To earn the tuition for his love, Su Yeon,
Jang Woo volunteers to join the army amidst high political tensions.
As Su Yeon waits for his return anxiously,
she receives a letter notifying the family of his death.
Just as she decides to kill herself,
a man comes into her life, Second Lieutenant Shin Tae Ho,
who finds his way into the hesitant heart of Su Yeon.
The day before their wedding,
Jang Woo, whom she believed to be dead, returns home.
As it happened, in a cruel twist of fate for the three of them,
a battle breaks out in the early morning hours of June 25
Episode 2
Captain!
What is that thing?
It's a tank.
It's a cannon on wheels.
Tank...?
A tank is coming!
A cannon on wheels!
Jong Ki, take the guys and run as fast as you can to the Yeongchon bridge!
Yes, sir!
Move!
Run!
Men! Follow him! Follow him!
Come on, you kids!
Run to the Yeongchon bridge!
Hurry up!
Go with him!
Come on, kiddo!
Go with him!
Hurry!
Run across the Yeongchon bridge!
Hurry!
Come out of there!
Get up. Get up!
Hurry.
Don't look back and just run! Run!
Tae Ho! Come on!
Tae Ho! Let's go.
Don't die here. Come on!
Come this way, kid!
Come on!
Ahjussi!
Huh?
Where did Su Hee go?
She said she was going to find out what's happening but she isn't back yet.
When Su Hee comes back, tell her I went to the storage shed in the back to find Oppa.
You can't tell this to anyone other than Su Hee.
Never.
Just what do you think is going on here?
Early this morning, with a surprise attack,
the army from the North crossed the 38th parallel and is moving south.
The South Korean army is currently fighting the enemy to protect our citizens.
Father! Little Agassi!
What about Su Yeon? Where is Su Yeon?
We don't know.
She said she was going to go see Oppa at the back storage.
What?
They're saying we have to evacuate right now, so what should we do?
Father, please take Little Agassi and cross the bridge for now.
Hurry!
I'll be right behind you!
Jang Woo!
What's the casualty report?
There are 5 dead and 22 hurt. Also, there are 15 missing.
An entire unit gone in an instant.
We never had a chance to put up a good fight and were pushed to this spot and now…
The situation along the entire 38th parallel line is probably the same as here.
I believe this to be only a leading attack.
The attack has ceased.
The intelligence report is still being gathered, but it is believed
the army units following are greater in number than the initial group.
General, what is to happen to us?
We're so scared, we don't know what to do!
Mayor,
for now tell your people to evacuate to south of Yeongchon.
Huh?
You'll be able to return soon so don't worry about packing your things.
Just tell them to get out of here.
General! Can we believe what you're telling us?
Of course. This will be all over soon; don't worry.
Let's go.
The security line north of Yeongchon has been breached.
We're in the process of establishing Zone 361 as the new security line.
I want you to be in charge of evacuating the citizens of Yeongchon,
and until the security zone has been established, stand guard every minute, every second.
I got it.
What about the manpower?
What do we have?
We have one army division and a reserve group, that's all.
We have to install the explosives on the bridge first!
We must!
We've gathered all the ammunition we have left.
- Is that all? - Yes.
The new allocation comes next week, so this is all that's left.
Where is the Major General?
He went in to town to gather the arrested and escaped.
Fine. You take the front line.
And you get your men ready to back them.
The rest of the men will stand at position.
Petty Officer, you come with me.
We must evacuate all the remaining residents to the south of here.
Do you understand?
- Yes. - Move out.
We must install the explosives on the Yeongchon bridge!
In our current situation, there are no technicians to do that!
I will install them myself.
I learned the basics at the academy.
I can do this!
Captain, they will definitely come through Yeongchon.
This is in direct line to Seoul, so they will definitely come through here.
No matter what, we must stop them here.
Can you really do it?
Yes.
If you can't, we'll face a greater problem.
I can do this, please trust me.
Su Yeon!
Oh, Su Yeon.
Su Yeon.
Are you okay?
Are you hurt anywhere?
How did you come here?
What about your brother?
It might have been too late.
And we're going to run out medicine soon.
This isn't the time to worry about your brother, let's go.
Where are we going?
Far away from here. Hurry!
Anyone here learn about explosives?
I did but I don't remember much of it.
Fine. You, Jang Ha Sa and Park Hong Ki!
Yes, sir!
Lee Ju Hwan?
Yes, sir!
The four of us will install the bombs.
Jang, you take the east side of the bridge.
I'll take the west side and while we're attaching the bombs underneath the bridge,
Park Hong Ki and Lee Ju Hwan, you will assist us from the top.
The rest of you will stand guard at the south end of the bridge.
Any questions?
No, sir.
We must not allow that tank to cross this bridge.
Let's hurry!
Yes, sir!
Follow me.
Lieutenant Shin!
It's me… Su Hee.
I was worried, but you were safe.
What a great relief.
Where's your sister?
She went to the back shed to look for Oppa.
Don't worry, I made sure to grab Unni's wedding dress.
Lieutenant Shin!
Su Yeon!
I can't go with you.
I'm going back home.
It's too late. You won't be able to cross the bridge.
Let's go; the two of us together.
What about your father? And what about Su Hee and my brother?
What if we get separated here and never see each other again?
Now that my brother has been found out to be a Northern sympathizer,
he won't be safe even when the war is over.
If I leave him now, in that condition, he'll die.
And Su Hee is still too young.
I have to be with them.
Then what about me?
Me?!
I finally get to see you after two years.
If we have to separate again, what am I supposed to do?
What if we can't see each other again, then what?!
Let's go…
Su Yeon, let's go.
I'm sorry, Jang Woo.
I just can't do it.
You will be able to survive by yourself,
but Oppa and Su Hee won't make it without me.
Jang Woo...
you come with me.
Please. Okay?
I can't.
You can't spend the rest of your life running.
I survived by hanging on to the belief that if I saw you,
that I only needed you to forget everything that happened to me.
And now you're asking me to do that all over again?!
Su Yeon...
I'm...
scared.
I stabbed, shot, and killed with these hands.
So I could stay alive, so I wouldn't die…
I killed. I killed them all.
I'm sorry Jang Woo; I didn't know.
I'm sorry.
Fasten the TNT to the triad support position of the bridge.
Yes, sir.
You just have to remain calm and do as you were taught.
Yes, I understand!
What are you going? Let's get going.
Grab it!
Be careful.
You can do this.
You can do this, Shin Tae Ho!
Please help me, Father.
How did they find out and attack us?
This is a secret, but tonight they will be putting explosives on the Yeongchon bridge.
The plans for the Yeongchon bridge… you…?
Did you even love me?
Lower it!
The tank is on the move. The tank is moving!
I got it.
Abandon the post and return to base!
Duk Shil! We need to hurry. Hurry the people along.
Yes, sir. Mayor, we need to hurry.
There's a tank moving in this direction. A tank is coming!
Captain.
Captain, we'll be able to return soon, won't we?
The day after tomorrow is the anniversary of my father's death.
Yes, we'll do our best.
Mayor, please hurry and cross the bridge.
Let's go everyone.
Let's hurry across the bridge. Hurry!
Lieutenant, what happens if these don't go off?
You just need to connect them like I showed you!
The red wire to the red wire and the black wire to the black!
I can't tell which one of these are red and which is black.
What should I do?
Stay calm! You'll see it.
Oh, man!
I just don't know. It's all up to chance now.
Sang Guk, what's happening with the explosives team?
They're still working on installing them.
Tell them to hurry up and finish and return.
Yes, sir.
- Jong Ki, have we evacuated everyone? - Yes.
Are you scared?
No, sir.
Let's not be scared and remain calm.
Yes, sir.
We're short on ammunition so follow orders when using your guns.
Yes, sir.
Don't shoot off your gun every which way because you're scared!
- You got it?! - Yes, sir! Yes, sir!
- You understand! - Yes, sir!
Oh! Lieutenant, sir!
Lower it.
What is that?
I asked you what that was!
They're here!
- Jang Ha Sa! Hurry it up! - Yes, sir!
Jong Ki! Get them to hurry it up! Hurry!
Tae Ho! Hey, Shin Tae Ho!
Just a little bit more; give me just a little more time.
Tae Ho. Shin Tae Ho, get back here immediately!
Hurry up and get out of there!
It's almost finished. It's almost done.
Tae Ho! Get out of there!
They're going to kill you, you bastard! Get out of there!
Hey! Jong Ki! Let's go get him!
It's done. Are you finished?
Yes, sir!
Pull us up!
We have to lay down the wire.
We must retreat behind the lines right now!
We're almost there. Let go!
Hurry!
Hurry it up!
We need to hurry!
We're short.
Tae Ho! You'll get hurt if you stay there!
Give it up and get over here!
Give it up and come here!
Put your heads down.
Keep your heads down!
You bastards!
We need to get that.
See that! Run over there and grab it!
M... me?!
Hurry up and get it! Hurry!
Ju Hwan!
Lieutenant! You can't! We will all die!
Get down!
Hong Ki!
Hong Ki.
Park Hong Ki.
Park Hong Ki!
Lieutenant, did I do good?
- Yes. Good job, kid! - I hurt.
Not here... Just follow me.
Watch and run after me. Got it?
Yes, sir!
You're okay?
Head down. Keep your head down.
Get ready to cover them.
Tae Ho!
Pull.
Drag them in!
Ju Hwan!
Ju Hwan.
Ju Hwan!
Ju Hwan.
Ju Hwan!
It's all my fault.
Oh Jong Ki! Pull the men back.
Retreat!
Retreat
Retreat, men!
Retreat!
Hurry!
Retreat!
We're retreating. Retreat!
Hey!
Didn't you hear the order to retreat?
Ju Hwan is right there.
He's asking me to save him.
I have to go and save him.
Ju Hwan is dead! Come to your senses!
Do you want to die as well?
Yes, I will die right here.
Tae Ho!
Kim Su Yeon was on the North's side.
The woman who was going to be my bride!
I had no idea and I told her this and that.
About installing explosives on Yeongchon bridge,
I'm the one who told her!
Shin Tae Ho!
It's all because of me.
They all died because of me and you want me to run away?
Don't tell anyone what you just told me.
I'm ordering you as your captain and as your superior!
You must forget that forever, Tae Ho.
Forget it forever. You must forget it forever!
We're retreating!
Retreat!
Tae Ho.
Right... come to me.
I'll kill all of you.
Let's die.
We'll all die together.
Did you even love me?
No.
No!
Why?!
Come here.
Come!
I shouldn't have joined from the beginning.
I should have listened to you.
For two years, without missing a day, I drew your face.
In the world I know, only you exist.
Tell me.
Tell me that in the world you know, there is only me.
My men died right in front of my eyes.
They died because of me.
And, Kim Su Yeon, because of you.
And still...
I wanted to see you.
Kim Su Yeon...
whether you really loved me,
and your promise to become my wife was sincere,
I wanted to confirm that.
No matter what I say, you probably won't believe it.
Everything I said to you… my promise…
they were all sincere.
But that promise was when Jang Woo wasn't of this world.
Because I still had to live in a world that didn't contain Jang Woo.
What about now?
Answer me!
Everything happened because I showed up.
If you're going to shoot Su Yeon, shoot me first.
If I die, you won't have a reason to shoot Su Yeon.
Here. Shoot me!
Oh no! Agassi!
Abum!* (*nickname to mean Father, used by Su Hee)
Abum!
Abum.
Agassi, are you alright?
Abum.
So?
Her name is Kim Su Yeon.
She hid sympathizers for the North and worked in the Yeongchon medical center.
No, that is not true.
Kim Su Yeon's brother, Kim Su Hyuk, is not on the South's side.
And he's the leader of the Yeongchon group that attacked us.
Because of him, we could not place the explosives on the bridge and lost our men.
Not Su Yeon.
Lieutenant Shin Tae Ho is mistaken here.
Everything about her life was to cover up her double life.
What did you say?
Be quiet.
I've seen you around town, haven't I?
We have a lot of seriously hurt people.
Would you give them medical attention?
Captain, we have to handle this matter according to military guidelines.
Military guidelines?
If that is the case, then if she's found guilty, she should be executed.
Do you think I should shoot her right here,
or save my men over there who are dying?
Huh?
What do you think I should do?
Doctor, please come with me.
Do you think you just saved Kim Su Yeon?
Su Yeon is unjustly suspected.
We lost a lot of lives.
I'll expose the truth and make her suffer the consequences.
Is that coming from your heart?
Must you see blood on your hands?
You don't really want to kill Su Yeon.
You only want her back. Isn't that true?
You've never killed anyone, have you?
Do you want to hurry up and experience that horrific and dirty act?
Why?
Do you regret the hardships you endured at the hands of the partisans?
I have no regrets.
Because it was all for Su Yeon.
Then I guess you must join the battle.
Don't think a war is a game for a minute.
I've been discharged.
We're in the middle of a war.
During a war, all military men report for duty, even those discharged.
Do whatever you want.
I have no plans to hold a gun in my hand again.
You… or Kim Su Yeon…
we'll probably find everything about you to be lies.
Hold this gun and fight until you're discharged.
I'm not telling you to kill people who are innocent.
You will continue to carry out your duties and fight in this war.
That's an order.
Ki Soon, what are you doing?
Let's eat some potatoes, okay?
Come on, get up.
Jang Woo!
Little Agassi, are you okay?
Where's my sister right now?
Did she come with you?
Yes, she's safe.
Don't worry about her.
But, where is my father?
Abum was hurt badly.
I have to ask Unni to tend to him.
What? What do you mean he was hurt?
Little Agassi, are you hungry?
Is food important right now?
What's wrong with you?
Su Hee.
Here… somewhere in here is some corn.
Ahjussi, you shouldn't move.
We'll take care of ourselves, so you rest.
Don't you hear that? The doctor is saying you need to rest.
They've gotten through Uijeongbu so it's only a matter of time before they reach Seoul.
What we must do now is to cross Han River quickly and shore up the defense line.
Then what do we do about the tank forces?
If we abandon our fight, we'll just be chased by them.
And what about the citizens?
Let the evacuees go on their own.
It's a priority to strengthen the defensive line.
They trusted us and followed us here. You want to abandon them?
Captain, do you think we're here on a volunteer excursion?
We can't take all these old folks and slow us down.
Protecting the people is also our duty.
If you're so great, why don't you stay behind and stop the tanks?
I understand what you feel but what can we do in this situation?
We have to find a way to get there as quickly as we can.
General,
those people over there have been waiting for us.
You promised them and they're believing it completely…
that they will be able to go back home soon.
What can we do in this situation?
I know what you're feeling, but stop being such a softy.
When the men pull out, only the citizens will remain.
Tell them to leave as soon as possible.
General...
What?
We can't leave them here.
My group will stay behind.
What are you talking about?
Please give us your permission.
Are you saying you're going to go up against the tanks?
We'll do our best.
We only have a few guns and no men.
What is this shit?!
Our men have not received any training for a major war,
and today is the first time we've laid our eyes on a tank.
Just hearing the word "tank" will have them quaking in their boots.
Sir, how can we go up against tanks?
We're the shield to block the shots while they make their escape, that's what this is.
Isn't that obvious?
Please tell the general that we can't do this.
I'm the one who requested this.
I acknowledge that it was a reckless decision and I won't make any excuses.
But I do feel bad toward you for it.
Anyone who wants to leave may go.
I won't hold you here.
I will fight.
I would rather die here than die while running away.
I will fight also.
You said we have to stop the tanks for the people to cross the river.
Then we must stop them.
If you hold your hands up and stand in front of the tank, will it stop for you?
I'll go and see if there are any weapons we can get from the troops leaving.
I'll go with you.
If we turn our back on them, the danger will be greater.
And the people will be greater danger as well.
We need to buy as much time as possible.
That is all.
Did everybody go crazy?
You're all going to end up dead!
I did what I could but he needs to be operated on as soon as possible.
If it gets infected in this kind of weather, he could critically worsen.
Su Yeon...
I don't think I can go with you.
Please take care of my father.
Don't worry; I'll do my best.
Captain, are we going back home?
I'm sorry.
We need to part ways here.
Captain, what do you mean by that?
You said we can return home shortly, so we left our house and land deeds behind.
But now you say you're leaving us?
Now…
now there are no soldiers to the north of us.
We are at the furthermost north.
So all of you must hurry and flee south.
Those of you who can run, run.
Those of you who will walk, walk as fast as you can… and escape to the south.
The situation is not good.
You must hurry up and cross the Han River.
We will stay here and try to stand guard for you to cross the river safely.
We will do our very best.
As a solider…
as a soldier, I am very sorry for not being able to have kept you safe.
The love you've shown us will never be forgotten.
I hope for all of you to stay alive, so we can meet again.
Farewell.
- Oh my goodness. - My goodness.
Please get up.
Hurry along now.
Be safe.
Let's get going.
Yes, Father, I'm coming.
Father, don't worry too much.
As soon as you cross the Han River, Su Yeon will take you to a hospital.
Little Agassi, I'll see you later on.
If you're worried about Abum, hurry up and come.
Don't leave the care of him to just us.
Su Yeon.
Please take care of my father.
Take care of yourself.
Stay alive. Promise.
Life is just as a vapor,
and forever treacherous.
When this body gives up life,
it will be as cold as the dew.
Yes, it will be as cold as the dew.
We may not be able to overtake them but we should be able to stop them.
Where the road is narrowest, we'll dig holes and set up booby traps.
Just because we dig traps, you think we can stop those monsters?
When the tanks are moving together and the leading ones fall into the traps,
the ones behind will have to stop, right?
Let's just buy some time.
And if we do that, the Yeongchon folks will be able to cross the river safely. Hmm?
- Lieutenant Han. - Yes.
- Park Mun Ho. - Yes.
Once several tanks have fallen into the hole, then blow up the side of the hill.
But if you detonate before the 3 or 4 tanks have fallen in, then what will happen?
That can't be, right?
The traps we've worked hard to dig will be filled up, right?
Do you understand what I'm saying?
I understand.
- Be alert! - Yes, sir.
After the tanks have fallen into the hole, then detonate.
Yes, I understand.
- Sergeant Kim. - Yes.
Once the first explosion has taken place, you will be responsible for the 2nd explosion.
When first explosion has buried the front units,
your explosion will block in the back to trap them in.
- Got it? - Yes.
- Kwon Jin. - Yes.
You'll be in position and when you see the tanks have been blocked in,
shoot at the tanks behind the ones that fell in the hole.
Yes, I understand.
Jong Ki, you and Lt. Shin Tae Ho take the rest of the soldiers and cover from up there.
Can you do it?
I can do it.
Don't get nervous. Let's fight on.
Once the tanks have been trapped, in accordance with our plan, we will proceed to the Han River.
Any questions?
If we used all the explosives but we haven't trapped the tanks, then what will we do?
Don't speak such dirty nonsense, you bastard!
If things don't go as you plan, don't you have a backup plan, Captain?
In that case,
the only thing we can do is to use ourselves as human arsenal.
You want us to fight with chunks of steel?
Even if we get the leading tanks but the rear tanks find their way out, the plan is futile.
In my opinion, we must make the rear tanks immobile as well.
I can understand what you're saying but these are all the explosives we have.
Continue...
We can get them with Molotov cocktails.
What?
We used these bottle bombs in a battle with the partisans.
If we use them together with the grenades, they become more powerful.
I thought you might have had something.
Hey, isn't that what the kids do for lunar celebration?
Just because we throw fire on them, that won't make the tanks stop.
Even explosives don't make them flinch.
The tank might remain intact but the people inside will have to come out.
All we have to do is capture the people inside.
If we get them, we'll get them all.
We can block the openings and make them open their lids.
Then we'll climb the tank and throw in the bombs.
What about the guns on the tanks?
Do you think they'll just sit and wait for us?
Of course, if we're to go for the tanks, sacrifice is to be expected.
If things don't go as planned, Sergeant Lee Jang Woo take over with your plan.
Yes, sir.
Can you get them ready right away?
Yes, sir.
I'll say it once again,
our main objective is to buy enough time for the people to cross the river.
If they get by us, not only us but those people will be placed in grave danger.
Whatever we have to do, we must stop the tanks.
Let's see each other after succeeding. For certain.
Yes, sir.
It's not a deep cut so it should be okay.
Unni!
Abum is acting strange.
Ahjussi! Ahjussi, can you hear me?
Jang Woo, you rascal.
Where have you been?
Do you know how much I searched for you?
Abum, are you crazy?
Can't you see this is Unni? Unni! Come to your senses!
Agassi, I'm sorry.
This old man is causing you precious ladies such a hardship.
They said the boat will be here soon.
You just have to hang on a little bit longer.
We just have to cross the river.
Abum, did you hear that?
Hang on just a bit longer.
Jang… Jang… Jang Woo… where is he?
He's almost here. Do you see right over there?
That boy got in trouble by the young master and his hand is hurt.
I want to put some ointment on it but he's not coming home.
Don't worry. I'll put some ointment on him so he won't be in pain.
Agassi, thank you so much.
Thank you for being good to our Jang Woo.
Thank you very much.
Abum!
Abum! Wake up!
You said you'll boil some corn for me!
Open your eyes! Open your eyes!
Hurry up and open your eyes. Open your eyes!
Abum!
Wake up!
Get up.
Get up, they're coming.
Everybody stay alert.
Yes, sir.
Come on, come on.
Come closer.
Come just a little closer.
A little more. A little more.
Come a little closer.
Not yet. It's not time yet.
A little more.
Not yet. Not yet.

Su Yeon!
Jang Woo!
Su Yeon!
Don't worry and just go on ahead!
I'll be right behind you!
We will definitely return to the way we were.
Just a minute!
If you want to win the war or bring back the dead,
you must stay alive to do it!
What should we do now?
I have to see Kim Su Yeon and hear her answer.
I want to hear how sincere she was when she promised me forever.
When I think of you, I believe in forever.
Su Yeon, I've made up my mind.
So you need to go along with it.
