This drama spans the first year of the Korean War,
which broke out on June 25, 1950 and rages for three years.
Most of the events surrounding 6/25 have been dramatically recreated
and do not reflect any actual individuals or troops.
On September 15, 1950,
the Battle of Incheon broke out,
and with the U.N. forces under General MacArthur, the battle was won.
The South Korean troops recaptured the defense line at Dabudong
and crossed the Nakdong River and marched north.
Episode 8
Assistance here! Assistance!
Get the bazooka!
Lee Jang Woo.
Dong Soo, you bastard. You damned bastard.
Use the flames!
Dong Soo, you bastard. Don't die and wait for me. I have a lot to hear from you.
You rotten bastard!
Is that how you repay your debt of life?
You weren't like that before!
It wasn't of your free will, was it?
Tell me it wasn't!
H.. hyung-nim.
Why?
Why did you do that?
Why did you shoot my Captain?
Please… please save me.
Please.
Dong Soo! Lee Dong Soo.
Dong Soo!
Dong Soo! Dong Soo!
Just what is the purpose of this fight?
Dong Soo!
Park Dal Mun! Run!
Throw the bottle bombs!
This is the only hospital in the village.
This is the hospital that my mother comes to for her ailments.
How can I do this?
If this hospital burns down, where will my mother go?
Mother! Bong Soon!
Cover!
Roll!
Lee Jang Woo, you bastard!
Byung Gu!
Save this kid.
I can't let him go like this.
- Tech Sergeant Go! What are you doing? - Byung Gu! Medic!
Medic!
Sergeant Go!
Please save this kid!
Byung Gu!
Private Park Dal Mun,
if we capture that gun up there, we can go home.
Really? Then I can see my mother and Bong Soon?
There are only three of us here.
We have to work together.
You have to help us.
What do I have to do?
All we have to do is go up there together and throw these at the enemy.
Petty Officer Kim and I will do the rest.
Can you do it?
Yes. I must! I can do it!
Petty Officer Kim, let's go.
Get that machine gun! The machine gun!
Private, did you lose this?
What are you doing? I ordered you to move in!
Private!
Private…
We're going in.
One… two…
three!
Hey! Get up.
Huh!
What are you doing? Hurry up!
Dong Soo.
Wake up.
Hold on just a little longer. The Medic will be right here.
Medic!
Please go to Heaven.
Hey, get up!
Lieutenant…
Park Dal Mun has run away.
Father...
I'm here.
Your bad son, Dal Mun, is here.
Forgive me, please?
Father…
Mother and Bong Soon are alright, aren't they?
Father,
please watch over Mother and Bong Soon.
Park Dal Mun!
Sergeant Oh, please let me go.
I must see my mother and Bong Soon.
Sergeant Oh!
Get up. Let's stop this and go.
Get up!
Mother!
Bong Soon!
Park Dal Mun, were you really trying to run away?
That's not it.
My house is not even 5 kilometers from here.
I was just going to go and come back quickly.
That's running away, you bastard!
What else could I have done?
How could I come all the way here and not go home?
Is it so wrong for me to want to see my mother and my wife?
The penalty for running away during war is being shot!
Keeping guys like this will only bring us bad luck.
Why don't we just follow procedure?
Get up.
Go and wait for me.
Take him away for now.
Yes, sir.
Let's pretend it never happened.
I'm sure he wasn't really trying to run away.
What?
He was running away and I captured him and brought him back.
You witnessed it and can still say that?
His home is right in front of his nose.
I'm sure we all feel the same in the desire to go home.
Sergeant, give us some privacy.
I don't think it's a good idea to cover this up.
He'll just become more of a sissy.
He put his life on the line to fight until just a while ago.
If Park Dal Mun didn't retrieve the bottle bombs,
we wouldn't have been able to get that machine gun.
Lieutenant Lee Jang Woo,
why did you go against my orders?
I definitely ordered you to not use flames.
Decisions can be made, depending on the situation at hand.
Situation at hand?
I suppose that could be.
But the fact remains that you disobeyed my order.
I learned that in battle,
the leader must make decisions based on the situation.
Then did you not learn that you must obey orders of your superiors?
If you admit your wrong and beg for my forgiveness,
I will let this go.
I didn't do anything wrong yet you want me to beg?!
Beg.
I will not.
Do you know what is more scary than the enemy during a war?
Underlings who disobey orders.
Lieutenant Lee Jang Woo…
Are you jealous of Lee Jang Woo?
Everything I said to you, all my promises, were sincere.
But that promise
was when Jang Woo wasn't in this world.
The General is here!
Salute the General!
Hands down!
This is Lieutenant Ma Chang Gil who will join Company 2.
He'll probably head the 1st Platoon.
If Lieutenant Shin becomes the Captain,
his position will be open.
The battle report is 23 dead, 34 POWs.
Results as those of a major battle.
What about on our side?
There are 4 dead and 9 hurt.
That includes the Captain.
Captain Yoon Sam Soo was someone I cared for and valued the most.
It's regretful to have lost someone like him,
but you continued on in spite of your loss and achieved victory and I'm proud of you!
I'm certain Captain Yoon Sam Soo, who went on to heaven,
is as happy and proud of you as I am.
To Company 2, who regained Dabudong Hill 674,
great praises have come down from above.
Additionally,
to the leader of the special task force that was instrumental in that victory,
a promotion of a full position higher is awarded.
Step forward, Special Task Force.
From this moment forward,
Company 2 will be led by Company Commander Lee Jang Woo.
Company Commander Lee Jang Woo,
I hope you will lead your men in the same great manner
as Captain Yoon Sam Soo.
Why are you just standing there, Platoon Leader?
Company, attention!
Salute our newly appointed Company Commander!
[Pyeongyang Military Hospital]
Eat this and gather your strength.
There will be a lot of work to do soon.
What is your name?
It's Lee Myung Ho.
How old?
I'm 8 years old.
Where is your mom?
What about your dad?
They told me my mom died and went to Heaven.
And when my dad died, we buried him in the ground.
Then you're all alone?
Can I come back tomorrow?
Hmm?
Pretty Noona, let's see each other again.
Commander, everyone has gathered.
The helmet looks nice on you.
Is that so?
He looks great as a commander.
I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?
Give us the bad news first.
They say it's better to be first in line for punishment.
We won't have time to rest.
We've received an order to leave Boeun immediately and move north.
Then, what about the good news?
The U.N. Forces who got to Incheon on September 15th,
have bulldozed clear to the edge of Seoul.
So let the great Company 2,
also protect Seoul, our Capital, and march to the north!
Victory to South Korea!
Louder!
Victory to South Korea!
Victory to Company 2!
Let's go!
Hooray!
Victory!
Baby, he's a soldier of our country.
He's so cute.
You'll make him cry. Let's go.
Welcome. Thank you for coming!
- Thank you. - Thank you for coming through our town.
You had the seniority as a Lieutenant. How could this have happened?
What did I say?
I told you to not underestimate Lee Jang Woo.
So?
Situations can change overnight during a war.
If you and I team up,
it won't take any work to get him out of the way.
I just can't stand the sight of that Lee Jang Woo.
That's enough.
From now on, show your respect to your superiors always.
Do you understand?
I understand.
Hello? Hello?
I'm not a bad person so please don't shoot me.
Hello?
Honey.
Honey!
It's me, Dal Mun.
Honey!
This is my bride.
What ridiculous game is this, in a battle field?
What are we doing?
As long as the Captain okayed it, isn't that all that's important?
We're just worried
that this will get out and make us the laughing stock of the army.
There are plenty of families who haven't even gotten a letter.
Isn't this unfair?
Okay, okay.
Why do you keep crying?
And what were you doing?
How could you have followed us all the way here?
Do you know how dangerous it is?
As a daughter-in-law, if I don't bear a child to carry on the name,
how will I be able to hold my head up?
So, I thought I had to come see you even if i broke my legs in the process.
So I ran after you as if my life depended on it.
When will I see you again after this?
I can't live without you.
If we live, we live together. If we die…
You're the most important person in the world to me.
Of course.
I know.
I know all that.
You must stay alive and return home.
You must not die.
Okay.
Company Commander Lee Jang Woo,
you permitting this special visitation to Park Dal Mun…
I thought granting special permission is a right of a commander.
A commander must be responsible for the entire company.
And that is why I granted the permission.
Because everyone can be happy for him as if it they were him.
The late Captain Yoon Sam Soo was like an older brother to me.
He will be the only commander to me. You are not my commander.
So...
don't expect any more than that from me.
As comrades, all we have to do is fight together.
Duty.
What else is important?
As I thought, you are not a soldier.
You're just someone who fights.
My view of you will never change.
Then I begin...
to conduct myself with you within my position.
Lieutenant Shin Tae Ho!
You spewed the words that orders of superiors must be followed,
yet you turn away from your superior without a salute?
You haven't forgotten your promise to me, have you?
You said you now had a goal,
to live and make it to Pyeongyang.
I'm curious as well…
what Su Yeon's answer will be.
Hyungsoo-nim*(*older brother's wife),
I will stay close by and take care of Dal Mun.
So all you have to worry about is having a son who looks like this ogre, okay?
What are you doing? You're embarrassing her.
Jesoo-ssi* (*younger brother's wife),
this machine gun here will protect Park Dal Mun,
so put your worries away.
I'm from Pusan also.
We took turns standing guard for you so when you have your baby,
remember that baby is Company 2's baby.
What are you saying then? All of us are that baby's father?
Tech Sergeant, I thought you became a mute.
Did your mouth start to work again?
It's because I can't stand to hear the ridiculous things you say anymore.
Jesoo-ssi, give birth to a son.
We will all be pulling for that to happen.
Did you hear all that, honey?
We're like real brothers here so you don't have to worry about me.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
If you really are, just saying it won't do.
Baby! Baby!
Those kids…
they act like they're having a baby themselves.
It doesn't feel too bad to watch them.
The way they're chanting,
they might end up with quadruplets.
You're right. It seems to have raised the morale of the entire company.
Company 2, move out!
Hurry along!
Go home now.
Go.
Go now.
Myung Ho!
Wow.
I didn't think you were coming so I was about to cry.
I'm sorry.
Something important came up.
Did someone die?
No. The opposite of that.
Noona has a baby…
a new life.
Wow, really?
So where is the baby?
It's still inside the tummy.
Can I touch, just once?
Wow.
Who is the daddy?
He's someone I love.
Wow. Where is he?
I don't know.
But for some reason, I feel like he's near.
What are you doing?
Hmm?
Hurry up and eat this.
I'm small because my mom couldn't eat well when I was in her tummy.
What will you do when the baby gets upset with you because he's so small?
Hurry up and eat this.
Oh, that's right. You're right.
Let's eat.
If I'm going to have a strong baby, I'd better eat.
[September 25, 1950. Janghowon]
We've received special orders to make sure we're
the first to cross the 38th Parallel.
The location is Janghowon.
The time is the current day, by 17th hour.
Continue to march straight on.
Hurry along!
Get a move on!
They're in disguise as South Korean soldiers.
Squad One to the top of the hill and cover. The rest, come with me.
Move immediately.
What is that?
Are there soldiers who were ahead of us?
They're in disguise.
What?
Contact the 1st Platoon and tell them to not attack and keep moving.
We need to kill them, not let them go!
They're soldiers who have given up.
They're in those clothes so they won't be shot at.
Still...
We can't lose any time here.
- Hurry up and contact them! - Yes, sir.
Call the platoons and tell them to stop and wait right where they are!
Pardon?
Our plans to cross the parallel line are cancelled.
Cancel the plan?
Contact headquarters!
Eagle, Eagle! This is Black Kite.
Come in Eagle. Eagle!
This isn't a game… so wishy-washy.
They are North Korean soldiers.
Move out quickly.
Lieutenant!
This is Black Kite 1.
Plans to march on are cancelled.
Platoon 1, remain where you are and wait. Inform the entire platoon. Over!
Wait?
What is the reason for this?
First you say we must hurry and cross the line,
so why are you cancelling it just before we do?
We don't have time for these delays.
The enemy is fighting hard.
Isn't pursuing and defeating the enemy the basic strategy of war?
You say you know war strategy but you attacked like that?
The 1st Platoon just attacked the enemy soldiers in disguise.
So, did that hinder our plans any bit?
It took no more than 5 minutes to kill them all.
Didn't you think there would be a reason why they're in disguise?
One reason could be they're here to check on our presence.
The enemy soldiers nearby would have heard the gun shots.
You've exposed our location to any enemy nearby.
As such, it is not possible to march on under the current circumstances.
I've reported it to headquarters and will take full responsibility for this.
I will be the one to take the responsibility for this.
Until the next order, you will remain where you are and wait.
Be on alert for surprise attacks.
Man.
You've killed a group of the enemy but you're not praised but scolded for it?
What the Captain said makes sense.
Sense my ass.
The U.N. forces are making their way in to Seoul.
They're too busy running away to spring a surprise an attack on us.
If there is a single enemy soldier around here, I'll eat my hat.
Isn't it obvious?
He just doesn't want to report your accomplishment to the higher ups.
You and I know the reason for that all too well.
He's afraid your accomplishments will get you promoted.
He was barely made Company Commander and hasn't yet had a chance to show off.
Why are you being like this?
Let's all calm down. Calm down.
Which of you are freshly enlisted?
You can put your hands down, hands down.
There's no need to be scared.
In the entire army of South Korea, there is no company like Company 2.
In brotherhood, loyalty… no one comes close.
Look.
I was shot in the leg.
I almost died but lived because of my brothers of Company 2.
How will I repay my debt…?
Kid…
It'll be fine.
Hey! Company 2!
It's me! Jang Doo Shik! Jang Doo Shik is here!
You're here, in the flesh!
How is your leg?
It doesn't always keep up with the beat, but useful nonetheless.
Like this!
Lieutenant! Jang Doo Shik is here.
Jang Doo Shik.
Hey! You loser…
why did you come back? Why didn't you go somewhere else?
I was going to, but I missed Lieutenant Lee Jang Woo too much.
Dal Mun, you're here too.
I'm sorry about what happened at Dabudong.
Kid, look how dark you've gotten. You look like a real soldier now.
Where is Lee Jang Woo?
Hey, you shouldn't be so disrespectful of your superior.
It's okay. You don't know how close we are.
When we recaptured the bunker at Dabudong,
if it wasn't for me, he wouldn't be around today.
You're in for a big shock.
Why?
Where is he?
Is he dead?
What?
Lee Jang Woo is not dead.
It's so great to see…!
I'm glad you're here, Doo Shik.
What… what is going on…?
He's the Company Commander.
C-Commander?
- Really? - Yes.
Oh man…
I was gone for only a bit and come back to find Lieutenant Lee is the Commander
but Lieutenant Shin is still a Platoon Leader.
You haven't changed a bit with that running on of your mouth.
But listen, don't you think it would be confusing for you?
Why don't you sit down now and stop talking?
Didn't you miss me?
Hey, should we hear from our babies now?
The babies… oh, wow!
How old are you?
I'm 17 years old.
What use is this kid to us, who's still wet behind the ears?
To serve my country, I joined voluntarily!
- What? Volunteered? - Yes.
Did your mother give you permission?
I joined without my family's knowledge.
What? You rotten kid!
How worried must your mother be? Huh?
What a terrible son.
But he does have courage.
Give him lots of crackers to eat.
What is this?
It's a gift for your promotion.
Soon Bon bought it for me when I was in Pusan.
Soon Bon?
Is that your girlfriend?
There's a girl acts like she can't live without me.
She had my child.
Congratulations.
I didn't know you got married.
No, I didn't.
I'm going to earn a lot of money then give her a grand wedding later.
Take this back.
Jesoo-ssi bought this for the father of her baby.
You shouldn't give it to me.
Actually, it's a bribe.
I named my son but if you won't permit it, I can't give him that name.
I named him after you.
Then...
his name is Jang Jang Woo?
I'm alive today because of you.
Please give me your permission.
The Jang Woos will probably meet each other sometime in the future.
Then are you giving me your permission? Are you?
Yes, since I ate your bribe.
It's sweet. It's the first time I've tasted such a sweet bribe.
Thank you!
Jang Woo. Jang Jang Woo!
Jang Woo!
Jang Woo.
I'm kidding. I'm just kidding.
You've worked hard.
Oh by the way, In Sook…
Where can I go to get some fruit?
Pardon?
Please find some for me.
Why would you suddenly ask for fruit?
Because I should remain healthy.
Yes.
Smile like that.
I'm on my way to you right now.
Change in plans.
We'll leave this place for the new troops to take care of.
We will go move on straightaway to Yangpyun.
Seoul isn't too far from here.
If we go and achieve victory, the rest of the army will be envious of us.
What happened?
About a kilometer away, there is a squad of enemy soldiers lying in wait.
There are 3 positions set up to attack.
The field gun was not visible.
One squad? Is that all?
Yes, I confirmed it myself.
Let's just take them down in one shot.
If we get over that ridge, we'll be almost to Yangpyun.
What if the squad is only what they're allowing us see.
He said he confirmed it.
There is no field gun and only 3 positions of attack.
It's a piece of cake!
This is a ploy to fool us.
A ploy?
It's a trick to get us to come to them.
If we try to go over the ridgeline without being certain,
it's possible we will be attacked.
What do you mean attacked?
They're just the last of the men fleeing.
I'm sure that just a glimpse of us will have them running for their lives.
Don't you think so?
I also believe this to be a ploy.
Platoon 1 Leader!
They're too busy running away to…
There's no way they would have left the way to Yangpyun wide open.
I'm certain it's a ploy to get us to take this route.
But where they are is in direct line shortcut.
Why should we forego a shortcut and take the longer way around?
We will not take any risks.
The first group will pretend to go over the 7th ridge but turn around
and come right back.
After that, the 8th ridge.
We must not show the entire company at any time.
I don't quite understand.
After we do it once or twice, those in hiding should come out.
Only after we've confirmed the full force of the enemy
will the entire company engage in attack.
The first group to go?
The 2nd Platoon will go.
Are you sure?
No.
Lieutenant Ma is lacking in battle experience.
I will go.
Fine.
The 1st Platoon will go
and the rest of the company will stay and cover them.
That's all.
You should be more assertive.
If you act like that with the Commander, what does that make me look like?
You're giving up and resigning yourself to serving the Company Commander?
Let's get our acts together, okay?
Sergeant Oh, you've misunderstood something.
The one we should be fighting is not Lee Jang Woo
but the enemy out there.
To me...
everyone in this world, except me, is an enemy.
Still, I thought I could team up with you.
I'm disappointed.
- First Platoon! - Yes, sir!
First Platoon, take cover. Take cover!
First Platoon, charge! Charge!
- Charge! - Charge!
Cease fire! Our brothers have started to climb! Cease fire!
Charge!
Bastard!
Please spare my life!
Platoon Leader!
Please spare my life.
There is a large force in hiding.
What?
Then what are you doing here?
Just over there, they're hiding like a pack of rats. I'm telling you the truth!
Let's finish up and go back, Lieutenant.
Why is it so quiet?
What are they doing, not coming back down?
Contact the 1st Platoon. Tell them to come back down immediately.
Yes, sir.
Magpie, this is Black Kite.
Aren't you going to answer, Lieutenant?
Lieutenant!
Magpie, this is Black Kite.
Answer!
First Platoon, what are you doing?
Come down from there this instant.
Lieutenant!
Lieutenant, let's go back down.
It's an order from the Commander.
- Lieutenant! - Be quiet, you fool!
If we capture all the enemies here, it's possible…
Lieutenant!
You can receive a full position promotion.
A full position promotion? Lieutenant!
Lieutenant…
Platoon 1! Platoon 1!

What is the reason why you're never fail?
I must stay alive. That is my reason.
I didn't die... Su Yeon…
How can you do this to me?
What do you mean stay behind in Pyeongyang?
Isn't it a good opportunity to prove the sincerity of your loyalty?
You can't!
Myung Ho! Myung Ho!
I no longer think I have the right to remain in Company 2.
This is my formal request to transfer.
As your Commander, I will be the one to make the decision on what you will do.
I don't think I can follow your orders.
We cannot lose our focus until we reach Pyeongyang.
We must be the first to get there.
Shin Tae Ho. Shin Tae Ho!
Didn't you once tell me that what's scarier than the enemy
is an underling who disobeys an order?
In the manner of a commissioned officer, kill yourself.
Victory to South Korea.
