This drama spans the first year of the Korean War,

which broke out on June 25, 1950, and raged for three years.

Most of the events of the Korean War have been dramatically recreated,

and do not reflect any actual individuals or troops.

To the 2nd Company waiting in Pyeongyang, new orders are issued to proceed North.

They press on, embracing hope of victory for the war.

What lies ahead for them in the bitter cold of the North,

is news that takes them by surprise, like a bolt of lightening...

We will hear the testimony of a witness.

Kim Su Yeon, stand up.

Witness, come forward.

This is First Lieutenant Shin Tae Ho, who arrested...

and turned Kim Su Yeon over to the the Military Police.

Witness First Lieutenant Shin Tae Ho,

were there occasions where the actions of Kim Su Yeon

hurt our military activities or planned strategy?

Yes, there were.

A decision will be handed down...

after a review of the written and verbal testimonies.

Without any doubt, her actions hindered our activities.

That is enough.

You do not need to provide any details, only the verified facts.

But the Kim Su Yeon I know is a doctor...

who is only concerned with saving lives, with no regard to their background.

What is it you�re trying to say?

It�s not a crime for a doctor to save lives.

No matter under what registry her name is included,

I�m sure there was only one reason for it.

That is to save a person from dying.

Shin Tae Ho has testified that Kim Su Yeon caused hindrances to our army�s operations.

Are you retracting that testimony?

I... am staking the honor of my position,

as an army officer,

in stating her innocence.

Then why did you arrest Kim Su Yeon?

It was to prove her innocence.

What is your relationship to Kim Su Yeon?

We were engaged to be married.

Then the court cannot accept your testimony as being objective.

I accept that.

I ask for your permission to call other officers to testify.

I�ll make the decision after hearing who they are.

He is the hero for entering Pyeongyang first.

I expect all of you to know who he is through UN newspapers.

Please keep in mind that you must tell the truth from this moment.

Kim Su Yeon served as the doctor to the 2nd Company while we were in Yeongchon.

Immediately after the war broke out,

she saved dozens of lives,

not only soldiers, but citizens who were fleeing the war.

She also saved our Captain�s life, which means she saved...

the lives of men in his company, including me.

I make my statement on the honor of the medal I received.

To say Kim Su Yeon is guilty of any war crimes...

is saying every man of 2nd Company is guilty.

My name is Harris Burton of the US Military Press.

If you will permit, I would like to present the information...

I gathered while doing my research.

According to my research, the lives Kim Su Yeon saved...

are not limited to only the 2nd Company.

Were it not for Doctor Kim Su Yeon,

we would have continued to suffer in the basement of that hospital...

without receiving any care, and would have died.

It is only now that we have the opportunity to thank you...

for caring for us while you were being punished for it.

I have witnessed many war tragedies.

But I have never seen...

such a selfless act of sacrifice as this.

I plead for a sound decision.

Kim Su Yeon.

Yes.

We will hear the testimony from one other witness before making our decision.

We will delay your judgment.

Next, Park Gap Yong come forward.

Shin Tae Ho!

When I first met Kim Su Yeon again,

I thought I would beg with my life.

But Kim Su Yeon�s only concern was saving that child.

She said it didn�t matter what happened to her, and asked me to save him.

Then...

It made me think...

of the very first time I saw her.

Kim Su Yeon�s devotion was only to saving lives.

The Kim Su Yeon I loved didn�t change.

The person who changed... was me,

blinded by my obsession.

I have no more anger toward this woman,

nor any more reason for it.

I want to apologize for the hatred that was in me.

Towards Kim Su Yeon, and you.

First Lieutenant,

It�s too early to feel relief.

They said they will have to call additional witnesses.

Thank you.

If there is a God, I�m sure He won�t abandon Su Yeon.

I think we should wait to tell her about Su Hee.

Later.

Thank you, Jang Woo.

Thank you, Tae Ho.

If we stay alive and see each other again, I will thank you in person.

So please stay alive, Tae Ho.

And you too, Jang Woo.

Kim Su Yeon!

This is Sergeant Kim Su Hee�s personal effects.

Personal effects?

Whose?

In an explosion at the officer�s club, she died along with Kim Su Hyuk.

There�s so much for me to apologize to you for.

That�s okay. I already forgave you.

Good or bad, we�re sisters.

Su Hee...

If we get to Ap Rok River, will our countries will be reunited, Officer Kim?

Let�s hope for that.

Just two months ago, we put our lives on the line at Nak Dong River.

Now we crossed Dae Dong River to go to Ap Rok River.

Are all wars like this?

Why is it so cold here? It�s like it�s the middle of winter in Kyung Sang Island.

If I had the quilted pants that my Bong Soon made for me, this would be no problem.

Bong Soon!

We need to finish it up before it gets any colder.

Uh, I can�t stand the cold myself!

Let�s stay strong.

I think we can reach Chung Ho Ri before sunset.

Captain.

Yes, we should get going.

Su Yeon, it won�t be much longer.

Wait just a bit more.

Kim Su Yeon.

You have testified about the incident of June 24, 1950...

at Yeongchon Bridge in Kyung Ki Province.

Do you acknowledge it?

Do you acknowledge it?

Yes.

And do you understand how harmful that acknowledgement can be to you?

Yes.

I understand.

We will hear the testimony from the final witness. Witness, come forward.

Name and rank?

Oh Jong Ki, Master Sergeant of 1st Battalion, 2nd Company.

Were you involved in the battle with the rebels of June 24, 1950...

in Yeongchon of Kyung Ki Province, on Yeongchon Bridge?

Yes.

But that cannot be called a battle.

What do you mean by that?

The real damage was felt the next day, June 25th, after the war broke out.

Because we failed to blow up the bridge, the enemy was able to advance South.

And the number of casualties was high for that reason.

The plan to blow up Yeongchon Bridge was a secret,

but... it leaked out somehow.

Are you saying you had a mole in your unit?

Master Sergeant Oh!

That was just my excessively suspicious nature talking.

If there were people leaking out secrets,

we would have hunted them out already.

See here.

I have something to say to her for a moment.

Where were you that night, Doctor?

If it was decided to reveal everything, shouldn�t it be done completely?

I noticed during the investigation that one name was left out.

I mean Lieutenant Shin Tae Ho.

I heard...

that Lieutenant Shin was going to marry a doctor.

So you're her.

I wondered how the rebels could have found out, and sure enough...

Lieutenant Shin doesn�t know anything.

My brother was a member of the rebel group.

So it was Lieutenant Shin Tae Ho...

No matter how much I thought about it, that was the only hole I can come up with.

They say if a man falls for a woman, he can think of nothing else.

Right, Doctor?

It was all my fault. Lieutenant Shin didn�t have anything to do with it.

Calm down.

I�m not that reckless.

Plus, Lieutenant Shin is someone...

I... like.

By their prints, it seems to only be about a single platoon.

They�re probably the retreating stragglers of the North Korean army.

Why don�t you send out a small group first while the rest of the company wait here?

These aren�t supplies of the North Korean army.

If it�s not the North Korean, then...?

The Chinese army may be nearby.

The Chinese?

That�s just false rumors.

This war will be over before Christmas.

Why would men who should be on the other side of Ap Rok River be roaming here?

There�s nothing wrong with being careful.

What will be wrong for us is to fall behind here.

Did you finish the preparations to leave?

Let�s go.

I�m sure our Captain has no choice.

The higher-ups keep telling us to not delay.

Our goal tomorrow is to reach the camp located 3km south of Mun Ho Ri.

Platoon leaders, go over the basics again with your men,

and stay alert for anything unusual.

- Yes, we understand. - We understand.

I wish the Battalion Commander would hurry up.

Or if he�s going to send me to headquarters, to do it already.

But I guess it�ll look better for me to go there after having taken Ap Rok River.

Master Sergeant Oh Jong Ki reporting back for duty.

Have you healed up completely?

My life seems to be a tad more durable than steel pipes.

Although some people may not be so happy about that.

You look well, Sergeant.

This is a transfer order.

They sure took their time with it.

What to do? This isn�t intended for you.

Hey, Duk Shil!

Is that kid Heo Chan Shik still alive?

There are fragments imbedded in bones in the buttocks and cannot be taken out.

You should be discharged, but you�re requesting to go back to your company.

I don�t seem to have any say in the matter.

You can submit a transfer request any time.

As you know, you will not be able to have children.

What did you want to speak to me about?

I have some information.

Oh, you probably wouldn�t know.

Remember our plans to blow up that Yeongchon bridge?

The plans were leaked so we weren�t able to do it.

My goodness.

I don�t know how Lieutenant Shin was so careless.

He was so entranced by a girl that he never realized...

that she was a rebel for the North, and blabbed on.

You know her, don�t you? That Kim Su Yeon...

she was a doctor in Yeongchon.

Where did you hear that?

I was a witness in Kim Su Yeon�s trial.

Anyway, Lieutenant Shin is in big trouble.

Any promotion is out of question, and it may even end his military career.

He saved your life.

Did you forget that already?

Do you think I don�t know how to be grateful?

It�s just that if I keep being pushed around,

I don�t know what...

will come out of my mouth.

What are you trying to say?

Just for us to get along.

Helping each other out.

If your father used his influence and got you transferred to the rear,

you should just say, "Yes, sir", and go.

Why do you want to stay here?

At your age, you should be holding a pencil, not a gun.

Do you understand?

Why don�t you want to transfer out?

I made it all the way here. Why go to the rear now?

What?

The war�s going to be over in a few days.

I�m going to take some water from Ap Rok River back home with me.

Let's get a move on!

Did your groin freeze up?

Move quickly!

You had it easy while I was gone, right?

Let just one of you get caught by me...

You�ve gotten better looking while I was gone.

It doesn�t look like it�s completely healed.

Be careful.

If you�re unlucky, you can get hurt again.

How can I forget who was responsible for that?

I�ll keep your advice in mind.

Halt!

Take cover!

Be still.

Dear soldiers!

How much are you suffering in this cold weather?

The war is now over.

We will now sing a song for you,

a song to comfort the soldiers of the South.

Farewell, goodbye

The handkerchief soaked by tears

Only you

Loving only you

I swallow my tears as I leave

Oh, don�t cry

On the silver carriage, on the golden carriage, our flags are waving

Are these the streets of Seoul that carry our love

Go ahead and cry, silver bell

This is our new street

Looking at the In Wang Mountain, I can see how bright the moon

Milady!

Applause!

Where is your home?

I�m from Pusan.

Really? I�m from Pusan as well.

How great to see you.

What do you think this means? It�s our great fate.

Wow, to see someone from my home brings tears to my eyes.

Where in Pusan is your home?

I will sing another song for you.

Anyone here who speaks Chinese?

There�s no one in our company.

Look here.

You don�t know any Korean?

Hey, can you speak English?

I�m full.

Which unit are you from?

I�m full.

What are you saying?

Hey, don�t you know Geneva Convention?

You can�t treat prisoners of war like that.

He�s not a military advisor. I�m sure he�s a combat soldier.

Captain! Captain!

We�ll have to send him to the Battalion headquarters for POW interrogation.

He will need to be questioned.

Yes, sir.

Oh, it�s so cold.

When I saw... how my family was buried alive,

I went crazy.

Do you know what kept me going?

I thought to myself, the only thing I have left in the world is this body of mine.

So I decided to dedicate it to the army.

But look at me now.

How can I be worth anything to the army?

What do you think?

Go ahead and tell me. Tell me!

What happened in Pyeongyang was just a mistake.

There�s no point blaming people now.

There�s... no point?

Don�t worry about your future.

Once I get to the headquarters, I'll be of great help to you. Okay?

What�s good is good, don�t you think?

If I�m ever in debt,

I can�t sleep at night until I�ve paid it back.

Since you say what's good is good,

do your best.

What�s this about?

That was a close call.

I saw him from over there and while the kids were dancing and not paying attention,

he was trying to get this kid in revenge. So I shot him.

Is that true?

What the Sergeant is saying is true. I saw what happened.

Let�s end the party here. Everyone dismissed.

He shot a prisoner of war to death without an order.

Are you going to let him get away with it?

He said it was a dangerous situation.

And you believe what he says?

I�ll be the judge.

The Captain might be giving you another chance, but not me.

Wow, you�re coming on pretty tough.

Aren�t you being a little thick skinned,

for one who snuck around with a rebel for the North?

What do you mean by that?

The Captain... didn�t tell you?

He must not have.

No, there was nothing to get out of him.

Pardon? What does lack of report from other companies matter?

He was definitely a combat soldier from China. Battalion Commander!

He says it must have been a single reconnaissance agent.

Captain,

Sergeant Oh Jong Ki...

Never mind. I�ll take a few men from my platoon to scout the area.

Scout?

We�ll check for any signs in the area.

We�ll return before the sun goes down.

Eagle, Eagle, this is Magpie 1.

We�ve not seen any signs of others in the area yet.

Sergeant Lee, do they teach driving at an auto shop?

Driving?

Yes. I really want to learn how to drive.

I understand.

Sure, kid. Of course they teach you to drive.

We�ll check the open fields to the ridge of Zone 413.

Goodbye.

Please wait a little while. As soon as the war is over, I will come and look you up.

It wasn�t a coincidence, but destiny that allowed us to meet.

I am a higher ranking than you.

What�s so important about rank between a man and a woman?

As long as our hearts are as one.

- Stay strong. - Yes.

Let�s go.

Goodbye.

Please wait just a little while.

I�ll come see you soon!

I�ll see you soon!

Any communication from the scout team?

The severe weather conditions are hindering radio communication.

Contact the battalion base and ask them to use their frequency to try.

Yes, sir.

Eagle, Eagle, this is Magpie 1.

Eagle leader, this is Magpie 1.

The weather must be blocking the frequency.

Should we return?

If we try, we�ll either freeze to death or lose our way.

We�ll have to wait here until it stops.

At lease we were able to confirm that the Chinese army is not here.

Everyone get closer to each other.

We have to use our body heat to survive. Get closer!

Sergeant, get in closer.

Kid, you�re shivering more than I am.

Trade places with me.

I don�t get cold easily.

Stop thrashing around. It�s making me colder.

Why didn�t you wake me up?

I told you to wake me when it was my turn.

I�m fine.

What do you mean you�re fine? You look like you nearly froze to death.

Bok Soo, about working at the auto shop�

I don�t think that�ll work out after all.

Why not?

All that about my brother owning an auto shop, it was all lies.

I don�t believe it.

How can you do that? You�re playing with me, right?

Hey, are you crying? Right now?

I was just kidding, just kidding.

Kid, I got it. I�ll get you a job with him.

I�ll be really good to you.

Shhh.

Was there a forest there?

It�s moving.

They�re coming from over there also!

Magpie, Magpie, this is Eagle.

Answer, Magpie.

- Try again. - Yes, sir.

Eagle, Eagle! This is Magpie 1! It�s the Chinese army!

Chinese army?

They�re about at about Zone 382. They�ve moving Southeast.

They look to be about three thousand... no, at least ten thousand strong.

They�re all combat soldiers.

What do you mean ten thousand Chinese combat soldiers?

Lieutenant Shin Tae Ho has confirmed it.

Stop with that nonsense.

At 6 o�clock, start marching to Zone 382.

Zone 382 is open from all sides and it puts us at a tactical disadvantage.

It�s the Colonel�s special orders.

Secure the entire Northern area of Zone 382,

then the entire company will march to Ap Rok River.

Commander, Zone 382 is where the Chinese army is marching South.

If we go there, we�ll be like rats caught in jars. It means total annihilation!

Hey, Lee Jang Woo! Move out now!

Are we going to Zone 382?

We�ll go to Woon Ho Ri to join up with the scouting team first.

But we passed that already.

We cannot let them be separated from us. Hurry. We don�t have much time.

Weren�t there anything about a transfer for me?

What are you talking about at a time like this? Hurry up!

Why did we come all they way here, only to go back?

One moment. Let me put this on her first. One moment... one moment.

2nd Company! Run!

What? Didn�t you hear the order to retreat?

That�s not what I want to hear right now.

Beg.

Look here Sergeant Oh, are you crazy? In this situation... now...?

What�s going on here?

Where�s the rest of the company?

It happened in a split second.

Companies 1 and 3 who got there already were nearly wiped out.

And the US 1st Calvary Division also suffered two major blows.

I thought it was all over, so how can this have happened?

Captain, Sergeant Oh committed an act of mutiny.

With Lieutenant Han Young Min.

For disobeying orders, and for assaulting a superior,

Sergeant Oh Jong Ki, you are being demoted to Private.

Mutiny is not acceptable under any condition.

We will retreat back to Pyeongyang. Hurry it up!

Hurry up and get on! Hurry!

I heard the Battalion Commander has arrived.

While I�m gone, confirm the number of men left and allow them to rest.

The accounting building...

please check to see if it�s intact.

When we left Pyeongyang, I heard Kim Su Yeon will stand trial there.

Yes. Pardon?

How can they tell us to withdraw from here?

What did we go through to capture Pyeongyang and now we have to give it up?

What happened with the other units?

We�ve received an order to buy time while the allies withdraw.

You�re the only ones left.

Just yesterday, these kids were so happy about going home.

You want me to take them and go against the full enemy force?

I�m not saying you have to win. Just buy some time.

Until when?

Until our main forces have left Pyeongyang.

Does that mean until 2nd Company has been wiped out?

Does a soldier only fight in a winning battle?

Even when defeat is inevitable, you still keep fighting!

I can�t do that, sir.

Say that again? What did you say?

I would rather accept a dismissal.

Lee Jang Woo, you imbecile...

This is an order!

What is it?

I have something to say to you.

The company is about to fall apart.

Shin Tae Ho is wimping about because of a woman,

Oh Jong Ki�s mind comes and goes...

What are you talking about?

I would like to join you in retreating.

You want to abandon your platoon and retreat by yourself?

No, that�s not what I mean, exactly.

Han Young Min!

Under normal conditions, you would have been summarily dismissed.

However, these are special circumstances,

so I�ll pretend I didn�t hear what you just said.

Get back to your company!

They said the war is over, so how can this be?

The morale is very low. They�re unprepared to fight.

Park Dal Mun of 2nd Platoon, his wife is pregnant.

Heo Chan Shik of 3rd Platoon is an only son.

The company radio operator, Kim Sang Kook, has young siblings to care for.

Their reasons are too great to get back home.

To sacrifice them just to buy only a day seems too futile.

Whatever decision you make, your men will follow.

Attention!

Tell them to retreat first. I�ll be the last one to leave.

2nd Company will try to hold them back.

But I�ll stay with only volunteers.

Please permit that.

Thank you.

Lee Jang Woo.

Yes.

The orders from above are to defend, to the very last man standing.

But as you fight, if you don�t think you can make it, retreat.

Those are my personal instructions to you.

We�ll do our best to hold them back.

Return when you see the opportunity. Just put on a good show.

I�ll have transportation ready on the outskirts for use to retreat.

Those people are leaving again.

They�re our people.

We�ll fight every second we can.

Jang Woo...

Be sure to return alive.

Battalion Commander...

Please help us.

I can�t make any promises.

This will be a battle to withstand as long as we can.

Until I give the order to retreat, fight on.

Whoever stays alive until then,

return to our rendezvous point and we�ll leave by truck.

Any questions?

Anyone... who wishes to leave,

may do so now.

I will leave the decision to you. Only volunteers will remain.

I can really leave?

Didn�t you hear?

Whoever is leaving, leave. The rest of you, get ready for battle.

What should we do?

What do you mean we? I�m staying, so you go to your wife.

We might have to retreat back to Han River, maybe even Nakdong River.

When a solder returns home, he should return to a hero�s welcome.

I�m not going back as a deserter.

We can�t go into battle without heavy artillery. You, go home.

The thread follows where the needle goes.

Hurry up and leave.

Sergeant Kwon.

Hurry.

In Je, you go.

You stay alive, and...

Why aren�t you leaving?

Damn it. If he told us to stay and fight, I would have run.

If you get hurt, who�s going to patch you up?

You need a quack doctor like me around.

About a third of the men didn�t leave and are staying.

Why are there so many idiots?

Lieutenant Shin, leave.

I must be taking after you more and more.

I�ll look for the spot to position our defense line.

Why aren�t we leaving?

I don�t know...

Don�t worry. We�ll be leaving for somewhere.

Let�s go. Get down.

Get down quickly.

Kim Su Yeon!

Over here.

Get down quickly!

I said hurry up.

Get down!

Get down!

Why are you moving so slowly?

Kim Su Yeon?

Yes.

You won�t be going with those people.

I�ll go by myself?

Captain Lee Jang Woo is your fianc�.

Lee Jang Woo stayed behind in Pyeongyang.

He received orders to fight to the end.

Jang Woo did?

Letting you live is my atonement to Lee Jang Woo.

Run away. Run as hard as you can, and stay alive.

That is to help Lee Jang Woo.

Su Yeon is alive. She won�t die like that.

Look. She�s perfectly fine.

Everyone is anxious because of the Captain.

Don�t talk nonsense. There�s nothing wrong with the Captain.

Which unit are you a part of?

Look here! Where are you coming from?

Where are you going? That�s North...

I�m going to see Su Yeon.

Kim Su Yeon is dead. She�s dead!

They trusted you and followed you here. You�re going to abandon them?

It seems that way.

Han Young Min, you really are the last one?

It was a brutal battle. I barely made my escape.

Destroy them all!

Kim Su Yeon.

Jang Woo.

Su Yeon.

No!
