"Who says we're going to die?" "They haven't given us food or water in days." "We'll die an honorable death." "too!" "What's the honor in starving to death?" " Shut up!" " You'd go to them for a piece of bread." "It's better than starving to death." "Go join the commies." "I'll kill you before you get there."

"Why do you volunteer... for every single risky mission?" "For a medal... to send me home?" "What the hell are you doing?" "You think you're bulletproof?" "I see someone killed!" "Are you mad?" "Suppose you get the medal!" "You think I'd be happy to go home with you dead?" "How could I face Mom and Young-shin?" "You're still young and ill." "But I'm a soldier now." "Don't ask them to sit me out again." "You and I should be together." "We live and die together." "I won't forgive you." "listen to me carefully:" "No one knows who's going to die next." "I will stay behind." " Please understand me." " No way!" "You want me to watch you die?" "I won't die until I get you back home safely." " Let's go." " Jin-tae!"

"Seoul" " September 1950 could you look at the camera?" "Why did two brothers join the army?" "I had no other choice but to volunteer along with my brother... in order to protect our country from danger." "We heard you did a great job at Nakdong River." "Any other motivation for fighting so bravely?" "My only motivation as a soldier... is to fight to prevent my family from suffering... under the oppression of the communists!" "I'm going to send a letter home." "Tell me what you want to write." "We have to send it with a local." "Do I have to do it now?" "I'll do it later." "I have to attend the reception." "We have to hurry and ask someone in the crowd." "sir!" "You write something for me." "See you later." "Give me some eggs!" "Behave yourself!" "an egg!" "Is there anyone from Manridong?" "Who lives in Manridong?" "I don't remember the last time I ate like this!" "Nothing but vegetables." "Where's my egg?" "Is Jin-tae really going to be on TV?" "Didn't you see Private Lee... with the American officers and the cameras flashing?" "as of today." "And he's squad leader of the 1st." "too." ""For the families oppressed by the Reds..." "A hero is born." "You envy him?" "Then kill the communists!" "He sure does have a face for TV." "What do you know about faces?" "round eyes only catches more dust." "He's nothing compared to this." "what a knockout!" "How did you get a wife like this?" "not my wife." "I saw you looking at her breasts!" "My son'll be a general like MacArthur someday." " MacArthur!" " When'll this damn war be over?" "I thought it'd last only a couple of weeks." "don't you?" "right." "isn't it?" "I bet she's still looking for you two." "Everyone gets one each!" " Congratulations." " Thank you." "Jin-seok!" "You know what this is?" "This is the chocolate you always wanted." "Just tell me if you want more." "They will give me more anytime I ask them." "Anytime!" "I drank a little." "Don't worry." "You'll be home soon." "It's only a matter of days before I put this flag on Mt." "Baekdu." "You should be sleeping." "it will get rough." "but I'm not sure." "They're probably not back in Seoul." "It's getting cold at night." "You should go inside." "You felt like a stranger today." "It made me worry about things." "Well..." "Too many thoughts." "There's one thing I want you to do." "Please forget about the medal." "It's not worth it." "You're the only brother I have... and we have to go back alive." "I was so scared when Dad died... and Mom couldn't speak anymore." "But you helped me get through it all." "The day after tomorrow... you were supposed to marry Young-shin." "I hope you're always thinking about Young-shin... and all our family." "North Korea" " October 1950" "3rd Platoon forward!" "The leader has not escaped yet." "2nd Squad!"

"I won't let you go!" "Yong-man!" "come on!" "Get up!" "He is the captain!" "I got him!" "hang on!" " Come on!" "Attention!" "Salute." "We'll continue over to Aprok River near the Chinese border." "I hope every one of you gets there safe and alive." "Let's go." "What's wrong?" "That medal..." "Who is it really for?" "don't you?" "interviews... right?" "Keep this in mind:" "just like us... and bear a grudge against us forever." "Stop it." "he wouldn't be dead!" "Do you know why he died?" "Do you know what you were doing while he was dying?" "What good is the medal when people are dying?" "Not another word." "What the..." "This is Seagull One." "The communists slaughtered over 100 villagers during their retreat." "Roger."

"I was forced to join the North Korean army or be killed." "don't cry." "Drink this." "Should I report?" "Jin-tae!" "Report that all the enemies were killed in battle." " What are you saying?" " They're excess baggage." "This is Yong-seok!" "He was like your own brother!" "All I see now is a communist." "your friend!" "No friend of mine slaughters our people." "Step aside!" "We're not communists." "He was forced to come here!" "You step back!" "Did you kill them?" "we didn't!" "Really!" "He says he didn't!" " I don't believe a commie." " They are animals!" "Please don't kill me!" "Get your hands off!" "Kneel down!" " You dirty pig!" " Don't kill me." "and I'll report that you killed unarmed soldiers." "You're no different from the commies!" "You are all crazy!" "They're hostages!" "You saw what they did!" "They're animals!" "too." "It was them who started the war!" "no worse!" "kill them." "Shoot." "What are you waiting for?" "Shoot!" "Today's your lucky day!" "North Korea" " November 1950" "Yong-seok." "Jin-seok!" "Take it." "Boys!" "Have some." "Are you okay?" "I feel fine." "Take your time." "I filed a report about you with the regimental office." "Thanks a lot." "Jin-tae is a totally different person." "He's so changed." "I met your mom and Young-shin." "Really?" "How are they?" "When did they come back home?" "Just after you were drafted." "She wanted to be home in case you came back." "She asked people about you." "she cried." "I reminded her of you two." "And the noodle stand?" "Actually... she isn't well." "What's wrong?" "Is she very ill?" "I don't know exactly... but she couldn't move well." "Young-shin was having a hard time..." "looking after everyone." "The commies wouldn't let her run the stand." "She attends rallies all day long." "It's the only way to get food." "though." "Things may be getting better." "I miss the noodles your mom cooks." "The loser doesn't eat for two days!" "Bastards!" "Do it right!" "Kill him!" "Kill him!" "bastards!" "Two days aren't bad enough?" "You want five?" "You ain't hungry?" "You see now?" "Think of him as a South Korean pig." "Fight until one gets knocked out." "I'll kill both of you." "You got it?" "Who's going to be the damn South Korean?" "You do it!" "You don't need to." "You don't have to." "It's you and me now." " What the hell are you doing?" " Isn't this a game?" "or you'll die of starvation." "Stop it!" "son of a bitch!" "that's the way." "We're not done yet!" "We fight until one of us can't get up!" " You're killing him." " Let go!" "too!" "or you'll starve to death!" "or you're dead." "Do you want to die?" "you pig!" "you pig!" "Many of our brave soldiers sacrificed their lives for their country." "And the long-awaited victory is very close." " Just stay still!" " It hurts!" "Stay still!" "It's supposed to hurt." "When the hell can we go home?" "And General MacArthur has ordered U.N. Forces to advance to the North." "The victory is ours." "Victory!" "We kicked their asses!" "It looks like the war may be over soon." "I wouldn't be so sure." "I heard the Chinese will back the North." "That's just commie propaganda." "what do you think?"

"I'm not going home." "You'll do what I say." " I don't want anything from you." " Listen to me." "What's wrong with you?" "I worked my ass off for that medal!" "This is a great chance for us!" "not for me." "Have you thought about what the medal means?" "I don't care." "I needed one to send you home." "That medal cost Yong-man his life!" "I won't go." " You have to go to college!" " What good is college now?" "I hate you and everything you stand for." " Don't tell me what to do." " Do you really mean that?" "I will make my own decisions." "Don't tell me what to do."

"How many Chinese reinforcements are coming?" "000." "sir." "they're getting close." "what are you doing?" "What the hell?" "Everything was going so well." "We'll never get home before New Year!" "We're just going to leave?" "How stupid!" "Shouldn't we die here?" "This is wrong!" "We should be fighting." "Stop bitching and hurry up!" "but look at this!" "Get the jeep ready!" "How far are we going to carry them?" "Don't move!" "Get him!" " Sergeant Huh!" " I'm all right." "Retreat." "Medic!" "Sergeant Huh!" "Bastards!" "Where's my arm?" " Stay back!" " Put the dagger away!" "I'll kill him!" "Kill them all!" "Don't come any closer." "just kill them!" "Step away." "this bastard is dead!" "No!" "come on!" "Are you crazy?" "How could you?" "How could you kill Yong-seok?" "You're crazy!" "You're mad!" "Stop this!" "Bring him back!" "You're a murderer!" "What the hell are you doing?" "You two knock it off!" "We've got to get out of here!" "How come we're retreating without fighting?" "near the 38th parallel December 1950" "Staff Sergeant Lee Jin-tae." "You're awarded the Medal of Honor for your actions in Pyongyang... your remarkable bravery and actions at many battles... and for going beyond the call of duty." "1950." "President Rhee Syngman." "Staff Sergeant Lee Jin-tae!" "you've finally made it!" "Thank you." "This should have been a formal occasion." "Sorry." "proceed to the third rendezvous site." "3rd and 4th Battalions to the fifth rendezvous point." "Be at your locations by 1800 hours tomorrow." "All forces will be reorganized there." "Dismissed." "See you at the next site." "may I have a word with you?" " Go ahead." "it's about my younger brother." "I'll make the official request with the division commander." "sir." "I'm afraid we'll be pushed down to Seoul." "across Nakdong." "You know where Jin-seok is?" "He left a minute ago." " By himself?" " Yeah." "He said he was going to see your mom." "She is sick." "Mom!" "Jin-seok!" "Young-shin!" "Thank God." "is it?" "I'm on my way to reassemble." "I ran into Yong-seok." "He said Mom is sick." "She's feeling much better now." "She's back at work." "How is Jin-tae?" "Why didn't he come?" "He's fine." "He's really busy right now." "That's good." "Mother is so worried." "Are you Kim Young-shin?" "I am." "Why?" "Come with me." "You're under investigation." "For what?" " What?" " Who the hell are you?" " Tell me what this is about." " Step away!" "Stop!" "if you dare." "Put her on." "too!" "Check if he's a communist." "go home!" "Don't follow me!" "Get off!" "What is this place?" "It's where we investigate commies like Young-shin!" "You're making a mistake." "We'll see about that." "Get in there!" "Kim Young-shin." "Get up!" "Aim!" "Don't even think about it." "Let's not hurt each other." "Young-shin." "Jin-tae..." "Where is Jin-seok?" "He was taken into the front building." "What's going on?" "They just said I was under investigation and took me here." "We're executing traitors according to the law." "I don't care what you're doing." "I'm taking her." "too!" " I don't think so!" "signed up for the Communist Party on June 23." "We have her signature!" "I did it only for food." "I didn't know what it was!" "She worked for the Communist Party 35 times... and participated in numerous communist rallies!" "We were starving." "I have to get food somehow!" "The South Korean government gave us nothing!" "Shut up." "You step away." "too." "you're all dead!" "This is the last warning." "Step aside." "Don't move... or you won't walk out of here in one piece." "Do you know what you are doing?" "I'm stopping you from killing innocent people." "Get her out of here!" "You want to save a whore?" "She was with every single North Korean officer!" "or I'll blow it off!" "That's why she isn't fleeing." "That's not true." "There's no use in denying it." "that's a lie." " Go now!" "too." "believe me." "Get the hell out of here!" "Young-shin!" "hold on!" "You still have the handkerchief." "You don't know how much I missed you... how long I waited for you." "I didn't do anything shameful." "Believe me." "Young-shin!" "I can't die now." "How can I die now?" "My young siblings..." "Why did you question her?" "You're the one who killed her." "You killed Young-shin." "You're responsible." "you murderer..." "You shot members of the Anti-Communist Federation?" "The Medal of Honor doesn't give you the right to shoot anyone." "How can we fight this war with screwups like you?" "Are you able to contact headquarters or not?" "sir." "How can we hold out for 72 hours with these losers?" "Send my brother home!" "My former commander promised to." "What kind of bullshit is this?" "You earn a damn medal and your brother is discharged?" "You only have to report it." "I don't believe this!" "I don't give a shit what he promised you!" "You think this is a business deal or something?" "He made the offer." "How dare you talk back?" "Think of what you've done!" "Lock him up!" "How could they give someone like him a medal?" "Urgent message from 1st Company!" "Put him in the cell!" "I don't give a shit about the order." "Just retreat!" "retreat!" "Goddamn!" "Open the cell." "You're crazy!" "Give the order." "Those commies will kill you first." "I only want my brother out." "Not until we finish examining your heads first." "Give the order." "Now!" "One more thing." "The hostages..." "Burn them!" " Change the order!" " Put the gun away." "change the order!" " This is an order." "Remove the gun." "Change the order!" "Order to burn the hostage cells confirmed!" "South Korea July 1951" "Jin-seok!" "You look well." "Thanks." "You saved my life." "I thought I was dead in that cell." "when you got shot as we were coming out." "Someone up there likes you." " When do you get out of here?" " Next week." "How nice to be discharged." "I bet your mom needs your help." "This damn war should be over." "The battle around the 38th parallel is still bloody." "So many lives are lost every day... fighting over more land." "I bought them on my way." "Thank you again." "And your brother sent this letter home... but it was returned to the camp." "You keep this." "but..." "I don't want to know." "I don't care." "PFC Lee Jin-seok!" "You're wanted in the counseling room." "Thank you." "Our decorated hero... turned into a communist." "It's a serious problem for us and a good propaganda tool for them." "we didn't believe it." "But his fiancée was executed as a communist." "That must have affected him." "He doesn't know what communism or democracy is." "Then how come he turned into a communist?" "He wouldn't have done this if he had thought of his family." "I suppose there must be a reason." "are a suspect unless you give us a good explanation." "I don't care about Jin-tae anymore." "The Jin-tae I knew was just an innocent shoeshine boy... especially his brother." "The decorated man leading Flag Unit... is not my brother." "too." "Did you have lunch?" "How can you eat right now?" "I can't believe it." "How could Jin-tae become a communist?" "He was probably devastated... after seeing his fiancée shot to death." "He must have thought you were killed in the fire." "He loved you so much." "I don't care about him." "His only concerns are for medals and promotions." "Maybe the commies offered him a better post." "I don't even care if he dies." "Don't speak to me about him ever again." "Do you understand?" "I miss you every day." "Please be well until we return home." "And don't worry about Jin-seok." "I will definitely keep him safe." "Please say hello to Young-shin." "And tell her not to worry." "When I get discharged and return home..." "I'll open a shoe store and make you proud of me." "Mom." "please stay healthy." "All these patients came from the battle near the 38th parallel." "You are crazy to go back there." "How can you be sure that you'll even find him?" "You'll be discharged in a week." "Think about your mom!" "listen to me." "See you soon." "Think of Young-shin's brother and sisters." "Jin-seok!" "Private Lee!" "you bastard." "diverting the enemy." "Once the artillery attack ends... 1st and 2nd Battalion will flank the hills from both directions." "We have to take out Flag Unit... at all costs." "Don't forget we've modified our operation plan." "Any questions?" "When will PFC Lee join the mission?" "His mission has been canceled." "there's no time." "we'll have him speak over the microphone." " Sir." " What is it?" "Lee Jin-tae's brother." "It's an honor to meet the brother of the traitor." "he won't believe me." "Please let me join the mission." "We start the attack in an hour." "There's not enough time." "he'll come back for sure." "Out of the question!" "please." "Answer me one question:" "Is this for your country or your brother?" "Just read the script over the speaker." "Forty minutes to go!" "sir!" "F- 86 Sabres are standing by." "Artillery units are standing by." " Where is the script?" " It hasn't been delivered yet." "Wait a moment." "grenades and extra ammunition!" "PFC Lee is running towards the enemy." "What's going on?" " He just surrendered." " What?" "Surrendered?" "you're dead." "Why are you here?" "the leader of Flag Unit." " What?" " Please let me see him." "I'll kill you if you're lying." "Check it out!" "A yellow dog is here saying he's the brother of Mother Owl." "Confirm." "Let me talk to him!" "He doesn't know I'm alive!" "Shut up!" "Negative." "He says his brother is dead." "Jin-seok!" "You're a damn spy." "What's your mission?" "Spit it out before I blow your head off." "Let me talk to him." "He'll know it's me!" "Stop screwing with me!" " I'm begging you!" " What are you here for?" " Please let me talk to him!" " Speak up!" "I'm begging you." "we've got an order to bring him to the security unit." "Get him out of here!" "it has been several months since the attack began." "Our military is still overpowering the South." "The total death toll..." " How far away is Flag Unit?" " Ask the security unit!" "The growing numbers of informants will only result in more innocent deaths." "Incoming!" "Air attack!" "Air attack!" "let's go." " You're goddamn crazy!" "Where is Flag Unit?" "Attack!" "Attack!" "Where the hell are you going?" "He's a dog from the South!" "It's Flag Unit!" "It's Flag Unit!" "It's Flag Unit!" "It's Flag Unit!" "Jin-tae." "die!" "It's Jin-seok." "It's Jin-seok!" "Snap out of it!" " I'll kill you all!" " Jin-tae." "please." "Please." "Jin-tae!" "You Southern piece of shit." "You piece of shit!" "please." "Come to your senses!" "your only brother." " I'm your brother!" " I'll kill all you bastards!" "Retreat!" "Retreat!" "Retreat!" "get up." "Get up." "We have to go." "We have to go now!" "Let's go." "We have no time!" "Get up." "We have to go." "We have to get out of here." "get up!" "Don't you want to go home and see Mom?" "You have to visit Young-shin's grave." "What about the shoe store and making Mom proud?" "You can't die here!" "You worked your ass off just so I could go to school." "You have to live to see me go to college." "Come on!" " Jin-seok?" " Jin-tae." "You're really alive?" "Go!" "I won't go alone." "Just go." "No way!" "Get up and come with me!" "I will surrender and come home after the war." "I've been making your shoes for college." "go!" " I won't!" " I'm okay." "Do as I tell you." "Go!" " I won't go without you!" " Then we'll both die!" " No!" " Listen to me!" "Look at me." "Trust me." "I found this after the fire." "Give it to me... when you see me again." "You have to come back." "You have to come back." "You promised... to come back and finish the shoes." "But what are you doing here?" "I've waited for so long." "What happened to your promise?" "Say something!" "I've been waiting to see you for 50 years." "Please say something." "I shouldn't have left you alone back then." "Jin-tae." "Jin-tae!" "Jin-seok!" "Jin-seok!" "Let's go get some water." "How have you been?" "You all got so big." "you know." "Really?" "too." "How about you?" "Of course I do."
