Just give the order! Like a Captain.

Good. PARK Mootaek!

Yes, Captain?

Let's ascend!

Yes, Captain!

Damn, I'm gonna die.

- Hey, Mootaek!

- Yes?

This doesn't look right.

What?

We climbed the wrong peak.

And I wanted to just go down!

There are only a few peaks,

and you mixed them up?

What are we gonna do now?

Huh?

I can't believe you!

I don't think we can retrieve the bodies.

Base Camp, Base Camp!

This is the summit team.

There's nowhere left to climb.

The summit!

Thank God!

"19-May-00

KANGCHENJUNGA SUMMIT, 8586m"

Great job, Mootaek.

I love you, brother!

Smile for the camera.

One, two, three!

Hold onto it tight!

Grab it this time, you jerk!

Smile!

"2000, K2 8611m First Asian to climb 14 peaks"

Captain!

Wave to us!

Here we're 2800...no...

8021m above sea level!

Shishapangma Summit!

"2001, SHISHAPANGMA 8021 m"

Can you see, Su-young?

"2002, EVEREST 8848M"

"2004, DAEGU"

Let's go...

Stay together.

The Himalayan peaks have

1/3 as much oxygen as usual.

So this is how it'll be up there.

Yes!

- Are you exhausted?

- No!

I'm going to conquer the Himalayan peaks!

Scurrying up then rushing back down.

- Is that conquering?

- No way...

We just spend time on the peak

with the mountain's permission.

- Got it?

- Understood!

Use your legs, Jae-hun.

I said use your legs!

Yes, sir!

Hey, you're starting to resemble someone.

Who?

Who could it be?

Well, um...

Um...

Use your legs!

People compare life

to the climbing of a mountain.

After climbing so many,

if you've gained any insight,

can you share it with us?

- Insight?

- Yes.

While climbing, you think

you'll discover something great.

From 7000 meters,

it seems like you'll learn

how to live your life.

If you go up to 8000m,

it seems like you'll discover

the meaning of life.

But up there, you'll never

discover such things.

The only thing you can feel

up there is yourself.

When you're so exhausted and desperate,

the real you emerges.

All the masks you've been using fall away.

Most people never get to know

their own unmasked face.

Good bye.

The leg we screwed together

after that fall six years ago

is 5 cm shorter.

From now on,

you'll have to walk

on the front part of your foot.

You'll need to wear special shoes.

Captain, you'll have to give up the mountains.

At least eat something.

If you keep pushing it,

you could hurt your spine

and end up in a wheelchair.

Does that happen so easily?

They don't know for sure.

What more do you have to do?

It's time to let go.

You've climbed to your heart's content.

A mountaineer belongs on a mountain!

Your role as father and husband.

Think of that as a mountain to climb.

How long must we wait?

Look at the kids growing!

Before this precious time passes,

let's go to the zoo.

Let's go to the amusement park.

That should take care of the documents.

You can start lecturing next month.

- You'll give Captain an office?

- Of course.

You're an adjunct for now,

but a full professor next year.

An endowed professorship.

That smells good.

Why does everyone look so depressed?

We're here to send a successful mountaineer

on a new journey!

Hey, it's your time now.

If I were you, I'd be dancing.

Come have a drink.

Mootaek, Jung-bok, come here.

Let's drink.

Namaste!

Namaste!

Tastes good. Nice wind, too.

So you're going to Everest

with your schoolmates?

They want me to be Captain. I'm nervous.

How many peaks did you climb,

dealing with my temper?

Who in Korea is more qualified than you?

It's heaven and earth.

Brother, don't you regret

giving up the 16 peaks?

I've done enough, and with my leg...

I'll be your leg.

Push from behind, pull from the front.

Or I'll carry you, if necessary.

You promised me. First in the world, together!

I know, I'm really sorry

for not keeping my promise.

But I'm exhausted. It's time for me

to come down.

I really loved following behind you.

The thought of going alone...

Here.

He came with me up those 14 peaks.

Think of him as me.

Why are you giving this to me?

You need to take this up the 16 peaks.

Mootaek.

It's your time now.

Okay, all right.

Then I'll borrow it this once.

In return,

give it some more thought.

Okay-

Have a good trip. Let's talk when you get back.

Oh, my.

PARK Moo-taek!

Your head, shoulders, knees,

and feet, whose are they?

Yours.

Right, mine.

How can you take them all?

I'll use them well, and return them.

- Be careful.

- Okay.

Excuse me, what movie are you shooting?

Cut, out!

See ya.

I'll be back soon!

"2004, EVEREST BASE CAMP"

Mootaek, that wind is really strong.

Go to sleep.

Need to sleep to move forward.

Okay-

- Hello.

- Can I take a photo?

Sure.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

Hello, this is such an honor. Can I?

Three members of the expedition are missing.

A trip for Daemyung University's

50th anniversary,

team leader PARK Mootaek,

PARK Jung-bok and JEONG Jae-hun

were hit by a sudden storm

during their descent from Everest's peak.

It's been 25 hours

since their last communication.

Captain, there's no body at the funeral.

Su-young.

I wish you hadn't retired.

If so, then Mootaek...

wouldn't have been Captain of another team.

Su-young.

Who's he to be Captain?

I'm the only one who survived.

I can't call myself a mountaineer.

I'm not sh*t...Dammit!

I'm sorry, Mootaek!

You bastard!

Hey. Mu-young!

How could you?

I was scared.

Who would go out in that weather?

You bastard!

Hey, let go. Let's talk this out.

Captain, this is Mootaek.

A few days later I climbed towards them.

I could see him there...

From far off...

Hey, Jae-hun! Stay alert, and follow me!

Got it.

Jae-hun, are you okay?

Yes.

Is there a hold near you? Can you reach it?

I don't think so.

We'll both die this way.

Mootaek, cut the rope.

Punk, getting all scared.

Why's that bag so heavy?

Jae-hun, I'll swing you, so try to grab on.

Okay!

Hong-gil...

Brother...

That's it!

Climb up!

Okay!

Mootaek, do you hear me? Where are you?

Near the Second Step.

The thing is, I can't see very well.

My goggles fell off.

I've got snow blindness.

Snow blindness?

Can you grab on to Jae-hun and come down?

He's almost exhausted...

I'll think of something.

Hey, Jae-hun.

You go down first.

What are you talking about?

I won't leave you here.

This cliff is hard even for a rested person.

You can barely move your body,

how will you support someone who can't see?

I'll carry you if I have to.

That's an order.

Mootaek!

Jerk, are you gonna disobey your Captain?

Hey, Jae-hun.

Jae-hun!

That's an order.

You must live.

Yes, Captain.

Please wait until the rescue team arrives.

Where's the rescue team?

It's been 4 hours, it's dark now!

I'll go myself, find Jae-hun,

and bring Mootaek back.

Don't think of it!

If you act rashly, we'll have another accident!

Then what do I do?

Send the rescue team, quick!

Mootaek's going to die!

I've evacuated the crew from from Camp 3.

Sending a rescue squad in this weather is
