Republic of Korea!

Republic of Korea!

"In front of Seoul City Hall."

"Han River Park"

"1150 hours, June 29, 2002

Yeonpyeong Island, South Korea."

We wanted everyone to return home alive.

It was a desperate battle for survival.

We screamed,

and fought alone.

Saturday, June 29, 2002,

Date of the consolation

match against Turkey.

"Military Hospital."

Charge!

Shock!

Clear!

Shock!

They can't hear you! Let's go!

So humid...

Duffel bag.

That's gotta hurt.

Something's funny?

My bunk?

Pretty big room for such a small vessel.

Your previous bunk wasn't this big?

Not at all.

It's the Commander's. Ours is there.

You bastard.

This is CPO Hwang.

Salute!

Who?

A new transfer.

- Nice to meet you.

- Yes, sir.

- Good bye!

- Yup.

So cute.

Great atmosphere, eh?

Very family-friendly, it feels really nice.

Let's continue.

This is our home.

We eat, sh*t, wash and sleep here.

Nice and tight, no need for extra space.

Since we're so busy, you'll

pass out immediately.

This is the bathroom...

What're you doing?

Salute!

So freaking nasty!

Sorry! I was too busy and missed Iunch...

Eat with pride! Dumbass!

Finish up.

Must he eat in the shitter?

By the way, where's the sickbay?

Sickbay?

Give me a sec.

When you hold this med kit,

that space transforms into the sickbay.

Everything's there, so don't worry.

Check if anything's missing.

- Afterneon, sir.

- Medic?

Petty officer 2nd Class, Park Dong-hyuk.

- Park Dong-hyuk, you say?

- Yes, that's right.

A golden parachute into a medic assignment?

No, sir.

No? Want me to believe that?

Expect me to believe that?

I'm sorry.

Sorry about what? Give me your duffel bag.

Yes, sir.

Sir, what's with you today?

F*** off.

- On the double.

- Here, sir.

I thought you were the

new Commander, a**hole.

Got a lover?

"My dear son, are you well?"

Buddy boy.

PO2, Park Dong-hyuk!

You watch it.

Yes, sir.

What the hell?

No exemptions for emergency drill.

His wife is in the hospital...

The war doesn't get postponed

over a wife's illness.

Absentees will be noted on annual review.

Good work.

At ease.

My youth is the wave.

I live with the wave.

The wavy wave is the way of the man.

Friend, friend, friend a seagull,

power, power, power through the wave...

Getting promoted to Senior CPO soon?

That's correct, sir.

Don't think that I'll go easy on you.

I don't ask for Ieniency.

Dismissed.

You'll be penalized as per regulations.

Don't bring personal affairs here.

I understand, sir. Salute!

"Navy Fleet 2 Operating Base,

Pyeongtaek, South Korea."

This is footage of the

1999 Yellow Sea skirmish.

As you See, when they cross the NLL,

play the warning recording

and block their path.

This is their submerged patrol boat,

T-34 tank turret is installed on the front.

We're all edgy during the World Cup period,

but we mustn't engage first,

no matter the circumstance.

Understand?

Yes, sir!

Yes?

We'll resort to blocking

when they enter our waters,

but such maneuvers expose

us to a possible ambush.

To minimize our vulnerability,

we should fire warning shots,

and immediately suppress their provocation.

You're not wrong,

but we cannot change the

rules of engagement.

But...

Soldiers must strictly follow our orders.

- Understand?

- Yes, sir!

What'll happen if there's

a clash during the games?

Who'll take the heat?

That's why we must have a plan to fall on.

Remember the jet that exploded

during '88 Olympics?

Come on!

Then what, should we just change it?

Should we?

Sir.

He's trying to do good

since he's got a new vessel.

I know, that's fine.

But don't pull that sh*t

at a delicate period.

Salute!

Are you nuts?!

You can't just barge in and stir things up.

Your promotion's at risk!

Think about your father.

Why're you bringing him up?

It's because I respect him!

Commander on deck!

- Salute!

- Salute!

Commander is relieved.

Good Iuck.

Lower the flag!

Lower the flag!

Set sail!

Men on deck, at ease.

You've got a lot of catching up to do!

If I..

- A ton!

- So salty...

That's the forward base.

And...

that's North Korea.

Do you see?

What?

- The artillery barrage.

- Huh?

They installed so many.

A single shot will sink us immediately.

Don't be so tense, ease up!

Like hell!

Therefore, we must keep moving,

so they can't aim.

"Yellow Sea Patrol Forward Base."

Yo, First Aid!

Come here, come.

Sir?

- On the double, a**hole.

- Yes, sir.

Here.

Heard of blue crab noodles?

It's our vessel's specialty.

What did you do before?

I was a dentistry major.

What did you do?

They make fake teeth.

I see.

CPR per minute.

Sir?

Pop quiz, a**hole.

100/120

- Pump depth?

- 5 to 6cm.

Well, not bad.

Sir, did you Iearn that?

It's second nature for us sailors.

Yo, First Aid.

Meds don't save people,

people save people. Got it?

- I understand.

- So poetic.

Chief petty officer!
