- When you go to Pyongyang...

- No!

I should have guessed earlier,

but I thought, "No way. "

Our mission is

to kill a commie,

who would have thought

we'd have a commie among us?

That's not true.

Or on the other hand,

this commie...

I'm not a communist!

Really? You're not communist?

Of course you are!

Someone who abandons

his wife and brat

and goes up North is

a commie to the bone.

If a kid raised

by that bastard isn't

a commie, then who is?

I know you're a commie

just by looking in your eyes.

For 3 years I've been

through hell because of you.

In my final year,

I keep getting beaten

for your crazy glare!

I'm not a commie!

You're a commie, a**hole.

Yeah!

If he weren't a commie,

he couldn't leave

his wife and brat,

knowing how they

would end up living here.

I'll find that bastard,

put a bullet in his skull,

and see what commie

blood looks like.

Until then, I can't die and

I can't back off. Understand?

Vicious bastard.

That's why I can't even die.

He should have killed

me before leaving.

I'll take the head of

his beloved Dear Leader

and thrust it in his face.

That's why I gotta go.

Got it?

You goddamned fool...

You goddamned fool...

Forgive me!

Bastard doesn't know fear!

If you overlook this,

I'll do whatever you ask.

I can't let it fall apart now.

Please, save me!

The captain told me

about your past and said,

even if everyone else gives up,

you'll remain to the end.

As long as my mother's alive,

I can't be free of this.

Ever since he left, she

hasn't slept comfortably once.

She doesn't heat the room.

I was in middle school,

so it's been over ten years,

she'll probably

sleep that way tonight.

Curled up like a bug.

She says a parent who failed

her son can't lie comfortably.

If you succeed, they'll free

you of your father's crimes?

Yes.

The drill captain said that?

Yes.

Okay.

I'll say I beat you,

and then I fell over

and hit a rock.

You asked us to send

unit 684 to Viet Nam?

Send them anywhere

in the world

and they will excel.

They'll be a great help to our

troops in the Vietnam War.

As soon as those

boys leave Silmido,

the world will know

of our plans

to kill Kim Il-sung.

For 30 men,

do we sacrifice 30 million

citizens' hopes for peace?

I will ensure that everything

concerning Silmido remains secret.

The surest way to keep

secrets is to bury them.

But we promised them...

Isn't it a soldier's highest

moral duty to be obedient?

The order given to you is to

completely erase unit 684.

Where was this order given?

It is the nation's order.

Is central intelligence

the nation?

Those with authority make

decisions and pass down orders.

Those are the nation's orders.

Now the Republic is ordering

that unit 684 be terminated.

Chief, are you all right?

Lead out our guest.

How can I kill them

with my own hands?

Sergeant Jo, Sergeant Park,

Staff Sergeants Ko and Han,

and 35. young soldiers...

do you wish

to sacrifice them?

- What do you mean?

- I'll give you a week.

After one week, we will

storm unit 684 ourselves.

Everyone will be shot,

you and the soldiers included.

Look at those idiots.

Did they let in another goal?

Winning here doesn't get you

anything, why bother?

But they run well for

people with no food.

There's no beating these days,

so they've got extra energy.

It's so quiet,

aren't you nervous?

You feel uneasy if they don't

beat you? Want me to do it?

What the hell?

You think we're friends now?

Hey, are they

printed in America?

- What?

- I know it all, you bastard.

I thought I'd tell

Sergeant Dick

and watch you get killed,

but then they'd probably rip

it up, so I controlled myself.

Let's look at it together.

What are you talking about?

This bastard's reading the

classics alone each night.

Are they white girls

or black girls?

- Really?

- No.

Come on!

I'm telling you the truth!

Sang-pil, are you sure?

They didn't let us

bring anything here.

Anything's possible.

In jail,

I saw a guy who lived

with 20 cigarettes up his ass.

Want to see?

Why didn't you say earlier?

What's this?

That girl isn't black or white.

- That's yutdong. Pink color.

- Yutdong?

The name of the clothes.

My mom had one just the same.

When I entered middle school,

she made one and wore it.

The word yutdong was so funny,

we made jokes about it.

My brother and I kept laughing...

Hand it over

Come on, hand it over!

It's the last

photo of my mother.

I won't take it out again.

Hurry up, a**hole!

Stop it.

Give it!

It's his mother's photo.

Unit 684 needs only

orders and obedience.

His mother?

Who needs sh*t like that?

What's with you? You have a

photo of your mother too.

They have to

go to Pyongyang.

If one of them

gets distracted,

our 3 years

work will unravel.

Especially him,

thinking the captain

will protect him...

What's going on?

Loyalty!

I'm disciplining team 3 captain

for carrying personal items.

It's his mother's photo.

He'll hand it over.

Come on, man.

No!

- In-chan!

- No!

Control yourself!

Captain!

If you shoot me, you can

go see your mother in person.

First, I'll go to Pyongyang.

KANG In-chan!

24 hours solitary confinement.

Loyalty!

At ease.

Do you regret it?

Taking my offer,

three years ago.

No, sir.

A lot of time you spent here

must've been worse than death.

I'm paying a price to get

what I want, so no regrets.

- Bring some water.

- Yes?

Bring some drinking water.

Yes, sir.

An order has come

to terminate the unit.

It says for us to

kill the boys ourselves.

- Captain!

- It's an order from above.

This is ridiculous!

What are you doing?

Say something!

What if we don't

carry out the order?

Someone will come here

to do it themselves.

What will happen to us?

If we leave first,

then they'll terminate...

What are you saying?

What do you mean,

terminate?

You should be saying

this can't happen,

not ask who!

Wait a minute!

What the hell

are you thinking?

Quiet!

If the order is irreversible,

we should obviously

ensure our safety.

Obviously? What's obvious?

Will there be consequences

if we disobey?

Then we'll be eliminated too.

If we don't

carry out the order,

they'll assume we

sympathize with the soldiers,

and concluding that we can't

be trusted to keep this secret,

they'll kill us as well.

This is absurd.

None of this makes sense!

Why just kill such

competent men?

- Does that make sense?

- Because they're competent.

Killing them is safer.

You a**hole!

Why do you keep taking

the higher-ups' side?

How much time do we have?

- Hey!

- Five days remain.

Can we use any method?

You son of a b*tch!

Sergeant Jo!

You...

Do you really have to...

Those pathetic bastards...

We can't die with them

just because they're pathetic.

Would you choose them

over your mother?

You want me to die,

a month before

my kid is born?

Even still, you bastard...

Even still, you bastard!

You dirty bastard.

Forgive me.

About the methods...

I'm leaving it up
