to the two of you.

Whether you follow

the order or disobey it...

Yes, sir.

What are you doing?

What? Is something wrong?

No.

These days, I almost feel

like settling down here.

Sang-pil!

Sergeant Jo!

Don't be like this.

It's an order, after all.

An order?

Were you

so nice to them

all this time

only to do this?

You coward.

Then what can

you do about it?

If you're so brave,

what will you do?

Don't say another word.

If you challenge me

again, I'll kill you.

Our creed

Can you do it

without Sergeant Jo?

At this stage,

it's better without him.

I'll take responsibility.

Just send Sergeant Jo

to the mainland, please.

If I send him under

these circumstances

will he just go?

Send him to argue once more

on the soldiers' behalf.

He won't refuse such an order.

Did you see a ghost?

Hey...

you'll hurt someone!

What's wrong, are you sick?

It looks like

the heat got to him.

Last night he saw spirits.

He screamed out so loud,

woke us all up.

Go take a rest.

Thank you.

Let's go. Come on.

Have a good trip.

Loyalty!

What does it mean

if Sergeant Jo's leaving?

That tonight they'll

wipe us all out?

Loyalty!

Sergeant Jo!

What?

Going on vacation?

You think I'm so fortunate?

I'm on business.

You'll be back today?

What's with you guys?

The boys were hoping you'd

bring back something sweet.

Don't worry about it.

All right.

I'll bring you back

something by tomorrow night.

Attention!

Salute!

Loyalty!

You know these soldiers'

abilities better than anyone.

In order to avoid

a terrible slaughter,

not one of them

should be left by daybreak.

Go out quietly, in one line.

Do we wipe them all out?

Once it starts, it's

a fight for our lives.

They started this.

We can't afford to

feel guilty.

If we can't finish in 20 min.

Our chances are slim.

Switch with me.

I can't do the

communication barracks.

Park was going on holiday

in a week, he was so excited.

Don't pretend you're the

only one feeling bad.

Does anyone here want

to kill their superior?

But your guy is new, you

can't be that close to him.

You bastards!

It's time.

We're supposed to take

our counterpart?

That seems a bit risky.

Is this the only way?

What if someone else...

- Control yourself, Sergeant!

- Stop it!

What are you doing?

This isn't like you!

What isn't like me?

You shitheads!

Kill them...

If you don't,

then we're all dead.

Got it?

Don't make that face, huh?

Go quickly now and contact

the soldiers on guard duty,

so they are informed

of our plans.

The operation begins

in 30 minutes.

In position, all of you!

In position!

You a**holes!

You could have just sent us.

My mission was to

kill you, not send you.

Your mission was to

send us to Pyongyang.

My mission was

not only to make

unit 684 the greatest unit,

but to respond at once

to the nation's call.

The nation has ordered me

to dissolve unit 684.

Now, my mission is to kill you.

Then you should've

done it properly.

Why did you set me up

to listen outside the door?

Knowing all this

would happen!

Now all your

subordinates will die.

As soldiers, they may die

in carrying out their mission.

But my sense of duty won't

let me break

my promise to you.

That's a cowardly excuse!

Yes, so I let my

subordinates choose.

I'm an incompetent coward.

Shoot me before leaving.

Or I'll have no choice

but to kill you.

I'm sorry. Sh*t!

Over there!

Don't shoot!

Don't come any closer!

And you were the

first one to betray us!

Even that mean bastard

Sergeant Dick was against it.

You were all doomed anyway!

You were gonna

die either way,

why should we die too?

Why were we gonna die anyway?

After you came, they

destroyed your national IDs.

You know what that means?

You're just ghosts,

roped in on this island.

Whether successful or not,

you were as good as buried...

Don't lie, you a**hole!

He's not lying.

But if you tell us

there was no other way,

then it's no different

when we take aim at you.

If you'd tried to find another

way, if you'd thought...

even once that

our cursed lives

are worth as much as yours...

What do you mean, the same?

You're all convicted criminals!

How can a bunch of nameless...

What I mean is...

We...

Why am I nameless?

I'm HAN Sang-pil!

HAN Sang-pil,

you f***ers!

Was that their plan

from the beginning?

Was it?

To use us and then get rid

of us with nobody knowing?

Even if we killed

Kim Il-sung now,

we'd still end up dead men.

We're better off dying.

But I won't even get my

name on my gravestone.

Sh*t.

I thought they'd bury us

in the National Cemetery.

I was going to be the

first success in my family.

If you're in Korea's best

special unit, you're a success.

Best? Who will ever know?

Those sons of b*tches who

kill us and erase our past?

We can go and

make sure that people know.

Beak 501, Beak 501.

DPS 351 confirm training, over.

What? There's no training!

- They're moving, report.

- How many of them?

About 20. All armed.

Even without all of you,

I can tell them

all we want to say,

so go wherever you like.

We won't stop you.

Go if you want.

If I don't see the bastards

who did this to us,

it'll drive me crazy inside.

If Geun-je had lived,

what would he say?

"Nowhere to go,

and nothing to do

once I get there. "

It's time.

The Blue House,

don't take any detours.

We need to talk to

the president, okay?

Don't cry, baby. Please!

Lady, all kids cry.

That's how they grow up.

Yes, sir.

There's no need

to be scared of us.

We're just on our way

to the President's House,

and we had no money,

so we borrowed this bus.

So you'll let us live?

Don't worry. Why kill

someone for no reason?

Here is some breaking news...

20 armed Northern guerillas

have landed via Incheon

and are traveling

along Kyung-in Road.

Heavily armed, they could

be a threat to bystanders.

Citizens are advised to take

extra-special precautions.

If those traveling on Kyung-in

Road see suspicious soldiers...

Armed communists?

They're calling us

armed communists?

Do they order armed

communists to kill Kim Il-sung?

Those bastards!

There's nothing behind us.

Drive straight ahead.

Straight ahead?

Step on it!

Step on it!

Prepare to fire.

Chan-seok!

Chan-seok!

They're not communists!

Why are you saying that?

They're unit 684 of

the Republic of Korea!

Chan-seok!

How can they

call us communists?

Stay awake!

If we learn tactics

on a deserted island,

and suddenly appear

in stolen uniforms,

we must look like

communist guerrilas.

Open your eyes!

I can't even remember

the national anthem.

Soldiers' corpses are wrapped

in a bloody people's flag.

Before the bodies

turn cold and stiff,

the blood

stains the flag red.

Raise it to the sky,

the red-stained bloody flag

and beneath it,

make a solemn vow.

Chan-seok!

Cowards can leave,

if they wish to go.

We will remain

to protect our flag.

It's nothing to cry about!

He's just going

a little sooner.
