Jin-tae and his mother are tough workers, who sacrifice themselves to send Jin-seok to the university. When North Korea invades the South, the family escapes to a relative's house in the country, but along their journey, Jin-seok is forced to join the army to fight in the front, and Jin-tae enlists too to protect his young brother.

You saw him

with the American officers

and the cameras flashing

That's Sergeant LEE

as of today

And he's squad leader

of the 1 st

He was talking well

'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

My gosh, this guy

doesn't know anything

What do you know

about photogenic?

That kind of face is

good for nothing practical

He's nothing

compared to this

Damn, what a knock out!

How did you get

a wife like this!

I told you to look at

my son, not my wife

I saw you looking

at her breasts!

Give it to me

My son'll be a General like

MacArthur someday

I also have a wife in

the North

- MacArthur!

- When'll this

damn war be over?

I thought it'd last

only a week

When you go home

you go back to school

It'll be soon, since

the U.S has joined

Yeah, right

Your home is near here

isn't it?

If your mom's back in Seoul

she'll be searching for you two

Just one each!

- Congratulations

- Thank you

Jin-seok!

You know what this is?

This is the chocolate

you wanted so much

Just tell me

if you want more

They will

give me more

any time I tell them

Yes, 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

from tomorrow

- Did you send the letter?

- I asked someone

I don't think

they're back in Seoul

It's getting cold

at night

You should go inside

You felt like

a stranger today

I kept worrying

I've been thinking

about things

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

You know, right?

I was so scared

when dad died and

mom couldn't speak anymore

But you helped me

get through it all

Jin-tae

The day after tomorrow

You were supposed to get

married to Young-shin

I hope you think about Young-shin

And all our family

not only me

Pyongyang, North Korea

October 1950

He surely didn't get out yet

You can't let him go!

You must get him alive, got it?

The commies are

hitting back hard!

Where's their captain?

Sh*t, sons of b*tches!

- Cover me

- What?

Sergeant LEE!

Jin-tae!

A few more up there!

I saw them!

- Cover me

- Too dangerous!

- My brother's in danger

- Sit down!

Get down

It's dangerous!

Come with me

Yong-man and KIM

come with me!

- What's going on?

- The captain is escaping

This isn't your business

The 3rd platoon is

here for that!

The 3rd is waiting

on the way out!

This is an order!

- Don't go

- Come on!

Sergeant LEE!

Damn!

Sergeant LEE!

Sergeant LEE!

Sergeant LEE!

Stay still, don't move

you son of a b*tch

Stay still, don't move!

you son of a b*tch!

Yong-man

- Don't move!

- Shoot me

Not now!

You think I'm gonna

say a thing?

Get up!

Yong-man, please wake up

Yong-man!

Am I gonna die?

Yong-man

Medic!

Kill me now!

Yong-man, don't give up!

I won't let you go!

Yong-man! you okay?

- Yong-man, come on!

- No, Yong-man!

Yong-man!

- Get up!

- He is the captain!

I got him!

I got him alright!

- Yong-man

- Yong-man!

- Come on!

- Yong-man...

GO Yong-man

To position, salute

Back to position

We'll continue over

to Aprok River

near the Chinese border

I hope every one of you get

there safe and alive

Let's leave

What's wrong?

The medal... who are you

really doing this for?

You love being a hero

don't you?

Promotions, parties

interviews...

Who knows? You might even

be battalion commander, right?

Keep this in mind

Yong-man's son, Min-seok

will grow up without

a father

And bear a grudge

against you forever

- Stop it

- If you'd listened to me back there!

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 for it!

Not another word

What the...

This is Seagull One

The communists have

slaughtered all

the villagers

Roger

Report to headquarters

Let's take care

of the bodies

This is Seagull One

We will take off after recovering

the bodies at Dongjin, Over!

Help me

Please find my mom

Please find my mom

- Don't cry, I will help you

- Help me

Medic! Medic!

They even left traps!

Don't let even one of

those bastards live!

Get up, you communist bastard

Son of a b*tch!

Die!

You dirty pawn of

American imperialism!

Please, don't kill me

F***, son of a b*tch

Get up, you fucks!

Go on and sit down!

I surrender

- Hey, you!

- I surrender

- How many are in there?

- There are five

They'll come out, too

Please don't kill us

You killed them, right?

No, they were dead

when we came

One more lie, you're

dead, got it?

You killed them?

- Don't shoot!

- Shut up!

Don't lie to me!

Oh, please!

Yong-seok!

Jin-seok!

- What happened?

- Jin-seok!

I was forced to join the North

Korean army or be killed

Now it's okay

don't cry

Drink this

Should I report?

Jin-tae!

Report that all the enemies

were killed in battle

- What are you talking about?

- They'll be excess baggage

This is Yong-seok!

He was like your own brother!

All I see now is

a communist

I am Yong-seok

your friend!

I know shoeshine boy Yong-seok

but that's not you

PFC LEE, move away!

We're not communists

He was forced

to come here!

You step back!

- Did you kill them?

- No!

we didn't! Really!

He says he didn't!

- I don't believe a commie

- They are animals!

- Get out of the way!

- Jin-seok!

- Come out!

- Let go!

Don't kill me! Jin-tae

Please don't kill me

Jin-tae... Jin-tae

Get your hands off!

Kneel down!

- You dirty pig!

- Don't kill me

Go ahead

and I'll report that you kill

unarmed soldiers

We're no better than

the commies killing civilians!

You are all crazy!

They're hostages!

You saw what they did!

They're animals!

If we kill them

we are animals, too

It was them who

started the war!

We're the same

No better, no worse!

Okay, kill them

Shoot!

What are you waiting for?

Shoot!

Shoot, shoot!

Go on and shoot!

Today's your lucky day!

Get up!

go, you bastards

Hye-San-Jin, far northern 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... not who he was

He's so changed

Just before I left, 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

Whenever she saw me

she cried

I reminded her of you two

And the noodle stand?

Frankly... she isn't well

What's wrong?

Is it serious?

I don't know exactly...

but she couldn't move well

Young-shin was

having a hard

time, caring for everyone

The commies wouldn't

let her run the stand

She attends rallies all day long

It's the only way

to get food

Don't worry, though

Things may be

getting better
