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. The commander promises Jin-tae that if he gets a medal he would release his brother, and Jin-tae becomes the braver soldier in the company.

Get in there!

LEE Jung-ja, JUNG Kook-sup

KIM Young-shin

Get up!

Aim!

Don't even think about it

Let's not hurt each other

Get up, Young-shin

Jin-tae...

Where is Jin-seok?

He was taken into

the front building

What's going on?

They just said I was under

investigation and took me here

We're executing traitors

according to the law

I don't care what you're doing

- I'm taking her

- Then you're a commie, too!

- I don't think so!

- KIM Young-shin, 23

signed up for the communist

party on June 23

We have her signature!

I did it only for food

I didn't know what it was!

She worked for

the communist party 35 times

And participated in

numerous communist rallies!

We were starving

I have to get food somehow!

The South Korean government

gave us nothing!

Shut up!

You step away

- Don't be stupid

- You're dead, too

Touch her you're all dead!

This is the last warning

Step aside

Don't move!

Or you won't walk

out of here in piece

Do you know what

you are doing?

I'm stopping you from

killing innocent people

Get her out of here!

You wanna save a whore?

She was with every single

North Korean officer!

Shut your damn mouth

before I'll blow it off!

That's why she isn't fleeing

- That's not true

- Don't pretend you don't know

- It's no use denying it

- No, that's a lie

- Go now!

- Last warning

If you take her out of here

you two are commies too

No, Jin-tae

Jin-tae, believe me

Get the hell out of here!

Bring them out and go!

- Now!

- Stop right there!

Young-shin!

Young-shin, hold on!

Hold on, Young-shin!

You... still have

the handkerchief

You don't know...

how much I missed you

I... didn't do anything

shameful, Believe me

Nothing, Jin-tae

Young-shin!

I can't die now...

How can I die now?

Our young brothers...

people...

Jin-tae...

Young-shin!

Young-shin...

Young-shin!

Young-shin!

Why did you question her?

You know you killed her

you killed her, you...

You killed her

you murderer...

You shot members of

the Anti-communist Federation?

The Medal of honor doesn't give

you the right to shoot anyone

How can we fight this war

with screw ups like you?

What happen to contact with

the headquarters?

I'm still trying, sir

How can we hold out for

Send my brother home!

My former commander

promised to

What kind of

bullshit is this?

You earn a damn medal and

your brother is discharged?

You only have to report it

I don't believe this!

I don't give a sh*t

what he promised you!

You think this is

a business deal or something?

He started it

How dare you talk back?

Think of what you've done!

Lock him up!

What a waste of Medals!

Urgent message

from the 1 st company!

Put him in the cell!

I don't give a sh*t about

the order. Just retreat!

I'll take responsibility

All companies, retreat!

God damn!

- Open the cell

- You're crazy!

Give the order!

Those commies will

kill you first

I only want my brother out

Not until we finish examining

your heads first

Give the order, Now!

One more thing...

the hostages...

Burn them!

- Change that order!

- Put the gun away

- I said, change the order!

- This is an order, Remove the gun!

Change the order!

Burn the warehouse down

it's an order!

Medic! Medic!

Open the door!

Jin-seok...

Jin-seok...

Let go, you bastards

I'm the chief

Military Hospital, Tae-Jeon

South Korea, July 1951

Jin-seok!

You look well

Thanks, You saved my life

I thought I was dead

in that cell

I did too when you got shot

as we were coming out

Someone up there likes you

- When do you get out of here?

- Next week

How nice to be discharged!

I bet your mom needs your help

This damn war should be over

The battle around the 38th

parallel is still bloody

Everyday so many lives are lost

but we can't take any ground

I bought them on my way

Thank you again

And... your brother sent...

This letter home... but it was

returned to the camp

You keep this

I doubt he retreated then

I've searched everywhere, but...

I don't want to know

- I don't care

- PFC Lee Jin-seok!

You're wanted

in the counseling room

Thank you

Our decorated hero

turned into a communist

It's a serious problem for us and

a good propaganda tool for them

At first we didn't believe it

But his fiancee was executed

as a communist

That must have affected him

He doesn't know what

communism or democracy is

Then how come he

turned into a communist!

He wouldn't have done this

If he thought of his family

I suppose there must be a reason

You, too are a suspect, unless

you give us a good explanation

I don't care about Jin-tae

The Jin-tae I knew was just

an innocent shoeshine boy...

who loved his family

especially his brother

The one who's got the medal

and leads 'Flag unit'...

He is not my brother

What happened to Jin-tae?

I was questioned, too

You had lunch?

How can you eat right now?

Unthinkable!

We expected him to

become a captive, but

how can he become a communist?

After seeing his fiancee

shot to death and then...

He must have thought that

you were killed in the fire

He loved you so much

I don't care about him

He's crazy about medals

they must have offered him

a good post!

Maybe the damn commies

Offered him a better post!

You see?

Dear Mother

I miss you every day

Please stay well until

we get back

And don't worry about Jin-seok

I will definitely keep Jin-seok safe

War is tough but Jin-seok

is doing fine, don't worry

Please say hello

to Young-shin

When I'm back home

I'll make you happier

I promise

Be careful in this

cold weather

It's very cold

Take care of yourself, mom

All these patients came from

the battle near

the 38th parallel

Your are crazy

to go back there

How can you be sure that

you'll even find him?

You'll be discharged in a week

Think about your mom!

Please listen to me, Jin-seok!

See you soon

You've to take care of

Young-shin's brother and sisters!

Jin-seok!

PFC LEE Jin-seok!

Take care, you bastard!

We attack up the middle of hills

Then battalions 1 and 2 flank

the hills from both directions

As I said before

in this strategy

We have to take out

'Flag unit' at all costs!

Don't forget we've moved

the operation up 1 day

A question?

When will PFC Lee join the mission?

He'll sit this one out

Since the Americans

moved the attack up 24 hours

there's no time

He'll speak over

the microphone

- Sir!

- What is it?

I'm LEE Jin-tae's brother

It's an honor to meet

the brother of the traitor!

Unless he sees me, he won't

believe it's me

I have to go

We start the attack

in an hour

There's not enough time

If he sees I am alive

he'll come back for sure!

- Please let me go

- Out of the question!

Sir, please!

Answer me one question

Is this for your country

or your brother?

Just read the script

over the speaker

No enemy movements

detected, sir!

F-86 Sabres are standing

by Artillery units

are standing by

- Loyalty!

- Loyalty!

- Where is the script?

- It's not been delivered yet

We thought the Headquarters
