The Front Line Page #3
Putting our lives at risk?
Yang, put it down.
I wanna hear what he has to say.
Do you have anything to do
with the death of a former captain?
He was shot in the head
at point blank.
The pistol used to kill him is
what we officers use.
Of course.
It was his pistol.
What?
He shot himself
while running from a battle.
He was a piece of sh*t.
But I reported him as a KIA
out of courtesy.
You saw it?
One of the boys did.
Where's he now?
He died today.
One you buried earlier.
Where did you find his body?
In the creek north of the hill.
Listen, Eun-pyo.
There's nothing you can dig out here.
Even if you do...
Nothing you can do about it.
What makes you so sure?
Just leave before you get killed.
I will.
But...
Now is not the time.
Kim Soo-hyeok...
What are you doing here?
Yours?
You live nearby?
Have you seen anything
suspicious around here?
Go home.
You're not safe here.
Hold on.
It's chocolate.
Don't come back.
Guys, get up there!
Medic!
June, 1953
And 23 got wounded
and need to be evacuated.
Most of them are severely...
We don't have men to evac them.
Request the regiment for an evac team.
Get out of here.
What's this?
Disobeying my order?
No.
We need at least 30 men to evac 23.
There's no way.
That's not it.
When will the war end?
What?
Give me the letters.
So many things to say!
- I'm here.
- Come on.
"Thanks for the lyrics to
Night at the Front Line."
"Do me a favor.
Send my family this picture."
Wait.
Give it here.
"I don't think I will see them
ever again."
This CHA Tae-kyung kid
has a pretty sister.
Come on.
Stop drooling.
She's pretty, so what?
If her brother is red, she is too.
Give it here.
His sister is a fox.
Who's this?
Cha Tae-kyeong.
She's cute.
I'll keep it.
Mail this.
You can't do that.
Forget it.
Yeah, forget it.
What do you think of my future wife?
I have the address.
I can visit her after the war.
This girl...
What's going on with damn truce talks?
This is bullshit.
The war has been in a deadlock
for 2 years now.
And half a million have died so far.
It's crazy, isn't it?
Damn.
Look, Nam.
Why can't we stop fighting
during truce talks?
You should be a CO for the UN forces.
Yeah, that's right.
You don't mind?
You're funny.
Move.
What's this?
It's a pair of goggles.
Here.
- If I put them on...
- Give them here.
Made in Germany.
Lieutenant, they look horrible on you.
Here, Cruit.
That's not fair.
He didn't do anything
to deserve these.
They're for him.
It's for the lyrics to that song.
You don't know that.
Come on.
Take them.
Move.
Why don't you sing it for us?
Sure.
One, two, three, four
Leaves are falling...
into the night at the front line.
Falling down silently...
dews are so cold...
We have intel
Chinese army will set up
a strategic base here.
Any word from Recon?
Nothing?
We lost contact with them
on the north ridge.
It's been 8 hours.
They might've been sniped.
If that's the case,
it must be Two Seconds.
That piece of sh*t turned up again.
Two Seconds?
It's our nickname
for this enemy sniper.
Why Two Seconds?
The body goes down first.
And 2 seconds later,
a gunshot is heard.
That's why.
From 680 meters away?
Yes.
He must've modified his rifle.
He's killed about 30 of our men.
How are we gonna get him?
I'll get him.
Can you do it?
Give me 10 men.
Where the f*** is he?
He's not here.
Let's go back.
Not yet.
We searched everywhere.
He's not here.
You've been holding it, huh?
Let me see your dick.
Are you nuts?
Come here.
Get your ass over here.
No way!
Come on.
We're leaving soon.
Come here.
So you can beat me?
No way.
- It's Two Seconds!
- Get down!
No!
Don't go.
I can't move my leg.
Don't fall for a trap!
Stay put!
Where'd he shoot from?
Sergeant Yang...
Sergeant Yang!
Don't move.
Stay there!
Seong-sik!
Help me.
I don't wanna die.
Seong-sik!
Don't!
- I want him to shoot again.
- What?
One more shot.
We have to get him.
He's waiting for us to take the bait.
Are you crazy?
F***.
Seong-sik, grab it.
Hang in there!
Grab it.
Reach for it.
That's good.
We got him.
Commo!
Stop.
Stop shooting me!
Seong-sik.
Give me your hand.
Requesting an artillery attack.
The coordinates are...
Give me your goddamn hand!
Lieutenant...
Come on!
Lieutenant...
Seong-sik...
Die, Two Seconds.
Seong-sik!
Where the f*** is he?
He couldn't have made it.
His body must've been
torn into pieces.
No, he's alive.
What?
He walked.
F***!
Poor Seong-sik.
He was so young.
So what?
This is a battlefield,
and anybody can die.
Is there an order who dies first?
Age means nothing in war.
Chocolate?
Was it that boy who sang?
Lieutenant Kang!
Where are you?
This way, guys.
F***.
An artillery attack
for a single sniper?
I should've taken out the commo first.
The 2nd Corps of Chinese Army is
setting up a new point
in the northwest of Aerok Hill.
First lt. Kang?
Are you listening?
Put your head together!
To hold the defense line...
Got something to say?
Seong-sik died
because of you.
Many have died.
This is war.
Is this how?
How you made First lieutenant
from Private in 2 years?
I guess it is.
I did what I had to do.
I bet you did.
Each and every time.
Now you're going for captain?
Should I salute you?
The war killed Seong-sik.
That's bullshit, a**hole!
Excuse me?
My arm will grow back
when I grow up, right?
I said no.
It won't, will it?
It will grow back,
and I'll be normal again, right?
Look.
Are you a lizard?
Arms don't grow.
You'll be armless
until you die, freak!
Motherf***er!
It'll grow back!
You call yourself human?
Tell me it will!
No, I'm not human anymore.
I died long ago!
What do you expect?
Shut the f*** up.
What do you know about war?
Things are worse in the rear.
You're not the only one
fighting a war.
Everybody is in hell!
You don't know a thing about hell.
Nam Seong-sik.
Kids like him die everyday.
Hundreds of thousands have died.
And why the f*** isn't
this war ending?
What do you know about hell?
What is hell?
Is it Pohang?
Tell me!
Where's my platoon?
Where's everybody?
Move.
Don't get closer!
He's completely crazy.
Thank God he doesn't have a grenade.
He's not crazy.
He's on and off.
Can't you see him?
Have him transferred.
He will receive
a dishonorable discharge.
It's not fair for a man of bravery.
What?
You sons of...
Where's my platoon?
It got wiped out!
Can't you remember?
Song Hyung-jong!
Ahn Hyun-su!
Kang Hyuk-pill!
JUNG Man-su!
Jung Kyu-won!
Who else?
Nam Guk-bae, Shin Chang-su
They all died.
When we fled Pohang,
Why?
Why?
If so...
Why am I alive?
Tell me, PFC. Shin!
Captain, no.
Don't.
Stay back!
Why am I the only one alive?
Tell me!
Sang-uk.
Look at me.
Don't you remember?
What happened in Pohang?
Why'd everybody die except you?
Enough!
That's enough.
Look at me.
It's me, Il-Young.
No!
Get him!
Doc!
You were lucky.
