It missed the bone.

You don't feel pain, do you?

He's hooked on morphine.

What is it?

What happened in Pohang?

F*** Pohang...

August 17, 1950

Pohang

What are we gonna do?

Retreat!

Take us with you!

- There's no time!

- Are you crazy?

Let's go!

Get the f*** back!

We can't take no more!

You're leaving us to die?

There's no room!

Get back, a**holes!

Let's go!

Climb on!

Get us out of here!

Hit it!

F***!

Captain!

Bro.

Bro!

You killed our own men!

You crazy bastard.

Why are you trying to kill yourself?

Who's to blame him?

He saved us all.

Didn't he?

Who could deny that?

Tell me.

Tell me!

Tell me, you f***ing cowards!

He's right.

You saved us.

Why can't you admit that?

Il-Young.

It's not your fault.

Heard that, Private?

You killed our men to survive.

Don't waste your life now.

Su-hyeok...

- Sang-uk!

- Sang-uk!

It's okay.

Send them away with him.

No more kids here.

We've had so many battles.

But this one will be the last one

over Aerok Hill.

We've heard that more than enough.

I'm sick of hearing that.

How dare you!

Keep quiet.

Carry on.

The Chinese Army will lead the attack.

When the ROK asses pull out

we'll wipe them out on their retreat.

Got it?

Take sure they don't get away.

What's the point?

One minute, it's ours.

And next minute, it's theirs.

What if they take it,

and an armistice is signed?

That's a suicide!

If they take away our men

Aerok will be stranded.

We can't defend against those Chinks.

So?

We desert Aerok

and set up a new defense line.

We cut off their line of supply.

Then focus our fire on them.

What the f***!

Who do you think you are?

A commander-in-chief?

Know your f***ing place.

Have you fought against those chinks?

Do you even know who Peng Dehuai is?

They have more men than our ammo.

Did you know that?

Son of a b*tch.

Contumacy in times of war

results in what?

Say it.

Contumacy results in what?

Punishment on the spot.

Standby to attack along Hakang ridge.

Answer me.

Sir.

Repeat it!

Along Hakang ridge.

Standby to attack.

Kang?

Standby on the north ridge.

Repeat it.

Standby on the north ridge.

Captain Shin was right about this.

He's saved our ass quite a few times.

Soldiers live and die by orders.

But this is like dying for nothing.

The visibility is bad.

I can't see sh*t.

And we can't hear sh*t

because of the rain.

Contact!

They're here!

It's chinks.

They're too many!

No word from HQ?

We have to pull out.

Aerok is completely surrounded.

Give us your order.

Not so fast.

We gotta wait.

I can't get Capt. Shin

on the radio.

That means...

He and his men are dead.

- Get HQ on the radio!

- Yes, sir!

Sir, it's Chinese army.

We're outnumbered.

I know, but...

What'd he say?

We're defending the hill.

We'll fight to the end.

He doesn't know the situation here.

We have to retreat now.

F***!

Il-Young is dead.

We're all gonna die!

Motherf***er!

Should I send you

where Il-Young is?

You should've listened

to Il-Young!

Soldiers die when they're told to!

No!

Captain, don't do it.

Our captain is dead.

By the military law

I'm in charge now.

We're pulling out.

Yes, sir!

By the military law?

If you kill me, you're in charge.

Can you get our boys out of here?

If you can, shoot me.

We don't have time.

Get all the survivors to Ridge 315.

- Move!

- Yes, sir!

If we make it...

I'll have you

court-marshaled.

Keep going!

Leave him!

We're f***ed.

Put up a white flag!

We gotta go.

Go!

Save your ass!

Get out of here!

I'm not leaving behind

anybody anymore.

Get up.

F***!

Sergeant Yang!

Sergeant Yang!

Why didn't you just leave me?!

Funny boy.

Wait for your turn.

Mt. Hwabaek Battle

in 1941.

I got this badge from an interim...

Yang!

F*** the badge!

We're out of ammo.

I guess this is it.

It's Capt. Shin!

He's alive!

How are you holding up?

When that flare goes out

fire all the trench mortar

and get out of here.

If they fall for it,

they'll be shooting at each other.

Take your men and go.

I'll be right after you.

No matter what,

we're sticking together.

You're in charge now.

Save your men.

Focus!

Trench mortar!

Fire!

Damn chinks.

The US recon aircraft is up,

and they're gone.

Let me ask you something.

Was it you?

Did you kill the former captain?

What makes you think I did?

Because Capt. Yoo will be

reported as a KIA.

You've seen enough.

Isn't your job over now?

What?

It's not enough?

Murders, treachery, disobeying orders.

Those are my charges?

That's right.

I report you and my job is over.

So is yours, a**hole.

I'd rather die out here.

Two f***ing Seconds.

It didn't echo.

He's nearby.

Listen up.

I count to 3, and we all run

in different directions.

He's fast, but he can't kill us all.

Some of us will live.

One!

Two!

Three!

I see you, a**hole.

I got him.

You...

Cha Tae-kyeong?

F***.

Su-hyeok!

No.

Don't come!

Su-hyeok!

Eun-pyo, don't come.

Su-hyeok...

Go!

Su-hyeok!

Eun-pyo...

Don't come, or you'll get killed.

You know what?

I think I died long ago.

You, me.

Everybody in Alligator Company.

Even Two Seconds.

She also died long ago.

Like Sung-sick...

We've killed too many.

We should be in hell.

Stop talking.

But hell can't be worse than here.

Killing each other...

I die today, and...

Stop it!

You're not dying, a**hole!

Eun-pyo.

My mom...

Yes, Su-hyeok.

My mom...

I can't remember her face.

Su-hyeok?

Su-hyeok!

No.

No!

Sorry...

We got booze, too.

"Goggles are handy

in summer. Thanks."

It must be that boy.

He's dead.

I killed him.

They killed many of our comrades, too.

What does it say?

"Hey, Cha Tae-kyeong"

The photo is mine!

And don't worry about your sister.

I'll take good care of her.

Let's stop fighting, a**holes.

What is it?

What does it say?

"Let's stop fighting, a**holes."

That's all?

Pretty much.

I bet they're sick of this war.

So are we.

Why are we fighting then?

Leaves are...

Falling...

KIM Su-hyeok

Into the night...

at the front line...

Sir!

Comrade Captain!

The war is over.

Listen to this.

The armistice has been signed by...

The war is over!

It's over!

Thank you!

We made it alive!

Thank you, sir!

Lieutenant Kang!

How could this happen?

Why couldn't you survive another day?

The war is f***ing over.

Sir...

It's okay to be hurt.

You can cry.

Bro...

Fire!

Rest in peace.

- Goodbye!

- Goodbye!

Kim Il-sung.

Enemy!

Goodbye!

Goodbye!

You fought well!

I guess it's really over.

Let's go.

Lieutenant!

What?

Kim Soo-hyeok.

Let's go.

Sir!

Attention!

We, hereby, sign

an armistice agreement

to stop the bloodshed

and suspend any open

hostile activities

until a complete peace is

achieved on the peninsula.

Conditions of an armistice

under this agreement

are to be strictly forced

by all the parties involved.

It was signed at 10 a.m.

on July 27.

However...

The supplementary provision

states clearly

that the armistice agreement

takes effect as of 22:00

on July 27, 1953.
