Who received the file for LEE Jin-seok, number B-38?

LEE Jin-seok? I did, Why?

I checked the list of remains and the photos

He's not on K.I.A. or M.I.A. list

Not even on the survivors' list?

LEE Jin-seok...

Identity search for participating soldier

the list of participants...

Still alive?

Grandpa!

The Army Headquarters is on the phone!

hello?

I'm with the Korean War excavation team

I'm calling to confirm some information

Are you LEE Jin-seok who fought at the battle of Dumillyong?

That's right

We've identified some remains as LEE Jin-seok's

Oh... you did?

But I am LEE Jin-seok

Is there any chance... it is LEE Jin-tae?

No, it's definitely LEE Jin-seok

I'm sorry to have bothered you, sir

It's probably someone with the same name

What did they say? Was it about your brother?

I thought it would be since

it was a call from the army

Grandpa, can I help with the garden?

Could you drive for me?

I can drive him

Don't worry, Mom

The site is on a mountain and you aren't well

I'll call her later

You got sick after your trip to China to look for your brother

Yes

Why don't you go start the car

- Yeah - Make sure you've got an ID

It's a restricted area

Don't worry I've got enough IDs

OK then

Are you going to wear your sneakers?

I'll shine shoes instead

Jong-Ro, Seoul 1950

Shoe shine!

Shoe shine!

Shoe shine!

Shoe shine!

Shoe shine!

Shoe shine!

Shoe shine!

The middle ones are new from Italy

They're beautiful

It's a work of an art

The heels are high and the stitching is superb

Well... I like low heels better They look more comfortable

- Really? - But

I bet you can make so much better than those

It'll take a few more years

I'll be so proud when you make shoes at a shop like this someday

- What did you buy this for? - You wanted to have one

You look great!

Thanks, Jin-tae

Ice cream!

Ice cream!

- Hey, ice cream! - Yeah!

- Give me a real cold one - Why don't you buy two?

- Just one is enough - OK

Here's one, nice and cold

Take it

- You've already spent too much - Take it!

- Yours? - I don't want my teeth to rot

- How much is it? - It's 2 won

- Thank you - Have a nice day!

- Take a bite first - No way!

- Come on, it's melting! - You eat it

Jin-tae! The tram!

Shoe shine

Where are you going?

We have to go home!

I've finished the math homework

I'll teach you something new

You have to teach me tomorrow!

Mom!

You haven't finished yet?

What does it look like to you? We're busy!

- Jin-seok's here, too - Hi, Young-Shin!

Stop that I'll put some on a plate

It's okay, Young-Shin

I told you not to do that

Come here

- Come on, I'm not a child - Come here

Thank you!

See you next time!

Where did you get this barley?

I got it for signing up for some kind of National Correction League

- National Correction League? - I think barley

for my name is a good deal

I wish mother had done it, too

Nothing's ever free

I could kill for free food

Hurry up and close the shop Dad's waiting!

Dad, Jin-seok scored the top for his last exam

Isn't that a good job?

He'll make your dream come true

Please help him enter the best university next year

And please keep him healthy

He was very sick last spring

No, but I'm fine now

Young-shin, Mom says to come in!

Remember her, dad?

Jin-tae is going to marry her this fall

Mom's worried about such a nice girl marrying such a rough boy

It'd have made you so proud...

Mom, the kids must be hungry

Jin-seok, let's clear the table

Why don't you go help mom

Open the pot!

Again!

Here, use this from now on

I made it from my skirt

Don't lose it

What did you like the most?

The meat!

- I liked the cookies - I liked the fruit!

Can we go swimming?

No, it's too late We have to go home and sleep

But tomorrow is Sunday We have no school...

It's too hot to go to bed

- No... - Please, please...

You look really happy

I wish everyday were like this No more, no less

I know, Jin-tae is a little rough but has a warm heart...

Don't worry. It's not cold

Shall I show you?

Jin-tae, I don't want to do it!

Why are you changing the heels? The high ones look great!

They look great! Are you gonna sell them?

You wanna buy them?

If the price is right I just might

You'll never have enough money to buy those shoes!

Hey, why is this pronunciation different form the spelling?

Didn't I tell you not to ask me about spellings?

You don't know the second grade's stuff?

Shut up and go get more shoes

Okay, I was going to

Hi, you're gonna teach me math today, right?

- Why aren't you at the library? - You haven't heard?

A war has broken out

Any soldiers on leave are to report to duty right away

This morning the armed forces of North Korea attacked South Korea

But our brave soldiers are fighting courageously and pushing them back

Citizens should not be deceived by the groundless propaganda of the north

Informing you once again

at the 38th parallel...

What are all these? Are we moving?

We have to carry all these

Only food and clothes I told you!

Don't worry I won't ask you to carry

Uncle's house is way too far

- Put that stuff back - No, I'll carry them

We can't carry all these!

I'll carry them! I'll carry them all!

Don't be stupid!

I told you I will!

We'll be back soon I told you

How do you know that?

No one knows what will happen!

The shop is just starting to do well

Somebody will take it while we're gone

What about the KIMchi pots buried in the yard?

And the vegetables I planted in spring?

They all will be fine until we get back

What if you're drafted?

Only if they need their boots shined

We have to hurry

The North's solders are getting close

And the streets are packed with refugees

Hurry up, Young-ja

Let's go

Mother!

Mom says we must stay together all the time

- Put Young-min on here - Young-min

Hold on tight

We won't be long, okay?

Jin-seok, come on!

Jin-seok!

Hold hands tight!

Young-ja!

who could send his son home

Wanna know how?

Wills are for dying people

You've got to be strong

Got it?

Why the hell did you go for that mission?

Tell me

Why is that?

I don't understand why you did that

Just forget it

What if it was you laying there

with your guts open!

Promise me you won't do that again

Promise!

Alright

All I need is just water

Why the hell are they playing that music?

They know we're isolated

They're gonna drive us crazy

Remember the ice cream?

It was so good

Back home, you can eat it till your teeth go numb

I wonder what mom

Uncle would be taking good care of them

I miss them all

Young-guk, Young-ja Young-min...

I should've...

set the dog free

Seung-chul!

Seung-chul Put it down

Seung-chul

Why couldn't you wait just a little longer?

Dismiss

- Go back to the trench - Shit!

We're going to die here like dogs?

Starve to death or shot to death

Who says we're gonna die?

They haven't given us food or water for days!

We'll die an honorable death

Soldiers are human, too!

What's the honor when starving to death?

- Shut up! - You crazy bastard

You'd go to them for a piece of bread

It's better than starving to death

Okay then, go on!

Go join the commies I'll kill you before you get there

Surrendering is better than

starving to death like animals!

Who gives a shit who wins!

Is that ideology important enough

to kill each other over?

You finished?

This is totally different from

our fight against Japan!

You damn communist!

Fuck, give back your badge! you crazy fuck!

Stop it, son of a bitch

- Let go, let go! - You son of a bitch!

Stop it, son of a bitch

Okay, let's die, you bastard today, okay?

We're gonna die anyway

- Die, fucking bastard! - Take it easy!

The communists slaughtered

- his entire family - I didn't do it!

This ain't circus! Go back to the bunker!

This is it?

Let's attack them

We're so weak we can

- barely lift our guns - One more day

and we'll be eating corpses

Or surrender to the commies

They wouldn't expect us to attack them

We've got nothing to lose haven't we?

Let's go in and wipe them out

I will fight!

I will, too!

I will follow too

- I will go too - I will go along

- I will go - Hey, count me in

- I'll go too - Me too

One mistake can

- kill us all - Let's go and kill 'em all!

Sir!

I don't understand

why I'm out of the mission

You're not qualified

I am! Let me join them!

- I have to be with my brother - It's too late

I'm begging you, I want to fight with others

Your brother begged me to sit you out

and now you wanna go?

What are you risking your life for?

- You need a medal, too? - What medal, sir?

Attack!

Attack!

Fucking bastard!

Fuck, kill 'em all!

Die all of you... die!

Please... don't kill me

I'm only 15

I just got drafted

Please don't kill me

Please...

Die...

Die!

Watch out! They are coming from side!

Jin-tae, where are you going?

Come back, Jin-tae!

Jin-tae!

I said come back!

Jin-tae!

Jin-tae!

Jin-tae!

Son of a bitch!

If they take this bunker

we are finished, Got it?

Yes, sir!

You fucking babies

How dare you betray us like that?

Hurry up!

You are lucky to be alive

Jin... tae!

Jin-tae!

- Jin-tae! - Jin-seok!

Are you okay?

Good

Let's go get some water

Jin-tae...

Why do you volunteer for

every single risky mission?

For a Medal...

To send me home?

What the hell are you doing?

You think you're bulletproof?

Every second I see someone killed!

Are you mad?

Suppose you get the medal!

I'd be happy to go home with leaving you dead?

How could I look at mom and Young-shin?

You're still young and ill

But I'm a soldier now

Don't ask them to sit me out again

You and I should be together

We live and die together

Ifyou do this again I wont' forgive you

Don't get me wrong

Already 15 dead from our unit alone

but no one knows who's gonna die next...

If I can live staying behind

I will stay behind

- Please understand me - No way!

You want me to watch you die?

I won't die, until I get you back home safely

- Let's go - Jin-tae!

You know

I want both of us to live

But if only one gets to go

I want it to be you

You alright?

You all did a great job!

Besides our victory

there is one more good news!

The U.S marines made

a successful landing at Incheon

We'll push in as they make

the 2nd attack into Incheon

Your bravery exemplifies

the men of this battalion

Raise this flag on Mt. Baekdu by the Chinese border

Yes, sir!

Seoul, September 1950 Mr LEE, Could you look at the camera when you are taking the picture?

Mr LEE, Could you look at the camera when you are taking the picture?

Why were two brothers from the same family in the same battle?

We had no other choice but to volunteer the army

in order to protect our country

from danger

We heard you did a great job at Nak-dong river

Any other motivation for fighting so bravely?

My only motivation as a soldier

is to fight to prevent

my family from suffering under

the oppression of the communists!

Jin-tae!

I'm going to send a letter home

Tell me what you wanna write

We have to send it with a local

Do I have to do it now?

- Sergeant LEE - Yeah!

Let's do it later I have to go to the reception

We've got to ask one of the people on the street!

- Sergeant LEE - Yeah!

You write something for me See you later!

Jin-tae!

What is this? Are you kidding me?

Give me some eggs!

Give me the eggs

Behave yourself!

Come on YANG!

Come on, an egg!

Is there anyone from in Manri-dong?

Who lives in Manri-dong?

I don't remember the last time I ate like this!

Nothing but vegetables!

Where's my egg?

So, do you like it?

You know, Jin-tae is

really going to be on TV?

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

3rd unit, block off the back road

He surely didn't get out yet

2nd unit, 2nd unit!

You can't let him go!

You must get him alive, got it?

The commies are hitting back hard!

Where's their captain?

Shit, sons of bitches!

- 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

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

Get up, you communist bastard

Son of a bitch!

Die!

You dirty pawn of American imperialism!

Please, don't kill me

Fuck, son of a bitch

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

I miss the noodles

your mom cooks

The loser doesn't eat for two days!

Do it right, bastards!

- Won't you do it right? - Kill him! kill him!

Do it right, bastards!

2 days aren't bad enough? You want 5?

You ain't hungry?

You crazy bastard do it right!

You see now?

Like this! Like this!

Think of him as South Korean pig

Like this!

Fight until one gets knocked out

If not, I'll kill both of you

You got it?

You got it!

Who's going to be the damn South Korean?

You do it!

You don't need to

You don't have to It's you and me now

- What the hell are you doing? - Isn't this a game?

Fight, or you'll die of starvation

- Stop it! - Come on

Come on, son of a bitch!

Come on!

There you go that's the way

We're not done yet!

We fight until one of us can't get up!

We fight until the end!

- You are killing him - Let go!

Anyone tries to stop me I'll kill you, too!

Get up, or you'll starve to death!

Come on! Fight or you're dead

I said, fight, you pig!

Bring it on! Bastard!

Many of our brave soldiers

sacrificed their lives for their country

And the long awaited victory

Is very close

- Just stay still! - It hurts!

I can't help it

When the hell can we go home?

And General MacArthur has ordered

UN forces to advance to the north

The victory is ours

You all did a great job

Reunification is right before us...

Victory!

2nd battalion! What's going on over there?

We're going home! home!

Ok, let's kick some ass!

It looks like the war

may be over soon

I wouldn't be so sure I heard Chinese will back the north

That's just commie propaganda

Uncle Yang what do you think?

The Sunspot and Great Bear

are losing energy now and...

We will be home before the New Year

You really sure this time?

What the hell!

Okay, I believe you

Sergeant LEE

Sergeant LEE

Congratulations!

He'll get the Medal of Honor!

I expected it you would get it

You got it for catching the captain alive

The commander is really pleased

- What is that medal of honor? - You idiot!

Any time 'honor' is in the medal's name, it's good

Tomorrow the commander will

award it himself tomorrow

Let's give him a big hand!

Sergeant LEE, now you can be a soldier forever

Jin-seok!

Let's talk

Make it short I'm on duty

You can go home soon

Then go back to school right away

You missed a lot

You're the one that needs

to go home You're sick

I'm not going home

You'll do what I say

- I don't want anything from you - Listen to me

What's wrong with you?

I worked my ass off for that medal!

This is a great chance for us!

For you, not for me

Have you thought about what the medal means?

I don't care

I needed one to send you home

That medal costs Yong-man's life!

I won't go

You have to go to college!

What good is college now?

I hate everything you stand for

Don't tell me what to do

Do you really mean that?

I will make my own decisions

Don't tell me what to do

You really want either of us to die?

Then, you go home instead!

What did I risk my life for?

I didn't ask you to!

I want... you to go home alive

I also want to go home y'know

But you are our family's...

dream and hope!

I never regretted giving up school

and shining shoes for you

Mom happily broke her back for you

Do you know our sacrifices?

I know all

Why am I the only one you think about?

If you think about Young-shin and

Yong-man, you couldn't have done it

I don't care what you think as long as you can go home

The command post will leave first

Take the classified documents and burn the others

Yes, sir!

I wanted to believe your shit but look at this!

Hey, make it fast!

Yong-seok! Yong-seok!

Are you crazy?

How could you... How could you do that to...

You bastard!

Stop this!

Young-shin...

Young-shin!

Young-shin!

Why did you question her?

You know you killed her

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 72 hours with those losers!

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 shit 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 shit 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!

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 931 and 851 dividing them

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

40 minutes to go!

No enemy movements detected, sir!

F-86 Sabres are standing

Stop screwing with me!

- I'm begging you! - What are you here for!

- Oh, please! - Speak up!

- I'm begging you - Sir!

We've got an order to bring him to the security unit

You have to come with me!

Let's go, we have no time!

Bro, get up! We have to go! We have to go now!

We have to get out of here

Please, get up!

Don't you think of mom?

You have to take care of Young-shin's grave!

You promised many things!

You can't die here!

You have to live to see me go to college, come on!

- Jin-seok? - Jin-tae!

You're really alive

Go!

No, Jin-tae! I won't go alone

- Just go - No way!

- Get up and come with me - Listen

I will surrender and come home after the war
