ROKS HALLA RETURNING HOME

FROM RIMPAC EXERCISE

Hey, Jeon Tae-ryong!

These chips are crushed to bits!

Nobody wants broken chips.

Your brother didn't teach you better?

Sorry.

Annoying good-looking brothers...

Is it true that Commander Kang hit

the US CV with a mock torpedo?

Captain seems pissed off about it.

Because it was Commander Kang,

not him that hit the target.

Kang looks like an idler,

but he must get his job done.

He pulls no punches during operations.

So not just a pretty face...

He studied abroad, right?

I bet he's never used public transportation.

To be honest...

I feel like he's younger than me sometimes.

He reminds me of my dog

with his big, bright eyes.

Her name is Poppy. I miss her.

Hey.

I had a dream about people talking behind my back.

For victory!

At ease. But this dream felt so real...

as if it really happened.

Is your Poppy that good-looking?

Sorry? No, sir.

No, sir?

And do I look younger than you?

My apologies.

What have we got here? Cool.

Let me play with it a little.

So, what's your plan now?

I'm known to hold grudges.

Talking behind my back...

Jeez.

You!

I'm hungry. Make some ramen.

Yes, sir.

What is it?

I don't know, sir. Seems they have something to report.

Do they?

♪ Congratulations on striking home ♪

♪ For hitting the US CV ♪ ♪ with a mock torpedo... ♪

What?

♪ Congratulations ♪

For victory!

Is he gone? How can you be so inconsiderate?

Whose idea was this?

Use your thick heads a little.

I was at the helm when we scored,

and you guys are congratulating him.

How would that make him feel?

I can't understand this situation.

Lieutenant Hwang.

I knew it was a terrible idea,

but Officer Roh insisted.

- What? - I told you so.

Why did you still do it?

You're right.

But you all agreed it was a great idea.

What's so great now?

Get out of here. Move it.

You put me up to this.

- Did I? - Yes.

You can't just do everything I say.

Are you kidding me?

You be the commander if you want.

What's that?

Is it for me?

Yes, sir.

To commemorate RIMPAC.

Wow.

Did your girlfriend make it?

Is it handmade?

No wonder it feels different.

I bought it.

Right... It's still nice and warm.

Red for passion! Thanks, man.

Where are you going? Come here.

Let's get a picture together.

Commander's waiting.

Put your phones down. Listen.

We have a message from Command.

Guess who it's for?

Where's Lieutenant Hwang?

I'm here, sir.

Hwang had a son!

Son! Son! Son! Son!

Leave! Leave! Leave! Leave!

6,000M AHEAD OF THE SUBMARINE

This just in.

ROKS submarine Halla returning

from the RIMPAC exercise

has disappeared off the coast of Guam.

The bad weather that has continued since yesterday

may hinder the search operation.

The submarine may have sunk

due to equipment failure...

ONE YEAR LATER

DAD, CAN MOM COME, TOO?

SURE...

We're ready for you, Commander.

Thank you.

Hello?

A bomb's been planted in a playground

and in the home of Lieutenant Commander Kim.

Which one shall I blow up?

Hello?

Let's go.

My fellow crewmen didn't give up hope.

We had no doubt we'd be rescued.

No one gave up.

We'll take the next question.

The crew in the stern were killed

due to bulkhead failure in the engine room.

Why were they gathered up in the stern?

This is not an interrogation.

All relevant details are available through the press.

Allow me to ask you.

The rescued men have testified

that they owe their lives to your strong leadership.

What leadership did you demonstrate

in the captain's absence?

Commander.

Who are you?

I heard you had a disagreement with the minister recently.

What are you doing here?

He's not happy about you visiting the hospital.

Do you really have to go there?

DEFENSE SECURITY COMMAND CHA YOUNG-HAN

It's one thing to look after your former crewmen,

but it doesn't look good

and attracts media attention.

Mind your own business.

I've retired from service.

Stop following me and my crew.

We don't want the limelight shed

on the weak minority.

How would that reflect on those

who came back safe and sound?

None of us are safe and sound.

Get out.

This arrived earlier.

TO LIEUTENANT COMMANDER KIM

Who's it from?

TRY TO DEFUSE IT, BOOM!

Honey...

TRY TO DEFUSE IT, BOOM! TO CPO JANG YOO-JUNG

RESTRICTED NUMBER

Officer Roh.

Wake up. It's me.

Sir...

Good to see you, man. For victory...

Hot!

You don't go home these days?

No, I like the fish.

They're my babies.

Besides, I get visitors all the time.

For a drink,

for a pity party,

and some just stay for good.

Who's staying for good?

Tae-ryong. Our good-looking boy.

He ended up staying for good,

that poor boy.

Thank you.

Our cook made the best ramen.

There's something you don't know.

What is it?

Damn it...

I'm not supposed to tell anyone.

What is it?

Sir.

Tae-ryong keeps saying weird stuff

about people he pledges to kill.

I told him he should never do that.

But he just laughs it off

and won't let me in his room.

He just won't listen.

Officer Roh.

Look at me straight.

Sir.

PO Jeon Tae-ryong is dead.

No, sir.

Tae-ryong is gone.

No. He's not dead.

I saw him yesterday.

Come to your senses.

Yes.

Sir, there was an explosion at a military housing unit.

It's Lieutenant Commander Kim,

the ex-operation officer of ROKS Halla.

ROKS Halla?

Well, Mom and Dad are...

One second, honey.

CPO Jang speaking.

Jang, a bomb threat requires your attention immediately.

An EOD truck has been dispatched to Cheonsa Apartments playground.

Okay, I'm on my way.

This was caught on the security camera.

Black smoke is rising following an explosion in a house.

RESTRICTED NUMBER

Hello?

Did you see the news?

Hello?

I picked Kim's house.

Do you like it?

A couple in their 30s were both killed in the incident.

LIEUTENANT COMMANDER KIM YU-TAEK

Hello?

This is Cha Young-han.

Where are you?

Was the explosion on the news at

Lieutenant Commander Kim's house?

How did you know that?

RESTRICTED NUMBER

RESTRICTED NUMBER

Who are you?

You saw torpedo no. 1 make contact.

No. 2 has just been launched.

Who are you?

Why is the navy's homecoming hero

getting all worked up?

I've sent you an app. Install it now.

Once you do, you can only take

calls and messages from me alone.

Don't mess with me.

Want me to blow it up?

The playground bomb is still alive.

- It's installed. - Next target.

Asiad Stadium, S15, row 11.

Call 911, it goes off.

Call for an evacuation, it goes off.

Check your phone.

You might want to hurry.

The countdown's 60 minutes.

It's going to be a long day.

- Emergency. - Emergency!

Emergency!

330 degrees ahead.

Turn the hard port 240 degrees. It's a torpedo.

- Hard port 240 degrees. - Get Captain.

340 degrees!

Distance, 5,000m. It's getting closer.

Depth, 200m. Full speed, straight ahead.

Depth, 200m. Full speed, straight ahead.

- Turn 250 degrees! - 250 degrees!

Torpedo at 330 degrees!

Put me on speaker.

60 seconds to impact.

- Decoy no. 2. - Decoy no. 2!

- Launch. - Launch!

Decoy failed.

It's on us again.

Distance, 700m.

One minute to impact.

It's slowing down.

It's slowing down. The battery's low.

It's a lost torpedo.

Give me the closest nearby shipwreck.

There's one at 800m, 120 degrees ahead.

We use the wreck for cover.

50m to the ocean floor.

Dive to 390m deep.

- Sir! - It's too risky.

Distance to wreck, 700m!

360m.

370m.

- We'll crash! - 380m.

We have to bring her up.

- Commander! - Raise the bow planes.

Raise bow planes!

Distance to torpedo, 400m.

40 degrees!

Distance to wreck, 600m.

- Launch all stern decoys. - Launch!

Decoys have all failed.

It's coming back.

We're crashing into the wreck. Commander!

Brace for impact!

Distance to wreck, 400m!

Distance to wreck, 300m!

Distance to wreck, 200m!

- Chief Engineer. - Sir!

We're crashing!

- Emergency blow, bow up! - Bow up!

Stern up!

Hold tight!

How did he know

it was Lieutenant Commander Kim's house?

Check Kang's recent credit card usage.

- Call history, too. - Yes, sir.

Dad's not picking up.

- He's not? - No.

Mom's been called out on an emergency.

Why don't you go home first?

I'll text Dad.

Text me when you get home.

- Okay. - You can go now.

It's a friendly match between

Busan United and Road Tokyo FC.

The first half is coming to an end at 0:0.

Busan intercepts a pass.

He's moving up fast.

A chance for Busan United.

There, there.

- Dad? - Yeah?

Mom says come home right away.

When did we ever listen to her?

Since forever.

Aren't you hungry?

I'll get some hot dogs.

What's the explosion got to do with the game?

Aren't you a journalist? It could be a terrorist act.

Whose house was it?

A navy officer's.

Which one?

Like you would know?

- I might. - Go home now.

- No. - I'm being nice to you.

Do you want me to stop?

I definitely don't want that.

- I won't say it again. - It's a goal!

It's cracked.

Hey, excuse me.

You know the game is broadcast live, right?

If you call for an evacuation, it'll go off.

I'm at S11. It's not here.

It's not your usual bomb.

It's triggered by noise.

You see the skybox?

If the noise hits 100 decibels, the time will drop by half.

It'll be fun...

if they score a goal.

Officer, you just bumped...

- Where's the bomb? - Bomb?

You can't stop it

because you can't move it.

What's Kang Do-young from Halla doing here?

You're Commander Kang, right?

I heard you say "bomb."

I brought my kid here.

There's a bomb in this stadium.

What? Shouldn't you evacuate people?

It'd blow before we could.

Loud noises trigger it.

This is a soccer stadium.

How could there not be loud noise?

Stop the game.

What, me?

How?

Ha Jae-wook.

A penalty kick is given to Busan.

He didn't even touch the ball,

but it didn't stop him from tackling from behind.

What a smashing move!

- Are you on your way home? - No, we're still here.

Put Dad on the phone.

He's gone to get some hot dogs.

He's driving me nuts.

It's a penalty kick for Busan.

What's happening?

It's a field invasion.

Oh, no.

What a psycho.

- I know! - What an attention seeker.

He even kicks the ball.

I feel sorry for his wife.

He kind of looks like your dad.

He's covered his face,

but he's making me blush somehow.

That's appalling.

Please, not during an international match!

They'd better drag him out quickly.

Look at him...

It's Dad.

There should be a law to punish people like him.

Isn't that your husband?

No, it's not.

- It was him. - I said no!

You have no evidence.

What the...

Kang Do-young... Hey!

Goodness.

What is he doing?

Minister, there's a bomb here.

Commander Kang.

What are you doing?

What do you mean, a bomb?

What's going on?

I'm sorry, sir.

What's wrong with you?

It's nothing. Let's keep watching the game.

Kang, do you know something?

It must be a bomb.

Let's get out.

I can't see my son.

Min! Let go of me!

- Please find my boy. - Mom!

Byung-gu! Stay there, Son.

Min-ho! You okay, baby?

You okay?

You're bleeding.

Did you have to go so far to save the minister?

What do you want?

Torpedo no. 3 will be launched.

Cheonsa Apartments playground.

By the way, CPO Jang was dispatched there.

Looks like she'll defuse it herself.

It won't be easy.

I'll launch torpedo no. 4 in a public pool.

It's packed with kids today.

Again, excessive noise will set it off.

Where will you go?

If you don't choose, I'll detonate both.

Don't hang up on me.

What's your choice?

The pool or the playground?

I'll go to the pool.

But then your wife could die.

Listen. If anything happens to her,

you're dead.

You'd better hurry,

or the pool's going to go.

What's going on? Can I ask you?

A rubber duck... A water park?

But I can't swim.

How come they haven't been evacuated?

Just honk.

Is that the site?

A bomb in a playground?

Shall I bring in the robot?

There's no time for that. I'll go right in.

Your hand is bleeding.

- What's your name? - Oh Byung-gu.

Thanks, Byung-gu.

Mom gave it to me to wipe my nose.

But I never used it.

Thanks, man. You're brave like your dad.

He got it after me, not his mom.

You can get home on your own, right?

Dad, you're on YouTube.

That's not me, Son.

What are you doing?

Let me borrow your car for the day.

What are you talking about?

I haven't even paid it off yet.

I'll compensate you.

That's not the point...

I can't be responsible for you.

Just make sure my car's all right.

He's riding with me right now.

Why the hell did you show your belly?

I'm not crazy.

I did it for a good reason.

You're after a scoop, aren't you?

Could you call my wife, please?

- Tell me! - Sure.

I've got to go.

- I have to call the wife. - What wife?

- Not you. Another wife. - Are you crazy?

I mean, it's an emergency, and...

Never mind.

Call her for me.

My phone's being monitored.

He's got a spy app on your phone,

so he's no amateur.

You'll be connected to voicemail...

Why don't you tell me? I'm a...

I've got to know so I can help.

A bomb blew up in front of me.

I can't just lend you my car.

Why don't you get off?

What if I say no?

Commander.

Were you this peremptory

on the submarine, too?

Yes, I was.

Do you know how embarrassing it was in the stadium?

That moment will be permanently

memorialized on YouTube.

Making a fool of myself

in front of my son.

Hold tight.

Hold tight to what?

What the hell?

I'm not holding tight yet.

There's a man! A man!

A car!

A gate, a gate, a gate!

Signboard!

Look, look, look, look!

We need police cooperation.

Not the police.

We catch the culprit ourselves.

He set off two already,

and both bombings are related to Kang.

I sent you a file about the suspect.

Look into it.

What is it?

Get access to police surveillance.

Locate Kang no matter what.

Yes, sir.

Which press are you from?

Huh? What you're talking about?

- From CBC? - No, I'm not.

OH DAE-OH, CBC REPORTER

Yes, I'm a news reporter.

I was going to tell you eventually,

but I'm not in this for the scoop.

Hold on.

Hey, honey.

Okay.

My wife says they won't confirm the name.

It's got to be a coincidence.

There are so many EODs.

You must have a suspect in mind.

Tell me, Commander,

if you want my help.

This is not something you can sort out yourself.

Turn off the recorder first.

What?

Oh! I didn't realize.

There. Off. Now, tell me.

- I said turn it off. - Fine.

Commander...

It's a red light... It's a red light!

Stop, stop, stop!

Brake, brake, brake!

What? The police?

I'm a detective with the Busan Police.

Don't do anything. Just wait for us.

Like I said...

Extend the break time.

And do not blow the whistle.

You've got to tell us what it's about.

We'll be right there.

- Who is it? - The police.

The police?

Tells me to extend the break.

Why?

Commander Kang's wife is

EOD Jang Yoo-jung.

I need your code for access.

I'll send it to you.

I want your report ASAP.

CPO Jang is at the playground defusing the bomb.

Go to the playground. Keep an eye on Jang.

Yes, sir.

Get out of the way.

Police. Don't be alarmed.

Where are you going?

Hello.

- There's a bomb in the pool. - What?

How long will it take to clear out the pool?

What are you saying?

Do not blow the whistle

under any circumstances.

What is it?

I just sent a picture.

What...

Commander, think back to the most painful day of your life.

That day is today.

Look for an old black Starex.

It's in the vicinity.

Do not open the door.

I'll find her. Don't worry.

You're not the only Jang Yoo-jung in Korea.

This must be a coincidence.

You've got to be careful

with personal information.

I have to be home early today.

Let's focus.

The timer just switched on.

30 minutes.

Okay.

Let's do this.

TO CPO JANG YOO-JUNG

There's a pressure sensor on the pole.

I can't get it off.

It looks like it's triggered by a decibel meter.

What's in the bag?

I'd estimate 20 pounds of explosives.

20 pounds?

It's too close to the residence.

Let's defuse it here.

Get started.

Be gentle.

Looks like the right one is tucked behind the board.

Okay... I'll loosen screw no. 2.

Do we have the X-ray?

Not yet.

Stop! Don't remove the board.

What? Why?

The board is connected to a decoy cable.

We still have time.

Let's try around the back.

That man on the second floor. Stop the noise.

The countdown just dropped. Seven minutes.

Jang!

The time is dropping by half every time there's a noise.

Yoo-jung, this bomb might be targeted at you.

It's not going to work. Get out, Yoo-jung.

If this blows up, that man will die.

Let me try.

I've got to catch it. Come on, come on...

Damn it.

We infiltrated the second floor.

Sir! Open this door!

Hello.

You just got a call, right?

Sure.

The problem's taken care of.

You can use the pool again.

Hello?

Are they kidding me?

- Give me your mask. - Here.

Don't blow!

Sul-young, Mom's coming home.

God, it's my daughter's birthday.

You can't do this to me today.

30 seconds.

We don't see anyone on the second floor. Just get out of there.

Get out when it hits 15.

Get out of there.

- Four seconds! Get out! - Get out, Yoo-jung.

Please!

You okay, ma'am?

CPO Jang!

Jang Yoo-jung.

It's a fake.

Scared the hell out of me.

I would throw her in the stockade.

That hardhead.

Don't come!

The situation isn't over yet.

Do not approach.

Where's my daughter?

Hello? Is that you, Do-young?

Yoo-jung? It's me.

What's this picture?

What's Sul-young doing in this picture?

Why are you on this call?

Walk away from the bomb now.

Where is Sul-young?

You should watch your loved one die, too.

Do-young? Hello?

Torpedoes no. 3 and no. 4 misfired.

Torpedo no. 5, launch.

Get out of there, Yoo-jung.

Direction, zero degrees. Distance, three meters.

You've got to get out of there!

If you walk, Sul-young will die.

Don't listen to him.

Get out of there now.

If you walk, your daughter will die.

What do you choose?

You decide, Commander.

No! Get out of there.

Yoo-jung.

Commander Kang, save Sul-young.

No! Get out, Yoo-jung!

Blow it up, you jerk.

Yoo-jung!

Are you listening?

Don't hide.

I told you not to bring any others into this.

Sul-young?

Sul-young. Are you in there?

Sul-young.

Don't open the door!

Sul...

Let's go.

I can't.

You're on your own.

I should go home.

Your name's Oh Dae-oh, right?

Yeah. It means fifty-fifty

because my dad

wanted me to always take the middle ground.

I'm sorry I was out of place today.

Help me. I can't do this without you.

My ear's ringing...

Wait up.

Goddamn professionalism.

This is CPO Jang Yoo-jung's phone.

This is Kang. Where is she?

She's in the hospital.

Thankfully, there was no shrapnel.

She'll live.

When she wakes up, tell her I saved Sul-young.

Yes, sir.

Thank God for that.

There were pictures of the crewmen.

The bomber's got to be an ex-serviceman.

You have a suspect in mind, right?

Why won't you tell me?

He's too close to you, and you don't want to suspect him.

There are many people whose lives I've ruined.

So? Who is it?

We're on our way there.

TOP SECRET

REPORT ON BLACK SHARK K-201

Pardon?

Sir, the playground bomb went off.

What about Jang?

They don't know yet.

What do we do?

The perp wanted Jang dead.

But she's alive,

so he must be pissed.

What should we do, then?

I'll drive to the hospital.

SURVIVED

WEAPONS OFFICER ON ROKS HALLA DISCHARGED NAVAL LIEUTENANT

Commander Kang was smiling...

on TV with his family.

Maybe he was happy to be alive.

I loved that smile.

All of us did.

But watching that face...

I mean, after sinking 22 of his men

to the bottom of the ocean forever.

Putting up memorials and flowers

doesn't change anything.

Even if they pull the wreck back up now,

it's too late.

Damn it! Damn it!

They'll still be lost to the sea.

What you should be doing

is not making that scumbag Kang a hero

but putting handcuffs on him and throwing him in jail.

Even that's too generous.

At least there...

Nobody knows. Nobody knows.

So I've got to do it.

I have to do this.

I've got to step up and avenge them.

For poor Tae-ryong

and every single one of the fallen crewmen.

I will avenge them.

Sorry.

I'm so sorry...

That was exhausting.

I wonder how it came out.

That's about how it went down, sir.

- Wake up, Roh. - Sir...

You said Tae-ryong was here.

Yeah, he's stayed here.

Wasn't it Tae-sung, not Tae-ryong?

He wanted me to call him Tae-ryong.

Where is he?

It stinks in here.

What's all this?

What the...

What are these?

Ball bearings.

It wasn't an enemy torpedo

that sank the ROKS Halla.

You knew about this, didn't you?

What are you doing, Tae-sung?

Why didn't you make a formal complaint?

It was for yourself.

It was the wrong call.

I'll put it right, Tae-sung.

Let's talk face-to-face.

I didn't resent you.

You wiped their tombstones,

but you couldn't wipe away your guilt.

Not for a man of conscience like you.

If you want to meet me, come to the East Hotel.

He wants to meet?

What's happening?

You know I spared your life.

But that torpedo was ours.

You're right,

but only Kang knows about that.

You knew Kang wasn't the bomber.

Catch Kang as quietly as possible

and tie him into it.

Knowing everything, why did you do it?

That's how our job works.

Call security

and share Jeon Tae-sung's picture.

Yes, sir.

This is Lee. It's code 81.

Put me through to security.

Send out Jeon Tae-sung's photo.

Yes, sir.

Sir.

Do you see a young doctor

and a woman in a wheelchair?

- Sorry? - He looks familiar?

Sure does.

Knock him out cold.

Dae-woo. Dae-woo!

- Commander... - What is it?

It's Sul-young.

What is this?

My daughter's been kidnapped.

Jeon Tae-sung...

The bomb's blueprint is in CPO Roh's house.

Find out how to diffuse it.

Why is he doing this?

Something happened on that ship, right?

That information is missing from your file.

They don't keep a record if it's a sensitive matter.

Help me.

I will reveal everything later.

Where should I go?

- Set to channel two. - Okay.

I'll go up from here. You, top down.

Okay.

Kang says he'll come clean.

So bring him in now!

What's that got to do with bringing him in?

If you let him talk,

that'll be the end of us.

All of us!

You knew all along

that Jeon was trouble.

I didn't think he'd go this far.

If you had done something,

none of this would have happened!

Two of my men got killed, you idiot!

How dare you...

Wow. He put work into this.

This is a multicore chip.

Satellite chips, counters...

The two bombs are connected.

What do you make of this?

What's all this on the wall?

It's pretty.

What is this?

Is it a real plant?

Who are you?

I'm here for...

some bread.

You see this gauge?

Yeah.

If the needle passes the red line, this will blow up.

What?

It'll blow up if you move and if there's too much noise.

Do you want to press that button?

It's activated now.

Hey!

Hey...

Go away... Please.

Don't tell me what to do.

- Do I know you? - Go where?

- Order 27! Your latte... - Shush!

- It's ready. - Shh.

Get down.

What is he doing?

Let's go around him.

He fooled me.

That prick.

2021 NAVY DEFENSE INDUSTRY FORUM

Just take care of Kang. Let Team Alpha handle the situation.

Starting in five minutes, Minister.

Shall we?

Okay, let's go.

Let's go.

- Hello? - It's a specific type of bomb.

There's an intention behind it.

The vest is equipped with

a location-tracking chip.

He made at least two of these vests

and connected them

using a distance sensor.

If one gets too far away

from the other,

they'll both blow up.

How do you disarm it?

They'll disarm automatically

once they get within one meter of each other.

I'm at the Defense Industry Forum.

The VIP seats are empty.

They're probably evacuating the VIPs.

Jeon compared himself to a torpedo.

Torpedoes can do prediction-based preemptive strikes.

I found Sul-young.

We're at a café across the road.

She looks unhurt.

But she's wearing a bomb vest.

It's wired so that she can't move.

I'll stay with her.

Just come quick.

Good afternoon.

I'm Jeon Tae-sung, the Weapons Officer on ROKS Halla.

A year ago today,

we lost 22 of our brothers

in the cold ocean.

That was the military executives

who abandoned you again.

Take a seat.

The exit is wired with explosives.

Jeon Tae-sung!

It's been a long day, right?

It'll all be over soon.

Let's get the people out.

Don't worry about them.

Worry about your daughter.

This vest is connected to Sul-young's vest.

If I blow up, she goes, too.

Cut it out. This is between you and me.

Sir, this is all a dream.

Merely a nitrogen narcosis.

That means... I can do whatever the hell I want!

Come out.

Come out of there, Tae-sung. I'll help you.

Commander, can you smell this?

This awful dampness and stale air.

Don't you see?

We're still underwater.

I'm sorry.

I'm responsible, Tae-sung.

I'll take responsibility.

Responsibility. Responsibility...

No one spoke about what happened that day.

No one told the truth.

Not a single soul!

I don't care about the cowards

who hid in shame.

Except!

Kang Do-young and Kim Yu-taek

used the deceased.

Tae-sung.

Tae-ryong is still underwater.

11 DAYS AFTER SINKING

We shot up a distress signal 11 days ago.

Why did it take them so long?

It's probably the typhoon.

Fortunately, they fixed the comms buoy.

Command will act on it.

Commander Kang must have a plan, right?

Of course, man.

He's no God.

He can't create oxygen.

Worse still, what about the CO2?

Write your last testament.

Dying slowly is the worst.

We would've been better off hit by the torpedo.

Kim! If we had gotten hit,

we'd all be dead now.

Commander saved us once,

and he'll save us again.

An emergency message has arrived.

ESTIMATED TIME TO RESCUE: 15 DAYS MINIMUM

15 days? Sir...

What's the atmosphere status?

Oxygen 19 percent, CO2 4 percent.

Are you sure the torpedo's ours?

Yes, it appears to be a K-201

that got lost during a test.

They're all going to die, then?

We ran several scenarios,

but survival is impossible.

The US is of the same opinion.

Not one man?

No, sir.

Bury it, then.

Nobody can know the torpedo was ours.

Keeping CO2 and oxygen regulation at the minimum,

we'll last six days at most.

Even if they reach us in 14 days,

that leaves seven days with no oxygen.

What's the best we can do?

An urgent message from Halla, sir.

I can't make the call sitting in this room.

Commander Kang will know best.

Any objections?

Burn the file.

We have no other choice.

No one can give such an order.

We can't all live.

Should we all die, then?

We've obtained approval from the top brass.

Who made that call?

We've got to save even one man if we can.

Whose life?

Who decides that?

Your fellow men could die because of you.

We've got to save whoever we can!

- It's unacceptable. - You punk!

- Stop! Please. - Goddammit!

Please stop! I object, too.

We've just lost another life,

squabbling like this.

Isn't one survivor better than none?

Commander, no. This isn't right.

Let's be sensible.

Sensible? With human life?

Should we all die, then?

Think about it.

Your brother Tae-ryong could get out alive.

You mean yourself?

Come on, man. Please!

- You punk! - Stop, just stop.

How do we choose who?

We've got to decide that.

Who here wants to die?

Enough!

Stop.

This is your Commander speaking.

Thank you all for holding out thus far.

We have a storm above us.

Once it's over,

it will take at least 14 days for the rescue to arrive,

provided the sea stays calm

and the rescue team works

around the clock.

The CO2 removal

and oxygen generation capacity

gives us four days,

six days at the most.

I don't need to tell you what will happen after that.

My goal is to save as many of us as possible.

But it's looking like that's not going to be everyone.

If we can save half of us,

or if that's not possible, half of half,

or even just one man?

I think that's the way to go.

We'll have to decide whether half of us live full lives

or all of us last six more days and die together.

I can't make that decision for you.

We'll put it to a vote.

What are these blank ballots?

It means that they support whatever you decide.

Four in favor, four against.

The rest have left their votes to me.

We're saving half.

- Wait, sir. - Tae-sung.

Don't.

I have 44 strands of thread.

Once you've drawn your thread, you can't change it.

That's the rule.

If all the officers draw short threads,

the most senior crewman will take command.

Is that clear?

Yes, sir.

Short threads to the stern,

long threads to the bow!

Next.

Next.

Take this.

Stop it.

Take it. Come on.

It's the rule.

It's okay. Just listen to me.

Stop it, man.

Tae-ryong, listen to your brother.

Stop it.

- Take it. It's okay. - I said don't.

Take the thread, dammit.

I said stop!

What's going on?

You can't change threads.

This is my right.

I never agreed to this.

It's an order.

Tae-ryong is my brother.

Just stop it.

Jeon Tae-sung, it's an order.

Sailors don't throw their lives away.

Boys!

You all know this is wrong.

I know how you feel. Stop.

I won't.

Judging from such a ridiculous order,

you're not in your right mind.

I'm relieving you of command.

Lieutenant Kim!

Place him in custody.

Boys!

You all know. You all know!

Boys!

Sir, please stop.

Lieutenant Jeon Tae-sung is

suspended from duty as of this moment.

Says who?

I'm suspending you from duty, Commander.

Place him in custody!

Lock him up.

Commander!

Tae-sung!

I'm sorry, Commander. I apologize.

Just let me change the thread.

Let me change it.

I'm sorry, Commander. Please let me change it.

Please, sir.

We should've all died then and there.

No, we did all die there. Tae-ryong and me, too.

I have only one regret.

I should've let you change your thread.

I'm sorry, Tae-sung.

You know where Sul-young is,

but don't you want to know where CPO Jang is?

She's in a Tucson opposite Sul-young.

This vest is called the "Fused Tree."

I'll give you three minutes to decide

whether to save one or kill both.

You decide.

Dad's in a café,

but I can't come now.

Who are you?

Kang Do-young!

What are you doing?

Just give up.

- Where's Dad? - He'll be here soon.

You can't go there...

Don't come, Do-young.

Do-young!

Where's Sul-young?

Right there.

Dad's here. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Sul-young.

Did you make up with Hye-in?

Not yet.

Why not?

I don't know.

It's harder than you think, huh?

No.

I thought you wanted to make up.

Yeah.

Your dad picked this out?

I miss him.

I'm here to tell the truth

behind the sinking

of the ROKS Halla.

Due to poor weather conditions,

it took 20 days for Command to locate our position.

Oxygen had almost run out.

We only had enough for 44 men

to last seven days

I thought rescuing 44 corpses

would be pointless.

The 22 casualties were the result,

not of a bulkhead failure

but of my independent judgment.

I take full responsibility.

I'm sorry.

Who did the lost torpedo belong to?

It was one of our own.

How much oxygen was left when you were rescued?

Almost none.

Any comment for the victims' families?

Couldn't you have saved another life?

I should've made one more long thread.

I'm sorry.

If you were to go back to that time,

what would you do?

HERE LIES HWANG YOUNG-WOO

Am I doing the right thing?

You mustn't falter.

Look at them.

The survivors have it worse.

It's my turn, sir.

Not that one.

I've chosen my fate.

You should stay, sir.

If we run low again,

we have to do this again.

Young-woo.

Those with short threads, assemble.

Commander.

Brothers.

Please don't cry.

We'll go down with honor.

Hold strong

for those you leave behind.

Please make it out alive.

Let's think again. There's got to be another way.

No, sir.

If you break down, we all die.

Those men...

You're responsible for them.

I hear you.

Attention.

Ready front.

Go.

Attention!

Salute.

Decibel

Where are you going? Come here.

Let's get a picture together.

Let's see.

How do you do this?

Why are you looking so awkward?

I don't like taking pictures, sir.

He loves taking pictures.

Yeah? Okay.

By the way, don't call me "sir"

when we're on our own.

Just call me bro.

- Yes, sir. - On three. Okay?

- It's nothing. - One, two...

Say "bro" on three.

One, two, three!

- Bro. - Bro.

I have an idea. Get everyone down.

Bring them in.

Yes, sir.

He's becoming more and more like me.

Let's take one together.

One, two, three.
