We're standing at Edgware Road in London

where the 14th Olympic marathon race

is taking place.

The runners in the leading group

are entering the last stretch

and passing the 39 kilometer mark

Wait!

As we speak

contestant number 265

from the second group...

Who is he?

An Asian runner is quickly making

a play towards the leading group...

What's his name?

Jun Shi Kim

It's Jun Shi Kim from Korea

A marathoner unknown to the world

He is engaging in a tense battle

for position

among the leading group

Jun Shi Kim

from out of nowhere!

Unbelievable!

Isn't the air nice, Tatsuo?

You'll get used to it here soon

I'm sure you'll make good friends here

It's Jun-shik!

I'm faster than a car!

Grandpa!

You show the signs of a great imperial soldier already

Welcome, my boy

How've you been, Father?

Greet them

He's the new, young master

Jun-shik Kim, sir

I'm Eun-soo Kim, sir

Great, Tatsuo

You have a new friend your age

Tatsuo runs well. Like you

My brother's the best runner in Kyung-sung, sir

I'm the best in Tokyo

No match for a country boy

Wanna race me?

Ready

Go!

Hasegawa beat Korea's Jun-shik Kim in the 4th high school marathons!

Korea's son, Jun-shik Kim, beat Hasegawa Tatsuo and won!

"HASEGAWA TATSUO WINS NATIONAL MARATHONS AGAIN!"

"KIM JUN-SHIK WINS!"

Congratulations

Jun-shik Kim, the light of Korean marathon

Hasegawa Tatsuo, the star of Japanese marathon wins again

Good job chasing behind me

Must be your damn lucky day

Let's applaud Hasegawa Tatsuo

who won the national high school marathon

and brought great honor to Imperial Japan

Long live our Emperor!

Long live Imperial Japan!

Long live...

This is my grandson, Tatsuo

You must be very proud

I expect a lot from you

Thank you

It's a gift from the Japanese Minister of Defense

Open it

Yes, sir

Give me that!

Get away!

Grandfather! Grandfather!

- Father! - Grandfather! Grandfather!

Do something! Father, please! Do something!

You're a doctor who saves lives!

Why aren't you doing anything?

- You killed him! - No

You killed him!

No

Bring my grandfather back!

Let go!

He didn't kill anyone!

You bastards killed him!

Jun-shik!

Bring my grandfather back!

No!

- Daddy! - No! I didn't do it!

Daddy!

- Jun-shik! - Daddy!

Father!

Bring my grandfather back!

Father!

Jun-shik

Bring my grandfather back!

Let Go!

- Father! Father! - Daddy... Daddy

Don't show your face around here again

Or I might kill you

Korea's hero, Ki-jung Sohn won an Olympic gold medal! Rejoice!

MAY, 1938, KYUNG-SUNG, KOREA

Why do you have sandbags strapped on?

Are you a marathon runner?

Korea's luck in the marathon stops with Ki-jung Sohn

A Korean man will never be an Olympic victor again

Koreans are banned from Olympics

'cause Sohn covered the Japanese flag?

If you were a bomb,

I'd run straight into the Athletics Association

Marathon running is a science demanding concentration and fighting spirit

I'll prove it once and for all at the Olympic tryouts

Can you go any faster?

You might regret it

I'll pay double if you get there in 30 minutes

Triple for 20 minutes

Hold on tight

Your victory in the tryouts is a given

What is your goal in the Olympics?

I'll win the gold and set a new record

- What a laugh? - In honor of our great empire!

Look out!

Look out!

Let's go! Coming through!

Move! Out of the way!

To a marathon gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics!

- Cheers! - Cheers!

You're quite the runner

Here you are

Double would've been fine

Opportunities come to those who don't give up

Jun-shik Kim

Jun-shik!

Are you okay?

Isn't that...

Are you all so happy over half of a race?

I'm Ki-jung Sohn

Ki-jung Sohn's in Japan

Wanna bet? If I win, I get to marry your sister

Hurry

You say Japan and Korea are one yet you ban Koreans from tryouts?

Are you claiming the Athletics Association is unjust?

Your comment, Mr. Chairman?

The board has decided

If a Japanese runner will win anyways, what's the problem?

It'll be boring for Hasegawa without Jun-shik Kim

I think Jun-shik Kim shouldn't be in the discussion

See!

Jun-shik Kim?

Jun-shik

Jun-shik Kim, what have you been up to?

What are your thoughts on the ban on Korean runners?

Are you still training?

How much do you train each day? Your comments, please

Mr. Hasegawa?

Are you confident you'll win even if Jun-shik Kim enters?

You think he stands a chance against me?

But aren't Jun-shik Kim's records better than yours?

That was in the past

You think a mere rickshaw driver can beat a well-trained marathoner?

If you could enter,

are you confident you can beat Hasegawa?

How good can a mere rickshaw driver be?

I'd be grateful just to enter the race

Here is your acceptance letter from Berlin Medical University

Sign it

The marathon is more important to me than my studies

This is the most important period in your life

Focus on your studies

Our men are sacrificing their lives to build a Greater East Asia

I don't want to be a coward who runs away from war

War is futile

You are insulting Grandfather

Tatsuo, watch what you say

Think of the people before your country

That's the way of a doctor

Then I must treat the Korean people who killed my grandfather?

Even if it kills me, I'll never do that

The picture is missing from the frame in my room

Jong-dae! Why you

Why would someone steal a picture of all things?

It should be around somewhere

Anyway, I hope you can enter the tryouts

Father will be so happy

Don't get your hopes up

Can't trust the Japs

Get more firewood. The fire's dying

Please?

It's so pretty

How do I look?

Eun-soo

I think you're the prettiest girl in all of Asia

"OLYMPIC TRYOUTS ENTRY FORM"

Please win and bring hope to Korea again

I can really enter the race?

Show them how scary a mere rickshaw driver can be!

Jun-shik

Listen carefully

The man in front of Jun-shik is Ki-jung Sohn

Then, you must be holding the Olympic tryouts entry form

If I'm right, hold it up high!

Yes!

Let me see!

Yes!

Sir! Sir!

Jun-shik!

Min-woo! Everyone!

Korea's best marathoner, Jun-shik Kim,

will run the marathon again!

Hurray for Jun-shik Kim! Hurray!

Jun-shik Kim! Jun-shik Kim!

Get the rice cake kings ate! Rice cakes here!

Here you are

Father picked it out himself

The best pair there is

Promise you'll win the race today?

Tatsuo

Your father will be here soon!

Look

Let's relieve all our Korean folks' heartaches today!

Jun-shik Kim! Jun-shik Kim!

Act according to the plans.

Runners to the starting line!

You can do it!

And they're off!

Tatsuo!

Go, Jun-shik

Tatsuo, go get 'em!

Hasegawa! Faster! Faster!

Jun-shik, you're halfway there!

Don't mind Jun-shik Kim

Hasegawa! Spurt ahead!

Spurt ahead!

Hasegawa!

The runners will come into the stadium any minute!

Why are you so late?

A surgery took long

What a tense moment!

There! The runners can be finally seen!

Who is the first runner coming in? Who will it be?

As expected, it's Hasegawa with Kimura behind him!

What? There's another runner! It's Jun-shik Kim!

You can do it

Jun-shik

Jun-shik Kim!

Go, Jun-shik!

Kimura! Kimura!

Hey! What's that bastard doing!

Jun-shik!

Jun-shik!

Tatsuo!

Jun-shik!

Jun-shik! The rickshaw won!

Jun-shik Kim! Hurray!

Jun-shik Kim!

The last runner is coming in!

It's a dream come true!

The medals will be awarded soon

I knew you could do it!

Ladies and gentlemen, the results will now be announced

The winner of All Japan Olympic Marathon Tryouts is

Hasegawa Tatsuo!

Second is number 13, Ando!

Third is number 18, Kimura!

Will the three runners come up to the victory stand?

Hasegawa, Ando, and Kimura

Please come to the victory stand

- Jun-shik Kim was first! - What's he saying?

Jun-shik Kim!

Spectators, please calm down and be seated

Jun-shik Kim has been disqualified for blocking Kimura's way

Disqualified? How!

Jun-shik

Jun-shik

Is this why you let me enter?

Go back. Didn't you hear you've been disqualified?

You should've run fair and square

Fair and square?

Crazy bastards

Try Saying it again!

Jun-shik!

Jun-shik!

Jun-shik!

Damn bastards!

Damn bastards!

Jong-dae!

Hasegawa! Please come up to the victory stand,

immediately!

The winner of the Olympic tryouts is Jun-shik Kim!

Hasegawa, Ando, and Kimura!

Please come up, immediately!

You bastards cheated first!

Tatsuo!

Tatsuo!

This court has decided on the following sentence

Based on section 4 of the legal code,

all accomplices of the riot

will become Imperial soldiers

and swear allegiance to the Emperor

Mother!

Mother!

I didn't do anything!

Jun-shik!

Jun-shik!

Jun-shik!

Jun-shik!

Eun-soo!

Jun-shik!

Father!

Father!

Jun-shik!

Soldiers must behave with decorum

Stop mumbling!

Soldiers must always improve their battle skills

I don't believe this

Soldiers must always improve their battle skills

Soldiers must serve with utmost loyalty

Soldiers must always be frugal

Frugal...

"JULY, 1939, NOMONHAN, MONGOLIAN BORDERLAND"

Retreat!

Everyone retreat!

That Way!

Concentrate!

Get up there!

Retreat!

Min-woo!

You okay? It's me, Jun-shik

Wake up!

Shit. I should've fought for independence instead

Who would've guessed we'd end up fighting for the Japs here?

Our damn fortunes

I'm starving to death

You're hungry 24 hours a day

Grow up will you?

Hey! Hurry up!

Lazy Korean fools!

Yes, sir

Let's hurry

Hope you get shot down dead

He's really dead?

- Choon-bok! Your butt! - What?

Where's it coming from?

I almost got my head blown off

The broken wall at 1 o'clock

I heard the 1st regiment got attacked, too. It's him

Just our damn luck

Jong-dae! Cover me

No! Stay back, Jun-shik!

Cover him!

Choon-bok! Cover him!

Are you okay Jun-shik?

It's great you shot down just Japs, but Noda's gonna kill us

She killed so many

Hey! Don't hog all the food! Give me some

Don't slobber over it!

Give me some!

This is you?

You keep eating. I'll look at this

Fine, I'll show you. Let me see first

Not that sexy

She's crying

Coz you took her picture

No, it's coz you ate all her beef jerky

Fools. Why'd you make her cry?

The bullets happened to swerve and hit only Japanese soldiers?

Did the bitch smell

your Kimchi breath? Talk, you fools!

Speak, you bastards!

Who sent you here! Say it!

I'm Shirai from Hailaer

You raped my mother before my father, and raped me, too

Listen!

There are many like me in China

China will never lose to you!

I will never forgive! Never!

Tell me! Why did the bullets fly past you Korean rubbish!

Speak, you bastards!

Damn it! Stop it!

I said no speaking Korean!

Enough

That won't bring back the dead!

Go back to your work places

What's all this? Who's coming?

Colonel

I'm Colonel Takakura

Company, halt!

Attention!

What? Why's that bastard here?

Colonel Hasegawa, what brings you here?

Private Takakura ever drive past honorable Imperial soldiers' corpses?

Mukai!

Yes, sir

First!

For shamefully ordering a retreat,

you're demoted to private as of today

Second

Private Takakura will prove loyalty to our Emperor and commit hara-kiri!

Be thankful our Emperor granted you an honorable death!

Long live our Emperor!

Handle the deceased with due respect

Yes, sir

Remember, after feeding off corpses,

crows can come and gouge out your eyes

I'm Hasegawa Tatsuo

I came here to demolish

Soviet tanks!

I'll show them true power of the Imperial army!

When out of bullets, Imperial soldiers must charge with bayonets!

If bayonets are broken, we must fight with bare hands!

Imperial soldiers do not leave the battlefield till death!

Understood!

Yes, sir

We either win or die

First!

We'll build a pontoon bridge over Khalkhin River within 48 hours

Second!

We'll form a special suicide unit of 50 men to demolish tanks

All officers will stand with me at the vanguard of the special unit!

Mukai!

Yes, sir!

Write up the list and have it on my desk by tomorrow

Dismissed!

Dismissed!

I'm sorry about your picture

I glued it together

Take it

I have a sister like you back home

My name is Jun-shik Kim

Thank you

"Shei-shei ni"?

The sun's going down! Hurry up, you bastards!

Stop dawdling!

Hurry up! Work harder!

When the sun goes down, it's over!

Squad 9!

Damn slow Korean dogs!

Build this in 2 days? He's insane!

They worked us from dawn! Where's the food!

Stop talking about food!

You're making me hungry

Choon-bok? What's "Shei-shei ni"?

Learning Chinese?

Why do you keep asking?

Just tell me

It means thank you

Stop working!

Attention!

At ease

I heard Tatsuo was your marathon rival

He didn't stand a chance

Jun-shik's way better!

Come out!

Keep that in your mouth and come out!

Choon-bok Hwang!

Come out faster than a bullet, or you'll drink all the water here!

Repeat after me

I'm a barbarian

I'm a Korean

Repeat that, keep the fish in, and do squats till sundown!

Begin!

Catching fish on duty or running during bedtime!

You think this is a playground?

Make sure everything gets incinerated

Yes, sir!

No!

How dare you!

Not my running shoes!

Oh, is that so?

If you wanna run, do it barefoot

Where are you going, fool!

Damn bastards!

How many more beatings you need! Korean dog!

No!

Gwang-choon? This side's sinking

What? There's a screw lose

Who unscrewed this?

It was there before

Squad 9! Step forward

If we went on like this tomorrow,

what would've happened?

From now on, the engineering unit will fix up Squad 9's area

Squad 9 will hold the faulty plank on their heads

And return to the base before sundown

The best marathoner will be leading you

The plank must be leveled! Keep it leveled!

Noda, the bastard!

Save your breath

Just walk, Jun-shik We'll hold up the plank

Don't worry

If you hurt your knee, it's over! Listen!

Keep it leveled!

One! Two!

How is it? Cool enough for you

Squad 9 Sluggards!

John Yushe.

Yes sir.

Yueh Sanchin.

Yes sir.

Jong-dae Lee!

Yes, sir

Jun-shik Kim!

Yes, sir

Why're they calling us this time?

Attention!

The 50 soldiers called will fight in tomorrow's attack

On a special suicide mission with me

What did he say? Suicide? Us?

We will carry bombs and demolish enemy tanks at dawn

Fight like Imperial soldiers and die with honor

I'll kill anyone. Who dares retreat

Koreans should be honored to be included in this heroic mission

I'm not taking part in this operation

Oh, really?

For what reason?

The Korean soldiers and I didn't volunteer

we cannot consent to a mission that demands death

Your permission to shoot, sir!

Dare disobey me?

All Koreans here, including our squad,

think the same

I'll ask again

Are you disobeying me?

This is insane

Execute him with the other POWs!

Before we march out tomorrow

Have fun on your last night

Stupid bastards!

Are you okay?

I'll be executed at dawn

Like this

The Japanese are evil

Korea and China are foolish

I'm not afraid to die

I'm just mad I couldn't kill more Japanese fools

If I could, I'd get more revenge

I'd kill them all!

What are you doing?

If we're gonna die like dogs, might as well save Jun-shik!

Hurry UP

Hurry!

Shirai

Why her?

Pull her out!

Why? At a time like this

It's coming!

Run!

Get down!

Jun-shik!

Let's head to the bridge and go south

on Khalkin River to cross the border

Where's Min-woo? We're the only ones going?

He's out on a job with Noda

We can't take all 100 Koreans with us

Let's hurry

We don't have time. Come on.

Jun-shik!

Get on

Jun-shik! Jun-shik!

Jun-shik!

What's that?

It's an attack!

We could've gotten killed, too

Damn Japs! Good for them!

Let's go! Come on,

Jun-shik! Hurry up!

What's going on?

Soviet tanks are coming! Grab the oar!

Tanks?

Get on!

Jun-shik!

The tanks are coming!

Get on!

Go ahead without me

What did you say?

What the hell are you doing!

Crazy?

Get on, Jun-shik! Come on!

What the hell are you doing!

Come with us!

Let's all survive and meet again!

Jun-shik! Are you crazy?

Are you crazy?

Just get on!

If you go back, you're dead, too!

Come back! Jun-shik!

Jun-shik!

Jun-shik Kim!

Jun-shik!

Jun-shik!

Shirai!

Watch out!

Watch out!

Shirai is an ace shooter

Shirai!

Shirai!

Shirai!

Shirai!

Shirai!

Hurry.

Go save your friends

Thank you.

Stop!

Don't come!

Stop!

Stop!

It's an attack!

Don't come!

It's an attack, sir!

Get ready for battle!

Block off the front with trucks!

Move the trucks up front!

The rest to the first line of defense!

To the first line of defense!

Defend the first line of defense!

To the first line of defense!

Charge!

Scatter!

Long live our Emperor!

Long live our Emperor!

Die bravely like a special suicide unit member!

You son of a bitch!

Min-woo! It's okay

You go and die bravely!

Min-woo!

Help me

Min-woo

Min-woo

Fools!

Imperial soldier don't retreat!

How dare you run away!

Charge!

Don't show your back to the enemy!

Don't back away!

Charge!

Charge!

Don't back down!

Don't run! Fight! Charge!

Want to get everyone killed?

If you want to die, do it alone!

We're not dying like dogs!

Order the retreat!

Imperial soldiers must charge ahead even as ghosts!

Enough with the Imperial soldiers!

Order the retreat!

Colonel!

Here's your chance to die honorably as an Imperial soldier!

Long live our Emperor!

Long live Imperial Japan!

Where are we going?

Can we make it back home?

Hurry UP!

Move it! You bastards!

"CHITA"

"OMSK"

"PERM"

"FEBRUARY, 1940, KUNGURSK, SOVIET UNION PRISONER OF WAR CAMP"

We are not prisoners of war, but criminals who started war

We'll repay our debts to Soviet Union with dedicated labor and reform

As proof you'll carry out the oath

The leader of you Japanese dogs,

Hasegawa Tatsuo, must step on your national flag

We're not labors or criminals,

but proud Imperial soldiers!

You have no right to force us to reform!

Imperial Japan will not abandon you!

Keep your dignity till the day

you return and fight with honor!

Long live our Emperor!

Long live Imperial Japan!

Hurry up! Move it!

Walk in a line!

Colonel! Don't fall asleep, sir!

Shut up, fool! Keep moving!

Hurry up! You yellow bastards!

You slow sluggards!

Newcomers to the left!

Old maggots to the right!

Hurry!

Line up, you bastards!

Newcomers to the left!

Old maggots to the right!

Choon-bok!

Gwang-choon!

- Jun-shik! - Jun-shik!

I thought you were dead!

What a relief you're all alive

Where's Jong-dae?

Jong-dae's here, but

Attention!

This is Anton, your supervisor

I'm Anton

If Area 3 doesn't shape up, it'll be hard to stay alive here

Officers or soldiers,

I won't tolerate anyone slacking on the job!

Each group leader, take 20 new POWs

and go to your work areas!

Go!

Jong-dae!

Jun-shik!

You're alive!

I was so worried I'd never see you again

Are you okay?

I'm fine. When did you get here?

About two months ago

I rule here

Nothing for you to worry about now

Korean dog! Jong-dae Lee!

I didn't like the way you were talking

I'm sorry...

Thought I'd say that?

You damn Jap!

Dare call me a Korean dog?

Give me that

Still think I'm a damn soldier under you?

You stupid son of a bitch!

This isn't Kyung-sung or Nomonhan!

This is the great Union of Soviet Socialist Republics!

I'm the colonel here!

And I'm the king!

You got that, fool?

You got that, fool?

Got that, you damn Japs!

Colonel

Wake up, sir!

Noda

If you wanna stay alive, stay out of my sight

Hey!

So damn cold

If we don't warm him up, He'll die

Please move

Who cares?

That bastard's not even worth stomping on

I beg you

Make room for him, please

Try saving him, then It probably won't work

What are you doing! We have to save the Colonel!

Mukai! If he's a goner, bring him to the incinerator

No use watching him die Let's go

Jun-shik, have a drink

Look at that

If you get frostbitten here,

you end up being firewood like him

This is the warmest place in the whole camp

Your legs are your life Take good care of 'em

I like it here

No Japs calling me a Korean dog

We should go back when the war's over

I'm not

There's nothing

but pulling a rickshaw there

Having a drink reminds me of home

Eun-soo's probably fine, right?

I miss her

All stand!

Starting the day without bowing

towards our Emperor is contemptible

There is no exception here!

Get up!

No need. Keep eating

It's an order!

Crazy bastard

Everyone stand! Now!

Private Jun-shik Kim! Get up!

Private Kim!

We're no longer your subordinates

We were unjustly dragged and forced to become Imperial soldiers

As the Soviets can't demand reform,

you have no right to force us to bow

Remember

From now on, I'm not Private Jun-shik Kim

but the Korean marathoner Jun-shik Kim!

Crazy fool!

You want to die!

You're the crazy one who killed hundreds of soldiers!

Commit hara-kiri like Colonel Takakura!

Bastard!

Since you have the energy to fight, guess you're not hungry enough

Grudges between a Korean and a Japanese, huh?

You got your wish

Fight till one of you dies!

Kill him, Jun-shik! Hurry!

Jun-shik!

Jun-shik! Hurry!

Jun-shik!

One of us should've died

Today's the day

Colonel! The knife, sir!

Colonel! Colonel!

Jun-shik! The knife!

Kill me, Korean dog!

Kill him!

Hold it up right!

Hurry up and do it!

Stop slacking off!

When did this happen?

It's okay, Jun-shik

Don't

It's okay

Hold still

Germany invaded the Soviet Union

The Soviets may speed up exchanging POWs to reinforce their army

Number 1277!

He's one of your men

Anton! Go catch him!

Yes, sir!

It's time for frostbite examination

Where's Choon-bok?

Take him away

Gwang-choon!

No! No!

Drag him out!

Let's go!

I'm fine! I can still work, sir!

Tell 'em Jun-shik!

I want to live, Jun-shik!

Gwang-choon!

- I want to live, Jun-shik! - Gwang-choon!

I want to live, Jun-shik!

Lets Go!

Help!

Gwang-choon!

Choon-bok? Choon-bok?

You're not hiding in here, are you?

Choon-bok?

Choon-bok?

- You son of a bitch! - Shut up!

Come out, pal!

Come out!

You wanna die?

I was starving

Put the bread down and come out now

What do we do?

What do we do?

Who's there?

How dare you steal, you bastard!

He's the one

- He's the thief! - What are you doing?

Tell 'em I didn't eat it! Please Jong-dae!

Jong-dae! Jong-dae!

A rat sneaked into our food storage today

Luckily we caught him, thanks to comrade Anton

As you know, stealing is punishable by death

Jong-dae! Tell 'em I didn't eat it!

I'm scared!

Tell 'em I didn't eat the bread!

Execute him!

Jun-shik! Gwang-choon! Make it back home alive!

Is it because of this?

This is more important than a friend's life?

This is who you really are?

Call yourself human?

Yeah, I'm not human

I'm not the Jong-dae you know!

I'm Anton!

I'm Anton, you bastard!

Call me Anton from now on! Got that!

How long do you think this armband will protect you?

How could you do that to Choon-bok?

What do you know?

You don't know anything!

Shut up and stay out of my life

Do you know that Gwang-choon died?

He's probably nothing, but ashes by now

If you pull that again in front of them, I'll kill you

Your emperor abandoned you

How dare you speak of our Emperor!

POW repatriation has been denied

We showed mercy on you, but the Japanese refused

They're battling Americans in the Pacific

and have no interest in you

You expect me to believe that?

Imperial soldiers are sons of the Emperor

A father does not abandon his son

That's what you want to believe

You naive, poor, abandoned son

You will also face death in the incinerator here

It's a Kokeshi

Is your hometown Yamagata?

You're good

You know, sir? Have you been there?

My grandfather took me there when I was young

It's a beautiful place

I grew up there my whole life

My family ran a carpentry shop for generations

When I go back,

I want to be a great carpenter like my father

Do you know why I chose to be your adjutant for Nomonhan, sir?

Because I saw your firm conviction for our country in your eyes

Conviction

Look out!

Son of a bitch!

Tsukamoto!

You okay? Wake up!

I go easy on you, you cripple, and for what!

Jong-dae!

We're doing our best, too!

Your best?

I'll show you my best in beating! You son of a bitch!

You call that your best! You bastards!

This is the best!

Jong-dae Lee!

It's Anton, fool!

He's dead

Lieutenant!

What?

Never seen a man die before?

Get back to work, you bastards!

Work, you fools! Get back to work now!

You fools never listen!

Damn Jap! How dare you!

Stop it!

I told you to stay out of my way!

Damn Jap!

I gotta beat it into your head?

You bastards!

Damn Jap!

You son of bitch!

Kill 'em!

Bastards! Back to your posts!

Stop! You bastards!

There is no mercy for those who started the riot!

Begin the executions!

It's an urgent telegram, sir

Grab a uniform!

Change into now!

Germany has declared war against us

Comrade Stalin has given you too, your final calling

The choice is yours

Those who want to convert may wear Soviet army uniforms

- Go get the uniforms! Hurry! - Yes, sir

Hurry up and put it on!

Anton

This is a great opportunity for you

I hope you come back victorious

Long live the Soviet Union!

Good luck!

Comrade!

Please give them a chance, too

Let them go!

Thank you, sir! Long live the Soviet Union!

Hurry up and put it on!

Hasegawa Tatsuo This is your last chance

I'll say it one more time. Put it on.

Let's give it a good shot

It's better than freezing to death

Right, Jun-shik?

Long live the Soviet Union! Hurrah!

Bastards

The Soviet army uniform suits our colonel so well, doesn't it?

"DECEMBER, 1941 ZHEDOVSK, SOVIET UNION"

Get off! Get off, now!

Get off!

Long live the Soviet Union!

Hurrah!

Get off! Move it!

This will be a grave for the Germans' today!

Thank you, sir!

Show the cowardly Germans the valor of the Soviet army!

It's mine!

You are proud Soviet soldiers!

Jun-shik

I'll kill anyone who tries to run!

Charge ahead! Attack!

Fools!

Imperial soldier don't retreat!

Charge!

You'll need it to make it over the mountains

Where do you plan to go?

To German territory

I hope we're going the right way

I hope the snow stops

Even if we make it to German territory

it won't be easy to make it back home

You don't have to come, if you don't want to

Back then

Why didn't you kill me?

Tatsuo!

Wake up!

I'll go find some medicine

Kim...

Jun-shik Kim

I'll be right back

Help! Help me!

Help me! I'm a Japanese soldier

My friend's in danger

What's he saying?

I'm a Japanese soldier

We're on the same side!

Take him away!

I'm a Japanese soldier, not a POW!

Lets Go!

You bastard!

Help me!

A man is dying! Please!

Take him away, now!

Let go! Let go!

Tatsuo!

Tatsuo!

Lets Go!

Tatsuo!

Tatsuo!

Search every corner

You go up that way

"3 YEARS LATER"

There's word that the Allied Forces

will invade Nord-Pas-de-Calais

Then we hit the jackpot getting stationed in Normandy

If Germany loses, aren't we all dead anyways?

Think they'll take us back?

We'd be lucky if they don't call us traitors and shoot us

That's why we should run away

You said you'll run for 2 years now

I'm going for sure this time

I heard from a man in another unit

There's a secret merchant ship to Jamaica at Cherbourg Harbor

How'll you get there? Swim?

If you get caught trying to run, you'll be shot!

Wanna make a bet?

I bet 50 marks you can't run away

Bet 100 marks, stupid

Bet even your boots, you pig

"May, 1944, NORMANDY, FRANCE"

Our battalion will build additional defense walls

and defense lines in the Atlantic

From tomorrow, you will build defense walls

on the shore with unit 795

Our job is to build the defense encampment on Normandy hill

March forward! Hurry up!

Squad 3! Unit 2! Go to barracks 14!

Hey

Shouldn't you give up looking for your Korean friend?

You're the only Asian here

That guy's so lucky

He gets to go in and out of base at will

Tatsuo! Aren't you coming in?

Let's go

Go ahead, I'll rest here for a sec

See ya later, then

I thought you might be dead

But you're here in the Eastern battalion

When did you come to Normandy?

Jun-shik?

Did you say something?

Can you repeat it?

Tatsuo!

It's more comfortable this way

I can't hear gunshots or screams

It's over

Let's play soccer

Tatsuo!

We're going to play against Squad 8!

Man, they're fast

I sometimes think of when we first ran together

The day you moved in I lost coz my rubber shoes fell off,

But I was happy to have a new running mate

We came much too far

How long will it take to run home from here?

More than a year, right?

We know the Allied forces will attack Nord-Pas-de-Calais

The Eastern battalion will all be sent to Nord-Pas-de-Calais!

You will all be reborn as true German soldiers!

Pack up your gear

We move out at 09:00 hours tomorrow!

Dismissed!

We're all dead I thought we'd be safe in Normandy

What's going on?

We're being transferred

It's nothing

Sending us to battle but feeding us this rubbish

I thought we'd get wine and steak when we came to France

Damn

Karim

I'm going to Cherbourg at dawn

Are you crazy?

I got the contact info from Roman

Is Roman going?

That liar

How will you get there?

The food truck always leaves at dawn

We gotta go when you're on watch

Think it over

If you get caught, you're dead

Is it coz of your friend?

Fine

I'll see you at dawn

We're not going to Nord-Pas-de-Calais

We're going to Cherbourg

Cherbourg?

A ship there will take us home

Jun-shik

Let's go home

where your sister and father are

Can we really make it home?

We could get killed on the way

Still, we can't die here

Karim!

Karim!

Karim!

Karim!

Tatsuo!

Those aren't planes, are they?

Tatsuo!

Tatsuo!

Jun-shik!

Jun-shik!

Tatsuo!

Tatsuo! Tatsuo!

Jun-shik!

Stay there!

I'll come to you! Wait for me!

Hurry! It's an attack!

Prepare for battle!

All units to battle positions!

The Allied Forces have attacked!

To your battle positions!

Hurry and grab the machine gun!

Grab it!

Everyone to your battle positions!

Move it! Move it!

Fire!

Fire!

Jun-shik!

Jun-shik!

Tatsuo!

Are you okay? Let's get out of here, now!

Grab the machine gun! Now!

Hurry up, you fools!

Can't you see the enemy!

Reload and fire, now!

Allied forces attacked!

Send reinforcements!

Damn it

Let's run for it

Don't lag behind

You'll be watching my back as you run

Are you okay?

This won't kill me

Let's go!

Jun-shik

Come on! We have to get home!

Tatsuo

Are you okay?

Jun-shik

Jun-shik

You're Jun-shik Kim from now on

If you say you're Japanese, they might kill you

Say you were dragged here and forced into the Eastern battalion

Jun-shik! Wake up!

I have no regrets

Though I couldn't achieve my dream

You can't go like this!

Let's go home and run together!

Jun-shik

I wanted to run again when I go back home

Promise you'll make it back alive...

Jun-shik!

Jun-shik!

Jun-shik!

Jun-shik!

Jun-shik!

The runners are making their way into the stadium

The runners in the lead are making

their last spurts

with only 500 meters

left to the finishing line

Jun Shi Kim makes a surprise

strong push for the lead.

The winner of this race will be decided

in a matter of only a few seconds.

Now, only 200 meters left to the finish line

can Jun Shi Kim take the lead

and win the race?

I sometimes think of when we first ran together

The day you moved in

I was happy to have a new running mate

Ready, go!
