680 M SOUTH OF THE DEMILITARIZED ZONE

At around 1:20 a.m., three North Korean
special armed forces...

MILITARY COMMAND CENTER

crossed the Military Demarcation Line,

broke into our guard post at the border,

and took hostage of two of our soldiers
who were on guard duty.

They are continuing
their sit-in even as we speak.

Sit-in?

So they've sent three special forces
operatives to start a war?

It is meant to provoke us.

In the Demilitarized Zone,

whoever shoots first is the one violating
the armistice agreement.

Their goal is to provoke our military
to use force first,

so they have an edge in negotiating
at the six-party talks.

So what are we supposed to do?

We can't just fall for it and attack.

Nor can we just sit and watch
while our soldiers are held hostage.

We'll send them back quietly.

We've dispatched
the Special Forces Alpha team.

Stop. Move and we shoot.

I'm Captain Yoo Si-jin
of the Alpha Team.

From here on out,
our Alpha team will take over.

What are you doing?

It's the Demilitarized Zone,
so we'll resolve this with a dialogue.

This is the operation commander.

Are our soldiers inside okay?

Let's stop this now. We'll send you home.

Doesn't seem like they'll go quietly.

Let's go inside.

Big Boss transmitting.

I'm going in with Wolf.

Piccolo transmitting.

Position secured.

Snoopy transmitting. Explosives in place.

Operation on standby with Harry Potter.

We're using explosives?

Then what do we do about those two?

It's our last resort in case
the negotiation fails.

Open the door.

Stop this and just go.

It'll only get more complicated
come morning.

Leave while we still let you.

Not so fast.

As a warrior of the Republic,
we can't leave without a good go

at some South Korean special forces

Fine.

Let's do this.

You naturally hold the knife
with your right hand, don't you?

Comrade, you won't be able to kill me.

South Korea cares so much
about the many eyes watching

that you can't shoot first.

We, the Republic, are different.

Seventy years since the division,
yet we still have our misunderstandings.

If it's to protect the peace,

we will shoot precisely,
whenever, wherever.

Let's not make any more mistakes.

I don't interfere
when an enemy makes a mistake.

I can't come as a warrior
and leave as a casualty.

Put it down.

It was nice meeting you,

Captain Yoo Si-jin.

Likewise.

But let's not make this an annual event,
Senior Lieutenant An Jeong-jun.

Let's go.

Big Boss transmitting.

Alpha team has resolved the situation.

EPISODE 1

Did you shoot with your eyes closed?

Your rank is Private...

Doesn't this gun's barrel look like it's
a bit twisted?

I can't adjust the clicker or the sight.

It's rubbish.

One more round?

This...

Can't I adjust the clicker?

Hey!

You can't just mess with it so carelessly!

This is the same model
the American Delta Force team used

in the desert war.

If you treat it
like the ones you used in the military

it's going to break.

This isn't the same model.

Thief! It's a thief! Hey!

Hey! Catch that thief!
He's a thief. Catch him!

He's coming this way.

I'll borrow this real quick.

But we're on our break!

It's a toy gun, so we have a short range.
About five meters.

He's about 10 meters away.

Seven meters.

Guys, that’s dangerous!

Five meters.

Now.

The motorcycle is fine.

Did you call the police?

It's fine.

Calling the police over a coupon thief
is more bother than it's worth.

Anyway, his injury has
nothing to do with me,

so don't get me involved.

Okay?

Hello, we have a victim
of a motorcycle accident here.

It's okay. It doesn't hurt.

Lie down.

One wrong move and you could be stuck
with a lifelong spinal injury.

What are you doing now?

Providing first aid
after an act of social justice.

Let me buy two
of those stuffed animals.

Those aren't for sale.

Just sell them to me.

Or else I'll win them all.

Oh, and lend me a marker
if you have one.

A marker?

Your girlfriend is super pretty.

I think she's the one.

Yours fits you very well, too.

This one's a fellow soldier.

Why...

Why would you accept these?

He looked so sincere when he asked us
never to return. How could I not?

How can you be so tough in war
with such a soft heart?

Just when you think you know someone...

That kid from earlier...
I wonder if he'll be okay.

He knew how to do a side break fall
when falling from the motorcycle.

He looked like an athlete. He'll be fine.

I was that age once, too.

Good teammates are crucial for athletes.

Why?

Does it bother you?

Because it reminds
you of your dark past?

I do feel bad for him.

When you were that age,
did you do a lot of bad things?

I was the one who gave the orders.

You make yourself out to be
a film noir character,

but that "poor kid" is a criminal.

You're cruel.

Look at you.

Is it the unit?

It is a unit...

but not ours.

YOON MYEONG-JU

-Don't pick up.
-I'm going to pick up.

I'm going to pick up
and call her here,

so meet her
and take care of it like a man!

I'll buy you dinner.

Nah, I make enough to buy my own dinner.

Whiskey, 17 years.

If it's 17 years old, it's still a minor!

A date with my cousin, works with planes.

Air Force?

Flight attendant.

Pics of her colleagues
on her social media.

So you've been hiding this desirable
family member all this time?

Give me your phone already.

Hurry, hurry.

Are you playing me?

Why are you only looking at places
where there aren't any pockets?

Earlier...

Are you okay?

Excuse me.

Is this the patient?

Yes, we did emergency first aid, but...

You're saying you got pick-pocketed?

-I'm gonna get this kid...
-You said you felt bad.

Where did they say the hospital was?

What's happening?

Take these off, I look ridiculous.

Don't move.
We'll move him inside like this.

Excuse me, sir.

Really, nothing hurts.

Excuse me.

It's the patient's.

Oh, okay.

Thank you.

YOON MYEONG-JU

Hello?

No, this is the Haesung Hospital
emergency room.

The phone owner was brought in
for a motorcycle accident.

Are you the guardian?

This is the patient.

There's a chart here.

Who wrote this?

The ones who made me like this.

Please take this off of me, seriously.

I will, so don't move.

Please change this to one of ours.

Yes.

Whoever did the first aid
did an extremely good job.

Cute and sturdy.

Let's see.

Suspected rib fracture...

Yup, that's a rib fracture.

Your ankle...

Right, an ankle sprain.

-Are you a thief?
-What?

It says so right here.

"Thief."

"Treat as painfully as possible."

What are you saying? I'm the victim.

Talk to your insurance company.

We'll have to take an X-ray to examine
your ribs and your ankle.

Doctor Kang, the chief is calling.

Oh, right.
Let me know when you get the X-ray.

Here's your phone.

Your guardian called, so I answered.

You have to wait a while for the X-ray,
so stay here for now.

I got totally screwed over.

I got shot while getting away.

That's not all.

It's a long story.

For now...

Get over here with the motorcycle.

I finished organizing
the research for your paper.

Great work.

Was it of any help to your studies?

Yes, it helped a lot with my studies.

You did a good job
organizing the charts too.

All that's left is the interview
for the professor position, right?

Yes, I've been preparing...

well.

Oh, sorry.
A patient is running away...

Someone's running away without paying
for their treatment?

He hasn't received treatment yet.
If you're done--

Okay, go catch him quickly.
He should be treated.

Medicine is a benevolent art, after all.

Well then, I'll get going.

Nurse Choi.

Yes?

Where did this patient go?

He was here just a moment ago.

I said I really have to go.

If I stay, I'll only make more noise
for the entire hospital.

He ran away?

You didn't see that?

I'm sorry.

He crossed the parking lot.
Look, his ankle's swollen.

Ugh, this is so frustrating.

If I get caught by my big brothers,

I won't be lying in the emergency room,
I'll be in the mortuary.

What right does the hospital have
to hold me here?

Isn't it up to the customer to decide?

It's not by right,
but by obligation, customer.

If you're going to go,

sign a treatment waiver
and pay at the desk before you leave.

Excuse me?

Why would I pay?

I didn't have anything done here.

You met with a doctor.
You need to pay the consultation fee.

-And if I refuse?
-We'll call the police.

These people, really...

Fine!
My friend is supposed to come anyway,

so I can lie down until he gets here.

The bed is the other way, customer.

I'm going to the bathroom.

You expect us to believe that?

I won't run away, okay?

I'll leave my cell phone.

I'll burn this place down. Let go!

Ugh, such shitty luck.

Wow, that little punk.

Big Boss?

Are you kidding?

All these kids need to go to the military
so they can learn a lesson.

-Let's get back to work.
-Okay.

He's not picking up.

If I catch him, he's dead.

Is that why you are scoping out
the location of the funeral hall first?

Ah, what a meticulous person.

Emergency room's this way.

I'm coming.

I came out. Where are you?

Are you here?

This will sting.

I am going to suture,
so please prepare a 3-0 nylon.

Okay.

Excuse me.

Hello?

Hello?

BIG BOSS

Mr. Big Boss?

Ah, yes.

But why do you have that phone?

The patient left his phone with me.

Are you his guardian?

I'm not,
but I'm the guardian of the phone--

No feeling, right? We'll stitch it up.

Where did the motorcycle patient go?

Oh! Why isn't he there?

Did he go to the X-ray room?

Who am I speaking with right now?

Are you the big brothers
who wanted to send him to the mortuary?

The mortuary?

There's a misunderstanding--

Nurse Choi,
tell these men to go wait outside.

Tell the security team to make sure
they aren't causing trouble.

Now.

You can't be here.
Please go wait over there.

-Wait.
-Hurry.

Seeing as he left the phone,
it looks like he ran away.

Yes, it does seem he ran away.

Let's go look for him outside.

He couldn't have gone far.

Yes, he probably didn't go far.

You should go.

Ow, my stomach!

My stomach...
I think it's my appendix.

-The appendix isn't there.
-Ah, it's over here.

Man, what's going on?

You were right before. It's the other side.

Wow, this kid.

Let's go.

They look like gangsters.

The boss and his right-hand man.

Did I push them too hard?

Don't worry.
I'm better with a knife than they are.

Do we know where we're going?

I have a place in mind.

Earlier, there were guys
that looked like gangsters.

Do you have to get your phone back?

They look like they're good at fighting.

There's a reason I need to get it back.

What's that?

Is there something
you don't want others to see?

Not very honorable.

But something good?

Yes.

Hey, you guys over there!

Everyone, stop what you are doing!

Who are you guys?

Just keep walking.

Don't interfere with a funeral.

We have some business with him.

Then get in line.

You fucking passerby.

Please save me this once.

Hey, did you steal their phones too?

What's the reason?
Why are you getting beaten up?

Please save me this once...

I'll return the phone I stole right away.

Hey, look at how many of them there are.

You think this is fair?

Gi-beom said he wanted to leave the gang
and they asked for a withdrawal fee.

Five million won.

Withdrawal fee? Wait.

Is this normal for these gangster dudes?

Steep inflation since my days.

So you're one of us?

He's got nothing to cough up, anyway.

How about you and I settle this?

That's a good idea. Settle it with me.

If money is the issue,
let's settle it with money.

I have a lot of money.

Whoever has the guts can take this.
It's all yours then.

-Really?
-Seriously?

Please stay out of this.

I mean it.

I'm his brother.

What's your name, again?

Gi-beom. Kim Gi-beom.

I am Gi-beom's brother.

If you can take this wallet,
I'll give you the withdrawal fee.

Try and take it.

You're dead if it's empty.

Wow, you even carry around knives?

This won't do.
There's nothing good about this gang.

Let's break it up.

If you've got knives, drop them.

If you've got guns, drop them.

All at once.

Hey, we outnumber them.
We have a shot.

Take out all your knives.

Why did you have to say that?

I'm regretting it now.

At least there aren't any guns.

Everyone, attack!

Will you take a look here?

There seems to be
an issue with the lung.

That motorcycle patient...

I think he ran away again.

But his guardian is here.

Again?

Where is his guardian?

Yoon Myeong-ju?

Senior Kang Mo-yeon?

Are you this patient's guardian?

Are you his doctor?

Where is the patient?

Let me see the chart first.

Why?
This isn't your hospital or your patient.

We always seem to meet
when there's a man between us.

I don't have time for jokes.

Just give me the chart, please.

He's important to me.

Important?

Is he badly hurt?

How do you not know
where your patient is?

Where did the patient go?

Precisely my question.

It seems this important person
of yours ran away without paying.

So why don't you pay his bills
while you are here?

Call security and tell them to search
the men's room.

Even if you don't find him,
get the payment from his guardian here.

You just leave like that?

Talk to Nurse Choi over here.

We've kept an unwilling patient
twice already.

I think we've done our part.

I'm busy, bye.

Where's the men's room?

There.

Guess what?

Yoon Myeong-ju's in the ER.

Yoon Myeong-ju?
The one from the military academy?

Yeah, the military bitch
who interned with us

for outsourced training or whatever!

Yeah, that pretty medical officer
who stole your crush.

Hey, who are you calling pretty?

Big eyes? Nice nose?
That's what makes you pretty?

That's what makes a pretty face?

Plus, it's all makeup.

-She's pretty without it too.
-Without--

And she never went out with him.

All past emotions aside,
why's she in the ER? Is she hurt?

No, her boyfriend was hurt.

But no matter how you look at it,
the boyfriend was at most 20 years old.

Is she crazy?

What are you talking about?
Her boyfriend's a soldier.

What soldier? He's got long hair.

He is a soldier.

Their story's famous among her colleagues.

Her boyfriend is a noncom.

A noncom?

What's that?

Military ranks like Sergeant,
Staff Sergeant, First Sergeant, you idiot.

Isn't it more weird
that you would know that?

Anyway, her boyfriend is a First Sergeant
and took the GED.

But she's an academy officer,
a medical officer at that

and her dad is a three-star general.

That can't be smooth sailing.

Really?

Then, who's the one
who left his phone and ran?

What happened to him?

Nurse Choi!
Call Doctor Kang, now!

There was a little accident.

What happened?

I heard you were hurt, but you look fine.

Follow me.

What happened to him?

Something came up.

An unfortunate accident nearby.

This isn't an accident. It's an assault.

You two adults did this to a kid?

What the...

Patient, who did this to you?
Did he do this to you?

No.

He saved me.

Patient, this is the hospital,
so it's okay.

We have security,
so you can tell the truth.

Did this person hit you?

Ugh, I already told you he didn't hit me.

You won't believe it
no matter what he says, will you?

I'll give you painkillers
and we'll take some X-rays.

Nurse Ha, after his dressing--

Don't worry.
I'll take him there myself.

Nurse Choi, call security.
I'm gonna go and check the CCTV.

And I'll call the police.

Hey, wait a minute.

Hey, wait a minute!

Get out.

I will,
once we clear up this misunderstanding.

Everything that kid said is true.
That kid--

Is that patient your kid?

Your patient stole my colleague's phone,
so we came to find his phone.

Then we saw him getting beat up,
so we saved him.

You saved the thief
that stole your phone?

It'd make more sense
to have beaten him to death.

Yes, is this 112?
This is Haesung Hospital's Emergency--

EMERGENCY

What are you doing?

I'll be straight forward with you.

Calling the police is problematic.

Is it?

Give me the phone.

To be honest, we're soldiers.

We're soldiers on leave.

If we are entangled in an assault case,
it becomes a bit of a bother.

We'd have to write reports and all that.

I ask for your cooperation.

Why should I cooperate with you?

What do I care
if you're a soldier or a thug?

Give the phone back.

Every male in the Republic of Korea
has this, so this isn't convincing.

This...

If you say this is forged,
there's nothing I can say.

Where did you go to school?

This is Haesung Hospital,
are you from Myeongin University?

Why do you ask?

Do you know Yoon Myeong-ju?
You should be from similar years.

How do you know her?

Are you by chance...

First Sergeant, Staff Sergeant,
Sergeant...

There was something else...

-Sheriff.
-Ah, yes, Sheriff.

Are you that person?

I'm not that person, but come with me.

Someone will confirm my identity.

It's been a very long time.

Yes, ma'am.

It must've been quite an effort
trying to avoid me,

yet you're looking good.

Yes, ma'am.

When will we be able to speak
without ranks and honorifics?

Or would you just ignore me completely
if we removed the ranks?

Yes, ma'am.

I'm really gonna kill you.
How long are you gonna avoid me?

Why won't you answer my calls?

You wouldn't even let me confirm
if you were alive.

How long will you continue to run away?

Answer me!

I'm not asking you because I don't know.

Just...

at least let me hear you say it.

It's not because of what you think.

I hope you won't assume
I left because of you, ma'am.

I had a change of heart.

I can't put that any other way.

That's all.

-I don't believe you.
-If you're done--

-Don't be like this.
-I'll be going.

Don't you dare.

Stop.

Seo Dae-yeong, stop.

Sergeant Seo Dae-yeong.

How dare you leave
without saluting to your superior?

Stand as you are.

Stand there all night.

Stand there until you die.

I’m never going to accept your salute.

You...

This is considered hazing.

I'm training a cowardly soldier.

What do you need?

I'm a dishonored soldier
in need of vindication.

Can you verify our identity
to this person here?

She's not gonna believe me.

An acquaintance is more convincing
than a stranger, so tell me.

Is that right?

Then, report these two people
to the police.

They're runaway soldiers.

Hey, you troublemaker!

I wish you'd return my cellphone.

Your identity has been confirmed.

Please return it to him.

With the way things have unfolded,
I'll have to look at this phone later.

No more misunderstandings then?

Your identity's been confirmed.
The assault is something else.

Follow me.

It'll take about five minutes to find it.
Please wait here.

Yes.

How do you know Myeong-ju?

I'm her senior from military academy.

You confirmed our identity.
Did you have to ask for more?

I already look like a terrible liar.

Murderers generally look approachable.

That does seem true.

Don't give me a straight face now.

That scares me. It's just us two here.

Don't worry.

It's my principle to always protect
beauties, elders, and children.

That's a relief,
since I fit into one of those three.

No, you don't.

As an elder!

So, Mr. Big Boss...

what's your name?

Yoo Si-jin.

And you?

Kang Mo-yeon.

Nice to meet you.

Don't act friendly.

I think you just made eye contact with me.

What sport did you do?

I did judo
until my second year of high school.

Why were you just getting hit earlier?

To get it over with quicker.

How did you know
I trained in something anyway?

By the way you were getting hit.

You learn how to get hit
before you learn how to hit.

I did Taekwondo.

-Elementary, middle, and high school.
-Were you good at it?

I earned a gold medal,

and...

Patient Kim Gi-beom,
is your guardian here yet?

-We need to admit you as an inpatient.
-I don't have one.

He has a guardian.

Oh, my gosh!

Oh, gosh!

That's right, just like that!

Yes!

That's good! Yes!

That's it!

We confirmed the situation.

I'm sorry for the misunderstanding.

If you're sorry,

can you treat where I really am hurt?

Where are you hurt?

Here.

Here?

You exaggerate too much.

I'm not exaggerating.

It looks like your stitches opened up
from fighting earlier.

When did you get hurt?

A few days ago.

How did it happen?

While I was shoveling with my unit.

A soldier's best friend, a shovel.

Is that right?

What a strange unit...
getting shot while shoveling.

This is a gunshot wound.

You've seen a gunshot wound before?

Of course not in Korea,

but I seen them
when I volunteered in Africa.

I'll say this since you already know

but this is actually...

a wound I got in Normandy.

The bullets were
pouring down like rain then.

I went through the bullets
to save my fellow soldier.

Yes, I did.

Was that soldier's name...

Private Ryan?

The suture is done.

The stitches can be removed after a week,

but you'll need to keep
the area sanitized until then.

-There's a hospital in the army, right?
-Can I come here?

-Isn't this far?
-It is.

Can I come every day?

Every day is too often.
Maybe three times a week?

Come four times a week
and you might get better quickly.

Are you agreeing to be my doctor?

You're just sanitizing a wound.
Is it important who the doctor is?

It's important.

Most of all,
the beauty of the doctor concerned.

In that case,
you won't find anyone better.

I'll make you an appointment.
Come at 2 p.m..

As a doctor, you must not have
a boyfriend, since you're busy.

As a soldier, you must not have
a girlfriend, since it's so tough.

Who answers the question?

Is this one better or this one?

Try the right one again.

Where are you going looking so pretty?

Haesung Hospital
the day after tomorrow.

-About my wound.
-The medical corp is right here,

but he'll travel hours
just to get a wound cleaned.

Physical strength is national strength.

To have a strong body and heart
to defend the Motherland,

I need to receive my treatment
at Haesung Hospital.

It has the best facility
and team in Korea.

The doctor is pretty.

No pretty doctors at the medical corp.

Yes, there are.

Oh, I know her too!
First lieutenant Yoon Myeong-ju, right?

Wow, she is gorgeous.

She got dumped pretty bad
by the guy that she was dating.

Whoever that bastard is,
I want to see his face.

Why are you guys doing this?

Hey, why trade your life
to satisfy your curiosity?

Did I trade something?

I am going to Haesung Hospital
the day after tomorrow, too.

Please give me a ride.

Why are you going?

The hospitalization fees are settled.

It's not like a soldier gets
paid that well.

Take care of your body.

If you're going to do something bad,
don't do it in front of me.

I'm off for my treatment.

Be sure to take your medicine regularly,
and eat before you take it.

I'm grateful that you paid for me,

but I can't pay you back.

And don’t use this as an excuse to preach
some lesson either.

I don't plan to.

Go. I'm going.

Excuse me.

I'm sorry for stealing your phone.

Okay, I got it.

Excuse me.

Getting beat up doesn't work,
and giving them money doesn't either.

So how did you get out?

I escaped to a place
they could never follow.

Where is that?

Please get out of the way!

Nurse Ha, we probably need more blood.

I'll prepare five more.

Please move!

What are you doing? Speed up!

OPERATING ROOM

CURRENT TIME 12:27
SURGEON KANG MO-YEON

CURRENT TIME 18:04

Hello?

Yoo Si-jin?

It's Kang Mo-yeon.

You finished the surgery?

Yes, I heard you came and left?

This is my first time
being blown off by a doctor.

There was an urgent operation.

-Did she survive?
-What?

The patient who had the operation.

Yes, we saved her.

You're amazing.

Is this your personal number?

Yes.

So you've got my number.

Save my number, too.

I want to see you tomorrow for sure.

Are you normally so straightforward?

I meant I really want to get
treatment tomorrow.

Of course.

That's what I meant, too.

I don't think so...

It’s not good to not trust your physician.

Did you take your medication?

If I don't take my medicine,
will it get worse?

Could I be hospitalized or something?

What time is good for you tomorrow?

Actually,

do you want to meet now?

Is that a no?

It's not. Please come.

AFGHANISTAN:
TWO U.N. EMPLOYEES KIDNAPPED

Solidarity!

Current location is Gangnam, Seoul.
Haesung Hospital.

Yes, I'll be waiting.

Yes, I understand.

Are you here?

Yes, but something came up,
so I'm on my way back.

You're leaving?
Where are you right now?

The rooftop.

The rooftop? Which rooftop?

What are you doing here?

I'm sorry.

But I have to blow you off this time.

It must be an emergency.
You should go to downstairs--

No.

It's here for me.

You?

Why?

Did a war break out?

Somewhere, yes.

But it's not here, so don't worry.

Then what is a helicopter
coming to get you for?

I'll explain it later,
but make me a promise in the meantime.

Let's meet next weekend,
not at the hospital, but someplace else.

-Aren't you coming for treatment?
-I'll come back healthy.

Let's watch a movie together.

Hurry. I don't have much time.

Is that a yes or a no?

Yes, I'd like to.

That's a promise.

We have now reached the operation area.
We are now on a tactical flight.

-How far have we gone?
-We've been flying for seven hours.

-Then the destination is...
-Yes.

-Harry Potter.
-Sergeant Gong Cheol-ho.

The mosquitoes here are the worst.
Watch out.

Yes, sir.

But why are we taking off our ID tags?

In case we are killed,

we need to be unidentifiable.

Where are we right now?

Afghanistan.

This isn't sparring. It's real.

He may die and he may kill.

Did you think of me?

Of course. How about you?

I did, a lot.

I really didn't want to call, but...

Aren't you ashamed?
Aren't you embarrassed?

We've decided to send the Alpha Team.

To where?

I am thinking of Professor Kang
as the volunteer team leader.

We found an explosive in zone B4.

So you do things that can get you killed.
