Wait!

Let's move.

Originally Aired on 11/13/1991

- Hurry up.
- All right.

Quick!

You didn't make it.
Harim Jang!

Yes, Sir.

Let's go.

Why are you doing that?

There must be a reason why you
act like that all the time.



Forget smoking when you should
worry about shooting,

or wasting radio communications
on your silly bullshit,

now you even get all fussy
over a damned rat?

Harim Jang.
Shut up.

We're the only Joseon men here.

And I'm here to join the
independence movement.

What did you come here for?

Go!

Are you really from Joseon?

Do you even care about our
struggle for independence?

- Let's go!
- How can you act like this?

You're quite the dilemma.

I wonder if I should beat some
healthy patriotism into you,

or just make a bloody mess out of you.



I don't know.

He's got excellent potential,
every trainer agrees on that.

Superb in communication,
information, guerrilla warfare...

Problem is,

Harim himself is not active in the training.

Do you know why?

Try it this way.

Okay?

Thank you.

So called "taste" is kinda funny.

I didn't know the taste of coffee before,

however, nowadays I feel like drinking
a cup of coffee after every meal.

So what's wrong with that?

- When did you come?
- This morning.

How's the baby?

Fine.

How's Yeook?

She's here in China.

She came with me a month ago.

Where is she now?

You have a lot of potential.
But you're not cutting it.

It makes me feel awfully awkward,
because I'm the one that recommended you.

Where are the two of them?

You know, we're thinking about training
Korean freedom fighters here now.

That is, after we evaluate your
training and your results.

It means you're the test case.

You do understand that it's not
just training we offer?!

It's also arms, so perhaps you'll think
more seriously about your mission,

since your country is involved.

Why did you bring her to China?

Same reason why we brought you here.

She's participating in a training
program somewhere.

What?! How come?

Don't you know what kind of suffering
she's been going through up to now?

What kind of things do you
really want her to do?

What would you have me do?

She doesn't have a country
to go back to.

If I were you, I wouldn't rest until
I took my country back for her!

There are thousands of Jewish women
and children murdered every day.

My wife and children included.

As a Jew,
I have but one thing to do.

That's to retake my country!

Don't you feel the same?

I'll be damned.

Don't you know you can't
smoke while on duty?

Want to lose points again?

I had no such thing as a country
from the very first day I was born.

Isn't it laughable?

Going through all this hell for a country
that's never meant a thing to me.

I was even punished for speaking our
language, back in my school days.

And when I came of age, they dragged me
into the army because I was from "Chosen."

And because I was "Chosen scum,"
I was treated like a beast.

So, what, you feel wronged?

The place you can't run away
from even if you want to,

because you'd have nowhere to go.

That place you try to forsake
but never can.

Is that the country people talk about?

- 101st OSS -
Kunming, China

Okay, now.

Now!

I didn't say try to kill me.
Just take a chance.

Shit... Don't you understand?
The only good defense is offense!

You only get one chance, and it makes the
difference between life and death!

Come on, attack!
Come on!

Once more, attack me.

Attack!
Come on, try.

Come on, fight!
Attack me.

Come on!
Attack!

Try once more.

Come on!

Can I talk to you for a minute?

I want to talk to you!

- How is everything here?
- Let me see my baby, please.

He's fine... Don't worry.

You don't have any right
to do this to me.

I just said I would help you.

I'm just helping you,
I'm not a prisoner.

I don't think you understand.

This is for you.

Everything we're doing here,
your training...

It's to help you survive.

If it's difficult now,
it'll be safe for you later on.

No. I don't want it.
Do you understand?

I don't want it.

Let me go!
I will go away with my baby!

That's not as easy as you might think.

You know too much about
what we're doing here.

It's a highly classified operation.

All right. What is for me
after all this training?

You wouldn't be here if there
wasn't something in it for you.

You will not be able to order
me to do anything for you.

I've been to Shanghai.
Heard about your father.

The timing's not right.
I can't let you go there yet.

We've got too much invested in you.

If something happened,
it would be too great a loss.

Then...

I promise.

After your training,
then I'll let you go.

My baby...

Is he looking for his mother?

The 111th army of Kwangdonggun*
has already withdrawn from China...

{\a6}*Kwantung Army spelled in Korean

to the Joseon peninsula.

According to our intelligence, they've
been restationed down here in Jeju Island.

If that's true,
we face a very awkward situation.

We intend to land in Japan through
one of two possible routes.

Either to the south of Kyushu,
via Okinawa,

or to the north of Kyushu,
via Jeju Island.

In either case, we have to do everything
within our power to ensure...

that the allied forces sustain the
least number of casualties.

That's our mission.

Your mission is to infiltrate
Jeju Island somewhere here.

Once you're there, you'll be responsible
for finding best possible landing sites,

as well as finding the Japanese
capability for a counterattack.

Just in case we decide to land there.

How many days can we have
to accomplish the mission?

By June 10th.
That's ten days from today.

Let's say... If we'll parachute
down to Jeju Island right now this evening,

even then, it'd take at least a month to get
the necessary and accurate information.

Unless you go into their headquarters
and get the direct report from them.

You're absolutely right.

A direct report from them would most definitely
be the fastest and the most accurate way.

The 121st army of Kwangdonggun here
in Harbin has already started to move.

Again, we assume that they
are heading to Jeju Island.

An advance unit consisting of a chief of
staff and one aide has already departed.

You would agree that a chief
of staff and a top aide...

would receive the best and the most
accurate information about...

the Japanese army in Jeju Island,
wouldn't you?

They are due to pass this area
sometime tomorrow evening.

- Meiji Line, China -

Your tickets, please.
Thank you.

Your tickets.

Excuse me.
Your tickets, please.

What is it?

I guess this suited me better,
you know...

- Shanghai -

It's not wise to meet this way.

I still haven't gained their trust.

And how long will this go on?

If Noh Ilyoung leaves Shanghai,
we won't get any more chances.

I didn't get to see anyone,
let along Noh Ilyoung.

You couldn't even find out
where he's staying?

Now that's strange.

If he's in Shanghai, there's no way
he wouldn't meet with Yoon...

Daechi, you're not telling me
you're just hesitating, are you?

- Going out with the rickshaw?
- Yes.

How can an alleged independence
fighter do that kind of work?

- I'll get going.
- Ever heard of Noh Ilyoung?

Seems like he's looking for
young Joseon men.

To entrust them something
of crucial importance.

That's it.
Try this on.

Thank you,
that'd be enough.

I've been told Noh Ilyoung is as
far to the right as one can get?

By whom?

I've heard it once,
when Kim Gimun...

- When he was with me.
- Far to the right, far to the left...

Communists, nationalists.

Those are just fleeting ideologies,
like a wave.

Take a look at the sea.

It seems like such a conflict of waves
and currents on the surface,

but isn't it the same body
of water, after all?

Just like we are one people,
making up that sea we call country.

You shouldn't be swept away by
the tide or those waves.

What is most important for us is
finding that sea we lost sight of.

Conflicts over ideology can
always come later.

But isn't the kind of sovereign state
people like Noh Ilyoung want to build...

just an excuse to establish capitalism?

Doesn't capitalism create a ruthless jungle
where the strong exploit the weak?

Did Kim Gimun tell you that?

Was he wrong?

You've got nice hands.
Full of strength and courage.

You're like a son-in-law to me.
No... Like a son.

And I can only hope my son
will share my views.

When time will allow it, we'll talk about
Marxism and what I think about it.

Before I die, I will.
I've got plenty of things to tell you.

- My name is Noh Ilyoung.
- I'm Choi Daechi.

Yoon Seonsaeng spared
no praise about you.

So you once had an
interest in communism?

How about now?

What are you referring to?

Did you finally realize how
limited communism can be?

If I merely answered yes,
would you believe me?

It's just that there have been precedents.

You know how much harm those fighting
for a so-called "communist revolution"...

have brought upon our independence struggle?

These are the same people who even
pointed guns at fellow Joseon men,

and just because they were at
odds with their revolution.

What should I do to convince you?

Were you really involved in what
happened to Tokyo Trading?

It's gained quite the reputation
among young communists...

What did you use all that money for?

To fund Mao Zedong's revolution?

- I must have been mistaken.
- Indeed.

Indeed you have.

What Yoon Seonsaeng told me was that
independence is all that matters,

and that petty ideological conflicts
among ourselves were foolish.

For a second, I actually believed him.

For an ever so short second.

- Choi Daechi, where are you going?
- Let him go.

I'll leave this place by tomorrow, anyway.

One, two, three, four.
Here you go, Sir.

Yeook is my name.
Yoon Yeook.

So don't forget it.

I'm pregnant.

My father's name is Yoon Hongcheol.

Will you remember that?

I'm grateful for everything you
did to help my daughter.

In the name of the Father,
the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace.
The Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou amongst women,
And blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
