Descendants of the Sun (Tae-yang-eui hoo-ye) (2016) s01e01 Episode Script

Episode 1

1 (680m south of the DMZ Military Demarcation Line) At about 01:00, three North Korean Special Force operatives crossed the DMZ Military Demarcation Line.
They raided Guard Post 301 and took two of our soldiers into hostage.
They are currently on strike.
On strike? Did they send three men over to start a war or something? It's a provocation for the sake of provoking.
The first one to fire within the DMZ is in breach of the armistice agreement.
North Korea hopes to provoke us into firing, so they can use it to negotiate a better deal in the upcoming six-party talks.
What should we do, then? We can't give in to their ploy, but then we can't ignore the fact that two of our own are being held hostage.
We must send them back quietly.
I dispatched Special Forces, Team Alpha already.
Halt, or I'll shoot.
I'm Yoo Si Jin, Captain of Team Alpha.
As of this moment, we'll take the control.
What are you doing? We're in the DMZ.
So it's best to talk it out.
I'm the Captain in command.
Are the South Koreans unharmed? Let's put an end to this.
We'll send you home.
I doubt they'll give up that easily.
Let's move in.
Big Boss to Command.
We're going in.
Piccolo.
I have a visual.
The explosives are in place.
Harry Potter's on standby.
Explosives? What about those two? It's the last resort, in case the talks fail.
We'll open a path for your retreat.
Go home now.
It'll get complicated once dawn breaks.
Leave while we're letting you.
We can't just leave.
I need to kill a few of you, Special Forces as a warrior.
Okay, then.
Let's fight.
You used to hold it in your right hand.
I don't think you can kill me.
People in your country are conscious of the eyes of others.
So you can't shoot first.
But we are different.
We've been divided for 70 years but you still have a misunderstanding.
We are always ready to shoot first for keeping the peace.
I don't want you to make another mistake.
I never interrupt my enemy when they are making mistakes.
I came here as a warrior.
I should go back in the same way.
Put it down.
I was glad to see you.
Captain Yoo Si Jin.
I know you were.
But I don't want you to see you every year.
Senior Lieutenant Ahn Jung Joon.
Let's go.
Big Boss to Command.
Team Alpha.
It is all done.
(Descendants of the Sun, Episode 1) Did you shoot with your eyes closed? Your rank is Private.
Isn't the gun barrel straight? I can't adjust the clip and zeroing.
This is useless.
Do you want to play another round? Excuse me.
- Can't you adjust the clip? - Oh no! You can't play around with the gun.
This is the gun that Delta Force of the U.
S.
used in a Desert War.
It is different from what you played around when you were in the army.
No, it's not.
Stop! thief! He's a thief! Thief! Stop him! Stop him, please! He is coming this way.
Let me borrow this gun.
We are off duty now.
Move! This toy gun has a short effective range.
It would be about 5m.
He is about 10m away.
7m.
Guys, move to the side.
5m.
Now.
The bike seems fine.
Did you call the police? I don't want to.
I don't want to call the police just for some coupons.
Anyway, I have nothing to do with him being injured.
Don't ever call me because of him.
Okay? Hello.
There is a motorcycle accident.
I'm okay.
It doesn't hurt.
Just lie down.
You can injure your spine if you keep moving.
What are you doing? This is all for making a better society.
And now I'm giving the first aid.
Can I buy two stuffed bears over there? That one? They are not for sale.
I know.
Just sell them to me.
Otherwise, I will win all the stuffed bears you have.
One more thing.
Get me a pen if you have one.
A pen? Your girlfriend is very pretty.
I think she is my ideal type.
Your girlfriend looks good, too.
He is my fellow soldier.
I mean why on earth did you take them? He begged us to have them and never come back.
What could I do? How can you go to war when you are so weak-hearted? I can never understand him.
Do you think he will be okay? I think he knows side sacrifice projections.
He is athletic.
He will be okay.
I was at his age once.
You should meet a good mentor if you want to be an athlete.
Why? It still weighs on your mind? Does it remind you of the dark days? I just feel bad for him.
When you were at his age, did you do bad things a lot? I made people do bad things.
You were a main character in a noir film and you made that poor boy a villain in a crime film.
You are cruel.
Look at that.
Is it from Battalion? Yes, it is.
But it is not from our Battalion.
Don't answer the call.
I will.
I will answer it and call her here.
Be a man.
You should meet her and break up with her.
I will buy you dinner.
Steak.
I get paid enough to pay my own dinner.
I will buy you 17-year-old whisky.
17-year-old? It is minor.
I will set you up on a blind date.
My cousin works on a plane.
Is she an air-force? She is a flight attendant.
And she has many friends.
Why didn't you tell me about your cousin sooner? Give me your phone.
Give it to me.
Are you kidding me? Why are you fumbling in empty pockets? Earlier on Are you all right? Excuse me.
Is this him? Yes.
I just gave him the first aid.
Don't tell me you've been robbed.
I'm going to kill that little I thought you felt sorry for him.
Which hospital did they take him? Goodness.
Oh, my.
Gently, please.
I told you to take this off me.
This is embarrassing.
Please, don't move.
We'll take him inside like this.
I told you that I'm fine.
Excuse me, I'm really all right.
Excuse me.
- He dropped this.
- Okay.
Thank you.
(Yoon Myeong Ju) Hello? No, this is the emergency room at Haesung hospital.
The owner of this phone has been in a motorcycle accident.
Are you his family? He has been in a motorcycle accident.
Here's the medical chart.
(He is suspected of rib fracture and ankle sprain.
) Who wrote this? The people who did this to me.
Get this off me.
Okay.
Don't move.
Please change it to one of the hospital's.
Okay.
Whoever gave the first aid did well.
It's both skilful and pretty.
Let me see.
Suspected rib fracture.
Yes, it's a fracture.
And your ankle.
My goodness.
It is an ankle sprain.
Are you a thief? What? It's what it says here, that you're a thief.
And it also says to give you the most painful treatment if possible.
What are you talking about? I'm the victim.
Consult your insurance company about that, then.
Since we need to take a look at your ribs and ankle, we need to take an x-ray first.
Doctor, the chief needs to see you.
Oh, I forgot.
Call me when the result of the x-ray is out.
Okay.
Goodness.
Here's your phone.
I took a call for you.
Since there's some time before you can take the x-ray, please wait here.
Yes.
I messed up bad.
I got shot for stealing a money bag.
No, that's not it.
It's a long story.
First Gosh.
Bring your motorcycle here.
I've finished preparing the materials for your thesis.
Great, thank you.
I hope it helped with your studies.
Yes, it was a great help.
The charts are all neatly arranged.
Do you have still have an interview left for the academic position? Yes, I am preparing for it.
I'm sorry, but a patient is on the run.
Is he running away before paying for the treatment? He hasn't even received his treatment yet.
If that's all Yes, go get him back.
He needs to receive the treatment.
Medical art is, above all things, a humanitarian calling.
Then, I'll be on my way.
Min Ji.
Yes? Where has the patient gone? What? He was here just a moment ago.
I really need to get going.
If I stay here, I'll just cause more trouble.
Did he run away? And you didn't see that? I'm sorry.
He was nearly out of the parking lot.
Look at how swollen his ankle is.
This is so frustrating.
If I get caught, I won't be lying in this emergency room but the morgue.
What right do you have in keeping me here? Isn't it my choice to stay or leave? It's not a right but a duty.
If you want to go, you need to sign the refusal of treatment pledge.
And pay for the consultation fee.
What? Why do I need to pay? I haven't received anything yet.
You've been examined by the doctor.
You need to pay for the consultation fee.
What if I won't? Then I will call the police.
All right.
My friend is on the way here.
I'll be here until he comes.
Excuse me but the bed is that way.
I need to use the toilet.
Do you want us to believe that? I won't run away.
I'll leave my phone with you.
What is up with everyone I meet today? Let go of me.
Today must be one of those days.
Why that little Big Boss? They must be joking.
They all need to serve in the military to recover their senses.
Let's get back to work.
Okay.
He's not picking up the phone.
(The funeral hall parking lot) - Let's get going.
- I'm going to kill him.
So, you're looking for where the funeral hall is? How meticulous of you.
The emergency room is this way.
I am on my way.
I'm outside.
Where are you? Are you here? Excuse me.
This will hurt a little.
I need to stitch up the wound.
Prepare for that.
Yes.
Excuse me.
Hello? Hello? (Big Boss) Are you Big Boss? Yes.
But why do you have that phone with you? The patient left it with me.
Are you his family? I'm not.
But the phone belongs to us.
Do you feel anything? I will stitch up your wound now.
Where's the motorcycle patient? Where has he gone? Maybe he's taking an x-ray.
Are you listening to me? Are you the ones that are going to send him to the morgue? The morgue? I think you've mistaken us for someone else.
Min Ji, please tell these people to wait outside.
And contact the security to make sure they don't cause trouble.
Quickly.
You can't be in here.
Please go outside.
- Wait a minute.
- Quickly.
Seeing that he left the phone here, I think he made a run for it.
Yes, I think he made a run for it.
Why don't we go outside and look for him? He couldn't have gone far.
Yes, he couldn't have gone far.
Why don't you go and find him? My goodness.
My stomach.
My stomach hurts.
I think it's my appendix.
- It's the wrong side.
- Then it hurts over here.
Goodness.
Why does it hurt so much? Actually, it was the right side.
My goodness.
Let's go.
They look like gangsters, right? The boss and his right-hand man.
I think I was a bit too harsh.
Don't worry.
I'm better with knives than them.
Do you know where you're going? I have a hunch.
I saw a gang earlier on Hey.
Wait.
Do you really need that phone back? They look like they're experienced street fighters.
I need that phone.
Why? Is there something in your phone that others shouldn't see? That's not quite honourable of you.
Something nice? Yes.
Hello, there! Everyone stop what you're doing! Who do you think you are? Just get back on your way.
Don't act brave and cause trouble.
We have some unfinished business with him.
Then wait for your turn.
You fools.
Please help me out.
Hey, did you steal their phones too? What's the reason? Why are you getting beat up? Please help me out.
I'll give you back your phone.
Hey.
Look how many you're up against.
Do you think that's a fair deal? Gi Beom wanted to get out of the gang.
He was told to pay up for dropping out.
They want 5,000 dollars.
They want him to pay up? Are all gangs like this? The prices have been up high these days.
So you're in this field too.
Since he has nothing on him, should us two settle this? That's a good idea.
Let's settle this.
If money is the problem, here is the money.
I have quite a lot of money.
If you're confident, take it.
Whoever takes it, can have it all.
- Really? - You are not kidding, right? Please stay out of this.
It is for real.
I'm his older brother.
- What is your name again? - It is Gi Beom, Kim Gi Beom.
I'm Gi Beom's older brother.
If you can take this wallet, I will pay for his dropping out.
Take it.
You are dead if it is an empty wallet.
Wow.
You even carry a knife? I can't let this slide.
This gang is good for nothing.
Let's break this gang up.
Take out your knives and guns.
Bring it on.
We have more people on our side.
Let's take out our knives.
That was uncalled for.
I am regretting now.
At least they don't have guns.
Let's go.
Doctor, please take a look at this.
There something in the lungs.
The motorcycle patient I think he ran away again.
- Someone is here to see him.
- Again? Where is the visitor? Over there.
Yoon Myeong Ju? Kang Mo Yeon? Are you this patient's family? Are you in charge of him? Where is the patient? First, show me his medical charts.
This is not your hospital nor is he your patient.
It's a funny thing, that there is always a man involved between us.
I don't have time to joke around with you.
Show me his charts.
He is important to me.
- Important to you? - Is he severely wounded? How could you not realise the patient had gone missing? Where is the patient? That is what I would like to ask.
I think the patient has run off without paying the medical fee.
Since you are here, why don't you pay for him instead? Tell the security to search the men's toilet.
Even if you don't find him, please receive the fee from this person.
Where do you think you are going? Why don't you talk with the nurse here? I think that we have done more than enough, fetching a patient that is unwilling to be treated twice.
I have other things to do.
- Where is the men's toilet? - Over there.
Goodness.
Myeong Ju is in the emergency room.
Myeong Ju? From the Korea Military Academy? Yes.
The brat that came to receive commissioned education and interned with us.
Yes, the army surgeon with a pretty face that stole your crush.
Pretty face? Who are you talking about? Because she has big eyes and a pointy nose, that makes her pretty? Because she has that face, she's pretty? It's all make up.
- She was pretty without make up.
- What are you Anyways, he didn't go out with her.
That's all history.
But why is she here? Is she hurt? No, her boyfriend is hurt.
But her boyfriend looks at most 20 years old.
She must be crazy.
What are you talking about? Her boyfriend is in the army.
What do you mean he's in the army? His hair was really long.
He is in the army.
Their love story is really famous among her colleagues.
Her boyfriend is a non-commissioned officer.
A non-commissioned officer? What is that? A military rank like sergeant, staff sergeant and first sergeant.
It's normal not to know that stuff.
Anyways her boyfriend is a non-commissioned officer.
I heard that he took the qualification examination.
But she is an officer, a graduate from the Korea Military Academy.
Plus she's an army surgeon and her father is a three-star general.
The two must be going through a lot.
Is that true? Then who is the guy that left his phone with me? What happened to this patient? Min Ji, call Doctor Kang now.
There has been an accident.
What happened? You look too fine for being in an accident.
Follow me.
What happened to this patient? There was an incident.
He was involved in a shameful accident.
This looks more like an assault than an accident.
Did you two go up against this guy? That is ridiculous.
Excuse me, who did this to you? Did he do this to you? No, it wasn't him.
He saved me.
This is the hospital so you don't need to worry.
We have security.
So you can tell me the truth.
Did he do this to you? He really didn't.
You are not going to believe him however many times he says that, right? I will give you some painkillers.
And we need to take an x-ray of your whole body.
Ja Ae, after you are done Don't worry I will take him myself.
Min Ji, call the security that I will be on my way to check the surveillance cameras.
I will call the police myself.
Excuse me.
Wait.
Excuse me.
Wait.
Let me go.
I will.
After I get this straight with you.
He is telling the truth.
That punk He is my patient.
He stole my associate's phone so we came here in search for it.
We found him being beaten up by a gang so we helped him out.
You helped out a thief who stole your associate's phone? It's more convincing that you were the assailant.
Is this the police? I'm calling from the emergency room in Haesung (Emergency services) What do you think you are doing? I will tell you straightforwardly.
I would like to avoid getting involved with the police.
Right? Give me back my phone.
We are actually soldiers.
We are on a leave at the moment.
If we're found to be involved in a case of assault, it is bothersome.
There will be a lot of paperwork to deal with.
I ask for your cooperation.
Why should I cooperate with you? Who cares if you are a soldier or a gangster? I told you to give me back my phone.
Since everyone in Korea has one of these, it won't serve as proof.
If you say this is forged, I can't prove otherwise.
Which school did you go to? Since it's Haesung Hospital, did you graduate from Myungin University? Why do you ask? Do you know who Yoon Myeong Ju is? I think she was in your class.
How do you know her? Are you that sergeant, or colour sergeant, or the sergeant major of some sort? Do you mean, sheriff? Right, sheriff.
Are you that guy? I'm not that guy, but you should come with me.
There's someone who can identify me.
It's been a while.
Yes, it has.
It must be very difficult for you to avoid me, but you're looking pretty good.
Yes, I am.
When can we talk to each other without our ranks between us? Right, you may just totally ignore me if it wasn't for my rank.
- Yes, I would.
- I'm going to kill you.
How much longer will you avoid me? Why won't you pick up my calls? Why wouldn't you let me check up on you? How long will you run from me? Answer me.
I'm not asking you to give me a reason.
I just wish you would let me hear your voice.
My reasons are not what you think.
I hope you wouldn't think I left for your sake, Lieutenant Yoon.
I had a change of heart.
I do not have the skills to explain the thing of the heart.
That's all.
I don't believe you.
If you are finished Don't do this.
I'm leaving.
Don't you dare go.
Stop right there.
Seo Dae Yeong, stop right there.
Sergeant Major Seo Dae Yeong.
Do you not salute an officer of a higher rank when you leave? Stand right there.
Stay there through the night.
Stay there until you die.
I will never take your salute.
Hey.
This is an alleged abuse.
This is an education for a cowardly soldier.
What is it? I am here to recover these soldiers' honour.
I need you to confirm our identities to her.
She won't believe me.
I'd rather trust someone I know than someone I just met.
Tell me.
Is that so? Then, you should report these two.
They are runaway soldiers.
Hey, come on! Could you give me my mobile? I have confirmed your identity.
Give it back to him.
Look how the things turned out.
I'm looking forward to seeing what's in your mobile.
Are we all good? I just confirmed your identity.
Committing an assault is another problem.
Follow me.
It will take me about five minutes to find it.
Could you wait here? Yes.
So, how do you know Myeong Ju? We went to the same military academy.
Did you need to check that even after confirming my identity? Don't I look like a horrible liar? Murderers are usually amicable.
That seems to be true.
It makes me feel scared if you take that serious.
We're the only ones here.
Don't worry.
I always protect beautiful women, the elderly and children.
It's a rule I live by.
That's a relief.
I fit among one of those categories.
You don't.
I meant the elderly.
Big Boss, what's your name? I am Yoo Si Jin.
What's your name? I am Kang Mo Yeon.
Nice to meet you.
Don't be too friendly.
I think we just made eye contact.
Have you played any sports? I used to play judo until I was a junior in high school.
Why did you let them hit you? Things end faster that way.
Well, how did you know I played sports? I saw the way you got beat up.
We learn to get beat up first before we learn to hit others.
I used to play taekwondo throughout my primary, middle and high school years.
Were you any good? I won a gold medal once.
And Mr Kim Gi Beom, is your family here? We need to admit you.
I don't have any family.
He does.
Oh my goodness! Oh, my.
Yes, that's right.
That's it! Good job! Yes! That's it! Now I got the whole picture.
I'm sorry for the misunderstanding.
If you're sorry, could you treat me? I'm really hurt.
Where are you hurt? Right here.
Right here? You're exaggerating.
My goodness, I wasn't exaggerating.
My goodness! It looks like your wound opened up while you were fighting.
When did you get hurt? It's been a few days.
What happened? It happened while I was doing some labour.
That's what soldiers do, some labour.
I see.
That is one odd unit.
It's not every day you get shot while doing some labour.
This is a gunshot wound.
Have you ever seen a gunshot wound? I've never seen it in Korea, but I have when I volunteered overseas in Africa.
Now that you mention it, this is a wound I got during the Battle of Normandy.
The gunfire fell like the rain, but I penetrated into the battle to save my comrade.
Was his name Private Ryan? I stitched it up.
You can take out the stitches after a week.
Until then, you must sterilise the wound every day.
There is a clinic in the army, right? May I come here? - Isn't this too far? - It is.
May I come every day? That's not necessary.
You can come 3 or 4 times a week if you want to heal quickly.
Will you be my doctor? It's just sterilisation.
You don't need a doctor for that.
I do.
Especially the doctor's beauty.
If you pick doctors based on their looks, you got the best option.
I'll reserve you a slot for 2pm.
Doctors don't have boyfriends.
They're too busy.
Soldiers don't have girlfriends.
Too much hard work.
Who will answer? This or this? Which do I look better in? This or this? Let's see the right one again.
This one? Who are you dressing up for? I'm going to Haesung Hospital to get my wound cleaned.
We have a clinic here, but he insists on driving 90 minutes to the hospital.
Shut it.
Healthy people make a strong nation.
I want to get treated at Haesung Hospital where they have the best staff and equipment, so I can recover quickly and protect my nation.
Is that right? The doctors there must be pretty.
Right.
The doctors here aren't pretty.
- One of them is.
- I know who.
Lieutenant Yoon Myeong Ju, right? Wow, she's darn pretty.
Her last boyfriend dumped her hard.
I'd really like to meet with that jerk.
What are you doing? Listen.
You're about to swap curiosity with your life.
When did I make the swap? - Jeez - I have business there, too.
Give me a ride.
What business? The bill is paid in full.
We soldiers don't make much.
Look after yourself.
If you're going to get into trouble, make sure I don't find out.
I'm off to see the doctor.
Take your medicine.
After your meals, though.
Thanks for settling the bill.
I can't pay you back though.
Don't even think about trying to lecture me.
I won't.
Go.
Bye.
Wait.
About taking your phone.
I apologise for that.
Apology accepted.
Wait.
I tried getting beat up, and even paying them.
How did you get out? I went to a place they'd never follow me to.
Where was that? Out of the way, please.
I think we'll need more blood.
I'll get five more bags.
Hurry.
Get out of the way.
Move faster.
(Operating Room) (Surgeon: Kang Mo Yeon) Hello? Mr Yoo Si Jin? It's Kang Mo Yeon.
Are you out of the surgery? Yes.
I heard you came by.
I've never had a doctor not show up.
It was an emergency surgery.
- Did he live? - What? The patient.
Yes, I saved him.
Good for you.
Is this your number? Yes.
You got mine.
You can save mine.
I'd like to see you tomorrow.
Are you always this direct? I meant I'd like to get treated tomorrow.
I know.
That's what I meant.
I doubt that.
You should trust your doctor.
Did you take the medicine? Does it hurt more if I don't? Will I have to get admitted? When are you free tomorrow? Scratch that.
Let's meet up now.
Do you mind? No.
Come over.
(Two UN employees abducted) Sir.
My current location is Haesung Hospital.
I'll be on standby.
Yes, Sir.
Are you here? I am, but something came up and I'm leaving.
Now? Where are you? On the roof.
The roof? Which roof? What are you doing here? Sorry but I have to stand you up this time.
It must be an emergency.
The first floor No.
They're here for me.
For you? Why? Is there a war? There always is.
But not in Korea at the moment.
Then why would a helicopter come for you? I'll explain some other time.
But promise me something.
Let's meet up next weekend.
Somewhere other than here.
What about your treatment? I'll come back in one piece.
Let's watch a movie.
I'm out of time and I need an answer.
Is it yes or no? Yes.
You gave me your word.
We are now in the operation area.
We will begin the tactical flight.
How long have we been flying? It is about seven hours.
Then, it must be Yes.
Harry Potter.
Sergeant Gong Cheol Ho, Sir.
Mosquitoes in this area are especially brutal.
Be careful.
Yes, Sir.
Why are we taking off our identification tags? When we die in the midst of our operation, we must remain unidentified.
Where are we? Afghanistan.
(We'd like to thank Lee Kwang Soo for his cameo appearance.
) (Descendants of the Sun) This isn't training.
It's an actual fight.
You may be killed, or kill.
Did you think about me? Of course I did.
What about you, Si Jin? I thought of you a lot.
I really wasn't going to call you, but Aren't you embarrassed or ashamed? We decided to send Team Alpha.
Where will you be sending us? We'll make Professor Kang Mo Yeon as a volunteer team leader.
Abnormal explosives found in B-4 area.
Si Jin, that means you may die while you do your job.
