Flight leader, we have left the mission area.

Ha Jungwoo

Yeo Jin Goo

Sung Dong Il

We should head back, sir.

Chae Soo-bin

What? Having a tough time?

Not at all, it's a piece of cake.

Yeah? Immelmann turn!

Immelmann turn!

Descend!

Inverted flight!

How's this? Not bad, right?

It's unbearable, sir. Ah!

Chin up, man.

Dong-cheol, how do you like this scenery?

Cap.

It's breathtaking.

Simply breathtaking!

This is Bravo-Delta! Tango 1, respond!

Abort mission, abort mission!

Target coordinates, Area 3-1, 10,000ft!

This is not a drill!

Goseong Airspace, Gangwon Province

Hotel-Lima 5208.

North Korean border up ahead, turn the aircraft around.

5208, respond, respond!

No response, I'll check the cockpit.

KOREAN AIR LINES

R.O.K AIR FORCE FA-373

Captain's seat is empty. First Officer is in control.

Min-su?

First Officer ID confirmed.

Reservist Air Force Colonel Seo Min-su!

Min-su, it's me!

You're heading for North Korea, turn the plane around!

Based on its flight course, the co-pilot is attempting to defect.

Tango 1, fire warning shots!

Roger.

Guns on. Target in sight.

If you all want to die, turn it around.

No shots! Something is off!

10 miles to the border.

Tango 1, requesting sitrep of 5208!

Still heading north!

Someone may be in the cockpit!

Tango 1! Fire at the right engine

and force it to land!

Negative. It's a passenger aircraft.

Squad Leader here.

Twin engine aircraft can land

with just one engine.

- Fire! - 30 seconds to the border!

If the fuel catches fire,

everyone will die.

You must fire it now for it to land in our territory.

It's an order, fire at once!

Tae-in, come on! Just shoot!

Crossing the border in 10 seconds!

What the hell are you doing? Fire, now!

Move aside, I'll shoot.

Five seconds!

Four, three, two!

Negative.

HIJACK 1971

Who do you think I hung up on right now?

I'm not sure...

I said no interruptions!

I'm sorry, sir.

The Presidential Office said the call keeps getting dropped.

Keep them on the line for two minutes.

Pardon? Oh, okay, sir.

Because of you,

51 of our people were taken to North Korea.

Was it that difficult to shoot

the engine of a cruising aircraft?

I couldn't risk

what the hijacker would do to the pilot.

There was no hijacking signal!

Min-su was acting strange.

You know him,

he'd never willingly defect to North Korea.

Look.

Does the President care what kind of a man he is? Huh?

One minute left,

come up with a convincing excuse.

They're all still alive.

Once the government initiates negotiation...

Negotiating with the commies?

Go with the gun malfunction story.

You just don't listen, do you, you prick?

Dong-cheol, you're suspended from flying for a month.

Tae-in, submit your discharge papers.

Dismissed.

Tae-in.

How big is your extended family?

About 20, sir.

What's 20 times 51?

Just over 1,000, sir.

Remember,

all those people will suffer

because of your petty humanist decision.

The repatriation of YS-11 aircraft

crew and passengers has been decided.

GANGNEUNG PRISON

It'll take place at DMZ tomorrow,

Kim Yong-dae, released.

And they'll be greeted by families

and journalists from both domestic and international media.

The repatriates will be detained

and undergo thorough investigations,

before returning to their homes.

Next.

The current list of passengers confirmed to be

returning is as follows...

The snow was shoveled already?

What's that?

Don't people even watch the news?

It's been ages since Min-su's name was cleared.

Wipe it off, will you?

- I'll go get some paint. - Oh. I'll take that.

Commie! Spy!

Young-sook!

Oh, that's heavy.

- This way, please. - Yes. Come on.

The food smells incredible.

- Yeah? - All done?

- Yup, it's all done. - Great.

It looks like a new door.

Good work.

Joon-woo, you'll wrinkle that jacket.

Seo Min-su

Let him be. Imagine his excitement with his dad coming back.

We are excited, too.

You and I should go to the hair salon before we go tomorrow.

Do I look bad?

I never bothered to look in the mirror.

Young-sook, I wish my wife's cooking was

half as good as yours.

Desperate to starve starting tomorrow?

Have some while they're hot.

Joon-woo, want a bite?

- Nope. - No?

- Aunty. - Yeah?

- Glass noodle. - Sure, glass noodles.

Attaboy.

You eat so well. Come here, I'll give you some more.

- It's really good. - Yeah?

Thanks.

For what?

For taking care of us,

I'll pay you back...

100 fold, 1000 fold.

Don't even mention it, it was the obvious thing.

Return of YS-11 passengers

Korean Demilitarized Zone

Do not come in contact with the repatriates!

They'll be allowed to go home after the investigation,

so family members are not to approach them!

Hey! I'm here! Here!

Do you see him?

Hold on.

Board the repatriates on the bus.

Stop their families from getting in the way.

Family members should not approach!

Why isn't my husband coming?

Is that everyone?

Yes, sir.

Sir, all 39 repatriates have boarded.

Start the bus.

Captain!

Where are the rest?

All right. Attention, please!

There are a total of 39 repatriated today!

The seven remaining passengers, two crew members,

two pilots are not on today's list,

- so please go back home! - Wait a minute!

Shouldn't you explain why they aren't on the list?

Wrap it up!

Start the bus already!

Don't worry, I'll see you soon!

Sir, what'll happen to those who aren't on the list?

Repatriation was rejected. Rejected.

The commies didn't send them.

Get a move on already!

Remember,

all those people will suffer

because of your petty humanist decision.

39 KAL Passengers Repatriated

39 out of 51 abductees have returned to freedom,

while 11 remain detained by North Korea.

The repatriates testified that 11 individuals were isolated

and taken away due to their specialized skills.

Meanwhile, North Korea claims to have offered

$2 million to the hijacker Cho Chang-hee,

allegedly encouraging terrorist acts against the South.
