In episode 12 of “No Time” aired on the evening of December 16, Lieutenant Colonel Le Nguyen Dai (Manh Truong) said goodbye to his teammates to prepare for his assignment at the 80th Defense Economic Group. He was encouraged by his boss, saying that despite being criticized, Dai was still recognized for daring to take responsibility and act for the common goal.
“You are quick and decisive, suitable for this task,” the chief said to Dai.
Then, Dai went over to say goodbye to Thu. The Lieutenant Colonel said: “Thank you for always accompanying me during my time working here, especially during the recent epidemic prevention period. I'm going now.”
However, Thu still lingered and asked, “What if I had been braver?” but Dai said she deserved complete happiness. Dai did not feel deprived, so he hoped Thu would get married, become a wife and a mother.
When Dai left, Thu burst into tears. She was still struggling with her rejected confession. The two could not be together despite having feelings for each other.
When Lieutenant Colonel Dai said goodbye to his comrades, his subordinates all shed tears because they could not bear to part. They were all sad to see Dai off, and asked permission to call him “anh”, like an older brother in the family. Dai reminded his subordinates not to be sentimental or cry, but to be stronger.
At the new unit, Dai was assigned the position of deputy group leader, had an introduction session and got to know the comrades in group 80.
Lieutenant Colonel Dai was assigned to review the areas managed by Group 80. Notably, there were many unexploded bombs and mines in the forest, and many people illegally entered to exploit the forest.
He was assigned a special mission by his boss, and may face many dangers and possibly criminals during the investigation.
The area where Dai moved to work was also the area where Tam was teaching. She was noticed by a photographer named Tai, who gave her books to win her affection. Tai often visited to encourage and accompany Tam in the highlands.
Because he wanted Tam to have a warm mattress to lie on in the winter, Tai decided to give mattresses to all the teachers at the boarding school so that Tam would not feel awkward with her colleagues.
At the end of episode 12, two subordinates from Dai's old unit were suddenly transferred to the 80th division, reuniting with him in his new work unit. Dai encouraged Mien to try to adapt to the new mission.
Episode 13 "Timeless" airs at 9:00 p.m. on December 17 on VTV1.
