All language subtitles for China Salesman 2017en

BASED ON A TRUE STORY

Two years ago,

there were only three people
working in our African branch.

Because of the war here,
they didn't get a single order.

Two of Ruan Ling's bosses
left, one after the other.

Actually, they escaped,
leaving her high and dry.

But, surprisingly, the war
ended earlier this year.

The most chaotic country in
Africa is rebuilding itself,

and the development of
mobile telecommunications

became the government's top priority.

Because our company
was short staffed,

it encouraged the R and D team
to go into the field and sell.

I was getting bored
doing IT work,

so I volunteered to
work with Ruan Ling.

My only regret is dropping
the enhancement programme.

Well, just let it go.

China salesman.

Yan Jian.

DH TELECOM

That's good.
Show him the guns.

Thank you.
Friendship.

Susanna.
I have a spare car you can use.

Thank you, Michael.

But you know, there are
certain lines we'd better not cross.

Okay.

I take it back.

Hey. Can we ask the company
for satellite phone service?

We can if we win the bidding.

By then, we'll have internet.
There'll be no need for a satellite phone.

A necessity. It helps to kill time.

Come on, what era are we in?

Let's divide and conquer.
The proposal.

Technical parameter settings and
frequency demonstrations are yours.

I'll take care of customs clearance
and deal with the government officials.

I've gone through
the bidding regulations.

It doesn't look good for us.

Ah, my friend, Mr Carlos!

Asaid.

Kabbah, this is what I've found
about the Mengtulu Kingdom,

from the largest
libraries in the world.

Although your ancestors
lost their country 200 years ago,

and nearly became extinct,

the Mengtulu warriors galloped
across Africa 2,000 years ago,

leaving a glorious page in history.

Thank you.

Our people are not extinct!

We're now spread all over Africa.

For sure, I can recover our nation.

But I need your help.

I've been here for two years,

trying to win an order
for the company.

But who would have thought
the Big Four from Europe and America

would suddenly jump in, not
giving a damn about this company?

It's not the first time.

The new government of this
country, under pressure,

set up a committee
for the telecoms bidding.

They hired Susanna
to be in charge of the bidding.

That French woman doesn't
take us seriously at all.

She believes that only the Europeans
and the Americans are good at tech.

We are just court jesters,
entertaining the prince.

She's French?
Yep.

That's obviously not fair to us.

She's an expert from the
International Telecommunication Union,

sent over to help African countries.

Uh...

Welcome back to my country.

Let me tell you, the sunshine,
the brightness, the sand, everything...

Prince Mengtulu.

Where there is a dream, there is a future.

Hi, Michael, how are you?
Good, good, good.

This is Kabbah.

On the house, gentlemen.

Thanks.
I don't drink.

All right.

Men of the Mengtulu Kingdom used to
be warriors who could hold their drinks,

and the alcohol prohibition
is forced on you by this country.

I do not drink.

The rule here is that you
can't leave until you drink.

Why?

He's worried that you will report him
to authorities for selling alcohol.

Well, I will not report him,
but I will stick to my faith!

Hm.

No alcohol? Then drink this.

I must say, I appreciate the offer,
my friend, but a rule's a rule.

I do not drink!

What's that? What's going on?

Yaah!

Carlos.

Forgive my people. You see?

How you doing, sweetheart?
Everything good? Happy?

You all right?

You're a bunch of arseholes.
Get the fuck out of here, all of you.

You served me pee! You die!

Kabbah. Let's go.

Motherfucker, you drink piss!

You'll have to sign here. Just there.

Director Omar.
Hello, Miss Ruan.

This is my new colleague, Yan Jian.

How are you, Yan Jian?

How are you, Director Omar?

We called this special meeting

to get your feedback
on the bidding requirements.

We'd like to have an open discussion.

As long as your requests are reasonable,

we'll make changes in accordance
with international practices.

As you all know, CDMA and GSM
are the two main standards nowadays

in the wireless telecommunications world.

However, according to the bidding rules,

only CDMA standard is accepted.

This is obviously unfair.

Competition is the foundation
of all business principles.

Even though, being a European company,

we agree on entering the bidding
using the CDMA standard.

With the rapid development
of wireless telecommunications,

new products come out every
18 months to replace the old.

The competition is ruthless.

Susanna?

Are you determined to put DH
Telecom at a disadvantage?

To the extent you want to get rid
of our relay tower receivers

as an initial investment!

Uh...

I totally...

agree with Miss Susanna's principle
in the standard selection.

As Susanna is the expert from ITU,

she'd have heard the latest news.

Ten days ago, ITU released a report

predicting that 3G digital
communications will take over the world.

3G standard is the upgraded system,

combining the strengths
of CDMA and GSM.

Based on this,

wireless communication will be
upgraded into 4G, 5G, 6G, or maybe...

Are you... Are you suggesting
3G as the standard?

Yes! Exactly.

Yesterday, LK Telecom Group in Europe

opened a three billion euro bid,

and set 3G as the standard.

As Susanna wants this bid to be
in sync with the latest technology,

I suggest we change the standard to 3G.

But I'm not sure about the product's
stability and its completeness.

Hm.

So, ah... what do you all think?

No problem, it's perfect for us.

Now it is settled.

The standard of the bidding is 3G.

The time of the bidding remains the same.

At eight am on July 31st.

Yan Jian, you're amazing!

You might not have known that

our company has made
a few 3G units for testing.

Headquarters is preparing
to bid on the LK project in Europe.

We can take advantage of that.

Should be okay for us to get use of one.

So, it's just us against MTM.

With Director Omar on our side,
we're sure to win!

Michael.

How can you make a decision
on this without consulting us first?

We had a deal.
You're just playing along.

Of course, I can make the decision.
You son of a bitch!

You're nothing but a liar.
You just made a fool of us in there.

In case you haven't noticed,
you're no match for that Chinese guy.

D.H. HEADQUARTERS, BEIJING

We've just finalized the 3G model.

Full production won't begin
for another month.

There's no way
we can send it to you next week.

Miss Zhao, it is possible.

You'd better do as you're
told, and that's it!

Those guys!

They just sit on their fat
asses and boss us around!

We are a technology company.

Nobody makes a profit by selling leftovers.

What a shame!

Yan Jian, you're incredible.

You kicked out three European
companies in one shot.

And now, one day later,
we're also out of the picture.

I found out last night
from my contacts at headquarters

we actually don't have
any equipment for the bidding.

Hi, Michael.

Hello, beautiful.

Ruan Ling.

I'll go and talk to Omar and Susanna
and tell them I was bullshitting.

I'll beg them to change the standard back.
If it has to be CDMA, we'll accept it.

Sir, are you looking for Mr Omar?

Yes.

He has gone south with the president.
He won't be back for a few days.

That Chinese guy
is in over his head.

Don't get upset with him.

He's not worth it.

I'm not upset with him.

I... I just can't figure him out.

D.H. EUROPEAN OFFICE, GENEVA

You must be kidding.
GSM is good enough for where you are.

Sir, the meeting is about to begin.
Hey, I've got a meeting. Later.

Listen...

What if I tell you I can help
to shorten our 3G connection time,

by one and a half seconds?

Can we talk'?

What? Say that again?

I threw together an enhancement
programme, and it's almost done.

I can send it to you. This will make us
at least a second faster than MTM.

In return, you have to give me
one set of your 3G equipment.

Encrypt it, and send it to me.

Hey, Ruan Ling, how are you?

Lauder, just leave me alone.

Good idea.

Yes, Yes, yes!

Whoa!

What's the test result?

Who wrote this? It's fantastic!

Hello?
Yan Jian.

The result is excellent!
It's 1.51 seconds faster!

We reported it to the board.

They've decided to promote you,

as either the deputy head
of the tech department

or the head of the tech sector
in the European division.

But what about here?

Let's call it a tactical retreat.

Give it up? I can't do it.

Go to another phone.

Hello.

We were bugged?

Fm not sure. Just a gut feeling.

This is the company's top secret
that we're talking about here.

We can never be too
careful in this business.

We can't afford any more losses.

What did you just say you couldn't do?

I said I wanted to stay here.
You've got to honour our agreement.

But I can't.

Hey, Michael.

This is the jammer you wanted.

And best of all, it is
absolutely untraceable.

Good job.

Your package arrived!

Your package arrived!
Zheng Ming is the man!

Here are the facts.

We've got only three
certified 3G host machines.

DH TELECOM MACHINE

One in Europe, one in North
America, and one is in the lab

of the Chinese Ministry of Industry
and Information Technology.

Full production
won't start for another month.

Then give me yours, the one in Europe!

You must be kidding!
I'm serious! Send me the equipment!

How soon can you give me the report?
In three days.

We can do 10,000 stability tests
in three days.

If everything goes well,
we can get approval for installation.

In three days, I need my equipment
to run the integration tests for LK.

There's no way I can give it to you.
I don't care.

I want that contract.

But I do have a prototype here,
used for the ITU standard test.

I want it. Ship it.

You can have it.

But it's not certified.

That's it!

CERTIFICATE DH TELECOM

Boss.

How are you, sweetheart?
Great.

Little busy right now.
Okay.

Yeah?
We've learned that

DH has a new enhancement programme.

They can beat MTM by one
second in connecting time.

So what do you want from me?
Name your price.

Get the programme.

All right, consider it done.

Whoever needs to initiate
the relay tower system

will need my fingerprint for access.

We're done for today.
Already?

Yep. See you tomorrow.

Do you know why
DH developed so fast?

Because everybody in the
company works so hard,

and they don't mind to work overtime.

Listen, if I were you,
I would just focus on the bidding.

Besides, not everyone
wants to do overtime.

Okay, you can go ahead.

Susanna, your fingerprint.

Susanna, your fingerprint.

Susanna? Can you hear me?

Where are you?

Stop it! Stop it!
Why do you want to kill her? Let me go!

Susanna, what's going on?

What's going on?
Let me go! Save the little girl.

They want to sacrifice her!
Don't cry.

Let me go, stop!

What are you doing?
Go!

Get out of here!
Get out of here! Get in the car!

Here!
Get in the car!

Go, go, 90, go! Go, go!
My daughter!

Go, go, go, don't worry about me!

Go, go, go!

Let's go!

Get her!

Go left! Left, left!

Left! Left! Go!

They have taken away my daughter!

This man must be punished!
You barbarians!

Why do you harm a child?
Kill him! Kill him!

Why do you harm a child? Pull me down!

Kill him! Kill him!
I didn't want to hurt the child!

Save the girl, please, save the girl!
I need help here!

Girl, please!
Come here, come in!

Hurry, help her.

She's bleeding.

Lady, don't worry.

It's an injury caused by an excision,
she'll be all right.

What? Incision?

Didi, are you fine?

Daddy's here.

Let the Chinese man go!

If you have to punish someone, punish me.

Sheik Asaid. Didi, she is okay.

They meant no harm.

Is that lady there?
Put her on the phone.

I'm Asaid, Sheik of Uhdan tribe.

We have different
religions and customs.

Though we misunderstood each other,

I would like to thank
you for your kindness.

How is Mr Yan Jian?
The Chinese gentlemen?

He is fine.

He will be back tomorrow.

Don't worry.

You survived?

Just when I got back to the office,
I got a call from Asaid,

asking me to pick you up right away.

How is Susanna?

And the little girl?

The little girl is already home.

I called Susanna and she
was worried about you.

You seem to be worried about her as well.

Nonsense!

I have no idea what happened yesterday.

In Africa, Uhdan warriors have
been renowned as fearless fighters

who could outdrink anyone.

Drinking is a ritual of being a warrior.

It is also an act of regret.

Last night, you drank a
whole jar in one go.

It was enough for them
to let you off the hook.

What are these? Huh?

Special gifts from Sheik Asaid.
Uhdan speciality.

Date wine.

Mr Duchamps.

Don't worry, the police have been paid off.

Okay.

What DH is doing is unethical,

and goes against
basic business principle.

There are standard guidelines,
but it's not written down.

However, no matter what,
you can't be seen to favour the Chinese.

They ought to be disqualified!

Susanna, I don't play favoritism
when our national interest is at stake.

But this is business.

Without competition, it's impossible
to get the best product for the best price.

Er... Let's forget about these pictures.

Hello, I want to buy some goat's milk.
Okay.

No doubt, having
five world renowned companies

for the mobile telecom bidding here today

is not only a sign of affirmation as well
as hope for the future of this country

that has just endured
suffering and hardship,

but it's also an honour.

Whoever wins here today, I want to thank
you all from the bottom of my heart,

on behalf of this country and its people.

However, only two companies have been
selected for the next and final phase.

The last two companies that are
entering the final phase are...

MTM Telecom...

and DH Telecom.

Now, please turn on your sewer,
please turn on your host machine,

and set the frequency
from 1880-1920 megahertz.

And set the number to 88669977.

But now, let's see
what this China salesman

will have for us for the main course.

Miss Susanna, while yes,
I'm a China salesman,

why don't you call me Mr Yan or Yan Jian?

You have my name in front of you.

That's the least
that you can do to show respect.

We're at a global
mobile telecom bidding, here,

and only technology matters.

Please, don't mistake this
as a class for etiquette.

Whoever wins the bidding, wins respect.

Why are you so sure that we can't win?

You'll see, I will make you call me Mr Yan.

Now, DH. Start the test.

Mr Elephant. Is your nose itchy again?

Miss Cobra, I just sneezed.

There has to be a jammer nearby.

Kabbah, Togar was murdered.
Bring your guys over, right now.

Mr Elephant,
is your nose itchy again?

Miss Cobra, I just sneezed.

Don't worry, my dear.
I will send you the remedy right away.

Thank you, I'm feeling much better.

Miss Susanna. In addition to the given
frequencies, we also have a backup.

No one can jam this.

Sorry for the interruption. Spot check!

Who's Yan Jian?

Yan Jian, you have violated
the laws of our country,

and are hereby under arrest
for drinking and hiding alcohol.

This is not alcohol, it's...
it's goat's milk!

Goat's milk? Get him up.
Goat's milk!

I was set up. Trust me!
Let's go. Let's go.

I said I did not put alcohol in there!
I said I was set up. Trust me!

Go!

The capital is in chaos.

The civil war is unavoidable.

This is Andy Nelson,
reporting live from the capital.

The new leader of the South,
Vice-President Togar, was killed.

Yeah, the Balour government
murdered him.

And we must avenge him, blood for blood!

Do you have proof?
Shut up, you fool!

You shut up!

You wanna die?

Mr Duchamps,
is the news you got reliable?

Yesterday afternoon,
Togar flew from Uganda in a helicopter.

The helicopter crashed on Mount
Aboutogou, and Togar died in the crash.

Togar wasn't killed
in the helicopter by Balour?

The war between the North and the South
is inevitable. This is your chance!

You will not only restore a tribe,
but also build a new country.

People are sick and tired of war.

They're more willing
to sit down and talk now.

Once the country's communication
collapses,

and no one can talk to each other,

then the door of our success
will be wide open.

Michael.

It's okay, it's okay.

Michael. You can't
make Kabbah do this!

You know how much
money is at stake!

Why are you doing this?

Philip, you are too shortsighted.

How much money can you make
from a telecom contract?

This country has rich oil
and rare mineral reserves.

But the Chinese are ahead of us,
exploiting them.

Moreover, there is money
to be made from arms sales.

One missile is worth all
the equipment here.

But, no matter what,
you can't start another war!

Philip, this is not my personal decision.

But we need to renegotiate how
this country's resources are distributed.

Who are you working for, besides MTM?

I have many identities. I have a mission.

You're despicable.

MTM doesn't need any warmongers.

I'll expose you.
I will tell everyone the truth.

No!

President Balour just received

an emergency call
from the president of Uganda.

Uganda has lost contact
with the helicopter

of Vice President Togar,
at 6:30 pm on July 30th.

The armies of several nations
have now launched a search

in the area where the
helicopter might have crashed.

The local UN personnel
have also joined the search.

Kabbah. The curtain is up.

In 15 minutes, all the sat phones in this
country will be blocked except ours.

This is new frequency.
Only you and I know it. Remember this.

I call you but you never call me.

We can confirm that...

Destroy them all.

SOUTH MILITARY HQ, NIUSETE

Now, let's show respect to our leader.

We must avenge Togar!

Mr Omar! Director
WOMAN: Director Omar!

This is Isam.

The captain of Presidential Guards.

The leaders of the South are in the middle
of an emergency meeting in Niusete.

At nine am tomorrow,

they will inform President Balour
of their decision by telephone.

The call will be recorded
and broadcast worldwide.

But the entire
telecommunication network is down.

No phone lines can get through.

As of now,
even the satellite lines are gone.

The president has ordered
Isam and I to have the line restored

between the North and the South ASAP.

Director Omar, why can't
they just send a telegram?

No, the people of the media need
to hear the voices of the two leaders.

Director Omar,
let's check out the sewer first.

My God, Michael!

Are you okay?

They killed Philip.
What?

What?
What?

Isam. Isam.

This is Balour.

What is the situation?

Very bad. All servers are damaged.

The wires are broken in many places,
and all the phone lines are down.

Do everything you can to restore
the network before nine am tomorrow.

Director Omar, can we pull our experts?
They're all here.

Communications...

We can't stay here!
I wanna stay here and help...

Those who are willing to help,
please, stay.

Otherwise,
we will escort you to a safe area.

Okay, let's go! Quickly!
You save countries.

This is an emergency, so please,
everyone, work out a plan.

How many soldiers do you have?

Can you stop the shooting outside?
Otherwise...

Maybe... Er...

Maybe there is another solution,
regardless of the gunfire.

Who are you?
A China salesman.

China salesman?
What is he doing in handcuffs?

We... We could connect
the wireless with landline.

Use switch technology control units.

It might be able to work,
even with damaged wires.

Brilliant.

It's all down.

Keep this one for now.

It doesn't work.

This is an emergency.

Hello?
Kabbah.

Knock out all three relay towers
at the North-South border.

Especially the one in the Abeynee.

You can make the call now.

Hello?
Hello, Fatima.

Isam?

Please inform the president
that everything goes well here.

It's not getting to the South.

It's not going through to the South?

No need to call, let's
just fight with them.

General, it must be Balour, for sure.

But we must figure out the cause
for General Togar's death.

It must be the three towers
at the North-South border.

We're getting no signals from there.

Those receivers might be damaged.

Can you fix it, Mr Salesman?

I need someone to go with me.

I can't activate the receivers
without her fingerprint ID.

I'll go. I'm happy
to do what I can for this country.

You don't have to say anything.

Whatever you did wrong,
I will get you a presidential pardon.

I promise.
It was only milk in the bag.

I need no pardon.

I have only one request.

Under these circumstances,

I hope you would consider
cancelling today's bidding

and holding it in a month's time.

Hm?
I'll tell the president.

According to today's test,
DH made one mistake after another.

You're out! MTM is gonna win the bid.

You won't get the order,
even if you repair the telephone lines.

What are you talking about?
The bidding is still not finished.

But you've already made up your mind?

This is unfair!
It's more than fair!

How can DH compete with MTM?
Your technology is way behind.

You're such an opportunist.

I'd rather give DH another chance.

I can fix the problems at the
tower myself. I don't need another person.

What do I need you for?
If not for your fingerprint?

Susanna, Yan Jian.

The people need you right now.

More will die with every second of delay.

Listen to the gunshots and screams.

Can you please
put your differences aside? Hm?

We can confirm now
that, due to low visibility,

a helicopter crashed
into the Amatuogu mountain range.

On board the Uganda presidential
aircraft were Dr John Togar,

his six colleagues,
and seven crew members.

They all died in the crash.

The Southern People's
Liberation Movement

is holding an emergency meeting
in Niusete.

You lost the moral ground

when you took advantage of the
loopholes in the bidding regulations.

You and your company still want to be
a respectable player in the business?

Hah. Keep dreaming.

Being the person in charge
and getting involved with a client,

who really is on the shaky moral ground?

Fire!

Go, go!

Move back! Back!

Watch out! You have to watch out!

Fire.

Sir, a large number of reinforcement
troops are approaching us.

We're pulling out.

We're moving to the third tower.

Captain!

Seems like you've been in a battle, sir!

Do you know the enemy?
I have no idea.

We have to repair the... this relay tower.

I need you to stay here
and to protect this tower.

Okay, sir.
Be careful.

Hello?

Director Omar, the first relay
tower has been activated.

We're heading to the second one.
Very good.

General, we still can't get hold
of the president's office.

Everybody, pay attention.

We are crossing the Southern border.

If anything happens, do not fire back.

Copy.
Copy, copy.

Sir, I hear movement.

Northern troops! Take positions!
Man your guns!

Let's go, let's go!

Move! Move!

Hold your fire!

Do not fire without my command.
Yes, sir!

What should we do?
We are running out of time.

Even if we win the battle,
we will face their reinforcements.

Wait.

Perhaps...

Do we have anything
with a UN symbol on it?

Or a... a Red Cross flag?

I think with that, we might be able
to pass the checkpoint.

Yeah. It might work.

Hey, guys,
find anything with a UN symbol,

or anything with a Red Cross on it.

I couldn't find anything.

We didn't find anything, sir.
Go!

I got this.

Chinese flag.

Chinese flag?
Yeah.

Are you suggesting we're gonna use it?

I doubt it can work.

Impossible.

Maybe.
Maybe.

Captain! Captain! Map!

Stop! Stop!

Hey! What are you doing?

Stop it!

Hey, stop it!

No!

Hey! No!

Fire!

Hold fire!

Captain.

Get the pickup. Pickup!

Go, go, go! Quick, quick, quick!

Go!

Remove your hats.
Hide your ribbons.

Don't make a move without my command.
Yes, sir!

Yan Jian! Get on the truck!

Don't worry about it. Slowly.

Come on.

China! How are you?

How are you? How are you?

How are you?
Good, brothers!

Yes.
Director Omar...

we are heading to the third tower.

Terrific.

Yan Jian.

Thank you.

There is the third tower.

We can restore the connection
in an hour from now.

Susanna, what happened?
The tower just got blown up!

How bad is it?
The tower is completely gone!

Susanna!
Susanna!

Hello? Ugh!

Hello? Ugh!

This is the only tower
between the North and the South,

and no other options!

Everybody out! Go search!

Everybody out! Go search!

All clear, all clear.
Okay, continue, continue.

Copy, copy.

Excuse me, ladies.
Can I please talk to you?

Excuse me, ladies.
Can I please talk to you?

Did you see what happened here?

Is this your goat?
Madam? Excuse me?

Go, go, go, go!

Move forward, move forward!
Annihilate them, now!

Get in the car! Susanna!
Come on, come on.

Hold on!

Hurry, hurry!

Hurry, hurry!

Get out! Get out of here!
Run, run, run, run, run! Run, run!

This way, this way, this...

Go, go, go, go!

Go, go, go'.

Get away from me, you bastard!

Get away! Let me go!

Yan Jian! Susanna!

Where are you?

Yan Jian. Susanna.

Yan Jian. Susanna.

Where are you?

Captain. It's hopeless.

It's impossible.

Impossible.
Yan Jian!

I know you can do it!

You are our only hope!

You are our only hope!

Captain... it's impossible.

It's over.

It's over! Over!

Yan Jian!
Come out'. You must come out!

We still have hope...
as long as you keep trying!

We still have hope...
as long as you keep trying!

Yan Jian! Yan Jian!

Yan Jian!

Yan Jian!

Go, go! Run him over! Go!

Omar, any news from Isam?

No, Mr President.

We still can't get hold of him.

Sir, we have to stop!
Sandstorm is coming!

Shit!

General, it seems like
the sandstorm won't stop soon.

It's impossible to fix the landline
in this kind of situation.

Prepare for the battle!
Yes, General!

There are many reports of cars
burning, looting, rape and murder

in the capital and around the country.

Many are killed.
Civil war seems unavoidable.

Thank you for saving my life.

Yan Jian, stop blaming yourself
for Isam's death.

Okay, let's stay focused.

We have to get lines reconnected.

We have to get lines reconnected.

The relay tower is destroyed.

It's simply not possible.

You must find a way.
I know you can!

It's impossible to
restore the landline.

It's impossible to
restore the landline.

We already have three divisions
up in the front.

We can take over
one third of the southern land.

Susanna, there is
a tower at Uhdan tribe.

How far is Uhdan tribe from Niusete?

80 kilometres.

80 kilometres.

The maximum transmission distance
between the two towers is 60 kilometres.

There's an extra 20 kilometres to cover.
It's impossible.

How long do you think
this sandstorm will last?

It may stop before daybreak.

There is a possibility that...

the sandstorm may cause an unusual
disturbance in the ionosphere.

This may increase
the transmission distance of the signals

This may increase
the transmission distance of the signals

to make up the 20 kilometres difference.

But maybe not.

The signals may be on and off.

It's all in the hands of God.

In the hands of God, indeed.

In the hands of God, indeed.

Hello. Can anybody hear me?

This is Yan Jian.

We have found a solution.

Let's meet at the Uhdan tribe.

Hello? Hello?

Susanna, I have something to ask you.

Susanna, I have something to ask you.

If we release the source code,
will you give the contract to us?

What are you saying?
The source code is the core of a telecom.

I'm sure they won't do it.

What if I can do it?

Wait till the war is over.

I'll do all I can to
convince DH to do this.

I'm sure we can do it.

Though your idea is really annoying,
I have to say, it's great.

General, here is a satellite photo
of the plane crash site.

Obviously, it got hit by a missile.

Only Western countries
have this kind of missile.

Only Western countries
have this kind of missile.

So, it may not be the Northern army.

Sheik Asaid!
We must protect this tower.

Sheik Asaid!
We must protect this tower.

Otherwise, the civil war
might break out again.

Please, it's our only hope.

I heard the news about Togar.

I can't use my sat phone right now.

Someone does not want peace
in this country.

Someone does not want peace
in this country.

You go ahead!

I'll take care of those guys.
Thank you.

Hey. Take this.

Lucky charm.

Stop! Don't shoot! Don't shoot!

Please don't die!

One more shot, and we will kill you all!

We have nothing to do
with Togar's death.

We are running out of time.

Let us to send our troops.

Sir, the helicopter is coming towards us!

We are UN peacekeepers.

We can't get involved in the war.

What else can we do for you?

Sir, please fly south
for 20 kilometres.

Trust me, our chopper will
soon become the tower that you need.

Thank you.

Mr President, reconsider it.

Many innocent people will die.

Connect the North and South, now!

Mr President, please give the command.
We are running out of time.

Connected, connected! Connected!

Hello?

Mr President, call from South.

President Balour, we now know
the truth about the tragedy.

We will abide by the peace agreement.

Let's work together,
act with reason and restraint.

We will stop any attempts against peace.

We have to protect
what we have achieved so far.

Cool.

Mr Kir, again,
your decision has saved our country.

Thank you.

Yes!

We did it!
Fantastic!

Peace!

Peace!

Wow! Peace!

We made it!
Yeah!

We will abide by the peace agreement.

Let's work together,
act with reason and restraint.

We will stop any attempts against peace.

Stop! Who are you?

Stop!

Stop! Stop!

Sheik Asaid, we got the guy
who blew up the relay tower.

Stop! Let him go!

Sheik Asaid, he has killed
so many innocent people!

Why set him free?
The war is over!

We should stop killing ourselves
and let go of the hatred!

My son, some say the Great Rift Valley
is a beautiful scar on the face of Africa.

Others say...

she is the most tender vein of Africa.

Let it go.

You will find peace wherever you may be.

Within 24 hours of the
restoration of peace process,

this courageous China Salesman

has demonstrated impeccably

the superiority of DH's technology
and products.

He completed the bidding process
with grace under fire.

I announce, therefore, the winner is...

China DH Telecom!

Wait!

Good afternoon, everyone.

I'm Tony Harwell.

I'm MTM Telecom's attorney.

My client has filed a lawsuit
against DH Telecom

for intellectual property infringement
and fraudulent business practices.

My friends of the media,
the evidence is right in front of you.

Follow me, please.

Michael! You're such a liar!

Director Omar and Susanna
are my witnesses.

They can prove it.
MTM.

What are you doing, Michael?

MTM.

The facts are clear.

DH doesn't have the required
3G wireless technology and capacity.

Thank you.
It seems like DH is in crisis

since the lawsuit may extend worldwide.

It will be a serious problem for DH...

So, MTM's up to its old tricks again.

We are about to begin construction.

Now they want to renegotiate the contract.

It puts us in a difficult position!

LK group informed us in writing...

that we are disqualified from the bidding.

MTM, what a bully.
Pushing their way around.

Michael, have you got
the enhancement programme as you said?

It is not here yet.

Get it as soon as you can.

Make sure it can cut the missile launch
by one second.

General, it will be here.

I promise, you will get something.

Mr President, Yan was the hero
who saved the country.

You have the power
to stop the lawsuit submitted by MTM.

I can't.

This is politics now.

We are not afraid
of any pressure from Western countries,

but... we don't want
to give them any excuses

to attack our government
and cause instability.

I am sorry.

Zheng Ming, I'm being set up.

It's all because of you.

LK already disqualified us.

The procedure for a test in
court is very complicated.

It may take six months to a year.
By then...

DH Telecom may be out of business.

Listen to me.

I worked out a proposal
for public source code.

If the board accepts it,

we'll not only win the lawsuit...

but also, we'll win a ton of orders.

Yan Jian, don't be a smart arse.

You are fired!

Hi, Michael. I quit.
You can have your money back.

Lauder, in your
entire professional life,

this is such a small job.

You ought to finish what you have started.

That's your style.
No way.

I know all about you.

You were a mercenary in Africa for years,

bootlegging, arms smuggling...

Listen, man, I don't care who you are
or about your veiled threats.

When I say no, it means no.

Who are you?

Mr Yan Jian, are you awake?

Why am I here?

What happened?

So... you're awake, Mr Yan Jian?

Thank you for saving my life.

You don't have to thank me.
It is Lauder who brought you.

Lauder?

Hi, Michael.
You got a lot of nerve comin' here.

Lauder, you broke your own rules.

You'd better cough up
the programme that you grabbed.

Fuck you!

Mr Yan Jian, I heard that DH
has been dragged into a lawsuit by MTM

and is on the verge of bankruptcy.

I like you, young man.
Would you like to come work for me?

Mr Carlos,

DH...

won't go bankrupt, and I...

won't leave DH.

No problem.

If you change your mind...
give me a call.

I'm sorry, Sheik Asaid.

I really couldn't do it.

Mr Carlos is the head of LK...

the biggest European telecom company.

Few actually know who he is...

and even fewer...

get to meet him.

Can you still drink?

Come with me.

Lauder...

you make your own price.

You know...

we've been friends a very long time.

I trust you. Fill in your own figure.

I have a business associate
I have to consult with.

What are you doing? Hey!

My bag!

No!

Sheik Asaid!

Sheik Asaid! Sheik Asaid...

Sheik Asaid!

You can't die! You can't die!

They are after you.

Yan Jian, they are after you!

You have to leave.

You can't... You can't die!

Sheik Asaid!

Fuck! Fuck!

Oh, fuck!

MTM is suing us in Europe.

We are going to be stuck
with excess inventory and lawsuits.

Don't worry about DH
showing their source code to the court.

They'd go bankrupt
before they could win the lawsuit.

But if they make it public,
it means we will lose the lawsuit,

and that could be the end of the Western
telecom industry as we know it.

Yan Jian wanted
me to tell you and the board,

the only way to reverse this crisis
is to go for broke.

We could first release our source code...

DH can do so,
to get out of the dilemma,

but we are bound, because
our government is so controlling,

and won't allow us to release ours.

As long as we have
our source code,

we still have a chance to start again.

Otherwise, we will go bankrupt for sure.

Hey, boss, nobody is here.

Maybe DH headquarters
hasn't seen Yan Jian's proposal yet, so...

we need to find Yan Jian...

and kill him.

Don't forget, we have to get
his enhancement programme.

Susanna...
Yan, is it really you?

Yeah.

I can't believe it's you.

I have to do whatever it takes.

I need to release DH 3G source code,
to show our transparency.

You can do it.

I know you can.

Yeah?

Lauder!

I need your help!

You son of bitch!
What are you trying to do? Kill me?

Hey!

Shut up! Get back to work!

Kabbah,
you are lucky to be alive.

But if you stay in such a shithole,

you will die... sooner or later.

Come on.

Let's get out of here.

No!

Mr Duchamps, I don't want to recover
the land of my tribe any more.

I don't want it.

You don't want to rebuild
your tribe through war.

I understand.

But I don't think you want
your people to be homeless like you.

I can give you a lot of money.

Enough to buy you a huge tract of land.

You can get them together.

You can give them a home.

A good life.

This is the encrypted
email you sent to Zheng Ming.

There is a logic bomb
in the enhancement programme.

You know how to open it.

What if I say no?

I don't want to kill you.
I just want money.

Start it now.

This is not competition.

This is robbery.

Africa belonged to the West.

We brought modern civilization here.

Its present and future belongs to us.

You are not welcome here...

China Salesman.

Is slave trade a part of your civilization?

And spreading war and hunger
part of your democracy?

Zheng He's fleet from China

reached the shores of Africa
hundreds of years ago.

They only left friendship and peace!

They did not take an inch of land
or a single person as a slave!

Great speech.

Kabbah,

it's time for him to get some fresh air.

You will be punished, Michael!

You will be punished!

You're helping Michael
and killing your own people!

Is it for the money or something else?

I'm doing this for my tribe. Jump!

Your tribe? Uhdan tribe?

They killed your Sheik Asaid.

Sheik Asaid is dead? Who killed him?

Michael did! He shot him!

How stupid!
You've been fooled.

I have the proof! Right here!

Right here! This is his button!

Kabbah, where is the Chinese guy?

He jumped.

Now he's gone.

Kill Yan Jian?

We have a thousand reasons
to hunt down Yan Jian!

Hey, why don't
you guys speak English?

They will savagely kill Yan Jian.

Is he safe? Where is Yan Jian?

I know where he's headed.
You can help him.

Me?

Yeah.

Sir, are you here to retrieve
the DH source code?

Yes.

I'm sorry, you're missing
authorization from the board.

The authorization is en route.

Can I sign for it?

Susanna, this is company policy.

Here is the authorization letter
from our board

and the certificate of the file number
from our European office.

Check that.

Approved by headquarters?
How did you get it?

Nice girl!

By the way...
Lauder asked me to pass this to you.

It's your enhancement programme.

He blamed you for losing his job,

and he's gone to South America for good.

All right, please sign here.

I have changed
the IP address on the sewer.

They won't find this computer.
We set up the cloud terminal as well.

This is not a covert mission.

I have to personally take full
responsibility for all the consequences.

Jian...
Yan Jian...

You don't have to say anything.
I have made my decision.

I'll write a letter...

and send it out with the source code.

"Dear Mr Carlos and everyone,

"internet safety is the lifeblood
of mobile telecommunication.

"Fear of being eavesdropped
on and monitored

"has been a concern of all
the countries of the world.

"Now, DH has decided to release
their source code to you,

"and they do not want to keep
a back door for themselves,

"nor do they intend to
keep watch on others.

"You are welcome to examine
our software and hardware

"using reverse engineering methods.

"And you can show your
test result to the court.

"History will prove that...

"DH is transparent.

"In the meantime, if you
support our action,

"it will also prove that we can innovate
digital telecommunications together

"to make history."

Chairman, ITU just emailed...

asking us to verify if our 3G source code,
which was kept there,

has been retrieved by our own employees.

They called the police
and started an investigation.

It must be Yan Jian.

Looks like you've become the
badass I once hoped to be.

Sir, how can I help you?

Routine check.

Kabbah, don't worry. You'll get paid.

Are you trying to film the explosion
as insurance?

Mr Duchamps,

I want to keep this as a souvenir.

You know, I had a dream last night.

I dreamed about the land
that my tribe is going to be living on.

It's a beautiful land.

That sounds like a wonderful dream.
I'm sure it will come true.

Aah!

Ladies and gentlemen,
welcome to the reception.

I'm no longer used
to giving speeches at big occasions.

However, I'm here today

because of an intelligent
and brave young man.

I believe that this young man...

will be the next leader
of the telecommunication revolution!

Who's this young man?
Which young man?

Who is he?
Who could that be?

Now, I've invited him here today.

I hope he won't miss this historic moment.

Could it be Yan Jian?

Ladies and gentlemen,
if you buy a house,

but someone else held the keys,

and had the power to change the keys,

that would feel
more like a hotel than a home.

Yet that is precisely the reality

of the mobile telecommunication
world today.

We build the networks,
the providers hold the source code.

We have neither privacy, nor freedom.

Now... on the screen,

you'll see the source code

of DH Telecom's 3G programme.

This is the result of the hard work
of numerous engineers of DH Telecom.

These are the lock and key
of our house.

With the leadership
of this extraordinary young man,

DH Telecom
has handed these back to us,

making us the true owners of this home.

Carlos, you traitor!

Let's remember
this great decision!

Let's remember this great day!

And now...

I'd like to announce the winner

of the three billion euro
LK Group project...

China DH Telecom!

Chairman, three other
companies just requalified us.

DH is saved!

Congratulations, Mr Ma.

Thank you!
I realise this is quite a surprise.

Thank you for having faith
in this young man!

Thank you!

Yan Jian! It's Yan Jian!

Excuse me.

Ladies and gentlemen,

the man of the hour has arrived!

He did not let me down!

He did not let us down!

Let's all welcome Mr Yan Jian...

the great China Salesman!

Kabbah, kill them all now!

These bastards don't play by the rules.

Traitors!

Blow them all into pieces!

Very soon. Very soon.

Yan Jian, I knew you'd make it.

Thank you.

Yan Jian, thank you.
You saved our company.

I quit.

I'll take it.
Okay.

Let's all toast to Yan Jian.

Don't move!
There's bombs all over the place.

Remain calm and you shall live!

Kabbah.

It's enough!

Are you still manipulated by Michael?

Do you want more people to die?

Somebody has to die! Someone has to!

Take my life. You saved me.

It's yours to take.
You will see who dies soon enough.

No!

Kabbah! Kabbah!

Is this how you repay me?

Is this how you repay me?
Look at me!

You are a disgrace to your people.

Don't forget what you are fighting for.
Don't forget that.

If you kill me, you'll get nothing!

You'll get nothing! You'll get nothing!

You stay out of this!

Do you really want all these people to die?

Huh?

I have sinned! I am a sinner!

I have sinned against the Uhdan tribe.

I have sinned against Africa.

I have sinned against
the ancient Mengtulu Kingdom.

Brothers and sisters,

let go of your dreams of recovering
the ancient kingdom.

Let go of your hatred.

Yes, let it go...

and you will find peace
wherever you may be.

Please, just let it go.

Please.

Kabbah.

Kabbah, put the gun down.

Kabbah!

Kabbah...

Call for ambulance. Call for ambulance.
He's down. He's down.

I repeat, he's down.

Sir, you are under arrest.
