[In January 1949, the Chinese People's Liberation Army surrounded 500,000 Kuomintang soldiers in the cities of Beijing and Tianjin.]

[The main attack of the Ping-Jin Campaign was imminent, and whether the capital Beiping could be peacefully liberated hinged on the battle of Tianjin.]

- Grab him! - Hold on

Hold on!

What just happened?

Let's move! Let's move!

To the roof!

Ma Shen?

At least a battalion.

Understood.

Two-Hair firing direction, no change,

distance 4,300,

two volleys! Fire!

Zhang Zhuang, Zhang Zhuang! This is Li Zhuang, come in!

Firing direction, no change,

distance 4,300,

two volleys!

Fire!

Reduce distance by 100,

three-round volleys, close fire pattern!

Fire!

[LIBERATION]

Reporting for duty colonel!

You're here.

What distances do the Zhongyuan Company and Third Observation Team give us?

Move.

- 7,500! - 7,650.

What is our current firing solution?

A distance of 3,750, angle 40 degrees left of the base.

We used that solution on the test shells we fired yesterday,

but they landed 200 meters away from the target.

Our superiors

have demanded that we minimize

damage to Tianjin to the greatest possible extent,

which means we need accurate targeting.

There are a lot of buildings in Tianjin,

and when you're firing from under your target,

it's hard to know where the shells will fall.

Chen Changjie spent 2.5 billion francs

building Tianjin's defense systems.

This will be different from Jinzhou and Changchun.

In our regiment, at present,

very few soldiers can fire without sighting instructions.

Private Ge here knows trigonometry,

which should be able to help in your observations.

Beyond forward observation for main attack shelling,

I have one more mission for you.

The political prisoners previously held

at the jail here, on Nanma Road, have been transferred out.

The Party underground believes

that this is a military factory.

Vehicles have come and gone frequently the past few days.

If the situation allows,

sight the position

and destroy it for us.

Yes, sir!

He's coming with us?

The new recruits need training.

What?

Is that a problem?

Our mission will be a success!

[Four Days to Final Attack]

Capture Chen Zhangjie alive!

Liberate all of China!

Attack!

Attack!

Attack!

Attack!

Attack!

Attack!

- Halt! - Inspection

Which company are you?

We're with the ones up ahead.

The 26th Division.

You're with them?

Check the truck.

Sir, there's no problem.

Let them pass.

Hurry up!

You stay here.

I'll come right back to you

Daddy!

My bugle!

I'll get it for you.

Thank you, sir.

Go on, now.

You can't go up there!

Go back!

The mooring!

Okay!

Daddy!

Junlan!

Yao Zhe, wake up.

Reporting!

Director Qian, sir.

Well, quartermaster,

good morning.

It's fortunate that I arrived in time.

If the forces guarding Beiping and Tianjin

had learned their family members drowned in the river,

we would have rioting soldiers.

We would lose Tianjin

as well as the party and the country.

Do you realize the severity

of your mistake?

But, sir,

since you've rescued them,

why don't you move them out of Tianjin?

Why are you keeping them here?

Sit down.

Go on, take a seat.

These people...

are the families of colonels and higher ranks.

I'll make new arrangements for them.

As for you,

I plan to send you to a military court.

What happened on the ferry was an accident.

Don't put me in front of a military court for that.

I still have a 6-year old daughter.

I called you here

because I want to know

which one of them is your daughter.

Yao Junlan.

Daddy!

Director Qian,

as things stand,

I never know each day whether I'll live to see the next.

Could you...

see a way to spare my life?

That's quite easy.

Simply deliver a message to Beiping.

Tell them their families are safe

and that they don't need to worry.

Whose child is this?

- Daddy! - Don't run around out here.

Did you hear me?

Let's have breakfast.

Could you let me out, so I can be with my daughter?

I can.

If you try to escape,

you'll both be killed.

Get moving. Don't play over here.

Come on, you two! Faster! Faster!

Hurry it up!

Go work over there.

Sub-basement 2, east side.

There's a hidden entrance.

The Japanese used to sneak corpses out of it.

The car will be out back across from the alley.

The way you're doing this is too sudden.

And bringing your daughter?

That's dangerous.

He's playing his own game; I can't trust him.

Don't you think it's too much of a coincidence

that he appeared just after the ferry accident?

I think military command might have been trying to create an incident...

Really, your imagination...

- They were trying to frame me... - I'll meet you at the old spot once you're out.

The checkpoint stamp mould.

Be gentle! Don't crush it!

Slowly, slowly...

Don't move too fast.

That's right. A little to the left.

A little to the left.

Now the right.

There we go.

Good. Now pull!

Pull hard!

Be careful.

Be careful.

Over there!

Let's go make a friend.

Come on!

Yes, sir. I'm counting on you.

What is this for?

Thank you.

Evening, gentleman.

What will you have?

Beer.

Okay. Coming right up!

Why'd you do that?

We don't have money!

We have Northeast Army ration tickets, and we didn't bring them!

Cao Chunsheng said he'd meet us here

your beers. Enjoy.

What will you have?

Two glasses of brandy.

All right.

Enjoy.

This is all of my savings.

There you go.

What do you mean by that?

You don't have to pay a good friend like me.

Of course.

it would be rude not to accept.

So, where is it?

The inspections are too strict.

There's no way to get anything in or out.

Every few steps, there's a checkpoint or inspector

who wants your entire career and family history.

Wansan,

honor matters in life.

We had an agreement.

All right, look.

Just what is honor?

How much is honor worth?

If I didn't have any honor,

would you be standing here right now?

You wouldn't be where you are today without me.

All I'm missing is a watch.

If I had a watch,

I would have had your business done right on time.

Fine.

No, what are you doing?

- That's not what I meant. - It's a Cartier Tank; a very rare square-face edition

with a sapphire on the crown.

Actual kings and queens wear this watch.

It's worth at least a hundred silver dollars.

Thank you, my friend.

- Where is it? - Oh, right, right...

Oh, also...

I can't use guns. Even if I take it, it's useless.

The Communists kill without thinking twice.

You have your daughter with you.

Take it, for self-defense.

Take care.

Got a light?

Sorry, no. I don't smoke.

- What are you doing? - Don't move!

What's going on?

Sir, whatever it is, we can talk.

We're all friends here.

Daddy,

what's the matter?

I'm just fine! This nice man just wants to talk with me.

Let's go.

What is this?

We're with the 26th Division, on a mission.

I'll show you my papers.

- What was that? - A gunshot!

Something's happening! In the jeep!

Get in!

Zhang Zhuang! Zhang Zhuang!

This is Li Zhuang, come in!

Target 6, enemy street checkpoint,

high-explosive impact fuse,

reduce distance 150 left 10 degrees,

three volleys. Get ready!

Something is wrong!

Which company are you?

Hold it!

Exit the vehicle for inspection!

Second countdown.

Leave the truck!

Leave the truck!

Five seconds.

Get out of the truck! Now!

Prepare for inspection!

Ten seconds.

If you don't get out, we'll shoot!

Turn off the engine!

Fifteen seconds.

Get out of the truck!

Twenty seconds.

Twenty-five seconds.

Shoot if they don't get out!

Hold tight!

Nice!

Good eyes!

Third volley hit the bullseye!

We're through!

Director Qian,

as you ordered,

I gave him the exit permit.

Perfect.

Absolutely seamless.

[BALLROOM]

Fu Zuoyi has been in contact with the Communists

regarding secret peace talks.

The cards you hold right now

are very valuable.

Silk is worth less than bamboo,

and bamboo is worth less than meat.

Don't you think

she's a better singer than Bai Guang on the Shanghai Bund?

President Chiang doesn't want to see

the peaceful surrender of Beiping.

Intelligence reports indicate

that two days from now, the Communists will launch their main attack.

If we lose control of Tianjin, Fu Zuoyi will likely be forced to surrender

and hand Beiping over to the Communists completely undamaged.

The consequences of that would be unthinkable.

Did you bring what I asked for?

How do you plan...

to deal with the quartermaster?

Tomorrow morning, you will receive a report

saying quartermaster Yao Zhe

deserted his post,

forged an exit permit to pass through checkpoints,

and was shot and killed by the army.

That way,

no one will discover

what happened to the family members.

So,

Tianjin must be held at all costs.

When the Communists attack,

you'll show Fu Zuoyi your cards,

knowing that he won't be able to allow the Communists

to slaughter his subordinates' families.

This move of yours is quite vicious.

I wouldn't say I'm vicious. I'd say the Communist shells fall without prejudice.

I bought this necklace...

especially for you.

It looks perfect on you.

I didn't expect it would be you this time.

Ten years ago in Shanghai—

I killed your father,

your mother,

and the man you loved,

leaving you with ten years of unforgettable pain.

Do you realize...

that you're not the only one who wants to kill me?

But I don't care about their stories,

because I know

they all come to the same end.

Don't come near me!

Don't come near me!

You are an exception...

Because your songs

are more important than your life.

I won't sing for you ever again!

And I won't go to Shanghai with you again!

People need to look forward, not backward.

Forgetting your past

is your best choice.

Do you understand?

Sir!

There's been an incident at the Nanma Road artillery battery.

You can't kill me,

and you can't leave me.

Accept your fate.

Have someone fix the record player!

They were 100mm shells.

There were three volleys.

This was the first volley.

This morning, the artillery battery at Nanma Road was attacked as well.

The results were about the same.

We've also found signs

of activity in nearby ruined buildings

from enemy forward observers.

The Communists

would need to see the targets in real-time,

ideally from a high vantage point.

But our troops have already occupied the high points.

Those red scum must have chosen someplace less ideal.

Stay quiet!

Do you know who we are?

You're the bad guys!

Junlan, don't be rude. They're red sc...

People's Liberation Army.

They treat prisoners of war well.

They'll release us.

People's Liberation Army?

Like my friend Jiefang?

The fact is, when you captured Zhangjiakou,

we knew Tianjin wouldn't hold out for long.

A lot of people here have been waiting for you, including me.

Stop wasting my time. What were you doing at the Nanma Road prison?

Talk!

I...

Daddy, I have to go potty.

Talk!

My daughter has a condition.

Her kidneys are bad. She's never been able to hold her urine.

I... I'm a quartermaster.

I've never been in combat,

and my daughter is sick.

I have to take her for dialysis every week,

or her uremia flares up.

What the hell is this?

Daddy,

I'm going potty.

This... What is this?

Come here.

Let's move.

Let's talk outside.

What about the girl?

I don't know.

She's dead weight.

We can't take her.

We'll give her to Party underground.

The girl talked about Jiefang

as if she knew him.

I thought your son went missing.

What's the deal?

That's ridiculous. How could she know him?

And how do you know about that?

The whole regiment knows.

Why do you think the colonel sent you?

There's something shiny over there.

There's someone sighting us with a range finder over there.

Move out!

Two-Hair! Two-Hair!

Two-Hair!

Two-Hair!

Grab it!

Further down! Further down!

Grab the gun! Further down!

Grab the gun! I can't reach it!

Someone's up there! Grab the gun!

Quickly! Reinforcements!

Grab the gun! There's someone there!

Just go! Grab the gun!

Just go! Go!

Put me down!

Leave me! Go!

Two-Hair!

Go! Two-Hair!

Don't move! Don't move!

Move out!

Let's go!

Now!

Hurry!

Hurry! Hurry! Cut the girl loose!

Come with me!

Upstairs!

Come on! Let's move!

They cut us off downstairs!

Let's go over the roof!

Listen to me. Come on!

- If you tell me any more lies... - Let's move!

you'll never take your daughter to the doctor again!

Quickly! Junlan! Junlan!

Hurry up!

Move!

Hurry!

- Daddy! - Junlan!

Where are you taking me?

Stop shouting! Shout again and I'll gag you!

Over here!

Junlan... Don't move. Junlan.

Come here.

Come here! Come here!

Come down here. Don't move.

Let's move this.

Go away!

Search the area!

- Hurry! Hurry! - Look carefully!

- Search everywhere, thoroughly! - Take her!

They're not over here!

Not over here either!

- Where are they? - Look in the back!

In the back! Over there!

Look for them over there!

They're not here!

- Junlan, we're okay. - Don't move!

Everyone look again!

Come with me.

Fifth Brother! Fifth Brother, we have guests! Fifth Brother!

We have customers!

Fifth Brother!

What's your name?

My name is Yao Junlan.

My name is Lin Moxue,

but everyone here calls me Third Sister.

You were on my dad's boat, too.

Junlan, stop talking!

Don't move!

Congratulations, gentlemen,

and to this young lady, for escaping with your lives.

Before you is the man they call the Fifth Gentleman of the Horse Track.

Most people call me Fifth Brother,

but I've earned the nom de plume,

Son of Saturn.

Tell me...

what we captured you for.

If you tell me,

I'll arrange for you to get out,

and for a doctor to see your daughter.

If you don't tell me,

I'll cave in your head right now!

Stop screaming! Stop screaming!

Let him go! Fifth Brother...

- Stop screaming! - Let her go!

Let me go! Let me go to her!

Let me go to her!

Let her go!

What the hell is all this? Just let them go already!

I can't do that!

He's the only one who can take me to find Two-Hair!

If you turn him over, what about the girl?

I can take you to the military police,

but I can't guarantee you Two-Hair is still alive.

How dare you use that name?

Fine, I understand.

How about this?

After you find him,

release me and Junlan.

You have a deal.

And you have to trust me.

No more ropes.

Allow me to take care of Junlan,

and no one else can touch her.

Junlan, it's okay. It's okay...

We're not responsible if she's in danger!

This was your idea!

Are you scared?

I'll just close my eyes.

Good girl.

The sewers lead to the military police headquarters.

There's one section that doesn't

You'll have to cross a street,

and then you can go down again

and go straight there.

It's 100 yuan a person

so five people is 500 yuan.

I won't charge you for the girl.

Payment up front, full refund if we don't arrive.

You treacherous little monster!

What's wrong with you? You want your country to pay you?

Do you have any money? Let me borrow it.

You didn't bring any money?

I thought you didn't take a single needle or thread from civilians.

Are you a civilian?

I... How am I not?

I've never been in combat. I've never held a gun.

Once we get Two-Hair out and once the mission is complete...

- What are you doing? - I'll pay you back.

That's my wedding ring!

Will this do?

This...

Is that enough?

Yeah.

Back when the Japanese brought Puyi out of the city

to take the throne in Manchukuo,

that was something no Chinese person would allow,

so all the people of the city came out to seal every route out of the city...

Can you stop looking at me?

Until you put the gun down and stop pointing it at my dad,

I'll keep looking at you.

A mouse!

Uh-oh! There's a mouse!

Move! Come on, step on it!

It's on your foot! Out of the way!

It's just a mouse!

Just let me do it! Just let me! Stop it!

It's dead now, isn't it?

The sewer ends at the Hai River.

It doesn't reach military police headquarters at all.

You're lying to them, aren't you?

That's not very nice.

Just listen to me. They're lying to you, too.

They don't have any money.

The ring they gave you is mine.

If you help me get rid of them, I'll make it worth your while.

This gold is a deposit.

Give me back the ring.

This way.

This isn't Xinglong Street.

There's supposed to be a church on Xinglong Street.

The church?

- It's over there. - Yeah, it's over there. That way.

Where?

- What is this place? - I can't tell.

Deserters! Deserters!

Halt! Halt!

Who are you? What's going on? After them!

Reinforcements! I see them!

Come on! Move out!

- Daddy, they haven't come down yet. Be quiet! - Don't talk!

Stop!

- Shhh! - Daddy...

Where are they?

They were here just a minute ago. Look over there!

After them! Let's go! Move!

Over here! This way! Hurry! Come here!

The military police are coming! Help them.

Here, let's go up.

Yan, see him?

That's the guy.

He's really powerful.

He said he can take us out of Tianjin,

and that he can get us ferry tickets to Shanghai.

Connect me to the Logistics Department.

Yan... haven't you always wanted to go to Shanghai?

You and Fifth Brother go first.

When I'm done with things here,

I'll come find you in Shanghai.

Wansan,

it's Yao Zhe.

Help me get another exit permit as soon as you can.

I'll pay whatever you ask.

Where do you want to go?

You won't escape.

Mister! Mister! Mister!

Please, Mister!

We can talk about this...

The sewers go everywhere, you said?

We're sorry, Mister. We'll never do it again!

We were forced! We had no choice!

- Let's go! - I promise we won't do it again!

Please let us go! Please

- Who is it? - No long eyes!

I can't take you to military police headquarters.

They'll arrest me again.

I'm begging you, let us go.

Children aren't good liars.

Why do the military police want to arrest your father?

If I tell you the truth,

will you let my daddy go?

I promise I will

My daddy didn't sink the boat.

What boat?

Get out!

Hurry! Hurry! Keep up!

Nobody move! Everyone sit down!

Military police! Stay in your seats!

Check them one by one.

Let's not take too much of everyone's time.

You! Stop!

Papers!

City West Quadrant, 26th Division.

Which one of these ladies is charming enough

to make you absent from your post?

Call her out so I can see her.

He came to hear me sing.

So you enjoy her singing as well.

Which of her songs is your favorite?

A song you've never heard.

I'm about finished today,

so it's time for you to go.

I'll see you the next time you get a chance to visit.

Hey!

I just captured a deserter.

I think he was also 26th Division.

Do you know him?

Who could recognize him

in such a sorry state?

If you're from the same division,

you're either friends or from the same village.

I'm looking for someone...

named Yao Zhe.

If you turn him over to me,

you can have the deserter.

Is Yao Zhe so important to you?

How important...

is the deserter to you?

Yao Zhe is right here!

Daddy!

Ma Shen!

The guns!

Cai Xingfu!

Cao Chunsheng!

Gun! Take it!

Ma Shen, let's take the back way!

Bring Yao Zhe!

Move!

Get going!

Let's go!

Let's go! Let's go!

Junlan!

Junlan!

Junlan!

Junlan!

Toward the back! Hurry! Move faster!

Junlan!

Faster!

Come on!

Move out! Quick! Quick!

- Go now! - Junlan! - Hurry up!

- Move! - Junlan!

Faster! Hurry!

Junlan! Junlan!

Junlan!

Let me go!

This way!

Hurry!

Move! Move!

Quick!

Hurry!

On the ground!

Move! Let's go!

What the hell is this? Why are they chasing us?

Let me go! Help me!

- Let me go back for Junlan. - Quick, help me!

Quick! Inside!

- Let's get down there! - Get down there!

Hurry it up! Faster! We're almost out of time!

In the hole!

Go

Baoya, are you okay?

I'm okay. Nothing is broken on me.

Are you okay, Baoya?

Don't worry.

Baoya! Baoya! What's wrong, Baoya?

Baoya, what's wrong?

Baoya, are you okay?

- Are you okay? - Baoya!

- Where are you hurt? - Baoya!

Baoya! Baoya!

Bandage.s

- I'm fine. - Baoya!

Xingfu...

Apply pressure

Baoya!

Yan,

list... listen to me.

Stop... Stop trying to take revenge.

Fifth Brother, we'll be brothers again in the next life.

Don't say that!

You're still not finished with this life.

- The military police are here! - Baoya!

Get going! The military police caught up to us!

Hurry!

Fifth Brother lead the way!

Okay.

Hurry!

[Warehouse]

Why didn't you save my daughter?

You're monsters, not people!

Everyone in this city wants to kill you!

There was no way I could!

Calm down...

You just stood there and watched my daughter who was right there,

and you stood there and let her die.

Hey, hey, Xingfu! What are you doing?

Out of my way!

What is it you know?

Why do they want you dead so badly?

Talk! Say it!

He's serious this time!

Will you talk or not?

Have you been a father?

Do you have a child?

My daughter is only six.

Did you see how scared she was back there?

When your people die

or when other people's children die, you care

but her?

You might hate me,

but she is innocent!

Is every Communist someone with no children

and with hearts of stone?

You don't know what you're saying?!

Who doesn't have children?!

Cai Xingfu lost his son

and doesn't know if he's alive or dead!

Shoot me!

Kill me!

Without Junlan,

I don't want to live!

Shoot!

Keep the gun.

Go save your daughter.

- Don't move! - Ma Shen!

Let him go.

You're sending him to his own death.

Go!

If you go out there alone like this,

you won't save your daughter.

What you'll do is kill her.

- Go! - Everybody calm down!

He'll be killing himself, too.

Tell us what's really going on and we'll think of a way.

The people in the prison

are family members of Beiping's defending officers.

Qian Zhuoqun intends to wait until you attack,

to blow them up.

Six days ago, I was responsible for moving them out of the city.

It was 150 people;

mostly women, children, and the elderly.

But...

the ferry had an accident.

We were detained by Qian Zhuoqun.

He secretly locked them up.

He wants to use our side's shells

to kill your side's families.

Why?

I don't know.

I think it has something to do with Beiping.

He wants to provoke the forces defending Beiping

and make it impossible for Fu Zuoyi to control them

to stop the peace negotiations.

So that's what the hell is going on!

The animal...

It's vicious.

This is big news.

I need to report back.

Cai Xingfu is across the street.

Thank you.

Everyone get changed.

Okay.

The areas watched by the military police at the prison will overlap.

We don't have enough people.

This will be impossible without creating a distraction.

You have to find a way to get us inside.

First, you rescue Junlan,

and then I'll get you through the gate.

Of a secret entrance at the back wall,

I'm the only one who knows where it is.

To save Junlan...

The most important question

is Qian Zhuoqun.

How do we trick him into showing himself?

I...

can act as a hostage.

The moment you show your face, he'll shoot you.

What happens to your daughter if you die?

I...

I can make Qian Zhuoqun show his face.

Give this to him and he'll know.

I've hidden some things that might be useful to you.

They're in here.

These are the weapons and munitions you'll need.

Look at these bad boys!

- Have any whistlers? - Yes!

First-rate American weaponry.

If they come, they won't leave alive.

Go!

Move up!

Hey!

Soon,

when I give the signal,

Mei Yan, you save the boy,

and once you do,

place the explosives.

You're here!

Xingfu, is everything ready?

We're ready! Move! Make it quick!

Once we start, no matter what happens out there,

do not come out!

Detonate once we're there!

How do I use this?

Just push it down.

Quick, move the goods!

Okay.

Chunsheng, once we detonate I'll need immediate cover.

- How far away do you need to be to detonate? - I got it. About 20-30 meters.

The girl?

Junlan!

You bastard!

It's me you want dead, not her!

I see you didn't kill her.

Did they mistreat you?

No.

But don't you think it's despicable

to treat a little girl like that?

Don't you think it's despicable

to trick me into coming here

and using them to kill me?

What do I have to do to make you give this up?

When you're dead,

I'll be able to give up.

Why don't you understand?

You don't have the power to kill me.

It's brand new!

Don't touch it!

That was a trap.

Those friends of yours

are dead.

Are you okay?

Let's go!

There's something else I need to tell you.

A full company of military police

are headed toward Quanye Bazaar.

Push it!

Get to cover!

What are you waiting for!

- Push it! - I did!

It's not working!

Junlan, get down!

- Junlan! - Son!

Get down!

Daddy!

Get down!

Get down!

Get down!

Go!

Get word to Xiuping!

Let's go! Hurry! Let's go!

Get in Quickly

Advance! Advance!

Hurry up!

We'll be okay.

Just a second. In just a second.

Just hold on. We'll be okay.

We'll be okay.

In just a second.

Daddy!

- Hurry up! - Daddy!

Now!

Let's get this off. Be careful.

There. You're okay.

Now, hold this. Push hard.

Hold it.

Now pull hard.

1, 2, 3!

You're okay. Now we're going to Hong Kong.

- We're going right now. - But them!

What about them?

Quick! Quick! Quick! Come on.

Quick! Get in!

We've been exposed!

- Pull out! - Pack things up!

Pull out!

Bring the case! Let's go!

- Bring the weapons! - I have them.

- Go! - Faster!

My stuff!

Fifth Brother, where's your telegraph machine?

I'll go get it!

Fifth Brother, come back!

Stay in cover!

Hurry! Quick! Hurry!

Ma Shen!

Hold this. Hold this.

Ma Shen!

You still alive?

Nothing too serious.

Just my karma for throwing

intestines on Two-Hair.

Ma Shen...

Oh, right.

Chunsheng said

that after we pick up Xiuping,

we need to get out of the city.

There's a small steam ferry by the river

and people to meet us on the other side,

but the ferry driver disappeared.

I can operate it.

I'll be right there with you.

Hold tight.

Stay in cover and don't move!

The ferry is just up ahead.

The way might be dangerous. Follow me.

Stay with me. This way.

Get out.

Get out!

- Now! - Calm down.

Maybe there's another route we can take.

There's no time.

We need to clear a path out!

Go! Go!

Tell Chunsheng...

to let me know

when he finds Jiefang!

Hey!

What are you doing?

Mei Yan is still in there!

Xiuping! Xiuping!

Xiuping... Xiuping...

Xiuping? Xiuping?

Xiuping? Xiuping? Xiuping?

Did...

you find...

you find Jiefang?

We did.

He...

found someone to teach him to play the bugle.

The boat is ready.

Your Comrade Ma...

Let's go!

Okay.

You'll be okay. You'll be okay.

Don't worry.

I'm back now. I'm back now.

I'm back now,

so we'll all be okay.

Let's go. We'll be okay.

Don't be scared.

We'll be okay.

Faster!

That's almost as fast as it goes.

If the water gets too hot or the pressure too high,

the boiler will explode.

Xingfu, stop adding coal!

The boiler will explode!

Stop shoveling. She's dead.

Shut up! Steer the boat!

She's dead. She's really dead

Let go.

Your wife is dead!

There's no saving her!

Say that again and I'll kill you!

I'll say it even if you do!

Your wife is dead, and you can't save her!

She's gone!

Xingfu!

We're at war, do you understand that?

How many people have died

because of you

and your daughter?

If you keep this up,

the boiler will explode and we'll all be dead!

Two-Hair is dead!

Ma Shen is dead!

We took Jinzhou and Shenyang with no deaths!

Now we're at Beiping!

Xingfu, what's the matter with you!

We nearly have Beiping!

And my wife!

I lied to her!

I said we found my son!

Stop it!

Where is my son?

Where is my son?

Where is he?

Where is he? Where is he?

Sir...

Sir,

I'm sorry.

Daddy... Daddy...

What's that?

That?

A sunken boat. It sunk two days ago

It's full of dead bodies.

I found a nice little toy though!

This!

Where did you get this?

Just... on the riverbank.

That's Jiefang's bugle.

This is where he saved me.

I remember...

you said

your job was to move more than 100 military family members out of the city,

but the boat sank

and that's when you tried to escape.

The reason you wanted to escape so badly

wasn't just purely because of your daughter.

You killed my son.

I... I don't know.

You killed my son.

I...don't... I don't know anyone named Jiefang.

You heard everything.

She just said it.

She wasn't making any sense.

Junlan,

tell him again

that you remembered wrong.

Say it.

I remembered wrong.

You're a monster!

Tell him the truth!

You're a monster!

Say it!

Daddy...

It's true.

I let Jiefang board the ferry.

There were too many people. The scene was chaos.

I did everything I could to save everyone.

I didn't even have time to watch Junlan.

Junlan!

Daddy!

Junlan!

Daddy!

Catch!

I didn't realize

that Jiefang was the one who saved her.

But after that...

Daddy!

...when I pulled Junlan aboard the boat

Jiefang...

was gone.

It wasn't my fault.

It wasn't my fault.

Then whose fault was it?

It's not your fault

that more than 100 people are in prison waiting to die?

Xingfu, what are you doing?

I'm going to find Jiefang.

Jumping in the water

won't help you find Jiefang!

- I don't care! - I'm going to find him!

We have to get the Kuomintang family members out of prison!

That isn't my mission!

It's his!

Right now, I'm going to find Jiefang.

Xiuping is already gone.

Even if he's a corpse, I'm going to find him!

We can't let the Kuomintang soldiers' families

be killed by our shells!

You can't do this! We can't afford to lose Beiping!

Xingfu!

Here! Cai Xingfu!

Give me your hand!

Cai Xingfu!

You on the boat! Stop the engines

and prepare for an inspection!

Get down!

I'll cover you!

Hurry! Abandon ship!

Abandon ship!

Let's go! Now! Let's go!

Come on!

Hurry!

Quick! Faster!

Jump off the boat!

- Jump! - I'm scared!

I'm scared!

Catch this! Get down!

Help!

Don't move!

Where's Mei Yan?

You take the children

and get somewhere safe.

I'll go find Mei Yan.

Move out!

I'm staying with you. I know the territory.

That's an order.

My home is nearby.

I'll lead you there.

Let's go.

Daddy!

Daddy!

Junlan, don't make any noise!

Move!

Someone over there!

One day, I'll make you pay for this!

This way.

A little more.

Good!

Sir!

The Communists are advancing ahead of schedule.

Ready!

Let him go!

Fire!

Fire!

Fire!

Your troops have fought their way into the city.

I'll be on my way.

Turn it on.

You had the chance to become the most famous singer in the Far East...

...but I respect your wishes.

Also,

sing a song for him.

It might be his last chance to hear you.

Get out!

Now!

Let's go!

This way!

For Pete's sake, would you please loosen this rope!

Slow! Slow!

- Slow! - Wansan!

Yes?

Where were you?

What's going on with you?

It's freezing cold out and you're sweating like a pig.

I'm hot.

All right...

What pretty little treasure did you pick up?

Let me see.

No, come on!

We're all friends here, let me look!

And who is this? Why can't I see it?

Let him... Show it to him.

Show it to me!

Okay, okay...

Show it to me.

Show it to him.

Look at it!

Let me go!

You wanted to see it!

Here, let me show you!

- Who's there? - Don't move!

Nobody move!

If you move, we all die!

Nobody move!

Turn around! Turn around!

Zhe,

if you trust me,

just leave me to handle them.

Don't touch it!

The switch is there! Turn off the machine switch!

Hold on!

Get back!

Move out! Quickly!

Hurry! Quickly!

Let's go!

Faster!

Keep up!

Keep up!

Hurry!

Why are we stopping?

Why are we stopping?

Wansan said the hidden entrance is in this wall.

I've seen people find it before.

Reporting!

Withdrawal complete!

Ready!

Everyone, help!

Hurry! Help us!

Let's go!

It's not here.

Is this it?

Let me through!

The door is here!

This is too slow!

Let's blow it open!

Everyone, back!

Move back!

Everyone, move back!

Kneel down!

On your knees!

Hurry! Keep up!

Mommy! Mommy!

Get back!

Get back!

Keep moving! This way!

Back!

Back!

There's a way out above!

Let's get up there!

Children first!

You go up first!

Everyone, don't push and help move up the kids.

There's an exit.

Let's go one by one.

- Okay. - Don't push, please.

Watch the kids

and protect the radio!

Okay.

Chunsheng!

What's going on here?

All the family members are down here!

What are you doing there?

Help me out!

Give me your hand!

Push!

Push!

I'm stuck! Come out!

Pull harder!

Don't move!

Xingfu!

Down there!

They're all down there!

Help me!

Here!

Xingfu!

Front-line command wants us to change into Red Army uniforms

before the main attack so they can recognize us.

Give her here!

It's okay!

Don't be scared.

- Give her to me. - It's okay.

The girl?

She's at the church.

We've made arrangements. She's safe.

My baby!

My baby!

With all these people,

what are we supposed to do next?

The main column is already at Zhongzheng Bridge.

We toughen up,

bite the bullet, keep going,

and meet them at the Zhongyuan Building on Roosevelt Road.

Come on!

Hide!

We're still two streets from the Zhongyuan Building.

How will we get them there?

Do you have any ideas?

The trolley!

We can use it for cover.

You can drive a trolley?

Yes.

Let's move!

Fifth Brother, hurry up!

Get on your knees! Help her!

On your knees!

Move out!

Let's go!

Hurry up!

Faster!

Hit the ground!

Retreat! Retreat!

Let's move!

Back the way you came!

I was looking for you, you bastard!

Come on! Retreat!

All right!

Let's play a little game!

Hurry! Hurry! Get in!

Quick! Hurry!

Get the kids on first,

then the elderly.

Keep up! Move faster!

Keep up!

Hold on! We'll get you out!

Stay with me!

Bear the pain!

We'll have you to help soon!

Pick him up! Pick him up!

Quick! Move him!

Catch him!

Get back!

Help! Help!

The children!

Get the children out first!

Quick, give me your hand!

Take her!

Over here!

Move back!

Come on!

Get out of there! Come one! Fast!

Glasses, don't worry about things here!

- Go find an observation point! - Okay!

Hurry!

Make it quick!

Got it!

The Zhongyuan Building!

Everyone into the Zhongyuan Building!

Glasses!

How is it out there? How is it?

The column is just up ahead.

Once they reach us, we'll be safe.

The column is just up ahead!

Once they reach us, we'll be safe!

What's that?

Everyone, back!

Get back!

Come on!

Hurry! Scatter!

The second floor! Move!

Everyone to the second floor!

Hurry!

Go! Faster!

Everyone to the second floor!

Take my granddaughter!

Here! Take her!

Give her to me.

Follow me!

Move!

Are you a drinker!

Now?!

Which ones are higher-proof?

Look!

No!

You have to return what you take!

You wanted to kill us, right?

Go ahead!

Do it! Kill me! Kill me!

Come on! Kill us!

Fine!

Kill us if you have the guts!

We'll do it one by one!

Shoot me in the head!

This is life or death for you!

Shots like that won't kill me!

Just submit to your fate!

Hold on. Just hold on.

Why is it so cold?

Am I going...

Am I going to die?

If Junlan asks you

where I went,

tell her whatever you want.

She's easy to fool.

She'll believe you.

And Junlan...

is...

afraid of the dark...

at night,

she needs a lullaby...

before she can fall asleep.

Learn some songs

for before she sleeps...

I'm sorry.

With Jiefang,

I...

really...

did my best...

Yao Zhe...

Daddy!

Daddy?

Where's my daddy?

You're all safe now.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Your father has a very important mission,

so he sent me to pick you up.

We'll wait for him together.

Okay.

We'll wait for him together.
