JIANDONG CONSTRUCTION, MONUNG

TO-PAN, TRILATERAL SLOPES

Hey.

Officer.

Officer.

It's all good stuff.

Where are all these goods being shipped to?

I have the customs declaration, foreign trade authorization document

and customs documents from both sides.

Make up the tax.

Why?

I have all the necessary documents.

Tuo.

I'm bringing this bottle of liquor back to To-pan.

Coincidentally, there was an issue at the border inspection today.

Let's go tell Mr. Cai together.

What about the remaining goods?

Knowing it was fake liquor, you still dared to deliver it up the mountain.

I had no choice.

Suo Wen is going up the mountain tomorrow.

There's no time to get a new batch of goods.

Anyway, nothing went wrong with the liquor before.

Just deliver it first.

Take this batch of goods

to the Mopon warehouse.

We have to tell Mr. Cai first, no matter what.

Tuo!

Tuo is back.

Tuo,

why are you driving Mao Ba's car?

Where's Mr. Cai?

He's meditating in the Buddha hall.

Tuo.

Mr. Cai, something went wrong when I crossed the border today.

The border inspectors have new officers.

They wanted us to pay additional taxes.

Pay them if you must.

The headphones supplied to Landpley lack Japanese goods.

We need to coordinate from other places.

Coordinate if you must.

Also, there is a problem with the liquor

that Ang Tun from Kyu-lawn supplies to us.

What's the problem?

Ang Tun has set up a workshop over his auto repair shop

to make counterfeit liquor,

and he's hiring widely.

Our liquor

has always been supplied by him.

So, what do you want to do?

I asked Mao Ba to bribe a worker at the workshop

to put this mark

on the bottom of each bottle which has fake liquor.

This is a bottle of liquor that I got back from Mwi-syo today.

Mr. Cai,

Ang Tun has been fooling us. He's untrustworthy.

How much

did Ang Tun charge us for the goods?

And how much did Shan Pan charge us for the goods before?

Having been in the supplying water business for over a decade, I always say

that when a lie masquerades as the truth,

the truth also becomes a lie.

Understand?

So,

just keep watching. That's all.

Hello, Tuo.

Someone died on the old road in Mopon.

-And it was a Chinese person. -Chinese?

I've never seen him before.

Let me see his name.

It's Shen

Xing.

Shen Xing.

Damn!

-It has nothing to do with me. -Why are you playing dead? Who are you?

Mao Ba?

Mao Ba?

Mao Ba?

What's going on?

Mao Ba, say something!

Mao Ba!

Are you Shen Xing?

No, I'm not.

Mountain water is the best.

River water is average.

Well water is the worst.

And within mountain water, the water at the mountaintop is clear,

while the water at the foot of the mountain is muddy.

When I brew tea,

I always use spring water from the mountaintop.

Mr. Cai, you are so knowledgeable.

You even know what water should be added to the tea.

Don't be modest.

You should be better than me at adding water.

Mr. Cai, why did you say that?

I really want to know

how you managed

to make the water-diluted fake liquor

here at our place,

deliver it to Mwi-syo

and then transport it back to our place for supplying water.

Mr. Cai, forgive me this once.

With me alone, I wouldn't dare have any ill intentions

toward you.

I am just following orders.

Enough.

Lately, border inspections have been getting stricter.

It's indeed not easy to complete an order.

So, you need to sign a letter of responsibility

for me.

As for the liquor that was transported into the mountain before,

if someone has a problem after drinking it,

you'll bear all the responsibility.

-No problem. -Also,

hand over a security deposit to me first.

I will still buy these goods from you in the future.

Thank you for your magnificence, Mr. Cai.

It's magnanimity.

Magnanimity.

Mr. Cai,

my fake liquor

has been blended strictly according to the formula.

The taste is exactly the same as the real liquor.

It can't be distinguished by taste.

Regarding what you just said, I didn't hear it, and you never said it.

You've signed the letter of responsibility.

If there are any problems, you will bear the responsibility.

Thank you, Mr. Cai.

-Thank you, Mr. Cai. -Ang Tun.

Do you know

-who stuck this chewing gum here? -Dan Tuo.

It's Mao Ba.

So it's Mao Ba.

Mr. Cai,

I'm going to check on my mother.

Tell me. Who killed Mao Ba?

Speak.

Speak now!

Don't kill me. D-don't kill me.

-Don't kill me. -Speak.

Who killed Mao Ba? Speak.

A-A-Ang Tun.

Ang Tun. Ang Tun.

Ang Tun. I shouldn't have gone to see Ang Tun.

If I hadn't gone there, I wouldn't have witnessed the murder.

I-I should have listened to my uncle

and stayed at the construction site

to build the Xinhao Hotel.

I-I miss home.

I want to go back to China.

You… you are all demons.

You all deserve to die.

Mr. Cai,

I'm sure I already threw that person into the Zhuifu River.

I…

-And then? -Dan Tuo is so ruthless.

He fished that person out to give him another severe beating.

I don't know if he beat him to death.

But I guarantee you that I threw him into the Zhuifu River.

What were you thinking?

If I were the killer,

would I have come to surrender with a gun?

It's Ang Tun who did it.

Ang Tun made fake liquor,

and Mao Ba found out.

So Ang Tun silenced him.

I am just the scapegoat.

Where are you going?

You know where I am going.

You fished him out

just to kill him with the gun that killed Mao Ba

in retaliation?

I had that Chinese guy sent back.

Why?

-Scrag. -Why?

Get out. And close the door.

Mr. Cai,

you knew from the start that it was Ang Tun,

so you stabbed the Chinese guy before he identified Ang Tun.

You knew it was Ang Tun.

You have always known it was Ang Tun!

Why?

The police and locksmiths are all supported by thieves.

Even bad guys have their value.

If Ang Tun is gone,

who will be responsible for the issues caused by the fake liquor?

Should we hand you over to the drug traffickers?

Or hand me over to the drug traffickers?

And from whom should we get goods

that need to be transported into the mountains today?

And who will pay

the bribery money

for customs and the border inspection?

I understand, Mr. Cai.

But I don't care that much.

I know this is business.

But Mao Ba was my brother.

-He was my biological brother, Mr. Cai. -I know. I know Mao Ba was your brother.

-My biological brother. -I know Mao Ba

was your biological brother.

Whatever you want to do, I have no right to stop you.

But I have a question for you.

What is the root cause of this matter?

On the night Mao Ba died,

I should have been the one transporting the goods.

That was an accident, not the root cause.

The root cause is that you told him to make that mark

without asking me.

It was

because you acted impulsively.

Do you understand?

I'm sorry, Mr. Cai.

I'm not worthy of following you.

Come. Look at him.

Look at him.

You just fired that gun.

He saw it.

And he would forgive you.

As for what Ang Tun did,

I will hold him accountable.

But not now.

Haste makes waste.

Don't be hasty.

JIANDONG CONSTRUCTION

Xing?

Xing!

Xing? Xing?

Are you awake?

Xing?

Guo.

Where am I?

The second phase construction site.

We built this place together.

Don't you remember?

Why am I here?

I was afraid that Bazi wouldn't give up easily

and would go back to the dorm to look for you.

It's quieter

and a bit safer here.

There are rumors outside that you're dead.

I don't dare take you to the hospital.

Thank goodness you're awake.

Thank you, Guo.

Xing,

you always take good care of me.

So don't thank me.

Speaking of which,

how did you

get all these wounds?

Let's not talk about it.

The people

and things here

are different from what I had in mind.

So, what's your plan now?

Xing,

maybe you should just go back.

I know you're worried about the chief engineer.

Anyway, I will be here.

If there's any news, I'll call you right away.

You nearly lost your life.

If you don't go back now, sooner or later, you won't be alive.

Stay here to recuperate for a few more days.

Wait until you're a bit better, and then you can leave.

Rest a bit more.

Slow down.

By the way, Xing…

yesterday was your birthday.

But you were unconscious.

It's so cool here that

the cake should still be good today.

Happy Birthday, Xing!

Bazi.

Bazi!

Bazi!

Scrag, you've come so early.

You came even earlier than me.

These are health supplements from Landpley.

Very potent stuff.

Present them to Mr. Cai for me.

Potent?

Very potent.

Doing business with Mr. Cai

doesn't need such things.

That day, I saw Mr. Cai's way of doing business.

Only then did I realize how Mr. Cai

could monopolize the supplying water business of the Trilateral Slopes.

There must be quite a few dead bodies in the Zhuifu River, right?

No, there aren't.

That Chinese guy was the first.

That's not right.

He doesn't count.

He was fished out later.

Fished out?

Dan Tuo even let him go.

So he doesn't count.

That Chinese guy didn't die.

He must've told everything to the people of To-pan.

I don't think so.

If the people of To-pan believed him,

they wouldn't have come to get the liquor today.

Then why did they let him go?

Why is there a tear on the packaging of this box of liquor?

Maybe it accidentally got bumped during packing.

This won't do. It can't be stored in inventory.

Gagun,

you guys are checking too meticulously.

What we're delivering isn't drugs.

No way.

Tuo, check this out.

This is Ang Tun's offering to Mr. Cai.

He said it's very potent.

-Ang Tun? -Yes.

If you say he's clever,

he thinks we're murderers.

If you say he's foolish,

he knows to send a gift to please Mr. Cai.

Why did he think we're murderers?

He asked us

if we've thrown many dead bodies into the Zhuifu River.

What did you say?

What did I say? I said no.

That Chinese guy didn't die either, right?

Then I'll take it to Mr. Cai.

Mother?

When I woke up in the morning, she was gone.

I went out to look around,

but I didn't see her.

The gold bracelet was also gone.

Where did she go?

Landpley? China?

Anyway, she doesn't want to stay in Bokang.

She doesn't even want her own child anymore.

I should have never agreed for Mao Ba to go out

and do transportation with you in the first place.

Now, he is dead,

and his wife ran away,

leaving no one to take care of their child.

How am I supposed to live like this?

Mother, don't worry.

I'll take care of my nephew.

How are you going to take care of him?

By letting him go to supply water with you?

Mother, be careful.

What happened?

Did you burn your hand?

Which hand?

You don't have to cook.

Where is Father?

Where is Father?

You fooled me with a pile of scrap metal.

Now,

I can't even recover half of my principal.

Bazi, I didn't deceive you.

-Then why did you run? -Bazi.

You found a Chinese guy

to deceive me.

Bazi, you know,

I even gave your number to his friend.

-I'm definitely not with him. -He is dead.

There's no use talking about this.

Bazi!

Bazi!

Hello!

Are you a human trafficker?

Yes.

Where do you want to go?

I want to go to China.

Can I leave tomorrow?

Sure.

It's just me. How much will it cost?

One thousand yuan.

Where are you?

There have been quite a few operations to get rid of traffickers these days.

It's not convenient to tell you where we are.

I'll send someone to pick you up

at 6:00 a.m. tomorrow.

Okay.

I'll be at the second phase construction site

of the Xinhao Hotel in Monung.

How's it going?

I've made a deal with him.

I'll go back first thing

tomorrow morning.

Take it.

It's your phone after all.

I've replaced the battery for you.

Thank you.

I'm heading back to work at the casino now.

I'll try to finish work early tomorrow

and come back to see you off.

It's all right.

If you're busy,

there's no need to come.

I can manage it by myself.

I'm fine on my own.

Guo Limin,

I've kept your kindness

in mind.

In the future,

if I have the chance,

I'll definitely repay you.

Xing.

All right then.

Men like us shouldn't talk about such things.

Go back and focus on your work.

Let's meet up in China

when we have the chance.

Just go.

Take it easy.

I'm off.

It's fine. Go ahead.

OUTGOING CALLS

CALLING

Hello?

Do you know Shen Jiandong?

What's your relationship with him? Who are you?

Shen Xing,

I know it's you.

You're not dead.

I know you're here.

What did you tell Dan Tuo?

Why did he let you go?

I can see you.

Come out.

Bazi?

I've finally caught you.

You're trying to sneak back to China, right?

Give me back my money first.

-You have an accomplice? -And he has a gun?

Get him.

Take him down.

Who are you?

I've got his gun.

Take him down.

That is my money.

Stop fighting. Shen Xing already ran away.

Is Ang Tun inside?

-Kill him. -I can't do it.

If you don't kill him, he will kill you.

I can't kill anyone. I just want to go back to China.

If you don't kill him, you can't return to your country.

If you hate him so much, why don't you kill him?

I can't kill him.

No one can deceive Mr. Cai.

If you dare to run away again,

I will cripple you.

Let's go.

So many people?

Open the door! Open it! Take me with you.

I'll help you. I'll do anything for you.

I'm going to cripple you.

Who was the one shooting?

Bazi.

Bazi?

Bazi who works for Mr. Duan?

I don't know Mr. Duan.

What's your problem with him?

I owe him money.

Once you kill Ang Tun,

I can figure out a way to pay back your debt.

Don't make empty promises to me.

I owe him over a million yuan.

What will you use to help me?

We have the same goal, and that's why I came to you.

If Ang Tun isn't dead,

don't expect to stay in the Trilateral Slopes.

I don't want to stay in the Trilateral Slopes.

Then I'll turn around now and hand you over to Bazi. How about that?

Keep this in mind.

You said you wanted revenge, so I let you in the car.

How is your aim?

I can't shoot.

What's so hard about it?

Now shoot and let me see.

I really can't shoot.

If you want someone to shoot for you, you have plenty of choices.

Hiring a hitman means there will be no secrets.

I can't do that.

If you can't go, I will go for you.

Give me the money, and I'll hire the hitman for you.

You can spend money to take his life.

He can also spend money to protect his life.

Over time, it will turn into an endless haggling game.

Anyway,

there's no way I could shoot someone.

Murder is against the law.

Get out of the car.

Take a look.

With a two-million-yuan bounty on you, I wonder where you could run.

Get out. Now!

Will you shoot this gun or not?

Do you still remember

when I went to your place?

When I was just about to identify Ang Tun,

your boss stabbed me.

Is it because there's something special

between him and Ang Tun?

Mr. Cai has his own thoughts.

I'm asking you one last time.

This is not a matter of shooting.

Ang Tun isn't a target that cannot move.

Moreover, I can't be the shooter. I don't know how to shoot.

Listen to me.

Since you want me to help you,

you have to trust me unconditionally.

Hiding things

won't get the job done.

What do you say?

If the liquor previously sent up the mountain

is found to be fake,

someone must go to take the blame in front of the drug traffickers.

That's why Mr. Cai kept Ang Tun. Do you understand?

That means

if the drug traffickers find out about the fake liquor,

they will kill Ang Tun.

Don't even think about that.

Ang Tun has the formula, and he can make the fake one taste real.

That's why Mr. Cai kept him.

Then we can…

We can let the drug traffickers find out the liquor is fake, right?

After all, what he gave them was fake liquor.

When the time comes,

Ang Tun will take the blame, and you'll have your revenge.

No one will suspect you.

Okay. Work with me when it's time.

I'm begging you.

I'm really begging you.

Isn't that the method you wanted? I've already told you.

You can do it yourself.

Just add some methanol to it.

Making fake liquor is not complex.

It's supplying water that's complex.

The so-called "supplying water"

is actually about supplying the drug traffickers in the mountains

with living supplies.

It has nothing to do with drugs.

Drug traffickers have a lot of money but can't spend the majority of it.

They can only pursue the ultimate luxuries in food and drink.

So our tobacco and alcohol are all imported,

though the cost of bribing the border inspection

doubles every year.

The border inspection in the north is too strict,

and there are no loopholes for us to exploit.

So we usually get our goods from Mwi-syo of Landpley

and transport them to the Trilateral Slopes through the Kyu-lawn checkpoint.

The poppy fields are concentrated in the north of the Trilateral Slopes,

so we built a warehouse

in northern Mopon.

One round trip is over 400 kilometers

and usually takes a full day.

The drug traffickers can bear these costs.

It's all right now.

How did you end up owing money to Bazi?

The foreman ran off with the money.

So I borrowed money from Bazi to pay the workers' salaries.

You're quite honorable, aren't you?

Things are to be handled one by one.

Let's get rid of Ang Tun first.

Do you hate Ang Tun that much?

You don't have to worry about the debt collectors.

You can hide in the bamboo hut

where I fished you out.

Could you slow down a bit?

It's too bumpy, and my wound hurts.

The road to the warehouse is much better than the one when we walk mountains.

What does "walk mountains" mean?

Supplying water has two phases, fetching water and walking mountains.

Fetching water is transporting goods to the warehouse.

And walking mountains is delivering goods

to the drug traffickers.

Why not deliver the goods all in one trip?

For supplying water,

the most important thing is to know the drug traffickers' location.

Also, it must be handled by people the drug traffickers trust.

And the fewer, the better.

So, the only person

the drug traffickers trust is Mr. Cai, right?

Does he walk mountains personally?

He used to.

Now Suo Wen does the job.

He is mute. He has no tongue.

He has no tongue, so he can walk mountains?

He needs to walk mountains, so he has no tongue.

We can't tamper with the goods in advance.

I'm only responsible for fetching water.

Once at the warehouse, there are people who check the goods.

What do you mean?

Are we almost there?

You can hide now. Stay well hidden.

The warehouse accountant is called "Oil Lamp".

He is from Landpley.

He speaks the languages of several neighboring countries.

The other guy is called Gagun.

His only job is to check the goods, so he is very thorough.

If the packaging shows signs of being opened,

he will note it down and ask about them.

So we can only let Ang Tun's liquor get stored first.

And you will need to go into storage with it.

Is your information reliable?

She definitely went out through the Mokang River.

She stole my mother's gold ring.

Why didn't she take the boy with her?

If she dared to take the boy with her, it would have been much more troublesome.

Mao Ba's child is our child as well.

If you need anything, just ask.

I would be so grateful if you could spare me the returns.

The warehouse is the only chance.

Once Oil Lamp counts the goods,

they can't be moved again.

What's left is just to wait for Suo Wen to come and take them.

Why have you come again today?

Some goods were out of stock earlier in Monung.

I brought them over as soon as they were replenished.

Put them in the warehouse first.

Scrag said that a batch of goods last month was incorrect.

Check if it was misrecorded for me.

I must have recorded it correctly.

Dan Tuo.

Wait for me at the door.

Suo Wen.

Who is he?

Scrag spout nonsense.

If you don't believe me, look at the list yourself.

Who are you?

Did you bring him here?

I came alone. I don't know him.

What's going on?

What's going on?

He asked for directions.

Are you Chinese?

Yes, I am.

How did a Chinese guy end up here?

I was hiking.

I am a tourist.

There isn't anything to see here.

The supermarket.

I'm buying water to drink.

-How much is it? -Are you lost?

Get out.

Go down the mountain road, and there will be a village ahead.

Leave.

Kneel down.

Mr. Cai, listen to me.

This is absolutely impossible.

I strictly followed the formula.

I try each batch of liquor before it goes out.

There's absolutely no way you can tell that it's fake.

The matter of the fake liquor has been exposed.

Whatever you say now is useless.

Unless someone…

Unless? Unless? Save these words when you are

in the mountains. All right?

Say those in the mountains.

Dan Tuo, that's enough. Dan Tuo, enough!

You're beating him to death.

Shan Li Tou.

Let him go up the mountain.

See?

What do I usually tell you?

Don't rush anything you do.

You didn't need to act, and Mao Ba's death will be avenged.

He reaps what he sows.

Tie him up.

One reaps what he sows.

Dan Tuo.

You don't need to go.

Go out and see

if you can find some other liquor.

We can agree to any price.

The supply chain has to remain intact.

Mr. Cai, rest assured.

Oil Lamp.

Suo Wen.

You can go up the mountain alone, right?

How did it go? Did it work?

-It worked. -Can I go now?

You can't go back yet.

What? What happened? What are you doing?

I did you such a big favor.

Are you disposing of me?

Go. Go.

Dan Tuo.

-Move. -What are you doing? You're despicable.

-Dan Tuo, what are you doing? -Move.

Dan Tuo.

You've got quite the nerve to do this right in front of Mr. Cai.

Let me explain.

-You must be out of your mind. -Tuo.

What are you doing?

Where are you running off to?

Hey, are you Chinese?

My people saw you.

Immediately after that,

something went wrong with the goods transported into the mountains.

Tell me.

What happened?

I don't know.

It has nothing to do with me.

You appeared at the Mopon warehouse then you showed up here,

with Dan Tuo around both times.

Were you following his orders?

So you mean

it was all done by him alone?

Well,

you couldn't do it alone.

Neither could Dan Tuo.

The only possibility is that you two worked together.

Is Dan Tuo the one who took you to the warehouse?

I really don't know.

Mr. Cai, I accept the punishment.

Deal with me as you wish.

Whose idea was this?

It definitely wasn't yours. You don't have that kind of intelligence.

Do you know that he took advantage of you to get rid of his own troubles?

He manipulated you.

No. It was me who took advantage of him.

If I didn't kill Ang Tun, I would be letting my family down.

How many times have I told you?

And you haven't listened to me.

-Are you treating me like nothing? -Mr. Cai,

I'm sorry for doing that behind your back.

But Ang Tun must die.

He had only himself to blame for what happened today.

He got what he deserved.

Without him, we could look for other liquor suppliers.

That is my workshop.

Kyu-lawn's border inspections are getting stricter every day.

And they are charging us more money each day.

If this continues, how are we supposed to survive?

But why

would Ang Tun kill Mao Ba?

It's because the middleman invested in him, but he didn't know.

I owe you

for Mao Ba's death.

But this matter has to end here.

We need to find a new supplier. There's no time left.

I have already found a way.

We can turn to Mr. Duan, who works with Mrs. Ma.

Mr. Duan is now Mrs. Ma's biggest border trade subject.

And his liquor is all guaranteed hard currency.

Mr. Duan?

How did we get in touch with him?

Through that Chinese guy.

He owes more than a million yuan to Mr. Duan's henchman.

They are looking for him too.

I was preparing to take him over there in exchange for liquor.

But now that you've killed him,

there is nothing I can do.

He wouldn't betray you with a gun to his head.

That young man is rare

in the Trilateral Slopes.

Speak now.

The liquor from Ang Tun was fake to begin with.

I don't know anything.

They say Chinese people are smart.

A smart person should say smart things.

I'm giving you one last chance to speak.

What did you mean, Mr. Cai?

You fired two shots,

and he didn't sell me out?

I didn't kill him.

You can trade him for liquor now.

Judging by your look,

I guess you don't want to trade him anymore.

The decision is up to you.

Dan Tuo.

Dan Tuo.

It's him, right?

Dan Tuo!

You deceived me with scrap iron.

Did you think I didn't have any backing

and am a fool?

Have you beaten him enough?

Mr. Duan is waiting for you.

I've brought a truckload of pineapples today.

I'll let you have your fill.

Bazi has left.

Bazi won't trouble you

anymore in the future.

What you owe him

is 1.35 million yuan in total, including interest.

Now you owe me instead.

I'll deduct it from your salary for supplying water.

Each trip for supplying water pays us 20,000 yuan.

And the driver's cut is 2,000 yuan.

Now you owe Mr. Cai 660 trips.

It will take about two to three years.

Only then can you start earning money for yourself.

You've wanted to sell me out for a long time.

If I hadn't done it this way,

this matter wouldn't be settled.

Do you mean your revenge

or my debt?

Both.

I wanted to sell you out during the day, but now I'm helping you.

Fuck.

Can you still walk?

Come on.
