HAISHAN GEM MINE, MOKOK

MARKET, MOKOK

Gagun. The count is correct, right?

Once you log the goods in, I'll go back to To-pan.

Dan Tuo.

-About what happened to Mao Ba-- -It's all in the past.

Don't mention it anymore.

The truth is, at that time, Ang Tun…

Every time when checking the goods, Ang Tun asked about the time and route.

That time, he tricked me, saying the goods were sent incorrectly

and needed to be retrieved.

Like I said, it's not your fault.

Everyone has their own fate.

If you don't blame me, I'm relieved. Otherwise, I couldn't even sleep.

Oil Lamp said that Chinese guy was reliable.

He looks about the same age as Mao Ba.

What do you mean?

When Mao Ba first arrived, his first few runs were also to Mokok.

I just think it's a bit coincidental.

Coincidental?

His trip is not at all what it seems.

Duan Si

died,

and it's not a big deal.

That bastard,

he wanted to get that kid killed

and make him disappear from this world

so that the Pigeon Blood Gem

would be his.

But I found out.

So I saved that kid.

As for this gem, it was originally yours,

so I brought it to you.

Duan Si really caused some trouble

behind your back.

Tuo came to your office wanting to steal something

and got beaten by Duan Si so brutally that he couldn't even speak.

Duan Si did that because he's the one who gave Tuo the key.

He didn't want others to know that, and even less for you to know.

Now you know.

Tomorrow, we'll eliminate the possibility of a second collapse for Mine Shaft No. 3.

The company will find Duan Si

and handle his funeral affairs.

Starting today,

Ganting will be your supervisor.

You must all work diligently to earn money.

Ge Ganting! Ge Ganting!

Ge Ganting!

Mr. Wu.

Mr. Ban is still worried. He needs to check it himself.

How's the packing of your stuff going?

I don't have many things, just a bag.

And this.

Everything's packed up.

Thank you for the gem.

You're welcome.

If it's yours, it belongs to you.

If it's not yours, even if it's given to you, you can't take it away.

Duan Si didn't understand this.

Ganting doesn't understand it either.

Mr. Wu, didn't Duan Si go

to save that kid?

That thief is done for.

What happened?

A temporary checkpoint

was set up on the road to stop cars leaving our mine.

We were delayed for too long.

He died before making it to the hospital.

Xing, I'm leaving now.

Take care.

Bro, do you want to have one?

Oh, girl, pretty girl

Do you want to have one?

Don't keep the young man waiting in vain

Bro, do you want to have one?

Girl, do you want to have one?

Wish you good luck.

Wish you good luck.

A temporary checkpoint

was set up on the road to stop cars leaving our mine.

He died before making it to the hospital.

-Xing, I'm leaving now. -Take care.

What's wrong?

Hey!

We are in a hurry. What are you doing?

We're out of gas. We can't stop here. I'm going to get gas now.

I said we're in a hurry. What are you doing?

I need to get some gas.

-I'll be back in a moment. -What are you doing?

The truck is out of gas.

Is anyone here?

-Yes. -I need gas.

-How much? -Fill it up.

Hello?

Dan Tuo, something is off.

What do you mean?

What do you mean? Last night,

I took a look at the fuel gauge, and it was full.

Today, the truck only went for a few kilometers

before the fuel went out. Someone drained my fuel.

I've been targeted.

Where are you now?

I don't recognize the place, but I found a gas seller.

I'm refueling right now.

Then hurry up and get in the truck.

Go back the exact way you got there.

I can't get out. Listen to me.

The border gate is under strict inspection.

As soon as I finish refueling, I'll head straight back to the mine.

You guys can come pick me up there.

Back to the mine? What do you mean?

Do you really not know, or are you pretending?

The whole world knows about what's with Wu Haishan, right?

I know what you want me to do.

You want me to bring that gem back to you, right?

And you had him hide it inside the puppet.

I know all about it.

But now everyone is watching him.

Everyone coming out of his mine has to be checked.

I heard yesterday that an injured person who left the mine

died on the way because of the delay before making it to the hospital.

Say something. Don't play dumb.

Shen Xing, the situation inside is indeed beyond our expectations.

How about this? I'll go to the border gate and wait for you.

-Let's talk when we meet. -If you want to find me or get this gem,

hurry up and get to the mine.

It's impossible for me to go toward the border gate.

Many people have died because of this. It's beyond my control.

Doesn't my life matter?

It's done.

The red-scarved guys are here.

-What do you mean? -The red-scarved guys

who have followed me since I crossed the border.

Hello? Shen Xing?

It's not here.

What are you guys doing?

Are you all right?

Do you know those people?

The red-scarved guys?

Aren't they from Bokang?

Mr. Cai, shall I go in?

Is your old habit acting up again?

-It's the same. -What do you mean?

Back then, something also happened

to Mao Ba when he was on the phone.

-Then his call was cut off. -He owes me over a million.

He didn't even manage to pay back a fraction of it.

Why did I send him in?

It's because

everyone knows your face.

Are you preparing to put yourself in danger again?

What should we do about that gem?

Wu Haishan is inside. Don't rush.

Let's figure out the situation before we act.

You want me to bring that gem back to you, right?

And you had him hide it inside the puppet. I know all about it.

It's not here.

Don't be fooled by appearances.

Sometimes, it appears

to be a crisis.

But if you look at it from another angle,

it could be an opportunity.

THE DUKE OF ZHOU INTERPRETS DREAMS

DREAMING OF A BUTCHER, DREAMING OF A BLACKSMITH

A whole emerald!

A whole emerald!

A whole emerald! A whole emerald!

Hello? Mr. Cai?

Are you Chinese?

Do you need any help?

I want to find the phone number of a place in To-pan.

But I don't know how to.

Can you help me? It's for a logistics company.

Thank you.

The logistics company.

Okay. Thank you.

My dear, once that watch is sold, we'll leave.

King Kong will never be able to find us.

Listen to me.

The counterfeit money issue

can't just go away like this.

Calm down. Put the knife down, then we can talk.

All the money is in the bag. Take it all.

Just take it all.

This is not enough!

Listen to me. Don't talk to me about the boss.

The watch was sold to you.

You have to repay me!

Can I take that?

I was negotiating a deal. I guess there's a reply now.

If I close the deal, I'll have the money to repay you, Mr. Sun.

This is Anquan Wang.

Is it Wang Anquan? This is Shen Xing.

We met at the market the other day.

Mr. Shen, I'm glad you called me back.

-Tell me if you have made a decision. -What's all this nonsense?

I want to ask you something.

How much can you sell a ruby for?

The price of a ruby depends on its quality and how red it is.

It's a pigeon blood gem.

A pigeon blood gem? What about the size?

About the size of a pea.

If it's about the size of a pea,

it can be sold for 30,000 dollars.

Mr. Shen, are you selling it?

Then,

how about one the size of a thumb?

A-a thumb?

A thumb-sized pigeon blood gem?

Wait. Mr. Shen, where did you get a thumb-sized pigeon blood gem?

From Wu Haishan's gem mine?

It's none of your business.

Just tell me how much a thumb-sized one is worth.

-Is it worth 1.4 million yuan? -1.4 million yuan?

Mr. Shen, 1.4 million is about right.

I need to see the gem before I can--

Hello? Mr. Shen?

Why did he hang up the phone?

Did you hear that? Did you?

As long as I close this deal, your money is nothing.

I can pay you back easily. I can even double the money. Right?

He hung up on me, so what? What do you think I am?

I am Know-It-All, and I have the sharpest nose.

In the entire gem market, there is no news I can't sniff out.

I will find out where he is. You know?

I'll be the first to know.

Rest assured.

The mine is so far. Will you follow me there?

-Of course, I'll follow you. -All right.

Don't play tricks on me.

The two of us can't just walk there. Can I take a cab?

THE DUKE OF ZHOU INTERPRETS DREAMS

There is a book, but it's been torn to shreds.

Only the book's binding is left.

There's nothing inside.

It's probably the same group of people that stopped the car before.

They're getting more violent.

How are the people in the truck now?

Hold him tight and gag him.

Send my regards to King Kong when you get back.

Help me.

King Kong wants you to hurry back to work.

I'm on my way.

Mr. Wu, the two opera performers are dead.

The Chinese man is not in the truck.

He is Mr. Cai's man.

We can't just let him go missing. You have to find him.

They said he made his last phone call at a gas station nearby.

Got it.

A landline?

Mr. Cai.

That gem is gone.

What about those people?

The two opera performers are dead.

Shen Xing is missing.

Wu Haishan said he would send someone to help us look for him.

Will he take it seriously?

I will also send people to look for him. Don't worry.

So, how's the freezer going?

The goods from Mwi-syo are almost ready.

Take them all to Mopon and get ready.

Okay.

Anquan, it's me.

I know.

I've been expecting your call.

So, did you ask for me?

Is there a potential buyer?

Of course, this is my line of work.

I need to have a look at the gem's quality first.

The price varies greatly according to the quality.

How about this? I'll find a safe place

for us to meet.

I'll find the place.

I'm right by the border gate.

There's a market over there. Let's meet there.

What a coincidence! I was thinking of that place too.

I'll be there in about ten minutes.

Okay.

AQUARIUS SANDPIT

Help!

Help!

For such a big deal, you should have found a quieter place.

There are too many people here.

Let me see it.

It's so small.

Didn't you say it was thumb-sized?

I can't just hide a thumb-sized one in my mouth.

I have that one hidden.

Not there. Stop.

It's not here.

Mr. Shen,

the gem from Wu Haishan's mine is top-grade.

Everyone is looking for it.

If you don't show me, how can I believe what you say?

So you know that everyone is looking for it.

If I didn't have it, why would I say I did?

Just to lie and create trouble for myself?

Do I look crazy to you?

Sometimes, some people may look honest and innocent,

but their actions can be unpredictable.

The truth is, if I were you, I would definitely hide it first

and then sell it after the heat died down.

My situation is a bit unusual.

I very, very urgently need some money right now.

Why is that?

I owe a big shot

back in the Trilateral Slopes a hefty sum of money.

And I can't find my uncle either.

I've mortgaged all of his construction equipment.

I need to get the money fast to get back the equipment,

find my uncle and bring him back to China.

All these things require money.

Wait. Are you serious? You're making it sound so pitiful.

Believe it or not, it's up to you.

Wait.

How about this?

You mentioned 1.4 million yuan on the phone earlier.

I'm okay with this figure.

So come with me to withdraw the money now.

And then, the gem for the cash, all right?

-Hold on a second. -Sit.

Yes, I mentioned 1.4 million yuan.

But that was the price on the phone just now.

Wait. What do you want now, Mr. Shen?

Listen to me. This is a national treasure now.

Even the Ministry of Mines is looking for it.

Do you think it's worth only 1.4 million yuan?

Even several million yuan wouldn't be enough.

You can't buy this gem on your own.

I mean,

aren't you Know-It-All?

Don't you know a lot of people? Find me a big buyer.

And you can be the middleman.

I'll give you a 20% cut, no matter how much the gem is sold for.

20%?

I'm not doing it for 20%.

-That's a lot already. -If it's not a 50-50 split, I won't do it.

Are you out of your mind?

I have the gem after all.

I went through so much trouble to get it.

All you'll do is move your lips, and you want half?

Listen to me. Take only what's yours.

If it's not yours, you can't keep it, even if I give it to you.

Mr. Shen, do you know how difficult this is?

It's not easy at all.

First, if you're around Mokok, you won't be able to sell it.

This area is full of the watchful eyes of the Ministry of Mines and the market.

As soon as you show your face, bang! You'll be shot.

You can only go to the Kyu-lawn border,

visit the stalls with high transaction volumes

and sell it to one of those European buyers.

All right. How about this?

I'll give you another 10%, okay?

30-70.

You called me when you got to the border gate,

which means it's under strict inspection.

Without me, you can't get out.

If it's not a 50-50 split, I won't do it.

-You insist? -Yeah.

-So we have to split it in half? -Right.

Okay, I'll ask someone else then.

Wait, this is negotiable.

Let's talk about it.

How about 40-60?

-So we agreed on 40-60, right? -Rest assured.

I gave you counterfeit money. So what?

I'm begging you. I was wrong.

You are so full of yourself. You made a fuss as you wanted.

And you think you can go as you want?

Listen to me.

Someone wants to sell a pigeon blood gem through us.

He's handling the deal, so he deliberately kicked me out.

-He's using you guys. -What did you say?

There is a pigeon blood gem

that came from the Haishan gem mine.

It's about the size of a thumb.

Besides the border gate and the grinding factory,

this is the only path that you can take to get out.

You can go down from here and turn right.

And then you can see there's a very, very long

and old rope bridge.

See them?

Very few people know about this path.

They know.

When the peasant women from the village go out

to trade and do business, they will take this path.

Seeing people around must be reassuring, right?

As long as people take this path, we can take it too.

There's no need to worry.

After crossing the bridge,

how much further do we need to go until we can see the highway?

Twenty kilometers.

If you want to take the pigeon blood gem out,

just follow those women over there.

Turn around. Turn around.

Such bad luck.

-What's going on? -I don't know.

Usually, there wouldn't be any checkpoints on this path.

Er…

So Mokok is a dead end.

How do I get out of here?

The river… It's not that wide all the way, right?

We can wade across the narrow and shallow areas, right?

No need to wade. I know how to get out through the border gate.

Are there mercenaries nearby?

No one's wearing a red headscarf. Not a single one.

They took it.

And then they started infighting again.

Most likely.

The people at the gas station said they acted long ago.

Did you find that Chinese guy?

If they've already started infighting,

the boy shouldn't be in danger anymore, right?

Do we still need to find him?

Then, how about this?

Go to the gem market right now and spread the word.

Starting today, keep a close watch on every stall.

Wang Anquan, you do have your ways.

You even know people in the temple.

And they were actually willing to lend the robes to you.

Of course.

Who am I?

The truth is, bhikkhus are considered first-class citizens here.

Wait. Although we are wearing the robes,

our hair will reveal us.

The keys are these.

With these, we are bhikkhus.

What on earth is written here?

It doesn't matter. The key is the Buddhist title on it.

Wait. This picture doesn't look like me at all.

Xing, you have to trust me.

Whether it's the government forces or local militias,

no one dares lay a finger on a bhikkhu.

Back then, that general in Bokang

was so powerful.

But after killing two bhikkhus, he was overthrown right away.

Let's go.

Is that thing far away?

No. It's in the sandpit beside the border gate.

What? How could you leave

such an important thing there, with people always coming and going?

Won't it be found?

Don't worry. There's a sign there.

I hid it under that sign. No one will dig it up.

I can't believe you.

Can you still ride… Wait.

Can bhikkhus even ride a motorcycle?

Of course, they can. Get on!

Wait.

Shouldn't we go all out when disguising ourselves?

You still have yellow hair.

Dye it.

Rest assured, Xing. I'm Wang Anquan.

Haishan, given the situation, there's no need to worry.

Mr. Cai, thanks for your consideration.

However, Shen Xing is your man.

I said not to worry. So just forget about it.

Aiso's wedding is only a few days away.

The most important thing is to retrieve the gem.

What's the origin of the red-scarved guys you mentioned?

They're mercenaries, the dirtiest bunch.

They can pass through the border gate.

So they must have been hired by the Ministry of Mines.

We businessmen really shouldn't mess with them.

As for the gem, I'll continue looking for it.

But I don't think it will make it to Aiso's wedding.

I'll think of some other way.

It's okay. Thank you.

Go away!

Go away!

Anquan, I'll buy something to eat on the way.

Wait for me for a moment.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

Get up. Get up now.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

AQUARIUS SANDPIT

Mr. Shen, it's a misunderstanding.

I just wanted to confirm that it was here in advance.

Who is Mr. Shen?

-King Kong? -You sure can run.

You wandered around all afternoon.

Move. I know what you're up to.

No. I simply wanted to find it in advance to give it to you.

-It's a big thing. -Move.

Are you toying with me?

Are you kidding?

Go.

Hurry.

Turn your socks inside out.

Put on your shoes.

Take your things with you.

Move.

Wait.

Bhikkhu, show your certificate.

Not your ID, your certificate.

Sorry.

Please cooperate with the body search.

No. No.

Please stop.

Is he from your temple?

A bhikkhu holds compassion in his heart.

In the eyes of Buddha,

those with compassion deserve respect.

Soldier, what do you think?

Yes, I'm sorry.

Master, please forgive us.

Wait, Officer.

The one with hair cannot leave. They are not together.

Go away!

-What are you doing? -They're really not together.

All right.

I'm going out through the border gate now, all right?

Oh…

Where is the thing? Where is the gem?

Tell me! Where did you hide it?

I really don't know.

Where is it?

Are you looking for trouble? Daring to make a fuss here.

-What are you looking at? Take him! -Understood!

Come with me.

Move!

You've got the wrong person.

Honey.

Look, what is this?

I found a whole imperial emerald.

Whatever you want, I'll buy it for you.

I'll buy you a house.

I'll buy you a car.

If you have any problems, you can tell me.

Why won't you forgive me?

Look.

Honey.

I'll buy you a car.

I'll help you buy a house.

Isn't it nice, honey?

Honey?

It's such a fine imperial emerald, and you don't want it?

Look, it's a whole imperial emerald.

If I buy you a car, will you forgive me?

You don't want it? This is such a good thing.

It's an imperial emerald.

Mr. Cai, look.

Where's the problem?

These are all damaged. They can't cool the air at all.

-Have you checked all of them? -Pretty much.

Isn't this too much?

They dare to sell second-hand goods at full price just by repainting them.

Does the merchandiser in Mwi-syo think we are fools?

Mr. Cai, what do you think?

We haven't bought too much.

It's still not too late to change the supplier.

It won't make much difference.

Not many people aren't corrupt in the Trilateral Slopes.

No need to go through that trouble.

Take these machines to Mopon,

plug them in and test their cooling effects.

Later, check again to see which one can still work.

Keep it if it works, return it if it doesn't.

Okay.

In poor places,

people are all vicious dogs that scramble at the sight of money.

Mr. Cai, have you heard any news about Shen Xing?

Wu Haishan doesn't have any spare time.

So he sent his men to watch all the stalls in the Trilateral Slopes

and wait for that gem to show up.

So I guess he doesn't have time to look for Shen Xing then.

Haven't I told you that I've arranged people to look for him?

What else do you want?

I find that you really treat that kid like Mao Ba.

I just feel that I haven't told him anything,

and I am…

You said on the phone that you would go back to Wu Haishan.

Then why didn't you go back after getting the gem?

I didn't dare to.

-There are too many eyes on him. -And you never thought of contacting us?

I thought about it.

But I can't read the language here, so I couldn't find a way to contact you.

How did you find it?

On the way back, I found it by chance.

By chance?

You guessed it yourself. Why not admit it?

He says you're clever. Just admit it.

It really was unintentional.

Do you know that this gem is very valuable?

-I know. -Then have you thought

about keeping it for yourself?

My trip to Mokok this time

will count as two trips for supplying water.

All right, one trip.

No, one hundred trips.

Is it because this gem is worth that much money?

The value of a gem is ascribed by people.

What's valuable isn't the gem

but people.

Then, Mr. Cai,

may I

ask you a favor?

I'd like to exchange these one hundred trips

for a favor from you.

I know you have many connections in the Trilateral Slopes.

With your resources,

finding out where my uncle is should be a piece of cake.

Dan Tuo says that your phone is gone.

Use this from now on.

Just take it. What are you waiting for?

All the brothers in To-pan use this.

Thank you, Mr. Cai.

What's wrong?

Anything else?

We didn't expect it to be so dangerous inside that place.

It's all right.

Take the car keys.

Mr. Cai didn't tell you beforehand

because he was afraid that you'd expose yourself

if you knew too much

and wouldn't be able to pass the border gate.

He was afraid I might keep the gem to myself.

I understand.

You all have your reasons.

Sis, you eat first.

-I'm not hungry. -Go ahead and eat.

-You eat first. -There is more.

Sister.

-What is it? -It's a pigeon blood gem.

P-pigeon blood gem?

Hello? Hello?

What's wrong? Is there news about my uncle?

Yes, there is.
