Come Back Home (2022) - full transcript
A man loses his son while travelling in the snowy mountains.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
Come on.
Let's have another go.
Get over there.
Toss it to Lele.
Come on.
Go. Get over there, honey.
Let me help.
- Come on. - Push.
Mama.
It's just a game for kids.
No need to get serious.
But I almost got it.
Let me try again.
Just once, okay?
But can you take it home with you?
One last try.
Yeah!
Thanks, Papa.
Lele.
To scoop a goldfish,
you've got to do it slowly.
Be patient,
don't rush it.
Take it easy.
Slowly...
See?
We made it, right?
So where shall we keep it?
Come on, honey.
Watch it. Hop in.
There you go.
You want it?
Yes! I want!
Don't spill it!
The more you want, the less I give you.
Let's go and have an early night.
We have a morning flight
back to Shenzhen tomorrow.
But what about Lake Tian?
Not this time.
I checked,
the road to Lake Tian is closed.
No!
I want to see the Lake Tian Monster.
I promised my buddies I'd take photos of it.
Hi.
The road to Lake Tian is closed.
Is there another way?
Where's Papa?
What’s Papa doing?
I have no idea.
I think he's getting directions.
So there's still hope, right?
Cheer up.
Not as good-looking as my little goldfish
Are we on the right track?
There must be people living around here.
We may need some luck
to reach Lake Tian today.
I think I've hit something.
Let me check.
Be careful.
Stay in the car, kids.
I’m going to help Papa.
Duh. We're stock in a ditch.
Need a hand?
You take the wheel.
You take the wheel.
OK,then you push it.
I got this.
Here we go!
Papa, what's up? What took you so long?
Can we call a tow truck?
Relax.
Lele.
Papa needs to drive and navigate.
He had no rest. It's hard on him.
Stop making excuses.
We won't make it to Lake Tian.
What took him so long?
- Lele, why did you get out? - Mama, I want a drink.
Don't wander off!
Don't do that, Lele!
Why not?
Didn't they teach you at school
to care for the wildlife?
We don't have wildlife at school.
Lele!
Come back!
Okay.
Papa! Mama!
Look! There's a car!
- This way we can get to Lake Tian sooner. - Ready?
This way we can get to Lake Tian sooner.
We're almost there. One more time.
Done!
Lele!
Honey!
Are you okay?
Leaving your car around is bloody irresponsible!
Read my lips!
I'm sorry.
I'll go to jail if I get the kid killed!
I'll go to jail if I get the kid killed!
Is everything alright?
Sorry for my boy's indiscretion.
Sorry.
Did you hurt yourself?
You scared me.
How many times have I told you?
Never wander off!
You almost get us killed. See?
Buddy,
apologise to Papa.
No, no way!
You're a badass!
- You promised! - What did you say?
You promised
To take us to see Godzilla in Japan!
Then you promised me the Lake Tian Monster.
Don't hold me back!
I don't like you!
I hate you!
You brat!
Brat!
Stop it!
Get back in the car!
Get in!
This is too much.
I'll teach him a lesson.
What's the point of all these?
Drive around.
Mama, I can't hold it anymore.
Okay.
Find her a toilet quickly.
It'll be fine in a few minutes.
Come on, honey.
Get going.
Come.
Be'careful.
Excuse me,
where can I find a toilet?
Lele.
Lele!
You're pardoned!
Lele.
No hide-and-seek.
Lele!
This is not funny.
Okay.
I apologise.
Will you forgive me?
Lele?
Don't be mad at me.
Lele!
Lele!
Lele!
Have you got him?
Hurry up, the girl is hungry.
The boy's gone!
What?
Then go find him!
Don't worry. I'm on it.
Lele!
- His name's Lele, right? - Lele.
Where did you lose him?
Along the way.
I know it's along the way.
But where exactly?
It's...
a small trail up the mountain.
Look.
This spot
is our police station.
Try to gauge where you lost him.
Erh...
Which is that...?
So only three people drove there?
Yes.
The officer was asking me
where we’d lost Lele.
Does the trail has a name?
I have no idea.
I've just checked.
Your kid
was lost at Qi's forest farm.
Qi's forest farm
is right here on the map.
See... Songhe Forest Farm.
Right.
Remember where the car broke down?
There's a metal tower nearby.
Yes.
It was...
the watchtower
Who are you?
I am the boy's father.
I looked all over, but...
I propose...
we do a sweeping search.
Can you do a sweep?
I need to assess the situation first.
I don't even know what we're looking for!
How did you lose him?
Our car broke down
close to the watchtower.
And we got out of the car...
Qi told me everything,
that the three of you drove to his farm
without the boy.
We were looking for a toilet...
And he drove off on his own?
He went back for our son.
In another word,
on your way to the farm
you have already lost the boy?
- And then... - It was near the tower...
after dropping you off at the farm,
he went back alone for the boy.
Correct?
Yes.
My wife has already told you
we lost our son near the watchtower.
Cut the bullshit!
I need your help.
Find our son
will you?
This southerner is so rude!
Get a grip!
We must follow the protocol.
Why are you shouting at me?
I’m not. I lost my child
and I'm desperate.
I bet! But we got to do this step by step.
Now you're shouting.
Am I really?
- You have to understand... - Be reasonable.
We must establish all the facts.
Be reasonable, okay?
It's pitch-black out there.
Where do we even start?
What happened?
I asked you what happened.
Why took so long taking a statement?
I've never seen him before.
Never, I'm sure.
No
Thank you.
Here you go.
Okay, thank you.
Thank you so much.
Just leave it over there.
Thanks. Put it right there.
Stand back! We're setting off fireworks!
Chief.
What's going on here?
It's not the time to put on a show.
Last year,
a woman went to collect firewood.
She also lost her way
and couldn't get out.
We set off fireworks right here.
She saw them finally
and came home all by herself.
Chief, we got something.
Had a good look?
It's a deer.
Let's call it a night.
Roger that.
Your daughter is fast asleep.
You'd better take her back to the hotel.
No, we can't go.
Perhaps your son has already made it back.
You go back first.
Come on.
Go on. Get in for a rest.
How's it going?
I'm exhausted.
Chief, you should have a rest, too.
I reckon we need to widen our search
across two kilometres at least.
Bullshit!
We have not even covered one.
Two kilometres?
It will be goddamned dawn by then.
What's going on?
What's the matter?
Let's have a respite.
We can't sustain this physically.
Tell everyone to rest where they are.
What's going on?
Your men are off to sleep.
You aren't even trying!
Do you understand respite?
We've been at this non-stop since six.
It's been over 20 hours.
You have problem with us taking a break?
Didn't I made myself clear?
Respite! A short break, understand?
My son...
can't wait for a break.
Do you want money?
What kind of trash talk is that?
What do you mean?
I'll do it myself.
I dare you to say it again!
If I'm not in uniform,
I would have kicked your butts!
What's wrong with him?
We've had enough trouble with his kid.
If we lose him as well,
it will be hell!
Who does he think he is? Arrogant fool!
Go after him now!
Go!
Buddy!
Buddy!
Buddy!
Lele!
Lele!
Lele!
I'm totally knackered.
What do you think you're doing?
You're messing up our operation.
You're wasting valuable rescue time!
You're nothing.
He's only eight.
At his age,
in this weather,
in such extreme cold,
if he'd fallen into the water,
how long could he survive?
How long could he survive?
Cover yourself with the blanket.
Don't catch a cold.
He's safe.
Excuse me?
Are you a tourist?
Is there something bothering you?
Actually, for something like this,
you should turn to the Internet for help.
Usually, when a case goes viral,
netizens will pick it up quickly.
Once it starts to trend, everything will be easy.
Anyway, there's nothing more you can do.
Shall I post it online for you?
Well, but...
Let's give it a try.
Come on,
let's add each other on WeChat.
Gather a few photos
and the boy's info,
send them to me.
Even stray cats and dogs
could be found with the Internet's help,
let alone a child!
If I can't find Lele,
you'll hate me forever!
Calling HQ.
Approaching 127.28 East,
41.42 North.
Visibility is low.
No visual ID so far.
The golden window for rescue is 48 hours.
The golden window for rescue is 48 hours.
His chances will diminish after that.
The boy has been missing for 15 hours.
Without food and proper clothing...
his clock is ticking.
Be prepared!
Okay, roger that.
Careful with the comm devices.
Yes, sir.
Xiao Jiang.
The bureau just called.
Due to adverse weather,
the helicopter has to abandon mission.
What are you doing here?
Captain.
We're the parents.
How do you do?
This scarf belongs to Lele.
It should have his body scent.
It may help the search dogs.
It's been washed!
Yes, I did.
I'm sorry.
Can we still use it?
Dongzi.
I'm Xiao, captain of the Songhe SAR team.
They're from Baiyun,
a team of civilian SAR professionals.
I'm in charge of this operation.
Take us with you.
Captain,
no matter what happens to our kid,
we want to be there as parents.
Absolutely!
Okay.
You can come with us.
But you must follow my orders.
Of course. We will.
Team One, to the east.
Team Two, to the south.
Team Three, to the north
Team Three, to the north.
Team Four, follow me to the west...
Remember.
Safety first!
Safety first!
Let's roll!
Yes, sir!
Lele!
Lele!
Lele!
Lele!
Lele!
Captain.
We’ve got something.
Lele!
Chief, we found
The branches were snapped recently.
And the ground has been trodden on.
Could Lele have fallen into the pit?
It's hard to tell.
Mi.
Prepare to descend.
Is it Lele?
I'll go down to check.
Dead.
It can't be.
No, it can't be!
No! No!
Impossible! It can't be Lele!
It's not Lele!
It's not Lele!
Alright! Stop it!
- I'm going down! - Calm down!
- Let me through! - Calm down, okay?
We're not sure if it's your son.
Go away!
Stay back!
You're mistaken.
Calm down!
You're mistaken.
Go away!
Please tell me,
it's not my son.
Say it!
It's a wolf.
It's not Lele.
It's a wolf.
It's a wolf.
It's a wolf.
It's a wolf.
It is just a wolf!
A dozen people from other teams just arrived.
They'll be under your field command.
Tell them to meet us by the river.
The road to Lake Tian
is closed off here.
We'll continue our search downstream.
Let's divide into three or our teams.
Lele said he was going to Lake Tian.
How do know that?
Because I promised to take him
to see the Lake Tian Monster.
We'll stick with my plan.
Let's look downstream.
Can't you spare a team there?
Come on...
Just look at how wide the river is.
You won't be able to cross it,
let alone your child.
We can’t go on a wild goose chase,
wasting our resources.
Have faith in our professional judgment.
What if I could find some clues?
I want to see the Lake Tian Monster.
What's the matter with you?
Take three men with you.
Let Rumeng...
Mi! Help me with it.
Come back!
Come back!
Come on out!
One!
Two!
I'll teach him a lesson.
What's the point of all these?
Let's drive around and come back.
Drive around.
Leave him alone in there.
He needs a lesson.
I heard...
something!
Did you hear it?
I heard my son,
he's calling me.
Don't wander off.
Don't wander off.
Lele.
Papa is coming for you.
The down jacket.
Minxuan!
The down jacket!
It's Lele's jacket.
The down jacket.
Look.
It's probably his!
Cut this out!
Stop linking everything to your son!
Throw it away, okay?
Unbelievable!
Let me have a look.
Stick with the plan.
Keep searching downstream.
No!
No!
My instinct tells me...
Lele wouldn't go downstream.
He would have headed for Lake Tian.
I know he would...
I'm sure he would.
Pack your gears.
- Keep searching... - No.
Stop packing! Minxuan...
Don't let them go downstream! No!
Give me!
Captain Xiao.
Captain, please trust my husband.
Lele must have headed for Lake Tian.
I gave him a good smack.
He felt wronged
and ran inside a hut.
I just wanted...
to teach him a lesson.
I went back five minutes later.
But he was gone already.
It was my fault.
Are you nuts?
You're wasting precious rescue time!
Dongzi, calm down!
Cool it!
What the heck do you want?
Calm down!
I deserve it.
Give me the walkie-talkie.
Let's split into two groups.
The first
continues the search downstream.
The second goes uphill.
Mama.
I'm saving this for Lele.
He loves a chicken burger.
Where's Lele?
Lele...
He will be back soon.
I was starving so I ate half of it.
Will Lele be mad at me?
Why would he?
No, he won't.
Do you know
how much Papa loves you and Lele?
Really?
Give Papa a big hug.
Excuse me..
I'm sorry.
Here.
Look.
Many people posted online that they'd seen Lele.
Check this out!
Captain! Captain!
We got news. Look...
One said he’d seen Lele at Qianjiang Valley.
Someone else spotted him at the Holy Matriach's Temple...
Do you know where Qianjiang Valley is?
Let's go!
It’s on the border.
We're talking about a child here.
To get there, even adults like us need a day.
And the Holy Matriach's Temple?
We call this baloney where I come from!
I have never heard of it.
Perhaps he was talking about
the other Lake Tian in the northwest!
- Minxuan, get in! - What are you doing?
- I just wanted to ask... - Get in!
Get in! -Get out!
Why did you pull him?
You call that pulling?
Stop taking things out of context!
So you believe everything online?
Okay.
I can write a story and post it online, too.
I'd say you abused your child
by abandoning him in a snowy forest.
You even took away his scarf.
Do you buy this?
Look!
It's escalating...
The story has gone viral like wildfire!
Look.
Stories about the missing kid are trending.
They're a bunch of trolls,
having nothing better to do.
Captain Qian's in trouble!
What's wrong?
Minxuan, get in!
- I just wanted to ask... - Get in!
Get in! -Get out!
So you believe everything online?
I'd say you abused your child
by bandoning him in a snowy forest.
You even took away his scarf.
You even took away his scarf.
Do you buy this?
£ f«lkh il 1+ k Ije H
What baloney were you talking about?
What's that for? Look at you.
What do you want?
Why do you think I was talking baloney?
You know the kind of person I am.
I never tell a lie.
He’s been braking a fool of us from day one.
We wasted a whole day for nothing.
I'm telling you.
You'll be in deep shit
sooner or later.
He's coming.
Let's go!
Captain, we're from Notease News.
We have a few questions.
As an officer, you confronted the victim's family.
How do you explain this?
Okay, okay.
Look, let them continue the search.
I'm in charge here.
I can answer your questions.
Chief.
Why did you condone your subordinate
to conflict with the victim's family
Conflict?
Let me answer.
How can there be conflict?
Chief, can I say something?
It's a misunderstanding.
Can I say a few words?
Let me tell you something.
As journalists,
you must report the facts!
What are the facts?
Yes, do tell!
Did you question his attitude?
Did you ask him how he treated his son?
Please explain yourself.
I don't owe you any explanation.
I have made myself clear already.
He abandoned his sg .
And he's blaming us for it.
Does it make sense?
Wait!
Please tell us more.
Well... Look..
He's coming...
Go ask them about it.
Let's go!
Come on...
Sir!
- Lock the door. - Can you give us an interview?
Can you tell us something?
Please tell us something.
Sir!
Sir!
Stop taking pictures of my child!
What are you doing?
Is it true what the captain said?
Did you really throw the child away?
Are you his wife?
Do you know the whole thing?
Are you worried now?
No camera!
How did the child disappear?
Is the weather so cold enough for children
Do you have anything to say about the previous video?
Don't rob my camera.
Don't be impulsive. Give me back the camera first.
And the video...
Do you have anything to explain
Tell us about it
What's the matter? Are you okay?
You've gone too far!
Let's all calm down. Stop filming.
Everyone except the search team please leave!
Take her to the hospital at once.
Yes, sir.
I'll say this up front.
This is a matter of life and death.
Anyone who interferes with the operation
will be held accountable!
Resume the search!
- Sure. - Yes, sir.
Now, hold it yourself.
Did I do something wrong?
Shush.
Was I wrong in everything I did
and every decision I made?
This case is getting a lot of attention.
Our superiors are taking it seriously.
Tell me.
What on earth happened?
Director, you mustn't believe online rumours.
The fact is that this man
dumped his kid along the way.
Did you take this statement?
Why it doesn't say what you just said?
In this state of mind,
you're not fit for this operation.
Return to the station.
Did you buy the wrong phone case?
Look.
It doesn't fit.
Have you thought about it?
Papa's coming! Get up there!
Hurry up!
Don't let Papa find us.
Lele!
Now everyone is saying
that he had killed his child.
Ignore those online horseshit.
But even if they're horseshit,
it's already beeft two days.
Not even an adult could survive,
let alone a child.
Even if we can't save him,
we must recover his body.
The most talked-about topic
is the boy who has gone missing.
In fact, people have started to raise doubts
about the boy's disappearance.
Perhaps his parents could give us an explanation.
Perhaps his parents could give us an explanation.
Papa, you are on television!
By leaving a child alone in the wilds,
was it to educate
or to punish?
What on earth
made a father do this?
As parents, should we all
reflect on our attitudes
towards educating our offspring?
What are you filming?
The director is speaking with your wife.
Please wait.
You can take a seat over here.
Has your husband ever hit your son at home?
Hard?
Once in a while.
When Lele got on his nerves
he will get physical.
But every time he did,
he'd be remorseful afterwards.
Whenever he got mad,
how did he calm down?
I'd talk to him.
After a while, he'd be fine.
But what if you're not there?
Erh...
What if I'm not there?
Mama.
Honey.
I brought you some iced tea.
Goa your brother to join.
Lele.
I got you some iced tea.
Lele?
Lele?
Where is the boy?
What time is it?
Didn't I ask you to pick him up from Xixi's?
Oh, I forgot.
You didn't go?
Xixi's mom?
Is Lele still with you?
No.
She said he'd left when you didn't show up.
She said he'd left when you didn't show up.
I'll go find him.
But where?
He's back.
Brat where did you go?
Where have you been?
What happened to your arm?
What happened?
You had us really worried
I tripped over on my way ome.
Don't run off the next time.
Lele is a big boy now.
He needs more than my company
on many different things.
During weekends,
he runs, plays basketball or football.
These are the things
that I don't manage well.
So I guess...
he may need his father's company more.
Did your husband drive off
to pick up your son alone?
Yes, he went off on his own.
That is to say,
whatever happened later,
you were not present.
Did you do this on purpose?
What are you saying?
Because you don't need us.
You're more content on your own,
aren't you?
What are you saying?
You are always like that at home.
You..
Either rage or keep mum.
Why don't you say something?
Mama I'm done.
I don't care about you anymore.
We'll take a cab ourselves.
We've got your kid. Bring $100,000 to the market!
Come alone. Call the police and your boy's dead.
Move your ass!
Get in!
Get in!
Here you are.
Got the money with you?
Where's my kid?
Bring him in.
No!
How can you do this?
Bastards!
Lele! Don't be afraid!
Papa's here for you.
Open it!
Money!
Open it!
I've got to see
if it's my son.
Give us the money! Give us the money!
Stop!
How could you?
Here.
It's all yours.
Let the boy go, okay?
Let's go.
Let him go!
You bastards!
Give me back my boy!
What are you doing?
Don't move!
Arrest them!
Sir!
Don't move!
It's alright.
It's alright.
It's alright.
It's alright.
We'll take them back for questioning.
The abducted kid is from the next county.
When did you know
that he's not your son?
I knew once I heard him.
Not bad.
You bit the bullet
and never let go.
You've got guts.
I'm sure his parents want him back.
As much as I want mine.
You're not such a bad guy
except for your blabbermouth.
Know what a blabbermouth is?
It takes one to know one.
But what brought you here?
I was tasked to keep an eye on you.
It's snowing too heavily now,
suspend the search and return to base camp.
Let me take you back to your hotel.
No.
I'm going to base camp.
Let's resume tomorrow.
This team has gone around...
in circles.
It should take another route.
I want them to...
You can't stop.
Please don't stop.
It's gusty outside.
The temperature is plummeting.
It's dark and dangerous.
We have to suspend operation.
There's no way a kid could walk to Lake Tian.
Even tough guys couldn't withstand this weather.
Does it matter if it's a man or a kid?
I think he knows perfectly well
the fate of the kid.
Leaving the kid alone in the wilds
in icy condition.
How could parents have the heart to do this?
His young life
has just started to blossom.
I beg you
give my son Lele
another chance,
okay?
Please
I'm begging you.
No...
Get up... What are you doing?
It’s not over. Get up.
Come on. Get up.
Get up...
Listen...
Whether we want to continue,
let's vote
by a show of hands.
I’m not going.
It's a waste of time.
You're all coming along, right?
Count me out.
Look,
Erh..
those who didn't
raise their hands
will continue the search.
Those who raised theirs
can go home now.
Don't worry.
No one can blame you.
Really.
Chief.
Perhaps he's been pulling our legs all along.
You've said so yourself.
It's possible.
It's also possible that the kid is still alive.
In this weather,
how long can a kid last out there?
Thirty years ago,
in weather just like this,
three kids
lost their way in the forest.
Their parents called the police.
We mobilised every officer.
And they were joined
by folks from nearby villages.
We searched for three days and nights.
Finally,
we found one of the boys.
Alive?
Alive.
But at that very moment,
the blizzard worsen.
Everyone was exhausted,
and couldn't continue.
Everyone was saying,
in total darkness,
there was no hope.
That we should quit.
Did you?
We left.
The very next morning,
our comrades
found the two kids' bodies.
Just 30 meters away
from where we stopped.
Thirty meters.
If we hadn't given up so soon,
perhaps the two boys...
could have been found.
The sole survivor that day
is now among us
That's me.
The pledges
are still echoing in me.
Keeping our faith
against time.
In the biting blizzard,
in the frozen world.
Oh, goodbye, my friend.
Goodbye. Goodbye.
Moving our tired bodies
forward without fear.
forward without fear.
Bravely breaching danger.
Yesterday we didn't
have time to say farewell.
Oh, goodbye, my friend.
Goodbye. Goodbye.
Until the day
we meet at the finishing line.
And talk about the past, with smiles and wine.
Oh, goodbye, my friend.
Oh, goodbye, my friend.
Goodbye. Goodbye.
Move our tired bodies
forward without fear.
Bravely breaching danger.
Oh. goodbye, my friend.
Oh, goodbye, my friend.
Goodbye. Goodbye.
The pledges
are still echoing in me.
Keeping our faith against time.
In the biting blizzard,
in the frozen world (Oh, goodbye, my friend).
Goodbye. Goodbye.
Moving our tired bodies
forward without fear.
Bravely breaching danger.
Moving our tired bodies
forward without fear.
Bravely breaching danger.
What's wrong?
Captain.
We couldn't find any track in the snow.
Chief.
None of the team has managed
to find human tracks in the snow.
That's to say... - Chief, it's for you.
It's impossible that the kid could've walked on!
There must be another path!
We have searched all over.
The point is,
as long as someone has walked by,
he would have left tracks behind.
You can't miss them.
No matter how heavy it snows,
their tracks cannot be fully covered.
I just heard from the hospital.
A Shanghainese man just came out of a coma.
His car rolled over near Lake Huang,
and suffered head injury.
He crawled to safety by himself
and was taken to the hospital by a passing car.
According to him,
two days ago around 7 pm,
he picked up an unconscious kid near Houxia Road.
It's Lele!
The kid could still be inside the car.
It's our only hope.
I suggest
we find out where the man was picked up.
Look,
tell everyone
to proceed to the new target!
Let's go!
Yes, sir!
Oh, goodbye, my friend.
Oh, goodbye, my friend.
Goodbye. Goodbye.
Until the day
we meet at the finishing line.
And talk about the past, with smiles and wine.
Until the day
we meet at the finishing line.
And talk about the past, with smiles and wine.
This is Lake Huang.
We’ve combed the area.
We couldn't find your kid.
Lake Huang
has another shore.
Do we go over the lake?
Or around it?
It's hard crossing over.
Let's go around it.
Okay.
Attention, all teams.
To'the south slope.
Gather our gears.
Prepare are to leave.
Let's go...
We're ready to go.
Here we go.
Did you hear that?
An avalanche!
Run!
Stretch the formation!
Go either side!
Go either side!
Go either side!
Run!
Go either side!
Run!
Run!
Go!
Quick!
Hide underneath a rock!
Let go!
You have to live!
Chief!
Captain.
Captain.
Are you okay?
Go find the others.
Go help the others.
There's someone here.
Chao,
Chao,
come check it out.
Keep looking.
Chief!
Chief!
Captain!
Chief!
Chief!
The temperature is now minus 31.
Wind direction 320 degrees, wind speed 3 m/s.
Wind direction 320 degrees, wind speed 3 m/s.
Approaching target. Prepare to land.
There's someone here!
Come on!
Come on, dig!
Harder!
One.two,three,come on!
One,two,three,come on!
One,two,three!
Pull him out!
One,two,three!
We're airlifting a badly-injured over.
Alert the hospital.
Director.
We have found most of us.
Many of them are hurt.
We may have to send them to hospital in batches.
Okay.
But chief and his father haven't found them yet.
What's wrong?
What is it?
The Chief...
is gone.
Cut the crap.
Chief!
Mr Bai!
Chief!
Chief!
Get up, we still have a job to do.
Stop shouting.
He's tired.
Maybe just exhaustion.
He hasn't slept for days.
Chief.
Why are you crying?
Director, let's find a medic.
You aren't ready to retire yet.
Why did you...
A-De.
What a storm! The whole place is flooded.
I don't think anyone can come.
What can we do?
Not even a hurricane could break us up.
So that's it, then.
Shall we start?
Okay.
No second thought?
That I'm bad luck and a liability?
What a nightmare!
More or less...
A total write-off!
He's'smiling, still smiling.
He's so cute!
Let's have more abies.
We don't have money to raise a big family.
51?
I'll work hard to make more.
Don't you want more?
Have a taste.
Lele.
Lele.
Lele.
Give it back to Papa.
See?
Boys are so full of mischief.
He has to run around though there's little room.
You should blame yourself.
Why put a drink on your papers?
I've been working his for three months.
Three months.
You know what?
UK tuition costs $250,000, even more in the U.S.
Don't dwell on this everyday.
What's the point of planning now?
It's too early.
The kids are still young.
China's education is good, so are the colleges.
Must you send them abroad at such expense?
The more you fix, the worse it gets.
What should I write in the report?
If we don't cover this up,
- we won't have a job. - Are you joking?
- we won't have a job. - Are you joking?
If we dare to do this,
we'll all end up in jail.
Where's everyone?
The builders took the money and ran.
I'll go find a job.
No way.
Who'll look after the kids?
I'll have time when they start school.
You haven't worked for years. Who will hire you?
That's not what I meant.
I won't discuss this.
Let’s not talk about it.
I didn't stop working for ten years...
Just to please myself.
Okay? Okay?
Don't worry. I'll take care of this.
Awesome!
Are we really going to the snowy mountains?
Mama!
Let's go.
Let's go on a trip.
Mama!
Do you mean it?
Yes!
Mama!
That's amazing!
Papa
Papa!
Wake up!
Papa!
Wake up!
Papa, don't sleep.
Wake up! Don't sleep!
Watch out for the bears!
Over here.
Over here!
It's good to see you.
An avalanche.
I'm here.
We ran for our lives.
I know.
And the others...
A-De.
Nurse!
- I need to find my son. - What are you doing?
I need to find my son.
I need to find my son.
Lie down!
I'm fine.
Uncle.
Before my father died,
did he say anything?
Chief...
No.
Bai!
Bai!
My father was due to retire next month.
Just to save your son,
he's now dead.
I'm sorry.
I'm very sorry.
Bai.
Screw your apologies!
Listen to me!
You get going
Uncle.
Okay. I'll stay still.
Behave yourself.
Bai!
Everyone knows the truth.
But no one has bothered to tell you.
Only my father
was foolish enough to carry on.
Okay.
Let me be the bad guy.
Listen carefully.
Your son is dead.
Dead!
Dead!
Watch your tongue!
You killed your son.
I didn't.
You killed your son!
Shut up!
You killed your son!
- Shut up! - You killed your son!
Shut up!
You shut up.
What are you doing?
Stop it!
Bai!
My son is still alive!
Shut up!
Bai!
Bai!
Bai!
That’s enough!
Don't stop me, uncle!
WT
Break it up!
Stop it!
Uncle, your hand...
Enough!
Have you had enough?
Don't you know it’s a mess already?
Put down your knife.
It's all my doing.
It's my fault.
Are you happy now?
I'm begging you...
Okay?
I deserve to die.
I deserve to die.
I deserve to die.
You..
Put the knife down.
Put it down
I deserve to die!
Put the knife down!
If you die,
I don't want to see you in my next life.
Leaving your car around is bloody irresponsible!
Read my lips!
I'm sorry.
I’ll go to jail if I get the kid killed!
A Shanghainese man just came out of a coma.
His car rolled over near Lake Huang,
He crawled to safety by himself
...was taken to the hospital by a passing car.
He picked up an unconscious kid near Houxia Road.
The kid could still be inside the car.
I want to see the Director.
Dongzi.
I want to see the Director.
Ask Director Gao here.
We'll resume the search in the morning.
Now, move aside.
Does he have a death wish?
I killed my son.
I'll bring you to him.
Take him away.
Perhaps you have confessed.
But I know what's on your mind.
That your son is on the other side of the lake.
But you have to understand.
If we can't find your son,
I will hold you accountable.
I know.
Alright.
Pick a few fit comrades for your advance search.
I'll organise the rest.
As soon as backup arrives,
we will come and join you.
Yes, sir.
Why do we have to do this?
Every minute counts,
we've no time to lose.
Let's go.
Zhang Xiaoming.
I'll take him over.
Captain, this is out of order.
I'm pulling rank on you.
I take full responsibility.
Uncuff him.
You'll ride with me.
I'm waiting for your return with Lele.
The man who brought the Shanghainese
said he found him injured
somewhere around this spot.
Don't move!
Captain.
The ice is delicate and dangerous.
The ice by the lake is too thin.
If it isn't solid and well set
we'll be in trouble if we fall through.
Besides,
look at the snow on the ice.
It looks like yesterday's avalanche.
And we can't be sure what's in there.
Call for backup.
No.
This is all my fault.
I'll go alone.
Can’t wait!
Do everything to get help.
444
go, go, go.
Hold on.
Captain.
The ice is about to fracture.
We can't allow so many people on it.
You'll need tools.
Ice pick.
Shovel.
Let's form a triangle to protect him.
Make sure you are well strapped!
Lele!
To scoop a goldfish, you've got to do it slowly.
Be patient, don't rush it.
Pull!
Lele, wait for me.
Wait for Papa.
I found a bear's footprints!
Papa won't leave you behind.
I know you're waiting for me.
I know you're waiting for Papa.
Lele!
Get up, Lele!
Lele!
Lele!
Dongzi, check over there!
Hurry, they are drifting off to the centre.
Dongzi!
The tools!
Launch the rocket!
- Hang in there! - Hit it! Hit it!
Hang in there!
Hang in there! Help is on the way!
Hurry!
This way!
Come on!
This way!
Hang in there!
They’re right down there!
Stay alive!
Stay alive!
Stay alive!
Go!
One,two,three!Go!
Can you hear me, kid?
We couldn't find the father.
Keep searching!
Don't give up!
Yes, sir.
Let's call a truce, okay?
You're pardoned.
Okay?
Alright.
Forgive me.
Okay?
I'm here
to say sorry.
Okay?
Lele.
Did you hurt yourself?
Are you okay?
I am okay.
Do you know how dangerous...
I'm sorry, Papa.
Come here.
You freaked me out.
Catch a bad chick by her toe!
Eenie, meanie,
miney, mo!
This time I won!
Come on.
Be careful... honey.
The pit is huge!
Look at that!
- Nice? - It's actually a volcanic crater.
Can you see it?
Is it spewing flames?
This volcano is dormant.
What's that dark shadow?
Look at that, sis.
It's the monster.
Monster.
Amazing!
Are you happy now?
Yes!
Papa, you're awesome!
- What a big monster! - Awesome!
Lele, you're awake.
Mama, where's papa?
I saw the monster.
He hugged me.
Lele.
Shall we bring him back to Shenzhen?
Let's bring him home...
Together.
Promise me
that you must outlive me.
I won't let you die before me.
Do not worry
I'll never leave you alone.
It's a deal.
No.
I'd better go first.
But you can't renege now.
I'd better go first.
Yeah.
Come on.
Let's have another go.
Get over there.
Toss it to Lele.
Come on.
Go. Get over there, honey.
Let me help.
- Come on. - Push.
Mama.
It's just a game for kids.
No need to get serious.
But I almost got it.
Let me try again.
Just once, okay?
But can you take it home with you?
One last try.
Yeah!
Thanks, Papa.
Lele.
To scoop a goldfish,
you've got to do it slowly.
Be patient,
don't rush it.
Take it easy.
Slowly...
See?
We made it, right?
So where shall we keep it?
Come on, honey.
Watch it. Hop in.
There you go.
You want it?
Yes! I want!
Don't spill it!
The more you want, the less I give you.
Let's go and have an early night.
We have a morning flight
back to Shenzhen tomorrow.
But what about Lake Tian?
Not this time.
I checked,
the road to Lake Tian is closed.
No!
I want to see the Lake Tian Monster.
I promised my buddies I'd take photos of it.
Hi.
The road to Lake Tian is closed.
Is there another way?
Where's Papa?
What’s Papa doing?
I have no idea.
I think he's getting directions.
So there's still hope, right?
Cheer up.
Not as good-looking as my little goldfish
Are we on the right track?
There must be people living around here.
We may need some luck
to reach Lake Tian today.
I think I've hit something.
Let me check.
Be careful.
Stay in the car, kids.
I’m going to help Papa.
Duh. We're stock in a ditch.
Need a hand?
You take the wheel.
You take the wheel.
OK,then you push it.
I got this.
Here we go!
Papa, what's up? What took you so long?
Can we call a tow truck?
Relax.
Lele.
Papa needs to drive and navigate.
He had no rest. It's hard on him.
Stop making excuses.
We won't make it to Lake Tian.
What took him so long?
- Lele, why did you get out? - Mama, I want a drink.
Don't wander off!
Don't do that, Lele!
Why not?
Didn't they teach you at school
to care for the wildlife?
We don't have wildlife at school.
Lele!
Come back!
Okay.
Papa! Mama!
Look! There's a car!
- This way we can get to Lake Tian sooner. - Ready?
This way we can get to Lake Tian sooner.
We're almost there. One more time.
Done!
Lele!
Honey!
Are you okay?
Leaving your car around is bloody irresponsible!
Read my lips!
I'm sorry.
I'll go to jail if I get the kid killed!
I'll go to jail if I get the kid killed!
Is everything alright?
Sorry for my boy's indiscretion.
Sorry.
Did you hurt yourself?
You scared me.
How many times have I told you?
Never wander off!
You almost get us killed. See?
Buddy,
apologise to Papa.
No, no way!
You're a badass!
- You promised! - What did you say?
You promised
To take us to see Godzilla in Japan!
Then you promised me the Lake Tian Monster.
Don't hold me back!
I don't like you!
I hate you!
You brat!
Brat!
Stop it!
Get back in the car!
Get in!
This is too much.
I'll teach him a lesson.
What's the point of all these?
Drive around.
Mama, I can't hold it anymore.
Okay.
Find her a toilet quickly.
It'll be fine in a few minutes.
Come on, honey.
Get going.
Come.
Be'careful.
Excuse me,
where can I find a toilet?
Lele.
Lele!
You're pardoned!
Lele.
No hide-and-seek.
Lele!
This is not funny.
Okay.
I apologise.
Will you forgive me?
Lele?
Don't be mad at me.
Lele!
Lele!
Lele!
Have you got him?
Hurry up, the girl is hungry.
The boy's gone!
What?
Then go find him!
Don't worry. I'm on it.
Lele!
- His name's Lele, right? - Lele.
Where did you lose him?
Along the way.
I know it's along the way.
But where exactly?
It's...
a small trail up the mountain.
Look.
This spot
is our police station.
Try to gauge where you lost him.
Erh...
Which is that...?
So only three people drove there?
Yes.
The officer was asking me
where we’d lost Lele.
Does the trail has a name?
I have no idea.
I've just checked.
Your kid
was lost at Qi's forest farm.
Qi's forest farm
is right here on the map.
See... Songhe Forest Farm.
Right.
Remember where the car broke down?
There's a metal tower nearby.
Yes.
It was...
the watchtower
Who are you?
I am the boy's father.
I looked all over, but...
I propose...
we do a sweeping search.
Can you do a sweep?
I need to assess the situation first.
I don't even know what we're looking for!
How did you lose him?
Our car broke down
close to the watchtower.
And we got out of the car...
Qi told me everything,
that the three of you drove to his farm
without the boy.
We were looking for a toilet...
And he drove off on his own?
He went back for our son.
In another word,
on your way to the farm
you have already lost the boy?
- And then... - It was near the tower...
after dropping you off at the farm,
he went back alone for the boy.
Correct?
Yes.
My wife has already told you
we lost our son near the watchtower.
Cut the bullshit!
I need your help.
Find our son
will you?
This southerner is so rude!
Get a grip!
We must follow the protocol.
Why are you shouting at me?
I’m not. I lost my child
and I'm desperate.
I bet! But we got to do this step by step.
Now you're shouting.
Am I really?
- You have to understand... - Be reasonable.
We must establish all the facts.
Be reasonable, okay?
It's pitch-black out there.
Where do we even start?
What happened?
I asked you what happened.
Why took so long taking a statement?
I've never seen him before.
Never, I'm sure.
No
Thank you.
Here you go.
Okay, thank you.
Thank you so much.
Just leave it over there.
Thanks. Put it right there.
Stand back! We're setting off fireworks!
Chief.
What's going on here?
It's not the time to put on a show.
Last year,
a woman went to collect firewood.
She also lost her way
and couldn't get out.
We set off fireworks right here.
She saw them finally
and came home all by herself.
Chief, we got something.
Had a good look?
It's a deer.
Let's call it a night.
Roger that.
Your daughter is fast asleep.
You'd better take her back to the hotel.
No, we can't go.
Perhaps your son has already made it back.
You go back first.
Come on.
Go on. Get in for a rest.
How's it going?
I'm exhausted.
Chief, you should have a rest, too.
I reckon we need to widen our search
across two kilometres at least.
Bullshit!
We have not even covered one.
Two kilometres?
It will be goddamned dawn by then.
What's going on?
What's the matter?
Let's have a respite.
We can't sustain this physically.
Tell everyone to rest where they are.
What's going on?
Your men are off to sleep.
You aren't even trying!
Do you understand respite?
We've been at this non-stop since six.
It's been over 20 hours.
You have problem with us taking a break?
Didn't I made myself clear?
Respite! A short break, understand?
My son...
can't wait for a break.
Do you want money?
What kind of trash talk is that?
What do you mean?
I'll do it myself.
I dare you to say it again!
If I'm not in uniform,
I would have kicked your butts!
What's wrong with him?
We've had enough trouble with his kid.
If we lose him as well,
it will be hell!
Who does he think he is? Arrogant fool!
Go after him now!
Go!
Buddy!
Buddy!
Buddy!
Lele!
Lele!
Lele!
I'm totally knackered.
What do you think you're doing?
You're messing up our operation.
You're wasting valuable rescue time!
You're nothing.
He's only eight.
At his age,
in this weather,
in such extreme cold,
if he'd fallen into the water,
how long could he survive?
How long could he survive?
Cover yourself with the blanket.
Don't catch a cold.
He's safe.
Excuse me?
Are you a tourist?
Is there something bothering you?
Actually, for something like this,
you should turn to the Internet for help.
Usually, when a case goes viral,
netizens will pick it up quickly.
Once it starts to trend, everything will be easy.
Anyway, there's nothing more you can do.
Shall I post it online for you?
Well, but...
Let's give it a try.
Come on,
let's add each other on WeChat.
Gather a few photos
and the boy's info,
send them to me.
Even stray cats and dogs
could be found with the Internet's help,
let alone a child!
If I can't find Lele,
you'll hate me forever!
Calling HQ.
Approaching 127.28 East,
41.42 North.
Visibility is low.
No visual ID so far.
The golden window for rescue is 48 hours.
The golden window for rescue is 48 hours.
His chances will diminish after that.
The boy has been missing for 15 hours.
Without food and proper clothing...
his clock is ticking.
Be prepared!
Okay, roger that.
Careful with the comm devices.
Yes, sir.
Xiao Jiang.
The bureau just called.
Due to adverse weather,
the helicopter has to abandon mission.
What are you doing here?
Captain.
We're the parents.
How do you do?
This scarf belongs to Lele.
It should have his body scent.
It may help the search dogs.
It's been washed!
Yes, I did.
I'm sorry.
Can we still use it?
Dongzi.
I'm Xiao, captain of the Songhe SAR team.
They're from Baiyun,
a team of civilian SAR professionals.
I'm in charge of this operation.
Take us with you.
Captain,
no matter what happens to our kid,
we want to be there as parents.
Absolutely!
Okay.
You can come with us.
But you must follow my orders.
Of course. We will.
Team One, to the east.
Team Two, to the south.
Team Three, to the north
Team Three, to the north.
Team Four, follow me to the west...
Remember.
Safety first!
Safety first!
Let's roll!
Yes, sir!
Lele!
Lele!
Lele!
Lele!
Lele!
Captain.
We’ve got something.
Lele!
Chief, we found
The branches were snapped recently.
And the ground has been trodden on.
Could Lele have fallen into the pit?
It's hard to tell.
Mi.
Prepare to descend.
Is it Lele?
I'll go down to check.
Dead.
It can't be.
No, it can't be!
No! No!
Impossible! It can't be Lele!
It's not Lele!
It's not Lele!
Alright! Stop it!
- I'm going down! - Calm down!
- Let me through! - Calm down, okay?
We're not sure if it's your son.
Go away!
Stay back!
You're mistaken.
Calm down!
You're mistaken.
Go away!
Please tell me,
it's not my son.
Say it!
It's a wolf.
It's not Lele.
It's a wolf.
It's a wolf.
It's a wolf.
It's a wolf.
It is just a wolf!
A dozen people from other teams just arrived.
They'll be under your field command.
Tell them to meet us by the river.
The road to Lake Tian
is closed off here.
We'll continue our search downstream.
Let's divide into three or our teams.
Lele said he was going to Lake Tian.
How do know that?
Because I promised to take him
to see the Lake Tian Monster.
We'll stick with my plan.
Let's look downstream.
Can't you spare a team there?
Come on...
Just look at how wide the river is.
You won't be able to cross it,
let alone your child.
We can’t go on a wild goose chase,
wasting our resources.
Have faith in our professional judgment.
What if I could find some clues?
I want to see the Lake Tian Monster.
What's the matter with you?
Take three men with you.
Let Rumeng...
Mi! Help me with it.
Come back!
Come back!
Come on out!
One!
Two!
I'll teach him a lesson.
What's the point of all these?
Let's drive around and come back.
Drive around.
Leave him alone in there.
He needs a lesson.
I heard...
something!
Did you hear it?
I heard my son,
he's calling me.
Don't wander off.
Don't wander off.
Lele.
Papa is coming for you.
The down jacket.
Minxuan!
The down jacket!
It's Lele's jacket.
The down jacket.
Look.
It's probably his!
Cut this out!
Stop linking everything to your son!
Throw it away, okay?
Unbelievable!
Let me have a look.
Stick with the plan.
Keep searching downstream.
No!
No!
My instinct tells me...
Lele wouldn't go downstream.
He would have headed for Lake Tian.
I know he would...
I'm sure he would.
Pack your gears.
- Keep searching... - No.
Stop packing! Minxuan...
Don't let them go downstream! No!
Give me!
Captain Xiao.
Captain, please trust my husband.
Lele must have headed for Lake Tian.
I gave him a good smack.
He felt wronged
and ran inside a hut.
I just wanted...
to teach him a lesson.
I went back five minutes later.
But he was gone already.
It was my fault.
Are you nuts?
You're wasting precious rescue time!
Dongzi, calm down!
Cool it!
What the heck do you want?
Calm down!
I deserve it.
Give me the walkie-talkie.
Let's split into two groups.
The first
continues the search downstream.
The second goes uphill.
Mama.
I'm saving this for Lele.
He loves a chicken burger.
Where's Lele?
Lele...
He will be back soon.
I was starving so I ate half of it.
Will Lele be mad at me?
Why would he?
No, he won't.
Do you know
how much Papa loves you and Lele?
Really?
Give Papa a big hug.
Excuse me..
I'm sorry.
Here.
Look.
Many people posted online that they'd seen Lele.
Check this out!
Captain! Captain!
We got news. Look...
One said he’d seen Lele at Qianjiang Valley.
Someone else spotted him at the Holy Matriach's Temple...
Do you know where Qianjiang Valley is?
Let's go!
It’s on the border.
We're talking about a child here.
To get there, even adults like us need a day.
And the Holy Matriach's Temple?
We call this baloney where I come from!
I have never heard of it.
Perhaps he was talking about
the other Lake Tian in the northwest!
- Minxuan, get in! - What are you doing?
- I just wanted to ask... - Get in!
Get in! -Get out!
Why did you pull him?
You call that pulling?
Stop taking things out of context!
So you believe everything online?
Okay.
I can write a story and post it online, too.
I'd say you abused your child
by abandoning him in a snowy forest.
You even took away his scarf.
Do you buy this?
Look!
It's escalating...
The story has gone viral like wildfire!
Look.
Stories about the missing kid are trending.
They're a bunch of trolls,
having nothing better to do.
Captain Qian's in trouble!
What's wrong?
Minxuan, get in!
- I just wanted to ask... - Get in!
Get in! -Get out!
So you believe everything online?
I'd say you abused your child
by bandoning him in a snowy forest.
You even took away his scarf.

What baloney were you talking about?
What's that for? Look at you.
What do you want?
Why do you think I was talking baloney?
You know the kind of person I am.
I never tell a lie.
He’s been braking a fool of us from day one.
We wasted a whole day for nothing.
I'm telling you.
You'll be in deep shit
sooner or later.
He's coming.
Let's go!
Captain, we're from Notease News.
We have a few questions.
As an officer, you confronted the victim's family.
How do you explain this?
Okay, okay.
Look, let them continue the search.
I'm in charge here.
I can answer your questions.
Chief.
Why did you condone your subordinate
to conflict with the victim's family
Conflict?
Let me answer.
How can there be conflict?
Chief, can I say something?
It's a misunderstanding.
Can I say a few words?
Let me tell you something.
As journalists,
you must report the facts!
What are the facts?
Yes, do tell!
Did you question his attitude?
Did you ask him how he treated his son?
Please explain yourself.
I don't owe you any explanation.
I have made myself clear already.
He abandoned his sg .
And he's blaming us for it.
Does it make sense?
Wait!
Please tell us more.
Well... Look..
He's coming...
Go ask them about it.
Let's go!
Come on...
Sir!
- Lock the door. - Can you give us an interview?
Can you tell us something?
Please tell us something.
Sir!
Sir!
Stop taking pictures of my child!
What are you doing?
Is it true what the captain said?
Did you really throw the child away?
Are you his wife?
Do you know the whole thing?
Are you worried now?
No camera!
How did the child disappear?
Is the weather so cold enough for children
Do you have anything to say about the previous video?
Don't rob my camera.
Don't be impulsive. Give me back the camera first.
And the video...
Do you have anything to explain
Tell us about it
What's the matter? Are you okay?
You've gone too far!
Let's all calm down. Stop filming.
Everyone except the search team please leave!
Take her to the hospital at once.
Yes, sir.
I'll say this up front.
This is a matter of life and death.
Anyone who interferes with the operation
will be held accountable!
Resume the search!
- Sure. - Yes, sir.
Now, hold it yourself.
Did I do something wrong?
Shush.
Was I wrong in everything I did
and every decision I made?
This case is getting a lot of attention.
Our superiors are taking it seriously.
Tell me.
What on earth happened?
Director, you mustn't believe online rumours.
The fact is that this man
dumped his kid along the way.
Did you take this statement?
Why it doesn't say what you just said?
In this state of mind,
you're not fit for this operation.
Return to the station.
Did you buy the wrong phone case?
Look.
It doesn't fit.
Have you thought about it?
Papa's coming! Get up there!
Hurry up!
Don't let Papa find us.
Lele!
Now everyone is saying
that he had killed his child.
Ignore those online horseshit.
But even if they're horseshit,
it's already beeft two days.
Not even an adult could survive,
let alone a child.
Even if we can't save him,
we must recover his body.
The most talked-about topic
is the boy who has gone missing.
In fact, people have started to raise doubts
about the boy's disappearance.
Perhaps his parents could give us an explanation.
Perhaps his parents could give us an explanation.
Papa, you are on television!
By leaving a child alone in the wilds,
was it to educate
or to punish?
What on earth
made a father do this?
As parents, should we all
reflect on our attitudes
towards educating our offspring?
What are you filming?
The director is speaking with your wife.
Please wait.
You can take a seat over here.
Has your husband ever hit your son at home?
Hard?
Once in a while.
When Lele got on his nerves
he will get physical.
But every time he did,
he'd be remorseful afterwards.
Whenever he got mad,
how did he calm down?
I'd talk to him.
After a while, he'd be fine.
But what if you're not there?
Erh...
What if I'm not there?
Mama.
Honey.
I brought you some iced tea.
Goa your brother to join.
Lele.
I got you some iced tea.
Lele?
Lele?
Where is the boy?
What time is it?
Didn't I ask you to pick him up from Xixi's?
Oh, I forgot.
You didn't go?
Xixi's mom?
Is Lele still with you?
No.
She said he'd left when you didn't show up.
She said he'd left when you didn't show up.
I'll go find him.
But where?
He's back.
Brat where did you go?
Where have you been?
What happened to your arm?
What happened?
You had us really worried
I tripped over on my way ome.
Don't run off the next time.
Lele is a big boy now.
He needs more than my company
on many different things.
During weekends,
he runs, plays basketball or football.
These are the things
that I don't manage well.
So I guess...
he may need his father's company more.
Did your husband drive off
to pick up your son alone?
Yes, he went off on his own.
That is to say,
whatever happened later,
you were not present.
Did you do this on purpose?
What are you saying?
Because you don't need us.
You're more content on your own,
aren't you?
What are you saying?
You are always like that at home.
You..
Either rage or keep mum.
Why don't you say something?
Mama I'm done.
I don't care about you anymore.
We'll take a cab ourselves.
We've got your kid. Bring $100,000 to the market!
Come alone. Call the police and your boy's dead.
Move your ass!
Get in!
Get in!
Here you are.
Got the money with you?
Where's my kid?
Bring him in.
No!
How can you do this?
Bastards!
Lele! Don't be afraid!
Papa's here for you.
Open it!
Money!
Open it!
I've got to see
if it's my son.
Give us the money! Give us the money!
Stop!
How could you?
Here.
It's all yours.
Let the boy go, okay?
Let's go.
Let him go!
You bastards!
Give me back my boy!
What are you doing?
Don't move!
Arrest them!
Sir!
Don't move!
It's alright.
It's alright.
It's alright.
It's alright.
We'll take them back for questioning.
The abducted kid is from the next county.
When did you know
that he's not your son?
I knew once I heard him.
Not bad.
You bit the bullet
and never let go.
You've got guts.
I'm sure his parents want him back.
As much as I want mine.
You're not such a bad guy
except for your blabbermouth.
Know what a blabbermouth is?
It takes one to know one.
But what brought you here?
I was tasked to keep an eye on you.
It's snowing too heavily now,
suspend the search and return to base camp.
Let me take you back to your hotel.
No.
I'm going to base camp.
Let's resume tomorrow.
This team has gone around...
in circles.
It should take another route.
I want them to...
You can't stop.
Please don't stop.
It's gusty outside.
The temperature is plummeting.
It's dark and dangerous.
We have to suspend operation.
There's no way a kid could walk to Lake Tian.
Even tough guys couldn't withstand this weather.
Does it matter if it's a man or a kid?
I think he knows perfectly well
the fate of the kid.
Leaving the kid alone in the wilds
in icy condition.
How could parents have the heart to do this?
His young life
has just started to blossom.
I beg you
give my son Lele
another chance,
okay?
Please
I'm begging you.
No...
Get up... What are you doing?
It’s not over. Get up.
Come on. Get up.
Get up...
Listen...
Whether we want to continue,
let's vote
by a show of hands.
I’m not going.
It's a waste of time.
You're all coming along, right?
Count me out.
Look,
Erh..
those who didn't
raise their hands
will continue the search.
Those who raised theirs
can go home now.
Don't worry.
No one can blame you.
Really.
Chief.
Perhaps he's been pulling our legs all along.
You've said so yourself.
It's possible.
It's also possible that the kid is still alive.
In this weather,
how long can a kid last out there?
Thirty years ago,
in weather just like this,
three kids
lost their way in the forest.
Their parents called the police.
We mobilised every officer.
And they were joined
by folks from nearby villages.
We searched for three days and nights.
Finally,
we found one of the boys.
Alive?
Alive.
But at that very moment,
the blizzard worsen.
Everyone was exhausted,
and couldn't continue.
Everyone was saying,
in total darkness,
there was no hope.
That we should quit.
Did you?
We left.
The very next morning,
our comrades
found the two kids' bodies.
Just 30 meters away
from where we stopped.
Thirty meters.
If we hadn't given up so soon,
perhaps the two boys...
could have been found.
The sole survivor that day
is now among us
That's me.
The pledges
are still echoing in me.
Keeping our faith
against time.
In the biting blizzard,
in the frozen world.
Oh, goodbye, my friend.
Goodbye. Goodbye.
Moving our tired bodies
forward without fear.
forward without fear.
Bravely breaching danger.
Yesterday we didn't
have time to say farewell.
Oh, goodbye, my friend.
Goodbye. Goodbye.
Until the day
we meet at the finishing line.
And talk about the past, with smiles and wine.
Oh, goodbye, my friend.
Oh, goodbye, my friend.
Goodbye. Goodbye.
Move our tired bodies
forward without fear.
Bravely breaching danger.
Oh. goodbye, my friend.
Oh, goodbye, my friend.
Goodbye. Goodbye.
The pledges
are still echoing in me.
Keeping our faith against time.
In the biting blizzard,
in the frozen world (Oh, goodbye, my friend).
Goodbye. Goodbye.
Moving our tired bodies
forward without fear.
Bravely breaching danger.
Moving our tired bodies
forward without fear.
Bravely breaching danger.
What's wrong?
Captain.
We couldn't find any track in the snow.
Chief.
None of the team has managed
to find human tracks in the snow.
That's to say... - Chief, it's for you.
It's impossible that the kid could've walked on!
There must be another path!
We have searched all over.
The point is,
as long as someone has walked by,
he would have left tracks behind.
You can't miss them.
No matter how heavy it snows,
their tracks cannot be fully covered.
I just heard from the hospital.
A Shanghainese man just came out of a coma.
His car rolled over near Lake Huang,
and suffered head injury.
He crawled to safety by himself
and was taken to the hospital by a passing car.
According to him,
two days ago around 7 pm,
he picked up an unconscious kid near Houxia Road.
It's Lele!
The kid could still be inside the car.
It's our only hope.
I suggest
we find out where the man was picked up.
Look,
tell everyone
to proceed to the new target!
Let's go!
Yes, sir!
Oh, goodbye, my friend.
Oh, goodbye, my friend.
Goodbye. Goodbye.
Until the day
we meet at the finishing line.
And talk about the past, with smiles and wine.
Until the day
we meet at the finishing line.
And talk about the past, with smiles and wine.
This is Lake Huang.
We’ve combed the area.
We couldn't find your kid.
Lake Huang
has another shore.
Do we go over the lake?
Or around it?
It's hard crossing over.
Let's go around it.
Okay.
Attention, all teams.
To'the south slope.
Gather our gears.
Prepare are to leave.
Let's go...
We're ready to go.
Here we go.
Did you hear that?
An avalanche!
Run!
Stretch the formation!
Go either side!
Go either side!
Go either side!
Run!
Go either side!
Run!
Run!
Go!
Quick!
Hide underneath a rock!
Let go!
You have to live!
Chief!
Captain.
Captain.
Are you okay?
Go find the others.
Go help the others.
There's someone here.
Chao,
Chao,
come check it out.
Keep looking.
Chief!
Chief!
Captain!
Chief!
Chief!
The temperature is now minus 31.
Wind direction 320 degrees, wind speed 3 m/s.
Wind direction 320 degrees, wind speed 3 m/s.
Approaching target. Prepare to land.
There's someone here!
Come on!
Come on, dig!
Harder!
One.two,three,come on!
One,two,three,come on!
One,two,three!
Pull him out!
One,two,three!
We're airlifting a badly-injured over.
Alert the hospital.
Director.
We have found most of us.
Many of them are hurt.
We may have to send them to hospital in batches.
Okay.
But chief and his father haven't found them yet.
What's wrong?
What is it?
The Chief...
is gone.
Cut the crap.
Chief!
Mr Bai!
Chief!
Chief!
Get up, we still have a job to do.
Stop shouting.
He's tired.
Maybe just exhaustion.
He hasn't slept for days.
Chief.
Why are you crying?
Director, let's find a medic.
You aren't ready to retire yet.
Why did you...
A-De.
What a storm! The whole place is flooded.
I don't think anyone can come.
What can we do?
Not even a hurricane could break us up.
So that's it, then.
Shall we start?
Okay.
No second thought?
That I'm bad luck and a liability?
What a nightmare!
More or less...
A total write-off!
He's'smiling, still smiling.
He's so cute!
Let's have more abies.
We don't have money to raise a big family.
51?
I'll work hard to make more.
Don't you want more?
Have a taste.
Lele.
Lele.
Lele.
Give it back to Papa.
See?
Boys are so full of mischief.
He has to run around though there's little room.
You should blame yourself.
Why put a drink on your papers?
I've been working his for three months.
Three months.
You know what?
UK tuition costs $250,000, even more in the U.S.
Don't dwell on this everyday.
What's the point of planning now?
It's too early.
The kids are still young.
China's education is good, so are the colleges.
Must you send them abroad at such expense?
The more you fix, the worse it gets.
What should I write in the report?
If we don't cover this up,
- we won't have a job. - Are you joking?
- we won't have a job. - Are you joking?
If we dare to do this,
we'll all end up in jail.
Where's everyone?
The builders took the money and ran.
I'll go find a job.
No way.
Who'll look after the kids?
I'll have time when they start school.
You haven't worked for years. Who will hire you?
That's not what I meant.
I won't discuss this.
Let’s not talk about it.
I didn't stop working for ten years...
Just to please myself.
Okay? Okay?
Don't worry. I'll take care of this.
Awesome!
Are we really going to the snowy mountains?
Mama!
Let's go.
Let's go on a trip.
Mama!
Do you mean it?
Yes!
Mama!
That's amazing!
Papa
Papa!
Wake up!
Papa!
Wake up!
Papa, don't sleep.
Wake up! Don't sleep!
Watch out for the bears!
Over here.
Over here!
It's good to see you.
An avalanche.
I'm here.
We ran for our lives.
I know.
And the others...
A-De.
Nurse!
- I need to find my son. - What are you doing?
I need to find my son.
I need to find my son.
Lie down!
I'm fine.
Uncle.
Before my father died,
did he say anything?
Chief...
No.
Bai!
Bai!
My father was due to retire next month.
Just to save your son,
he's now dead.
I'm sorry.
I'm very sorry.
Bai.
Screw your apologies!
Listen to me!
You get going
Uncle.
Okay. I'll stay still.
Behave yourself.
Bai!
Everyone knows the truth.
But no one has bothered to tell you.
Only my father
was foolish enough to carry on.
Okay.
Let me be the bad guy.
Listen carefully.
Your son is dead.
Dead!
Dead!
Watch your tongue!
You killed your son.
I didn't.
You killed your son!
Shut up!
You killed your son!
- Shut up! - You killed your son!
Shut up!
You shut up.
What are you doing?
Stop it!
Bai!
My son is still alive!
Shut up!
Bai!
Bai!
Bai!
That’s enough!
Don't stop me, uncle!
WT
Break it up!
Stop it!
Uncle, your hand...
Enough!
Have you had enough?
Don't you know it’s a mess already?
Put down your knife.
It's all my doing.
It's my fault.
Are you happy now?
I'm begging you...
Okay?
I deserve to die.
I deserve to die.
I deserve to die.
You..
Put the knife down.
Put it down
I deserve to die!
Put the knife down!
If you die,
I don't want to see you in my next life.
Leaving your car around is bloody irresponsible!
Read my lips!
I'm sorry.
I’ll go to jail if I get the kid killed!
A Shanghainese man just came out of a coma.
His car rolled over near Lake Huang,
He crawled to safety by himself
...was taken to the hospital by a passing car.
He picked up an unconscious kid near Houxia Road.
The kid could still be inside the car.
I want to see the Director.
Dongzi.
I want to see the Director.
Ask Director Gao here.
We'll resume the search in the morning.
Now, move aside.
Does he have a death wish?
I killed my son.
I'll bring you to him.
Take him away.
Perhaps you have confessed.
But I know what's on your mind.
That your son is on the other side of the lake.
But you have to understand.
If we can't find your son,
I will hold you accountable.
I know.
Alright.
Pick a few fit comrades for your advance search.
I'll organise the rest.
As soon as backup arrives,
we will come and join you.
Yes, sir.
Why do we have to do this?
Every minute counts,
we've no time to lose.
Let's go.
Zhang Xiaoming.
I'll take him over.
Captain, this is out of order.
I'm pulling rank on you.
I take full responsibility.
Uncuff him.
You'll ride with me.
I'm waiting for your return with Lele.
The man who brought the Shanghainese
said he found him injured
somewhere around this spot.
Don't move!
Captain.
The ice is delicate and dangerous.
The ice by the lake is too thin.
If it isn't solid and well set
we'll be in trouble if we fall through.
Besides,
look at the snow on the ice.
It looks like yesterday's avalanche.
And we can't be sure what's in there.
Call for backup.
No.
This is all my fault.
I'll go alone.
Can’t wait!
Do everything to get help.
444
go, go, go.
Hold on.
Captain.
The ice is about to fracture.
We can't allow so many people on it.
You'll need tools.
Ice pick.
Shovel.
Let's form a triangle to protect him.
Make sure you are well strapped!
Lele!
To scoop a goldfish, you've got to do it slowly.
Be patient, don't rush it.
Pull!
Lele, wait for me.
Wait for Papa.
I found a bear's footprints!
Papa won't leave you behind.
I know you're waiting for me.
I know you're waiting for Papa.
Lele!
Get up, Lele!
Lele!
Lele!
Dongzi, check over there!
Hurry, they are drifting off to the centre.
Dongzi!
The tools!
Launch the rocket!
- Hang in there! - Hit it! Hit it!
Hang in there!
Hang in there! Help is on the way!
Hurry!
This way!
Come on!
This way!
Hang in there!
They’re right down there!
Stay alive!
Stay alive!
Stay alive!
Go!
One,two,three!Go!
Can you hear me, kid?
We couldn't find the father.
Keep searching!
Don't give up!
Yes, sir.
Let's call a truce, okay?
You're pardoned.
Okay?
Alright.
Forgive me.
Okay?
I'm here
to say sorry.
Okay?
Lele.
Did you hurt yourself?
Are you okay?
I am okay.
Do you know how dangerous...
I'm sorry, Papa.
Come here.
You freaked me out.
Catch a bad chick by her toe!
Eenie, meanie,
miney, mo!
This time I won!
Come on.
Be careful... honey.
The pit is huge!
Look at that!
- Nice? - It's actually a volcanic crater.
Can you see it?
Is it spewing flames?
This volcano is dormant.
What's that dark shadow?
Look at that, sis.
It's the monster.
Monster.
Amazing!
Are you happy now?
Yes!
Papa, you're awesome!
- What a big monster! - Awesome!
Lele, you're awake.
Mama, where's papa?
I saw the monster.
He hugged me.
Lele.
Shall we bring him back to Shenzhen?
Let's bring him home...
Together.
Promise me
that you must outlive me.
I won't let you die before me.
Do not worry
I'll never leave you alone.
It's a deal.
No.
I'd better go first.
But you can't renege now.
I'd better go first.
