Winter used to be the busiest time around here.
Logs could only be shipped out via snow paths.
I wasn't around for those good times.
When I came to this police department,
the forestry industry was already declining.
After the logging ban,
we wondered if we should stay or leave.
It's uphill for another 5 kilometers.
Tractors always clog this road.
Let's pass him.
Everybody, follow closely.
Prepare to overtake.
Tractor, make way.
Quick, call your brother.
Bro, the gold truck's coming.
Damao
damao
the truck's coming.
Let him pass.
Trap him, trap him.
Back up, back up, hurry!
Arirang, arirang, arirang!
Arirang, arirang,
Happy birthday, thank you.
You must be happy.
Roses!
How about that?
He came with flowers,
aren't you going to say anything?
Well...
Xiaosong,
a toast.
First of all, thanks for coming,
and for taking care of us all this time.
You're so polite.
I hear you, Dr. sun.
Uh oh, we need more food.
Let's add something hearty for the birthday girl.
Boss.
Wang kanghao
weren't you going into the mountains?
In the afternoon.
Zhang, move over. Sorry I'm late.
Sit next to me. Too tight over there.
Too tight! You sit here, I'll go there.
Just sit here.
Han xiaosong. Very creative, bringing flowers.
What? What about flowers?
More creative than me,
coming empty-handed to a birthday party!
I came full of enthusiasm,
Dr. sun.
Hypocrite.
Happy birthday.
I wish you peace and happiness.
Here here! Let's swap seats.
Sitting here hurts my back.
No wonder you visited me at the hospital every day.
Flirting with Dr. sun,
and completely ignoring the patient!
Eat up, you're going to the mountains later.
Wang kanghao, do you like sun yan too?
I'll get gas, and pick you up later.
Slowly.
Don't forget your stuff.
Thanks.
You two... did you buy flowers together? They're identical.
Kanghao, I didn't realize.
You're hard to read.
The department is transferring one of us to the city.
So?
Do I need to say it?
Right now,
there's one doctor and two patients.
You decide who stays, right?
So, liking me is a bargaining chip?
Kanghao, staying or leaving
is for you to decide.
If it weren't for that waitress,
would you still have given me a gift?
All right, I'm leaving.
If you're up to anything, better hurry.
Told you to hurry.
What were you up to? You're dripping sweat.
Isn't it obvious?
Yeah, you're a nervous wreck.
Hey, you went first.
Take it, I'm done. All yours.
You're giving it to me?
Don't kid yourself.
It cost two months' salary.
This isn't charity.
You're like a toad, gnawing a beautiful flower.
Pay me back.
Okay.
If you're leaving, I'll give her my all.
Oh? How about you leave and I stay?
I won't screw up. Up the mountain, to the illegal logging site.
Drive safely. Wait...
When did you start adding "er" to everything? I'm going to sleep.
I didn't teach you to talk like that.
Where'd you pick that up, southerner?
Get out of here, would you?
Stop the car.
Stop!
Forest district alert. Qingnian...
Hu gold mine truck ♪428 lost contact 40 minutes ago.
All units... Report suspicious... vehicles...
Look at you, all you can think about is Dr. sun.
The radio's broken, and you don't bother fixing it.
It's no use. We're at least 70km up the mountain.
Still needs fixing. Stop stalling.
How about you do it?
What did I say?
Whoever steals will pay with his life.
Let's get out of here first.
I told you, you shouldn't have let him come.
Qingnian... hu gold mine truck ♪428...
All units... Report suspicious... vehicles...
They said it's probably illegal logging.
Can you handle it? If not, I'll fix it later.
You can fix something so high tech?
Fix it. I'll take a look.
Is the car overloaded?
No cargo.
Is everybody okay?
Slowly, use four-wheel drive. Second gear.
Thanks.
Were you hunting?
No.
You're not from around here.
I'm not. We're just cruising around.
Where to? Back into town.
Town?
You're going the wrong way.
We just realized, but got stuck here.
Everybody have ID?
Forget it.
Don't bother.
Take a left at the next fork, and you'll reach town.
You should hurry.
Attention, forest district officers.
We lost contact with gold mine truck ♪42840 minutes ago.
Attention, forest district officers.
We lost contact with gold mine truck ♪42840 minutes ago.
Stop and report any suspicious individuals or vehicles.
If he doesn't pay, I'll light his daughter up.
Think of your family and loved ones.
We'll act based on the facts,
and in accordance with the law.
We can make things right for you.
I want him here right now.
I don't blame the government.
I'm sick of waiting.
Mr. niu
- who are you? - A cop.
Stay away.
We've located Mr. zhang.
Back up.
He's rushing over here now.
Just let the child go.
I'll do it,
don't test me.
- You can use my phone. - Stop!
Are you a cop? Stop messing around.
Take me instead.
Hurry,
Don't waste my time.
Call him. Do it!
Hurry, save them, hurry.
That day I was...
I was afraid to turn xiaosong down.
I didn't give him the chance to speak up.
I didn't want to hurt him.
I wanted to pick xiaosong up.
But his blood seeped into the snow
and froze.
The frozen blood pinned him to the ground.
I couldn't lift him, no matter how hard I tried.
Time doesn't just stand still.
Kanghao,
you can't live in that moment forever.
Even if you have regrets,
You must forgive yourself.
As long as this case is unsolved,
I can only live in that moment.
I'm sorry, sun yan.
Quiet down.
Where do you think you are? Home?
Come over. She's pretty, huh?
Hey girl, let's drink.
Let go. You want trouble?
Pretty tough, aren't you?
Cut him up!
How dare you!
Kanghao... kanghao...
Kanghao,
let's leave here together.
Sun yan,
don't wait for me.
According to the national weather center's blizzard warning,
the mix of siberian cold air
and pacific warm air will create a strong cold front,
creating the fiercest blizzard in years.
The cold front will cover the district by midnight,
possibly even earlier.
Kanghao,
it's been awhile.
How are you?
I'm calling to let you know I've been transferred.
Can you see me off?
If we don't catch him today, the blizzard will come.
We'll be blocked for weeks.
Poaching is poaching.
Guo San buys a gun, and people say he found a gold bar.
You're the only one who believes that.
Cut the crap.
Dr. sun's leaving, but you're avoiding her.
You're hiding.
Monitor this patient in the operating room.
Yes, Dr. sun.
Rest. You're leaving tomorrow.
Want to try?
The swallow, dressed beautifully, always comes in the spring.
Is that guo San?
Hard to tell. There's two people.
It's too far.
Down she goes.
Deaf guy,
hide the rifle, you hear me? Quick!
Where's guo San?
Where?
Don't move.
Freeze!
So many animal hides.
What do you have to say for yourself?
How can you just have one old gun?
I only have this gun.
Where's the rest?
There's nothing else.
Where's the new Remington?
I can't even afford a doctor.
How could I buy a new gun?
You heard I found a gold bar, right?
All sorts of people are coming to borrow money.
Ever since that gold mine incident last year,
when you police found a gold bar at the scene,
people from all over come here, looking for gold.
Why am I so suspicious?
If I had a gold bar, I'd have left long ago.
How far are we from the big rock cliff?
We're 110km away from town, 20km from the big rock cliff.
There's a detour at the cliff bottom.
The creek path. You know it?
There's a path for herb-picking, but it's closed now.
Those two people we just saw,
we should notify them.
The creek is so deep,
they'll be hard to find.
There's two people by the creek?
They're goners.
Once the snow comes, those hunters are goners.
Nothing you can do.
We have to save them.
It's too difficult.
Prepare the defibrillator.
200 joules, first try.
Once more, with adrenaline. 200 joules, second try.
Sun yan,
sun yan, stop.
Sun yan,
she's already gone.
Officer wang, if I help with the rescue, will I get a reward?
Guo San,
you know this area best.
Tell me about last year's gold mine incident.
It wasn't done by locals.
They're not that clever.
With snow this heavy,
how could they move the gold?
Unless they used the riverbed.
Isn't there a riverbed under the big rock cliff?
There is.
Going down here leads to a 6km path.
But the snow is deep. You'd have to walk the forest line.
Black bear bend is a winter hunting ground.
My gun doesn't work well.
There's hot Springs everywhere.
It's covered in animal traps.
Take extreme caution.
Take me with you.
Just stay here. I'll be back soon.
Officer wang,
without me, you won't find it.
Digging a cave sheltered from the wind...
They're experienced poachers.
They don't know about the blizzard.
If they see us, they'll run into the mountains.
If they do, they'll freeze to death.
I'll go from the opposite side.
Don't approach unless you see me.
If they flee into the mountains,
fire a shot.
Drive them towards me.
Okay.
Black bear bend is full of traps.
Be careful!
Don't worry, I'm faster than you.
What took you so long?
I'm exhausted. It's your turn.
Who are you talking to?
Sun yan...
Sun yan, I won't be able to see you off.
I'm sorry.
Take care of yourself.
Thank you for calling the yige resort.
For reservations, press one.
For business, press two.
I'm guo San, the manager.
I shot a cop.
He had a gun.
This is all because you shot that bird.
I can't believe a cop showed up on such a cold day.
A cop wouldn't come alone.
Hurry up and hide him.
Quick! Your brother won't be happy about this.
Zhang lu,
I'm getting you out,
Just hold on.
Stay strong.
Ermao, ermao...
Ermao,
How many of you are there?
You're a dead man.
Your friend is with me. He's still alive.
Killing him means more money for me.
You can't take the gold while I'm here.
Let's see about that.
If it's too dangerous to drive,
this is the only shelter nearby.
They have a telephone there.
If you see a police car,
could you tell the officers I'm here?
My name's sun. I'm a doctor at forest district hospital.
The man you're looking for is a cop?
The storm will be here in a few hours.
If we stay, we're all dead.
We're 6 hours away from town.
Nobody knows I'm in the mountains.
I'll take my partner back...
You can use those 6 hours to move the gold.
Deal.
I'm bringing him out.
Stay where I can see you.
Don't try anything funny,
I have your friend.
Don't shoot, it's me!
Hello.
I'm looking for forest police officer wang.
He used the phone here.
I'm going to make a call.
In another hour, you'll die from blood loss.
You dare to shoot me.
You must be out of bullets.
Toss your gun aside.
I'll save you.
Where's the other guy?
The one shot in the head.
So, you were the cop in the car.
Your partner should have acted faster.
Too bad he's dead.
I'll only ask once. Is he here?
He's dead. Go ahead and kill me.
Zhou, zhou.
Ermao, ermao.
You don't even have the guts to kill me!
Get up.
Officer wang
I'm going to kill him.
You're dressed like a cop.
He fired at me twice.
He wants it all for himself.
It was intentional.
Ermao,
don't go to sleep.
I'm not dying.
When this is over, I'll get the sickest gold necklace.
Or if you die, a gold urn for your ashes.
That'd be awesome, too.
Mom and dad could share it.
You practically infuriated them to death.
Did you always wish I were dead?
If I were dead, things would be easier for you.
Yes.
I saw them drive away with somebody wounded.
Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to find their gold stash.
They're too smart.
I think I've figured it out.
They wanted to use the frozen river to transport the gold.
During the summer, this place is a marshland.
It's only accessible in the winter.
With the river diverted, I wonder how they found their way back.
Within a hundred kilometers,
the only hospital is in town.
The car won't matter.
Once the blizzard comes,
they're not getting out.
They wouldn't dare go to town,
it's a gunshot wound.
Hey, let go of me!
What are you doing?
Let me go!
They must be heading to the resort.
Officer wang, you're smart.
The resort is the nearest shelter.
Forget them. Let's take a shortcut back.
All paths are dangerous with this snow.
I'll take you.
Isn't there a cliff nearby?
Push the gold down.
Don't move me.
Gunshot wound.
Hunting.
It was an accident.
Two shots?
We don't have proper equipment.
Removing the bullets will kill him.
Get him to a hospital.
The snow's too heavy.
Let's do it now,
I'll help.
This is veterinary anesthetic,
we can't control the dosage.
It's dangerous.
After everything, I end up saving you first.
Guo San, use your scarf to bandage his wound.
- No, wait. - Do it.
He killed zhang and han, right? Just kill him.
Bring him with us.
Don't you die. I'll be back for you.
He needs blood. Take him to a hospital.
The blizzard is coming.
You take care of my brother,
and I'll find your policeman.
If I'm right, the cliff is just ahead.
I brought a rope with me.
What's this?
Stop touching me, what are you doing?
You'll never get the gold with him around.
If you ditch him, I'll split it with you.
You're going to use me,
and then kill me, right?
I'm telling you.
Without me, nobody's getting the gold.
You moved the gold.
Guo San, go up and throw the rope down.
Okay.
Guo San!
He took some gold.
He was itching to escape.
Don't test me.
I won't kill you, but you're not getting away.
Where are the others?
I'm going to die anyway.
Just shoot me now,
it's better than freezing.
You want to die?
I won't let you off so easily.
It's been a year.
You could find the gold,
and you had a way out of here.
If you don't tell me how,
I'll shoot your other leg.
It's dead.
The walkie talkie has batteries.
My equipment's in a nearby cave.
Maybe we can survive.
Officer wang,
we meet at last.
Recognize the scarf?
Dr. sun braved the blizzard to come find you.
Her life is in my hands.
You're a team of three.
There's two of you here, one at the resort.
He was shot twice.
More likely, his life is in Dr. sun's hands.
Killing your partner a year ago was a last resort.
I'm sorry about last year.
Dr. sun is a nice lady. Don't let her down.
Whether or not there's gold,
who we are, none of that's important.
One way or another, my bro and I are getting out here.
I'll give you the girl and half the gold.
Take them, and leave as a hero.
Once the blizzard passes, nobody will remember any of this.
You want to leave? Ask my dead partner about that.
Who are you?
I'm looking for officer wang.
Officer wang,
officer wang...
Did a person come here with a gunshot wound?
What are you doing? Don't.
He's in a coma. He can't do a thing.
Get off me!
Once he's awake, we're all dead.
Stop!
Who are you?
Don't kill me, buddy... don't...
Hey buddy, I know where the gold is.
I took the gold and hid it.
Who asked you to do that?
Officer wang, officer wang!
Where is he?
The forest.
He got lost.
Here, I have proof.
Don't lie to me.
He switched clothes with the cop.
You asked him to kill me, didn't you?
If I wanted to kill you,
would I really wait until now?
Lie down.
It'll help slow the bleeding.
What did you give me?
Doctor, I have a tractor here.
Now's our chance to escape.
You left officer wang stranded on purpose, didn't you?
No, no, no, I... Yes. I was lying just now.
The others will be back any minute.
We have to go. Hurry.
Wake him up.
Quiet,
I'm not too injured.
You gave my brother anesthetic.
He got too worked up, and the wound reopened.
It's to save his life.
What are you doing?
Listen to the wind outside.
It's like a man's last gasp.
It fills you with despair.
You're a cop, I'm a robber.
At least we have one thing in common...
The people close to us,
we send them one by one to the grave.
I'm not like you.
You're just a wandering ghost.
I saw this gift box last year,
In the police car.
You kept it for a year.
What are you afraid of?
I'll give it to Dr. sun on your behalf.
Your choice.
Take me to the gold,
or I kill her.
I'll take you to the gold,
but I don't know the roads very well.
I don't know the exact location.
If you want to find it, you'll need somebody else.
You can ask your friend.
He probably told you, right?
That guy ditched us back in the mountains.
Sorry, sun yan.
I wanted to see you off today.
I wanted to give myself a chance, too.
You didn't come, so I had to make a choice.
Who's he talking about?
The guy on duty here.
You didn't mention him before.
He ran off earlier.
You didn't mention that, either.
Does he know where the gold is?
This cop's story,
you believe it?
He ran.
If he did run away, he'd only come here.
Where's my gold?
You dare to shoot me?
Brother, the gold got moved.
Says who?
That guy came back. He's in this room.
He's got four gold bars.
Doctor, where is he?
Doctor,
Where is he?
She doesn't know.
But I do.
Get down!
Ermao, get down!
Quick,
There's a car here.
Take their car and get out of here.
There's an emergency phone at the intersection.
Call for help.
I'm not leaving you again.
Let's go together.
You know I'm a policeman.
I can't let him get away.
Brother,
brother,
Kanghao
Once the blizzard passes,
nobody will remember any of this.
Your brother didn't have to die.
You're out of your mind.
You come at me.
Pull the trigger.
Had things gone smoothly, nobody would've had to die.
Pull the trigger.
Bastard.
Go ahead.
Kanghao
I'm returning to Beijing tomorrow.
Are you ready?
I'll wait for you.
I thought I told you...
The opportunity is yours. I'm staying.
I don't want to take advantage of you.
You want me to owe you.
This is my home.
I like it here. I'm not leaving.
I want to say...
Let me finish.
You've got to give sun yan that necklace
and leave here together.
Don't forget about this place.
Be sure to come see me.
