00:14Hello everyone! This is where the food is prepared for Tansi Village's community feast.
00:18Now, everyone, follow my camera and check out our kitchen.
00:22Look! This is our five star chef. Sir, can you say hi to everyone?
00:26Alright! Hi!
00:26Our Tansi Village is known as China's hometown of locals.
00:30We used to have nothing, but now we're prospering together, and much of that is thanks to director Tang.
00:34Mr. Tang, come say hello!
00:37Hello everyone, I'm Tang Zhangbin. Welcome everyone to Tansi Village.
00:42Guys, take a look at Tansi's specialty dishes. Pretty great, right?
00:46Welcome to Tansi to taste them any time.
00:49Uncle Feng, why are you running?
00:51Stop right there!
00:52What do you think you're doing?
00:53Uh! Uh!
00:55Uh!
00:57Wait!
00:59Director Tang, you've got to help me! The pain is unbearable! It's stuck deep into the skin!
01:04Uh!
01:06Uh!
01:08Uh!
01:09Uh!
01:10Uh!
01:10Uh!
01:11Uh!
01:12Uh!
01:14You guys have no experience! If you cut it in one go, that claw would never come out!
01:18Director Tang means you're just reckless!
01:20You're one to talk! Don't even bother thinking!
01:23Alright, get to work! Once you're done, come take your seat! Everyone gets a bonus tonight!
01:26Alright, got it!
01:29Hey guys, this is my dad! Hey dad, say hi to everyone! So much delicious food here!
01:37Director Tang hasn't sat down yet! You can't eat yet! Later, come with me to toast him properly!
01:42Dad, I heard you and Uncle Tang used to be bitter rivals!
01:45Wasn't he?
01:46Don't be ridiculous!
01:49Oh, come on dad! Spill the tea! Start with... that big flood back in 1999!
02:00Recently, due to consecutive heavy rainfall, many regions in our country have experienced floods exceeding warning levels.
02:06The flood control situation is extremely severe. All areas prone to flooding are urged to carry up flood prevention and
02:11control measures to ensure the safety of people's lives and property.
02:18Where's that new director?
02:21They say he just got back from the army. First day on the job and he's already bailed! What makes
02:26him fit to be our village director?
02:27As if you do it any better!
02:30Come on, organize the team! We have to reinforce the riverbank now!
02:33Who do you think you are?
02:34Since when do you give orders?
02:36Listen! The water is past warning level! We move now or we drown!
02:40Past the warning level? But don't we still have the flood barrier?
02:44That thing? That's not a flood barrier! It's just a crumbling dirt berm! How can it hold back rain like
02:48this?
02:49My grandpa, let the crew that built the flood barrier! If any of you put one finger on it today,
02:53pack up and leave the village tomorrow!
02:55People's lives are at stake! I don't care who you are or what your name is, that barrier comes down
02:59now!
03:03People's lives are at stake! I don't care who you are or what your name is, that barrier comes down
03:07now!
03:08Oh no! The flood barrier just collapsed! Move!
03:12You! Get a team and evacuate the villagers! The rest of you, come with me and plug the breach! Move!
03:16Who do you think you are? Why should we take orders from you?
03:19Your new village director, Teng Zhang Bin! Now move!
03:23Hey! Director!
03:32Director!
03:33Director! Let's go!
03:46Don't just stand there! Start organizing the evacuation!
03:50Everybody move quickly! We have to block the breach before the flood peak hits! Hurry!
04:01We're all men here! Show some spine!
04:05If we don't stand our ground tonight, we'll regret it for life!
04:13We're good now! Get them out of here fast!
04:16Director! Where are you going?
04:18Get everyone to safety! Nobody stays behind! I'm going back for a final check!
04:27Is anyone home?
04:40Mrs. Shen!
04:45What are you still doing here?
04:46I'm not going! Let me die in my own home!
04:50That's madness! Come with me!
04:53Your life is what matters!
04:56I'm dying in my own home! I'm not leaving!
05:03I want to be with my husband! This is my home! I'm not leaving!
05:13Director Teng, we'd have been lost without you!
05:15Yeah, Director!
05:18I didn't do it alone!
05:20It was a team effort!
05:23Stay still! Don't move!
05:26Hey! Director! Don't move! I mean-
05:29Stop right there! Mrs. Shen, see him? It's his fault! The flood barriers broke on his watch! Our homes, our
05:35crops, everything is ruined!
05:36You have to answer for this!
05:38Answer for what? It was an act of God! Stop putting all the blame on Director Teng!
05:41Then who should we blame?
05:42The crops are gone! I've got nothing! Our houses are gone! I'm just an old woman! That land was all
05:48I had!
05:50I don't care! Today you have to give us an answer!
05:53Mind your tone! We need an answer!
05:55Alright, enough! Someone needs to answer to us!
05:56Listen! No one could have stopped that flood! The village will organize to buy seeds for everyone! You'll have a
06:02crop next year! Promise!
06:03Easier said than done! And where's the money?
06:05Yeah! Where is the money?
06:08I have nothing left! I have nothing left!
06:10Hey! Quiet, all of you! I believe Director Teng has our best interests at heart! I, Sang Ding, support him!
06:18Him?
06:21Oh, come on! Let me finish! You have to trust the committee! Director Teng will find a way!
06:27Don't worry! The village will find a solution!
06:34Mmm...
06:34Bro! Why are you sticking up for him?
06:37Think about it! With the village in this state, how many folks have two pennies to rub together for seeds?
06:42So you mean...
06:43Let them prop him up on the pedestal!
06:46The higher he climbs, the harder he'll fall!
06:49He made a public promise! If he can't deliver, he's finished!
06:53And then you can step in and clean up the mess!
06:55Then you'll be the rightful director!
06:59If it weren't for him, that job would already be mine!
07:02No question!
07:04Yeah, let's be honest here! Who else in this village can actually lead you all to prosperity?
07:08Only you, boss!
07:14Old man!
07:16My son!
07:17The crops are gone! The savings are gone!
07:21Soon this roof over my head will be gone too!
07:25There's nothing left! I'm coming to join you!
07:30Director, this is all the seed money we've managed to collect!
07:34We are still far short!
07:36Our collective funds are in bad shape as it is!
07:39And after the flood, times are tough for everyone, I know!
07:43Come on, let's check on the hardest hit families!
07:45Mrs. Shen is the worst off! We'll go to her first!
07:47Alright, let's go!
07:50Mrs. Shen!
07:51Oh, no! Stop! Mrs. Shen! What are you doing?
07:55You mustn't do this!
07:56You mustn't do this!
07:57Don't even think that way!
07:59Get up, Mrs. Shen!
08:00With my home gone! What's left to live for? I have nothing left to live for!
08:05Mrs. Shen!
08:07Why did you save me?
08:09Mrs. Shen! I didn't save you!
08:10You survived that flood because your husband and son were watching over you!
08:14My dear! How do I go on from here?
08:17You have to keep living!
08:19As for the seed money, the village will take care of it!
08:23As for the seed money, the village will take care of it!
08:26Really?
08:27Of course!
08:28It's true, you have my word!
08:29Mrs. Shen, does that put your mind at ease?
08:45Whoa!
08:45What have you got there?
08:46Oh, it's nothing! Just some village papers! I should head back!
08:49Hold it right here!
08:50Honey...
08:51Let me see!
08:55I was just...
08:56Why'd you take our savings book?
08:57Well, you know...
08:59The seed fund is still short...
09:01I thought maybe we could...
09:04Jianbin...
09:04We haven't even saved enough for the new house!
09:08You know that!
09:10Listen, love...
09:11The house...
09:13Can wait...
09:14We've got a roof over our heads...
09:17But without seeds...
09:19People won't have food on the table next year!
09:21I just support you!
09:22But about money...
09:23No secrets!
09:24Promise me!
09:26I promise!
09:27That's why I married the best woman I know!
09:29Alright!
09:30Go on, get back to work!
09:32Go on!
09:32And come home early for supper!
09:38I...
09:40Still short?
09:41What else are you looking for?
09:43Not the accordion!
09:44Find something else!
09:46The radio!
09:47The TV!
09:48Sell whatever you need!
09:49But the accordion is not for sale!
09:51That's our story!
09:52How we began!
09:53You playing!
09:54Me singing!
09:55Us dancing!
09:56We were so happy then!
09:59Huh?
09:59Huh?
10:05Oh you!
10:06What am I going to do with you?
10:24Huh?
10:24What are you doing here?
10:27How's the seed fund?
10:29Coming along!
10:30We're managing!
10:31Not your concern!
10:32I'll handle it!
10:35Well, if you ask me...
10:37If you can't stand the heat...
10:38Get out of the kitchen!
10:42Chanting, what are you implying?
10:43Make me director...
10:44And I'll cover the fund myself!
10:46You put up the money...
10:48And the director's chair is yours right here right now!
10:59Hmph!
11:00That's out of line!
11:03Director...
11:04You can't shoulder this burden all by yourself!
11:06This is mine!
11:09Hey, now...
11:10I'm paying for this!
11:11It's settled!
11:13Zhang Deng!
11:14Let me tell you something!
11:15We all stand with director Tang!
11:17Because when trouble hits...
11:18He's in the first line!
11:19When danger comes...
11:20He's the last to leave!
11:21That's what matters!
11:22Not money!
11:22Director Tang!
11:23This is from my family and my uncle!
11:24And my second brother's family too!
11:26Fourth brother!
11:29Director Tang!
11:30It's not much, but it's all my family could scrape together!
11:33Thank you, Uncle Ken!
11:35This is all we have!
11:36It's everything we could spare, director!
11:39Thank you!
11:40Director, just a small token from us!
11:42Thank you, Brother Shen!
11:45Director!
11:45From me and my brother!
11:47We sold our pigs!
11:49Thank you, Yaya!
11:50Director!
11:54My mom gave me this!
11:56It's everything we saved!
11:58Please take it!
11:59Let us do our part!
12:05You've handed me...
12:07Your family's life savings!
12:10I don't know...
12:11How to thank you!
12:18Zhang Deng!
12:19I'll put it on your tab!
12:27I'll take it!
12:29Darn dear!
12:30We did it, director!
12:31All the village reserve land has been auctioned!
12:33This is the first major fund for our village's collective economy!
12:35Yes!
12:36Next step, attract investment and break ground on that factory!
12:38Let's move!
12:40Outstanding!
12:44Mr. Li!
12:45Once the factory building is complete, your food processing plan can move right in!
12:50No problem at all!
12:51The terms are very attractive!
12:53I'm impressed!
12:54Well then, here's to...
12:56Successful partnership!
12:57Agreed!
12:58I look forward to it!
13:01What a dump!
13:02Lin!
13:03You need to take a hard look at the Tang Si village, director Teng once two years ran paid up
13:08front!
13:08I think...
13:10The risk is too high for my liking!
13:15What?
13:16You got a death wish?
13:30Mr. Li!
13:32Tang Si village is my turf!
13:34Nobody sets up a shop here without my say-so!
13:38Director!
13:39Our factory is set to finish next month!
13:42Excellent!
13:42Once it's up and running, life or everyone here will change for the better!
13:45It will!
13:46Director!
13:47Director!
13:47Mr. Li!
13:48He's pulling out!
13:49What?
13:49He's backing out of the deal?
13:50Yes!
13:53What?
13:53He backed out?
13:54Yeah!
13:56Let's go and see!
13:57Okay!
14:00Recite that new poem for me!
14:02The one about the farmers!
14:04Hoeing the grain under the noon sun?
14:10Hoeing the grain under the noon sun?
14:12Dad worked so hard!
14:13Plays mahjong all day!
14:15And landlord all night!
14:17And landlord all night!
14:17Oh daddy!
14:18That's not right!
14:19Well, how does it go then, huh?
14:22Zhang Ding!
14:23What do you want?
14:24Zhang Ding!
14:25You stopped Mr. Li's car yesterday!
14:27What did you say to him?
14:28What made him pull out today?
14:31Good riddance!
14:32I say!
14:33I've got a line on a chemical plant!
14:35A much bigger deal than some bakery!
14:37You mean paixing chemical, don't you?
14:39Listen to me, Zhang Ding!
14:40That's a chemical plant!
14:41Bringing in investment isn't just about getting rich!
14:44It's about protecting our air and water!
14:46They have a long history of illegal dumping, you know that?
14:48Our village sits right on the canal!
14:51We cannot trade our people's health for a quick profit!
14:54Daddy!
14:55Uncle Tang is right!
14:56You hear that?
14:57Even a child has more sense than you!
14:59Grown-ups talking!
15:00Don't interrupt!
15:01What do you know?
15:02Bad daddy!
15:03Bad daddy!
15:03Okay, okay!
15:04It's okay sweetie!
15:05Don't cry!
15:05Daddy shouldn't have snapped!
15:06You're all talk!
15:07If you're so capable, why don't you go charm Mr. Li back yourself?
15:10Go on!
15:11I dare you!
15:14Be good!
15:16You'll see!
15:21Excuse me!
15:22I'm here to see Mr. Li!
15:23Director Tan, he's not available!
15:24Not in!
15:26I'll just peek inside!
15:27You can't!
15:28He's really not here!
15:30Then who's in the office?
15:31Hey!
15:33They've been dumping waste for years, we-
15:35Mr. Li!
15:36Director Tang!
15:37We're in a meeting!
15:38Police leave!
15:41Alright!
15:42I'll wait for you outside!
15:45But Laijinful's quality is non-negotiable!
15:48We cannot let contaminated water compromise of production!
16:20Mr. Li?
16:22Mr. Li!
16:24Mr. Li!
16:24Wait!
16:43Oh, for heaven's sake, why did it have to break down here?
16:54Mr. Lee. Good grief. Mr. Lee. Good grief, where did you come from? Car trouble. Let me have a look.
17:03Hey, no, don't touch my car. I won't do business with you. I was a mechanic in the army. You're
17:10not going anywhere until it's fixed. Let me.
17:17Mr. Lee, I'll be straight with you. I've never been one to ask for favors, but today I'm asking you
17:22- no, I'm begging you. Give us a chance. Give Tang-Chi a future. The factory will mean jobs. Jobs
17:28will mean hope. A better life for everyone. They're a minor fix. Try starting it now.
17:34Let me be clear. I'll work with you. One pegs fly, not a moment sooner.
17:39Wait. Mr. Lee, just give me five more minutes to explain. Don't drive off. Mr. Lee. Mr. Lee, listen. I'm
17:45not giving up.
17:54Excuse me, miss. Is Mr. Lee in?
17:57Director Tan, he's not here.
17:58Mr. Lee and I were practically friends now. No need to stop me.
18:01As I said, he's not here. And even if he were, he wouldn't have time for you.
18:04What's wrong? What happened?
18:07Some workers at the fuel plant got sick from the polluted water. The whole production line is shut down. If
18:10you miss the shipment, the company is finished. So you see, you're wasting your time, Director.
18:22This is all way too sudden.
18:24What do you mean too sudden? Hurry up and find me a skilled worker. Now. Pay double if you have
18:29to. Move it. Go. Why are you just standing there? Go. Find them now.
18:32Mr. Lee.
18:33You again? Get out now. Security. Get them out of my office.
18:38Hold on. Mr. Lee, please. Just hear me out. I'm here to help. I've brought you a solution. Look. I've
18:43brought the finest pastry chefs from Danxi Village. Their skills are just as good as yours, if not better.
18:48Enough. I don't want to hear about your village chefs. I'm calling the police.
18:52Don't. Please. Just taste it. One bite.
18:55No, I won't. People like you are...
18:57Just try it. Try it.
19:13Delicious.
19:15Only mommy can make such delicious pastries.
19:20It's the taste.
19:22Exactly the taste.
19:24Mr. Lee, what do you say?
19:26I said, it seems pig's doofly after all. Are you happy now?
19:32Then it's settled. A win-win. For both of us.
19:35For both of us.
19:36Deal.
19:40Director, with the food planned here, the village dividends keep coming. Folks are finally getting a real taste of prosperity.
19:46Yeah. Now that our collective fund is healthier, I think it's time we talk about rebuilding the flood wall.
19:52Secretary Feng, please arrange a meeting with the villagers.
19:54Right away. It's for the common good. I'm sure everyone will agree.
19:58Of course.
19:59Attention, Tang-Ci villagers. Please assemble at the committee office to discuss the new flood wall proposal.
20:05What's going on? Where is everyone?
20:09Director, what do we do?
20:14Director, what do we do?
20:20Zeng Ding!
20:21Zeng Ding!
20:21You in there?
20:24Zeng Ding, we're rebuilding the flood wall. We need to discuss acquiring a piece of your family's land. Zeng Ding!
20:29Brother Ding!
20:33So now you want my land? My parents are buried on that plot.
20:38You want it?
20:39Ha! Over my dead body!
20:41Zeng Ding!
20:42Show them the door!
20:46Zeng Ding, even if you won't talk today, be at the town hall meeting tomorrow. At least hear what the
20:50people have to say.
20:52Open up!
20:57Zeng Ding, what's your problem?
21:00I said it once. You touch that land, you go through me first.
21:04Anyone who tries, there will be hell to pay.
21:06What's wrong with you?
21:08Huh.
21:09Help!
21:12Zeng Ding, so we're... really not going?
21:15What do you know?
21:16Give them that land, and you cut our ancestors off from their own descendants.
21:20Besides, nobody's gonna agree with this.
21:25You always see what others don't.
21:27Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
21:32Uncle Weng?
21:33Yeah?
21:33The village needs to rebuild the flood wall. We'd like to talk about using a bit of your land.
21:36I can't read or write.
21:37There's no point talking to me.
21:40Talk to someone else.
21:41Just go.
21:42Nothing to talk about.
21:43Aye.
21:44Even if I said yes, my ancestors would turn in their graves.
21:51Tung C villagers, gather round everyone. Want a better tomorrow? Get your share today.
21:59Come get your dividends.
22:01Director Tang, you're a clever one.
22:04Had to resort to this, didn't we?
22:09Let's go see.
22:10Right.
22:18Brother Ding, trouble!
22:20Brother Ding, it's Pat!
22:22Everyone!
22:23They've all gone to the committee!
22:25You youngsters, always so rash.
22:28Stay calm.
22:29We hold all the cards.
22:32Ha ha ha ha ha.
22:33Alright, everyone, gather close.
22:35Director Tang, are we really getting paid today?
22:37The dividends will be paid.
22:39But today, I have something more important to discuss.
22:43If this is about taking our land again, forget it.
22:45If we agree, they'll say we betrayed our own blood.
22:47No money, I'm leaving.
22:48Yeah!
22:49Just give up, just give up, just give up the money.
22:51Quiet, please.
22:51Right!
22:52Hear me out, Uncle Wang.
22:54Do you remember the flood?
22:56Years back, it swallowed your whole house.
22:59Your brother, sick in bed, was also taken by that flood.
23:03Can you ever forget?
23:08Lijiao, you were just a boy then.
23:09Your mother, she used her last strength to push you onto a door.
23:12Gave her life so you could live.
23:14We never even found her.
23:16My friends, what I'm saying is this.
23:20The flood took our crops, our land, our homes, those things we can rebuild.
23:26But our loved ones?
23:28Are we just going to keep watching the floods take them from us again and again?
23:32Are we going to let our children grow up in the shadow of a dirt mound, scared with every storm,
23:36every time the sky darkens?
23:39Neighbors, we have the power to change that now.
23:42Why wouldn't we?
23:47Director Tang is thinking of all of us.
23:49If you're with him, come forward and sign.
23:52I'll sign.
23:53Come again.
23:54We all will.
23:56Don't anyone sign.
23:57We're against this.
23:58Go ahead.
23:59Try for a stimulation.
24:00Yeah, see what happens.
24:02I'll sign.
24:06I'll sign.
24:11Brother Ding, I thought you were dead set against it.
24:14What?
24:15Are you actually scared they'll get physical?
24:23What's wrong?
24:24Director, Deng Ding's backed out.
24:26He's blocking the work.
24:26The project stared right at the store step.
24:28Everything stopped.
24:29This is a major project.
24:30We can't let him derail it.
24:31Where is he?
24:32Over here.
24:33Director, come take a look.
24:36Deng Ding, get up now.
24:39I said get up.
24:40Hey.
24:41Hmm?
24:41Easy now.
24:43Words, not fists.
24:45Listen, Deng Ding.
24:46Your parents' plot was already set aside for you, wasn't it?
24:48Are you still obstructing the project?
24:50You never mentioned before this spot would be affected.
24:52Let me be clear.
24:53That structure of yours was never authorized.
24:54Besides, when we negotiated, you agreed and signed the papers.
24:58Here.
25:00Look at what that is.
25:01My grandfather was a hero to this entire village.
25:05This place is a hero's home.
25:07You dare touch my grandfather's house?
25:09You're disrespecting a hero's legacy.
25:11You're not worthy.
25:12Damn right.
25:13Grandpa Sang was the village's greatest benefactor.
25:15We can't afford to cross him.
25:16All right.
25:17Then tell me, what will it take for you to move?
25:20You want to tear it down?
25:22It could be arranged.
25:23But your compensation rate is an insult.
25:26It's beneath a hero's household.
25:28I want 50 bucks per square centimeter.
25:32You.
25:33Do you have any idea?
25:34At that rate, the total comes to nearly 30 million.
25:37Have you lost your mind?
25:38I, your grandfather, the village roads, gave up everything he had.
25:42You ungrateful rich.
25:44Is money all you see now?
25:45You're a disgrace for the sang name.
25:47Ah, screw you.
25:48What's it to you?
25:49I just won't stand for it.
25:50Hey.
25:51Emolition is always about the money.
25:53Exactly.
25:54We're talking 30 million.
25:55Not a single bug less.
25:57Yeah.
25:58Enough.
25:59Sang-Bing, listen to me.
26:00I've tolerated you until now.
26:01Out of respect for what your family did for this village.
26:03But I was wrong.
26:04That was your grandpa's honor, not yours.
26:07You don't deserve any of it.
26:08Tear it down.
26:09Go on then.
26:10Let's see who dares takes one step closer, huh?
26:12Come on, do it.
26:13We're done talking, right?
26:14If you got the guts, you'll have to drive right over me, huh?
26:19You...
26:24Last time I'm asking, move.
26:26What are you doing?
26:27Are you trying to kill me?
26:28I, I, I...
26:29Director, calm down, please.
26:30Jang Chan-bin, this isn't over.
26:31You hear me?
26:32It's not over.
26:45Director?
26:46What is it?
26:47We just got word.
26:48The higher ops received a joint petition.
26:50It's about you.
26:51A petition?
26:51Mm-hmm.
26:52Accusing me of what?
26:53Forced eviction and demolition.
26:56Accusing me of what?
26:57Forced eviction and demolition.
27:01It has to be Zhang Dang.
27:02Him again.
27:03Ignore him.
27:04My conscience is clear.
27:05I'm not afraid.
27:06I'll cooperate fully.
27:07Let him complain.
27:08It's not just about the demolition.
27:09We just got a notice from the county.
27:11Every village project you're involved in is suspended pending revenue.
27:14All related subsidies and funds are frozen immediately.
27:17The funding is all on hold?
27:18Yeah.
27:19On top of the flood wall rebuild, we still need to expand the factory zone.
27:23If all that money gets cut off, without the land ready, those investors will walk away
27:28in a heartbeat.
27:29Right.
27:29And the loans we took out from the bank.
27:31How do we repay those?
27:32They are trying to bankrupt us.
27:38Let's go.
27:39Yeah.
27:43Screwing around again?
27:44Is that all you do?
27:45Ever since the flood fight, Tang Turnbin has been gunning for Brother Ding.
27:48And you're sitting here?
27:49But now the whole village is on Director Tang's side.
27:52What are we supposed to do?
27:53What can we do?
27:55Have you forgotten what we owe Boss Ding's family?
27:57Back then, if it weren't for his parents, we'd be dead at the flood.
28:00I know, I'm going crazy too.
28:02But, Director Tang, even Brother Ding can't beat him.
28:06What chance do we have?
28:11If playing nice won't cut it, then we play dirty.
28:13You have a plan?
28:17Go on, ask your grandpa up there.
28:20Are you the one sabotaging the flood wall rebuild?
28:23Is this all for your own greedy game?
28:24And tell me, did you frame Director Tang?
28:27Answer me!
28:28You talk about your grandpa day and night.
28:31Now, search your damn conscience.
28:33Could you even look your grandpa in the face and tell him the truth?
28:40Think about it!
28:48I don't bite for a second.
28:50Tang John Bin's got his own agenda.
29:00Well, well, Director Tang.
29:01What do you want?
29:03Me and my friend here, we're in construction.
29:05Heard you've got a flood wall project in the works.
29:07Had some free time today, thought we'd drop by and have a little chat.
29:11What's your game, you two?
29:12Is this how you do business?
29:14You should go home and rest.
29:15Woah, what's the rush, Director?
29:17Why not take a look at our proposal first?
29:19No, thank you.
29:20This is a village project.
29:21Not my decision alone.
29:22And personally, I don't deal with people who lack integrity.
29:24Save your breath.
29:25You're wasting your time.
29:26Everything has a price, Director.
29:27Don't insult us.
29:28We came here in good faith.
29:29If you can't even handle your own village's affairs, what good are you as a director?
29:33Think carefully.
29:34Don't let this minor issue affect your personal interests.
29:39I'm helping the village out.
29:40How's that not a personal interest?
29:42The village is good, is my good.
29:44The one that goes and ding put a price on my face.
29:4730 million.
29:47And what happened, I still had his wall torn down.
29:49You care so much about your face?
29:51Fine.
29:51At dawn, you race me up Mount Chao.
29:53First one to the top gets a meeting with me.
29:55While behind him, we have nothing to discuss.
29:58Well, well, Director.
29:59You'd better mean that.
30:00You have my word.
30:02Let's go.
30:05Those two punks.
30:07Later, I'm putting them in their place.
30:12Ah.
30:13Ah.
30:18Ah.
30:20Ah.
30:22Ah.
30:22Ah.
30:23Unbelievable.
30:24Is he part mountain goat?
30:25He's flying up there.
30:26Keeper.
30:27Move.
30:27After him.
30:28Come on.
30:47Director, your hand.
30:51It's fine.
30:55Keep climbing.
30:56Keep climbing.
31:09Hey.
31:11Hurry up.
31:13Best chance.
31:14Don't blame me if you miss it.
31:23I gave you your face.
31:24Don't blame me.
31:25You couldn't keep up.
31:26A word of advice, kids.
31:27Losing this contract is the least of your problems.
31:29But keep walking this crooked path and the police will notice.
31:31A few years in a cell?
31:32That's a real problem.
31:33By the time you get out, your wives will be gone.
31:36No, you've got it all wrong.
31:37If you hadn't grabbed me back there, I'd have tumbled down and broken my neck.
31:40We were blind and stupid.
31:41We went way too far.
31:43We waited here just to apologize.
31:44No, you've got it all wrong.
31:45We're sorry, really.
31:46We messed up, Director.
31:47We messed up, Director.
31:47Alright.
31:48Then, this hand was worth it.
31:50Contracts like these aren't won by throwing your weight around.
31:52Hey!
31:53You touched my husband and you answered to me.
31:56Go, go, go.
31:56You're here.
31:57Jump in.
31:58Are you hurt?
31:59Honey, what are you doing here?
32:00I saw them surrounding you.
32:01I was terrified.
32:03It's okay now.
32:04Oh, so pretty.
32:05This is for me.
32:06I'll put it on you.
32:09Suits you.
32:10Thanks, love.
32:11Are you really okay?
32:13Come on, let's go home.
32:16Everyone come quick.
32:17The official findings are posted.
32:19Thank goodness.
32:20Jim Bint's name is finally cleared.
32:25Another clear day.
32:33Hey, who dumped this trash at my door, huh?
32:37Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Chen, get out here.
32:39Was it you?
32:40You pile your garbage in front of my house?
32:42You see me do it?
32:43We have cameras.
32:46This is a public space, not your personal dumping ground.
32:50Mrs. Chen, you're blocking my door.
32:52Do you have no decency?
32:54Decency?
32:55When the village needed land.
32:57Where was your decency then?
33:08Director Tang.
33:10Director Tang.
33:11Big trouble.
33:12You need to see this right now.
33:13What's going on?
33:14You see, just come.
33:15Let's go.
33:21This was the big trouble?
33:23Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Chen.
33:24That old coot has been my personal headache for decades.
33:27And I've never laid a finger on him.
33:29But you...
33:30You bring the fight right to his doorstep?
33:32Well, I'm going to teach him a lesson he won't soon forget!
33:36Okay, okay.
33:37That's enough.
33:38You've been neighbors forever.
33:39Now take care of this trash.
33:40We can't block the road.
33:41It's a bad look for everyone.
33:42Alright, fine.
33:43For Director Tang.
33:45I got a couple guys to clean it up now.
33:50Zhang Ding, listen.
33:51Your daughter Zhao Zhao had a tough start here.
33:53If not for your own sake.
33:55Then for her business.
33:56Don't you think you should mend some fences?
33:59Director Tang.
34:02I...
34:04Enough, Lao Zhang.
34:05We go way back.
34:06Alright, don't just stand there.
34:08Give him a hand.
34:09Come help clear this mess up.
34:11Heh heh heh.
34:17Hey, Director Tang!
34:21Director Tang!
34:22Chou Chou! Chou Chou!
34:24Hey!
34:24Call an ambulance now!
34:26Uncle Tang!
34:27Zhang Bin!
34:28Wake up!
34:29Zhang Bin!
34:30Hang in there!
34:31Please!
34:32Don't just kill me like this!
34:33Zhang Bin!
34:34Zhang Bin!
34:35Zhang Bin!
34:36Zhang Bin!
34:37Zhang Bin!
34:38Zhang Bin!
34:42You can't leave me like this!
34:44The patient has a massive lumbar disc herniation which has caused an acute cauter equina syndrome.
34:49He requires immediate surgical decompression.
34:52Otherwise, he risks permanent paralysis of the lower limbs.
34:55Understood.
34:55Thank you, Doctor.
35:02I've got a new gun.
35:03We are all alone.
35:06You're not alone.
35:10I've got new guns.
35:25I will be a new weapon.
35:26This time, Jian Bing was pushing through the pain, year after year, driving himself for the village.
35:31Sis, don't worry. We trust the doctor.
35:34Thank you. Thank you everyone.
35:38Director Tang...
35:39Jian Bin...
35:41All those years, I was against you.
35:46Every step of the way.
35:48In my head, I thought if you hadn't come, I would be the director.
35:52But these past few years, watching you, everything you did for everyone, you never once thought of yourself.
35:59What you did, I could never have done.
36:01All these years, I've owed you these words.
36:06I'm sorry.
36:10The surgery was a complete success.
36:12The function of the compressed cauda equina nerves has been restored.
36:15As long as we keep up with a dedicated rehabilitation program, he should make a full recovery.
36:31Easy does it, everyone. Take your time. Once we're across the bridge, we'll stop for a big group photo.
36:38This bridge right here is our village's very own bridge of merit.
36:42Yeah, take it slow crossing it, okay? Mind your step. Next up, we're heading to the top.
36:48So, how about the Lockwood Orchard?
36:51It's great. They'll photograph beautifully.
36:55Director Tang, hello!
36:56Oh, hello there. Welcome, welcome.
37:00What a bumper. Crap this year, Zha Zha.
37:02Yes, Uncle Tang. I've picked another huge batch.
37:06All right, Zha Zha. Don't forget tomorrow the big community portrait.
37:09I won't. I'll be right on time.
37:11You'll get back to it.
37:12See you tomorrow, Uncle Tang.
37:13See you tomorrow.
37:22All right, all right, everyone. Now, do we say cheese or do we shout Tang Xi?
37:27Tang Xi!
37:29Okay.
37:32Here we go. One, two, three.
37:35Tang Xi!
37:36Tang Xi!
37:37Achoo!
