Blind Mountain Page #4

Synopsis: China, the 1990s. In villages where female babies are drowned, there are few young women to marry the men and bear more sons. Families buy wives - girls lured from the city. Bai finishes college and accepts a job in a remote mountain village harvesting herbs. It's a ruse: she's sold to a peasant family. She's indignant; the parents hold her so the son can rape her. She tries to run away; she's beaten. Other women kidnapped a few years before, now with children, tell her to comply. She continues to try to escape. She writes to her father, smuggling letters to the mailman. She obtains a bit of money. The village is without pity, except for the teacher. Can he help her? Anger mounts.

Leave the baby,

otherwise we'll never get out of here.

Someone help me!

The cops are taking the baby!

Please come home first.

We'll get the baby later.

Help me!

Let's get going.

Hurry up!

The police are taking your wife away.

Stop them!

Stop!

Move out of the way.

This is ourjob. Let us through.

Freeze!

Move out of the way.

It's against the law to buy people.

What law? You'll have to shoot me first!

The selling of people

is strictly forbidden.

It's illegal to steal away her rights.

She's my wife. Give her to me.

Many people buy wives.

Have they all broken the law?

I bought my wife too. Lock me up.

My friends, you are all parents.

How'd you like it if your daughter

was stolen and sold?

We need to understand her situation.

If she pays me back, then she can go.

I paid 7,000 for her.

Give me my money or she stays.

That's right.

If you want to leave,

you'll have to run me over first!

You're too old for this.

What are you doing? Get up please.

I don't want to live!

Okay, we won't take her yet.

We'll go to the village council

and discuss this...

You can't go.

Open the door.

Why didn't you let me know first?

You think you can just come

and take her away?

You don't consider

the village government at all.

We didn't want to...

trouble you.

Like I'm not used to trouble?

Ourjob as leaders is

to take care of trouble.

What else would we be doing?

If something happens to you,

who would take the blame?

This is just the damn

way people are around here.

They lack education. What can I do?

Please help us out.

The villagers are up in arms.

What can I do?

We're here to enforce the law.

Okay, I'll see what I can do.

Thanks.

Damn! He's lying between his teeth.

Doesn't look like we'll get out of here.

What should we do?

We must get in touch with

the local police,

and leave with all the women

who were bought.

I wish it were so simple.

Do you know how many women

were sold here?

Why don't they just run away?

Do you want to leave?

There's no way I'll stay.

They're all animals. They're not human.

This place isn't even worth peeing in.

Okay, if you want to go back,

then you must do as we say.

Today stay with them.

Hold out for a while longer.

Sir, you have to take me away today.

Otherwise I'll end up dying here.

Please!

You can't go. Please!

I had to rescue my daughter.

It wasn't easy to finding

the money needed.

If we fail this time,

I won't have the money to try again.

I beg you!

Get up. What are you doing?

I can pay if you will save my daughter.

Who said we're not going to save her?

We're just thinking of a plan.

I'll stay here with my daughter

and wait for you.

Dad, go back first.

You have no idea how barbaric they are.

Don't be afraid.

I won't leave until they rescue you.

Okay. But you must stay here

no matter what.

We'll be back within three days

to take you away.

Let them through.

Director, you can take care of them.

You must make sure they are safe.

Don't worry. I promise.

Discuss this with the other family.

It's best to find a peaceful solution.

It's easy to solve.

My daughter-in-law stays.

Okay.

Move out of the way.

Let them go.

Please let them pass.

Please, stop! Where are you taking her?

We're not going anywhere.

It's okay, they'll only be gone two days.

No way.

We're not leaving.

Get out of the way.

We have to leave today.

- No matter what.

- No way! Don't hit her!

Who cares!

Don't hit her! We're not leaving.

You want to wait for the police

to rescue you?

No way!

We'll stay! Don't hit her!

She's my wife, for the rest of her life!

Help! Please!

Don't hit her!

Don't hit her!

Someone! Help!
