Yes. Yes.

I urge you all to embrace

this moment.

It is most definitely

a turning point in your life.

Yes. Yes.

Watch out. Run!

I never thought that

the 15th of the month

would bring such

a terrible nightmare.

- Run!

- Let's go.

Let's get out of here.

Come on.

We killed someone.

Run.

What really happened that day?

What will be our future?

Do we even have one?

Are we doomed?

I wish I could keep

the workers

who are already

on the job.

But as the business grows,

I need new blood

that I can trust

in order to complete

the expansion.

I built this business

from the beginning

and I will not

see it fail.

I will not tolerate anyone

who may hinder the process.

I have no choice but to take

matters into my own hands.

Master Sam

will arrive soon.

Assist him any way

you can.

Yes, Master Hoong.

My daughter Dan Dan

wishes to make a visit to the tin mine.

You will go with her.

Yes, Master Hoong.

Watch out,

hot water.

- Hey!

- Oh, sorry.

Don't get worked up.

He didn't mean it.

Buy I just

washed these clothes.

- It's beautiful.

- It is our culture.

It is really

peaceful here.

Your father owes us money

and we want it. Hear me?

Don't think you can

hide from us.

What's happening?

You got that?

What are those men doing?

It's nothing.

Our mine workers

are involved.

It's okay.

Enough!

Come on.

- You all right?

- Yeah.

- You disappeared.

- No I didn't.

We told you to stay close.

Well, now what?

Let's keep it going.

We'd better stop now.

Take off.

It's none of your business.

I'm sorry, miss.

Your father didn't intend for this.

Come on, let's go.

Over here.

Come on,

bring it this way.

I've got three more over here.

Bring 'em in, bring 'em in.

Hey, bring that ore

so I can check it.

Right.

Takes you forever to get

a couple of bags of rice.

Hurry up.

Miss Dan Dan will be here soon.

Bring in the horses.

Careful careful.

Here it is.

You want to help me

with this?

Oh, Tin Sok.

Tin Sok. Tin Sok.

Bring it over

here, guys.

Let's go.

Three more.

Good job, boys.

Keep it up.

- Miss Dan Dan.

- How are you, Tin Sok?

- He's the head of the mine, Tin Sok.

- Oh, Tin Sok.

This is Rose.

She's my friend.

Oh, Rose.

Your friend from abroad.

Yeah, I was really hoping

I might show her the mine.

Wonderful.

I'll show you around.

Thank you.

Tried to escape again?

What did I tell you?

I warned you about

the rules of the mine.

- Stop it. What is the problem?

- He tried to escape.

- What's happening?

- I don't know.

Take him away.

- Tin Sok.

- All right, it's all over.

Everyone back to work.

Tin Sok, why did those

guards beat the worker?

Oh, um...

we'll talk about

it later, miss.

Hey, look.

It's the girl

we saw earlier.

It's the boss's daughter.

This way.

Now this is the kitchen.

It may seem a bit crude

but everyone manages

just fine.

Like a big family,

you know?

- Dan Dan, over here.

- Huh?

Oh.

Tin Sok, what did the worker

do that he had to be beaten?

Um, the rules say

no one escapes.

Anyone caught

will be punished.

But we shouldn't abuse them.

Not like that.

Mmm. I'll discuss it

with your father.

Yes, I'll do that

as well.

But it's really

the worker's fault.

They were warned

of the consequences.

The harder they work,

the sooner they will be free.

Huh, it's pretty

good quality.

You'd better put these

on the chart.

Right.

So have you decided yet

how you're going to punish that kid?

They're young

and impulsive.

Let's give him a break.

Tin Sok, there are rules.

They just have to learn.

If you're too easy

you'll just make it worse.

I know what they need--

Ieniency.

They're just young.

Come on.

Come on.

Get in there.

You deserve it.

How can they treat

us like animals?

They've gone too far.

What did you do?

A new guy,

he needed my help.

I'll tell Tin Sok.

Hey, you okay?

- What happened?

- Wake up.

- I think he fainted.

- That's no excuse.

Back to work.

Get up.

No sleeping.

Leave him alone.

- Hey!

- Stop it!

Back to work.

Tin Sok.

He overreacted.

He's sorry. He's only a kid.

Forget it.

You're too lenient.

What would I tell the boss?

There's nothing

I can do.

He's suffered enough.

Just let it go.

Please.

What if he gives up

this week's pay?

We have to

follow the rules.

They're just kids, hmm?

We'll see

how sorry he is.

We'll talk to Master Hoong,

ask him for a pardon.

Wait here.

I'll tell the master.

Hmm.

Sit down.

Tin Sok, the master

will see you.

Right.

Not you, Tiger.

- Huh?

- No, you wait here.

- Oh.

- And stay out of trouble.

- Hi.

- Hmm?

- Miss Dan Dan.

- Oh, weren't you at the mine earlier?

Mmm, yeah.

So what are you

doing here then?

Oh, I wish to seek a pardon

from Master Hoong.

From my daddy?

- Daddy?

- He's my papa.

Oh yeah.

That's right.

I violated the rules

over at the mine.

What kind of rules

were they?

Tell me.

I won't say anything.

Really?

This guy fainted

and needed help

so l, um,

hit a guard.

You attacked someone?

I wonder why my dad

never said anything.

I'd like to know

some more details.

Well, you see there are rules

of the mine that need to be followed.

I chose not to.

I'm sorry, miss.

You don't have

to be sorry.

Please, I don't even

know your name.

What is it?

My name is Tiger.

Tin Sok,

what brings you here?

There must be a reason.

The mishap at the mine.

I ask your pardon.

The what?

He may have acted

without thinking,

but he is sorry

and asks your pardon.

Tin Sok,

you've always handled

these worker matters

at the mine, haven't you?

I'm thinking this problem

is up to you.

I'm concerned

about something--

the workers, you know,

and their safety.

Tin Sok, for years now

you and I have handled

this business.

But times

are changing, right?

Actually, the buyers are paying

exceptionally well these days.

Huh? I mean, we wouldn't want to do

something to change that

Iike anger the client.

Got me?

Yes, I understand, master.

But the miners are

getting overworked, sir.

Tin Sok,

I wouldn't worry yourself.

A solution is on its way.

In that case, sir,

we'll wait for your good news.

Old friend, don't ever forget that

we are family.

Hello.

Rose, over here.

Where is he going?

I'll tell you later.

We only met once,

but since then

I can't get his face

out of my mind.

Is it possible that

I am falling in love?

Is life at the mine

very difficult?

Yes, it is.

But I guess

this is our fate.

We work hard in hopes

of a better life.

Things have improved

since we met Tin Sok.

No.

It can't be.

Don't you hear me?

Don't you know

I want you?

Why?

Stop.

- Here, drink.

- No no no.

- No.

- Drink.

Really?

Look at this.

What's wrong with me?

I'm all wet.

I want you to have this.

It's my lucky charm.

So do you have plans

for the future?

I want to be

like Tin Sok.

- Tin Sok?

- Yes.

He's very kind

and dignified.

Grab him.

Get him in there.

Get in there.

- Give me the rope.
