"New York 2015"

Jimmy-

What time is it?

The farewell party doesn't matter?

Here I am

I can only stay for 30 minutes

I'm taking the 10:30 plane.

What's the hurry for your first job?

Aren't we all waiting for this?

From now on

Jimmy will be a Silicon Valley bigshot

I majored in IT, too

I'm going out West, like you are.

You two are together now?

Cheers.

"Kill the Tiger in the Mountain."

What the...

Very funny guys, way to go.

What's that?

Peking Opera.

That's your hometown, Jimmy.

"X on Fire."

Man, what time is your flight?

I don't think you can make it.

It's a massive traffic jam.

Well, Merry Christmas.

"Kill the Tiger in the Mountain."

"Northeast China 1946"

One year after the Japanese surrendered

China fell into a full-scale civil war.

In the Northeast,

bandits went on a post-war rampage.

They killed, looted... and expanded quickly.

The common folk suffered, oppressed and afraid.

That winter,

a PLA troop captain, code-named 203

led a squad to subdue the bandits

at Peony River

awaiting orders from headquarters.

The end of the year-

winds roaring, paths blocked.

After all kinds of hardships

the squad returned to their homeland

the snowfield forest.

Mealtime.

Mealtime.

So watery?

That's all we have.

Captain.

En route to camp

the villagers killed by the bandits

numbered to...

Say it.

At Nan Hill:
250.

Gupai Village:
90.

- Yangjia Creek:
120

- Tell me the total number.

Give a report with the details.

Total number:
603.

And

we passed Guying Village without entering.

Not sure about their situation.

Reporting to 203.

Enemies at the machine storehouse.

Let's go

100 meters to the west.

A dozen men outside the storehouse

wearing our military uniforms.

But they don't look like our men.

Not sure about conditions inside.

Sir-

the smell of barbecued meat.

A big load

enough for more than a dozen people.

Report on the bullets.

Qu has 52.

Tank and Brick have 120.

Baojun and Iron Pillar each have 6.

It's from Tank.

They've discovered us.

Those men out there

don't fool around.

Don't you bump into somebody

without knowing it's your bro.

We're from the Tiger Mountain.

Pick a name.

From which gang?

How many of you?

So you're Lord Hawk's gang.

He's a bandit under Hawk.

This land belongs to Hawk now.

Damn it.

Scared me.

Stop pretending.

No bullshit, you're alone?

What's your name?

Wang.

What do you do?

I've found lots of goodies.

Sirs, come take a look.

Which gang are you from?

I don't belong to any

I'm just a hunter.

A hunter.

And what have you hunted?

Right... what have you got?

A lot of goodies

I can't carry them all alone.

That many?

Sirs, if you like, be my guest.

He's not alone.

The grenades collided!

Tank.

They have tanks.

Stop throwing grenades, let's split.

Baojun.

Sh*t, two fled.

Son of a gun.

They're in our uniforms

easily mistaken as our men by the villagers.

The enemy poses as us

and smears our name.

Before arriving at Peony River

we've entered Hawk's territory.

There's thousands of men.

- Way outnumbered.

- Reporting to 203.

We've seized loads of bandit ammunition.

- Is everyone okay?

- Okay.

Is this edible?

Some kind of delicacy?

Barbecued rat.

Tank.

Not bad

50 boxes in total

14,000 bullets, 500 grenades.

Really? Excellent

Hong.

How much food is left?

None.

Tonight there's nothing to cook.

Attention, please-

We will soon arrive at Harbin West Station.

If you are to disembark here

please get ready.

The next station is Harbin West Station.

If you are to disembark here

please get ready.

- Hello.

- Hi

Jimmy

I heard you were home

I need something from there.

Why not use a courier?

You'll be fired by your company.

No, I've notified them.

Are you home for your girlfriend?

No.

Tank

203, Train coming

203, HQ's signal.

Our people.

Where are you from?

Stonegate Village.

There's one more

Yang.

This is Comrade Yang.

We were comrades in arms before

Yang, this is Captain 203.

Reporting to 203

Yang, Political Division scout.

Hejiang Military District

reporting for duty.

The snowstorm was too heavy

but we found a train.

Transfer order.

This is field hospital nurse.

Comrade Bai.

Bai reports to the Captain.

Telegraph HQ to verify.

Yes

I've also brought food for you.

- Food?

- There.

Bravo!

Open the gate.

Here comes Lord Hawk.

Lower the palanquin.

Without my order

how dare you go downhill?

37 of you went out

and only you two dogs return.

We were ambushed by the PLA.

And they had tanks.

They had tanks.

Lord Hawk.

Lord Hawk

I smell something funny.

One Word:

Not Honest.

Lord Hawk, those are two words.

Shut up.

Big brother.

Take a few men downhill

and see if there's any PLA.

Yes, Lord Hawk.

As for you two-

Go peck them!

Bro 7

how does one become Lord Hawk?

You can't.

Above all the bandits in the world.

The Hawk is unparalleled.

Comrade Bai.

Ever shot a gun before?

What do you mean, a match?

No, just asking.

Why's your frostbite bandaged like this?

- Who did it?

- 203.

He bandaged all our feet.

This Yang doesn't behave like a scout.

So sloppy.

How can he fight playing like this?

Reporting to 203.

HQ has replied.

Saying what?

Yang knows the area,

is an experienced investigator.

Bai, the nurse

has been trained in battlefield rescue.

Now, the area is grim and complicated.

The two are sent to help.

If there's a problem,

solve it yourself

Yang.

Sing one more.

What is it?

- See anything?

- No

I've got you, get out!

- A child.

- A child?

From the village?

Bring him back.

The wound is inflamed.

- It's very serious.

- Gunshot.

- Anaesthetic?

- Serious shortage.

No.

Little brother, be strong.

Don't struggle.

Hold on-

It's almost done, hold on.

It's wrapped, let him go.

Eat something.

- Tank.

- Tank.

What are you doing?

He'll freeze if he runs out.

This boy thinks we're bandits.

Lord Hawk grabbed this secret arsenal

from the Japanese.

Nobody knows how much

ammunition the Tiger Fortress has

I tell you, Commissioner Hou.

They have 3,000 guns

10 mortars

10 heavy machine guns

50 light machine guns.

Lord Hawk.

KMT and the PLA are fighting.

KMT wants to incorporate us.

We've opened quite a can of worms.

Bro 3 fought PLA with the Japs.

Among all the bandits in the nine mountains

only he knows how to operate

this iron tortoise.

Commissioner Hou, with this thing

is the other ringleader, Big Stick

even qualified to be No. 1?

Commissioner Hou,

you represent the government to bestow

the Commander of the Northeast advance troop

I can say this-

other than Lord Hawk,

nobody dares to take the position.

Let's be frank-

If your gang submits to us

your respectable Hawk

will surely be the Commander of the advance troop.

As for the Advance Map,

I will, of course, offer it to him.

Well said.

Lord Hawk, you will be the Commander.

That depends on whether Hou

wants to give us the Advance Map.

What map?

Advance Map.

One Word:

Getting the Map depends on whether
