[Beiwei District Station]

You'll be operating the train on your own next month.

Don't be so careless.

Do you remember the important points?

I know!

- One, shut the front! Two, shut the back! - You, be careful!

Three, remove the windpipe! Four, unhook!

I'm can finally operate a train!

- Please make way. - Make way.

This is a time of chaos.

I'll go to the Department of Health when I reach the provincial capital.

Contact your aunt, understand?

Got it, Father.

Don't you have any news about your sister?

The college said she's not been attending classes for two months.

I don't know what she's thinking about.

Did I send her to Medical College for her to play truant?

I'll teach her a lesson if I see her again.

Father, don't say that.

Ling Ling has grown up. Just let her do what she wants.

- She was spoiled by you. - This way.

- That's our car. - Big Brother, I'm here!

Here!

What are you doing? Why are you so careless?

I'm sorry, sir.

Is everything here?

Father, we need the materiel. We can only bring this much.

Alright. Let's get on.

- Father. Let's go. - Alright.

Stop the train!

Stop the train! Stop the train now!

What's going on? There shouldn't be any train coming in.

Stop!

- Both of you, stop them! - Yes!

Master.

Why is there another train coming in at this time?

Hurry up!

Hurry!

Hurry up!

Hurry up!

Hurry!

- Both of you, get on from here. - Yes!

- The rest, come with me! - Yes!

Pry the door open!

- Goodbye. Have a safe journey. - Come back soon!

Third Brother, what will you say when you go back this time?

Darn it!

I'm calling you! Are you pretending to be deaf?

[Rat Disaster]

What are you doing?

What's going on?

- Father, are you alright? - I'm fine.

Miss, you have quite a temper.

Are you standing up for her?

I'll teach you a lesson!

Big Brother!

Big Brother!

My friend.

We are together.

This brother of mine

is just a fool.

Please

let him go.

Third Brother.

About the money,

just save it for yourself.

- Father. Let's go. - Let's go.

The rubbish here are all piled up.

It's so smelly.

I wonder how many rats have infested the place.

I know, right? Even the cats are no longer catching rats anymore.

Everywhere is the same. There's also a famine.

There are even people in our village who are looking for food in rat holes.

Big Brother, when are we hitting the train?

Don't be rash.

That guy is troublesome.

Be quiet.

We should forget it.

Brother.

Thank you for what you did.

You're welcome, Miss.

I am Du Da Shan.

Thank you, Brother Du.

Father. It's all fate. Let me tell you. I'm going North...

Miss. Let me tell you...

Father!

What are you doing?

Take care of your brother.

Also, don't talk to shady men.

I...

It's been so long since I went home.

I've been neglecting my farms back at home.

I'm sorry, Brother Du.

That's how my father is.

It's alright.

My father is like this too.

When do you think we can go home after this trip?

I don't know. I miss home too.

Look. Why does the weather keep changing between sunny and cloudy?

It's windy and there's thunder too. It might rain later apparently.

Honey, look how bare my hand is.

Your mom has been wearing that bangle for so many years.

I'll buy you one when we reach the provincial capital.

I'll bring you to see my aunt when we reach the provincial capital.

Alright.

Don't worry. My aunt is nice.

You will definitely be good friends with her.

She knew you like sweet and sour fish and made it especially for you.

Why are you here?

- Come with me! - What are you doing?

Don't you know how much time I've spent to look for you?

Ling Ling. Who is he?

I don't know him.

You don't know me?

Fine. I'll teach you a lesson today.

What are you doing? Don't move!

- Let me go! - Don't move!

- Major. - Don't try anything foolish.

Take him away.

- Come! - Ling Ling! Come back with me!

- Move! - Let me go!

It's alright, Ling Ling.

- Let me go! - Get in there!

- Let me go! What are you doing? - Get over there!

- Are you bandits? - Don't move!

- Let me go! - Let me tell you.

Our commander is

the garrison general of Beiwei Prefecture.

We have the right to say anyone is a bandit.

Do you understand?

How dare you? How could you be so lawless?

Miss Su is Major Tang's fiancee.

How dare a person like you pretend to be her father?

I am her father!

I've given you a chance...

Who is it?

Don't move.

How did you get in here?

Old Huang.

Old Huang.

There's squeaking from above. I think there are rats.

- How can there be rats here? - Just go and have a look.

- I'm not going. - I'm scared.

Are you afraid of rats?

I'm afraid of rats?

Go and have a look.

Have a look, go.

Darn.

I've spent 20 silvers and I still have to catch rats on my own.

Darn. What is he doing?

What's he doing?

A man fighting with rats?

Save me!

♪ The peach leaves are pointed ♪ ♪ The willow tree covers the sky ♪

Master, what's that song you're singing?

♪ My audiences... ♪

This is "Visiting the Qingshui River".

I married my wife because of this song.

Master, teach me.

Sure. Listen well.

♪ The peach leaves are pointed ♪ ♪ The willow tree covers the sky ♪

Mr. Cheng.

Isn't the weather strange?

It was so sunny just now.

It changed all of a sudden.

No matter how fast the weather changes,

it will not change as fast as a woman's mood.

Am I right, Mr. Wang?

Wealthy people like you two only like to tease women.

Look. Her mood changed immediately.

I hate you. Honey, you did it again.

Darn you!

Help!

- I didn't expect them to come so soon. - Father.

- Hurry, take everything away. - Yes. Take everything away!

Ling Ling. Let's go!

- Hurry up, Ling Ling! - My father is still at the back!

Father!

Take the boxes!

Hurry and take the boxes!

Hurry!

The key.

Hurry up!

Save me!

Move!

Move!

What are they doing? Are they rushing to their death?

Make way!

Rats! There are rats! Run!

Move! Make way!

What's going on? Can't take a train ride at ease?

Where are the rats?

Rats!

Rats! Run!

Rats! Run!

What's so weird about seeing rats in the day?

Run!

A man who's scared of rats? Heck!

Yue Sheng.

Rats!

Rats?

Rats! Run!

Rats! Run!

Rats!

Rats! Run!

There really are rats!

A man who is so afraid of rats. Don't you think it's funny?

Father.

Gosh!

Hurry!

- Run! - Father, what's wrong?

- Hurry! - Father, what's wrong?

Someone's dead!

- What is this? - What is moving?

Rats!

Wow, so many rats.

Help!

Hurry up!

Open the door!

Open the door!

Father!

Let's go!

Hurry up! Son, quick!

Mother!

Son! Don't close the door!

- Son! - Mother!

We can't contain it anymore.

Disconnect the train.

No! My family is still back there.

They will die!

Tang.

- Miss! - Tang!

Tang! No, Tang!

If this door is open, it will never be closed.

Don't close the door!

Tang!

Tang. I beg you.

You can't do this, Tang! Please save my father, I beg you.

Miss, don't move!

Major Tang.

Now is not the time to hesitate.

This is an order.

Move!

Brother. Stop it.

The doors in front are all locked.

It's too late.

We'll escape from above.

Hurry!

Be careful!

Don't be afraid.

- Hurry! - Don't be afraid.

Be careful!

Be careful!

- Hurry up! - Be careful!

Hurry!

Hurry up!

Pull me up!

Save me!

Let's go!

That way!

Father!

Hurry up!

Come here!

What's going on behind us?

Master. Rats! There are so many rats!

- Tang! - Don't move! Calm down, Miss!

Let's go!

The train has been disconnected! Let's go!

Miss! Hurry!

Be careful!

Father! Hurry up!

It's your fault!

- Give me back my son! - Let go!

Let go! Everyone, calm down!

Let go! What are you doing?

You saw what happened just now.

Without him,

all of you will already be dead.

Is that how you should treat a hero?

Nonsense.

Can't you see that they can still make it?

Big Brother!

What's wrong with my Big Brother?

Big Brother!

What's wrong with my Big Brother?

This is a symptom of Yersinia infection.

It's an infectious disease.

Infectious disease?

Check around.

Those who were bitten by rats have to be quarantined immediately.

Otherwise, everyone will be infected.

I heard it was spread from outside the border.

- Everyone, check around... - She has been bitten!

I'm not.

I'm not!

- He was bitten too! - He is injured!

Father. Something's wrong with Yue Sheng.

I saw it. He was bitten.

Yue Sheng.

Yue Sheng.

Why should we be quarantined?

What should we do?

All of you were the one who's been bitten.

There's a cure for all of you! Quiet!

There's a cure for all of you!

What did you say? There's a cure?

Where is it?

I'm from the Provincial Department of Health.

Last month,

my superior ordered a batch of experimental sulphonamides from England.

It is a special medicine for this disease.

The western hospital at the Xiaobaihe Station in front

has this kind of medicine.

Good job. Big Brother, we are saved! There's a cure!

No one is going!

Are you kidding?

How can you decide that? There are so many lives at stake!

I'm not afraid to tell you.

There's a secret order from the superiors.

The defense has fallen.

These rats

were affected by an unknown virus.

We can't handle it at all.

This train can't be stopped.

If you want to live...

What are you doing?

Don't freaking move!

You hear me?

We have to take the medicine. We have to save everyone.

- Drop your weapon! - Nonsense!

Try me!

A life in exchange for a life.

Let's see who's life is worth more.

Ask them to drop their weapons.

You hear that? Drop your weapons!

- Drop them. - Hurry!

Throw them on the ground!

Don't panic.

There's a cure if we get the medicine.

Listen to me.

Those who are uninfected, go to the next car.

- Let's go. - Please trust me, alright? Trust me!

Do we really have to leave?

Why are you all spacing out?

Cooperate! Move! Come on!

Take care of Big Brother.

- I'll retrieve the medicine with them. - No.

You will take care of Big Brother.

I'll retrieve the medicine.

What the heck are you still waiting for?

Those who are uninfected, leave!

All of you will be dead if you don't leave!

Go!

Those who are uninfected has to leave.

Hurry up!

Hurry!

- Go! - Order your men to leave first.

My son is still at the back.

Ling Ling. Let's go.

Let go of me!

Madam, it's alright. Everything will be fine.

Let's go.

Big Brother, wait for me!

- Wait. - I'm going to retrieve the medicine!

Stay here.

Move! Hurry up!

Come here!

What are you doing?

Come with me.

Don't you know how dangerous it is to get infected with the disease?

I want to save them.

Who is going to save you then?

I asked you not to interfere but you just wouldn't listen!

It's all your mother's fault for spoiling you.

What else do you know besides blaming my mother?

Is that how you speak to your father?

Where were you when mother took me to the hospital

late at night?

Where were you when mother had dystocia while giving birth to Yue Sheng?

You have no right to blame her.

I don't want to go home because of the way you act.

Fine.

Go.

I'll just disown you.

Ling Ling.

Let's go.

Second Sister.

Are you leaving again?

Yue Sheng.

I'm not leaving.

Alright.

Let's go.

[Xiaobaihe Station]

Any more?

Here. Throw them out.

More.

Second Brother. We've thrown everything out.

That's good.

The rodents will not have a place to hide anymore.

Master. What should we do now?

- We should save everyone first. - Alright.

Brother.

I'll retrieve the medicine with you.

Wait.

I'll go with you too.

Me too.

Second Brother. Take care of Big Brother. I'm going to retrieve the medicine.

After two hours,

I have to depart

with or without you.

I have to consider everyone else's safety.

Father!

What are you doing?

Can you do anything without me?

Nonsense! Go back. Go back!

Father.

Ling Ling and Yue Sheng lost their mother.

I don't want them to lose their father too.

Are we really

going to trample over their dead bodies?

Endure it.

We will only make it

if we go through here.

Hold on.

Just for a while more.

Are you alright?

Hold on. We'll be there soon.

We'll arrive when we pass through the alley.

This is not the alley you're talking about, right?

[Middle East Railway Hospital]

Looks like

they are afraid of light.

We can't go around from the ground.

Let's move from the top when there's still light.

Be careful.

Everyone, be careful.

Help!

Second Sister.

- Can we buy candied hawthorns with father? - Yes.

Open the door!

Open the door!

Check and see if he's infected.

Yes.

He's not infected.

Here.

Don't be afraid.

Tell us what's happening out there.

Dead.

Dead.

Everyone's dead!

What kind of weather is this?

What's going on?

Those things...

They like to hide at dark places in the day.

They'll only come out when there's something.

What? Quiet!

What do you mean? Tell me slowly.

When there's no light,

especially at night,

those things

will come out and eat people.

Everyone will be dead.

Everyone will be dead.

What should we do now?

What should we do now?

Let's leave now.

Please think of something.

We will all die if we don't leave.

You hear that?

Everyone will die if we don't leave.

Shut up! Who allowed you to speak?

- I don't want to die. - It's useless even if you shoot me.

But,

I have to remind you.

They were bitten.

We weren't.

Why should we stay here and die with them?

He is right.

Brother. I don't want to die.

Let's go, brother.

I don't want to die with them.

- I don't want to die. - I still want to live.

Will we die here?

I don't want to die yet!

I won't seduce my sister-in-law again! She was the one who seduced me first!

Go!

They are coming! Hurry!

It's a dead end in front!

How is your strength?

I understand.

Hurry!

Let's go!

Hurry up! Let's go!

I wanted you to push the boxes down.

What?

It's too late. Hurry!

- They are coming again! - Hurry!

Father!

Come down!

Hurry!

- Go on! Hurry! - We'll go together!

Hurry!

Hurry!

Brother Du! Hurry!

Brother Du!

Go!

- It's locked! - The doors here are opened by pulling!

Hurry!

It's so messy. How could the medicine be at a place like this?

Brother.

Is the medicine really here?

I'm not sure.

Miss, be careful.

Be careful.

Don't worry. I'm well-trained in martial arts...

Quiet.

Well-trained in martial arts?

My friend!

Calm down.

- Calm down. - Darn you!

You scared me!

- It's alright. - Quiet.

Calm down.

Calm down.

Calm down.

Who are you?

We come from Xiaobaihe Station.

Someone was bitten on the train.

They are waiting for us to bring medicine back.

You are saying that there's a cure?

I'm from the Provincial Department of Health.

There's a batch of special medicine to control the infection here.

Great!

- Let's go. - Let's go.

Child's mom!

Child's mom!

Our son is saved.

Child's mom!

Our son is saved!

He's saved?

- Really? - Yes.

Do you know where's the medicine warehouse?

I know!

I'm the warehouse manager.

I'll take you there.

Don't be afraid.

They are all dead.

The dead won't harm anyone.

What is this place?

This place used to be a prison before the hospital was built.

After the outbreak,

this place became the quarantine area.

Many people died here.

Wait.

So...

So many rats.

Let's go.

Let's go.

They are afraid of light.

- Be careful at the back. - Yes.

It's right in front.

Follow closely.

- Why aren't they back yet? - Yes.

How long will they take?

Why is it...

We can't see them at all.

Are they still coming back?

- What should we do? - We can't wait any longer.

We will all die here if we wait any longer.

You are the only one who can get us out of this place.

- What are you doing? - What are you doing?

Open your eyes and see for yourself.

It's getting dark.

- It'll be too late if we don't leave now. - No.

I've promised that man.

Two hours.

I've been a train engineer for all my life.

I've never missed my schedule before.

Old man!

If you don't depart now,

your life will come to an end!

We can still make it if we depart now.

There are rats everywhere.

We can't leave when it gets dark.

Yes.

You should think about your own family.

Listen to him! Hurry! He is right!

I don't want to die here.

- Let me go! - Stop pushing!

Listen to me.

Whoever stops me from surviving,

I'll kill him first!

Untie him if you want to live, hurry!

Go over there if you don't want to live.

We will only depart with this car.

Bring those who don't want to leave over there.

Disconnect the train.

No!

Tang. How could you do that?

Why are you spacing out?

Do it!

- Let's go. - Listen to him!

- Where are you going? - Don't touch me!

- I can move on my own! - Let's go.

- Let's go. - Hurry up.

Don't touch my master!

You can't leave.

You have to operate the train.

Master.

Go.

It's getting dark.

We can still make it if we disconnect the train and leave now.

Yes.

When did you become the one to give orders?

Darn!

Did you forget who released you?

You dare talk to me like that?

You're trying to go against me?

I don't freaking care who you are. Do you think I won't kill you?

Can all of you escape without me?

Rats are everywhere. I'm the only one who knows where is the safest place.

- Yes. - Calm down.

- We can't survive without him. - Don't talk to him anymore.

- Get lost if you don't want to live. - What a sin.

What? Are you threatening me?

I have no choice if you are threatening me.

If you don't want to live...

Think about the rats outside.

- You don't want to live? - Fine.

Stop this! It's getting dark soon.

We won't make it if we don't leave.

We have to let them know

who's the boss of this car.

This is the rats' nest.

We'll be in trouble if we disturb them.

The new batch of medicine should be at the top floor.

This is a waste of time.

We won't get there.

These rats are in their feeding period.

They are more docile than the other rats out there.

We have a fire. There shouldn't be any problem.

I'll go.

Stay here and take care of Ting Ting for me.

Why don't

I go with you?

There will be more noise if there're more people. I'll go alone.

Sure. You may go alone.

Be careful.

Be careful.

That's right.

[Trimethoprim-Sulfamethoxazole]

- Found it. - Come down.

Bring them down.

Father. Be careful.

- Don't go there! - Throw the medicine over!

- You can't go there. - Hurry!

- Father! - Throw the medicine here!

- Catch! - Let go of me!

Father!

You can't go there.

They are coming out!

Don't go there.

Father!

Hurry up, father!

The fire is going out soon! Hurry up!

Hurry up!

- What are you doing? - What are you doing?

I'm sorry. The rich will definitely buy these medicine.

I can't let my wife and my son live a poor life anymore.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry!

Open the door! Come back!

- Hurry and open the door! - Open the door!

Knock the door down!

Let's go!

- Hurry! - Take the medicine!

Father, let's go!

Let's go!

Hurry up!

Get on! Hurry!

Hurry!

You know how to drive this?

Just start the engine and step on the gas.

- It's easy. - Why didn't I know you can drive?

There are many things that you don't know.

We're leaving.

Miss, are you sure you know how to drive?

It's alright. I just have to familiarise myself with it.

It's alright.

Take it slow.

[Joy For Everyone]

- More are coming! - There's just no end to it.

[Grains]

I'm speeding up. Hold tight.

They are coming!

Drive faster!

- Speed up, miss! - Drive faster!

Hurry, drive in front!

There's sunlight in front!

- Ling Ling! - Big Brother!

Yue Sheng!

- Big Brother! - Ling Ling!

Did you get the medicine?

We got it!

The medicine's here.

Why did the weather change again?

Hurry! Get on!

- Get on! - Quick! Get on!

Father!

Give me the medicine!

One, shut the front. Two, shut the back.

Three, remove the windpipe. Four, unhook.

He's gone mad! Stop him!

I can't die.

Hurry and take the medicine!

Hurry!

Miss!

Brother Du!

I like you!

Brother Du!

He was a good man.

- Thank you. - It's alright.

Feeling better?

Big Brother. Endure it.

I've experienced everything. Something like this...

The rats are behind us. Why are we stopping?

Yes. The rats are still behind us.

The tracks are blocked. Get down and push the car away!

The rats are coming. We will die if we get down.

Let's go!

Get down and push the car away!

Hurry! Time is running out! Let's go!

Get down and push the car away!

Hurry!

Son.

We'll not trouble ourselves anymore.

Accompany me for a while more.

Gosh!

Father!

Hurry! Get down and push the car away!

Why did you come down?

It's dangerous out here! Go back!

Father, don't say anything and just push!

I know all of you are afraid.

I'm afraid too!

But where can we still go?

There are many among you

who have lost their family.

But they'll hope that we can stay alive.

Can't we...

Can't we do our best?

Do our best to stay alive?

I'm going.

I'm going.

Me too.

Me too.

I'm going too.

- Son. - I'm going too.

Listen to my command!

One, two, three!

One, two, three!

Push harder!

One, two, three!

One, two, three!

Harder! Push harder!

Push!

Two, three!

One, two, three!

One, two, three!

I've been a rascal for all my life!

Do you think I'll be afraid of a few rats?

Brother!

Push!

Live on!

Hurry! Get on!

- Hurry! - Get on!

Come on!

Go! Get on!

Let's go!

Get on!

Run!

- Hurry! - Hurry and get on!

Hurry!

Get on!

Hey!

Hey!

Rail switch!

You will be bullied in the future!

Don't be too matured!

Get on if you have anything to say!

Father!

Ling Ling!

You are the one I'm most worried about!

Girls cannot be too stubborn!

- Father, I was wrong! - Hurry and get on!

I won't anger you again! Please get on!

Father, I was wrong.

Father! Father!

[Sound The Horn]

Father!

Second Sister.

We can't go home anymore forever, right?

As long as we are together,

that's where our home will be.

[Car 2]
