[Siberia, Russia Beijing to Moscow K3Train]
[1990s Russia: economy in shambles,
everything for sale.
Traders swarmed the K3 Railway from Beijing
to Moscow, selling cheap goods at high prices.
Like blood draws sharks, a cash-filled money train
would only attract bandits...]
Hey, beautiful.
Here, come on.
Sit here, come.
Do you have what it takes?
Don't underestimate me, little miss.
I will impress you.
Show me.
- Show her!
- Show!
Show!
Take it off!
How about that?
- See you in a bit.
- Don't go!
Shoes!
- That's enough.
- Don't block the way, get inside.
No smoking here!
- What's wrong with you?
- Don't move! Get back inside.
What is happening?
This is a robbery!
What do you want?
Don't move!
Damn it!
Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!
Open the door!
Don't hurt me!
Watch! Give it to me! Hurry up!
Screw you!
Get back inside!
Stop!
Damn!
Get down! Get down!
Get down!
Pull the brakes!
What do you want?
Don't move or I'll k*ll you!
My money...
What are you doing?
Someone is coming!
Let's go!
Start the engine.
Catch up, quickly!
- Go!
- Sir...
Move another muscle and I'll k*ll you!
Hi again, b*tch.
- Please, don't hurt her!
- I don't have any money!
k*ll the bullshit.
What's this, then?
Who the heck do you think you are?
Hands off!
b*tch, stop pretending with me.
- You hear me?
- Sir, I won't move!
Who are you to look down upon?
Let me see, what have I missed.
Want me to take over?
Show her what you got!
How's that?
Don't break it!
Is this all?
- Do you have more?
- Yeah! Of course!
This is good.
Good?
How about you make an offer then?
Make an offer? Hey, you!
[People's Public Security]
Yo, college dude, there's a rule here,
keep it clean and tidy.
- Our captain is particularly concerned.
- Got it.
Captain Cui, fresh kid out of
the Public Security University, just assigned.
My name is Sun Jian Dong.
I heard you're good at drawing.
I wanted to go to art school,
but always dreamed to become a cop.
So I went to the Public Security University.
We've never had a college kid here before.
You are the first one.
In here, the publicity department,
they may need your help.
But I specialize in criminal investigation.
What's the rush, Director Zhuo?
Why the urgent meeting in the middle of the night?
The minister asked for you by name
without saying why.
[The Ministry of Public Security
of the People's Republic of China]
K3 The K3 train heist has jeopardized
trade between China and Russia,
tranished our nation's reputation,
and is now a major threat
to both domestic and international travelers.
We've been ordered to find the perpetrators
with the greatest endeavor.
The Criminal Investigation Bureau, the Railway Public Security Bureau,
the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau,
and the Beijing Railway Public Security Bureau
are assembling a joint task force,
and sending a specialized team to Russia
to arrest the criminals
and bring them back for trial.
We cannot let anyone get away!
The Chinese community in Moscow is not so big.
We are completely exposed,
while the enemies are hidden in the shadows.
I need a few reliable hands on deck.
I'll transfer Chief Li Jian from
the Beijing Narcotics Division to assist you.
I need Kazimir g*ng from Manzhouli as well.
Consul Zhang from the Chinese Embassy in Russia
will assist your operation.
[Legal Supervision Department]
All yours?
Did you steal or snatch?
Yamamoto Isoroku?
Why don't you call yourself Yokomichi Keiji?
Fake passport?
You're quite bold.
Tell me! Where did all this come from?
I only took one bag, a small one.
- You robbed a train, didn't you?
- No, no, no...
I didn't get on that train.
What train? I didn't mention any particular train.
You said it yourself.
I dare you!
Suck it back!
I'll tell you what, this is a g*ng crime.
Whether you are the mastermind or an accomplice,
detemines your sentencing.
I am giving you a chance now.
If you tell everything you know now,
I'll consider it a meritorious act.
Do you hear me?
Here.
Talk.
Think again, K3 what exactly happened on K3?
I was dragged into this mess
by this dude called D.
- What D?
- The D as in ABCD.
I went to Moscow to deliver goods,
and he asked me over,
saying that, there will be a girl
scouting in the carriage
to collect the compartment numbers
of the rich merchants for us.
So I thought, I was going to Moscow anyway,
might as well do this with him.
What's the full name of this D?
I have no idea.
Remember how he looks? His face?
Come in.
[Grachev Sergey Pavlovich's Moscow Contact Number]
Captain, based on Ironhead's description,
I've drawn two sketches,
one with a mask, and one without,
according to the provided features.
Bring them along. We can't fully trust Ironhead.
Understood.
Get these people's visas done quickly.
- Can you speak Russian?
- Russian? I don't.
But I was the English teaching assistant
in college.
Get your visa as well, then.
Visit Accounting to withdraw money,
then exchange it at the bank.
We are taking the train to Moscow.
Moscow?
Smile.
I am Sun Jian Dong, Public Security University
of China, class of '93.
I'm from the Criminal Investigation Department
in Manzhouli, born and raised in China.
My great grandfather
migrated to China from Siberia.
Nice to meet you, Brother g*ng.
What would you like to drink?
Three cups of black tea.
- Sure.
- Thank you.
There will be a girl scouting in the carriage
to collect the compartment numbers
of the rich merchants for us.
Give me your cigaratte.
Miss, can I please borrow your lighter?
Thank you.
[Bagito Bakery]
Don't move!
Put your stuff in here! Hurry up!
Wow, branded stuff...
Hand it over!
Help! Robbers! They are going to k*ll us!
What happened?
Don't move.
Hey, buddy, this train is mine, I've scouted.
Where are you guys from?
None of your damn business!
Come on, we are in the same business,
and also both Chinese.
Listen, the next train is yours, understand?
Whatever you say. This train is all yours.
- You from Bejing, right?
- Fengtai.
Get up!
[Novosibirsk Transit Train Station]
[Moscow]
There were four of them,
the leader is from Beijing.
I've told Whisker not to go,
but that b*stard didn't listen!
What about Zhen Zhen? Why would she tag along?
Her mother is sick and she needs the money.
Can you please be quiet?
Quiet!
My apologies.
Do you do the same in your own country?
Apologies.
It's my brother's birthday this Sunday.
I want to give him a present.
Let me take care of it.
Did Igor find a job?
He works as a security guard
in a casino owned by Koreans.
The cashflow in that casino is insane.
Who is it?
Darling!
Darling!
Help!
Hello, my brother!
How do you do?
Do you have my things?
Have you heard 56K3 the robbery on K3, May 6th?
What happened?
You didn't do it, did you?
If I knew your people were on the train,
I'd take care of them.
You were definitely involved.
You have no sense of humor.
My people were robbed. How funny is that?
Come on! Let me introduce you to a new friend.
This here, Vasily. He's a big shot in Moscow!
There's nothing he can't do in Moscow!
Pleased to meet you!
And this here, Mr. Jin from Nanchang.
Well, you see,
my boss is a successful entrepreneur.
He dreams of becoming a pilot.
Though his dream didn't come true,
he has always wanted to buy
a CY-27 fighter jet as a collectible.
If this deal goes through,
the two of us will have
a 10% commission, my brother.
You think I'm part of
Russian Department of Defense?
Excuse me.
[The Train Station.]
Follow that car. See where they're going.
Really? Follow them?
Nothing but a couple of thieves.
Who else could they be?
I don't know. All I know is that I was terrified.
I went back to the train after I called you,
and hid in the restroom the entire time.
I have arranged supply for you from the embassy.
Phones and faxes are all set up.
You can also have the car.
Be careful when you go out.
It's a bit of a mess around here lately.
I heard the female victim is still in Moscow.
Yes.
Miao Zi Wen is no good for you.
Staying with him can't earn you money,
and you'll get into trouble sooner or later.
- Jealous?
- Can't I?
Isn't it too late now? You've had your chance.
You wouldn't want me anyway.
You will only get hurt being with a guy like me.
The car behind has been following us.
Turn left at the next alley.
We've been spotted.
We're being followed.
Hold on tight.
Your mother is sick. Who's taking care of her?
- My brother.
- Here.
That's a lot of money...
Don't forget to find out Lily's whereabouts
from Miao Zi Wen for me.
Director Zhuo asked me to tell you
that Li Jian has arrived.
The bait has been set.
Let's have something to eat.
This is yours.
We'll split up. We need to team up when we go out.
Our disguises are businessmen,
coming to Moscow to collect debts.
And keep an eye on the bakery and its surroundings.
[Bagito Bakery, 28 Barlow Street]
The leather-jacket lady might show up there.
- Understood.
- Understood.
This is the bakery.
[Bagito Bakery]
- Cui!
- Sergey!
- Cui! Long time no see!
- My dear friend!
- How have you been?
- I'm doing good!
Here.
Thank you!
Just out of curiosity, how did you two meet?
When I was studying abroad at Minzu College,
I lost my wallet on a train.
Cui found it for me,
and I didn't lose a single penny.
They destroyed the whole country!
Stop complaining. It is your party to be blamed!
All the good old years.
People were happy back then.
- What are they arguing about there?
- Politics.
The two parties are in a rough fight.
Recently, the economy here has been terrible.
Prices have skyrocketed,
and Ruble hits rock bottom.
Now even for a little foreign currency,
these criminals will do anything.
Sergey?
- Pasha, good to see you.
- Good to see you too.
Let me introduce you.
This is Cui, a friend from Beijing.
He is here for business.
- And this is Pasha.
- Hello.
He is the president of
the China-Russia Trade Association.
What kind of business are you in?
We're a debt collecting company.
We come here to help people collect debts.
No kidding, we can really use your service here.
Let's keep in touch.
Pasha has a great reputation
within the Chinese community.
He has ties in legal and ill*gal circles.
However, you should also be cautious of him,
he can betray anyone
for the tiniest amount of profit.
Aren't you from the KGB?
We need resources from the KGB.
It is now called the Federal Security Bureau.
I need to find these three individuals.
Also, I need some police assistance.
We have traveled a long way,
and we cannot return empty-handed.
I'll do my best.
Our department is splitting.
It's a mess here. Everyone is worried
about their own future.
- Good luck to you.
- Thank you.
What?
- What are you doing?
- What are you doing?
- What?
- What are you doing?
That's enough!
Whisker robbed that train. Is the boss pissed off?
He's got guts now, and wants to go solo.
Didn't make any money,
and he might have exposed himself already.
That b*stard is going to drag us down.
I shouldn't have let you on that train.
I heard the boss and Vasily used to work together.
One is from Beijing, the other Guangdong.
How did they meet?
I thought you two were close.
Why are you asking me now?
I only knew he's from Guangdong.
He helped me with my visa to Russia in 1990.
- He's a good person.
- A good person?
Did you know that
the boss started his career with him?
The boss used to run a stall at the zoo.
He met Vasily when he went to Guangdong
to source goods
and learned a lot about
doing business from Vasily.
"If you want to make big money,
you have to risk high."
Three years ago,
the boss came here to find Vasily,
and the two of them became partners again,
extorting human smugglers.
I heard Vasily has a daughter. Where is she now?
Why do you care so much about him?
- You've hooked up with him before, haven't you?
- What are you talking about?
You're the one hooking up with your boss!
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry, I over reacted.
Hit me. Won't you?
Hit me.
Hit me, won't you?
Please... I'm sorry.
I love you. I love you so much.
Thank you!
My mom likes you a lot.
The French cheese you sent is her favourite.
Pressing both buttons at the same time?
What floor are we going to?
To Hell.
Okay, I'll go with you.
- Marina!
- Happy birthday, Igor!
- Hey, bro!
- Here.
Igor! For your birthday.
- Is this for me?
A Rolex? Wow!
Do you like it?
Finally, I can throw away this shitty watch!
Welcome to the Water Palace Casino!
While your sister tries her luck,
why don't you show me around this Water Palace?
Thanks, baby!
Chips are there.
This is the VIP entrance.
The back door is connected
to the underground city.
The routes spread like a spider's web down there.
This way.
Here is the casino's back door.
We are now at the center of Moscow's sewer system.
The Water Palace was converted from
the master control room that operates the gates.
They will open when water accumulates,
and excess water will be released to the river.
You're in luck, it has been raining heavily
these past few days.
The gates will open in a few minutes.
I've heard the profit here is enormous.
All US dollars. Shipped out monthly.
It's the beginning of the month,
so the security is not too tough.
Towards the middle of each month,
no one is allowed inside,
except those with VIP cards.
The 15th of each month?
Yes.
Aren't they afraid of being robbed?
They fear the police more than robbers.
Without their uniform,
these cops are worse than the robbers.
How do they smuggle the money out then?
Melodies waltz in twilight's glow
Factory lights shimmer and show
Have you seen this guy?
No.
Rushing train, its bright lights gleam
Take a look at this. Have you met this guy before?
Have you seen this guy?
No.
D, I've heard there is a big job coming up.
Why don't you count me in?
Who told you that?
You were at the casino that day.
What for? You don't even gamble.
Marina wanted to try her luck.
But you were there, too.
Cash from the K3 train plus the sales of items.
That's your share.
This is it?
The money we took from that guy
who jumped off the train alone
was more than ten grand.
We all risked our lives robbing that train.
It's not enough. I have to split
the robbery money with others.
This won't cut it.
Stop counting on me then.
How did it feel going solo last time?
Didn't get to enjoy the spoils
and ended up in trouble, right?
Were you the one robbing or getting robbed?
Did it ever occur to you
that these people could have been cops?
Are you blaming me?
The fortune-telling set
showed the worst sign that day.
It's your business if you go solo and mess up.
Just don't drag us down.
What makes you think you are one to talk?
You're just a douchebag.
- Get him!
- Stop him!
Stop!
- What the hell?
- Drive!
What do you think you are doing?
Damn it!
This is Miss Li Fang,
the victim from the train heist.
Was he one of them?
I saw him on the train.
What about this guy?
Don't move.
They wore masks. I can't be certain.
Do you remember any other details?
There was this guy,
who had a walkman on his waist,
he was listening to Shostakovich's Fifth Symphony.
Are you sure about that?
I was a ballet dancer.
I knew all these pieces by heart.
Here, this is all the works of Shostakovich.
Enjoy.
Hey. Looking for this?
You miss me?
Why don't you tell me? Let me greet you properly.
I come and go as I please.
Oh, this is the birthday gift
I gave you back then.
A gift from my apprentice. Of course, I'd keep it.
I celebrated my first big earnings
while listening to this piece of music.
The 10 boxes of watches you brought,
we sold them all in less than a day.
If the sewage tunnel for our smuggling
wasn't discovered,
we would have been millionaires by now.
I can tell how you've been doing
judging from your liquor collection.
Not so great.
My clients are scared of being robbed.
They dare not come.
Looks like a good time to join forces.
I don't have that kind of nerve. I know nothing
about robbing a train, not like you.
Right. Robbing trains doesn't require much skill,
but money comes quick.
I have made up my mind now.
Mending my ways, and pursue greater heights.
For sure. Go big.
I'm planning to sell jets.
There are people actually interested
in the CY-27 fighter jets.
I've checked, and it's worth around 100 grand.
I intend to sell it 50 for 500 grand.
But I have a better idea.
You're the master now.
If it weren't for Whisker,
we'd all be just fine in Moscow.
Let's rob the Water Palace Casino.
When this is done, let's meet in Cyprus.
Just the three of us?
Don't forget about Zhen Zhen.
There're a lot of pretty girls in Cyprus.
Zhen Zhen cannot know about this though.
I mean, besides us, who else is involved?
Sage Zhu.
He used to be a machinist. He can assist you.
Marina's brother, Igor, will be our insider.
He takes 10%.
The underground Water Palace used
to be Moscow's underground water pumping station.
No one does this better than you.
But my skills are rusty now.
On Lily's birthday, I had someone
deliver a Sony Walkman to her.
Guess what? Your little girl loves music,
just as much as I do!
But people who love music are highly sensitive.
We can't handle the slightest bit of irritation.
Where is she now?
You'll find out when this is done.
You have my words.
Stay cool.
- Do you have my sewage system blueprint?
- Here.
- Thank you.
- Go.
Give it to me.
Here. This.
- Hold on.
- What?
Now.
In the garden, silence prevails
Till dawn breaks, tranquility unveils
If only you were aware
How precious it is to me
The Moscow outskirts' night
Your downpayment.
You know I won't disappoint you.
His pager number.
That Beijing guy is looking for you.
- You guys are back.
- Yes, Captain.
The bakery just closed.
No signs of the leather-jacket lady.
You should all make a call home tonight.
Maybe there's much I fail to see
Captain.
Perhaps it's my fault
Perhaps everything slowly slipped away
Perhaps there's no need for more to say
You didn't call home?
I don't have one. I grew up in an orphanage.
Never thought we'd end this way
In my heart, uncertainty exists
Yet our promises, I still hold close
Impulses ebb and flow
Don't break my heart
Let tenderness once more glows
Brother, I... I still want to take Zhen Zhen with me to Cyprus.
Waiting alone
Enduring in compliance
oy in my dreams
[Mysterious Death of a Chinese Woman in Moscow]
[Connected]
What time?
They said one hour from now.
However, under one condition.
If you're going to take action,
make sure to wait until he leaves the building.
That's my agreement with Pasha.
Got it.
[Moscow Chinese Chamber of Commerce North Branch]
You're playing both sides.
What if D accused you of double-dealing?
I placed my orders with Parsha.
I'm a businessman. I only see profit here.
[Socialist Republic of Vietnam Passport]
I paid for a Japanese or Korean passport.
It's difficult to get one now.
Can you wait?
Longer the time, higher the price though.
Look at this watch.
Can you make it happen or not?
Get me the Japanese and Korean ones.
Very soon.
- Help! - Get him inside!
Help!
- Who did you piss off? Who did this? - D.
- Who? - D-D-D!
D?
I... I... I know he's planning something big.
What is it?
Promise me you'd save me.
The sewer...
The sewer?
- Save me...
- Sun, drive faster!
Copy!
Hold on!
- What happened?
- Help the injured in the car.
Call the ambulance!
What's going on?
There's a car crash!
Is the person still alive?
Take him to the hospital.
Captain.
Shall we call an ambulance?
- Kazimir, contact Sergey immediately,
and ask him to handle this. - Roger that.
- You two, come with me. - Yes, sir.
Let's go.
Igor told me the casino takes advantage of
the complex layout of the sewer system
to transport cash and avoid robbery on the ground.
The floodgates open at 2 am
and the casino staff transport the cash
through the sewers, on the 15th, monthly.
Different route each time.
That's why we only have one chance.
The sewer behind is connected
to the upper floodgates.
We'll wait there.
Okay.
You guys keep going. Zi Wen and I
will go check the escape route.
Thank you.
Whisky.
You didn't tell Zhen Zhen, did you?
What's wrong?
I don't want to leave Zhen Zhen.
Trust me. She is not worth it.
Here.
Sage, is today a good day?
Of course! Ze is an auspicious sign.
Representing water.
When waters merge, confluent streams
boost our joint force. We've got this!
What's that noise?
Go tell the captain. I'll keep an eye here.
Just wait until I come back.
I'll talk to you another time.
Miao Zi Wen hit you, again?
Coffee, please.
Why are you still putting up with him?
Let him go. You deserve better.
I've found someone better. I just can't keep him.
Do you know Miao Zi Wen's real surname?
Miao obviously.
It's Zhang.
He changed it to Miao,
so he can act like Miao Qing Shan's real brother.
- He told me that's his mother's last name.
- He's been lying.
- So are you.
- When did I ever lie to you?
You never told me that
you used to smuggle with Miao Qing Shan,
and extorted human smugglers.
Your coffee.
Thank you.
But I tell you everything.
Guys tell white lies to keep you from worrying.
- Why do you enjoy arguing with me?
- I am not.
The day I stopped talking to you
should be the day you start to worry.
Here.
The Miao brothers never meant
to take you to Cyprus with them.
How do you know?
Maybe I'm lying.
The leather-jacket lady is with a man inside.
I'll see you.
Follow him.
Pay us our wages!
Pay us our wages!
Give us our jobs back! Pay us our wages!
We need to support our family! Pay us our wages!
Give us our jobs back! Pay us our wages!
Pay us our wages!
Pay us our wages!
Pay us our wages!

No! Let me go! No!
Pay us our wages!

Help! Thief!
He stole my bag! Thief!
Please be careful when alighting trains.
Please step aside!
Sorry!
Step aside!
- Do not get on the train.
- We are debt collectors.
Miss, your magazine from the train.
- Can we talk, miss?
- Step away or I'll scream.
Do you know D?
Help me! Help me! He's a thief!
Run! Call the Police!
Robbery in broad daylight!
[Police Station]
What were you doing on the night of June 26th?
Sorry, no Russian.
You wanna play tough?
Can you speak Chinese?
- Who the heck are you? - I'm Lieutenant Colonel
from the Federal Security Bureau.
These are our associates from China.
Release him now!
Now!
I'm sorry, we've got the wrong person.
We're looking for a suspect. Also an Asian.
He said sorry. It was a misunderstanding.
They're also looking for an Asian suspect.
- Asian suspect? - Yes, an old lady just came to identify me.
Help!
Do you still remember
what that person looked like?
Remember what the k*ller looked like?
What was the performance that day in the theater?
What was the performance?
Shostakovich's Symphony.
Do you know if they will perform
the symphony again soon?
Will they play the symphony again anytime soon?
The orchestra will play his fifth symphony
in the theater over the weekend.
His fifth symphony will be played
in the theater this weekend.
Here, my friend. This is for you.
Thank you.
Don't trade it for alcohol!
Cui, those outlaws have g*ns.
I'll lend you these four g*ns,
so that you can protect yourselves from danger.
I hope you can assist the Russian police
in capturing those criminals.
The prime minister of a neighboring country
will attend today's performance.
Okay.
Is that boy with sunglasses their son?
Yes, he is blind.
His parents take him everywhere they go.
They are protective of him.
All units, any sign of our target?
No.
- Chinese?
- That's right.
You also like Shostakovich's Fifth Symphony?
Very much.
You seem to like the fourth movement better.
How do you know?
You were humming the fourth movement just now.
Oh, right, right.
- Are you here for business?
- Yes.
I'm here to collect debts.
Debt collectors?
But you seem to have pretty good taste in music.
That wasn't me. It was him!
How many times have I told you to be quiet?
Shut up. Now go to the bathroom.
Shut up.
You can't trust anyone here.
Take care.
All units, D is 1.77 meters tall.
Wearing a black suit and sunglasses.
Seat number 11-1.
He may be armed.
Stay alert.
Captain.
Keep an eye on him.
He said we can only arrest him after
the performance. You cannot upset the VIPs.
There will be too many people
when the performance ends.
We can block all the exits.
The VIPs have their own private exit.
Once they have left,
we will screen each person one by one.
Mom, I need to use the restroom.
Attention, the blonde lady just left her seat.
Keep an eye on her. D is in 9-12.
Prepare for arrest!
My boy! Oh my God!
Thank god.
Bravo!
- Stay back!
- What happened? I got pepper spray in my eyes.
Thank you for saving my son!
Anyone would do the same.
Why don't you go with us?
- Thank you.
- My pleasure.
Well played.
It will be your turn next time.
- Please, let me give you a ride.
- Thank you.
I'm sorry.
That's a reported stolen car.
This person has records in our department.
It didn't take much effort to find him.
His name is Hans Grobler, an East German
who has served in the LSK Air Force.
Be extra cautious with this person.
He might be in disguise.
That's why we can't find him.
But we found this guy.
Four years ago, he entered Romania
with an Indonesian passport
under the name Arief Laurensia.
- See if he has a criminal record back in China.
- I'm on it.
Her name is Li Su Zhen.
She came to Moscow in 1990 with visa
and goes back to China every year.
Boss?
Can I come in?
Sure.
Wow. Such a romantic mood.
How can you not have any music?
Let me pour you a glass of wine.
Here.
Thank you.
Where's Zi Wen?
Are you okay?
I have this thing, so annoying...
I can't stop coughing when I get nervous.
Why are you nervous?
Because I have something unpleasant to say.
Huh?
Your relationship with Zi Wen ends tonight.
Boss, I've always respected you,
but please let Zi Wen and I make our own decision.
Your own decision?
Like you've decided to keep prostituting yourself?
You're so rough!
How come I didn't know that about you.
Let me get to know you better then.
Let go!
Let me go!
Happy Birthday to you.
Happy Birthday to you.
Happy...
Brother, why are you here?
Where's Zhen Zhen?
Why?
Why did you do this?
Pointing at me with a g*n now?
How many times do I have to tell you,
don't let your feelings
get in the way of our business!
That b*tch is nothing but a baggage.
I've made the right decision for you.
This is for your own good. Understand?
Do you want to make big money with me or not?
Are we still brothers?
You will always be my big brother.
I will always remember
you have saved my whole family.
My name is Li Su Zhen,
K3 and I was involved in the K3 train heist.
Tell us everything you know,
and we can offer you leniency.
What is D's real name?
Miao Qing Shan.
They planned to do something big at 2AM today.
Is the casino part of their plan?
I don't know.
His younger brother told me
that the Beijing polices were after them.
After they rob the casino, they will leave Russia.
You guys wait here. I'll go in and take a look.
My friend, have you managed to collect the debt?
Very soon.
Place your bet.
It's funny. Debtors are the real bosses now.
Don't worry. They won't get away with it.
What if they don't pay up?
I know exactly what to do with them.
What's the fun in collecting debts for others?
In a way, we are the same.
Why don't we talk?
Bets closed.
I don't think that's necessary.
Red three.
Wow. My luck is on fire. Nothing can stop me now.
Luck can only take you so far,
soon you will run out of it.
You take care yourself.
Place your bet.
Stop that guy for me.
The Chinese in black jacket.
Sir, you must stop.
Stop!
Stop. This is the Federal Security Bureau.
- Did you see where the man ran off to?
- He turned right!
The Beijing guy is here. We need to get going.
Get the money. Quick!
Stop!
That place! Where we heard noise the other day!
Do we have the money?
- Done.
- Done.
The police are here. I'll take the money.
Zi Wen, you and Vasily cover for us,
and distract the police.
Sage, you stay with me and protect the money.
Okay.
Sun, come with me. You two go over there.
Go.
The sound is coming from above.
Go that way.
Go up. They must be running towards the ground.
Watch out!
Don't move!
Who else was involved in the K3 train robbery?
I don't remember.
Where are D and Vasily?
I don't even know these people.
How would I know where they are?
Breakfast is ready.
This is all because
of you letting Zhen Zhen get away!
I'll go start the stove.
I'll take a walk.
Xiao Ming, noodles will do.
b*mb!
What's happening? There's been an expl*si*n.
We need more people here!
- Send him straight to ICU.
- Be careful!
Got it!
Gentle.
Has the pager owner responded?
Not yet.
Captain, the special investigation team
has found something.
Vasily is a wanted criminal.
His real name is Liu Yu Hu.
He graduated from Shantou Technical School
in Guangdong with a degree in engineering.
His parents were Indonesia Chinese
who move back to China in the 1960s.
He started garment business in the early 1980s,
and became the first local millionaire.
In 1988, he dug a sewage tunnel,
connecting Shenzhen and Hong Kong.
They smuggled goods like cigarettes
and electronic watches through the tunnel.
This tunnel smuggling
wasn't discovered until the pipeline ruptured
and needed repair.
Liu Yu Hu was arrested.
But he escaped when he was granted parole
to see his newborn daughter.
He has been on the run ever since.
His partner was Miao Qing Shan at the time.
Yes?
Got it.
Okay.
Good news, Mao Xiao Ming is stable now.
Also, Chief Li Jian's fishing line
has been cast into the river.
Let's see if the big fish takes the bait.
This is our last chance.
Where is my daughter?
I told you,
after we rob the casino and leave this place,
I will tell you where your daughter is.
Have we robbed the casino yet?
Aren't we still in Moscow?
Nothing has changed. Still playing dirty.
Don't say that, you are my master.
If we don't make a big fortune,
there's no good life to go to in Cyprus.
An old comrade of Hans' got this for us.
It's the price for scrap,
but the jet can still fly.
Where is my daughter?
I will let you know when we have the money.
Believe it or not, it's your only shot.
Right now, I have the goods
and you have the buyers.
We're on the same boat, like brothers, right?
Right.
Brothers.
Stronger than kinship.
They were close.
When Vasily got married,
Miao Qing Shan was his bestman.
When Vasily was detained,
and wanted out to see his newborn daughter,
he turned Miao Qing Shan in.
Later, Vasily left China,
and his wife took their daughter
away from Guangdong.
Miao Qing Shan arranged it in a way
to retaliate against Vasily.
His people took photos
or send gifts from time to time,
but he won't disclose their whereabouts to Vasily.
Miao Qing Shan said...
it was like having a leash tied to Vasily's soul.
Without him, Vasily had no way
to contact his daughter.
But Vasily definitely did not take part
in the train robbery.
Please don't arrest him for that.
- Sun.
- Yes.
Contact the task force.
See if they can locate Liu Yu Hu's daughter.
Okay.
I need more information.
Tell me everything you know
about the people involved in the robbery.
Pen and paper, please.
This plane belongs to the East German Air Force,
and is in good condition.
Gentlemen, please spare some money
for the country's veteran.
Here.
- Thank you very much. You are a kind person.
- No worries.
- How much?
- Thank you.
They are asking for 40 grand.
I can try to cut it down to 30 grand.
- I can only offer 20 grand.
- Then tell them we don't have a deal.
Hey!
Cash only.
Vasily.
Federal Security Bureau.
Please cooperate with our investigation.
Please let us in.
There's an old movie called Lenin in October,
one of its character is named Vasily.
I really liked him,
handsome, righteous, so charismatic.
But you're not Vasily.
You're Liu Yu Hu, an outlaw.
You've got the wrong person.
Unless that person died long ago.
Even if you catch me,
you will have to release me within 48 hours.
I'll give you a chance.
If you assist us in capturing Miao Qing Shan,
the court won't be so harsh on you.
I'm not going back, and I can't go back.
Alright, suit yourself then!
[Passport name: Wen Zhen Wei]
The passport isn't mine.
The passport may not be yours,
but it's your photo on the passport.
It does look like me, but it's not me.
It must be me then.
How do you lie through your teeth like that?
Is that how you talk to your daughter?
How do you tell her that her Daddy is a thief,
a wanted criminal?
Do you want me to tell your daughter that?
I don't have a daughter.
Sure.
Then keep running, along the Russian border.
Just run as far as you can.
I've told you many times.
I have nothing to do with the train robbery.
Yes, I know.
We have testimony from Li Su Zhen.
Miao Qing Shan r*ped her.
She is in hospital now.
Captain, he's definitely going to run.
If we don't let him go,
for sure Miao Qing Shan will run.
I kept you alive, and this is how you pay me back.
You're just Vasily's b*tch.
You chose your boss over me.
So are you Miao Qing Shan's b*tch.
What happened?
Damn it!
Will Miao Qing Shan face the death penalty
when he returns to China?
That's up to the judge.
My duty is to capture him
and bring him back to China.
I have a daughter.
I know.
I can't believe Vasily actually did it!
He came back with a fighter jet,
and even set the trade
at an abandoned rocket base.
Do we really need all this fire power?
You pack a lot of heat as well.
It's pretty rough these days.
My friend brought a lot of cash with him.
You've bought off everyone here.
There's no one here. There are plenty
of abandoned places like this.
Is that my money?
Where's my fighter jet?
On its way.
The fighter jet is here.
The money is yours.
And the fighter jet is yours now.
Do you need a pilot? I can give you a discount.
I'm good, I have my own man.
Jian, come over!
It's him. He's the one
who robbed me on the K3 train.
Bro, you are taking me for the wrong person.
- Bullshit. I will never forget that face.
- Police! Drop your weapons!
k*ll them all!
k*ll them all!
Brother!
Brother, get in the car!
We need assistance!
Get down!
Hold!
When we get there, watch out for this guy.
He's one of us. An undercover.
You guys go down.
Don't move!
I knew I couldn't trust you.
Take off, hurry!
Now!
Don't let him get away!
I'll pay you double! Take off now!
That damn car is right in front.
I can't accelerate.
Take off now!
Team One to the left. Team Two to the right.
- Open fire upon my order!
- Go! Go! Go!
Secure the perimeter!
- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.
Two injured here.
[Police Station]
Thank you!
We found your daughter.
Will wait for you at the embassy.
We have been waiting for you, patiently.
You cannot take away what is not yours.
Or you'll need to give it back.
This is Chief Li Jian from our Narcotics Division.
Was I really that easy to fool?
We didn't fool you.
It's written on the back of the photo.
And I meant it.
Why me?
Aren't you the Go-To Guy
in the Chinese community here?
Let's go home.
Bring Zhen Zhen home. Reunite with your daughter.
Okay.
Aside from Miao Zi Wen,
everyone else has been captured,
and confessed to their crimes.
They've all agreed to return to China for trial.
Only Miao Qing Shan refuses to confess.
Can Sergey help us bring him back to China?
There is no extradition agreement
between our country and Russia.
We cannot let that b*stard get away.
Eventually, we will capture Miao Zi Wen as well.
Take a flight back to China for now.
I don't like flying on a plane
and I hate to be left alone.
Children who grew up in an orphanage
are afraid of loneliness?
I'm feeling much better now.
Let me take the train home with you.
I can help on the way.
I'll consider it.
Come on, Sun. Let's have a drink
to celebrate Xiao Ming's recovery.
- Thank you, Captain Cui.
- Keep your voice down.
Xiao Ming.
Hello, everyone!
Tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival.
To express our gratitude towards
our colleagues at the 73rd Precinct,
Captain Cui wants to treat everyone here
with Chinese dumplings.
Let's celebrate together.
- Let's do it!
- Let's do it!
Given the economy in Russia,
this is indeed a feast.
Thank you, Captain Cui.
Soft veils on the river, a delicate embrace
Katyusha stands on the precipice so high
Her voice, a melody, as bright as spring's sky
Katyusha stands on the precipice so high
Her voice, a melody, as bright as spring's sky
The maiden's song, so sweetly sung
She sings of eagles on the grassy land
She sings of her beloved
With love letters cherished in hand
She sings of her beloved
With love letters cherished in hand
My father was a violinist.
When I was young, I loved his version
of Shostakovich's compositions.
My father was kind and gentle,
but had a stroke of bad luck.
He died a sudden death when I was thirteen.
Then my mother remarried to a b*stard
who drank all day long.
If my father hadn't died,
and I hadn't met that b*stard,
I would be a musician now.
Maybe I'll also board the same train to Moscow,
but I would be standing in a theater
performing my favorite symphony instead.
I would be greeted with applause
and flowers from the audience.
Come on. Have a dumpling.
If you don't like them, go back home
and have a better meal at Chinese New Year.
Otherwise, you can serve your sentence in Siberia,
where you'll either be beaten or frozen to death.
Life is like keeping scores.
Debts must be paid.
I can go home with you,
but better keep your eyes on me.
Although Liu Yu Hu is not an accomplice
in the train robbery,
we must also bring him back
to the country to stand trial.
Let me see your identification documents.
Sir, please listen to me.
- Our documents are fine.
- What's going on?
Guys, these are our people.
I know them. It's okay.
They are with us. It's okay.
Federal Security Bureau.
Thank you, my friend.
- Don't mention it.
- Thank you so much.
This is to show our gratitude.
- I'll wait for you in Beijing.
- Sure, I'll keep in mind.
Hand-pulled noodles at Weigongcun.
Don't forget this. Your favourite.
This is the best.
All the compartments on the train
are fully occupied.
We didn't have enough hands on deck,
and with Xiao Ming still wounded,
we can't split up on the train.
We had to put Miao Qing Shan and Liu Yu Hu
in the same compartment,
taking turns to keep an eye on them.
We have to keep our eyes on the two men
every second on the six-day train journey.
Those who are not on duty
will rest in compartment 7.
You will see your daughter soon, won't you?
Yes.
Lily is just a bargaining chip.
Owned by one Miao Qing Shan and now to another.
Do you trust him?
Once the train crosses the border,
you'll be able to see your daughter Lily.
It has been approved.
So soon?
Not prepared?
To meet your daughter with handcuffs on,
of course you need to prepare yourself.
I'll take off your handcuffs then.
I trust that you won't run.
Okay.
You won't run.
But don't let me get away.
Because if I do, Lily is dead for sure.
We'll see.
Just like we've planned,
this is the optimal place for the ambush.
Bro, hello!
We've got to get my brother out.
We must save his brother.
The train is about to arrive
at the Chinese border.
Given the disparities in track gauges,
before entering China,
we will have a two-hour stop at the depot
for chassis replacement.
Let's start working!
We're going back to Beijing,
and won't need to eat this anymore.
That way! That way!
Check this.
They are changing track and wheels.
Everything starts anew.
Stop right there!
What's that noise?
Help!
Help!
- What happen?
- Don't move!
What happened?
The train can't move anymore.
Everyone stay low. You will all be fine.
The train can't move anymore.
Keep your head low and you will all be fine.
Get out!
Close the door! Lock it up!
Sit down.
We've got company.
- You are dead!
- Stay still!
Sit down.
Everybody get out!
Hurry up! Get out!
I said, get off the train.
Move your a*s!
Help!
Get off the train.
Sit down! Sit down!
You can't get away!
Set me free! You don't have enough people!
- No way.
- Take off my handcuffs!
I need to protect myself!
I need to see my daughter!
Move your a*s!
Trust me, you don't have enough people.
Get over there!
Get out of here!
Hurry up! Stand still!
Get out of here!
Get out!
Get over there! Get out!
Run! Get out of here!
Get out of here! Get off the train!
Don't mess with us!
Get out! Crouch down!
Have you found my brother?
Not yet.
You Beijing people!
You only have one hostage, but I have a bunch.
Release my brother Miao Qing Shan.
We won't cross paths again.
- Okay, I'm moving.
- Get out! Get out now!
Get the heck off the train!
Jump! Go!
Kneel!
No funny business!
Move fast!
Move! Get off!
Get out! Get out!
Crouch down! Lie down!
Get off the train.
On your knees! Lie down!
Qing Shan!
Qing Shan!
You love hiding, don't you?
Alright, you keep hiding. I'll do my part.
One,
two,
three.
Run!
Help!
- Help!
- Hurry!
Freeze!
Put down your g*n!
- You put it down first!
- Let my brother go!
I'm taking my brother!
Don't mind me! Just go!
- Release him!
- Go!
Let my brother go! Let us go!
Bring him here.
Put the g*n down! You hear me?
Put the g*n down. You two still stand a chance.
Let's see if the police would let him die.
Miao Zi Wen, drop your weapon.
Don't mind me. Don't let Miao Qing Shan go.
- You can't let him go.
- See. Cui is not going to sh**t me.
Captain Cui, didn't you promise him
that he will get to see his daughter?
Release him!
- Miao Zi Wen, do you hear me? Drop the g*n.
- k*ll him!
- Drop the g*n.
- sh**t!
k*ll Miao Qing Shan!
- sh**t!
- k*ll him!
- Fire!
- Do not let him go!
- He will never see his daughter!
- sh**t!
- Don't let him go!
- He shall never see his daughter!
Fire!
- Zi Wen!
- Unlock the cuffs!
Liu Yu Hu!
Don't let Miao Qing Shan get away.
Don't let him go!
- We didn't let him go.
- You still got him?
- Don't worry.
- Okay, you have him.
Xiao Ming!
- Bring the first aid kit over and bandage him up.
- Got it!
I won't be able to see my daughter
with my own eyes after all.
[Sino Border Russian Gate]
Take him away.
- Thank you.
- Let's go.
Liu Yu Hu, your daughter is right in front.
What does she look like?
She is in red dress, with two braided pigtails.
She is looking at you, smiling.
Smile back.
That's your dad. Go ahead!
Dad!
Do you miss me?
Do you miss me?
Do you miss me?
Zhenhai.
We've returned.
Thank you for all the hard work. Welcome home.
With the joint effort of
Chinese and Russian police,
culprits of the 1993 Sino-Russia train heist
were sent back to China.
Over 60 defendants were sentenced
to severe penalties.

the Sino-Russia International Train Robbery",
