Short filmTranscript
00:09I captained for my third uncle sailing the open sea for a year, net profit 5.168 million, yet he
00:17only gave me 30,000.
00:19Song Haixing, why is the GPS all over? What are you circling around for?
00:23Third uncle, there's a reef zone ahead. We have to go around.
00:27Go around my ass. Going around adds two more hours.
00:30How much extra fuel is that? Do you? Go straight.
00:32Third uncle, going straight through the reefs is too risky. There are five or six lives aboard. No need to
00:38risk it.
00:38I told you to go, so go. Quit yapping.
00:40Swell direction, northwest. There's a gyre in the reef zone. If the angle of approach is right, we can ride
00:46the waves through.
00:56Holy shit, we made it!
01:03Today's the day we split the annual dividends. Once we get the money, mom won't have to keep working through
01:08her back pain, and dad can finally retire.
01:11Not bad. This batch of fish is excellent quality.
01:19800,000 flat price.
01:21Don't worry, boss. Next time I guarantee I'll bring back even more.
01:30Third uncle, today's the day we agreed to split the dividends.
01:34What's the rush? Here, 30,000.
01:36The 30,000?
01:42Think it's too little?
01:44All you do is steer the boat.
01:45The boat is mine.
01:46The fuel is on me.
01:47The connections are mine to maintain.
01:49Giving you 30,000 is already generous.
01:52Uncle, we agreed to split it 50-50.
01:54The annual net profit is 5.68 million. I should be getting 2.84 million.
01:5950-50? Did I ever say that?
02:02This is my brand new state-of-the-art fishing vessel.
02:05If you won't do it, plenty of others will.
02:15Hi, Xing. You can read currents and find fish.
02:18At this whole dock, no one can match you.
02:20Working for someone else, you'd just earn a flat wage.
02:22But with your uncle, it's different.
02:24We'll be partners.
02:25You bring the skills, I bring the boat and capital.
02:27Profits split 50-50.
02:29Uncle, you give me your word.
02:32Absolutely. You're my own nephew.
02:33Your parents are in poor health with no jobs.
02:35I'll have them work for me, set them up with some easy tasks, and pay them a salary.
02:39Deal.
02:41But now that he's made money and bought a fancier fishing vessel,
02:44he starts looking down on me.
02:51Uncle, I'll remember this.
02:53Remember what?
02:54That you can only get 30,000?
02:56Or that your whole family depends on me to survive?
03:02Fine. Then let's see.
03:03Whether without me, we can still find the fish.
03:23This is the cheapest one.
03:25$150,000.
03:26I can knock a bit off if you want it.
03:32$150,000.
03:33$150,000.
03:34Plus repair costs, registration, fuel.
03:37That's at least $170,000.
03:38I've only got $30,000 on hand.
03:40My parents are unwell.
03:41Their meds and living costs run $18,000 a month.
03:44Uncle Zhang, any chance you could go lower?
03:46$150,000 is already rock bottom.
03:48Any less, and I'd be losing money.
03:50All right, Uncle Zhang.
03:52I'm strapped for cash right now.
03:54Can I pay in installments?
03:55You, what do you even need this boat for?
03:58I want to work for myself.
04:00Work for yourself?
04:01Not afraid of Uncle Zhang?
04:04You know me.
04:06Everyone at the dock knows.
04:09Song Teagan has you under his thumb.
04:11If you try to go solo,
04:13think he'll let you?
04:16If you're serious about buying,
04:18I can ask my friends at the shipyard,
04:20see if they can cut you a deal.
04:21But as for installments,
04:23that's not my call.
04:25Thanks, Uncle Zhang.
04:26Ambition is a good thing,
04:27but you need to think it through.
04:30It's a tough road ahead.
04:31I've thought it through.
04:33I don't have much money right now,
04:34so I can only afford small boats.
04:36Can't go far out,
04:37just fish in coastal waters.
04:39With my skills,
04:39I can still make good money fast.
04:44Brother,
04:44I took you in to help you out,
04:46not so you could cause me trouble.
04:51What's taking so long?
04:53Too sorry.
04:55Useless,
04:55you were passable when you were young.
04:57Now you're just a heap of rotten flesh.
04:59If it weren't for Song Haisheng's sake,
05:01I'd have thrown you out long ago.
05:03Uncle,
05:04my dad's getting old.
05:06Can't you just speak to him decently?
05:07Oh,
05:08feeling sorry for your old man?
05:09Then work harder yourself.
05:10You and two dead weights,
05:12taking three shares.
05:13Am I feeding your family for free?
05:15You.
05:16Forget it.
05:17Just bear with it.
05:18Your mom's medicine costs over $10,000 a month.
05:21We can't afford to cross him.
05:24Dad,
05:25I know.
05:26Go rest over there.
05:27I'll handle it.
05:30Rest period's cut short this time.
05:32Manager Goo's seafood chain has an event next month.
05:34You leave the day after tomorrow,
05:36head up north,
05:36and haul $2 million in premium catch.
05:44Mom,
05:44why are you still up?
05:47It's nothing.
05:48I'll sleep once I finish this bit of work.
05:54Haisheng,
05:56this is what I've saved up over the years.
05:58Take it.
05:59Mom,
06:01this is your money.
06:02I can't take it.
06:03I know.
06:04I know your third uncle treats you badly.
06:06I'm useless.
06:07Can't do much to help you.
06:08But I believe in you.
06:10You'll make something of yourself.
06:12I will, Mom.
06:13Once you've made it,
06:14you won't have to put up with him anymore.
06:17I'll be waiting for that day.
06:18Mom,
06:19I got some hot water for you to soak your feet and rest up.
06:22All right.
06:23Dad, Mom,
06:24Susu,
06:24there's something I want to tell you.
06:28I don't want to work for third uncle anymore.
06:31He bullies you,
06:32bullies me.
06:33I've had enough.
06:36Haisheng,
06:36your third uncle may not be great,
06:38but he gives us work and promised you half the profits.
06:41There was no half.
06:42He gave me 30,000.
06:43What?
06:4430,000?
06:45Didn't he agree to split it evenly?
06:46I've already made up my mind.
06:48I'm buying my own boat and working alone.
06:53This is all of my dividend.
06:5530,000.
06:56Mom gave me 3,000.
06:58That makes 33,000 altogether.
07:00Still a bit short,
07:01but I've got the skills.
07:03I can find the fish.
07:04As long as I have a boat,
07:05I can turn things around.
07:10Haisheng,
07:12this is what your dad saved up over the years.
07:1420,000.
07:18Honey,
07:18this is my dowry.
07:19Sell it for the money.
07:20Don't worry about the medicine for me and your dad.
07:23What you bought us last time isn't even finished yet.
07:26Just focus on what you need to do.
07:28Mom,
07:29Dad,
07:29Susu,
07:30I swear I'll give you all a better life.
07:32Haisheng,
07:32and Dad believes in you.
07:34Mom believes in you too.
07:37Honey,
07:38I'll be waiting for the day you make it.
07:44Master.
07:45Haisheng,
07:46I heard you've been looking at boats.
07:49Master,
07:50I know it sounds like a pipe dream.
07:52I,
07:52you're doing right.
07:53With your third uncle bullying you like that,
07:55you can't just keep taking it.
07:58Master.
07:59Master.
08:26Hi,
08:27I'll have a look for you.
08:28Thank you,
08:28Master.
08:29Haisheng,
08:29the second-hand market is much cheaper than old Zhang's.
08:32It suits you better right now.
08:34But you can't just look at the price when buying a boat.
08:36You've got to check the foundation and the frame.
08:38You need to know if a boat can still hold up against the waves.
08:41This one's no good.
08:42The frame's fallen apart.
08:44This one's too expensive.
08:46We can't afford it.
08:48Haisheng,
08:48look at that one.
08:51Master.
08:52Good foundation on this one.
08:53Sturdy frame.
08:54You can tell.
08:56The frame on this one is good.
08:57It's just the hull that's damaged.
08:59If you can fix it up,
09:01she'll still serve you well.
09:0350,000 for this boat.
09:07I'll take it.
09:09Haisheng,
09:10the day after tomorrow,
09:11we head out for Manager Gu
09:12to prepare that 2 million worth of cargo.
09:14Don't take any days off before then.
09:16Come in early and give the boat an inspection.
09:20Uncle.
09:22I can't go.
09:24What do you mean?
09:25Giving me attitude, huh?
09:26Hey.
09:31Tegan,
09:32it's the fool.
09:33Haisheng needs days to learn some new skills from me.
09:36With his ability,
09:37leaving a week later won't be a problem.
09:40It's all set.
09:41No need to show our hand to him now.
09:43Fine.
09:44So he's got some trade skills
09:45and trained half the dock.
09:46So what?
09:46Whatever.
09:47There's still time anyway.
09:48Once Haisheng learns,
09:49he'll learn from me.
09:50Brother Tegan,
09:50is he really the legendary guy
09:52who sails in typhoons
09:53and still turns a profit?
09:54Ha!
09:55Obviously.
09:55I paid a million for that boat.
09:57Even you could make money on it.
09:58Come on,
09:59sing another song for me.
10:00Dad,
10:00Mom,
10:01Su Su.
10:03We have our own boat now.
10:09Really?
10:10How much did it cost?
10:1150,000.
10:11My master picked it out.
10:13He said it's got good bones.
10:14Just needs some fixes.
10:15The frame is solid.
10:16Just the hull's a bit damaged.
10:18As for his repair skills,
10:19don't worry.
10:19He's the best student I've ever taught.
10:21Honey,
10:21you really did it.
10:24It's not over yet.
10:25The boat's bought.
10:26Next comes repairs,
10:27paperwork,
10:28and prepping for sea.
10:29It'll take about a week,
10:30and then everything we earn
10:31will be ours to keep.
10:36Boss Song,
10:37my shipment's on track, right?
10:41Rest assured, Manager Gu.
10:43I guarantee I'll get it all for you.
10:45Premium fish,
10:46as much as you need.
10:47I've heard.
10:48You've got a real talent working for you,
10:51named Song Haisheng.
10:53You're well informed.
10:54Right,
10:54that kid's great at finding fish.
10:56With him on it,
10:57the shipment's guaranteed.
10:58I'll call him right now.
11:01The fishing license and permits
11:02are all taken care of.
11:04Just need to pick them up tomorrow.
11:05Once the boat's repaired,
11:07I'll catch some fish and crab nearby,
11:09put some better food on the table at home.
11:13Hey.
11:13Finish up with your master
11:14and get back here.
11:15Manager Gu is already pushing.
11:17I'm giving you three more days.
11:19If you don't get out to sea,
11:20you're fired.
11:21Got it.
11:25Manager Gu,
11:26you heard that just now.
11:27The shipment's guaranteed.
11:29No issues.
11:30Good.
11:30Then I'll be waiting.
11:32One month from now,
11:33if you can't deliver,
11:34you know the consequences.
11:35Don't worry, Manager Gu.
11:37We've already signed the contract.
11:39Absolutely no problem.
11:41Dad,
11:42Song Haixing hasn't run off,
11:44has he?
11:44Ah,
11:44he's not going anywhere.
11:46Back when he left his old boss
11:47to work for me,
11:48he burned every bridge he had.
11:50Now everyone at the dock
11:51knows I'm the one in charge.
11:53Who dare hire him?
11:54But I heard lately
11:55he keeps going down to the dock.
11:57So what?
11:57He's just looking at boats.
11:59His old master taught him
12:00some new tricks.
12:01Can't buy a boat,
12:02just wasting time.
12:03Let him run.
12:04Relax, son.
12:05That kid Song Haixing,
12:07I've got him right where I want him.
12:08His parents work for me.
12:09His wife has a stall at the dock.
12:11Even if he dared run,
12:12where would he go?
12:14You really are something, Dad!
12:15Once I deliver this shipment,
12:17the net profit alone
12:18will be around 1.8 to 1.9 million.
12:20Dad'll buy you a big boat.
12:21Then we'll have Song Haixing
12:23pulling double shifts
12:24on both our boats.
12:25Great!
12:32Haixing, this one's a bit loose.
12:34Tighten it up.
12:35Got it.
12:37This rope's worn out.
12:39Needs replacing.
12:52When Dad was young,
12:54he was the best helmsman
12:55at the dock too.
12:57But he never owned
12:58a fishing vessel of his own.
13:01This boat's got a solid frame.
13:03She'll be ready for the sea tomorrow.
13:04Dad, I've made up my mind.
13:07Once my boat's fixed up,
13:08I'll get Da Zhuang.
13:09He's worked with me before.
13:11Solid guy.
13:12As long as you've thought it through,
13:14I'll follow your lead.
13:17Haixing,
13:18why'd you ask me to come here?
13:19Whose boat is this?
13:21Mine.
13:22I'm going solo.
13:24You in or not?
13:25You bought your own boat?
13:26Damn, that's impressive!
13:28You in?
13:29I'll sign a contract with you.
13:31Double your previous pay.
13:32Soon enough,
13:33you'll be able to buy
13:34your own boat too.
13:35Haixing,
13:36of course I trust you.
13:37Working with you,
13:38there's a future in it.
13:40Good.
13:45Hey, we've got a problem.
13:47Goss!
13:47Song Lao Hai and his wife are there.
13:49Too dark to see clearly.
13:51Could it be Song Haixing leaving?
14:01Mom made this for you.
14:02Your favorite.
14:05Honey,
14:05I'll be waiting for you to come back.
14:07Mom,
14:08Dad,
14:08I left a note at Uncle's door
14:10telling him I've gone out on my own.
14:12Don't go work for him anymore
14:13so he won't take it out on you.
14:14Your mom and I haven't picked up
14:16this month's wages yet.
14:17We know what we're doing.
14:19Go on now,
14:20safe travels.
14:27Damn,
14:28I'm beat.
14:29Hey, bro,
14:29whose boat is this?
14:33Song Haixing's!
14:37What am I even thinking?
14:38Song Haixing only has
14:4030,000 to his name.
14:41He can't buy shit for a boat.
14:43This family's probably gone crazy
14:45from being broke
14:46out here in the middle of the night
14:47raving like lunatics.
14:49Third brother,
14:50you haven't paid our wages
14:51for this month yet.
14:52I just gave your family
14:5330,000.
14:54Isn't that enough?
14:55Bro,
14:55brother,
14:56settle accounts fair.
14:57You can't treat me like a sucker.
15:01Damn it!
15:02Song Haixing,
15:03don't let me find you.
15:12Brother Haixing's!
15:13the weather forecast says tomorrow
15:15a typhoon's making landfall.
15:17Why are we still heading out?
15:18Because of the typhoon,
15:20fish will flee to shallow waters today.
15:22This is the best chance we've got.
15:23One haul,
15:24and we leave.
15:25Back at port before dawn.
15:26But these waves
15:27aren't small either.
15:29Three to four meter swells
15:30are within my control.
15:31Relax.
15:32I've got this.
15:34The water's a shade darker.
15:36That means the depth
15:37just increased sharply,
15:38the wave pattern smoothing out.
15:39That means there's a thermocline below.
15:42Seabirds are flying that way.
15:43Da Zhuang,
15:44see those silver flashes
15:45on the surface over there?
15:47Brother Sheng,
15:48what's that?
15:48That's spray kicked up
15:50by a school of fish.
15:51A huge school down below,
15:52gathering along the thermocline.
15:55Brother Sheng,
15:56the fish finder's showing nothing.
15:58The fish finder
15:58can only pick up shallow fish.
16:00This school is below the thermocline.
16:01It can't reach them.
16:02Let's go.
16:03Head that way.
16:04I've got a feeling
16:04this haul's gonna bust the net.
16:06I trust you!
16:16Holy shit!
16:17The screen's packed with fish!
16:21Cast the net!
16:34Easy now.
16:35No rush.
16:36Let the fish crowd
16:37into the net themselves.
16:47There's so many!
16:49At least 5,000 jinn.
16:50Da Zhuang,
16:51get ready to sort them.
16:54Brother Sheng,
16:55this single haul
16:57is worth 300,000.
16:58One net of ours
16:59beats a whole month
17:00for anyone else.
17:01Brother Sheng,
17:02how did you know
17:03where they'd be?
17:04Watercolor,
17:04currents,
17:05the thermocline,
17:06the fish migration routes
17:08are all mapped in my head.
17:09Song Hai Sheng's
17:10really gotten full of himself.
17:12Shouldn't have given him
17:12even 30,000.
17:14Disappears for days
17:15and nobody can find him.
17:16What about my goods?
17:21That boat!
17:22Could it be Song Hai Sheng's?
17:23He's gone solo!
17:24Dad,
17:25if it weren't for you,
17:26he'd be doing odd jobs
17:27who knows where.
17:28He can't even afford
17:29his uncle and aunt's medicine.
17:31Doesn't even have a proper job.
17:32He wouldn't dare go solo.
17:34You're right.
17:35Other than me taking him in,
17:37nobody would want him.
17:40What?
17:43He actually dared to go solo?
17:50Mr. Song,
17:50can my shipment be delivered on time?
17:52Manager Goo,
17:53the schedule's a bit tight.
17:54Why don't you...
17:55It's in black and white,
17:56clear as day.
17:57Missed the deadline,
17:58triple damages.
17:59Six million.
18:00Dad,
18:01what do we do?
18:02Huh?
18:02What do you mean,
18:03what do we do?
18:04The dock is never short of sailors.
18:06Go find some.
18:07Offer double the pay.
18:08We'll find someone,
18:09I'm sure.
18:09Fine.
18:10With a boat as good as mine,
18:12anyone can handle it.
18:14Song Hai Sheng,
18:14don't think you're so important.
18:16I heard Song Hai Sheng
18:17bought some beat up
18:18second hand boat,
18:19patched it up
18:20and headed out to sea.
18:21Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
18:23That piece of junk?
18:24He expects to make it back?
18:26It'll be a miracle
18:27if it doesn't sink.
18:28Look,
18:28what's that?
18:31That's...
18:31Song Hai Sheng is back!
18:37Fully loaded.
18:38How is that possible?
18:40Boss Song,
18:40I'll take this entire batch of fish.
18:42Hey, Boss Song,
18:43sell to me.
18:44I'll pay top price.
18:45No rush.
18:48How...
18:48How is this possible?
18:50Uncle,
18:51long time no see.
18:52You!
18:53You did this on purpose!
18:54On purpose?
18:56I'm just making a living
18:57with my own skills.
18:58300,000 flat price!
19:00Nobody outbid me!
19:03Why does he get to be so lucky?
19:06I don't believe I can't find
19:07a better helmsman than you.
19:09Just you wait.
19:10Boss Song,
19:11where's my shipment?
19:12Manager Goo,
19:13a few more days.
19:14There's still half a month left.
19:15Once I find a helmsman,
19:16we'll make it.
19:17There's still time!
19:18Do you think I'm stupid?
19:19A normal round trip
19:20takes 20 days.
19:22You only have half a month
19:23and haven't set sail.
19:24The penalty is 6 million.
19:25Every last cent.
19:266 million?
19:27I'm giving you half a month.
19:29When that's up,
19:30I either see the goods
19:31or I see the money.
19:32Otherwise,
19:33I'll see you in court.
19:35Dad,
19:35what do we do?
19:36What do we do?
19:37How should I know what to do?
19:38Wanna go out to sea?
19:39I'll pay you top dollar.
19:41Uncle Song,
19:42it's typhoon season now.
19:43Nobody dares go out to sea.
19:45And your cargo
19:46has such high standards,
19:47we just can't take it on.
19:49Now,
19:51I have to find a way.
19:54As long as the money's good enough,
19:56I refuse to believe
19:57I can't find someone
19:58better than Song Haisheng.
20:03Dad,
20:04go easy on the drinks.
20:05I'm happy today.
20:06A little won't hurt.
20:07Once we sell this batch,
20:0850,000 goes to Da Zhuang.
20:10The remaining 250,000,
20:12I'll get medicine for you and Mom
20:14and get Su Su a set of gold jewelry.
20:16When has our family
20:17ever seen this kind of money?
20:19You're just starting out.
20:20You don't need to spend
20:21so much on me.
20:22I want to.
20:22This rascal,
20:23he took your money
20:24and he'll pay it back.
20:25All right,
20:26for the hangover.
20:29Whose boat is this?
20:30It's mine.
20:32Name's Zhao De Hai.
20:33What can I do for you, boss?
20:34I'm the owner of
20:35East Sea Seafood Chain.
20:36I've heard about you.
20:372,000 gin of fish
20:38and a single net,
20:39all top grade.
20:40The whole doc is talking about it.
20:41You flatter me, Mr. Zhao.
20:43Flatter you?
20:44I've been in the seafood business
20:45for 20 years.
20:46I've seen all kinds of people.
20:48But a young man like you
20:49is truly rare.
20:53I'd like to discuss a deal.
21:01Song Haixing!
21:03Why you Song Haixing?
21:06You went behind my back
21:07and bought a boat
21:08to work on your own!
21:09Dad,
21:10Manager Gu called again.
21:11He said if we can't deliver
21:12the goods,
21:13he'll sue us for breach.
21:14Let him sue.
21:14I'm Song Teigen.
21:15I'm not at the end
21:16of my rope yet.
21:17Song Haixing,
21:17you think I'm done
21:18just because you left?
21:20I'll pay top dollar
21:21to hire someone
21:22and I'll still bring in fish.
21:26Dad,
21:26what are you planning?
21:27I've heard there's a man
21:28called Iron Hand Chen.
21:29He's the best captain
21:30in these waters.
21:31His skill at finding fish
21:32is no less than
21:33Song Haixing's.
21:33Iron Hand Chen?
21:34That famous old captain?
21:35But his price is
21:36five times Song Haixing's
21:37and he only sails
21:38his own boat.
21:39Right.
21:40I'll go find him tomorrow.
21:41Pay five times the price
21:42to get him out to sea.
21:43I want to see
21:44if without Song Haixing,
21:45I can still bring in fish.
21:48What partnership?
21:50I need a steady supply,
21:51especially high-quality
21:52saltwater fish.
21:53You handle the supply,
21:55I handle the sales.
21:56We can negotiate on price.
21:57Mr. Zhao,
21:58I'd like to ask,
21:59why did you choose me?
22:00You've got great skills
22:01and the fish you haul in
22:03are top quality.
22:04Why wouldn't I choose you?
22:05All right,
22:06let's set a time
22:07to discuss the details.
22:08Straightforward.
22:09I like working
22:09with direct people.
22:10My office tomorrow afternoon.
22:12Shenji!
22:13PC Sifu Chain,
22:15that's a major company.
22:17Master Iron Hand Chen,
22:19I've heard a lot about you.
22:21Uncle Song has a favor to ask.
22:24I'd like Master Chen
22:25to go out to sea for me
22:26and bring back a good haul.
22:28We can talk about the price.
22:29Five times the rate.
22:31Five times?
22:32Sure.
22:33When do we set out?
22:35The sooner the better.
22:38Let me be upfront with you.
22:40I, Iron Hand Chen,
22:41know how to find fish.
22:43But if you want me
22:43to go to the open sea
22:44to the places
22:45Song Haisheng has been,
22:46I can't guarantee results.
22:48Master Chen,
22:49you're too modest.
22:50You've been at sea
22:51all these years.
22:52What storms
22:52haven't you weathered?
22:53Uncle Song,
22:54I'm not being modest.
22:55That kid Song Haisheng,
22:56his fish fighting skill
22:57is uncanny.
22:57Where he can go
22:58doesn't mean anyone else can.
22:59Master Chen,
23:00just give it a try.
23:01What if it works out?
23:02Fine,
23:02but let me make this clear up front.
23:03The open sea costs a lot.
23:05You pay a deposit first.
23:06A hundred thousand.
23:07Deal.
23:09Mr. Song,
23:10I'll cut straight to it.
23:11I need a stable supply.
23:12At least 50,000 Jin
23:14of premium ocean fish
23:15per month.
23:15Priced anywhere from
23:16800,000 to 1.2 million.
23:19Mr. Zhao,
23:20I can do that.
23:20But I have one condition.
23:23What condition?
23:24The price.
23:26I want 20%
23:27above market rate.
23:29Ha ha ha!
23:30Mr. Song,
23:31you've got some nerve.
23:32Mr. Zhao,
23:32I make my living on skill.
23:34My fish are better quality
23:35than anyone else's.
23:36You know that.
23:37Fine,
23:38we'll do it your way.
23:3920% above.
23:40But the quality
23:41had better be top notch.
23:43A pleasure.
23:44Pleasure doing business.
23:47Shenge,
23:47how did it go with Mr. Zhao?
23:49Deal's done.
23:5150,000 Jin a month.
23:5320% above.
23:5520% above?
23:56So each call,
23:58we'd make an extra
23:5830 or 40,000?
24:00That's right.
24:01Starting now,
24:02your pay is doubled.
24:03That's amazing.
24:04Following you,
24:05Shenge,
24:06best decision I ever made.
24:09I've spent decades
24:10out on these waters.
24:11There's no storm
24:12I haven't weathered.
24:14I've been to these waters before.
24:16There should be fish here.
24:18Captain,
24:19there's nothing in these waters.
24:20That's impossible.
24:21Head further north.
24:25Boss,
24:25still nothing out here.
24:27Keep looking.
24:28I refuse to believe it.
24:30Iron Hand Chen
24:31is known for his skill.
24:34He'll find fish for sure.
24:37Five more days.
24:40Five more days.
24:42Boss,
24:43we've been searching
24:43for five days now.
24:45Still nothing.
24:46Keep looking.
24:47Boss,
24:47I really can't go on anymore.
24:49And our supplies
24:50are almost gone.
24:56How could the weather forecast
24:58be so wrong?
24:59It was supposed to skirt us.
25:01Why has the center
25:02suddenly shifted?
25:03Boss,
25:04the eye of the typhoon
25:05is heading straight for us.
25:09Turn back now.
25:10It's the last day.
25:17Uncle Song,
25:19Iron Hand Chen's boat is back.
25:21It's back?
25:22What about the fish?
25:23No fish.
25:24The boat?
25:25The boat's wrecked too.
25:26What?
25:28They hit a typhoon.
25:29The hull took on water.
25:31The engine burned out too.
25:32Where's Iron Hand Chen?
25:34He's...
25:34He's waiting for you
25:35at the dock.
25:42Iron Hand Chen,
25:43what happened?
25:45What happened?
25:48Uncle Song,
25:48you have the nerve
25:49to ask me?
25:50I hired you
25:51to go out to sea.
25:52Paid you all that money.
25:53And you didn't bring back
25:54a single fish.
25:55Song,
25:56Tegan,
25:56how dare you say that to me?
25:57Do you know
25:58what those waters are?
25:59There's no fish
25:59to catch out there at all.
26:00That kid Song Haisheng
26:02just got lucky.
26:03He stumbled on a school of fish.
26:04Sending me to those waters
26:05was sending me to my death.
26:07But Song Haisheng
26:08used to catch fish there.
26:09Song Haisheng is Song Haisheng.
26:10I'm me.
26:11I can't match his skills.
26:12Sending me to the open sea,
26:13there's simply no fish to catch.
26:15Hitting that typhoon,
26:16it was God's mercy
26:17that I made it back alive.
26:20Uncle Song,
26:20let me make one thing clear.
26:22I took my own boat out there.
26:24Damaged like this,
26:25you're paying for it.
26:26Pay up?
26:26Pay for what?
26:28Repairing this boat
26:29costs at least $100,000,
26:30plus medical bills
26:31for my injured men
26:32and another $50,000
26:34for lost wages.
26:35Then we'll call it even.
26:36$100,000, $50,000.
26:38That's $150,000 altogether.
26:40Cut the crap.
26:41Wire the money
26:42to my account
26:42within three days.
26:43Or you'll regret it.
26:45You didn't even bring me
26:46$150,000 worth of fish
26:48and now you want money?
26:50Brother Shang,
26:51Moschow's orders
26:52are completely booked up.
26:53If we come back
26:54with a full haul this trip,
26:55we could make $1.3 million.
27:01Gai Zhuang,
27:02bring you the nautical chart.
27:06Water's half a degree
27:06cooler than yesterday.
27:08Fish will seek warmer water
27:09heading southeast.
27:10A warm current's here.
27:12They should gather there.
27:14Brother Shang,
27:14are you sure?
27:15I've checked
27:16three years of current data.
27:17The migration route this season
27:18runs right through here.
27:26Brother Shang,
27:28the screen's full again.
27:29Cast the net.
27:38This haul,
27:39this haul is worth
27:40$500,000.
27:41Brother Shang,
27:42you've got a gift
27:42from the gods.
27:47Song Tegan,
27:48time's up.
27:49Where's the goods?
27:51Manager Gu,
27:52there was a problem
27:53on Iron Hand Chen's end.
27:54A problem?
27:55What problem?
27:56His boat came back empty.
27:57The whole doc knows about it.
27:59You told me to wait
28:00and this is what I get?
28:01Manager Gu,
28:02just give me a few more days.
28:03I'm working on it.
28:04Working on it?
28:05This is what you call
28:06trying your best.
28:07Can't even catch
28:07a single fish.
28:08Three days.
28:09I want to see the goods
28:10in three days.
28:11Otherwise,
28:11it's $6 million in damages
28:13every last cent.
28:17$6 million.
28:19$6 million.
28:22Do you have any idea
28:23how much we owe?
28:24$6 million in damages
28:26to Manager Gu,
28:27$150,000 to Iron Hand Chen
28:29plus fuel and boat rental.
28:31That's $6.5 million altogether.
28:33Song Tegan,
28:34didn't you say
28:34we'd be living
28:35the good life with you?
28:36And now,
28:37we're drowning in debt.
28:38Just wait a little longer, honey.
28:40I'm working on it.
28:41Working on it?
28:42What can you possibly do?
28:43Song Hai Sheng is gone.
28:45Iron Hand Chen failed too.
28:46Who else can you turn to?
28:48I don't care anymore.
28:49If in three days
28:50you can't get the money,
28:51I'm selling your boat.
28:53The boat?
28:54Sell the boat?
28:59Mr. Song,
29:00this batch
29:01is even better quality
29:02than the last.
29:03You flatter me,
29:04Mr. Zhao.
29:05Mr. Song,
29:06I'd like to discuss
29:07a long-term partnership
29:08with you.
29:08Fishing alone out there,
29:09your output is limited.
29:10I want to invest
29:11in scaling up your operation.
29:12You bring the skill,
29:13I bring the capital,
29:14and we partner up.
29:15Partners?
29:16Another partnership pitch.
29:18I know what you're thinking,
29:19but I'm different.
29:19My terms are simple.
29:20You handle the licensed
29:21fishing and sales.
29:22I handle funding
29:23and distribution.
29:24We split profits
29:2570-30.
29:2670 for you,
29:2630 for me.
29:27You serious about that,
29:28Mr. Zhao?
29:29You don't have to trust me,
29:30but you can't argue
29:31with a signed contract.
29:32If you don't expand,
29:33you'll just get swallowed up.
29:39I'll sign.
29:41Pleasure doing business.
29:43Uncle Song,
29:44where's my pay
29:45and my fuel money?
29:4750,000,
29:47settle it all at once.
29:50Everyone,
29:51just give me a few more days.
29:53I'm strapped for cash right now.
29:56A few more days?
29:57You owe Manager Goo
29:586 million.
29:59The whole doc knows about it.
30:00You think you can still
30:01pay us back?
30:02Can't pay?
30:03Then I'm taking this stuff
30:04with me to cover the debt.
30:06Uncle Song,
30:07you know your situation.
30:08Best behave yourself,
30:10or don't blame me
30:11for getting rough.
30:14It's over.
30:16It's all over.
30:18Old friend,
30:19we've been through
30:20the toughest days together.
30:30This is my boat now.
30:33I shang this.
30:34This is our new boat.
30:37200 tons of...
30:38From now on,
30:40she's our lifeline out at sea.
30:41Hi, shang.
30:42This boat is grander
30:44than any I've ever seen
30:45in my life.
30:45Can I work with you
30:46from now on?
30:48Of course.
30:50Hi, shang.
30:50Can I go aboard
30:51and take a look?
30:52Ha ha ha.
30:52Go ahead.
30:53This deck is cleaner
30:54than the bed in my house.
30:55Now this is a real
30:56fishing vessel.
30:58Compared to this,
30:59all those old boats
31:00were just rickety sandpans.
31:05From 30,000
31:06to a 200 ton vessel,
31:08from being trampled
31:09underfoot
31:09to finally holding
31:10my head high,
31:11all with my own two hands.
31:12You're incredible.
31:13After all you've been through,
31:14you've finally made it.
31:15Not yet.
31:17This is just the beginning.
31:18We're going to earn
31:19even more
31:21and give our families
31:22a better life.
31:24We're with you.
31:25We're with you,
31:26Hi, shang.
31:28Hi, shang.
31:29This is...
31:31This is your boat.
31:32Mom, dad,
31:33this is our new boat.
31:34200 tons.
31:35Good, good.
31:36My son's really
31:37made something of himself.
31:39Honey, you really did it.
31:42We're not done yet.
31:43This is just the beginning.
31:45Back when I first
31:46went out to sea,
31:47all I ever hoped for
31:48was to have a boat
31:48of my own someday.
31:49Never thought that dream
31:51would be my son
31:51who made it come true.
31:54Hi, shang's dad
31:55has lived a life
31:56worth living.
31:57Dad.
31:59We'll have even bigger boats
32:00down the road
32:01and better days ahead.
32:03My son,
32:04my son's really made it.
32:08Look at Song,
32:09Hi, shang's new boat.
32:10200 tons.
32:11I've worked my whole life
32:12and never seen a boat
32:13this big.
32:14I heard his third uncle
32:15sold his boat
32:16just to pay off debts.
32:17Now he's looking
32:18at apartments to sell.
32:19What goes around
32:20comes around.
32:21Mr. Song,
32:22this house is in a great location.
32:24Someone's offering
32:24800,000.
32:26800,000?
32:28Just sign it.
32:30You can't pay off the debt
32:31without signing.
32:37Song Tegan,
32:38is this the good life
32:39you promised me?
32:40The boat's gone.
32:42The house is gone too.
32:43And you're still
32:44buried in debt?
32:45I can't live like this anymore.
32:47Honey,
32:47just bear with me
32:48a little longer.
32:49I'm working on it.
32:50Working on it?
32:51What can you possibly
32:52come up with?
32:56Manager Gu sent us.
32:57When will you pay
32:58what you owe?
32:59Just a few more days, please.
33:00Tomorrow.
33:01That's the latest.
33:02Transfer the payment
33:03to Manager Gu's account.
33:04Otherwise,
33:05you know what Manager Gu
33:06is capable of.
33:10Where am I supposed
33:11to get the money?
33:16Song Haisheng is
33:17really something.
33:18Every time he goes
33:19out to sea,
33:20no matter what
33:20the weather's like,
33:21he always comes back
33:22with a catch.
33:23That kid's got real talent.
33:34Third uncle.
33:35Song Tegan's creditors
33:37are here again
33:37demanding payment.
33:38What are you going to do?
33:40I'm trying to figure
33:41something out.
33:42Figure something out?
33:43What can you possibly do?
33:44The boat's gone.
33:45The house is gone.
33:46What do you even have left?
33:48I've had enough.
33:49I can't live like this anymore.
33:51Where are you going?
33:52I'm staying at my parents' place.
33:54I'm done with this life.
34:00Song Haisheng,
34:02this is all your fault.
34:04Haisheng,
34:04I heard we're buying
34:05a cargo ship.
34:06Right.
34:07Fishing boats alone
34:08aren't enough.
34:09We need our own
34:10transport vessel
34:11dedicated to
34:11deliveries.
34:12That way,
34:13costs are lower
34:14and more efficient.
34:15Haisheng,
34:16about your third uncle.
34:17Dad,
34:18what are you trying to say?
34:19Well,
34:19he is your third uncle after all.
34:21He's got nothing left now.
34:22Dad,
34:23let me think about it.
34:29Honey,
34:29thank you.
34:31For what?
34:34For giving me
34:35such a good life.
34:36Su Su Su,
34:37this is only the beginning.
34:39From now on,
34:40I'll give you
34:40an even better life.
34:42Well,
34:43well,
34:43isn't that old third song?
34:44Used to be so high
34:45and mighty.
34:46Look how far
34:47he's fallen now.
34:48Exactly.
34:49After how he treated
34:49Song Haisheng,
34:51karma's finally
34:51caught up with him.
34:55Brother Sheng,
34:56our profit this month
34:57is 2.8 million.
34:58As you requested,
34:5950% of the profits
35:01have been distributed
35:01to the crew.
35:02Everyone's really
35:03grateful to you.
35:05As they should be.
35:06The boys follow me.
35:07We all get rich together.
35:09Ha ha ha.
35:10What are you two up to?
35:13Third uncle.
35:22Hi Sheng.
35:24Third uncle,
35:24what do you want to say?
35:26Hi Sheng,
35:27your uncle knows
35:28he was wrong.
35:28This past year,
35:29I've regretted it
35:30every single day.
35:31And?
35:32I don't dare
35:33ask for your forgiveness.
35:34I just wanted to say
35:35I'm sorry.
35:38What you owe me,
35:39third uncle,
35:39can't be settled
35:40with a simple apology.
35:42Then you.
35:42But you are my
35:43father's own brother
35:44after all.
35:45If you ever need help,
35:46come find me.
35:49Hai Sheng.
35:54Dad,
35:55something terrible happened!
35:59What is it now?
36:01I owe loan sharks
36:02500,000.
36:04What?
36:04How did you end up
36:05owing loan sharks?
36:07I was trying to win
36:08it all back.
36:09But I lost
36:10everything.
36:14500,000 to
36:15our family
36:16already has
36:17nothing left.
36:18Dad,
36:18please save me!
36:19They said
36:20if I don't pay up,
36:21they'll chop off
36:21my hands!
36:22You worthless fool!
36:27Brother Sheng,
36:28something's happened.
36:30Your cousin
36:30Song Xiaohu
36:31owes loan sharks.
36:32He's borrowing
36:33money everywhere.
36:33They'll chop his hands
36:34if he doesn't pay.
36:35Song Xiaohu?
36:36Yes.
36:37Your third uncle's son
36:38owes 500,000.
36:40Third uncle wronged me.
36:41But Song Xiaohu,
36:43he's just a spoiled kid.
36:44Where are they now?
36:45I heard at the old warehouse
36:47in that old warehouse.
36:48Creditors won't let him leave.
36:49Let's go have a look.
36:55Please,
36:56just give us a few more days.
36:57I swear I'll pay it back.
37:00Give him more time?
37:01How long has he owed you?
37:03Last time you said
37:04seven days.
37:04Well,
37:05seven days have passed
37:06and you haven't paid
37:07a damn cent.
37:09Before midnight tonight,
37:11if he can't pay
37:12500,000,
37:13we chop off
37:13one of his fingers first.
37:16500,000, right?
37:17I'll pay it for him.
37:19Hai Xing!
37:21Brother,
37:21who the hell are you?
37:23Big talk for a stranger.
37:24I'm his cousin.
37:26I can wire you
37:27the 500,000 right now.
37:28But I have conditions.
37:30What conditions?
37:31From now on,
37:32you leave them alone.
37:33Otherwise,
37:34I won't hesitate
37:35to show you
37:36what consequences look like.
37:37Ha!
37:38Fine!
37:38Transfer it then!
37:44Hai Xing!
37:47I...
37:47Uncle,
37:49do you know
37:50why I helped you?
37:51It's not for your sake.
37:52It's for my father.
37:53No matter what you've done,
37:54you're still his own brother.
37:56I don't want him
37:56in a tough spot.
37:57This 500,000
37:58isn't a free handout.
38:00You'll spend a lifetime
38:00repaying it.
38:01And you...
38:02Song Xiao Hu,
38:03you're 23 this year.
38:04You're not a kid anymore.
38:05This is the last time.
38:06If you gamble again,
38:07I'll pretend
38:08I never had a cousin.
38:11Let's go.
38:13Go home
38:14and live a decent life.
38:18Hai Xing.
38:19What your uncle owes you,
38:21I can never repay
38:23in this lifetime.
38:26Hai Xing.
38:29I heard you helped
38:30Song Teigen
38:31pay off 500,000.
38:33Yes.
38:34You're still
38:35too soft-hearted, kid.
38:36But it's a good thing.
38:38Uncle Zhao,
38:39what did you want
38:40to see me about?
38:42Hai Xing.
38:43I've got a big opportunity
38:44I want to discuss with you.
38:47You know the seafood market
38:48in the capital?
38:49Daily transactions there
38:50exceeds 100 million,
38:51but the suppliers
38:52are from the south.
38:53Our East Sea seafood
38:54is top quality,
38:55yet we can't break
38:55into that market.
38:56I want to partner with you
38:57to open a shop
38:57in the capital
38:58sourcing directly from you.
38:59I handle channels,
39:00you provide the goods,
39:01and we split profits
39:0250-50.
39:0350-50.
39:04Way better than 70-30.
39:05But that'll require
39:06a much larger output.
39:07I'm fine with 50-50,
39:09but I have one condition.
39:10Name it.
39:11I need funding
39:11to expand my fleet.
39:12One boat's not enough.
39:13I need at least five.
39:14No problem.
39:15I can advance you
39:16three million up front.
39:17Deal.
39:18Pleasure doing business.
39:22Honey,
39:22I heard you paid off
39:24third uncle's debt.
39:27Yeah,
39:28500,000.
39:29That's months
39:29of our income.
39:30Susu,
39:31you know what?
39:31I think that 500,000
39:33is well spent.
39:34Why?
39:35I used to hate
39:35third uncle so much
39:36my teeth ached,
39:37but now I don't anymore
39:39because I'm doing
39:39better than them.
39:40I have my boats,
39:41my business,
39:42and I have you.
39:43That's enough.
39:45Besides,
39:45helping them this time
39:46was also about
39:47putting this grudge
39:48to rest.
39:49When they got into debt
39:50back then,
39:51I was partly
39:51responsible too.
39:53Whether they do well
39:54from now on
39:54is no longer
39:55my concern,
39:56but at least
39:57my conscience
39:57is clear.
39:58You're such a good
39:59man, honey.
40:10Ching,
40:10we've got
40:11five boats now!
40:12Yeah!
40:13From now on,
40:14you're no longer
40:15a small-time
40:16independent fleet.
40:17We're a company.
40:17Brothers,
40:18today is our new
40:19fleet's maiden voyage.
40:20Lao Liu,
40:20take boat two
40:21and head north.
40:22Target the yellow croaker.
40:23Got it!
40:23Da Zhuang,
40:24take boat three
40:25and head east.
40:25There's hairtail
40:26in that area.
40:27You got it,
40:28Shang!
40:28I'll take boat one south.
40:29Golden thread fin there.
40:30Rendezvous at zone C
40:31at 6 p.m.
40:32Copy!
40:52Hi, Shang,
40:53look at this grand opening.
40:54The whole market
40:55is buzzing.
40:56Seafood from the East Sea.
40:58That's a first
40:58around here.
40:59I heard the owner
41:00is a young guy.
41:01Built his own team
41:02in his 20s.
41:03Started with 30,000
41:04to now running
41:05a shop in the capital.
41:06The journey here
41:07has been anything but easy.
41:09Mr. Song,
41:09I presume?
41:10Heard a lot about you.
41:11I'm the procurement manager
41:12at a seafood restaurant here.
41:14My boss wants to discuss
41:15a long-term deal.
41:16Sure.
41:17Song Teagan,
41:17I'm leaving.
41:18You're really leaving?
41:19If I stay,
41:21what am I going to live on?
41:22Air,
41:22when I married you,
41:23it was because you had money.
41:25And now,
41:26the house is gone,
41:27the boat is gone,
41:28and you're drowning in debt.
41:29I stuck it out with you
41:30for three months.
41:31Enough.
41:32Please give me one more chance.
41:33Song Haisheng is doing well now.
41:35He's willing to help me.
41:36You think he'd help you?
41:38Keep dreaming.
41:39You fool.
41:39You look down on Song Haisheng.
41:41You wronged his parents,
41:42and you're an absolute disgrace.
41:45The Provincial Seafood Place.
41:47You just landed
41:48another two million order.
41:52Mr. Song,
41:53someone's here to see you.
41:55Who?
41:57It's,
41:57it's your third uncle.
41:59Show him in.
42:02Song Haisheng,
42:04your third aunt left me.
42:05I know I have no right
42:07to come to you,
42:07but I've got nowhere else to turn.
42:10Can you,
42:10can you help me one more time?
42:12Third uncle,
42:13do you know why
42:14I was willing to help Xiaahu before?
42:16Because I watched that boy grow up.
42:18I didn't want him
42:18to end up a deadbeat.
42:19But what you owe me
42:20isn't money.
42:21You trampled on my dignity.
42:23Trampled on my parents' dignity.
42:24Five hundred thousand
42:25can't make up for that,
42:26but I'll give you a chance.
42:29My fleet needs someone in logistics.
42:31No need to go out to sea.
42:32Just manage cargo at the dock.
42:34Keep the books.
42:35Two thousand a month.
42:36Room and board included.
42:37Yes or no?
42:38You,
42:38you take me on?
42:39I'm not taking you on.
42:40I'm giving you a chance.
42:42If you work hard,
42:43you can still make a decent life.
42:44But if you go back to your old ways,
42:46don't blame me for cutting you off.
42:48I'll do it,
42:48I'll do it.
42:49Thank you,
42:49Haisheng.
42:50Don't thank me.
42:51Thank my father
42:52if you want to thank someone.
42:54He's the one
42:54who still valued brotherhood.
43:03Mr. Song,
43:04may I ask what inspired you
43:05to open a seafood direct supply store here?
43:08East Sea Seafood is top quality,
43:09but there's never been a way
43:10into the capital's market.
43:11My partnership with Mr. Zhao
43:13is all about changing that.
43:14We want people here
43:15to enjoy the freshest
43:16and most authentic
43:17East Sea Seafood.
