Killing the pups...

...will make them vengeful.

They will hit back...

...and hard.

Killing the cubs

will reduce their numbers.

Fewer wolves...

...will mean more ground squirrels

and rabbits...

...which destroy the pastures.

It's an order.

Shout if you see a live one!

This one is abandoned.

No puppy inside.

Over here!

Here is a cub.

Be careful.

So cute.

Here you are.

Bayar, look.

There is another one.

It's so cute.

Don't kill it.

The wolf puppy

belongs to Tengger.

Tengger is calling him.

We are helping him on his way.

It's all right.

Don't cry, my son.

His soul will live forever.

He will never die.

Tengger, this newborn is Yours.

Tengger, please...

...accept his soul.

I love coming here.

Sixty centuries of history under our feet.

Incredible.

What a madness.

I still don't understand.

Why did we build that Great Wall

in the first place?

For a thousand years...

...millions of Han Chinese...

...were frightened...

...by a handful of unlettered Mongols.

They ride horses.

We go on foot.

They grow on meat.

We grow on rice.

Herdsmen versus farmers.

Wolves versus sheep.

A wolf!

She dropped the lamb to run faster!

Where has it gone?

Over there!

For sure, it's a female

who's protecting her litter.

Right!

- Come out!

- Come out!

I've got an idea.

Where did you get these?

We'll smoke her out!

There is another exit!

Bravo, Yill. Good dog.

They are very lovely.

Want one?

The little female,

I'm keeping for myself.

Jealous of your friend?

I am just thinking...

...that she-wolf fooled us.

She hid her babies.

They often do this.

They lead us to an old lair

but hide their babies elsewhere.

It's not the right place.

We have to look somewhere else.

No.

She runs away this way.

Hey, hey!

What did I tell you?

- Here she comes.

- Where?

Look, she has black legs.

That's the one.

Come!

Look!

See that?

Food scraps.

See that?

And cub droppings.

Don't touch it.

Taste it.

They are inside.

Quiet.

I am going to get it.

I am going to get it.

Take this.

What?

- Leave me alone.

- Not without dogs!

The male may be inside.

You moron.

The male never stays with the cubs.

Let's come back tomorrow.

Chen Zhen.

I have to do it right now

while the she-wolf is hunting.

Tie up my foot.

Later...

...pull me out.

Give me the flashlight.

Quickly!

The crowbar!

Chen Zhen.

Don't go farther.

If the hole collapses,

there's no way for me to save you.

Chen Zhen!

Don't go farther!

Chen Zhen!

Are you okay?

Come out!

It's okay!

Chen Zhen!

Can you hear me?!

Chen Zhen!

Pull me out!

Okay! Let me pull you out!

Quickly.

Pull me out. I got them!

Be quick. Pull me out!

You're insane.
