Look, you see? So adorable.

I told you that they were here.

It's so cute.

Hi, chaps.

How are you?

Everyone says you city guys

can't catch cubs.

But you did great.

You want to sell them to me?

No, no, no.

Let me see.

Excellent fur.

It's cute, isn't it?

- Mm.

Bravo.

It will sell well...

...to make stoles for foreign ladies.

May your soul fly to Tengger!

Give me the other ones.

Give it to me.

Hand me the bag.

- May your soul fly to Tengger!

Lamjav, no!

Chen Zhen.

It's for their salvation.

Tengger will grant them eternal life.

You sure you don't want to sell them

to me?

No.

Our brigade needs them

to reach our quotas.

Too bad.

Never mind.

Be careful when you skin them.

Don't rip the pelt.

Don't rip the pelt...

...or it'll be worthless.

Why didn't you stop him?

Stop him?

Then we'd have had to kill them

ourselves.

Chen Zhen,

what are you doing?

Chen Zhen!

The rope.

Chen Zhen,

are you insane?

How can I pull you out

if you don't have the rope?

I've had enough!

Stroke her. Keep stroking her.

Don't let her see the cub.

Or she will kill it.

Good.

Good Yill.

Good.

Will it work?

How would you know

if you don't even try?

Your babies are hungry.

Good Yill.

Good. Good wolf.

Yill, don't move.

Good Yill.

Good wolf.

Good.

Nurse your babies.

Yill...

...you are the best.

Look at him.

A real bandit.

Do you think this is right?

To raise a wolf in a shepherd's village?

You should have thought about that

before we brought the wolf back.

Me?

As though this whole mess

was all my idea.

Okay.

My idea.

My idea, all right?

It is too much of a risk

to keep it here.

Then what do you suggest?

We should do what the Mongols do.

Kill it and be done.

Good night...

...public enemy.

Anticipated

gale force winds coming from Siberia...

...have moved down to the south.

This cold front will bring moderate gales

and heavy snowfalls to the border area.

Shartseren, the day shift needs help!

Okay!

Hold it tight.

The white hair blizzard is coming.

Go quickly to the army horse pasture!

Don't let anything go wrong!

Give me two winter coats for the day shift.

Come here, kid!

Be a good boy.

Yes, Dad!

Be careful!

Got it!

I'm going!

Anyone there?!

Shartseren!

Where are you?!

Can anyone hear me?!

Batu!

Shartseren!

Is it you?

Are Dorj and Qaokt with you?!

What? Aren't they with you?!

- You're alone?

- Yes.

Where is the day shift?

I can't find them!

They have no rifles nor flashlights.

They might have gone back to camp.

Forget it. Let's steady the horses!

My horse

is out of control. It fears something.

We may have wolves around.

Then we need to move quickly.

Batu...

...let's gather the horses together
