...are dropped.

The authorities regret...

...the heavy losses your brigade suffered.

Batu's...

...work points...

...will be transferred to his widow.

And as head of production,

I entrust Bilig...

...with taking over...

...Batu's duties.

But I won't tolerate any more mistakes.

All charges against

Batu's assistant, Shartseren...

...are dropped as well.

Set him free!

Chen Zhen.

Do it now.

What?

Free your wolf cub.

I can't free him right now.

He has the smell of man now.

The pack may kill him.

Chen Zhen.

What's this?

Open it.

A wolf cub?

Chen Zhen! What's this?

I confess.

I'm raising it.

This is just an experiment.

Chairman Mao says:

"Study your enemy to defeat him. "

So I thought we should observe wolves

more closely.

I say, no!

We could protect our herds...

...by mating him with our dogs.

That can't work!

At university...

...I taught the improvement of species.

That is my goal!

Bullshit!

Ha-ha-ha. Chen Zhen.

Your idea is good.

You have my approval.

Director Bao...

...the wolves are all over the place.

They heard the cub

and will come for it!

Good! Let them come.

Your wolf cub...

...will lure them.

Did you hear me?

Leave it alone.

Get back!

Go away!

This is madness.

Lamjav!

Take him away!

Okay, okay.

Back!

Hurry, get back.

Hurry up!

Got it!

Brothers, this is Tengger's will.

Wolves won't come tonight.

Brothers, let's go.

Let's go.

The little wolf

doesn't speak the pack's language.

Waste of our time. Let's go.

They won't attack for a puppy

they are not sure about.

Bayar.

Bayar!

Come here.

Are you mad?

Let's go.

A'ba.

Please forgive me.

You captured a god

to turn it into a slave.

What you are doing is an affront

to our ancestors and to Tengger!

You will pay one day.

And so will this old man!

A'ba.

Don't call me that.

I was wrong.

You're right.

I offended you and the Mongols.

Tell me how you want me...

...to dispose of this poor little wolf.

Look.

That's the border.

This is the last piece

of Chinese grassland...

...that has not been plowed.

The last untouched lake.

As soon as the lambs are strong enough

to make the trip...

...we will set up our summer camp here.

You say I treat my wolf as a slave.

In fact, I am the one who is his servant.

I wait on him

like I would a Mongol Prince.

I give him my ration of meat.

I can't sleep well at night.

I worry about him being cold or sick...

...or bitten by dogs

or carried away by an eagle.

Yang Ke says I am the wolf's slave.

Wolves want the dignity

to earn their own meat.

They don't want to be fed.

They want to kill

at the risk of being killed.

They are warriors.

What sort of warrior will he be...
