Hai...
I'll... I'll pay you back, Hai.
Hai...
Please, I will...
You owe me three million plus 4.5 million as interest.
Why is it so much? Hey!
Hai...
I'll pay you...
You want your money?
You want money?
I have this crippled body.
Take this instead.
Get her. Get her for me.
Get her!
Cut her.
We know each other well.
Shouldn't that make things easier?
Hurry up.
All you old bums, don't bother coming back tomorrow.
Your work isn't good at all yet you keep asking for money.
Are you too fat to walk, dude?
Hey.
Is this all of it?
I still have Bay Ro and Chin Gia. I'll get them tomorrow.
This is the fourth time this month. You still owe me.
Can you handle it?
If you can't, I'll have Ut Det take over.
Ut Det.
- Yes? - Come here.
See that?
Look at him.
I can do it.
- Never mind. Go back to the boat. - Yes, ma'am.
Damn it. Bay Thot kept promoting you.
What did he say again? What did you do in Saigon?
You took protection money at a restaurant and hustled people at a bar?
But now that you are here,
you can't even get a few bucks from a pig farmer.
Give me today's payment. I'll get the rest tomorrow.
You still want payment for your shitty work.
There. That's yours.
Take it.
Be on time tomorrow, okay?
Keep working. What are you looking at?
You prick, what are you doing?
Sell your house and pay me back.
What are you looking at?
Son of a...
This one is 30. That one looks good.
- What would you like? - I'll have the usual, Mrs. Nam.
Pork intestine again?
Mai looks so grown-up now.
That's 30,000 dongs.
What a weird person.
Let her be. That's just the way she is.
No one likes a debt collector.
Where did she come from, anyway?
She came here, gave birth, then raised her kid all by herself.
No one knows who the father is.
My goodness.
She got pregnant out of wedlock.
You won't ever see the father.
Anyway,
we're not in her shoes,
so we can't really understand. I kind of feel sorry for her.
Please, I will pay you back once I have the money.
Listen up.
Without me, you won't be able to do shit in this market.
Where's the money?
I'll pay you back once I have it.
I'll give you a day.
You'll die if you don't have it by then.
- Hey! - Hey!
- Where are you going? - Where do you think you're going?
Guys, search her bag.
Give me your bag.
- Dump everything out. - Okay.
There's nothing here.
- Beat her, guys. - Beat her up.
- Take that. - Beat her up.
- Take that. - Hit her.
- Give me the rubber band crossbow. - Beat her up.
Who do you think you are?
You bastard.
You're an illegitimate child.
- Am I right, guys? - Mai.
What are you doing? Class is over, why aren't you home yet?
What are you guys doing here?
It's the debt collector.
- The ruthless debt collector. - Gosh...
What are you going to do?
Gosh, this kid...
Are you okay, Mai?
I'm fine.
I can't believe those kids.
They're a bunch of devils!
You went to collect debts again?
No.
Your hand is injured.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
FISH FARM PLAN
The rice is burning.
Mom, the rice is burning.
It hurts!
Mom, are you okay?
Be careful.
What are you doing here?
Do your homework. I'll take care of this.
Hurry up.
All right.
Here you go.
It's your favorite.
Mom.
The pork intestine looks undercooked.
You should cook it a little longer.
Eat it.
Here you go.
Where did you buy this?
Mom.
I didn't buy it.
I cooked it.
Show-off.
Is your homework done?
You're taking the exit exam this year.
What if I haven't done my homework, can I ask you for help?
Let's eat, Mom. You haven't eaten anything today.
Hai Phuong, where are you?
You bitch!
Come out here!
Where are you?
Come out and I will break your legs!
My brother...
He just owes you money,
why did you break his leg?
I dare you to come out here!
I will fucking break you!
Where are you?
Come out here. Come out!
Where are you?
You bitch!
Come out here!
You're hiding now?
Fine.
The next time I come here,
I will burn your house down!
You bitch!
Hey.
Be brave.
Even if you're scared,
you still have to be brave.
Because fear will not help you.
It's only a feeling.
But the man who was just outside,
he's real.
So you shouldn't be scared,
okay?
Let's eat.
Wow.
Braised fish with pineapple?
Let me try some.
Pretty good.
I got the fish from An Binh Island.
Why were you there?
Did you skip school?
Mom, yesterday was Sunday.
You're never focused on your studies,
you're always out playing somewhere.
Do you want to be like me?
So how did you pay for this fish?
Ms. Sau Luc gave me some.
She said you helped her a few times.
Her house was almost empty.
There was nothing for me to distrain.
You should keep it since she gave it to you.
Mom.
She told me to come to her raft.
To weave.
Weave what?
She wants me to fix her fishnet.
Also...
if we invest about two million dongs in buying fish eggs,
she will build a fish cage for us.
Using her raft,
we can make an easy profit of up to four million dongs.
Stop it, little girl.
Do me a favor and focus on your studies.
Stop talking about weaving.
Did she put a spell on you?
But I'm sick of studying.
They always hit me and swear at me in class.
"You bastard."
"Daughter of the debt collector."
My ears got worn out from hearing those too often.
Mom, let's work in a fish farm.
I don't need to go to school.
I'll help you.
I don't mind working hard.
As long as you stop being a mercenary and collecting debts,
I can endure anything.
Can't you see yourself?
How many days do you think you would last?
Why do you care about what I do?
I'll do it as long as I can support you.
I don't want to depend on debt collecting.
Remember to brush your teeth before you go to bed!
Hai.
You should go to the doctor before it's too late.
Or else you will have to abort that.
Those scumbags out there, they're only afraid of you, Hai Phuong.
Cheers!
Sau Banh.
The rule here is, if you're game, you can stick around.
But if you can't play fair, get lost!
Remember my face, Hai Phuong.
What are you doing? Let me go.
Let me go.
- It's nothing, guys. Just keep going. - Let me go.
Hey, start spinning.
Every sacrifice is painful.
The reason behind that sacrifice is what matters.
CAN THO
You tried really hard to get this, didn't you?
You can pawn it for a million, the monthly interest is 350,000 dongs.
Thank you, sir.
I need two million.
Go to Saigon, then.
How the hell can you get two million for these?
I may be old, but I'm not stupid.
What's the use of negotiating when you can't even redeem these?
I need two million for Mai to start a fish farm.
Let me think about it.
This gem has the lowest quality, you know?
And the smaller ones, how are they useful to me?
- To grind into rice-- - Mom!
Everyone, look. There's a thief!
Hey, what are you doing?
She's just a kid.
She's a thief.
Here, look.
Here's the proof. What can you say for yourself?
Mai, where did you get the wallet?
I picked it up from the ground.
You picked it up?
How convenient!
- Yes. She's still denying it. - It's mine.
- Gosh. - There. You see?
Gosh. Lucky me, everything is still here.
You're just a kid and you're already stealing?
Is this what your teacher taught you?
You see?
Mai. Tell me.
Did you steal it?
No, I picked it up from the ground.
You have to trust me.
You see, guys? Don't ever feel sorry for these hustlers.
Hey.
Check her pocket to see if there's more.
- Give it back to Mrs. Nam. - Yes.
You'd better teach your kid.
Or else we'll call the police.
Yes, that's right.
What kind of mother are you?
If it were me, I'd call the police.
Let's take her to the police.
She's so stubborn.
She won't even admit it.
Who knew this cute-looking girl was such a spoiled kid?
Mai, show me your pocket.
No,
I didn't steal it.
Why do you trust these strangers and not me?
I hate you!
Mai!
- Mai. - The kid even talks back to her mom.
Check if she took anything.
She interrupted our business.
Are you dumb?
I brought that wallet to buy some booze.
I happened to drop it on the ground. Mai picked it up for me.
I haven't had the chance to say anything.
- You-- - You're so drunk. Let's go home.
I'm not drunk.
She made us falsely accuse that kid.
So, what now? My last offer is 1.5 million, okay?
I'm really doing you a favor here. You're my first customer today.
Honestly, I would never give this price to anyone else.
It's hard to do business in this market.
I'll write you a receipt.
Hey, kid.
- I'm not pawning it. - What?
My goodness. Maybe I should just move to Saigon.
Mai!
- Let go! I don't want to go. - Mai!
What's happening?
I don't care what you give me.
Let me go.
I don't want to go!
Mai!
- I know your parents. - Let me go.
Mai!
Stop!
- Mom! - Let's go.
Let's go.
Mai!
- Get them! - Stop!
Mai.
Stop that boat.
Stop!
Mom!
A robber!
There's a robber!
Stop!
Give me back my child!
Stop!
Give me back my child!
Stop!
- Mom! - Get off me!
Mom!
I'm sorry.
- Cheers! - Cheers!
Where did she come from?
Which way to the river?
That way.
Thank you.
Sorry.
Mai!
Stop, you bitch!
Where are they taking my kid?
Tell me!
Sir, did you see two men with a little girl in a green shirt?
I don't know.
Ma'am, did you see two men with a little girl in a green shirt?
No, I haven't seen them.
Mai, where are you?
Ma'am, did you see two men with a little girl in a green shirt?
Mai!
Mai. Stop!
Stop!
Stop the car!
Stop!
How frightening.
Ma'am, they have taken my child.
Do you know where that bus is going?
I'm not sure, but all the buses here are headed to Saigon.
Just like that bus, their route is from here to Saigon.
Yes, that's right.
You should ask them.
Mister!
Is this bus heading to Saigon?
We're heading to Ca Mau, lady.
Wait!
Stop!
You want to die, lady? Go do it somewhere else.
No.
Are you heading to Saigon?
Can I get a ride to Saigon?
This truck is for deliveries, not for passengers.
- No. Mister, please. - Go away.
Mister!
Please!
She's so stubborn.
And tricky, too.
Never mind her.
Mom, let's work in a fish farm.
I'll help you.
I don't mind working hard.
I'm sick of studying.
They always hit me and swear at me in class.
Who do you think you are?
You bastard.
You're an illegitimate child.
My ears got worn out...
- You'd better teach your kid. - I didn't steal it.
Why do you trust these strangers and not me?
I don't want to depend on debt collecting.
I hate you!
SAIGON
We are in Saigon now.
Thank you.
Boss, Hai Phuong came to see you.
Hai?
Gosh. Where the hell did you crawl out of?
Mai was kidnapped.
Get Hung Lua to ask around--
Hung Lua, your brother, was imprisoned ages ago.
Drink up.
It has been a decade, Hai.
I'm not your bitch anymore.
A kidnapping?
Go to the police and report it.
Did you drink too much dirty water and forget all the rules?
Also, I'm the boss now.
I have to take care of my people as well.
Help me just this once.
- I'll leave once it's settled. - Listen.
Nam Ro Gang has now taken over the bridge area.
The Ton Dan area belongs to Thanh Wolf now.
Thanh Wolf?
Who is she?
She has only been here for about six years.
It's said she has connections with the big shots
in Cambodia and China.
She began moving up the ranks the moment she got here.
She even threatened Nam Ro.
Do you know why she's called "Thanh Wolf"?
She's both fierce
and smart.
You should just calm your nerves.
Otherwise, you'd involve me in this mess.
POLICE STATION
Born on November 30, 2008,
in Chau Thanh A, Hoa An Town, Cau Ke District, Vinh Long Province.
Slow down.
Le Huynh Thi Mai.
Carry on.
Born on November 30, 2008, in...
Hey, slow down.
If I get this wrong, the police might get the wrong person. That'd be dangerous.
But the more time passes, the more danger my child's life will be in.
- Do you understand? - You need to remain calm.
I have to write this clearly
so that Mr. Luong can look into it.
Listen.
Don't worry. Mr. Luong has had a lot of achievements.
You probably remember
the Saigon-Hai Phuong drug case in 2009?
My boss, Mr. Luong, solved that case on his own.
After graduating, he immediately volunteered to be an investigator.
A few years later, he solved several cases
and became the lead investigator.
Not to mention the smaller cases,
such as murders and robberies.
He can close any case.
So please, rest assured that we will find your kid,
Le Huynh Thi Mai,
very soon.
Do you have anything for a stomachache?
No.
Are you really in pain?
Let me get some for you.
Thank you.
Stay right here.

PENDING SURVEILLANCE
SUSPECT CASE FILES
This case involves the whole operation.
They are very smart and organized.
Give me more time, boss.
If we catch the rats now, we might wake the sleeping dog, right?
I understand.
We need to stop the entire gang so that the people can rest assured.
I will follow this closely
and report to you as soon as possible.
Don't worry.
Hello, boss.
A girl was kidnapped in Tra Vinh.
Her mother is in the waiting room.
The girl's age
is the same as the other victims.
The mother looks really stressed out.
Have you eaten yet? I can order some food for you.
What?
She was right here.
Where is she?
Tell me everything she told you.
Yes, sir.
PERSONAL INFORMATION
Mai.
What's wrong with you?
I'm sorry.
Is anyone home?
Open the door.
- Is anyone home? - Hang on.
Who are you looking for?
I'm looking for Mr. Nguyen Chanh Truc.
It's urgent.
He hasn't been here in a while.
Go away.
Hey. What are you doing?
I told you, he doesn't live here.
Please go somewhere else.
No, I need to talk to him urgently.
Tell him to come out.
What are you doing?
My daughter was kidnapped.
- I want to know where they're taking her. - I don't know.
Truc, where are you? Come out.
He's not home. You should go.
- I'll call the police. - Let me ask him, I'll leave right away.
I don't know. Go away.
Mom, go upstairs. I'll handle this.
Truc, why did you come down here?
Go back upstairs.
Go away.
Who are you? What do you want?
Who are they?
Where did they take my daughter?
It's none of my business.
Only you would know where she is.
Tell me.
My son doesn't know anything. Please leave. I'm begging you.
Go away. My son is all clean now.
Why can't any of you trust him? Go away.
Truc. Get out of my way.
Mom!
Gosh. Truc.
Stop.
Stop!
Truc.
Where's my child?
Just leave me in peace.
My goodness, Truc!
I'm begging you, Truc. You're going to kill her.
Stop.
Truc.
Mom...
Tell me!
Where's my daughter?
Truc.
Just say it.
Truc, tell her. Just tell her.
How can I survive if something happens to you?
I'm begging you.
My son.
I'm begging you, ma'am.
Please, I beg you.
You only have a few hours left.
There are operating rooms in the trucks.
Once they reach the train yard, you'll never see the kids again.
In the Ton Dan area,
there's a five-liter plastic box by the light, in front of a grocery store.
I don't know which of the six trains are leaving tonight,
but they must gather at Song Than at 2 a.m.
Then they'll switch to trucks and move to Quy Nhon Port.
Hey, watch where you're going.
Are you buying anything?
I'm buying a drink.
It's 10,000 dongs.
It seems that we must come at this hour just to see you.
What do you want again?
Isn't this torque too much for a Honda Wave?
You know your shit.
It used to be a war machine, but not anymore.
What about these?
Those belong to the Suzuki Sport.
So where's your Suzuki Sport now?
Luong, have you ever heard of the tiger hunting story?
In the Xom Cui area, there was a guy who hunted tigers in U Minh Forest.
He told a lot of interesting stories.
Usually, they only go for the male tigers and avoid the female ones,
especially the ones guarding their cubs.
When the cubs are hungry, the tigresses can get very aggressive.
They will risk everything to get food.
Sometimes, the hunters track them down and find their lair.
They can easily take all the cubs.
But the hunters also know not to put their hands on them.
Do you know why?
Never touch a tigress that's guarding her cubs.
She will never forget that for the rest of her life.
She will track them down...
only to kill the damn hunters who took her cubs.
A kid was abducted in Tan Phu District, Ho Chi Minh City.
The victim was a five-year-old girl who was playing in front of her house.
The online community was recently stirred by the photos and videos of the scenes...
I know your Honda Wave still works just fine.
Maybe it's better to keep it as it is.
Let's go.
What is all of this?
Checkmate!
Hey.
Where are you going?
Go away.
Hey, stop.
Where are you going?
Mom. Help me!
Mom.
No!
Boss, we'll have thirty kids, including these eight.
This batch is huge.
But I'm afraid the cops...
Stick to the plan.
Arrive at the railroad switch on time.
But...
Clean this up. The kids are pissing all over the place.
Damn, there they go again.
Where's my daughter?
Mai!
Mai?
Take me. Let my daughter go.
Everything is according to schedule.
Two in the morning.
Train number VNR 053171.
Meet me there.
You have to learn martial arts to protect yourself.
Hey, turn to this side. Look at me.
Do not blink, remember? Punch hard.
Stand up.
No one will help you in life.
Stand up.
I'll be the spring to Mom
- I'll be the sunlight to Dad - You dance very well.
Clap your hands now.
I learn new things at school
Mai.
Nurse.
How long have I been out?
Just rest. You have to wait until I finish these 800 forms.
I'll answer whatever questions you ask as long as you don't die.
Please tell me, how long have I been out?
- One or two months. - What?
No. One or two hours.
I can't keep lying here.
I have to go now.
Just stay put. You can't go yet.
Nurse.
I have to go now, please.
What are you doing? Hey.
You don't understand.
- I have to go now. - Calm down.
Calm down.
Let me call the doctor.
Just stay right there.
Mr. Luong.
She's awake...
So handsome yet so cold.
How unfortunate.
Why is it so hard for me to find you?
Two times already.
Le Minh Luong.
You're the one behind my daughter's abduction?
And you...
Are you the one who burned down Ngoc Bich's Club eight years ago?
Ten years.
You weren't a cop yet, right?
You're wrong.
I was the one who signed your release forms.
What do you want, then?
Why are you keeping me here?
You have messed things up enough.
Stay here.
Let the police solve this case.
Messed things up?
Don't you understand? They kidnapped my daughter.
I have to save her. You don't have the right to hold me here.
My responsibility is to keep you and the others safe.
And we suspect that you are causing trouble for the authorities.
And you have a lot of questions to answer.
Causing trouble?
Thanh Wolf, Sau Theo, and that whole gang
are imprisoning a lot of kids, including my daughter!
Can't you understand? Can't you see?
We're still investigating.
But there's no sign that your daughter was kidnapped.
What do you mean?
You came to Truc's house.
You attacked him.
And then you asked for an address.
You were drowning out there when we found you.
You have to go there and see for yourself.
I saw the kids and I saw Mai.
Do you understand?
We went there,
but there was nothing in that house.
No kidnappers.
No kids.
No.
I have to go now.
I can't be here. I have to go.
Listen.
The kids are safe.
I know you are worried,
but we are trying our best to help you.
You should stay here.
So that the police can get more information for the investigation.
Please, I can't stay here any longer.
Stay right there.
Yes, boss?
Just lie down.
Calm down, okay? Don't go anywhere.
Lie down.
Slowly.
Can't you see?
You messed it all up.
MEDICAL STAFF NURSE
Your name is Trang, right?
Did they tell you
why I almost died
and why I got admitted here?
Explain it to the police.
You must have overheard what I said just now.
They have my child.
And they will cut her open...
They will take her organs out and sell them.
I don't even know if she's still alive.
Do you have a daughter?
No. My kids are all boys.
Your kids must be so happy...
to have a mom...
who works hard,
who loves them
and takes good care of them.
Unlike me.
I'm a bad mother.
I even failed to protect her,
that's why she got kidnapped.
Okay.
Do you watch American movies?
On the ground, close your eyes!
- Don't be scared. - Freeze!
Don't move. Freeze. Don't move.
- Freeze! - Don't move.
Don't move.
Phuong, calm down. Every problem has a solution.
What do you want now?
What do you want?
I want to rescue you.
Who asked you to? Lie down.
Lie down!
Everyone, please cooperate.
If I succeed, we'll have an amazing memory like in the movies, okay?
Freeze!
- Why are there so many cops? - Freeze!
- Why are there so many cops? - I don't know.
- What now? - What?
It's not how I imagined it.
What now?
- I'm going back in. - Stop.
- Freeze! - Step back!
Help! Please help!
Don't touch me.
Help me.
Tell my sons...
Let her go.
Move!
Thank you.
Good luck.
Brother.
CERTIFICATE OF MASTER VOVINAM
CERTIFICATE OF MERIT
You're always hanging out with those punks.
You're being rude and disrespectful to your own family?
From now on, you are not allowed to see him anymore.
- You hear me? - Do you want to control even my love life?
I can love whoever I want!
I will take responsibility.
How dare you talk to your father that way?
Phuong!
I guess
the train might have left already.
Can you call Uncle Tam for help?
If I'm not wrong, he used to work for the railroad company.
Uncle Tam?
He died last year.
You weren't even here when Mom and Dad passed away.
Brother.
Mai is everything to me.
I'm at a dead end now. That's why I'm here.
This may be good for her.
She can be adopted by someone better than you.
You don't even know who the father is, right?
Someone kidnapped your niece,
and they're going to cut her open.
Aren't you bothered by that?
Can't you consider your baby and do a good deed?
Shut up!
Let me tell you.
You refused this decent family.
You left and became a gangster.
Did you dare to come back and beg for help when Dad was alive?
Mai was kidnapped because of you.
An ungrateful person like you should just die.
Hell was made for people like you.
Yes.
I'm such an ungrateful person.
That's right. So what?
I ran away.
I didn't listen to Mom and Dad.
When they died, I didn't have the courage to come home.
I'm a ghetto gangster
who got pregnant out of wedlock.
A bad mother.
A shameless mother who came to you asking for help.
Mothers like me should just die. You'd wish for that, wouldn't you?
Yes.
I was wrong.
Every night, before I close my eyes,
I regret
everything I have done.
Even the fact that I was born.
But I'm telling you,
giving birth to Mai and becoming her mother...
was the only right thing that I have ever done.
I will bring her back,
no matter what it takes.
Even if I have to die for it,
I will destroy that gang.
Just wait and see!
Mai, I'm sorry.
I have been investigating this case for three years.
It's an international operation
trailing from the Hai Van Pass to Ca Mau.
They ship from Quy Nhon,
or sometimes Cam Ranh,
Da Nang, all over the place.
After that, they go straight to Laos, then to other countries.
We have agents in every province along the trail.
If you know them so well,
why haven't you caught them yet?
It's not that easy.
We need sufficient evidence to eliminate the whole operation.
We'll need more than just a few coolers containing organs
or a couple of child abductions.
They are not connected to each other.
So they are not sufficient.
Not to mention we'd wake the sleeping dog.
Why are you following me, then?
Because I know
the train has left Saigon Station about ten minutes ago.
We are in Binh Trieu.
If you take a motorbike taxi to No.1 Nguyen Thong Street,
it would take about 45 minutes.
They are like an octopus.
If we chop one tentacle off, it will just grow another one.
There are parents who had to go through this twice.
But now is our chance to chop all the tentacles off.
And you're the only one who knows the number of the train.
You have nothing to lose now, right?
SONG THAN STATION
To all passengers, the train SE5 has just arrived at Song Than Station.
Please check your personal belongings before leaving the train.
The train doors will open on the left.
Please enter the station as instructed by the operators. Thank you.
Train number VNR 053171.
Wait.
Calm down.
What are you doing?
You can't just do things at will.
That's my child on the train.
She's everything to me.
I live for her. I can't lose her. Do you understand?
I do, but that's too dangerous.
Let me call for reinforcements.
Reinforcements?
I need to get on that train.
If you want to stop me now, you have to shoot me.
If not, get out of my way.
You have a five?
Is that all you have?
What's that?
Guys.
Go and check it out.
You go.
Damn. I had a good hand.
You lazy bums.
Who the heck is out there?
Hai Phuong.
Hai Phuong, you bitch.
Remember my face, Hai Phuong.
Rom, there's one more kilometer.
Get into position.
Yes, boss.
Are you guys there?
Yes. I have arrived.
Only 800 meters left.
Get ready.
Boss, I'm at the switch now. Everyone, get ready.
Rom, get ready. Just 500 meters left.
Did you hear me?
Rom. Where are you?
Rom.
Rom!
Coi.
Go to the switch and see how Rom is doing.
Okay, boss.
It's you again?
You're a stubborn one, aren't you?
Let's see how long you can take it this time.
Boss, the train is approaching the switch. We're waiting for your order.
Switch it.
All right, switch it now.
The client is here.
Prepare the shipment.
You must endure the pain
and stand up on your own every time you fall.
Is it for your daughter?
She can't use it anymore.
You have done quite well by making it this far.
But you have come to the wrong place.
Get up.
That's good.
There will always be a reward
for those who overcome their fear.
I might have come to the wrong place,
but you have taken the wrong kid.
Mai.
- Mom. - Mai.
Mom.
- Mai. - Help me, Mom.
Mom.
Mai.
- Mai. - Mom.
Mom...
Are you okay?
I'm okay.
I was afraid I would never see you again.
I was afraid that you wouldn't make it in time.
I had to make it in time...
to tell you...
that I love you so much. Do you know that, Mai?
Mom...
I didn't steal the wallet.
Do you believe me, Mom?
I do.
I believe you.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
It's my fault. This is all my fault.
Mom.
I'm sorry, Mom.
You told me not to be scared.
You told me to be brave,
that fear is just a feeling.
But I was still scared.
I'm not brave, right, Mom?
No.
Mai, no.
You are very brave.
You were right.
You have to be scared. You have to be.
Because only by overcoming the fear
can you become brave. Do you understand?
And you did it.
I told Ngoc the same thing,
but she was still so scared.
Why don't you bring her home, Mom?
And the others, too.
Everyone is afraid.
Who?
Who are you talking about?
Team One, stay here and keep things under control.
- The rest, follow me. - Roger that.
This is for my brave daughter.
Wait for me.
Mom.
Boss.
Boss?
Drop the gun.
Block the whole area.
Check the rest of the carriages.
Mom.
Mom!
Mom, wake up.
Don't leave me.
Mom, wake up.
Please wake up.
Don't die, don't leave me alone.
Mom.
Don't leave me.
Mom, wake up.
Mom.
Mom, please wake up. Stay with me.
I promise...
I promise I'll be brave.
Please don't die, Mom.
Wake up and stay with me.
NEWS
After years of investigating,
the police have successfully eliminated
the biggest child trafficking operation in Southern Vietnam.
At the scene, police have rescued more than 20 children
and captured 12 suspects
by raiding the gang that kidnapped children and smuggled their organs.
This was an extremely difficult case.
The criminals were highly organized and devious.
They even have a global reach.
We were so determined.
We finally solved the case
and brought the children back to their families safely.
In this victory, there's this heroine who must not be taken for granted,
Ms. Le Huynh Ngoc Phuong.
Despite having her child taken away, Phuong stayed brave and wise
to track down the kidnappers.
She cooperated with the police
- That's my mom. - and engaged the criminals directly.
Here, for you.
Thank you.
Let's go home, son.
Yes, Mom.
I see. Thank you, Doctor.
Mai, slow down.
Mom.
"I, Dinh Bao, want to give this to you, Ms. Hai Phuong.
I wish for your quick recovery.
I wish you and Mai will always be happy."
Isn't it nice, Mom?
Mom.
Do you feel better?
Mom, can you teach me how to fight?
I want to be a heroine like you.
I'll defeat all those bad guys, so they won't kidnap children anymore.
Is that okay?
You can learn how to fight.
But you must endure the pain.
And you must
never give up.
