[Prince of Wolf]
Episode 1
[1991, Wolf Mountain]
Mommy!
I'm sorry, I shouldn't have run off. Don't leave me here alone.
Mommy, Grandpa, Second Uncle, where are you?
Mommy, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have run off.
Don't leave me here alone.
Ze Ming!
- Ze Ming! - Ze Ming!
- Second Uncle's here! - Ze Ming!
- Little Master!
- Did you find Little Master? - Ze Ming!
Sister-in-law.
Did you find Ze Ming?
- Did you guys find him? - Madam.
- Could he have fallen into the river? - Yeah, would that be possible?
The river?
Dad.
Dad, what should we do?
We still can't find Ze Ming.
All right, don't panic.
He must be somewhere around here.
I thought you took him away to catch bugs.
How could you let him get lost so easily?
Dad, it's my fault.
I should have been more careful.
As soon as I turned around, Ze Ming was gone.
Sister-in-law.
Don't worry, I'll definitely find Ze Ming.
Don't be mad. Your friend's hurt.
You want me to release him for you?
Be good and stay still.
My mommy says we must clean the wound to get rid of bad germs.
I'll help make the pain go away.
Look, my mommy made it for me.
It's got my name on it. Isn't it pretty?
I'll use it to wrap up your wound to stop the bleeding.
All done!
Du Ze Ming!
It's all my fault.
I shouldn't have taken you here for camping.
Otherwise Ze Ming wouldn't have gone missing.
Dad, don't say that.
It's not your fault.
It was Ze Ming who said he wanted to go camping.
I'm sure he'll be okay.
Qi Cheng will definitely bless him from heaven.
Now that the rescue team has arrived
a lot more people are looking for him.
I'm sure we'll find Ze Ming in no time.
- Help me! - Ze Ming!
Be careful! Hold on to the rope!
- Ze Ming! - Help me...
Help!
Mr. Du, we must stop our search.
It's too dangerous.
Please explain to your father and Mrs. Du.
We'll have to go back down the mountain for now.
We'll resume our search once the sun comes up tomorrow.
What should I do?
I can't find Second Uncle and everyone else. I'm so hungry.
Chairman Du Bai Quan's only grandson, Du Ze Ming
went missing on Wolf Mountain, but heavy rain has delayed the rescue search.
One of the rescue searchers was injured when he fell down the cliff.
The injured rescuer's family was very upset about this.
I know my husband works on a rescue team.
So this is part of his job.
But they're only human after all.
They've already been searching for more than two weeks in this weather.
Mom...
Deputy Manager Du, I've got some documents for Chairman.
Leave them with me.
Anything else?
This is from the rescue team.
I think they're Little Master's belongings.
What have they found?
[Ming]
It's the handkerchief that I made for Ze Ming.
Where did they find it?
I wonder if they've found him.
There's blood on it.
Dad, do you think he's hurt?
- Did he get hurt? - Sister-in-law, calm down.
I need you to pass on a message for me.
If the rescue team decides to withdraw
we'll go and look for him ourselves.
I don't care how many people it takes or how much it costs.
We'll take care of it ourselves.
We must find Ze Ming as soon as possible.
Okay, Dad.
You may go now.
Dad.
Don't be too upset.
I'll do all I can to bring Ze Ming back home.
Don't worry.
Dad, have some water.
Qi Cheng, I'm so sorry.
I didn't take care of our child.
I hope that
you can keep him safe from up in heaven.
Ze Ming, where are you?
Can you tell me where you are?
Do you know that I really miss you?
I really miss Mommy and Grandpa.
I don't eat raw fish.
Come on, let's go back to our tent.
Mommy, I didn't go anywhere.
Why didn't you come look for me?
Papa Wolf, I want to find my mommy.
Has my mommy forgotten about me?
I want Mommy.
Papa Wolf, is my mommy going to come back for me?
Has Mommy left me for good?
Has she forgotten about me?
You want it?
I'll cook it for you when we get back.
Papa Wolf, I know a real man should be brave
and not be afraid of anything.
Make sure you stay close to Second Uncle.
But then you scared it away.
Mommy, I want to go and catch some bugs with Second Uncle.
Make sure you listen to Second Uncle and stay close to him.
Be careful.
- Careful. - Okay.
Second Uncle, let's go and catch some bugs.
Ze Ming, you know what?
I almost caught a huge bug just then.
But then you scared it away.
Okay, let's go and catch some bugs.
Say bye to Mommy.
- Be careful. - Bye, Sister-in-law.
Brown, green.
Green... wait.
I've got a stone inside my shoe.
Let me get it out first, okay?
Second Uncle, there's a butterfly.
You're trying to fool me, aren't you?
Wait for me, butterfly.
- Wait, butterfly. - Okay.
Ze Ming?
Second Uncle, where are you?
Ze Ming!
Second Uncle.
Second Uncle!
Second Uncle.
Second Uncle, where are you?
Second Uncle!
Second Uncle, wait for me!
Second Uncle.
Second Uncle, wait!
Second Uncle, wait for me!
Wait, Second Uncle!
Wait for me!
Second Uncle!
Second Uncle, why did you leave me behind?
Come on, let's see if there's anything useful at the campsite.
Let's go.
Hurry up, we must go down the mountain before it gets dark.
- Otherwise it'll be very dangerous. - All right.
Look.
During the process of global warming...
There are sounds coming from it!
You know what?
There's a sacred place for wolves in the remote mountains in Taiwan.
It's also the place where a mythical love story originated.
It's said that wolves only have one partner in their lives
until death do them part.
But there's this unbeatable wolf king
who never left after his wife died.
He just stayed by her grave every day.
After 200 years
that wolf king gradually evolved into a werewolf.
A wolf turning into a werewolf?
It sounds more like a ghost story than a love story.
Sis, your classmate's so boring.
He's your senior after all.
- Show some respect. - Just ignore this boring guy.
Finish the story for us.
So what happened after the wolf king became a werewolf?
Then the werewolf learned to shed tears just like humans do.
So whenever he thinks of his wife
he'd shed tears.
Drop by drop
he turned the place into a beautiful lake.
But he didn't want us humans to disturb him and his wife.
So he hid that lake behind clouds and fog
away from everyone.
For the past few hundred years
a lot of hikers have tried to look for the Sacred Wolf Clan.
But no one could find it.
For those who did find it, they never came back again.
Never came back again?
- What do you mean? - In other words
the wolf king must have...
eaten them alive.
Why are you so scared of a fake story?
- It's just a myth. - No, it's not fake.
Wolf Mountain's near where we live.
You can ask my sister.
Sis, Wolf Mountain's real, right?
Your sister's exaggerating.
My sister might be cheeky at times
but she never lies.
You mean there really is a Sacred Wolf Clan
and a lake filled with tears?
It also has a beautiful name.
It's called Tears of Polaris.
It signifies one's trust, persistence
and eternal faith in love.
[Photographer: Tian Mi Mi]
Hi, what are you looking at?
I'm looking at the photos that you took for my company's promotion.
After we put them on our website
I heard even our chairman was very impressed with them.
It's a photographer's honor to please our clients with our photos.
They're hosting a photography competition.
The topic is "Your Secret Hiding Place."
If you win the competition
you'll be able to work with Annie for a month.
You mean Annie Griffiths?
Your favorite female photographer.
If you win the competition, you can be her assistant
and work in Africa with her for a month.
You mean I can actually work with her?
Even if I only get to be her assistant for a month
I'll be able to learn a lot from her.
You really want to go, right?
But I'm not sure if my photos are good enough to win.
There are plenty of talented photographers in Taiwan.
Don't underestimate yourself.
Your photos are unique to yourself.
Nobody can take that away from you.
I have full confidence in you.
I'll do my best.
It's just that
it might not be very easy to find a true secret hiding place
in Taiwan.
I know just the place to go.
[Huanyu International Photography Competition]
Sis, what are you doing?
You finished your shower?
- Are Mom and Dad asleep? - Yeah.
I heard Dad snoring when I walked past their room just now.
You better blow-dry your hair or else you'll have a headache.
I'm waiting for my sister to dry my hair for me.
Zi Zi.
Do you think Wolf Mountain is really that dangerous?
Wolf Mountain itself isn't dangerous
as long as you stay away from the Sacred Wolf Clan.
Remember what happened to our neighbor Auntie Lin?
Her son went there with his friends after their high school graduation.
All his friends managed to leave the mountain
but he insisted on going to see the Sacred Wolf Clan.
Then he never came back again.
But it's just a lake.
How can a lake eat people alive?
I know a lake can't eat people alive.
But...
But what?
I'm a big bad wolf
and I'm going to eat you alive.
Stop it.
- Stop it, sit down. - Okay.
You can do it yourself.
Sis, why are you suddenly talking about Wolf Mountain?
Can't I have a casual chat with my sister?
Of course you can.
Zi Zi, I'm going away for a photo shoot tomorrow.
- Where are you going? - Taichung.
I'll be staying at my friend's place for a few days.
I'm leaving early tomorrow morning.
Can you let Mom and Dad know tomorrow?
Okay, not a problem.
I'm going to be very busy, so I might forget to call home.
If you can't get through to me on my cell phone
then it's probably because the reception's really bad over there.
Mom's been coughing quite badly recently.
Don't forget to make her some pear juice.
Make sure you tell Dad not to overwork himself at the Chinese herbal shop.
He should take a rest...
Sis, are you sure you're only going to Taichung for a few days?
How come it sounds like you're going away for a few years?
Anyway, I'll leave Mom and Dad in your capable hands.
Make sure you look after them.
- Okay? - Yes, madam.
All right, now go and dry your hair.
[Wolf Mountain Historic Trail]
Excuse me.
I want to go to this place.
Which path should I take?
Follow this path and you'll get there.
- That way? - Yeah.
Thank you.
She obviously didn't take me seriously.
It's a dead end. I should have taken the other path.
Could there really be...
It's beautiful here.
I never knew Wolf Mountain was so picturesque.
How could there possibly be werewolves here?
A naked man?
Not too loud or you'll disturb them.
How am I supposed to talk to you if you keep covering your eyes?
Do you think you can turn around for me?
Why?
Because you're not wearing any clothes.
How can I take a bath if I keep my clothes on?
But...
But what?
But...
It... hurts.
Let me help make the pain go away.
Your hair smells really nice.
It reminds me of my mommy.
What's your name?
- Mi Mi. - Mi Mi.
Mi Mi.
Mi Mi, you want to play in the water with me?
I don't think it's a good idea.
Sir, can you stop splashing water on me?
Why are you following me?
- Where are you going? - It's none of your business.
- What's this black thing? - It's a camera.
Camera? For taking photos?
Exactly.
What kind of photos?
I want to put together a myth.
Do you live around here?
Have you heard of a lake called Tears of Polaris?
I heard that the Sacred Wolf Clan lives there
and it's where a romantic love story originated.
Are you okay?
Help!
Mi Mi.
- What do you want? - I thought you were dead.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
But why did you have such a huge reaction to the Sacred Wolf Clan?
- Are you scared of wolves? - Wolves aren't scary at all.
It's just humans' misconception of wolves.
I love wolves. They're very kind.
Kind?
Are you hungry?
Wait, you're way too fast for me to keep up.
Where are you taking me?
To look for food.
They smell great.
You can distract it from the front and I'll catch it from the back.
- You've hurt your elbow. - Got it!
- Stop running around. - Look, we caught this together.
- Let's put some cream on it. - Look.
Stop running around.
Stop!
Sit down.
- Mommy, it hurts. - Show me.
I'll help make the pain go away.
I know, let's put a Band-Aid on it.
Then your wound will heal in no time
and you'll no longer feel any pain, okay?
You're such a brave boy.
Okay.
Wait.
Papa Wolf, I've brought a friend home to stay out of the rain.
Papa Wolf?
Why would he go out in such heavy rain?
Did you just call your dad "Papa Wolf?"
- That's very special. - Have a seat.
Did you decorate this place yourself
or did your family do it?
What are you doing?
Taking off my clothes. They're all wet.
You should take yours off and dry them, too.
- It's okay. - Then you'll get sick.
It's really uncomfortable being sick.
Don't take them off.
Let's just sit in front of the fire.
Sit down.
Do you have this?
My self-defense flashlight.
I can hear sounds.
Show me.
Do you know how to use it?
But your hands...
Hold it still and press this to take a photo.
Okay.
Mi Mi.
Let me teach you.
Press this to view the photos.
Press this arrow to see the previous photo.
It's the photo that I just took.
Is this your grandpa?
He's my dad. He just looks a bit mature.
Mature?
As in...
I'm a bit more mature and understanding.
Forget it.
This is my mom.
This is my younger sister, Zi Zi.
These three are the staff at our Chinese herbal shop.
They're really close to us, just like our own family.
Family?
What about you?
Do you only live with your dad here?
I don't know
what my dad looks like.
I couldn't find my mom.
Mi Mi.
My name is...
Ze Ming.
Ze Ming?
Ze Ming...
misses his mom.
Ze Ming really misses his mom!
Why didn't she come and look for me?
Why didn't she come back for me?
A hunter. Papa Wolf's in danger.
Behind you!
Help!
What are you waiting for? Help me!
Watch out, Ze Ming!
Come on, let's go.
I think I better go now.
- But it's very dark. - It's okay.
My house is not far from Wolf Mountain.
You said you wanted to take a photo of Tears of Polaris.
Don't you want to do that anymore?
- I... - Just stay.
I'll take you there.
I won't bully you.
Then I better call home.
There's no reception here.
He's my Papa Wolf.
He brought me up with Mama Wolf.
So where's Mama Wolf?
She got sick and died a long time ago.
You mean you were born on Wolf Mountain?
Then what about your birth parents?
When I was young
I chased after a butterfly.
Second Uncle left me behind and went back on his way.
I was really scared.
I couldn't find my mom, Grandpa and Second Uncle.
So how did you learn to talk?
I used this, but it always runs out of battery.
I can steal batteries from campers if I'm lucky.
Don't you want to go home?
Papa Wolf, why didn't Mommy come and take me home?
Don't you guys want to see me anymore?
This is my home.
I've almost forgotten about my mommy.
Perhaps she's also forgotten about me.
One line represents one day.
I've already lost count of the number of days.
Why don't you leave with me tomorrow?
I'll go and find your family with you.
It's okay.
I'm actually very happy here.
Papa Wolf's getting old. He needs me.
You think wolves are very vicious, right?
But he's actually much kinder than the hunter that you just saw.
I really hate humans.
They're bad people who always pick on animals.
Does that mean you don't like me either?
You're my very first human friend.
So...
can I...
be your friend?
It's okay.
Because sometimes you...
It really scares me.
So as long as I don't...
do that
would you want to be my friend?
I'll think about it.
You must be sick.
Probably from this afternoon's rain
and the fact that you scared me.
I'm sorry.
Just kidding. I probably just need a rest.
Papa Wolf, that's my little blanket.
Only you and Mama Wolf can use it.
She's burning up.
Papa Wolf, look after Mi Mi for me.
I'll go and pick some herbs for her.
Perhaps Ze Ming's the legendary werewolf.
But compared to humans
he's much gentler and kinder.
Ze Ming.
I want to be your friend.
Ze Ming, I heard that wolves
only have one partner in their lives.
It's for you.
An important gift for someone important.
Thank you.
My fever's gone.
My heart's beating very fast again.
Mi Mi, be my wolf wife.
I'll always be here to protect you.
