Candle in the Tomb
Episode 4
- Fatty.- What?
Find something to break open this lock.
Coming.
Move out of the way.
What are these?
Japanese lunchboxes.
What are these?
- Wow! - This is good stuff.
Here, take off your bag.
Ying Zi, hold this.
Old Hu! Ying Zi! Come here.
Type 38 rifles!
They're all new and completely greased!
Don't point it at me.
You can never point your rifle at your own comrades.
Only traitors would point their gun at people on their own side.
What are you nodding for?
These lame Japanese guns can only hold five bullets. Also, it takes too long to reload.
Its backfire is also very strong. I'm not used to using these.
These Japanese guns are so useful. It's very forceful.
When my uncle was in the People's Liberation Army, he used these.
Why does Brother Hu not like these?
Don't mind him.
He's always playing around with automatic weapons in the army. He's spoiled.
He looks down on these older rifles.
I'm telling you, Ying Zi, these guns are more accurate.
Also, it has a long range.
Brother Fatty, why are you so familiar with guns?
Your Brother Fatty grew up in the army.
His father let him play with gunssince he learned how to walk.
When he was in middle school,he was already a gun expert.
Ying Zi, I'm not bluffing.
I have extremely high precision.
Horseback shooting is like kids' play. If you don't believe me,
I'll put an egg on your Brother Hu's head to show you later.
If you didn't bluff all the time, then my surname is not Hu.
I'm unwilling to use those rifles
because Type 38 rifles don't suit short-distance fighting.
Come here, come here. Look!
Look what's here!
Brother Hu, what are these? Why do they look like this?
Is this a type 11 light machine gun?[ Wai Ba Zi, lit. crooked handle - a type 11 light machine gun used during Taisho, under the reign of Emperor Yoshihito. ]
These are the Japan-made Type 100 submachine gun.
Because production rate was very low, it's very rare.
After the war, these were later equipped to fight the Soviet Army.
These guns are better than your Type 38 rifles.
Even if it malfunctions, it'll only be jammed and won't accidentally discharge.
Drop your lame gun.
Enough, Old Hu. Now that we have these,
we won't even fear 10 of those monsters.
What now? Should we go back to kill him or find another place to investigate?
Go move that box over here.
Wow!
If we had these earlier, we wouldn't have suffered so much.
Why is one missing?
It's here.
You're rather quick.
That monster is still slamming into the door.
He's getting excited.
Old Hu, give me ten minutes,and I'll blow him up.
Don't show off. Let's find an exit. Safety first.
That's right.
Ying Zi, this is only because your Brother Hu won't give me a chance.
It's not because I'm afraid. I was never scared!
Let's go.
Look, there's light up ahead.
I hope it's an exit. Let's go.
Why'd you suddenly stop?
I smell blood.
Do you guys smell it?
This is the exit that you found?
Can humans even leave from here?
This isn't an exit. It's a vent.
Why'd you push me?
I didn't push you.
Brother Hu,
what's wrong?
Before, you asked me if I saw a child, right?
You also saw it?
No,
but I think something's wrong.
You two, don't scare me.
Don't alarm them. These things are very dangerous.
It wasn't me.
Shoot!
I'm out of bullets!
Fire in bursts. You hold down the trigger. It's no wonder that you couldn't be faster!
I'm also out of bullets!
Don't waste your breath. Take Ying Zi and run!
Run, Ying Zi!
- Brother Fatty, give me the ammunition clip.- What ammunition clip?
Old Hu, hurry and come here!
The big baby is coming!
Fatty, you idiot!
Stink bomb.
Run!
- Old Hu.- You idiot!
You idiot!
- How many times did it make a sound?- What are you talking about?
If it's a grenade, call it by its name. What "big baby"?
I already told you to come over.
What time of grenade is that? It didn't make a sound.
It was out of use for too long.
What do you mean?
Why did it make a sound when I threw it, but not when you threw it? You're too unlucky.
Good thing it didn't explode. If it did, I would have died!
If you come up with more new terminology, tell me beforehand!
Brother Hu, behind you.
No, on your back.
- Look.- What's wrong?
This looks like the hand print of a child.
Impossible. He must have rubbed it on himself.
Brother Hu, didn't you say that something bumped you?
I felt like I was pushed. Also, it was strong.
Let's not scare ourselves.
What did you see?
I saw a child walk by.
What did it look like? A child, right?
I think it was a child.
Didn't you say that there's no children here?
- Oh, no. Let's go see. - Be careful.
Why is there a door here?
Did the child enter through this door?
Old Hu, did we meet the Taoist priest from Mount Lao who can travel through walls?
Flashlight.
Entry forbidden? [ Entry Forbidden. ]
What does this mean?
It means we can't enter while standing. We have to lay down to go inside. ("li" means "standing")
It must be a morgue or a cremator.
Stop with your nonsense. These four characters
probably mean "no trespassing".
Although I don't know Japanese, I understand military installations.
Look, these three should be vents.
When the iron door closes, they'll automatically remove the air inside,
and the inside will become a semi-vacuum. It's an airtight door.
Valuable items should be stored inside.
Valuable items? Would there be treasures inside?
You only care about money. Valuable items aren't necessarily treasures.
Maybe it's chemical weapons or biological weapons.
What has the highest possibility of being inside?
I didn't put the things inside; how would I know?
This is so troubling. Stop shining the flashlight, Old Hu.
Didn't we come here to find the fortress?
If there are treasures inside, it belongs to us Chinese.
The Japanese stole them from us.
As representatives of the outstanding youth of the new era,
don't we have the responsibility to bring it back?
Fatty, I know what you're thinking,
but finding an exit is the most important right now.
I agree with Brother Hu.
We didn't bring any food, and we didn't find any food in this Japanese fortress.
If we starve to the point where we can't even crawl, we'll die.
Old Hu, you're right,
but the bats are blocking us from behind.
What if there's an exit inside this room? We should at least open it to see.
Right?
That's a possibility,
but it doesn't mean there'll be an exit inside
because this secret room wasn't marked on the map.
It only said that there's an exit here, but we can try it out.
First, let's make one thing clear: you must listen to my instructions.
I've always been listening to you!
What are you doing?
Hold this.
One, two, three!

Isn't this a coffin museum?
Why are so many coffins here?
Looks like our first guess was correct.
No chemical materials are here.
This was probably a tomb that the Japanese found while digging out this fortress.
You always make the atmosphere more nervous.
- Brother Hu, I'll wait at the entrance for you. I'll guard the door, just in case we get locked in here. - Okay.
Looks like the Kwantung Army retreated in a hurry. They took all the treasures in the tomb.
Only these coffins remain.
The Japanese are so quick to take things without permission.
Old Hu, help me shine the light here.
Slowly.
All bone shards.
The Japanese are so wicked.
They only follow their policy of 'three alls'.[ Three Alls Policy (kill all, burn all, loot all), Japanese policy in China during WWII. ]
They didn't even leave a can behind for us.
There's definitely not an exit here.
Fatty, shine the light here.
Old Hu, a fish escaped from the net!
Old Hu, no matter if any treasures are inside,
we should carry this coffin out. We'll surely make money from this!
Aren't we looking for an exit?
Weren't you outside? Why'd you come back in?
I was afraid outside, too.
Old Hu, who do you think had a higher rank, the general from earlier or this?
I don't know, but the Jin, Liao and Yuan dynasties, for a few hundred years,
faced unprecedented strength from the northern nomads.
They gained their land on horseback,
so I guess they valued martial abilities over knowledge.
If you really want to know who had a higher rank, judging by the coffin,
I think the general from before had a higher position,
but he was a military man and didn't have a refined taste or interests,
so the items in his tomb were all horses and weapons, but this is not for certain.
With different interests, their grave goods will be different.
- Teacher Hu.- I'm guessing that the grave goods in here...
Teacher Hu!
I'll listen to the lecture when we go home.
If you don't deny that there are certainly no treasures inside, I must open it today.
Hey, wait.
Candle.
Brother Hu,
fire.
- Do you know where the cardinal directions are?- No.
- If you don't know...- Who cares? Light all the corners.
Ying Zi, good idea!
Hold this.
Put it there first.
Ying Zi,
shine the light.
One, two...
Go more towards the side.
One, two...
Again. One, two...
We should have guessed earlier.
How could the Japanese leave things behind for us?
We made a pointless trip.
We almost lost our lives, too.
Brother Fatty,
what's wrong with you?
Ying Zi, didn't your father tell you about the Japanese policy of three alls ("burn all, kill all, loot all”)?
When the Japanese were in China,
they burned and plundered, committing all evil deeds.
- Fatty.- What?
- Come here.- What's wrong?
Impossible.
All the others became bones. Are these two children fake?
There are spots of mercury. Highly toxic.
Was this the child that I just saw?
You're just scaring yourself.
Brother Hu,
w-why are there mercury spots on their bodies?
My grandfather told me before
that these children, when they were alive,
would pour mercury from their heads, and after they die, cover their outer bodies with mercury powder.
It's like creating a specimen. Their bodies wouldn't rot, even after thousands of years.
If you want to preserve your outer appearance,
you have to pour the mercury into a living human
because the dead no longer have any blood circulation, so the mercury irrigation cannot be circulated.
What an evil feudal society.
This is too cruel.
What's wrong, Fatty?
I feel bad inside. It feels stuffy inside.
Old Hu, let's bring these two children outside and give them a proper burial.
They've accompanied the tomb's owner for a thousand years. It's time for a rest.
I agree.
Brother Hu, they're too pitiful. They're still children,
but they have to be buried with an unrelated person.
Let's do a good deed and bury them outside.
The elders say that going back into the soil will bring them peace.
Let's hurry and find an exit.
- Ying Zi, are you scared?- No.
Where are all the bats?
I didn't raise them. How would I know?
Did they all leave through the vent?
Brother Fatty, bats are nocturnal.
Why would they go outside during day?
I didn't raise them. How would I know?
What did I step on?
Don't be afraid. Let's go.
This is the exit marked on the map.
They purposefully blew this place up, right?
Brother Hu, are you sure this is the place?
I'm sure.
Now we don't have to search for another opening. They'll all be like this one.
We can only go back and fight that red-haired monster.
Since we can't avoid him,
let's go back. If this drags on, even if we don't starve to death, we won't have energy to resist.
Don't mention hunger. It makes me even more hungry.
When we were fighting that red-haired monster, I was already thinking,
"If we can't leave today, I can't even eat a full meal before dying."
Brother Fatty, we have guns now.
After leaving, I'll ask my father to treat you to the best game.
That's so generous, little girl. I'll definitely keep you as a friend.
Fatty, I need to tell you this beforehand: our goal is to leave,
not to kill that monster. I'll distract the monster
and you two try to open that coffin cover.
- Okay.- Okay.
Old Hu, this one is good.
Brother Hu,
I think... that red-haired monster isn't slamming into the door anymore.
Hey, when did it break the door down?
Where is he right now?
How would I know?
Should I throw a grenade first to test it out?
No. If he's not there,
a grenade would lure him here.
What should we do now, then?
I think we should charge. We have guns, anyway.
Okay.
Run!
I'll blow you up!
Old Hu!
- Where's Fatty?- He was just behind us.
Looks like I can't escape today.
I definitely can't escape.
Blow up! Blow up!
This way.
- Old Hu!- Run!
Give the axe to me.
Hurry and leave.
You two, hurry and open the door.
Here.
- Hurry!- Let's go, Ying Zi!
Fatty, give your gun to me.
- Be careful!- Okay.
Brother Fatty, move out of the way.
Fatty, hurry!
I can't open it!
Where's your grenade? Blow it up!
I'm out of grenades!
There's one more.
Little girl, you must be my older sister! Hurry and move away!
I'm almost out of bullets!
- Duck!- You idiot!
What if it doesn't blow up?
- Three...- Four, five, six...
It should have blown up on three! There should not be any six!
Old Hu, the door is open!
Run!
