Excuse me. Thanks!
MAN 3: Don't lose them!
MAN 4: Who's in charge here?
These guys suck!
Gosh!
Looks like the captain is only as good as his men!
Who's your captain?
I am!
Do your higher-ups think a countryside brigade
is only good enough for rejects like your lot?
Come on, hit me.
Let it go.
Get those pigs. Go on.

[GROUP CHUCKLES]
What the hell are you laughing at?
Like none of you ever fell before?
Captain.
Zheng Zhi. Your discharge is coming up, right?
Yes, captain. Three more months.
So that's why you're so casual now, are you?
-No, captain. -Come here!
One hundred push-ups.
Ready!
Start!
Zheng Zhi.
Everyone's doing it with you.
For every push-up you miss,
everyone gets 10 more.
This is your fault!
Blame my mother!
She forced me to join the military.
I wanted to be in Special Forces,
but they put me in the Fire Brigade!
-Just shut up. -Do your push-ups, man.
[CHUCKLES]
Honey.
Have some food before you go.
Dad.
[MA'S FATHER IMITATING BABY COOS]
Dad, don't smoke in front of the baby.
[BABY TOY WHISTLES]
If Jiang Liwei hadn't left,
you think you would've been promoted? Oh, oh, oh.
Are you disappointed I'm captain now?
Look over here.
No matter what I've accomplished, you've never spared me a compliment.
Look here.
Over here.
Sorry for disappointing you.
-Let me. -I think he's hungry.
Come, don't cry.
[♪♪♪]
[IN ENGLISH] Is the valve broken again?
Tell them to change to another one.
[IN ENGLISH] Should I tell the Chinese?
Don't talk to the Chinese.
We'd lose a lot of time.
Danger! Restricted Areas. No Unauthorized Entry.
MAN 1: We're good.
MAN 2: Make sure you put in the right amount of desulfurizer.
It removes the vulcanizing agent in the crude oil,
helps it move through the pipes quicker.
If you get the wrong amount, the oil will explode.
JIANG: Sir!
-Sit down. -Yes, sir.
I have the results from your psych evaluation.
According to the doctor,
you should retire from the force.
You're unfit to be a firefighter.
Ten years ago,
when I was still in the Squadron,
an old lady protesting for back pay
jumped off a crane,
right in front of my eyes.
After that, whenever I see a crane,
my heart sinks.
Later on, I learned what I had was...
post-traumatic stress disorder.
What's wrong?
-Hm? -I'm fine.
This is the first time you've come to the school.
Look at your son.
He looks like he's celebrating Chinese New Year.
When other people celebrate holidays, firefighters stay on duty.
Go be with him.
Go on.
Off you go.
BOY: Go for it! Go for it!
This is my dad! He's awesome!
He's a firefighter. Captain of a big team.
Your father isn't awesome.
-He got someone killed. -He never got anyone killed.
My dad said so!
Other classmates know too!
But the teacher won't let us say it.
-Your father got someone killed. -My dad has never gotten anyone killed!
-Never! -What do you think you're doing?!
-Don't you touch my son again! -Miao Miao!
BOY: Let go of my dad! Let him go! -Liwei! Liwei! Stop!
Calm down!
MAN 1: Let him go! -Let him go, Liwei.
-Stay calm. MAN 2: What the hell is wrong with you?!
Dad, did you really get someone killed?
Jiang Miao!
Tell me the truth, Dad!
Did you really get someone killed?
[♪♪♪]
[IN ENGLISH] Captain! The tank is empty.
Don't you know that tank Z is full or only half? Damn it.
I think that we should report this.
Sir, take a look at this!
Something's wrong!
Grandma!
Get to the hospital!
Attention!
Fire at A01!
-[ALARM WAILING] MAN: Dongshan Brigade, prepare to head out.
Hurry up!
Let's move out!
Let's go!
[CELL PHONE RINGING]
Hello?
I'm on my way.
MAN 1: Special Brigade Squadron One, get ready to move out.
The fire is at Bingang Oil Depot.
Send out one command unit, one foam tender and four water tenders.
[SIRENS WAILING]
MAN 2: According to reports on the scene, there were explosions at the oil tank area.
We've been told that there are over 20 oil tanks in the depot.
The largest one is 100,000 cubic meters.
MA: Come in, all trucks. We've received an order from Dispatch.
There is a fire at the oil depot.
I want everyone in full protective gear. Be careful out there.
MAN 3: We have mobilized the first wave of defense.
Fifteen squadrons from the city are mobilized. Additional reinforcements will be called in if needed.
PHOTOGRAPHER: Smile into the camera.
Relax. Good.
Miss! Miss!
-You can't leave with the dress! -I'll pay you back.
-Ah! -Be careful.
Careful with me or the dress?
-Wang Lu. -Hurry up!
MAN: Crap, the oil tanks have exploded!
We have to get home.
Major explosion at the Bingang Oil Depot
Hi. This is Fire Inspector Wang Lu.
Ask the port manager to wait for me. I'm on my way.
"We'll take it one step at a time."
What the hell does that mean?
I asked you about our future.
-What do you mean, "one step at a time"? -I mean, we'll wait and see.
-Xu Xiaobin! -Yes, ma'am!
I'm listening, ma'am!
Go to hell!
This is Jiang Liwei of Dongshan Squadron. Please report on the scene of the fire.
Hurry!
WU: Listen up, everyone. We're on the scene now.
Put on your protective gear.
Have two trucks ready to pump, get four hoses.
Two water, two foam.

COMMAND CENTER
[♪♪♪]
-How are we doing with the remote water supply? -One second.
The remote water supply is in position.
MAN 1: Fenglin Squadron!
ALL: Go!
Move!
-On the double! -Come on!
Hurry up!
Come on! Hurry!
-Get those hoses laid down! MAN 2:Yes, sir!
Move it!
MAN 3: Move it! MAN 4: Move it!
MAN 3: Move it! MAN 5: Hurry!
Follow me!
MAN 6: This way.
-Truck one, activate remote water supply. Right now! -Roger that.
MAN: Command, come in.
Remote water supply is in place. All functions normal at the moment.
Hurry!
There was an explosion in the pipe under Tank A01,
causing crude oil to spill.
The fire dike has collapsed, and the uneven terrain has caused a spill fire.
Command is ordering you all to contain the spill as quickly as possible
and put out the fire.
We're dividing the scene into four battle zones: East, West, South, and North.
The Assistant Chief and I will take full command.
The Chief of Staff and three Deputy Chiefs will each be in charge of one zone.
All squadrons on the front line will be led by the commander of each zone.
Make adjustments if you're understaffed.
Ensure sufficient foam and water supply.
The Fire Prevention Department is gathering intel.
If there's any problem on the scene, report to Command immediately!
ALL: Yes, sir!
Li Hong'en, General Manager of the Port.
Do you have anything to add?
No, sir.
What I'm worried about right now...
is Tank A01, which is the closest to the fire.
It is quiet now,
but the fire has been heating it up all this time.
That tank is 100,000 cubic meters in volume, 80 meters in diameter and 20 meters tall.
No one knows what it's capable of.
But right now, we need to let it know
what we're capable of!
ALL: Yes, sir!
Special Squadron, move in!
ALL: Yes, sir!
MAN 1: Attack here!
Go!
Move in!
MAN 2: Over here!
Move in!
Here!
MAN 4: Get in there!
Keep going! This way!
The spill fire is under control. The area of the fire is getting smaller.
Good.
WANG: Fire shooting out of Tank A01.
The staircase on the tank has collapsed. The emergency water pump in the tank is damaged.
All strike teams!
Get the three-section ladders and foam hooks ready. Put out the fire on top of the tank.
MAN 1: Ladders are set.
Ready to extend.
MAN 2: Hooks up!
They're close enough.
All battle zones, on my signal.
Go!
[CREAKING]
MAN 1: Strike team one in position.
MAN 2: Team two, stand by!
MAN 3: Pull again!
It's going to explode.
Run!
Fall back! Fall back now! It's going to explode.
Listen to me! Get out of here! Get out of here!
Go! Stop climbing!
Listen to me, the tank is going to explode. We need to retreat!
You may be afraid, but I'm not!
Get these men out of here!
-I'm not going to be a coward. -Trust me on this.
Let it go!
MAN: Whoa! That's scary!
[MEN SCREAMING]
Get everyone out! Help the injured!
Help the injured!
The fire! The fire's coming, run!
Fall back!
Get everyone out!
All units, enact defense procedures!
Get the injured out.
Retreat! Run!
Get back!
DOCTOR: Hurry up!
Be careful!
NURSE 1: There are severe burns on the face.
We have to treat them immediately.
NURSE 2: Get me gauze and salt water. -Don't touch it.
Don't move, you'll be fine.
I don't even have a girlfriend yet.
-You'll have one, don't worry. -Come with me right now.
All the other squadrons are heroes.
Look at him.
He's a hero.
And him.
He's a hero too.
But you made us stay back.
The entire Dongshan Squadron are cowards!
Look at him.
If all the commanders are like you,
then we'll all die in vain.
Like that rookie of yours.
[♪♪♪]
Don't cry.
Remember to bring my father's medicine
and get as far away as you can.
Don't wait! Or you won't be able to leave. You hear me?
Why won't they be able to leave?
I'll tell you the truth.
Before the workers could close the valves,
the control center went up in flames.
All the valves in Oil Depot One and in the pipes between the tanks are still open.
[♪♪♪]
What you're saying is that all the oil in those tanks
is flowing towards Tank A01
and out through the pipes?
Yes.
Get to Command and tell them the truth right now!
LI: Commander.
All the valves between the tanks in Oil Depot One are open.
We're in grave danger.
-Why didn't you say so when I asked you? -I...
I thought you'd put out the fire quickly!
But right now...
Tank A01 isn't the most dangerous.
Look.
The most dangerous place right now is the chemical-tank zone across the road.
It stores large amounts of benzene,
xylene and also...
cyanide.
Benzene is a Class-A fire hazard.
It can numb the central nervous system.
When cyanide is inhaled in large amounts, a person loses consciousness within seconds
and breathing capabilities in 15 minutes.
If the chemical tanks explode...
All 8 million people in the city are in danger.
Secretary Fang.
Stop eating.
I've barely started.
My friend says we have to leave immediately. His uncle has a friend who works at the oil depot.
He says the explosions are escalating.
WOMAN: Are you serious? -Why would I lie to you?
Get your stuff. Let's go!
-Taxi! -Taxi!
-Hey, taxi!
MAN: I'll report you!
Let's take the subway.
Mom, I booked you a plane ticket.
Wait for me at home, I'm coming to pick you up.
WOMAN: Sources tell me that only about a thousand firefighters are on the scene.
And the province's foam reserve is running out.
-Any truth to these rumors? -At this moment,
it's true that only Bingang's fire brigades are on the scene right now.
However, they won't be fighting alone.
Brigades from cities across the province
are on their way to the fire right now.
[SIRENS WAILING]
-A little boy is hurt, -[CELL PHONE RINGING]
so the ambulance showed up.
In the ambulance, there are...
Hello, Liwei?
Honey?
Tell our son that...
when I get out of here,
I'll take him to school every day.
What's happening?
JIANG: Don't ask. You know I can't tell you.
Hey, are you all right?
Don't worry.
I'll come find you when it's over.
Talk to Miao Miao, then.
Sure.
EMERGENCY GENERATOR TRUCK
Wei Lei?
Miao Miao, it's your dad.
Talk to him.
Be good, talk to him.
Dad.
Mm?
The only solution is to shut down the two sets of valves
that lead from Tank A01 to other tanks.
This will stop the spill fire from spreading to the chemical tanks.
How do we do that?
Secretary Fang.
All we need to do is get someone in there to turn on the power to the valves.
I've called in a generator truck...
but the technician refuses to go in.
I even offered him 200,000 yuan, but he says he doesn't want to die in there.
Oh, I almost forgot, one of your firefighters said he'd talk to the technician.
I don't know how it went.
-What are you doing? -What the hell, man?
Get back!
Let me go.
Are you scared to die?
Is he right about the effects of the explosion?
WANG: It'll be worse.
According to our estimates,
the magnitude of the chemical explosion would be equivalent to 20 atomic bombs...
combined with the fallout from toxic chemicals.
If the crude oil in the tanks spills into the ocean...
and if the spill fire on the water gets out of control...
JIANG: Command, come in.
-This is Jiang Liwei, Dongshan Squadron. -I'm laying down the cable.
Technician Wei Lei and I are heading to Zone B to close the valves.
And the money?
But the money you promised him, it needs to be paid.
Of course, definitely.
All these years, I've been telling you to wait for my orders, but you never listened.
Make sure Wei Lei is safe.
Roger that.
Secretary Fang.
I suggest we ask the provincial government to formally request
additional manpower and supplies from the central government.
The Governor and the Provincial Party Secretary are already on their way here.
The Air Force is also sending helicopters to assist.
To all of you,
to us and everyone in this city,
tonight will be the greatest challenge we'll ever face.
Miao Miao, pack these up.
Take this too.
Put the asthma medicine in the side pocket so you can reach it anytime.
Help me think of what else we need to bring.
-Dad's stuff. -What?
This is the most important thing to your father.
Take it.
-Keep it safe for him, all right? -Mm.
Put it away.
MA: Come again?
Do you copy?
Command, Command.
This is Ma Weiguo of Special Brigade Squadron One.
Why is our elite unit being pulled back?
We should be at Tank A01 fighting the fire.
Who are you to give me orders?
You listen to me.
You stay right in front of the chemical tanks and keep the area clear.
Keep the tanks safe and don't move a damn inch!
-Special Brigade Squadron One! ALL: Here!
We're to hold this position. Don't take a single step back. Check your gear and stick to your orders. Is that clear?!
ALL: Yes, sir!
Zheng Zhi. Zheng Zhi!
-Yes, sir! -You've got nothing to do?
Think you're on a damn field trip? Go get me some foam!
-Yes, sir. -Go!
On my way, sir.
Start running!
WEI: There are four valves on each set of switches. Two in, two out.
We have to close all of them
to stop the oil from flowing into A01...
and to stop the burning oil from getting into other tanks.
How do we know they're closed?
Once the power is connected,
the screw will turn automatically, closing the valve.
See that up there?
-You can turn the power on! Turn it on! -Roger that.
We're okay.
MAN 1: We're almost out of foam, get some more over here.
MAN 2: We're out of foam, get more.
Wait!
Let me have those two.
-Get the ones over there. -Where the hell am I supposed to go?
[♪♪♪]
[MEN SHOUT]
Hey! Help!
Hurry! Somebody help!
Here we go.
XU: How's it looking? MAN 1: Lots of garbage down there.
XU: Clean it once an hour. Make sure the pump keeps functioning. Come on up.
Hand me the trash.
Get up here.
Hang on tight!
Are you okay?
MAN [OVER RADIO]: Attention, all drivers on the road.
There's been a major fire in the port area.
The government has mobilized fire engines from across the province.
I'll pay anything for a ticket!
MAN: Lady, I wanted to try my luck at the airport, but people were running away.
Stop it, Miao.
[♪♪♪]
Are you all right?
-What the hell is wrong with you? -Sorry, I wasn't paying attention.
-I'm sorry. -Forget it, let's take the subway.
Take my hand!
Let's go. Don't let go!
Hurry.
[CLAMORING]
Don't push!
-Don't push! MIAO: Mom! Mom!
Mom! Mom!
There are children here, stop pushing!
Turn the power on now!
Let's get a selfie.
Pretty sure I won't be doing anything like this ever again.
I'll brag about it for the rest of my life.
[PHONE CLICKING]
Once we close the valves,
I'll brag for you.
Thanks.
-There you go. -Ha, ha, ha!
Command, come in. The valves in Zone B are closed.
We're heading to Zone A to close the remaining four valves.

Get up there!
Go!
Fire! You're on fire!
Let me go!
JIANG: You can't leave! -We need to leave!
Or we'll die here!
I don't care. You need to close those valves.
Have you lost your mind?
The generator truck is gone!
The road is blocked!
I don't want to die!
If I'm gonna die, I'll die with my family!

Permission granted.
Dry powder's here!

We will stay right here, and we will fight till the end!
ALL: Yes, sir!
Hit it!
Forward!

Come with me.
I know the way out.
I can get us out.
Maybe we can get out alive.
Don't you have a wife and child?
Go home and get them out of town.
There's still a chance.
Firefighters are people too.
Come with me, man.
Do you hear me?
If this place explodes,
so does the whole city.
Let's go, man.
We have to go!
[♪♪♪]
Come on.
We have to go!
Bro! Come back!
Bro!
Can you hear me?
As long as I'm alive,
I'll remember you!
Even if we send another generator truck, it won't do any good.
Look, Secretary Fang,
Tank A01 is surrounded by fire.
The oil pressure is too high, and there's so much oil in that tank.
If you ask me...
it's not going to hold out for long.
Only we stand between the people and this fire.
We have to hold out, no matter what!
Assemble all the commanders.

I've been in there.
I know where the valves are.
I'm the best man for this mission. Trust me, sir.

Now they say the tanks already exploded.
How unsettling.
How much did you spend on the tickets?
I worked so hard to save money.
I told you to leave him.
Everyone else in the station did.
We're in a crisis.

She wants me to say something nice.
I'll only have a few hundred bucks left after the wedding.
There's no point talking about it.
If I want to give her a comfortable life, I need to work my ass off.
You'll get it when you're older. Heh.

The remote water supply is doing just fine.
But it does have a bit of a temper.
A little improvement will make it perfect.
Over and out.
Looks like this fire has come at a bad time.
[GRUNTING]
[METAL CREAKING]
[DEVICE BEEPING]
-Captain! -Yeah?
I'm almost out of oxygen.
I'm getting the alert too.
Take it off.
All right.
Command, come in.
We've been at this for 45 minutes,
why aren't the valves closed yet?
[♪♪♪]
Didn't you say that they can be closed in 10 minutes?
What the hell is going on?
I don't know.
They've never been manually closed before.
All I know is that...
80 rotations...
is one click.
And it needs 100 clicks...
to close one valve.
Why the hell do you keep lying to us?!
I...
I'm not lying!
I'm still here, aren't I?!
This port has been around for a century.
It can't die on my watch.
A lot of people in this city rely on it to make a living.
If I tell you everything,
who'd have the guts to go in and put out the fire?
How will the port be saved?
You don't know a damn thing about firefighters.
Each valve...
takes 8000 rotations to close.
Fuck.
Captain.
Can we really do this?
Whether it's 8000...
80,000...
or 800,000, we still have to close it.
Hang in there.
Come here, take a seat.
Sir! Please open the door.
She's in labor.
-Please open the door. -No way, there's no room. Just go away.
-Please help us. Open the door. -We're out of room.
-Sir, she's in labor! -I know.
-Miss! Her water broke. -Ah!
Hang in there.
-Sir, her water broke. -Just go away!
-Help us! Don't you have a mother? Don't you have kids? -I've got no room and no kids. Just go away.
Sir!
MAN: Miss!
Let's go.
One, two, three!
MAN 1: Why? MAN 2: They've all boarded the ferry.
Why won't you let us in?!
Why?! Why?!
[CLAMORING]
Don't you dare run away.
I need your parents to pay us back for your ticket.
The ferry's already overloaded. Let them wait for the next one.
Let's go!
-What's wrong? What's wrong with you? -Does he have asthma?
He won't make it if we don't get him to a hospital.
Oh, no! The ferry's leaving!
Why is the ferry leaving already?
[GASPING]
Look...
I mean...
we've already lived here our entire lives.
Why don't we...
stay here?
Let's get him to the hospital.
Okay.
MAN [OVER PA]: All citizens, please remain calm.
Please follow the instructions of the police
and go to government shelters in an orderly manner.
The provincial government has already requested
manpower and supplies from the central government.
The military has also mobilized reinforcements.
The central government has also ordered that lives and properties
must be protected at all costs.
MAN: Mix the concrete and block the fire. Hurry!
Go high, over there!
Move forward! Go!
Zheng Zhi! Zheng Zhi!
I know, get some more foam.
-Move your ass! -On my way!
Go! Go!
The temperature in Tank A01 is rising again.
Attention, all battle zones. Tank A01 may explode again.
I order all efforts be shifted to lowering the tank's temperature.
Buy more time for the strike team.
[COUGHS]
I think my valve is closed!
This one is closed too.
The valves across the way are the only ones left.
We'll have to climb over.
Yes, sir!
Let's go!
Captain!
[SCREAMS]
Hang on tight.
Don't let go!
Steady!
Watch the steps.
Doctor! Doctor!
-Doctor! -Somebody help!
-This way. -My wife's in labor.
Come with me.
Come on, take a deep breath.
Relax. Relax.
[SCREAMS]
Excuse me, have you seen this child?
He's wearing a red cap and dark blue vest. He's about this tall.
This is my son, Jiang Miao.
There are too many kids here.
Go ahead and look for him yourself.
Doctor,
I'm stuck because I can't move,
but why are you all still here?
Well, you want to operate on yourself?
Don't even think about it.
How is he doing?
-His breathing and heart rate are normal now. -Good. Don't worry, kid.
We've already asked the police to look for your parents. They'll be here to pick you up in no time.
[♪♪♪]
These two valves are almost closed.
-Captain. -Huh?
Have some water.
[COUGHING]
This foam water tastes like crap.
Why didn't you tell me?
Captain.
Do you hear that?
Listen.
[CREAKING]
MAN: Get down!
Ouch!
Anyone hurt? Is anyone hurt?!
Get up! Get up right now!
-I'm fine, captain! -I'm fine too!
We're all right.
Fall back! Fall back!
Everyone fall back! Fall back!
Fall back! Fall back!
Get back!
Special Brigade Squadron One!
-Assemble! We're fighting back! SQUAD: Yes, sir!
Go!
-Let's fight back! SQUAD: Yes, sir!
MAN: Go!
Go! Get in there!
Captain!
-Our hose is broken! -Ours too, captain.
Get behind me! Get behind me!
Guys,
follow my lead!
-Even if we die, we die in front of that damn tank! SQUAD: Yes, sir!
Captain, this hose is gone too!
Get back!
ZHENG: Captain!
-Captain! SQUAD: Zheng Zhi!
Zheng Zhi!
Get us some help! Go call for help!
Call for help!
Call Command and get help!
Go get help!
It's that way!
You're going the wrong way, Zheng Zhi!
Why is he going the wrong way?
He's running away.
-Goddamn coward! -That bastard!
MA: Don't worry, we'll be okay. We'll be fine.
I'm coming, guys!
MAN 1: Zheng Zhi!
: Zheng Zhi!
MAN 2: Get up, Zheng Zhi!
MAN 3: Get up, man!
Zheng Zhi!
MAN 2: Zheng Zhi! Get up!
MAN 3: Get up! Get up, man!
Get up!
MAN 4: Come on, Zheng Zhi!
MAN 5: Zheng Zhi!
[GRUNTS]
Go!
Go find help!
Go!
Leave us!
Go!
Run, it's too dangerous!
Get out of there!
Go, right now! Move your asses!
Go now!
Go!
Fall back! Fall back!
Go, captain!
Get out of here!
Careful, Zheng Zhi!
Captain! Captain!
Zheng Zhi! Zheng Zhi!
[SCREAMS]
Zheng Zhi!
Zheng Zhi! Zheng Zhi!
[GRUNTING]
Captain!
Zheng Zhi!
Just leave me and go!
-Captain! -Let me go!
-Captain! -Let go!
Just leave me and go!
Let me go!
Zheng Zhi!
Captain!
Give this to my mom!
Command...
Special Brigade Squadron One...
Firefighter...
Zheng Zhi...
has died.
[♪♪♪]
Get up!
Comrade Zheng Zhi has died.
None of us wanted to see that happen.
However...
in our line of duty,
sacrifices are inevitable!
The battle isn't over!
-We can't carry on like this! SQUAD: Yes, sir!
-First Squad Leader! MAN 1: Yes, sir!
Inspect the hoses!
Yes, sir!
-Second Squad Leader! MAN 2: Yes, sir!
-Check the foam! -Yes, sir!
-Get ready to fight! SQUAD: Yes, sir!
Captain, the spill fire's coming.
ALL: Captain! Captain!
Come help me!
Let's get in there!
Go! Let's go!
MA: Hurry up!
Move it!
Let's go!
Hurry up!
Hurry! Hurry!
My valve's closed.
[GAGGING]
What's wrong?
Captain.
I think I'm really going to die here.
[COUGHS]
Let's get out of here.
Go!
My valve isn't closed yet.
We can't...
We can't leave.
A01 is about to blow up.
Besides,
I want to get home alive.
When I tell you to run, you run as fast as you can.
[♪♪♪]
Captain!
Run! Go!
Get out of here!
Run, captain!
Captain!
Let's go!
Captain! Captain!
We made it!
Captain!
Captain! Come over here, captain!
Why did you trick me?
Captain...
[WOMAN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY OVER PA]
Miss, have you found your son yet?
I'll check another hospital.
My husband said he'd come back after the fire. I have to let him see our son.
[TOY FIRE TRUCK WAILING]
It's me against you now.
[GRUNTING]
Haven't you noticed
that I've got you by the neck?
[YELLS]
[♪♪♪]
Mom! Mom.
[♪♪♪]
Captain.
What do we do now?
Do we just wait for this thing to kill us?
I'm being discharged soon.
I can't die, captain, I can't die!
I don't wanna die!
[♪♪♪]
Don't be afraid.
I don't want to die!
It'll be okay, don't worry.
It's okay.
It'll be fine, man.
Guys,
from the day we became firefighters,
we have prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice, haven't we?
I know I've been tough on you.
I know I can be harsh.
Especially on you.
And you.
But I can tell all of you today
that I am damn proud of you.
Each of us...
should leave some parting words for our families.
If we die here, we should let them know what we've done here.
If your parents are still around, tell your parents.
If you have kids,
then tell your kids.
Go ahead.
Mom...
I want to go back home for a few days.
I want to have hot pot with you guys.
I miss you.
Mother...
it's Yilun.
Don't you always complain...
that I never miss home?
Well, I miss home now.
I want to go home, Mom.
I'm so exhausted.
Zheng Long, your turn.
Ma...
Pa...
I've done something y'all can be proud of this time.
If I don't make it back
from this mission,
I apologize.
If we meet again in the next life, I'll take care of y'all for sure.
Pa, Ma...
y'all take care of yourselves, you hear?
Let me give you a proper salute.
Son...
this is your father.
Remember,
listen to your mother,
all right?
Be a proud, decent man when you grow up,
you hear me?
Dad...
I'm sorry.
[♪♪♪]
Let's go, guys!
Let's go!
MAN 1: Hold the line! -Let's go, guys!
Captain, still no water!
Leave it, move the rocks!
Command, we have no water.
We have no water either!
We're being overrun here!
The city has diverted all its water for the fire. There's not enough to spare!
Xu Xiaobin!
The city has cut the water supply.
Your remote water supply is all that's left. Ensure that the pump is functioning.
This is Fenglin Squadron, Xu Xiaobin.
Don't worry, Command.
As long as we're here, the water supply won't stop.
Give me that.
Take a break. I'll be right back.
MA: Watch out for spill fire! Don't step on it!
Command! Command!
There's still no water at the chemical tanks.
This is like fighting a war with no bullets!
Reinforcements are almost here.
Hold the line at all costs. That's an order!
We don't mind dying out here, but how the hell do we fight a fire without water?!
Weiguo,
it's Liwei.
Hold on a little longer.
Buy me some more time.
You got it.
Don't worry, Jiang.
I got your back.
Come on! Move these rocks!
There's too much trash!
Come here! Come on!
MAN 2: Eat this!
Come on!
You want some more? You got it!
Come on!
I'm not afraid of you!
The temperature of the chemical tanks is rising. It's hitting the limit.
Captain, the tank is cracking!
We stay here.
We'll stand here
for as long as we can.
And we'll hang on
for as long as we can!
As long as we're here, the fight continues!
Zheng Zhi gave his life to save ours.
We're staying here!
We're staying with him!
SQUAD: Yes, sir!
Come on!
Don't blink! Hang in there!
Special Brigade Squadron One!
ALL: Every member counts!
On the road to victory!
Bring it!
[YELLING]
Come on! Come on!
Come on! Bring it!
MAN 3: Captain, water's here! MA: Cool the chemical tank down!
Xiaobin!
[♪♪♪]
MAN: Command...
Squad Leader Xu Xiaobin...
has died.
SQUAD: Xiaobin! Xiaobin! Xiaobin!
Hey! Get over there!
[♪♪♪]
Xu Xiaobin...
Xiaobin...
Wake up.
This is a joke, right?
If I clean you up...
If I clean you up, then...
you'll wake up, right?
Xu Xiaobin, you jerk!
This isn't funny anymore.
[♪♪♪]
Come on!
Is this all you've got?!
You've lost.
Captain!
-Captain! -Captain!
[♪♪♪]
WU: Captain Jiang Liwei is dead.
He managed to close all the valves at Tank A01.
I order everyone to assemble right now and lead an all-out attack.
WU: Attention, all battle zones.
This is Command.
Gather everything you've got and attack!
MA: Guys, put in everything we've got!
ALL: Yes, sir!
[YELLING]
[CHEERING]
MAN 1: It's over! We won!
MAN 2: We've put out the fire!
MAN 3: Captain, have some water.
Time to go home.
[♪♪♪]
MA: You think you're hot shit now, don't you?
How tall is Miao Miao now? This tall?
Taller than that.
A lot taller.
That's right.
This tall?
You have to catch up.
I...
Oh, wait, you just had a kid.
I mean...
I just want to live to see my wife and kid again.
[♪♪♪]
Dad...
Hey, what's up, little guy?
Why so grumpy?
[CRYING]
[♪♪♪]
Let's eat.
HEROES, REST IN PEACE
[♪♪♪]
