Passion.
My car has broken down. Can I come in?
We have nothing to lose. Let him in.
Open the door.
Thank you.
I'm sorry for disturbing you.
I can stay outside.
But this creature needs to be saved.
Don't worry child.
It's dying from the cold.
I think it's starving.
You look familiar.
You must have mistaken me for someone else.
I'm sorry. Did you use to be a model?
Have you ever seen any badger-legged models?
When I first got here,
my daughter was sick all the time.
I used to hold her and feed her food like this.
Every baby longs for its mother's warmth.
Mr. Tu! Mr. Tu!
What is it?
The radio has caught a signal.
The model casting competition gets harder and harder each round.
Although she doesn't have many advantages,
literature student Ho Nha Nam's intelligence
has given her an outstanding advantage.
She's such a sassy girl.
She even dares to disobey her dad's orders.
Hello guys!
I can't wait to try the food.
You'll love it.
You'll see for yourself.
Come over.
We just captured him from the jungle.
Watch.
I’ve come to pick you up.
The next round is only days away. I can't go home.
I need to stay here to practice.
It's your father's order.
How did he know?
Did he watch the TV program? He even had time to do that?
You have 5 minutes to pack your stuff.
Next time, clean your car before picking me up.
Yes, miss.
Can you say anything else besides "Yes, miss"?
Hey! I'm asking you.
Is this new?
Dad! Why didn't you just call me?
I need to go to school to ask for the school's permission.
Miss! Miss!
They must be missing their owner.
They've been roaring all day.
Dad! The rubber harvest is really good. We've got more than 12 tons of rubber.
I've told you not to take the bear bile.
Why didn't you listen to me?
There are too many people here.
Raising animals is my personal hobby.
I've told you this multiple times.
Why haven't you got it?
Well, Dad, I'm sorry.
Good boy.
Dare to steal, dare to be beaten.
You're the man.
Let me come in. I need to talk to you.
It's me, He Chi.
I'm talking to your husband. What's wrong?
I was the one that stole your bear bile.
Well,
I gave it to the doctor that saved my life.
Next time you need to inform me, okay?
Yes, Dad.
Ut Lam is coming home.
The number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable.
Please try again later.
Ut Lam is coming home to face her punishment.
No need to decorate.
But this is Ut's favorite flower.
She's just a teenage girl. She'd love to see pretty things like this.
She's a pretty girl, but that doesn't mean she should dress up to serve men.
That's supermodel Thien Kim, Ut Lam's idol.
Mom, do you think this dress is pretty?
Give me that.
You need to focus on studying.
When I grow up, can you give me some of those dresses?
You won't need them by that time, right Mom?
Come in.
I couldn't finish your order.
I'm sorry.
Don't say that.
She's like a wild tiger within Saigon.
You can't capture her.
Get some rest.
So pretty.
To the right.
Raise your chin.
Switch your pose.
So pretty.
Can I take a rest? I'm getting dizzy.
Everybody is sweating too. Make up!
You have to turn off your phone during a photoshoot.
She's such a sassy girl. She even dares to disobey her dad's orders.
Her gut must be as big as a tiger's.
He can even train a tiger.
How can she beat him?
What's wrong? Do you still miss the good old jungle?
See? Wild bear bile is different from domestic bear bile.
I see. Ask your friends to buy it with you.
Did you forget something?
Forget what?
Dad's whip.
How can I forget that?
But I've got an angel on my side.
Thank you little baby.
Where's the badger-legged one?
Come have your breakfast.
Watch me! I'm imitating you.
Ut Lam is competing in a modeling competition.
She's getting deeper and deeper in showbiz.
When will the competition start?
The 23rd of this month.
I'll go to Saigon to bring her back home.
That's right, Dad.
I think we should let my husband go.
Last time, Khoi ruined everything.
If you want to catch a tiger, you have to lure it out of the jungle.
She'll come back on the anniversary of her mother's death.
Dad was right.
This time, you won't get away with it.
What's wrong, brother?
Get out! I need to talk to her.
If your mother were alive,
she'd never approve of you modeling.
How would you know?
Because modeling is such a useless job.
You go around in a tiny little dress,
to serve those common tastes.
You've never seen me performing.
How could you condemn my passion?
I am not condemning you.
This is my final warning.
You have to end that useless passion.
Then how useful is your passion for raising tigers?
Mom died because of a tiger.
You’re supposed to despise that creature.
You're being impertinent, Lam!
I'll stop modeling
when you stop hunting tigers.
You don't have the right to bargain with me.
Then I'll go. I want to make my own choices.
You won't be returning to the city. Your brother will take you back home.
Yes, Dad.
Dad! Dad! I need to go to school.
Tomorrow I'll ask for the school's permission for your deferment.
Life on the farm will help you get better.
Are you happy now?
Goodbye.
I'm not eating. You and Dad are so cruel.
Fine. It's just the two of us here.
You don't have to yell at me.
Listen to me.
If you stop eating, how can you attend that modeling contest?
Dad's a tough guy, so you have to be flexible.
Just pretend that you'll listen to him, and he'll let you go.
As soon as you get to the city, you can do whatever you want.
If you want to be a model, you need to have the strength of an athlete.
You'll be constantly performing.
You'll need good health for that.
Here you go.
Ms. Lam, give me your phone.
Why?
The master's order.
Excuse me.
Are you trying to take away my right to freedom of speech?
Well, at least I can finish half of the master's order.
Did you ask for me?
It's very dangerous out here.
Why did you bring me out here?
He's constantly been crying.
I have no other choice.
Where's his dad?
Starting tomorrow, move the women to the chicken farm.
Thank you Mr. Tu.
Stop crying, child.
[people talking noisily]
Honey, stop taking that bear bile. Think of our child.
I'm doing it for my child.
But...what if Dad finds out?
He's an old man living in the middle of the jungle.
He's forgotten that there are things that are much more important than those tigers.
Relationships.
I love it, Mom!
Crossing the river using this method is too dangerous.
Thank you sir.
I can take care of my own safety.
Taking care of your own safety is never easy, right Mrs. Thien Kim?
You travelled all the way down here
just to show me these pointless articles?
I have a favor to ask.
May I present myself...
You're a famous billionaire, nicknamed Tu Tiger.
What are you expecting of a disabled woman like me,
who only asks for peace
That's what I need from you.
You've been stalking me these days.
You're such a loyal servant.
There's no one around. Leave.
Wait.
Was it my father's order?
Why did you save me?
Do you want to be imprisoned for the rest of your life that badly?
Let me help.
It must be dark inside. Cheer up, baby.
Are you crazy?
You're still a thief, aren't you Khoi?
Dad will still be able to find you, even if you hide in the sky.
I can't let you escape. That will expose me.
How can I continue helping you?
Be quiet.
I want to introduce you to a man.
I don't want to meet anyone.
Remember to be good.
Yes, Mom.
Goodbye Mom.
Wait for me.
I know she's your idol,
so I've invited her and her child to come here.
So you can teach me a lesson?
That's what you said.
If you don't want to see her right now, maybe we can return another time.
She'll be here for a while.
I want to meet her right now.
Privately.
It's for you.
Don't you even think about escaping.
Khoi! Khoi!
Stop right there.
It's from the master.
Don't you want to open it?
All these years, I thought it was only an accident.
Her legs are ruined.
She's a model. Please save her.
It's impossible to bring back her old legs.
Think carefully; were you having a rivalry with anyone?
Rivalry wasn’t the right word for it.
It was jealousy,
back-stabbing,
revilement , vengeance.
You're just a newbie.
You can’t imagine
the complications of this career.
Why didn't you tell the police about this?
For what?
They aren't any better than me.
Bao Hoa committed suicide in America.
Kieu Hanh and My Hoang are now living inside a mental hospital.
Lam Kieu is in rehab.
They all used to be showbiz's biggest stars.
The conversation
affected her deeply.
Had I known you imprisoned your own daughter,
I'd never have agreed to come here.
From now on, I won't have to use that method anymore.
I think Nha Lam won't give up on her passion that easily.
Perhaps you know nothing about models.
Perhaps.
But I know much more than you think I do.
Lam! What's going on?
Lam! It's Dad! Open the door!
Lam! It’s your sister!
Go away!
The door is locked from the inside.
Mr. Khoi! The master is asking for you! Hurry up!
I'm coming.
Why didn't you open the door?
Do your legs hurt?
I had a nightmare.
After waking up, my legs hurt.
I think your legs are cramped.
Don't worry. My legs are cramped all the time.
Mr. Tu sent you this.
Why did he send us all these things?
Are these for me?
Yes.
Honey.
I'll bring you more when you've finished them all.
Does a model get cramped legs?
Why do you ask me that?
Guys!
That's enough for today.
When the tigers are trained,
they will go to their cages willingly.
Do you really think that would happen to Nha Lam?
That's what you said.
But if she's willing to change,
it would be thanks to you.
That's what you thought.
Dad has told Khoi to take care of Ut.
You don't have to worry about her.
Dad is such an expert.
He tried do distract her,
and now he's trying to teach her using her own method.
He’s such a god.
Then learn from him.
Then, you can teach our child that one day.
Bad!
Get out of Mama soon, so that you can learn from your grandfather.
It's great. Who did you make it for?
None of your business.
Can I see it?
No.
Hey there!
Come here!
It's for you.
You’re a stranger to him. Be careful.
He's the wildest of them all.
When I brought him here, one of his legs was seriously smashed.
He's very grumpy and unfriendly.
Maybe because he knows he's just a disabled tiger.
Badger-legged! Bad boy!
Mrs. Thien Kiem!
I'm sorry. I forgot that...
It wasn't an inferiority complex.
Call it pride.
If someone ever calls me by the name "badger-legged",
I will fight back.
That tiger deserves to be treated well.
Who did this to you?
No one.
You're such a hard-headed man.
I know the answer anyway.
Then why did you need to ask?
Sometimes I feel like I do not know you.
Sometimes you're my friend, but other times you are my enemy.
I only do what is needed.
Simple as that.
Can I play with it?
Of course.
Get on.
Her body is so beautiful.
She's a future model.
Do you still want to be a model, after all the things I told you?
Were you telling me the truth? Or were you telling me what dad wanted you to tell?
Both.
The only things matter in this world
are all about genders. 
 My method is very simple.
I'll use a female to trap a male, and vice versa.
Smart boy. I didn't think of that before.
You're the real expert.
Luring that old model here...
What a strategy!
I invited her here. Use the correct word.
If you didn't find a good school for her daughter,
would she even have bothered coming here?
Why didn't you erase this scar?
I want to remember my passion.
Every time I step on the runway,
when the lights hit me, when the music starts,
I feel so happy.
All eyes on me. They're all jealous of me.
That is a misconception.
You are confusing passion and
the feeling of being admired, being taken care of.
Being a model doesn't mean dressing up
and walking around.
But that's our job.
Have you ever felt like flying
whenever you're on a runway?
That's when you become a true model.
When you fly above, you can sense your true passion.
Have you ever flown before?
Come in.
You look so strange today.
Do you have any good news?
Dad!
I will never give up on my passion.
Ut Lam!
Dad! Dad! Save me!
I'm here.
Save me!
This is a rare kind of autism.
It can happen at any time.
She shouldn't practice or perform anymore.
Are you still afraid of me escaping?
You're such a coward!
Come out!
I'm only following orders.
Are you that afraid of my dad?
He's my savior.
This world is very big.
Everywhere is my escape path.
I can escape whenever I want.
Do you want...
my back to have new scars?
Well,
my dad now has everything he once asked for.
I often look into the tigers' eyes.
But I never find out what they want.
All I can see is a flame.
He's just a boy who wants to be loved.
I can now approach him.
From now on, no one shall call him "badger-legged".
He now has a new name.
Flame-stripes, come here!
The master is here.
Mom!
Mr. Tu gave this to me.
You're spoiling her.
Let her play.
I'm the one who is in debt.
I think Dad is getting younger and younger.
After saving Lam from her obsession with modeling,
I think we should consider saving Dad.
So much fun!
These wings are so beautiful.
So much fun!
Watch out!
Don't worry.
I'm flying.
I'm flying.
Flying.
I'm flying.
So pretty!
I'm flying!
What are you looking at?
Nothing.
Nothing, Dad.
A bird just flew across the sky.
It's nothing, Dad.
The day your mother died, you were just a little girl.
I did everything I could to raise you two.
But the only thing that makes me restless at night,
is the fact that I haven't found you a mother.
What else, Dad?
Mr. Tu! Do you want to play with me?
I made this for you.
My legs are fine now.
I can perform now.
I could even fly
if I had wings.
What's so good about that career?
Why can't you get it out of your head?
It celebrates beauty.
You don’t know about it, do you? 
Are you leaving?
You are the second person, besides Thien Kim,
who knows about this secret.
If you know about my past,
you'll think of me differently.
2 years ago,
I was released after 5 years of imprisonment.
I was reckless back then.
What's wrong?
I don't have a family.
I can't survive out there.
I want to go back in.
Once you're out, you're out. There's no coming back.
Show me your hands.
Good.
Your hands are clean. Get in the car.
Had it not been for your father's help,
I wouldn't be the man I am today.
Will you tell your savior
about my escape?
For what?
So he can chase after me and lock me up.
I will tell him the car has broken down.
Your hands are still clean.
Thank you.
Clean hands.
I'm sorry Mom.
This time,
I won't be coming home for a while.
Why can't you stop being a coward for one day?
Come out!
Don't you want to say goodbye to us, Ut?
Brother?
What are you doing here?
I'm hunting.
I dropped by to congratulate you.
Congratulate me on what?
Congratulate you on your acting skills.
Even an expert like dad is still fooled by you.
He still thinks that he's successfully trained his beloved daughter.
Like he once did with the tigers.
Teach me, master!
You're the actor!
This whip is only used for family members.
You aren't one of us.
Get out.
Dad!
Are they all about your sister?
Yes.
There's an article
"The return of model Nha Lam".
Have a look, Dad.
Hi there!
Hello!
Hello!
If I'm not wrong,
you're here to say goodbye to the tigers.
You're always right.
You are never wrong.
No.
I brought you here
so you could convince her to give up on modeling.
Was it a mistake?
The truth is,
Nha Lam is a great talent.
She has a passion that no one can stop.
I'm asking you about betrayal.
I'm very sorry that I had to do it.
You've given me and my child
better living conditions,
but Nha Lam
was the one that inspired me.
It isn’t an explanation of your betrayal 
I am no longer worthy of your favor.
I need to go now.
Nha Lam returning to the modelling world
and you staying here are two different things.
Flame-stripes is starting to like you.
I need to go away for a few days,
please take care of those tigers for me.
Nha Lam, great job!
Thank you.
Hurry, someone wants to see you.
Hey!
Director Hoang Map wants to see you.
Nha Lam!
Please spend the time to do a shoot for New Fashion Magazine.
New Fashion!
Be on time, don't leave me hanging.
Hey hold this.
[whipping]
What are you looking at?
Get out!
You too!
Why are you staring at me?
Why are you staring at me?
Here's your favor!
You badger-legged!
Here's your favor!
Here's your favor!
Here's your favor! Here's your favor!
Take that!
Take that!
Here's your favor!
Stop!
Flame-stripes come here!
It's me. Your name is Flame-stripes
Good boy!
Come to me. Your name is Flame-stripes.
Isn't it?
Good boy!
Flame-stripes
I'm sorry.
This dress belongs to me.
Didn't you hear about the latest change?
Why didn't you people tell me about the change?
Nha Lam! Nha Lam!
This is the sponsor's request, I'm sorry.
We'll make it up to you later.
Give it to Mrs. Thien Kim.
I can't do this.
Don't you think it suits her?
Cheer up, girls!
Prepare yourself.
Yes, sir.
Where's your hair clip?
It's here.
Please help me.
Nha Lam?
Hasn't anyone told you?
The client just called me, there are a few changes.
They're the ones that sponsored this event you know.
I'm sorry.
What's wrong with this bird, Mom?
What's that sound, Mom?
Don't look.
Why is its leg broken?
Why are you so cruel? Take it away from here.
Honey, over here.
Alright.
Hello?
I see. I see.
The sun's up Let's take a break.
The sun's out. Let's take a break. The sun's down. Let's take a break.
But it's still sunny.
Tu is speaking.
It's me.
Do we really have to go?
Listen to me.
Mrs. Thien Kim!
Why did you do it to me?
What are you talking about?
You showed Dad the places where I perform.
He's been using money to destroy my career.
They've canceled all of my shows.
There's no way he'd do that.
He's a nice guy.
I haven't seen anyone more loving and caring than him.
Liar!
Don't think that
you can bully me.
Lam! It's just a misunderstanding!
Mom is still there.
Mom's spirit will take care of me.
Lam! Lam! Wait for me!
Mom's spirit will take care of me.
Lam! Lam! Wait for me!
Wait for me!
Nha Lam!
Mom! Mom!
Mom! Why aren't you answering me?
Mom!
I've checked on everything.
I didn't know Nha Linh was your wife.
She was once a famous beauty,
why did you tell everyone she is dead?
I lost my wife,
Nha Lam lost her mother,
all because of that beauty.
She was obsessed with her career too.
She cheated on us.
You can take as much as you want.
Just don't let my children find out about this.
Take this and get out of here.
I don't want that bitch
to affect my children negatively.
So I told them their mother was killed by a tiger.
But that doesn't mean
you can bury her motherhood.
I didn't think you were such a cruel man.
Liar!
How could you lie to me?
Why?
Every afternoon, I come to watch the river.
Oh great wide river!
Where are you flowing to?
Do you care about the flower petals that flow within you?
I feel so sorry for myself.
I'm all by myself every night.
I'm the only one that suffers from this great pain.
Every afternoon,
I come to the West Tower.
I've been looking for you everywhere.
What's wrong?
Honey,
Dad is very sad lately.
Why are you smiling?
No one can be strong forever;
Dad will have to give everything he has to his children one day.
Ut Lam disobeys him.
She's out.
So that's why
you've been supporting Ut?
Did he come?
The chair is empty.
If he couldn't come, at least he could have told me.
So impolite!
Run! Run!
Where's the gun?
Honey!
Honey!
I can't do this.
Please help me.
Close the gate.
Crawl out.
Crawl in.
Close the gate.
But I'm already out.
Close it .
It's gone.
Everything is gone.
Get into your tummy. Get out of your tummy.
Where's my child?
Are you gone?
My child is also gone.
My child is also gone.
What's wrong?
He's the same as when I first got out of prison.
Get down child.
We can't oppose nature.
Go! Go!
Go away!
Go back to the jungle!
Get out!
Go!
Run, my children!
Run away!
Dad!
We've brought you 2 new tigers.
