Circle Line (2023) - CHINESE movie

  • last year
Set in a Southeast Asian city, the story follows a group of commuters on the last subway train home, only to have the train veer off-course and crash into an abandoned tunnel. Stalked by an unknown monster, the remaining commuters - Yi Ling, a withdrawn mother guilt-ridden by her trauma in a car accident that killed her husband and nearly that of Lucas, her son, and Janice, a student dealing with an estranged relationship with her father - must escape and survive the night. When Lucas is taken by the monster, Yi Ling's maternal instinct is once again tested. Back in the subway control headquarters, duty engineers try to make sense of the situation and rescue the survivors, if there are any.

00:01:16You really like it so much?
00:01:18We need a bigger tank.

in the first place.
I'm sorry.
We are addressing it now.
Enough breakdowns.
Get to the bottom of this and make sure it doesn't happen again!
00:07:42Okay. We're trying our best.
00:07:44Trying isn't good enough! Get it done!
00:07:47Understood?
00:07:48Understood.
00:08:01The top brass just had a board meeting.

they will be overwritten--
So you are saying the system is the problem?
00:08:37Yes. Our system needs to be renewed.
00:08:40The train frequencies
400:01:22,708 --> 00:01:24,750

opening up
I know.
But we shouldn't neglect our current lines.
00:08:55Will a system renewal solve our problems?
00:08:57At least it will be better.
00:08:59It's been a while
400:01:22,708 --> 00:01:24,750
400:01:22,708 --> 00:01:24,750
400:01:22,708 --> 00:01:24,750

How may I assist you?
Control
Yes.
It's two minutes late.
We seem to have lost its signal.
That's strange.
Calvin.
This is the duty supervisor.
We have lost the signal for 1152.
Its signal is normal here. It should be in by now.
00:14:39There's no train here.
00:14:42One moment.
00:14:45What's going on?
00:14:47The train was two minutes behind schedule.
400:01:22,708 --> 00:01:24,750
99
100
but the train is not at the station.
Take a look at the log for the last ten minutes.
00:15:33Lucas, come back.
00:15:36Quickly.
00:15:43Lucas!
00:16:44Give me the footage of 1152
400:01:22,708 --> 00:01:24,750
400:01:22,708 --> 00:01:24,750
400:01:22,708 --> 00:01:24,750
109
-Okay.
Play it again.
I'll leave him to you.
Lucas?
Are you okay?
Are you hurt?
You're all right?
Easy.
Again.
Shut down the tracks.
Send our ground staff to search. Don't stop until it's found!
00:17:53Supervisor here.
00:18:28Can you stay here for a while?
00:18:40Don't use that.
00:18:45I just need these. You can help the rest.
00:18:50Hey, I am injured too.
00:19:00Hey!
00:19:02That's it?
00:19:27Done.
00:19:39Everybody is taken care of.
00:19:43What else can I do?
00:19:47Take a break.
00:19:55Control should be aware by now.
00:20:01I think…
00:20:03help is on the way.
00:20:18You seem to know a lot
400:01:22,708 --> 00:01:24,750
400:01:22,708 --> 00:01:24,750
400:01:22,708 --> 00:01:24,750
400:01:22,708 --> 00:01:24,750

here with you guys.
Hey
Take a flashlight.
Phones have flashlights. Don't you know that?
00:22:34Who is old here?
00:23:05MAINTENANCE - CONTACTING THE TRAIN…
00:23:12We have searched all four lines.
00:23:14-It doesn't make sense.
400:01:22,708 --> 00:01:24,750
170
171
172
into the closed lines?
We need to report this.
We don't know how many people are in the train.
00:23:40-We can't leave them there.
400:01:22,708 --> 00:01:24,750
400:01:22,708 --> 00:01:24,750
400:01:22,708 --> 00:01:24,750
400:01:22,708 --> 00:01:24,750
400:01:22,708 --> 00:01:24,750
400:01:22,708 --> 00:01:24,750
400:01:22,708 --> 00:01:24,750
400:01:22,708 --> 00:01:24,750
400:01:22,708 --> 00:01:24,750
400:01:22,708 --> 00:01:24,750
400:01:22,708 --> 00:01:24,750
400:01:22,708 --> 00:01:24,750

for a new line automatically
and the train will run on the new line
until it reaches the next station.
So which new line is it on now?
Not necessarily a new line.
Could be an old line too.
But in theory
no matter which line the system chooses
the train will stop at the next station and wait for instructions.
00:26:27It will stop even at dead ends.
00:26:30Have we searched all possible lines?
00:26:34We're searching.
00:26:36It's still missing.
00:26:38Missing.
00:26:39It's still missing even now.
00:26:41Which line is this?
00:26:46What is this flawed system?
00:26:49Flaws everywhere.
00:26:51We have been using this system for years.
00:26:54Why is the system designed this way?
00:26:59You all knew there were flaws.
00:27:02Yet no one can explain why?
00:27:06Sir.
00:27:08You wanted it to be efficient.
00:27:14The budget is too low,
400:01:22,708 --> 00:01:24,750
400:01:22,708 --> 00:01:24,750
221
222
223
-No
We're not sure yet.
But we have the footage of the train before it disappeared.
00:27:58You seem experienced in first aid.
00:28:02Are you a doctor?
00:28:04I used to be a nurse
400:01:22,708 --> 00:01:24,750
400:01:22,708 --> 00:01:24,750
400:01:22,708 --> 00:01:24,750
400:01:22,708 --> 00:01:24,750
400:01:22,708 --> 00:01:24,750
400:01:22,708 --> 00:01:24,750
400:01:22,708 --> 00:01:24,750

-Close it!
Be careful.
I'll handle it.
Janice
Lucas! No!
What happened?
The maps are incomplete.
-There was a track running here. -The old hospital demolished last year?
00:30:29-Yes.
400:01:22,708 --> 00:01:24,750
400:01:22,708 --> 00:01:24,750
400:01:22,708 --> 00:01:24,750

This has never happened before.
What station is this?
The number you have dialed is currently unavailable.
00:35:26Please try again later.
00:35:35The number you have dialed
400:01:22,708 --> 00:01:24,750
400:01:22,708 --> 00:01:24,750
400:01:22,708 --> 00:01:24,750

277
278
279
280
281
282
There should be another station ahead.
Are you okay?
Can you walk?
I know you're worried about this blowing up.
00:38:00If we keep stalling,
400:01:22,708 --> 00:01:24,750
288
about the passengers on board.
Find them.
Deploy all the resources for the rescue.
I will call the armed forces for help.
Got it.
Madam Chan.
I can't send a rescue team
without precise information about the incident.
00:38:50We'll be fine.
00:39:12Sorry.
00:39:18I'm just a little shaken.
00:39:40Your kid is so cool.
00:39:42Other kids in this situation…
00:39:47would've been too scared, even hysterical.
00:40:06He's been through an accident.
00:40:12I was driving…
00:40:15and hit a barricade.
00:40:18The car flipped three times
400:01:22,708 --> 00:01:24,750
400:01:22,708 --> 00:01:24,750
400:01:22,708 --> 00:01:24,750

I'm trying to solve this. Can't you just listen?
00:47:41Don't you know how much you matter to me?
400:01:22,708 --> 00:01:24,750
400:01:22,708 --> 00:01:24,750

400:01:22,708 --> 00:01:24,750
346
347
what will I do?
If everyone in that train had died
what would you have done?
I'm here now
You're here because it's your job.
I've been trying hard.
But no matter what I do
Forget it.
We'll talk when we get out.
When we get up therethe radio should work.
00:51:03Go.
00:51:05Go now.
00:51:22Climb up.

00:53:43Hello?
00:53:48Hello?
00:53:51This is Control. Where are you?
00:53:59Madam Chan. We have a situation.
00:54:01One of our men is down there.
400:01:22,708 --> 00:01:24,750

You can speak to him now.
Did you hear
about the survivors?
The mother and son?
I just know they burnt the entire tunnel.
They've classified it as a gas leak incident.
