01x07 - Episode 7

[bunniefuu]

Get past him!

Come on!

I'd do better than that.

How many chicken ribs have you had?

Stop watching. We're on a stakeout.

I won't ask you to pay.

We've been watching it all morning.

I'm almost blind!

You two are too gullible.

You can't trust Xing Jianchun.

Excuse me.

Get me a plate of chicken hearts.

Coming right up!

You should cut back on them.

They're high in cholesterol.

They're for you because you need them.

Save them for yourself and Xiang.

You two can have them at night.

Where are you going?

Take the sketch.

I gotta go.

Seriously?

You need that many for number two?

There's still enough for your mouth.

You said no bathroom breaks.

Clearly, you have a double standard.

We can't go, but you can!

I'm old, but you're not!

Show some respect!

I'm insulin-dependent
and still sticking around.

Is there a toilet?

No.

- Go ahead.
- There's one over there.

Don't poop your pants.

Eyes on the target! Watch closely!

He's a burden.

Pass! Come on!

Don't touch anything here.

I'll be right back.

OK, sure.

(China Sports Lottery)

Whatever.

Here are my numbers.

Do you need anything else?

Maybe a few scratch-off lottery tickets?

They're boring, not challenging at all.

But it's a quick game.

You'll know the result right away.

Fine, I'll take one.

Here you are. And your change.

Do it for fun.

Has anyone got lucky today?

Yeah.

How many?

Two.

Why didn't you tell me?

The third is doomed to fail.

I won't win anything.

Maybe you'll get lucky, too.

Now, I regret it.

Hello.

A ticket of ten yuan.

Got it.

All quick picks.

No problem.

Quick picks are lame.

You're wasting your money.

You don't own the generator.

Would the owner let you win?

You picked the numbers yourself,
but have you ever won?

And have you?

Me?

Listen,

I got my car and apartment because of
those quick picks, you know?

Come off it!

Who knows if that's true?

Dude, here's a piece of advice.

Keep calm and sincere
before getting the tickets.

Loser.

He wouldn't listen.

How stubborn!

A ticket of quick picks, too.

(For Hire)

Traffic Police Station.

Sorry, try another one.

I'm unavailable.

I insist.

Come on.

What do you want?

You tell me.

I gotta go.

Would you rather abandon your car?

Where are you going?

Wait, sir...

Are you so rich?

Easy, man, easy...

Those quick picks
got you a car and an apartment, huh?

Please...

Don't try to fight me.

I'm a fighter.

Are you still mad about the quick picks?

This is uncalled for.

Shut up!

I'm telling you,

I broke my arm in a brawl. Go easy!

Hey, don't...

Don't do this.

No need to call your g*ng.

I'm not.

I can handle you alone.

You know MMA?

You're nowhere near my level.

I can flatten you no problem.

Are you done?

I found him. Come over now!

Stop it, man.

I got nothing in my pockets.

I haven't had any clients.

What? We aren't robbers!

So you aren't here for money?

Here's my piece of advice.

Answer our questions honestly, got it?

You said and I quote,

"Keep calm and sincere".

Gentlemen, is there a mistake?

I don't think we have a history.

What is this?

Not at all.

You're the one.

Do I know you?

Cornfield, remember?

You were running fast.

Were you afraid after the hit-and-run?

What are you talking about?

When did I hit others?

Let me remind you.

That morning on October 20th,
you were driving this car

with a fake plate of HUAAW357F.

Does that ring a bell?

Look, sir, yes, I don't have
a taxi license, but I'm not a mob.

I wouldn't dare hit anyone.

Look, none of us here is a cop.

Well, even if you said you were,

I wouldn't buy it.

Shut it!

Hey!

Calm down. Ask him nicely.

Just answer the question.

What happened?

It's simple.

You aren't our target,
but the one you hit.

I'll say it again.

I didn't hit anyone.

Come on!

Stop denying!

We wouldn't be here without evidence.

Your hit-and-run is undeniable.

Tell us who the victim is
and we'll let you go.

Still feigning calm?

Stop hitting me!

Go ahead, Biao.

OK.

No, put your knife back!

No more blood!

I'll k*ll him!

Sir, come on,

I respect seniors like you.

Please be nice.

You still won't talk?

What to do?

Report him to the police.

You're done. You're over for good.

(Pause)

OK.

(Traffic Police)
Thanks for your help.

Officer...

No need to thank us.

We're on the same side,
so I'll be straight with you.

When can I get my cab back?

Alright.

Go to the Accident Section
for the paperwork.

Thank you!

Sir, other than using a fake plate,
he must've done something else.

Can you ask him who he hit?

Don't worry.

A hit-and-run is a serious crime.

We'll get to the bottom of it.

I'll let you know when we find out.

Thanks.

Go home.

OK.

Please keep me updated.

Sure.

I'm Wang Xiang,

"Xiang" as "loud".

Yeah, yeah, got it.

Wang Xiang, what are you up to?

One plate of mutton.

Is there any seafood?

There's calamari.

OK, that, too.

There's too much for us.

Not at all.

And spicy bellflower root, too.

That's all. We might add more later.

OK.

If you two don't propose a toast,

I will.

There's no booze.

Here it is.

Your cup, Xiang.

This is a treat mostly
to thank Captain Ma.

Yes.

Without you,

I wouldn't have got
my cab back so quickly.

No need to thank me.

They found out you're innocent
and gave your car back, of course.

No, you should take the credit.

Without your help, it wouldn't
have wrapped up so soon, right?

Yep.

Let's drink.

Cheers.

Dig in.

What about you?

Aren't you gonna say something?

Come on.

Thank you, Captain Ma.

Not that.

Say something else.

Like what?

The truth, of course.

Xiang, Captain Ma is a friend.

Just say it.

I'm not sure about anything,
so let it go.

Let's eat if you're done drinking.

I'll say it.

Who was the guy
that got hit by that fake-licensed car?

Why did you go to such great lengths
to find him?

Be honest with me if we're friends.

You've put it like that,

OK, you might not believe this,
but the victim of that hit-and-run

k*lled my son, Yang.

Unbelievable, right?

Yes.

Go on.

I got him on tape.

I don't see his face.

How could you be sure it's him?

See?

You didn't believe me then,
and you don't believe me now.

So what's the point?

I wish I could believe you.

Wang Xiang,
your son's death has driven you nuts.

Are you nuts, too?

No, Captain Ma.

It's him that...

Look, the truth is still unknown.

How could I let it go?

Wang Yang k*lled himself
just like I told you 18 years ago.

That's not true.

I know my boy.

He was k*lled by Fu Weijun.

Not again!

Don't you remember when you were
at the railway, we had caught

Fu Weijun.

But how could he get there?

That's why he didn't do it!

You could doubt me, but when he got
caught, everyone saw it right there!

They can't all be wrong!

You are wrong!

As you were

18 years ago!

Calm down, both of you.

Shut up!

Tell me,

Fu Weijun is still in prison.

How could he get hit by a car?

You tell me how my son died!

Don't raise your voice at us!

Do you think the police would tell lies?

Our work is based on evidence,
not imagination!

Is that also my imagination?

Isn't that evidence, hard evidence?

I don't see it!

Not his face, not anything!

It's your pure imagination!

It's all in your head,

I'm telling you!

It's OK, guys.

Don't be scared. Sorry.

Don't mind them.

Sorry about it.

They're drunk.

Come on, guys.

You're too old to make a scene.

Act your age.

We can talk at home.

Wang Xiang, think about what I said.

If you're still so obsessed and won't let go,
your life will be ruined.

We've all lost our loved ones.

My wife died of cancer last year.

Then what? I should die, too?

It's not the same, OK?

Your wife died of disease.

She died on her bed in the hospital
and she could rest in peace.

But my son was not even 20
and he was found in the water!

How could I let it go?

It's OK...

Do you still want these?

What do you think?

Can I return them?

No, sorry, sir.

Pack them up.

(Hualin Taxi Pause)

What's that attitude?

I'm here for a solution,

OK?

I've been nothing but nice.

What do you want?

We want money, compensation!

Hey, guys...

Hey,

Ms. Xu, right?

What's wrong? You got a sty?

No! Shut up!

My eyes got double eyelids,
but look what your wife did!

A single and a double.

I can fix the single one.

No problem.

Yeah.

Just fix that eye for free as a gift.

That's not gonna happen.

What if you blind her?

It's cold. We can talk inside.

Why?

Are you afraid 'cause you're unlicensed?

Of course not.

Our business is legit.

Is that so?

Is there a license?

It's being processed.

So no!

We'll get it soon.

Very soon.

You're breaking the law, you know?

Ms. Xu, think about it.

If you go to any big hospital to do your eyes,
it'll cost six grand, right?

But here

I asked for two grand
plus ten percent off.

You got what you paid for,

OK?

You mean I had it coming?

I deserve it?

I didn't say that.

Listen...

Enough.

Are you picking a fight?

Say no more.

Call the cops.

Please don't!

Don't trouble the police.

Come on!

We can talk it out ourselves.

Pay for her damage.

It's not about the money.

But if you insist,

I'd say 150k.

Come again?

150k.

That's extortion!

What did you say?

You're extorting me!

150k is the least.

If I'm blind, you'll go to jail!

Calm down.

Look, we all worked in the same factory.

Don't be too harsh.

Maybe a discount for old times' sake?

How about 10k?

Give me the phone.

Call it in.

Who are you to think you're worth 140k?

Fine. Make the call!

Let the cops grab her
and give her ten years.

Go ahead.

Let's see if you'll get
any money from us.

Think about it.

We can talk it over.

She charged 1.8k,
and now, you're asking for 150k?

Why not make it a billion?

Like I had it.

So be practical.

How about this?

She paid you 1.8k, right?

So give that back plus 30k damages.

Am I that cheap?

Do I look like a beggar?

Give me the phone. I'm calling it!

Name your price.

100k.

I don't have it...

No bargaining, or we're done here!

Okay, 100k with a signed note.

Then there's no coming back!

Be careful.

Good day.

Sorry, ma'am.

See you, ma'am.

Stop calling me ma'am!

You look much older than me!

Pay up this week,
or I'll see you at the police station.

Yes, ma'am.

Eyes on the road. Hold her.

Hey, dude,

I'd like to sell my license.

Ask around for me.

What's it worth?

It's getting lower?

100k is fine.

I need cash.

Call me if there's a buyer.

Had too much corn.

Come on.

There, there.

I'm not blaming you.

And we've had it solved.

It's OK.

Where could I get 100k?

No worries. I'll handle it.

Easy-peasy.

It's all your fault!

You bought that license behind my back.

Hadn't it been for you,

I would've rented a shop
and none of this would've happened!

It's OK. Everything will be fine.

Don't touch me!

Money goes and comes.

Once my pigeons for racing are hatched,

I'll gain
tens of thousands by selling them.

It's no big deal if money can fix it.

Am I right?

How did we mess up so bad?

Don't be upset.

Once my pigeons lay eggs,
things will pick up.

We're going from primitive accumulation
to crossing class lines

toward financial freedom.

You know what that means?

Money is working for you,
not the other way around.

Make money with money, got it?

I wish I could be like you
always living in your dreams.

Is that bad?

Dreams are a reflection of reality.

Freud said that.

Biao, we should separate.

Bei's not at home. I'll take his room.

I'm not sure if he'll agree.

It's comfy. Try it.

I can't stretch my legs.

It's two-meter-long.

What about your room?

We can share a bed.

No way. I wake up easily.

Your teeth grinding, farts,
and smacks are nonstop.

I can't take that!

But I'm a guest,
not to mention we're related.

I'm heartbreaking because of Liru.

Can't you be nice to me?

If you two divorce,
we'll be mere coworkers.

What are you doing?

Smoke in the kitchen.

I'll go to the bathroom.

Even better.

Grab a pillow, will you?

Wash your feet before bed.

You stink.

What brings you here?

Am I unwelcome?

I'll get you a towel.

Biao?

What? I'm pooping!

No need.

I got news about Fu Weijun.

Last month, he died in prison.

He's dead.

Yep.

(Phone Booth)

Page 9532657.

Leave a message.

Weijun and I are now in Songhe.

Sir?

Hey!

Two coins on credit.

No credit.

Pay me or go home.

I'll pay you back
when my parents come back.

Just this once, please.

No can do.

Go away.

50 yuan's worth.

What's wrong?

No more coins?

Take these.

Thank you.

What... what were you playing?

KOF.

Are you good?

I'm OK.

I don't like playing with the machine.

Would you like to join me?

Oh, I...

I'll pay for it.

We'll use my coins.

OK.

I'll insert the coin.

What's... what's your name?

Shen Hui.

Hi.

There you are.

Let's go play games.

I can't.

My mom's waiting for me at home.

You're lying.

Aren't you staying at your grandma's?

Your... your parents
are out of town, aren't they?

They've come back?

That fast?

I... I really can't go.

My grandma will get worried
if she doesn't see me.

Are you turning your back on me?

You don't see me as...
as a friend, do you?

Fine.

I want my money back for the coins.

I... I don't have any.

I...

I swear.

Now what?

You... you won't find it in my bag.

I've got no money.

Then I'll report you to your teacher!

Hi.

He's asking you what you have

if you've got no money.

What do I have?

So what do you want?

So what do you want?

Your arm, or your leg.

Let me go!

Please, let me go!

I'm begging you!

Don't do this!

Please! Don't...!

Please!

Please don't hurt me!

Don't hurt me!

Let me go! I'm begging you!

Please...!

Normally, the two sides are attached
to two or more bones.

First, study the anatomical structure
and the organization of skeletal muscles

and the auxiliary apparatus.

Second, study the position and function
of the trapezius and latissimus dorsi.

Third, study the position and function

of the pectoralis major
and serratus anterior muscle

and the position, form, and function
of the diaphragm,

and the names
of its three major apertures.

Is everything OK, Aunt?

What's wrong?

It's all my fault.

I shouldn't have come here
to see the doctor.

Or Hui wouldn't have gotten hurt.

Quit it!

I'll check out the room.

Don't be too worried.

A broken arm isn't too bad.

It'll heal.

Excuse me?

But next time,
he might not be this lucky.

Go home and take care of my aunt.

Don't ever come back.

I will... k*ll you!

Mark my words!

I will k*ll you!

Yang, dinner is ready.

Eat without me, Mom.

Are you OK, Mom?

What's wrong?

I don't feel well.

What is it?

It'll pass.

I just need to eat something.

I can't breathe because of the smoke.

I'll be fine after dinner.

Come on.

Sit and eat with me.

Sit.

They're all your favorites.

Are you still mad at your dad?

He was trying to protect you.

If Xing Jianchun refused to let it go,
you wouldn't get into the factory.

Hurting you is the
last thing he wanna do.

He regretted it so much
that he couldn't sleep last night

and woke up with blisters on his mouth.

How could I not be mad?

He slapped me in front of everyone.

Besides, do I have to work
at the factory?

I know.

So that's decent,
and what I'm doing is not?

All work has equal value.

I can't believe he's so snobbish.

About that, you can't blame your dad

because our generation
is used to following orders.

We grew up in a big family.

We'd do whatever our parents said.

And when we started working,
we'd do whatever our bosses said.

People like us all seem

to live in a circle drawn by others.

And there we are following the direction
and living our life as it is.

Nobody has ever asked why
or tried to step out of it.

We'd be scared even on the edge.

The world is changing rapidly.

Every generation is different.

When you become a father,
you'll have problems, too.

But even so, you'll always be a family.

Don't hate your dad, OK?

I won't.

I'm not that petty.

That's my boy.

Come on. Let's eat.

Dig in.

Eat.

Mom,

I need to go out.

Eat something first.

I'm good.

Alright.

Don't be back too late.

I'm off, Mom.

See you later.

Hey, stop.

No late-night screenings today.

I'm here for Shen Mo.

She said she'd come.

You're here early.

Titanic?

We didn't get to watch it together.

Let's do it now.

Wang Yang.

Fu Weijun.

Let me see if it works.

Hey, did you and Shen Mo just meet?

She's never told me about you.

I'm talking to you.

He can't hear you.

Oh, I see.

Or there'd be a fight.

What did he say?

My brother said you're a little simple.

(Rose, you're no picnic, alright?)

(You're a spoiled little brat, even.)

(But under that,)

(You're the most amazingly
astounding, wonderful girl,)

(woman that I've ever known.)

(And...)

(Jack, I...)

(No, let me try to get this out.)

(I'm not an idiot.)

(I know how the world works.)

(I've got ten bucks in my pocket.)

(I have nothing to offer you
and I know that.)

(I understand.)

(But I'm too involved now.)

(You jump, I jump, remember?)

You're a Shen.

How come your brother is a Fu?

He's one year younger than me.

When our parents passed away,
we first went to my uncle's place.

My aunt didn't want him
because he was deaf

and gave him to a family in Hualin.

They named him Fu Weijun
and he's used to that name.

Then when they had their own kid,
he went to the orphanage.

I wanted to go to college in Hualin
so that I could see him.

(And you're gonna die
if you don't break free.)

He's the only family member I've left.

Now, you've got one more.

(Only you can do that.)

(I'm going back. Leave me alone.)

Cui Guodong!

Down here!

Who found it?

Joint Defense.

It's in the trench.

Let me see.

Careful.

Let me see it!

Make a hole.

Didn't you circle a few drain outlets?

Joint Defense was checking them
and found something here.

Wang Xiang is good.

Are you OK?

Whoever did that is a monster!

There's a bag in the trench, too.

They found a meal card
of Hualin Health Vocational College.

Put yourself together. Go back to work.

Get out of here!

Leave no stone unturned.

(Daxiang Film)

Such content is poison.

No wonder he couldn't get into college.

(Alu's Death)

"At this moment,

I'd rather die before my father
and have my mother's elegy

guard me and the four seasons."

What kind of poetry is that?

Nothing rhymes.

Where is it?

Did someone break in?

Dad.

Why do you have a protective suit?

I haven't used it for years.

I wore it when going climbing
with Qu Bo earlier.

It could keep me warm.

Where did you go? A snow mountain?

Where's our old map?

I think

I put it in a cookbook.

It's up there.

Why did you put it that high?

Hey, what do you need the map for?

It's for the dismemberment case.

I'm helping the police
watch over the factory.

I need to have a meeting
with Xing Jianchun.

What about lunch?

Justice prevails over food.

What a busybody!

Mr. Wang.

The train will gather rust
if it continues sitting there.

Relax.

There won't be
a single rusty screw cap under my watch.

The train will outlive you.

Isn't that Security's thermos?

Did they transfer you there?

I'm working on something else
and teaching the staff of Security.

You're teaching them?

I should find time
to teach you guys, too.

My lecture will be:

Keep Guard Up and Eyes Open.

Where are their manners?

Mr. Wang.

(Meeting at 1 p.m.!)

You're leaving? What about the meeting?

Where is everyone?

We're supposed to begin at 1 p.m.

Where are your people?

Look,

I just got a call from Mr. Ma.

He asked me to work with you
on the internal investigation.

Now, I know what to do.

Save it...

Speaking of this matter,
here's what I think.

Well, actually,

I think we're zeroing in on him.

Who is that?

Not sure yet, but I think
the k*ller did show up here.

You know why nobody came?

They're all on stakeouts.

Stakeouts?

That's right.

So?

Found anything?

Nothing yet.

Dazhi, tell Mr. Wang
what you saw that night.

So the other night,

I finished my shift and
brought my stuff to shower.

Then I passed the furnaces
and kept going and going.

Suddenly,

I heard something.

Like what?

I stopped, he stopped.

I walked, he walked.

Then I looked over toward the furnaces.

What did you see?

I saw a guy in full protective clothing
standing above the furnace.

Then he turned around, faceless.

Faceless?

I don't buy it.

If I lied,

I'd be a pig.

If you couldn't see his face, how
could you be sure that he's the k*ller?

I...

About that, think about it.

That guy cut a human in pieces.

He's more than ruthless.

You can pick up his murderous vibes!

Dazhi saw it.

You saw it, didn't you?

See?

So you didn't see anything
but his murderous vibes.

I'm serious.

You two may leave.

Wang Xiang,

I'm telling you, he's come once, and
it's possible that he'll come again.

I've mobilized everyone in my section.

Every entrance of every factory
and the main roads is now under watch.

We're looking for a male under 1.8 meters
with murderous vibes.

A male under 1.8 meters
with murderous vibes.

We've got hundreds of them
if not a thousand as poverty can bring out

the worst in people.

Wang Xiang, you're a senior worker.

You should set an example.

Steel-making Shop is
where the suspect was first spotted.

I want you to watch it.

Why?

Why not report it to Captain Ma?

We don't have proof yet.

Are you doing it or not?

If not, I'll assign someone else.

Wait! I will do it!

Why would I say no?

But my question is: why would he choose
this shop in particular?

When you catch him, ask him yourself.

What is it?

A whistle.

For what?

For you to blow.

If you see anything suspicious,
call for backup.

Take it.

Your shift is two hours.

Then we'll switch.

You?

And you?

A straight and a pair of sevens!

Show me your cards.

You need a pair of twos!

You stink!

Come on. Another round.

Here you go, Chief.

Wang Xiang is still on a stakeout.

And? You wanna take his spot?

No way.

He's craving credit even in his dreams.

I should wake him up.

How dare a humble driver
stick his nose into my section!

So what if you're from the bureau
or a captain in the police force?

I'll tell you this.

That won't work in Hualin Steel!

You rock!

Indeed!

That's right.

But, sir, what if
Dazhi did see the k*ller?

Wang Xiang would never catch him.

He meant to do that to save his job.

Nice try.

Liru!

Liru!

What took you so long?

I rushed over
from your hospital.

Why did you go there?

We agreed to meet here.

Something happened at work.

My boss, Director Zhao, got cornered
by two workers in the canteen.

They beat him up.

He was bleeding all over.

I had left,
but they called me back.

Those guys in my office
couldn't do anything.

I had to go back
and take care of the mess.

I'm off duty.

No more work-related topics.

Sorry.

You must be hungry.

Did you just get one for yourself?

Are we going to watch the movie or not?

We are! I picked that one in particular.

It's about a couple. Quite romantic.

Give me a sec.

I'm putting my bike here.

Where did you
get that baked sweet potato?

I'd like one, too.

I picked the wrong one.

I didn't know
they'd hook up like this.

When I saw the name,

I thought it'd be about Yu Dafu

or Lin Huiyin.
[*Both are famous Chinese writers.]

It is kinda sweet,
but the jumpy scenes make me dizzy.

That actor looks a bit like you.

Really?

They always said

I could be an actor,
but I chose academia.

Did Xiang tell you about me?

Who?

Mr. Wang.

Uh, not much, actually.

Here's the thing.

They say career before marriage.

Right now, my career is rising.

In Factory Affairs Office,

I'm only under Director Zhao.

Just say it. I can hear you.

Freud once said
a psychologically healthy person

should be able to do two things:

"lieben und arbeiten",
to love and to work.

In terms of work,

I'm practically way ahead of others.

So what I need is someone to love.

Who's Freud?

A scholar studying dreams.

Did he get an apartment?

No, he didn't work at our factory.

Do you have one?

Almost.

I've had a serious discussion
about it with Zhao.

You see,

Mr. Song values talents.

Based on my performance,

I'll be in the next batch
of housing allocation.

Liru, if you're dating someone,
what's your type?

I prefer the mature ones.

I excel at it.

Why is that?

They all say

I look older than my age.

Watch the movie. Don't move.

It's your hair.

What's there to watch anyway?

I'm not interested in those guys.

(Hualin Cinema)

Liru, wait.

I'll give you a ride.

Hop on.

You're going back to the dorm, right?

I'm going the other way.

The earth is round.

Whichever way we take,
we'll get there eventually.

Thanks, but no.

How about we watch another movie later?

We'll see. Bye.

Who unplugged my valve core?

Did you see it, sweet potato guy?

Mr. Wang!

Mr. Wang, are you hungry?

How about we go and grab a bite?

Stand up.

Why?

Now, turn.

What's this about?

How tall are you?

1.8 meters.

Really?

1.785 without my shoes
and 1.8 with them.

I mean,
you work in Factory Affairs Office.

Why put on such a suit?

What are you up to?

Safety first, right?

Suit up
before entering the Steel-making Shop.

Aren't you cautious?

Sit.

How did you know where to find me?

I went to Locomotives first.

They said you had a meeting
with Security.

When I got there,
they said to try my luck at the crane.

And here you are,
waiting to be hooked.

Say what?

Hooked?

I didn't mean that.

This is a hook.

Yeah.

Also, I chose to expose myself.

Otherwise, you wouldn't have found me.

Yes, of course.

You were so good at hiding.

I... I put it the wrong way.

Forget about that potato.

Let's go out and talk over proper food.

My treat.

There's no such thing as a free meal.

What's this about?

It's about Liru and me.

We need a push.

I don't think so.

Didn't you go to the cinema?

Don't get me started.

That movie was a bad choice.

It's not about that.

Mr. Wang, your help will be appreciated.

Where did you get that booze?

Mr. Song gave it to me.

Song Yukun gave you this?

A friend of mine taught
his son English for free.

So he gave me that in return.

He said it's quite aged.

It's old enough to be your uncle.

As long as Liru and I can get together,
it can be my grandpa. I mean it.

Is your office busy lately?

Why?

If you're free,

I could use your help with the
ongoing internal investigation.

Sure. No problem.

Your wish is my command.

So Liru and I...?

Wait for the good news.

Is it cooked?

Can I have a bite?

It tastes good!

Captain Ma,
this is Shen Mo's guidance counselor.

Ma Desheng, Criminal Police Unit.

Hello.

So, is that Shen Mo's stuff?

Hey, let's sit.

Shen Mo was from Songhe.

She seemed to be shy and quiet.

Academically, she was above average.

She didn't cause us too much trouble
except for

that incident earlier.

What happened?

Is it sensitive?

Where did you get these?

Those photos and that letter
were found on the bulletin board

outside the school canteen
in the morning on the 20th.

The letter also said

Shen Mo was an escort in a brothel,

drinking and sleeping with her clients.

Why didn't you call the police?

Our school was concerned
about our reputation.

I had heard such rumors
from other students.

Her life outside campus
seemed to be complicated.

And there was this boy
who came all the time.

Yes. That's right.

He even wrote a letter of apology
in the Dean's Office.

How about we call it a day, Mr. Wang?

I need to go back to my office
in case they need me.

What's this mess?

Go easy.

Don't ruin my pants.

Shed a light.

Over there.

Keep going!

This is the farthest I can go.

That's it. Yeah.

Don't move. That's the one.

Mr. Wang!

Mr. Wang!

Right here.

Bad news, Mr. Wang!

What's wrong?

Your wife said on the phone
that the police took your son away!

(Hualin Public Security Bureau)

(The police should serve the people.)

What's wrong?

Answer my question!

Mr. Wang, calm down.

We brought him in
for asking him something about a case.

Now, we're done. He can go home.

What case?

What is it?

Say it!

Stop!

Did I say you can leave?

Hey, is Captain Ma in his office?

Keep an eye on him, will you?

Captain Ma,

I thought you went out.

I'm glad you're here.

What happened to my son, Yang,

Captain Ma?

Is Wang Yang your son?

Yeah.

He was dating this girl, Shen Mo.

You know that?

Shen Mo?

I don't know
they were seeing each other.

You can ask him when you get back.

I'm done here.

Tell your son
he can't get out of town these days.

We might bring him in
for questioning again.

I see.

Sir,

I found something in the factory...

Mr. Wang,
you shouldn't come here again.

And stay away from this case.

Your job is to drive trains.

But I'm your Watson, right?

Stories aren't reality.

I prefer Raymond Chandler.
[*A renowned American crime writer.]

Guodong, show Mr. Wang out.

Chan... Chandler who?

Mr. Wang.

Let's go.

Sure.

Sir, I...

Coming.

Look what you've done!

You even had a girlfriend?

What happened to her?

I have said everything to the police.

She died, you know that?

I told you not to work at the
wrong place, but you didn't listen.

When we get home, you're grounded

until this case is solved.

You can't go out before that.

Stop!

You can't run away from the problem!

You can tell me whatever happened.

Where's Yang?

Why didn't he come back with you?

He'll be back in no time.

What did the police say?

Nothing really. It's fine.

Really? But why did the police need him?

Hey, wait!

I'm... I'm talking to you!

I called you to pick up my son.

Where is he now?

My heart is racing!

Are you sure he's OK?

Don't fool me.

He's my son, too.

I won't let anything happen to him.

When will he get back?

Stop following me around.

You're giving me a headache!

I need to lie down.

I'm having one, too!

Quit it.

(ME's Office)

Captain, they're Shen Mo's next of kin.

They came from Songhe
for the identification.

Head of the Criminal Police Unit,

Ma Desheng.

Hello.

Captain Ma,

I was born here, too,
and worked in the city

a few years back.

I've got connections in your bureau.

Are you done?

Li Qun, bring him to the office.

This way, please.

Is there anything else?

The investigation is still ongoing.

I need to ask you
about Shen Mo's recent life.

Well, we've booked return tickets.

The train waits for no men.

I'm quite busy.

I need to go back to Songhe.

It's not like we can do it
on the train, right?

We're all busy.

OK.

We'll comply.

Stop crying.

Let's go.

Captain, that guy strikes me as odd.

How so?

He reminds me of you.

No way!

I mean he doesn't look like her father.

That's because he isn't.

He's her uncle.

He adopted Shen Mo.

(The police should serve the people.)

Come here.

Take a look.

You've got sharp eyes.

Look at this.

There are two characters on the
thermos next to the nightstand.

What's the last one?

The paint's scraped off.

I know. That's why I need your help.

"Hui". It's "Hui".

Am I right?

Captain Ma,
Director Zhu is calling for a meeting.

This late?

Here you go.

Eat it after the meeting.

I need water. I'm thirsty.

It's empty.

Come on!

Director.

Take a seat.

Sir...

That so-called Hong Kong businessman is
actually from Zhanjiang, Guangdong.

His company is registered
in Hong Kong, China.

He contacted his driver on the fifth,
then he's gone radio silent since.

Before he disappeared,
he received a bank draft

worth 800 grand from Hualin Steel.

The bank said
the money had been withdrawn,

Now, we believe this case might
be more than a simple fraud.

Do you know any of that,

Ma Desheng?

Aren't you their captain?

I'm working around the clock.

I need results!

The dismemberment case
is no longer your concern.

Police Corps will take over.

Your priority now is
to follow the money.

Find out who withdrew it.

Sure, sure.

Of course.

I'll do it, but not now.

Wait until I get back from Songhe.

Why are you going there?

The one who took nude photos of Shen Mo
and wrote the anonymous letter

must be someone she knew.

I have to go there.

Alone.

I need to check with her family again.

Ma Desheng,
did you not hear what I just said?

I can't do anything else.

Her remains are right there!

But we're so close to solving that case.

What if the suspect got away?

Ma Desheng, as a police officer, you
have to do your best in every single case!

Yes, I am!

So I have to catch that m*rder*r!

Sir, regarding that missing businessman,

I've got a theory.

I can fill in for Captain
Ma to trace the money.

Enough.

This has nothing to do with you.

Why?

He's one of us, too.

(The police should serve the people.)

Your wallet!

It's late.

Are you driving there alone?

Why?

Are you coming with me?

Get in. I'll be your driver.

You stay and help Li Qun
trace the money.

I'm fine.

I'll be back tomorrow morning.

Don't bring that guy up.

You saw what he was like just now.

He meant to step in.

Who does he think he is?

That rat!

He took the b*llet for me.

Alright. Gotta go.

Got a cigarette?

Why? Are you done quitting it?

Never mind.
