(Wu: I've failed. Farewell, Sir.)

(Delete)

(Delete message? Confirm)

(Deleted)

Book me a flight.

No,

make that two tickets.

The next flight

to Qinmang.

(Linshan City Police Bureau)

Right now, both Dingshun's transaction records

and Liu Gang's statement

are pointing the blame

at Ye Xiuming.

But just

when we were about to summon Ye Xiuming,

something happened to him.

And

Liu Gang also mentioned

that Wu only takes orders from Cripple.

We discovered

that the true owner of Jiji Trading

is Wu Bin.

Also, the footwear impression expert examined the scene

where Ye Xiuming fell

and confirmed he was pushed.

The attacker's description matches

Wu Bin.

Bring Wu Bin in right away.

Zilin,

there is a project in Qinmang

that requires both of us to be there.

I booked today's flight.

We can leave now.

So pack your things.

You can go alone.

I need to stay here and look after Xiuming

and Qian.

I've already arranged

the best doctors and nurses for Mr. Ye.

As for Qian,

she should already be in Qinmang.

What do you mean?

I'll wait for you in the car.

Qian!

Ms. Fang.

Qian!

Ms. Fang,

didn't Mr. Wu say you were taking Qian

to Qinmang for a trip?

Why are you back?

Where's Qian?

Someone already picked her up early this morning.

Hello, Yanyan.

Wu Bin took Qian

to Qinmang.

I don't know if that's true.

But now he wants me to go to Qinmang with him.

Okay, got it.

Do you know

what time Qian was taken?

I was told this morning.

Zilin,

I think Wu Bin is faking it.

Qian might not have left the country.

Just stall him

and make sure you're safe.

And don't turn off your phone,

okay?

Okay.

All right.

I understand.

Jiajia.

Yes?

Track Fang Zilin's phone.

Don't lose her.

Got it.

Mr. Wu, watch the house.

Okay.

Yan Lei,

Wu Bin is taking Fang Zilin to the airport.

Get over there now.

Got it.

Rui, change of plans. We're not going to Dingshun.

Wu Bin is making a run.

Director wants us to head straight to the airport.

Where exactly did you take Qian?

Don't worry.

I'd never hurt Qian.

Or you.

But taking her without telling me

already hurts me.

Wu Bin,

we've known each other for years.

Xiuming and I both trust you, right?

Why are you doing this to us?

It's not too late to stop now.

I can help you.

And I'm sure

Xiuming is willing to help you too.

We'll talk when he wakes up.

What do you mean?

This isn't the way to the airport.

Where are you taking me?

Answer me.

Where are you taking me?

Captain Han,

we tracked Fang Zilin's phone.

(Qinmang) Wu Bin's car isn't going

toward the airport.

It's heading to the Qinmang border.

(Qinmang)

Jiajia just messaged. Wu Bin isn't heading to the airport.

He's going to the Qinmang border.

Where are you taking me?

This isn't the way to the airport.

You kidnapped Qian,

and now you're taking me here.

What are you up to?

Don't tell me

you're the one who pushed Xiuming.

Forget about him.

Just think about how happy we'll be together.

Look at this transfer slip.

All the money

is already in an overseas account.

Are you insane?

You're mad.

You're crazy!

Give me the phone.

We trusted you for so many years!

Give me the phone!

You're crazy!

I'll let you hear Qian's voice!

Give it to me!

I want...

Give me the phone!

Give it back!

Wu Bin! Give me the phone!

Stop the car! Stop!

Zilin!

I'll take you to Qian right now.

I'll take you there now.

Trust me.

Okay?

You'll see her soon.

(Yan Lei, the immigration department says)

(there's no record of Qian leaving the country.)

(She's probably still in Linshan.)

(We'll split up.)

(I've sent Ai Xin and Feng)

(to look for Qian.)

(You and Chang Rui will join the Criminal Police Unit)

(to keep tracking Wu Bin.)

(Don't let them cross the border.)

(Yes.)

Ye Xiuming's neighbor saw

the nanny taking Qian

this way.

We checked the surveillance.

Two people who looked a lot like Qian

and the nanny did come by.

Let's split up and search.

Okay.

Qian is right ahead.

Qian.

Qian.

Qian.

Over here, quick.

Excuse me.

This is Fang Zilin's daughter,

and you're her nanny, right?

Yes, I am.

Why did you come here?

Mr. Wu instructed us to wait for Zilin,

who would come to get us later.

Is something wrong?

Nothing.

Feng, call the Director.

Okay.

We're almost there.

Where's Qian?

I don't want to go any further.

Just another half an hour,

and we can start a new life.

What do you mean?

What do you mean by we can start a new life

in half an hour?

Zilin,

just keep walking for half an hour.

You lied to me, didn't you?

Qian isn't here, is she?

Did you trick me?

You tricked me into coming here, didn't you?

Tell me, Wu Bin.

Did you trick me?

Zilin.

Zilin, listen to me.

Are you out of your mind?

All these years,

we've helped you,

treated you well, and supported you.

This is how you repay us?

Yes, I tricked you.

If I didn't,

would you have come here?

All you ever care about is Ye Xiuming!

So

you were the one who spread all those rumors

in the company, right?

I always saw you

as my benefactor.

Later, I even considered you a close friend.

My husband and I treated you

as our most trusted partner.

And this is how you treat us?

So you think you and your husband are my benefactors?

Listen here!

I achieved everything

through my own ability!

Without me,

would Dingshun be where it is today?

We built Dingshun together!

What does Ye Xiuming know?

He only came back

because he ran out of money in Shencheng!

Where was he before that?

All right, I got it.

Rui,

Ai Xin says they've found Qian.

Tell the Director.

We'll split into three teams!

Move out.

Director,

we've spotted Wu Bin's car.

Zilin, I'm begging you.

Let me go.

Zilin!

Let's go.

Let me go!

Wu Bin!

Zilin, listen to me. Just a few more steps

and we can have a new life!

Zilin!

Wu Bin!

Let her go!

Don't come any closer!

(China)

Wu Bin,

if you let her go now,

you might still get a lighter sentence.

Nobody move!

Wu Bin,

calm down.

I'm in charge here.

If you have something to say, say it to me.

I want Officer Deng.

Bring her here.

Deng Yan.

Be careful.

Yes, Sir.

Stay right there.

So we finally meet,

human trafficker, Cripple.

Human trafficker?

Officer Deng,

you can't kill me.

Let us leave.

Wu Bin,

calm down.

If you want to talk, we can talk.

Just put the knife down first.

If you let us go,

I'll tell you where Lin Ran is.

Wu Bin,

you've destroyed so many families.

Don't you feel even a little remorse?

I will find Lin Ran.

But don't make things worse for yourself.

It's not too late to turn back now.

Turn back?

How?

This is how society works.

The survival of the fittest.

I got what I wanted

in my own way.

Is that wrong?

Listen here.

Don't you know what you did is a crime?

A crime?

Do you have proof?

If I were lucky,

you'd never have caught me.

Wu Bin,

you overestimated yourself.

Do you think we'd be here without proof?

And I believe

you don't want to hurt Zilin, right?

Put the knife down.

That won't work on me.

Officer Deng, you've been looking for Lin Ran for years.

Don't you want to know where she is?

I can tell you.

And I have money.

I know

police salaries aren't much.

I have money.

I have a lot of it.

I can give

you and your colleagues enough money to last a lifetime.

All you have to do is let Zilin

and me go.

I'm not yours.

I'm not yours.

I'm not going with you.

You're insane.

- You've lost your mind. - Sniper in position.

I'm begging you, Zilin.

- Please let me go. - Zilin, listen.

- Zilin. - Please let my child go.

Don't do this.

- Zilin. - I'm not yours.

I'm not going with you.

I'm not yours.

Zilin, hear me out.

Zilin, calm down.

Have you forgotten about Qian? If you work with me,

you'll see Qian soon.

Just let us leave!

Calm down, Wu Bin.

If you really love Zilin, let her go.

If you continue to be stubborn,

Zilin will end up dying because of you.

Do you really want

to watch the person you love die in front of you?

Shut up!

Fire.

Xiuming.

Xiuming.

Xiuming.

Xiuming.

Xiuming.

I'm here.

I'm here.

I'm right here.

Zilin...

I knew you'd wake up.

I knew you'd wake up.

I knew you wouldn't leave me.

It is

all my fault.

Give me another chance

to love you

properly.

While you were unconscious,

I kept apologizing to you.

I know I've made many mistakes.

I'm sure you heard it all, right?

Where's Qian?

Qian can already say "Daddy."

She even asked,

"Where's Daddy?

When is Daddy taking me to the amusement park?"

So, when are you taking her?

Now.

We'll go right now.

I knew you couldn't bear to leave me.

While I was unconscious,

did you kiss me too?

Every day, I would say "I love you" many times.

Before I leave,

I would kiss your forehead

so tenderly.

Every day, I would say,

"Xiuming, please wake up.

I promise I'll never argue with you again,

okay? I love you."

I love you.

I love you.

I will love you.

For eternity.

(Linshan City Police Bureau)

That little boy from Wanshui

had just learned to talk, right?

Later, an agent introduced him

to an old couple in Linshan

and sold him to them.

I still remember

the look in his eyes.

How do I describe it?

It makes my heart ache.

But I had no choice.

That was his fate.

You still haven't told us about Lin Ran.

Where did you sell her?

Wu Bin.

At this point,

there's no point in hiding your crimes.

Yeah.

It has already come to this point.

Maybe this is my fate too.

I'll accept it.

I will tell you

everything I know.

But I really don't know

where Lin Ran is.

If I knew,

I would've told you already.

What do you mean?

That was my very first deal when I entered the trade.

So I remember it clearly.

My master was still around then.

He handled it.

But the person who sold her out was Wai.

As for where Wai sold her,

you'll have to ask him.

Who was your master?

Where is he now?

He died a long time ago.

That old geezer was the real Cripple.

He made so much money

but never gave me a cent.

So I sent him

where

he deserved to go.

Everyone only knew the name "Cripple" in this trade.

So I use the name for myself.

Everyone thought there was only one Cripple.

But it was just a code name.

(Interrogation Room) You already know

what happened after that.

Director.

Based on Wu Bin's testimony,

we found this in Zhou Hongcai's case evidence.

Number 8610?

It's October 1986.

That was when Lin Ran was abducted.

Could the symbols above the numbers

(Tingchang) be a location code?

(Help Find My Daughter)

(Tuanyuan Restaurant)

(Missing Person)

(Reunion Night, Welcome Home)

Say "Grandma."

Look at me.

Look at me.

He's startled.

His hands are so soft.

Yes, he's adorable.

Call "Grandma."

That's right.

How sweet.

Oh, let me hold you.

Come here, let me hold you.

(Let me carry.)

(Good boy.)

Madam Zhang.

Madam Zhang?

Madam Zhang.

How did it go?

Please, have a seat.

Please sit.

I'll get some water.

I’ve taken care of everything

you asked me to do.

Thank you so much.

Now

I can go to the nursing home

with peace of mind.

Do you really have to go?

Lawyer Sun,

you see,

sometimes I'm clear-headed, sometimes I'm not.

I can't really

be on my own.

You still have many volunteers around.

They all have

their own lives

to take care of too.

I can't keep troubling them.

Enough said.

I've made up my mind.

Then

the Tuanyuan Restaurant

will close down.

No.

I called you here today

to talk

about this.

Meiyu,

come here.

Okay, coming.

Come here.

(Linshan City Welfare Home)

Officer Chang called me.

These are the adoption papers.

Thank you, Madam.

You can take your sister home now.

They really want to adopt me?

Yes.

Luoluo,

ever since I saw you last time,

I've dreamed about you every night.

I'm sorry.

I wasn't capable enough

to take you with me then.

Thankfully,

some kind-hearted people donated to cover your living expenses.

That lightened our parents' burden

and now...

Luoluo,

I will keep my promise to you.

Officer Chang.

Yes.

This is

what Luoluo left for you.

(Always be with Dad)

Madam,

please return this to her.

She now has a real,

loving father.

Meiyu.

Yes?

While

I'm still clear-headed,

I asked Lawyer Sun

to help me sell

my house.

After covering my nursing home fees,

what's left is enough

to keep this restaurant running for quite a while.

Today, I'm handing it over to you.

Madam Zhang,

I can't accept this.

This is such a huge matter.

Meiyu,

I'm sure you are aware

of my situation lately.

I really can't manage the restaurant anymore.

Take it.

All right, Madam Zhang.

How about this?

We'll keep running it for you.

When you're fully recovered,

you can come back and manage it.

She's right.

(Searching For Reunion, Holding on For Love)

I used

to see people putting up missing person notices.

It always made me feel both sad and relieved.

I was sad

because another family had been torn apart.

But I felt relieved

because their loved ones

never gave up searching.

My happiest moments were

when the children were finally found.

Then I would take down

the missing person's notice.

These days,

I forget a lot of things.

But

I clearly remember

every child the restaurant helped reunite

with their family.

Madam Zhang,

this place has helped many families go

from broken to whole again.

For many, it feels like home.

That's why

we have to keep

Tuanyuan Restaurant going,

no matter what.

Don't you agree?

Madam Zhang,

you're the heart of this place.

Don't worry.

We'll do everything we can

to keep it running.

(Chang Yongjun's Tomb)

(Chang Yongjun was an outstanding officer.)

(He gave his life to exemplify the ideals of a party member)

(and the mission of the police force.)

(His spirit will forever be engraved in the hearts of the people,)

(inspiring future generations to move forward.)

(The little girl I told you about before, Luoluo,)

(was taken in by her sister.)

(She finally has a new home)

(and a new dad.)

He's my dad, and he's a police officer.

He's amazing.

I have a dad now!

(At first, when she called me "Dad,")

(I resisted.)

My dad is here!

(I resisted)

(because that word)

(reminded me of you,)

(my own father.)

Do you think I'm a good police officer?

Of course.

You're a good police officer.

Why?

Because you've caught many bad guys.

(You were not a great dad.)

(But now I understand)

(you were just doing what you had to do.)

(He gave his life...)

(That's the life of an officer.)

(Maybe it's a regret I have to carry.)

(No matter how much I resisted,)

(I still became you.)

(And from now on,)

(I'll take on)

(the same responsibility,)

(protecting every home like you did.)

(Because I am your son.)

(I should get going now.)

(I'll come visit when I can,)

(Dad.)

(Linshan City Police Bureau)

I've figured it out.

(Ren, Ding, Tu, Fen. Tingchang) These are actually two characters.

Two?

But aren't there four characters?

They're called second-simplified characters.

They used to be written like this.

These writings

were phased out in the country in the second half of 1986.

But some middle-aged and older people

still use them out of habit.

In standard simplified characters,

it should be written this way.

(Tingchang)

Tingchang.

That's why I believe

the clue in his stomach points

to Tingchang Village.

Feng, search Tingchang Village.

Got it.

(There are 23 Tingchang Villages found in six provinces.)

Found it.

Across the country, there are 23 Tingchang Villages

in six provinces.

Director,

should we issue

a joint investigation notice?

Do it, quickly.

Yes.

Director,

these are records of the abducted victims

found based on Wu Bin's statement.

Many have already been confirmed with the local police stations.

That's great.

(Case File)

We must find

every one of them

and send them home.

(Tingchang Village)

Looking back,

(2010 Linshan PSB Awards Ceremony) our Linshan City Anti-abduction Office

has achieved a series of remarkable results

in the fight

against the trafficking of women and children.

However,

behind those achievements

are countless nights of stakeouts,

countless trips across the country,

and countless challenges.

For this,

we award

the Linshan City Anti-abduction Office

the honor of a collective second-class merit.

(Collective Second-Class Merit)

Thank you,

Chief Xiao.

Thank you, Captain Han,

and thank you to every one of my colleagues.

I feel deeply moved

as I stand here, holding this hard-earned

Collective Second-Class Merit.

First,

I want to thank my teammates.

We are not just colleagues.

We are family.

(We encourage each other)

(and we support each other.)

Investigating anti-trafficking

is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

It's hard to sort out.

You do not need me to comfort you.

You are the backbone of our Anti-abduction Office,

right?

Because you are someone with conviction.

A person with conviction

cannot be bought

or corrupted.

You will return to the team.

No one is born fearless.

We all stumbled our way forward through the dark.

(Countless moments of hardship are still fresh in my mind.)

The victims...

(Linshan Public Security Bureau Petitions Office)

do not want to hear how hard you have worked.

What they want is a result.

What are the police even doing?

I only want to know

why you could not rescue

my daughter sooner.

If anything happens to her,

(We've been misunderstood) I'm coming after you!

(and falsely accused.)

(Even our comrades)

(have given their lives for this cause.)

(But we never gave up.)

(Today's honor)

(also belongs to my respected senior)

(and comrade.)

Officer Yin Jiansheng.

Of course,

we've also seen the joy and gratitude

of those victims as they regained their freedom.

(Being a police officer has never been just a job.)

(It is a choice,)

(a passion,)

(a conviction,)

(and a responsibility.)

(From the moment we put on this uniform,)

(we vowed to protect our land)

(and keep our people safe.)

The fight against the trafficking of women and children

is a long and heavy task.

We believe that one day, not too far from now,

there will be no trafficking anywhere.

For that day,

we will never stop fighting.

The People's Police

will never back down!

(2010 Linshan PSB Awards Ceremony)

(Under the leadership of higher authorities)

(and with support from other police units,)

(the Linshan City Police Bureau)

(remains committed to putting people first)

(and cracking down)

(on major local crimes.)

(After over 20 years of effort,)

(the police cracked a major trafficking ring led)

(by Wu Bin and Liu Gang,)

(rescuing many women and children.)

(We salute the police who remain steadfast on the front line!)

(We look forward to a world free from trafficking!)
