(Glory of Special Forces)

(This series is Shanghai's major literary and artistic project)

(Episode 27)

I got this all by myself.

Whatever you say,

Young Master.

Everyone knows the detachment commander is sending you for further study.

Of course the Most Outstanding Soldier award can only be yours.

Yue Kong of 3rd Platoon, 1st Squadron.

Someone is here to see you.

It must be his dad.

Jin, Wang,

what are you doing here?

What are you doing?

What's wrong with you?

It's Dai Jin's birthday.

Didn't you ask me to bring Dai Jin here today for her birthday?

Oh, right.

Come on, let's show my comrades

how beautiful my girlfriend is.

That's enough.

I know you.

Just admit that you forgot.

I... I didn't forget.

I remember it every day.

I've been waiting for today.

-Let's go. -You're so fake.

It's so late now.

Are you sure it's safe for you to go home alone?

You are not allowed to leave.

(Military Control Area) Don't worry.

I should've let Wang take you home.

I don't want to.

I want to stay with my Kong.

I'm sorry

for not being around.

What do you want for your birthday?

Just one present isn't enough.

I want a Doraemon.

I am Doraemon.

No matter how many presents you want, I'll give it to you.

I don't need so many gifts,

I just want you to always be with me.

I'll always be with you.

It's good that

you're getting discharged soon.

Jin.

I

don't want to get discharged.

Pardon me?

I want to sign up for the special forces squadron.

Jin... Jin!

-Stay back. -Jin!

-Stay back! -Jin...

You should've seen this coming

when you made that decision!

Jin...

Go.

Congratulations.

You've passed the selections and assessments.

You've been selected by Cheetah.

But this is just the beginning.

The beginning of becoming a qualified special forces member.

What awaits you afterward is

more inhumane training.

We will restructure your body

and refine your minds.

Here,

your value will be maximized.

(Cheetah Special Forces) Capability is everything.

Hello, Wang.

Have you seen Dai Jin lately?

I haven't been able

to reach her lately.

(When I called her home, no one picked up.)

I don't know either.

I haven't spoken

to her lately.

Then, can you help me find her?

(Okay.)

Since when?

Since the day

you decided to join special forces.

My mum has waited for my dad her entire life.

In the end, all she got was a martyr medal.

I grew up watching her being worried and in fear.

I've had enough of it.

Yue Kong, you know that.

The moment you decided to become a special forces member,

it's over between us.

(Double Happiness)

Yue Kong!

Captain Qin!

What's going on with you? You are completely off.

I've been standing behind you for so long.

You aren't being alert at all!

-I am useless! -You take that three words back!

Cheetah has no useless people.

Joining Cheetah

is a symbol of glory!

Are you regretting it?

No, sir!

But

I think I made a mistake!

Yue Kong,

do you know what is the scariest thing

for a sniper?

It's not skills,

not the harsh environment,

not the powerful enemy,

but self-doubt.

A great sniper

is like a bullet that is fired.

Once a bullet leaves its chamber,

it never has doubt over the direction it's heading to!

If something is bothering you,

go and fix it.

And then,

do what you should do.

How should I fix it?

It's simple.

Face it.

Force yourself to accept it.

No matter how painful it is,

let it run over your heart.

It's fine if you can't let go,

but you must be clear-headed and tell yourself

what choice you should make.

Captain Qin.

I'd like to take leave.

Granted!

Fire!

Report, sir!

Yue Kong requests to get back in line!

-Go! -Yes, sir!

Yue,

after hearing your story,

I finally realized something.

You got two-timed.

That's mean.

You had it coming.

Scumbag.

-You were quite a scumbag indeed. -Exactly.

Fine, fine. I'm a scumbag.

I had it coming.

So now,

I can only wish them happiness.

Yue,

so you are

still single now?

So what if I'm single?

Are you going to introduce a girl to me?

No introduction is needed.

There is one sitting

right in front of you.

You guys are a team, right?

You can communicate more

in combat and life.

I will communicate with you now!

A filthy mouth can't utter decent things.

-Serve you well. -It was just a joke.

Don't be mad.

Don't be mad. Don't be mad.

What do you think?

Want to watch back the video from ten days ago?

No need.

These ten days together

were like six months for them.

This experiment

is quite successful.

It's a pity that

only Yan Po Yue that brat hasn't opened up.

He's still putting a wall between himself and others.

That's right.

He's like a stone, nothing can warm him up.

He's more like an egg.

Tough on the outside.

But once you crack it open,

his heart is softer than anyone's.

Yan Po Yue,

you're the only one who hasn't told your story.

My story is boring.

All the more reason you should tell us.

While listening to you,

it'll help everyone to fall asleep.

Go to sleep.

I'll tell you when we wake up.

Once I'm done,

the training will be over.

How do you know?

This is just

how he is.

One minute he's talking,

the next he's already snoring.

Let's go to sleep.

Wake up!

It's morning.

Wake up!

Hurry up.

The training has ended. Get ready to leave.

It's over?

-Yes. -Ten days have passed.

Today is the morning of the 11th day.

Really?

All we do is eat and sleep all day long.

I got all confused.

Hurry up.

How did you do it?

What?

Being locked up in the basement

will gradually lose the sense of time.

You may still be able to time in the first or second day.

But ever since we came in,

you seem to know every cycle of

day and night very well.

That's right.

Even we veterans in Cheetah

can't do this.

You're just a new recruit.

How can you be sure this is the 10th day?

Because I was imprisoned once.

The place was smaller than this one.

There was no bed

or toilet.

I was locked up for a whole month.

Was it a confinement

or a training?

When I was little,

several accomplices of a drug dealer who my father had caught,

abducted me

on my way home after school to get back at my father.

They locked me up in a cellar.

There were many other kids locked up inside.

They were caught by human trafficker,

waiting for their buyer.

There was no light

and no sound all day long.

Fear and loneliness were infinitely magnified.

Just for a little amount of food,

every day, we all fought and snatched

like dogs.

But no one dared to resist or run away,

because it would only get us more beating.

Finally, one day,

I climbed out,

but no one was willing to run away with me.

They kept yelling...

Somebody! Someone is running away!

Somebody! Someone is running away!

Because if they caught me,

they would get a piece of corn in return.

And I kept running.

I ran like hell.

I didn't know where I could run to.

After that, did you get out?

What kind of question is that?

If he hadn't gotten away, who is talking with you right now?

-What a stupid question. -Exactly.

I ran all the way to the border post.

And I was saved.

Later, the troops found the cellar.

All the kids in there were rescued.

My dad thought that this happened

not because he wasn't vigilant enough,

but because I was too weak.

And I wanted to protect myself too.

After that,

he started to

give me military training.

Five kilometers run.

Weight-bearing race.

Combat training.

Those were the things I had to finish every day after school.

Even during summer and winter break.

I trained every day.

How old were you at that time?

First grade.

That explains it.

I was wondering how a pretty boy like you became so strong.

I've trained more than you.

But I was traumatized.

I've never told anyone.

Whenever I was in an enclosed space,

and when there was someone in there with me,

my heart would beat faster

and I would sweat.

I would feel uncomfortable.

If I was in there longer,

I would even have difficulty breathing.

I remember it now.

It was like that time in the confinement cell

when we just joined the army, right?

-Yan? -Yan?

-Yan! -Go get help! Go!

Somebody!

-Yan? -Somebody, help!

Yan Po Yue is dying! Come now!

I locked myself up

in a dark room,

and tried to overcome it.

You have severe insecurity

and trust issue.

I knew the way,

but it was difficult to treat it.

Until last time,

during Hell Week,

I fell into hunter's trap.

In order to save me,

Guo Xiao Xiao came down after me.

We tried to climb out over and over again.

But we failed.

That was the day I suddenly realized

I didn't palpitate

and sweat.

That means

you trusted Xiao Xiao.

Yes.

At that moment,

I understood how important

my comrades are to me.

This time,

over the past ten days,

when I was with you all,

I never

had those symptoms again.

Thank you all.

You cured me.

-That's enough. -Cut it out.

We're all friends.

You should've told me about it sooner. I would've cured you already.

This is great.

These ten days were not wasted.

-Yes. -At least we healed you.

That's right.

And your reward

is five extra pounds of fat.

And you got eight pounds.

Come out.

The mission is over.

It's been ten days since you last saw me.

How are you?

Did you miss me?

I get it.

I locked you up in the basement.

No sunshine all day.

You all must

really hate me.

Do you have anything you want to say to me?

Do you have any question?

Yan Po Yue.

-Yes, sir! -Any questions?

No, sir!

Do others have questions?

No, sir!

I told you,

Squad 9 will have no questions.

At ease!

Congratulations to

all of you for passing the mental training.

Through this period of examination and analysis of your abilities,

special forces brigade

will make arrangements

to divide you for specialized training.

You have one day to rest.

Your training starts tomorrow!

Yes, sir!

(Due to)

(political instability and military conflicts)

(in the Region M,)

(more and more government forces)

(and guerrillas are intruding into drug trades,)

(which greatly reducing)

(the survival space of Red Scorpion.)

(A defeated anti-government troop)

(has retreated into Red Scorpion's territory,)

(and has clashes with the organization frequently.)

(Faced with the choice of war or truce,)

(Kun Sheng and Xing Tian are in disagreement again.)

Daddy Kun,

these guys who retreated to our place clearly want to conquer us.

They have lots of men,

but our weapons are better.

They attacked intermittently

because they're worried that they couldn't defeat us.

Trying to get some advantage from us.

We should either take them in,

or destroy them.

If they join forces

with others,

we'll be in trouble.

If we take them in,

do we have enough food to feed them?

We will figure out a way.

The market is very competitive now.

Too many competitors

are trying to get a slice of pie in the market.

Having more people will add to our trouble.

Baby,

it's time to eat.

Daddy Kun,

but they refuse to leave,

even if we get into a fight and manage to wipe them out,

our forces will be weakened too.

Our neighboring competitors will certainly take advantage of us then.

We'll trade our supplies,

food and American dollars

for their weapons and ammunition then.

Just get as much as we can.

Once we pull out a crocodile's teeth,

it'll become four-legged snake.

It'll naturally fall apart.

You have no appetite?

But would they be this stupid?

If they weren't,

would they

have been defeated?

Come, eat something, Baby.

Baby,

you have no appetite?

I'm going to town.

Want me to bring you anything?

Just come back alive.

Don't get killed.

You want to buy my weapons with

these petty amount of stuff?

That's so stingy.

These things of yours are old and worn out.

If we really get into battle,

half of them would be unusable.

If I trade these things in the South,

the guns I can get are ten times better than yours.

You're not here to buy goods,

you are here to get yourself killed.

I'm here to buy goods,

but not these junks.

What I want to buy is

you,

and you guys.

Very well, very well.

Come on, tell me.

What are we worth?

The entire region.

These things I brought today

are just welcome gift.

The deposit

is all the areas controlled by Red Scorpion.

Full payment

is the entire region.

I've always wanted to know this,

between Daddy Kun and I,

if one of us has to die,

which one of us do you wish to survive?

People in the village said that

you are the first person who called him Daddy Kun.

You're indebted to him?

He used to sell me.

I was born in a small town close to China's border.

When I was a kid, my parents died of drug overdose.

I was starving at home.

So, I crossed the border and came to China.

I ran into Daddy Kun.

He caught me and locked me up in a cellar.

He was a human trafficker.

I thought that it was a money-losing business to him.

Because no one would buy me.

In that deep well, there were a few more children,

I didn't know where they were from.

After that,

more kids were thrown into the cellar.

We didn't have enough food.

I had to fight to get it.

But in that little deep well,

I felt secured.

In there,

as long as you were strong and ruthless enough,

you could get food.

In that well,

no one dared to look down on me.

Later,

a kid got out.

He wanted to take us with him.

The moment he extended his hand to me,

I suddenly realized that

once I left,

my good life would be over.

Somebody! Someone is running away! I shouted.

I tried to get those stupid human trafficker to catch him.

Somebody! Someone is running away!

But he still got away.

As I expected,

the Chinese police found us a few days later.

And they got us out.

I didn't appreciate it at all.

Because I still had nowhere else

to go after I got out.

I ran,

I walked,

I didn't know where I could go.

I really missed that well.

-What do you want? -Take me with you.

-Go away. -Take me with you.

Please.

Take me...

What are you doing?

He... He's my dad.

He... He came out to work and was cheated.

We can't afford food.

My son is hungry.

He's making a fuss.

Here, have some.

Buy your son a meal.

Buy tickets and go home.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Dad, let's go.

Do you know who I am?

I know.

Why do you still want to follow me then?

My parents are dead.

From now on, you're my dad.

Son,

let's go eat.

After that,

he took me across the border,

and we ended up here.

And then,

we joined Red Scorpion.

And you know everything after that.

The best part hasn't started yet.

The best part

has only just started.

Tomorrow morning,

Daddy Kun is sending me to the South to deliver goods.

Between Daddy Kun and you,

I'll follow the one who survives.

Everyone knows this is your turf.

That's a no-man's land.

Extremely valuable.

If we cooperate,

together we will go north

and make a path for ourselves in China,

we will make lots of money then, won't we?

I'm getting old.

I

just want to earn money with

my brothers here safely.

But our brothers are still young.

They don't just want to earn money safely.

Perhaps

I'm really getting old.

My mind is no longer sharp.

Allow me

and my brothers to consider about it.

Lai,

see them out.

Looks like our brothers

have made up their mind.

Our brothers have held back for a long time.

I can't talk them out of it.

I see.

I see.

Give me a field

and let me grow poppies then.

Daddy Kun,

you've been teaching me

Red Scorpion's tradition.

The leader

must abdicate.

Who is going to kill me?

I'll never forget that you were the one

who raised me.

Since you insist on going north to deal with

the Chinese special forces,

you can only beat them with artillery.

I got it,

Daddy Kun.

(Counter-terrorism infiltration explosives removal training)

This is so cool.

It's just like Game for Peace.

I don't want to land and die instantly.

-Be serious. -Don't worry.

This little challenge is easy and enjoyable for me.

We're in the minefield.

Hang tight.

Target is spotted.

Target is in the northeast corner.

Second floor.

From the front of the building to the back,

the patrol soldiers take two minutes and ten seconds.

We have only two minutes.

What's going on?

I haven't even touched it. And the countdown started already.

It's connected to wires underneath.

This is your defusal mission.

Solve the Rubik's Cube and take it out before the countdown runs out.

Yan,

honestly, I've never been able to

figure out Rubik's Cube since I was little.

I know.

Four minutes and 35 second left.

Hurry up.

The wire is too tight.

If you take it out before you solve it,

you'll trigger the alarm.

Whose terrible idea is this?

The water is so cold.

It's not hard.

Easy.

Keep going.

You can do it. Believe in yourself.

You can do it. You're almost there.

Done!

Congratulations. Mission accomplished.

Xiao,

this is your first mission as a blaster.

For me, a mission like this is

easy.

Is it?

True.

You used five minutes.

That's because the water was too cold.

You try it.

I don't need to try.

I used to play it when I was a kid.

Unlike you.

You have to use your head more.

Yan Po Yue, I didn't know you when I was a kid.

Hot buns are so nice.

I never thought

hot buns can be so nice.

-It's awesome. -Here you go.

Warm your hands.

Here, you can have mine too.

You have to finish it.

Don't waste food.

Finish them all?

It's fine.

I haven't washed my hands anyway.

If I can't finish it, you guys will help me.

Camouflage reconnaissance training

(Counter-terrorism camouflage infiltration) requires participants to

(reconnaissance sniper training) form a team of three.

You will advance 300 meters

in camouflage to the reconnaissance firing line within 30 minutes.

You're required to read the six numbers in the spotter's position,

and shoot two targets.

Please note that during this period, six searchers will...

Let's split up and sneak in.

Then, we'll meet here.

-I disagree. -Bai,

that area is covered with plants.

There is a slope below.

It's perfect for concealment and retreat.
