Lan Sir!

Bai Sir, that's rather vicious of you, no?

Wasn't me that hit him.

Sir.

This kid ... is a lunatic.

What's going on?

Bao Sir.

You tell us.

Bao Sir.

Just now I noticed that there was something weird about this kid

So I just wanted to ask him a question.

But I didn't expect he'd turn out to be a lunatic.

He grabbed a brick and struck me, and then Bai Sir showed up.

And thought I wanted to hurt this kid.

So he cuffed me.

Is that what happened?

Come on. Why don't you tell everyone what happened?

He wants to kill me because I saw him hiring a prostitute at a nightclub.

That's ridiculous! When have I ever gone to a nightclub?

My mom and dad died early so I wait tables at nightclubs.

I saw him and one of the ladies there go into a room.

When they came out he even gave her money!

- Don't you lie and slander me! - What are you howling at him for?

You'd intimidate a child?

Will he try to come kill me again?

He pointed a gun at us earlier! He fired at us too!

That's rubbish! I never pulled the trigger!

In other words you really did take out your gun.

You wanted to silence us all by killing us, just for that.

And you'd go so far as to kill cops.

Isn't that a little ... Difficult to excuse?

Or did anything else that can be held against you fall into this child's hands?

Maybe this is all a misunderstanding?

Could be when vice-captain Yu was meeting with an informant,

his actions were misinterpreted.

You want to let the two of them go,

because they're the fishing line in the case you're investigating.

You want to get at the melon by the vine?

Bao Sir.

Lan Chenglin and Yu Qingyan are suspected of murder.

And they're involved in the organised crime serial killing case.

I hereby officially request to have the two of them taken into custody.

Bai Yutong! That's a pile of nonsense! That's wrongful accusation!

Bao Sir, I'm innocent. What evidence do you have?

Do we need to do this?

Arrest him.

Bao Sir! I'm innocent! Bao Sir!

- Arrest him! - Bao Sir!

Bai Chi!

- Keep an eye on him. - Yes sir!

Take them away.

Bai Yutong.

This isn't over!

I really don't know how I'm supposed to work with the kind of cop like you who can't at all take the big picture into consideration.

I also don't know how I'm supposed to work with a cop who takes the big picture into consideration.

This here is the undercover cop Luo Wen's son.

I would like you to look into his eyes and tell him

What exactly is true justice according to the police?

What's more important - solving a case or a person's life?

My father ... was a cop?

Don't worry.

Your father was the kind of good cop who'd raise you even when he had to go undercover.

He's not like some, who would, for the sake of solving a case,

go so far as to watch someone break the law and

not intervene - that kind of a bad cop.

Want a drink?

- No. - No?

You said earlier that my father was a cop?

That's right. Do you think I would lie to you?

Why don't I take out your father Luo Wen's file and show you?

I believe it.

You probably already know that Luo Wen wasn't your biological father, right?

Mm. But I still want to avenge him.

Then you have to help us.

I know. That's why I came.

Great.

Then we'll continue from where our conversation left off, okay?

In the past, did your father have a friend with a big beard?

Does that ring a bell?

I know him!

What's his name? What does he do for a living?

Do you know where he is right now?

I just call him uncle big beard, I don't know anything else.

Oh! I also know where he lives.

Then could you take us there so we can have a look?

Will you arrest him?

Why did you ask that question?

Is it because you think he's done something bad, so we'd want to arrest him?

He's a bit weird.

A bit weird? Weird in what way?

Come in.

Since the case has already been transferred to you, let's work on it together.

I'd like to listen to this as well.

With him here ... Can I still tell you?

You can tell us. I'm not a bad person.

You can. Go ahead.

Uncle big beard usually likes to play with me.

But sometimes it's like he's suddenly possessed,

and he'd chant a bunch of numbers over and over.

Which numbers?

3, 17, 12.

What's that? Tell us quickly.

Is it a code name? A password? A secret code? Hurry and tell us!

Hey, could you have a bit more patience with a kid?

Whatever it is, we'll find out if we just go, no?

Then could you take us to see him?

I can take you, but you guys can't hurt him.

Okay.

Don't worry.

Let's go.

Episode 22

It's over this way.

We're almost there.

It's right here.

Military bedding, military canteen ...

This guy's served in the army.

This 13, 17, 12 - Could they have anything to do with a military camp?

He could have undergone militarised training.

But it doesn't necessarily mean that he's served in the army.

What do you mean?

I can't put my finger on it. I keep feeling like something is missing.

This place seems to be missing some ...

Items associated with the armed forces.

A lot of recently decommissioned soldiers would keep some stuff from the army.

Stuff like uniforms.

Or medals.

Perhaps... He's already thrown them away?

That's unlikely.

Generally speaking,

When a person has become used to an abnormal mode of living to a certain degree,

there are only two possibilities:

One, extreme predilection;

Second, extreme habituation.

Fundamentally, when it comes to people who have habituated themselves to living this way to this degree,

their habits were already formed in early childhood.

But in contemporary society, what proper army would recruit children?

But if he really was an adult soldier,

and he's habituated to living like this to this degree,

how could he have not kept any mementos?

Then what exactly is going on?

I can only say that under this militarised supervision he lived like this for a long, long time.

He has already adapted to it completely.

Even though ... He strongly loathes it, He can't extricate himself.

It's hollow.

It's hollow?

There's something else in there.

It's a letter.

Let me see! Let me see!

Are ordinary children usually this fearless?

Yangyang, doesn't that hurt?

I used the same amount of strength.

Yangyang, are you a lot stronger than other kids?

Who is it?

Bai Yutong!

Stop running!

3! 17! 12!

Uncle big beard!

Don't fight anymore!

Uncle big beard, don't fight anymore!

Uncle big beard!

You said you wouldn't arrest him!

Don't worry.

As long as he's not a bad person, we're not going to do anything to him.

The man who bumped into me that day wasn't him.

What?

He's definitely not the one we saw last night.

But on that night,

the man with a big beard that I saw in Night Kingdom's surveillence footage

was the one that bumped into you.

Could it be that Wei Yong got the wrong person?

Is he the only big beard? Is there anyone else?

Uncle big beard is him, how could there be anyone else?

Then, on the evening we were at Night Kingdom, was he there?

Why would uncle big beard go to a place like that?

He hates crowded places the most.

I have a feeling we need to exchange the data we each have on hand.

That way we can better work together.

Just get to the point.

When you cast out the line that was Lan Chenglin,

exactly which big fish were you trying to catch?

The one you guys caught and then allowed to escape.

Terrance Taber.

In recent years, Taber's been filling out his feathers.

The head of the mafia, Spoto, can no longer control him.

They appear unified but they're divided at heart. It's a matter of time before they part ways.

Taber wants independence.

That means he'll need people, money, and territory.

People, he's had enough for a while. Money, he's still trying to make. The hardest part is territory.

The North American domain belongs to Spoto, Europe belongs to Leonard.

So if Taber wants a place of his own he can only try his luck here.

When he was here last time to buy Boxed Corpse it was to make money.

He was able to cross the border easily.

And after he was caught, he was able to escape just as easily.

So that's how you were sure that there's definitely a mole in the police bureau.

Wait a second.

Don't worry. They're not bad people.

Have ... have you done bad things?

Yangyang. This isn't a room you can go into without permission.

Yangyang. Come get some yummy food with big brother, okay?

He's your son, isn't he?

What - What's going on?

Yangyang has already gone outside. It's okay.

He won't be able to hear anything.

Bai Sir and I ...

That is, the officer that brought you in earlier, we intend to adopt Yangyang.

Yangyang is a good kid.

Do you have no plans to claim him and raise him yourself?

It looks like he's very fond of you.

I can't take him in.

Your voice ...

It's implanted?

Which organisation have the regular practice of directly implanting voice changers?

I've never heard of it.

Who is he?

And who are these people?

Don't ask.

Did you know that there's another man with a big beard?

Where is he?

Dark night punisher. Have you ever heard that phrase before?

The key. Give me the key!

Don't move!

Don't come any closer. I won't hurt him.

Let him go.

Release me.

You want to go look for him, right?

Why?

Is he your enemy?

I have unfinished business.

When I finish doing everything I must do, you can do whatever you want.

Why don't we work together? Don't you want to catch him sooner?

Every extra day he gets to live is an extra day of danger for the world.

Not to mention this is the police bureau.

There's no way for you to escape.

How do we work together?

Go outside for a bit.

Then let's continue from where we left off.

Who are these people?

Aside from him and I, everyone else is dead.

And what do those numbers mean?

It's my name.

Who's this?

Does he look like Yangyang?

What does this string of numbers mean?

Third generation.

Number 12 in a group of 17.

Do you know about nerve sensitivity?

Nerve sensitivity -

I've heard it mentioned before.

By lowering nerve sensitivity, you can raise the battle effectiveness of soldiers.

But this method is far too out of line with how humans should treat one another.

In the end, the person who suggested this theory disappeared.

That's right.

He's already dead. He died very thoroughly.

He died so thoroughly that he can no longer harm anyone.

That person wouldn't be ...?

Allan Poe.

He would be Allan Poe.

Let me go! Let me go!

Please! Please let me go!

- I want to go home! - From now on your name is 3-17-12.

I've told Luo Wen this story.

His expression then was the same as yours now.

You are all ... People who can be sad for others.

We want to hear this too.

It took a long time for me to realise

What it was that they did to me.

Let me go! Let me go!

Through the usage of drugs and physical stimulation,

they wiped away my memories and slowed the reaction of my nerves.

The entire first batch died in this process.

The second batch... Nearly all were wiped out.

By the time it was our turn,

in our batch, only 17 of us survived.

Drugs and physical stimulation can't entirely wipe away

certain kinds of memory or certain ... Specific sensation.

Correct.

So it needs ten years of acquired adaptation.

Acquired adaptation?

Just like how soldiers are trained so that they no longer fear death.

The basic principle is the same.

If you go through training,

a person's tolerance against pain can be raised little by little.

After a person has gotten used to a given amount of pain, then they won't hurt anymore.

Truthfully, this kind of experimentation is fundamentally misguided.

This isn't the disappearance of pain. It is the numbing of pain.

It's the same as getting tattooed.

If someone has had a tattoo done, it is likely for them to get a second one.

This is because they've already adapted to this sensation of pain.

They're more likely to seek out higher levels of stimulation.

You know ... Allan Poe hated people like you the most.

The things you know instinctively,

other people have to spend many years

or even many decades to learn.

Allan Poe wasn't actually a genius.

He didn't even manage to become a scientist.

So ... His experiments needed many guinea pigs.

How old are you?

Are you asking 3-17-12?

From the time I became 3-17-12 it has already been 22 years.

22 years? No way!

Buddy looks like he's forty-something!

- Yeah! - Right?

This is a formulation that strengthen muscles, or what commonly known as steroids.

Even though it increased muscle power, but, it also sped up the aging process.

Then how did Allan Poe die?

And the other children ... Are they all dead too?

It was probably six years ago...

Allan Poe's experiments ran into an obstacle.

An obstacle?

You're saying that his experiment wasn't self-funded.

But that someone was funding it?

From what I remember, Someone came to see us.

After he left,

Allan Poe furiously tore apart his own lab.

Also, he chased away all of the laboratory staff

And made us slaughter each other.

Then did you all ...

Resist? Or did as he asked?

At the time, we agreed to escape together.

I left to kill Allan Poe.

But ...

When I came back with Allan Poe's head...

Everyone else was already dead.

They were killed by the other man with a big beard, right?

Who is he?

2-12-11.

He was the only survivor of the second generation.

All the others from the second generation died during the late stage training.

He really can't feel pain. His strength is exceptional.

But ...

But from your point of view he's completely insane.

He has everything but obedience.

You're not wrong. He is insane.

That's why you've been tracking him down all this time.

Yangyang is seven this year.

You said earlier that you escaped 6 years ago.

Then ...

Yangyang was born there.

Allan Poe ... forced me to make him.

Before Yangyang turned one, it was Allan Poe who raised him.

That is the reason why his strength is exceptional.

Even I'm sometimes startled by him.

You took Yangyang with you and escaped, and then you happened to meet Luo Wen.

And so you gave Yangyang to Luo Wen to raise.

Then why would Luo Wen die? What happened between those events?

I don't know.

I only know that he's a cop.

And he was in the middle of investigating an important case.

At the same time, he was also looking for 2-12-11, for me.

How do you want us to work together?

We suggest that you... have a little operation done first.

Hey. Pay some attention to my left hand's direction.

The one from the stadium?

Waiter!

Do you need something, sir?

Police.

Things may get dangerous on the first floor in a moment.

I have to trouble you to help me move all the customers on the first floor to the second floor temporarily.

Okay. Please wait a moment.

Sir, please come with me to the second floor.

Take Yangyang and go first.

Yangyang. Follow uncle to the second floor.

Be careful.

Big brother.

I'm looking for big brother.

Stop right there.

I'm looking for big brother.

I asked you to stop right there. Don't move!

Big brother.

Big brother.

I've done a lot of things that would make you happy lately.

Big brother, why are you ignoring me?

Who are you calling big brother?

I've seen him before.

Didn't you tell me before that you've only met one man with a big beard?

He's always watching me at night from the mouth of the alleyway.

Other times it's from the side of a window. He never came in.

I always thought it was uncle big beard, but it doesn't feel the same.

Then why don't you help me ask him some questions?

Okay.

Ask him what his name is. What does he want with you?

Little brother.

Big brother.

Big brother. You're not mad at me anymore, big brother?

Little brother, why did you change your name?

Do you not like the name you had before?

I haven't! Jiejie didn't change his name.

Jiejie ... is still called Jiejie.

What does he want with you?

Why did you come to see me? Aren't you very busy?

I am very busy lately. I'm busy doing ... Something very important.

When I'm finished with it, I'd be able to save you and bring you back! - Don't move!

Now what do I do?

Now try to trick him into telling you about himself.

Ask him about the people around him. Find out what they're doing.

You ... don't get fooled by bad people.

I heard that whoever that is is a very, very bad person.

Are you talking about ... Taber?

I know they're all bad people.

They think that they can fool me.

But actually they all smell the same.

Then tell me what is he making you do?

Let me see if he really hasn't fooled you.

I can't say. I can't say.

They're ... they're cops!

Jiejie, last time I saw a person who looks a lot like you.

Where is he? Where is he, big brother?

Why are you so scared of him?

Big brother, they want to kill you! They want to kill you!

Big brother ... oh no. This won't do.

I have to leave. I have to leave. I'm leaving.

If you keep running I'll shoot!

I'm not playing with you anymore!

Come on.

This looks the same as the one from Wu Qiang's house.

Too bad he got away.

That's so weird, this guy's been shot. How can he still run?

He didn't feel anything.

You injured him. So he won't be able to do anything bad for now.

Oh, right.

Big beard is having the operation tomorrow, right?

Gongsun said he'd want to be there early.

He said he wants to take a look and see how that voice changer was implanted.

Let's go.

Let's.

Big sister? What are you doing here?

Oh, you must be waiting for Gongsun.

How long until the operation's over?

He said 10 am. Now ... it's already 9:30 am.

Big sister, I still have some things to deliver.

So I'll see you later.

Stop right there!

Move it!

Give me your gun.

Hello? Hello?

What's wrong?

Hello? Big sister? Big sister!

We're in the parking garage! Hurry up and help us!

Let's go!

Yangyang. Stay close.

Who is this guy?

I've ... I've no idea.

How can there be another big beard?

Don't move!

Wasn't he injured by uncle Bai yesterday? How is he better already?

You said earlier that the uncle big beard from before also sang this song?

I've heard him sing it a few times.

He said it's something he heard when he was little.

It left a deep impression.

Yangyang. Do you still remember the melody?

Hum a few more phrases. I want to see his reaction.

Big brother ...

No.

Yangyang. Keep singing.

Bai Chi. Contact Wang Shao and the others.

Send a police van to bring him back with.

Yes, sir.

Gongsun Zhe wanted those things, right?

Hurry and delivery them.

Bai Sir, be careful.

Don't move!

Eugene?

We meet again.

So, Taber fell into your hands, huh?

Leonard.

You and your brother really look alike, dear.

Leonard, what are you here for?

I heard you have a lover now.

Is it the little cutie behind you?

But this one ...

Doesn't seem like your style.

What do you want?

What does it matter what I want? It's not like you'd give it to me.

If you have no business here, leave

This isn't a place where you should be.

I didn't come looking for trouble with you and your family.

I just want to bring back a child who's wandered off.

Impossible.

That so, Bai Sir?

I know you're fast with a gun, but that's not necessarily the case with Dr. Zhan, am I right?

Let me guess.

If I remember correctly, just now, you called him a child.

But from the looks of him he seems older than you.

That is to say,

You know that his intellectual development is stuck in the childhood stage.

You seem to have an understanding of his past, but you don't want us to know.

So that's why you sent him here to the hospital to kill the other big beard

so you can continue your research.

Since you already know, then you may as well hand him over.

You're sure you want to go against SCI?

And if it's me who wants to keep him?

You know I would never refuse a request from you. Not a one.

You guys leave. The big beard stays.

And now none of you better think about leaving.

Boss, let's go! Now!

Looks like there's a story behind your big sister and that Leonard, hmm?

Truthfully this isn't as complicated as you imagined.

I'll have to tell you the story from when I was still overseas.

Back then, I was only 18, maybe 19.

One day, on my way home,

I spotted a group of people ganging up on a young person.

That would be the Leonard you saw today.

So you went over to help him?

Wouldn't ordinary girls in this situation try to stay as far away as possible?

I didn't really think about it at the time. Leonard looked cultured and refined.

I saw the majority bullying the minority so I went over and helped him out.

And after that?

Afterwards ... I thought Leonard was also a student and we became friends.

Later I heard that he started a business on his own.

But I never found out about Leonard's true identity.

Later still I met his father.

His father ... Wanted Leonard and I to be together.

He wanted me to join their family and work for him.

Then ... About this past relationship between you and Leonard ...

It was all one-sided love on his part, that's all. I -

Gongsun!

The operation is already finished. You can go see him in the sickroom.

I have no interest in him at all!

Gongsun!

Let me explain!

Gongsun!

A jealous man is so scary.
