Let me do it, let me feed him.

Okay, let's have you do it then.

The doctor says you can't drink water for now.

You can only take some water and moisten like this.

Bai Sir. Zhan Sir.

Where's Gongsun?

He took the voice changer back to the bureau.

Said ... said he wanted to see if he can find some clues in it.

Can he talk now?

He can. But his throat will need a week before it's fully recovered.

It may be somewhat difficult to speak in the meantime.

What happened?

How did you know something happened?

I just have this feeling.

That big bearded man's been caught.

But we don't know whether it's the one you meant, 2-12-11.

You're a patient. Lie down.

Lie down!

I want to see him.

Do you still remember an Italian nursery rhyme?

That big beard kept singing it and...

He also called Luo Yang "big brother."

That's impossible.

He died a long time ago.

What did you say?

What else did he say?

He also said ...

His name is Jiejie.

How can that be? This ... this can't be.

Take me to him.

Get some good rest today. We'll take you to see him tomorrow.

You will lie down!

Then you best relax for now. Let's go.

Take good care of him.

Leonard is such an asshole. So is Gongsun Zhe.

He obviously likes me, you know? But he won't say it!

Some men are just assholes.

Every last one of them are heartless.

It's empty. Waiter! I'm out of wine! Hurry up!

Bai-jie, don't drink anymore.

Are you two done bothering me?

Go away!

Waiter ... I'm out of wine!

Bai-jie.

We can't get through to her. We'll have to get someone else.

I'm still at the bureau.

Go get Gongsun. I'm hanging up. Bye.

Lying.

Lying.

I've already gone to bed.

Bai-jie.

Let's go home. Stop drinking.

I can still ... I can still drink ...

- You can't drink anymore. - Don't move me.

- I can drink another ten bottles. - I'm begging you, Bai-jie.

- I can drink another ten bottles! - Boss, I'm begging you.

- Don't move. - Stop bothering me!

Gong ... Gongsun.

You drank a lot. Let's go home.

Gongsun Zhe ...

It's okay. I'm here.

Episode 23

He's not 2-12-11. You guys caught the wrong person.

Well then do you recognise him?

Then who did you think he was at first?

Someone who was killed by me.

Within that span of time, he was my best friend.

That song ... He was the one who taught me to sing it.

Then what happened?

Later, he died during elimination training. I killed him with my own hands.

Because ... Between the two of us, only one could live.

Can you be absolutely sure? After all, it's been many years since then.

I can confirm that it's not him.

If you've also killed someone then you too must remember what the person you killed look like.

Right.

What about our agreement to cooperate? You'll come help us catch the killer...

But we'll have to make some changes to your current image.

Dun dun dun dun!

Not bad.

Big brother, you better choose yourself a name soon.

Otherwise we wouldn't know what we should call you anymore.

I haven't had much education.

Why don't ... You guys help me pick a name?

Choose a name. How about ... Luo Tian?

Yangyang is named Luo Yang, [TN. Yang = The sun]

If your name is Luo Tian they sound rather nice together. [TN. Tian = The heavens]

Luo Tian?

- Great. Let's go with that. - My name is Luo Tian then.

Bai Sir.

Another one's dead. It's the shadow killer.

Who died?

Chen Jie.

Yeah, that's right. How did you know that, Dr. Zhan?

Give Gongsun a heads up.

You and Bai Chi go over there first, we'll be there shortly.

Yes sir.

Have you noticed anyone suspicious lately?

No, I haven't.

Bai ... Bai sir. Dr. Zhan.

So?

She's upstairs. I'll take you there.

Bai Sir.

According to the results of Gongsun Zhe's examination,

we should be able to confirm that the killer was the same person.

Bai Sir. The surveillance system here has been destroyed. We can't get anything out of them.

Alright. Take your team with you.

Yes sir.

So it seems the killer wasn't Jiejie.

How did you guess that the one who died this time was Chen Jie?

Do you think that this case is ... overly complicated?

It's not exactly complicated.

More like it's hard to know where to start.

These are actually two separate cases:

One is "Dark Night Punisher,"

And the other is "Shadow Killer."

But between the two there seems to be ...

Some sort of connection.

Chen Jie's death though

Was probably not a part of the plan.

This time, the killer has changed their pattern.

They used to not kill women,

But this time they did.

They used to kill and leave right away without a fuss,

But this time, they started rummaging around for something.

Chen Jie's time of death is quite interesting as well.

It happened right after Jiejie was arrested.

There's also that time

Where Wei Yong died without rhyme or reason.

Do you still remember that Wei Yong

Once told us that ...

The man with a beard was Luo Wen's friend?

Actually,

He was intentionally trying to make it sound like Jiejie was Luo Tian.

If Yangyang hasn't told us

About Luo Tian,

Even now, we wouldn't know

That Jiejie and Luo Tian are in reality two different people.

Chen Jie's intended function

Was to conceal Jiejie's existence;

Using Luo Wen's big bearded friend as a cover.

But why would she do that?

She was holding onto him for someone

While making use of him herself.

So Chen Jie was killed to keep what she knew from getting out,

Because behind her there's still someone else.

Killing her, taking the stuff away,

*

Was for the purpose of severing

The connection between her and the black hand behind the curtain.

Bai ... Bai Sir.

I found something.

But but ... but I ... I'm too scared to take it.

It's him.

Who?

2-12-11.

He's managed to dress himself pretty well.

No huge beard either.

His clothes are clean and he's neatly put together.

I keep getting this feeling that I've seen him somewhere.

I've got it.

In the hospital parking garage.

When we ran into Leonard. He's one of his underlings.

Then that's it.

He's Leonard's underling,

And Lan Chenglin's was working for Leonard as a mole.

Bai Sir, I remember now.

We've questioned the people who worked for Chen Jie.

This guy is good with martial arts,

Often fights at Night Kingdom,

And he's ruthless enough that a lot of bosses want to take him in.

These group leaders all experienced a period of extreme uneasiness before they died,

And they didn't trust anyone around them.

But

In the few days before they died,

They went back to normal again.

What these people wanted was to find someone really tough

*

To protect themselves with.

They never expected the one they'd found

Would turn out to be someone who's there to kill them.

The victim's mansion

Was impossible to infiltrate from the outside.

But what if the killer was inside all along?

He was a new arrival.

Even if he was working from inside the mansion,

He couldn't have possibly gone undetected.

It's highly possible.

If he's 2-12-11,

He absolutely could have.

- The ventilation ducts. - Impossible.

The ventilation ducts are so small, there's no way an adult can fit inside them.

Don't forget,

We're not ordinary people.

We really only have to ask Jiejie if we want to find out

Where 2-12-11 is.

Questioning him may be a bit difficult.

Just look at him.

Mad as a March hare.

And there's no way to know if he's putting it on, either.

There is a way to make him tell the truth.

You want to hypnotise him?

It won't take long. Very simple.

No way.

You can't use hypnosis in an interrogation.

And if you do, what you get would be inadmissible as evidence.

If anyone else finds out it'd bring you trouble as well.

I'm only going to ask him where 2-12-11 is.

If you don't tell, who's going to know?

It's just 10 minutes.

10 minutes, and we can find out where 2-12-11 is.

If we don't find this person as soon as possible, something terrible will happen.

Give me 10 minutes.

White still looks better.

Black ...

Doesn't look good.

Bai Sir! Lan Chenglin got away!

What?

He really got away!

- Dr. Zhan ... - Outside!

What's going on?

We just got the news. All three prison guards watching Lan Chenglin are dead

And Lan Chenglin's nowhere to be found.

First they let Taber get away and now Lan Chenglin's gone too.

These prison guards all a bunch of herbivores or what?

I really ... really don't know ...

What ... what did we put our lives on the line for?

The hell are you guys griping about?

- Bao Sir. - Bao Sir.

Three people are dead already. That's not enough lives on the line for you?

Where's Zhan Yao?

Uh ... um ...

He's interrogating the suspect?

No no no he's not.

You're the officer here. He's a psychological consultant.

How can he question a suspect by himself?

He's using hypnosis?

Bao Sir!

Bao Sir.

You were interrogating the suspect - you were hypnotising him?

I was not.

Then what were you doing?

Having a heart to heart chat.

Yeah. Having a heart to heart chat.

Did you chat yourselves into some sort of conclusion then?

According to the suspect's confession, right now, 2-12-11

is in an abandoned house in the southern suburbs.

Leonard is there as well.

Bao Sir. I'd like to request assistance from the Special Forces team.

Alright. I'll go sign off on it.

Your team can head out in ten minutes. Bring along thermal sensors and police dogs.

Yes sir.

- Let's move out. - Yes sir!

Come on.

This is for you.

- Yangyang, be good. - Give me a bulletproof vest.

What are you wearing a bulletproof vest for? You're not allowed to go.

Did we not have an agreement to always go into the field together?

This is a commando mission.

You haven't been through any professional training for this. It's too dangerous.

I can take care of myself.

If you go my attention will be diverted. It could mean death for our comrades.

Be good now. Don't run off.

Wait for uncle to come back, okay?

I understand.

You have to be careful.

- Get ready to head out! - Yes sir!

Take care of Luo Yang for me.

- Don't worry. - I'll leave him in your hands.

Stay safe.

Uncle Zhan. Uncle Zhan!

I'm going to use the washroom.

- Hello? - Yangyang.

Uncle Dong!

- How have you been lately? - I'm fine.

[Yangyang: I'm going to Chai Wan Cemetery. Today is uncle Wei Yong's funeral.]

Yangyang!

Yangyang!

Did you see Yangyang?

He just left.

Yangyang!

Yangyang!

Hurry! Hurry and start the car -

Chief Bao. Zhan Yao's been kidnapped. They're in Shap Pat Heung.

Send Bai Yutong here right away.

We didn't find anything.

Bai Sir, there's nothing here.

We didn't find anything.

This isn't right.

Kidnapped?

Zhan Yao's in danger. Let's go!

Uncle Zhan! Uncle Zhan! Uncle Zhan!

Yangyang?

You tricked me and made me come outside all so you could catch uncle Zhan!

You're so smart!

Lan Chenglin. What are you trying to pull?

You know ... In this life of mine there are two people I hate most.

One ... was Luo Wen, and the other one would be Bai Yutong.

Luo Wen's already dead. But even dead he had to undermine me.

And Bai Yutong - If it wasn't for him I wouldn't have fallen this low.

This is a hole you dug yourself. You can hardly blame anyone else.

That so?

Looking at the time ... Bai Yutong should be here any minute now.

They did only ask me to deliver the two of you, but now I've changed my mind.

I can't even describe how thrilled I am at the thought of using you to torture Bai Yutong!

What exactly do you intend?

Where is he?

In there.

- Move out! - Yes sir!

Luo Tian will go in with me. Ma Han, you're on as sniper.

Yes sir.

Zhao Fu, Wang Shao, Bai Chi, cover us.

Yes sir.

This time we absolutely can't let him get away.

Bai Sir. Come on in. Been looking forward to seeing you for a while.

Lao-Bai! Don't come in!

I'll count to three. Every single one of you will get in here.

Otherwise, Zhan Yao dies first.

3. 2. 1.

Lan Chenglin! Put down your gun!

Lao-Bai! Don't come any closer!

Uncle big beard!

Don't be afraid, Yangyang.

Shut up!

And now both the big one and the little one are in my hands.

If you want them to stay alive, do as I say.

If you dare pull the trigger I'll never let you get away with it.

Since I went as far as to bring them here I don't expect to come out of this alive.

Don't get clever with me. Put your guns down.

All of you! Put your guns down!

Put them down.

Kick them farther away!

Bai Sir. Bai Sir!

Take off your headsets, arrange yourselves in circles and cuff up.

Bai Yutong. That's your spot.

Bai Sir?

Bai Sir.

Hurry up!

Do as he asked.

Hurry up!

Don't listen to him!

Bai Yutong. Serves you right!

You know ... I hate seeing that look in your eyes the most.

Bai Sir ...

I said, I hate that look in your eyes so much!

Climbing up into the limelight everywhere you go.

Kicking me down a rung everywhere you go.

Even after you went to SCI You still worked against me!

That case with Leonard had nothing to do with you.

But you had to stick your nose in it.

And you even investigated it all the way to me.

You ruined all the work I put in through the years.

Bai Sir ...

You're killing me here!

Bai - Bai Bai Bai Sir!

Bai Chi! Don't make a sound!

Even if I kill you a thousand times, ten thousand times -

It's still no match for how much I hate you.

I have a better way to make you wish you were dead.

Bai Yutong.

He is the most important person to you, right?

You dare touch him just try it.

You bastard, stop it right now! Stop it!

Bastard!

Bai Yutong. When I see how you look suffering,

how you look frightened, how you look struggling and begging for help,

I feel so happy. But I'm still not satisfied.

I need you to watch with your own eyes as your dearest brother dies in front of you.

I'll have you wish you were dead!

Stop it!

Lan Chenglin!

You bastard!

I will never let you get away with this!

If you've got guts come over here right now and kill me! Kill me!

Bai Yutong ...

Does it hurt?

Bai Yutong!

No. I mean...

Lan Chenglin ...

Is that all you've got?

What do you mean?

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

I'm the one you want. You've got a score, settle it with me.

You scared?

I'm telling you now, Lan Chenglin.

In this lifetime you'll only ever be a loser. You'll never succeed.

And you can never win against me. It'll always be impossible.

That's bullshit!

Bai Yutong! I dare you to say that again.

I said: You will never, ever win against me.

Zhan Yao! Zhan Yao! Zhan Yao!

Wake up, Zhan Yao! Zhao Yao!

You're awake.

Where's Yangyang?

Don't worry. Yangyang's fine.

I've figured this all out.

The entire case ... From start to finish.

Let's hear it.

Xiao-Zhan is awake?

- How are you feeling? - Big sister.

This time you can take all those holidays you've been saving up and use them all at once.

Yutong ...

I heard you were worried to tears?

Big sister what are you saying?

I -

I'll go buy you some congee.

He's just like that.

Look at how shy he is. He just won't own up to it, isn't that right?

Yangyang, don't be afraid. It's okay now.

Is Dr. Zhan alright?

It's nothing major.

Go in and see him.

We will.

Yangyang.

Let's go. We'll go see uncle Zhan.

Uncle Zhan is fine now. Shouldn't you be a bit happier?

Uncle Zhan almost died. It's all my fault I didn't listen. They told me not to run off.

Are you scared that he wouldn't like you anymore?

Let me ask you then, Yangyang. Say ...

You're Dr. Zhan and Dr. Zhan is Yangyang,

Then ... If something like this happens. Would you blame him?

I wouldn't.

Then do you think that Uncle Zhan and Uncle Bai are better people than you are?

Since they are even better people than you are...

And ... even you wouldn't blame them, then naturally they wouldn't blame you.

This is called "putting yourself in someone else's shoes."

Let's go. Let's go see uncle Zhan.

I've got the data. All the names in the database are here.

Hurry and open it.

Luo-dage, come take a look.

Wait. Scroll backwards.

Stop. That's the one.

What does this mean?

2-12-11.

He ... He's actually in the police bureau?

There's no way.

I don't have any impression of this guy at all.

How could he have stuck around in the bureau for six years?

Looks like he's very good at disguising himself.

And he's probably not using the usual routes to move around.

That is to say, he's been by us the whole time.

Why don't we check with the logistics unit?

See if this person named Du She has already ... resigned from his position?

[Du She]

Du She ... Du She ... Venomous snake?

This case ...

If it wasn't for Lan Chenglin and his personal vendetta,

Yangyang and I would definitely have been taken away.

At a glance it seems like a trap.

If it's really a trap, then this plan had already begun the moment Jiejie was hypnotised.

Someone in deep hypnosis wouldn't tell lies.

Especially with someone of unsound mind like Jiejie, to have him tell lies is even more difficult.

That's because he lacks the ability to adapt to unexpected situations.

The hypnosis was a success.

The information we got out of Jiejie was real, too.

But the mission was decided within a mere ten or so minutes between us and Bao Sir.

We are the only people who know about it.

If anyone else wanted to know the details, there is only one way.

Eavesdropping?

But I have a feeling that his intention was probably a rescue.

Being able to eavesdrop on our conversation was just a coincidence.

Highly likely.

But he didn't expect that you would hypnotise Jiejie,

or that we were planning on getting rid of Leonard's lair along with him.

So he could only give up on saving Jiejie. Instead, he passed the information onto his other accomplices.

On the other hand, he realised that you were not with us.

That's why he set this trap, taking the opportunity to first capture you and Yangyang.

Lan Chenglin had long-standing grievances against us, and he's naturally predisposed to arrogance so he's hard to control.

If they wanted him to perform a kidnapping ... he was absolutely not a good candidate

But out of all people, Du She chose to use him.

It can only tell us that his actions were decided at the last minute.

He was forced to find someone nearby.

This Du She is cautious and deliberate ... He's hard to handle.

Morning, everyone.

Morning, sir!

Dr. Zhan, out of the hospital so soon?

The hospital is too stuffy. I wanted to come back way sooner.

Sit down, you lot, don't talk standing around.

What's going on with logistics?

You were right, that guy named Du She really did resign two days ago.

We asked around with those who run the logistics unit.

Du She was usually very dutiful, he could even be described as honest to a fault.

So there are always people asking him to switch shifts with them.

Does he have a kid - and not just one?

According to what I heard ... He's very easygoing.

He would often take a few kids along with him and hang out at the police bureau.

He said they were his relatives' children.

Sure enough.

Where's the photograph we got last time?

Wang Shao.

As I've said before, the handwriting on the back of this photograph is a child's.

Let's think about this for a moment.

If 2-12-11 is just one person, then where did Jiejie come from?

I already did a physical examination on Jiejie.

I discovered that his body is currently rapidly deteriorating.

- Deteriorating? - Yes.

His internal organ functions are in disorder.

And his bone condition is already resembling that of someone in his 70's.

I performed the same examination on Luo Tian last time as well.

He is in extremely good physical condition. There is nothing wrong with him.

Jiejie's growth was accelerated.

In other words, any capability that run counter to human physiological structure can be potentially harmful.

So, so you're saying these experiments have switched targets from adults to children.

Then... If Leonard has something to do with this ...

Everyone, keep looking. Don't get complacent.

Find him as soon as possible.

- Yes sir! - Yes sir!

Do you think that this "Dark Night Punisher" was a red herring all along?

Perhaps these nameless hooligans that were murdered

were only prey used to help groom those experimental subjects into killers.

Zhan Yao.

You have a plan?

[Zhao Jue / text msg / call]

Zhao Jue?

You want to call Zhao Jue for help?

Help me make a decision.

This is your best idea?

This isn't the best idea I have thought of.

However, it is the one idea I have that gets us what we want the fastest.

But it's not like you don't know full well who he is.

Xiao-Bai. Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures.

Time waits for no one.

You've already made up your mind haven't you?

But you're the team leader.

If I disagreed, would you then really not do this?

The two of you are far more pragmatic than that old fart.

Hurry and leave as soon as you're done. Don't cause us any trouble.

Is there anyone who'd ask for help the way you do?

If I'm the first person you've ever met to do so, then I'm honoured.

You're truly becoming more and more like me.
