EPISODE 19

Well, this black tea is a gift from a British friend.

It's imported.

Well, we should enjoy what we deserve.

I'm a boor. I can't tell the difference.

I'll only serve it when a distinguished guest like you comes here.

Please have a taste.

Well, about what you just said. We should enjoy what we deserve.

Should there be special cells for special criminals too?

The way the foreigners drink tea is very interesting.

They put sugar inside.

But, how can we drink it when it's so sweet?

I'll be straightforward then.

The special cell.

Ms. Xiao, how did you know about that?

It has been a really long time. He's a dangerous criminal.

We must guarantee that the special cell is secured.

-We have to ensure it's flawless. -Rest assured.

The special cell is made of special materials.

We maintain it regularly. There won't be a problem.

How's the criminal?

He's the same as he used to be. We don't get close to him.

There's enough to eat and drink. He'll survive.

-You're not allowed to get close? -It was an order.

He knows witchcraft. Nobody is allowed to get close to him.

-Did you just say witchcraft? -Exactly!

Normal people can't even see him.

If they do, they'll go crazy.

-That's odd. -I'm not bluffing.

Only those who are clean and pure won't fall under his spell.

Previously, we had a deaf and blind old man to deliver meals for him.

He couldn't see or hear anything, so it's safe.

Unfortunately, the old man died a few days ago in an unusual way.

His head was missing.

Now, we're sending a little girl.

Her heart is pure.

His eyes are blindfolded by us.

He can't use his witchcraft. Don't worry.

Another year goes by

Fly here

I'll lend you some rafters

Your old nest is broken

Go get some soil and grass

Fix it while it's sunny

Gosh, I'm so exhausted.

Hey, shouldn't you exercise more?

Who still does it?

We have this.

You just use the baton to scare others.

Hey, where are you going after work?

I'm going to gamble.

-Gambling again? -Yes.

-Did you win back what you lost last time? -No.

I want to go with you this evening.

But, I can't go there right away.

I need to go home first to inform my wife.

If I go out without telling her,

she'll quarrel with me at night.

Come in.

Someone's looking for you. Could you talk to him?

What a busy day.

Ms. Xiao, I'm sorry.

-Please wait for a moment. -Take your time.

Goodness.

Witchcraft?

I must meet him.

Hey. Don't you know where you are?

Don't be rash.

You did your part. Thank you for your help.

Hey!

Captain Fu, don't make things difficult for me.

I want to arraign an important criminal who killed three people.

Would you be responsible for it if it's delayed?

-Can't you hurry up? -All right, I'll open it now.

-Captain Fu, who's this? -Are you still wasting my time?

Come in, please.

Look at how fat you are.

I brought you a sweet osmanthus.

Is it beautiful?

It's very fragrant.

Thank you, Shuang.

Unfortunately, my eyes are blindfolded so I can't see it.

Why are your eyes blindfolded?

It's because they are scared of my eyes.

Why would they be scared?

They think I can see through them with my eyes.

I'll know what they want and what they'll do.

They are hypocritical

and impure.

They are terrified to be seen through, but they refuse to blindfold their eyes.

So, they blindfolded mine.

Can eyes be so powerful?

Our eyes can see the light and beautiful things.

It's a pity that light is just an illusion.

If you look carefully, you'll find

that the world is filled with darkness

where you can't see anything.

Do you mean at night?

But, we have lamps at night.

Light isn't the lamplight.

It signifies the kindness and beauty of mankind.

But, it's all fake. It's just to protect themselves.

Darkness is the only truth.

We're only true to ourselves in darkness.

The world is a bottomless chasm.

How could a feeble light

illuminate it?

But, we have the sun.

REMORSE

REMORSE

Come in, please.

Well, I heard you have guests.

-Captain Fu, President Ding. -Hey.

Hey, don't stand there. Please have a seat.

All right.

Goodness, I am so happy today.

I seldom have so many guests in this prison.

Have some British black tea.

-We should enjoy what we deserve. -All right..

Wait a second.

Ms. Xiao.

Which case are you interested in?

None.

I'm here to get some information on behalf of my father.

-I see. -What about you, Captain Fu?

Well, it's nothing important.

I came to arraign a criminal with Detective Ding.

It's just a simple interrogation.

You're really conscientious and responsible.

After all, it's my duty.

The black tea is here. I'm sorry for making you wait.

Here. Please enjoy it.

Ms. Xiao, where's your assistant, Mr. De-you?

-He went to the washroom. -I see.

Come in.

De-you Guo.

Why are you always interrupting when we have guests?

The little girl who deliver meals to the special cell didn't come back.

Captain Fu, aren't you going to arraign Yu Huang?

-Yes. -This officer will go with you.

There's an emergency.

-I need to handle it. -I see.

Sorry for the inconvenience. Please forgive us.

-Go on ahead. -Go on ahead.

Let's go.

Captain Fu, please.

But, I haven't tasted this tea.

Let's go.

Wait a second.

Ms. Xiao, you're not in a hurry, are you?

We'll be back soon.

Let's continue to enjoy the tea after this.

-Is De-you Guo here? -Let's go.

Captain Fu, Yu Huang is imprisoned here.

But, it's better to stay away from him.

All right. I'm the one who arrested him. Open the door.

Where is he?

Answer him! Where is he?

-I don't know either. -Is this the wrong cell?

No way. I only took one key.

How could a man suddenly go missing?

I...

My goodness!

What the hell are you all doing?

Gold is produced from the Jinsha River.

Jade is produced from Kunlun Mountains.

It rains when dark clouds are massing.

Dew becomes frost when it's cold at night.

Ju Que is the most famous sword.

Ye Guang is the most precious pearl.

I knew it's you.

De-you Guo?

Did you come for Yu Huang?

He ran away.

I knew he was pretending to be crazy.

Two prison guards were killed. It must be him.

What? Where?

In the dressing room.

Wait a minute.

You brat.

What are you doing here?

How did you get in?

Yu Huang must be looking for the Preacher.

Who?

In the special cell, there's a special criminal.

How did you know that?

Where's the special cell?

Are you serious?

It's very dangerous here. It's none of your business, all right?

Come with me right now. Let's go.

-We must find him as soon as possible. -We must find the Preacher too.

I told you. It's none of your business!

You, send someone to guard the exit. I'll call for backup when I am back.

Hey!

Where's the special cell?

Don't tell them!

The longer you delay, more people will die.

Are you going to bear the responsibility if the special criminal runs away?

Don't tell them.

It's downstairs. The warden is on his way.

Hey, stop!

You don't want to leave, do you? Fine.

I'll arrest you for breaking into the prison,

so you'll never have to leave.

What happened? Are we eating earlier today?

Don't you value your life?

Those two are idiots!

What are you waiting for? Come and help.

Screw you!

Hurry up!

Open the door!

Lock it!

My goodness.

Guard the door. Guard it properly!

-We need a plan. -What should we do?

Freedom! We're free.

-We're free! -Freedom!

We're free.

Freedom! We're free!

-Freedom! -Freedom!

Freedom!

-Freedom! -Freedom!

Junior Immortal?

You finally came.

I'm the ninth head of the Huang family.

You must have suffered a lot

to reach this far.

I'm risking my whole family.

Impressive.

If I don't get what I deserve,

I'll never be satisfied.

You come from far away.

Welcome.

Little girl.

Put down the gun, all right?

Don't move. Get back.

She must be the girl who delivers the meals to him.

Deliver the meals?

The warden told me the Junior Immortal knows witchcraft.

He can only be approached

by deaf and blind men or those with a pure heart.

I think she's the pure one.

You come from far away.

Welcome.

You're very welcome.

All is destined.

Insist on your decisions.

It's not witchcraft. It's hypnosis.

I hate shackles.

-Hypnosis? -Yes.

She's in a highly suggestive state.

She'll respond accordingly to our questions and actions.

Someone once called me a fortune teller.

Where did you go?

You're clever.

Since you already know, I had already left.

Make a choice then.

The truth is always followed by a choice.

When you opened this prison door,

you already saw your options.

If you choose to leave,

this lovely girl standing in front of you will shoot herself.

If you step in and try to save her,

she'll shoot you.

Which will you choose?

It's entirely up to you.

Aren't you familiar with hypnosis?

Try to break it.

Although I understand it, I don't know how to do it.

I don't know how to break it.

How about we take a rest and wait until she's tired?

She said you instead of both of you.

She won't press the trigger

-if one of us leave. -What?

Let's find the Junior Immortal first.

I'll stay here with her.

Are you sure?

Are you kidding me?

I'm an individual with unsurpassed and exceptional abilities.

I'm the best at dealing with little girls.

I'll go ask for help.

After that, I'll come back for you.

-I'm leaving. -All right.

-Freeze! -Freeze!

Goodness!

My leg!

-What's going on out there? -All the criminals were released.

We're short on manpower.

We can't hold them off for long.

-Why were they released? -I'm not sure.

It's chaotic.

Let's call for help.

Hey.

The phone line is cut off.

Let's hide here.

Is there any water? I'm thirsty.

It's finished.

If you don't mind,

-take some from there. -I see.

Didn't you say

the phone line was cut off?

Now, it is.

This is nice.

Don't waste it.

Tea.

Hot tea.

After drinking cold water for so many years,

I've forgotten the taste of tea.

Let go of me.

Let go of me!

It's so noisy out there.

Let's keep quiet here.

Okay?

All right.

Let's talk in peace.

What do you want?

Tell me.

I'll do what I can.

I've been in prison for so long. I don't need anything.

I just need two things.

Freedom

and women.

Now, I have both.

What else could I hope for?

What else?

Hey.

We're free. Let's go!

-We're free. -Let's go!

We're free!

We're free!

Young lady, just lie down.

You should enjoy it.

If you continue to struggle, you'll hurt yourself.

I promise you, it'll be over soon.

The gun will rust if we don't clean it.

And my gun

has been rusted for years.

So,

clean it for me.

Don't move!

It's a nice dress.

It would be a pity if I tear it up.

I didn't cut your artery.

Instead, I cut your trachea.

If you don't want to die,

don't move.

Are you all right?

Are you all right?

Lock the door.

What?

Lock the door.

The British Consulate and Xiaoxiguan Prison

are the safest place in Tientsin City.

But, violence has erupted one after another.

It's my neglect of duty.

This is our responsibility.

It's our honor as policemen to be able to experience this.

We were too late to arrive at the British Consulate.

But, we made it to Xiaoxiguan.

Buddies, let's fight until the end!

Take them down!

All right.

Take them down. Fight.

Go.

Get out of the way.

-Buddies! -Yes!

Find our Young Master!

As for the rest, there's no repercussion for killing them.

-Go! -Take it easy.

Captain, help arrived in time!

-You're so wise. -Of course! I only have you guys.

But, are you all reliable?

Captain, I've worked with you for a long time.

But, you still don't understand me.

Dizzy Head! Rush!

I have a friend.

She's a girl.

When she was your age, she was a crazy girl.

In general, no one dared to bully her.

She was the bully.

But her mother never allowed her to wander around,

especially to a place like this.

Do you know how many bad guys are out there?

My master told me

two men took a dog to the pier.

The dog can talk and kowtow for money.

After that, they were arrested by the police.

So, everyone was curious.

How could the dog talk?

Actually, they abducted children for a living.

When they caught a child,

they would soak their skin with limewater.

Then they would stick dog hair on them with potion

and feed them some herbal medicine.

As time passed by,

the grew out tusks and a tail.

So, no matter how naughty my friend was,

she would stay at home

and wouldn't dare to go anywhere whenever my master told her this story.

I guess I'll take my chances.

Well, you...

I sneaked out.

Sorry for bothering you.

Can I

stay here for a while?

Sure.

Stay here and rest. Nobody will disturb you here.

However, if your father gets angry,

it has nothing to do with me.

Yu Shi.

Young Master.

Arrange a room for Ms. Xiao.

Okay. All right.

Young Master, I have matters to report to you.

Tell me then.

We should talk about it outside.

Go on ahead.

Okay.

She's the heiress of the family.

She came here to sleep and didn't go home.

This will cause trouble.

Our relationship with her family

has always been on the edge.
