[Episode 3]

Who hired you?

You should thank the one who hired me.

They forbade me from killing you then.

I'm asking you. Why did you kill my master?

Would you like to find out?

Release me.

You're aware.

As a professional assassin,

I cannot expose my employer's identity.

That was part of the deal.

However, if you release me,

perhaps we can make a deal.

Open sesame.

It seems you're no longer needed.

Spit it out!

What happened?

We're being hacked.

They infiltrated the power grid of the police bureau.

What about the backup power?

These hackers are professionals.

They attacked the bureau's firewall.

We're unable to activate the backup power.

What about the cell?

Check the cells.

All right.

This is bad. The cells are unlocked.

Intercept their operation. We mustn't allow Jia Lai to escape.

- Track them down. Check out who's behind this. - Yes, sir.

Come with me.

What's the matter?

They shut the server down.

Let me try again.

I'll try to enter from the shared server.

Lose no time.

They intercepted our operation.

What's the situation?

Stop rushing me. I'm on it.

The opponent is an expert.

He even managed to find the open ports of the internal network.

I currently intercepted part of their attempt.

Are you able to trace the IP?

Yes. Our firewall is equipped with a UDP Monitor.

I'm tracking them instead.

They are focused only on attacking the bureau.

They neglected defense.

Is it time yet?

It's done.

Do not move!

Just in time.

Boss, do you think Jia Lai will be able to escape?

That depends on how good he is.

Boss, isn't our hidden IP too obvious?

Aren't you worried that they'd track us down?

We made it simple to leave them some clues.

This serves as an announcement.

Meng Liang is back.

I'm worried they won't come for us.

I understand.

Retreat. Let's return to the base.

This time, the hackers infiltrated the power grid of the police bureau and caused chaos.

Actually, their goal was to free Jia Lai.

Li Junjie and Shi Yunhao were present at the bureau...

and obstructed Jia Lai's escape.

I tracked the IP address of the hacker.

Although they made attempts to hide it, we managed to find some traces.

The final location we tracked down was at the main street outside of MOIS.

During the incident, a stolen vehicle was parked outside.

While tracking the vehicle, we found out that the culprit of this intrusion...

is the infamous intelligence broker, Meng Liang.

We investigated his immigration records...

and realized he's still in Bacheng.

Meng Liang?

Yes. He's a dangerous criminal wanted by Interpol.

Regardless if he was behind the intrusion this time,

as long as he's still in Bacheng, he'll return for Jia Lai.

The Security Department authorized his arrest.

During the arrest, any resistance will be met with execution.

According to the surveillance information provided by the police,

Meng Liang was seen frequenting this bar.

The target showed up at the bar.

Await my orders.

These glasses fit you very well. Try them on.

What do you think? Aren't they pretty?

Yes, they are.

The situation hardly permits an arrest.

I'll find a way to lead him into the room.

In my opinion, these glasses suit you better.

Let me check you out from this angle.

Look.

Sir, is this seat taken?

A beauty like you wants to sit next to me.

It's my pleasure. Please.

Zixuan approached the target.

Pretty lady, may I buy you a drink?

Sure.

Bartender, a glass of Shirley Temple.

Do you frequent this place, Miss?

Just a couple of times.

I enjoy the ambiance here.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

My name is Meng Liang.

Just call me Maggie.

Ms. Maggie, cheers.

Your nose is so pretty.

Really? You'd look better if you hold your head a little higher.

Ms. Maggie, your beauty is mesmerizing.

I can't help but get excited.

May I invite you to dance?

A dance?

My apologies. I can't dance.

Since you don't feel comfortable, forget it then.

There are more people today than usual.

It's suffocating.

Would you like to go to my room instead?

Get ready to take action.

This is Jiang Hua.

The target took the bait.

Get ready to move out.

Copy.

Mr. Meng Liang, you're pretty straightforward.

It's a little inappropriate.

Since it's inconvenient for you,

forget it then.

However, I'm pretty interested in the...

wine you were talking about.

Sure. You're really easygoing, Ms. Maggie.

I must give you a greeting gift.

How generous of you.

I hope you'll like it.

Ms. Zhou Zixuan.

Senior agent of MOIS.

Captain of the operation team.

What's in the case?

Do you like it?

It seems like he has an electronic detonator at hand.

Rewind. Check out what's in the case.

It's a remote-controlled explosive device.

Call for the bomb disposal expert.

Young man, stop working. Come over.

Shi Yunhao, a member of MOIS.

Your bartending skills aren't bad.

Honestly, I'm more interested in the chap over there.

May I speak to him?

Junjie, come here.

Li Junjie, snap out of it.

Ms. Zhou over here saw me activating the C4's timer...

with her own eyes.

A duration of six minutes.

Let's play a game.

Of course, there are rules in every game.

First, see me activating the C4's timer...

Second, you're not allowed to evacuate the crowd.

Third, we have to leave this place safe and sound.

Do not attempt any tricks.

I'm equipped with surveillance here.

If any of the rules are violated,

I'll detonate the bomb anytime.

I'm sure you're aware of the power of C4.

At worst, all of us will die here.

Despite evacuating the people in the bar,

it's impossible for you to evacuate the entire building.

Well, there isn't much time for you left.

Hurry up and get to work.

Good luck.

What's going on?

Do not surround the area to avoid evoking panic.

Spread out.

Avoid making a scene.

Maya. Maya!

I hear you.

Log into the surveillance system here.

Replay the footage of the past minute.

Copy that.

What's the current situation?

Come on! Speed up!

Junjie, speak to me. How much time is left?

Four minutes and 30 seconds.

Don't worry.

This is a common password-activated bomb.

It's made up of two C4s and two detonators.

The installation isn't complicated.

You may try to remove the timer.

If you remove it, things should be fine.

However, do not move the bomb.

Understood.

Maya, cut into the surveillance system immediately.

We must avoid hurting any civilians.

I need to evacuate the bar immediately.

Hold on. Footage will be switched at once.

Boss, look at them.

They are terrified to move.

I suppose Li Junjie doesn't have the guts to defuse the bomb.

Do not underestimate him.

You do not know him.

This brat doesn't play his cards conventionally.

I'm dying to see him defusing the bomb.

Getting ready to switch footages.

Evacuate immediately! There's a fire!

- There's a fire? - There's a fire!

- Hurry up! Run! - Hurry up!

Let's hurry!

Hurry up!

Faster!

Come on!

Let's go!

Let's make a bet.

What kind of bet?

Let's bet on which cable he's going to cut.

What do you think?

Sounds good. Let's give him a moment.

Watch if you do not believe me.

There's a red wire at the base. A black one as well.

Which one should I cut?

Which color should he choose?

Cut the black one.

The timer is stopped.

What a relief. They should be fine now.

Boss, check this guy out.

The footage is being replayed.

So this is how they want to play?

The timer reactivated.

There's a hidden device.

What?

There's another hidden device?

The bomb is too complicated.

You can't defuse the bomb on your own.

I suggest you retreat at once.

Hello.

Hand the phone to Li Junjie.

Li Junjie.

How dare you trick me?

You switched the footage.

Have you evacuated the people from the bar...

safely?

You violated the rules. That's the first rule of our game.

Isn't that inappropriate?

Boss, the live surveillance is back on.

The three of you should try escaping.

Let's see if my fingers are faster...

or the three of you are faster.

Brat, do not mess with me.

My patience is limited.

This is your last chance.

It seems like there's no other way.

He knows all our moves like the back of his hand.

We have no choice but to defuse the bomb.

Quit standing around.

Figure something out.

What should we do?

I don't know.

Hurry up!

Listen up.

The only way to defuse the bomb is to cut the circuit.

The rate of success is...

How much?

More than 50 percent.

More than 50 percent.

You may cut one of those wires.

That's as far as we can help.

Go.

I said go.

I'm not going anywhere.

Take her away.

Which one should I cut?

The one on your mind is the one I want.

Which one should he cut?

The red one has the highest chance.

Cut the red one. It has the highest probability.

Boss, he's doing it.

I bet he'd cut the red one.

I bet he'd cut the green one.

Boss, let's just wait and see.

Why isn't he doing it?

There's no time. You need to cut the red one right now.

Colorful snakes are usually venomous.

The prettier the mushroom is, the more poisonous it is.

Cut the red one.

Thus, the more obvious it is,

it's more likely to end up as a trap.

Sun Tzu's Art of War also noted...

that a good fighter has full control of the situation.

What do you mean?

A strategic fighter is able to fully mobilize others...

instead of being controlled by the enemy.

What happens when we're left with no choice?

Your instincts.

Trust your instincts.

What do you think?

I was right about this kid.

Boss, you're impressive.

Cut the bootlicking.

Li Junjie.

Not bad at all.

I was right about you.

Open the C4 up.

Check out what's inside.

[C4: High Explosive]

It's strange, isn't it?

In the card game, Fight the Landlord,

two kings and four twos equal a bomb.

Check out the one next to you.

It's a pretty rose, isn't it?

Please give it to the beautiful Ms. Zhou Zixuan on my behalf.

What in the world is he up to?

Boss, awesome.

Time to retreat.

Those eyes.

I'll never forget them for the rest of my life.

Have you seen him when you were young?

Do you remember the incident I told you about when I was 12?

Yes.

I bid my parents goodbye for the first time.

They were headed to Bacheng to attend an important research project.

I clearly remember saying this to them.

Go home.

When are you coming home? It's my birthday next month.

Son, don't worry.

During your birthday next month,

your mother and I will be back.

You must keep your promise.

Promise me. Promise me.

I'll do it.

You're all grown up. Be good.

I'll be waiting for your return to celebrate my birthday.

Yes, wait for us to return. We'll bring you gifts, all right?

All right. We should get going.

Bye. Try your best not to miss me.

- Let's go. - Go on.

Bye.

- You should go home. - Bye.

That was my last time meeting my parents.

On my birthday, Meng Liang showed up instead...

with my parents' ashes.

It was him.

It seems like...

he came intentionally to meet you.

He wants you to recognize him.

Although I don't know what his true intentions are,

whatever they are,

you must be careful.

I understand how you feel about losing your loved ones.

Why won't you forgive me?

I'm not you.

I'd never leave without a word.

Ma Xiaojun, what's the matter with you?

Wait! Listen to me.

Did you realize?

After Junjie's reinstatement,

our missions have gotten really strange.

Are you asking me?

How would I know?

I realized.

Is it because he hasn't taken me under his wing?

If he took me in, don't you think things would be easier?

Yes, that must be the reason.

It's clearly because he hasn't taken me in.

I'm his lucky charm, don't you remember?

Would you like some water?

I'm not thirsty.

I'm going to get some water.

We have been trying to capture Meng Liang for over ten years.

He left a clue this time.

We found out he was heading to the bar.

It was our best chance at capturing him.

However, Meng Liang had a fake bomb set up.

He exposed himself.

He has only one goal,

to see us.

He placed a fake bomb there.

What does he mean? What is he telling us?

I have no idea.

The operation this time has nothing to do with you.

All that you've done was right. There were no mistakes.

Hello.

Yes, Commander Chen.

I know what to do.

Jia Lai will be handed to Interpol tomorrow.

I'm planning to leave the escort of Jia Lai to Jiang Hua.

Can you leave it to me?

The three of you should follow up on Meng Liang.

- Forget about Jia Lai. - No.

No one knows Jia Lai's intentions...

- more than I do. - I'm the boss here.

I know how to handle this matter.

- Leaving him to Jiang Hua is a mistake. - I'm your boss!

Whatever I say goes.

Get out.

Get out of here.

It's me.

I'm doing you a favor. I resolved the issue on your behalf.

Listen here.

MOIS will pass through Route 3 to drop Jia Lai at the military air base.

He will then be flown to the Interpol Headquarters.

This is your only chance.

I do not want to see Jia Lai in the city of Bacheng ever again.

Otherwise, life for him will be difficult.

Boss!

Look.

This is the venue of Jia Lai's handover.

Do not pull any tricks!

It's suffocating here.

Can I remove this now?

I'm warning you! Do not pull any tricks!

What should we do?

Yes.

Many are injured.

What's the situation ahead?

There has been a car accident.

Police officer, please save us.

Please save us!

Give them a hand!

They are trapped in the vehicle. Hurry up and rescue them.

Hurry up and rescue them.

Please, officer. I'm begging you.

Please save them.

I'm begging you.

Hurry up!

Please save them!

I'm begging you!

Be careful!

Sir, are you all right?

A report to the headquarters.

We're getting back on the road in three minutes.

Enlarge the footage.

All right.

Hurry up.

Communication is interrupted.

I'm rebooting it.

A report to headquarters.

Suspicious members are found at the scene.

Congratulations on regaining freedom, Mr. Jia Lai.

I'm Meng Liang.

You must be frightened.

Get a hold of the situation.

You'll head over there.

And you'll contact the police.

Were you in charge of transporting Jia Lai?

Yes, sir.

What the hell are you doing?

Can't you keep an eye on him?

What's going on?

I spent three years tracking Jia Lai down.

He's abducted just like that.

I should be the one to escort him.

You're directly responsible for this!

Watch your behavior.

The three of you.

Head to the scene at once and collect evidence.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Let's go.

MOIS's agents and the police aren't injured.

This doesn't seem like Jia Lai's modus operandi.

Check out this vehicle.

Contact surveillance team.

Track this vehicle.

Okay.
