Original subtitles

Her heart rate is back to normal.

Her condition has stabilised.

Her mind is trapped somewhere.

The doctors won't be able to help her.

Well, neither can you.

Maybe the Dream Raiding Machine can.

Professor Cheng.

Professor Cheng.

—Professor Cheng. —Taxi

I know you want to save Anya

but you mustn't be reckless.

That's just her body lying there

her consciousness is elsewhere.

I'm not letting you experiment on her again.

I'm not experimenting on her.

I want to connect to her mind

so I can find her and lead her out.

You're the neurosurgeon here.

Do you have a better suggestion?

If you don't, get out of my way.

I'll go with you.

Taxi!

What are you doing?

Hold on.

Hank?

Professor Cheng has been kidnapped.

Who did it?

Hank?

Bring him inside.

Aunt Li'an?

Where am I?

We're behind the gate.

What gate?

I've seen this gate before.

Dad said it appeared in your dreamscape.

Is this the Abyss of Consciousness

that Uncle Mo has been looking for?

I get it now. He wanted Dad to open this gate

so that he could save you.

I know. But it doesn't matter anymore.

Hi.

Hank said your dad had been kidnapped.

Don't worry. I'll find him.

We need to have a good talk after you wake up.

I wasn't acting on impulse that night.

I really like you.

I know Hank likes you too...

What am I saying?

What I'm trying to say is that

although I'm a divorcee

with a child

but you...

You're special.

You make me want to...

have a family again.

How's your love rival?

Intracranial haemorrhage. He's still in surgery.

You really did a number on him.

Not funny.

What about her?

She's asleep.

Any news on Cheng Tianli?

The security cameras in the area

recorded the kidnapping.

—Licence plate? —It's a stolen vehicle.

—Where was it stolen from? —Here.

It's him?

We've seen him at Theta Workshop

and Northern Industrial Company.

He's supposed to be in prison.

Hi.

It's you again.

So, Mo Qifeng did this.

Thanks to the detection program

he developed specially for you

whenever you conduct dream raiding

he can hack into the dreamscape

and see what you're up to.

That seductive woman in red you saw

wasn't really me.

I'm the real Belle.

I don't believe you.

You're dying.

The jab was poisonous.

And I'm the only one with the antidote.

How much time do I have?

Three hours.

That's enough time...

to save my daughter.

At first

you'll just feel pain.

A pain that will become excruciating.

When you're coughing up blood

it means your organs are breaking down

and liquefying, turning into a bloody gloop

that oozes out of your mouth

as you lie on the floor, dying.

Why did you bring me here?

What do you want?

I want you to raid my dream.

Raid your dream?

From the experiment on the 103 girls

in the basement laboratory

to the mass suicide brought on

by Theta Workshop's app

I realised every project I worked on

with Mo Qifeng had gone off the rails.

I suspect

he's carrying out other plans behind my back.

After Watanabe's death

I tried to recall

when we had acquired the mental health facility

behind Watanabe's back

but I couldn't remember anything.

You think Mo Qifeng hacked into your brain?

You're the only other expert on dream raiding.

Our upgraded Dream Raiding Machine

can establish a direct emotional connection

with the subject.

It's a revolutionary breakthrough

that should interest you.

I want you to piece together what he did to me

from the clues you can find in my mind.

Sure.

I'll help you after I save my daughter.

Your condition will worsen in an hour.

Make good use of your time.

They call themselves the Grey Wolves.

They're a group of mercenaries

from Southeast Asia.

The leader is Grey Wolf.

I can't pronounce his Thai name.

Supasek Amornchat.

They killed three university students

and tried to kill Che Na, Lucy Ding and me.

I can't believe they were only

detained for two days.

Actually, they weren't even detained.

They were wounded by grenades

so they were hospitalised for two days

before they were released on bail.

Who bailed them out?

—Northern Group. —That's a shell company.

SIU will look into them.

Northern Group is a massive criminal syndicate

that went unnoticed until they met us.

We just need to monitor the Grey Wolves

and they will lead us to Northern Group.

How? They have been released.

They could have skipped town

after kidnapping Cheng Tianli.

I found myself here after the explosion.

I tried ways and means to leave this place

but eventually, I realised

this place offers me a sense of peace

like no other.

Is this gate the exit?

I think so.

But it wouldn't open.

So, Aunt Li'an

you've been trapped here for ten years?

I'm not trapped.

This is the Northern District.

I can go anywhere in the world.

Let's look for Uncle Mo and my dad then.

They can't see us.

Can't you communicate with them?

Even if I could, what's the point?

I saw you, your dad and that detective

in the laboratory.

I know you like that detective.

But I can't talk to him now.

You'll get used to it.

Aunt Li'an.

Let's go back to the real world together.

I need you.

After my mum died when I was six

Dad cooped himself up in the university

and laboratory.

You were like a mother to me

for the longest time.

You were always there for me.

You taught me how to cook, put on makeup

cope with my life

and handle my first relationship.

I've always wanted a daughter like you.

We were so happy back then.

Uncle Mo said you had an affair with Dad.

Is that true?

It's not what you think.

Pass me the Phillips screwdriver.

Thank you.

OK. It's done.

Why are you here? I thought you were Qifeng.

Qifeng has been having insomnia.

He barely talks to me at home.

He's just preoccupied with his research.

What can I do to help him?

I feel so helpless.

You've been helping him with his experiments.

Seeing him so unhappy gets me down too.

Well, I'm the oldest child in my family.

It's second nature for me to feel responsible

for everything that goes on.

I'm the oldest child in my family too.

Yes, I remember I had to do

all the household chores

while my siblings could go out and play.

As much as you wanted to eat that last apple

you had to let your siblings have it.

By the way, do you want some?

Strawberries?

I'll pass. My hands are dirty.

Have some before Anya comes home

and eat it all up.

You're right, I'm her dad.

I should get first dibs on the strawberries.

It's pretty sweet.

Can I have another one?

I suspect he's suffering from depression.

Surely not. You're reading too much into it.

That's just the way he is.

I'll find a chance to talk to him.

I should go. Help yourself to the strawberries.

OK.

Your dad tried very hard

to help Qifeng get out of the dumps.

Trial run #106.

Dream raiding time

ten minutes and four seconds.

We failed to find the Abyss of Consciousness.

Qifeng.

I've found three students

to do a group experiment with us.

The nerve impulses of five people

should be able to lead us

to the Abyss of Consciousness.

Having more minds connected

will increase our chances of success.

No, it's too dangerous

to connect five people's minds at one go.

The Dream Raiding Machine hasn't been

stretched to its full potential.

I'm afraid the machine will crash.

We don't know what will happen then.

You might be stuck in the dreamscape forever.

That's better than failing all the time.

Hey, why don't you take a break?

Aunt Li'an and I made sushi for lunch.

Look, I made your favourite

shrimp and salmon sushi.

Go ahead without me. I'm not hungry.

Don't be disheartened.

Have some tea.

Don't gulp it down. It's bad for the stomach.

I don't have time to be sipping tea.

I should be out there working the case.

Hold on.

I have Grade-Two authority.

So what? You can grant us two days off?

You must've slept during your classes.

This computer is encrypted.

You have ten minutes.

Don't let me catch you surfing porn.

What can you do with Grade-Two authority?

What's the licence plate number of the stolen van?

BCO-9453.

Grade-Two authority allows you access

to all traffic cameras in the Northern District.

The system can track specific vehicles

and arrange the footage in chronological order.

This will lead us all the way to the crooks.

Captain, you should've given us

this access earlier.

I have to write five reports each time I use it.

Cheng Tianli, where the hell are you?

Who will control the mainframe?

AI.

AI?

Rabbit.

Mo Qifeng. Now, the whole world

thinks you're dead.

I can give you a new lease of life.

Perfect.

No way.

I'm not Mo Qifeng.

I'm not.

You've been recuperating here for six months

and you've had five surgeries.

It's time to talk about your medical bill.

To pay off your medical expenses

you have to work for me for the next ten years.

I heard that skin grafts come off easily.

Watanabe is obsessed with

the development of Super Mind.

You must help me come up with a prototype

before the other R&D teams do.

All right, don't be so depressed.

All experiments come with risks.

Is this Mo Qifeng's experiment on twins?

That's enough.

Stop telling me that lives are precious.

This is the price you have to pay

to be on the forefront of neural engineering.

If you still can't produce results

the board of directors will cut our funding.

I won't have the money to keep your wife alive.

Li'an?

Feeling more motivated now?

Please make good use of your time.

Another pair of 16-year-old twins

will be sent here at 3.00pm.

Their names are Chang Cheng and Chang Jian.

I can feel Qifeng's physical pain

and his sense of utter helplessness

as Belle made him the monster he is today.

His life has been a living hell.

Li'an is probably his only hope of salvation.

Li'an.

How will you deal with this if you come to?

Don't you want to leave this place?

The first half of my life

was like a nightmare I couldn't wake up from.

I even contemplated suicide

before I married Qifeng.

But in my memory

you were vivacious and passionate about life.

Even with the knowledge of psychology

I couldn't keep my own depression in check.

I thought marriage would change me

given how passionate and romantic Qifeng was.

But in the end, I realised

he had a dark side that was more intense

than anyone else's.

So, you're giving up on the outside world?

Don't you feel lonely in here?

Relationships are painful.

But don't you wish to see Uncle Mo or my dad?

They are just fragments of my past.

That was too fast.

Don't remove it. Let's try again.

Qifeng.

That's enough.

You've already tried five times this morning.

Li'an needs a break even if you don't.

Are you tired?

My childhood and adolescence memories

keep surfacing in the dreamscape.

I don't want to go through them again.

Are there other ways to find

the Abyss of Consciousness?

Fine.

Why don't you use your expertise

in psychology to suggest an alternative.

It's beyond me.

Then shut up and cooperate with me!

Or why don't we relive your memories

as a social escort in the bar?

Why must you do this?

Unlike most memories

which are stored in the cerebral cortex

painful memories

are stored near the hippocampus.

The Abyss of Consciousness could be there.

I refuse.

What are you refusing?

Are you refusing to cooperate with me

or refusing to give me a chance to succeed?

Qifeng, she's right.

Perhaps you should change your approach.

Don't interrupt me when I'm talking to my wife.

I want to help you, but not this way.

How will you help me then?

Are you crazy?

Cheng Tianli, why are we here?

You can hear me?

What do you mean?

Haven't we been talking all along?

Hi. How did it feel to be me?

Relax.

Your headache's just a side effect

of the sudden surge in nerve impulses.

How much of my brain did you alter?

I've got the last fragment of consciousness

from Li'an's dreamscape.

She's trapped right behind this gate.

Help me open the gate now.

Are you sure she's behind the gate?

I've seen her there.

Open the gate now.

I don't know how to open it.

I saw what you've been through.

I understand your pain

but you've destroyed too many lives.

You need to turn back before it's too late.

Everything I did, I did it to bring Li'an back.

Unlike you, I'm not afraid of the unknown.

I'm confident I can control it.

I'll definitely bring Li'an back.

Has this happened before?

What makes you think I can open it?

You were there

when the gate opened ten years ago.

You're the key to opening the gate.

Do you see the effect you have on it?

I've tried this with more than 100 girls

and 30 pairs of twins.

None of them could bring about this resonance.

Dad?

Anya?

Dad is behind the gate. He's here to save us.

No!

Anya!

Rabbit!

No!

Mo Qifeng.

You built yourself a backdoor in the dreamscape.

You forget, but I'm a neural engineer too.

You never fail to surprise me.

We should continue our partnership.

So I can play the second fiddle again?

I'm not that stupid!

Can you bear to kill me?

Have you forgotten all we've been through?

But you've been lying to me.

You were just using me!

You roped me in

so you could seize control of Rhyzen.

We did it.

Rhyzen is ours now.

Thank you for making me the man I am today.

Don't bother looking at them.

I tripled their pay.

Clean the place up.

Punch me.

—Why? —I owe you one.

Why did you shoot?

We're on a mission now.

I know, but I owe you one.

An apology will suffice.

I won't apologise, I did nothing wrong.

Hey, tough guys.

Are we storming the place or what?

I don't want any awkwardness

when we're in there with our lives in the line.

We're even.

Awaiting your orders.

Fire!

Go!

Find Cheng Tianli.

Drop your guns!

Drop your guns or I'll kill him!

Fine...

Everybody, let's put down our guns slowly.

Here we go.

Put down your gun.

Get out!

OK...

I'm stepping back...

Get down!

Are you all right? Are you hurt?

They injected poison into me.

Poison? Where's the poison?

What is it?

It's just a sedative.

You once told me you won't be here for long.

How I wish I could convince myself that

you've just gone back to the US.

But I can't do it.

I really wish you'd wake up.

It feels weird without you around.

I miss the way you glare at me.

Now... I'm the one staring at you.

I'm in a dilemma.

Do you think I should keep Xiaoke with me?

Li Xiao, you're being selfish.

You have no time for Xiaoke at all.

You're being unfair to her.

I know I have no time for her, but...

I hate the idea of only seeing her once a year.

Try putting yourself in her shoes.

Even if she lives with you

she'll only see you once every few days.

—I know, but... —I'm not done yet.

But I... I just don't want to let her go.

So you want to be selfish

and keep Xiaoke by your side

so she can grow up alone like I did?

Perhaps you should learn to let go

and let her migrate to Singapore

so she can have a family

and grow up in the loving care of her mother.

I don't know what to do.

I just know I don't want to lose her.

Thanks for talking to me.

I feel much better now.

Li'an.

We're going home.
