Help me.

Help.

Help.

Help me.

Wen?

Help me.

Help you?

So you don't want to die?

Then why did you take the Red Dragon

right under the godfather's nose?

I thought you two were tired of living.

It was a misunderstanding.

My brother and I didn't do it.

You're dying, but you're still lying.

Do you think the godfather knows nothing?

No wonder

you're not on duty today,

but you still came here.

Where's the Red Dragon?

The ones from Yuedong got it?

Yeah.

Hai,

give me a hand.

I'll help you seize that punk.

You'll be my brother from now on.

I'll be at your service.

Wen,

do you think if the godfather wanted to keep you alive,

he would have let me come?

Hai,

listen to me.

I know Mr. Ma.

I bought meth from him.

Save me,

and I'll introduce you to him.

We'll work for him together

and make a fortune, okay?

Are you saying you know Mr. Ma?

Yeah.

How come I don't remember knowing you?

What do you mean?

Aren't you saying you know me?

You...You're Mr. Ma.

It's a secret.

The godfather doesn't know.

You're in luck.

Don't blame me, Wen.

[Producer Zhang Yimou]

[The First Shot]

[Episode 32]

You're hiding quite well,

Mr. Ma.

Yeah.

It's always been me.

Where are you?

Take a guess.

Xiaohai,

run! Don't come back!

So you're in the hospital.

Sorry for making you go there for nothing.

Are you

abandoning your sister?

I've left.

By the way,

I've taken Lucifer with me.

You've lost, Zheng Bei.

You've lost completely.

Tell Gu Yiran to get out now.

Okay.

Mr. Gu,

this is Xiong.

Do you copy?

Mr. Gu,

this is Xiong.

Do you copy?

Mr. Gu, do you copy?

Mr. Gu, do you copy?

Can I talk to my sister?

Your brother wants to talk to you.

Pass me the phone.

Xiaohai.

Yingzi, take care.

I've left.

I'm glad you've left.

Don't come back.

Zheng Bei, farewell.

Lucifer

is actually a modified version of Song Kang's batch of meth.

When Song Kang was arrested,

only two people knew the formula.

One was himself

and the other one

was Liu Bowen, the cook who helped him

make the drugs.

Later, Liu Bowen was also arrested

and locked up in Zhanzhou's First Prison.

It just so happened

that Jiang Xiaohai was locked up there too.

Zheng Bei,

you're quite smart.

He's hiding quite well.

Other than Liang Jiaju,

no one knew that

the person in charge of Lucifer was Xiaohai,

including me.

This didn't change until that day

at the drug processing factory.

Madam.

Madam,

this is for you.

[Mr. Ma]

Yingzi.

Why do you have Mr. Ma's phone?

Yingzi,

I'm Mr. Ma.

What?

Listen to me.

The manufacturing factory has been surrounded by the cops.

You need to leave the factory

right now.

You and your brother even lie to each other.

Deception

isn't always hurtful.

It can be protective.

Get her back.

Bandage her wounds.

Bei,

should we ask Director Gao

for a citywide blockade

to keep Jiang Xiaohai in the city?

If Jiang Xiaohai was still in Halan,

he wouldn't dare to call me

and tell me that he's escaping.

But if he has run away,

why did he call me?

Bei,

the police station next to the warehouse

called me just now.

The meth we seized has been stolen,

and so far,

Mr. Gu hasn't responded.

This is outrageous.

Apply for a citywide blockade.

Call Yao back.

Okay.

You stay here.

Xiaohai.

Yingzi,

wait for me.

I'll come to save you.

I'm tired.

I don't want to go through this again.

Don't come to save me.

Yingzi, wait for me.

We can't let our guard down.

We have no way of knowing

[Halan Public Security Bureau] if the third bomb actually exists.

We must investigate thoroughly,

even if there's only a slim chance.

Director Gao,

the warehouse was robbed.

What?

The drugs are gone.

Gu Yiran isn't there.

I've never seen a wanted man

so arrogant.

But Director Gao,

we have a large police presence at the potential blast sites.

We can't bring them back anytime soon.

What should we do?

We can't just let him escape.

According to the timeline,

Gu Yiyan should have been at the warehouse

to count the meth

when they stole it.

Now the meth is gone,

and so is he.

My guess is that both he and the goods are taken.

Even if we bring the police forces back

and start clearing possible locations,

once they leave Halan,

they'll be hard to track down.

Moreover, even if we get a witness,

we...

Hello?

Zheng Bei, it's me.

Where are you?

I'm on a ship.

[Dehouguang No. 1]

On a ship?

Yeah.

It's Gu Yiran.

The warehouse was robbed.

I was brought on board hiding in a box.

What kind of ship?

Where is it?

It's a cargo ship

on a river.

It's next to

an abandoned dock.

An abandoned dock?

In what direction?

The road took about

an hour.

To the northeast.

The northeast.

Isn't there

a small dock in Wujia Village

that's been abandoned for years?

Yeah. There's one at the river's head.

Yeah. It seems to be a small dock.

The ship isn't moving yet.

I don't know when they're going to sail.

Okay. Stay hidden.

I'll be right over with my team.

Director Gao,

they took advantage of the explosion

to run north.

They're loading all the drugs onto the ship now.

If they keep heading east,

we'll never catch them

once they get out of the country.

He can't get out.

We must stop them.

We can't let them get away.

Now we have to hurry

and contact the police at Songmen River.

I'll call Director Song.

You guys go first. Seize the time.

- Yes, sir! - Yes, sir!

I'll quickly request a deployment of police

from Songmen River.

[Halan Public Security Bureau] They'll coordinate with you

in carrying out the operation.

We can't let the drugs leave the country.

[Dehouguang No. 1]

Dong?

Dong?

Dong.

Freeze!

Hands up, Li Wenlong.

How did you get on board?

Keep your hands up!

Guys!

Drop your gun.

Kick it over here.

Tell them to drop their weapons.

Sail.

Stop moving!

You're alone?

You followed us from the warehouse.

You only have one bullet.

There are two of us here.

Figure out who you'll shoot.

You only have one chance.

Freeze!

Cuff him!

Don't move!

Stop there!

Stop there!

Freeze!

I don't need to choose this time.

Gu Yiran,

release me,

and I'll tell you where your dad is.

Shut up.

Yao!

Cuff him.

Behave!

Don't struggle. Move.

Xiong.

We didn't find Jiang Xiaohai.

Move.

Move.

Move.

Zheng Bei,

[An hour ago]

Farewell.

Hey, you're at the dock, right?

Yeah. I'm loading.

Have you got Madam out?

There was some trouble,

but I've solved it.

Wait for us to meet up.

Okay.

Du, go get some warm water.

Don't move.

Your hands.

Sit down.

Sit down.

Jiang Xiaohai,

do you know what you're doing?

Yeah.

Guozhu,

what's Jiang Yingzi doing?

If you want to live, respond wisely.

Everything's fine, Bei.

Jiang Yingzi is asleep.

Don't worry.

Have you had lunch?

Yeah.

I had a spicy sauce roll. It was nice.

You know your stuff.

Guozhu,

take a break.

Why did you come back?

Get out now.

Yingzi,

congratulations on your discharge.

I went to lengths

to draw the police here

to prevent you from coming back to save me.

Why did you come here?

No wonder you had to make such a scene.

You want to force me to leave.

But by the time you caused trouble,

I was already in the hospital.

Get out of my way!

Don't do anything stupid.

Step back!

But there's a silver lining to your mess.

That phone call just now

made Zheng Bei think that I've already left.

It'll be easier for us to get out now.

You're taking a huge risk, you know that?

Yingzi, I've arranged a route out of the country.

but it won't work if I leave by myself.

Do you remember Haishenwai's Mr. Qi?

Yeah.

Song saved his life.

He's already agreed to take us to leave,

but we must leave together.

Let's go.

Easy.

Should I call you Xiaohai

or Mr. Ma?

Yingzi,

I'm sorry I kept it from you.

I don't need to do that from now on.

Where's Mao?

What about Mao?

After we leave Halan,

you'll see Mao.

Where's Long?

Long

robbed Lucifer.

He's waiting for us at the dock.

Let's go meet up with him.

Yingzi,

I told him to send a text

every five minutes.

He's gone dark now.

The police must've caught him.

Don't worry, Yingzi.

We have other ways.

That batch doesn't matter.

I have Lucifer's formula and technique

memorized.

Mr. Ma,

you've hidden quite well.

I didn't realize until now

that Liu Bowen gave you Song's formula

while you were in Zhanzhou's prison.

When I went to prison,

I was just a kid,

but the other inmates weren't nice to me

just because I was young.

I was bullied every day for the first two years.

I had to protect myself.

Later on,

I managed to protect not only myself

but also other people.

One of them

was Liu Bowen.

Look at me.

What are the rules here?

I've been teaching you, but you keep forgetting.

How can you be so stupid?

Stay down.

He was grateful to me.

He said he didn't know how to do anything but teach,

and then he started teaching me chemistry.

Look.

I was destined to go down this path.

I wasn't forced.

Yingzi, don't feel sorry for me.

I improved the formula of Lucifer.

I killed the pushers who robbed the business.

The bombs that blew up in Halan

were my doing.

I ran the entire meth group.

I've killed several people.

I've made so many goods

and so much money.

I chose this path myself.

Yingzi,

I'll only find relief with you by my side.

From now on,

I'll take care of you.

We're almost there.

Two more kilometers and we'll be out of Halan.

Jiang Xiaohai.

Get out.

Jiang Xiaohai!

Get out.

Get out.

Keep your hands up.

Slower.

Slower!

Come here.

Come here.

How did you find out?

Have you had lunch?

Yeah.

I had a spicy sauce roll.

It was nice.

There are two people on the team

who can't handle spicy food.

Who's the other one?

This brat.

Me.

You know your stuff.

What's wrong, Bei?

You all get out and head to the dock.

We can't let the drugs leave the country.

Jiang Xiaohai has come out.

Turn around.

Squat down.

Cuff yourself.

Turn around.

Xiaohai!

Run!

Run now!

Go!

Freeze!

Stop moving!

Cuff her!

Police! Freeze!

Jiang Xiaohai.

Stop running.

Xiaohai, stop struggling.

I won't let you off.

There's no going back for you.

Zheng Bei, I've always known there's no turning back for me.

Jiang Xiaohai,

don't force me.

Don't make me fire.

Zheng Bei.

Last time, you left.

This time, can't it be my turn?

I know

that you can only survive

by running away now,

but I have no choice.

You're a drug dealer.

I'm a policeman.

Ready. Three, two, one.

Halan. Cheese.

After 195 days,

the major drug case 402 in Halan

has been solved.

The police have completely dismantled the Lucifer Cartel.

All those involved in drug production and trafficking have been arrested.

[Admit guilt, confess, reform Know the law, abide by it, start anew]

Okay.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Found him.

Dad,

you've returned to your roots.

Rest in peace.

Nan.

Nan.

Stop trimming it.

If you keep going, he'll be bald.

What do you know?

He loves his bald look.

The fruit's there for you,

don't forget to eat it.

Got it.

[Halan Public Security Bureau]

Bei.

Morning.

Bei.

In August 1998,

the State Council approved the Ministry of Public Security

to officially establish the Narcotics Control Commission.

In response to the central government's directive,

Halan formed its first anti-drug detachment.

Zheng Bei was appointed as the captain.

Captain Zheng.

Bei.

[Halan Public Security Bureau Anti-Drug Detachment]

Comrades.

- Bei! - Bei.

The picture's ready.

Let me see.

What do you say?

Isn't it nice?

It's nice.

Hang it up.

Sure.

Yao, don't mess it up. It's crooked.

Higher. Go higher.

Move this side up.

Yeah.

Too much.

Get this side up.

Right there. Perfect.

That's good.

It's straight now.

Bei.

Director Gao is here!

- Morning, Director Gao. - Morning, Director Gao.

Morning, Director Gao.

Director Gao, perfect timing.

Let's take a picture together.

I just got scolded by Zhao.

You're still up to this?

Come on, Director Gao.

It's fine. I'll do the report.

Don't worry.

With a case this big,

how can I not worry?

It's fine, Director Gao.

Let's take a picture together.

The task force was just established today,

we have to take a picture.

Leave a good impression on the new guy.

Yeah, Director Gao.

Once you retire, you can hang this photo at home

and look at us every day. It'll make you happy!

Right, right, that's a great idea.

- Director Gao, have a seat. - Please have a seat.

Come on, no need to be shy.

Take that seat.

What are you doing?

You take the middle spot.

Okay.

Okay. Smile, everyone.

Sure.

Come on, Director Gao, give us a smile.

Be happy.

I can't smile.

Look how Mr. Gu is smiling,

like sunshine after the rain.

Give us a smile.

You can smile, Director Gao, you can!

Alright, listen to me.

One, two.

We serve...

the people!
