[00:25] ---
    Good to see you, everyone!
[00:26] ---
    Don't forget to
    click the follow button, all right?
[00:30] ---
    Lu Guang, say something!
[00:33] ---
    Hi. Follow us.
[00:37] ---
    Mr. Lu?!
[00:40] ---
    Damn it, it's locked!
[00:42] ---
    Next, I'm supposed to...
[00:42] ---
    Break it down! Come on!
[00:51] (Flashback) ---
    He likely broke the window
    to draw your attention,
[00:54] (Flashback) ---
    and then hid in here to slip past you.
[01:13] ---
    You two check downstairs.
    I'll call Captain Xiao.
[01:40] ---
    Shit, he's not supposed to check in here!
[01:52] ---
    Hey, go over surveillance now!
[01:54] ---
    Oh, roger!
[02:07] ---
    Oh, we need to have
    the scene inspected...
[02:11] ---
    and set up a perimeter
    of vehicle checkpoints.
[02:20] ---
    Huh? My phone's already
    dead again. How's yours?
[02:24] ---
    You sure? Didn't you
    just forget to charge it?
[02:28] ---
    None of this is coincidence.
[02:40] ---
    You hardly ate. Won't you
    get hungry during your shift tonight?
[02:44] ---
    I'll be fine. Don't worry.
[02:45] ---
    What? Wasn't that Ouyang
    Bubai who just ran past us?
[02:49] ---
    Not possible. With his injury,
    he couldn't run like that.
[02:53] ---
    Qiao Ling was right.
[02:55] (Flashback) ---
    If you ask me, what has happened
    is inevitably what will happen.
[02:59] (Flashback) ---
    Amongst countless outcomes,
    Lu Guang sacrificed himself to save you.
[03:03] (Flashback) ---
    That fate is inevitable.
[03:07] (Flashback) ---
    "The past and future
    must not be changed."
[05:13] ---
    The orchard walls are
    high and hard to climb,
[05:15] ---
    And the place death,
    considering who thou art,
[05:17] ---
    If any of my kinsmen find thee here.
[05:18] ---
    With love's light wings
    did I o'erperch these walls,
[05:21] ---
    For stony limits cannot hold love out,
[05:24] ---
    And what love can do,
    that dares love attempt.
[05:27] ---
    Therefore thy kinsmen are no stop to me.
[05:33] ---
    If they do see thee, they will murder thee.
[05:37] ---
    Alack, there lies more peril in thine eye
    Than twenty of their swords.
[05:41] ---
    Look thou but sweet,
[05:43] ---
    And I am proof against their enmity.
[06:16] ---
    You were incredible today.
    I couldn't hold back my tears.
[06:20] ---
    This is my husband, Qian Jin.
[06:23] ---
    Oh, Lisa talks about you all the time.
    Captain Qian, the great detective!
[06:27] ---
    And you're the famous Da Shuai, right?
[06:30] ---
    Oh, please, just call me Zhuang Shuai.
[06:33] ---
    Lisa always says she's
    learned so much from you.
[06:36] ---
    Lisa is talented in her own right.
[06:38] ---
    It's a shame, though. Theatergoers nowadays
    are becoming fewer and farther between.
[06:44] ---
    Hey, don't forget, you promised
    to be supportive of my career.
[06:47] ---
    Of course.
[06:49] ---
    Speaking of, how was that new venue
    you two saw the day before yesterday?
[06:53] ---
    Lisa said the rent was lower, I think.
[06:56] ---
    The day before yesterday? A new venue?
    But we haven't found one yet?
[07:01] ---
    Oh, he means that old plant on Tiantong
    Road. We saw it after dinner, remember?
[07:07] ---
    Uh, r-right, I remember now. It was pricey
    and I didn't think we could afford it.
[07:13] ---
    Tiantong Road? I thought that old plant was
    rebuilt into commercial offices, wasn't it?
[07:20] ---
    O-Oh, there's a tiny space in the back.
[07:23] ---
    It's too small for an office,
    so they're trying to rent it out.
[07:26] ---
    Anyway, come on, let's all go eat.
[07:29] ---
    Oh, count me out.
[07:30] ---
    I don't want to be a third wheel.
[07:36] ---
    Captain Qian.
[07:38] ---
    Captain Qian?
[07:41] ---
    Captain Qian!
[07:42] ---
    Oh...
[07:44] ---
    Officer Chen, what brings you here?
[07:46] ---
    Have you gotten
    used to working with Xiao Li yet?
[07:50] ---
    Captain Qian.
[07:51] ---
    I heard you haven't been doing well lately,
    so I wanted to come check on you.
[07:55] ---
    Look at you. What's got you so out-of-it?
[07:59] ---
    It's nothing. You know how it is.
    We all work long hours.
[08:04] ---
    I must be getting old.
    I'm not built for it anymore.
[08:08] ---
    Why don't you go home
    and spend time with your wife?
[08:11] ---
    She's probably lonely home alone.
[08:13] ---
    My girlfriend's been upset about that too.
[08:16] ---
    Aren't you two about to get married?
[08:18] ---
    She's a good girl. Don't mess it up.
[08:21] ---
    Hey, we were talking about you!
    Don't try to spin this around.
[08:25] ---
    Well, my wife...
[08:28] ---
    Nope.
[08:29] ---
    Just stay by myself.
[08:32] ---
    Well, what can I do?
[08:34] ---
    It's been years like this.
[08:37] ---
    But lately, it's gotten harder.
[08:39] ---
    My back hurts after even a few times.
    Sometimes I can't walk straight.
[08:45] ---
    She's busy with her own stuff.
[08:48] ---
    No way, what are you talking about?
[08:55] ---
    Who said I can't fit into it?
[08:57] ---
    Just a few pounds after I got married.
[09:00] ---
    I'll just eat less at night.
[09:06] ---
    Qian Jin, that's enough. Don't you
    think you've had plenty to drink?
[09:27] ---
    Tell me,
[09:29] ---
    what the hell is the point
    of working so hard?
[09:33] ---
    I can't even keep my wife faithful.
[09:39] ---
    Come on, Xiao Li...
[09:41] ---
    Tell me.
[09:42] ---
    Who's to blame?
[09:46] ---
    Is it me?
[09:48] ---
    Is that man to blame?
[09:51] ---
    Or is she to blame?
[09:54] ---
    Come on, tell me!
[09:59] ---
    Say something, will you?
[10:02] ---
    Qian Jin,
[10:05] ---
    there's something...
    I should have told you sooner.
[11:14] ---
    Captain Qian? Why are you here?
[11:17] ---
    Tell me about the case.
[11:19] ---
    You have plenty on your plate.
    We can handle things here, sir.
[11:22] ---
    Why don't you—
[11:25] ---
    The decedents are a married couple.
    The wife was Liu Lan, age 38.
[11:29] ---
    The husband was Li Fan, age 42.
[11:31] ---
    The informant is a neighbor, Mr. Deng.
[11:33] ---
    From his account,
    he suspected domestic violence
[11:36] ---
    and called the police.
[11:38] ---
    The officers first on scene
    knocked but received no reply.
[11:41] ---
    Upon forced entry,
    the couple had no vital signs.
[11:45] ---
    The crime scene suggests they killed
    each other during a domestic dispute.
[11:50] ---
    The weapons were the household
    hammer and a kitchen knife.
[11:59] ---
    Oh, that's Mr. Deng, the informant.
[12:10] ---
    Uh...
[12:11] ---
    O-Oh, I'm sorry.
[12:14] ---
    I got distracted.
    Can you repeat the question?
[12:16] ---
    Oh, additionally,
[12:17] ---
    Liu Lan's two children were at the scene.
[12:20] ---
    We found the brother
    holding his younger twin sister.
[12:35] ---
    C-Captain Qian...
[12:49] ---
    Could you please tell me what happened?
[12:54] ---
    I killed them...
[13:25] ---
    Well then, you should go live with him.
[13:29] ---
    You said I could evolve to be
    a hunter in the jungle of men.
[13:33] ---
    I did.
[13:37] ---
    What do you think of me now?
[13:39] ---
    Hmm...
[13:41] ---
    You're a wounded wild beast now.
[13:44] ---
    Tell me, do you know the difference
    between a beast and a hunter?
[13:49] ---
    Is it that beasts are fiercer
    and hunters are more cunning?
[13:56] ---
    Nope.
[13:58] ---
    The difference is
[13:59] ---
    beasts only hunt when
    they're hungry, but hunters do not.
[14:03] ---
    Mr. Liu!
[14:10] ---
    But if you ask me,
[14:12] ---
    I'm sure you'll get the chance
    to be a real hunter someday.
[14:17] ---
    It's time. We'll be late
    unless we leave right now.
[14:21] ---
    Will we ever meet again?
[14:25] ---
    I'm sure of it.
[14:38] ---
    Are you two here to see someone?
[14:41] ---
    Yes, Mr. Liu Jing asked us
    to come see Mr. Liu.
[14:47] ---
    Mr. Liu, there's someone
    here from your father.
[14:55] ---
    I asked him to send them.
[14:57] ---
    Let them in.
[15:07] ---
    Come on, have one.
[15:09] ---
    Thank you.
[15:12] ---
    Your father told me what happened to you.
[15:15] ---
    I was sorry to hear.
[15:18] ---
    I know it was you who handled that woman.
[15:23] ---
    How can I be of service?
[15:25] ---
    Huh?
[15:27] ---
    Who's this?
[15:28] ---
    He looks pretty familiar.
[15:33] ---
    Hey, you, have we met?
[15:39] ---
    What, is he freaking mute or something?
[15:41] ---
    Mr. Liu, there's no need to swear.
    Can we focus on why we're here?
[15:45] ---
    "Swear"?
[15:48] ---
    Those dumbasses flaming me online
    is what you call swearing.
[15:53] ---
    I hear you help my father quite a bit,
    so how about it? Can you help me too?
[15:59] ---
    Certainly. We can send cease and desist
    letters to silence those defaming you.
[16:05] ---
    Oh, please.
[16:10] ---
    Like that would even work.
    You can't be serious.
[16:15] ---
    What I want is to silence
    those losers forever.
[16:25] ---
    And I know
[16:27] ---
    you're the man for the job.
[16:42] ---
    Mr. Liu,
[16:44] ---
    you've had a lot to drink.
    You're imagining things.
[16:47] ---
    Here, I've already picked one.
[16:55] ---
    If you're serious,
    it's not me you need to ask.
[17:00] ---
    It's him.
[17:15] ---
    So you're not deaf or dumb, huh?
[17:19] ---
    He's laughing, so he's on board, right?
[18:30] ---
    You know what?
[18:32] ---
    I bet that teacher has
    the hots for that woman.
[18:36] ---
    No wonder he always comes to visit!
[18:49] ---
    They must have something going on!
[18:51] ---
    They do, I saw!
[19:18] ---
    She's cheating on you!
[19:22] ---
    What a cuck!
[19:28] ---
    A real man wouldn't
    stand for such humiliation!
[19:32] ---
    You're the butt of everyone's joke now!
[22:08] ---
    I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
[22:15] ---
    I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
[22:49] (Flashback) ---
    Qian Jin,
[22:50] (Flashback) ---
    there's something...
    I should have told you sooner.
[22:54] ---
    When your wife was murdered,
    she was pregnant.
[22:59] ---
    That means...
[23:36] (Flashback) ---
    So you're not deaf or dumb, huh?
[23:40] (Flashback) ---
    He's laughing, so he's on board, right?
[23:54] (Flashback) ---
    Hey,
[23:55] (Flashback) ---
    I bet that teacher has
    the hots for that woman.
[23:59] (Flashback) ---
    No wonder he always comes to visit!
[24:04] (Flashback) ---
    They must have something going on!
[24:06] (Flashback) ---
    They do, I saw!
[24:21] ---
    Hey, bro,
[24:22] ---
    let's toast, to the death
    of a piece of filth. Cheers.
[24:32] (Flashback) ---
    But if you ask me,
[24:34] (Flashback) ---
    I'm sure you'll get the chance
    to be a real hunter someday.
[25:26] (Flashback) ---
    Lu Guang?
[25:27] (Flashback) ---
    Why are you here?
[25:38] (Flashback) ---
    What's happening?
[25:40] (Flashback) ---
    Where am I?
[25:41] (Flashback) ---
    Cheng Xiaoshi!
[25:49] ---
    In this inevitable fate,
[25:52] ---
    what has happened
    is inevitably what will happen.
[25:56] ---
    But even so...
[25:59] ---
    I'm so sorry, Lu Guang.
[26:03] ---
    Because it's you,
[26:05] ---
    I refuse to go down this path.
