=Episode 1=

Captain Zhang,

the victim's identity is confirmed.

She was a physicist,

who seemed to be famous.

Cause of death?

No sign of homicide.

We found sleeping pills at the scene.

According to the forensic expert,

it was suicide by overdosing on
sleeping pills.

What's going on?

The scene has been taken over
by the military.

Please cooperate.

The military?

Why is he here?

Hasn't he been suspended?

This is a military order.

Thanks, comrade.

Please handle the transition quickly.

Thanks for cooperation.

At this time of crisis,

he's still playing Snake.

Captain Shi always says that

handling a case is like playing Snake.

We should be both persistent

and patient.

Shen, have you finished
investigating the scene?

Captain Shi,

preliminary investigation
indicates suicide.

Here's the evidence.

Captain Shi,

the commander in chief said,

tomorrow's meeting would still be on.

Physics doesn't exist, again?

We have to invite
several scientists in person.

I'll bring them over.

Invite them.

Everyone, today is June 5th.

Welcome to Interact with Science.

Another regrettable incident

has occurred in scientific circles.

Yang, a famous physicist,

committed suicide at home
on June 3rd at night.

It is known that

several scientists committed suicide

in the past two years.

It's a disaster

for scientific circles.

So, we've invited Pan Han,

a famous biologist,

to share his views on this matter.

Hello, Mr. Pan.

Hello.

You correctly predicted
the ecological disaster

caused by genetically modified crops.

Now,

what do you think of
the scientists' suicides recently?

I always believe that

the over-development
of science and technology

is a disease of human society.

The explosive development of technology

is like the rapid spread of cancer cells.

In the end,

the hosts will both be killed.

You mean...

Who can survive the earth's destruction?

Coming.

As a scientist,

I've only realized it earlier than others.

So in your opinion,

what should we do to avoid...

You are...

Are you Wang Miao?

Excuse me,

you can't smoke here.

Captain Shi.

Sorry, Professor Wang.

We're with the Public Security Bureau.

This is Captain Shi Qiang.

Fine.

The hallway,

we can talk in the hallway.

Sorry, you can't smoke there either.

What can I do for you?

Professor Wang,

we want to know if you've

had any recent contacts with members

of the Frontiers of Science.

Have you?

The Frontiers of Science

is a very influential

international academic organization

full of famous scholars.

And it's legal.

Why can't I have contact with it?

Look at the way you talk.

Did I say anything
about it not being legal?

Did I say anything about you not
being allowed to contact them?

Did I?

Please respect my privacy.

I don't need to answer your questions.

Your privacy, seriously?

You're a famous academic.

Don't you have a

responsibility toward
the public welfare?

As an average citizen,

I also have the right to not answer.

Please leave.

Wait!

Did I permit you to close the door?

Give him the address and phone number.

You can come by in the afternoon.

What are you really after?

What are we really after? I...

Professor Wang.

Just now...

Please don't misunderstand.

There's an important meeting
this afternoon,

to which several scholars
and specialists are invited.

The general sent us to invite you.

I'm busy this afternoon.

I know.

You have an interview with

two science magazines.

And your lab has a meeting at 3 o'clock.

Don't worry.

We have

rescheduled those for you.

The general already spoke with the head

of the Nanotechnology Research Center.

This is my ID.

OK.

I'll be there on time.

How could

a scientist be so rude?

Captain Shi, let's go.

What's wrong with Shi Qiang?

The general specifically requested him.

I guess he must have
some special skills.

How can a man like that be part of
the Battle Command Center?

Battle Command Center?

Please wait here for a moment.

Someone will pick you up.

OK, thanks.

Professor Wang.

I'm sorry.

I was too rude this morning.

My leader criticized me

and let me pick you up

in order to apologize to you.

What do you think of the place?

Do you think it's strange?

Everyone thinks it's strange
when they first come here.

Why is such a secret organization

set up in this place?

It was supposed to be an art museum.

But it was requisitioned before opening.

Come on, let me give you a tour.

Come.

I hear that you're researching
some kind of

new material?

Yes.

Nanomaterial.

I heard that a strand

of that stuff could be

used to lift up a truck.

If criminals steal some

and make it into a knife,

can't they

slice a truck in half with one stroke?

First, there's no need to
even make it into a knife.

That kind of material can be made

into a line as thin as
one-hundredth of a hair.

If you string it across a road,

a passing car would be

sliced into two halves like cheese.

Second,

what can't be

used for criminal purposes?

Even a dull knife
for descaling a fish can.

You're right.

Even a fish can be made into a weapon.

I handled a murder case once.

You know what the murder weapon was?

A frozen tilapia
taken out from the freezer.

The spines

along its back

were like razors.

You're Captain Shi Qiang, right?

Yes.

That's me.

Did you ask me to the meeting

just to talk about this?

No, no, no.

Nothing to do with those.

I was chatting with you

and showing you around. Look.

This museum is enlightening.

It tells us that all human beings
will eventually die.

After they die, they'll become

big skeletons like this.

I don't agree with you.

We'll be cremated after we die.

And this is a fossil.

Right.

Do you think there will be sarira
after scientists are cremated?

Come on.

Let's walk and chat.

Comrades,

let me introduce our guests
before the meeting.

This is

a marines colonel of Country M
in the North American Combat Zone,

Mr. Stanton.

This is an army colonel of Country T,

Mr. Mike.

Meanwhile,

they are liaisons of the

North American Combat Zone

and the European Combat Zone.

These two comrades...

All these guys want is to
get information out of us,

but they never tell us anything.

As for Oceania,

Asia...

I've been here for a while,

and I still don't know anything,
just like you.

...and

the United Nations,

I won't introduce

their representatives one by one.

Comrades,

let's get started.

Yes.

Today,

Comrades.

- We call each other comrades here.
- I will brief all comrades

Comrades.

at the meeting.

Of all the combat zones around the globe,

this one has become the focal point.

Recently,

the enemy has intensified
the pattern of attacks.

Their targets

remain elite scientists.

Professor David, a pioneer

in the detection of cosmic neutrino
of Gadayork University,

committed suicide a month ago.

Hart, the astrophysicist of Country A,

committed suicide 13 days ago.

Country T

is the disaster zone
of scientists' suicides.

Professor August in the field
of precision spectroscopy,

Professor Bauer who engaged in nuclear
structure study, and another three scientists

died one after another.

Recently,

the number of scientists that
committed suicide around the globe

has increased sharply.

In front of you is a list

of scientists that committed suicide.

Take a look.

Professor Wang,

as you look through these names,

does anything strike you?

They are all famous scholars

working at the forefront of...

You know her?

You don't know her,

but want to know her?

All the physicists on this list

have committed suicide

in the last two months.

When did this happen?

Professor Wang means

the last name.

Yang Dong, right?

Yang Dong was the last
to commit suicide.

Two nights ago,

she overdosed on sleeping pills.

She died very peacefully. No pain.

Why did they do this?

The only thing we can be sure of is

the same reason

drove all of them to suicide.

Most scientists

questioned in their suicide notes that

physics didn't exist.

The document contains
their suicide notes.

Everyone can examine them
after the meeting.

Yang Dong's isn't included.

Dr. Ding,

would you please

show Yang Dong's note
to Professor Wang?

Hers is the shortest and
the most representative.

Thanks.

He was Yang's boyfriend.

I know.

You know?

He's a famous physicist
who discovered the macroatom

while studying ball lightning.

All the evidence
points to a single conclusion:

physics has never existed,

and will never exist.

I know what I'm doing is irresponsible.

But I have no choice.

Physics doesn't exist.

Today we'll discuss
an organization called

the Frontiers of Science.

According to our investigation,

most of the scientists
who committed suicide

had some

connection with the organization.

Dr. Ding,

since you're a theoretical physicist,

can you give us more background on it?

I have no direct connection
with the Frontiers of Science,

but it is famous in academia.

Its core goal is a response
to the following:

since the second half
of the twentieth century,

physics has gradually lost

the concision and simplicity
of its classical theories.

Modern theoretical models have become
more and more complex, vague, and uncertain.

So they want to use

the methods of science
to discover the limits of science,

to try to find out if there is a limit

to how deeply and precisely
science can know nature,

a boundary beyond which
science cannot go.

But with the development
of modern physics,

humans seem to have

touched such a line.

Dr. Ding,

could you make it clearer?

I've made it clear enough.

Dr. Ding,

sorry for your loss.

Let me introduce myself,

Chang Weisi.

According to our investigation,

most of the scholars
who committed suicide

had some connection
with the Frontiers of Science,

and some were even members.

Of course,

they've committed no crime.

We heard that

they contacted you recently, right?

Yes.

They invited me to their gatherings.

Could you tell us

more details?

Yeah.

Including the names of your contacts,

the times and locations of meetings,

the content of your conversations,

and if you exchanged letters or

e-mails...

Shi,

behave yourself.

This isn't an interrogation.

Professor Wang,

go ahead.

The one who invited me

was Shen Yufei,

a foreign physicist.

She currently works for
a foreign-invested company,

researching nanotech.

We met at a

technical conference.

At the conference,

she introduced a few

other physicists to me,

some Chinese, some foreign.

And then?

Then nothing.

We don't have many common topics.

Why?

My work is in applied research,

but they talked about
fundamental physics.

I don't know much about

theoretical matters.

So, basically,

I was listening to
their discussions and arguments.

But all of them were

deep thinkers

with novel points of view.

Though I was only listening,

I felt that I was

opening my mind.

Didn't they ask you to join them?

They did.

But my time and energy were limited,

so I declined.

Tell the truth.

That's what I'm doing.

I don't need to hide anything from you.

If physics doesn't exist,

what will happen to your nanotech?

I said my work was in applied research.

Even if physics doesn't exist,

I can still carry on nano experiments.

Professor Wang,

the main reason
we invited you over today

is to ask you to join the organization.

We'd like to learn more about

the internal workings
of the organization.

You want me

to be a mole?

A mole!

What's so funny?

You're right.

We just want to know

some internal information.

I'm sorry, General.

I cannot do this.

Professor Wang.

It's complicated to investigate

this organization.

For us,
it's like walking across thin ice.

Without your support,

we cannot make any progress.

I am

very busy at work.

I just don't have the time.

I'm so sorry.

Thank you for coming here today.

I'm sorry for wasting your time.

It's better this way.

I disagree with the plan anyway.

So many bookworms
have already killed themselves.

If we send him,

he'd be a meat dumpling
thrown to the dogs.

The way you speak is not
appropriate for a good police officer.

I'm not a good cop anyway.

We don't know why

these scholars killed themselves.

You shouldn't

speak of them so contemptuously.

Their minds have made

so many contributions to humanity.

They're irreplaceable.

What do you mean?

You're saying they're better than me?

At least I wouldn't kill myself just because
someone told me some bullshit.

Professor Wang,
I have no confidence in you.

Not at all, really.

You think I would kill myself too?

I have to be concerned
about your safety.

There's no need.

I would be much safer than you
in such situations.

A person's ability to discern the truth

is directly proportional
to his knowledge.

I'm not sure about that.

A man as vulnerable as you...

Shi!

Let him speak.

Maybe some people just

can't understand

what kind of person a scientist is.

Anyway, I must warn you

not to go to the Frontiers of Science.

You mustn't go to
the Frontiers of Science.

The dead can't be brought back to life.

I don't want to see anyone die again.

I want him to remain alive after a while.

Shi,

get out.

Of course I'll stay alive.

But I never want to see you again.

Anyhow, I want to see you again.

That's just his personality.

He's actually

a very experienced criminal police

and anti-terrorism expert.

Over 20 years ago,

he was a soldier in my company.

Given the current situation,

we really need him.

Professor Wang,

you can ask me any questions.

General Chang,

what did everything you talked about

have to do with the military?

War has everything to do with the army.

War?

Where is this war?

There isn't any hot spot in the world.

This is probably the most

peaceful period in history.

Soon,

you and everyone

will know everything.

Do you mean that

we are teetering on the brink of war?

Professor Wang,

I have a personal question for you.

Have you ever had anything
happen to you before?

I mean the thing that

changed your life completely,

like when you wake up from sleep,

you find the world has become

a totally different place.

No.

Then your life has been fortunate.

The world is big

and full of unpredictable factors,

yet you have never

faced a crisis.

But that's true of most lives.

Then most people have lived fortunately.

But many generations

have lived in this plain manner.

All fortunate.

No, General Chang,

I have to confess that

I'm not feeling very sharp today.

Are you suggesting that...

Yes.

The humankind has been fortunate.

From the Stone Age till now,

no real crisis has occurred.

We've been very lucky.

But if it's all luck,

then it has to end one day.

Let me tell you,

it's ended.

Prepare for the worst.

Then...

The car is waiting.

Goodbye, Professor Wang.

The number of scientists that

committed suicide around the globe
has increased sharply.

Anyway, I must warn you

not to go to the Frontiers of Science.

You mustn't go to
the Frontiers of Science.

The dead can't be brought back to life.

Her death is related

to her scientific findings.

All the evidence

points to a single conclusion:

physics has never existed,

and will never exist.

I know what I'm doing is irresponsible.

But I have no choice.

Mr. Wang,

are you shooting the accelerator?

Have you checked everything?

Rest assured.

The nano-components

our lab provided
for the accelerator is perfect.

The accelerator will finally be
put in use today.

Having cost more than 20 billion yuan,

it's the third one in the world
and the first in Asia.

I never thought that

such a young scientist would be
in charge of its first operation.

Dr. Yang Dong,

the results have come out.

Here is the test report.

The Superstring Theory's

collider test data.

Do you think this set of data is normal?

The three sets

are not correlated.

But,

Dr. Qian Xuesen said,

the abnormal is normal.

But I'm curious.

Where did the data come from?

Liangxiang Accelerator Experiment Base.

You know, my student,

Yang Dong,

just started the experiment.

It isn't finished, not are the data out.

There's nothing in the experiment.

Impossible.

So where did you get the data from?

Liangxiang Accelerator Experiment Base.

These are the

experiment data
Yang Dong will receive today.

Are the measurements correct?

Yeah.

No accuracy.

Miss fit of data.

Please fax me the results.

No test results. Not accurate.
And yet, you get them before.

Who are you?

How did you get these results?

Look at it.

It tries hard,

climbing over the bricks,

over the steel,

the glass.

Through the glass,

it sees you and me.

It thinks it couldn't get in

because it hasn't found
the crack on the glass yet.

It believes

a crack must exist.

I can give it the crack.

But it

got no choice.

Buddha bless my lord

to get out of misery.

It doesn't exist.

Not all these nonsense.

Organize these later.

Pay attention to this.

All these stuff should be sealed.

Ding Yi is a good choice.

First of all,

he's a scientist
working in fundamental physics.

And also,

he was Yang Dong's fiancee.

If he joins the Frontiers of Science,

it'll be advantageous to us.

I don't think so.

Why?

The members of the Frontiers of Science
are mostly

fundamental physicists.

Why would they contact Wang Miao?

Do you know Wang Miao?

♪ Everything is different though ♪

Yes.

A nanotech scientist.

Do you think there is a chance?

I've contacted him before.

His research
is far from mass production.

He published a paper recently,

If it really goes into mass production,

it's possible.
