All language subtitles for Mobius.S01E04

How did you find me here?

Everyone around you

is a traitor.

No alcohol in the lab.

What kind of crap company

has this many rules?

Fine, you don't drink,

I will.

Everyone says you only got close to me

for my dad's angel investment.

They're right.

Because…

you are my angel.

DECEMBER 12, 2024, LOOP DAY TWO

DING QI: ARE YOU ALL ASLEEP?

GU SONG: WORKING HARD!

YU PEISHAN: NOT YET.

GENG ZEKAI: NO!

DING QI

I miss you guys, you…

QUOTE, UNSEND, DELETE

YOU UNSENT A MESSAGE.

Hungry? Want midnight snacks?

Hello.

Chief.

I'd like to request early deployment.

I just fell asleep.

What the hell do you want at this hour?

Something's going down today.

SURVIVORS

SURVIVORS

It's not the first time.

- You need to adapt to our work intensity.
- I'm sleepy.

- I don't dare sleep before midnight.
- I'm not sleepy.

I'm not sleepy!

Meeting time.

Meeting time.

What's the meaning of this?

Am I the only one missing?

And I even brought drinks for you all!

Gathering everyone so late

means urgent news.

Mo Yuanzhi

has several high-traffic events today,

perfect for Squid

to strike.

Casualties could be massive.

Qi, you're on point.

Let's assign tasks.

- Peishan, you're with Yu Shiya.
- Yes, Sir.

Fang Lu, keep eyes on Tang Xin.

Gu Song, stick to Han Yufei.

- Yes, Sir.
- What about me?

You two stay mobile. Wait for my orders.

From now on,

treat those three as if they are Squid.

Everywhere they go, everyone they meet,

even what they eat,

record every move and report to me.

- Yes, Sir.
- Got it.

Chief.

We need more manpower.

No problem.

When does surveillance start?

- Now.
- Okay.

Everyone, split up and act.

Report any developments immediately.

On it!

Stay safe!

Drinks.

MIZONE

System rebooted.

Thanks, Chief.

Good for you.

What's wrong?

Back then, gathering everyone
in the dead of night

meant only one thing:

the case was cracking open.

Good times.

What… what are you looking at?

I'll protect them.

Are you kidding me?

See?

This is the one.

I told them you'd been murdered.

They didn't believe me.

From now on,

you watch me.

Watch how I uncover

what you never got to learn.

When I find the person,

don't you let it go

in your world.

Hear me?

DECEMBER 12, 2024, EARLY MORNING
LOOP DAY TWO

The start of a day

is the best window to observe changes.

If they do,

something or someone forced it.

And that influencer

is probably the one
who senses the time loop.

Same as the last loop.

From now on,

I can't trust anyone around me.

And I…

have to act exactly like yesterday.

Morning, Qi.

Morning.

- Morning, Dr. An.
- Morning.

Dr. An.

Sorry.

Dr. An.

Mr. Mo.

Have a seat.

Is coffee okay?

Anything works.

Ever since Mr. Tang
and Mr. Han's incident,

the company's been in turmoil.

Some are vying for power.

Some are planning exits.

The rest just fear unemployment.

Frankly, barely anyone's focused on

actual work anymore.

Lately, the team's vibe

has been off.

Thank you.

Why did you thank me?

I've observed you.

You're the one
who's always stayed true to your duty.

No distractions, no hesitation.

Take a seat.

I wanted to talk to you about something.

Given the current state
of our R&D department,

no matter who takes over
as Chief Scientist,

it's bound to spark new conflicts.

But we must appoint a representative soon.

Otherwise, all subsequent work will stall.

So, Mr. Mo, you're asking

if I have any recommendations
for the position?

What I mean is…

I want you to take the role.

You think I can?

Let's hear what you really think.

I won't deny my ambition,

- but now…
- My only fear was that you lacked it.

Good.

Let's be clear.

My clock is ticking.

Han and Tang are gone.

And I could be next.

Could be what?

Nothing.

Nothing matters.

Not even Moma.

Let the whole complex collapse into dust,

I won't blink.

But the genetic research can never stop.

You're the only one…

who gets it.

The day you walked into my office,

I knew we were the same.

No matter how much wealth
the genetic research can bring,

we are scientists first.

I've been thinking,

if I directly appoint you
as Chief Scientist,

it may raise eyebrows.

I'll leave this position open for now.

In the meantime, you will be
the Chief's assistant

With this, the entire research team
will be in your hands.

If you have no objections,

I'll announce your appointment

at the upcoming shareholders' meeting.

Will the shareholders approve this?

Leave them to me.

Thank you for your trust, Mr. Mo.

I will dedicate myself
to excelling in my research.

I believe in you.

Let's go.

An Lan.

Join us for the second half
of the meeting.

Wait in the lounge for now.

On December 12 at 10:15 a.m.,

a major pile-up occurred

near Exit M15 on Highway One.

The crash left three dead,
several others seriously injured.

Rescue crews are on site

providing emergency aid…

Are you acquainted with Mrs. Mo?

Mrs. Mo hardly ever comes to the office.

She only shows up
for shareholder assemblies.

How's their relationship?

How would I know?

That's between husband and wife.

Police.

GENG ZEKAI

"Temporarily relinquish
executive control of the group."

What are you really thinking?

Mr. Mo is

under serious death threats.

This isn't just about the company,

it's about your life.

If you choose to temporarily
relinquish corporate control now,

perhaps…

Squid will cease targeting you.

Two concerns:

First, how long is "temporarily" exactly?

Second, if I step down,

who would assume
my day-to-day responsibilities?

You?

Your concern is unnecessary.

We will have shareholders' meeting
to hold a new election.

However, whether to terminate
your executive authority over the group

can be put to vote today.

You inherited shares,

not a position.

The only reason
you're sitting in your father's office

or even attending this executive meeting

is out of respect for Han Song.

Not for you.

Since I've inherited the equity,

I hold voting rights by law.

My vote is yes

to revoke Mo Yuanzhi's

executive authority
over MomaBiotechnology.

This vote carries

my father's authority.

I could walk away

from all the wealth.

But not from you.

Your safety is the one thing
I won't compromise.

They weren't entirely wrong.

Letting go now doesn't mean forever.

Yuanzhi,

one day,

you'll understand why I did this
and thank me for it.

My father dedicated
his entire life to research.

To him, the genetics research was

more vital than his own existence.

If he were here today,

he'd want MomaBiotechnology
in the hands of

someone who truly understands the science.

That's why

I vote for Mr. Mo.

The vote is over.

But let's not forget,

I still hold my own share.

Unless my calculations are wrong,
both the votes and the shareholding

confirm that I will remain
in control of Moma.

I have an announcement to make:

This morning, I finalized the appointment

of the Chief Scientist's assistant
in the R&D department.

- Who?
- Who?

An Lan.

Who's An Lan?

See what he did?

Mo Yuanzhi only cares about

squeezing his own people
into every position.

These research geniuses,

god knows what they're even working on.

An Lan, just joined,
and was already handed a golden ticket?

MomaBiotechnology has only been around
for a few years.

Let's not forget,

we are a biotech R&D company at our core.

Without the relentless dedication
of our research team,

where would our future lie?

Let me state this unequivocally:

At Moma,

our most valuable assets are always
the people who hold the core technologies.

So this is how the glass shattered.

Pursuant to corporate bylaws,

I hereby formally appoint

An Lan

as the Chief Scientist's assistant
of the R&D Department,

responsible for all daily operations

until a permanent appointment
is finalized.

Mr. Mo,

may I say a few words?

I am deeply honored by the trust the Group

and Mr. Mo have placed in me.

I fully recognize
the gravity of this role,

especially in these extraordinary times.

Accepting this role

is stepping up in a crisis,

and if I dare take it, I dare own it.

I can promise you this:

Mr. Tang and Mr. Mo never backed down,

and neither will I, An Lan.

I sincerely hope

for your full support

to help Moma's R&D efforts

return to normal as soon as possible.

I believe

this is what we all want to see.

If there are no further comments,

we can conclude this agenda.

An Lan,

please handle the prepping
at R&D department.

I'll have the HR get the paperwork ready.

Sure.

If there's nothing else,

let's wrap it up.

Meeting over!

Mr. Mo, stuck in traffic, might be late.

We can't be late.

Reroute immediately.

Got it, Mr. Mo.

At around 11 a.m. today,

a suicide attempt occurred
at the top of Yuehai Tower,

the tallest building
on Paris Central Street.

The individual stood off with police
for several hours,

causing a major traffic jam in the area.

Police have safely pulled him
back from the edge.

Welcome, Dr. Mo.

NO CLIMBING, NO LEANING

DANGER, MIND YOUR SAFETY

Hello, everyone.

- Let's head inside to chat.
- Dr. Mo.

Let's head inside to chat!

Bye! See you in a bit!

It was your guarantee of a perfect meeting

that I agreed to this gamble! What now?

With our combined efforts,

this should have been foolproof.

I'm concerned Yuanzhi may already

be suspicious of me.

So what?

If Mo Yuanzhi refuses to let go of Moma,

Squid will have no choice but to act.

What's your connection to Moma?

I worked…

in their tech department,

but I left three months ago.

You're still interrogating me?

I resigned months ago.

So…

what's your take on them?

Take?

Those researchers
hold all the cards at Moma.

Did you really think we'd get a say?

That's exactly

why we need to find out

what the hell they're really working on.

I just went there to get my money.

And you dragged me here.

They owe me!
What's wrong with wanting what's mine?

INCOMING CALL

Officer, I need to take this call.

- My client.
- Sit down!

- The client is pushing--
- Sit down!

Do you really want your husband

to risk his life, just like my dad

and Mr. Tang did?

I'm just a delivery guy.

I make a few bucks per order,

but if I'm even a few minutes late,

I get fined 100 yuan!

A few minutes won't affect you much,

but some people will file complaints

A hundred yuan

might mean nothing to you,

but for my family,

it's a whole day's worth of meals,

officer.

So

when they withheld your pay,

you fixated on hating Moma,

until you decided to
kill their CEO Mo Yuanzhi. Is that it?

Why would I kill anyone?

Officer.

I would never do that!

All I need is money.

My visit to Moma

was solely to

request the severance compensation

I legally deserve.

It's simple.

Just pay me.

If he dies, who's left to compensate me?

No, I didn't.

You can't pin this on me, officer!

Your service order
has exceeded the time limit.

CUTTING-EDGE GENE TECHNOLOGY,
DRIVING THE MEDICAL REVOLUTION -

RAN BIOTECHNOLOGY ACADEMIC EXCHANGE

I'll say it again.

If anything goes wrong,

keep others out of it.

I know why you agreed to this.

If you protect me too well,

Squid will never show.

Which means you'll stay
glued to me forever.

You and your team are running on fumes.

And to be honest…

I'm exhausted too.

He's repeating the exact script
from the last loop.

Good morning, professors.

Good morning, students.

I'm Mo Yuanzhi. Your student. Your alum.

MO YUANZHI, DISTINGUISHED ALUMNUS,
PIONEER OF RAN GENE TECHNOLOGY,

FOUNDER & CEO OF MOMA

Hello, Qi.

That delivery guy didn't do shit!

Why did you arrest him?

You owe me an explanation.

Who's actually the boss here?

You've probably seen the headlines lately.

Yes,

Moma has made some breakthroughs.

And yes, we've made some enemies too.

Honestly, just being able
to stand here in one piece.

- And talk to you today.
- Wang Haoxin, come up.

Feels like a miracle.

Because just a few days ago,

- I received a death threat.
- Keep your eyes on Mo Yuanzhi.

Got it.

It wasn't a prank.

It was a very formal death…

YOU YUXIANG EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH LAB

Professor You.

Yeah, it's me.

Who are you?

DING QI, DEPUTY CHIEF,
SECOND INSPECTORATE OF HUA'AO POLICE

May I come in for a look around?

Sure.

2024 CALENDAR, ACADEMIC SCHEDULE

You seem to be interested in my clock.

Why are there so many clocks in this room?

I just want to always remind myself

how important time is.

Have you heard of Lyubishchev?

The renowned Soviet entomologist,

Lyubishchev,

The Strange Life.

I've read his book.

Like him, I am a biologist.

Yet my control over time pales

in comparison to his.

So how exactly do you plan

to manage your time?

Lyubishchev could meticulously log

the exact time
spent on every single action.

That's how he treasured each minute,

doubling the value of his time.

But I can't.

Isn't that a shame?

What's the advantage of doubling time?

Doubled time means
countless meaningful possibilities!

Such as?

Such as…

I've got to go.

What do you think you're doing?

Professor You.

A life for a life.

Is it worth it?

What are you saying?

And out of nowhere,
a giant squid popped up on my screen.

It looked terrifying.

It stared at me, saying,

"I'm going to kill you."

And I said, "Why?"

He went, "Um…"

Then my antivirus kicked in
and wiped it out.

Why kill Mo Yuanzhi?

Have we met somewhere before?

Take him away.

I've changed too much

in this loop.

But I must control Fu Jun and You Yuxiang

to lure out the real mastermind.

Who reported me?

No one reported me, right?

Why so quiet?

What the hell is this?

Well,

I know

there are people out there
who hate what we do.

- What's the situation outside?
- They hate our genetic research.

- The protesters with banners.
- They say we're going against…

- They have now dispersed.
- …the rules of nature.

"We violated the laws of nature."

Could someone explain to me
what the laws of nature are?

The sun sets, the sky turns dark.

So naturally,
we should go to sleep, right?

Then why did we invent electric lights

and TVs? Why do we stay up late?

How unnatural is that?

The sun rises, the sky brightens.

So we should naturally wake up, right?

Right? Am I putting my audience to sleep?

Look at you!

I was up late last night.

Hold up!

You were up late last night?

Are you crazy?

Don't you value your health?

And now you're dragging me
into your messed-up schedule?

Is that it?

- Chief.
- Qi.

That delivery guy's

alibi holds up.
No motive to kill Mo Yuanzhi.

I've scrubbed through
all his chat logs, clean as a whistle.

What about that professor, You Yuxiang?

Merely possessing a poisoned syringe

doesn't necessarily make him the murderer.

Can you buy me another half hour?

Just to be safe.

Again?

I repeat,

give me a solid reason.

Are all young people this rude now?

Do I truly owe him a life?

A life for a life.

Is it worth it?

Yes.

You have no evidence.

You should let me go now.

Why?

Because in this era of advanced science,

why should life and death
still be decided by nature?

That makes no sense.

Humanity has evolved

for generations

because we never stopped

rewriting the rules.

Okay now, some of you may think

rewriting the rules
sounds a little rebellious.

And that's fine. Let me and my team

- be the ones to take that risk.
- Wang Haoxin, come up.

We'll take the heat for it.

All I ask is that when the day comes,
when we finally succeed,

everyone

- gets to experience the true benefits…
- Keep an eye on Mo Yuanzhi.

- …of modern medicine.
- When it's over, escort him back.

- Got it!
- And…

if that makes me a rebel,

then call me Mo Yuanzhi,
guilty of rewriting the rules.

Deal with it.

Bravo!

Bravo!

Fang Lu, what was
Tang Xin doing this morning?

She spent most of her time
in the lab zone.

I couldn't access it.

Now she's having coffee with a colleague.

What are they talking about?

Just girl talk.

It sounds like they're chatting about

what to wear tonight
at the Zhao's wedding.

Who's she with?

An Lan. I think she's some
Chief Scientist's assistant.

What? She's going to the wedding too?

Please.

Word is, most of Moma's
senior team will be there.

Don't let An Lan out of your sight.

Watch her?

She just took over Tang Shaorong's role,

which likely makes her
Squid's next target.

Watch her carefully.

Copy that.

Who is Squid really?

And why all these changes?
