NOVEMBER, 27, 2024

I'm sorry.

This area is off-limits.

- What happened? - You can go either way.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Any conclusions?

This isn't

as simple as it looks.

Mr. Mo Yuanzhi,

this is your official death notice.

Just like your two friends, I'll make sure you…

I'll make sure you and Moma…

You're criminals.

Murderers.

Pushing this world to ruin.

Evil. Greedy.

You will stand trial.

Mo Yuanzhi,

Soon I'll reunite you with your two friends.

And your precious Moma

will be gone in a blink.

DECEMBER 12, 2024, EARLY MORNING, LOOP DAY FIVE

Gu Song, Haoxin, get to Moma Tower.

If you see Ye Kun, take him down.

You two, over there.

Stay alert.

Go.

Kai, head out now.

Find this guy, Ye Kun.

I've already sent you two possible locations.

Have you seen him?

That's Ye Kun, no?

I've been looking for him too.

He left without saying a word.

What time did he leave?

Probably…

right after midnight.

Rig was just lowered, and boom, he was gone.

- What did he do? - Don't ask.

Sarge,

Ye Kun dipped out just after midnight.

Sarge,

only Mo Yuanzhi is inside Moma Tower. No sign of Ye Kun.

Search.

Sarge,

Ye Kun's not at his apartment.

Not in the studio,

not at home,

not at Moma Tower.

Where could he be?

Are we safe now?

Why's Mo Yuanzhi targeting me?

I'll explain later.

Out of all my fifth loop days,

this one's been the hardest.

All it takes is one bad call

to blow everything.

AN'S MOTHER IS SECURED

Sarge,

Mo Yuanzhi's going home.

DECEMBER 12, 2024, EARLY MORNING, LOOP DAY FIVE

DECEMBER 12, 2024, EARLY MORNING, LOOP DAY FIVE

Morning…

Qi.

Morning.

Still boxing with all that work?

- Isn't it exhausting? - It is.

But we've always found a way to hit reset,

right?

To be honest, having the police follow me around every day…

I actually feel bad.

Sometimes I wonder…

if my life's really worth

all this protection.

To us,

every life is worth protecting.

Including yours.

You already know my schedule for today.

I won't bother sending it again.

You know what's waiting for you.

Can we cut them?

No matter what happens,

I have to…

go through with all of it.

Right now…

I don't have the authority to stop you yet.

Thank you.

Where's my driver?

Probably overslept.

Useless.

Though your people barely slept last night, did they?

Not exactly easy working under a sarge like you.

A little over two weeks ago, you killed Tang Shaorong.

He was once a respected university professor.

Gave up a cushy career

to start from scratch with you.

So why did you kill him?

If you're gonna spin a story,

at least come up with something that holds up.

Don't give me some sloppy ending.

- Fine. - Hm.

You figured out Tang Shaorong's schedule by looping through time.

Set up an accident to take him out.

And just in case, you had a backup plan.

GOVERNOR NOBRE DE CARVALHO ROAD

But,

you left behind two pieces of evidence.

- What evidence? - Fingerprints on the bomb.

Now that does not hold up.

How can fingerprints survive a timed bomb explosion?

Did I say it was a timed bomb?

Watch the road.

Enough, Qi.

If you had anything solid,

we wouldn't be talking here.

I'd be in an interrogation room already.

Why waste time dragging you in

when I know you've only got 28 days left?

Nitrogen tanks have a shelf life.

If we go by the timing, that "28" on Mo Yuanzhi's desk

is probably how many days he's got left to save Wanqing.

To pull this off,

you needed someone else.

At first, I thought he was Squid.

But then I realized

he doesn't even understand the loop.

Of course!

Who doesn't fear death?

- Guys like us don't fear death. - What does that mean?

Today,

where did you send him?

If you were Squid, where would you send him?

If I were Squid, I'd stay in a tank.

Right there in the lab, floating in a tank.

Shine a little purple light for fun.

Are you talking about my lab?

Nothing weird about that.

You know how many actual squids are in Moma's lab?

Or how many more are sitting in bio labs across the country?

Did you know just one segment

of a squid gene contains five different markers for neural development?

You don't know anything.

I know they smell good grilled.

Alright then.

Next time,

I'll take you to Moma's other bio-research facility.

They've got hundreds of them there.

Eat till you drop. I'm buying.

Oh, and by the way,

that lab's under An Lan's control now.

Sorry.

You clearly don't drive much.

But back to detective work, Qi,

you've got a lot to learn.

Let me recommend a writer,

Edward Hoch.

His detective stories are famous

for plot twists on top of twists.

You never see the next move coming.

"In a world full of riddles,

time starts to lose all meaning."

Edward Hoch.

I read too, you know.

Respect.

Didn't expect we were all Hoch fans.

I'm more of an iQIYI guy.

Big fan of Detective Conan.

Want one?

No, thanks.

I know…

you took out Han Song too.

I had this friend.

He was super into running.

Especially morning jogs.

He ran every single day,

rain or shine.

You're a real Conan fan, huh?

You've got me mesmerized.

Keep going.

On the day of the incident,

Ye Kun was at the scene.

Definitely a power leak.

This is Zhang. Listen, this railing… Hey!

My phone!

Hey! You knocked my phone off!

What the hell?

OCTOBER, 25, 2024

So that's how Han died.

The guy in the raincoat,

who knocked the phone on purpose…

that was Ye Kun.

Even if that's true,

even if he's this Ye Kun you're talking about…

You arrest him, then what?

You gonna fine him for breaking someone's phone?

And more importantly…

have you even caught him yet?

SEVEN HOURS EARLIER

Feng Qiming.

What are you staring at?

Take him away.

AN'S MOTHER IS SECURED

AN'S MOTHER IS SECURED

Thanks, Qi.

You saved my mom.

How did you know

we were in danger?

An Lan…

There are some things

only you might believe.

That line…

Feels like I've heard it before.

What I'm about to say sounds crazy.

But it's really happening.

This world, every so often,

gets stuck in a loop.

That same day repeats again and again

until the loop ends.

When it resets,

no one remembers. Not people, not animals.

If no one remembers,

who's left to prove

the loop's real?

Me.

MEMO: IF NO ONE REMEMBERS, WHO'S LEFT TO PROVE THE LOOP'S REAL?

You might think I've got some kind of

future-seeing power like RN356,

but that's not it.

We just remember everything

that's happened in every loop.

You know about RN356?

You told me in one of the earlier loop days.

So

you only know what Mo Yuanzhi

and Feng Qiming were planning because of those memories?

Yeah. But this loop's been the toughest one for me.

It's the first time I realized

I'm not the only one with this ability.

Mo Yuanzhi's got it too.

And he used it

to kill Tang Shaorong and Han Song on a loop day.

Which loop day is this?

The fifth.

And the final one.

Can you tell me

what happened in the others?

Why do you have photos of Han Song, Tang Shaorong,

and Mo Yuanzhi at home?

And…

who gave you this photo?

Feng Qiming,

why did you attack someone at Tianyi Nursing Home?

Why were bomb parts found at your place?

Now answer me.

Who were you talking to on that app

with self-destructing messages?

What are you hiding?

Speak!

I'm asking you. Stop looking around!

Can I punch him?

How do you know for sure

Mo Yuanzhi's trying to hold me back first this time?

Mo Yuanzhi

must've figured out I'm a looper by now.

If he wants to finish his plan,

he has to get rid of the biggest threat, me.

He's using my guilt

to control you and Auntie, just to keep me distracted.

So…

you feel guilty about me?

You're my weak spot.

Feng Qiming really looks different now.

I didn't even recognize him back at Tianyi Nursing Home.

Actually, in the last loop day,

you did recognize him.

That saved me a lot of time.

Once Mo Yuanzhi realizes you're gone,

he won't just sit there quietly.

But I've no idea what kind of chaos he'll start.

And we've got nothing solid to charge him with yet.

As things stand,

Feng Qiming is the only one who can testify against Mo Yuanzhi.

Wanqing used to tell me all the time

how good Feng Qiming was as an older brother.

He would do anything for her. Even give his life.

I never thought

he'd end up helping Mo Yuanzhi.

I'm talking to you. Stop looking around.

Check out this guy.

No matter how you look at him, he screams Squid.

Still won't say a word.

What now?

I've got to keep tabs on Mo Yuanzhi.

Whatever happens,

keep her safe.

No problem.

You watch your back.

Want a drink?

We're not allowed to drink on duty.

You're seriously stone cold.

Seeing Han Yufei and Tang Xin up close every day like that

and not even flinching?

Why'd you kill them?

It can't just be about taking over Moma.

Three bosses.

Two of them dead. That makes you the top suspect.

So you made up this whole Squid story

to throw us off your trail?

Is that it?

All I know is,

I didn't kill anyone.

But someone's trying to kill me.

You did die once.

And before the time loops kicked in,

no one had a clue it was a loop day.

So after you died,

I stopped suspecting you.

But there's still one thing I can't wrap my head around.

Why'd you send Ye Kun

to mess up the Zhao family wedding on the second loop day?

Help!

- Help! - Let go of her!

To smoke them out.

The chaos might flush out whoever's trying to kill me.

Makes sense, doesn't it?

I just didn't expect

to stumble onto your secret like that.

On the second loop day, when you went to check out the cake shop,

I was almost certain someone in your group

had to be loop-aware.

Because only someone with memory of the loop would know

the cake was going to explode.

After that, you kept testing me. Throwing up smokescreens,

trying to throw me off.

You were testing Maggie too.

Don't move!

Yes.

Because I still couldn't tell who it was.

Not until the third day,

when you used the memory

of the crash on Highway One

to help An Lan avoid the accident just in time.

Change route. Now.

How exactly did you hear about the crash?

That's when I knew.

It was you.

What about you?

When did you figure me out?

The night of the third loop day.

Yu Shiya told me you often slip out around midnight.

And the dates

just happened to be loop days.

Mo Yuanzhi,

I know exactly what you've done.

And I know exactly

what you're planning next.

You did kill Jiang Yuwen

at the Ivy Bay University lab.

It just happened to be a loop day.

Why didn't you go through with it in the end

after rehearsing it four times?

Technically speaking,

I wasn't consciously

involved in that loop.

Back then,

I wasn't even loop-aware.

I had no memory of it at all.

So I had no idea

why You Yuxiang kept coming after me.

It wasn't until

I became loop-aware myself

and started piecing things together

that I realized

something wasn't right with You Yuxiang.

It's like fragments of what happened on loop days

are actually stuck in his head.

Of course,

none of that matters now.

Loop days, after all,

aren't part of reality.

What's real

is that on the fifth day,

Jiang Yuwen disappeared after escaping

and wasn't seen for eight years.

Why did you want him dead?

We need to move to clinical trials. Fast.

EIGHT YEARS AGO

Do you have any idea

how quickly the teams in Europe and America are moving?

If they get there first,

everything we've worked on, years of research,

goes straight in the bin.

Good thing we're one step ahead.

We've got an edge.

Professor Jiang…

are you sure about this?

We haven't even met the basic data threshold for animal testing.

Jumping straight to human trials

without approval? That's not just risky,

it's illegal.

And frankly, we could be killing people.

These patients already have one foot in the grave.

Sure, we can't have them sign an informed consent form,

but we'll explain their condition clearly

and tell them exactly where we are in our research.

Let them decide.

And I believe

they'll want to try.

We're scientists.

We take legal risks

for the sake of research.

But to people at death's door,

we might look like angels sent from heaven.

You get it?

So stop hesitating.

Take a look.

She's the perfect test subject.

This specific genetic mutation,

combined with that type of spinal tumor,

makes her an ideal test subject for the RAN treatment.

And her condition is at the right stage for trials.

Professor Jiang,

she's not suitable.

Why not?

Is she refusing? Her family?

Come on. Patients this far along

are usually easy to convince.

You just have to remember you're helping her.

Professor Jiang,

she… she's not suitable.

You know her?

More than just know her?

Oh God.

Kid,

you're in love with her?

You fell for a test subject?

Do you know how rare it is to find a match like her?

You have a doctorate in medicine.

You know Feng Wanqing doesn't have much time left.

What is it? You don't have faith in our treatment?

After all this time working

- with me? - I just know…

I just know the drug isn't ready yet, Professor.

You want a test subject.

But I won't let it be her.

- Put it down! - No!

- Put it down! - I'm not letting you use her!

Listen.

Even if the treatment fails,

I can still

give her more time.

Time that's worth living.

I know I can!

I know I can.

Look…

If you really love her,

give her a chance.

Give her a shot at life.

MAURN VALE MEDICAL CENTER PATHOLOGY REPORT

NAME: FENG WANQING DIAGNOSIS: PRIMARY MALIGNANT SPINAL TUMOR

NAME: FENG WANQING

We both know

how this illness ends.

Trying a drug? Couldn't be worse.

If something happens to you…

I can't take it. Do you understand?

I can't.

Please don't. Okay?

Why did you give Feng Wanqing the drug without asking me?

Why would I need your permission?

She's started eating again.

All her vitals are improving.

Do you realize this could've killed her?

She signed it herself.

She said yes.

SIGNATURE: FENG WANQING

Get out.

We're trying to revive her.

Then keep trying!

Save her!

Do something!

What kind of doctor are you?

What kind of doctor are you

if you can't even save a life?

What kind of doctor are you?

Have you ever seen Jiang Yuwen

in any of those loops?

Jiang Yuwen's dead.

Wasn't that case closed by your department?

If I were you,

I wouldn't waste time digging into a dead man's past.

I'd focus on the living.

- Like who? - An Lan.

She's probably swamped right now.

Aren't you gonna help?

I heard that RAN drug of yours has side effects.

You feel anything?

You first.

- Nothing. - Then same here.

Stubborn, huh?

Mr. Mo, Maggie from Volly said she'll be arriving

in Hua'ao this morning.

Noted.

This is a restricted danger zone.

And it's proprietary.

Your job is to watch my back,

not get in my way.

See you soon.

RESTRICTED AREA

Didn't An Lan already turn Maggie down?

Why's she still coming?

RESTRICTED AREA

C1 R&D CENTER, CHIEF OF SECURITY MO YUANZHI

Investigation Bureau?

There's something

I need to report.
