Episode 22

Do you know

what opening the singularity will mean?

Do you think

you've really thought this through?

I haven't,

I just want to save Xiao Ma,

I've not thought beyond that.

This is Li Jianwei's legacy

and should be dealt with by his son.

Wait a second,

I'm going to fetch you something.

Before your father died

he suddenly sent me this.

I don't understand what it means.

I thought maybe you will know.

It's empty.

Yes.

Uncle Jin,

why would my dad send you an empty letter?

When I got it and opened it,

I also thought this was odd.

But I know

your dad is a serious man

and doesn't play pranks.

So I think...

it must be very important.

Yeah.

My dad would never

send such a joke to you.

April 17th...

I remember what happened that day.

My dad left the lakehouse that day,

and he seemed to come back very late.

He also didn't tell me where he had been.

But he seemed to be very irritable that day.

Dad,

why didn't you tell me when you came back?

I also asked you to bring me two sets of clothing back.

I promised Jiang Li and Xiao Ma

I'd get them some new clothes, a new look.

I told you

if they really want to be like humans

they need to have vanity.

In this world

not only humility can make people progress

vanity can too.

Don't bother me with these trivial matters.

Is this a trivial matter?

I'm giving you advice to optimise your work.

I don't want to listen to your armchair opinion!

If I had known it would be like this now

back then I wouldn't have fought with him.

Now

I don't even have the chance to apologise and say sorry.

Don't be sad kid,

with such an outstanding son like you,

your dad must have been very proud.

Compared to your dad when he was young,

you are really very similar.

I really envy Lao Li.

Thank you uncle Jin.

Qingwen Museum.

Has your father ever been to the Qingwen Museum?

Why would he go there?

I don't know either.

Since he's been there

there must be a clue there.

Like you said my dad was a serious person,

he doesn't like going to tourist spots.

Uncle Jin,

I'm going to go take a look.

Are you okay now?

Don't you worry, I'll call the police.

You stay safe.

It's up to you

to inherit your father's life's work.

Qiao You?

Jiang Li, I think Xiao Ma is dying.

Jiang Li,

is it about Xiao Ma?

His core program is gradually disappearing.

At this rate

his consciousness will be gone very soon,

and he'll never wake up.

Roughly how long do we have?

About twenty five hours.

Could be faster.

I understand, I have a clue now.

Ye Kun is already here,

I'll talk to you later.

Try not to worry, all we can do now is wait.

Jiang Li,

did my dad just arrive?

Yes.

This morning I discovered your mum

taking antidepressants.

I called Mr Qiao,

hoping they can unravel their issues.

But I don't know if this was the right thing to do,

because I remember

humans don't like others interfering with their feelings.

Thank you Jiang Li.

We humans do often hate those who make

decisions for us thinking they know what is best.

But in this case

I would have done the same thing as you.

Even if they hate me, it doesn't matter.

I think this way too.

Speak clearly,

and even if you decide to leave you won't regret it.

As a human

you need to try your best for your feelings

at least once.

Blood pressure is normal,

you can rest.

Qiang Wei,

go and clean up the garden.

Lao Li,

I really envy you for having a son.

Zhi Yan.

Do you know much I miss you.

I'm really afraid,

in the future,

I will be truly alone.

A'Zheng.

Lao... Lao Jin.

This... this... this is for you.

A'Zheng.

What happened to you,

what happened to you A'Zheng?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry A'Zheng.

I'm sorry A'Zheng!

Sorry, I'm sorry.

I'll never let you go again.

I'll never let you go again.

Never leave me again.

Never leave me okay?

Where were you,

why haven't I heard from you?

It's okay, something came up,

but I've taken care of it.

When you called you said the singularity can save Xiao Ma?

Yes, it's the only way.

Than what's the plan, found some clues?

In this.

It's empty.

Yes.

The clue is in the stamp.

Qingwen Museum.

Yeah.

Before dad died he came to this museum,

and bought this stamp.

He sent this letter to uncle Jin.

I think the clue is actually the stamp.

I think dad is telling us to come to this museum.

What was dad doing here?

I don't know either.

But currently

there's a special exhibition about Dunhuang.

But we can't get in without an invitaton.

How about this,

let's first look where you can buy stamps.

Maybe there will be some new clues.

Okay.

Hello,

have you seen this man on April 17th,

he bought a stamp and posted something.

Apologies,

I am this month's new Core Robot,

I cannot find any information

on this person in my memory data.

Then where did the robot from April go,

do you know?

Apologies, I do not know.

Li Yao,

robots like them

come into contact with many visitors daily

so to preserve storage their memories are erased.

She might actually be the robot from April

but now it's not really her

because her memories are gone.

If we don't hurry up

Xiao Ma won't even become an

ordinary Core Robot,

he'll just be scrap metal.

Don't panic yet, we'll think of a plan.

Hi,

can we take a look at the stamps?

Yes.

From uncle Jin's house to here

a Tongcheng Postal Service stamp is

just 80 pence for surface mail.

So why did dad buy one for 8 pounds?

Maybe he was anxious and couldn't find the small stamps,

so got an expensive one.

Not possible,

look at the address on the letter.

When dad wrote it his handwriting is very stable,

which shows he was pretty calm at the time.

There's no way he'd make this mistake.

Let's go in and take a look.

Thank you.

We have no invitation, how do we get in?

Their invitations here allow you to bring

another companion to enter together.

We just both need to find ourselves

someone willing to take us in.

I think I've found a target.

And me?

There's another one there.

You go over

and show her your youth and vitality,

and compliment her.

I believe in you, you can handle it.

Don't understand?

I'll give you a demonstration.

Hello. Hello.

May I ask if you're alone?

Yes.

It's like this, I forgot my invitation letter.

I don't know if you are willing...

I could enter with you and

explain things relating to Chinese culture.

But don't worry, I'm much better than a Core Robot,

much better at explaining.

You're very funny.

Okay then. Okay?

Thank you.

Okay.

Hi!

Hello. Hello.

Is an intellectual beauty like you

also so interested in Dunhuang culture?

Of course, Dunhuang culture is a variety of cultures

intersecting and integrating.

Chinese, Indian and Greek Islamic Culture

all meet here.

So all of this can be seen here today?

Yes,

in today's exhibit, although they are just models

each one is based on the real thing

and exactly replicated.

So special.

I really want to go in and see.

What do you mean?

Do you mean you don't have an invitation either?

Yeah, otherwise why would I sit here?

I just wanted to see if I could sneak in.

I really want to see...

Dunhuang culture can be considered

an important part of human culture.

It demonstrates humankind's understanding

of different cultures and arts,

all extremely exclusive.

What you see now is

is a one-to-one replica of the Mogao cave in Dunhuang,

cave 285.

It's the only cave in the early

Mogao caves with a definite date.

The two lines in the center of Dongpi

also depict Fuxi Nuwa.

What is Fuxi Nuwa?

They are the gods who created mankind in China.

Wow, interesting.

Isn’t the person who created the Core Robot also a god?

No.

The Core Robot creator isn't a god,

he's a famous Chinese scientist called Li Jianwei.

Li Jianwei?

Yeah.

Wow, I've heard of him.

He's very famous.

Sweetie, I have to go the bathroom.

You stay here and look. Okay.

Okay.

You're finally in.

It’s not your fault,

I managed to get in through the staff entrance.

It's my fault.

My judgement was off,

I didn't realise she didn't have an invitation.

I can only say that your vision of women

is very misguided.

Okay,

let’s start searching together.

I downloaded the exhibition info from the past year.

On the day dad came,

this area was also the site of the Dunhuang exhibition.

So what was he doing here?

Although dad likes ancient culture a lot,

he is not so obsessed with it.

There's no way he would come to see this exhibit,

it'd be too much trouble.

So what if dad

didn't come here to see cultural relics?

Didn't come here for that?

Then what was he doing?

I heard there's a nice bar upstairs,

let's go have a drink.

I don't want to, I'm dead tired.

Downstairs there's a spa, I want to go.

I've got it,

this building is quite comprehensive

with many shops in upper and lower floors.

Dad may not have intended to come to this exhibition hall.

Ye Kun, check upper and lower floors,

see if there are any other stores or offices.

Okay.

Checked.

Downstairs from this museum,

is a leisure area with mainly restaurants.

And above the museum,

is a very interesting place called Yingku Number One.

Yingku Number One.

I've got it,

Yingku Number One

is a private custodian institution.

Currently the highest security private safe.

I've heard its safety

exceeds that of of a bank vault.

I've got it,

Dad came here...

Dad came to store something.

He must have had something important

with him when he went out that day,

and wanted to put it somewhere safe.

But something must have happened

that made him change his mind.

Maybe someone was following him,

or some other reason.

So, he came here.

He came in...

certainly needing a hiding place here for something.

He was afraid of being discovered by others,

but he had to take action fast.

He came in through the door,

and had to avoid being tracked

but on the other hand

also had to find a good hiding place.

This place can't be too odd,

and has to be within reach.

So,

it won't be one of these precious exhibits.

He came in... he would have to put it

in a fixed place for him to pick up later.

Maybe it's a wall lamp,

or maybe a fire extinguisher.

This thing definitely won't be over the top.

According to the reaction speed of a normal human

plus our dad's IQ and age

it should take him about five minutes

to find a good hiding place.

From coming in here through the door...

five minutes...

and avoiding exhibits...

Isn't this a fire evacuation map?

Of course it can't be this picture.

When I came in

I already read it in the exhibition brochure.

What was hung here last month

was a picture on horse-drawn carriages

from the Warring States period.

This picture happens to be the eighth

picture from behind the door.

Dad must have put something in this picture.

Warring States carriage.

The Warring States carriage is 360 centimetres long,

and 360 centimetres wide, 180 centimetres high.

Vehicles unearthed from a cemetery

have a unique shape and appearance.

Its decorative patterns...

Dad is very good at choosing places.

This exhibit seems the most

eye-catching in the whole place,

so all surveillance and security

focus their attention here.

There was no such display here before,

but last month they brought a replica of it in

and used it as a display.

So they moved the picture here as an introduction.

Li Yao,

can you think of a way

we can hack into their suvelliance system

and interfere with their cameras

and then get rid of the security personnel.

This way I can get to the painting.

Hacking their survelliance system

and getting rid of security are both easy.

But,

do you think you do this

in plain site of the public?

You have a point.

How about this, I'll think of a way to shut off the power.

It should take 20 seconds to reboot,

so you've only got 20 seconds.

Okay.

Ye Kun,

I've just noticed their lights are very hot,

so I've started the program

and used my phone to increase the power

and make them overheat and ignite.

Are you sure this will work,

did dad teach you?

I thought of it myself,

but let's hope the heavens bless us.

I don't know if the heavens will bless Core Robots.

Try it, it might just work.

Okay, I'll try.

What are you doing?

Do me a favour. Stop!

Ye Kun?

Ye Kun!

You said 20 seconds, so unreliable!

Did you get it? Got it.

Quick, let's go.

Mum, mum!

Li Yao, be good.

I'm taking you to a much better place.

Stop the car!

What's wrong?

Li Yao, let's go quickly.

How is it, any progress?

Not bad, I've already marked

all the important places.

Take a look if you have a moment.

This Chen Hao is pretty tricky.

After watching for a few hours,

you must be tired.

I'm okay.

To be honest this is the only time

I think a Core Robot would be really useful.

At least they can work non-stop,

they don't feel hungry, they don't feel tired.

Even you're saying so.

Looks like

Core Robots really can be a good helper for mankind.

Nonsense.

Go take a bath and relax a bit,

I will summarise these

and send an email to the department.

Okay.

Take a seat.

Did you make all this?

Yeah.

I took a look in your fridge and lots of stuff had expired,

so I could only do something like this.

Consider it a reward for working overtime tonight.

Here, we don't have alcohol either,

so water will do instead.

Cheers.

Hand on.

Who says we don't have alcohol?

Wait a second.

You really have some.

Cheers. Cheers.

Have a taste.

I'm telling you, I cook excellent instant noodles.

Here.

Xiao Lan,

I really want to thank you.

Not just because

you took me in,

it's because you always support me,

care about me.

I'm really very grateful.

You also know...

you also know that I am a failure.

Whether it’s work or family,

everything is terrible.

Only you have been standing by my side

for so long.

There... there are some things I don’t say,

I just keep them in my heart.

But what if one day

you suddenly discover

I'm not as good as you thought.

Not possible,

who said you're not good, I'll mess him up!

It's really possible that I'm not as good as you think.

Let me tell you this, Xiao Lan,

I am

a careless person,

this you know

I don't hold back my words,

and just, just... I speak freely.

I offend everyone without even knowing.

Of course

those who don't matter,

they will be offended anyway,

it doesn't matter to me.

But what I want to say is

that the two of us

are not only good partners at work.

From now on

we...

we are also good partners in life.

If.. if.. if...

I'm saying if...

if I don't do something well and make you angry

you can scold me, and hit me any time.

It will be fine.

Then what if one day

I make you angry?

Don't worry,

I could never be angry with you.

Although I know those are drunk words,

they make me very happy.

You don’t know yourself at all,

there are just some things I really...

Seems like I drank too much.

I think I really did drink too much.

Xiao Yi!

Xiao Yi!

Let me explain.

Xiao Yi, let me explain.

I really didn't expect

that you are actually one of them too.

No... Don't touch me!

I ask you

If I hadn't discovered this today,

how long were you going to keep this secret?

I... how long were you going to lie to me?

How long did you plan to keep up this act?

Forget what just happened,

just pretend it never happened.

Xiao Yi!

Good morning Mr Qiao.

Good morning to you too.

How come you're up this early

making some good food?

Yeah,

I want to make soup for Luo Yun,

so she can drink it when she gets up.

Why not have it early?

I'll help add the water. Okay.

This water is no good.

The most important thing for soup is water.

Good water, good soup.

I have two secrets for making soup.

The first is

fry the ribs in oil in advance.

The second is this water.

Safe and purified water,

soft water quality.

These two methods make delicious soup,

thick, white and sweet.

Very professional.

Luo Yun and I were in England back then.

Thanks to this bowl of pork rib soup,

I won the heart of a beautiful woman.

If only it could be like that time forever.

Simple, how wonderful it would be.

Needless to say,

a bowl of soup

can express love.

Mr Qiao,

I think you can rest assured,

you two have lived together for so many years,

and faced so many setbacks and difficulties together.

Just like you said,

it takes good water to make good soup.

Then you are the good water of this family.

Trustworthy and reassuring.

So I think the relationship between you two

will become like this water,

more and more trustworthy and reassuring.

Thanks Ye Kun, I hope it gets better and better.

It definitely will.

Thank you.

I'll help you. Okay.

Can you help wash these. Okay.

Here, Fei Fei, have some eggs.

Make room quickly!

Eat another tomato.

What's this?

Have a taste.

Do you remember this taste?

Of course I do.

In England I suffered from the climate and was sick,

you made me this soup.

But

I never did tell you

there were a few times I wasn't actually sick,

I just wanted this soup.

Greedy.

Daddy,

you made mum some delicious food,

I want some too.

This is just for your mum.

Dad that's unfair,

you don't love me when you come back from a work trip.

How can I not love you Fei Fei?

How about this, if you eat well,

I will play games with you later, okay?

Awesome!

Eat up.

Li Yao, how are you feeling?

Much better, thank you.

Have a sit, eat some breakfast.

Your brother brought you home last night

fainted due to low blood sugar, you gave me a scare.

It was so late so I asked him to stay.

I'm glad to see you looking better.

I'll go home later to take care of some things

and then come to pick you up.

Thank you for everything last night.

No problem.

I have a video meeting now,

you enjoy the food.

Dad I've finished too,

let's go and play games in the other room.

Okay.

Come on, I'll take you, let me carry you.

Today dad will take care of it.

Eat up.

Eat.

What happened last night?

Last night

when we were escaping from the museum you fainted.

I checked and it seemed you were just over-tired,

nothing serious so I brought you here.

Oh yeah,

I've taken a look at what's inside this,

it's a memory card

but it uses an iris encryption system.

We can't open it, you try.

We only have twelve hours, hurry.

Seems like dad had this all ready to show you.

Look.

This is a three-dimensional holographic projection.

This is my internal code.

And mine.

And mine.

I've got it.

This isn't the key to life program

but the way to extract the life key program.

Through this image dad wants to tell us,

he devided the key to life into six sections

seperately

placed in each of our bodies.

In other words,

as long as the six of us are connected together

we can extract the key to life

and open the singularity.

I'll go give Si Jia a call,

get her to come back.

Six.

You, Jiang Li, Xiao Ma,

Si Jia and Ye Kun.

Who is the other?

The other is Bi Jun.

That's our mother.

Mum!

Li Yao, be good.

I'll get you out of here.

Stop the car, stop the car!

I'll take you to a much better place.

Mum, mum!

Somewhere where it's just us.

Mum, mum!

Bi Jun.

Bi Jun?

Bi Jun

I'll take you to see Li Yao,

he really misses you.

I don't know how to comfort him.

This is the only way.

I'll take you to him.

Li Yao.

Li Yao?

I want you to meet someone.

You'll definitely like them.

Dad,

are you sure about this?

I'm sure.

Li Yao hasn't spoken for three months,

I want him to be the same as before.

Bi Jun.

Li Yao.

Look.

Li Yao.

Li Yao!

Mum is back.

That's not mum, that's not mum!

I don't want her, I don't want her!

Go away, go away!

Okay okay okay. I don't want her!

I'll... I'll have her go.

Go, go out and wait a bit.

Go away, go away!

Go!

I heard Wan Ling is already co-operating with the police.

Yes.

Fortunately, we have internal support over there,

The modified Core Robots

have been secretly taken back by us.

They can't find any evidence.

It should be destroyed.

Yes.

Mr Wen,

you can find a needle in the ocean,

but we've never found the whereabouts of the robot

that jumped into the river that day.

There's no rush.

No news is good news,

he hasn't died.

After all, there's someone more afraid of his death than us.

So what's next?

Next...

Next...

Our secret weapon comes into play.
