Episode 25

Xiao Ma.

Xiao Ma.

Xiao Ma!

Li Yao?

It's really good to see you again.

Same, now we need to save the others quickly.

Are we really going to leave Xiao Lan like this?

She's in sleep mode now.

Maybe she will be willing to wake up

only when her Prince Charming comes.

We need to go.

Xiao Ma,

You go save Si Jia, she should be in the destruction area,

I'll go find Jiang Li and Ye Kun.

yThe destruction area is over there,

I'll go now, you be careful.

Does she still need to be destroyed?

She was originally a defective product.

Yeah,

she is really beautifully made, it's a pity.

Beautiful, what use is beautiful?

It's still a broken machine.

Don't talk, let's work.

Mr Wen, we can go.

Let's go.

Are you sure you want to take Jiang Li with you?

Certainly.

Everyone must pay their dues, especially her.

Sir, you can't come in here.

Xiao Lan!

Xiao Lan!

Xiao Lan!

Xiao Lan.

Xiao Lan.

Xiao Lan.

Thank you.

Oh that,

no problem,

just doing what I should,

we're colleagues.

It's too unsafe here, I'll call for backup.

No.

Don't.

Why not?

Please,

don't report this to the police.

We can't let humans know we exist.

I'm here Si Jia.

Let's go quick,

I want to kill Wen Hao Kang with my bare hands.

You should have died ten years ago,

disappear from this world!

It was your father who used the most vicious

and despicable method to save your life.

Who are you?

How do you know so much?

Go ask your dad.

You're a Core Robot too.

Yes.

Along with the five Core Robots in your family

I am one too.

This can't be.

My dad

invented five conscious Core Robots,

only five.

How can there be six?

You stay here, I'm going after him.

Don't go, what about Ye Kun?

We need to find Ye Kun first.

Miss Wan.

The contract has been sent to Wen Hao Kang

and he's been given the factory access codes.

He also sent Ye Kun over as promised.

Okay, got it, you can go.

My dear,

do you want some food?

I'll make some for you.

You just need to wake up.

I'll make you good food every day.

My dear,

I really do love you.

Since the first time I saw you

I knew I couldn't live without you.

I know I don't usually say what you want to hear

and don't know what you want,

but I just want to be with you every day.

Wake with you every morning,

go to sleep with you at night.

In cold weather,

warm your hands in mine.

You fall asleep on the sofa

and I'll take you to the bedroom.

My dear?

Please wake up.

I can't live without you.

My dear.

Please hurry and wake up.

I can't live without you.

I can't live without you.

My dear.

Please wake up.

Husband.

My dear!

You're awake, my love!

Oh thank goodness you scared me death

you're awake.

I'm not dead yet, you're crying so hard.

I don't care,

nurse, nurse, doctor!

My wife woke up!

Thank goodness, thank godness,

I was scared to death.

I will never make you angry again,

I will never make you angry again.

Are you hungry, do you want to eat?

I'll make you some.

Thank goodness.

Wan Ling,

you did this,

I think....

It's so good that you're back.

How's your mum?

She woke up.

My dad and Qiao Yuan are with her at hospital.

I'm sorry,

it's my fault she ended up like this.

It's not your fault.

It's all Wen Hao Kang, he's insane.

Xiao Ma,

where are Jiang Li and Ye Kun,

how come I've not seen them?

Jiang Li was captured by Hao Kang,

we don't know where Ye Kun is either.

But we heard he was sent to Wansheng Space and Time.

I asked Si Jia to find a safe place to stay.

There are too many residents here,

she'd not be safe here.

Where did she go?

Qiang Wei.

Go open the door.

This late, you should not receive visitors,

you should take a bath.

I'm getting older, I don't sweat,

I don't need a bath every day.

If you won't go, I will.

I will open the door first and then have a bath,

okay?

Coming.

You are...?

Professor Jin?

Yes.

I'm Qu Si Jia.

My brother told me to come find you.

Li Yao told me,

quickly come in.

Why are you not sharing?

I'm not a Core Robot.

I cannot detect signs of life,

if you are not a Core Robot,

what are you?

I'm an air conditioner.

Apologies,

I do not understand what you mean.

So Hao Kang took Jiang Li and the key to life.

Yes.

But we don't know where he went.

I never expected Wen Hao Kang is a Core Robot too.

If he's a Core Robot,

who made him?

If it was our father,

why would he not tell us?

Hao Kang, why has he captured Jiang Li?

I don't know either.

I just know,

we must find Hao Kang as soon as possible.

He's taken the key to life, this is very dangerous.

Although I don't know what his plan is

but he could upload the key to life any time

and open the singularity.

Once the singularity is opened

it will cause a catastrophe.

What's the matter Li Yao?

Are you okay?

I'm okay,

but I feel like I've seen Hao Kang somewhere before.

The picture isn't very clear.

It should be in

the memories I lost,

the memories I lost when I was ten.

This is no good,

I have to find that memory.

If what you say is true

the singularity is about to be opened.

Then I have to report this.

This is way too serious.

If this happens

I and other conscious Core Robots

will soon be discovered and treated as monsters,

captured,

studied.

There'll be no escape from now on.

But humans, we have to be prepared!

We have the right to know what we are facing.

What we are facing

the same as just now,

could be a group

of monsters that could kill at any time!

Machines that could kill at any time.

Sorry Xiao Lan.

I can't pretend I don't know about this.

If I do this,

it will put you in danger.

You can leave,

go somewhere you think is safe,

I can pretend I never saw you.

Okay.

Thank you for saying you've not seen me.

I'll go then.

So,

are you sure you have what we want?

I do.

Then when shall we trade?

Like I said,

the banquet is where flowers are blooming.

Can I confirm with you that our plans remain as usual?

They do.

It's Yang Xiao Lan.

She said that when she left Chengshi Electronics

she searched the host computer

and intercepted the last message sent by Hao Kang.

But the send address is unknown, it's blocked.

What message?

The treasure has been obtained.

The banquet

is where the flowers bloom.

The banquet is where the flowers bloom.

Then where is that?

Thank you for saving me.

You...

don't have anything to say to me?

The board of directors called again and asked you to go.

Got it, I'll go immediately.

Give me a hand getting him to his room.

One, two. One.

He...

could we have broken him?

It's better if he breaks, I can send him straight to scrap.

He's so heavy,

why don't I find someone to help?

No need.

Wan Ling what are you up to?

On off, on off, do you think I'm a mobile phone?

Go, the guest room is waiting.

Okay, let's go.

By the way,

stay and help me with some things.

What's the matter brother?

Li Yao, are you okay?

I'm okay.

It's an old problem.

It just seems to be getting worse recently.

Maybe you should stay home and rest.

No need.

I want to get this memory back fast,

find Hao Kang and therefore find Jiang Li too.

Do you think he'll help us?

I don't know yet but we have to try.

I'm going to hospital to see mum so I can't come with you,

you both be careful.

Okay.

Take good care of her.

See you when we're back.

Don't worry.

Let's go.

For me?

Yeah.

Are they pretty?

I remember my wife said something,

she said,

that in this world

there is no-one

who doesn't like to receive flowers from others.

If you like it just smile okay?

You're beautiful,

you should smile more.

Here.

Take it.

You expect a Core Robot to smile at you?

You're a conscious Core Robot.

But I've never thought about pretending to be human.

You're saying

that from the time you left the lake-house

and joined the human world

you were still a Core Robot?

Right.

That must have been pretty difficult.

It was okay.

The first thing I did was make an inflatable mannequin in the park

and worked selling beer.

I also worked as a parking warden in a car park.

My last job was as a masseuse in a spa.

It's a pity that it didn't last long.

Since you have consciousness,

why do you still work so hard?

With your appearance and ability

if you pretend to be a human

it would be very easy, right?

You mean

as a conscious robot

I could live safely in seclusion among people for a long time.

Having to wear black contacts every day

and putting food down my throat.

Why would I want to do this, I'm a Core Robot.

I'm smarter than most humans,

more capable, stronger.

Why should I pretend to be a species weaker than myself?

I have never despised human beings,

but I am despised by them.

How does this make sense?

I just want to be seen equally,

that's not asking much right?

It's not.

But

after all, you're a minority.

People are biased against niche things.

It may take a long time to change this concept.

That's because of human hypocrisy and cowardice.

Look at you,

I can't help but think of my old friend,

if he were still around now

I would really like to ask him how he did it

to create a person like you.

Rebellious, young and energetic,

although a bit willful

but very cute.

My dad never wanted to mould me into anything.

In your eyes you still treat me as an object.

It's like a refrigerator that suddenly has thoughts,

of course it seems amazing.

If I were human

you would just think I am a sensible young person.

No, no,

I think

Core Robots

in their souls

are alive.

Although this nature is not completely externalised,

I feel that

like you, and A'Zheng,

all the other Core Robots

I think

you are all alive.

A'Zheng?

Who's that?

Professor Lao Jin,

your visiting time is over,

long conversations are not good for your health.

And I analysed that

you did not discuss philosophical issues.

You should go and have a rest.

Professor Jin,

I don’t quite agree with your point just now.

Could it be that this stupid Core Robot

is also alive?

This woman is an exception!

You turn on the machine...

Where's Wan Ling?

Miss Wan went to the office.

When she left she asked me to see you out.

You don't have to see each other in future.

Here we go again.

Did something happen to her?

What?

Doesn't she need to hand over the 28 factories?

The old fogies on her board let her hand them over?

I don't know.

Are you lying?

Take me to her office now.

Immediately.

My doll is broken can you help me fix it?

Who said I could fix dolls?

Grandma said so,

grandma said you're the best at fixing dolls.

Here.

Let me see what's wrong with your doll.

It's a broken arm.

There we go.

Thank you grandpa!

What did you call me?

Grandpa, why, is it wrong?

Listen to you,

if you're not called grandpa then what?

Honestly.

I just brewed Fenghuang Dancong tea.

Come over and drink.

Thank you,

you still remember my favourite tea.

You think too much,

your house only has one kind of tea.

Don't worry,

if it was Hao Kang

he wouldn't knock.

It's you.

Yes.

We need you for something.

Greetings Zhi Yan.

What?

Apologies,

you are not Zhi Yan.

I want to find Zhi... Zhi... Zhi Yan.

We are going on an outing.

Who are you?

I am A... A... A... A... A'Zheng.

A D series Core Robot.

Where is Lao Jin?

Where... where... where is Lao Jin?

Where... where... where... where is Lao Jin?

Lao...

Servo axis failure

and the solenoid valve is deformed.

Or maybe the synaptic wire is loose?

It's all three.

Kid,

if you run out to hide and seek like this

you will lose.

Professor Jin.

Si Jia, help me a second.

Don't let Qiang Wei know

she'll take him away.

Twenty eight factories,

a total of twenty eight factories.

Wansheng Space and Time's production lines throughout Asia.

You say you just gave them away,

at least let us know and inform our board of directors.

Right?

Wanshang left early.

You girl,

you have no idea how hard it was for your dad to conquer the country.

If you keep doing this, I'll be the first to quit.

Good.

Who else wants to quit?

I heard that all directors

have the right to jointly sign

to remove me as president.

Something so big has happened,

and you've not said a word to explain.

What can we do?

Firstly,

my father didn't leave the entire Wan Group in my hands,

I had already taken over Wansheng Space and Time.

I was Wangsheng Space and Time's legal representative,

and had the power to do any exchange,

or make cuts.

Secondly

for the huge Wanshi Group

Wansheng Space and Time's market share

only counts for 30%.

And Wansheng Space and Time

acounts for 14% of the money in all of Asia.

Cutting off these 28 factories

will have a negative impact on our total profits.

Just a dime in nine years.

Dear directors

why are you all so angry?

What...

What are...

What are you doing?

I need to prepare some bargaining chips

in advance to negotiate with a bunch of old men.

But this is our Wanshi group's internal information.

Only the highest level of permissions have access.

How can you have it?

Miss,

you probably hadn't even left college when I was

a director at Wanshi Group.

What?

You used to be part of Wanshi Group too?

Is this good fun?

Let's take another photo.

Hao Kang is a Core Robot?

Yes.

And he's taken the key to life.

How could this happen?

How?

We just want to know

Hao Kang

where would he go?

When he left

I saw his car looked like a Chengshi Electronics car.

They should be equipped with tracking.

Is there any way we can locate him?

We can give it a try.

We can try.

No.

No.

He started the ghost program.

He turned off the radar and positioning.

No.

How.

Hao Kang is actually a Core Robot.

Yes.

And I also suspect

that he was created by my father himself.

The conscious Core Robot I was searching for

was right next to me.

When did he first come to you?

Three years ago.

Back then he applied to be my assistant.

He was very capable.

So he quickly became a member of the management team,

and my most effective assistant.

One day he got the news from nowhere and came to tell me

that Li Jianwei had invented the conscious Core Robot.

From that time on

I started tracing

the whereabouts of the conscious Core Robots.

He also told me

information on Jiang Li.

How could he?

It totally...

didn't nothing anything different about him at all.

I've never had him in my memories since I was ten.

But he seems to know everything that happened before.

I think the answer may lie in my memories before I was ten.

By my memories before I was ten

have been deleted by my dad.

I want to restore these memories.

So,

you came to find me,

to help you restore your memories?

Yes.

Why should I help you?

The person in charge of Chengshi Electronics right now

is Hao Kang.

We both know Hao Kang

can do some pretty terrible things.

Chengshi Electronics is your life work,

can you bear

to see it destroyed in Hao Kang's hands?

You just need to help us find Hao Kang,

only then can you take Chengshi Electronics back the right way.

Help,

or don't help.

Even a small percentage is still money,

you might not care Miss Wan but we do.

If this matter cannot be dealt with properly,

the shareholders will suffer losses,

who will compensate them?

Right?

Right!

That's money lost for no reason.

Give us a good explanation!

What are you doing?

Explain yourself!

Give us an explanation right now.

Then what do you want to do?

It's not what I alone want to do,

several of us shareholders have discussed this.

What happened this time

can be compensated with the shares owned in your name.

This isn't only those under Wansheng Space and Time,

but also includes

other businesses under the group,

it includes the shipping industry,

hotels, department stores...

You're malnourished, anemic and sleep deprived.

You should be rushed to hospital

and nursed back to health.

It's not your concern.

Ye Kun,

how did you get in?

Ye Kun.

Didn’t you leave Wanshi Group long ago,

what are you doing here?

I am now Miss Wan’s personal assistant.

She's not in good health right now,

and should be taken to hospital.

This matter is not over yet.

She can't go.

What matter?

None of your business,

haven't you already left the Wanshi Group?

Even if you are her personal assistant

you have no right to interfere

with the internal affairs of our board of directors.

Wan Ling cannot go.

She needs to give us an explanation.

Explanation, okay.

Shouldn't you be the one to explain everything,

Director Zhao?

What do you mean?

You and Director Liu just caught on to the

28 factories in the Asian market and acted aggressively.

But I want to advise you now

give up.

Miss Wan will never agree with you.

What do you mean?

The production of these 28 factories are huge,

and highly profitable.

You must be reluctant to let go of this piece of juicy fat in your meal.

Do you know what you're saying?

What nonsense are you on about?

The relevant evidence is here.

It's best that you it before you keep talking.

If our information is equal,

I think you should know

what the consequences of this are.

What nonsense.

This is slander!

This evidence,

must have been made up by you!

Indeed!

Ye Kun.

We can't just let it go based on your words.

Ye Kun,

tell them

what articles 15 and 8 are in the board charter.

Okay.

Articles 15 and 8 say

if due to personal decision-making reasons

the company suffers a loss of more than one billion,

then

there will be a thirty working day remedy period.

Okay.

Then I will give you an explanation,

within thirty days

I will bring back these 28 factories intact.

If I don't get them back,

I will resign.

Wan Ling.

Okay,

I'll help you.

But you must agree to one condition.

What is it?

What Li Jianwei did to you

is no less than creating a conscious Core Robot.

After I help you find Hao Kang

you must become my research object.

I want to study your brain.

Fine.

I agree.

Great.

Then let’s get started.

But I still need a helper,

whether it's decryption or brain science,

he's an expert.

Professor Jin.

He's the one you said

is the living robot?

Yeah.

But he's obviously an old Core Robot.

You can create a new one.

What are you saying?

He is irreplaceable.

To me he's

like a... like a magical mirror.

He illuminates my present

and preserves my past.

His parts are now worn out

and aren't for sale anywhere anymore.

But I have to fix him.

Let me.

You?
