Episode 27

Take it easy, take it easy.

Qiao You, Qiao Yuan.

I'll take your mum up to rest,

can you handle the suitacase.

Sure.

Okay.

Careful.

Don't burn yourself.

How are you,

tired?

I'm okay.

Drink some water and sleep a bit.

Any news on An Yi?

I heard from Qiao You that Li Yao, Xiao Ma

and the other family members are all safe,

but they don't know where An Yi is.

It's because she protected me that she was taken.

Don't worry, she'll be fine.

I also just learned

that conscious Core Robots actually exist.

All Core Robots are manufactured

to abide by Asimov's Law

and their instinct is to protect humans.

It was just like she saved Qiao Yuan before,

but I really didn't expect she already was conscious,

she still saved me

when she obviously could have escaped instead.

Seems that in An Yi's heart

she feels you are very important,

and she cares for you.

I also don't know how we can help them.

My dear.

I don't know what you think about this,

but I don't want our kids getting involved.

Especially Qiao You,

she's so concerned about all this.

I'm a bit worried.

I am being a bit too selfish?

How could that be?

This is your motherly instinct.

Being a parent is a difficult lesson in life.

Every parent hopes their kids are brave

but is afraid of them getting hurt,

it's not your fault.

If anything needs done just make sure we do it,

okay?

Li Yao?

How's it going?

You have a clue?

Sorry,

when you were turned off

I deleted your network device.

Don't worry,

just leave everything to me.

Why?

If I hadn't

you would have contacted Li Yao by now, right?

It's not easy to have time alone for us two,

I don't want to see that brat.

You don't trust me.

Trust is mutual.

When one day

you behave in a trustworthy manner,

I will naturally trust you.

Let's wait a little and watch more movies.

I have a present to give you.

Qiao You, thank you for lending us your car.

No problem, you're welcome.

Does your family know we're out driving?

I told them.

By the way,

this is the suppressor mum got from her work,

might be useful.

Xiao Ma.

This is bad, Qiao You took the car.

What?

Oh no,

they've taken the

Core Robot supressor my work gave me.

She must be looking for Li Yao.

No, it's too dangerous, I'll go after her.

Dear,

forget it.

You know Qiao You is particuarly stubborn,

even if you find her she won't come back.

Jiang Li.

Can you help me a second?

Coming!

What are you doing?

I just missed dad.

So I came to look around.

Hand it over.

Hand over what?

What you have in your hand.

There is nothing in my hand.

Didn't you want to give me a present?

Where is it?

Sorry Jiang Li.

I shouldn't doubt you.

It's okay,

it's normal.

Your present is in the living room.

Let's go.

For me?

Of course.

Shouldn't a perfect date should include music

and wine

and then your perfect partner in a dress

dancing together?

Thank you for the present.

Then, I'll take it.

This is...

This is the lake house, our home.

It's an all-mirror building built by my dad.

It reflects the surrounding scenery

and has more than a dozen

holographic projectors around it.

So, it blends in with the environment

and no one can see it's here.

Jiang Li and Hao Kang should be in here.

I'm ready.

The fragrance of spring flowers

autumn mountains are blooming,

guests are singing joyfully

of golden cups.

a solitary lamp lights the burning silver vat.

When did you become so poetic?

For our reunion.

May I ask,

would the beautiful lady dance with me?

Where's the pipe?

Dad's favourite pipe.

This isn't the lake house,

it's your base.

Yes.

To be precise

this is just one of them.

It's Jiang Li.

She must be afraid of Hao Kang listening in,

she's posting messages on

the family sharing system that she

used when she was An Yi.

Look.

Where on earth is she?

This looks like it's overseas,

and also looks like the black box program.

What does that mean?

This is a built-in camera program.

When a Core Robot is turned off

it keeps the image function enabled.

It captures surrounding video and audio files.

This is a program written by my dad.

Jiang Li would only start this in an emergency.

If Jiang Li is using this program

it means

she knows she could be shut down at any time.

She's in a very dangerous situation.

This is Laiwa Snow Mountain.

It turns out that Hao Kang

built a house exactly like the lake house.

This is the last room left.

Looks like we'll have to make do with this today.

No problem, I don't need to sleep anyway.

That's true.

Look.

A place where flowers bloom

is the national anthem of this country.

It coincides with the

information Guo Man gave us earlier.

So our basic judgment should be correct.

But

there's a total of six factories here

and the distance between them is quite far.

Where do you think we should start?

Here's what I think...

because factories have production and transport problems

they will prioritise transport convenience.

Four of these six factories are close to inland roads

and two are by the sea.

Road transport should be mainly aimed at

the domestic Core Robot sales market.

Sea transport should be aimed at overseas markets.

So if Wen Hao Kang didn't ask for a domestic factory

then his target must be overseas.

So we can narrow it down

and start with these two factories.

Okay.

I heard what happened between you and Li Yao.

Xiao Ma told me.

Although this is hard to accept,

you're still a family.

Even if there's something troublesome,

you're still his big brother.

So stop making it hard on yourself.

I know you actually don't blame him at all.

Go back and talk to him.

What is it?

Someone's here.

Let me go!

What are you doing!

Let go of me!

Let go!

This little guy was listening in on our conversation.

I was not! You were not?

Then what were you doing at the door?

Looking for food.

You were looking for food in the corridor?

Sometimes

in the bin in the corridor

there are unfinished takeaways.

Little kid,

I'll get you something good to eat, okay?

Don't cry.

Come on.

Go slowly, don't choke.

Don't choke,

here here, drink some water.

Can you eat later, and answer my questions first?

Where are you from and what's your name?

Why do you speak Chinese? Why are you at this hotel?

Can't you ask him later?

Let him finish eating.

Go slowly.

Little kid,

who are you actually here?

My name is Hao Hao, I'm 6 this year.

My mum is Chinese, and I was born in China,

so I speak Chinese.

Last year

because of my mum's work we came here together.

I came to find my mum.

There where has your mum gone?

My mum....

My mum was caught by bad guys.

Don't cry.

Don't cry, don't cry.

Don't look at me like that.

I know what you'll say.

You want to help a lost kid find his parents.

Look how pitiful he is.

How about this,

let's keep him overnight and tomorrow morning

we'll take him to the hotel staff

so they can take him to the police.

How about it?

Fine.

As long as it doesn't delay our progress.

Look at your dirty little face.

I'll take you for a bath, okay?

No.

My mum said I'm a boy

and can't take a bath with a girl.

How about

he takes me for a bath!

Me?

That pretty lady out there, is she your wife?

No.

Then is she your girlfriend?

If she's not your girlfriend

then how come you're sleeping in the same room?

Why do you have so many questions little guy?

If you keep talking so much,

careful I don't throw you out.

You're so fierce,

how did this lady fall in love with you?

Look who's talking!

Lady!

Save me lady!

What's wrong, what's wrong?

He...

He's a Core Robot.

What happened?

Nothing.

I just accidentally hurt my hand.

Don't be scared.

My mum was taken by Core Robots.

Core Robots...

are all bad people!

Jiang Li.

You don’t think

I really brought you here

for unresolved feelings do you?

This business

it's all forgotten.

But what happened ten years ago,

I can never forget that.

It was you.

It was you proposed to Li Jianwei that he take my brain.

It was you

who performed the surgery.

Jiang Li.

You are the devil.

Yeah.

I'm the devil.

The person who took your brain wasn't human,

but one of your kind.

It was me.

Dad,

Li Yao isn't going to make it.

He's brain dead.

Jiang Li.

Li Yao,

his brain is already dead.

We have to save him.

His other functions have not failed.

The only way now...

a new brain.

New brain.

You mean

get him a new electronic brain?

Yes.

Maybe

this is our only hope.

I have to try.

But Li Yao can't wait for us to design a complex brain.

We must work fast.

While there's a glimmer of hope

I won't give up.

Use a ready-made one.

Dad, use mine.

I'm willing to give my brain to Li Yao.

What are you tallking about?

Besides, yours is a female brain,

how can we adjust it for Li Yao?

Then Hao Kang's.

Jiang Li.

Do you know what this would mean?

Hao Kang could die.

Hao Kang and Li Yao are both my children.

One life for another.

I can't do it.

Jiang Li!

Jiang Li!

Look what I've brought!

Jiang Li.

Look.

What's wrong?

Did something happen?

Mum and Li Yao fell into the water.

I went in to save them.

I couldn't save mum.

Li Yao is in a bad state.

You went in water to save Li Yao?

Are you okay?

I'm okay.

Let me see, water is the biggest Core Robot fear.

Hao Kang.

Will you save Li Yao?

What?

Isn't dad saving him?

How can I...

How can... how can I help?

Dad said we need a new electronic brain.

But

we don't have time to make one unless...

What?

Unless...

Unless we use yours.

Mine?

No way.

Listen while I explain.

You can wait longer than he can

and we will make a new brain for you soon.

Now only you can save Li Yao.

Don't worry I promise you there's no danger.

It's just like taking a nap, not dangerous at at all.

There's no danger, really none.

I refuse.

Hao Kang.

According to the data this is the best solution.

You're a Core Robot so you know it very well.

Yes.

I know it very well.

I know very well that you don't have time

to make Li Yao a brain.

But do you have time to make me a brain?

What if it doesn't work?

I'll die.

Why should I die for him?

I refuse.

Hao Kang.

Listen to me.

I'm sorry.

Hao Kang.

Although this mind is simple

it's enough to last you for a long time.

I promise you I'll put in a new brain as soon as we have one.

Don't worry, I'll save your memories

You won't forget me.

Nothing will change, okay?

Jiang Li, why don't you give it to him?

Li Yao is a human,

there was no way he'd survive a second craniotomy.

He only has one chance,

it has to work, it can't fail.

So I'm sorry Hao Kang, I must save Li Yao.

Don't do this, don't do this.

I'm the only other like you,

I'm the one you love most in this world,

aren't I?

I am your real relative,

not Li Jianwei and not Li Yao.

It's me!

Hao Kang.

I'm sorry.

I have to save Li Yao.

Jiang Li I'm begging you, don't !

Don't!

How could you do this to me, Jiang Li?

Is my life inferior to that of a human's?

Dad save me, save me!

Jiang Li!

Jiang Li!

Don't!

Don't Jiang Li, I'm begging you, don't.

I'm scared.

Don't Jiang Li!

Don't give my brain to him,

don't give my brain to him!

Jiang Li, Jiang Li, Jiang Li!

Jiang Li.

Do you regret it?

Core Robots do not regret.

It's like you said,

every decision we make

is the result of precise calculations

not impulse,

no hesitation.

So no regret.

If you give me a chance to start over

I would still save Li Yao.

Because after calculation,

it's still the highest probability of saving him.

This is a decision

I will never regret.

No regret.

You never know

the price you will pay

for your actions.

Don't be scared.

My mum is Wansheng Space

Core Robot factory administrator.

That evening

someone knocked on the door.

Mom went to the door to took a look

then ran back and put me in the cupboard

and told me not to come out if I heard anything.

And then

it sounded like the door was kicked open

and someone broke into the house

and some green-eyed Core Robots

said they would take mum away.

Don't be scared.

It's okay.

And did your mother resist them?

She refused to leave with them.

Then they started beating her,

and they took her away.

Don't be scared.

If they are able to bypass Asimov's Law

they are either killer Core Robots

or conscious Core Robots.

According to the news sent back by Guo Man,

the singularity isn't opened yet.

It must be killer Core Robots.

Little guy,

can you tell me where your mum worked?

Do you know the address?

I remember

there is an open space

and in the open space

there are some pigeons,

but I don't know how to get there.

I've been looking for her for two days

but haven't found her.

I don’t even remember how to get home.

It's okay.

Found it.

Tomorrow we're going to go rescue your mum.

Okay?

Really?

Really.

This guy is really awesome.

Ceng Rou.

How's the situation over there?

It's all ready and will be shipped out tonight.

After the buyer pays he can inspect the goods at the dock.

Once confirmed, they can go to sea.

Any problems?

No issues.

Good.

Proceed as planned, wait for my instructions.

Understood.

Kang.

You didn't come.

I didn't say I would show up.

But don't worry,

my assistant Ceng Rou will follow up on all the work.

You will receive the goods soon.

You will understand then that the wait is worth it.

It had better be,

we didn't spend a lot of money

just to pre-order a bunch of toys.

Be patient, gentlemen.

I will remove

all obstacles.

I received another message,

it's a recording,

listen.

It had better be,

we didn't spend a lot of money

just to pre-order a bunch of toys.

Be patient, gentlemen.

I will remove

all obstacles.

The message cut off halfway through.

Jiang Li is certainly in danger.

Let's get home and get our things,

tomorrow morning we'll go to Laiwa Snow Mountain.

It's here.

What's going on?

Are we too late?

Logically speaking

based on the money produced by the entire place

there should be at least 50,000 Core Robots for sale here.

In addition,

there should be 2,000 Core Robot workers.

but now

there is no movement of machinery here at all.

And no Core Robots either.

He specifically wanted this factory from me.

It can't be just to have it empty.

Wait,

someone's here.

Come with me.

If a fish hits the net,

why don't you close the net quickly?

Qiao You?

Qiao You.

This time the journey is too far,

and we don't know what we'll encounter.

You stay at home where it's safer.

I thought something happened to you.

Are you okay?

Silly boy, how could anything happen to me.
