Original subtitles

Sr. Captain Pan.

Yes.

Sr. Captain Pan.

Several diggers found it.

The person died long ago.

Only the skeleton of his body remained.

I've sent people to visit the nearby villages.

Excuse me. Sr. Captain Pan is here.

Siyuan.

Mr. Wei asked you to give him

the monthly test report.

Hold this for me.

Your name is Zhao Yun?

What happened?

Well, officer.

They spoke rudely to us first.

Who started it?

Them!

Is it Chengxi Police Station?

This is Meilin Police Station.

I want to get some information about a person

who was released from prison not long ago.

I'm asking you.

Who started it?

Officer.

We did hit them first.

But they spoke rudely to us before that.

I'm not asking you. I'm asking him.

He was in prison for 11 years.

He just got released.

No wonder he's got frightening eyes.

Is he a murderer?

A murderer?

A murderer?

A murderer who was in prison for 11 years.

Why did he came to our school?

You want to see your daughter?

Yes.

What's her name?

Which class is she in?

Her name is Cheng Siyuan.

Her nickname is Tong.

I don't know

which class she's in.

She was only six when I left her.

How did you know she's at this school?

I knew it from her mom's letter.

Go and check.

If she's at the school, ask her to come.

Officer.

Get down!

Get down!

I'll apologize to the security guard.

Please let us go.

Okay?

What's the hurry?

We'll let you go if nothing happens.

Don't worry.

We won't hurt any good guy

or let any bad guy go.

Besides,

aren't you here to see your daughter?

I won't see her.

I don't want to see her now.

Really?

You still can't leave.

Stay here until we find out the truth.

Get out of the way, everybody.

Get out of the way, everybody.

Get out of the way, everybody.

Get out of the way, everybody.

What's her relationship with the man arrested inside?

Why is she called away by the police?

Are you Cheng Siyuan?

He said he's your father.

Raise your head.

Raise your head.

Do you know him?

He said he's your father.

I don't know him.

One is 20 and the other is 40.

They were wandering around the school gate.

The security guard found them suspicious so he came to ask them.

They hit the security guard.

And then the security guard called the police.

Both of them have criminal records.

One of them got released from prison not long ago. Somebody, come.

I want to see your leader.

Why are we locked up here?

Somebody, come.

Officer.

Is anyone here?

Anybody?

Somebody, come.

Stop shouting.

The leader is here.

Be more quiet.

Stop shouting.

Officer.

Officer, listen to me.

We really didn't do anything.

The security guard spoke rudely to us first.

That's why we fought against him.

We will find out

whether you did anything wrong.

Be more quiet.

Open the door.

I'm glad that you're back.

This is great.

That's all.

Okay.

Get our dishes ready quickly, please.

Okay.

By the way,

bring me the wine I put at your restaurant.

Okay.

You have gray hair.

You haven't changed much.

That's not true. I've got much more

gray hairs than you.

It's been ten years.

I'm old.

Here.

Why didn't you tell me you were released?

You should have told me.

It's nothing to be proud of.

I felt there was no need to tell you.

I don't think that's a shame.

I'm on duty today.

I'll drink tea instead of wine.

Cheers.

Come on.

All these years,

I've always wanted to visit you.

I didn't have the right to do it.

I was not allowed to see you.

Shitou, Liao and Cai Bin

all wanted to see you.

But we all got rejected.

How is Uncle Seven?

I haven't seen him for a long time.

He always sits on the wheelchair.

He has moved to a new neighborhood.

The new neighborhood is better than the previous one.

There're elevators in the building he lives in.

It's convenient to go upstairs or downstairs.

Where did you move?

It's near the old cultural palace.

I don't remember the name of the neighborhood.

I'm old.

My memory is bad now.

I'm now a vice director of the police station.

I've been serving in the police for many years so they got me promoted two years ago.

To be honest,

the job in the police station

is much easier than that in the criminal police team.

In the criminal police team,

we were extremely busy

and even had no time to take a shower.

Now I work in the police station,

at least I can go home to have dinner every day.

Our bros are doing well too.

Shitou

is a taxi driver now.

He's got a free life.

He also earns a lot.

You know

that Liao likes cooking.

Now he owns a restaurant.

His restaurant is very popular.

And Cai Bin.

Do you remember his wife?

She used to own a small beauty salon.

Now,

the couple has a chain of beauty salons.

So

Cai Bin has become a successful businessman.

They don't know you're back.

I'll tell them in the group chat.

They must be very happy.

What's wrong?

They all miss you.

Ma.

Pretend that you didn't see me today.

Thank you

for your help today.

Bing.

Bing.

Dad, have you caught the bad guy?

Of course.

My dad is a hero.

You are excellent, Dad.

He said he's your father.

I don't know him.

What are you thinking?

What's wrong?

Zhao Yun left the key inside the car.

The customer is coming to get the car.

What are you looking at?

Can you open the car door?

Call someone.

Find someone who can open the car door.

No need to call anybody.

You're a good-for-nothing.

I can't believe it.

You were so careless.

Let me try.

Bing, you're amazing.

That's awesome. Teach me this skill.

If that happens again,

I still don't know what to do.

Get me a Band-Aid.

Cheng Bing.

I want to talk to you.

Cheng Bing.

I hope you won't see your daughter again.

We talked about it last time.

She's a tenth grader now.

She's under a lot of pressure at school.

Yes.

I didn't mean to disturb her.

I just hoped to see her from a distance.

I can understand you.

I know you want to see your daughter very much.

But I'm begging you.

Stay away from her.

Don't hurt her anymore, okay?

Why do you think I'm hurting her?

I'm her father.

Father?

You brought her so much pain.

She was mocked and bullied at school.

She failed the background check for the National Defence Academy.

Look what you brought her.

Do you know why we moved?

The kids in the kindergarten

said Tong's father was a murderer.

No one played with her.

She cried before going to bed every day.

What could I do?

We could only move to a new place

where no one knew us.

At first,

she asked me

when you would come back.

Later she didn't do it anymore.

Because she was really

disappointed at you.

Then I met Zhao.

Zhao treated her like his own daughter.

He gave her love,

took care of her, and played with her.

So Tong began to smile.

We want to give her

a healthy environment.

It is actually quite difficult.

Really.

You can't just show up. You can't be so selfish.

You can't just ruin

everything we've done.

Cheng Bing.

Not everyone is qualified to be a father.

It's not a title.

It represents a responsibility.

Do you understand?

It may sound cruel

but I really wish

that Tong didn't have

any memories about you.

Cheng.

I'm Zhao Mingfu.

At first, I knew you

from the news.

I didn't know Wenfang at that time.

After I met her,

I got to know it was you.

You divorced in 2002.

We were together in 2004

when Tong was twelve.

When I first met Tong,

she was a little autistic.

She didn't talk much and was always sad.

She barely talked to me.

It took me

three years

to gradually

get her to open her heart to me.

Then she began to be like other children.

She was happy every day

and she accepted my kindness.

She also advised her mother and me

to have a child.

I know I shouldn't have said these things in front of you.

I just want you

to know more things about her.

No matter what I do,

I can never replace you in Tong's heart.

I saw her holding your photos

and crying for many times.

Cheng.

In Tong's heart,

you're a hero.

She wanted to grow up

by following your steps.

Unfortunately, you suddenly disappeared.

It was a huge blow to her.

No kid played with her.

Everyone bullied her.

They said her father was...

You missed many important moments in her life.

You have to admit it.

So I want to make up for her.

You should.

But you need to do it in a smart way.

He told me she had seen you at school.

She didn't know how to face you.

So she pretended not to know you.

I know it hurt you a lot.

But you shouldn't blame Tong, right?

The pains

she suffered at school

should never come to her again.

Right?

If she experiences

such pains again,

she may be devastated.

I know.

The best way to make up for her

is not to disturb her.

Zhao.

Thank you.

Take your time.

The victim was an adult man.

He was aged

between 30 to 33.

His skull was hit by a blunt object.

There are clear signs of it.

Judging from his skeleton,

the year when he died

was between 1998 to 2000.

Can you get his DNA for a test?

Sr. Captain Pan.

Look at his skeleton.

It's impossible to get his DNA.

Hello, Uncle Ma.

Ying, I have good news.

I saw Cheng Bing yesterday.

Captain Cheng?

He's been out of prison for a while.

But he didn't contact anyone.

I'll see you after work.

Let's talk in person.

What happened to Cheng Bing?

He's out of prison now.

Ma saw him.

Send the pager to the technical department.

See if we can get any clue from it.

Okay.

Lin Ying.

Greet Cheng Bing on my behalf when you see him.

He has completely changed.

He has lost all his energy.

He

is so down.

He was in prison for over ten years.

That could change anyone.

Do Shitou and others know he's out of prison?

I didn't dare to tell them.

Bing

doesn't want to see anyone.

I'm afraid if I tell Shitou and the others,

they'll go to him.

He wants to forget about his past.

We don't know

what he has been through in the past ten years.

He doesn't know

how to face us now.

When I think about the thing

that happened ten years ago,

I feel so sad,

let alone him.

Bing

must feel much sadder about it than me.

Did he say anything else?

He also asked about Uncle Seven.

He must have looked for him.

But Uncle Seven moved.

Uncle Ma.

I have an idea.

Sir, it's done.

Okay. Here you are.

Let me take care of it.

Back the car.

Back.

Keep backing.

No veering.

Turn the steering wheel.

Good.

Go forward.

Okay.

Need car washing?

Ten yuan.

Captain Cheng.

Zhao Yun, your work.

I need to go to the toilet.

Okay.

Captain Cheng, I'm Lin Ying.

Can't you recognize me?

Right, I was a young girl back then.

I'm almost 40 now.

When were you let out of prison?

A while ago.

Why didn't you contact us?

We're so close.

I am going to visit Uncle Seven today.

I didn't expect to see you here.

Where is Uncle Seven now?

You go to the toilet first.

I'll take you to see him later.

What a coincidence.

If I hadn't gone to get my car washed,

I wouldn't have seen you.

Your car was not dirty.

You didn't need to get it washed.

Not dirty?

I think it was.

Lin Ying.

You're not good at acting.

Did Ma tell you?

Yes.

Is the car from the team?

I bought it myself.

All the cars in the team are used to help us solve cases.

Cars are much cheaper now.

Everyone can afford it.

Do you remember where this is?

The stadium should be ahead.

The stadium was demolished long ago.

We're on Yingbin Road.

It was built in 2005.

It's the main road now.

Everything has changed a lot, right?

Yes.

Master, where are you?

Anything happened outside?

No, he hasn't come out since he entered.

Keep an eye on him. Don't let your guard down.

Master, I have an idea.

Save your idea.

Catch him first.

Keep an eye on him.

Bye.

That is my disciple.

He just graduated.

He's got too many ideas.

He aims high but is not very reliable.

Captain Cheng, why are you laughing?

I wasn't like him back then.

I followed you around every day.

I did whatever you asked me to do.

No matter how tiring and difficult it was.

But you still complained that I wasn't very helpful.

I wish they could install a surveillance camera at every intersection,

and we could get the videos filmed by the cameras.

The whole city's surveillance cameras

could be controlled by one computer.

If we want to see the video filmed by the camera at a certain intersection,

we just need to click the mouse.

We could even see the image from different directions

and zoom in on what we couldn't see clearly.

That could only happen in science fiction movies.

Now, what could only happen in science fiction movies has become reality.

A camera is installed

at almost every intersection.

There's a control center in the Bureau.

In the center, we can see what every camera is filming.

It's much more convenient to handle cases now.

You're in good times.

That's Uncle Seven's house.

The one under the green window.

Chen, open the door.

Chen.

Sister Lin.

Where's your grandma?

Aunt Seven.

Aunt Seven, look who's here.

Aunt Seven.

Bing.

Dear, Bing is here to see you.

Bing, who you've been missing, is here to see you.

I'm back.

Look how happy he is.

Let Bing hold you.

Okay.

All right.

All right, have a seat.

Go, take a seat.

The house is so messy.

Please have a seat.

Let me do it.

Alright, alright.

Okay.

Are you Uncle Bing in the photo?

The last time I saw you,

you didn't know how to speak.

Where are Jun and his wife?

They have gone to Shanghai again.

They are doing some sort of business in Shanghai.

Uncle Seven.

Okay.

I'll stop.

In the year when he had a stroke,

he was recovering well.

One year,

when I was doing grocery shopping,

he fell over again.

He can't

go to the bathroom by himself.

When he was healthy,

I almost couldn't see him every day.

Now,

I can see him every day.

In the past,

I had to do everything he told me to do.

Now,

he has to do everything I tell him to do.

He doesn't want to me say these things.

All right, I'll stop.

You're wonderful.

He said

you became old too.

It's been ten years.

Of course I look old now.

He asked about your child and wife.

She and I divorced.

We divorced after I was sent to prison.

I told her to do it.

I didn't want to be her burden.

What about Tong?

Tong is with her mother.

She's a high school student now.

Her mother remarried

to a pretty nice guy.

He treats them very well.

Don't worry.

You were so unlucky.

You all sacrificed a lot

for your work.

In the end, you lost your family.

What was it for?

Stop.

Fine, fine. I'll stop.

Anyway, I'm glad that you're back.

All these years,

sometimes I wondered

whether he could see you again.

He said

before seeing you again,

he couldn't die.

He would always wait for you.

Bing.

Don't feel sad.

Uncle Seven

is lucky.

His condition was identified as a work-related injury.

All his medical expenses can be reimbursed.

Thanks to that man in the 2nd Squad.

He helped us a lot

in getting it done.

Not long ago,

he came to visit Uncle Seven.

He's tall. What's his name?

Pan Dahai.

Yes, Pan.

I'm so forgetful.

My memory is so bad.

He seems to be the vice senior captain for a detachment now.

Not vice senior captain, just senior captain.

Okay, okay, I know.

Not vice senior captain, just senior captain.

Uncle Seven is still so serious.

If he hadn't been so serious, he wouldn't end up like this.

Go grocery shopping.

Okay. I'll go grocery shopping right now.

Chen, let's go.

Let's go grocery shopping.

Aunt Seven, I'll go with you.

Let's go.

Aunt Seven.

Wait for some time.

I need your help.

Go ahead.

Uncle Seven.

I'm sorry for you.

I'm sorry for Aunt Seven.

Uncle Seven, let me finish.

I've wanted to say it for ten years.

I'm sorry for you.

I'm also sorry for my bros in the 3rd Squad.

I'm sorry for Tong and her mother.

Because of me,

you ended up like this.

Because of me,

my bros in the 3rd Squad

were dismissed.

Because of me, the 3rd Squad became a joke.

Because of me,

Tong can't

be confident at school.

I'm sorry for you all.

When I was in prison,

I didn't want to live anymore.

I wanted to kill myself.

But I wasn't allowed to do that.

Then I didn't want to die.

I knew

my death wouldn't solve any problems.

After that, I became numb.

When I was about to be released,

I panicked again.

What should I do after I am let out?

How should I face you all?

At that time,

I wanted to find a place where no knew me

and live there for the rest of my life.

If you live your life like that,

will you really feel easy?

Bing.

I know you feel sad.

That thing

can be a big blow to anyone.

But no matter how hard life is,

you have to live your life.

Now you're back.

Get rid of the old burden

and start a new life.

Although your bros

are not policemen anymore,

they

are doing very well.

Failures are not that terrible.

However, it will be terrible

if you refuse to stay strong and cheer up.

That's something you should be ashamed of.

Paper.

Pen.

Give them to me.

He wants paper and a pen.

Chen, bring him some paper and a pen.

Live a good life.

I'll live a good life.

Uncle Seven and Aunt Seven didn't blame you.

All the members of the 3rd Squad

didn't blame you.

All these years, when we were together,

we talked about you the most.

We were all waiting for you to come back.

When Ma told me

that he had seen you,

I was so exited.

Later, I was a little worried.

I imagined many times how we would meet again.

I never expected

that you would avoid us.

Don't you miss your bros?

Not at all?

Forget about it.
