Original subtitles

I'll send you there tomorrow.

I'm leaving.

Are you really not going?

No, you don't have to go through all this trouble for me.

There's no trouble at all.

We're just here to celebrate your coming back.

It's not like I've caught Wang Dayong. What's there to celebrate?

You go.

Send my regards.

Sir, please open the trunk for me.

OK.

Sir, let's go.

Hey, Bro Bing.

You really came back!

What? Am I not welcome?

No.

A friend of yours told us you'd come back today.

We didn't believe it.

Who?

Bro Bing, the taxi driver.

He's been waiting for you in the car.

Bro.

Did you work the night shift last night?

No, I didn't sleep well.

You can't even sleep well?

I'm just feeling so annoyed.

What's wrong?

Did you quarrel with Lisha?

No.

It has nothing to do with her.

Fine.

I won't ask if you don't want to tell me.

But your car needs a wash.

It's so dusty.

Bro.

You're not loyal to your friends.

Why?

Why didn't you call me when you went to hunt Wang Dayong?

You didn't take me as your buddy.

Then what do I take you for?

Shitou.

Remember,

everyone in the 3rd Squad is my buddy.

Bro,

the 3rd Squad is gone.

Yes.

It is.

Even if nothing happened to us,

as Lin Ying said,

the institute reform has extended to the Major Crime Unit.

That's not what I meant.

I meant the people from the 3rd Squad had changed.

How?

They had.

Back then, Wang Dayong ran away;

you were arrested;

we took off our uniforms.

We were so angry.

But when we got together,

our talk always wound back to this case.

At that time, I thought the 3rd Squad was still there.

But later,

Liao opened the restaurant;

Bin's business was getting bigger;

Xu also went to his father-in-law's place to sell insurance.

Gradually,

no one seemed to mention it again.

I thought maybe it was because you were not here.

But now that you're back,

you've even started to hunt Wang Dayong.

What about them?

What about them?

I think

we should find a proper job for Bing.

When he is busy,

he won't have time to go out.

Yes.

Ma,

why don't you find some connections

and find a job in your jurisdiction?

You flatter me.

But I've indeed thought about it.

I have an old classmate

who's a leader in the reservoir management office.

They're recruiting

for a man to guard the dam,

though it's not an officially budgeted post.

Guard the dam?

Isn't that just a security guard?

That's too lowly.

How can you call it a security guard?

You need to be trained before going to work there.

Besides, it has no trouble,

and it is stable.

Although it's not an officially budgeted post,

the benefit package is the same.

Guys.

Are you alone?

Bro Bing said he was not coming.

Why not?

Wait a sec.

Hello, who is that?

Bing?

We're all here.

OK.

Got it.

OK.

Bing said

he'd be here soon.

Were you tricking us?

Let's go to Liao Jian's place.

Why?

To eat.

There are so many places to eat.

Why must we go to his place?

Cut the crap and drive.

Does he still insist on going to Chabang?

Bing starts to be stubborn again.

You're all here.

Bro Bing.

Come in.

I went to search for Wang Dayong.

I heard that Shitou quarreled with you about it?

Actually, it was not really a quarrel.

Shitou,

apologize to them.

Why should I?

What did I do wrong?

It's them who forgot their original cause.

What did I tell you on our way here?

I understand what you said,

but I don't accept it.

I don't care about the others,

but I must follow you to Chabang.

Everyone is here.

There was a traffic jam on our way here.

Everyone, take your seats.

Shitou.

Come on. Sit down.

Alright.

All the old buddies

from the 3rd Squad

are all here.

Let me tell you something from deep in my heart.

When I just went to jail in 1998,

I was thinking,

"Eleven years!

How hard it will be!"

And it was indeed hard.

I'd been a policeman for so many years.

There was a great gap in my position change.

But later,

I got used to it gradually.

Then, I became insensitive.

When we were policemen,

we didn't have time to think about things other than the cases.

In jail,

I had nothing but time.

All these years, I've thought about

home,

Tong,

the 3rd Squad,

the April 12 Case,

and Wang Dayong.

Anyway, about all the things.

I've thought a lot.

In the end,

it all came down to one thing.

What kind of life should I live after I was released?

We are thinking about it, too.

I happen to know a leader

of the reservoir.

I know

you are all thinking of me.

You're doing it for my own good.

I understand.

I also want to find a job

and live a stable life.

At least when I was just released,

I had this kind of thought.

When I was at Liuzi's place,

I didn't earn so much.

But at least

it was stable.

We could also often get together

and have a drink.

It was pretty good.

Until I heard

Wang Dayong was still on the run.

Only then did I know

I really couldn't

ignore this.

Neither can I.

This is not something you should be entangled in.

You're not a cop anymore.

Don't torture yourself with this.

It's not torturing.

It's my destined practice.

It has nothing to do with whether I'm a cop or not.

When I was wearing the police uniform,

I thought I lived up to my occupation as a cop.

Now that I'm not wearing it,

I have to live up to

the glory it once brought to me.

I dirtied it.

I have to wash it clean myself.

I dragged the 3rd Squad down.

Now I see you're living a good life,

I feel a little bit better.

If this case can't be brought to an end,

I will never be able to start over.

I know

you all have this thorn in your hearts.

Shitou said

we should all go together.

I understand,

but I won't agree.

You all have your own life now.

This kind of stability

is the most precious thing.

Don't let me owe you more.

Bro Bing.

If you really want to help me,

let me go alone,

settle this thing,

and pull out the thorn.

Thank you.

Shitou.

Stand behind Uncle Seven.

Cai Bin, you two change places.

I'll be at the side.

Yes. That's good.

You should be in front.

Liao Jian.

You're on Uncle Seven's left and in the front.

You and Uncle Ma move to the middle.

OK.

Here.

Stand here.

Chen.

Press this.

OK.

Come on, let's make the V gesture.

OK.

Come on.

OK, smile.

Three.

Two.

One.

Cheese.

I think what he said makes sense.

It's not realistic for us to investigate overseas.

What?

Is it realistic

for Cheng Bing to go overseas to investigate?

At least he's not an official.

It'll be easier for him to get about overseas.

And he promised

once he found any clues,

he'd let us know immediately.

We don't need it.

Tell him

to stay out of this case.

I said that already,

but he said he's a legitimate citizen,

and that we have no right to restrict his freedom.

Give me his phone number.

I'll talk to him.

Give it to me.

He's getting his passport at the Exit and Entry Administration Bureau.

Sir,

is this the place to get a passport?

Yes.

Do you have your ID card and household register with you?

Yes.

OK. Go to the back and line up.

What are you doing here?

To apply for a passport.

What did I tell you last night?

They promised you,

but I didn't.

I know.

You don't want us to go

because you don't want to disturb our lives.

But I'm different from Liao and the others.

I don't have a life.

Like you, I'm also all alone,

so I'm qualified to go with you.

How are you qualified?

How about...

How about your girlfriend, Lisha?

We broke up.

Why?

It's my problem.

I've been changing girlfriends these years

because I couldn't feel steady or sure

no matter who I was with.

To put it bluntly, it was caused by that incident.

I also think I'm a jerk.

As you said,

we all have this thorn in our hearts.

One needs to pull one's own thorn out.

So you can't be so selfish.

I've sold my car anyway.

If you don't take me, I'll go by myself.

Done.

He said he'd inform us when it was ready to be collected.

OK.

We can find time to prepare for the trip.

We need to discuss what to do. Cheng soldiers.

Is it all done?

Not yet.

We'll come and get it in a few days.

I'd like to talk to you.

Pan Dahai,

you won't go so far

as trying to hinder us from getting the passports, will you?

You are in the same system.

Shi Lei,

it's your freedom to get a passport.

I won't stop you,

nor can I stop you.

Are you still determined to go to Chabang?

Yes.

I met a human smuggler when I was in Ruicheng.

The way he looked at Wang Dayong's photo wasn't right.

Lin Ying has told me that.

I'll follow up on this clue.

You can only go as far as near the border.

You can't do anything overseas.

We have international cooperation channels.

In 2000,

didn't you go to Yunnan to investigate?

Then what?

I also suspected that he went to Chabang.

After I reported it to the Public Security Department,

The department contacted the Chabang police to conduct a joint investigation.

But there was no clue whatsoever.

The local police couldn't find anything.

What can you do?

There might be no result, either.

But if we don't go, there will be no result for sure.

Cheng Bing, I know

I have no right to restrict you.

But let me remind you,

as long as you step on the line, I will definitely arrest you.

I believe that.

Don't worry.

I'll only do things that are lawfully permitted.

Cheng Bing.

This case

has already ruined your life.

Don't let your buddy

sink into it with you.

I've told Pan Dahai about Feng.

He asked the local police to investigate.

It's their business

whether they can find some major criminal.

We can't wait.

I searched online.

This tattoo

is the symbol of a local gangster

called the Brothers Alliance.

Their base is in Chabang.

I have a feeling in my gut

that the Brothers Alliance

must have something to do with Wang Dayong.

So when we get there,

we'll start from here.

Captain Cheng,

do you remember you told me before

when you don't know anything about the case,

you have to trust a policeman's instinct.

That's right.

Bing has always had a great instinct.

Come on. Eat.

Liao, your logistical support is lame.

Do you know what time it is now? The food is so late.

Cut the crap. This is "Buddha Jumping Over the Wall."

It takes time and effort.

Don't go through so much trouble in the future.

Come on.

We'll just have a bite at the diner nearby.

If you want to save me trouble,

move to my place.

What are you peeping at, cook?

This is the secret of our Major Crime Unit.

Right, Captain Cheng?

Alright, get lost.

You were still a kid when I was handling big cases.

All right. Come and eat.

By the way, Shitou,

don't call me Captain Cheng anymore.

People will know

we used to be police.

It's easy for us to be exposed.

Alright, I'll call you Bro Bing from now on.

Hello.

I have something to do outside.

I'll be right back.

OK.

Your wife must be anxious.

Go back now,

or you'll have to sleep on the sofa again.

No way.

I'm the master in my family.

Eat quickly.

I'll make Braised Chicken for you tonight.

OK. Go back.

I'll leave now.

Let's continue.

I have a friend in Ruicheng who runs the jade business.

He told me that in Ruicheng,

there were many visa agencies.

We can get our visas by saying that we go there

to do jade business.

It's very convenient.

How do you know they're having a PE class?

She posted her class schedule on her QQ Zone.

You're good.

I know little about social media.

Which one is she?

They're all wearing the same uniforms.

Where is she? Have you seen her?

How would I know?

Then what are you looking at?

Knowing that she's there makes me happy.

When will we have the autopsy result?

By Wednesday.

Sr. Captain Pan.

What's wrong?

We got news from Yunnan.

Feng went to Chabang ten days ago.

When will Cheng Bing and others leave?

Today.

My wife intended to come today.

But she is too busy taking care of the restaurant.

She has no time.

You shouldn't have come.

Your restaurant must be very busy in the lunch hours.

Don't say that.

Remember to call us when you arrive.

Okay.

Bing, I brought something for you.

It's a bracelet.

Come on, put it on.

Mr. Cai.

Just a wooden bracelet?

You don't know it's made of very expensive wood.

It's not about the price.

It's a token of our friendship.

It can make you safe.

Unless you're taking a shower,

don't take it off.

Okay?

Alright.

Hurry, or you won't make it in time.

Hurry, hurry.

Bing.

I bought personal accident insurances for you two.

The insurances are also valid abroad.

Don't worry about money if you get hurt and need to go to the hospital.

This is yours.

The beneficiary is your daughter.

This is yours.

Bing and I don't need this. That's right.

You must come back safely.

Yes.

Yes.

Bye.

Bye.

They're crazy.

Why are they saluting us in casual clothes?

They're so dramatic.

Bing.

The money in the card was raised by all of us who don't go with you.

You need the money to help you with the investigation.

The password is the last six numbers of your ID number.

Remember.

Your safety comes first.

If we hope to investigate the Brothers Alliance,

we can't live in the trading area.

We have to go to where they frequent.

Why does this room smell so moldy?

Bing.

How should we start?

Bing.

People there have real guns.

I've seen it several times.

This place is quite dangerous.

We should be careful.

It's safer in China.

China is safe.

Brother.

Is he the jade seller you mentioned?

This is Mr. Tang,

King of Jade.

He's Shitou.

He's Zawon,

the bodyguard I hired here.

He can speak a little Chinese.

But he can't speak it fluently.

If you have any questions, ask him.

Say hello to him.

Hello, Mr. Cheng.

Hello.

He killed someone.

Let's go.

Let me show you

the night life in Chabang.

There's a casino on the second floor.

Let's do some gambling. Come with me.

Forget it.

I'll just stay here.

Okay.

You two keep him company.

Why don't you drink with us?

My friend is here.

The boss said

you came to Chabang to look for a friend.

I haven't seen him for more than ten years.

I don't know how to find him.

Do you have a photo of him?

This was how he looked ten years ago.

I heard he had something to do with the Brothers Alliance.

Send the photo to me.

I'll ask around for you.

Do you know people from the Brothers Alliance?

Not really.

The Brothers Alliance is influential here.

Basically, we all know them.

Do you know

where we can find them?

They are from the Brothers Alliance.

Mr. Cheng.

Thank you.

Where is my money?

Answer me. Where is my money?

I'm sorry, sir.

Please stop.

What happened?

He must be a gambler who owes them money.

Are you from China too?

Answer me. Where is my money?

Just ignore it.

These things happen a lot here.

Look.

Even the police do nothing about it.

Where is my money?

Answer me.

Please stop. Please stop.

What a jerk he is.

Such a trouble for his wife and son.

Please, I'll kowtow to you.

Where is my money?

I'll give you all my money.

I'll let you go this time.

Let's go.

Let's go home.

It's all your fault!

Don't hit my mom.

It's all your fault!

Please stop.

Don't you want to have a fight?

Come on, have a fight with me.

Come on.

He doesn't understand Chinese.

Why did he hit you?

He thinks he lost money

because my mom and I brought him bad luck.

Ask him where I can

find the people who hit him just now.

He said he didn't know.

Those people are from the Brothers Alliance.

They always go to him.

Intimidate him

so that he won't hit his wife and son anymore.

If you hit them again,

I'll kill you.

The Brothers Alliance is more complicated than I thought.

Let's ask Zawon about it tomorrow.

He's familiar with this place.

He might help us get some information.

Maybe we can find Wang Dayong with his help.

Fatty told me the mountainous regions

where jade stones could be found were more dangerous.

Bing.

This is the first time I have gone abroad.

I really think our country is a much better place.

Listen.

Is it a gunshot?

This is also the first time I have gone abroad.

When we have the opportunities,

let's travel in a nicer place here.

Our only goal for now

is to find Wang Dayong.

I won't go anywhere else when I catch Wang Dayong.

China is the best.

If we go travel, the whole 3rd Squad should go together.

We can go anywhere then.

They must be drinking together now.

Look at us.

We don't even dare to go out when it's dark.

Does Uncle Seven have a good appetite?

Yes.

Uncle Seven asked you

not to come often as you're all busy.

I'm not busy.

Just some family business.

Someone is knocking on the door.

Aunt Seven.

Liao.

You came so early. Did you guys tell each other you would come?

I'm here to visit you and Uncle Seven.

I didn't expect him to be here.

He came earlier than me.

Let me put it here.

Hello, Uncle Seven.

How are you?

Okay.

Give me a cigarette.

Go buy it yourself.

Did Chen Xiuli ask you

to visit Uncle Seven today?

I don't need her to tell me what to do.

Who asked you to visit Uncle Seven today?

No one.

I just wanted to come.

You came to see Uncle Seven.

But why were you wearing a long face?

Who was it for?

Yes, you looked better just now.

Did you feel anxious at home?

Everything made you unhappy, right?

You got angry after saying a few words.

Did those things happen to you too?

Your urine was yellow too, right?

My urine was not yellow.

Are you sorry for not going to Chabang

with them?

Liao, how about I buy you a flight ticket?

You go.

I trust you.

I'll take care of your restaurant.

Okay?

I don't need you take care of my restaurant.

Chen Xiuli won't let you go, right?

Come on.

Be a man.

Don't be so obedient to your wife.

We've been bros for over ten years.

You make me worried, you know?

I don't know what to do with Chen Xiuli.

But I can punish you.

You're just a freeloader.

So what?

I'm a freeloader.

But at least I do something.

Unlike you.

You're a coward.

Why are you talking so much?

You really want to kill me?

Don't come over.

Are you serious?

I'll call them

and ask how everything is going.

Are you stupid?

What?

If they are investigating the case,

your call will get them exposed.

Use your brain.

If you don't buy cigarettes,

why not give up smoking?

Shut up.

Wait for their call.

Xiao.

Check whether the two insurances

I bought for my friend

need the company to pay out now.

Okay.

No, Mr. Xu.

Anything wrong with the insurances?

Nothing.

Do your work.

Have you ever seen this person?

What are you doing?

These are not expensive.

Bin fooled us.

The brand of the TV here is the same as the brand of the TV at my house.

Mine is good. Why is this one not so good?

I have a friend who knows

where you can find the guy you're looking for.

But you need to give me something in return.

Just tell us how much money you want.

600.

RMB.

Deal.

Qinha.

Do you want to die?

Where are they?

Let's go inside.
