Original subtitles

Name.

An Weiqi.

Your blood test report is out.

You know the result.

Right?

Cheng Bing.

Wang Dayong said he'll only talk to you.

The bureau has approved it.

Maybe you're also a thorn in his heart.

Cheng Bing.

What do you want to talk about?

How did Eryong die?

He died from external force-induced brainstem hemorrhage.

Did you do it?

Sort of.

After all, I landed the last punch on him.

Then he died.

How does it feel to kill someone as a police officer?

I don't want to kill anyone.

I'm different from you on this.

The result is the same.

I didn't want to kill anyone.

They were in my way.

If you took the right path,

no one would stop you.

I am on the right path.

But you stand in my way.

I'm not the one who stands in your way,

but the evil you did before.

Wasn't it evil for the police to kill someone?

I've already paid the price

for my mistake.

It's your turn now.

I watched the news.

You were sentenced to 11 years.

I actually served nine and a half years in prison.

I've been in prison before.

I know people with your identity

would suffer a lot in there.

What do you want to talk to me about?

I don't know.

I just want to talk to someone.

Is it okay?

Why do you want to talk to me?

We should at least meet properly.

You've been looking for me for so many years.

You must have many questions for me.

Go ahead.

I don't have many questions.

There's only one thing

I still don't understand.

After you committed the crime,

we blocked the whole city.

How did you get out of Ningzhou?

You did block the city tightly.

I thought I couldn't escape.

I stayed in the sewer

for six days like a rat.

A fortune teller said

I can't live past 32 years old.

I never believed in fate.

But that day was my birthday.

I thought

if I die,

I'll accept it.

But I didn't die.

Since Heaven has let me go,

no one can stop me.

Do you believe in fate?

No.

Just like the old me.

The fortune teller believes that people like us

have destinies that are marked by ill fate.

We're not conventional.

Our actions are beyond comprehension.

Just like you've been looking for me all these years.

I don't understand destiny charts,

but we're not on the same path.

I'm a cop.

You're a criminal.

You're not a cop anymore.

The uniform isn't just worn.

It's etched in the heart.

Even if it's worn for just a day,

it's a lifetime commitment.

When did you get out of prison?

2007.

2007.

08, 09...

It's been four years.

You've been after me for four years.

You must have been to a lot of places, haven't you?

I've been to

most places you've been.

Which places did you go to?

I went to Yunnan first.

I didn't go to Yunnan first.

I stayed in a small town in Guizhou

for almost half a year.

I didn't dare to work.

When I was broke, I sneaked into houses

to steal things to sell.

They knew those items were suspicious,

so they offered very low prices.

Sometimes, I wanted

to shoot those jerks.

I had a gun and the nerve.

I should've gone to a place more suitable for me.

When I was in jail,

a drug dealer in my cell told me about Chabang.

He said people could make money there as long as they're tough.

I also stayed at that small inn.

I didn't expect the mirror in the bathroom

to be shattered by you.

So that was actually

the first time I've been closest to you.

It's been ten years.

And the boss still hasn't replaced that mirror?

I should thank that stingy boss.

Looks like we're quite fated.

This isn't fate.

If I want to find you,

I have to follow the path you've walked.

Did you also go to Chabang?

Do you remember Feng,

the human trafficker?

He charged quite a hefty sum.

How much did he charge you?

He didn't take money from me.

Mr. Pang asked him to take me there.

So Pang is still alive.

He's crippled.

Originally, I was going for the raw jadeite.

I didn't want to kill him.

He started it.

Do you know

how powerful Mr. Pang is in Chabang?

Yes.

It's because

he believes no one would dare touch him in Chabang

that I had the chance.

He asked me to do him a favor.

If I bring you to him,

he'd pay me 1 billion Chabang dollars.

That's around 3 million RMB.

Never before has my life been valued so highly.

Cheng Bing, I'm quite curious.

How much will the police pay you if you catch me?

The reward on the wanted poster

is around 200,000 yuan.

Mr. Pang does value me.

You should hand me over to Mr. Pang.

You'd be at a loss handing me over to the police.

I didn't catch you for money.

In life,

being humble is the greatest shame,

and poverty is the greatest sorrow.

Both are subjects of ridicule.

I can't understand you.

Everything I've done

is for money.

I do admire one thing about you.

You love money so much,

but you've held

onto that stone for so many years without selling it.

That's the stone I traded my life for.

It's the capital to change my destiny.

I knew Mr. Pang's men

were looking for me everywhere.

I had to be cautious.

So, you've gone into hiding?

Yes.

Mines, forests, small coal mines.

Anywhere that doesn't require an ID,

I've stayed.

Even so,

I'm always on edge,

not daring to leave a fingerprint.

It's quite laughable.

For those years,

I held onto a raw jadeite worth millions,

yet did the hardest, most exhausting work,

worse than a stray dog.

This is the cigarette brand you like.

We found a lot of

these cigarette butts at the crime scene,

with your DNA on them.

I never thought

the person who remembered what brand I smoked

would be you.

It's not that I wanted to remember.

I couldn't forget.

I quit smoking.

She doesn't like the smell of smoke.

The "she" you're talking about, is it Lu Chunqin

or Li Hongxia?

You know Li Hongxia too?

In 2005,

you brought the raw jadeite to Jiecheng

and found Qin Tian,

wanting to sell them for eight million yuan.

But Qin Tian only offered two million.

Qin Tian has a subordinate named Gu Erqiang.

He was willing to pay you three million.

But you refused.

Your guesses are indeed accurate.

It's not that I didn't agree.

After I agreed,

Qin Tian was arrested by the police.

I was afraid of being implicated.

I had to leave Jiecheng.

Stop.

Stop.

What's going on?

Ask her where she's going.

Give her a ride if you can.

Thank you. Sir.

You're welcome.

We're both out and about.

Where are you going?

We're going to Chenzhou.

What a coincidence. I'm going to Chenzhou too.

Really?

It's fate.

Li Hongxia said you two are fated.

She still doesn't know

you used her.

At first, I used her.

Having a woman with a child by my side

could serve as my cover.

Then I went to the foot massage shop.

I felt sorry for them.

After that,

I really wanted to live a good life with them.

Really?

Or was it her offer to help you get the household registration

that attracted you more?

Hongxia is a good person.

She's just unlucky.

I thought you didn't believe in fate.

She does.

To be honest,

I really wanted to go to the Northeast at that time.

As long as I can have a household registration there,

I can live openly.

Unexpectedly,

I just went for a bath,

and everything went wrong.

You don't care?

You don't care?

Fine, since you don't care,

let's call the police.

Yes, give me the phone.

Call the police.

I lost my gun.

I didn't know if and when the guy who stole the gun

would get caught,

or what he would do with that gun.

I had to leave immediately.

The further, the better.

I didn't dare hitchhike along the way.

I just wanted to get to the county as soon as possible

and take a random train to go.

But

I saw a police car on the way.

It was very cold that night.

Also very dark.

I went into the forest in a daze.

It was too dark.

I couldn't tell the directions

and I couldn't see the end.

I kept walking

until I couldn't go any further.

When I woke up,

I found myself

lying on the bed of the forester's hut.

That man's surname is Chen?

Yes. Chen.

Chen Laonian.

You met An Weiqi at that time?

Yes.

I was really surprised by Chen Laonian's gunshot.

I didn't know what happened.

My first reaction was that the mountain was not safe for me anymore.

Look at you.

You won't die.

Am I going to die here?

I’m far away from your heart. You won't die.

Shao Gang.

Shao Gang.

Shao Gang.

Did you call me?

Where did you go?

I went to pee.

Who is this?

A poacher.

I shot him.

Come on.

Give me a hand. Pull his pants up.

I'll handle it for him.

Get up.

Hang in there.

I thought it was just a false alarm.

But I didn't expect

this old man

to call the police station.

Hello?

Police station?

Hello?

I'm from the mountain protector station of Mount Laoniang.

Yes.

I caught a poacher.

Send someone up here

and take him away.

What did you say?

Well, I...

Fine.

I understand. Okay.

Okay, hurry up.

What the hell? They can't come up in the snow

and want me to watch him for two days.

How am I supposed to watch him?

Oh, my God.

He's not seriously hurt.

Go chop wood.

I need to find a rope

to tie him up.

Even though the police were not going up the mountain for the time being,

I couldn't

stay in that place anymore.

I had to find a way to get out of there as soon as possible.

I didn't realize that at night,

Chen Laonian suddenly knocked on my door.

Shao Gang.

Shao.

Shao Gang.

Shao Gang.

Open the door. It's me.

It's me.

Why did you sleep so tight?

Keep an eye on him

for the rest of the night.

He keeps screaming.

I can't stand it anymore.

Just stay here.

Don't sleep too tight.

What are you doing?

Bro.

Bro, let me go.

I still have my mother to take care of.

Let me go.

This is the first time.

This is the first time I did so.

I know I was wrong.

Bro. What are you doing?

Bro.

Bro. Please spare me.

Bro.

Bro.

What are you doing?

Bro, I have money.

I'll give all my money to you.

Bro.

Bro.

Bro.

Apart from being fatter,

his looks and height were a bit similar to mine.

So I wanted to kill him

and live with his identity.

In the pocket of my shirt.

I have money.

I'll give you the money.

Can you spare me?

I'll do whatever you ask me to do.

Let me go, Bro.

All my belongings are here. Bro.

I didn't expect

his ID card would expire soon.

Please spare me.

I'll do whatever you say.

I'll do whatever you say.

You'll do whatever I say?

Yes.

Later I decided

to take him away from the Northeast

so that he could go back to his hometown to get a new ID card.

Don't start a fire.

We can see smoke in the forest.

I'll come back in three or four days.

If you think you can walk out with a lame leg,

you can try it.

When spring comes,

I can collect your body.

I won't run away.

Thank you for saving my life.

The next day, Chen Laonian called the police

and told them not to come up because An had escaped.

A few days later,

I thought it was over.

So I found an excuse

to say goodbye to Chen Laonian.

I took An Weiqi down the mountain.

We traveled to Decheng,

and together, we visited his mother,

then returned to his hometown

to obtain a new ID card.

Then I lied to him.

I told him

he was known for poaching in the Northeast

and the police were looking for him.

He was

scared shitless.

He cried and asked me to help him.

I told him to believe me

and follow me.

I promised to keep him safe.

Then I took him

to a private mine in Jinyang.

You know what a private mine is like.

It's chaotic.

They wouldn't dare say anything

even if a person or two died.

I thought I'd kill him

one day at the mine.

I didn't expect

that Heaven would do it

before I did.

It was

May 12th.

Help!

Is anyone there?

Help!

Help!

Is anyone there?

Help!

Is anyone there?

Help!

Is anyone there?

Help!

Help!

Is anyone there?

Help!

Are you at peace

living with someone else's life?

I've been living with peace of mind for years.

If you hadn't shown up,

I would really think of myself as An Weiqi.

Do you know how much I hate this face?

I have no choice.

I have to live on.

I have to live on well.

I only need a chance to live again.

I've already behaved myself and abandoned the evil.

Why are you taking away

my right to be a good person?

You think you're already a good person?

You think you can be a good person?

In your life,

even at the slightest obstacle,

you didn't hesitate

to overcome it at the cost of someone else's life.

I live to make others live better.

In order to live,

you kill people.

Even if I didn't catch you,

you'll be caught sooner or later.

Because as long as you're alive,

you'll leave traces.

Just like the packages

you sent to An Weiqi's mom.

I don't believe you sent them out of a change of heart.

You just wanted to create

a false impression that her son is still alive.

So that's how

you found me.

I'm quite pitiful.

I've been sending things to someone else's mother for so many years.

My mother is still in the nursing home.

Do you know?

Your mom often sees me as you.

Every time I visit her,

she'd ramble on and on

about you and Wang Eryong

when you were kids.

No wonder.

I've become someone else.

My mother still calls me Dayong when she sees me.

I thought she really recognized me.

I was happy for nothing.

You've been back to Ningzhou?

Yes.

All these years,

I've only been back once.

Raise your head.

Yours.

You are...

Dayong?

Who?

You should have seen

Wang Miaomiao's cell phone number beside the bed.

I answered the call

you made to Miaomiao.

Hello?

Hello?

After the phone was connected,

I felt something was wrong.

Indeed.

Sometimes, you have to believe in your instincts.

Like the first time I saw you,

I knew

I found you.

We're quite similar.

We're both sensitive

and determined.

The difference is

I can sleep well,

but you can't.

I don't believe in fate.

But I believe in fairness.

You'll have to pay for the evil

you've done sooner or later.

Whether people have done evil or not,

they are born to pay their debt.

Who can pay it off?

Have you paid it off?

Not yet.

But by catching you,

I've already paid part of it.

I‘ll take my time to pay off the rest.

I want to pay my debt too.

But I don't have the chance.

Cheng Bing.

You've been after me for so many years.

If you don't

catch me in the end,

is it worth it?

If you had asked me this question earlier,

the answer would have been that it wasn't worth it.

But after all these years,

because of looking for you,

I've met all kinds of people and things.

I gradually figured out a truth.

That is, the important thing in a person's life

is not a result,

but the process of living.

This process

fixes a lot of my problems inside.

It allows me to face

my family and friends better.

Even when my faith was about to collapse

I could heal myself

and keep going.

The road I traveled to catch you

is like a journey

and a practice for me.

It's worth it

even if nothing comes of it.

When I was in the Northeast,

Shao Xiaoyun asked me a question.

I didn't know how to answer it.

She asked,

"When's Daddy coming home?"

Right?

You really can't answer that.

But I still want to thank you.

No need to thank me.

Children are innocent.

They deserve to be treated well.

Wang Dayong.

Everything is settled.

Cooperate well with the police.

Save some dignity for yourself.

If you have a child,

what kind of life do you want him to live?

At least don't be like me.

Unfortunately,

there are no "ifs" in this life.

There are no

"ifs" in this life.

Yes.

Cheng.

I met your eldest uncle today.

So you don't have to go anymore?

No.

You need to dye your hair.

I'm learning how to color hair.

I'll dye it for you later.

You want to practice on me, don't you?

I'm very good at it.

Besides, Auntie Ai Wen told me

she's taking you on a blind date.

You can't wear this.

I'll buy you new clothes after I get paid.

Save some money.

The clothes you bought me never fit.

Don't go. I'm serious.

Is your son on holiday?

He said

he won't come back during the holiday.

Does he have a girlfriend?

I don't know.

Come to my place for a drink tonight.

Not today.

My daughter is back on holiday.

It's better to have a daughter.

Here.

What?

I'll treat you next time.

Where is the money I gave you?

I spent it.

Sr. Captain Pan, can we remove the stuff here?

Yes.

Okay.

Jia.

Wang Dayong has been caught.

Bing is back.

You must hurry

with your marriage to Shitou.

Sis, the stuffing is ready for the dumplings.

Take this pot away.

It's not up to me

to decide.

Well...

What? Does he want to backtrack?

Jia, don't be afraid.

I’ll support you.

It's not like that.

Shitou said

he'd discuss it with Bing and the others,

and then set a time.

Look.

She's already protecting Shituo

even before they get married.

I'm not.

Wang Dayong's case is finally over.

I feel so comfortable.

I'm just happy.

What time is it now?

It's over 1 p.m.

Why aren't they here yet?

Sr. Captain Yao.

The 3rd Squad has completed the mission.

inscribing justice with dedication, and forging the soul of the police force with perseverance. Ultimately, the 3rd Squad completed their mission, but the mission of Pan Dahai, Lin Ying, and other police officers in fulfilling their duty continues.]
