What do you mean?

What is that?

(Help)

Officers.

I suppose it counts as redeeming myself.

Plus, I turned myself in.

You should be lenient to me.

You turned in a note from half a month ago.

And you call that turning yourself in?

It's not like I'm going to just hand myself over.

Did you go back later?

No.

Really.

Officers.

When I left, that guy told me

I'm now one of their VIPs.

I'm welcome to go back anytime,

but I never went back.

Someone in there called for help.

That place is surely shady.

What are you doing?

Boss.

Don't you hear

all that commotion?

Boss.

Can't I just get a peaceful day?

It's not their fault.

Business has been dead lately.

There's not a single job.

Everyone's frustrated.

I'm frustrated too.

The police patrol every day.

Who will come out to have fun?

Boss.

How about

we contact those VIPs?

We have to make some money,

and they can't be that frustrated, can they?

No.

It breaks the rules.

How about this?

Tell them you'll go tonight.

Hello?

Yeah.

Of course.

Today?

Sure, no problem.

We'll pick you up at 7 PM, same place.

See you.

Boss.

We got a job.

Did I say yes?

I'm telling you.

The police are checking every day.

Be careful.

No problem.

Last time, Luo Yi was blindfolded

and driven for an hour.

So we focused on the massage parlor,

setting up surveillance in all areas

that could be reached within an hour.

Plus, Lei and Rui are monitoring from front and back.

It should be fine.

Slow down.

Buddies.

Why

is the drive longer than last time?

Impatient?

Don't worry.

This girl

is even better than last time.

No.

I want

the same girl as last time.

Alright.

No problem.

Lei.

They're suspicious.

I'll leave. You follow them.

Let's go.

(Mangshan Villa)

Why stop?

Nothing. There's a car crash ahead.

We'll move soon.

(Mangshan Villa) Weird.

They've been there for a while.

What kind of driving is that?

Look what you did to my car.

Take a look.

I can't drive?

Whose fault is it?

Director Deng.

Yan Lei.

What's the situation?

There's a traffic jam.

I can't see the target.

I worried I'd lose them. Should we arrest them earlier?

Don't panic.

Our ultimate goal now

is to find their hideout.

Okay.

Look.

I was driving normally.

Normal?

I was driving normally too.

I was just passing from the left.

Making a regular right turn.

What a huge turn, huh?

Do you own the road?

Alright, stop arguing.

I just bought this car. I don't care.

Alright, calm down.

Turn right. Quick, turn right!

Target has turned right.

I'm stuck here. I can't get through.

I'm following them.

(Youth should stay away from drugs. Treasure your prime years.)

Well...

Why aren't we there yet?

Mr. Luo, calm down.

Good things are worth the wait.

We're almost there.

Hurry.

(Mangshan Villa)

This location

is the upscale villa district, Mangshan Villa.

(Mangshan Villa)

(July 25, 2009, Mangshan Villa, Linshan City)

Mr. Luo, we've arrived.

We're here?

Careful.

Here.

Watch your steps.

Okay.

Mangshan Villa Number 12.

Attention.

This is 1201.

Target has been confirmed to be at Mangshan Villa Number 12.

Mangshan Villa Number 12. Hear that?

Check him.

I'll do it myself.

Mr. Luo.

You know the rules.

I'll keep these safe for you.

Alright.

Take him upstairs.

Okay.

Who do you want?

Sir, your car's been scraped.

Come out and handle it.

Who did it?

Who are you?

Don't move. Police!

Turn around.

Police!

Don't move!

Hands on your head and squat against the wall!

Don't move.

Skinner!

I'm one of you.

I was sent here by the police.

I didn't do anything.

Alright, you're safe now.

Here.

Let's go.

Let's go.

(Linshan City Police Bureau)

Cut the act.

You're not Skinner.

Even if you don't talk now,

we'll find out soon enough.

Understand this.

Whether you speak

will impact your sentencing later.

The fingerprints on the duck egg don't match his.

Where's Skinner?

So Chen A'mo hasn't said a word?

Jiajia.

Do you have the surveillance?

I requested it from traffic control

and found only one car leaving

during our operation.

I also found this

and made a map of Skinner's escape route.

I found him ending up

at the foot of Baiwushan.

(Linshan City Police Bureau)

Officer Chang.

We found this car an hour ago.

Jiajia.

Send a coordination notice to nearby police stations.

Okay.

Buddy.

Heading into town?

No, I'm heading back to the village.

So am I.

I'm visiting my aunt.

Give me a lift.

Sure, get in.

Thanks.

(Store)

What do you need?

I need to make a call.

Go ahead.

Hello?

Fei.

Gang.

You'd better reward me.

This month's business

is booming.

We're up another 20%!

All thanks to you.

Can you

give me a bigger bonus next month?

And give me a big red envelope for the year-end bonus.

Boss. Skinner's operation has been busted.

The place got raided.

What about him?

He got away.

Still want to fool around outside?

Yes.

Alright.

Take care of this matter for me then.

Remember.

Handle it properly.

Once it's done,

hide yourselves.

The farther, the better.

Okay.

(Linshan City Police Bureau)

We found it.

Director Deng, we found it.

The tech department verified

that the fingerprints from the off-road vehicle at Baiwushan

match the ones from the salted duck egg at the nightclub.

That person is Skinner.

We've identified Skinner.

Wang Guangqing.

Born November 6, 1979.

No social security record,

and no criminal record either?

(October 19)

(is a heartbreaking day.)

(To save a drowning boy named Wang Guangqing,)

(Chief Chang Yongjun of Nanyangdian Police Station)

(tragically drowned.)

(Chang Yongjun's Grave) (He died at the age of 43.)

(With his life and dedication,)

(he vividly embodied the responsibility and mission)

(of a police officer.)

(A tribute to a police hero.)

Isn't it ironic, Mr. Yin?

Since I can remember,

he has always wanted to be a good policeman.

For the sake of work,

he worked day and night

and was never at home.

The person he died saving

turned out to be a ruthless human trafficker.

Chang Rui.

I understand how you feel,

but this happened years ago.

Besides, you shouldn't talk about your father like that.

Can you stop overthinking it?

He wasn't a good father.

Chang Rui!

Nor was he a good policeman.

He wasn't a hero either.

He was just a fool.

A big fool.

Issue this immediately.

Pursue him with full force.

Yes.

(Store)

(Wanted: Wang Guangqing) Have you seen this man lately?

No.

Okay.

If you see him,

report to us immediately.

Okay.

Fei.

You're finally here.

Get in the back.

The trunk.

Police are here.

(Police Checkpoint)

Hello, show us your ID.

Please show us your ID.

(Fei Yan)

Get out.

Police are here.

(Driver's License, Fei Yan)

(Police Checkpoint)

Everything you wanted is here.

Next Wednesday at 3 PM.

The dock.

Someone will take you away.

Next Wednesday?

That long?

Fei.

I'm wanted right now.

So you know you're wanted?

Planes are fast.

But would you dare take it?

Enough.

Lay low these few days.

Remember the time

and be at the dock on time.

Fei.

Isn't this a bit little?

This amount

isn't enough to buy my life.

Skinner.

Do you know how big a risk

I'm taking to meet you?

Are you even aware?

No matter how big the risk,

you had to see me anyway.

What then?

Just waiting for me to get caught?

Not enough?

Talk to Boss yourself.

If Boss

were willing to see me,

would I have to see you?

Fei.

If something happens to me,

we're all doomed.

What do you want then?

100,000 yuan

in cash.

100,000 yuan?

I'm afraid

you'll get it

but not live to spend it.

What do you mean?

So it's do-or-die?

We'll just go to jail together.

You think you'll still get fed in jail?

Just take the way out I gave you.

If you're worried about your family,

I'll take care of them for you.

Just leave when the time comes.

Don't come back.

Or no one can save you.

(International Departures)

(Nanjie Provincial People's Hospital)

You're eating so little.

I'll peel you an apple.

Mom.

I'm thirsty.

I'll pour you some water.

I want a soft drink.

Okay.

I'll go buy it right now.

Be good.

Rest well.

I don't force people.

It's okay, Sweetie.

She's yours now.

- Thank you, Skinner. - Thanks, Skinner!

No!

No!

Weiwei!

Don't do this! Weiwei, give me the knife!

Give me the knife.

- Weiwei! - Weiwei!

Weiwei.

Don't do this, Weiwei.

What are you doing, Weiwei?

You're safe now.

Why hurt yourself?

Weiwei.

There's no going back.

There's no going back.

There's always a way back.

It's all in the past now.

Your friends and your family still love you.

There's always a way back.

I let them down.

They hope I could continue school.

But look at me now...

Everyone will laugh at me.

Everyone will look down on me.

No one will laugh at you.

You're not the one who did wrong.

No one will laugh at you.

Stop hurting yourself, okay?

What about your mom?

Weiwei!

Are you okay?

Weiwei.

Why would you hurt yourself?

Sorry, Weiwei.

Sorry.

It's all my fault.

I didn't protect you.

I won't force you to do anything ever again.

If you don't want to go to school, then don't.

If you want to die,

let me die for you, okay?

Don't hurt yourself behind my back again.

Sweetheart.

Sorry...

Sorry...

Sorry...

Zheng Weiwei is so pitiful.

I wonder when we'll get

news about Wang Guangqing.

Hello?

Officer Yang.

Are you with Director Deng?

Hurry to the shelter.

Something happened with Pingjiao.

Okay. I'll be right there.

Alright.

The shelter director just called.

There's some issue with Pingjiao.

She wants us to go over.

What kind of issue?

She didn't tell me the details.

Let's head to the shelter.

Okay.

(Linshan City Shelter) Register all the info.

Yes.

It should be written down.

Director Liu.

What happened?

Director Deng.

You're finally here.

We've called Pingjiao's family many times.

No one came to pick her up.

Her family is strange too.

She won't speak to us either.

Alright, I'll take a look.

Pingjiao.

Do you remember me?

You haven't eaten, have you?

We haven't either.

Want to go out and eat something together?

Director Deng.

Why don't you chat with Pingjiao first?

I'll try contacting her parents again.

They won't come.

They think I'm an embarrassment.

No, don't say that.

Pingjiao, you're not an embarrassment.

You were deceived.

We'll explain everything to your family.

That's not what I mean.

Officer.

If I tell you,

will...

Will you help me?

Of course.

(They've treated me badly since I was little.)

(They gave me a nickname, Zhaodi.) [*Calling for a younger brother.]

(I heard from the villagers)

(it's because they wanted a son.)

(They want me to bring them a boy.)

(That's why they gave me that name.)

(They didn't let me go to school)

(and made me do chores every day.)

(They often beat me.)

(One time,)

(I snuck outside a classroom to listen in,)

(but my father found me.)

(I suffered another beating.)

That's how I ran away.

I understand what you're saying.

Leave it to us.

Jiajia.

Contact Mr. Yin.

Tell him we're sending Pingjiao back.

We'll see what's with her parents.

This is the place.

He

barely leaves the village.

Lv Guoping.

Leaders from Linshan City Police Bureau

have some questions for you.

What?

What questions?

We didn't do anything wrong.

You didn't.

We're just bringing your daughter home.

I don't have a daughter like that.

She's not your daughter? Then how did we find you?

She's not related to us.

I don't want her!

You don't want her?

She's your daughter after all.

How can you just say you don't want her?

She ran off on her own.

That ungrateful girl.

We worked very hard to raise her,

and she just left without a word.

How ungrateful.

You think you can run off and just come back?

You've got some nerve.

You did shameful things outside

and expect me to pick you up after you were caught?

Why should I?

You're shameless,

but I still want my pride!

Why are you yelling?

She wasn't arrested.

She was tricked by traffickers.

She suffered.

She's not my mom's biological daughter.

She's just a stray.

Who are you calling a stray?

Who are you calling a stray?

- What are you doing? - Put it down.

What did you say?

Restrain him.

Pingjiao.

- Stay still! - Calm down.

Put it down!

Calm down.

You hit me?

Lv Guoping!

You'd better explain.

Is Pingjiao your biological daughter or not?

No, we adopted her.

Adopted?

Do you have the paperwork?

Show us.

Here's the thing.

Let me explain.

Back then,

I had a miscarriage

and couldn't get pregnant after that.

Later,

the village elders told us

that raising a girl could help bring a son,

so we adopted her.

Where did you adopt her from?

A distant relative.

What's their name?

Where do they live?

You bought me with money.

You're all just traffickers!

I just bought you!

I didn't steal you! What's wrong with that?

Do you know child trafficking is illegal?

Illegal?

How is it illegal?

We didn't buy her.

She was gifted by our relative. Gifted.

Enough.

Let me make this clear.

Buying or selling is a crime.

To get to the bottom of this,

you're coming with us to the station

to investigate everything.

Take them away.

No, I have to take care of my child! I can't go!

Son!

Son!

Son!

I won't go!

Don't take me away!

It's okay.

(Linshan City Police Bureau)

Director.

The DNA test results are in.

Pingjiao isn't their biological daughter.

Her adoptive parents also confessed.

A cripple

sold her to them.

A cripple again?

Over a decade ago,

child trafficking was at its peak.

Yan Lei, watch that area.

Jiajia, check the database

for a DNA match for Pingjiao.

A village on Mangshan's north slope

lost a child in 1998.

And that child's DNA

is an exact match for Pingjiao's.

You'll be seeing your biological parents very soon.

(Police)

Director Deng, this is Lin Village.

This is the village chief, Bai.

Hello, Director Deng.

Hello.

This is Bai Xiujing.

Bai Shengquan's daughter.

Bai Xiujing's home is over there.

I'll take you there.

Just turn the corner up ahead.

Alright.

It's right there.

Look, it's where three people are standing.

- Bai Shengquan. - Hurry!

Your daughter is back!

Your daughter is back.

Director Deng, this is Xiujing's father.

Bai Shengquan.

This is your daughter.

She's home.

Jing.

You've grown so tall.

Dad...

Dad...

I'm your dad.

I'm your dad.

It's good you're back.

It's good you're back.

It's good you're back.

All these years,

your dad looked so hard for you.

You were missing for years.

We searched many times.

You're all grown up.

Poor child.

It's good you're home.

Dad...

Officers...

Officers.

You came just in time.

Save my daughter, okay?

Madam.

Hurry.

Help me find my daughter!

Honey, calm down!

Calm down!

She was kidnapped.

Right over there.

I...

She's my mom?

I'm begging you!

I...

Honey.

Honey, calm down.

I'm telling you.

She's only seven and a half.

Right here.

I...

I just turned around.

When I turned back around,

someone took her!

I... You...

You...

Did you see my daughter?

Did you see my daughter?

She was wearing a little red vest.

Mom, I'm Jing. Mom!

Madam.

Calm down!

Calm down.

The police brought our child back.
