1
00:00:00,380 --> 00:00:01,220
What's this?

2
00:00:02,460 --> 00:00:03,780
Look carefully.

3
00:00:05,700 --> 00:00:07,020
Look in the middle.

4
00:00:07,340 --> 00:00:08,380
What's this?

5
00:00:08,980 --> 00:00:10,220
Countdown.

6
00:00:12,940 --> 00:00:14,100
Where did you get these?

7
00:00:14,100 --> 00:00:15,500
Wang Miao took them.

8
00:00:15,820 --> 00:00:17,620
Every one of them was taken by him.

9
00:00:17,620 --> 00:00:19,300
Every one has that thing on it.

10
00:00:19,420 --> 00:00:21,100
When did he start taking these?

11
00:00:21,100 --> 00:00:22,380
This is the first time.

12
00:00:22,740 --> 00:00:24,060
Previous to this,

13
00:00:24,060 --> 00:00:25,780
it only appeared in pictures,

14
00:00:26,460 --> 00:00:29,860
but now, it's right in front of him.

15
00:00:30,020 --> 00:00:34,180
I mean, even the things he sees
have that countdown on them,

16
00:00:35,140 --> 00:00:36,860
and it's been ongoing all the time.

17
00:00:40,820 --> 00:00:43,460
Chang, while you're checking these out,

18
00:00:43,460 --> 00:00:45,140
I, uh, I'll fill you in on something.

19
00:00:48,620 --> 00:00:51,020
I used to have a colleague named Tian.

20
00:00:51,180 --> 00:00:52,660
I think you know him.

21
00:00:52,660 --> 00:00:54,380
He has a habit.

22
00:00:55,580 --> 00:00:58,260
Every time he needs to go on a mission,

23
00:00:58,700 --> 00:01:00,700
he'll check the total number
of the cigarettes

24
00:01:00,700 --> 00:01:03,220
in his cigarette pack first.

25
00:01:03,540 --> 00:01:05,740
It has to be odd.

26
00:01:05,980 --> 00:01:07,740
If it's even,

27
00:01:07,860 --> 00:01:10,580
he'll pull one out before departure.

28
00:01:11,540 --> 00:01:13,140
Don't smoke in here.

29
00:01:13,900 --> 00:01:15,620
Strangely enough,

30
00:01:15,980 --> 00:01:17,620
so long as it's odd,

31
00:01:18,020 --> 00:01:20,620
he's guaranteed to catch the suspect.

32
00:01:21,300 --> 00:01:22,180
On one occasion,

33
00:01:22,180 --> 00:01:24,500
after he checked his cigarettes,

34
00:01:24,500 --> 00:01:26,660
I stealthily pulled one out.

35
00:01:26,660 --> 00:01:27,940
Guess what?

36
00:01:28,220 --> 00:01:29,380
On that day,

37
00:01:29,660 --> 00:01:31,620
he cornered the suspect at a dead end,

38
00:01:31,620 --> 00:01:34,540
but somehow the latter
climbed over the wall and escaped.

39
00:01:34,660 --> 00:01:35,780
Because of that,

40
00:01:36,380 --> 00:01:38,580
I didn't get any cigarettes
from Tian for two months.

41
00:01:40,020 --> 00:01:41,060
Chang,

42
00:01:41,260 --> 00:01:42,660
do you think this

43
00:01:44,180 --> 00:01:46,140
has anything to do with the case?

44
00:01:48,140 --> 00:01:49,780
Then what did

45
00:01:49,780 --> 00:01:50,500
Wang Miao do

46
00:01:50,500 --> 00:01:53,300
that had nothing to do
with the countdown?

47
00:01:54,220 --> 00:01:56,740
Wang Miao shut down
the nano experiment,

48
00:01:57,100 --> 00:01:59,060
and the countdown disappeared.

49
00:02:00,020 --> 00:02:01,260
I've always said

50
00:02:01,260 --> 00:02:03,100
that anything sufficiently weird
must be fishy,

51
00:02:03,100 --> 00:02:04,300
but this time around,

52
00:02:05,620 --> 00:02:07,620
this fishy thing's way too unusual.

53
00:02:07,940 --> 00:02:10,420
Do you know who had him
shut down the experiment?

54
00:02:12,060 --> 00:02:13,380
Shen Yufei.

72
00:03:51,540 --> 00:03:53,460
It's very weird that I,
a would-be Buddhist,

73
00:03:53,460 --> 00:03:55,140
raise chickens, right?

74
00:03:57,380 --> 00:03:59,420
I heard chicken used to be
your favorite food.

75
00:03:59,620 --> 00:04:00,700
Yeah.

76
00:04:01,100 --> 00:04:02,420
A student of mine,

77
00:04:03,060 --> 00:04:05,220
who didn't know
I'd converted to Buddhism,

78
00:04:05,380 --> 00:04:06,420
came to visit,

79
00:04:06,420 --> 00:04:08,500
and he actually brought me
a couple of chickens.

80
00:04:08,700 --> 00:04:09,980
I couldn't eat them,

81
00:04:09,980 --> 00:04:11,500
even if I wanted to,

82
00:04:11,500 --> 00:04:12,980
so I had no choice but to keep them.

83
00:04:13,140 --> 00:04:14,140
You see,

84
00:04:14,420 --> 00:04:17,140
now they've become so many.

85
00:04:17,900 --> 00:04:19,140
It's not weird.

86
00:04:20,260 --> 00:04:23,060
I'm a scientist but I pray quite often.

87
00:04:24,340 --> 00:04:25,540
I wonder if these chickens know

88
00:04:25,540 --> 00:04:27,580
it is me who's been feeding them.

89
00:04:28,180 --> 00:04:30,180
Just like I don't know
if the deity you pray to

90
00:04:30,420 --> 00:04:32,460
can see your piety or not.

91
00:04:35,260 --> 00:04:36,980
I mean, the whole universe

92
00:04:37,540 --> 00:04:39,180
is... is like

93
00:04:39,180 --> 00:04:40,980
a malfunctioning fluorescent tube.

94
00:04:40,980 --> 00:04:43,100
It flickers with a crackling sound,

95
00:04:43,100 --> 00:04:44,140
and uh,

96
00:04:44,140 --> 00:04:46,260
Shen Yufei told Wang Miao beforehand

97
00:04:46,260 --> 00:04:48,420
when it would flicker.

98
00:04:49,220 --> 00:04:52,100
The rhythm of its flickering

99
00:04:52,900 --> 00:04:54,340
is a set of codes.

100
00:04:54,340 --> 00:04:56,260
After the codes were deciphered,

101
00:04:57,460 --> 00:04:58,700
they're still

102
00:04:59,260 --> 00:05:00,460
a countdown.

103
00:05:02,060 --> 00:05:04,460
Do you guys raise chickens
in Pastoral China?

104
00:05:05,020 --> 00:05:07,140
That program is the work
of Pan Han and some others.

105
00:05:07,140 --> 00:05:08,540
I got nothing to do with it.

106
00:05:09,860 --> 00:05:14,180
I heard he threw people back
into the natural environment

107
00:05:14,420 --> 00:05:17,220
to reduce consumption and trash.

108
00:05:17,860 --> 00:05:20,500
You don't like his method
of environmental protection?

109
00:05:21,060 --> 00:05:22,340
What's the point of that?

110
00:05:23,060 --> 00:05:24,900
Humans can never give up city life

111
00:05:24,900 --> 00:05:26,300
and get back to nature.

112
00:05:29,340 --> 00:05:31,140
Only a small number of people

113
00:05:31,380 --> 00:05:33,300
have seen through the emptiness
of earthly life.

114
00:05:34,700 --> 00:05:37,140
What is this countdown exactly?

115
00:05:37,740 --> 00:05:39,340
Where does it come from?

116
00:05:39,540 --> 00:05:42,100
And what will happen

117
00:05:42,420 --> 00:05:44,020
when it ends?

118
00:05:45,740 --> 00:05:47,980
That's what I'm going to find out.

119
00:05:48,660 --> 00:05:49,900
Chang,

120
00:05:50,700 --> 00:05:52,140
what should we do with Wang Miao?

121
00:05:54,380 --> 00:05:58,060
Shen Yufei put a lot of work into him.

122
00:05:58,340 --> 00:06:01,020
Her efforts will not be in vain.

123
00:06:02,020 --> 00:06:03,500
But don't worry.

124
00:06:03,660 --> 00:06:04,780
Wang Miao

125
00:06:04,780 --> 00:06:08,020
is definitely our entry point
to the truth.

126
00:06:08,580 --> 00:06:09,740
Yeah.

127
00:06:11,420 --> 00:06:12,420
Alright.

128
00:06:12,540 --> 00:06:13,740
My report is over.

129
00:06:30,700 --> 00:06:31,660
I understand.

130
00:06:32,620 --> 00:06:34,260
You made it an odd number.

131
00:06:34,660 --> 00:06:35,580
See you.

132
00:06:37,340 --> 00:06:39,820
How does it feel to see
through the emptiness of earthly life?

133
00:06:42,380 --> 00:06:43,660
Boring.

134
00:06:44,740 --> 00:06:46,380
You guys think my lifestyle's boring,

135
00:06:47,380 --> 00:06:49,340
and I think yours is boring,

136
00:06:49,660 --> 00:06:50,980
so

137
00:06:52,140 --> 00:06:54,340
this is very interesting.

138
00:06:57,780 --> 00:06:59,260
Interesting.

139
00:07:27,140 --> 00:07:28,180
Professor Peng,

140
00:07:28,180 --> 00:07:30,060
I'm Chang Weisi.

141
00:07:30,260 --> 00:07:32,140
I got a question for you.

142
00:07:32,380 --> 00:07:33,580
Can the universe

143
00:07:33,740 --> 00:07:35,300
flicker?

144
00:07:39,620 --> 00:07:40,260
We've got

145
00:07:40,260 --> 00:07:42,860
European, North American, African,
and all other major combat zones.

146
00:07:42,860 --> 00:07:44,820
Send those pictures to them right now.

147
00:07:44,820 --> 00:07:45,980
Okay.

148
00:07:48,900 --> 00:07:49,860
I'm sorry

149
00:07:49,860 --> 00:07:51,380
to have kept you waiting, everybody.

150
00:07:51,380 --> 00:07:52,740
Latest news.

151
00:07:52,740 --> 00:07:54,220
A moment ago,

152
00:07:54,220 --> 00:07:59,020
another exceptional case
happened in Asian Combat Zone.

153
00:07:59,020 --> 00:08:00,740
Another scientist's suicide?

154
00:08:00,740 --> 00:08:01,780
No.

155
00:08:01,780 --> 00:08:05,100
Someone saw a countdown.

156
00:08:05,420 --> 00:08:06,420
A countdown?

157
00:08:06,420 --> 00:08:08,500
You mean, like, the ones in the photographs?

158
00:08:08,500 --> 00:08:09,540
Were they printed?

159
00:08:09,540 --> 00:08:11,020
They're not printed.

160
00:08:11,020 --> 00:08:12,540
We haven't verified

161
00:08:12,540 --> 00:08:14,140
how they came into being.

162
00:08:14,140 --> 00:08:15,540
Those on the pictures

163
00:08:15,740 --> 00:08:17,780
are only in a preliminary form.

164
00:08:17,780 --> 00:08:18,940
What do you mean?

165
00:08:18,940 --> 00:08:21,700
Are they projected
or are there other carriers?

166
00:08:21,700 --> 00:08:23,100
It's somewhat bizarre.

167
00:08:23,100 --> 00:08:24,620
I should say

168
00:08:24,620 --> 00:08:27,700
this is something
we've never seen before.

169
00:08:28,820 --> 00:08:31,020
It's on his retina.

170
00:08:32,980 --> 00:08:34,380
What? Undercover?

171
00:08:39,580 --> 00:08:40,860
That's one way to put it.

172
00:08:40,860 --> 00:08:41,940
You see,

173
00:08:42,340 --> 00:08:43,580
all those things

174
00:08:43,580 --> 00:08:45,060
have something to do with Shen Yufei

175
00:08:45,060 --> 00:08:46,940
and the Frontiers of Science,

176
00:08:46,940 --> 00:08:48,580
and Shen Yufei came to you.

177
00:08:49,140 --> 00:08:50,860
If you don't go undercover,

178
00:08:51,020 --> 00:08:51,820
do you think

179
00:08:51,820 --> 00:08:53,620
they'll come to me someday?

180
00:08:57,980 --> 00:08:59,380
I used to think

181
00:09:00,100 --> 00:09:02,580
the Frontiers of Science
was just an academic organization,

182
00:09:02,980 --> 00:09:05,100
but I see it differently now.

183
00:09:06,660 --> 00:09:08,140
What do you mean by "differently"?

184
00:09:08,140 --> 00:09:09,540
I don't know how to explain it,

185
00:09:10,300 --> 00:09:11,220
but I know very well

186
00:09:11,220 --> 00:09:12,140
that they're desperate

187
00:09:12,140 --> 00:09:14,060
to have me accept a hard truth.

188
00:09:15,260 --> 00:09:17,700
And it's that no matter whether
we're eating,

189
00:09:17,700 --> 00:09:18,740
chatting,

190
00:09:21,020 --> 00:09:23,500
or improving civilization,
developing science and technology,

191
00:09:23,500 --> 00:09:25,380
or deepening our understanding
of this society,

192
00:09:25,380 --> 00:09:27,100
it doesn't change the fact that we're

193
00:09:27,100 --> 00:09:29,300
just a flock of turkeys
on a shabby farm.

194
00:09:29,300 --> 00:09:32,260
Even so, you're an undercover
science-savvy turkey.

195
00:09:32,500 --> 00:09:33,740
I'm not like you.

196
00:09:33,740 --> 00:09:35,340
I'm a bodyguard turkey.

197
00:09:35,340 --> 00:09:36,460
Don't worry.

198
00:09:37,220 --> 00:09:39,940
I'll always be there for you.

199
00:09:40,980 --> 00:09:42,460
You'll never understand

200
00:09:43,100 --> 00:09:44,740
what I've been through,

201
00:09:45,980 --> 00:09:47,660
or what I'm going through.

202
00:09:51,260 --> 00:09:52,220
Here.

203
00:09:52,580 --> 00:09:53,620
Look here.

204
00:10:02,140 --> 00:10:03,180
Don't be afraid.

205
00:10:03,500 --> 00:10:05,260
I had a friend make this for me.

206
00:10:05,260 --> 00:10:05,980
I told him

207
00:10:05,980 --> 00:10:08,620
I wanted a super-long countdown timer.

208
00:10:09,100 --> 00:10:11,140
He's an expert bomb maker

209
00:10:12,020 --> 00:10:13,100
who blows up things.

210
00:10:13,100 --> 00:10:14,980
This is the best he can do.

211
00:10:15,660 --> 00:10:17,060
I...

212
00:10:17,180 --> 00:10:18,580
I don't know

213
00:10:18,580 --> 00:10:20,660
what your countdown is about.

214
00:10:20,660 --> 00:10:22,220
Anyway, here's the point.

215
00:10:23,060 --> 00:10:24,100
Wang Miao,

216
00:10:24,460 --> 00:10:26,540
if your time is up,

217
00:10:26,940 --> 00:10:28,980
mine will be up

218
00:10:28,980 --> 00:10:29,980
as well.

219
00:10:31,540 --> 00:10:32,820
Do you understand?

220
00:10:35,820 --> 00:10:36,820
Come on.

221
00:10:37,180 --> 00:10:38,260
Let's set the watch.

222
00:11:08,860 --> 00:11:10,420
You became cross-eyed.

223
00:11:10,420 --> 00:11:13,220
Are the numbers of the countdown
very close to each other?

224
00:11:14,140 --> 00:11:15,380
Not that close.

225
00:11:16,300 --> 00:11:17,820
Tell me. What is it?

226
00:11:18,260 --> 00:11:19,700
One, zero, one, eight,

227
00:11:19,700 --> 00:11:21,380
four, five, two.

228
00:11:21,540 --> 00:11:22,620
One.

229
00:11:23,700 --> 00:11:24,660
Zero.

230
00:11:26,100 --> 00:11:27,220
One, eight.

231
00:11:27,780 --> 00:11:28,700
Four.

232
00:11:28,700 --> 00:11:29,340
Five.

233
00:11:29,340 --> 00:11:30,220
Two.

234
00:11:30,740 --> 00:11:31,820
Alright.

235
00:11:33,420 --> 00:11:35,580
Tell me when it's double four.

236
00:11:35,580 --> 00:11:37,100
I'll press the button at the same time.

237
00:11:37,100 --> 00:11:38,460
Countdown starts.

238
00:11:39,580 --> 00:11:40,660
Five.

239
00:11:40,660 --> 00:11:41,540
Four.

240
00:11:41,540 --> 00:11:42,540
Three.

241
00:11:42,540 --> 00:11:43,540
Two.

242
00:11:43,540 --> 00:11:44,660
One.

243
00:11:49,020 --> 00:11:50,100
Are they the same?

244
00:11:53,300 --> 00:11:54,260
Yeah.

245
00:11:54,260 --> 00:11:55,340
Okay.

246
00:11:57,300 --> 00:11:58,500
Done.

247
00:12:02,420 --> 00:12:03,460
Look.

248
00:12:05,220 --> 00:12:06,660
It seems insubstantial.

249
00:12:13,460 --> 00:12:16,020
The experiment has been restarted.

250
00:12:16,020 --> 00:12:19,300
When can you finish the Flying Knife?

251
00:12:19,300 --> 00:12:20,100
It's Flying Blade.

252
00:12:20,100 --> 00:12:21,740
Are there any differences?

253
00:12:21,740 --> 00:12:23,420
Currently, nano Flying Blades

254
00:12:23,660 --> 00:12:25,820
are made with molecular construction techniques,

255
00:12:25,820 --> 00:12:28,220
but it's very resource-intensive.

256
00:12:28,220 --> 00:12:30,140
Right now what we're trying to do

257
00:12:30,140 --> 00:12:32,540
is develop a catalytic reaction

258
00:12:32,540 --> 00:12:34,300
as a substitute
for molecular construction.

259
00:12:34,540 --> 00:12:36,260
Can you translate those words for me?

260
00:12:36,260 --> 00:12:38,540
I mean, use a language I can understand.

261
00:12:39,060 --> 00:12:40,580
The experiment hasn't succeeded yet.

262
00:12:40,860 --> 00:12:42,460
We still need to work on it.

263
00:12:43,380 --> 00:12:44,820
Can you get the job done

264
00:12:44,820 --> 00:12:46,060
before it ends?

265
00:12:46,060 --> 00:12:47,220
I mean, the countdown.

266
00:12:48,780 --> 00:12:50,020
I don't know.

267
00:12:50,780 --> 00:12:53,220
You said the countdown halted

268
00:12:53,220 --> 00:12:54,820
when you stopped the experiment.

269
00:12:54,820 --> 00:12:56,380
Is it possible that

270
00:12:56,500 --> 00:12:58,780
this is a countdown to your success?

271
00:12:58,780 --> 00:12:59,860
I mean,

272
00:12:59,860 --> 00:13:00,980
can it be that

273
00:13:00,980 --> 00:13:02,460
you'll succeed

274
00:13:02,940 --> 00:13:04,180
at the end of the countdown?

275
00:13:04,820 --> 00:13:07,300
Your way of speaking is very unreasonable,

276
00:13:07,620 --> 00:13:09,820
but there have been
too many unreasonable things lately.

277
00:13:09,820 --> 00:13:12,020
Just tell me if seeing it this way

278
00:13:12,020 --> 00:13:14,100
cheers you up.

279
00:13:16,820 --> 00:13:18,260
Munphy also talked to Shen Yufei

280
00:13:18,260 --> 00:13:19,860
before his death.

281
00:13:19,860 --> 00:13:21,700
If you're right,

282
00:13:21,700 --> 00:13:23,740
all those who had dealings
with Shen Yufei

283
00:13:23,740 --> 00:13:25,540
have either joined
the Frontiers of Science

284
00:13:25,540 --> 00:13:26,740
or committed suicide.

285
00:13:26,740 --> 00:13:27,620
Not all of them.

286
00:13:27,620 --> 00:13:29,180
You're still alive, aren't you?

287
00:13:29,500 --> 00:13:30,740
That's why you need to join it.

288
00:13:30,740 --> 00:13:31,740
Apart from me,

289
00:13:31,740 --> 00:13:33,100
are there any other survivors?

290
00:13:33,100 --> 00:13:34,100
Yes.

291
00:13:34,980 --> 00:13:36,460
Yang Dong's mother.

292
00:13:40,940 --> 00:13:42,180
During the investigation,

293
00:13:42,180 --> 00:13:43,180
I originally thought

294
00:13:43,180 --> 00:13:45,700
that Shen Yufei got close to Ye Wenjie

295
00:13:45,700 --> 00:13:47,820
for Yang Dong,

296
00:13:47,820 --> 00:13:49,300
but it didn't seem to be the case,

297
00:13:49,300 --> 00:13:51,700
because Ye Wenjie is a scientist herself.

298
00:13:53,020 --> 00:13:55,140
She's alive, and so are you.

299
00:13:55,780 --> 00:13:57,500
You two survivors

300
00:13:57,500 --> 00:13:59,980
don't seem to follow any patterns.

301
00:14:03,620 --> 00:14:04,860
Do you think it's possible

302
00:14:04,860 --> 00:14:06,620
Ye Wenjie can see the countdown as well?

303
00:14:07,340 --> 00:14:08,780
Probably not.

304
00:14:08,780 --> 00:14:11,460
The other day, when I went to observe
cosmic background radiation,

305
00:14:11,460 --> 00:14:13,300
it was she
who contacted her student for me.

306
00:14:13,700 --> 00:14:16,060
If she could also see the countdown,

307
00:14:16,540 --> 00:14:18,540
she should know what I was there for.

308
00:14:18,900 --> 00:14:21,020
You've looked into Ye Wenjie, right?

309
00:14:21,300 --> 00:14:22,100
Yeah.

310
00:14:22,100 --> 00:14:24,580
Nothing out of the ordinary,
except she didn't commit suicide.

311
00:14:36,660 --> 00:14:37,860
This place

312
00:14:37,860 --> 00:14:39,820
used to be the warehouse of a museum.

313
00:14:39,820 --> 00:14:41,180
It's very roomy.

314
00:14:41,300 --> 00:14:43,140
Now it's your office.

315
00:14:43,980 --> 00:14:45,100
A warehouse?

316
00:14:51,620 --> 00:14:52,700
It's pretty nice.

317
00:14:53,620 --> 00:14:55,220
Being big enough is the whole point.

318
00:14:56,540 --> 00:14:59,260
There are a dozen people, after all.
They need enough space.

319
00:15:13,820 --> 00:15:15,140
You've already started working?

320
00:15:16,020 --> 00:15:17,060
General.

321
00:15:17,660 --> 00:15:19,380
Let me introduce you.

322
00:15:21,260 --> 00:15:22,220
The introduction can wait.

323
00:15:22,220 --> 00:15:23,780
You should wait until everybody's here.

324
00:15:23,780 --> 00:15:25,540
It'll save you the trouble
of introducing me repeatedly.

325
00:15:25,540 --> 00:15:26,580
Everyone's here.

326
00:15:27,980 --> 00:15:29,020
Xu Bingbing.

327
00:15:29,020 --> 00:15:30,580
Transferred here from CID.

328
00:15:30,580 --> 00:15:31,980
She's worth ten agents.

329
00:15:32,540 --> 00:15:33,940
What do you mean by "Everyone's here"?

330
00:15:33,940 --> 00:15:35,260
How do you know she's worth ten agents?

331
00:15:35,260 --> 00:15:37,180
Why should I believe you?

332
00:15:37,180 --> 00:15:38,580
Chang, how can you do this?

333
00:15:38,580 --> 00:15:39,660
You're such a high-ranking general.

334
00:15:39,660 --> 00:15:40,900
How could you go back on your word?

335
00:15:40,900 --> 00:15:43,460
Do I need to have you write it down
every time you make me a promise?

336
00:15:43,460 --> 00:15:44,660
Are you done?

337
00:15:45,340 --> 00:15:46,740
You don't want her?

338
00:15:47,020 --> 00:15:48,340
I'll take her away then.

339
00:15:50,340 --> 00:15:51,820
Go, go, go.

340
00:15:54,300 --> 00:15:55,300
Wait.

341
00:15:55,820 --> 00:15:56,900
You can't leave.

342
00:15:56,900 --> 00:15:58,620
I'm not letting her leave unless you get me

343
00:15:58,620 --> 00:15:59,620
the 10 people as promised.

344
00:15:59,620 --> 00:16:01,300
I need a hostage.

345
00:16:06,860 --> 00:16:07,900
Alright.

346
00:16:22,220 --> 00:16:23,380
Stop it.

347
00:16:24,020 --> 00:16:26,220
I asked Chang for information specialists,

348
00:16:26,220 --> 00:16:27,940
not cleaners.

349
00:16:42,340 --> 00:16:44,740
Ye Wenjie, an astrophysicist.

350
00:16:44,740 --> 00:16:47,740
Mu Xing, a reporter
and freelance media worker.

351
00:16:49,420 --> 00:16:50,900
That's all?

352
00:16:51,180 --> 00:16:52,500
I'm giving you four hours

353
00:16:52,500 --> 00:16:53,820
to gather everything you can

354
00:16:53,820 --> 00:16:54,780
on these two people.

355
00:16:54,780 --> 00:16:55,860
Alright.

356
00:16:59,340 --> 00:17:01,140
This job requires two people at the most.

357
00:17:02,340 --> 00:17:03,180
This

358
00:17:03,180 --> 00:17:04,340
is a list of the names

359
00:17:04,340 --> 00:17:05,860
of all the scientists
we need to look into.

360
00:17:05,860 --> 00:17:06,860
I want all the detailed information

361
00:17:06,860 --> 00:17:08,540
about them and their family members!

362
00:17:08,540 --> 00:17:09,860
It must be done today!

363
00:17:09,860 --> 00:17:10,780
Alright.

364
00:17:11,660 --> 00:17:13,100
And clean this room.

365
00:17:13,100 --> 00:17:14,460
I want it spotless.

366
00:17:14,460 --> 00:17:15,580
Don't say alright.

367
00:17:15,580 --> 00:17:16,540
Say yes.

368
00:17:16,540 --> 00:17:17,660
Understood.

369
00:17:18,180 --> 00:17:19,140
Yes.

370
00:17:33,020 --> 00:17:35,180
Dad, do you feel better?

371
00:17:35,460 --> 00:17:37,540
Doudou put the eye drops in Dad's eyes,

372
00:17:37,540 --> 00:17:39,260
and Dad's eyes feel much better now.

373
00:17:39,260 --> 00:17:40,940
You two, the rice is done,

374
00:17:40,940 --> 00:17:42,780
and the fish will be ready in two minutes.

375
00:17:42,780 --> 00:17:44,940
- Doudou, go wash your hands and eat.
- Get ready to eat.

376
00:17:44,940 --> 00:17:45,900
Hurry.

377
00:17:47,140 --> 00:17:48,780
Wash your hands clean, Doudou.

378
00:17:52,380 --> 00:17:53,420
Li Yao,

379
00:17:53,420 --> 00:17:55,060
you and Doudou may eat without me.

380
00:17:55,060 --> 00:17:56,780
I have an errand to run.

381
00:17:57,060 --> 00:17:58,940
What errand do you
have to run at mealtime?

382
00:17:59,220 --> 00:18:00,860
You're going out, Dad?

383
00:18:00,860 --> 00:18:01,740
Yeah.

384
00:18:01,740 --> 00:18:03,700
Dr. Doudou has cured Dad's eye disease,

385
00:18:03,700 --> 00:18:05,260
so now Dad has to go to work.

386
00:18:05,260 --> 00:18:08,220
I think Dad hasn't fully recovered yet.

387
00:18:08,220 --> 00:18:09,740
The treatment has to continue.

388
00:18:09,740 --> 00:18:11,060
You still don't get it?

389
00:18:11,060 --> 00:18:11,980
Your daughter

390
00:18:11,980 --> 00:18:13,460
wants you to stay at home a bit longer.

391
00:18:13,460 --> 00:18:14,700
Right, Doudou?

392
00:18:17,140 --> 00:18:19,100
Dad will stay at home
and keep Doudou company

393
00:18:19,100 --> 00:18:21,060
for many days after finishing this job.

394
00:18:21,380 --> 00:18:22,220
Be good.

395
00:18:22,220 --> 00:18:23,100
Sit there and eat.

396
00:18:23,100 --> 00:18:25,220
Alright. Come and eat. Come on.

397
00:18:41,860 --> 00:18:43,540
Li Yao, the fish is almost done.

398
00:18:43,540 --> 00:18:44,580
You may turn off the heat now.

399
00:18:44,580 --> 00:18:46,380
It can't be done so soon.

400
00:18:49,420 --> 00:18:51,780
You're so accurate.
Are you a stopwatch or something?

401
00:18:52,980 --> 00:18:54,220
You're

402
00:18:54,500 --> 00:18:55,780
just too tense,

403
00:18:55,780 --> 00:18:57,380
and too punctual.

404
00:18:57,380 --> 00:18:59,060
It's bad for your health.

405
00:18:59,180 --> 00:19:01,140
I have an appointment
with an old expert today.

406
00:19:01,140 --> 00:19:02,380
I can't be late.

407
00:19:02,580 --> 00:19:03,660
Doudou,

408
00:19:03,660 --> 00:19:04,340
bye-bye.

409
00:19:04,340 --> 00:19:05,900
Goodbye, Dad.

410
00:19:05,900 --> 00:19:06,540
I've got to go.

411
00:19:06,540 --> 00:19:07,460
Alright.

412
00:19:34,420 --> 00:19:36,900
Wang, thanks.

413
00:19:36,900 --> 00:19:38,260
You went to so much trouble.

414
00:19:38,420 --> 00:19:40,260
You're welcome, Ms. Ye.

415
00:19:44,340 --> 00:19:45,740
Alright, thanks.

416
00:19:51,340 --> 00:19:52,900
Let me help you with this.

417
00:20:03,100 --> 00:20:04,500
By the way, Ms. Ye,

418
00:20:04,820 --> 00:20:05,900
a few days ago,

419
00:20:05,900 --> 00:20:07,700
I met a scientist.

420
00:20:08,140 --> 00:20:09,740
Her name's Shen Yufei.

421
00:20:09,940 --> 00:20:11,740
Have you ever heard of her?

422
00:20:14,980 --> 00:20:16,500
It rings a bell.

423
00:20:17,500 --> 00:20:20,900
Maybe I saw her at some kind of event.

424
00:20:21,580 --> 00:20:24,180
If my memory serves me well,

425
00:20:24,340 --> 00:20:26,220
she specializes in nanotechnology

426
00:20:26,420 --> 00:20:28,500
as you do.

427
00:20:28,500 --> 00:20:29,580
Yeah.

428
00:20:29,780 --> 00:20:30,940
By the way,

429
00:20:30,940 --> 00:20:33,020
the other day,
when you went to the observatory,

430
00:20:33,340 --> 00:20:35,860
Sha Ruishan gave me a call.

431
00:20:35,980 --> 00:20:37,380
He said you guys

432
00:20:37,620 --> 00:20:40,420
spotted some rather unscientific stuff.

433
00:20:42,140 --> 00:20:43,060
Yeah.

434
00:20:44,260 --> 00:20:46,580
This is exactly what I want
to consult you about.

435
00:20:46,860 --> 00:20:49,180
You specialize in astrophysics.

436
00:20:49,860 --> 00:20:51,420
In your experience,

437
00:20:51,820 --> 00:20:54,060
do you think it's possible
for the universe to flicker?

438
00:20:55,540 --> 00:20:57,700
According to what we know,

439
00:20:57,700 --> 00:20:58,980
that's impossible.

440
00:20:59,860 --> 00:21:02,140
What about what we don't know?

441
00:21:05,500 --> 00:21:06,940
When science

442
00:21:07,220 --> 00:21:09,740
goes beyond our comprehension,

443
00:21:09,980 --> 00:21:11,300
it usually

444
00:21:11,620 --> 00:21:13,820
gets mistaken for heresy.

445
00:21:14,780 --> 00:21:17,020
That's why it throws people into panic.

446
00:21:19,780 --> 00:21:21,740
In human history,

447
00:21:22,860 --> 00:21:24,580
science caused panic

448
00:21:26,300 --> 00:21:28,180
many times.

449
00:21:30,380 --> 00:21:32,500
During the Renaissance in Europe,

450
00:21:32,500 --> 00:21:34,500
Copernicus got persecuted and repressed

451
00:21:34,500 --> 00:21:37,460
by the Church
for his heliocentric theory.

452
00:21:37,900 --> 00:21:40,900
When The Revolutions
of the Heavenly Bodies was published,

453
00:21:41,260 --> 00:21:43,340
he only stroked its cover

454
00:21:43,540 --> 00:21:45,540
before passing away.

455
00:21:47,340 --> 00:21:50,700
Bruno, who supported
the heliocentric theory,

456
00:21:51,180 --> 00:21:54,180
was burned at the stake by the Church.

457
00:21:54,420 --> 00:21:57,380
Cecco d'Ascoli, an astronomer,

458
00:21:57,380 --> 00:21:59,260
believed that the earth was round,

459
00:21:59,260 --> 00:22:01,020
and he got burned alive as well.

460
00:22:05,660 --> 00:22:07,380
The theories that we see

461
00:22:07,380 --> 00:22:09,100
as common sense today

462
00:22:09,380 --> 00:22:10,980
served only to cause great panic

463
00:22:11,260 --> 00:22:14,140
among the public in that era.

464
00:22:14,380 --> 00:22:17,060
Just like the many problems
we're faced with today.

465
00:22:17,740 --> 00:22:19,140
In the future,

466
00:22:19,140 --> 00:22:20,460
when we look back on them,

467
00:22:20,460 --> 00:22:22,060
we'll find them as unsurprising

468
00:22:22,060 --> 00:22:23,540
as the fact that the earth is round.

469
00:22:55,700 --> 00:22:56,540
Mu Xing

470
00:22:56,540 --> 00:22:57,900
returned from overseas
only half a year ago.

471
00:22:57,900 --> 00:22:59,460
She's in the new media industry.

472
00:22:59,460 --> 00:23:00,620
Her reports are mainly

473
00:23:00,620 --> 00:23:02,420
about science and technology
and environmental protection.

474
00:23:02,420 --> 00:23:04,220
She's very aggressive
in getting exposure on newspapers.

475
00:23:04,220 --> 00:23:05,260
She once exaggerated the facts

476
00:23:05,260 --> 00:23:06,940
to create hot topics.

477
00:23:06,940 --> 00:23:08,060
But some of her reports

478
00:23:08,060 --> 00:23:09,660
did bring attention to the issues

479
00:23:09,660 --> 00:23:11,580
and fix some of the problems.

480
00:23:12,020 --> 00:23:12,900
Nothing else?

481
00:23:12,900 --> 00:23:14,420
All information on Ye Wenjie is here,

482
00:23:14,420 --> 00:23:16,260
including some deciphered files

483
00:23:16,260 --> 00:23:17,660
and some info about her father.

484
00:23:17,660 --> 00:23:18,780
They're all in here.

485
00:23:18,780 --> 00:23:20,780
These are infosheets
about all the scientists on the list

486
00:23:20,780 --> 00:23:21,380
and the family members

487
00:23:21,380 --> 00:23:23,260
of some of the scientists
who committed suicide.

488
00:23:23,260 --> 00:23:24,500
I don't think these infosheets

489
00:23:24,500 --> 00:23:25,940
have any special value,

490
00:23:25,940 --> 00:23:28,180
but I looked into everything
you asked me to look into.

491
00:23:29,260 --> 00:23:30,180
Alright.

492
00:23:30,460 --> 00:23:32,780
If this task was assigned to ten people,

493
00:23:32,780 --> 00:23:34,900
it would definitely have been
a waste of manpower.

494
00:23:38,060 --> 00:23:40,500
In the observatory,
there's a guy named Sha Ruishan,

495
00:23:40,500 --> 00:23:40,860
he...

496
00:23:40,860 --> 00:23:41,660
I know.

497
00:23:41,660 --> 00:23:43,140
He's Ye Wenjie's student.

498
00:23:44,100 --> 00:23:46,700
He went to observe cosmic flicker
with Wang Miao a few days ago.

499
00:23:46,700 --> 00:23:47,940
I'll do some digging.

500
00:23:48,860 --> 00:23:49,860
Here's my cell number.

501
00:23:49,860 --> 00:23:51,420
My phone's on twenty-four seven.

502
00:23:51,420 --> 00:23:52,660
If anything happens,

503
00:23:52,660 --> 00:23:54,020
you may call me anytime.

504
00:23:54,900 --> 00:23:55,860
Yes.

505
00:24:10,540 --> 00:24:11,580
Alright.

506
00:24:17,100 --> 00:24:18,420
Who are you looking for?

507
00:24:18,780 --> 00:24:20,220
So you're Sha Ruishan?

508
00:24:20,220 --> 00:24:21,380
How do you know?

509
00:24:21,380 --> 00:24:23,860
The other day, Professor Wang Miao
paid you a visit.

510
00:24:23,860 --> 00:24:26,460
I need to verify a few things with you.

511
00:24:28,420 --> 00:24:29,660
Who are you?

512
00:24:34,820 --> 00:24:37,540
I want some information
about cosmic flicker.

513
00:24:38,380 --> 00:24:39,780
Are you saying

514
00:24:39,780 --> 00:24:42,900
even if Ye Wenjie knows she's a turkey,

515
00:24:42,900 --> 00:24:45,060
she'll feel it's unsurprising?

516
00:24:45,980 --> 00:24:48,140
We only talked for a short while,

517
00:24:48,900 --> 00:24:51,180
but it made me feel much calmer.

518
00:24:52,380 --> 00:24:54,220
No matter whether those theories

519
00:24:54,220 --> 00:24:56,180
of the Frontiers of Science
are right or wrong,

520
00:24:56,380 --> 00:24:58,180
I find them acceptable now.

521
00:24:59,340 --> 00:25:01,180
Maybe we just don't know

522
00:25:01,180 --> 00:25:02,820
who we are exactly.

523
00:25:02,820 --> 00:25:04,780
Just like Schrodinger's cat.

524
00:25:06,500 --> 00:25:08,020
I know about cats.

525
00:25:08,220 --> 00:25:10,700
Lately I've boned up on physics.

526
00:25:10,980 --> 00:25:13,380
It's about putting a cat
into a box, isn't it?

527
00:25:13,380 --> 00:25:15,700
And when you open it,
it's either dead or alive.

528
00:25:16,140 --> 00:25:17,780
But isn't that frivolous?

529
00:25:18,020 --> 00:25:19,820
It's just an experiment

530
00:25:19,980 --> 00:25:22,580
with a lot of constants and variables.

531
00:25:22,580 --> 00:25:23,660
In other words,

532
00:25:23,660 --> 00:25:25,940
it's a process of finding proof
and seeking confirmation.

533
00:25:26,260 --> 00:25:27,460
Is that necessary?

534
00:25:28,260 --> 00:25:30,780
What if the third possibility happens?

535
00:25:32,540 --> 00:25:34,220
That'll be like seeing a ghost.

536
00:25:34,740 --> 00:25:36,700
It'll mean physics no longer exists.

537
00:25:39,140 --> 00:25:40,660
Does Ye Wenjie believe it?

538
00:25:45,020 --> 00:25:46,420
She believes

539
00:25:47,500 --> 00:25:49,940
our physics might have ceased to exist.

540
00:25:50,820 --> 00:25:52,220
Physics

541
00:25:52,220 --> 00:25:53,780
didn't cease to exist.

542
00:25:55,140 --> 00:25:57,540
It's just the physics we know

543
00:25:57,980 --> 00:25:59,780
might be non-existent.

544
00:26:06,580 --> 00:26:08,100
Many years from now,

545
00:26:08,340 --> 00:26:10,100
history will reveal the answer.

546
00:26:10,780 --> 00:26:13,300
We might be Copernicus,

547
00:26:13,740 --> 00:26:15,580
or Bruno,

548
00:26:16,420 --> 00:26:18,300
or the Church.

549
00:26:18,780 --> 00:26:20,180
Or maybe

550
00:26:20,340 --> 00:26:21,980
we're nothing.

551
00:26:46,180 --> 00:26:48,020
Come. I'll show you something.

552
00:26:48,020 --> 00:26:49,020
Come on.

553
00:26:52,220 --> 00:26:54,060
All data are unproblematic,

554
00:26:55,140 --> 00:26:56,860
but this is impossible.

555
00:26:56,860 --> 00:26:59,140
Even the explosion of a supernova

556
00:27:00,060 --> 00:27:01,620
couldn't have done that.

557
00:27:02,220 --> 00:27:04,220
What if someone made that happen?

558
00:27:04,700 --> 00:27:06,300
That's even more impossible.

559
00:27:06,300 --> 00:27:07,860
It's such a large scale.

560
00:27:07,860 --> 00:27:09,700
It was spotted from the observatories

561
00:27:09,700 --> 00:27:11,180
in both Beijing and Urumqi.

562
00:27:12,020 --> 00:27:13,780
Do you know what that means?

563
00:27:21,020 --> 00:27:22,420
You see this?

564
00:27:29,260 --> 00:27:30,820
Do you get it now?

565
00:27:31,420 --> 00:27:34,460
I'm imposing human interference

566
00:27:34,460 --> 00:27:36,620
on your observation of this lamp.

567
00:27:36,620 --> 00:27:38,540
This is both theoretically possible

568
00:27:38,540 --> 00:27:40,220
and doable,

569
00:27:41,740 --> 00:27:44,420
but what's a cosmic flicker?

570
00:27:44,780 --> 00:27:46,660
The observation signals received

571
00:27:46,660 --> 00:27:47,980
by Beijing and Urumqi observatories

572
00:27:47,980 --> 00:27:50,300
are from three observation satellites.

573
00:27:50,740 --> 00:27:52,500
Do you know what that means?

574
00:27:52,500 --> 00:27:53,500
What does it mean?

575
00:27:53,620 --> 00:27:55,700
Let's say this is our earth.

576
00:27:55,700 --> 00:27:57,660
These three are observation satellites.

577
00:27:57,660 --> 00:27:59,380
To make the whole universe flicker

578
00:27:59,380 --> 00:28:01,500
with human interference,

579
00:28:01,500 --> 00:28:02,420
theoretically,

580
00:28:02,420 --> 00:28:03,620
you need to build

581
00:28:03,620 --> 00:28:05,420
a gigantic screen at least

582
00:28:05,420 --> 00:28:08,380
300,000 kilometers wide in a place

583
00:28:08,380 --> 00:28:09,500
150,000 kilometers away

584
00:28:09,500 --> 00:28:10,900
from the earth.

585
00:28:12,060 --> 00:28:14,020
Is there science behind your theory?

586
00:28:15,460 --> 00:28:16,860
Science?

587
00:28:18,700 --> 00:28:20,940
You want to talk about science with me?

588
00:28:21,060 --> 00:28:22,300
Considering this scale,

589
00:28:22,300 --> 00:28:24,540
not only Batman and Iron Man
can't make it happen,

590
00:28:24,540 --> 00:28:26,940
but even Superman can't do it.

591
00:28:27,100 --> 00:28:28,540
In other words,

592
00:28:28,540 --> 00:28:30,660
it's impossible even in sci-fi.

593
00:28:31,140 --> 00:28:32,660
Then what can make it happen?

594
00:28:39,300 --> 00:28:40,740
Mythology.

595
00:28:41,100 --> 00:28:42,900
Zeus should be able to swing it.

596
00:28:45,100 --> 00:28:47,220
It was really not my doing.

597
00:28:50,180 --> 00:28:52,140
I'm a cop.

598
00:28:52,140 --> 00:28:53,780
I had dealings with a lot of criminals.

599
00:28:53,780 --> 00:28:54,860
Criminals

600
00:28:54,980 --> 00:28:56,860
experienced things
others didn't experience,

601
00:28:56,860 --> 00:28:58,660
so sometimes their mindset

602
00:28:58,660 --> 00:29:00,060
is different as well.

603
00:29:00,060 --> 00:29:02,300
Did Professor Ye
experience anything unusual?

604
00:29:02,300 --> 00:29:04,020
That's hard to say.

605
00:29:04,020 --> 00:29:06,100
She lived in that era.

606
00:29:06,100 --> 00:29:08,100
She might've been affected.

607
00:29:10,340 --> 00:29:12,020
By the way, the constant

608
00:29:12,020 --> 00:29:13,940
and variable thing
you talked about a moment ago.

609
00:29:13,940 --> 00:29:15,660
The guy surnamed Schro.

610
00:29:15,660 --> 00:29:17,540
Did he have to pick a cat?

611
00:29:17,540 --> 00:29:19,220
Could it not be a rabbit,

612
00:29:19,220 --> 00:29:21,660
or a squirrel or anything like that?

613
00:29:24,940 --> 00:29:26,580
What is this place?

614
00:29:26,860 --> 00:29:28,260
Our office.

615
00:29:28,380 --> 00:29:29,340
Roomy, huh?

616
00:29:29,340 --> 00:29:30,620
Come on. Come on.

617
00:29:31,100 --> 00:29:32,140
Take a look.

618
00:29:33,660 --> 00:29:35,100
Spotlessly clean.

619
00:29:35,860 --> 00:29:36,740
I brought you here

620
00:29:36,740 --> 00:29:38,380
to let you take a closer look

621
00:29:38,380 --> 00:29:40,620
and do some research
into Ye Wenjie's file.

622
00:29:40,620 --> 00:29:41,260
Alright.

623
00:29:41,260 --> 00:29:42,420
Where's Professor Ye's file?

624
00:29:42,420 --> 00:29:43,220
Over there.

625
00:29:43,220 --> 00:29:45,260
Under the picture
of Houyi Shooting Down The Suns.

626
00:29:45,260 --> 00:29:46,780
Below the first sun.

627
00:29:47,220 --> 00:29:48,900
Everything here is orderly.

628
00:29:50,220 --> 00:29:51,460
You found it, right?

629
00:29:51,740 --> 00:29:52,820
Yeah.

630
00:29:54,540 --> 00:29:56,780
I'll fill you in while you read those.

631
00:29:56,780 --> 00:29:57,820
Ye Wenjie's father

632
00:29:57,820 --> 00:29:59,340
was a great scientist,

633
00:29:59,740 --> 00:30:01,660
a counter-revolutionary one.

634
00:30:02,380 --> 00:30:04,460
Now he's rehabilitated, of course.

635
00:30:05,860 --> 00:30:07,860
Do you know who ratted on him?

636
00:30:08,500 --> 00:30:09,940
His own daughter.

637
00:30:11,060 --> 00:30:12,140
Professor Ye?

638
00:30:12,140 --> 00:30:13,100
No.

639
00:30:13,220 --> 00:30:14,860
Ye Wenjie's little sister.

640
00:30:14,860 --> 00:30:16,380
Her name's Ye Wenxue.

641
00:30:17,980 --> 00:30:19,580
And it gets better than that.

642
00:30:20,340 --> 00:30:24,260
Do you know
who delivered the decisive blow to him?

643
00:30:24,980 --> 00:30:26,420
His wife.

644
00:30:26,420 --> 00:30:27,740
Shao Lin.

645
00:30:28,300 --> 00:30:29,860
Uh, not Shaolin Monastery.

646
00:30:29,860 --> 00:30:31,660
Her surname was Shao.
Her given name was Lin.

647
00:30:32,780 --> 00:30:34,180
It's all in here.

648
00:30:36,660 --> 00:30:37,820
I wonder

649
00:30:37,820 --> 00:30:40,900
what Ye Wenjie felt at that time.

650
00:30:41,820 --> 00:30:44,020
Ye Wenjie's little sister, Ye Wenxue,

651
00:30:44,020 --> 00:30:46,100
personally had the leader
of the campaign

652
00:30:46,100 --> 00:30:47,820
take her father away

653
00:30:47,820 --> 00:30:50,100
for interrogation about the ideology

654
00:30:50,100 --> 00:30:51,500
embodied in his treatise.

655
00:30:51,500 --> 00:30:53,340
In the key phase of the interrogation,

656
00:30:53,460 --> 00:30:56,300
Ye Zhetai's wife, Shao Lin,
showed up as well,

657
00:30:56,300 --> 00:30:57,980
Together with Ye Wenxue,

658
00:30:57,980 --> 00:31:00,260
they distanced themselves
from Ye Zhetai,

659
00:31:00,380 --> 00:31:03,660
which was a terrible blow to him.

660
00:31:27,500 --> 00:31:29,780
Didn't Mother say

661
00:31:31,100 --> 00:31:34,580
that Grandfather and Einstein
were close friends?

662
00:31:35,860 --> 00:31:38,620
That they used to
discuss science together?

663
00:31:40,980 --> 00:31:43,180
But why are they

664
00:31:45,060 --> 00:31:47,980
beginning to criticize Einstein?

665
00:31:49,740 --> 00:31:51,660
Shao Lin's father

666
00:31:53,540 --> 00:31:56,660
did cross paths with Einstein.

667
00:31:59,820 --> 00:32:01,860
In 1922,

668
00:32:02,540 --> 00:32:04,100
on Nanjing Road

669
00:32:05,900 --> 00:32:07,380
of Shanghai.

670
00:32:08,860 --> 00:32:10,940
They were walking along the road.

671
00:32:10,940 --> 00:32:12,340
Einstein

672
00:32:12,340 --> 00:32:15,820
suddenly asked a young boy
smashing stones at the roadside

673
00:32:15,820 --> 00:32:18,100
how much he earned in a day.

674
00:32:18,100 --> 00:32:19,980
He said five cents.

675
00:32:20,140 --> 00:32:24,340
That was the only time he conversed

676
00:32:24,660 --> 00:32:27,420
with the master who changed the world.

677
00:32:29,820 --> 00:32:32,020
No physics.

678
00:32:33,220 --> 00:32:35,660
No theory of relativity.

679
00:32:36,980 --> 00:32:39,260
Only the hard truth.

680
00:32:41,980 --> 00:32:43,980
Lin is better than me.

681
00:32:44,180 --> 00:32:47,380
She proved all scientific achievements

682
00:32:49,380 --> 00:32:53,420
were the fruits of the people's wisdom.

683
00:32:55,460 --> 00:32:58,980
Those academic authorities
of the bourgeoisie

684
00:33:00,380 --> 00:33:03,700
just stole the fruits.

685
00:33:06,180 --> 00:33:08,420
There are so many terms in physics.

686
00:33:08,980 --> 00:33:10,580
Will changing the names

687
00:33:10,780 --> 00:33:12,420
be enough?

688
00:33:15,340 --> 00:33:17,900
Any brilliant idea

689
00:33:18,780 --> 00:33:21,020
will fall apart eventually.

690
00:33:22,380 --> 00:33:24,660
The gravity of reality

691
00:33:26,940 --> 00:33:28,700
is just too strong.

692
00:34:51,780 --> 00:34:53,140
It never crossed my mind

693
00:34:53,140 --> 00:34:55,340
that Professor Ye had been through
something like that.

694
00:34:55,340 --> 00:34:57,180
Now I can understand

695
00:34:57,620 --> 00:34:59,620
why she took Yang Dong's death

696
00:34:59,620 --> 00:35:01,300
so calmly.

697
00:35:02,580 --> 00:35:04,540
But I find it confusing.

698
00:35:06,540 --> 00:35:09,580
By rights, those who have

699
00:35:09,580 --> 00:35:11,020
lost a loved one

700
00:35:11,020 --> 00:35:13,820
will definitely
cherish familial bonding even more,

701
00:35:14,100 --> 00:35:15,980
but Professor Ye
doesn't seem to be like that.

702
00:35:15,980 --> 00:35:17,180
It strikes me

703
00:35:17,180 --> 00:35:19,420
that the reason her grief was dissolved

704
00:35:19,580 --> 00:35:21,660
is probably not so simple.

705
00:35:22,580 --> 00:35:23,860
Professor Ye's father

706
00:35:23,860 --> 00:35:27,020
was unable to continue his research
because of the era.

707
00:35:27,020 --> 00:35:28,260
Professor Ye's daughter,

708
00:35:28,260 --> 00:35:29,620
since physics had ceased to exist,

709
00:35:29,620 --> 00:35:31,500
couldn't continue her research either.

710
00:35:32,340 --> 00:35:33,580
Maybe in Professor Ye's eyes,

711
00:35:33,580 --> 00:35:35,980
death was a relief to them.

712
00:35:36,380 --> 00:35:38,140
We never experienced
anything like that,

713
00:35:38,140 --> 00:35:39,820
so maybe we can't understand it.

714
00:35:41,860 --> 00:35:42,820
No.

715
00:35:44,060 --> 00:35:46,860
Professor Ye didn't have many dealings
with Shen Yufei,

716
00:35:47,780 --> 00:35:49,900
but judging from what she said to you,

717
00:35:50,100 --> 00:35:52,700
she's not against the theories
of the Frontiers of Science.

718
00:35:52,700 --> 00:35:53,900
Professor Ye's behavior is becoming

719
00:35:53,900 --> 00:35:56,060
an increasingly greater mystery to me.

720
00:35:58,580 --> 00:36:00,220
What did she say to you again?

721
00:36:00,380 --> 00:36:01,900
Did she say this was not

722
00:36:02,060 --> 00:36:04,820
the first time the scientific community
had been in panic?

723
00:36:05,500 --> 00:36:06,460
Yeah.

724
00:36:06,980 --> 00:36:09,020
In human history,

725
00:36:09,020 --> 00:36:10,660
science caused panic

726
00:36:12,020 --> 00:36:13,740
many times.

727
00:36:14,180 --> 00:36:16,620
We might be Copernicus,

728
00:36:17,180 --> 00:36:18,860
or Bruno,

729
00:36:19,540 --> 00:36:21,260
or the Church.

730
00:36:21,980 --> 00:36:23,380
Or maybe

731
00:36:23,380 --> 00:36:25,140
we're nothing.

732
00:36:28,860 --> 00:36:31,260
Was she asking you to become
someone like Copernicus?

733
00:36:31,580 --> 00:36:33,500
Even if I wanted to do that,

734
00:36:33,500 --> 00:36:35,380
aren't I still your plant?

735
00:36:36,380 --> 00:36:38,260
Well, go ahead and become Copernicus.

736
00:36:38,260 --> 00:36:39,740
With me protecting you,

737
00:36:39,740 --> 00:36:41,700
I promise you won't get burned alive.

738
00:36:42,820 --> 00:36:43,900
Get burned alive?

739
00:36:44,540 --> 00:36:45,940
That guy's name's Bruno.

740
00:36:48,460 --> 00:36:49,660
What about Co-Copernicus?

741
00:36:49,660 --> 00:36:50,620
He died of natural causes.

742
00:36:50,620 --> 00:36:51,660
Well, with me protecting you,

743
00:36:51,660 --> 00:36:53,020
I promise you'll...

744
00:36:53,580 --> 00:36:54,780
be Copernicus.

745
00:36:55,420 --> 00:36:56,780
Thank you.
