Mom.

I've learned how to make your favorite stir-fried crab noodles.

I tried making them the other day.

They were delicious.

Please wake up.

I'll make them for you.

- Dr. Chen. - The condition...

remains the same, right?

An Lan. We can't rush this.

I know your current research is somewhat related to your mother's condition.

I've read many of your papers.

But from my clinical experience,

miracles don't happen that easily.

The results of genetic research might take generations to achieve.

You need to face reality.

I understand.

The 24-hour EEG monitoring is really unnecessary in my opinion.

Let's change it to once every two weeks.

That would be easier on your mother as well.

I hope you can accept the fact that

she has long since lost all higher brain function.

Give me more time.

This is what my mother would want, too.

I know that.

All right then.

[Episode 7]

[Noon, December 12, 2024] [Third Loop]

After such a major incident, why not cancel the speech?

There are some things that, as long as I'm still alive, must go on.

An executive of a company seeking to go public was killed,

almost all the potential investors pulled out overnight,

and the rest are all just waiting to see what happens.

But if, at a time like this, I can still stand on the stage,

if I can still crack a joke,

then it shows that Moma hasn't fallen yet.

So, I have no choice... I have to carry on as usual.

I know it's really hard on you, Qi.

Getting paid a policeman's salary,

yet dragged into this deadly business with me.

Have you considered that all this chaos

might be a trap set by Squid to kill you,

and insisting on giving the speech might implicate many innocent lives?

Then what should I do?

Should I just not come to the company,

hide at home, and just let Moma Group collapse?

Is that what you suggest?

What about all those Moma employees?

Aren't they innocent too?

Squid's goal is to stop my genetic research.

Do you know what the ultimate success of RAN technology would mean?

It would mean we can save more lives!

His state is completely different from the previous loops.

Could it be because of the shock this morning?

I'm sorry.

My emotions were a bit...

A bit... A bit off just now.

Once this matter...

An Lan.

Tang Xin.

[999 Cold & Flu Relief]

Are you feeling unwell?

I have a slight cough.

No worries. I'll be fine after some medicine.

Congratulations, An Lan.

No one is more suitable than you for the position of Assistant to the Chief Scientist.

Thank you.

How is the progress on the MR253 experiment?

It's going very well.

Thanks for your suggestion.

It was indeed the humidity that affected the results of data set 2.

Is everything fixed now?

Yes, it is.

Tang Xin.

If there's anything I can help you with, make sure to let me know.

What are you wearing to the Zhaos' wedding tonight?

I have no options.

I only have one evening gown at home.

I don't have many either.

My father rarely took me to events like this.

He said it's a waste of time.

Dress up nicely tonight.

Let everyone see that the Tang family's little girl is all grown up now.

I'll get back to work now.

- See you later. - Okay, An Lan.

Dr. An.

[Restricted Area - B1]

Have you ever dreamed about your own death?

- I have. - I have, too.

Me, too.

- So, how did you die? - Sometimes I got shot.

Other times, I died in explosions.

I also died in explosions.

Me too, in explosions.

Looks like we're all afraid of dying.

Don't you think Boss isn't afraid of death?

- That's true. - I find him very strange.

- How so? - Why do you say that?

Don't you think he keeps giving bizarre orders?

- Like what? - Like early this morning,

he suddenly called an emergency meeting.

During recent investigations,

I've identified a highly suspicious individual named Ye Kun.

So, Pei Shan, I need you to pull his records.

There were three Ye Kuns, but he identified the right one immediately.

Which one?

This man right here. That's him.

And he even pulled out a photo of Ye Kun directly from his pocket.

Do whatever it takes to find this person today.

How did he do that? Does he have a printer in his pocket?

Or can he plug wires into the back of his head?

Doesn't that happen all the time?

And that Fortune Bank robbery case you're investigating.

He knew too many details about it, as if he planned it himself.

Is it possible that Boss can predict the future

and change the outcome through his dreams?

No way.

I think you're right.

[Permission Denied]

[Permission Upgraded]

- Hello? - Hello, Dr. An.

We have upgraded your information access permissions.

When you have time, you can log in and try it out.

- Okay, thanks. - You're welcome.

[Permission Modified]

[Inpatient Department] [Querying...]

[No Data]

What about Ye Kun?

Does he have that ability?

I think Ye Kun...

What ability?

- Boss! - Have a seat.

- Boss! Boss. - Come on, sit down.

- Boss. - Not inviting me to dinner is bad enough.

Now, you even hit me?

I didn't mean that.

You walk so quietly.

You almost scared me to death.

Tell me.

What ability does Ye Kun have?

Through dreams, he can predict the future.

That's not accurate enough.

He has a a supernatural power.

He can enter a time loop.

That's nonsense.

I told you.

No one would believe it.

- Boss? - Pei Shan.

Help me look up someone named You Yu Xiang.

He's a professor at Ivy Bay University.

- I need details. - Got it.

Look.

Now, it's You Yu Xiang.

But every time he investigates someone,

there's always something off with them.

It's so weird.

Fine, I'll just look up whatever he asks for.

No matter what,

we need to stay united and trust Ding Qi, okay?

All right. It's about time.

The lecture at Ivy Bay University is about to start.

Let's move, everyone.

Thank you, Boss.

- Thank you, Boss. - Don't touch me.

Take it.

Hello. Could you help me access the experimental area?

- The experimental area? - Yes.

- May I ask who you're looking for? - Dr. An Lan.

Dr. An Lan...

I don't have permission for that.

Please wait a moment.

I'll make a call to ask about it.

Assistant Ding, I'll take you there.

Thank you.

Officer Ding, I won't go in.

Walk to the end of the corridor, turn right,

and you'll find Dr. An.

Okay. [Restricted Area - A1]

Thanks.

Qi?

Why are you here?

I'm here to see you.

Outsiders are not allowed in here.

Let's go and talk outside.

As the CEO's assistant, can't I look around?

How am I an outsider?

Do you want me to get in trouble?

What secrets are you hiding in this lab?

Besides, I wouldn't understand anything anyway.

Why be so guarded against me?

That's exactly the point.

Everything here is a trade secret.

All right, all right.

Go ahead.

What do you need me for?

Just need a brief statement.

Early this morning, what were you doing?

Early this morning?

I was in the lab.

Working till that hour?

A special drug is in the animal testing phase.

I encountered some problems.

- What problems? - Some data suddenly showed changes.

I can't tell you the details.

What happened?

It's about awakening PVS patients, isn't it?

So, when did you leave the lab?

At 2:15.

- And then? - I went to see my mother.

Why did you suddenly go there?

Because I discovered something unexpected.

Something...

I'd long awaited.

[RAN Experimental Group - RY2977]

It has regained mobility.

My mother is about to wake up.

My medicine is working.

Dr. An, why are you here?

My mother is about to wake up.

- Dr. Chen. - Mom.

Mom.

Dr. Chen, my mother's EEG changed an hour ago,

but the change disappeared.

Did you notice anything before?

What changes?

We didn't notice anything.

An Lan, could you be mistaken?

I can't be.

Dr. Chen, is it possible that her brain has awakened

but her body hasn't?

Have you encountered such cases before?

Five years ago, I did have such a patient.

Do you remember?

I do.

He was in great pain.

His consciousness was clear,

but his body was rigid,

unable to move.

I'm sure I can find a way to awaken her body, too.

What way?

I can't tell you about that yet.

Go back now.

I have other things to do.

Maybe you should take a break.

You haven't slept since yesterday.

There's no time to rest.

I need to go now.

- Where to? - Ivy Bay University.

You're going there, too?

The university invited me.

They probably learned about my appointment.

Who told them?

No idea.

But does it matter?

Since I accepted this position,

I have to take on responsibilities I don't particularly enjoy.

What's wrong?

Will there be danger?

I've got everything covered.

I'll go back and get ready.

An Lan has been drawn into more and more incidents.

What does Squid want?

Is Ye Kun just his pawn?

Hello, Qi. [Afternoon, December 12, 2024; Third Loop]

He refuses to confess.

Come back quickly.

So many of us witnessed it.

He's just being obstinate.

Wait for me. I'll be right there.

Okay.

Officer Ding.

The Chinese American Maggie you asked us to escort has cleared customs.

She's just been in a hurry the whole way.

Nothing unusual detected.

Got it.

[Recombinatorial Antisense Nucleotherapy]

[Ivy Bay Uni. Stick to plan: Kai- Mo Yuan Zhi & An Lan; Gu Song-perimeter]

Fang Lu, find a professor named You Yu Xiang.

Use whatever means necessary, but don't let him leave his office.

If he does anything suspicious, notify me immediately.

Got it.

Excuse me, are you Professor You Yu Xiang?

Yes, I am.

What's the matter?

We received a report claiming that highly toxic substances

may have leaked from your office.

Please cooperate with our investigation.

Dr. An! Dr. An!

Long time no see, Principal.

Principal, we meet again.

- Dr. Mo. - Thank you. Thank you.

Let's go. Everything's ready.

What's the point of denying it?

Your hands are covered with smoke bomb residue.

Fine.

Even if you don't confess,

we can still charge you with the crime.

Mr. Mo.

How do you feel?

I'm fine.

Don't worry.

It's just my old condition acting up.

But seriously, An Lan.

From now on,

I really need you to stand by my side and support me.

From now on, in Moma, you will be my right-hand person.

Before we came out,

I had officially signed your appointment.

No matter what objections or arguments

that guy Han Yu Fei has at the board meeting,

he's insignificant.

As long as I believe in you,

that's the final decision.

Of course, you need to believe in me, too.

Hello, professors.

Hello, students.

I'm your student and alumnus, Mo Yuan Zhi.

- You go out first. - Okay.

He's all yours now.

Who ordered you to kill Mo Yuan Zhi?

On October 25 and November 26th, where were you?

- I forgot. - You forgot?

Then who's this?

You also killed Moma executives, Han Song and Tang Shao Rong.

Why did you kill them?

Who ordered you to kill them?

I didn't do it. I was just passing by.

Passing by?

You knew exactly when the billboard would fall,

and you knew exactly what would happen next.

But I know it wasn't your own plan.

Who's behind this?

What are you looking at?

Waiting for the time?

Waiting for 12 o'clock?

How do you know about 12 o'clock?

Who told you?

What did they tell you?

That once it passes 12 o'clock,

everything would start over?

Or that after 12 o'clock, you'd enter the loop?

Loop?

What loop?

Someone must think that the notion of going against fate sounds sacrilegious.

It doesn't matter.

Let my team and me do this sacrilegious deed.

We'll take the blame.

I just hope that when we succeed,

all of us can experience...

Why are you here?

Didn't Boss ask you to watch that person?

That person is fine.

Wang Hao Xin is watching him.

- I'm here to support you. - If this is considered a sacrilege,

then I, Mo Yuan Zhi, am sacrilegious.

- So what? - Bravo!

Bravo!

Nice!

[Women, Men]

Are you done?

Just a minute.

He didn't even tell you about the loop?

For the first two cases, he might've helped you get away.

But what about today?

How can he help when you're caught red-handed?

Aren't you curious why he has the ability to predict the future?

Aren't you curious what he's hiding from you?

Is there any point in taking the blame for him?

I know exactly what you did!

I also know exactly how you committed the crimes.

Because he and I are alike.

You and him...

are alike?

Who is he?

What about now?

You Yu Xiang?

You Yu Xiang?

You Yu Xiang!

Fang Lu, You Yu Xiang is gone.

Be careful!

Boss, You Yu Xiang is gone.

Boss.

About You Yu Xiang, the professor you asked me to look up this morning,

I found something unusual.

Go ahead.

He's dying.

What?

A month ago,

he was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor,

already in its final stage.

At that time, the doctors said

he had two months to live,

which means he only has one month left now.

A life for a life.

Is it worth it?

Where would a man who isn't afraid of death go?

Tang Xin.

Pretending not to see me?

Mr. Han.

Mr. Han?

So formal?

Talk properly.

Yu Fei.

Why would I pretend not to know you?

Right.

You used to come to our house often when we were kids.

Remember?

Our families used to get together all the time.

And now, in the blink of an eye...

We've both lost our fathers.

Tang Xin.

Your father and mine were lifelong best friends.

Even though our generation hasn't had much contact,

now that we're both at Moma Group,

we should stand together.

There are many things you don't understand.

During this morning's voting...

Fang Lu, have you found You Yu Xiang?

Not yet. We'll keep looking.

I'll go protect Mo Yuan Zhi.

Next, I'd like to introduce a friend to you.

She's also an outstanding alumnus of Ivy Bay University, and my partner.

Please give a warm welcome to

the Assistant to the Chief Scientist of Moma Biotechnology,

Dr. An Lan.

Hello everyone, I'm An Lan.

I'm honored to be here to share with you

the developments in genetic technology.

Are you upset because I said you didn't understand?

I do understand.

Moma is like a scale.

Once it loses balance, everything will fall into chaos.

We all need to pick a side.

Those stuck in between never get their share.

I'll never be able to reach

the top of the core technology pyramid.

Right?

Seems someone has already talked to you.

Tell me.

Which side do you want me to take?

Mo Yuan Zhi's side.

I'm serious.

You need to side with the tech faction.

The technology pyramid you just mentioned,

you don't need to be at the top.

You just need an access card to the base of the pyramid.

Thank you, everyone. I'm An Lan.

Thank you, Dr. An Lan, for your excellent speech.

Please welcome back Dr. Mo Yuan Zhi.

Now, it's time for the Q&A.

If you have any questions for your senior,

feel free to speak up.

That male student over there.

Hello, Dr. Mo.

As far as I know, RAN technology has existed for less than 10 years.

By medical industry standards,

it hasn't been tested for a sufficient period of time.

How can we be sure of its safety?

He asked a different question than in the last loop.

As RAN technology develops,

will there be more and more diseases that can be cured through it?

In that case, will traditional pharmaceutical factories go bust?

Thank you for your astute question.

However, efficacy and side effects have always been contradictory.

This has also been a topic of endless research

and debate in the medical field for centuries.

Whether RAN technology has safety risks

cannot be explained in just a few words.

But I can assure you that my team and I have used

the world's most advanced technical methods

and the most rigorous testing standards

to verify the safety of RAN technology.

So far, there have been no safety issues.

Although Moma Biotechnology hasn't detected any safety risks,

over the past two years,

many experts have pointed out RAN's technical flaws.

But their statements have all been suppressed.

Isn't that a sign that Moma has something to hide?

Young man, you're giving us too much credit.

First of all, Moma has never suppressed any expert or statement.

We don't have that capability.

Secondly, those so-called "statements"

seem to be just your own imagination.

Do you have any facts to support that?

Or perhaps you're asking such questions just to show off?

Are you suggesting that as long as no one dies, it's safe?

Your question is just like asking which came first, the chicken or the egg.

Then can you talk about the academic disagreements

between you and your mentor back then?

You're being a bit unreasonable, young man. But it's fine.

You have the right to speak freely.

But I believe if you want to prove that RAN technology is unsafe,

please provide data to support your argument.

RAN has already gotten people killed, hasn't it?

Otherwise, why would your company's executives,

Han Song and Tang Shao Rong, have been killed?

Yet, you're still here joking as if nothing happened.

What are you hiding?

Everyone, please be quiet.

Students.

Be quiet.

Be quiet!

Mo Yuan Zhi.

Do you remember what this place is?

You know where I am, Mo Yuan Zhi.

What is this place?

Speak!

I'm not entirely sure, but it might be an underground laboratory.

Is that Professor You?

Professor You, what are you doing?

Are you going to hurt this girl?

If you have something to ask me,

let her go, and we can talk properly. Okay?

Talk properly?

Haven't you said enough already?

Have you had any remorse?

Say it out loud.

Where am I?

You're in an underground laboratory.

No.

This is where you destroyed evidence and killed your mentor Jiang Yu Wen.

Do you want to save this girl?

Then confess all your crimes in detail!

Professor You, what are you talking about?

What exactly are you trying to do?

Have you been having issues again...

Everyone's been saying that something's off about your brain...

but I've always had great respect for you.

Many people here today are your students.

They admire and respect you, including me.

Please don't become a murderer right in front of us.

You're the murderer!

Still acting, huh?

Don't hurt that girl!

Fine!

I'm a murderer, okay?

I'll be whatever you say I am.

Let her go. I'll come to you.

We'll go to the police station together. Is that okay?

Don't move!

Don't move!

You Yu Xiang!

Put the knife down!

You cops don't care whether the hostage lives or dies, do you?

Put your guns down.

Put them down!

Professor You.

Professor You.

I don't have any weapons on me.

They won't hurt you either.

Let's talk.

I think I've seen you before.

But I don't seem to know you.

Whatever you need, or whatever conditions you have, you can tell me.

Go investigate...

Jiang Yu Wen's disappearance case from eight years ago.

That wasn't a disappearance case. It was a murder!

And the murderer is Mo Yuan Zhi!

Professor You, I really don't understand why you're doing this.

I can't figure out how you'll benefit from destroying me.

But if you insist on doing this, that's fine.

I'll fully cooperate with you.

Let that girl go, and I'll come to you.

The police are right over there.

We can let them investigate and find out the truth.

Is that okay, Professor You?

You're such a hypocrite.

I promise you, I will definitely get to the bottom of this.

But I need you to cooperate with me and put the knife down.

I had a dream last night.

In that dream, someone asked me,

"A life for a life, is it worth it?"

When I woke up this morning,

I realized...

it's not worth it.

Killing Mo Yuan Zhi is not my goal.

My goal is...

to let the whole world know about Mo Yuan Zhi's crimes!

If Mo Yuan Zhi is guilty,

I'll definitely bring him to justice.

But I need you to cooperate with me so we can figure this out together.

This girl is innocent.

I believe you don't want to hurt your own student, either.

Professor You. Put down the knife.

Put it down.

I can't give you much.

You'll have to find the evidence yourself.

You're different from other police officers I've met.

You're different.

I beg you.

I beg you!
