[The Knockout]

[Episode 3]

[Year 2021]

Here.

Here.

This used to be Gao Qiqiang's home.

It's an old house

left by his parents.

Why is this the only building not demolished?

This area is called

Old Factory Street.

This reconstruction project

was handed to

Qiangsheng Group in 2010.

They intentionally demolished

the rest,

and kept this single building.

I heard that

around this time every year,

he would bring his employees here

for team building.

It's kind of corporate culture.

It seems that on New Year's Eve

every year, he would bring his family

here to celebrate Chinese New Year,

and make dumplings.

Especially he would bring along his daughter and son.

He told them not to forget where he came from.

He would have a meal here every year.

A meal to remember past sufferings.

If you went back to 20 years ago,

would you still deliver the reunion dinner

to Gao Qiqiang?

Of course not.

It's hard to say.

The problem is

who knew what would happen next?

I started it.

[Year 2000]

Why did you start it?

I was still hungry.

I saw he still had food.

I asked him for it, but he refused.

Then I beat him up.

Did he fight back?

No.

What happened to your eyes?

I missed,

and hit the wall.

You're fine. Three more days for you.

You both have to stay here for ten days,

and you'll be released together.

Why are you helping me?

A meal and a stall.

It's no big deal.

Loyal.

What?

Loyal.

[Loyal]

What does it say?

L-O-Y-A-L.

Loyal.

Brother, what's your name?

Gao Xin.

You were quite vigorous just now.

Where did you learn it?

I used to train in the wrestling team.

Professional.

What do you do now?

I'm a security guard.

A security guard?

How much do you earn a month?

Eight hundred.

Come work for me when you're out.

What do you think?

What do you do?

I'm in proper business.

When you're released,

I guarantee you'll live a well-off life.

The road is cemented and cleaned for you.

Luxury cars are lined up. Lads welcome you.

Gao Qiqiang.

Officer Li.

Why are you here?

I'm looking for Officer An.

He's on duty.

What's wrong?

He isn't here?

No.

Well,

I brought some fresh shrimps

from the store.

I want to give these to him.

We can't accept them. There are rules.

You...

From the store?

You're open for business again?

It's still at the same market.

It's still there.

Yes, they returned the stall

back to me.

They let you go?

Thank you and Officer An.

Since he's not here,

I'll give these to you.

You can have them.

I told you we can't accept them.

We have rules.

It's not expensive.

Anything else?

No.

You can leave if there's nothing else.

I'll tell him later.

I'd like to thank you on his behalf.

You can have them.

Off you go. Goodbye.

Bye.

[Jinghai Detention Center]

Where is your big brother?

Busy.

Where are your other brothers?

Lazy.

Where's your car?

It was forfeited.

Can you be honest with me?

I really like you.

Eagle's Nest, Eagle's Nest. This is Sparrow.

Copy that. Go ahead.

Why is he the Eagle

and am I the Sparrow?

Can you be serious?

Get to the point.

The Eagle is out of the cage.

Is there a taxi?

Get one for me.

Copy.

Can you take me to Dock Street?

Twelve yuan.

Okay.

Brother, let's go.

Move forward.

Go.

Pay me first.

Keep the change.

Let's go.

No need.

Tell me

your real name and position.

Officer.

Crazy Donkey.

You're really crazy.

I've been dealing with

the police for so many years.

I can directly spot a police officer

in the crowd.

I'm not a police officer.

You won't shed a tear until you see the coffin.

Come on.

Chop him into pieces.

Throw him into the sea.

Say it!

Okay.

My name is not Gao Xin.

I'm Zhang Xin.

My name used to be Gao Xin when I was young.

It was my dad's surname.

My dad died

before I went to the middle school.

My mother raised me while

being married to a coach from sports school.

The coach didn't like me.

He beat me every day.

Then I wanted to run away.

He caught me,

and sent me to Shenyang Sports School.

Then I dropped out of school.

I ran away.

I used to date

a girl who trained for track and field

every day.

But that girl's brother

found out about us later.

He beat me every day.

And he didn't like me either.

When I got antsy,

I stabbed her brother with a knife.

I got scared and ran away.

When I got a fake ID card,

I named myself Gao Xin again.

What did I do?

I did some manual labor and then became a security guard.

What did I do wrong?

I'm not lying.

You can check.

Where's the construction site

that you worked at?

Huamao Real Estate by Haifu Group.

Where did you work as a security guard?

Fontainebleau.

Is there a place like that?

Yes.

Are you sure?

Yes.

Ouch.

Brother, where should I cut?

You have to understand me.

I can't simply recruit

a random person,

and accidentally

get everyone in trouble.

Everyone of them

has been through this.

You want to make money, right?

There's one more thing.

Hello, are you the police?

This is Xiawan sand quarry.

There is an assault going on.

Don't move! Stay here!

Get down!

Don't move!

Don't move!

Don't move!

Brother.

Get in the car and go home!

Hurry up!

-Brother. -Boss!

Brother!

Are you okay, boss?

I'm going to kill you!

Stop!

Don't come any closer.

I'm going to kill you!

Brother, don't come any closer.

It's my fault.

Brother, I was wrong.

Please forgive me.

I didn't want to hit you.

I wanted to hit him.

If you hit my boss...

If you hit my boss, you're hitting me.

You already hit me.

What should I do?

Pay for it.

Pay!

Pay with your life!

Stop! Stop!

What are you doing?

What's this?

Move around! Shout!

Help!

He's hitting me!

Brother.

Don't commit a murder at my place.

Fine.

My brother is generous.

Get up!

When I count one, two, three,

I'll kick you.

You run down as fast as you can.

Got it?

But brother,

I can't tolerate his behavior.

I have to kick him.

One, two, three.

[Jinghai Public Security Bureau]

He's here.

Gao, here.

You're finally here.

This is my brother.

Say hi to Brother Gao.

Hello Brother Gao.

Officer An is not here.

He's on a case tonight.

He asked me to come over first.

Where is the DVD shop

you mentioned?

It's on that corner.

Don't worry.

Brother Gao will definitely settle

it for you.

Thank you, Brother Gao.

Take me there.

[Wanhong DVD]

What film are you interested in?

What do you want?

[Wanhong DVD]

What's your name?

Gao Qiqiang.

Where are you from?

I grew up here.

What are you up to?

I have a relative

who also sells DVDs and CDs.

He used to buy his goods from you.

He said you vandalized his shop,

and beat him up.

It's true.

What's wrong?

How about this?

I'll call An Changlin

and ask him come to mediate.

Who is An Changlin?

Deputy Director An, right?

You know him?

He has a nephew named An Xin,

who works in the Municipal Criminal Police Unit.

I'm an informant of

An Xin, his nephew.

Brother. Brother. Brother.

You must

remove the black string

from the back of the river shrimps.

Otherwise, they'll be too smelly.

I've never done it before.

You have to remove that?

This is my brother.

-This is Brother Hong. -This is your brother.

Brother Hong.

A flood ruined the Dragon King Temple.

What a misunderstanding, plain and simple!

-Look at this. -Nothing.

We need to teach the youngsters.

-You know? -From now on,

If I'm not home,

and your brothers come here,

he can make himself at home.

It's on my check.

-No, no, no. -On credit. On my tab.

Pay in cash.

Got it?

No problem.

Take good care of him.

Today,

I have another brother.

His name is Zhang Xin.

From now on,

as long as there's food for me,

there's food for him.

Let's get high.

Hello, sir.

Stop!

You rascal!

Stop right there!

I'm talking to you. Do you hear me?

I said stop!

Let go!

Stop running!

-Come on. -What are you doing?

Let go!

Get over here.

Let go!

Get over here.

I ask you. What are you doing?

Come on.

Yu, it's okay.

-Let's go. -What are you talking about?

What were you doing just now?

What was I doing?

You tell me.

What did I do to you?

You touched my friend.

You didn't touch me. You touched her.

There are surveillance cameras here.

It's all recorded.

You can ask for the recording.

-Okay, I'll ask for the footage. -Yu.

If you aren't embarrassed,

I feel embarrassed.

Why?

He should be embarrassed. Not you.

What are you afraid of?

Nana. Nana.

What do you want?

Are you leaving after causing trouble?

Do you know who I am?

Who are you?

I'm Camel.

I'm Sima.

I'm Sanniu.

Do you know who my brother is?

All bastards.

Haven't you been beaten before?

You still want to leave? Hand it over.

Let go of me.

What are you doing?

-Don't pick a fight! -Give it to me!

Don't get violent!

Give it to me!

-Don't pick a fight! -Put it down.

Do you hear me?

Give it to me!

Let go!

Give it to me!

Let go! Do you hear me?

What is wrong with you?

But...

I confess.

Don't move!

I'm on your side.

Who is she?

My girlfriend.

But...

What are you talking about?

Stop talking.

Are these your friends?

Stop talking.

Do you know what they did?

Stop talking.

What do you mean?

You should be staying at the police station.

Why did you come out?

Yes, I was released

from the police station.

Can't I hang out here?

But why didn't you tell me that

you were released?

Why should I?

I can pick you up.

I don't need you to pick me up.

Who asked you to come out?

Did you tell me when you came out?

I was wrong. I was wrong.

What did you do wrong?

Do you think it's helpful to simply say you're wrong?

I was wrong. I was wrong.

How dare you scold me now?

How dare you call me your girlfriend?

How could you say such nonsense

without thinking?

What should I say?

Say that I'm your sister,

your aunt, your grandma.

You could've said anything.

You had to say I was your girlfriend or what?

I just saved you.

Isn't it what you're supposed to do?

Don't be so arrogant.

Why is your head tilted to one side?

My neck is sprained.

I'll treat it for you.

Do you feel better?

Is this okay?

Is it better now?

Do you feel better?

Can't you stop hugging me?

Can you?

Brother Xin.

These are her things.

Who are they?

They...

probably

are all murderers.

So thrilling.

Are you scared?

Don't forget who my dad is.

What's the big deal?

Should I tell your father

that you almost

ruined my plan tonight?

Is he gone?

What are you looking at?

There's something wrong with you.

Your heartbeat...

Brother Donkey.

Yes.

A flood ruined the Dragon King Temple.

What a misunderstanding, plain and simple!

Yes, as for this matter,

the woman must go away.

I just took care of her.

I slapped her in the face,

and kicked her

on the butt.

Are you done?

I also aimed at her waist.

Got it. I'll be right back.

Let's get wasted.

What happened to your sprained neck?

The other side.

You scared the hell out of me.

Where did you go in the middle of the night?

How many times

have I told you?

Don't sneak into my room

by yourself, okay?

I'm a grown girl.

I also have my privacy.

Come out with me.

You scared me.

Sit down.

Go ahead.

You're on holiday. You've been back for half a month.

You do the math.

How many nights

have you been at home

to spend time with your mom?

You're going to finish grad school soon.

What have you been up to?

Do you think it's easy to find a job?

I'm talking to you.

I'm talking to you.

Are you listening?

No, I'm going to bed.

Camel said your girlfriend

is pretty.

Where is she? Ask her to join us.

Just average. Not presentable.

How did you get together?

Tell me.

I was a security guard.

She lived in our apartment complex.

She often asked me to move things for her.

By constantly doing her a favor,

I got to know her.

You got her into bed, right?

You must got some tactics.

She

had an ex-boyfriend

who always harassed her.

How could I tolerate his behaviour?

I beat him a few times.

Last time at the detention center,

was it because of her?

Actually yes.

I beat him quite severely.

You're obsessed with her.

Don't tell her

about our business.

Got it.

When you become rich,

you can choose any woman you like.

Camel.

Get over here.

Buy a gold ring and a pair of gold earrings

tomorrow and apologize to his girl.

Brother,

you've been jailed for so long.

We don't have any money now.

When will you take us to the mountain to make money?

What mountain?

I'll show you later to broaden your horizon.

Brother,

who is the person in charge here?

Is the person in charge here?

You're all silent.

We're the police.

You're obstructing justice if you stop me.

Don't wait until I arrest you.

Move!

Move!

Back off!

Move!

What's going on?

Hello, Mr. Bai.

Mr. Bai.

What is it?

Hello.

We're from the Jinghai Public Security Bureau.

We want to ask you about something.

We don't need to burden the Municipal

Public Security Bureau with Xiawan's issue.

You're Bai Jiangbo. Mr. Bai, right?

There was a serious criminal case

in Jinghai yesterday.

We suspect that

it's related to the robbery in your sand quarry.

About what happened last night,

I've talked to Xiawan Bureau's Chief Yuan,

Yuan Dong,

and cleared it up.

Ask him if you need to know anything.

You've suffered losses.

Don't you want to find out the truth as soon as possible?

We're helping you.

Does it matter if I want to?

Who were present

during the robbery?

They are in the hospital now.

You can go there and ask them.

Wait.

Here's the thing.

If you remember anything,

please contact us.

This is my number.

Excuse me.

[Jinghai Hospital]

Boss, five rice noodle rolls.

-For takeaway. -Okay. Have a seat.

Brother, is this seat taken?

Crazy Donkey is okay.

Five iron sand bullets were removed from his left shoulder.

What about you?

I'm totally fine.

Can't you talk properly if you're fine?

I don't want to expose myself.

We visited the sand quarries in Xiawan

in the morning.

The sand quarry's boss was very arrogant.

It is said that he has some connections.

It is likely that the gunman

was sent by him.

So it's gang violence.

As far as we know,

since 1998,

several robberies and looting have happened

at his sand quarries in Xiawan.

There were injuries too,

but they never reported to the police.

If it weren't for someone

at the construction site who reported the case,

we wouldn't even intervene and investigate it.

Oh no.

It's getting serious.

-It was a just murder case. -Bye.

Now you say

there's a prostitution ring case involved.

Now that I get involved,

a Xiawan gang case

came up.

Crazy Donkey has a strong backing.

Don't worry.

I will definitely find out

the person behind Crazy Donkey.

It's okay.

Rome was not built in a day.

Don't be greedy and aggressive.

Boss, is it done?

Yes. Here.

There is nothing difficult in this world,

if you put your heart into it.

Here are five rice noodle rolls.

Okay, take care.

Time to eat.

Let's eat.

Here's the food.

Are rice noodle rolls okay?

Sure.

This is for our brother.

Give me one.

Who needs chopsticks?

I need a pair.

Take this.

When are you going to take revenge?

What revenge?

You got hurt like this.

Don't you want revenge?

The shooter was just a hound.

You have to find the owner for revenge.

I meant taking revenge on the owner.

Then who is the owner?

The sand quarry's boss?

Look at you.

You're always like this.

When I ask you something,

you become so mysterious.

Who is your boss?

Look at you.

You're risking your life for them.

And you got hurt like this.

But none of them

showed up

to visit you.

What is this all about?

Brother,

you've saved me twice since then.

Don't mention it.

Let me tell you something.

If you want to be rich,

just shut up and stop asking.

Fine, I'll shut up.

I won't say anything from now on.

I'll stay silent.

I have only one question.

When are we going up the mountain?

What mountain?

When did I say that?

You said it last night.

Camel.

When did I say that?

Never.

You two.

Have I ever said that?

No.

I said it.

[Feng Dazhuang (Organizer) nickname Crazy Donkey]

There are seven core members in total

of the criminal group

led by Feng Dazhuang.

They are responsible for organizing

and arranging people for prostitution.

His nickname is Camel.

There's more in their gang business.

Many who participated in

the looting of the Xiawan sand quarry

were idlers

from other areas.

The mastermind behind Feng Dazhuang

is still unknown.

You really found a lot.

But An Xin

hasn't been fully accepted or trusted

by the organization.

So the information is limited.

Have you got the evidence

of Huang Cuicui's murder?

Not yet.

How is An Xin?

He's still the same,

full of energy.

Make sure he's safe.

Come out.

I should have hidden

the suitcase.

Are you out of your mind?

You haven't been able to hide yourself since you were young.

I can find you anywhere.

Why is there always a loophole?

Sheng,

why do I feel

you've just been in school for a month

before you came back?

Brother.

I'm in the last semester of my senior year.

I'm going to start my internship soon.

The teachers really wanted us

to get out early.

I can come back

after doing some simple paperwork.

Where did the school

send you for your internship?

What era is it now?

You have to apply to the internship yourself.

The school didn't do it for you?

No, they didn't.

You have to look for an internship job yourself?

Where are you planning to find one?

I want to

come back and join you.

Are you crazy?

I want to come back and help you.

Help me sell fish?

I

made a bold decision.

I want to come back

to open a shop with you.

I want to sell this with you.

This is called Xiaolingtong.

Go back to university now!

-Go back! -If I go back to school,

I have nothing to study. What are you doing?

-Don't touch my luggage. -Go!

-Go back to school! -Brother.

Let go of me first. Don't...

-Hurry! -Don't hit me.

Go back!

But brother...

Brother.

I'm about to graduate from university.

I don't care how old you are.

I'm the one in this family...

You're just a kid!

with the highest degree.

-Please listen to me for once! -So what?

Go back!

Gao Qiqiang, let me ask you.

Am I going to live here

after graduating from university?

If you don't live here,

where will you live?

Fine.

After you graduate from university,

if you find a proper job,

and make money,

you will definitely settle in the provincial capital,

and buy a house there.

Why would you come back?

Even you dislike this place.

Even you don't want me

to live here.

Then you can stay in

your rotten fish stall

for the rest of your life.

Look at this factory courtyard.

Those who are capable have all left.

Yes.

Those who are capable have all left.

Who would stay here if they were capable?

You are capable.

You can leave if you are capable.

Leave.

In fact, in my opinion,

you are the most capable,

and most competent person in the world.

You never liked fishy smell since you were a kid.

But to raise me and Lan,

you have been

in that rotten fish stall

for over a decade.

You always got that fishy smell now.

I brought a solution back.

I want you

to show your ability

and competence

to the greatest extent.

You can't push me away

time and time again.

Brother.

Show what competence?

Am I supposed to sell

that Xiaodingdang with you?

It's not Xiaodingdang.

It's Xiaolingtong.

Brother. Fine.

Look.

This is called Xiaolingtong.

You really think I don't understand?

I got a phone too.

Aren't they the same?

Hold it.

Listen to me.

From now on,

if I ever call you again,

use this phone to answer.

It's free.

Is it illegal?

No, it's legit.

What about making a call?

It costs less than

half of the original price.

It's very cheap.

If you say so,

then everyone

should buy this Xiaolingtong.

That's right. That's why I said

this's a huge business opportunity.

This phone will definitely be popular.

Now they're doing trials

in Zhejiang province.

If we start this business

in our city,

we'll be the first

exclusive agent.

No one will compete with us.

Crazy Donkey has been

talking about going up the mountain these days.

I don't know what he meant.

You want them to take you to the mountain?

Of course.

Try your best

to arrest

all his members.

Without his other followers,

he'll have no choice but to take me to the mountain.

Okay.

That's it. What else do you need to tell me?

Gao Qiqiang

came to find you.

What?

He brought you fish.

I asked him to go back.

I think

he might be bullied.

If you visit him next time,

you can wear your police uniform.

Gao.

Hope I'm not disturbing you.

Go on. Go on.

It's okay.

No, we...

It's a small number.

Don't commit any gambling crime.

Or I'll catch you.

No, no.

How have you been?

Pretty good.

Did anyone bother you?

No, no, no.

Nothing else.

Officer An has been busy.

He asked me to visit you.

Wait for me.

Officer An and Deputy Director An

really care about me.

If there's a chance, I'll invite Deputy Director An

to pick some fish.

I don't smoke.

What did you say?

Deputy Director An?

I think Officer An

will be the deputy director in the future.

OK, as long as no one is bullying you.

If there's nothing else, I'm leaving.

-Go on with your thing. -Okay.

Don't gamble.

We won't.

Go ahead.

Okay, let me know if you need anything.

Gao,

I want to ask you about someone.

I'll show you the photo.

Is it about a case?

Don't talk here. Too many people here.

Let's talk outside.

Well,

I'm taking a walk with my friend.

I don't want to disturb you.

It's okay.

Let's go.

The victim's name is Huang Cuicui.

She used to be active near Old Factory Street.

She was a prostitute.

Her social contacts are complicated.

There are a lot of people

in the market.

Help me find

if there are any clues.

Okay.

I don't know much

about this person.

Later,

I'll ask around.

Can I use this picture

to ask them?

Can I make a copy?

As many as you like.

OK.

Brother Qiang is here.

Brother Qiang. Brother Qiang.

From now on...

What are you doing?

I can't accept this.

Take it back. Take it back.

I really don't want it.

It's nothing.

-What are you doing? -Just tell me.

No, really.

Well,

the victim's name is Huang Cuicui.

She used to be active

near Old Factory Street.

If there is any news about her,

inform the police immediately.

How's the investigation going on with

the robbed circuit board in the sand quarry?

We've confirmed the buyer

through some connections.

We're waiting for them to close the transaction.

OK. Arrest them immediately.

Investigate the sales pipline.

Spare no effort to

arrest all of them.

Brother, the Fifth, Sixth

and Sha Xiang are all arrested.

Your members are thrown

in jail in batches from time to time.

Nothing serious. It's just something

went wrong in selling circuit boards.

They won't sell

us out, right?

If they don't confess, it's six months in jail.

If they confess, it's eight or ten years.

Unless they can't think straight.

Brother,

shall we hide for a while?

Why should we?

We're going up the mountain this weekend.

Who's arranging it?

What if the boss gives the work to others?

We're left with nothing!
