Original subtitles

Wake up,

we're at Bar Street

25 RMB

You're exhausted and still drinking

What a warrior!

Thanks

By the way

Want to sleep in my car? I'm in no rush

Where is Wu Bar, please?

You're going to Wu Bar?

Turn right

at the intersection

Where are you?

I'm here

Why don't I see you?

I'm at Bar Street

I warn you, don't be late again

Can't you be nice?

Today's meeting is important

Why can't we talk at home?

You haven't been home in six months

I've booked Room 7.

Wait there

Ridiculous

Sir, do you have an invitation?

To what?

Our Third Anniversary Party

Must I have one?

One moment

Welcome, Mr. Zhong

You know me?

Greetings

Pardon the foreigner's Chinese

This way, please

Sir, please check your coat there

Out of the way! What invitation!

Third anniversary. That's why I'm here! Don't touch me

No invitation

Captain Zhong

Do you remember me?

I'm TV host Zhu Nan

My partner, Quanzi, interviewed you

Are you working on a case here?

Personal stuff

I understand. Police are people, too

It's just so hard getting any news

I just interviewed a drunk driver. That scum —

We'll talk later

Where is Room 7?

What?

Room 7

There's a guy looking for Miao

Hang on, Handsome

Life is like a cocktail

to be savored

This drink can be had any way you want

This is our Boss, Wu

Hello, I'm Wu Jiang

Call me Zhong Wen

How do you feel here?

Like a prison

Yes, once you're in there's no getting out

I'm joking. Miao isn't here yet

I'll show you around. Come on

This was a factory,

shut down for environmental reasons

Guess how long it took to redecorate

Brother Wu

This is Brother Zhong

It took me two years

The other bars demolished all these pipes

Such wonderful stuff. I kept them all

The piranhas were your idea?

They're illegal

I don't know the law

In local waters

they'd be alien invaders

"Survival of the fittest" is a rule of nature

You know Miao well?

She says your business keeps you busy

What a storyteller

Freeze!

That's my favorite room

Have a drink

Let's talk after the clients leave

Welcome to Wu Bar's Third Anniversary Party!

Room 7 is ahead. Turn right

You didn't tell me about the celebration

Zhong, please wait for me inside

My bar is full! I lose money by coming here

It's been a while. You're prettier now

Did you "renovate"?

Don't touch! It'll fall off

Which bottle would you like?

I'm not drinking today

Please, my boss expects me to sell these

Don't trouble him

You'll never change his mind. Put down here

Let's start with this

Please wait

I'm here. No rush

What's with the tattoo?

I've got more where you can't see them

You got smarter these six months

But your temper seems better

You told Wu I'm a businessman

Should I have said you're a cop?

It's a hard, shameful,

low-paying job

Your drink, sir

How's your hospital internship?

Don't worry about me

Did you get that scratch today?

Did you disinfect it? How did you get it?

Don't ask

You want to tell me

Someone reported a case this morning

A cook stabbed someone with meat skewers,

got cornered, and threatened suicide

Are you jumping or not!

Calm down

Three things: One, give me back my stove

Fine

Two, I'm not paying a fine. Three…

Hurry, it's freezing

I'm not going to prison

What are you yelling about?

I didn't yell

See, this is minor

It's major, a life was at stake

Have you jumped before?

It's my first time

How's your aim?

Good enough

Brother, let's talk

Stop. I'm not talking to you. Go.

Who will you talk to?

I'll talk to her. Bring her here

I'll talk to her. You, get out

This went on all day. We were all exhausted

I was worried he'd lose it

So you started to talk to him

I didn't

Let go

Stay still

Help!

He's not hurt. Said he'd treat me to lamb skewers

It's not worth it

to risk your life for strangers

What's so important we need to talk here?

You'll see

Everyone's a victim of gossip these days

Don't admit anything. Goodbye

Hello, Boss Niu

I'm Zhu Nan, host of TV's Life Channel

I've seen you on TV

May I interview you?

What a mess! You can't film here

He looks familiar

He owns a property company, a regular

He's rich. Comes for the girls

Boss Niu, let me introduce

this beauty. Do you know her?

Looks familiar

Some flirt

Boss Niu

She looks so familiar.

It's been a long time

He's my ex

How did you meet Boss Wu?

He came to the hospital with an old injury

What do you think of him?

I don't know, so I shouldn't say

Sorry, Brother Zhong

There are so many clients I neglected you

Why did you change your look?

You know full well

To introduce

This is my boyfriend

Now you know why we're meeting here

You two chat, I'll make my rounds

I don't like him

I'm telling you, not asking

How old is he?

It doesn't matter

He's almost my age

So what?

Look at the company he keeps

He's stringing you along

Why should he?

Why should I obey you?

What is it about him? What can he give you?

I feel safe

I'm a cop, and you feel safe with him?

He's got time for me. Do you?

He's my shoulder to cry on. Are you?

Some cop

Let me see what the racket is about

Stop it

Get out

Invitation. See, I have one

Get out

I know you've been angry with me

I feel like an orphan

Tomorrow marks your mom's death. Don't say that

Don't you talk about her

When she was here,

you were never home.

I was sick in the winter,

and she carried me to hospital by herself.

I finally got you

Give me back my money

You only started to care after she left

I don't need you

Come out here

Excuse me

What are you doing?

How dare you make trouble here?

It's only right to pay what is owed

Let the scumbag pay me and I'll go

Shut up and get out

I want the pay owed to me and my crew

You have a death wish

Today I do

You won't get away now

Take it easy. I'll pay you tomorrow

No, not tomorrow

Take some cash, I'll get my men to handle it

Today, I said

This won't work

I'll talk to him

Who are you?

I'm just having a drink

Please put out the fire first

I thought it's a major incident

It is, to me —

Turn it off

How many years have you been working?

I've been a laborer for ten years

Did you know there's a song

It was written for me

Turn it off

Turn it off

Let's talk openly here

Get the scumbag into the open for once

Don't go

What are you doing?

One last time: will you pay today?

You've seen it all

I can't pay you today

You're lying again, scumbag

I can't pay you today

Scumbag

Great move!

My front tooth

This bomb is too amateurish

I've called the police

Did you film that?

I forgot

Get the waiters to help. Call an ambulance

Stop! Out of the way!

You're fine

Where are you going?

To find Wu Jiang

Come, sit

Captain Zhong,

I'll interview you after Boss Niu

The show is about to start

I must go. My clients are waiting

You think everyone here is weird, right?

Drunks tend to make trouble here

All sorts of people show up

Welcome

Two words: traffic jam

You worry too much

I hope that's the case

You're suspicious of everyone

Tonight's show begins now!

Dad

Who are you?

Get into the cage! Don't think of getting out

There are so many of us. Let's attack them

Did you hear that? The men are going to help!

Inside!

How long had I been out? Wu?

Hours. You must have been exhausted

Why did you do this?

Ask why the police took so long, instead

No one called them

Everyone thought, I don't want to be involved

Do you know what you're doing?

Kidnapping's a felony. At least ten years in jail

Where is my daughter?

Miao? Waiting in the hall. She's a good girl

Don't talk about her

She never said her dad's a cop

That makes you a bad dad, and a bad cop

Am I your real target?

Sir, the police are at the door

Ignore them. Wait downstairs

So you called the police

Sorry, I used your phone

I answered a call from your lieutenant

I described the situation. He'll be here soon

You were military, over 20 accomplished years

with local, regional, casework, and SWAT

Penalized once, which you applied for yourself

You've done your homework

Too bad you couldn't handle your family

After all these years, your pay is so low

A year's pay for a tiny house. Was it worth it?

You don't get it. Some things are priceless

Lieutenant is still on his way

No hurry. We'll talk when he arrives.

Tell me your demands now

Don't tell me what to do

Hostages are hurt. The police won't be patient

I'm patient enough

Say what you need to say

Fine. You're my target

Guess why?

I've made many enemies

Last year, car thieves sold their loot nearby

We're short-staffed today, so let's stick to the plan

There's one outside, five inside

The white-haired one is the leader

Do you know White Hair?

Yue. Everyone here knows him

Freeze! Police!

Stop! Watch them

Yue is known to be vicious

You'll suffer if you try to capture him by yourself

Please let me go

I'll capture you myself

Just you wait. Your time will come

I'll wait for you

You did this for him, right?

I've heard of those guys

They're ranked too low

Most people use threats to boost egos

I agree

Lieutenant, you're here

I'm chatting with Capt. Zhong. He's fine

I want $80 - 90 million in non-sequential bills

Don't threaten me and talk about difficulty

Wu, I don't know what you want

Make a reasonable demand

Lieutenant has a bad temper

Don't get your hopes up. If we can do it, we will

Take it easy on him

You don't want money

Fine, I'll be frank

I want to see someone

It's easy for you to find people

But my friend lives far away

I haven't seen him in a while

You want to know why? You'll see

Not your call? Why are you wasting my time?

Calm down, let's talk it out

Talk it out?

You're trying to bluff? Don't bother

I forgot you'd been shot

I'm curious. What's it like?

It's like taking a vicious hit with a stick

I couldn't find my shoulder

or this side

Then, this pain that sears through your heart

I've felt that searing pain

What happened to your leg?

It was long ago

The dark green pickup ahead

Pull over

Two suspects are in the truck-

the leader's a cripple. Should be the one in the back seat

Have you ever kidnapped anyone?

The hostage is in there. Don't shoot

Captain Zhong, we're going

Stay safe

Take care of them

Don't worry

I'll chase them

Call dispatch. We need backup

That's a better attitude

Are you really bad at small talk, or just acting?

Fine. My only demand is to see that person

Not "we'll try." It's a "must."

Confirm in five minutes

We're in no hurry. Let's chat

How are they?

Chao is fine. Hai broke his arm

The backup cars will catch up soon

Don't be afraid. I'm a policeman

Be brave. Mr. Policeman will come soon

Stay put

Where's the other guy?

Too bad we couldn't save the driver

The main perpetrator is still on the loose

Not a bad story, but you guessed wrong

I despise people who kidnap children

The trip shouldn't take more than three hours

Traffic's smooth at this hour

The hostage? Emotionally stable, pragmatic

Sure. I'll be on lookout

Taozi, come up. Keep your eyes on him

Calm down. Play some relaxing music

Let me have a taste

Why? For courage?

Take it easy, this stuff is strong

What's going on?

What's wrong, Niu?

Heart attack

Is there a doctor here?

Do you know how?

Hospital

I'll go with you to the hospital

We must get to a hospital. He can't die

Shut up

I'm a doctor. I must go with him to hospital!

Out of the way!

I'm fine. It comes and goes.

What a phony!

25 YEARS POLICE SERVICE WITH 22 MERITORIOUS AWARDS

HOSTAGE INCIDENT — A KIDNAPPED WOMAN WAS THREATENED BY KNIFE

Where are they?

Honestly, I'm anxious to see him

I warn you, if my friend isn't here

All the cops you bring will be useless

Procedure isn't my concern

What, you want to come in? No need

I'm a man of my word

Wu Jiang

When my guy arrives,

Wu Jiang,

the hostages will be fine

come here

Except Captain Zhong

Wu Jiang

Listen! You won't get out

but you can make other requests

Open up

What do you want?

I need the restroom

Anything else?

Boss Wu, may I interview you?

Sure

Get out

Dad, you're here!

Are you okay?

Sorry, Dad, forgive me

I dressed up like that to upset you

I didn't show I cared. You're much prettier now

Put this away for me

Be careful, Dad

Where can I get a phone?

They took all our phones

They're on the table in the hall

But…

Hurry up!

I'm Zhu Nan, host of the Life Channel

I risked my life for this Exclusive

at a kidnapping

Here's the mastermind behind this case

Can I say that?

You must have a great story,

Boss Wu. Say hello

Hands off. I want a drink. So what?

Let's continue

Do you feel that

I'm insane for doing this?

No. Why are you committing this crime?

I just did what no one else dares

Let me go

I'm not done with the interview. Look —

Are you done?

You were nice to me to get my dad here

If you must say that

You're using me

I'm not a good guy,

your dad's not a good cop.

Neither of us

can make you feel safe.

This is Zhong Wen. I stole a cell phone

Are you safe now?

I'm fine. I'm hiding

What's going on?

There are over a dozen hostages

There were four suspects. I got rid of one

The boss, Wu, is the leader.

He has a knockoff 64

What are his demands?

He wants to see a prison detainee

What's the name?

Wei Xiaofu

Wei Xiaofu

Chief has agreed and is making arrangements

We've made a plan with snipers and SWAT

Are conditions suited for a SWAT assault?

The bar is two stories tall. The hostages are

in a cage, watched by the three suspects

If we attack now

It'll be too dangerous for the hostages

They may have other weapons

Understood

We may attack at any time

Boss, that guy escaped

I have to go

Find him! Useless fool

He's here

Is that all you've got?

I bet you still can't handle him

Brother Zhong, you're amazing

But aren't you worried about your daughter?

Miao said, you used to be her hero

How'd you become a deserter?

Let's talk

In your own words, let's talk openly

Dad, don't worry about me

I wanted her in my "law of the jungle" experiment

Don't come out, Dad

Sure, you must think in your dark corner

but fingertips

don't grow back

Stop

Dad, don't come

Don't come

Let her go. Target me

Now you're like a good father, but it's too late

Stop

I'm fine

Give him room. So, you're here on a case

Where were you? Were we in any danger?

Lady! Stop saying stupid things

What did I say?

You don't stop talking! So annoying!

With this scoop, she'll be promoted tomorrow

None of your business

I'm fine

Let me go. Do you think I can escape?

I'm sure you will. You'll be fine

From my experience, he'll release us soon

In all kidnappings —

They'd be killing the hostages now

It's usually about money

I know Wu well. He's rich.

It's more than that

Is there a back door here?

- There's just this door - Boss designed the bar.

He sealed the back door

What does your father do?

He's a policeman

Such hatred, beating him so badly. Must be over a girl

Don't worry. We don't know him

I know you

The drug store

The thief- he stole from me

That's right

I didn't recognize you without your uniform

She was there that day, too

That's Lan, now a manager at the nightclub

And the famous Boss Niu.

We were all there

Something happened inside

Captain Zhong is in there. What happened?

We're together again. That's destiny

Cut the nonsense

Comrade Policeman, what's your issue with Wu?

Talk it out with him. Why involve us?

Destiny, my foot

Chief Zhang, a high official

I'm so honored. They're all fine

You want to see them, right?

Look. They're lively and well-fed

I am Police Chief Zhang Guomin. Don't worry

I'll do my best to help you

Go ahead, Boss Wu. We'll wait

Film this area and the people

My friend isn't here. You're unreliable

Give us more time. Several reasons —

I don't care. You have five minutes

Show some respect. Five more minutes

If he's not here in ten minutes, I'll get violent

Please come, Boss Wu

I want to talk to you

Go ahead

Alone

Our usual place

Zhong, what more is there to say?

You just want us.

Why involve innocents?

I need more chips

And how do you know they're innocent?

What do want to say?

You created an elaborate plot

Yes

But you can't win with your way

We'll see

You need a middleman.

I can help

A cop helping a criminal. What a joke

What do you want to know from that case?

I don't want to discuss that now

Then we'll wait for Wei Xiaofu

You ask lots of questions. My turn

You cops don't see much of this, do you?

We see all kinds

How many cases have you been on?

Lots. Over 100 a year

How many cops die in a year?

About 400 die in the line of duty in China

And how many hostages?

Accidents happen

Will there be an accident today?

I don't want casualties today

Including me?

Yes. Every life is precious

I stopped believing that long ago

Although you've done your homework

Zhong, you sneaked into my secret chamber

So you know some of my secrets

You can see this is beyond negotiation

So we have nothing to talk about

I see you're a boxer

I've got some time. Let me tell you a story

You asked what happened to my leg

As a boy, I went overseas with my father

He killed himself due to gambling debts. I had to repay them

The only skill I had there

was fighting

I had always fought

on others' behalf

Fighting over who's more vicious

I never had a worthy opponent

You risk your life for money

but life is so worthless and fleeting

I swore to stop once I repaid the debts

So during that time I was like a crazy man

I finally repaid all the debts

but I didn't want to do anything else

It was all about

money, life and death

So I continued

You may be killed by your opponent at any time

My nickname was Spider. I never lost,

but a spider is an insignificant bug

Illegal boxers are the same

I knew your men from boxing

The foreigners were the best in their countries

The shorter one, Pichon, is a regular champion

Everyone wanted us to fight

I know it's inevitable

Before the fight, I felt the bets were too big

The better fighter you are, the more you're worth

and the closer to death you are

What happened at that fight?

In the beginning we were even

Then he got the upper hand

Next round, he'll let you win

The two bosses arranged everything

I found out just before the final round

It was a fight to the death

Next round, kill him

Boss didn't know my heart was soft that day

I'd decided to return to China after that fight

and bring some fighters to help me

Poor Pichon

only knew he was to lose

I told him he had been fixed to die

Disobeying the boss meant death

So several of us escaped and hid for a time

We're lucky to be here, alive

Why did you suddenly go soft?

As you say, you don't get it

You've lived quite a life

But one can't treat another's life lightly

Everyone has the right to live

To live well

You know why I'm still alive?

You came back to China five years ago

just for the drugstore robbery

For the truth

The world is full of lies

Is this the only way to find the truth?

I should say, it's my way

Don't sit

Don't sit

Amazing! You almost succeeded

This bulletproof glass is worth every penny

It's a police rescue effort, you'd do the same

Your plan was good, snipers and SWAT together

but I'm no amateur thief

Why didn't you let me sit?

I wanted to save you

You want to help me and save me

He's on screen

- There were gunshots - Chief Zhang, I'm still alive

Your Captain Zhong? He also lives

Cut the nonsense. Let me see Wei Xiaofu

Why did you get me here so late at night?

Get him in here to see me

You're kidding! I don't want to go in

It's against the rules to bring a prisoner here

Please know we must guarantee his safety

You're tricking me

You must see Wei Xiaofu, right?

Let me break it down for you

You're armed, took hostages and are at a stalemate

I can kill some hostages

And I'll make sure you'll never see Wei

The police will find another way to attack

What are you saying?

Only I can help you to see him

He trusts me. I can try to bring him in

I'll talk to him, and you free the hostages.

Think on it

Life is like a cocktail

What might the next sip taste like?

I've filmed everything you told me to

Trust my skills

And if you don't come back?

Trust me, I will

But you must guarantee Wei's safety

You dare to trust my guarantee?

Trust is mutual

Take two people. Your daughter stays

I said, all the hostages

Impossible. I must keep some

I know which ones. Let the rest go

No

No deal

Three

No deal

You can only bring three hostages

Put down your gun

You two have hot tempers

Here. You two fight.

You win, I promise you can bring people out

You lose, go alone

Dad, you're hurt

You can't defeat him. Don't fight

You're not young anymore

It's embarrassing to lose. Never mind

Why? Fight! You're a cop!

Good prevails over evil

Take us out

Fine

Agreed

Comrade Police, it's all on you! Go, go!

Be careful, Dad

In a few seconds, you won't be able to get up

This fight is too hard

We can't benefit from his loss. Pray for him

Captain Zhong, there's no shame in giving up

Stop playing the hero, Dad

Zhong, give up if you can't handle it

Dad, stop! You can't beat them

Get up, Cop

Go, Mr. Policeman!

Beat him

How suspenseful

He is good

Stop, Dad

Stay down or you'll die

Stop fighting

We don't want to go out anymore

Cop, we're moved. You tried your best

Mr. Policeman, we don't want to go anymore

Stop, don't get up

Please stop fighting, I'm begging you

Don't let go! Hang on tight!

He can't last! Harder!

Careful, Cop

Cop, let go! Watch out

Let go. You won

You won

Give me your scarf

Don't lock up again! Aren't we all going?

Here's an idea

I'll take my daughter out first

When Wei Xiaofu comes in, she may go

I'm not going anywhere

I'm staying with my dad till the end

Don't regret it

As agreed, I'll give you the man you want

Bring three people with you first

Why change now? This is too much

It's leverage in case you don't come back

I'll release them just before Wei comes in

That's not a change. Choose the hostages

Wu, I really can't go on.

I'll forfeit the money

My health is poor. May I be one of them?

Wu, if you think I'm useful to you I'll stay

I'll go out to film, okay?

Have you decided?

The two injured hostages,

and him

You

Me? Just me?

No, I'm staying with my girlfriend

Only you dared make a move.

We need more men like you

I'll make an exception. Go together

Hurry

You're a casualty: you lost a tooth

Just me?

We're inseparable

I owe him money, I need to pay him outside

You'd have enough to pay if you'd drink less

Captain Zhong, you must return

Zhong,

You have ten minutes. I'm very punctual

Hostages are coming! We need a stretcher

There are four more

This is a suspect- cuff him

You saved my life

Cheers for the Policeman!

There are more people back here

Are you badly hurt

I'm okay. It's minor,

Chief Zhang

Check out these suspects

Three suspects and three guns

Where are they located?

In the main hall, with 16 hostages

Physical conditions of the hostages?

All right

But they can't last much longer mentally

Lieutenant

I felt you took action too soon just now

Captain Zhong, the suspect wants to talk to you

I'll tell you everything I know

Speak

I did this for money

I never imagined he'd make such a big deal

Please don't go in. You'll never get back out

They told me they

don't expect to get out alive

That's all I know

Thank you, sir

These are from the building's management

We have eight more minutes

It differs from the blueprint-

the windows are sealed

This door

is made with 25cm-thick steel panels

The walls are 50cm thick

There was a back door but it's been sealed

He's from building management

How could you allow all these changes?

It's private property, out of our jurisdiction

Fine. I'll call if I need you

He's really built himself a fortress

Over here?

You can go in from the roof here and be hidden

Seven more minutes

This is a homemade bomb with a timer

The wiring is complex, with multiple detonators

He means to blow up everyone, including himself

There are so many hostages

The best way to save them is for me to bring Wei in

Trading two people for 12.

Has he agreed to go in?

I was on the phone with my mother

She wants me to behave, to try for early release

Please help us

It's too risky

Your safety is a concern

It may be dangerous, but we'll try our best

Help us. We'll apply to reduce your sentence

I still feel unsafe. Forget it

We can't force you to take a risk like this

Thanks for taking care of my mom all these years

I promised years ago that I would

Everyone on our team donated to your family

I'm touched

Here's the information on the suspects

Bin, a Thai

Pichon, a Filipino

Wu Jiang returned five years ago, as a Thai

The victim Mei's parents were divorced

The mother died,

a brother went overseas with the father

I think Wu Jiang is Mei's brother

He's not asking for Wei Xiaofu's release

Three of the hostages were witnesses back then

I think he wants to know what happened

Cops, criminals, witnesses: all here

It's been five years

You have four more minutes

Let's talk method

We'll dress as Zhong and Wei. SWAT stands by

First, cut open the roof by laser

The door opens, we attack from above and below

It's hard to attack through the crack in the door

This way, we get their attention

Roof-cutting time varies. We'll endanger the hostages

Hostage safety comes first

Let me negotiate again

You can't-

lives are at stake. Talk is useless

This is too major.

It calls for a hard-core assault

Assaults are most risky now

And you're not taking a risk by going back in?

Keeping my promise will build trust.

There's still a chance to talk

You've been talking for six hours

Some negotiations last months, you know

No

We got injured hostages out with talking

Lieutenant was looking out for you

Trading two for 12, good deal

See? As Lieutenant, I should go in,

not you

It's my case, the same one as five years ago

I'm most suited to go in

Besides, my daughter's inside

Shouldn't he stay away for that reason?

Stop arguing

Zhong should go back in

But get a substitute for Wei

Wu will know

at a glance

Chief Zhang, please come here

Repeat what I say. "Three more minutes."

The thug says —

What?

Boss Wu says, three more minutes

"If he doesn't come, you will die"

"If he doesn't come,

I will die"

"No joke"

"No joke." He's really not joking, please help!

Less than three minutes now

Chief Zhang, Wei Xiaofu has agreed to go in

Reason?

One, to repay our favor

Two, he doesn't want to be evil

He's a real man

Make a small opening to save time. Go!

Yes, sir! Run

Bomb Squad, give Wei a suit

The Lieutenant is in charge.

It's on you

Guoqiang, this is your sniper operation

Yes, sir

As you say, your own safety is key

The sniper needs to set up.

Talk and buy more time

On my orders. It's already loaded

Don't be angry.

I didn't want you to bear this alone

If possible, let me talk a bit more

If I can control the scene, don't let the sniper shoot

You win

You can still smile?

These clothes are safe and warm

But it weighs over 35kgs

Does this count as a merit?

I might get a reduced sentence for this?

I can still care for my mom in this lifetime

The roof-cutting team is in place

Hurry

Say something, Captain Zhong

Are you being brave for your daughter?

How is it your daughter's here?

If she wasn't here, would you be going back in?

What's wrong with her?

When the hostages come out we'll go in

Once we go in, will we get out alive?

I promise to keep you alive as long as I live

What if you die first?

Just kidding. I'm a nervous wreck

Once inside, stay next to me and don't move

May I speak?

Speak the truth, not nonsense

What did you stuff into my clothes just now?

That's nonsense

Arms

You should get a job at Airport Security

Again, bullshit

Go

Police

Police! Hurry, help! What's going on?

Talk, don't hit.

We're in positions of power

These sons of bitches

Where's my daughter?

Dad, I'm here

I'm fine.

You take care

Help! Police! I'm afraid of heights

Your outfit is awesome. Can you get us out?

What is all this?

What's tied around our necks?

Can you tell me what's going on?

It looks like a bomb. Is it real?

It's real

We're missing one person

Maybe there's a still a hostage inside

Good job, Captain Zhong

You really brought him in here

I'm a man of my word. I want to evacuate the hostages

Your crimes are not serious

We can explain everything away

I can prove you stopped voluntarily

You can't help me. It's my time now

18 more minutes

What's he wearing? What a ridiculous getup

We must do our best to protect him

This is my turf. You can't protect him

You guaranteed his safety

His temporary safety

In this getup, I don't recognize him

Remove his helmet

Helmet off

Stay back

Stay back

Don't play this game with me.

They despise me

I'm not afraid. He thinks I'll cause evil

Stay back

I don't want to wear this

It's stuffy. I'm dizzy

I'm not afraid.

Wei Xiaofu

Isn't that what's-his-name?

How come it's him?

Put on your helmet

Relax, Captain Zhong. I'll be with you now

The police forced you to come, right?

You're wrong. I came willingly

You've rounded everyone up.

The truth will come out

I've been waiting for this day

Big brother, when will you be back?

Everyone knows this girl, right?

Now you know

she's my baby sister

We were separated. I found her five years ago

She's the meaning of my life

I came back,

but didn't see her

I finally found a way to meet with you

I don't know what happened

five years ago

But you were all there.

Let's talk

It's been so long. What if I can't remember?

The bomb is remote-controlled. It may help you think

Let me think. I should remember

Let's begin

When we're done I can go back out, right?

Someone won't make it out today

Then what can I do to make sure I will?

Don't mess with me, but that's hard for you

Say your piece. Hurry

Who should speak first?

Cutting the roof takes time

The team is worried about disturbing those below

You're right. My first idea won't work

Just play for time

Let me start

Wait, Zhong

Remove your communication devices

so I won't have to

We're trying other ways to get in

We can launch the assault in 15 minutes

Till then, you're in charge of the inside

Wei Xiaofu, you start

It all started with me

That night, almost at this time

A few customers were at the drugstore. I went in

I want to do something for my mom

She's in poor health.

But I can't afford tonics

My mistake was being too nosy

I'll give you 20 extra

I wanted to ask whose wallet that was

No way-

who're you trying to kid?

You were drunk, what do you know?

I was drinking, but my mind was clear

Hand it over

What is this?

I just picked it up from the floor

You stole it

I just picked it up

Do you know who I am?

You dare to steal my stuff? Go to hell

I really did pick it up

Wait.

Don't move.

And then?

Then…

Quickly

I'm clearest on what happened next

Go to hell!

I really picked it up

Wait.

Don't move

This is mine. Did you pick it up, too?

Does he have any more?

Two boxes

I'm a man of principles. I convince with reason

Were you being reasonable?

I call it as I see it

That's called hitting me when I'm down

What?

I remember every word you said that night

This box costs tens of thousands

You have good taste

Shall we handle it ourselves

or call the police?

Handle it or call police

You can't tell? He's poor

Call the police

Sure. I'll call them now

Don't call the police

I was afraid it'd turn into a big deal

That's how it became a big deal

Who dares to call the police? Don't!

Stop, if you want to live

What do you mean? What do you want?

Give it to me

Give it over. Now

Hello, Police?

Thinking back I really was confused

I should have run. They wouldn't have stopped me

But I —

Give me the phone

We're being robbed!

The drug store by Gu Lou

Give it to me! Let go!

When my sister was thrown to the ground

You just watched

He was closest, and he ran. What could I have done?

Of course I wanted to approach, but they left

I'm not experienced with one-on-one

I wasn't scared, but he dragged me away

And then?

I'll tell the story for you

I was off-duty and passed by

Comrade Police, something's happening there

Don't move. Stay away

He stole something. She called the police

The thief, he —

Step out

Stop. Don't come over

Call dispatch, notify local police

I was thinking then —

I'll tell it for you

The criminals may kill the hostages

Don't move! Back off

Captain Zhong has the power to —

One more step and I'll kill her

- easily and decisively kill you

You're being ridiculous

If that were true, it wouldn't be a problem

All life is precious.

Without understanding —

Captain Zhong is used to talking it out

There's no rush. Let's talk it out

But Zhong was distracted.

His wife was

run over by a car

and being treated in hospital

The hospital and his daughter kept calling him

I get it

Why are you on the phone?

I'll be right there

Hang up

Wei Xiaofu gets out of control

Are you tricking me? What do you want?

Do you think I'm bluffing?

And the rest is history

LIVE

Captain Zhong, tell us what's going on inside

You tell great stories.

How can you be sure?

Were you there? How do you know everything?

Are you done speaking?

It's my turn

Miao will tell you, but she doesn't know much

That night, my wife was running a high fever

I was working and couldn't take her to hospital

She forbidden her to go

She took a cab alone, and the accident happened

I ignored my phone,

but felt something was wrong

I felt rushed that day

Captain Zhong was so patient that day

Take your time, we'll talk everything out

When I called back I found out what happened

By the time I rushed to the hospital

it was too late

I wanted to explain to my daughter, but

she wouldn't listen or forgive me

I tried to convince him to stop

I took the drugs for my mom

Let's clarify everything and do what must be done

Let the girl go.

It would be bad if she got hurt

We'll think of a way to help your mother

Will that do?

So can't you let me go?

Please!

Wei was agitated.

Your sister was quite calm

I didn't know what to do. Suddenly —

Accidents always happen suddenly

Fine. Let me continue

It was chaos outside. Your sister said, softly,

"Kill me."

What did she say?

She spoke very softly. I thought I'd misheard

What did you say?

You heard it, too

I heard her cry out, once

That was her second cry

What did you say?

"Kill me"

What are you doing?

It wasn't me, I didn't move

Ambulance

She injured her carotid artery and bled to death

This is the truth you wanted

So, my sister killed herself

Of course. I used my knife as a bluff

I never guessed she'd grab it,

it scared me

Why should I believe you?

I believe him

You weren't even there

She was troubled.

See what drug she bought

What drug?

What drug did she buy?

Manager, I'm afraid you must tell us

What are you doing?

Testing for leaks

You're paying for this

Sleeping pills

Prescription?

100 pills

By law, it's sold by prescription only

I'm a man of principle

And then?

I'll take over from here

The law is dead. People are alive

A warning:

to pull a bluff, just take a few

Can I buy them or not?

Sure,

but it doesn't cost this much

I'll give you a few more pills, then

Coming! One moment, please

Are you done?

Yes

Continue-

What? They're all the same

You broke up?

It's always that

I've taken them before. It's horrible

I had my stomach pumped. Vomited like mad

What else did you say?

Nothing

You're no angel.

I remember what you said next

What true love?

I don't trust anyone any more

There are so many men

We're not the same kind of people

What do you mean?

Playing innocent

You're so blind!

Just go and die

When did I say all that?

You said it

Wu, I never did.

I tried to talk her out of it

Your sister died because of what she said

You sold her the drug knowing she was depressed

I can prove he sold her the drug

They're working together

Shut up!

Calm down.

They did find sleeping pills on her

Does buying sleeping pills equal suicide?

Extreme agitation may cause dire actions

I know why

Watch what you say

Half of female suicides are for a man

The other half are for several men

Boss Wu

I say so because I've done it

I realize now it's not worth it, but many don't

Listen to me

I completely understand how you feel

It's hard to live alone abroad for so many years

Your sister was your only family, the light of your life

She died, so you came here to investigate

or take it out on someone. That's natural

Go on. You have five more minutes

You planned this

to punish her killer, right?

Regardless of method,

you have the wrong target

You mean, you're all innocent

What Lan said makes sense

Explain yourself

There's something you should know

Your sister was pregnant at the time

She sees you as a parent

she must have told you

Stop

When the M.E. discovered her pregnancy, we investigated

She had no marriage record,

and the father never came

See? Men are not worth it!

No one here is who you're looking for

Even if you find him, it could become a story

You're trying to confuse me

I want to clear your mind

Even so, you're out of time

Look, you've made it like a trial today

Each one of you is guilty

The law has already —

You just watched as my sister died?

You, a cop,

I admit I made mistakes

It was your knife.

Does ten years in jail pay for her life?

What do you want from me?

Niu, Lan, you stood by while she died.

You're killers

What did I do?

No one minds others' business any more

At least let me know why I have to die

I helped her. I tried to talk her out of it

She didn't trust anyone. It's not my fault

Manager

Put on your helmet

For a small profit, you let my sister die

I'm not the only one.

And she didn't die from the drugs

No one shoots!

Tell them to put down their guns

Don't force me to shoot

Stop, Wu.

You can still live if you surrender now

No shooting

Fine. Stop shouting or I'll shoot you

This is a great outfit

Drop your guns.

Behind you, Dad

Life's like a cocktail-

Gotta drink it to know

if it was bitter or sweet

You're hard to handle

Meet Kun,

bartender and bomb maker

My leg

What do you want?

Don't worry. This is fake.

The real ones come later

- None of you can hide from them - Please! Spare us!

Why didn't you just kill me?

Glad you understand.

I'm saving you

But it's over

Not yet

You're my sister's boyfriend, right?

What kind of joke is this?

I found half a picture among her things

I remember your tattoo

You've changed it,

but I still know it

Really?

Really?

Since Zhong has said so, I'll tell you

Yes,

I am he

Interesting. I thought you escaped long ago

Yet you work and make bombs for me

Why are you pointing your gun at me?

I want to see how you avenge Mei's death

Good for you. We're really all here

I was a coward then

But now I know I'll be last to go,

I fear nothing

Talk fast. You have two minutes to live

Wu, you had a part in her death, too

What?

She told me

you didn't want her to be with me

But I genuinely fell in love

with her

She got pregnant and told you

But you said you'd come to kill me.

She was so hurt

There was no hope for me,

so I broke up with her

That night, we had a big fight

She stormed out, crying.

I ran after her

Even that last time we looked at each other

we never knew how fragile life would be

I lived for revenge.

Now I know how much she hated me

What one didn't treasure, one may not salvage

Right, Wu?

Come on, you've got the gun

Wu

I wronged her the most

I most deserve to die

Get down

Miao!

Dad, I'm here

Dad I'm here

You missed the first train

I could have gotten on, but there's no point

You destroyed my plan

Your plan? Why must you harm my daughter?

Everyone's lives are worthless except Mei's

No one has the right to take others' lives in anger

Stay away

My sister didn't deserve to die

So you have to hurt more people?

If she were alive, would she want this?

But she's dead.

She's not coming back

Then you should treasure life even more

Dad

Let my daughter go

This is the same scene as five years ago

Shoot. You get a merit. I get to die.

Win-win

Of course, there may be accidents

I beg you, let my daughter go

If I do, will it be over?

You must pay for your actions

Throw the gun over

Don't obey. Don't let him have the gun

Throw the gun over

Wu Jiang

You're right. Someone must pay

I'll do anything for my sister

Sadly, now I know I'll never escape

One last game, Zhong. You and me.

There's one bullet left. Shoot before the next train

Shoot me and I'll stab her in the neck

Shoot yourself and she lives

Dad, don't believe him

Shoot me and I'll stab her neck

Shoot yourself and she lives

Don't shoot, I'll kill her anyway

Who lives? Who dies? It's up to you

I was late then because I was saving someone else

I was wrong to blame you

Unfortunately, I failed there, too

Zhong, the train's coming

I'll take responsibility for your sister's death

My daughter

has nothing to do with this

Please don't hurt her, no matter what

I want to see you be that kind of father

I'll give you ten seconds before I shoot

No, Dad

Child,

I've been a bad father.

I had no time for you,

and made you feel vulnerable.

Sorry

But… for you

I'll do anything

One…

Sorry. I removed the bullet just now

I would do anything for my sister

A small trick

Zhong, I admire you.

Go wait for me on the platform

Dad, I can't go

Go, get someone! This is an order! Now!

Run

Is there anything else, Zhong?

I have to arrest you

Say I disappeared.

I'd do anything for my sister

I'd die for her

Wu Jiang!

Get out of my way

It's not worth it

I'll take the blame

Ignore me, as if I were a bug

Don't worry about me

Give up. You can still live

Goodbye

Down the well-lit street

A cold spell suddenly attacks

Distant warmth cannot

Relieve nearby sorrows

Am I just going with the flow?

As long as the story continues

I must remain on defense

Loyal to my own battle

Hurry, get a doctor!

Hang in there

You threw the switch?

Yes. Perfect timing, right?

What can I use for my rescue

When love has drained away

Who can keep whom

Who will my heart wait for

What can I use for my rescue

Love is like a poison arrow

Who can protect whom

Who can make love last forever

Wait

Good one, brother

That hurt

All the hostages are safe,

no penalty for you

How's Wei Xiaofu?

He's a tough kid

Take care of your father

Dad, you're great

I'm very ordinary

Stop being humble, cop

Take it easy on me from now on

Wu Jiang says, you win this round

This is for you. He says goodbye

Double slate

You gonna clap it on my nose?

Watch his foot!

Why didn't we use a fake knife?

Sorry, Jackie

Go again

Fake it-

we're shooting a movie, Bro

Then go and fight

Stop

Jackie

Your ear

It looks funny again

Your nose

Let's do another take

Go again

Again

Wait

This is no good

It's so hard

Can we do this?

This won't work

So you want this

This way, then

It's so difficult!

He's just not a good choice

Look at the… $%… %&!@&…

I'm speaking Portuguese

Just look at the company you keep —

Look at the people he's with

Slap me

Please slap me

Slap me

I beg you, slap me

I beg you, slap me

Jackie

You're just not good company —

the company… (garbled)

You're not in good company —

Who is good company —

You shouldn't be in company —

He's with different people every day —

I quit

I'll refund my pay

Stand still

Hello

Say it boldly

He's afraid

then he &%&…!!

He's on screen

What have you done?

Jackie

Don't

I didn't

Go

Now you're talking like a good father

I have another line, go again

Sorry

I'll punch you later

Damn

It won't break

That really hurts

Go again

Yes!

Jackie broke it

I've proven I can break it

You said it's unbreakable,

So I had to break it

Especially with Jaycee Fang here

I must prove it to him

Why won't it open?

What's going on?
