Young Blood

Episode 8

You know

he isn’t a good choice

for the section chief.

[Section 7]

Why did you choose him as the chief?

So that I can easily influence him

and instigate him.

Then why didn’t you yourself be the chief?

What do you think?

You taught him

to say that, didn’t you?

Whatever we have to do next,

Yuan Zhongxin is injured.

Let’s pass him over.

You didn’t want to be the chief,

because the chief had to go to the prison camp.

Then you made Junior Wei be the chief,

so that he could

have you stay.

There’s a big loophole in your guess.

Yes, I know.

You had to be injured first.

Or Junior Wei couldn’t change the dean’s mind,

whatever he said.

But the problem is…

How you got hurt?

Liang Zhu punched me.

Everyone saw that.

I remembered

what Xue Ying said that night.

Wang Kuan said

you wanted to help me.

I don’t what you are talking about.

Sorry.

I was wrong.

You did everything,

just to avoid being sent to

the prison camp.

The mission wasn’t given until today.

How could I know it before?

But you can guess it right.

Because I guess it right, too.

In five days, three teachers

taught us body movements and martial arts,

to keep us alive.

Let alone of this.

Old Thief should give a class for secrets of gangs.

But his class is all about

criminal distinctions and prison camp details.

Then I realize that

our mission must be related to the prison camp.

Exactly.

That’s exactly what I guessed.

So…

You used Wang Kuan, Xue Ying, Junior Wei,

and even Liang Zhu

as your chessmen.

You set a trap in fives day,

so that you could get rid of the mission.

Impressive!

Wang Kuan failed to see it through.

But you did.

You know what?

If I knew

Liang Zhu taught us martial arts,

I wouldn’t have annoyed Xue Ying.

What?

Are you going to

tell Dean Lu about it?

It won’t help.

If he changes his mind,

it means he was cheated.

You thought about it already.

That’s fine, then.

How about this?

I’ll cook the dinner,

just to make you happy.

Are you so scared of death?

Have you thought about it?

Why didn’t they send imperial guards?

Why must we sneak into the prison camp,

and disguise as criminals?

Why must we go

for such an important mission?

I have a sharp nose.

I felt the trouble already.

Since there’s trouble,

I will stay away from it.

So, you asked them to be in trouble?

It’s okay. Wang Kuan is there.

There’ll be no big deal.

Have you thought about it?

What if they fail to come back alive?

You will help, then.

How dare you be lazy!

Get up!

Get up!

Bring them in!

Untie them!

Yes.

Leave us.

Yes.

In the prison camp,

no one else knows who you are, except me.

After you step out,

you’re prisoners.

What else would you like to ask?

What’s in that cave?

A mining cave.

Why is it sealed then?

Weird things happened when it was dug further.

A lot of guys died there.

The Mountain Ghost is said to live there.

So, it was sealed.

You believe there is Mountain Ghost?

In the prison camp,

you can’t believe ghosts or Gods.

Most importantly,

don’t believe humans.

So, we can only trust you?

You’d better not.

Whatever you’re going to do,

don’t tell me.

Anyway,

leave quickly and don’t make troubles.

If everything goes smoothly,

we’re leaving in three days.

It tastes so good!

It’s so good!

I haven’t had dinner yet.

Then cook for yourself.

But you can’t finish so many dishes.

None of your business.

Dean, you haven’t had dinner yet, huh?

Come and join us.

Wang Kuan and others are in trouble.

Missing in the prison camp?

Which one of them?

All of them.

Escaped?

It’s heavily guarded.

They had no way to escape.

They must be in the prison camp.

How did they get missing?

Together?

Or one by one?

I’m not sure.

During the count-off last night,

people found they were missing.

Were their bodies found?

No.

Just missing.

What do you mean then?

The secret letter is still missing.

Your mission remains unfinished.

Four guys were lost.

Now you’re forcing us there.

It depends on you

if you’re going.

What the hell are we going to find?

Why don’t you ask officers to look for it?

Why it has to be us?

Besides,

why is it in the prison camp?

Who told you that?

Explain clearly to us

and we’ll consider if we’re going.

In this case,

I agree with Yuan Zhongxin.

We won’t know if it’s a trap

unless we know the sequence.

I’m not afraid of danger.

But I must know

what I’m going to face with.

Okay.

Come with me.

Why must we talk here,

instead of where we were?

Close the door.

I feel he’s going to kill us.

You can leave right away.

And you won’t be ever involved in.

I thought you would have gone.

How could you ever know what I want to do?

Old Thief is right.

You’re loyal

to your friends.

Enough!

Get to the point.

Okay.

If you want the truth,

come with me.

I didn’t expect you to have such a secret place.

If a thief breaks in,

he won’t find this place.

Come with me.

You must have known each other.

My friends.

Hope that you’re well.

Why is he here?

Isn’t he supposed to be in the Ministry of Punishments?

Don’t rush.

We’re partners now.

He offered the news that

the secret letter was in the prison camp.

The secret letter

is a list for crossbow technicians.

Your dynasty has various crossbows

which are powerful.

They’re great weapons at wars.

So, Crossbow Workshop has always been

our primary target.

[Crossbow Workshop]

Stool cleaner?

Crossbow Workshop is heavily guarded.

Those who wanted to sneak in

have been killed.

Only one secret agent

developed a new way.

It took him one year

to become a stool cleaner.

He cleaned stool

for all families in town.

So that he could sneak in?

No.

There are specific cleaners for Crossbow Workshop.

He couldn’t get in.

But crossbow technicians have families,

normally near Crossbow Workshop.

So, the secret agent

travelled through the town.

After long-term observation,

he figured out the true identity

of most crossbow technicians

and he made a list.

If Liao Dynasty

has the list,

our nation

will have a disaster.

But why is the list

in the prison camp?

The agent had planned to leave the town.

But he had some accidents.

How dare you annoy Junior Wei!

Yeah!

How dare you!

I’ll let my dog bite you!

Try it!

Junior Wei?

Yes.

Junior Wei’s servants

punched the agent

and sent him to the prison camp

in the name of stealing.

It’s a disaster.

And Junior Wei stopped it?

He didn’t even know it.

Playboys have such a great function!

Months later,

the agent died of illness in the prison camp.

But we didn’t find the list on him.

It must be still in the prison camp.

By now,

many secret agents of Lao Dynasty

have been sent to the prison camp

to find the secret letter.

Here is the thing.

Why did you

tell us about it?

How shall I explain?

Let me put it simply.

In our nation,

there are two houses.

They have

quite many conflicts.

As the officer of the North House,

I’ve been fighting desperately

with the South House.

The Secret Agent Department

is subordinate to the South House?

Exactly.

If they lose power,

we’ll be rising.

You sold out your own agents

just for this?

To live a good life,

one sometimes has to do some dirty things.

He’ll get used to that.

So, you got yourself caught on purpose?

So that you could betray your partners?

You trust him?

So much for this.

Let’s get up.

Everybody.

Hope you’ll succeed.

What else do you want to ask?

If it’s true,

why didn’t you ask the imperial guards

to search the prison camp?

Han Duanzhang’s working with us

is a secret.

If we search it in a big way,

the South House will suspect him.

Why us then?

The fewer people see Han Duanzhang, the better.

In the cabinet, only you met him.

Can it be a trap?

Set a trap

after so much trouble,

just for you, some students?

I have no more questions.

You’re going to the prison camp?

At any time.

Wait a minute.

You just said

the mission about Han Duanzhang was a secret.

How secret is it?

A huge one.

But I’ve already known it.

If I don’t go,

there’ll be troubles, huh?

You can stay alive.

But you will be locked up for a while.

I don’t have a choice, then.

You asked for the truth.

I didn’t force you.

How cunning he is!

Okay. Since you agree to go,

I’ll ask someone

to take you to the prison camp.

I have one requirement.

What is it?

She must take my orders.

Why?

Because I grew up in the countryside

and got on with all kinds of guys.

He tricked me to agree,

just for this, huh?

You know what?

He made some sense.

In the prison camp,

you have to depend on his experience.

I won’t agree if you’re going to far.

Do you think

I like going too far?

I ask her

to stay in the same cell with me.

No way.

How about

discussing about it?

Why must we stay in the same cell?

You might ruin my plan.

Was I born yesterday?

What’s the difference between different argots?

What’s the difference between

pirates and bandits?

How do criminals communicate?

Do you understand any?

If you don’t, stay with me.

But men prisoners and women prisoners

are kept separately.

It’s okay.

Tell them we’re a couple.

It’s normal in the prison camp.

Give them some money.

There were precedents.

Well…

It’s a deal then?

Why was Wang Kuan missing?

No idea.

They just disappeared.

What did others prisoners say?

I’ve asked them.

But no one saw them.

Really?

If so…

Wait a second.

Talk about it later.

You don’t trust me?

In this place,

who can we trust?

You make sense.

Put down your things.

I’ll take you to the quarry for work.

Hurry up!

Okay!

Thank you.

Let’s go.

The warden said

he had asked all other prisoners.

But they didn’t know where Wang Kuan was.

Don’t you feel something wrong?

Wang Kuan and others are alive.

How could they disappear?

Only two possibilities.

So…

All the other prisoners

worked together to lie.

Or…

the warden lied.

Remember what I said.

In this place,

we can trust no one.

So…

What are you doing?

I’m talking to you.

Yuan Zhongxin!

Yuan Zhongxin!

I’m talking to you.

Can’t you hear me?

Lift your feet.

All right.

We can make the bed now.

Is that insecticide?

Yes.

In dark and wet places,

there are many insects.

Why do you have this with you?

I grew up

in a similar place.

People like you live in grand houses.

You don’t understand.

Yuan Zhongxin.

What?

Thank you.

Forget it.

I just want no insects to bite me.

By the way,

I come here,

just to figure out

where Wang Kuan and others are.

And I’ll leave as they come out.

As for the list of crossbow technicians,

go find it if you want.

I don’t care.

I’ll look for the list.

That’s great.

What’s difference

between argots?

What?

You said there were differences between argots

and between pirates and bandits.

Explain to me

and I’ll get prepared.

How do I know?

But you just said…

I was just kidding.

Or how could I convince you?

You can’t believe it, can you?

Idiot!

Stop internal conflicts!

We’re a couple.

If I die, you’ll be a widow.

What are you doing?

How dare you!

Oh, why is the door falling?

What are you laughing at?

Go get the door up.

Damn it!

Stay and work hard.

Don’t be lazy!

Okay, sir.

Dude.

Let me help you.

Have some rest.

Go have some rest.

What are you standing for?

Come and help!

We’re new here.

We must know the rules.

We should work hard.

Have some rest, dude.

Go on.

Go on.

Dudes .

You must be thirsty.

Here.

I bring you some water.

Enjoy it.

Here.

Have some steamed buns.

Don’t bother.

Leave it to us.

Come on, dude.

Have some water.

Some more?

What are you eating?

Please enjoy ours, too.

Have some more.

Here.

Take it.

Have some water.

Here.

What crime did you commit?

To be honest,

we used to work

for a rich family.

Once we stole some porcelains

and our master sued us.

Only stole things?

We didn’t dare to commit bigger crimes.

Whom did you sell the porcelains to?

We sold them to Mr. Ghost

in Xingguo Lane, the old South Gate.

Why didn’t you sell them to Titmouse?

Don’t make fun of me.

The officer cut Mr. Titmouse’s hand, right?

He stopped doing the business.

You’re an insider.

Just to make a living.

We just had bad luck.

Ding Er.

Ding Er.

Ding Er.

Damn it! Are you deaf?!

Coming!

Sorry, I didn’t hear you.

They stole things from their master.

You’re the boss for stealing, huh?

They’re yours.

Oh, okay.

I’ve checked it.

They stole things.

Nothing is wrong.

That’s good, then.

What’s your name?

Yuan.

Hello, Yuan.

Stay away and talk about it.

Okay.

Sorry.

You.

This way, please.

And this is…

This is my wife.

Hello, Mrs. Yuan!

She’s introverted.

She doesn’t like to talk with strangers.

What’s your name?

Oh, Yuan.

Just call me Ding Er.

Ding Er.

You brought me here

and what do you want to tell me?

All of us

had bad luck

and were put into prison.

I just want to ask you.

Who framed us?

But…

We stole things

and were caught.

No one framed us!

Wrong!

What do you mean?

We were framed!

The heaven!

The world!

And the rules!

But I don’t understand.

Well, I didn’t understand, either.

But I did after the communication.

Communication?

With whom?

I’ll come to you tonight.

I’m not a talented guy.

But I can be your guide.

But aren’t we in the cell at night?

You’ll see.

Ding Er.

Be right there.

When will we go and check

where Wang Kuan is.

Not now.

We have to figure out

what they experienced here.

Maybe,

we’ll know tonight.

What does communication mean?

I don’t know, either.

I feel this prison camp

is weird.

I’m in all sweat.

I’ll get changed and sleep.

Remember to change it back before tomorrow morning.

Don’t let anyone see it.

It’s so thoughtful of you.

We’re away from home

and we must be thoughtful.

Here.

It’s clean.

I’ve washed it.

Where did you get it from?

From your bedroom.

Or it won’t fit you.

You stole my clothes?

What do you mean stealing?

I prepared them for you.

You’re the most rascally guy I’ve ever seen!

I’m going to get changed.

That’s why I offered to live together.

If we didn’t,

how could you get changed or sleep safely?

You don’t know whom you’re going to live with.

Am I right?

I don’t feel safe!

Where’s the toilet?

In the corner.

A door here?

What door?

The toilet is in the room?

Yeah, it always is.

Get out.

Tell me.

How can I get out?

You’re not going to the toilet?

No.

I can’t see through the wall.

Shut up!

Hush!

What are you doing?

Someone is coming.

Who?

It’s me, Yuan.

I’m Ding Er.

Why are you out there?

Someone wants to communicate with you.

Would you like to go?

Sure, I do.

But the cell is locked.

How can I get out?

You have a key?

When you come out,

blow out the candle.

Are we going?

Like you said…

We must know what Wang Kuan has experienced.

How about waiting for me here?

I’ll go with you.

Ding Er.

Here is the thing.

My naughty wife.

She wants to go to the toilet.

Let her go.

Go! Hurry!

Okay.

Oh,

why do you have the key?

Come and you’ll know.

I’m done.

Let’s go.

No one is around.

Where is everybody?

Everyone is here in the daytime.

But they’re gone at night.

Where are the guards?

He is a prisoner, too.

Why does he have the key?

What’s wrong?

Am I walking too fast?

No.

We can catch up.

That’s good.

We’re just leaving the cell?

If we run into guards,

we’ll be doomed!

Does it seem like any guards are here?

Are we…

Are we leaving the prison camp?

We can never leave the gate.

Go that way.

That’s the kitchen, huh?

Women prisoners were asked to help in the daytime.

I went there.

It’s the kitchen.

We communicate

in the kitchen?

After all, we’re in the prison camp.

When we gather,

we should be careful, huh?

Let’s go.

It’s the cellar for vegetable storage.

Come on.

We’re already this far.

Come down.

Where are we?

We should walk forward.

Do you think

Wang Kuan is in there?

Who knows?

We’re arriving,

over the corner.

Thank you, dude.

Yuan.

You’re welcome.

I don’t need you to protect me.

The one in the rear is in more danger.

Preacher,

newcomers have come.

Are all prisoners here?

No.

The number is not correct.

Preacher,

there they come.

You must be Yuan, huh?

You’re the preacher?

Yes.

What do you preach then?

Why are there so many people?

Don’t be scared.

I come to you

for communication.

What can we communicate?

We committed crimes and we were in prison.

Yuan.

Do you know what fate is?

Fate?

Whose fate?

Ours.

No matter if we’re exiled,

or punished,

as long as we broke the law,

the tattoo

would be on us.

From now on,

the tattoo of criminal

will remain on us

for the rest of our lives.

In our lives,

we’ll always be thieves.

Do you know why?

What brought us

to this situation?

I don’t know about you.

But for us, we were too greedy.

That isn’t the cause.

Then what is the cause?

Why are you greedy?

Because we’re poor.

You bet!

Why are you poor?

You’re the preacher.

Why do you always ask me?

Because…

In the Song Dynasty,

people are already ranked!

This is our fate.

Are you convinced?

No!

Do you want your children

to live a humble life

just as you do?

No!

Good!

Do you want to change your fate?

Sure, I do.

But how?

It’s an important thing.

I can’t tell you

until you become one of us.

How can I become one of you?

People here

mostly stole things.

I hear you stole things, too?

Exactly.

I wonder

if you’re very experienced

in stealing.

You mean if I’m skilled?

Yes.

And am I quick?

Yes.

Key to the cell?

When did you take it?

It’s mine.

Awesome.

That was great.

You flatter me.

As long as you can steal the weapons of a guard,

you’ll pass the test.

Weapons?

What weapons?

Whatever.

It depends on you.

You mean…

I can be one of you

as long as I steal a weapon?

Yes.

I’ll enjoy the great wealth

and live in a grand house?

Yes.

Why does it sound so unreliable?

It won’t be long

before we break out of the prison camp

and change everything!

We’re doing this,

under the leadership of

the great preacher.

Who are those great preachers then?

Don’t… Don’t talk nonsense!

There are many preachers like me.

But only one great preacher.

He’s the leader of everyone.

If you do a great job in stealing the weapon,

maybe he will

meet you by himself

and give you the answer.

I’ll do my best!

It’s now or never.

You must try hard.
