Episode 24

Psych-Hunter

Everyone.

Raise your cups.

After this feast,

all your troubles will be in the past.

We'll happily enter the Palace of Bliss.

From then onwards,

you'll live in paradise.

Cheers.

Come.

Eat up.

Feast.

Help yourself over there too.

What's wrong, Young Master Qin?

Is there something wrong

with the food

we have prepared?

No, it's not the food.

I'm just not used

to a hearty breakfast.

This can't do.

I've said earlier.

If you want to enter Palace of Bliss,

you have to obey the rules.

All beings are equal in Palace of Bliss.

Everyone is entitled to happiness in life.

This feast is to reflect

that all beings are equal.

If you insist on not eating,

I'm afraid Palace of Bliss

can't receive you.

Chief Yan.

Don't mind him.

He's a doctor with OCD.

Look.

If he doesn't want to eat,

I'll eat them on his behalf.

If the meal is too hearty,

maybe just try some vegetables.

They're light

and refreshing.

You...

Aren't you...

Just call me Hunchback Liu.

Where are we going?

Palace of Bliss.

Do you always

use this route?

Yes.

I fetch people

to and from Palace of Bliss.

Does this river have a name?

This is just a regular river.

I don't know its name.

Hunchback Liu.

What are these lamps for?

Welcome to Palace of Bliss.

I'll lead the way.

A hidden space

under an ordinary cottage.

They all have six fingers.

This must be the den

of the Yan Clan.

Let's go.

Everyone.

Please enter.

Mu Qing.

You came prepared.

When I was at Su Min's house,

I found pages on gas poisoning

from his medical books

were torn off.

I already suspected this would happen.

Why are they

sitting in a circle?

I don't know.

Let's try to wake them up.

Master Luo.

Master Luo.

Mr Jiang.

Mr Jiang.

The poison has entered their core.

Jiang Suo, try using your coins

to enter their psych for clues.

Eat this.

Gou Sheng.

Here.

Drink up.

I don't want this.

Have some.

You are here.

Let's eat and drink.

Enjoy yourselves.

Everything's on me.

No, thanks.

Do you need money?

Just tell me if you need money.

I have all the money in the world.

Thank you for your offer.

But we don't need money.

What do you want then?

Not these two though.

I can't share them with you.

Don't worry.

We don't want them too.

I succeeded.

I got the top scholarship.

All my hard work didn't go to waste.

Thank heavens.

Thank heavens.

Fan Jin passed the imperial examination?

This is just daydreaming.

He's still living in the past.

This is weird.

Why can we see other people's fantasies

in the beggar's Psych?

No, these fantasies

belong to the beggar.

He knows

everyone's desires

and projects them here.

We also heard them talking

at the inn, didn't we?

But I think

other people's psych

probably looks like this too.

Effortless.

Well,

this so-called Palace of Bliss seems like

a place for people to fantasize.

Through fantasies,

they can get whatever

they normally can't have.

Come catch me.

Daddy is coming to catch you.

Are you ready?

I caught you, my son.

I won.

You are great, my daughter.

You've been playing all day.

Let your father rest.

-I'm fine. -Drink some water.

As long as I can be with all of you,

the world can burn for all I care.

Stop talking nonsense.

Qin Er.

When we wake up later,

should we wake them up

and tell them this is not real?

It feels cruel though

to wake them up.

It would be really cruel

if we don't wake them up.

They depend on drugs

to keep feeling happy and satisfied.

If this prolongs,

not only their health is jeopardized,

their lives will be at stake too.

Hence we must find the mechanism

that emits the drug.

That silhouette looks like...

Qin Er, look.

These people

are crazier than before.

This lamp

must be the mechanism.

The dosage is too high.

We have to leave.

Qin Er, look.

It's there.

Let's have a closer look.

This must be the drugging mechanism.

Yes. Now

we have to find out who is behind this

to work out the antidote for them.

Seeing them like this,

I'm afraid Yuan Mu Qing may be in danger.

We have to hurry.

Jiang Suo.

We might find something

if we follow this bug.

Su Min.

Mr Jiang.

What happened to you?

Mr Jiang.

Master Luo, what happened?

He's alive.

I'll get help.

So many villagers came to Palace of Bliss.

Those who disappeared have all ended up here.

Wang Fu.

Uncle Jin.

You know them?

They are the rich and powerful in Changshanzhou.

They disappeared long ago.

I thought they were connected

to the disappearance of my father.

It seems

they are all here.

I think they still have no idea

that Palace of Bliss

is just a mirage.

Did you realize that

as we go further in,

the people we see

are weaker?

The murderer is really cruel.

He is sucking the life out of these people.

They are all wearing a red string.

The bodies buried behind the mountain

may have met the same fate.

We have to hurry.

Jiang Suo.

The bug stopped here.

There must be something in there.

If I'm not mistaken,

the drug-making room must be here.

We have to break the lock.

Why bother?

Let's go in.

Mu Qing.

Mu Qing.

You are...

Liu Qing.

Qin Yi Heng.

Why are you here?

Have you seen a girl that looks like you?

Who are you talking about?

She's the young lady of Yuan Mansion.

Her name is Yuan Mu Qing.

-There you go. -No, I have not.

Let's get you up first.

Come.

Why did you come here?

What happened?

Liu Qing.

We can only help

if you tell us what happened.

I was kidnapped.

You were kidnapped?

When I first returned to the country,

I bumped into a gangster on the street.

He was in pain

due to overdosing.

I studied medicine in England.

All I think about is saving people.

So I went up to help him.

I didn't know that

a man and a woman in the crowd were watching me.

They realized I knew medicine

so they asked me to look into a new medicinal plant.

They brought me here

and forced me

to make drugs.

Do you know

who they are?

The woman is called Madam Mei.

I don't know the name of the man.

But I heard the woman call him

Chief.

Chief and Madam Mei.

So they are behind this.

They use the drug I made

to make money.

Those who came to this Palace

were addicted to the drug.

They forced me to make the drug everyday

and add it into the lamps.

This drug is strong.

Once a person is addicted to it,

he won't be able to abstain from it

even with all the money he has.

I have sinned.

Don't say that.

You did it against your will.

Even if the world feels I am wronged,

it doesn't change anything.

According to the law,

this is a capital offence.

You better get out of here.

Don't let them know you were here.

If they find out that

you know their secrets,

they are capable of doing anything.

It's fine.

We're not afraid.

You've been locked up here for so long.

Haven't you thought of escaping or fighting back?

I have to make the drug everyday.

I'm never allowed to leave this cottage.

Of course I want to escape.

I always dream of escaping.

I want to see Su Min badly.

A few days ago,

I finally duped them into believing me.

I escaped

and ran for so long.

But this place is surrounded by hills.

I lost my way.

I saw a light

and kept running towards it.

But they finally caught up

and were right behind me.

I couldn't put others at risk.

I could only gesture for help.

Mu Qing said she saw

a woman in white wearing a red string.

So that was you.

Qin Er.

Do you think Mu Qing

-might be... -Don't jump to conclusions.

She'll be fine.

The woman you're talking about...

How did she disappear?

Well,

we met Su Min

at the village entrance.

Miss Yuan.

-Chief Yan. -Why are you here?

I came along with Su Min.

He was acting strange.

Did you see the people out there?

They had lost consciousness.

But I don't know the reason.

Chief Yan, why are you also here?

I know where Su Min is.

Follow me.

Su Min is a good guy.

He must be here to save me.

Liu Qing.

I believe in Su Min's character.

But he disappeared too.

We looked all over this place

but we didn't see him.

I think Su Min

must be looking for you in this place.

The most important thing now

is to find the two culprits.

Only then can we ensure the safety of Mu Qing

and save everyone from this place.

But I really don't know where they are.

I'm locked in this room all the time.

After I failed to escape,

they don't even let me

refill the lamps any more.

Refill the lamps?

If they don't let you do it,

who is doing it now?

Chief has been coming here to collect the drugs.

They don't trust you any more.

So he's doing it himself.

Let's wait for them

at the place they refill their lamps.

We can surely catch them there.

Liu Qing.

Can you take us

to where the lamps are refilled?

Don't worry.

Everything will be fine.

We really need your help.

Alright.

I'll take you there.

-Go in. -Let me go.

-Let me go. -Sit down.

-Miss Yuan, why are you here? -Su Min.

You let her go.

She doesn't know anything.

What did you say?

She doesn't know anything?

You're wrong.

She knows a lot.

She knows what happened to the people who entered Palace of Bliss.

She also knows you dug an underground tunnel to this place.

Are you crazy?

You locked all of us in here.

What do you want?

I'm not crazy.

In fact,

I'm the only sober person

in Palace of Bliss.

♫ Palace of Bliss ♫

-♫ is my cash cow ♫ -Su Min, what is happening here?

Miss Yuan.

I'm sorry.

I didn't expect you to follow me.

Actually I've been disguising as a farmer

for many years now.

I dug this underground tunnel

to find my fiancee, Liu Qing.

I didn't expect to drag you into this.

Why didn't you say earlier?

It's because

you are a police officer.

I can't let anybody know

Liu Qing is involved.

If I saved her

but had to turn her in,

all that I have done

will be meaningless.

How's everything out there?

Two more victims?

The fire on the first floor went out.

Nothing goes well today.

The two new guys

are still not found.

I think

something is not right.

Those two guys won't be able to

get out of Palace of Bliss.

Don't worry about the fire.

I brought up the drugs.

You just relax yourself.

I'll refill the lamps.

I'll do it.

Keep an eye on these two.

I don't want any more trouble.

Don't worry, my dear.

Criminal Profile of Changshanzhou Police Station

Murder.

Robbery.

Why does this sound familiar?

And there's also Lu Mei

who is said to be Lin Yi Long's mistress.

This woman is a martial artist.

She's connected to many deaths too.

They're both wanted by police in many counties

but are still at large.

They've been lying low for the past five or six years now.

They're not an easy catch.

Gather the men.

Yes, sir.

Come with me.

The lamps up here

will ensure the drug flows through the pipes below.

Every noon,

I'll refill the lamps here.

I was right.

The moment I came here,

I knew there's something about these lamps.

That Hunchback Liu just ignored me.

Look at you two.

Are you trying to save the damsel in distress?

Liu Qing.

You're really naive.

You're the naive one, Madam Mei.

You're a bloodsucking vampire.

Enough with the nonsense.

Qin Er.

With these Daan herb,

our vagrant life

is taking a turn for the better.

With a little processing

on these treasures,

there will be no end to our wealth.

We'll start over with our life

and build our own world here.

We don't have to live in hiding any more.

Anything you want.

Tell me. Where is Mu Qing?

Who is your lover?

Is he Chief Yan?

Why bother knowing?

You're never going to leave this place.

What are you talking about?

I could keep you locked in your dreams.

Jiang Suo.

We're taking too long out here.

We can't attract any attention.

We must find a place to hide.

Let's go.

You little brats.

Is this how you treat a lady?

You're no lady.

Where is Mu Qing?

And about your crimes...

Did Liu Zhi order you to do it?

Who is Liu Zhi?

The Yan Clan.

Stop feigning innocence.

Well, there was indeed a masked man.

He told us about Yan Clan treasures here.

So we came.

Treasures?

The treasures you meant

are these Daan herbs?

How did you know?

Did you come here

for the herbs too?

I'm asking you.

Who is

that masked man?

I have no idea.

This is the Yan Clan village

but we've never seen anyone of them.

Not even the masked man after that.

You better come clean with me

or I'll turn you in right now.

I have been curious about

the reason you came here.

So now,

since you know about the Daan herb,

I can't let you go.

Well, in that case

I should be the one initiating this negotiation.

Do you want to know where Miss Yuan is?

What do you mean?

All along you were just trying

to trick us into talking.

You must have planned this ahead.

Where is she?

This young man seems smarter.

You're right.

What about Su Min?

I've locked them up.

Your love-stricken fiance

dug an underground tunnel to save you.

He must have a death wish.

And so does Miss Yuan.

They're eager to meet their maker.

I won't run off any more.

Please let Su Min go.

Okay. My hands are hurting.

Let me go first.

Alright.

Let's talk outside.

Jiang Suo.

Liu Qing, don't be fooled by her.

She has hostage but so do we.

We can ask to exchange hostages.

How?

They have two hostages but we only have one.

She is a martial artist.

Chief Yan may be a tough nut too.

It'll be difficult

to exchange two hostages for one.

What should we do?

If we leave Su Min to them,

he won't survive.

It hurts so bad.

Stop acting.

My old injury flared up while fighting with you earlier.

You don't know how important I am.

If I die,

all your plans will go down the drain.

Liu Qing, take a look at her.

Call us

if you need help.

Alright.

Don't try to pull anything.

Liu Qing.

Su Min and you

must be lovers.

I can tell.

He came to this village because of you.

He knew we started to suspect him

and he couldn't enter this place openly,

so he dug an underground tunnel.

If a guy did all that for me,

I've nothing more to ask for in life.

Look at you.

You should've told me earlier.

I'm also a woman.

I understand your longings.

I can tell that the two guys out there

are only here for Miss Yuan.

They won't care about you and Su Min.

Why don't you

work with me?

If you help me,

I'll ask Chief Yan to release Su Min.

You two can leave this place together.

Think about it.

These past years, you've been

making and administering drugs.

How many have died because of you?

How many is in living hell now

because of you?

Even if you leave this place,

people will come after you.

If you run off with Su Min,

would you be able to live a happy life?

There is never a clear line between good and evil.

This place

belongs to you and us.

It naturally includes Su Min too.

This is our place.

You should know what you have to do?

Is everything alright?

You can come in now.

Did she try to pull anything?

No.

She wouldn't dare.

Two little brats

trying to outsmart me?

Tie them up.

Then I'll take you to Su Min.

The Earthly Inn

This is Dr Qin's car.

They must be somewhere near.

Start the search party.

Yes, sir.

Listen up.

Break into groups and start searching.

Yes, sir.

You, come with me.

Sergeant, we found a male body in a nearby house.

He died of poisoning.

The forensics are looking into it.

-Did you find anyone alive? -Not yet.

-Continue searching. -Yes, sir.

Sergeant, we found some villagers.

They don't know anything.

They may not be involved.

Take them in for interrogation.

Yes, sir.

Start walking.

Sir.

We found bodies behind the hills.

Speak up.

There are about 40 to 50 bodies.

Early analysis by forensics says that they died of poisoning.

Take me to the hills.

You don't have to go there.

The bodies have been brought here

for further investigation.

Tell everyone to

keep their guard up.

The suspects may carry poison

and may have taken hostages.

Safety first at all times.

-Yes, sir. -Go now.

Sergeant, we found this in the inn.

Yin River?

-Su Min. -Liu Qing.

You're really here.

I finally found you.

Madam Mei, why did you bring her here?

Where are the two guys?

Thanks to Liu Qing.

We caught them.

They're in the drug-making room.

They're no longer a threat.

You evil woman.

If anything happens to them,

I'll never let you go.

What do you want?

Kill me if you dare.

Great.

Your wish is my command.

Madam Mei.

Don't be mad.

Why don't we

keep her alive?

We have caught the two guys.

Why should we let her live?

She...

She can be our lab rat.

You mean

test our drugs on her?

She

and the two guys

can be used to test

my new drugs.

This is a good idea.

You were against it when we asked you to make new drugs.

Now you understand the benefit of working with us.

I'm glad you realized this.

Quick. Show us your new drugs.

They're downstairs.

I just finished processing them.

The hallucination effect is stronger.

So is the addiction.

It's better than the previous drugs.

Liu Qing.

You are on this with them?

Su Min.

Stop blabbering.

You're now my lab rats.

-Don't touch me. -Leave her alone.

Su Min.

Don't touch me.

Liu Qing.

I don't know you any more.

-What are you doing? -Stop struggling.

Su Min.

I'm sorry.

Don't touch me.

The Earthly Inn

Stop.

Who is this?

He's a villager from Yan Village.

We saw him at the village entrance.

What's your name?

I don't have a name.

People call me Hunchback Liu.

What's with those shoes?

He says he's a boatman.

When we found him,

he's not wearing any shoes.

So we gave him a pair.

This area is surrounded by hills.

Where is your boat?

I'm asking you a question.

I'll answer.

I'll tell you.

You can't find any river here.

But deep in the forest,

you can find one there.

My boat

make trips along that river.

Does the river reach a place

called Palace of Bliss?

You know that place too?

Is that Yin River?

I heard people call it that.

Take Hunchback Liu

-to Yin River. -Yes, sir.

Gather all the men.

Sir.

We have to go up the hill.

This place doesn't seem to have a river.

Follow him.

Everyone follow closely.

This place is secluded.

No wonder we never found this.

It's all behind the forest.

Sir.

Please get on the boat.

Do you know Lin Yi Long?

I don't know him.

How about Yan Si Nan?

Many villagers have the surname Yan in this Yan Village.

But I never heard of this name before.

Stop feigning innocence.

Speak.

Sir.

I'm just a boatman.

I really don't know anything.

Get moving.

Yes.

The rest take the other boat.

Yes.

This way.

Go in.

Wait. Where are they?

Get out of here.

Jiang Suo.

Lead the way.

Mu Qing.

Stay out of this.

Madam Mei, help me.

You tricked me.

Liu Qing.

Trust me.

Jiang Suo and I

will save them both.

Madam Mei, behind you.

Yi Long.

You will pay for this.

Yi Long.

Liu Qing.

I misunderstood you.

Su Min.

Stay with me.

Don't cry.

I'm happy

to have found you.

Su Min.

Stay with me.

I'm a doctor.

I know

I won't make it.

The red string...

As long as you wear the red string...

No matter where you are,

I'll be able

to find you.

Look at this wool I bought.

Isn't it pretty?

Maybe I can use this

to make you a hat.

Or maybe a scarf.

Liu Qing.

All I want is you.

Liu Qing.

No matter where you are,

as long as you wear this red string,

I'll definitely be able to find you.

Let them wear these.

What are these for?

I've marked them.

The knots represent

the level of poisoning.

It helps in medication adjustment.

Su Min.

Where are you?

You will find me, won't you?

You will save me,

won't you?

Liu Qing.

I know it's you.

I know you're alive.

Su Min.

Let's stay together forever.

Yes.

Su Min.

Su Min.

Su Min!
