If I have the money and the power,

will Miss Shen fall in love with me?

She won't.

Why not?

Because you won't have the money or power.

Don't curse me.

I might inherit a lot of money in the future.

Are you cursing your father now?

I said "in the future".

Open the door.

Why are you here?

I have sold your script.

How much will you get?

Two hundred and fifty silver dollars.

Two hundred and fifty?

Give me five!

To whom?

A mafia.

What is his name?

His surname is Bai.

No.

Come on. We can't say no to money, right?

I know you have money, but I don't.

Hey! Open the door!

Do you still want the money or not?

I'll do whatever you want! Mr. Director!

What are you looking at?

Great party last night,

right?

Look this

What's this all about?

Mr. Bai, are you crazy?

Anderson.

Everyone, leave.

Mr. Norman, it's been a while.

This guy was spying on my daughter

and was caught by my men in the act.

He insisted that it was your order.

Do you believe it?

I certainly don't believe it.

With your prestige,

you wouldn't do such a contemptible thing?

So today I brought him here

for you to punish him.

I hope your

reputation won't be sabotaged by such a lowlife again.

Thank you for your kindness.

The one who is involved in the underworld is me.

If you need something, just come to talk to me.

Don't mess with my daughter and her husband.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

Goodbye.

Sorry, I am so sorry.

But they tortured me so hard.

Shut up!

Papaya catfish soup? It smells so god.

Go away.

Still mad at me?

Duh! I worked so hard on that script.

What gives you the right to decide not to sell it?

I didn't say no to sell it forever.

I'm just saying not to sell to my father.

Your pride makes me suffer.

My dad won't spend this money in vain.

He will use the money as a leverage

to force me to go home.

I wish your father could force you to go home soon.

So you will get out of my hair.

Are you really so fed up with me?

I am more than fed up with you now.

I want to kick you out of the house.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience I brought.

Stop it.

Pretending to be a sad little girl won't work on me.

I have grown up being

spoiled by everyone.

But I know

they only do it because of my dad.

It's rare for someone to treat me honestly

and say things he really feels to me.

It makes me feel like

I still have some values in me.

Good acting.

Are you crying?

I am not!

The soup is ready.

Have some soup.

I'm not hungry.

I cooked a large portion.

I can't finish it by myself.

Can you help me to finish it?

Could you please stop that?

I don't hate you, I like you.

Open the door!

[A Wang at the east of fifth row]

Is there anyone surnamed Wang at the east side of the fifth row?

Today is your destined time.

The God's Messenger gets God's guidance to enlighten you.

Come forward.

You have only one child who is under age.

You have chronic diseases and your wife left you.

He can join our society.

God bless us.

God bless us. God bless us. God bless us!

God bless us.

Thy followers shall transcend everything.

I, Wang Ming, is kneeling before the God

seeking for the Ultimate Truth of the universe.

After I am enlightened, I will not disclose the Ultimate Truth to others

and I shall confess my sins and go on my practice.

If I stop my practice, act insincere,

deceive my master, defy the traditions of our society,

or have any other acts that violate the rules, I will be punished by being struck by God-sent lightning.

From now on you will be the 513th follower

of the Laobeimen division of our society.

God is here!

God is here! God is here!

Master, please get the Divine Rope to listen to God's instructions.

[Imprecations]

[Imprecations]

[Imprecations]

[Imprecations]

We have burned half a stick of incense.

You can sincerely pray to the God now.

God bless us. God bless us!

God bless us!

What happened?

Why did he fall off?

How?

What's the matter?

What happened?

He's dead!

Isn't God protecting us?

How could he be dead?

Dear followers!

Please calm down! Don't panic.

This is a very weird accident.

Don't make baseless conjectures!

Listen to me!

Please go home.

Come back tomorrow.

I will definitely give you an answer.

Please, go home.

We don't want to go back!

Excuse me? I don't follow you.

This is our internal affair.

There is no need for the police to intervene.

Besides, the God's Messenger died

in the same way as those who violated the rules of our society.

So he must be punished by God.

He's punished by God? What do you mean?

Take the body.

Wait!

He was the God's Messenger of our society.

I can't let you take him away.

Master, we're officers on duty.

Please step aside.

Punished by God.

You know what this means?

Good for you.

What does it mean?

He upsets God,

so now he's dead. Got it?

What are you doing?

Chanting the Mantra of Rebirth to pray that the dead can rest in peace.

Are you ready?

Bring it.

Thank you.

Want to do it again?

Bring it.

This one?

Open it.

Are you sure?

Open it.

Thank you.

Still want another round?

Yes.

This one?

Or this one?

I'll give you one more chance.

Open it.

Are you sure?

Open it.

Sorry.

This is the last time. Be careful with your choice.

Open it.

Are you sure?

Open it.

Wait.

One last time!

OK, but you have no money.

What can you use as stake?

Wait.

You can sell it for fifty silver dollars in a pawn shop.

I am using it as stake of twenty dollars.

Come again.

I don't think this is right.

Why?

I lost and I admit it. Come again.

OK.

Are you sure? This is the last time.

Wait!

One more time.

OK, but…

Let me move the cups this time.

Fine.

What can you use as your stake?

I get all these things if I win.

If you win, you can get anything you like in my room.

Deal.

Here we go.

Pick one.

This one.

No, no, wait.

Which one exactly?

This…this one.

Are you sure?

This one.

No way.

Kid,

you are still too young

to try to cheat me.

Where did you learn this?

You forgot

what kind of environment I grew up in.

I grew up in a home

which was the miniature of Shanghai.

I met all kinds of people from all walks of life.

Playing this with me is a mistake.

Ma'am!

Leave me two dollars. I am still a young boy.

I am now at the peak of my physical growth.

Right?

I need enough protein

so that I have a balanced nutrition.

I won't have enough food if you take everything away!

Ma'am!

What did you call me? Say that again.

Ma'am!

Today is the fifth.

So?

Chusheng gives out salary to his team on this day every month.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you, Inspector Qiao.

Wait.

Bro, your height reminds me of someone.

Turn around.

It's Mr. Lu.

The rest of you, dismiss.

Let's go!

What brings you here?

Good morning, Inspector Qiao!

Pretending to be a patrol officer to scam money.

Are you fed up with your life as a free man?

No! You see, Halloween is coming!

This is my look for a masquerade.

Amazing, right?

This costume is not amazing enough.

What do you suggest then?

Let me give you one as a gift.

Take him to get changed.

Let's go, Mr. Lu.

Bro, go easy on me!

We're colleagues. This is just for the formality's sake, right?

Hey.

Can't you go easy on me?

We're good pals. Cut me some slack!

This is too much!

Go back and tell Qiao Chusheng!

If he has some balls, lock me down here forever!

Don't let me out in this life!

Keep your voice down. Do you want to get beaten?

What are you looking at? Squat down.

Yes, sir.

Qiao Chusheng, are you crazy?

All my men were present. If I didn't put him in custody,

how am I supposed to discipline them in the future?

I don't care. Release him.

That guy always lives in pleasant surroundings.

What if he gets some disease in the freezing jail

or beaten up by someone?

Who will help you solve cases in the future?

Sorry.

Now that things have gone to this point,

it isn't my call to release him anymore.

Whose call is it then?

Why don't you go to the Municipal Council and talk to the British people?

But I guess they will give him a heavier sentence.

No, of course I can't go to the British people.

Who else can I go to?

Who else do you think

can give me orders

in Shanghai?

Miss!

Miss, you're finally back!

Oh, this is so great.

Just say it. What do you want from me

this time you're home?

Chusheng arrested a friend of mine.

You have friends?

Fine.

Who's that friend of yours?

Lu Yao.

Why did he arrest him?

It was just a misunderstanding.

Chusheng will never arrest people randomly.

He must have a

justified reason to arrest him.

My friend solved many major cases for him!

And yet he still arrested him,

which means your friend

did something seriously wrong.

Do you want me to

say something nice for your friend?

If that's OK with you.

No.

Ok, thank you all the same.

Excuse me.

Stop!

Sit down.

Look at your short temper.

Ms. Wu, call Chusheng and tell him to come to dinner tonight.

No, you have to call him now.

So impatient!

OK. I promise you.

But you must also promise me one thing.

Go ahead.

In the future you will go home once a week.

Forget about it.

Once a month.

Every two weeks.

Deal.

Come on, give me a smile.

Smile!

Can't me hear me?

Just give me a smile.

No. 5478!

Yes, sir.

Someone bailed you out.

Good boy, good boy.

We're going home now.

It's okay.

Take your time. Nobody is fighting with you.

Don't come to me for help anymore.

We don't have any case recently.

So you can just arrest me because this is no case?

Who said there isn't any case?

Have you guys heard about God's Message Society?

Salim just collected a corpse from there.

He was a Taoist.

No, he was a so-called God's Messenger.

According to witnesses,

that person could climb up the clouds along a rope.

But apparently he screwed up this time

and fell from the clouds

and died.

Accident?

No, some divine punishment.

This case is closed.

Why?

He had an accident during the ceremony.

But those fifty witnesses…

Normally we won't file a case unless an individual starts a prosecution.

No, but this time he was punished by God!

It's your business if you want to write an article.

I won't be part of this.

Silly Lu.

Silly Lu,

don't forget who got you out.

Sooner or later you will have to return the favor.

What do you say?

What to do?

What should we do?

I donated all my money.

Everything was given away.

Me, too.

What happened?

Excuse me, what are you looking at?

Right.

The God's Messenger violated the rules

and was punished by God.

News from the Nanjing Headquarter that

they would disband the division.

Just easy like that?

Yes. They just put a notice on the door.

We didn't see any member in the society.

In the morning, Master Danyi said

he would give us an answer tomorrow.

Now great, we didn't see anyone in the society to give us an answer.

Master Danyi

He is the son of the deceased God's Messenger.

And he is the next God's Messenger.

I donated so much money to the society for nothing!

Sorry.

It's OK.

So much money was paid in vain.

So much money.

What should I do?

But as long as I wasn't the one punished by God,

I am fine with the money donated.

That's right.

My wallet is gone.

She ran fast.

She disappeared in a second.

Let's call the police.

Forget it. There is no money in my wallet.

It is difficult to file a case.

I won't go!

Get out of this house

if you disturb my practice again!

The God's Messenger is dead!

Why are you still listen to him?

He must have violated the rules

so he was punished by God.

If I listened to you and went to the doctor,

I would end up with him.

Dad, I'm begging you!

Thief, you are here.

What's my wallet?

What wallet?

Who are you?

Who says you can come in my house?

Are you a member of God's Message Society?

Your daughter steals on the street

trying to save your life.

Is this a violation of the rules?

You…

Dad, I know it's wrong, I am sorry!

You don't have to apologize to him.

You did nothing wrong.

Let's go.

Chusheng.

Why are you two here?

Who is this?

She

is his fiancee.

Bullshit.

Just spit it. What do you want?

I came here to discuss our wedding.

You nuts.

I see.

Go away. You two nuts.

Be a good girl. I need to get down to business for a while.

I'll come in to find you.

You won't stand me up, right?

Don't worry.

If you have anything to say, say it now!

What's up?

You speak first.

You speak first.

Ok, let me talk first.

We have found out that

the God's Message Society has been gaining momentum recently.

Every division

can have more than one thousand new believers per month.

So?

This organization has a strict hierarchy.

You need to pay money to become a believer to attend the worship service.

Then you persuade your relatives and friends

to let them join the society and pay too.

Then you can be enlightened

and become a core member of the society.

The newly joined believers will make others join.

This method sounds familiar to me.

I heard it is a very profitable lubricant business.

The higher level you're in the society,

the more share you can get in the membership fee.

When people hear that they can make money,

everyone goes crazy.

They dare not go after powerful people,

so they only hustle ordinary people.

First they said you did evil deeds in your last life,

so you're suffering in this life.

Then they hustle you into paying money to worship the God

To atone for your sin in your last life.

Then they ask them to persuade more people to join.

Those who cannot get people to join will be reprimanded and punished.

Those believers are afraid of reprimand,

so they can only try everything they can to

pay the membership fee.

This sounds much worse than ordinary scammers.

That's right.

And each division has a God's Messenger who can talk to the God.

In fact, they are just throwing dust in people's eyes.

Just like a magic show.

Their purpose

is to make believers fear the God

and they will follow any orders of the society.

But it's such a large organization.

If the government really wants to do something about them,

it won't be the Concession Police Station's job.

But at least we have to do something.

Is there anyone in charge here?

Yes.

There is one named Li Danyi.

He is the son

of the deceased God's Messenger.

We have found his residence.

OK, let's go get him tomorrow.

Why wait until tomorrow?

Don't you be afraid he will escape over night?

Within a 250 mile radius,

there is no one I can't find.

What?

Where are you going?

I just want to take a look.

You can't. Let's go.

Search the place!

White porcelain from Ding Kiln.

These were royal tributes.

Expensive?

Priceless.

A lot of bric-a-brac in this room

are priceless.

Sir,

we searched it but there is no one.

There is a back door to the yard.

Maybe he ran away from there.

Then follow through the back door

to find any leads.

The rest of you, keep searching!

Yes, sir!

A humble God's Messenger in a division

can lead such a luxurious life.

The head of the headquarters must live in heaven.

Wang Qiming, male, 35 years old.

His 16-year-old son is seriously ill.

He prays God to heal his son.

Li Fen, female, 50 years old.

She prays to get a grandson soon.

She has a lot of relatives and therefore more possibly get money.

This is how they get the so-called God's guidance

to tell background of the believers.

They just did some research in advance.

These are flesh and blood of the people.

What do you plan to do with his stuff?

Confiscate them, of course.

I see.

What?

Anything you like?

Can… Can I?

Of course. Consider it my apology

to you for in prison for a day

It's not a big deal. I wasn't offended.

How about this one?

A string of agate beads in the late Tang Dynasty.

This is too expensive.

If anyone tips it off, we will get a lawsuit for that.

Pick another one.

Why are you still here?

We didn't find the Divine Rope.

Why are you looking for that?

There were so many

valuable things in this house but

he ran away with nothing but just a rope.

Isn't this strange?

Did he want to flee to the Nanjing Headquarters but was

afraid the secrets behind the Divine Rope would be exposed?

First of all,

he could take the rope

and a few valuable items with him

at the same time.

Secondly,

if the God's Messenger's death was an accident,

he just needed to answer some questions of the police.

Why run away?

Unless..

Unless the God's Messenger's death was not an accident.

Someone did something to the rope

and caused the so-called accident.

We need to catch him as soon as possible.

You two split up

to go to the dock and train station to check carefully.

Then contact the Nanjing Police.

If there is news about this case,

send someone there to take over immediately.

Yes, sir!

Let's take a look at his house

to see if there's any other lead.

I did not expect

they even have a back garden.

What are you doing here?

The autograph report of the dead.

Cause of death, falling from height.

It's true he died of falling.

But…

Castration?

So, he was a eunuch in the palace.

That explains why there are so many things in the house that were from the palace.

If he was a eunuch,

Li Danyi is not his real son.

Being a foster son of a eunuch

can be a humiliation to anyone.

Since we can't find the son, let's find the dad first.

There were records when every eunuchs left the palace.

But he definitely changed his name.

Who said anything about tracking down the man?

Check those valuable items.

Let's see

if these items in his house were

on any reward list from the palace to anyone.

And then we can track down the man from the record.

What is this?

Seems to be a cellar.

Hello.

Hello anyone there?

I'm coming down if no one's there.

Forget it.

Why?

It's too dark down there. I got scared.

There might be danger.

Let me call my team then.

They are also humans like you and me!

I think it's better we

go down there when the sun comes out in the morning.

The cellar can't go anywhere, right?

He wants to send us away with an excuse.

He wants to steal.

What can be stolen from such a cellar?

In the house there are already a lot of royal items.

I think more are hidden in the cellar.

Then we…

Let him go.

He will definitely be back in a while.

I'll get someone to be on a stakeout here.

If he steals anything,

we can take him down immediately.

You can't send him to prison again.

Don't worry.

What are you doing?

It's late. Go home to sleep.

Nothing to see here.

Let's go!

Let's go!

Let's go! Go home to sleep.

Found it.

Li Changmeng from Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province.

He left the palace in 1909.

The records of the royal items rewarded to him as gift are

highly consistent with what we found in his house.

It's him.

I think Li Meng was the name he changed

after he left the Place.

These eunuchs who left the palace

held a eunuch's retirement society at a Buddhist temple.

Everyone pays an annual fee of twenty silver dollars.

Li Meng stopped paying since 1914.

And his name was not on this roster.

In other words, he joined the God's Message Society

after leaving the temple in 1914.

So he adopted Li Danyi

sometime after 1914.

But even so,

we still can't find out

who Li Danyi really is.

If Silly Lu was here,

he should have a way to find out.

Where is he?

He didn't go home last night?

I don't think so.

When I left this morning,

He was not at home either.

That means…

Are you alright?

Tell me. What happened?

Didn't you both see it?

When did you go there?

This morning.

What time?

After eight o'clock.

I left at 7:30 and you weren't home.

Seven o'clock then. I got it wrong.

What did you find in the cellar?

Nothing at all.

Send someone to check if you don't believe me?

But why were you locked in that cellar?

I don't want to mention

the unpleasant memory again.

Let me help you remember then.

Last night

you went into the cellar alone in the dark

trying to find some treasures.

You closed the cellar door behind you because you were afraid of being discovered.

But what you never thought was

that handle is made of spring.

A caliper popped out as soon as the door closed

and locked the cellar door.

Locked?

This is a bit strange.

Why?

Why did they

get a door that can't be opened from the inside

since there is nothing in the cellar?

Where are you going?

That little girl who stole my wallet.

Mr. Lu.

How's your father's situation? Is there any improvement?

The doctor said the problem was not with his lung.

Fortunately, we went to see the doctor in time and it can still be cured.

You should have done it earlier.

Instead of believing in superstitious things,

it's better to believe in humans, right?

You're right.

I realized

the society is nothing but deceptive tricks

after Li Meng died.

Master Danyi reminded me before

but I didn't take his words seriously.

What did he remind you?

Last month he saw that I had a bad cough

so he advises me in private to go to the hospital.

But Li Meng overheard it

so he scolded and beat him in front of me.

He said that he only adopted him

more than ten years ago because

he was an orphan after his whole family was killed in a fire.

So he adopted Li Danyi at least ten years ago.

When Li Meng adopted Li Danyi,

it should be sometime between 1914 and 1916.

The fire is also a clue.

Did they mention the time of the fire?

No. He only mentioned this

and I don't know if it was true.

Do you know how old Li Dan is?

He will turn twenty in two months.

I know it because Li Meng said when he turned twenty,

he would enlighten him

and teach him how to communicate with God.

Go looking for

a fire that killed the whole family

which happened in Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas

sometime between 1914 to 1916.

The only survivor of the family

was a boy, 9 or 10 years old.

Check it now.

Inspector Qiao.

Investigation is important.

But your health is more important.

We have special snake stew today.

This is a good tonic. Get some.

I'll pass.

Snake stew is a good thing.

The snake meat is nourishing, and the gall is good for your eyes.

What snakes do you have？

All good stuff. Do you want to take a look?

Sure, let's go!

After you.

Quite fat.

Don't look at me.

I'll eat you if you keep staring at me.

Watch out.

It's alright.

Still watching?
