Never Say Never

Episode 18

Mr. Gu,

why did you come at this late hour?

We were free so we came to see you.

How’s it going?

Mr. Gu,

I’m researching day and night.

I can’t rush it.

I’m just curious. I wasn’t rushing you.

Mr. Gu, don’t worry.

No way will I hold you up.

Fang Mo,

what’s the matter with your leg? Were you hurt?

In order to save me,

he was hurt again.

Professor, when you’re not so busy,

perhaps you can

make a suit of armor for him.

You’re so good at joking, Mr. Gu.

You two are sturdy and lucky.

You won’t need that.

Fang Mo,

you’re simply indestructible.

Okay, joking apart.

Someone has placed an order for the pills. Ten thousand.

Really?

That’s great.

I said good things will definitely have a good market.

How long will it take?

Two months.

I’ll give you a month.

Make it as many as you can.

Okay, I’ll do my best.

I’ll ask Xia to get the raw materials.

If you need anything else,

just tell Fang Mo directly.

Got it.

If there is nothing else, go on with your work.

Brother Tao,

the pills were

so soon ordered.

Is it Mr. Tuo?

Exactly. He’s even deposited.

You must keep a close watch on this batch of goods.

We’ll get the funds

as long as this order is done.

We’ve been in dire straits recently.

We gotta keep the money in our own hands.

Rest easy, Brother Tao.

Yu Zhenshan that black sheep

just insisted on doing that.

Well, then

I was humiliated

and had to pay for it dearly.

If we keep doing business like this,

Gu Tao is sure to run riot.

Mr. Tuo,

are you really gonna buy ten thousand pills?

We’ve put down

such a great amount of deposit.

It’s done too much damage to us.

I’m afraid if anything happens,

we won’t be able to stay afloat.

What should we do then?

You saw it.

I took the money there

and apologized to him today.

Gu Tao even didn’t have a look at it.

If I don’t do this,

can we still stay in Canglan?

Why don’t we involve Qi Ke again?

How?

His relationship with Gu Tao is so stormy now.

Neither of them will give in.

I’ve had it as their peacemaker.

What if we give half of the goods to them?

Yes! How could I not think of that?

Qi Ke is short of goods now.

If we give half of them to him,

his problem will be solved

and I don’t have to spend so much money.

Good idea.

Excuse me.

Come in.

Commissioner Han,

these are the documents

the Canglan police sent us today.

What are they about?

Yu Zhenshan died.

Yu Zhenshan died?

Yes.

How?

ME reported that it’s a bullet wound.

It should be a vendetta between gangsters.

I see.

Leave me.

Yes.

Hello.

Director Zhou?

Okay, I’ll be right there.

Chudong,

plus the man that was found today,

there were really

too many murder cases in Canglan in the past six months.

It really can’t

drag on anymore.

Director Zhou, I’ve reported it to you before.

The man I planted in this drugs ring

has been close to its linchpin.

But before Luo Fei sacrificed herself,

she sent word that

the linchpin of this drugs ring

is hiding abroad.

I’ve made arrangements

to elicit the biggest supplier

of this drugs ring.

That’s a good idea

but plans are needed

when you’re fighting a battle.

When are you going to pull the net?

Well,

I think it’s still too early now.

We can’t act in haste.

The deadline will be a month later.

You gotta detain those who are abroad

or arrest this gang at home before that.

Director Zhou.

Chudong,

I think

there’s no need to talk about it anymore.

That’s that.

Alright, Director Zhou.

Okay, get back to your work.

Okay, I’m off.

Mr. Tuo.

Have a seat. Please.

Mr. Tuo,

you came here so early in the morning.

Is there something urgent?

I have something good to tell you.

But I don’t think

anything good will ever happen to me now.

Brother Qi,

is that to say you’re still angry with me?

No, no, I’m not.

Here’s the thing.

Recently Brother Gu

has developed a new product called Sugar Pill.

To date,

it is sold best in Hong Kong.

Young people all love it

and it’s exactly the reason

why I came to Canglan.

I talked with Brother Gu

and he really has the source of it.

I also saw the finished product

and had it tested.

It’s really out of the ordinary

and better than that in Hong Kong.

It’s highly addictive and hard to be detected.

Even if I take it back to Hong Kong myself,

there won’t be any problems.

I told him

I would take five thousand pills first.

He readily accepted.

But then I thought

you may need it too.

So I asked for five thousand more of it.

At first, he refused

and talked about those problems he had.

I wore out my tongue

and finally he agreed.

What do you think?

Am I a good brother?

Mr. Tuo,

the new product you just talked about...Is it called Sugar Pill?

I’ve never heard of it.

Gu Tao has always

bought goods from his overseas suppliers

and he’s been selling the purest heroin.

Why is he suddenly

selling this stuff?

Brother Gu has his own ways of doing things.

I couldn’t ask him too many questions.

But as long as the goods are good,

we can just never mind where he gets them,

right?

Then is he

short of money or what?

He’s willing to sell good things to me?

When has he ever been short of money?

Here’s the thing.

I didn’t say that they were for you

because I know

you’re on bad terms

because of what happened before.

I’ve paid for the extra five thousand

pills for you.

You don’t need to thank me.

It’s for the good of both of us.

Brother Qi,

why don’t you let bygones

be bygones?

The most important thing now

is to make our business boom again.

That’s serious.

Mr. Tuo,

by rights I should really thank you

because you’ve paid for

the extra five thousand pills for me.

But then again,

though it’s so good,

I even haven’t seen it yet.

That’s easy to deal with. I brought a sample here.

Sen Long, show Mr. Qi.

Mr. Tuo, let me

consider it for a few days.

I’ll check it, okay?

No problem.

Brother Qi, just rest easy and use it.

I’m off.

See you.

Boss.

Ba,

have it tried quickly

and see if it’s

really that good.

Okay.

Boss, Gu Tao is really something

and resourceful.

He can even get such a new drug.

By the way,

send some brothers

to watch Gu Tao for the next few days.

I wanna know

what he’s doing.

Boss,

why? We’re gonna rob him again?

Are you stupid?

Didn’t you hear what Tuo Sifang said?

Gu Tao has been making this drug himself recently.

Don’t believe his nonsense.

Gu Tao doesn’t have that ability.

Of course he doesn’t.

If I guess right,

he must have a place

to develop new products.

I see.

You mean

if we follow them,

we’ll find the place where they produce drugs.

And then we can

control Gu Tao.

Brilliant.

You finally got me.

Brother Tao, you wanna see me?

The raw materials for Professor Zhao are here.

Take them to him

and ask him to

hurry up with this batch of goods.

Okay, I’ll go now.

In order to save me,

he was hurt again.

Okay, joking apart.

After you receive it,

find somewhere safe

and hide it there.

It concerns my life.

No.

My wife has been being watched.

Okay.

Call me once you receive it.

Professor, are you going out?

Fang Mo, what brought you here?

Brother Tao said

a batch of raw materials arrived today

and asked me to take them to you.

Where are you going? Let me take you.

Oh, I’m going nowhere special.

Are you gonna send something?

Get in the car. I’ll take you.

Quickly.

Professor, what are you sending?

Nothing.

Why are you so nervous?

I won’t take it from you.

I’m not nervous.

My...My wife insists on immigrating

and needs my materials.

I’m sending them to her.

Mrs. Zhao is immigrating?

Yes, to the US.

Then can they

get used to life there?

And you can

seldom see each other, right?

Yes, yes.

Turn right at the crossing. There’s a post office there.

That will do.

Wait for me here.

Okay, there’s no hurry.

Important documents. Don’t get it wet.

Dude,

it’s quite important. Don’t lose it.

Don’t worry.

We’ve never lost anything.

What kind of attitude is that?

You’re unhappy with what I said, right?

Fang Mo, Fang Mo,

let’s go.

Don’t...Don’t argue with him.

Don’t argue with him.

Calm down. Calm down.

Professor, I’ll stop here.

Brother Tao said that

you gotta hurry up with this batch of goods.

Okay, okay, I’ve got it.

A month.

I’ll try my best.

I’m off.

Thanks.

Dude, remember me?

Why did you come again?

What else do you wanna send?

Could you give me back the packet

my brother and I just sent?

We’re not sending it.

Why?

Are you really afraid that we’ll lose it?

No.

My brother was so careless that

he took the wrong documents.

We gotta change them.

Wait a minute. I’ll look for it.

Is it this one?

Yes, it is.

Thanks.

Boss,

I finally got good news today.

Okay, I’ll be right back.

Commissioner Han.

How’s it going?

I got a packet Zhao Haoran

sent to his friend

who’s out of town.

There are records of

his trade with Gu Tao

and chemical equations of the new type of drug.

He should be holding them back from Gu Tao.

By the way,

I’ve brought

the packet to Brother Wu.

Good job.

With those records,

I can send someone

to check their bank accounts.

And those equations

will play a

vital role

in cracking

this new type of drug.

Gu Tao wanna manufacture

this type of drug

and sell them to Tuo Sifang to transport them to Hong Kong.

If we crack the method

of making this drug,

can we stop them?

It’ll be

a restriction on their funds.

His amusement center

will definitely fail to open.

Correct.

I’ll have it researched immediately.

By the way,

I got news from the Canglan police that

Yu Zhenshan died.

Yes, I was about to tell you.

That night after I gave you the report,

Gu Tao took us

to see the amusement center.

Yu Zhenshan wanted to kill Gu Tao

and was executed by Sen Long.

I even protected Gu Tao from being attacked then.

And finally

he stopped cold-shouldering me.

You were hurt again? Was it serious?

I was alright.

I was just hit lightly.

Let me reiterate it. Be careful.

As for Gu Tao,

we can’t delay anymore.

This gang throw their weight around in Canglan.

They’re simply lawless.

Today Director Zhou made it clear that

we must

winkle the mastermind out in a month

or he’ll give orders to arrest them.

Then

the situation will be beyond our control.

Fang Mo, I know you are hurt

but you must speed things up.

As quickly as possible.

It’s so urgent?

I’ll try to buy time here.

I count on you to complete this task.

Okay, got it.

I gotta hang up now.

I have to go to the post office

and send his packet.

Otherwise they’ll suspect me.

Okay, go quickly.

Boss,

I’m back.

Guess what I found.

Spit it out. I’m in no mood for guessing it.

I followed Fang Mo to the suburbs today.

He picked up a middle-aged man

who’s plainly dressed

and doesn’t seem to be in our profession.

They then went to a post office.

That should be the man.

Boss,

after they went back there,

Fang Mo went to the post office again

and took the packet away.

Fang Mo

has his own scheme.

Boss, I’ve had the pill tried.

It’s good.

Ba,

I think

it’s time for us to see that talent.

Well done, boy,

you finally did a good job.

I’ll arrange for it.

Do you remember the place?

Sure.

Okay.

The ten thousand pills

are our first great deal.

Fang Mo,

go to Professor Zhao’s lab

more frequently.

Watch the pace

and beware of outsiders.

Brother Tao, what do you mean?

He’s our treasure now

and nothing should go wrong.

I see.

Have the authorities approved?

I’m contacting our connections.

It may take a longer period of time.

You gotta hurry.

Do you need Fang Mo to help you?

No, I can handle it myself.

Okay, remember what you said.

Mr. Tuo is watching this.

Don’t make me lose face.

Rest easy, Brother Tao.

You...

Say nothing

and come with us.

-What are you doing? -Go!

What are you doing?!

-Go! -Let go of me!

Let...

Where are we going?

I’m not going.

What are you gonna do to me?

What are you gonna do?

Let go!

Who are you? Why did you catch me?

Where are we going?

Go!

Where are we going?

Let me introduce myself.

I’m the boss of this tea factory.

My name is Qi Ke.

Qi Jiguang is my ancestor.

Mr. Qi,

I...I’m a chemistry teacher.

I don’t know

why you brought me here.

Then you gotta answer me first.

You’re a chemistry teacher.

How could you be related to

someone like Gu Tao?

I...I don’t know the man you’re talking about.

It didn’t matter that you denied it.

But as far as I know,

you’re developing

a new type of drug for him,

Sugar Pill.

I’ve even had it here.

I invited you here

with no ill intentions.

I just wanna cooperate with you.

I really don’t know what you’re talking about.

How much does Gu Tao pay you?

I’ll increase it by thirty percent.

Aren’t you doing that for money?

If there are any conditions, just say them.

Don’t keep your mouth shut.

Stop ignoring us

or I’ll kill you. You believe that?

Ba,

don’t be so rude.

Sorry, Professor Zhao.

My brother has a short temper.

You and I are similar.

We’re both educated and cultured

and different from Gu Tao and his men.

That gang are all mobsters.

Including Qi Xia and Fang Mo.

They’re all

so boorish.

Speaking of Fang Mo,

you may not know yet.

That guy is gonna harm you.

You went to the post office to send something today.

He replaced your packet.

Are you gonna send something?

Get in the car. I’ll take you.

Professor, what are you sending?

I said he’s dishonest.

That’s it.

I believe you know what kind of people you are working with.

You have to look out for them and live in fear every day.

What’s the need?

I respect talents.

If we cooperate,

you’ll have complete freedom

and plenty of space.

What do you think?

How do you want us to cooperate?

Professor Zhao,

I know

you’re a capable man

and a high-ranking intellectual.

There are so many good things in your brain

but you have to serve under Gu Tao

and do the hard work.

That’s unfair.

If you come here

and work with me,

you’ll have assistants.

Anyway, if you want anything,

just tell me.

I’ll absolutely satisfy you.

And then

you’ll produce drugs in my tea factory.

What do you say?

Mr. Qi,

to tell the truth,

Mr. Gu is quite nice to me

but Fang Mo...

I don’t know why

but he...He annoys me.

It seems that he wanna steal my formulas.

Professor Zhao,

consider this.

What if

I dispose of Fang Mo for you?

No, no, no,

I...I didn’t mean that.

My wife and my child

are under Mr. Gu’s control.

Really?

Gu Tao is doing

such a shameless thing?

What a bastard!

Professor Zhao,

if we work together,

I can guarantee

the safety of Mrs. Zhao and your child.

Thank you.

Professor Zhao,

let’s work together happily.

Why didn’t we meet each other earlier?!

Hey, have you received it?

Check carefully

if it’s my handwriting on the form.

I’ve got it.

Let me repeat it.

You must hide it well for me.

Boss.

You took him back there?

Were you found?

Just have faith in me.

It’s really well done. I gotta praise you.

Boss,

didn’t you wanna draw Fang Mo in before?

Are we really

gonna help Professor Zhao dispose of him now?

I was cheating the pedant. Did you believe that?

I won’t do that for him

unless he gives me enough interests.

If he really wanna

work with us,

that will be great.

Then we can produce and sell

drugs by ourselves in Canglan,

without any transportation problems

and no need to rely on Gu Tao.

Then we’ll just need to pick one between

disposing of him alone

and together with Gu Tao.

But if Professor Zhao

fools me

and doesn’t cooperate with us,

then we can

make use of Fang Mo.

Then what should we do next?

Send some brothers

to keep a watch on Professor Zhao.

If there are any changes,

tell me at once.
