[Under the Skin]

[Episode 6]

Back in the day, a talented portrait artist suddenly disappeared.

Seven years later, he appeared in our department to post news on our blackboard.

Are you trying to be a sweeper monk? (T/N: an unassuming hidden talent)

I met someone today. Any interest in learning more?

Sister Wu, calm down!

I can't calm down. You either kill her

or I'll die here!

Are you worthy of wearing that uniform?!

What's going on?

Sister Wu.

I completely understand how you're feeling right now.

But according to the law, the person who killed your brother

cannot be formally charged at the moment.

I've told you why many times now.

I know I made you wait too long.

But... please rest assured.

This trial will not be postponed indefinitely.

Believe in me one more time.

Okay?

It was a case I worked on in the South City precinct.

It was a fraudulent marriage and homicide case.

From 2013, when the first case occurred,

to 2014 when the suspect was arrested,

three crimes were committed and had four victims.

I've heard of this case. The murderer was a woman.

But wasn't she sent to death row in 2015?

At the time, yes, it was the death penalty.

But later, she changed her confession.

She said her partner forced her to commit the murder.

Whether someone coerced her or not, we weren't able to verify.

Because we've never caught this person.

This case hasn't been able to be transferred back to the prosecutor's office.

No wonder the victim's family is making a ruckus.

No one's been able to sketch the partner before?

It was described several times and to different sketch artists from various precincts.

But every drawing is different.

That's the stumbling block in this case as well.

It's actually very clear that the suspect is just trying to delay things.

Director Zhang, can I try?

Go to Chengnan branch, give him the file.

Did you see? The police officer is carrying a gun, too.

Looks like it's time for the execution.

Who here doesn't owe a life to someone else?

Commit murder and pay with your life.

What's there to cry about?

I don't believe that. When the time comes for you, you won't be afraid?

They can't kill me.

As long as he's out there...

Someone like her, who's been in jail for six years,

what has she turned into now?

Are you trying to complete Director Zhang's directive?

Or do you just want to meet someone on death row?

Stop already. It's no use!

Are you saying she didn't have an accomplice?

She definitely had a partner.

I went through the case file myself. Based on the two crime scenes,

although they didn't find a third person's footprints or fingerprints,

just looking at the scene,

this isn't something a single woman could finish.

Chu Ying is trying to stay alive, which means there's definitely a partner.

But she can't really describe what he truly looks like.

Otherwise, if we catch him,

then her countdown begins.

So, you're saying she made all these faces up?

No wonder the sketch artists couldn't draw them.

Sketch artists are just her tools for her survival.

So... you think I'll be her next tool?

She's just using your pencils

to make up someone that can never be caught.

[Beijiang City Bureau of Public Security - Beijiang Branch]

Xiao Du.

Shen Yi only helped me with half of the board and then ran off.

What's so important that caused him to leave?

Do you need me to wait? If so, it'll cost extra.

[Downtown]

A masterpiece...

often records a human being's unusual behavior.

Therefore, great artists

will often go to prisons to draw the peculiarities of the criminals on death row.

Because only there can they

capture what it looks like to stare directly into death. The most extreme human emotion.

Let's imagine.

What kind of face will people have when they're facing death?

[Women's Inmate Zone]

Hogarth went to a prison... (William Hogarth was an English painter, printmaker, pictorial satirist, social critic, and editorial cartoonist. 1697-1764)

and drew this woman's face before she was put to death.

Back then, people also couldn't understand

why, before her execution, she wasn't crying or frightened.

But instead was this calmness before death.

As an artist, if you only paint the objects you can understand,

it'll guarantee you to be an average artist.

Our artist brushes should record

the extreme and extraordinary in the human world.

[Beijiang Detention Center]

Hurry and sit.

Stand.

0024, someone wants to see you.

Follow me to the meeting room.

What?

Is it a man or woman?

Man.

Chu Yingzi.

You're so handsome.

I've been here for six years.

I've never seen a handsome guy before.

It's worth it today.

Thank you.

You're also really pretty.

Actually, I should say beautiful.

Your face is very symmetrical.

And your ratios are very proportional.

Your face...

could be the prototype of a classic sculpture.

Really?

It started at 12 or 13 years old,

that was when men started to tell me I was beautiful.

I believe it.

But none of them have said it as nicely as you have.

It's a pity...

that you can't see what I looked like before.

That may not be true.

This is what you looked like when you were 12 or 13, right?

You've seen a picture of me when I was a child?

No.

I drew you based on what you look like now.

I understand now.

Another sketch artist.

It's been drawn so many times, it's not enough yet?

Okay, I'll tell you.

He looks like a bandit hero described in wuxia novels. (Literally means "martial heroes"; a genre of Chinese fiction concerning the adventures of martial artists in ancient China.)

Medium build, medium physique.

Thick brows and big eyes.

And a beard.

Like this?

Right. See, it's already been drawn.

And these?

There were five previous sketch artists that drew what you said.

They drew six sketches.

But each one was completely different.

That's because they didn't draw it well.

It's because you lied.

Believe what you will. I've never lied.

Maybe it's because I've been here too long.

Perhaps I've really forgotten his face.

How did he coerce you?

He forced me to kill.

He said if I didn't listen to him,

then he'd kill me.

You don't believe me?

Eyes don't lie.

When talking about other times,

your eyes...

seem to be staring off in the distance at a lover.

Really?

Chu Yingzi.

Do you know why I wanted to draw you when you were about 12 or 13 years old?

I want you to know that you can see what you used to look like.

And so you know you can see him again.

Even if it's just one picture.

As long as you don't give him up,

perhaps you and he will always be safe.

It seems like a perfect plan.

However, you two are like those standing at the two ends of a seesaw,

with the bottomless cliff beneath you.

As long as you both don't meet,

then the balance will be preserved.

I don't know if suffering in the short term is more painful,

or endless separation is more painful.

Your future...

will only be spent in this torment forever.

Of all the sketch artists,

you're the first one to understand me.

At the beginning,

all I could see was his face.

Then,

I could see his eyes.

- You're lying. - Let me finish.

The last time...

I wanted to clearly see his lips.

You've been lying since you started at his eyes.

When the flame of a lighter comes close to your face,

your eyes will naturally squint due to the light.

It can't be like you said.

The color of your lips is fading.

It's meaningless.

In the past, your looks were the weapon you were most proud of.

But now,

your beauty has waned.

You can't make anyone fall for you.

Outer beauty comes from within.

Most murderers' faces tend to become ghastly and hideous.

That's because from the moment they killed someone,

they already lost their humanity.

They're only left with the hideous features of a savage beast on their faces.

For you.

The "you" in this picture may be beautiful,

but it's because you were innocent and kind back then.

Then you decided to commit crimes with him.

Your beauty, your charm,

was destined to disappear from this face.

You can decide to live a meaningless life as a beast while in jail.

But you can also choose to end your life of sin and suffering.

Get your humanity back.

But the last time I saw him...

Murderer!

- Execute her! - Execute her now! She's a murderer!

- Execute her now! You deserve to die!

Evil should be executed!

Murderer!

Murderer! You must pay with your life!

You deserve to die!

Execute her now!

Murderer!

[Intake and transcript from missing person's report]

Captain Cheng.

These are Lin City's missing person cases over the past five years.

I found them all for you.

You're still looking at those cases?

How many times have you looked at them?

The bureau's system has been updated.

Look at other cases and see if there are any cases we can put together with Captain Lei's case.

- Is Shen Yi back yet? - No.

Okay.

Is this person similar to your memory?

[Missing Persons Records]

Captain Cheng, that's enough for tonight, right?

It's already 10:00 p.m.

- Let's... - Get off work.

I was going to try and get a ride home from you.

Is this reliable?

Check it.

[Car Service. Searching for a car...]

Sir, do you need a taxi?

It's so late. You're just leaving the police station now?

Are you a policeman or a lawyer?

I heard all the women locked up here are felons.

Many of them are in line for execution by shooting. Isn't that right?

They don't shoot anymore.

They just get an injection now.

That's good then.

They won't have to suffer.

Found it.

Cao Dong?

38 years old.

A resident of Gaofan.

Car plates are RC1438...

[Match : 97.5%]

Do you mind if I smoke?

It's fine, go ahead.

Thank you.

[Jiang Feng]

- Hello? - Shen Yi.

You're way too awesome.

No one was able to draw the suspect, only you.

- Have you eaten dinner? - I'm so busy, when do I have time to eat?

What did you eat?

I haven't had dinner, I�

Don't know when I'll be home yet, I'm so tired.

What do you mean?

Give me the phone.

Hello?

By the way, I haven't finished drawing on the blackboard yet.

Let Sister Fei know for me.

Yeah. I still need to do the background. I have a new idea.

I want to draw in Baroque patterns.

Yeah, that's right.

You're on the right track.

Hello?

Hello? Can you help me find a sketch?

It's on my desk.

Edvard Munch's collection of paintings, page 27.

I need it for the blackboard.

[The Murderer in the Lane]

- Contact the Forensics Department. Find Shen Yi's location immediately. - Yes, Sir.

Cao Dong's just drove by the RC86 surveillance camera.

He ran the red light and turned into this corner.

Inform the local police station.

- Contact me if anything else comes up. - All right.

The drawing is really similar.

You met with Yingzi?

I have.

The blood on here belongs to her.

Yes.

It's been seven years.

I don't even know what she's like now.

Since you drew me for her,

why don't you draw her for me?

Okay?

Yingzi is beautiful.

Big eyes.

They can see straight into your heart in an instant.

I loved her lips the most.

Brilliantly red...

and very tempting.

[Du Cheng]

Sorry, the user you are trying to reach is temporarily unable.

Please try again later.

I haven't seen the car with the same plates on the CCTV anywhere.

He's likely moved off the main road.

Inform Bureau Director Zhang immediately. Seal off the road going east to west on Huandao Road

and block off the three sections of Henger Road. Tell them to be careful.

- They have one of our own. - Understood.

I was able to track the previous whereabouts of his car.

He often travels between the detention center and the city.

He always returns to the Fuyuan neighborhood near the police station. It's probably his house.

Have the local police station in that district look up the suspect's specific address as soon as possible.

Okay.

Captain, I've found Shen Yi's location.

They haven't moved at all, I'll send you the location.

At a time like this,

you can still draw so well.

This might be my last drawing.

I don't want it to be flawed at all.

The last picture. Too bad.

I never thought...

I'd be the one to see your last drawing.

Thanks. Now, it's time for us to die.

[Du Cheng]

Six year now,

I finally have a chance...

to tell someone what's been hidden in my heart.

Do you know why, after all these years, I've stayed here

and never left?

Always going up and down this road?

That's right.

I know she can't get out.

She's in there, taking my place.

I'm out here keeping her company.

It's a way of making it up to her.

But since you know now,

I can't let you live.

No one has a chance now.

We're at the end of the line.

Get out.

Where are you running to? I'll kill you if you run again!

Brother.

You go first.

I want to wait for her a little longer.

Cao Dong, right? Listen to me.

Where's my coworker?

I'm warning you! Put your hands on your head and get on the ground!

Hands on your head and get on the ground!

Where's my coworker?

Where is he?

Triple the oxygen. Prepare a dose of mannitol. (T/N: a drug used to reduce pressure and swelling around the brain and eyes)

You're finally awake.

Was it worth it?

Why are you here?

It's been seven years.

You disappeared quite thoroughly.

I thought you had evaporated from this world.

This is a hospital room.

You can't smoke in here.

Everyone's looking for your paintings, do you know that?

I know.

You also know...

that I never painted for them.

Then, who do you want to paint for?

Everything you've drawn...

can they be considered art?

My pictures...

can help even more people.

You can't even help yourself.

I heard that police officer say

that you were never able to draw that woman.

I know.

You think that what you're doing now is very important,

but it's not so important for it to become your whole life.

Shen Yi.

This new path you've chosen

is really not worth it.

Hello?

Give me your phone.

Tonight, I don't want anyone to interrupt us.

Sounds good.

What is this place?

What do you think?

I rented this on purpose.

Because I have something important to do.

Let's go.

It's so dark in here. Where's the light?

Let's not turn on the lights yet. This is our time.

Wen Jing.

What's wrong with you?

You've been kidnapped.
