Original subtitles

The victim's body's with many scars

in various condition.

It's all bruises

over the face, torso, and limbs.

It should be from blunt force trauma.

The body's also with multiple fractures.

The index finger, thumb, and middle finger of the right hand

have all been broken.

On the victim's back,

there's also a stab wound.

The murder weapon should be

a single-edged knife for about 10 cm long.

The victim's mouth, nose, eardrum, temporal bone,

and the base of the skull show clear signs

of bleeding under active reactions,

so he should be alive when falling to death.

[Qin Fen, Medical Examiner]

As for whether it was an accidental fall, suicide,

or if he was pushed down,

it still depends on the scene.

Do we have the time of death now?

About nine hours ago.

The rescue passage was

opened nine hours ago.

We've checked the liver temperature.

We're sure about it.

The scars all look like being from the past.

The bruises on the body and the stab wound on the back

have been there for some time.

The victim must have been hit before death.

And he was very likely hit

by more than one person.

It should be a group assault.

[The Limbo]

[Episode 3 Order]

Give me your hand.

[Subsidence accident, Day 2]

No, there's no signal here.

We can't reach the ones outside.

How will the rescue team

know we're still alive?

That's right.

It's so chaotic down here.

How could they possibly find us?

Do you know how great

the rescue capability and equipment are now?

We have drones,

infrared thermal imagers,

life detectors,

demolition robots,

and many other advanced rescue equipments.

Most importantly, you need to believe in

our firemen's strong mind to save lives.

So when exactly can we get out of here?

One week at most.

One week?

In this case, can we really get out in a week?

Do you have any other choice now

but to believe me?

It smells good. Eat while it's hot.

Auntie, your cooking is great.

Thank you.

Where's your captain?

Where's the captain?

Captain!

Huh?

Who is it?

This auntie is looking for you.

This meat has been simmering all night.

It smells delicious.

Eat it while it's hot.

Yes.

Let's hurry and set out.

Yes, sir.

Fall in line.

Put on your helmets.

Everyone, put them on properly.

Captain,

have some rou jia mo (meat in bun).

There's also liang pi (cold rice noodles).

Thank you, thank you.

Come on, eat more.

You've all worked so hard these days.

My daughter is down there too.

[Hai Chungui, Hai Mei's mom]

By the way,

let me show you a photo of my daughter.

Look,

this is my daughter.

Her name is Hai Mei.

She's twenty-two this year,

a junior in college.

Auntie,

please don't worry.

What did you say?

Auntie, please don't worry.

No matter who,

we'll do our best.

Ah,

I know it.

You're good boys.

Well,

thank you.

[Haizhou Fire-fighting]

Thank you, Captain.

Based on my experience,

the rescue team will use detection radar

to search for signs of life.

So we need to climb up,

the closer the better.

Why are we still standing here then?

Let's hurry up and climb!

Zhou,

I've found the diesel generator you mentioned

in the equipment room on the first floor.

Try to fix it if you can.

It'll be much easier with electricity.

I need someone to help.

Tao Ye, you help him.

The rest of you, come with me.

I can't walk anymore, so I won't go.

Auntie Chang, then I'll stay here with you.

No need, you go with them.

Be careful.

Do you know this person?

Wu Hanlei.

He's a senior advisor at Luobai.

An advisor for what?

He's the personal advisor to Luo Haoran.

For me, he's just a liar and a bootlicker.

I don't know what he did,

but he brainwashed Luo Haoran

to hire him as the company's advisor,

and pay him 30,000 yuan a month.

He even got social insurance and housing fund.

When did this start?

I can't remember clearly.

Five years ago.

To be precise, it should be

when Luobai Shopping Mall was refurbished.

[Online bank transfer, Wu Hanlei]

Yes.

I remember now.

Ms. Yuan, as the financial director of Luobai,

and Luo Haoran's wife,

when such large expenses

appeared in the accounts with no reason,

didn't you ever question it?

If you knew Luo Haoran,

you wouldn't ask that.

He's the absolute ruler of Luobai.

No one dares to question any of his decisions.

Do you know what these patterns mean?

What do they represent?

I don't know.

This is an ancient and long-lost symbol

designed to seal underground evil spirits.

Take a look.

This secret room

was built specifically to seal

the underground sinkhole.

Luo Haoran knew

there was such a large sinkhole underground,

but he deliberately concealed the truth.

He asked Wu Hanlei to set up an altar

to seal the sinkhole.

We now suspect

Wu Hanlei might have gotten something

on Luo Haoran,

otherwise,

he wouldn't have been so easily fooled

by such a maniac,

and kept giving him money.

What do you think?

You should ask Wu Hanlei directly.

I really don't know the things between them.

Unfortunately,

I'm afraid he can no longer speak.

He...

[Haizhou Bank]

[Lawyer]

Do you know anyone at the funeral home?

Funeral home?

Is there anything wrong?

There's a man named Wu Hanlei.

He's one of the three victims in this accident.

Try to find out how he died,

who came to pay their respects,

and get information about his close relatives and friends,

family members, and lovers

from before he died.

Alright.

How is it? Can we go up?

We can go up,

but there's a collapsed section in the middle.

I can't get through.

Then let me try.

You can't get through either.

Uncle Xiaoguang, I can get through.

Zhengtai.

No, it's too dangerous.

It's okay, I'll protect him.

He's the only one able to get through.

Watch your head.

Be careful, Zhengtai.

Captain, we've checked everything.

Captain, there's still no signal.

We've checked three times already.

Let's withdraw.

Then just keep searching

for more times!

Calling command center, calling command center.

Go ahead.

We've found survivors.

We've found survivors.

We've found survivors.

That's great!

That's great!

That's great!

Liu, contact the chief commander.

Yes, sir.

Be careful.

Mom, am I brave?

Do you think they'll receive our message?

Go refuel with diesel. Be careful.

It's on.

Zhou, get up.

[Subsidence, Day 3]

I've found some clothes.

Take some if you need.

Make sure to stay warm.

We should hurry to gather supplies now.

Water, food,

lighting, medicine...

Anything will do.

The more we can use, the better.

Auntie Chang can stay here to look after Wu Hanlei.

Everyone else, pair up. Hurry!

Don't take all the water over there.

Keep some for yourself.

How can you be so selfish in such case?

A cunning rabbit has three burrows.

Always leaving yourself a way out

does you no harm,

especially at a time like this.

Luo Haoran.

Are you hiding something from everyone?

Speak up.

Are you hiding something from everyone?

How could it be possible for me

to hide something from you?

Are you worried about starving

to death here?

You've caused so much suffering to everyone.

And now you want to hide water alone?

Will you ever in your life...

feel any sense of guilt?

Do you really think...

that I knew this building would collapse?

Don't you know?

Speak up, don't you know?

Fine, fine.

Do you even know what you'll do next

to achieve your goals?

I know.

I do know.

I want to bury myself underground,

and bury my daughter underground too.

I know all of it.

I don't know what your mother told you.

I'm just telling you,

we are family, and you are my daughter.

Do you understand?

What's wrong with your hand?

It's nothing.

Just arthritis.

Sometimes when I carry heavy things,

or when it rains, it hurts.

How did you get arthritis?

It's from washing gluten when I was young.

It's the aftereffects.

Since I was born,

it was just my mom and me.

As soon as school was over,

I'd go help at the food stall.

After school, when I got home,

I'd help my mom prepare ingredients.

I would help her wash the dough.

Do you know how to make liang pi?

No, I don't.

Well, it's just

to knead the dough into a ball.

Then you keep adding cold water to it.

It's like washing clothes.

You wash it over and over again.

Gradually, the dough

will become like a small piece of cotton,

and the remaining starchy water can then be used to make liang pi.

I did it too often

and my hands got some problems.

How did you and Ding Zi become friends?

Actually, I was Ding Zi's tutor.

Oh.

After my sophomore year,

I started tutoring part-time.

I wanted to earn more money,

so I could take my mom on a plane later

to go to the beach.

As for Ding Zi, she wanted to study abroad.

So she asked me to tutor her.

Later, we gradually became friends.

Hai Mei.

Aren't you scared?

You've already said you're a fireman.

I trust you.

When we get out,

I hope to go to your mom's store

to taste it.

Sure.

Let's go, let's check out other places.

Do you know how many people struggle

just to buy these bags?

Are the things here very expensive?

Not expensive.

Just about 100,000 to 200,000 yuan each.

Don't tell me

that you've never bought one for your wife?

My wife doesn't like expensive things.

She joins group purchases for a snip.

Buy one for your wife.

See if she likes it.

No woman can refuse luxury goods.

Zhou.

Leave it with me for now.

We'll share it if we get thirsty.

What are you doing?

This is the rest area for family members.

Please rest over there.

Why did you bring me here?

-Where is Luo Haoran? -Please calm down.

How could it be possible?

Do you know who I am?

This mall used to belong to my family.

I used to be the owner's wife of the mall.

Go find him.

Hurry up and find Luo Haoran.

He's not answering his phone or coming out.

Does he think I'll let him off the hook?

Such a big incident, and he wants to hide like a coward?

Please calm down. Rest here for a while.

I have something to attend to.

I'll go over there first.

Wait.

No, you, you, you...

You can't just leave me like this!

You must be Ding Zi's mother, right?

[Ding Xiaoping, Luo Haoran's first wife]

I've seen your photo.

Who are you?

My daughter is Ding Zi's friend.

Ding Zi often comes to play at our house.

Oh.

So you're Hai Mei's mother, right?

I was wondering why my daughter

didn't stay at school at night,

but play outside.

My daughter was led astray by your daughter.

What?

What do you mean by that?

I'm telling you, if anything happens to my daughter,

I won't let this go!

No, that's not true. My daughter is a good girl.

So you mean

there's something wrong with my daughter?

How dare you talk like that!

That's not what I meant. You misunderstood.

Nonsense!

Mom, are you okay?

What's happening?

I'm in pain.

-The fetus is moving -Go get the doctor.

Come on.

Quickly, call an ambulance!

[12:30 for prenatal examination]

Mom.

Can I take care of Xiaohei?

Xiaohei?

It's the name I gave it.

Look at its eyes.

Don't they look like two black pearls?

Come here.

No, Zhengtai.

You have asthma. You can't keep it.

Do you understand?

Let's go.

Mom, please, I'm begging you.

Mom, please.

I'm begging you.

Xiaohei will starve without food.

Xiaohei will starve to death.

If he likes it, let him keep it.

It's fine if we don't let it out.

No, he has asthma.

Mom, I...

Zhengtai.

Quickly, promise your mom.

You absolutely won't let it out.

And you won't touch it, okay?

Let's pinky swear.

Mom, I promise I won't let it out.

I promise I won't get sick.

Look, look what I found!

Dog food.

Yes.

Can we eat this?

Yes, we can.

Look at the nutritional content.

Fish oil, fat, protein,

and vitamins too.

It's so nutritious.

The taste is not bad.

It's really edible.

It's just a bit hard on the teeth.

This Wu Jianjun...

Why did he commit suicide in the basement?

[Suicide] [Crime scene]

The exact location of his suicide

was beside the secret room where the vajra was found.

He must have wanted to use this method

to tell us that his death

had something with the secret room.

Only Luo Haoran and Wu Hanlei

can freely get in or out of the secret room.

Although the construction and renovation of Luobai

were all signed off by Wu Jianjun,

I think the ones behind the scenes

[Wu Hanlei] [Luo Haoran]

should be them.

He didn't dare to resist when he was alive,

so he chose to make his point clear through death.

If Luo Haoran wants to keep this secret

from ever being known to the world,

then the only way is

to silence people with killing.

Master,

I just saw

there's a secret room downstairs.

What's going on exactly?

I also believe in some feng shui.

I saw in the secret room, on that painting of "the River of Forgetfulness",

there are some symbols.

Is there any significance to them?

That's called a seal.

I heard

two people died in this building.

And one was burned to death in fire.

Both of them died unjustly.

They were both murdered by someone.

I don't know.

I don't know anything.

Those wrongfully killed ghosts

will keep haunting

the people who killed them

until they get their revenge.

Liang, Wu Jianjun,

stop haunting me!

The guilty should be punished, it wasn't me who did it.

If you want to find someone, go find Luo Haoran.

He's the one who forced you into this!

Tell me,

how did Luo Haoran kill Wu Jianjun?

What exactly happened?

You're back.

Did you find something to eat?

[Luobai Shopping Mall]

[Luobai Shopping Mall]

[Luobai Geologic Survey Report]

[Industrial property insurance]

I can understand your trying to sell Luobai,

but why do you spend millions on property insurance?

This is completely wasteful.

Luobai's business is getting worse.

Such a large sum of money at this time

will greatly affect the company's cash flow.

Luobai's business is getting worse.

Has it affected your quality of life?

I built Luobai brick by brick.

Should I tell you everything I'd been through?

Should I tell you all the troubles for Luobai to face?

Then we discuss together, and bear it together?

Is that so?

If something happens,

someone will take us all down in one go.

I have my reasons to keep you out of it.

Do you understand?

What is there that we can't bear together?

I don't need it.

[Sancheng Construction]

My name is Wu Jianjun.

I want to report Luo Haoran from the Luobai Group.

And Wu Hanlei.

There's a sinkhole beneath the Luobai Shopping Mall.

Three years ago,

when Luo Haoran was to renovate the mall,

he already knew about it.

However,

for his own personal gain,

he deliberately concealed the truth.

He even forced me to illegally renovate it.

To ensure smooth construction,

Luo Haoran bribed me.

In total, he gave me

2.16 million yuan as hush money.

I deeply regret it now.

I didn't stick to my principles

or maintain my moral standards.

I was dragged into this mess by Luo Haoran.

Natural disasters, force majeure,

landslides, tsunamis...

No matter what accidents occur,

Luobai Group can always get compensation.

And the beneficiaries are all shareholders of Luobai,

including sinkholes caused by ground subsidence.

That's correct.

However, there's one exception.

If the policyholder deliberately conceals issues

and doesn't inform the insurance company in advance

about the building's true condition,

it should be insurance fraud.

Not only will they not receive compensation,

but they may also be sued

and held legally responsible.

Director Yuan, Director Yuan!

Have you divorced Luo Haoran?

May I ask why you divorced?

Was it for evading the responsibility

of the mall's accident?

Then please tell us,

as a shareholder and senior executive of Luobai,

do you have anything to say?

My divorce from Luo Haoran

happened half a month ago.

I couldn't ever know such a major accident.

Moreover, before the divorce,

I had already resigned from all my positions in the company

and returned all my shares

to the company.

So now I have no connection

with Luobai or Luo Haoran.

But I've been working at Luobai since graduation.

I've worked here for eleven years.

For such a major accident, I...

I feel terrible.

I've decided

to donate 200,000 yuan

in my personal capacity.

At the same time, I hope

that Luobai's shareholders

can come forward and explain to the public.

Stop being cowards.

Thank you all.

Director Yuan, can you say a bit more? Director Yuan!

You vixen! You shameless woman!

You shameless thing!

You destroyer! Give me back my daughter!

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Here are all the documents and blueprints of Luobai.

I hope they'll be helpful to you.

Thank you.

"I've decided

[Latest progress on Luobai's subsidence.]

to donate 200,000 yuan in my personal capacity...

Look.

to compensate for some of your loss."

This woman is something, isn't she?

"At the same time, I hope Luobai's shareholders

can come forward..."

200,000 yuan.

She didn't even blink

when she said it.

Donating money is fine,

but what's the need of filming a video?

I just feel

this video looks particularly staged.

[Latest progress on Luobai's subsidence.]

Your thinking is outdated.

Who says good deeds must be done anonymously?

I think this is quite good,

spreading positive energy.

It's true.

But I still feel something fake about this Yuan Mei.

Just wait and see.

She'll keep trending on social media.

[Latest progress on Luobai's subsidence.]

So she wants to use public opinion

to set herself apart?

You lack imagination.

[Latest progress on Luobai's subsidence.]

She's not after popularity.

She wants wind.

The wind that can stir up huge waves,

and spread a wildfire.

These supplies will only last for a week.

Give me a bottle of water.

What are you doing?

These supplies belong to everyone.

No one can use them without permission.

Who made you the boss?

Don't think that just because you saved us,

you're now our leader.

Do you want to get out of here alive?

Do you want to make it out alive?

Are you done talking nonsense?

If you want to get out alive,

you must listen to me.

Let me tell you,

I'm the only one here with rescue experience.

Only I can lead everyone out.

If you don't trust me,

you can divide the supplies

and fend for yourselves.

Don't cause trouble for each other.

I trust Xiaoguang.

What about you all?

We'll listen to you.

We'll follow your lead.

Right, Xiaoguang saved all of us.

We need to unite, unite.

Unity is strength.

Since no one has any objections,

from now on,

I'll be in charge of distributing supplies to everyone.

As long as we stay united

and face all difficulties together,

we will definitely make it out.

Right.

First, I hope everyone understands

that our supplies are indeed limited.

I will distribute supplies according to the minimum survival standards

for each person.

One 500ml bottle of water per day,

and food that provides basic calories.

Xiaoguang,

one bottle of water for eleven people a day

is too little.

Didn't you say it would be just a week?

That's right.

These supplies should be enough if distributed normally.

For so little water every day,

who can endure that?

One week is the best case,

but we also need to prepare for the worst.

What's the worst-case scenario?

What do you mean?

In the worst-case scenario,

how long will we have to stay here?

Since we've chosen to trust Xiaoguang,

we shouldn't overthink it anymore.

We'll start distributing supplies at noon every day.

Equal distribution, everyone gets a share.

Wait.

I have no problem with everyone following your lead.

I'm okay with however you want to distribute.

But I don't think we should share it equally.

Shouldn't we figure out

who put us in this terrible situation?

For the one who did this to us,

shouldn't he be punished?

It's Luo Haoran.

Luo Haoran is responsible for all of this.

Three years ago,

during the renovation of Luobai,

he had someone re-surveying the foundation.

He knew the sinkhole underneath.

But he didn't report it truthfully.

Because he knew if it's found

by the Housing and Construction Bureau,

Luobai would be ordered to shut down,

or even be forcibly demolished.

To protect his own interests,

he bribed the one in charge of the foundation survey

to conceal the secret of the sinkhole.

He took the risk and proceeded with the construction.

The person in charge of construction was named Wu Jianjun,

who also discovered this secret.

Later, Wu Jianjun

was driven to death by him.

You're crazy!

According to your logic,

I knew the building was going to collapse,

and then I kept working in the building every day

for business

only to bury myself and my daughter underground?

Are you out of your mind?

Everyone saw it.

In the secret room,

he almost killed me.

What are you doing?

I'll fight you to the death!

Let go!

Why would I hit you?

I admit I lost control of my emotions.

I hit him.

He kept tricking me into donating money and performing rituals.

It's not about the money for donations and rituals.

He told me that it would make the mall

prosperous and safe.

I was just bewitched.

I can't believe I trusted him.

The building collapsed.

In the heat of the moment,

I hit you. I'm sorry.

You asked me to build the secret room, didn't you?

You knew there was danger underneath.

You didn't take any remedial measures.

That's one thing.

But he asked me to set up some feng shui formation for him

to change his fate against the will of heaven.

Luo Haoran,

are you out of your mind?

Changing fate against heaven's will?

Who do you think you are? Nezha?

That's enough.

Let go of me!

So you mean

that all of us now are

trapped in some kind of sinkhole, right?

Can we still get out of here?

Huh?

Wu Hanlei, I'm asking you,

for all these things you just said,

do you have any evidence?

The feng shui formation down there,

didn't you see it yourself?

I'm asking you

if there's any concrete evidence to prove

that Luo Haoran knew about the sinkhole.

I...

It was three years ago

when I argued with him

that I mentioned it.

Without evidence,

no one can condemn anyone else.

If Luo Haoran is truly guilty,

we should wait until we get out of here

and let the court judge it.

Here,

no one has the right to judge

whether Luo Haoran is guilty or not.

Ms. Chang, thank you.

If I have the chance,

I will repay you.

If we can get out of here, I will definitely

fight for everyone's best interests

and the maximum compensation.

Xiaoguang is right.

Zhou just said it too.

At this time, we must unite.

We must unite and not fight among ourselves.

-It's internal friction. -Luo Haoran.

You finished playing Nezha and now you're playing God?

If you were truly innocent,

there would be no bad people in this world.

Let Mr. Luo think about it again.

I believe Mr. Luo will make

the right choice.

Right, Auntie Chang?

Get lost.

We can't drive Luo Haoran away.

If we drive away the first one,

there will be a second one.

If he has no supplies,

he will die of thirst or hunger.

This is collective murder.

Do you want to kill someone?

Don't talk to me about collective murder.

He's the owner of this mall.

If even he can't find supplies,

then it's heaven's will to take him.

I don't agree.

It's your business if you don't agree.

Didn't you say we're a group?

You need to ask everyone's opinion.

Why don't we vote by raising hands?

I agree with Zhou's suggestion.

Yes, yes, let's vote.

Voting is fair.

If everyone agrees,

then let's vote.

Those who agree to let Luo Haoran stay, raise your hands.

Kid, why are you raising your hand? What do you know?

What are you shouting about?

Don't raise your hand carelessly.

I know.

Raising my hand means keeping uncle with us.

Five votes.

Those who agree to let him leave, raise your hands.

It's a tie.

Hai Mei,

do you agree or disagree?

I disagree.

I don't agree to share supplies with Luo Haoran.

Don't move.

Don't draw attention to yourself.

It's dangerous. Dad's fine.

If it were me, I wouldn't give her any.

It's like benefiting Luo Haoran, isn't it?

That belongs to her.

We have no right to interfere with her choice.

I know everyone hates Luo Haoran.

The mistakes he made

will receive their due punishment.

But have you all thought about it?

If Luo Haoran dies because of us,

when we get out in the future,

we'll feel guilty about it for the rest of our lives.

So I beg everyone

to give Luo Haoran another chance.

He's not dead yet.

Did they

bully you?

What Wu Hanlei said

was all true.

I knew it five years ago

about the sinkhole.

But what he doesn't know is that

this sinkhole

is nearly a hundred meters deep.

In a short period of time,

it's impossible to be rescued.

But Xiaoguang said the rescue team would arrive in seven days?

Don't trust him at all.

His purpose

is to control the supplies.

The one who controls the supplies can survive till the end.

If things are really as you say,

why don't you tell everyone the truth?

We can't tell them.

I've calculated those supplies.

At most,

at most, it's enough for everyone

to last for about ten days.

Don't trust anyone,

including your good friend Hai Mei.

Since she could throw your father out,

she might also do things unimaginable.

Ding Zi,

listen to dad.

You can't tell anyone.

Luo Haoran,

look into my eyes.

Are you telling the truth?

Luo Haoran,

everyone agrees to give you another chance.

But there's one condition.

You need to write down the whole story of Luobai's sinkhole.

Make everything clearly,

and sign a confession.

I'll think about it.
