[Episode 25]

[Kidnapping Clarification Meeting]

Well said!

We will fully support this.

The new government

has always been protective

and supportive of

us entrepreneurs.

Any rumors trying to harm

the bond between the military and the people

will be crushed by the truth!

Our Jin's Textile Factory will

[Kidnapping Clarification Meeting]

definitely expand its supply

and work with the new government

to drive down the price of cotton yarn.

Bravo!

[Kidnapping Clarification Meeting]

Firmly support the new government!

Unconditionally support the new government!

Firmly support the new government!

Bravo!

Firmly support the new government!

[Shanghai People's Government Public Security Bureau]

The successful rescue

of these entrepreneurs

[Shanghai Municipal Administrative Map]

is thanks to the hard work

of everyone on our special investigation team.

Especially Lin Shaobai from the Police Pigeon Squad,

who played a key role

in solving this case.

Shaobai, say something.

[Shanghai Municipal Administrative Map]

Actually,

it wasn't just me

playing the key role.

[Shanghai Municipal Administrative Map]

It was

a team effort.

Even if the Police Pigeon Squad

seems insignificant,

no matter where we are,

we should work hard.

Great.

[Shanghai Municipal Administrative Map]

This spirit of

being humble

yet working hard

is something we should all learn from.

Although we've solved the case,

the burden on our shoulders remains.

Zhengyang,

please brief us on

the situation we're facing.

Okay.

After the silver dollar crisis,

some speculative capitalists in Shanghai

have been hoarding

grain, cotton yarn, and coal,

causing widespread shortages

and skyrocketing prices.

Their goal is

to destabilize Shanghai's economy

and make the people

lose faith in us.

According to our intelligence,

there are plenty of agents fanning the flames

and stirring up trouble.

[Shanghai Municipal Administrative Map]

So,

the Central Finance Committee has decided

to make Shanghai the main battlefield,

mobilizing resources

from across the country

to provide the market

with grain,

cotton yarn, and coal.

With absolute economic strength,

we'll crush these speculators.

We Shanghai police's job

is to ensure the absolute

safety of these supplies

and serve as a strong

backbone for this battle.

Susu.

Hello, Uncle Lin.

-Good boy, doing your homework?
-Officer Lin.

Officer Lin, you're here.

Please come in.

Don't bother.

I'm just here to tell you

that the injured Xiang

has gotten better.

Haven't you always wanted to

to visit him?

Yes.

We've been wanting to visit him.

He's recovering.

If you have time now,

I can take you there.

That would be great.

But we haven't prepared anything.

I'll go buy some flowers and fruits.

No need.

We have discipline.

It's not allowed.

Not even flowers?

Anything that costs money is not allowed.

But

I have an idea.

What is it then?

Come, Susu.

The flowers are so beautiful.

There are so many beautiful flowers ahead.

My Lady.

Mr. Jin, we're home.

Dad.

Dad, are you hurt?

Yes.

I suffered a lot.

I sat on the tiger bench.

They even hung me up and beat me up.

I couldn't take it anymore.

Zhou, is it true?

You're teasing me again.

It's good that you're back.

I'm fine.

Why are you home so late?

I've been out for so long.

There are a lot of things in the factory.

So I went to deal with it first.

I miss you so much,

sweetheart.

How about I make some noodles for you?

To help you relax.

You?

You can cook now?

Well, when I studied abroad

and wanted to have Chinese cuisine,

I had to cook for myself.

Now it's finally coming in handy.

Let's go inside first.

It's best to be home.

Here come the noodles.

Dad, please enjoy.

Take it easy.

You must be starving.

How is it?

Noodles made by my daughter.

So delicious.

That's because you haven't

eaten or slept well these days.

Everything tastes good now.

It's not as bad as you think.

Those agents were just after money.

They weren't too hard on us.

Dad, I didn't pick you up at the dock today.

You won't blame me, will you?

Why would I blame you?

If you don't figure out

the anthrax contamination,

it will affect the sugar factory.

The surroundings will suffer.

I know

what's important.

Thanks for understanding, Dad.

The anthrax bombs

left by the Japanese were

washed out by the heavy rain.

It has been sent for testing and disposal.

That thing is very dangerous.

You must be careful.

Don't do anything risky

like this again.

I know.

Go get another bowl

and put it here.

No more eating. This is for dinner.

Have you forgotten our family rule?

Eat a big breakfast, a good lunch, and a light dinner.

I'll listen to you.

Even if the Police Pigeon Squad

seems insignificant,

no matter where you are,

you have to work hard.

Can you stop teasing me?

The case is solved. Why keep an eye on me?

Good timing.

Take care of these pigeon dung.

Give me a hand.

You got me a mission, right?

Not bad. You're not bothered by the smell.

You've never been to the countryside

and spread fertilizer.

Compared to that,

this is nothing.

How bad can it be?

Could it be worse than falling into a manure pit?

Pretty close.

Unless you jump into a river and scrub yourself clean,

the smell won't go away.

Have you read the newspaper?

No.

You really should.

It's full of all the dirt they've been

[Police Lu Zhengyang Abuse of Power Leads to the Death of a Sixty-Year-Old Man.]

throwing on you recently.

That smell on you won't wash off,

even if you jump into the Huangpu River.

I don't care.

The truth will speak for itself.

Here you go again, Lu.

Why do they get to

throw dirt at us,

and we can't throw it back?

Listen to me,

this time we'll fight a public opinion

battle with Shrike,

and make them suffer.

So now your Social Affairs Office

is interested in publicity too?

Publicity has always been one of

our party's key strategies for victory.

[Shanghai Municipal Administrative Map]

Used properly,

it can deal a heavy blow to the agents.

Alright.

Tell me,

what article do you want to publish?

Go ahead.

Well...

No need to

feel embarrassed.

Come on,

let's sit and talk.

Come.

[Shanghai Municipal Administrative Map]

Sit down.

Sit.

Mr. Yang.

we're

planning to write

an article tarnishing Shrike,

based on what we've

gathered on him.

No, not tarnishing,

but exposing.

Basically, we'll reveal all the dirty deeds

he's done,

so his men can see what kind of

leader they're really following.

Back when Shrike was fighting for

the position of Shanghai Station Chief,

he betrayed his own people—

Wang Liqun's brother.

Yes,

and not just him.

After Wang Liqun was captured,

instead of rescuing him,

he sent his elite men

to kill Wang Liqun during

transport.

Although

it may be a failed rescue attempt,

the result's the same.

Wang Liqun died

at the hands of his own people.

[Shanghai Municipal Administrative Map]

Report.

Come in.

Sir, your noodles are ready.

[Shanghai Municipal Administrative Map]

Would you like to eat now?

Well...

Okay, bring it here.

You didn't bring garlic.

I'll get it now.

And, as you know,

Shrike

sacrificed Yang Hui,

who had followed him for years, just to escape.

None of his followers

have met a good end.

If we hadn't arrived in time last time,

the leader of the Hook Sword Gang, Dai Yueqing,

would've been killed by him too.

The worst part is,

Shrike even planned to use biological weapons

against his own people.

Mr. Yang,

someone like him,

who could betray his own subordinates

and fellows at any time.

Who'd dare work for him

after this report is published?

Your analysis makes sense.

This could be good.

I'll arrange for you

to connect with

some newspapers.

Okay?

Thank you so much.

The

Liberation Daily and People's Daily

are official newspapers of the party and government.

People in the agency

already know how bad

these agents are.

The key this time is

to let the public see.

Let them understand

what Shrike and the agents

really are.

So you mean...

Mr. Yang,

I was thinking,

we shouldn't just publish

in the major newspapers.

We could also

target the smaller ones that smeared us last time,

like Big News

and Yi News.

We could even

serialize the story,

like "The Legend of the Swordsmen from Shu".

That way, more people will read it.

Report.

Go on. I'll go.

With so many readers,

these agents won't

have any support in Shanghai.

Lin Shaobai.

Look at that,

Shaobai does have some clever ideas.

All thanks to Director Lu's guidance.

Sit, sit down.

Alright, let's go with your plan.

[Shanghai Municipal Administrative Map]

Thank you, Mr. Yang.

But Zhengyang,

I need to emphasize two things.

First,

we cannot publish any false information.

Everything must be backed up with facts,

so that when the people read it,

they'll believe us and trust us.

[Shanghai Municipal Administrative Map]

Second,

aside from exposing

big agents like Shrike,

we must also promote our policies:

punish the ringleaders,

show leniency to those coerced,

and reward those who contribute.

Differentiate between the major agents

and the minor agents who were

coerced into it.

And distinguish between

those with blood

on their hands

and those without.

Only then can we truly intimidate

these agent groups.

I understand, Mr. Yang.

You mean to

use this public opinion battle

to further divide and weaken them,

making the agents

fall apart on their own.

We're aiming to cut off

Shrike's support at its root.

Mr. Yang,

shouldn't we take this opportunity

to not only make Shrike suffer

but also boost

our own image a bit as well?

It depends on whether he wants it or not.

I'll figure it out.

You have to keep it a secret.

Got it.

Boost our image?

What image?

One more.

Enough, it's too spicy for me.

I've made an appointment for you.

You have to go.

I never promised you to go.

You decided this on your own.

Let go.

Go get changed. You really have to go.

Can you listen to me for once?

Who is the director meeting?

A lady journalist.

Director, are you going on a blind date?

That's ridiculous.

It's a reporter from Big News.

Xiaoman,

come

help me convince him.

This is an exclusive interview.

As soon as Lu's article is published,

he can clear his name immediately.

Yeah, Director,

it's a good thing. Why won't you go?

Listen,

once the article is out,

the agents will recognize me.

How am I supposed to work on cases?

Of course they'll recognize you.

Your photos are everywhere.

If you need to question citizens

during investigations,

people will see you

and avoid you.

How will you handle cases then?

Besides, this

isn't just about you.

It's about the reputation

of our entire police force.

Let me think about it.

Don't.

She's already here.

I... I don't know what to say.

Director, I have an idea.

Shaobai, can I borrow your hat?

You should go to the interview,

but the photo in the paper should be this.

This

could be Director Lu who saved the entrepreneurs,

or Xiang who risked his life to protect Tong Susu,

or Dr. Jin Yan and Mr. Liu Rui,

who faced anthrax fearlessly,

or our liaison Lin

from the Police Pigeon Squad.

It could represent all the police officers

who build an impenetrable defense for Shanghai.

As long as its stories are told,

whenever people see this hat,

they'll know who we are

and who we serve.

It could also be Xiaoman,

who infiltrated the gangs

to capture their leader, right?

Good.

Let's use his own way against him

and fight a public opinion battle with Shrike.

Based on our reporter's

interview with local police,

the recent kidnappings targeting private entrepreneurs

were meticulously planned

by the agent group, aiming to disrupt

Shanghai's improving economic situation

[People's Enemy: Shrike, Unmerciful and Unjust]

economic growth and tarnish

the image of law enforcement.

The head of this agent group, codenamed Shrike,

has been sabotaging

the new government's

efforts to rebuild Shanghai

since the Liberation.

He's even gone so far as to

ruthlessly eliminate

his own subordinates.

Agents hiding in Shanghai,

it's time to see Shrike's true colors.

Look,

the broadcast is talking about Shrike.

He's a major agent.

He should be arrested now.

No one can accept

a madman like this as their leader.

The new government's

policy toward those who

surrender and repent is lenient.

No one is born a reactionary.

Our Party's goal in united front work

is to turn enemies into friends

and friends into allies.

Under this principle,

except for those with heinous crimes

and die-hard reactionaries,

anyone willing to repent and surrender

will be forgiven by the people,

and will be given a chance

to start over in the new society.

Sir,

all the newspapers you want are here.

It's okay if you don't read it.

It's just Communist propaganda.

[Punish the ringleaders, show leniency to those coerced, and reward those who contribute.]

[The new government's policy: Combination of suppression and leniency]

Playing mind games.

They want us to lose our composure.

The most infuriating part is saying you

betrayed your friends for personal gain.

It's their usual trick.

Don't mind it.

Are you really okay?

Do you want me to be okay or not?

I sure hope you're okay.

Public opinion can be guided.

It's fine.

These newspapers make for

decent reading

material during free time.

This tactic is likely

the work of this young man.

Recently, prices

have been rising,

but the government is concerned

and has arranged to distribute

supplies to everyone.

Thank you, Principal.

Ms. Huang,

that egg portion is for Mr. Zheng.

Mr. Zheng runs an art studio.

Good business.

They surely don't lack eggs.

Ms. Huang,

the studio belongs to my wife.

I just help out.

Sure,

but you even

skip classes to help.

That's nonsense.

I've never missed a class,

and the studio has even printed

the school paper for us many times for free.

Right, Principal?

Yes, yes.

Good.

Since the papers are all about catching agents,

let's have Mr. Zheng

educate our students

and staff about

the evil agents like Shrike,

and encourage everyone

to report them.

The government even gives rewards for reporting.

Zheng, what do you think?

I'll do as the principal says.

Okay.

Wait.

Put my eggs here.

I have a class to attend.

I'll take up the afternoon class.

I'll be teaching composition.

Stop!

Put the eggs down!

And let me be clear,

don't you take over any of my classes again!

Why are you mad?

Put it down.

Go.

You...

Principal,

it's been years,

and this isn't the first time.

Yes, yes.

She's always picking on you.

We've all seen it.

True.

Everyone's human. We all have tempers.

What?

What's going on?

First time seeing him lose his temper.

Losing his temper.

Mr. Jin,

he's here.

Don't worry,

no one noticed me coming to see you.

If you hadn't come to me, I would've come to you.

I only found out you were back

after seeing the paper.

Where's my brother?

Kui,

prepare yourself for what I'm about to say.

Your brother

was killed by the agents.

Who did it?

Who did it?

Who else could it be?

After I was kidnapped,

your brother tried to take action against them.

But the operation failed,

and he was caught by Zheng.

They buried him alive

right in front of me.

Your brother was a real man.

He never gave me up, even at the end.

That's the rule.

Zheng will pay for

my brother's life.

Kui,

don't do anything reckless.

If you rush for revenge,

what about your brother's two kids?

I've already sent the kids to a safe place.

They're settled.

I've got

nothing left to lose.

Let me tell you,

if your brother couldn't handle him,

wouldn't you be throwing your life away?

It was my brother who was buried alive!

Even if it's suicide,

I have to try.

Kui, you're being impulsive.

Have you thought about the consequences?

If you make one mistake,

and they find the kids,

how will you face your brother?

This money was originally for your brother.

Now you take it on his behalf.

It's for the two kids.

Your brother died for me.

I also really like

these two kids.

From now on,

I'll cover all expenses for the kids.

As for you, Kui,

I've already thought it through.

I'll get you a new identity.

You'll work in my factory.

I'll call on you when I need you.

What do you think?

Mr. Jin,

thank you on behalf of my brother.

Kui.

Kui.

I've already submitted

the case report.

Along with it,

I sent the request for your transfer back to the Social Affairs Office.

Once it's approved,

you can officially come back.

Everyone's waiting for your return.

Did I say I'm coming back?

Didn't you tell Captain Zhang

that you, Lin Shaobai, is going nowhere

but the Social Affairs Office?

Hold on.

You didn't hear the second part

of my sentence.

I said if you want me back,

I should at least

be promoted to deputy director,

and you have to get a grand sedan

to carry me

and welcome me back.

And we'll pull out a banner

and fire off two strings of firecrackers.

Now you're talking, Lu.

Stop showing off.

You think you're

a new bride or something?

What are you all laughing at?

When I left the Social Affairs Office

I was exiled.

If I return

all quietly and shamefully,

where's my dignity?

Director asked you to come back.

Just stop acting tough.

That's my condition.

If you want me back,

I'd miss my pigeons too much.

I raise pigeons there.

When I'm free,

I can sunbathe and read books,

sit on my sun deck and enjoy the breeze.

That's a much better life than working at the Social Affairs Office.

You do have a point there.

Right?

That's my condition.

Think it over.

Alright.

Anyway, the Social Affairs Office

won't be much different

with you there

or without you.

If you don't want to come back,

there are plenty

who do.

Yes.

I'll ask you one more time.

Are you really not coming back?

I'll answer one more time.

I'm really not coming back.

Fine.

Don't regret it later.

You're leaving?

Weren't you going to take me to the station, Lu?

Are you drunk?

Are you out of your mind?

Are you out of your mind?

Get some rest early.

Shaobai,

it's alright.

If you want to come back in the future

and you're too embarrassed, tell me,

and I'll talk to the director.

You don't need to thank me.

Just bring me a catty of sorghum candies.

I'm off. Bye.

Be serious.

Take me to the station.

Let's go.

You just can't talk nicely.

Your stomach isn't good.

Drink more millet porridge.

Currently, six people on the awakened

personnel list have gone missing.

Whether they turn themselves in to the police,

we're still waiting for confirmation from Nyctibius.

Do we even need confirmation?

They've defected.

Fine,

I'll notify Falcon

to handle them.

If we don't kill a few, we won't be able to intimidate them.

Those who are hesitating,

watching and waiting,

or those who haven't done much

might follow suit and turn themselves in too.

Whoever needs to leave

should go.

This is a chance to

test our team.

Sir,

if they all surrender,

our strength will be weakened.

Keeping them is worse.

These people

have no faith.

All they care about

is the funds I have.

We'll cleanse them out,

and lull Lu Zhengyang,

creating an opportunity

for our next move.

You have a new plan?

Victory is the best adhesive.

We desperately need

a solid victory

that will shock the world.

My Lord, there's a visitor.

An honored guest has arrived.

Prepare some food

Yes, My Lord.

Please have a seat.

I came uninvited. I hope it's not inconvenient.

No, no, not at all.

What a mansion.

[Wanted Poster]

Mr. Jin, you've been studying Communist

policies these days?

Doing business,

it's important to study policies well.

The Communists always like to play mind games,

I know that.

I heard many people have surrendered recently.

Those are just outsiders,

not from my circle.

Lu's caught quite a few,

but it doesn't affect us.

I'm actually a bit worried.

His way of catching

might lull their police.

In that case,

I have nothing to worry about.

You know the Communists are holding their

founding ceremony next month on the first, right?

I've received the notice.

Aren't you planning on

offering some kind of gift?

The Labor, Military, and Commerce Association discussed with the government,

thinking of making some sculptures

or monuments to celebrate,

but they declined.

The government wants us to rest and recuperate,

focusing on restoring production first.

They're being polite, but you should take it seriously.

For such a grand event,

you have to present a gift.

I've thought it through for you.

Go buy a batch of

high-purity white phosphorus.

Shrike,

what do you need it for?

Recently, the whole country

has been supporting Shanghai, right?

How much aid is being

transported in and out every day?

Hundreds of tons.

More than that.

All stored in that

warehouse street.

You have four warehouses

on that street, right?

In the central location.

The central location, huh.

Well, I have a plan now.

To turn this white phosphorus

into gasoline bombs

adn let them explode

in your central location.

Can you imagine the scene?

It would surely be a sea of fire.

How about it? Is this gift big enough?

Shrike,

this matter is too big.

Not to mention if it fails,

even if it succeeds,

it will surely alert the top levels of the Communists.

They will spare no effort to investigate.

That would be pushing us to

a... dead end.

Shrike, please reconsider.

Reconsider what?

Are you still holding onto illusions?

Do you think the Communists will spare us?

You're wrong. Wake up.

You only have one path now—

support the Kuomintang,

and prepare for a counterattack.

When Shanghai is taken back,

I can promise you,

the president of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce

will be you.

How about that?

But...

those are my own warehouses.

If they catch fire and explode,

I'd be bringing disaster upon myself.

This makes things even simpler.

Donate all four warehouses to the government.

Then whatever happens won't be your responsibility.

Shrike,

I'll think about it.

Getting white phosphorus is too difficult.

Really, it's too hard.

I just remembered,

Wang Qinghua has a fertilizer factory,

he must have white phosphorus.

He lost a fortune in the silver dollar

speculation recently,

and he hates the new government.

Go talk to him.

He'll definitely help you.

No.

Someone like him

has been under the Communist watch.

You're our only option now.

You're clean,

a progressive entrepreneur.

Get us 300 catties of white phosphorus,

alright?

300 catties?

That's too difficult.

Right now, rice, flour,

even coal prices are sky-high.

I really can't do it.

Aren't you a major shareholder in Changhua Match Factory?

Yes.

So if the factory imports some white phosphorus,

would that be strange?

It's perfectly legitimate.

And as far as I know,

the factory already has over 100 catties.

Isn't that right?

Nothing gets past you, does it?

How much money do you have in your accounts?

We

know better than you do.

This fire attack

must succeed.

If anyone makes a mistake

at any point,

it will be unforgivable.

Let me repeat—

this is not a deal.

This is an order.

I'll come in a couple of days

to announce the specific plan.

Shrike,

you're ruthless.

[On an Island in Zhoushan]

This failure

has let down the President's expectations.

I take responsibility.

Lanting,

you're being too harsh on yourself.

Victory is victory, no matter the scale.

Whether it's three ships of grain

and cotton or 300 ships,

it doesn't matter.

We've achieved our propaganda goal.

Now, Taiwan has made you out to be a hero,

fighting alone behind enemy lines.

I don't deserve it.

I really don't.

A hero is a hero,

and heroes should be rewarded.

The higher-ups at NBIS have decided to

bring you back to the rear,

to serve as

deputy director of the office.

It's also likely the President himself

will give you a personal commendation,

to boost morale.

I appreciate the kindness from you and the higher-ups.

But

to be honest,

returning now,

I'd feel unsatisfied.

Could you give me another chance,

so I can achieve something

truly worthy of recognition?

Lanting, look,

at your age,

you're no longer suited for the frontlines.

This is for your own good.

Indeed,

precisely because of my age,

there are things I must do,

or it will be too late.

The Sea Subversion Plan

has only hit a few setbacks.

As the saying goes,

good things take time.

But this is the decision from the higher-ups.

What if they force you to go back?

Of course.

If...

Director,

a few ships have arrived.

It seems they might be against us.

I didn't get a chance to report to you.

They're all our people.

They know you're here,

so they came to collectively request to join the fight.

No need for that.

Lanting, I have no doubt about

your personal loyalty.

But you need to keep

a tighter rein on your men.

I've heard some have

already surrendered to the Shanghai Public Security Bureau.

In my view, it might not be a bad thing.

It purifies our team.

Purity is fine,

but what we need now is a victory

to boost morale.

I've already got a plan.

Go on.

The battle over rice and cotton isn't over.

Victory hasn't been decided yet.

The Communists are shipping supplies

from all over the country to stabilize prices,

stockpiling them in warehouses.

That's our chance.

So, you're planning to target those supplies?

Aren't they going to hold

the founding ceremony in Beijing on October 1st?

While they're setting off fireworks in Beijing,

I'll light a few fires in Shanghai

to complement them.

What do you think?

Brilliant!

Lanting, your fires will be the real show.

Brilliant!

Guiheng.

Yes.

All your men are

at Lanting's disposal.

Yes.

No holding back.

Shrike,

please feel free.

My men are yours to command.

Then I'll get to work right away.

Okay.

Be careful.

Keep a close

eye on him.

Understood.

Chief, how did the talk go?

Same old promises of positions and rewards.

The NBIS is in a fierce internal power struggle.

They're looking for a scapegoat.

The day I land on the island will be the day I die.

I didn't handle this well.

Fortunately, you...

How's the preparation for the incendiary bombs?

We've mastered the blueprints,

ready to go at any time.

Good.

We've all been through death together,

so I'll speak frankly.

Without the Communists,

the currency in Shanghai

would still be the gold yuan note.

All our businesses would have gone bankrupt long ago.

Without the rescue by the Public Security Bureau,

we'd all be buried by now.

The government is struggling now,

shouldn't we lend a hand?

Jin spoke with me before I came.

To stabilize prices in Shanghai,

the central government is gathering rice, flour,

coal, oil, and cloth

from all over the country,

constantly shipping them to Shanghai.

The warehouses storing these supplies are running out of space.

They hope we can free up some of our own warehouses

to temporarily

donate to the government.

I've heard

big speculators opposing the government predict

that the Communists score 100 in military,

80 in politics,

and zero in economics.

But have you ever heard of

a liberated area

where people go hungry,

or can't get cotton to wear?

Only when Shanghai's economy is truly stable

can we all safely make money.

Right.

Let me take the lead.

I will donate four warehouses.

I'll donate three.

I'll...

donate two.

I'll donate two as well.

Five.

I'll donate all.

Donate all?

Since you're so sincere,

I'll take the lead

and report to the Military Control Commission

to show our attitude.

[Office 2 of Social Affairs Office]

Everyone,

Deputy Commissioner Yang has an important announcement.

Comrades,

due to the heavy workload

in Office 2 recently,

with many agents to interrogate,

and a large amount of data to investigate, organize, and archive,

Zhengyang has requested more staff.

After consideration,

I've decided to add two more people to Office 2.

One of them is Chen.

I believe you all know him well.
