[Under the Skin Ⅱ]

[Episode 8]

The whiteboard.

Is there an exam?

What is this?

Is he not going to teach?

Yeah.

-Hello, Mr. Shen. -Hello, Mr. Shen.

-Hello, everyone. -Hello, Mr. Shen.

What does this mean?

Yeah, what does this mean?

Is this the content for today's exam?

Why is he using a knife?

What is the teacher doing?

Mr. Shen,

this...

is also a painting?

Yes,

this is my imitation of

one of Lúcio Fontana

knife-split works.

It's exactly what you guys see,

there is only one split on the canvas.

But later on,

it was sold at an astronomical price.

-Astronomical price? -Astronomical price?

Astronomical price...

How much is it?

Do you want to buy it?

That's not important.

What's important is

how do you guys feel

when you look at this painting?

Tell me.

I think this is

a type of behavior art.

The artist wants to express

negative dissatisfaction.

What else?

I think Fontana wants to show how

the moment he cuts it,

the artwork is complete

within a second

which could be

a way of mocking other drawing techniques.

Go on.

Or,

he simply wants the audience

to pay attention to the black crack.

He's quite funny.

We all know,

in traditional western painting

it is on this

two-dimensional plane of the canvas

where perspective, light, and shadow

are used to simulate

the depth and relief

of a three-dimensional space.

It can be said that

from the Renaissance

to modern classics,

paintings

have always been an imitation of sculptures.

The cut

on this canvas

transformed this artwork

from being two-dimensional

to three-dimensional.

He opened a new,

unknown world

and in this world,

point, line, plane,

and color

are no longer the only languages used for expression.

The behavior itself,

cracks,

and the audiences' thoughts

are all a part of art.

Then what do you think

this piece is trying to express?

The moment he ripped the canvas,

Fontana went into

an unknown realm.

He revealed the underlying

truth hidden beneath the surface.

Every crack

and every incision

may be the key

to the truth.

What's wrong?

Are you sick?

Maybe I caught a cold.

This is my go-to medicine.

Remember to take it on time.

Thank you.

By the way,

Ms. He told me that

you wanted to go to Xuanxuan Restaurant for dinner.

Yes, why?

Why didn't you tell me?

What's the use of telling you?

It's not like you will line up for me.

As long as I'm there,

there's no need to line up.

Why?

Xuanxuan Restaurant

is run by my family.

Really?

You never told me.

What's there to say?

My mom

and some of her best friends

opened it together.

How about

I take you there tonight?

I don't want to trouble you.

How will this trouble me?

The timings perfect,

my mom is there tonight

so she'll prepare us some

hidden menus

that can't be ordered by others.

Besides,

she always wanted to treat

our police department to a meal.

Coincidentally,

you want to eat it

and she wants to treat us to dinner,

that's killing two birds with one stone,

right?

Your mom is there too?

It's a deal.

I'll see you tonight at 8PM.

You have to come.

Wait...

[Beijiang Criminal Investigation Team]

Mr. Shen.

What's wrong?

I'm summarizing the Chang Feng case,

and I noticed that you gave Chang Feng

a test using the sand board.

I find it so interesting

and I want to know how to do it.

Do you have time later?

Why don't you come to my office

and we'll do a little experiment together.

Sure.

[Beijiang Criminal Investigation Team]

Join us, Li Han.

Join us.

Drawing test

is a psychological projection technology.

If you make abstract things concrete,

it can often express

some psychological information

that one might not even

be able to notice themselves.

It's simple,

on the paper

you need to draw out

the three elements:

house, tree and person.

You can draw them however you like.

After you're done,

I will explain it one by one to you all.

Let's begin.

What do these three elements represent?

I'll tell you after you're done.

What do these three elements mean?

The house

represents

your relationship with your family

and your attitude towards others.

The tree

represents

your growth,

your lifestyle,

and your career.

The person

represents

your understanding of yourself.

Captain Cheng's house, tree and person

are square and upright.

It gives people a sense of grandeur

and dignity.

I can tell that

Captain Cheng

is a very righteous,

upright,

and proper person.

There should be a plaque here:

'fair and just'.

Look at mine!

I thought we could only use pencils.

I don't think a pencil

can express

my colorful passion.

Mr. Shen,

I did art for three years when I was a kid.

I draw well, right?

Praise me.

It is pretty good.

Your drawing

has a full structure,

and is colorful.

I can tell

that inside,

you are full of emotions,

passionate and sincere,

and a little childlike.

Let me see.

This is like

the drawing level of a kindergartener.

Oh well,

a man is childish till the day he dies.

This is called being a child at heart.

Here, look at mine.

Here.

You...

can I publicly reveal

the meaning behind your drawing?

Of course,

say it.

You...

seem to be heartbroken.

Heartbroken?

You...

broke up?

Yeah,

I broke up.

Can't I?

What's wrong with breaking up? Is it weird?

Should I not break up

or should I not be in a relationship?

You should...

No, I don't mean you deserve it.

I mean... I mean I deserve it.

No, I... I... I...

What's the use of me deserving it?

No, I... I...

He...

Who... who is he?

An online friend.

I met him in person because of love.

You know, every day

in this office,

I either look at corpses

or you guys.

I can only watch short videos of

the process of repairing donkey hoofs

to relieve some stress.

We met

in the comment section.

Then why did you guys break up?

Happy breakup.

I'm talking about my hands.

He said that

me touching dead bodies at work

and then holding his hands after work

creeps him out.

These are such holy hands.

He doesn't know how to cherish them.

He has eyes but he's blind.

I often watch

videos repairing donkey hoofs, too.

It's relaxing.

But I never leave comments.

I need someone

who can understand

my job,

be proud of me,

and motivate me.

So it's okay.

He's not that kind of person.

Okay.

Your house, tree and people

are quite constructive.

You drew a building,

this means you have a high IQ.

The trees are rich

and full of vitality

meaning

you subconsciously pursue development

and career growth.

Do you see that, boss?

I'm very ambitious.

Captain Cheng,

I have something to do later

can I leave first?

Sure.

What did you draw?

Why didn't you draw anything?

It's blank.

Melt the butter using indirect heat...

It's melted.

Add two eggs...

200 grams of flour...

The fire seems too strong.

Make it smaller...

Flour...

There's a fire!

There's a lot of smoke!

Call the police!

Hurry, hurry!

Hello?

Is this 119?

Yes, yes, yes.

The fire in Xincheng Community in Beijiang

was caused by the dust explosion.

When we arrived,

the owner had already put out the fire

and the source has been removed.

We are ready

to wrap up

and leave the scene.

What caused the fire?

I was

baking cookies

and then...

Didn't you notice when we evacuated?

Why is there someone live streaming?

This is Beijiang's Xincheng Community.

One of our neighbor's house caught on fire

[Live]

and the firefighters are here.

Let me show you guys.

How did such a house

become a garbage station?

Why did this girl

pile up so much junk?

How does she live?

I didn't even know we had such a dangerous neighbor.

I can't believe we live next door to her.

Stop filming.

We are clearing the place.

Stop filming the scene.

I have to,

look at this house.

We are not done cleaning up yet,

please cooperate with us.

It's so dangerous to live above or below her.

Stop filming! Stop filming!

Don't you know this is an invasion of privacy?

Girls nowadays

look proper and clean on the outside,

yet their houses

are such a mess.

Everyone, don't block the way,

please cooperate with us, okay?

Don't block the passage,

okay?

Excuse me, stop filming.

Excuse me.

Move aside, move aside.

Step back, step back.

Please stop filming, stop filming!

That's enough!

Stop talking.

It's too messy.

Let's head down.

It's not safe.

Go down.

Let's go downstairs, okay?

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

I heard that Beijiang's Xincheng is on fire

and I couldn't reach you

so I was worried.

I didn't expect it to really be your house.

Are you sure you're okay?

Don't lie to me.

If you feel unwell,

tell me.

I'm fine.

But

I won't be able to go have dinner tonight.

Please let your mom know for me,

I'm really sorry.

This is nothing.

But with your current situation,

can you still live in this community?

These aunts...

For the next few days

the neighbors will definitely talk about it.

You can't live in your house at the moment either.

How about I find you a place

to stay for a while?

But...

what if the firefighters come looking for me?

How about this?

Tell me

the password to your house

and if the firefighters come looking for you,

let me know.

I'll take care of it for you

and help you clean up.

You don't need to help me clean,

I can do it myself.

You don't need to worry.

Okay.

Thank you.

It's so late, why are you still here?

I still have some things to do.

Why did you give us

that test today?

You can express a lot of things through drawing.

Air,

sound,

scent,

emotions.

These can all be expressed through colors.

People's hearts can be expressed, too.

Behavior is the expression of one's mind.

In criminal psychology, the process of internalization and externalization,

quantity change,

and self-defense mechanisms

can all be traced

back to the criminal's

upbringing

and social behaviors.

It is also projected onto

their entire lives.

Are you not sleeping well again?

Did the red dress

come find you again?

That's why I've been thinking,

if

I can use drawing and colors

to express

and control the criminal personality,

then maybe in the future

I can predict

an unprecedented case.

Shen Yi,

it's all in the past,

don't push yourself too hard.

Sometimes pain

is created by ourselves.

You should go home and rest.

What's wrong?

Li Han's house is on fire?

Is she okay?

Okay.

Hurry and go have a look.

Listen,

the case I was working on...

Aren't you going to go help Li Han clean up?

No need.

You even made a decision for her.

What are you talking about?

It's good for her

to live in the dormitory for a while.

She’s quite busy recently.

[Beijiang Criminal Investigation Team]

I heard you asked Li Han

to eat with your mom yesterday.

You guys are already at the stage of meeting parents,

why didn’t you tell us?

[Beijiang Criminal Investigation Team]

Don't talk nonsense.

How is Li Han's place?

I can't tell you that... I...

Captain Cheng.

Mr. Shen.

Is everyone here?

[Beijiang Criminal Investigation Team]

How is Li Han?

Li Han...

Li Han.

Morning!

Everyone's here early.

Am I late?

Li Han,

how's the investigation on the suicide website going?

Almost done.

Let me report it to you all.

In the Tian Keng case,

we found

a Suicide Valley

and through that

we discovered

a suicide website called Butterfly.

According to the feedback of the family members,

they suspect that through this website,

someone is deliberately leading the suicide.

Therefore, I applied

a weeks time

to enter

the Butterfly's group chat.

After seven days,

I noticed that the group is mostly

made up of disheartened people seeking comfort.

I didn't find

anyone suspicious who might be leading the suicide.

Among them there was an underage individual

who's guardians

I already contacted separately.

The website

should be shut down by today.

[Da Vinci requests to be friends]

Someone added me.

Not someone from the suicide group,

but an unknown account.

But I made this QQ account

specifically to undercover for this case.

Logically speaking,

it can only be found through the Butterfly website.

Not necessarily.

There are people

who just add friends randomly.

Since he already added you,

try talking to him first.

Li Han?

Okay.

Hurry and

close the Tian Keng case as well.

Don't worry.

Let's go.

Hello,

who are you?

I'm a psychologist.

Through my patient,

I saw the post

you made on the Butterfly website.

I want to talk to you.

[Mt. Fengdu's Murder Case Report]

Li Han, is this your place?

Wow,

no wonder

you never invite us to your house.

This is Beijiang's Xincheng Community.

One of our neighbors'

house caught on fire.

The firefighters are here.

Let me show you guys.

You...

feel helpless, right?

Why do you say that?

From the house, tree and people drawing you uploaded,

your house is big

and gloomy,

floating alone in the air

like both a fortress

and a prison.

Yet the person is busy

and watching from the side.

What about the tree?

Have you heard of the saying that

some parents' love

are always given at a moderate amount.

It's not so much that

the child is able to grow up happy and healthy,

and not so little that

the child grows up to be unfilial

and abandons his parents.

Not too much and not too little.

Enough to make the child

suffer.

You're here, Li Han.

Li Han?

Director Zhang,

were you looking for me?

No I wasn't.

What are you doing sitting here?

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

What can I do for you?

It's nothing.

I'll go to the bathroom then.

Okay.

-Director Zhang. -Good morning, Director Zhang.

-Good morning. -Morning.

You...

don't just focus on work.

Thank you for your concern, Director Zhang.

I'm not concerned about you,

I just want you to care more for

your subordinate.

Do I not care about you?

She's talking about Li Han.

Look at her,

she clearly has something on her mind,

can't you ask her?

With your brain,

how can I promote you?

I also think Li Han

hasn't been in a good state lately.

Why do you all feel this way?

Something like this happened at home,

it's normal

for her to be emotional.

Maybe it's more than that.

I'm worried that

maybe she was exposed to too much

negativity

while doing under cover in the suicide group.

Director Zhang–

Captain Cheng!

Mr. Shen...

Something is wrong with that Da Vinci.

It's alright,

sit down and tell me.

Yesterday, I noticed that

in the group chat

on the butterfly website

someone

uploaded

a picture of the house, tree, man.

He said

his psychiatrist asked him to draw it.

Then, someone in the group said

psychologists are liars.

I felt something was wrong

so I uploaded my own

drawing.

This is our chat history.

I went to see the doctor

and he asked me to draw a house, tree and man.

Then he told me that in my heart

I drew myself too big.

That I was paying too much attention to my feelings

and that's why I get depressed easily.

Yes, psychologists are liars.

I drew the house, tree, man today as well.

The starry sky...

is you.

Not long after,

Da Vinci

added me as a friend.

He said he's a psychologist

but I found out that he only

persuades people to be positive on the surface,

and has been

pushing negative psychological hints onto me.

He would bring up

topics like suicide

from time to time.

Sometimes,

I can't communicate with my family.

I'm really frustrated.

Many parents

force their idea of achievements

and success

onto their children

and teach them

to repay them

for everything.

This causes the child

to feel a deep sense of guilt,

in which the parents use to suppress

and control them.

Then how can I change them?

Aside from disappearing,

and making the parents regret,

nothing can change them.

[Da Vinci]

You...

talked so much with him?

Were you telling the truth?

It's for work.

He's controlling you mentally.

I also think there's something wrong with him

so I found a way

to check his friends list

and chat histories.

He has a dozen of friends

but the ones he contacted recently

apart from me

are the four people up there.

His conversations he had with these four people

contain a lot of

topic on death.

They even went through

suicide methods.

So I want to apply

to do a psychological intervention

on these four people.

Okay.

Inform their family

and the local police station.

Okay.

Li Han,

are you okay?

I'm fine.

Da Vinci created a separate group chat

with two people.

He's persuading them

to commit suicide together.

When?

Today.

Can you find

more information on those two people?

One is called Spring Light Music.

His real name is Luo Yuchen.

The address is not far from here.

The other one is called

Setting Sun.

He's in Jiangnan District.

Send me

Luo Yuchen's address.

I'll go take a look.

Send Sunset Sun to Jiang Feng,

let him go.

Okay.

Mr. Shen,

I'll get back to work.

Luo Yuchen.

Li Han,

I've arrived

at the address you mentioned.

[The camera is on] [Hang up]

Let me show you the environment.

[The camera is on.] [Hang up.]

[Tae Jaechi]

I have a dream.

You're there,

and so am I.

There is also our death.

My life is very simple.

I hunt and kill chicken.

[The camera is on] [Hang up]

People hunt me.

All chickens are the same.

Every person is the same.

Yet why do I have to live?

This question is like a shadow.

I can't get rid of it.

[The camera is on] [Hang up]

I want darkness.

Not the kind

that gets stabbed by light.

[The camera is on.] [Hang up.]

How is it?

Did you save her?

We saved her.

She's still in the ICU.

The way she committed suicide

is different from other people.

The wound is V-shape.

This type of wound is deep,

and bleeds fast

making it hard to suture.

Usually people

wouldn't use this method for suicide.

Someone must be guiding her.

No one's here.

I've already contacted

his family members.

His family is trying to find him.

If there is any news,

I'll let you know immediately.

Okay.

Why do I have to live?

This question is like a shadow.

Existence

is humanism.

Life is ridiculous and painful.

[Beijiang Branch, Beijiang City Public Security Bureau]

I asked the technical team to track

Da Vinci's IP address

and found out it's a virtual number

that acts as a substitute

jumping around various countries.

He might be an expert.

It's easy to register

this type of number.

Once it's blocked,

a new one can be registered immediately.

How is Li Han?

She's got frightened

and her excessive breathing

caused her respiratory alkaline poisoning.

Ms. He is in the hospital

with her.

The doctor said she's fine.

That's good.

No,

it's not that simple.

I've been thinking about

Li Han's state

and her drawing.

She must have

something going on.

Something that didn't just happen recently.

Then why did it explode suddenly?

So I was thinking

what happened

after her house was set on fire?

Something must have happened.

If Li Han asks,

don't tell her that I said it.

See for yourselves.

What a nice house.

How did it become a garbage station?

Why did this girl

pile up so much junk?

What happened?

I can't believe I'm living next door

to such a dangerous neighbor.

Stop filming.

Clear the space.

Don't film the scene.

What happened?

I think I know what's bothering her.

How is it?

I drew Li Han.

Why are there two Li Han?

In the videos online,

I saw a lot of

things that should've been thrown away

or sold.

It is opposite to

how she looks

on the outside.

This behavior

is like an old man.

Old people in that era

had difficult living conditions

so they would try to save up as much as possible.

Speaking of which,

Li Han seems to have grown up

with her grandmother.

No wonder,

on her sofa,

there is a hand-sewn

panda.

Pandas, you know?

I know.

Just...

a panda

dressed up as a swordsman?

Or is it a hero

dressed up as a panda?

Forget it.

I forgot that you and Li Han

are not from the same era.

It's okay.

It's just a

toy panda

that can be bought anywhere.

Yet Li Han's panda

was made out of

old clothes sewn together.

Her grandma

probably made it for her.

So her grandmother loved her very much.

She wanted to

make one for her personally.

That's normal.

There's another possibility.

While other kids

showed off

their authentic pandas,

this knock-off Panda

probably caused her inferiority complex.

So I made a assumption.

Li Han

may have secretly sworn that

one day when she is capable,

she must give herself

a bad life.

I'm so tired.

Let's order some coffee.

I'm so tired today,

I bought a cup of raw coconut latte.

It tastes pretty good.

Why don't you just make one yourself?

I refuse low-quality life.

This bag is pretty nice.

But childhood habits like this

where things can't be thrown away

as long as it's not worn out

has been deeply implanted.

In the end,

the less she wants,

the more she makes the same mistake.

Gradually,

she started to hoard

like her grandma.

Li Han's love of hoarding

seems to have been stemmed

from her

childhood trauma.

In Li Han's heart,

this became a thorn.

And this thorn

was suddenly

exposed in front of everyone.

The comments

filled with sarcasm and criticism

once again revealed

the scar in her heart.

Right at this time,

Da Vinci took advantage of it.

Here's the salmon you ordered.

Enjoy.

Thank you.

Xuanxuan Restaurant has lived up to its reputation.

You should have told me

you liked this restaurant.

Well now you know.

This is our family's restaurant.

You can come

whenever you want.

No need to line up.

Don't just take photos,

hurry and try it.

Here.

How is it?

Delicious!

Eat more.

By the way,

I have good news.

Do you remember the one who cut her wrist?

Luo Yuchen, right?

The hospital contacted me

and told me she's no longer in danger

and was transferred to a general ward.

Really?

That's great.

I hope

she can pull herself together

and forget what those bad guys said.

You too.

Grilled pigeon.

Enjoy.

Mom.

My eldest son!

Auntie.

My name is Li Han,

I'm Jiang Feng's colleague.

I heard a lot about you from my son.

Have a seat!

How is it?

Is it good?

I hope I didn't ruin

your expectation towards Xuanxuan Restaurant.

Of course not.

By the way auntie,

this is a small gift for you.

There are cookies inside.

I wanted to

make them for you myself

but it failed.

But this shop is also very famous.

Please try it.

Look at you,

you even brought me a gift.

I heard

your house caught on fire

because you were making cookies for me.

I feel really bad

about it.

I only told her it caught on fire.

I didn't say anything else.

Did you see the video

I just sent you?

I think I saw your son

at the end of it.

What a nice house.

How did it become a garbage station?

Why did this girl

pile up so much junk?

How does she live?

Mom,

can you turn your phone

to silent mode?

Why are you playing it so loudly?

Sorry... something came up...

I have to go...

Li Han.

Don't take it to heart,

I don't even care about it,

really.

A girl

just needs to look clean and proper when outside.

It's not that big of a deal,

if you don't want that place anymore

you can stay at my place.

I care a lot about hygiene

I'll clean your room every day.

You will definitely be able to get rid of

those bad habits.

Mom!

Can you stop talking?

I...

I'm sorry.

Haven't you said enough?

It's my own problem.

I'm sorry.

I didn't expect the neighbors

to take pictures of you.

I'll go find her

and ask her to delete the video.

It's already been taken

and it's not like I'm afraid they'll see it.

We just like to save things.

So what if everyone knows?

It's not embarrassing.

Yes...

Aunt,

I really have something to do. I have to go.

Xuan Xuan.

Who is it?

Shen Yi.

Excuse me.

I...

Can I come in?

Do I need to change my shoes?

Come on in.

Now you all know

my secret.

I'm pathetic, right?

You're too nervous, Li Han.

I don't think so.

What's pathetic about this?

Everyone has secrets.

I do, too.

It's not a big deal.

But some secrets

are meant to be kept a secret.

Is it...

a secret about your grandma?
