(Robot No. 8 2022)

No. 8, you're finally here.

(Attack Mode)

No. 8.

No. 8!

No. 8!

When love turns into hatred,

it can never stop.

No. 8!

No. 8!

No. 8.

No. 8!

No. 8!

Luo Shaodian.

I will destroy

anything you hold dear.

No!

The Metal Heart is mine!

(One Week Ago)

Danger. Failed operation.

Terminate the operation!

Check for abnormal equipment!

Xiaoke.

How can we get into the research center?

(Entrance)

I stole

my dad's pass.

Don't ever think about

a foreign research institute

that can participate in our research project.

The Metal Heart is Dr. Luo's personal research.

Stop!

Stop!

Dad.

Experiment completed.

Why are you here? Go!

Dad!

-Dad! -Xiaoke.

Don't go there!

-Xiaoke. -Dad!

Let go of me!

Dad!

Xiaoke!

Let go of me!

Go!

Don't come over!

Let go of me!

Xiaoke!

Take Xiaoke and run!

Let go of me!

-Run! -Dad!

Go, Xiaoke!

Don't come over.

Go!

-Doctor. -Take them away.

-Please save my dad! -Go, now!

Save my dad!

Dad!

-Dad! -Let’s go.

Let's go! Go!

Dad!

Xiaoke!

Dad!

Dad!

Go!

Let go of me!

Let's go. Hurry!

All cyborgs

execute the chase order.

This way.

Let's go.

(Fire Hydrant)

(Smoke Vent)

(Smoke Vent)

Let's go.

Hurry!

Go!

Let's go.

Go.

We've received a report from the cyborg research center.

They were attacked by their cyborgs.

The PTU is on its way.

Captain! Captain!

I'm Star.

We have located the suspects,

and we're pursuing them.

Stay alert.

This is Yang Han.

We've searched the research center.

No one survived.

The attacker has escaped.

Please be careful.

-Xiaoke! -No one survived?

What about my dad?

Please step back.

Don't shoot.

I'm the head of the research center, Xu Zhe.

I called the police.

I'm the deputy captain

of the Special Weapons Detachment

of the PTU, Star.

Please come back with us for the investigation.

My dad is still at the research center!

Xiaoke.

Don't worry.

Go back with the PTU first.

Let's get back to it when we get to a safe place.

You don't have to do this.

It won't hurt you.

Little girl.

Before we confirm

if this cyborg will hurt humans,

my teammates have to be on guard.

Dr. Xu.

Why did the cyborgs in the center

suddenly go on a killing spree?

Maybe there was something wrong with the experiment.

It's you who gave them the wrong order to kill people?

Of course not.

How could I do that?

Are you

controlling this cyborg?

No.

Then who is?

I don't know.

Stay on alert!

Captain.

We found three survivors

and a cyborg.

We can't rule out the possibility of them being suspects for the time being.

We're going back to headquarters now.

Go.

No. 8.

Thanks to you.

Otherwise, it would be so dangerous.

A cyborg!

Can we shake it off?

Sit tight.

Captain!

We're under attack!

Request backup.

Roger.

Send us your coordinates.

Try to delay it.

We'll be there as soon as possible.

Hit it.

Star.

There's a junkyard at 11 o'clock ahead.

Let's lure those robots in and take it.

Xiaoke, come here.

Protect Dr. Xu and the others.

Fire!

(Attack Mode)

Run!

Run!

No. 8! No. 8! Run!

Get in!

-Go! -Hurry!

Star!

(Explosive)

Come on!

Attention, all units in the northwest region.

Unit 27

had a clash with the riot cyborgs

and suffered heavy casualties.

They need emergency assistance.

Location:

34.57 degrees north

and 102.41 degrees east.

The head of the cyborg research center,

Luo Shaodian, is alive or dead.

The key research results were stolen.

Five human-shaped mechanical crafts disappeared.

The suspect, Xu Zhe, is on the run.

Please cooperate with each other in order to apprehend him.

What does that mean?

We are suspects now?

Don't touch it.

Why does it look like something on Chen Nan?

The Metal Heart?

Dad.

What is the Metal Heart?

It's an extraterrestrial silicon-based life form

discovered by your uncle Luo.

The research center has been trying

to install it on cyborgs.

So we call it the "Metal Heart."

Then why is it on Chen Nan's body?

She was parasitized.

Chen Nan has always been very radical.

She wants human experiments

and a Gaia project

that combines silicon-based life forms with human bodies.

It seems

that she implanted the silicon-based life

-into her body behind Dr. Luo's back. -Chen Nan.

You failed.

I didn't!

I'm sponsoring you to carry out the Gaia project

for a complete Metal Heart.

I don't have much patience.

I'll get the other half of the heart.

And I don't need you anymore!

The Metal Heart has no self-awareness.

Once it parasitizes on a human body,

it will emit strong energy.

But after the parasitization,

it will gain the consciousness of the host.

That means

only by putting it

on a cyborg with no consciousness.

is safe?

You're right.

But with only half of the heart,

Chen Nan will gradually be taken over by the silicon-based life form.

Her situation is very dangerous too.

No wonder she would control

those cyborgs to hunt us down.

She wants the Metal Heart.

Turn off the positioning system on No. 8.

The Metal Heart

is the Doctor's most important research result.

We can't let Chen Nan take it away.

Throw away all your terminal devices.

We don't want to be found by the GPS.

It's fine that we are only being chased by Chen Nan,

but the PTU also sees us as suspects.

We don't even have a place to hide.

I'm exhausted.

I'll conduct

a reverse experiment for you

to cut off the parasitic life form from you.

Am I going to die?

You'll be fine

as long as we take it out.

Shaodian.

Shaodian.

Run!

You're fighting me.

Who's speaking?

It's you.

I'm the one you want to be most.

What do you want?

Who are you?

What are you doing?

Luo Shaodian didn't love you.

You sacrificed everything for him,

but he still didn't love you.

So, you hate him.

You hate him so much that you want to destroy him.

Chen Nan.

Look what you've done.

Overseas research company,

mercenaries,

and this base.

Do you think you can

fulfill your desire with these?

It's none of your business!

What can you do as a weak person?

I killed Luo Shaodian for you!

Even if you destroy his study,

you still can't one-up him in research.

You didn't win!

You love him.

A weak love.

So what?

He was so excellent.

He never saw me.

I love him.

But I could only look up to him.

But I want to beat him.

Become me.

You'll have everything you want.

As long as you pay for your desire,

you can become me.

Gaia.

I am the face of your hatred.

We can live

only if we find you.

Gaquan!

Liu Gaquan!

Xu Zhe?

Xu!

Why did you come to my place?

Put down the hammer first.

I thought you were the creditors!

Something happened to Shaodian.

The research institute is destroyed,

and he is gone.

What did you do to the robot

to make it look like shit?

In this place?

Fix it?

Just demolish it and sell it as scrap.

It looks like shit.

What else do you want?

Forget it if you don't want to help.

You don't have to say that.

Uncle Quan, don't be offended.

My sister...

She didn't mean that.

Luo's daughter has a temper.

Xu Mu!

Let me help you.

You haven't logged in yet?

(Incident) (Saving)

I just ask you to keep watch for me

so that I can escape.

There's no need to hack into the surveillance.

How can I keep watch for you

if I don't hack into the surveillance?

What if your dad finds out that you joined

the moon landing program when he comes back?

Uncle Luo.

Why don't you listen to me?

Dad.

Just let me go.

If you wish to leave home,

you have to get my permission first.

But children have to leave their parents someday.

But I just won't agree

with you going to the moon!

Dad, why are you so stubborn?

Do you know how much I want to go to the moon?

You...

I need to go to the research center.

Xiaoke!

Xiaoke.

It's okay.

I'm here.

Here.

A pot of beautiful flowers.

Do you like it?

I don't like that Uncle Quan.

He just has a potty mouth.

He's nice to people.

Did you see that

his look at No. 8

seemed a bit off?

Xu.

You just told me

that all the cyborgs at your research institute

are controlled by Chen Nan.

So,

why wasn't No.8?

The system of it

might be another system design by Doctor.

Another system?

It's probably

related to Xiaoke.

Dad.

Where are you?

I didn't expect you to comfort me.

Is this a program my dad wrote?

Or...

did you also understand emotions?

Didn't my dad design a language system for you?

That does sound like his style.

He never tells me anything.

Actually,

it's me who doesn't talk to him.

The older I get,

the less we communicate.

Do you think he's still alive?

He must be alive.

I can feel it.

Xu Mu.

Why did you come down?

What are you doing so early in the morning?

You don't even have a bed.

I got you some wood.

I want to make you a princess bed.

Are you really planning to stay here for a long time?

You see, for the time being,

there's nowhere else to go, right?

Where is No. 8?

No. 8?

Early this morning,

my dad took over Uncle Quan's lab

to work on repairing No. 8.

Once that guy is fixed,

what are your plans?

Chen Nan is after us.

And PTU

is hunting us.

It's staying here with you

puts my mind at ease.

Sure,

you can stay here securely.

It's very safe here.

Once everything settles down,

I'll send him back to the research center.

Are you really planning to return to the research center?

I want to find my dad.

He's my only family

in this world.

My dad and Uncle Quan definitely wouldn't agree

to you going back and taking risks.

I'll do it secretly.

Why are you here at the lab

in the middle of the night?

You scared me.

I came to bring you a glass of milk.

Is that all?

Hurry up.

Go to sleep.

Okay.

Sit tight.

No. 8,

are you going to hand us over to Uncle Quan?

Then move aside.

I'm going to find my dad.

What are you doing?

Why are you always following us,

like a tail?

I'll go check the car in the yard first.

Take your time.

Xu Mu,

what you're doing is very irresponsible,

you know?

It was me who wanted to leave.

It was me who stole the car key.

It was me who pressured Xu Mu into this.

If you want to scold anyone, scold me.

Xiaoke.

I understand that

you want to meet your father.

But Chen Nan and PTU

are searching for us everywhere.

If you recklessly go out,

what if you encounter danger?

But my dad is also in danger now.

I must find him!

Xiaoke!

Your father may have already died.

You can't risk it

just for your own obsession.

My dad isn't dead.

He's just injured.

He will never leave me behind!

Xiaoke!

I don't want to see you! Leave!

(Luncheon Meat)

(Canned Ham Luncheon Meat)

(Luncheon Meat)

(Canned Ham Luncheon Meat)

(Luncheon Meat)

(Canned Ham Luncheon Meat)

I said I don't want to see you again!

Honey milk?

An oversaturated solution,

that's when at a certain temperature and pressure,

when the concentration of solute in the solution

exceeds the solubility

of the solute at that temperature and pressure,

it remains an unsaturated solution.

I will perform an experiment for you.

Just wait.

Honey

is a glucose oversaturated solution,

and it can create stratification with milk

because of honey's saturation phenomenon.

I'll stir it gently.

And the honey

gradually

dissolves in the milk.

This here

is the instability of oversaturated solutions.

Xiaoke.

Do you understand?

Dad.

I want to drink this.

Drink it.

My dad used to make

this honey milk for me quite often.

Why do you know how to make it?

Did my dad teach you to make it?

Now I realize

how much I relied on him.

No. 8,

you know where my dad is, isn't you?

Why are you stopping me from finding him?

As far back as I can remember,

my dad has always taken care of me.

When I was little, I would ask him

about my mom.

And he would say

she went to the moon.

From that time,

I was determined

to go to the moon someday.

Now that I'm older.

I know

my mom isn't really on the moon.

But I still want to go.

Because this dream

was planted in my heart by my dad.

But I was always thinking about my dream

of going to the moon,

and often overlooking his feelings.

I even kept opposing him.

No. 8,

did I make him sad and disappointed?

I really miss him.

And I want to apologize to him.

Why am I telling you all of this?

You wouldn't understand.

Thank you for the honey milk.

Tomorrow.

Stop waiting.

That girl is very stubborn.

If one day she takes the robot

and runs away,

I won't have time for anything.

That thing

is definitely related to Luo's metal heart.

Can you guarantee

that it's the metal heart we want?

I can guarantee it.

I'll rely on him

to settle my debts.

Xu.

Come over here.

No. 8,

execute the pause program!

Are you crazy?

You've even included martial arts

in the system program?

It's to enhance its performance

based on my personal interests.

This is not going too far.

It's too violent.

Delete it, please.

Please.

This is just

a sports program.

It's not meant for aggression.

Besides,

I've installed a pause program.

What's this now?

How many programs did you put into No. 8?

I didn't do this.

Open it and take a look.

Begin the decryption operation.

(File encryption)

It's encrypted.

Did Luo do this?

Call the police.

Maybe

this is the key data

for the metal heart.

I didn't issue any command.

Why did it get out?

It's probably gone to find Xiaoke.

It's just a cyborg,

how could it...

No. 8.

You're amazing.

Let's go.

Go fix the car.

We're all busy working, looking for tools,

and how come she treats you so nicely?

What's that sound?

Stand still.

Who are you?

That's right, this is it.

This is the metal heart.

What metal heart?

-Don’t move. -Who are you?

Where is Liu Gaquan?

We're here to pick up the goods.

Pick up the goods?

What goods?

-Stay away from my sister! -Go away!

What are you doing?

Who asked you to come?

I asked them to come.

Xiaoke!

-Dad! -Xu Mu!

Dad!

-Kids, don’t move! -Uncle Xu!

Move again,

and I can't guarantee your safety.

-Go! -Let go of my dad!

The metal heart you want

is inside the robot.

Check it out.

Let's

settle the accounts!

Boss.

Boss, are you alright?

Liu Gaquan,

it seems your goods aren't ready yet.

This is just an accident.

Look this!

FM08!

Stop!

You're really something.

We received news

that after the body of Dr. Luo Shaodian went missing,

the precious metal heart went missing as well.

We didn't expect it to be here.

What did you just say?

My dad is missing!

He didn't die, right?

Right?

What are you doing?

You! Stop him!

Stop! Please!

FM08, stop!

Don't come over!

Don't come over!

Don't come over!

Don't come over!

Don’t come over!

Xu Mu.

Don’t do this.

Dad!

He had a gun pointed at you.

Why are you still protecting him?

It's his own problem.

I was wrong.

I was truly blinded by my desires.

The debt collectors wanted to break my legs,

so I had to hide in this ditch.

I had no other choice!

I had no other choice!

Who are they?

Foreign...

Foreign...

A foreign research institute.

How dare you sell his stuff abroad?

Isn't he already dead?

Liu Gaquan!

We've been brothers for over a decade.

And I trusted you so much.

Why did you have to do such a dirty thing?

I really like money.

I went abroad

for money!

I got expelled from a foreign research institute

for money!

I came back from abroad

with a load of debt.

How come neither you

nor Luo Shaodian

helped out your brother?

Xu Zhe.

Have you ever fought for me,

even just once?

The metal heart.

Yes.

I wanted to sell it.

What's wrong?

I want to sell it!

The brotherly bond between us

has long faded.

In your heart,

you only consider Luo Shaodian as your brother.

I'm nothing in your eyes!

Dad.

(Decryption complete)

Dad.

What about him?

Bring him here.

Xiaoke.

Sorry.

Dad's sick.

I can't accompany you anymore.

I got this wound by accident

when I was doing experiments.

What is Mr. Luo

doing?

He seems to be programming No. 8.

It's actually

an extraterrestrial silicon-based life.

It's magical

but also dangerous.

It's not that

I don't agree with you to explore the moon.

I know

it has been your dream since you were young.

It's just that

I don't have much time left.

I want to spend more time with you

before I leave.

I want to see you more.

I don't want to leave you.

I'm worried that you can't take care of yourself.

Xiaoke.

No. 8

is my last gift to you.

It's kept

all my memories

since you were born.

The moment I leave this world,

it will wake up.

It’ll accompany you

on behalf of me

with my memories.

I'm not sure

if it's right to do so,

but this is the only way I can think of

to protect you till the end.

It turns out that

this is a substitute for Luo.

Where's Xiaoke?

She ran away.

Get her back now.

Tell her

No. 8 is his father.

No.

No. 8 has her father's memories.

It's useless.

She ran away with the car left by the foreigner.

How can we find her?

No. 8.

Mr. Luo.

Please stay.

Your looks are quite special.

It's easy to get yourself exposed.

Captain Star.

I'm Xu Zhe.

Luo Xiaoke

may have gone back to the research center.

Captain.

Inform all squads

to cooperate with the search and interception.

Squad A.

Go to the northwest and search

as soon as possible.

Yes.

Squad B.

Go to the research center.

Luo Xiaoke

may go back there again.

Yes.

Squad C.

Let's go to the Gobi desert

and bring Xu Zhe back.

Yes.

Why does everywhere look the same?

(Out of Service)

(Search)

(Connected)

(Locating)

Luo Shaodian.

Your daughter has showed up.

Where is the metal heart?

I'll find out soon.

Bring her back.

(Calculating Distance)

(Calculating Data) (Fast Bus System)

(Radar)

Captain.

-Target spotted. -Confirm her location immediately.

Ask the northwest squad

to help intercept her.

Yes.

Luo Shaodian.

Where is the other half of the metal heart?

The 109th experiment

of transplanting a silicon-based life into a cyborg.

Do you want to connect?

Cut off the connection.

Conduct the human body experiment.

It's a pity

to put such an advanced life

into a cyborg.

Chen Nan, Dr. Luo said

the human body connection would be dangerous.

Luo Shaodian was too conservative.

Luo Shaodian.

I will prove to you

the research you objected to.

-Chen Nan. -Don’t come over.

Go to the control panel.

Terminate the experiment immediately.

Connected. Under transmission.

Terminate the experiment.

-Terminate the experiment now! -Transmission completed.

Terminate the connection.

Terminate!

Terminate it!

Chen Nan.

Chen Nan.

Chen Nan.

Zhang.

Connect the cyborg.

Pull the silicon-based life out of Chen Nan's body.

Connecting.

Activated.

Danger. Operation failed.

Extraction terminated.

Extraction terminated.

Chen Nan.

How do you feel?

I won't kill you

unless I get the full metal heart.

Xiaoke is located ahead.

Follow up.

Yes.

Are you Luo Xiaoke?

I'm from the Northwest Squad of the PTU.

Please go back to the headquarters with us.

Madam.

You got the wrong person.

Pupil scan confirmed.

Luo Xiaoke, 19 years old.

Blood type, AH plus.

I don't have to read the other information, right?

Get off the car.

We've been looking for you.

The tire blew out.

Get off and check.

Luo Xiaoke.

Long time no see.

Chen Nan.

How could I be Chen Nan?

Take a good look.

Chen Nan is dead.

I'm Gaia.

Why did you hurt my dad?

What did you do to him?

If you want to see your father,

then tell me

where the other part of the metal heart is.

Where is my dad?

What?

Don't you recognize your dad?

Luo Xiaoke.

Your dad is still alive.

Just tell me

where the other part of the metal heart is.

I will keep him alive.

Let me out!

Where is the robot

your dad used

for transmission experiments?

I won't tell you.

Captain Star.

Where's Xiaoke?

Our team members

got attacked

on their way bringing Xiaoke back.

She was taken away.

Calm down.

Both of my team members died

in order to bring Luo Xiaoke back.

No. 8.

It's not the PTU's fault.

Dr. Xu.

What happened?

Who is controlling the cyborg

that took Luo Xiaoke away?

This cyborg

not only has Dr. Luo's memories,

but also the most important research result of him.

Those mechanical bodies captured Xiaoke

to get it.

It was Chen Nan.

If you knew it was Chen Nan,

why are you arresting us?

We just found out

that Chen Nan has been in touch with a foreign research company.

It seems that

they want to steal Dr. Luo's research result.

It's not that simple.

Chen Nan is now parasitized

by a special living creature.

She has mutated.

What?

I'm afraid she's not controlled

by a foreign research company.

Captain Star.

Please help us save Xiaoke.

What?

Chen Nan was parasitized by an alien.

She's way more powerful now.

Don't waste time.

Just get more people

to save Xiaoke.

It finally showed up.

Bring it here.

Take them away.

Get the grenade!

Go!

No. 8.

Mr. Luo.

We can't let them destroy No. 8.

If No. 8 is ruined,

everything's over.

You want to use the metal heart

to overload energy?

No.

It'll kill both of you

and the metal heart.

Go!

You attacked with the power of the metal heart.

Amazing.

Mr. Luo, you're a genius.

Have you found

Xiaoke's location?

Dr. Xu.

The headquarters ordered you

to stand by with Xu Mu and No. 8

and wait for medical rescue.

Captain Star.

Can you stop it?

No. 8, you're finally here.

Luo Shaodian has hidden the metal heart within your body.

All right.

I'll get it.

No. 8.

No. 8.

No. 8.

Luo Shaodian.

You have Luo Shaodian's consciousness?

No.

You are Luo Shaodian.

How come you transferred your consciousness

to a cyborg?

Chen Nan.

Why did you turn yourself into this?

Why?

Because of you.

Dr. Luo, you're well respected by others.

Why would you care about

a researcher's feelings for you?

Why is my love to you

like dust

under your feet?

Chen Nan.

I have a family.

I have a daughter.

I want to take care of her

until she grows up.

I don't want her to get hurt.

I know your feelings for me,

but I can't accept it.

Daughter?

Luo Shaodian, I hate you.

I'll destroy everything you cherish.

Your career, your daughter.

I'll stand in a higher position than yours

and step on you to the dust.

Chen Nan.

Stop.

No.

Luo Shaodian.

When love becomes hatred,

it will never stop.

No. 8.

No. 8.

No. 8.

How are you?

No. 8.

No. 8.

No. 8.

Luo Shaodian.

I will destroy

everything you cherish.

Luo Xiaoke.

Kill your father's brain!

Kill my father?

Why?

I don't know.

But Dr. Xu said

if Xiaoke is in danger,

there's only one way

to activate all the power of No. 8.

How?

This is the only way

to awaken No. 8 completely.

No. 8.

Get up.

Luo Xiaoke.

Your father is dead.

Do you want No. 8 to be killed as well?

No, I don't.

Luo Xiaoke.

Turn off the life support system.

Hurry!

No.

No.

No!

No. 8.

Turn off the life support system!

No!

Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

No.

The metal heart is mine.

Dad!

Dad.
