Episode 041
Congratulations. You got another first class award.
A first class award and a special class award,
you're the first in 701's history.
Dean, I can't take this medal.
Why?
The Black Code was only a trick used by the enemy.
If I get a first class award from figuring out a trick,
I think, that will be an insult to my intelligence.
That's why, I suggest canceling the medal.
Even if it was a trick, you still decoded it.
You have to receive this award.
This is the work of
all the comrades in the hidden frontline and 701.
But, I agree with you.
Then we won't be having an award ceremony.
Even if we won't have a big ceremony,
we can still have a small party among ourselves.
Here it is.
Let me see it so that I can feel happy.
I never had a first class award in my life,
not to mention a special class award.
I envy you.
Sir!
Chief Rong, we just decoded a Black Code message.
"Awaken all the followers immediately."
"Target is Tian Yuan. Eliminate immediately."
Professor John said that, he'll come to China soon.
And he wants to meet me.
I thought that I should report this to the organization.
We already know the situation.
This letter has passed the examination.
The organization wanted you to see the letter.
When you just got in 701 and was still in training,
this Professor John already sent you some letters.
Moreover, he mentioned the Purple Code in the letters on his own.
We think that his opinions gave us some insights.
That's why the organization decided to imitate you to send him letters.
We didn't tell you because of your condition back then.
We hope that you can understand.
I understand.
After that,
John Li didn't send you any letters during this 1 year.
We didn't think that he would suddenly appear again
to contact you.
We already reported this to Dean Gao.
He ordered me, Chief Li,
and you to discuss this.
I want to see his past letters.
Have you been wanting to decode the Purple Code?
then I'll tell you,
I am the one who designed the Purple Code.
The research funding that I applied for has passed.
I may be creating my own personal research office.
Are you talking about the theory of the bi-directionality of numbers?
Yeah. Didn't you help me to prove it?
We can work together to design a code that's more
strange and more elegant than the Purple Code.
I won't work with you.
Then did your Professor John tell you,
But I do.
I have my own political believes.
I have my own belief.
If Awakener wanted to escape, then why did he
order Zhen to kill Rong Jinzhen within 2 days. There's only 2 possible reasons.
One, he has grudge against Rong Jinzhen.
Second, is that he might have a bigger plan,
and Rong Jinzhen is his biggest threat.
I understand it. I finally understand it.
What are you talking about?
The Black Code, he's the one who designed it.
He is afraid that I would decode the Black Code, that's why he wanted to kill me.
Of course, he hates me too.
He hated me for not following him. He hated me for decoding the Purple Code.
I was stupid.
Why didn't I think of it?
It's the bi-directional theory of numbers!
Rong Jinzhen, what are you talking about?
That telegram message,
said that they will be awakening the last followers,
and their mission is to eliminate Tian Yuan.
And I'm Tian Yuan.
I think, I know the identity of Awakener.
Sir! You're also here.
Madam and your sister have gone missing.
I request again that we bring the team to execute this mission.
No, I don't agree to it.
Dean, I'm definitely not being rash.
Don't say anymore.
Deputy Directory Wu has already launch a rescue mission. I understand how you feel.
But, you can't go there personally.
It's clear why the Awakener kidnapped Madam and your sister.
He wanted you to go to him.
We can't fall for it. It's too dangerous.
I have to go, because his target is me.
I know John, if I don't appear,
he will definitely kill Madam and my sister.
I request to go on this mission with Comrade Rong Jinzhen.
- Is everything okay? - Yes.
This morning, Comrade Xiao Lian has called the police station,
she said that Madam and your sister have gone missing.
I rushed here immediately after the call.
Sorry, it's all because of me.
I didn't take care of Madam and Professor Rong well.
I'm Rong Jinzhen.
Ming Zhou Rd, Catholic Church. You have to be here before 11am.
Remember, bring the photo that you took with Professor John.
It was too short. We can't be sure of the location.
Deputy Director Wu, please send some force to the Catholic Church in Ming Zhou Rd.
Okay.
Why does he want you to send the picture?
I don't know.
What is it?
Sorry, I forgot to take the photo.
I'll be back.
"11 o'clock. Telephone booth in the train station. Get rid of all people. You have to come alone."
Do you have any business here?
Do you have any rooms in here?
We do.
Bring us there.
Chief Han, what is happening?
Chief Rong!
What is this?
I don't know.
Chief Rong!
Chief Rong
How can Chief Rong do this? How are we going to tell the organization?
Hurry up and get in the car. Chief Rong escaped.
Hello?
Do you see the garbage can next to the wall?
Put your gun in there.
Do as I say.
Where is madam and sister?
You will be able to see them as long as you follow my instructions.
Now, go buy a train ticket that goes to Liu Zhou and departs at 11:12.
But there's only 8 minutes left.
Then you have to pray.
If you can buy a ticket and rush to the train, we'll meet in car no.7.
Excuse me. Excuse me. Excuse me.
- Hey, what are you doing? - I have some important matter.
Please give me a ticket to Liu Zhou that departs at 11:12.
Ticket gate
Thank you.
Why are you here?
Did you think you can get rid of me?
I don't have time to fight with you. Hurry and go back.
I can't let you go by yourself.
Their people are watching me.
If they find you, they'll kill madam and sister.
If you go, you'll die too.
I can't think about that anymore.
What about me? Did you even think of me?
I left a letter in that mailbox.
If I can't go back today, you have to promise me, live well.
Let me go, I really don't have time.
I only have you right now, I can't lose you.
Him too.
I'm pregnant.
You have to come back alive.
Madam! Sister!
Sit.
Long time no see.
You don't want to shake hands with your teacher?
What do you want?
Is this how your treat your mentor?
My mentor is the headmaster.
He is dead. But your subordinates are holding to gun to his widow's head.
Look, you've now learned to speak well.
This is between you and me. Let Madam and sister go.
Don't make me look down on you.
Zhai Li reporting. Comrade Rong Jinzhen is threatened by the enemy spy,
he already went on the 1584 train going to Liu Zhou. I repeat, 1584 train.
- Hello, Deputy Director Wu. - Let me introduce to you,
This is Chief Lei, and this is station head Yu.
Hello.
I'll not waste time on formalities since it's extremely important. Please make a report to the Railway Department immediately and inform the Central Station to
Stop Train No. 1584 when it reaches the station. We have to do a thorough search of the train.
Okay.
You decoded my Black Code too.
Is that a surprise?
The Black Code was only a trick.
You know it better than anyone else,
you can't design a code that's better than the Purple Code.
I just don't want to. How would you know I can't do it.
That would be impossible for you.
You have lost yourself in the study of the theory of bi-directional numbers.
I can never escape from the labyrinth that you made on your own.
That's why you used the most basic, easiest code to trick me.
You don't deserve to be a mathematician.
You're just a liar.
Really, I'm look down on you right now.
Rong Jinzhen, I remember you were a respectful student before.
I still am, unfortunately,
you're not a good teacher.
Okay. I understand.
Chief Lei, Train No. 1584 has forcefully left the Central Station.
We think that the train is controlled by the enemy already.
Station head Yu, I can tell you, there's a really important comrade on train no. 1584.
To protect him, I want you to stop the train by all means.
Conductor Office
Everything is ready. I'm willing to do as you command.
Now, you should return the things you don't need to me.
You're still stupid.
I don't want this. I want your brain, your talent.
Rong Jinzhen, I helped develop you math thinking.
If you didn't have me, you'll still be the Big Head Rong who counts ants.
I taught you what real math is.
I gave you your everything.
I admit,
this battle between us, I lost.
Purple Code and Black Code are just like my family.
Do you know how painful it is to lose a family member?
Now, madam and your sister are tied with bombs.
I will let you taste
how it's like to lose your family.
Didn't you throw away your gun?
Waiting Room
I'm back.
When the peaceful sunlight finally lands on the ground,
701 officially disbanded.
The stories of the heroes slowly disappear in history.
Some of them became eternal secrets.
People might forget about them slowly. But history won't.
That motto had long been ingrained into the minds of everyone from 701.
"No one will know your name,
but your work will stay with the world.
Dean Rong, did you see the interview material?
I did.
I don't have anything to say.
We all know that there are a lot of legends in 701,
can you briefly introduce them to us?
They're all here.
You can ask them.
As the last dean,
can you at least tell us how you feel?
701 is a group like this,
brave, loyal,
and work for the country.
I gave all I had for this cause,
there's nothing to regret when I die.
It's easy to enter 701, but it's difficult to leave.
From the moment you came into 701,
Since you're born to be a member of 701, you will die for 701 as a martyr.
The peace is great.
Sorry, I have to make dumplings for my secretary.
Excuse me.
You're a liar. You said you wanted me to solve a problem. But you make me run every day.
If I can't run anymore, they'll even scold me.
Rong Jinzhen is the most promising out of everyone in this special training. He's one of mine.
We need more time, more patience, and more energy to train him.
You have talent. And your talent is our hope.
That's why, you have to work hard.
Be confident.
You are stupid. What can you do?
You're a great fool who cannot succeed at anything!
definitely holds the code. We must find him.
You go first. I'll stay here.
Won't you be at an even greater risk of exposing yourself if I leave first?
We can't both die.
You have to get out alive.
Love is a luxury for the people in 701.
We must prioritize our country first.
So what if we have to sacrifice our own feelings and relationships
for the sake of our country?
