In the Name of People
Episode 53
Me and him...
we decided a few spots...
If I can pass the border...
we meet at "3 Season's Hotel" in Hong Kong!
And if you can't? - In my home town.
Yantai, Dabei Lake, Huli village?
There's an island in the lake.
I know!
You and your sister came from there!
Contact Yantai police, search the lake-island of Huli village!
Beware, the target has a sniper rifle!
This bureau chief knows psychology!
Qi Tongwei won't get away this time!
Hard to say secretary Tian, our opponent is Qi Tongwei!
The former provincial police chief!
Chief Sha, the police is ready!
Tongwei, why are you here?!
Hmm...
And your comrades?
I got no comrades... I'm here to visit you.
You must have run into some obstacle!
I'm hungry! - Get inside, I'll cook now!
And what if...
you get caught?
Does he have no other plan or strategy?
No!
I asked him, he said nothing.
He just said...
"that would be fate"!
So he submits to fate and didn't say anything?
I mean, in case you get caught?
No...
We were both quite sad back then.
With tears facing each other?
You must say something!
You think I'd still lie you at this moment?
I don't want him to die!
I also don't want our matters to drag down our kid!
I get it, you reap what you sow!
He just told me a story.
I still don't know what it means!
It's about a Christian man.
He can't swim, but fell into the sea.
When he struggled in the sea, he saw a ship.
The people aboard wanted to save him, but he refused:
"I want my god to save me!"
So he kept struggling,
then came a 2nd ship.
They wanted to save him again, but he said:
"no, I wait for my god to save me"!
In the end he drowned.
Then he went to heaven and met god,
he complained why god didn't save him.
But god said:
"actually, I sent 2 ships to save you",
"but you didn't wanna get aboard"!
That's the story!
It seems you haven't really entered Qi Tongwei's heart!
He was talking about his glory and honor!
God, gave him 2 chances already!
I suggest we stop the questioning!
I know where Qi Tongwei is, he's at Guyingling!
Where is Guyingling?
Guyingling... sounds so familiar! (means "lone-eagle valley")
Yeah, I also feel I heard it before!
But what does Guyingling have to do with Qi Tongwei?
What's your basis?
I'll explain later, organize the police now!
Alright Liangping, let's get to the police HQ now!
I picked up a penny on the roadside... (a children's song about returning lost goods)
I put it in the hand of uncle police... (a children's song about returning lost goods)
The food is on the stove, it's ready soon!
I don't have any gourmet here!
Mountain life is best!
No conflicts, no fighting...
No life-death struggles!
Although it's true, but the entire village moved out.
There's only a few old men left.
So, you career isn't going well lately?
That deputy governor post of mine... no more!
Try to be optimistic!
What kind of rank is high enough?
You were just a anti-drug task force captain!
Now you are provincial police chief, still unhappy?
Greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant! (Chinese idiom)
If you didn't save me back then, I won't even be alive!
Let alone become governor or chief!
Tongwei, now you mention it, your were lucky!
The whole village was selling and doing drugs.
That day, you infiltrated the village from the cliff side,
they found you.
How intense the shootings were!
Hurry, get him, he's up ahead!
Don't let him escape, follow up!
Hurry!
I picked up a penny on the roadside.
I put it in the hand of uncle police.
Uncle took the coin, and nodded to me.
I happily said "uncle, goodbye"!
I picked up a penny on the roadside.
I put it in the hand of uncle police.
Uncle took the coin, and nodded to me...
Comrade, what's wrong?
Get up!
Shut the door!
I'm a police officer!
Qi Tongwei was a lone hero.
Thanks to a lullaby, he found the people in the darkest hour.
Qi Tongwei mentioned this in a 2002 news article.
He also said: "the people is the sky and the earth"!
"The people is the sky and the earth"...
It's almost an aphorism!
I didn't expect...
a man like Qi Tongwei, could say that too!
Therefore for quite a while, I respected this school brother!
The operation of Guyingling was impactful!
It earned Qi Tongwei a medal!
But I really didn't know he wrote an article!
I must know!
Chen Hai already fell, I can't underestimate him!
Chief Sha, I request...
to persuade Qi Tongwei to surrender!
Don't shoot him unless we must!
He carries too many secrets, he must be punished by law!
Well said!
What's your odds?
30%!
30%?! - Hmm!
Liangping, I must remind you,
Qi Tongwei got a sniper rifle,
he can kill you with 100% accuracy!
Since he went to Guyingling, he won't shoot so easily!
Chief Sha, Liangping's analysis is correct!
We've already prepared!
Comrade Liangping...
Be very careful!
Got it!
Brother, my men will do their best to protect you!
Be careful!
Hmm!
Report, our men are ready at Guyingling!
Everyone on stand by, nobody moves without direct orders!
Tell them to keep Hou Liangping safe!
OK!
All teams cooperate with chief Hou, and make sure he's safe!
Yes sir!
If I died back then...
then that's it...
There are no troubles in death!
Nonsense!
You found me here, could I let you die?
Tongwei you see, you and me together,
we accomplished great things!
You gave me that number and I went out to call.
Remember that chopper, that battle!
Come on, here!
They come this way, there too!
Hurry, run!
Get inside!
Tongwei! What are you doing?
They found me.
Old schoolmate, I'm getting you home!
Old schoolmate!
I'm getting you home!
This Qi Tongwei...
was he Hou Liangping's classmate?
School brothers, not the same year!
Qi Tongwei is hard to crack!
What's so hard, it's not brother versus brother!
But good versus evil!
I picked up a penny on the roadside...
I put it in the hand of uncle police...
Uncle took the coin, and nodded to me...
I happily said "uncle, goodbye"!
Don't be stubborn, go home now!
I want to...
I even dream about going home...
But I know I can't!
In any case, you were the anti-drug hero!
Let me tell you!
No heroism can atone for my crimes!
Hou Liangping and the police already went over?!
Wonderful!
Chief Sha, in such dangerous situations,
don't let Hou Liangping take any risk!
Shoot Qi Tongwei when necessary!
Alright comrade Yuliang, I get your point.
Qi Tongwei is very dangerous, shoot him if we must.
Don't shoot, I request immediate landing!
You must not get off!
I tell you, it's not your mission!
Liangping, don't take the risk!
I must take this risk, trust me!
Give me some time!
Land now, and protect chief Hou!
Anything else? If not, I'll hang up.
I'm at the police HQ, OK!
Listen to me.
Leave now!
Tongwei... please listen to me just once!
If you don't wanna stay and die from stray bullets,
then leave now!
Listen to me, leave now!
Don't force me, OK?!
Don't shoot!
Hou Liangping!
Don't shoot, I'm releasing someone!
You guys back off!
Students,
"Fajia" or legalism originated in the Warring States period.
"Legalism" was the study of punishments before Qin-dynasty.
Since Han-dynasty, jurisprudence emerged...
Come on, he's up ahead!
Don't let him away, follow up!
Hurry!
Grandpa. - Hmm? - How's his mood?
Unstable!
He keeps humming a lullaby and weeping.
BTW, he also said he'll kill his enemy!
He said it's his school brother!
Tell that comrade to stay way!
That school brother of his, is me!
I must come this time!
Grandpa, please leave! - OK.
Please don't shoot him! - OK!
Guyingling...
Old school brother,
this is the birthplace of your dream and glory!
I told the SWAT to leave.
You see, I'm unarmed!
Relax!
Hou Liangping!
Don't you think in this world, I wanna kill you the most?
Even now, Hou Liangping still believes in his humanity!
Stubborn!
To do this, he must have confidence!
This is the birthplace of your dream and glory!
You returned here, because your humanity is not totally gone!
You still know right from wrong!
Therefore...
I'm willing to have a disclosure with you.
Old school brother...
how could you do it to Chen Hai?
He's Chen Yang's little brother!
You even said this yourself:
because of Chen Yang, you don't blame the injustices of fate!
Remember how the Chens treated you!
When you did that,
didn't you feel bad at all?
What's wrong Chen Hai, talk to me, Chen Hai!
I was talking to Chen Hai on the phone.
It's like you killed Chen Hai before my sight!
Think about it from my perspective,
would you let go of someone who killed your brother?!
I had no other way!
I treat Chen Hai as my brother, I didn't wanna kill!
I had no other way!
Right, you are not a killer!
But you didn't wanna lose great wealth, and became crazy!
When you did it, did you feel fear?
Did you ever think how you'd face Chen Hai?!
What the f@$k is fear?!
It's nothing but death in the end!
Nothing but death!
I'm here today...
not to take your life!
I'm here today to take you home!
You must know this too.
Some people want your life,
because if you die, they'd be safe!
When you aimed at me with a gun in Shanshui Manor,
they wanted me to die too!
Because if I die, you'd take the blame!
Am I the only corrupt official in Handong?!
Why do you keep chasing your old school brother?!
Because you broke the law!
We all study law!
We once pledged our loyalty to the law!
Now you're testing the law,
you must face it, not escape!
You take charge for what you did!
Whatever you didn't do, tell us and make them face it!
Remember, Hou Liangping!
In this world,
nobody can judge me!
Not even the father sky!
Don't make me kill you!
We both know the Ming-dynasty history!
We both know:
ministers of Ming don't fear losing heads!
If the emperor beheads you, history will remember you!
Therefore school brother, you won't kill me!
If I die today,
history will remember me!
When people talk about Hai Rui or Bao Zheng,
maybe they'll remember Hou Liangping too!
You won't oblige me!
This lad is truly fearless!
Righteous!
He often said to "foster righteous spirit of the world",
"learn from the perfect men in history"! - Hmm!
He's full of righteousness!
Old school brother...
you once bled here.
You said you found the people in the darkest hour.
But where were you when the people needed you?
How did the fire of 1/16 start, what's with Dafeng factory?
What did you do with Gao XQ, Zhao RL and Chen Qingquan?
I think on this matter, boss Gao doesn't have it easy!
I'll judge exactly as you say!
I'm authorized to interpret the law!
You stole the people's benefit in your chatter and laughter!
The workers of Dafeng were forced to mobilize,
to occupy and defend themselves!
Your corruption disrupted the social stability,
caused social unrest and increased social tensions!
Your rampant corruption,
ruined the government's image with extreme social divisions!
Did you ever ask yourself?
How do you have the audacity to return here,
and face the old man who once saved you?!
If you really wanna kill me, I'd be lying down already.
Since you don't wanna kill me...
come with me!
We are brothers of the same mentor!
Come with me!
To face the law!
And face Chen Hai!
Even if you die, you die at home!
I will give you a proper funeral!
Monkey!!!
You, I...
Our debts are cleared!
I will repay Chen Hai's life!
Nobody in this world can judge me!
Screw you, father sky!
I picked a penny on the roadside...
I put it in the hand of uncle police...
Uncle took the coin, and nodded to me...
I happily said "uncle, goodbye"!
Prepare to depart!
We are returning!
Chief Sha, Liangping just called.
He asks to self-examine before the committee!
What's that for, he did his best!
This lad is eloquent!
Comrade Changming, the committee wants to commend him!
I thank the committee on Liangping's behalf!
Stop! - You got a death wish?!
Have you lived enough?! - It hurts!
How did you know Qi Tongwei won't shoot?!
I have the basic assessment of him, he won't shoot!
Besides I had a mission!
Acting like a hero, you are selfish you know?!
If you die as a hero, how would I and Hou Haoran live on?!
They call me Monkey King, I know the "72-transformations",
I won't die easily!
Still acting tough! - I was wrong, I was wrong, OK?
I promise I won't tell you next time!
What did you say?!
Next time?! - No no! - You wanna die?!
There is no next time!
Not going to work today?
How can I skip work?
Liangping wants to report his work to me today!
Then pick it up!
Get a shower and eat!
OK!
Liangping.
It's 8am, I must join the inspection team!
Right, I'm also gonna get my last counsel with mentor Gao!
Visiting him again? Is it necessary?
I'll see him off, he's my mentor after all.
I got permission from chief Sha and secretary Tian,
I hope he can face reality with a good attitude!
That's all I can help!
I think it's hard!
Both leaders spoke to him already,
but he still insists he's clean!
Even Qi Tongwei killed himself in guilt, he insists he's clean?
If you knew... why did you do it?
Back then...
There was nothing back then!
Prof. Wu...
Don't worry...
I won't fall like that!
When Sha Ruijin and Tian Guofu spoke to me...
I told them:
I admit...
that I didn't study party stature properly these years...
and made mistakes, some serious ones too!
But I have my redline as a person.
I don't do crimes!
Yuliang, face the reality now!
Qi Tongwei is dead,
big Gao is also caught!
The crimes of Qi Tongwei and Gao Xiaoqin...
are not directly related to me!
Not directly related,
how about indirectly then?
Qi Tongwei was your favorite student,
didn't you keep recommending him for deputy governor?
These are the things you can't deny!
Yeah...
I chose the wrong man...
And used the wrong man!
The lesson is painful...
Didn't you walk to Sha Ruijin's office the other day?
Why didn't you enter?
I was afraid I couldn't explain...
I actually despise Qi Tongwei to the extreme!
I think not!
Without Qi Tongwei and big Gao...
how could you take care of little Gao?
This I admit...
I made mistakes in my life.
I won't deny that.
Here, have some food!
Qi Tongwei's death indeed sealed many secrets!
Before, we always believed Qi Tongwei fooled mentor Gao.
But it's not so sure now.
The crumbling of ideal and faith,
is usually caused by people closest to you!
Qi Tongwei and mentor Gao, who fell into the water first?
If I were to analyze, mentor Gao had Gao Xiaofeng first,
and with her, he had a series of troubles!
Who would he use to solve them?
Not you and Chen Hai of course!
Therefore, having a high EQ also has its troubles!
Qi Tongwei must've fallen into water by helping mentor Gao,
then he swam further away!
This school brother of ours...
should also blame himself!
I'm leaving!
I was just gonna tell you something...
Tell me, Prof. Wu.
At this point, there's nothing that can't be said!
The provincial disciplinary commission...
Secretary Tian invited me over for a chat today!
Tian Guofu will meet you himself?
That's what the Uni office told me.
Do it then!
Tell everything as it is, be truthful!
You have nothing to do with my matters!
If I can't get back someday...
water the plants for me.
I plowed the soil 3 times already.
You can plant some vegetables!
You don't know my plants anyway!
Do you think...
I'd stay here when you are gone?
True!
Yuliang...
Do you not regret at all?!
Would regrets help anyhow?!
