Guan Hongfeng.
It's you!
Come on.
Hurry.
This way.
Don't move.
It's you.
Guan.
Are you all right?
Where's Jin Shan?
He's undergoing emergency treatment. I hope he makes it.
How are you?
I'm fine.
Just a bump.
I'm luckier than Jin Shan.
Look.
My gun exploded.
What are the odds?
She didn't defect...
did she?
Jiayin didn't die for nothing.
An investigation of Xin Yi has been ordered.
We will catch her.
Let's go.
MUSIC BAR DRINKS, RELAXATION, AND FUN
No matter what,
this mission was a success...
and everyone is safe.
Did you know...
that Lin Jiayin never defected?
If she hadn't lured National Security to the factory,
we might not have stopped the transaction.
Then why did she try to kill you?
What is it?
One thing's bothering me.
If he had decided to exclude you from this arrest,
why did Zhou Xun tell you the location of the parts factory my brother revealed?
Zhou Xun.
Is this enough for cross-checking online?
You disappeared for so long.
I never imagined we'd meet again like this.
I hope you and Mom won't blame me
because...
I'm a cop.
LIN JIAYIN
It's you.
Are you all right, Big Bro?
When did you find out?
The first time you tried to kill Hongyu.
Did you believe
he killed Wu Zheng's family all along?
Is that why you wanted to kill him after you realized he wasn't me?
Since your brother is still with you,
does that mean you didn't kill Wu Zheng?
I hope you can prove your innocence.
Jiayin.
Why did you part ways with the task force?
This isn't the first time
things have gone wrong during an operation.
Wu Zheng and I both noticed it.
The task force...
has been infiltrated.
Infiltrated?
It may not be an inside job.
It could be a leak from the periphery
of the task force.
It's possible.
I won't be back.
Lin Jiayin
won't exist anymore.
Run!
FATHER GUAN TU'AN, MOTHER LI GUILAN
LI GUILAN
JINGANG
Captain Guan, are you really leaving the team?
You've asked and heard the answer
countless times.
But...
the team needs you.
So many have come and gone in my time with the police.
No one is indispensable. You should go.
That may be so.
But we...
still need to learn from you.
Learn?
As long as you want to,
you can always learn from Zhou Xun and your dad.
Goodbye.
Hey.
What if I want you to stay?
When is he going to wake up?
Hard to say.
Maybe a few days, a few weeks, or even years.
It's hard to say.
He was pierced by many metal shards in the blast.
Two of the shards injured his spine
and brain, respectively.
If he wasn't in such good shape, he might have died in surgery already.
It's a miracle he is alive at all.
He is linked to an arms deal involving over 200 weapons
and three murders.
It's what he deserves.
All right. Call me when he wakes up.
-Okay. -I need to interrogate him.
Okay.
Captain Liu.
He'll be immobilized even if he wakes up, given his current condition.
Is it necessary to handcuff him?
It's a hassle for the nurses when helping him change,
and it's not a good impression on other patients and their families.
Bear with it.
I don't want him involved in a fourth murder.
Tell me.
Where are those 200 or so guns from?
I don't know.
-I don't know. -Really.
Big Bro won't tell.
-Do you know him? -No.
No.
And this man?
Wasn't he one of the buyers that night?
Well...
he's Ji, a broker.
Wasn't he the one Bro Jin...
The other day?
Did you take all of his belongings?
The watch and necklace? I didn't know they were his.
Bro Jin had me take his phone on the day of the sale.
Then he died, so there was no need to return it.
Phone?
Hey.
She...
Typical task assignment.
Nothing fishy going on.
What is it?
Is she your assistant
now that Hongfeng is gone?
What can I do?
Get Guan back?
No need.
You should have Guan Hongfeng monitored,
even if he's gone.
How? He already left Jingang.
Your daughter just saw him off.
-Saw him off? -Yes.
Where to?
A seminar on technical reconnaissance in Changchun, I think.
He's a speaker there.
So, you let him go there alone?
It's 20 below zero there. I hate the cold.
JINGANG POLICE
Captain Zhou, I don't get it.
Shouldn't we...
keep Guan Hongfeng closely monitored?
It's been almost a year, hasn't it?
I can't find obvious proof of any collusion with his brother.
Moreover,
think of all the cases he helped us solve.
He worked round the clock with us.
If we still went to such lengths to ruin him,
there'd be no good people left.
In that case,
I must clearly state
my objection.
I don't think we can afford to go easy on Guan Hongfeng.
As you wish.
Ruining someone isn't my forte.
What are you here for?
Right.
Have you cross-checked the fingerprint
on your exploded gun?
What do you mean?
What is this?
Liu.
I've worked with you for so long,
from being your subordinate to your superior.
We may not always see eye to eye,
but we do go way back.
This is too serious and dangerous. Stay out of it.
Be honest with me.
Are you involved in this?
It is none of your concern.
Ye Fangzhou was seen on and off on the periphery
during Meng Zhongmou's arms-dealing case.
Something is up.
I will keep digging.
If I find out you were involved
in any way you shouldn't...
I won't just let it go.
Liu...
remember this.
You have a family.
Take it easy.
HAIHANG CHANGBAISHAN HOTEL
Hello?
Yours was the best class of the day.
How daring of you,
sneaking into a technical recon class.
That classroom was like cold storage.
Everyone was bundled up.
Who would recognize me?
Seriously, you did a good job.
Do help me out sometime when you get back.
Why take the risk following me?
Things are spinning out of control.
I don't object to following up on Lin Jiayin's lead, but...
The informant she mentioned is wanted by the police and underworld.
If Zhou Xun knew this,
he'd also send someone,
even if he wouldn't come in person.
Questioning is hard when the police are involved.
Plus,
in coming alone,
I'll work mostly at night.
It wouldn't be convenient
to meet up with you with a colleague around.
The wine shop in Erdao District?
I can go in your place.
Don't talk like I can't take care of myself.
It won't be dark for a while.
GUARDIANS OF JINGANG
Captain Liu,
the phones are here.
They're mostly old models Meng Zhongmou and Jin Shan
gave their men to maintain confidentiality.
Where is Ji Jie's phone?
All the evidence is here.
Give me Jin Shan's.
The phone you called is switched off. Please...
EVIDENCE-C8
The phone you called is switched off. Please...
The number you have dialed cannot be reached.
Get me Li.
Captain Liu?
Li,
look into a phone number for me.
It's confidential.
Right. Please go ahead.
134...
2604...
9636.
Captain Liu,
the owner was Ji Jie.
Wasn't he the one...
Listen,
can you triangulate
a number that no longer exists?
With our technology, it will be hard.
I see.
All right.
Extract the call records of this number
over the past month for me.
-Give it to me in person when I return. -Yes, no problem.
-Oh, right. Keep it confidential. -Yes, sir.
Who have we ever been afraid of?
-Come on. -Just...
Let us know if you're in trouble.
Forget it. Just take him out.
Here, buddy, good job. Here.
-Thanks, bro. -Cheers.
Come on, eat.
Who is he?
I haven't seen him before.
Want something?
Boss.
Do you have a regular
called Qiao Sen?
I asked you what you want.
Please tell me how to find him.
This is on me.
Qiao doesn't drink here anymore.
Look for him in Houshan Jiazi.
-Houshan Jiazi? -Yeah.
-Thank you. -Hey.
I only sell alcohol.
Take your money back.
Get lost.
Buddies, keep drinking.
Enjoy your drinks. Carry on.
It's fine. He's gone.
Don't worry.
The team has your back.
Bye then.
All right. Go.
You're sending her?
She's a detective. It's her job.
She goes on whatever assignment she gets. Got any problem?
She is an inexperienced child. She can't do this alone.
Cut the officialese.
You can't expect every cop to be cookie-cutter perfect.
Cops are human, with strengths and weaknesses.
Try to focus more on people's strengths.
Don't be so critical.
-But... -No buts.
All right? Don't worry. Seriously.
Wang and I are blocking a robber on vehicle. Do you want to come?
No.
I'm looking into Meng Zhongmou's guns
and the buyer behind Ji Jie.
Hey...
That's the Bureau's case. We have work to do. Why look into that?
Ye Fangzhou must be involved for a reason.
He's either the source or the outlet.
I'll find something in this direction.
-Was this the day Ji Jie died? -Yes.
0431.
What district is that?
The road leading to Houshan Jiazi is bad.
It just snowed.
Go slow.
Remember, it's 200 a day.
-The second day starts at 10 p.m. -Don't worry. I'll be back at night.
Take care.
This hasn't been used for a while. Step on the gas.
It's fine.
-That was fast. Have you found Qiao Sen? -He's not at Jiayin's location.
The bar owner told me to go to Houshan Jiazi.
Where is that?
A village a few dozen miles northeast of Jicheng District.
-I rented a car and am headed there. -Wait.
Why are you heading somewhere some person told you?
Is that what a team captain does? Is your source reliable?
How big is the area? How's the population and route?
Is it on GPS?
You're going in blind. At best, it'd be no help, but what if it's dangerous?
All right.
Neither of us know this place. We have to follow whatever lead there is.
I'm on my way. Call me if you need to.
SOUTHERN AIRLINES
I found a Changchun landline from Ji Jie's phone.
You're off to Changchun?
Yes. I looked into the number through Jilin's secret service.
It's a bar in Erdao District.
-It's quite famous there. -How so?
There is a famous informant in the Northeast. Qiao Sen.
He's neutral, rigid, and precise in his intel.
He provides intel at a flat rate, 10,000,
and is never involved in anything illegal,
hence his good reputation...
all around.
If I'm right,
he came up with Ji Jie's buyer.
Qiao Sen...
never uses a phone
but goes to the bar at a precise time.
I'm going to meet him.
Bye.
Hello?
-Hello? -Guan.
-Yes? -Liu's going to Changchun.
-Hello? -He'll arrive in about four hours.
Reception is bad.
-Wait. -Take care... Hello?
What? Hello?
Hello?
Move!
Move...
What is going on?
The number you have dialed cannot be reached.
-Captain. -Yes?
-It's done. Should we go? -Yes. Let's go.
Don't you understand Mandarin?
Get lost.
Just get out of here.
What?
Are you looking for trouble?
Houshan Jiazi?
I don't know where Qiao is, and I don't care.
I just sell alcohol.
Is Qiao Sen in Houshan Jiazi?
Seriously, what can you do if he isn't?
I don't care where he is.
If you won't answer me,
put the dustpan down.
You may need the broom though.
I lied to you.
So what?
Coward. Is that all you've got?
How dare you come at me like that.
The number you have dialed cannot be reached.
HAIHANG CHANGBAISHAN HOTEL
The number you have dialed cannot be reached.
Please try again later.
Sorry, the number you dialed...
-Hello. -Hello.
This is my ID.
I called you earlier
about a guest named Guan, from Jingang,
who might be staying here.
-Remember? -Yes.
We're colleagues.
Please check his room number for me.
-Just a moment. -Sure.
He's staying in Room 5206.
I've been unable to reach him.
Could you call his room?
Mr. Guan went out.
When?
A while ago.
He asked us about car rentals nearby.
Alone?
He checked in alone.
Can I take a message?
No, thanks.
Could you get me a cab?
Just a moment.
Do you go to Houshan Jiazi?
No.
Sir. Will you go to Houshan Jiazi when you get off?
No.
-Sir, do you go to Houshan Jiazi? -No.
Ask over there...
Thanks.
Are you kidding?
Sir, do you go to Houshan Jiazi?
-No... -No.
How many?
Just me.
I'll get you a car. Two hundred.
Fine.
Here.
You'll freeze if you're dressed like this.
Let's go.
Here's 300.
-Wait here. I'm hiring your car. -Okay.
What?
Want a drink?
Have one since you are here.
Come over here.
Sit here. It's warm.
Sure.
Here.
Have a sip and warm up first.
Here.
Peanuts are free. Sweetened garlic costs a dollar.
This is homemade liquor. It burns, doesn't it?
-Hello? -Boss.
Is Qiao Sen here?
No.
