The Thunder
He got in the taxi in the presence of Shun,
saying he was going to Sihui.
Because he wanted Shun to tell you
about this.
Then you would mistakenly think that he was in Sihui.
Get me to Zhuhai.
Then you were trapped.
Right?
Uncle.
I still don’t understand one thing.
What is it?
He has escaped.
He’s completely free.
He has a lot of places to go.
But why did he go back to Zhuhai?
Where was his first place to stay?
As a fugitive, he went to Zhuhai first.
But so far,
we haven’t figured out
where he lives in Zhuhai.
It means
he has a safe den in Zhuhai.
In fact, he isn’t
a close friend to Shun.
They just did business once or twice.
After you lent money to a friend like him
and then he just left,
you could hardly find him.
Could he have such friends in Zhuhai, too?
Very likely.
Because he chose Zhuhai.
To him,
Sihui is a strange city
where he’s unfamiliar with everything.
In Sihui,
it’s very hard for him
to find a hidden place,
because your men are looking for him everywhere.
In Zhuhai, instead, he may manage to borrow money.
Also, he could go back to
the safe place he used to live in.
Why didn’t he go back?
So…
Have you figured out
the whole matter?
Son.
I don’t need to teach you
what you should do, do I?
I know where to find him.
Uncle Hui.
These are your favorite dishes.
Fine. Don’t bother. Sit down.
Feel free to talk.
I’ll have this.
It can refresh me.
Uncle Hui.
I asked Shengwu
why he exerted his full strength for you.
Guess what he replied.
He said
in the entire Tazhai Village,
he trusted no one,
but you, Uncle Hui.
Uncle Hui.
Do you remember
why Lin Erbao’s legs were broken?
We don’t have many members.
We made the same amount of goods,
but we were payed little.
Uncle Hui.
We’re juniors.
Theoretically, we shouldn’t have bargained with you.
But you should explain to us.
Yeah!
You don’t even let of your own brothers.
Do you still take us as your families?
Do you?
Yes.
Lin Can.
Shut up!
Is this just for money?
Lin Can.
Who do you think you are?
How dare you talk to my father like that?
Erbao couldn’t stand it
and argued with him.
Then Lin Can broke his legs.
Erbao! Erbao!
If Shengwen and Shengwu…
Beat them!
hadn’t saved Erbao, regardless of their own lives.
Could Erbao…
still be alive?
Go.
Go! Hurry!
- In my dreams… - Go!
Uncle Hui.
I can still dream of that day.
Shengwu, go!
Uncle Hui, go!
Erbao was crippled.
Shengwu took him
back home
with careful guidance
and I took care of him.
Uncle Hui.
Shengwu is nice to
you and Erbao.
You can’t leave him to sink.
Yes.
Shengwen took the video
that he shouldn’t have.
But he’s dead.
Xiaoling.
Now…
Shengwu has the video.
It will not be over
before Shengwu turns it in.
Uncle Hui.
What do you think we should do?
Xiaoling.
You have a choice.
You mean…
kill Shengwu
to keep my daughter and me alive?
No. No. No.
You’re wrong.
We have regulations for our clan.
Shengwen is dead.
The clan will take care of
all expenses
for his children’s education,
his mother’s pension
and even the wedding expenses of his children.
Besides…
Uncle Hui.
Yesterday,
Chuncao was detected with the late breast cancer.
Do you think
her family will live a happy life?
Uncle Hui,
was that what you did
to keep your whole family safe?
Uncle Hui.
Do you really believe that Sanbao died of a car accident?
And Shengwen.
Do you really believe it?
But I don’t.
I don’t believe he killed himself.
Shengwen. Shengwu.
You called them back, didn’t you?
Shengwu.
We made a deal.
Come back with Shengwen.
Do they have…
Do they have any other request?
The only request is when we have
the next deal,
we’ll give in 10% of our profits.
Sorry, Uncle Hui.
Sorry. Sorry.
Shengwu, don’t say that.
Come back.
Uncle Hua. Uncle Hui.
What?
What do you mean?
- Let go of my younger brother. - Brother.
Brother.
Shengwen.
Brother.
Uncle Hua.
Where is the video?
Give it to me.
I don’t have the video.
I deleted it after I took it.
I… I have lost several phones.
- I really didn’t… - Say it again.
Shengwen.
- Uncle Hui, I really have deleted it. - Lin Shengwen.
A prostitute from Sweet Dancing Hall said
you showed it to the police, didn’t you?
Shengwen.
No.
Showed it to the police?
How dare I!
I really deleted it.
I deleted the video.
Trust me.
Are you sure?
Yes! I swear!
I deleted it.
Even if you deleted it,
you broke the regulations of our clan.
You must be punished
as a warning to others.
Yes.
- What are you doing? - Brother.
- Brother. Brother. - Shengwen.
Brother.
Help me!
Help me! Brother.
Brother. Help me!
What are you doing?
Brother.
- Didn’t we make a deal? - Brother.
- What do you mean? - Help me.
- What do you mean? - Don’t move.
- I said don’t move! - Help me!
Shengwen.
Help me!
Uncle Hua.
Uncle Hua. I’m begging you! I’m begging you!
Please let go of my brother.
Uncle Hui.
Uncle Hui. Say something.
Please say something.
You asked us to come back.
Uncle Hua. Uncle Hua.
Shengwen.
Help me, Brother.
Uncle Hua. Uncle Hua.
Shengwu.
Help me!
Shengwen made a big mistake.
You know the rules.
Yes.
In the ancestral hall,
you took an oath
to our ancestors.
Everyone,
including you and me, is prohibited from taking drug,
producing it or trafficking it privately.
No, Uncle Hua.
Shengwen has done all this.
He even showed the video to the police.
He was talking nonsense.
He had no evidence.
He’s got a bad mouth. Uncle Hua.
Uncle Hua. Uncle Hua.
Uncle Hua. I’m begging you.
I’m begging you.
I swear to you!
When you let go of them,
they will never come back to Tazhai Village.
Uncle Hua. I’m begging you.
I’m begging you, Uncle Hua.
Uncle Hua.
Uncle Hui.
- Uncle Hui. - Brother.
Shengwen.
Let go of Shengwen.
Shengwen.
- Do you want to get the
punishment with him? - Shengwen.
You have your wife and child.
Think about them.
Shengwen.
Shengwu.
Think about them.
Uncle Hui.
Go home with me.
I asked my wife to get something for you to eat.
About this,
you must pretend to be ignorant.
When the police ask you about Shengwen,
you also need to say “I don’t know”.
Uncle Dong promised that
Shengwen’s wife
and child
could stay in Tazhai.
The village will cover their living expenses.
He also promised
to give Shengwen an honorable funeral.
Uncle Hui.
See you then.
See you, Uncle Hui.
It was my fault
when I failed to protect Shengwen.
Shengwu.
From now on,
Shengwen’s child
is also mine.
Go.
Go home with me.
Uncle Hui.
I’m begging you.
Please help Shengwu.
Uncle Hui, I’m begging you.
- Help him! - Xiaoling.
If you want to be alive,
keep your mouth shut.
Based on the information
from the Joint Investigation Group and Special Investigation Team,
Li Fei is basically no longer the suspect
of colluding with the drug producer and trafficker
and shooting Song Yang.
We have released him
and suspended him from his duties.
After the “5.13” Case,
the society and internet have been buzzing with rumors,
which causes a bad influence
on the image of police in our province.
The Joint Investigation Group is set up without delay,
just to figure out
if our policeman
has colluded with any suspect or not.
Now the suspicion
has been cleared out.
The work of the Joint Investigation Group
has been brought to a temporary close.
The future investigation
will be left to the Special Investigation Team.
From now on,
we, the Joint Investigation Group,
will stay in Dongshan,
in the name of the Joint Steering Group,
to supervise the self-examination
and self-correction
of Dongshan Public Security Bureau.
After the joint investigation
by the GuangDong Provincial Public Security Department and Joint Investigation Group,
the conclusion is as follows.
On May 13th,
Cai Jie, a villager of Nanjing Village,
carefully planned and carried out
the homicide case in the chicken farm,
Nanjing Village, Dongshan City.
He used the Type 64 pistol belonging to Policeman Li Fei
from Narcotics Control Brigade,
Dongshan Public Security Bureau
to shoot Policeman Song Yang
from the same place.
Li Fei
has no corresponding responsibility.
Li Fei.
From now on,
you’re free.
Cai Jie and relevant persons responsible
are dead.
So we still need further investigation.
Now, Li Fei regains freedom.
But he couldn’t get back to work.
Li Fei.
You’re a policeman.
For relevant procedures,
I won’t explain to you.
Hope you can understand.
There you are.
All is dissipated.
What?
How about drinking with some buddies
to celebrate it?
Celebrate what?
Bro Yang.
Don’t sit down. Don’t. Come on.
- No way. - You sit again.
Pain in the chest!
One more round! One more round!
I really can’t beat you!
I can’t. I feel a pain in the chest.
- Come on. - Pain in my chest.
Angry?
Punch me! Come on. Punch me!
All right?
Punch for free. Left face. Come on.
Come on. Punch me. Come on.
Free punch?
Yes. Yes. Yes.
I’m not going to fight back. Come on.
Come on. I’m ready.
Wait.
Yang.
Just conditional reflex.
Sorry. Sorry.
I failed to control the conditional reflex against you.
When you punched me, I was used to reaching out.
What should I do? Tell me.
You’re bleeding.
Sorry. Sorry.
I’m wrong. I’m sorry.
Officer Song, I’m sorry.
Could you be honest?
Yes. Yes. Yes.
You can punch me.
But you shouldn’t have humiliated me.
Yang. Yang. Don’t cry.
I wasn’t humiliating you!
I was bullying you!
I quit.
I’m not going to play with you.
Okay. Get up. Get up.
Let’s go. Let’s go.
That was a sneak attack!
Cai Yongqiang.
I must return to work and resume my post.
I haven’t received
any notice.
So I can’t tell you
when you can come back to work.
You don’t want me back, do you?
Am I qualified for that?
Li Fei.
You’re released.
But it doesn’t mean you’re safe.
At least,
you’re still in danger
at this stage.
Those who want to kill you
will not easily give up.
So…
go back home to wait for the notice.
Be patient for some time.
Be patient?
For what?
Song Yang’s desk is in ash.
Is he forever gone?
Do you want me to always be patient, huh?
Answer me, Cai Yongqiang.
Li Fei. Calm down.
You were just released.
What?
Want to be arrested again?
I understand your feelings.
I totally understand.
Li Fei. Let me remind you.
We’re policemen,
aren’t we?
Policemen work upon investigation and evidence.
You suspect me?
Okay.
Show me the evidence.
You want evidence, huh?
I will catch you!
Come on. Check this one.
Hello.
Sir, which table would you like?
Where is the owner?
I am. What’s wrong?
I come to play billiards.
Fine, pay it.
I come to make money.
Do you know where you are?
Isn’t it the biggest billiard room in Zhuhai?
Do you know
how many professional players work here?
Set the table.
I’ll leave if I lose.
Haven’t you left yet?
Master.
I want a talk with you.
Okay.
I’ve been waiting for you.
Leave us.
I’ll have a talk with Director Ma.
Three years ago,
the material for drug production weighing fifty kilos
cost 2 million to 2.2 million yuan.
It could be made into twenty bars of meth, weighing one kilo each.
Each bar could be sold at the price of 0.25 million yuan.
Let go of the salary of more than 100 thousand yuan for workers,
50 thousand yuan for the additive
and 30 to 40 thousand yuan for labor, water and electricity.
It means they can make a net profit of 2 million yuan
in only three weeks.
Besides, it’s very easy to get involved in drug production in Dongshan.
With a relative involved in,
one could have the chance to learn.
After working for one year,
he could work alone.
The relative
would offer the start-up fund.
Many families
which weren’t directly involved in drug production
invest their money in it
indirectly.
They work by clan,
and don’t go beyond it.
After the drug trafficking organization in Heqian Village was eradicated,
I went there for a survey.
An old man in his seventies attending to the ancestral hall
told me
he also wanted to make money from drug production.
He begged them, but they refused him.
Master.
Even an old man in his seventies
wanted to make money from drug production.
This is the current situation in Dongshan.
Yunbo.
Do you remember
what I told you
before you came to Dongshan?
I do.
Dongshan
must be
the core area of drug production.
I told you
I not only want to clear away the drug producers.
Calm down
and focus on it.
Take efforts
and wipe out the tumor of drugs
in three to five years.
I also said…
I don’t want simple dish.
I want the best dish
which has been boiled
for days.
What have you done?
Three years has passed.
You’ve got all awards and praises.
What have you gained?
How many major cases about drug production and trafficking
have you solved?
Answer me! How many?
Three years. Ma Yunbo. It’s been three years.
I trusted you.
But what did you repay me?
You got more and more drugs.
More serious condition.
And more secret drug producers.
They even dared to shoot a policeman
and frame another policeman up.
I trusted you.
It’s been three years.
What have you repaid me?
Tell me.
Master.
Look at this.
What’s this?
The report of resignation
I wrote at the beginning of last year.
What are you going to do?
Master.
Get me back to you
and serve as a drug enforcement chief.
That’ll be easy and clear.
All I need to face is cases,
drug traffickers.
I really can’t stand
the overwhelming human relationship.
Master.
I’ve been keeping my mission
in mind.
But look at the policemen.
They’re used to
working overtime. Fine.
They’re risking their lives every day
and facing the material temptation.
Forget it, too.
For the police insignia on their caps,
they pay prices and suffer grievance
without complaint. Let it go, too.
But when I see them
getting paid a little
and cheating their families…
Why do they do that?
They just want to be
a normal policeman
without anxiety.
I can’t get over it.
I really can’t get over it, Master.
Dongshan Public Security Bureau not only works on drug enforcement.
There’s still much routine work
that I need to balance.
I know.
It’s easy to dust the surface.
But before the fundamental problem is solved,
there will be more dust tomorrow.
I must dust it every day.
I must strive for
every honor and award.
I’m doing this for my men.
They need honors.
They must support themselves.
Yes.
I can calm down and be patient.
I can even sacrifice my honors
to solve a major case
and make you the best dish
within three to five years.
But what if I fail?
If I get only part of it,
how could I face four hundred policemen
and their families in Dongshan Public Security Bureau?
How could I not feel sorry
for their hard work
in three to five years?
Master.
Don’t stare at me like this.
I’m not saying this to
shirk my responsibility.
Can you understand my feelings?
Yes.
I totally understand.
Fine, let’s talk about your report of resignation.
Hero.
You’re now a hero.
Is this your attitude toward hardship
as a hero?
Is it?
