The Thunder
Master.
Why doesn’t the Joint Investigation Group
make an investigation
on Tazhai Village and Lin Yaodong?
What are you trying to say?
Tazhai Village is too clean.
It’s abnormal in Sanfeng.
Master.
You know it.
If you found it abnormal,
you would have
taken actions.
I did.
Last July,
I asked Cai Yongqiang
to foster an informant in Tazhai Village
so that I can make an inside breakthrough.
I chose Lin Sanbao,
the third son of Lin Zonghui.
But when we were trying to persuade him,
he died
of a car accident.
Was that a coincidence?
I asked the Criminal Investigation Brigade to investigate on his case.
We found it was a doubtful case.
Liu Zhi, the driver responsible had lung cancer.
He knew it at the beginning of 2012.
Because of his poor family condition,
he hid it from his company.
He said he couldn’t stand the pain all over him
on the day of accident.
That was why
he caused the malignant traffic accident.
Liu Zhi was sentenced to one year in prison with one year’s probation.
At the end of this November,
he died of terminal lung cancer
when all medical treatments failed.
Why did you choose Lin Sanbao
as your informant?
Because Lin Zonghui
bears grudges against
Lin Yaodong and Lin Yaohua.
His second son
was beaten to permanent disability at Level II
by Lin Yaohua’s son, Lin Can.
Lin Sanbao put the word
that he would revenge his elder brother.
That was a good foundation for us.
However…
When I asked Cai Yongqiang
to take care of this,
he wasn’t responding actively.
On this thing,
you suspect
Cai Yongqiang?
To be honest,
yes.
Do you have any idea
on this proposal?
No.
Do you recommend anyone?
It’s hard
to find a suitable one.
First,
he should have a certain status in Tazhai Village.
It’s better if he contacts directly
with the three leaders.
Second,
you know the risk of
having an informant.
He can be a double-edged sword.
If something goes wrong,
he may hurt us.
So it takes time to foster an informant.
Third,
we need a special fund.
Look at him!
Lin Sanbao?
He might be the right man.
Explain it.
You choose him.
After you.
He told me
he would think of a way to approach Lin Sanbao.
He thought
it was confirmed that
Lin Sanbao hated Lin Can.
But it was hard to tell
if Lin Sanbao
would trust the police.
When did you bring this up
to Cai Yongqiang?
Last July 16.
Lin Sanbo died of a car accident
on July 21.
Exactly on the fifth day
when I told Cai Yongqiang about this.
Scored! Again!
Awesome! Awesome!
Awesome!
Cool! He’s so cool!
He’s so cool! He’s a crack shot.
Where do you usually play?
Foshan.
How much do you charge to play here?
You’ll have 20% as the commission.
Wat do you think?
15% will do.
But I decide the schedule.
Deal!
Tell me.
How do you
feel about Cai Yongqiang?
My feelings for him
can be divided into three stages.
When I just arrived in Dongshan,
I was really unsatisfied with the Narcotics Control Brigade.
Naturally, I didn’t like Cai Yongqiang.
Through several actions to crack down on drug trafficking,
I found he worked hard.
He had great executive ability
with certain prestige.
Later,
after the accident of Lin Sanbao,
I felt bad about him
again.
Go on.
He was originally a policeman in the local police station
and was then promoted as the director.
Later, he became the vice-captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade,
and then the captain.
In the end, he served as the captain
for the Narcotics Control Brigade.
In Dongshan,
there are many policemen with social foundations.
But I heard
Cai Yongqiang had sent his families out of Dongshan.
The post of Captain of the Narcotics Control Brigade
is rather important.
Not to mention the fact that
he’s a relative of Cai Qichao and Cai Qirong.
He’s a classmate of Chen Guangming,
the drug kingpin in Heqian Village.
Anything else suspicious
on Cai Yongqiang
except the death of Lin Sanbao?
Not yet.
He’s quite subtle.
He never shows his feelings.
It’s too hard
to find fault in him.
But I believe Li Fei’s intuition
on Cai Yongqiang.
If you want to find fault in Cai Yongqiang,
I’m afraid
it’ll be harder
than finding fault in Tazhai Village and Lin Yaodong.
Master.
What do you think of my suggestion?
What’s suggestion?
Make an investigation
on Tazhai Village and Lin Yaodong.
Li Fei
reported to the Joint Investigation Group
about his suspect on Tazhai Village and Lin Yaodong.
But he didn’t have direct evidence.
He sounded logical.
But considering that Lin Yaodong has great influence and status
in Dongshan,
we can’t make an investigation on him
without conclusive evidence.
So I think…
I’d like to leave the subsequent work
to you, the Special Investigation Team.
Yes.
Master.
During the action to crack down on drug trafficking,
shall we give top priority to Tazhai Village?
Who let you in?
It took you so long
in the bathroom.
Tired, huh?
Replenish yourself.
I’m free. Got it?
You’re free.
But I’m getting to lose my freedom.
This is my home.
You’re not invited. Please leave right away.
Like I said,
you mustn’t get out of my sight
around the clock.
This is my task.
You’re Ma Wen, aren’t you?
Yes. Your task is to keep an eye on you.
But we can have solutions to that.
Don’t be serious.
Would you kindly make an exception?
Fine.
Could killers make an exception for you, too?
I’m kind of famous in Dongshan.
Who dares to kill me!
Are you really a policeman?
A policeman talks with logic and evidence.
What did Director Li tell you?
From now on,
you mustn’t get close to windows casually.
You mustn’t draw back the curtain casually.
You must turn off the light for sleep.
You must report before you leave home.
When you make phone calls,
you must use the speaker.
Clear?
Are you crazy?
Are you nuts?
Hey, Li Fei.
Shall we meet?
You’re alive.
That’s awesome!
Oh…
This is Ma Wen.
She protects me.
This is Chen Ke
Hello, I’m Chen Ke.
Hello.
I met you in Fengyi Hotel.
You can’t sit here.
Why?
You’re sitting beside the window.
Sit over there.
I’m accustomed to this seat.
We used to sit here.
Then you can’t sit here anymore.
Li Fei.
Let’s sit over there.
It’s the same.
Come on. Come on.
Cheers. Cheers.
Come on.
Have a round.
Come on. Do it.
Have a round. Come on.
Three.
Three. The next one drinks. Come on.
Come on. The next one drinks.
The next one drinks. The next one drinks.
Why me?
Get away. We’ll play without you.
Come on. I’ll be the banker.
Come on. Ten.
What?
I win! It’s your turn! Hurry.
I win! You must drink. Hurry.
Hurry. Drink it.
Come on. Bottom up!
You really are a couple.
Bottom up! Bottom up!
Fill his cup! Fill his cup!
Let me do it.
Let me! Let me.
How many times
did we drink on that table?
I don’t remember.
Is everything okay at your home?
Not really.
How is your little brother?
He was frightened.
He had nightmares recently.
I wonder when he can get better.
Lately,
I always think of the moment
when we first met.
At that time,
I was an intern at the emergency ward.
Do you remember?
Do you have a boyfriend?
I mean…
If you don’t,
may I be your boyfriend?
I’m Song Yang, a policeman. I’m single.
I’m really into you. Hope you can think about it.
Can I call you Keke?
Keke.
I love you.
Song Yang.
Take Panjin
to try some specialties in Dongshan.
Dude, I’m trying to get my love back.
You know
how much a relationship will cost.
Oh, yes. You’re single.
You may not experience it.
The past is past.
You…
You should learn to take care of yourself in the future.
Cheers.
Li Fei.
Who took my parents away
and sent them back again?
Who hid drug in Chen Yan’s car?
What the hell has happened?
Tell me.
This is
concerning a major case.
So I…
But Song Yang went to find Bao Xing
because of me.
If he hadn’t gone,
he wouldn’t have been killed.
Song Yang was dead because of me.
Chen Ke.
Don’t think in that way.
It has nothing to do with you.
Excuse me.
May I ask you something?
What do you mean?
I lose.
Have you met this man?
He?
He’s a resident player here.
Where is he?
Over there.
Where’s the man playing with you?
Ran away when I defeated him.
Where did he run?
There.
Go.
Yes. Yes.
Go after him separately.
Go over there.
You often play it?
Just to have fun.
Wanna make money?
Play?
Find someone.
You’re a policeman, huh?
Dude.
Do I look like a policeman?
This is the man who just played with you.
He had been playing with me in the last few days.
We bet one thousand yuan on each ball.
I lost quite a lot.
I want to defeat him and get my money back.
He’s been avoiding me.
Well, it’s not for money.
For face.
Face, got it?
Dude.
As long as you find him for me,
you’ll have 50% of each bet,
no matter I win or lose.
This is the front money.
This is not for bet, huh?
Tell me. What do you want me to do?
I like wise men.
Search every billiard room in Zhuhai
and call me when you find him.
How much will you pay
if I catch him?
You name the price.
Song Yang will be buried tomorrow.
I’m going to attend his funeral.
The one died in Nanjing Village?
Yes.
Dad.
Who the hell killed him?
Why do you ask me?
Should I know?
Yes.
I shouldn’t have asked you.
Dad.
Don’t butt it.
We should live a peaceful life,
shouldn’t we?
Peaceful?
Can we?
Today,
we come here,
to say goodbye to Song Yang.
Song Yang
died on duty.
He would be buried here,
and be always remembered
like many other colleagues
who have sacrificed themselves for drug enforcement.
Everybody!
Take off your caps.
Salute.
What are you coming for?
I come to say goodbye.
You don’t deserve to be here.
Uncle Min.
Who is Uncle Min?
Director Li.
Could you stop treating me as a patient?
This is an official decision with a transfer order.
I request for getting back to work.
According to the doctor,
you’re not well enough
for further work.
You must take medical treatments in Guangzhou.
I’m fine! I’ve recovered.
It’s been long!
It’s not up to you,
but to the doctor.
In addition to your physical condition,
you should also take psychotherapy twice
during your treatment.
What’s… what’s wrong with my mental status?
You often have nightmares.
It’s typical symptom of PTSD.
So you’re going to Guangzhou for…
Come on. You’re an adult.
Could you stop telling on me?
I did it for a job transfer as soon as possible.
Isn’t it a good reason?
Let’s go.
Wish you’ll have a pleasant psychotherapy in Guangzhou.
There you are.
Didn’t you go to Guangzhou
for the psychotherapy?
Do you also think I need a psychotherapy?
Li Fei.
I failed to help
in “5.13” Case.
Sorry.
You, Song Yang and I were childhood friends
and grew up together.
We all went to police school.
He’s dead.
I feel bad, too.
I saw you cry in the daytime.
Li Fei.
Don’t blame me.
I’m different from you.
You’re single and only support yourself.
But I have a family to feed.
Things in Dongshan are too complicated.
Taking Cai Qirong and Cai Qichao as an example.
They have three chicken farms.
Each of the chicken farm
produces more than a dozen kilograms of meth.
The production is going up.
When the accident happened,
they were talking business with a man from Hong Kong.
If you hadn’t spoiled it,
they would have made a deal.
Who do you mean talking business
and spoiling it?
Drug production and trafficking are also businesses, too.
To expand the market in Hong Kong,
the Cai brothers may have stood in the way of someone else.
They have to pay for it.
May…
you and Song Yang
were used as their chessmen.
Whose way were they in?
No idea.
Li Fei.
You had a narrow escape
from “5.13” Case.
You really were lucky.
Listen to me.
Take the medical treatment in Guangzhou
for some recuperation, could you?
A toast to Song Yang.
What?
Give up, don’t you?
What are you dazing at? Go!
What are you doing?
I’m home. You can leave.
I won’t keep you for some rest.
I’ll sleep here tonight and take you to Guangzhou tomorrow.
What do you mean?
This is my home. You’re not welcome. Leave!
I must keep an eye on you.
Considering I’m a girl, I’ll just sleep here.
How shameless you are!
