Second Time is a Charm
Episode 54
Why not
make the best of the mistake?
What do you mean?
To steal this,
we got a girl.
If I don't make any profit, my effort will be in vain.
Anyway, here is the thing.
We can't send the girl back.
So, I think...
What do you want?
Call her parents
and ask them to take money to redeem her.
We can't.
Let's think about
how to send her back.
You don't
have the final say.
What are you doing?
She's just a child.
Don't come over here.
You bastard.
Don't come over here.
Step back.
Listen.
If you dare to act recklessly,
don't blame me for being cruel.
The knife may drop.
Anyway, I fear nothing and no one.
Either get rich together or die together.
Distinguished guests, please stand up.
Today,
we say goodbye to our dear Mr. Yu
with heavy hearts.
First bow.
Second bow.
Third bow.
May our dear Mr. Yu rest in peace.
Please stand in silent tribute.
Leave.
You don't reply to WeChat messages or answer the phone.
What are you doing?
Stop shouting.
I'm not Linsu.
Give it to me.
Where is Linsu?
He is fine.
We have got something unexpected here.
What?
We have a girl here.
What are you doing?
Ask Zhong Linsu to answer the phone.
Calm down.
Listen to me.
Your money
is not enough for us to have a meal.
The girl's parents
must be rich.
Do you know the crime of kidnapping and extortion?
I'm not afraid of this, or I wouldn't answer the phone.
I'll call the police if you go on like this.
Go ahead.
I'll tell the police you're our boss.
Let's see who they arrest.
Don't talk nonsense.
Tell me the phone number of the girl's parents.
Hurry up.
You.
Hello?
What's wrong?
Did you drive today?
Lend me your car.
Why?
Something happened to Xu Lang's daughter.
What?
Now we think
it's kidnapping and extortion.
How could this happen?
I don't know the details.
My brother asked me to have a look.
See if I can do something to help
and tell his friends
in the public security bureau.
My God.
Although Guoguo's his brother's daughter,
he treats her more important than his own life.
Why am I so guilty?
Let me go with you.
Go.
All the above clues
point to these three areas,
so we must strengthen
the management and monitoring of these three areas.
Report.
Come in.
Yes.
Mr. Tai,
a drugstore owner
from Meilin chemical plant area, Chuansha
called to provide information.
He said that
someone similar to our portrait suspect
just appeared near them
and bought medicine in the drugstore.
Good.
Our comrades over there
have already made arrangements.
Location.
Old plant area of Meilin chemical plant, Nanhui District.
Action.
Yes.
Why doesn't your girlfriend send messages?
Doesn't she want to
tell me the phone number of the girl's parents?
She's calling.
Do you want to die? What took you so long?
Let the girl go.
No way.
I'm begging you.
It's getting worse and worse.
It'll be hard to wind this matter up if it goes on like this.
Listen. I won't
change my mind.
Don't talk nonsense.
If you continue to be so opinionated,
you can't get the money, either.
The girl is not his own daughter.
She was adopted.
What?
Think about it.
Would he dare to call the police if she was his own daughter?
Wasn't he afraid that his daughter would be killed?
So you can't get the money.
I'm begging you.
Don't hurt me.
Don't hurt yourself, OK?
Run as far as you can.
Dad.
Forget it.
He's not your dad.
He won't come to rescue you.
Dad.
Don't shout.
Dad.
Listen.
Your dad won't come to rescue you.
- Do you know why? - Dad.
He's not your dad.
Leave.
Xu Lang,
don't worry.
Guoguo is fine.
Linsu,
hurry up.
Linsu,
let's go.
Let's go.
Linsu, hurry up.
Linsu.
There's no movement here.
Let's go.
Linsu.
Linsu, are you all right?
Linsu.
He hurt you?
I will not let him go.
Linsu.
Let's go.
I will help you out.
Bro.
Go.
Let's go.
Go.
Bro.
- Bro. - Linsu.
Listen to me.
Linsu. I don't listen. We...
Listen to me.
I can't escape,
but I hope you can.
But
if you get caught by the police,
tell them
it's my plan.
Don't mention Wang Lei's name.
Got it?
Good.
Go.
Linsu,
I won't leave you alone.
Run.
Go.
Freeze.
Hands up.
Freeze.
Turn around.
Lei,
trust me.
I'll protect you.
Our good days
are not over.
Go.
Report.
One is wounded, one is captured.
The third suspect is at large.
Over.
Doctor,
how is my daughter?
There is no problem with her physical condition.
Just a few bruises.
Thank you.
But her psychological problems
are troublesome.
What do you mean?
Children as young as her
may suffer mental disorders
after experiencing, witnessing
or facing serious threats.
It's called post-traumatic stress disorder.
Post-traumatic stress disorder?
I have no idea. She...
Clinically, they will show some symptoms,
such as
re-experience, avoidance, numbness,
and increased alertness.
Well...
Your daughter was kidnapped.
It's a great mental stimulation.
She has all the symptoms I just mentioned.
And most importantly,
she has sudden aphasia.
Aphasia?
You mean,
she can't talk?
This is
not uncommon
in PTSD.
The younger the child,
the more likely it is to happen.
It's usually a subjective choice not to speak.
Doctor,
when will she speak?
This is out of control.
If it's not serious, it may take a few days or a few weeks.
But if it's serious,
it may take several years.
Several years?
Evaluate your daughter periodically.
At the same time, carry out intervention treatment.
This requires the active cooperation of parents.
An expert from the children's health department
will come to the hospital for consultation tomorrow.
You must come.
She will give you a detailed plan.
Thank you, doctor.
You're welcome.
Guoguo.
Don't be afraid. I'm here.
Don't cry.
Guoguo, it's me. Don't cry.
I...
Guoguo.
What's wrong?
He's your dad. Guoguo.
Don't cry. Guoguo.
It's alright.
Are you sleepy?
Have a sleep.
Guoguo.
I don't know what happened.
Why did she do this to me?
Why did she cry when she saw me?
She's blaming me.
Don't make blind and disorderly conjectures.
Guoguo just met with such a thing.
She's so young.
She hasn't recovered.
Maybe she doesn't want to see anyone.
But when she saw you,
her reaction was different.
She cried in your arms.
Why didn't she...
She's still blaming me, isn't she?
No.
Xu Lang,
although I'm not a doctor,
but I know you
and Xu Guo.
You are her dad,
the person she loves most in the world.
Stop guessing now.
When the doctor from the children's health department comes tomorrow,
she'll give you some advice.
So Guoguo must recover, right?
Yes.
She must recover.
She has such a good dad as you.
And us.
She must recover.
Thank you.
A child was kidnapped in Shanghai recently.
After the child's father reported the crime,
Shanghai Public Security Bureau immediately set up a special investigation team.
With the cooperative operation of multiple police categories
and a variety of investigative methods,
finally they found the child
in an abandoned plant
in Chuansha Town, Pudong New Area.
The police caught two suspects on the spot,
Zhong and Fang.
One suspect is at large.
We hope that the general public can actively help us.
The suspect's name is Chang Linxing.
He's from Handan, Hebei.
According to the photos provided by Fang...
Why don't you turn on the light?
You may be shortsighted.
Mr. Yu.
What's wrong with you, Wang Lei?
Why are you so nervous?
How is Xu Guo?
I just watched the news.
Guoguo is saved.
Or it'd be bad.
How do you know it's Xu Guo?
That's what the news just said.
Xu Guo's name
wasn't mentioned in the news just now.
And usually this kind of news
doesn't reveal the names of the child victims.
Even if it mentions,
it will use a pseudonym.
I...
I see.
Mr. Yu,
listen.
Is it Gary, right?
Gary?
Stop.
Don't try to cover him.
When I asked Yongjun to visit Xu Lang,
Gary must have heard us.
Since he knew,
it was known all over the world.
It's good that Guoguo's fine now,
but the kidnapper hasn't been caught.
It's strange.
Why was Xu Guo kidnapped?
Was it because of
Lawyer Xu's lawsuit recently?
Mr. Yu,
stop thinking.
You've been busy all day.
Go to bed early.
I can't.
I come back for a file.
I'm going to talk to the lawyer about the equity distribution later.
By the way,
have you found the person who edited the video?
The person who edited the video?
The parent-child show
I attended with Doudou.
An An has the material.
I'll ask her for it later.
OK.
In addition,
the CNF is about to start.
You have to be ready.
Got it.
How many times have I told you?
Don't call me again.
Give me some money and I'll leave.
Listen.
If you don't give me money,
I'll visit Mr. Yu.
Anyway, I fear nothing.
At worst,
we'll perish together.
How much do you want?
200,000.
200,000?
How can I raise so much money for you?
I have no money.
I don't care.
Three days.
Just three days.
You're forcing me.
8 yuan.
Right.
Mom.
Wang Lei,
what brings you here?
Where's that man?
He goes out.
He goes to the mahjong club, right?
Stop that.
What brings you here?
You don't want to see me?
I have some money
for you.
Don't give that man.
He drinks and gambles.
I don't want your money.
Why?
Just take care of yourself.
Take it.
I take good care of myself.
But someone's hindering me.
Did that man tell Zhong Linsu
I was in Shanghai?
No. A neighbor sent a box of fruit...
Don't pretend.
I can imagine
what Zhong Linsu did.
That man told you to leave my business alone,
so you didn't say anything, did you?
No. It's not true.
Well.
I'm about to succeed.
I'm going to buy the biggest house in Shanghai.
I will marry the man I love
and have two lovely babies.
But none of these
has anything to do
with you.
Where are you going?
I go to the market management office to pay the property fee.
Your daughter is greatly stimulated.
Today is the first day of intervention.
I only know some basic information,
so I can't judge.
But I'm sure
it isn't just the kidnapping
that traumatized her.
But some other accidents happened
during the kidnapping.
Don't say something complicated.
I cannot understand.
Just tell me what happened to her.
Why did she react that way
when she saw me?
That's what I care about.
So I asked her to draw a picture
to make a simple psychological assessment.
Look.
What is this?
Usually, children's concerns
are exaggerated
in their paintings.
Look.
This little girl represents Xu Guo.
I'm not sure
what this shadow beside represents right now.
Does it represent the kidnapper?
I asked her, but she shook her head.
Who is that?
I tried to ask a lot of options.
When I finally asked
whether it was her dad,
she nodded.
Lawyer Xu, well,
I suggest that
you shouldn't meet Xu Guo recently.
Don't let her get irritated again.
If in the process of recovery,
she can accept you
and won't cry when she sees you,
I'll let you meet.
What do you think?
What are you talking about?
How could this shadow be me?
Are you a doctor?
Do you know anything about medicine?
She's my daughter, but you don't let me see her.
I raise her.
Why doesn't she see me?
Why can't I see her?
Calm down.
Listen to the doctor.
There must be a reason.
Please calm down.
Well,
it's hard to judge
spiritual and psychological things.
I can only assess.
I can't make a diagnosis.
I may make a mistake.
But now
both of you are emotionally unstable.
That's why I don't let you meet.
Give each other some time, OK?
Give each other some time?
Why should we?
How long does it take?
How long can't I see her?
Xu Lang.
I'll observe her.
Give me a week.
Can you guarantee that she will recover in a week?
If I don't see her, will she recover?
Trust me.
It will be good for Guoguo.
OK?
No matter whether she's right or not,
as long as Guoguo can recover,
I won't see her.
I won't see her for a week,
as long as she can recover.
Xu Lang,
you are Guoguo's dad.
She needs you most now.
You have to trust her.
You should believe more than anyone else
you are her most important person.
There must be some misunderstanding.
As the doctor said, drawing works.
I'll draw with her every day.
I have to find out
what she's thinking.
No. You're very busy.
You have to work on the CNF.
Guoguo is equally important.
I want the best result on both sides.
Ms. Qiu,
this is the show I am most looking forward to
among all the CNF.
Look at the works of these designers.
How wonderful they are.
And I hope
this year's models
and image authors appear on the runway alternately
to create the historical peak of the CNF.
Ordinary people on the runway.
These authors are not models,
but their appearance on the runway
will definitely create a different feeling
for this year's CNF.
I hope so.
But
it seems that there's no such a precedent
in the CNF.
Will it be hard to control the scene?
I like to do unprecedented things.
Besides,
this is not
the first exception
made this CNF.
Hello?
Dawang.
It's you.
I brought you
the most authentic Beijing roast duck in Shanghai
and a bottle of high-quality champagne.
Actually, we bought them at the import supermarket next door.
Come on.
Well,
let's feel the life of
the fallen ordinary people.
What're you doing?
It's vulgar.
But for you,
I wouldn't
get the highest bidding price of this CNF.
I guess I couldn't even get into the CNF.
As I said,
I did that to revenge Wang Lei.
It was not for you.
I still have to thank you.
So we must
eat together here today.
Even if I agree,
it's too late.
Today,
the new tenants will come.
I have
to leave.
Dawang Studio
is officially closed today.
There will be only be Dawang in the world,
no more Dawang Studio.
Yeah.
The name of
our new studio is
Miss Rabbit Studio.
English name is Twice.
It's Western style, isn't it?
Yes.
Sit down here without worry.
The new tenants are An An and me.
We rent it here.
You?
I'll ask Tim
and Wu Bai back
to be your assistants again.
They will work for you.
An An,
Dawang will tell you she loves you.
Come on.
You want to marry me?
Do you have a lot of time?
Get ready for the show of the CNF.
Yes, boss.
I'll change.
Once again.
Come in.
Guoguo,
guess what your dad brings you.
Open it.
Painting brush.
Dad, don't worry.
In this month,
I'll miss you so much.
Who do you like?
I like you.
Done.
I grow taller.
-This... -I know.
Dad, this is what mom left me.
Mom?
Yeah.
Mon tells me stories.
It's mom's voice.
Grandma,
Dad and I are very happy.
I mean it.
Lawyers are supposed to help
those who are wronged
get back what belongs to them, right?
Dad, aren't you going to help them?
Will you help those bad guys?
I don't want you to help the bad guys.
But my dad is very busy.
No matter how busy he is, he will find time.
Really?
Yes.
He's your dad.
He loves you.
But I have never
heard him say he loves me.
Do you know how scared I was today?
You were also scared?
Yes.
I was afraid that I would lose you.
No.
I'll be with you forever.
The second one.
Yes.
The third one.
Look.
Go on. Walk.
It's the first time that I have seen a pink bird.
It's beautiful.
Guoguo,
let's draw a yellow bird, OK?
Well done.
Mrs. Xu.
Mrs. Xu, sit.
Stay.
Guoguo needs you.
I also hope you can stay.
Mrs. Xu.
Why are you sitting here?
Go in.
You get along so well together.
I don't want to disturb you.
Well,
Xu Guo
doesn't refuse to see you.
You can draw with us.
An An,
thank you.
And I also want to
say sorry.
Why do you make an apology?
I didn't like you to be with Xu Lang in the past.
It's not just because of the misunderstanding between you and me.
I know.
But you don't know the real reason.
I'm afraid you will think I'm very selfish if I tell you why.
I always thought that my son, Xu Lang,
is a very good single man,
not a single dad.
But you're
a real single mom.
I know.
It sounds harsh,
but I believe you are a mom,
so you should be able to understand.
Five year ago,
an accident happened to
Xu Lang.
He lost his beloved brother.
He hasn't forgotten it yet.
In fact, it's a knot in his heart
and mine.
And he always thinks
his brother died because of him.
In fact, it was me.
I killed my first son
and let my second son
live in self reproach all the time.
In fact,
I should
apologize.
It's not your fault.
I'm their mom. I'm to blame.
I drove Xu Lang's brother,
Xu Ming out.
He was so stubborn
and bad tempered.
Maybe Xu Lang was so good,
setting off
his terrible brother.
When they were 18, they separated.
As a mother,
I said something I shouldn't have said that day.
I didn't expect him to take what I said seriously
and left.
He never came back again.
But they kept in contact with each other.
He went to Thailand.
I often checked Xu Lang's messages secretly.
Later I heard that
he got married, had a daughter
and ran a home stay in Thailand.
I was happy.
But I put on airs.
I didn't go to visit him.
One day,
Xu Lang said
his brother would
bring his wife and daughter back.
I was excited.
But unexpectedly,
an accident happened.
Xu Lang has been blaming himself for this.
He thinks he killed his brother.
It's actually me.
I should blame myself most.
I'm the one who should apologize.
I don't know
why I want to tell you these today.
Sorry.
When I see you, I think of Xu Lang.
Why are you always so happy?
You always want to
bring warmth, happiness and laughter to the people around you.
I am the one who should say thank you most.
I hope Xu Lang can get better,
Guoguo can recover
and our family can get better.
It's not now.
But now it's getting better.
You have to be confident.
Don't you see
the change of Xu Lang now?
Actually, so many things happened.
I sometimes think
it's hard to be optimistic.
It's tiring
to fill up my energy every day,
affect everyone around me
and let everyone be happy.
I want to forget everything
and focus on myself.
I want to lie in bed every day,
watch the sun rise as usual
and complain about the bad days.
But I can't.
There are so many people I love around me.
I'm loath to part with them.
I want to ask you.
How can you be so happy every day?
In fact,
I knew early that
you'd think I was good sooner or later.
Can I regret now?
Of course.
Everything will be fine.
There is a fear
in everyone's heart
that we don't want to be disturbed.
Guoguo, let's play together.
But don't be afraid.
The happy memories that we used to have
can fight all our fears in the future.
