[The Golden Eyes]
[Episode 54]
You are you. I am me.
Correct. You are you, and I am me. I am an illegitimate child without a father.
Not long after my mom remarried, she threw me aside.
Abandoned. Let me tell you this.
During that time, surviving
was as hard as getting to heaven.
You don't understand.
Do you know what the feeling is like
when a person reached the stage of extreme hunger?
Do you know what the feeling is like when you are always given the supercilious look by others, and your forehead is forever lowered?
That's called the low point of life.
The moment I was born, I was in the low point of life.
What does it mean to excel among my peers? I don't even dare think about it,
unless the opportunity comes along.
If any opportunity should come along, I must grab hold of it even if I had to fight with all my life.
Do you understand?
That winter forty years ago,
an archaeological expedition team came to our village.
The job of the guide is a lucrative one.
The people in the village fought over it.
Unexpectedly, Zhuang Qiming showed great mercy and chose me to be the guide.
Good. So, I led the expedition team
and started walking until we reached Feng Quan's tomb.
The accident which occurred inside Feng Quan's tomb
thoroughly changed my destiny.
Nakagawa! How are you, Nakagawa?
Save me...
I will. I will definitely save you.
I will definitely bring you out from here. You must trust me.
After we escaped,
we found a village for us to convalesce.
During this period of convalescence,
I found out that Yohei Nakagawa's eyes
were abnormal.
I was very puzzled.
Then, I began to carefully observe all of Yohei Nakagawa's actions secretly.
I never expected that later,
I discovered an enormous secret.
Nakagawa, what can your eyes actually see?
I think I can see through the surface of objects
and look at the inside.
This is exactly the same as what Feng Quan described.
The wall painting in Feng Quan's tomb described the process by which his eyes gained extraordinary abilities.
And the abnormal condition of his eyes are the same as your condition now.
Are you saying that those eye totem drawings
were a kind of symbol designed by Feng Quan?
During the explosion,
were you holding that jade eye in your hand?
- Are you referring to that paperweight? - Yes.
I think it was shattered during the explosion.
I think the abnormal condition of your eyes is related to the jade eye.
Related to the jade eye?
Yohei Nakagawa was lucky.
He managed to escape from me.
But your grandfather, Zhuang Qiming...
Unfortunately, I didn't find the jade eye with him.
My grandfather was really killed by you!
Y-You don't know anything about it.
When I discovered your grandfather, he was near death.
Even though I stabbed him several times, he still ran so fast. Don't you think he's stupid?
- You're a mad man! - How could you blame me?
Don't be impulsive, child!
Let me tell you. What's the crux of the matter?
The thing which I spent so many years looking and couldn't find,
you gained it so easily just like that.
This is my concern.
Why don't you just kill me, too?!
How could I bear to kill you?
I need you to live well.
Kojima?
Very surprised? What do you think then?
How did I know that Gu Tianfeng knew the inside story?
Never expected that I would meet Nakagawa's descendant here.
You knew my father?
Not only do I know him.
Looks like my father and you had a relationship that went some way back.
Actually, it should have been Nakagawa and I
who were going in that archaeological activity that year.
But later, Zhuang Qiming went on my behalf.
We maintained communication through letters all these years.
These letters and the materials from that year
are still with me until now.
So that is what happened.
I never expected that there's still someone else
who knew what happened to the archaeological team.
Every event that has happened
will surely be known by someone.
Xiao Rui, you need to rest for a while.
Okay.
I got it.
Is there any news about Zhuang Rui?
Before they got hold of the jade eye,
they surely will not stop.
As long as they take action, we'll have a chance.
Now, we can only think this way.
Feifei, we have clues.
Where was this taken?
My men took this at a cafe in the city.
But they lost him after that.
Then, who is this other person?
I've never see him before.
Right now, Long Kun obviously know that we are looking everywhere for him.
Yet, he couldn't wait to go and meet this person.
This clearly indicates that the status of this person is rather complicated.
This... person looks familiar.
How could you find a Ukrainian familiar?
I remember now.
When I was studying abroad, this person came to my school to give a lecture.
Ukrainian Professor of Neurology, Peter Pavlovic.
I did say I remember correctly.
Correct. It's him.
Why would an authority in medicine associate with Long Kun?
They must be taking action on Xiao Rui.
No, we can't sit around and wait for death.
Xiao Rui is in great danger in their hands.
Elena, if you have any news of Long Kun, please tell us immediately.
Okay.
Xiao Yun, go and find out how to contact Peter Pavlovic.
Don't worry. I'll definitely find him.
Don't worry.
We have already cleared the way for the relationship with the goods yard.
We will surely succeed.
You did well in the work concerning this area.
You managed to get so many cultural relics from China.
I now have a blockade-free relationship with the goods yard.
If our plan is successful, we'll be able to conquer the antique market in Kiev,
and completely establish ourselves.
Just for the sake of establishing ourselves in Kiev?
Aren't you being too short sighted?
If today, it is just for the sake of having enough food and warm clothes, it would not have been necessary then for us to walk this difficult road and risk danger out of desperation.
Let me tell you this. Those cultural relics transported here from our home country
are all personally authenticated and restored by me.
They are national treasures!
With them, Kiev will become
a worldwide center for cultural exchange of relics from China.
Never expected that your appetite is bigger than mine.
I think I'm a little too greedy.
Human nature.
How's the preparation for Zhuang Rui's operation?
I have already invited the surgeon and his assistant here.
They are neurology specialists who are internationally renowned.
Good.
How did it go?
Are we looking at the wrong place? Or did I recognize the wrong person?
The nurse in the hospital said Peter Pavlovic and his assistant have not turned up at the hospital for a week. They have gone for a vacation.
I think this is most likely related to Long Kun.
This is going to be troublesome.
Why are you looking for me, Kleiza?
Shall we go to the exhibit together tonight?
Lately, I don't have much interest to attend these so-called exhibits.
Aren't you interested in cultural relics from China?
There are some cultural relics from China.
Please.
We were invited to the exhibition. What's all these about?
Be patient. Follow me.
Welcome, everyone. Welcome, all the friends from the world of antique collection,
to our exhibit.
The items in this exhibition are, in the following order,
circular-shaped pattern jade from the Warring States period (475 - 221 BC),
a cat's eye pendant in-laid with gold from the Qing Dynasty,
and, the Sanskrti zither of a great sage from the Song Dynasty.
These three items are cultural relics of national treasure grade from China.
First, I would like to introduce the circular-shaped pattern jade from the Warring States period.
It has no blemish on its entire body. Although kept for a thousand years, it is still in good condition and undamaged.
The jade is noble and unsullied, symbolizing the creative power of a genius and wisdom's precipitation.
- Yes, that's good. - Next, I'm going to introduce the second item.
This is the Qing Dynasty's
cat's eye pendant in-laid in gold.
All of you will notice that it's body is transparent, and the light that shines through is clear.
It was once the plaything of the Qing Dynasty emperor.
Thus, it is a very rare item.
Not bad, not bad.
Lastly, I would like to introduce the Sanskrit zither of a great sage from Song Dynasty.
It came from the imperial court of Song Dynasty. It has a beautiful and powerful bearing.
Although covered in dust for a thousand years, it is still hard to conceal its luster.
Never expected that we could actually see such treasures here.
These are just the appetizers.
If all of you are satisfied,
we can import from China another batch of products that will be of the same quality and grade next time.
- I think it's good. - Of course. - By that time,
- we will invite all of you here to appreciate them. - This thing is very valuable.
Even if it's sky-high price, it will be worth it.
- How much are they? - I will buy it. - I'm buying. - I want to get them all.

They were totally enchanted. One can imagine
that once the exhibition officially opens its curtains,
we surely will cause a sensation in the whole Kiev antique collection field.
Wrong, it's in the whole world.
What is this? Was it from the same batch of relics?
Look.
It's the jade eye! How is this possible?
I have to thank Ryosuke Nakagawa for this.
For a long time, he didn't give up in finding them.
Hence, Kojima was able to successfully find this.
No wonder you've withdrawn all my men from the museum.
It's because you've gotten hold of the jade eye.
Will we still seek the jade eye in their hands then?
Why won't we want it?
As long as Zhuang Rui is still in our hands,
the other jade eye would be delivered to us sooner or later.
You'll have a lot of time to look at it.
What?
They actually were able to smuggle cultural relics to here?
Other than local antique collectors of Kiev,
there were black market businessmen from different countries who were there.
They have huge appetite
and the amount of antiques were also quite shocking.
Those bastards...
Are they treating this as dividing the treasure between the Eight-Nation Alliance?
Mr. Victor,
please think of a way to stop these so-called antique collectors.
These are Chinese cultural relics.
What they are doing is illegal.
In front of self-interest, these businessmen can't be bound by anything.
Feifei, I really can't do anything about this. I hope you understand.
This...
What do we do now? We're totally in a passive state.
Hello, Sis Fei.
Hello, Zhao.
It's just 3 am. What is it?
How could they just take them like that? Those were our country's cultural relics!
- Long Kun and Ma Tengfeng are currently - Don't panic.
smuggling national treasure grade cultural relics to Ukraine.
We only know that the destination is Kiev.
Go investigate for any logistics paths in our country.
Prioritize those large scale goods transfer.
See if you can find any suspicious goods.
Okay. I understand. I'll investigate it now.
Okay. Bye-bye.
This matter is quite huge. It might be hard for Little Zhao back home to investigate it.
But if we don't have any hard proof about such a huge matter,
I reckon we won't be able to request for any help. We can only try our luck.
Oh, right, Xiao Yun. How's your search for that professor?
He disappeared with his assistant.
The last time anyone saw them was in a warehouse.
Warehouse?
Elena has already found out that one of the owner of that warehouse is Long Kun.
We also found out that he would appear there every Sunday.
How are you? Are you used to living here?
This came from China.
Help me take a look at it.
That is a national-grade cultural treasure. How come it's with you?
Continue saying.
If you can clearly explain it,
I'll think about telling you about it.
Emperor Kangxi once worn a precious gem pendant made of cat's eye with gold inlaid.
This precious gem pendant was embedded in a golden container.
It looked like a cat's eye staring at the person looking at it.
After Emperor Kangxi died, Yongzheng and Qianlong both kept it.
In the end, it was lost in the hands of Puyi.
That is how wild history recorded its value.
But in reality, as an art product,
it contains a huge flaw.
How is that possible?
At the back of the precious gemstone, there's a crack.
To hide this crack,
the maker of that precious gemstone embedded it on a golden socket.
If you use a UV light to look at it, you will see it very clearly.
Uncle De said
that you have awesome eyes.
I initially didn't believe it.
You are more outstanding that how he described.
No wonder he would risk his life
to have those jade eyes.
How did you get that item?
Of course, it's through Uncle De's abilities.
Let me be honest with you.
Other than this, there would be another batch of this kind of cultural relics.
Each one being a great treasure.
Uncle De cares about you. But too bad,
you refuse to cooperate.
Once we've resolved the matter here,
we'll then forever part.
Too bad!
What too bad?
Too bad that in this highly profitable business of yours,
you might not be able to get even a cent.
You think that once this matter is over,
Uncle De will still keep you alive?
We are partners.
Without me, how could he make those so many deals?
A cultural relic smuggling business?
What Uncle De needs now
is your connections here in Kiev.
Back in China, all cultural relic channels
are in his hands.
As long as this deal is a success, I believe that he'll find a better partner.
Impossible! I won't allow it!
It's not up to you.
Oh, right.
Your state now made me remember someone.
Who?
Do you know how Uncle De was able to dispose of Qin Haoran?
You actually were able to find this place.
Your Ukrainian friends are quite capable.
Long Kun, where is Zhuang Rui?
What can you do if I don't say it?
If you dare touch me, don't even think of seeing Zhuang Rui again.
Since we're able to track you here,
we naturally could find out where you're hiding Zhuang Rui.
We don't want to end up with a life and death struggle then perish altogether with you. Please tell Uncle De
that we want to make a deal with him.
Deal? No problem.
Can I go now?
Hence, your luck is still not bad.
You were able to encounter this kind of strange thing,
and make a few good friends.
What are you planning to do?
Nothing. Nothing. Don't worry.
They are very well. They are fine.
Also, just for you,
they would rather give the jade eye up. So touching.
- What are you planning to do to them? - Nothing.
I feel that you should be happy.
You have a good group of friends willing to do such things for you. Am I right?
Someone would be coming tomorrow to check on you,
to check if you're safe here,
to confirm if you're alive.
Let me tell you that when you see them tomorrow, try to persuade them
to just hand over the jade eye.
Don't think of scheming. It's of no use.
Dream on.
You should stop being persistent too.
I know that you're suffering.
Even if you don't think for yourself, try considering your friends.
Feifei, long time no see.
That's right.
After I've arrested you, we'll be able to see each other often.
Police Officer Miao has learned to make jokes. That's a good thing.
Peng Fei, are you used to the cold weather here in Ukraine?
Okay. Who among you would be going in? Only one can go in.
That's not what Long Kun said.
That's how I said it.
Anyway, you are just going to get inside to check on Zhuang Rui's situation.
Whether he's safe, healthy, sick, alive, or dead. Just one person looking is enough.
How come I feel so awkward talking in front of you two?
Is it because it's too different from before?
Can't do anything about it. That's life.
Each one just getting what they need. Each one just doing their job. Who will go in?
- Wait for me here. I'll go in. - Be careful.
No need to be careful. Please go inside.
Five minutes.
Are you okay?
You shouldn't have come.
You shouldn't make a deal with Ma Tengfeng.
We can't just leave you here.
Everyone is worried about you.
I also am very worried.
Did they do anything to you?
You shouldn't hand the jade eye to them as an exchange.
I don't have much time left. There's no need for it.
No matter if it's worth it or not,
we must give it a try.
Quickly go check. Hurry.
Tomorrow, we'll pretend to exchange the jade eye and lure everyone here away.
By then, I'll think of a way to get you out, so be prepared.
The security here is very strict.
I fear that it won't be that easy.
- Come over to warm up. - This place is so cold. - Indeed.
No matter what, we have to give it a try.
Oh, right. Long Kun and Ma Tengfeng are currently importing some cultural relics
here to Kiev. The deal would be made in two days.
I know about this. Little Zhao is currently investigating it,
but we have too little information in our hands.
There are too many goods being exchanged between Kiev and China.
It's like finding a needle in a haystack. Investigating it is too difficult.
Ma Tengfeng is a very cautious person.
If we are going to use usual means, there surely won't be a chance.
But don't hand him the real jade eye. You just need to delay the time.
Delay the time? What are you planning to do?
I have an idea
on how to find their contact in China. You just need to help me create a video clip.
How is Xiao Rui?
Quite alright.
You've seen the person.
Can we continue with our deal?
You have more people.
What if you don't release him after we've handed the good?
What do you want then?
The exchange venue must be changed.
Sure.
I'll send some venue choices to you later.
I'll go by myself tomorrow. You all just stay here and guard.
Yes, don't worry.
What time is it already?!
Does he want to die?
Won't everything be done with if we just do the exchange honestly?
He's already a little white mouse here and he's still concerned about his country and its citizens?
Since he made a choice,
we then should believe and help him.
Xiao Yun, call Liu Jia to find someone that can create a news.
News? For what?
Zhuang Rui requested this.
This news clip would then be broadcast in the web portal between China and Ukraine.
After the news release,
we only need to join together an imaginary link.
Mr. Victor, we need a signal blocker.
The coverage area need not be too wide.
It's enough for it to be effective within 10 meters.
No problem.
This is Zhuang Rui's location.
Tomorrow, we'll be in charge of dragging Ma Tengfeng's attention. I'll leave Zhuang Rui to you.
Understand?
I do.
Police Officer Miao,
do you have news about Kojima?
The time was too short. I didn't have a chance to ask.
But she wasn't locked up together with Zhuang Rui.
Sorry.
Eat. You still have a major matter to do tomorrow.
I don't know what you're saying.
I urge you guys to be careful.
Uncle De isn't that easy to be deceived.
Why did you betray Mr. Nakagawa?
Mr. Zhuang, I think you got it wrong.
I never betrayed Mr. Nakagawa.
From the start,
I was just fulfilling the task assigned to me by Mr. Ma Tengfeng.
Done. I just need to add the screen captions.
[ My Darling ]
Honey.
How is it going?
I'm about to finish. I guarantee that it will be done before 12 midnight.
The broadcast will not get delayed.
Okay. Have to trouble you this time, Teacher Xiao Jia.
Just be at ease.
No need to say such things to me at this critical moment.
What's important now is to rescue Zhuang Rui.
That's more important than anything else.
I'm hanging up. Bye-bye.
Okay. Bye-bye...
Stop right there.
Uncle De.
Long time no see.
Can your body take
the chilly weather here?
I fear that you might faint if you get so agitated later.
Those are indeed words that would be said by you.
Have you brought the item?
Of course.
