Never Say Never
Episode 23
People from mainland
really like it.
It’s portable and it can make people high easily.
It’s cheaper.
We can make more money out of it.
Mr. Tuo said
it’s popular in Hong Kong, too.
Actually the professor has already
created the new drugs.
Police can’t detect it.
Who knows
Qi Ke revealed the formula to the police.
But I kept the professor.
We need to improve it.
I think it must be feasible.
Good job.
But you should have told me earlier.
Why did you wait
until bad things happened.
This is my negligence.
Brother Ma.
How about we bring the professor here
and keep on researching it?
No hurry.
You should stay here.
Wait till things quiet down in mainland.
Okay.
I’m working on new products too.
I’ll show you in a few days.
Lately,
I need to handle issues at home.
What issues?
There’s a mole in my family.
Excuse me.
Come in.
Commissioner Han.
News came from Canglan that
Jin Lanlan and Ba who works for Qi Ke
have escaped.
We have already closed down
Jin Lanlan’s bar.
Also Jin Lanlan’s subordinate was caught
outside Canglan.
She’s now under interrogation.
The subordinates of Qi Ke and Gu Tao
are all under arrest.
Well down.
Jin Lanlan and Ba absconded.
Hunt them down.
Yes.
They’re both involved in homicide case.
I will inform the police.
We must arrest them.
Understand.
Mr. Ju.
What can I do for you?
Okay.
I will go next week.
Thank you.
Thank you for helping him.
Okay, I will.
This bastard!
Liu.
No arrangements
on next Monday afternoon, right?
Not yet.
Commissioner Han, what makes you so happy?
Wang Lei’s teacher just called.
His teacher told me
he behaves himself lately and gets good grades.
He gets along better with his classmates, too.
Next week he will be a Young Pioneer.
Really?
Yes.
That’s good.
Today is weekend.
Are you going to pick him up?
Yes.
I’m thinking
about rewarding him.
I’m leaving.
Okay.
Call me if you need anything.
Okay.
Here, take it.
Let’s go.
Commissioner Han.
I heard
you live in the office now.
Is everything okay?
Luo Fei passed away.
Her mom is in hospital.
Why would I go home?
How’s your wife?
She’s getting worse.
Well.
You guys are cracking down in Canglan.
Any progress?
Not really.
Only arrested some minor people.
Any important clues?
Not for now.
It’s not easy.
These big drug traffickers and arms dealers
are really sneaky.
Don’t let them go easily.
If you need any help
of the border defense,
just tell me.
We should stay on the same side
when it comes to work-related things.
Luo, I’m so glad
that you can think this way.
But there isn’t any for now.
You should focus
on taking care of your family.
Are you Miss Jin?
Yes, is Mr. Gu here?
Yes.
Mr. Gu is waiting inside.
This way.
Mr. Gu.
Miss Jin.
I never expect
Miss Jin to be such a beauty.
You’re flattering me.
You said you would bring your sister on the phone.
And this one...
He’s my subordinate, Ba.
What, Mr. Gu,
the prices are different for man and woman?
No no.
Just kidding.
Take a seat, Miss Jin.
Mr. Gu.
I’m tired from driving.
Where is the place you arranged for us?
I need a break.
Miss Jin.
As you said on the phone,
you want to make a deal with me.
Let’s talk about it.
No need to hurry.
I won’t go back for the moment.
We have plenty of time to talk about it.
How can I not hurry to talk about business?
I’m keen on making money.
Mr. Gu, do you mean
you are gonna kick us out
when the deal is done?
I’ve sent you the money for the transit.
As for our daily expenses here.
You name the price and I’ll pay up.
People always say
beautiful women are bad-tempered.
Okay.
We don’t talk about the deal for now.
Tell me
what’s going on in Canglan?
Gu Tao had a gunfight and got into big trouble.
He run away
after killed people.
The policemen are cracking down the whole city.
Is that true?
Actually it’s none of my business.
But I’m afraid the police can’t find enough people,
and come to arrest us.
That’s why I’m hiding out here.
Mr. Gu, I trust you.
I know you won’t fish in troubled water.
Or bully a little girl like me.
That’s why
I only brought one guy with me.
The rest of my subordinates
are staying in Canglan.
After all, all of my deals
and properties are there.
If something happens,
we can figure out a plan.
Am I right?
It’s very thoughtful of you, Miss Jin.
Although we haven’t met before,
we’ve made a few deals.
We are friends.
Aren’t you looking for
a place to stay?
Since you are here.
Just make yourself at home.
When you’re well-rested,
we can talk about our deal.
Thanks for your hospitality, Mr. Gu.
Here.
Take Miss Jin to the guest room.
Yes.
This way, please.
Miss Jin, this is your room.
And this room is yours, brother.
Have a rest, I’ll be downstairs.
Thank you, brother.
Ba.
Sister Lan.
This place is not as good as Canglan.
We need to stay on the alert.
Don’t worry, I’m here for you at any time.
Bring the bags here.
Brother.
That girl is impressive.
How dare she to mess with us
with only one guy?
And why you’re so nice to her?
If I were you.
I wouldn’t be so nice.
You don’t understand.
Even though she’s just a little girl,
she’s introduced by Gu Tao.
We are trying to figure out
what is Ma Sijie capable of.
Maybe
she can be a stepping stone.
Right.
You’ve heard it.
Gu Tao got into trouble in Canglan.
I think he’ll be back soon.
Go ask about it.
If he comes back,
bring him here.
Okay.
So you really allow her to stay here?
Relax.
She’s just a girl, what can she do.
From now on,
keep an eye on her.
Nothing wrong will happen.
How is he?
He is seriously wounded.
But if he keeps having high fever,
there’s nothing I can do.
If the condition here is not good,
then change a new place.
I need him to live,
at any cost.
Okay, I’ll try my best.
Take care of him.
Thanks.
Where are we?
Village.
Village?
Whose?
Where is Brother Tao?
Brother Tao.
You’re awake.
You can leave.
Brother Tao, where is Xia?
How is he?
I just heard
Xia is not under arrest.
What a relief!
It’s all my fault.
If I didn’t negotiate with Qi Ke,
we couldn’t have been in trouble.
Don’t take it personally.
Xia is really smart.
He will figure it out.
I’ll keep asking around.
Can you move?
If you can,
I’ll introduce you to the owner of the village.
Okay, no problem.
Let’s go.
Can you make it?
Don’t force yourself.
I’m fine, Brother Tao.
I just feel weak.
You’ve been having fever for days.
That’s normal.
Brother Tao.
Who’s the owner?
One of my brothers, Brother Ma.
Here in Kangbang,
he’s well-respected.
So,
Brother Ma does the same business as us?
The village is so big.
Why is it so empty?
Not even a subordinate.
Brother Ma likes it quiet.
Why would he need so many people in the stockade?
They are all outside.
When they are needed,
you will know.
It’s not as comfy as our villa.
It’s not our place.
We have to tolerate.
Listening instead of asking.
Understand.
Fang Mo.
During this time
you need to recuperate.
Once you are recovered,
we will get back what we’ve lost.
Okay, Brother Tao.
Wherever you go, I will follow.
Let’s go.
Close the door.
Brother Ma.
I overheard
Gu Tao called someone.
It’s a foreign number, no name was mentioned.
But Gu Tao seemed to respect him a lot.
It seems
we’ve finally found
the one we are looking for.
Fang Mo.
Hello, Brother Ma.
Take a seat.
I heard that you helped Tao
in Canglan.
Brother Ma, you are flattering me.
I’m just assisting Brother Tao.
You’re so young.
Why do you want to do this?
A guy like me,
has no cares.
I’m willing to do anything.
I heard that in Canglan.
you have saved Tao many times
I’m so lucky to have Brother Tao in my life.
Brother Tao treat me like his own brother.
I can’t complain.
I’m doing what I can.
You’re just here.
Feel free to ask anything.
Okay, Brother Ma.
Come in.
Brother Tao.
Boss, we caught the thief.
It’s the cook.
Brother Qiang interrogated him for a long time,
but he got nothing.
Now he is beaten up.
Tao.
How about you bring your guy.
Let’s go and check.
Brother Ma, don’t ask him to go.
He’s still injured.
Let him have a rest.
Brother Tao, I’m fine.
Let me take a look.
Fine.
Let’s go.
How dare you to steal my goods?
How dare you?
Boss.
He stole the goods.
But he didn’t confess.
Brother Tao, what’s going on?
Shut up.
It’s worthless.
If you give it back now,
I’ll forgive you.
I don’t like killing people
in the early morning.
Fang Mo.
Kill him.
Brother Ma.
It is not appropriate.
He just got here and you want him to kill.
This is the treasure
that Brother Tao brought back from afar?
Can you kill him?
Don’t wet your pants.
I don’t want to mop the floor.
What? Speak louder.
How dare you, Bastard?
Go die.
What are you doing? He has something to say.
What did he say?
He clearly wanted to say something.
Why did you stop him?
What did he say to you?
How come he refused to talk to me
and talked to you when you were here?
What are you doing?
Do you know where you are?
I’m still here.
Okay? Brother Tao.
Clean this place later.
Come with me.
Are you deaf? Hurry.
You okay?
Yes.
the sample,
you must find it.
Understand.
Fang Mo.
Did you hear
what the cook said?
I saw him murmuring.
I can’t hear it.
Have a rest.
Brother Ma.
Is Fang Mo reliable?
Brother Ma.
He’s not recovered yet.
He is not sober-minded.
He just came here.
And you ask him to kill someone.
Who could react that fast?
I don’t raise do-nothing here in the village.
If he can’t do it,
ask him to leave.
When he’s recovered.
you will see what he’s capable of.
Boss, I’ve cleaned it.
Tell Fang Mo
about the rules in this village.
Got it.
Kiddo,
boss asks me to tell you.
Since you are here,
you need to follow the rules.
I know Gu Tao brought you here.
No big deal.
Here belongs to Brother Ma.
I will follow the rules.
Cool.
Keep in mind,
don’t go somewhere you aren’t supposed to go.
Don’t try to know
the things you aren’t supposed to know.
Otherwise you will get killed
even not knowing what’s going on.
I got it.
Don’t just say it.
The people who didn’t follow the rules
disappeared in the village.
That fatty.
What did he say to you?
So should I.
or shouldn’t I hear it?
Fine, keep it a secret forever.
How dare you, bastard.
Go die.
Brother, I’ve learned
Gu Tao is here,
at the village of Ma Sijie
with another guy.
Only two people?
Only two.
He has been in serious trouble this time,
suffered great losses.
Do we need to meet him
as he is so sorehead now?
You don’t understand.
Let me tell you.
At this critical time
we need to show our concern.
Gu Tao is not our target,
Ma Sijie is.
For so many years,
his goods can arrive safely in China.
I don’t understand.
How come
he manages it every time.
Take a look at Ma Sijie.
He has no respect
for anyone.
But,
Gu Tao gets along well with him.
Throughout the years,
we are just making small deals
in the neighborhood.
We didn’t make much money.
Once we have access to the border of China,
we will make a fortune.
Bother Tao, Brother Ma.
How do you feel?
I’m fine.
But I feel bad staying inside.
I need some fresh air.
Are you going out?
I’m going out with Brother Ma.
If you feel well.
Qiang is about to go out.
You can go with him,
assist and learn from him.
Sure, no problem.
No need, Brother Tao.
Just some errands.
I can handle it myself.
Alright.
You can walk around the village.
Don’t go too far.
Okay.
Boss.
Here?
This place
I’ve been working for half a year.
Mr. Ma.
It’s okay, go on.
Mr. Zhang.
Come on, drink.
Is it good?
Really good.
Mr. Ma.
What brings you here?
It’s such a mess.
Professor Zhang looks good.
If you need anything,
ask Juan to tell Qiang.
He will arrange for you.
Good, good.
Juan takes good care of this place.
I have everything I need.
Don’t worry, Mr. Ma.
Let me introduce you my partner.
This is Tao.
I’m showing him around.
Nice to meet you.
My name is Zhang Taifeng.
Nice to meet you.
Have a seat.
Mr. Ma, have a seat, please.
How’s it going?
Mr. Ma.
The research
can never been done in one day.
I have been doing research
day and night.
It’s been two months
since you showed me the samples.
No progress at all?
Don’t look at it that way.
I do need some time.
It seems you said the same thing
half a year ago.
Mr. Ma.
Don’t forget your promise.
5 million dollars and an US passport.
I’ve been taking great risks
doing this research.
In the future,
I can only flee and conceal my name.
Professor,
can you show me
The latest product?
Juan, go bring some samples.
Brother Ma.
We can’t count on the professor.
I will work on it.
How about I bring my professor here?
At least he can do something.
Do what you think is appropriate.
Okay.
Right,
we have another batch of goods.
Guo Lao has it.
We can’t deliver it to mainland.
How about bringing it here?
Okay.
Ask Hu Qiang to get it.
Sure.
This time let Fang Mo go with him.
He is familiar with Guo Lao.
Mr. Ma.
Don’t forget your promise.
5 million dollars and an US passport.
Brother Tao, what’s wrong?
Brother Ma and I went to see
the professor he hired for new product.
He was so demanding.
He asked for 5 million dollars and woman’s company.
He spent months
producing a pack of cheap blue powder.
Even the fools can tell.
It’s just ice processing.
How could Brother Ma be happy about it?
He’s just fooling around.
How dare he to fool Brother Ma?
Who knows how Hu Qiang
found someone like him?
I told Brother Ma.
You can contact with Professor Zhao.
Bring him here so he can continue with the research.
Got it.
Well,
boss, I went to the plantation.
The workers weren’t happy
because we paused half of the production.
They want to make some trouble.
Don’t bother me with minor things.
Can’t you handle it yourself?
I, I’ve been working on it.
I fired the dissatisfied workers.
And I made the decision
to keep the rest of them.
Handle the Mr. Zhang as well.
What’s wrong? Boss.
I don’t need useless people
to stay in my place.
Got it.
If you don’t feel like
running errands for me recently,
I can ask someone else to do.
Don’t, boss.
I can handle it.
Now I’m going to Jiu Daopo.
I will handle the plantation, too.
I’m leaving now.
Look at yourself.
Professor.
What kind of professor are you?
You are embarrassing me, you know?
