Never Say Never
Episode 25
We might as well try to get along with him.
The goods we have
can only be shipped through him.
We can figure out their intention first.
Understand.
Mo.
What’s up, Yanguang?
Tao wants to see you.
Mr. Gu
asked boss and Tao to go out for dinner.
And there's a Miss Jin from Canglan.
Wait a moment, I’ll be ready in a bit.
Alright.
Mo.
Just now the boss told me
I helped with this pick-up.
It's well done.
He said I can follow you from now on.
You must have spoken for me
in front of the boss.
Thank you very much.
I didn't say anything.
You're doing a good job.
Everybody can see it.
We are family.
Don't be a stranger.
All right.
Why do I always hear the music?
Who is playing
here?
Who is so artistic?
That's supposed to be Mi'nan.
Mi'nan?
The girl who took care of me when I just got here.
Yeah, that's her.
What does she do?
Why does a little girl
stay here?
She does some simple jobs
like cleaning.
She doesn’t come to the front yard.
We don’t often see her.
But boss have warned us.
No one can bully her.
Isn’t this our warrior?
After the delivery you became a star.
Now you are standing tall.
Qiang.
Boss asked Mo to meet him.
That pye-dog finds its new master.
Even you are speaking louder.
Don’t forget who you are.
Let’s go.
Bother Ma, Tao.
Long time no see.
Kun, it’s been so long.
Miss Jin.
As I’ve mentioned,
Mr. Ma, a well-known dealer in Kangbang.
Ma.
Heard a lot about you, Ma.
Mr. Gu said
the first person I should visit in Kangbang is you.
Haven’t got a chance.
Finally meet you today.
Mr. Gu, you are flattering me.
Let's not just stand and talk.
Please sit down.
Kun.
I'm just back for a few days.
You're a real know-it-all.
Tao,
Don't make fun of me.
Miss Jin told me
something went wrong over there in China.
I’m worried about you.
So I’ve been checking on you.
Now I know you're back.
So, I want to treat you
for your arrival.
It's very kind of you, Kun.
Miss Jin and I are predestined friends.
Miss Jin.
I'm curious.
Why did you give up your business in Canglan
and move to Kangbang?
Thanks to Mr. Gu,
Canglan went through big changes.
I'm a little girl.
If I can’t count on you,
it doesn't make any sense to stay.
I might as well come to Kangbang and start a small business.
A good tree is a good shelter.
Miss Jin, you are about to
realize your ambition.
You have a new staff now.
There's got to be a helper.
Mr. Gu.
We could be counted as
the survivors in Canglan.
Ba really wants to follow me.
I hope what’s between us is bygone.
It's for the best.
I don't want to talk about it anymore.
But if anyone
wants to settle scores with me,
I will be here.
Mr. Gu.
I apologize for what happened before.
Mr. Tao.
The two of us
haven't seen each other for more than half a year.
Absolutely.
Then I advise you,
don't leave this time.
What is so good about China?
It’s been through crackdowns every day.
You will be afraid of them.
It’s good to be back.
Make some small deals or something together.
That would be great.
Mr. Kun.
I'm out of business now.
I’m counting on you.
Help me out here.
Don’t say that.
In what way can I care for you?
I'm counting on you and Ma.
Please take care of me.
Right, Tao.
I heard
you have been working on
something new.
When you have time,
let me take a look.
Kun, you’re impressive.
You know all about it.
I want to have
this new product, too.
But the things in Canglan
happened all of a sudden.
I'm not ready for it.
I brought a brother
and went directly to Ma.
Speaking of business,
I don't know how to
do my own business now.
On the contrary, Kun,
Ma told me,
now in the whole Golden Triangle,
Kun ranks number one.
My God, Ma.
Stop flattering me.
Give me a way out.
But since we’ve talked about it.
If you need my help,
just ask me.
Kun,
I’ll keep it in mind.
If I really need some help,
please don’t turn me down.
No, no way.
Now
in Kangbang,
speaking of someone with prosperous business and household,
Ma deserves the name.
In the future,
I'm counting on your to
spare me some business.
Let’s make money all together.
Yeah, Mr. Ma.
Mr. Gu said
in Kangbang,
your business is by far the biggest.
I wonder if there is anything
I could help you.
I come all the way here.
Completely clueless.
Friends, from now on
please take care of me.
Miss Jin, you're flattering us.
But our businesses
are not the same kind.
I'm afraid
I'll let Miss Jin down.
Come and drink.
As for business,
let's find a time to talk later.
Today,
we are here to welcome Tao.
Cheers.
Tao.
If there isn’t anything.
I'm going upstairs now.
You're recovered.
Don't always stay here.
It's all right to hang out.
Get to know the place.
Can I leave the village?
Hu Qiang told me that there are many rules here.
I didn't even ask.
Is there anything you dare not to do?
We're not in jail.
Don't go out and make trouble.
That's cool.
I’ve been in the village these days.
I got so bored.
Going out for girls, right?
You’re just recovered, be careful.
Don't worry, Tao.
I can take care of myself.
Fang Mo.
I know it.
What a coincidence.
It's a coincidence.
I can even meet you here.
When we were at dinner.
I didn't get to talk to you.
At this place,
I don't know anyone.
We're sort of old friends.
Let’s have a drink.
I don’t drink.
Just one cup.
I was going to treat you to a drink in Canglan.
Let's go.
Ma, I've made connection.
In the Golden Triangle,
there is a former partner.
Although the price they offered is a little lower.
Since we can't transit this batch
into mainland,
it's better to sell it fast.
I think Gu Kun
wants to deliver these goods.
Ma.
I think
since it’s not our place,
Let’s not do it like last time.
Many inspections,
toll fees,
we will lose money.
Why not let him have some benefits?
Isn't it easy for us too?
Well, I'll tell Hu Qiang.
All right.
Right, Ma.
I'm in touch with the professor.
Would you like to meet him here?
Sure.
Tao.
Do you think why Gu Kun
knows about
your new products?
Jin Lanlan.
That little girl was doing well in Canglan.
She has a good relationship with Qi Ke, too.
It must be her.
That little girl
knows how to make a mess.
I've been working on new products
in the plantation.
Half of the business was paused.
Gu Kun must have heard something,
and asked about.
Now Professor Zhao is coming over.
It should be kept as a secret.
No problem.
I’ll put Fang Mo on this job.
Since you have Fang Mo,
you haven’t done anything well.
Your formula was revealed.
Haven’t you doubted him?
No way.
He was badly wounded in order to save the professor.
You have seen it.
Anyone is possible, not him.
If you don't believe him,
you can send someone to him.
I don't care.
I won’t interfere with your business.
Since you trust him,
let him do it then.
If there's anything wrong,
you can check on him.
All right.
You seem to be getting used to being here.
How long has it been?
Just a few days.
I came when things went wrong in Canglan.
How did you turn to Jin Lanlan?
My boss is gone.
The place was also confiscated by the police.
I’ve done bad things.
Sooner or later I’ll end up in jail.
You're not there either.
Miss Jin is my only option.
But I got lucky.
I didn't expect her to get me out.
We are skirted.
I didn't expect you to come here.
You know about Qi Ke?
Yes.
You don't blame me?
And had dinner at the same table with me.
I tied the professor up.
You must have known.
And now
you and I.
are eating together.
Well,
we just worked for our boss.
How could we
hate each other?
He used to treat me like that.
You’ve seen it before.
If I hadn't had a silly brother,
I don’t need this job.
I won’t follow him.
He has something in his own hand,
but also thinking about getting more.
He won’t let go of anyone.
It's normal till now.
Can you talk to Mr. Gu?
It seems that
he doesn’t trust me.
So now you work for Jin Lanlan?
She brought me here.
It's like saving my life.
It's not easy
for a little girl like her.
There's no help around.
I followed her,
isn't it better than following my boss?
Ba.
Jin Lanlan may not be the girl
as you imagine.
Won’t be too bad.
I've always wanted to thank you for one thing.
What is it?
Last time we shipped goods.
If you didn’t bring me out,
I may still be in jail.
Not mention it.
I have to.
You saved my life.
At that time, our boss
didn’t get along well with each other.
Even so you bailed me out.
To be honest,
if you told me then
that you wanted to get me out,
I wouldn't believe it myself.
But now I believe.
You are just
sharp-tongued but tender-hearted.
Don't mention things from the past.
Come on.
Jin Lanlan was fine in Canglan.
Why she comes to Kangbang?
You guys caused it.
The police cracked down Canglan.
Every places
are all cleaned up. Nothing left.
Miss Jin said
you got lucky.
You escaped fast.
But we also escaped.
Judging from what Miss Jin and Mr. Gu said,
the business between them
was introduced by Mr. Gu.
Otherwise we would have been here
without a place to stay.
After what we’ve been through,
and you are helping me again.
You got lucky, too.
What Jin Lanlan
plans to do next?
She turned to Gu Kun.
Maybe wants to do some business.
I don't care that much.
I do what I’m told to.
It’s good.
I want to tell you something.
Go ahead.
We have shipped goods together.
We are like buddies been through the same things together.
Let bygone be bygone.
In the future,
if we meet again,
let's not give each other hard time, shall we?
What you mean is
our own bosses
will confront each other, right?
I’m just saying.
I used to work for Qi Ke.
So, I must been blacklisted
by Mr. Gu.
I can't follow you.
But I don't want to be your enemy.
They mind their business,
we mind our own.
All right, I promise you.
Cool.
Drink.
Let's get hammered tonight.
Excuse me.
Did I interrupt you?
Why are you here?
Usually no one would
come here.
I heard the music
every night.
So, I want to check it out.
You play really well.
Thank you.
Mi’nan,
you live alone in the backyard?
There was one more person before.
A sister who’s good at boxing.
Her name is An Ting.
She's nice.
I don't usually have anyone to talk with in this village.
She's the only one who talks to me
and cares about my family,
and about my mother.
And then what?
Then she might have gone home.
I didn't see her before she left.
There might be something urgent.
Do you know anything else about her?
She didn't say anything about herself.
You can ask Ma.
Ma is good to her.
He must know.
You gotta go.
You can't come to the backyard.
It is not good to be seen.
All right, I'll go back.
Tao.
Where did you go last night?
I haven't seen you all night.
I met Ba and had a drink with him.
Ba?
You two didn't fight?
No, he treated me.
We had a good conversation.
Come and tell me about it.
He looks clumsy,
but he knows to change his view according to the circumstances.
As soon as Qi Ke collapsed, he followed Jin Lanlan.
You didn't go easy on him in Canglan.
Why he invited you to drink?
But he’s grateful.
Jin Lanlan bailed him out,
saved his life,
and he made up his mind
to work for Jin Lanlan.
Qi Ke
isn’t too unpopular.
He has had enough long ago.
And after Qi Ke died,
he needs a backer.
One goes up high.
It’s understandable.
When I first saw him,
I was worried.
I thought he was like Mao.
Hunted down here.
I'm telling you, it's hard to say.
Wang Xi died long ago.
Who knows
Yu Zhenshan came from where.
At this place,
remember,
don't believe what others say easily.
Never take things lightly.
I got it, Tao.
Clean it up.
Ma said
later he will introduce us to
Division Commander Dun.
He is a big shot here.
Division Commander?
There's an army here?
Mercenary.
Kun, you came early today.
Division Commander.
Good morning.
This is the first time I saw this girl.
Division Commander, let me introduce.
Jin Lanlan, Miss Jin.
My new partner.
Miss Jin, please sit down.
Division Commander first.
I've heard a lot about you, Division Commander.
Mr. Gu said
on the Scale and Power of the Army,
in Kangbang and even the whole Golden Triangle,
you are very famous.
Today I’m here,
what I’ve seen
is really impressive.
Thanks to Mr. Gu,
I’m here to pay my respect, Division Commander.
Miss Jin is very young and beautiful.
The way she talks
is just as good as you.
Division Commander, are you praising me?
What do you do, Miss Jin?
I’m doing some arms business
under the help of Mr. Gu.
But not professional.
Division Commander, I feel humble.
You are modest, young girl.
But if you want to do business,
you’ve come to the right place.
We have Division Commander here.
Ba.
Bring the present I prepared for Division Commander.
Division Commander, I heard that you love cigars.
I asked someone
to bring you a box of superior cigar from Cuba.
Please take it.
It’s nice of you, Miss Jin.
Miss Jin, you know cigars, too?
Just a little interest.
Particularly fond of cigars and guns.
Guns?
It's rare for such a young girl
to know about cigars and guns.
Kun, you have a good taste.
Division Commander, are you praising me?
Good aim.
Ma.
Don’t talk much.
Just listen.
What brings you here?
Division Commander.
Ma, Tao.
Kun.
When did you come back, Gu?
Are you doing alright there?
Not bad, thanks to Division Commander.
Yes, let me introduce you.
Miss Jin, a heroine.
Division Commander, no need to introduce.
We are all acquaintances.
The deal between me and Miss Jin
is introduced by Tao.
Oh, right.
Miss Jin.
I didn't know you were that talented.
Division Commander, please don't make fun of me.
My shooting skills are bad.
I'm ashamed of myself.
Don't be modest.
You’re a young and beautiful girl.
And you are skillful, which is rare.
How about this.
If you like shooting, Miss Jin,
you can come to my place often.
I'll find you a good teacher.
If Division Commander don’t mind,
it can’t be better.
This doesn't bother me.
Adjutant Chen.
My guy Adjutant Chen
has the best shooting skills
in my camp.
Division Commander.
Adjutant Chen, here’s your assignment.
Practice gun with Miss Jin.
If you do well, I’ll reward you.
Yes.
What's your plan?
I should
I should go back to my original company.
You know,
Judging from my situation now.
It should be arranged this way.
But it's fine.
I like a stable life.
Adjutant Chen hasn’t been here long.
But his marksmanship
is the best here.
Congratulations, Division Commander.
Mr. Gu.
You see,
Division Commander is so nice to me.
Division Commander.
If you don't mind a little girl like me
all by myself,
I'd like you to be my godfather.
Great.
I can't ask for more.
Division Commander, this is a great pleasure.
You'll have to treat us all.
Yes, of course.
Let’s go inside and talk.
After you, Division Commander.
Division Commander.
Mr. Du is here.
Now that Mr. Du arrives.
Everyone’s here today.
Then let’s have a meal here.
We get together and have fun.
I don't know if Division Commander
has something good to announce?
I'll tell you.
I have a foster daughter today.
Here, here.
I'd like to introduce.
This is Mr. Du, Uncle Du.
One third of the white powder in the golden triangle
belongs to him.
He’s a veteran.
Division Commander, you’re flattering me.
I’m too old,
unlike young people
who are so bold.
I need you guys’ help.
We should all help each other.
I heard recently
there are some incidents in China.
You've just come from there.
I believe
you know what's going on.
So, I mean
let's lay low.
As for business in the Golden Triangle,
we can do it for a while.
That's true.
Division Commander, you're right.
Since China is not so peaceful,
Uncle Du and Mr. Ma need to be careful
with your business.
My army
has always been in Kangbang.
There was nothing wrong with everyone.
I want to show more support to all of you.
I've recruited a lot of people.
It costs a lot every day.
Even so,
I want to make sure that everyone is safe.
I’m taking advantage of my age,
ever since the Division Commander got here,
In this area
we can continue with our business,
all thanks to the Division Commander.
Otherwise,
the people on the other side of the mountain
will bully us.
I’m thinking
from the next month,
I'll add another 10 percent
on the peace fee.
Do you have any suggestions?
Du,
you are the most well-respected.
What’s your opinion?
My business is no better than munitions.
The competition in the Golden Triangle is very fierce.
It’s been hard.
If we don't ship to China,
basically, there's no business to do.
There are dozens of brothers
waiting to be fed.
So hard.
I hope Division Commander can understand.
Uncle Du.
I don’t like what you said.
What do you mean by
you can't compare it with the arms business?
Everyone here knows
only you, Uncle Du,
and Mr. Ma have the biggest business.
How can you compare with
my humble business?
Gu Kun.
Your small business.
You either take risks or not do it at all.
I have nothing left.
How about
I ask my brothers
to work at your place for a few days.
You pay them.
Uncle Du,
if you give up the old business
to live a zen life,
I'll take in
all of your brothers.
Division Commander, the food is ready.
I hate people who don’t follow the rules.
We are just talking about things.
Don't be at arm's length.
Harmony makes a fortune.
Ma.
What do you say
about my proposal?
I agree with you, Division Commander.
That’s the spirit, Ma.
Adjutant Chen, cleaned it up.
Ma, let’s go for lunch.
Let's go, Uncle Du.
Let’s go, Lanlan.
How do you feel today.
This should be
what they called the Red Gate Banquet.
Tao.
Division Commander Dun.
Is he the local tyrant here?
Not quite.
A bit like bandit.
When he was young,
he was quite powerful.
But the mercenary team here
was having serious fight.
He is a man of great intellect.
At the good timing,
he went back to Kangbang.
Now anyone who does business here
has to give him a share of money.
To put it bluntly,
he’s clearly collecting protection fee.
Otherwise, what do you think
his team is doing?
I see it.
He said he wanted to discuss with you.
But he was actually asking for money.
Such an evil man.
Can’t mess with him.
A gentle general can’t raise good soldiers.
Since ancient times,
it’s never easy to deals with them.
Tao.
So Ma agrees with it?
We just follow suit.
Being the first to stand out is hard here.
I think Gu Kun and Du Shandi
don’t get along well.
But I heard
one of them deals with guns,
one sells powder.
There doesn't seem to be much conflict of interest.
Both of them are very scheming.
I guess today,
they were just putting on a show.
10% of money.
It’s a robbery.
Uncle Du,
it seems that the money has to be added.
Yes, it is.
Too bad.
The Division Commander.
has his appetite growing.
I heard
you went to see Ma Sijie the other day.
How’s it going with him?
What on earth did you hear?
There is nothing
I can hide from Uncle Du.
Do you know?
Gu Tao started new products in Canglan.
It is said that it begins to take shape.
But
I mentioned it to him yesterday.
He didn't say a word.
So I guess
Ma Sijie paused half of the plantation
has something to do with it.
They are on the same boat again.
Ma Sijie,
we haven't figured it out yet.
How come there are new troubles?
The two of them have been on good terms.
Since Gu Tao came back,
I think
the new products
is their top priority.
We must figure it out.
Because it has something to do with our business.
Don’t worry, Uncle Du.
I'll urge my guys to do it.
That's for the best.
We've got to pull together.
That's for sure.
I’m at your service.
Adjutant Chen.
Here’s your assignment.
Practice gun with Miss Jin.
If you do well, I’ll reward you.
