Never Say Never
Episode 7
Here are your things.
Don’t come to me
if anything is missing.
Qi Xia packed them up.
Thanks, Brother Liu.
Come over here.
Practice with me.
Is it okay?
Are you afraid that I’ll harm you?
Okay, I'll do it then.
Fight back!
Play seriously, will you?
Brother Tao.
He’s good.
Brother Tao.
Qi Ke called and said that
he would treat you to a meal tomorrow.
What's the meaning of this?
He either wants to
do business with me,
or wants to kill me.
Will he do business with you?
His drugs are from Vietnam.
Ours are from the Golden Triangle.
It doesn’t make sense.
Now everyone knows that
only my goods
can enter and leave Canglan freely.
His business must have been bad recently.
If he wants to continue making money,
he has to cooperate with me.
Could it be a trick?
I’m afraid of nothing since I have you.
Brother Tao, are we really going?
Fang Mo will go with us.
Let Ma Liu stay and look after the casino.
Let's meet him.
Okay.
Tell Ma Liu to buy some nice clothes
for Fang Mo when they have time.
Brother Liu.
What’s it?
Brother Tao practices boxing
so early every morning?
Right!
Successful people like us
usually follow a regular schedule.
Brother Liu.
Are there any stores
around here?
I want to buy some toiletries.
Go through this door,
walk around 500m
towards south,
and there’s one.
Okay. Enjoy the food.
Mo. Mo. Mo.
Throw this away for me.
Throw it away.
Take it.
Go.
Where have you been recently?
Someone came
and packed your things yesterday.
What did they say?
They asked when you got here,
and what you did every day
after you got here.
What’s wrong?
Nothing.
It's likely that
I’ll be away for some time.
Take care of yourself.
I will come visit you now and then.
Take the money.
If those guys
come to collect debts again,
tell them to come to me.
Don’t worry!
I’ll come visit you when I have time.
Protect yourself.
Commissioner Han,
I’ve come into contact with Gu Tao
and moved into his villa.
It is fast.
Well Done!
Gu Tao is eccentric
and very unpredictable.
Is it hard?
I can deal with him for now.
Your safety comes first.
Let me know
if you need any help.
I understand.
Boss, they’re here.
Tao!
It’s been a while.
Likewise.
Tao,
I’ve always wanted to eat with you
since you came to Canglan.
But I’ve been up to my neck
with work,
so it took so long.
Don’t find fault with me.
You’re too polite. We were both busy.
Right.
Take a seat.
This young man looks sharp.
I’ve never seen him.
He is new here?
I just started to work for Brother Tao.
But I’ve met this guy several times.
Tao,
you’re really good at
finding talents.
First Qi Xia,
then this sharp young man.
You’re going from strength to strength.
Not like me.
I only have Ba.
He pisses me off every day.
Mr. Qi, you're so funny.
It’s public knowledge in Southeast Asia
that your business is doing pretty well.
It’s not like before.
Now the anti-drug officers
would check all my goods.
Most of them have been confiscated.
It has troubled me a lot.
Not like you,
you haven’t met a problem at all.
So today,
I want to seek some advice from you.
What can I help you?
Everybody knows that
only your goods
can enter and leave Canglan freely.
The entire Canglan
is like your backyard.
I’m thinking that
when you transport your goods,
can you also
bring along my goods?
So it can benefit
both of us.
In what way?
How about this?
You can keep
20% of the profit.
How about 30%?
Then tell me how much you want.
50%.
Isn’t that too...?
Your business is big.
It doesn’t matter
if we make or break this deal.
But I don’t want this
to affect our relationship.
Think about it.
I’m busy. I’ve got to go.
We haven’t eaten at all.
Enjoy yourself, Mr. Qi.
Sit down.
You said you had met Ba?
I rented a house before.
The landlord is a drug addict.
Ba went to collect debts one time,
and I was there.
To protect the landlord’s son,
I had a fight with him.
Brother Tao, will this affect you?
It won’t.
But you just came to Canglan.
That was a bit reckless.
I understand, Brother Tao.
Brother Tao.
What’s great about Qi Ke?
I can send him to meet Wang Xi.
What’s the big deal?
Killing can’t solve everything.
I’ve told you many times that
we are businessmen.
Qi Ke is nothing.
You can kill him
like killing an ant.
But have you thought about
why I want to keep him alive?
Why did we kill Wang Xi?
First,
he bullied us
when we just came here.
We were too weak
to fight with him back then.
But I always wanted to seek revenge.
Second,
he got in our way.
We could only secure those orders
by getting rid of him.
We did set a trap,
but he jumped into it by himself.
If he hadn’t tried to kill me,
I wouldn’t have killed him.
So he can’t
blame me for this.
But Qi Ke is different.
His business
doesn't get in our way.
And he is weaker than us.
Killing him is too easy.
But thinking about this,
if we killed him,
we’d have a monopoly
on the business in Canglan.
We’d become an easy target
of the government.
Focus on big orders,
and let this guy be our scapegoat.
It’s good.
How thoughtful of you!
Then
why didn’t you agree today?
I’m not gonna help him so easily.
He can still make money out of the 50%.
My route doesn’t come for free.
I won’t
just let him use it easily.
Everybody knows that
only your goods
can enter and leave Canglan freely.
Gu Tao is so arrogant.
50%?
Why didn't he ask me to beg?
Boss.
Gu Tao is too greedy.
You even degraded yourself.
But he didn’t buy it.
He thinks we are afraid of him?
When did I degrade myself?
That was a tactic.
What do you know?
Gu Tao
wants to put an end to us.
Let’s fight with him.
Fighting
is all that you know?
It’s fine you can’t
deal with Qi Xia.
I asked you to rope that brat in,
but he became Gu Tao’s man.
Yet you still want to fight!
Can you stop making trouble for me?
What should we do then?
Ever bought such pricey clothes?
You should visit here more often,
and learn how to dress
from me.
For example,
how to tuck your pants into your socks.
Learn little by little.
There’s one thing you must know.
Follow the right people.
Who is nice to you?
Who bought clothes for you?
Me, right?
You should be able to tell that
Brother Tao thinks very highly of me.
Although Qi Xia
goes out with Brother Tao every day,
it doesn’t help.
Otherwise,
why I’m in charge of the casino?
And you!
It was I who recommended you to Brother Tao.
Thank you, Brother Liu.
One more piece of advice.
Don’t think
you can have your way in Canglan
just because you can fight.
You know what is the most important thing?
It’s the brain.
Thanks for your advice.
I don’t know much about Canglan.
Please tell me more about it.
How about this?
I'll buy you drinks.
What did I say?
You're indeed smart.
I’ll take you to a good place.
Okay.
Hello, Brother Liu.
Brother Liu. Brother Liu.
What do you want to drink?
The Hennessy I stored here.
Take it out!
Okay, Brother Liu.
Hi, Miss Jin.
You’ve become more beautiful.
You’re a rich man.
My bar is too shabby for you.
Rich? I just run a casino.
So you’ve been promoted?
No, no, no.
Who is this handsome guy?
He's new.
His name is Fang Mo.
This is Miss Jin.
Say hello.
Hello, Miss Jin.
Fang Mo, come here often when you’re free.
Get a bottle of good wine for Brother Liu.
It’s on me.
You treat again.
Thank you.
I’ll say hello to my friends.
Beautiful, right?
Brother Liu.
She’s so young,
but she runs such a big bar.
You think that’s possible?
Let me tell you.
She has a powerful godmother.
So she gets to run this bar.
All she needs to do every day
is to walk around this place.
What a fascinating life!
Many guests come for her.
And most of the guests
have a powerful background.
So she knows Canglan
like the back of her hand.
She knows everything.
That means,
this woman is not simple.
I’ve learnt a lot.
Brother Liu, the drinks should be on me.
Mo.
Work hard for me.
I’ll take you wherever I go.
You will find that
I am a book.
You need to read me carefully.
There’s a lot for you to learn.
Enjoy yourself.
I’ll go have some fun.
Okay.
Sister Lanlan,
I want to book the bar for my birthday party.
Please help me with that.
Leave that to me. Don't worry.
Thank you, Sister Lanlan.
Sister Lanlan,
Sister Guihua
wants you to meet her.
I'm off. Bye bye.
Bye bye.
You got me
into this trouble!
I asked you to serve Long Lei.
But you didn’t!
Now I’ve lost contact with him.
Those people are still waiting for my goods.
I’ve been doing
arms business for many years,
but have never run out of stock.
You’ve disgraced me a lot!
Tell me, what should I do?
Godmother,
I really haven’t got any information
about Long Lei.
How dare you talk back!
If you had stuck to him,
we would’ve known everything.
You even can’t serve a man.
How useless you are!
You think I opened the bar
to let you amuse yourself?
You couldn’t collect any information.
Don’t think you’re great
because they take you as a boss.
Don't forget that
the bar is mine.
I haven’t forgotten that.
Anyway,
if this order went south,
I would kill you.
Do whatever it takes
to get things to work.
Yes.
Easy!
Don't get angry.
It's bad for your health.
Here! Here!
Sit down.
Eat an apple.
You! You!
Look what you’ve done!
You pissed your godmother off!
You didn’t work hard at all.
You couldn’t handle
such a minor thing.
Listen...
I’m speechless!
Don't get angry.
Actually, I think
I also can look after the bar.
Get lost! Don’t make trouble for me.
But...
Get lost. You make me sick!
Get lost!
Didn’t you see that? She stared at me!
She needs a lesson!
Don't be angry.
Hello, it’s me.
Is this number
safe?
Gu Tao is very cautious.
I’ll try to use payphones to call you
in the future.
Okay.
I’ve been going out with Gu Tao
and have learnt something about here.
I’ve met Qi Ke and Jin Lanlan.
Good.
He took you out,
which means he likes you.
Take it slow.
Think of ways to gain his trust
before taking further action.
Brother Tao.
Fang Mo.
Where did you go?
I’m not familiar with this place,
so I went out to check the surroundings.
Who did you call at the store?
Brother Tao, you sent people to stalk me?
Just tell me who you called.
The signal of my phone was not good.
I couldn't make a call.
What’s wrong with making a call?
I’ll ask you one more time.
Who did you call?!
I just wanted to hook up with a girl.
Just that?
Let me know if you need girls.
Brother Tao, if you’re done,
I’ll go upstairs.
Okay, bye.
Here. For the call.
Okay.
Brother Tao, it’s been several days.
How is my pay?
You want it now?
I’m short of money.
Come with me.
Thank you, Brother Tao.
Where’s your old phone?
It’s in my pocket.
Put it on the table.
I got a new one for you.
The new number is also easy to remember.
So I can always reach you.
Okay.
Then Brother Tao,
please help me dispose of the old one.
I’ll go downstairs then.
I’ll make a call.
Hello, it’s me.
My phone was taken away.
He’s suspecting you?
He sent people to stalk me.
But things are good for now.
I’ll let you know if anything happens.
Hello, Golden Peacock Bath.
Sorry, I've dialed the wrong number.
Thanks.
Lanlan.
Take a look. Is it beautiful?
Beautiful.
It makes you even more charming.
Stupid girl,
these are for you.
But why do you
give me this suddenly?
I was not myself last time.
You won’t blame me, will you?
I know that you always love me.
That’s good. That’s good.
When I was young,
I didn’t have too many options.
Living in such a place,
I had to support myself.
But you're different.
I’ve always
wanted you to
marry into a good family.
I’ve introduced many boys to you,
but why did you reject all of them?
I want to take care of you for another few years.
I don't need that.
By the way,
that Long Lei
Is really giving me a hard time.
I heard that
he was punished by the government.
Now he’s nowhere to be found.
I can't let the order
slip through my fingers like that.
This really
troubles me a lot.
Have you got any plan?
Well,
I heard that
Gu Tao also knows arms dealers.
Gu Tao?
But as far as I know,
he never dealt arms.
Probably it won't work.
I just want you to
confirm that for me
and see what you can do.
It doesn’t matter
if it
doesn’t work.
I’ll work out a way
and update you.
You’re so nice to me.
Eat the cake. Eat the cake.
These are for you.
You’re so nice to me.
If this order went south,
I would kill you.
Bending over so much when you need my help.
Or you won’t treat me like a human being at all!
Any news?
Gu Tao does have overseas connections?
Okay, I see.
Sister Lanlan, Mr. Qi is here.
Mr. Qi.
What happened, Mr. Qi?
You’ve been drinking all the time
and haven't talked to me at all.
There must be something
weighing on your mind.
You do know me.
Have you heard that
Wang Xi was killed
by Gu Tao’s men a while ago?
They’ve been constantly checking my goods.
The business is getting harder.
A few days ago,
I asked Gu Tao to have a meal together.
I wanted to cooperate with him.
I never thought that bastard
wanted 50% of the profit.
50%!
I’ve been in this industry for so long.
Even if I’m not like before,
I don’t need to work for him.
Right now,
he’s doing pretty well.
So he’s very cocky.
You chose the wrong time
to negotiate with him.
Since he has killed Wang Xi,
I wonder if he dares to target you.
Target me?
He dares not.
But my men
are not very capable.
As you see,
this guy looks like a moron.
He’s even no match for Qi Xia.
If I fall out with Gu Tao,
he’ll get the best of me.
You don’t have to
do it by yourself if you want to kill him.
Use a borrowed knife.
Why would we
invite trouble to ourselves?
Why would I kill him?
What I want is his route.
But you need to
find a way to get his route.
You have a plan?
I actually
think of a person.
Who?
Lanlan.
Godmother.
Any updates?
Gu Tao is indeed connected
with an overseas arms dealer.
But they only deal drugs,
not arms.
But if you negotiate with him,
maybe you can strike a deal.
We won’t snatch his customers anyway.
It’s just that...
Look at her.
What did I say?
She could come up with nothing.
Shut up.
It's just what?
Gu Tao is so complacent recently.
He despises everyone.
Even Qi Ke was
given a cold-shoulder.
What do you think we should do?
Godmother, why not give them some benefits?
We can exchange businesses with them,
which will benefit both.
Exchange businesses?
