[bunniefuu]

(Xingtun Quarter 2)

Biao.

Gong Biao?

Are you in?

(Hualin Taxi)

See you, Hao.

Bye.

Drive safe.

Back it slowly.

See you.

Hey, Liru.

Hi.

What brings you here?

Did Biao go out?

He didn't answer my calls.

Aren't you two driving in turns?

If you don't know where he is,
how could I?

Did you check that drugstore?

I heard you two fought.

You see,

I shouldn't have stepped in,
but I know Biao.

He's a good man in general.

Couples bicker all the time.

Look, you've stepped in
from the very beginning.

Without you, we wouldn't have met,
let alone married.

Marriage is about two people

building a life together
and living it on their own.

Don't you agree?

Is there anything else?

Uh, no.

Well, please tell him
that I need to see him.

Sure.

Hey, would you like to come upstairs?

Oh, no, no, thanks.

I'll see you around.

If he's busy, just call me.

Got it.

Alright. Come on.

Look at you addicts,
playing cards so early.

Business is slow at this time anyway.

We could use some fun.

Have you seen Biao?

No.

I saw him earlier.

Where was he?

Banging it at the arcade.

Banging on what?

Let's see the card!

You can't beat me!

Come on!

Lost a couple of rounds last night.

It's about time.

Biao, why didn't you answer my calls?

How did you find me?

Seriously?

Now isn't the time to play.

Stop lecturing me.

I'm earning points.

See? They're almost enough.

I'm this close to winning the money
for Liru's beauty salon.

Such high stakes?

What's going on?

Move!

Come on!

I got it.

Hey, I'm cashing in.

That's a lot of money.

I got lucky today.

Skip this machine.

I drained it.

Use another one.

Come on, pay up!

Hurry!

Coming.

Don't move!

Don't move, all of you!

Get down!

I haven't got my money.

Stop, you two!

Where are you going?

He played, not me.

I simply watched.

Shut up and get down.

We'll find out
when we get back to the station.

Get down!

Sir...

Who's moving over there?

Sir...

Don't move!

Don't move!

Sir!

What?

All for nothing.

Sir!

They didn't even let me speak.

My legs are numb.

Are you a dragon?

Yeah.

Why?

Once we get out,
let's go to the fortuneteller.

You must be a jinx.

I was doing great and about to win,
then you waltzed in and ruined everything.

I thought you're a jinx.

If you hadn't gambled,

I wouldn't have been here.

I did it for Xuelu...

What are you guys doing?

Hey, you, go over there.

Let's switch places.

The police officer says so.

Get down!

Did I ask you to stand up?

I did it for Xuelu.

Huang Liru keeps all our money.

She won't give me any.

And ICU costs eight grand per day.

What could I do?

I said I'll take care of it.

With what?

I paid the deposit last night.

Why didn't you tell me?

Why didn't you pick up your phone?

What are you looking at?

You seem familiar.

Because I'm your dad?

Wang Li, come here.

Some attitude you got!

Are you from Guangdong?

Fleeing hither and thither
all the way here?

Qiao.

Go with him.

Fix him!

Wang Xiang, come here.

Gong Biao.

Sir.

You too.

I've reviewed your statements.

Wang Xiang is free to go.

Gong Biao, you'll be fined
for your minor offense, and...

you won't be detained.

But no more gambling.

Yes, sir.

Sign it.

You can go once the paperwork is done.

Alright. You may leave.

Yes, sir.

Dad.

Oh, you don't need to come.

What did you do?

Why did they arrest you?

We weren't arrested.

They needed us for their investigation.

What on earth happened?

I'm worried sick!

He went there to find me
and got dragged in as a looker-on.

He was one even when he was young.

Clearly, you haven't changed a bit.

Enough. Let's talk outside.

I need air.

What's wrong with your leg?

It's numb after hours of sitting.

Hey, Bei,
good luck with your exam in Beijing.

Don't be like your old man
driving trains and then cars.

He's been behind the wheel all his life.

Uncle Biao, didn't you also go to college?

I'm not a good example.

I'm unappreciated,
and your dad is making things worse.

Look at you.

Hold my arm.

I'm fine.

The veins in your lower limbs are
still blocked.

I guess. I'll be fine.

Hey, Bei, go get a cab for Qiaoyun.

OK.

Let's go back together.

Go to my place.

I'll give you a massage.

My car is still over there.

I need to get it back.

I'll go to your shop later.

Just go.

Are you sure you're OK?

Go.

Aunt Qiaoyun!

I'm going back.

Go ahead.

See you at the shop.

See you later.

I'm leaving, too.

Haven't slept for two days.

Hold on.

Come here.

What now?

Come.

I feel like an owl.

Where did you get it?

Near the substation,
less than five meters.

What are you thinking?

Are you saying what happened
to Xuelu isn't an accident?

What do you think?

Accident or not, we don't know yet.

But if we don't get to the bottom of it,
you won't have your car back, right?

Without your car,
what are you gonna tell Liru?

More importantly,
what are we gonna tell Xuelu?

All I hear is words.

What's your point?

To dig deeper?

This series of incidents began
with that fake-licensed car, right?

In that case, we should start from there.

Anyway, it's your call.

If I'm doing it,
it's not for you or the car.

I'm doing it for Xuelu.

Whatever works.

But we can't do it alone.

We need someone's help.

Who is it?

(To Dance, To Live, To Love)

Desheng.

Desheng, Desheng, Desheng!

I could've done better.

You know I'm good.

We did three turns, down by a half.

Li failed to keep up.

Are you alright?

Desheng,

I like your dance moves and your look.

Have you seen The Godfather?

Italian movie, starring Marlon Delansheng.
[*He said the actor's name wrong.]

You two will be able to compete
at the city level.

We can all do better.

You two did well, too,
but your moves need more power.

I mean...

No power, no charm.

Gather round, everyone.

And be more passionate.

We're gonna select those

- to compete at the city level.
- You need more practice.

We've had a discussion
and made the decision.

Those who will compete

at the city level for our U3A
[*U3A=University of the Third Age]

are Sun Wancheng and Zhou Xiaoyan.

Quit it!

You chose them based on what?

Why those two?

Clearly, our routine is more difficult.

And we've got better looks.

Look, your moves are fine,
but Latin is also about coordination.

You and your partner failed to dance
as a team.

What do you mean?

So they're better than us?

They even missed the beats.

Everyone saw it, right?

The last few moves...

They were slow!

Calm down, Desheng.

It's OK. You can go.

It's not about that.

Go away.

This isn't about the dance moves...

Don't change the subject.

It's no secret that his daughter bought
you guys two speakers.

It's rigged, isn't it?

Did you take bribes?

Alright, enough.

I won't argue with you.

Dismissed, everyone.

You can't keep my mouth shut!

Playing dirty tricks in such a sanctuary?

I quit.

As long as I'm committed,

I can dance anywhere.

Captain Ma.

We've been watching you dance.

Do you recognize me?

Wang Xiang?

What brings you here?

It's been a while, and you're
as charming as always.

Swill!

Dump your swill!

(Xu's Cold Noodles)

You're late.

I made it.

What took you so long?

Hurry.

What's the rush?

I'm working around the clock.

Do you feel cold?

I'm OK.

When you're done, take a break inside.

Maybe later.

It's stuck.

I'll remove the clog.

What is it?

Be careful!

Look!

Look at it!

Who'd dump that in?

Of course it'd stuck.

Goodness!

Shame on you!

What an animal!

(Lard's Stewed Bones)
You're sick!

You got jealous of our business
and meant to sabotage it!

You pig!

You'll be doomed!

Don't let me catch you, or I'll go to
your place and flood it with poop!

There's more.

How evil!

That guy is a monster!

This is a bag of evidence.

Hey, Gui.

What?

Take a look.

What's wrong?

Is... is that a foot?

Are you Ms. Xu?

Did you find it?

I didn't do it, not me.

I didn't say you did it.

Not me, either.

They freaked out.

Too scared to say anything.

So you two...

Nothing.

We're just friends.

Where's, uh, Cui Guodong?

I just saw him outside.

I don't care about your relationship.

I'm asking about this case.

I don't know.

I don't know anything.

Captain Ma!

Where are you?

Right here.

Look up.

(Xu's Cold Noodles)
What are you doing up there?

See for yourself.

Here.

Is the roof strong enough for you?

Don't worry.

Have you had breakfast?

Not yet.

Look over there.

The Thermal Power Plant has regrouped
long ago.

They've got severance pay
and professional training.

What are you talking about?

We're worried about the layoffs
given our factory's current situation.

Other factories are doing well,
but why not ours?

Hey, it's lunchtime.

Chitchat won't fill your stomach.

Don't you know there's a layoff list?

For those on it, there will be
seniority buy-outs.

No severance pay.

So that's only thousands of yuan.

Thousands?

Tens of thousands won't cover
the rest of my life.

I don't need a few coins
as a handout jingling in my pocket.

I know, right?

But, hey, Mr. Wang,
you have nothing to worry about.

They'll lay off anyone but you.

Mr. Wang, they found
another bag of remains

at the cold noodles shop in the back.

You know that?

I was there just now.

Ms. Xu looked overwhelmed.

Were the police at the scene?

They didn't tell you this time?

They know I'm a busy man.

If you ask me, we can set up a BBQ stall.

The cost is minimum.

We can find a place and do it.

Eat without me.

I'm going out.

Where are you going?

The food will get cold.

We've run out of oil.

I'll go get some.

Dad, what did they find?

None of your business.

Go home.

More remains?

That's not your concern.

Go back.

The dump site is right outside.

I want your Security Section
to keep a close watch.

If anything happens here, if you see
anyone suspicious, do let me know.

Of course.

You know,

The Security Section of Hualin Steel
has established a good reputation

among management and workers.

Where's the spare tire?

Where did it go?

Did you earn your reputation like this?

Well...

Are you out of your mind?

How dare you
steal from the police in broad daylight!

Do you know what Captain Ma does?

Captain Ma is
the best detective in the bureau.

Give it back before you get caught.

Alright.

The spare tire can wait.

Let's go back to the office.

Captain Ma!

Give me two minutes.

Just two minutes.

You can't find it with words.

Alright, your turn.

Let's see it.

Good. Well done.

Score every point.

Give it back.

What do you mean?

Do you prefer prison meals
to homemade food?

No one in the neighborhood would even go
near the police car except for you.

You're wrong about me, Uncle Wang.

Your dad was in charge of
all the parts in the factory.

He wouldn't even take a screw cap.

What happened to you?

Don't bring him up.

He worked diligently his entire life,
but what did he get?

I couldn't even take his spot.

So you stole from others?

The police are right outside.

I didn't take them here
for the sake of your old man.

Where's the tire?

Excuse me.

Watch out! Watch out!

Yeah, here's the tire.

A few kids removed the screws
and took the tire.

Is anything missing?

Go home.

Thanks.

Do you think you outsmart everyone?

Who are you covering for?

Do I look like a fool?

Listen, young man, I...

Wang Xiang, right?

Look, your captain knows me.

Put the tire back on.

He's got quite a temper.

Section Chief Xing is here, so I'll leave
such petty theft to your own people.

Now that the tire is back,

I'll let it go.

Captain Ma, you have my word.

We'll round up the wrongdoers
and deal with them strictly.

I remember you.

Also, come to my office when you're free.

I have a few more questions to ask.

I'm free now, so here I am.

Then let's go.

Sure.

Young man, hey, load my bike, please.

Load your bike into the police car?

It doesn't fit.

What are you doing?

You're making our factory look bad!

No one here wants your trash.

Well,
we don't know about the outsiders.

I'll take care of it.

(The police should serve the people.)

I'm going to the ME's Office.

Meet me in the conference room
on the 2nd floor.

Got it.

Still enjoying it?

Maybe another ride?

Officer Cui,

I was thinking that I've sat
behind the wheel for so long,

but this is the first time

I've sat in a police car.

Whether I can get back at the wheel
or not depends on you guys.

What are you mumbling about?

Get out.

OK.

(The police should serve the people.)

Stop!

Don't move! Come back!

What happened?

How dare you escape from the police!

Are you nuts?

What happened?

What's going on?

He said he was going number two
and asked me to uncuff him.

What did he do?

Patrols caught him stealing purses
at the North Station.

Are you even old enough to drink?

Are you in a g*ng?

I'm not!

I... I don't know anything!

Zip it!

Get up!

Cuff him!

Give me a hand!

You can't escape from an engine driver!

Got you!

Yeah.

Officer Cui?

I'm here.

I got you.

Mr. Wang, you shouldn't have been here.

I'm fine.

I heard someone needed a hand.

Let me see how bad it is.

It's... it's fine.

Let me check.

I'm OK...

Is it bad?

I'm good.

Cover your nose.

Come on!

OK.

Which way?

This way, this way.

I got you.

Thanks.

Captain Ma.

Not bad at all.

You were swift.

Captain Ma...

Sorry.

Captain Ma, don't forget what I do.

I drive trains.

I've seen all sorts of things
within a short distance,

such as suicide, vandalism, and theft.

Drivers like me are trained to be
observant and thorough, bold and calm.

What did that kid do?

Petty theft.

He's been caught more than once,
but he's unable to change.

What about his parents?

Don't have any.

He grew up in an orphanage.

Poor kid.

Kids like him can go the wrong way easily
without proper guidance.

Including that tire thief?

Well, nothing gets past you.

Look, the truth is

our factory hasn't recruited anyone
for years.

Those kids have nothing else to do
other than make trouble.

You know why I asked you to come?

Those two bags of remains were found
in your neighborhood.

I'm afraid the k*ller and the victim
may be tied to your factory.

You're a senior there.

You know better than others.

I need your help.

You got it.

Anytime, sir.

Captain Ma!

Here!

Director Zhu is calling for a meeting.

Take off your jacket.

I... I...

This is too kind of you.

I've got a spare.

Wait here.

I...

We'll discuss more details later.

I... I don't need to go to the meeting?

It's private.

I'm not looped in yet.

(ME's Office)

I learned about this new technique
to quickly identify the victims.

Yep. DAN.

What's DAN?

It's DNA.

You fool.

Then do it.

The bureau doesn't have it yet.

It's not widely available.

I thought you got it, showoff!

Like you're an expert or something.

Do you think identification is
still possible given the dismemberment?

We found something unique on the remains.

What is it?

Normally, we only have
three finger creases,

but we found
one piece of the finger with four.

So fingers crossed, huh?

Who are you?

A magician?

What's a watchdog's salary?

Are you looking for trouble?

No, sir.

I'm looking for Mr. Ge.

Qu Bo sent me.

Second floor.

1, 3, 7...

So you know Qu Bo?

That cousin of mine
never stops troubling me.

What can you do?

What can you offer?

Listen to you!

Any decent jobs here are
beyond your ability.

How about a waiter?

A waiter?

How much can I make?

400 per month without tips.

However much they tip you is all yours.

Not too bad. I'll think about it.

You need to think about it, huh?

Fine, do it outside.

I've got clients coming.

Hey, by the way, tell Qu Bo to study hard.

Don't make bad friends.

Play something else.

Hey, you!

What would you like, sir?

That one,

The Love of a Boat Tracker.

The Love of a Boat Tracker...

OK.

It requires quickstep.

So follow my lead.

Ready?

Play it.

Sorry, but that's not for the piano.

You can choose one from these, sir.

I can play all of them.

So they're all pieces of music, yeah?

Yes, sir.

Isn't my song also music?

Yes, sir.

So why can't you do it?

Like I said, sir,
that's not for the piano.

Is everything OK, Hai?

I thought you'd be in the box.

Go away!

What now?

I came here
and paid for your services, right?

Just ignore her.

Come on.

Let's drink in the box,

OK? Come on.

I need no drinks.

Listen,

I won't leave until I hear

The Love of a Boat Tracker
that you played!

Sure, of course.

No problem.

The Love of a Boat Tracker goes
like this...

Play it now.

I really can't.

Who do you think you are?

Playing hard to get?

You can't do it?

Fine.

How about 200 yuan?

500?

Please...

What about now?

Do it.

I can't.

Don't...

Please...

Calm down.

It's not worth it.

She doesn't deserve your money.

If you don't discipline her,

I will!

What's that attitude?

Calm down, please!

How about this?

A free box plus 20 percent off,
and beer, free beer, too.

Come with me.

I'll sing
The Love of a Boat Tracker for you.

I'll do better than Andy Lau.
[*A top singer in China and Asia.]

Come on.

This isn't over...

Pick up the cash and give it back.

Yeah, yeah.

Go away. Get out of here.

Take Hai upstairs.

Thank you.

Was it Clair de Lune that you played?

I've heard it.

Claude Debussy's work.

Actually, we met
when you first arrived at school.

I forgot to introduce myself then.

My name is Wang Yang
as "Yang" means the sun.

♪Love so deep, towlines swing♪

Are you blind?

What were you doing?

Sorry, sir.

My bad.

I couldn't stop it.

You hit my car!

Look what you've done!

I'm really sorry.

Cigarette?

Cut it out!

Hey, what's that look?

Is this funny to you?

Please... calm down.

Don't be... so mad.

We can... talk nicely.

I won't be nice!

No, I won't!

What can you do?

Well, I've...

warned you, haven't I?

Look at you!

What's this?

An ambush?

You know what I like the most?

The more, the merrier!

Bring it on!

Come on!

(Why waste time on him?)

(I was only teasing.)

Hey, are you with him, a mute?

Look,

I don't have all day for you,
so I'll let this side.

Teeth got knocked out?

You deserve it!

One, two!

One, two!

One, two!

Come on, it's raining.

Let's go.

Come on!

Halt, all of you!

Did I say you can go?

Stand still!

Don't move if it's raining cats and dogs!

Parade step!

One, two!

One, two!

Excuse me.

Sorry, sorry.

Coming through, sorry.

Excuse me.

One, two!

Silence!

Hey, you, which class are you in?

I'm not a student.

If not, what are you doing here?

Get out!

Sorry, sir,

I'm not your soldier,
so I won't follow your order.

Excuse me?

What are you doing? Just go.

I will when the rain stops.

Call security.

Yes, sir!

(Letter of Apology)

That's quick.

This isn't my first time.

Sign here.

Close the door for me.

Yes, sir.

So what if your school teaches medicine?

Our factory makes steel!

Karma is real.

Hai got beaten up.

He even lost a few teeth.

I wonder who did that.

They were rough.

Revenge got served almost immediately.

Even punks are afraid of th*gs.

And he got lucky.

Had it been me,

I would've whacked him so bad that
he wouldn't be able to move for days.

Is that why you came to see me?

I thought that news would cheer you up.

It wouldn't.

I don't care what happened to him.

I almost forgot
before you brought him up.

He was so mean.

How could you forget?

You've got a big heart.

Good for you.

I don't wanna t*rture myself,
so I won't keep a tab on the bad things.

So...

am I a good thing or a bad thing?

You could use a smile.

I only worked in that club
to pay for my study.

Thanks for helping me that day, but please

don't come to see me at school again.

And when you're not at school?

I'll take that as a yes.

Oh, hi.

I'm grabbing a crate of beer.

What's taking you so long?

Hurry up!
