The Knockout (2023) s01e13 Episode Script

Episode 13

[The Knockout]
[Episode 13]
[2021]
Some people wonder
why the work of education and rectification
must initiate a retroactive investigation.
Because
Rome was not built in one day.
Over the past 20 years,
China's economy has developed rapidly.
Some local governments value efficiency
yet neglect fairness.
Therefore, the resulting monopolization of resources
and corruption of power
have caused the people to complain.
In order to truly solve the problem,
we must not just
take stopgap measures.
We need to start from the root
and show the people the determination of the Central Committee of the CPC
to turn the blade inward.
Whether it happened recently
or in the past,
as long as it violates party discipline and state law,
we must investigate it thoroughly
and never tolerate it.
For education and rectification,
retirement is not a get-out-of-jail-free card.
And it's even impossible for corruptionists
to go ashore safely.
Because the people won't agree.
The Party and the country won't agree either.
[2021]
You have to give me some time.
[2006]
I have to call Gao Qiqiang.
Right? Don't take it out on the kid.
Put the knife down.
Uncle Shun died so tragically!
Your father is dead!
Don't listen to their nonsense.
My father is gone! My father is dead!
Qing! Calm down.
Don't listen to them!
Gao Qiqiang's son.
Shoot!
The chief has given the signal.
I'll make him pay for my father's life!
Qing
Pay for my father's life!
Li Qing, you have to avenge your father!
Trust me.
An Xin, shoot!
What are you waiting for?
Tell them to shut up!
Qing.
Pay for my father's life!
Qing.
[Two months ago]
[Li Xiang] [Chief of the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Jinghai Public Security Bureau]
[An Xin] [Sergeant of the first squad of the Criminal Investigation Unit of the Jinghai Public Security Bureau]
Halt.
Turn right.
Pass the target.
Turn left!
Run!
My shooting skills
are getting better.
Five bullets.
Six holes!
Xiang.
You are not off target either, right?
You still wet your bed.
Xin.
Let me see it.
See what?
Just one look.
There is nothing new about it.
I want to see.
Stop it.
Stop it.
You
Don't
Just one look.
Come on, let's learn
from Xin's shooting skills.
Xin.
Very good.
Keep it up.
Please
continue to hit my targets.
Give me extra grades.
But
the Public Security System Competition is coming.
Remember not to shoot
at the targets of other teams.
Tell your master.
Don't drag us down.
Leader An and Director Meng
have been transferred for six years,
but you still don't get along.
Does it hurt?
How about this?
Then you should be fine.
His arm had been injured twice.
[An Changlin, Director of Bobei Public Security Bureau]
Once on a mission,
his arm was fractured.
Another time
he was perforated by the rebar
when he saved someone.
Do you think
there were any after-effects
or some damage to his nerves in this arm?
Does your hand shake
when you hold the chopsticks
or the glass?
Then there should be
nothing wrong with his nerves.
He is just nervous.
We went to every hospital
in the city.
They all said he was fine.
But he is not.
We rushed here
as soon as they recommended you.
How about this?
I'll prescribe
some soothing medicine for you.
Take them for a while.
We'll check again when you're back.
Okay.
Do you get along well
with your colleagues?
Pretty good.
Li Xiang is the chief now, right?
So he takes good care of me.
My arm
is just like this.
It won't affect me in any way.
So you don't have to
come all the way here
from Bobei every time.
I'm not here just to see you.
I'm on a business trip.
Have you read the new report?
Yes.
According to the crime scene of Xu Jiang's death,
if we deduced from it,
the bullet that shot my master
really couldn't have
come from the direction
of Xu Jiang.
That means
there must be someone else in that scene.
The same report.
It has been submitted and changed over and over again.
No matter how you change it,
the result will be the same.
OK.
I'll change it again.
Why bother?
It's been six years.
It's time to move on.
What can I see as I move on?
I'm just a cop
who can't even hit the target.
An Xin.
You're not the only one who got injured.
Some of our comrades
had even lost their lives.
What's there to complain about?
So what if you can't hit a target?
Who said
you can't become a good cop
if you can't hit the target?
Are you underestimating yourself
or
our profession?
Meng Yu called.
She said nothing important.
She just asked
how I was doing in Bobei.
You two
From now on, if I start to
practice shooting with my left hand,
will it be too late?
We just
A big competition is coming.
Do you think you're a genius?
I want to give it a try.
[Platinum Palace]
Leave it to me.
Let me do it.
Move aside.
It dropped.
Get out of the way.
Give me some space.
Hurry up. Move aside.
Hurry up.
Hello, Brother Hu.
Come on.
-Hello, Brother Hu. -Hello, Brother Hu.
Hello, Brother Hu.
You! Drink!
Don't look so glum.
It's my birthday.
Brother Sheng!
Happy birthday! May your business be thriving and prosperous.
Today is the opening day
of your PHS supermarket chain.
From now on,
there will only be my shop in Jinghai.
Let me see.
Who's next? Come up.
Come up.
Brother.
Did you visit your brother?
Yes.
How is your brother?
He's fine inside.
He told you not to worry about him.
Chen Feng of the court.
I've fixed him up.
He's in charge of commuting sentences.
Xiaolong will soon be released.
Thank you, Brother Qiang.
How's the business at the Platinum Palace?
Very good.
All thanks to you.
But
there's one thing.
The manager of the Platinum Palace told me
that Sheng has put
over 600,000 yuan on his tab last month.
It's okay. Let him do it.
Then today's bill
Let him put it on his tab too.
Brother, hurry up.
It's my birthday.
Have a seat.
Make way for my brother.
Have fun.
Sit down.
Brother Hu, you sit here.
Okay, you guys drink.
Sit.
Brother, let me say something.
This is Platinum Palace.
This place
didn't belong to our Gao family before.
When it was built,
someone was studying,
someone was selling fish,
and someone was in the market.
But this place
is Gao's now.
In Jinghai,
whatever the Gao family lays eyes on
will belong to the Gao family sooner or later.
Yes.
Let's raise our glasses and drink a toast to my brother,
Gao Qiqiang.
Brother Qiang.
Thank you for coming
to my brother's birthday.
Sheng, I wish you
a successful business.
Thank you, brother.
Sister-in-law.
Why are you here?
Why not? Am I not a member of the Gao family?
Yes.
I can't come?
You can. You can.
Sheng.
Come.
I'm late.
Happy birthday.
Thank you.
Wine.
Here's to you.
Why are you here?
Doesn't Xiaochen have a piano lesson?
I've already put him to bed.
You don't know what time it is now?
Why? You don't welcome me here?
I asked you about Sheng's birthday.
You said you wouldn't come.
Then you can just sit here.
You fool!
Why didn't you tell us she was here?
Usher her in without telling me!
Her aura.
Who dares?
I have no choice.
I told you, you don't have to send me home.
I come, yet others are leaving.
Sheng and the others will be unhappy.
They will think I'm a buzzkill.
It's fine.
Tired?
A little.
I've been too tired these days.
I told you many times
to hire a driver,
but you wouldn't listen.
Why waste money? I can drive.
It's not about money.
You're the general manager of the group now.
This is about your status.
Right.
My status is different now.
I'm different now.
I have a beautiful wife
and a good son.
I have to cherish my life.
Not bad, Gao.
You've come to a new level.
You taught me well.
Actually, I'm not being stingy.
I just don't think it's convenient
to talk in a driver's presence.
If you're worried about that,
why don't you
just pick one
of your old brothers?
Those people
used to follow me
when I was in the Old Factory Street.
Now that I've made something,
I feel awkward
asking them to be my chauffeur.
Human.
One's job
depends on how capable he is.
Maybe
they would love to drive for you.
At most,
we can give him more money.
Won't we all be happy?
We'll discuss it later.
If you don't,
I'll find one for you.
We'll talk about it later.
By the way,
Daddy
wants you to see him tomorrow.
What for?
It sounds to me like
he seems unhappy.
Anyway, when you come to him tomorrow,
just coax him.
Watch your mouth.
Although
you are in charge of the group,
the people are still his people.
Don't worry. I know what to do.
Dad.
Today's weather is so nice.
Let's go fishing.
I'll get you two tall Arhat pines
or them
at your door.
OK?
Yours are too short.
Chengcheng,
I don't like this toad.
Get me another one.
The golden toad represents fortune.
Does it bring any money?
Where is it?
It only shouts
all day.
It's not capable at all.
You go get me
a cow, or a horse.
Something represents working hard and diligently,
right?
I didn't ask you to take it away at once.
Let me have another look.
Yes.
You were sitting fine.
Why are you standing up?
Sit down and have some tea.
Well.
How have you been?
The same.
I take more medicine than food every day.
How about we call
the traditional Chinese medicine doctor
that I brought here last time
to come over and prescribe some herbal medicine for you?
You're in charge of the whole group now.
Don't focus your mind on me.
Let me ask you.
How is the project
progressing in Mang Village?
I was just going to tell you.
It goes very well.
Here.
You do it. You sit here.
Thank you.
You go ahead.
The chairman of that village committee is Li Youtian.
When he heard that
our Construction Engineering Group in Jinghai
is going to their village
to build a resort,
he couldn't be more happy.
Don't worry.
Li Youtian doesn't know
the real purpose
behind that resort, right?
Of course not.
He wouldn't have agreed so easily
if I told him
that the government wants to build a highway
through his village.
Is this news reliable?
Of course.
To be honest,
the person who sent me the message,
is the District Mayor of the Qinghua District,
Gong Kaijiang.
He is one of us.
You know him too.
All these years,
he received a lot of brown envelopes
from our group.
I know Gong Kaijiang.
He's an ungrateful bastard.
I've been wondering
if he receives benefits
from them too.
Dad, I don't think so.
Gong Kaijiang is now
the leading official that the government appointed
and is responsible
for the overall relocation plan for Mang Village.
If he reveals the news
in advance,
isn't it like shooting himself in the foot?
That's strange.
Then how did the news leak?
Dad,
I swear, I didn't tell
anyone.
Mr. Gao, you probably don't know.
The land we want
is already under construction.
The one in charge of the construction is
Li Youtian's son,
Li Hongwei.
When did that happen?
The day before yesterday.
Dad.
They are still discussing it with me.
He
Unless he has the approval of the district,
it will be in vain
for him to construct. It means nothing.
Building and construction
are always the construction group's jobs.
Now,
the meat cooked in our kitchen
was in someone else's stomach.
It's not how we do business.
Dad,
I'm sorry.
I didn't do well on this.
You just have to wait and see.
I'll give you an answer.
If I can't take the project down,
I'll change the golden toad for you.
Mr. Gao, take care.
Chengcheng.
I know what you're thinking.
You spent three years in jail for the company.
I will make it up to you.
You've got a lot of projects
these years.
If I give you the Mang Village project too,
I'm afraid people
I know you like him.
Because
his reckless strength
is very similar to yours
when you were young.
Gao Qiqiang calls you dad,
and you really see him as your own son?
He gets along with me.
And he really
cares about me.
He is still not your real son!
Aren't you afraid of having a Lü Bu!
Then you tell me. Am I Ding Yuan
or Dong Zhuo?
Cao Cao, the one who killed Lü Bu.
Tea.
[Deputy Director's Office]
Sir!
Come in.
Director.
Come.
[Application for Transfer]
[Guo Wenjian] [Executive Deputy Director of the Jinghai Public Security Bureau]
What is this?
My application report.
It's too long to read.
Just say it.
Director.
If we didn't achieve
a high ranking
in the competition,
I would apply for punishment
and be dismissed from my position as chief.
What if we get good grades?
Good grades are to everyone's credit.
You can choose a better comrade.
Nonsense!
Is the title "chief"
a sticking-plaster?
You can just rip it off?
I am not competent enough.
I don't deserve to be the chief.
Are you incompetent?
Besides, all these years
you've been working hard and responsibly,
which is well recognized,
right?
Now you're suddenly quitting.
Even if I agree,
everyone else will not agree.
There is obviously a more suitable comrade.
For example, An Xin
If he is suitable,
I'll recommend him to my superiors.
Before I find
a suitable candidate,
you have to work hard as the chief.
Understand?
Yes.
Wait.
Take this garbage away.
Director, why don't you take a look
I'm leaving.
Gong live on our money while helping others secretly
and we still invite him to dinner?
When you see him later,
you put those attitudes away.
I know.
What will you say later?
Say what?
Nothing. Not a word.
Just eat.
No Mang Village?
No.
Then why did we invite him to dinner?
You're off.
Why did you use your left hand?
Because SWA
can shoot with both hands.
So I want to practice my left hand too.
You're not a SWAT officer.
If you shoot with your left hand,
the cartridge case will hit you in the face,
and the smoke can block your vision.
It's very inconvenient in the real fight.
You don't know?
I know.
So why do you use your left hand?
So how was my grade?
It's worse than with your right hand.
You can't make it to the big competition.
Mr. Gao, listen.
Qinghua District will be redeveloped into a development zone.
You can make great contributions to it.
Great contributions?
Us. We are your soldiers.
We will fight for you
wherever you want.
What are you doing?
[Gong Kaijiang] [Deputy District Mayor of Qinghua District]
Mr. Gao, look at you.
You are always so generous. Every time
It's just some local specialties. It's nothing.
Really. What are you doing?
You don't have to.
These
Thank you for taking care of us all these years.
Thank you, boss.
Mr. Gao.
Your business is getting bigger,
yet your tips are getting smaller.
I'm ashamed.
Mainly,
it was because something happened
to that project in Mang Village.
So I took out
two boxes of your specialties
for emergencies over there.
Sorry.
About that project,
I just found out
that their permit for land use
was approved directly by the municipal government.
Signed by municipal leaders.
It's just a formality to go through me.
Which leader is so bold
to go against you?
You don't need to know that.
I won't ask.
Li Youtian, the old bastard,
is not only playing you,
but he didn't even leave me a morsel of meat.
Don't worry. I'll teach him that.
Later,
I'll send those two boxes
to your house.
Don't always be like this.
I didn't
make the wrong friend.
I'll always be your soldier.
It's late. You should go home.
Bye.
Goodbye, boss.
Let's go.
Can we trust this old man?
Uncle Tai
will look into it
for us.
I don't think he dares lie to us.
Remember, Sheng.
The Construction Group
won't suffer losses for nothing.
Li Youtian dares to draw our blood out.
I'll skin him alive.
Let's go.
Everyone.
Test the communication system.
One, two, three. One, two, three.
Check the ammo.
No problem!
-No problem! -No problem!
Get ready.
Lu.
Do you know why
there is a string attached to the gun?
It's out of fear that one may lose it.
Guns are the life
of the police.
If one lost and couldn't find it,
the whole team would have to
clean up this mess for him.
Who are you talking about?
The one knows
It's none of your business.
Do you know where we are going today?
Let me give you a brief.
The anti-terrorism location today
is an abandoned building.
The terrain is unknown.
The number is unclear.
Although the armed police are supporting us,
we still need to
be prepared
for all kinds of unexpected situations.
Every challenge
and every accident
are tests
to us.
Understand?
-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.
Chief Li.
I just received a notice from the command center.
The armed police have another mission today.
Our security is gone.
They don't have to come.
Stop laughing.
You don't see that the difficulty has increased?
Whoever drops the ball today,
200 push-ups to start.
Roger.
Get off.
-Let's go. -Let's go.
It's so stuffy in the car.
It smells like feet.
Gather around.
At ease.
Attention!
Dress to the right.
Eyes front.
Count off.
One, two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight, nine, ten,
eleven.
Group 1, one step forward.
Dress right, dress.
Eyes front.
At ease.
Comrades,
please stand at ease.
The task will be assigned.
I announce
that Team Eagle and Team Sparrow
will each rescue one hostage.
Once the hostage is rescued,
gather downstairs and stand by.
As long as the damage ratio is
less than 20 percent
and we successfully rescue two hostages,
we will win this game.
We'll be the champions
of the city-wide police competition.
Do you have faith?
Yes!
There are fewer members on Team Eagle.
So I'll be with Team Eagle.
All teams, move away.
Sparrow team, dress right, dress.
Dress right, dress.
Eyes front.
Turn right. Eyes front.
Turn right.
Port arms. Turn left! March!
Port arms.
Turn right.
Xiang.
It's been six years.
Why am I still on Team Sparrow?
There are windows.
The sparrow can fly.
That makes sense.
No, the eagle can fly too.
Fly your ass.
Don't move.
It's just a drill. Be gentle.
I know.
Without guns,
I can still kick your ass ten times.
Let's find out.
Fine.
Watch out!
Don't move.
Dude, it hurts so much.
I'm sorry.
I forgot the distance.
Let me see.
So cruel.
Of course.
Aren't you more cruel when you press me down?
Do you admit defeat?
Yes.
Chief Li, you can't cuff me like this.
So uncomfortable.
You should admit defeat earlier.
Tell me how many people you have.
Then I'll unlock it for you.
Chief Li, I can't tell you this.
Then unlock it yourself.
Chief Li!
Done it?
Easy peasy.
Xiang.
Erde.
It's me, Xiang.
You got shot!
Let me ask you.
Where is your boss?
How many people are left?
How could I tell you this?
I told Director Guo
that your wife needs a job.
Should I tell him again?
Xiang.
Wait, we still have
Stop.
What are you doing?
Live interrogation.
What interrogation?
The interrogation is later.
Our main task now
is to save the hostages.
You're breaking the rules.
But I
Drill is the real battle.
You said it yourself.
You're so stubborn.
Xiang, don't go.
Listen.
I'm dead!
Fire!
One man down.
Police!
Freeze! Police!
Freeze!
Come out!
Drop your weapon!
Put down the knife.
Your identity.
Hostage.
Password
Stir-fried rice noodles with beef.
They are so distinctive.
Who set the password?
Liu, handcuff him.
Ying.
Coming.
Thank you.
It's nothing.
I'll report you!
I didn't get any information from you.
But you should be crippled.
This can't do.
Gauze.
Not enough.
Still not enough.
Enough! Enough!
Medical orderly!
Casualties on the east side of the fifth floor.
Fifth floor, east side.
Copy that.
Why are you still here?
Fine.
There is still a female comrade here.
Copy that.
Sir.
There's a random hostage.
A random hostage?
Weren't they all arranged in advance?
The hostage for our team
was arranged.
The one for Team Eagle is random.
Bro,
let's talk.
Where is the hostage?
Here.
You have to let me see the hostage.
I have to make sure the hostage is alive.
I'm here.
Wu.
What are you doing there?
They said there were casualties
on the fifth floor of the east.
So I came and he got me.
You're a hostage.
Why are you so talkative?
Shut up.
Chief Li, cut the crap.
Show me what you've got if you want to save her.
If you can't, don't waste the time.
Surrender and admit defeat.
Man, you
Hands up.
Bro.
You see, this is
a little out of line.
How can you kidnap our team members?
It's like a slap in the face.
You're embarrassing us.
Look how small the entrance is.
How can I save her?
That's your job.
Wu, look at you!
Why are you running around?
I just want us
to come in first.
You see. Our team is
only this project away
from being champions.
It was a tough game.
Show us some mercy.
Let her go.
You let her go.
I promise you.
I'll buy your drinks for a month.
Pick any place you like.
Forget it, Chief Li.
If you can save her,
I'll buy your drinks for a month.
Bro, don't be like that.
Why don't you think about it?
A whole month.
That's a lot of money.
Right?
We can talk about it.
Listen, Chief Li.
I quit drinking
just for this competition.
Not only did I quit drinking, I also quit eating.
Stop wasting time. You are not going to save her.
Admit defeat.
How about this?
I'll come closer
so we can better discuss it.
Stop!
No gun.
I'll leave the gun here.
Don't come any closer.
I'll kill her if you come closer.
Chief Li, save me.
You stop talking!
Chief Li, help me.
Why are you so talkative?
Stay quiet.
You can choose any restaurant you like.
How about Jinghai Private Kitchen?
Bring all your men with you.
We can go now.
You stay away from that chatterbox.
What if the gun goes off?
An Xin.
You're playing the hero again, aren't you?
Are you filming a movie?
No, there's no rope.
-An Xin! -Master!
An Xin!
Master!
Why do you run away alone?
What happened?
An Xin fell down!
What's wrong?
-Master! -An Xin!
-An Xin. -Master. Don't be afraid.
Hold on, Master!
An Xin.
Hold on tight.
Come on. Pull him up.
I don't even know
-Master! -Master!
Everyone!
Stop the drill.
Prepare for rescue.
Forming a net!
Master
Ying.
Be careful.
Be careful of the wire.
Don't step on the wire.
Master.
Come, grab this.
I'll pull you up.
The drill isn't over. Go back.
His stubbornness is coming up again.
He was pulled up.
Start.
Put it on.
Put it on.
Your arm.
Start!
Don't come near me!
-Don't come near me! -Help!
Help!
Let me help you.
Oh no!
[First Prize for Individuals]
It's a pity that only Chief Li
won a personal award.
Our unit
didn't even get a consolation award.
You see.
What would happen
if I were partnered with the Chief.
Officer Zhang,
Someone is looking for Chief Li.
He said he was his father.
I finally found this place.
So hard.
Come on.
Come in.
Come in.
Wait a minute.
Uncles,
please wait.
Why
are you here?
We came together.
Li Xiang is my son.
You're Chief Li's father?
Here.
I have
This is my ID card.
[Li Shan]
Li Xiang
is not like me, but like his mother.
It's really you!
-Yes. -Come on!
-Sit in the back. -Come on!
Uncles, have a seat.
Have a seat.
Sit here.
Your ID card. Your ID card.
I'll get you some tea.
I'll get you some tea.
An Xin, I need your tea leaves.
Xiang is the chief here.
Just think of it as your home.
An Xin, you are running out of tea leaves.
Buy some more.
An Xin.
An Xin. An Xin.
Hello, uncle.
Li Xiang told me a long time ago
that you two
are good friends.
Good buddies.
I finally saw
you today.
You see.
Let's have dinner at our home.
Chief Li.
Your dad is here.
Who?
Your dad.
He is in the office now.
When did he come?
Not long ago.
Look.
Am I right?
Dad.
Is Li Xiang that good?
Fourth Uncle. Fifth Uncle.
Why are you here?
What are you doing here?
What's wrong?
I didn't want to come.
Aren't you the chief now?
Your uncles want to see you.
Yes.
It's amazing that our Mang Village
has a chief of the Criminal Police Unit.
Chief Li.
I heard that the higher-ups value you very much.
Don't listen to their nonsense.
Where did you hear that?
Thanks to your dad,
you have a good name.
Li Xiang. You are, as your name implies, extraordinary.
Exactly. Look.
Uncle, have some tea.
Have some water. Jiang, get him some water.
-This -Okay.
Why did you
bring them here?
You've made it.
I have to show you off to them.
This is the Public Security Bureau.
It's not a place for you to show off.
You brought a bunch of people here.
Aren't you causing me trouble?
What do you mean?
Listen.
Be more careful in the future.
What?
Don't think
you're the chief now.
An Xin
is covered by a high-ranking official.
Maybe your position will be his someday.
It's my business.
Don't worry about me, okay?
Take them away.
I have something important to do later.
My fourth brother's son
needs a job.
But this boy
He's poorly educated and lazy.
He doesn't like to work hard.
You ask around.
I don't like to work hard either.
Why don't you ask around for me?
Why do you
care so much
about other people's affairs?
When my mom was hospitalized,
and she needed care,
where did you go?
You went to play cards.
Don't you know
how high your blood pressure is?
And you have time to worry about other people's businesses.
How old are you?
Can you get down to business?
Have you taken the medicine
I bought for you?
Yes.
You see.
You came to see your son, yet you got scolded.
You know?
No.
I haven't even had a sip of water.
And you're kicking us out.
Fourth Uncle. Fifth Uncle. Brother Wang.
This is the Public Security Bureau.
I hope you can come here when you have some trouble.
Of course, I don't want you
to have any trouble.
But this is not a place that you can visit.
As you can see,
everyone is busy.
If everyone could come to visit here,
we couldn't get any work done.
How about this? I'll come home a few days later.
Then I'll invite you to dinner at our house
or a restaurant.
That will do.
Alright, no more words.
-Let's go. -Go on with your work.
Let's go.
Let's go!
Take care.
-Hurry up. -Bye, uncle.
Fourth Uncle. Fifth Uncle. Bye
-Bye. -Bye, Uncles.
It will affect his work!
Fourth Uncle?
Haven't you seen enough?
Let me show you around?
Get to work and pose the certificate.
[First Prize for Individuals]
Come out with me later.
Think about what day it is today.
[The tomb of my late husband, Cao Chuang]
