The Knockout (2023) s01e16 Episode Script

Print or copy?
Can you take an ID photo for me?
Yes.
Can you make an ID card for me?
Yes.
No.
Officer Lu, stop teasing me.
You made
this ID card, right?
Th-This is illegal.
Let me recite the law for you.
Whoever forges a resident ID card
to prove one's identity
shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than 3 years,
criminal detention, public surveillance
or deprivation of political rights.
If the circumstances are so serious,
the criminal suspect shall be sentenced to
fixed-term imprisonment of 3-7 years
and be fined.
Your circumstance is very serious.
I'm innocent!
Has he been here before?
I can't remember.
Really?
I really can't remember,
Officer Lu!
I sell over 100 ID cards
every month.
How can I remember each of them?
Didn't you quit?
I was wrong, Officer Lu.
Please give me another chance.
Handcuff yourself.
No, I beg you. I swear.
Handcuff yourself!
-Please give me one more -You'll feel more pain if I do it.
Let's talk in the police office.
-I beg you. -Put it on.
I swear this is the last time!
-Handcuff yourself! -Please give me another chance!
Officer Lu!
Stop. I'll give you a chance.
To redeem yourself.
If you remember that
you have seen this man before
or if in the future
he comes to find you again,
call the police as soon as possible.
Do you understand?
Yes.
Master, that
-That's illegal. -Go.
Just let him go?
Master, according to the law,
we can't
let him go so easily.
I've delivered what he should know.
The rest depends on him.
What's wrong?
I'll tell our master.
The cameras are ready.
What about the sites around his home?
All done.
Let's go back.
Yes, Sir.
Come on, everybody!
Let's eat something delicious today.
Senbeis and rice crackers.
-Thank you all for your hard work. -Bread and cake.
Beverages.
For my part,
I prefer pancakes rolled with crisp fritter.
You've had a long day.
Come on.
Distribute them to everyone.
You'll feel more energetic after eating some food.
Come on, An Xin.
Have some food in case you feel hungry.
The weasel pays respect to the hen
Mistake a good man
without the best of intentions.
for a bad one.
Shut up.
Okay.
I admit that our team
had a bad attitude before.
But today,
I came to show my concern
with sincerity.
And I've already showed my attitude to
Chief Xiang that
as long as we finish
our work,
we'll come here to accompany all of you.
Call us if you need anything.
We'll become your best
logistical support.
It looks like you want
something from us.
What did you say?
I was talking about Zhang Biao.
So petty.
These are the investigation findings about this case
searched by our team.
I was going to offer them to you
without strings attached.
But since that's your attitude
My attitude is perfect.
Do you want them or not?
Cut the crap.
Guys, applaud for Leader Zhang Biao!
Stop that!
Have you got any new information?
Tell me about it.
Well, Jiang,
report that to
Leader Zhang Biao.
Yes, Sir.
We've got 5 ID
forgers in our sights,
and have installed cameras
near their workplaces
and homes.
Nothing abnormal has been found so far.
They showed no strange behavior,
nor contacted with
the suspect
in the portrait.
The criminal usually hides for some time
after committing a crime.
And after the police finish their investigation,
the criminal will strike again.
Hasn't he used
that fake ID once?
I'm sure that
he has to make a new one.
An Xin,
your team has to be ready
for a long battle.
Don't worry.
We're good at staying up late.
This guy is suspicious.
He's been here for over 10 minutes.
But we can't see his face.
Flexible Team 2. Flexible Team 2.
Copy that.
There's a suspicious person
in front of the printing shop.
Go over there quietly and have a look.
Don't alert him.
Got it.
Why are you in such a hurry?
I lost my license the day before yesterday.
I'll have another one.
Come in.
It's too dark to see clearly.
Do we need to enter the shop?
No.
Wait for us.
We need extra staff.
Liu.
Gou and Fortune,
let's go!
Wait!
How many do you need?
One is enough.
2,000 yuan.
Didn't we agree on 200 yuan?
The price level is rising.
I just raised the price.
Besides,
to be honest,
your business is flourishing.
So I guess you won't
care about such little money.
How do you know
my business is florishing?
I guessed it.
Just a guess.
Are there
a lot of new cameras
on this street?
I didn't notice.
Did the police
come to find you before?
Yes, they did.
But I didn't tell them anything.
I only want money.
Everything else has nothing to do with me.
You trust me, right?
I can tell
you're not the kind of person
who betrays his friend.
Look,
I didn't know you had raised the price.
This is all I got now.
As for the rest,
I'll give you tomorrow morning.
No problem.
But,
the price
will go up tomorrow.
How much?
2,500 yuan.
OK.
I have plenty of money.
Try this.
Happy cooperation.
Happy cooperation.
You're a nice person.
They all say so.
What happened?
They went into the shop
and haven't come out yet.
Are you sure?
Yes.
Don't come in!
Master, this
may be the last time that
I come to see you.
Over the years,
I've been regretting
not telling
the truth back then.
I told An Xin that
it was for your reputation.
But actually, it's because I was afraid.
I was afraid I couldn't defeat Zhao Lidong.
I was afraid I'd lose
everything I fought for
all these years.
Yes.
I'm afraid of being looked down upon.
But my true wish is to become
a qualified police officer.
I don't want their things.
I have no choice, Master.
I can't stand it anymore.
I even hope
to die
on a mission.
In that case,
I may feel better.
Master.
I used to ask you questions
all the time.
So this time,
please show me the right way again.
If it's the front side,
I'll turn myself in.
If it's the reverse side,
I'll continue to be a policeman
and atone for my sins in my own way.
Here.
Bottoms up.
Li Qing,
we're risking our lives to help you.
Nothing else matters,
We just respect you for being a real man.
Here.
It's time to leave. Let's go.
Let's go.
Qing, it was your father who died.
So you can't
Right?
Let's go.
Go.
Let's go.
Come on, Bro.
Let me help you. Let's go.
Let's go.
Li Qing,
can you recongnize him quickly?
Be sure to catch the right kid.
You have to let Gao Qiqiang know
you are a real man.
Run after me.
Grab some food!
-We'll order something. -What would you like to order?
Kid?
I'll have this.
It's raining.
Look! He's coming!
Drive!
That is a blind spot.
The school's surveillance cameras
can't get that angle.
I heard from some students that
the criminals who kidnapped the student were in a grey van.
What's the license plate number?
The last number was 5.
Officer An.
Did you find him?
Well,
it was outside the range of the cameras,
so we couldn't know where he was taken.
Don't worry.
It happened
less than an hour ago,
and we have settled checkpoints
along all the roads
and highways nearby.
He couldn't have gone far.
My son
can't be dragged down by his father anymore.
So, who do you think
is the most suspicious?
I think
Lu.
Master, you're right.
The van is in Mang Village.
The license plate number is
HaiB 27665.
We're checking with the local police station.
Great.
Don't alert the suspect.
I'll be right there.
Did you find him?
We just found some clues.
Please take care
of the student's mother.
Officer An,
You saved my life.
You saved my son and me once.
I beg you.
Please save Xiaochen again.
Please.
Li Qing, stop!
Stop! Stop running!
Stop!
Li Qing!
Stop!
Stop!
Li Qing!
Stop!
-Don't push me! -He has a knife!
-Step back! -Don't push me!
Li Qing!
-Step back! -Li Qing!
-There's a knife. -No one's forcing you.
Let's talk it over.
OK?
-Step back! -Li Qing!
Put the child down first.
Li Qing, calm down!
Call Gao Qiqiang here.
Then I'll let him go.
OK. OK.
We'll contact Gao Qiqiang now.
OK.
We'll contact Gao Qiqiang now.
Go get Gao Qiqiang!
We'll contact Gao Qiqiang,
and you can tell him what you want.
Chief Li!
How is everything going now?
The suspect's name is Li Qing.
He has a knife.
He has the hostage. What should we do?
You go over there.
Where's the armed police?
On the way. They'll arrive soon.
Go away! I just want to see Gao Qiqiang!
What's wrong with this young guy?
I'll talk to him.
Have you ever met him?
I had dinner at his home.
He used to be simple and quiet.
What happened to him today?
He has been insane since he was young.
He always wanted to kill others when fighting.
He's a psycho, identified by the hospital.
I need to talk to him.
I'm from Mang Village.
I know him better than you do.
As long as he calms down,
it shouldn't be a big problem.
I'll calm him down first.
He's very emotional now.
What if he hurts the hostage?
Call Gao Qiqiang here.
I'll let him go.
I'll kill him for my father's death!
Go and contact Gao Qiqiang.
OK, we'll find him now.
If there really is an emergency,
to keep the hostage safe,
you can shoot him.
I'm not suitable for doing that.
I grew up with him.
You are more suitable than me.
Chief Xiang, there's an emergency.
Fellows, please be quiet.
We need to clear the way now.
Please cooperate with our work.
This is our village's business.
None of your business!
Who are you?
My son is inside!
Shuting, it's dangerous inside.
It's useless for you to go in.
Don't go in, Shuting.
Please trust us.
This is the first warning!
Your behavior
has seriously affected the law enforcement.
Irrelevant people should leave immediately!
Gao Qiqiang, you know what?
If
anything happens to my son because of you,
I'll definitely die with you!
Shuting, calm down!
How did Mang village
get into such a mess?
It's still about the construction site.
Hasn't the local police station
intervened in the investigation?
It's hard to explain to them.
Although these villagers
have changed to urban dwellers,
they still
think like
rural people.
Where is the Village Chairman?
The villagers are unreasonable,
the Village Chairman is the same?
No
Director Gong, what's wrong?
The Village Chairman is waiting for you
outside your office.
Secretary Meng!
-Hello, Secretary Meng. -Hello.
I'm Li Youtian, the Village Chairman of Mang Village.
I've been waiting here for a long time
to report my work to you.
Let's talk about
your work later.
-After you, please. -Okay.
I won't stand on ceremony.
Mang village is in such a big trouble now.
You'd better go back and deal with it.
What happened?
A villager
kidnapped the son of the boss
of Construction Engineering Group.
Now the villagers are blocking the entrance
and the armed police can't enter the village.
Go back right now.
Well
It's beyond my duty.
I
You're the Village Chairman.
Who else can deal with it?
No, I
Go now.
As the Chairman of Mang Village Committee,
you need to show up.
Okay.
Well Then
Sorry for the trouble.
I'll go back and try to deal with it.
I-I've never met
such situation before.
This
This old man is the most cunning person
in Qinghua District.
Li Youtian
came here
to cause me trouble.
Right and proper! Murderer should die!
Right and proper!
Our village will always support you!
Don't come over. Step back!
Okay.
Didn't we reach an agreement
a few days ago?
Officer An
has found a job
for you in a restaurant.
Why do you ask me to do this?
Is there a plan B?
Do as we planned.
Put the knife down.
You can go to work tomorrow.
You're lying! I don't believe you!
Don't move forward!
Li Qing!
Don't come over!
If you come any closer,
I'll die with him.
It's me, Li Xiang.
I don't care who you are.
-Get out of the way! Back off! -Okay.
Okay, calm down.
I'm not in the village these days.
I didn't know
you'd suffered so much.
Tell me if you have any grievances.
You can ask for anything.
Let the boy go.
How about this?
I'll replace him.
I'm the Leader of Criminal Police Unit now.
I'm more important than him.
Pay the debt with money,
and pay the life with life!
You're right,
but we don't need to
kill innocent people,
right?
Loosen your arm.
You don't have to die!
Besides,
someone is responsible for all of this.
Go find Gao Qiqiang
to settle the grudge between the two of you.
Don't make it hard for the kid.
Look, you've been in the rain for a long time.
How about this?
Let him put on the jacket.
Don't let him get a cold.
Be good, come on.
Go get Gao Qiqiang!
Ask him whether he agrees to show up!
Sure.
If you want,
I'll go to find Gao Qiqiang.
I won't interfere if you want to beat him or scold him.
It's up to you, okay?
Let him come here!
-Let him come here! -Let him come here!
Let him come here.
Ask Gao Qiqiang to come here.
-Qing! -Ask him to come here.
Qing, give me some time.
I need to call Gao Qiqiang,
right?
Go, call Gao Qiqiang
and tell him to come here.
Okay.
Qing.
Look at me carefully.
We grew up together.
If you can't trust the police,
then you can trust me.
Think about it.
When you were young,
they always bullied you.
Who helped you?
Who was always with you
when they ignored you?
Do you remember?
Once upon a time,
you kicked the ball
on that crotch
and you couldn't reach it,
so you asked me to help you.
I tried so hard to climb up
but slipped and fell down.
I was in the hospital for nearly half a month.
You sent me sugar water every day.
Do you remember?
Brother Xiang?
Brother Xiang?
Qing,
you remember, don't you?
I thought you had
forgotten me.
Qing, listen to me.
I'm helping you.
Put the knife down.
If I find out
it has something to do with Gao Qiqiang,
I'll kill him myself.
Trust me.
I will help you.
Brother.
Kill him!
Kill him!
Kill him!
Kill him!
Here.
Give me the knife.
Uncle Shun died miserably!
Your father is dead.
You must catch him!
-Li Qing! -Li Qing!
Avenge your father!
Qing
My father is gone.
Don't listen to their nonsense.
My father is gone!
-No -My father is gone!
Qing, don't listen to them.
Gao Qiqiang's child!
Shoot!
-The chief gave us a signal! -Calm down.
Calm down. Put down the knife.
I want him to pay with his life!
Qing
Pay with his life!
Qing, let go of the kid first!
Li Qing, you have to avenge your father!
Qing, trust me.
An Xin, shoot!
What are you doing?
Shut those people up!
Pay with his life!
Qing
Pay with
Protect the scene!
Take Xiaochen away!
Hurry!
The target has been shot.
Retreat!
Let's go.
Let me do it.
-Go. -The suspect has been shot.
Forensic experts are entering.
Get out of the way!
Excuse me.
-Who is this? -Don't hinder us.
Who is this?
The child is safe now.
You are Gao Xiaochen's parents, right?
He's taking a preliminary examination
and will be out soon.
The villagers are emotional.
I advise you
not to go in now.
Understand?
Thank you.
Hurry up.
Wait!
Were you the loudest just now?
What's wrong?
Come with me to the police station.
How can you arrest me?
Stop shouting!
None of you can escape.
Handcuff him.
Handcuff him!
An Xin.
Forget it. Let them go.
Forget it?
He's guilty.
Calm down.
Go!
Calm down!
How can I calm down?
Can you arrest them all?
Why not?
You were blocking my sight.
What did you mean?
Did you want me to kill you too?
Liu, Li,
take him back to have a rest.
No need.
Let me go.
Xiang,
you're awesome.
Get lost!
Xiaochen.
Mom!
Mom!
Mom
It's okay.
I'm here.
I'm here.
It's okay.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Let's get in the car.
Mr. Gao,
you can't leave now.
Your kid has to go back
to the police station
and make a statement.
Can I take him to the hospital
to have a check first?
Yes.
We'll go with you.
Let's go.
Thank you.
You don't even want to
shake hands with me now?
Li Qing is dead.
Officer An.
Thank you.
Xiaochen.
Xiaochen,
can you remember
how many people
kidnapped you?
I can't.
It was dark.
I-I know nothing
Okay, enough.
Xiaochen,
when we get to the police station,
if the police ask you
how many people kidnapped you,
you must remember my words.
There was only one person.
One?
Yes, only one person.
Lu,
since you're the boss's chauffeur, you'd better keep your mouth shut.
Does it hurt here?
No.
Okay.
Does it hurt here?
No.
Okay.
Let me check your arms.
Relax. Relax.
Let me look over here.
Relax. Relax.
Okay, hold your breath.
Gao Qiqiang,
why did you tell him to lie?
I want to
do a favor for Li Youtian.
This is a good opportunity
for us to work together.
Xiaochen has suffered so much,
but you still want to use him as a pawn?
Is it because
he's not your biological son?
Don't say that.
You know very well
how I treat you and Xiaochen.
I won't tell the police,
but it doesn't mean I'll let them go.
Don't worry.
I won't let those people
who bullied you and Xiaochen
go easily.
Did you just come back from the hospital?
Master, I'm back.
Did the kid say something?
Li Qing
made Gao Xiaochen unconscious
with a towel dipped in ether.
The kid said he lost his memory
after he got in the car.
He couldn't recall anything.
But he's certain of one thing,
there was no one else in the car
except Li Qing.
Isn't that good?
The case is much easier.
But Li Qing didn't have a driver's license.
But it
doesn't mean he can't drive.
That makes sense.
Why is it so dark?
You're hurting your eyes!
Chief Li,
I was too aggressive today.
I'm sorry.
I understand.
Li Qing is gone. I feel worse than you.
Let's get down to business.
The surveillance cameras at the junctions of Mang Village
-Checked. -OK.
But the hard disk with the video
is gone.
It may be stolen by the suspect.
If you say so,
there may be more than one person
who kidnapped Gao Xiaochen.
And maybe Li Qing
was being threatened.
I agree.
Speaking of what happened today,
no one would believe that
Li Qing did it all by himself.
Then why did Gao Xiaochen say
he only saw one person?
Hello, this is the criminal police.
I see.
Because
Gao Xiaochen is Gao Qiqiang's son.
Gao Qiqiang suffered losses
in this village.
If he couldn't win this round,
he would be more
passive in this negotiation.
So, Gao Qiqiang
won't let it go.
He just doesn't want us to interfere.
If the backer of this case is Li Youtian,
then he's so stupid.
He caused such a big trouble.
Both Gao Qiqiang
and the police are now angered by him.
He's digging his own grave.
Yes.
Is Li Youtian that stupid?
An Xin, come here.
Can you leave us alone?
We're in the middle of a discussion.
I'm asking you to read it!
There's an article online
about the demolition of Mang village.
Don't mind the online articles.
The news is pretty objective,
but this comment
is so scary.
It's obviously leading public opinion.
Gao Qiqiang is a gangster in Jinghai,
and he forced Li Qing
to commit the crime.
These people
spread rumors everywhere.
But Gao Qiqiang is a gangster.
That's true.
The comment also said that we shot Li Qing
and captured the villagers
to support Gao Qiqiang
as a protective umbrella of evil forces.
There's a photo posted.
An Xin, isn't that you?
I know.
You're famous.
This person is interpreting out of context
and defaming us.
Let me see who he is.
Mystery?
I must find this person out!
Scroll up.
Let's see who is the writer
of this article.
Yu,
did you write this article?
As a Beijing media,
your main duty is to report something about Beijing.
Why did you report the news of Jinghai?
Mom,
it's the Internet era now.
The geographical division is not that clear.
Besides, as a reporter,
the most important thing
is to expose the dark side of society
and those inequitable things
in the world.
Don't think of it too simply.
Being objective is not enough.
Look at the comments below.
There are many different viewpoints.
Police doxing
An Xin from Jinghai Public Security Bureau?
Come here. Quickly!
Look. Come here.
An Xin?
Come here.
Where is Anxin?
Look.
Are you being used as a gun?
Won't it harm An Xin?
Hello.
Meng Yu.
You're back.
Who are you?
It's me, An Xin.
Mom. Mom!
Leave me alone, please.
I'm taking a phone call.
-Drink the milk. -Okay.
Drink it while before it gets cold.
It's been a long time, Officer An.
What's the matter?
Sin-Since you're at home,
shouldn't we meet?
It's
It's still early today.
Let's have a meal, okay?
Today? I'm not free today.
What about tomorrow?
I'm not available tomorrow.
Let's find a time when you're free.
I'm not sure now.
Well, I'm quite busy now.
I'll tell you later.
Okay?
Okay.
Bye.
Making up stories with a picture
is extremely
irresponsible.
When you arrive at the house of your
uncle in your hometown,
don't go anywhere.
Wait for my call.
Brother,
how long are we going to stay?
At least 2 or 3 months.
Maybe after the investigation
of the police is done.
What about our house?
What about the money if our house is demolished?
You're showing how stubborn
you are again!
Hold it back!
Will it happen so fast?
Take it.
Take it.
Call me if you need more.
And also,
pay it back after you get the demolition payment.
-Let's go. -Go.
Let's go.
Don't worry. Let's go.
Did you send them away?
Yes.
Did you get rid of the van?
Yes.
Nice, my son. That's great!
Come on.
Great!
Good son.
That's great.
That's great.
Then,
the police
couldn't find any evidence leading to us.
Gao Qiqiang
is now like an ant in the hot pot.
He's going to get into trouble soon.
You know what?
It's really a good idea
to find a reporter to write an article about this.
That's the only right thing you've done
while surfing the Internet.
Do you think I play games every day for nothing?
That article was just a guide.
Without my comment,
the public opinion couldn't have been led to this direction.
Hongwei,
if this reporter
knows
something more about what we've done,
will she write
something unfavorable to us?
I've talked to the villagers.
How can she know
if the villagers don't tell her?
No.
Reporters are keenly sensitive like dogs.
Sooner or later,
they will definitely smell something.
She won't stay here
for long.
Even I don't want to
stay in this shabby place.
Weren't you born in this village?
I'd rather I was not.
It's good to be born in a big city.
They have seen more things than us.
And also,
after we destroy
Gao Qiqiang,
no matter who
is sent to negotiate with you,
just say yes.
Do you think this would
happen every year?
The land in Mang Village is not that big,
and we can only sell it once.
We must sell it at the highest price!
All the land in the village
has something to do with us or what?
I don't think so.
You raised the price to that high,
but in the end the money will
be distributed to each family.
Wait.
Dad, how about this?
Let's put the price lower
on the surface,
and then secretly ask the
Construction Engineering Group
to give us a kickback.
That'd be nice!
It's a win-win strategy.
No.
We all live in this village.
It's inappropriate.
In the future,
we will have to live together.
I don't want others
to blame on us one day.
Dad,
you just can't live without your title
as a Village Chairman.
Bastard!
Who am I doing this for?
Don't mention that!
Let's see. I'll move out as soon as
the land is sold.
I really don't want to stay
in this shabby village anymore!
Do you think we can come back one day?
Of course.
I just don't know when.
Tomorrow morning.
What do you mean?
After we arrive tonight,
we'll return back tomorrow morning.
Li Hongwei
coaxed us to work for him at first,
and then
threw us away as garbage.
We can't let him go easily.
Arrest Gao Qiqiang!
Investigate the protector!
Arrest Gao Qiqiang!
Investigate the protector!
Crackdown on gang crimes!
Oh my god!
It's too high!
Come on. Lie down, please.
Calm down, please.
Lie down when you feel angry.
Lie down and calm down for a while.
Let's talk later.
I told you to calm down.
Do you know
what they say about you now?
They said you're the head of gangsters.
How can you let others say that?
I've committed more crimes than you.
They don't dare say that to me.
Dad.
