The Knockout (2023) s01e24 Episode Script

Episode 24

I'll talk to Li Xiang.
We're from the same village.
We watched our children grow up.
We can't let them
go to jail.
Brother Li Shan,
I have something important
to entrust to you today.
Only you can do it.
Go ahead.
Now that things have happened,
I won't be able to work as
the chairman of the village for long.
I want to entrust the whole Mang Village
to you.
I've talked to the village committee
to elect you in the election.
No.
No.
No, this
Brother Youtian,
you've been the chairman all your life.
If you don't want to be the chairman,
what are you going to do?
Our village has come to this point
all because of Gao Qiqiang.
Even if I had to risk my life
to fight against Gao Qiqiang,
I would do so!
Cheers, Uncle Li.
Come on, uncle.
OK. A toast to Uncle Li.
Stop eating.
Everyone here is surnamed Li.
You all call Hongwei Big Brother
and call me uncle.
That bastard Gao Qiqiang
drives us crazy!
He killed our people
and robbed our land.
What would our ancestors do
if they were still around?
Kill him!
Great!
Raise your glasses!
Come on!
Cheers!
Kill them!
Smash them!
Hong Yi, have you been working out recently?
Yes.
Are your abs coming out yet?
Perhaps they are.
Come on.
Brother Qiang,
the casino in the arcade
was investigated by the police.
What happened?
A group of people from Mang Village
were making trouble in the arcade
and caught the police's attention.
It must be that Li Hongwei
has suffered a loss,
so his father, the old bastard,
stood up for him.
Brother Qiang,
should we kill him?
Forget it.
Don't create more troubles now.
Was Baldy Yong killed
in the arcade?
Was it clean?
Xiaohu handled it.
I went to have a look. It's very clean.
The car that carried Baldy Yong
was burnt that night.
The next morning we reported the case
and said the car was lost.
It should be fine.
How about this?
Don't open
the casino for now.
I have money in my card.
Take it and spend this.
Take it.
Brother Qiang,
the money I've earned these days
is enough for me to spend for years.
So arrogant.
If I have no money, I will borrow from you then.
Go.
Are you the owner of the casino?
Tell me, who is the real boss?
Officer, this place is mine.
I have a business license.
Do you think we
have never investigated a casino?
Since you know how to play,
you know very well that
I can't tell you.
I know the rules.
It means, I'll know it
when I go out and ask.
It's your ability
if you are able to know about it.
But it's impossible for you to
get anything from me.
I wouldn't even bother doing so.
His surname is Gao, right?
Old Factory Street.
You live here?
This building number is quite familiar.
I remember
there were two people living here.
Two brothers.
Tang Xiaolong and Tang Xiaohu.
You are neighbours.
How much do they give you
to go to jail for them as a scapegoat?
Are you letting
your parents down?
Tell me. Who?
The surveillance camera at this intersection
is the closest to the arcade.
Tang Xiaohu's car.
Yes.
He kept saying
he went to drink
at Gao Qiqiang's house that night.
Why is the car
at the arcade?
Isn't that an obvious lie?
I asked him. He said he lost his car.
Lost?
Did he call the police?
When?
He usually has two cars.
This one is not used very often.
So, it was lost for a few days but he didn't realise.
It was reported a few days later.
That's a ridiculous reason.
What kind of vehicle is this?
It seems to be a refrigerated truck.
It is often used by
the people who do frozen food business.
Why does it look so familiar?
I think I've seen it somewhere.
This is
the road surveillance footage
before you arrived at the Scrap Recycling Station.
Smart.
Master, you can even remember
hundreds of cars.
I've watched this footage
over and over again.
Zoom in.
Get the license plate number clear for me.
No problem. Leave it to me.
On the night of the incident,
this HaiB 75233
refrigerated truck
appeared in various locations
in relation to the case.
The first appearance was
in the neighbourhood
across the drug dealer, Cheng's home,
at around 11 p.m.
The second appearance was an hour later,
near the arcade,
at around midnight.
The third time was
on the bridge along the river
from the urban area
to the Scrap Recycling Station
at 00:23 a.m.
Now I think
the person in the refrigerated truck
is most likely to be the person
who attacked Li Hongwei.
The license plate number is confirmed.
Call the driver immediately.
Understood.
There's another clue which is
when we were eating
at Li Qing's house,
Li Qing gave us a message.
My father told me
someone on the construction site
would often chat with him.
He said
he smelled fishy.
Would we shock him
if we summon him?
Should we arrest him directly?
Contact the SWAT.
Take action immediately.
Reporting to the command team.
Reporting to the command team.
All units have arrived.
Assembly is completed.
Action.
Criminal Investigation Unit of the Jinghai Public Security Bureau here.
Are you the owner of the car
HaiB 75233?
Tell me the truth.
Tell you?
What
What should I tell?
Don't you know
what you did?
Officer, I really don't know.
What is the refrigerated truck for?
Of course for fishing.
An Xin. An Xin.
Go ahead, Biao.
The target is under control.
No.
Master, I found it!
What is this?
A crime tool.
Are you
out of your mind?
Fine. At least I am smart.
Maybe he
used this to commit a crime.
This is a tool for fishing.
Are you
out of your mind?
We should really show captain
our good harvest.
Why isn't he here today again?
Everyone is back.
Thanks for the hard work.
How is it?
Did you find anything after being busy for a night?
Yes.
Using forbidden fishing tools
to fish illegally.
Aren't you investigating a murder case?
Why are you investigating a fishing case?
We have confirmed that
he had no time to commit the crime.
The car used by the murderer
may be fake.
It's okay.
At least
you still got the refrigerated truck clue.
Check it wisely again.
I just asked the Department of Motor Vehicles
to help checking.
There are 172 refrigerated trucks
of this model
in this city alone.
Including the nearby towns,
it'll be over 1,000 cars.
Over 1,000 cars. If we check ten cars a day,
it only takes four months.
Don't be discouraged, everyone.
Come on! Come on!
Chief Xiang.
We'll go for it.
May I please ask what you're doing every day?
Why do you ask this?
You are the leader of the team.
You're not minding the team's business,
but going to the city every day.
Do you know
how everyone feels about it?
If they have any emotions,
you can tell your superiors.
An Xin,
Actually, I think the team
is quite good now.
How?
The director trusts you.
Everyone supports you.
It's only a matter of time that they call you
Chief An.
That's good.
Do you think
I'm just like you who
thinks about getting promoted
all day long?
Don't hang out
with Zhao Lidong's gang.
Trust me. I have my own way.
My ancestors.
Back then,
you did a lot of killing and robbing.
I did a lot
shady things too.
But please don't let
all the sins fall on
on my son's alone.
Me, Li Youtian is willing to take all the responsibilities.
Today,
I'll turn myself in at the Public Security Bureau.
My ancestors,
please save
my son, Li Hongwei's life.
Brother Youtian.
I've been working for two days and
I knew it.
It's not easy to be a chairman
I'm different from you.
You have your son to support you.
Don't worry.
Brother Youtian is here.
Whatever happens in the future,
just tell me.
In case
something happens to Hongwei,
Li Xiang is also your son.
Thank you, bro.
No need.
I'm going to turn myself in.
Even if I have to die in prison,
I will drag in those
who hurt us.
Mum.
Mum.
I got in!
Jing Normal University,
the number one university in the province.
I will
make a lot of money in the future.
I'll buy you a house in Jinghai.
And a car
and I'll buy you whatever you want.
I want to take you
out of this damn place
and never come back.
Have a piece.
No need.
My daughter told me that
people will feel better
eating a sweet
when they are nervous.
I've left already.
I can't get in his way.
When you were
against Qiang at that time,
you should have expected today.
I don't kill women.
Do it yourself. Be decent.
An Xin.
Come in.
How is she?
She's stabilized. She's fine.
She's lying down now.
Okay.
She is asleep.
Forget it.
Let her sleep.
Put it there.
Have a seat.
How are you?
I'm fine. Quite good.
It's all yours?
Excellent media person
in 2005.
It seems that you've achieved
a lot in Beijing these years.
Look at that.
This is the first trophy
I got from Beijing.
I was so happy.
Actually, every time I come back,
I'd get some certificates
back.
I just wanted
to make my parents happy.
I want them to know
I am capable
without their protection.
But what's the use?
Look at that wall.
They are all
Meng's certificates.
And all his certificates
in this cabinet.
There are also some in here too.
OK.
You know what?
My mum is very hygienic.
She cleans spotlessly
every day.
Except this cabinet.
Do you know why?
Because she doesn't want
to see these at all.
So I want to
keep them all.
I don't want to show them up anymore.
I found a book
when I was tidying up before.
It is bought in Jinghai
in autumn, 2001.
So, it means
she got this disease
the second year after I was gone.
Six years ago,
when my dad resigned,
he locked himself
in that bedroom.
He didn't come out for a day and a night.
The next day,
I saw his eyes
so swollen.
They looked like a fish maw.
This was the first time
I'd ever seen my dad like that.
An Xin, are you free next Friday?
Can you send me to the airport?
Where are you going?
Back to Beijing.
I plan to terminate the tenancy agreement.
I finally got someone to queue up
to pay the down payment.
Wherewhere do you live in Beijing
after terminating the tenancy agreement?
I'll move out and resign
and move everything back
and never leave again.
Hello?
Okay.
Got it.
Thank you.
Honey.
Honey.
My friend at the hospital said to me that
Li Hongwei is awake.
Yang.
Get the equipment.
Yang.
Get the equipment.
Hurry up.
Sir,
please step outside.
Sorry.
I have a few questions
to ask and it just takes a while.
No, he can't
answer any of your questions at all.
Okay, I'll step back. I'll wait.
Wait.
Li Hongwei.
Gao
I'm sorry.
Please cooperate with us.
Rescuing patients
is also our job.
Thank you.
Please take him out.
Get out! Get out! Please get out!
Did you find out?
The doctor said
Li Hongwei is too weak.
He's not allowed for interrogation.
We need to wait.
Doesn't this prevent us from carrying out
our official duties?
Doctors only care about treating patients.
We need to understand each other.
Master.
Give me the list
of the refrigerated truck.
Okay.
Go back to sleep.
You come with me.
Mo is here.
This is the fish the boss ordered.
I'm sorry
for troubling you every time.
It's okay.
Go take a look.
Gao is in a bad mood today.
Boss.
Look at what you've done.
Li Hongwei is awake.
I'll kill him then.
No.
What if the police
catch the two of you
when you go?
What should we do next?
You take my brother
and leave Jinghai immediately.
Only come back when I ask you to.
How long?
How would I know?
Three years, five years,
eight years or even ten year.
Don't come back unless I fix it.
Do you hear me?
Boss,
Yao is still in school.
How about this, Mo?
I'll ask Shuting
to bring your daughter to our house.
She's taking care of the child.
You should rest assured.
Do we have to leave?
He's half dead.
I'll kill him, that's all.
If the police catch you,
you're probably not gonna see your daughter.
Understand?
If you leave this time,
you should come back after I fix it.
You and your daughter can reunite.
Got it.
What about you?
I'm asking you!
I'm fine!
Yao.
Pack up. Let's go home.
Okay.
We checked one third last time.
Now it's more than one third.
One third.
One third
of 1,100 cars?
It's already 440 cars.
1,100 cars
minus 440 cars.
Lu.
Six.
What are you doing?
I'm counting.
Yes.
You can calculate in your head.
Calculate in my head.
Calculate in my head.
Calculate in my head. 1,100
plus 25 cars,
1,100 minus 440.
There's 25 left.
No.
-I have to add more. -Lu.
Lu,
do you know
calculate in your head?
It means, I don't say anything. Just calculate in my head.
Right.
Plus 1,100.
36 plus 25.
Lu, 1,100 minus 440.
What are you doing with your hands?
I'm counting.
Mind calculation? Why did you scratch your hands?
That is very ear-piercing.
It's hard to calculate.
It's hard to calculate
Do you have a pen?
Yes.
Written on a paper!
Why do you have to
do it in that place?
I'm afraid that it would affect you.
You've already affected me.
I'm tired.
Can I take a break?
Master, I knew you were tired.
I knew you were tired.
How about this?
You go back to sleep.
I'll check the rest of the cars today.
Last night,
we took turns to sleep.
You were the only one
in front of the hospital bed all night.
The night before yesterday was as well.
I saw you
rubbing your arm
when you were at the fishing village.
You must have relapsed from old injury.
Can you be quiet for a while?
I'm so annoyed!
I won't bother you anymore.
What did you say?
I won't bother you anymore.
Can you talk properly?
I said I won't bother you anymore.
That's how my mum talks.
She has congenital hearing disorder.
She can't hear clearly.
Slowly, she can't talk clearly.
Slowly, she doesn't like to talk anymore.
So I kept saying
and keep saying.
Even if she can't hear
what I said,
but as long as I'm talking,
she'll know I'm here.
I was wrong.
I've been so tired these days.
I feel so tired
and anxious.
I was wrong.
Well,
I won't sat you are annoying anymore.
Really?
I'm a man of my word.
Don't you think I'm annoying?
Of course.
Let's talk about
the car just now.
Okay.
I roughly calculated it just now.
New Zun Fa. Yes.
New Zun Fa Mechanical Co. Ltd.
These four are the main ones.
After these four have been excluded
After these four have been excluded
No, no, and also
There are six in total.
After we check
these six companies. -Yes.
We don't add it for now.
I just felt
my heart is not feeling well.
Go get the car.
-Okay? -Pick me up.
Okay.
Master, I think
Let's get the car first.
No, listen to me.
Listen to me. Go and drive.
Listen to me.
If this car
-Left front lamp -Drive first.
-and its -Be good.
I mean this car is suspicious.
Master, look.
This lamp
This one and this one
are all dirty.
Only this one is clean.
It's new.
Whose car is this?
It's my dad's.
Is this your car?
My car.
Don't you remember me?
Officer An,
When you were investigating a case in 2000,
you came to me at the urban prison.
I provided you with clues.
Chen Jinmo.
Thank you.
This is
Yao.
Yao.
Do you remember?
No.
Let me tell you.
If it weren't for one person,
I couldn't have found you.
Uncle An.
Officer An.
You know me.
Hello, uncle.
Hello.
Officer An.
I haven't bought her food yet.
I'll go buy some vegetables for her.
Hurry up.
Okay.
But Mo,
may I ask
if this is your car?
It is mine.
You bought a car?
Yes.
When did you buy it?
In less than two years after
I was released, then I bought it.
It's second-hand. It's not worth much.
Second-hand is not easy.
That means the business is doing well.
Where is it?
At the Old Factory Street market ahead.
I rented a stall to sell fish.
Selling fish?
Selling fish.
I smell fishy.
Selling fish is quite profitable.
It is just tiring.
Well, are the administrators of
the market
in Old Factory Street
still Tang Xiaolong and Tang Xiaohu?
I am not very familiar with that.
Alright. Fine.
Here's the thing.
We received a report recently.
Someone
lost a refrigerated truck.
He gave us
the photo
and it is similar to this.
It's different.
How about this? Can you show me
the vehicle registration of this truck to me
just for formality.
I will register it.
Okay.
Yao.
Do you remember when I was looking for you?
No.
She was too young.
I am so sad.
I won't read it. Just register.
Where were you
on November 28th?
At home.
Tuesday.
Watching TV?
No.
I finished my homework that day
but you didn't come back yet.
It's been too long.
I can't remember clearly. -It's normal.
I've been muddled lately.
Yes, too tired.
You've been registering for so long.
So slow.
Master, I think
Didn't you say you won't bother me anymore?
Chen Yao.
Huang Yao.
Yao.
Study hard.
Listen to your dad.
Let's meet again in the future, okay?
Okay.
Master.
Calm down.
Let's go.
-Okay. -It's urgent.
Take care, Officer An.
See you later.
Okay.
You insulted the police.
I'm warning you.
Step back.
An Xin.
I'm glad you're here.
I want to see Li Hongwei.
The police said I would harm him.
Will I?
We'll work together later.
I want to ease the relationship.
I will leave after delivering the fruit basket.
Thank you.
Look.
Officer An is one of us.
He's reasonable.
You can’t even guard the door.
Thank you, An Xin.
Let me tell you the law.
This is a warning line.
As long as you don't touch the line,
you'll always be safe.
Understand?
Right, An Xin?
Jiang Chao,
Find this out for me.
Have Gao Qiqiang, Gao Qisheng,
Chen Shuting,
and their son, Gao Xiaochen
got the flight
and train ticket
to leave Jinghai recently?
Hold on.
Hold on.
Only Gao Qisheng
booked flight tickets
at 11:00 a.m. and
at 11:30 a.m.to
fly to Hong Kong and
the other one to Tokyo respectively.
Inform the airport police station immediately.
If he boards,
detain him before that.
Gao.
Officer An is here.
Xiaolong, go back first.
Give me the key.
What is it?
I don't know either.
Hello.
Officer An, he's back.
You guys talk.
You love me very much recently.
Where's your brother?
What?
Your brother Gao Qisheng.
Where did he go?
Ask him. Why are you asking me?
He booked two tickets
but he never went to the airport.
Now no channels
can reach him.
I'm not Aviation Administration.
You should go ask them.
Sheng always listens to you.
He should be telling you
wherever he goes.
If he had listened to me,
he wouldn't have ended up like this.
Let him come back.
Give him a chance.
You know what?
Every time I meet your master,
I always feel
I've seen this scene in my dream.
I remember now.
You said the same thing six years ago,
right?
You told me that at that time.
I'm glad I didn't listen to him.
What would have happened if you listened to me?
Listened to you?
I'd have still been selling fish
in the Old Factory Street.
There wouldn't be such a house like this.
If you had really listened to me,
your brother wouldn't have been like this.
Hello, Uncle An.
Hello, Uncle An.
Hello.
Yao.
What did you call him?
Uncle An.
How do you know that
he is uncle An?
He came to see my dad this morning.
Were you there?
Yes.
Shuting.
We are having trouble.
An Xin is investigating Mo too.
Now he found that
Yao is in our house.
There might be a big trouble afterwards.
Didn't Mo leave?
Yes.
How about this?
Take the two kids with you.
You too.
Go?
Where to?
Anywhere.
Where do you want to go?
I'm always leaving.
Where am I going?
Isn't Mo
the person you trust the most?
It'll be troublesome if you don't leave.
I'm not in the mood to deal with him.
He will investigate you too.
Gao Qiqiang,
you want to take Huang Yao as a hostage, right?
Fine.
Let's go to Hong Kong again.
Let's go to Disneyland.
Yes, my son always said
he wanted to go to Disneyland.
Go to Hong Kong then.
For how long?
Wait for my call.
Come back when I call.
Sir,
are you the owner of this stall?
Yes.
I just want to ask
how many fishmongers are there in the market?
Just the two of us.
Where is the owner of this stall?
