The Knockout (2023) s01e35 Episode Script

What did you give Ma Tao?
Nothing.
You don't have to
argue with us.
We've been keeping an eye
on Ma Tao.
He looked for you four days ago
and saw you in the car just now.
We can find
Ma Tao's fingerprint
on the money in your left pocket.
I just gave him a pack of milk tea powder.
Milk tea powder?
Yes.
Ma Tao, it was Ma Tao.
Ma Tao wanted to buy drugs from me.
He asked for milk tea powder.
I dared not offend him.
So I had to agree.
What milk tea?
It's a kind of white powder which
can melt into the drink.
It tastes like milk tea.
Grandpa.
My dad said
he would take us to travel abroad
in a few days.
Are you coming with us?
You promised to teach me how to swim.
Grandpa.
Okay.
I'll go with you.
Yu.
When did you come back?
I just came in.
Who were you talking with on the phone?
I was talking with Dou.
I asked her
about her study.
Have a seat.
Dou told me
just now that
you are going on a vacation.
Are you going abroad?
Yang Jian mentioned it.
It's not decided yet.
You got your work to do.
And Yang Jian is also busy at work.
It must be hard for you
to take care of the child alone.
And
I have to go to your mom every day.
Meanwhile, I have to deal with matters of People's Congress.
You must be under a lot of pressure.
Luckily, Dou
is getting more and more sensible.
But she'll be in the middle school soon.
Life will get more complicated.
Maybe we should hire another maid.
Yu.
This is the money
saved by me
all these years.
Take and use it.
Take it.
You have to take care of the old
and the young.
Be good to yourself.
Take it.
Dad, did you know that
The special investigation team is investigating Yang Jian.
I talked to Yang Jian.
He told me everything.
At this point,
he must take the responsibility
for his mistakes.
You really want him to turn himself in?
That's the only way
you can meet again.
Understand?
So I've been waiting for him to turn himself in
and get a chance to plea for leniency.
Dad.
Be gentle.
She can't hear.
How did your father-in-law say?
He asked me to turn myself in.
Fine.
That means
there's no turning back for us.
Let me think about it.
For what?
Are you really going to turn yourself in?
Brother.
Luckily, we'll be sentenced to life imprisonment
for what we did.
If we don't get a lenient treatment,
we'll be sentenced to death.
Then tell me. What should we do?
The person I contacted before
will send a boat to pick us up
at 12:00 p.m. tonight.
Tonight?
Is it so urgent?
The special investigation team
is onto us.
If we don't leave today,
it'll be too late.
If they are onto us,
how can we go?
Make An Xin drink this.
Once the urine test of the deputy team leader of the special investigation team
is positive,
it will be a total mess for them.
Let's take this opportunity to leave.
Ma Tao, are you crazy?
Who's going to do that?
Your wife.
What?
Do you know what a positive drug test
means to a policeman?
Even if he is framed,
it's a stain
that can't be erased for the whole life.
At worst,
he'll lose his job.
But we may
lose our lives.
I'll go.
I'll find you at the pier after it's done.
You?
He won't believe you.
Get out.
How much did you hear?
I heard everything.
That means
I really have no way out.
Tell me.
How much did you take?
Millions?
Tens of millions?
Hundreds of millions, Yang Jian?
I didn't tell you
for your own good.
I wanted to protect you.
You
How dare you say
you did that to protect me?
If not for you, who else?
I did everything for you.
I took off my uniform for you.
I went to the power supply station
for you.
Yes, I had no choice,
being in that position.
If I didn't make money
Why did I take the money?
Because I wanted to make myself believe
that I was worthy of
being your husband.
But my father
never embezzled a penny.
So your mother
dislikes him forever.
I never thought
being the son-in-law of my father
would make you feel so bad.
I'm sorry. I
I said it out of anger.
I'm sorry.
You know
if you meant what you said or not.
Fine.
The Meng family has wronged you.
You can go wherever you want.
Just go.
Leave with me.
If you can figure it out,
bring the kid and leave with me.
Give me the drug.
I’ll go find An Xin.
No.
Absolutely not.
Ma Tao can do it.
I can do it.
Anyone can do it, but you can't.
You are the target of the special investigation team.
Do you think he will drink
what you give him?
No, absolutely not.
Go by yourself.
No matter what happens
next,
I won't leave Jinghai.
Listen to me, Yang.
I did everything you say.
I just want to live a good life with you.
I don't know why
we have to end like this today.
In the next life,
I'll pay you back.
You've suffered a lot
being with me.
I'm going to the Commission of Discipline Inspection
to explain Yang Jian's situation.
I gave him time
because I wanted him to realize the current situation
and turn himself in.
I can't watch them
go down this way.
Meng.
Meng.
You didn't do nothing wrong to me.
Just do what you have to do.
Just go back.
-Okay, I'll see you again. -Bye.
Okay.
-Bye. -Bye.
You asked me here in such a hurry
to set me up with her?
What do you think of her?
She's good enough for you, right?
No.
I mean I don't deserve her.
You really have high standards.
You don't even like her?
No.
What kind of girl
do you like?
Why should I find a girl?
I'm fine.
I'm leaving.
Wait.
Are you in a hurry?
If not,
have a cup of milk tea with me.
Okay.
Let's go.
I want
two cups of
milk tea on the list.
Okay, 40 yuan in total.
Okay.
Alright.
-Please wait a moment. -Thank you.
What are you doing?
Why are you staring at me?
I'm afraid you'll poison me.
If you don't say that,
I almost forgot I left the poison at home.
I need to take this call.
You don't have to go outside.
It's about work.
So what?
Are you afraid that I'll leak some information?
When you were an undercover cop,
I covered for you.
I'm just kidding. Go now.
Okay.
Hello?
Hello, please enjoy.
Thank you.
Have you contacted them?
Yes.
The boat will be waiting for us for an hour
at Pier No. 9.
What are you doing?
To protect myself.
What?
Drop it.
What if someone stops us?
And then?
We are going to shoot one of us?
Brother,
do you think there's anyone who still
treats you as one of them?
I'm sorry.
It took me a lot of time to take this call.
Yes.
The milk tea is getting cold.
Mine is still hot.
Let's switch.
No need.
I already drank it.
I don't understand
what's so good about milk tea.
It's sweet.
It's said that
sweet things
can make people temporarily forget
other flavors of life.
Isn't that a lie?
No.
It's called compromise.
I wish you happy.
Then I
wish you happy too.
Hello.
We are from the Anti-drug Detachment.
We received a report,
saying that someone is taking drugs here.
Please come back with us
for the investigation.
I don't take drugs.
Officer,
I'm the one you want.
I just
put this pack of drug
into my milk tea.
I can't frame a good cop.
And I can't abandon
my husband.
This is my choice.
Just like you made yours.
I'm sorry.
We can't prove
whether you've taken the drug.
So please
go back with us for a check-up.
We are from the special investigation team.
An Xin
is our deputy team leader.
Things about drug is just a misunderstanding.
We recorded
everything happened here.
The drug
is fake.
If you don't believe me,
you can take it back and run a test.
Actually that bag of drug is fake.
What?
I really am clean now.
I lost contact with those people
a long time ago.
But Ma Tao
was in a rush.
So I bought
a pack of cheap milk tea power,
Don't lie to me.
I'm telling the truth.
I can tell you where I bought it.
You can check it.
Although it's cheap,
it is indeed
a pack of milk tea.
So, An Xin,
you knew everything from the beginning
but you still came to play with me.
I made a bet.
I bet you won't hurt me.
Looks like I won.
How long have you been in the Anti-drug Detachment?
Ten years.
I'll go back with you.
Thank you for your cooperation.
I need to make a call.
Okay.
Hello.
Have you found Yang Jian?
He is in the same car with Ma Tao.
They are now passing through the city center.
It's highly likely that they have weapons.
When they get away from downtown
and the crowd,
clear a path
and arrest them at any time.
Yes.
Evidence bag.
Do you need to cuff me?
No.
Let's go.
Remember, take the evidence.
This afternoon
-The education and rectification in Lingjiang -Mom.
You're back.
Look who came.
-Tao is here, too. Come on. -Auntie.
Come in.
Come in.
Put it there.
Have a seat.
Everything all right?
We're going for a long trip.
So I thought it'd be better to check on you first.
Have you eaten?
No.
I'll make some food for you.
OK. Mom, well
Make us some noodles.
Okay. Just wait a second.
Sit.
Okay, it's ready.
Come eat.
Auntie.
Be careful.
Son, this is yours.
Here.
-Mom, have a seat. -Thank you.
Eat it before it gets cold.
Have you visited your parents recently?
Yes.
My mom
asked me to say hello to you.
Please send my best regards to your parents
when you see them next time.
What are you doing?
Eat.
You should eat more.
Eat with me.
Mom, eat.
About my nephew's school,
I've pulled my strings and settled it.
You must've begged someone.
It's okay. We're friends.
Mom,
the nursing home
I told you about.
I've paid the money.
I'll ask my sister
to take you there and get you registered.
Move in quickly, alright?
I'm not going.
Why not?
The house is not for sale.
If you're tired of living there,
you can always come back.
There are many elder people there.
Make some friends.
Your wife always comes to see me
with the kid.
I'm not lonely.
Let me clean the table.
Let me do it.
Let me do it.
Let me.
Brother.
We're running out of time.
No.
You don't need to
It's Pier No. 9, right?
Yes.
I remember in 2007,
eight of us from the Anti-drug Detachment
came here recklessly.
We found out that
it was a drug factory when we got here.
There were
over 20 people from the drug cartel.
They were all well-armed.
The engine of our car was nearly broken
when we were still far from their gate.
We were young back then,
not afraid of death at all.
The eight of us
fought against more than 20 of them
inside.
We fought for almost 2 hours
with our bandolier.
None of them managed to escape.
That was my last battle
as a police officer.
Why am I back
after all these years?
You're going to report Yang Jian.
What does Yu think?
She can't accept it yet.
But she is a reasonable child.
She will figure it out sooner or later.
To save this family,
this is the only way.
It's not easy for you
to make such a decision.
Many leaders
can be strict with themselves,
but when it comes to their family,
they just turn a blind eye.
Stop praising me.
I really regret that
I didn't realize
Yang Jian's problem earlier.
Seeing the kid
end like this
must be hard for any parent.
We've been sacrificing
for our children.
I even want to give my heart
to them.
But you know what happened.
They never listened to us.
Only when they make a big mistake
will they regret what they've done.
Some things
are just out of our control.
You're here.
Meng,
let An Xin drive you to the Commission of Discipline Inspection.
Look at him.
Grey-headed.
He looks older than us.
I wonder
what he's been worrying all these years.
Don't worry, kid.
The view on the mountain is great.
But people like us
who are in a high position
have to
stand straight.
An Xin.
Yes.
Let's go down the mountain.
Yang Jian and Ma Tao left the car
at the dockyard
near Pier No. 9.
The dockyard is currently in a state of shutdown.
They left the bustling downtown,
which means
they don't want to hurt the innocent.
They still have some conscience.
I think they are ready
to take their last chance.
Yang Jian, Ma Tao,
you are surrounded by us.
Tell your team leader
Xu Zhong to come here.
I'll only talk to him.
Get me a car.
Ji, I need to go to the scene.
No.
They are risking their lives.
They would do anything.
Yang Jian can't die.
We need him
to tell us
everything he knows.
Okay, I'll go with you.
You can command here.
I know what to do.
Yang Jian.
Ma Tao.
You are surrounded.
Drop your weapons
and come out.
This is the last warning.
You're completely surrounded.
Drop your weapons!
He won't come out if you shout like that.
Sir.
It's too dangerous.
Stay here.
Lu Song.
Is the SWAT team in place?
Everything is ready.
Keep Xu safe.
Yes.
Stop.
Yang Jian.
Ma Tao.
I'm Xu Zhong from the guidance team.
Show your face
if you still see yourself as a man.
Yang Jian.
I heard you love drinking.
I brought a bottle.
Let's have a drink.
Look.
I just brought wine.
Nothing else.
If you don't talk,
I'll go in.
Don't move.
I'm fine.
I bought that
myself.
I'm not a big boss like you.
What a waste!
Yang Jian,
are you
showing off your shooting skills?
Are you trying to tell me
I've never touched a gun,
I've never met a criminal
face to face,
and that I don't know
what you police officers in the front line have been through?
Let me tell you.
I know.
Xu.
Go.
Buy me a bottle of wine.
Good wine. Go.
We're out of wine.
And we have no snacks.
Looks like we can only chat.
Yang Jian,
I've read your file.
When you were a cop,
you were a good cop and
a loyal captain.
But after leaving the police force,
you've changed.
Yang Jian.
I bet you still have some conscience.
You won't fire a bullet to the uniform
or the honor you had before.
Shoot!
I bet you won't
shoot those behind me who used to
protect people with you.
Don't move.
Why do you
sound so weak?
The whole sentence should be
Don't move!
Police!
Here's the wine. Sir.
Why did you buy such expensive wine?
Didn't you ask me to buy good wine?
Fine. Whatever.
It's for the martyrs. It's worth it.
Open it.
Anti-drug Detachment，
Fall out!
I
want you
who belong to the Anti-drug Detachment
to do me a favor.
Because only in this way
can we save Yang Jian.
This person is
your former captain.
Do you understand?
Attention.
Turn right.
All of you, eyes left.
Eyes front!
The Anti-drug Detachment is assembled.
We're at your service!
Go back in line.
At ease.
See?
They are your juniors.
Yang Jian.
I heard that when you were in the team,
you set
a good example
and rule.
Ma Guoan is gone.
Please remember this name.
We'll make a new rule today.
People die,
but their names
will remain forever.
