The Return of the Lame Hero (2025) Movie Script
China's railway system,
with a network of three east-west and five north-south,
plus 72 main trunk lines,
is a prime battleground for all the top players.
What top players?
Thieves?
Among them,
the most legendary
Master Si, the leader of the Rong Clan. He once boasted that
nothing he sets his eyes on is beyond his reach.
Hi, are you alone?
Then come with us.
My mom's cooking is really good.
I'll ask my mom to buy you a soda too.
Mom, I need to pee.
You need to go again?
Easy, now.
Slow down.
Don't step on people.
I bought the soda
to help with your medicine,
yet you drank it all.
Not all of it.
Your health isn't improving,
but you sure learned
how to lie real quick.
Other boys can pee in a bottle.
Why can't you?
Excuse me, Sir.
Coming through.
Hold it.
I can't hold it any longer.
Mom,
what's that?
Thief!
Thief!
Thief!
That's my bag!
Hooked a boy.
Boys are the most valuable.
Grab him first.
I can't hold it anymore!
Help!
Help!
Thank you!
Thank you!
So sorry,
he peed all over you.
Seven years old and still can't hold it.
Thank you!
Thanks!
It's okay.
Thank you!
What's that junk you're holding?
Where'd you find it?
Mom,
I want to be a policeman.
I want to catch thieves.
Ask your dad when we visit his grave,
see if he agrees.
With your weak body,
always crying and wetting yourself,
and you want to be a cop?
You'd probably pee yourself
before even drawing your gun.
I'll flick your forehead three times.
You can be a cop if you don't cry.
I wasn't ready.
Again.
-tut
Bi Zhengming.
Here.
Fresh out of the police academy,
runs fast and is good at combat,
and has top grades in every subject.
The kid says it himself
he only wants to join the anti-pick pocket unit.
Why are you so desperate
to join the anti-pick pocket team?
Captain Zhou,
anti-pick pocket work plays to my strengths.
And catching thieves brings a sense of honor.
You only see the thief feast,
never the beating he gets.
Captain Zhou,
I'm a policeman,
not a thief.
If you're not more cunning than thieves,
how will you catch them?
The tall guy behind me,
what does he look like?
In anti-pick pocket work,
you gotta know how to recognize people.
Stop looking.
You've been staring forever.
He's...
tall.
Alright,
my job is done here.
He's all yours.
Train him well.
Bi Zhengming.
Here.
Who gave you that name?
Captain Zhou,
my dad gave me the name.
He told me to be upright and honorable,
and always speak my mind.
Quite upright and honorable indeed.
Like picking lice off a bald head,
it's obvious at a glance.
Captain Zhou,
why does that mean?
Look at how you walk.
And look at others.
Hey,
turn around.
Pickpocket at three o'clock.
Captain Zhou, how can you tell
if someone is a pickpocket?
Watch and learn.
Hide that righteous look in your eyes.
Sorry, Sir.
I'm really sorry.
Thank you.
I'm sorry.
Two small fries showed up in car thirteen,
messing up the operation.
So are the two up front.
They're getting reckless.
Daring to hit Train 161.
Let's get them.
What's the hurry?
A yogurt, please.
Cops are boarding.
Mr. Zhou is getting on.
Pull back.
Peach says pull back.
The guy I was following earlier
had a gold medal this big.
It's gold.
Are you sure?
Right in the bag he was clutching.
Eh,
let's scout around
and see what's going on.
What about me?
HE
Go chat with that train police officer
and learn about the train situation.
We'll meet in the crew car later.
Captain Zhou,
afraid I'll mess up?
What's the rush?
It's still early.
Ride a few more trains.
If you are still not getting it,
hurry up and switch teams.
Officer,
Captain Zhou asked me to chat with you.
Just graduated from the police academy?
I... I am relaxed.
Is Zhou your mentor?
Oh, not yet.
But the leader asked him to show me the ropes.
Zhou is a good mentor.
He's pretty impressive.
-Really?-He used to catch
at least a dozen thieves
on a single e trip.
The small-time pickpockets all know him well.
They all call him Mr. Zhou.
Let Mr. Zhou deal
with those two small fries.
The last couple of years,
Thank you!
not so much.
He's getting old.
Let's go.
Too much exposure in newspapers and TV.
have learned to steal the core.
What's stealing the core?
It means after they steal the wallet,
they take out the real cash
and replace it
with fake ones,
then put the wallet back.
You won't even notice
until you go to use the money.
By the time you realize it,
the thief is long gone.
They can steal like that?
Of course.
wait a second.
What are you doing?
Walking back and forth past here?
You've got a crush on this
outstanding new graduate?
Interesting, huh?
Already making a move
Captain Zhou,
you're really quick today.
Zhou,
what's this? Taking on a new apprentice,
or a lucky charm?
Then bless me
to nab Master Si soon.
Who's Master Si?
The leader of the Rong Clan.
Zhou,
if you can nab him
before the train speed increases
then you can consider your career made.
I'm counting on you for that.
Don't.
I don't have your sharp eyes
like the Monkey King.
Get me some hot water.
Hurry. Run fast.
My money!
What's wrong, Ma'am?
Did anyone see my money?
Give me back my money!
Take it easy.
Here comes a rookie cop.
How much did you lose?
Were there any suspicious people around just now?
What did that person look like?
Can you describe him or her to me?
This is all the compensation my late husband got!
Those leather shoes,
standard police academy issue.
It's my late husband's pension money!
Were there any suspicious people around here?
Any?
Give it back!
Did you see someone pass by here?
Did you?
Help me!
My husband was gone!
How am I supposed to live?
Give me back my money!
Not even afraid of being scammed?
Here, I have some money.
Take it.
Fresh out of school,
how could he understand that the kind get bullied,
the tame get ridden?
Shut it!
Good deeds bring good rewards, okay?
Er bao.
Give me back my money!
Your money dropped.
That's my money!
Don't worry, everyone.
With us police here,
we will catch all those
heartless thieves.
Good!
Move!
Officer,
so heroic.
This guy really is a lucky charm.
First day on the job and already making a contribution.
Just luck.
Where's my water bottle?
I'll go find it now.
Wait.
Got pickpocketed through your pants pocket?
st day on the job and already paying respects to the local boss?
My wallet's gone!
My student ID is inside.
Must be a female thief.
They are into fresh meat like you.
Think it's funny?
It's funny?
A cop gets robbed and you have the nerve to laugh?
Go find it.
It's alright.
ack in the day, Captain Zhou had his front pocket picked too.
Bro,
there's a bunk available now, bro.
Bro.
Been drinking?
Don't reach out,
or you'll get caught.
Addicted to playing cop?
You may get yourself arrested one day.
If you want to work on the trains,
you have to attend the Heroes' Gathering.
Oh right, I forgot.
Master Si won't let you attend it.
Why won't he let you?
Would he let you compete on his own turf?
Master Si's rule,
whoever spots it first, claims it.
Whoever spots it first, claims it?
Then why bother holding the Heroes' Gathering?
Why mark territories?
Hand over the gold medal.
Hand it over!
I can't give it to you.
Don't cite the rules,
if your skills are inferior.
Not following the rules, huh?
Then I'll break your hands.
Master Si taught you how to pick handcuffs, huh?
If you want to work the trains,
you must attend the Heroes' Gathering.
If you don't follow the rules,
you won't make it anywhere.
Your dad's death for the Rong Clan
doesn't mean you can do whatever you want.
As long as I'm with the Rong Clan,
you will never set foot on a train.
Oh, no!
Oh, no!
My gold medal was stolen.
Gold medal?
What event was it for?
About this big.
I just put it inside.
I woke up and it was gone.
You two,
come with me to the station hotel.
The rest, check the waiting room.
Why's that?
When a thief scores big,
he'll need to transfer immediately.
The next train isn't coming for another two hours.
If he wants to go back, he'll get a room.
Is this you?
Is it stolen?
Then call the police.
Police.
Have you seen a man with a crew cut,
holding a liquor flask?
Room 206.
Police.
Is there a short-haired woman
wearing jeans
staying here?
Her hair's about this long.
Room 404.
You guard the door.
Yes, Sir.
Don't move!
Don't move!
Don't move! Police!
The police academy records are all mine.
Try to outrun me?
TR 550
TPF 1
Not embarrassing.
Look at this.
Haven't I shown you this before?
Oh, my!
Over 40 stitches.
Over 40?
Hmm.
Who doesn't get hurt in our line of work?
Hey, let me tell you,
my leg will definitely heal faster.
Captain Zhou,
once my leg is better, I'll return to the team.
Captain Zhou, right?
Yes.
Have a seat.
I told you that you weren't cut out to be a cop.
See?
First day on the job
and your Achilles tendon gets slashed.
Have some food.
I'm not hungry.
Don't be a cop anymore.
Once your leg's better,
come back and sell clothes with me.
Master Si,
Shadow Hand's cooking skills have now surpassed yours.
Here,
have some.
Not bad. Shadow Hand,
I'm really impressed.
If I had your skills,
I wouldn't be obsessed with the Heroes' Gathering.
Look,
with your skills,
who here can compare?
Advisor.
Right, Young Master?
Haven't had stewed crab with goose in so long.
I really missed it.
Shadow Hand, you got the gold medal, huh?
Here.
Give it to the Young g Master.
You know the rules.
Thank you, Master Si.
You gotta know the rules.
The gold medal
must be worth a fortune, right?
If your team alone takes it all
do you think you can handle it?
Don't say our team is hogging it.
The gold medal is for Master Si.
I don't want it.
The gold medal will determine the winner,
of this Heroes' Gathering.
Shadow Hand,
if you're tired of being a cook,
you can join the Heroes' Gathering.
We can compete on the train,
see if you can snatch the gold medal
from my hands.
You better beg Master Si
to let you attend it.
Why are you stirring up trouble?
Showing off too much.
What have I taught you usually?
Lay low to protect yourself.
If you can't,
your skill is a bomb
that could blow you up at any time.
If it weren't for Shadow Hand keeping our rules in check,
how could you have safely
made your fortune on the trains?
You should thank him.
Anyone who disrupts our rules and unity,
Don't blame me for being ruthless.
Bi Zhengming,
now you can use your disability card to get half-price fares.
Thank you.
Sir...
Sir, don't move.
Let me help you.
Thank you.
My teacher said helping disabled people
could earn a little red flower.
You're not fit for the anti-pick pocket team anymore.
Once you've recovered,
I'll apply for your transfer.
This comrade of mine died
while catching a thief.
Was the murderer caught?
What do you want to do?
I want to stay on the anti-pick pocket team.
Captain Zhou, please let me stay.
Just give up on that thought.
I worked so hard just to become an anti-pick pocket cop.
You can't just kick me out like that.
My leg is almost healed,
you have to believe me!
How do you know I can't do it if you don't give me a chance?
Can you still catch thieves now?
If you can,
I'll let you back on the team.
Come on,
let's close up and go eat.
I'm not going.
What?
Your leg's crippled,
and your spirit's gone too?
You don't understand.
I'm waiting for my opportunity.
Waiting for your opportunity?
You're not waiting for a thief, are you?
There isn't a single soul in the shop.
Why would a thief come?
Morning!
Cleaning up,
Ms. Zhang?
Yes. Start working, Zhengming?
Take it.
70 Yuan.
Perfect.
No change.
Don't move! Police!
I already had him detained.
I was halfway through putting the cuffs on him,
but I didn't even get a clear look at his face.
I just feel so humiliated.
Can it reverse 180 degrees like that?
How could that be possible?
Who hasn't heard of the Rong Clan?
My skills are too poor.
Can't get in.
Knock it off, okay?
Quite strong, huh.
Next time you catch a thief,
be more careful.
Got it.
Go for it, son!
Welcome!
Finally caught you.
Mind your own business.
Nobody moves!
Police!
Hand it over.
A cripple pretending to be a cop?
I'll break your other leg!
You lame cripple!
You think you can be a cop?
Say that again?
Who's breaking whose e leg?
Where is the Rong Clan?
Who is Master Si?
You still don't know anything.
By the time this train ride was over,
the emergency lines
were flooded with calls.
Everyone was asking
what your anti-pick pocket team was even doing!
Have you been on TV too much?
Your entire team are too conceited.
Mr. Zhou,
when are you
going to wipe out the Rong Clan?
Report!
Bi Zhengming requests to return to duty!
I just caught two thieves.
Your disability
might actually be your greatest advantage.
This long period of illness and pain
has stripped away your arrogance.
The limp
also helps conceal your police identity.
First, learn to blend into the crowd.
Then, use your advantages
to find them.
Porn movies,
very exciting.
-Want one? -NO.
Very good!
Want to play?
The hotels nearby are pretty cheap.
What are you looking at?
Go away if you have no money!
Quit loitering around my door.
You're ruining my business.
Dare to steal from me?
Do you not want your hands anymore?
What do you want?
Do you have proof that I stole it?
I saw it with my own eyes!
I clearly saw it!
Excuse me, , Sir,
you can't sleep here.
Trying to steal my territory?
This is not right.
I haven't even said anything about you yet.
You are telling fortunes here,
not afraid of getting arrested?
You've got quite the professional setup.
What are you doing?
Walking back and forth past here?
You've got a crush on this
outstanding new graduate?
When catching thieves,
besides spotting them,
you also need to know how to listen and read situations.
To listen, you must understand their jargon.
Since ancient times,
thieves have worshipped Shi Qian as their patron saint
and called themselves the Rong Clan.
Pickpockets
have their own jargon.
A wealthy person
is called a "heng zi.
A wallet is a "piz i.
Banknotes are "hao zi."
A gold bracelet
is a "kao zi.'
Preparing to act is "ha feng.
Making a move
is "kun feng.
I'm on the road all year round.
Dreams are always the opposite, you know?
Success is "kun zhe.
Being spotted
is "tou feng.
Shi feng means getting caught red-handed.
In the north,
it's called "diao jiao.
The more experienced thieves
often use pouch stealing,
which
requires s rigorous practice,
probing,
opening,
picking,
and pinching.
If someone keeps valuables
in their outer coat pocket,
in their slang, that's called
free giveaway.
Free giveaway.
No matter how well
you hide something,
it's useless.
They also use tricks.
Let's move, Sir.
The honey trap,
the self-injury ploy,
or even a combination of schemes.
Harassment!
You disgusting pervert!
Catching one or two small thieves
doesn't solve the real problem.
The highest level among thieves
is called "tiao bai.
When they steal,
even if the target doesn't show their wealth,
they can still take all their valuables.
further divided into the "upper eight caves" and the "I ower eigh
They're all under Master Si's control.
Only by finding the "tiao bai"
do we have a chance to wipe out the Rong Clan.
The Rong Clan
has a strict hierarchy.
A
Every few years, they hold a competition
to showcase skills
and re divide train territories based on ranking.
This means they have
a set of effective
counter-surveillance tactics tailored against us.
Thank you.
Who told you to target train 161?
Within the Rong Clan, there's a clear division of labor.
For example, there are dedicated teams
to enforce gang rules in their respective territories.
If anyone encroaches on their turf,
the Rong Clan will definitely make an example of them.
Kneel!
Please let us go!
You can take it all!
It's all yours!
The Rong Clan has its rules.
What should be left behind
must be left behind.
We promise we'll never do it again!
You've made so many enemies for the Rong Clan.
Aren't you afraid of karma?
Try leaving Master Si's protection if you dare.
My eyes may be blind, but my heart isn't.
Those who see get a share.
Haven't had any business for a long while.
Tell my fortune.
Let's see...
your mother perished before your father,
right?
My mother is alive and well!
Don't jinx her.
But it's correct.
Your mother,
and the one who perished before was your father.
Isn't that covering both possibilities?
Total fraud.
The speaker may not mean it,
but the listener takes it to heart.
How you interpret it
depends on your state of mind.
You're not a drifter.
Drifters have dead hearts.
Your heart isn't dead.
You've been lurking here for two months.
Looking for someone?
Catching thieves.
Thieves are everywhere.
Can you possibly catch them all?
I want to catch the masters among thieves,
the "tiao bai.
He stole the most valuable thing from my family.
Tiao bai...
I think I've heard that somewhere before.
A small place,
We i jiang.
Yes, We i jiang.
Take it easy.
Mind if I borrow some vinegar?
Master,
I want to attend the Heroes' Gathering.
I've learned your skills,
I need to test them out, right?
You and trains just don't mix.
I still want to try.
Just because you got the gold medal
doesn't mean your skills are better than his.
Besides,
You're someone with blood on your hands.
Luckily,
with veterans like us,
and the vast network under us,
they won't come to you no matter how they investigate.
Peach, you said it yourself,
Drunk fools are stupid,
lovers are blind
what comes right to your door, why not take it? "
Peach,
I was wrong!
I said wrap it up, yet you still made a move.
How dare you disobey me?
How many lashes?
Say it yourself.
five?
Five!
Fifty.
I told you to steal the core, but you just won't listen.
You'll always be
botto m-t ier.
There are so many cops on the train.
If you get caught,
do you want to drag others down
with you?
Two hundred-word self-criticism.
Sorry,
I scared you.
Sun Wukong,
the great hero.
Officer,
so heroic.
You wrote this?
Not bad.
Can't even afford food,
and you're still being charitable.
Accumulating more virtue
never hurts.
Sis,
what did Young Master talk to you about?
Last night, the train heading to the military base
got hit.
Young Master asked us to check
who pulled the job.
500 military coats were stolen.
Even the police can't find out.
Where are we supposed to look?
Different folks,
different strokes.
500 coats,
they can't have gone far.
They can only be sold d locally
Daring to steal al military supplies?
When I find them, I'll skin them alive.
This is affecting our GDP!
Explain to me,
what is GDP?
GDP.
P, P, P!
I didn't beat you hard enough, did I?
Hurry up and finish eating.
Let's go find the goods.
Did you take in any military coats?
I did.
How many?
Whose goods?
Come on, Peach,
you know the rules.
Pass on a message for me.
Tell them Peach requests a meeting.
I can pass the message along,
but whether they agree to meet
is up to them.
Thanks.
Stinking beggar.
If you follow her again,
I'll break your other leg.
Enough.
What do you want?
I want to learn your skills.
Do you know what I do?
Give up.
You're not qualified.
Stop following us.
Otherwise,
if they beat you up,
I can't stop them.
Thank you, Peach.
Heard you were looking for us.
Was it you who pulled the job
swiping 500 military coats?
Shadow Hand's idea?
Just buying the goods from villagers
to resell I them.
Military supplies were stolen.
The entire railway is cracking down.
Why don't you explain it
to Young Master yourself?
What's done can't be undone.
I've made myself f very clear.
I don't think so.
Who knows if you pulled shady tricks
behind the scenes?
You'd better watch your mouth.
If you want to work the trains,
you must first attend the Heroes' Gathering.
Sorry,
I forgot,
you can't attend it.
You are just small-time trash.
Bastard!
If it weren't
for respect for Shadow Hand,
I'd have killed you long ago.
Come on.
How dare you?
Stop fighting!
The police are coming!
Stop fighting!
Can't you understand me?
Stop fighting!
The police a are coming!
He's crazy, , ignore him!
Bastard!
He's crazy, ignore him!
Bro, let's go!
He's crazy, ignore him, come on!
Let's go!
Run!
Stop fighting!
Stop fighting!
Stop fighting!
Go to the hospital.
Xiling Road.
Maan's Barber Shop.
coming!
Thank you, thank you.
Not enough?
Maan,
I know what he wants.
What haircut do you want? anything's fine.
The Bodyguard from Beijing,
Jet Li.
He'll protect you
as a bodyguard, right?
It's normal for a disciple
to protect his master.
Who would push their lifesaver
into a fire pit?
I didn't push him.
He jumped lin himself.
Right, Gimp?
Hmm.
If you want to learn the trade,
it's like boarding a ship.
It won't be easy
to get off.
You have to end up like me.
Are you sure about this?
I don't want to eat leftovers anymore.
You're quite sturdy.
Did you train before?
Used to get into fights.
Trained for a few years.
How'd you become a drifter?
Where are your parents?
My mother perished before my father.
So I ran away.
What's your name?
Everyone e calls me Gimp.
Makes sense.
In our line of work,
you have to forget everything.
Not bad.
sorry.
It's fine.
How did you get the scar on your leg?
Fighting over food with someone,
got stabbed with a knife.
Peach,
come inside and help me thread a needle.
Alright.
Do you know this guy's background?
He is so tough,
carries injuries,
and he's a trained fighter.
How dare you recruit just anyone?
Aren't you afraid of harming the members of the Rong Clan?
Maan,
I promised to teach him the trade.
I didn't say I'd bring him into the Rong Clan.
What are you talking about?
If he learns the trade,
can he avoid joining the Rong Clan?
I promise
I won't send him to work.
In front of the ancestor, you must mean what you say.
It's up to you.
The incense is almost burnt out.
Hope the doors stay open wide.
Gold is taken, felt left inside.
Year by year no charges fall
Even heaven hunts Dongfang Shuo.
Still not talking?
You two deserve to be beaten to death.
It was all my idea.
Master Si,
how about you give a straight answer?
They can't hold on much longer.
Your people broke the clan rules,
cut off our income,
and some brothers got arrested because of it.
Do you think this can just be brushed aside?
I told them to take the goods.
Why don't each of you here
take a stab at me?
Either keep me
or kill me.
I thought you wouldn't dare admit it.
Messing with military supplies,
now there's a crackdown.
Our men can't even board the trains.
Everyone's starving.
Just taking your worthless life doesn't help.
Our Rong Clan values unity,
emphasizes righteousness,
and handles its own affairs.
The goods came from you.
Your subordinates broke the rules.
If you take the blame for them,
then it falls on you.
However,
punishment
is still necessary.
Master Si,
how about this?
30, 000 fine per line.
240, 000 in total?
You're literally extorting us!
Give me three months.
Let me take them away first.
What if you can't pay in three months?
Then what?
Chop off a hand.
And I'll leave the Rong Clan.
Then let's go by the rules.
If you need to make money,
don't do it in We i jiang.
Shadow Hand,
there's one more thing.
If the police can't close the case,
none of us can get back on the trains.
Everyone is waiting.
You need to put forward someone
to take the fall
I'll give you two days.
Make it clean.
Bro,
I'll go.
I'm a minor.
The sentence will be lighter.
Call her sis.
Hmm.
Call me bro:
Hmm.
Call him bro.
Er bao,
open the lock.
Stealing is like
Beijing opera.
It emphasizes hands, eyes, body, technique, and steps.
With these skills,
what's left
is vision.
Find the wallets on the mannequins
in the shortest time possible.
Test your abilities first,
and see if you are suitable for this job.
Starts now.
Be careful with Jerry's head.
Be gentle with women!
My Lisa!
Be gentle with women!
Watch it!
You call this stealing?
This is robbery.
Eight minutes.
You are indeed fast,
but speed is all you have.
You have no skills,
Duck feet?
Duck feet don't have separate toes,
got it?
Then what level do I need to reach?
This set of movements.
Without dismantling the mannequin,
find the wallet on it.
Take out the money
and put the wallet back.
Complete it within three minutes,
and I'll take you to see Young Master.
Stealing the core in three minutes?
That's way too hard.
That's Master Si's standard.
Who's Master Si?
Don't ask what you shouldn't know.
Practice this first.
A coin.
Use two fingers,
put the coin in,
then pinch it out,
without touching the bell.
If you can do it
30 times per minute,
you pass.
Let's go.
You can do it.
Hello? Please page 9527 for me.
Captain Zhou,
I'm at the square phone booth.
You grim p, join me!
I'm talking to you.
I'm over here!
Still haven't seen me?
Don't just go by the face.
I'm right here.
Still haven't seen me?
Think of how I looked before.
Look for clues.
Find the essence.
Doing detective work
means keeping your eyes and ears open.
But don't get distracted.
Don't let your feelings lead you off track.
I am now a disciple of
the person who stole my wallet.
She's started teaching me how to steal.
She didn't recognize you?
I tested her.
She didn't recognize me.
Clan is divided into a network of three east-west and five north
eight branches altogether.
The head of the east-west branches is called Young Master.
The one I'm following now is called Peach,
who answers to Young Master.
She told me
if I can meet her
three-minute requirement,
she'll take me to see Young Master.
As long as Young Master agrees,
I'll have a chance to see Master Si
even attend the Heroes' Gathering.
If I can attend the gathering,
' Ill have a chance to take down the entire Rong Clan in one go.
Find a way
to attend the Heroes' Gathering
Peach.
Hot, hot, hot!
Your hands are like steel rebar.
If you don't soften them up,
you can't master the skill.
Pretty fast.
If you can hold these two needles,
holding anything else won't be a problem.
Knit a scarf.
Got it?
Peach,
what comes after this step?
You can't read this!
Master, you can't read this.
I... I just wrote down some things you taught me.
Why take note of this stuff?
I like great heroes too.
I remember everything you say.
Can Rong Clan techniques be casually recorded?
You're doing an investigation
to fight crime,
not to silently chant slogans.
You even keep a diary?
Why not just paste these words
on your forehead?
Have we met before?
What? You also think..
Er bao said the same thing yesterday.
Get some sleep early.
Where did Master go?
ook Er bao to meet Young Master on Train 161 to get goods.
What goods?
Just keep practicing.
Look how hard he's working.
Of course he is.
The Heroes' Gathering is in three months.
What?
Gimp has some talent.
Have breakfast.
Thanks, sis.
Two months from now,
the Rong Clan is holding a competition
called the Heroes' Gathering.
They will gather
in We i jiang.
Young Master, Bin, these are their nicknames.
We'll figure out
who's responsible for whom then.
We've already reported to the Ministry of Public Security.
The whole country is coordinating.
We aim to take down the Rong Clan in one sweep.
Still short 160, 000.
You've mastered the coin clipping skill.
Next, practice undoing buttons.
It's all delicate work.
Impatience won't get you there.
A real prodigy.
Like this.
You're really something.
I've been practicing since I was a child.
Why did you start young?
I'm an orphan.
If I didn't steal, the traffickers would beat me to death
now what?
For people like you,
with some physical disability, it's actually easier to steal.
People don't see you as a threat.
Sorry, bro.
Don't take it to heart.
Bro, I...
Haven't we met somewhere before?
Master said I resembled a cop she saw once.
You do look like him.
Don't move.
Step one of stealing the core,
undo the button.
Pinch the wallet.
We call it
Dragon Emerges from the Sea.
Step two,
transfer the wallet.
Step three,
pull a switcheroo.
Replace real money
with fake money.
Step four,
return the wallet.
To take something from someone
without them noticing,
the best method
is to divert their attention.
All stealing methods,
no matter how they vary,
their essence
is always to creat a diversion.
This is called misdirection.
What's wrong, Master?
Testing method.
Change the target's body posture
to find an opening.
And there's the temptation method.
The prettier the woman, the more effective it is.
Am I pretty?
But my leg seems to have a cramp.
Is it working?
Feeling better?
There's an old Chinese medicine doctor in the old town.
I'll put in a word for you.
Thank you, Master.
How old are you?
Uh, just over 20.
So young,
and your leg's already broken.
It must be e tough for you.
The place you live in
is too humid.
Tendon adhesion.
You need electro acupuncture
to loosen and unblock
the tendons in your leg.
It'll hurt a bit.
Hey,
Who's talking?
I can teach you a way to avoid pain.
Want to learn?
Yes.
Deep breath.
Deep breath.
I'm doing it.
Focus your attention on the point of pain.
Observe exactly how it hurts.
How deep the pain goes.
The more detailed your observation, the better.
Every detail must be observed thoroughly.
And?
Then there is no more pain sensation.
Your method doesn't work.
It isn't as good as just diverting attention.
I'm already under four minutes.
Can you put in a word with Master for me?
Take me to the Heroes' Gathering.
You've just started.
Why are you always thinking about the Heroes' Gathering?
I just want
to earn some money.
Maybe I can get my leg fixed.
Not a big deal.
I will talk to Peach for you.
When we win, I'll take you on Train 161.
We will make a lot of money together.
Thanks, bro.
Do you think
we can really win at the Heroes' Gathering?
Let me tell you,
in terms of skill,
Awesome!
There's also
Shadow Hand.
Which team is he on?
I haven't heard of him.
They say he is Master Si's closed-door disciple,
eading a separate team that does odd jobs for the Rong Clan.
No future.
Closed-door disciple? He must be a master.
His hands
can rotate
180 degrees.
Heard it's because of a childhood car accident.
He lost his parents,
and his hands didn't heal properly,
that's why he's called Shadow Hand.
His skills
are indeed good
But Master Si won't let him attend the Heroes' Gathering.
They say Master Si helped him greatly in the past.
I don't believe it.
He probably has some dirt on Shadow Hand.
He's jealous that Young Master can work Train 161,
always looking for ways to mess with us.
Captain Zhou,
I suspect Shadow Hand is the one who crippled me.
Do you think I'm getting close to revenge?
How could you say something like that?
This is a society ruled by law now.
If you let hatred blind you,
then what does the social order you uphold amount to?
What was written in the diary you showed me?
Do you still remember?
Put all the thieves behind bars.
Don't forget it.
Still short 70, 000.
If we could get on the trains,
not just 70, 000,
even 700, 000,
we three
could absolutely get it.
Even if not Train 161,
other trains would be fine too.
Look, we're already thieves,
yet we still get bullied.
Isn't that a bit too..?
Master Si,
I still haven't
scraped the 240, 000 together.
Can you help me?
How do you like this place?
Good?
I've been feeling unwell lately.
I've taken a liking
to a house down south.
After this Heroes' Gathering ends,
I'll retire.
Go enjoy my old age.
I'll go with you.
I'll serve you.
Back then you begged me to teach you the trade.
I didn't break my promise.
I taught you everything I should.
I don't want to leave the Rong Clan.
I did so much dirty work for the Rong Clan.
I wouldn't survive outside anyway.
You broke the rules,
which put me in a difficult spot.
Now that you're in trouble,
it wouldn't be right for me not to help.
Take this back first to tide you over.
If people see me helping you,
what will they t think?
Can't let people gossip.
I'm guarding a shipment on Train 161.
Came to let you know.
Just passing through.
It's like taking money from my pocket, isn't it?
Your skills are rusty.
Can't cut through down below.
So you need to get on my train,
I'll cut it for you and deliver it home.
If you can't do it, fine.
Split the escort fee in half.
Just passing through.
Don't you think you're asking a bit much?
Can't scrape together the money?
Afraid of getting your hand chopped?
Don't say I'm bullying the weak.
Call me "Young Master,
and I'll lend it to you.
I can't scrape the money together.
I'll escort
a shipment on Train 161.
Shadow Hand,
why not use this opportunity
to settle things once and for all?
If you win,
you can attend the Heroes' Gathering.
What do you say?
If you lose,
you leave the Rong Clan.
That's your own word.
The so-called "opening eyes
means reading people.
We need to read people
in our line of work too?
If you can't read people,
how do you know who's got money,
where it is,
or how much?
See that guy picking river fish?
It's Hong tashan cigarettes
in his shirt pocket,
and his fingers are yellow.
Two packs a day at least.
He's holding car keys.
Cars need gas, right?
And he only picks wild river fish.
If he doesn't have hundreds on him,
he can't get by a single day.
If I learn to read people,
will you take me to the Heroes' Gathering?
e n't finished training and already want to attend the gathering
Er bao,
watch him.
How about that guy?
The Walkman's new.
The shades and the watch look pricey too.
Is he rich?
Fake watch.
He can't afford a real one.
To know who's rich,
you've gotta know the goods first.
Listen to that ring,
sharp and long.
Gold?
You bet.
A gift for Young Master.
X LER
Does that guy look loaded?
Damn it! The human trafficker!
What human trafficker?
He's the one who abducted us!
Er bao became mute because of him!
Don't rush.
You keep watch.
Let Gimp scout
and find a rich guy.
I'll be right back.
Anyone?
It's time for a real test for you.
I want some vegetables.
Who'd you come to the market with?
That guy just lifted your wallet.
What the...
Stole my wallet?
Which one?
The guy with glasses.
What are you doing?
Women's underwear?
Everyone, look!
Catch this pervert!
He stole women's underwear!
Beat the pervert!
Beat him!
Don't kill him!
Er bao,
Enough.
Call the cops.
One less pest in the world.
Well done!
Today Er bao and I got our revenge.
Let me know you,
Gimp is a true brother.
I acknowledge him!
From now on, you are with me!
Captain Zhou,
would you call this
honor among thieves?
Think you're living in a martial arts fiction?
Gonna master the craft
and then rob the rich to help the poor with them?
I over-deliver ed
the job you gave me!
I want... I want the yellow one.
Not bad, kid.
Good skills.
It sucks.
Can you use a four-character phrase
to describe my beauty?
Very, very, very beautiful.
Four characters.
Uneducated.
Then you say something.
Peach is prettier
than the mannequins in the boutique.
Of course.
You can say that again.
Peach is absolutely stunning.
Er bao says
we should open a clothing shop.
With Peach standing at the door,
we'd be rolling in!
I'll be a model then.
Gimp too.
We'll all carry
a cell phone
and drive a Santana.
Er bao
rides shotgun.
And
Peach and Gimp, you two sit in the back.
Then we'll
cruise around the city.
We shouldn't do this anymore.
Let's start a business.
Let's stop stealing.
Let's not do this anymore, okay?
I won't be a thief anymore.
I'll make a fortune.
I'll...
Peach, I'm drunk.
I drank too much.
We're all drunk.
I....
Joking is one thing,
I'm drunk.
but once you're in the Rong Clan,
you can't
just leave
at any time
you want.
The Heroes' Gathering is in a couple of days.
You two need to rein it in.
Master,
let me try one more time.
Dragon Emerges from the Sea.
Two Immortals Deliver the Dao.
Steal the Beam and Replace the Pillar.
Return the Jade Intact to Zhao.
I'm really drunk.
How long?
Three minutes and fifteen seconds!
Er bao.
Bro.
Does this mean I've completed my training?
Master?
I said under three minutes.
Even one second over is not acceptable.
Master, trust me.
Let me go to the Heroes' Gathering.
I won't hold you back. I..
I'll say this one last time.
If you see me as your master,
then don't go.
Peach just won't allow you to complete your training.
I was 15 seconds short.
Er bao, let's head back too.
Tomorrow we still
we still need to help Young Master
deal with Shadow Hand on the train.
Er bao, keep an eye on him.
Your ticket.
Wake up.
Ticket check.
The police academy records are all mine.
Try to outrun me?
Beer, soft drinks, bottled water,
sunflower seeds, peanuts, and instant noodles.
Excuse me, please make way.
Watch your feet.
Beer, soft drinks, bottled water,
sunflower seeds, peanuts, and instant noodles.
A gift for Young Master.
Sharp and long.
Gold?
Can't hold it anymore.
Going to the restroom.
A man in a yellow jacket and black pants
has passed out in the restroom!
Is he with you?
Excuse me.
Stop pushing!
Who did this?
Shadow Hand,
don't ever board my train again.
Too many thieves on board.
Keep your belongings secure.
What's up, dude?
A colleague?
What my master wants, you can't take.
Who is your master?
You don't even know my master Peach,
and you dare board Train 161?
Peach is from my team.
My apologies!
A fast learner indeed.
Your disciple?
Master.
Well-trained.
He hasn't finished his training yet.
Consider his training done.
Take him to the Heroes Gathering tomorrow.
Thank you, Young Master.
Well, I just wanted to..
are your eyes okay?
It was Master Si who gave him the tips.
Master Si is biased.
Bro,
aren't we just too pathetic?
We lost the gold medal,
and now the bronze mirror too.
Is it really that hard to get to the Heroes' Gathering?
Even without attending the Heroes' Gathering,
life can still be good.
We also have skills,
so why do we have to do the dirty work?
Catch the thief!
Catch the thief!
So young and already looking to end up in jail?
Get up.
When you leave,
don't forget to take the gold medal.
Tomorrow is the Heroes' Gathering.
Times are changing.
Banks in the south have installed surveillance.
It's only a matter of time before trains have them too.
Maan,
come with me.
I have nothing to do with the Rong Clan anymore.
I could only find my own opportunity.
Master Si.
What are you staring at?
Go in.
Master, I was wrong.
I shouldn't have
boarded the train without your permission.
I just wanted to be with you guys
to see Master Si.
That'd be exciting.
You've already seen him.
Once you finish your training,
you'll be part of the Rong Clan.
There are clan rules and team leaders.
You don't need to listen to me.
After the Heroes' Gathering ends,
we go our separate ways.
We'll be even.
Does it look like him?
Just like this.
So this is Master Si.
Well hidden.
Captain Zhou, I think I saw the thief
who broke my leg today.
Did he recognize you?
Probably not.
But I remember the medicinal alcohol smell
on him.
Then your chance for revenge has come.
Once we catch them at the gathering tomorrow,
how long would someone like Peach
be sentenced for?
Why are e you asking?
Nothing.
Just curious.
Learned it from the thieves too?
You know, in the old society, there was a saying,
However wronged, do not sue;
however poor, do not become a thief.
No good d people
would apprentice to learn stealing.
So among thieves,
the master doesn't come to claim the disciple.
When you're young,
they give you some benefits,
and you muddle into the trade.
Come in.
Master Si.
Today I saw the police digging up a body by the railway.
It makes me uneasy.
Where's that knife of mine?
It's been ages already.
No idea where it is.
Young Master beat me.
You gave him the idea, right?
Master Si, this isn't fair.
I've been allergic to cat fur since I was a child.
You forced me to kill the cat,
saying anyone who affects my learning of the trade
is my enemy.
In the Rong Clan, your skills are the best,
but there's no choice.
Young Master is the chosen successor of the Rong Clan.
If he doesn't beat you, how can he command respect?
Better make plans early.
You're determined to make me leave the Rong Clan.
People outside are waiting to kill me.
It was you who begged me back then,
so you could live until now.
I know.
Throughout history, the Rong Clan
has always been the master
choosing the disciple.
I'm different.
Because I killed someone.
I begged you to teach me.
How can your hand reverse like that?
A waste not to learn some skills.
Master,
I don't want to leave the Rong Clan.
Even if you go to the Heroes' Gathering,
you can't become the leader.
You still have
to leave the Rong Clan.
Can you give me another chance to stay?
Since you lose, you have to leave.
Accept your fate.
Daring to rebel?
I'll chop your hands off.
You only know these two moves?
Want to kill me?
Don't forget you learned it all from me.
Master Si, save me!
Master Si,
I'm willing to do anything!
I can rece rse my hand, remember?
Young Master wants everyone
to discuss tactics before the Heroes' Gathering.
We're group one.
Group two behind.
Then group three.
Something bad happened.
The Heroes' Gathering can't be held.
Why?
Master Si is dead!
Master Si is dead?
Then the Rong Clan..
The Heroes' Gathering
has turned into a memorial service.
What kind of day is it?
What day?
From now on, it'll be Master Si's death anniversary.
Maybe we should call the police?
Have you lost your mind?
Ever heard of thieves calling the police?
So the police can arrest them?
Will the Heroes' Gathering still be held?
The Rong Clan can't be left without a leader.
Master Si is dead.
None of us is free of responsibility.
Find the killer first.
Postpone the Heroes' Gathering.
If the Heroes' Gathering isn't held,
all the branches will eye Train 161.
The elders haven't spoken.
I'll see who dares to break the rules.
If, as you say, the Heroes' Gathering is postponed
because of Master Si's death..
But the Rong Clan still exists.
Who killed Master Si?
Who will take charge next?
Who will lead the branches?
We don't know anything.
We already know who Shadow Hand and Young Master are.
We'll nab them sooner or later.
If we take down Young Master
before the Heroes' Gathering,
we'll only spook them all
I want to risk it.
The Heroes' Gathering must be held.
How?
I heard trains nationwide are about to increase speed.
The original train numbers
will be changed.
So the territories previously divided by the Rong Clan
won't count anymore.
Shadow Hand and Young Master don't get along.
They'll definitely use this opportunity to fight for territory
and restart the Heroes' Gathering.
We just need to bring this news
to We i jiang ahead of time.
Attention, passengers,
Train No. 161 from Harbin to Guangzhou
will soon be renamed Express Train No. 261.
The total journey time will be reduced
from 65 hours to 55 hours.
We are ushering in a new era
of high-speed Chinese trains.
Find our men.
Board Train 161.
Enter We i jiang.
The Heroes' Gathering
must be held!
Let's do it!
Where are you now?
People's Hospital.
Where did those jerks come from?
a
Boldly boarding Train 161 to seize territory.
They came aiming to kill
Where are Shadow Hand's people?
Master, are you okay?
Get lost!
You okay, bro?
Er bao took a knife for Peach.
He's still inside getting stitches.
Those bastards
came at us with cleavers,
smashing right at our heads.
Er bao.
You alright?
Nine stitches.
Hand tendons are fine.
Talk too much.
Master,
don't be mad at me.
The Rong Clan is unstable now.
I advise you to go solo.
I'm sticking with you.
You're too cunning.
We're not the same.
-Did anyone see my bag? -Master
Who saw my bag?
That bag had the money for my wife's treatment!
Did any of you see it?
Who saw it?
Sir.
When did you notice the money was gone?
I fell asleep.
I don't know.
did anyone approach earlier?
What did he look like?
I really can't remember.
My bag is gone!
Wait here.
I'll get your money back.
Okay,
thanks!
Let's go.
After him.
Where are you from?
That's someone's life-saving money!
Give it back.
Give it back?
There's no such rule.
Now I'll teach you the rules.
As long as the Rong Clan exists,
the rules exist.
Remember,
do not steal from the old or the weak.
It's broken!
kill you!
Enough.
That's enough.
That's enough.
Return the money first.
Peach,
return the money first.
Bro,
Peach found us
Your east-west branch
is overstepping its authority.
Train 161 belongs to you,
and now even We i jiang does too?
So it was you causing trouble, huh?
None of your business.
Stop yapping.
Young Master won't let you off.
When the old man saw
the bag under the seat just now,
he was so happy that his hands were shaking.
Let him think he found it himself.
Back then, when I took in Jiang Mit iao and Er bao,
I thought even if we were thieves,
we'd be different from other thieves.
There's no difference.
A thief is a thief.
I brought this on them.
You should leave.
While your hands are still clean.
I'll follow you always.
You said it yourself,
a disciple should protect
his master.
Get on it.
What are you doing?
Let go of me!
Who are you?
Just a few fingers.
Do it!
No way!
I'll see who dares to touch Peach!
Easy now.
You are trying to rebel?
Think you're something, huh?
Advisor,
what's your say?
Should the Heroes' Gathering be held?
Master Si's body isn't even cold yet.
What Heroes' Gathering?
You've gone too far.
After all, I am the former leader.
How dare you grab my people?
Alright.
Yang Wan xin doesn't plan to hold the Heroes' Gathering.
The train numbers are changing.
The old territories don't count anymore.
Everyone has the right to board train 161.
I can't control it.
Today, the elders are all here.
You gotta give the word.
Do the rules of the Rong Clan
still count or not?
Even if the Heroes' Gathering is held, you can't attend.
You're afraid to lose?
Everyone,
Shadow Hand has indeed contributed to the Rong Clan.
It's normal for the young to be daring and ambitious.
I suggest
holding the Heroes' Gathering in three days,
and electing the new leader of the Rong Clan.
The gold medal will be the top prize.
Everything is for the bigger picture.
Shadow Hand's team will also participate.
We can join the Heroes' Gathering?
Good.
Yang Wan xin,
your people broke the rules.
How do we settle that?
How do you want to settle it?
Chop off a hand.
You know
I raised Peach from childhood.
What if I refuse?
If the rules become a joke,
then the Rong Clan
should just disband.
Chop mine.
Master Si
left me something.
Said he found it ten years ago
by the tracks.
I could hand it over to the police,
or return it to its rightful owner.
I wonder if you
would let my people off.
Sure.
Let me try it.
Nice flask.
Let them go.
Wait for me at the barbershop.
Hey,
see you at the Heroes' Gathering.
Take it.
Now I've returned it to you.
Since you're here,
light some incense.
Nice flask.
Because of this gold medal,
you killed Master Si?
I wanted fairness.
He wouldn't give it.
How didn't he?
Everything you did in the Rong Clan
was at the core.
If you had been patient,
you could have become the next Master Si.
Your own skill
blinded you.
Master Si was my chosen successor.
So I have to interfere.
You want revenge?
You're finished.
Tomorrow,
I'll hand you over to the brothers of the Rong Clan.
I'd rather
handle it right now!
Captain Zhou,
the Heroes' Gathering is in three days.
Just so you know,
Jiang Miti aois dead.
Jiang Mit iao is dead?
How do you know?
The police station informed me.
I am acop.
Why?
Peach, do you want to be a thief your whole life?
Why did he have to die?
Can't you see the fate of being a thief?
Do you think I'm not sad about Jiang Mit iao's death?
They are looking for the murderer.
Peach, I know you're not bad at heart.
You were raised by Maan and had no choice.
But you should know
that as long as the Rong Clan exists,
there will be thieves like Er bao and Jiang Mit iao.
They'd say they also have no choice.
If you continue like this, you can't save them.
You can't save yourself either.
What are you trying to say?
Do the right thing. Stop making mistakes.
Take down the Rong Clan at the Heroes' Gathering.
It'll count as atonement through merit.
Atonement through merit?
Do you think I care about that?
You don't care about yourself,
but don't you care about Er bao?
What do you think he can do after he gets out?
Before, you might not have had a choice.
This time, make your own choice.
Have you thought about it?
You often say "even among thieves, there is honor,
but that's the thieves' code.
The Rong Clan's eight branches scattered across the country
will gather tomorrow
on Train 161 for the Heroes' Gathering.
The sole purpose of our operation this time
is to capture the entire Rong Clan
in one go.
Train No. 161 bound for Guangzhou is about to depart.
Passengers, please check your tickets and board.
Three more stops to We i jiang.
Everyone has seen the sketches.
Look carefully.
Don't rush, alright?
Go ahead.
Let's go, get off.
Get off.
The Heroes' Gathering has changed location.
Galaxy Mall.
Chang,
why here?
The train isn't safe.
Hard to run on the train.
Ten thousand yuan altogether.
Ten thousand.
Go to the eighth floor
To the eighth floor, we need to get ten thousand.
I'll cover five thousand.
The rest is on you.
What do we do now?
Find the people from each branch first.
I'll find a chance to notify Captain Zhou.
Gang zi from north-south branch six.
BE I GUO XUE SONG XI
Misdirection.
Still remember what I I taught you.
What's wrong with you?
Miss, your bag dropped.
Thank you, Sir!
Free tonight?
They always use the honey trap.
Change of plan to Galaxy Mall.
Watch for white elbow markings.
Repeat,
change of plan to Galaxy Mall.
Watch for white markings on the elbows.
How much more?
Still half short.
This one's not bad either.
Let me take a look at that one.
Thanks,
Thank you.
Shadow Hand's team.
Disrupting the balance.
What's going on?
Are you blind?
Testing method.
I'll handle this.
Peach.
Pervert! I'll call the police!
Peach!
North-south branch four, Doggie.
How many more haven't shown themselves?
East-west branch two, Bin.
The hunter is being hunted.
Bin,
how much more?
Almost to the eighth floor.
So impressive!
Bro.
Where are your p people?
Don't need many to deal with you.
As the old saying goes,
a thief loses by one glance.
Go find out
who has the gold medal
Whoever gets the gold medal,
will be the next Master Si.
When will your people arrive?
We need to get the gold medal quickly.
Sorry!
Searched the entire eighth floor.
This person is hiding deep.
Be calm.
Anything hidden can be found.
I know where the gold medal is.
1 AO
It's that limping security guard.
If he really walked like that,
his heels wouldn't be worn out.
Give it to me.
Very well.
Give it to me.
We had an agreement.
If you win, I'll let you lead the east-west branch one.
What else do you want?
I want to be the next Master Si.
After this is over...
My gold medal, you can't take it.
From now on, you'll all listen to me.
You are a cop?
Wait for a backup.
All units, attention.
Begin closing the net.
Those with white markings on their arms
are all suspects.
Let me go!
Chang!
Don't move!
Second Master, Third Master,
Advisor.
Excuse me,
step aside.
Make way, please.
Everyone who was stolen from, check carefully.
If you lost something,
go to the police car to register.
-Got it? -Step aside.
Move to the side, come on.
Quit smirking.
Take them all in.
Be have.
Still don't know what's happening?
Alright, everyone.
Let's clear out.
Nothing to see here.
Disperse,
everyone.
Show's over.
Whose wallet is this?
Make way!
You okay?
Let's go.
Does this count as atonement through merit?
Yes.
Of course it does.
It's almost over.
Peach,
what's wrong?
Lie down.
Prop up your head.
Relax.
Take deep breaths.
Slow your r heart rate.
Is anyone there?
Why panic?
Give all credit
to Er bao.
He can't speak.
He'll be bullied
in prison,
I..
I...
I... I've talked to my mom.
After you get out,
you can work in her clothing shop.
We talked about it that day.
You'd be a female model,
and Jiang Mit iao and I would be male models.
can...
... can stop
being
a thief.
can be
a model.
You will be...
A model.
If you don't want to end up like me,
practice hard.
Hear me?
No eating until you master it.
Come on, Peach.
Drink.
Let's drink.
Anybody here?
Officer,
so heroic.
Have we met before?
I saved a spot for you at the clothing shop.
All of Shadow Hand's informants on our side
have been taken out.
His real identity
has also been uncovered.
His original name is Lin Yue hua.
This kid has a fierce drive.
entered the city's competition his first year learning keyboard.
But the first-place winner mocked him.
Next year, he came back and won the championship.
A Qing Dynasty heavyweight cultural relic was recovered.
The Chinese cultural relics exhibition
will be held in Hai cheng County on May 5, 1998.
This antique gold medal is priceless.
Police seized it last year
when they dismantled the Rong Clan.
The K 18 Express from Zhengzhou to Guangzhou
is approaching the station.
It will stop at Platform Two.
The stop will last for six minutes.
Fire!
Run!
There's a fire!
Watch your safety!
Watch your safety!
Be careful!
You're too late.
I've been waiting.
Want something to drink?
Sorry.
Got a bit angry waiting for you.
Stop right there!
Stop right there!
Stop right there!
Come on!
Stop!
Unit three, unit three,
Shadow Hand is running your way!
Send someone to open the luggage car door.
Unit three, copy.
Careful! Be careful!
Watch your safety, careful!
Almost there.
Captain Zhou.
Unit two, unit three,
anything
on your end?
Move aside.
In an investigation,
you need to keep your eyes and ears open.
It's not as easy
as it might seem.
It's about using your mind to perceive,
to capture external information.
First, I'll dislocate your arm.
Let's see how you run now.
Come on!
Come on!
Can this medicinal wine
really stop the pain?
I'm used to it.
You killed
Master Si and Maan, didn't you?
Lin Yue hua,
you could've used your hands to play keyboard.
There was a chance before.
I gave up on that long ago.
What's your name?
Bi Zhengming.
Good name.
Everyone is
trying to prove they're still alive.
Zheng as in upright,
to live uprightly and honorably.
"Upright and honorable," yet you still hid in a box?
I was waiting for you to slip up.
The gold medal is your obsession.
Your heart has a leak.
Even so,
I still want to try.
I welded the lock core shut.
You like drinking this?
Yes.
It is pretty good.
Bi Zhengming.
Bi Zhengming.
Here.
Bi Zhengming,
what are you trying to prove exactly?
My father told d me
the pursuit of the right path
begins with the rectification of names.
really can't see?
This Ningbo friend,
my eyes may be blind, but my heart
-
What do you want me to divine?
I don't believe in fate.
Then why talk to me?
To mock me?
I'm here to catch thieves.
Like you said,
thieves are everywhere.
Point out the person who brought your me.
with a network of three east-west and five north-south,
plus 72 main trunk lines,
is a prime battleground for all the top players.
What top players?
Thieves?
Among them,
the most legendary
Master Si, the leader of the Rong Clan. He once boasted that
nothing he sets his eyes on is beyond his reach.
Hi, are you alone?
Then come with us.
My mom's cooking is really good.
I'll ask my mom to buy you a soda too.
Mom, I need to pee.
You need to go again?
Easy, now.
Slow down.
Don't step on people.
I bought the soda
to help with your medicine,
yet you drank it all.
Not all of it.
Your health isn't improving,
but you sure learned
how to lie real quick.
Other boys can pee in a bottle.
Why can't you?
Excuse me, Sir.
Coming through.
Hold it.
I can't hold it any longer.
Mom,
what's that?
Thief!
Thief!
Thief!
That's my bag!
Hooked a boy.
Boys are the most valuable.
Grab him first.
I can't hold it anymore!
Help!
Help!
Thank you!
Thank you!
So sorry,
he peed all over you.
Seven years old and still can't hold it.
Thank you!
Thanks!
It's okay.
Thank you!
What's that junk you're holding?
Where'd you find it?
Mom,
I want to be a policeman.
I want to catch thieves.
Ask your dad when we visit his grave,
see if he agrees.
With your weak body,
always crying and wetting yourself,
and you want to be a cop?
You'd probably pee yourself
before even drawing your gun.
I'll flick your forehead three times.
You can be a cop if you don't cry.
I wasn't ready.
Again.
-tut
Bi Zhengming.
Here.
Fresh out of the police academy,
runs fast and is good at combat,
and has top grades in every subject.
The kid says it himself
he only wants to join the anti-pick pocket unit.
Why are you so desperate
to join the anti-pick pocket team?
Captain Zhou,
anti-pick pocket work plays to my strengths.
And catching thieves brings a sense of honor.
You only see the thief feast,
never the beating he gets.
Captain Zhou,
I'm a policeman,
not a thief.
If you're not more cunning than thieves,
how will you catch them?
The tall guy behind me,
what does he look like?
In anti-pick pocket work,
you gotta know how to recognize people.
Stop looking.
You've been staring forever.
He's...
tall.
Alright,
my job is done here.
He's all yours.
Train him well.
Bi Zhengming.
Here.
Who gave you that name?
Captain Zhou,
my dad gave me the name.
He told me to be upright and honorable,
and always speak my mind.
Quite upright and honorable indeed.
Like picking lice off a bald head,
it's obvious at a glance.
Captain Zhou,
why does that mean?
Look at how you walk.
And look at others.
Hey,
turn around.
Pickpocket at three o'clock.
Captain Zhou, how can you tell
if someone is a pickpocket?
Watch and learn.
Hide that righteous look in your eyes.
Sorry, Sir.
I'm really sorry.
Thank you.
I'm sorry.
Two small fries showed up in car thirteen,
messing up the operation.
So are the two up front.
They're getting reckless.
Daring to hit Train 161.
Let's get them.
What's the hurry?
A yogurt, please.
Cops are boarding.
Mr. Zhou is getting on.
Pull back.
Peach says pull back.
The guy I was following earlier
had a gold medal this big.
It's gold.
Are you sure?
Right in the bag he was clutching.
Eh,
let's scout around
and see what's going on.
What about me?
HE
Go chat with that train police officer
and learn about the train situation.
We'll meet in the crew car later.
Captain Zhou,
afraid I'll mess up?
What's the rush?
It's still early.
Ride a few more trains.
If you are still not getting it,
hurry up and switch teams.
Officer,
Captain Zhou asked me to chat with you.
Just graduated from the police academy?
I... I am relaxed.
Is Zhou your mentor?
Oh, not yet.
But the leader asked him to show me the ropes.
Zhou is a good mentor.
He's pretty impressive.
-Really?-He used to catch
at least a dozen thieves
on a single e trip.
The small-time pickpockets all know him well.
They all call him Mr. Zhou.
Let Mr. Zhou deal
with those two small fries.
The last couple of years,
Thank you!
not so much.
He's getting old.
Let's go.
Too much exposure in newspapers and TV.
have learned to steal the core.
What's stealing the core?
It means after they steal the wallet,
they take out the real cash
and replace it
with fake ones,
then put the wallet back.
You won't even notice
until you go to use the money.
By the time you realize it,
the thief is long gone.
They can steal like that?
Of course.
wait a second.
What are you doing?
Walking back and forth past here?
You've got a crush on this
outstanding new graduate?
Interesting, huh?
Already making a move
Captain Zhou,
you're really quick today.
Zhou,
what's this? Taking on a new apprentice,
or a lucky charm?
Then bless me
to nab Master Si soon.
Who's Master Si?
The leader of the Rong Clan.
Zhou,
if you can nab him
before the train speed increases
then you can consider your career made.
I'm counting on you for that.
Don't.
I don't have your sharp eyes
like the Monkey King.
Get me some hot water.
Hurry. Run fast.
My money!
What's wrong, Ma'am?
Did anyone see my money?
Give me back my money!
Take it easy.
Here comes a rookie cop.
How much did you lose?
Were there any suspicious people around just now?
What did that person look like?
Can you describe him or her to me?
This is all the compensation my late husband got!
Those leather shoes,
standard police academy issue.
It's my late husband's pension money!
Were there any suspicious people around here?
Any?
Give it back!
Did you see someone pass by here?
Did you?
Help me!
My husband was gone!
How am I supposed to live?
Give me back my money!
Not even afraid of being scammed?
Here, I have some money.
Take it.
Fresh out of school,
how could he understand that the kind get bullied,
the tame get ridden?
Shut it!
Good deeds bring good rewards, okay?
Er bao.
Give me back my money!
Your money dropped.
That's my money!
Don't worry, everyone.
With us police here,
we will catch all those
heartless thieves.
Good!
Move!
Officer,
so heroic.
This guy really is a lucky charm.
First day on the job and already making a contribution.
Just luck.
Where's my water bottle?
I'll go find it now.
Wait.
Got pickpocketed through your pants pocket?
st day on the job and already paying respects to the local boss?
My wallet's gone!
My student ID is inside.
Must be a female thief.
They are into fresh meat like you.
Think it's funny?
It's funny?
A cop gets robbed and you have the nerve to laugh?
Go find it.
It's alright.
ack in the day, Captain Zhou had his front pocket picked too.
Bro,
there's a bunk available now, bro.
Bro.
Been drinking?
Don't reach out,
or you'll get caught.
Addicted to playing cop?
You may get yourself arrested one day.
If you want to work on the trains,
you have to attend the Heroes' Gathering.
Oh right, I forgot.
Master Si won't let you attend it.
Why won't he let you?
Would he let you compete on his own turf?
Master Si's rule,
whoever spots it first, claims it.
Whoever spots it first, claims it?
Then why bother holding the Heroes' Gathering?
Why mark territories?
Hand over the gold medal.
Hand it over!
I can't give it to you.
Don't cite the rules,
if your skills are inferior.
Not following the rules, huh?
Then I'll break your hands.
Master Si taught you how to pick handcuffs, huh?
If you want to work the trains,
you must attend the Heroes' Gathering.
If you don't follow the rules,
you won't make it anywhere.
Your dad's death for the Rong Clan
doesn't mean you can do whatever you want.
As long as I'm with the Rong Clan,
you will never set foot on a train.
Oh, no!
Oh, no!
My gold medal was stolen.
Gold medal?
What event was it for?
About this big.
I just put it inside.
I woke up and it was gone.
You two,
come with me to the station hotel.
The rest, check the waiting room.
Why's that?
When a thief scores big,
he'll need to transfer immediately.
The next train isn't coming for another two hours.
If he wants to go back, he'll get a room.
Is this you?
Is it stolen?
Then call the police.
Police.
Have you seen a man with a crew cut,
holding a liquor flask?
Room 206.
Police.
Is there a short-haired woman
wearing jeans
staying here?
Her hair's about this long.
Room 404.
You guard the door.
Yes, Sir.
Don't move!
Don't move!
Don't move! Police!
The police academy records are all mine.
Try to outrun me?
TR 550
TPF 1
Not embarrassing.
Look at this.
Haven't I shown you this before?
Oh, my!
Over 40 stitches.
Over 40?
Hmm.
Who doesn't get hurt in our line of work?
Hey, let me tell you,
my leg will definitely heal faster.
Captain Zhou,
once my leg is better, I'll return to the team.
Captain Zhou, right?
Yes.
Have a seat.
I told you that you weren't cut out to be a cop.
See?
First day on the job
and your Achilles tendon gets slashed.
Have some food.
I'm not hungry.
Don't be a cop anymore.
Once your leg's better,
come back and sell clothes with me.
Master Si,
Shadow Hand's cooking skills have now surpassed yours.
Here,
have some.
Not bad. Shadow Hand,
I'm really impressed.
If I had your skills,
I wouldn't be obsessed with the Heroes' Gathering.
Look,
with your skills,
who here can compare?
Advisor.
Right, Young Master?
Haven't had stewed crab with goose in so long.
I really missed it.
Shadow Hand, you got the gold medal, huh?
Here.
Give it to the Young g Master.
You know the rules.
Thank you, Master Si.
You gotta know the rules.
The gold medal
must be worth a fortune, right?
If your team alone takes it all
do you think you can handle it?
Don't say our team is hogging it.
The gold medal is for Master Si.
I don't want it.
The gold medal will determine the winner,
of this Heroes' Gathering.
Shadow Hand,
if you're tired of being a cook,
you can join the Heroes' Gathering.
We can compete on the train,
see if you can snatch the gold medal
from my hands.
You better beg Master Si
to let you attend it.
Why are you stirring up trouble?
Showing off too much.
What have I taught you usually?
Lay low to protect yourself.
If you can't,
your skill is a bomb
that could blow you up at any time.
If it weren't for Shadow Hand keeping our rules in check,
how could you have safely
made your fortune on the trains?
You should thank him.
Anyone who disrupts our rules and unity,
Don't blame me for being ruthless.
Bi Zhengming,
now you can use your disability card to get half-price fares.
Thank you.
Sir...
Sir, don't move.
Let me help you.
Thank you.
My teacher said helping disabled people
could earn a little red flower.
You're not fit for the anti-pick pocket team anymore.
Once you've recovered,
I'll apply for your transfer.
This comrade of mine died
while catching a thief.
Was the murderer caught?
What do you want to do?
I want to stay on the anti-pick pocket team.
Captain Zhou, please let me stay.
Just give up on that thought.
I worked so hard just to become an anti-pick pocket cop.
You can't just kick me out like that.
My leg is almost healed,
you have to believe me!
How do you know I can't do it if you don't give me a chance?
Can you still catch thieves now?
If you can,
I'll let you back on the team.
Come on,
let's close up and go eat.
I'm not going.
What?
Your leg's crippled,
and your spirit's gone too?
You don't understand.
I'm waiting for my opportunity.
Waiting for your opportunity?
You're not waiting for a thief, are you?
There isn't a single soul in the shop.
Why would a thief come?
Morning!
Cleaning up,
Ms. Zhang?
Yes. Start working, Zhengming?
Take it.
70 Yuan.
Perfect.
No change.
Don't move! Police!
I already had him detained.
I was halfway through putting the cuffs on him,
but I didn't even get a clear look at his face.
I just feel so humiliated.
Can it reverse 180 degrees like that?
How could that be possible?
Who hasn't heard of the Rong Clan?
My skills are too poor.
Can't get in.
Knock it off, okay?
Quite strong, huh.
Next time you catch a thief,
be more careful.
Got it.
Go for it, son!
Welcome!
Finally caught you.
Mind your own business.
Nobody moves!
Police!
Hand it over.
A cripple pretending to be a cop?
I'll break your other leg!
You lame cripple!
You think you can be a cop?
Say that again?
Who's breaking whose e leg?
Where is the Rong Clan?
Who is Master Si?
You still don't know anything.
By the time this train ride was over,
the emergency lines
were flooded with calls.
Everyone was asking
what your anti-pick pocket team was even doing!
Have you been on TV too much?
Your entire team are too conceited.
Mr. Zhou,
when are you
going to wipe out the Rong Clan?
Report!
Bi Zhengming requests to return to duty!
I just caught two thieves.
Your disability
might actually be your greatest advantage.
This long period of illness and pain
has stripped away your arrogance.
The limp
also helps conceal your police identity.
First, learn to blend into the crowd.
Then, use your advantages
to find them.
Porn movies,
very exciting.
-Want one? -NO.
Very good!
Want to play?
The hotels nearby are pretty cheap.
What are you looking at?
Go away if you have no money!
Quit loitering around my door.
You're ruining my business.
Dare to steal from me?
Do you not want your hands anymore?
What do you want?
Do you have proof that I stole it?
I saw it with my own eyes!
I clearly saw it!
Excuse me, , Sir,
you can't sleep here.
Trying to steal my territory?
This is not right.
I haven't even said anything about you yet.
You are telling fortunes here,
not afraid of getting arrested?
You've got quite the professional setup.
What are you doing?
Walking back and forth past here?
You've got a crush on this
outstanding new graduate?
When catching thieves,
besides spotting them,
you also need to know how to listen and read situations.
To listen, you must understand their jargon.
Since ancient times,
thieves have worshipped Shi Qian as their patron saint
and called themselves the Rong Clan.
Pickpockets
have their own jargon.
A wealthy person
is called a "heng zi.
A wallet is a "piz i.
Banknotes are "hao zi."
A gold bracelet
is a "kao zi.'
Preparing to act is "ha feng.
Making a move
is "kun feng.
I'm on the road all year round.
Dreams are always the opposite, you know?
Success is "kun zhe.
Being spotted
is "tou feng.
Shi feng means getting caught red-handed.
In the north,
it's called "diao jiao.
The more experienced thieves
often use pouch stealing,
which
requires s rigorous practice,
probing,
opening,
picking,
and pinching.
If someone keeps valuables
in their outer coat pocket,
in their slang, that's called
free giveaway.
Free giveaway.
No matter how well
you hide something,
it's useless.
They also use tricks.
Let's move, Sir.
The honey trap,
the self-injury ploy,
or even a combination of schemes.
Harassment!
You disgusting pervert!
Catching one or two small thieves
doesn't solve the real problem.
The highest level among thieves
is called "tiao bai.
When they steal,
even if the target doesn't show their wealth,
they can still take all their valuables.
further divided into the "upper eight caves" and the "I ower eigh
They're all under Master Si's control.
Only by finding the "tiao bai"
do we have a chance to wipe out the Rong Clan.
The Rong Clan
has a strict hierarchy.
A
Every few years, they hold a competition
to showcase skills
and re divide train territories based on ranking.
This means they have
a set of effective
counter-surveillance tactics tailored against us.
Thank you.
Who told you to target train 161?
Within the Rong Clan, there's a clear division of labor.
For example, there are dedicated teams
to enforce gang rules in their respective territories.
If anyone encroaches on their turf,
the Rong Clan will definitely make an example of them.
Kneel!
Please let us go!
You can take it all!
It's all yours!
The Rong Clan has its rules.
What should be left behind
must be left behind.
We promise we'll never do it again!
You've made so many enemies for the Rong Clan.
Aren't you afraid of karma?
Try leaving Master Si's protection if you dare.
My eyes may be blind, but my heart isn't.
Those who see get a share.
Haven't had any business for a long while.
Tell my fortune.
Let's see...
your mother perished before your father,
right?
My mother is alive and well!
Don't jinx her.
But it's correct.
Your mother,
and the one who perished before was your father.
Isn't that covering both possibilities?
Total fraud.
The speaker may not mean it,
but the listener takes it to heart.
How you interpret it
depends on your state of mind.
You're not a drifter.
Drifters have dead hearts.
Your heart isn't dead.
You've been lurking here for two months.
Looking for someone?
Catching thieves.
Thieves are everywhere.
Can you possibly catch them all?
I want to catch the masters among thieves,
the "tiao bai.
He stole the most valuable thing from my family.
Tiao bai...
I think I've heard that somewhere before.
A small place,
We i jiang.
Yes, We i jiang.
Take it easy.
Mind if I borrow some vinegar?
Master,
I want to attend the Heroes' Gathering.
I've learned your skills,
I need to test them out, right?
You and trains just don't mix.
I still want to try.
Just because you got the gold medal
doesn't mean your skills are better than his.
Besides,
You're someone with blood on your hands.
Luckily,
with veterans like us,
and the vast network under us,
they won't come to you no matter how they investigate.
Peach, you said it yourself,
Drunk fools are stupid,
lovers are blind
what comes right to your door, why not take it? "
Peach,
I was wrong!
I said wrap it up, yet you still made a move.
How dare you disobey me?
How many lashes?
Say it yourself.
five?
Five!
Fifty.
I told you to steal the core, but you just won't listen.
You'll always be
botto m-t ier.
There are so many cops on the train.
If you get caught,
do you want to drag others down
with you?
Two hundred-word self-criticism.
Sorry,
I scared you.
Sun Wukong,
the great hero.
Officer,
so heroic.
You wrote this?
Not bad.
Can't even afford food,
and you're still being charitable.
Accumulating more virtue
never hurts.
Sis,
what did Young Master talk to you about?
Last night, the train heading to the military base
got hit.
Young Master asked us to check
who pulled the job.
500 military coats were stolen.
Even the police can't find out.
Where are we supposed to look?
Different folks,
different strokes.
500 coats,
they can't have gone far.
They can only be sold d locally
Daring to steal al military supplies?
When I find them, I'll skin them alive.
This is affecting our GDP!
Explain to me,
what is GDP?
GDP.
P, P, P!
I didn't beat you hard enough, did I?
Hurry up and finish eating.
Let's go find the goods.
Did you take in any military coats?
I did.
How many?
Whose goods?
Come on, Peach,
you know the rules.
Pass on a message for me.
Tell them Peach requests a meeting.
I can pass the message along,
but whether they agree to meet
is up to them.
Thanks.
Stinking beggar.
If you follow her again,
I'll break your other leg.
Enough.
What do you want?
I want to learn your skills.
Do you know what I do?
Give up.
You're not qualified.
Stop following us.
Otherwise,
if they beat you up,
I can't stop them.
Thank you, Peach.
Heard you were looking for us.
Was it you who pulled the job
swiping 500 military coats?
Shadow Hand's idea?
Just buying the goods from villagers
to resell I them.
Military supplies were stolen.
The entire railway is cracking down.
Why don't you explain it
to Young Master yourself?
What's done can't be undone.
I've made myself f very clear.
I don't think so.
Who knows if you pulled shady tricks
behind the scenes?
You'd better watch your mouth.
If you want to work the trains,
you must first attend the Heroes' Gathering.
Sorry,
I forgot,
you can't attend it.
You are just small-time trash.
Bastard!
If it weren't
for respect for Shadow Hand,
I'd have killed you long ago.
Come on.
How dare you?
Stop fighting!
The police are coming!
Stop fighting!
Can't you understand me?
Stop fighting!
The police a are coming!
He's crazy, , ignore him!
Bastard!
He's crazy, ignore him!
Bro, let's go!
He's crazy, ignore him, come on!
Let's go!
Run!
Stop fighting!
Stop fighting!
Stop fighting!
Go to the hospital.
Xiling Road.
Maan's Barber Shop.
coming!
Thank you, thank you.
Not enough?
Maan,
I know what he wants.
What haircut do you want? anything's fine.
The Bodyguard from Beijing,
Jet Li.
He'll protect you
as a bodyguard, right?
It's normal for a disciple
to protect his master.
Who would push their lifesaver
into a fire pit?
I didn't push him.
He jumped lin himself.
Right, Gimp?
Hmm.
If you want to learn the trade,
it's like boarding a ship.
It won't be easy
to get off.
You have to end up like me.
Are you sure about this?
I don't want to eat leftovers anymore.
You're quite sturdy.
Did you train before?
Used to get into fights.
Trained for a few years.
How'd you become a drifter?
Where are your parents?
My mother perished before my father.
So I ran away.
What's your name?
Everyone e calls me Gimp.
Makes sense.
In our line of work,
you have to forget everything.
Not bad.
sorry.
It's fine.
How did you get the scar on your leg?
Fighting over food with someone,
got stabbed with a knife.
Peach,
come inside and help me thread a needle.
Alright.
Do you know this guy's background?
He is so tough,
carries injuries,
and he's a trained fighter.
How dare you recruit just anyone?
Aren't you afraid of harming the members of the Rong Clan?
Maan,
I promised to teach him the trade.
I didn't say I'd bring him into the Rong Clan.
What are you talking about?
If he learns the trade,
can he avoid joining the Rong Clan?
I promise
I won't send him to work.
In front of the ancestor, you must mean what you say.
It's up to you.
The incense is almost burnt out.
Hope the doors stay open wide.
Gold is taken, felt left inside.
Year by year no charges fall
Even heaven hunts Dongfang Shuo.
Still not talking?
You two deserve to be beaten to death.
It was all my idea.
Master Si,
how about you give a straight answer?
They can't hold on much longer.
Your people broke the clan rules,
cut off our income,
and some brothers got arrested because of it.
Do you think this can just be brushed aside?
I told them to take the goods.
Why don't each of you here
take a stab at me?
Either keep me
or kill me.
I thought you wouldn't dare admit it.
Messing with military supplies,
now there's a crackdown.
Our men can't even board the trains.
Everyone's starving.
Just taking your worthless life doesn't help.
Our Rong Clan values unity,
emphasizes righteousness,
and handles its own affairs.
The goods came from you.
Your subordinates broke the rules.
If you take the blame for them,
then it falls on you.
However,
punishment
is still necessary.
Master Si,
how about this?
30, 000 fine per line.
240, 000 in total?
You're literally extorting us!
Give me three months.
Let me take them away first.
What if you can't pay in three months?
Then what?
Chop off a hand.
And I'll leave the Rong Clan.
Then let's go by the rules.
If you need to make money,
don't do it in We i jiang.
Shadow Hand,
there's one more thing.
If the police can't close the case,
none of us can get back on the trains.
Everyone is waiting.
You need to put forward someone
to take the fall
I'll give you two days.
Make it clean.
Bro,
I'll go.
I'm a minor.
The sentence will be lighter.
Call her sis.
Hmm.
Call me bro:
Hmm.
Call him bro.
Er bao,
open the lock.
Stealing is like
Beijing opera.
It emphasizes hands, eyes, body, technique, and steps.
With these skills,
what's left
is vision.
Find the wallets on the mannequins
in the shortest time possible.
Test your abilities first,
and see if you are suitable for this job.
Starts now.
Be careful with Jerry's head.
Be gentle with women!
My Lisa!
Be gentle with women!
Watch it!
You call this stealing?
This is robbery.
Eight minutes.
You are indeed fast,
but speed is all you have.
You have no skills,
Duck feet?
Duck feet don't have separate toes,
got it?
Then what level do I need to reach?
This set of movements.
Without dismantling the mannequin,
find the wallet on it.
Take out the money
and put the wallet back.
Complete it within three minutes,
and I'll take you to see Young Master.
Stealing the core in three minutes?
That's way too hard.
That's Master Si's standard.
Who's Master Si?
Don't ask what you shouldn't know.
Practice this first.
A coin.
Use two fingers,
put the coin in,
then pinch it out,
without touching the bell.
If you can do it
30 times per minute,
you pass.
Let's go.
You can do it.
Hello? Please page 9527 for me.
Captain Zhou,
I'm at the square phone booth.
You grim p, join me!
I'm talking to you.
I'm over here!
Still haven't seen me?
Don't just go by the face.
I'm right here.
Still haven't seen me?
Think of how I looked before.
Look for clues.
Find the essence.
Doing detective work
means keeping your eyes and ears open.
But don't get distracted.
Don't let your feelings lead you off track.
I am now a disciple of
the person who stole my wallet.
She's started teaching me how to steal.
She didn't recognize you?
I tested her.
She didn't recognize me.
Clan is divided into a network of three east-west and five north
eight branches altogether.
The head of the east-west branches is called Young Master.
The one I'm following now is called Peach,
who answers to Young Master.
She told me
if I can meet her
three-minute requirement,
she'll take me to see Young Master.
As long as Young Master agrees,
I'll have a chance to see Master Si
even attend the Heroes' Gathering.
If I can attend the gathering,
' Ill have a chance to take down the entire Rong Clan in one go.
Find a way
to attend the Heroes' Gathering
Peach.
Hot, hot, hot!
Your hands are like steel rebar.
If you don't soften them up,
you can't master the skill.
Pretty fast.
If you can hold these two needles,
holding anything else won't be a problem.
Knit a scarf.
Got it?
Peach,
what comes after this step?
You can't read this!
Master, you can't read this.
I... I just wrote down some things you taught me.
Why take note of this stuff?
I like great heroes too.
I remember everything you say.
Can Rong Clan techniques be casually recorded?
You're doing an investigation
to fight crime,
not to silently chant slogans.
You even keep a diary?
Why not just paste these words
on your forehead?
Have we met before?
What? You also think..
Er bao said the same thing yesterday.
Get some sleep early.
Where did Master go?
ook Er bao to meet Young Master on Train 161 to get goods.
What goods?
Just keep practicing.
Look how hard he's working.
Of course he is.
The Heroes' Gathering is in three months.
What?
Gimp has some talent.
Have breakfast.
Thanks, sis.
Two months from now,
the Rong Clan is holding a competition
called the Heroes' Gathering.
They will gather
in We i jiang.
Young Master, Bin, these are their nicknames.
We'll figure out
who's responsible for whom then.
We've already reported to the Ministry of Public Security.
The whole country is coordinating.
We aim to take down the Rong Clan in one sweep.
Still short 160, 000.
You've mastered the coin clipping skill.
Next, practice undoing buttons.
It's all delicate work.
Impatience won't get you there.
A real prodigy.
Like this.
You're really something.
I've been practicing since I was a child.
Why did you start young?
I'm an orphan.
If I didn't steal, the traffickers would beat me to death
now what?
For people like you,
with some physical disability, it's actually easier to steal.
People don't see you as a threat.
Sorry, bro.
Don't take it to heart.
Bro, I...
Haven't we met somewhere before?
Master said I resembled a cop she saw once.
You do look like him.
Don't move.
Step one of stealing the core,
undo the button.
Pinch the wallet.
We call it
Dragon Emerges from the Sea.
Step two,
transfer the wallet.
Step three,
pull a switcheroo.
Replace real money
with fake money.
Step four,
return the wallet.
To take something from someone
without them noticing,
the best method
is to divert their attention.
All stealing methods,
no matter how they vary,
their essence
is always to creat a diversion.
This is called misdirection.
What's wrong, Master?
Testing method.
Change the target's body posture
to find an opening.
And there's the temptation method.
The prettier the woman, the more effective it is.
Am I pretty?
But my leg seems to have a cramp.
Is it working?
Feeling better?
There's an old Chinese medicine doctor in the old town.
I'll put in a word for you.
Thank you, Master.
How old are you?
Uh, just over 20.
So young,
and your leg's already broken.
It must be e tough for you.
The place you live in
is too humid.
Tendon adhesion.
You need electro acupuncture
to loosen and unblock
the tendons in your leg.
It'll hurt a bit.
Hey,
Who's talking?
I can teach you a way to avoid pain.
Want to learn?
Yes.
Deep breath.
Deep breath.
I'm doing it.
Focus your attention on the point of pain.
Observe exactly how it hurts.
How deep the pain goes.
The more detailed your observation, the better.
Every detail must be observed thoroughly.
And?
Then there is no more pain sensation.
Your method doesn't work.
It isn't as good as just diverting attention.
I'm already under four minutes.
Can you put in a word with Master for me?
Take me to the Heroes' Gathering.
You've just started.
Why are you always thinking about the Heroes' Gathering?
I just want
to earn some money.
Maybe I can get my leg fixed.
Not a big deal.
I will talk to Peach for you.
When we win, I'll take you on Train 161.
We will make a lot of money together.
Thanks, bro.
Do you think
we can really win at the Heroes' Gathering?
Let me tell you,
in terms of skill,
Awesome!
There's also
Shadow Hand.
Which team is he on?
I haven't heard of him.
They say he is Master Si's closed-door disciple,
eading a separate team that does odd jobs for the Rong Clan.
No future.
Closed-door disciple? He must be a master.
His hands
can rotate
180 degrees.
Heard it's because of a childhood car accident.
He lost his parents,
and his hands didn't heal properly,
that's why he's called Shadow Hand.
His skills
are indeed good
But Master Si won't let him attend the Heroes' Gathering.
They say Master Si helped him greatly in the past.
I don't believe it.
He probably has some dirt on Shadow Hand.
He's jealous that Young Master can work Train 161,
always looking for ways to mess with us.
Captain Zhou,
I suspect Shadow Hand is the one who crippled me.
Do you think I'm getting close to revenge?
How could you say something like that?
This is a society ruled by law now.
If you let hatred blind you,
then what does the social order you uphold amount to?
What was written in the diary you showed me?
Do you still remember?
Put all the thieves behind bars.
Don't forget it.
Still short 70, 000.
If we could get on the trains,
not just 70, 000,
even 700, 000,
we three
could absolutely get it.
Even if not Train 161,
other trains would be fine too.
Look, we're already thieves,
yet we still get bullied.
Isn't that a bit too..?
Master Si,
I still haven't
scraped the 240, 000 together.
Can you help me?
How do you like this place?
Good?
I've been feeling unwell lately.
I've taken a liking
to a house down south.
After this Heroes' Gathering ends,
I'll retire.
Go enjoy my old age.
I'll go with you.
I'll serve you.
Back then you begged me to teach you the trade.
I didn't break my promise.
I taught you everything I should.
I don't want to leave the Rong Clan.
I did so much dirty work for the Rong Clan.
I wouldn't survive outside anyway.
You broke the rules,
which put me in a difficult spot.
Now that you're in trouble,
it wouldn't be right for me not to help.
Take this back first to tide you over.
If people see me helping you,
what will they t think?
Can't let people gossip.
I'm guarding a shipment on Train 161.
Came to let you know.
Just passing through.
It's like taking money from my pocket, isn't it?
Your skills are rusty.
Can't cut through down below.
So you need to get on my train,
I'll cut it for you and deliver it home.
If you can't do it, fine.
Split the escort fee in half.
Just passing through.
Don't you think you're asking a bit much?
Can't scrape together the money?
Afraid of getting your hand chopped?
Don't say I'm bullying the weak.
Call me "Young Master,
and I'll lend it to you.
I can't scrape the money together.
I'll escort
a shipment on Train 161.
Shadow Hand,
why not use this opportunity
to settle things once and for all?
If you win,
you can attend the Heroes' Gathering.
What do you say?
If you lose,
you leave the Rong Clan.
That's your own word.
The so-called "opening eyes
means reading people.
We need to read people
in our line of work too?
If you can't read people,
how do you know who's got money,
where it is,
or how much?
See that guy picking river fish?
It's Hong tashan cigarettes
in his shirt pocket,
and his fingers are yellow.
Two packs a day at least.
He's holding car keys.
Cars need gas, right?
And he only picks wild river fish.
If he doesn't have hundreds on him,
he can't get by a single day.
If I learn to read people,
will you take me to the Heroes' Gathering?
e n't finished training and already want to attend the gathering
Er bao,
watch him.
How about that guy?
The Walkman's new.
The shades and the watch look pricey too.
Is he rich?
Fake watch.
He can't afford a real one.
To know who's rich,
you've gotta know the goods first.
Listen to that ring,
sharp and long.
Gold?
You bet.
A gift for Young Master.
X LER
Does that guy look loaded?
Damn it! The human trafficker!
What human trafficker?
He's the one who abducted us!
Er bao became mute because of him!
Don't rush.
You keep watch.
Let Gimp scout
and find a rich guy.
I'll be right back.
Anyone?
It's time for a real test for you.
I want some vegetables.
Who'd you come to the market with?
That guy just lifted your wallet.
What the...
Stole my wallet?
Which one?
The guy with glasses.
What are you doing?
Women's underwear?
Everyone, look!
Catch this pervert!
He stole women's underwear!
Beat the pervert!
Beat him!
Don't kill him!
Er bao,
Enough.
Call the cops.
One less pest in the world.
Well done!
Today Er bao and I got our revenge.
Let me know you,
Gimp is a true brother.
I acknowledge him!
From now on, you are with me!
Captain Zhou,
would you call this
honor among thieves?
Think you're living in a martial arts fiction?
Gonna master the craft
and then rob the rich to help the poor with them?
I over-deliver ed
the job you gave me!
I want... I want the yellow one.
Not bad, kid.
Good skills.
It sucks.
Can you use a four-character phrase
to describe my beauty?
Very, very, very beautiful.
Four characters.
Uneducated.
Then you say something.
Peach is prettier
than the mannequins in the boutique.
Of course.
You can say that again.
Peach is absolutely stunning.
Er bao says
we should open a clothing shop.
With Peach standing at the door,
we'd be rolling in!
I'll be a model then.
Gimp too.
We'll all carry
a cell phone
and drive a Santana.
Er bao
rides shotgun.
And
Peach and Gimp, you two sit in the back.
Then we'll
cruise around the city.
We shouldn't do this anymore.
Let's start a business.
Let's stop stealing.
Let's not do this anymore, okay?
I won't be a thief anymore.
I'll make a fortune.
I'll...
Peach, I'm drunk.
I drank too much.
We're all drunk.
I....
Joking is one thing,
I'm drunk.
but once you're in the Rong Clan,
you can't
just leave
at any time
you want.
The Heroes' Gathering is in a couple of days.
You two need to rein it in.
Master,
let me try one more time.
Dragon Emerges from the Sea.
Two Immortals Deliver the Dao.
Steal the Beam and Replace the Pillar.
Return the Jade Intact to Zhao.
I'm really drunk.
How long?
Three minutes and fifteen seconds!
Er bao.
Bro.
Does this mean I've completed my training?
Master?
I said under three minutes.
Even one second over is not acceptable.
Master, trust me.
Let me go to the Heroes' Gathering.
I won't hold you back. I..
I'll say this one last time.
If you see me as your master,
then don't go.
Peach just won't allow you to complete your training.
I was 15 seconds short.
Er bao, let's head back too.
Tomorrow we still
we still need to help Young Master
deal with Shadow Hand on the train.
Er bao, keep an eye on him.
Your ticket.
Wake up.
Ticket check.
The police academy records are all mine.
Try to outrun me?
Beer, soft drinks, bottled water,
sunflower seeds, peanuts, and instant noodles.
Excuse me, please make way.
Watch your feet.
Beer, soft drinks, bottled water,
sunflower seeds, peanuts, and instant noodles.
A gift for Young Master.
Sharp and long.
Gold?
Can't hold it anymore.
Going to the restroom.
A man in a yellow jacket and black pants
has passed out in the restroom!
Is he with you?
Excuse me.
Stop pushing!
Who did this?
Shadow Hand,
don't ever board my train again.
Too many thieves on board.
Keep your belongings secure.
What's up, dude?
A colleague?
What my master wants, you can't take.
Who is your master?
You don't even know my master Peach,
and you dare board Train 161?
Peach is from my team.
My apologies!
A fast learner indeed.
Your disciple?
Master.
Well-trained.
He hasn't finished his training yet.
Consider his training done.
Take him to the Heroes Gathering tomorrow.
Thank you, Young Master.
Well, I just wanted to..
are your eyes okay?
It was Master Si who gave him the tips.
Master Si is biased.
Bro,
aren't we just too pathetic?
We lost the gold medal,
and now the bronze mirror too.
Is it really that hard to get to the Heroes' Gathering?
Even without attending the Heroes' Gathering,
life can still be good.
We also have skills,
so why do we have to do the dirty work?
Catch the thief!
Catch the thief!
So young and already looking to end up in jail?
Get up.
When you leave,
don't forget to take the gold medal.
Tomorrow is the Heroes' Gathering.
Times are changing.
Banks in the south have installed surveillance.
It's only a matter of time before trains have them too.
Maan,
come with me.
I have nothing to do with the Rong Clan anymore.
I could only find my own opportunity.
Master Si.
What are you staring at?
Go in.
Master, I was wrong.
I shouldn't have
boarded the train without your permission.
I just wanted to be with you guys
to see Master Si.
That'd be exciting.
You've already seen him.
Once you finish your training,
you'll be part of the Rong Clan.
There are clan rules and team leaders.
You don't need to listen to me.
After the Heroes' Gathering ends,
we go our separate ways.
We'll be even.
Does it look like him?
Just like this.
So this is Master Si.
Well hidden.
Captain Zhou, I think I saw the thief
who broke my leg today.
Did he recognize you?
Probably not.
But I remember the medicinal alcohol smell
on him.
Then your chance for revenge has come.
Once we catch them at the gathering tomorrow,
how long would someone like Peach
be sentenced for?
Why are e you asking?
Nothing.
Just curious.
Learned it from the thieves too?
You know, in the old society, there was a saying,
However wronged, do not sue;
however poor, do not become a thief.
No good d people
would apprentice to learn stealing.
So among thieves,
the master doesn't come to claim the disciple.
When you're young,
they give you some benefits,
and you muddle into the trade.
Come in.
Master Si.
Today I saw the police digging up a body by the railway.
It makes me uneasy.
Where's that knife of mine?
It's been ages already.
No idea where it is.
Young Master beat me.
You gave him the idea, right?
Master Si, this isn't fair.
I've been allergic to cat fur since I was a child.
You forced me to kill the cat,
saying anyone who affects my learning of the trade
is my enemy.
In the Rong Clan, your skills are the best,
but there's no choice.
Young Master is the chosen successor of the Rong Clan.
If he doesn't beat you, how can he command respect?
Better make plans early.
You're determined to make me leave the Rong Clan.
People outside are waiting to kill me.
It was you who begged me back then,
so you could live until now.
I know.
Throughout history, the Rong Clan
has always been the master
choosing the disciple.
I'm different.
Because I killed someone.
I begged you to teach me.
How can your hand reverse like that?
A waste not to learn some skills.
Master,
I don't want to leave the Rong Clan.
Even if you go to the Heroes' Gathering,
you can't become the leader.
You still have
to leave the Rong Clan.
Can you give me another chance to stay?
Since you lose, you have to leave.
Accept your fate.
Daring to rebel?
I'll chop your hands off.
You only know these two moves?
Want to kill me?
Don't forget you learned it all from me.
Master Si, save me!
Master Si,
I'm willing to do anything!
I can rece rse my hand, remember?
Young Master wants everyone
to discuss tactics before the Heroes' Gathering.
We're group one.
Group two behind.
Then group three.
Something bad happened.
The Heroes' Gathering can't be held.
Why?
Master Si is dead!
Master Si is dead?
Then the Rong Clan..
The Heroes' Gathering
has turned into a memorial service.
What kind of day is it?
What day?
From now on, it'll be Master Si's death anniversary.
Maybe we should call the police?
Have you lost your mind?
Ever heard of thieves calling the police?
So the police can arrest them?
Will the Heroes' Gathering still be held?
The Rong Clan can't be left without a leader.
Master Si is dead.
None of us is free of responsibility.
Find the killer first.
Postpone the Heroes' Gathering.
If the Heroes' Gathering isn't held,
all the branches will eye Train 161.
The elders haven't spoken.
I'll see who dares to break the rules.
If, as you say, the Heroes' Gathering is postponed
because of Master Si's death..
But the Rong Clan still exists.
Who killed Master Si?
Who will take charge next?
Who will lead the branches?
We don't know anything.
We already know who Shadow Hand and Young Master are.
We'll nab them sooner or later.
If we take down Young Master
before the Heroes' Gathering,
we'll only spook them all
I want to risk it.
The Heroes' Gathering must be held.
How?
I heard trains nationwide are about to increase speed.
The original train numbers
will be changed.
So the territories previously divided by the Rong Clan
won't count anymore.
Shadow Hand and Young Master don't get along.
They'll definitely use this opportunity to fight for territory
and restart the Heroes' Gathering.
We just need to bring this news
to We i jiang ahead of time.
Attention, passengers,
Train No. 161 from Harbin to Guangzhou
will soon be renamed Express Train No. 261.
The total journey time will be reduced
from 65 hours to 55 hours.
We are ushering in a new era
of high-speed Chinese trains.
Find our men.
Board Train 161.
Enter We i jiang.
The Heroes' Gathering
must be held!
Let's do it!
Where are you now?
People's Hospital.
Where did those jerks come from?
a
Boldly boarding Train 161 to seize territory.
They came aiming to kill
Where are Shadow Hand's people?
Master, are you okay?
Get lost!
You okay, bro?
Er bao took a knife for Peach.
He's still inside getting stitches.
Those bastards
came at us with cleavers,
smashing right at our heads.
Er bao.
You alright?
Nine stitches.
Hand tendons are fine.
Talk too much.
Master,
don't be mad at me.
The Rong Clan is unstable now.
I advise you to go solo.
I'm sticking with you.
You're too cunning.
We're not the same.
-Did anyone see my bag? -Master
Who saw my bag?
That bag had the money for my wife's treatment!
Did any of you see it?
Who saw it?
Sir.
When did you notice the money was gone?
I fell asleep.
I don't know.
did anyone approach earlier?
What did he look like?
I really can't remember.
My bag is gone!
Wait here.
I'll get your money back.
Okay,
thanks!
Let's go.
After him.
Where are you from?
That's someone's life-saving money!
Give it back.
Give it back?
There's no such rule.
Now I'll teach you the rules.
As long as the Rong Clan exists,
the rules exist.
Remember,
do not steal from the old or the weak.
It's broken!
kill you!
Enough.
That's enough.
That's enough.
Return the money first.
Peach,
return the money first.
Bro,
Peach found us
Your east-west branch
is overstepping its authority.
Train 161 belongs to you,
and now even We i jiang does too?
So it was you causing trouble, huh?
None of your business.
Stop yapping.
Young Master won't let you off.
When the old man saw
the bag under the seat just now,
he was so happy that his hands were shaking.
Let him think he found it himself.
Back then, when I took in Jiang Mit iao and Er bao,
I thought even if we were thieves,
we'd be different from other thieves.
There's no difference.
A thief is a thief.
I brought this on them.
You should leave.
While your hands are still clean.
I'll follow you always.
You said it yourself,
a disciple should protect
his master.
Get on it.
What are you doing?
Let go of me!
Who are you?
Just a few fingers.
Do it!
No way!
I'll see who dares to touch Peach!
Easy now.
You are trying to rebel?
Think you're something, huh?
Advisor,
what's your say?
Should the Heroes' Gathering be held?
Master Si's body isn't even cold yet.
What Heroes' Gathering?
You've gone too far.
After all, I am the former leader.
How dare you grab my people?
Alright.
Yang Wan xin doesn't plan to hold the Heroes' Gathering.
The train numbers are changing.
The old territories don't count anymore.
Everyone has the right to board train 161.
I can't control it.
Today, the elders are all here.
You gotta give the word.
Do the rules of the Rong Clan
still count or not?
Even if the Heroes' Gathering is held, you can't attend.
You're afraid to lose?
Everyone,
Shadow Hand has indeed contributed to the Rong Clan.
It's normal for the young to be daring and ambitious.
I suggest
holding the Heroes' Gathering in three days,
and electing the new leader of the Rong Clan.
The gold medal will be the top prize.
Everything is for the bigger picture.
Shadow Hand's team will also participate.
We can join the Heroes' Gathering?
Good.
Yang Wan xin,
your people broke the rules.
How do we settle that?
How do you want to settle it?
Chop off a hand.
You know
I raised Peach from childhood.
What if I refuse?
If the rules become a joke,
then the Rong Clan
should just disband.
Chop mine.
Master Si
left me something.
Said he found it ten years ago
by the tracks.
I could hand it over to the police,
or return it to its rightful owner.
I wonder if you
would let my people off.
Sure.
Let me try it.
Nice flask.
Let them go.
Wait for me at the barbershop.
Hey,
see you at the Heroes' Gathering.
Take it.
Now I've returned it to you.
Since you're here,
light some incense.
Nice flask.
Because of this gold medal,
you killed Master Si?
I wanted fairness.
He wouldn't give it.
How didn't he?
Everything you did in the Rong Clan
was at the core.
If you had been patient,
you could have become the next Master Si.
Your own skill
blinded you.
Master Si was my chosen successor.
So I have to interfere.
You want revenge?
You're finished.
Tomorrow,
I'll hand you over to the brothers of the Rong Clan.
I'd rather
handle it right now!
Captain Zhou,
the Heroes' Gathering is in three days.
Just so you know,
Jiang Miti aois dead.
Jiang Mit iao is dead?
How do you know?
The police station informed me.
I am acop.
Why?
Peach, do you want to be a thief your whole life?
Why did he have to die?
Can't you see the fate of being a thief?
Do you think I'm not sad about Jiang Mit iao's death?
They are looking for the murderer.
Peach, I know you're not bad at heart.
You were raised by Maan and had no choice.
But you should know
that as long as the Rong Clan exists,
there will be thieves like Er bao and Jiang Mit iao.
They'd say they also have no choice.
If you continue like this, you can't save them.
You can't save yourself either.
What are you trying to say?
Do the right thing. Stop making mistakes.
Take down the Rong Clan at the Heroes' Gathering.
It'll count as atonement through merit.
Atonement through merit?
Do you think I care about that?
You don't care about yourself,
but don't you care about Er bao?
What do you think he can do after he gets out?
Before, you might not have had a choice.
This time, make your own choice.
Have you thought about it?
You often say "even among thieves, there is honor,
but that's the thieves' code.
The Rong Clan's eight branches scattered across the country
will gather tomorrow
on Train 161 for the Heroes' Gathering.
The sole purpose of our operation this time
is to capture the entire Rong Clan
in one go.
Train No. 161 bound for Guangzhou is about to depart.
Passengers, please check your tickets and board.
Three more stops to We i jiang.
Everyone has seen the sketches.
Look carefully.
Don't rush, alright?
Go ahead.
Let's go, get off.
Get off.
The Heroes' Gathering has changed location.
Galaxy Mall.
Chang,
why here?
The train isn't safe.
Hard to run on the train.
Ten thousand yuan altogether.
Ten thousand.
Go to the eighth floor
To the eighth floor, we need to get ten thousand.
I'll cover five thousand.
The rest is on you.
What do we do now?
Find the people from each branch first.
I'll find a chance to notify Captain Zhou.
Gang zi from north-south branch six.
BE I GUO XUE SONG XI
Misdirection.
Still remember what I I taught you.
What's wrong with you?
Miss, your bag dropped.
Thank you, Sir!
Free tonight?
They always use the honey trap.
Change of plan to Galaxy Mall.
Watch for white elbow markings.
Repeat,
change of plan to Galaxy Mall.
Watch for white markings on the elbows.
How much more?
Still half short.
This one's not bad either.
Let me take a look at that one.
Thanks,
Thank you.
Shadow Hand's team.
Disrupting the balance.
What's going on?
Are you blind?
Testing method.
I'll handle this.
Peach.
Pervert! I'll call the police!
Peach!
North-south branch four, Doggie.
How many more haven't shown themselves?
East-west branch two, Bin.
The hunter is being hunted.
Bin,
how much more?
Almost to the eighth floor.
So impressive!
Bro.
Where are your p people?
Don't need many to deal with you.
As the old saying goes,
a thief loses by one glance.
Go find out
who has the gold medal
Whoever gets the gold medal,
will be the next Master Si.
When will your people arrive?
We need to get the gold medal quickly.
Sorry!
Searched the entire eighth floor.
This person is hiding deep.
Be calm.
Anything hidden can be found.
I know where the gold medal is.
1 AO
It's that limping security guard.
If he really walked like that,
his heels wouldn't be worn out.
Give it to me.
Very well.
Give it to me.
We had an agreement.
If you win, I'll let you lead the east-west branch one.
What else do you want?
I want to be the next Master Si.
After this is over...
My gold medal, you can't take it.
From now on, you'll all listen to me.
You are a cop?
Wait for a backup.
All units, attention.
Begin closing the net.
Those with white markings on their arms
are all suspects.
Let me go!
Chang!
Don't move!
Second Master, Third Master,
Advisor.
Excuse me,
step aside.
Make way, please.
Everyone who was stolen from, check carefully.
If you lost something,
go to the police car to register.
-Got it? -Step aside.
Move to the side, come on.
Quit smirking.
Take them all in.
Be have.
Still don't know what's happening?
Alright, everyone.
Let's clear out.
Nothing to see here.
Disperse,
everyone.
Show's over.
Whose wallet is this?
Make way!
You okay?
Let's go.
Does this count as atonement through merit?
Yes.
Of course it does.
It's almost over.
Peach,
what's wrong?
Lie down.
Prop up your head.
Relax.
Take deep breaths.
Slow your r heart rate.
Is anyone there?
Why panic?
Give all credit
to Er bao.
He can't speak.
He'll be bullied
in prison,
I..
I...
I... I've talked to my mom.
After you get out,
you can work in her clothing shop.
We talked about it that day.
You'd be a female model,
and Jiang Mit iao and I would be male models.
can...
... can stop
being
a thief.
can be
a model.
You will be...
A model.
If you don't want to end up like me,
practice hard.
Hear me?
No eating until you master it.
Come on, Peach.
Drink.
Let's drink.
Anybody here?
Officer,
so heroic.
Have we met before?
I saved a spot for you at the clothing shop.
All of Shadow Hand's informants on our side
have been taken out.
His real identity
has also been uncovered.
His original name is Lin Yue hua.
This kid has a fierce drive.
entered the city's competition his first year learning keyboard.
But the first-place winner mocked him.
Next year, he came back and won the championship.
A Qing Dynasty heavyweight cultural relic was recovered.
The Chinese cultural relics exhibition
will be held in Hai cheng County on May 5, 1998.
This antique gold medal is priceless.
Police seized it last year
when they dismantled the Rong Clan.
The K 18 Express from Zhengzhou to Guangzhou
is approaching the station.
It will stop at Platform Two.
The stop will last for six minutes.
Fire!
Run!
There's a fire!
Watch your safety!
Watch your safety!
Be careful!
You're too late.
I've been waiting.
Want something to drink?
Sorry.
Got a bit angry waiting for you.
Stop right there!

Come on!
Stop!
Unit three, unit three,
Shadow Hand is running your way!
Send someone to open the luggage car door.
Unit three, copy.
Careful! Be careful!
Watch your safety, careful!
Almost there.
Captain Zhou.
Unit two, unit three,
anything
on your end?
Move aside.
In an investigation,
you need to keep your eyes and ears open.
It's not as easy
as it might seem.
It's about using your mind to perceive,
to capture external information.
First, I'll dislocate your arm.
Let's see how you run now.
Come on!
Come on!
Can this medicinal wine
really stop the pain?
I'm used to it.
You killed
Master Si and Maan, didn't you?
Lin Yue hua,
you could've used your hands to play keyboard.
There was a chance before.
I gave up on that long ago.
What's your name?
Bi Zhengming.
Good name.
Everyone is
trying to prove they're still alive.
Zheng as in upright,
to live uprightly and honorably.
"Upright and honorable," yet you still hid in a box?
I was waiting for you to slip up.
The gold medal is your obsession.
Your heart has a leak.
Even so,
I still want to try.
I welded the lock core shut.
You like drinking this?
Yes.
It is pretty good.
Bi Zhengming.
Bi Zhengming.
Here.
Bi Zhengming,
what are you trying to prove exactly?
My father told d me
the pursuit of the right path
begins with the rectification of names.
really can't see?
This Ningbo friend,
my eyes may be blind, but my heart
-
What do you want me to divine?
I don't believe in fate.
Then why talk to me?
To mock me?
I'm here to catch thieves.
Like you said,
thieves are everywhere.
Point out the person who brought your me.
