[Episode 4]
[Water. Printing Service]
(Honestly,)
(I'd never really tried running away before.)
(So,)
(I did my best to recall what I'd seen on television.)
[Rule No.1: Don't show your face.]
Thank you.
Why are we eating discarded leftovers?
Because it's free!
[Rule No. 2: When on the run, money is essential.]
Can you pick up the ball for me?
[Rule No. 3: Mind your own business.]
[Definitely Not Today]
We had three thousand yuan originally.
We spent three hundred at the hotel yesterday.
That means we can't go far.
(I'm starting to miss my sleep.)
(Compared to Zhi Liao,)
(I yearn to be with it more.)
(Forever.)
What are you doing?
(On this day,)
(I had so many opportunities to leave Zhi Liao.)
(But I don't know why)
(I ended up wasting them all.)
(This)
(was the first.)
When I came out of the bar last time,
I followed them here.
I brought Jin Jie here later.
I'll keep a lookout.
You know what I want.
Qi... Qiang.
It was Zhi Liao!
Zhi Liao and a boy beat me up.
They even stole your bird.
I thought you couldn't walk.
I'm not like you.
A sheltered weakling.
So frail.
Aren't you the same?
I'm not!
These are my
battle scars.
Sounds foolish.
(I can't hide here with him forever.)
(Jin Jie might find us at any moment.)
(We have to make some changes.)
Sir.
A haircut, please.
What?
Is it very ugly?
A little.
What about me?
What changes should I make?
What's there for you to change?
They don't even know you.
Are you alright?
Let's rest for a while.
(We can't stay here.)
(Where else can we go?)
(Is there anywhere Jin Jie doesn't know about?)
(Go... home?)
(Forget it.)
This necklace is very important to you, isn't it?
My grandma gave it to me.
But she...
Passed away.
What are you talking about?
She's totally fine.
Don't jinx her.
She sends food to me every month
without fail.
Why don't you go to her then?
(Because of something.)
It's been too long since I last went back.
It will be even longer
if you don't go back now.
(Home.)
Have you found that boy who's with her?
[Mi Chong]
I want to see him tomorrow.
Have you seen him?
No.
Who is he?
Look carefully!
Search all platforms
and ticket booths
at least once.
Okay.
[South Plaza]
I still don't feel safe.
We need somewhere safe to stay
and you have it in your mind.
How much money do you have left?
What about you?
What about the envelope?
We can't use that now.
That's for emergencies.
Isn't this an emergency?
If you only spend it instead of making more,
it'll be gone in no time.
(Being a runaway,)
(money is always a problem.)
Take this.
Look after it.
Wait for me to come back. Don't move.
(The second chance I had to leave Zhi Liao)
(came earlier than I expected.)
Shui,
have you found Qiang's bird?
I heard that Zhi Liao took it away by accident.
(She's really careless.)
Mister,
do you want to buy this scooter?
How do you suppose
she can be so casual about her life?
No, thanks.
Alright.
(She's really ungrateful.)
(Living off us to benefit herself.)
Here.
Thank you.
Take care.
(Qiang really intends to get rid of her.)
It's a pity that Jin Jie
probably didn't expect to be ruined by her.
(That's true.)
(He was happily out eating and drinking two days ago.)
(Now he can only lie there.)
(Jin Jie.)
(Is he...)
(Is he dead?)
(He... he...)
(might just have fainted.)
(Don't talk nonsense.)
(If you don't want to end up like him, you'd better focus.)
(Quickly bring that traitor and the boy to me.)
Have you sold it?
(Selling that random scooter)
(must have taken up a lot of time.)
Not too bad.
Let's go.
The bus is leaving.
That day...
Did you really hear his heartbeat that day?
Yes.
(Liar.)
Then tell me,
Is it 'thump, thump',
or 'thump thump thump'?
How did it go?
I forgot.
You didn't hear anything.
Did you?
(Perhaps I shouldn't hide it from her anymore.)
I didn't hear it.
You told me he didn't die.
We just left like that.
I left his body there.
How did you do it?
Last night after what happened,
you behaved like
nothing had happened.
How could you...
How could you have witnessed someone's death
and carry on as if nothing have happened?
Didn't you feel anything at all?
(It wasn't that I didn't feel anything.)
So what?
Everyone dies.
What did you say?
Everyone dies.
We're all the same.
It's just a matter of time.
Don't you think you're behaving very childishly now?
If you're really that upset,
you shouldn't have killed him then.
Neither of us would be in this terrible state now.
That's right.
I shouldn't have picked up that vase.
I should have let him kill you.
I'd be able to get rid of two jerks then.
I didn't ask for your help.
You were being nosy.
(I shouldn't have said that.)
(The third chance today)
(has finally realized my plan to leave Zhi Liao.)
(Passively.)
(I'm really a lucky guy.)
(I can't believe it.)
(Jin Jie died because of me.)
(All of these really make me sad.)
(The fight.)
(The murder.)
(Even sadder?)
(Being lied to again.)
[Tea]
(Was it wrong of me)
(to have trusted him?)
(When I was with Zhi Liao,)
(I did many things against my will.)
(How strange.)
(Most of the time,)
(I'm a very good-natured person.)
(I mean,)
(most of the time.)
(Perhaps it's not that I don't have a bad temper,)
(I just never dared to say it.)
(I don't know why, but after meeting her,)
(I started to have a temper.)
(I never imagined)
(that I'd be jealous of Jin Jie.)
(Even though he was a good-for-nothing,)
(there are still people mourning over his death.)
(Will anyone mourn over me)
(and be sad when I die?)
(Finally, no one's following me.)
(But getting rid of Zhi Liao)
(doesn't make me as happy as I thought I'd be.)
(When she was around,)
(I wasn't used to having a company.)
(Now that she's gone,)
(I'm not used to being alone.)
(It turns out)
(even though I spent twenty years of my life alone,)
(when I have to be alone again,)
(I still need time to get used to it.)
(This is the last thing I realized)
(just before I die.)
(Wait.)
(Why would Zhi Liao suddenly have thought of that guy?)
(Did something happen to her)
(at the train station?)
(Or did she meet anyone?)
(Will she be in danger?)
(Perhaps,)
(I need to figure it out first.)
Hello.
Thank you for the tea.
You said that you are...?
[Lu Ming, After Juvenile Offenders, Social Worker, Investigator, Prosecutor]
You can call me Lu Ming.
You've met the owner of this cellphone before, haven't you?
Do you know where she is now?
This...
This girl...
is someone we've been observing for some time.
I came here, first of all,
to find out how she's been doing.
Secondly,
there's something extremely important
that I'm obliged to tell her.
There'll be trouble
if I don't do it in time, I'm afraid.
