【Kiwi First | FULL】Beneath the Undertow EP18 | 暗潮缉凶 | iQIYI
[Beneath the Undertow] [Episode 18] Take a rest, guys. Rest? It’s the final battle. We’re heading to Qianlong Bay right now. Any findings? Look, this is a main road
connecting Qingzhou and Lingchuan. Hu Xiangze’s car went passed this road at about 6 p.m. on June 19. It showed up again around midnight, heading to the opposite direction. It means he came back to Lingchuan, stayed a few hours and left. Good work. You guessed it right. He’s coming out. Captain Lian,
Hu Xiangze left the building, with nothing in his hands. It looks like he’s heading home. Keep watch on him. Don’t lose him halfway. Got it. Let’s go. Yue Chunxia wants to keep the baby. It means she still loves Hu Xiangze. Will she spill the truth? She has to. I just saw your wife and your son. What are they doing here? Don’t worry about it. Give me a tea cookie. None are left. Is everything okay? Qi, look at that car in front. If you are to pick its lock, how would you describe the work, delicate or rough? It needs no heavy tool. It’s delicate work. D-Delicate. Zheng, my mother wants me to quit my job and become a full-time locksmith. A locksmith in my neighborhood is said to have bought two apartments. Yeah. It sounds nice. Locksmiths aren’t usually busy. The pay is decent. It’s also very convenient for you to complete
registration with the police. Exactly. With your skills, you’ll be overqualified for
a locksmith’s job, right? The Almighty Qi is capable of everything. Cut it out. I only want to be a cop. I wouldn’t trade this moment for anything. I know. Can you hear me? Yes. The police have found her. She is a bit panicked. You know who I’m talking about, right? Yeah. I’ll bring her along tonight. Take care of the rest, will you? Sure. Wait. How dare you attack police officers? Mr. Li must be feeling desperate now! Stop there. Did you get hurt? Let’s go find Yue Chunxia. Why is she leaving in such a hurry? Where is Yue Chunxia? I understand. A young lady would like a complete family and a happy life with her children and the love of her life. There’s nothing wrong with it. But the premise is that this person truly loves you back, that he also wants to
have a baby with you, and that he aspires for
the same kind of life. Do you two share the same goal? You’re too young. You may have not thought that far. Even if you can have that kind of life, with huge secrets and enormous guilt weighing on your heart, you’ll never be truly happy. The guilt won’t fade as time goes by. The pressure will keep mounting. After all, Shen Xiaozhou was your best friend. [Xiangze] We’ve been watching him for a while. He won’t be able to get away. Hey, Chunxia, are you ready? I can’t pick you up right now. Take a cab and come here on your own. Do you hear me, Chunxia? The reception is fine. Chunxia, why don’t you say something
now that you can hear me? You’re not getting cold feet, are you? Chunxia, listen up. I got you a passport already. We’ll go to a beautiful place where we won’t be disturbed or bothered by anything. Think about it. For the sake of our baby, you must listen to me and leave with me right away. Do you understand? Don’t be silly, alright? You’re not leaving with me then, are you? Anyway, don’t spill a word to the police. I’m telling you, I can’t help if you make a misstep. I’ll give you one last chance. I’ll wait an hour for you. Hu Xiangze gave this to you, right? Just a small gift, my lucky crystal. He had my name engraved on it. Did he give it to you
after Shen Xiaozhou’s death? What Shen Xiaozhou went through was not the regular type of rape. She was assaulted by a smooth
multi-faceted cylindrical object. What’s going on? Why are they taking Chunxia away? Chunxia! When did your father realize the truth? Keep quiet if you want. By the time we first visited your home, he had found it out, right? Dad. What should I do? I really don’t know what to do. What did Chief Qiu say? That we’d take action and make arrests at the same time. You bring her back to the office. I’ll go to Xuri Factory. Okay. Mr. Hu, where are you going? Someone’s waiting for you, right? Don’t worry. We’ll go there in your stead. Commander Feng. Nothing has happened so far. All the exits have been blocked. As long as he’s here,
he can’t go anywhere. The man inside, come out! Do you know where Li Longhe is? I don’t know. Captain. Commander Feng. -Nobody’s here!
-Nobody’s here! Commander Feng. Search every inch of the farm. Yes. Captain Zhao, we couldn’t find him. Sir, no finding. How is that possible? Sir, no finding. After dinner, Li Longhe even plucked two cucumbers
from the garden. Not a car left this place. Now, ask the municipal bureau to set up checkpoints on the roads, railways and in airports and docks. Got it. Mister, are you a local? Yes, I am. I remember
there’s a bomb shelter in Qianlong Bay. Do you know about it? It’s over there, a few miles away. It has long been abandoned. Even the entrance has been shut. You can’t get in it. Have you been in the shelter before? Where does it extend to? I’ve been in the shelter. It’s quite deep. It’s hard to tell directions. It takes about 30 minutes
to reach the end. Can you take me there? Sure. Good. You guys keep searching. Leave no stone unturned. Go look for a tunnel. Tunnel? Where does it lead to? The bomb shelter. The bomb shelter… That must be a big project. Did you get a license for it? I wouldn’t put anything past those people. You all come with me. If the bomb shelter is found to be open, then that man must’ve escaped. Let’s go. Okay. Aren’t you going to ask me anything? Just a minute. If there’s any misunderstanding, let’s clear it up quickly. I need to go on a business trip. Behave yourself. Don’t you see where you are? Tell us what misunderstanding there is. Yue Chunxia has coughed up everything. When you talked to her on the phone, we were right beside her. Did I say anything peculiar? Isn’t it normal to take my girlfriend
with me on a business trip? What did she tell you? She’s pregnant now. Her hormones are out of whack. She’s very emotional. She said on the afternoon of June 19, in a private OB-GYN hospital in Qingzhou, she argued with you
about whether to receive an abortion or not. During that time, you got a phone call. Then, you left her behind and went back to Lingchuan. You were smart enough not to take the highway. But there are also surveillance cameras on the main roads. That trip took you several hours. You didn’t get back to your hotel
in Qingzhou until early morning. The first thing you did upon arriving was to apologize to Yue Chunxia. What happened? Chunxia, I was wrong. Actually, I want this baby. Never have I thought of discarding it. The moment I met you, I fell in love with you. I hope to build a home with you, to marry you, and to have children with you. I hope for us to be
living happily ever after. But recently, I’ve got into trouble. My career could be jeopardized. Everything I’ve worked for over all these years could be destroyed. I’m worried about our future. That’s why I quarreled with you and even asked you to get an abortion. What exactly happened? Chunxia, I need to tell you something. Please brace yourself for it. In an environmental renovation project
I handled, a very serious problem came up. Shen Xiaozhou… found out about it. She insisted on reporting us
to the authorities. If the authorities got involved, I’d end up in jail, probably forever. Also, your father’s renovation plans for the factory would all go down the drain. That was the issue
I was attending to just now. I tried to persuade Xiaozhou. I even begged her. But regrettably, I couldn’t change her mind. How serious is the situation? Just because you couldn’t persuade her doesn’t mean I can’t either. Shen Xiaozhou… is dead now. I really love him. I mean it. He’s an accomplished man who treats me well. Xiaozhou was prettier than me, but he still chose me. Unlike Xiaozhou, I don’t have big ambitions. Nor do I wish to pursue noble causes. I don’t want to be a desperate job seeker just like my schoolmates. I hate to work long hours, without time for myself. I just want to take care of my children
at home with my husband. I’d like to bake and to travel with my family
when available. Hu Xiangze is able to
provide all that for me. When I spend time with him, I feel I’m the luckiest girl. I’m about to graduate. My dreams will soon come true. I can’t live without them. I just can’t. If something happens to Hu Xiangze now, my life will be torn apart! I just want to be with him! I just want to be with him! I have thought about Xiaozhou. I’ve been trying to tell myself
to muster up courage for Xiaozhou. But I’m too afraid. I can’t do it. Xiaozhou is dead, but my life has just begun. Officer Lian, would Xiaozhou forgive me? T-This is all my fault. Would Xiaozhou forgive me? Would she forgive me? I was terribly wrong. Xiaozhou would understand me,
wouldn’t she? Most of what you said is true, but not the part about Shen Xiaozhou. I guess that is just
all in Chunxia’s head. Has she gone crazy? I can’t believe she’d do this to put a chain on me and to make me stay. She’s afraid of losing me. I admit I did come back to Lingchuan. But that was for business. I didn’t see Shen Xiaozhou at all. You didn’t see Shen Xiaozhou? No. You also didn’t go to Xuri Factory? I… Why would I go there? Then when was your last visit
to Xuri Factory? Ten years ago. Ten years ago? Have you marked it down? Yes. I just checked the wastewater treatment tank
at Xuri Factory, where Shen Xiaozhou’s body was discovered. I made that visit after seeing the design blueprints
for the treatment system there. Look, you were one of the designers
when you were pursuing a doctorate degree. On the blueprints, I spotted a manual valve. In the past, when the tank functioned normally, the valve was electrically controlled. When it was switched on, the water in the tank would flow to the sea from the bottom. Since the system has been
deserted for a long time, the circuits are certainly
out of order now. So the valve has to be activated manually. The killer of Shen Xiaozhou wanted her body
to be flushed into the sea. I believe he must be very familiar with the net of pipelines in the tank. What a pity that the transmission device was faulty, so the valve didn’t open. I’ve collected some fingerprints, ran tests and received the results. Are you still denying that you haven’t been to
Xuri Factory for ten years? Are you hoping for Li Longhe to come to your rescue? We’re almost there. It’s right in front. There’s a car. Turn off the lights. Pull up. Get out of the car. Let’s go. Take him down! Go! Where’s Li Longhe? H-He hasn’t come out yet. Commander Feng. He’s still inside. That’s good. Yes. Where is he hiding? Playing the tunnel warfare
with us police… Yang. Where exactly is he hiding? Captain, something’s wrong with this car. Hasn’t it been searched? Something just moved. Everyone, back off! Open it. We’re police! Slowly put your hands up! Hands on your head, now! Pull him out. Ready. One, two, three! Move. Careful! I’m feeling terrible. Why were you hiding in there? I can’t breathe… Alright. Take a breath. All is fine. Tell me where Li Longhe is. Do you know where Li Longhe is? Lin Zi! Move the car. Our people have gone to where you planned to go. Stop! Freeze! I just got this video. Stop! Freeze! Don’t move! You’re Hua, right? We’re recording this. They made this gun by themselves. And this… A tranquillizer shot. Here… A bottle of accelerant. Probably for burning dead bodies. Come on, over there. Before we arrested them, they were busy digging this hole to bury bodies in. Right here. Yes. A man was buried there, named Sha Hongli, as known as Shark. Have you heard of him? I think more dead bodies can be excavated there. Fake passports and plane tickets
don’t really exist. It has never been their intention
to send you abroad. That day, in Qingzhou, I got a call from Li Longhe. Chunxia, stop making a fuss, okay? We can have many children in the future. Now is just not a good time. Do you understand? You must keep taking folic acid. Sure, I’m still taking it. Mr. Li. Shen Xiaozhou just came to see me for the same matter. She has given me an ultimatum. Got it. I’m in Qingzhou now. I’ll talk to her in person tomorrow. Didn’t I tell you to dispose of the data? How did she get hold of it? Well, I was being negligent. I didn’t delete all of it. One day, Xiaozhou came to the office, asking for information on our work. She’d like to study it at home. So, I let her copy some data. I-It just didn’t occur to me that she’d copy everything. Come in! Mr. Hu. Xiaozhou. I’m here to copy the data
we previously talked about. Haven’t I told you many times?
Just call me Xiangze. Xiangze. Get a copy yourself. The project data is all in the D drive. You’ll know when you see it. Okay. I need to attend a meeting now. Well, don’t click on the hidden files. [Environmental Assessment] Was it negligence or did you mean to create a backup? Negligence. It really was. Mr. Li, why would I ever… She has even done tests herself. This girl is quite a handful. I don’t care where you are now. Come back immediately. Listen, I don’t want to see her again. Okay. Okay. Don’t fret, Mr. Li. I-I will figure something out. Mr. Hu, I’ll send you an address. In an hour and a half, I’ll drop Shen Xiaozhou there. That place has no surveillance cameras. Remember,
don’t bring the phone you usually use, or take the highway. Wait. What do you mean? Hold on. W-What… What exactly are you asking me to do, Mr. Li? What do we mean? Mr. Li has made it very clear. You go figure it out. But you guys… I… Shouldn’t you be in Qingzhou? I just need to take care of something. Where is Chunxia? She has gone home. Let’s talk in my car. Xiaozhou, please be patient. It takes time to retest and remediate the soil, right? But at least,
the sale of Jinhai One apartments should be stopped right away. It’s not as simple as you think. Stop the sale immediately? Then how do we explain to the buyers? How do we explain to the property owners? There had better not be
a social impact, right? But there is bound to be an impact. Don’t you think? Xiaozhou. I’m begging you. Can you please do me a favor and put this thing aside? I already talked to Mr. Li. We will soon present you with a satisfactory result. But hasn’t it been over half a month since I first mentioned
this matter to you? The sale is still going on. Will you really address the problem? Jinhai One covers a massive area. It can house 20 to 30 thousand people,
right? I’ve shown you the indexes
of the contaminants left in the soil. There is so much of them that birth defects and cancer
will probably be induced. Even the next generation will be harmed. This is a very serious issue, Xiangze. The gravity is not as high as you say. Is it not? Answer me from a professional perspective. Xiaozhou, go on a vacation after you graduate. When you start working, we’ll resume the discussion, okay? I-I… I can even give you a raise. Maybe 10%. Or even 20%. What do you think? You… You’re giving me a raise? Should I thank you for that? Isn’t it the heart of the problem here? I understand that your income means a lot to you. I can offer you more. Like bonuses. Plus, if your family ever needs help in the future, the company will surely lend you a hand. I went through hard times too, just like you. I truly understand you. Sorry, Xiangze. I don’t think I’ll take this job. Don’t say that, Xiaozhou. Xiaozhou, I… I know you still trust me. You must do. Otherwise,
with all that evidence you have, you could’ve reported us to the authorities. I’m very grateful to you for not doing so. Work for me, and you’ll probably achieve great things. All your ideas can be realized. L-Let’s collaborate. I do trust you, but I’m also concerned about Xuri Factory. Why? The land it is on will be developed soon. If anything goes wrong with Jinhai Group, how long
will the old workers of Xuri Factory and my neighbors have to wait till they can move in
their own new houses? Xiangze, I’m begging you. Now is not too late. There are so many approaches. You can always try physical remediation or chemical cleaning… It’s more complicated than you think! Shen Xiaozhou,
do you know what the cost will be? Do you? Has it occurred to you what kind of impact and liability this matter will lead to? Do you understand? If you decide to ignore it, then I’ll have to go for the only option. How could we possibly ignore it?
