Chosen (2017–2018): Season 2, Episode 1 - Episode #2.1 - full transcript

No! Please don't.

No! Please don't!

My name is Zhang Lei.

I was drawn into a killing game
three days ago.

I have to kill my target in 24 hours.

If I fail,

-my family's lives will be in danger.
-Papa! Help!

Zhang unleashes an onslaught of combinations.

Nice hook!

A strong kick!

Marcus is on the floor!



Not for long.

He's making a strong comeback.

Hoop and knees from Marcus.

Nice move to the face! Must be pain!

Right hook, Zhang!

Lei!

You've been fighting all day. You must be tired.
Come down and take a break. Here.

Waitress!

Get a bottle of water
for this future boxing champion!

Take a break.

I mean,

people came here for you.

Everyone here wants to fight with you,
the champion!

If you make them enjoy the fight,



then I'll give you an extra 100 yuan every day.

It's getting late. You should go home and rest.

I have people waiting for me.

All right. I'm gonna take a shower.

Here's your takeout.

-Don't drink too much.
-Thank you.

Buddy.

-I'll have a bowl of beef noodles.
-All right, coming.

-Here, noodles.
-Thanks.

Are you all right?

Same as usual.

-Xiao'li, get a bottle of beer for me.
-Sure.

Your wife and kid still haven't come back?

Boss.

If you let me say:

No more waiting.

Go to apologize to them, get them back.

Home cannot be a home without a woman.

As a man, you need to be more tolerant.

A lifetime is pretty long.
Who can say that they'll stay on top forever?

Back in the old days, when I...

-I'll take a bowl of noodles.
-All right.

When I was working at the hotel...

Okay. You should go back to work.

Enjoy your noodles, then.

-This one's on me.
-It's okay.

Sir, the order has been placed.

However...

It seems this man may be difficult to tame.

Whatever you are willing to live for...

you are also willing to die for.

You received a video message. Click to watch.

The number you have dialed does not exist.

The number you have dialed does not exist.

Dad, over here!

Zhang Lei. Come here.

Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday to you!

Here, Tong Tong. Let's take a picture.

Picture time! Cheese!

There's blood coming out from his forehead!

Get up!

He's trying to stand up!

Is he gonna make it?

The referee is starting the countdown.

Three.

Two.

Now he's up again!

A swing knee to the head!

-One, two...
-Marcus is on the floor.

-...three, four...
-The judge is counting!

-...five.
-Knocked out!

Ladies and gentlemen, the game is over!

Referee raises Zhang's arm!

We have a new champion!

Oh, my goodness!

Oh, my goodness! Marcus stands up!
And he's attacking Zhang like a maniac.

Stop! Stop now!

-That's cheating.
-You'll be suspended!

I, on behalf of the International Kickboxing
Championship Organizational Committee,

prohibit Marcus Wiley and Zhang Lei

from competing in the sport for two years.

Why did you get so drunk again?
Today is Tong Tong's birthday, didn't you know?

-Stop drinking.
-Leave me alone!

Look at yourself, Zhang Lei. Be a man!

What do you mean?

Others have been looking down on me.
Are you going to be one of them now? Are you?

Get out of here, you! Get out!

Mom.

Let's go, Tong Tong!

Tong Tong.

Passengers of Flight SU202,

please fetch your luggage at Track No.5.

Dear passengers, please prepare to board.

Long time, no see.

Bro.

Moscow welcomes you.

Let me introduce a friend to you.

-Hello, Mr. Zhang.
-Hi.

I'm Wang Jing. I've seen you in a match.

He knows Moscow very well.

He also knows how to drive.
You'll have to make do with him.

What are you talking about?
My driving skills are top notch.

Right.

I already found your wife and daughter.

How are they?

They are okay. You don't need to worry.

-Then please take me to see them today.
-Sure. Let's go.

Let me.

-That's all right. Thanks.
-Here, let me.

-How was your flight?
-It was good.

Hui Xin.

Hui Xin.

Young man.

Why did you knock so heavily?

There's no one in the room.

Sorry.

How's it going, Lei?

No one's home.

Where's Oleg?

Lei. I've seen your match with Marcus.

That last round was epic.

Hui Xin.

Tong Tong.

Hui Xin.

Go home now.

Go home first.

Go!

You still haven't forgiven me.

What are you doing here?

I've been calling you,
but I couldn't get in contact with you.

A couple of days ago,

I got a strange threatening message.

I was afraid that you two were in danger.

We are doing fine.

Tong Tong as well.

You should go.

I was telling you the truth, believe me.

What message?

Show me.

It got deleted automatically.

Are you kidding me?

Zhang Lei...

it's been so many years.

You're still the way you were.

Hui Xin, listen to me.

-Hui Xin.
-Hey!

Jing.

It's been a while.

Are you doing all right?

Hui Xin!

Bro...

be patient.

I think she will forgive you sooner or later.

By the way...

there's another person I want to see.

Player number three showed up.

Carry out the plan.

Anyone inside?

It's me, Oleg.

Hey, buddy!

Come and see who's here.

Bro, don't worry. They are my friends.

Come and say hi.

They did it to him.

Those big shots.

They suffered great loss in that game.

-Zhang is on the floor!
-Stop! Back!

Back!

Back!

-Swing knee to the head!
-Stop!

-Marcus is on the floor!
-One.

-Referee's counting.
-Two. Three.

Knocked out!

Ladies and gentlemen, the game is over!

I'm sorry.

He's never blamed you.

You just did what you should do as a boxer.

To fight for honor.

You are a fighter.

No matter what.

I never would have thought

the once-brilliant Marcus

would fall so low these days.

Can you shut up?

-You speak too much.
-Oh, man!

No worries in the world

cannot be solved by a glass of vodka.

I agree.

Let's go!

Let's get drunk!

They're heading to the pub.

Kill Zhang Lei before he gets the box.

Yes, sir.

Brothers.

Let's forget our problems

and drink like there's no tomorrow.

Here, let me show you.

Our champion is not afraid of death.

Will he be afraid of drinking?

Bottoms up.

-Stop drinking.
-Leave me alone!

Look at yourself, Zhang Lei.

Be a man!

I quit drinking.

I'll just drink water.

Bro...

I'll drink this for you.

These tough, shitty days

are like this glass of liquor.

Once you drink it down,

your troubles will go with it.

This is life.

All right.

Lei.

Women are like liquor.

They are only yours if you drink them.

You know nothing.

Brothers

are like liquor.

Women are poison.

Fine wine will make everything more pleasant.

Life will be miserable without wine.

Wine will always guide us to the bright future.

To the brotherhood.

To the brotherhood.

-Cheers!
-Cheers!

Keep drinking!

Hey, Mr. Zhang.

Hey.

Someone delivered something to you.

-Who?
-I don't know.

The one guy on the motorcycle by the entrance.

Hey!

Hey! Stop!

Stop!

Let's leave!

Hurry up!

Stop drinking. Are you trying to kill yourself?

What happened?

Lei, where did you go just now?
Something happened.

Oleg, are you all right?

I'm fine.

Oh, my!

I'm still alive.

He was here for you.

You have to be careful, bro.

-Something's happened to Hui Xin and Tong Tong.
-Now go to them!

Go. I'll take him to the hospital.

This box is a matter of life and death.

You guys should help me to hide it.

All right. I'll come find you later.

Go!

Listen to me, Hui Xin.
You and Tong Tong are really in danger.

Are you wasted again?

I told you not to harass us anymore.

All right?

Stay where you are, I'm coming right now.

If you really care about us,

then you should have been here earlier,
not after three years.

All right. I'm done talking to you. Bye!

The number you have dialed is powered off.

Hey. Be faster, please.

Hui Xin.

Hui Xin! Hui Xin!

Hui Xin! Tong Tong!

Mom!

Tong Tong!

-Hui Xin!
-Daddy, help!

Daddy, help!

I hit a man! What should I do?

Damn it!

We should go.

They've taken Hui Xin and Tong Tong.

Go!

Wait.

I have an idea.

Go!

Go!

Boss, we didn't find Zhang's wife and daughter.

Seems that someone came earlier.

Find out where they are immediately.

Yes.

Here it is, Lei.

I think he'll be able to do something.

This way.

Hi.

K. K!

K.

Get up! Hurry!

-What?
-Get up! Come on.

-Stop messing around. No more drinking.
-Look who's here. Hurry.

-Lei.
-Zhang Lei.

Zhang Lei. Started to learn boxing at 15.

Started to participate in major competitions at 20.

On February 10th, 2013,

defeated Russell Louis in Macau.

Defeated Marcus Wiley in 2014.

-In the year 2016...
-All right.

Lei, his brain is like a hard drive.

Why are you here?

Can you really get any information I want?

Why did you come to me if you don't believe me?

Well, then. Take a look at this first.

The Cobra. Why are you looking into them?

Because they kidnapped my wife and kid.

Let me try.

-Lei.
-How's it going? Did you get anything?

I got a little clue.

That message was from a VOIP.

The IP is heavily encrypted.
It's hard to find the IP address in a short time,

but based on my years of experience,
I'm sure that their location is in Moscow.

I can only find small bits of information
other than that.

About this game,
there are many people involved in this.

This is the man you're looking for,
gang leader of the Cobra, Igor.

The woman in the picture is his wife.

Your family was probably kidnapped by them.

Can you find his exact address?

That would be hard,
but since they took your family,

I bet they will make some moves pretty soon here.

Sir.

We have found Zhang Lei's location.

Hello.

Zhang, I think you know why I'm calling you.

Let my wife and my daughter go.

I swear I won't hurt anyone!

You are in no position to negotiate with me.

Trade them with your life.

Wait for my notice.

Got it.

Igor, please don't harm other innocent people.

No, my dear.

I won't let anyone hurt you.

Lei. I found the address.

Lei.

Now we've found the address,
are you sure you're going?

Of course.
I can't let anything happen to my wife and kid.

No. The Cobra is not easy to deal with.
You guys will be in great danger if you go.

Someone's coming.

It's the Cobra.

Follow me. Let's go to the river, there's a boat.

Lei, you guys go this way.

Take care of yourself.

Watch out!

Nobody is here. We go there.

Go!

-He's here.
-Stop!

This way.

-Go! Catch them!
-Got it.

Go get them! Hurry!

Speed up!

Faster! Faster!

Go get them!

-Faster!
-Okay!

Turn.

Boss, they are running to the downtown.

Follow them and stop them.

Sir, it's so crowded, too difficult to catch them.

Get more hands. Catch them, whatever it takes.

You know the result if they escape.

Go.

Follow the bus! Hurry!

Go!

-You got them?
-No. They ran away.

Thank you for what you did.

Well, can you be my coach?

And teach me how to box as well?

Hey.

Can you help me?

Useless piece of shit!

Can't even handle a Chinese man?

Don't!

Useless dog.

This is how you work for me?

This time, I send more people.

I swear I'll bring his head back to you.

I'm here.

He's here.

-He's not Zhang Lei.
-Go!

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Don't forget, I still have your wife and kid.

Yeah, same here.

It seems that I've underestimated you.

Let's solve this once and for all.

Let's meet tonight at Grenive factory.

Hey.

I'm not going to hurt you.

I just want to save my wife and my daughter.

Please, just tell me where they are.

I honestly don't know.

What do you want?

Very good, it's a nice kind of whiskey.

Scotland, I guess.

Igor,

after that Chinese guy gets the box,

your wife will be his target.

I'm risking my life to call you.

Given my sincerity,

please agree with my requirement.

Don't worry. I'm going to give you
everything that you want.

He wants to save my life.

Hui Xin. Tong Tong!

Zhang Lei!

Dad!

Hey!

I could send Anna back to you.

Just let my wife and my daughter go!

We can end this.

End this? No.

There is no way to end it.

The man who created this game

is a monster.

He will tear you apart.

Look at this man on the rope.

He knew the secret of the game.

He told me that Anna was your target.

There is only one way out

for people who are trying to bargain with me.

And...

I'm a man of my word.

Stop!

You just let them go!

Take me! You can take me now!

Shush.

I told you I hate when people
are trying to negotiate with me.

Stop!

Stop!

I'm going to give you one more chance.

You are a fighter, right?

Fight with this.

Dad! Dad!

Don't hit my dad!

Dad!

Dad!

Let go, Zhang Lei.

Forget about us.

I won't let go.

Let them go!

Or I'll kill her!

Such a touching scene.

But you had to spoil it, showing up with a gun.

You think I'm a debutante?

They haven't done anything to me.

He just wants his family back. Just let them go!

He swore he wouldn't harm me.

Anna's becoming quite...

popular.

Anybody that breaks my rules must be killed.

Tong Tong.

Hui Xin.

Tong Tong.

Tong Tong.

Hui Xin.

Are you all right?

Tong Tong, Hui Xin.

Go!

Let's go.

Go.

Go!

You bastard!

You take your high road.

For me, only survival matters.

Bastard!

Do you have to do this?

I did this to save you!

No one can end this game.

The people controlling this are devils.

You piece of shit.

-Tong Tong!
-Mom!

-Mom!
-Tong Tong!

Mom!

-Tong Tong!
-Mom!

Go.

Mom!

Hui Xin. Hurry up and take Tong Tong,
run that direction. I'll handle this here.

Go!

Dad! Dad!

Lei.

Go.

Go!

-Who are you?
-Mom!

Tong Tong. Tong Tong!

Tong Tong. Tong Tong!

Tong Tong! Tong Tong!

Tong Tong! Tong Tong.

Tong Tong.

Oh, my God.

I'm so thirsty!

Hui Xin.

Hui Xin.

Hui Xin.

Hui Xin.

Tong Tong...

Tong Tong's been taken.

What?

Hui Xin. Hui Xin!

Hui Xin!

Hui Xin!

You scared the hell out of me.
