Chosen (2017–2018): Season 2, Episode 3 - Episode #2.3 - full transcript
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 failed,
my family's lives would be in danger.
Hui Xin.
Hui Xin.
I want my daughter back!
Zhang Lei.
Let go, Zhang Lei.
Forget about us.
Are you Zhang Lei?
Someone asked me to give this to you.
What's up?
This game is ridiculous!
When is it going to end?
When does it end?
The person who monitors this
never wants it to stop.
Then what should we do?
We are going to end it.
I'll make them pay.
Lei, with only a few of us...
No.
This...
I have to do it by myself.
I can't drag you guys into this anymore.
It's way too dangerous.
This is the only way
for me to save my daughter.
And it's the only way,
to allow all the people stuck in this game
to get back to their normal lives.
I must do this on my own.
I'm a part of this too.
I promised my dad
I'm going to end it.
Count me in.
Okay.
Me too.
Boris is a genius.
I think I'm starting to admire him.
What is this?
Put it simply,
this is her genius father's design.
A simplified version
of the game's control system.
It can't control the real game,
but there's plenty of useful information.
Look. This is Lei's target in the game.
His name is Arkin.
He's 38 years old.
He is an auto technician.
A lot of participants' actual locations
can be found here.
Can you find where Alexander is?
Not yet.
But I can try using other methods.
What methods?
When hacking into participants'
operating cameras,
the firewall of the communication system
is activated.
I can break through the firewall，
and track the signals
received in the control center.
And find their location based on the path.
But, Lei, this requires you to take a risk.
You need to pretend
to look for your target.
When the cameras are following you,
I'll try to trace the signal.
Lei.
Those hitmen must be looking for you
everywhere now.
We'll surveil each participant's location
on the satellite map.
Once a dangerous situation arises
I'll let you know immediately,
but you have to be careful by yourself.
Natasha. Protect him.
Arkin.
Lei, Arkin is heading towards the plaza.
There's more than one player.
You have to be careful.
Lei, Arkin is nearby.
-How's it going?
-It's not working.
It's not able to track
the surveillance system server's signal.
Lei, watch out.
Watch out, Lei!
Lei!
Lei.
Dad.
Dad.
Dad.
Dad. Dad.
Dad. Dad.
Help, Dad.
Dad.
You can't move right now!
I saw my daughter.
She's in danger.
Don't worry. Don't worry, she will be fine.
You just had a nightmare.
The doctor said you were lucky,
the bullet didn't hit anything vital.
Thank you.
How are you feeling?
Has the fever gone down?
What time is it?
Where are you going? No, no, no.
Lei.
Lei. Lei.
Lei.
K.
How was it?
Did you get anything?
Don't worry.
We'll find a way.
No, we don't have enough time.
If we can't find the control center
before the game ends,
my daughter will be
in serious danger.
Lei.
We are doing our best
to find other ways.
The most important thing
is for you to recover.
I'm okay.
I have to save my daughter.
K.
Tell me, what do we do next?
I've studied this.
Boris' design is a MR interaction game.
He gathered real images
of the whole city of Moscow,
but not all the cameras in the game
belong to the public surveillance system.
Some of the cameras were privately
installed by the game controllers.
As long as we find
the three private cameras,
and install a detector
on the wireless router,
then we can triangulate
the location of the base tower.
We'll find them by hacking into
the signal tower communication system.
Look. There are a lot of participants
scattered around here.
There's intensive monitoring.
All we have to do is to find those cameras
and install detectors in them.
-I'll go.
-Hey.
No.
Right now, Alexander's people
are still searching everywhere for you.
It's too dangerous.
I'll be fine!
Hey, no.
Lei, don't fight over this.
You two should both go
and watch each other's backs.
Wang Jing and I will stay in contact.
I'll let you know if something happens.
Okay.
Lei, Yuri is near you.
All right, copy that.
Hi, Yuri.
How are you?
Hey!
Wait!
Wait!
Come on! Stop! I don't want to hurt you.
Get out of my way!
Come on, listen. You just listen to me.
Come on!
I know you were forced into this.
But you need to understand,
we have to stop killing each other, okay?
Let's end this together, okay?
End the game? Nobody can end it!
They've got my daughter.
If I don't kill you, they will kill her!
I'm sorry, young man.
-I don't have a choice.
-No!
Hey, come on.
I get it. I get it.
I know what you've been through.
Come on, calm down.
I have a daughter.
They took my daughter as well.
We are both fathers.
But we can't save them
by killing people, right?
Come on. Just think.
We've cleaned everything.
Okay. Let's move.
Nice work!
We made it!
You want to kill me?
Not so fast.
Stop! You need to stop!
You're here to kill me?
You're Chinese.
I'm a victim of this game.
Calm down.
Stop running. Stop trying to kill him.
Why won't you let me kill him?
There's no point in killing him.
Calm down and listen to me, will you?
Listen to me.
You'll get yourself killed if you don't stop.
I have no choice.
They have my wife.
If I win this game,
only then can she make it back alive.
You really think once you win...
the game will end?
Don't you understand by now?
They don't want the game to stop.
They want to destroy everyone.
Calm down.
Calm down.
We are both Chinese.
Believe me, brother.
We don't need to kill at all.
I have a plan now.
Perhaps...
we can try it out.
I'll save my wife my own way.
I don't need anyone else.
If you get in my way again...
I'll kill you.
Natasha, Alexander's men
are still after you.
Keep your face away from the cameras.
Lei, Natasha has already installed
the second detector.
We are so close.
I've sent the target's location.
Go get her.
Sir.
I found Natasha.
The world is imbued
with air of anxiousness.
Everyone is desperate
to escape from their shackles.
What they don't realize
is they create their own cuffs.
Natasha, the killers are close. Go!
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Are you okay? Are you okay?
This is my daughter Lida.
She is about the same age as you.
If you see her,
please tell her I will always love her.
I'll be fine. I'll be with your mom again.
We will be there
watching you live happily ever after.
I'm sure she loves you too,
like every daughter loves her dad.
Oh, God...
Hurry! Come this way!
The game is about to end.
You must hurry and find Arkin,
or you'll lose.
You need to...
You must destroy this game.
K, I'll go install the third detector.
Get ready.
Get up! Let's go!
Go. Go!
Go!
Go. Go.
Hurry. Go up there, find them. Go.
Go!
I found the location.
Let's go.
Stop! Stop!
Natasha, hurry!
Lei.
Arkin is nearby.
You need to be careful.
How's it going?
The signal isn't strong enough.
We need to get closer.
Follow me.
Stop! Listen to me!
Son of a bitch!
Stop fighting.
If I don't kill him...
then he will kill me.
This is the rule of the game.
You--
Okay.
He's your target.
I'll let you have him.
Kill him.
Do it.
What are you waiting for?
Kill him.
What's going on? Check it.
We did it.
Yes! Good to go.
Go, Go.
The system is restarting.
Then repair it!
System is currently down.
I'll do my best to fix it.
Still there! He's still there! Target him.
Now
-Are you okay?
-Yeah.
-I'm okay.
-Lei.
We found the location
of the control center.
Good. We need to go now.
Can I join you guys?
I can help.
You're welcome to join us.
What's your name?
Cheng Yongning.
Lei, based on
what the map's showing us,
as long as we go through the forest,
we'll see the base tower.
This way.
Kneel down.
How far is it?
Lei, it's here.
Let's go.
Go.
Alexander's base is here.
Boss, we found nothing.
Yes? Keep searching.
Boss, there's a bit of a problem.
We haven't yet to locate Zhang
or Arkin's body.
Compared to thin hope,
strong fear is better able to motivate
an average man's ambition.
You are exactly right.
Attention!
Research continues.
No one rests until he is found.
Is that clear?
Move!
Why are there still errors?
I'll investigate.
You'd better hurry.
Let's go.
We only found his phone.
Useless dogs.
He got away. Get out there now!
Bring him back no matter what!
Why is the gate on line 1?
Sir, access control has been breached.
I'm working on the solution.
Well, get on it!
Intruders! Intruders!
Intruders found the base.
What did I tell you?
Human beings have unlimited potential.
One life, so many possibilities.
Now go!
Yes, sir!
Sir, what do we do now?
Start the base emergency system.
Wang Jing. K.
Hurry, go find my daughter first.
We'll handle this here.
Go.
Go ahead.
Let me handle this.
Be careful!
Let's go.
Come on, guys. Move.
I didn't expect
that we would meet like this, Zheng
Your desire to survive
surpasses my expectation.
Yeah. Well, we finally meet.
Alexander!
I'm surprised you're still alive.
I'm here for my father.
Boris' death is nobody's fault.
It was just a price he had to pay.
If you cannot listen to your own rules,
then you have to listen to those of others.
No!
You are the one who killed Boris...
and innocent people.
Innocence?
Right and wrong?
You people don't know the difference.
You should be thanking me
for making your worthless life worthwhile.
Is that not so?
Meaningless, brutal killing,
that's your idea of value?
If a tree wants to grow to the sun,
it has to put its root down
in the deep dark earth.
If you want to live a fulfilling life,
then you have to come down
to a lower level.
You are insane.
You are insane!
-Anger reveals your inner power.
-No!
I say be you.
Good luck.
We should head to the roof,
I'll call for more backup.
Send more units, now.
Motherfucker!
You guys leave first.
Just fucking go!
-Go!
-Go! Go!
Too bad. You all failed.
Go!
Where is Alexander?
Where is he?
Let's go.
I will go find Alexander.
You go save your daughter.
What?
No, it's too dangerous!
I must.
Go! Jing and K need you!
Okay. Be careful!
Okay.
Understood. Copy that.
Copy that. We're on our way.
Move!
Are you okay?
Shut up!
There are hostages here.
-Are you all right?
-I'm okay.
I am not very good at fighting.
-Don't worry about me, Lei.
-Lei...
Run. Time is running out.
-Let me out of here!
-Hey!
Tong Tong.
Tong Tong.
-Dad.
-Tong Tong, it's me, Dad.
I'm here.
Dad!
This is an electric code lock.
It needs to be decrypted.
Then hurry up.
Tong Tong.
Tong Tong.
Don't worry.
Dad is going to get you out of there.
Faster.
Hurry!
Lei.
Dad!
Help us, please!
Go. Let's go!
Now leave!
Tong Tong.
I'll get you out of here.
Get my daughter out first.
I'll go get Natasha.
We'll meet you outside.
Be careful.
I'll be fine.
Dad is going to be back soon.
Hurry up and go, all of you. Go.
Watch out!
Stop.
You won't give up, I see.
I'm here to seek revenge for my dad.
Sometimes the greatest enemy
is actually yourself.
Look like old Boris didn't teach you that.
Time to end this.
Look at this beautiful Moscow night view.
Feel it with your dying soul!
He is a monster.
Go to hell!
Wait. Wait.
-Go to hell!
-Wait!
Calm down. Calm down.
Hey.
Calm down.
This is for my wife!
This is for all the people...
who died because of you!
Those who can fly...
look high to those who cannot.
You people just don't get it.
No.
You are the one who doesn't get it!
You really think you're above everything,
but you are wrong!
You know, people have feelings.
People have love.
That kind of power,
you can never, ever stop!
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Love and feelings?
These are the most
dangerous things of all.
People suffer because of it.
You are too serious, Zhang.
Life is just a game.
And I make the rules.
Those who violate them should be killed!
You are not God!
I'm wrong?
You think this is over?
It's just about to start.
Dad!
Dad!
Dad!
Dad, is Mom inside?
Mom is in our hearts,
and the people that have left us...
they are all in our hearts.
They'll stay with us...
as we're walking down this path.
I was drawn into a killing game

I have to kill my target in 24 hours.

-Tong Tong, it's me, Dad.
I'm here.
Dad!
This is an electric code lock.
It needs to be decrypted.
Then hurry up.
Tong Tong.

Go to hell!
Wait. Wait.
-Go to hell!
-Wait!
Calm down. Calm down.
Hey.
Calm down.
This is for my wife!
This is for all the people...
who died because of you!
Those who can fly...
look high to those who cannot.
You people just don't get it.
No.
You are the one who doesn't get it!
You really think you're above everything,
but you are wrong!
You know, people have feelings.
People have love.
That kind of power,
you can never, ever stop!
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Love and feelings?
These are the most
dangerous things of all.
People suffer because of it.
You are too serious, Zhang.
Life is just a game.
And I make the rules.
Those who violate them should be killed!
You are not God!
I'm wrong?
You think this is over?
It's just about to start.
Dad!
Dad!
Dad!
Dad, is Mom inside?
Mom is in our hearts,
and the people that have left us...
they are all in our hearts.
They'll stay with us...
as we're walking down this path.
