TO XUEYE SOUTH ROAD
The bus is moving.
Please hold on tight.
Next stop, Jiaming
Community Hospital.
Miss.
Do you ride the
Route 45 bus often?
Has anyone ever taken
advantage of you on the bus?
Take advantage of me?
Was there a man who
wanted to touch you?
- Take advantage, violate, and harass you?
- What are you doing?
- What's wrong with you?
- Was there? Miss, please tell me.
- Sir!
- Let go of me! Was there?
That person is sick!
- Stop it or I'll call the police!
- Miss!
I'm not sick.
Hello? I'm calling the police.
HONGQIANG CABLE FACTORY
TO XUEYE SOUTH ROAD
How many times is this?
If I remember correctly, this
is the third time, right?
Please make sure we don't
get any more complaints
that make us send officers.
Can we not do this again?
I understand how you feel.
But your investigation
has already caused significant disruption
to Route 45 bus drivers and passengers.
Can you be more careful?
Who am I disturbing?
How did I disturb them?
If you didn't, would I be here?
Please trust the police.
Stop!
- Officer.
- What are you doing?
Please calm down.
Listen to me.
Look at her.
Please try to understand.
I'm here.
I won't let her
cause trouble. Relax.
Mr. Wang.
I can understand how you feel.
I have kids too.
But the case is closed.
What are you aiming
for by keeping this up?
Take my advice.
Don't do it again.
Go home and talk to her.
There won't be the next time.
I'm sorry for the trouble.
Okay.
You guys go ahead.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Let's go.
Mr. Wang.
Take her home.
Don't stand there.
They couldn't find any evidence.
They won't let us search either.
Ambulance!
Where's the ambulance?
His wound has been treated.
It's not that serious.
He just lost a lot of blood.
He needs to stay.
Xiaolu.
- Take them to the inpatient ward.
- Okay.
Come with me.
Thank you.
Hold on.
Are you Xiao Heyun?
I need to talk to you right now.
How did you know there
was a bomb on the bus?
Tell me.
Officer.
He lost a lot of blood.
He needs to rest.
You can ask him later.
I won't take much of his time.
- I just have two questions.
- This is a hospital.
Ms. Du is on the phone.
Xiaolu, take them to the ward.
Okay.
Come on, follow me.
Ms. Du.
The one who called the police
is very important to us.
Got it.
Keep me updated on
Mr. Zhang's situation.
I'll stay at the hospital.
Ms. Du.
Those two just won't talk.
They refuse to cooperate.
Leave them be for a while.
We'll interrogate them
after we know more.

How did this happen?
Actually, we were so close.
The next time,
we need to buy more
time no matter what.
That way, no one gets hurt.
There may not be the next time.
Let's say saving
all the passengers
is the key to breaking
out of the time loop.
Well, we already did that.
This is the last time.
But I can't shake the feeling
that we haven't resolved anything.
I feel like something
more happened
after Wang Mengmeng's death.
Look this up for me.
"May 13th, 2014.
River-crossing
bridge car accident.
Route 45."
Look at this.
DO YOU THINK YOU'RE SPECIAL?
SHE SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN BORN
SHE'S NOT RIGHT IN THE HEAD
SCUM OF SOCIETY
DIE!
DOES SHE THINK THE
WORLD OWES HER?
NICE DEATH!
SHE MUST'VE BEEN SPOILED ROTTEN
If Wang Mengmeng's parents
see these comments,
what will they think?
Maybe
for them,
surviving isn't true salvation.
We probably haven't gotten
to the heart of all this yet.

RIVER-CROSSING BRIDGE
TUESDAY, JIALIN
RIVER-CROSSING BRIDGE
After what happened
to Wang Mengmeng,
Wang Xingde and Tao
Yinghong were dissatisfied
with the
investigation's outcome.
They also asked the police to investigate
why Wang Mengmeng got off the bus.
Is the involved bus
driver here yet?
He should be here soon.
I'll receive him at the door.
Mr. Qin.
- Ms. Du.
- Thank you for coming, Mr. Qin.
- Did you bring everything?
- Yes, I did.
These are the statements,
accident reports,
and all the related documents.
This case wasn't
that complicated.
There was nothing suspicious.
It was just a traffic accident.
Chain of evidence intact.
The cause was clear.
We determined that
the bus driver who let her
out had primary liability.
The dump truck had
secondary liability.
Were there any problems
with compensation?
There were none.
The bus company paid
the compensation.
The victim's family
didn't file a lawsuit.
There was no financial dispute.
Ms. Du.
He is the one from the case.
Mr. Zhu, the driver
of the Route 45 bus.
Mr. Zhu, this is Ms. Du.
Hello, Mr. Zhu.
Have a seat.
Come, sit down.
- Sit down, Mr. Qin.
- Okay.
Have a seat, Mr. Zhu.
Don't be nervous, Mr. Zhu.
We just want to learn more
from you about the situation.
Just tell us the truth.
We were watching this video.
Wang Mengmeng was in a hurry
when she got off the bus.
And she had arguments
and tussles with you.
So what happened?
It has already been five years.
I've been asked all
the questions before.
You are Mr. Qin
from back then, right?
Yes, it's me.
Then you know better
than anyone else.
You should talk to them.
I answered all the
questions back then.
- All I can do now is...
- Mr. Zhu.
You've heard about the bombing.
This is a serious case.
Please cooperate.
At the time, that young lady
insisted on getting off.
I really didn't expect this
to happen.
Otherwise,
I wouldn't have let
her off the bus.
But under the circumstances,
I had no choice but
to drop her off.
I'm sure you've all seen
the security footage.
At the time,
she was already
pulling on my arm.
What if the bus was
steered off course?
What would happen?
The consequences
would be even worse.
I'm a driver.
I have to ensure the safety of
the dozens of passengers on board.
If she had acted up
anywhere else,
I could have pulled
over for her.
On the river-crossing bridge,
there is no way.
Didn't you think of asking
the passengers to stop her?
No one on the bus helped.
After the accident, did Wang
Mengmeng's parents contact you?
Did they ask you why
Wang Mengmeng got off?
Nothing in the world
could make me brave enough
to talk to them face-to-face.
I know that even if I were
to kneel and kowtow to them,
they wouldn't accept it either.
Especially that lady. She…
Yes, I know.
I breached the protocol.
I know that I lost my
job because of this.
I've admitted it myself.
How much do you know
about the real reason
that Wang Mengmeng got off?
Or did she say anything to you?
That young girl just
missed her stop.
I've seen this
more than a few times before.
She kept babbling on and on.
What she said didn't
make any sense.
I didn't know what she wanted.
She just kept wanting me
to stop and let her out.
I was focused on the road.
I didn't know what to do.
It's the river-crossing bridge!
You can't stop there!
But you still stopped.
Yes, I know I did stop!
But what could I do?
Five years have already passed!
Why won't you let it go?
Didn't you call me here
today to interrogate me?
- No.
- Fine. Take me and execute me!
- My life for hers!
- No, Mr. Zhu.
- Mr. Zhu.
- Here.
That's not our intention.
Please have a seat.
Mr. Zhu, calm down.
Don't get so worked up.
That's not our intention.
We told you to come
just to ask you to
think back carefully.
Did you upset her parents
to make them resent you?
Resent?
Who doesn't harbor resentment?
I have resentment too.
Okay, Mr. Zhu.
Don't get worked up.
Let's take a break.
Here, Xiaoliu.
Take Mr. Zhu to get
some tea and rest.
- Come.
- Mr. Zhu.
Here. Take a break.
- Mrs. Zhang.
- Where is Zhang Cheng?
I'm asking you. Where is he?
We took a closer look at the
security cameras on the bus.
We also talked to the
passengers on the bus.
No one knows why Wang
Mengmeng got off the bus.
We only found out that
she seriously interfered
with the driver's driving.
And aside from her frantic
hitting of the bus door,
there was no proof that she
was in any physical danger.
But if you look
at the transcript,
Tao Yinghong was
insistent on this point.
She felt that Wang Mengmeng must
have insisted on getting off the bus
because she felt
threatened on the bus.
Yes.
That's what she
was obsessed about.
Let's watch the
bus footage again.
Who was she calling?
Wang Xingde.
She called.
But nobody answered.
Sir!
Sir, I need to get off!
Sir!
Sir, I need to get off!
We can't stop here.
Pull over up ahead, please.
We're on the bridge. I
definitely can't stop.
Help me!
- Help me!
- What are you doing?
Go away!
I want to get off!
It's too dangerous!
What are you doing?
Stop the car!
Don't touch it!
Don't touch the wheel!
- Stop the bus!
- Don't touch it!
I'll pull over!
Don't touch it.
Get off from the back. Get off.
Stop.
Look.
The driver had opened the door.
She could have gotten off.
But why did she look back?
Who was she looking at?
There were so many passengers.
As for who she was looking at,
we're not sure.
But why did she
insist on getting off?
We've speculated on that.
The accident occurred on a
stretch of the Route 45 bus course
where disputes
happen frequently.
Yanjiang East Road is the
last stop before the bridge.
If you miss this stop,
you have to cross the
bridge and come back.
This process takes up a
good part of the hour.
But people often miss the stop
and ask to be
dropped off midway.
We assumed that was the
case with Wang Mengmeng.
So the accident wasn't
complicated at all.
There is also ample evidence.
All three parties agreed
to the liability determination
by the Traffic Police.
They all signed the findings.
The driver took responsibility.
And the damages were paid.
Yes.
What about Wang Xingde
and Tao Yinghong?
When the liability
determination was made,
how did they feel?
At first, they couldn't
accept it at all.
They investigated on their
own for over a month.
They took the Route
45 bus every day.
On the bus,
when they saw girls around
Wang Mengmeng's age,
they went up to them
and interrogated them.
They asked them if they had been
in any suspicious situations.
450,000 YUAN COMPENSATION
I see that the
liability determination
was signed only by Wang Xingde.
Was Tao Yinghong there?
Did she know about this?
She was there and aware of it.
After the incident,
it was Tao Yinghong who traveled
from her hometown and got here first.
So the communications and
forensics at an early stage
were dealt directly with her.
But during the investigation,
her emotions were
severely out of control.
This has affected our
investigation process.
So we tried to
avoid her later on.
We liaised with
Wang Xingde instead.
When Wang Xingde signed it,
Tao Yinghong was
present and informed.
Afterward, did the two of them
have any objections
to this determination?
No.
Yezi.
Any news from Jiaodao?
Yes.
We contacted Tao Yinghong's colleagues
at Jiaodao First High School.
They said Tao Yinghong wasn't
in a good mental state.
After what happened
to Wang Mengmeng,
Tao Yinghong changed a lot
and became very irritable.
She even hit a student.
Not long after that,
she left the school.
But I think she was
persuaded to quit.
The parents of the student
who was hit threw a fit.
Since then, she hasn't
contacted her colleagues.
She blocked all their numbers.
Then she moved to Jialin.
And Wang Xingde?
We contacted some apprentices
from Wang Xingde's transport team.
They said that Wang Xingde
became very sad and depressed.
He aged overnight.
But he never talked about
it in front of other people.
Did anyone mention their
marital relationship?
His apprentice said that
Wang Xingde always
listens to Tao Yinghong.
Moving to Jialin was probably
Tao Yinghong's decision.
At first, Wang Xingde
was against it.
But Tao Yinghong was
determined to move.
Wang Xingde had no choice
but to come along.
How did you know
that there was a
bomb on the bus?
How did you know
Mr. Zhang's number?
Mr. Zhang told us himself.
When did he tell you?
Did you know each other?
I guess we kind of
know each other.
But I can't explain
it in a few words.
So…
Mr. Zhang…
Mr. Zhang is dead.
You have to truthfully tell me
everything you know.
- Jiang Feng, let's talk outside.
- Enough.
Answer me.
MAY 9TH, 2019, THURSDAY
You've wasted an
entire afternoon.
Don't you have
anything to tell us?
What about your daughter?
Do you not have anything
to say about that?
What was the purpose
of this explosion?
Do you have any accomplices
other than Tao Yinghong?
Did you arrange any
other bomb sites?
How is Tao Yinghong?
MAY 9TH, 2019, THURSDAY
If it weren't for the two
police officers on the bus,
our family
would already be together.
She mentioned two officers. Are
they the ones who called the police?
You said there were two
police officers on the bus.
Were they those
two young people?
I want to know.
You can keep following me.
But when I asked you
to find out the truth
behind Mengmeng's death,
why didn't you do it thoroughly?
Tao Yinghong.
CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION FILE
What you see here is the file on Wang
Mengmeng's case from five years ago.
As long as you cooperate,
we will get to the
bottom of this.
I've said what I had to say.
It was my idea.
I made the bomb myself.
I brought it onto
the Route 45 bus.
It has nothing to
do with Wang Xingde.
If you think there
must be something
because we're married,
then he was forced to do it.
Because I wanted
him to die with me.
Tao Yinghong.
There's hatred in your
heart. I can understand.
You can understand?
You can understand?
Even I don't understand.
Tao Yinghong.
Tao Yinghong!
Stay here. I'll get a doctor.
Ms. Du.
Wang Xingde.
Your daughter's case.
We've already started
reinvestigating.
Thank you.
How is Tao Yinghong?
I can understand.
As parents,
you couldn't protect your child
when she was in the most danger.
Besides,
the last person that Mengmeng
called for help was you.
If I had picked it up,
wouldn't that have been nice?
If I could,
I would rather give my life
for Mengmeng's life.
What do those people know?
What right do they
have to go online
and make up stories about
a complete stranger?
They said such awful things.
Mengmeng was only 20 years old.
She never hurt anyone.
Back then,
if there was even a single
clue or a glimmer of hope,
we wouldn't be here.
Five years ago,
I forced Tao Yinghong
to move from Jiaodao to Jialin.
I am the one
who planned the whole bombing.
I forced Tao Yinghong
to make the bomb.
But we can't help it.
That was our child.
We had to make it right for her.
We couldn't let her die in vain.
Let me ask you.
Was it wrong of us to do that?
But that doesn't
justify your crime.
Did you consider this?
The passengers on the
bus have families too.
They also have
children and parents.
You're taking out
all your hatred
on innocent people
and destroying their families.
Is this behavior of yours
what Mengmeng would want to see?
I'm sorry for the trouble.
I'm sorry.
MAY 13TH, 5 YEARS AGO
Mr. Wang, after Mengmeng
went to college,
there's no one to change
your gloves for you.
You know nothing.
Mengmeng told me.
She will buy me a new pair
when she is back for summer.
- Get to work.
- Okay.
Sir, I'll get you a new
pair when we get back.
Let's get a good
one. A leather pair!
You punk.

MENGMENG
Mr. Wang.
The boss is looking for you.
You should go.
MENGMENG
1:44 P.M., MAY
13TH, 2014, TUESDAY
Mr. Yin, Miss
Wang's dad is here.
Hello, Mr. Wang.
This is Mr. Qin
from the precinct.
This is Mr. Yang
from the bus company.
Mr. Wang.
Mr. Wang.
Regarding Wang
Mengmeng's accident,
we are all very sorry.
My condolences.
This is a determination
of liability
and an agreement on
compensation for damages.
Traffic authorities took
this accident very seriously.
They thoroughly
investigated the cause.
The driver will also be
held legally responsible.
As for the compensation
and bereavement damages,
the bus company will pay for it.
We will pay.
As for the other details,
it's all in the file,
so please take a look.
If you have no objections,
please sign it.
I don't agree.
I don't need compensation.
But I need the truth.
I want to know why Wang Mengmeng
suddenly got off the bus.
I want to know what
happened to her on the bus
before she got off.
Once you find out the truth,
we'll sign the documents.
- Hey!
- Mr. Wang!
Mr. Wang!
- Mr. Wang.
- Mr. Wang.
Mr. Wang.
I heard that woman has
been standing here all day.
Isn't she silly?
She just keeps
waiting at the door.
Who is she looking for now?
Nobody would dare to see her.
The boss would never see her.
Of course they won't see her.
This woman.
What a pain in the ass.
Isn't there someone
on the Route 45 line
who molests young girls?
I guess so.
I've heard that before.
But if the passengers
don't speak up,
the driver won't care.
The driver has to drive. He can't
see what happens in the back.
If you ask me,
people like that are messed up.
He even goes after young girls.
If he gets caught, he
should be locked up.

UNIVERSITY TOWN STOP
UNIVERSITY TOWN STOP
What is the point
of coming here?
We're almost there.
I miss her.
Why don't we sign the documents?
They've pulled up all the
CCTV footage in the hallway.
Nobody entered the men's room
ten minutes before and after
you were in the restroom.
And we've been staking
out Route 45 for so long.
They won't even let
us on the bus now.
Yinghong.
Listen to me.
Yinghong.
Look at me.
Look at me.
Let's take Mengmeng home.
Mengmeng must want to go home.
Moreover,
your graduating students
are waiting for you.
These students will
eventually become memories.
Mengmeng is gone.
From now on,
we will have to rely on each one
of these memories to live on.

the dozens of passengers on board.
If she had acted up
anywhere else,
I could have pulled
over for her.
On the river-crossing bridge,
there is no way.
Didn't you think of asking
the passengers to stop her?
No one on the bus helped.
After the accident, did Wang
Mengmeng's parents contact you?
Did they ask you why
Wang Mengmeng got off?
Nothing in the world
could make me brave enough
to talk to them face-to-face.
I know that even if I were
to kneel and kowtow to them,
they wouldn't accept it either.
Especially that lady. She…
Yes, I know.
I breached the protocol.
I know that I lost my
job because of this.
I've admitted it myself.
How much do you know
about the real reason
that Wang Mengmeng got off?
Or did she say anything to you?
That young girl just
missed her stop.
I've seen this
more than a few times before.
She kept babbling on and on.
What she said didn't
make any sense.
I didn't know what she wanted.
She just kept wanting me
to stop and let her out.
I was focused on the road.
I didn't know what to do.
It's the river-crossing bridge!
You can't stop there!
But you still stopped.
Yes, I know I did stop!
But what could I do?
Five years have already passed!
Why won't you let it go?
Didn't you call me here
today to interrogate me?
- No.
- Fine. Take me and execute me!
- My life for hers!
- No, Mr. Zhu.
- Mr. Zhu.
- Here.
That's not our intention.
Please have a seat.
Mr. Zhu, calm down.
Don't get so worked up.
That's not our intention.
We told you to come
just to ask you to
think back carefully.
Did you upset her parents
to make them resent you?
Resent?
Who doesn't harbor resentment?
I have resentment too.
Okay, Mr. Zhu.
Don't get worked up.
Let's take a break.
Here, Xiaoliu.
Take Mr. Zhu to get
some tea and rest.
- Come.
- Mr. Zhu.
Here. Take a break.
- Mrs. Zhang.
- Where is Zhang Cheng?
I'm asking you. Where is he?
We took a closer look at the
security cameras on the bus.
We also talked to the
passengers on the bus.
No one knows why Wang
Mengmeng got off the bus.
We only found out that
she seriously interfered
with the driver's driving.
And aside from her frantic
hitting of the bus door,
there was no proof that she
was in any physical danger.
But if you look
at the transcript,
Tao Yinghong was
insistent on this point.
She felt that Wang Mengmeng must
have insisted on getting off the bus
because she felt
threatened on the bus.
Yes.
That's what she
was obsessed about.
Let's watch the
bus footage again.
Who was she calling?
Wang Xingde.
She called.
But nobody answered.
Sir!
Sir, I need to get off!
Sir!
Sir, I need to get off!
We can't stop here.
Pull over up ahead, please.
We're on the bridge. I
definitely can't stop.
Help me!
- Help me!
- What are you doing?
Go away!
I want to get off!
It's too dangerous!
What are you doing?
Stop the car!
Don't touch it!
Don't touch the wheel!
- Stop the bus!
- Don't touch it!
I'll pull over!
Don't touch it.
Get off from the back. Get off.
Stop.
Look.
The driver had opened the door.
She could have gotten off.
But why did she look back?
Who was she looking at?
There were so many passengers.
As for who she was looking at,
we're not sure.
But why did she
insist on getting off?
We've speculated on that.
The accident occurred on a
stretch of the Route 45 bus course
where disputes
happen frequently.
Yanjiang East Road is the
last stop before the bridge.
If you miss this stop,
you have to cross the
bridge and come back.
This process takes up a
good part of the hour.
But people often miss the stop
and ask to be
dropped off midway.
We assumed that was the
case with Wang Mengmeng.
So the accident wasn't
complicated at all.
There is also ample evidence.
All three parties agreed
to the liability determination
by the Traffic Police.
They all signed the findings.
The driver took responsibility.
And the damages were paid.
Yes.
What about Wang Xingde
and Tao Yinghong?
When the liability
determination was made,
how did they feel?
At first, they couldn't
accept it at all.
They investigated on their
own for over a month.
They took the Route
45 bus every day.
On the bus,
when they saw girls around
Wang Mengmeng's age,
they went up to them
and interrogated them.
They asked them if they had been
in any suspicious situations.
450,000 YUAN COMPENSATION
I see that the
liability determination
was signed only by Wang Xingde.
Was Tao Yinghong there?
Did she know about this?
She was there and aware of it.
After the incident,
it was Tao Yinghong who traveled
from her hometown and got here first.
So the communications and
forensics at an early stage
were dealt directly with her.
But during the investigation,
her emotions were
severely out of control.
This has affected our
investigation process.
So we tried to
avoid her later on.
We liaised with
Wang Xingde instead.
When Wang Xingde signed it,
Tao Yinghong was
present and informed.
Afterward, did the two of them
have any objections
to this determination?
No.
Yezi.
Any news from Jiaodao?
Yes.
We contacted Tao Yinghong's colleagues
at Jiaodao First High School.
They said Tao Yinghong wasn't
in a good mental state.
After what happened
to Wang Mengmeng,
Tao Yinghong changed a lot
and became very irritable.
She even hit a student.
Not long after that,
she left the school.
But I think she was
persuaded to quit.
The parents of the student
who was hit threw a fit.
Since then, she hasn't
contacted her colleagues.
She blocked all their numbers.
Then she moved to Jialin.
And Wang Xingde?
We contacted some apprentices
from Wang Xingde's transport team.
They said that Wang Xingde
became very sad and depressed.
He aged overnight.
But he never talked about
it in front of other people.
Did anyone mention their
marital relationship?
His apprentice said that
Wang Xingde always
listens to Tao Yinghong.
Moving to Jialin was probably
Tao Yinghong's decision.
At first, Wang Xingde
was against it.
But Tao Yinghong was
determined to move.
Wang Xingde had no choice
but to come along.
How did you know
that there was a
bomb on the bus?
How did you know
Mr. Zhang's number?
Mr. Zhang told us himself.
When did he tell you?
Did you know each other?
I guess we kind of
know each other.
But I can't explain
it in a few words.
So…
Mr. Zhang…
Mr. Zhang is dead.
You have to truthfully tell me
everything you know.
- Jiang Feng, let's talk outside.
- Enough.
Answer me.
MAY 9TH, 2019, THURSDAY
You've wasted an
entire afternoon.
Don't you have
anything to tell us?
What about your daughter?
Do you not have anything
to say about that?
What was the purpose
of this explosion?
Do you have any accomplices
other than Tao Yinghong?
Did you arrange any
other bomb sites?
How is Tao Yinghong?
MAY 9TH, 2019, THURSDAY
If it weren't for the two
police officers on the bus,
our family
would already be together.
She mentioned two officers. Are
they the ones who called the police?
You said there were two
police officers on the bus.
Were they those
two young people?
I want to know.
You can keep following me.
But when I asked you
to find out the truth
behind Mengmeng's death,
why didn't you do it thoroughly?
Tao Yinghong.
CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION FILE
What you see here is the file on Wang
Mengmeng's case from five years ago.
As long as you cooperate,
we will get to the
bottom of this.
I've said what I had to say.
It was my idea.
I made the bomb myself.
I brought it onto
the Route 45 bus.
It has nothing to
do with Wang Xingde.
If you think there
must be something
because we're married,
then he was forced to do it.
Because I wanted
him to die with me.
Tao Yinghong.
There's hatred in your
heart. I can understand.
You can understand?
You can understand?
Even I don't understand.
Tao Yinghong.
Tao Yinghong!
Stay here. I'll get a doctor.
Ms. Du.
Wang Xingde.
Your daughter's case.
We've already started
reinvestigating.
Thank you.
How is Tao Yinghong?
I can understand.
As parents,
you couldn't protect your child
when she was in the most danger.
Besides,
the last person that Mengmeng
called for help was you.
If I had picked it up,
wouldn't that have been nice?
If I could,
I would rather give my life
for Mengmeng's life.
What do those people know?
What right do they
have to go online
and make up stories about
a complete stranger?
They said such awful things.
Mengmeng was only 20 years old.
She never hurt anyone.
Back then,
if there was even a single
clue or a glimmer of hope,
we wouldn't be here.
Five years ago,
I forced Tao Yinghong
to move from Jiaodao to Jialin.
I am the one
who planned the whole bombing.
I forced Tao Yinghong
to make the bomb.
But we can't help it.
That was our child.
We had to make it right for her.
We couldn't let her die in vain.
Let me ask you.
Was it wrong of us to do that?
But that doesn't
justify your crime.
Did you consider this?
The passengers on the
bus have families too.
They also have
children and parents.
You're taking out
all your hatred
on innocent people
and destroying their families.
Is this behavior of yours
what Mengmeng would want to see?
I'm sorry for the trouble.
I'm sorry.
MAY 13TH, 5 YEARS AGO
Mr. Wang, after Mengmeng
went to college,
there's no one to change
your gloves for you.
You know nothing.
Mengmeng told me.
She will buy me a new pair
when she is back for summer.
- Get to work.
- Okay.
Sir, I'll get you a new
pair when we get back.
Let's get a good
one. A leather pair!
You punk.
MENGMENG

MENGMENG
Mr. Wang.
The boss is looking for you.
You should go.
MENGMENG
1:44 P.M., MAY
13TH, 2014, TUESDAY
Mr. Yin, Miss
Wang's dad is here.
Hello, Mr. Wang.
This is Mr. Qin
from the precinct.
This is Mr. Yang
from the bus company.
Mr. Wang.
Mr. Wang.
Regarding Wang
Mengmeng's accident,
we are all very sorry.
My condolences.
This is a determination
of liability
and an agreement on
compensation for damages.
Traffic authorities took
this accident very seriously.
They thoroughly
investigated the cause.
The driver will also be
held legally responsible.
As for the compensation
and bereavement damages,
the bus company will pay for it.
We will pay.
As for the other details,
it's all in the file,
so please take a look.
If you have no objections,
please sign it.
I don't agree.
I don't need compensation.
But I need the truth.
I want to know why Wang Mengmeng
suddenly got off the bus.
I want to know what
happened to her on the bus
before she got off.
Once you find out the truth,
we'll sign the documents.
- Hey!
- Mr. Wang!
Mr. Wang!
- Mr. Wang.
- Mr. Wang.
Mr. Wang.
I heard that woman has
been standing here all day.
Isn't she silly?
She just keeps
waiting at the door.
Who is she looking for now?
Nobody would dare to see her.
The boss would never see her.
Of course they won't see her.
This woman.
What a pain in the ass.
Isn't there someone
on the Route 45 line
who molests young girls?
I guess so.
I've heard that before.
But if the passengers
don't speak up,
the driver won't care.
The driver has to drive. He can't
see what happens in the back.
If you ask me,
people like that are messed up.
He even goes after young girls.
If he gets caught, he
should be locked up.

UNIVERSITY TOWN STOP
UNIVERSITY TOWN STOP
What is the point
of coming here?
We're almost there.
I miss her.
Why don't we sign the documents?
They've pulled up all the
CCTV footage in the hallway.
Nobody entered the men's room
ten minutes before and after
you were in the restroom.
And we've been staking
out Route 45 for so long.
They won't even let
us on the bus now.
Yinghong.
Listen to me.
Yinghong.
Look at me.
Look at me.
Let's take Mengmeng home.
Mengmeng must want to go home.
Moreover,
your graduating students
are waiting for you.
These students will
eventually become memories.
Mengmeng is gone.
From now on,
we will have to rely on each one
of these memories to live on.
