Reset (2022): Season 1, Episode 4 - Getting Out of the Loop - full transcript

- Are you nervous?
- No!

Keep it down.

Okay.

It's your first time
out in the field.

Be observant.

Look at how others do it.

I got it.

Don't act furtively
either. Just be normal.

Keep your eyes open.

Yes.

Give me one of your
Chinese crullers.



What are you looking
at? Let's go.

Stop!

Are you okay?

Your hand.

Come on.

The bus is moving.
Please hold on tight.

Next stop, Yanjiang West Road.

1:35 P.M., MAY 9TH, THURSDAY

Are you okay?

- Your concerns were right.
- Are we really doing nothing?

I'm sorry, I…

You have nothing
to be sorry about.

I wasn't right either.

It's true that I didn't
trust you before.



I even suspected you.

Then just let it pass.

Let's not talk about it.

Are you okay? You were
sweating a lot just now.

I was locked up in that
dark room for too long.

I couldn't take it
anymore, so I fell asleep.

I fell asleep too.

So that means…

we go back into the time
loop once we fall asleep?

I think so too.

I got a very important
piece of information.

The police have confirmed that
there was a bomb on the bus.

Mr. Zhang reminded
me of something too.

He asked me if I knew
there was a bomb,

why didn't I tell the
driver and the passengers

and have them get off the bus?

We were in such a hurry that
we didn't think of this.

We've already tried it before.

We said an accident would
happen, but no one believed us.

An accident and a bomb on the bus
will evoke different reactions.

Sir, stop the bus!

There's a bomb on the bus!

Someone set it off.

That person is on the bus.

ROUTE 45 TO XUEYE SOUTH ROAD

Are you looking for the bomb?

Watch what you say from now on.

I got it. I know.

We don't know how
it's detonated,

so we have to find…

it first.

If he planted it on
the bus in advance,

then there's nothing we can do.

But let's say he brought it

on the bus.

Something so powerful
must be in a bag.

So we can rule out
the two at the front.

They don't even have bags.

In the previous loops, these two

always had their
eyes on their bags.

This lady…

I think we can
rule out the lady.

Her bag was full of
medication. Do you remember?

That person…

There is a red bag at her feet.

What about the guy
in the last row?

Was there someone
in the last row?

Yes.

It was a guy with a hat and a
mask. He was really strange.

He was dressed all in black.

Right. There was one.

When I saw him, I
thought it was strange.

Why was he covered up so
tightly in this hot weather?

Right?

Where did he go?

"Next stop, Yanjiang East Road."

He hasn't gotten on the bus yet.

The time moved up again.

Does that mean we can simply
get off at the next stop?

Yes.

What's wrong?

I want to find that ringtone.

Whenever the bus
explodes on the bridge,

the ringtone goes off.

If it really has to do with…

that thing,

that person will
definitely react to it

when he hears it.

That makes sense.

We've arrived at
Yanjiang East Road.

Please exit through the rear door.
Please tap your card when exiting.

- Please mind the doors.
- It could've just been someone's phone.

Let's get off first.

YANJIANG EAST ROAD STOP

What's going on?

I want to make a report.

There's a bomb on
the Route 45 bus.

The license plate is Jia A77651.

The bus just left
Yanjiang East Road.

It is about to cross the
river-crossing bridge now.

The bomber is on the bus.
He is among the passengers.

My name is Li Shiqing. You
can contact me on this number.

Please believe me.
I'm telling the truth.

There's no time to waste.
You have to act now.

POLICE

I got it.

Understood.

YANJIANG EAST ROAD STOP

- Xiao Heyun.
- Don't say my name.

What are you doing?

Keep a distance from me.

Act natural.

- Why?
- So…

I'll find a place
with fewer people.

Just follow me.

There aren't many people or
surveillance cameras here.

Hold on.

Why do you keep
avoiding the cameras?

Why did you call
the police again?

Of course I have
to call the police.

If there's nothing we can do,

then shouldn't we inform
the police to act quickly?

I don't want to go back
to the police station.

It doesn't matter even
if you don't want to.

It's only a matter of time
before we get called in.

We got off at a bus
stop normally this time.

If you don't call the police,

they won't suspect us at all.

I'm not blaming you.

We got off at a
bus stop this time.

This has never happened before.

This changes the
situation entirely.

We have plenty of time to
figure the situation out.

Then we can decide how
we're going to do this.

If you call the police
right after we get off,

we'll get questioned and
won't be able to do anything.

Besides, have you
thought about this?

What if getting off
the bus normally

is a way out of the time loop?

What if this is the last loop?

The last loop?

If this is the last loop,

isn't this the last chance for
those people on the bus to live?

That's all the more
reason to call the police.

But we already called
the police before.

The police can't make
it in such a short time.

The last time I called the
police, I was inexperienced,

so it wasted too much time.

But it's different this time.

The police have
more time to act.

Also, we got more information.

What information?

We don't know where the bomb is.

We don't know who's
controlling it.

What do we tell the police?

Do we say it's because
of the time loop again?

If we can't even explain things clearly,
how can we assist with the investigation?

Yes.

You're right. I didn't
think it through.

But I didn't think
much at the time.

I just want to save them.

When I was in the hospital,

I witnessed
resuscitation attempts.

It was so tragic.

You just witnessed it.

I've been through resuscitation.
I know how painful it is.

But you can't save people
simply with a kind heart.

We have to think.

Besides, who are
we to save anyone?

In many of the loops,

we were corpses ourselves.

If the people on the
bus are destined to die,

perhaps this chance to escape

is God helping us.

We have to cherish
the opportunity.

We are not murderers.

There's no need to feel guilty

because of these people
on the bus, right?

Kindness is not a cheap virtue.

It has to match your ability.

Otherwise, it just
causes more trouble.

I…

It's nothing personal. It's…

You can see the
bridge from there.

Maybe the police can make it.

I'm sorry.

I was too harsh just now.

I just wanted to say

that we should discuss
things together.

You hid so well just now.

Didn't you already
decide to run away?

I didn't think that much.

I just feel like

if we both go to the police
station, we'll be too passive.

This is what I was thinking.

Since we were able to get
off at a bus stop normally,

let's get through
this whole day first

and collect more clues.

Doesn't the time loop
move up every time?

Let's just wait until it's early enough
for the police to stop the explosion.

Then we'll call the police.

This way, we can cooperate
with the police effectively

and avoid dying
over and over again.

Moreover, we won't be locked up.

If the time loop
does keep moving up,

I'll still get on the bus
at the University Town stop.

But what about you?

Will you still get on?

My gosh.

Don't worry. You don't have
to go to the police station.

I trust the police.

They'll be in time to
stop the explosion.

POLICE

Mr. Zhang.

As per the arranged plan,

we have full control of
both ends of the bridge.

Where is Jiang Feng?

Mr. Jiang has taken some
of the traffic police

to the intercept point.

POLICE

ROUTE 45 TO XUEYE SOUTH ROAD

What's happening?

Sir, open the door.

Everyone,

there's an accident up ahead.

The bus can't get through.

You can get off
and leave on foot.

What's happening?

Is there a backup on the bridge?

How long will it take?

I have something to do.

It will take at least an hour.

That's too long.

I have something to do at home.

Sir, please open the door.

- We're getting off.
- Everyone, get off, but leave your stuff.

- Stay still!
- Stay still!

Stay still!

Jiang Feng.

Do you read me?

JIALIN RIVER-CROSSING
BRIDGE, 1,500 M

Jiang Feng.

Do you read me?

You should go.

I'll explain everything
to the police.

I won't mention you.

What are you going
to tell the police?

I've been interrogated
twice. I know what to say.

Anyway, I won't mention you.

You hid pretty well just now.

I don't think
they'll suspect you.

You're right.

There's indeed no point
to implicate both of us.

Besides, this was my own
problem in the first place.

Whatever the result is,
I should bear it alone.

Yes, I'm Li Shiqing.

I'm at Little West Lake Park.

Okay, I'll wait for
you at the entrance.

Can't you discuss things
before you do something?

I already called the
police. What else can I do?

The police will be here soon.

Don't rush to go out. Hide
in the park for a while.

If this really is the last loop,

I'll take responsibility
for what I've done myself.

This has nothing to do with whether
this is the last time or not.

It's even better if
it's not the last time.

From now on, you can just get
off at the next stop normally

and live your regular life.

How can I have a
regular life again?

Every day, when I open my eyes, I'll
see you sending yourself to death.

Do I just ignore that
and go to my meeting?

At least you won't
die in the explosion.

It's better than the
passengers who get blown up.

The passengers
don't know anything.

Death just happens in a moment.

They can't even feel the pain.

But what about us?

We have to face fear.

Is it wrong to be
afraid of death?

Isn't it human nature to
seek benefits and evade harm?

Just because I can't be
as kind as you, does that…

Does that make me evil?

Wait. Give me your number.

In case anything happens.

I'll be fine.

- Give me your number.
- 13959288109.

We're the municipal police.

Are you Li Shiqing?

Get in the car.

Hello. How are things?

Is there no chance
of saving him at all?

Okay, I got it.

LIU PENG

LIU PENG

Hello.

Where are you?

You're there, right?

Why don't you talk to them?

I asked you where you are.

I haven't crossed
the bridge yet.

There was an accident
on the bridge.

Can't you hail a taxi
and take a detour?

I can't get a taxi now.

Xiao Heyun, their
top boss is here.

They are very sincere.

Hurry and think of
a way to get here.

I can explain to
them why you're late.

But you designed this game.

You have to be here no
matter what. Hurry up.

I…

- What's wrong? What's going on?
- What happened?

- I think there was an explosion.
- Did it explode?

- Someone died.
- A lot of people died.

- My goodness.
- On the bridge…

You saw it too, right?

The terrorists set off the bomb
in the middle of the bridge.

Are you kidding me?

How could there be
terrorists in China?

- I have something urgent to do.
- Right?

I'm late now.

The call she made was
the police report.

The timing matches.

Who is the guy that
got off with her?

We're still pulling up CCTV footage to
look for people she interacted with.

- Verify this man's identity.
- I got it.

Xiao Heyun, where are you?
I'm at the big staircase.

- Hello?
- I…

Hello?

Hello?

Hello? Xiao Heyun?

Xiao Heyun!

Xiao Heyun, I know
what you're thinking.

You've been hesitating
for a month.

It's just deleting
the violent settings.

I just don't get it.

What's so bad about a game
being a little violent?

How many times have I told you?

With violent settings,
it won't sell.

If it doesn't sell and
no one invests in it,

we really can't do this game
anymore. Do you understand?

Hide!

Good for you! Just keep hiding!

If this is the last loop,

isn't this the last chance for
those people on the bus to live?

DIGITAL PLAZA

When I was in the hospital,

I witnessed
resuscitation attempts.

It was so tragic.

If the time loop
continues to move up,

I will get on the bus at
the University Town stop.

But what about you?

Will you still get on?

BUT IT ACCIDENTALLY EXPLODED

JIANG FENG, BRAVELY SACRIFICED

- About Jiang Feng...
- Is she the one who called the police?

MAY 9TH, 2019, THURSDAY

Here's the information.

We interrogated her
for almost two hours.

All she talked about
was a time loop.

Did you know her before?

No. I don't remember her.

What did she say?

A time loop?

She's stuck in a
time loop on the bus?

It sounds crazy,

but she insists on her story.

Moreover, she's not alone.

She seems to be very concerned

about whether the
police dispatched.

That's what's suspicious.

She is very concerned,
especially about you.

She said that she saw
you and Jiang Feng

in a previous loop,

but not this time.

That's why I asked
if you knew her.

Also, there's something
else that's strange.

Our task force was just formed.

How does she know about
you and Jiang Feng?

Mr. Zhang.

I HAVE READ THE ABOVE TRANSCRIPT

AND IT IS A TRUE
COPY OF MY STATEMENT.

Li Shiqing.

I read your statement.

I got the gist

of the time loop you mentioned.

In your statement,

I see that you said this twice.

"Why don't I see
Mr. Zhang and Mr. Jiang?"

Is that right?

How did you know they would
take part in this operation?

Because every time the police took
action, you both would be there.

But I didn't see you this time.

I thought something
happened to you.

We indeed

lost an officer.

Is it Mr. Jiang?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Why do you say that?

I called the police.

That's why Mr. Jiang died.

You were right to
call the police.

It's because you
called the police

that we were able to plan ahead

and stop the bus on the
river-crossing bridge.

Li Shiqing.

Calling the police right
away in an emergency

is the duty of every citizen.

Cooperating with the police

after the accident

and telling the truth

is also the duty
of every caller.

Do you understand?

I told the truth.

But no matter what I say,
whether I tell the truth or not,

you guys won't believe me.

I'm really at my wits' end.

I don't know what to do.

Li Shiqing.

I have a few more
questions for you.

After you called the police,

you turned off your
phone right away.

Why?

I wanted you guys to
dispatch immediately

and not waste time
questioning me on the phone.

It's because there
really wasn't any time.

After you turned off your phone,

as you were leaving
the bus stop,

you were mumbling.

Were you talking to yourself?

Or…

Were you talking
to someone else?

Do you not remember?

Do you know this boy?

YANJIANG EAST ROAD STOP, JIALIN

UNKNOWN NUMBER

Track this number and verify
the caller's identity.

Answer it. I'll
put it on speaker.

- Hello.
- Hello.

Li Shiqing.

Who is it?

It's Xiao Heyun.

MAY 9TH, 2019, THURSDAY

Are you still there?

We've broken up.
Don't call me again.

Go to sleep.

You'll be fine

after some sleep.
