Scare Out (惊蛰无声)

Suspect "Nathan" has appeared.

Walking at the north side of the road.

[Yan Di, Vice Team Captain, National Security Squad]

[Huang Kai, Vice Team Captain, National Security Squad]

- Vice Captain Huang. - Vice Captain Huang.

- Three minutes. - Drone.

All information on Nathan has been uploaded.

Drone auto-tracking is on.

Yan Di, how's it going?

Nothing out of the ordinary.

I'm here.

Watch that delivery guy.

Is this the one?

Thank you.

Can we confirm the materials?

- Unable to confirm. - Unable to confirm.

- Unable to confirm. - Follow them separately.

Don't move in yet.

San Yang and An An, follow the delivery guy.

Xiao Li, follow me. Hu Zi, prepare the car.

San Yang and An An, secure the delivery guy.

Check his orders. Take a photo and send it over.

- Hurry. - Delivery guy, 46 years old.

Six years of work experience.

Preliminary assessment, just an ordinary delivery guy.

The order has been sent over. I'll print it out right away.

The package was ordered online.

Contents are a metal box.

Suspected to contain high-tech classified materials.

Vice Captain Huang, this matches the intelligence we've received.

A common foreign intelligence tactic.

Yan Di, move in.

Nathan is running toward Jinghui Street.

Target temporarily lost.

Check all the surveillance cameras.

Yes, sir.

Vice Captain Huang, here.

- He's running toward Yong'an Road. - No surveillance in that area.

Chen Yi, keep a close eye on the drone.

Take manual control if necessary.

I'm going to support Vice Captain Yan.

Copy that.

Vice Captain Huang and Vice Captain Yan, based on mirror-simulation analysis,

and the AI calculated route,

you can block the target from both front and rear.

There's interference in the drone feed.

I'm taking manual control now.

The interference can't be eliminated.

Watch out.

Drone video feed restored.

Xiao Li and Vice Captain Huang were shot.

Nathan is escaping. Search the area immediately.

- Lin Lu, give first aid to Vice Captain Huang. - Yes, sir.

Sun Bin, follow me.

Vice Captain Huang, hang in there.

Chen Yi, that type of crossbow has limited range.

Maximum distance, 30 meters.

Deploy the drone. Locate that bastard immediately.

Yes, sir.

Done.

Stay with Xiao Li. I'm going after him.

Drone thermal imaging on.

Sniper located. Target is already wounded.

On the rooftop of the clothing store at the street entrance.

Hu Zi, get to the clothing store now.

Copy that.

Chen Yi, keep eyes on him.

We must not let this bastard get away.

There's no way he can disappear.

Search the area. Continue searching.

Understood.

Senior Brother, go back to where we were.

- Don't move! - Don't move!

Get out.

Get down.

Come out now.

Put the bag down.

Hands on your head.

- Done yet? - Hold on.

The wound has been stitched up.

No bones were damaged.

You'll need a few shots later. Rest for a week.

Okay. Thank you, doctor.

Let's go.

You took an arrow for me again.

That makes twice now. I owe you my life twice.

You are welcome. I'm your senior, after all.

Vice Captain Huang. Vice Captain Yan.

Let's go.

The patient's skin on the waist and abdomen is mostly deep second-degree burns,

with some third-degree burns.

Skin grafting will be required.

If that heat source had been removed any later,

his internal organs would have been burned.

Come in.

- Vice Captain Liu. - Director Liu.

- Are you all right? - I'm fine.

Dr. Chen.

Is there anything new?

Cursing. Just cursing over and over again.

He complained about how his agency treated him.

He will sue them once he's back to his country.

Other than the cursing, did he say anything important?

No clue.

- What? - He said he knew nothing.

He was just a pickup guy. He didn't know what was in it.

He didn't know about that sniper on the rooftop either.

He didn't know where the package was going.

He was just waiting there for someone to contact him.

As for who would contact him?

He did not know.

If he had known it was dangerous,

he wouldn't have taken the job.

Though his role is small, he's got quite a few demands.

What demands could he possibly have?

He said that if we test the materials and find any radioactive substances,

we have to inform him.

He wants to have children.

Would the law go easy on someone like him?

He misses his mom.

Misses his mom?

Jian Hao, give a briefing.

Because the metal box was handed over online,

the delivery guy had no idea about the sender.

The sniper who died is Pin Shan.

From Yunnan, unemployed.

Previously convicted for fighting. Released a year ago.

We are conducting background checks.

Basically, we can confirm he's just a hired desperado.

Where did the crossbow come from?

We're looking into it. Possibly stolen.

Where Vice Captain Yan was attacked, a drone jammer had been placed in advance.

That seemed to be their planned escape route.

The metal box was set to self-ignite on a timer.

So, we can't be sure what was inside.

The burnt remains have been sent to the forensics lab.

Director Wang.

I'll make an announcement. From now on, Zhao Hong is your team captain.

Everyone, take a seat.

Why haven't you had a rest?

I'm fine.

Li isn't here.

I have to work on his behalf.

Take care of yourselves.

Thank you for your concern, sir.

And you as well.

The case still needs to be investigated.

The sooner we catch the person who provided the confidential materials,

the sooner Li can rest easy.

You all continue.

You know me, so I won't introduce myself.

There are three things to announce.

First, as to the damaged metal box Nathan was carrying,

I have already contacted the Ministry.

It will be sent to Beijing for testing tomorrow.

Once we know the composition inside,

we will know what was contained and can follow the clues to find the traitor.

Second, who is Chen Yi, the head of the technical team?

I am Chen Yi.

Last night, Chen Yi operated the drone and hit Pin Shan,

causing him to fall to his death.

The trail has since gone cold.

We have decided to investigate this matter.

Please come to me after the meeting.

Understood.

The third matter is... Meeting adjourned.

Everyone, go home and get some rest.

There's more work ahead.

This is an order.

Vice Captain Huang, Vice Captain Yan, come with me.

Zhao, that was not cool.

No heads-up before transferring back?

How's Xiao Yu doing lately?

Pretty good.

Let me make it clear first, I'm not here to take anyone's position.

Especially not yours, Vice Captain Huang.

We're glad to have you back.

The three of us are all in leadership.

Then let's be straightforward.

Actually, I'm here on a special mission.

Intelligence indicates someone within is being turned by a foreign agency.

Is being turned or has been turned?

- Is being turned. - At what level?

- Leadership. - In our team?

Not necessarily.

For now, only the three of us know.

Keep it confidential.

So, what really went on with Chen Yi's drone?

We need to think about this differently.

Chen Yi is clean.

Then who's the problem?

Can you vouch for that?

We all know that a mole within

would cause incalculable damage to national security.

So, we need to investigate the case while also tracking the mole.

This operation is called "Scare out".

I'll need to speak with each of you separately.

Last night, the drone was on auto-tracking.

So, why did the video signal suddenly drop?

The other side used a jammer.
