Sometimes it’s good to be the chemistry major

So this gun shoots shotgun shells and makes serious damage…the shot from last episode must have just been visual effect to end episode. It was genius cooking the beers tho took a long while to activate. But that was a nice return shot to all of them. Mr book learned cop did decent fighting on his own. ZB got there just in time to finish things up. So this grudge is both ways as this prisoner was the partner of the one who shot cop we saw in flashback. I am pretty sure ZB wanted to blow his head off. The Blue Aurora has tipped its hand as being the spot for drug distribution. The owner has already been dealt with and Qin Yi has already claimed it as his. These guys sit around chatting and eating while somebody getting killed right beside them. Just another day at the office.😝 Bei’s new friend is dealing with the hotel owner’s son who is still intent on a hostile takeover of the cab business. He sits there so calmly eating noodles with total chaos all around him. 🤣 And for Bei’s own mom to speak up in his defense😂 So ZB is now painting a nice target on his back and it’s starting to include his family’s restaurant. He is trying to talk them into going away for awhile which is a really good idea. The godson is getting a chat because now Qin Yi wants to know why so close to ZB. He will now be walking an extra fine line between both worlds. The episode ends with the squad heading to Blue Aurora Club. I am liking this series. It’s nicely paced, the fights well choreographed, and the actors do a great job showing the juxtaposition of crime lord vs detective. It also is including the overlap that good and not so good people are still people and family. So there is a big messy gray area on both sides.

I get why Song Mo became the “traitor" in the first episode And honestly? You fucking deserved it.

You knew damn well who was guilty. You knew what they did. And instead of growing a spine and doing what’s right, you let Song Mo take the blame so you could sit there on your goddamn throne and pretend like justice was served. You sacrificed him not for peace, not for the people but to protect a bunch of motherfuckers who would stab you the second they got the chance.I cried when he said, “You have done this more than once. Why should I still endure this? Why should I still have hope in you?” that wasn’t a question, that was a goddamn funeral for whatever faith he had left in you. That shit broke meYou couldn’t even give justice to your own best friend… so why did I ever expect you to do it for his nephew?

Things heating up

Whoever just got out of prison has a big grudge with ZB and takes it to the restaurant. The legit taxis and the illegal cabbies get into an all out brawl as the younger tries to take out the older gen mobsters. This sin of hotel owner is loud, full of him self and thinking he’s ready to take the turf of the established gang. For one little dude, the godson does some serious damage. He finds himself chatting with Bei in the station. ZB is wasting his breath he just doesn’t know it yet. But this delay is costing his family since the released prisoner is there and things getting ugly. When he fired the shot was not expecting buckshot . I’m hoping the family makes it out the back and that Bei understands the clue GYR gave him.It is funny watching the rest of the crew try to be drug smelling dogs in the cabs. But as silly as that seems, they are starting to make progress in intercepting the drugs and understanding the logistics of distribution. All the drug lords are feeling it.

Private room bust

This episode has the chief rolling his ankle and going to hospital. While waiting, ZB tells GYS about his first and last drug bust with his two mentors. A motorcycle literally T-boned them. It turned out to be dealers and one mentor killed and the others severe leg injury from the unexpected shoot out. Both of these two have lost somebody due to drug trafficking and both invested in taking it dow. The drug lords aren’t happy that product is missing or with each other. The latest round has them on guard and wanting to finish their original deal and be done with each other. Our team finally having some of the training kicking in. ZB now recognizes the conductor is an addict. Through him, they learn that with him alone bribed, a dealer can basically run the entire train transporting goods with no checks. Very low tech and very efficient. We are now shown one of the bosses works through taxi company. The perp they missed the other day was targeted and eliminated. But the police getting their drugs isn’t sitting well with anybody. The underlings have been making their own side deals with the result of the first case with the brothers. They are now tightening up their men and inflicting death for disloyalty. It is making an impression. This venture is getting to the private rooms to find out who the dealers are and how they move product. Everything is going fine until ZXY comes across a room with old leches trying to rape a young waitress. She knows they are not supposed to mess this up, but she takes them to task anyways. The reinforcement cop worked with her to disguise it as a prostitution bust. ZB is beyond angry when the get back and has some very harsh words with her. He knows he went overboard but not about to admit it. So when he finds her sleeping at her desk he brings her food and offers to take her home. He then tells her other options to consider to stop the activity without blowing her cover. It is interesting watching the machinations from both sides of the law.
