Episode Summary
In 2000, undercover cop Guo Pengfei busts thief siblings Jinjiao/Yinjiao during a chaotic train heist. By 2004, he mentors rookie Li Tang in Licheng’s anti-theft unit tackling toxic liquor thefts, health secrets, and quirky colleagues – all while battling explosive diarrhea.
Spoiler Alert
Our story kicks off in Y2K China with undercover cop Guo Pengfei living his best life on a train - devouring roast chicken like it's his last meal while rocking a questionable disguise. His messy eating draws side-eye from a fashionable girl spraying perfume like he's biohazard. But Guo's not here for fine dining - he's tailing notorious thief brothers Jinjiao and Yinjiao.
The action heats up when Jinjiao gropes passenger Wu Xia, causing a commotion perfect for Yinjiao to pickpocket the crowd. Plot twist - Wu's actually their accomplice! Their entire scheme gets photographed by Guo's partner Sanbao. When the trio tries to bail at the next stop, our chicken-loving hero blocks their escape.
Wu tries restraining Guo (rookie mistake), leading to handcuffs and a wild chase where passengers become impromptu heroes. After Jinjiao pulls a knife, Guo takes him down WWE-style while Yinjiao goes full action movie villain - climbing train roofs and unleashing fire extinguisher fog. Our persistent cop eventually hogties both brothers in a death-defying rooftop showdown.
Flash to 2004: Fresh-faced police academy grad Li Tang arrives at Licheng Station where Guo's now transferred. First day chaos ensues when:
- Li mistakes plainclothes cop Mao Zhichao for a thief during an earring heist
- A female thief swipes a wallet containing chemical-filled liquor bottles (drink this and you're toast)
- Veteran cop Li Hongqi tries quitting due to chronic back pain but gets guilt-tripped into staying
The episode's wildest subplot involves recovering those toxic booze bottles from a birthday party (grandpa nearly got poisoned!). Meanwhile, stoic doctor Li Xiaolian disinfects everything germaphobe-style after messy colleague encounters.
By episode's end:
✓ Guo's hiding a liver transplant condition
✓ Random drug addicts pull fake gun scams
✓ Our heroes bond over chaotic car chases and explosive diarrhea (yes, really)
The Real MVP: That fire extinguisher scene lives rent-free in our heads. Also, why does every Chinese cop drama have someone getting stuff stolen from trains? Asking for 1.4 billion friends.
Final Verdict: This premiere serves chaotic energy with extra dumplings. If Jackie Chan and Buster Keaton had a CCTV-baby, it'd be Guo Pengfei faceplanting off trains while saving the day. We're hooked!
