Robin: "Then I'll check online to see if what Zhou Ke said is true."
Jordan: "No need to check. There won't be much information online; it has all been suppressed by the public relations efforts of Hai Bin Pharmaceutical Company. But what he said is probably true."
Robin: "Probably true? How do you know?"
Jordan: "Hai Bin City is my hometown. The situation there is indeed as he described. Hai Bin Pharmaceutical Company is a major taxpayer and directly supports the livelihood of tens of thousands of people. The local government can't afford to offend them." — Revealing the truth
Robin: "Your hometown is Hai Bin City, and you know the real situation? Why didn't you say anything earlier? You didn't even say a word before..." — Wanting to blame
Gordon: "Enough, now is not the time for internal conflicts. We need to unite and focus on taking action against Hai Bin Pharmaceutical Company." — Stopping the impending internal conflict
I (Voiceover): "Yeah, getting a sponsorship from Hai Bin Pharmaceutical Company is the most important thing right now."
Gordon: "Zhou Ke, I believe what you said. I plan to do a special episode for you, as a follow-up to the capture of the mentally ill patients. Are you willing to assist us?"
Zhou Ke: "Yes, yes, as long as I can clear my name and expose the illegal activities of Hai Bin Pharmaceutical Company, I will do whatever the director asks. I will fully cooperate with the production team." — Like a terminally ill patient finally seeing hope, his eyes were moist with emotion
Gordon: "You will do whatever I ask? Don't think that way. What you need to do is tell your true story, without exaggeration or fabrication. The truth is the most powerful weapon against Hai Bin Pharmaceutical Company."
Zhou Ke: "I understand. I have so much to say, and I've been holding it in for four years. No one believed me before because I was framed as a mental patient." — Feeling wronged
Gordon: "Don't worry. The production team will arrange for a psychiatrist from Arkham Mental Hospital to conduct a comprehensive, professional, and legally binding psychiatric evaluation for you. The entire process will be recorded and included in the program to clear your name."
Zhou Ke: "Thank you, thank you..." — Deeply moved
Gordon: "What you need to do now is to recall, carefully recall, and ensure that the important details such as the time, place, and people involved are accurate. Then organize your words so we can help you clear your name and expose the illegal activities of Hai Bin Pharmaceutical Company."
Zhou Ke: "Yes, yes." — Starting to recall
Gordon: "Don't try to recall here now. You are too agitated. Find a place to relax first, and then think slowly... Dent."
Dent: "What do you need, Director?"
Gordon: "Take Mr. Zhou Ke to the GCTV guesthouse and settle him in. I will arrange for a psychiatric evaluation tomorrow morning, and then have him confront the chairman of Hai Bin Pharmaceutical Company."
Zhou Ke: "Confront the chairman? Is the chairman of Hai Bin Pharmaceutical Company coming to Gotham City tomorrow?" — Surprised
Gordon: "Not tomorrow morning, but the chairman of Hai Bin Pharmaceutical Company will be in Gotham City this afternoon to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the expansion of their chemical plant in Gotham City. Your timing to come to Gotham City is really 'coincidental,' isn't it?" — Smiling sarcastically
Zhou Ke: "Ah, yes, yes, perhaps it is fate. Not only did I meet you, a group of kind and just people, but the chairman of Hai Bin Pharmaceutical Company, the mastermind, is also here to help me clear my name..." — Finding an excuse
I (Voiceover): "...Is this really a coincidence?"
Gordon: "...Strange, I can't tell if he is lying. Is everything he said true? Or am I being influenced or interfered with by someone?" — Muttering, suspicious
Gordon: "Yes, this is fate. Heaven has eyes and will not let the bad go unpunished or the good be wronged. So don't think about other things now. After you settle into the guesthouse, focus on recalling your story. Stay there honestly and don't do anything foolish. Tomorrow, your name will be cleared." — Hinting
Zhou Ke: "Yes, I understand. I won't do anything foolish..."
Gordon: "Good, Dent, take Mr. Zhou Ke to the guesthouse. Stay with him, talk to him, and keep him company. Also, protect him." — Giving a meaningful look
Dent: "I understand, Director. Mr. Zhou Ke, please follow me. I will take you to the guesthouse."
Zhou Ke: "Sure, thank you for showing me the way." — Following Dent
Dent: "No need to be polite. The guesthouse is just across the street..." — Getting up to lead the way
After Dent and Zhou Ke left
Wayne: "Zhou Ke didn't come to Gotham City just for a psychiatric evaluation, did he? The timing is too coincidental."
Robin: "Yeah, he said his goal was always Beijing. Is he planning to do something foolish this time?"
Gordon: "If he was just here for a psychiatric evaluation, would I have sent you two to catch him? I could have just had him come to Arkham Mental Hospital and bring him here."
I (Voiceover): "So that's how it is. The old man is really cunning."
Robin: "It's a good thing we controlled him directly at Arkham Mental Hospital. Otherwise, there might have been a real tragedy." — Feeling relieved
Wayne: "Is it appropriate to have Dent watch him alone? What if Zhou Ke escapes from the guesthouse when Dent isn't paying attention?"
Gordon: "Don't worry. Zhou Ke won't run. He has renewed hope and is no longer in a state of despair. People with hope and a future won't do desperate or crazy things. So having Dent watch him alone is enough."
Wayne: "That's true."
Robin: "But what if Zhou Ke is taken by people from Hai Bin Pharmaceutical Company? He said they have been trying to capture him."
Gordon: "We'll see about that. This is Gotham City, the GCTV building, my territory. The people from Hai Bin Pharmaceutical Company won't dare to act rashly in broad daylight..."
Kent: "That's not necessarily true." — Suddenly interjecting
Gordon: "...What did you hear? (Knowing Kent has super hearing)"
Jonathan: "Director, my call with Dent was suddenly cut off." — Holding his phone, pretending to receive a report
I (Voiceover): "Is something really happening? Is the old man in trouble?"
Gordon: "Damn it, daring to act against me? Do they want to die? Quickly go downstairs and see what's happening."
Wayne, Robin, and the camera crew rushed downstairs and saw Dent and the security guards holding down an unidentified person, but Zhou Ke was nowhere to be found.
Wayne: "Where is Zhou Ke?"
Dent: "He was taken by a group of unidentified people and driven away. I only managed to catch this one."
Robin: "Who are you? How dare you kidnap someone in broad daylight? Is there no law and order?"
Lackey Ding: "Hmph, law and order? Didn't you also kidnap him before? You should worry about yourselves. Do you know what trouble you've caused..." — Threatening, with a sinister smile
I (Voiceover): "Damn, you still dare to be so arrogant at this moment? Wait until you can't even smile."
