00:00At a casino, Luke angrily sought out the manager of the boxing club where he worked
00:04and gave him a beating. He was stopped by the manager's henchman. The guy said that Luke was
00:08the one causing trouble, as last night he was supposed to lose, not punch his opponent sending
00:13him to the hospital. Luke said that he only punched the guy once and he passed out, so this
00:17guy wasn't a professional fighter. Why did you guys intentionally put someone who couldn't even
00:22fight into the ring? The manager said that it didn't matter who the kid was. Luke was supposed
00:26to take a dive like always. He said that the Russian mafia had bet a lot of money on this
00:30match and Luke winning had cost them tens of millions of dollars. And for sure, the Russian
00:35crime boss Emil wouldn't leave Luke alone. Just watch your head and the safety of your
00:40wife and child. Sensing danger, Luke immediately returned home. On the way, he called his wife
00:45telling her to go out, don't come home. But he didn't know that it was already too late.
00:49When he saw, the criminals had massacred his wife and child. They made him kneel on the
00:54ground and started insulting Luke. The leader of the killers was Vasily. This guy was the
00:59son of the boss Emil, and today he came here on his father's orders to teach him a lesson.
01:04He said that Luke himself was the one who killed his wife, not them, because he was supposed
01:08to be down on the canvas. He cursed Luke, saying that last night his family suffered a huge loss,
01:13and his old father back home was furiously smashing up the whole house, killing his wife,
01:18because they wanted him to suffer. And Luke should feel lucky he didn't have any siblings
01:22or parents, because otherwise, they would also be riddled with bullets by these killers.
01:27At this moment, Luke's face was full of indignation, but because these guys all had guns,
01:32he had to endure and wait for a chance for revenge. Vasily saw his silence and was pleased,
01:38thinking he was a coward. He had his men investigate Luke's background and look down on him seeing he used
01:43to sweep streets and collect trash. This guy said he'd let Luke live, but if he talked to anyone,
01:48they would kill that person, and warned him to get out of the house immediately, or they would kill
01:53Luke's kind, elderly neighbor. Fearing harm to her, he got on a train and left right after that.
01:58They even assigned people to watch him 24-7. Even when a boy came to greet him, admiring him from
02:03the ring, Luke didn't dare respond, fearing they would harm the teenager. After that, he wandered to
02:09a place for the homeless, but could only sleep there at night and had to leave the next morning.
02:13When he saw the person in the next bed still sleeping, Luke intended to wake him up, but
02:18discovered this person had been killed by the Russian assassins to intimidate him. Because last
02:22night, he had talked with this man. The security guard questioned him why, but Luke replied he
02:27didn't know. And why did these two guys overseeing security still let this happen? After that, he was
02:33kicked out of the center and banned from returning. While wandering, he was accidentally bumped into by a
02:38man, but Luke let it go. He went into a store intending to buy food, but discovered his wallet had
02:43been swiped by that old man at some point without him noticing. Thinking about this, he burst out
02:48laughing, causing the store owner to call the police to throw him out. Luke was put in a car and taken
02:53to the station. It turned out these two cops were Luke's former partners. He used to be a cop in New
02:58York, but during an instance of reporting internal corruption, he was framed by dirty cops and superiors
03:03and pushed out of the force. He was taken by some colleagues to an abandoned building and beaten up
03:08as revenge for what happened before. The cops said they knew the Russian killers harming his family
03:13was what he deserved for being a snitch. They mocked Luke's pain of losing his wife and child
03:18and said that his wife, Annie, made a mistake choosing a cowardly loser like him, only to bring
03:24disaster upon herself. While talking, these guys didn't forget to kick him to vent their anger.
03:29One guy said he should just end his own life because now Luke was living worthlessly like a cheap dog.
03:34He gave Luke a gun and said he could use it to shoot himself in the head and go meet his wife.
03:39Despite being taunted by these guys, Luke didn't do anything at all.
03:42He went to the subway and intended to end it, feeling guilty towards his family for not
03:47protecting them better. He looked at the tracks and prepared to jump when the train arrived.
03:52Right at that moment, Luke saw a little girl with a terrified expression running away in the station.
03:57Temporarily, he had to help the girl. Then he would jump down there later.
04:00As Luke sat to one side observing the situation, he saw five or six Russian men walking towards where
04:06the girl had just hidden. When the leader turned his face, Luke recognized him as one of the killers
04:11who murdered his wife that day. He quickly got on the train to follow them, but the doors had closed,
04:16so Luke ran after it. He clung onto the train car then tried to bang on the door to get inside.
04:21Seeing the situation wasn't good, Luke climbed on top to jump into the train. At this time,
04:26the little girl was terrified, running from the Russian killers, but had reached a dead end.
04:31As they were about to catch up, Luke attacked one of them from behind. He took them down one by one
04:36quickly, completely different from his usual, enduring demeanor. He punched the killer repeatedly
04:41in the face, but was put in a chokehold from behind by another. Luke struggled hard to break free.
04:47He slammed them onto the floor like trash, for daring to underestimate him so much.
04:51Then, he quickly disarmed the killer, then broke his arm, making the guy scream in agony.
04:56After seeing Luke was still alive, the killer said he was just a lowly garbage collector,
05:00but Luke said, you're wrong. I used to be a cop, then gave him a bullet as revenge against these
05:06villains. Afterwards, he didn't forget to snatch their wallets too, because now he didn't have a
05:10single penny. He approached the little girl and said he wouldn't hurt her. People saw him just
05:15shoot the killers and assumed Luke was a bad guy. May was also afraid he was sent by the criminals to
05:20catch her, so the girl quickly ran away outside. He quickly ran to find her, but the girl had been
05:25caught and put into a car by two cops. But luckily, Luke managed to rescue the girl in time.
05:30He pummeled his former colleagues relentlessly to retaliate for them ganging up on him.
05:35He realized it wasn't just the killers, but many factions wanted to capture this girl.
05:39Luke quickly led May away to escape. Meanwhile, the boss Emil was furious that his men let an
05:45important asset like May slip away. The killers said the one who took the Chinese girl wasn't the
05:50cops, nor the Chinatown guys. He was a stranger. The boss said if they couldn't catch May, then just
05:55kill her, because this girl already held too many secrets. Luke was very curious why the girl
06:00was being hunted by so many bad guys, but May didn't want to answer. The killers chased
06:05from behind, constantly shooting towards his and May's car. Luke drove onto a one-way street
06:10and swerved, terrifying the girl. He deliberately tricked a truck to come towards them, and when
06:15the killers were about to follow, Luke quickly turned the steering wheel, causing the truck
06:20to slam into the car of those chasing him. Another group started chasing. He diverted them
06:24into an alley. When these guys got out, he ambushed them from behind and gave them a few
06:29lead candies. Luke picked up a gun, then approached where May was hiding. The girl saw this man wasn't
06:34like the bad guys, so she followed him. After buying some supplies, he and May hid in a hotel
06:39using the ID of the Russian guy, he just got on the train. Luke sat talking with the girl and asked
06:44about the situation. May said, why did you save me? He said, it was you who saved me, because in a
06:50moment of despair intending to end my life. You gave me a reason to live, which is to dare to
06:55stand up to protect others and avenge those who murdered my loved ones. May recounted that a year
07:00ago, she was still in Beijing, and life was going very well. The story flashed back to when she was
07:06studying in China. One day, May went up to solve a problem given by the teacher, and the school
07:10discovered May was a genius. The girl had the talent to memorize long strings of numbers millions of
07:16units long, as well as superhuman calculation abilities. Although very sad, May still had to
07:22say goodbye to her friends, because the principal said that if she agreed to study at schools for
07:26geniuses, they would sponsor her mother's medical treatment. So May agreed. After that, she was taken
07:31to meet a powerful billionaire in Beijing. His name was Han Jiao. The old man was also a transnational
07:37money-laundering crime boss. The reason he brought May here was to test her talent and wanted to exploit it
07:42for his business dealings. May refused to help him, because although she was only 10, she possessed
07:47superior intelligence, so she knew Han Jiao wasn't a good person. But this old man threatened that if
07:53May wasn't as smart as rumored, he would cause her mother to die. Seeing this, May tried to hold back
07:58tears to prove her memorization ability to him. Han Jiao smiled with satisfaction, having secured a trump
08:04card like May. With her, he would become richer. He took May to Chinatown in New York to help manage the
08:09profits of his stores. The girl used her superior calculation skills to report the financial situation
08:15of each business household in Chinatown. Han Jiao's subordinate was very pleased seeing the girl recite a
08:20pile of figures fluently. He continued to ask about the casino's business situation, but seeing the girl
08:26hesitate, he threatened May to tell the truth. May worriedly said the casino was operating at a loss. The reason
08:32she didn't want to say was knowing the manager would come beat up the people in the casino for causing them to
08:37lose profits. He forced May to watch the scene of that guy being beaten. Afterwards, he warned all his
08:43subordinates that if they didn't perform well, they would all be eliminated like the owner, understand?
08:48So they better mind their business. May strongly disapproved of their actions. So in the restaurant,
08:53the girl remained silent, not even touching her chopsticks. May said to the manager, why beat the
08:59casino owner when he was about to kill someone? The manager said, you're too young, you don't understand
09:04business, and told May to be quiet. At night, when going to sleep, a woman came to the girl's bedside
09:10and informed her that May's mother had died in the hospital two weeks ago. These guys won't tell you,
09:15but the woman hopes May can pray for her mother's soul in heaven. The woman said, May, don't cry and
09:21don't reveal this to anyone. The girl nodded in agreement and said she wouldn't cry loudly. The next
09:26morning, the Chinese boss Han Jiao flew from Beijing to New York to meet May. He gave her a piece of paper
09:31full of numbers and made the girl memorize it. May glanced at it for a second and memorized the
09:36entire sequence, surprising Han Jiao greatly. He smiled contentedly and told his subordinate,
09:42take good care of the girl. Then, the boss burned the paper and instructed that there was important
09:47work May needed to help with. While escorting May back, the car of these Chinese men was ambushed by a
09:52gang of killers. They were precisely the Russian mafia led by Emil. Seeing his men all wiped out by the
09:59Russians. The manager intended to shoot May to silence her because the girl knew too much. But
10:04luckily for May, the girl ran outside but was caught by an enemy killer, put into a car, and taken before
10:10Emil. This guy demanded May write down the number sequence the Chinese mafia had given her. But the
10:15girl refused. May questioned, who told you about this? It turned out to be the woman who had come to
10:21inform May about her mother's death. The woman advised the girl to reveal everything and she would be given
10:26a lot of money, like herself. But with her intelligence and sky-high IQ, May knew everything.
10:32She cursed the woman. You fool. These guys will kill us both if they get what they want.
10:36The woman translated to Emil that May refused to cooperate. Immediately, Vasily came and shot her
10:42straight in the head. When this guy pointed the gun threatening the girl, the police knocked on the
10:46door outside. It turned out the Chinese gang had called the police beforehand. The city cops took
10:51bribes from the Chinese group. Each month they would get a 7% cut of the profits, so they were
10:56willing to work for the Chinese. However, the Russian mafia wasn't easy either. Emil called the
11:01police station chief, Wolf. He was willing to pay 10%, higher than the Chinese, and demanded the
11:07police get out of there immediately. Of course, Wolf was a greedy guy, he wanted to benefit from both
11:12sides, so he gave ambiguous answers to both the Chinese and Russian gangs. Wolf told the officers under
11:17his command, capture the Chinese girl alive. If the Russians have harmed the girl, then shoot all
11:23the Russian mafia dead. Wolf wondered what was so special about May that made so many people fight
11:27over her. He also wanted to snatch the girl for himself, so he thought of a way to intercept her
11:32from both sides. Taking advantage of the chaotic situation, May quickly hid in the restroom, then climbed
11:38down from the window and escaped. After that, May ran towards the subway, then she met Luke.
11:43And what happened next, everyone already knows. In the hotel room, May wanted to avoid Luke's
11:48questions, because the girl thought that after knowing her ability, he would also become evil
11:53and exploit her for wicked deeds. Moreover, May said that although she was smart and had a knack
11:58for numbers, May hated math. The girl just wanted a normal life of a 10-year-old girl, likes watching
12:04cartoons, likes going out to play. May didn't know what Han Zhao gave her such a long code for,
12:09but according to May, those meaningless numbers contained some secret, because before
12:13certain special numbers, she noticed there would be a 3 and a 7, even though they were random
12:18numbers. But every 5 numbers there was a 7 in front. Every 8 numbers there was a 3 in front,
12:23as if there was some arrangement here. However, Luke believed May hadn't dared to tell him the
12:28whole truth. He said, they are actually letters, not numbers. This is the code for a safe. It must be
12:34known that Luke also had excellent reasoning skills, because before he was a cop, who had busted
12:39countless criminal rings. May said, you look a bit crazy, but not stupid at all. On Han Zhao's
12:45subordinate's side, after being tasked by the boss to find the girl at all costs, he had scoured every
12:50corner of New York, but found no trace of May. At this time, the subordinate tracked the locator
12:55they planted on the girl, and found out that she was in the hotel on the street. He went into the lobby
13:00and demanded the staff tell him the room number Luke had rented. This guy pretended to be the girl's
13:05father and accused Luke of being the one who kidnapped her. But the receptionist said she
13:09would ask the police for help. Then this guy pointed a gun and threatened her. Either tell me,
13:14or let him give you a hole between the eyes. As soon as he finished speaking, the hotel security
13:19team arrived to intervene, and a very tense shootout occurred between the two sides. Luke realized there
13:25were gunshots. He looked down at the street and saw several Chinese men gathering in front of the
13:29door. He quickly went to get weapons. Before leaving, he asked the girl to write down the number
13:34sequence, and only the numbers she found special. He said if she got caught, she should tell them
13:39she hadn't told them anything, otherwise they would harm her. As for the killers, after getting
13:44the room number they rented, they ran inside, suppressed everyone inside, and forbade anyone
13:49from running out. After finishing writing the code, Luke led May outside, then encountered a stranger,
13:55so Luke shot him down immediately. He pulled May down the stairs, and ran down a shortcut leading
14:00to the dining hall, but there were already several subordinates guarding there. Luke rushed forward to
14:05fight them, causing guests to take this opportunity to escape outside. One guy rushed in to grapple with
14:10Luke, but was knocked down by his elbow. He slammed another guy down, breaking a dining table in half.
14:15More and more guys rushed up to gang up on him, but Luke soloed them all. But while escaping, May was
14:21caught by the Chinese man. Immediately, they shot towards him. Luke quickly jumped out the window to
14:26escape. The brawl had alerted the police. They brought forces to surround the building and
14:30exchanged fire with the Chinese mafia. At this time, Luke caught the attention of the police and was
14:35pursued. Luke stole a car stopped in the middle of the road, kicked the driver out, then quickly drove
14:40away. After driving a distance, he abandoned the car in a corner, then took a taxi to avoid being
14:46followed. In the car, he got the mafia guy's phone and imitated his voice to call Vasily. He pretended to
14:52be his subordinate and said, I got the code from the Chinese girl. Vasily told him to text it,
14:57but Luke said the code was very long and wanted to meet in person to deliver it securely.
15:02Luke successfully lured Vasily and arranged to meet him at a restaurant to hand over the code.
15:07On the other side, the manager herded everyone out of the hotel to distract the police,
15:12helping them blend into the crowd and escape. A few cops noticed they were suspicious,
15:16so they stopped them, but were met with return fire. Afterwards, the police department quickly
15:21received news that Luke had returned and was involved in this case. The city's mayor Tremello
15:26called police chief Wolf in for questioning. He said that he himself had previously assigned Luke
15:30to Wolf's special task force, so this old guy knew him well. Luke was a sharp guy. Within just one year,
15:36he had dismantled seven criminal organizations within New York. The pile of drugs Wolf's team found
15:42was actually Luke letting them take the credit, while Luke was a ghost acting silently. No one knew what
15:47he was thinking or what he would do. But Wolf's men and himself, turned greedy, had framed Luke.
15:53Although he was a cold person, he was very honest, and that got him kicked out to the middle of nowhere
15:57to box for a living. But in reality, Tremello was no better than Wolf's group. He always pretended to
16:03love the country and care for the people, but behind the scenes were dirty deals. He not only turned a
16:08blind eye to dark forces running rampant, but also pulled strings indirectly to control the corrupt
16:13police. He told his subordinate. Blockade every street corner. Don't let Luke and Mei escape,
16:19because things won't simply be gangs settling scores. Old Han Zhao was a cunning fox, and Tremello knew
16:25what to do with him. As for Mei, the girl was captured and brought before Han Zhao. He asked who
16:30Luke was, but the girl said she didn't know. Just as Luke predicted, the boss asked the girl about the
16:35number sequence. Luckily Mei was smart. The girl said she hadn't revealed anything yet. Mei acted
16:41realistically. She even squeezed out a few tears to make Han Zhao trust her more. At the appointed
16:46time, Luke stopped in front of the restaurant as he told Vasily, not forgetting to bring a girl along
16:51to avoid their watchful eyes. After observing for a while, Luke identified their defensive positions.
16:57He slowly approached the bar. Suddenly, he stabbed one of Vasily's men in the neck. His comrades saw this
17:03and quickly drew their guns, but were swiftly shot down by Luke. After killing the guy at the bar,
17:08he forced Vasily into the kitchen, then asked the staff in the restaurant where his car was.
17:13After taking Vasily hostage, he called his father, the boss Emil, and announced,
17:18I'm holding your precious son here. But old Emil said, don't think holding Vasily can extort money
17:23from me. If you're so capable, just kill that useless brat and get it over with. But Luke said,
17:29I don't intend to kill this guy, but I will torture him, making Vasily wish he was never born.
17:34Then, he threatened Emil that he would make Vasily reveal his plan. Naturally, at this point,
17:40Emil's weakness had been grasped. The plan to rob the safe in the bank, then sell that information
17:45to his rival gang, the Chinese criminals. Then, he threatened Emil that after eliminating the old
17:50man, he would come play with his wife and make his children call him dad. Hearing this, Emil was furious
17:56with him, but couldn't do anything. So he lowered his voice and asked what he wanted. He asked the old
18:01man what was in the safe that both sides wanted to hunt down. Emil said it contained $30 million.
18:07Next, Luke asked what the second safe contained, because he knew the Chinese were taking May to
18:12open the second safe. But Emil was a cunning old fox. He only told half the story. But Luke let it go
18:18too. He demanded Emil tell him the location of the first safe. After the threats, finally, Luke managed
18:24to extract the safe information from Emil. Then, he locked Vasily straight into the trunk of the car.
18:29After waking up, he realized Luke was very strong and wondered why he had sat still and endured the
18:35beating before. But Luke didn't want this guy babbling, so he taped his mouth shut. Then,
18:40he arranged to meet the cops to discuss. Because Luke said, I have the code to the safe containing
18:45$30 million. These dirty cops were blinded by the money and thought they could get the money and
18:50split it. He leisurely ate a pastry, ignoring their impatient greetings. But Luke took a lighter and
18:56burned the piece of paper with the code. And he said, now everything is in my head. If anyone dares
19:02to shoot, think again about that huge amount of money. One guy asked, why did the Chinese guy hide
19:07the safe in the casino? Luke immediately quipped, because there's a whole bunch of corrupt cops,
19:13both collecting protection money from the gambling den and keeping them stable. What else? Fearing they
19:18wouldn't believe him. He even showed them Vasily, the Russian boss's son, and said that later he would
19:23have a hostage exchange with Emil. Of course, these cops were still mad about Luke exposing their
19:28corruption, so they didn't trust him completely. They told Chief Wolf not to risk it, because his
19:33future in the forest could go much further. Luke sneered, saying, Mommy tells Wolf about his future,
19:39because his superiors will soon eliminate Wolf when he's no longer useful. Seeing Luke's words made
19:44sense, Wolf went along with it. And so the whole group of former colleagues split up to act.
19:49They armed themselves carefully. All six men advanced aggressively towards the disco.
19:53Wolf fired a shot into the air and chased everyone out of the bar. At this moment,
19:58a few killer subordinates of Han Zhao arrived and fired guns towards the group. But these cops,
20:03although greedy, were quite good shots. They easily eliminated a few small fries.
20:08Soon enough, all six men proceeded down to the basement to enter the casino. Both sides drew their guns
20:14and fired at the opponents. The advantage was leaning towards Luke and his partners. The team
20:19coordinated well under Wolf's direction, causing the Chinese killers to be quickly eliminated by
20:24more than half. Luke soloed against them. A guy in the room saw this, then pressed the button to lock
20:29the door, intending to trap him inside. Everyone outside saw this, then shot at the door wanting to
20:34save Luke, but unfortunately, the bullets ricocheted back, shattering Wolf's teammate's hand. Wolf saw this,
20:40so he shot his teammate dead, then pretended to blame the killer for shooting him. One guy from
20:45the gang called back to the boss and reported, Cops are surrounding the casino and need reinforcements
20:50urgently because our men are almost all down. After finding the door containing the safe,
20:56Wolf ordered his subordinate to plant a bomb to break it. Then, Wolf demanded he open the safe.
21:02But these three guys had already cocked their guns, waiting for him to open the safe so they could
21:06eliminate Luke right away. Luke wasn't stupid. He demanded they throw away all their weapons before
21:12he would open it. After confirming it was safe, he approached to turn the combination lock.
21:16When he was close to opening it, he turned around and shot the three colleagues before they could
21:21kill him. But Wolf was still alive, so he forced him to turn the dial while he would read the code.
21:26$30 million were stuffed tightly in the safe. The reason he didn't eliminate Wolf right away was
21:31because Luke needed to escape suspicion from the cops, and this guy was the chief,
21:35so if he walked out with him, Luke wouldn't be arrested. Then, he tied up and threw Wolf into
21:40the trunk with Vasily. Now that he had hostages from both sides, the police and the Russian mafia,
21:46Luke decided to play them all. First, he contacted Emil, then old Tremelo, the city mayor. He said,
21:53I'm holding the $30 million you want. The condition is to contact Alex. He was the former colleague
21:58Tremelo assigned to work with Luke. This guy knew everything, so Luke asked what the second safe
22:03contained. He replied, It contains a CD with information on officials who took bribes.
22:09After hearing Alex say that, Luke immediately connected the events. Alex and Tremelo conspired
22:14to sell the CD to the Chinese, so they could blackmail the officials, and Alex's group would
22:19get $30 million and flee. But Luke said he would give the $30 million to Alex, since he wanted money
22:25anyway. But he wanted Alex to rescue May, and use that as the condition for exchange with them.
22:30So all three got what they needed. The Chinese group got the CD, Alex and Tremelo got the money,
22:35and he would save May. One arrow, three targets. After ending the call with Luke, Alex went to the
22:40transaction point with the Chinese guys to hand over the CD. Alex said exactly what Luke told him.
22:46He wanted May as the condition for exchange, no longer needing the money. Suddenly, he pulled a
22:51pin from his chest and stabbed the person opposite him. Alex was a killer as skilled as Luke. He easily
22:56took down the entire group of gangsters, then took May to meet Luke. On this side, Luke had
23:01infiltrated the city mayor's office and tricked an employee into calling Tremelo into the room.
23:06He demanded he give him the duplicate disc, because he knew full well Tremelo was a cunning old fox,
23:12always leaving himself a way out. He would make a copy, then continue blackmailing officials.
23:17Afterwards, he went to the riverbank where he had arranged to meet Alex to exchange money for May.
23:22Alex took May hostage and threatened Luke, because he had heard Tremelo tell everything about Luke
23:27taking the duplicate CD yesterday. Then both lowered their weapons to step forward and get
23:32what they needed. Suddenly, May shot Alex in the leg, causing him to fall. Luke added another shot,
23:37killing Alex instantly. After rescuing May, Luke opened the car door and gave Wolf $50,000 to ensure
