00:00This is eSoup, aka Specific Soup, and today I'm reacting to episode 12 of Justice in the Dark.
00:08And boy am I excited to find out what the heck was going on with that truck.
00:13Um, last episode was so intense and I was on the edge of my seat, and I feel like it might continue that way.
00:20But, like, I wanna see some of this mystery revealed, because it feels like as the show moves along,
00:27everything is connected. Like, everything.
00:30And every episode I'm like, wait a minute, what's happening here? What is this?
00:34There's just all these conspiracy theories, like, popping up in my mind.
00:39And I'm sure there's gonna be even more once I've seen this one.
00:42So, I'm gonna get right into it. Here's episode 12.
00:46I'm locked in. I'm ready.
00:50What does that say? No, what does that say? They make it so hard to see.
00:56How am I supposed to look at the English there?
00:59Maybe it was easier to see when there was Chinese over it. I don't know.
01:03I have no idea. Something of something. That's all I got.
01:18I don't know, man. You were suspicious as heck.
01:21So are you, old junk.
01:33Or is he suspicious, too? I don't even know.
01:51Right, it wasn't locked, because it opened up at the end.
01:59Hmm.
02:03So, is it like set up? Like, is the brother in on it?
02:09Okay.
02:14Okay.
02:17So, maybe they really kidnapped him, but they didn't intend for him to die.
02:22Now, that plan could easily go poorly, because just because your truck is unlocked
02:27doesn't mean that someone can easily get out when it's, like, underwater and they've just been beat up.
02:32Like, that could have gone wrong so easily.
02:34But I can kind of see a possibility that, like, yeah, they really kidnapped him.
02:37He's not in on it, but they didn't mean for him to die.
02:46Hello?
02:50Who is- who is there?
02:52Huh? Huh?
02:56Why do I feel weird about this?
03:01Oh, okay.
03:03I thought- for some reason I thought the person who was in the room giving him water, like,
03:07we weren't seeing who it was, and I was like, did they want to hurt him?
03:10Is this a trick? I missed what he said.
03:17Oh.
03:27Ah!
03:29Oh!
03:33Oh.
03:43Oh.
03:45Oh-ho-ho!
04:11Alright, bro.
04:15Okay.
04:24Well, that's true.
04:26But Yang Bo was super suspicious.
04:28Was that, like, a trick? Like, were we just supposed to think he's suspicious?
04:32But, like, really he's just-
04:34I don't know, like, obviously he's tense because of what he's, like, being accused of.
04:39But I just thought he seemed obviously, like, in on something.
04:46Mm.
04:51Mm.
04:57Oh.
04:59It really wasn't.
05:01Oh!
05:05Oh!
05:15Oh.
05:26Mm.
05:34Yeah, and why was Mr. Wu logged in?
05:38So, were they working together?
05:46Mm.
05:54Mm!
05:59Mm!
06:07Okay, now you're just saying stupid stuff.
06:10Uh-huh.
06:15Mm.
06:26He's trying to see how you react.
06:35Mm.
06:38Oh.
06:46So, he already has suspicions too?
06:51Maybe not.
07:12Is there another illegitimate son?
07:16What?
07:36I don't know what to think.
07:38I just don't know.
07:45Mm.
07:53Mm-hmm.
07:55Mm-hmm.
07:57He said, you didn't even give me time to remove my makeup.
08:02Oh, yeah.
08:05Yeah, you can't do that.
08:10Mm-hmm-hmm-hmm!
08:15Mm-hmm.
08:29Are we still grabbing the arm?
08:32Mm-hmm.
08:38Mm-hmm.
08:46Mm.
08:53Because what is his real purpose for learning criminal psychology, interning, joining the SID?
09:01And also, it feels like it happened just like this, that he actually joined.
09:06Like, I didn't fully register that, like, oh, he had his uniform last episode.
09:10But that's what's going on, like, he has the uniform and the badge.
09:14And that's why there's that scene where Luo Weijiao, like, grabs his badge and looks at it.
09:18And you're like, what?
09:20And I just, like, it didn't even register with me.
09:22Like, oh, right, because he's part of the SID now.
09:24Like, that just happened like this.
09:26But I do have to wonder.
09:28I feel like he wanted to join to investigate specific things relating to his father's company.
09:35But there is, and the thing with Janitor, there's just, like, a lot going on under the surface that I think we don't know yet.
09:42And I'm like, what, what is his goal?
09:53Yeah.
10:09Now what?
10:13Oh, yep.
10:18Mm-hmm.
10:34Yeah.
10:40What?
10:43But the, but the, wait, the accident, the guy who caused the accident of this man, the philanthropist, is also dead.
10:54So, like, do they not know that? What are they talking about?
10:59Oh, my God.
11:05Y'all, yeah, for real.
11:07Chill out.
11:13Oh, my God.
11:18Now, maybe, I cannot remember her name, but maybe that woman, like, maybe she just,
11:24last episode, I was like, she seems suspicious.
11:27Maybe she just feels especially affected by who he was questioning in this situation.
11:33Because, like, her father died and that woman's father died.
11:36And she might have been questioned after her father died.
11:40I don't know.
11:41But, like, maybe that's just, like, affecting her.
11:44But I had this feeling that she knows something.
11:47Again, I'm just saying, like, this episode, I'm like, I don't know what to think.
11:50I had all these ideas.
11:52I got nothing.
12:06Mm.
12:11Yeah.
12:22I think it's about her dad dying.
12:25But I don't know if there is something else going on.
12:32I don't know.
12:34I don't know.
12:36I don't know.
12:37Uh-huh.
13:05Uh-huh.
13:06But who's she working for, though?
13:14Oh my god, no, don't do this.
13:19Man.
13:20That sucks.
13:22I just keep thinking that everybody is suspicious.
13:25And even if somebody is suspicious, or even if they're involved in something,
13:28it doesn't mean, like, you don't have empathy for them.
13:31Or they're not an empathetic character.
13:33But, like, I was thinking, like, does she know something, too?
13:37Because this show is just making me suspicious of everyone.
13:40But at this point, I feel like she has nothing to do with anything.
13:44And who knows?
13:45Maybe her father had nothing to do with anything,
13:47at least willingly, of his own volition.
13:49I don't know.
13:52What?
13:55Oh, okay.
13:58Okay.
14:03Okay.
14:19What?
14:21Why?
14:29Yeah, why not pursue that?
14:33Uh-huh.
14:40Yeah.
14:42Yeah.
14:46Yeah.
14:49Mm-hmm.
14:53Yeah.
14:56Yeah.
14:58Yeah.
15:00Yeah.
15:04Yeah.
15:10Ooh!
15:15What?
15:17What update?
15:19What?
15:20What was the update?
15:22Okay.
15:32Oh, no!
15:36Girl, did you order delivery?
15:39Please don't somebody kill her.
15:43What the heck?
15:49What?
15:50What is it?
15:52What is it?
15:58Huh?
16:04Hm?
16:09What?
16:11Oh-ho-ho!
16:14Girl, turn a light on!
16:21Okay.
16:24What's it say?
16:26What does it say?
16:30Do we get to know what that says?
16:33Okay.
16:35So, I take it that she is gonna contact SID
16:39because of getting this information?
16:41Because she looked at the card earlier?
16:43Yeah.
16:48Mm-hmm.
16:51Mm-hmm.
16:58I love that he's just-
17:00Like, I never expected him to just go through the schooling so quickly
17:05and actually become part of the SID.
17:07Like, I'm like, he's just here now.
17:09Ha-ha!
17:18Mm-hmm.
17:20Ha-ha-ha!
17:38Oh...
17:44Well, that's what he says.
17:47But maybe he went to the public vehicles area.
17:51Interesting.
17:53And it's like, why would he have done that?
17:59Mm.
18:18Yeah, that guy's really suspicious.
18:27Mm-mm.
18:28Mm-mm.
18:33Uhhh...
18:39No matter how long the night is...
18:42Ha-ha-ha-ha!
18:44Is that-
18:45Wait, like, who is-
18:47Is Regicide killing your father?
18:49Cause then it's like, who is the father?
18:53Is that it?
18:55Is that it?
18:57Is that it?
18:59Is that it?
19:01Is that it?
19:04Is that it?
19:06Is that it?
19:08Is that it?
19:10Is that it?
19:11Cause then it's like, who is the father killer?
19:14Maybe that's what they're trying to say.
19:15And yeah, it's become extremely clear to Luo Wei Zhao
19:19that Pei Su is following Janitor too.
19:42Oh!
19:52What?!
20:01Oh, the accident...
20:04Whoa!
20:05So somebody told her father that
20:08Zhou Junhao of the Zhou group was behind the accident that the mother was in.
20:13So then he would have gone and purposely killed him
20:16because he thought that he killed his wife?
20:35Oh!
20:39So that's the one who hired him.
20:46What the heck?
20:54I did not expect all this from this case.
20:57My goodness.
21:09Hahaha!
21:22Mm!
21:24Mm-hmm.
21:33So he did not get on a regular taxi.
21:37Ooh!
21:40Sorry, I thought, um...
21:42I just immediately saw the hand on his shoulder
21:45and I was like, oh, Pei Su is saying something to him again.
21:48But he's just being comforted.
21:56What a crazy jacket, especially to wear right now.
22:00Haha!
22:01Oh!
22:05Oh my gosh!
22:07Haha!
22:19Mm-hmm!
22:24Oh, what if he's actually not the older...
22:28What if...
22:29Wait, cuz what if the secret is that someone isn't their brother, not that there's another brother?
22:37Hmm.
22:38Well, wait, how would that work?
22:40I guess just if he's- if he has a different father.
22:43He would still be a half-brother.
22:45But basically just if- if he has a different father, and so he's trying not to let that out,
22:51so he could kill the father, get the inheritance, or get his part of the inheritance,
22:56and not let out that that's not actually his father?
23:03I should have known that he was like the suspicious one.
23:13I-
23:14Ugh.
23:26Okay, so it is... a taxi.
23:43What?
23:55Why?
23:56Ah, I see.
24:00Mm-hmm.
24:02I just have to, for a moment, just appreciate the fact that like
24:06something- like it's so crazy to me that it's like,
24:09oh, there's surveillance footage of someone looking at a sign,
24:12and we can see what the sign says,
24:14and we could confirm that they would or wouldn't take a certain action
24:18because of like what this sign says that we saw them looking at.
24:21Like that's just crazy to me that like they have access to that information.
24:26Oh, the paternity test is out.
24:30Okay.
24:33Okay.
24:35Huh?
24:50Yeah, she's gonna tell them.
24:52This is crazy.
24:55Hello?
24:57Okay.
25:00Are you...
25:03What?
25:09Huh?
25:14Wait!
25:16The guy- a guy took her phone and-
25:19Huh?
25:20Wait, who is this?
25:24What the heck?
25:32Damn, those balconies are cool.
25:37God.
25:41What?
25:43What?
25:44Oh, yeah.
25:48What is happening?
25:50Hello? No glasses?
25:59Good question.
26:08What is he researching?
26:15Oh.
26:30Okay, so he's like in uniform doing work for SID,
26:34but he's still studying under Teacher Pan.
26:37So he's not like done yet exactly,
26:39but he's further along in his studies.
26:41Okay, now I have some questions.
26:44So if Teacher Pan is that old guy who's like the leader of that underground group,
26:48if that's who I think it is,
26:50then I wonder if anyone is suspicious of him.
26:54What I'm wondering is if Chief Du is suspicious of Teacher Pan.
26:58And so he's like when you do this research project for him,
27:01I'm gonna purposely gray out these cases
27:03that I actually think that I don't want him to have access to.
27:07So I'm gonna do that.
27:08Or another possibility is that Chief Du himself
27:12is suspicious and trying to cover up something.
27:42So in the process of the research,
27:44someone suggested that genetic medicine and criminal psychology must be linked.
27:49They think that the genetic defect
27:50has made this person unable to control his desires.
27:53He will also become a serial killer.
27:56This argument received a lot of support.
27:58Some people even started to question
28:00that the murderer of some of the cases
28:02was not an ordinary person who was convicted at the time,
28:05but a zero-degree accomplice with an anti-social personality.
28:08Finally, under the clues provided by the family of the perpetrator,
28:11he was able to get away with the crime.
28:13This is the biggest public opinion crisis
28:15that SID has ever faced.
28:17In the end, the zero-degree plan was put on hold.
28:20Genetic testing-
28:21I'm not sure why it was a PR disaster.
28:23Is it because they found suspects
28:25that SID hadn't caught before?
28:27The case was put on hold at that time.
28:30And then what?
28:32And then the SID team re-investigated.
28:35I don't know why him without his glasses on.
28:38Like he looks so vulnerable.
28:41I'm just like, whoa.
29:12Oh!
29:18Could that be...
29:20Teacher Pan?
29:34What the heck?
29:41Mom, what's wrong?
29:43Is there something wrong with her?
29:45No.
29:47She's a little bit tired.
29:49What about her dad?
29:51He probably got too tired.
29:53I don't know if he's ever got too tired.
29:55At the very least, he's been here for a while.
29:57I guess he needs rest.
29:59Yeah, right.
30:01He needs to focus on his work.
30:03He does have to think about things that might happen.
30:05Keep an eye on him.
30:07But he doesn't have much time.
30:10Come on.
30:14Oh, my God!
30:24Why'd they have to do that?
30:26Oh, my God. Jesus, okay.
30:29Oh, that is so frustrating when that happens. Oh, my God.
30:33Oh, my God.
30:35That jacket is so funny like in this situation to be wearing that. Oh, my God. Okay.
31:03I wonder what we're going to chat about. Oh, my God. She-
31:08Oh, is she gonna
31:10say- well, she wanted to talk to SID.
31:13Oh, my God.
31:28Oh, right because- okay, the information she got says that this is who hired her father.
31:35No, no, no. I'm sorry. Wait. Oh, my God.
31:38We- so much is happening. So much is being revealed and
31:42simultaneously not revealed in this episode that I'm losing track of information. This guy,
31:47apparently- now, we don't know if those documents are true though.
31:50Okay, they could be fake, but according to those documents, this guy hired her father
31:56to kill- he wanted someone to kill his father and the reason that her father
32:01agreed is because he wants to kill him because he was responsible for the death of the mother. I think I have that right?
32:32Is she going to do something to him? Because-
32:38Um
32:42Yeah.
32:48Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
32:57No!
33:02Oh, my God! No!
33:08Oh, no!
33:11Oh, holy crap!
33:13Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
33:30Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Okay. Okay.
33:38Okay.
33:44Oh, man.
33:59Girl!
34:07Oh, someone's gonna hit her.
34:13Oh, he's just trying to-
34:17Oh, he's just trying to-
34:18Because, see, he wants to question her because obviously if she tried to stab the other guy, she knows something.
34:24And I don't know if he knows that she tried to stab the other guy first, but regardless,
34:29he's gonna want to find out what she knows.
34:31So, of course, he's gonna try to like calm her down and bring her into custody.
34:44Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
34:56Is this boy gonna die?
35:01Oh, man.
35:07No, no, just let her speak!
35:13Oh, man.
35:19Can we get out of the road?
35:36Wait a minute. No!
35:43Oh, my God.
35:47Who are you?
35:51You just burned the evidence! Who are you?
35:58Okay, can we get out of the road?
36:01Can we get out of the road?
36:05God, I knew that was gonna happen. I knew that was gonna happen.
36:09Oh, oh, okay, okay. All right. Whoa, hey. Hey, what the hell?
36:17Oh, they were trying to kill her and him! They're part of this, too!
36:24This is-
36:30Oh, my God.
36:40He's dead, and she's dead.
36:53Also, the fact that somebody went to the trouble to burn that paper makes me think that it's definitely true.
37:00Because I was thinking, well, maybe it's fake.
37:02But if someone is going through the trouble to go and burn it, then no, I think it's true.
37:10Oh, man.
37:14We got the- kind of a dolly zoom.
37:21Oh.
37:23Oh, and blood, blood, blood. Oh, my God.
37:28God, I forgot about his thing with blood.
37:31Oh.
37:37He's remembering something.
37:46What?
37:53Wait, what?
38:00Oh, don't say that.
38:09Ah.
38:17Ah, you didn't do that. Oh, my God.
38:31Isn't, um- oh.
38:40Okay, the candy, like, helps him calm down.
38:48Is- is, um, Janitor is reading a Shakespeare play, right?
38:52I feel really bad right now, because I'm totally forgetting- getting my Shakespeare all mixed up.
38:57But is this the one where the woman keeps washing her hands, but she's like, there's still blood on my hands,
39:03and it's like she can't wash it off, or she thinks, like, it doesn't come off?
39:07Because that would make sense.
39:09But I'm so sorry right now, I'm just completely forgetting which one that is.
39:13Is that Macbeth? Are they reading Macbeth?
39:28And his hands are- ooh, he put the glasses back on.
39:35Like his mask!
39:37He was, like, vulnerable out in the open, without the glasses.
39:42And he put the glasses back on.
39:44But you can see that your hands are still red, right?
39:50No. Okay, I thought he was reacting to that.
39:52He's just- he's putting the glasses back on.
39:55Oh, man.
40:11Oh, stop!
40:13Oh!
40:15Oh, sorry.
40:17I shouldn't have said that.
40:19I shouldn't have said that.
40:21I shouldn't have said that.
40:24I-
40:26I needed that.
40:28I just looked up and saw that that sign says,
40:30No Psalm King.
40:32Okay.
40:34Not important.
40:36Okay.
40:52Mm!
41:00Damn!
41:06Okay, so he's not, like, dead dead.
41:08He's in the operating room.
41:17Dog, don't say that!
41:36Mm.
41:46Ooh!
41:52Ooh!
42:06Ooh!
42:14Ooh!
42:22No.
42:24I was expecting the ending song to start,
42:26but they didn't include that in their videos.
42:28Okay.
42:30I'm gonna look something up real quick.
42:32Yes.
42:34something up real quick. Yes.
42:37Lady Macbeth in Macbeth kept washing her hands and she's like, Oh my God,
42:41there's still blood on my hands. Out. Damn. Spot. Okay.
42:45I was right that it was Macbeth and Macbeth is the book that, um,
42:49janitor is reading on that radio show.
42:52And if you read the book that this show is based on,
42:55which is called Modu or silent reading,
42:58it's got story arcs organized into books.
43:01So this is part of the Macbeth story arc.
43:04So, okay. I wasn't totally off on my, on my Shakespeare knowledge. I just like,
43:09I could not remember because I have read woefully little Shakespeare,
43:13even though I was an English major in college that just was not like in
43:18my area of focus. Yeah. So that was a lot.
43:22We're really in it now.
43:25And there is a whole conspiracy that has to do with
43:29Pesu's father and all these people.
43:32I'm looking at everything and everyone suspiciously because it's always going to
43:37be who you don't expect. So I'm trying to figure stuff out. And now it's like,
43:41it's just muddled in my head because every little detail I'm like, what is that?
43:45What are you doing? Who are you calling?
43:50This was a crazy episode. I, this show is so good.
43:53Like the way that I'm so grateful that this was
43:57uncancelled, brought back from the dead.
44:00I can't believe they actually did it.
44:02And I'm so glad they actually did it because it would have been so sad to have
44:06created this and for like people not to be able to see it.
44:11Like, I'm just so, so grateful. Like, this is just,
44:16this kind of thing doesn't happen. Anyway, until next episode,
44:21this is Aesup signing out.
