Transcript from Viki subs, with a few tiny edits.
Haixing sees Zhao Yunlan being tortured on Ye Zun’s Sky channel. Zhao Xinci looks repressedly distressed, but he turns to the Yashou tribe leaders and gives them assignments for the invasion. They run off to prepare, leaving Zhao Xinci and Zhang Shi to talk.
Zhang Shi: You've been getting more and more stubborn these past years, and I've become bossier. It's been so long since we worked together like this.
这几年你越来越固执了, 我也越来越啰嗦, 好像很久咱们没有这么齐心协力过了
Zhao Xinci: I'm just suddenly enlightened. Maybe you're right. The future is in the hands of the younger generation. For the old and conservative ones like us, it's time to step back.
我只是突然想明白了 或许你说得对 未来是孩子们的 而对于我们这些守旧的老人 应该退位了
Zhang Shi: I told you. Yunlan has been very different ever since he was a child.
我就说嘛 云澜那孩子从小就跟别人不一样
Flashback scene:
Zhao Xinci is in a hospital bed. Zhao Yunlan is in a visitor’s chair, looking through his father’s notebook.

bb!ZYL: Dad, are all the Dixingren you caught bad guys?
爸爸, 你抓的那些地星人 都是坏人吗
ZXC: There's no absolute right or wrong in this world. But when a minority is harming the majority for their own benefit, they must be punished for what they've done.
这个世界上没有绝对的对与错 可是当少部分人为了自已的利益 而去损害大部分人的利益的时候 那么这些行为就必须受到惩罚

Questions
- When and why did Zhao Xinci first tell bb!Yunlan about Dixingren—or did Shen Xi do it? Do you think Yunlan is supposed to keep it secret from his peers, or was the existence of Dixingren more widely know back then?
- Why is Zhao Xinci in hospital? Heart trouble? A side-effect of having acquired Zhang Shi as a lodger? Or do you think it is work-related?
- What do you think of Zhao Xinci’s philosophy? Presumably this is the stance of Haixing officials, too. Is Zhao Xinci just trying to indoctrinate his son in the attitudes of his time, or are these his deeply held (pre-Shen Xi tragedy) beliefs?
- How do you think bb!Yunlan’s attitude changed after Shen Xi’s death? What drove him to become chief of the SID—this philosophy, or anger at Dixingren because of his mother?
