Episode 5 recap: The First Duty of the Lightning Team
In Episode 5, Peng Ying Xiang admits that they are holding a male hostage. Whether it's one person or ten, it makes no difference to outsiders, as their marksmanship is precise, hitting the target every time. A wanted criminal curiously asks what benefit releasing the female hostage would bring them. Peng Ying Xiang responds that it is a gesture of goodwill in negotiations.
Unexpectedly, Williamson reveals Peng Ying Xiang's true identity as the captain of the Lightning Strike Team, shocking the criminals and derailing the planned release. Faced with the exposure of his identity, Peng Ying Xiang openly acknowledges it, stating that his sole purpose for being there is to rescue the woman, who holds significant meaning for him.
He fearlessly declares that if the criminals choose to shoot, he has no fear, as he believes in sharing life and death together. Seizing a moment of distraction, Peng Ying Xiang swiftly disarms one of the criminals, while another criminal is taken down by a precise shot from a sniper.
Meanwhile, Dr. Qi reflects on her first meeting with Peng Ying Xiang. At that time, he had come at the behest of the political department, introducing himself with the name "Qi Heng Yi," seemingly indifferent and bluntly stating he couldn't remember ugly people's names. Later, Peng Ying Xiang visits her with a can of food, using it as a springboard to share heartwarming childhood memories: his family was poor, and only during the New Year would his mother open cans supposedly sent by his father from the army. The sweetness and anticipation of those moments still warm his heart, making the can a cherished item that symbolizes his longing for home.
During a social event between the Lightning Strike Team and the 026 Special Assault Team, Bartel's singing fills the air as He Yu Yang dances with him, creating a harmonious scene. However, the subsequent negotiations become tense when the team leader invites Bartel to join, only to be met with a refusal from the chief of staff. Ultimately, they reach a consensus through an exchange of personnel and technical equipment.
The team leader also considers the happiness of his subordinates, warning Bartel to treat He Yu Yang well, or face consequences. One day, during a patrol, Zhan Guo and his team encounter Zhao Jiaqi seeking help. Despite some reluctance, they ultimately rescue a kitten stuck in a tree, leading to a tense moment when Zhan Guo accidentally falls.
As the first squad enters a rigorous training period, Peng Ying Xiang decides to supervise personally, considering assigning the female members to the second squad. Cheng Han Yue, upon learning this, volunteers to participate in the training, inspiring others to join her.
During one duty, Cheng Han Yue and her team encounter foreign student Cicily taking photos, sparking a discussion about law enforcement authority. Facing the scrutiny, Wu Yi Man professionally explains the police's right to conduct checks, confirming Cicily's identity before allowing her to go. Later, Cheng Han Yue discusses the incident with Peng Ying Xiang, who believes that public oversight within legal bounds is normal and doesn't warrant excessive reactions.
