The Long Season Episode 12 (Ending) Recap
> The Long Season Recap
Twenty years ago, after Wang Yang's funeral had been taken care of, Wang Xiang carried a photo of his son. Nothing was more heartbreaking than losing a child in middle age. Wang Xiang's wife, Meisu, was still busy preparing food for the colleagues who came to visit. When the coworkers heard the bad news, they came to pay their respects, and Meisu had prepared three large tables of food, showing no signs of sadness. The more she acted this way, the more uneasy Wang Xiang felt. It was already dinner time, and everyone picked up their chopsticks but no one had the heart to eat.
At that moment, Ma Desheng arrived. Worried about his wife being affected, Wang Xiang pulled him outside. Ma Desheng reported the results of the investigation to Wang Xiang, concluding that Wang Yang had committed suicide! Wang Yang was a good swimmer, how could he have committed suicide? Wang Xiang felt that Ma Desheng had not fulfilled his duties as a police officer. The day he found the sleeping pills in the video room, Wang Xiang had immediately called Ma Desheng, but he didn't receive a reply all day. So Ma Desheng owed him an explanation, even a son.
Ma Desheng was also furious. Just yesterday, he had arrested a beastly man named Shen Dongliang, who had even preyed on a poor child and posted naked photos on the school bulletin board. How could that child live after that? What's more infuriating was that Wang Xiang's child had died suddenly that night!
All of this made Ma Desheng extremely guilty. He went back to the police station in a rage and ordered his subordinates to quickly bring back the case file. He wanted to look at it again and personally interrogate Fu Weijun. But now the leadership had given the case to someone else. Ma Desheng always felt that something had not been investigated clearly, so he went to investigate on his own. His insistence angered the bureau chief, who immediately suspended him and ordered him to write a self-criticism.
Ma Desheng's head was resting on the desk, and he saw his own haggard appearance reflected in the shiny glass. He was shocked by his own appearance and felt like a miserable dog. He felt like a failure. Two lives lost and he felt guilty. He resigned on the spot and took off his police uniform and shoes, and walked out of the public security bureau in a daze.
Twenty years later, the case resurfaced. How could Ma Desheng let it go? He resigned and took off his police uniform, but he was always troubled by the unfinished work. Gong Biao died in a car accident, and Huang Liru went to the funeral home to clean him up. She knew that the man who loved her the most in his life had left. A heart-wrenching cry was heard in the funeral home, and Wang Xiang felt uncomfortable listening to it.
Ma Desheng's life was saved after rescue efforts, but his mind was not clear. He was constantly immersed in the case of the broken bodies from years ago. Wang Xiang was busy taking care of him at the hospital. One day, Ma Desheng suddenly seemed to have an epiphany and shouted that he wanted to report the situation to the police. Wang Xiang couldn't persuade him, so he had to take him to the police station. Although Ma Desheng couldn't remember his current situation, he analyzed the case thoroughly and concluded that Shen Mo didn't die, but Yin Hong did. This was because Shen Dongliang had sexually assaulted her since she was young, treating her like a toy. Wang Xiang had deep hatred towards his adoptive parents because of this.
Ma Desheng continued with his speculation, and Shen Dongliang knew that Shen Mo was not dead. Upon learning of Fu Weijun's death, she immediately went to the prison to retrieve his ashes, in order to find Shen Mo's contact information. Shen Mo appeared again at Shen Dongliang's home to retrieve the ashes, and when she left, Shen Dongliang intentionally tried to run her over with a fake license plate, but failed. Shen Mo, who was taken to the hospital for treatment, removed the needle and escaped midway. Ma Desheng's analysis was very reasonable, and someone who was once his disciple and is now a bureau chief finally acknowledged Ma Desheng's investigative ability while sitting on the side.
At that time, Shen Dongliang never dreamed that the fake license plate he made would be exactly the same as the taxi Gong Biao had just bought. Coincidentally, Wang Xiang found out and that led to what happened later. At this moment, disguised Shen Mo went to the hospital again. She heard that her foster mother Zhao Jing was not dead and decided to root out the problem. Her foster mother had pretended to be deaf and mute her whole life, even though she knew that Shen Mo had been violated and beaten multiple times. Shen Mo had always hoped that her foster mother could stop Shen Dongliang's violent behavior, but she had lost hope and started to doubt her life. Shen Mo changed the IV bag that she had prepared for Zhao Jing and waited until her foster mother finally died before leaving the hospital in a taxi. The taxi that Shen Mo got into at the time was actually Wang Xiang's. He drove her to the river where her son had died 20 years ago and asked her why she killed Wang Yang. After struggling for a while, Wang Xiang said that on that night, Wang Yang did not agree to leave with her. Desperate Shen Mo wanted to jump into the river and commit suicide, but Wang Yang saved her and drowned himself. Before Shen Mo could speak, Wang Xiang decided to drive the car towards the dam and die together with Shen Mo, even if it meant avenging his son. However, when he heard that Wang Yang died because he saved Shen Mo, he urgently slammed on the brakes and tried to stop the suicide. The car flipped and caught fire, but Wang Xiang risked his life and desperately pulled Shen Mo, who wanted to die, out of the car.
After twenty years of searching for the truth, Wang Xiang finally uncovered it. His son, Wang Yang, did not commit murder, and in the end, he sacrificed his life to save others! The sunlight shone on Wang Xiang's stumbling footsteps as he walked onto the bridge, tears streaming down his face. He wanted his son to rest in peace, but perhaps the one who couldn't let his son rest in peace was himself. His son had died trying to save his loved one and should have gone in peace. However, Wang Xiang couldn't get over this hurdle with his wife.
Twenty years ago, after colleagues visited Wang Xiang's home for a condolence visit, he sent them off after dinner. When he returned to his room, he found his wife had hanged herself. After dealing with his wife's passing, Wang Xiang lay neatly on the train tracks, wanting to reunite with his wife and child in heaven. However, the train didn't pass on the tracks where he lay. A clear cry suddenly rang out, and Wang Xiang, curious, got up and followed the sound. He found an abandoned baby. From then on, Wang Xiang worked hard to raise the abandoned child and that child became his son, Wang Bei.
In the end, Qiaoyun and Wang Xiang formed a family and together they sent Wang Bei back to school. Along the way, Wang Xiang went to a cornfield to relieve himself and ended up getting lost. Suddenly, he saw himself from twenty years ago, driving a train and full of vitality. That version of himself was so beautiful, and Wang Xiang chased after him while reminding him, "Look ahead, don't look back, look ahead, don't look back!"
