You're up early.
Casting is done.
Xiao Mei got the part.
Listen...
How are you and Tian Yuan?
Fine.
She's quite talented...
and hard working too.
She's less sophisticated than Xiao Mei.
I think she'll make a better Lola.
That's just my personal opinion.
There's nothing to it.
I better go if there's nothing else.
Get off the bike at the front door.
Don't break the rule.
That's it for today.
Tonight is the premier of "Lola".
Make up at 5.
Curtain goes up at 7.
I hope that every member of...
the cast and crew...
will do your best.
To make the premiere a success.
Watch out.
I don't eat before the show.
But you're not on tonight.
You must eat.
Follow spot.
Alright.
Back light!
Look at that.
Turn it off.
Hurry up and fix it.
The light that almost hit me this morning,
has it been tampered with?
What?
Nothing.
Why are you so nervous?
What do you mean?
I'm just thinking...
if I were killed by the light
Who'd replace me?
It was just a thought.
I'm fine now.
No one can take my place.
Understand?
Let's go.
Sorry.
It's alright.
I'll mop it up.
Come in.
Don't just stand there.
You've seen me before
Well?
I was a hit, right?
You should be the first to congratulate me.
That's why I sent for you.
Anything you want to say to me?
Wait.
Listen.
If you walk out today,
you'll be sorry.
Zhen Yu.
What is it?
Did something fall?
It's too sour.
Why are you up?
The water is cold.
Is it alright?
Yes.
I've been looking for you after the show,
I'm worried about you.
Are you upset?
No.
Really?
Yes.
Xiao Mei's death will affect the troupe.
People will be asking for refunds.
That's why the show must go on.
Hello?
What?
I'm in a meeting.
If he doesn't want to eat, forget it.
I'll be home soon.
Is Mr. Wu not feeling well?
Let's call it a day.
What is it?
Nothing.
I can't sleep.
What about you?
Having nightmares again?
During the performance on Friday night,
if anyone noticed anything unusual backstage,
report to management right away.
We're discussing Xiao Mei's replacement.
Speak up if you want the part.
Xiao Xiao.
You want to say something?
I want to know if this is fair play
Of course.
Anyone who can dance well can be Lola.
When will casting start?
Tomorrow morning.
You never told me.
What's with this scar?
It was a long time ago.
What happened?
Can we not talk about this?
Do you feel bad?
About what?
Xiao Mei.
What do you mean?
Just curious.
Someone you know died,
you'd feel bad.
That's all.
What are you trying to say?
Nothing.
Tell me.
Who'll replace Xiao Mei?
You.
Of course.
Stop.
Tian Yuan, your turn.
We think she was poisoned.
What do you want us to do?
Nothing.
We're conducting an investigation.
We'll start with members of the troupe.
We're on a tight schedule.
We can't afford any delays.
Try to wrap this up quickly.
Manager.
We'd rather not be here at all.
I know. We'll do our best.
Thanks.
Hello.
I'm still changing.
Don't rush me.
Just wait.
About Xiao Mei,
the cops want to talk to you.
You won't be held responsible.
Just tell them what you know.
You broke up over a year ago?
Hurry, Tian Yuan.
What does the manager want with you?
Nothing.
Something to do with me?
How did I do today?
Will I get the part?
The cops are talking to everyone.
The manager wants to warn me.
Why you?
It's not just me.
But everyone else.
Including me?
Maybe.
What can I say?
I've only been here less than a year.
Let's go to my place.
I'm going back to the dorm.
Casting will start soon,
I want to practice some more.
It was too fast.
I didn't see his face.
Later,
I hid in the trunk.
Did you hear me when I came in?
No.
That's not possible.
I really didn't hear.
Fine.
Hide inside the closet.
I already told you,
I didn't hear anything.
Come on.
Just do it.
I really didn't hear anything.
I was in there for a long time,
until there was no air.
The lights were out by then.
I really didn't know you were there.
Alright.
I believe you.
Don't cry.
You still won't believe me.
I just don't want you to get hurt.
You know.
I only believe you.
How come you always see things...
you're not supposed to?
It's over.
Forget it.
Come on.
Close your eyes.
Get some sleep.
I wish I could do that.
Auntie
What are you doing here?
Waiting for you.
About the other night...
What about it?
I saw...
The night Xiao Mei died,
what were you doing?
Working.
2 hours before the show,
say from 5 to 10,
you were working?
More or less.
You're in charge of lighting?
Yes.
That time span...
is the busiest time for me.
I need to set the lights before the show,
and put them away afterwards.
Were you and Xiao Mei an item?
Yes?
Whatever was between us,
ended 2 years ago.
Why?
That's personal.
I don't have to answer that.
That's true.
If you find it awkward...
There's nothing awkward.
We were just incompatible.
That's it?
Yes.
Does she hate you?
I don't know what she was thinking.
Do you hate her?
Why should I?
You love someone then you split up,
there must be a reason.
I'm just curious.
Did she dump you?
Or did you dump her?
Neither.
We didn't get along so we split up.
How was your relationship afterwards?
It was so-so.
Did you have fights?
Really big ones?
Not that I remember.
We broke up, what's there to fight about?
Were you in her dressing room that night?
No.
Why should I be there?
That's all for now.
We may need to talk to you again.
Alright. Bye.
By the way...
the girl dancing on stage...
is she your new girlfriend?
Yes.
Pretty girl.
Bye.
The other day,
I saw someone in Xiao Mei's dressing room.
Who was it?
Tell us.
You.
And you.
You're lying.
It was you.
Stop this nonsense.
Don't scare me.
That's not funny.
How's your ankle?
Zhen Yu.
Before me,
was there someone else?
Yes.
There was.
Do you treat her the same way?
Look at me.
Do you love me?
Feel that?
Zhen Yu.
You have a letter.
I know you did it.
I saw you.
¥ 50,000 and my lips are sealed.
Wait for my phone call.
Witness
I thought you weren't coming back.
I...
Are you alright?
You're shaking.
No.
Maybe I got wet from the rain.
Wait here.
I'll fix you some soup.
I'll get it.
Hello.
Yes.
Alright.
Do you know him?
That's Shen Hao.
He was fired from the troupe.
He just got out of jail.
That's strange.
What is Xiao Xiao doing with him?
You look awful.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
I'm worried.
I want to check the lights at the theatre.
They're working overtime for tomorrow's rehearsal.
Should I take you home first?
Alright?
I'll practice some more.
Then wait for me.
I'll come back for you.
Forget it.
I'm going back to the dorm.
Alright.
I'm going.
Bye.
Really.
That's all.
Officer,
I didn't mean to do anything illegal.
My son is in the hospital.
He's dying.
Xiao Li, take this down.
Sir.
Can I go when I'm done?
I need to bring food to the hospital.
She wrote the letter.
The doorman, Mr. Chen...
gave her the idea.
Why?
She really saw you...
the other night...
in Xiao Mei's dressing room.
Yes, I was there...
after the show.
She asked for me
What did you talk about?
Nothing.
She wanted me to congratulate her.
That's absurd.
Why did you lie to us?
I didn't want to tell you...
Because we'll suspect you?
You may go.
Bye.
Don't come over.
What is it?
You killed Xiao Mei.
I didn't.
I really didn't.
You must believe me.
One day,
my father took me to the carnival...
where my favorite merry-go-round was.
He put me on a wooden horse,
It went around once,
I saw my father's smiling face.
The second time it went around,
he was gone.
He abandoned me...
like a puppy.
He left me in the carnival.
That year...
I was only 4.
Why did you lie to me?
Why?
About you and Xiao Mei,
I knew about it already.
You never told me.
You never talked about it...
and I never asked.
But why did you lie?
Now I can't trust you anymore.
Sorry.
I was with Xiao Mei...
for a very short time.
Listen.
I needed to be with someone back then.
Did you know?
We split up soon afterwards.
I didn't tell you...
because it was over.
It doesn't mean anything.
I don't want to know.
Tian Yuan.
Hold on.
You're lying.
Believe me.
Hold on to me.
If I can't save you,
I'll jump.
You know.
I will.
Zhen Yu.
Who are you?
Zhen Yu?
Do you know him?
Xiao Xiao won't get out anytime soon.
She'll be sentenced to jail.
She hired a killer.
Yes.
About Xiao Mei's death,
Xiao Xiao must have hired Shen Hao.
Tian Yuan was so brave.
I'd be scared to death.
Come in.
How do I look?
I'm a bit nervous.
What?
I'm a bit nervous.
Better now?
Yes.
Tian Yuan, you're up.
Coming.
Do you like it?
Where were you?
They made me drink too much.
Everyone was toasting me.
They were still looking for you.
I'm a bit tired.
This is for me?
Thanks.
I was thinking...
if Xiao Mei were alive,
I won't get the part.
You deserved it.
You're right.
You create your own opportunity.
You grab it.
It's yours.
What's the matter?
Nothing.
I was thinking...
I hope that when I die,
There'll be a miracle like this.
Have you heard?
About what?
The murderer.
You didn't know?
Fingerprints were found on Xiao Mei's mug.
They made us fill out those forms,
so that they can get our fingerprints.
Manager.
I must be getting old.
No.
Same as always.
Liar.
When I was young,
It takes a few minutes to make up.
Back then,
the skin was perfect.
Let me ask you something.
You must tell me the truth.
All these years,
did you miss me?
Yes.
I didn't want to,
because it was over.
It's all over.
Tian Yuan.
All these years,
I watched you...
fall in love with these pretty young things.
Do you know how I feel?
I know you hate me.
But I had no choice.
Do you still remember this?
"Now is not forever,
but forever can be right now."
Should I go on?
Is that Mr. Wu?
He fell from the stage.
I heard you just got married then.
No wonder you were lonely.
It's tough being a dancer.
Now I know...
even if I get the leading role,
how much longer can I dance?
I must find myself another option.
Like you...
become a manager or something.
Zhen Yu.
Now you know...
who your Xiao Mei really is.
How else did she get the part?
And your Tian Yuan.
What about her?
You're with her everyday,
haven't you noticed anything?
What do you know?
Tell me.
The fingerprints on Xiao Mei's mug.
You know whose prints they are?
Ask the police.
No.
I don't believe you.
Come back.
It's too late.
Tian Yuan won't lie to me.
The cops will arrest her.
Move.
I won't let you go.
Move away.
You'll do something foolish.
Move away.
I didn't mean it.
Whatever I owe you,
I'll make it up to you.
I know you've died for me once.
Sorry.
You will not get hurt anymore.
They all lied to you.
Only I understand you.
I won't lie to you.
Zhen Yu.
I saw the picture of you and the manager.
Everyone has secrets...
they can't reveal.
Sometimes...
keeping the secret...
is to avoid hurting people.
That day,
you were in Xiao Mei's dressing room.
Yes.
Then...
You killed her.
No.
I didn't.
Zhen Yu.
Trust me.
I told you.
I believed in you.
But now, you're lying to me.
I didn't.
The truth no longer matters.
Any kind of truth...
is just as painful to me.
I love you.
Everyone has secrets...
they can't reveal.
Sometimes...
keeping the secret...
is to avoid hurting people.
It's the same poison that killed Xiao Mei.
She left this note...
admitting she killed Xiao Mei.
