Peninsula Apartments, Eastern District
Tai, a veteran sergeant, fell from a high floor onto the atrium and severely injured
Ghost, come this way
Tai!
Tai! You must hang on!
Sir, another bloodletting with electric drill
Inspector Ling...
is fainted on 7th floor!
Ling, Chief Inspector of Serious Crime Unit found fainted on 7th floor corridor
Ling Sir!
That murderer is downright mad
He never stops until all blood is drained
So why did he only spare Ling?
Tai's body with bloody holes all over
I still remember it clearly
15 minutes before Tai was attacked
His phone shows a call from Ling
Why did he only bring Tai to Peninsula Apartments?
He could go with me! Or with you!
Hey Leo, did Ling bring you along?
- What are you getting at? - Say it!
Can't I say what I think?
Including Tai, 3 victims were blood-let already!
Shouldn't we know what happened?
Why only Tai went to Peninsula Apartments with Ling?
If we were there too, Tai might not be injured
Tai was alive and kicking when he went out
and came back wounded like this
While Ling has no wound at all!
What do you want?
Calm down! We're colleagues!
Ling will explain when he wakes up
and I'll make you kneel and apologize to him
Shut up!
George!
Are you alright?
Who do you think you are?
Gangsters?
What's the use of arguing when Ling Sir is still sleeping?
Go now!
Team B, everyone leave with me now
Let Ling Sir take a good rest
It'll be fine
Don't worry
You're awake?
What happened really?
Why am I here?
Where's Sonny?
- Sonny - Daddy
Ghost
Ling! What does the murderer look like?
Tell me! And we'll dig him out!
Murderer...
What murderer?
You and Tai met the murderer...
at Peninsula Apartments
Don't you remember?
Peninsula Apartments?
Why did I go to Peninsula Apartments? Why am I here?
Where's Tai?
Tai is still in Intensive Care Unit
Tai has been blood-let with an electric drill
and pushed down the atrium
The doctor is trying to save him
I hope he'll come around
- Tai - Ling
- Doctor - Tai
How do you feel?
Tai
Why is he like that?
His head impact may lead to temporary memory loss
Temporarily, he may forget recent things
This is normal. Don't worry. He will recover
Doctor, when can I recover?
Some recover in days,
some take months. It depends
Doctor, I need your diagnosis, not a wild guess!
I am not guessing
Before the report is ready,
I cannot give a diagnosis
Ling Sir, take a rest and try to relax
Calm down and take a rest
We will arrest the murderer
Tai
Here you are
Report says before Tai fell down the atrium
he has been struggling
There's fiber from his clothes and yours on his fingers
Nothing else is found
He looks like he has a lot to say
Tell me what happened on the day of accident
You, me and Tai,
were working on this serial murder
In 2 months, this bloodletting murderer
has killed 2 innocent citizens already
But we have no clue on his motive
The murderer is extremely brutal
He drills holes in the victims' bodies
let their blood drain off and bleed to death
Both our unit and Headquarter are very anxious
Yesterday, you and Tai should both be off duty
Your wife said you suddenly went out...
at 2:30pm
We checked the call logs in your phone and Tai's
You called Tai at 2:18pm
CCTV tape records of Peninsula Apartments...
showed that Tai and you...
went in at 3:00pm and 3: 15pm respectively
Tai was 15 minutes earlier than you
Then we received a call from the station
Tai was found...
injured on the atrium
You have fainted on the 7th floor
They suspect you hit your head and fainted
We couldn't figure out why
Why you and Tai went to Peninsula Apartments together
Tai always tells us where he's going
and you seldom go on operation alone
My guess was, you suddenly came across some clues
otherwise you won't meet the murderer by chance
We searched the 7th floor, talked to all the occupants
and checked all the CCTV tapes
but no suspicious person has entered the building
The murderer just disappeared as if he could fly
Only you and Tai know...
what happened that day
Don't worry
We will catch the murderer
I must bring justice to Tai!
Police Headquarters
Ling Sir!
Chief! Sergeant!
Have you got all the stuff?
Take the stuff to the main office first
I'll see if Intelligence Bureau has anything new
OK
Let's go!
- Go. - Yes, Sir!
Ling Sir!
Chief... you've come back so early?
Why don't you take more rest?
I am fine. I don't need rest. Who are they?
The Headquarter just sent them here
Put all the stuff here first
Yes Sir!
Give me the file
Meeting starts in 30 minutes
Yu Sir!
I know you won't stay in the hospital
How are you? Feeling better now?
I'm much better now
I want to handle the case sooner
Those reporters... They know you're injured
and dug out everything about you overnight
The rumors are filling the papers every day
Now you're famous
The Headquarter is very concerned about this case
Too many issues involved
The trickiest thing is
this happens just before...
your Superintendent promotion
There is nothing you can do now
but to wish that we'd close the case as soon as possible
Then how about my promotion next month?
It'll be on hold. We need to clear this case first
I think you can understand
In fact
as a Chief Inspector,
you've proven your ability already
It's your health that's most important
I heard that your memory...
It'll just take some time
There won't be a problem
Ling
George's team can help out this case...
for the moment
so you can take a good rest
I don't need help, and I don't need rest
I just want to follow this case
It's up to you then
You can also pass this case to Ghost
You two buddies
What's yours is his, and what's his is yours, right?
Are you feeling better?
Hiding from the world?
How long has George's team been here?
Since Tai's accident,
Headquarter sent them here
And today their whole team moves in
Surely...
they won't tell us what they find
We all want to solve the case, that's all
The first victim was found on September 20th
Ken Cheung, aged 39
Dozens of holes found on his body
They suspect an electric drill as the murder weapon
He's a sports professor. No bad habits,
no debts, a thoroughly decent man
Less than 2 weeks later, on October 12th
the second male victim was found
Juno Ma, 40 years old
His mouth slit open. The killer didn't treat him like human
Used to be a comic artist, lives in Yaumatei area
No wife, no money, no enemies
Any connection between the 2 victims?
On the surface,
only connection is the way they died
Both are blood-let using an electric drill
We have no idea of the murderer's motive
That's why the case has been so tough
Both murders happened on Jagged Island
It's near to where you live
Watch out when you leave or go home
You were in charge of this serial murder all the way
Ling, you really can't remember a thing?
I think I recall something
Sonny! Don't make the computer so loud,
understand?
I understand! Morning daddy!
Good boy
Let's turn this down
All right!
You're awake?
- Morning, Honey. - Have some breakfast
When did I come back last night?
Were you so tired that you forgot when you came back?
You came home really late last night, wet through
You slept all the way until now
Come, Sonny, Daddy wants to join your game
Look at you. So careless
It's nothing
Darling, why don't you drop this case?
Why make it so hard on yourself?
Can no one else solve the case?
You needn't worry about me
I'll solve the case very soon
I just knew it
You'd rather have me worry
than give up the case
Honey
I've marked "Day off" on these 3 days
What did I do on these 3 days?
Usually you stay at home on day-offs
Can you be more specific?
I must know what I did on these 3 days
These 3 days... I really can't recall anything
You always stay with us on day-offs
That day,
you were at home all morning
then you suddenly left in the afternoon
Did I say where I went,
or what I would do?
No, you said nothing and left in a hurry
Daddy's always gone suddenly
Sonny, eat your food!
Mommy, I want one more egg
I'll go make one
Sonny, now tell daddy
What was I doing before I was in hospital?
You were eating the cake I made
What else? How did daddy go out?
Sonny doesn't remember
- You can remember. - Sonny doesn't remember
You didn't lose your memory!
You must remember!
Sonny really can't remember!
Come on, think!
Sonny can't remember!
- Mommy... - Sonny!
When we adopted Sonny
we said we'll love him like our own son
Do you still remember?
Yes, I said that
I will not let our son get hurt again
He makes such an effort to kill a person
He must know that will give us more clues
He is trying to get attention
He must have his purpose
Maybe this is his motive
It's 9th floor!
Not 7th floor!
When Tai was lying here, I was standing on 9th floor
I am sure it was 9th floor
9th floor?
What are thinking so hard about?
It's him!
Who is he?
I can't remember!
The pump room stinks worse than a garbage room
So many mice!
Who'll collect your garbage?
Smelly bastard! So many mice!
Stinky mice!
Goodness! What a stink!
This monkey was also blood-let!
It's the murderer
Finally we have a clue
The report says that on the crime scene
there were no other cars or passer-bys
- Ling Sir - Chief
How is it? Any progress?
We're waiting for Identification Bureau's report
Don't worry, Chief. We'll handle it
Ghost
From now on
put down what you're handling
Just watch him carefully, understand?
- Ok! - Yes, Sir!
Those reporters, they know you're injured
and searched your data
Rumors are filling the papers
Now you're famous
When can I recover?
They know you're injured and searched your data
Some recover in days,
some take months
Then how about my promotion next month?
It'll be on hold. We need to clear this case first
Tai was found injured on the atrium
Rumors are filling the papers
And you were found fainted on the 7th floor
There's fiber...
from his clothes and yours on his fingers
Some recover in days,
some take months
Take a good rest
Your memory...
Take good rest...
George's team can help out this case...
for the moment
Speak!
Ling Sir
Coming back so early?
So are you
I know you're waiting for...
the new report
so I bring it to you
We're doing the same case,
so we try to help
On the yellow electric drill found in the pump room
they found Tai's blood
It is certainly the murder weapon
Unfortunately no fingerprints were found
Thank you
It's nothing
Jagged Island
Daddy
Daddy, eat some cake
- What's this flavor? - Chocolate
What will you make next time?
It depends!
Who damaged your toy?
You made those holes in my toy!
Nonsense!
It's true
On the yellow electric drill found in the pump room
they found Tai's blood
I am innocent
You also know that, don't you?
You're the only one...
who can prove my innocence
I lost memory of so many things
I tried to find evidence
but what I found all point back at me
I know someone's framing me
Why?
The electric drill that drained your blood
why is it the same as the one I have at home?
Why is that?
You are the only one who can testify what happened
I can trust no one but you
The murderer is after me
He stalked me to my home
He has stalked my son
But I dare not move my home
or I'll never know who's after me
Honey!
Sonny!
Honey...
Wash your hands, OK?
Where have you been?
You're home so early?
I took Sonny to enjoy the sun
Was it fun? Shall we go again tomorrow?
No, you can't!
From now on, don't run around
Tell me where you'll go and I'll take you
What happened really?
Could you stop asking me why?
Do it even if it's unreasonable. Just once
I know you don't want me...
to be afraid
But I'm not afraid.
Don't hide from me
I am your wife
What is it that you can't tell me?
Minnie's coming back from US in 2 days
Are you going to pick her up?
OK
I'm going out for a while
You just came back. Where are you going?
I need to change all the locks
Doctor
When can I regain my memory?
I feel so dreadful
I don't even know if I'm lying now
I feel that I keep telling lies
I've always been an honest person
But nobody trusts me now
My team, my wife.
Why did I become like this?
So sneaky
I feel like dreaming every day
I cannot concentrate at all
I don't want to make mistake again
Make mistake?
It was 2 years ago
I saw a criminal in the park
I left my son in the park...
to arrest him
I did arrest the criminal
but when I went back
my son had fallen into the fishpond
and was drowned
I cannot forgive myself
I cannot make mistake again
I fear I'll lose my son again
Time can heal the pain
Shall I refer you to a psychologist?
There's no need
Then let's do another blood test
and a brain scan, all right?
I found something
Holes on the victims' backs are not random
I checked the other 2 corpses
they look the same as Tai
The holes were not made randomly
It's a pattern
- Chief! Ghost! - Chief! Ghost!
Ling Sir
Chief, be careful... you might throw up
So sick!
I never saw anything so awful
Where did those nails come from?
Goodness, that's so gruesome
Ling Sir. Ghost
Sir
Ling Sir
Where comes this stink?
What a stench
Ling Sir lives near Jagged Island too. Creepy
This looks like the pump room
should be the murderer's den
Chief
Investigation Bureau said
the woman was...
kept here many days before dying
The murderer was away for many days?
Impossible! He must have come back recently!
How do you know? Have you been here?
Nothing
What I mean is
it's impossible for a woman to last so long
Have you recalled something?
No, I recall nothing
You're here
Do you miss me?
Tell me quickly, who do you love the most?
Who do you love the most?
Look at you, still like a kid in your 30s!
Don't you feel embarrassed?
I'm your little sister no matter how old I get
I'm telling you, I won't go back to US
I will follow you anywhere from now on
Have you settled your things there?
What's to settle?
You just need a signature to divorce
I come right back after signing
Minnie
I won't let you go back to US
It's not safe around here
don't go out so much
Spend more time at home
Why?
Hey, I haven't finished!
Just let him go
He's been like this since the injury
Brother is always responsible since he was small
He gives his best to everything
Dad was most fond of him
He said Brother will have great success
Brother is Dad's biggest pride
Tell me more!
When will you get well?
I'll soon be fine
I promise you
Sonny
What's the matter?
Mommy... there's a monster!
Good boy, Mommy's here. Don't be afraid
I think I better sleep with him
Good night
The report shows that your brain scan is normal
The previous impact on your brain...
is recovered
But there's a problem with your blood
What?
We found a drug...
called "Propranolol" in your blood
It cures high blood pressure,
but it has side effects
It causes dizziness and short-term memory loss
That's why most doctors stopped using it
But in recent years, some psychiatrists
use it on patients...
with severe mental anguish
It's very strange that
your blood shows high concentration of this drug
It is like chronic poisoning
Poisoning?
You mean I cannot regain my memory
because I've taken this drug continuously?
It's this drug
Tai
You must hang on
I know you can hear me
You can hear what I say
Wake up! I can't take this anymore
I really don't know
I don't know who's trying to harm me
The murderer could be very close to me
I fear that he would hurt my wife and son
Why are you staring at me?
What do you want to say?
Tai
Get up! Get up now! Wake up!
Get up quickly!
Are you crazy?
Nurse
He's awake! Wake him up!
Teammates
I thought about the holes on the bodies
and thought about the pattern
That gave me an idea
Look at the holes
It's an animal shape when the holes are linked
Looks like a rabbit
or a mouse
Like a child's drawing of an animal
Study the pattern more carefully
It does look like a rabbit to me
From now on
watch out for similar patterns
Don't miss out anything
I also want to solve this case soon
I am as anxious as you are
I don't care if you believe me
I know the murderer is stalking me
I feel he is here now
watching us
It's him!
Don't run! I will catch you this time!
I can prove to you!
Don't run!
Don't run! Freeze!
I really saw the murderer
Come have a drink at my place
The last time I came to your place
you just adopted Sonny and held a birthday party
Tai was there too
Wow, so many locks!
You haven't been here in a while
Thank you
Have some
Why so quiet? Don't you know each other?
My sister Minnie, just returned from US
Ghost
- Hi! - Hi!
Here, I return these photos to you
Look, this cool kid here is my brother
Guess which one is me?
This one, obviously
Pretty girls are always easy to spot
Isn't your beauty standard a bit low?
How long are you staying?
I'm not leaving. Brother will take care of me
The first victim was found on September 20th
Less than 2 weeks later, Ken Cheung
on October 12th, aged 39
the second male victim is found
Juno Ma, 40 years old
used to be a comic artist, lives in Yaumatei area
No wife, no money, no enemies
Sonny
This is your Grandpa, this is Grandma
Let me see
There's one thing I haven't told him
I'm having a baby
Really?
Then tell him quickly!
I don't know if he'll be pleased
Of course he will be pleased
Don't cry, don't cry
Mom told me, if the mother cried
the baby would be ugly when it's born
So don't cry, and be happy. Understand?
It is true?
Do you want a little brother or a sister?
I want both!
Sonny, tell Uncle Ghost
Why did you draw this picture? What have you seen?
Why did you draw this picture? Tell Uncle quickly!
I didn't draw the picture!
Can you give this picture to Uncle?
No! You can draw another one if you like
Hey, it's dessert time
Come and try my nice work!
Uncle, can you return the picture to me?
What have you done? Stealing from a kid?
Hey, bring it here if you've stolen it!
Gee, and I wonder what it was
Did you draw the rabbit, Sonny?
Daddy drew it!
It's late. I should go now. Thanks for dinner
Come again soon, Ghost
Sure. Goodbye
Finish dessert before you go?
Ghost
Let's talk tomorrow
Hey I was just kidding!
It's just a dream. It's fine
I don't even know if it's a dream
These photos are from the victim,
May Tong's home
Ghost, are you alright?
I'm fine
Hello
I know who the murderer is
I saw him on the beach last night. I fought with him
Why would I lie to you? I really saw the murderer!
Tell the truth!
Can you explain last night's drawing?
Why is it the same pattern...
as the victims' backs?
You were on leave every time those murders happened
You've been hiding all of these. Why?
You just don't trust me!
Right! I don't trust you now!
Tell the truth and help me trust you!
I really didn't draw that picture!
I cannot regain my memory
because someone was poisoning me
How much longer are you going to lie?
This photo was found in the female victim's home
Why did you cover this up?
You knew all the victims
They were all your childhood neighbors
All the evidences I found are against me
If I told you earlier, would you believe me?
What's the difference?
Trust me, Ghost
I really saw the murderer
He's like a beggar, long hair and moves quickly
Enough! Enough!
I bring you here because I want to know
if you have any truth to tell me!
If you really don't trust me
give me one week
I will catch the murderer
If you've given me time and I can't catch him
then I have no one to blame
No! You can't cover this any longer!
Just one week!
Don't hand in the photo now
I will give you an answer in one week
If you hand in the photo now,
I'm finished!
You give me this bullshit just to cover up!
How long can you cover this up?
If you are innocent, God will show you justice!
If there's justice, Tai would not die!
I just want to clarify this matter
Listen to me. We have been friends for so long
You know I will not hurt Tai
I am innocent!
Just because we've been friends for so long
I give you a chance to tell the truth!
