You said you wouldn't call her
Men are such jerks!
I did say I wouldn't call her again,
but she really needed my help
I was just showing concern to a friend
Concern? That's nonsense!
You still want to fool around with her
You two are shameless! Liars!
You're cheap! You'll pay for this!
Listen, I'd hit a woman if I had to
I don't ever want to see you again
No...
It takes real commitment from two persons to make a marriage work
I know you have your differences,
but the fact that you met each other and tied the knot...
means it was meant to be
You should cherish what you have
Can you really bear to call it quits after so many years?
Are you married?
No, but I'm seeing someone
You aren't married, yet you know what marriage is
Yes, a marriage takes two persons to make it work
If one of them wants to give it up,
what should the other person do?
I didn't cheat on you
I go home as soon as I knock off
I even stay at home at weekends
Only physically
When he gets home, he goes online, watches TV,
reads novels and watches movies
He laughs to himself, eyes fixed on his phone
I'm invisible to him
That's called emotional infidelity
Mrs Li, emotional infidelity has no basis in law
According to the matrimonial law,
you can only seek compensation in these four situations
First, bigamy; second, your spouse is cohabiting with another person;
third, domestic violence;
fourth, abandonment or abuse of family members
Emotional infidelity isn't one of them
He owes me for everything he has
I want a divorce, not compensation
Stop making a spectacle of yourself
Excuse me? Why won't you just admit to it?
Do you have a mistress? Tell me!
Don't listen to her. I don't have a mistress
We argue over this every day
Our daughter left home because of this
If this goes on any longer, I'm going to break down
I want a divorce
Since your mind's made up,
I won't say anymore
For couples with children, the settlement agreement...
will indicate issues of property and debt,
as well as the children's custody and maintenance
Do you have any other conditions?
I'm sorry. I was in court earlier
Mr Li, Mrs Li, I'm Wu Yuan
This is my law firm
I'll be overseeing your divorce proceedings
You're the lawyer? -Yes
I forgot to introduce myself
I'm Liang Wenjie, Mr Wu's assistant
Mr Wu had instructed me to meet you first
Your firm is really unprofessional
How could you ask any person to speak to us?
Don't worry, I will prepare...
the settlement agreement myself
Let's discuss the provisions of the agreement now
I want custody of my daughter
All right. Mrs Li shall have custody of the child
Mr Li shall pay child maintenance,
including medical and education expenses, and insurance costs
The father may visit the child up to eight times a month
The execution of visitation rights must not affect the child's studies
I'm fine with that
What about the division of your property?
Inform me when you've settled the details with her
I'm going back to the office
Why do you want to break up with me?
I've thought long and hard about it, and asked myself many times
What do I really want?
What do you want?
We're not right for each other
But you said you'd love me forever,
and take care of me forever
I'm sorry -Is that all you have to say?
I'm supposed to forget what you said?
When your feelings have changed,
you can't go back anymore
So... you don't love me anymore?
You've changed. You don't love me anymore, right?
Right
What did I do wrong? -Don't you get it?
Right or wrong - it doesn't matter. Let's break up
Is this... really the end?
Promise me...
Take care of yourself. You'll find a better man than me
You OK, Madam? -Yes
We've finally caught the perverted killer
Don't be so sure
Take him back to the station
Where were you on 11 and 18 August...
between 10 pm and 12 midnight?
Who were you with and what were you doing?
It's so long ago. How can I still remember?
Don't get smart. Things aren't looking good for you
Think carefully - both days are Fridays
18 August? Oh, yes
I was watching football
You're lying
There were no football matches on TV that evening
I was watching a repeat telecast of a match on TV
The score was 3-1
Here, look
Do you know these girls?
No
We found photos you secretly snapped of women,
and female personal items in your home. What's your explanation?
Female personal items?
Bras and panties
That's my hobby
I bought them for my collection. Is that illegal?
We'll find out if they were bought...
or stolen
You'll face charges of molestation and improper photography
Is that understood?
You take over, Uncle Chen. Take him out
Madam, we're letting him go just like that?
Yes. He's a peeping Tom, not a murderer
Let's not waste our time -Yes, Madam
Madam, why made you so sure...
the suspect wasn't connected to the headless body case?
When people are lying, they'll make excessive gestures
They'll touch their noses and necks unconsciously,
or the jewellery they're wearing
They'll also arch their bodies unconsciously
But, when you were interrogating him,
his hands were placed naturally on the desk
His body didn't show any unusual movements either
Did you also notice...
when you asked where he was on the day of the murder,
his eyes glanced up to the left?
A person is likely to be lying when he looks up to his right
Might he be hiding the fact that he's lying?
It's a basic reflex
Unless you've been trained,
it's hard to fake it
Madam's right. He's just a peeping Tom
He'll be charged with molestation and attempted assault
Is this the second victim's autopsy report?
Yes, Madam
The killer's MO is the same as last time
The killer is thought to have killed them first...
before decapitating them
A slimy substance similar to glue...
was found in the throats of both victims
The two female victims had similar traits,
such as their build, height and age
The bodies were also disposed of similarly
The killer could be the same person
A serial killer? -Perhaps
This is going to be tricky
Why would you say that?
If we don't find and arrest the killer,
there'll be another victim
Cancel your leave...
and be on 24-hour standby
Yes, Madam
"10-year Dating Anniversary"
Sorry
Something urgent came up at work
Take some water and catch your breath
Thanks
You've ordered?
Steak done medium. It's your favourite
I feel like having a medium well steak today
Why the change?
I don't want to be a stick-in-the-mud
Changes may bring pleasant surprises
Excuse me
I'd like my steak done medium well
Sure -Thank you
Cheers
Is work busy?
The two headless body cases haven't thrown up any leads yet
I've read the news. The cases seem tricky
Playing Sherlock Holmes again?
Just an opinion. You don't have to take it seriously
I'm all ears
The killer struck at a specific time
Friday evenings when it rains
I think you're dealing with a serial killer
He chooses his victims carefully
A young woman...
who just had an argument with her boyfriend
We know all that
There's more...
He hates women, right?
You knew that?
Please don't doubt our competence
We've done everything we could
Don't worry yourself
Hi, there -Hi, Philip
I've known you both for three years
Same time, same person, same table
And the same great flavours
Happy anniversary -Thank you
Thank you
Thanks, Philip -No, I should thank you
You come to my restaurant to celebrate every year
I hope to see you on this day every year
I'm sorry, but we may have to disappoint you next year
Why?
We may not come here next year
Why won't we go back there next year?
You don't think...
we should have a talk?
Is it me? The place? Or the time?
You're a smart guy. You should know the answer
You think so, too?
Do you want to talk about it?
I don't know why,
but things just feel different
You have no more feelings for me?
It's tiring to give in to the other person all the time
You've been giving in to me?
You always get to decide what we do, eat, or where we go
You always say "I'm easy"
I thought you didn't mind
I always wonder...
why you've never asked...
what I want to eat, what movie I want to watch
Do you not care about how I feel?
I'd thought if you didn't like it, you'd tell me
So, the problem's me
No, it's me
We've finally agreed on something
We can still be friends, can't we?
What is it, Jason?
Another headless body?
I'm on my way
You want to throw me out of the car again?
I've helped you guys solve several cases
Remember my analysis?
Yesterday was Friday and it was raining
I'd like to be a good citizen
Madam -What do we have?
A jogger stumbled across the body and called the police
We've taken his statement. He's not a suspect
The forensic pathologist is examining the corpse
Is it similar to the previous two cases?
The victim is a female. Looking at her skin,
she's between 20 and 25 years old
Time of death is 10 to 12 hours ago
She has bruises on both her arms
There's skin tissue under her nails
I believe she'd had a tussle...
with the killer before she died
Any signs of sexual assault?
Preliminary examinations showed none
The victim was killed and her body disposed of...
in the same manner as the other two headless bodies
I suspect it's the same killer
I'll let you have the report asap
Sure. Thank you
Madam, we've combed through the area
We didn't find the victim's head
The heavy rain last night had washed away all traces of evidence
Finding the decapitated head will be hard
Michael...
See if there have been missing persons reports the last two weeks
Yes, Madam
Ziliang, contact the K-9 Unit. Tell them we need support
Yes
Uncle Chen, get two other officers...
to look for witnesses nearby
Yes, Madam
Jason, do another search of the same places again
Search in all possible places
Yes, Madam
How did you know the victim's head was buried here?
This isn't the scene of the murder
There are no signs of a tussle
The killer had a plan
He transported the body here, then cut off the head,
with the intention of burying it
But as it was raining heavily,
he had no time to lose
So, I thought the head must be somewhere nearby
Those conjectures wouldn't have led you...
to the head's exact position
Did you smell it?
Don't tell us you have a keen sixth sense?
They led you here
You've noticed?
Ants are always looking for food
The decapitated head is their food
I followed the ants here
The soil here is also very loose
It's easy to dig through
I figured the head was buried here
In the previous cases,
the killer had buried the decapitated heads elsewhere
Why was the head buried near the body this time?
Isn't this your job?
Is the water temperature OK?
It's just right
It's not often that you wash my hair
If you like, I can wash your hair every day
Did you get fired?
Mum, did you have to curse me?
I'm indispensable to Mr Wu. He won't fire me
Let me guess
You got dumped by Anni?
You really got dumped?
No, we broke up amicably
Break-ups are never amicable
The pain is proportional to the depth of your love
If the break-up doesn't hurt you,
it means you didn't love each other
Quick, tell me what happened
Like I told you, nothing shattering happened
We broke up 'cause we were no longer right for each other
You're just like the water temperature you set
It's neither cold nor hot
You said it felt just right
It's different
As a police officer, intensity's her thing
She prefers it hot and intense
Mum, how could you compare relationships to hair-washing?
Really...
People are like scalp
When you're supposed to be gentle, you should be gentle
If more strength's needed, use more strength. Get it?
Your customers will stay loyal to you if you master the technique
Relationships are the same
If a couple understand this balancing act,
I'm sure their relationship can last forever
If I'd known this,
I wouldn't have divorced your dad
Someone's feeling lonely
Mum, have you thought of finding a companion?
Yes, I'm very lonely
The house is too quiet
Get married and bear me grandchildren
Right, I'll find you a lovely daughter-in-law
Don't you worry
Today's Friday -Yes. What is it?
Nothing
I've examined the body
The victim wasn't sexually assaulted
But the killer was very brutal
It appears the victim was hit in the back of her head by a heavy object
The blow was so hard that her skull cracked
What was the heavy object?
Going by the surface area and how uneven it is,
I believe it was a rock
And, as with the other two victims,
her head was cut off by a sharp weapon such as an axe
But something else baffles me
What do you mean?
The force the killer applied on this victim was different
In the previous two cases, the victims' heads were severed with three, four strokes
But it was seven, eight strokes for this victim
Do we have a different killer then?
The evidence isn't conclusive enough
The killer could've hurt his arm, weakening his strength
There are many more possibilities
We shouldn't jump to conclusions yet
What did you find in her mouth?
Glue
Why is there glue?
I'm a forensic pathologist
Perhaps you should ask a psychiatrist
Madam, they're the victim's parents
She's Senior Inspector Zhao Anni, who's in charge of this case
I thought May had just left home
I didn't think...
Mrs Li, please calm down
We'll find the killer
Tell me - who killed my daughter?
We're still investigating
We'd like to ask you some questions. Is that all right?
Did your daughter have any enemies?
May was well liked by everyone
She had no enemies
Do you know whom she hung out with?
What exactly do you want to know?
We're very busy. We have no time for this
Please find the killer
Madam
May's family is very rich. Mr Li runs his own company
Mrs Li is a socialite
They knew very little about their own daughter
I've also found out that they're getting a divorce
Really?
I doubt they can provide us with any leads
Go back to the station. I'm going somewhere
Serial killers often show consistency in general style
Their motives, modi operandi and victims...
remain fairly consistent
Studies of past cases show...
their criminal acts have roots...
in their social background,
or life experiences
So, their life experiences...
may have left them emotionally scarred
To seek revenge, they target people with similar traits
You're very smart -Thank you
I want to show you a photo
This is the latest victim. Her name is May
This is the decapitated head we found at the crime scene
Look closer - her mouth is filled with glue
Any idea what this means?
This may have something to do with blabbering
Blabbering? How do you mean?
The serial killer may hate gossipmongers...
or long-winded women
He filled his victims' mouths with glue...
to glue them closed,
so they wouldn't be able to talk when dead
The killer might have known his victims?
That's possible
The killer has struck three times - all on Fridays
Rainy nights to be exact
Would a specific time or place...
trigger in the killer an urge to kill?
The possibility is even greater
Want to know more? -Of course
He choose to strike on rainy nights...
perhaps because of painful past experiences
He turns violent easily on rainy days
Or he may be a cleanliness freak
He hopes the rain can wash away the blood...
as well as his guilt
Or the killer loves a challenge
He's waiting for the police...
to find evidence of his crimes
Am I confusing you?
Not at all. Your analysis has given me some ideas
Thank you, Dr Guo. Sorry to trouble you
It's my pleasure
I won't hesitate to seek your help in future
Anytime
Any more questions?
That's all I have
Thank you
You're welcome. Feel free to contact me
Thank you for your time. Bye
Hello, Dad. What is it?
What?
You've got guts. You brought only two men
Why bring more when two is enough?
I don't need an army to deal with a small fry like you
Cut the crap! What do you want?
If I'm being nice, I'll call you Flaming Zhu
If I'm not, I'll call you Flailing Zhu!
You showed my dad no respect...
by letting your men sell drugs on our turf
Don't you know the rules?
I should be asking you that!
Isn't Chief Hong retired?
You have no business interfering in my business
I like to sell drugs there. Try stopping me
So what if you're Chief Hong's son? You've got no right to stop me!
Say that again
I said, the old tortoise is ancient history
The hatchling should crawl back to its burrow
Come on!
You're not getting away!
I'm not going anywhere. Come and get me!
Come on!
Get in, Junrong!
I'll be back!
If I hadn't got there in time,
you would've been a goner
If you hadn't showed up,
I would've punched his face in
But... thank you
Dad's worried. Go and see him
It's Dad's birthday today. I need to change my clothes
Uncle Liu
Mr Huang -Hello
Enjoy yourselves later
The banquet is about to start
Chen, where's Chief Hong?
He's coming
Why are you two so late?
Chief
Chief Hong, I wish you many happy returns
-You're very kind to bring me a gift -It's nothing
Happy birthday -Thanks. Have a seat
Have a seat
Chief, everything's ready
Dad
I wish you good health and longevity
Happy birthday, Dad
Is it settled? -Yes
I'll give them a hiding the next time I see them!
Shut up!
Dad, it's your birthday
We can talk later
Chief Hong
Happy birthday
Congratulations on your comeback
Please accept my humble gift
Thank you
Are you joking? I'm making a comeback?
I'm just celebrating my birthday
I think you're using this occasion...
to announce your comeback
When I announced my retirement, you were there as well
To people like us,
trust is the most important thing
You may be trustworthy,
but I'm not sure your men are
Or else, someone wouldn't have stirred up trouble on my turf
Don't beat about the bush
I beat up this punk. So what?
Enough! Yongyan
Don't grab me!
Let's thrash things out now
Golden Snake, keep your man on a tight leash
He'll get it from me if he ruffles my feathers!
Chief Hong, your son's stepping out of line
Times are certainly different
Back when we were young and clueless,
we still showed respect to our elders
Respect? Who flouted the rules in the first place?
Are you finished?
Dad, I'm putting him in his place!
You beat him up. Apologize to him now!
Apologize to him? Over my dead body!
What?
Junrong!
I'll go after him
Chief Hong, your son has left
What are you going to do about this?
I've failed to take my son in hand
I apologize to you on his behalf
Here - bottoms up
I was told your men had stirred up trouble on my turf,
so Junrong beat them up
Chief Hong, you've retired
What turf do you have?
Excuse me?
Get this into your head!
Who's in charge here?
Although I'm retired,
I still have a lot of influence
Buddy, I hear you're going places these days
Careful you don't fall flat on your face
It's my birthday today
I don't want things to get ugly
You and your men had better leave
Chen, see them out
Please
If I hadn't braked hard,
you'd be dead now
You won't let me come to any harm
Still angry?
What did I do wrong?
I got told off after helping him teach that punk a lesson
He's your father -So what?
He made me look bad just now
Would anyone respect me now?
Don't you get it? He's helping you
Don't try to defend him
Dad has never liked me
Nothing I do pleases him
You're different - you're highly educated
You're sensible and smart. To him, you can do no wrong
Do you know why Dad takes you to task...
but not me?
'Cause I get on his nerves all the time
I always upset him and talk back to him
You're his biological son. I'm not
I thought you were consoling me? Why did you say that?
It's the truth
So what if it's the truth?
I regard you as my real brother
You'll forever be my brother
Next time you feel troubled,
ask me out for a drink or a sparring session
Don't go racing on the road. It's dangerous
I'm not scared. You're my guardian angel
Huixin, why did you stop?
I'm tired. I can't walk anymore
-No, we must keep going -Where are we going?
I don't know
But if we don't get going,
we'll be separated
I don't want that! -Let's go then
What are you doing?
Brother!
Huixin, don't let go!
-What do you want? Huixin! -Brother!
Let go of me! Huixin!
Brother!
Huixin!
Give Huixin back to me!
Huixin!
Sorry. I'll wait for you outside
I knocked it over the other day
I haven't had time to put them back. What brought you here?
Sorry, I came by to get some stuff
I didn't know you were in
I thought you'd left for work
Why are you apologizing?
Things are different now between us
Didn't we say we'd remain friends?
Besides getting my own stuff,
I also want to return the house key to you
There's no hurry
Do you need my help?
No, I can manage
Go. Don't be late for work
All right. Lock the door when you leave
Bye
Miss, may I sit down?
No
I've observed you for a while. You're here alone
Can we be friends?
Sorry, I'm not interested
Sorry, I'm late
Sorry, I'll go
What a coincidence
Yes
I hope I didn't get in your way
Don't be ridiculous. Have a drink
Cheers
Madam, you look down
Had a fight with your boyfriend?
How did you know I was feeling down?
Why would you assume my moodiness...
had to do with my boyfriend?
Couldn't it be work-related?
Drinking alone at a pub says you're in low spirits
You're so capable
I don't think you have problems at work
It was with certainty that I said...
you had relationship problems
How long have you known me?
Since we started studying the criminal cases together...
About three months
Some couples hardly know their partners even after dating for three years,
still less three months
That's true
The human heart is inscrutable and complex
Well said
Let me see you home -No need
You drank quite a lot. Let me see you home
How's the headless body case coming along?
Any leads?
Nothing yet
You asked me about the glue...
in the victims' mouths, remember?
You found something?
I think it's related to their bipolar disorder
They had bipolar disorder?
It was a conjecture
What led you to such a conjecture?
According to the descriptions you gave me,
the three female victims were over-talkative
They were also quick-tempered and impulsive
Patients with bipolar disorder often have such traits
And your theory is...?
Might the killer...
be someone who hates mean and spiteful women?
That's possible
It's just a guess
It's not 100% correct
But it's a useful lead
Thanks
May had a close relationship with a man
Here's the details
All three victims also had one thing in common
They were short-tempered,
quick to scold people, and lost control occasionally
They might have had bipolar disorder
Bipolar disorder
Come in
Madam, I've tracked down May's boyfriend
There's no record of him leaving the country
Get ready. We're leaving in 10 minutes
Uncle Chen, please check something for me
Hello. Are you Anthony Ong?
Yes
I'm Senior Inspector Zhao Anni, Major Crime Division
He's my colleague
Can I help you?
Was May Lee your girlfriend?
Yes
We'd like to ask you a few questions about her
Please come with us to the station
Sorry, I don't know anything. I'm in a hurry
We won't take up too much of your time
All right
You OK? Are you hurt?
I'm hurt? That's impossible
I forgot you had the smarts as well as muscle
The DNA report is out
The skin tissue under May's fingernails...
matches that of her boyfriend
He was the last person May had contact with?
You could say that
Why did you kill May?
I didn't -You did
We found your skin tissue under May's nails
You were the last person she had contact with
I didn't kill her. I had nothing to do with her death
If that were true,
why did you flee when you saw us?
Actually...
I just conned some women out of their money
I didn't kill May
Murder is a serious crime. I wouldn't do it
You said you'd conned some women out of their money
What's that about?
I was just trying to support myself
Women are... an easy target
If I indulge and humour them,
they'll give me money without asking
You became friends with May because she was rich?
When May found out you were a cheat and wanted to expose you,
you killed her
No, I didn't
How many times do I have to say this?
I'm not responsible for her death
Were you with May on the day she was killed?
Take all the time you need
The smart thing to do is to tell us the truth
Things aren't in your favour
All right, I'll tell you
Madam, do you believe him?
It's not my call
Going by your theory, his body language indicated he was lying
He was at first, but he became normal afterwards
He was worried we wouldn't believe him
But he's still our prime suspect
He was the last person May had contact with
He had the motive to kill May
But don't forget - we're dealing with a serial killer here
Why would he want to kill the other two victims?
He wasn't related to them whatsoever
-What if he was? -That's for us to find out
Come to the park with me -The park?
May and Anthony had a fight there
My instinct tells me we'll find clues there
Madam, we haven't found anything
Why are you so sure there are clues here?
Thirty minutes had elapsed between May's fight with Anthony...
and her time of death
I think she was killed while making her way home...
after the fight
It's May's shoe
She was probably killed here
Search this area
See if the killer left any clues
Yes, Madam
Madam
The shoe we found belonged to May
The drag marks were over a short distance
The killer probably hauled May into a vehicle...
after knocking her unconscious
The crime scene investigators have combed the area
But as it's a public area,
they didn't find any useful leads
Is something wrong, Madam?
I've looked up the weather forecast
It's going to rain on Friday night
If we can't find the killer,
another girl will get killed
I'm sorry to ask you here on such short notice
That's all right
Sit down
What is it?
Now, as regards the serial killer's motives,
I've studied them
I think there's another possibility
Yes?
The serial killer could be a copycat killer
OK
We have an innate ability to learn
This also applies to the learning of criminal behaviour
There was a similar series of murders many years ago
I think the killer was carrying out copycat killings
This is info on criminal psychology
Excuse me
Uncle Chen
Madam, I've found the info you asked for
All the victims were suffering from bipolar disorder,
and saw the same psychiatrist,
Guo Yongyan
Madam, Guo Yongyan could be the serial killer
