But you've been behaving very suspiciously
When the homicides happened, you weren't there and you had no alibi
It's all a coincidence!
He may have done me wrong, but I'm a cop
I wouldn't kill anyone!
Tan Xinde was acquitted and released
Is there no justice in this world?
These scoundrels have taken everything away from me!
I killed them! I killed them, you hear?
I killed them!
He's insisted that he killed them
But when I asked him where the weapon was, he hesitated
You suspect he's lying?
He may be an accomplice
Or... he's protecting someone
What are you doing?
Something's not right about him
He bribed the real estate agent to get close to us
That smells so good!
Why don't you rest? I'll take over
It's all right
I'm making an extra dish. It's Wenjie's favourite
Get me the soy sauce. It's in the cupboard
Sure
Huixin!
What's wrong? Did you cut your hand?
I'm fine
How careless of you!
Go sit outside. I'll clear this up
Mum!
-What time is Bro coming home? -Any time now
You need to ask him something?
No
You're calling Wenjie?
There's no answer?
Where has he gone?
What's the matter?
You look pale
Are you afraid something's happened to him?
I'm sure he's fine
He's probably driving and can't pick up the phone
That must be it
Mum, I just remembered something - I have to go back to the shop
Don't be long. We'll have dinner together
Okay
Zhou Mingxian lost a fortune on stocks
He borrowed a lot of money from loan sharks and hasn't paid it back yet
And he's been trying to sell his business
He must really be desperate
Have we found anything else?
I looked into Jessie. She's been with Zhou for years
She worships money and lives extravagantly
But she's unemployed. It's obvious that Zhou has been providing for her
The odd thing is,
Zhou is having money problems while Jessie hasn't much in the bank
But she's resumed her old lifestyle
She's visiting posh places and buying designer goods
That does smell fishy
Stay on Jessie
And have Zhou Mingxian watched around the clock
Let me know the minute something comes up
Yes, ma'am
Ma'am, you've a visitor -Anni!
Huixin? What's the matter?
Could you find my brother? I think he's in danger
What's happened?
I saw him bleeding
But I don't know where he is
You mean he's been taken?
I don't know
All I know is that he's in pain
He's going to die
I called him but there was no answer
Find out Wenjie's last location from his phone signal
But we're not sure he's really missing. It's against protocol
I don't have the time to discuss that. Just do it!
Yes, ma'am
Thank you
Let us handle it. We'll find him
Okay
If you find out where he is, please call me immediately
Thank you
Well?
-What did Uncle Wu Yuan say? -He doesn't know
Where is my brother?
If you could sense that he's in danger,
could you try and focus...
and see if other images appear?
I've tried many times but I don't see anything
What else did you see earlier, then?
His head was injured
He was in a dark place
If that's true,
then he's been taken
By whom?
He was following a suspect
I told him to stop but he wouldn't listen
Now he's in real trouble
Then isn't he in grave danger?
Hello?
Ma'am, the GPS indicates...
that the last known location of Wenjie's phone...
is outside Zhou Mingxian's office
Got it
Michael says he has found a buyer
We should get paid soon
Once we do, we'll leave this place
That's great. Then you won't have to look over your shoulder all the time
Once we're abroad, you can spend the money any way you please
You said it yourself
Boss?
I need to talk to you
Officer, what are you doing here again?
Have you seen this man?
No -Look carefully
Officer, this is harassment. Why are you looking for him here?
We know he was at your office this morning
So look carefully and tell me if you've seen him
Isn't this... the guy who was interested in our shop?
That's right
But we haven't seen him since
You're sure you didn't see him this morning?
I was at home all morning. I only came to the office in the afternoon
Please tell me where he is!
He's my brother and he's missing
We've told you the facts, miss. Let go
Ladies, I do want to help you
But I don't know where he is
You're lying!
You must know where he is
Miss, I could sue you for saying that!
Mr Zhou Mingxian...
You know what you've done
Officer...
If you have a search warrant,
you can search the place, I've nothing to hide
But if you don't,
please leave
Help!
Huixin
Thanks
Don't worry too much
The situation may not be as bad as you think
But I really feel that he's in grave danger
We're on it
I'm sure we'll have news of Wenjie soon
Trust me - I'll find him
Why don't you go home and rest?
No. I'll wait here
Jason, what's the situation?
Everything's quiet. No sign of Zhou Mingxian
-Keep looking out for him -Roger
Jason
Ma'am, I see Zhou Mingxian's car
Tail him -Yes, ma'am
We're being followed
Don't turn around
Be careful later
We'll play it by ear
Right
Jason, stay close. Don't lose him
Yes, ma'am
Watch out!
Jason...
Zhou Mingxian's coming your way. Keep tailing him
Yes, ma'am -Roger
Ziliang, it's Zhou Mingxian's car. Follow it
Good thing we didn't lose him
Something's not right
Let's take a look
Ma'am, Zhou Mingxian is alone. Jessie's gone
Police
Jason, arrest Zhou Mingxian
Zhou Mingxian, please come down to the station with us
Can you tell me where you got all that money?
I don't know
Stop pretending
This money is the ransom they received years ago when they kidnapped the girl
You and Zhou Mingxian were going to keep it all for yourself, weren't you?
I didn't know there was money in the bag
If you keep lying to cover up for Zhou Mingxian,
then you're an accomplice
The penalty for kidnapping and murder is death
Work with the police, and we'll plead with the judge for you
Your girlfriend Jessie has confessed that the money was the ransom from years ago
I'd advise you not to compound your mistakes
-Where is Liang Wenjie? -I don't know
I don't like to repeat myself
-I want to see my lawyer -You have no right to see your lawyer
You took him. Don't deny it
Zhou Mingxian, the surveillance cameras near your office...
show that Liang Wenjie was at your office this morning
And you had driven his car away
Where are you holding him?
Until my lawyer arrives,
I won't say another word
Well? Did you get anything out of him?
Let me take you home
What is it, Jason?
He can see his lawyer, but no bail
Huixin, what's wrong?
-I saw more images -What did you see?
An industrial ruin...
The beach...
The sun rising...
Ziliang?
See if you can find an industrial ruin on the East Coast
Send me the location
Is this the place?
I think so
If the images are accurate, Wenjie must be nearby
Let's look around
Come
Thank you
Are you hurt? -No
It's dangerous here. Wait in the car
No. I'm worried about my brother
All right, but be careful
Things are getting more and more dangerous for my brother
Let's split up
You look over there
Bro! -Wenjie!
Wenjie!
Bro!
Wenjie!
Bro!
Wenjie!
Wenjie?
Wenjie!
Careful...
Bro! -We'll tug it together
One, two, three!
Bro!
Bro, wake up!
Here, Huixin
Move back
Bro! Wake up, Bro!
Bro!
Wenjie!
Wenjie! Wenjie!
Huixin! Huixin!
-Mum! -How is your brother?
They're working on him
Is it serious? What did the doctor say?
Auntie, we're still waiting for the doctor to come out
How could this have happened?
I finally got my daughter back,
but now my son's hurt
Why is heaven so cruel to me?
Doctor, how is my son?
He lost a lot of blood. He needs a blood transfusion
But we don't have sufficient blood stocks
Are any of you a B positive?
I'm not the same blood type as Wenjie
Huixin, I remember you two were the same blood type
-I... -Please come with the nurse
But doctor, I'm on long-term medication
Can I still give my brother blood?
I'm afraid not
My blood type is O positive. Can I?
Yes. Take this lady for a checkup
Auntie, don't worry. Wenjie will be fine
I won't be long -Anni, thank you!
Thank you
I'm really sorry
Your condition is so serious but I can't help you
You saved me once
But I can't save you
Nothing must happen to you
If anything did,
I don't know what I'd do
Bro! You're awake?
I'll get the doctor
Relax...
I'm not dead
Wenjie, you're awake?
Thank heavens!
Do you feel any pain?
I'm fine. I won't die
The moment you wake up, you're talking nonsense
You gave me quite a scare
Mum, don't scare yourself
-I'm fine, aren't I? -You'd be the one to talk
You almost died
You're exaggerating
You're lucky Anni was there,
or you'd be dead by now
You should thank her
If you want to thank me,
take better care of yourself
Stop being so cocky
You won't always be this lucky
Look - so many people care about you
Think about them if not yourself
Anni's right
Let this be a lesson to you
Wenjie has been rescued
We have evidence and a witness. You'd better tell us the truth
Tan Xinde, David and Hu Jinteng -
did you kill them?
At first, I just wanted my money back
I didn't mean to kill anyone
We had planned the kidnapping together
After we got the ransom, the girl died
You know the rest
De was arrested
Only he knew where the ransom money was
We had thought we'd lost the money
But then, after five years, he was released
So we looked him up
Before we could reach an agreement on the ransom,
De got into more trouble
Have some more
Sure...
You girls are spending the night with me
Leave us
What brings you guys here?
You're all here
Don't tell me you're here to celebrate with me
Of course we are
We're here to celebrate your release
That's loyal of you
But why did you never visit in the five years I was in jail?
Let's not talk about the past
You're still in one piece, aren't you?
Come
Let me drink to you
Bottoms up, and we'll be buddies as before
Cheers!
Right
We've had our drink
It's time to get down to business
When it comes down to it, you're here for the money
Don't forget
The four of us risked our lives to get that money
You wouldn't keep it all for yourself, would you?
What do you mean?
Think about it -
who took the fall for all of you?
Have you any idea what five years in jail is like?
You were careless. You've only yourself to blame
Don't even think of keeping all the money!
You hard-hearted scumbag!
Stop it! Both of you!
We're all buddies here
Let's not fall out over this
Drink up
We'll talk about the money another day
Are you okay, buddy?
If you can't hold your drink, don't drink so much
You're not me
You all want to know where I've hidden the money?
Yeah. Where?
I...
I've forgotten
Scumbag!
Tell us where the money is, or I'll kill you!
I went to jail for five years for all of you
I'm not telling you even if you kill me!
No!
Xian!
No, Xian!
Don't be rash!
Let me go!
If you kill him, we won't get the money!
We're all buddies. Why do this?
You think I won't kill you?
No!
You killed my daughter! I want you dead!
Are you mad?
I didn't kill your daughter. You've got the wrong man
I'll kill you!
Hurry!
That will do
Throw him in. Quick!
Quick
Out of the way!
The scumbag...
It's bad enough that he's hoarding the money
Now he's killed someone
He's got us in big trouble
Do you think he'll just abscond with the money?
Then if the cops came, we'd have to take the fall for him
Why not... just kill them all?
And make it look like Chen Yanbin did it, for revenge
I may as well go all the way
Once they're all dead,
the money will be mine
Out with it! Where's the money?
The money's...
under my bed in my parents' home
A LIFE FOR A LIFE
Mum!
-Auntie! -Mum! Mum!
So for money...
you killed all your partners in crime
To hide your crimes,
you tried to frame an innocent man
Have you any idea how much suffering you people have caused Uncle Chen's family?
Where is your conscience?
A degenerate who has lost all sense of morality
He's not worth our time
He doesn't understand what you're saying anyway
Officer, I know I was wrong
I didn't mean to do all that
I've been having nightmares
It was Jessie - she instigated me
I've told you everything. Will you help me?
Plead with the judge for me. I don't want to die
Why don't you talk to your lawyer?
You're still trying to pin the blame on someone else
If it wasn't for your own greed, who could instigate you?
You have only yourself to blame
This is what they call suffering the consequences of your own actions
Heard of the expression?
I doubt your lawyer could save you, though
Prepare yourself for the judgment of the law
I've been a cop for most of my life
But in the end, I couldn't even protect my own family
I should have shot and killed Tan Xinde
Then Yanbin wouldn't have died
Uncle Chen, don't blame yourself
No one could have foreseen this
Blame Zhou Mingxian if you must
Zhou Mingxian has been brought to justice
I'm sure your son and granddaughter will rest in peace now
He may have got his just deserts,
but my son and granddaughter...
are never coming back
Uncle Chen...
You have us
Comfort yourself
At least they're at peace now
They wouldn't want to see you like this
All my life, I've believed in just one thing -
being a good cop and upholding justice
Was I wrong after all?
Even if I was wrong, I should be the one bearing the consequences
Why did they have to suffer instead?
Uncle Chen...
You're right
That's why our team needs a cop like you,
fighting shoulder to shoulder with us
To me, you have always been...
and will always be a good cop
We've always trusted you
You know...
What comforts me...
is having colleagues like you who are after my own heart
Thank you for being there for me all this time,
for your unfailing support and trust
Uncle Chen...
Since I joined the force,
you've looked after me as if I were your son
And you've said before -
we've all risked death together
How could we not trust you?
Life must go on
You have us
We'll keep supporting you, encouraging you
Don't worry, ma'am
I won't give up on myself
If I gave up just like that,
I would be letting Yanbin and my granddaughter down
I would be letting you both down
As long as I'm alive,
I will fight shoulder to shoulder with you,
and persevere to the end
We're family
In future, tell us if there's anything
Don't face it alone, okay?
Whatever difficulties you have,
we'll face it together
Thank you
Mum, we're home
Mum?
You're home?
Let me look at you
You're looking much better
I've made all your favourite dishes
A few days in the hospital and I get a treat
I really should do it more often
Listen to you
Will you be serious?
Mum, I'm perfectly serious
I almost caught the guy who attacked you
I know you're a good son, but safety comes first
You know, we were all worried sick,
especially Anni
She saved your life with no thought for herself, or you'd be dead now
Yeah
When she knew you'd gone missing, she was really worried
We went looking for you together
In the ambulance,
she kept squeezing your hand, telling you not to give up
I can tell she still loves you
Can't you give each other another chance?
Mum, you're at it again
Fine, I'll stop
I don't understand you young people
Why did you have to break up?
Listen - Anni saved your life
So be sure to thank her
You must be hungry. I'll get dinner ready
It won't take a minute
Mum, I'll help
If you want to thank me,
just take better care of yourself
Stop being so cocky
You won't always be this lucky
Look - so many people care about you
Think about them if not yourself
Anni
Ma'am...
I was at fault in Uncle Chen's case
I was impulsive
Now I understand that you had me look into him...
so we could clear his name quickly
Like you said,
when we're risking our lives together,
nothing matters more than trust
I've no hard feelings
How's Uncle Chen?
He seems well
But from what I know of him,
he'll be trying to numb himself with work
If he needs any help, let me know
Yes, ma'am. Thank you
Free tomorrow? See you at the old place
Doctor Chen?
My mum's test results are out?
-I'm home -Welcome home
How is Wenjie? Is he all right?
He's been discharged
That's good to hear
Get him to come over for dinner this week
I'll make him some tonic soup
And your dad's having dinner with friends tonight,
so it'll just be the two of us
Go and shower. Dinner will be ready soon
What's the matter? Aren't you feeling well?
Or was work tough today?
Mum...
Tell me honestly
Do you really want me to be with Wenjie very much?
Of course
Wenjie's a good son and a good man
Of course I'd like you to be with him
With him taking care of you,
your dad and I will have no worries
Is that why you pretended to be sick?
What are you talking about?
Doctor Chen's called me
You have high blood pressure
As long as you take your medicine, you'll be fine
It wasn't cervical cancer, like you said
Anni, let me explain
How can you lie about something like this?
I'm sorry
I didn't mean to deceive you
I did it so you could be with Wenjie
I want you to be happy
Mum...
Did you think I'd be happy if you did this?
Did you think...
a relationship made possible by a lie...
would make me happy?
I'm sorry. I was wrong
Mum...
I don't blame you
I just...
I'm just afraid of losing you
When I heard you were sick,
I was so afraid
I was afraid I'd wake up one day...
and you'd be gone
Mum, I was so scared
I can't lose you
Silly girl
I'm here, aren't I?
I promise -
I won't worry you again
I'll get back to work. Call me if you need anything
Thanks
Philip hasn't changed a bit
I asked you out to tell you something
I have something to tell you too
What is it?
You don't have to pretend to be my boyfriend anymore
My mum doesn't have cancer
You're kidding me
I'm sorry
She lied to bring us together
I apologize on her behalf
It's okay. What matters is that she's okay
Don't worry about it
You? You had something to tell me?
It's nothing important
I wanted to thank you for saving me
That's it?
Don't mention it
And another thing
Our class reunion is on tomorrow. Will you come?
Sure, if I'm free
Okay. It's the usual place, at 8
-Will you be going? -I should think so
It's been two years since we last met
When we left school, they said we'd meet every year
But we've all been too busy to get together
Cheers!
So, Jingxiang, why didn't your husband come with you?
We'd have liked to meet him
Yeah
He's busy. I'll bring him the next time
Then you can all meet him
Be sure to
You? Are you married?
No, I'm still single
I'm not as lucky as you. You found Mr Right
Hello! -Anni!
You're all here? Sorry I'm late
You look as good as ever
You too. But you're really thin
You came alone? Where's Wenjie?
We broke up
Thanks
But you've been together so long. Can't believe you broke up
They used to be the badminton club's golden couple
Yeah, what a shame!
I thought you'd get married
Let's not talk about that
How are you guys doing?
Not too bad
-Who's a dad now? -I have two kids
Really? -That's amazing
Sorry I'm late
You're finally here
I had work to do. Sorry!
Hi Jingxiang, it's been a while
Yeah, it has
I'm sorry I couldn't attend your wedding
It's okay, you were busy
I hear you got hitched to a great guy
She did, the lucky girl
Her husband loves her to bits
He wants her to quit her job, stay at home...
and just focus on the kids
You're pregnant?
Don't listen to Lynn
I'm planning to have kids
But I'm not expecting yet
Do your best
Excuse me. It's my husband
She's so lucky. Her husband calls just to check she's okay
Of all of us, Jingxiang's the luckiest
You sound so envious
Enough about her. Drink up!
Cheers!
Hello?
I'm at a class reunion
Could you come home? We have to talk
Okay. I'll be home once the reunion's over
Bye
Anni, what's the matter?
The match is about to start but you haven't changed
I can't find my shorts
How come? Did you look carefully?
I've searched my bag but they're not there
What now? The match is about to start
I don't know. What do I do?
You can wear these
Take them
We've won!
How could you forget to bring your shorts for an important match like this?
20 rounds round the court!
-Coach, could you... -30 rounds!
-Coach, I... -One more word and it's 40 rounds!
Here you go
Thanks
Thanks for lending me your shorts
I'll return them when I've washed them
There's no hurry
You know, you could explain things to the coach
Forget it
It's no big deal
But you've been training so long for this match
How did you know?
I've seen you on the court every day, training
So you're a fan of mine. Seems I'm pretty popular
You're as cocky as they say
-You know who I am? -Of course
You're Liang Wenjie, the cockiest guy on the team
Thanks for the compliment
And you're Zhao Anni, the most ruthless girl on the team
Wenjie
Hello?
Anni? It's Jingxiang
She's in the hospital. Could you come over?
Wenjie
How's Jingxiang?
The doctor's still inside
Doctor
-How is Jingxiang? -She's out of danger
And her husband?
I'm very sorry. We did everything we could
Doctor, the patient's awake but very worked up
Do have a look at her
Doctor!
What's happened to my husband?
I must see him. Let me see him!
I'm sorry
The poison had reached his organs
It was already too late when he got here
It can't be...
You must have made a mistake! You must have!
I'm sorry. We did everything we could
I'm sorry
-Calm down -How could this happen?
Don't think about it
-How could this be? -Jingxiang...
It can't be!
