I've finally found you
You can't get away from me
Hypnosis aims to...
help those with emotional trauma,
as well as those struggling with their past
It unlocks their hearts,
and enable them to start life anew
It's not a tool you use...
to fulfil your own desires
But when Junrong was discovered by Wenjie and you,
not only did he not try to flee,
but he also kept attacking Huixin wildly...
despite your attempts to stop him
I suspect Junrong had been hypnotized
What can I do for you?
Hello. Police
May we look around?
Sure
We'll find our answer right there
Are you the manager?
What can I do for you?
I want to look at last night's CCTV footage
The recording has been erased
You're saying?
In fact, I was looking into it just now
The security guard said an intruder...
deleted all CCTV footage this morning
We've lost our only lead of proving Junrong had been hypnotized
What do we do now?
If Junrong had been hypnotized,
the person who hypnotized him must have been an expert
My university lecturer is back in town
I plan to call on him,
and see if he can give me some leads
Keep me posted
We'll keep in touch
OK
Mister
Your watch
Thanks
This pocket watch means a lot to me
Just as time may heal all wounds,
it may allow pain to be transfixed in our minds
You've shut your heart to others...
because you can't let go of the unhappy past
You've been struggling
You are directionless
You don't know how you are going to overcome it
The only way out would be...
to remove the person Wenjie cares about,
and take her place in his heart
Huixin
Anni? What a surprise
I'm here to take you home
Where's my brother?
He has something on
OK. I'll go get my bag
I'm ready to go
What are you doing?
Come with me
Where are we going?
Keep driving
I need to know which way to go
Turn left up ahead
Where are we now?
Stop your chatter or I'll kill you
Huixin, it's me
I said I'd pick you up at the shop
Where are you?
Call me when you hear this message
Bye
Where are we? What do you want?
If I kill you now, no one will ever find out
What's going on? Is someone using you?
Shut up!
I know that...
you don't want to kill me at all
Wake up!
Anni, I am Yongyan
I'm your friend
If you're trying to save her, don't bother
Huixin is an innocent party
Killing her...
won't assuage the pain in your heart
Do you remember why you became a police officer?
You wanted to uphold justice, and punish the evildoers
Turn back
Anni! Don't open fire
I am Wenjie
You've been hypnotized
You don't even know what you're doing now
Put the gun down
Anni
I'm aware of...
your deep emotional wound
You have a past that haunts you
You appear to be strong and independent,
but you feel lonely and helpless
You're vulnerable, and you long for the one you love deeply...
to love you,
and care for you
You're troubled emotionally...
because you can't let go of the relationship
Remember this?
Someone who meant a lot to you gave it to you
He also made a promise to you
You've been keeping it,
and treasuring it
To you, this thing...
holds...
your most cherished memories
I'm sorry
I've failed to make good my promise...
to care for you all my life
Once cracks surface in the relationship,
it can't go back to what it was
Let our past stay a beautiful memory
Bye
Take care
Anni! Don't take the call
Anni
Don't take the call
Don't take the call!
Fire!
Huixin! Are you OK?
How are you feeling?
What happened?
You were hypnotized
I was hypnotized?
Who had you been talking to?
I was going to my car at the car park
Next...
I can't recall a thing
You must have got hypnotized then
Do you remember the face?
I... I don't remember
Try to recall
It's likely only you've seen the person
It's OK. I am fine now
Let her rest
That's right
She won't be able to tell us anything
We're dealing with a meticulous person
We won't find any clues
Thank goodness you came, or things would have been dire
How did you know that Huixin would be in danger?
I suspected that Junrong had been hypnotized
The culprit might mean Huixin harm
So I drove to the flower shop
But I saw the two of them leaving together
I found it odd
Anni had told me she'd be back at the police station
But I saw Anni holding Huixin hostage
Something was amiss, so I followed their car
Meanwhile, I contacted Wenjie
Dr Guo, thank you
I'm sorry
It's OK. You had been used
The perp tried to kill Huixin by hypnotizing Junrong and Anni
What feud is there between you?
Did you offend someone?
When I was in the States,
I testified against a sex offender
He should still be doing time
Never mind who he is,
he is an expert at hypnosis
Anni has strong willpower,
so she won't succumb to hypnosis easily
Then who can make her succumb?
Among my network of associates,
one person can do it
Who?
Prof Guo, my mentor
He taught me hypnosis
But he's an upright man
When he mentored us,
he'd often remind us to do it with the right intentions
That's why I doubt he was behind it
In any case,
the person wants Huixin dead
Let the police protect you 24/7
No need
Just accept it. Things aren't that simple
I'll feel more assured if you have police protection
Is there any way to prevent being hypnotized?
When you hypnotize someone,
you need to make eye contact,
and seize his or her attention
Once your own will falters,
you'll become an easy target for hypnosis
Stay vigilant at all times
We are up against a cunning murderer
Hello, Prof Guo Zhipeng
I'm Senior Inspector Zhao Anni from Major Crime
We need your assistance in an attempted murder case
Sure
We suspect someone has been hypnotizing people...
to carry out a murder attempt on a lady
Are you linking it to me?
Prof Guo
Between 10 pm and 12 am last night,
where were you and what were you doing?
I was on the campus
At such a late hour?
Yes. I needed to prepare today's lecture
So I stayed back at work
Any alibi?
Yes
I had five students and an assistant with me
If it's possible,
you may verify with them
Sure, we'll do that
Get down to it
Yes, Madam
Hypnosis...
It doesn't just happen with eye contact
Relax
If it were really the case,
I'd just need to make trips to the bank,
and I'd be a rich man
We'll investigate further to prove your innocence
Thank you
Madam
This professor is a tricky one
Hello
Madam
We've talked to the undergraduates and the professor's assistant -
all six of them
They stated that...
the professor was on the campus during that time
Got it, thanks
Arrange for his release
Meanwhile, I'll speak to him
OK -Yes, Madam
Prof Guo
Sorry to keep you waiting
Thanks
It's OK
I just need to be back in time for my class
Prof Guo, I'm very curious
Why the keen interest in hypnosis?
Do you know that on average,
how many wavelengths per second form a person's thought?
No, I don't
Modern science has given us an answer
It is more than one petahertz
At the same time, the energy emitted...
is channelled out of the human body
This greatly helps the hypnosis practitioner...
in reading a person's mind
Can you read me then?
Can I be honest with you?
You are good-looking
But your heart is dark
You appear to be steady
However...
You are unstable
Sorry. Pardon me if I'm mistaken
Your analysis applies to most people
Whether it applies to most people,
the one who knows best...
would be you
If you can't let go of your past,
you needn't be hypnotized;
you've already locked yourself in
Thanks for your sharing, Prof Guo
My colleagues are seeing to the paperwork
You may go back to your class soon
Madam
The past is long gone
Don't hold on to it
Or the one left hurting...
will be you
Let go
Take this cup of water
When it's still and clear,
no one can break into your heart
Love yourself. That's how you may repay your parents
Huixin
Are you hungry? Let me cook you some noodles
No, I'm not hungry. Thanks
What about some fruit?
I bought apples yesterday. Let me cut one for you
It's OK, Mum
Don't fuss over me. Get some rest
Mum, Huixin is not hungry
So stop asking her
She may get hungry afterwards
Are you bored? Looking for something to do?
No
Stop denying it
You repeated some of the household chores
Mum, how about this?
Go back to the shop
With Bro around, I'll be fine
Better not
What if the crook shows up?
I should stick around and protect you
I'll be safe. Police officers are standing guard outside
I'll get the door
Sit. I'll get the door
Ladies, sit down. I'll get it
I'll go take a look
Hi -Hi
Auntie
Is everything OK?
With me around, she'll be OK
I have my brother to protect me
The police will also do their part
So you needn't worry
How is Junrong?
You're worried about him?
I believe he's innocent, so go easy on him
He's been posted bail
That's great
OK. Thank you
Home is still the best
You won't be so lucky each time
Let's see if you'll make trouble again
Dad, I had nothing to do with it
You may check with Bro
I agree with Junrong
The police found out that...
he had nothing to do with the case
So they released him
I'm glad to hear that. Toe the line
Tell Yun to start dinner
Dad, are you OK?
What is it?
We've just had dinner outside
You told Yun not to cook dinner
Did I?
I didn't like the food at the restaurant
I'm feeling a bit hungry now
I'll ask Yun to cook you some noodles
Yun
It's OK. I don't want any food
Where's my handphone?
Could I have left it at the restaurant?
Dad, your handphone is over there
Dad
I'm getting old and forgetful
Bro, let's buy ginkgo nuts for Dad. They're good for the brain
Sure
I've been getting forgetful
I would forget that I'd just taken dinner
I also tend to repeat my words
Is my dementia worsening?
It's showing signs of deterioration
Will I forget my closest kin one day?
Doctor, is there a cure for it?
It doesn't matter how costly the medicine is
Medication will only slow down the deterioration
It can't reverse existing dementia
I've read your report. The prognosis isn't good
Medication seems to have limited effects for your condition
What should I do now?
Take care of the important matters soon
Chief, the lawyer is here
Sit
Mr Hong, I've done as you instructed
As per your instruction,
I've transferred all your assets to Junrong,
including several properties, companies and shares
What about Yongyan?
You don't intend to leave anything for him?
He's your son, too
My mind is made up. Just follow my instructions
All right
Madam
The Interpol gave us this info about Prof Guo
A few years ago, his son...
was given a life term for rape
Liang Huixin was the eyewitness who testified against him
That makes Prof Guo a suspect
Killing Liang Huixin to avenge his son would be his motive
But he has very strong alibis
We can't name him as a suspect solely because he has a motive
Madam
After two days of shadowing Prof Guo, I find nothing suspicious
He keeps to a regular daily schedule
Other than giving lectures at the university,
he stays in his hotel room
Doesn't he meet anyone?
He only meets with the undergraduates and fellow professors
Teaching has brought him to this country
He has a small social circle. Nothing suspicious going on
Miss, care to buy us a drink?
Come on!
The latecomer should be buying
I warned you against teasing her. She's in a bad mood today
Is it that obvious?
Your face says it all
What happened today?
Don't you know her by now?
She's upset that she can't crack a case
He knows me best
We found out that Prof Guo has a motive for murder
But he has six alibis
That many?
Could they all be lying?
Unlikely. All six statements concur
Even the small details are in tandem
If Prof Guo was the mastermind,
how did he do it?
Maybe you're being subjective now
Dr Guo, what's your view?
Perhaps Prof Guo is an innocent party
We've wronged him
You're being biased
You're the biased one
He's your mentor, so you'll take his side
Precisely because he's my mentor,
I know him very well
He's not one to use hypnosis to commit evil
Other than him, who else has such exceptional hypnotic ability?
You?
That's possible. How come you don't suspect me?
Impossible
You two share great chemistry
Thanks for your trust in me
Cheers
Is it possible that a hypnosis expert...
can hypnotize a group of persons?
You mean mass hypnosis?
In theory, that is possible
But I've not come across any such case
Do you think Prof Guo can do that?
I wouldn't say no
Prof Guo hypnotized the six alibis at one go?
It started at 10 pm on 7 June
This is it
Thank you
Prof Guo wasn't lying. He was having a class
Let's reserve our comment for now
Fast forward that scene
Stop
Play
What's the time now?
11.03 pm
I find nothing wrong with the video
Where is the problem?
Ziliang
You've been watching the video. Is your neck aching now?
A little
This scene lasted for about an hour
His students just kept writing
His assistant kept pacing up and down
Don't we tire from staying in the same posture?
We all have different emotional hurts
Therefore, hypnosis works differently for different people
When a patient is in a state of excitement or agitation,
halt the hypnosis right away
Prof Guo, is it possible to hypnotize a few persons at one time?
She's talking about mass hypnosis
Regarding this...
It's an absolute possibility
Prof Guo, sorry to interrupt your class
Please come back to the station with us
What's going on?
You released me the other day...
because I had alibis
We watched the faculty's CCTV footage
All six students and the assistant...
had been hypnotized
Only you are capable of doing that
You are under arrest. Please co-operate with us
Take him to the car
Yes, Madam. Move it
Sir
We watched the CCTV footage, and found him highly suspicious
We're bringing Guo Zhipeng back to the station
The job of a police officer...
is certainly not easy
You have my utmost admiration
You work hard...
to maintain law and order
But it goes unappreciated most times
Your work commitments may even...
lead to misunderstandings with your family
Not many people see the...
huge amount of sacrifices you make...
to uphold justice
Yes, Sir
Madam
I've got hold of the CCTV records and info about Prof Guo
Let's head back to the station
Uncle Chen, why did you get out of the car?
Who's staying with Prof Guo?
Uncle Chen
Ziliang
You've been hypnotized. Put down your guns
No matter what you say to them now,
they won't hear you
Surely you don't wish for any one of them to get hurt?
Thank you
Jason, remove his cuffs
They'll regain their senses soon
They'll be fine
I'm sorry, Madam
I don't know what I was doing
I'm at fault too
Were I more careful, he couldn't have hypnotized us
You guys are not to blame
I'm just glad that none of us is hurt
That was the first time I ever got hypnotized
Prof Guo is a slippery one
He hypnotized Uncle Chen and me
But we may conclude that...
Prof Guo is capable of mass hypnosis
His alibis are no longer credible
We're dealing with a dangerous character
We must stop him from using hypnosis as a tool
Issue a warrant for arrest islandwide
Yes, Madam
Wenjie
We have a situation
What about Ziliang?
Good to know he's OK
So far so good for us here
My mum and I have been keeping Huixin company at home
Police officers are outside our place
Prof Guo won't be able to hurt her
Be careful
OK
Bro, what is it?
Prof Guo has escaped. He's now a wanted man
Anni advised that you lie low at home
I can't believe this
Don't worry. I'm sure Prof Guo will be arrested soon
I hope so
Keep this from Mum or she'll be worried
I will
Dad
How did you know where to find me?
Uncle Chen told me
Yongyan cares about you
He called me to ask where you'd be
Had your dinner?
Dad, I came to check something with you
What is it?
Dad, why are you keeping something so major from me?
I am a doctor
I can tell when you're unwell
You know about it?
I've met with the doctor-in-charge
You shouldn't have kept it from us
I'm an old man now
I've seen my fair share of storms in life
I'll take things as they come
But...
I'm most worried about Junrong
If anything should happen to me,
please take care of him
Keep my illness from him
Rest assured I know what to do
Dad
Take it easy. Don't brood over things
Hello
Yongyan
Prof Guo?
Can we meet?
I need to speak to you in person
Prof Guo
I'm here
Prof Guo
Where are you?
I'm here
Yongyan
Prof Guo
What's going on?
Why did you escape?
Why did you give a false statement?
Prof Guo, you used to exhort that...
we must have good intentions when we practise hypnosis
We must never use hypnosis for evil
The man I know would never do that
I still hold fast to that conviction
Not once have I wavered
Are you caught in a bind or something?
Stop asking
You know who the murderer is, don't you?
What you're doing now...
is to distract the police
You're protecting the culprit
Don't go on anymore
I won't tell you a thing
Prof Guo
Let me in on your troubles
I will help you
You can't
Let me bear the consequences alone
Did you tip the police off?
Prof Guo, I only wanted to help you
Guo Zhipeng, there's no escape for you
Anni, Prof Guo is innocent
Relax. I won't try to flee
Give me some time
Once I've taken care of affairs,
I'll turn up at the police station
Prof Guo!
Prof Guo
Doctor, how is the patient?
He's out of danger
But he's still unconscious
His pelvis and legs have suffered serious fractures
Doctor, you must help him
Don't worry. I'll do my best
Thank you
Thanks
It's all my fault
If it wasn't for me,
Prof Guo wouldn't have met with the accident
Don't blame yourself. He chose this path
Prof Guo isn't the murderer. He's innocent
Then why did he flee upon seeing me?
He must have his reasons
Are you shielding him...
because he is your mentor?
In any case, I still believe Prof Guo
Come in
Anni called. Prof Guo has been arrested
Really?
That's great
I'll return to the shop tomorrow
The police haven't ascertained that Prof Guo is the murderer
I'd rather you stayed at home for now
I've been staying at home for the past few days
I'm bored stiff
Mum and you have to take turns to keep me company, too
What's wrong? Are you worried?
He's been arrested, so I'll be fine
All right
But I've to meet a client tomorrow morning
I won't be able to go with you
No problem
I have police protection
Just be careful
Call me if anything crops up, OK?
Turn in for the night
Don't read too late into the night
OK
Good night -Good night
When will you find yourself a girlfriend as pretty as her?
Uncle Chen, you jolly well know that...
we work irregular hours while we're on a case
Which girl would want that?
Police officers are human beings too
We also need to go on dates
Don't follow in Madam's footsteps
Her career cost her her love life
Madam is a good woman
Liang Wenjie is to blame. He didn't cherish her
Then what about you?
What about me?
I can still see things clearly
I am aware of what's going on around me
Don't keep things to yourself
Until you articulate it, she'll never guess how you feel
But you already know nothing would come out of it,
so what's the point?
Young man,
are you throwing in the towel even before you try?
Shall I lend you a hand?
Uncle Chen
You needn't be with the one you love
So long as she's doing fine,
I'll be content
Have some faith in yourself. I know you have it in you
Let me say the same of you
Stop worrying about me. Spare some thought for yourself
Me?
Prof Guo is still in a coma
The murderer is actually someone else
I've sent Uncle Chen and Jason to protect Liang Huixin
Yes, Sir. I'll step on it
Madam, here's an update from the Interpol
Besides his son, Brian,
Prof Guo has an illegitimate son called Dick
He fathered Dick with his mistress
He'd never lived with Prof Guo
Here's the file
What other leads have you got?
They've been living in the States
Brian and Dick may be half-brothers,
but they are very close
Since Brian was sentenced to prison,
Dick has disappeared
Ziliang, Liang Huixin may be in danger
Send Dick's photo to Jason
Tell him to look out for this man
Yes, Madam
Bring me some baby's breath
OK
Freeze! -Police! Freeze!
Put down the scissors
Sirs, what is going on?
Why did you come in armed with the pair of scissors?
I just wanted to ask the boss...
if she could show me how to trim flowers
Uncle Chen, he's not the one
Go!
Boss, what happened?
Everything's fine
I'm sorry about the misunderstanding
It's OK. You were trying to protect me
Please beware of this man
Who is he?
He is Prof Guo's illegitimate son
We believe he was behind everything
He's seeking you out to avenge his brother
Uncle Chen and I will be protecting you
Do be extra careful, too
We'll keep surveillance outside your shop
We won't get in your way
Thank you
Hello
Are you the owner?
Yes, I am
I've just got here. My staff will be here soon
Please take a seat inside
Great
I've something to tell you
It concerns your daughter
My daughter?
Yes, Mum?
Sure. Call me if you've got news
Bye
Have something to eat. I'll take over
I'm not hungry, Uncle Chen
Just eat
How are things?
Madam
Everything's OK. She's not left the shop
Penny
You're closed for the day? -Yes
Where's your boss?
Something urgent cropped up
She left via the back door 30 minutes ago
Did she say where she was going?
No
Mum!
Mum, where are you?
Mum!
Who are you?
What have you done to my mum?
You're finally here
Why are you hurting her?
I'm hurting her?
What about you?
So you could hurt my brother, eh?
Who are you?
A year ago, you testified against a rapist in the States
He is my brother
He was innocent
You wronged him!
I did not
You did!
Thanks to you,
a kindhearted guy has been given a life term
You could fool the world, but you can't fool me
You look pure,
but you have an evil heart
Just how many dark secrets do you harbour?
How many more victims do you want to claim?!
You have to make amends for your mistake
You're right
I must make it up to you
That's right
I should redeem myself
Correct
If you want to redeem yourself,
jump down from here
That will atone for all your sins
I need to redeem myself
I should
I made a mistake
I need to redeem myself
I made a mistake
I need to redeem myself
Are you sure this is the place?
Her GPS location shows she's here
I'm not sure which storey though
Let's check it out
Aren't you going to atone for your sin?
Go on, jump down
Jump down!
Why aren't you taking the plunge?
Don't you want to atone for your sin?
Jump down. Go on!
Hello! Have you seen this lady...
who's about this tall and has wavy hair?
She's in her 20s, very fair,
and very pretty
People go in and out of here every day
I can't remember every face
Do you recognize her?
Oh yes!
When I was patrolling the rooftop,
she knocked into me
Thanks! -Thank you
