I know this is quite abrupt,
but I understand how you feel
Give me a chance
Give yourself a chance, too
Xuezhi and I grew up in an orphanage. We're as close as sisters
Nobody is to bully her
Feng Xuezhi was an abandoned child
She was taken to the orphanage at one,
and had stayed there since
Why did you lie to me?
I only wanted to help you
What were you trying to help?
Please believe me...!
Believe me!
You don't remember a thing?
No
What happened?
What's the matter with you? You're behaving strangely
I don't know
Everything's fine
Do you still have a headache?
What did the doctor say? Is her condition serious?
No. Just that she's undernourished
There are also her old ailments. That's why she passed out
You must be trying to save money
That's why you're not eating well
From today on,
I'm going to watch your diet
I want porridge, Mum
Sure. How about fish porridge?
It's still early. I'll go to the market to buy fish
Then I'll come back with the porridge
Got to go
Bye-bye -Bye
Is my condition very bad?
I can tell you're keeping something from us
There's a growth in your brain
What?
Is it malignant?
The doctor needs more tests to find out
No wonder I keep having headaches
I should have guessed it
Keep this from Mum. Don't make her worry
Don't think you can have it your way. It's payback time
Jason
Madam
The new shops here aren't even open for business yet
The victim is a foreign woman
A resident nearby found the body and filed a report
I've taken his statement
Nothing suspicious about it
Check the victim's background
Yes, Madam
Hi, Vivian
She's at most 25?
So young and pretty. I wonder who she made enemies with
Exactly
Preliminary investigations show she was strangled to death by this fishing wire
Time of death is about 30 hours ago
I figure the murderer is a man with a lot of strength
He strangled the victim from behind till she stopped breathing
Any other wounds on the body?
No other visible wounds
But I can only give you the details after the autopsy
Madam, I found a bag
There's only a charger and some accessories inside
The notebook is gone
Could the murderer have taken it?
The victim, Lin Shanshan, aka Sandy Lim,
is an American-Chinese, 25
She came to Singapore a week ago
She had no kith and kin here
I believe she was here for a holiday
She had been hanging out at these few pubs
She had no company
The cause of death conforms with the preliminary findings
She was strangled to death by a wire
The only difference is,
I found pollen under the victim's nails
It's a type of flower called lilium longiflorum
Another name for it is Easter lily. It's hardly available on the market
Is it grown locally?
Our climate is unfavourable for its growth
It's usually imported
Jason, find out from the Importers Association...
the florists which import this type of flower
Yes, Madam
Uncle Chen, Michael
Check out the pubs she visited
Find out who she had contact with
Yes, Madam
I'll have lunch with you -OK
Madam, here's the call and message logs
She contacted quite a few people here
Most of them were guys
Any suspicious characters?
I'm still checking
The victim was putting up at a small hotel
Here's the CCTV footage at the hotel
Play it -Yes, Madam
Did you know Sandy?
Yes, I did
We met on a social networking site
We'd been together for some time
She came back to prepare for our wedding
Do you know if Sandy had other boyfriends?
She didn't have other boyfriends
She said she loved me,
and would be my wife forever
She really said that?
Sandy is mine! I'm her husband
She asked me to get ready the money for our wedding,
and I did
Hello, I'm Senior Inspector Zhao Anni from Major Crime Division
This is my colleague
We're investigating Sandy's murder
Let me get my manager
Hello, Sir, two police officers are here
They're the ones, Sir
Hello -Hello, Madam
What can I do for you?
We have a few questions for you
Have you seen these three men before?
These three men?
Sorry, I don't recall
This is important to us. Please think again
Sir, all our hotel guests have to register
But their friends come and go
I really can't recall. Sorry
Who was on the night shift on June 3?
June 3?
Alfred, were you on the night shift on June 3?
Yes
Did you see these three men calling on Sandy?
I remember this guy. He was here
But after he left,
a woman came
Do you remember what she looks like?
No
Did the doctor say when I could be discharged?
No. Be patient
Cheer up. I'll go get some food
Where are you going? -I'm getting some food
Hello -Anni
How are you feeling? -Much better
Want some fruit?
Thanks
Let me. Get the plates and tissues
Would you like some? -Later
The victim was from California
She has been identified as Lin Shanshan, aka Sandy Lim
Investigation is underway as foul play is suspected
The police urge the public who may have any leads...
to come forward
What's the matter?
She was a friend of mine in the States
What happened?
We're still investigating
Did you see her recently?
She came to my shop a few days ago
What was the purpose of her visit?
She said she was looking a friend up
And then?
That's all I know
Don't work too hard, Superwoman. Have lots of water and rest. Miss you
I don't believe this
Retribution is near. Enjoy your last days!
Have you sent it to me?
Madam
Are you OK, Madam?
My throat feels a little scratchy
Have you seen a doctor? -No
I'll go to bed early tonight
What did you find out?
Madam, according to the info from the American police,
Sandy Lim was a female love rat
She was also a member of a fraud syndicate in America
No wonder she was twisting the three guys around her little finger
Do you think...
some guy whom she'd cheated...
killed her for revenge?
I won't rule that possibility out
But all the people she contacted have an alibi
We might have missed someone out
Madam, I've checked the source of the Easter lily
Only two flower shops have imported it in recent months
And we happen to know one of them
What's up?
Not feeling well? -It's cold
We discovered something while investigating Sandy's case
I suspect Huixin is keeping something from us
She might be linked to Sandy's death
Surely not?
Easter lily pollen was found on Sandy
Only two flower shops imported this flower
One of them was Huixin's
Maybe it was the other florist's Sandy went to
Or maybe someone gave her the flowers
I won't rule that out
But I have my doubts
The CCTV footage at the hotel showed...
Sandy meeting up with a woman on the day of the murder
The woman had the same build as Huixin
-Same build? It's probably a coincidence -Hear me out
Other than that,
the design and colour of her handbag was the same as Huixin's
That's too much of a coincidence
If Huixin denies having met up with Sandy,
then she has a guilty conscience
What's the matter?
Is there something you know?
I found out recently that Huixin is an imposter
Come again?
Her real name is Feng Xuezhi
What is this all about?
I don't know
But I think she denies having seen Sandy...
to hide her true identity
I don't know why she posed as Huixin
Why didn't you tell me sooner?
I didn't want to trouble you with my domestic affairs
I was going to speak to Sandy, but she...
She was a female love rat
She had a criminal record of fraud and theft in America
You think they're in cahoots?
My family isn't rich
What does she stand to gain?
She really cares about my mum
I don't know her motive,
or her relationship with Huixin
Question her directly
No -Why not?
She mustn't be agitated,
or her life will be in danger
I can only...
find out the truth without upsetting her
What did the doctor say?
If nothing goes wrong,
you can be discharged in a few days
Great
You look troubled
Are you worried about me?
No
Don't be too upset about Sandy's death
How long have you known each other?
Since high school days, about 7, 8 years
Which school did you go to?
Los Alamitos High School
Why do you ask?
Just curious
Did you keep in touch after you left school?
No. She dropped out of school later
We lost contact after that
I was thinking of catching up with her
Never did I expect...
Come on, you just got well
Don't be sad
Lie down and rest
I'll go and get some food
Hello, it's me
Check something for me
Find out whether Feng Xuezhi went to Los Alamitos High School,
and her relationship with Sandy Lim
I need to know
OK
It may be just a mild cold, but still, we should be careful
I'll go with you to the clinic tomorrow
No need
You and Dad are going to Malacca to attend a wedding banquet
That's what worries me
There's nobody around to look after you
I'm not a kid. I can take care of myself
Sure?
Silly
Expecting a message?
Are you seeing that shrink?
Got over Wenjie already?
What do you think?
Let me tell you a secret
Your dad wasn't the man...
I loved initially
Serious?
Before I met him,
I had a boyfriend whom I'd been seeing for years
But we weren't meant to be
Then, I met your dad
We became friends
As I got to know him better,
I began to see his strengths
So I accepted him,
and we've stayed together since
So you must learn to let go sometimes
Only then will you find happiness
I didn't know you were highly sought-after
I didn't tell you my past so that you may tease me
I know
You're asking me not to be so stubborn
Glad you know that
No matter what your decision is, you have our support
But it's not a bad idea to have a doctor in the family
You have a mental illness?
It's rather late
You need to get up early tomorrow. Turn in
You, too -Good night
Come and have breakfast
Here you go
Breakfast for us?
Soy bean milk
Not for you -Who is it for then?
Of course it's not for you
He bought it specially for someone special
Uncle Chen
Madam?
I got breakfast for everyone
Madam isn't feeling well
So I bought dough fritters and soy bean milk. Any problem?
But we only have dough fritters. What about soy bean milk?
OK...
Don't bother to go in
Madam just called. She isn't coming in today
Soy bean milk
Thank you
We're out. Just heat up the food in the fridge. Take care -Mum
When did you come back? You didn't tell me at all
I came back this morning
How did you know I was at home?
I went straight to your office the minute I got off the plane
Jason told me you were on sick leave
I'd wanted to give you a surprise
But it turned out the other way
I didn't expect you to come at all
Did you just get up?
I've cooked some porridge
Come on in
How's the porridge?
So-so
It'd been some time since I last cooked
I was afraid you might not like it
Thank goodness you didn't complain about it
I had no reason to complain
If you like it,
I'll make breakfast for you every day
What else can you cook?
Anything that you want to eat
I want soy bean milk and dough fritters
I'll go buy them for you
I love unhealthy stuff when I'm unwell
Your fever is almost gone
Have more rest and you'll recover
I've something else to see to
Thanks for the breakfast
I'll return this to you next time
Don't mention it. I'm just doing my part
No need to see me off. Finish the food
Take your meds after that and go to bed
I'll visit you later if I have time
If anything happens, call me
I'll rush over right away
OK... You're such a nag
Remember to take your meds
I'm off
Bye -Bye
Turn in early since you're unwell
Where's Anni?
She isn't feeling well
Beer, please
She's a bit under the weather today
But she's better after taking the meds
She told me it was a mild cold
You don't seem to care much about her
Come on, I'm not a heartless guy
Tell me
Have you got over Anni?
Of course. We broke up so long ago
What a strange question to ask
Good
Don't tell me...
Yes, I'm fond of Anni
You don't say
I want to woo her
Go ahead. Why ask me?
We're good friends
I should let you know my intention
You have my blessings
Thanks
Cheers
You're back, Dr Koo
Thanks for the hard work
Here are some products I bought from overseas
Thanks
Did anything happen while I was away?
No
But Wu Ke'er called every now and then
I could barely stand it
I heard my name being mentioned
Were you speaking ill of me?
No
You're back at last, Yongyan
You don't have an appointment today, Miss Wu
Dr Koo wasn't around the last few times I came
Since he's back, can I book an appointment for today?
But all the slots have been filled up
Please?
What time is my next appointment? -3
There's time. Slot her in
I don't know why,
but when you weren't around, despite having taken my meds,
I was still in low spirits
I've assessed your condition
So long as you maintain a regular lifestyle,
you need not come back for follow-ups
I have to, or I might have a relapse
I've just realized that...
you're the best medicine I can have
Whenever I see you,
my depression turns into exaltation
You're too dependent on me
Only you can cure yourself
But you're the only one who can help me
I rely on you because you're my psychiatrist
You've that kind of mindset because of your anxiety
When a person is drifting at sea,
the first thing he'd do is cling on to something buoyant
The same applies to you
You regard me as a pillar of strength
It's not love
What's more,
a psychiatrist must not be romantically involved with any of his patients
If I'm no longer a patient,
will I stand a chance?
I'm really fond of you, Yongyan
I feel something special for you
But I've fallen for someone else
Sure, you haven't got over your fiancée
No
You know her, too
Who is it?
Anni -Anni?
I don't believe you
You told me you couldn't accept me...
because you couldn't get over your fiancée
And now you're telling me you fancy Anni
Just what is the truth?
I can't control my feelings
So why did you reject me?
Have you confessed your love to Anni?
How do you know she'll accept you?
Even if she doesn't,
it's still not possible between us
We're not right for each other. I don't want to hurt you
Won't you give me a chance?
Why waste your time when you know nothing will come out of it?
I appreciate all that you've done for me
It's love I want, not sympathy
He wouldn't even try to accept me
Am I that lousy?
Feeling lonely, miss?
Buzz off. Leave me alone
I bet you've been dumped
Don't worry, we'll keep you company and make you happy
Watch your tongue!
Don't be shy. We all have our needs
You wretch!
Scram!
Sorry
Why blow your top?
Got ditched?
Hey, don't cry
People might think I'm bullying you
Hush
What's the point of crying?
Scream your head off if you aren't happy
Don't bottle it up
Follow me
Get it off your chest and you'll be all right
So juvenile
Look who's talking
You didn't even know such a simple way to let off steam
What if it doesn't work?
Try it. Don't jump to conclusions yet
No
Guo Yongyan, you're a cad!
Come again? Who's a cad?
Guo Yongyan! He's a cad!
What's so funny?
What a coincidence
The cad happens to be my brother
He's your brother?
Just my luck!
What did my brother do?
Next time...
From now on, don't ever mention his name again!
OK...
Are you appeased now that you've got it off your chest?
If cooling down were so easy,
there would be no war in this world
Women are scary
You just don't know what love is
I do, OK?
Tell me what love is then
We had the same fate
I was also rejected by my love
But unlike you,
I don't hate her or get angry with her
I'm content so long as she's happy
You expect me to sacrifice my happiness for my love?
No way
I'm not that noble
Let's go
Thank goodness you aren't my love
Where is everybody?
They're out working on a case. I'm sorting out something
The files you need tomorrow -Thanks
You'll have your retribution today. Just you wait!
What's the matter?
I keep receiving emails like this one
I'll find out who the sender is
Don't bother. I guess it's just a prank
He wouldn't dare hurt me
Better check it out -No need
What are you looking for?
Did I leave something behind?
What a muddlehead you are
Don't get me started
I asked you to give me a hand,
but you were playing chess
There you go again
What? -Let's not start arguing
What did you leave behind?
Pork belly
Look carefully
Are you all right?
I've sprained my wrist!
Hey you! Are you trying to kill us?
Don't say anymore. Take me to hospital
OK... Careful
Walk slowly
Watch your way
I can walk on my own. It's my wrist that's injured, not my legs
Dad, Mum, how are you?
I'm fine
Relax, we're all right
Your mum only suffered a superficial injury
I'm glad it wasn't a sprain
What happened?
We were on our way home from the market
We started arguing as we realized we'd left something behind
Then a flower pot fell from a flat
I'm glad we argued
Had I taken another step forward, the flower pot would have landed on my head
I'm not sure if it's a blessing or a curse
The flower pot had to fall just when we were passing by
We haven't done anything wicked. Surely it wasn't retribution?
You'll have your retribution today. Just you wait!
Retribution is near. Enjoy your last days!
What's the matter?
Nothing's the matter
I'll drive you home
Careful. Does it hurt? -No
I'll be right over
Never mind, we'll go home on our own
Get on with your work
It's all right. Just go
Be careful
Call me when you're home
Madam
Madam -What do we have?
The victim is a psychiatrist at this clinic,
Vincent Koh, 43
His assistant discovered his body
Why are you so late, Madam?
My parents had a small accident
Then I was caught in a jam
Are they all right? -Yes
The time of death?
Between 10 pm and midnight last night
Look at this
Fishing wire? -Yes
He was strangled to death by the wire
The MO was the same as Sandy's case
Come in
The call and message logs of Vincent Koh, and a list of his patients
I've ruled out the unlikely ones as you instructed
This guy looks familiar
Have I seen him somewhere before?
That case...
I'm Senior Inspector Zhao Anni from Major Crime Division
This is my colleague
We're investigating Sandy's murder
Let me get my manager
I saw him at the hotel where Sandy was putting up at
He was manning the reception counter,
and he wore glasses
Could he be linked to Sandy's death?
Very likely
Go with Michael to bring him back
Yes, Madam
Jason, come to my office with Uncle Chen
We're home, Mum
Mum!
You've been discharged at last
I'm so glad
Tired? -Not really
Go to your room and lie down
It's OK, I'll just sit on the sofa
I'm cooking your favourite - steamed dumplings
You are? Great! I missed your cooking so much
I knew you were going to say that
So I already prepared everything
Thanks
You're showing favouritism, Mum
It's only natural
All right, you win
You should give in to your sister
Have a chat
I'll get you some soup
I'll give you a hand -No need
How's business at the flower shop?
So-so. I guess it's because you weren't around
I'll go back to work tomorrow then
Stay at home and rest for a few more days
Leave the shop to me
Focus on getting well first
Madam, we've spoken to Vincent Koh's staff
They all said he was a nice man
He was polite to everyone,
and had no enemies
The prime suspect is currently Alfred
He was the last person Vincent spoke to on the phone
He also called him many times
That's not all, he was working at the hotel Sandy was putting up at
It's too much of a coincidence
He suffers from depression and is prone to violence
So if he's really the murderer,
I doubt Ziliang and Michael will find him at the hotel
Found him?
The hotel manager says Alfred hasn't come to work for days
He hasn't been able to contact him either
Just as I expected. Thanks
Get ready. We'll go to his place
Want some more? -No
Let me put the bowls in the kitchen -Thanks
One more bowl for me, Mum!
So what if you have a new identity?
I know everything about you, including your relationship with Sandy
Who are you?
You don't have to know. If you don't want to be found out, bring me 50K now
If you don't want to be found out, bring me 50K now
Police! Please open the door, Alfred!
Open the door or we'll break it down
All clear?
Clear, Madam
Clear. I found something
Call HQ, Jason
We must find Alfred. He's a dangerous man
Yes, Madam
Where's the money?
Sorry, I don't have so much money
How dare you come empty-handed
I might just expose your relationship with Sandy!
Rest assured I'll raise the money
The nerve of you to make a fool of me!
That's not my intention
I'll give you the money once I raise it
Give me the notebook
It's very important to me
You're having me on, just like Sandy
All the women in this world are liars
Whoever lies to me has to die!
Slut!
You're going nowhere!
Let go...
How dare you lie to me!
Go to hell!
He just appeared out of nowhere!
Call an ambulance! -OK
Hello, I want to make a report. There's been a car accident
Alfred!
Did you kill Sandy? -Yes
Why did you kill her?
She was a cheat. They were all bad
What were you doing with Liang Huixin?
The notebook contained their secret
What?
You can't go in, Madam
We're done
Why did you go to such a deserted place to meet that man?
Tell me your problem
I might be able to help
Say something
I...
Huixin!
Mum
What happened to you?
Don't worry, the doctor says I'm all right
But your injury looks serious
Does it hurt? -Not anymore
Who was that man? Why did he hurt Huixin?
I've no idea
Why is my child so unlucky?
Misfortune keeps befalling you
Don't worry, Mum. I really am fine
Auntie. Are you guys all right?
How's the man who injured Huixin?
He died from excessive bleeding
He's dead?
Before he died, he confessed to...
killing Sandy
Huixin, what was your relationship with Alfred?
Why did you meet up with him?
I don't know him
He'd called me and claimed he was a friend of Sandy's
He said he wanted to pass me something which belonged to Sandy
Without suspecting a thing, I went to see him
What happened after that?
He was lying. He had nothing for me
He started assaulting me
Why did he do that?
I don't know
But... -I really don't know
No more questions, please
She's tired. She needs to rest
Come back another day
Sorry, Auntie
I was only trying to find out more
I'll come back another day. Have a good rest
Thanks
I'll walk you out
What did Alfred tell you?
He told me we'd find Huixin's secret in Sandy's notebook
If we find the notebook, we'll know the secret
Did he use the notebook to lure Huixin out?
I believe so
But we didn't find the notebook after combing the entire area
Did you see it when you tussled with Alfred?
No
When I got there, he was already attacking Huixin
Could it have dropped somewhere?
The situation was desperate
I didn't look around
Where could it have gone?
Maybe Alfred was trying to mislead you
I don't see why he'd do that
Could the missing notebook...
have to do with the party concerned?
You're suspicious of Huixin?
She's the only suspect
Her background is dubious
She also passed herself off as your sis
No way
What makes you so sure?
She isn't the sort
You're letting your heart rule your head
Am I?
I beg to differ
You may not wish to admit it,
but there's only one explanation for all this
What is it?
You've fallen for her
