She knows you're not Huixin
She also knows the real Huixin is dead
Doesn't she blame me? I caused Huixin's death
That was why I got close to Zhao Anni
I want to use her to achieve my goals
Once I earn her trust,
I'll know the progress of the police investigation
Everything happened because of him
He must've felt guilty,
so he took me in
They set fire to and killed my family!
They have to pay for this!
Sorry, I was caught in a jam
A drink?
No, I'm meeting someone later
What is it?
Any progress on the Coco murder case?
You're still following this case?
Any new leads?
Investigations are ongoing, but no new leads yet
Did you look into the questions I'd raised?
You still suspect Yongyan?
I just want to find out the truth
I've already told you...
Yongyan had nothing to do with this case
He had no motive to kill
OK
Did you check Coco's mobile?
We didn't find her mobile at the crime scene
You don't find it odd that her phone's suddenly missing?
What are you trying to say?
I believe the killer took the mobile 'cause he was afraid...
its contents would be exposed
You don't know that for sure
Don't let your paranoia get the better of you
I can assure you we'll do our best, OK?
Anything else?
Nothing? I must run. Bye
Amy
Mr Liang -Hi
Are you here to see Dr Koo? -Yes
He's just left
Oh, he called to say he'd be coming back
Why don't you go first? I can wait inside
All right. Bye -Bye
How should I know?
Mister?
We're closing
Are you drunk? Want me to call a cab?
What am I doing here?
You walked into here alone
You threw some money on the bar and asked for a bottle of brandy
Then, you quaffed glass after glass of brandy
Did I really drink that much?
I've worked here for many years,
but it was the first time I'd seen anyone down drinks like you
Where did you go last night? Your phone was turned off
I'd waited for you all night
Mum...
Did you go drinking?
I don't know what happened
When I woke up, I found myself in a pub
Did you have to get yourself so drunk?
You reek of alcohol
Go and shower
Come on, get up
Sit
What's this about?
I have a meeting later
It's about Yongyan
Are you going to smear him again?
Look, I...
I don't know what you have against him
I think he's a great guy,
and very sweet to me
Please hear me out first
I've thought this through
My suspicions of Yongyan...
were perhaps a product of my imagination
What did you say?
You were right - Yongyan's your boyfriend
He has no reason to hurt you
I was wrong to suspect him
You really think so?
What made you change your stand?
Wenjie
You asked Anni out too?
I called her. Have a seat
What's going on?
Yongyan, I owe you an apology
An apology?
I'm sorry, but I'd suspected you...
'cause I was jealous of you and Anni
But I've figured it out
I wish you both well. I'll punish myself. Cheers
He can't hold his drink
That's enough. I'm happy that you believe I'm innocent
Let's forget what happened
That's a relief
Let's order some food
I'm buying
Order whatever you like
I need to see to something. Enjoy your meal
What's wrong?
You've looked preoccupied since the meal
I found Wenjie very weird
He was?
You don't think so?
He did a one-eighty
He'd been so sure you were connected to Coco's death
But he completely changed his tune today
Wenjie is a smart man
He knew he'd been wrong about me
It's normal that he apologized
There was just something weird about him
You'd rather he continued to hold the wrong idea about me?
Of course not
Stop imagining things then
I'm going back to work
I'll call you later
Bye -Bye
Have you been taking your meds?
Yes
I'm sorry, it's been hard on you
Once I've settled everything,
we can live the life we want
Why don't we leave now?
I don't care where we go
You know...
Every night when I close my eyes,
I keep wondering...
if you'll be arrested by the police
I fear something may happen to you
Yongyan
Stop now, all right?
I'm so near...
So near now...
I can almost detect... the sweet smell of revenge
After you get down,
go into the pub and order a bottle of brandy
Then, you will finish it
After you finish it,
you'll forget all the suspicions you have of me
You'll think you've made a mistake
You'll also forget what happened tonight
You can get down now
I've hypnotized Liang Wenjie
I've got everything under control
But this has nothing to do with Wenjie and Anni
They're innocent
I don't want to drag them into this
But to have my revenge,
it's necessary to sacrifice some people
Yongyan...
Is this worth it?
Couldn't you quell the hatred in your heart?
I'll do anything...
to have my revenge
Anyone who stops me will have to die
What's wrong?
I can't sleep
Have you been under a lot of stress?
I don't know
This has never happened before
Hungry? I can cook you some noodles
I'm not hungry
Go to sleep. I'll be fine
If you're not hungry,
I can chat with you
That's OK
You OK?
I'd like to be alone, all right?
All right. Don't stay up too late
You're up early
I didn't sleep -You didn't?
What's going on with you?
It's bad if you have trouble sleeping
Could it be the pillow? I'll get you a new one
No need
What porridge is this?
Your favourite - fish porridge
It's awful
I've cooked it in the same way for over 20 years
I'm not eating it!
Even if you're worried about Xuezhi's illness,
there's no need to lose your temper
Mum, will you stop nagging me?
What are you doing?
What?
How could you yell at Mum?
Apologize to her
Never mind
Liang Wenjie, apologize to her!
Where are you going?
Out
Do I need your permission?
He's always been a good son,
and never raised his voice at me
He's had it in for me recently
He seems like a different person
Wenjie!
Wenjie, I can't believe you're sleeping
What's up?
Do you know you've screwed up Mr Chen's case?
I'm familiar with rats like him
'Cause he doesn't want to pay alimony,
he claims his wife has cheated on him
We don't pry into his personal life
He's the client and we're representing him
It's our job to handle his case to the best of our ability
Yeah. Even if the client has done something unethical,
we'll still help him despite our conscience gnawing at us
He's innocent until proven guilty...
by a court of law
He's paid us to represent him
It's then our job to do so
Otherwise, we'll be the ones without scruples
You're making dirty money!
What kind of attitude is that?
I'm talking to you in a civil manner...
If you're unhappy with me, you can fire me
Liang Wenjie, I'm warning you... -Dad!
He's acting like this because of Xuezhi
Mind your own business!
I was just trying to...
What a waste of my time!
Wenjie. Wenjie!
What's wrong with him lately?
You're Smiling Tiger?
Are you Nan?
Find me a boat. I must leave as soon as possible
When's the first available boat?
There's an illegal ship heading to Taiwan the night after tomorrow at 10
You can take that
Night after tomorrow? Is there an earlier one?
The authorities have been put on alert
Take it or leave it
We've checked all the checkpoints
There are no records of Smiling Tiger leaving
I think he's still here
High-end hotels, budget hotels,
big and small hotels - we've searched them all
We've also checked out the places he often hangs out at,
including gambling dens and massage parlours
But we didn't find any useful leads
Madam, we've just received a tip-off...
that someone has approached a boat owner...
to help him flee in a smuggler's boat
The description of the person fits that of Smiling Tiger
Time and place? -Night after tomorrow
But we're not sure which pier it is
Inform all units...
to guard all piers starting tonight
This could be our last chance to nab him
We mustn't let him get away -Yes, Madam
Did you like the steak?
Very good
It's perfect
Was it really that delicious?
It's the thought that matters
It was my pleasure
I feel so lucky that I can cook for you
Sorry, I've been real busy the last few days
I've been trying to nab Smiling Tiger that I've got no time for you
In fact, I rushed here...
only after you'd prepared dinner
That's OK
Will you be free the next few days?
Come with me to visit my dad in the hospital
What happened to him?
Ever since the kidnapping,
his health has deteriorated
Smiling Tiger is a terrible criminal
Don't worry, we're going to catch him soon
You've got info of him?
We've received a tip-off
He's contacted a boat owner...
to help him flee the country
We have people stationed at all the piers
When he shows up, we'll arrest him!
Good job
You're so capable
I'm sure you'll crack the case soon
Smiling Tiger is armed. You've got to be careful
You must be tired. Turn in early
We've received a tip-off
He's contacted a boat owner...
to help him flee the country
We have people stationed at all the piers
When he shows up, we'll arrest him!
Anni
Anni?
What are you doing here?
May I have a dance with you?
You love money so much
How much money is enough for you?
Of course the more, the better
Isn't it?
Look...
You will become very rich...
if you own this
I'm very rich
I have lots of money
I'm very rich
I'm very rich...
Take this,
and you'll become very rich
The more pills you take, the richer you'll become
I want to be rich
I want to have lots of money
I want to be rich
I want to have lots of money
Linda, are you all right?
Did you have a bad dream?
I dreamt that...
everyone had found out about your plan
The police had arrested you!
They wanted to press charges against you
No...
I can't lose you...
I'm fine -I can't lose you...
I'm fine. Nothing will happen to me
Don't be silly
It was only a nightmare. It wasn't real
I can't lose you...
It's all right
I can't lose you...
10! -15!
10! -20!
You've lost. Drink up
Waiter
Waiter! -Another round
Sure, I'll take you on
Another bottle
You've already drunk a lot
What business is it of yours?
What?
Afraid I can't pay up?
Think I don't have money?
All right...
10! -15!
10! -20!
You've lost -Let's go again
You've lost. Drink up!
10! -15!
10! -20!
10! -15!
10! -20!
You've lost. Drink up!
One more round
Again...
10! -15!
Will you pipe down?
This is a pub. You want quiet? Go home
Come on!
Come and get us!
Come on!
Wenjie!
Stop it!
What are you doing?
Aren't you very good?
Wenjie! You OK?
Leave or I'll call the police!
Let's go -Count yourself lucky
Wenjie!
You're awake?
How are you feeling?
My head hurts a lot
You were passed out the whole night
What?
Why were you in a fight last night?
I was in a fight? -Yes
You had a fight with some guys outside the pub
You don't remember it?
Xuezhi saw you being attacked when she looked you up at the pub
You don't remember any of it?
I only remember I was feeling down yesterday,
and drinking alone at the pub
Then, I received a call
But there was no one on the other line
After that...
I don't remember a thing after that
I suspect I'd been hypnotized
No wonder you've been acting weird,
as if you've turned into a different person
You said you'd received a call. You know who called?
It was an anonymous number
Why don't you hand over your mobile?
I'll take it back to the station to run some checks
I'll get it
Have a good rest
See you
Want some water?
What are you doing here?
Free to dine with me?
With you? Of course
Just give me one minute
Where were you last night?
Me?
I was at a pub...
drinking with my uni classmates
Something happened to Wenjie last night. Did you know that?
Did you say Wenjie?
What happened?
He was beaten up by some guys after arguing with them
Is he all right? -Just flesh wounds
He said he'd lost his cool after receiving...
an anonymous call
When he woke up,
he had no recollection of why he'd got into a fight
Was he drunk, or did he get hit on the head...
so he didn't remember a thing?
He suspected he'd been hypnotized
Hypnotized?
Do you suspect me?
No
Don't deny it
Look...
Wenjie's my good friend. Why would I want to hypnotize him?
Besides, I didn't have a reason to do it
I hope this had nothing to do with you
It had nothing to do with me
Yes, Jason?
Tonight? Is the tip-off reliable?
I'm on my way
Sorry, I can't eat with you
I'll make it up to you
Be careful
"Don't go to the pier. The police will be there! Get to the new rendezvous point"
Mister, I'm not going. Please turn back!
We're almost there
I told you, I'm not going
Take me somewhere else, quick!
What are you thinking about?
I was thinking...
if I'd been hypnotized,
what other evil things would I do?
Stop worrying. You'll be fine
You don't understand
It's terrifying if you can't control...
your own behaviour
You're isolated, and you don't have a mobile phone
There's no way Yongyan can hurt you
I hope so
I need water
I'll go get some
Let's call it off
It's one hour past the time we're expecting him
There's nothing yet. Smiling Tiger isn't coming
Could he be at another pier?
The Intelligence Department confirmed it was this pier
Madam, could someone have tipped him off?
Only we knew about it
And I don't believe there's a mole among us
Perhaps something had put Smiling Tiger on guard
Everyone's tired. Let's head back to the station
Yes, Madam
Yes, Xuezhi?
Anni, Wenjie's missing!
I'm in the hospital. Can you come over now?
I'll be right over
I'll wait for you
Where are you, Wenjie?
Miss, calm down
We've sent people to look for him
He may still be on the premises
Thank you -You're welcome
Wenjie...
Where are you, Wenjie?
Where are you?
Did you tell me to come to this pier instead?
Have you been secretly helping me?
I guess... I should thank you
Now...
Why are you helping me?
What are you doing?
Aren't you here to help me?
Why are you putting a knife to my neck?
I know - you want money?
I've got money. You can have it. You can have it all!
Let me go
Wenjie!
Madam, help! -What are you doing?
Help me!
Put the knife down
Don't do it, Wenjie!
Wenjie!
I think he's been hypnotized
What do we do?
Calm down, Wenjie. Listen to me...
Wenjie, if you don't let him go, I'm going to shoot
Wenjie! You mustn't do it!
Look at me, Wenjie
I'm Xuezhi
Wenjie...
I'm Xuezhi...
Don't do it, Wenjie...
No, don't!
No visitors allowed -Yes, Madam
You're awake? How do you feel?
What are you doing here?
Don't worry, your injuries are minor
Why am I handcuffed?
What happened?
You can't remember a thing?
Could you try?
Where were you? And what were you doing?
I was chatting with Xuezhi,
and then she went out to get a drink
What happened next?
I seem to have heard...
a phone ringing in the corridor
I can't remember what happened next
What did I do?
You stabbed Smiling Tiger and he fell into the sea
We managed to save him
But he's now in the ICU
He's not out of the woods yet
What?
Are you going to charge me?
No, it wasn't your fault
You'd been hypnotized to carry out the assault
Wenjie!
How did you get injured?
Is it serious?
I'm fine -You're not fine
Xuezhi called to say you'd been shot
I was terrified
Who landed you in a hospital?
Auntie...
It was me -You?
Anni didn't have a choice
Didn't have a choice?
She had a choice not to shoot him!
He's my only son
I'm sorry, Auntie
Mum, don't blame Anni
If she hadn't shot me, I would've committed murder
Why would you commit murder?
When can he go home?
He had intent to kill,
and injured his victim seriously
We have to detain him for questioning
My son would never do a thing like that
Don't accuse him of something he didn't do!
Come on, Mum
I'm fine
How is he, doctor?
Even though he survived,
the excessive blood loss and lack of oxygen...
mean the prognosis isn't good
He's lucky that he survived
When will he come round?
It's hard to say. The patient is in a coma
He may remain in a vegetative state
I thought Smiling Tiger...
could wake up and tell us the truth
What now?
We'll figure something out
Liang Wenjie and Smiling Tiger aren't enemies
Liang had no motive to kill Smiling Tiger
I was there at the time
I believe Wenjie had been hypnotized into attacking Smiling Tiger
Smiling Tiger was supposed to meet the boat owner at 10 pm
But he changed his mind at the last minute
Someone must've tipped him off
This person then lured him to another place,
and used Wenjie to kill him
I believe this person has a vendetta against Smiling Tiger
He wanted Smiling Tiger dead
Do you think Chief Hong was involved?
He was kidnapped by Smiling Tiger recently
That's possible
Guo Yongyan is an expert hypnotist
If he wanted to avenge Chief Hong,
he could've hypnotized Liang Wenjie into carrying out a proxy murder
Jason...
The day you informed me about Smiling Tiger's escape,
I was at Yongyan's clinic
Could Yongyan have tipped him off?
Madam, Yongyan may be suspicious,
but I don't understand...
how Wenjie was hypnotized...
when he had no mobile on him
Wenjie told us...
he'd heard a phone ringing in the corridor
Did the perpetrator use this method to hypnotize him?
Who knew this was possible?
How do you guard against that?
Check the hospital's CCTV footage...
to see who was passing through the corridor at the time
Yes, Madam
I'll go with him
Is the food not to your liking?
I put a lot of effort into cooking it
Did something happen back at the station?
You really don't know?
Come right out and say it
It's bad to bottle up your thoughts
You'll answer me honestly if I ask you a question?
Of course
I promised you I'd never lie to you
Besides, my conscience is clear
Ask away
Wenjie was hypnotized...
into attacking someone
Did you have anything to do with it?
Why do you always suspect me...
whenever something happens to Wenjie?
Smiling Tiger and Chief Hong have a bitter feud
You're Chief Hong's adopted son,
and you know hypnosis...
Hang on
I'm not the only person who knows hypnosis
You already suspect me,
so nothing I say will matter
If I told you...
I had nothing to do with Wenjie's incident,
you wouldn't believe me, would you?
Wenjie told you he'd been hypnotized,
and you took his word for it
How do you know he wasn't lying?
I've known Wenjie since we were in pre-u
I know him very well
He had no motive to kill Smiling Tiger...
You know Wenjie, but do you know me?
Just because I'm Chief Hong's adopted son...
that you suspect me of doing such evil?
Do you really think I'm so contemptible?
Wenjie and I...
Who do you believe?
I can't believe you haven't got the slightest trust in me
What's the point of us being together?
Let's take a break from each other for now
At least until we clear the air
Do you really have to do this?
If we can't trust each other,
what's the point of carrying on?
I don't want to fight with you over this every time we meet
All right, I respect your decision
Why are you home so early?
Mum, Dad
Have you eaten? -Yes
Come here. I want to talk to you
Your dad's birthday is two days away
Ask Yongyan to join us for a meal
Yes, invite him over
He's not free
How do you know that when you haven't even asked?
He won't turn up
Did you have a fight?
What's the matter?
There's been a misunderstanding
We're taking a break from each other
What happened exactly?
Tiffs are common among young couples. It's nothing serious
Your mum and I used to bicker all the time too
If your love for each other is still strong,
the relationship will remain strong
That sounded a little too pat
You two went through so much to be together
Don't break up over a small misunderstanding
Listen to me... -Mum
I don't feel like talking
Stop grilling me
I'm going upstairs
Anni!
By the look of things, they really had a big fight
Why don't we ask Yongyan?
Don't do that
Don't you know your own daughter?
This is between them. Let's not be prying
But... -No buts
I'm warning you -
stay out of this
Otherwise, Anni would blow her top
I hear you
Let's eat
