[Love Me If You Dare]
[Episode 17]
We've found the location where the victims were kept. Searching it now.
Captain!
Captain, he's still breathing.
There's another one here!
She's lost a lot of blood. Her pulse is weak.
We've combed through the basement.
There are two victims. We need medical personnel down here.
Based on their appearance, they should be Fan Hai Zhi and He Ai Wen.
We haven't found anyone else.
- Keep looking. - Copy.
Hello? I'm here.
Ma'am, you can't enter. You can't go in.
I'm Bo Jin Yan's older sister.
It's an emergency.
Here's my ID. Let me go in.
If you're his sister, how come your surname is Yin?
It's an emergency!
If I can't go in, get him to come out!
I'm sorry. We're in the middle of something
and Professor Bo is very busy.
Then call Zi Yu. Call Fu Zi Yu!
It's him.
Hello?
Simon. We can finally speak to each other directly.
What do you want?
Has Miss Yin told you about the bomb?
Kevin. Hold off for a second.
Group B, stand by.
There's a possible bomb in the building.
Get everyone out.
Everyone, get out.
Is this the next step in your little game?
You stole my prey.
Ruined my perfect family.
I should retaliate, shouldn't I?
Would you mind telling me the rules of your game?
I want you to walk into the courtyard.
You're too far.
You won't have time.
I'm only 10 meters away from the house.
Is this distance all right with you?
Perfect.
You likely already know what's going on.
Both the third floor of the west end in the main house
and the side building's south end on the third floor
have a bomb.
The bombs are on two different people.
I don't think I have to tell you who they are.
Li Xun Ran and Lin Yi Yang.
Li Xun Ran is in the main building.
Lin Yi Yang is in the other.
Once I activate the bomb...
you will have three minutes.
It takes only two minutes from your position
to get to either of the rooms they're in.
Deactivating the bombs is easy.
All it takes is your fingerprint, and the bomb will disconnect.
You get what I'm saying?
Yes.
I'm the only person who can go in and deactivate the bomb
and it's impossible for me
to be in two places at once.
I can only choose one of them.
Li Xun Ran and Lin Yi Yang.
Who will you murder?
Simon, are you ready to run?
I'm going to turn the timer on.
Three. Two. One.
It's okay. Jin Yan won't let the bombs go off.
Simon. Tell me. Who did you pick?
Tell me what you're feeling right now.
Saving one person and killing another, even if you don't like the person...
It's upsetting, isn't it?
You have to get over it.
Murder... really gives one a very wonderful feeling.
Once you experience it...
you'll become addicted to it.
You've deactivated a bomb.
That's right.
You chose Lin Yi Yang.
That's right.
Li Xun Ran is a cop.
A respectable officer in the eyes of an average person.
You've worked three cases with him.
Yet you chose to kill him
in order to save a gambling addict?
In order to save a drug addict?
No.
I haven't killed anyone.
Li Xun Ran is not in that room in the main house.
Aren't I right?
You truly enjoy killing people.
However, you enjoy conquering me more.
You think that just by observing me
you understand me.
You expected me to choose Li Xun Ran.
In your plans, I first rush into the main house.
I find it empty.
And then the bomb on Lin Yi Yang's body goes off.
That way, I become a murderer
while saving no one.
And thus, you conquer me.
Correct?
Are you gambling with Li Xun Ran's life?
Psychologically analyzing criminals like you is my job.
It's not a gamble.
Time is already up. No bombs have gone off.
Looks like I was right.
It seems like I didn't choose the wrong person.
Simon.
You truly are the one person in the world
who understands me the most.
I can't wait to meet you...
and make you my accomplice.
Jin Yan, where's Xun Ran?
Xie Han just played a game with me.
A game?
He said he put a bomb on both of them.
I could only choose one.
Only one of them would live.
I chose Lin Yi Yang.
Jian Yao, don't be afraid.
As you can see...
Li Xun Ran isn't here.
So... Xun Ran, he...
Xie Han most likely took Xun Ran out of here
before we had the place surrounded.
If only I had discovered the meaning of the finger tapping earlier.
He worked so hard to send us a message.
Only a day earlier.
Just one day.
Jian Yao. I don't know Li Xun Ran that well.
But I'm positive that he wouldn't want you
to be thinking like that.
Xie Han is running around now with a live man in tow.
It won't be easy for him.
But still, he chose to take Xun Ran with him.
This means he has other plans for him.
Don't worry.
He won't kill Li Xun Ran.
There's still time to save him.
It's okay.
We're coming to you with the latest.
After an arduous investigation...
police have uncovered the residence
of the serial killer who has been dumping his victims.
Officers successfully rescued three kidnap victims.
However, the suspect is still at large.
Listen to this music.
Savor it slowly.
The title is “Sculpture.”
It's a piece I composed just for you.
I will slowly...
Slowly infiltrate this music into every fiber of your being.
You have to understand that you will only stop feeling pain
when you submit yourself to me.
When that time comes, the only thing left in your mind
will be me and my commands.
Even though they've locked down
customs at the airports and ports...
Hong Kong is a huge city.
It's so densely populated.
So many people go in and out every day.
He has plenty of opportunities to escape.
Right?
Yes. Plenty.
But no matter how stealthy he is, he's just a messed up criminal.
Remember what I told you before?
I only catch the most diabolical criminals.
Only I can find him.
As long as Xun Ran is able to hang on until then.
He's one of the strongest people I know.
He's been protecting all of us since we were young.
My mom says Xun Ran was born a cop.
Just this once.
I didn't come for nothing, after all.
Remember your promise! See you in the winter.
I should apologize to you.
Why?
Although I had already deduced what was going on...
when I had to make that decision...
I wasn't entirely sure I was right.
I couldn't be sure that Li Xun Ran really wasn't in that room.
We're all mortals.
The question of who lives and who dies
has no answers and isn't up to us.
It doesn't matter what choice you make in those situations.
In your heart, you'll find fault with your decision.
But because of that, any choice you make is right.
Because I understand what's in your heart.
Where's Jian Yao?
Asleep.
I know she's experienced a lot before, but the past few days
have been a lot, even for someone like her.
I have to admit, she's dealt with it well.
She's not your average girl.
I bet she's far surpassed your expectations.
Sometimes, she's soft like something cute
that you want to cuddle and squeeze.
And sometimes...
her resilience is astounding.
Even I can lean on her for support.
[Yin Zi Qi calling]
People's lives are usually bound by fate.
It's really strange how the past and present connect.
Take you for example.
Your mom is from Tong City.
So as a child, you and Jian Yao lived in the same city.
Even if just for a short period.
But maybe this is a kind of fate.
The beginning of the yarn that connects you.
Hey! I'm talking to you!
You're absolutely right.
The present is a continuation of the past.
Perhaps the key to solving this
really does lie with Tommy.
Tommy?
While solving the Flower Cannibal case, I assumed he had no accomplice.
But now we know that even though he works alone
he has some kind of mentor.
We can re-analyze the information following this premise.
What you're saying is we should go back
and look at the details of Tommy's crimes again
and see if anything is connected to Hong Kong?
Tommy and Xie Han are different.
He's completely American.
If any of his crimes were connected with Hong Kong...
then his resources must have come from Xie Han.
Have you come to pick up goods?
Haven't seen you around.
Has Lao Chen's store changed employees?
His business is doing great. One employee wasn't enough.
So he hired me.
Guys, get to work.
Is Old Cai here?
You know Old Cai?
Does he still like to hide in the cabin's berth
and count his precious gemstones?
We're old friends.
Haven't seen each other in awhile, so I'm popping in to say hi.
Xie Han's moves in Hong Kong have been efficient, discreet, and effective.
He couldn't have done it all just by capturing Lin Yi Yang.
He must have deeper connections here.
This couldn't have all been short-term planning.
You have a point.
The fact that the police have turned Hong Kong upside down
searching for him to no avail...
He's definitely not just a casual passerby.
We've hit a dead end with him.
Now we can only hope that Tommy has used
resources from Hong Kong in his past crimes.
Call Susan.
Ask her to go through Tommy's files again.
Hey.
Don't you have a giant box the size of a house
filled with stuff about Tommy?
Susan's going to kill you.
It's not like she can reach across the Pacific Ocean.
Call her.
Right now it's the middle of the day in America.
How come Jian Yao is allowed to sleep
but I have to work?
What happened to “friends first”?
What's wrong, Old Cai?
When I dug into that man's chest cavity, pulled apart his ribs
and took out all those diamonds for you.
Your face did not look like this.
You... What do you want now?
I need to leave Hong Kong with some cargo.
I'll give you three days.
Coffee. Milk. Sugar.
There's only instant.
Whatever.
What were you two up all night doing?
Tommy.
How rare, to see you like this.
If Xie Han manages to take Li Xun Ran out of Hong Kong
our search will escalate in difficulty.
Every single second is incredibly important right now.
Tell me. Who are you?
I am... Li Xun Ran.
No, you're not. You are my creation.
I am Li Xun Ran.
I'm not... not your creation.
The stronger your spirit is, the more powerful your willpower...
the more magnificent the result will be.
For you... I don't mind using every method available.
And you...
will become my most successful experiment.
Captain Liang, the files you requested.
Thank you.
Professor Bo, it's Kevin.
We found Lin Yi Yang's phone in the mountains.
Xie Han only used it to make one phone call.
He called Yin Zi Qi.
I'm sorry, there's nothing on Li Xun Ran.
We'll talk soon.
Everyone, listen to me.
We've already rescued three victims, which is very good.
However, the suspect is still at large in our city with another victim.
I know the past few days have been rough.
But we can't relax just yet.
All the ports, airports, roads...
Any possible entrance or exit to or from the city must be under our surveillance.
This includes all private planes and yachts as well. No exceptions.
I don't care what fancy businessmen we rile up.
If anyone has any complaints, bring them to me.
- Understood? - Yes, sir!
How's it going?
I just need two more hours
to go over everything the FBI has sent over regarding Tommy.
There's a portion that hasn't been filed digitally.
The Americans are taking care of it.
So far, I still haven't been able to connect Tommy to Hong Kong.
That's probably the service staff coming for the utensils.
Chairwoman.
Miss Yin, hello.
They're both really busy right now.
Jian Yao wasn't trying to get rid of you. We really are busy.
I'm not as diligent as he is. I can help you out.
First, I wanted to thank you guys for saving Yi Yang.
His stocks have fallen a bit because of this incident
but the situation is manageable.
I have added 11 percent of my holdings to support his.
Congratulations.
Congrats.
Jian Yao... You have no idea what you're congratulating her for, do you?
What my sister means is that her company is now Lin Yi Yang's largest shareholder.
So she has more control than before.
She can now annul her engagement to Lin Yi Yang.
I'll go downstairs and get everyone coffee.
Have I missed something?
What?
Has there been another murder in your company?
Of course not!
I'm just curious.
Are you and Jian Yao in a relationship?
What's there to be curious about?
I'm a normal, healthy man.
Let me just clarify. I'm not here to mess with you.
But you're completely inexperienced, so I have to ask.
Are you positive you want to be with her?
Why are you asking it like that?
Objectively speaking, you're very intelligent.
Of course, Jian Yao is a really good girl.
I'm just concerned.
In all these years, you've never expressed interest in girls.
She's your first female assistant.
A single girl and single man, together 24/7.
Feelings are bound to develop.
But are you sure that's love?
Are you sure it's not just convenience?
If a different girl were your assistant, would you feel the same way?
You've demonstrated something for me.
It's not how much experience you have
that makes you better at relationships.
Intelligence is important.
You don't understand this concept
even though you have a lot of experience.
What do you mean?
The question you asked me is a catch-22.
Think about it.
There are so many women in this world.
Why have I always utilized male assistants?
I only decided to use a female assistant
when Jian Yao came into my life.
Understood.
Even though I don't entirely get it, I still have to say
congratulations to you both.
Thanks.
Where's your sister?
She left.
What did you tell her?
Nothing much.
She was happy for me.
Here. This is interesting.
What?
It's almost night. Call Susan.
We need to go see our old friend, Tommy, again.
[Hong Kong Police Solve Animal Carcass Jewelry Smuggling Case]
Have a seat.
Hi, beautiful.
Believe me, this is not where I want to be on a Sunday morning.
You'd be smart to just answer my questions. No tricks.
Or I swear, I'll make your life in here even more miserable than it is.
Got it?
Is that the way old lovers talk to each other now?
You forgot the magic word.
2009.
You were working on a freight dock at the port of Seattle
where you killed three people.
- And they were very delicious. - Meanwhile...
One of your colleagues accidentally fell into the ocean and died.
His body was transferred to his hometown, Hong Kong.
The Chinese always like to be buried in their homeland, don't they?
But it wasn't really an accident, was it?
He was your fourth victim.
The only reason the body remained intact
was because the person who hired you needed the body for his own purposes.
Police never realized you were involved in that case.
Imagination.
It isn't the police's best suit.
2010.
At the same port...
Police solved a case of stolen jewelry smuggled into animal carcasses.
But at that time, you were not living in Seattle.
So the connection between the two cases remained undiscovered.
Although, the body of your fourth victim
was also used to transfer stolen jewelry.
The police didn't really do their job now.
Tommy.
I want you to tell me...
who... is behind all this.
I have a life sentence without parole.
Why should I tell you?
Just 'cause you're all pretty?
Tommy.
Tommy, you're a legend.
This case is your highest achievement.
Yet...
There's still a major part of your masterpiece that's missing.
Don't tell you me you don't want it to be acknowledged.
Everyone should know
that I can make them scream and holler at night.
I don't know his name, but he's kind of somebody in Hong Kong.
And he uh, he has a giant tattoo.
A black lotus from hell.
We were so happy together.
He shouldn't forget who I am.
I must remind him of my existence.
I have to.
