Little Bo!

Where is Grandma?

Look here! Smile!

Little Bo!

What are you looking at?

Mom, why don't you go see your friends if you are so free?

Little Bo is more important and she's learning how to talk.

I want to be there when she says Grandma.

She might even say

"I want to be pretty and smart like Grandma!"

Oh, no! She's crying!

Is it because Grandma is being naughty?

Look at these beautiful grapes!

They're purple.

For you. Do you want them?

You want to give them to Daddy?

Or do you want to give them to Grandma?

Pick her up and spin her around!

She likes dancing, just like Grandma.

Give it to Grandma?

Here, give it to me.

What are you doing?

Didn't Officer Zheng tell us to go through old videos

to see if there's anything suspicious?

I know.

- Give it to Grandma. - Here, give it to me.

But isn't that video from last year?

I just want to be thorough.

Grandma's going to post your videos online.

I want Little Bo to decide for herself

whether to make her videos public when she grows up.

Did you hear what I said?

When did you become such a nag?

Didn't you already watch this video three days ago?

I thought you were asleep.

How could I sleep?

I made you breakfast.

Where are you going?

Mom is still at the park.

Can you drop by the police station

and check if they have any updates?

Didn't Officer Zheng say they'll call if they have any updates?

Anyway, that's what he always says.

STRANGER EYES

- About three months ago. - Three months ago?

- She went missing around this area. - We'll keep a lookout.

Our contact number is here.

If you have information or anything that can help, please get in touch.

Sure, no problem.

Thank you and sorry for the trouble.

Everyone should be careful around here...

- She went missing here? - Yes. Thank you so much.

We'll keep a lookout.

Hey, son, should we add a reward?

People were very eager to help at first...

but they seem to have lost interest.

I guess that's why they say even kindness has an expiration date.

I met a nice gentleman just now.

He said he was around that day,

taking videos of the park.

He says he'll go back to check and see if he finds anything.

Haven't we met enough "nice gentlemen" these last months?

I told him Little Bo went missing around the slides,

but you said you didn't see what happened...

so I wasn't sure what to tell him either.

I was sitting where you are now.

Then my phone rang.

It was a call from you.

I stood up and answered.

I think we talked for... two minutes.

No more than five.

She was there at the slide.

As per usual...

she wasn't with the other kids.

And then...

she just disappeared.

I looked around the entire park...

and asked the other parents...

but no one saw anything.

That's natural.

Parents only watch out for their own children.

What were we talking about?

You were explaining how you lost your daughter.

No, I meant what were we talking about that day on the phone

when Little Bo went missing.

Who remembers these things?

Wouldn't you?

This is our little girl who is missing.

Sorry, no thanks.

Do help us keep a lookout.

- Here is my number-- - No, thank you.

I know how you feel, I really do. I'm a mother myself.

But you see what's happened around here? Everyone is gone.

There used to be other families who would play here.

Now everyone thinks there is a pervert on the loose.

Nobody dares to come anymore.

Is this your daughter? She looks like our Little Bo.

Excuse me.

Be careful.

Bye-bye!

Some people just shouldn't be parents.

Ariel, do you like this toy?

No?

What about this?

Do you want books?

This one?

Okay, what else?

What do you want?

Sorry, excuse me.

How about here?

No? Okay.

Hello, is he okay?

Do you need help?

I don't know what's happening...

He's just crying non-stop.

Hello! What's your name?

He's not usually like this.

Calm down.

Are you okay? Are you hungry?

Actually I fed him already just now.

I don't know why he's crying so much.

Maybe he just needs the right distraction?

Hello! You're so cute!

Hi! Do you see me?

Do you want to play with us?

Are you hungry? I bought sandwiches.

You managed to hook it up to the TV?

It's just as well.

You can see more details now.

What were you recording?

I didn't record this.

Someone dropped it off just now.

Who?

I don't know.

- When was that? - About an hour ago.

I found it under the door.

He even left you a DVD player?

That belongs to your mother.

I found it with her old dance recordings.

How long have you been watching this?

The video is about 20 minutes long.

I've already watched it many times.

And what did you see?

You buy groceries...

pay up...

and then leave.

This wasn't even filmed recently.

Look at Little Bo.

She's still so little.

And then?

After this, you go to check out...

and flirt with the cashier.

That's it.

You said you bought sandwiches?

Who still uses DVDs these days?

Is it some kind of sales gimmick?

Better be careful of scams.

What happened?

We've already watched one just now.

Isn't that the woman from the park this morning?

Why are you following her around?

Could it be him?

What was that about?

That's it?

Let's call the police.

Hello? This is Chen Peiying.

Is Officer Zheng there?

Turn off the lights.

Traditional mediums. Still the best.

Untraceable.

No fingerprints even.

Because everyone knows to hold it by the edges.

How's this?

We can put a camera outside your home.

You said he's been over twice?

Maybe there's a third time?

But won't we be under surveillance too?

Auntie... it's for your own safety.

Don't call me "Auntie."

Do whatever it takes to bring Little Bo back.

Sir, the copy is all good.

You guys made copies?

Of course.

Traditional mediums... can't be trusted.

What do we do now?

Now go back and wait for my call.

I'll have someone come install the camera in the morning.

Then we'll keep in touch.

Okay?

Sign here.

What's this?

Don't worry. Just a simple consent form.

Excuse me, sir.

Are you looking for something?

I was here at the store yesterday

and I lost my phone somewhere.

I see.

But I didn't find any phones today.

I didn't see one yesterday either.

What model or color was it?

I was wondering...

if I could take a look at the store camera.

Maybe I dropped my phone and someone picked it up.

According to store policy,

we're not allowed to show customers the footage.

But if you make a report with security,

I can pass them the recordings to review.

Never mind, I'll look elsewhere.

Hey, my camera!

Stop!

Stop! Come back! Give it back to me!

Stop that man!

Don't move!

Let me go! What are you doing?

Don't move!

I told you to stop moving!

Where is she?

Where is she? Tell me!

...that's what I'm saying!

I'm not afraid of what they think!

What?

It's just ballet! They think they are at the Royal Ballet?

Ma'am.

They are so spoiled.

Why should I give a refund?

I don't have time to fight with you now.

Hey.

Remember what I said?

Go home and wait for my call, right?

Why did you have to act all heroic and rob someone?

Does having a camera make someone a suspect?

Officer, my son says that he was being filmed.

Did you get him?

Yes, I did.

He's British.

He's a professor at Oxford University.

Did you look at what's in his camera?

You were certainly in it.

But so what?

While you were out playing hero,

do you know who was recorded on our camera outside your home?

Take a guess.

You know him?

Is it someone's uncle?

Teacher?

Lover?

Ex?

Then maybe he's just a delivery guy.

I guess you'll want to see...

what he recorded.

Take your time.

The coffee machine here is pretty good.

I'll be outside if anyone needs me.

Isn't this our baby room?

Did he record that from across the street?

I'll get some coffee.

Have you ever seen your own home from the outside?

Have a look.

Is it newly renovated?

We did some work on it when Little Bo was born.

Three generations under one roof! It must be lively.

Hello.

Police.

My eyes are not good. I cannot see properly.

- You're police? - Correct, Auntie. Police.

- They are back. - Auntie, you stay alone?

Yes.

With your eyes like this, you must be careful.

No, it's okay.

My son will come back and stay with me.

Okay. Auntie, when your son comes back,

ask that if he sees anyone loitering here, walking around,

to call the police. Call us.

Can you do that, Auntie?

Okay. When my son comes back, I'll tell him.

- Thank you, Auntie. - Okay.

Another DVD!

He was here!

He must be nearby.

Over there!

- Keep your eye on him. - Okay!

- Don't let him out of your sight. - Okay.

Come!

Jing! Come over here.

Look, it's going bad.

- Take care of it. - Okay.

And this too.

Member?

Nope. Should I?

Only if you pick up when I call.

Here, on me.

I'm off work in one hour if you're done baby-sitting.

Bye-bye.

You should tell me if you are going to be late,

so I don't cook so early. Look, the food's all cold.

You shouldn't be cooking if your eyes are bad.

I don't cook with my eyes.

I use my nose!

Are they fighting again?

- It's the baby again, isn't it? - I don't know.

You know...

I think some people are better off not having children.

Mom.

Mom, get up and have your breakfast.

Pour me a drink.

Don't drink so early in the morning.

The doctor told you to drink less and exercise more.

Stop being such a nag.

I'm wondering...

when I'm no longer around...

who are you going to nag?

Tell her to come home.

Then you will finally have someone to nag.

Are you waiting for me to die...

before you ask her to come back?

The room next door...

I know all about the things you keep in there.

This is my house too.

Careful.

PEIYING: I HAVE SOMETHING TO TELL YOU.

I CALLED YOU EIGHT TIMES TODAY.

ARE YOU IGNORING ME?

WHY ARE YOU BEING LIKE THIS?

GO TO HELL!

I HATE YOU...

Hey, are you done?

You heading home? Or do you have a little bit of time?

I guess it's just us two.

Where's your boyfriend?

You're back.

It says here you haven't worked in three years?

You were previously in sales?

Yes.

My wife went back to work after having a baby,

so I stayed home to look after them.

And then?

I mean...

how was it looking after a baby?

It was okay...

PEIYING: DEAR STALKER, SEND ME A CLEARER PICTURE OF YOURSELF.

YOUR PROFILE PICTURE IS SO UGLY.

It's our first child, so there's a lot to learn.

WU: I'D RATHER NOT...

I think the experience made me more responsible.

PEIYING: YOU KNOW WHAT I LOOK LIKE, BUT I DON'T. NOT FAIR.

Indeed, it's a lot of responsibility.

Yes, it is!

It's a big responsibility, you know?

PEIYING: FORGET IT. I DON'T WANT TO GET DISAPPOINTED.

I'm the kind who does my homework,

so I did research online.

But you just can't prepare for something like this.

WU: ARE YOU EMBARRASSED BY YOUR CHILD?

PEIYING: ARE YOU CRAZY? MY DAUGHTER IS THE BEST!

And the schools aren't teaching it either.

How true!

WU: THEN WHY DON'T YOU EVER POST ABOUT HER?

It's the foundation of our whole society... civilization!

Everything is so advanced these days.

We have...

Internet, space exploration, A.I. and all that,

but we haven't actually figured out how to raise kids!

It's so absurd, right?

That's true.

You think you did a good job raising the kid?

Well... at least my kid is alive.

How much is it?

No need, for you it's free.

Be careful!

You want to go and play?

Careful.

...hold our little hands and walk.

I'm working the late shift.

So I won't see you tonight?

I don't know how long I'll be.

Don't wait up.

Little Bo, Daddy is off to work.

Junyang...

Say goodbye to Daddy.

PEIYING: ARE YOU SEEING THIS?

WU: DON'T THINK TOO MUCH OF IT.

PEIYING: THEN MAYBE HE SHOULDN'T LIVE STREAM IT.

HE TREATS ME AS INVISIBLE AS AIR?

WU: AIR IS IMPORTANT.

PEIYING: IF I AM AIR, CAN YOU STILL SEE ME?

WU: I SEE YOU.

PEIYING: I WANT TO BE SEEN.

Unforgettable

Unforgettable

I cannot forget your wrongs

Or how you are so right

I cannot forget our walks in the rain

And the embraces in the wind

Unforgettable

Unforgettable

I cannot forget your tears

Or your smiles

I cannot forget the sorrow of falling leaves

Or the heartache

Of flowers blooming

The lonely long alley

The crescent moon dimly tilting

The abandoned playground swing

Now swaying gently in the wind

They repeat your words

Time and again

Forget about it, forget about it

It whispers a song in my heart

Time and again

So hard to forget

So hard to forget

Unforgettable, unforgettable

I cannot forget that spring is over

Or that the flowers are to wilt

I cannot forget the feeling of parting

And also the aching

Of love.

We searched the home of your number one fan

and investigated the few friends he has.

We found nothing.

What about the supermarket? He has keys to the supermarket.

We were there too. Nothing.

His boss heard from us that he brought you there after work.

So they fired him.

You're not going to just let him off like this?

Listen...

On what basis should we hold him?

We couldn't find anything.

All we can prove is that he has a sick fetish of watching you guys.

How about this?

You could file a complaint for voyeurism and harassment.

That should give him some prison time. Maybe two to three months?

Would you like that?

If you'd like,

I can pick him up right after the coffee.

Of course! What is there to think about?

Auntie-- Sorry.

This is about their privacy.

You are of legal age?

Then it's up to them.

What do you say?

All I want is to have Little Bo back.

- Peiying! What's going on? - Calm down!

Junyang!

- Am I lying?! - What's wrong with you?

Let go of me!

- Calm down! - Let me go.

I can't think straight anymore.

Let go.

I can't be sure anymore...

if I wanted to have her from the start.

Didn't we make an appointment to terminate the pregnancy?

Is it because we didn't love her enough?

That's why she was taken.

Don't give up.

Little Bo still needs us.

I need you too.

I can't do this alone.

What was he like?

It's hard to tell...

without meeting him in person.

But I guess I did like him.

What did you like about him?

I liked the way he looked at me.

The feeling of being seen by him...

when you find someone who gives you unconditional attention.

He saw me

not as the image I presented to fans online...

and not just a mother.

He saw me... for who I am.

Is that why you don't want to press charges?

No.

I just think that if we lock him up...

we might never get to see Little Bo again.

You really think he's the one who took Little Bo?

It has to be him.

Sir... can you tell me where you want to go?

Just keep following that bus.

We've been doing that for a long time.

Why don't you just take the bus?

Are you disappointed?

No.

No!

What about you?

Do you like what you see?

I'll go with you.

I'll go with you.

Just tell me...

where my daughter is.

I'll go with you.

I really don't know where she is.

How can you not know?

Don't you see everything?

Don't you see everything?!

Where is she?

Give her back to me.

Give her back to me.

Where is my daughter?

I really don't know!

I can't live without her.

Where is my daughter?

Why didn't you see it?

Why didn't you see it?

I didn't see it. I didn't see...

What are you looking at in the dark?

It will ruin your eyes!

You used to be such a good boy when you were little.

I don't understand how you became like this.

What's wrong with you?

Tell me. What's wrong with you?

Where did they find her?

Officer Zheng said a woman took Little Bo to replace her own child

after she lost hers in a car accident.

She didn't just pick a random child off the street.

If you saw her daughter's photo,

Little Bo and her daughter are exactly alike.

Everything's fine now. She's come back to us.

She's here.

Darling!

It's all right now. All right, darling.

Hush hush. Hush hush.

You're safe now. Darling, it's fine now.

You are safe now.

Little Bo has arrived

Little Bo's right at your doorstep

How did you find her?

Patience.

Look over there.

There.

And there.

We police don't have to play hide-and-seek

or go undercover like in the movies anymore.

We just need to watch carefully...

and wait patiently.

What I've learned from years of experience is...

no matter how careful one is...

they will slip up at some point.

Then isn't it easy to catch a criminal?

You just have to watch someone close enough

and keep your eyes on him.

At some point, even if he's not a criminal...

he will turn into one.

What happened between you two?

We just got Little Bo back and now she is leaving?

I don't care what you've done.

Go apologize to her.

Get her back.

For Little Bo's sake, there is nothing the two of you cannot resolve.

Mom, enough.

Can I help you, sir?

No, thanks. I'm just waiting for someone.

Well, this isn't the first time you're here alone.

You were here alone yesterday and the day before.

I like the cold. What's wrong with that?

According to company policy,

you need to leave your details with security for the record.

What for?

For the safety of the little ones. Please, follow me.

You think I'm a pervert?

- What about them? - Them?

You mean the parents with their kids?

Or those couples on dates?

So I like to enjoy winter alone. Is that not allowed?

All right.

Prove it.

You're not joining us for dinner tonight?

Why?

Looks like you really are waiting for someone.

She's here.

All right then. Where to?

So you're just going to stare at me in silence?

I'm not sharing this with you.

You've been stalking me at my workplace for days now.

You think I didn't notice it?

Don't you think you owe me an explanation?

Anything?

Whatever comes to mind. It's not a test.

When I was watching you,

I thought to myself

what your life is like.

I try to imagine

what you're thinking.

Sometimes I imagine

what you were like

before I started watching you.

And what you are like

after I stop.

And?

After watching me for so long,

what are your observations?

That you're bored at work.

After all that time watching me, that's all you've got?

You are the one who's bored!

Perhaps...

you can have a different kind of life.

Or maybe you can become someone

that will make her mother proud.

If that's the case,

what kind of person do you think I should become?

Something creative...

maybe to do with music...

or drawing...

or even dance.

I'm curious.

When you say that I should become someone that makes my mother proud,

why didn't you mention my father?

Sounds to me like you are projecting your own anxieties onto me.

Well, think what you want, but do me a favor

and don't make my life so sad just because yours is a tragedy.

Okay? I'm doing just fine!

You're back.

Where have you been?

Mom, what's wrong?

Mom!

Are you okay?

Let me help you up.

What's wrong?

Sit with me for a while.

Mom, is your leg all right?

You're all grown up.

So fast.

It'll only go faster.

Mom, what are you talking about?

Mom...

I...

Lately, I...

I know.

I know everything.

I'm your mother.

Don't you think I can see my son?

Just like on this day last year and the year before...

I ask the same question every year.

How are you?

How have you been all this time?

I thought I'd seen everything.

I've seen you cry...

and laugh...

but always from this distance.

I wonder

if I really know you.

Maybe the only person I see is myself.

Over the years,

I've seen you go on dates with friends...

but sometimes I wonder...

if you've really been in love?

Have you ever felt the kind of joy that you can't even control?

Or the kind of passion that makes you do things you couldn't have imagined?

It's hard to imagine...

that I too was young once.

That I once felt all these emotions too.

Back then, I didn't know any better...

and I only cared about myself.

And I ended up hurting you.

The only thing I can say is...

I am sorry.

I am not asking for your forgiveness.

But I often wish...

that I could have done better back then.

I regret not having the courage...

to tell you everything that I wanted to say.

If one day I could stand in front of you...

I want to tell you

how proud I am of the person you've become.

But until then...

I can only...

watch over you from afar.

Happy birthday...

my dear.
