Original subtitles

Don't cry.

Don't cry!

Are your kids asleep?

Why are you doing this?

You're a thief.

It was my duty to catch you!

Why are you doing this?

Don't waste my time.

I just want an answer.

I'll bet you know what I want.

I remember what Lincoln once said...

"If you can't beat your enemy,

try to make friend with him."

Can't you let my wife go?

And also my children?

Don't worry about them!

Tell me.

He is now in the prison.

Really?

- Hello? - Ken, we've got trouble at the station!

Officer Lau from Team C

stole some files from the safe

and then set fire to the safe.

What's going on?

- Get out of the way. - What do you want?

- We want to see our Chief! - Not now.

- Why not? What are you doing? - Don't cross the line!

Come here!

Do you want to help him,

or just make his situation worse?

Go!

A university graduate, years service on the force.

You solved the Han-feng Bank robbery.

The biggest illegal arms deal of 1998,

and a drug deal worth 80 million. You busted them all!

You earned a medal.

You were promoted twice in three years.

Officer Lau,

what do you want to tell me?

Do you have any financial problems?

Tell me, I'll help you take care of it.

In the past, you were the pride of the force.

But now you're a disgrace to it.

I was hypnotized.

I have no idea what I did last night.

But I do remember one thing.

I did something very wrong.

I am guilty.

I have nothing more to say.

Why the hell...

did that guy...

...set fire to the safe for no reason?

I'm counting on you now.

Anyway, I just think...

I'm angry, but...

I feel sorry for him...

and I feel its such a waste!

On this case, we've to join forces to solve it.

I've got another headache!

What's on your mind?

Sir, you can speak faster next time. I'll understand.

What was stolen from the safe?

Sorry, sir!

We just know that he set the fire. We haven't checked what's missing yet.

Have you checked the tape from the CCTV?

Sorry, sir!

I waited until you came back to play the tape.

Do you know where he was yesterday?

Sorry, sir!

Chi, I'm giving you 15 minutes to give me an answer, okay?

Yes, sir!

What did you just say?

Sorry!

You don't have to say sorry, no more sorry, okay?

Come here!

- I bet you know where you have to go. - Running.

What? Diving!

- Yes, sir! - Now!

Boss, I've checked the CCTV and Lau's file, this case maybe related to G4.

G4?

Go and get me more information.

36 red swordtails, 25 wag swordtails, and 15 goldfishes.

- Again! - Yes, sir!

Abuse of rank isn't allowed in the police force.

I want you to stop this at once.

If you don't, I'll file a complaint against you.

I'm more senior than you. How can you do against me?

I'll go to Commander Wong directly.

If he can't help, I'll write to the Commissioner.

30 goldfishes, 26...

Madam wants to know if I'm abusing you.

No, Madam. Ken is training me,

my concentration, attention and intellect.

That's right. Yes sir!

You want to ask why I haven't been ring you back?

I haven't been in the mood.

Me, neither.

Over these two years, didn't you think we were in love?

Do you think it's time to break up?

Well, forget it.

I really don't understand you.

- Hello. - Boss, something terrible happened!

Officer Lau is dead.

30 goldfishes, 28 red swordtails and 25 wag swordtails.

He grabbed Joe's gun, saying he's guilty and deserved to die.

Then he shot himself in the head.

Check the previous crime committed by a hypnotist.

There are many doors in a human's brain.

It seems to be very complicated.

However, there is a method.

If you know the secret code of the door, then you can open it.

And you can see the secrets inside.

The method for opening the brain is called hypnogenesis.

We can make use of circumstances,

eye contact, and words...

to guide the subject to enter a space that we've designed.

During that time, the subject's brain and every parts of his body...

will be disconnected by us.

Then, we'll submit orders, which we preset for him.

To learn hypnogenesis, it's most important to be righteous.

There are 10 stages in hypnology.

Different instructors will first understand your mind...

At the request of 2 Hong Kong universities,

we arranged this special lecture to let the prisoner meet the students.

Jack Lai...

has 2 PhD degrees in Hypnology...

and Psychology from Massachusetts Polytechnic.

When he returned to Hong Kong, he opened his own clinic...

and appointed as a psychiatric consultant for the police force.

He and his best friend, Senior Inspector KL Cheung,

solved many critical cases using hypnosis.

He shot and killed someone in his home 2 years ago.

His wife was there too.

He was eventually charged with manslaughter...

and sent to jail for 15 years.

Professor,

can I hypnotize her to make her fall in love with me?

Horny youth.

Would you two please stand up?

Look at him.

I think it's more likely for her to hypnotize you.

I mean that, if it's not voluntary, it won't work.

In fact, you have to decode it,

you must study the subject's background and behavior.

I believe in "Trauma Theory".

If your hand is cut and bleeds, what do you do?

The white blood cells will immediately rush outwards to protect the wound.

At that moment, you'll find the door.

Everyone has at least one deep wound deep in his heart.

It may be a memory of childhood,

or the saddest time of one's life.

That's your weakest point.

That's also the door.

To success will depend on the person's ability, and his willing mind.

Let's go!

How is he?

What happened? Are you all right?

How are you?

Ken Li, Senior Inspector of the Organized Crime Bureau.

Hello, Officer Li. Nice to meet you.

Are you here to discuss my appeal?

If not, we don't have much to talk about.

No need.

You confessed to the crime two years ago.

I was framed.

I'm just kidding.

Not many people come to visit me.

I like your style. Okay, let's have a chat.

What can I help you with, sir?

One of my men...

broke into the station's safe.

Then, he set fire to it, and finally shot himself in the head.

He was desperately in need of cash, right?

If not, he must have been mentally ill.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have stolen from the police station.

He only had...

scattered memories of the crime.

He didn't remember being in the safe.

However, he said he was guilty.

And, one more thing...

he said he was hypnotized.

Wow, that guy must be an expert.

- Who do you mean? - Me.

You want me to arrest you?

By how?

I'm already in jail.

Do you want to take me from prison A to B, and then to C?

Get serious, damn it!

I'm sorry, sir.

Can't you relax?

You're too uptight, which makes me tense, too.

In that case, I don't know how to help you.

Who did it?

Anyone can do that.

That student could do it.

You can do it, too.

It depends on the technique to unlock one's heart.

You have a heart lock too.

The cop who committed the crime pleaded guilty...

because he felt ashamed of something.

So, his heart lock was easily unlocked.

Since he was hypnotized at that time,

he didn't know what he did.

So, if you hypnotize me now,

I might let you go.

Sorry, I can't do that.

Your will is too strong.

Who can do it?

Only one capable person.

He is known as "Mind hunter".

He's the only great hypnotist breaking the rules to commit crimes.

You want to arrest him? Take me with you.

No one knows his real name.

I am the only one who knows what he looks like,

he is my teacher.

He is in flat 5A, do you want me to go with you?

No.

Tom, keep an eye on him.

When we get the suspect, bring him along to make the identification.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Lai, you came here to identify the suspect.

If you try to escape, my men have ordered to shoot.

What if I suddenly disappear?

If you lose something, you look for it where you lost it.

- Don't talk to him. - Yes, sir!

We can go now.

Listen, the suspect is in flat A on the 5th floor.

Sam, Fred.

You two take the stairs.

Yes, sir!

Chi.

Ask someone to check if there's any rear door.

Sa, ring the bell.

Sir, there's nothing.

Joe, stand guard under there.

We are going to break the door now. Everyone stand by.

Sir, I'm hit!

Help! He's just escaped!

Call back up! Call back up now!

He's shooting at will!

Joe, are you okay?

Tom, bring Jack Lai here.

Tom, can you hear me?

Tom, where are you?

- Shit! - Answer me!

Boss, Jack Lai's disappeared!

You were having a good sleep, that's why I didn't wake you.

Carry on.

First step, got it!

Please send back up to look for the whole building.

Send another team to seal all exits.

Sir!

This was a false alarm.

The suspect wanted to steal the G4 members' information.

So he can hypnotize anyone he wants.

The G4 team has been assigned a mission today.

They will escort Mr. Barry Lykin,

the Commissioner of the Cultural Exchange Bureau,

and his jewels to the Egyptian Jewels Auction.

I'll inform the team and ask them to be on full alert.

But the point is...

The hypnotist has all their details. Their situation is critical.

So what do you suggest?

Let me replace them with another team.

Officer Li.

I've had my orders. How's it going?

The suspect is a great hypnotist.

Your men are all his targets. I want my team to replace them.

Then you take me to see Mr. Lykin.

I'll protect him and the jewels around the clock. Regarding the jewels,

they can't be seen by any means.

No problem.

Mink, take Officer Li's men to replace our guys.

Yes, sir.

- Chi. - Yes?

Check all the guests, the security guards, even the MC here,

and all of the cleaning staff, double-check them right now.

Pay special attention to anyone within range of Lykin.

Yes, sir!

Ken, we're here to back you up.

What would you like us to do?

We don't mind guarding the toilets.

Okay, you can take care of all toilets then.

Anything else?

The stairs, and the garbage too.

No problem.

One more thing.

Let Brenda stay here.

- Okay, Brenda, give Ken a hand. - Yes, sir.

Let's go.

You'd better co-operate with us. He's your teacher. Do you want him to die?

I said I'd help. I'll keep my word.

Watch him, but don't talk to him. He knows how to hypnotize people.

Take a seat.

Mr. Lykin, for the safety of the jewels and yourself.

I advise you to keep a low profile, until the auction is over.

All right.

I'll be counting on you!

I'll do my best.

Ladies and gentlemen!

Welcome to our fabulous auction of the Pharaoh Stars.

Now, if you can all be seated, The bidding can begin.

20 million dollars. Anyone else more than 20 million dollars?

Take a seat. Don't be so nervous.

I think he'll come to apologize to you soon.

He's a nice guy.

But he doesn't know how to behave with other people.

Don't always push him.

Give him some time, and he can make up his own mind.

Just give him some time.

Did he... did he tell you that?

If you want to tell something deep in your heart to your lover.

Don't wait until too late! All right?

Brenda.

Sorry!

What did you tell her?

I said nothing!

Nothing?

Go!

Look, isn't that pretty?

Look at it carefully. Such a nice sea view.

Why don't you ask me how did I set myself free?

When you tell yourself, "You can do it..."

Then, you can do it.

Is that the first lesson of hypnology?

You're very smart!

I brought you here to identify the suspect, not to play games.

Don't you realize what your problem is?

You always have such a long face.

It's hard for other people to get close to you.

You're like a hedgehog.

Your girlfriend won't be happy.

I don't need a girlfriend.

How about Brenda?

None of your damn business!

Let me tell a story, okay?

There was a hedgehog, he had no friends in the forest.

One day, he met a coon, he told it,

"I want to give you a hug, and make friend with you!"

It said yes, but it wanted the hedgehog to remove his spikes.

The hedgehog did.

Then they became good friends.

They played happily together.

A hedgehog is supposed to have spikes.

This is the natural law. Nothing can violate it.

You're really stubborn.

How can you lead a happy life?

I don't think you're so happy either.

How can a prisoner be happy?

How about before you were in jail?

If you were happy, you wouldn't have shot someone.

Right?

You returned to Hong Kong after your graduation in the US.

Once you were the psychological consultant for the police force.

Not long after that, you got into trouble.

You shot someone to death.

Your wife was there too.

You didn't defend yourself during the trial.

At last, you pleaded guilty to manslaughter.

You told me you were framed.

I wonder what you're keeping secret.

Nothing.

Once I was a very lucky guy.

A woman loved me very much.

But I didn't treasure it.

It's just like putting a girl on a desert island.

Banishing her to a distant place.

One day... regretted it.

But it was already too late. I couldn't win her back.

I wanted to save her, but it was too late.

Don't wait to tell your lover what's deep in your heart.

I know you tried so hard to save her.

But you must admit this reality,

a fact that you can never change.

Forgive yourself...

20 million dollars.

Are there any further bidders out there?

Mr. Wong. Thank you very much!

I'm looking for 22 million!

Mr. Lee, 22 million, going, once...

Anybody for 22?

- What's the matter? - What's going on?

Bond, Matt, go and check Lykin's room.

You're out of time. The cops are on the way.

Attention please, the diamond is gone. Ken Li is the suspect.

Seal the area, don't let Ken Li escape over.

What the hell are you doing?

Where are the gems?

Answer me!

Answer me!

Where are they? Tell me!

Get him!

Officer Li! Freeze!

Officer Li is now heading for the 2nd floor by staircase no. 3.

Move, go away!

Officer Li has left from the elevator shaft.

Hurry up!

Brenda.

I have no time to explain for you.

Jack Lai hasn't left the scene yet.

Seal the nearby streets now.

Ken, please surrender!

Listen, this is Officer Yeung.

The armed suspect Ken Li shot two of our men.

Remember, shoot if necessary.

Where are you now?

I am coming out from the rear stairs.

It's not safe, go to staircase number three now.

Police! Out of the way!

Freeze!

Brenda, go to the car park to see whether they need you or not.

Ken may leave through the car park.

Go!

I told you, Jack Lai hadn't left the scene yet.

Stop!

Attention! The suspect is driving a silver Porsche no. DW1468.

Who was supposed to watch at the monitor? Why didn't know the chief was gone?

Did you help your chief to steal the jewels?

Your chief is in deep shit now!

He pleaded guilty.

Sure he did something he was ashamed of.

I am guilty. He did it.

He set the whole things up.

If you lose something, you look for it where you lost it.

You must forgive yourself...

Why didn't he kill me too?

Why didn't he run at once?

Why?

What cool you are!

Six witnesses, all of them are your fellow officers,

The victim, the physical evidence and the tape from the CCTV.

Then there's me, and the fingerprints.

I still can't figure out one thing, though.

Why would a cop leave so many clues at the scene of a crime?

Can you tell me why?

You've been caught red-handed. I can't save you, okay?

Jack Lai is now a wanted man.

Do you have any other partners?

Just come clean.

Are your men involved?

No.

This is a piece of paper.

Where are Jack Lai and the gems?

Don't try to tell me that...

you were hypnotized by Lai...

and can't remember anything.

What's the matter?

Sir, Mr. Lykin died...

minutes ago.

And now its murder!

Mr. Ken, why don't you tell us the truth?

Otherwise, we just can't help you!

Brenda.

Please follow up on the rest of the statements.

Yes, sir!

Brenda...

Sorry.

I love this part.

"Contemplation of the inner flame of your heart,

think how it burns your trust. Love...

would make you become a different person.

You must live through it and walk through it.

But the flame of your inner heart is like burning by an evil thought.

Then you have become a devil!"

You're already a devil!

When will they come?

Boss.

- Iron Head says he'll be here in 5 minutes. - Okay.

Look at it carefully.

Such a nice sea view.

What are you trying to pull?

How dare you fight back!

Damn it! You hit us back?

S.O.S.

Boss.

What took you so long?

There were many cops outside.

Where are they?

It's impossible!

I didn't do it!

Where are the gems?

Your men kept the box.

Cut his belly open and check if the gems are there.

If not, throw him to the sea.

I like the sights on this gun.

Where are the gems?

You promised to set my wife free.

Did I say that?

I remember something! I said I must get the gems first.

Where are they?

You never intended to let her go.

You hide them, didn't you?

Why not hypnotize me, so you can make me set her free?

I want to know whether you are that powerful or not.

"When one has a clear or a strong mind.

He can't be hypnotized."

You have no chance to do that to me!

Those gems are worth 100 million US dollars.

If I can't get them back, you and your family will pay for it.

Stand back!

Freeze!

Officer Yeung...

Loves torturing prisoners.

- Bullshit. - Don't move!

Can you check Jack Lai's family for me?

And his friends too. I suspect they've being threatened.

Take care!

Yeung will escort you to headquarters. He seems so crazy.

Goddamn Idiot!

Take him away!

Yes, sir.

When you tell yourself you can do it, then you can do it.

Stop!

Freeze!

Attention, the suspect is now at the Tsing Ma Bridge.

Take him away.

Look at her eyes. It's really amazing!

You and her husband made a good team.

You two put me behind bars.

But, at last, he betrayed you.

Well, don't worry,

I helped you to deal with him.

Jack, are you here?

Leung is out, but he's on his way home now.

He said he'd be home soon.

I am going to make you some snacks for when you watch the football match.

Tell me, how did you influence the witness and put me in jail?

Are there many people like you,

powerful enough to control other people's minds?

I always think about this. Tell me, man to man, Who is the better, you or me?

I don't know.

It's me!

Ken, are you okay?

What have you got?

It seems something happened right here.

His wife is named Mandy Cheuk.

She's a medical student in Beijing.

They lived here since they got married.

Have you found her?

I tried, but I couldn't locate her.

What do you think happiness is?

The greatest happiness in my life is being with you.

Mandy!

Jack?

You've lost so much weight.

What are you doing here? You shouldn't have come.

Alright?

They came for revenge.

I made you suffer.

I'm fine.

But...

Grace and her family have suffered a lot.

Give me some time...

Mandy...

What's wrong with your eyes?

Tell me.

Tell me.

After you left,

I cried too much,

One day, when I woke up...

I had a problem seeing.

I just only see blurred images.

I don't want you to worry about me, so I didn't tell you.

Jack treats you so badly, you needn't feel sorry for him.

Hands off!

Mandy...

Where were you when I needed you most?

Today, we found the body of his best friend, KL Cheung.

However, Cheung's family has vanished.

I checked all cases undertaken by Cheung and Jack using hypnogenesis.

One of the criminals was named Au-yeung Hoi,

nickname "Ocean".

He robbed a jeweler's store five years ago.

Jack hypnotized a witness,

The witness identified Ocean, and he was sent to jail for 20 years.

1 year ago, he was sent to the US for another trial, but he escaped.

I suspect that there's a mastermind behind him.

So what do we do then?

What would you do?

If you lose something, you look for it where you lost it.

I'll go back to the hotel to check it out.

Why did Jack Lai sacrifice so much?

Sometimes, it's hard to understand a man's mind.

I am sorry.

I always scold at you.

I should apologize instead.

I have something to tell you.

Go ahead.

Run!

Ken Li!

- Stop! - Stay cool, madam!

Come on! Run away now!

- Okay, let's fall together! - Damn you!

You have no way out!

Where are you guys? You're thick as shit! On the roof!

You don't have to think so much.

If you want to play, I'll play with you.

I was just thinking,

if you get the money and kill me. What will you do next?

What a pity! I'm the only one able to understand you.

In fact, you are really pitiful.

You don't have a single friend.

And, from your eyes,

I can tell that you envy anyone who is luckier than you.

Of course.

I envy your wife the most.

She has a husband who loves her so much.

Watch the news report,

you'll know where the gems are.

Do you know what you did?

You pointed a gun at your colleague's head.

Forget about it.

Don't worry.

I'll write the report for you.

I'll write my own report.

I'll admit my fault to Officer Wong.

Brenda.

I'm sorry, can you wait for a second?

Hello? Go ahead.

Ken Li?

Sam, call the expert and check it out.

During this operation, we received help from the Serious Crime Bureau.

And we were assisted by Interpol, too.

After one whole night's investigation,

we're able to solve the international criminals...

and retrieved the Pharaoh's Stars.

Unfortunately, we haven't yet arrested the criminals concerned.

But we firmly believe that within a short period.

Based on a tip-off, we broke into the criminal's base.

We could round up the whole group.

Unfortunately, we haven't yet arrested the criminals concerned.

But we firmly believe that within a short period,

Based on a tip-off, we broke into the criminal's base.

We could round up the whole group.

Finish it while it's still hot.

I'm sorry.

I didn't have much time to eat with you.

You're still wearing it.

I never regretted marrying you.

Do you know how to take a picture?

I do!

Come on, let's take a picture.

Let's take a picture in our heart.

Smile...

I've got to go out to do something after dinner.

After that, we can all leave.

Don't do it! They won't let you go!

Trust me.

Trust me.

So much food!

Kid, you have to eat more vegetables, got it?

I treat you so well, right?

You haven't eaten like this for a long time, have you?

What should you say when someone is giving you food?

Thank you, uncle.

Remember, uncle once told you that...

your father and I are playing hide and seek, but he can't find me.

If uncle Jack gets the toy for me,

I'll send you to Disneyland, okay?

What if Uncle Jack can't get the toy?

Then, I'll send you to your daddy's place to play.

Bravo! We can stay with daddy then.

They are full now. Take them to watch TV.

I want to play a game with you.

Last time, you forgot something.

I don't want you to be that absent-minded again.

I want to play an unforgettable game with you.

Choose any one.

I must get them back for you.

Come on, you are not the boss.

5, 4, 3, 2...

Me.

I like that look in your eyes.

If you still have a problem with your memory,

next time, the targets will be the kids.

Those 2 gems are in the insurance company on the 4th floor.

Many policemen will be there to protect them.

They will transport them away at 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

In there, you'll get what you want.

Meanwhile,

I'll ask them to put your wife and the kids into a vacuum box.

In it, there is only an hour's oxygen supply. If you can't come back in time.

It means you will have killed them with your own hands.

She has something to tell you.

Jack, don't worry.

No matter what happens, we will meet again.

Just one hour?

Do you think I'm Superman?

I think you'd better explain that to them.

You'd better behave. Don't try anything. I'll be watching you.

- Are they getting ready in the control room? - Yes, sir.

Are you two free?

- Get ready! - Yes, sir!

What are you doing?

Sir, something's happening.

Are you blind? You're as thick as shit!

- Call back up now! - Yes, sir!

Calling Officer Yeung, the gems are gone!

Boss, someone is blocking his way.

Put them on. Don't try to go out.

I'll shoot you dead, I swear.

I am going to save some lives.

That's none of my business.

I just know that I'll be fine if I arrest you.

It's that cop!

Put them on.

Don't force me to shoot.

No more tricks.

If I die please find the body of my wife too.

And bury us together.

- I'll try. - Thank you.

I heard gun shot! Over there!

Run!

Jack Lai!

Jack Lai!

Let my wife go.

Let my wife go.

Hang on.

Boss, get in!

To hell with you!

Hurry up!

How are you doing?

I'm sorry I got you into this.

I'm shit, anyway.

Did you ever imagine you'd get helping me would land you in deep shit?

I'm in deep shit already, right?

All that matters is to do the right thing.

Thank you.

Faster! Faster!

Look out!

Officer Wong, I shot the criminal.

Would you please call an ambulance for me?

Do you know where they are?

Just go straight ahead.

Jack...

Turn right.

Jack...

Auntie, I can't breathe.

Auntie, I am so sleepy.

You can't sleep!

Promise me...

if I am not with you,

you have to take good care of yourself.

Turn right again.

Turn left.

Turn right.

Can you see a tunnel ahead?

Yes.

That's the place.

Let's separate and find them.

Mandy...

Jack Lai.

You lied to me.

You teamed up with the cop to trick me.

It won't be that easy.

I won't lose that way.

Jack, look at your face.

You make me feel so happy.

You said you're so strong. You said I wouldn't hypnotize you.

You haven't got the gems. That means you've lost.

I have never been beaten by you.

Never!

I sent you to jail.

In all those years, you just thought about revenge.

Vengeance has already hypnotized you.

You've never won.

You were always a loser.

I have already defeated you, Jack.

Listen!

No one can open this box except me.

Have you noticed how you behaved just then?

You lost your mind and you lost control!

Do you know how pitiful you looked? It's so funny!

The great lover, right?

I'll send you to meet her in hell.

Goddamn cop!

You're more than I bargained for.

Let them go, now!

They're all dead.

Drop the gun.

I've got the gems you want.

If you surrender, your sentence will be shorter.

No hurry.

Slow down.

If they die, the gems will still be with me.

Can you guess what I can't wait to see?

To see you, helpless, watching your lover dying.

You look so good to me now, you know that?

Jack Lai!

Be strong!

Don't move!

Brenda.

Ken.

- Are you all right? - I am all right.

I've figured out a way to open the box.

I've got it too.

But we have to take a risk.

All right, let's take a risk.

What did you say?

Jack.

Don't you want to save your wife now?

Nope.

It's really lucky to die with the one you love most.

However, you are alone!

Even when you die...

you will die alone.

You're so right.

He's never even been close to love.

And he's never said sweet things to his lover.

And he's never tried to love at all.

Poor guy!

What a loser!

Why don't you have any friends?

Why don't you have relatives?

Why are you so lonely?

I've got no friends.

I've got no relatives.

Mandy...

Jack!

Jack, wake up!

Jack, wake up please!

Jack!

Hello.

I'm fine.

I'll take the kids back to Beijing tomorrow.

My eyes are better now.

They're fine.

Well, you have to take care of yourself too.

Bye.

Do you know how to hypnotize people now?

If you knew how, what would you do?

Well, if everyone in the world hypnotized himself...

saying that, "I am content...",

everyone in this world will be as happy as we are.

I don't have to hypnotize myself, I am self-contented.

I know.
