[Love Me If You Dare]

[Episode 18]

The preparations are done.

2 a.m. tomorrow, Pier 4.

You can leave the rest to me.

We've been looking through the Hong Kong mafia database

based on the evidence provided by the Americans

and found three suspects who have a black lotus tattoo.

The one who fits most of our criteria

is this man.

People call him Old Cai.

He has a blood diamond business.

He deals in stolen jewelry and paintings.

We've suspected him for many things, but could never convict him.

What you're looking at is everything we have on him.

The police would prioritize catching someone like this.

Have you sent an undercover cop in?

That is the reason I asked everyone to come in today.

According to our insider, Old Cai hasn't imported

or exported many black market goods lately.

However, he's organized a secret departure from Hong Kong at Pier 4.

Seems like you're positive you'll get him this time.

People like Old Cai are cancerous to Hong Kong.

We might not be able to get him for anything else

but if we can connect him to the serial kidnapping and murder case

that will be good enough for me.

Organizing roundups is your area of expertise

so I have nothing more to add.

I just want to remind you that Xie Han has someone important to us.

Understood.

Who are you?

I am...

am...

Li...

You are Sculpture.

You are my creation.

Sculp... Sculpture.

Remember your song. Remember me.

Your creation.

I am... a creation.

Trust me. You will become more wonderful.

All groups in position. Stay concealed.

Target has arrived. Awaiting orders.

Here.

Old Cai. Do we leave at two?

The goods are here, but the man isn't.

We need to wait.

Okay.

Target hasn't shown up. Stand by.

Mr. Mei.

Target has arrived. Move!

Stop! Don't move!

Hands on your head. Get down!

It's not him.

Coast guard, coast guard, seal the ports. Stop all suspicious outbound ships. Over.

We've located the victim. Medical personnel, we need you here, over.

This isn't a dream, is it? Pinch me.

Get lost.

Get up and eat.

You need to make a statement later.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

You're one lucky guy.

Good people have good lives, as they say.

Don't be humble, it was all you.

Sit.

Why didn't he kill you?

I remember...

when you were solving the robot killer case, you said

serial killers with self control like him get their pleasure

from slowly tormenting their victims.

So I did the opposite.

I resisted allowing him to get any pleasure from me.

It was effective.

Although stupid.

What's going on now?

Do you know where he is?

According to Old Cai, the boat that blew up

was the one he prepared for Xie Han.

The boat sank.

They were unable to uncover DNA evidence from it

so we can't confirm if Xie Han is dead.

Don't worry about it.

Let Jin Yan deal with Xie Han.

Who do you want to come save you?

Your hero?

Is this what you want?

The most delicious, sensual thing in the world.

Nightmare?

Do you want me to hold you?

I just dreamt... dreamt...

Considering how scared you are, it must've been a ridiculous dream.

Don't think about it. Forget it.

Don't worry, I'm here.

Have you ever had nightmares?

I mean, after being tormented by Tommy.

The nightmares you speak of just came from my memories.

My mind exaggerating past fears...

It's a very illogical activity of the cerebral cortex.

Unfortunately, this weakness of the mind is present

in all human beings.

It is completely out of my control.

Can't you just say yes?

Yes, I've had nightmares.

Do you still have them?

I'm a criminal psychologist. You don't need to worry about me.

You're right. As terrifying as nightmares are...

they're just dreams.

I'm sorry for waking you up so early.

No. I'm not exactly unhappy about it.

I hate you. Go away.

Thank you, Mr. Li.

I'm sorry you have to spend so much time answering our questions.

Don't worry about it. I'm a cop as well.

This is my duty.

Dr. Qin.

How are we feeling today?

- Pretty well. - Good.

Officer Li, is everything okay? Officer Li!

Are your ribs bothering you?

If you need, we can up your pain meds.

Is that okay?

I'm fine. It doesn't hurt that badly.

The doctors in Hong Kong can't do this surgery?

They can.

However, he's been given copious amounts of neuropathic drugs.

Furthermore, the surgical site is located in close proximity

to the sensitive spinal cord area.

There are a lot of risks.

This Dr. Barnes specializes in these procedures.

If he's in charge of the operation, the success rate will be high.

I've already contacted him. He's agreed to take the patient.

However, due to his busy schedule, Mr. Li will have to be transferred

to the United States for the operation.

[Dr. Barnes]

[Centers and Clinics]

[Dr. Barnes Specialty: Surgery Dept]

[Certificate of Advanced Training in Colorectal Surgery]

No wonder he came so highly recommended from Dr. Qin.

This Dr. Barnes really is the best.

But Hong Kong has equally competent doctors.

And Li Xun Ran seems like someone who doesn't like burdening people.

Do you think he'll go to the States?

Xun Ran's been through so much. He should receive the best care.

It's my call.

Good girl. I like this proactive attitude. I'll go make the arrangements.

Where's Jin Yan?

I've already contacted New York's best rehab program.

I reserved a spot for you.

Yi Yang. You can stop using.

You must stop using.

The doctor says that your condition has stabilized.

Jin Yan has some questions for you.

Please answer them. Okay?

When did Xie Han first start interacting with you?

Xie Han?

That's Mei Jun Yuan.

Lin Yi Yang happens to have interacted directly with Xie Han.

We'll probably be able to get some useful info from him.

What do you want to ask me? You've figured out most of it anyway.

I haven't.

Jin Yan's extremely good with secrets.

He hasn't told me anything.

Yeah. But I'm not good with secrets.

I told Yin Zi Qi way too much.

She's his sister, it's not like she's a stranger.

Besides, you two were dating at the time, weren't you?

To me, we were. But to Yin Zi Qi...

I was just a pawn for her to get closer to Jin Yan. It wasn't serious.

I've told you everything I know.

I really didn't know that Mei Jun Yuan had other identities.

I didn't even know he was American.

All of our interactions took place in Hong Kong.

He never contacted you from America?

No.

Jin Yan!

Will Yi Yang be prosecuted?

He's a victim. It won't be a huge deal.

There are just some things he needs to smooth over.

His family lawyers will be able to handle it.

Jin Yan, he really didn't mean to hurt you.

But when you got close to Zi Yu...

that was on purpose.

Dad didn't want you to study criminal psychology

and then you didn't return home for three years.

I just wanted to make sense of my own brother.

Why can't you understand that?

Why are you looking at me like that?

It's just your average failed relationship story.

Everyone experiences it at some point.

The only thing that bothers me about it is it hurt Jin Yan in the end.

Regardless, I hurt Zi Yu.

He has a right to be angry.

Zi Yu stopped being angry a long time ago.

He wouldn't be so mad at you

if it weren't for the fact that he told you so much

which in turn led to Xie Han using those things against me.

You're mad at her because she hurt Jin Yan.

Jin Yan's mad at her because she hurt you.

Things are so complicated.

Honestly, I feel for Miss Yin.

Don't worry. She gets it.

Gets what?

That our anger is just on the surface.

She's his sister, after all. She's family.

I know Yi Yang's character leaves a lot to be desired.

But I really never knew that he used drugs.

I never expected any of this to happen.

Drug addicts have very obvious symptoms.

You never noticed anything?

Perhaps... you should start paying more attention to your fiancé.

- It's so far, such a hassle. - No it's not.

Jin Yan's already arranged your visa and everything.

I'll be going with you too.

Yao Yao.

Remember when you first started working for Professor Bo?

You didn't even want him to pay for something small.

But now, you depend on him to resolve everything.

It's not the same.

This is his investigation. And you're a key witness.

Shouldn't these things be his responsibility?

I suppose you're right.

The fact that you can trust and depend on him...

that's a good thing.

Then it's decided. You're going to the States.

I'm going to confirm everything with Zi Yu. No regrets.

- That depends on my mood. - Don't you dare!

There's something I haven't been able to figure out.

About Li Xun Ran?

Like I said...

His method was very stupid. But useful.

The killer's attitude toward men is to dominate and torture them.

Li Xun Ran completely denied him this.

What he did perhaps escalated his own torment

but it didn't allow the killer to dominate him, thus saving his life.

As long as he couldn't be dominated.

But his attitude toward women is different.

He hates women.

Any opposition only increases his desire to kill.

He wouldn't even take the time to enjoy torturing them.

The more dignified he appears, the more cruel he becomes.

So while he appears warm and easygoing, he'll kill a woman

the moment she triggers him.

Jian Yao, don't be afraid.

Like I said before, I will be by your side 24/7.

I've never felt more awkward.

Can you guys please...

[Yin Zi Qi calling]

What?

I sometimes don't pick up phone calls.

It sounds like he's insinuating something.

He had this reputation in college.

What was it?

He was known as someone who even picked up telemarketer calls.

[Yin Zi Qi calling]

Hello? What's up?

Calm down. Don't panic.

“Dear Simon, I'm preparing a gift for you. Hope you like it.”

You have absolutely no idea how these flowers got here?

I was asleep. They were there when Zi Qi came to wake me up.

I called you guys because I had a bad feeling.

Is it him?

He didn't die on that boat?

This isn't entirely surprising. I didn't expect he'd die so easily.

Objectively speaking, the only motive behind this action

is to taunt law enforcement.

If Xie Han were still in Hong Kong, he wouldn't need to use

such risky yet ineffective methods to threaten us.

- So I think-- - Professor Bo, what you're saying is...

He left before the incident.

And this is him announcing that fact.

It doesn't make sense.

How is this considered an ineffective threat?

If Xie Han can sneak in and leave a bouquet of flowers

he can also sneak in and kill Yi Yang!

That's obvious even without the threat. Why are you worried?

Why am I worried? I--

Miss Yin, don't worry.

Thus far, Mr. Li has not been harmed in any way.

So there are only two possibilities.

One, Xie Han never intended to kill him.

And two, right now Xie Han is only capable of sending flowers

and can't murder anyone.

No matter which possibility it is, it's not cause to worry.

That's what you meant?

Of course.

The fact that he didn't kill anyone today

doesn't mean that he isn't capable of killing anyone here.

Maybe he wants to send flowers today and kill someone tomorrow.

Xie Han is a psychopath for sure, but he's not that ridiculous.

I'm positive these flowers weren't brought by Xie Han personally

and we won't be able to trace them to anything useful.

However, we'll still get the crime unit on it.

Mr. Li, Miss Yin.

We'll need a statement.

I'll ask an officer to come over later. Thank you for your cooperation.

Understood.

What do you think the gift he's referring to is?

It's just psychological manipulation.

An undecipherable message...

meant to scare me

and put me in an anxious state of mind.

- We can't dance to his tune. - So we still go to America?

I think this gift must be there.

Kevin just called.

He said the bouquet and card were clean.

The only prints were your sister's and Lin Yi Yang's.

What about the person who sent it?

No. Not just that... I also took a look at the hospital's security footage.

There's no trace in any of the footage of that bouquet

being brought into Lin Yi Yang's room.

We all thought that Xie Han just hired someone random

to send those flowers.

But how did he leave no trace whatsoever?

Doesn't that mean if he wanted to kill Lin Yi Yang

without anyone noticing, it'd be possible?

Killing him isn't the killer's concern anymore.

I'm wondering about something else right now.

What?

They're in the same hospital.

If Xie Han wanted to prove that he's perfectly capable

of getting to the victims, based on his past choices

he should have chosen Li Xun Ran, not Lin Yi Yang.

But Li Xun Ran's room is guarded by cops.

It wouldn't have been easy.

You're right. But the Lin family also hired security.

It wouldn't have been easy to get in there either.

Saying it like that completely perplexes me.

It's just impossible to understand the mind of a psychopath.

Not understanding for now is fine, but if I never figure it out...

then I've lost.

Professor Bo. Where's Miss Jian?

The medical team needs to use a special route to the airport.

Miss Jian has already left with the patient.

Professor Bo, thank you for your help.

There would've been so many more victims if it weren't for your help.

Have you found out who died in the Pier 4 explosion?

I hope it was Xie Han.

Unfortunately, positive identity is impossible.

Old Cai definitely isn't Xie Han's only connection here.

His escape wasn't just luck.

We're still wrapping up the case.

After we've finished, I'll send you a copy of the files.

Kevin, can you help me with one more thing?

Go ahead.

Help me ship a friend of mine to America.

A friend? “Ship”?

My friend, Andy.

- Got it. - Thank you.

[John F. Kennedy International Airport]

Yao Yao, you go ahead.

Jian Yao's English is pretty good, but this is her first time here.

Stay with her, help her out.

You're not staying?

I can't.

What do you mean?

It appears that while we were flying

a lot of very unfortunate things happened.

[Federal Bureau of Investigation: New York Branch]

This was obviously a well-planned prison break.

First they hacked the security system, then cut the signal to the monitors.

Tommy takes advantage of that moment to escape from his cell.

Then he uses the uniform of a security guard and his ID

to break into the laundry room...

where he kills three prisoners and a security guard

before escaping through the drain pipes.

And nobody notices before the next shift, which happens a half hour later.

Wasn't a prison break supposed to be impossible?

I'm not sure what happened exactly.

He probably found a flaw somewhere in the system.

To accomplish all these things, Tommy needed two things.

The weapon that was delivered to his cell

and the code to leave the guarded area.

He most definitely had help from the inside.

Yup.

A Area Prison is a highly guarded prison

which enabled us to track down the mole within two hours.

Too bad it's too late.

Tommy's already gone.

Both the hacker and the mole received one million dollars

in their overseas bank account.

And on the way, we had to kill three mercenaries...

then arrest five others. All hired to help Tommy escape.

Whoever planned Tommy's escape was willing to do anything.

Strange.

But why in the world would he pay such a high price...

just to help Tommy escape?

Does he just want to say hi?

Or is he showing off?

No. We both know...

He isn't the type to do things without reason.

- Then Simon-- - He was the lead on Tommy's case

so he's already been brought to FBI headquarters in New York

You don't have to worry.

The FBI have asked the NYPD to secure this entire building.

It'll be fine here.

I remember you once told me...

Xie Han was Tommy's crime mentor.

Yes.

Could it be that he's going through all this

because this relationship is a meaningful one to him?

To Xie Han, Tommy isn't a student.

Nor is he an accomplice.

He's just another pawn in his game.

Psychologically speaking, Tommy is a failure to Xie Han

because he got himself arrested.

Tommy can no longer satisfy his needs.

Maybe...

Tommy has something on Xie Han he's not willing to give up.

What are you thinking?

Nothing.

Let's forget Xie Han's real motive

for orchestrating the prison break.

What we can confirm right now is that

he's already figured out a plan to keep law enforcement busy.

He has something big planned

and it's about to commence.

There's no way he won't directly involve himself in such a huge project.

So...

Xie Han will definitely return to the States.

Okay.

I'll inform immigration authorities, airports, ports, customs...

Until we find that bastard.

I've personally witnessed your abilities.

I'm sure that you won't miss a single person who enters this country

whether they fly, swim across the ocean

or dig a tunnel through Mexico to get in.

No one will be able to slip through.

This is going to be long and nasty.

Go and get some rest.

I'll let you know if we have anything.

Simon?

Is there anything you need to tell me?

Get some rest.
