Memories are fragile.

Getting lost in them

may bring peril.

Faced with the unknown truth,

Humans necessitate the craving of truth,

the desire to know is irrepressible

Ouch!

Mom! You okay?

Godmother! You feeling alright?

If a choice were given...

Would you choose the brutal truth

or a sweet lie?

A girl attended her mother's funeral.

At the funeral,

she met a man.

He seems like a good match.

It was love at first sight.

Unfortunately, she was so busy that day,

before she was able to get his number,

the man had already left.

Two days later, she killed her sister.

What's her motive?

She wanted another funeral to meet him again.

No.

She found out that her sister

and the man conspired to kill her mother,

that's why she killed her.

It's impossible to guess!

That's just one of many possibilities!

Correct!

One can never be certain of the underlying truth of a story.

If the girl doesn't confess,

no one will ever know the truth.

Is this recently bought?

Just use it.

alright... it looks expired

Smells good.

You want a cup?

Just tweak the wrappings off?

How's the cooking?

Doesn't it smell good?

just like Godmother's cooking?

Why are you such a bad cook?

You never taught me.

I'm telling you,

this is the only day of the week I cook.

Usually I have a pistol in my hand chasing down bad guys.

Well... ever since we were kids,

we only eat together on Sundays anyways.

I dare you sis!

Try not to eat with us on a Sunday!

You've only been back in Hong Kong for a month,

I bet you didn't get home-cooked meals in the US.

Try!

Learn to cook.

What's the point?

Sooner or later, your husband will cook for you.

yah, all you do is eat.

Come on, have a try!

Another headache?

It's not the first time.

I'm alright. Long day at the hospital...

I've been having nightmares.

Hard to get a good rest.

Look at you.

Your cooking's improved.

I had no choice.

I've had to take care of mom since I was young

Hello?

I'm coming

I have to go.

Hey, who's that on your phone

Boyfriend?

- Stop it! - Where are you going?

Meeting a friend, do I need your permission?

Is having a family meal too much to ask?

I cooked you a meal.

What else do you want?

Whatever...

The less hassle, the better

Don't talk to your daughter like that.

If not this meal,

there'll be the next, some other day.

There isn't always a next time.

You should know that better than me.

Hey! What's wrong?

What's wrong? What happened!

Aaron, Nicole,

that's exactly how our big brother used to scare me

Come on, this isn't funny.

You scared?

You are in the memories of your 12-year-old self.

Is it the year mom passed?

Take it slowly.

Don't force yourself.

I've been gone for so long.

I'd like to get closer.

You hit your head on that night.

and you lost your memory after the impact.

How did I hit my head?

Go ahead...

Slowly...

Revisit your memories...

Go in

go in slowly.

Slowly... easy...

Mom!

Where am I...

Mom! You okay?

Don't wander too far.

Nicole...

Don't go any further.

Nicole...

Nicole...

I've been back in Hong Kong for so long,

but still haven't had the time to come back.

There was no need for that new apartment as a wedding gift.

I could have just moved back into our old house.

This place is running down,

we should have just sold it.

why did we even kept it.

This apartment is not for sale sir.

Bro, I think this is your cup.

Nicole, your postcard masterpiece.

Sister, why do you write such big characters to your big brother,

but tiny ones to me?

I spent a lot of time on the drawings I gave you.

Wow, I almost forgot how to use it.

Take more rest if you don't feel so well.

I finally recovered more memories thanks to you.

But that black shadow from childhood has been appearing more...

Do you think my tape recorder can be fixed?

Get ready!

Smile!

One sec.

You were so young.

Look at you now,

your dark, swarthy skin.

You always make fun of me.

Look at yourself,

roly-poly you!

Stop it.

I must have stayed under the sun...

Nasty food! Nasty food!

Let go...

Mrs. Ho! Mrs. Ho!

I'm Joseph!

Grandma, what on earth?

You guys are finally back?!

Here is a set of keys.

Your mother gave it to my grandma for housekeeping a long time ago...

She has Alzheimer's now!

Don't ask any more favours from us.

Also, please clean your own house...

Yes, what's up?

Alright, I'm heading back.

Where are you going?

May I ride with you to the bridal store?

Maybe not, then. Looks like I'm putting you off.

Going back to my office for a meet...

Perfect! I've got my bag already!

Bye, Mrs. Ho.

Let's go.

Bye, bro

Bye, Mrs. Ho

Mrs. Ho?

Bye, Mrs. Ho

Sorry, had a lot to deal with...

The bridal store...

- is about to close... - Hey, Willy!

Call me if something comes up!

This guy looks so familiar...

Don't mind him. He's a nobody.

Give way, police.

Two cases this month already.

Sir

You go tell our guys,

keep the reporters outside. No photos.

Lau.

Are the forensics here yet?

In ten

999 received a call at 2:38 p.m.

- Doctor, - Paramedics arrived at the scene

how's my husband?

and found a bloody aperture in Luk Tze Yee's right side of neck.

- The surgery - She had no pulse

- didn't go well. - and wasn't breathing after examination

and was confirmed dead...

The cancer cells in Mr. Lam's body have spread to his spine.

...Senior Inspector Aaron Lau reported this case as a homicide...

He... will...

he'll continue his treatment...

Ouch!

How are you feeling?

Sit up straight first!

My spine is in pain!

Are you okay?

It'll all go away after you take your meds

lie down first.

Wait, feels better like this.

More comfortable, is it?

Would you like some chocolate?

Well, look at you, feeling better?

You like it?

Chocolate does wonder.

Back in the days, I had five colleagues

who were tasked to arrest a serial killer from a building.

Upon arrival, they initiated an emergency evacuation with a gas leak as pretext

to clear the building of its residents.

But the killer made them out right away.

He knew they were after him.

So he walked to a drawer and said he needed his wallet.

What he really was going for was a gun.

Then, the killer's mom came out from the room

and asked her son:

Why are so many police officers at your door,

what happened?

I'm worried sick son.

The killer then told her:

Nothing. A gas leak.

We need to clear the building.

The suspect finally grabbed his wallet.

He was escorted away by the officers.

Right beside the police car,

he said

You should all thank my mother, for your lucky day

The officers were confused, why should we thank your mother?

The killer said to all the policemen:

If my mother hadn't walked out,

all of you, would have died today.

I can't kill in front of her.

I just can't...

That's it.

This case tells us

that a cold-blooded murderer

was eventually stopped

by the mere presence of his mother.

That means

his care and emotions towards his mother

saved the five policemen that day.

Emotions can kill...

but at the same time, emotions can also save lives.

Happy Birthday Mom!

When you get better,

we'll go together as a family!

Brothers! Mom has something for you!

You insane?! How am I supposed to have that much money?

Don't you think you should also bear a part of it?

Why should I pay for all the treatments and surgeries?

not a dime from you?

Can you be responsible? You're a grown-up!

Responsible?!

Like you're doing good enough

Where were you when Dad was at the hospital?

Have you ever showed your care?

Do you know the state he's in now?

His cancer had reached his spine!

Only mom looked after him, where were you!

Stop pretending!

I have to work!

Work?

You? All you do is be with your girlfriend.

Got the money to travel, but none for your dad's medical bill.

An entire year,

you're only home for Mid-autumn Festival and Spring Festival.

Where are you for the rest of the time...

Such a good daughter you are...

No head injuries...

Neck strangulation marks...

Death by a butterfly knife.

This woman had a lot of debts.

Such a large amount,

and yet, she paid it off in three days.

My job is to find the cause of death...

We're almost done.

Have a seat.

I'll leave the rest to you Lau.

Female,

mid 40 years old,

neck strangled.

Strangled...

Nicole...

Use the tape recorder...

Keep track of what's happening every day...

Remember that mom loves you very much.

Mom will miss you so much.

Nicole... Nicole...

Nicole...

Help...

Don't leave me.

The less hassle, the better...

Nicole!

Are you okay?

Nicole!

What's wrong?

Nicole is having hallucinations.

She saw godmother, strangled 15 years ago...

Mom didn't die of natural causes.

She was murdered.

Don't worry. I'll take care of her.

Okay, stay in touch.

Let's go home first

"Absurd Psychology"

"Mind-boggling Self-manipulation"

Why are we back again?

Where is Will?

I'm a grown-up, don't worry.

Clean up now!

Stop it! Can't you just leave me alone?

How does retirement home sound?!

Hey!

You bumped into her.

Apologize!

- Say you're sorry! - It hurts!

What's wrong with you!

Disrespecting your grandma!

None of your business.

Do you know what I've been through?

I'm exhausted because of her!

I'm warning you, leave me alone.

- Where are you going? - That's enough!

Exhausted!?

Was your grandma exhausted when she raised you?

She's nagging you out of pure care and concern.

And you?

Have you shown her that you care?

Mrs. Ho, are you alright?

hurts...

Are you injured?

Let's take you to the hospital.

I'm fine

You...

Your inhuman

Terrifying.

A monster.

Horrible.

Thanks mom! Can I take the tape recorder to school tomorrow?

Bro...

I miss mom so much.

I miss her too...

My intuition tells me, she was murdered.

Mom passed away because of cancer.

The less hassle, the better...

were echoing through my memories.

So you suspect...?

Hadn't Will come back home earlier than you that day?

I've told you many times,

Mom was not murdered.

"William Fan"

"Loan Acknowledgement Note"

What the hell?

What's your gut instinct?

It's absurd...

Sometimes the truth is absurd indeed

You've been this stubborn since you were a kid...

Dad had borrowed a lot of money from a loan shark back then

and disappeared from our lives.

William had an urge to gamble,

but he will never hurt anyone in the family

I remember our family was in deep debt.

Without you and Will, we'd still be in debt.

Fortunately, mom had life insurance.

We made it through tough times thanks to it.

Otherwise, you couldn't have studied abroad.

I found the Note of borrowing from Keith Li the loan shark.

When mom passed,

Will had the money to pay off his debt instantly.

That Note doesn't prove anything.

Joseph,

William and I are not your biological little brother and sister,

but through all these times you've taken good care of us,

of this family,

It's not easy.

Bro, after you've smoked,

let's grab something to eat.

Here!

Catch!

Okay?

Go check on bed number two.

Uncle Lam

Doctor,

Much better now!

Where's Mrs. Lam?

She's back home.

I sent her away.

Such an arduous journey to visit me everyday.

Too tiring...

Being able to see you, take care of you.

It's what makes her happy.

She's cooking my favourite dishes

and bringing them to me every day.

I said stop, there's no need to do this for me

I can have the hospital meals.

Although we all know how bad hospital meals is,

But to me,

they all taste the same, no differences really...

Chocolate... this is something else!

It's sweet, feels good.

That's why every time when Mrs. Lam comes

she would bring you chocolates

I wonder... where do people go when they pass away?

Will they be able to see what has happened in this world?

Don't say that!

Mrs. Lam would be sad if she heard it.

What's the big deal?

Everyone will leave this world eventually

All I wish is for her to be happy for the rest of her life...

no matter how long the journey may be.

Someone there to take care of her

to love her.

Then I'll rest in peace

Your children will take care of her too.

Those two critters...

All parents in this world are the same,

we know what our children really wants and need.

And as parents,

we have to accept the facts, to see reality for what it is

and embrace who they are.

This is best for everyone.

Uncle Lam...

if that moment comes,

would you want your wife, son and daughter to be by your side?

If I had them by my side,

they wouldn't let me go.

If I had them in sight,

I wouldn't want to go.

All gathered,

sobs and cries all around,

all this tear-eyed spectacle...

I'd rather do without it.

I'll make no decision on this,

and let nature run its course.

Why that frown on your face?

At your age,

it is the best time of life.

Cherish every moment.

Try some of this chocolate.

Enjoy the sweet taste,

smile and be happy.

Try it.

Thank you

Hello, Kam Yin Finance Co. Limited.

Hi, I'm looking for Keith Li.

Keith, there's a call for you!

Wait a second

Keep it simple! The less hassle, the better.

Wait a second, Willy.

Let me answer this.

Hello...

There's no one...

Let's finish our discussion inside, shall we?

This game concerns the number seven.

Have the number seven in your heart.

One, two...

Aunt

Three, four, five, six...

- Eight, nine, ten. - Sister, it's our brother's birthday today.

Come here, wish him a happy birthday.

We're in the middle of a livestream.

- My beloved sister - Happy birthday!

Thank you

What's up?

Don't be like that, today is your dad's birthday.

I'll be right back...

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday to Joseph

Happy birthday to you

Don't drink so much!

I made a phone call two days ago.

Why did you call him?

Back in the days, caring for mom was a big burden,

wasn't it?

Those years...

Those years I made a bit of money here and there,

and I borrowed money,

but I still didn't have quite enough.

Sister, there were some things

that I had no choice but to do.

Back then I borrowed money,

I used it for investment.

If not, how could we have footed those medical bills for mom.

Was there not a moment during those years

when you saw mother as a burden?

Don't be stupid! We only have one mom.

How could you think like that, silly!

My sister is back? What nonsense you're talking about.

Don't mess with me

Eight million?

Why don't you make it a bit less?

We've worked together for so many years,

Is there any room for negotiation?

Keith, you've got some serious guts!

Asking me for money again,

all because of that incident 15 years ago.

Of course, how can I say no.

Okay.

The same place as usual.

Bring me Keith Li.

I want him there tonight.

Period.

Damn him...

Will, what do you want?

There are things

that should be hidden and buried for a lifetime.

You really think that giving me a bribe back then

and helping me to do some business these years,

then you can walk all over me now?

You think by beating me up

you can cover up that incident!?

You're even more naive than before.

No one can escape the past.

Our lives are decreed by fate,

what will happen will happen.

Will! Are you insane?

Don't keep raising new issues!

His using that past incident to blackmail us.

Will.

as long as she doesn't know

then nothing ever happened!

Inspector Lau

I ask you here

Not to lecture me

You want to protect him?

Sure!

You can protect him tonight,

but what about tomorrow night?

And the night after that?

Will, I'm telling you this once again.

If you carry on,

then none of us will be able to correct our mistakes.

And are we able to correct our mistakes?

Hey! you're a reporter?

Give it to me.

Jacob!

Aunt, what's wrong...

Aunt?

She just rushes into the bathroom, I don't know what happened.

Nicole, why don't you open the door.

What happened?

Please open the door.

Aunt, are you unwell?

Hey, it's me. What happened?

I just followed Will outside...

Follow me? I was in bed.

Why don't you come out first sis.

I saw everything.

Why is Keith Li there?

Why was Lau there too?

What secret is it that you want to keep hidden for a lifetime?

Nicole...

What strange nightmare did you have?

What did you see?

Big brother...

It wasn't a dream...

From Will made that phone call, till he went outside.

I followed him all the way.

but you have been asleep next to me...

It was not a dream...

What really happened 15 years ago?

Why is it none of you ever want to say anything?

Why is everything completely different

from what I remembered?

Nicole...

What's wrong? Why are you crying?

What happened?

Don't be like this.

Have I ever been awake at all?

4 dollars 2 cents, 20 million call.

5 dollars 2 cents, 50 million call.

William.

Good.

Nick, you alright?

Lau, that guy seems to be suspicious.

I'll go over and ask him a few questions.

Do you want to go and ask the woman, or that man?

Something wrong with the woman, too?

I'll go and ask them both!

Wait,

you've already checked on a dozen passers-by this morning.

Why don't you finish your noodles first?

How do I know he's not a bad guy without interrogating?

Isn't that right?

The Butterfly Knife case needs to be continued, right?

Hey! sir! you can't park there!

Nicholas,

You're a plainclothes officer.

Let the uniformed cops give out citing tickets.

If you enjoy giving out citing tickets,

then I can help you apply to be a uniformed cop again.

If this isn't the case, then continue eating,

If this isn't the case, then continue eating, Okay?

Hey, let's go,

the Butterfly Knife case has a new lead.

Calm down, keep a clear mind.

We still haven't finished our analysis,

you would be an idiot to go to the scene now.

What's important is

without eating up you won't have the energy to investigate the case.

So eat up.

By the way...

Mom was murdered,

I saw someone strangle mom by the neck 15 years ago.

Do we need to investigate Ms. Fan's case?

I investigated it 15 years ago,

and the deceased is my godmother.

I refuse to let her death be a mystery,

The court ruled the case as a natural death back then

meaning there is no need for further investigation.

Eat your noodles!

Well... sorry to say it,

But we got to go,

we have a case.

Bill, please

Should I wait for you to finish?

Let's go.

Not wasting food.

Stay safe.

I know, big brother.

Careful.

I'll be careful.

Bye.

Okay. Bye.

Nicole?

What are you doing down here?

It's very late.

Have you had dinner?

Miss?

Why are you wandering around?

Can I help you?

Nicole,

Where's mom? Is she missing?

Trust, the foundation of all relationships.

Who would like to try?

Slowly, don't rush...

Don't worry...

Walk slowly... be careful...

Go forward...

Sense your surroundings. Move forward slowly...

Go on...

Go on...

Forward...

Okay, stop.

To the left...

Forward...

Forward... forward...

Wait. Now, stop!

A little more to the right...

Forward...

Don't rush... slowly...

Trust me...

Slow down... forward...

Slightly to the left...

Slower...

It wasn't a dream that night.

It was real.

Will was really there.

For the next 15 minutes,

I will keep an eye on you.

If anything happens,

I will bring you back.

You are getting lost

in the vortex of your memories.

Your memories are fragmented.

Just go forward, forward...

Forward deep into your memories...

William Fan!

One more month to pay Keith.

Your dad's debt included, total of three sums to pay, with interest!

One more month?

Then there's still time. No need to be so rough.

We need to earn our bread,

so what's wrong if we grab a few crumbs of interest.

Get out of our home!

We have a policeman in the family.

Go... now!

You little shit!

hands off!

I don't have the money.

How would I have the money?

This is for gambling!

Are you going to gambling now?

Will?

I saw mom.

I remember now that on the day she passed away.

Will was there!

Not a chance.

That should be a faceless shadow that's haunting you.

Not Will.

You must be wrong.

Will...

Really was Will.

Don't get closer.

Stay away

That shadow was Will.

Don't get closer to it.

Will!

I'll talk to you later,

but I need to send her home first.

I will call her husband too.

Mr. Fan, your sister is 10 weeks pregnant.

Her doctor just said

that she must stay well rested.

Her condition is stable now,

but things may still change.

She is too fragile and cannot overcome with more stress.

It will bring harm to her and the baby mentally and physically.

Loyalty.

Devotion.

Absolute Dedication.

Loyalty

is not the reason for you to harm my family,

nor is the reason to kill.

Loyalty means

you should never betray.

I didn't betray you.

I did everything for you.

For that woman's crime of embezzlement,

I finished her for you.

What have I done wrong?

Yes, I owe you my life since you saved me since young,

so you can take it any time.

But it's not fair.

Everything I do is for you.

Will,

You have never spoken about your family to your gang.

So how would I know that's your sister?

Every action has a consequence

there's no going back.

Some demons may haunt you for a lifetime.

Whether you can avoid it or not,

only fate will tell.

We've checked out of the hospital,

and we are on our way back.

Bro...

even with my fragmented memory,

I can tell that Will was up to no good.

Your memory is in disarray.

Will couldn't be the killer.

Mom was not murdered.

If the loan shark had so much trouble with us

why is Will still in business with him all these years?

That night at the pier,

Will, Keith and Aaron were plotting to hide something from me.

Nicole...

Due to the pregnancy,

there will be dramatic changes, physically or mentally.

Accomplice!

Nicole!

Don't overthink it, alright!?

Please take care of yourself!

Tell me the truth then!

I've never wanted to doubt any of you!

But what are ya'll hiding from me!

Listen, the reason you feel so guilty

is because you've lost that piece of memory

when mom passed away.

Likewise,

At her last moment,

none of us were there...

So don't beat yourself up,

Nicole!

It's not the same for me.

I can't remember that moment

when mom passed away,

even though I know I was right there

I have the right to know,

did she even mention me when she left...

Nicole!

Joseph just called.

He asked me to watch out for you.

Everyone is worried. Let's go back, shall we?

Get away from me!

Nicole, Nicole!

Listen to me.

Let's go home

Since when did you smoke?

Nicole, listen to me.

I can only tell you

that I mean you no harm.

Nor do Joseph and Will.

Did you mean any harm to mom back then?

Everyone is lying!

Will even sent his people after me.

It was you who covered my mouth that night.

Nicole, let me explain!

Okay.

I promise you

Will has your best intention in mind.

He will never hurt you.

Let go of what happened 15 years ago!

You already know the truth.

Godmother died of natural cause,

there's no point for further investigation.

Careful, it's hot.

Cooking congee requires skills.

It was such an effort to teach my grandson

to cook good congee, you should follow my recipe,

and getting the temperature right.

Adding salt and oil, right?

It won't mix well.

Mrs. Ho, it seems your in a good spirit today.

As a family, we don't hold grudges.

Although there is a generation gap,

us old folks,

I know it is never easy to take care of us.

Mrs. Ho,

I am here to ask you about Joseph...

I should thank you

for getting some sense into him last time.

But when it comes to your brother Joseph,

I don't know where to begin...

What are you doing?

You might as well count how much you've lost.

Don't expect me to clean up after you

whenever you lose in gambling.

I'm tired too, and I don't have much to spare.

The doctor made it clear.

We need to pay in full

before they do the surgery for mom.

You think I'm gambling for fun?

I'm doing it for mom, and the family.

For mom?

- For the family? - Where have you been then?

Have you ever been bothered to get home at all?

You are never home either.

You lost all the money in gambling,

and mom needs it for the surgery.

Come on, have some congee.

Just eat some, mom.

Come on, mom. There are still meds to take.

I just want you to eat something.

Is it so difficult, mom?

What's wrong with you?

Why don't you just eat some.

You think it is painful for you,

what about me?

I have to deal with a lot at work.

When I come home, you're like this.

You bastard!

what on earth do you want!

Don't cry.

What are you crying for?

Can I cry, too?

You know what, you are such a burden,

an insufferable burden!

You miserable old hag,

don't make my life worse...

Two months pregnant.

There was haemorrhaging the last time.

haemorrhaging, how would this happen?

What did you do?

There was no choice.

I don't care how skilled you are in hypnotism,

you messed it up this time.

Besides,

can she even go through hypnotism

during her pregnancy?

I don't think it is good for any of us

if we continue to keep the secret.

What then?

You must be kidding me.

I just don't know why she couldn't just give it up.

Do you know why she became like this?

Does it matter?

The point is we should never tell her what happened that night.

What matters is that

her pregnancy is in stable condition.

The point is

we abandoned her by denying her from the truth.

Have we!?

Will, Joseph is right.

Hello?

Sure.

I'll be ready in ten.

What's up?

Another meeting?

Professor?

Abandon?

How dare you!

I have never turned my back on anybody!

Unlike you.

Will!

You were like this when your wife was ill weren't you?

Where were you when she was sick?

How dare you ever mention "abandon" to me.

You were the one that turned your back against us.

If you really loved mother,

you wouldn't have given up on her back then

when she was ill.

If you loved your sister,

you would never send her abroad to study.

Do you know why, brother?

Because we are not from the same mother!

Joseph!

Joseph!

Abandon, it makes so much sense you know

Because the only person you care about is yourself!

Regret...

My biggest regret

is sending Nicole abroad.

I gave up on things I shouldn't have.

Now I am not losing anyone else!

Nicole has been away for 15 years.

We neglected her needs and feelings,

and thought that by giving her a better identity and memory...

That's water under the bridge now.

There's no turning back now.

The less hassle, the better.

Memories should not be tarnished.

It has been 15 years.

It's a burden we carry everyday.

I don't want to be alone on Sunday.

Neither do I.

You are in bed now,

with your head comfortably on the pillow.

Darkness is approaching,

Darkness is approaching,

that familiar dark shadow may be lurking.

This shadow represents danger and peril.

You should avoid it.

Hide away... escape

Okay?

Please arrange MRI for No. 7.

Blood test results are fine, other indicators, too

Arrange the check-out for him.

Okay, I will send you the report later.

Morning Doctor Fan. Morning Doctor Li.

Mrs. Lam

You are early today.

I've made congee for my husband.

See you later.

I am going to the other room to check up on the other patients. Will you come too?

Don't work too hard.

Even if you don't need rest, your baby will need it.

Brian! Brian!

What's the matter?

What are you doing?

You promised to love me for a lifetime.

If you are gone, who will be here for me?

Brian...

Sorry, I won't leave you

Dear Aaron,

I miss those days where we get together with mom

for dinner every Sunday. Please take care brother.

Much love

Nicole

Time gets blurry

when you're sprinting towards the top.

It was not the same case for your brother.

I remember when we were young,

I saw a cockroach and cried.

I knew you were scared to death too,

and you could have just left it there.

But you knew I would be too frightened in bed,

so, you conjured up the courage to kill it.

I really miss the old you.

The distance between us is growing.

At least back then, I always knew you had my best intention in mind.

Nicole,

You are my sister, we're blood.

I always had your best intentions in heart.

You know Mr. Lam?

He and his wife both knew he didn't have much time left.

But Mrs. Lam comes every day.

Because she understands

The importance of being with your love ones

and every single passing second is precious.

I was robbed of my final memories with mom.

I was robbed of my final memories with mom.

I understand.

When humans are curious about the truth.

We will persist in our pursuit of it.

It's human nature.

But what will the truth bear?

What if,

The truth is too hard to bear,

What if bearing such truth kills a part of your innocence.

The truth hurts, but it doesn't kill.

Lies may please, but it doesn't heal.

The less hassle, the better.

I disagree.

It's in the past already,

There's no point chasing a unicorn down the rabbit hole.

Nicole... Nicole!

The heart rate of the baby is not stable.

and your sister is not in a good physical state,

if there are anymore excessive stressors,

the baby will be in danger.

and in the worst case

we might lose the mother also...

Please take good care of her.

Are you awake sleepy head?

I'm up.

I'm not asking you.

I'm asking our little baby.

Hey, sweetie, listen to me.

You need to make sure mom is happy.

If she is not, then you are in big trouble,

then I will be in bigger trouble.

What about you?

Assigning tasks to the baby.

What will you do then?

Me? I have plans...

After you check out of the hospital,

I'm going to take you to surf.

Mr. Taylor Yu,

we're not back in California. What are you talking about?

Let's go back to LA

A place with sunshine and beaches,

where we can go surfing in summer,

hiking on the trails in autumn,

and skiing in winter.

When you are hungry,

we can have one of your favourite burger,

or I can cook for you.

I'm such a good chef now.

Most importantly, I want you to be happy, Okay?

Okay.

Hong Kong Observatory forecasted the potential hoist of

No. 8 Gale or Storm Signal from 10:00 pm to midnight.

Why won't you pick up dad?

Strong wind, heavy rain, and thunderstorms

are expected in the coming few days.

Special News for today:

Mr. William Fan, president of Chek-sang Stock Investment Co., Ltd.

was arrested earlier.

Uncle Will?

He turned himself in

and claimed to be responsible for 3 suspicious deaths,

including the murder of his own mother Margret Kung 15 years ago,

as well as the Butterfly Knife serial murders.

What's going on?

Dad was acting weird when I left home.

There were also some reporters outside of our house.

Professor Fan

Can you say something?

Everyone, calm down.

Do you hate your brother for what he did?

Please.

Be careful.

Please say something.

Professor Fan

Give us some privacy please

What's going on?

The truth will be revealed shortly.

Remember,

let my voice take lead.

Let your senses take over.

Take in everything I say.

A flight of stairs will appear.

Step by step,

The truth will unravel.

Remember...

The hands tightly clasped around mother's neck,

they were my hands.

It was me, who killed our mother.

The burden of taking care of our mother.

Just because I carry it all so well doesn't mean it's not heavy.

I pushed you and you fell.

That's how you lost your memory.

I didn't have the courage to tell you the truth.

And in the end we bribed the loan shark.

And we kept the truth from you.

This is the truth.

Today, I confess to my crime of killing my mother 15 years ago.

My brother William is innocent.

He has been covering up for me for all these years.

It was me who made my sister Nicole living in fake memories.

Today, I would like to pay for all my crime.

Further investigation will be carried out by the Homicide Division.

As the first police witness on the scene,

you are temporarily suspended

for the concealment of evidence.

When you are under internal investigation,

hand your cases to Nicholas.

The renowned psychologist Professor Joseph Fan

and Mr. William Fan, president of Chek-sang Co., Ltd.

have both confessed to be the killer of their mother Margret Kung 15 years ago.

Who could have guessed that?

Hypocrites!

All gone.

All his social accounts are blocked.

If we think about it again,

how horrible it is

to be hypnotised by your own brother

and have your memory altered.

The one who hurt you the most is often the one you trust the most.

15 years ago,

my brother William was in debt to Keith Li.

He was cornered at home by a debt-collector.

Keith Li asked for double interests.

Will and I went downstairs to give Keith the interest.

They asked us to clear all our debts,

including our father's, within 3 weeks.

I was the first to be back home.

When consumed by emotions, it pushes us over the edge.

How helpless it feels

to see someone you love the most in agony?

You've suffered long enough.

I'm sorry, Mom,

I did what I had to do

for you,

and for myself.

I committed a crime 15 years ago,

there's no turning back.

I wish I could have taken the pain off your shoulders.

Mom, I'm sorry.

The lie I told birthed an infinite permutation.

The line of morality is usually blurred.

We are all human,

There is nothing I wouldn't sacrifice for my family.

There is nothing I wouldn't sacrifice for my family.

Aaron,

The real Butterfly Knife killer turned himself in early this morning.

It turns out that William is innocent.

It is Jacob Man, his subordinate.

In short, the charge of William Fan for Butterfly Knife case is dropped.

Then why did he admit it? What was he thinking?

His brother Joseph Fan turned himself in after him.

I am really confused.

Actually, I'm already suspended

Take it easy.

It is either work or holiday.

Just pretend you are having a holiday.

It's what you taught me, right?

What are you doing?

It's just chilli oil.

Things get complicated if you think too much.

Sometimes you shouldn't think too much.

Just go ahead if you want to do something.

Extra spicy for you?

Yes, thank you

"October 2006"

Mom, it's Okay... it's Okay.

Mom... mom...

Mom...

Mom...

Nicole,

I may not be your blood brother,

but I see all of you as my loved families.

I don't want anything bad for any of you.

Nicole,

I didn't tell you the truth,

because I had a promise to keep.

Family should watch out for each other.

I hope you don't blame any of us.

But I can tell you,

the truth will be

too brutal for you.

So, it is up to you

whether to listen to this tape or not.

What's the matter, Nicole?

Joseph, don't tell me you have forgotten!

It's Sunday today, we're having our weekly family meal!

Sure, let me help you.

Let's move the table first.

Hey, Mister,

didn't Will say he would come home earlier for dinner?

Yes, he must be gambling now.

When Aaron comes back,

I will ask him to teach Will the little bastard a lesson.

You are late again.

You must have had dinner already.

William Fan,

let's go.

We won't be long.

Watch out for mommy for a while,

Okay?

Nicole...

C... come here

H... help me

Help... me...

Mom, it's Okay

Please...

Mom...

your brothers...

Hold it... for me... I'm too weak

...mom...

Mom...

Mom...

Nicole! Nicole!

Are you with us, mom?

Did your sister kill your mother?!

Shut up, Keith!

What can we do now?

The less hassle, the better...

The less hassle, the better!

The less hassle, the better!

Hello? Aaron.

is mom...

During my 6-month internship in the hospital,

I learnt a great deal.

Doctor Li told us

There's only three months left...

Three months, can be eternity.

Three months,

I will be there with you every step of the way.

Passing through all the seasons of my life.

You can not deny entropy.

In the end,

it's not the years in your life that count.

It's the life in your years.

Our bloodline is sealed by serendipity.

The absurdity of life cannot be comprehended in the absence of love.

Life sure has a cruel way of showing us how precious it can be.

We tend to take things for granted.

We rage against the laws of entropy in life,

but in the end we cannot bend the universe to our will.

All we can do is affirm our presence in the universe through our expression of love.

Are we willing to

let the ineffable nature of love hold us back?

Look at the way you looked when you were a child.

Look at you now,

with your dark, swarthy skin.

You always make fun of me with the old photos.

Take our children as an example,

whatever that they do,

They shall always be our son and daughter.

As we travel down our path,

we become a custom to everything that surrounds us.

and slowly we will understand not only

the whole of life is

but a journey to death

Mom, what are you doing!?

Everyone has the same ending.

we choose our own path and experience the differences through the journey.

Mom...

Mom...

Forgive me for being stubborn in bringing out the truth.

My dear brothers,

thank you so much.

Please remember, next Sunday,

and the ones that follow,

continue to get together for dinner.

Happy Birthday, mommy!

Check the backside.

I've drawn the Pink Lake of Australia there.

When you get better,

we should go together.

William! Joseph!

Mommy has something for you.

Ready!

Everyone, cheese.

Okay. Done!

That's it. Let's go.

The sun is too strong.

Let me check if anyone blinked.

It's alright. Trust me!

Let's go. We need to take care of mom!
