Original subtitles

(One year later)

Hi, honey.

Dinner's ready.

While no one's looking,

"Yee goes to the secret door of the mansion alone."

What happened, honey?

Are you okay?

There was a loud crash outside.

Are you really okay?

I'll go take a look.

Don't be scared.

Dr. Yeung.

Detective Lam.

Sorry... I...

I accidentally hit your gate.

I'll get someone to fix it...

Have you had a lot to drink?

Anti-narcotics cracked a South American cocaine case.

Worth over $100 mil.

I was out celebrating with my guys.

I drank a lot...

You should go home. I'll help you park your car...

I can do it, I don't need you!

Next week, I booked...

Cabins 4, 5 and 7...

Me and the guys are going to Mission Hills for golf.

You're coming with us.

It's okay, Detective Lam. I'm not into golf.

Why is there blood on the front of your car?

When I was driving home,

a damn wild boar leapt onto the road.

Bang!

I'm sure I ran into it.

Fatty, what's wrong?

Fatty?

Come back.

Fatty! No!

Careful, honey.

No wind and not a drop of rain...

The Weather Observatory got it wrong again.

No way that typhoon could hit us directly.

A passing typhoon still brings three days of rain.

The weather report says it'll rain for these few days.

Don't worry about me.

Also, leave the gate alone.

I'll get it fixed when I'm back. But remember...

Stay away from the pool, right?

I know already.

Look at you, you're only away for two days.

You're such a nag.

I don't want to leave you at home alone,

that's why I'm being a nag. Get it?

Morning, Bo!

Go on, you're going to be late.

Okay, I'll WhatApp you after I land.

Bye.

Should I give you a few more minutes?

We have a flight to catch!

I'm sorry, Mrs. Yeung.

I got Dr. Ma's vacation schedule wrong

and made you come at such short notice.

It's fine, I prefer coming in early.

There's usually such a long wait!

Why didn't Dr. Yeung come with you today?

He's on a business trip.

Call from Suk-yee.

Are you chasing me for the manuscript again?

You snuck out while your husband's away?

I just came out to see the doctor.

I'm going home to write now, big shot editor.

Forget the manuscript.

Come have lunch with me.

Come over right now.

See you at the usual place, bye!

Has your friend arrived, miss?

Does anyone want to drink?

I'm so happy today! Drinks are on me!

She's here.

I'll walk to the table myself, thanks.

Sure.

What's going on? Why are you drunk already?

It's a celebration!

Of what?

My return to singledom!

Again?

You had another fight with your husband?

I'm for real this time.

I've already told him

to get the divorce papers signed tomorrow.

I'm not letting him win me back like the last two times.

Who is he sleeping with now?

He's changed his ways

and started pampering me!

He's taking me skiing in Switzerland this Christmas!

You're such a pain, sister.

When he treats you badly,

you suspect that he's sleeping around.

Now that he's treating you well,

you still think he's sleeping around?

Are you delusional or what?

There's a classic line from a movie:

"If you love someone, you must hurt him first"

"because guilt is the best way to maintain a relationship."

Men are scum by nature!

If they're not feeling guilty about something.

They'll never act devoted to you!

Look at your husband.

If it wasn't for what happened,

he wouldn't treat you so well, right?

(One year ago)

Hello, sweetheart?

Are you at home, honey?

Aren't you supposed to be in surgery?

The computer in the hospital went down.

I can't access my patient's file.

What are you going to do?

Good thing I left a hard copy at home last night.

Can you bring it to the hospital right now?

Fatty...

Fatty...

Fatty...

Fatty...

Fatty...

Fatty...

Fatty...

Fatty...

You gave Mommy a fright!

Are you okay, Mrs. Yeung?

Who are you?

Don't freak out. Let me explain.

Bite him, Fatty!

I'm not here to hurt you, Mrs. Yeung.

Calm down...

Stay back!

I'm not here to hurt you.

I wouldn't have saved you if I am.

Who are you then?

You don't know me,

but I know Dr. Yeung, your husband.

You know my husband?

A year ago, your husband saved my wife from cancer.

Our lives are indebted to him.

How did you get in here?

I pressed the doorbell, but no one answered.

I noticed that the front gate is damaged

and I heard someone cry for help,

so I rushed in.

Six months ago, my wife and I immigrated to Australia.

As you know,

the environment there is better for her recovery.

She's a lot better now.

I'm thankful for that.

Last week, I came back to Hong Kong

to sell off our home here

and pay Dr. Yeung a visit.

I'm sorry for being so rude.

What's your name?

My last name is Cheng.

I'm sorry, Mr. Cheng.

You don't have to be so formal, Mrs. Yeung.

Call me Mandel.

If I was you

and a strange man wandered into my home,

I might've killed him.

I wouldn't be chatting to him like this.

Say, when will Dr. Yeung come home?

He's on a business trip.

He'll be home tomorrow night.

Really?

I'm flying back to Australia tomorrow morning.

I guess I won't get to see him then.

What a coincidence.

I was hoping to chat with him.

It's getting late, Mrs. Yeung.

I should go.

Sure.

This is a souvenir from Australia.

It's not much, but I hope you like it.

Thank you.

It may rain later.

Take this.

Thank you, Mrs. Yeung.

- You're welcome. - Goodbye.

Give my regards to Dr. Yeung.

Fatty! You're such a naughty boy.

You should've protected Mommy from strangers.

You're sleeping out here tonight.

I'll come back for you in the morning,

okay?

Be good, Fatty, I'll get you in the morning.

Is anyone there?

Did you order takeout or what?

That's right.

What the hell?

I was ringing the doorbell

and banging on the door!

Do you know how long I waited?

Think you're all high and mighty?

Sorry about that.

How much is it?

$120.

One sec.

Check if this is the right amount.

It's fine.

I have to pee, miss.

Can I borrow your bathroom?

Come on, I can't hold it!

Wow, lady,

you've got this huge place to yourself.

Do you get lonely?

Why don't I keep you company?

Something's come up, I better go.

Why don't I keep you company?

Something's come up, I better go.

Stay away! Stay away!

Help!

Why did you come back?

Why, you ask?

Because your husband didn't save my wife.

He screwed my wife!

Help!

You're lying! You're lying!

How would you know?

You're blind! You're blind!

You can't see a damn thing!

Help...

Help...

Help...

Help...

Help...

Help...

Help...

Help...

Help...

Put this on.

Put it on!

Help...

Put it on.

Turn around.

Turn the hell around!

No!

Help...

Help...

Help...

Help...

Help...

Help...

Help...

All you women are the same.

You're all sluts!

(One year ago)

Hello, Mr. Chan?

You want to go over the insurance policy again?

Sure, I'll meet you right now.

Okay, bye.

Isn't it a bit late?

A client wants to talk about his policy.

When will you be home?

When the meeting's over.

Don't stay up too late.

Why are you still up?

You're not even in pajamas. Don't you have work tomorrow?

I was waiting for you.

I'm exhausted, I need a shower.

I'm not finished talking!

Who pissed you off this time? You're venting at me again.

What's with the doctor visits?

Why'd you search my things?

Don't answer my question with a question!

I'm doing the asking here.

Are you really sick

or did you just need an excuse to see him?

You're nuts!

I asked you a question! Answer me!

Answer me!

Are you going to tell me or not?

I saw everything.

That prick drove you home tonight.

I saw everything!

Don't I treat you well enough?

Why do you hurt me like this?

That's right!

I'm screwing him!

I'm cheating on you!

And it's your damn fault!

What does the report say?

My appetite's been good recently.

You have stage III lung cancer.

How much time do I have left?

There's no need to be pessimistic right now,

but the current location of the tumor

makes surgery

a risky proposition.

Aside from chemo and radiation therapy,

a foreign pharmaceutical company

recently developed a new drug.

It may be helpful in your case.

But the drug is still in trial...

And it's very expensive.

Yan...

Go home and talk it over with your husband.

Let me know what you decide to do.

If you have any questions,

call me at any time.

Okay...

Thank you...

Don't mention it.

We've known each other since college,

and we haven't seen each other in years.

I can't believe we met again as doctor and patient.

Is this what people call fate?

I'm sorry, Yan. I got here late.

Are you okay?

I'm fine, don't worry.

Really?

Let's go celebrate.

Hello, boss.

I've left the office for the day.

But I'm busy tonight...

All right, I'll be back right away.

Dr. Yeung, Mrs. Yeung.

Bye.

Yan...

You should really consider it.

This new drug may cure you.

So what?

I can't afford it.

My husband just got laid off.

We're pouring our savings

into the mortgage.

You know what people say,

"The poor can die, but they better not get sick."

Why don't you talk to your husband again?

I can handle my own problems.

Yan...

our top priority is finding a cure for you.

If we miss our timing,

you'll suffer the consequences.

No matter what happens,

I'm grateful for your help.

Wish me luck.

Wait.

I have a good relationship with the pharmaceutical company.

They need subjects for the clinical trial.

Why don't I try getting you a spot?

But you must know...

Taking part in a trial comes with risks.

You must understand that.

Thank you!

Why are you so good to me?

Yan...

Please don't leave.

That suitcase has been there all this time

and you didn't have a clue.

Stop lying to yourself.

All my life...

I've been an honest man.

For my family...

I worked my ass off.

I worked hard every day... 27-Dec-00

But that asshole boss

treated me like a dog.

I took it...

Because I had a home to pay off.

My wife complains that I'm boring...

That I'm dumb...

That I'm not romantic enough...

I took that, too,

because I love her.

I kept on taking abuse

until I didn't even know that I got used to it.

This world is full of scums.

You take a step back,

and they'll take one forward.

If you take another step back,

they'll stomp you.

It's true...

Bad guys wear belts of gold,

good guys die miserably.

It's true...

It's true...

The rich love to steal.

They steal people's jobs... Other men's wives...

Other people's happy lives...

How did the world turn out like this?

When did the world turn out like this?

I'm not letting you off the hook.

When your husband screwed another man's wife,

did he think how it'd feel if another man screwed his wife?

Why does he get the big house?

Why does he get the pretty wife?

Why does he get the good life?

Help...

Listen up...

Starting tonight...

I'm going to make him lose everything.

The game is just beginning.

Help...

Help...

Help...

Can I help you?

Where's Dr. Yeung?

He's on a trip.

Why are you looking for him?

Are the gifts for him?

Who are you?

I'm his cousin.

Him and his wife aren't here. I'm house sitting for them.

And you are?

I live next door.

When will they be back?

Not until next month.

That's a long trip.

That's why they asked me to houses it.

Why don't I take the gifts off your hands?

I'll tell them that you came by.

I just remembered...

I lent Dr. Yeung my golf clubs last week.

I'm playing golf in two weeks. I'd like to get it back.

But I don't know where he put it.

It's okay, I can get it myself.

I'm not sure if that's okay...

I'm sure it's okay.

By the way,

why did you bring gifts for my cousin?

I accidentally hit his gate with my car.

I wanted to make it up to him.

You're doing a good job house sitting.

It doesn't look like they've gone on a trip.

My cousin's a doctor.

He's usually quite tidy,

so I didn't need to do much cleaning.

Where's Fatty?

They took him to a pet hotel.

- Detective... - Don't call me Detective.

My last name is Lam.

Detective Lam,

do you know where the golf clubs are?

Last time I came, they were by the door.

But now they're not there.

Maybe it's inside.

Let's take a look.

This is such a spacious place.

Much bigger than my place.

I should've been a doctor

instead of a cop.

Have you played golf with Dr. Yeung before, cousin?

We should play together some time.

Yeah, we play at Mission Hills sometimes.

Really?

Come play with us if the time's right.

Sure, it's a date.

Whose room is that upstairs, cousin?

That's the master bedroom.

Master bedroom... Maybe my clubs are in there.

What's wrong?

My cousin locked the door.

I don't know where the key is.

Go look for it then.

That doesn't seem right.

There are personal items in the room.

It's just a golf club.

No need to make a big deal out of it.

Hello? What's up?

You need a fourth player?

You got too much money?

Feel like losing some to me?

Where? I'll be right there.

Piss off! See ya.

Sorry, cousin.

I have a mahjong game to get to.

No problem.

Let's play golf when my cousin's back.

That's a deal!

- I'll see you out. - Sure.

Have you played golf with Dr. Yeung before, cousin?

We should play together some time.

Yeah, we play at Mission Hills sometimes.

We're going to Mission Hills for golf.

You're coming with us.

It's okay, Detective.

I'm not into golf.

Keung, it's me.

I need travel records from Immigration.

The name is Yeung Yiu Wah.

Open the door... Open up!

I'll save you, Mrs. Yeung!

Do you want any?

Your sausages are delicious.

You rich people are such assholes.

You had to eat it anyway.

My husband's coming home soon.

If you leave right now,

I can pretend that nothing happened.

How can I leave?

I've killed a man.

I'm going to make your husband join the game.

No... No!

(Yiu Wah)

Hello, David?

What's up?

Bo isn't answering her phone.

That means it's done.

What, do you regret it?

It's your wife's fault for being nosy.

She knows too much.

Go home

and clean up the mess.

(One year ago)

The news says that this drug hasn't been approved yet.

It's banned in hospitals around the world.

Why is your clinic prescribing it to patients?

What kind of pharma company is this?

Why did it wire so much money into your account?

Calm down, honey. Let me explain.

Are you up to illegal behind my back?

I asked you a question.

I lost some money on the futures index.

I need money to make up for the loss.

David introduced me to the head of that pharma company.

I needed to work with him

to pay off that debt.

Do you know what you're doing?

It's a fake drug.

You're breaking the law, and you'll get people killed.

It's not a fake drug.

It just hasn't passed the trials. It's not ineffective.

What if there are side effects?

How can you live with yourself?

I had no choice.

Besides, it's made us a lot of money.

That means you'll keep selling it.

I just want a better life for us.

Is that so wrong?

You're breaking the law!

You're hurting people!

People won't find out so easily...

Unless you plan to turn me in.

What if I am?

Will you stop selling it?

You must be joking. Don't try to scare me.

Just try me.

You want to stop in three months?

Your wife's nuts.

Is she my boss now, too?

She's serious, man.

David, we've made a lot of cash in the last few months.

Why don't we take a break?

Sure, I'll get you a plane ticket.

Fly to South Africa and tell the pharma bosses yourself.

See what they'll say.

Remember to tell them that

if they don't let us quit,

your wife will snitch on us.

We'll all go down together.

You think I don't know what kind of men they are?

But my wife exposed me.

What can I do?

She's your wife.

You must have a way to keep her mouth shut.

If you can't take care of it,

I'll take care of it for you.

Think about it.

Or I'll handle it myself.

That's my wife!

You almost killed her!

The boss ordered this.

What's it got to do with me?

You know his temperament.

Your wife is lucky that she's alive.

What else do you want?

She just lost her sight, not her life!

At least the boss trusts us again.

He's willing to keep working with us.

Everything's fine now.

We're going to be rich, why get upset?

You made my wife blind.

I don't want this dirty money anymore.

You know too much.

You think the bosses will just let you walk away?

If I was you,

I'd focus on making more in the next few years.

Use your brain, Doctor.

Morning, Bo!

Bye.

Why'd you stop?

We have a flight to catch.

While you're away,

the boss will send someone

to get rid of your wife tonight.

I thought he's letting Bo live.

He's still worried that she'll snitch, so...

Hey, what's the point of leaving?

You can protect her now, but you can't protect her forever.

David, I beg you.

Can you convince the boss

to spare Bo?

Wah, men can't go soft when handling important matters.

We're best friends.

You think I haven't asked for mercy?

Between you and your wife,

I can only protect you.

You people are insane!

Now you're committing murder?

It's pricks like you lot that made this world such a dirty place!

You're all righteous now...

Don't be a sore loser.

When you were raking it in,

you didn't talk about how unfair the world is.

Besides, it's not that this drug

won't save anyone.

It just takes a while to kick in.

If there's no patient,

we doctors would be out of work.

I'm asking you one last time, David.

Will you call the boss and ask him to spare Bo's life?

If I call the boss,

I'll tell him to get rid of you, too!

How's that sound?

Look, Wah...

You can always get another wife.

The boss promised me that

the killer is a real pro.

Your wife won't suffer much.

Trust me, brother.

We have to get to the airport.

Get some rest. Go clean things up tomorrow.

The killer is a real pro.

Your wife won't suffer much.

Honey...

Honey...

Honey...

What's going on?

Who are you?

Why are you in my house?

You really don't recognize me?

Is it money that you want?

Let us go, I'll pay whatever you want.

All you talk about is money.

So what if you're rich?

That means you can screw a man's wife?

What? Whose wife?

You must've screwed a lot of men's wives.

I'm not surprised you've forgotten mine.

That's okay.

Good thing she's here.

Are you okay, honey?

(Yan Tong)

My wife.

Here she is.

Didn't see that coming?

She's dead.

You killed her, you bastard!

Hello?

Is anyone from Yan Tong's family there?

I'm her husband.

Please come to Ming Sum Hospital A.S.A.P...

Here she is, Mr. Cheng.

Doctor...

What happened to my wife?

The cancer has spread all over her body.

You need to prepare for the worst.

Mandel, by the time you read this,

it's likely that I'm gone already.

So many things have happened.

I don't know where to start.

"But there's one thing I need to say to you:"

I'm sorry.

I told you, don't come here without an appointment.

But I miss you so much.

I have good news.

I told him about us.

Why did you tell your husband about us?

What's the big deal?

He'd find out sooner or later.

Like I said,

there's no love between us anymore.

Now that you've moved out, what are you going to do?

I'm going to be with you, of course.

That's just what you want.

I never wanted it.

What do you mean?

We had fun.

There's no need to get serious.

Also, you can't possibly think that

I'll leave my wife for you.

I get it, your wife's blind.

You can't bear to abandon her.

You can keep taking care of her.

I just want to be with you.

It's okay with me, all right?

Get this through your head.

No matter what...

There's no one I love more than my wife.

What am I to you?

We're adults who had a bit of fun.

I sent this video to your wife.

She's known about me all this time.

It was the night of her accident.

That's when I sent it.

You think doing this

will tear my marriage apart?

Impossible.

Now that we've ruined this for good,

let's never meet again.

No...

I'm sorry...

I'm sorry...

You made me fall for you.

You brought me to heaven, now you're casting me back to hell?

Don't leave me.

- Don't abandon me. - Calm down!

This is a hospital.

Hospital? You screwed me in a hospital!

That was the past.

I'll tell you one more thing.

The pharmaceutical company is giving up on your drug.

You better find a new doctor.

That's all.

You can go.

"Mandel, I've made too many mistakes."

I'm not asking for forgiveness,

but if it's possible,

I hope you'll forget about me.

"I don't want you to stay unhappy because of me."

I'm cheating on you!

And it's your damn fault!

Mr. Cheng,

we tried to reach you all morning.

I'm sorry...

Your wife...

You killed my wife, you bastard!

Nothing could've cured your wife.

How is it my fault?

Maybe you didn't want to cure her!

What are you talking about?

Do you know what she died of?

The doctor said it was oesophageal cancer.

But you told her she had lung cancer!

Why?

You can't say it?

It's because of this damn drug!

It does nothing for her illness!

You just wanted her to be a lab rat

to test out your damn drug!

There were side effects! Why didn't you tell her?

It did nothing to cure her...

Then the cancer spread to her whole body!

Now you know what a scum your husband is.

He used these deplorable tactics

to sleep with my wife!

After you dumped her,

she came back to me.

She finally came back,

but I didn't forgive her.

I was going to torment her for life,

but you killed her!

Why did you take that away from me?

You like screwing other men's wives?

Now you can watch me screw your wife!

No!

No! Stop...

Help...

Stop...

Your husband did this to you!

Stop...

- Help... - Leave my wife alone!

Stop...

Stop...

Help...

Stop...

Stop...

Help...

Bo!

It's over. Bo.

Honey, it's over.

It's over.

How many people have you hurt?

Tell me!

I didn't hurt anyone.

I didn't hurt anyone.

You promised me that you'd stop.

I won't let you off the hook unless you stop.

What do you mean?

You'll call the cops on me?

Are you going to call the cops on me?

Emergency?

There's an intruder in my home.

I've killed the robber in self-defense.

He stabbed me...

and he killed my wife.

The address is...

18 Kowloon Peak.

Bo!

Bo!

Stop hiding and come out.

You can't get away.

It's true, honey.

I have a lot of women out there.

But have you thought about how we got here?

All this time we've been married,

you stuck your nose in everything.

I can't breathe at all.

I can't breathe!

That doesn't matter, though.

What matters is that you know too many of my secrets.

(One year ago)

I looked into the woman's identity.

She's your patient.

It meant nothing to me.

There's no love between us.

I'm just blind.

I'm not stupid.

I showed you the video

because I don't want to hear more lies.

What do you want then?

Promise me three things.

One,

put the house under my name.

Two,

give me 80% of your clinic's earnings.

Three,

you will never leave me.

And if I say no?

I've made copies of the video.

If you say no, it goes to Suk-yee.

You know how many friends she has.

"Famous doctor lusts after patients."

Once that goes out,

it'll hurt more than your reputation.

You'll be out of work for life.

Must you be this ruthless?

Did you think that I'd cry my eyes out

after getting that video?

Let me tell you something.

Knowing someone's secret

may bring me momentary joy.

But if I hold onto that person's secret,

I can control him for life.

Smile.

You're handsome when you smile.

Bo.

Knowing too much is bad for you.

In the next life, you better be deaf and mute.

You may get to live longer.

I have good news for you.

Your test results reveal that

you can now see blurred light and shadows.

In other words, your sight may get better.

Dr. Ma...

Can you keep this a secret

and not tell my husband for now?

Why?

I want to give him a surprise.

Why are you smiling?

Thanks, I can go see my wife now.

Smile.

You're handsome when you smile.

(Six months later)

How is it, big shot editor?

Any comments?

You put your own story on paper

and wrote it like a thriller.

This book is going to fly off the shelves.

That's a bit of a hyberbole.

But it's true that

writing has helped me a lot.

Focusing on writing these past six months

is how I kept my sanity.

I felt much calmer after writing it.

But, Bo...

after reading the novel,

I think I found a plot hole.

What is it?

Did David's assassin ever show up?

He showed up really early,

but I'm putting it in the end as an Easter egg.

Who was it?

Did you order takeout or what?

Something's come up, I better go.

Something's up, Boss.

Why is there a man in the house?

Is that explanation good enough?

Is it possible that it's someone else?

You can keep guessing,

but why don't we order dessert first?

Not until I figure it out!

Could it be the nurse at the clinic?

No?

It's really not the taxi driver?

I got it.

It must be the Uber driver.

He's the head of the pharmaceutical firm.

Did I get it right?

I'm not telling you.

No way,

you can't just tell me half the answers.

Fine, I'll keep guessing.

I'll figure it out.
