A BODY FOUND! COME NOW!

Officer, the director of the mental hospital is here.

- Thanks a lot! - Not at all.

We're very grateful for you coming to provide information.

- It's my duty. - Have a seat.

Aright.

Thank you.

I double-checked.

Mai Zhihong, in 1996,

definitely never left the mental hospital.

I was his primary doctor back then.

I'm sure of it.

We'd like to ask you about something else.

Back then, the judge sent him to Siu Lam.

Why was he transferred to the mental hospital?

In Siu Lam, after serving his sentence,

a welfare officer assessed him and deemed him fine.

Then, he was sent our way.

Did he apply for the transfer?

Siu Lam has always been a high-security facility.

The rules there are very strict.

It's mainly for criminals with mental illnesses.

Our hospital, however, focuses on treatment.

It's about healing people.

So, our measures aren't as restrictive.

Could this be a loophole in the system?

We often hear about patients escaping from mental hospitals.

That's very rare these days.

All our wards now have digital locks.

Unlike back then, when we used regular locks.

Did each ward have its own key back then?

Yes!

But the doctors and senior nurses had master keys.

These could open every ward door.

Wouldn't it be dangerous if a master key was stolen?

So far,

there have only been a few such incidents.

Our security team is on duty around the clock.

The chances of escaping are very slim.

I'd like to ask. After Mai Zhihong came to the hospital,

did anything seem off?

He did have underlying violent tendencies.

Sometimes, he was emotionally unstable.

We'd put him in the isolation room to calm down.

I'm so scared.

I want to leave.

Bobby, don't cry.

No one in this world cares about us.

You have to stay strong, okay?

Come here!

I'll hold you.

I'll hold you.

According to the director, Mai suffered from schizophrenia.

He had hallucinations, heard things, and felt things.

His friend, Bobby,

is a hallucination that only he could see.

He called it Bobby,

because as a child, classmates often bullied him,

always crying.

Everyone called him a crybaby.

Bobby represents his weakest,

most insecure side.

Have a seat, Officer Ye.

The boss wants you to cancel the operation immediately.

If you keep digging,

we could all end up in trouble.

I'm not the only one in charge.

If the team finds leads,

they'll follow up.

If you can't handle it, we can take care of it for you.

It's not the first time.

If you want no loose ends,

just get someone to take out that kid, Mai Zhihong.

He should've been dead already.

Officer Ye, you're so calm.

Aren't you afraid your team will catch him

and then expose all of us?

I can find someone,

but I won't get involved in anything else.

How come?

Afraid we'll drag you down?

We're all in the same boat.

When things go south, who goes down first is anyone's guess.

Officer Ye,

is it because Deng Hongfa is dead

that you don't care about us anymore?

Help! Fire!

Help! Somebody!

Save us!

Help!

Let us out!

Somebody!

Help! Help!

Let us out!

DENG HONGFA

MA FURONG

Pitiful people always have hateful traits,

and vice versa. It's the same.

You're pitying him? He's a murderer.

Of course, I'm not pitying him.

I just think that Mai Zhihong ended up this way

because of his past.

Hey.

Is she a singer?

- Busking! - What do you mean?

Street performance!

The kind who performs for tips?

Something like that.

- So? - Any song requests?

Yes! Yes! "Lover"!

- "Lover"? - The one by Beyond.

- Give me some money. - Such an old song!

Can you sing it?

How much?

Will you sing it?

- I will. - Thank you.

Hoping that you won't shed a tear At a corner

I don't intend to leave

Your heart with emptiness

Wishing you won't throw

The burden of guilt on my shoulder

My heart is still as water…

Officer Yao,

how does this song sound?

Not as good as Ka-Kui.

It'll just do.

Who's willing to go back?

Mai Zhihong is nearby.

How's it going?

After staying in the hospital for so long,

does it feel strange?

How could it feel strange?

This world is already one big psychiatric hospital.

We're all patients here.

What about Bobby?

Is he used to it?

How do you know about him?

Mai Zhihong.

What are you doing?

- Sorry. - Psycho!

Hello? Hello?

Hello?

Asshole!

Officer Zhang, I found out that Chen Jiajie

has a mobile that can contact Mai Zhihong.

What's so urgent?

Hand over the mobile.

What mobile?

The mobile you've been using to contact Mai.

Why give it to you?

Don't you know, as a police officer,

what you're doing right now

has serious consequences?

If I hadn't found Mai Zhihong,

you wouldn't have seen his shadow.

No matter what,

we as law enforcement have to obey the law too.

How to handle evidence,

it's all clearly written in police protocol.

It's not up to you.

I know.

I know you'll complain,

but no need to go that far

and take the phone.

I'm just catching the villain.

Anyway, when you're here,

you have to…

You…

What did he say?

I'll turn this mobile over according to standard procedure.

As for the disciplinary hearing,

I'll let you know later.

Officer Zhang.

Just a couple of things.

I went undercover

just to get promoted.

If you report me,

my record will be ruined.

These years will have been in vain.

So, what do you want me to do?

Forget it happened?

I'm not asking you to lie,

but what you say, how you say it,

it's up to you.

I've always been curious.

You didn't graduate, yet they let you go undercover.

You just came to this district,

but you seem

so experienced, like an old hand.

Dealing with old pros for years,

- it starts to rub off after. - Yao.

I've suspected that you're not Chen Jiajie.

It wasn't until just now, when Mai called and addressed you as Officer Yao,

that I was sure.

You're the senior inspector

who went missing 25 years ago,

Yang Guangyao.

Do you remember, 25 years ago,

at a crime scene,

you promised a little kid something?

- Daddy, - Stay back!

Use the umbrella.

Little one,

I promise you

I'll catch your dad's killer.

I promise!

- Take him back. - Yes, Officer.

If I hadn't seen you,

- no one would have believed this. - I know.

I'm confused myself.

I know my wife's death wasn't just a traffic accident.

I suspected Mai Zhihong,

but he was still in the mental hospital then,

and I couldn't find anything.

Now, all I want is to find my daughter.

Have you tried looking for her online?

There are successful cases.

There's someone I want to look into,

but I'm not sure if it's her. Only you can help me.

Who is it?

I suspect that Kaiqing is my daughter.

Her scars are exactly the same as my daughter's.

- Officer Zhang, - Sorry to bother you.

This is my first time here. Take this.

You shouldn't have.

Just feel free.

Well, should I take off my shoes?

These slippers are my dad's.

If you don't mind.

I don't mind.

What can I do for you?

It's not urgent. Go ahead with what you're doing.

I'll get you a glass of water.

Okay.

It smells so good. Are you cooking?

Have you eaten yet? Join me.

Sure.

Thank you.

- Sorry, it's a bit messy. - It's okay.

Have a seat, please.

You study anatomy at home? You're so hardworking.

That's my dad's.

That's a photo from your childhood.

I was eight then.

So cute!

Ice hockey, Canada's national sport.

I haven't been to Canada yet.

I don't know what it's like.

Do you have other childhood photos?

I'll get them for you.

Thanks.

These are my embarrassing moments.

No one's ever seen them.

Thanks.

Hello?

Yeah, I'm checking.

I'm at her place.

Hello? Hello?

What's going on?

Jiajie has something to talk to me about.

He's nearby now.

Do you mind if he joins us?

Can I say I mind?

What are you doing here?

Where's Officer Zhang?

Make me a cup of coffee.

Any updates on the case?

We've done our best.

Her childhood photos!

Thanks.

It wasn't me who made Mom angry.

It was you who made Mom angry.

Dad, where are you going?

I'm so scared.

Police!

You can't escape!

What are you doing? You're an officer, not some thug.

Move aside.

Don't get in the way.

- Kaiqing, do you need help? - No, I'm fine.

After looking

at your childhood photos from Canada,

your family really seems so warm.

Do you look more like your dad

or your mom?

I think I look more like my dad.

My dad is a forensic expert.

I became a cop because of him.

I guess that's genetics.

Here's your coffee.

What's wrong?

Hold it.

Didn't you want coffee?

I have some things to do. I'll leave now.

What did he want you for?

It's kind of strange.

Yeah.

Maybe he's got other business.

One, two, three, four, five,

six, seven, eight, nine, ten.

Where's Dad? Where are you?

Dad, where are you?

Dad!

Come out quickly!

Dad, where are you? Come out quickly!

Police! Don't move! Hands on your head!

Officer, I didn't do anything wrong.

You're amazing! You found me!

Come on. Come on. Come up and catch me!

Come on. Come on. Can you even catch me?

- Can you catch me? - No, I can't.

Officer, what did I do wrong?

Officer, what did I do wrong? Tell me.

Officer!

Officer, have you taken a shower?

Drink slowly.

Alright, alright, don't drink so much.

Dad can't smoke.

Smoking makes your mouth smell.

Why are you copying your mom?

Sweetie!

You won't listen to me,

but I have a daughter to keep you in check.

Stop smoking. It's bad for your health.

I don't understand why every time you play hide and seek with our daughter,

you let her find you so quickly

and still say you're an expert.

Didn't you see just now?

She was calling out for me under the tree, looking so anxious.

My heart twisted in a knot. I couldn't stand it.

I couldn't find you either.

You could bear it, though.

You're not jealous, are you?

No, I'm not.

I know you're working on the case,

but at least return my calls.

- I promise, next time. - Don't make any promises.

You never follow through with your promises.

Alright, go ahead. Go back to your work.

We'll take a cab home by ourselves later.

- What's so funny? - My wife is so understanding.

- Smile. - You're so annoying.

Smile. You're so beautiful. Smile more.

You said Kaiqing is Xingyao.

How is that possible?

The photos of Kaiqing when she was young,

Tianming sent them to me.

She really is Xingyao.

She doesn't remember anything from the past.

Wait!

I've seen this woman.

She was a social worker.

- Hello, Director Ma. - Who are you?

We probably met about 22 years ago.

Yang Xingyao had just arrived at the orphanage.

I came to visit her.

Xingyao?

I remember her. Please, have a seat.

Back then, her mom had just died, and her dad was missing.

Her grandparents passed away not long after. She had no family.

You were the only one who visited her.

After the accident, she lost her memory.

Did she get better?

She never remembered who her parents were.

I was worried about her.

But fortunately,

she was adopted by a couple who loved her very much.

You two are so young. Why do you want to adopt an orphan?

Because my wife has some health problems

and can't have children.

But we really wanted to have a child.

I must remind you,

adoptive parents cannot specify

which child to adopt.

You can only state your requirements,

such as age and gender.

Understood!

We hope for a girl,

if possible,

around five or six years old.

Because at that age,

she's young enough to form a stronger bond.

Also,

we don't mind adopting a child

who might have some psychological issues.

Yeah, because

my wife studied psychology,

and if she can use her expertise to help the child,

it would be

more beneficial for the child's growth.

Director Ma,

look.

Your little centipede is missing.

Mom used magic to make the centipede disappear.

I took her for a skin treatment.

Girls care more about their looks.

Let's go play outside.

- Okay, Dad. - Come on.

Kaiqing?

Her name is now Chen Kaiqing.

Since she's forgotten about the past,

we want to give her a new life.

Just like the scar on her arm, we want to erase unhappy memories.

Has she asked about the orphanage?

Actually, her time here was very short.

I told her it was because of a house fire,

and her mom was very busy,

so I asked you to help take care of her.

Also,

we plan to move to Canada as a family,

to start anew.

That's great. That's a good thing.

Kaiqing,

come over and take a picture together.

Get ready. Look at the camera.

Ready?

Three, two, one.

Dr. Chen and his wife are really nice.

They've done so much to make Xingyao happy,

and they've given her

such a warm family, right?

So, what's your plan now? Are you going to tell Kaiqing?

Forget it.

They're a happy family of three.

Forget it.

Even if I say it, will she believe me?

Not necessarily.

We both believe you.

If you don't speak, you'll suffer alone.

If you tell her, it will just make her feel worse.

If I tell her now that suddenly there are two dads

and her childhood was so miserable,

what's the point?

Things are pretty good now.

She's happy.

What are you two doing? Looking all troubled.

It's perfect.

From now on, we can solve cases together.

I'm leaving now.

I don't intend

To leave your heart with emptiness

Wishing you won't throw

The burden of guilt on my shoulder

My heart is still as water

You need not be passionate

Don't you know

Who dare to return

Is there anyone between you and me?

Well, without police

maintaining order in this world,

how could we sleep peacefully, right?

My wife is really considerate.

Behind every successful man, there's always a woman.

Then, I'll work hard to become a very successful man.

You're already the best in my heart.

The star represents you,

and the sun represents…

The sun represents Dad.

Dad's name is Yang Guangyao, so it represents the sun. Smart!

But the stars

come out in the night, and the sun is in the day.

They can't stay together.

Silly girl!

The stars and the sun are both in the sky.

Sometimes you can't see them.

Eat up. It's getting cold. Here!

Dad, Dad, where are you?

Come out quickly!

Dad, Dad, come out quickly!

Mom,

I used to find Dad so quickly.

Why can't I find him this time?

Does dad not want Xingyao anymore? Is that it?

I'll never find him again?

How could that be? Silly girl.

Dad…

He might have just gotten lost.

Don't worry.

We will definitely find Dad.

Okay?

Stop crying.

Be good!

Honey. Honey!

Sorry, I mistook you for someone else.

It's okay.

Honey, I have a holiday next week. Let's go on a date.

Sure.

How about we go watch a movie starring Fat Gor?

Fat Gor?

He didn't make a romance movie this year.

So, what should we watch?

Next week,

the movie A Moment of Romance II

is perfect for us!

- That Andy Lau movie? - No, he was replaced by Aaron Kwok.

- And Wu Chien Lien? - She's still in it.

MOVIE TICKETS

Honey!

Your favorite sticky rice!

I have something to tell you.

I've found our daughter.

Don't worry.

Do you remember?

I used to teach our kid how to use chopsticks.

Now, she's so good,

she teaches me how to use a cellphone.

She even says I'm slow.

She's teaching me how to be a good cop.

Can you believe it?

She's very happy now.

Her adoptive parents are great to her.

Her boss treats her well too.

Even though she doesn't recognize me as her dad,

as long as she is doing well,

I'm at peace as a father.

Don't you think so?

Would you like to meet her?

You called me here so early. Do you have any leads?

I want to introduce someone to you.

Whenever I had trouble in the past,

she was always there.

She'll look out for me.

I consider you family.

Let her protect you too.

Who is she?

She's someone very important to me.

Since you're here,

why not take a bow?

Is there anything else?

No, that's all.

Then, I'll be going now.

Have you had breakfast?

- Is it good? - Here you go!

- Is it good? - Here, here!

It's freshly made,

your favorite.

Ah! Is it good?

It's so delicious!

- Is it delicious? - Is it good?

Is it good?

How can you use your hands?

How is it? Isn't it really good?

Everyone says this sticky rice is delicious.

It's her. Back in the day, she often bought it for me.

If it's good, eat more.

Thank you.

Officer Zhang,

I'll be right back.

The 1990 King Shun Fire

took countless lives and homes.

Even the survivors didn't have it easy.

All these years later,

I still have nightmares.

I dream about that night.

There was fire everywhere.

Such heavy smoke!

I'm Zheng Wenxin.

At that time, I was only four years old.

Back then,

my whole body caught on fire.

I nearly didn't make it.

Also,

I'm really grateful to the charity foundation,

which has been helping people like us get through tough times.

I just hope

such unfortunate accidents never happen again.

I don't know if it was an accident

or if it was arson.

I've been thinking about this.

So, I've gone through old records,

looking for overlooked clues.

The clue about Grim Ace must be investigated.

If it turns out that Grim Ace was responsible for this,

39 lives were lost.

How was he never held accountable?

His connections must be solid.

Now, his second-in-command, Blind Dart, has taken over.

Still in charge of what Grim Ace did back then.

If someone really set the fire on purpose, the mastermind could

very well be among those people.

Anti-Triad got tips.

Blind Dart will be hosting a dinner tonight in Yuen Long.

Not sure who or what to expect there.

Jiajie, Kaiqing,

you two check out this lead.

The rest of you, keep searching.

- What's wrong? - Caught a cold?

It's fine.

DENG FAMILY ANCESTRAL TEMPLE

Bro Ming, Bro Hui!

Bro Han!

What are they?

They used to be involved in the mafia.

Now, they've become well-known big shots.

They don't want to show up,

so others do their dirty work.

What kind of business?

They run shell companies,

doing dirty work for real estate developers.

These bastards.

So many people have worked a lifetime

just to have a home.

When I was a kid,

my family lived in a place less than ten square meters.

- When… - Don't smoke in the car.

Thanks!

You're used to living in a big house in Canada.

Must feel uneasy coming back.

- What's that? - Monk Fruit.

I saw you coughing a bit. It's good for coughing.

I don't drink Monk Fruit.

The car's here.

Please, inside!

Who is this person?

Not sure.

He seems important.

NOT CONNECTED

CONNECTED

Don't move.

What's going on?

What are you doing?

So impressive! It can record videos?

It's just as good as a dash cam.

You stay here.

I'll go.

You know how to use it?

Mr. Shi,

I received the news.

Government wants to use Land Resumption Ordinance

to seize land at low prices and build public housing.

They're trying to drive us all out.

What's there to fear?

Seize land, take the space.

HK has over 7,000 ancestral temples.

In all of Kowloon, such vast land for ancestral halls.

We have many opportunities.

Ancestral temples are hard to sell.

You need all the descendants to agree before it can be sold.

Anyway, if you offer a high enough price,

they'll sell you their ancestors' graves.

What if they refuse to sell?

We'll take action.

Lately, the situation's getting tense. Don't act rashly.

The ICAC has pulled the files.

They're probing the riches.

Every newspaper is covering

the land hoarding issue.

You all need to be more careful.

Make your fortune quietly.

Don't be so high-profile.

Especially you,

keep a low profile.

What are you doing?

Don't run!

Oh no.

- Stop, you! - Don't run!

Stop running!

Close the gate! Stop!

- Stop! - Don't run!

Don't run!

Don't move!

Let her go!

Let her go!

Put the gun down!

Alright, I'll put it down.
