BODY FOUND! COME NOW!

Who's the man in the suit in the hall?

He was wearing a mask.

How would I know?

Still talking tough?

Enough.

You've been hurt. Are you alright?

I'm fine, thanks.

Do you know the officer who caught you?

I don't.

Do you know his name?

He's not my dad.

Take a closer look.

You don't know him at all?

Yeah.

Almost got caught by a cop. The boss isn't happy.

Blind Dart's causing trouble everywhere.

I didn't expect Anti-Triad to be onto him.

Two DCS cops investigated Fable Town.

One of them was recognized.

It was her.

The other cop is not here.

Did you forget something?

That's all I have.

I can't help if your guys can't find him.

Officer Ye,

just a heads-up.

You're not doing this for the boss.

You're doing it for yourself.

So be careful.

PAY YOUR DEBT

PAY YOUR DEBT

- Hello? - Officer Ye, you finally picked up.

Your wife went gambling in Macau, owes us two million, interest included.

Two million?

I know it takes time.

- I'll give you two days. - Help me, babe!

- Babe! Please help me. - Let her go!

- Babe. - Officer Ye.

You better get this straight. I'm in charge now.

- I could kill your wife if I wanted to. - What?

- Extorting a police officer, huh? - So what?

The police don't have to pay up?

Anyway, don't get me the money.

- And you can collect her body. - Hello?

Hello?

Officer Ye.

- What you need is here. - Thanks.

Nie Jitian's case is solved. Congrats, you'll be promoted again.

The bullet count in the gun room is off.

Go check it out. I've got things covered here.

Sure, Officer.

Thanks.

Good news. The court changed the date.

The Nie Jitian case will be tried in two days.

In two days?

- Officer Zhang. - What's wrong?

I've got something.

Jiajie was undercover at Lenco for years.

I asked Mick yesterday. He doesn't know him.

Lenco has so many gangs.

It's not surprising they haven't met.

But even if that is the case, he should've at least heard of him.

- Have you told anyone else? - No.

Keep investigating. You can head back. I'll follow up.

You got hurt. Why are you still at work? You should rest.

- I'm fine. - Huh?

Let her take days off. I'll investigate Blind Dart.

No need to follow this case.

Why?

Officer Ye ordered it. The Anti-Triad is looking into him.

If we look into it too, there will be a conflict.

Seriously?

Don't act out. I know what you're thinking.

Jiajie.

I'm taking Blind Dart's case. You hear me?

- Go talk to Anti-Triad about it. - What are you doing?

- I told you to keep him calm. - Sorry, sir.

It's 2018 now.

What's with your attitude?

Don't try to use old tricks on me.

We're all about rules.

- And the systems. - Nonsense.

What about those victims?

How many died in the serial killings? Tell me!

I don't need to explain it to you. Anyway, you are off the case.

I'm not. What are you gonna do?

You're gonna get in trouble.

I'm warning you. If you are exposed,

I can't protect you.

Stop it.

Officer Yao,

you've always caused trouble. Officer Ye's always had your back.

Officer Ye, you've solved so many cases. He helped you too.

It's been 25 years.

Don't be like this, okay?

Come on.

Keep an eye on him.

Of course.

- Thanks. - Thanks.

- Thank you. - Thanks a lot.

- Thanks. - Congrats.

- Congrats, Officer. - Come here.

- Congratulations. - Congrats.

Welcome.

- Look at her. Doesn't she look like me? - Of course.

- Take this. - Thanks.

- To good luck. - Thanks.

Why are you alone?

My wife went to Macau. Her sister is sick.

She went to see her.

Officer Ye, you're amazing,

making it to the Fire case committee.

Forget about that.

Finding the truth matters more.

- How about we take a picture together? - Okay.

- Bye. - See you.

Get ready for a promotion.

- What? - I got word.

There's a promo spot. I'm recommending you.

No way. My record's already trashed.

No, seriously, you just solved a big case.

Your daughter was just born.

You're more mature now. Higher-ups can see that.

It's not just about helping you. It's for me too.

If they're promoting someone, it should be someone I trust.

Right?

That way, there are no worries.

Don't wanna end up being stabbed in the back.

How do you know I won't stab you in the back?

Well, if you do,

just stab softly when you get promoted.

And look after your mentor, Officer Yao.

Remember, where I go, you go.

Where you go, I go. Thanks, Officer Ye.

Jiajie.

No need to hang him up to interrogate him.

What if Officer Liu asks about it?

What should we say?

Don't worry. He'll cover for me.

The higher-ups won't let us in. What do you think?

Their views are different from ours.

Officer Ye did it for the bigger picture. We just follow orders.

Everyone's path is different.

If one path's blocked, we take another.

What do you mean?

Mai Zhihong.

Have some fish. You haven't eaten much.

Protein.

- Excuse me, one beer, please. - Okay.

Mai's hiding here. There's gotta be something.

Search it again.

Kaiqing.

Bobby,

who did this to you?

I don't know.

There were too many of them. I didn't dare look.

Don't worry.

Listen.

Remember each one of their backs,

like a scanner, lock it in your mind.

You're little now. You can't fight them yet.

But when you're a grown man, you can track them down, one by one,

and make them pay tenfold.

YULI SCHOOL

Looks like Yuli School has clues of Mai.

HANDLER

Hello?

I might have found Mai Zhihong.

Send someone over. I'll message you the address.

Hello?

Yeah, we're together.

To Mai's old school.

Got it. On my way back.

What's wrong?

Officer Ye called an emergency meeting. At 11:30, back at the station.

- What's that for? Why so urgent? - He didn't say.

Wait.

We'll speed up. Go just for a bit.

If there is no lead, we pull back.

We might be short on time.

Mai might be there.

We'll just be late, not break the rules.

If anything goes wrong, it's on me.

Still running, huh?

My bullets won't miss.

If I hit your head,

don't blame me.

Then shoot. Go ahead, aim for my head.

Kill me, and you'll be guilty.

Come on, shoot me.

Kill me. Killing feels good.

Just like how I killed that scum.

It felt so good.

They all got what they deserved.

Deserved?

- What about firefighter Zhang Qiang? - What about him?

Does it make them a good guy? A hero?

By the way, Officer Yao.

Don't you think it's weird?

Those two hitmen just now.

They showed up right before you.

What's your point?

There's a mole close to you.

I don't need to ask.

It must have been Jiajie's idea, right?

Tianming,

why not follow orders?

I judged the situation. So I prioritized catching Mai.

Why didn't you inform me?

If you had, I could've sent backup.

Now we can't catch Mai

or find out who's after him.

Luckily you are okay.

I'll explain it to Officer Ye.

Tianming,

write a report for me.

You can leave.

You're usually talkative. But you're so quiet today.

It's fine. We're a team.

Your phone's broken. Go get it fixed.

If you can't manage your guys, how can you protect people?

Need any help to get rid of them?

I don't care how you do things.

But let me remind you, killing a cop is a big deal.

The boss doesn't want any trouble, right?

The boss just gave the order.

Next time, he'll see Mai's body.

Otherwise,

it'll be yours.

You've been working for him for years. You know what that means.

Officer Ye, how's it going?

Tian was my brother. He was killed.

You're using this fool to brush me off?

Stop!

Try to think again,

who knocked you out? Mai Zhihong?

I'm not sure.

I saw him going into the woods. I got up, took a few steps.

- Then someone knocked me out. - Your safety matters.

You didn't get any word about his escape?

Officer Yao,

for you, it may be like yesterday.

But for us, it was 25 years ago.

No one cares anymore.

Mai Zhihong is just a suspect. Even if the hospital called the cops,

they'd just treat him as a mental patient who escaped.

If I had caught him that night, he'd still be behind bars.

Guangyao,

was that person really Mai?

Sir, can you fix phones here?

Sure. My phone screen's cracked.

Buddy, someone's put a backdoor in there.

- What do you mean? - You've been bugged.

Where'd you buy your phone? Had it been repaired?

Think about it. Who would have the chance?

Now, you can go out without your wallet,

but never without your phone.

Officer Ye called an emergency meeting. At 11:30, back at the station.

Those two hitmen just now.

They showed up right before you.

There's a mole close to you.

Jiajie, what are you looking for?

Clues. This is? The Nie Jitian case?

‪Hey!

Alright, I'll come alone.

Ten o'clock, Kai Tak Public Pier.

Don't play games.

It's really you.

How did you find out?

I never thought

you would bug my phone.

Deng Hongfa, Yan Hua, Ma Furong,

and the Indo-Pakistani victim, Xing.

The four murder cases are closely related.

If we find the link between Mai and the Tower,

we can find his motive for murder.

Did you call for backup?

Still up for negotiating?

I'll pay you. Name it.

Two million?

Three million?

Or maybe we team up.

Split the profits 50-50.

What are you talking about?

What the hell are you talking about?

What happened to you?

Tell me.

Is it about the Nie Jitian case?

I couldn't figure out

when you started to act strange. Until that day…

Good news. The court changed the date.

It will be tried two days later.

- In two days? - Yeah.

- What's the matter? - Nothing.

Don't look so down. Once the case is solved,

I can finally be with my family.

- You can be with your wife. - Sure.

- I'm off now. - Okay.

I thought it was just family issues.

You lied to me then.

I don't know what you mean.

You don't know what I mean?

Do you really not know what I mean?

I was in charge of Nie's case files.

You swapped cash numbers.

I know your handwriting, especially how you write an E.

I have a friend who lives in Canada

He's well-connected.

I'll give you his number.

You embezzled that money.

Then you returned it

and changed the numbers.

No wonder you were so nervous in court.

I now get why you oversaw the evidence. Your wife leaving

and you joining the committee.

Are they connected with the evidence?

Tell me.

I didn't want to.

I didn't have a choice.

My wife lost a lot of money in Macau.

It was Deng Hongfa who schemed against me.

- Get off. - Babe.

They wanted me in their gang.

To work for them.

If you keep pocketing it, it'll catch up with you soon.

Nie's case won't go to court that soon.

When I get the money,

I'll pay it back.

Just change the cash numbers.

Put it in the property room. It will be fine.

If I hadn't been played…

- You wouldn't have-- - Enough.

Let me handle it.

I tried every way to repay the money.

Anyone interested?

Lower the price by another 15%.

Just sell the house.

Raymond, sell off all my stocks.

Just do as I say.

All of them.

But I didn't expect

Nie's case to be tried early.

It caught me off guard.

I, Ye Cheng.

I've been a cop for years.

Never had I strayed off the path.

Being a policeman

has been my dream since I was young.

But this time,

I made a mistake.

I disgraced the police.

I've let other cops down.

I've let myself down.

I'm not a qualified cop.

As Nie's trial approached,

I still hadn't raised the money.

I had already prepared for the worst.

Until…

Deng Hongfa called me.

Have you made up your mind?

In this document bag,

I have all your records of illegal loans.

If this gets out, you're finished.

This check is enough to cover your debts.

If there's any extra, consider it a bonus.

Think about it.

Foreign judges run the committee.

I'm just the police.

There are many factions. It's not up to me alone.

You have the entry ticket. That's enough.

We'll take care of the rest. Do your part well.

I want cash. The numbers need to be clean.

- Tomorrow. - Sure.

Welcome to my gang.

I used the money Deng Hongfa gave me

to replace it in the property room.

Then I got into the fire case probe team.

The government will soon announce plans to rebuild this area.

The boss says he wants this piece.

But Roy…

He has found a big boss in Macau

and has bought up 40% of the shares.

Just pick any charge to accuse Roy of.

Cause him some trouble. So he can't compete with me.

That's not my style.

Find someone else.

So are you rejecting me?

Officer Ye,

you've had it easy in the station.

It's tough to lose everything overnight.

Don't ruin your life.

You're smart. You know what to do.

I knew, to get rid of him,

there was only one way.

- Officer Ye. - Deng Hongfa has fallen.

Accidentally, off a cliff

while hiking on Kowloon Peak. The police have confirmed

he died at the scene.

He had it coming, no one else was to blame.

You got it now.

If it were you,

you'd do the same.

- I wouldn't. - You would!

Everyone has their price,

including Tianming's dad.

That report back then was fake.

We both took the money, Zhang Qiang and me.

We can find him.

- The guy behind Deng Hongfa. - Stop it.

You can't fight them.

They're not just after you.

- But also the people around you. - Turn yourself in!

I don't want to arrest you.

- Don't make me. - Stay away from me.

Do you plan to kill me too?

Shoot me.

Just do it.

Listen,

I'd rather die

than turn myself in.

Guangyao,

I'm begging you.

Please cut me some slack.

Okay?

Just one night. One night for you to think about

which path will you take.

Officer Ye, here's a new mission for you.

Some money needs to be sent to South America.

Find out if Interpol is on it. Is it safe?

No problem, I'll handle it.

But pay up first.

Officer Ye, this is not how it works.

I've helped the boss for years. This is the first time. No problem, right?

You need money that badly?

Fifty bricks.

The boss put me in charge here. I have to be responsible.

What if I say no?

I'll have my guys raid this place, and you're done.

You'll all end up in jail.

Sure.

- WestK DCS. - Biao, it's Officer Ye.

What's wrong?

Send cops

to Tung Kwai Wan, Zhejiang Street, now.

- Wait. - Got it.

Officer Ye,

you got your money. Where's Mai Zhihong.

Rest assured.

I've sent plenty of cops. We'll catch him soon.

Next time you need money, just tell me. I'll have someone deliver it to you.

Remember, wherever you are,

I can always find you.

GUANGYAO

If you're trying to persuade me, then don't bother.

Hey, Officer Ye.

Remember? I was your right-hand man.

Argued with you all the time.

Made you angry,

and caused trouble.

Only you stood up for me.

Now that you're in trouble,

I didn't help you.

I'm sorry.

You can't help me.

Don't get into this.

I know the people behind you are ruthless.

They have influence.

That's exactly why you should turn back.

Do you want to be their puppet forever?

Once you're of no use to them, they won't let you off.

Remember? When I had just graduated,

you asked me why I wanted to be a cop.

I told you, it wasn't me who chose to be a cop.

It's this job that chose me.

Then you said to me,

being a cop, you have to stay strong. There will be many temptations.

Remember your initial aspirations.

I remember every word you said.

It was you who taught me to remain noble

and how to be a good cop.

Come over right away.

I'll tell you everything.

I have something.

I'll hand it over to you.

Okay, on my way.

Officer Ye.

Officer Ye!

Police. What's wrong?

- Freeze! - I'm a cop.

Stay there.
