Original subtitles

You like to smoke.

Come and catch me.

Your left arm is quite thick.

You're left-handed.

"Come and catch me."

Aren't you quite polite?

Let's have a chat.

Why did you kill people?

Come and catch me.

Playing the quiet game?

I can still catch you even if you don't talk.

-What are you looking at? -Hey.

Look.

He's talking to the snowman.

Psycho.

Hey, look. What is he doing now?

Come on. Let's go.

Mrs. Lin, this is the latest list.

-Li and Mr. Song, come over here. -Yes.

This is the newest list of the people whom Hong-yun Sun knew.

Hong-yun Sun had contacted them a week before he died.

There are 133 people. Hurry up and go through the list.

Check out their alibis.

Every single one of them?

This is only the first list.

There will be more coming up. Hurry up, you two.

-All right. -There's no need to investigate everyone.

Why is that?

I said that there's no need.

And I'm asking you for the reason.

I found a secret of the Snowman.

What secret?

Three years ago, the first victim, he was 188cm tall.

He weighted almost over 100kg.

The murderer hung him on a tree.

A year later, the second victim, he was also physically strong.

But the Snowman was able to abduct him under the police's nose.

His throat was slit.

The third victim. A young physical education teacher.

He died the same way.

These three victims didn't have electrical burns on them.

Why did the Snowman need to use a taser

on Hong-yun Sun who was small, skinny and in his fifties?

According to the Snowman's MO, he's always acted quickly and agilely.

Based on his style, he would never use a controlled item

that could attract the police's attention unless he had to.

According to your theory,

the murderer wasn't confident enough to subdue Hong-yun Sun

before killing him.

If it were three years ago,

subduing someone like Hong-yun Sun

would've been a piece of cake for the Snowman.

However, he chose to use a taser.

I went over the crime scene photos again due to this suspicion.

Here.

I've already explained how the footprints were made.

The Snowman dragged Hong-yun Sun over after tasing him.

-Mr. Song. -What?

Come and demonstrate.

At first, I thought this was how he dragged him,

but I realized I was wrong after going through all the photos.

Take a look.

Look carefully.

What are these black spots on the ground?

Sweat?

Beautiful!

They were the sweat marks left behind by the murderer

during the process of carrying the victim.

And what kind of posture

could make the sweat directly fall onto the ground?

Come here, Mr. Song.

Come here.

Turn around.

This is the only way

that the sweat on your forehead would drop onto the ground.

And it's easier to forge footprints in this position.

Most importantly,

this position requires less strength.

Take another look.

The special thing about this photo

is that there's a spot of concentrated sweat marks.

There are three photos like this.

The distance between these three spots is around six meters.

This shows that the murderer stopped and took a break three times

while he was walking backward with Hong-yun Sun on his back.

Based on all these signs,

I speculate that the Snowman is very weak now.

Li, Mr. Song,

re-examine the people on this list and look into their medical records.

Narrow it down to people with chronic diseases

and injured recently.

-All right. -Understood.

-How much did Blondie ask? -A hundred thousand.

That's a lot.

He said that he would need money to maneuver people.

He is going to ask a few powerful people to step in.

I'm willing to pay him the money if he can help me get rid of Mrs. Li.

I've got the money with me. I plan to pay him today.

Let me do it for you.

-You? -I will talk to him.

Don't you need to go to work?

It's all right. Let me handle this.

Yu Guo, you've helped me enough.

I'm glad that I could help.

Hello, please get off the car. I'm going to clean inside of the car.

All right.

Mr. Zhang, you're here.

Mr. Zhang. Mr. Zhang.

Mr. Zhang.

-Mr. Zhang, you're here. -Don't smoke.

All right.

-Where's Mr. Huo? -He's in there.

-Put your cigarette away. -Right away.

-Mr. Huo. -Sit down.

Do you want to have one?

No, thanks.

How did it go, Bing? Did you get the money back?

Take a look on your own.

The kid said that this is worth 50,000 TWD.

What the hell is that?

Does it have gold on it? This is worth 50,000 TWD?

What kind of person is that? People have no integrity these days.

Do you know that Hong-yun Sun is dead?

I know that.

That asshole beat up my man before he died.

-Are we still going to ask for our money? -Forget it.

His spendthrift wife is even harder to deal with.

Treat the money as a token of respect to the deceased.

-There's another thing. -Yes.

Mr. Jin and Hui Jin from the law firm whom you are familiar with,

why don't you stop by his place?

Is he asking for a loan again?

How much does he want to borrow this time?

I don't know.

200,000 or 300,000. It's always around this amount.

Mr. Huo, are you sure you want to lend money to him?

I hear that he gambles. Dealing with him is a one-way street.

Whatever he gambles on has nothing to do with me.

I'm in charge of giving out loans.

You're in charge of collecting debts.

Do you understand?

Mr. Huo, I don't want to say this. Every time I pay this jerk a visit,

he has tons of excuses. He talks on and on.

That's not anything new.

Has any debtor ever returned you money delightfully?

Besides, what's the point of hiring you

if every debtor returns money on time?

Bing.

Now that a person has died,

the police is going to give me a hard time again.

Same old rule.

Take this account book

and hide it in a safe place for me. Okay?

Return it to me when the heat dies down.

I hope this time it won't last long.

Okay.

My lifeblood.

Take good care of it.

Don't worry, Mr. Huo.

This isn't the first time.

I'm asking you to deliver this subpoena to the Zhu family.

What's so hard to understand?

Mr. Jin, I can't do it.

Mrs. Li hasn't filed a lawsuit against them yet.

This is a fake subpoena.

I'm afraid they're going to take action if I deliver this to them.

They know nothing.

This is just to scare them.

Why should you be afraid when I'm not?

Why don't you ask someone else?

I don't have my law license yet.

I don't want to be charged with racketeering.

Yu Guo, are you calling me a racketeer?

That's not what I meant.

I just think that we are the people who practice law,

-we should abide by the law. -Abide my ass.

How dare you lecture me?

Forgive me.

I'm sorry to offend you.

I'm sorry.

Why did you dodge?

-I'm sorry. -Don't apologize to me.

Apologize to him.

Kowtow to the God of Wealth.

Apologize to him. Get on your knees.

Kneel down. Kneel and kowtow.

Get on your knees.

Mr. Jin,

Are you punishing your kid?

Just talking some sense into him.

-I shouldn't disturb you. Another time. -No.

Get lost.

I'm sorry to offend you.

Please forgive me.

Did you get an earful? You made the right decision.

That old man is a jerk.

If you really went and things went south, he would have let you take the blame.

I know.

Mr. Shao, do you know the man who just went in?

Bing Zhang. Mr. Zhang.

Everyone in Daowai District knows him.

Is he tough?

Working as a loan shark in Daowai District, what do you think?

Who's tougher between Mrs. Li and him?

Are you in your right mind?

It's none of your business.

Have you finished your work?

Have you?

Psycho.

Mr. Blondie.

Why is it just you?

Where's that gorgeous lady?

She's occupied, so she appointed me to come here.

Fine. Where's the money? Give me the money.

Hurry up.

Buddy, what are you doing?

Here's the thing, Mr. Blondie.

As Hui-ru Zhu's lawyer,

I have the duty to ensure my client's interest won't be jeopardized.

I have a contract with me here.

Can you please sign your name here?

Right here.

Mr. Guo, I'm doing you a favor,

but are you asking me to sign a contract?

-Huh? -This is only a procedure.

Procedure my ass.

I'm telling you.

Forget it if you don't trust me.

But Mrs. Li has started gathering her people.

Don't regret your decision.

Hold on.

Mr. Blondie.

What is it again?

Give it to me.

Stop wasting time.

Listen.

This money is not for me.

It's for my brother, Bing Zhang.

Mr. Zhang, have you heard of him?

Do you know him?

I've heard of him.

All right, then.

Tell that pretty lady to wait for my call.

How much do you need this time?

500,000 TWD.

How much?

500,000 TWD.

Come on.

I gamble on ball games.

There's a big game coming up.

I've lost a lot of money in previous bets. I need to win the money back.

You're indeed a topnotch lawyer.

Unlike the commoners,

you asked directly for 500,000 TWD.

Mr. Jin.

You must keep in mind that this is Mr. Huo's money.

Don't worry. When have I ever not paid him back?

I'm your guarantor.

Don't get me in trouble.

I'm a man of integrity.

What's gotten into you?

Let's go, Mr. Zhang.

-Did you ask the receptionist's WeChat ID? -Of course.

Pay attention to these things. Help me out with the pretty ones.

Mr. Zhang.

-Who the hell are you? -Hold on. It's okay.

What is it?

Mr. Blondie...

Who? Mr. Blondie.

Mr. Blondie?

This is the first time I've heard someone calling him mister.

Tell me. What about Blondie?

Did Mr. Blondie tell you about that matter?

Hello, Mr. Huo.

Mr. Zhang...

Blondie said that we're going to negotiate with Mrs. Li tonight.

Where? What time?

He didn't tell me. He only asked me to wait for his message

Please keep me updated. I will go with you.

This is from Mr. Song.

On the night that Hong-yun Sun died,

he met up with a gangster nicknamed Blondie

before he left his freight station.

The workers at the freight station said that the two of them got into a fight.

There was blood on Blondie's head when he left.

So Blondie is our biggest suspect now.

Give me the details.

Blondie, his real name is Tian-ding Xu, 22 years old.

A junior high dropout and unemployed.

He was hospitalized for hemopneumothorax six months ago.

He spent a year in youth detention center at the age of 14 due to theft and battery.

That's it.

That's it?

-I'll introduce you the next suspect. -There's no need.

One by one.

We'll start with him.

No one can escape.

All right, I'll send someone to talk to him.

No need.

No matter how skillful your people are,

the word "police" is written all over their face.

I'll find you a person to do it.

I'm here.

Mr. Yan. Take a seat.

Let me introduce her.

Qi Lin, Ms. Lin, the boss.

-Ms. Lin. -He's a buddy of mine.

Call him Biao Jin.

This is for you.

-There's no need to do that. -Just one card.

Let's cut to the chase, do you know Blondie?

Tian-ding Xu.

Tian-ding Xu?

Fuck, this jerk.

-I'm sorry, Ms. Lin. -Behave.

He's just a small thug. All he does is trick and fool people.

Even my people don't like to deal with him.

From what you know of him, do you think he's capable of murder?

Who's the victim? Is it Hong-yun Sun?

How do you know it's Hong-yun Sun?

Everybody knows.

This guy? He doesn't have the balls.

Hey, Mr. Yan.

I hear that Hong-yun Sun was killed by the Snowman.

Hey.

This guy is not bad, right?

Stop with the nonsense.

Answer the boss' question.

All right.

But honestly, he's definitely not capable of it.

Definitely not?

You'd better be right.

If it turns out to be him,

you would be charged with harboring a criminal.

Mr. Yan, if you put it this way, no one can give you a definite answer.

Don't answer if you can't be fully sure. Go out and investigate before you answer.

-I will ask around. -Go. I will wait for your message.

See you, Ms. Lin.

Liang Yan, what kind of people are they?

Who cares about that? As long as they're helpful, that's enough.

You know what?

The police will never know the words spreading among the gangsters.

The next suspect.

Hurry up.

Fatty, wait up.

What are we eating?

Hey, Mr. Shao.

What's the matter? Aren't you getting off work?

Can you do me a favor?

What is it?

Aren't you able to find out a person's background?

Who do you want to investigate? I have a friend who wants

to hire a guy named Blondie to settle a matter.

Can you look into him for me?

Here, Mr. Shao.

Look at you. Yu Guo.

Everything about you is great.

Except your brain. You're too stubborn, do you know that?

The way I see it, you overstudied and burned your brain.

How can you still laugh?

Even if you pass the bar examination, what good does it do?

You're not fit to be a lawyer.

How old are you? Aren't you around 25 years old?

You're not that young anymore.

Once you enter the real world...

Listen to me. The real world, what is it like?

It's like this pot of hot pot.

Who cares if you're a lobster, abalone, or raccoon meat?

You're all mixed in this hot pot.

You're all being stewed.

Stop acting as if you're a pure lotus flower.

Let's take Mr. Jin as an example.

Let me summarize him for you.

Mr. Jin, he solves a case by using 30% of his legal knowledge,

30% of trickery and 40% of his social connections.

Do you understand?

Do you know where the important things are?

They're not here.

That's right.

They're all under the table.

You're absolutely right, Mr. Shao.

Look at you.

Mr. Shao.

Have you received anything yet?

Look at it yourself.

Do you know how to read a person? All right. Let me teach you.

What do you look at if you want to know whether a person is a badass or not?

His rap sheet.

This kid is nobody.

Look. Let's talk about Bing Zhang. You met him today.

He killed two men when he was 15 years old.

And that Hong-yun Sun who died,

he didn't spend 12 years in prison for nothing.

This kid is nobody.

What's the point of investigating him?

Hello, Mr. Jin.

I can't. I...

All right. I'll be there right away.

Mr. Shao, Mr. Jin asked me to drive him home because he had a drink.

Thank you for your help. Take your time.

-Okay. -I have to go now.

-Drive slowly. Okay. -See you.

Fish ball casserole is here.

Give it a try.

-Eat slowly. It's hot. -Thank you.

Hui-ru.

Is everything all right with you lately?

Everything's fine.

What's the matter?

Look at those guys by the door.

They've been there for the past two days.

Are you sure?

Of course.

I see them every day.

Do you think that perhaps we are in some kind of trouble?

What kind of trouble?

Don't think too much.

Call the police if they come in here again. Okay?

Call the police. That's all I can do now.

If it was a few years ago, I could take down more than a dozen men,

let alone those two over there. It's all because of my crappy leg.

I've caused you a lot of trouble over the past two years.

What are you talking about, Fu-lai?

You've always taken care of me.

All right. Stop reading too much into things.

Have an apple.

Hello, Mr. Blondie.

This is Hui-ru Zhu.

Didn't Mrs. Li agree to meet up? Why is it that her people are still at my door?

Okay.

I'll be in the restaurant until we close.

I'll wait for you.

How is it, Mr. Zhang? What do you think of the drinks?

The drinks are great.

-We have to come back here again. -Yes, come back here again.

Blondie is getting somewhere.

Who would have thought that you could treat me to a drink?

Mr. Zhang, I'll always be grateful to you.

All right. Hold this for me.

You're something.

-Mr. Zhang, have a cigarette. -I don't want to smoke.

You bought me a drink. Did you earn some money?

I can't compare with you.

It's not a lot. Just around 80,000 or 100,000 yuan.

How much? 80,000 or 100,000 yuan? You call that a small amount?

You know what?

When it comes to boasting, Blondie has my respect.

Eighty or a hundred thousand.

If you had the money, you wouldn't choose this place.

You would've brought me to a big restaurant.

Mr. Zhang, next time. I will choose a big restaurant.

No need to wait for the next time. Come with me.

-Let's go, Blondie. -Come on.

Mr. Zhang, I've still got things to do. I can't join you.

What do you need to do?

Good things. Good things, of course.

Really? Good things? How would you know if I didn't have good things for you?

Come on, Mr. Zhang. You guys go.

-Next time. -Fine. Let's not bring him.

-We're not going to bring you. -Let's go.

See you, Blondie. Have fun.

-See you. -Goodbye, buddies.

Take good care of Mr. Zhang.

Here, Mr. Zhang. Come on. Take the front seat.

Take it slowly. Give me a place to sit.

Hey, Mr. Zhang.

Do you have my bag?

Yes, Mr. Zhang. You left your bag with me.

Blondie, I'm telling you.

Take good care of it. The thing in there belongs to Mr. Huo.

I will kill you if you lose it.

Don't worry, Mr. Zhang.

I won't lose this bag.

I will bring it to you tomorrow.

All right, bye.

UNABLE TO CONNECT TO MOBILE NETWORK

Have you heard from Blondie?

Wait for me no matter what.

Gorgeous, sorry to keep you waiting.

Fu-lai, a fried rice to go.

At this hour?

Cut the crap.

You don't want to do it?

All right. Wait a moment.

Gorgeous, meet me under the bridge in ten minutes.

Mrs. Li is here.

What do you think?

Don't be late.

Hello, the number you've dialed cannot be reached at this time,

please try again later.

Why do you need an ID to get a room?

This is unbelievable.

What a detail-oriented person.

Who's not a man? Who?

Hey, are you a man?

You're not a man.

We've chatted the entire night. We should get onto the real business.

I will show you tonight

-how to pee standing up. -Are you a man?

Jixiang Hotel, hurry up.

Hui-ru, it's late. Are you still going?

This is the last order.

I'll go home immediately after the delivery.

Be careful on the road.

-Here. -Let me do it myself. Don't worry. I will just drop the food and leave.

Be careful. Get home early.

-You too, Fu-lai. Go to bed early. -Okay.

This is not our guy. Keep on looking.

Is there a telephone number?

What are you looking at?

Do your homework.

I don't know how.

What did you do in school?

You don't know this and you don't know that.

Can't you talk nicely? What kind of attitude is that?

This is the way I am.

He's only a child.

-Which problem? -Get back to your work.

This one.

What grade are you in?

It's on the cover.

I see.

Just admit that you don't know. There's no need to pretend.

I hear that you're smoking in school. Is that true?

You're not allowed to smoke. Turn it in.

-Turn it in. -I don't smoke.

-Really? -I don't smoke.

Mr. Yan.

-What's the matter? -Mr. Yan.

I can't explain it.

He will tell you. Don't be afraid.

Tell us what you know.

I ran into Blondie at the pub.

Laid his hands on me? Bullshit. I did this to myself.

What else did he say?

It was just random stuff at first. But later, he said...

There are so many psychos these days.

It was already midnight when I left Hong-yun Sun's place

the other day.

Fuck, there was an idiot making a snowman on the side of the road.

What are you looking for? You came, gorgeous.

What took you so long?

Is Mrs. Li here?

Mrs. Li? Mrs. Li will be here soon.

Let's wait in the car.

Let's wait in the car.

Let's get a room later.

I need to take a good bath.

There's no need. Let's get to it right away.

What are you talking about?

What are you looking at?

Drive faster.

Didn't you say that Mrs. Li is going to negotiate with us?

When is she coming?

Mrs. Li will be here in a minute. Why are you in such a hurry?

How about this? Why don't the two of us drink and chat while waiting for her?

Here, gorgeous.

Hold it.

Come on. Hold it.

Have a drink.

Why did you do that, gorgeous?

Let me tell you the truth.

That business of yours costs five million.

You want to settle it with 100,000 RMB, that's impossible.

But don't worry. I have an idea.

You can be my woman. Then it will be our business...

Shut up!

I don't need your help.

-I'm getting off the car. -Where are you going? Sit over there.

-Look. -What do you want?

Skank, Hong-yun Sun has been dead for such a long time.

You're going to find another man.

Aren't you? Come on.

Who are you calling?

Give it to me.

Listen.

How dare you turn me down?

I'll teach you a lesson now.

-What are you doing? -Come on.

YU GUO

What are you doing?

Yu Guo, Blondie said that the negotiation with Mrs. Li will take place

under the railroad bridge.

I'm going to go over first. You focus on your work.

I will call you when it ends.

What are you doing?

Yu Guo, come back here!

Don't run.

Stop there. Don't move!

Bitch!

You don't like to do it in the car. Do you want to do it in public?

-As you wish, then. -Help!

Help!

Help!

Fuck you! Fuck, stop screaming.

-Help! -Shut up. Stop screaming.

Help!

Help! Don't come near me!

You've got a knife?

Go ahead and stab me. Stab me.

I will stab you if you don't.

Don't come near me.

Don't come near me. Go away.

Don't scream.

-Yu Guo, he tried to rape me. -Don't scream.

-It's okay. -He tried to rape me.

-He tried to rape me. -Don't scream.

-He tried to rape me. -I'm here now.

-Yu Guo, he tried to rape me. -I'm here.

-Don't scream. -He tried to rape me.

Don't scream. I'm here. It's all right now.

It's all right now.

I killed a person.

I killed a person.

I killed a person.

I killed a person.

What should I do? What should I do now?

Leave this place.

Go now.

I'm the one who killed him. It has nothing to do with you.

What are you talking about?

Go!

-What are you talking about? -Leave!

-I'm not leaving. -Listen to me.

Involuntary manslaughter. It's just ten years at most.

I know the law.

The sentence won't be too harsh.

No, you can't do this.

You worked so hard to get to where you are today. You can't do this.

Give me the knife.

-No. -Give me the knife. Listen to me.

-Give me the knife. Give it to me. -No, give it back to me.

Listen to me.

It'll be all right. Let me have it. Yu Guo, you can't do this.

Don't touch him.

Hello, have you seen this person?

No.

No? Did he come here the last two days?

No, I've never seen this person before.

-I've never seen him. -I've never seen him.

-Have you two seen this person before? -Hello?

He's 170cm tall.

I'm looking for Blondie.

He's around 170cm tall.

What else can you do?

No?

Hey, did you find him?

What's the point of hiring you people?

This is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Can we really find him?

He's a living person.

I don't believe that I can't...

What's the matter?

The premise is that he is still alive.

What are you doing? You two killed a man.

It has nothing to do with her. I'm the one who killed him.

-I killed him. -Don't talk.

This has nothing to do with her.

I...

I saw him trying to rape her just now.

So I stabbed him with a knife.

Did you kill the man?

Yes.

Why does she have blood on her?

You said that you stabbed him.

Why is his head bleeding? How do you explain that?

Cut the crap.

Call the police if you want.

I did this all on my own.

-Keep your mouth shut or else... -Yu Guo!

Are you going to kill me too?

Are you?

You two look like good kids.

Turn yourself in.

Tell the police the truth.

As soon as possible.

Stop crying.

You two can think about it.

Will you take the chance if you can change everything?

Sir, are you telling us to run away?

You can't escape from this.

Let me repeat. Hurry up and make up your mind.

If there's a way

to make the two of you continue to live your life

and not be linked to the death of this man, will you try it?

Answer me.

That's impossible.

What if it is?

If the police look into it, we'll never be able to explain ourselves.

That's right.

We'll be lying to the police then.

If you disagree, never mind what I said.

Forget about it

or else the three of us will have to go to jail.

Of course. You can turn yourself in.

It's up to you.

Why are you helping us?

Make up your mind. We'll be in trouble if someone sees us.

I will do it.

-I will do it. -I will do it.

Great.

From now on, listen to my instructions.

Do you agree?

Give me the knife.

Young lady, give me your hand. Use the snow to cover yourself first.

Do you need me to help you?

There's no need.

Are you a police officer?

Don't ask so many questions. It won't do you any good.

Go to the car and bring me the leftover beer and food.

Hurry up.

Put them here.

Pick up an ice.

Hit her leg with it.

-What? -Hit her hard.

Hurry up.

Hang in there.

I'm sorry.

Why do we need to do this?

Come with me.

Carry her on your back

and follow the original trail to go back.

Find an obvious spot.

No matter who asks you, just say that she fell at that spot.

Kid...

Call me Yu Guo. I don't need to know.

There's a 24-hour pharmacy in that district over there.

Go and buy some drugs. Remember to talk a bit more.

so that the person will have a recollection of you.

-Do you understand? -Yes. Take a good look.

Two o'clock in the morning.

Don't startle anyone.

Meet me at the intersection.

Don't be scared.

We'll be all right.

Yu Guo, why did you do that?

Is it worth it?

For you, it's worth it.

We've passed the surveillance camera. You can let me down now.

Take it easy.

-I'm all right. -Can you go home on your own?

I can.

I will see you at the intersection later.

See you later.

Hui-ru. Don't be scared.

I'm always here for you.

Hey.

Why did we take this road?

To avoid the surveillance cameras?

Where are you taking us?

To my place.

Why are you taking us to your place?

Get off the car if you don't trust me.

So?

Let's go.

Why didn't we take the elevator? Her leg is wounded.

Sir, is this your house?

All right. Let us begin now.
