Sir, Sir.

Please, please help me.

My wife is missing

for no reason.

We don't do couple fight.

No, not a couple fight.

Not.

My wife is missing.

My wife, missing, 15 days.

- 15 days. - Run away anniversary.

Ran away honeymoon.

I have seen them all.

Everyone, conference room, 10 minutes.

Sir, Sir, please, please.

At least, build a case?

I did everything.

I looked everywhere.

Sir, please. Please help me.

Sir.

Please, Sir.

Son of a bitch.

Do you even fucking care?

No. I'm ok.

Understand?

My...

My wife is missing, you understand?

Are you all right ?

You are Chinese?

Call me Zheng. I'm Chinese.

Officer Zheng, that's great.

I...

My wife...

My...

My wife has been missing for half a month.

I reported this several times.

The local police just don't care.

I understand your concern,

but please try to understand.

Police department on the island is severely understaffed.

Plus, it's the peak of tourist season.

We only investigate criminal cases

with solid evidence.

She's been missing for so long.

What evidence do you need?

Officer Zheng, you must help me.

My visa expires in five days.

I'll have to go back by then.

Now that she's gone and I can't find her.

And the police refused to build the case.

What am I supposed to tell other people when I go back?

Mr. He

I know how you feel.

But anxiety doesn't help with anything.

It's late today.

I'll look into it tomorrow.

Keep in touch.

Abandoned since last century,

Mohsha Lighthouse has been facing natural hazards

such as sand drifting and coastal erosion for years.

As the average coastline recession rate is 0.5 meters per year,

Experts estimated that the Lighthouse

will be entirely submerged by 2027.

He Fei.

He Fei.

He Fei.

He Fei.

He Fei.

He Fei.

He Fei.

He Fei.

He Fei.

Help me.

Help me, He Fei.

(VISA EXPIRES IN 4 DAYS)

Wake up.

Get up now.

Let me sleep a little longer.

Who are you?

Get up now!

What are your doing, He Fei?

You...

You know me?

All right.

It's my fault.

I shouldn't have run away.

- I apologize, okay? - What?

Are you crazy?

What are you talking about?

I don't even know you.

You are not done with it, are you?

I came back and I apologized.

What else do you want?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Who the hell are you?

He Fei, you...

Answer me.

Who am I?

You tell me who I am.

Please show me your passport.

And yours.

Your wife's name is Li Muzi, right?

Yes.

You entered the country on May 7th.

Do you remember the name of the port?

Officer Zheng.

What do you mean?

May 7th.

Lidda Port.

Date, age, name.

All match.

Her passport is definitely a fake.

She can even forge the pictures on the phone.

When will you end this scene?

Where were you for the last 15 days?

Musan Island.

15 days on Musan Island?

Why didn't you call him?

I didn't want to.

I was trying to teach him a lesson.

So he'd pay more attention to me.

She's lying.

My wife hates socializing. She hardly ever goes out.

Let alone running away.

You claimed this woman impersonating your wife.

Is there any other evidence?

OK.

Let me ask you.

Me and my wife,

when did we get married?

At which registry office?

Me and you,

got married at Xuhui Civil Affairs Bureau on May 10th last year.

How did I meet her?

We met at a diving school.

You saved my life.

Before we got married...

Before we got married, you taught me how to dive

and we went to art exhibitions.

We had a car accident,

and almost...

He Fei.

You promised that

you'd be with me for the rest of our lives.

It's only been a year.

Sorry for the trouble.

Mrs. He.

But, Officer Zheng.

She...

Officer Zheng.

Officer Zheng.

She's lying.

Nowadays, with the internet,

getting someone's private information

is not that difficult.

She must have investigated me in advance.

Found out everything about me and Muzi.

Even the details of your dating?

Come in.

There you are.

She's the housekeeper

who cleaned our villa.

She knows my wife.

Now, please tell the officer.

Is she my wife or not?

Lucy.

I'm not lying, am I?

She is definitely not my wife.

What she meant was...

This lady is your wife.

You showed her the pictures on your phone

and asked her to help you find your wife.

What's the matter with you guys?

Are you all insane?

How could I not know my own wife?

It's definitely not her on my phone.

How did you do it?

Who the hell are you?

What do you want?

He Fei, what happened to you?

You're scaring me. I'm Muzi.

Come here.

What?

My wife has a scar on her leg.

No one knows

except for me.

Let go.

Officer Zheng.

Officer Zheng.

Officer Zheng.

You listen to me.

Ms. Li won't sue you,

but she was scared.

She needs to stay at another hotel tonight.

And you should

calm yourself down.

Why should I calm down?

I don't need to calm down.

She's not even my wife.

I've already seen the hotel surveillance.

Even with her mask and hat on,

all the details match.

And...

this just came from the police station.

I'm warning you.

According to Barlandian law,

if you ever behave like that again,

even if she doesn't press charges,

I can detain you anyway.

You better put yourself together.

Officer Zheng.

Do you remember me?

No.

I was with my wife, in here, taking photo.

Do you have a copy?

No copy.

Where is the camera man?

We're closing down.

(SHOP FOR SALE)

You remember?

Before, I with my wife in here, you took a photo?

I don't remember.

Huo Ran.

How is it?

I can't find anything.

She doesn't even have a profile photo.

What's going on?

I can't explain over the phone.

I just need her pictures right now.

Doesn't she have any friends or relatives in China?

You know about her too.

She came back from abroad just over a year ago.

Then...

from abroad...

Talk to you later.

(Can I call you now?)

(I'm He Fei, Muzi's husband. Friend me.)

Stop.

Stop.

Stop.

Stop.

Dangerous.

You dropped something.

Thank you.

Ma'am.

This surveillance camera in your place.

How long does it store the recording?

Can you show me the footage...

on this date?

Are you a police, detective or a lawyer?

Got any credentials?

I'm looking for someone.

I...

- My wife... - Darling.

You're following me?

Stop it.

Let's talk back home.

Ma'am.

How much?

Twenty-five.

You guys had a fight?

Ma'am.

Please tell me.

How can I watch the surveillance footage?

Only with the presence of a police officer.

Isn't your wife right here?

He Fei.

Enough is enough, all right?

(OFFICER ZHENG)

Stop.

That's my wife.

That's the real Li Muzi.

Ma'am, keep playing.

Yes.

This is it.

Stop.

Could you zoom in, please

This is the evidence you...

asked me here to see?

It's impossible.

Impossible.

Enough. Don't take this pill anymore.

The doctor asked you to stop.

What are you doing?

Give it back to me.

Give it back to me.

Give it back to me.

No way.

Stop.

Now you're assaulting a police officer.

What's this?

It's for my headache.

This is a prescription drug under secondary control.

Where did you get it?

I told you.

Just some regular headache pills.

Give me the medicine.

Tell me.

What's the deal with this medicine?

Let go of me.

You don't want to talk?

Or I'll bring him back to the police station.

Don't

I'll tell you.

Actually, I think you can tell.

He Fei.

He has a neurological condition.

Cerebral malfunction

caused by years of deep diving.

Abnormal discharge of neuron

leads to intermittent convulsion of facial muscles.

If you can afford it,

I suggest you take some

imported drugs for neurological restoration.

That's why the doctor recommended this medicine.

It was very effective.

Except we didn't expect

the side effects.

At first, it was just forgetfulness and anxiety.

Later,

he became bad-tempered and irritable.

Even delusional.

He Fei.

Are you okay?

He Fei.

He Fei, I'm scared.

Bullshit.

She's making all this up.

Don't believe a word of it.

In fact.

He never really hurt me.

Officer Zheng.

I know he caused you a lot of trouble.

Liar.

- Shut up. - He didn't mean it.

Liar. Shut up.

He Fei.

Can't you see your wife's been protecting you this whole time?

For the last time, I'm telling you.

My wife is missing.

She...

is not my wife.

Then I'm telling you for the last time.

Your request to file a missing person case

has been officially rejected.

Stop calling me.

Sorry. Sorry.

I know he was innocent at the first place.

We believe in justice and we won.

No more comments. Thank you.

Let's go.

Chris, what's on the news?

A very difficult case.

Several countries were involved.

So were the police and mafia.

Stirred quite a fuss.

Is the lady with short hair a police officer?

Chen Mai.

She's a big-shot international lawyer.

The defendant hired her as a walk-free pass.

This woman has never lost a case.

Everyone thought it was going to be a settlement,

until she fished out new evidence

all by herself.

Turned the table.

Can lawyers investigate evidence by themselves?

Only if they want to win.

Isn't that her?

Mind if I join you?

Let's get into the business.

What kind of trouble are you in?

How did you know?

The fact that you came to me says it all.

You know what I do.

Actually, it's...

a friend of mine.

His wife went missing when

travelling overseas.

And then this strange woman showed up,

claiming to be his wife.

She even framed him,

saying that I...

I mean my friend, is mentally ill.

Anyway,

now, even the police don't believe him.

In your opinion,

what should he do?

I suggest this friend to fly home as soon as possible.

Why?

His brain is absolutely fine.

How can he prove that

he's telling the truth.

Can he?

Now he...

Your turn.

How long has your friend been married?

One year.

Only one year?

In that case, it's not worth it.

He should leave.

Just because they haven't been married that long,

doesn't mean they don't love each other.

Have you heard of the story of the female tourist

in the dressing room?

There were these newly weds

who came to Southeast Asia on vacation.

One day, in their excitement,

they went shopping together.

Honey.

And the wife just vanished.

The police had no clue.

Maybe those cops were in on it themselves.

In the end, the man had to leave in grief.

Until a few years later,

he went on a business trip to another Southeast Asian country.

One night,

a co-worker took him to a nightclub putting on freak shows.

Help me.

You may know marriage.

But I know people.

Some of them, you shouldn't mess with.

Welcome to Southeast Asia.

Chris.

Those on me.

Ms. Chen.

Ms. Chen.

What if my friend wants some help?

From you, perhaps.

You're experienced

and familiar with the local situation.

As long as I can build the case.

I refuse.

Money won't be a problem.

I don't work for clients who don't trust me.

Your friend doesn't trust me.

(VISA EXPIRES IN 3 DAYS)

Chen.

I do believe that

you could get me off the hook in any circumstances.

Even if I was guilty.

You were innocent at the first place, weren't you?

Congratulations. And pleasure working with you.

Likewise.

Any time again.

Ms. Chen.

It's not my friend.

It's me.

I'm in big trouble.

And I don't have much time.

Three more days.

My visa is about to expire.

Can you please help me?

That's what happened.

How exactly did she do it?

I still can't figure it out.

She didn't.

They probably did.

They?

A crime syndicate

with well-devised plans and explicit targets.

A very powerful organization.

What are they after?

Money?

What kind of person is Li Muzi?

She...

She is gentle,

kind,

and introverted.

She doesn't like talking to strangers.

Loves painting

and...

How did you guys meet?

I don't think that has anything to do with the case.

Of course it does.

She's the key to everything.

She's the one who disappeared.

About a year ago.

I was a diving instructor then.

What's the matter with you?

How could you leave a trainee there alone?

The strap on my mask was broken.

I thought it would only take a minute.

I'm sorry.

Don't apologize to me.

Say it to her.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'm leaving.

Are you all right?

Have you ever had one of those moments

when you feel like something cuts through your soul?

That's a tacky line, I know.

But it's true.

At that moment, the whole world went silent.

It was just me and her.

So you two fell in love at first sight?

I did.

I fell in love with her at first sight.

Are you all right?

I'm sorry.

It's totally our fault.

But you mustn't go into the water by yourself, ever.

You always need a diving buddy,

so that when there's danger,

your diving buddy can get you out of it.

Do you remember the underwater signs?

The oxygen tank is leaking.

Get me up there.

I can't breathe.

Okay?

Okay.

So, I...

I should go...

Bye.

You like The Starry Night, too?

Van Gogh.

A successful loser.

Just like me.

Thank you for today.

The Starry Night is also my favorite painting.

Really?

You know, even from the bottom of the ocean

you can see a beautiful sky full of stars?

A starry sky under the sea?

Yeah.

I can show you in the future.

Your food is here.

Thank you.

(HE FEI: ARE YOU THERE? HAVE YOU EATEN?)

(1 SAW YOUR PAINTING ONLINE. I LOVE IT!)

(1 SAW YOUR PAINTING ONLINE. I LOVE IT!)

(YOUR BIGGEST FAN CAN'T WAIT TO SEE MORE!)

(HE FEI: LOOK UP AT THE SKY!) (THE STARS ARE SO BEAUTIFUL)

- Bye. - Bye.

(THERE IS A VAN GOGH ART EXHIBIT IN SUZHOU NEXT MONTH.)

(MAY I INVITE YOU?)

I repeated this routine of answering my own questions for a month.

Just when I thought it was hopeless,

it happened.

You're laughing at me.

No.

I'm just happy to see you happy, that's all.

Anyway, it's a shame.

I wish I knew as much about art or Van Gogh,

so that I could talk about it with you.

Says who?

You may not know the strokes or skills,

but I think you really...

understand his works.

- Really? - Yeah.

Next time you go to see Van Gogh,

I'll go with you.

Great.

Fabulous.

She won.

Who?

Manman.

Manman.

Yes.

Manman is Muzi's best friend.

And her only friend.

I think they met when studied abroad.

Manman

is a stage play director, I think.

You think?

You don't really know this woman?

We didn't get a chance to meet.

She seemed to have some prejudice against me.

Manman, he's a good man.

I know you worry about me.

But I trust He Fei.

As much as I trust you.

I also trust my own judgment.

Then, Muzi said she hoped I could be friends with Manman

and asked us to friend each other on WeChat.

But I just found out yesterday

that she blocked me.

Why did she not like you?

Muzi comes...

from a really wealthy family.

Compared to her,

I'm nobody.

So, this Manman...

What else do you know about her?

She has a tattoo on her chest.

See?

It's the one on her profile photo.

Besides,

I only saw one picture of her.

Manman won Best Directing Prize at the

Swedish Drama Festival, see?

Okay.

Please come as soon as you can.

It's okay. Don't be afraid.

I called for help.

I won't let anything happen to you again.

Trust me.

Three days after the accident.

We went to register.

It was a little fast,

but honestly,

it's the best decision

I've ever made in my life.

The year after that,

we were truly happy.

So, the only photo you have of her is that one from the back.

I took it myself.

It is her, unmistakably.

All the other photos and video clips...

are replaced by that strange woman.

I've never seen her before.

Mr. He.

As your lawyer, I need two things from you.

Number one, your absolute trust.

That means no secrets or lies.

Can you do that?

So, you'll help me?

Let's go.

The Blue Dream Studio.

I'll email you the contract later.

But I've been to that place.

Found nothing.

And number two:

Do as I say, no questions asked.

You take the wheel.

Sorry, the shop is on sale.

Try the other one.

You.

You came here yesterday?

Oh, yes.

We're here to check out your store for new business.

Best, best location on the whole island.

Come on.

Come on.

Let me show you around.

You can see the room...

What a mess.

What happened?

Bummer.

Thunder storm, days ago.

Window broken.

The server was break down.

Hard business.

But it'll be fine.

You just buy a new one.

So, the window still leaks?

Yeah.

I don't think it'll work.

Are you OK? Are you right?

- You okay? - Fine.

Seems like a setup.

What?

It's a setup.

Damn. That must be Hassel.

Hassel?

The photographer who took our pictures.

He complained the hot weather,

moved the server to the window.

And it got rained.

That's him.

It's him.

He caused the trouble

and he quitted.

Anything else?

Anyone came to see him?

A young lady?

How do you know that?

What's your business?

This Hassel guy.

He must be working for the syndicate.

If only we could find him.

Ms. Chen.

You got any ideas?

The message has been sent out.

My people are searching.

So where are we going next?

The second-hand bookstore...

- or? - To your hotel first.

I need you to tell me

exactly what happened before Li Muzi disappeared.

Hi, Chris.

Have you reserved my seats?

With the best view of the fireworks.

Relax. It's all set.

Honey.

Are you ready?

If we don't leave now,

we'll get stuck in traffic jam because of the carnival.

I'm not feeling very well.

Why don't you go first?

I'll be there later.

What's wrong?

In what way are you not feeling well?

Do you want to see a doctor?

I just want to be alone for a while.

Acting cute...

That's unlike the Li Muzi you described to me.

At the time I thought it was weird too.

But then again, it was our anniversary.

She might have prepared a surprise for me.

So, I let her.

How should I know...

Drink, drink, drink.

That is amazing.

Who can beat this man right here?

Who can break a Heat Wave record?

Who will be our next challenger?

Is it you?

Is it you?

Are you guys ready to drink?

Who will be our next challenger?

Is it you?

Who will be our next challenger?

Who can break a Heat Wave record guys?

Let the spotlight shine on the next challenger.

[t is Mr. He from China.

No, no, no.

I got to go.

You got to drink.

You got to drink man, come on.

My wife is waiting for me.

Come on, man.

Drink, drink, drink.

Come on.

OK,OK. Come on.

Who the hell is in there?

Get the fuck out of there, man.

Get the fuck out of there, man.

Hurry up!

What the hell, you die in there, man?

Come on, man, hurry up.

What's taking you so long, man?

What the fuck is wrong with you?

Sorry.

Sorry, guy, okay?

I said sorry, okay?

No, get over.

Honey?

Anyone seen my wife? From 801.

- 8017 - Yeah.

Mrs. He, right?

She seemed... left here already, sir.

But I still can't figure out

what could possibly make her stay alone?

Ms. Chen.

You don't think...

something bad happened to her, do you?

All I know is

she didn't know she would never return.

Because no artist

would throw away their instrument of creation.

Just like how people never change their reading habits.

It's the same.

23'14"

They bought different books.

Go back to 1'28".

It's edited.

They replaced it with a fake footage.

Not only that.

They devised this intricate plan

just to reel you in.

Have you noticed the manager in the hotel lobby?

A lobby manager

wearing a pair of Lotos glasses worth tens of thousands.

This is a luxury hotel

and you guys stayed in a villa suite,

lavishing your money.

Plus your neurological condition.

So, these pills

became the perfect tool to frame you.

Certainly,

in order to be flawless,

they also slipped you some sleeping pills.

It was while you were asleep

that their master plan panned out.

I'm counting on you.

I want to see your CC camera.

This.

Finally, everything was ready.

They just needed you to wake up.

As for the police,

their computer system is at least ten years behind

compared to what we have back home.

So, for a skilled hacker

Modifying the data

is easy.

But even if the manager was involved in all this,

what about the waiters?

Mandela Effect.

What was that?

By feeding people details and hints continuously,

a memory can be formed out of habit.

Let's say you always see a person

at a supermarket

sitting behind the checkout counter,

you'll tend to believe that

he's the cashier.

Or this woman you mentioned

was always wearing your wife's clothes,

following you around.

Honey.

So the hotel staff

would naturally think

that she is Mrs. He.

Here's your card.

Thank you.

There is another loophole.

How can they be sure

that my wife wouldn't come back?

There are two possibilities.

One,

they knew exactly where Li Muzi would be.

And two,

they were responsible for Li Muzi's disappearance.

Based on what we know so far,

the second one is more likely.

Anyway, to find out the truth,

there's only one way.

Here she comes.

The woman impersonating my wife.

Come on.

You can't be seen.

Honey.

Who says you can come in as you wish?

Let's call a truce.

I reserved the seats at the beach restaurant.

Tonight.

We're going to get super drunk.

And start all over again tomorrow.

What do you say?

Mrs. He.

Hello.

I'm Mr. He's lawyer.

Chen Mai.

Since when...

do lawyers work in the bathroom?

The world is full of surprises,

and accidents, too.

You two catch up, I should leave.

My bag.

Thank you.

Ms. Chen.

Ms. Chen.

Ms. Chen.

What was that about?

Don't you want to know the truth?

But you can't leave me here alone, I...

Don't forget.

Fake or not, she's still your wife.

Honey.

You look so handsome tonight.

Go ahead.

Just tell me what you people want.

What are you talking about?

Still mad at me?

Can't you be a little more honest?

Honest?

All right.

What do you think we should do?

Truth...

or dare?

Are you sure we're doing this?

Of course.

It's our anniversary.

Keep up the act if you want.

I just want to know where she is.

She who?

Honey.

I'm right here.

Or...

you're thinking about someone else?

Everything in this world

has a price.

Like this Beef Wellington.

No matter how complicated the process is

or how expensive the raw materials are.

In the end,

it's all just numbers.

So, I don't care what you aim at.

Make an offer.

I'll take it.

But I don't like steak.

I like seafood.

Grilled slowly over mild heat.

It's worse than death.

And it tastes especially fine.

Aren't you afraid that it might give you diarrhea?

That you'll end up losing everything like your victim?

It's only natural for the winner to take all.

Want to make peace?

On what grounds?

That I have money.

And money can even buy the devil's soul.

Devil who?

For example,

A big-shot lawyer

competent, capable, never loses a case.

I can ask for her help

in exposing the schemes of certain evil doers.

She'll even help me sue them

and take away everything they own.

What a coincidence.

I hired someone, too.

Dean Yang of Anning Mental Hospital.

I consulted him on a certain matter.

In case a mental patient acts violently during acute episodes,

what should the patient's family do?

Care to guess...

what he told me?

He said...

In Barlandia,

a mental patient's next of kin

has full custody.

Which means...

If you have a psychotic episode,

as your wife,

I'm entitled to

have you hospitalized against your will.

Also,

I get to dispose all your property.

She's bluffing. Don't buy it.

I didn't believe him at first either.

So, I called Officer Zheng to confirm.

The police

wouldn't lie, would he?

It's true.

Stop beating around the bush.

Just name your price.

I will make sure the hospital

treats you like a baby.

You won't have to worry about anything.

You should know,

I'm not the nice guy you think I am.

This could end very ugly for both of us.

I don't care if you're nice or not.

Honey,

I want...

every...

little...

bit...

of you.

You don't think I'll do it?

I can destroy you right here right now.

Great.

That's exactly what I want.

Don't you get it, honey?

I take pleasure

in torturing you so.

Honey,

I'm sorry. Don't beat me.

No.

Get up now.

Get up now.

Come on.

- Stop beating me. - Get up now.

I'm sorry.

I said get up, you hear me?

Stop pretending.

On your feet.

- Please don't hurt me. - Sir.

Get up now.

Stop it.

Get up.

Stop it.

Get up, you hear me?

Get up.

Sir.

Stop it.

What do you think you're doing.

She is a liar.

A fucking liar.

Let go.

That woman is crazy.

In the eyes of others, you are the one that's crazy.

I could take it no more.

She cornered me.

Popping pills, calling the police without evidence,

can't recognize your own wife,

sexual assaulting, threatening and beating a woman in public.

Who do you think the judge would believe with all that evidence?

She wanted you to beat her tonight.

And you did, she won.

What about the things she said?

Did you record everything?

It's all evidence.

At least it proves that she's not my wife.

The recording can hardly be used as evidence in court.

None of what she said can really prove

she has anything to do with your wife's disappearance.

So, what do we do now?

What'll be our next move?

Find the real Li Muzi.

Do you think

they know where she is?

I don't think they did it.

What do you mean?

If I were the kidnapper.

Isn't it easier to just ask for a ransom?

Instead of taking all this time and effort

setting you up, threatening and manipulating you.

Why bother?

They're bluffing.

The problem is

they are now in control of the situation.

I'm afraid that when your real wife turns up

they'll make her disappear for good.

They've followed us all night.

Even when you were at dinner.

What do we...

Rest assured. We'll find the evidence.

I've sent people to look for your wife too.

What we need to do now is stay calm.

And wait for them to slip up.

But...

I don't have much time left.

A busy person, aren't you?

Anything on Muzi?

Be patient.

One thing is for sure.

They wouldn't try anything else tonight.

He Fei.

He Fei.

He Fei.

He Fei.

He Fei.

He Fei.

He Fei.

He Fei.

Help me, He Fei.

He Fei.

He Fei, wake up now.

Help me, He Fei.

(VISA EXPIRES IN 2 DAYS)

Where are we going?

Do you get carsick?

Fasten your seat belt.

Where on earth are we going?

Should we call the police?

On what?

Car racing?

They are getting more reckless.

- Like they're above the law. - Quiet.

Evidence.

It's all evidence.

Ms. Chen.

Ms. Chen.

Wait.

Go.

Here.

Come on.

Here.

Here.

Come on.

Here.

Call the police.

We should call the police now.

By the time the police arrive, the evidence will be gone.

But they have guns.

And they aren't afraid to use them.

I don't think the police would turn a blind eye to this.

What if they have someone on the inside?

What if there's a mole?

What are we going to do then?

Now, what are we...

suppose to do now?

No.

My visa expires in two days.

I can't go back like this.

He Fei, what else are you not telling me?

What do you mean?

Who is K?

A friend back home.

He Fei.

You're a gambler.

Why didn't you tell me?

Did your wife know?

Did you two have a fight over it?

No.

That has nothing to do with this case.

A woman thought...

she was in love with a decent man and got married.

It turned out her decent husband is a gambler.

She has no choice but to retaliate

by creating chaos.

- She wants you tortured and harassed. - Impossible.

- She wants you to live in hell. - Impossible.

You have no idea.

Muzi loves me.

She wouldn't do that to me.

Then how do you explain this?

Why did she cancel her return ticket?

Someone else must have cancelled it for her.

Then why are huge withdrawals still being made

from her bank account now that she's disappeared?

I have no idea.

Only one person knows so much about you

and is sure that

Li Muzi will not return.

That person is no other

but herself.

Impossible.

Absolutely impossible.

What are you trying to hide from me?

What are you afraid of?

That I'll finally find out who is behind everything?

And it turns out to be her?

- It's Li Muzi. - I said stop.

- It's your own wife. - I said stop.

Yes?

How did the search go?

Okay.

Bye.

Before I met my wife,

No.

I had been a loser

since the day I was born.

I was born in a small town by the sea.

My father was an alcoholic.

And my mother cared for nothing

except playing cards.

It's like my whole family was

sleepwalking most of the time.

I was doing great in school though.

However, given my family's situation,

I didn't go to college.

Later,

I went to Shanghai alone.

Excuse me, passing through.

I struggled to survive.

Switching jobs all the time.

Until I became an instructor

at a diving school.

Life was finally stable.

Even so, my monthly salary

could barely cover the expenses

(YOU RECEIVED A DEPOSIT OF 5,0000 YUAN) after I paid my rent.

I wanted so much to be somebody

in the big city.

I just couldn't find a way.

Then, one day...

(BILLIONS IN CASH PRIZES)

I thought at that time,

it'd be just a couple hundred.

If I lost, I'd call it entertainment.

But I won.

So, I wanted to win some more.

Occasional losses didn't stop me.

Actually, I was quite lucky as a gambler.

I believed god was watching over me.

While closing all the doors,

he left a window open.

After that,

my addiction got worse.

During that time,

money was nothing to me

but chips

and numbers.

Player check.

(EASY CHARGE LOAN)

(GET A LOAN INSTANTLY)

(CONFIRM LOAN)

I didn't even remember how much I won

or how much I lost, either.

The only thing I remembered

was the pleasure

of gambling itself.

No matter how much money I lost,

as long as I was at the table,

I believed that I'd win it back.

Till one day,

when I realized I would

never be able to pay off all my debts.

Take off your hat.

Go on.

I woke up from the dream

but I can no longer face the reality.

And that was when...

I met Muzi.

She was a ray of light

that shone upon my world.

We were in love.

Before we got married,

I couldn't bear to lie to her anymore,

and I wanted to free myself from my old life for good.

So, I told her everything.

What are you going to do?

I will work hard

and pay off my debts as soon as I can.

You owe so much.

How are you ever gonna pay it off?

That's my problem.

But I don't want to lie to you anymore.

If you want to call the whole thing off,

it's still not too late.

If you are being truthful about changing,

I am willing to give you a second chance.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Muzi.

I won't gamble anymore.

You have my word.

I will never gamble again.

(LETTER OF ASSURANCE)

I managed to pay off the debts,

but deep down,

I felt guilty towards Muzi.

And the feeling never went away.

Did you ever gamble again?

Absolutely not.

I took over her parents' company.

Business has been good.

Then why did K call you?

Trying to bring me back, I guess.

Chen Mai.

I didn't mean to keep this from you.

It's just that I chose to

let that part of my past go.

I can swear on my life that

Muzi would never lie to me.

Let alone take revenge.

I trust her.

And I'm asking you to trust me too.

Help me find the truth, will you?

(VISA EXPIRES IN 1 DAY)

Good news and bad news.

Which one should I tell you first?

Your call.

His name is Parkan.

Went to a detention center at the age of 14

for manslaughter.

Then he worked as a mercenary for six years.

Was charged with a number of felonies during that period.

Walked away every time due to lack of evidence.

I sorted this out based on his parole files.

He is currently working for an

offshore company registered in the Cayman Islands.

Investigation suggested that

this company was involved in every case

of missing wealthy businessmen

in Southeast Asia over the past five years.

And after these businessmen mysteriously disappeared,

all their properties

were put under the supervision of so-called family members

then eventually transferred overseas.

Apparently they're determined to take everything.

What's the good news?

Hassel.

We found him.

He promised to testify for us for 200,000.

He's got a copy of the original photos of you and Muzi.

Whatever he wants,

I'll give it to him

as long as he helps.

As your lawyer, I suggest you fly back home ASAP.

These people are malefactors.

Every minute you stay here

you'll be in grave danger.

What about Muzi?

During the worst of days,

she didn't give up on me.

So now

I will not abandon her.

Your visa expires in one day.

I know.

That's why I booked the last flight today.

Let's try one more time.

If we still can't find her,

at least we can get some evidence.

Enough for the police to file a case.

Okay.

You won't be able to explain after going home anyway.

I'll be back as soon as I get my visa renewed.

I'm not giving up on her.

Go to Officer Zheng once we're done with Hassel.

All right.

What are we doing here?

Meeting Hassel.

Is there a problem?

No.

Of course not.

Money.

Disk.

- Money. - Check what's on it first.

OK, OK.

You guys know her?

Sorry?

She rented my equipment and hasn't returned.

You sure?

For sure, I still got her deposit.

Impossible.

Wrong person.

Whatever.

Now we have a witness and physical evidence.

Let's see what those cops will say.

Let's go.

Come on.

Slow down.

- Go. - Slow down.

Did Li Muzi go diving?

Impossible.

That man got it wrong.

Muzi is a beginner.

She is afraid to go diving in open water by herself.

Are you that sure about her?

What if I was right?

That she planned everything.

I told you a thousand times.

Impossible.

Can you quiet down?

I can't focus on my game.

Thank you. Thank you.

How many things are you not telling me?

I have reasons to doubt that

Li Muzi is behind all this.

I'm gonna tell you for the last time.

I'm not hiding anything from you.

It's simply impossible that

any of this has anything to do with Muzi.

How can you be so sure?

What the fuck are you doing?

You made me hurt, okay?

More money, now.

Shut up.

Did you do something wrong?

Let's not waste time here, okay?

Officer Zheng is still waiting for us.

I need to know the truth.

What truth?

I need to know the truth.

What truth?

I need to know the truth.

What truth do you need?

I've told you everything, even things I'm not supposed to say.

You have it all.

What more do you want?

Are you gonna drive or not?

Yes or no?

We're not going, are we?

Get out.

When I took this case,

Do you remember what you promised me?

As your lawyer, I need to know the truth.

Enough.

You're no longer my lawyer.

You're fired. Fired.

You heard me?

Run.

Go.

What do you want?

Don't come any closer.

Don't come any closer.

Don't come any closer.

I'm warning you.

Stay where you are.

Honey.

Looking for this?

You still think you can get away?

I give up.

You win.

How much do you want?

I'll give it to you.

I'll pay.

Just leave me alone, okay?

Leave me alone.

Please?

Who says we want your money?

What do you want then?

What the hell do you want?

Didn't I tell you?

I want

every little

bit of you.

I want

every little

bit of you.

What's this place?

What's going on?

Why are you tying me up?

Say something.

- Talk. - Mr. He.

You're awake.

Don't get excited.

You're in the middle of an acute episode.

Go and tell Mrs. He that the patient is awake.

OK.

Mrs. He?

No, no.

She's not my wife.

She's a liar.

She wants to kill me.

Doctor, please.

I believe you.

Mr. He.

Take it easy.

Breathe.

OK.

OK.

I'm okay.

Believe me.

Prepare a double dose of Diazepam.

No.

No.

Trust me.

Trust me.

It's gonna be all right, Mr. He.

Don't get excited.

No.

No.

No.

Officer Zheng.

They want to silence me.

I found the evidence.

I really did. I'm not crazy.

I'm not crazy.

You're one of them.

Thank you, Dr. Louis.

We will perform the surgery in half an hour.

Surgery?

What surgery?

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

What surgery?

Get your hands off me.

Don't touch me.

Don't touch me.

Don't touch me.

Don't touch me.

Get your hands off me.

Murderers.

You murderers.

Don't come over.

Don't come over.

Don't come near me.

Stop there.

Stop there.

It's me.

There you are.

I knew you'd come for me.

They're gonna kill me.

They want to shut me up.

They'll be here soon.

Come on, quick.

What are you waiting for?

Hurry up and untie me.

It's useless, He Fei.

They owned the doctor.

Submitted evidence of your illness.

Scheduled the frontal lobotomy surgery for you.

Also, minutes ago,

Zheng Cheng issued an order for arrest across the island.

I'm wanted for Hassel's murder, apparently.

We're doomed now.

Aren't you a big-shot lawyer?

What are you trying to say to me?

This time it's different.

I knew they are powerful

but I didn't anticipate that

they've got everyone in their pocket.

What do we do now?

You can't leave me here to die.

Unless.

Unless what?

Unless we find the real Li Muzi.

This is our only chance to turn the table.

So, He Fei?

Where is she?

What?

Drop the act.

You know where she is.

She's missing.

You and I have been looking for her.

Are you absolutely sure that the night she disappeared

you didn't see her?

Of course I didn't.

Still in character.

If you didn't react the way you did

at the diving place the other day,

I wouldn't have thought that

you're the one playing the game here.

He Fei.

You sure?

For sure, I still got her deposit.

Impossible.

Wrong person.

Why, before Li Muzi disappeared,

did she go and rent diving gear for two.

One of which was your size.

And that day, you told the bar owner that

you were going to give your wife

a surprise during the firework show.

Hey, Chris.

Have you reserved my seats?

With the best view of the fireworks.

But that's not what you told

to Li Muzi.

One of the company's clients

happens to be here on vacation.

He heard that I was here

and insisted that

I go to see him tonight.

Does it have to be tonight?

Yeah, he's going home tomorrow morning.

Honey.

I promised to show you

a starry sky under the sea

But you...

It'll be over soon.

Go wait for me at Luna Bay

Don't worry.

Tonight,

no one is more important than you.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

I was at the bar all night.

Everyone at the bar can testify for me.

They just thought you were there all the time.

In fact, you know very well

about the Mandela Effect, don't you?

Hey, Chris.

Not only do you know.

You are quite the expert.

From that moment to 10:00 PM,

you had 80 minutes,

which was more than enough to make a round trip.

You did come back.

Except...

you came back alone.

What the fuck man?

What the hell's wrong with you?

I must admit, it was...

an extremely risky plan.

Even the smallest mistake

would cost you everything.

So, you must have been

planning it for a long time.

Bullshit.

You are making ridiculous assumptions.

For a person, the hardest thing to change,

and the easiest thing to ignore,

is old habit.

I know a lot of diving instructors

have the habit

of recording their diving time on the watch

before every dive

to help them keep track of

the starting time.

I believe your encounter with Li Muzi was accidental.

But can you promise that

what happened after that was pure coincidence?

He Fei.

You hit the jackpot.

Guess who that girl you saved the other day is?

Who?

Take a look.

(XINGCHUAN GROUP'S PRESIDENT AND WIFE DIED IN CAR CRASH)

(SOLE DAUGHTER INHERITS BILLIONS)

Enough.

Stop talking.

What do you want?

I want my name off the most-wanted list.

He Fei, can't you see?

I don't care what you did.

I just want to live.

And finding Li Muzi

is our only hope.

Just tell me where she is.

All I have to do is make a phone call

and the chief of police and a judge

will be here.

Trust me.

Even if they put you on trial now,

I'll have absolutely no problem exonerating you.

You know,

dead people don't talk.

Suicide.

Accident.

Adultery.

I can make up any excuse.

I just need you to tell me

where she is now.

I have no idea.

There's no time, He Fei.

They bribed the doctor.

On the operating table,

you'll be treated as a piece of meat.

Totally at their mercy.

Are you willing to give up like this?

I don't care what happens to you.

Just don't take me down with you.

Last chance, He Fei.

Tell me.

Come on.

Tell me.

Tell me.

Tell me.

Mohsha Lighthouse.

Mohsha Lighthouse.

Mohsha Lighthouse.

Mohsha Lighthouse.

Mohsha Lighthouse.

I left her there alone.

I had no choice.

She kept saying that she loved me.

But she was just like everyone else.

She only loved money.

Didn't care if I would die or not.

K.

K.

I'll pay you back.

I will.

Did they come to meet you?

What did they say?

Does it matter what they said?

I really believed that you've changed.

Yet you started gambling again.

Ten million, He Fei?

You're insane.

I already told them

that I won't give you another dime.

Honey.

Honey, I was wrong.

Please give me another chance.

Do you remember what you said?

I don't know you anymore, He Fei.

I'm begging you.

Help me one last time.

You don't know what they're gonna do to me.

I'm begging you.

Please help me.

Honey, please help me.

Will you help me?

Please.

Please.

He Fei.

If I help you now,

you'll only get worse.

(DIVORCE AGREEMENT)

(WIFE, LI MUZI)

(MISSING WOMAN PRESUMED DEAD ALL ASSETS GO TO NEXT OF KIN)

(MISSING PERSON, DEATH, INHERITING BILLIONS)

She gave me no choice.

If she had agreed to help me,

none of this would've happened.

So, this anniversary

was just an elaborate plan to kill your wife.

You were desperate to file a case just to inherit her money.

Honey, you're back.

What is this?

Sit.

It's been a while for us

to have a candlelight dinner together.

I cooked everything myself.

Try it.

Actually,

I have something to tell you.

I have something to tell you, too.

Why don't you go first?

No, you go.

Honey.

I want to apologize from the bottom of my heart.

I quit gambling.

And I told them I'd pay back the money

by installments.

Let's leave those bad things to the past

and start anew.

Okay?

Really?

Next week is our one-year anniversary.

I've booked plane tickets and hotel.

Give me a chance to fulfill my promise.

Taking you to see the starry sky under the sea.

Okay?

Thank you, honey.

Right,

what were you gonna say?

Never mind.

I need to take this.

You know,

she should be blamed for treating me ruthlessly.

Have our wedding vows no sanctity?

In poverty

or wealth.

To have and to hold from this day forward.

Did she live up to her vows?

You're shameless.

That's how she helped me.

You're shameless.

There's no shame in wanting to succeed.

How is that shameless?

I did all this to become good enough for her.

To be worthy of her.

What's wrong with that?

No.

I just don't have rich parents as she does.

Is it more noble for her to spend her family's money?

No.

I was born inferior.

To the wrong house.

What kind of person is Li Muzi?

It's you.

It's me.

Muzi's best friend.

Shen Man.

No, no.

My mom...

Shut up.

Do you know that if you jump

you'll become very ugly

no matter how pretty you are right now.

I don't want to see you like that.

Why?

You don't even know me.

I do now.

My name is Li Muzi. And you are?

My name is Shen Man.

You can also call me Manman.

Fabulous.

See you.

Have a nice trip.

Ladies and gentlemen,

Next, please, let's welcome the best director of the year.

Miss Shen Man.

Jane.

I think you should look more elegant, like...

Raising your hands slower like a swan.

And you should be more aggressive

grabbing his neck.

Yeah.

Right.

(I'll SEE THE STARRY SKY UNDER THE SEA TODAY!)

(STAY SAFE. LET ME KNOW AS SOON AS YOU GET BACK!)

Ma'am, your coffee.

Please.

What did the police say?

They can't file a case without the body.

Let's go.

I'm sure

this is where the signal died on Muzi's cell.

What if it wasn't him?

If so,

why did he not mention the dive?

Let's ask him straightforwardly.

A gambler.

You think he'll just come clean?

Since he has prepared for such a long time

for this show.

Tell the team

I need their help.

We're putting on our own show, too.

You sure about this?

You know whom he reminds me of?

Do it.

Sorry.

I just hate scumbags like you.

I'm going to kill you.

I'm going to kill you.

We found her body.

Any regrets?

Yes.

I regret not finding out about you earlier

so that I could kill you, too.

To bring you to justice,

I did many things I'm not proud of.

And I will face my punishment.

He Fei.

You killed the one person who loved you the most on earth.

I don't know if this will make you

regret what you did.

Manman.

He's taking me to see the starry sky under the sea.

And that's when and where I'm gonna tell him.

I believe he can change,

for me and our baby.
