Hello?

ARTHUR: Mr. Mulray? It's Arthur Bach here.

Apologies this is such short notice,

but we'd like to pick you up in about an hour's time,

if that's okay.

It has to be today?

Yes, I'm afraid so.

Okay. I'll be ready.

It must be odd.

All this.

That's one way of putting it.

So what is this "opportunity"?

Oh, you'll have to wait till we get there.

But trust me, it will get your story noticed.

Well, as long as it gets me the truth.

♪ ♪

-Ms. Hargreaves. -Mr. Bach.

This is Jonah Mulray.

Jonah, Rachel is the number two here at Xo HKI.

Some say she actually runs the place.

People say a lot of things when they want a favor.

-Hmm. -Nice to meet you, Mr. Mulray.

Hello.

You seem familiar.

Have we met before?

I don't believe we have.

Do you care to follow me?

Mr. Xo's waiting in my office.

ARTHUR: Ah, good morning.

Mr. Bach, morning.

Mr. Mulray.

I am Xiadong Xo.

-Nice to meet you. -Please.

(sighs)

RACHEL: We have to be gone in 15 minutes.

ARTHUR: Oh, of course, of course.

I just wanted to introduce you to Jonah Mulray,

whose wife very sadly died

in a car accident here a few days ago.

Sorry for your loss.

Thank you.

Mr. Mulray's wife then disappeared from the morgue.

Administrative error, apparently,

and they still haven't found her.

How awful.

The police have been a joke,

to be honest, since I arrived.

It's not just the body. They took my phone.

I thought you might allow Mr. Mulray a few moments

to tell his story while you're on the campaign trail.

My only concern here is for people to know what's happened.

Hopefully the police department of Hong Kong

will then redouble its efforts.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, hang on, hang on.

No, Mr. Bach. The answer is no.

-What? I don't understand. What's the problem? -Sorry,

could somebody please explain to me what's happening?

I'm sorry, Mr. Mulray.

The consul general is mistaken.

We are unable to help.

Mr. Xo is running for election as chief executive of Hong Kong.

His opponent, the current executive,

is close friends with the chief of police.

If he were to stand up and talk about your wife's disappearance,

it would embarrass Mr. Xo's opponent.

(laughs) That would help you win the election.

It is a cynical political ploy, Mr. Mulray.

It has nothing to do with your wife.

It will not help us find her body,

and it is not the kind of campaign

-we wish to run. -ARTHUR: Now, look here.

-I'm bringing you an opportunity. -This is bullshit.

ARTHUR: I'm trying to bloody help you.

(Xo speaks Cantonese)

Mr. Mulray?

What? Changed your mind?

Mr. Mulray, I am sorry.

I want to help you, but not like that.

What Mr. Bach was suggesting is cheap.

It's not how we do things.

When I heard you were in Hong Kong,

I actually came to your hotel.

I knew Megan.

We both came out to Hong Kong around the same time.

I do know you.

I have a photo of you and Megan together.

We were friends years ago.

I-I didn't want to bring it up in there.

It didn't seem appropriate.

It's strange, because I...

I don't remember her ever talking about you.

We drifted apart.

Married men who were jealous

-of our friendship. -David was jealous?

You know what he's like.

No, I don't.

Tell me.

She was lucky to have you.

Listen...

...meet me here for lunch.

I can grab an hour, I think.

And in the meantime,

let me talk to the detectives in charge of your wife's case.

Xo knows a lot of people.

His name means something,

especially with him on track to becoming chief executive.

I'll call the station and give them a push.

Maybe that'll help.

Hope so.

Thanks.

Ben was mixing with some dangerous people before he died.

I think I can prove his death wasn't suicide.

How can you prove that?

Well, I was just thinking maybe we could help each other.

I can tell you everything I know

Why the hell would I let you do that?

you've made some powerful friends.

I just want answers.

Xiadong Xo has many allies in this department.

I'll be happy to answer whatever you wish to know.

Come.

Mr. Mulray, first you must know that, um,

we are like everyone else.

We outsource to an independent contractor.

They take the bodies from the morgue.

So how the hell did she end up disappearing?

That's what we're trying to find out.

We want to be open.

Like you were with my wife's voice mail?

I can assure you we are not hiding anything.

Unlike your new friend, David Chen.

What's that supposed to mean?

You were seen drinking with him.

Do you know he was dismissed from the force?

I am only concerned for you, Mr. Mulray.

(paper rustling)

So you do know.

I know he was corrupt.

But I don't understand the picture of him with this guy,

Kai Huang.

I can't find anything else about it in English.

Triad gangs in Hong Kong.

Once, it was drugs,

guns, girls.

You've seen the movies.

Now you know the biggest business?

Illegal fishing.

Kai Huang comes from a family of triads.

They own most of Wan Chai fish market.

That's where this photograph was taken.

David Chen was taking bribes from Kai Huang.

So why didn't he go to prison?

He cooperated.

He was a different person after that.

He seemed more volatile,

more aggressive.

Excuse me.

Hi. Hello. How can I help you?

I'm here to see Robin Liu.

Okay. Can I take your name, please?

It's Lau Chen.

Lau Chen.

LIU: Your mother set up

a joint account with your name.

She gave us instructions

to give you access under circumstances such as these.

She never told me about any of this.

When did she open the account?

Does my dad know about this?

I'm afraid I don't have that information.

All I can do is make you aware of the account

and to transfer it into your name.

All you need to do now is choose a password,

and the account is yours.

I'll give you a moment.

♪ ♪

We always had so much fun together.

She was good at remembering to just...

look up and enjoy life.

She was.

You said David was jealous of your relationship.

That isn't entirely fair.

I mean, he's not here to defend himself.

I'm... I'm just trying to understand her.

That's all.

Life's easier in your late 20s.

No... commitments,

career on track, good money.

I suppose we were just a bit wild,

and he didn't like that.

Did he try to stop her seeing you?

He wanted her for himself.

David can be charming when he tries.

I think part of her wanted stability,

a strong man.

David got lucky.

She was better than he deserved.

And instead of it making him happy,

it made him insecure.

Angry?

Was she frightened of him?

Why are you asking me these questions?

I talked to the police--

thanks to you, um...

and the detective that I spoke to

wasn't exactly effusive in his praise for David.

Basically, he's a bent cop,

gambler.

I don't think Megan's death was an accident.

Do you think David killed Megan?

I don't know.

But the police,

they're, they're not saying it's a murder.

Who knows how many friends he's still got on the force?

I think you should stay away from David Chen.
