NIGHTFALL
(NOCTURNE)

George Lam, you're drunk again?

The boss wants you back
for a meeting.

Got it. I'll be there soon.

Who's he?

Grab drinks from the fridge.

Hey. Sit down.

Sit down.

Where have you been all night?
You know what time it is now?

I know, I know.

Who's that?

He's my classmate.

My Dad.
We've got a project to discuss.

Why not go to library?

Go to work. Don't be so
old-fashioned, OK?

We'll stop here. Let's eat first.

OK.
- Yes, sir.

Let's grab a bite.
- Hey let's eat.

George.

You stay behind.
I want to talk to you.

REGIONAL CRIME UNIT

Why did you apply to
reopen that old case?

I've gone through materials again.
Something doesn't look right.

It doesn't look like a suicide.

I suspect the man was murdered.

Let me tell you. They've been solved.

And that's that. Don't waste
police effort anymore.

Chief, even if a case is closed, it
doesn�t mean the truth was uncovered.

The point of investigating is
to dig out the truth.

You know how many
old cases you've dug up?

Just one has been worth it so far.

It's fine if you don't care about
promotion, but don't drag others down.

If one case in 10 can be overturned,

it's not a waste of effort, Chief.

I know.

Your wife's suicide is
still on your mind.

You keep
thinking she was murdered.

It's been five years. Let it go.

Don't mention my wife.

She wouldn�t have
left nothing behind.

Not even a suicide note.

I knew her so well.

She wouldn�t have killed herself.

We've been together since the
Academy. I don't want you to mess up.

Take care.

Yang. You've served your time
and today you'll be out on parole.

We hope 20 years in prison,

helped you reflect on
your crime and reform.

Now you're
going to be released on parole.

To help you
reintegrate into community,

the Social Welfare Department
found you a music store job.

You've got to report to
your parole officer every week.

Here are your personal belongings,

and the prison wages you've earned.

Why didn't you take my call?
- Sorry?

Don't you know
Daddy worries about you?

The timetable
says you finish by 5:30,

and you should be here at 5:45.

What were you doing?
- Hello, Mr. Tsui!

Dean.
- Picking up your daughter?

Yes, Dean.
- I heard your retirement concert sold out fast.

Many fans couldn't get tickets.
You'd better add two more shows.

Ticket sales aren't my concern.

I don't deal with money matters.
I never get involved.

Of course you don't.

Time to go home and practice piano.
- I'd better let you go.

OK. Bye-bye.
- Bye-bye, Dean.

Get in the car.

Who was the boy
staring at you this afternoon?

Why was he smiling at you?
What's your relationship with him?

Nothing.

Nothing?
- Nothing's going on.

What do you mean by nothing?

Say it clearly, won't you?

Don't lie to me!

Don't you lie to me!

I saw how he stared at you.

I saw it!

Ridiculous!

I saw it!

I hit you. You should
find it shameful too.

I'm just trying to teach you.

There are too many
bad people in this world.

Everybody just wants
something from you.

It won't happen again.

What won't happen again?

I won't be with boys anymore.

Remember what you promised to me.

I'm just here to protect you.
I just want to protect you.

You can only be safe by my side.
Do you understand?

No one cares and
loves you more than me.

It's hard to find
a hut with windows.

$3,000 is a total bargain.

BUFFALO HILL

Hey!
- Want to scare me?

You're so chicken-hearted.
See? Isn't my timing perfect?

Are you stalking me?
- Not really. I just want to,

bump into you.

Hurry up!

Why would someone call you?

Who has your phone number?

Who?

Answer the phone.

Zoe, answer the phone.

Who is it?

Someone's calling you.

Take the call!

I told you the phone,

was for your mother and for me to
contact you during emergence.

You give the number to others.

You just give everybody
your phone number.

Daddy knows full
well what those boys think.

They are all monsters!
All they want is your body!

Do you really
want to leave with them?

You're so selfish!
- Really, I didn't.

Stand up.

Don't go to school anymore.

Can you hear me? Don't go to school!

You want to elope with them!
Do you want to do that again?

You want to ruin your life?

Such a hurry.

I've got the cake for you too.

Of course you need
a cake for the birthday.

I nagged my daughter so much
to spend her birthday with me.

Why buy so many things?
Are they yours?

It's yours!
I bought them to you.

Even a kitchen knife?

Can you no pull it out?
Not on the street.

I never go to your place. How can I
tell if you have a knife at home or not?

Really have no idea what to get.

Hey! Digital camera.

What? Me?
- Mhm. Yes.

OK.. OK. I'll help you to buy it.

Also in local news:

A father with serious
heart problems risked his life,

to save his daughter,

by donating half his liver to her.

It's just a liver. For his daughter's
sake, he would even give his life.

The operation was conducted this
morning at Queen Mary Hospital.

Don't you agree?
The liver transplant was a success...

The daughter is stable but the
father is still in critical condition.

Hey! I got it for you.
- Thanks, thanks a lot. Come.

But... How about I carry
the cake to your place?

Why don't you work
on cases if you have time?

Actually, I need
to use your bathroom.

No...no! There's a
toilet over there.

Great! Happy birthday!

Another year older.
- Thank you.

Alo? Know what I'm doing
right now? I'll go back later.

What is it?

The coroner arrived?

Fine, I'll be right there.

Just go.

Sorry, but it's really a big case.
- Just go!

Why all the fuss
about cutting the cake?

Go investigate your
big case, Inspector Lam.

What kind of attitude is that?
- What's wrong with my attitude?

Kids without a
mother around are all like this.

You investigate day and night.

The whole house
is filled with victims' photos.

So why can't you dig
up why Mum killed herself?

How do you know I didn't try? Her
death has nothing to do with me.

I didn't want your Mum to die either.
- It's a waste of time talking to you.

I should have
celebrate with my friends,

instead of cutting
the cake here with you.

Goodbye, victims!

Here. Look this.
- I see.

Well and truly dead.
Much of the victim's skin has been burned.

Totally disfigured.

His face and
fingerprints are burned and mangled.

If you want to
throw up, step aside and wait.

Victim's was found naked.

We've checked the area:
no wallet or no ID on him.

We can't work out his identity yet.

Great. That's plenty to look into.

The victim was severely injured.

Soaked, burned, beaten...
- Say what?

Soaked, burned, beaten, everything.

We need to investigate in the lab
before confirming,

the cause and time of death.

Judging from
the injuries and bloating,

he can't have been
dead more than 24 hours.

The killer is smart.

Tying weights to
sink the victim to the seabed.

Thought no one would find the body.
- So how was the body discovered?

The beach is deserted.
Few people come here.

These people came here to fish today.

One of them
dropped a watch in the water.

They searched for it and found the
dead body too. Isn't it fate?

He even wanted
to hide the victim's identity.

Why go so far
smashing his face up like that?

If it just to hide the identity,
burning would have done the job.

No need to disfigure his face too.

Seems like revenge.

From what we can see,

the police have
surrounded the crime scene.

The police cannot ascertain the
victim's identity at the moment.

SBTV will keep
you updated on the case.

Man Yuen-yee,
News Channel, reporting.

All up, the victim
sustained 28 lethal wounds.

Judging from the
organ damage and bruises,

the cause of
dead is a blow to the head.

The skin on his armpits, and
his inner things is intact.

The burning was post-morten.

Also, there was
alcohol in his bloodstream.

He'd probably drunk a lot.

The murderer must've
been strong to do all this.

Why did he do that?

Why did he make it so complicated?
There must be a reason.

Must have some
connection to the motive.

All this was obviously done,

by the murderer.

What is he trying to hide?

And there's something else.

The body was in the water, but
there's no seawater or sand in the stomach.

Based on the digestion in the
victim's stomach and wound analysis,

the time of dead was
around 10 p.m. two nights ago,

give or take 30 minutes.

NOCTURNE

So the beach isn't the crime scene.

Probably somewhere else.

Another important
discovery is this button.

It was inside the victim's mouth.

Did forensics work
out the victim's identity?

They sent the report an hour ago.
Have a look, sir.

Here's mockup of the victim,

after analyzing the
skull, tissue and DNA.

Wow, this Eurasian is a celebrity!

That'll make the front pages.

Look up everyone in contact
with him and bring them all in.

Mr. and Mrs. Chan, sorry to keep you
waiting. We can go now.

This way, please.

HONG KONG POLICE

Wow, what kind of people are these?

Who would live in
a place like a prison?

That right, my daughter
and I stayed home all night.

Have you finished taking photo?
- I want to ask you another question.

Do you love your husband?
- What do you mean by that?

Of course I do.

No one would love
my husband, as much as I do.

And he loved this home too.

If you love him so
much, weren't you worried that,

he hadn't come home?

Didn't I answer this before?

How could I worry so much?
I don't know.

Daddy would often
go drinking with friends,

or stay in the studio all night.

My husband
was a first-class musician.

He need time to himself.

We're getting old as couple.
I wouldn't bother asking him too much.

Zoe, back to your room.

Wow! Your husband,

put up many of
his photos on the wall.

Over all these years, I
took all those photos of my husband.

Don't mind if I walk around to
appreciate the art, do you?

Don't be too sad.

Be strong.

Don't worry.
We'll do our best to catch the murderer.

Thank you. Thanks
for your hard work.

No. No need to thank us now.

We haven't caught the murderer yet.

Hmm. What a good kid.

Your daddy must
have loved you very much.

We won't finish
checking till next month,

if you keep
adding names to the chart.

I need to check
everyone linked to

the Tsui family within
the next 2 days.

It's like a needle in haystack.

If we expand the investigation to
everyone who knows the Tsui family,

by then murderer might have fled town.

If we don't
investigate, how could we know?

We're not prophets.
- Sorry.

He had another daughter?
- She died 21 years ago.

Eva Tsui? How come
she looks like Zoe Tsui?

She's been dead 21 years.
How to check on her? Check on a ghost?

She's related to the family.
- How did she die?

It's horrible. 21 years ago, someone
broke into her house and raped,

and killed her. The case was solved.

See. Here's the culprit.

Caught
red-handed and sentenced to life.

Give me the case file.

He looks familiar.

Hello?

Hello?

Why are you staring at me?
- I didn't stare at you.

I was looking for you.
I knew you'd be here drinking.

Wow! You stink! When did you last
take a shower? Take a shower!

You're like
this in every investigation!

Hey! You know what?
You've done the right thing.

What do you mean?
- Eva was 18 that year.

A 19-year-old pervert stalked her.

It was some mental problem or he
couldn't stop his obsession.

One night he sneaked into the
house, tried to rape her...

and finally killed her.

It says here she was
seriously assaulted with a heavy object,

and beaten to the dead.

The man's name is Yang.

He was released on
parole two years early last week.

What's more, Zoe
looks a lot like Eva, right?

Zoe Tsui, an
inspector wants to speak to you.

What brought you here?

We want to know
more about your family.

How's your parents' relationship?

Not good.

They seldom talk.

But my mother cares for my dad very
much. Don't suspect her.

We haven't suspect your mother.

Did your parents
ever say you had an elder sister?

What elder sister?
- You had an elder sister,

but she died the year you were born.

Actually, someone tried
to rape her, and beat her to death.

What was her name?

Her name was Eva.

The killer was
just released from jail.

Don't worry. The
cases might not be related,

but you'd better be careful.

This is my number.

Call anytime if anything goes wrong.

Inspector Lam...

Never mind.

Did you notice the girl didn't look
frightened, and became calmer instead.

She looked blank.
What was she thinking?

Could the two cases be connected?

Actually all along only
you've thought they are connected.

No one else does.

Here they comes. Judging from your
look, you got nothing, right?

Depends on how you look at it.

He's up there!
- Watch him!

Here!

Ying!

Shit!

Give way! Get out!

What happens? What happens?

Hello!

I will always be with you.

Hey!
- You scare me all the time.

Ready to eat? Let's go!

Come on. Hurry up.

Don't leave a note
like that again. It's creepy.

What note?

I didn't write this.

I will always be with you.

Are you mute?

The murder of Eva Tsui 20 years ago.
I read the old newspapers.

You first pleaded not guilty, but
then you pleaded guilty later.

Did you really kill Eva Tsui?

No? You didn't kill her?
Or you didn't rape her?

It's all over.
I don't want to mention it.

Was Eva pretty?

You couldn't have
women in prison. How did you cope?

Screwing men? Screwed by men?

I heard you inmates
know how to have fun.

Did you go find
a women when you got it?

You've been holding back for 20
years. How could you bear it?

At your age,
do you still masturbate?

Wow! Such great tolerance?

Do you know Han Tsui is dead?

He was Eva's father.

Do you hate him?

I wanted him to die. So?

So did you kill him?

I'm asking you.

Where you were on
December 16 at around 10 p.m.?

Were you with anyone?

Just walking around?

By yourself?
Did anyone see you?

You can check.
What else do you want to ask?

Mrs. Tsui, washing the ground?

You don't have a maid?
- My husband didn't want to hire servants.

He said it's inhuman. We
should do our own housework.

You listened
to your husband a lot.

Zoe, go back to your room.

Do you have another
daughter named Eva?

But she passed away years ago.

It has nothing to do
with my husband's death.

Why are you asking me this?

Zoe seemed unaware she
had an elder sister.

You talked to her?
- Yes. You're family.

I never thought
you'd keep this from her.

Such a horrible death, but you
act as it she never exist.

Do I have to
bring her up every day?

My husband and I were
devastated by her death.

I don't get why you bring this up.

It has nothing to do with my husband's death.
- Relax. Relax, OK?

How can you
be so sure it's unrelated?

When Eva died,
Zoe was barely a year old.

There's no need for her to know
about such a terrible death.

Zoe was barely
a year old when Eva died.

You and your husband
must have had a loving relationship,

if you had
another child after 18 years.

Both Eva and Zoe,
were adopted by my husband and I.

I couldn't have kids.

And he loved children so much.

What? So both girls were adopted.

We found out that when
Eva was murdered,

you spent a lot of money on a top UK
barrister to prosecute the suspect.

As a result, the suspect was denied
appeal and sentenced to life.

You know all about it.
Why are you asking me?

Mrs. Tsui, if you're not
willing to cooperate,

how can we find your
husband's murderer?

Back then, your husband
hated the killer, right? Yes or no?

Why do you keep
bringing up the past?

It has nothing to
do with his murder.

You're not the murderer.
How can you tell?

There might be leads.

If he killed your daughter, you
wouldn't let him go either.

It's only natural.
- But the boy kept saying he was innocent.

He killed Eva in the house.
The police caught him red-handed.

Did Eva have a boyfriend?
- No.

She never went out.
Normal just like everybody else.

I really can't
remember all the details.

OK. Don't you think
Zoe looks very much like Eva?

They're sisters.
Of course they look alike.

Didn't you say
they were adopted?

We've treated them
both as our own children.

That's strange. You took them as
your own children, but there's

no memorial tablet for Eva.
Who are you trying to fool?

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

Mrs.Tsui! Mrs.Tsui!

I have a weak heart. I need to rest.

I'm sorry, Mrs.Tsui.
We have no more question.

Go away. Go away
- Please, take a rest.

I got this from Yang's high school.

Top grades in
maths, chemistry and physics.

His teacher's comments said,

he was aloof but
smart and talented in music.

Here. Look at the activities column.

In 1988, he was the
Champion in the Asian...

Youth Chinese Chess Tournament.

Wow!
- Damn it!

I didn't even
make the final round that year.

So he's a clever
and meticulous person.

Think about it.
He's been in jail 20 years.

Would he have no plan at all?

Something must have gone wrong.

Too careless, too obvious.

But he doesn't seem so stupid.

Eva: All men close to you must die.

Inspector Lam. This is Zoe Tsui.

I checked with the
music store where Yang works.

Turns out he hasn't
shown up since last week.

We're on the right track.
We'd better bring him in.

Must we wait till
something goes wrong?

But there's no evidence
linking Yang to Tsui's murder.

Sir. What if we can't lay charges,

after a high-profile arrest?

Step up protection
of the mother and daughter.

George, you've been given five days,

to dig up evidence and a motive.

After that,
I don't care if you find,

anything or not.
I'll need to bring Yang in.

Yang's little brother.

According to Correctional Services,
Yang is staying at your house.

Where is he now?
- That's not true!

He's only visited once
since his release.

He asked me to lend him money.

Do you remember
this classmate? Yang.

This gay. Have a close look first.

Secondary school was so long ago.
How can I remember? Leave me alone!

How can that be? You're so young.
It was just a few years ago.

Take a look first. It's Yang.

You're his younger brother.

Anything about him is
none of my business.

I gave him $50,000.
To get rid of him.

Yang? I remember him. The mute.

When he just arrived, he
kept saying he was innocent,

and wanted to appeal.

He tried to commit suicide by
stabbing himself with a pencil.

But he filed,

and the complaints stopped.

He didn't hang out with anyone.

I didn't hear him to make a noise.

He jogged and
worked out every day in his cell.

He took computer lessons
and learned about the Internet.

He hardened himself up like steel.

There's no entertainment in jail.

Inmates like to toy
with convicted rapists.

He was bullied every day.

He coped with
the bullying at the start.

He must have suppressed a lot.

But finally he went crazy.

Once, he fought
against four in the bathroom.

He stabbed them.

One became blind.

Two were seriously injured.
And one was nearly killed.

Since that fight, no
one dared go near him.

Not even Yip Kai-foon.

Stabbing the neck
with a pencil to commit suicide?

Ah, what's that man?

That'd take some determination.

Who? Yang? Of course I remember him.

I don't believe he killed Eva Tsui.

You know Eva Tsui?
- Did Yang mention her?

But his old statement said, they
didn't know each other.

I've got no idea
what his statement says.

But my statement 20
years ago said... they were dating.

They stayed in Lantau
overnight without telling family.

How could they not be dating?
I took pictures for them too.

Uncle Lung. I'm looking into a rape
and murder from 21 years ago.

According to the file, you were one
of the officers in charge.

That's tough? I've been
retired more than seven years.

A murder that
happened in a mansion on the Peak.

The girl's father was a celebrity.

Since, I emigrated,
my memory has deteriorated.

The boy kept saying he was innocent.

Didn't you think
something was fishy?

We caught the boy at the crime scene.

There was no doubt at all.

CCTV footage showed him
sneaking into the house.

The girls father was
an eyewitness too.

I've never seen anyone killed so
brutally.

But... some of his classmates
can prove they were lovers.

Can't lovers rape and kill?

What this prove? There was plenty of
evidence in that case.

It was 1988. I really can't
remember clearly.

It was back when Spencer
was in charge. He hated rapists the most.

You're sure it was 1988?

Uncle Lung, no smoking indoors.

You're still so stubborn
and never give up.

I remember when you
had just left the Academy as a PC.

Maybe you saw him too. We showed no
mercy if a suspect wouldn�t confess.

He was a tough hut to crack.

Really? It's him?

And you were stupid enough,

to ask everyone what happened.

Asking why the,
suspect was so heavily beaten up.

Luckily I stopped you
and asked you keep out of it.

You didn't ask - you beat me up.

You wouldn't quit without
a beating, would you?

We had an eyewitness and evidence.

Spenser's judgment
wouldn't be wrong.

Why would he accuse
the boy for no reason?

She's very pretty girl, Yang.

Why did you kill her?

Yes you did.

You did this hideous crime!

Fucking look at the picture, Yang!

Look at the photo!

Look at it! Did you kill her?

It wasn't me!
- Son of the bitch!

Go to hell!

Damn you!

So it's him.

What is it?

Hello?

Hello?

Ying? Ying. Ying!

OK. OK.
- Look this.

I couldn't catch him.

I've been waiting for you for days.

The gods are watching from above.

Don't you believe that? I do.

Catch him once you get enough
evidence.

Got the message.
Inspector Lam has come.

Once we get evidence
from him, we should arrest him.

Yes, sir!

I checked.

You and Eva picnicked
quite often in Lantau.

Have you been to
Lantau ever since you release?

What did you guys do in
Lantau back then?

Did you make out?

She was already your girlfriend.
Why were you so impatient?

You might have failed to rape her,
but there was no need to kill, right?

You didn't kill Eva.

You hatted her father.

So as soon as you were
released, you killed him, right?

I know you were convicted for
something you didn't do 20 years ago.

Listen.

You have to remember Zoe is not Eva.

Did jail time turn you into a pervert?

Your lover Eva is dead.

Zoe won't love someone
who's been in jail 20 years.

The world's different now, wake up!

I won't let you hurt Zoe!

Don't move! Drop your weapon!

Turn around!

Everyone ready!

Go save Inspector Lam!
- Yes, sir!

What's wrong with you?

A dozen officers
couldn't catch a pervert?

We've got the evidence and the motive.

No matter what,
we have to bring him in!

Now!
- Yes, sir!

Let' go! Hurry up!

He had every chance to kill you,

or get the button back.

Why would he be so careless?

Actually, when he
tried to kill me that night,

I didn't know I
grabbed something from him.

Did he leave the
evidence in your hand on purpose?

To save us some trouble?
- You're right.

By giving us this, it's like he
turned himself in.

You mean...

the button found in Han Tsui's moth,

was left there on
purpose by Yang too?

You've finally broken through.

Does it make sense?
- Yes.

Little B has discovered
Yang's hideout.

He's been staying near the Tsui
mansion the whole time!

So crazy?

Zoe's dress?

Where are you going?

I want to go out for a walk.

Don't go anywhere. Stay here.

When the case is
over we'll move away.

He's even recorded Zoe's voice.

He must have sneaked into the house,

and planted a bug there.

Inspector Lam. The evidence is here.
The suspect's missing button

Did Tsui make Yang so angry,

that Yang killed him?

He mistook Zoe as Eva.

Hello?
- Latest update!

Yang was at Zoe's house last night!
- OK. I'll be right there.

Actually, I've discovered
something.

But I'm not sure if it's relevant.
- Say it.

When we came in just now, I saw
Mrs.Tsui cleaning the ground.

The last time we came,
she was also cleaning it.

Altogether...

I've seen her
cleaning the ground four times.

I'm afraid I've caught your paranoia.

Remember the coroner said,

there was no seawater in the
victim's stomach?

Call forensics, right away.
- Yes, sir.

Hey! Do you know you're really
smart?

I know.

It's blood.

Mrs.Tsui, hindering police work,

and obstructing justice
are serious criminal offenses.

I don't know anything.

I stayed home with my daughter all
night. I knew nothing about it.

If you knew nothing, why would you
know to clean the floor?

Fei, call an ambulance.

What is Mrs.Tsui trying to hide?

If the Tsui house is the crime scene,

how could they not notice
someone was killed in the house?

The suspect intended to leave plenty
of evidence.

Probably was trying to hide...

the real evidences
when he killed Han Tsui.

He's trying to hide, the fact that,
this is the real crime scene.

Even if the mother and
daughter were the murderers,

they wouldn't have
had the time or energy,

to move the body to the beach.

If they were at home that night,
how could they not be aware?

Could it be that he's not
the murderer?

From Yang's house,

you can clearly see the
balcony Tsui fell off.

If Yang's is the murderer,

every lead and all
the evidence we found,

could have been made up by Yang.

He's pointing at himself.

If he deliberately did that, there
can only be one reason.

He's trying to
hide the real murderer.

Who is he trying to protect?

Who is he trying to protect?

Eva. In other words, Zoe.
- Inspector Lam.

You asked me to check out Han Tsui's
personal warehouse,

and his safe deposit box.

In the warehouse I found lots of
photos taken by him.

I discovered something. Not sure if
it's relevant.

Look at these.

Eva? I know it.
- What is it?

Bring Mrs.Tsui and Zoe back for
interrogation at once,

even Mrs.Tsui fakes fainting again.

Did your husband have a special
interest in young girls?

You're crazy.

Where's your
police protection tonight?

I waited the whole day,

and sneaked out to see you.

I have something to tell you.

Your husband was sick
psychologically.

And abuses people when he's drunk.

That's not true.
- Your husband abused Eva,

and now he's abusing Zoe too.

But you dared not say a word for
fear of ruining his reputation.

Or did you let him do that to your
adopted daughters?

Crazy.
- You afraid of your husband,

because he's a tyrant.
- No, I'm not.

It's not true. I'm not.

Were you happy when Eva died?

How is that possible?

I was miserable!

It was my fault.

If you keep trying to hide the
truth, I'll charge you with murder.

Don't you know
you're the prime suspect?

My husband brought it on himself.

He drinks daily.

And he abuses us
when he's dead drunk.

And looks his daughter in her room.

And loves to control people.

Did you talk to him about it?
- How could I?

I'd been married to
my husband for decades.

He was perfect.

I just couldn't
destroy his reputation.

I thought if I could pretend that I
didn't see or hear anything,

he'd repent and go back to normal.

I never thought Eva would be killed.

Because I knew...

she was trying to run away from home.

She had a boyfriend.

Her father found out and was furious.

He locked up Eva at home,

forbidding her to
go to school or anymore.

Then Eva told me,

she was carrying
her boyfriend's baby.

She asked me for help.

I dared not say yes,

as I'd never done anything
against my husband's wishes.

Later... she secretly
gave birth to Zoe.

Why would your husband allow that?

He thought it was his child.

Over the years,
he kept a close watch on her.

Later... as Zoe grew up,

she looked so much like Eva.

I noticed my husband
sometimes mistook her as Eva.

I didn't want to
make the same mistakes again.

That night my husband died,

he was totally drunk.

Don't go to school anymore! Understand?
Don't go to school anymore!

Trying to leave me again!

Zoe...
- They are all bad people!

You'll be screwed to death!
- Open the door!

Don't you know that?
- Han Tsui!

I've been telling you all the time.
- Han Tsui! Open the door!

Why don't you listen to me?
- Han Tsui!

Sooner or later...
you'll be just like your mother.

Eva, you betrayed me.
It's you who betrayed me.

Daddy, what are you talking about?
- You think I'm scared of you?

You think I feel guilty?

Daddy I'm Zoe...
- Shut up!

I killed you.
But you cheated me first!

You went with that fucking man!
And then you ask me to forgive you?

Daddy I'm Zoe... I don't know what
you're talking about.

Eva! And you tried
to come back here.

I gotta look at you every day!

I'm the one who
raised your daughter.

I've been a good man my whole life.

I am looking at you every day.

You think I feel guilty?

Why do you make me suffer? Why?

When I got in,

my husband had already
fallen off the balcony.

We dared not look
down for a long time.

I only wanted to wash
the blood off the ground.

Please don't investigate anymore.

You want to hide this incident,

because it was Zoe who pushed your
husband off the balcony? - No.

It had to be an accident.
He fell off accidentally.

The person who
killed my foster father...

was me.

I made him fall off the
balcony by accident that night.

You betrayed me!

So who is Zoe's birth father?

Inspector Lam.

We couldn't find
Zoe all night, nor the boy.

Aren't you guys
watching her 24/7?

She said she had to meet a friend.

Something happened.
Call the station.

Station, at World Wide Exchange
Center in Admiralty.

If you find the suspect,
immediately ask for support, over.

Hello? Yes.

OK. Got it. Thanks.

Inspector Lam, two
colleagues found Yang,

on the roof of
World Wide Exchange Center.

Fei, split up.
- Yes, sir.

Put down your gun!
- Freeze!

Freeze!
- Put down your gun!

Put your hands up!

You are suspected of murder,

plus multiple
assaults and attacking police.

You've been surrounded!

Yang. Tell me.

You didn't plan to kill Zoe,

because she's the
daughter of you and Eva.

Both Eva and you...

were victims, 20 years later,

you wanted to
take revenge on Han Tsui.

But Zoe was one step ahead of you.

You've been
trying to mislead the police,

into thinking
you wanted to hurt her,

but in fact you wanted
carry her guilt as the murderer.

Is that the truth?

Tell me.
Answer me!

Have you ever...

held your
daughter on your shoulders?

My God...

Is that the truth?

Answer me!

Answer me!

Inform Inspector Lam.

Ying?

Thank you.

Inspector Lam,

since my failed attempt
at suicide in prison,

I'd never talked to anymore.

Eva and I had been
together since high school.

When she was 19,
she was pregnant with my child.

Hes father was infuriated
and locked her up at home,

until she gave birth secretly.

I could only climb up at night,

and watch through the window.

Hello. It's me.

Listen carefully.
- Yes.

He's drunk.

Come over night now to pick me up.

I'll take our baby.
We can run away together.

I'll leave right now
and pick you up. Wait for me.

What are you doing?
Who are you talking with?

You want to go out?

I love you so much but you betray me
again? You want to call him?

Why don't you call him?
Come over here!

You really wanna call him? Call now!

I know he's out there!
I know he's out there!

Nobody can betray me!

Get up! You wanna
run away? Get up!

You wanna run away?

You asked him to pick up, right?

Look outside! Look! Look!

Look outside!

Am I not good enough for you?

You want to
run away with him right?

You wanna call, right? Say it!
What do you want to say?

I've saw a murder...

Inspector Lam, is
the truth really that important?

It doesn�t matter
who really killed Han Tsui.

Even if you know the truth,
it might not do anyone any good.

I really want to know,

how it feels to see your
own daughter,

grow up in front of your eyes.

I truly envy you, Inspector Lam.

She said she has
come to turn herself in.

I made my father die by making him
fall off the balcony accidentally.

I'm sorry you had
to protect me for so long.

I've been waiting for you.

I knew you'd
come to confess in person,

because I can see in your
eyes that you have a conscience.

I just don't want that
man to take up my guilt.

Why are you helping me?

Do you know my birth mother?

Do you know my father, isn't it?

Tell me who is he?

Who's the man...
that was protecting me?

The man helping me, who is he?

His name is Yang.

Don't forget him.

Sunbathing? I've got three Jay
Chou concert ticket for you.

It was so hot.
I queued for several hours.

Don't you want to come along?
- Of course.

In fact, there's one
more thing that bothers me.

This again? Give me a break.

If Yang wanted
to take the rap for Zoe,

why didn't he turn himself in at the start?

If it wasn't for a stubborn cop, like you,

he and Zoe would have
walked off free.

Why on earth would anyone
suddenly dig up a 20-year-old case?

If it was anyone else,
they would have stopped,

when the button was found.

If it wasn't for you, the plan
would have been perfect.

OK. I'm leaving.

Hey! How about dinner
together before the concert?

We'll eat at home.
Join us if you want.

Just come up to my place.
- Great!
