I've got two dead people here.

If Ben was killed,
don't you want to know about it?

Let's go. We need your help.

Wellspring Mansions, room 331.
What is it?

Hard drive.
Connected to the CCTV cameras.

We need you to help find this man.

There's something weird
I need to tell you.

What does this mean?
Traitor.

I think he was involved
in Megan's murder.

Jonah.

Jonah, did you listen to my message?

I was waiting for you.

But you never came.

He got me.

He got me and now he'll get you.

Everything I said...

I meant everything I said, Jonah.

Where the hell were you?

Hello.
'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 OK?'

It has to be today?
'Yes, I'm afraid so.'

OK.

I'll be ready.

It must be odd, all this?

That's one way of putting it.

So, what is this opportunity?

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 favour.

Nice to meet you, Mr Mulray.
Hello.

You seem familiar.

Have we met before?
I don't believe we have.

Would you care to follow me?
Mr Xo's waiting in my office.

Good morning.
Mr Bach, morning.

Mr Mulray,

I'm Xiaodong Xo.

Nice to meet you.
Please.

We have to be gone in 15 minutes.
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 we 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. 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 you were to stand up and talk
about your wife's disappearance,

it would embarrass Mr Xo's opponent.

That would help you
win the election.

It is a sinister political ploy,
Mr Mulray.

It is 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.

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

I'm trying to bloody help you.

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 didn't want
to bring it up in there.

It didn't seem appropriate.

It's strange, because...

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
whose 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.

It was on the table.

Who's Robin Liu?

Just tell me.

He's a lawyer I'm interviewing
for a project at college.

Really?

"Analyse how criminal enterprises
manipulated

"the use of discretionary trusts

"for money-laundering
and terrorist finances."

Hello.

Hi, it's Jonah.

I was just wondering if your friend

had got back to you yet
with any more information.

'I've not heard from him.
Don't worry.

'I'll call you as soon as I do.

'We need to talk about Kai Huang.
Where are you?

'I know you're trying to avoid me.'
I'm doing a double shift.

If I hear anything, I'll call you.

So I will come to you.
Where do you work?

Hello? David?

Shit!

'Hello.'
Hey, it's Michael Cohen.

Have you found something?

What is it?

'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?'
I was just thinking

maybe we can help each other?

I can tell you everything I know

and you could let me
into the apartment.

Why the hell
would I let you do that?

Cos we both want answers, don't we?

'If I could see Ben's phone,
look through his stuff...

'I just want to find out the truth.
Don't you?'

You're fishing.

Don't call me again.

So, you have made
some powerful friends.

I just want answers.

Xiaodong Xo has many allies
in this department.

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

Mr Mulray, first you must know
that 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 are trying
to find out. We want to be open.

Like you were
with my wife's voicemail.

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.

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 have 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 co-operated.

He was a different person
after that.

He seemed more volatile,
more aggressive.

Excuse me?
Hello. How can I help you?

I'm here to see Robin Liu.
OK, can I take your name, please?

It's Lau Chen.
Lau Chen.

Your mother set up a joint account
with your name.

She gave us instructions

to give you access
in the circumstances such as these.

But 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.

It 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.

This could be dangerous for you,
Jonah.

Oi!

What? Mind your business.

Here are my details.
Get me my travel documents.

Tell me why you were following me?

No. You promised me.

I promised you nothing. You want my
help, you tell me what's going on.

Get me to England and I tell you
where to find the man who pays me.

It doesn't work like that.

The husband...

Ben.

Tell me what you know.
He killed him.

Like he kills me
if he finds out what I'm doing.

I can get you on a plane.

I can talk to the Home Office.

But I need more
than what you're giving me.

I need his name.
I don't know his name, OK?

Record him.
I want to hear him say it

and I want to hear him say
what he did to Ben.

On that? Are you serious?

He'll definitely...
You want a new life?

I can help you.
But first, you do this for me.

Sally Porter.

We need to talk about her.

'I go to Macau.
Meet you in a couple of hours.

'Fisherman's Wharf. Aqua Luna.'

Didn't think I'd hear from you.
I wasn't going to call.

But I've just heard something.

Maybe we should meet.
If you know something about Ben,

then I have to hear it.

'You'll let me
into your apartment?'

Yes.

If you tell me what you know.
OK.

Ben was in deep with the triads.

'He was selling them information.'
Who's told you that?

I can't say.
'Then why are we speaking?'

Because I don't believe it.

I know how it sounds, and that's how
I felt when I first heard it, too.

But if you let me into your place,
I can look through Ben's stuff.

We can find out
what's going on together?

'If you give me your source,
then I'll let you in.'

'Let's talk about it later.'

Do you have my address?
'No, I don't.

'I don't, no.'

I'll send it to you.

Great.

Who'd you steal that from?

I bought it.

You're kidding.

How much?

It's rude to ask
how much a gift cost.

Gift?

Stop it.
It's for you.

As long as you document
what we're doing.

This is...
This is way too generous.

You couldn't even pay for dinner
the other night.

Have you robbed a bank or something?

"Thank you" is fine.

Thank you.

Lau. I think
there is a guy waiting for you.

Is that the guy?

I'll be right back.
Do you want me to come with you?

No. Just be a minute.

How did you know where to find me?

Well, I knew
the name of your school,

so, you know, it wasn't difficult.

I'm trying to find your dad.

He doesn't go to the school.

OK. Do you have any idea
where he might be?

Work, probably. He's a security
guard at Wellington Mansions.

Have you spoken to him at all
since last night?

Did he seem... odd?

He's always odd.

Why do you want him, anyway?

So you two can talk about her?

She's gone.

Don't you think the man who shot her

deserves to be brought
to some kind of justice?

God, you didn't know, did you?

What do you mean, "shot her"?

What are you talking about?

You should talk to your dad.
You tell me.

I think she was murdered.

No. I listened to the message.

That wasn't all of it.
She was still alive.

After the crash, there was
a gunshot. The police edited it out.

I didn't tell you this...
Why would they do that?

This is what I'm trying to find out.

Look, I'm so sorry. I...

I thought your dad
would have told you.

Why? He never tells me anything.

I'm sure he was about to.

It's not easy being a parent.

He's a drunk and a gambling addict.
He hasn't been a parent.

Can you tell me something?

Did your mum and dad argue
the night before she died?

What, you think my dad...
I'm just asking.

You're a dick.

Are you ready?
Yeah.

This is one of many sites
that the government

originally set aside
for affordable housing.

But now it has become
overpriced luxury apartments

that 95% of Hong Kong cannot afford.

Lau, you're supposed
to be following me.

Yeah, right.
Shit. I didn't press record.

You don't have to do this.

I'm fine.

Are you sure? Because, honestly,
it's really not a big deal.

I'm here.
I bought you the camera, didn't I?

Let's try it again.
Right. OK.

Ready?

This is one of many sites

that the government originally
put aside for affordable housing.

What is wrong with you?

What do you mean?

A new camera for me,
drinks for everyone here.

I robbed a bank.

I got it from my mum, OK?

Another surprise. A load of money
I had no idea existed.

How much?

Too much.

Well, you must know something.

Did you tell your dad?

Barely seen him since Monday.

We don't talk about anything,
so why try to talk to him now?

I'm fine.

Honestly.

You know
you don't have to pretend with me.

Mum's death.

It wasn't an accident.

What, you mean she was...

How do you know?

Jonah told me.
What?

Jonah told me.

You gotta be honest with your dad,
man, you gotta tell him.

What I need is another drink.

What?

Yeah, I'm with her now.

No.

No!

I said I would, so I will.

If you don't believe me,
find someone else.

Hello.
'Hello.

'I'm looking for David Chen.

'Is he there?'
No, he's not.

He told me
he was gonna be at work.

Do you know when he'll be back?

'He's not working today.'

OK, thanks.

Thanks.

For agreeing to see me.

You sounded desperate on the phone.

I know I offended you.

Look, there's no excuse
for how I was earlier.

That stuff about your dad...

ignore me.

I did.

You remind me of her.

She didn't take any shit either.

Look, about your dad,
I'm worried that I've pushed him...

I don't know if anyone
has ever told you this,

but... you worry,

like, way too much.

Yeah. Yeah, maybe I do.

Listen, Lau, could I ask a favour?

Do you think
I could borrow your phone?

My... battery has died.

I just need
to make a very quick call.

Thank you.

I'll just be two minutes.

Hey.
Yeah.

Done?
Thank you.

Listen, I guess I'll...
I'll see you around.

Thanks again.
Did you find my dad?

No.

No, no, I didn't.

I'll tell him you were looking.

Thanks.

The Illusion Casino.

What can I get you, sir?

I...

I wondered...

if you'd seen this man?

David Chen.

You mean Mr Huang?

You've seen this man?

Kai Huang?
You're joking, right?

Is he here?
I dunno.

But he comes a lot.

Does he have a favourite game?
Craps? Roulette?

OK.

In that case,
I will have a whisky, please.

And...

...this is for you.

Poker.

You lied to me.

Get out of here.
I saw the hard drive, by the way.

What are you gonna do?

You're gonna have me thrown out.
Why did you do it?

Because you were jealous?

You couldn't bear
to see her with anyone else?

I know what you did!

I'm going.

Argh!

I need my jacket.
I left my jacket inside.

Come on, mate.
It's got all my things in it.

Aww.

You all right?

I can go up there by myself.

Who told you
Ben was working with the triads?

I told you, I can't say.

Then why are we here?

I need to know.

I never reveal my sources.

You're not going to give me a name?

No.

Not before my story's been printed.

Come on, you said you'd let me in,
we had a deal.

What are you doing?
What do you think I'm doing?

You were never going
to let me in there, were you?

I can print what I've got!

Doesn't exactly look well for you.

No, I hate being away from you, too.

No. I know, I really...

Yeah, I miss you.

Ten more days, OK?

And I really love you.
Just give the kids a kiss, OK?

See you. Bye.

Gotta go. Bye.

OK.

Excuse me. That taxi,
that was my friend.

We were supposed to go together.
I'll call you a taxi.

Thank you.

To the same destination, please.

OK, slow down, slow down.

Pull over. Pull over here.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Mr Mulray, Detective Tsui.

I wanted to let you know,

your wife's remains
have been located.

You've found her?

Where... where is she?

Um, she was...

Mr Mulray, she was cremated.

It is an unforgivable oversight.

The company we outsource
the work to has only just admitted

what they have done.

On behalf of the department,
I can only apologise

and assure you
there will be a full investigation.

When can I take her home?
'That is why I called you.

'Out of respect.

'Her ashes will be released
to David Chen.

'He and her daughter
are her surviving family.'

Right, yeah, David, of course.

I'm sorry, Mr Mulray.

What the hell
are you doing here?

Tell me about Kai Huang.

You need to go.
Like I needed to leave the casino?

Who did it, David?

She was so frightened of you...
You have to go. Right.

What is that? Is that blood?

Shit!

Is he dead?

Jonah, I didn't do it.

No! Don't touch the gun.
Don't touch anything.

What are you doing?

Calling the police.
Put the phone down!

It was Kai who set me up!

Yeah, I need the police, please.

Jonah, I can explain,
but you have to leave now.

I'm at the marina.
There's been a murder.

Please, just listen to me!

I'm not sure.
I think it's called the Aqua Luna.
