[Love Me If You Dare]

[Episode 16]

He's an emotionally unstable psychopath.

But the fact that he's given me this info

implies that he's absolutely positive

we won't be able to find him with it.

Meanwhile, he's already begun round two.

And I've lost.

What an absolutely sophisticated
crime he's constructed.

What do we do now?

There's no more evidence to go off.

If I were a truly conceited person...

I would do what he expects me to do.

Step by step,
all the way toward failure.

But unfortunately for him,
I'm not in over my head.

He underestimated me.

What have you found?

There are four discrepancies
in his actions.

Although... he has yet to realize it.

He's too busy pitying me right now.

As such, he's close to revealing himself.

The first thing is
also the most important.

The ultimate purpose
of a psychopath's fantasy

isn't to take revenge
or express rage at his past.

It's to bring about
their true inner desires.

This is the one thing
that gives serial killers

the immense pleasure they experience
when they commit their crimes.

But...

Where has the Flower Cannibal
hidden his desires?

You're right.
Like in the robot killer case.

Sun Yong imagined himself as a murderer.

But what is this guy's desire?

The second thing.
What he hates most is women.

Except then there's an inconsistency.

Why did he symbolically
destroy the man's dignity

yet left the woman's intact?

Third.

Why put duct tape over the man's mouth

while he was torturing him?

Because he didn't want to listen to him.

There are reasons for all his actions

even if he himself is unaware of them.

Why only block out the man's voice?

There really are a lot of holes.

The fourth thing.

Why take a lock of
the old man's grey hair?

If he's supposed to represent
victory over life and death

taking his blood or organs
should be more exciting to him.

So why just take
a lock of soft, grey hair?

Because grey hair reminds people of

the natural progression
of life and time.

It evokes a very soft emotion.

Precisely.

One more thing.

After the murders,
why did he leave the bodies

and the doll in so many random places?

Let's say hatred was his motivator
for wanting to be rid of them.

Why not toss them all at once
instead of going to all this effort?

And it goes without saying

that these three victims
must have some kind of connection.

We just haven't discovered it.

The only thing we can do right now is...

Go back to square one.

Analyze the victims in detail.

What?

Nothing.

We've asked the victims' families
to come in as you requested.

But I don't get it.

My people checked them out

and we couldn't find
any connection whatsoever.

Professor Bo, what do you hope to find?

We're looking for different things.

He means the Flower Cannibal's fantasy.

We'd been living there together
for two years.

She was the most easygoing
girl I'd ever met.

All our neighbors knew my dad
as a wonderful man.

He was good-natured
and an extremely kind man.

He was a teacher his entire life.

An extremely frugal person.

He spent all his money on kids

who couldn't afford to go to school.

Did she have a boyfriend?

Did you notice anything strange
prior to her disappearance?

She had an ex.

But they broke up
peacefully half a year ago.

He attended a lot of charity events?

Yes.

I'll need a list of
everyone he donated to.

Ah, also... if she hadn't died

she would've been promoted next month

to work on Lamma Island.

Your brother was a very talented writer.

Why was he not a professional writer?

Our parents didn't approve of it.

They didn't consider
writing a serious career.

It couldn't provide a sustainable future.

So when Yu Zhe went to college

they made him study architecture.

But he never gave up writing.

Yu Zhe was a very persistent person.

Last year, he won first place
in the Galaxy Awards

even though the competition was strong.

He was the best. He really was the best.

Mr. Yang, thank you
for aiding our investigation.

We'll let you know
when we have an update.

Okay.

I recognize this expression.

You have a hunch, right?

We have enough evidence.

You know what he's fantasizing?

I know it all.

His fantasies... his desires.

I even know how to confirm
his identity, name, and appearance.

What does he want?

To show off.

To show off?

He's been continuously leaving evidence.

He wants to demonstrate
that these murders

aren't like
the haphazard killings of others.

Everything he's done
has been a show for me.

He has a strong desire...
to seek attention from others.

He naively believes that everyone...

especially me,
will be stumped by his accomplishments.

His murders just serve
as a self-endorsement.

He needs to show me...

his life.

His life?

More precisely, a life that lies

between reality and paranoia.

No matter how crazy and illogical

a serial killer's actions are...

they're all tied to some sort of logic.

What we need to put together

is a diagram of his crimes.

We need to figure out what story
he is telling from this diagram.

The female victim, Hua Xiao.

She was about to be
transferred to Lamma Island.

And then we have Yang Yu Zhe,
who lives there.

He was considering buying a house there.

So if they hadn't been killed,
there's a chance they would've met.

Some people are meant to meet.

To be together.

Like you and me.

A single, pretty, and lively girl

spontaneously meeting a talented,
but not very social, young writer.

What an excellent love story.

The killer killed her just because
there was a chance they'd meet?

There's no question about it.

He'd already planned for them
to meet, hadn't he?

That's messed up.

Now that we've determined
the symbolization of these two

we begin to see a picture
of an ideal family.

A kind and protective mentor figure.

An elderly father.

Young parents.

Cute child.

Zhou Lin Pu represents the perfect
father figure for Yang Yu Zhe.

He was a language arts teacher.

He could guide young children
toward becoming talented writers.

He was generous and empathetic.

He wouldn't have forced a child
into a profession they hated.

In his illusion, the killer
envisioned himself as Yang Yu Zhe.

He created the perfect father for him.

I still don't understand.

Why did he only create a father figure,
but not a mother?

Because in real life

his situation was the other way around.

The killer never had a father.

He could only fantasize about one.

In his actual life, he had a mother.

It's very self-evident.

He feels a lot of hatred for his mother.

He regresses back into a child

whenever he faces
representations of mother figures.

He never acts like an adult.

And of course, there's no need for him
to envision an elderly mother.

With Yang Yu Zhe,
he made himself an adult.

Yet with Hua Xiao,
he became a child.

Hua Xiao is not only
the perfect companion

but also the mother figure
he always wanted.

All the other discrepancies
can be explained

from this perspective.

Why did he only
destroy the man's dignity?

Why only beat the woman?

Why take the old man's hair
and the doll's hands?

And why toss their bodies so far apart?

Because ultimately, what he wants

is to unburden himself
through his delusion.

Overwhelmed by past hatred,
he abandons them.

Then he begins
a new round of fantasizing.

Finds new victims.

Creates a new family.

Soon... Soon, I'll bring our son back.

Our son.

Your son.

He's your son.

You should love him.

You should be good to him.

You should think of him.

Please...

Let me go.

I gave you a chance.
Why won't you repent?

What have I done wrong?

I'm a genius!

I can get whatever I want in this world.

Why don't you love me?

Why would you treat me like this?

Who are you? What do you want?

Let me go. Let me go!

Who in the world are you?
What are you up to?

Hurry and let me go!

He can murder three
completely random people

over something that's not even real?

Something fabricated in his mind?

From the perspective of
a mentally unstable criminal

he's already perfectly
fulfilled a fantasy.

Why would he quietly come to Hong Kong

after those manufactured explosions?

The 2015 Science Fiction
Galaxy Awards Ceremony

took place on the second day
he returned to Hong Kong.

I believe he went
out of his way to rush back

in order to attend this ceremony.

I'll go check the contestant list.

No need. I've got Zi Yu on it.

I've developed a special
search engine for you.

It can automatically search
and detect info from

every literary contest
in the region in the past decade

- including--
- We just need the results.

Seven people match your profile.

Seven is one too many.

We don't have the time
to go through all of them.

But the information you
gave me isn't enough.

If we want to tighten
the search parameters, I'll need more.

Play Yang Yu Zhe's footage again.

Torturing people to death
gives the suspect pleasure.

He enjoys the sound of
the victim's screams and begging.

When the other three were being killed,
their mouths weren't sealed.

Why was Yang Yu Zhe's mouth taped shut?

- Because the killer's psychotic?
- Because... Yang Yu Zhe knows him.

Or more accurately, Yang Yu Zhe
knows one of his fake personas.

Which one of our
seven suspects could Yang Yu Zhe

have possibly met at some point?

Bingo.

One person is a perfect match.

31-year-old Chinese American. Single.

Mei Jun Yuan.

In the 2015 Galaxy Awards,
Yang Yu Zhe won gold.

He was in second place.

This is his profile information
from the competition.

Bad news.
I tried to find him based on that.

That passport number doesn't exist.
It's fake.

But at least now
we know what he looks like.

I can only run facial recognition
software in other databases.

But it'll take some time,
and its accuracy can't be guaranteed.

Captain Liang, there are two new cases.

The victims match the descriptions
you guys gave us.

- Transfer the info over immediately.
- Yes, sir.

Andy, navigate to
the jewelry store on Second Street.

Two missing people.

A retired literature professor

and a young woman.

Why have you chosen to go to the place
where the young woman went missing?

Because she's a sales
associate at a jewelry store.

- So? She's a sales associate.
- The point is the jewelry store.

Jewelry stores have security cameras.

You're not an idiot after all.

Xiao He doesn't interact
with that many customers

and nothing suspicious
has ever happened here.

What are you looking for?

A face.

A face that has taken
a lot of effort to uncover.

Right here.

Pause.

It's him.

The time stamp is the day before
yesterday at 10:53 a.m.

He got close to Xiao He
by pretending to be a customer.

Left her his number.

Xiao He definitely contacted him.

She was subsequently
kidnapped after work.

Look here.

He didn't leave
immediately after exiting.

[School Zone, Slow Down]

He was standing right over here.

What was he standing here
looking at for so long?

Or rather... what was he waiting for?

He was looking at his next victim.

His next victim?

Hello, Jin Yan?

Which elementary schools are
near the Second Street jewelry store?

Got it. Hongji Elementary.

Can you check if anyone from the school

has recently participated in
any literary competitions?

Here we go.

Xu Zi Xi, nine years old.

A third grader at Hongji Elementary.

A participant in the 12th Annual
Astronomy Essay Competition.

It says here that
she's the grand prize winner.

When and where is
the awards ceremony taking place?

The second floor of
the Hong Kong Space Museum.

The time is this afternoon at...

Right now!

Honored guests, teachers, and students.

Good afternoon, everyone.

After intense deliberation...

we are gathered here today to commemorate
the winners of the Space Museum's

12th Annual Youth
Astronomy Essay Competition.

We received over 3,000 essays
from all over Hong Kong

for our annual essay contest this year.

The judges have chosen
five third place winners...

five second place winners,
and two first place winners.

Xu Zi Xi is in the middle of the front
row on the left. The second seat.

Next, let us welcome
Mr. Jin Su, Deputy Director

of the Space Museum, for a speech.
Mr. Jin Su, everyone.

Dear students and parents, welcome!

I am the deputy director of the museum.
I sincerely welcome you to...

In the past six months,
we received over 3,000 essays.

What are you doing?

Are you crazy? Let me go!
What are you doing?

Next, let's have the directors
hand the trophies out.

Where are you going?

No one panic!

The doors aren't opening!

Hurry, that way!

Over there!
Everyone, head over there!

Out of the way.

What are you doing?

What are you doing!
Be careful with the child!

- Are you okay?
- I'm fine.

Professor Bo, are you guys all right?

We're fine. The boy?

He's safe.
We've put him under 24-hour surveillance.

The suspect won't have
a chance to get him.

His prints are on this.

Take it and see what you can find.

We've positively identified the suspect
from the prints lifted off the trophy.

Mei Jun Yuan. Real name Xie Han.

His English name is Jabber.

There's no info on his father.

His mother was a paleontologist.

She was often out on expeditions
in South America and Africa

and was never there for her son.

Xie Han switched nannies
five times in his childhood.

It's likely that he was
sexually assaulted by one of them.

His mother passed away when he was 19.

She had a lot of money under her
name that didn't match her income.

I investigated everything
Xie Han inherited.

He's been slowly transferring assets
out of the US since 2003.

He's been really stealthy about it.

So far, I've been unable to determine
his financial situation.

But I can tell that he
has a huge trust fund to use

to support his criminal actions.

Xie Han last publicly revealed
himself in the States in 2006.

Since then,
he's disappeared without a trace.

Tommy's first crime
was committed in 2006.

So it looks like Xie Han
has been in action since then.

Today at the Space Museum,
during the Astronomy Essay Competition

there was an attempted kidnapping.

Police are now interviewing Bo Jin Yan,
who successfully thwarted the attempt.

Xie Han has already killed
three people in Hong Kong.

He also currently has three hostages.

Retired literature professor Fan Hai Zhi
from Victoria Harbor University.

Hengai Jewelry's sales associate,
He Ai Wen.

As well as the unidentified
fifth victim from the previous case.

We've released Xie Han's photo
to all hotels, airports

and subway stations in Hong Kong.

So far we haven't
received any useful info.

Has Xie Han transferred
any of his assets to Hong Kong?

No.

I'm positive he has
a private home here somewhere.

I imagine that
it's secluded and spacious.

Have you checked
under Lin Yi Yang's name?

He has. He's checked everything
under Lin Yi Yang and Yin Zi Qi.

This is where
the victims' bodies were left.

This is where the most recent
victims disappeared.

We can deduce the general area
of the crimes using the map.

This area is way too big.

If there isn't any indicative evidence...

it'll be like finding
a needle in a haystack.

Jian Yao.

Jian Yao. Don't look at it.

It'll just make you feel worse.

It might not necessarily be him.

It is him.

Xun Ran.

Xun Ran!

Jian Yao, I know
what you're feeling right now.

But I've really tried everything.

I can't make the image clearer.

- And there isn't any other way to--
- Zi Yu, what are you guys talking about?

Jian Yao thinks
the fifth victim is her friend.

His name is Li Xun Ran.

- Li Xun Ran...
- Tell me your thoughts.

As you said before...

the suspect uses
domination and exhibitionism

to gain excitement and pleasure.

As long as you don't give up...

If there's still fight left in you,
he won't be satisfied.

Correct.

I know Xun Ran.

He has a lot of willpower.

Physical torture is
not enough to crush him.

His belief that good triumphs over evil
is where he gets his strength.

You should give up.

Your girlfriend doesn't care about you.

She's probably already forgotten you.

Jenny and I are the same.

We're both very smart.

We both know who
possesses true value in this world

and is worth grabbing.

But regardless, at the end,
I will get rid of her.

Because everything I want will be mine.

Only mine.

Where's the kid?

In your so-called perfect family,
there should be a kid.

But you weren't able to get him.

I will get him!

You came back empty-handed...

meaning you lost.

You aren't as smart
as you think you are.

You perpetually brag about
how much smarter you are than Jin Yan...

but you still lost.

Without your self-obsessive
delusions of intelligence...

anyone can see that you're nothing
but a stupid, disgusting, psychopath.

So Xie Han will find ways
to torment him emotionally.

He'll try to destroy
everything he believes.

If Xie Han wanted to show Xun Ran
that he's better than the police

and smarter than you are,
he likely would've told Xun Ran

what he was planning to do
before filming this.

His fingers.

His fingers?

His fingers are moving.

Isn't he toying with his hair?

I thought so at first.

But he isn't.

Xun Ran's father taught him
Morse code when he was young.

Morse code...

Li Xun Ran is not your average victim.

He's a cop.

He can definitely notice details
the average person would miss.

If he's trying to send a message,
it must be important.

What are we waiting for?

- Replay the video.
- Okay.

- Find a code specialist.
- No need.

He knows it.

3... 3... 7... 6... 7....

33767?

Does that mean anything to you?

Unless there's a secondary code.

But there are only five numbers.

I'm guessing...

Most streetlights have a serial number.

The streetlight with serial number 33767
has been located.

It is conveniently located
where the suspect is living

two kilometers from
where the bodies were left.

It's surrounded by
a single-lane mountain path.

A remote location.

There are a few estates on the mountain.

One of them has been in
Lin Yi Yang's family for 20 years.

This mansion is where the hostage
rescue will take place, understood?

Yes, sir!

[Calling Yin Zi Qi]

Jin Yan.

This mansion is about
the size of two buildings.

The floor plan isn't complete,
and there's no sectional view.

Where's the entrance to this basement?

The basement isn't very deep.

Based on how the light
filtered into the room

and what time it was in the video...

Kevin. Access to the basement's entrance

should be to the right
of the main foyer.

Next to the third room.

Copy.

Are you on your way?

I've already introduced myself.

I am a friend of your fiancé.

I am currently helping you save his life.

Captain Liang.

Located basement entrance.
Preparing to enter.
