You wanted to compensate

the girl's family

Nothing I do could

compensate for that

"To feed without teaching

is the father's fault"

I wanted to protect him

but ultimately hurt us both

It's a heavy burden

I failed to teach him

properly that day

He was like you,

year of the dragon

Uncle Dat, do you feel that...

I'm a lot like your son?

Don't be so corny

I just don't want you

to turn out like him

I don't want your mother

to wind up like me

The same meal can be feast

or it can be foul

Which one you eat is up to you

Once Uncle Dat scanned my system

it was like I was a computer

with antivirus installed

Problems started coming out

I think I needed

to reboot my life

But sometimes, after a few reboots

the system might still hang

Hey, something just came up

What happened?

Uncle Dat was in B zone

and fell down the stairs,

hitting his head

They called for a car

to get it taken care of

It's pretty serious

You want to jump in, old man?

Better watch your step!

Where are Jack's duties

scheduled for today?

Jack? Today he

should be in B zone

But he should be done

and out in the yard now

Stop! What are you doing? Stop!

Escape! All prisoners, kneel!

Stop! On your knees, everybody!

What are you doing? Stop!

Escape! All prisoners, kneel!

On your knees! Everyone

on your knees!

Nail him

Stop! On your knees

Have him carried out of here!

Yes, sir!

I knew Jack had no

shortage of enemies

but I wouldn't have guessed

he got stabbed by his own guy

I really want to thank that hero

If not for him, I could

easily be serving life

You think prison is bad?

The worst is being

kept in solitary

with no one to talk to

And after only

three days of this

you will want to die

But I didn't kill myself

And even had 45 days

added to my sentence

In these 45 days, I

figured out a lot

I figured out the secret of why the

assistant warden would hit people

when he didn't have

on his sunglasses

Everything has a reason

Now that I mention it

Why was I really here

in the first place?

Solitary, coming out

Solitary, coming out

3609981, Nelson Yu,

bunk number one

When you get out of solitary

you usually get

switched to a new hall

There's no Ng Jai here

no Uncle Dat, no Jack

I felt it was really serene

May really didn't

come back to visit

and never answered my letters

I heard that Uncle Dat and Jack

were both still unconscious

in the hospital

Maybe Heaven wanted

to give Uncle Dat

a chance to rest

Inmates about to be released

usually are assigned

work outside the jail

because we have no

incentive to escape

and also to show how

we're getting closer

to the outside world Boss

Boss!

I took all the

cigarettes and gave them

to the bottom-rung

inmates and minorities

After all, being inside

prison or outside

You're getting out.

Take the name tag off

With no narrow line

between life and death

no people singing "Light

of Friendship" to you

no one telling you to eat your

food without turning around...

The reality of being released

is that kind of tranquility

Nelson, when we get back home

you go shower with pomelo leaves

and change into new clothes

I have one more

meeting, I'll come home

and we'll go to Fook Lam

Moon for dinner, okay?

Mom, do you think

what I did was wrong?

Don't think about the past

We should look

towards the future

Mr. Choi, could you

please pull over for me?

I want to discuss

something with my mom

Yes, sir!

Mom

I did some gambling in there

and lost over a hundred thousand

That's all right

I'll write you a cheque

and you forget about all that

It's not as simple as

losing money, either

I lost so much that down there

I was forced to insert

a bearing this big

How could things get like that?

I'll call Dr. Lau and

see how to handle it

Mom, that isn't even

the most urgent thing

Most urgent is the

one who forced me

is still in there, right now

When he gets out he'll

definitely send someone after me

What kind of people did

you get mixed up with?

How about this

Hire bodyguard to protect you?

It's no use, this

guy is very tricky

I have two friends in there

One was made to commit suicide

the other was put into a coma

Then how about going

overseas to hide a while?

I've thought this over

The best bet is to have

someone take him down

What? Isn't there another way?

You can negotiate.

They just want money

This guy has much

more money than we do

On top of that, he's crazy

There really is no other way

But if they find out you did it

that will still be a problem

I've asked about this

They said that if I

pay a full stipend

even if every person is caught

no one will rat me out

Then where do we

find these people?

How much money will it take?

You're really considering this?

Your son is asking you

to have someone killed

Are you seriously

thinking about this?

All this time, did

you ever think

about how to properly

teach your son?

I went to prison. I became

this type of person

Who bears the most

responsibility for that?

Nelson, has exhaustion

made you unwell?

Don't frighten your mother

All along, whatever I

wanted, you gave me

Right or wrong, you

spoiled me like that

How did you think

I would turn out?

I did this because

I care about you

- You know that - I know

But you never taught me properly

Not even once

I'm only a single woman

I had to deal with your

grandfather's business

How would I have had the time?

I work so hard

because I want you to

have a better life

I wanted you to be happy.

Isn't that right?

You think having so much

money is that useful?

You thought that if

I had more money

that I would be happier?

Your father passed away early

Your childhood was

without a father

I always feel

that to you there was

always something missing

I wanted to make up for that

I want you to be happy,

don't you know that?

If you wanted to

make up for that

why didn't you spend

just a little more time

to teach me right?

The way you spoiled me...

Did you know I've done a lot

of bad things out there?

You are very

responsible for that

I hurt a lot of people out there

and you are very responsible

That old woman I ran

into and killed?

You are very

responsible for that!

What are you saying?

Do you know what born with

no mother as guide means?

That's me

I was born with no

mother to teach me!

Shut it!

Forgive me...

I feel so guilty

I don't know why I did that

I feel so much guilt...

Forgive me, mother

Sorry

Mom, I've thought it through

I know I need to become

a different person

I don't want to rely

on family anymore

Let me try to make it

outside on my own, okay?

Mommy?

Okay

I never went back

home after that day

because I just wanted

some tranquility

and to live my life

I looked for May

but it was like she disappeared

I think she really must hate me

which means she must

have really loved me

Uncle Dat

Been well?

Yes

Does anyone still

push you around?

Had...a stroke

Nothing to do...with Jack
