Also, a few months ago,

my wife had cl miscarriage.

She was 4 months pregnant...

What does this have to do with...

No man. Why do you bofile all this sh*t up?

This supports my diagnosis.

This is going to be difficult

for you to accept.

There is u rare form of menial illness

known as "brief psychotic disorder".

Simply put, it's a short-term

illness with psychotic symptoms.

If usually occurs offer,

or in response to, severe trauma,

such as assault,

loved ones,

catastrophic events,

or major stress in life.

Symptoms usually appear suddenly,

often in the form of hallucinations.

Whcli do you mean?

Are you saying I'm CFCIZY?

Yes, but not entirely.

You gonna listen 10 this quack-off?

Where'd you buy your license from?

Brief psychotic disorder, BPD

usually lasts no more than a few monfhs.

I will give you some meds,

if should help deal with

the hallucinations.

Bullshit.

Way to push the drugs, right?

Don't listen 10 this guy,

do not believe him Li

I appreciate ii,

but will you just go ouf

and have a smoke or something?

Doctor, are you sure about this?

Maybe, maybe ii was something I ate.

I'm quite certain.

Often, BPD symptoms include

disorieniafion or confusion,

delusions of grandeur, and

seeing and hearing things

that aren't there.

Are you saying

I've been imagining everything lately?

Of course not.

Everything you did was real.

The places you went all exist.

You need to deal with this illness,

before if gets dangerous.

Here. Look of this.

I storied recording earlier...

Are you saying I'm CIGZY?

Yes, but no!' entirely.

I appreciate if,

but will you just go out and

have a smoke or something?

So what's up, you crazy or what?

Seems like if.

Really. You're not

gonna get a second opinion?

No need.

So what now.

Of course I didn't win the jackpot.

So what's if this time?

I haven't been feeling well.

Wasn't that last week's excuse?

Let's not ploy this game, okay?

I've let your recent absences slide,

but don't think you can'? Be replaced.

What's with ihe bed head?

Comb your damn hair. Boss wants 10 see you.

I'm sure he won't let us down.

Done with the old guy, let's go.

We goi crime fighting io do!

From whc I've heard,

your recent performance

hasn't been up to par.

Shape up and focus.

That's if for now.

Finally! I thought the old

geezer would never shut up.

Sir, would if be possible

for me to work from home?

I'll be able lo concentrate beer,

and less risk of others geing involved.

What do you think?

Now you're fcllking.

Yang?

Perhaps for The iime being...

There'll be fewer distractions.

I'll be calling io check in.

Come on, what do you...

Hey Li, is there

something wrong with the door?

Meeting?

She's changed.

Back in the day

she probably would have

thought this idea first.

Kid won't solve.

After the baby...

ifs just mood swings with her now.

Where'd you get all this footage from?

Whenever she does cm undercover reporting,

she has to secretly tape her

interviews to keep as evidence.

She's got more balls than you do.

Yeah, worries fhe hell ouf of me.

She loves her work.

The key is to capture every detail

of the illegal activity on camera,

otherwise the station can't

broadcast the story.

The roof of my marital troubles.

Dayyan Eng

Dayyan Eng, known as Wu Shixian in China (Chinese: 伍仕贤; pinyin: Wǔ Shìxían) (Born in Taiwan in 1975), is a Chinese-American filmmaker. He studied film arts at the University of Washington and transferred to the Beijing Film Academy, where he finished his undergraduate studies in directing. In 2001, he wrote and directed Bus 44 (Chinese: 车四十四; pinyin: Chē Sì Shí Sì) starring Chinese film star Gong Beibi. The film premiered and won awards at the 2001 Venice Film Festival and 2002 Sundance Film Festival, and was invited to 2002 Cannes Film Festival "Directors' Fortnight" - becoming the first Chinese short film to be invited in all three festivals' history. The film was covered extensively in the Chinese media and was critically acclaimed in both China and Europe and gained TV and theatrical distribution in territories worldwide. In 2005, Eng wrote and directed a Chinese independent feature film Waiting Alone (Chinese: 独自等待; pinyin: Dú Zì Děng Dài), starring an ensemble cast of Chinese stars including Xia Yu, Gong Beibi, Li Bingbing, and featuring cameos from some of Asia's most well-known actors including Chow Yun-fat. The film has been called one of 2005 "best films" by over 50 media. Waiting Alone became a hit after its September 2005 domestic China wide-release, and went on to receive 3 nominations (including Best Picture) at the Chinese Academy Awards (Golden Rooster Awards) -- the first ever in the history of the awards by a foreign director. The film remains the highest-rated romantic comedy in China on Douban and other review sites. Eng was invited, in 2007, to direct the first-ever opening short for the Chinese academy awards. He got some of Asia’s biggest stars, Ziyi Zhang, Liu Ye and Ge You, to spoof the action-movie genre in a humorous send-up on national TV in China. In 2011, Eng wrote, directed, and produced Inseparable starring Oscar-winner Kevin Spacey, Daniel Wu, Gong Beibi, Yan Ni, and Peter Stormare. The quirky psychological suspense/dramedy debuted at the Busan International Film Festival in 2011 to positive reviews and was released in China in May 2012. Inseparable was named as one of The Wall Street Journal’s Top 10 Most Notable Asian Films of the Year. In 2015, Eng was invited to be on the five-member jury of the prestigious China Film Director's Guild Awards. In 2017, Eng returned to his comedy roots with an indie film (co-written by Justin Malen) Wished (Chinese: 反转人生; Pinyin: Fan Zhuan Ren Sheng), which debuted in third place at the Chinese box office (behind Transformers 5 and a Chinese action film). It went on to beat market expectations and gross an estimated RMB$70 million. The fantasy-comedy had the highest audience scores (averaging 8.0/10) for live-action comedies released that summer, and gained a total of 100,000,000 paid views across the top three online movie platforms in just over two weeks in China. Wished stars Xia Yu, Yan Ni, K-pop star Victoria Song along with cameos from China’s biggest names including Daniel Wu, Wang Baoqiang, Bao Bei'er et al. Wished went on to win a Golden Angel Award at the 2017 Chinese American Film Festival, and Best Fantasy Film and Best Director awards (in addition to wins in several other major categories, including Best Actor/Actress, Best Editing, Best VFX) at the 2018 Los Angeles Film Awards and New York Film Awards. It was an official selection at the 37th Hawaii International Film Festival. more…
