find a better lady.

It's no easy job.

A top woman is rare to come by.

You can't see her anyway...

...even if she looks like Susan.

She'll make me lose face

in front of my friends.

Johnston, I'm here.

You ordered so many dishes.

Thank you.

And shark's fin soup, too.

Abalone?

Try some.

- Just rice will do

- OK

Here are the files you wanted.

They are hard to come by.

I've spent several nights in compiling them.

These are classified.

It took a lot of strings to get them.

Give them to me.

They're heavy.

I know it's all my fault.

You've every right to be mad.

But please listen to my explanation.

I don't love you. Go to hell.

How does that feel?

Nothing.

Come up.

Coming.

Are you making a movie? So many pads.

I'll get hurt.

That's the point.

I want you to feel their pain.

Do away with these.

- Can you do it?

- OK

- You sure?

- I'm fine

Hold on.

D*ckhead, did you dump me for her?

Needless to say.

I'm prettier than you,

my boops are bigger.

Sorry.

Go on!

You're not jumping? Let's go get a room.

Watch out! Easy!

Can you get into character?

I'll play it right.

What's wrong?

I can't get into character

if I restrain myself.

Let's play it for real. Just once?

Alright.

Why...

Why did two people so much in love...

...would end up like this?

Breaking up is always ugly and nasty.

The opposite of love is hate.

But Susan and the likes of you...

...won't understand this...

...because you have never been in love.

Right?

Enough?

I'm full.

That's right

Maintain this kind of emptiness.

Let me finish it.

Johnston?

You sure I have to do the tatoo?

Does it have to be "Forever Valentino"?

The statement said the missing girl

had such a tatoo.

It's awful. I don't know any Valentino.

And I don't love Valentino.

Even the tatooist

reminded me to think twice.

I'll be stuck with it.

Then forget it.

We'll stop investigating.

Vinci Lai.

Where did you go after you did the tatoo?

May Wong, where did you go?

Kay Yeung, where did you go?

Karen Man, where did you go?

And Sylvia Choi, where were you?

Where...

...did all of you go?

The murderer is a cab driver.

- Where're you going?

- Find the taxi driver.

- Find the taxi driver.

- How do you do that?

Tell me once more the date of missing.

Hannah Leung, missing in February, 1995.

Speak clearly.

In these few days...

...I was dumped and heartbroken

by you for 10 times.

I'm trying my best.

Hannah Leung, February 7, 1995.

May Wong, October 11, 1996.

Karen Man, May 22, 1997.

Lilian Lee, December 28, 1998.

Haley Cheung, September 9, 1999.

Fanny Chan, February 14, 2002.

Kay Yeung, March 19, 2003.

Hilda Ko, August 25, 2004.

Vinci Lai, November 30, 2005.

Sylvia Choi, January 12, 2006.

And Minnie, June 20, 1997.

The muderer didn't commit

any crime in 2000 and 2001.

And no more such cases after 2006.

What happened to the murderer?

Did I have enough money for the taxi?

You're heartbroken,

this didn't come across your mind.

Why was I heartbroken?

These other girls broke up

with their boyfriends.

I'm unlike them.

You're intimate friends.

You're heartbroken

because she avoided you.

You waited for her until

midnight and took a taxi.

You must have fallen for her secretly.

You're a lesbian.

Not uncommon for an

adolescent girl like you.

You must be.

Hello, Szeto Fabo?

This is not a truce.

Listen. Go find out a taxi driver...

...who quit driving in 2000 and 2001.

Bastard! He dares not come.

I volunteered to come

myself. May I sit down?

Szeto is very unhappy.

I don't want him to be like that.

Things were not quite like you thought.

There were things even Szeto didn't know.

The truth is, when I

first saw both of you...

...Szeto was the one

who attracted me, deeply.

I fell for him immediately.

1, 2, 3, 4...

I planned to go after him

after the dance contest.

But both of you didn't show up...

...until that day.

Sir, who are you looking for?

You're not allowed into

the ladies' changing room.

The man is quite well built...

...wears a leather jacket, smokes a cigar...

...and behaves arrogantly.

Dunno what he's after?

Are you alright?

It's not my fault.

- She suddenly dashed out.

- Call the ambulance.

Don't be afraid.

I'm Senior Inspector.

Szeto Fabo.

Don't be afraid.

It turned out the man I admired was...

...a Dirty Harry type cop.

At that moment...

...I decided to be with that man...

...for the rest of my life.

He's my one life, one love.

That's enough.

I get the picture.

But may I ask one question?

You said when you first set eyes on us...

...the one who attracted you...

...was him. But why?

He's cool.

Tell me, who's more cute?

She must be blind.

She told you she's infatuated with Szeto.

It's you who thought otherwise.

Just your wishful thinking.

Stand still, eye on the window.

Imagine yourself to be Minnie.

Slit your wrist.

That's a real knife.

Nothing to lose with a look like Susan.

There'll be scars.

Scars are bad for pretty girls, not Susan.

OK.

How was that?

How did that feel?

A bit overact, I must say.

Not heartbroken enough.

A bit forced.

Got that.

Once more.

Just imagine.

Minnie took after her grandma...

...totally infected by

the notion of love, OK?

OK.

You're Minnie. At school...

You had no friends, but it's alright...

...because you only cared for a boy.

You secretly loved him.

Finally you got to know him,

and started...

...dating each other.

You're in love.

But soon he grew tired of you.

He decided to break up with you.

He dumped you, you were deeply hurt.

It hurt so much you

started mutilate yourself.

Enough.

Stop, Ho!

Stop, Stop!

Minnie wasn't waiting for you.

Was someone living upstairs?

It's been vacated for a long time.

I mean the time when Minnie came.

Yes.

Was it a boy of similar age as Minnie?

Yes.

Studying in the same school? Cute?

Where is he?

"Zhuhai"

Grilled Jumbo Prawn. Please enjoy.

Thank you.

This way.

- Thank you

- You're welcome.

Something to drink?

- Iced sake, please.

- Sure.

Thank you.

Did you live in Hong Kong?

Durham Street in Kowloon Tong?

Yes.

Are you Joe?

You are...

Ho, I lived downstairs.

Please enjoy, sir.

Darkie?

You looked completely different.

Much fairer skin now.

Almost not recognisable.

What are you up to?

Still picking fights?

No, I tripped

Are you still going

after cats with air guns?

Of course not. That's kid stuff.

Please pick your choice.

The Beef Set, please.

Thank you.

Did you emigrate to Brazil?

In 1997?

I returned three years ago.

Started this restaurant with a friend.

- OK

- Zhuhai is better for business.

At the time you left...

...Minnie also disappeared.

Did you know Minnie?

Minnie Lee?

She studied in our school,

in fact the same class with you.

Don't recall anything.

Not at all?

She used to hang out at my place.

No, didn't ring a bell.

Fried rice, Sir. Please enjoy.

Excuse me, one more Grilled Jumbo Prawn.

Of course.

Johnston, want any night snack?
