Nightfall

George Lam, you're drunk again?

The boss wants you back for a meeting.

Got it. I'll be there soon.

Who's he?

Grab drinks from the fridge.

Sit down.

Sit down.

Where have you been all night?

You know what time it is now?

I know, I know.

Who's that?

He's my classmate.

My Dad.

We've got a project to discuss.

Why not go to library?

Go to work. Don't be so old-fashioned, OK?

We'll stop here. Let's eat first.

OK. Yes, sir.

Let's grab a bite. Hey, let's eat.

George.

You stay behind. I want to talk to you.

Why did you apply to reopen that old case?

I've gone through materials again.

Something doesn't look right.

It doesn't look like a suicide.

I suspect the man was murdered.

Let me tell you:
They've been solved.

And that's that.

Don't waste police effort anymore.

Chief, even if a case is closed,

it doesn't mean the truth was uncovered

The point of investigating

is to dig out the truth.

You know

how many old cases you've dug up?

Just one has been worth it so far.

t's fine if you don't care about promotion,

but don't drag others down.

If one case in 10 can be overturned,

it's not a waste of effort, Chief.

I know.

Your wife's suicide is still on your mind.

You keep thinking she was murdered.

t's been five years. Let it go.

Don't mention my wife.

She wouldn't have left nothing behind.

Not even a suicide note.

I knew her so well.

She wouldn't have killed herself.

We've been together since the Academy.

I don't want you to mess up.

Take care.

Eugene Wang.

You've served your time

and today you'll be out on parole.

We hope 20 years in prison

helped you reflect on your crime and reform.

Now you're going to be released on parole.

To help you reintegrate into community,

the Social Welfare Department

found you a music store job.

You've got to report

to your parole officer every week.

Here are your personal belongings,

and the prison wages you've earned

Why didn't you take my call?

Sorry.

Don't you know Daddy worries about you?

The timetable says you finish by 5:30

and you should be here at 5:45.

What were you doing?

I went to the toilet.

Your period?

Tell Daddy next time, OK?

Hello, Mr Tsui!

Dean.

Picking up your daughter?

Yes, Dean.

I heard your retirement concert sold out fast.

Many fans couldn't get tickets.

You'd better add two more shows.

Ticket sales aren't my concern.

I don't deal with money matters.

I never get involved.

Of course you don't.

Time to go home and practice piano.

I'd better let you go.

OK. Bye-bye.

Bye. Bye-bye, Dean.

Get in the car.

Who was the boy staring at you this afternoon?

Why was he smiling at you?

What's your relationship with him?

Nothing.

Nothing?

Nothing's going on.

What do you mean by nothing?

Say it clearly, won't you?

Don't lie to me!

Don't you lie to me!

I saw how he stared at you,

I saw it!

Ridiculous!

Ridiculous!

I hit you. You should find it shameful too.

I'm just trying to teach you.

There are too many bad people in this world.

Everybody just wants something from you.

It won't happen again.

What won't happen again?

I won't be with boys anymore.

Remember what you promised to me.

I'm just here to protect you.

I just want to protect you.

You can only be safe by my side.

Do you understand?

No one cares and loves you more than me

it's hard to find a hut with windows.

$3,000 is a total bargain.

Hey!

Want to scare me?

You're so chicken-hearted.

See? isn't my timing perfect?

Are you stalking me?

Not really. I just want to

bump into you.

Hurry up!

Why would someone call you?

Who has your phone number?

Who?

Answer the phone.

Zoe, answer the phone.

Who is it?

Someone's calling you.

Take the call!

I told you the phone

was for your mother and for me

to Contact you during emergencies.

You gave the number to others.

You just give everybody your phone number.

Daddy knows full well what those boys think.

They want to sleep with you!

They all want to.

Do you want them to have sex with you?

You're so selfish!

Really, I didn't.

Stand up.

Don't go to school anymore.

Can you hear me? Don't go to school!

School means nothing to you.

They just want to screw you to death.

Do you get it?

Hey!

Such a hurry.

I've got the cake for you too.

Of course you need a cake for the birthday.

I nagged my daughter so much

to spend her birthday with me.

Wow! Why buy so many things?

Are they yours?

I bought them for you.

Even a kitchen knife?

Can you not pull it out? Not on the street.

I never go to your place.

How can I tell

if you have a knife at home or not?

Really have no idea what to get.

Digital camera!

Me?

OK. I'll help you buy it.

Also in local news:

A father with serious heart problems

risked his life

to save his daughter

by donating half his liver to her.

t's just a liver.

For his daughter's sake,

he would even give his life.

The operation was conducted this morning

at Queen Mary Hospital.

The liver transplant was a success.

Don't you agree?

The daughter is stable

but the father is still in critical condition.

I got it for you.

Thanks a lot.

Come.

How about I carry the cake to your place?

Why don't you work on cases if you have time?

Actually, I need to use your bathroom.

There's a toilet over there.

Great! Happy birthday!

Another year older.

Thank you.

Know what I'm doing right now?

I'll go back later.

What is it?

The coroner arrived?

Fine, I'll be right there.

Just go.

Sorry, but it's really a big case.

Just go!

Why all the fuss about cutting the cake?

Go investigate your big case, Inspector Lam.

What kind of attitude is that?

What's wrong with my attitude?

Kids without a mother around are all like this.

You investigate day and night.

The whole house is filled with victims' photos.

So why can't you dig up why Mum killed herself?

How do you know I didn't try?

Her death has nothing to do with me.

I didn't want your Mum to die either.

t's a waste of time talking to you.

I should have celebrated with my friends

instead of cutting the cake here with you.

Goodbye, victims!

Well and truly dead.

Much of the victim's skin has been burned.

Totally disfigured.

His face and fingerprints

are burned and mangled.

If you want to throw up, step aside and wait.

We checked the area all around here.

There's nothing on him:

no clothes, no wallet, no ID.

We can't work out his identity yet.

Great. That's plenty to look into.

The victim was severely injured.

Soaked, burned, beaten...

Say what?

Soaked, burned, beaten, everything.

We need to investigate

in the lab before confirming

the cause and time of death.

Judging from the injuries and bloating,

he can't have been dead more than 24 hours.

The killer is smart.

Tying weights to sink the victim to the seabed.

Thought no one would find the body.

So how was the body discovered?

This beach is deserted. Few people come here.

These people came here to fish today.

One of them dropped a watch in the water.

They searched for it
