Daddy, I'm Zoe...

Shut up!

I killed you.

But you cheated me first!

You went with that f***ing man!

And then you ask me to forgive you?

Daddy, I'm Zoe...

I don't know what you're talking about.

Eva!

And you tried to come back here.

I gotta look at you every day.

I'm the one who raised your daughter.

I've been a good man my whole life.

I am looking at you every day.

You think I feel guilty?

Why do you make me suffer? it's me!

When I got in,

my husband had already fallen off the balcony.

We dared not look down for a long time.

I only wanted to wash the blood off the ground.

Please don't investigate anymore.

You want to hide this incident

because it was Zoe

who pushed your husband off the balcony?

No.

It had to be an accident.

He fell off accidentally.

I killed my foster father.

I did it.

I made him fall off the balcony

by accident that night.

You betrayed me!

So who is Zoe's birth father?

Inspector Lam.

We couldn't find Zoe all night,

nor her classmate.

Aren't you guys watching her 24/7?

She said she had to meet a friend.

Something happened.

Call the station.

Station, at World Wide Exchange Centre

in Admiralty.

If you find the suspect,

immediately ask for support, over.

Hello?

Yes.

OK. Got it. Thanks.

Inspector Lam, two colleagues found Wang.

On the roof of World Wide Exchange Centre.

Fei, split up.

Yes, sir!

Put down your gun!

Put down your gun! Freeze!

Put your hands up and surrender.

You are suspected of murder,

plus multiple assaults and attacking police.

You've been surrounded.

Eugene Wang.

Tell me.

You didn't plan to kill Zoe

because she's the daughter of you and Eva.

Both Eva and you were victims.

you wanted to take revenge on Han Tsui.

But Zoe was one step ahead of you.

You've been trying to mislead the police

into thinking you wanted to hurt her,

but in fact you wanted

carry her guilt as the murderer.

Is that the truth?

Tell me.

Answer me!

Have you ever

held your daughter on your shoulders?

My god!

Is that the truth?

Answer me.

Answer me!

Inform Inspector Lam.

Colleagues,

when the reporters come,

can you keep them 10 meters away?

And we have to clear the crime scene.

Ying,

Thanks.

Inspector Lam,

Since my failed attempt at suicide in prison,

I'd never talked to anyone.

Eva and I had been together since high school.

When she was 19,

she was pregnant with my child.

Her father was infuriated

and locked her up at home

until she gave birth secretly.

I could only climb up at night

and watch through the window.

Hello, it's me.

Listen carefully.

Yes.

He's drunk.

Come over right now to pick me up.

I'll carry the baby too.

The three of us can run away together.

I'll leave right now and pick you up.

Wait for me.

What are you doing?

Who are you talking with?

You want to go out?

I love you so much but you betray me again?

You want to call him?

Why don't you call him? Goto hell!

You really wanna call him?

Call now!

I know he's out there!

I know he's out there!

Nobody can betray me!

Get up!

You wanna run away?

Get up! Come on!

You wanna run away?

You asked him to pick you up, right?

Look outside! Look!

Look!

Look outside!

Ask him to come and take you away!

You wanna call, right?

Say it! What do you want to say?

I've saw a murder

Inspector Lam,

is the truth really that important?

It doesn't matter who really killed Han Tsui.

Even if you know the truth,

it might not do anyone any good.

I really want to know

how it feels to see your own daughter

grow up in front of your eyes.

I truly envy you, Inspector Lam.

She said she has come to turn herself in.

I made my father die by making him

fall off the balcony accidentally.

I'm sorry you had to protect me for so long.

I've been waiting for you.

I knew you'd come to confess in person,

because I can see in your eyes

that you have a conscience.

I just don't want that man to take up my guilt.

Why are you helping me?

Do you know my birth mother?

Do you know my father?

Tell me who he is.

Who's the man that was protecting me?

The man helping me, who is he?

His name is Eugene Wang.

Don't forget him.

Sunbathing?

I've got three Jay Chou

concert tickets for you.

It was so hot. I queued for several hours.

Don't you want to come along?

Of course.

In fact, there's one more thing

that bothers me.

This again?

Give me a break.

If Wang wanted to take the rap for Zoe,

why didn't he turn himself in at the start?

If it wasn't for a stubborn cop like you,

he and Zoe would have walked off free.

Why on earth would anyone suddenly

dig up a 20-year-old case?

If it was anyone else,

they would have stopped

when the button was found.

If it wasn't for you,

the plan would have been perfect.

I'm leaving.

How about dinner together before the concert?

We'll eat at home.

Join us if you want.

Just come up to my place.

Great!
