So Close Page #2

Why would they say "Ouch"?

- I'll show you.

- What? Ouch! What're you doing?

That's why.

This song jammed the communication

system. Let's listen to it for clues.

What are you doing?

Even though my cousin lives

in New York, he hates the cold.

I remember that year. I was young

but very happy as a college student.

I went with my best friend May...

...to a remote island for Christmas.

There, I met Yen.

The three of us spent all our time

together.

Yen and I discovered we had feelings

for one another.

But we had an unspoken agreement

not to let May know about it.

So we hid what we were feeling,

all through the holiday.

May made a date with us to get

together again the following year.

But the day before Yen's return...

...she died in a mountaineering

accident.

It was arranged that I pick Yen up.

We'd agreed to meet

at the mortuary...

...but what happened later

changed my life.

I never thought I'd ever see him again.

Come in.

They've transferred the money

into our account.

- What are you doing?

- You know.

No way.

Why can't I handle cases on my own?

Why must I always be the assistant?

Because you're emotional

and reckless. You lack the skills.

Does that answer the question?

I'm not good enough?

I'll get you for that!

The Chow Lui case. The killer is very

accomplished in I.T., no?

He hacks in then destroys the security

system. This kind of killer is rare.

What does the Secret King do?

He was a secret agent. Now he's old,

so he's called the Secret King.

You've been back a month. How did

you know he exists? Even I don't.

It took me a week to get through the

local files for the last 10 years.

A week? Do you remember anything?

- Are you drinking that coffee?

- Can't you see me using the sugar?

You've put the sugar in the cream.

Your coffee is next to it.

I put the sugar in the cream, then I put

it all in the coffee.

Okay?

Are you feeling all right today?

- Enjoying your novel?

- It's okay.

- Shall I tell you the story?

- Sure.

This story is called

" Made for Each Other."

It's about a man meeting a woman

at a pier...

I'm not done yet.

I don't like it. Tell me another.

All right, there's one called

"We'll Meet Again."

- I don't like that one either.

- I haven't started yet.

It's old hat. They obviously have

feelings for each other.

They're separated, then they

meet again at a bakery...

They meet at a nightclub.

That's worse.

The girl's become a prostitute.

Guess what? He became

the prostitute. It's the opposite.

- She was fine.

- Whatever. Anyway, it's all the same.

Okay, I'll tell you the best one:

" Meant for Togetherness."

Okay, tell me.

A guy makes a date with a girl

to meet at the pier.

And then he tells her:

" If you come, it means we're

meant to be together...

...and we'll treasure our relationship

forever." And if she doesn't...

Lynn?

- What are we doing at the airport?

- Looking for someone.

Someone picking someone up

or seeing someone off?

- It's our old neighbor, Uncle Chan.

- Uncle Chan?

You're too young to remember him.

He's leaving, so we're seeing him off.

Lynn!

If you hadn't come today...

...I'd no longer have the excuse to

come back to visit my cousin's grave.

How could I forget you?

This gentleman looks like...

...our old neighbor Uncle Chan.

I'm Yen, and you are...?

I'm your fourth great-aunt.

You are telling lies again.

Mr. Chow never told me to invest

$2 billion in Dragon stock.

Isn't it the same talking about it

with me now? If you...

In any case, I don't agree.

Let the board of directors decide.

All the board lacks is your vote.

I definitely won't agree to it.

We managed to do away with your

brother, we can deal with Lai Kai-joe.

Your brother forced us into this.

We helped him conquer the world...

...but as soon as he made his fortune,

he abandoned us.

I don't care.

I'll kill whoever gets in my way.

Mrs. Chow.

What's the matter?

Sh*t!

The old man Lai refuses to give in.

Ignore him. When the time comes, I'll

transfer all our stock to Dragon.

We'll be even stronger.

And then you can officially...

...become Mrs. Chow again.

Why's the Secret King so late?

Has he stood us up?

The hardest part of being an officer is

the waiting.

Usually I try to bond with my

assistants, and play...

...educational and interesting games of

communication.

What kind of communication?

- You bait me, I bait you.

- You bait...

I ask you something, back and forth.

- We can ask anything?

- Anything goes.

- Okay.

- You go first.

I'll go first. Okay, how many siblings

do you have?

None. At what age did you

begin jerking off?

What?

Fifteen. Do you have a boyfriend?

No. When was the last time you did it?

Yesterday, yesterday.

Yesterday?

You're working today and you

jerked off yesterday? Look!

- Wow, your eyes are really bloodshot.

- Don't ask me questions like that!

- You might ask if I have a girlfriend.

- Lf you had, you wouldn't do that.

- You ever played with yourself?

- Play with myself?

Certainly not!

No? I don't believe it. Do you

think I'm that naive? Nonsense!

Of course it's nonsense.

It's just a game.

Why are you so serious?

Look at you, you're cute

when you're stupid.

Why are you so secretive?

The older I grow,

the more secretive I am.

Hung, none of my colleagues know

who made the hit you talked about.

Someone who specializes in selling

high-tech goods says 15 years ago...

...someone bought a lot of satellite

equipment from him.

But the buyer was a middle-aged man,

not a woman, like you said.

Turn off the walkie-talkie.

I didn't turn it on.

- How do you think I gather info?

- You gather from our headquarters?

Where in the world would we be

without secrets?

Get out. Drive.

Hey, hey, hey.

Did you have to go so fast?

You trying to kill me?

The Secret King reminded me. We're

concerned with finding the murderer.

But it's impossible.

The security is so tight there.

But the Computer Angel comes

and goes as she pleases...

...shoots the guards and none

of the CCTV capture her face.

Do you think it's an inside job?

The head of security said

all their computer data...

...is accessible only if Chow Lui's

fingerprints...

...were placed on the scanner

and correctly identified.

But Chow Lui is dead, in the mortuary.

So how does access happen now?

That's why I have to prove that my

theory is correct.

The penthouse was Chow's personal

space, so it's not covered by cameras.

All of Mr. Chow's visitors would have

had to take this elevator up.

- Who was first on the scene?

- His younger brother.

I need to use the restroom.

Where is it?

- Over there.

- Women are so much trouble.

Hello, does a Choy Siu-ming

work here?

Yes. What is it, please?

- Mr. Choy, phone home urgently.

- What?

- Something happened to your family.

- Okay.

- What's up?

- Something's happened to my family.

- Is it serious? Go, if it's urgent.

- Don't walk off by yourselves.

Don't worry. We'll wait here.
