Love Me If You Dare
Episode 17
We found the prison in the video of the suspect. We are currently searching it.
Captain!
Captain, he's still breathing.
Captain, here's another one!
She lost too much blood. Her breathing is very weak as well.
We've finished searching the basement and found two lucky survivors. We urgently need medical personnel send down.
Given their characteristic features, they're probably Fan Hai Zhi and He Ai Wen.
We haven't found any other survivors.
Continue searching.
I've arrived.
Miss, you can't enter here.
I am the older sister of the person in charge of investigations, Bo Jin Yan.
I need to see him about something important.
This is my identification. Let me in.
Someone is here for Bo Jin Yan.
Why would Bo Jin Yan's sister have the surname, "Yin"?
The situation now is very urgent. If you won't let me inside, then get him to come out!
I'm sorry. The police are working. Professor Bo is very busy.
Then get Zi Yu. Get Fu Zi Yu!
It's him.
Hello?
Simon, we can finally talk in person.
- What do you want to do? - Has Ms. Yin told you about the bomb?
Kevin, don't move for now.
Group B, don't move.
There may be a bomb inside the villa. Get everyone to retreat the way they came in.
Everyone, retreat the way you came in.
Is this the next step you arranged in your game?
You've taken my prey and ruined my perfect family.
I should express something, shouldn't I?
Do you mind telling me the rules of the game?
I need you to go into the yard first.
You're too far away. There's not enough time.
I'm currently ten meters away from the villa's main building. Is this distance okay?
Very good.
You probably know already.
In the western part of the main building's third floor, and the southern part of the side building's third floor,
I've set bombs. The bombs are bound to two people.
I think I don't need to say who those two people are, right?
Li Xun Ran and Lin Yi Yang.
Li Xun Ran is in the main building. Lin Yi Yang is in the side building.
Once I trigger the bombs, you have three minutes.
From your position, it only takes two minutes for you to run to either room.
Disabling the bomb is very easy.
It only needs your right thumb's fingerprint for the bomb to be disabled.
You understand what I mean?
I understand. You're saying that
in the shortest amount of time, only I can
prevent the explosion. But it's impossible for me to arrive
at both locations withing three minutes. I can only disable one of them.
Li Xun Ran and Lin Yi Yang.
Whom do you choose to kill?
Simon, are you ready to run?
I am about to set off the timer.
Three, two, one.
Don't worry, Jin Yan won't let the bomb go off.
Simon, tell me who you have chosen.
Tell me, what are you feeling right now?
When you are saving one person, you must choose to kill the other.
Even if you don't like this person,
do you still feel uncomfortable?
You must overcome this process.
Murdering is really a very strange feeling.
Once you've enjoyed it, you'll come to like this strange feeling.
You've terminated the bomb, haven't you?
Correct.
You chose Lin Yi Yang?
- Correct. - Li Xun Ran is a cop,
a cop who is honest, kind, and dedicated in the people's eyes.
He has worked with you on three cases, yet you've chosen to kill him
in order to save a gambler, to save an addict, have you?
No. I haven't killed anyone,
and Li Xun Ran isn't in that room in the main building.
Am I right? You do like to kill people,
but you like the feeling of beating me even more.
You thought that observing me for a long time would allow you to understand me,
so you thought that I would choose Li Xun Ran.
But in your plan, you had me rush into that room in the main building first.
In there, not a single person would be in there.
The bomb on Lin Yi Yang would have exploded.
That way, I've both killed someone
and wasn't able to save anyone,
and you would have achieved your goal of beating me.
Am I right?
Are you using Li Xun Ran's life to gamble with me?
Analyzing the mind of a perverted madman
is my job, not a gamble.
Time's up, and there's no sound of a bomb going off.
It seems like my deduction is correct.
It seems like I haven't chosen the wrong person either.
Simon,
you really are the person in the world who understands me the best.
I'm really looking forward to when we meet
and when you become my partner.
Jin Yan, where is Xun Ran?
Xie Han played a game with me just now.
A game?
He bounded separate bombs on two people.
I could only save one of them.
Only one out of those two people could live.
I chose Lin Yi Yang.
Jian Yao, don't be afraid.
You saw as well. Li Xun Ran isn't actually here.
Could it be that Xun Ran...?
Before we successfully closed in, Xie Han must have taken Li Xun Ran away from here.
If only I realized the underlying meaning of that finger earlier, it'd be okay.
He's trying to hard to send the message. As long as I realized sooner,
just one day sooner...
Jian Yao,
I don't know Li Xun Ran,
but I am sure that he wouldn't like you saying those words.
Xie Han is currently on the run. Bringing a live person along with him must be very inconvenient,
but he still took him away.
This means that he must have some other goal.
Don't worry, he won't kill Li Xun Ran.
We still have a chance to rescue him.
It'll be okay.
We've just received news that after numerous days of intense investigation,
the police have already honed in on the place the serial killer has been dumping the corpses
and successfully rescued three abducted victims.
Currently, the suspect in this case is still on the run.
Listen to this piece of music.
Appreciate it slowly.
Its title is "Sculpture". It's a piece that I composed just for you.
I will slowly,
gradually carve it into each one of your cells.
You must understand that only by obeying me can you leave behind all suffering.
In the end, the only things existing in your mind
are me and my commands.
Even though the police have sealed off airports, customs, and ports,
Hong Kong is still a great metropolitan. With such a dense population,
there are so many people coming in and out. He still has many ways to escape,
right?
Yes.
He has many ways, but no matter how cunning he is,
he's still just a perverted criminal.
Remember what I once told you?
I only catch utterly dangerous and vile criminals. Only I can catch him.
I hope that Xun Ran can hold on until that day.
He's the strongest, most undefeatable person I've met.
Ever since I was little,
he was always the one protecting us.
Mom said
Xun Ran was born to be a police officer.
Just this once. You can't make me come for nothing, right?
Just like you said, we'll play together in the winter.
I should apologize to you.
Why?
When I was facing that decision,
even though I've already analyzed his actions, I wasn't really confident inside.
I couldn't say for sure that Li Xun Ran was definitely not in that room.
We're all mere mortals.
Who should live and who should die
is a question that has no answer, that can't be answered.
Under those circumstances, no matter what decision you make,
in your heart, you'll always feel like that decision was wrong.
But precisely because of this,
no matter what decision you make, it will be the right one
because I understand your heart.
----
Where's Jian Yao?
I know she's been through a lot before,
But for a girl, the things that happened in the past few days are too difficult to bear.
I must say that she's responded very well.
Jian Yao is a very unique girl. She's probably already far surpassed your imagination, right?
Sometimes, she's like a bundle of softness,
a cute and small thing you can squeeze in your hands.
Other times, she's extraordinarily strong and tenacious. Even I can lean on her with ease.
[Yin Zi Qi calling]
People's fates are usually intertwined.
Sometimes the connection between people's past and present is very intriguing.
Take you for example.
Your mom is from Tong City, so when you were little, you lived in the same city as she was.
Even if only for a short time, maybe this is just a kind of fate.
It's the beginning of the tip of the string that wraps everything together.
Hey, I'm talking.
You're right.
The past and present are continuous. Maybe the breaching point in this current impasse
still lies with Tommy.
Tommy?
When I solved the flower cannibal case, I thought that he didn't have a companion.
But now we know that even though he didn't have a companion, he always had a mentor.
Under this pretense, much data can be reanalyzed.
You're saying we should review the details in Tommy's case together and see if there's anything related to Hong Kong.
Tommy and Xie Han are different. He is completely an American.
If we can find any traces related to Hong Kong in his past, then all resources he used
may very likely be provided by Xie Han.
Come to pick up the goods?
You look unfamiliar. Did Old Chen's store switch people?
The boss's business is doing well. His one worker was too busy, so he asked me to come.
Guys, get to work.
Is Uncle Cai here?
You know old Cai?
Does he still like to hide away in his shop and count his jewels?
We're old friends. Haven't seen him in a long time. I'm going to say hi.
Xie Han's activity in Hong Kong are cautious and efficient.
This is not something that he can achieve by just controlling Li YiYang.
The foundation he has in Hong Kong must be very profound. It's definitely not some temporary, short term operation.
That's true, locally speaking.Although the police have been searching very thoroughly,
he can still disappear without a trace. He doesn't seem like a transient tourist here.
The investigation on Xiehan has hit a dead end.
We can only hope that Tommy used the resources of Hong Kong in the past.
Call Susan. We need to ask her to review the data on Tommy again.
Hey,
you do know that the files on Tony can fill this big of a case right?
Susan will kill you!
Her hand can't reach farther than the Pacific Ocean.
Call her. This is the prime working hours in America.
Why is it that Jian Yao can sleep,
but I have to work?
So much for caring about friends more than lovers.
What is the matter, old Cai?
In the past when I opened that person's chest and took out his ribs,
when I pulled the diamond out and put it in your hands,
you didn't look like this.
What do you want now?
A commodity and I need to leave Hong Kong.
I will give you three days to prepare.
----
Coffee! Milk! Sugar!
There's only instant coffee.
Anything is fine.
What have you guys been searching for all night?
Tommy.
It's rare to see you like this.
If Xie Han leaves Hong Kong with Xun Ran,
our investigation will be even harder. Now every minute and second
is very important.
Tell me, who are you?
I am Li Xun Ran.
You are not, you are my work of art.
I am Li Xun Ran. I am not... I am not your work of art.
The stronger your spirit, the steadier your determination,
the greater the ability to create perfection.
For you, I will not hesitate to melt countless skulls.
You will be my most successful experiment.
Officer, here are the documents you wanted.
Thank you.
Professor Bo, this is Kevin.
We have found li Yiyang's cellphone on the mountain.
Xie Han has used it only once to make a call to Yin Zi Qi.
I'm sorry, but we don't have any news of Li Xun Ran.
Hmmm, I'll keep in touch.
Everyone, listen to me.
We have already rescued 3 victims.
This is very good, but the suspect,
and another victim are still in our city.
I know that everyone is having a tough time now,
but now is not the time to relax.
Every juncture, airport, roads, tunnels,
should be under our supervision,
Including private planes and boats. Make sure that we don't overlook any mode of transportation.
Everyone, I don't care if we offend anyone important
Whoever has opinion against our action, bring the person to see me.
Do you understand? Understand!
How is it going?
I just need at most another 2 hours,
and I will be able to finish reviewing all of the information the FBI has sent about Tommy.
There are some other non-electronic documents that people in America are examining right now.
Up to now,
we haven't found any connection between Tommy and Hong Kong.
That might be the maid delivering the tableware.
Director,
Miss Li, good morning.
Both of them are very busy now.
Jian Yao wasn't trying to get rid of you. We are both really busy.
I am not as efficient as him. You can talk to me instead.
Firstly, thank you very much for rescuing Yi Yang.
The stocks of Li Enterprise suffered a bit because of this matter, but it is fine now.
Now Yin's has increased another 11% of its holding of Li's Enterprise.
Congrats!
Congrats.
Jian Yao, you probably don't know what you are congratulating her for right?
My sister is saying that Yin Enterprise is now Li Enterprise's largest shareholder,
so their control is now greater than before.
She can now get rid of her engagement with Yi Yang.
I will go down and get coffee for everyone.
Did I miss something?
What?
Does your company have another murder case?
Of course not.
I am only very curious.
Are you and Jian Yao dating?
What is there to be curious about?
I am a healthy, normal guy.
I am clarifying first that I am not meddling with your life.
It's just that you have no experience in love, so I need to ask you some questions first.
Are you sure that she is the one that you want?
Why do you ask me this?
Objectively speaking, you have many outstanding qualities, and of course, Jian Yao is a good girl.
But I have some concerns...
All these years, you have had no interaction with girls.
She is your first female assistant. Given that you were both single and spending all your time with each other,
it's hard to not act impulsivel, but are you sure that that is love,
not just because she was by your side? If it were any other girl,
would you have the same feelings?
You have completely confirmed something for me.
It doesn't mean that the more relationships you have, the more you will know about love.
Talent is very important.
Even though you've had plenty of experience with relationships, you still don't understand something simple.
What do you mean? The question you asked before is a paradox.
If you think through it carefully, there are so many women in the world.
Why had I been using only male assistants before until Jian Yao appeared.
Then I changed my habit of many years and used a female assistant?
I understand now.
Even though I still find it hard to comprehend, I still have to say,
I am genuinely happy for you and sincerely wish the both of you happiness.
Thanks!
Where is your sister?
She has left.
What did you guys talk about?
Nothing much.
She sincerely wished me happiness.
Here, there is something interesting.
What is it?
It's going to be dark soon. Quickly send this over to Shu Zi.
Let's go and visit our old friend, Tommy.
"Hong Kong police solved the jewelry smuggling case using the animal specimens."
Have a seat.
Hi Beautiful!
Believe me, this is not where I want to be on a sunday morning.
You will be smart to answer my questions. No tricks!
or else I swear that I will make your life even more miserable here than what it is.
Got it?
Is that the way that old lovers talk to each other now?
You forgot the magic word!
2009,
you were working on a freight dock at the port of Seattle where you killed 3 people.
And they were very delicious.
Meanwhile, one of your colleagues accidentally fell into the ocean and died.
His body was transferred to his hometown, Hong Kong.
Chinese always like to be buried in their homeland, don't they?
It wasn't really an accident, was it?
He was your fourth victim.
The only reason the body was intact was because the person who hired you needed the body for his own purposes.
Police never realised that you were involved in that case.
Imagination is not the police best suit.
2010,
at the same port,
police solved the case of stolen jewelry stored in the animal carcasses.
But at that time, you were not living in Seattle.
So the connection between the 2 cases remain undiscovered.
Although the body of your 4th victim was also used to transfer stolen jewellery.
The police really didn't do their job now.
Tommy, I want you to tell me.
Who is behind all this?
I have a life sentence without parole.
Why should I tell you?
Just because you are all pretty?
Tommy,
Tommy, you are a legend!
This case is your highest achievement!
Yet, a major part of your masterpiece is missing...
Don't tell me that you don't want it to be acknowledged?
Everyone should know that I can make them scream in horror every night.
I don't know his name,
but he is kind of somebody in Hong Kong.
In here, he has a giant tattoo.
A black lotus from hell.
We were so happy together.
He shouldn't forget who I am.
I must remind him of my existence.
I have to...
