Heartfall Arises (驚心破)

When you look long into something,

it becomes less familiar.

This city, this building,

this street, the people on it,

even myself.

Then a voice said to me,

when you gaze long into an abyss,

the abyss also gazes into you.

The most notorious

serial killer in Hong Kong

people called him The General.

According to the statistics,

all this victims

got away soot-free for their crimes.

To date,

3 men have been killed.

24 hours before their murders, they each

received a death notice.

Even they tried to escape,

no one was exceptional.

We've less than 30 minutes to save Ben Lam

the HK real estate tycoon.

Can HK Police protect him and

apprehend the General?

The entire city is watching.

Madam, 30 minutes and counting down,

- should we set the bait? - Definitely!

We're on our way over.

John, Control is paging us.

A city wide manhunt for the General,

and you're playing chess.

$0?

This is a setup called "Tempting the Tiger".

Tell Madam Ho

not to waste time.

A real master must see through the game

and the opponent.

You know what an opponent is?

I lose all the time! Enough!

To win, you need your brain,

not your temper. Got it?

Calling control,

the General is on Route 3 heading towards the airport.

Leung Sir wants to seal off Ting Kau Bridge.

Copy! Call SDU for back up!

Hands UP!

Watch out!

The suspect escaped!

Madam, what now?

Tell VIPPU to change location.

Mr. Lam, we go to another safe house.

Can you manage?

Or just say no.

General!

He deserves to die.

But it's not your call.

Can the law stand for justice?

Neither can you.

Surrender.

Never!

Watch out!

"6 months later"

You'll lose.

You can't even look at him,

but he's staring at you.

You're playing with a person, not a table.

Show me.

Pawn at 4 across to 5.

Advisor at 6 up to 5.

Draw.

Let's play another.

You need a break?

You're a patient.

So are you!

Both of you are patients.

Please go back to your rooms.

Girlfriend?

You can tell?

What do you do?

I'll tell you next time.

Have you just met?

I'll tell you next time.

Come on...

Sir, you should be in your room too.

You're also a patient.

I'm Calvin Che.

John Ma.

A rematch.

"12 months later"

Cellular Memory.

This is Robert.

American, 28 years old, weighs 118 kg.

This was taken 16 months after surgery.

This is also Robert.

68 kg.

This was taken 3 months before surgery.

No, he didn't have surgery to gain weight,

he had a heart transplant.

This is Tommy, the heart donor.

He died of renal failure.

His heart was given to Robert.

This was Tommy's favorite food.

Mine too.

An American psychologist Gary Schwartz

once conducted a research.

He said

up to 10% of organ transplant patients

have inherited their donors' taste,

thinking and even behavior.

Cells contain biological data of human genetics.

During an organ transplant,

such data may have been copied to the new owner.

Not only did Robert inherit Tommy's heart,

but also his love for fries.

He went from 68 kg to 118 kg.

Professor, this is a criminal psychology class,

why talk about organ transplant?

If you had a heart transplant from a killer,

would you want to kill too?

We'll continue tomorrow.

In a hurry?

More psychoanalysis?

Even a blind man can see that.

There's nothing to analyze.

It's common sense.

Don't say anything.

You need my help?

Got it. It's the General.

Don't do that! Let me finish.

The Police put a gag order on the media.

How did you know?

Are you a fortune-teller or an undercover?

This is psychoanalysis.

I won't get into that now,

you probably won't get it.

Don't say anything.

I will help you, on one condition.

Madam!

John, stop harassing me.

Let me go back to the Crime Unit.

For the last time,

putting you in the file room

was decided by the boss and your doctor.

You had a heart transplant,

keeping you on the force

is the best I can do for you.

I had a full recovery.

I can't do a desk job.

Then quit!

If you keep harassing me,

you won't even have a desk job.

I think John Ma is most suitable.

Blind chess!

This doesn't count.

I tricked you.

Want to know what I think?

The killer is a General copycat,

that's why you came to me.

Right on!

John,

Professor Calvin Che

is a criminal psychologist,

and our consultant on this case.

Milton Ko from INTERPOL.

He is in charge of the Special Task Force.

Let's look at the screen.

Ben Lam?

Yes.

He was killed this morning.

We received an omen of death before dawn,

but he was killed in less than 3 hours.

In other parts of Asia,

there were 2 similar cases.

Ma, will you accept the challenge?

If I solve the case,

I want to be back in the Crime Unit.

Reward is the best motivation.

I think that's a yes.

Madam Ho gave her consent.

Welcome.

Thank you, Sir!

Rematch?

It's hard to get a taxi here.

Let me drop you.

Why me?

You grab the steering wheel with both hands,

and you're only going 40 on a 50 speed limit.

You're not the prudent type.

You must really want to be reinstated.

All cops want to catch the bad guys,

and not stay home and cook.

Because of the General?

I caught one,

I can catch another.

Good! I was right about you.

I picked the right person.

Please let me off up ahead.

By the way, the move you made...

I really thought it was the General.

After all, I'm the criminal psychologist.
