SISYPHUS

Episode 3

This is the man,

officer.

He was following me.

No, no.

Don’t worry.

Officer, officer.

Listen.

I’m a policeman

I’m on a mission.

Hello.

please show me your ID card.

I’m not lying, honestly.

Look, look.

See?

I’m on a mission.

Zhang Haifeng sent you over, right?

Huh?

Your station isn’t busy, is it?

Don’t you have a crime to solve?

Hey, I’m protecting you.

Please tell Zhang Haifeng

that I’m quite safe right now.

I don’t need his protection.

Stop following me.

Thank you, officer.

-Thank you. -No problem.

Hey, it…it’s my mission.

Please don’t go.

I’m on a mission, officer.

Your badge.

Oh, yeah.

Thank you, thank you.

It’s just a misunderstanding.

Don’t go.

It’s my mission.

I don’t want to do it, either.

They made me do it.

Hello.

Welcome.

Is there something I can help with?

Police. We’re on a case.

We’d like to ask some questions.

Have you seen this person?

He’s one of our regular customers

who often came to buy flowers.

And he’d only buy this kind of flowers every time.

This kind of flowers every time?

Yes.

Did he come a lot?

Not exactly,

but every once in a while.

Is there anything else that you know?

Min.

come here.

I told you to protect Qiao Xin,

what do you come here for?

What’s up with Qiao Xin?

She said all the mean words to me when she saw me.

It was humiliating.

Zhang Haifeng.

Zhang Haifeng.

We lost Qiao Xin.

Zhang Haifeng.

Xiaomeng.

Oh, hi.

What did they want?

I don’t know. They said they were police. I was scared.

Zhao Min,

take some people to Fu Jiliang’s house

to see if there’s any lead.

I’ll go look for your sister-in-law.

The number you called is busy,

please try again later.

The number you called is busy,

please try again later.

Hello.

Zhang Haifeng, what do you want?

Why the heck did you have

your people follow me?

We’ll talk when we meet.

Where are you?

Tell me now.

I have very important things

to tell you.

Prof. Fu,

are you saying there was something

in the water that you drank?

Yes.

There was something in the water.

You drank water every day when you get home?

Yes.

It’s a habit of mine for years.

He seems to know you pretty well.

Know me?

Prof. Fu.

Take a look. Did this person kidnap you?

I can’t tell.

I passed out when I saw him.

Prof. Na.

Think about it.

Did something unpleasant happen between you and someone?

Or did you have a fight with someone?

No.

I don’t have foes, do I?

Min.

My students?

I was nice to them.

Professor, the suspect is still at large.

For your safety,

we’ll send someone to protect you.

These two will be responsible for your safety.

Thank you, thank you.

Just don’t go out for the time being.

And stay safe.

OK.

Just tell them anything that you remember,

okay?

Keep an eye out.

See you.

Qiao Xin, listen to me.

People are seeking revenge on me.

Everyone around me

is in danger.

You are in the greatest danger among all.

So from today on,

you call me

wherever you go,

got it?

We’re divorced.

I’m not around you anymore.

Please, Zhang Haifeng,

stop connecting me to

all these cases of yours.

I am getting married soon.

He’s a nice guy.

He’s nice to me.

Two years ago,

at Duoduo’s funeral, I said,

I hate you.

Now I take it back.

I know that was an accident

and that it was unfair to you.

And...

You were a goof father.

But because of the nature of your job,

you hadn’t no choice.

But I can’t help but hate you.

I especially can’t stand hearing you

telling me that you’re sorry,

that you can't make it.

Every time I got a call like this from you,

I told myself

that I...

I’d forgive you if

you hadn’t said it.

But you kept saying this,

you always did...

But it doesn’t matter now.

Duoduo is gone.

Everything is gone.

Except that I miss her every day.

If one could stop missing someone,

that would be wonderful.

I knew if this state of mine continued,

I’ll be done.

And I knew

the day I broke down,

you’d be the one who suffers the most.

So I had to leave you.

If I didn’t,

I couldn’t save myself.

Sometime I thought,

if only we weren’t...

If only we weren’t together from the start.

If we weren’t together,

we would be living a better life...

than that.

Yeah.

You have to leave me.

Sorry.

Take care of yourself.

Be safe.

After I’m gone,

I don’t want to be back anymore.

See you, then.

Can you make it home on your own?

Sure.

You’re so nice.

Thanks.

Let me know when you get home.

Sister.

A big brother told me to give this to you.

Brother?

You like these flowers.

He seems to know you pretty well.

What are you talking about?

It’s weird.

Come on.
