Seung[closing the door]: I was out doing my business. How is the training going? Deci[suddenly approaches an attack toward Seung to show her improvement] Seung[gasps her moves and blocks...] [she almost couldn't withhold the speed]: not bad. Deci: I am learning everyday. Seung: Believe me, when boss finds out you are becoming more and more of a willful killer, the arrows will be turned away. Deci: hopefully. I will not be a disgrace to my sisters, ever... [in HK, in Edan's home] Pit: Edan, do you know where B... Suet is? Edan[a little nervous]: I was walking with her just then. I losted her around the corner. Pit[seems unworried] Oh all right.

Tommy: I was wondering why you left before the investigation even ended. Ice: I... Tommy: It's ok, I understand. It must have been tough for you. Ice:.... Tommy: You wanted to know about the case, right? It's been so long...8 years long. Ice: I just want to know, who is responsible for Bo Yau's death? Tommy: I'm sure you know his body was never found....we never found it even after your departure Ice[nods]: no one was convicted? Tommy[hesistates]: no...as the case went on, we found out that he had connections with some illegal business. He owed a debt. Ice: illegal dealings? He's a police officer....he was killed by loansharks? I recalled he didn't owe money to anyone. Tommy: no...it should be a professional killer Ice(killers...): his name was never cleared, wasn't it? Tommy: we never had a chance to dig through the whole truth. Ice: it's because he didn't have a chance to explain himself...how is Jen? Tommy: maybe it was because of her brother's incident, she immediately join the police force after college. Currentlly, she holds a position in my team. [at Edan's apt. building...] Ice: Thanks for discussing it with me. Tommy: Bing... Ice: I still preferred to be called Ah So.

[unknown....] Pit: Hang should be back in HK very soon. Fung: What about Joe? I've been notified that he hasn't been taking his orders for over a month. Edan: Boss, he will report himself... Fung: when will that be? [there was silence] Fung: I hope he will realize the consequences...now leave me. [both Pit and Edan left] Sean[comes out]: Boss, I know who that girl is. Fung: There is really a woman involved? Sean: Yes, she is called Wan Suet. I've seen her around with Joe most of the time. Oddly, Joe is no where to be found but that girl has been wtih Edan and Pit constantly in HK. Fung: Wan surname? Sean: Yes. Fung: I guess they still haven't learnt their lesson, especially for Pit, such a pity. [looks at Sean] You know what to do.

Hang: guys, let's not stand here. [they all went inside] Ice:.... Rain: Girl, where have you been? Ice[felt so bad, trying to fight with her conscience]: I don't know. [the door unlocks from the outside...Edan and Pit comes home] Pit[shocked] Edan: You guys came. Hang: Yes, we got on the plane as soon as we received your phone call. Jaye: What's wrong with Suet? [looking at the guys] Edan: she, she has amnesia. Rain: What? Jaye: no wonder, your behavior is so different. Ice:....[just looked around brightly] Rain: so you have no idea who did this to you?
