[00:29] ---
    There's 20 minutes left
    to the time of the incident.
[00:32] ---
    How are you?
[00:33] ---
    Are you ready?
[00:35] ---
    Mhmm, no problem.
[00:37] ---
    After the murderer breaks in,
    he'll hide in the bathroom.
[00:40] ---
    After you turn on the light,
    he'll lunge at you with a knife.
[00:42] ---
    This is the best opportunity
    to rip his mask off...
[00:45] ---
    Lu Guang.
[00:47] ---
    This time, can you let me take the lead?
[00:50] ---
    You?
[00:51] ---
    What do you mean?
[00:55] ---
    Do you remember
    the message the murderer left
[00:57] ---
    when Qiao Ling last called Xu Shanshan?
[00:59] ---
    Yes.
[01:01] ---
    I will show up as promised.
[01:06] ---
    That's what I thought.
[01:08] ---
    What if I'm the person
[01:11] ---
    who made an appointment with him?
[01:12] ---
    Are you saying that
    because of us diving back into the photo,
[01:15] ---
    we have created an alternate timeline?
[01:18] ---
    That's right.
[01:19] ---
    If you think about it this way...
[01:25] ---
    ...it all makes sense.
[01:27] ---
    So what do you plan to do?
[01:30] ---
    Follow his train of thought,
[01:32] ---
    give him a few hints,
[01:34] ---
    and bring him into the game.
[01:36] ---
    I'll regard Emma's message
    sent at 10 am as hint.
[01:46] ---
    Here we are.
[01:51] ---
    I'm sure perverts like him
    who commit such meticulous crimes
[01:54] ---
    can't stand being
    seen through and provoked.
[01:57] ---
    After he takes the bait,
    we can make our next move--
[02:00] ---
    "Please enter the urn."
[02:02] ---
    Why do you think he would
    he walk right into your trap?
[02:06] ---
    Because of the motion sensor
    doorbell in our shop.
[02:09] ---
    Come and receive guests!
[02:11] ---
    Come and receive guests!
[02:15] ---
    I've re-recorded a small section
    and placed it in the darkroom.
[02:18] ---
    You're pretty punctual.
[02:21] ---
    The moment he enters...
[02:27] ---
    You're pretty punctual.
[02:33] ---
    No wonder you were dawdling around
    in the darkroom all afternoon,
[02:35] ---
    you were preparing for this.
[02:37] ---
    Wow.
[02:39] ---
    Getting your approval
    really isn't an easy thing.
[02:42] ---
    There's another problem.
[02:43] ---
    Even if we can catch
    the person who spoke to us,
[02:46] ---
    how can we prove
    that he is the serial killer?
[02:49] ---
    This is the most exciting
    part of the plan,
[02:51] ---
    but also the most dangerous.
[04:49] ---
    Are you surprised
    that I'm prepared?
[04:53] ---
    Since I can talk to you through her,
[04:56] ---
    naturally, I have ways
    to perceive your every move.
[04:59] ---
    Let's play a game.
[05:02] ---
    You'll receive a clue
    at ten in the morning.
[05:09] ---
    My phone...
[05:12] ---
    Tomorrow at this time,
[05:15] ---
    use the clue to find me.
[05:21] ---
    Interesting!
[05:23] ---
    If I win, will you promise
    to be my new friend?
[05:27] ---
    I won't inform the police,
[05:28] ---
    but you must ensure Xu Shanshan's safety.
[05:37] ---
    I've locked him inside!
[05:40] ---
    Well then,
[05:41] ---
    the game...
[05:47] ---
    ...is over!
[05:49] ---
    Oh.
[05:50] ---
    So it really is you.
[05:52] ---
    How interesting!
[05:56] ---
    Is killing innocent people
    interesting to you, too?
[05:59] ---
    Killing innocent people?
[06:04] ---
    I'd never do such a worthless thing.
[06:16] ---
    That doesn't hurt at all.
[06:20] ---
    Oh, you're gone.
[06:25] ---
    I've finally found my true friend.
[06:30] ---
    Even if we can catch the person
    who spoke to us,
[06:32] ---
    how can we prove
    that he is the serial killer?
[06:36] ---
    This is the most exciting
    part of the plan,
[06:38] ---
    but also the most dangerous.
[06:45] ---
    What are these?
[06:47] ---
    I went through various social media
    accounts on SNS.
[06:52] ---
    By sticking these photos
    all over the darkroom,
[06:54] ---
    I can defeat him with ease.
[06:55] ---
    I'll provoke him.
[06:59] ---
    A competitive person like him
    will inevitably expose his weak points.
[07:14] ---
    Gosh, what is this?
[07:16] ---
    You only care about yourself,
    and you cut off half my face!
[07:20] ---
    Then, then you do it.
[07:24] ---
    My hand is too short,
    my face would look too big.
[07:27] ---
    It's better if you do it.
[07:32] ---
    Um, pig head,
[07:35] ---
    why are you daydreaming?
[07:48] ---
    Why should I repent?
[07:50] ---
    What did I do wrong?
[08:03] ---
    Your parents are in a rush
    for you to get married,
[08:05] ---
    but you seem pretty calm.
[08:07] ---
    Well, is marriage that important?
[08:10] ---
    Come, Juan Juan, sit properly.
[08:12] ---
    Let Mommy take a photo of you.
[08:13] ---
    Oh my goodness,
[08:14] ---
    I think you might as well spend
    the rest of your life with it.
[08:36] ---
    Committees of each class,
    gather after this meeting
[08:39] ---
    To collect the monthly
    exam papers and transcripts.
[08:42] ---
    We're having such a serious
    school meeting, yet here you are,
[08:45] ---
    secretly taking photos of
    your female classmates.
[08:47] ---
    Are you not ashamed?
[08:48] ---
    Each photo here represents
    a life you've destroyed.
[08:56] ---
    And the victims have done nothing wrong!
[09:03] ---
    The police is investigating
    Chenjin's cause of death.
[09:07] ---
    I see.
[09:09] ---
    It's done through clapping.
[09:15] ---
    Let me see,
    were my eyes closed?
[09:23] ---
    Hmm, this is pretty good.
[09:26] ---
    I'll go home and edit it a little,
    then I'll post it on Weibo.
[09:30] ---
    Why do young people
    love posting stuff online?
[09:33] ---
    Hey, what do you know?
[09:35] ---
    This is called sharing.
[09:37] ---
    Don't you also constantly show off
    the designer sweater
[09:40] ---
    that our daughter bought you?
[09:42] ---
    How is that the same?
[09:44] ---
    I'm just showing it off
    in our small neighborhood.
[09:51] ---
    To deprive a person of their life
[09:53] ---
    is to destroy the happiness
    of so many more.
[09:55] ---
    These innocent victims
    are suffering so much
[09:58] ---
    because of you!
[10:12] ---
    I'm just interested in you.
[10:16] ---
    Whether those other people live well
    or not has nothing to do with me.
[10:20] ---
    So it really is you!
[10:22] ---
    You're wrong.
[10:27] ---
    I'm not the one who wanted to kill them.
[10:30] ---
    I'm just an agent.
[10:32] ---
    What do you mean?
[10:37] ---
    I was the one
    who killed those people.
[10:42] ---
    Why would you do that?
[10:44] ---
    Hatred?
[10:46] ---
    Jealousy?
[10:47] ---
    Or maybe anger?
[10:50] ---
    Whatever.
[10:51] ---
    As long as I had fun.
[10:53] ---
    Besides, there's no one in this world
    that can catch me.
[10:58] ---
    Why should I care?
[11:01] ---
    Is that so?
[11:02] ---
    He admitted to it--arrest him!
[11:07] ---
    Liu Min!
[11:10] ---
    It's you after all!
[11:12] ---
    Good job.
[11:14] ---
    You made me admire you even more.
[11:15] ---
    Stop moving!
[11:20] ---
    We'll meet again.
[11:23] ---
    When that time comes,
    make sure you don't cheat again.
[11:44] ---
    Stand properly!
[11:45] ---
    It's too late to pretend to be crippled!
[11:47] ---
    Get up and walk yourself!
[11:54] ---
    Even though you guys caught him,
    methods like this aren't encouraged.
[11:58] ---
    In the future, you have to let us know
    as soon as possible.
[11:59] ---
    Oh, I'm sorry.
[12:01] ---
    We only just realized that
    he might come and cause trouble,
[12:04] ---
    so we took some temporary measures.
[12:06] ---
    We sent officers to search
    Liu Min's other residences,
[12:09] ---
    and we found Xu Shanshan
    in the garage of one of his villas.
[12:12] ---
    --She's not hurt,
    just a little frightened.
    --Cheng Xiaoshi, Lu Guang!
[12:15] ---
    Are you all right?
[12:17] ---
    Yes, we're fine.
[12:18] ---
    They've found Shanshan, too.
[12:20] ---
    I'll tell you the details
    of the situation later.
[12:23] ---
    This Lu Guang seems
    too mature to be a kid.
[12:27] ---
    Officer Chen, I hope you can
    help me with something.
[12:31] ---
    I can't take my mind off Emma's case.
[12:33] ---
    If it's possible, can I...
[12:40] ---
    Liu Min, don't pretend to be dumb.
[12:45] ---
    We could clearly hear
    everything you said just now
[12:46] ---
    from outside the door.
[12:49] ---
    Sir,
[12:51] ---
    I really don't remember anything.
[12:53] ---
    Who did you ask?
[12:55] ---
    We found Xu Shanshan in your garage,
[12:58] ---
    yet you still deny
    being the serial killer?
[13:01] ---
    What if I told you
[13:03] ---
    that my friend was the one
    who did all of this,
[13:06] ---
    would you believe me?
[13:07] ---
    What? You have an accomplice?
[13:10] ---
    All right then.
[13:12] ---
    In chronological order of the crimes,
    tell us everything--
[13:15] ---
    everything you know.
[13:22] ---
    I remember this bitch clearly.
[13:29] ---
    That's more or less what happened.
[13:31] ---
    Cheng Xiaoshi planned the arrest.
[13:34] ---
    Oh wow, Cheng Xiaoshi,
[13:36] ---
    I never knew you could be
    reliable as well.
[13:39] ---
    Huh?
[13:40] ---
    It's no big deal.
[13:42] ---
    Are you okay?
[13:44] ---
    Your mind is somewhere else.
[13:47] ---
    Something's still troubling me
    and I can't find the answer.
[13:50] ---
    It's Liu Min's alibi
    in Emma's case.
[13:54] ---
    If that's the case,
[13:55] ---
    is Emma's murderer someone else?
[14:02] ---
    This is a surveillance photo
    of Wu Lihua before her death,
[14:05] ---
    remember not to share it with anyone else.
[14:09] ---
    I requested Emma's surveillance
    photos from Officer Chen.
[14:11] ---
    Lu Guang, take a look.
[14:12] ---
    See if you can find any clues.
[14:21] ---
    This Emma person worked in
    our company's finance department.
[14:24] ---
    She was new, yet it wasn't long before
[14:25] ---
    she was promoted to become
    the CFO's assistant.
[14:29] ---
    Mr. Liu, what are you doing?
[14:31] ---
    Open the door! I want to get off!
[14:34] ---
    Get off?
[14:36] ---
    Are you trying to run away with the money?
[14:39] ---
    I suspected that she took my money
    while Old Man Zhu was being arrested.
[14:42] ---
    I just wanted to scare her a little,
[14:45] ---
    but unfortunately...
[14:48] ---
    You people at the bottom of the society,
    why do you always give me trouble?
[14:51] ---
    You live like dogs,
[14:53] ---
    yet online, you slander me,
[14:55] ---
    criticize me!
[14:56] ---
    And after all that,
    you still covet my money!
[14:59] ---
    Die, die!
[15:01] ---
    All of you must die!
[15:06] ---
    At the time, I was terrified.
[15:07] ---
    I thought I had accidentally
    killed someone,
[15:09] ---
    and there was even a witness.
[15:17] ---
    But there was no one in the trunk.
[15:21] ---
    I thought I had bumped into a ghost.
[15:24] ---
    Why does it sound like
    you're trying to fool me?
[15:28] ---
    So how did Wu Lihua die in the end?
[15:30] ---
    I got back in the car in a hurry,
[15:32] ---
    I wanted to send the woman
    to the hospital, but...
[15:44] ---
    Ghost!
[15:49] ---
    There's only one camera
    on the abandoned bridge,
[15:51] ---
    and the field of vision is too small.
[15:53] ---
    All I can see...
[15:56] ---
    ...is a pretty injured Emma.
[15:58] ---
    I thought she had turned into a zombie,
[16:00] ---
    I was too afraid to even
    grip the steering wheel.
[16:03] ---
    That bitch even lunged at me.
[16:06] ---
    Let me get off!
[16:07] ---
    --Go away!
    --Let me get off!
[16:17] ---
    That's how I crashed the car,
    and then I passed out.
[16:21] ---
    This leg is also thanks to her.
[16:25] ---
    Lu Guang, let me dive into
    the photo and check it out.
[16:28] ---
    The truth may not give you
    a satisfactory answer.
[16:31] ---
    Let me witness it personally this time.
[16:34] ---
    But Emma's fate
    changed because of me.
[16:36] ---
    That's why I'll try again
    no matter what happens.
[17:10] ---
    You bitch, I'll make you pay.
[17:15] ---
    I'll kill your whole family!
[17:59] ---
    What's so great about this shoe?
[18:02] ---
    What do you know?
[18:03] ---
    This is fashion.
[18:05] ---
    So fashion is basically a comparison
    of whose is more expensive.
[18:11] ---
    When I grow up and work in the city,
[18:14] ---
    I'll dress you guys up
[18:15] ---
    in the most fashionable
    clothing from head to toe.
[18:22] ---
    Our Lihua is currently working as an
    executive at that Haode Games company!
[18:26] ---
    Dad, it's Quede Games.
[18:29] ---
    Oh, it's the same.
[18:29] ---
    Besides, it's just the CFO's assistant.
[18:33] ---
    Listen to that.
[18:34] ---
    It's "Chief,"
[18:36] ---
    and in charge of finance!
[18:38] ---
    When she was young,
[18:39] ---
    she always said
[18:41] ---
    she would go to the city
    and make money for us to spend.
[18:43] ---
    Haha, look at her now,
    she's doing pretty well.
[18:59] ---
    My dear daughter,
    you're doing well.
[19:06] ---
    Emma,
[19:07] ---
    this toast is to you.
[19:08] ---
    Uh, Mr. Zhu,
[19:09] ---
    I don't know how to drink.
[19:13] ---
    Is drinking something you need to learn?
[19:15] ---
    Exactly. Who needs to learn to drink?
[19:16] ---
    Just drink it then you'll know how to.
[19:18] ---
    Mr. Zhu's hand is getting tired.
[19:21] ---
    Drink!
[19:22] ---
    Drink!
[19:23] ---
    Drink!
[19:24] ---
    Drink!
[19:25] ---
    Drink!
[19:26] ---
    Drink!
[19:27] ---
    Drink!
[19:28] ---
    You got promoted.
[19:29] ---
    Shouldn't you at least
    have a toast as gratitude?
[19:36] ---
    Thank you, Mr. Zhu.
[19:37] ---
    Wow!
[19:38] ---
    Great!
[19:41] ---
    People who can drink
    can really drink, right?
[19:47] ---
    One more drink!
[19:48] ---
    One more drink!
[19:50] ---
    My dear daughter,
    how are you lately?
[19:57] ---
    That's enough now,
    she's busy,
[20:00] ---
    don't keep disturbing her all the time.
[20:06] ---
    I'm afraid of disturbing her,
[20:08] ---
    that's why I've been
    texting her so little.
[20:46] ---
    Emma!
[21:00] ---
    Who are you?
[21:04] ---
    I'm sorry.
[21:07] ---
    Your misfortune tonight
    is all because of me.
[21:11] ---
    Someone once warned me
    that I cannot change the past,
[21:15] ---
    but I didn't listen.
[21:17] ---
    I thought replying to your
    mother's text on behalf of you
[21:20] ---
    would make all of you happier.
[21:26] ---
    You sent that message on behalf of me?
[21:30] ---
    How is that possible?
[21:33] ---
    Who exactly are you?
[21:35] ---
    My name is Cheng Xiaoshi.
[21:37] ---
    I have the ability to dive back
    into the past through photos.
[21:40] ---
    I've returned to this moment
    to make up for my mistakes.
[21:46] ---
    If that's true,
[21:49] ---
    can you help me return to the beginning...
[21:56] ---
    ...and start all over?
[21:59] ---
    Mr. Zhu,
[22:01] ---
    why are there two sets of accounts?
[22:04] ---
    And also,
[22:05] ---
    in the other set of accounts,
[22:06] ---
    the depreciation of fixed assets
    is ridiculously high.
[22:10] ---
    Emma,
[22:12] ---
    you learn very quickly,
    and you're very detailed.
[22:14] ---
    But you don't have enough
    experience in the real world.
[22:18] ---
    Some accounts can't be calculated
    clearly just by studying.
[22:22] ---
    But this is obviously
    creating false accounts.
[22:25] ---
    If we were to be discovered, we would...
[22:27] ---
    Go to jail?
[22:29] ---
    Does a son need to go to jail
    for stealing his father's money?
[22:32] ---
    Liu Min has been financially cut off
    by his father a long time ago.
[22:36] ---
    He wanted me to get him
    some pocket money from his father.
[22:41] ---
    I can do someone a favor,
[22:43] ---
    and collect some levy as well,
[22:44] ---
    why not?
[22:47] ---
    And besides,
    this is their family matter,
[22:50] ---
    the law can't do anything about it.
[22:52] ---
    You've been working so hard recently.
[22:55] ---
    This is an advance bonus for you.
[22:58] ---
    You should save up some money,
[23:01] ---
    buy a house in the city,
[23:03] ---
    and bring your family here soon.
[23:07] ---
    I want to go back in time,
[23:09] ---
    return that dirty money,
[23:12] ---
    and reject Zhu's harassment.
[23:15] ---
    I want to start a new life!
[23:39] ---
    I've experienced many different lives,
[23:42] ---
    but there's always something
    I regret in almost every life.
[23:45] ---
    To expand influence,
[23:47] ---
    to allow my brand name
    to be used everywhere,
[23:50] ---
    the noodle business
    no longer belongs to me.
[23:56] ---
    I can't let it go.
[23:58] ---
    I really can't.
[24:01] ---
    Ok, pinky promise!
[24:05] ---
    It's daddy's fault...
[24:07] ---
    It's daddy's fault...
[24:08] ---
    Come back to me...
[24:11] ---
    And every time,
[24:13] ---
    no matter how hard I try...
[24:15] ---
    ...there's no guarantee
    I can get a perfect ending.
[24:28] ---
    Maybe I can't give you a perfect past,
[24:32] ---
    but I can't let you miss out
    on a better future.
[24:35] ---
    Future?
[24:37] ---
    What future do I have left?
[24:39] ---
    This is what I've learned
[24:41] ---
    from all the people that are
    trying their best to live.
[24:45] ---
    Some people persevere
    their whole life for love.
[24:49] ---
    Ou Yang, I've come to marry you!
[24:54] ---
    Lin Zhen.
[24:55] ---
    Some people get lost
    before finding themselves again.
[25:00] ---
    Welcome back.
[25:03] ---
    As long as mom is here,
    you'll be just fine.
[25:09] ---
    Some people have taught me
    what it is to be a parent.
[25:13] ---
    As long as you keep looking...
    and keep looking...
[25:16] ---
    ...for ten years,
    20 years, or even more...
[25:20] ---
    You'll final get the answer
    you've longed for.
[25:25] ---
    And some people...
[25:38] ---
    ...have finally gotten their answer.
[25:43] ---
    I believe
[25:45] ---
    everyone has a reason
    to try their best to live.
[25:53] ---
    Even though there are times
    when we find ourselves in the darkness...
[26:12] ---
    ...eventually, we will meet people
    who will shine their light on us.
[26:34] ---
    Captain Xiao, how is it?
[26:36] ---
    Has he told you everything?
[26:37] ---
    He kept going on and on
    about how his friend was the culprit,
[26:40] ---
    and none of this has anything
    to do with him.
[26:43] ---
    Does he have schizophrenia?
[26:44] ---
    Or Multiple Personality Disorder?
[26:46] ---
    Maybe he mistook one of his
    other personalities to be his friend?
[26:50] ---
    Impossible.
[26:51] ---
    The doctor has issued a statement
    proving that he's mentally sound.
[26:56] ---
    Hey, speaking of doctor's statement,
[26:58] ---
    shouldn't he be paralyzed?
[27:01] ---
    Then, how did he run into
    the photo studio?
[27:04] ---
    My friend,
[27:06] ---
    come quickly!
[27:08] ---
    Come and help me kill
    all these annoying insects!
[27:25] ---
    How is this possible?
[27:27] ---
    Death is a major node
    that cannot be changed.
[27:29] ---
    Hmm?
[27:30] ---
    Are you talking to Cheng Xiaoshi?
[27:36] ---
    Didn't you say that
    nothing in this world is absolute?
[27:50] ---
    I didn't realize
    there was a witness.
[27:54] ---
    Interesting.
[27:56] ---
    This voice...
[27:57] ---
    Unless,
[27:58] ---
    Liu Min is just a puppet,
[28:00] ---
    and the real culprit is someone else!
[28:02] ---
    We have to shoot the photos well,
[28:03] ---
    and let everybody in school notice us.
[28:06] ---
    No problem, Captain.
[28:08] ---
    I'm a professional.
[28:15] ---
    Why are my glasses making things worse?
[28:23] ---
    My son had an accident not long ago,
    and was paralyzed.
[28:27] ---
    He couldn't have committed the crime!
[28:40] ---
    Could it be...
[28:43] ---
    Are you his friend?
[28:46] ---
    You're someone...
[28:47] ---
    ...with the ability to possess spirits.
[28:49] ---
    Emma!
[29:22] ---
    Qiao Ling!
[29:28] ---
    This is your punishment for
    breaking the rules of the game.
[29:33] ---
    Who the heck are you?
[29:37] ---
    Now, the game has been reset.
