Synopsis: International Security Affairs agent Jon is on a dangerous mission to escort a criminal scientist to another country. En route, a member of his team, Sean, turns out to be a traitor and shoots Jon in the head while kidnapping the scientist. When Jon wakes up in the hospital, a doctor tells him that within weeks, the bullet in his brain will cause complete paralysis. Jon returns to Beijing to see his mother, who confesses that Jon has a brother in Malaysia who was raised by his father, a gambler. Jon takes a flight to Malaysia to find his brother, Yeung. On the plane he forms a bond with Dr. Kan, who promises to look into possible treatments for his condition. However, when they arrive, Yeung tries to kidnap the doctor and when Jon intervenes, he's also taken hostage. The two soon realize they're brothers, and decide to work together in order to keep the criminals behind the kidnappings from reinfecting the world of a disease long thought cured.

to your entire nervous system.

Your body will gradually lose the natural

sensations it should have,

and as your case gets worse,

you will completely be paralysed.

How much longer do I have?

Well, at this stage you have about two weeks.

But we know you're not supposed

to leave the hospital

because without the immediate medical

attention a hospital can give you,

you will be at a greater risk.

Ice's ashes... have been sent back.

What happened between her and I...

Sorry.

I don't want to waste my time here.

I want to go home.

Mrs. Wan has been so worried

about you these months

that her sciatica has worsened.

Nurse Wang

In two weeks,

I will be leaving on a long trip.

But you've just come home.

Yes. I'll keep more money with you.

Please continue to take care of my mother.

Don't worry. I'll stay and take care of her.

I didn't cook well today.

Mom's cooking always tastes so good.

What are you worried about?

I've recovered.

I'm on leave, so I can be with you every day.

Eat the food you cook.

To miss someone...

is a very painful thing.

Those months while you were in the hospital,

I had the same dream almost every night.

Our whole family was at sea...

One by one you'd disappear

until only I was left.

Jon,

I have to tell you this.

I've always told you your father abandoned us

but the one who gave up on this family...

was me.

You're not my only son.

You have an elder brother.

I married your father when I was 20.

We enjoyed life.

I never thought about the future

until I gave birth to you two boys.

but your father didn't.

He only cared about gambling.

He lost his job because of it

but he just gambled more.

When you were 2

I thought I'd bring you both with me

then make other plans,

but I didn't count on

your brother grasping my hand, crying and

refusing to let us go.

I was desperate; afraid your father

would come home.

In the end,

I carried you and left

and locked him in at home.

When I was downstairs I heard him

crying and screaming

"Mom! Don't go!"

Mom...

Don't be sad. It's in the past.

I've carried this guilt

for over twenty years.

Jon

I finally got news of them.

I was thinking of how

to get in touch with them.

But with your injury,

I was so afraid to lose...

I'll bring them back.

Okay?

The numerous crimes the Defendant

has committed over the years

indicates that...

he is a danger to society and its people.

Defendant Man Yeung,

On the charge of armed robbery of

the Black Pearl Jewelry Shop

on February 5th, 2008,

I find you guilty and sentence you

to ten years' imprisonment.

In addition, for resisting arrest

and attacking a police officer

on November 1st, 2010,

three years' imprisonment;
