Catch Me Now Episode 2

Episode 2 of Catch Me Now wasn't that exciting. It was mainly focus on Idy's divorce and the further introduction of a few other characters in this series. Joe's hunt for his mentor's murderer and for Damian's team starts in this episode as well. Overall, I was not pleased the way they introduced Sharon's character as I expected an explosive entrance by her but it was just a shared scene of her eating with her family members. Fala's character is so similar to her character in AJCL. It's like watching Vicky act in Catch Me Now. Not much difference. Oh gosh.

Idy rushes off to her husband's house to demand to see her son and ends up climbing the gate.

Her husband tells her that she doesn't stand a chance of beating him in the case. Damian arrives and tells her that although she can't beat the case, she can beat something else. Idy then gives her husband a tight slap across his face. I think Idy has a weird voice like she has lost it or something and sometimes her scenes are dubbed. Hmmm..

Damian visits his lawyer friend onboard his Casino Ship and gives him a list of charity organisations to donate the money from the previous mission too. They watch a piece of news that shows Evergreen and his father donating some money to a charity as well. Damian recaps how he had turned Evergreen's dad from a bad person to the charitable person he is today.

However, Evergreen turns out to be a evil fella. He plays a card game with the drug dealer from the previous mission. If you guys remember, the money was actually banked into the dealer's account but was taken out by Damian unknowingly. Therefore, Evergreen had to pay him again.

Evergreen is furious over this issue and goes into the restroom and starts smashing things. He receives a glass of brandy from somebody who wrote a message under the coaster, "The good will be rewarded". It's quite obvious for us that it was Damian that wrote it.

This scene introduces Fala. She works in a bank and was on her way off work when Joe appears to take her to dinner.

This scene introduces Sharon as Joe's younger sister. The family is dining at a restaurant and it sorts of describes the family's justice league. Joe's dad used to be in the army, Joe's a policeman while Sharon works in a security company. Sharon's lamb chop is served with only mostly the bones and she demands compensation from the manager. Kinda shows her character is very upright and principled.

The family realises that Joe has been transfered to another department and are excited that they can finally buy their dream house!

The family then visits this big house that has settles all the qualities they were looking for only to realise that Joe was only transfered to a new department but not promoted thus there wasn't a raise in his salary to their disappointment. Awwww..

They start complaining in the cafe that it was such a pity to lose the house and realise they had already paid a deposit for the house! The agent refused to return the deposit and Joe turns up to pay the other instalments as he realised that his family really love the house. Aww.. What a great guy! I like the chemistry between their family. Very close knitted and comfortable.

Fala tells Joe that she will try to save on buying her handbags and accessories in future. Kinda sounds like a repeat from her character in AJCL. Joe & Damian meet officially for the first time when Damian almost knocks Joe down with his bike.

Dickson Lee plays Yau Dai Hoi, a CID part of Joe's team.

Aimee Chan plays Nana also a CID on Joe's team. She's pretty green in the acting industry so we'll just see.

Joe re-opens his mentor's murder case and his subordinate how he had witness the 5 robbers shoot his mentor, killing him on the spot. Hmm.. 5 robbers? Could it be Damian's team? Hoepfully it isn't them. Quite unexpected that they would murder and kill people. Joe looks at the evidence and realises there is something he has seen before- the toy.

A few days ago, he had found another similar toy in the evidence of the first mission. In actual fact, both toys are suspected to be Johnson's. Hmm.. It's quite questionable that he would drop such similar items during two missions.

The family has dinner at Damian's restaurant. Sharon turns up late as she has gone to meet a buyer to get a collection toy. She explains that any collector would only feel at ease after they have collected the full set. Joe then sets a trap to lure Damian's team out.
___________________________________________________

Damian overhears the conversation and tries to figure out what Joe's plan is. He then realises that Johnson had fallen for Joe's trap. He calls Koni to help him to stop Johnson.

The plan: Joe and his team had found a tape recording of the one of the robbers's voice. He plans to lure the robber out with a tongue twister competition to be able to record and match people's voices and offers the collector's toy as a reward hoping to lure him out.
Hmm.. I find that this plan was not that perfect. There were 5 robbers that day however, one of them dropped a toy while one of them had his voice accidentally recorded. How sure was Joe that the robber who dropped the toy was the one who spoke? Food for thought.

Damian realises it was too late to save Johnson and ask Koni to "Destroy the body". Koni then grabs a child and fires. We see Johnson in a painful expression in the last screencap. Wonder what she shot? Stay tune. =)
