Episode synopsis
At the wedding ceremony, CHARLTON suddenly has a heart attack and passes out, which terrifies everyone at the scene. In view of this, NGO-SHAN orders the gunman to abort the assassination of YAT-YIN. LEUNG SUM suffers severe injuries as a result of the attack, lapsing into a coma. After regaining her consciousness, she blurts out towards KAM WAH that she knows who is the culprit. She then discusses with KAM WAH and concludes that NGO-SHAN might harm YING-YUET. In order to help YING-YUET run away, KAM WAH deliberately denounces NGO-SHAN's crimes one by one, which is overheard by WAN-FONG, who happens to pass by the front entrance. Though YAT-YIN is despised by the people in the neighbourhood after the serialized fiction depicts YAT-YIN as a two-timer, KAM WAH still hands him the address showing where LEUNG SUM is hiding, urging him to bring along some food and pay a visit to LEUNG SUM……
About Momentary Lapse Of Reason
Gam Wah appears to be a cop who can easily betray his own dignity and accept bribes. While investigating a human trafficking case, he meets Leung Sam, a woman who has taken a vow of celibacy. Leung Sam and her friend, Fa Ying Yuet, had been kidnapped when they were young, thus, they hate human traffickers. They equally hate corrupt public servants, with the exception of Gam Wah's colleague, Sum Yat Yin, whose upright and honest character catches Leung Sam's eye and she even falls in love with him. Gam Wah and Sum Yat Yin are initially polar opposites, but after Gam Wah's acceptance of a bribe causes the death of a witness, it starts to touch his conscience. However, at the time, the police and the underworld each had their own unbreakable, unwritten laws. Sum Yat Yin is demoted amidst the power struggle of businessman and detective. It puts his relationship with Leung Sam to the test. Seeing all of this, Gam Wah's heart aches, but all he can do is stay silently by Leung Sam's side and secretly hope that he can make up for his past mistakes.
