TVB Eye in the Sky Episode Thoughts (Episode 2)

This episode wasn't as eventful as episode 1 but nevertheless still an enjoyable episode with the appearance of Ruco Chan.



First scene was Sitou Sir and Scarlett (portrayed by Lin Xia Wei) who went to the crime scene and tried to find evidence to prove that Sitou Sir was innocent as in he didn't cause a fire and hurt a security guard. Frankly I couldn't remember much from this scene so let's jump ahead to the trial court scene.

Inside the court room, there enters Jenny (Tavia Yeung) along with her detective buddy to see if Sitou Sir would be found guilty or not. First witness from the prosecution was Fan Fei (the security guard who got injured).

Pause. Can you see the pattern of the Fan something from Jonathan Cheung's role? I find this rather quirky and funny. From Fan Gan in TVB's Three Kingdom to other Fans in other series (Coffee Cat Mama, etc).

Continue. Everything seems to point to Sitou Sir has guilty (since security guard said he was sure that it was him who tried to create a fire and then Sitou Sir himself proclaimed he has no alibi). All of a sudden we have Cecilia (who was a former actress) (portrayed by Jade Leung) being a witness to prove Sitou Sir innocent. This was basically what she said: "I can prove Sitou Sir innocent. The other night he came over to my house and stayed there for the night. Sitou said he has no alibi because he wants to protect my image and reputation. The truth was I found out that my husband cheated on me and I became depressed. Sad and lonely, I got addicted to drugs and it was Sitou Sir who tried all methods to stop me from taking drugs - such as threatening drug dealers to not offer her drugs. The three hundred thousand cash was actually Sitou Sir helping me to give money to the mistress and tell her to stay away from my husband." With Cecilia's account of the story, it influenced the jury decision of 5 over 2 favouring him to be held not guilty.  

Pause. Sitou Sir is now even a selfless and considerate person. He cares about his old classmate (Cecilia) and would rather protect her image than protect him away from jail. Kevin Cheng made the right expression with the "no don't say it" look he gave to Cecilia but she said it anyway. Jade Leung was also competent. She convinced me as somebody looking like a celebrity but saddened with life.

Moving on, Denise (sorry I meant Madam Chik - that actress reminded me of Denise from Black Heart White Soul because she looks the same and speaks the same tone) informed Sitou Sir to be transferred to another police department since it is too sensitive for him to stay in CIB. Sitou Sir said no I will not transfer and then Madam Chik said "It's better for you to go to a new environment" and then Sitou Sir said "Fine. I quit" and off he leaves the room. Madam Chik comes out and says "Why are you quitting? It's not like you're leaving us forever. We will eventually get you back to the CIB department". Sitou Sir then said, "Who trusts me that I am innocent? Even though I was found to be not guilty everyone still thinks it was me. I will come back once I find evidence that I am not guilty. I will be back." and off he goes.

Serious stuff aside and there we have Detective George trying to find an ad and he gets grumpy how everyone is not focused. Jenny drops the mic on his head (it was funny) and everyone else was part of the clip when they're not supposed to as Detective George said, "I want everyone to know me so I can be part of the ad, but you guys will need to be in detective operations so no good to get public exposure".

Pause. Detective George is still the funniest character so far. I laughed when he yelled at Samantha Ko and the detective employee (still couldn't catch their names), "Why didn't you get a shot of all the Benz cars? I want it to be seem like I own all of those cars. Such a 'benz brake'" - which phonetically sounds like "办事不力- can't do anything well" and I laughed.

With the ad filming a failure they head off to Yumcha and someone meets Detective George. Detective George's friend recommends his son to date Jenny but Jenny rejected him and kissed Samantha Ko on the lips and says. "No I am a lesbian I don't like guys, whether fat, skinny, short or whatever" and leaves off. As Jenny walks around the streets she sees Sitou Sir and tries to avoid him since she thinks she looks scruffy. As she finds him again in the lift Jenny stares at him and says, "No long no see". Sitou Sir then says, "Have we met?" and Jenny slaps him - feeling disgusted how someone she made love with 18 months again didn't even recognise her.

Pause. Another rather funny scene but this means something shocking. Does that mean that the "Sitou Sir" she made love with was actually the twin brother and not the real Sitou Sir?????????? That is of course unless Sitou Sir actually has poor memory skills but no I think it was the twin brother.  So does that mean fake Sitou Sir is the flirtatious mean and the real Sitou is the so-so-ku one? Confusing indeed.

Anyway when Jenny slapped Sitou Sir the people in the lift reacted "Did he sexually harass you" and Sitou Sir said "Of course not, just look at the CCTV if you don't believe me". Next minute Ruco Chan sees a guy up-skirting a girl and yells "Hey someone's up-skirting, you stay there!" and along with Sitou Sir they come running for the creep. Like always, Sitou Sir catches the guy easily.

Pause. There was a very funny line in this scene where a person from the lift said, "A creep catching a creep" (referring to Sitou Sir who they thought sexually harassed Jenny).

Anyway we get to see that after 18 months Sitou Sir is now a security manager at a high class hotel. He watches in CCTV when a customer asks "Do you guys allow pets to stay in the hotel?" and the hotel operating manager said "Yes we do". Then the hotel guests then goes great and says "Can you guys also look after my pet? I want someone to look after my Sisi" and the operation manager goes "Yes we can take care of animals for you". But she yells when she finds out it was a snake! Sitou Sir diffuses the situation by analysing the pet snake and saying "although by the looks of it it seems to be poisonous, it's just a harmless snake".

Pause. Sitou Sir so pro.

Continue. All seems well when suddenly hotel guests complain about someone (or something) urinating in the swimming pool area. After analysing the CCTV, they saw a suspicious lady carrying a pet dog leaving the pool and then people realise there is urine, suspecting that it is her dog that urinated in the pool. Sitou Sir however says, "Just because she left the pool with a dog doesn't mean the truth is that her dog urinated. We can't let this be evidence and kick her out" but a security guard urges him to kick her out.

This time Sitou sets up a trap for the security guard where he spills urine with a water gun to frame the hotel guest for insulting him. The security guard gets caught and he gets fired.

Pause. Sitou Sir is so so pro. Before it seems like there's nobody that he can't catch and now this time there's nothing he can't solve. The only thing of course is that he can't find evidence to prove himself as innocent.

Continue. With the security guard hired it conveniently leads to an application process for applicants wanting to be security guards, with Ruco Chan and Fan Fei as the applicants. Fan Fei tries to bribe the hotel boss or senior manager by giving him a present hoping he can be hired as a security guard while Ruco? He uses his observant skills to catch someone trying to steal a phone from someone when it was really a test by Sitou Sir to see who has good skills to become a security guard. The hotel manager is unconvinced Ruco is a good fit and urges for round two.

Round two - the amazing race. The first two persons who arrive within 30 minutes and walks around 48 levels of stairs will get the job. Ruco Chan was the fast and could of made it in 15 minutes but Fan Fei tricked him by pretending to be injured. Ruco rushed to help him and piggy backed him until around level 45. Fan Fei says "ok I'm good now" and gets there faster than Ruco.

Pause. How dumb for Fan Fei to do that. They said that the first "two" people get the job. If he got Ruco to piggy back him then others could of caught up quickly. Why can't you just leave Ruco to get there first and then be the second one? Doesn't make much sense.

As always, Sitou Sir could tell that Ruco came second only because of helping Fan Fei and he asked, "Why did you not report him for faking an injury?" and then Ruco asked a question, "Has someone ever asked you for money? I would always give people money when they ask for it. This is because if I get lied I only lose a few bucks, but when someone really needs the money I can help them. The benefits over-weigh the costs."

End. Not a bad episode because we finally get to see Ruco who never disappoints when it comes to acting. In all series he acts out a role without seeming like he tried hard to act the but then Kevin Cheng seems like he tried hard to act in the role and his acting is far from perfect. In this episode Tavia doesn't have much to do so no comment. So far I find Sitou Sir and Ruco Chan (need to catch his name) both considerate, both observant and both caring people. Could it mean that Ruco Chan is actually the twin brother (as said by some netizens)? Maybe.
