***Catch Me Now*** (Traditional Chinese: [原來愛上賊](https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%8E%9F%E4%BE%86%E6%84%9B%E4%B8%8A%E8%B3%8A)) is a [TVB](/source/TVB) modern action series broadcast in April [2008](/source/List_of_TVB_series_(2008)).

## Synopsis

Ko Chit ([Damian Lau](/source/Damian_Lau)) lost his parents in an accidental fire during his teenage years, mourning with resignation until he discovers the fire was caused by a wealthy businessman's greed. This incident changes his entire belief system and morals. Ko Chit threatens the businessman by robbing a large sum of his money (and subsequently donating it to various charities) and pretending to murder his son in front of him, warning the businessman to do better because he will always be watching.

Years later, Ko Chit has become a criminal mastermind, forming a group of modern-day [Robin Hoods](/source/Robin_Hood) consisting of four other members:

- Tam Bun / Ben / BT ([Johnson Lee](/source/Johnson_Lee)): BT is Ko Chit's younger cousin and an excellent hacker. He was kicked out of a prestigious university for hacking the school system.

- Kwan Yan / Keyman ([Wilson Tsui](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wilson_Tsui&action=edit&redlink=1)): Keyman is the locksmith and bomb-maker of the group. Ko Chit previously hired him to fix a lock, but Ko Chit also saved his life by offering a chance to make more money with him so Keyman wouldn't commit suicide due to financial struggles. He's married but his wife's family didn't think highly of him as a locksmith until he started bringing in money from the thieving jobs.

- Che Hei Sin / Hau Lo ([Eric Li](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eric_Li_(actor)&action=edit&redlink=1)): Hau Lo is the getaway driver. As a teen, he participated in gang activities and stole and raced cars for fun. One day, Hau Lo stole Ko Chit's car and could've escaped but instead swerved and crashed to avoid hitting a pedestrian. Sensing compassion and needing a getaway driver, Ko Chit led him out of the gang life and invited him to join his group.

- Wong Ming Cheung / Cheung Geuk Hai or "Long-Legged Crab" ([Koni Lui](/source/Koni_Lui)): Cheung Geuk Hai is the gunner. Born in the Middle East, she was around guns all the time and knows her way around them. After moving to Hong Kong as an aspiring actress, she had trouble scoring major roles in the entertainment industry. After rejecting a director's sexual advances, she was targeted by gang members sent by the director but saved by Ko Chit. Her nickname comes from her long legs.

With their group working together like a well-oiled machine, they've successfully robbed millions with still millions donated to charities anonymously through Ko Chit's lawyer and friend, Charles Fan (Joseph Lee).

Unfortunately, things start to get complicated when they cross paths with CID Senior Inspector Kong Yeung ([Joe Ma](/source/Joe_Ma_(actor))), leading to a battle of wits. While Ko Chit has his eye set on stealing from Chiu Kwan-Ho ([Evergreen Mak](/source/Evergreen_Mak_Cheung-ching)), a greedy tycoon and drug dealer, Kong Yeung is also honing in on their identities. Things become more heated when Kong Yeung realizes that Ko Chit may have been responsible for his mentor's murder that took place five years ago, adding to his aggression for nailing Ko Chit. However, not everything can be seen as black and white...

## Alternate ending

According to the producer, the series originally had three different endings planned out, but the cast argued that the ending in which Ko Chit died would be the most memorable.[1] Thus, the official ending has Ko Chit shot by police in gun firing chaos.[2] However, as the audience wanted a perfect ending, TVB decided to create an [alternate ending](/source/Alternate_ending) which became available online at TVB.com five minutes after the original airing date and time of the last episode.[3]
