As Brendan Fraser once stated, “I guess darkness serves as a purpose: to show us that there is redemption through chaos. I believe in that,” there is the present concept of redemption. Redemption, without a doubt, is denoted as the restorative or revengeful state of being at the end of a linear sequence.

Rather than acting typically, the police officer and his workmate randomly arrests Mr. Chiu for claiming that they did it. Redemption, again, is not a product of a formula, more or less a state that is incited by a prior event. Mr. Chiu’s irritability is catalyzed when he is subject to unfair treatment. Redemption is achieved after a timeline of events. It starts with a catalyst, then followed by an expression of
