Lion Pride (2017–…): Season 1, Episode 13 - Episode #1.13 - full transcript
What a joke. He strangled
Kuan Ching-ching and she fainted.
This painting is a clue
Kuan Ching-ching left for you.
It looks like a bloodstain.
Lien Chong-yen is suspicious.
Right.
I keep forgetting to ask you.
How did someone as positive as you
end up falling in love
with a lone lion like me?
I liked you without your permission.
I'm so sorry, Teacher Chiang-ta.
You don't need to feel sorry about it.
But I think I actually liked you first.
Take a look.
We started from one when we met.
Now, neither one of us
can be without the other.
That "one" has become everything
between us.
I...
I'm not sure why I like you.
But...
I know that
you are the reason I can't possibly
love another person.
So the greatest luxury in the world
is finding your own heart smiling.
On the one-third piece
which Kuan Ching-ching stole
Lien Chong-yen's warehouse,
we found a set of blood DNA.
On the bloodstain,
we also found fingerprints.
As for other the fingerprints, I believe
they belong to Lien Chong-yen.
The painting belongs to him. It is
normal if his fingerprints are on it.
The key lies in the blood
and the report on the blood fingerprints.
We'll know it when the report is out.
If the bloodstain belongs
to the Wang family,
Lien Chong-yen could say
it was there when he bought the painting.
The court could only punish him
for keeping stolen goods.
But we have some problems now.
The unresolved case 23 years ago
has lost much of its evidence.
Some evidence has been destroyed.
I need to spend a long time
to build a DNA database
of the survivor of the Wang family.
We still have Wang Chiang-wei.
The forensic department may
cross-check the blood DNA on the painting
with the DNA of Wang Chiang-wei.
If both sets match,
that means the bloodstain
belongs to Chiang-wei's parents.
It's possible.
I'll leave it to you.
You're her boyfriend after all.
I admire you, Prosecutor Tieh.
But why was Chan Ting-hsuan
attacked? Who would do so?
What was the motive?
We still have no idea.
Medical report of Chan Ting-hsuan
showed that tap water was pumped into
his lungs, not Lantian river water.
Someone drowned him in tap water
before throwing him in the river.
So the suspect wanted to create a false
impression that he drowned in the river.
This was similar to
Kuan Ching-ching's case.
But who would want to do that?
Chan Ting-hsuan's
cervical vertebra was broken.
Someone fought with him with bare hands.
It could be a good martial art fighter
who was taller than Chan Ting-hsuan.
Mr. Chiang-ta, you are great.
Why don't you become a cop or prosecutor?
We could be able to resolve
many cases. What a waste.
A waste?
Fei, you still need a job, right?
Hello?
All right. Got it.
We've discovered the last person
who spoke to Chan Ting-hsuan.
I've had my tutorial school for years.
But I think the business
can't survive now.
If it is really tough,
you might as well close it.
Yeah. You may work as a Chinese teacher
at Li Ta-shih's tutorial class.
You want to become
their Math teacher, right?
I will follow Teacher Si-te.
She is my root.
Drink your coffee.
Boss, Mr. He is looking for you.
Hello, Mr. Yen.
Mr. Savior.
Mr. He introduced this to me.
Their program is well-designed.
It is convenient for students'
learning experience.
They can work on tests and assessments.
Test marks will be given.
And they can play games, too. It's good.
Through the cloud storage,
they may follow details
of teachers' classes.
-Really?
-Can you show us?
All right. I have an example.
Please take a look.
-When was this recorded?
-I asked Niu Niu to record it last week.
-There are gems and gold coins.
-Really?
I've only ever won sport cars.
These are some ideas
to encourage the students.
You are so considerate.
It's our duty to make learning
more interesting.
If they do a test with Hanlin Cloud Class,
they may play a tank game.
Students could study well
and nurture a sense of accomplishment.
It looks good.
-Not bad.
-Not bad.
We have to get Chiang-ta
and Chiang-wei back.
I would hug Chiang-ta if he comes around.
Wang Chiang-ta.
Previous top teacher.
-Current top teacher.
-Chiang-ta, perfect timing.
I need to talk to you.
-We also need to talk to you.
-We also need to talk to you.
-Well...
-Let's talk in your office.
-Please follow us.
-Please follow us.
Yes, please. Please wait for me.
Please come in.
Why did you make a trip all the way here?
What's the matter?
Give us your hands.
My hands.
-Great.
-Spectacular.
Hey. What is going on?
Old Yen, you're a suspect in the attempted
murder of Chan Ting-hsuan.
Please follow us.
You made a mistake. Chiang-ta,
would you speak up for me?
Old Yen, don't worry.
We'll talk in the station.
I...
-We'll have tea.
-Tea time. Let's go.
We have checked Chan Ting-hsuan's
phone records. He last contacted you.
What was it about?
He called me.
He was asking for my help.
He asked for your help?
Wasn't he hostile to you?
He wanted to bomb your tutorial school.
Old Yen, plan carefully
before you tell a lie.
Are you trying to cover up
your attempted murder?
I didn't kill him.
But you have sufficient motive.
It was not me. Had it been me,
why did I look for you in your office?
Did you come to my office? When was it?
Prosecutor Tieh, I need your help.
What's the matter?
Old Yen.
Chiang-ta, you are also here.
You weren't talking clearly that day.
It couldn't prove anything.
Speaking of motive, someone
has a stronger motive than I do.
-Who is it?
-Brother Sheng-li.
I think Boss Sheng-li
was trying to kill Chan Ting-hsuan.
I thought you said Ma-sha
was Boss Sheng-li and he was dead?
Old Yen, you lied before.
Ma-sha is not Boss Sheng-li.
That was somebody else.
Old Yen, you are in great trouble.
You gave a false statement.
I was forced.
Boss wants Chan and I
to collude our statements.
He didn't want himself to be exposed.
And he promised our safety.
He told us so.
Who is the boss?
Well...
Let me tell you. If you say nothing now,
you can hardly be cleared.
Tell us.
After the bombing incident,
the boss asked me to meet him.
It has been a long while.
Why did you want to meet me?
Don't call me Boss Sheng-li.
I fought very hard to achieve
what I have today.
I don't want you all to ruin it.
Let me make a deal with you.
What's the deal?
-Who is this?
-He was Ma-sha.
If the police ask you about the old case,
you may accuse him as the Boss Sheng-li
who planned everything.
Boss.
Why should I help you?
I'll pay you a large sum of money
to make up for your losses.
But if you do not cooperate...
Boss, it's clear.
I understand your instruction.
Boss Sheng-li is Lien Chong-yen.
Lien Chong-yen was involved
in the old case.
No wonder he had the painting
of the Wang family.
I agreed with Lien Chong-yen's deal.
We colluded our statements.
I received a large sum of money
to keep quiet.
Since Chan said Sheng-li was Ma-sha,
I think he got the same deal from Lien.
Let me ask you.
Why did Chan Ting-hsuan
look for you before he was attacked?
Didn't you say that Boss
fired a shot at my leg?
I will go and ask him.
But seeing how he sacrificed
long-time brothers
when this incident happened,
I know I could be doomed soon.
If something happens to me,
please disclose what I passed to you.
Chan Ting-hsuan
suspected that Lien Chong-yen shot him,
so he looked for him.
And he was murdered.
I am not the murderer.
When I came in, you took away an envelope.
That was likely to be conversation records
between Chan and Lien.
Chan Ting-hsuan wanted to use it
to protect himself. But he is now...
We need to investigate
the authenticity of your statement.
I will apply for your remand.
I can let you go only when new evidence
proves your innocence.
Old Yen, please be patient.
Yen Chang-tai, you have visitors.
Looking for me?
What are you two doing here? That's great.
We brought your favorite pork rib rice.
You two treat me well. Thank you.
You have no family and friends.
What will you do if we don't visit?
Old Yen.
-We know your personality.
-That's right.
You are really stingy. But if someone
accuses you of attempted murder,
that is hilarious.
So you came over to tease me?
I've been wronged.
How could I possibly murder someone?
Lien Chong-yen should be blamed.
Twenty years ago and up until now,
he gives me a lot of trouble.
-Old Yen.
-What?
You know my dad?
Did I mention about him?
What about 20 years ago and until now?
Did my dad set you up?
No.
I know so many people.
I have old friends and colleagues.
Their names and appearances
are all mixed together.
I don't know what I'm talking about.
Sir, may I have my lunch box?
I would like to have it.
All right. Visitor's time is up.
I will eat now. Please visit again.
Bye.
The snuff bottle...
was also a favorite collection of Po-i
My dad also liked this?
Mr. Chin,
is there a list of the antiques
that were stolen from my home?
There were records
for the expensive antiques.
But he did not keep records
for his favorite items.
I see.
Other than my dad's painting,
I have an ancient lion paperweight.
I feel like the sudden appearance of these
things is reminding me of something.
I always feel that there's more
to that fire back then.
There was no hidden agenda.
These matters faded away long ago.
There are old stories
behind antique items.
It is an affinity for one
to own these antique items.
You must also follow affinity when
working on antique authentication.
Don't turn yourself into an antique.
Got it.
Speaking of which,
Pu Hsin-yu's painting that was stolen
during Jiade Auction,
Chiang-ta found it now.
That was also your dad's
favorite collection.
Was it part of my dad's collection?
I mean, that your dad wanted
to collect it. Same as the snuff bottle.
He wanted to collect it.
It has an affinity with me.
Chiang-ta found it.
Fei, a duty for you.
We will now investigate
Lien Chong-yen as a suspect.
Check his car's travel record and GPS.
Let's see if we can find something.
Okay, Prosecutor Tieh, I will handle it.
See you, Mr. Chiang-ta.
Hsiao Tieh.
Lien Chong-yen is cunning.
He dodged the responsibilities
regarding the soy sauce factory.
Even if he was involved
in the attempted murder case,
he might be able to dodge it.
You'd better watch out.
Rich people call the shots.
I am really furious about this.
I previously mentioned to you
this guy taller than Chan Ting-hsuan,
and he could hit and kill opponents
with bare hands.
I think I know who he is.
Who is it?
Ah Bin, Lien Chong-yen's bodyguard.
Rings a bell?
That handsome guy?
I fought with him several times.
I know his style.
So? Do you admire his skills?
He looked for me at the university.
He asked for Kuan Ching-ching's painting.
That painting again?
What's happening to my dad?
He's involved in a murder case?
If you arrest Lien Chong-yen,
the old case that was dragged for 23 years
will get all its clues reconnected.
Unexpectedly, after reopening this case,
all relevant parties are people around us.
Putting those people together in one case,
the probability is quite low.
I also did not expect that these people
would be interconnected.
We are on the verge of discovering
who Chief is.
We are close to solving this problem now.
That's right.
Have you thought of this?
For you, this is a math problem.
For Si-te and Chiang-wei,
this is about what is right and wrong.
The truth is not as simple
as one straightforward answer.
Human life is about answering
the questions.
We can only solve them one by one.
I've spent 23 years on this question.
There is only one truth and answer.
But let me remind you.
Sometimes "no solution"
could also be an answer.
Got it.
You hid the truth for many years.
You were imprisoned.
You have a strong sense of loyalty.
But what happened to you now?
Are you happy with it now?
Chan Ting-hsuan is cruel.
Kuan Ching-ching stole Lien Chong-yen's
painting, and he killed her.
These people do not value
other people's lives.
Tell me.
You fell asleep
without taking off your glasses.
You'll catch a cold.
The forensic department may
cross-check the blood DNA on the painting
with the DNA of Wang Chiang-wei.
It's possible.
I'll leave it to you.
You're her boyfriend after all.
Big Cat, your acting too slowly.
I should get her back to the room.
The prince kisses the princess
before carrying her.
Hello?
Hey, don't go to sleep yet.
I'll discuss with you Ah Bin's matters.
All right. I'll wait for you.
Hsiao Tieh, buy me supper.
He hung up.
Hsiao Tieh doesn't buy supper lately.
He might have some financial problems.
Give me ten dollars.
Ten dollars?
Are you about to tell me
Dorothy's poor joke?
Not really.
I bought you a pair of shoes.
-Take a look.
-Shoes?
My birthday already passed.
Gifts are not limited to birthdays.
It was on sale so I bought it for you.
-This color...
-How is it? Looks good?
I have the same pair of shoes.
We may wear couple's shoes in the future.
It's too obvious if we wear
couple's clothes.
Couple's shoes.
It makes our Big Cat look cool.
And we can tell the world
that we are a couple.
Killing two birds with one stone, right?
I like the meaning behind these shoes.
I know you don't celebrate your birthday.
I also know you are a lone lion.
Our parents are dead.
But no worries.
We'll have each other from now on.
So you must treasure me.
I will treasure you, too.
As a matter of fact,
I had gotten used to being alone.
But since you appeared in my life.
I am only thinking about two matters.
First, to keep you by my side.
Second, to stay by your side.
Wang Chiang-ta, your favorite supper...
If this isn't a good time,
I may return after half an hour.
Ignoring me?
All right.
Showing love or having supper.
It's up to you.
I can eat and show love at the same time.
All right.
Tieh, let's eat together.
Sure.
What is peace of mind?
The answer is you.
LIEN CHONG-YEN POLITICAL CAMPAIGN OFFICE
The police are here on duty.
Give way.
Please cooperate with our search.
Search the computers.
-Search the documents.
-Let's go.
-Search that part.
-Please show me company details.
Thank you.
-Search with your eyes.
-You, come here!
-Open up.
-What's the matter?
Mr. Lien, we meet again.
Prosecutor Tieh.
What are you doing?
We will invite you to have
a cup of tea in our station.
He's quite fit.
Sorry, I brought you here
amid your busy schedule.
One question.
Where were you
when Chan Ting-hsuan was attacked?
I will not say anything
until my lawyer arrives.
Sure.
Detestable.
He is cunning and dodging
my interrogation.
Is there another way to deal with him?
Has this been estimated?
Not really.
I can talk to Ah Bin later today.
I have separated Lien Chong-yen
and Ah Bin.
They can never collude their statements.
All right.
Hsiao Tieh, hang on.
You'd better be careful.
Lien's lawyer could be colluding
with them to make false statements.
Prosecutor Tieh, the police investigated
Lien Chong-yen's car.
There were traces
of riverbank's mud on his tires
and Chan Ting-hsuan's hair in his trunk.
The GPS confirmed that Lien went
to the river where Chan was drowned.
Good job.
Furthermore,
we have the call logs between Chan
and Lien before the incident.
He incited Chan to kill Kuan Ching-ching.
He can never escape now.
That's right.
Hsiao Tieh.
Do you have time? Can I talk to you?
Did my dad commit a crime?
Could he have been set up by someone?
Let me ask you.
There's a father who's too broke
to feed his child.
He steals from a convenient store
and commits a crime.
Meanwhile, there's a construction manager
under a conglomerate.
He bribes the officials to cut wages
and building materials.
Whose crime is worse?
The construction manager.
I think so, too.
But the court verdict
was imprisonment of the child's father
for five years.
How about the construction manager?
The boss was jailed for two days.
Paid his bail and walked free.
How so?
For the unscrupulous construction manager,
he was merely staying overnight
in a hotel.
Anyone who commits a crime
must be punished by law.
That's what's right.
I can't bear to see those people
with power and privilege.
They use their power
not to protect the people,
but to dodge officials
who might bring them to justice.
I know he is your father.
You want to protect him.
I understand it
if you refuse to cooperate.
I've learned from the previous cases.
I will do my job without fear or favor.
It is my job to defend the law.
Even if your father is the criminal,
I will handle his case impartially
according to the law.
This is the reality.
I hope you understand it.
Despite your playful appearance,
you still uphold justice in your heart.
You're similar to me.
Where's the evidence?
We found Chan Ting-hsuan's hair
in Lien's car trunk.
I know you deleted the GPS records.
So we checked the records
at the head office.
We confirmed that the car visited
the river where Chan was attacked.
The time, location, and route
were all the same.
But you gave a different statement.
How do you explain it?
Mr. Lien, did you go there
to abandon the dead body?
Mr. Prosecutor.
Even if the travel record of the car
matched with material evidence,
that doesn't prove that Mr. Lien
is involved in the murder case.
The suspect could have driven Lien's car
to abandon the dead body at the riverside.
Right?
I have a witness who can prove the enmity
between Lien and Chan.
Can Mr. Lien explain this point?
I know Chan Ting-hsuan.
It happened more than 20 years ago.
He was once like my younger brother.
I took care of his family
when he was imprisoned.
I arranged a job for him
when he was released.
I didn't have enmity towards him.
You said I am suspicious.
Where is your evidence?
Let me talk about evidence.
We found skin flakes
under Chan Ting-hsuan's fingernails.
The test matched it with your DNA.
How do you explain that?
Chan Guo-bin, don't stare at me.
Let me ask you another question.
A witness mentioned about the enmity
between Lien and Chan.
Did you witness them arguing?
I have no idea.
This is your last chance.
Did Lien urge you to murder Chan?
The enmity between Ah Bin
and Chan Ting-hsuan
has nothing to do with Mr. Lien.
-I murdered Chan Ting-hsuan.
-Why?
My boss treats me well.
I dislike it when Chan treats
my boss badly.
His attitude was terrible.
I decided to help my boss get rid of him.
Who would believe in such a lame excuse?
Who urged you to kill Chan?
Tell me!
Ah Bin said Mr. Lien urged him?
That is impossible.
Why would Mr. Lien need to urge
Ah Bin to kill Chan Ting-hsuan?
What threat did Chan pose to Mr. Lien?
He wants to clear himself.
That's why he said he was incited.
Ah Bin killed him. What is his motive?
Mr. Prosecutor might need to ask him.
The record that you provided.
I can't tell if it is my voice.
It could be a fabricated evidence.
If you charge me with that evidence,
you must prove that I was
the speaker in the record.
We're testing it now.
We'll have a result soon.
Great. I'll wait for your good news.
All right.
Now that the truth is discovered.
May I leave?
Let me buy you a cup of tea next time.
What do you think about Ah Bin
being involved in attempted murder?
I've just returned
from the investigation department.
I fully cooperated
with their investigation.
I didn't expect him to be involved
in such a case. I feel sad.
He always did his job very well.
I trusted him a lot.
Mr. Hsun.
-The investigation is ongoing...
-Turn off the news.
I am done with that person's voice.
I dislike it a lot!
What's the problem now?
I don't want to talk about it now.
Let's drink together.
Mr. Hsun, Chan Ting-hsuan was attacked.
Lien Chong-yen was suspected
of inciting a murderer.
But there is this Ah Bin who confessed
his involvement in the crime.
Lien Chong-yen could walk free.
Is that so?
-Mr. Hsun.
-Chiang-wei.
Chiang-ta, may I ask you something?
Let's talk outside.
-Right now?
-Yeah.
He gave up eating for his girlfriend.
He has changed a lot.
He's different when he has a girlfriend.
Why are you always
checking your cell phone?
Are you expecting a phone call?
Not really. I am not expecting phone call.
I am thinking if I should contact her.
She might be feeling sad now.
Forget it.
Who is it?
Mr. Hsun, you don't know her.
In the world of love, I am a loser.
Which is why I am eating a lot.
I want to indulge in drinking.
Mr. Hsun.
Your beef and pork and fish and clam soup.
Your fried sauce noodles. I want them all.
Give me a bowl of fish tea rice, too.
Can you really finish it all?
My loneliness can only be cured
by all types of food.
Thank you. There's no problem
when you are all around.
Mr. Lien.
-Please see them out.
-Sure.
-Thank you.
-Thank you.
Mr. Lawyer.
Let me remind you.
At this critical moment, don't touch
on matters related to Ah Bin and Chan.
If the police ask for your fingernail
or hair for DNA testing,
you have the right to decline.
We are lucky to have dodged
the instigation charges.
Mr. Lien is very concerned about you.
If you admit to have murdered the victim,
state that Mr. Lien is not involved,
and he did not incite you
to murder anybody...
As long as you give this statement,
he'll take care of your family.
And upon your release,
he'll hire you again.
Got it.
I'll leave then.
While I am struggling in the election,
everybody is creating trouble for me.
Your painting that was stolen
by Kuan Ching-ching,
I know where it is.
You hand it over to the police,
and it will be returned to me.
That's right.
But if the painting
is involved in another story,
then there could be a different result.
After all, it is related
to Kuan Ching-ching's murder case.
Wang Chiang-ta.
I'm going to make you pay.
What do you want to ask me?
Didn't I ask you about your secret before?
I have discovered it now.
I know the secret that's hidden
in your room.
Did Chiang-wei already discover
that I am the son of the cop
who was killed in her family's case?
I'll be lenient if you'll be honest.
You have to be honest,
or I'll poke holes in your web.
Chiang-wei. I didn't intentionally--
Don't talk now. Let me speculate.
We have been together for some time.
I realized that logical thinking
is quite interesting.
If my judgment is wrong,
please correct me, Teacher Wang.
Two days ago, I received a call
from Macanna's shop manager.
He invited me to take a look
at the new and popular shoe model.
The stars have different colors.
Really?
It looks good, but the size is big.
May I get you a smaller size?
-Sure.
-Come back in a few days.
-All right.
-I'll call you.
The shop manager informed me
of the arrival of the new shoes.
-I went to see it two days later.
-Manager.
The manager said she accidentally
sold the new shoes. She apologized.
Later, I realized
that it didn't seem right.
I am familiar with the shop manager.
She wouldn't make such a mistake.
So I thought about it.
When I was talking over the phone
with the manager,
you were sitting behind me
and heard our conversation.
Did you know that...
Nothing.
I then kept asking the shop manager.
She couldn't argue with me.
She told me that
a tall and cool guy came over to ask
if Wang Chiang-wei was a member.
He showed our photo
to prove our relationship.
He asked for my shoe size
and bought the shoes for his girlfriend.
He was an honest guy.
Which is why...
There can only be one truth.
The tall and cool guy was you.
Am I right?
Are you sure?
Chiang-ta is trying to deter me.
I must stand firm.
You got it right.
This is for you.
So this is the pair.
My favorite pair of pink starry shoes.
Your favorite brand and shoe model.
I discovered it with my reasoning,
not wild guessing.
Sure. Reasoning.
I bought you shoes,
and you decided to repay me?
No way.
I bought this pair of shoes from you.
It's not a gift from you.
What rule is this?
You bought me shoes.
Aren't you worried I'll run away?
I don't worry.
Let me put them on.
Buying you this pair of shoes
means that I want us to walk together
for the rest of our lives.
That's cute.
The shoes come with stars
and my favorite pink color.
You haven't told Wang Chiang-wei
that you are the son of the murderer?
Why didn't you tell her?
You are sure your dad was innocent,
and you have no guts to tell her?
Chiang-wei,
I am hesitating
because I'm afraid I might lose you.
Wherever I go, I will always
want to be with you.
So long as you are with me,
I am a brave lion.
Dorothy,
how do I nurture the courage
to face up to my losses?
I can't bear it anymore.
I can't take it anymore.
I can't keep lying to Chiang-Wei anymore.
I will look for Lien Chong-yen.
I will ask him who Chief is.
BLACK DEVIL
MA-SHA IS DEAD
How's the progress of your task?
Mr. Lien, please don't worry.
I hired the most famous detective.
This is the investigative report
on Wang Chiang-ta and his friends.
Please take a look.
WANG CHIANG-TA
Lien Chong-yen.
Sorry, Mr. Lien.
I have a private matter
to discuss with you.
You two may go out.
Twenty-three years ago,
in the Wang family murder case,
who was Chief?
The case was 23 years ago.
Does it have something to do with me?
You don't need to pretend anymore.
Before Chan Ting-hsuan was attacked,
he told us everything.
Chan Ting-hsuan?
It was my staff who did something wrong.
As a tutor, you really talk nonsense.
I don't have to tell you anything.
The attempted murder case
already caused a lot of chaos.
Do you think things
are going better or worse?
Do you think the reporters
are going to let you go?
I came prepared to ask you
about the incident 23 years ago.
Lien Chong-yen,
you are Boss Sheng-li.
Only you knew who Chief was.
Tell me who Chief was.
Even if I know about it,
why do I need to tell you?
Does the case
have something to do with you?
The case is important to me.
I don't need to explain other matters.
I may promise you something.
If you reveal who Chief was,
I will stop investigating
you and the case.
What a joke. I did not break the law.
I am just fine whether you are
investigating me or not.
But you have a lot of secrets.
If you can tell me,
I might recall something.
That is none of your business.
Do you want to accept my condition?
Are you inexperienced?
Don't you know how to exchange conditions?
You don't have what I need.
I don't have anything for you. Get out.
I don't have the evidence
to corner Lien Chong-yen.
I came here directly
to negotiate with him.
I was too careless.
Let me tell you a conclusion.
I did not break the law.
Arrest me if you can.
I am Lien Chong-yen.
I don't need your pardon or conditions.
Send him off.
I'll leave now.
That brat...
POLICEMAN CODENAME "CHIEF" IS INVOLVED
WANG YU-MING SHOT
So he is the son of Wang Yu-ming.
For a top Math teacher like me,
online teaching is simple.
I can't hear students' applause,
but I am still fine.
-What now?
-Why is Chiang-ta's video here?
-That's right.
-What are you looking at?
You can watch Chiang-ta teaching here.
Wang Chiang-ta is the best
Math teacher on earth.
Think about it. There must be a method
to persuade the judge to grant us
the search warrant.
We must get the DNA of Lien Chong-yen.
He is at large now.
You must imprison him
to give him pressure.
Otherwise, he'll never tell the truth.
I suggest you go to the judge.
We have Old Yen's statement
but no solid evidence.
Don't talk about search warrant.
My superior is pressuring me.
He wants me to let go of the case.
He might want someone else
to handle my case. You know that?
What about you now?
You don't want to do anything?
You know that there is a problem,
but why are you not taking action?
Are you the same as the other police?
You say I'm not doing anything?
You say I do nothing.
Chiang-ta, do not lose your head
over this case again. All right?
I've known you since senior high school.
How much effort have I put
in all these years? Do you know?
And this is how you talk to me?
You're not helping me look for evidence.
Say that again.
I am not helping you look for evidence?
I want you to apologize.
Sorry.
I forgive you.
But only for now.
Chiang-wei.
Have you heard from Chiang-ta
about my dad's involvement in the case?
Not really.
Chiang-ta and Hsiao Tieh
don't talk to me about cases.
Let alone your dad's case.
Chiang-wei, may I...
ask for a favor?
Sure. What's the matter?
If you have the chance,
can you ask Chiang-ta
if he and Hsiao Tieh
are investigating my dad?
Sure, no problem.
But why don't you ask Hsiao Tieh yourself?
Given Hsiao Tieh's position,
he can't disclose anything.
It is related to my dad. I worry a lot,
but I don't want to trouble Hsiao Tieh.
All right. I'll ask Chiang-ta.
Thank you.
Hello?
Mr. Sun.
I have been looking for you.
Your family members
said you went overseas.
I have to return your money.
I still remember it.
Si-te.
Si-te.
Hsiao Tieh,
Si-te is Lien Chong-yen's daughter.
Through Si-te, we will be able to get
Lien Chong-yen's DNA.
Tell her and she will say yes.
No way.
Lien Chong-yen is her father.
This is too cruel for Si-te.
We do our job impartially.
Do not disturb Si-te.
What are you talking about?
This is the closest we've come
to the truth in 23 years.
Why are you letting
your personal feelings get involved?
Let me correct you.
I'm not using my personal feelings.
I'm telling you, I can't do it.
You know what?
If it is true
that Lien Chong-yen committed a crime,
Si-te...
will have to learn to accept it.
Chiang-ta.
For 23 years,
you bore the guilt of your father.
You know it very clearly.
Why would you want Si-te
to bear the same suffering?
Si-te is different from me.
My dad was wronged and framed
as a corrupted cop.
And now,
we are about to get the evidence.
Why are you stuck here?
Put yourself in my shoes.
Let me ask you.
Would you betray your own principles
for Chiang-wei?
If it is against your principles,
do you still press on?
Old Yen, sorry for asking you
to come over.
I got two news for you,
a good and a bad one.
Which one do you want to hear first?
I've seen this trick on TV shows.
A good news and a bad one.
However good it is,
the bad news would be horrible.
-Forget it.
-Be optimistic.
Let me tell you the good news.
I have proof that you are not involved
in Chan Ting-hsuan's case.
Chan hasn't woken up from his coma,
but he is still alive.
Old Yen, congratulations.
-Great. What a good news. Thanks.
-Good news, right?
This is great.
Prosecutor Tieh,
may I file for a protection order?
I worry that Lien would attack me.
Like how he treated Chan.
Your request makes sense.
Let me tell you the bad news.
This should be good for you.
-What is the bad news?
-Fei.
Old Yen, sorry.
Sorry for what? Why are you...
Why are you cuffing me again?
You just let me go.
What now?
Prosecutor will charge you
for giving false statement.
You wrongfully stated
that Ma-sha was Boss Sheng-li.
You gave wrong information, and you were
perverting the course of justice.
What false statement did I make?
I was forced to do so.
May I beg for a lighter sentence?
Sure. I'll give you a chance now.
You said five people were involved in
the Wang family's robbery and arson case.
You, Black Devil, Chan Ting-hsuan,
Lien Chong-yen, and Chief.
Who was the Chief?
Disclose his identity
and I'll fight for your lighter sentence.
If you refuse to disclose it,
you will get a longer sentence.
Old Yen.
You testified that Ma-sha
was a fake identity.
Do you still you want to frame my dad?
Prosecutor Tieh, how many times
do I have to tell you?
Chief had covered his face.
I have no idea who he is.
Chiang-ta wants to know this?
Is he next door? Chiang-ta.
I told you before.
I really don't know
if Chief is your father.
Only Lien Chong-yen knows it.
You check it out with him.
If you don't trust me,
we'll cross-check with Chan.
-We don't know who Chief was.
-Hsiao Tieh.
-We don't know.
-Ask Old Yen
the details when they entered
the Wang's house.
Both of us don't know who Chief was.
OId Yen, let me ask you.
When you entered the house
of the Wang family,
did you have contact with Chief?
We went inside the house
and took action separately.
We quarreled after that. Lien and Chan
set the house ablaze, and we left.
When we got back together,
Chief didn't show up.
I already told you.
The situation doesn't look good.
Yen Chang-tai was remanded.
His statement alone
could not affect me.
Mr. Lien,
Wang Chiang-wei is the one
next to your daughter.
Fancy a cup of coffee?
It's been a long day of teaching.
-Sure. Is it on you?
-Sure.
-I don't have much cash with me.
-It's on Teacher Jen-i.
Si-te.
Hello, Mr. Lien.
-I am Chang-tai's top Math teacher.
-Dad, why are you here?
Hello.
May I have an afternoon tea
with my daughter?
Your colleague may come along.
Me?
Dad, what are you doing?
You rarely want to invite my colleagues.
The daughter knows her father the best.
That's right.
I would like to talk to Ms. Wang.
Ms. Wang, Wang Chiang-ta misunderstood me.
I want to clear things up,
but I can't talk to him.
I know you are his girlfriend.
I would like to talk to you.
Dad, our colleague is waiting for us.
Maybe next time?
Teacher Si-te.
Don't you worry about
your dad's involvement in the case?
And we don't know the details
of the investigation
of Chiang-ta and Hsiao Tieh.
There could be a misunderstanding.
I could become the bridge
between the three of them.
Are you sure you can bear with it?
Sure. Don't worry.
All right. Please.
-Lawyer Ma.
-Goodbye.
So we are...
Hello, welcome.
Want to try our limited edition cake?
It is called Van Gogh's Sky.
It is made of Earl Grey mousse
and berries.
Each dessert comes with a different
sky design for each customer.
You'll enjoy the Earl Grey aroma
and sweet and sour berries.
It looks nice.
Dad.
You want to clear things up?
You may talk now.
Ms. Wang, I was dragged
in a lot of messy matters lately
because Wang Chiang-ta is opposing me.
Why would he want to oppose you?
Because of Chan Ting-hsuan.
Do you know that person?
Mr. Lien doesn't know that Chan
is involved in my family's case.
I don't need to be frank.
I know who he is.
He planned to bomb our tutorial school.
And he was involved in
a robbery and arson case
with Old Yen 23 years ago.
Why did she say robbery and arson case?
The case involved her family.
Not bad.
Chan and Yen were the criminals.
I must blame myself for going astray
during my younger years.
I used to be involved in fights,
debt collection, and extortion matters.
I mingled with them.
Twenty-three years ago,
they looked for me.
They were planning a robbery.
They planned to enter an empty house
of an antique dealer.
But at that time, because I already
invested in some small businesses
and I wanted to rectify my mistakes,
I didn't take part.
That was my family's case.
Mr. Lien, was it an antique dealer
surnamed Wang?
Wang Chiang-ta doesn't believe
that I didn't take part.
He hated the culprits involved.
And he took out his anger on me.
Does Chiang-ta have anything to do
with the case? Why is he angry?
You don't know then?
The case took place 23 years ago.
His father, Wang Yu-ming, was found dead
in the scene where Chan was arrested.
Chan and Old Yen confessed
that a cop was involved.
Wang Chiang-ta's father
was a suspect in the case.
Wang Chiang-wei.
She was orphaned
after the Wang family murder case.
Wang Chiang-wei fell in love
with Wang Chiang-ta.
Interesting.
I'm out of bargaining chips
to negotiate with Lien Chong-yen.
But Chan Ting-hsuan,
you can still bargain.
If you want to repent or seek revenge,
could you please...
wake up soon?
When a life disappears,
it affects a family.
I know that you have repented
during your 23-year jail term.
Chan, please wake up and help me.
I can't unlock the truth.
I need you to clarify things.
I'm unsure about the probability
of you waking up. But I will wait.
Waiting is like a poison
eating up my body.
You'd better wake up soon.
Wang Chiang-ta firmly believes
that his father is innocent.
But he has no evidence.
He asked me to prove that his father
was not involved in the case.
But I didn't know much.
I can't give him useful information,
so he is unhappy about it.
Why don't you just tell him
that you're not involved in the case?
I sold the painting during the auction.
Wang Chiang-ta said that was
a collection of Wang family.
He is adamant
that I'm involved in the case.
I actually bought that painting.
How could I tell if it belonged
to the Wang family's collection?
You are right.
The Wang family worked
in the antique business.
Antique and paintings
always changed hands.
Without any particulars and name list,
the seller couldn't remember them all.
He was ten years old back then.
His dad died and was accused
as a corrupt cop.
The public was all over the case, too.
He had to bear with a lot of pressure.
That's why he misunderstood me.
I explained to him
and he wouldn't listen to me.
Ms. Wang,
please mediate between us.
He is very smart.
But he is attacking me.
I find it very annoying.
I guarantee you.
I have nothing to do with the case
involving Chan and Old Yen.
Wang Chiang-ta misunderstood me.
Jen-i, excuse me.
Have you seen Chiang-wei or Si-te?
-Do you want to know?
-Yes.
Let me tell you.
The three of us worked together
the whole morning.
We were about to go for coffee
during noon break,
but someone showed up
and invited us for tea.
But I realized that they did not...
invite me!
Who showed up and invited them?
My future father-in-law.
I'm still trying to mingle with him.
That's Si-te's father.
Lien Chong-yen.
Lien Chong-yen brought them out
for afternoon tea?
And Chiang-wei joined them?
Where are they?
Do you have a pen and paper?
No. Just tell me.
The address where they're having tea...
has nothing to do with me!
I thought you would care for me.
No wonder Chiang-ta insisted to
cross-check with Kuan Ching-ching.
He was getting back our painting.
He wants to prove
that his father was innocent.
Even if your dad did wrong,
it has nothing to do with you.
Why did you not tell me?
Chiang-wei, are you okay?
Chiang-wei.
Chiang-wei.
Are you worried
about what my dad told you?
I shouldn't have agreed
to have tea with him.
He could go directly to Chiang-ta
to solve the problems.
Teacher Si-te.
There's something I'm not telling you.
I want to tell you now.
What's the matter?
Your dad mentioned about
the robbery and arson case 23 years ago.
The victim was the Wang family
antique dealer.
That's my family.
Your family?
Does Wang Chiang-ta know that?
He...
BIG CAT
Are you okay?
I am fine.
Tseng Jen-i told me that you and Si-te
went out with Lien Chong-yen.
Chiang-wei, can you be careful?
Teacher Si-te was with me. It was okay.
I think that
Mr. Lien is not like what you described.
You don't know his real personality.
The point is...
things are not what they seem to be.
You are right.
Things are not what they seem to be.
Everybody has his or her own secrets.
There are things
we don't want to disclose.
Why did he suddenly ask you
for afternoon tea?
They went out as father and daughter.
They chatted.
I accompanied Teacher Si-te.
But I discovered your secret.
Why did you say he is a criminal?
You think I have no evidence
to prove your dad's crime?
Whatever the outcome is,
I will hold your hand until the end.
Things are going smoothly
according to plan.
Do you know that your parents
were murdered
before the robbers set the house ablaze?
Subtitle translation by BK Yeow
Kuan Ching-ching and she fainted.
This painting is a clue
Kuan Ching-ching left for you.
It looks like a bloodstain.
Lien Chong-yen is suspicious.
Right.
I keep forgetting to ask you.
How did someone as positive as you
end up falling in love
with a lone lion like me?
I liked you without your permission.
I'm so sorry, Teacher Chiang-ta.
You don't need to feel sorry about it.
But I think I actually liked you first.
Take a look.
We started from one when we met.
Now, neither one of us
can be without the other.
That "one" has become everything
between us.
I...
I'm not sure why I like you.
But...
I know that
you are the reason I can't possibly
love another person.
So the greatest luxury in the world
is finding your own heart smiling.
On the one-third piece
which Kuan Ching-ching stole
Lien Chong-yen's warehouse,
we found a set of blood DNA.
On the bloodstain,
we also found fingerprints.
As for other the fingerprints, I believe
they belong to Lien Chong-yen.
The painting belongs to him. It is
normal if his fingerprints are on it.
The key lies in the blood
and the report on the blood fingerprints.
We'll know it when the report is out.
If the bloodstain belongs
to the Wang family,
Lien Chong-yen could say
it was there when he bought the painting.
The court could only punish him
for keeping stolen goods.
But we have some problems now.
The unresolved case 23 years ago
has lost much of its evidence.
Some evidence has been destroyed.
I need to spend a long time
to build a DNA database
of the survivor of the Wang family.
We still have Wang Chiang-wei.
The forensic department may
cross-check the blood DNA on the painting
with the DNA of Wang Chiang-wei.
If both sets match,
that means the bloodstain
belongs to Chiang-wei's parents.
It's possible.
I'll leave it to you.
You're her boyfriend after all.
I admire you, Prosecutor Tieh.
But why was Chan Ting-hsuan
attacked? Who would do so?
What was the motive?
We still have no idea.
Medical report of Chan Ting-hsuan
showed that tap water was pumped into
his lungs, not Lantian river water.
Someone drowned him in tap water
before throwing him in the river.
So the suspect wanted to create a false
impression that he drowned in the river.
This was similar to
Kuan Ching-ching's case.
But who would want to do that?
Chan Ting-hsuan's
cervical vertebra was broken.
Someone fought with him with bare hands.
It could be a good martial art fighter
who was taller than Chan Ting-hsuan.
Mr. Chiang-ta, you are great.
Why don't you become a cop or prosecutor?
We could be able to resolve
many cases. What a waste.
A waste?
Fei, you still need a job, right?
Hello?
All right. Got it.
We've discovered the last person
who spoke to Chan Ting-hsuan.
I've had my tutorial school for years.
But I think the business
can't survive now.
If it is really tough,
you might as well close it.
Yeah. You may work as a Chinese teacher
at Li Ta-shih's tutorial class.
You want to become
their Math teacher, right?
I will follow Teacher Si-te.
She is my root.
Drink your coffee.
Boss, Mr. He is looking for you.
Hello, Mr. Yen.
Mr. Savior.
Mr. He introduced this to me.
Their program is well-designed.
It is convenient for students'
learning experience.
They can work on tests and assessments.
Test marks will be given.
And they can play games, too. It's good.
Through the cloud storage,
they may follow details
of teachers' classes.
-Really?
-Can you show us?
All right. I have an example.
Please take a look.
-When was this recorded?
-I asked Niu Niu to record it last week.
-There are gems and gold coins.
-Really?
I've only ever won sport cars.
These are some ideas
to encourage the students.
You are so considerate.
It's our duty to make learning
more interesting.
If they do a test with Hanlin Cloud Class,
they may play a tank game.
Students could study well
and nurture a sense of accomplishment.
It looks good.
-Not bad.
-Not bad.
We have to get Chiang-ta
and Chiang-wei back.
I would hug Chiang-ta if he comes around.
Wang Chiang-ta.
Previous top teacher.
-Current top teacher.
-Chiang-ta, perfect timing.
I need to talk to you.
-We also need to talk to you.
-We also need to talk to you.
-Well...
-Let's talk in your office.
-Please follow us.
-Please follow us.
Yes, please. Please wait for me.
Please come in.
Why did you make a trip all the way here?
What's the matter?
Give us your hands.
My hands.
-Great.
-Spectacular.
Hey. What is going on?
Old Yen, you're a suspect in the attempted
murder of Chan Ting-hsuan.
Please follow us.
You made a mistake. Chiang-ta,
would you speak up for me?
Old Yen, don't worry.
We'll talk in the station.
I...
-We'll have tea.
-Tea time. Let's go.
We have checked Chan Ting-hsuan's
phone records. He last contacted you.
What was it about?
He called me.
He was asking for my help.
He asked for your help?
Wasn't he hostile to you?
He wanted to bomb your tutorial school.
Old Yen, plan carefully
before you tell a lie.
Are you trying to cover up
your attempted murder?
I didn't kill him.
But you have sufficient motive.
It was not me. Had it been me,
why did I look for you in your office?
Did you come to my office? When was it?
Prosecutor Tieh, I need your help.
What's the matter?
Old Yen.
Chiang-ta, you are also here.
You weren't talking clearly that day.
It couldn't prove anything.
Speaking of motive, someone
has a stronger motive than I do.
-Who is it?
-Brother Sheng-li.
I think Boss Sheng-li
was trying to kill Chan Ting-hsuan.
I thought you said Ma-sha
was Boss Sheng-li and he was dead?
Old Yen, you lied before.
Ma-sha is not Boss Sheng-li.
That was somebody else.
Old Yen, you are in great trouble.
You gave a false statement.
I was forced.
Boss wants Chan and I
to collude our statements.
He didn't want himself to be exposed.
And he promised our safety.
He told us so.
Who is the boss?
Well...
Let me tell you. If you say nothing now,
you can hardly be cleared.
Tell us.
After the bombing incident,
the boss asked me to meet him.
It has been a long while.
Why did you want to meet me?
Don't call me Boss Sheng-li.
I fought very hard to achieve
what I have today.
I don't want you all to ruin it.
Let me make a deal with you.
What's the deal?
-Who is this?
-He was Ma-sha.
If the police ask you about the old case,
you may accuse him as the Boss Sheng-li
who planned everything.
Boss.
Why should I help you?
I'll pay you a large sum of money
to make up for your losses.
But if you do not cooperate...
Boss, it's clear.
I understand your instruction.
Boss Sheng-li is Lien Chong-yen.
Lien Chong-yen was involved
in the old case.
No wonder he had the painting
of the Wang family.
I agreed with Lien Chong-yen's deal.
We colluded our statements.
I received a large sum of money
to keep quiet.
Since Chan said Sheng-li was Ma-sha,
I think he got the same deal from Lien.
Let me ask you.
Why did Chan Ting-hsuan
look for you before he was attacked?
Didn't you say that Boss
fired a shot at my leg?
I will go and ask him.
But seeing how he sacrificed
long-time brothers
when this incident happened,
I know I could be doomed soon.
If something happens to me,
please disclose what I passed to you.
Chan Ting-hsuan
suspected that Lien Chong-yen shot him,
so he looked for him.
And he was murdered.
I am not the murderer.
When I came in, you took away an envelope.
That was likely to be conversation records
between Chan and Lien.
Chan Ting-hsuan wanted to use it
to protect himself. But he is now...
We need to investigate
the authenticity of your statement.
I will apply for your remand.
I can let you go only when new evidence
proves your innocence.
Old Yen, please be patient.
Yen Chang-tai, you have visitors.
Looking for me?
What are you two doing here? That's great.
We brought your favorite pork rib rice.
You two treat me well. Thank you.
You have no family and friends.
What will you do if we don't visit?
Old Yen.
-We know your personality.
-That's right.
You are really stingy. But if someone
accuses you of attempted murder,
that is hilarious.
So you came over to tease me?
I've been wronged.
How could I possibly murder someone?
Lien Chong-yen should be blamed.
Twenty years ago and up until now,
he gives me a lot of trouble.
-Old Yen.
-What?
You know my dad?
Did I mention about him?
What about 20 years ago and until now?
Did my dad set you up?
No.
I know so many people.
I have old friends and colleagues.
Their names and appearances
are all mixed together.
I don't know what I'm talking about.
Sir, may I have my lunch box?
I would like to have it.
All right. Visitor's time is up.
I will eat now. Please visit again.
Bye.
The snuff bottle...
was also a favorite collection of Po-i
My dad also liked this?
Mr. Chin,
is there a list of the antiques
that were stolen from my home?
There were records
for the expensive antiques.
But he did not keep records
for his favorite items.
I see.
Other than my dad's painting,
I have an ancient lion paperweight.
I feel like the sudden appearance of these
things is reminding me of something.
I always feel that there's more
to that fire back then.
There was no hidden agenda.
These matters faded away long ago.
There are old stories
behind antique items.
It is an affinity for one
to own these antique items.
You must also follow affinity when
working on antique authentication.
Don't turn yourself into an antique.
Got it.
Speaking of which,
Pu Hsin-yu's painting that was stolen
during Jiade Auction,
Chiang-ta found it now.
That was also your dad's
favorite collection.
Was it part of my dad's collection?
I mean, that your dad wanted
to collect it. Same as the snuff bottle.
He wanted to collect it.
It has an affinity with me.
Chiang-ta found it.
Fei, a duty for you.
We will now investigate
Lien Chong-yen as a suspect.
Check his car's travel record and GPS.
Let's see if we can find something.
Okay, Prosecutor Tieh, I will handle it.
See you, Mr. Chiang-ta.
Hsiao Tieh.
Lien Chong-yen is cunning.
He dodged the responsibilities
regarding the soy sauce factory.
Even if he was involved
in the attempted murder case,
he might be able to dodge it.
You'd better watch out.
Rich people call the shots.
I am really furious about this.
I previously mentioned to you
this guy taller than Chan Ting-hsuan,
and he could hit and kill opponents
with bare hands.
I think I know who he is.
Who is it?
Ah Bin, Lien Chong-yen's bodyguard.
Rings a bell?
That handsome guy?
I fought with him several times.
I know his style.
So? Do you admire his skills?
He looked for me at the university.
He asked for Kuan Ching-ching's painting.
That painting again?
What's happening to my dad?
He's involved in a murder case?
If you arrest Lien Chong-yen,
the old case that was dragged for 23 years
will get all its clues reconnected.
Unexpectedly, after reopening this case,
all relevant parties are people around us.
Putting those people together in one case,
the probability is quite low.
I also did not expect that these people
would be interconnected.
We are on the verge of discovering
who Chief is.
We are close to solving this problem now.
That's right.
Have you thought of this?
For you, this is a math problem.
For Si-te and Chiang-wei,
this is about what is right and wrong.
The truth is not as simple
as one straightforward answer.
Human life is about answering
the questions.
We can only solve them one by one.
I've spent 23 years on this question.
There is only one truth and answer.
But let me remind you.
Sometimes "no solution"
could also be an answer.
Got it.
You hid the truth for many years.
You were imprisoned.
You have a strong sense of loyalty.
But what happened to you now?
Are you happy with it now?
Chan Ting-hsuan is cruel.
Kuan Ching-ching stole Lien Chong-yen's
painting, and he killed her.
These people do not value
other people's lives.
Tell me.
You fell asleep
without taking off your glasses.
You'll catch a cold.
The forensic department may
cross-check the blood DNA on the painting
with the DNA of Wang Chiang-wei.
It's possible.
I'll leave it to you.
You're her boyfriend after all.
Big Cat, your acting too slowly.
I should get her back to the room.
The prince kisses the princess
before carrying her.
Hello?
Hey, don't go to sleep yet.
I'll discuss with you Ah Bin's matters.
All right. I'll wait for you.
Hsiao Tieh, buy me supper.
He hung up.
Hsiao Tieh doesn't buy supper lately.
He might have some financial problems.
Give me ten dollars.
Ten dollars?
Are you about to tell me
Dorothy's poor joke?
Not really.
I bought you a pair of shoes.
-Take a look.
-Shoes?
My birthday already passed.
Gifts are not limited to birthdays.
It was on sale so I bought it for you.
-This color...
-How is it? Looks good?
I have the same pair of shoes.
We may wear couple's shoes in the future.
It's too obvious if we wear
couple's clothes.
Couple's shoes.
It makes our Big Cat look cool.
And we can tell the world
that we are a couple.
Killing two birds with one stone, right?
I like the meaning behind these shoes.
I know you don't celebrate your birthday.
I also know you are a lone lion.
Our parents are dead.
But no worries.
We'll have each other from now on.
So you must treasure me.
I will treasure you, too.
As a matter of fact,
I had gotten used to being alone.
But since you appeared in my life.
I am only thinking about two matters.
First, to keep you by my side.
Second, to stay by your side.
Wang Chiang-ta, your favorite supper...
If this isn't a good time,
I may return after half an hour.
Ignoring me?
All right.
Showing love or having supper.
It's up to you.
I can eat and show love at the same time.
All right.
Tieh, let's eat together.
Sure.
What is peace of mind?
The answer is you.
LIEN CHONG-YEN POLITICAL CAMPAIGN OFFICE
The police are here on duty.
Give way.
Please cooperate with our search.
Search the computers.
-Search the documents.
-Let's go.
-Search that part.
-Please show me company details.
Thank you.
-Search with your eyes.
-You, come here!
-Open up.
-What's the matter?
Mr. Lien, we meet again.
Prosecutor Tieh.
What are you doing?
We will invite you to have
a cup of tea in our station.
He's quite fit.
Sorry, I brought you here
amid your busy schedule.
One question.
Where were you
when Chan Ting-hsuan was attacked?
I will not say anything
until my lawyer arrives.
Sure.
Detestable.
He is cunning and dodging
my interrogation.
Is there another way to deal with him?
Has this been estimated?
Not really.
I can talk to Ah Bin later today.
I have separated Lien Chong-yen
and Ah Bin.
They can never collude their statements.
All right.
Hsiao Tieh, hang on.
You'd better be careful.
Lien's lawyer could be colluding
with them to make false statements.
Prosecutor Tieh, the police investigated
Lien Chong-yen's car.
There were traces
of riverbank's mud on his tires
and Chan Ting-hsuan's hair in his trunk.
The GPS confirmed that Lien went
to the river where Chan was drowned.
Good job.
Furthermore,
we have the call logs between Chan
and Lien before the incident.
He incited Chan to kill Kuan Ching-ching.
He can never escape now.
That's right.
Hsiao Tieh.
Do you have time? Can I talk to you?
Did my dad commit a crime?
Could he have been set up by someone?
Let me ask you.
There's a father who's too broke
to feed his child.
He steals from a convenient store
and commits a crime.
Meanwhile, there's a construction manager
under a conglomerate.
He bribes the officials to cut wages
and building materials.
Whose crime is worse?
The construction manager.
I think so, too.
But the court verdict
was imprisonment of the child's father
for five years.
How about the construction manager?
The boss was jailed for two days.
Paid his bail and walked free.
How so?
For the unscrupulous construction manager,
he was merely staying overnight
in a hotel.
Anyone who commits a crime
must be punished by law.
That's what's right.
I can't bear to see those people
with power and privilege.
They use their power
not to protect the people,
but to dodge officials
who might bring them to justice.
I know he is your father.
You want to protect him.
I understand it
if you refuse to cooperate.
I've learned from the previous cases.
I will do my job without fear or favor.
It is my job to defend the law.
Even if your father is the criminal,
I will handle his case impartially
according to the law.
This is the reality.
I hope you understand it.
Despite your playful appearance,
you still uphold justice in your heart.
You're similar to me.
Where's the evidence?
We found Chan Ting-hsuan's hair
in Lien's car trunk.
I know you deleted the GPS records.
So we checked the records
at the head office.
We confirmed that the car visited
the river where Chan was attacked.
The time, location, and route
were all the same.
But you gave a different statement.
How do you explain it?
Mr. Lien, did you go there
to abandon the dead body?
Mr. Prosecutor.
Even if the travel record of the car
matched with material evidence,
that doesn't prove that Mr. Lien
is involved in the murder case.
The suspect could have driven Lien's car
to abandon the dead body at the riverside.
Right?
I have a witness who can prove the enmity
between Lien and Chan.
Can Mr. Lien explain this point?
I know Chan Ting-hsuan.
It happened more than 20 years ago.
He was once like my younger brother.
I took care of his family
when he was imprisoned.
I arranged a job for him
when he was released.
I didn't have enmity towards him.
You said I am suspicious.
Where is your evidence?
Let me talk about evidence.
We found skin flakes
under Chan Ting-hsuan's fingernails.
The test matched it with your DNA.
How do you explain that?
Chan Guo-bin, don't stare at me.
Let me ask you another question.
A witness mentioned about the enmity
between Lien and Chan.
Did you witness them arguing?
I have no idea.
This is your last chance.
Did Lien urge you to murder Chan?
The enmity between Ah Bin
and Chan Ting-hsuan
has nothing to do with Mr. Lien.
-I murdered Chan Ting-hsuan.
-Why?
My boss treats me well.
I dislike it when Chan treats
my boss badly.
His attitude was terrible.
I decided to help my boss get rid of him.
Who would believe in such a lame excuse?
Who urged you to kill Chan?
Tell me!
Ah Bin said Mr. Lien urged him?
That is impossible.
Why would Mr. Lien need to urge
Ah Bin to kill Chan Ting-hsuan?
What threat did Chan pose to Mr. Lien?
He wants to clear himself.
That's why he said he was incited.
Ah Bin killed him. What is his motive?
Mr. Prosecutor might need to ask him.
The record that you provided.
I can't tell if it is my voice.
It could be a fabricated evidence.
If you charge me with that evidence,
you must prove that I was
the speaker in the record.
We're testing it now.
We'll have a result soon.
Great. I'll wait for your good news.
All right.
Now that the truth is discovered.
May I leave?
Let me buy you a cup of tea next time.
What do you think about Ah Bin
being involved in attempted murder?
I've just returned
from the investigation department.
I fully cooperated
with their investigation.
I didn't expect him to be involved
in such a case. I feel sad.
He always did his job very well.
I trusted him a lot.
Mr. Hsun.
-The investigation is ongoing...
-Turn off the news.
I am done with that person's voice.
I dislike it a lot!
What's the problem now?
I don't want to talk about it now.
Let's drink together.
Mr. Hsun, Chan Ting-hsuan was attacked.
Lien Chong-yen was suspected
of inciting a murderer.
But there is this Ah Bin who confessed
his involvement in the crime.
Lien Chong-yen could walk free.
Is that so?
-Mr. Hsun.
-Chiang-wei.
Chiang-ta, may I ask you something?
Let's talk outside.
-Right now?
-Yeah.
He gave up eating for his girlfriend.
He has changed a lot.
He's different when he has a girlfriend.
Why are you always
checking your cell phone?
Are you expecting a phone call?
Not really. I am not expecting phone call.
I am thinking if I should contact her.
She might be feeling sad now.
Forget it.
Who is it?
Mr. Hsun, you don't know her.
In the world of love, I am a loser.
Which is why I am eating a lot.
I want to indulge in drinking.
Mr. Hsun.
Your beef and pork and fish and clam soup.
Your fried sauce noodles. I want them all.
Give me a bowl of fish tea rice, too.
Can you really finish it all?
My loneliness can only be cured
by all types of food.
Thank you. There's no problem
when you are all around.
Mr. Lien.
-Please see them out.
-Sure.
-Thank you.
-Thank you.
Mr. Lawyer.
Let me remind you.
At this critical moment, don't touch
on matters related to Ah Bin and Chan.
If the police ask for your fingernail
or hair for DNA testing,
you have the right to decline.
We are lucky to have dodged
the instigation charges.
Mr. Lien is very concerned about you.
If you admit to have murdered the victim,
state that Mr. Lien is not involved,
and he did not incite you
to murder anybody...
As long as you give this statement,
he'll take care of your family.
And upon your release,
he'll hire you again.
Got it.
I'll leave then.
While I am struggling in the election,
everybody is creating trouble for me.
Your painting that was stolen
by Kuan Ching-ching,
I know where it is.
You hand it over to the police,
and it will be returned to me.
That's right.
But if the painting
is involved in another story,
then there could be a different result.
After all, it is related
to Kuan Ching-ching's murder case.
Wang Chiang-ta.
I'm going to make you pay.
What do you want to ask me?
Didn't I ask you about your secret before?
I have discovered it now.
I know the secret that's hidden
in your room.
Did Chiang-wei already discover
that I am the son of the cop
who was killed in her family's case?
I'll be lenient if you'll be honest.
You have to be honest,
or I'll poke holes in your web.
Chiang-wei. I didn't intentionally--
Don't talk now. Let me speculate.
We have been together for some time.
I realized that logical thinking
is quite interesting.
If my judgment is wrong,
please correct me, Teacher Wang.
Two days ago, I received a call
from Macanna's shop manager.
He invited me to take a look
at the new and popular shoe model.
The stars have different colors.
Really?
It looks good, but the size is big.
May I get you a smaller size?
-Sure.
-Come back in a few days.
-All right.
-I'll call you.
The shop manager informed me
of the arrival of the new shoes.
-I went to see it two days later.
-Manager.
The manager said she accidentally
sold the new shoes. She apologized.
Later, I realized
that it didn't seem right.
I am familiar with the shop manager.
She wouldn't make such a mistake.
So I thought about it.
When I was talking over the phone
with the manager,
you were sitting behind me
and heard our conversation.
Did you know that...
Nothing.
I then kept asking the shop manager.
She couldn't argue with me.
She told me that
a tall and cool guy came over to ask
if Wang Chiang-wei was a member.
He showed our photo
to prove our relationship.
He asked for my shoe size
and bought the shoes for his girlfriend.
He was an honest guy.
Which is why...
There can only be one truth.
The tall and cool guy was you.
Am I right?
Are you sure?
Chiang-ta is trying to deter me.
I must stand firm.
You got it right.
This is for you.
So this is the pair.
My favorite pair of pink starry shoes.
Your favorite brand and shoe model.
I discovered it with my reasoning,
not wild guessing.
Sure. Reasoning.
I bought you shoes,
and you decided to repay me?
No way.
I bought this pair of shoes from you.
It's not a gift from you.
What rule is this?
You bought me shoes.
Aren't you worried I'll run away?
I don't worry.
Let me put them on.
Buying you this pair of shoes
means that I want us to walk together
for the rest of our lives.
That's cute.
The shoes come with stars
and my favorite pink color.
You haven't told Wang Chiang-wei
that you are the son of the murderer?
Why didn't you tell her?
You are sure your dad was innocent,
and you have no guts to tell her?
Chiang-wei,
I am hesitating
because I'm afraid I might lose you.
Wherever I go, I will always
want to be with you.
So long as you are with me,
I am a brave lion.
Dorothy,
how do I nurture the courage
to face up to my losses?
I can't bear it anymore.
I can't take it anymore.
I can't keep lying to Chiang-Wei anymore.
I will look for Lien Chong-yen.
I will ask him who Chief is.
BLACK DEVIL
MA-SHA IS DEAD
How's the progress of your task?
Mr. Lien, please don't worry.
I hired the most famous detective.
This is the investigative report
on Wang Chiang-ta and his friends.
Please take a look.
WANG CHIANG-TA
Lien Chong-yen.
Sorry, Mr. Lien.
I have a private matter
to discuss with you.
You two may go out.
Twenty-three years ago,
in the Wang family murder case,
who was Chief?
The case was 23 years ago.
Does it have something to do with me?
You don't need to pretend anymore.
Before Chan Ting-hsuan was attacked,
he told us everything.
Chan Ting-hsuan?
It was my staff who did something wrong.
As a tutor, you really talk nonsense.
I don't have to tell you anything.
The attempted murder case
already caused a lot of chaos.
Do you think things
are going better or worse?
Do you think the reporters
are going to let you go?
I came prepared to ask you
about the incident 23 years ago.
Lien Chong-yen,
you are Boss Sheng-li.
Only you knew who Chief was.
Tell me who Chief was.
Even if I know about it,
why do I need to tell you?
Does the case
have something to do with you?
The case is important to me.
I don't need to explain other matters.
I may promise you something.
If you reveal who Chief was,
I will stop investigating
you and the case.
What a joke. I did not break the law.
I am just fine whether you are
investigating me or not.
But you have a lot of secrets.
If you can tell me,
I might recall something.
That is none of your business.
Do you want to accept my condition?
Are you inexperienced?
Don't you know how to exchange conditions?
You don't have what I need.
I don't have anything for you. Get out.
I don't have the evidence
to corner Lien Chong-yen.
I came here directly
to negotiate with him.
I was too careless.
Let me tell you a conclusion.
I did not break the law.
Arrest me if you can.
I am Lien Chong-yen.
I don't need your pardon or conditions.
Send him off.
I'll leave now.
That brat...
POLICEMAN CODENAME "CHIEF" IS INVOLVED
WANG YU-MING SHOT
So he is the son of Wang Yu-ming.
For a top Math teacher like me,
online teaching is simple.
I can't hear students' applause,
but I am still fine.
-What now?
-Why is Chiang-ta's video here?
-That's right.
-What are you looking at?
You can watch Chiang-ta teaching here.
Wang Chiang-ta is the best
Math teacher on earth.
Think about it. There must be a method
to persuade the judge to grant us
the search warrant.
We must get the DNA of Lien Chong-yen.
He is at large now.
You must imprison him
to give him pressure.
Otherwise, he'll never tell the truth.
I suggest you go to the judge.
We have Old Yen's statement
but no solid evidence.
Don't talk about search warrant.
My superior is pressuring me.
He wants me to let go of the case.
He might want someone else
to handle my case. You know that?
What about you now?
You don't want to do anything?
You know that there is a problem,
but why are you not taking action?
Are you the same as the other police?
You say I'm not doing anything?
You say I do nothing.
Chiang-ta, do not lose your head
over this case again. All right?
I've known you since senior high school.
How much effort have I put
in all these years? Do you know?
And this is how you talk to me?
You're not helping me look for evidence.
Say that again.
I am not helping you look for evidence?
I want you to apologize.
Sorry.
I forgive you.
But only for now.
Chiang-wei.
Have you heard from Chiang-ta
about my dad's involvement in the case?
Not really.
Chiang-ta and Hsiao Tieh
don't talk to me about cases.
Let alone your dad's case.
Chiang-wei, may I...
ask for a favor?
Sure. What's the matter?
If you have the chance,
can you ask Chiang-ta
if he and Hsiao Tieh
are investigating my dad?
Sure, no problem.
But why don't you ask Hsiao Tieh yourself?
Given Hsiao Tieh's position,
he can't disclose anything.
It is related to my dad. I worry a lot,
but I don't want to trouble Hsiao Tieh.
All right. I'll ask Chiang-ta.
Thank you.
Hello?
Mr. Sun.
I have been looking for you.
Your family members
said you went overseas.
I have to return your money.
I still remember it.
Si-te.
Si-te.
Hsiao Tieh,
Si-te is Lien Chong-yen's daughter.
Through Si-te, we will be able to get
Lien Chong-yen's DNA.
Tell her and she will say yes.
No way.
Lien Chong-yen is her father.
This is too cruel for Si-te.
We do our job impartially.
Do not disturb Si-te.
What are you talking about?
This is the closest we've come
to the truth in 23 years.
Why are you letting
your personal feelings get involved?
Let me correct you.
I'm not using my personal feelings.
I'm telling you, I can't do it.
You know what?
If it is true
that Lien Chong-yen committed a crime,
Si-te...
will have to learn to accept it.
Chiang-ta.
For 23 years,
you bore the guilt of your father.
You know it very clearly.
Why would you want Si-te
to bear the same suffering?
Si-te is different from me.
My dad was wronged and framed
as a corrupted cop.
And now,
we are about to get the evidence.
Why are you stuck here?
Put yourself in my shoes.
Let me ask you.
Would you betray your own principles
for Chiang-wei?
If it is against your principles,
do you still press on?
Old Yen, sorry for asking you
to come over.
I got two news for you,
a good and a bad one.
Which one do you want to hear first?
I've seen this trick on TV shows.
A good news and a bad one.
However good it is,
the bad news would be horrible.
-Forget it.
-Be optimistic.
Let me tell you the good news.
I have proof that you are not involved
in Chan Ting-hsuan's case.
Chan hasn't woken up from his coma,
but he is still alive.
Old Yen, congratulations.
-Great. What a good news. Thanks.
-Good news, right?
This is great.
Prosecutor Tieh,
may I file for a protection order?
I worry that Lien would attack me.
Like how he treated Chan.
Your request makes sense.
Let me tell you the bad news.
This should be good for you.
-What is the bad news?
-Fei.
Old Yen, sorry.
Sorry for what? Why are you...
Why are you cuffing me again?
You just let me go.
What now?
Prosecutor will charge you
for giving false statement.
You wrongfully stated
that Ma-sha was Boss Sheng-li.
You gave wrong information, and you were
perverting the course of justice.
What false statement did I make?
I was forced to do so.
May I beg for a lighter sentence?
Sure. I'll give you a chance now.
You said five people were involved in
the Wang family's robbery and arson case.
You, Black Devil, Chan Ting-hsuan,
Lien Chong-yen, and Chief.
Who was the Chief?
Disclose his identity
and I'll fight for your lighter sentence.
If you refuse to disclose it,
you will get a longer sentence.
Old Yen.
You testified that Ma-sha
was a fake identity.
Do you still you want to frame my dad?
Prosecutor Tieh, how many times
do I have to tell you?
Chief had covered his face.
I have no idea who he is.
Chiang-ta wants to know this?
Is he next door? Chiang-ta.
I told you before.
I really don't know
if Chief is your father.
Only Lien Chong-yen knows it.
You check it out with him.
If you don't trust me,
we'll cross-check with Chan.
-We don't know who Chief was.
-Hsiao Tieh.
-We don't know.
-Ask Old Yen
the details when they entered
the Wang's house.
Both of us don't know who Chief was.
OId Yen, let me ask you.
When you entered the house
of the Wang family,
did you have contact with Chief?
We went inside the house
and took action separately.
We quarreled after that. Lien and Chan
set the house ablaze, and we left.
When we got back together,
Chief didn't show up.
I already told you.
The situation doesn't look good.
Yen Chang-tai was remanded.
His statement alone
could not affect me.
Mr. Lien,
Wang Chiang-wei is the one
next to your daughter.
Fancy a cup of coffee?
It's been a long day of teaching.
-Sure. Is it on you?
-Sure.
-I don't have much cash with me.
-It's on Teacher Jen-i.
Si-te.
Hello, Mr. Lien.
-I am Chang-tai's top Math teacher.
-Dad, why are you here?
Hello.
May I have an afternoon tea
with my daughter?
Your colleague may come along.
Me?
Dad, what are you doing?
You rarely want to invite my colleagues.
The daughter knows her father the best.
That's right.
I would like to talk to Ms. Wang.
Ms. Wang, Wang Chiang-ta misunderstood me.
I want to clear things up,
but I can't talk to him.
I know you are his girlfriend.
I would like to talk to you.
Dad, our colleague is waiting for us.
Maybe next time?
Teacher Si-te.
Don't you worry about
your dad's involvement in the case?
And we don't know the details
of the investigation
of Chiang-ta and Hsiao Tieh.
There could be a misunderstanding.
I could become the bridge
between the three of them.
Are you sure you can bear with it?
Sure. Don't worry.
All right. Please.
-Lawyer Ma.
-Goodbye.
So we are...
Hello, welcome.
Want to try our limited edition cake?
It is called Van Gogh's Sky.
It is made of Earl Grey mousse
and berries.
Each dessert comes with a different
sky design for each customer.
You'll enjoy the Earl Grey aroma
and sweet and sour berries.
It looks nice.
Dad.
You want to clear things up?
You may talk now.
Ms. Wang, I was dragged
in a lot of messy matters lately
because Wang Chiang-ta is opposing me.
Why would he want to oppose you?
Because of Chan Ting-hsuan.
Do you know that person?
Mr. Lien doesn't know that Chan
is involved in my family's case.
I don't need to be frank.
I know who he is.
He planned to bomb our tutorial school.
And he was involved in
a robbery and arson case
with Old Yen 23 years ago.
Why did she say robbery and arson case?
The case involved her family.
Not bad.
Chan and Yen were the criminals.
I must blame myself for going astray
during my younger years.
I used to be involved in fights,
debt collection, and extortion matters.
I mingled with them.
Twenty-three years ago,
they looked for me.
They were planning a robbery.
They planned to enter an empty house
of an antique dealer.
But at that time, because I already
invested in some small businesses
and I wanted to rectify my mistakes,
I didn't take part.
That was my family's case.
Mr. Lien, was it an antique dealer
surnamed Wang?
Wang Chiang-ta doesn't believe
that I didn't take part.
He hated the culprits involved.
And he took out his anger on me.
Does Chiang-ta have anything to do
with the case? Why is he angry?
You don't know then?
The case took place 23 years ago.
His father, Wang Yu-ming, was found dead
in the scene where Chan was arrested.
Chan and Old Yen confessed
that a cop was involved.
Wang Chiang-ta's father
was a suspect in the case.
Wang Chiang-wei.
She was orphaned
after the Wang family murder case.
Wang Chiang-wei fell in love
with Wang Chiang-ta.
Interesting.
I'm out of bargaining chips
to negotiate with Lien Chong-yen.
But Chan Ting-hsuan,
you can still bargain.
If you want to repent or seek revenge,
could you please...
wake up soon?
When a life disappears,
it affects a family.
I know that you have repented
during your 23-year jail term.
Chan, please wake up and help me.
I can't unlock the truth.
I need you to clarify things.
I'm unsure about the probability
of you waking up. But I will wait.
Waiting is like a poison
eating up my body.
You'd better wake up soon.
Wang Chiang-ta firmly believes
that his father is innocent.
But he has no evidence.
He asked me to prove that his father
was not involved in the case.
But I didn't know much.
I can't give him useful information,
so he is unhappy about it.
Why don't you just tell him
that you're not involved in the case?
I sold the painting during the auction.
Wang Chiang-ta said that was
a collection of Wang family.
He is adamant
that I'm involved in the case.
I actually bought that painting.
How could I tell if it belonged
to the Wang family's collection?
You are right.
The Wang family worked
in the antique business.
Antique and paintings
always changed hands.
Without any particulars and name list,
the seller couldn't remember them all.
He was ten years old back then.
His dad died and was accused
as a corrupt cop.
The public was all over the case, too.
He had to bear with a lot of pressure.
That's why he misunderstood me.
I explained to him
and he wouldn't listen to me.
Ms. Wang,
please mediate between us.
He is very smart.
But he is attacking me.
I find it very annoying.
I guarantee you.
I have nothing to do with the case
involving Chan and Old Yen.
Wang Chiang-ta misunderstood me.
Jen-i, excuse me.
Have you seen Chiang-wei or Si-te?
-Do you want to know?
-Yes.
Let me tell you.
The three of us worked together
the whole morning.
We were about to go for coffee
during noon break,
but someone showed up
and invited us for tea.
But I realized that they did not...
invite me!
Who showed up and invited them?
My future father-in-law.
I'm still trying to mingle with him.
That's Si-te's father.
Lien Chong-yen.
Lien Chong-yen brought them out
for afternoon tea?
And Chiang-wei joined them?
Where are they?
Do you have a pen and paper?
No. Just tell me.
The address where they're having tea...
has nothing to do with me!
I thought you would care for me.
No wonder Chiang-ta insisted to
cross-check with Kuan Ching-ching.
He was getting back our painting.
He wants to prove
that his father was innocent.
Even if your dad did wrong,
it has nothing to do with you.
Why did you not tell me?
Chiang-wei, are you okay?
Chiang-wei.
Chiang-wei.
Are you worried
about what my dad told you?
I shouldn't have agreed
to have tea with him.
He could go directly to Chiang-ta
to solve the problems.
Teacher Si-te.
There's something I'm not telling you.
I want to tell you now.
What's the matter?
Your dad mentioned about
the robbery and arson case 23 years ago.
The victim was the Wang family
antique dealer.
That's my family.
Your family?
Does Wang Chiang-ta know that?
He...
BIG CAT
Are you okay?
I am fine.
Tseng Jen-i told me that you and Si-te
went out with Lien Chong-yen.
Chiang-wei, can you be careful?
Teacher Si-te was with me. It was okay.
I think that
Mr. Lien is not like what you described.
You don't know his real personality.
The point is...
things are not what they seem to be.
You are right.
Things are not what they seem to be.
Everybody has his or her own secrets.
There are things
we don't want to disclose.
Why did he suddenly ask you
for afternoon tea?
They went out as father and daughter.
They chatted.
I accompanied Teacher Si-te.
But I discovered your secret.
Why did you say he is a criminal?
You think I have no evidence
to prove your dad's crime?
Whatever the outcome is,
I will hold your hand until the end.
Things are going smoothly
according to plan.
Do you know that your parents
were murdered
before the robbers set the house ablaze?
