Lion Pride (2017–…): Season 1, Episode 14 - Episode #1.14 - full transcript
Wang Chiang-ta's father
was a suspect in the case.
Through Si-te, we will be able to get
Lien Chong-yen's DNA.
No way. I can't do it.
I discovered your secret.
My dad came to see me and Chiang-wei.
He told us everything.
What's the matter?
Chiang-ta misunderstood him
and treated him as an accomplice.
Misunderstood?
Take a seat.
Did you listen to the details carefully?
My dad didn't have a part in it.
I worry that you'd be influenced
by Chiang-ta so I'm telling you now.
Don't worry.
Prosecutors work
according to the evidence.
Was Chiang-ta's father really a suspect
in that case 23 years ago?
I trust Chiang-ta's insistence
and judgment.
I believe that Mr. Wang was innocent.
I trust my father as well.
Let me discover the truth for you all.
Don't listen to Fei's nonsense.
As I said, we have our way.
According to Article 180
of The Code of Criminal Procedure,
spouses, lineal blood relatives,
and up to third degree of relationship
can actually refuse to testify.
This is the sensibility of law.
To have a daughter testify
against her father by getting his DNA
is too cruel.
I don't want to testify against him.
As I said, I believe in his innocence.
I hope you can also trust my father
like you trust Chiang-ta's.
I have to do this to win your trust.
What if you get discovered?
I will never be discovered.
You may take my DNA sample.
If you can prove that the suspect's DNA
has blood relationship with me,
you may persuade the judge
to grant you a search warrant
so that you can verify things
further, right?
Si-te.
You are really kind-hearted.
But I'm really worried you might be hurt.
Won't you protect me?
I will protect you.
You wrote me this credit note.
I don't need redeem it
to make you say something, right?
I keep making you wait
until I find out the truth.
But I can't promise a date.
Big Cat.
I want you to be frank with me.
There are many types of secrets.
Some...
come with imperfection.
What's the big deal about imperfection?
"There is a crack in everything.
That's how the light gets in."
I am quoting from a Canadian poet.
All right.
It's your birthday today.
I've invited our friends
to celebrate with you.
I promise you
I will tell you everything by then.
Chiang-wei, happy birthday.
Thank you for celebrating my birthday.
Chiang-ta.
I wish that you may experience again
the joy of celebrating your birthday.
And the significance of a birthday.
All right. Don't be so lovely.
Chiang-wei, make a wish.
Sure.
I'll make my wishes now.
First,
I hope that I'm not the only one
with a happy birthday.
I wish my friends around me
have happy birthdays, too.
Chiang-ta, her first wish is for you.
Not bad.
Second, I want a full-time teaching job.
You will make it.
I'll keep the third wish in my heart.
I wish that for my birthday every year,
Big Cat will be with me.
All right.
-Blow the candles.
-Okay.
-Happy birthday.
-Happy birthday.
Hello, good food for everyone.
-For Chiang-wei.
-Sure.
Happy birthday.
Kiss the birthday girl.
-French kiss.
-French kiss.
Oh, wow. Great.
Have you taken everything?
Let me send you home.
Drive safe.
Look at them.
-Are we leaving?
-Yeah, we're leaving.
-Bye.
-Be careful. Bye.
-Bye.
-Bye.
Don't go home without getting drunk!
-All right.
-Bye!
-Look after my shop. I'll bring Chian up.
-Sure.
-Look after my shop.
-But I want to chat with them.
All right. You have classes tomorrow.
-Good night.
-Be careful.
-Good night.
-All right. Good night.
This is for you.
Birthday gift?
My boyfriend bought me
the first birthday gift.
How meaningful.
Open it up.
Is it a necklace?
This is...
our mathematical formula.
Sine squared plus cosine squared
equals one.
This represents you and me.
When we are together,
we are combined as 1.
So we are not 1 plus 1 equals 2.
Instead, we are 0.5 plus 0.5 to make 1.
Each of us gives up half of ourselves
before we can be combined
and become complete.
That's right.
Thank you.
Chiang-wei, I think I am ready.
I wish to...
make your birthday wish come true.
Before I fulfill your wish,
I have to be frank about something.
So that when we get along in the future,
I can feel at ease and be honest with you.
Big Cat,
what I care about is the trust
and interdependence between us.
If this secret puts you
in a difficult position,
you don't have to tell me.
No way.
I have to overcome this.
Chiang-wei,
23 years ago,
my dad was investigating
the case of your family.
When he was hunting the criminals,
he died.
The place where he died
was the place where the suspects
distributed their stolen goods.
Chan Ting-hsuan was the only suspect
who was arrested.
He said that Chief was among them.
He insisted that Chief was a cop.
My dad was then wronged as a corrupt cop.
The dark shadow overwhelmed our family.
Because of the incident,
my mom got depressed and passed away.
As I was growing up,
I was called the son of a corrupt cop.
I bear the accusation until now.
Therefore,
I told...
I told myself and my father
that I will find out the truth one day.
I will clear my dad's name.
I have been investigating this case
all this time.
I want to clear my dad's name.
I see.
Thank you for being honest with me.
This is important for me.
I'm sorry.
Sorry. I couldn't...
tell you when I first learned
about our identities.
Because...
you are important to me.
I'm afraid I might lose you.
So, over this period of time,
I am careful about the things between us.
I would like to tell you.
Like you,
I believe in the innocence of Mr. Wang.
The people and matters that you trust,
they have my trust as well.
So, between us,
there should be
no more secrets. All right?
Sure.
Thank you.
I believe that things
would turn for the better.
We will discover the truth.
I believe that Mr. Lien can understand
your hard work.
What did Lien Chong-yen
tell you and Si-te the other day?
Mr. Lien said that you looked for him
to prove your father's innocence.
He couldn't do anything
because he knew nothing.
You were angry
and created trouble for him.
Chiang-wei, do you trust his words?
I have no idea.
That was what he just told me.
Hsiao Tieh must have some evidence.
But he can't disclose details
of the investigation.
I worry for Teacher Si-te.
So I thought I should help out.
But actually,
Hsiao Tieh and I
have nearly confirmed
that Lien Chong-yen is suspicious.
It's just that...
we can't disclose some of the evidence.
But the truth is about to be unveiled.
Please promise me.
Don't get in touch with
Lien Chong-yen anymore, okay?
Since you worry about it,
I will promise you.
Children have shorter steps.
Also,
I probably played along the way.
That would have taken a longer time.
No matter how I counted it,
it was still around 20 minutes.
Chiang-ta, where is your dad?
He went after the bad guys.
I told him to come home earlier today.
What time is it now? Going after bad guys?
The show starts now.
Was it that late?
Did I remember it wrong?
Even if I remember the wrong time,
when the cartoon show started,
it must be after 6 p.m.
Mom.
Your dad is late again today.
He's always late.
When does he come home early?
Why is it so difficult to be a cop's wife?
The home does not belong to me alone.
Being a father is more than
just paying monthly family expenses.
Dad is a cop. He has to go after bad guys.
And going after bad guys
makes him a good person?
Mom, please don't say that.
One day, your dad came home late.
He adjusted the time on his watch.
I was almost fooled by him.
Dad adjusted the time on his watch?
Was it true?
If this was the case,
the time would have been...
Chiang-ta.
This morning, Lien Chong-yen
was hospitalized
due to irregular heartbeat.
He talked nonsense
in front of the reporters.
This morning,
Lien Chong-yen, a controversial
city council election candidate,
was hospitalized
due to irregular heartbeat.
He released a press statement
to all reporters,
claiming judicial persecution.
Let's listen to what he has to say.
The prosecutors have been
searching my office.
They have affected my election campaign.
My investigation revealed
that this is all
because of Wang Chiang-ta.
He is a Math professor
who is assisting the police investigation.
In fact,
he is the son of Wang Yu-ming,
the cop who was involved in
the Wang family murder case 23 years ago.
He disliked the fact that
his father was accused of corruption.
So he dragged me in the trouble.
Prosecutor Tieh Pu-fan
is his good friend since school days.
Not only did he not stay away,
he's willing to be used by Wang.
There could be someone behind the scene.
I suspect my opponents set me up.
Police and prosecutors
being used as political tools,
I feel sorry about it.
Who would trust his words?
This is really fake.
Hospitalized but making public statement?
Let me tell you.
He's faking his illness.
Lien Chong-yen feels apprehensive now.
That's why he's doing such a cheap trick.
His intention is obvious.
He's trying to give you a heavy blow.
He told the world that your dad
is involved in the Wang family
murder case.
I've been telling myself this
for a long time.
I must be stronger so that nothing
could affect the calmness in my heart.
To show a smile
in front of the people you hate,
this is a disgusting thing
we need to learn.
A lion with shortcomings is still a lion.
A perfect fly
is still a fly.
Lien Chong-yen,
do you think you can twist
the pathetic fate of others?
Lien Chong-yen...
is provoking you directly.
He even mentioned
the Wang family murder case.
Where is Chiang-wei?
She went out to buy breakfast.
Luckily, she didn't watch the news.
Otherwise...
Bye.
Ms. Wang Chiang-wei?
-Ms. Wang Chiang-wei?
-Ms. Wang Chiang-wei?
Wang Chiang-ta's dad is involved in
your parents' murder case. Do you know?
My parents' murder case?
Wang Bo-yi was killed by Chan Ting-hsuan.
Kao Yu-ci was shot to death.
If Yu-ming was an accomplice,
then he was one of the murder suspects.
What murder suspects? What are you
talking about? I don't get it.
Your parents were murdered
before the robbers burned the house.
Are you now dating the suspect's son
because you have forgiven the robbers?
Mr. Reporter,
let me explain.
My family's house got burned
in a fire accident.
My parents died in the fire.
-Not related to--
-Not really.
The police record was clear.
Wang Bo-yi was stabbed in his stomach.
He died of excessive bleeding.
Kao Yu-ci died of excessive bleeding
after being shot.
She died out of shock.
Chiang-wei.
Come over here, Chiang-wei!
I don't want to know it.
Wang Chiang-ta always comes
to your rescue.
Is it because he feels guilty?
You're in love with a suspect's son.
Can you share the story?
-Get lost!
-Chiang-ta.
Step back!
Do not cross the line. Let me remind you.
Maintain a standard, would you?
Which news outlet do you work for?
Mr. Lien.
Things are going smoothly
according to plan.
Great.
It seems like...
I can hardly win the election.
However,
Wang Chiang-ta
will have a price to pay.
What price is it?
Dad, even your health
can't take it anymore.
What price are you thinking about?
All right. My lovely daughter.
I'll do less work.
If I can let it go, I will.
Dad.
Why did you accuse Hsiao Tieh
in front of TV reporters?
Who is Hsiao Tieh?
Prosecutor Tieh.
Don't mention him.
Dad, tell me about the misunderstanding
between you two.
I can help mediate.
But you must not tell the world.
You might hurt many people.
Dad, are you okay?
My medicine.
Okay.
May I know the room number
of Mr. Lien Chong-yen?
Over there.
Do you feel better?
Thank you.
Lien Chong-yen.
It has been a long while.
Hsun.
Mr. Hsun?
Do you two know each other?
Yeah.
It turns out...
-you are his daughter.
-Yes.
Mr. Hsun.
Have you visited Chiang-wei?
Hsiao Tieh told me that Chiang-wei
is not feeling well.
She is also hospitalized here.
No.
I came here to visit your father.
All right.
You two may chat now.
I'll visit Chiang-wei.
Hsun, I didn't expect
that you'll visit me at the hospital.
Hasn't it been agreed...
that we won't interfere with each other?
If you don't get on my nerves.
What now?
When did I get on your nerves?
Let me warn you.
Do not disturb Chiang-ta.
If Chiang-ta is harmed,
I will fight fiercely against you.
Hello, ma'am?
She's okay.
The doctor said that she could be
discharged when she is stable.
Chiang-ta.
Let me ask you for a favor.
Please bear in mind.
Do not let Chiang-wei
remember bad memories.
I understand.
I won't let her think about what happened
in the past.
It turns out that Chiang-ta
is listening to my aunt.
Both of them are keeping me in the dark.
I have always thought
that I only saw that in my dream.
As I recall now,
it didn't seem to be a dream.
All right. Bye.
Is Chiang-wei taking a rest now?
Is she okay?
What now?
Is Chiang-wei okay?
What's the matter?
What's the matter?
Chiang-wei falls ill because your dad
talked nonsense on the TV news.
My dad?
My dad said the same thing to her
in the cafe.
But she wasn't like this.
Si-te, don't you find it strange?
Many incidents happening recently
involve your dad.
Don't you know that?
Chiang-ta, enough.
As I told you,
Si-te is not related to such matter.
Don't take your anger out on her.
Dates before mates.
What did you say?
You're the one who lost your head
because of Chiang-wei.
The Wang Chiang-ta that I know
is a sensible
and rational person.
Where did he go?
Do you want to carry on like this?
Tieh Pu-fan, take a look carefully.
Chiang-wei is lying down here
because I wasn't able to protect her.
She is suffering because Lien Chong-yen
was talking nonsense.
Can't I ask Si-te
to explain to her father?
Why don't you talk
to Lien Chong-yen yourself?
Hsiao Tieh.
All right, Chiang-ta.
I'll ask my dad.
Please give me some time, okay?
I'll resolve your misunderstanding.
All right?
Sure.
Please remind your father
that I am warning him
not to look for Wang Chiang-wei anymore.
That's right.
Mr. Lien knows a lot
about things that I don't know.
Sorry for what happened just now.
Chiang-ta is always straightforward.
That's his personality.
Since our senior high school days,
he was already irritating.
Our classmates, teachers,
drillmasters, and headmaster,
as well as janitors,
they all disliked him.
Even the lady boss selling
fried chicken chop and bubble tea
disliked him a lot.
Nobody cared for what he said.
So you shouldn't...
mind his words.
You know how we became good friends?
This is hilarious. Let me tell you.
When we were going home after class,
I was listening to GTM
over my Walkman player.
Chiang-ta thought I didn't leave
because I was listening to him.
He was so moved.
He even said we'll be lifetime brothers.
Hsiao Tieh, the DNA that I provided.
Has the test report been released?
It is ongoing now.
However, once the report is out,
the truth is the truth.
If it points to your dad's disadvantage,
you must be prepared for it.
Sine squared plus cosine squared
equals one.
We are combined as one.
Everything that's happened
made me realize
that I care about you more than I thought.
Chiang-wei,
you are my bottom line.
Excuse me, Mr. Wang.
We need more information from you.
Okay.
Lien Chong-yen.
Our feelings and our future
will never be twisted by you.
Chiang-ta and Aunt
would not tell me the truth, would they?
Chiang-wei?
Lawyer Ma.
Mr. Lien.
I was told that you are also hospitalized.
Are you all right?
I am recovering well.
I need to ask you something.
I wonder if it is convenient for you.
What's the matter? You may tell me.
It's about my family's case 23 years ago.
Okay, let's talk outside.
Enough is enough. Do you understand that?
Wang Chiang-ta.
A gifted Math professor.
I was about to interview you
about the Wang family murder case.
You have firsthand information.
You asked me so many questions,
let me ask you now.
You looked for Wang Chiang-wei
as instructed by Lien Chong-yen, right?
I am just really curious.
The son of a suspect fell in love
with the daughter of the victims.
How did it start?
You know what?
I am different from you.
I like to say a few words.
One is, "None of my business."
And the other is, "None of your business."
So I save up 85 percent of my time
to work on meaningful matters.
You might as well learn this.
Chief's son truly talks like a master.
Stop the nonsense.
Let me tell you.
From now on,
stay away from Wang Chiang-wei.
Please inform Lien Chong-yen.
For the sake of the truth,
as well as to protect Chiang-wei,
when it is necessary,
I will turn into a devil
to bring down another devil.
For the truth,
I'll have the greatest courage.
Your dad's antique business
was running well.
During a small auction,
he sold a lot of stuff.
Some buyers paid in cash.
So,
he asked the police to protect him.
The cop who was tasked to protect him
had the chance to enter your house.
He saw the assets in the house
and wanted to steal them.
He then planned with Chan Ting-hsuan.
They were planning
to break into an empty house.
But unexpectedly,
your parents returned.
They had a fight.
Your parents...
were murdered.
So,
the cop who was tasked
to protect my dad...
He was...
The cop was Chief.
Chiang-wei, from my judgment,
Wang Chiang-ta's father was Chief.
Wang Yu-ming.
Also,
Wang Yu-ming died at the scene.
An item from your house
was found on his dead body.
Do you know that?
This item...
is still kept by the police.
You may ask a prosecutor,
and check with him.
I know it now.
Thank you, Mr. Lien.
What did Wang Chiang-ta say?
All this while,
I want to prove my dad's innocence.
I feel like if I can't prove it,
I can't face you.
But...
I have an evidence to prove it.
However,
as you know,
the case took place 23 years ago.
I was going home after school.
My dad and I agreed to meet
at the riverbank.
There was a man who ran past us.
I saw he that had a gun.
I told my dad.
And my dad went after him.
I am sure that he did.
And he died because of that.
In fact,
I still remember my dad's silhouette.
I sometimes ask myself.
Had I kept quiet about the matter,
maybe he would still be okay right now?
Do you remember Black Devil?
When Black Devil was arrested,
I asked him about the time
they committed the crime.
With the answer that he told me,
I am firmer that...
the time they committed the crime
was the time I was with my dad
at the riverbank.
So I know my evidence is reasonable.
My dad wasn't the murderer.
And I was the eyewitness.
I could prove my dad's alibi.
All this time, since I was little,
I kept telling everybody about this.
But nobody wanted to trust
what a boy said.
Therefore,
I need some time
to prove my dad's innocence.
Chiang-ta said
that he believes Chief was not his dad.
He personally saw his dad
go after the criminal.
He could prove his dad's alibi.
I remember...
before Wang Yu-ming arrived,
I ran into a boy in the tunnel.
It turns out...
that boy was Wang Chiang-ta.
That's right.
It matches with what Chan Ting-hsuan said.
Chan and Chief planned it all back then.
However, given Chief's special identity,
he needed to create an alibi.
He led them
into the house of the Wang family.
Then he left shortly.
As I listen to this,
Wang Yu-ming didn't spend
much time at Wang family's house.
He had a chance to create an alibi.
Chiang-wei, I've bought you food.
Chiang-wei.
Are you okay?
Do you feel well?
I looked for your dad just now.
Did my dad say anything worrying?
Chiang-wei, don't let him affect you.
Things are unclear now. So you still need
to trust Chiang-ta, okay?
I spoke to Mr. Lien,
and I have been thinking a lot.
I am thinking
that even if...
Mr. Wang was Chief,
it had nothing to do with Chiang-ta.
I do hope Mr. Wang was not Chief.
However,
if he was Chief,
I don't think that would stop me
from loving Chiang-ta.
That would be great.
Chiang-ta.
Why is she here?
She bought me food.
The boyfriend is here now.
I'll return your girlfriend now.
I'll go now. Bye.
If I tell Chiang-ta
that I met with Mr. Lien,
he will be unhappy.
I'd better tell him later.
Oh, yeah.
The doctor told me
that you can be discharged
if you are okay tomorrow.
That's great.
Give me your hand.
What now?
Lie down and I will tell you.
I want my Big Cat to take a rest with me.
It is wasteful if one didn't do
crazy things during young age.
I was naive when I was young.
I was easy to influence.
But ever since I corrected my ways,
I have only been doing good deeds.
Dad just went astray when he was young.
I should not suspect him.
The Chief...
planned the robbery and created a tragedy.
He died.
Which served him right.
There's something else
I haven't told you.
What's the matter?
I fainted
because of lung cancer.
Let's see...
for how long I could survive.
Dad, please don't say that.
You'll be just fine, all right?
The thing I worry about
is you.
My biggest wish
is to see you get married happily.
I want to hold your hand
and pass it to the man
who will protect you
for the rest of your life.
But I wonder if I could wait for it.
Dad, don't talk about this. All right?
You will be treated.
You will be just fine, okay?
You will be fine.
There must be a solution.
Did the doctor make a mistake?
All thanks to you,
I became a complete person.
I fell asleep.
It doesn't matter.
Thank you.
No problem.
Chiang-ta,
I want to ask you something.
If...
I'm just saying if.
If...
the truth that you discover
says that your father
was not what you thought him to be,
what would you do?
Don't you worry.
It is 95 percent likely that
my dad was not Chief.
But in this the world,
there are many exceptions.
Could it be possible that Mr. Lien and you
have misunderstood each other?
Why do you ask this all of sudden?
Did Lien Chong-yen come to see you today?
What did he say?
I actually went to see him.
He told me that he didn't take part
in the case.
Also,
Chief...
led Chan Ting-hsuan
and the gang into the house.
And he left shortly.
So it was possible for him
to create an alibi.
Let me tell you.
Lien Chong-yen is a born liar.
He talks a lot but nothing is true.
Chiang-wei, I will prove it.
I will prove to you
that my dad was not Chief.
Chiang-ta.
You don't need to prove anything to me.
You know what?
I lost everything since I was a kid.
Because of you,
I feel loved again.
I don't want any issue
to separate us.
This matter happened a long time ago.
Whether Mr. Wang was Chief or not,
my love for you will not change.
I don't want you
to be troubled by the case all the time.
Thank you.
I know that It's me.
It started with my problem.
I didn't tell you everything earlier.
You might feel insecure about my identity.
But I promise you that this matter
will be over soon.
Let me prove
that my dad was not Chief.
After that,
we will no longer be troubled
by these matters.
We'll live together.
All right?
Lien Chong-yen refused
to provide DNA. What a trouble.
How is it?
We are discussing about something.
It is troublesome.
Related to Lien Chong-yen?
Is there a way to prove
that he is Boss Sheng-li?
That's all we're missing now
to make the case move forward.
Let's move it.
Chiang-ta,
Lien Chong-yen is not a suspect
in any case right now.
Fei, please tell him.
Our superior has been pressuring us.
He wants us to drop the case.
Prosecutor Tieh is telling the truth.
Fei, please also tell him.
I am communicating with my superior.
Communicating.
That's right. Fei and I both want to
resolve all cases.
Do you get what I mean?
Prosecutor Tieh, he gets it.
Good job.
The painting.
With Chiang-wei's DNA, it is verified
that the blood on the painting
belonged to her father, Wang Bo-yi.
We now focus on
the blood fingerprint on the painting.
Whose fingerprint was that?
The blood fingerprint was cross-checked
with those of Chiang-wei's parents.
It was not theirs.
-It didn't match with Chan or Yen.
-That's right.
We don't exclude
that it could be Lien Chong-yen's.
Lien Chong-yen refused to provide DNA.
And he is not a suspect.
We can't force him to do so.
I'll come up with a solution again.
The point is,
the truth lies in the identity
of Lien Chong-yen.
I must come up with an idea
to prove that Lien was Boss Sheng-li.
The calm Chiang-ta.
If you think of all the problems
as math questions,
you will be stronger.
What's the background
of Lien Chong-yen? Gangster.
He can't get rid of his criminal nature.
He dodged the soy sauce factory case.
Now he's pretending to be sick to dodge
criminal investigation.
What nonsense is this
political commentary talking about?
Mr. Lien!
Are you okay?
Why are you here?
Well, I came to visit you.
I have some fruits for Mr. Lien.
The flower is for you.
Go and arrange the flowers.
Mr. Lien.
As soon as I saw the news that you were
in the hospital, I came to see you.
Stop your nonsense.
Mr. Lien.
Your comment is mean. I came to visit you.
Before this, it was all...
my duty.
Please forgive me
if I am disturbing you.
Several days ago,
Chief Prosecutor Liao showed his concern.
I realized that I have offended
Mr. Lien many times.
I felt terrible about this.
I got more worried
when you were hospitalized.
On behalf of Chief Prosecutor Liao,
I would like to apologize to you.
All right.
I don't make a fuss over minor things.
-You may take it easy.
-Thank you.
Well, I have
a presumptuous request.
I hope you will help
with our investigation.
We need you to provide fingerprints
so that we can close our files.
Those are needed from criminals.
I am not a criminal.
Why do I need to provide them?
That's right.
Because you didn't commit a crime,
you can provide fingerprints
without any worries, right?
You're talking nonsense.
Mr. Lien, think about it.
Media outlets are reporting
their stories anyhow they like.
If the matter leaked out,
and others accuse you of not cooperating
with investigators,
they might accuse you
of having mischievous motive
to refuse to be checked.
They wrote derogatory words
to affect your election.
When your opponents learn about this,
they will create a lot of slander.
Some of your constituents
might have some other ideas.
If Lien Chong-yen refuses
to be investigated,
his motive would even be clearer.
He wants to cover up for his crime.
Why can't they investigate you when
you do nothing wrong? That's fishy.
News reports nowadays are really...
These are irresponsible
political commentators.
A clean and righteous politician
is slandered and defamed just like that.
How pitiful.
I would just like to give you
a suggestion, Mr. Lien.
I know you are telling the truth.
You are not involved in those cases.
Since you didn't commit a crime,
provide your fingerprints
to close the cases.
You will clear your name.
Isn't this killing
two birds with one stone?
Chan killed Kuan Ching-ching.
Ah Bin attacked Chan.
I didn't get my hands dirty.
I didn't leave any evidence.
Furthermore, the Wang family
murder case 23 years ago
is still an unresolved case.
The fire burned all the evidence.
I should be just fine.
SELF-SERVICE FINGERPRINT CARD
Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Lien.
I am Lien Chong-yen.
I am a righteous and ethical person.
I am innocent.
Yes. I believe in your innocence as well.
Don't worry.
HSIAO TIEH
Great job, Mr. Chiang-ta.
How did you calculate the probability?
Why are you sure
Lien Chong-yen will be trapped?
Fei, let me tell you.
Lien Chong-yen is the classic case
of a sore loser.
I observed him all this while.
His personality is very obvious.
He wants to keep his image untarnished.
He cuts ties with all crime and mistakes.
He has a strong motive.
He would do dirty tricks
to achieve his goal.
He is very confident.
That's right.
When he drafted a plan,
he dislikes it
when someone interrupts him.
Lien Chong-yen's popularity is declining.
His election campaign doesn't look good.
So we are merely his secondary enemy.
Public perception is his major concern.
That's right.
What is Lien Chong-yen's weakness?
This is a popular
political commentary program.
The show runs at 1 p.m.
from Mondays to Fridays.
Some programs run
at 10 p.m. every Saturday.
They open the hotline for call in.
So,
you like political commentary programs?
My point is this,
let Lien watch this program
and that would be fine.
I get what you mean.
Fake an illness to gain attention.
More ridiculous than TV dramas.
The old dog in Lien Chong-yen
can't play new tricks.
Hello, Mr. Hsia from Taoyuan.
Hello, Mr. Hsia. What's your comment?
-Hello, host. I think that Mr. Lien...
-Get up!
-said he was innocent.
-What's going on?
But he declined police investigation.
Given his act and reaction,
he feels apprehensive now.
If he is innocent, why can't
he cooperate with the investigators?
Can a person like him stand
in the election?
Can we trust him?
Who is this Mr. Hsia from Taoyuan?
This is nonsense!
Boss, mind your blood pressure.
Mr. Lien!
Nice, bro.
We will now check who Boss Sheng-li is.
The test report is out.
Blood fingerprints on the painting
and Lien Chong-yen's fingerprints
matched perfectly.
However,
how did he leave the blood fingerprints?
As Old Yen said,
when they were in the middle
of the robbery,
Mr. and Mrs. Wang came home.
Chan Ting-hsuan and Wang Bo-yi
started a fight.
Chan Ting-hsuan stabbed
and killed Mr. Wang.
Boss Sheng-li fired a shot
and killed Mrs. Wang.
And my judgment is,
Chan's hands were full of blood.
He passed the painting to Boss Sheng-li.
Boss Sheng-li took it with his right hand.
He left his fingerprints there.
His fingerprint was shallow.
You would need to check it
with special light source.
Lien Chong-yen didn't know
his fingerprints were on it.
The case created a lot of mess.
The news reported it.
Lien Chong-yen wanted to sell
the stolen goods.
Because blood tainted the painting,
he then kept it in his safe.
He planned to take it out
when the case died down.
He waited for more than 20 years.
During his election campaign,
he organized a charity auction.
He thought of the painting,
which did not appear in the market.
It was Pu Hsin-yu's authentic work.
It would fetch a good price.
So he took it out.
On the left side of the painting,
the painter's autograph was not tainted.
He cut the tainted part and reframed it.
He brought it to the auction.
You wouldn't know it was cut,
unless you had seen the genuine version.
Kuan Ching-ching called me.
She told me that she stole one-third
of the blood-tainted painting.
Out of curiosity, she stole the other
two-thirds from the auction venue.
Which was why she was murdered.
Oh, I see.
On the painting,
there are blood fingerprints
of the victims and Chan Ting-hsuan,
as well as Lien Chong-yen.
Linking these matters together,
we can prove that
Lien Chong-yen was lying.
He did not buy and left
his fingerprints on it.
He left his fingerprints
at the crime scene.
That's right.
Along with Old Yen's statement,
Lien Chong-yen can never escape.
Let us quickly arrest
the cunning Boss Sheng-li.
Lien Chong-yen.
You have been at large for so long.
-We can finally arrest you.
-Prosecutor Tieh.
Prosecutor Tieh, are you okay?
Do you feel unwell?
Not really.
I am just...
thinking about Si-te.
I think that...
I have to take care of some things
before I arrest Lien Chong-yen.
Hsiao Tieh.
Dorothy once told me.
If you care for a person a lot,
that person will feel it.
I'm sure you'll be fine.
Buck up.
Chiang-ta,
your words...
moved me.
But it is sickening.
Disgusting.
You'd better look for your Dorothy.
-Big Cat. Meow.
-Meow.
Get to the case now.
Is he mad now?
Chiang-ta.
Teacher Si-te.
Are you waiting for someone?
I am waiting for Chiang-ta.
-Done with your procedure?
-Yeah.
Why do you look unhappy?
Si-te.
Mr. Lien...
Is your father feeling better now?
He's not very well.
But he can be discharged tomorrow.
I understand.
Chiang-ta.
My dad is not a bad guy.
He said that the crime started
with Chan Ting-hsuan and Chief.
They planned it and he was not involved.
Can you just talk to him
about your misunderstandings?
Stop fighting with him.
Si-te, some matters are not
what you have imagined.
For me, your father is a criminal
still at large.
I can't sit down and discuss with him.
What evidence do you have
to call him a criminal?
Would I not have evidence? Just recently,
he told the world
that my dad was a criminal.
I have the evidence to prove otherwise.
Do you think I have no evidence
to prove your dad's crime?
Where is your evidence?
-Why are you calling him a criminal?
-All right.
At this critical moment,
let's not get caught up in our emotions.
Police and prosecutors
will handle the case.
Chiang-ta has his own stance.
He did not say that with bad intention.
Everybody has a stance.
As Chiang-wei said,
I need to think more about
our friends' happiness.
Si-te, I...
I didn't mean to argue with you.
I'm sorry.
Chiang-wei, let's go.
Hello?
Right now?
Thank you, Mr. Hsun.
I've really needed this lately.
Why isn't Chiang-ta with you?
Chiang-ta has some work at the school.
Si-te.
Sorry about what happened earlier.
Chiang-ta's is really straightforward.
That's his personality.
That's right.
I apologize to you on behalf of Chiang-ta.
No problem. Don't you worry. I don't mind.
It's all right.
There must be some misunderstanding
between them.
I trust my dad.
Hsiao Tieh.
Did the DNA prove that my dad
wasn't involved in the case?
The DNA that you provided
helped the forensic department a lot.
He was cleared from some suspicious parts.
But it didn't completely rule out
the possibility
that he is involved in the case.
So are you working from the presumption
that he is a criminal?
Not really.
Are you going to continue
to prove he's guilty
so that you could prove your presumption?
Is this how you do your job?
Don't you have to start
by assuming that he's innocent?
Si-te.
Hsiao Tieh, I was wrong about you.
Teacher Si-te.
Teacher Si-te.
Si-te.
Can I say something?
What do you have to say?
I'm a criminal's daughter.
We have different stances.
Don't get near me.
It is normal to have different stances.
Can't we just talk properly?
Do you want me to change my stance?
You can change it. Can you change?
I can't change my profession.
I can't change my stance.
But what I really want to change
right now is...
What do I have to do
so that you don't feel sad?
I'd like to ask, how could I not feel sad?
My favorite man is about to charge
and imprison my lovely father.
How could I not feel sad?
What did you just say?
-How could I not feel sad?
-Not that.
The next one.
That's right. I like you. What about that?
But whatever there was between us,
it's over. Do you understand?
It's all over.
All right.
But before we really end things,
let me share my idea.
After that, we can go our separate ways.
When I wake up every morning,
I would check my cell phone.
I want to see if there are phone calls
and text messages from you.
Because I am eager to see you.
I intentionally go around
your tutorial school
and your home.
I'm trying my luck to run into you.
I know you are a kind-hearted woman.
But you've been pretending to be strong
to hide your loneliness.
You hide all your unhappiness
deep in your heart.
You don't share it with anyone.
I know all about it.
That's why I worry about you.
That's right.
Our relationship is complicated now.
I'm scared to face you.
I care a lot about you.
But I have to act cool.
I don't know what to do.
Because you have occupied my thoughts.
Because of you, I can't focus on my work.
Si-te.
I like you.
I've liked you for a long time.
So before we even get started,
I can't let you say that it's over.
Lien Si-te.
As a prosecutor, I beg you
to be responsible for something.
What is it?
When you feel down,
let me accompany you.
In the future,
let me take care of you.
But let me tell you.
Whatever the outcome is,
the truth is the only way
to achieve forgiveness.
The pathway may be hard
and tormenting.
It is painful.
It is tiring.
We might feel helpless.
But I promise you.
I will hold your hand.
I will hold your hand until the end.
Si-te,
you are kind-hearted.
But you must be stronger.
Mr. Lien.
-Are you going to stand in election?
-Excuse me.
Police on duty. Give way.
You guys again.
You're tailing me everywhere.
Lien Chong-yen.
Please follow us
to the district prosecutor office.
-I'm not free.
-District prosecutor office?
I'm afraid you have no say in this.
This isn't about cooperating
with investigators.
You are now under arrest.
Under arrest?
Mr. Prosecutor, I request
to be with my client.
You might as well sing and dance.
-Just don't overly interfere.
-Sure.
Mr. Lien.
Someone alleged that you were involved in
the robbery and arson case
of the Wang family 23 years ago.
What do you have to say
about this allegation?
The case back then was planned
by Chan Ting-hsuan and Chief.
Chan looked for me and asked me
to join them.
But I had already decided to abandon
all my wrong deeds,
so I didn't accept his idea.
I didn't take part.
Your statement contradicts
with what was told by Chan and Old Yen
when they were arrested.
Both of them said
that Boss Sheng-li approached them
separately to commit the crime.
They didn't meet Chief
until the day of the incident.
Are you lying?
That was a case more than 20 years ago.
It is normal for my client
to have forgotten something.
That doesn't mean he lied.
Hsiao Tieh, Lawyer Ma is here
to interrupt you. Ignore him.
I didn't do it. As simple as that.
I don't need to lie.
Someone alleged
that you were Boss Sheng-li.
This is a serious allegation.
If you have no evidence--
We have it.
We have the evidence.
I suggest that you be honest
to win better terms.
I did not take part in the crime.
It has nothing to do with me.
When Chan Ting-hsuan was attacked,
we arrested Yen Chang-tai as a suspect.
He claimed
that you made him talk.
So he made a false statement.
Is that true?
My client has the right to remain silent.
Let me carry on then.
Do you know this person?
Ma-sha.
According to the timeline
provided by Yen Chang-tai,
you visited Ma-sha's home.
You persuaded his wife to let you in
to plant forged evidence.
You paid her a huge sum of money
after the incident.
This is the passbook of Ma-sha's wife.
You transferred
eight million dollars to her.
We investigated, and it was
an account under her name
And you transferred to her.
She also admitted
that you persuaded and bribed her.
You colluded with Chan and Yen
to hide the truth
and let the dead Ma-sha
bear all the allegations.
Which means that on November 18, 1994,
you actually participated
in the robbery and arson case
of the Wang family.
My evidence also reveals
that you are what Chan and Yen
described as Boss Sheng-li.
Do you want to refute any of this?
Well, this...
If you don't have anything to say,
it's okay.
You claimed
that you did not take part
in the robbery and arson case.
I have an evidence to refute your alibi.
This is Pu Hsin-yu's painting.
It was split into two parts.
This was what you sold at the auction.
Looks familiar?
The other part was stolen by a thief
from your warehouse.
You wanted to check with me
who the thief was.
Kuan Ching-ching was the thief.
Which means...
this painting belonged to you.
The painting previously
belonged to Wang Bo-yi,
the head of Wang family.
The fire didn't burn the name list
which recorded the painting
under his name.
Did you steal the painting
from the crime scene?
I bought the painting.
This was how it looked like
when I bought it.
Lien Chong-yen, you are stubborn.
All right.
Did you see the bloodstain
on the painting?
On the painting,
other than the fingerprints
of Chan Ting-hsuan,
we found your fingerprints as well.
Those fingerprints prove
that you were at the crime scene.
The fingerprints were put
onto the painting at the crime scene.
They were not left on the painting
after it was sold.
We have checked the painting.
There is a shallow blood fingerprint.
Chan perhaps killed Wang Bo-yi,
and he passed the painting
to Boss Sheng-li.
Which is why Boss Sheng-li's
fingers touched it.
The fingerprint was shallow. It can only
be seen with special light source.
As we have cross-checked,
the blood fingerprint was a perfect match
with your right thumb.
Which proved you were at the crime scene.
Mr. Lien, this is a murder
and arson case. We are--
Lawyer Ma, there is nothing
you can do here.
You may leave now.
Get ready to go to court.
Yes, sir.
Prosecutor Tieh,
this is my private request.
May I have a word privately
with Wang Chiang-ta?
You two may have a chat.
Do not harm each other.
I mean, do not start a fight.
You must also stay calm.
I will monitor you from outside.
Don't mess around.
What do you want to tell me?
You have proven that I was Boss Sheng-li.
I will spend my remaining years
behind bars.
I might not have the chance to tell you.
I want to tell you
who Chief is.
His identity concerned you most.
Are you about to reveal his identity?
Well, don't you want to know?
Go ahead, please.
The truth is,
Chief was your father, Wang Yu-ming.
My dad's a criminal.
Aren't we incompatible to be together?
You want to give up?
Have you ever thought about how I feel?
The evidence is right there.
I don't know what to believe.
I love you a lot.
But I really can't repay your trust.
Subtitle translation by BK Yeow
was a suspect in the case.
Through Si-te, we will be able to get
Lien Chong-yen's DNA.
No way. I can't do it.
I discovered your secret.
My dad came to see me and Chiang-wei.
He told us everything.
What's the matter?
Chiang-ta misunderstood him
and treated him as an accomplice.
Misunderstood?
Take a seat.
Did you listen to the details carefully?
My dad didn't have a part in it.
I worry that you'd be influenced
by Chiang-ta so I'm telling you now.
Don't worry.
Prosecutors work
according to the evidence.
Was Chiang-ta's father really a suspect
in that case 23 years ago?
I trust Chiang-ta's insistence
and judgment.
I believe that Mr. Wang was innocent.
I trust my father as well.
Let me discover the truth for you all.
Don't listen to Fei's nonsense.
As I said, we have our way.
According to Article 180
of The Code of Criminal Procedure,
spouses, lineal blood relatives,
and up to third degree of relationship
can actually refuse to testify.
This is the sensibility of law.
To have a daughter testify
against her father by getting his DNA
is too cruel.
I don't want to testify against him.
As I said, I believe in his innocence.
I hope you can also trust my father
like you trust Chiang-ta's.
I have to do this to win your trust.
What if you get discovered?
I will never be discovered.
You may take my DNA sample.
If you can prove that the suspect's DNA
has blood relationship with me,
you may persuade the judge
to grant you a search warrant
so that you can verify things
further, right?
Si-te.
You are really kind-hearted.
But I'm really worried you might be hurt.
Won't you protect me?
I will protect you.
You wrote me this credit note.
I don't need redeem it
to make you say something, right?
I keep making you wait
until I find out the truth.
But I can't promise a date.
Big Cat.
I want you to be frank with me.
There are many types of secrets.
Some...
come with imperfection.
What's the big deal about imperfection?
"There is a crack in everything.
That's how the light gets in."
I am quoting from a Canadian poet.
All right.
It's your birthday today.
I've invited our friends
to celebrate with you.
I promise you
I will tell you everything by then.
Chiang-wei, happy birthday.
Thank you for celebrating my birthday.
Chiang-ta.
I wish that you may experience again
the joy of celebrating your birthday.
And the significance of a birthday.
All right. Don't be so lovely.
Chiang-wei, make a wish.
Sure.
I'll make my wishes now.
First,
I hope that I'm not the only one
with a happy birthday.
I wish my friends around me
have happy birthdays, too.
Chiang-ta, her first wish is for you.
Not bad.
Second, I want a full-time teaching job.
You will make it.
I'll keep the third wish in my heart.
I wish that for my birthday every year,
Big Cat will be with me.
All right.
-Blow the candles.
-Okay.
-Happy birthday.
-Happy birthday.
Hello, good food for everyone.
-For Chiang-wei.
-Sure.
Happy birthday.
Kiss the birthday girl.
-French kiss.
-French kiss.
Oh, wow. Great.
Have you taken everything?
Let me send you home.
Drive safe.
Look at them.
-Are we leaving?
-Yeah, we're leaving.
-Bye.
-Be careful. Bye.
-Bye.
-Bye.
Don't go home without getting drunk!
-All right.
-Bye!
-Look after my shop. I'll bring Chian up.
-Sure.
-Look after my shop.
-But I want to chat with them.
All right. You have classes tomorrow.
-Good night.
-Be careful.
-Good night.
-All right. Good night.
This is for you.
Birthday gift?
My boyfriend bought me
the first birthday gift.
How meaningful.
Open it up.
Is it a necklace?
This is...
our mathematical formula.
Sine squared plus cosine squared
equals one.
This represents you and me.
When we are together,
we are combined as 1.
So we are not 1 plus 1 equals 2.
Instead, we are 0.5 plus 0.5 to make 1.
Each of us gives up half of ourselves
before we can be combined
and become complete.
That's right.
Thank you.
Chiang-wei, I think I am ready.
I wish to...
make your birthday wish come true.
Before I fulfill your wish,
I have to be frank about something.
So that when we get along in the future,
I can feel at ease and be honest with you.
Big Cat,
what I care about is the trust
and interdependence between us.
If this secret puts you
in a difficult position,
you don't have to tell me.
No way.
I have to overcome this.
Chiang-wei,
23 years ago,
my dad was investigating
the case of your family.
When he was hunting the criminals,
he died.
The place where he died
was the place where the suspects
distributed their stolen goods.
Chan Ting-hsuan was the only suspect
who was arrested.
He said that Chief was among them.
He insisted that Chief was a cop.
My dad was then wronged as a corrupt cop.
The dark shadow overwhelmed our family.
Because of the incident,
my mom got depressed and passed away.
As I was growing up,
I was called the son of a corrupt cop.
I bear the accusation until now.
Therefore,
I told...
I told myself and my father
that I will find out the truth one day.
I will clear my dad's name.
I have been investigating this case
all this time.
I want to clear my dad's name.
I see.
Thank you for being honest with me.
This is important for me.
I'm sorry.
Sorry. I couldn't...
tell you when I first learned
about our identities.
Because...
you are important to me.
I'm afraid I might lose you.
So, over this period of time,
I am careful about the things between us.
I would like to tell you.
Like you,
I believe in the innocence of Mr. Wang.
The people and matters that you trust,
they have my trust as well.
So, between us,
there should be
no more secrets. All right?
Sure.
Thank you.
I believe that things
would turn for the better.
We will discover the truth.
I believe that Mr. Lien can understand
your hard work.
What did Lien Chong-yen
tell you and Si-te the other day?
Mr. Lien said that you looked for him
to prove your father's innocence.
He couldn't do anything
because he knew nothing.
You were angry
and created trouble for him.
Chiang-wei, do you trust his words?
I have no idea.
That was what he just told me.
Hsiao Tieh must have some evidence.
But he can't disclose details
of the investigation.
I worry for Teacher Si-te.
So I thought I should help out.
But actually,
Hsiao Tieh and I
have nearly confirmed
that Lien Chong-yen is suspicious.
It's just that...
we can't disclose some of the evidence.
But the truth is about to be unveiled.
Please promise me.
Don't get in touch with
Lien Chong-yen anymore, okay?
Since you worry about it,
I will promise you.
Children have shorter steps.
Also,
I probably played along the way.
That would have taken a longer time.
No matter how I counted it,
it was still around 20 minutes.
Chiang-ta, where is your dad?
He went after the bad guys.
I told him to come home earlier today.
What time is it now? Going after bad guys?
The show starts now.
Was it that late?
Did I remember it wrong?
Even if I remember the wrong time,
when the cartoon show started,
it must be after 6 p.m.
Mom.
Your dad is late again today.
He's always late.
When does he come home early?
Why is it so difficult to be a cop's wife?
The home does not belong to me alone.
Being a father is more than
just paying monthly family expenses.
Dad is a cop. He has to go after bad guys.
And going after bad guys
makes him a good person?
Mom, please don't say that.
One day, your dad came home late.
He adjusted the time on his watch.
I was almost fooled by him.
Dad adjusted the time on his watch?
Was it true?
If this was the case,
the time would have been...
Chiang-ta.
This morning, Lien Chong-yen
was hospitalized
due to irregular heartbeat.
He talked nonsense
in front of the reporters.
This morning,
Lien Chong-yen, a controversial
city council election candidate,
was hospitalized
due to irregular heartbeat.
He released a press statement
to all reporters,
claiming judicial persecution.
Let's listen to what he has to say.
The prosecutors have been
searching my office.
They have affected my election campaign.
My investigation revealed
that this is all
because of Wang Chiang-ta.
He is a Math professor
who is assisting the police investigation.
In fact,
he is the son of Wang Yu-ming,
the cop who was involved in
the Wang family murder case 23 years ago.
He disliked the fact that
his father was accused of corruption.
So he dragged me in the trouble.
Prosecutor Tieh Pu-fan
is his good friend since school days.
Not only did he not stay away,
he's willing to be used by Wang.
There could be someone behind the scene.
I suspect my opponents set me up.
Police and prosecutors
being used as political tools,
I feel sorry about it.
Who would trust his words?
This is really fake.
Hospitalized but making public statement?
Let me tell you.
He's faking his illness.
Lien Chong-yen feels apprehensive now.
That's why he's doing such a cheap trick.
His intention is obvious.
He's trying to give you a heavy blow.
He told the world that your dad
is involved in the Wang family
murder case.
I've been telling myself this
for a long time.
I must be stronger so that nothing
could affect the calmness in my heart.
To show a smile
in front of the people you hate,
this is a disgusting thing
we need to learn.
A lion with shortcomings is still a lion.
A perfect fly
is still a fly.
Lien Chong-yen,
do you think you can twist
the pathetic fate of others?
Lien Chong-yen...
is provoking you directly.
He even mentioned
the Wang family murder case.
Where is Chiang-wei?
She went out to buy breakfast.
Luckily, she didn't watch the news.
Otherwise...
Bye.
Ms. Wang Chiang-wei?
-Ms. Wang Chiang-wei?
-Ms. Wang Chiang-wei?
Wang Chiang-ta's dad is involved in
your parents' murder case. Do you know?
My parents' murder case?
Wang Bo-yi was killed by Chan Ting-hsuan.
Kao Yu-ci was shot to death.
If Yu-ming was an accomplice,
then he was one of the murder suspects.
What murder suspects? What are you
talking about? I don't get it.
Your parents were murdered
before the robbers burned the house.
Are you now dating the suspect's son
because you have forgiven the robbers?
Mr. Reporter,
let me explain.
My family's house got burned
in a fire accident.
My parents died in the fire.
-Not related to--
-Not really.
The police record was clear.
Wang Bo-yi was stabbed in his stomach.
He died of excessive bleeding.
Kao Yu-ci died of excessive bleeding
after being shot.
She died out of shock.
Chiang-wei.
Come over here, Chiang-wei!
I don't want to know it.
Wang Chiang-ta always comes
to your rescue.
Is it because he feels guilty?
You're in love with a suspect's son.
Can you share the story?
-Get lost!
-Chiang-ta.
Step back!
Do not cross the line. Let me remind you.
Maintain a standard, would you?
Which news outlet do you work for?
Mr. Lien.
Things are going smoothly
according to plan.
Great.
It seems like...
I can hardly win the election.
However,
Wang Chiang-ta
will have a price to pay.
What price is it?
Dad, even your health
can't take it anymore.
What price are you thinking about?
All right. My lovely daughter.
I'll do less work.
If I can let it go, I will.
Dad.
Why did you accuse Hsiao Tieh
in front of TV reporters?
Who is Hsiao Tieh?
Prosecutor Tieh.
Don't mention him.
Dad, tell me about the misunderstanding
between you two.
I can help mediate.
But you must not tell the world.
You might hurt many people.
Dad, are you okay?
My medicine.
Okay.
May I know the room number
of Mr. Lien Chong-yen?
Over there.
Do you feel better?
Thank you.
Lien Chong-yen.
It has been a long while.
Hsun.
Mr. Hsun?
Do you two know each other?
Yeah.
It turns out...
-you are his daughter.
-Yes.
Mr. Hsun.
Have you visited Chiang-wei?
Hsiao Tieh told me that Chiang-wei
is not feeling well.
She is also hospitalized here.
No.
I came here to visit your father.
All right.
You two may chat now.
I'll visit Chiang-wei.
Hsun, I didn't expect
that you'll visit me at the hospital.
Hasn't it been agreed...
that we won't interfere with each other?
If you don't get on my nerves.
What now?
When did I get on your nerves?
Let me warn you.
Do not disturb Chiang-ta.
If Chiang-ta is harmed,
I will fight fiercely against you.
Hello, ma'am?
She's okay.
The doctor said that she could be
discharged when she is stable.
Chiang-ta.
Let me ask you for a favor.
Please bear in mind.
Do not let Chiang-wei
remember bad memories.
I understand.
I won't let her think about what happened
in the past.
It turns out that Chiang-ta
is listening to my aunt.
Both of them are keeping me in the dark.
I have always thought
that I only saw that in my dream.
As I recall now,
it didn't seem to be a dream.
All right. Bye.
Is Chiang-wei taking a rest now?
Is she okay?
What now?
Is Chiang-wei okay?
What's the matter?
What's the matter?
Chiang-wei falls ill because your dad
talked nonsense on the TV news.
My dad?
My dad said the same thing to her
in the cafe.
But she wasn't like this.
Si-te, don't you find it strange?
Many incidents happening recently
involve your dad.
Don't you know that?
Chiang-ta, enough.
As I told you,
Si-te is not related to such matter.
Don't take your anger out on her.
Dates before mates.
What did you say?
You're the one who lost your head
because of Chiang-wei.
The Wang Chiang-ta that I know
is a sensible
and rational person.
Where did he go?
Do you want to carry on like this?
Tieh Pu-fan, take a look carefully.
Chiang-wei is lying down here
because I wasn't able to protect her.
She is suffering because Lien Chong-yen
was talking nonsense.
Can't I ask Si-te
to explain to her father?
Why don't you talk
to Lien Chong-yen yourself?
Hsiao Tieh.
All right, Chiang-ta.
I'll ask my dad.
Please give me some time, okay?
I'll resolve your misunderstanding.
All right?
Sure.
Please remind your father
that I am warning him
not to look for Wang Chiang-wei anymore.
That's right.
Mr. Lien knows a lot
about things that I don't know.
Sorry for what happened just now.
Chiang-ta is always straightforward.
That's his personality.
Since our senior high school days,
he was already irritating.
Our classmates, teachers,
drillmasters, and headmaster,
as well as janitors,
they all disliked him.
Even the lady boss selling
fried chicken chop and bubble tea
disliked him a lot.
Nobody cared for what he said.
So you shouldn't...
mind his words.
You know how we became good friends?
This is hilarious. Let me tell you.
When we were going home after class,
I was listening to GTM
over my Walkman player.
Chiang-ta thought I didn't leave
because I was listening to him.
He was so moved.
He even said we'll be lifetime brothers.
Hsiao Tieh, the DNA that I provided.
Has the test report been released?
It is ongoing now.
However, once the report is out,
the truth is the truth.
If it points to your dad's disadvantage,
you must be prepared for it.
Sine squared plus cosine squared
equals one.
We are combined as one.
Everything that's happened
made me realize
that I care about you more than I thought.
Chiang-wei,
you are my bottom line.
Excuse me, Mr. Wang.
We need more information from you.
Okay.
Lien Chong-yen.
Our feelings and our future
will never be twisted by you.
Chiang-ta and Aunt
would not tell me the truth, would they?
Chiang-wei?
Lawyer Ma.
Mr. Lien.
I was told that you are also hospitalized.
Are you all right?
I am recovering well.
I need to ask you something.
I wonder if it is convenient for you.
What's the matter? You may tell me.
It's about my family's case 23 years ago.
Okay, let's talk outside.
Enough is enough. Do you understand that?
Wang Chiang-ta.
A gifted Math professor.
I was about to interview you
about the Wang family murder case.
You have firsthand information.
You asked me so many questions,
let me ask you now.
You looked for Wang Chiang-wei
as instructed by Lien Chong-yen, right?
I am just really curious.
The son of a suspect fell in love
with the daughter of the victims.
How did it start?
You know what?
I am different from you.
I like to say a few words.
One is, "None of my business."
And the other is, "None of your business."
So I save up 85 percent of my time
to work on meaningful matters.
You might as well learn this.
Chief's son truly talks like a master.
Stop the nonsense.
Let me tell you.
From now on,
stay away from Wang Chiang-wei.
Please inform Lien Chong-yen.
For the sake of the truth,
as well as to protect Chiang-wei,
when it is necessary,
I will turn into a devil
to bring down another devil.
For the truth,
I'll have the greatest courage.
Your dad's antique business
was running well.
During a small auction,
he sold a lot of stuff.
Some buyers paid in cash.
So,
he asked the police to protect him.
The cop who was tasked to protect him
had the chance to enter your house.
He saw the assets in the house
and wanted to steal them.
He then planned with Chan Ting-hsuan.
They were planning
to break into an empty house.
But unexpectedly,
your parents returned.
They had a fight.
Your parents...
were murdered.
So,
the cop who was tasked
to protect my dad...
He was...
The cop was Chief.
Chiang-wei, from my judgment,
Wang Chiang-ta's father was Chief.
Wang Yu-ming.
Also,
Wang Yu-ming died at the scene.
An item from your house
was found on his dead body.
Do you know that?
This item...
is still kept by the police.
You may ask a prosecutor,
and check with him.
I know it now.
Thank you, Mr. Lien.
What did Wang Chiang-ta say?
All this while,
I want to prove my dad's innocence.
I feel like if I can't prove it,
I can't face you.
But...
I have an evidence to prove it.
However,
as you know,
the case took place 23 years ago.
I was going home after school.
My dad and I agreed to meet
at the riverbank.
There was a man who ran past us.
I saw he that had a gun.
I told my dad.
And my dad went after him.
I am sure that he did.
And he died because of that.
In fact,
I still remember my dad's silhouette.
I sometimes ask myself.
Had I kept quiet about the matter,
maybe he would still be okay right now?
Do you remember Black Devil?
When Black Devil was arrested,
I asked him about the time
they committed the crime.
With the answer that he told me,
I am firmer that...
the time they committed the crime
was the time I was with my dad
at the riverbank.
So I know my evidence is reasonable.
My dad wasn't the murderer.
And I was the eyewitness.
I could prove my dad's alibi.
All this time, since I was little,
I kept telling everybody about this.
But nobody wanted to trust
what a boy said.
Therefore,
I need some time
to prove my dad's innocence.
Chiang-ta said
that he believes Chief was not his dad.
He personally saw his dad
go after the criminal.
He could prove his dad's alibi.
I remember...
before Wang Yu-ming arrived,
I ran into a boy in the tunnel.
It turns out...
that boy was Wang Chiang-ta.
That's right.
It matches with what Chan Ting-hsuan said.
Chan and Chief planned it all back then.
However, given Chief's special identity,
he needed to create an alibi.
He led them
into the house of the Wang family.
Then he left shortly.
As I listen to this,
Wang Yu-ming didn't spend
much time at Wang family's house.
He had a chance to create an alibi.
Chiang-wei, I've bought you food.
Chiang-wei.
Are you okay?
Do you feel well?
I looked for your dad just now.
Did my dad say anything worrying?
Chiang-wei, don't let him affect you.
Things are unclear now. So you still need
to trust Chiang-ta, okay?
I spoke to Mr. Lien,
and I have been thinking a lot.
I am thinking
that even if...
Mr. Wang was Chief,
it had nothing to do with Chiang-ta.
I do hope Mr. Wang was not Chief.
However,
if he was Chief,
I don't think that would stop me
from loving Chiang-ta.
That would be great.
Chiang-ta.
Why is she here?
She bought me food.
The boyfriend is here now.
I'll return your girlfriend now.
I'll go now. Bye.
If I tell Chiang-ta
that I met with Mr. Lien,
he will be unhappy.
I'd better tell him later.
Oh, yeah.
The doctor told me
that you can be discharged
if you are okay tomorrow.
That's great.
Give me your hand.
What now?
Lie down and I will tell you.
I want my Big Cat to take a rest with me.
It is wasteful if one didn't do
crazy things during young age.
I was naive when I was young.
I was easy to influence.
But ever since I corrected my ways,
I have only been doing good deeds.
Dad just went astray when he was young.
I should not suspect him.
The Chief...
planned the robbery and created a tragedy.
He died.
Which served him right.
There's something else
I haven't told you.
What's the matter?
I fainted
because of lung cancer.
Let's see...
for how long I could survive.
Dad, please don't say that.
You'll be just fine, all right?
The thing I worry about
is you.
My biggest wish
is to see you get married happily.
I want to hold your hand
and pass it to the man
who will protect you
for the rest of your life.
But I wonder if I could wait for it.
Dad, don't talk about this. All right?
You will be treated.
You will be just fine, okay?
You will be fine.
There must be a solution.
Did the doctor make a mistake?
All thanks to you,
I became a complete person.
I fell asleep.
It doesn't matter.
Thank you.
No problem.
Chiang-ta,
I want to ask you something.
If...
I'm just saying if.
If...
the truth that you discover
says that your father
was not what you thought him to be,
what would you do?
Don't you worry.
It is 95 percent likely that
my dad was not Chief.
But in this the world,
there are many exceptions.
Could it be possible that Mr. Lien and you
have misunderstood each other?
Why do you ask this all of sudden?
Did Lien Chong-yen come to see you today?
What did he say?
I actually went to see him.
He told me that he didn't take part
in the case.
Also,
Chief...
led Chan Ting-hsuan
and the gang into the house.
And he left shortly.
So it was possible for him
to create an alibi.
Let me tell you.
Lien Chong-yen is a born liar.
He talks a lot but nothing is true.
Chiang-wei, I will prove it.
I will prove to you
that my dad was not Chief.
Chiang-ta.
You don't need to prove anything to me.
You know what?
I lost everything since I was a kid.
Because of you,
I feel loved again.
I don't want any issue
to separate us.
This matter happened a long time ago.
Whether Mr. Wang was Chief or not,
my love for you will not change.
I don't want you
to be troubled by the case all the time.
Thank you.
I know that It's me.
It started with my problem.
I didn't tell you everything earlier.
You might feel insecure about my identity.
But I promise you that this matter
will be over soon.
Let me prove
that my dad was not Chief.
After that,
we will no longer be troubled
by these matters.
We'll live together.
All right?
Lien Chong-yen refused
to provide DNA. What a trouble.
How is it?
We are discussing about something.
It is troublesome.
Related to Lien Chong-yen?
Is there a way to prove
that he is Boss Sheng-li?
That's all we're missing now
to make the case move forward.
Let's move it.
Chiang-ta,
Lien Chong-yen is not a suspect
in any case right now.
Fei, please tell him.
Our superior has been pressuring us.
He wants us to drop the case.
Prosecutor Tieh is telling the truth.
Fei, please also tell him.
I am communicating with my superior.
Communicating.
That's right. Fei and I both want to
resolve all cases.
Do you get what I mean?
Prosecutor Tieh, he gets it.
Good job.
The painting.
With Chiang-wei's DNA, it is verified
that the blood on the painting
belonged to her father, Wang Bo-yi.
We now focus on
the blood fingerprint on the painting.
Whose fingerprint was that?
The blood fingerprint was cross-checked
with those of Chiang-wei's parents.
It was not theirs.
-It didn't match with Chan or Yen.
-That's right.
We don't exclude
that it could be Lien Chong-yen's.
Lien Chong-yen refused to provide DNA.
And he is not a suspect.
We can't force him to do so.
I'll come up with a solution again.
The point is,
the truth lies in the identity
of Lien Chong-yen.
I must come up with an idea
to prove that Lien was Boss Sheng-li.
The calm Chiang-ta.
If you think of all the problems
as math questions,
you will be stronger.
What's the background
of Lien Chong-yen? Gangster.
He can't get rid of his criminal nature.
He dodged the soy sauce factory case.
Now he's pretending to be sick to dodge
criminal investigation.
What nonsense is this
political commentary talking about?
Mr. Lien!
Are you okay?
Why are you here?
Well, I came to visit you.
I have some fruits for Mr. Lien.
The flower is for you.
Go and arrange the flowers.
Mr. Lien.
As soon as I saw the news that you were
in the hospital, I came to see you.
Stop your nonsense.
Mr. Lien.
Your comment is mean. I came to visit you.
Before this, it was all...
my duty.
Please forgive me
if I am disturbing you.
Several days ago,
Chief Prosecutor Liao showed his concern.
I realized that I have offended
Mr. Lien many times.
I felt terrible about this.
I got more worried
when you were hospitalized.
On behalf of Chief Prosecutor Liao,
I would like to apologize to you.
All right.
I don't make a fuss over minor things.
-You may take it easy.
-Thank you.
Well, I have
a presumptuous request.
I hope you will help
with our investigation.
We need you to provide fingerprints
so that we can close our files.
Those are needed from criminals.
I am not a criminal.
Why do I need to provide them?
That's right.
Because you didn't commit a crime,
you can provide fingerprints
without any worries, right?
You're talking nonsense.
Mr. Lien, think about it.
Media outlets are reporting
their stories anyhow they like.
If the matter leaked out,
and others accuse you of not cooperating
with investigators,
they might accuse you
of having mischievous motive
to refuse to be checked.
They wrote derogatory words
to affect your election.
When your opponents learn about this,
they will create a lot of slander.
Some of your constituents
might have some other ideas.
If Lien Chong-yen refuses
to be investigated,
his motive would even be clearer.
He wants to cover up for his crime.
Why can't they investigate you when
you do nothing wrong? That's fishy.
News reports nowadays are really...
These are irresponsible
political commentators.
A clean and righteous politician
is slandered and defamed just like that.
How pitiful.
I would just like to give you
a suggestion, Mr. Lien.
I know you are telling the truth.
You are not involved in those cases.
Since you didn't commit a crime,
provide your fingerprints
to close the cases.
You will clear your name.
Isn't this killing
two birds with one stone?
Chan killed Kuan Ching-ching.
Ah Bin attacked Chan.
I didn't get my hands dirty.
I didn't leave any evidence.
Furthermore, the Wang family
murder case 23 years ago
is still an unresolved case.
The fire burned all the evidence.
I should be just fine.
SELF-SERVICE FINGERPRINT CARD
Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Lien.
I am Lien Chong-yen.
I am a righteous and ethical person.
I am innocent.
Yes. I believe in your innocence as well.
Don't worry.
HSIAO TIEH
Great job, Mr. Chiang-ta.
How did you calculate the probability?
Why are you sure
Lien Chong-yen will be trapped?
Fei, let me tell you.
Lien Chong-yen is the classic case
of a sore loser.
I observed him all this while.
His personality is very obvious.
He wants to keep his image untarnished.
He cuts ties with all crime and mistakes.
He has a strong motive.
He would do dirty tricks
to achieve his goal.
He is very confident.
That's right.
When he drafted a plan,
he dislikes it
when someone interrupts him.
Lien Chong-yen's popularity is declining.
His election campaign doesn't look good.
So we are merely his secondary enemy.
Public perception is his major concern.
That's right.
What is Lien Chong-yen's weakness?
This is a popular
political commentary program.
The show runs at 1 p.m.
from Mondays to Fridays.
Some programs run
at 10 p.m. every Saturday.
They open the hotline for call in.
So,
you like political commentary programs?
My point is this,
let Lien watch this program
and that would be fine.
I get what you mean.
Fake an illness to gain attention.
More ridiculous than TV dramas.
The old dog in Lien Chong-yen
can't play new tricks.
Hello, Mr. Hsia from Taoyuan.
Hello, Mr. Hsia. What's your comment?
-Hello, host. I think that Mr. Lien...
-Get up!
-said he was innocent.
-What's going on?
But he declined police investigation.
Given his act and reaction,
he feels apprehensive now.
If he is innocent, why can't
he cooperate with the investigators?
Can a person like him stand
in the election?
Can we trust him?
Who is this Mr. Hsia from Taoyuan?
This is nonsense!
Boss, mind your blood pressure.
Mr. Lien!
Nice, bro.
We will now check who Boss Sheng-li is.
The test report is out.
Blood fingerprints on the painting
and Lien Chong-yen's fingerprints
matched perfectly.
However,
how did he leave the blood fingerprints?
As Old Yen said,
when they were in the middle
of the robbery,
Mr. and Mrs. Wang came home.
Chan Ting-hsuan and Wang Bo-yi
started a fight.
Chan Ting-hsuan stabbed
and killed Mr. Wang.
Boss Sheng-li fired a shot
and killed Mrs. Wang.
And my judgment is,
Chan's hands were full of blood.
He passed the painting to Boss Sheng-li.
Boss Sheng-li took it with his right hand.
He left his fingerprints there.
His fingerprint was shallow.
You would need to check it
with special light source.
Lien Chong-yen didn't know
his fingerprints were on it.
The case created a lot of mess.
The news reported it.
Lien Chong-yen wanted to sell
the stolen goods.
Because blood tainted the painting,
he then kept it in his safe.
He planned to take it out
when the case died down.
He waited for more than 20 years.
During his election campaign,
he organized a charity auction.
He thought of the painting,
which did not appear in the market.
It was Pu Hsin-yu's authentic work.
It would fetch a good price.
So he took it out.
On the left side of the painting,
the painter's autograph was not tainted.
He cut the tainted part and reframed it.
He brought it to the auction.
You wouldn't know it was cut,
unless you had seen the genuine version.
Kuan Ching-ching called me.
She told me that she stole one-third
of the blood-tainted painting.
Out of curiosity, she stole the other
two-thirds from the auction venue.
Which was why she was murdered.
Oh, I see.
On the painting,
there are blood fingerprints
of the victims and Chan Ting-hsuan,
as well as Lien Chong-yen.
Linking these matters together,
we can prove that
Lien Chong-yen was lying.
He did not buy and left
his fingerprints on it.
He left his fingerprints
at the crime scene.
That's right.
Along with Old Yen's statement,
Lien Chong-yen can never escape.
Let us quickly arrest
the cunning Boss Sheng-li.
Lien Chong-yen.
You have been at large for so long.
-We can finally arrest you.
-Prosecutor Tieh.
Prosecutor Tieh, are you okay?
Do you feel unwell?
Not really.
I am just...
thinking about Si-te.
I think that...
I have to take care of some things
before I arrest Lien Chong-yen.
Hsiao Tieh.
Dorothy once told me.
If you care for a person a lot,
that person will feel it.
I'm sure you'll be fine.
Buck up.
Chiang-ta,
your words...
moved me.
But it is sickening.
Disgusting.
You'd better look for your Dorothy.
-Big Cat. Meow.
-Meow.
Get to the case now.
Is he mad now?
Chiang-ta.
Teacher Si-te.
Are you waiting for someone?
I am waiting for Chiang-ta.
-Done with your procedure?
-Yeah.
Why do you look unhappy?
Si-te.
Mr. Lien...
Is your father feeling better now?
He's not very well.
But he can be discharged tomorrow.
I understand.
Chiang-ta.
My dad is not a bad guy.
He said that the crime started
with Chan Ting-hsuan and Chief.
They planned it and he was not involved.
Can you just talk to him
about your misunderstandings?
Stop fighting with him.
Si-te, some matters are not
what you have imagined.
For me, your father is a criminal
still at large.
I can't sit down and discuss with him.
What evidence do you have
to call him a criminal?
Would I not have evidence? Just recently,
he told the world
that my dad was a criminal.
I have the evidence to prove otherwise.
Do you think I have no evidence
to prove your dad's crime?
Where is your evidence?
-Why are you calling him a criminal?
-All right.
At this critical moment,
let's not get caught up in our emotions.
Police and prosecutors
will handle the case.
Chiang-ta has his own stance.
He did not say that with bad intention.
Everybody has a stance.
As Chiang-wei said,
I need to think more about
our friends' happiness.
Si-te, I...
I didn't mean to argue with you.
I'm sorry.
Chiang-wei, let's go.
Hello?
Right now?
Thank you, Mr. Hsun.
I've really needed this lately.
Why isn't Chiang-ta with you?
Chiang-ta has some work at the school.
Si-te.
Sorry about what happened earlier.
Chiang-ta's is really straightforward.
That's his personality.
That's right.
I apologize to you on behalf of Chiang-ta.
No problem. Don't you worry. I don't mind.
It's all right.
There must be some misunderstanding
between them.
I trust my dad.
Hsiao Tieh.
Did the DNA prove that my dad
wasn't involved in the case?
The DNA that you provided
helped the forensic department a lot.
He was cleared from some suspicious parts.
But it didn't completely rule out
the possibility
that he is involved in the case.
So are you working from the presumption
that he is a criminal?
Not really.
Are you going to continue
to prove he's guilty
so that you could prove your presumption?
Is this how you do your job?
Don't you have to start
by assuming that he's innocent?
Si-te.
Hsiao Tieh, I was wrong about you.
Teacher Si-te.
Teacher Si-te.
Si-te.
Can I say something?
What do you have to say?
I'm a criminal's daughter.
We have different stances.
Don't get near me.
It is normal to have different stances.
Can't we just talk properly?
Do you want me to change my stance?
You can change it. Can you change?
I can't change my profession.
I can't change my stance.
But what I really want to change
right now is...
What do I have to do
so that you don't feel sad?
I'd like to ask, how could I not feel sad?
My favorite man is about to charge
and imprison my lovely father.
How could I not feel sad?
What did you just say?
-How could I not feel sad?
-Not that.
The next one.
That's right. I like you. What about that?
But whatever there was between us,
it's over. Do you understand?
It's all over.
All right.
But before we really end things,
let me share my idea.
After that, we can go our separate ways.
When I wake up every morning,
I would check my cell phone.
I want to see if there are phone calls
and text messages from you.
Because I am eager to see you.
I intentionally go around
your tutorial school
and your home.
I'm trying my luck to run into you.
I know you are a kind-hearted woman.
But you've been pretending to be strong
to hide your loneliness.
You hide all your unhappiness
deep in your heart.
You don't share it with anyone.
I know all about it.
That's why I worry about you.
That's right.
Our relationship is complicated now.
I'm scared to face you.
I care a lot about you.
But I have to act cool.
I don't know what to do.
Because you have occupied my thoughts.
Because of you, I can't focus on my work.
Si-te.
I like you.
I've liked you for a long time.
So before we even get started,
I can't let you say that it's over.
Lien Si-te.
As a prosecutor, I beg you
to be responsible for something.
What is it?
When you feel down,
let me accompany you.
In the future,
let me take care of you.
But let me tell you.
Whatever the outcome is,
the truth is the only way
to achieve forgiveness.
The pathway may be hard
and tormenting.
It is painful.
It is tiring.
We might feel helpless.
But I promise you.
I will hold your hand.
I will hold your hand until the end.
Si-te,
you are kind-hearted.
But you must be stronger.
Mr. Lien.
-Are you going to stand in election?
-Excuse me.
Police on duty. Give way.
You guys again.
You're tailing me everywhere.
Lien Chong-yen.
Please follow us
to the district prosecutor office.
-I'm not free.
-District prosecutor office?
I'm afraid you have no say in this.
This isn't about cooperating
with investigators.
You are now under arrest.
Under arrest?
Mr. Prosecutor, I request
to be with my client.
You might as well sing and dance.
-Just don't overly interfere.
-Sure.
Mr. Lien.
Someone alleged that you were involved in
the robbery and arson case
of the Wang family 23 years ago.
What do you have to say
about this allegation?
The case back then was planned
by Chan Ting-hsuan and Chief.
Chan looked for me and asked me
to join them.
But I had already decided to abandon
all my wrong deeds,
so I didn't accept his idea.
I didn't take part.
Your statement contradicts
with what was told by Chan and Old Yen
when they were arrested.
Both of them said
that Boss Sheng-li approached them
separately to commit the crime.
They didn't meet Chief
until the day of the incident.
Are you lying?
That was a case more than 20 years ago.
It is normal for my client
to have forgotten something.
That doesn't mean he lied.
Hsiao Tieh, Lawyer Ma is here
to interrupt you. Ignore him.
I didn't do it. As simple as that.
I don't need to lie.
Someone alleged
that you were Boss Sheng-li.
This is a serious allegation.
If you have no evidence--
We have it.
We have the evidence.
I suggest that you be honest
to win better terms.
I did not take part in the crime.
It has nothing to do with me.
When Chan Ting-hsuan was attacked,
we arrested Yen Chang-tai as a suspect.
He claimed
that you made him talk.
So he made a false statement.
Is that true?
My client has the right to remain silent.
Let me carry on then.
Do you know this person?
Ma-sha.
According to the timeline
provided by Yen Chang-tai,
you visited Ma-sha's home.
You persuaded his wife to let you in
to plant forged evidence.
You paid her a huge sum of money
after the incident.
This is the passbook of Ma-sha's wife.
You transferred
eight million dollars to her.
We investigated, and it was
an account under her name
And you transferred to her.
She also admitted
that you persuaded and bribed her.
You colluded with Chan and Yen
to hide the truth
and let the dead Ma-sha
bear all the allegations.
Which means that on November 18, 1994,
you actually participated
in the robbery and arson case
of the Wang family.
My evidence also reveals
that you are what Chan and Yen
described as Boss Sheng-li.
Do you want to refute any of this?
Well, this...
If you don't have anything to say,
it's okay.
You claimed
that you did not take part
in the robbery and arson case.
I have an evidence to refute your alibi.
This is Pu Hsin-yu's painting.
It was split into two parts.
This was what you sold at the auction.
Looks familiar?
The other part was stolen by a thief
from your warehouse.
You wanted to check with me
who the thief was.
Kuan Ching-ching was the thief.
Which means...
this painting belonged to you.
The painting previously
belonged to Wang Bo-yi,
the head of Wang family.
The fire didn't burn the name list
which recorded the painting
under his name.
Did you steal the painting
from the crime scene?
I bought the painting.
This was how it looked like
when I bought it.
Lien Chong-yen, you are stubborn.
All right.
Did you see the bloodstain
on the painting?
On the painting,
other than the fingerprints
of Chan Ting-hsuan,
we found your fingerprints as well.
Those fingerprints prove
that you were at the crime scene.
The fingerprints were put
onto the painting at the crime scene.
They were not left on the painting
after it was sold.
We have checked the painting.
There is a shallow blood fingerprint.
Chan perhaps killed Wang Bo-yi,
and he passed the painting
to Boss Sheng-li.
Which is why Boss Sheng-li's
fingers touched it.
The fingerprint was shallow. It can only
be seen with special light source.
As we have cross-checked,
the blood fingerprint was a perfect match
with your right thumb.
Which proved you were at the crime scene.
Mr. Lien, this is a murder
and arson case. We are--
Lawyer Ma, there is nothing
you can do here.
You may leave now.
Get ready to go to court.
Yes, sir.
Prosecutor Tieh,
this is my private request.
May I have a word privately
with Wang Chiang-ta?
You two may have a chat.
Do not harm each other.
I mean, do not start a fight.
You must also stay calm.
I will monitor you from outside.
Don't mess around.
What do you want to tell me?
You have proven that I was Boss Sheng-li.
I will spend my remaining years
behind bars.
I might not have the chance to tell you.
I want to tell you
who Chief is.
His identity concerned you most.
Are you about to reveal his identity?
Well, don't you want to know?
Go ahead, please.
The truth is,
Chief was your father, Wang Yu-ming.
My dad's a criminal.
Aren't we incompatible to be together?
You want to give up?
Have you ever thought about how I feel?
The evidence is right there.
I don't know what to believe.
I love you a lot.
But I really can't repay your trust.
