Lion Pride (2017–…): Season 1, Episode 15 - Episode #1.15 - full transcript
Blood fingerprints on the painting
and Lien Chong-yen's fingerprints
matched perfectly.
Si-te.
I will hold your hand until the end.
Chief was your father, Wang Yu-ming.
It's impossible.
If you're trying to provoke me,
I'm sorry,
you didn't succeed.
I'm Boss Sheng-li.
I'm the only one who knows
who the chief is.
Why won't you believe me?
Because you're lying.
I know exactly what the truth is.
Also, I am my dad's alibi.
If your alibi is effective,
why didn't you defend him
when your dad died?
You let him suffer the injustice
for so many years.
Because the police don't believe
to a kid's statement.
Is that so?
Wang Chiang-ta.
I thought you're smart.
I didn't expect
that you're so blind and stubborn.
Have you ever thought that the reason
why they didn't believe your testimony
was because the evidence is weak
and ineffective?
Do you firmly believe
that what you said was true?
Tell me.
What's your alibi?
Black Devil, who was standing guard
back then, have already been arrested.
According to his testimony,
the crime took place at 4:30 p.m.
At that time,
I was right beside my dad.
That's it?
You're a smart person.
Why can't you get why no one believed
you have the evidence to prove
that the time you mentioned is accurate?
Is it possible that you
remembered it wrong?
That's impossible.
I'm 100% confident about my memory.
One hundred percent?
And I also have other pieces of evidence.
Okay, let me tell you.
I was Wang Yu-ming's source
in this case that he planned.
He came to me and I helped him
round up the people.
On the day of the crime,
we met up at the scene.
Wang Yu-ming just wanted to get his share.
He didn't want to participate.
Because he was a cop.
He doesn't want to dirty his hands.
After he opened the door and let us in,
and then he set up a meeting place.
Now, you did everything
to prove that I am Boss Sheng-li.
Then I'm the only one who can identify
who the chief is.
As for you,
what evidence do you have
to prove that your dad, Wang Yu-ming,
is not the chief?
Lien Chong-yen.
You're using the fact
that you're the only one who knows
who the chief is to invent nonsense.
However, let me remind you.
I'm not little Wang Chiang-ta anymore.
Since I was able to get you in here,
that means I can be able
to figure out who the chief is
based on what you're saying.
Wang Chiang-ta.
I remember you.
Back then, at the culvert,
I bumped into you on purpose.
You were just ten years old.
I signaled your dad
that something went wrong.
Your dad knew the situation was not good,
so he pretended to chase after us.
Do you know why?
If he didn't get his share,
then all his efforts would be wasted.
My dad didn't know you back then.
You're too naive, Wang Chiang-ta.
How old were you back then?
Is it so hard to pretend
that he doesn't know me in front of you?
My dad is not the chief. Stop lying to me.
Why do you want to frame him?
I didn't want to frame him.
Half a year before the case happened,
Wang Po-i sold some antiques
at an underground auction.
It was already late
when the auction ended.
He felt it wasn't safe to bring
so much cash at home.
So he requested a cash-in-transit guard
from the police.
Back then, the one responsible
for guarding the cash
was your dad, Wang Yu-ming.
He even escorted Wang Po-i to his house.
He saw the valuable antiques
in Yu-ming's house.
So he had a wicked idea.
And planned this theft.
He didn't know...
that he got some wrong information.
It ended up becoming a murder case.
If you think about it,
the real culprit
is your dad.
Wang Yu-ming.
You were just talking about the chief.
It doesn't mean that the chief is my dad.
My dad is not the chief.
If you don't believe me,
go to the police station
where your dad used to be assigned.
Check the records back then.
And see who was the cash-in-transit guard.
The answer lies there.
Chiang-ta, Lien Chong-yen said
your dad is the chief,
and you believe it?
What kind of person is Lien Chong-yen?
He's shrewd.
His main objective
is to make you fall for his trick.
He just wants to influence you.
I know.
He's just trying to provoke me,
but, you know,
his false accusations need
to have some basis.
I've already sent a letter
to the Mingkuang Police Station.
I asked them to check the work logs
the year before May as soon as possible
to see if there is such a record.
We might find out the result
early tomorrow.
Until there is enough evidence
or clues,
please don't worry about it, okay?
I want to prove it now.
I want to prove that my dad
didn't handle that work.
If I can prove that,
it means he's really lying.
He was just making false accusations.
He's gambling on the fact
that records from 23 years ago
have already been destroyed.
If I can't find those records,
he can continue to provoke me.
And think about it.
Lien Chong-yen knows who the chief is.
He provided proof now.
If that proof really exists,
that means my dad is really the chief.
However, if I can disprove what he says,
it can also prove
that my dad isn't the chief.
Yes, that's the logic.
That's right.
Chiang-ta, eat slowly.
You'll get gastroenteritis
if you eat that way.
Yes, Chiang-ta.
The rice wouldn't run away.
Eat slowly.
Here, Hsiao Chien. Eat slowly too.
Okay.
HANLIN CLOUD CLASS
You've been acting strange since earlier.
Did something happen?
I'm not sure if I should tell you.
Didn't I tell you
that we shouldn't keep secrets
from each other?
Tell me if there's a problem.
We'll resolve it together.
There's a document now
that can prove my dad's innocence.
I just need to have that document.
The closer I get to the truth,
the more anxious I feel.
You have to trust me, okay?
I've always trusted you.
I just hope...
that you wouldn't feel very disappointed
if the truth is not what you expected.
Don't let
the previous generation's problem
affect our lives, okay?
It won't.
No one can change the truth.
It won't.
I know you think it won't,
but I just...
I'm just worried
about the 0.01 percent chance.
There's no 0.01 percent chance.
That's impossible.
My dad is innocent.
Don't worry.
Chiang-ta.
Chiang-wei is just worried about you,
like your mom.
What do you mean "like your mom"?
You're all trying to console me.
Hsiao Chien.
Do you know anything I don't know?
I have an exam tomorrow.
Hsiao Chien.
What is it?
My dad said...
your mom believes
that your dad was involved,
but you were so young back then.
She was afraid that it might hurt you,
so she chose not to tell you.
She's really worried about you, though.
She thought
that you would accept it
when you grow older.
Back then, it seems like Mom
already believed that Dad is involved.
Does she really know
something that I don't?
WANG FAMILY REQUESTED
CASH-IN-TRANSIT GUARD
He got there at 6:20 p.m.
After a while, the cartoons started.
It's 1.5 kilometers away,
which is a 20-minute walk.
Nothing more.
So my dad and I parted ways at 6:00 p.m.
We walked for about 30 minutes.
One hour, at most.
So the accurate meeting time
should be around 5:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.
So catching bad guys make you
a good person?
Mom, don't say that.
One time, your dad was very late.
He even adjusted his watch secretly.
I almost believed him.
Is it really possible for Dad
to adjust his watch
because he was afraid to be late
for my birthday?
Let's say that was the case.
Then the chance that my dad
is not the chief is...
SIXTY PERCENT
The day, Dad gave you to me.
Yes.
Or was Dad late because he needed
to buy the toy car?
Can you prove that?
Is that what happened?
"Chiang-ta fought with his classmate
in school today.
He got hurt.
His wounds were treated
at the school clinic."
Hold out your hand.
You know this hurts.
If so, why did you fight
with your classmate?
Because he lost to me in track and field.
So he was saying bad things about Dad.
You fought with him
just because he said some things?
Until when will you be fighting?
Until you grow older?
No.
When the police find evidence
to prove Dad's innocence,
nobody would dare
to say those things anymore.
Innocence?
That wouldn't happen.
Listen, don't fight with anyone
about this again.
That way, you will just be reiterating
that your dad is a bad person.
My dad is not a bad person.
Mom, don't say that.
Your dad...
You'll know when you get older.
The diary.
LIFE
Mom's diary.
If you want to do big things,
you have to...
Why are you so early?
Is that the information?
You're my boss.
Are you trying to give me a hard time?
This is my breakfast.
It's not the information.
Stop it, okay, Wang Chiang-ta?
Speaking of which, you have to thank Fei.
Fei heard that you wanted
the information really quickly,
so he volunteered.
He went to the Mingkuang Police Station
last night to help find the information.
So did he find it?
Boss.
I brought the information over
as soon as I found it.
Chiang-ta.
Look.
Here's the photocopy.
Fei.
Thank you.
Bro.
Sit down.
It's still hot.
Please enjoy.
CASH-IN-TRANSIT WORK LOG
WANG YU-MING
How can this happen?
No way.
In this case,
the chance that dad
is not is the chief is...
Yes.
That's where the answer lies.
LIFE
I sorted out Yu-ming's stuff today.
I found the diamond ring I liked
when we passed by the jewelry store.
At first, I thought,
"Why would he have this?"
After checking
the quality assurance certificate,
I realized that he bought this ring
before the incident.
The news said
that he lost almost NTD 60,000
in some investments
and he didn't tell me about.
That's why he got involved
in the incident.
I felt really anxious.
So I asked Shang-hsun.
Shang-hsun said
that it seems like Yu-ming already
paid off his debts.
Where did he get the money from?
Could it be that he really sold
the information
about the Wang family?
And received some money as a tip?
My dad didn't kill anyone.
He also wasn't corrupt.
You have to believe Dad.
Dad is not a bad person.
He's surely not a bad person.
Definitely not.
My dad isn't corrupt!
Dad, you actually went
to the meeting place, right?
Actually, you're...
I've always believed
that you're not the chief.
You were supposed to be a very good cop.
Why did you lie...
Why did you lie to me?
You...
You know these people.
You know these people, right?
Chiang-ta.
Chiang-ta, what are you doing?
Chiang-ta!
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
Calm down.
What happened?
What's going on?
It's not what we expected.
I...
I've always...
believed that this is not the truth.
They asked me not to investigate.
But I've always investigated it.
I kept investigating until now. And...
I saw it.
Can you...
Can you calm down?
What happened?
Chiang-wei, don't touch me.
Don't touch me.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Thank you for trusting me.
Thank you for always trusting me.
But I really...
I really can't repay your trust.
What are you talking about?
What are you talking about?
Chiang-ta.
Chiang-ta, open the door, okay?
Chiang-ta.
Chiang-ta, open the door.
Tell me what happened.
Please.
Mr. Lien.
How did it go?
The Police Station said
that the prosecution's office
already copied the work logs
from May of that year.
Okay.
What about Wang Chiang-ta?
They saw him enter
the prosecution's office in the morning,
then he rushed out afterwards.
Wang Chiang-ta.
There are many more things
that you don't know.
Chiang-wei.
Auntie.
Chiang-wei.
Chiang-wei.
Chiang-ta.
I don't want to part ways with him.
I know.
I'm here for you.
Chiang-ta, open the door first. Okay?
I can listen to you.
Regardless of what happened
20 or 30 years ago,
our feelings are real.
My love for you is also real.
Do you remember the necklace you gave me?
We have to put them together,
so that it can be equal to one.
And one means forever.
Please open the door, okay?
You're really good.
I'm really sorry.
It's my fault.
So I think we should--
Do you want to be alone?
You don't want to see me right now?
It suddenly occurred to me
that I haven't been back
to Tainan in a long time.
I'll go back to Tainan and visit Auntie.
So you can be alone and calm down.
When I get back after a week though,
you must give me back my Big Cat, okay?
Chiang-wei.
You must be hungry.
Here.
Have some noodles.
Thank you, Auntie.
I'll eat it later.
Okay.
Are you all right?
I'm fine.
I just thought of Mom and Dad.
And I also feel sorry for Chiang-ta.
WANG CHIANG-WEI
Chiang-ta.
I'm already here in Tainan.
Don't worry about me.
I'll be back in Taipei next week.
Wait for me to come back.
I...
Chiang-wei.
You can't fall asleep?
Put this around you. Don't catch a cold.
Thank you.
I really can't understand
why we had
encounter such a thing?
If we can't find the answer
in the universe,
we have to find it in our hearts.
Auntie.
Yes?
There's one thing...
that I really can't figure out.
I need to know the answer today.
I'm here to see you.
I finally solved the mystery.
Dad, am I really stupid?
Mom.
I...
I even blamed you before.
It turns out that everything
is not what I thought it is.
Should I call you...
Should I call you Dad or Chief?
You let me live my life in this lie.
Now, I...
Now that I've solved the mystery. I...
I don't know what I should do next.
Wang Chiang-ta, let's go get some snacks.
Come on. Let's go eat something.
Let's go.
Let's go get a snack.
Let's go.
I'm not hungry.
Hey! You're not hungry, but I am.
Just go with me.
Watch me eat, if you want. Let's go.
That works on Chiang-wei, but on not me.
Let me tell you.
You can't get me out of here.
Are you coming or not?
Don't make me use force.
What?
You really want me to stop playing nice?
Hey!
Fight back.
Come on!
Come on, bro!
Hey.
Yes! I win!
I won over the champion, Wang Chiang-ta.
I'll take a photo and post it.
Okay.
Come on.
I'll send it to our groups.
I've already sent it, look.
Wang Chiang-ta lost to Tieh Pu-fan.
Never mind if you don't want to eat.
Let me know if you're hungry.
-Auntie.
-Yes?
Did Dad and Mom...
really died in the fire?
Why do I remember
that we were already inside the house
and didn't come from outside?
I used to think it was only a dream.
But now I feel like it was real.
You were really young when it happened.
Even if I told you the truth,
you might not be able to understand it.
Besides, you couldn't take it.
You got a post-traumatic stress disorder.
So the doctor especially advised me
not to upset you.
Otherwise, it might turn
into severe depression.
You don't have to worry about me now.
I'm not scared of anything
because of Chiang-ta.
Okay.
I'll tell you everything
about what happened that day.
On the day of the incident,
your parents were actually bringing us
to Hong Kong for an exhibit.
We didn't expect that you would have
a fever two days before.
Your fever was really high.
So your parents left
according to the plan.
They suddenly called along the way
and said that they're worried about you.
Suddenly, I heard a bang.
It was very loud.
I was so surprised.
What was the sound?
I traced where the sound came from.
Then, in the living room,
I saw...
Yen-pa, it's all your fault
that Boss had to shoot him.
Hsiao Chan.
We just agreed to just rob the place.
But you shot them.
I was worried that they
would come upstairs.
I immediately woke you up.
I held you and hid under the bed.
Hsiao Wei.
I seem to remember this part a bit.
Later on, the house caught fire.
But I don't know if they're still there.
So I didn't dare
to bring you out immediately.
Until the room was filled with smoke.
I really couldn't take it anymore.
That's when I took you away.
Hsiao Wei!
I remember now.
Why did you lie to me then?
Only one person was caught
after the incident.
The other culprits are still free.
If they knew someone is inside the house,
how can I protect you?
So I told everyone
that we came from outside.
That way, they won't know
that there were witnesses.
I see.
In order to hide the truth further,
I took you back to our home in Tainan
and raised you alone.
Auntie.
Thank you.
Thank you for letting me grow up at peace.
And you took all the worries
and fears by yourself.
Chiang-wei.
I really miss you.
I really want to hear your voice.
Big Cat Sherlock.
Do you want to have a date with Dorothy?
I saw a new movie
coming out in the theaters
from the television earlier.
I think you'll like it.
Let's watch it this Saturday.
Big Cat.
I saw a coat earlier when I went shopping.
I think it really suits you.
Do you like blue or green?
What are you doing?
I'm missing you a bit.
Chiang-ta, I'm already in Tainan.
Don't worry about me.
-I'll be back in Taipei next week.
-Your dad is bad.
-Catching bad guys make you a good person?
-Wait for me to come back.
One time, your dad was late
for a long time.
He even adjusted his watch in secret.
I almost believed him.
The chief is...
your dad.
Wang Yu-ming.
Your dad knew the situation was not good,
so he pretended to chase after us.
If he didn't get his share,
then all his efforts would be wasted.
Mr. Wang.
Based on our initial examination,
you don't suffer from a concussion,
just some scratches.
We've already covered your wounds.
You can go home and rest now.
I'm sorry. My change should be 28.
Three hundred
minus two hundred eighty-two.
Eighteen is the right amount.
Yes, it's 18.
I'm sorry, I made such a simple mistake.
Chiang-wei.
Did I wake you?
No.
I'm already up.
I just didn't want to get out of bed.
I'm not sure what to do after I get up.
I came back to Tainan,
so that Chiang-ta wouldn't see me
and feel guilty and blame himself.
God.
Fate really plays tricks on people.
I never expected that you and Chiang-ta
would have this kind of fate.
Auntie.
Reenacting what happened that day
might help me remember some things.
I...
I'm going to hide under the bed.
I want to remember
what happened that day.
Chiang-wei.
Don't force yourself.
Chiang-ta needs me.
Because of him,
I'm not scared of anything.
Then I'll do it with me.
Just like before.
Chiang-ta.
Boss.
Why is he staring at the blackboard?
I seriously suspect
that he damaged his brain
after he changed his hairstyle.
What are you talking about?
Go home first.
Okay.
I'll think of something to get him better.
So that Chiang-ta can go back
to his usual strong self.
Si-te's condition
is the same as Chiang-ta's.
I wonder if Si-te also feels the same way
at this time.
Mom.
The thing you're worried about happened.
Dad got caught.
But he's sick.
What should I do?
It's all my fault.
I didn't stop him from doing
those bad things.
Mom, this music box is so pretty.
Can I have it?
No.
Your dad gave it to me.
He's so busy with work.
He never gave me any gifts
on my birthday and Valentine's Day
each year.
That is his only gift to me
for our wedding anniversary.
Even though this music box is not new,
it must be something your dad bought
from the antique seller.
When I was young my mom had a jewelry box,
and when I opened it
the music is exactly the same as this.
-No kidding?
-It's true.
My mom had a jewelry box,
when I opened it, it's this music too.
Really? That's such a coincidence.
Chiang-wei's dad is an antique seller.
When I was little, I saw how my mom pair
these bags with her shoes.
And I found it very attractive.
My mother passed away
when I was very young.
But I can still recall
that she liked this brand too.
You know, we have a picture together
in my home
where she was holding this bag.
Really? What a coincidence.
So the things Dad gave mom
were the ones he stole
from Chiang-wei's house.
I remember now.
It was not a dream.
It was real.
What did you remember?
That day, the robber in our room
had a half-moon scar on his ankle.
I didn't see that back then.
Are you sure?
I remember it very well.
He used that foot
to extinguish the cigarette.
Auntie.
After you heard the gunshot,
you went to the living room.
What did you see?
Let's just handle this.
Why did you fire the gun?
Who fired it?
That means,
aside from Old Yen,
Chan Ting-hsuan,
and Lien Chong-yen,
there was a fourth person.
It's the chief.
I don't know.
He must be the chief.
Because I remember that Black Ghost
was standing guard outside the house.
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.
Wang Yu-ming didn't spend
much time at Wang family's house.
He had a chance to create an alibi.
That's not right, though.
Mr. Lien told me
that after Chan Ting-hsuan
entered the house,
the chief left.
In such a short amount of time,
he couldn't go to see Chiang-ta
and come back for you to see him.
Unless there was a sixth person involved.
Otherwise, Chiang-ta's dad
cannot be the chief.
That's right.
Regardless what Chiang-ta found
in the records,
if there were four people at the scene,
then it's impossible for Chiang-ta's dad
to be the chief.
The number you have dialed
cannot be reached.
Please try again later.
What's the matter?
Chiang-ta's still not answering?
He turned off his phone.
Auntie.
I'm really worried about Chiang-ta.
I'm going back to Taipei sooner.
Chiang-ta needs me the most right now.
I should stay by his side.
This time,
no matter how much he pushes me away,
I won't leave him.
Okay.
I'll go with you.
So have you found out the truth?
We were wrong.
We should never have searched
for the truth after all.
What do you mean?
You know what?
Dad lied to us.
For the past 23 years,
what we believed is not true.
It was just a lie.
You're lying!
Dad was framed.
Dad was definitely framed.
I'm not lying.
I don't know anything right now.
I don't know what to believe.
You didn't investigate seriously.
You have so much time.
You studied so hard.
You're even a university professor.
How can you not find the truth?
How can you say
I didn't investigate seriously?
For the past 23 years,
I think about this every day.
How can you say
I didn't investigate seriously?
I found the answer now.
The evidence is right there.
What do you want me to do?
I trust Dad.
Why do you still believe in him?
What proof do you have?
I don't have proof, I just know it.
Just like when you like Ms. Chiang-wei.
You don't have proof,
but you just know it.
Wang Chiang-ta.
Chiang-ta.
I finally found you.
Chiang-ta.
I don't have any energy left
to face all of this.
I never thought
that the Lion Wang Chiang-ta
doesn't like grassy fields.
Instead, you like coming inside caves.
To shelter yourself from the cold.
By the way,
I got a cold case this morning.
Let me tell you. Even Conan, Kindaichi,
and Sherlock Holmes can't solve it.
Only you can solve it.
I'm not interested.
You'll be interested. Let's go.
I'm not interested.
What are you doing?
What exactly are you doing?
What are you hiding from?
It has nothing to do with you.
What?
It has nothing to do with me?
Now, you're saying
it has nothing to do with me?
We've known each other since senior high.
You kept talking about your dad.
It was so annoying!
Have you ever thought about how I feel?
It was because of your dad's case
that I became a prosecutor.
You want to give up
just because of a minor setback?
Do you know that you're very selfish?
Have you thought about all my hard work?
Do you even know
that I already view your dad as my own?
Do you know that?
Hsiao Tieh, I'm sorry.
I wasted so much of your time.
You're really despicable, you know that?
Now, you're telling me
that you wasted my time?
Wang Chiang-ta, listen carefully.
You better pull yourself together.
Otherwise, you'll get it from me.
Hit me.
Hit me as much as you want to.
I won't fight back.
-Hello?
-Hsiao Tieh.
When can I visit my dad?
The judge has already decided
to keep him in detention.
No one can visit him.
You might need to wait for the prosecution
to finish collecting
all the pieces of evidence.
At that time,
when the judge lifts that order,
I'll inform you at once, okay?
No, my dad has lung cancer.
He can request bail
for medical treatment, right?
Your dad is very healthy.
The hospital already examined him.
He lied to you.
It's possible for him to do that.
It's okay.
As long as he's fine.
As long as he's fine.
As long as he's fine.
Si-te, are you okay?
I'm fine.
Si-te, your situation
is very similar to Chiang-ta.
When we were discussing this,
you knew that Chiang-ta's dad
might be involved.
However, it has nothing to do
with Chiang-ta.
Same as you.
Anything that your dad did
has nothing to do with you.
Don't put all the blame on yourself, okay?
I can be forgiving towards others.
But how can I ask others
to do the same to me?
I don't know how to face Chiang-wei.
She was such a good friend to me.
Chiang-wei treated you
like a very good friend indeed.
I was a witness to that.
Hsiao Tieh.
There are two things
in my house that I think
my dad took from the Wang family.
Can you please give them to Chiang-wei?
Can I suggest that you give them
to Chiang-wei yourself instead?
I want to.
But I really can't face her anymore.
My dad did such a thing to her family.
Let me take you home.
There's no need. I want to walk alone.
I'm afraid that your imagination
would run wild if you're alone.
I'll take you home.
Hsiao Tieh.
I really love my dad.
But he's a criminal.
And you're a prosecutor.
Aren't we incompatible to be together?
No.
We can face this.
We can resolve this.
Trust me, okay?
I really, really like you.
But I can't be that selfish.
You have a bright future ahead of you.
Si-te.
Si-te.
Miss, are you crossing or not?
Are you crazy?
Miss, are you thinking?
Pedestrians are a priority in the road.
Don't you know that?
-Are you done?
-Am I done?
You're unlucky today.
I'm a prosecutor.
I saw you went over
the double yellow lines a while ago.
And you created noise
when kept honking your horn.
This is my card.
I require you to please explain yourself
for this incident.
Do you have anyone you like now?
You're afraid to be left out?
We can also be together.
This way the four of us
can go out for dinner just like tonight.
-Please don't.
-What?
Back then, you saw it.
You were worried that I would be sad.
You were worried that I would be in pain.
You were thinking about me in everything.
But not that you're sad and in pain.
I can't be with you.
Do you know how much I want...
to give you a hug...
and be with you?
However, I don't know what I should do
to help you.
If I want to save Si-te,
I have to save Chiang-ta first.
Are you really not going to take the GSAT?
Yes, I've already decided.
Have you seen Chiang-ta?
He hasn't been here for days.
Yes, I feel like I haven't seen him
for a long time.
Hsiao Chiang is here.
Hsiao Chiang is here. Come on. Sit down.
Come on.
Uncle Hsun, Hsiao Chien.
Let them see what you look like right now.
Hsiao Chien.
Here is Chiang-ta.
Let me tell you.
Just call him Hsiao Chiang going forward.
Chiang-ta, what happened?
Uncle Hsun.
Talk to him.
Yell at him, if you have to!
I hope you can beat him up.
See if you can set him straight.
Chiang-ta, what happened?
Uncle Hsun.
What do you think?
It's because of the case.
Chiang-ta.
In the past 20 years,
you've always believed in your dad.
Why won't you trust him now?
Uncle Hsun, I discovered the truth.
Even if you have many evidence
against your father,
I would still choose to believe him,
if you ask me.
Your dad and I
was like you and Hsiao Tieh.
Feelings can't lie.
If I tell you Hsiao Tieh is corrupt
and bends the law for personal gain,
would you believe me?
Speak, Wang Chiang-ta.
What?
If you don't speak,
it means that it's possible for me,
Tieh Pu-fan, to be that kind of person.
In principle, no.
But if you get tempted...
in the future,
it's hard to say.
But not for the next ten years.
What do you mean
get tempted in the future?
What are you talking about?
Okay.
I'll write down what you said
on my clues wall.
One day, if that happens, you win.
That's right.
Just like how I believed
that your dad is innocent.
Yu-ming was the team leader back then.
He's responsible and righteous.
Everyone wanted to work with him.
However, Uncle Hsun,
I found a document.
It was supposed to prove Dad's innocence.
But the only signature on that work log...
was my Dad's.
Regardless of how many people
worked on it,
the team leader is the only one
who needs to sign on the form.
You mean...
even if many people were involved
in Wang Po-i's cash-in-transit request,
only my dad needs to sign on the work log?
In that case,
is it possible that one of those people
is the chief?
Yes.
Maybe we can make use
of what Uncle Hsun just said
to prove that your dad is not the chief.
Yes, that's great.
Right, Dad?
However, all the clues right now
are pointing to Dad as the chief.
With this clue,
the chances of overthrowing
that theory are small.
Even if this is just a small clue,
we still need to have hope.
Wang Chiang-ta.
However, Hsiao Tieh,
just like when you answer an exam,
if you change an answer in the end,
the chances of getting the answers wrong
is as high as 67%.
Wang Chiang-ta.
If you give up before you even wait
until you get the exam results,
that's even worse.
So I suggest you investigate
with me tomorrow to find out the truth.
If you don't come with me,
our friendship is over.
Come on.
Just stop being friends with me.
Then you don't need
to come tomorrow, right?
Come on, do it.
Aren't you incredible? Aren't you fierce?
Haven't you lost all your energy?
Okay.
Fine.
Sure!
Look.
-There's more?
-Yes.
Back then, most of the information
were not computerized.
That's why there's a lot.
What's this?
There's even a diskette?
Find a computer with a disk drive now.
Otherwise, I'll stick this in you.
Chiang...
Chiang-ta.
Never mind.
Let's investigate ourselves.
-Boss.
-What?
-I found it.
-Found what?
Wang Yu-ming's file.
There was a police officer
named Li Sung-lin.
Let me see.
Six years ago,
Li Sung-lin suddenly retired.
After two months, they found out
that he might be asking for bribes
from a hotel under his jurisdiction.
They prosecuted him for corruption,
but there wasn't enough evidence
to prove it.
Li Sung-lin.
He applied for early retirement
and has a criminal record.
He might be the chief.
If we ask to meet him now,
he'll surely be alarmed.
-Fei.
-Yes.
Check Li Sung-lin's other colleagues
in the police station back then.
No problem, I'll go right away.
You're the one Lao Chou recommended,
right?
Yes.
-I'm Fei, you are--
-Hello.
Sung-lin?
Hello.
Okay. You want to have a sideline?
You're right to come to me.
Here, take a look.
This is my main product.
And this one, too.
Sung-lin.
I'm Hsiao Tieh.
Hello.
It's okay.
Is he your friend?
I'm a prosecutor.
There are some things
that I want to ask you.
You tricked me.
Wasn't I already prosecuted before?
Now what?
Can't you give me a break?
No.
Actually, we have something important
to ask you.
That's why we asked you
to meet us this way.
You fooled me.
Hey, no.
Well...
I'm Wang Yu-ming's son.
Chiang-ta?
I'm Chiang-ta.
You're so big now.
You used to call me "Uncle" before,
remember?
Uncle Li.
Is my dad the chief?
Back then, I found out from the news
and from our colleagues
that something happened to Yu-ming.
I was really surprised.
I'm someone
who's quite gallant
and playful.
Yu-ming is different.
He's mature and responsible.
I was his partner
for about...
three years.
Hey, Chiang-ta. Do you remember?
When you come with your dad
to the police station,
your dad would surely ask you
to greet everyone
and call them "Uncle," right?
I remember.
No, you're asking me
if your dad was the chief in that case?
Based on what I know about him,
I don't think so.
Then...
Uncle Li.
Do you remember if you worked with my dad
on a cash-in-transit assignment
for an antique seller?
Hey.
Yes.
That's right.
When that incident happened,
I immediately thought about that.
In order to confirm it,
I even went to the scene of the crime.
Indeed.
It was that family.
On the day of the incident,
where were you?
Sir.
On the day of the crime,
I was asked to go to Hualien.
Go and check.
You should be able to verify that.
Back then, since you already connected
these two things together,
why didn't you provide any clues?
Or were you afraid
of bringing trouble upon yourself?
Were you also part of that assignment?
I didn't think that those things
were connected.
I just thought it was a coincidence.
Isn't it?
Your dad was part of that assignment.
The prosecution
would surely investigate him.
If I went there,
not only would it not prove his innocence,
but it would also make him look
more suspicious.
Am I right?
Mr. Prosecutor.
Is everyone who was part
of the assignment are under suspicion?
Do you want to investigate
Lin Shang-hsun as well?
He was also there.
What did you just say?
Lin Shang-hsun.
The three of us worked on it together.
Lin Shang-hsun and your dad
were classmates in the police school.
They're best of friends.
Are you going to suspect him, too?
And, based on what I know,
on the day of the incident,
he also had other assignments.
Chiang-ta, let me remind you.
You have to remain calm.
Don't be impulsive, okay?
Calm down?
How can you tell me to calm down?
If Uncle Hsun and my dad really went
on that assignment back then,
why didn't he tell me
in the last 23 years?
-Chiang-ta--
-He knows
that I've been searching
for the truth every day.
-Chiang-ta.
-He didn't tell me!
Yes, we have to ask him,
but if you don't calm down,
you know how Lien Chong-yen is.
If he knows your weakness,
he would surely trick you.
Then you won't be able
to ask anything anymore.
That's right.
When we go there later, I'll speak first.
Okay?
Let's go.
Lien Chong-yen.
You said Wang Yu-ming
escorted Wang Po-i before.
And found out about Wang Family's wealth.
That's why he secretly planned
to steal the Wang Family's assets.
And he was the mastermind.
Is that right?
That's right.
Have you found the records?
We did.
But there was no evidence...
in the records and we also found out...
that there were three people
on that assignment back then.
Wang Yu-ming already died
in the line of duty.
Li Sung-lin was in Hualien.
He has an alibi.
The third person is Li Shang-hsun.
I want to ask you.
Is Li Sung-hsun the chief?
Wang Chiang-ta.
What would you like me to say?
I want you to tell the truth.
You can't handle the truth.
You want me to tell the truth,
but did you tell me the truth?
Chiang-ta, calm down.
Lien Chong-yen,
answer my question earlier.
Is Li Sung-hsun the chief?
Wait.
What did you mean by that?
What do you mean
I didn't tell you the truth?
You didn't tell the truth.
You don't want the truth.
You want Chief to pay
for your dad's death.
Because if the chief is your dad,
you can't live with it.
You would have wasted
the last23 years of your life.
Lien Chong-yen!
Please don't change the subject.
Tell me who the chief is, if you dare.
Tell me.
Why are you looking for the chief?
Tell me what you're thinking?
Are you a coward?
Wang Chiang-ta.
Chiang-ta, don't fall for it.
Don't fall for his trick.
Calm down.
I want this chief...
to pay the price.
I want him to feel how it is
to lose his family
and receive harsh comments from everyone.
I want him to die...
since my dad and my mom died
because of him.
Are you satisfied?
Very good.
Wang Chiang-ta.
Remember what you said.
Let me tell you now.
The real chief is
Lin Shang-hsun.
So?
It doesn't feel good, right?
The person who has treated you
like his son, Lin Shang-hsun,
is the reason your father died.
Wang Chiang-ta.
You destroyed my life.
I also want to see you
destroy your life yourself!
Have you already found something?
You're so smart.
You're asking the obvious.
Uncle Hsun.
Can I talk to Chiang-wei?
It has been 23 years.
It's time to end this.
Subtitles translation by Coleen Chua
and Lien Chong-yen's fingerprints
matched perfectly.
Si-te.
I will hold your hand until the end.
Chief was your father, Wang Yu-ming.
It's impossible.
If you're trying to provoke me,
I'm sorry,
you didn't succeed.
I'm Boss Sheng-li.
I'm the only one who knows
who the chief is.
Why won't you believe me?
Because you're lying.
I know exactly what the truth is.
Also, I am my dad's alibi.
If your alibi is effective,
why didn't you defend him
when your dad died?
You let him suffer the injustice
for so many years.
Because the police don't believe
to a kid's statement.
Is that so?
Wang Chiang-ta.
I thought you're smart.
I didn't expect
that you're so blind and stubborn.
Have you ever thought that the reason
why they didn't believe your testimony
was because the evidence is weak
and ineffective?
Do you firmly believe
that what you said was true?
Tell me.
What's your alibi?
Black Devil, who was standing guard
back then, have already been arrested.
According to his testimony,
the crime took place at 4:30 p.m.
At that time,
I was right beside my dad.
That's it?
You're a smart person.
Why can't you get why no one believed
you have the evidence to prove
that the time you mentioned is accurate?
Is it possible that you
remembered it wrong?
That's impossible.
I'm 100% confident about my memory.
One hundred percent?
And I also have other pieces of evidence.
Okay, let me tell you.
I was Wang Yu-ming's source
in this case that he planned.
He came to me and I helped him
round up the people.
On the day of the crime,
we met up at the scene.
Wang Yu-ming just wanted to get his share.
He didn't want to participate.
Because he was a cop.
He doesn't want to dirty his hands.
After he opened the door and let us in,
and then he set up a meeting place.
Now, you did everything
to prove that I am Boss Sheng-li.
Then I'm the only one who can identify
who the chief is.
As for you,
what evidence do you have
to prove that your dad, Wang Yu-ming,
is not the chief?
Lien Chong-yen.
You're using the fact
that you're the only one who knows
who the chief is to invent nonsense.
However, let me remind you.
I'm not little Wang Chiang-ta anymore.
Since I was able to get you in here,
that means I can be able
to figure out who the chief is
based on what you're saying.
Wang Chiang-ta.
I remember you.
Back then, at the culvert,
I bumped into you on purpose.
You were just ten years old.
I signaled your dad
that something went wrong.
Your dad knew the situation was not good,
so he pretended to chase after us.
Do you know why?
If he didn't get his share,
then all his efforts would be wasted.
My dad didn't know you back then.
You're too naive, Wang Chiang-ta.
How old were you back then?
Is it so hard to pretend
that he doesn't know me in front of you?
My dad is not the chief. Stop lying to me.
Why do you want to frame him?
I didn't want to frame him.
Half a year before the case happened,
Wang Po-i sold some antiques
at an underground auction.
It was already late
when the auction ended.
He felt it wasn't safe to bring
so much cash at home.
So he requested a cash-in-transit guard
from the police.
Back then, the one responsible
for guarding the cash
was your dad, Wang Yu-ming.
He even escorted Wang Po-i to his house.
He saw the valuable antiques
in Yu-ming's house.
So he had a wicked idea.
And planned this theft.
He didn't know...
that he got some wrong information.
It ended up becoming a murder case.
If you think about it,
the real culprit
is your dad.
Wang Yu-ming.
You were just talking about the chief.
It doesn't mean that the chief is my dad.
My dad is not the chief.
If you don't believe me,
go to the police station
where your dad used to be assigned.
Check the records back then.
And see who was the cash-in-transit guard.
The answer lies there.
Chiang-ta, Lien Chong-yen said
your dad is the chief,
and you believe it?
What kind of person is Lien Chong-yen?
He's shrewd.
His main objective
is to make you fall for his trick.
He just wants to influence you.
I know.
He's just trying to provoke me,
but, you know,
his false accusations need
to have some basis.
I've already sent a letter
to the Mingkuang Police Station.
I asked them to check the work logs
the year before May as soon as possible
to see if there is such a record.
We might find out the result
early tomorrow.
Until there is enough evidence
or clues,
please don't worry about it, okay?
I want to prove it now.
I want to prove that my dad
didn't handle that work.
If I can prove that,
it means he's really lying.
He was just making false accusations.
He's gambling on the fact
that records from 23 years ago
have already been destroyed.
If I can't find those records,
he can continue to provoke me.
And think about it.
Lien Chong-yen knows who the chief is.
He provided proof now.
If that proof really exists,
that means my dad is really the chief.
However, if I can disprove what he says,
it can also prove
that my dad isn't the chief.
Yes, that's the logic.
That's right.
Chiang-ta, eat slowly.
You'll get gastroenteritis
if you eat that way.
Yes, Chiang-ta.
The rice wouldn't run away.
Eat slowly.
Here, Hsiao Chien. Eat slowly too.
Okay.
HANLIN CLOUD CLASS
You've been acting strange since earlier.
Did something happen?
I'm not sure if I should tell you.
Didn't I tell you
that we shouldn't keep secrets
from each other?
Tell me if there's a problem.
We'll resolve it together.
There's a document now
that can prove my dad's innocence.
I just need to have that document.
The closer I get to the truth,
the more anxious I feel.
You have to trust me, okay?
I've always trusted you.
I just hope...
that you wouldn't feel very disappointed
if the truth is not what you expected.
Don't let
the previous generation's problem
affect our lives, okay?
It won't.
No one can change the truth.
It won't.
I know you think it won't,
but I just...
I'm just worried
about the 0.01 percent chance.
There's no 0.01 percent chance.
That's impossible.
My dad is innocent.
Don't worry.
Chiang-ta.
Chiang-wei is just worried about you,
like your mom.
What do you mean "like your mom"?
You're all trying to console me.
Hsiao Chien.
Do you know anything I don't know?
I have an exam tomorrow.
Hsiao Chien.
What is it?
My dad said...
your mom believes
that your dad was involved,
but you were so young back then.
She was afraid that it might hurt you,
so she chose not to tell you.
She's really worried about you, though.
She thought
that you would accept it
when you grow older.
Back then, it seems like Mom
already believed that Dad is involved.
Does she really know
something that I don't?
WANG FAMILY REQUESTED
CASH-IN-TRANSIT GUARD
He got there at 6:20 p.m.
After a while, the cartoons started.
It's 1.5 kilometers away,
which is a 20-minute walk.
Nothing more.
So my dad and I parted ways at 6:00 p.m.
We walked for about 30 minutes.
One hour, at most.
So the accurate meeting time
should be around 5:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.
So catching bad guys make you
a good person?
Mom, don't say that.
One time, your dad was very late.
He even adjusted his watch secretly.
I almost believed him.
Is it really possible for Dad
to adjust his watch
because he was afraid to be late
for my birthday?
Let's say that was the case.
Then the chance that my dad
is not the chief is...
SIXTY PERCENT
The day, Dad gave you to me.
Yes.
Or was Dad late because he needed
to buy the toy car?
Can you prove that?
Is that what happened?
"Chiang-ta fought with his classmate
in school today.
He got hurt.
His wounds were treated
at the school clinic."
Hold out your hand.
You know this hurts.
If so, why did you fight
with your classmate?
Because he lost to me in track and field.
So he was saying bad things about Dad.
You fought with him
just because he said some things?
Until when will you be fighting?
Until you grow older?
No.
When the police find evidence
to prove Dad's innocence,
nobody would dare
to say those things anymore.
Innocence?
That wouldn't happen.
Listen, don't fight with anyone
about this again.
That way, you will just be reiterating
that your dad is a bad person.
My dad is not a bad person.
Mom, don't say that.
Your dad...
You'll know when you get older.
The diary.
LIFE
Mom's diary.
If you want to do big things,
you have to...
Why are you so early?
Is that the information?
You're my boss.
Are you trying to give me a hard time?
This is my breakfast.
It's not the information.
Stop it, okay, Wang Chiang-ta?
Speaking of which, you have to thank Fei.
Fei heard that you wanted
the information really quickly,
so he volunteered.
He went to the Mingkuang Police Station
last night to help find the information.
So did he find it?
Boss.
I brought the information over
as soon as I found it.
Chiang-ta.
Look.
Here's the photocopy.
Fei.
Thank you.
Bro.
Sit down.
It's still hot.
Please enjoy.
CASH-IN-TRANSIT WORK LOG
WANG YU-MING
How can this happen?
No way.
In this case,
the chance that dad
is not is the chief is...
Yes.
That's where the answer lies.
LIFE
I sorted out Yu-ming's stuff today.
I found the diamond ring I liked
when we passed by the jewelry store.
At first, I thought,
"Why would he have this?"
After checking
the quality assurance certificate,
I realized that he bought this ring
before the incident.
The news said
that he lost almost NTD 60,000
in some investments
and he didn't tell me about.
That's why he got involved
in the incident.
I felt really anxious.
So I asked Shang-hsun.
Shang-hsun said
that it seems like Yu-ming already
paid off his debts.
Where did he get the money from?
Could it be that he really sold
the information
about the Wang family?
And received some money as a tip?
My dad didn't kill anyone.
He also wasn't corrupt.
You have to believe Dad.
Dad is not a bad person.
He's surely not a bad person.
Definitely not.
My dad isn't corrupt!
Dad, you actually went
to the meeting place, right?
Actually, you're...
I've always believed
that you're not the chief.
You were supposed to be a very good cop.
Why did you lie...
Why did you lie to me?
You...
You know these people.
You know these people, right?
Chiang-ta.
Chiang-ta, what are you doing?
Chiang-ta!
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
Calm down.
What happened?
What's going on?
It's not what we expected.
I...
I've always...
believed that this is not the truth.
They asked me not to investigate.
But I've always investigated it.
I kept investigating until now. And...
I saw it.
Can you...
Can you calm down?
What happened?
Chiang-wei, don't touch me.
Don't touch me.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Thank you for trusting me.
Thank you for always trusting me.
But I really...
I really can't repay your trust.
What are you talking about?
What are you talking about?
Chiang-ta.
Chiang-ta, open the door, okay?
Chiang-ta.
Chiang-ta, open the door.
Tell me what happened.
Please.
Mr. Lien.
How did it go?
The Police Station said
that the prosecution's office
already copied the work logs
from May of that year.
Okay.
What about Wang Chiang-ta?
They saw him enter
the prosecution's office in the morning,
then he rushed out afterwards.
Wang Chiang-ta.
There are many more things
that you don't know.
Chiang-wei.
Auntie.
Chiang-wei.
Chiang-wei.
Chiang-ta.
I don't want to part ways with him.
I know.
I'm here for you.
Chiang-ta, open the door first. Okay?
I can listen to you.
Regardless of what happened
20 or 30 years ago,
our feelings are real.
My love for you is also real.
Do you remember the necklace you gave me?
We have to put them together,
so that it can be equal to one.
And one means forever.
Please open the door, okay?
You're really good.
I'm really sorry.
It's my fault.
So I think we should--
Do you want to be alone?
You don't want to see me right now?
It suddenly occurred to me
that I haven't been back
to Tainan in a long time.
I'll go back to Tainan and visit Auntie.
So you can be alone and calm down.
When I get back after a week though,
you must give me back my Big Cat, okay?
Chiang-wei.
You must be hungry.
Here.
Have some noodles.
Thank you, Auntie.
I'll eat it later.
Okay.
Are you all right?
I'm fine.
I just thought of Mom and Dad.
And I also feel sorry for Chiang-ta.
WANG CHIANG-WEI
Chiang-ta.
I'm already here in Tainan.
Don't worry about me.
I'll be back in Taipei next week.
Wait for me to come back.
I...
Chiang-wei.
You can't fall asleep?
Put this around you. Don't catch a cold.
Thank you.
I really can't understand
why we had
encounter such a thing?
If we can't find the answer
in the universe,
we have to find it in our hearts.
Auntie.
Yes?
There's one thing...
that I really can't figure out.
I need to know the answer today.
I'm here to see you.
I finally solved the mystery.
Dad, am I really stupid?
Mom.
I...
I even blamed you before.
It turns out that everything
is not what I thought it is.
Should I call you...
Should I call you Dad or Chief?
You let me live my life in this lie.
Now, I...
Now that I've solved the mystery. I...
I don't know what I should do next.
Wang Chiang-ta, let's go get some snacks.
Come on. Let's go eat something.
Let's go.
Let's go get a snack.
Let's go.
I'm not hungry.
Hey! You're not hungry, but I am.
Just go with me.
Watch me eat, if you want. Let's go.
That works on Chiang-wei, but on not me.
Let me tell you.
You can't get me out of here.
Are you coming or not?
Don't make me use force.
What?
You really want me to stop playing nice?
Hey!
Fight back.
Come on!
Come on, bro!
Hey.
Yes! I win!
I won over the champion, Wang Chiang-ta.
I'll take a photo and post it.
Okay.
Come on.
I'll send it to our groups.
I've already sent it, look.
Wang Chiang-ta lost to Tieh Pu-fan.
Never mind if you don't want to eat.
Let me know if you're hungry.
-Auntie.
-Yes?
Did Dad and Mom...
really died in the fire?
Why do I remember
that we were already inside the house
and didn't come from outside?
I used to think it was only a dream.
But now I feel like it was real.
You were really young when it happened.
Even if I told you the truth,
you might not be able to understand it.
Besides, you couldn't take it.
You got a post-traumatic stress disorder.
So the doctor especially advised me
not to upset you.
Otherwise, it might turn
into severe depression.
You don't have to worry about me now.
I'm not scared of anything
because of Chiang-ta.
Okay.
I'll tell you everything
about what happened that day.
On the day of the incident,
your parents were actually bringing us
to Hong Kong for an exhibit.
We didn't expect that you would have
a fever two days before.
Your fever was really high.
So your parents left
according to the plan.
They suddenly called along the way
and said that they're worried about you.
Suddenly, I heard a bang.
It was very loud.
I was so surprised.
What was the sound?
I traced where the sound came from.
Then, in the living room,
I saw...
Yen-pa, it's all your fault
that Boss had to shoot him.
Hsiao Chan.
We just agreed to just rob the place.
But you shot them.
I was worried that they
would come upstairs.
I immediately woke you up.
I held you and hid under the bed.
Hsiao Wei.
I seem to remember this part a bit.
Later on, the house caught fire.
But I don't know if they're still there.
So I didn't dare
to bring you out immediately.
Until the room was filled with smoke.
I really couldn't take it anymore.
That's when I took you away.
Hsiao Wei!
I remember now.
Why did you lie to me then?
Only one person was caught
after the incident.
The other culprits are still free.
If they knew someone is inside the house,
how can I protect you?
So I told everyone
that we came from outside.
That way, they won't know
that there were witnesses.
I see.
In order to hide the truth further,
I took you back to our home in Tainan
and raised you alone.
Auntie.
Thank you.
Thank you for letting me grow up at peace.
And you took all the worries
and fears by yourself.
Chiang-wei.
I really miss you.
I really want to hear your voice.
Big Cat Sherlock.
Do you want to have a date with Dorothy?
I saw a new movie
coming out in the theaters
from the television earlier.
I think you'll like it.
Let's watch it this Saturday.
Big Cat.
I saw a coat earlier when I went shopping.
I think it really suits you.
Do you like blue or green?
What are you doing?
I'm missing you a bit.
Chiang-ta, I'm already in Tainan.
Don't worry about me.
-I'll be back in Taipei next week.
-Your dad is bad.
-Catching bad guys make you a good person?
-Wait for me to come back.
One time, your dad was late
for a long time.
He even adjusted his watch in secret.
I almost believed him.
The chief is...
your dad.
Wang Yu-ming.
Your dad knew the situation was not good,
so he pretended to chase after us.
If he didn't get his share,
then all his efforts would be wasted.
Mr. Wang.
Based on our initial examination,
you don't suffer from a concussion,
just some scratches.
We've already covered your wounds.
You can go home and rest now.
I'm sorry. My change should be 28.
Three hundred
minus two hundred eighty-two.
Eighteen is the right amount.
Yes, it's 18.
I'm sorry, I made such a simple mistake.
Chiang-wei.
Did I wake you?
No.
I'm already up.
I just didn't want to get out of bed.
I'm not sure what to do after I get up.
I came back to Tainan,
so that Chiang-ta wouldn't see me
and feel guilty and blame himself.
God.
Fate really plays tricks on people.
I never expected that you and Chiang-ta
would have this kind of fate.
Auntie.
Reenacting what happened that day
might help me remember some things.
I...
I'm going to hide under the bed.
I want to remember
what happened that day.
Chiang-wei.
Don't force yourself.
Chiang-ta needs me.
Because of him,
I'm not scared of anything.
Then I'll do it with me.
Just like before.
Chiang-ta.
Boss.
Why is he staring at the blackboard?
I seriously suspect
that he damaged his brain
after he changed his hairstyle.
What are you talking about?
Go home first.
Okay.
I'll think of something to get him better.
So that Chiang-ta can go back
to his usual strong self.
Si-te's condition
is the same as Chiang-ta's.
I wonder if Si-te also feels the same way
at this time.
Mom.
The thing you're worried about happened.
Dad got caught.
But he's sick.
What should I do?
It's all my fault.
I didn't stop him from doing
those bad things.
Mom, this music box is so pretty.
Can I have it?
No.
Your dad gave it to me.
He's so busy with work.
He never gave me any gifts
on my birthday and Valentine's Day
each year.
That is his only gift to me
for our wedding anniversary.
Even though this music box is not new,
it must be something your dad bought
from the antique seller.
When I was young my mom had a jewelry box,
and when I opened it
the music is exactly the same as this.
-No kidding?
-It's true.
My mom had a jewelry box,
when I opened it, it's this music too.
Really? That's such a coincidence.
Chiang-wei's dad is an antique seller.
When I was little, I saw how my mom pair
these bags with her shoes.
And I found it very attractive.
My mother passed away
when I was very young.
But I can still recall
that she liked this brand too.
You know, we have a picture together
in my home
where she was holding this bag.
Really? What a coincidence.
So the things Dad gave mom
were the ones he stole
from Chiang-wei's house.
I remember now.
It was not a dream.
It was real.
What did you remember?
That day, the robber in our room
had a half-moon scar on his ankle.
I didn't see that back then.
Are you sure?
I remember it very well.
He used that foot
to extinguish the cigarette.
Auntie.
After you heard the gunshot,
you went to the living room.
What did you see?
Let's just handle this.
Why did you fire the gun?
Who fired it?
That means,
aside from Old Yen,
Chan Ting-hsuan,
and Lien Chong-yen,
there was a fourth person.
It's the chief.
I don't know.
He must be the chief.
Because I remember that Black Ghost
was standing guard outside the house.
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.
Wang Yu-ming didn't spend
much time at Wang family's house.
He had a chance to create an alibi.
That's not right, though.
Mr. Lien told me
that after Chan Ting-hsuan
entered the house,
the chief left.
In such a short amount of time,
he couldn't go to see Chiang-ta
and come back for you to see him.
Unless there was a sixth person involved.
Otherwise, Chiang-ta's dad
cannot be the chief.
That's right.
Regardless what Chiang-ta found
in the records,
if there were four people at the scene,
then it's impossible for Chiang-ta's dad
to be the chief.
The number you have dialed
cannot be reached.
Please try again later.
What's the matter?
Chiang-ta's still not answering?
He turned off his phone.
Auntie.
I'm really worried about Chiang-ta.
I'm going back to Taipei sooner.
Chiang-ta needs me the most right now.
I should stay by his side.
This time,
no matter how much he pushes me away,
I won't leave him.
Okay.
I'll go with you.
So have you found out the truth?
We were wrong.
We should never have searched
for the truth after all.
What do you mean?
You know what?
Dad lied to us.
For the past 23 years,
what we believed is not true.
It was just a lie.
You're lying!
Dad was framed.
Dad was definitely framed.
I'm not lying.
I don't know anything right now.
I don't know what to believe.
You didn't investigate seriously.
You have so much time.
You studied so hard.
You're even a university professor.
How can you not find the truth?
How can you say
I didn't investigate seriously?
For the past 23 years,
I think about this every day.
How can you say
I didn't investigate seriously?
I found the answer now.
The evidence is right there.
What do you want me to do?
I trust Dad.
Why do you still believe in him?
What proof do you have?
I don't have proof, I just know it.
Just like when you like Ms. Chiang-wei.
You don't have proof,
but you just know it.
Wang Chiang-ta.
Chiang-ta.
I finally found you.
Chiang-ta.
I don't have any energy left
to face all of this.
I never thought
that the Lion Wang Chiang-ta
doesn't like grassy fields.
Instead, you like coming inside caves.
To shelter yourself from the cold.
By the way,
I got a cold case this morning.
Let me tell you. Even Conan, Kindaichi,
and Sherlock Holmes can't solve it.
Only you can solve it.
I'm not interested.
You'll be interested. Let's go.
I'm not interested.
What are you doing?
What exactly are you doing?
What are you hiding from?
It has nothing to do with you.
What?
It has nothing to do with me?
Now, you're saying
it has nothing to do with me?
We've known each other since senior high.
You kept talking about your dad.
It was so annoying!
Have you ever thought about how I feel?
It was because of your dad's case
that I became a prosecutor.
You want to give up
just because of a minor setback?
Do you know that you're very selfish?
Have you thought about all my hard work?
Do you even know
that I already view your dad as my own?
Do you know that?
Hsiao Tieh, I'm sorry.
I wasted so much of your time.
You're really despicable, you know that?
Now, you're telling me
that you wasted my time?
Wang Chiang-ta, listen carefully.
You better pull yourself together.
Otherwise, you'll get it from me.
Hit me.
Hit me as much as you want to.
I won't fight back.
-Hello?
-Hsiao Tieh.
When can I visit my dad?
The judge has already decided
to keep him in detention.
No one can visit him.
You might need to wait for the prosecution
to finish collecting
all the pieces of evidence.
At that time,
when the judge lifts that order,
I'll inform you at once, okay?
No, my dad has lung cancer.
He can request bail
for medical treatment, right?
Your dad is very healthy.
The hospital already examined him.
He lied to you.
It's possible for him to do that.
It's okay.
As long as he's fine.
As long as he's fine.
As long as he's fine.
Si-te, are you okay?
I'm fine.
Si-te, your situation
is very similar to Chiang-ta.
When we were discussing this,
you knew that Chiang-ta's dad
might be involved.
However, it has nothing to do
with Chiang-ta.
Same as you.
Anything that your dad did
has nothing to do with you.
Don't put all the blame on yourself, okay?
I can be forgiving towards others.
But how can I ask others
to do the same to me?
I don't know how to face Chiang-wei.
She was such a good friend to me.
Chiang-wei treated you
like a very good friend indeed.
I was a witness to that.
Hsiao Tieh.
There are two things
in my house that I think
my dad took from the Wang family.
Can you please give them to Chiang-wei?
Can I suggest that you give them
to Chiang-wei yourself instead?
I want to.
But I really can't face her anymore.
My dad did such a thing to her family.
Let me take you home.
There's no need. I want to walk alone.
I'm afraid that your imagination
would run wild if you're alone.
I'll take you home.
Hsiao Tieh.
I really love my dad.
But he's a criminal.
And you're a prosecutor.
Aren't we incompatible to be together?
No.
We can face this.
We can resolve this.
Trust me, okay?
I really, really like you.
But I can't be that selfish.
You have a bright future ahead of you.
Si-te.
Si-te.
Miss, are you crossing or not?
Are you crazy?
Miss, are you thinking?
Pedestrians are a priority in the road.
Don't you know that?
-Are you done?
-Am I done?
You're unlucky today.
I'm a prosecutor.
I saw you went over
the double yellow lines a while ago.
And you created noise
when kept honking your horn.
This is my card.
I require you to please explain yourself
for this incident.
Do you have anyone you like now?
You're afraid to be left out?
We can also be together.
This way the four of us
can go out for dinner just like tonight.
-Please don't.
-What?
Back then, you saw it.
You were worried that I would be sad.
You were worried that I would be in pain.
You were thinking about me in everything.
But not that you're sad and in pain.
I can't be with you.
Do you know how much I want...
to give you a hug...
and be with you?
However, I don't know what I should do
to help you.
If I want to save Si-te,
I have to save Chiang-ta first.
Are you really not going to take the GSAT?
Yes, I've already decided.
Have you seen Chiang-ta?
He hasn't been here for days.
Yes, I feel like I haven't seen him
for a long time.
Hsiao Chiang is here.
Hsiao Chiang is here. Come on. Sit down.
Come on.
Uncle Hsun, Hsiao Chien.
Let them see what you look like right now.
Hsiao Chien.
Here is Chiang-ta.
Let me tell you.
Just call him Hsiao Chiang going forward.
Chiang-ta, what happened?
Uncle Hsun.
Talk to him.
Yell at him, if you have to!
I hope you can beat him up.
See if you can set him straight.
Chiang-ta, what happened?
Uncle Hsun.
What do you think?
It's because of the case.
Chiang-ta.
In the past 20 years,
you've always believed in your dad.
Why won't you trust him now?
Uncle Hsun, I discovered the truth.
Even if you have many evidence
against your father,
I would still choose to believe him,
if you ask me.
Your dad and I
was like you and Hsiao Tieh.
Feelings can't lie.
If I tell you Hsiao Tieh is corrupt
and bends the law for personal gain,
would you believe me?
Speak, Wang Chiang-ta.
What?
If you don't speak,
it means that it's possible for me,
Tieh Pu-fan, to be that kind of person.
In principle, no.
But if you get tempted...
in the future,
it's hard to say.
But not for the next ten years.
What do you mean
get tempted in the future?
What are you talking about?
Okay.
I'll write down what you said
on my clues wall.
One day, if that happens, you win.
That's right.
Just like how I believed
that your dad is innocent.
Yu-ming was the team leader back then.
He's responsible and righteous.
Everyone wanted to work with him.
However, Uncle Hsun,
I found a document.
It was supposed to prove Dad's innocence.
But the only signature on that work log...
was my Dad's.
Regardless of how many people
worked on it,
the team leader is the only one
who needs to sign on the form.
You mean...
even if many people were involved
in Wang Po-i's cash-in-transit request,
only my dad needs to sign on the work log?
In that case,
is it possible that one of those people
is the chief?
Yes.
Maybe we can make use
of what Uncle Hsun just said
to prove that your dad is not the chief.
Yes, that's great.
Right, Dad?
However, all the clues right now
are pointing to Dad as the chief.
With this clue,
the chances of overthrowing
that theory are small.
Even if this is just a small clue,
we still need to have hope.
Wang Chiang-ta.
However, Hsiao Tieh,
just like when you answer an exam,
if you change an answer in the end,
the chances of getting the answers wrong
is as high as 67%.
Wang Chiang-ta.
If you give up before you even wait
until you get the exam results,
that's even worse.
So I suggest you investigate
with me tomorrow to find out the truth.
If you don't come with me,
our friendship is over.
Come on.
Just stop being friends with me.
Then you don't need
to come tomorrow, right?
Come on, do it.
Aren't you incredible? Aren't you fierce?
Haven't you lost all your energy?
Okay.
Fine.
Sure!
Look.
-There's more?
-Yes.
Back then, most of the information
were not computerized.
That's why there's a lot.
What's this?
There's even a diskette?
Find a computer with a disk drive now.
Otherwise, I'll stick this in you.
Chiang...
Chiang-ta.
Never mind.
Let's investigate ourselves.
-Boss.
-What?
-I found it.
-Found what?
Wang Yu-ming's file.
There was a police officer
named Li Sung-lin.
Let me see.
Six years ago,
Li Sung-lin suddenly retired.
After two months, they found out
that he might be asking for bribes
from a hotel under his jurisdiction.
They prosecuted him for corruption,
but there wasn't enough evidence
to prove it.
Li Sung-lin.
He applied for early retirement
and has a criminal record.
He might be the chief.
If we ask to meet him now,
he'll surely be alarmed.
-Fei.
-Yes.
Check Li Sung-lin's other colleagues
in the police station back then.
No problem, I'll go right away.
You're the one Lao Chou recommended,
right?
Yes.
-I'm Fei, you are--
-Hello.
Sung-lin?
Hello.
Okay. You want to have a sideline?
You're right to come to me.
Here, take a look.
This is my main product.
And this one, too.
Sung-lin.
I'm Hsiao Tieh.
Hello.
It's okay.
Is he your friend?
I'm a prosecutor.
There are some things
that I want to ask you.
You tricked me.
Wasn't I already prosecuted before?
Now what?
Can't you give me a break?
No.
Actually, we have something important
to ask you.
That's why we asked you
to meet us this way.
You fooled me.
Hey, no.
Well...
I'm Wang Yu-ming's son.
Chiang-ta?
I'm Chiang-ta.
You're so big now.
You used to call me "Uncle" before,
remember?
Uncle Li.
Is my dad the chief?
Back then, I found out from the news
and from our colleagues
that something happened to Yu-ming.
I was really surprised.
I'm someone
who's quite gallant
and playful.
Yu-ming is different.
He's mature and responsible.
I was his partner
for about...
three years.
Hey, Chiang-ta. Do you remember?
When you come with your dad
to the police station,
your dad would surely ask you
to greet everyone
and call them "Uncle," right?
I remember.
No, you're asking me
if your dad was the chief in that case?
Based on what I know about him,
I don't think so.
Then...
Uncle Li.
Do you remember if you worked with my dad
on a cash-in-transit assignment
for an antique seller?
Hey.
Yes.
That's right.
When that incident happened,
I immediately thought about that.
In order to confirm it,
I even went to the scene of the crime.
Indeed.
It was that family.
On the day of the incident,
where were you?
Sir.
On the day of the crime,
I was asked to go to Hualien.
Go and check.
You should be able to verify that.
Back then, since you already connected
these two things together,
why didn't you provide any clues?
Or were you afraid
of bringing trouble upon yourself?
Were you also part of that assignment?
I didn't think that those things
were connected.
I just thought it was a coincidence.
Isn't it?
Your dad was part of that assignment.
The prosecution
would surely investigate him.
If I went there,
not only would it not prove his innocence,
but it would also make him look
more suspicious.
Am I right?
Mr. Prosecutor.
Is everyone who was part
of the assignment are under suspicion?
Do you want to investigate
Lin Shang-hsun as well?
He was also there.
What did you just say?
Lin Shang-hsun.
The three of us worked on it together.
Lin Shang-hsun and your dad
were classmates in the police school.
They're best of friends.
Are you going to suspect him, too?
And, based on what I know,
on the day of the incident,
he also had other assignments.
Chiang-ta, let me remind you.
You have to remain calm.
Don't be impulsive, okay?
Calm down?
How can you tell me to calm down?
If Uncle Hsun and my dad really went
on that assignment back then,
why didn't he tell me
in the last 23 years?
-Chiang-ta--
-He knows
that I've been searching
for the truth every day.
-Chiang-ta.
-He didn't tell me!
Yes, we have to ask him,
but if you don't calm down,
you know how Lien Chong-yen is.
If he knows your weakness,
he would surely trick you.
Then you won't be able
to ask anything anymore.
That's right.
When we go there later, I'll speak first.
Okay?
Let's go.
Lien Chong-yen.
You said Wang Yu-ming
escorted Wang Po-i before.
And found out about Wang Family's wealth.
That's why he secretly planned
to steal the Wang Family's assets.
And he was the mastermind.
Is that right?
That's right.
Have you found the records?
We did.
But there was no evidence...
in the records and we also found out...
that there were three people
on that assignment back then.
Wang Yu-ming already died
in the line of duty.
Li Sung-lin was in Hualien.
He has an alibi.
The third person is Li Shang-hsun.
I want to ask you.
Is Li Sung-hsun the chief?
Wang Chiang-ta.
What would you like me to say?
I want you to tell the truth.
You can't handle the truth.
You want me to tell the truth,
but did you tell me the truth?
Chiang-ta, calm down.
Lien Chong-yen,
answer my question earlier.
Is Li Sung-hsun the chief?
Wait.
What did you mean by that?
What do you mean
I didn't tell you the truth?
You didn't tell the truth.
You don't want the truth.
You want Chief to pay
for your dad's death.
Because if the chief is your dad,
you can't live with it.
You would have wasted
the last23 years of your life.
Lien Chong-yen!
Please don't change the subject.
Tell me who the chief is, if you dare.
Tell me.
Why are you looking for the chief?
Tell me what you're thinking?
Are you a coward?
Wang Chiang-ta.
Chiang-ta, don't fall for it.
Don't fall for his trick.
Calm down.
I want this chief...
to pay the price.
I want him to feel how it is
to lose his family
and receive harsh comments from everyone.
I want him to die...
since my dad and my mom died
because of him.
Are you satisfied?
Very good.
Wang Chiang-ta.
Remember what you said.
Let me tell you now.
The real chief is
Lin Shang-hsun.
So?
It doesn't feel good, right?
The person who has treated you
like his son, Lin Shang-hsun,
is the reason your father died.
Wang Chiang-ta.
You destroyed my life.
I also want to see you
destroy your life yourself!
Have you already found something?
You're so smart.
You're asking the obvious.
Uncle Hsun.
Can I talk to Chiang-wei?
It has been 23 years.
It's time to end this.
