What did she say?

Play it again.

The first word looks like "same."

"Shame."

I think it's "shame."

- And I think you're lame.
- "Safe."

She said, "Save her."

Save her? No, watch it again.

I think it's "safe."

Trust me, it's "save her."

Maestro! Where are you here?
The studio is downstairs.

- I'm sorry.
- Turn around.

This way? We can't see. So sorry.

You're screwed if you don't figure it out now.

"Breaking news."

Save her, please save her...

Chen Tang, CEO of Sheng-Tang Developer

is saying exactly the words "save her".

Today, Ministry of Interior, along with
Sheng-Tang and many other developers

are going to announce the reactivation
of the Mituo Project.

For today, I have changed my prosthetic friend

into a new outfit with
blue and white porcelain design.

It is just in like the poem,

but also a symbol of Sheng Tang Group's

Chen Tang received a mysterious phone call

And in a rush she left in tears.

The person she shed her tears for

should be the 85-year-old Founder
Yueh-ying Tang-She

who had an accident at her nursing home today

and is being resuscitated now.

Sheng-Tang Group is a leading corporation

with top earnings domestically.

Silence, everyone.

Stand by.

Heaven and Earth know, you and I know.

Even God knows too.

As a man sows, so he shall reap.

It's only a matter of time.

Dear friends, Show King is
back to tell you another story,

a mysterious, mind-enticing story.

This Mituo Project

that everyone is investing with enthusiasm

actually should have been
activated long time ago.

But an incident that shocked Taiwan took place

and halted the project.

In this story, there are murders

gunshots

and presence of ghosts

as well as teenage love with an unhappy ending

the Taiwanese Romeo and Juliet

This is a love story.

Indeed.

"The crabapple branch snapped, quick and clean."

"Upside down the nest turned, North wind blows."

"The widowed mother and the single daughter
do not feel heart to heart."

Chung Tuan, there.

Where?

There

Let's go together.

Yes, yes.

There.

Chen-Chen, where's your sister?

Spend one dollar to buy today,

sell for one-hundred dollars tomorrow.

Who wouldn't like such an alluring game?

See? Speaker Wang's wife is
staging her art show here.

Talk of the central government
developing this area

isn't just a rumor.

Mr. Lin, you must take
advantage of the opportunity.

Yeah, I may only be a money handler.

Madame,

you know our bank is...

Mr. Lin,

Speaker Wang will likely be
the party Chairman next year,

so we must build a good relationship.

But we must open up a new path.

Feng is falling behind.

Party Secretary General Feng

But you get a better view
when few people are around.

Chen-Chen, didn't I tell you
to wake your sister?

I didn't see her.

I did.

I just saw Ning with two guys

chatting away.

Oh dear.

Her cousins arrive from afar
and she drops everything.

Mrs. Lin, your old jade piece

was brought by them from Burma.

Please have a look.

(Japanese) Please have a look.

Is this Nishijinori?

Yes, this is Nishijinori.

Mrs. Lin, I hope you don't mind that I

got this gift for you
to give to Speaker Wang's wife.

- She loves the Bodhisattva.
- Hello.

Yes.

Madame, thank you the your kind arrangements.

Excuse me.

Lady Wang's car has exited the expressway.

So quick.

Might as well.
More time to chat with her ladyship.

Let's go.

The one to reconcile does so

not because they admit defeat,

but because they cherish.

Hold no grudge with a smile.

Kuei's success today

is all thanks to Madame's nurturing.

Yeah.

Not at all. Kuei is a great writer.

All I did was make a call to Chief Editor Chao.

Chen-Chen.

Pien-Pien.

There's a secret guest tonight.

Kidding.

- Keep working hard, Kuei.
- OK.

Thank you, Godmother.

Nothing special, please accept it.

- Pretty good.
- Yes, amazing artistry.

Look, Lady Wang's fan drawing.

They should be here soon, right?

I think they should be here soon.

Let's wait a little longer.

Lady Wang, this way.

Watch the bottom door frame,
it's a little wide.

- Take it slow.
- OK.

It's great.

It's so beautiful here.

So lovely.

They're playing a tune for you.

Good. Good.

Oh.

Looks like the little Tang girl
has been snacking.

Lady Wang, credit for your art show today

really has to go to Councilor Lin.

My humble art is allowed
in such a beautiful garden.

Ah, it's too improper.

Lady Wang, you are too modest.

We know you are a Buddhist,

so we asked Madame Tang

to pick out an antique bodhisattva
especially for you.

You shouldn't have...

Here it is.

Oh, this is so beautiful.

Yes, this fabric is Kyoto's famous Nishijinori.

Mrs. Lin is so thoughtful.

A genuine bond of friendship.

The bodhisattva will
surely bless the Speaker Wang

Next year we'll be
calling you the Chairman's lady.

Look.

Sorry.

It's my fault, I didn't wrap it properly.

The bodhisattva has absorbed Lady's misfortune.

A broken piece brings peace.

A broken piece brings peace.

It's OK! As long as everybody is OK!

But Yueh-Ying,

you said it absorbed my misfortune.

What misfortune would I have had?

Hello! Ladies and gentlemen,

the auspicious greetings not finished yet?

Aunty Wang, your favorite snow cake.

Ay!

Nearly a grown woman yet
still like a delinquent.

The delinquent was up all night
setting up your show.

Look.

The Tang family always
pays attention to detail.

Mom even made uniforms for us
to welcome you in.

Look at them, all three of them
wearing the same pattern.

What a sight!

Three generations from the same family.

Oops, I meant three women.

When the three of you stand up,

everyone here stops in their tracks.

Lady Wang, you are so playful.

We're all supporting actors. You're the star.

Look at this venue.

Our Ning-Ning

spent days planning it for your ladyship.

Yes, yes. Your Ning-Ning is so capable.

Honestly, the previous art shows

were all dead and cold
because of the old curators.

You know the funniest thing?

They're now really into something called...

buffet

One plate per guest,

and they all have to line up

to retrieve their food.

Aren't they just like beggars?

Isn't it funny?

Yikes.

No wonder Granny Ying
brought this fish in person.

Turns out she was delivering a red envelope.

What era is this?

People still stuff red envelopes
in fish bellies?

Hilarious.

Wang Ma!

Wang Ma! VIP section.

Chen-Chen. Perfect timing.

Take this red envelope back with you.

Don't worry about this for now.

Change the VIP section from buffet
to table dishes.

You're kidding me.
It's far too late to change dishes.

But Lady Wang...

We don't have that kind of time.

Where can we get the ingredients?

- Madame is always like this.
- Wang Ma.

Don't make it hard on the child.

The commoners outside can eat as planned.

For the VIP section, just steam this fish.

Toss together whatever's left for more dishes.

I'll take the red envelope.

You take care of things here.

Ning!

"See you off at the train station"

"You turn around and off you go"

"Like a kite with a broken string"

"Let go and you fly freely away"

"I still have a few more words"

"that I want to share with you"

"Seems it's best to keep them inside"

"I wait every single day"

Election victory!

Where the hell is he?

Marco is not coming.

"Not that I'm tired of waiting,"

"but times have changed."

"Women have their own dreams."

This is delicious.

Have more.

County Speaker, this is to you!

This is to you!

Let go!

Which newspaper are you from?

I am just taking photos of...

Get out!

Do you know where I work?

Get out!

Let go!

Hey you!

It's ok.

Greetings to all the officials.

My apologies, County Mayor,
County Speaker, mesdames.

I am a tiny, insignificant official,

the one they call
the "charming but not obscene".

Little Don Juan at your service.

I'll drink first to
show my respect, introduce myself.

Lady Wang.

I apologize. Have some more.

Where is he from?

Construction and Planning Agency.

Excuse me, but I'd really like to...

Sir, you drank to show your respect again.

Does that mean you have no respect for me?

Of course not.

Come, let's go drink outside.

Of course.

Little Don Juan is busy right now.

Maybe later.

See you

This idiot is coming here to look for a payout?

County Speaker, don't you worry.
I'll take care of this.

Morning

Where did you hide my sleeping pills?

Didn't the doctor prescribe you
a whole box last week?

I finished it ages ago!

Hey...

The doctor says
you mix sleeping pills with alcohol.

Can't you just let me...

Don't touch me!

Little Moron,

what are you barking at?

I'll go take a look.

Give me my sleeping pills!

I don't have them!

The guests are here.

Why train a child to

receive guests all day?

She should be out playing on weekends.

Chen-Chen.

Buy me some paint on your way back.

Want to use the civet cat coffee beans?

You're a clever one.

Here.

- Ok.
- Let's go.

Welcome, Sir.

Seems you're about to have a son.

Because this was
Emperor Qianlong's favorite chamber pot

when he was a boy.

Impressive.

This bodhisattva has found you, Sir.

The power of the gods may be infinite,

but inside this house,

whether it is Guan Yu or Guanyin,
a chamber pot of spittoon,

everything still has a price.

Sit.

For the sake of our bond, I won't haggle.

Lucky you, one price only: 50 grand.

This...No way is this just worth 50 grand.

This is a fake!

Relax. The Tang family does not deal in fakes.

Sir, what you need to see is its future value,

not the value you see before you.

You don't believe me?

Why don't you take the bodhisattva

and let any antique expert appraise it?

I bet they'll all value it
at 10 times my offer.

As long as the Mituo Project goes to Xiushan...

No way. Let me tell you.

You've hit the crux.

As a public servant earning
a government salary,

I must not abuse my power.

Chen-Chen.

Wipe this up with a clean cloth.

A very clean cloth.

The Tang family likes to hold on to old things.

We're asking you to look
after the bodhisattva for now.

But later on,

once the Mituo Project is approved,

you can bring it back,

and this bodhisattva will be
promoted to buddhahood!

(Two million.)

Come! Cheers!

Cheers! Thank you.

Cheers!

Congratulations.

Mituo is about to strike it rich.

Oh, stop fanning, Special Assistant!
I'll catch a cold!

What is it?

It's a 500 grand fan!

Your boss doesn't mind you fanning it so hard?

You bought this fan
from the Speaker Wang's wife...

for 500 grand?

How could I not?

Madame's selling fans up top,

officials asking for red envelopes down low.

My wallet has been sucked dry.

Oh.

Only Mrs. Lin seems very composed.

She's even wearing a new necklace.

Indeed.

Look at that color and clarity!

I introduced the purchase to Mrs. Lin.

Oh, really?

General Tang's old subordinates

brought back this jade from Burma.

No wonder.

Mrs. Lin didn't put everything on today.

The whole set has earrings,
a necklace, and a bangle.

That clarity is just...

That's what you call stylish!

You must show us the whole set next time!

I have a white dress too.

If it matches this kind of green,

I'd be quite stylish too.

Yes, I remember.

- It's silk.
- That's right.

White silk dress with this jade.

Oh, it's too beautiful.

Come, let's raise our glasses to Mrs. Lin.

The Mituo Project wouldn't have been a success

without Councilor Lin mediating the financing

with the bank.

Yes, thank you.

Thank you very much.

You speak Japanese?

Only this one phrase!

Mr. Lin.

Relax a little.

Pien-Pien's grown up now.

Problems happen when you don't give them space.

Has Chen-Chen recently

said anything to you about Pien-Pien?

Chen and I aren't that close.

If you're too controlling,

Pien-Pien might end up an unwed mother.

That would bring a lifetime of trouble for you.

(Japanese) Light.

Lonely.

I'm lonely.

An elephant is heavy.

Lonely.

I'm lonely.

momo-chan!

momo-chan!

Chen-Chen!

momo-chan!

Marco, don't mind her.

Pull up your pants.

Chen-Chen, why are you so drenched?

We went riding.

It started pouring.

And then?

Momo ran off.

I went after her.

And then?

I don't know.

Is that so?

Why didn't Marco help you?

Yes, he helped...

Pien-Pien helped me look for momo-chan.

So Marco went riding with you today?

Then I should talk to Marco about this.

With a short-lived happiness

a tragedy ensues.

Mituo County Councilor

and bank executive Ching-Tang Lin

his wife Fujiwara Seiko

the driver, and the butler

All five of them were tied up by
perpetrators at night

and shot to their death.

Only his daughter, Pien-Pien Lin, survived

but is now left paralyzed.

What on earth is this kind of deep hatred for?

Now it is nearly impossible to save her.

She has no strength at all

and is not able to speak.

We will use the shortest time possible

to figure out this case

to catch the perpetrators
and bring them to justice.

Is Pien-Pien Lin awake?

Director General,
what is the cause of this murder?

Care to elaborate?

Excuse me, this is a restricted area.

It's OK, he's with us.

Director General.

Director General, welcome.

Thanks.

You came all this way just for this case.

We really appreciate it.

We were all friends with Councilor Lin.

If you can think of any clues,

please provide them to Captain Liao.

Director General,
we are all in pain over this tragedy.

How could this happen?

We were all just having dinner
together last night.

Everyone dined together before the crime?

Yeah

We dine together

quite regularly for different occasions.

Last night's atmosphere was pretty good.

Director General, officers.

Thank you all for coming down from the capital.

We really appreciate it.

The County Speaker
has booked a restaurant nearby.

Let's continue discussing over lunch.

- Discuss over lunch.
- No, thanks.

We still have a lot of work to do.

I appreciate the sentiment.

Solving the case takes top priority.
Thank you all.

Thank you, Director General.

You've worked hard.

That time when the old general scolded us hard.

Madame, to you.

Children shouldn't interfere in adult affairs.
Go to bed.

This wine is good.

Good wine.

Ah, the soup is here.

Oh!

The soup I've been longing for!

Oh! Thank you, Madame.

Simmered for many hours.
The General's favorite.

Have some.

It's good for your health.

When I served under the General

Madame also looked after me.
lam still grateful!

Whenever I see you boys

I would think of the old General.

If I don't look after you boys,
who would I look after?

Come, drink.

Bottoms up.

Madame surely can drink.

Shall I tell everybody another joke?

Oh, Madame.
That kitchen fire joke you just told

already had us in stitches.

I have tons of jokes.

Come, drink.

Let's eat and discuss work at the same time.

Thank you.

Director General,
based on our initial analysis,

the crime was very well-executed.

The deceased all
had their mouths stuffed with candy.

We think only a professional killer

would have this kind of ritual.

Please take a look.

Yes.

According to staff

from the Lin family farm that night,

a former employee was seen
running away from the scene.

The suspect's name is Chin-Shan Wang.

21 years old, nickname "Marco".

Last week, he got into
an argument with the Lins,

supposedly about his relationship
with Pien-Pien Lin.

He bought 2 train tickets back to his hometown.

But security footage suggests

he didn't board the train
and returned to town instead.

We are currently boosting manpower

to track down where the suspect may be hiding.

Very good.

This case has to be

motivated by either passion, money or revenge.

Now that we have a lead,

we should continue with
the "crime of passion" angle.

Come.

Cheers.

You can sure drink, Madame.

Look, Ning's secret stash.

You're using these things?

Are you trying to kill yourself?

From now, no one is
allowed to mess around in here!

Go!

Don't go to school later.

Go visit Pien-Pien with me.

OK.

You're still the best.

Let's go, come.

Little Moron is the best.

Don' be naughty like the "big moron".

Mommy loves you the most.

Major news this week

from September 9 to 15.

The government is
activating its anti-corruption sweep,

declaring war on the underworld

The doctor says,

As long as someone talks
to Pien-Pien every day,

her chances of recovery will be better.

Poor Pien-Pien.

What a callous act by her boyfriend.

But when the police asked me,

I told them

when we dined with Mr. Lin that night,

everyone got along fine. Didn't we?

Yes.

I've said all along that we were getting along.

Special Assistant, excuse me.

The bank is on the line.

Why does a simple thing
have to get so complicated?

I've got to handle everything myself.

The Police has declared that

Useless.

There is no deadline for
the crackdown on organized crime

He's fine, don't worry.

She's fine, don't worry.

Why did you go back
to Pien-Pien's place that night?

Is the black better

or the white?

White.

White stands out.

Especially with this jade.

Mrs. Lin was such a nice woman.

I was just praising
her jade necklace, wasn't I?

In just a few days

she actually brought
the whole set of jewelry to my house

Now

I don't know whom I should return it to.

Special Assistant of
the County Speaker invited us

to choose a cemetery for the Lins.

We should go together.

Of course.

Actually,

the day before the incident,

Mrs. Lin called and invited me
to afternoon tea,

saying there was something
she wanted to discuss.

What about?

I was in a rush to leave the house
so I didn't ask.

It was very strange.

When we usually speak to Mrs. Lin in Chinese

she seems to not understand,

but her Chinese was very fluent
on the phone that day.

I think it was about loaning money to buy land.

Do you recall

the County Speaker was very unhappy that night?

- In front of everybody, he...
- I think

Mrs. Lin knew too much.

The investigation into
the Mituo councilor killings

has led to a new case.

During the recent search for suspect,

another body was discovered by accident.

Construction and Planning Agency
officer Hsien-tsung Ku.

The case is closed as suicide,
but Ku's family has doubts.

This is too much...

There must be a reason behind this.

Someone must have forced him.

I'm asking everyone to please help us.

Daddy

Daddy

This is the cemetery we find.

Look, with such openness facing forward

Right? It's really good.

And a mountain to rely on in the back.

Come to me if you need anything.

Isn't the County Mayor's wife coming today?

She has instructed that

the County Mayor will do everything to help.

I knew it.

Every time there's trouble, she mumbles.

There they are.

My husband was threatened by
the County Speaker before he died.

He must have offended those people.

Hey you, get the County Speaker out of here.

Let go.

Murderer! Land manipulator!

My husband would have never

How could he have misspelled
the names of his wife and kid?

Want it? Want it?

Godmother, let's help Mrs. Ku out.

Madame Tang

When my husband brought
the bodhisattva statuette home,

he kept whispering that bodhisattva
will make him rich.

But only half a year later,

he took the bodhisattva away,

and was sad and worried all the time.

He never said anything
when I asked him about it.

Do you think you can...

We're just people at the bottom.

I don't know what's going on at the top either.

Madame, there's no way
my husband killed himself.

He got his own son's name
wrong in the suicide note.

Madame, I beg you.

He must have been forced.

You have to help us redress this injustice.

Madame, I beg of you.

I'm sorry but I can't help you.

Miss Tang, I'm sorry.

I'm not worthy of this bodhisattva.

Please take it back.

Sir

Do you know how many people's
funds are tied down

due to you moving the order
of the developments around?

But the decision came from the top.

Everyone knows not all investments make money.

But some people,

like our County Speaker,

are extremely upset about this.

Figure out what to do about Xiushan.

Kaohsiung County Speaker
Tien-Fa Hsu was stopped

and asked for an explanation by the
family of the official who committed suicide.

Hsu did not make a public statement

but asked his assistant
to address his innocence.

He did not do what they claimed he did.

The County Speaker has
a justified and clear conscience.

Wow, the County Speaker is now doomed.

Madame, the tailor has sent the clothes over.

Let's take a look.

Hey.

Come here.

Pretty?

Such awful clothes again?

We're so close to the Lins.

Can't we get something better for the funeral?

I made one for you and Chen-Chen as well.

The whole family's going in uniforms again?

It's a funeral.

Why should we show up?

I wore my old set to Uncle Chang's funeral

and ran into the County Mayor's wife.

She said,

Wow, your outfit looks so comfortable,

like a pair of pajamas.

Pajamas!

How can I not make a new set?

When the County mayor's wife dies

you can wear pajamas to her funeral.

Sure.

Come.

I went to see the task force today

Do you remember the man
who came with the Director General,

Captain Liao?

Mm.

I asked around.

The captain is a great guy.

Divorced a few years ago.

Only one child.

You just can't help yourself.

Can't you stop talking about men all the time?

You think I'm only worthy
of being a stepmother now?

Or a mistress?

I was thinking for your sake.

You always think good intentions
have ulterior motives.

Whoa.

This sexy nightgown doesn't even have padding.

Is it for you?

I saw it at the department store.

Come on.

Is it comfortable?

Try it.

Wow, it's so pretty.

Imported from Japan.

What's on your mind now?

Life of a princess.

Fortune of a handmaiden.

Yeah, I have a life of a princess
but a fortune of a handmaiden.

Otherwise, let your princess Chen-Chen wear it.

"Should I have known that
you were never true to me,"

"I would have never fallen for you so easily."

July 23,

Sunny.

You said

you're taking me to your hometown far away.

One stop after another.

Dear passengers,

the train heading toward Huatung
is about to depart.

Please board the train immediately.

Next stop.

Duoliang Station.

Xianglan Station.

Sanhe Station.

Taimali Station.

Lonely.

I'm lonely.

Are you lonely?

Yes, I'm lonely.

Chen-Chen.

She's been eavesdropping.

momo-chan!

So they really were in love?

You're the only one who can save Marco now.

Can you tell me what you know?

OK.

They'd been secretly dating all this time.

How did they get discovered?

I don't know.

You're really the only one who can save him.

One day we went out horse riding

and momo-chan ran off, so I chased after her.

By the time I returned
they'd already been discovered.

Mrs. Lin asked me about the two of them

and I said I knew nothing.

Momo ran off.

I went after her.

And then?

I don't know.

Is that so?

Why didn't Marco help you?

Yes, he helped...

Pien-Pien helped me.

He did.

He helped me look for momo-chan.

So on the night of the incident,

did Pien-Pien say anything to you?

No.

No?

We checked the security footage
from the station.

After Marco left,

you showed up there.

Why?

To tell him...it's over.

Why didn't you go with him?

It was all your fault.

Hurry and go!

That's it?

Nothing else apart from this diary?

Mm.

Really?

In that case,

You asked Marco
why he went back to the Lin home that day?

That night,

a lot of adults came over for dinner.

Pien-Pien's parents came too.

Later, they got into an argument.

Who?

Captain Liao.

Shouldn't questioning be done back at office?

It's nothing.
Just having a chat with your sister.

What would a child know?

Why don't you chat with me next time?

What are you doing?

You always forget when I ask you to buy paint.

Come buy some paint with me today.

Spend some time with me. Just five minutes.

Marco

Marco! Marco, where are you?

Little Moron, shut up.

Little Moron.

Little Moron.

Little Moron.

Little Moron.

Little Moron.

Little Moron is here with "big moron".

Didn't I tell you not to come here?

I'm getting my easel and paint.

By the way, Mother.

Captain Liao questioned Chen-Chen.
Is that right?

Want to make a call to the Director General?

It's a police investigation. What can I do?

Where's Chen-Chen?

Chen-Chen?
I think she took in a stray cat recently.

What? A cat?

Oh dear.

Ah.

Let me ask you.

Did Captain Liao mention anything about Marco?

It's best if that boy is never found.

If he's caught alive,

even if he didn't do it,

the police will probably force him to confess.

Mother.

So you think he's better off dead?

It would put everyone's mind at ease.

How could you be so mean?

I learned it from you.

Big moron.

Captain, we found a pistol in the bush.

There's more.

Looks like there were two people on the scene.

One ran away.

There's a bag of candies
in the trunk of the car.

Judging from the packaging

it appears to come from Burma.

A bank run erupted today at the bank

formerly chaired by
the head of the massacred Lin family.

Large crowds began gathering outside

from the early hours of the morning,

Sources indicate that

investigations into the bank's assets

reveal a shortage of at least NT$3 billion,

suspected to be the result
of long-term overlending.

Let's go back to the scenes at the bank.

Madame.

People from the Prosecutors Office
are here for you.

Madame, they're at the door.

There is a new development

for the Lin family massacre.

A bank run erupted today at the bank.

The prosecution immediately subpoenaed

the Kaoshiung County Mayor's wife,
Special Assistant and more

to question them
over the bank's over-loan.

Mother! Your medicine!

Who's paging for Chung Tuan?

Please ask 5428 to call Ning Tang.

Ok.

Thank you.

Miss Tang, still waiting for the Madame?

Seems the prosecutor's questioning
will take a while.

It's not that.

My mother forgot her blood pressure pills.

I'm just bringing them for her.

I kept telling her not to hang
around these people.

Stupid.

Now she's in trouble.

Here.

Did you just wipe your mouth with this tissue?

Smells like braised pork rice.

Try some.

Indonesian civet cat coffee beans.

Thanks.

Wow, smells nice.

Your sister said the adults had an argument

that night at your house.

My sister?

Isn't she?

Stop pretending.

You seem to know my family inside out.

Their money was locked up in the Xiushan land.

Environmental protection
was said to be the issue.

Turns out that developing Lishui
becomes the priority,

and everyone is furious.

And then last week,

their bank loans nearly got exposed.

They invited Mr. Lin over that day because

they wanted to know who leaked to the press.

The County Speaker's voice
got a little too loud...

Say it!

Who told you to write about the bank?

County Speaker, calm down.

Here, have a drink.

It's OK.

Drink.

You got some nerves!

Say it!

Where did you get the info on the bank loans?

Say it!

I really don't know anything.

My mother was unhappy
and scolded them a little.

Enough! Where do you think you are?

In the end, everybody went their separate ways.

And then the tragedy happened.

My mother often says,

Servants don't have mouths or ears.

I've said too much.

Besides,

you're going to make me offend a lot of people.

Apologies.

This coffee really is delicious.

You're right.

Because it's made from shit.

It really is, Officer.

It's the shit of civet cats
that ate coffee beans.

Land speculation is like this coffee bean.

It's shit, but everyone keeps
saying it smells good.

That's how shit becomes as valuable as gold.

But if the land you bought using gold

turns back into a pile of shit,

wouldn't you want to murder someone too?

How many people broke
into your house that night?

One blink for each person.

Pien-Pien Lin, can you hear me?

Captain, she just woke up.
Don't push her too hard.

Pien-Pien Lin has finally awoken from her coma.

This is a huge morale boost for the police.

We will get to
the bottom of the case very soon.

Thank you.

Hey, listen, it's great.

Now that Pien-Pien is awake

That Marco boy can clear his name.

Focus.

(The Heart Sutra)

When you hear terror,

as long as you face it with courage,

it will disappear.

When you see terror,

as long as you confront it,

it will never be seen again.

As the ghostly atmosphere looms over Mituo,

In the bank account of Kaohsiung County Speaker

Tien-fa Hsu,
who is involved in the bank over-loan

there is a transfer

of NT$326.8 million

from the wife of Speaker Wang.

One legislator accuses directly

that this is the solid evidence
that the Speaker's wife

is involved in the land speculation
of the Mituo Project.

He even points out that
the Lin family massacre may be

It is said that

if you want to be
an honest government official,

you can only lead a frugal life.

Alas, this ruthless fire

it keeps burning and burning

now onto Speaker Wang's wife.

How on earth will this end?

Defamation! This is all defamation!

Look, Speaker Wang's wife
is going down this time.

She's all over the news.

Boss,

they all bought land using dummy accounts.
It's hard to check.

Mr. Lin also invested in Xiushan land,

but there's a NT$3 billion gap in his assets.

NT$3 billion?

If it's swallowed by a dummy account,

we must quickly figure out where it's hidden.

Miss Tang?

Captain Liao, you're too kind.

My mother told me to bring the bodhisattva over

to bless you so the case can be solved.

But over here...

The murder case that
got the Director General promoted

was also miraculously solved because of it.

I even brought civet cat coffee
to freshen you up.

There's no need.

But your colleagues all love it.

Don't tell them what the beans are made from.

Miss Tang.

You want to ask me about dummy accounts?

Don't all rich people use them?

These dummy owners should all be staff members,

close friends and elderly people.

They won't be swallowed up

unless it's some kind of shameful transaction,

the type only two people know about.

Do you know if Mr. Lin
has any other investments

apart from the Mituo project?

Theme parks, horse stables, hotels

That's probably about it.

Please stop asking.

They're all just dummy accounts anyway.

You'll never catch them.

Then have you heard...

Wait.

Don't you have anyone to sew buttons for you?

There, take me there.

It is to the best interests of this nation
that these people are not tolerated.

Chief Editor Chao,

Wow, what a big piece of news.

Must be hard on you with so much pressure.

Where's my pills?

Only you could have handled it.

Give me my pills!

Go to sleep. Be good.

- It's nothing.
- I've taken a bunch of pills.

- But still wide awake.
- No one else could have clone it.

Chief Editor Chao,

I'll never forget your great service.

I'll leave it at that. Goodbye.

Hey!

Are you crazy?

Mixing sleeping pills with alcohol?
You want to die?

Give it to me!

Give it to me!

Give it to me!

Captain Liao asked me
where Mr. Lin's NT$3 billion is.

So I said everyone was
tied down by the Xiushan land.

Why don't you ask
who got rich buying land in Lishui?

Give it to me

Mother, did you buy land in Lishui?

I didn't!

You didn't buy land in Lishui?

I didn't!

If I bought it the police
will come to arrest me.

You want me to go to prison?

Mother.

I saw photos of Chung Tuan's body
at the police station.

I saw photos of Chung Tuan's body
at the police station.

What did you ask them two to do?

Do drink yourself to death!

Let me have a look

Your hand is bleeding. Let mommy have a look!

Fuck you!

I'm just trash anyway, right?

Mother.

Am I your luxury bag?

For you to show off everywhere
since I was little.

Now I'm old, so you've gotten a new one, right?

You're so amazing

You turned my daughter into my sister

I did it for you

Can't you live like a normal human being?

Did it for me?

You did it for the sake of not losing face.

What's a normal human being?

What's a normal human being?

Injustice deep in the sea, against one's wish

Mother and daughter wander around and around

Follow my lead,
and I'll show you what's in sight.

Flesh and blood fight each other
that leads to grudge

You reap what you sow, and karma persists.

Don't separate no matter what.

Douliang Station.

Xianglan Station.

After the dark tunnel,

it's the Pacific Ocean.

In the Pacific there's

a very, very big...

Chen-Chen.

Dirty girl.

She's been eavesdropping.

So embarrassing.

She even peeps on her own sister...

no,

her mother

making love.

Her mother?

Peeping on her mother making love?

Chen-Chen is such a pervert.

You're the most perverted pervert.

Momo-chan!

Momo-chan!

Lonely.

I'm lonely.

Lonely.

I'm lonely.

Chen-Chen is such a pervert.

So embarrassing.

Why didn't Marco help you?

Yes, he did.

Yeah, Marco helped us look
for momo-chan together.

Help

Help! Help!

So you're the cutie Chen-Chen's
been looking after.

You're free.

Go.

Did you see any suspicious vehicles?

How many people did you see at the scene?

This is Pien-Pien's diary.

Sorry, Captain.

The reporters have waited a long time.

What should we do?

Since Pien-Pien is dead,

release the story about
the young lovers' failed eloping attempt.

Give the reporters something to write about.

Understood.

Excuse me.

Where's Granny Ying, the fishseller?

I don't know.
Someone just came looking for her.

Probably went home.

Granny Ying.

I discovered several pieces of land at Lishui

registered under your name.

You said you didn't know about it.

How is that possible?

I...I really didn't know.

My grandmother is old.

Please don't make things hard for her.

I can make things easier for her.

Why don't you tell me yourself?

Who told you to buy it?

Grandma, did you lend your ID and stamp

to someone who made you a dummy owner?

It was your godmother.

Madame Tang is so good to us.

Since she asked,

how could I say no?

Grandma...

Ning.

Leave now.

We can't stay in Taiwan any more.

Madame wants us to take the blame.

Let me give this to Godmother in person.

This is very important.

- Kuei.
- Godmother.

Sorry for the disruption.

This fish is very fresh.

Someone told me to hand it to you.

Chen-Chen.

Aunt Mei-Hsing says she misses us.

Let's go see her in Hong Kong
in a couple of days.

But I have to go to school.

So sudden?

I'm not going.

I'll call to ask for a few days off.

The last time
we went to Hong Kong was hilarious.

Don't you remember?

That "holy pig" in the villa at the Mid-Levels.

Taste this.

Chen-Chen.

Last time the Empress took me to Hong Kong,

but she was so busy shopping
it messed up her memory.

We had fun for many days.

In the end she flew back to Taiwan alone

and forgot all about me

How's that possible?

It's true

In the end, I was alone in the villa

keeping that "holy pig"
company for weeks.

You shouldn't call your friend "pig".

Yeah. Friend.

(I've sewn the button on.)

Boss.

We've managed to track Mr. Lin's cashflow.

They used Mrs. Lin's accounts in Japan

to launder the money overseas.

Then

back into Madame Tang's daughter

Ning Tang's account.

And lastly

used it to buy land in Lishui.

I understand. You may go now.

Chen-Chen.

Chen-Chen.

I bought you a gift.

I really did. Come take a look.

It's the thing you want the most.

"Spoil your son, and he'll turn against you."

"If you have money, spend it on yourself.
Bury anyone who gets in the way."

"If you haggle, I'll say bye-bye."

You're really patient for your old age.

You pour tea and wine for us
while teaming with Mr. Lin

to tie down all our money in Xiushan,

before finishing up with a double-cross.

Resolving this is actually very simple.

Just spit out the NT$3 billion Mr. Lin

used to buy the land,

and maybe I will consider
letting your family go.

I am sorry.

I am sorry.

Allow me to sing a song.

"Waves rush, waves roll"

"Ten-thousand miles of river forever flows"

"Wash away worldly affairs"

"Mixed into a torrential current"

Oh?

Isn't that Don Juan who committed suicide?

And isn't that "Hey you no.1"

and "Hey you no.2" working for you?

You can't get things done right.

You're just an amateur.

Find someone who knows
how to negotiate to talk to me.

A dummy is someone who takes the fall.

I've been her dummy my entire life.

She really sold me out this time.

Everything Ning said is true.

Madame wanted us to destroy the Lin family

then she got someone
to silence me and Chung Tuan.

Chen-Chen,

wake up.

Come with me.

OK.

I'll go with you.

Call my cram school to say I won't be going in.

If I'm absent

the teacher will call home right away.

OK.

Hello?

Hi, I'm Chen Tang.

I'm looking for Teacher Lin.

Hi, Teacher.

My mom's taking me on a trip today.

I need to take a few days off.

My mom's friend is driving us.

Around three days.

OK.

Take care of yourself.

Thanks, Teacher.

Chen-Chen,

hand the phone to Ning.

Hand the phone to Ning!

Hi, Teacher. I'm Chen Tang's sister...

Chen-Chen is mine.

You can't take her.

Really?

I will let the police know the truth.

Do you really want to destroy this family?

Ning-Ning.

Come back.

Even if you can make it out to sea,

will you be able to find a shore?

Don't get your daughter killed!

I promise I won't abandon you this time.

Just hold on for a bit and we'll be free.

Chen-Chen.

You have to believe me. I'm doing this for you.

Yi Tuan is taking us to Burma.

We'll be free.

- We'll be free.
-I want water.

I want water.

I know I'm not a good mother,

but I will change.

I'm...

I'm doing this for you?

I'm doing this for you?

Aren't the two of you the same?

Ning!

Chen-Chen.

Mommy loves you.

Ning!

Hurry!

Chen-Chen!

You have to live like a normal human being!

You have to live like a normal human being!

(Posthumour Cleansing Incantation)

Now you can move on to the western paradise,

with no worry and no guilt.

No more hanging around in the mortal world.

Beautiful.

Yueh-Ying,

pass this message on to Feng.

You know too

that Speaker Wang

only cares about a clean reputation,

not power or wealth.

I hope this time

you can give society and the public

a perfectly acceptable explanation.

OK?

Sister,

of course.

Love

is the most important thing in this world.

Here's the developing news today.

With the donations from the charitable public

the Lin daughter Pien-Pien and her boyfriend

or we should call him "her husband"

is having a posthumous wedding today.

Their hard-fought love affair
will have a happy ending,

Now you can see
the leading actor today, Chin-Shan Wang,

also known as Marco, entering the scene.

Later today he will proceed
with the posthumous wedding in the auditorium.

Let us and everyone at the scene

send the best wishes to this newly-wed couple.

If there is further news
of the wedding ceremony,

we will break it to you any time.

Hang in there.

- May our descendants become champions.
- Yes.

- May our descendants be rich.
- Yes.

- May our descendants have new cars.
- Yes.

Speaker Wang had been the favorite to be

elected the next Party Chairman,

but fell from grace due to

the land speculation scandal.

The most likely candidate at the moment

is typically low-key
Party Secretary Chien-kang Feng.

Look.

You tore up a perfectly fine butterfly.

Sorry. Really sorry.

We are so sorry.

This honor is all due
to senior's great kindness.

A long journey proves the stamina of a horse.

I will continue to serve
the Party and the people.

Well done, everyone. Thank you all. Thank you.

It's been hard on you recently.

What gift should I give you?

No need.

You're enough for me.

At our age,

everything seems more mellow.

But

if we hadn't been ruthless before,

this mellow feeling wouldn't exist.

Good kitty.

Go home.

I also have someone I really like

but can't be with.

Let's go back, OK?

Dear passengers.

This South-Link Line train is about to depart.

May all passengers board the train immediately.

This train will stop at:

Fangliao, Jialu, Dawu, Duoliang, Jinlun,

Xianglan, Sanhe, Taimali, Zhiben, Taitung.

"Should I have known that
you were never true to me,"

"I would have never fallen for you so easily."

Don't you know you have to kiss

with your tongue out?

That's what Lin Pien-Pien taught me.

That's what every madam taught me.

Fuck

There's no such thing
as "till death do us part".

All along, it was Pien-Pien Lin

holding on to my belongings
and not letting me go.

All I wanted was my freedom back.

Chairwoman.

The Madame has not been
in a good shape recently.

That's why an accident happened.

But long-term intubation

for an elderly woman is very torturous.

She actually once indicated

that if such a situation were to happen,

she would not want to be resuscitated.

Help

Help!

So, Madame.

Never leave me alone.

You must live to hundreds of years

and then thousands of years.
