Let me go.

Let me go.

Where are you taking me?

Ying Szu-yueh,

where did you tell them to take me to?

Let me go.

Mister, relax.

Come, don't be nervous. Relax.

There's no one.

It's you.

There's no one.

Tell them to let me go.

They'll let you go in a while.

I'm sorry.

Please calm down. You'll hurt yourself.

I don't want to be taken to be brainwashed...

Let me go.

After the court session

shackled with handcuffs and restraints,

the murderer Chen Chang was taken back

to the prison van by three court marshals.

The trial for the killing of two young girls

at Qingcun Park continues.

According to Professor Kao Hsien-teh's

evaluation report,

the risk that defendant Chen Chang will

commit another offense is 73%.

Taipei District Court has hired Kao Hsien-teh

to evaluate the risk of

Chen Chang committing another offense.

When the report came out,

he believed that the risk is over 70%.

The prosecutor also suspected

that Chen Chang's lawyer is using ICCPR and ICESCR

to help him to escape from death penalty.

Based on the evaluation report in which it states

that there's a high chance

that Chen Chang will commit another offense,

and might use his disorder

to escape the death penalty.

The family of the young victim

made the following statement:

"All this time we have had to bear"

the pain of losing our child.

But what pains and numbs our hearts is to find out

"that the law is used to protect bad people."

Although he has been confirmed to have schizophrenia

in three mental evaluations,

Chen Chang still insists

that he has no mental illness

and always has disagreements

with his lawyer in court.

He even stated in court

that using the doctor's evaluation report

as a source of evidence is questionable.

(It's mental disorder immunity card!)

(I want to apply for one too.)

(Killing of children)

(should be punished with the death penalty.)

(Don't waste everyone's time.)

(The bastard and his lawyer are feigning madness.)

(His lawyer should take him home)

(and make him a better person.)

When are you going to talk to me?

I called you but you didn't want to answer my calls.

I'm here now. Shouldn't we talk about it?

Why do you have to play the trick of

running back to your parents' home?

I have said what I wanted to say.

You didn't say anything

and disappeared with Hsiao-fei on me.

What do you want me to do?

Chen Chang killed two young children.

I can't forgive this kind of man.

I can't forgive the asshole lawyer

who helps such a deviant

to escape the death penalty.

If you insist on taking this case,

I'll get a divorce.

Are you going nuts, Ting Mei-mei?

My guess is that he has schizophrenia.

Schizophrenia is...

It's a brain disorder that causes

impaired thinking mood and perception.

However I need to observe him for a while

in order to rule out the effects

which were caused by other physiological factors.

This condition was called

schizoid disorder in the past.

It's for you.

Ta-chih, I'm sorry for...

causing you to face this kind of situation.

I actually didn't notice the changes in my brother.

And...

About the news...

I'm really sorry. I...

Actually I know that you can't make the decision.

I...

I'm sorry. I was too rash and got angry at you.

It's alright.

I'm very... I'm very afraid.

I'm really afraid that my brother is sick.

Schizoid disorder sounds...

It sounds terrible.

How did he get this disorder?

Let me go.

Mr. Ying, your mood is unstable

so I need to give you an injection

to calm you down.

You'll stay here for two hours.

Let me go.

We'll check on you every 15 minutes.

Let me go.

Hurry.

How are you doing, sister Chiao-an?

Is everything ready?

Tien-ching, you're here.

Here.

Listen, I have bought

your favorite pork bone broth ramen.

It's still hot. Eat it while it's still hot.

I'm going to a meeting now.

My cell phone is broken.

Come.

(Kai-tzu)

(Baby, why haven't you answered my calls?)

(What happened?)

(Something has been going on in my family)

(and I'm kind of busy.)

(Talk to you later...)

It's confirmed it will be earlier tomorrow.

Do you have enough time?

I think it's okay. Nine o'clock.

-Don't change the time again. -Alright.

-Tell them for me. -Okay bye.

Why are you using the Internet?

Have you finished your homework?

Get your stuff. We're going home. Hurry.

Liu Tien-ching, come over here.

Now.

Why didn't you eat?

I prepared the noodles especially for you.

You didn't eat one...

I'm talking to you, don't you know?

Why didn't you eat?

I can't use my cell phone to go online

and make phone calls.

Did you forget to pay the bill?

I cancelled your cell phone.

You cancelled my cell phone?

Yes, I cancelled your cell phone.

You're using the Internet all day long.

-What do you think you're doing? -Why?

It's because you used your cell phone

to confess your affection to a boy.

Then why when Liu Tien-yen confessed

his affection to a girl in fifth grade,

you told him that he was very brave

and even treated them a meal?

It was because he was a boy.

It was about their study group. Don't you get it?

Bullshit.

It's because you only liked Liu Tien-yen.

-Come in with me. -No.

-Come in. -No.

-I told you to come in with me. -No.

Why didn't you die along with Liu Tien-yen?

Tien-ching, no.

You can't talk to your mom like that.

You...

Tien-ching.

-Ching-ching. -Tien-ching,

aren't you going to talk to your dad?

You'll live with me.

But I need to find a house.

We'll stay at a hotel the next few days.

I want to live with auntie and uncle.

Chao-kuo, I think you should let her stay

with us for the next few days.

You can take your time. This is a good idea.

Ching-ching,

we welcome you to stay with us at our home.

But when juveniles stay out

they must have their parents' approval.

Otherwise, we'll be arrested by the police.

I want to stay with auntie and uncle.

Liu Chao-kuo,

how far will you two

let Liu Tien-ching's mischief go?

You can. I'll take you there.

Ching-ching,

even though your dad has agreed,

your mom has to agree as well.

Can I?

Alright. After we arrive at my home,

we'll report back that we've arrived safely.

I'm going to bed now.

That's it?

Sis,

let me find a counselor for you and Chao-kuo,

alright? You'll go together.

Why would I want to talk to a stranger

about my thoughts?

There's no need.

I can just go on leave

and get some fresh air overseas with Tien-ching.

If you want to an annual leave,

I suggest that you and Chao-kuo

take the overseas trip together.

This way, you'll be able to talk

about what's on your minds.

Otherwise, just you and Tien-ching

taking an overseas trip

won't solve the problem.

We don't get along. What can we talk about?

Why would I want to spend time

making myself angry?

Sung Chiao-an.

You know...

based on my many years of observations

at the hospital

do you know what kind of patients

are the hardest to cure?

It's people like you

who are lacking in insight.

I think...

people like you who work

at the psychiatry department are actually sick.

You can't wait for all the people in the world

to have mental disorders

so they can seek treatment from you right?

Sis, are you drinking now?

One bottle of whisky isn't enough for you now

because you can't sleep if you don't drink.

Even if you tell yourself not to drink again,

you can't help yourself

because you'll feel like a fish out of water

if you stop drinking.

Sis,

do you really believe that an alcoholic mom...

is good for the child?

Chao-kuo, bye.

Chiao-ping.

I'm sorry for disturbing...

your carefree DINK life.

Not at all. Ching-ching is older now.

If she was still in kindergarten,

I wouldn't be able to look after her.

That's not true.

She doesn't need to do shift work.

And she only writes reports

after coming home at best.

The hard part is

that I can't be shirtless at home.

That's such a hardship for you.

Okay.

Chao-kuo,

actually I could have gotten involved sooner

but I was trying to allow my sister

to change the way she communicates

with Ching-ching.

If your sister was that easy to communicate with,

she wouldn't be Sung Chiao-an.

Chao-kuo, your problem didn't arise overnight.

No matter what, she's a wronged wife.

Speaking of this I must clear myself.

Will I be forever flawed?

Will I be a guilty person?

And will I not be able to free myself all my life

because your sister misunderstood me once?

Chao-kuo, that isn't the point.

The important thing is whether

you want to save your marriage.

I'll advise you for free today.

If you want to save your marriage,

then work hard on it

if you don't want to, then just give it up.

Aren't you talking nonsense?

Play your video game.

I think in the first place

you and my sister's problem is complicated.

Your attitudes toward work

caused your frosty relationship.

And then you had to face what happened to Tien-yen.

Actually I think your entire family

is still suffering from... PTSD.

Even if you guys end up divorcing

at least you and my sister should be able

to get along with each other peacefully.

Only in this way can you keep the harm

that you cause to Ching-ching to a minimum.

So find a time

and go to counseling with my sister.

Sister An is made of steel

and is a very tough nut to crack.

Yes, the entire world knows that.

The only thing on my mind now

is to try to find out how

to create a better life for Tien-ching.

When Ching-ching is staying with us

these few days,

you should go home to be with my sister.

Please. She doesn't need my company.

It's enough for her to have news and liquor.

She is used to using her work

to cover up her weakness and pain.

She's doing the same thing in regard to

what happened to Tien-yen.

Your mom's aunt...

had schizophrenia.

You mean grandma's...

...grandma's younger sister?

How come I don't know that

grandma had a younger sister?

She was locked up in the backyard

behind their house all her life.

There's no way you would know about it.

Even me,

I ran into her in the backyard

when I helped them move stuff

during one Chinese New Year.

You can't imagine it.

She was naked

while verbally lashing out at everyone.

I had no idea who she was lashing out at.

Your grandma covered it up

and didn't want anyone to know about her.

The doctor hasn't said that Szu-tsung is...

Mental illness is hereditary.

The technology is very advanced today.

I have checked online.

The medication is way better than before.

People can recover.

Having this disorder...

his life is over.

Dad.

Dad.

Szu-tsung is only 26 years old.

You can't give up hope in him.

We must have faith in him.

He's so smart and talented.

Do not tell what we're saying now

to Hsiao-kai's family.

Just tell them that Szu-tsung has gone abroad.

Listen. No parents will allow their son

to marry a woman who has a

family history of mental illness.

If your mom didn't cover it up all those years ago,

I wouldn't have married her.

Why did you fight?

That... That guard forced me to take medication.

The more I take the medication,

the more it hurts my health.

Mr. Chen,

if you get into another conflict with someone,

you'll be moved to a solitary room.

Your mental state will get worse in that situation.

I saw Director Kao Hsien-teh's

evaluation report the other day.

You guys questioned my dad, didn't you?

Maybe but I'm not sure.

I'll ask about it for you.

Then...

did my dad...

ask about me?

I'll ask Director Kao about your questions.

I'll tell you once I have the answers.

Hold on. Let me look.

Let me look at the last one alright?

I know this one is more old-fashioned.

But you know that my mom is more traditional.

Not to mention that

there are a lot of elders in my family.

-Can we use this one? -I have something to tell you.

My brother might have schizophrenia.

What?

It was known as schizoid disorder in the past.

It's alright if you don't want to marry me.

I am mentally prepared for it.

Hold on a second. Baby.

Ying Szu-tsung is your brother

which makes him my brother.

We can face it together.

Your parents...

You're marrying me, not my parents.

Why are you worrying about this?

Ying Szu-yueh.

I love you.

We'll be together forever this lifetime.

So... we'll face everything together.

Alright, don't be like that.

Listen,

the last one. The last one...

I love you, too.

According to the examination,

we can confirm that

Szu-tsung doesn't have any brain disorders

or other physiological factors.

We preliminarily diagnose it...

as schizophrenia.

Doctor,

I would like to ask you a question.

Why does he have schizophrenia?

Is it really hereditary?

There are a lot of factors

that affect mental disorders.

Some might be genetic,

some might be genetic mutations,

and some might be environmental factors.

For example, long-term stress.

Even without a family history

it's possible for people to have schizophrenia.

Have some fruit.

What's wrong with him?

These extrapyramidal symptoms

are side-effects of the medication.

We're adjusting the dosage

and these symptoms will slowly improve.

Please don't worry too much.

I want to...

go home.

The doctor said that

when you... have stabilized more

we'll be able to get out of the hospital.

Go back to which home?

What nonsense.

Of course he'll come home and live with us.

I...

won't hit people again.

I'm sorry...

I'm sorry...

-I'm sorry... -It's alright.

It's...

It's alright.

I won't...

hit people again.

I'm sorry.

I want to...

go home.

Doctor, you're going home now?

Yes.

Will I see you tomorrow?

You will.

See you tomorrow.

Alright.

-Bye. -Bye.

Doctor Lin.

About Brother Haha, we determined

that he wasn't in good health

so we called the police

to help us to take him to the hospital.

Doctor Lin,

you mentioned that he wasn't in good health

so your hospital admitted him.

Judging from what you said,

have hospitals become charity organizations?

I don't see anything from Brother Haha

that you just mentioned.

I think

it's obvious that your hospital used

the consideration of safety as an excuse

to restrict his freedom

under pressure from society or public opinion.

They are two entirely different matters.

The public health nurse

had observed Brother Haha for a while.

She noticed that he was eating food picked

from trash cans

which caused him to have poor nutrition

and mental state

and believed that he needed to come back

to the hospital for treatment.

We followed the procedures

and asked the police and our colleagues

to help us to admit him.

In the 2018 Convention on the Rights of Persons

with Disabilities

the international review committee members

clearly stated

that hospitalization solely on the ground

of mental or physical disabilities

might violate Article 14 of the Convention

on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities:

It's prohibited to deprive any person

with mental or physical disabilities

of their rights or freedom

based on factors connected with their mental

or physical disabilities

or illegally or arbitrarily.

No one's physical freedom should be restricted

due to his or her disabilities

without legal supervision or determination.

Doctor Lin, may I ask...

whether you have obtained a court ruling

at any time during the incident?

No.

And from what I know

each public health nurse has to follow-up

on 70 to 300 cases.

Doctor Lin, may I ask how you determine

whether the public health nurse

who paid special attention to Brother Haha

wasn't under pressure from public opinion

or instructions from the top?

Doctor Lin.

What a coincidence.

Are you here to see a doctor?

No.

I wonder if I can have a few minutes of your time?

I have something I would like to ask you.

I'm already off work.

My wife is waiting for me to eat dinner.

Doctor Lin,

I have a question to ask you.

If a person has schizophrenia

and refuses to take medication,

will his condition deteriorate very fast?

You're talking about Chen Chang the guy

who killed two kids aren't you?

Yes.

Why would a lawyer care so much?

I had no idea that a legal aid lawyer

makes that much money.

I don't make that much at all.

It's about 20,000 to 30,000 dollars per case.

But the cost doesn't include

the occasional laundry expenses

when I'm splashed with urine

and the mental stress from public abuse.

One case!

It takes one or two years

and you only receive 20,000 to 30,000 dollars?

This is how much the government will pay me.

You aren't my patient, nor is Chen Chang.

Not to mention that I didn't take part

in his mental evaluation.

Even if I took part in the evaluation,

it has been a year

and without further evaluation conversation

with him or any information.

The only answer I can give you is:

I don't know.

Are you always such a pain in the ass

when answering your patients' inquiries?

At the hospital, my patients call me

Do Min-joon from My Love from the Star.

Good-bye.

Doctor Do Min-joon from My Love from the Star.

Do you have time tonight?

I'll treat you a drink.

On December 10, 1948

the UN declared

the Universal Declaration of Human Rights

and on December 16, 1966

passed the ICCPR and ICESCR conventions.

We're born equal

regardless of our nationality, religion,

gender and race.

You and I are equal in regard to dignity and rights.

-Do you know that? -How bottled-up are you?

It's like that

we dislike each other.

I can't stand the sight of you,

but right here we can drink together.

This is your right and mine as well.

We should respect each other.

Why can't we normal people

make more effort and use the ability we possess

to help people who are sick?

You want to treat Chen Chang?

Have you ever considered this:

do you think that it's better

to treat a person with schizophrenia

until he's almost normal

and then jail him afterward?

Good question.

But

killing or imprisoning people like him

who are really sick with mental illness

what good is that?

It's meaningless...

-Give me another shot. -It's really meaningless.

What is the Agency of Corrections trying to correct?

How will they correct those people who are sick?

Do they think they are doctors like you

and prescribe drugs to them?

They can't.

Plus women never get what I'm doing.

What does it mean that I want to do it?

What does it mean to ask why?

I don't get it.

You have an unhappy marriage don't you?

No wonder you're so bottled-up.

Here,

let's consider this as my free diagnosis.

This is the prescription.

Is it good not to have kids?

It's good.

-The tuition is very expensive. -Drink it.

It's okay.

I can't drink tequila.

Really?

I throw up when I drink cocktails.

Okay. The drink is on you this time.

Go home now.

Let's go. Go home.

Get your things.

Help me to save Chen Chang, will you?

Never mind saving him.

Save yourself first.

Go home now.

Call my wife

and tell her to get me alright?

Okay.

Sis.

I just got off work. I'd like to visit Tien-ching.

Sure.

Hold on a second. You can talk to Ching-ching.

Ching-ching, your mom is coming over.

No. Uncle has something to do.

I want to watch a movie with auntie.

Then...

Sis, why don't we go together?

No, you go yourselves.

Watch out for your safety. Bye.

You haven't eaten, have you?

Why don't we eat together?

No.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

Tien-yen.

Mom.

Tien-yen.

Mom.

Dad.

Hsiao-wen, you're back.

My pretty wife, hurry and prepare some food.

What's wrong with you? How come you're so skinny?

Go and buy pig's liver and cook some soup for her.

There's no need.

I brought some pig's feet with me.

They are mom's favorite.

She's a vegetarian now.

She doesn't eat meat.

Pig's feet and tendon.

They smell really good.

They would be awesome to eat with wine.

Mom,

your face is getting worse.

Haven't you use the medication on your face?

Where's your medication?

She used up the medication.

Mom, why don't you take good care of yourself?

Go back.

Go back now. Don't you need to work?

Didn't you say that your boss is very strict?

Aren't you letting your boss down coming here?

Go back to work.

Wait.

You can go back after you finish the meal.

What are you doing? Don't pay attention to your dad.

Go back now.

What are you talking about?

What?

It's rare that Hsiao-wen comes home.

Why are you chasing her back?

You just sit there all day long.

Be quiet.

Why should I be quiet? I won't be quiet.

-What a nag you are. -When have I nagged you?

You...

You're home to cause trouble, aren't you?

How rude you are.

If I don't teach you a lesson,

you won't know who's the boss.

Get away from me.

Let's die together

if you don't have the courage to live.

I'm doing better living away from home.

Every day I wonder

whether you're doing better

whether you still wear a mask every day

or whether mom can smile again.

Why am I the only one who's smiling out there?

Why do I deserve to smile?

Are those families that have been hurt

by my brother...

able to smile?

Liu Chao-kuo, what are you doing?

I'm putting away Tien-yen's stuff.

I'm throwing them away.

Why are we keeping them?

We can't touch Tien-yen's things.

We can't talk about Tien-yen.

Why don't we just tear down his room?

I won't allow you to touch Tien-yen's things.

We have nothing to talk about.

You don't talk to anyone.

You don't talk to yourself.

You don't dare to enter his room.

Then why are you keeping his things?

Who says that I don't dare to enter Tien-yen's room?

Alright, go in.

If you go in, I won't throw away his things.

Come.

Go in.

Go in.

Come in.

Come in.

I shouldn't have opened that shop.

I should have just sold breakfast.

I thought that

if we were too tired from doing business

we would take two days off each week.

If we took two days off,

we would have spent time with you.

At the time I went to school every day

and only wanted to go out and have fun

when the school was out.

I wouldn't have stayed at home.

But Hsiao-ming said that

he was hiding inside his room

playing with models.

If I didn't tell him to study business

and instead had allowed...

to study mechanical engineering which he preferred

perhaps he would have been happier.

He could make guns and bullets

without studying mechanical engineering.

If you allowed him to study mechanical engineering,

he might learn to make cannons.

In a word, it's not good for him to study too much.

For you.

Actually we can go to counseling.

If I go to counseling,

will you not be so angry at me

for leaving Tien-yen at the movie theater?

I said that to vent my anger.

If it was me

I would leave the movie theater

when I received a call from my company.

I wouldn't return until I finished the phone call.

I would do the same thing as you did.

But the fact is that I didn't return

until I...

finished my coffee.

If I went back right away

after finishing the phone call.

I might be able to stop it.

Even if I couldn't stop it,

I could have died with Tien-yen.

If that's that case you and Tien-ching

wouldn't dislike me so much now.

Perhaps you might miss the mom

and Sung Chiao-an of the past.

Tien-ching doesn't dislike you.

Don't take it to heart.

A mom who forgot her daughter's birthday three times

deserves to be disliked.

Chiao-an,

I don't dislike you.

But now

I'm afraid of getting close to you.

I know that

it's my fault to have an emotional affair.

I know it hurts you greatly.

If my apology can obtain your forgiveness in return.

I would do it if you want me to apologize

one thousand or 10 thousand times.

As long as you can forgive me.

I should take responsible

for our current relationship.

Chiao-ping told me

that no one likes a cold person.

But I'm afraid of heat now.

What is personality deviation?

I only remember that your brother...

was very well-behaved when he was little.

When we came home, he would call us: "Dad! Mom!"

without stopping.

He was very sweet.

He would run around the house.

He was afraid of our neighbors' dogs

and never showed cruelty to those cats.

He even cried when your grandma killed a chicken.

Don't be angry.

I won't scare you anymore.

Mom, hurry. It's very hot.

I'm coming.

This is your first suit etiquette

and your first time having dinner and a date

with a girl you like.

I of course must dress you up

until you can't be more handsome.

-Alright? This one. -Alright.

Mom,

then for my first suit etiquette

I want to dress up like Princess Aurora.

Princess Aurora? That's silly...

I'm not listening to you.

Who's Princess Aurora?

See, even mom doesn't know her.

Tien-ching,

bring Aurora's picture to me

I'll find a way to help you.

If there's boy comes to see Tien-ching

I think you would chase him out with a baseball bat.

Not a baseball bat, I would beat him with a mace.

Who dares to go after my girlfriend

from last lifetime.

-Are you ready? Come here. -Are you ready?

-We are. Come over here now. -Alright. Let's go.

It'll take five pictures in a row.

Say cheese.

Cheese.

Angry.

Play cool.

Play cute.

Make a face.

Hold each other tightly.

You can't bear to let them go can you?

I remember the last time I talked to Hsiao-ming.

I was lying in his bed

and asked him what the message

from my upperclassman meant.

You know he's a clean freak.

He kept telling me to get out of his bed.

How annoying.

I did take a shower.

Later...

he told me that the message from my upperclassman

was an insinuation.

He was very smart.

And then we talked about falling in love.

Hsiao-ming was such a narcissist.

He said that no one in the entire world

was worthy of him.

And then I invited him

to see a movie with me the day after.

He asked me

which movie theater I was going to.

After he asked that question

he said that he was going to do a grand thing.

I was thinking

about the message from my upperclassman

and then I skipped out of his room.

I wonder...

if at the time

I had questioned him further,

would everything be different?

Eat your noodles. Eat.

Hsiao-ming

has agreed to see us.

I just want to protect our children.

I don't want them to be hurt.

You gave up my daughter for those scums.

Tai-sheng,

I don't think we can take care of Szu-tsung.

Would it be better if

what he had was cancer?

We don't need any news.

This is the biggest news now.

Tonight

the Ministry of Justice will execute Hsiao-ming.

Great! Justice will finally be served.
