Pinky, a new-generation Internet celebrity

with over a million fans,

was discovered dead at her home today.

Pinky, who had always encouraged people

suffering from depression

with her sunny smiles on the Internet,

just shared her adorable image of

eating chocolate covered bread yesterday.

Today, she killed herself and was dead.

It's said that yesterday

she had had an argument with her boyfriend Ma,

who she had been dating for three years.

It seems that she took it too hard

and committed suicide.

She left a suicide note at the scene

apologizing to her parents

and told them that she hoped to be

their daughter again in the next lifetime.

Today, the police asked her boyfriend Ma

to give an explanation at the police station.

However, when facing the inquiries of the media,

Mr. Ma chose to evade the media

and refused to answer any question.

Did she send you any messages?

Pinky's death shocked her

all of her one million fans.

The doctor emphasized that people always

have low points in their lives...

(Ma Fang-lin has cheated on her many times.)

(The hurt was too much for Pinky to bear)

(because she loved him too much.)

(R.I.P Please share sunshine)

(and joy with us in your next lifetime.)

(Ma Fang-lin's Facebook page)

Broadcasting live the mentally unstable director's

breaking into a kindergarten

will only cause anxiety to parents and children

and increase discrimination against

people with mental illness.

This morning, I even saw news

about a suicide caused by depression.

Don't know about the suicide contagion effect?

Media self-discipline is a joke here.

We have been very careful in handling this news.

Because Pinky was a celebrity,

we have to report it too.

The NCC has received complaint letters

from a lot of viewers,

hoping the new stations can be more cautious

in the handling of live news.

But on the other hand,

we also received praise from many viewers

for our promotion of prevention awareness

during the live broadcast,

which ensured that viewers didn't panic.

We right away clarified that

he isn't a resident of Junyi Sanatorium.

It's our exclusive news

and we verified it from many sources.

We're lucky this time.

Nowadays, viewers are tired of hasty reports.

What they want are reports

with more breadth and depth.

We shouldn't report news based

on surveillance camera images

and tell-alls from netizens.

"You'll end up working as a reporter

if you don't study hard when you're young".

It is the opinion of the public

about media reporters today.

The opinions of these Internet haters are cheap.

It's the Internet age now,

and the core values of the news

are different from before.

Viewers who want to read international news

will go online for news from CNN, BBC, NHK,

or the special reports

from the 10 o'clock global news.

They won't choose our six or seven o'clock news.

What our executive vice director meant is that

the media has entered the period

of market demassification.

Even if it has begun market demassification,

executive vice director, do you feel that

you have fulfilled the media's responsibility

as the fourth estate?

What is our purpose by asking you

to attend this self-discipline meeting?

Do you think you're here to read

complaint letters for the sake of it?

You're giving us a roundabout solution,

and you can't even accept suggestions?

Professor, you should know

that the best suggestion is

use of the remote control.

If you don't want to watch it,

you can just turn it off.

Don't criticize our media for being brainless

after our news is viewed and watched.

Your criticism won't change the media's

in-the-moment culture;

instead, it will only make us go haywire even more.

We have to work on news for 19 hours each day.

We're under a lot of pressure.

We'll be late for our meeting.

Professor Li, you have witnessed

our news department vice director's

haughtiness on your first visit.

You'll get used to it

once you get to know her better.

Isn't that right?

Teacher, she's a little bit down today.

It's alright. Let's go and play.

Be good. I'll come to get you this afternoon.

You're following me.

I come to see my daughter.

I want to see whether her new kindergarten

is really better than her previous one.

Mei-mei,

I'm sorry.

How have you been?

Let me answer the call.

Mrs. Chen,

what is it?

Okay. Where are you now?

I'll come to you.

But I'll be there with my wife.

Alright. See you later.

Come with me.

Here is your change.

Alright, thank you.

Mrs. Chen.

Attorney Wang, hold on a second.

This is my wife.

-Your wife is so beautiful. -Thank you.

What month are you in your pregnacy?

Sixth month.

You're so beautiful.

Do you have something urgent to see me?

Will my Ah-chang...

be sentenced to death penalty?

It's hard to say.

We have to wait for the court's final verdict.

Can you help me and tell the victims' families

that I'm chanting Buddhist scriptures

for them every day.

Can you ask them please to forgive my Ah-chang?

Did you go to see the victims' families again?

I didn't.

They would throw me rocks if I went to see them.

I'm not that stupid.

How did you get the wound on your face?

Did Mr. Chen do...

It doesn't matter.

I heard from the news...

that if there's a settlement

you will get a lighter sentence.

Please tell the families

that I'll take Ah-chang to see a doctor

after he's released from jail and work hard

-so I can pay them back. -Mrs. Chen,

not every family is willing to settle.

This case is especially difficult,

because they lost their family members.

They might not be able to escape from their pain

of losing their daughters in this lifetime.

They need time.

Do they want money?

A rich guy who hit and killed two people

paid the families several million dollars

and was released 10 years after being jailed.

This is not about money.

If we pay them money,

the judge will release my Ah-chang sooner, right?

Please tell them

that we'll try to come up with the money.

I know. But it's useless for you to be so anxious.

This isn't about money.

I try to fulfill my responsibility

and protect his rights.

(Internet celebrity streamer Pinky)

(committed suicide early this morning.)

Please tell your new editor to pay attention.

How could she use the word "suicide?"

She's new. So she didn't know?

Couldn't you tell her?

The NCC didn't care about it,

so you just followed their suit?

Remove the word "suicide" right this minute.

You have told me this morning

that you would look for her boyfriend,

close friends and family.

Now it's already 18:00,

and you're still broadcasting

the lookback of Pinky's Facebook,

the news about how Ma Fang-lin

closed his Facebook account,

and some cheating tell-alls from a netizen.

A netizen? Who is he? Where is he?

You just casually changed some words

from reports from other news stations.

Do you think it's very easy to be reporters?

Can't you find another news to report?

You two.

The message left by Maggie to the netizen

hasn't been answered yet.

Hsiao-lien continues to look for Ma Fang-lin.

At present, Ah-she is still at the morgue

waiting for her parents to show up.

We don't have enough time.

Is this your first day working at the Daily?

You can quit if you don't have enough time,

and work for a media company

that will give you plenty of time.

Don't stay at this position while whining

about not getting enough resources.

My people are all busting their butts.

-That's enough. -All of them

are working their butts off online on this news.

That's enough. Lower your voice.

What the hell is going on today?

All of my people are going to quit.

I know.

Li Ta-chih, how many times

do I have to tell you before you get it?

Our Daily news isn't produced

for white-collar people, nor for the elite;

instead, it's for general viewers.

General viewers,

who only possess the intelligence of seven-year old.

and the level of junior high school students.

Don't you get it?

You want foreign news?

You want international? No problem.

You can work for the 10 o'clock global news.

Don't work here.

Based on your scheduling,

we can't get a good viewing rate.

Without a good viewing rate,

where will we find money to pay for foreign news?

Fine.

We can just report leaks from netizens

or images from surveillance cameras.

And then

we should resign to our fate

when people look down on us.

What do you think

about what Chen Chang's mom said?

I only wanted to go away. I didn't want to listen.

Were you unable to comprehend...

or even understand how she could say that

like she's from a different world?

Up to now, she still doesn't have clue

what pain her son has caused to our society.

She only thinks about herself

and has her heart set

on having her sick son released.

No wonder her son has mental problems.

What if I tell you that my mom was the same?

What kind of person would throw

her three-year son in an orphanage?

What kind of mom was that?

But you didn't end up being a bad person.

You started to work part-time

when you were in junior high school

and then you worked part-time while going to school,

and passed the lawyer license examination,

didn't you?

I almost committed a murder

and the tendons on my hands and feet

were almost hacked off.

Do you believe it?

I don't believe it.

I was having diarrhea,

so I was late...

in catching up with the car.

I was only two minutes late,

so I didn't get in that car

that would have taken me to the big fight.

Afterward, of two older boys

that I was very close to,

one was dead

and the other was sentenced to life imprisonment.

Not everyone is able to make choices

after they are born.

I know what I'm going to say next

you would think it's unfair.

But, Mei,

you're really lucky.

You have a father and a mother who love you.

You don't need to worry about life.

But we're different from you.

We might have a father who couldn't find a job,

and beats my mother after getting drunk every day.

We might not be able to study hard,

nor be able to sleep well.

We might be very poor

and have to work part-time from a very young age.

We might be fired after working on a job

for one or two months,

and we didn't know why.

We might grow up rejected constantly.

Sometimes, we might believe

that the noise in our brain

that tells us that

we're good for nothing and useless

is telling us the truth.

Chen Chang believed it.

He believed that only by killing those two kids,

could he liberate himself.

But if you ask me why,

I really don't know.

I can only guess

that the person he wanted to kill

was himself from the childhood.

He certainly committed an unforgivable crime.

I would say that he's a sinner,

but he's not necessary a bad person.

What I have been doing

isn't making trouble for you out of nothing.

I just want to protect our kids.

I don't want them to be hurt.

But I don't know why in your eye,

it seems that I'm not lenient enough

because I don't understand those people.

It's because people like you

only get angry and become afraid

when you face things like this.

You're apprehensive

and you don't have the chance to understand

what really happened behind them.

Do you think that this world will be a better place

if we arrest, kill and make these people disappear?

It won't.

It's because that there will be another Chen Chang.

You have to vote for Ma Ying-chiu.

We're husband and wife.

We have three kids together.

Don't tell anyone.

Do you understand?

Sister Mei-ching.

Miss Sung.

I've brought something for you.

What is it?

Guess.

It's the thing I like...

-Look. -It's red.

Thank you.

You're welcome. Do you like it?

I like it very much.

There are more. Would you like to try them on?

Miss Sung, you're a most beautiful lady.

-How come you're so nice? -Thank you.

Alright. Go and try them on.

Szu-tsung,

how do you feel today?

In a while, your father and sister will

arrive and have a meeting with me.

What do you think about it?

Based on my past experience,

the regular intake of medication

and doctor's visits,

and family's company

are very effective.

Moreover, after spending time with Szu-tsung

over the last few days,

I have noticed that

he has a very strong sensibility for art.

He'll have a future full of opportunities.

Miss Sung, so you won't recommend that

Szu-tsung shouldn't be transferred

to a chronic ward or a sanatorium, do you?

To leave the emergency ward,

it depends on his recovery.

Actually, there are many choices.

If you have any ideas, please speak up.

We can discuss them together.

Tai-sheng,

I don't think that we will be able

to look after Szu-tsung.

Look, your health is poor.

Szu-teh is now preparing

for the university admission exam

and needs to concentrate.

Your pension isn't enough.

We really don't have the means

to look after Szu-tsung.

Then, I'll find a job,

like a building security guard.

If your health condition can handle that,

you wouldn't have retired early.

Not to mention,

if you go to work,

I won't dare to be alone with Szu-tsung

since I have no idea

when he will have another episode.

Didn't you say that he'll be alright

after the crossing-over ceremony

for female ghosts is finished?

Why are you afraid

that he might have another episode?

My friend said that

people with this disorder won't recover.

Look at how unresponsive Szu-tsung is now.

Who's going to take care his personal daily needs?

Mrs. Ying.

Actually, this is only a transition period

for Szu-tsung now.

He has self-care ability.

Moreover, our doctor continues

to adjust his medication dosage.

His condition will only improve.

No matter what,

Szu-tsung will come home and live with us.

This is my responsibility as his father.

Dad,

actually Szu-tsung can live with me.

What are you talking about?

You're going to get married.

-She's right. -Why is she right?

He will only have fights with you at home.

Who knows, his condition might get even worse.

If you keep talking, I'll divorce you.

What did you say?

Auntie.

Don't mind her.

Mr. Ying, aren't you feeling well?

I'm fine.

I'm fine.

Actully, Szu-tsung now still needs time

for treatment and evaluations.

We don't need to be in a hurry to find an answer.

At the meantime, I can find some resources

for your reference.

After you go home, you can ponder about it.

Take your time.

I brought some of your clothes today.

And I also brought you some fruit.

What else do you want?

I'll bring them to you next time.

I want to get out of here.

You want to get out of here.

Alright. Listen to the doctor

and take your medication.

After you're well and discharged from here,

come home and live with me.

If your aunite dares to nag again,

I'll chase her out.

Szu-teh...

has to stay.

Your brain is functioning.

Yes, Szu-teh will stay.

He'll stay.

Ying Tai-sheng,

where's your conscience?

Have I lived a good life since I married you?

When I married you,

one of your kids was in second grade,

while another was in sixth grade.

I spent over a decade raising them.

You weren't home all the time

and while you were home, you acted like a lord.

What did I owe you?

You dare to mention divorce to me?

Are you a human being at all?

That's enough.

I was wrong.

I understand how you feel.

But, Szu-tsung is my responsibility.

I was doing it for his own good.

How will I take care of three people?

Do you think our care will be better

than that of the hospital?

The things I think about every day

are all about your Ying family's matters,

and yet you are treating me like this.

You don't need to look after me from now on.

I can look after myself.

What are you talking about?

Okay.

Your father, mother

and sister

have agreed to take a mental evaluation.

You might not know that

your parents have sold the house

you used to live in.

They took the money

to compensate the victims' families.

They're living in their old house now.

Basically, they're bankrupt.

And your father, after you committed the crime,

the first thing he does every day is drinking.

He uses alcohol to numb himself.

Your mother, in order to make money,

covers herself up from head to toe every day.

She wears a mask

because she fears that people will recognize her.

She goes out to sell sticky rice dumplings

dressing like that.

Her mouth and cheeks are

getting inflamed and irritated

because of her long-term use of the mask.

You might not know either that

your sister didn't graduate from university,

do you?

She hid inside the house for an entire two years,

until a few months ago

your mother dragged her out to change her name

and find a job.

She's now working at SBC News.

But coincidentally,

her current supervisor

is the mother of a little boy you killed.

Do you really think that

by having no contact with your family

you won't affect their lives?

You don't want to face the victims' families

and you don't think that there's nothing

you should apologize for about what you did.

That's okay.

But no one knows why you did it.

I have to say that you have succeeded.

You have gotten the death penalty you wanted.

Congratulations.

But how about your family?

They have been sentenced to life imprisonment

by the public's perception and their conscience.

It's way more miserable than death penalty.

Don't you think you owe them an answer?

Ma Fang-lin, the boyfriend of Pinky,

the Internet celebrity who died yesterday,

gave a live broadcast today

on his social media website.

Because a lot of netizens and her fans

couldn't accept the news of her death,

one after another they went to

Ma Fang-lin's social media website

to leave messages and hurl abuses,

believing that he was the reason

why Pinky committed suicide.

As a result, Ma Fang-lin decided

to make a screenshot

of his final conversation with Pinky public.

It turned out that Pinky had fallen for another man.

Get ready to roll. How many more minutes?

One minute and 50 seconds.

Okay.

Lately, a lot of netizens

started to attack me.

Some of them even said

that they would kill my family.

SOT (sound on tape) hasn't arrived yet.

I'll never concede to irresponsible attacks

from the news media

or abuses from the haters,

Speak up.

Did you drink all night long last night?

Didn't you sleep at all?

Or are you playing a game of stepping on landmines?

Why are you so bad-tempered?

Do you want me to give you two landmines?

There's no need.

I got my own landmines.

I produce and sell them myself.

Didn't you have a talk with Chao-kuo?

You must get the problems off of your chest.

You'll self-combust if you keep them all in,

and hurt the innocent bystanders too.

You think I'm a random killer?

What you did isn't random, you did it deliberately.

I wonder if it's because I've quit drinking,

so I haven't been able to sleep well lately.

Quitting drinking will have such an effect?

I think you should take a vacation.

How long haven't you taken a break?

I can't take a vacation.

I can't stop.

Excuse me, I need to make a call.

Where are you?

Why haven't you showed up if you're around the area?

You don't feel well?

Where are you? Tell me. I'll come to you.

How's mom's health?

I don't know.

But your dad is with her.

He'll let us know once he finds out the situation.

What is it?

Do you worry about your mom?

Then, would you want to give her a call

and tell her that you worry about her?

I think she would prefer

to receive the call from Liu Tien-yen.

Perhaps.

How about you?

Would you want to receive a call from Tien-yen?

No.

Tien-yen,

this is auntie.

What are you doing?

I miss you so much.

Ching-ching is staying with me now.

Tien-yen,

the classroom you went to is my classroom now.

And your old seat is next to mine now.

Liu Tien-yen, you're really annoying.

How could you just disappear after watching a movie?

Do you still not feel well?

How about drinking some water?

Listen to me. Let me take you to see a doctor.

I've asked Yi-chun

and he said it's the reaction

from quitting drinking.

There's no need to see a doctor.

But Yi-chun also said that you should see a doctor.

That will give us peace of mind.

You should take some anti-anxiety medication

to reduce the discomfort.

I hate taking medication.

I'll just take a walk.

Can you leave me alone?

Didn't I tell you not to follow me?

I can't do this.

Are you having a stroke?

I haven't exercised for too long.

Are you alright?

I'm fine.

You're in pretty good shape.

What nonsense.

By the way,

I'll pay for the counseling fee.

We didn't have counseling.

No counseling?

We didn't cancel it until the last moment.

We still need to pay for it.

It's alright. I'll take care of it.

You've changed.

You would have turned around and left

if I said that to you in the past.

Let's pretend that I'm re-wooing a girl,

and I need more patience.

Who wants to court a girl

who is hot-tempered and has a bad attitude?

Unless there's something wrong with his brain.

It's possible.

He might have a multiple personality disorder,

might have been abused,

and is in a love-hate relationship.

It might be the Stockholm syndrome.

What nonsense are you talking about?

You're putting labels on yourself.

It's said, "You'll end up working as a reporter"

if you don't study hard when you're young."

Ching-ching's uncle,

can you not to be so scruffy?

We have a developing teen-age girl

living in the house.

I have worked all day long,

and am as tired as a dog,

and I can't be myself at home?

Game over.

What are you doing?

I'm reading the report I have to hand in tomorrow.

Stop reading it.

You're stinky today.

Go and take a shower.

I almost had a breakdown today

after that suicide news.

And I almost have concussion after being hit

by a patient at the hospital.

Look at here. It's swollen here.

Point at the place again for me.

Here.

Is it here? Is it?

It hurts.

Poor me.

What are you doing?

I want to let out the steam.

No. No.

My god. Do you think you're the lord?

Hadouken.

Hurry and take this guy back,

otherwise I'll be in a living hell from this news.

The other day,

I was checking information about schizophrenia.

I wondered

if...

if he had cancer

would it be better?

Would we not to be so terrified?

Sister Szu-yueh,

of course you feel that it's very difficult now.

Like me, two years ago,

I thought I couldn't do anything

or find a job.

But once you face it, you'll find out

that there are a lot of benefactors around you,

and the obstacles won't be so difficult anymore.

What happened to you two years ago?

Do you want to talk about it?

I'll tell you next time.

Anyway, I now believe that

as long as you face it bravely

things will turn around.

Not only will they turn around, they'll improve.

It'll get better.

Let me give a toast to you, sister Szu-yueh.

You're also a benefactor to me.

Thank you.

What plan do you have after you're discharged?

Finish the filming of the teaser.

Very good. You have a goal.

Do you still feel that you've being watched lately?

This place...

is heavily guarded,

and they can't enter.

Don't talk to me now.

Do you know where you are now?

A hospital. A hospital.

Then, who was the person

who you said not to talk to you earlier?

The movie producer.

You just said that you're at a hospital

and it's heavily guarded.

Then, how could the producer talk to you here?

The medication can only control some of

his delusions and hallucinations.

Some patients will have delusions

and hallucinations throughout their lives.

Try not to oppose or argue against him,

and find a way to live

with his hallucinations peacefully.

There wouldn't be any patients

if listening to the doctor worked.

You can't finish your film.

You'll be always a joke,

a loser.

I have faith in you.

It's not real.

It's not real.

You're not real.

Ma Fang-lin's speed of suing reporters is so fast.

This is the first time that I received such

an efficient court summon.

Everyone,

we have broken the record this month.

We got six summons.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if these were checks?

Dream on.

I can't believe that there are people

who have the time to sue others.

A lawsuit will take two or three years.

Aren't they tired?

I guess that they want to even the score.

(Attorney Wang She)

(Your brother has agreed to cooperate)

(in submitting an extraordinary appeal, )

(and to see you.)

Hsiao-ming.

Hsiao-ming.

What happened to Hsiao-ming?

Hsiao-ming... That... He said...

What is it?

He agreed to see us.

Let me check.

We don't have anything here.

Let's go to the market to buy something.

Yes. Let's buy a chicken.

A chicken won't work. It has bones.

How about stewed eggs?

Stewed eggs are good.

-And beef. -Beef is good. It's good.

Put the blue ones on the blue area. Understand?

That's right.

Your princess isn't even using her cell phone now.

She's fine. She can live here.

I'll support her all her life.

Don't talk nonsense.

There are more dishes in the kitchen.

Help me to get them out.

Sure. Hsiao-fei, it's time to eat.

Put the things away.

Good girl. Let's go and get the dishes.

Pregnant lady, please stay cheerful,

so you will have a healthy baby.

Do I really lead a charmed life?

You do have a charmed life.

Your dad spoils you rotten,

saying that a daughter should be elaborately

provided for as much as possible.

After graduation from college,

you fell in love with that penniless guy

three months after working at my company.

You got pregnant

without finding out Wang She's background.

You married him despite our strong opposition.

That's ancient history.

Why are you talking about it now?

Alright.

Try to think about

what strengths does Wang She possess?

He hands over all the money he makes.

He works diligently,

and may be too diligently.

But when he has spare time,

he will spend time with me and Hsiao-fei.

He's prudent, reliable, gentle

and handsome.

I'm the only person in his heart.

Then why are you discontent with him?

It's because he likes to help those bad people.

He defends for those people who commit crimes.

I know he has a strong sense of justice

and likes to help disadvantaged people,

but his sense of justice should be used

to help the victims.

He can combat crimes.

Your Royal Highness,

combating crimes is prosecutors' responsibility,

Wang She is a criminal defense lawyer.

I hope that he can take some other cases.

Do you love Wang She the person or his job?

Alright, let's eat.

Attorney Wang,

this is Ah-B. He's the reporter

who is responsible for this special report,

and previously interviewed

the criminal expert who evaluated Hsiao-ming.

However, he still needs to clarify some issues.

-How do you do? I'm Wang She. -How do you do?

This is my business card.

Actually, I have a new development,

which is that Li Hsiao-ming has agreed

to take another mental evaluation.

Has he?

So, you're drafting an extraordinary appeal,

-aren't you? -Not yet,

but at least we're moving one big step forward.

What's wrong?

Life section,

we don't need any news.

This is the biggest news now.

Tonight,

the Ministry of Justice will execute Li Hsiao-ming.

So soon?

Wasn't his death penalty

just confirmed not long ago?

Are you sure?

The inside news has been confirmed.

And at nine o'clock tonight,

the Ministry of Justice will hold

a press conference to explain to the public.

This is great. Justice will finally be served.

Call everyone back.

We're going to fight a beautiful battle.

Alright.

Come.

Maggie.

Ta-chih.

Let me finish the typing.

Hi, I'm Li Hsiao-ming's defense lawyer.

Will Li Hsiao-ming be executed today?

Sharon.

Or can you let us know about the time?

Yes.

Will it be 5:30 or 8:00 o'clock?

I'm Li Hsiao-ming's defense lawyer.

Why can the media know about it, while I can't?

Make a copy of it, and scan it into the computer.

Sharon, get me a car. Get me a car.

How are the work assignments?

Ah-she, who was in the middle of

taking wedding photos,

has arrived at the Ministry of Justice

to get ready for an outdoor live broadcast.

Chiao-chiao has interviewed two victims' families,

and will go live in a while.

Bro News,

should we ask the director or bro Chao-kuo

to do the live?

It'll be brilliant.

Are you looking for trouble?

Who will do the interview in the second scene?

We got ahold of the person who has carried

out several executions before...

Mom,

hasn't anyone called you today?

I just learned...

that Hsiao-ming will be executed tonight.

Do you still remember the random killing

that caused nine deaths and 21 injuries

at Youcheng Movie Theater two years ago?

SNG 1, get ready.

SNG 1, get ready.

The station is ready to cue you.

1 cue in Aux 1, right?

Aux 1, correct.

Get the sound ready for Audio Aux 1.

He expressed regret and incomprehension

for the Ministry of Justice's decision

to carry out the execution so quickly.

Our reporter Hung-she is currently now...

Get the audio ready.

Get ready.

About the situation at the scene,

we're now asking Hung-she...

Three, two, one.

-Go. -Please speak.

Yes, anchor,

Li Hsiao-ming is now being transferred

to the execution site.

The entire process from notification to transfer

has been done very quickly,

and only took a short 90 minutes.

Anchor, we'll go back to the scene in a while.

You'll short string,

and then we'll go to SNG 2.

Li Hsiao-ming didn't eat anything

and nor did he show any distinct expression.

Where's SNG 2?

SNG 2, get ready.

Thank you, Hung-she.

The convict who committed the random killing

at Youcheng Movie Theater

-will be executed soon. -SNG 2, get ready.

The prison has finished its preparations.

Next, we'll continue to bring you

the latest live reporting.

-Cue. -Go.

Yes, we just heard the gun shot now.

It's confirmed that Li Hsiao-ming has been executed.

I'm here now.

We're off work already.

The deputy minister of

the Ministry of Justice stated that

Li Hsiao-ming's case has been confirmed

by the Supreme Court's third instance.

Moreover, it's confirmed that

he wouldn't receive a pardon,

or anything else would happen that would

call for a temporary stay of execution.

The Ministry of Justice

has offered complete safeguards

for the human rights for the death row convict,

and therefore carried out the execution

according to law in order to realize social justice.

It is hoped that the importance and care

that the Ministry of Justice placed on this case,

will help return justice to the families.

However, after Li Hsiao-ming's body

was moved out of the prison,

it didn't go to the city mortuary as planned.

A lot of media personnel were waiting at the scene,

but didn't see the arrival of the hearse.

And the Li family hasn't shown up either.

If after Li Hsiao-ming's body has been

sent to the mortuary

to be kept in the freezer,

and no one comes to claim it,

his body will be cremated

and placed in a public columbarium.

Whether the Li family will choose

to continue hiding from the public

and sever their ties with Li Hsiao-ming,

or how will they handle

Li Hsiao-ming's funeral arrangements,

so far we haven't heard any information about them.

The Ministry of Justice has

offered complete safeguards for

the human rights of the death row convict.

To cause such a serious disturbance

to our society...

Who's at the door at this hour?

I'll answer it.

It's so late now. Who's it?

Why do you have such a strong alcohol smell?

Wang She, it's you. Come. Come in.

Mom.

Be careful.

Mom. Dad.

Did you drink?

I... I'm here to see Mei-mei.

I'm here to see Mei-mei.

I'm here to see my wife.

When will you come home?

You knew that Li Hsiao-ming would

be executed eventually,

Why did you drink so much?

I knew that he would die,

but I didn't know that he would die so soon.

There are 52 death row convicts ahead of him.

Why did they skip those people

and execute him in a hurry?

I don't get it.

It's like they wanted to tell the public

that our country can kill people legally.

Kill people legally.

-Have some water. -You can tell clearly

that it was filmed by TV stations.

Don't talk too much.

Dad,

I was his defense lawyer.

I didn't receive any notification.

I believe that his family didn't

receive any notification either.

They didn't.

But the news media received notification

ahead of time.

They went there to film it.

Why didn't they allow him to see his family

one last time?

I don't understand.

Is it legal?

Is it reasonable?

Is it compassionate?

That's enough.

He did deserve to die.

He killed people and deserved to die,

but it doesn't mean

that our democracy and the law have to

be buried along with him.

Why did we bother to arrest him

and then waste two years of time

having court sessions and investigations and such?

When he was captured,

all of us should have stabbed him until he died.

You all wanted him to die. I know that.

Everyone wanted him to die.

Public opinion and the media also wanted him to die.

But are our democracy and the law used

to please the people and the media?

What kind of democratic country under law is this?

He killed nine people,

and at least nine families were broken

because of him. Do you know that?

I know that.

He killed people and he deserved to die.

He was sick.

He was sick.

The cause of death for the death row convicts

in the United States

is murder when they're executed.

But the cause of death

for the death row convicts in Taiwan

is homicide.

It's okay to sentence them to death

if there is clear evidence for their crimes.

Why would a country so cruelly

take away the life from a young man?

I still haven't found out why he did it.

Now he's dead, and no one will know his reason.

No one will know.

I haven't heard of

a democratic and law-abiding country

that has to depend on killing people...

depend on killing people to soothe people's hearts

and protect our safety.

This is too ridiculous.

Don't be like that.

Sit down.

So, your sense of justice

and the human rights you're talking about,

are all for these people who deserve to die.

Dad.

He wants human rights,

how about the victims' human rights?

Listen,

you even gave up my daughter for these scums.

Don't.

-What are you thinking? -That's enough.

Even if he deserves to die

he should enjoy the same human rights as we do.

This includes the right that everyone is born equal.

Protecting these people's rights is my job,

is the job I want to do, and is the job I love.

Moreover, what are good people

and what are bad people?

Do you have the right answer for it?

Who has the right answer for it?

Sit down and rest, alright?

I'm drunk. Mei-mei, I'm drunk. I'm sorry.

Dad. Mom. Dad. Mom.

I'm drunk. I...

Rest for a while.

I'm heading home now. I...

I'm sorry. I'm heading home now.

I'll go home and wait for you, alright?

I'll go home and wait for you. I'm sorry.

If you still don't want to come home,

it's alright, I'll...

sign the divorce agreement.

I'll sign it. I'll sign it, that's it.

Sister Chiao-an,

I don't feel well.

I'd like to have a check-up at a hospital.

I have told sister A that

if the result of the check-up isn't good,

and IF I need to stay at the hospital

for a few days,

I'd like her to take my shift.

Is that alright with you?

Hmm.

Chiao-an, why are you calling me on the phone?

Do you have too much money to spend?

Find a cunning camera team to follow Li Ta-chih,

and then send another team

to keep their eyes on Li Hsiao-ming's body.

Follow Li Ta-chih?

It's exclusive news.

Do you want it?

At least I would ask the involved party

whether she agrees to my interview.

You have no sense of morality.

Did my son have the right to live?

My brother was Li Hsiao-ming.

I'm sorry

for holding out the truth from you for so long.

Are you kidding me?

They come here to look for their kid?

-Give them a chance. -We're sorry.

We can't find Hsiao-wen.

-We're sorry. -We can't find her.

We're all good people.

I don't know why things ended up like this.

Dad.

-Tai-sheng. -Dad.

Szu-tsung, hold on.

Szu-tsung...
