Shards of Her (2022) s01e03 Episode Script
Episode 3
1
Why did you call the police on me?
- Don't come near me.
- I've never had a girlfriend.
Don't come near me.
I… You…
- Explain to Ms. Yang.
- Let go of me!
Miss.
Are you okay?
Who is this man to you?
Why did he attack you?
Why are you staring at me?
I'm a police officer. Don't worry.
Aren't you too unworried?
Am I that handsome?
Be careful.
Hao-ming!
Stop!
Hao-ming!
Look out!
Why did you follow me?
I just called my junior in Taipei.
This is their case.
That security secretly took pictures,
then assaulted you.
Too bad for him.
I'll treat your wound.
You didn't drink.
You don't look like you're on drugs.
Stop staring.
Should I apply medicine or not?
I'm sterilizing it, endure it a bit.
Have we met before?
I remember everyone I met.
I've never seen you.
You said you're a police officer.
Do you have an ID?
I just saved you
and you're doubting me?
I saved you too,
so can I see your ID?
You're checking the police?
I'm the one…
BUSINESS CARDS OF HOSTESSES
I went to a sexy teahouse last month
to investigate a case.
The lady gave it to me.
It's up to you to believe me or not.
I don't need to explain it to you.
So are you a police officer or not?
I…
I've been a police officer
for over a decade.
What the heck?
Do you believe me now?
People call me Hsiao-liu.
I'm in Taipei for an investigation.
I'm going back to Yilan later.
Hello?
I already asked Yen Sheng-hua's
nursing college classmates.
No one is in touch with her.
I'm going to check
with Lizheng Middle School.
A few of them moved to Taipei.
Yen Sheng-hua studied for four years.
She took a year off
for health reasons.
Don't you remember me?
I'm your senior, Sheng-hua.
Yen Sheng-hua.
Are you looking for Yen Sheng-hua?
I'll call you later.
Do you know Yen Sheng-hua?
We were in the same class in Grade 9.
We graduated together.
You are…
LIN CHEN-HSI
"Lin Chen-hsi"?
Based on the order
of the call history,
I'll only contact you after 13 people.
This is my first meal today.
I was busy at the station.
When was the last time
you spoke to her?
I'm not sure about the real situation.
But the doctor said
that what I remember doesn't exist.
What are you talking about?
Did you contact her or not?
The last time I saw her
was on November 17th.
She didn't look happy.
Her husband works with me.
Hold on.
It's only May.
Yen Sheng-hua isn't married.
I know.
But that's my problem.
I was in a car accident.
I suffered a severe concussion.
My memories are all mixed up.
I don't remember
what happened in the past.
I think I even made up things
that never happened.
Are you crazy
or are you messing with me?
I'm serious.
May I ask why you're looking
for Yen Sheng-hua?
Hsieh Chih-chung was killed
in a nursing home.
Yen Sheng-hua
is the chief nurse there.
Who is Hsieh Chih-chung?
Your Physics teacher.
Did you forget him too?
The station is looking for me.
I'll go back first.
Ms. Lin.
If you think about anything
related to Yen Sheng-hua,
please call me.
Hold on.
Can you give me a ride?
Is it on the way?
Yes.
Are you…
Are you always so forward?
I think I can trust you.
There are a lot of bad guys now.
You shouldn't trust just anyone.
Aren't you a police officer?
I've been busy.
I didn't have time to clean up.
It's a bit messy.
But don't worry.
I won't smoke.
I'm trying to quit.
You shouldn't have bought cigarettes.
It's hard enough to quit.
Why can't I buy cigarettes?
However,
I've already progressed
to using toothpicks.
Why do you keep staring at me?
You look a lot like someone I know.
No wonder.
Only my grandma
would look at me this way.
Does that person mean a lot to you?
Who is it? Your ex-boyfriend?
Is he married? Where is he?
He's a figment of my imagination,
just like Yen Sheng-hua.
So there's no such person.
I must really wonder
if you're not normal.
I'm very confused too.
But I don't think I can help you.
Because I don't even remember
Hsieh Chih-chung.
I'm just curious.
You don't remember anything.
How do you relate to people?
I trust my first instinct.
I haven't been in touch
with my high school friends,
but it seems nice to be around them.
So I trust them.
I don't trust my instincts.
Because it's dangerous.
If I remember anything
about Yen Sheng-hua,
how can I contact you?
Do you have a cell phone?
Call me if anything comes to mind.
Thank you.
When I'm working on a case,
I make an audio recording
of the details.
Write down
whatever comes to your mind.
It might help.
Okay.
Go inside. Don't wait for me.
Miss.
Are you okay?
What's going on?
A friend recommended
this Chinese medicine.
I know you don't like the taste.
Just drink some.
Does that person mean a lot to you?
Why did you follow me?
Write down
whatever comes to your mind.
It might help.
I know you're still mad at me.
I just want to talk to you.
Hsieh Chih-chung was killed
in a nursing home.
Yen Sheng-hua
is the chief nurse there.
Who is Hsieh Chih-chung?
Your Physics teacher.
Did you forget him too?
You're back?
Any news from the medical examiner?
According to the autopsy,
Hsieh Chih-chung ingested
high-concentration sleeping pills.
The killer strangled him
while he was sleeping soundly.
Any fingerprints?
No.
The killer must have worn gloves.
So it can't be ruled out
as a planned crime.
I sent out the soil you found
on the window last time.
Let's wait for the result.
I'm going home then.
YILAN COUNTY LIZHENG MIDDLE SCHOOL
CERTIFICATE OF MERI
HSIEH CHIH-CHUNG WINS
THE EXCELLENT TEACHER OF 1989
May 25th.
1:37 a.m.
Nine days since the murder
at Weilin Nursing Home.
Chief nurse Yen Sheng-hua…
WEILIN PRIVATE NURSING HOME
He's still there.
…is still missing.
After a thorough investigation,
we've found
that Yen Sheng-hua did well at work.
I'll get back to work first.
However,
Yen Sheng-hua is a loner.
She doesn't interact much
with people.
Except for
someone named Lin Chen-hsi.
They went to the same junior high.
Are you looking for Yen Sheng-hua?
But this woman
said some weird things.
I don't remember
what happened in the past.
I think I even made up things
that never happened.
Anyway, for now,
I'll find Yen Sheng-hua first.
I'm still collecting related evidence.
There might be other people involved.
You're calm. What about me?
If you had taken better care of this,
would our family turn out this way?
It has been 20 years.
Do you have to bring that up?
That is what ruined this family!
Breakfast is ready.
Where did you go yesterday?
Why did you come home so late?
I went to see
a high school friend yesterday.
Dad, Mom, did you two fight earlier?
What can your dad and I fight about?
Here.
Come on. Let's eat.
Lin Chen-ye!
Wake up and eat!
What's wrong with Lin Chen-ye again?
I don't know either.
It's okay.
Let's eat first.
Here.
I'm going back to the mountains today.
I need to organize the orchard.
I can't leave it.
Do we have an orchard?
After your dad retired,
he bought a piece of land
in the mountains to grow fruits.
When he's busy farming,
he doesn't come back
for a month or two
or even for half a year at times.
Didn't I already tell you?
This time,
I won't be long.
I didn't expect
that you'd even forget
we have an orchard.
It's okay.
Forget about the past.
Nothing happened anyway.
This is how our family is.
We just have an ordinary life.
Do you know Yen Sheng-hua?
She took a year off school
and ended up in my class.
I heard from a police officer
that my Physics teacher,
Hsieh Chih-chung, was murdered.
It seems like
Yen Sheng-hua is involved.
And she's missing.
We heard about Mr. Hsieh.
Why did the police contact you?
We just ran into each other.
So you don't remember her?
I've never heard
you talk about her before.
Let the police handle it.
It's none of our business anyway.
After eating,
I'll leave for the mountains.
Take good care of yourself.
If anything comes up,
call me right away, okay?
YEN SHENG-HUA
CHEN CHIH-LING INVITES YOU
TO THE 3399 FOREVER GROUP
GIRLS, IT'S EASIER
IF WE HAVE A GROUP.
I HEARD THEY CAUGHT THE GUARD.
WHEN DO WE GATHER AT MY PLACE AGAIN?
I MET THE SECURITY GUARD YESTERDAY.
LIN CHEN-HSI,
WHY AREN'T YOU REPLYING?
I'M HERE.
CHEN CHIH-LING DECIDED
TO WORK AT DATON.
SHE'S NERVOUS ABOUT REPORTING
TO WORK ON HER FIRST DAY.
DATON IS A GOOD COMPANY.
YOU CAN SURELY DO THIS.
Of course I'm nervous.
I'm not cut out to be a secretary.
I can do this.
Congratulations.
Starting today,
you're officially Daton's employee.
Regarding your rights and duties
in the company,
when you have time,
download the employee handbook.
Read it well, okay?
This whole floor
is where the HR Office
and Secretary Office are.
I know
you wanted to work
in the Planning Department.
But in Daton,
as long as you work hard,
you won't go unnoticed.
Look.
Ms. Fang from the Secretary Office
has been with Mr. Chang for decades.
So do your best here.
It will definitely help you
in the future.
Ta-chu.
- Come with me to the branch.
- Okay.
- Lo Hsiao-nan.
- Yes.
Remember to make 30 copies
of the materials
for a meeting this afternoon.
But Ms. Fang,
our copy machine is broken.
It's broken?
Can't you use your brain then?
And these gifts
are Mr. Chang's token
for the shareholders.
The PR Department
wrapped them hideously.
You didn't even check.
Are you trying to embarrass Mr. Chang?
Who are you?
I'm Chen Chih-ling. I'm new here.
It's you?
You're trying to get on my nerves now,
aren't you?
You're dressed unsuitably.
Why are you standing here?
Go and help.
Hi.
I'm sorry.
I didn't say hi to you earlier.
I had to see
if Ms. Fang likes you or not.
Ms. Fang started the business
with Mr. Chang.
She's Daton's underground
commander in chief.
People are terrified of her.
Also,
she gets mad for no reason
when she's constipated.
Thank you for sharing
such important information with me.
It's true.
Ta-chu told me.
Ms. Fang has many traditional beliefs.
And she has so many rules.
You gave her a bad impression today.
What's wrong with how I'm dressed?
Didn't HR inform you?
Ms. Fang wants secretaries
to always wear makeup.
It can't be too heavy or too light.
Your heels must be at least 3 cm
but less than 5 cm.
You have to dress modestly
in soft colors.
Ms. Fang said
that only those who are mourning
can wear all black.
What kind of weird dress code is that?
That's the stereotype of secretaries.
Ms. Fang said Mr. Chang
set those rules.
Do you know?
The whole company knows
that Ms. Fang didn't get married
because of Mr. Chang.
Everyone says she's very devoted
to Mr. Chang.
However,
I think she loves young guys.
Gosh, you're amazing!
Right.
Kody from the Business Department
is Ms. Fang's new love now.
Kody is really putting on a show.
Whenever he goes to Ms. Fang's office,
we don't know what they're doing.
Then I'd hear Ms. Fang
from the office saying,
"Goodness.
You're so annoying.
No.
I hate you."
I'm looking for Ms. Fang.
She just…
She took Ta-chu with her.
My team leader told me
to bring the report.
Should I put it on her desk?
It's okay. I'll do it.
Okay, thank you.
Let me introduce you.
This is Kody
from the Business Department.
And she's our new secretary.
I'm Kody Yang, Kody.
Hello.
I'm Chen Chih-ling.
Nice to meet you.
I'll get going then.
Bye.
You're so mean.
What should I do?
I'm liking you more and more.
Hello, Ta-chu?
Okay, I got it.
What is it?
Ta-chu wants me to order
a lettuce salad for afternoon tea.
Ms. Fang is constipated again.
Let's go.
Mom.
You called me dozens of times
this morning to have lunch with me.
But I can only eat a salad.
Baby.
You have to stay in shape
until you get married.
Aren't you afraid that you
can't get married if you become fat?
I'm telling you,
men are all about your figure.
Trust me.
Let me ask you one thing.
How are you and the youngest son
of the Cheng family,
- Rain?
- Ryan.
How are you getting along?
We're still together.
He has just been busy lately.
I'm busy too.
- We rarely talk to each other.
- Great.
Take this chance
to break up with him.
Why?
You and Dad were the ones
who wanted me to date him before.
Cheng's family business
has been going downhill lately.
Your dad wants to cut ties with them.
The way I see it,
end your relationship
as soon as possible.
Mom.
I have a relationship with Ryan.
It's not a business.
When it comes to relationships,
can you just end them?
It's for your own good.
Listen to your dad for once.
STRAWBERRY
- I'm thirsty. Give me some water.
- You're home?
I need water.
Here, have some herbal tea.
How nice.
There are strawberries.
I love strawberries.
I'm the one who loves them.
I love them more, okay?
- What kind of guy likes strawberries?
- It's my favorite.
Lin Chen-ye.
Did you wash your hands?
- Go wash your hands.
- Wash your hands.
- Come on.
- Okay, I'm done.
Why did you get the big piece first?
I want it too.
- I like big pieces.
- There's plenty.
- Don't fight over it.
- No fighting.
- Sit down and eat.
- Come on.
Thank you, Mom.
Dad went to the orchard.
Mom went grocery shopping.
Mom told me that you
don't like talking more and more.
Is that true?
She said you couldn't find a job
after graduating from college,
so you started isolating yourself.
But I don't think
you'd give up so easily.
I've always thought you're smarter
and braver than me.
When we were little,
we fought all the time.
We like the same food.
We even often say the same thing.
Do you remember when I broke my leg
once when I was little?
You happened to break your arm too.
We are two people,
but also one person.
Can you tell me
what exactly happened?
Or did you tell me and I forgot?
I'm really fine.
An earthquake.
That's what you do
during an earthquake.
You all did the duck, cover, and hold
very well.
- Okay, slowly.
- Come on, walk slowly.
An-an?
An-an, what's wrong?
My dad and mom are fighting.
My mom said
she wants to divorce my dad.
Sometimes, adults just say things
out of anger when they fight.
Don't worry, okay?
But my dad drinks a lot.
He said if my mom divorced him,
he'd bring us to die on my birthday.
I don't want to die.
Your dad is just drunk.
But I'm so scared.
I don't want to spend my birthday
with my dad.
What if you come to the cram school
on your birthday
and I'll celebrate with you?
When is your birthday?
May 25th.
It's okay now.
MAY 25, 2021, TUESDAY
I'll go out for a while.
Where are you going?
Did An-an come to class today?
An-an isn't coming today.
Her dad called.
Today is An-an's birthday.
Their family is celebrating together.
It has been hard for An-an
during this time
because her parents got divorced.
But I think she'll be happy today.
Do you need help?
I just remembered something.
Do you want to drive me?
An-an might be in danger.
Who is An-an?
Is anyone home?
Is what you remembered
true or not?
Someone is really in danger.
I'm begging you, okay?
Open the door!
Hello!
Step back!
An-an, it's Chen-hsi.
Can you hear me?
Can you hear what I said?
An-an.
An-an.
I'm sorry, I'm late.
I almost forgot.
- An-an.
- Call an ambulance.
The medical staff told me earlier
that the three of them
are still alive.
Don't worry.
You should apply
medicine on your hand.
Come on.
Let's get the car.
Let's get it later.
Do you remember
anyone else in danger?
Can I look under your collar?
I know it's an odd request.
But I hope you can understand.
I just wanted to make sure
- if you have--
- Wait.
Are you trying to lower my guard?
I'm telling you,
this won't work on me.
I met with your classmates
this morning.
They said you and Sheng-hua
are actually very close.
You even attended Hsieh Chih-chung's
after-school class.
How strange.
You acted like you weren't close.
I don't remember that.
You don't remember?
That's a good excuse.
I have reason to suspect
that you're feigning ignorance
to protect Yen Sheng-hua.
I don't have to lie.
I already asked my parents.
They said they don't know
who Yen Sheng-hua is.
Then don't make ridiculous requests.
I'm a police officer.
I'm working on a case.
Thank you for helping me save An-an.
At least I've confirmed
that some of what I remember is true.
Excuse me.
I'm investigating a murder case.
I need to check
one of your patients' medical records.

What are you doing here?
Did you go through my things?
Give it back.
- Why would you buy a girl's item?
- Give it to me.
You don't need to know.
Have you been so cold to me for years
because you have another woman?
You're afraid that Lin Chen-hsi
will find us suspicious
and you want me to play along.
But I can't pretend anymore.
Let's find a time
to get a divorce.
- I… No.
- Go.
I don't want to. I…
- I don't want a divorce! I…
- Go.
- I don't want a divorce!
- Get out!
- You can't do this to me!
- Go!
You can't do this to me!
I can't take it anymore!
You can't do this to me.
We've been married for over 30 years.
We've been through so much together.
You can't do this to me.
Ordering food from apps
has already become mainstream.
However, someone is doing scams
on delivery platforms.
When ordered food
on the delivery platform…
I have reason to suspect
that you're feigning ignorance
to protect Yen Sheng-hua.
We're appealing to people
not to be greedy
and defy the law.
Next, we have breaking news.
Yes, ma'am.
The reporter is at the scene
of the shooting.
Earlier today, the Yilan police
were injured while on duty.
The shooting occurred at a house
between a few officers
and a fugitive with a gun.
The suspect was arrested on the spot,
but the process was very dangerous.
Several officers
were injured as a result.
One officer was seriously injured
and on his way
to Yilan Hsinying Memorial Hospital
for an operation.
This is Cheng Yu-hsiang
from Focus News
for the live report.
EMERGENCY ROOM
Why are you here?
What are you doing here at this hour?
Are you getting a checkup
after your accident?
Are you okay?
I saw the news about your offensive.
I'm fine.
I went to back them up.
My colleague
is in a more serious condition.
He's being treated now.
If there's nothing else,
I'll get going.
Did you put your hand out
to pull my shirt just now?
I think
I'll just show you.
Here.
I…
I saw your medical history.
It was a major accident.
I was rude to you before.
I'm sorry.
Thank you for helping me.
I know what to do now.
Hsiao-liu.
Hsiao-liu.
There's a report of a theft
on Zhongyuan Street.
We're really short-staffed now.
We're all busy.
Can you help out?
Can you back them up?
Okay.
Thank you.
CHIANG YUAN
Hello?
Lin Chen-hsi.
You haven't changed.
Come.
Hello? Lin Chen, this is Chiang Yuan.
Hello? Can you hear me?
Lin Chen?
It has been a while.
NEXT EPISODE PREVIEW
I'm Chiang Yuan.
Have you forgotten?
Last time, you said the police
asked you about the murder
of Mr. Hsieh.
Did he come to see you after that?
Aren't you worried
that Lin Chen will remember
more details about how you hurt her?
Right now, I just don't want her
to remember Yen Sheng-hua.
The only clue we have now
is that you and Yen Sheng-hua met up.
If we're looking for clues together,
you have to trust me first.
Chen-hsi?
Chen-hsi, is that you?
Subtitle translation by: Coleen Chua
Why did you call the police on me?
- Don't come near me.
- I've never had a girlfriend.
Don't come near me.
I… You…
- Explain to Ms. Yang.
- Let go of me!
Miss.
Are you okay?
Who is this man to you?
Why did he attack you?
Why are you staring at me?
I'm a police officer. Don't worry.
Aren't you too unworried?
Am I that handsome?
Be careful.
Hao-ming!
Stop!
Hao-ming!
Look out!
Why did you follow me?
I just called my junior in Taipei.
This is their case.
That security secretly took pictures,
then assaulted you.
Too bad for him.
I'll treat your wound.
You didn't drink.
You don't look like you're on drugs.
Stop staring.
Should I apply medicine or not?
I'm sterilizing it, endure it a bit.
Have we met before?
I remember everyone I met.
I've never seen you.
You said you're a police officer.
Do you have an ID?
I just saved you
and you're doubting me?
I saved you too,
so can I see your ID?
You're checking the police?
I'm the one…
BUSINESS CARDS OF HOSTESSES
I went to a sexy teahouse last month
to investigate a case.
The lady gave it to me.
It's up to you to believe me or not.
I don't need to explain it to you.
So are you a police officer or not?
I…
I've been a police officer
for over a decade.
What the heck?
Do you believe me now?
People call me Hsiao-liu.
I'm in Taipei for an investigation.
I'm going back to Yilan later.
Hello?
I already asked Yen Sheng-hua's
nursing college classmates.
No one is in touch with her.
I'm going to check
with Lizheng Middle School.
A few of them moved to Taipei.
Yen Sheng-hua studied for four years.
She took a year off
for health reasons.
Don't you remember me?
I'm your senior, Sheng-hua.
Yen Sheng-hua.
Are you looking for Yen Sheng-hua?
I'll call you later.
Do you know Yen Sheng-hua?
We were in the same class in Grade 9.
We graduated together.
You are…
LIN CHEN-HSI
"Lin Chen-hsi"?
Based on the order
of the call history,
I'll only contact you after 13 people.
This is my first meal today.
I was busy at the station.
When was the last time
you spoke to her?
I'm not sure about the real situation.
But the doctor said
that what I remember doesn't exist.
What are you talking about?
Did you contact her or not?
The last time I saw her
was on November 17th.
She didn't look happy.
Her husband works with me.
Hold on.
It's only May.
Yen Sheng-hua isn't married.
I know.
But that's my problem.
I was in a car accident.
I suffered a severe concussion.
My memories are all mixed up.
I don't remember
what happened in the past.
I think I even made up things
that never happened.
Are you crazy
or are you messing with me?
I'm serious.
May I ask why you're looking
for Yen Sheng-hua?
Hsieh Chih-chung was killed
in a nursing home.
Yen Sheng-hua
is the chief nurse there.
Who is Hsieh Chih-chung?
Your Physics teacher.
Did you forget him too?
The station is looking for me.
I'll go back first.
Ms. Lin.
If you think about anything
related to Yen Sheng-hua,
please call me.
Hold on.
Can you give me a ride?
Is it on the way?
Yes.
Are you…
Are you always so forward?
I think I can trust you.
There are a lot of bad guys now.
You shouldn't trust just anyone.
Aren't you a police officer?
I've been busy.
I didn't have time to clean up.
It's a bit messy.
But don't worry.
I won't smoke.
I'm trying to quit.
You shouldn't have bought cigarettes.
It's hard enough to quit.
Why can't I buy cigarettes?
However,
I've already progressed
to using toothpicks.
Why do you keep staring at me?
You look a lot like someone I know.
No wonder.
Only my grandma
would look at me this way.
Does that person mean a lot to you?
Who is it? Your ex-boyfriend?
Is he married? Where is he?
He's a figment of my imagination,
just like Yen Sheng-hua.
So there's no such person.
I must really wonder
if you're not normal.
I'm very confused too.
But I don't think I can help you.
Because I don't even remember
Hsieh Chih-chung.
I'm just curious.
You don't remember anything.
How do you relate to people?
I trust my first instinct.
I haven't been in touch
with my high school friends,
but it seems nice to be around them.
So I trust them.
I don't trust my instincts.
Because it's dangerous.
If I remember anything
about Yen Sheng-hua,
how can I contact you?
Do you have a cell phone?
Call me if anything comes to mind.
Thank you.
When I'm working on a case,
I make an audio recording
of the details.
Write down
whatever comes to your mind.
It might help.
Okay.
Go inside. Don't wait for me.
Miss.
Are you okay?
What's going on?
A friend recommended
this Chinese medicine.
I know you don't like the taste.
Just drink some.
Does that person mean a lot to you?
Why did you follow me?
Write down
whatever comes to your mind.
It might help.
I know you're still mad at me.
I just want to talk to you.
Hsieh Chih-chung was killed
in a nursing home.
Yen Sheng-hua
is the chief nurse there.
Who is Hsieh Chih-chung?
Your Physics teacher.
Did you forget him too?
You're back?
Any news from the medical examiner?
According to the autopsy,
Hsieh Chih-chung ingested
high-concentration sleeping pills.
The killer strangled him
while he was sleeping soundly.
Any fingerprints?
No.
The killer must have worn gloves.
So it can't be ruled out
as a planned crime.
I sent out the soil you found
on the window last time.
Let's wait for the result.
I'm going home then.
YILAN COUNTY LIZHENG MIDDLE SCHOOL
CERTIFICATE OF MERI
HSIEH CHIH-CHUNG WINS
THE EXCELLENT TEACHER OF 1989
May 25th.
1:37 a.m.
Nine days since the murder
at Weilin Nursing Home.
Chief nurse Yen Sheng-hua…
WEILIN PRIVATE NURSING HOME
He's still there.
…is still missing.
After a thorough investigation,
we've found
that Yen Sheng-hua did well at work.
I'll get back to work first.
However,
Yen Sheng-hua is a loner.
She doesn't interact much
with people.
Except for
someone named Lin Chen-hsi.
They went to the same junior high.
Are you looking for Yen Sheng-hua?
But this woman
said some weird things.
I don't remember
what happened in the past.
I think I even made up things
that never happened.
Anyway, for now,
I'll find Yen Sheng-hua first.
I'm still collecting related evidence.
There might be other people involved.
You're calm. What about me?
If you had taken better care of this,
would our family turn out this way?
It has been 20 years.
Do you have to bring that up?
That is what ruined this family!
Breakfast is ready.
Where did you go yesterday?
Why did you come home so late?
I went to see
a high school friend yesterday.
Dad, Mom, did you two fight earlier?
What can your dad and I fight about?
Here.
Come on. Let's eat.
Lin Chen-ye!
Wake up and eat!
What's wrong with Lin Chen-ye again?
I don't know either.
It's okay.
Let's eat first.
Here.
I'm going back to the mountains today.
I need to organize the orchard.
I can't leave it.
Do we have an orchard?
After your dad retired,
he bought a piece of land
in the mountains to grow fruits.
When he's busy farming,
he doesn't come back
for a month or two
or even for half a year at times.
Didn't I already tell you?
This time,
I won't be long.
I didn't expect
that you'd even forget
we have an orchard.
It's okay.
Forget about the past.
Nothing happened anyway.
This is how our family is.
We just have an ordinary life.
Do you know Yen Sheng-hua?
She took a year off school
and ended up in my class.
I heard from a police officer
that my Physics teacher,
Hsieh Chih-chung, was murdered.
It seems like
Yen Sheng-hua is involved.
And she's missing.
We heard about Mr. Hsieh.
Why did the police contact you?
We just ran into each other.
So you don't remember her?
I've never heard
you talk about her before.
Let the police handle it.
It's none of our business anyway.
After eating,
I'll leave for the mountains.
Take good care of yourself.
If anything comes up,
call me right away, okay?
YEN SHENG-HUA
CHEN CHIH-LING INVITES YOU
TO THE 3399 FOREVER GROUP
GIRLS, IT'S EASIER
IF WE HAVE A GROUP.
I HEARD THEY CAUGHT THE GUARD.
WHEN DO WE GATHER AT MY PLACE AGAIN?
I MET THE SECURITY GUARD YESTERDAY.
LIN CHEN-HSI,
WHY AREN'T YOU REPLYING?
I'M HERE.
CHEN CHIH-LING DECIDED
TO WORK AT DATON.
SHE'S NERVOUS ABOUT REPORTING
TO WORK ON HER FIRST DAY.
DATON IS A GOOD COMPANY.
YOU CAN SURELY DO THIS.
Of course I'm nervous.
I'm not cut out to be a secretary.
I can do this.
Congratulations.
Starting today,
you're officially Daton's employee.
Regarding your rights and duties
in the company,
when you have time,
download the employee handbook.
Read it well, okay?
This whole floor
is where the HR Office
and Secretary Office are.
I know
you wanted to work
in the Planning Department.
But in Daton,
as long as you work hard,
you won't go unnoticed.
Look.
Ms. Fang from the Secretary Office
has been with Mr. Chang for decades.
So do your best here.
It will definitely help you
in the future.
Ta-chu.
- Come with me to the branch.
- Okay.
- Lo Hsiao-nan.
- Yes.
Remember to make 30 copies
of the materials
for a meeting this afternoon.
But Ms. Fang,
our copy machine is broken.
It's broken?
Can't you use your brain then?
And these gifts
are Mr. Chang's token
for the shareholders.
The PR Department
wrapped them hideously.
You didn't even check.
Are you trying to embarrass Mr. Chang?
Who are you?
I'm Chen Chih-ling. I'm new here.
It's you?
You're trying to get on my nerves now,
aren't you?
You're dressed unsuitably.
Why are you standing here?
Go and help.
Hi.
I'm sorry.
I didn't say hi to you earlier.
I had to see
if Ms. Fang likes you or not.
Ms. Fang started the business
with Mr. Chang.
She's Daton's underground
commander in chief.
People are terrified of her.
Also,
she gets mad for no reason
when she's constipated.
Thank you for sharing
such important information with me.
It's true.
Ta-chu told me.
Ms. Fang has many traditional beliefs.
And she has so many rules.
You gave her a bad impression today.
What's wrong with how I'm dressed?
Didn't HR inform you?
Ms. Fang wants secretaries
to always wear makeup.
It can't be too heavy or too light.
Your heels must be at least 3 cm
but less than 5 cm.
You have to dress modestly
in soft colors.
Ms. Fang said
that only those who are mourning
can wear all black.
What kind of weird dress code is that?
That's the stereotype of secretaries.
Ms. Fang said Mr. Chang
set those rules.
Do you know?
The whole company knows
that Ms. Fang didn't get married
because of Mr. Chang.
Everyone says she's very devoted
to Mr. Chang.
However,
I think she loves young guys.
Gosh, you're amazing!
Right.
Kody from the Business Department
is Ms. Fang's new love now.
Kody is really putting on a show.
Whenever he goes to Ms. Fang's office,
we don't know what they're doing.
Then I'd hear Ms. Fang
from the office saying,
"Goodness.
You're so annoying.
No.
I hate you."
I'm looking for Ms. Fang.
She just…
She took Ta-chu with her.
My team leader told me
to bring the report.
Should I put it on her desk?
It's okay. I'll do it.
Okay, thank you.
Let me introduce you.
This is Kody
from the Business Department.
And she's our new secretary.
I'm Kody Yang, Kody.
Hello.
I'm Chen Chih-ling.
Nice to meet you.
I'll get going then.
Bye.
You're so mean.
What should I do?
I'm liking you more and more.
Hello, Ta-chu?
Okay, I got it.
What is it?
Ta-chu wants me to order
a lettuce salad for afternoon tea.
Ms. Fang is constipated again.
Let's go.
Mom.
You called me dozens of times
this morning to have lunch with me.
But I can only eat a salad.
Baby.
You have to stay in shape
until you get married.
Aren't you afraid that you
can't get married if you become fat?
I'm telling you,
men are all about your figure.
Trust me.
Let me ask you one thing.
How are you and the youngest son
of the Cheng family,
- Rain?
- Ryan.
How are you getting along?
We're still together.
He has just been busy lately.
I'm busy too.
- We rarely talk to each other.
- Great.
Take this chance
to break up with him.
Why?
You and Dad were the ones
who wanted me to date him before.
Cheng's family business
has been going downhill lately.
Your dad wants to cut ties with them.
The way I see it,
end your relationship
as soon as possible.
Mom.
I have a relationship with Ryan.
It's not a business.
When it comes to relationships,
can you just end them?
It's for your own good.
Listen to your dad for once.
STRAWBERRY
- I'm thirsty. Give me some water.
- You're home?
I need water.
Here, have some herbal tea.
How nice.
There are strawberries.
I love strawberries.
I'm the one who loves them.
I love them more, okay?
- What kind of guy likes strawberries?
- It's my favorite.
Lin Chen-ye.
Did you wash your hands?
- Go wash your hands.
- Wash your hands.
- Come on.
- Okay, I'm done.
Why did you get the big piece first?
I want it too.
- I like big pieces.
- There's plenty.
- Don't fight over it.
- No fighting.
- Sit down and eat.
- Come on.
Thank you, Mom.
Dad went to the orchard.
Mom went grocery shopping.
Mom told me that you
don't like talking more and more.
Is that true?
She said you couldn't find a job
after graduating from college,
so you started isolating yourself.
But I don't think
you'd give up so easily.
I've always thought you're smarter
and braver than me.
When we were little,
we fought all the time.
We like the same food.
We even often say the same thing.
Do you remember when I broke my leg
once when I was little?
You happened to break your arm too.
We are two people,
but also one person.
Can you tell me
what exactly happened?
Or did you tell me and I forgot?
I'm really fine.
An earthquake.
That's what you do
during an earthquake.
You all did the duck, cover, and hold
very well.
- Okay, slowly.
- Come on, walk slowly.
An-an?
An-an, what's wrong?
My dad and mom are fighting.
My mom said
she wants to divorce my dad.
Sometimes, adults just say things
out of anger when they fight.
Don't worry, okay?
But my dad drinks a lot.
He said if my mom divorced him,
he'd bring us to die on my birthday.
I don't want to die.
Your dad is just drunk.
But I'm so scared.
I don't want to spend my birthday
with my dad.
What if you come to the cram school
on your birthday
and I'll celebrate with you?
When is your birthday?
May 25th.
It's okay now.
MAY 25, 2021, TUESDAY
I'll go out for a while.
Where are you going?
Did An-an come to class today?
An-an isn't coming today.
Her dad called.
Today is An-an's birthday.
Their family is celebrating together.
It has been hard for An-an
during this time
because her parents got divorced.
But I think she'll be happy today.
Do you need help?
I just remembered something.
Do you want to drive me?
An-an might be in danger.
Who is An-an?
Is anyone home?
Is what you remembered
true or not?
Someone is really in danger.
I'm begging you, okay?
Open the door!
Hello!
Step back!
An-an, it's Chen-hsi.
Can you hear me?
Can you hear what I said?
An-an.
An-an.
I'm sorry, I'm late.
I almost forgot.
- An-an.
- Call an ambulance.
The medical staff told me earlier
that the three of them
are still alive.
Don't worry.
You should apply
medicine on your hand.
Come on.
Let's get the car.
Let's get it later.
Do you remember
anyone else in danger?
Can I look under your collar?
I know it's an odd request.
But I hope you can understand.
I just wanted to make sure
- if you have--
- Wait.
Are you trying to lower my guard?
I'm telling you,
this won't work on me.
I met with your classmates
this morning.
They said you and Sheng-hua
are actually very close.
You even attended Hsieh Chih-chung's
after-school class.
How strange.
You acted like you weren't close.
I don't remember that.
You don't remember?
That's a good excuse.
I have reason to suspect
that you're feigning ignorance
to protect Yen Sheng-hua.
I don't have to lie.
I already asked my parents.
They said they don't know
who Yen Sheng-hua is.
Then don't make ridiculous requests.
I'm a police officer.
I'm working on a case.
Thank you for helping me save An-an.
At least I've confirmed
that some of what I remember is true.
Excuse me.
I'm investigating a murder case.
I need to check
one of your patients' medical records.

What are you doing here?
Did you go through my things?
Give it back.
- Why would you buy a girl's item?
- Give it to me.
You don't need to know.
Have you been so cold to me for years
because you have another woman?
You're afraid that Lin Chen-hsi
will find us suspicious
and you want me to play along.
But I can't pretend anymore.
Let's find a time
to get a divorce.
- I… No.
- Go.
I don't want to. I…
- I don't want a divorce! I…
- Go.
- I don't want a divorce!
- Get out!
- You can't do this to me!
- Go!
You can't do this to me!
I can't take it anymore!
You can't do this to me.
We've been married for over 30 years.
We've been through so much together.
You can't do this to me.
Ordering food from apps
has already become mainstream.
However, someone is doing scams
on delivery platforms.
When ordered food
on the delivery platform…
I have reason to suspect
that you're feigning ignorance
to protect Yen Sheng-hua.
We're appealing to people
not to be greedy
and defy the law.
Next, we have breaking news.
Yes, ma'am.
The reporter is at the scene
of the shooting.
Earlier today, the Yilan police
were injured while on duty.
The shooting occurred at a house
between a few officers
and a fugitive with a gun.
The suspect was arrested on the spot,
but the process was very dangerous.
Several officers
were injured as a result.
One officer was seriously injured
and on his way
to Yilan Hsinying Memorial Hospital
for an operation.
This is Cheng Yu-hsiang
from Focus News
for the live report.
EMERGENCY ROOM
Why are you here?
What are you doing here at this hour?
Are you getting a checkup
after your accident?
Are you okay?
I saw the news about your offensive.
I'm fine.
I went to back them up.
My colleague
is in a more serious condition.
He's being treated now.
If there's nothing else,
I'll get going.
Did you put your hand out
to pull my shirt just now?
I think
I'll just show you.
Here.
I…
I saw your medical history.
It was a major accident.
I was rude to you before.
I'm sorry.
Thank you for helping me.
I know what to do now.
Hsiao-liu.
Hsiao-liu.
There's a report of a theft
on Zhongyuan Street.
We're really short-staffed now.
We're all busy.
Can you help out?
Can you back them up?
Okay.
Thank you.
CHIANG YUAN
Hello?
Lin Chen-hsi.
You haven't changed.
Come.
Hello? Lin Chen, this is Chiang Yuan.
Hello? Can you hear me?
Lin Chen?
It has been a while.
NEXT EPISODE PREVIEW
I'm Chiang Yuan.
Have you forgotten?
Last time, you said the police
asked you about the murder
of Mr. Hsieh.
Did he come to see you after that?
Aren't you worried
that Lin Chen will remember
more details about how you hurt her?
Right now, I just don't want her
to remember Yen Sheng-hua.
The only clue we have now
is that you and Yen Sheng-hua met up.
If we're looking for clues together,
you have to trust me first.
Chen-hsi?
Chen-hsi, is that you?
