Episode 4

I'm sure it captured his face.
That's right.
Officer,
all my revenue from the past
few days has been stolen.
The thief's face isn't visible.
They also avoided security cameras.
- I have footage of it. That day--
- Sir.
Come here, please.
No, I'll find it for you later.
Okay, I'm coming.
You can't park here.
I'm sorry. What did you just say?
Are you from out of town?
Yes, I'm here to see a friend.
What was it that you said?
Stopping car.
Are you saying
I can't stop the car here?
That's right.
Okay, I'm sorry.
- I'll move it first.
- Hurry up.
Sorry.
Mrs. Lin.
- I'm here.
- Chiang Yuan.
Hi.
Chiang Yuan.
You must remember.
She forgot everything.
Don't talk about the past.
Okay, I understand.
Yes.
Mom.
Lin Chen.
Chiang Yuan is here to see you.
It has been a while.
I'm sorry.
When you had the accident,
I was stuck in South Africa working.
Now that I see you, I…
I'm Chiang Yuan.
Have you forgotten?
You and Chiang Yuan
dated in college.
You even brought him home
a few times.
When you were in a coma
after the car accident,
he kept calling to ask
if you were getting better.
How could you have forgotten him too?
It's fine as long
as Lin Chen is fine.
Here, this is rooibos tea
that I brought back.
Drink it while it's warm.
- Here, Mrs. Lin.
- Okay.
- Thank you.
- Be careful. It's hot.
Chiang Yuan.
How long will you be staying?
I'll stay here for a while.
By the way,
has the cause of the accident
been found?
The police concluded
it was an accident.
Her dad scrapped the car.
Chiang Yuan isn't back often.
Why don't you take him
to the orchard?
And you can tell your dad
to come home.
Your dad used to say
he wanted to travel.
Then you got into an accident.
Now that you're feeling better,
we can go traveling.
Isn't Dad busy these days?
No, we're not harvesting right now.
I heard a few days ago.
He was calling about fertilizer.
That's just an excuse.
Just tell your dad to come home.
It's okay.
I wanted to get
some fresh air anyway.
Lin Chen.
Can I come with you?
Your mom was acting a bit odd,
but don't imagine things.
You seem to know what I'm thinking.
Let me ask you.
Did you forget
what happened between us?
So have we kept in touch
the whole time?
Yes.
I left after I graduated
from college.
I've traveled all over the world
for over ten years
as a backpacker.
I always let you know where I was.
You also shared everything with me.
Let me do it.
Stay still.
Qunyang Cram School.
Thank you.
Qunyang Cram School.
There are so many.
That's right.
I can't pass it all out. Help me.
I'll take care of it.
Go and get some rest.
Come to cram school.
Get on my back.
Let's go.
Mr. Lin.
I'm Chiang Yuan.
It has been a while.
How are you?
Chen-hsi, what brings you here?
Dad, where are you going?
I was on my way
to fertilize the orchard.
Let me do it.
You should get some rest.
Go be with your dad.
I got it.
Chen-hsi, come in.
Try the citron tea I made.
Come.
Although this orchard is small,
I've grown a lot of things.
I have maintained it well.
Here.
You've been so busy.
You must be tired.
It's healthy to move the body.
Besides,
I need something to do in retirement
to pass the time.
Dad.
Mom asked if you want
to come home with me.
Did your mom say something to you?
It's just that I find it strange.
What's going on between you and Mom?
Nothing.
Your mom and I are doing fine.
Don't imagine things.
Last time, you said the police
asked you about
the murder of Mr. Hsieh.
Did he come to see you after that?
I don't think we'll see
each other again.
I don't remember a lot of things.
I even forgot about Chiang Yuan.
It's better that way.
Then you get a fresh start.
Your health is back to normal now.
You can do whatever you want.
Okay?
The orchard next door
brought some pears yesterday.
I'll wash and cut it for you.
Dad, don't trouble yourself.
I'll help you.
No, it's no big deal.
I'm happy that you came to see me.
Stay for dinner later.
Have a seat.
XINYUAN AUTO SALVAGE YARD
VEHICLE OWNER: LIN CHEN-HSI
XINYUAN AUTO SALVAGE YARD
Keep in touch.
Lin Chen-hsi.
What are you doing here?
Is there something
I can help you with?
Do you know you met
with Yen Sheng-hua before your crash?
It's in the security footage
at the hardware store.
Can you tell me
what Yen Sheng-hua
said to you that day?
I don't know.
- And I don't--
- I know you'll say you don't remember.
But this answer
sounds suspicious now.
I have no reason to kill Mr. Hsieh.
You wouldn't remember if you had one.
Did you check my call history?
In the past few months,
did Yen Sheng-hua ever call me?
How can you find me suspicious
from one security footage?
The only clue we have now
is that you and Yen Sheng-hua met up.
Did you ask around at the businesses
near the hardware store?
Maybe one of them
saw me talking to Yen Sheng-hua.
I asked around.
They don't remember you.
To be honest,
I was going
to have you come
to the station today.
I'm happy to help you with the case.
How about you come with me
to the hardware store?
I might remember something
that could help you.
Good morning.
- Morning.
- Morning.
Good morning.
Doesn't it smell weird?
It's very strong.
It's me.
The granny next to the bus stop
needs our help.
What? Do you think it stinks too?
I felt bad for her.
I bought it from the granny too.
Why are you wearing flat shoes?
It's comfortable.
Just follow Ms. Fang's rules.
She made you clean
because she's pissed.
Whatever.
Is Ms. Fang here?
My supervisor told me
to deliver files.
Kody.
CHIEF SECRETARY ROOM
You're here.
Come on in.
Okay.
Yes.
That's the spot.
Yes.
Harder.
What are they doing?
I don't know.
Yes.
That feels good.
- You're amazing.
- Secretary's Office. Hello. Yes.
- Ms. Fang, I should get back.
- Okay.
There's no rush.
Your hands are so soft.
Cockroach!
- Blasted roach!
- What are you doing?
- There's a cockroach!
- So…
- Ms. Fang, I'm going to go.
- Hold on.
Where did it go?
- Weird. The cockroach--
- You…
- Get out!
- Cockroach.
Cockroach, get out. Cockroach…
Thank you.
I should be the one thanking you.
But don't help me again
or else you'll suffer instead.
I don't care.
Ms. Fang said I'm new here,
so I need to digest some documents.
It doesn't matter.
So…
Does Ms. Fang take advantage of you
during business hours?
Today's massage wasn't so bad.
Sometimes, she used to talk,
caress my arm,
and say that I'm so strong.
Or she might spank my butt.
You're so oblivious.
Don't you know
it's sexual harassment?
Sexual harassment
is completely different
on men versus women.
Colleagues in my department often say
that I'm a cougar killer
and lucky to get groped.
So whenever we have to liaise
with the Secretary's Office,
they send me.
If you don't like it, just say no.
But I need this job.
So from now on, don't get angry
over something like this.
Otherwise,
Ms. Fang will find excuses
to give you a hard time.
I'm not scared.
I didn't want this job anyway.
But I have a bad habit.
If you want me to leave,
I'm going to stay put.
Who cares?
How old are you?
You're still so willful.
What?
Never met such a gutsy older woman?
Older woman?
You clearly look younger than me.
You're such a sweet talker.
No wonder Ms. Fang likes you so much.
I thought you wouldn't come.
If we're looking for clues together,
you have to trust me first.
Do you remember anything?
No.
But where did I go
after meeting with Yen Sheng-hua?
You know that, don't you?
Get in.
You came here before you went home.
Why did I come here?
Why are you asking me?
Feel free to take a look.
Did you make all these?
Chen-hsi?
Chen-hsi, is that you?
Where have you been?
You haven't visited in so long.
I was worried about you.
Do you know me?
She was in a car accident.
She forgot everything.
Hello, I'm Hsiao-liu.
Hi, I'm Ko-ko.
When I first set up my stall here,
I accidentally knocked over
the stall.
You happened to pass by
and helped me.
After that,
you often came to talk to me.
I also gave you recommendations
for books on patchwork and wool felt.
So that's how
I got those books at home.
You're really good with your hands.
You can make these patchwork
and wool felt products.
Did the doctor say
when your memory will come back?
It's fine.
Do you remember
what we used to talk about?
I remember
we were just chatting casually.
For example, you told me
about your job
at the learning center.
You said that you love children.
Sometimes,
you talked about your brother.
You said that you were
worried about him.
He often goes out at night.
That's about it.
Your life is actually very simple,
but you didn't seem very happy.
Why?
I don't know.
I always felt
that you seemed troubled.
Ko-ko, may I ask you a question?
Did she ever mention Yen Sheng-hua?
I don't think so.
Who is she?
She's a friend.
We've been looking for her.
You told me
you didn't have many friends.
You never brought anyone
to see me either.
Hsiao-liu must be
a close friend of yours.
Hsiao-liu?
Please.
Take care of Chen-hsi.
She's a really good person.
Lin Chen-ye.
I want to know
how my life used to be.
Was I troubled by anything?
Why do you ask that?
After the car accident,
I don't remember anything.
I want to know if I was happy or not.
In the past,
you were doing great.
Did Mom go somewhere?
She went out.
Don't you think
Mom has been acting strange lately?
She kept talking about
Dad being at the orchard.
I don't understand
why she insists that he come back.
Are they having problems?
No.
Don't think too much about it.
What about Yen Sheng-hua?
Have you seen her?
CHIANG YUAN:
WANT TO GRAB DINNER TONIGHT?
3399 GROUP, YANG CHIA-YING:
HI, EVERYONE. WANT TO MEET UP TONIGHT?
Were you a backpacker?
That's right.
When I was studying abroad,
I also visited many places.
My favorite was Austria.
Innsbruck.
Hallstatt.
Have you been there?
Yes.
A pianist who is sojourning
in Austria just came back.
I'm helping a few entrepreneurs
arrange for her to give a piano recital,
but she won't agree to it.
Are you talking about Eva Shen?
Do you know her?
I do.
I've been her interpreter before.
That's how we became friends.
Yes, just friends.
Don't read into it.
- Do you need help?
- Yes.
Okay. Come on.
What an interesting topic.
Why don't you two talk?
Chen-hsi and I will go home
after we finish our drinks, okay?
All right.
How is your new job?
Finally, someone cares.
Come on.
Of course it's terrible.
I get ordered
to run errands every day.
Just make a small adjustment. There.
Aim for the target.
Look straight ahead.
Aim for the target. Lower.
- It's not fair.
- Nice job.
Her ex-boyfriend helped.
Teach us.
Here.
Stand a little more sideways.
Look ahead.
Relax.
You can't close yourself off anymore.
Everyone needs friends.
I don't need friends.
Yang Chia-ying and Chen Chih-ling
used to be my best friends.
But they ended up being full of lies.
Do you know
how sickening and fake they are?
Don't come to work
if you don't want to.
How many days has it been?
You still don't meet the dress code.
Ms. Fang, it has been a while.
Are you off to another meeting?
I'm taking the rookie
to the warehouse for inventory.
You're almost due, right?
Your team is so busy.
It was irresponsible of you
to suddenly get pregnant.
I'll hand over all my work
before I go on maternity leave.
Ms. Fang, don't worry.
When Ta-chu was on maternity leave,
she was still on call at home.
I have to thank
Ms. Fang for the reminder
to consider the company's interests.
Otherwise, I would've been a shirker.
Did you hire a sitter?
Otherwise, when the baby is born,
your parents can take care of it.
In any case,
come back to work quickly.
And get your figure back
as soon as possible.
You're the head of PR.
Don't get fat like a pig.
Got it?
What's wrong with having a baby?
Shouldn't we show pregnant women
more understanding and tolerance?
And think about it this way.
Isn't having a baby
for the greater good of society?
In the future,
we'll have more rookies joining us.
Isn't that good?
I suddenly remembered.
I have something to do. I have to go.
Bye.
Organizing business cards
is ridiculous enough,
but you even have to clean
the storage room.
What did you do to offend Ms. Fang?
It's a long story.
I'm a persona non grata.
Keep your distance
or you might get into trouble too.
Lo Hsiao-nan,
Ms. Fang wants to see you.
Okay.
An employee just called and said
the nursing home was disinfected
on the day of the murder.
The contractor's vehicle was parked
on the road beside the lawn.
We might want to check
the vehicle's dashcam.
PEST CONTROL AND REPAIRS
Why didn't you tell us last time?
I'm sorry.
Since he's a long-time contractor
that we're familiar with,
he shouldn't be a problem.
We're close to the mountains,
so the seniors
are afraid of mosquito bites.
We will do the investigating.
You just have to tell the truth.
Okay, I'm sorry.
When was this cement board made?
During the last disinfection session,
we asked the contractor to do it.
It was supposed to extend
all the way,
but then the murder happened
and the contractor
became busy with other projects.
That's why
it has been on hold until now.
The work isn't done yet.
Junior.
Come.
Place your foot on top.
How old is the contractor?
How tall is he?
He's around 50 or 60 years old.
He's thin and short.
Check out the vehicle's dashcam.
The investigation of the murder
at Weilin Nursing Home is ongoing.
Retired teacher, Hsieh Chih-chung,
is speculated of being murdered
in his VIP room a few days ago.
After a nurse, Ms. Huang, found him
at 4:30 p.m. during her rounds,
she called the police.
When the police arrived,
Hsieh Chih-chung was already dead.
This afternoon,
the prosecution and medical examiner
- will examine…
- Where are you going, Lin Chen-ye?
- …strangulation marks
- Lin Chen-ye?
and a large dose
of sleeping pills was detected.
The case is deemed a homicide.
Hello?
- What is it?
- Sorry, Hsiao-liu.
Thank you for making time to sub in.
Don't mention it.
I was passing by anyway.
Hsieh Chih-chung's murder case
is a bit tricky.
But I'm on it.
Lin Chen-hsi.
Where are you going at this hour?
My brother just went out.
I'm worried.
You must really care about him
to go looking for him at this hour.
Do you still suspect me?
Get in.
Let's find your brother.
Hi.
Hi.
Eva Shen's recital
is already scheduled.
Today, I want to thank you properly.
You don't have to thank me for that.
You've done me a huge favor.
Thank you.
Champagne is better for sipping.
I believe
you are a gentleman.
I'm starting to understand you more.
Really?
What do you mean?
Actually, you understand
this society's stereotype of women.
And you take advantage of it
as a woman
to benefit and convenience yourself.
Right?
You're mocking me.
Although I didn't return
to get back together with Lin Chen,
I would still prefer to meet
when Lin Chen is around.
It will be better for both of us.
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.
Bye.
There's my brother. Wait.
Lin Chen-ye!
Where are you going at this hour?
Are you going to feed stray dogs?
He's a police officer.
Hsiao-liu.
Your sister is worried about you.
I'll take you two home.
We'll go on our own.
Thank you.
What are you doing?
PHONY, DIE
BEI
What are you doing? Who are you?
Why did you write
so many things on me?
She was hospitalized
for only a few days for appendicitis
and encounters this lunatic.
How is this Yen Sheng-hua
qualified to be an intern?
Mrs. Yang, I'm really sorry.
The school will take
disciplinary action
and give you a satisfactory account.
I'm sorry.
Your hospital
isn't selective about interns, is it?
What an absolute mess.
I'm sorry.
Picking up money?
You startled me.
Are you possessed?
I just heard a noise.
I thought something happened.
Did you need something?
That's right.
Is this your house key?
It was left in my car yesterday.
Thank you.
Do you know how to cook?
I don't.
My mom usually cooks,
but she's not here today.
You didn't come
just to return my key, did you?
I did come here to return the key.
But since I'm here,
is there anything related
to Yen Sheng-hua
that you can show me?
Can you do it or not?
I just wanted to try
cooking a few dishes.
Can you leave now?
Am I that unwelcome?
I think I should help you.
I'm fast.
Aren't you hurt?
Delicious.
Here. Tell your brother to join us.
Lin Chen-ye.
Lin Chen-ye.
He has been like this lately.
I don't know what is wrong.
I worked so hard to make it.
Don't you have any comments?
It's very good.
Let me tell you.
At the age of seven,
I started cooking
for my younger siblings.
I cook a few dishes as well
for the station's year-end dinner.
How long has your brother
been like this?
Did he see a doctor?
Does he have mental issues?
He wasn't like this before.
That's why I want to help him
get over it.
That shouldn't be too hard.
Once you find the key
and open the door,
you'll be able to enter.
Let me tell you.
Don't be fooled by my rough exterior.
When the customers at the seafood stall
brawl and get drunk,
I restore order.
I handle a lot
at the police station every day.
My colleagues
also come to me for advice.
If you need someone to talk to,
you can come to me too.
Okay.
Thank you for letting me
investigate with you.
Hello?
Junior, what is it?
I'll be right there.
By the way,
is there anything else
I can help you with Mr. Hsieh's case?
See if you remember
anything insignificant.
Sometimes,
something unremarkable
can be the key to solving the case.
I'll get going.
Sometimes,
something unremarkable
can be the key to solving the case.
The police concluded
it was an accident.
Her dad scrapped the car.
XINYUAN AUTO SALVAGE YARD
LIN CHEN-HSI: DID I EVER MENTION
YEN SHENG-HUA TO YOU?
SHE IS INVOLVED IN A MURDER CASE
A POLICE OFFICER IS SEARCHING FOR HER
Ms. Lin.
Your car has already been scrapped.
When it arrived here,
the front of the car
was badly crumpled.
Look.
I guess the auto shop owner
didn't think your car was worth fixing,
so he suggested to your dad
to deliver it straight here.
Everything
that was in the car is here.
I was going to call you
to come get this,
but I was so busy that I forgot.
Are you taking these with you today?
YEN SHENG-HUA, HEAD NURSE
LIN CHEN-HSI
For some reason, I keep seeing
a very vivid scene in my mind.
I don't know
why Yen Sheng-hua came to see me.
Those memories
could be your imagination.
I found this number
on Yen Sheng-hua's business card.
You know what happened
to Mr. Hsieh, right?
Has your brother
been different in any way lately?
The police officer we met last time
seems to be investigating Dad.
Do you think
Dad is involved in the murder?
Lin Yung-sheng!
Are you Yen Sheng-hua?
