"Memory of an Elephant" by Fang Wu

[Wacko At Law]
[Episode 2]

(Previous Episode Review)
The female lead has been changed?

Miss Zhang, are you intending to sue Huaya Entertainment?

They snatched away my hard-earned right

Why are you in my husband's room?

You're very unlucky that this incident happened.

- Do you mean... Mai Da Qi?
- Mai Da Qi.

- A passenger was breaking the rules by using their phone, which then led to the plane crashing.
- He's lying.

The lawyer that defeated Wu Jing Tao.

I must stand here and plead Your Honor to do what's right for the families of the victims. Return justice to them!

Give the families of the victims' justice!

I hope you can collaborate with him.

My name is Tian Yu Xin. I'm an assistant at Zhenlu Law Firm. Please take care of me.

Lawyer Mai, please. Miss Zhang really needs you.
[Episode 2]

- There's no need.
- Our firm...

- Please, we really need you—
- Yay!

Welcome to Cool Talk King's broadcast station!

Cool fans! Right now, we are seeing the image of a man who mysteriously disappeared for four years.

- Great Master Lawyer Mai!
- Go away!

Let me ask when you'll make a comeback!

- No comment!
- Hey, no!

- Ignore him.
- Hey, I'm protecting you!

How could you protect me?

Please answer!

- Are you okay?
- You... who are you?!

I'm Tian Yu Xin. I'm the apprentice lawyer at Zhenlu Law Firm,

and also the assistant of Mai Da Qi.

- Are you okay?
- It hurts!

He is able to reach out and take your business card. Let's go, hurry!

I'm sorry, I'm sorry!

- Lawyer Mai!
- Everyone, did you see

that violent woman? She's a violent woman!

Lawyer Mai, please.

When did you become my assistant?

Just a moment ago. Also, you didn't reject me.

Just because I didn't reject you, it doesn't mean you become one!

Please! If you are like this, it'll be hard for me to explain when I go back.

There's nothing for you to explain.

Lawyer Mai, please! You must call me! Remember!

- Excuse me.
- Slowly, slowly.

- Lawyer Mai!
- Call the ambulance!

Also inside your bag is my business card.

You must call me back!

- You must call me back! Call me back!
- Bye.

Please! Please!

Please, Mai Da Qi!

Please, Lawyer Mai!

Brother Da Qi, you don't want to take on this case?

Open audition for the lead actress...

- You probably should accept the case this time.
- Reason?

It's best if you don't know.

That's not a reason.

You really want to know? I'm afraid you won't be able to take it.

Speak.

Do you remember I told you about a girl four years ago?

Which girl?

Cherry flavor.

- Cherry flavor.
- Yeah.

When I was in court, how did I wake up?

Someone gave you CPR.

It is her, Tian Yu Xin.

She saved your life. That's the first reason.

She now came to ask you for a favor without even mentioning that she saved your life four years ago.

I'm protecting you!

Please, Mai Da Qi!

[Zhenlu Law Firm]

You said Mai Da Qi didn't reject it?

No.

Then did he agree?

Not yet.

What not yet? It's just a yes or no question, don't lie!

No!

I knew it.

Tian Yu Xin, don't be too sad.

Everyone knows Mai Da Qi's personality.

He's arrogant and conceited.

You're just a small assistant who went to find him and then got rejected.

It's fine. The world is like that.

Don't be sad.

Yu Xin, don't be sad.

I know you tried your best.

I'm not sad.

I just see a laughing villain, which makes me...

"A laughing villain"? You can even say these words?!

Even though this law firm was created by

your father and my mentor, Lawyer Tian Zhen,

but get your head straight. Who's in charge of the law firm now?

It's me, Bai Chong Guang!

Who's the one giving you a salary so you can buy those sneakers?

Me! Who's paying for the electricity and water bill?

Me. Who's paying for the phone bills?

Me! Get your head straight.

This is basic respect. Respect!

Forget it. I won't argue with a hobbit like you.

Lai Wen Fang and Wu Jing Tao will arrive shortly.

I bet Mai Da Qi

isn't going to show up.

Miss Zhang, don't worry. You have me.

Sigh!

What are you sighing for?

Don't sigh.

They're here.

Hello. You are here today

as you are planning to apologize,

or to negotiate for a settlement?

Are you joking?

We came in person because we're too lazy to mail out the legal letter,

but mainly we want to see Wan Ting.

Lawyer Wu,

you're a lawyer who has seen it all.

So I'm sure you would've known since the beginning that you'll surely lose this case.

Miss Zhang, I strongly advise you to drop the lawsuit,

before you ruin your reputation.

That's not possible.

You can leave from where you came in.

Lawyer Bai, you should be persuading your client.

You're aware of my existence now?

Okay, on behalf of my client,

I'll let you know now that

there is no way we are dropping the lawsuit!

Very good. You have a firm attitude.

Then we won't go easy on you.

For the sake of Huaya Entertainment's reputation and rights,

I speak on behalf of my client, Ms Lai Wen Fang, that

we will countersue Miss Zhang WanTing for breaking her contract.

According to the first point of clause 21 in the contract,

Miss Zhang's unsightly behavior has damaged the reputations of the investors.

She needs to compensate for those damages.

But the contents of that contract never required that

I had to eat, drink, and sleep with rich men.

The open audition event cost a total of NT$7.5 million.

The subsequent loss is hard to estimate.

The investors have the right to request compensation from you.

The compensation will be double the cost of the event, which is NT$15 million.

NT$15 million? Are you kidding me?

Compensation? It's more like extortion.

Seeking for compensation is my client's right.

Unless you drop the lawsuit, I will go to court immediately and countersue.

Wan Ting,

stop wasting your time.

Can't you tell that this law firm is about to close down?

Asking them to help you is basically no different

from directly accepting defeat.

Ms Lan Wu Deng, you sure know how to speak.

You don't even swear when you're cursing.

However, whoever wins or loses

this case is still unknown.

Lawyer Mai, are you agreeing to accept this case?

Why is Zhenlu Law Firm like a wet market?

- Long time no see, classmate.
- You two are classmates?

Yeah, but reminiscing would've been better than an encounter.

Invective, just like the old days.

So when do you plan on returning the contract fee to her?

- You're really planning to take on this case?
- I'm still thinking about it.

Don't think about it, you are already here.

You decide if I take on this case.

Me? How so?

I just don't want you to lose too badly.

You should worry about yourself.

Zhang Wan Ting, let me ask you one last time,

if you're going to withdraw or not.

Manager Lai Wen Fang,

this will be my last time answering this.

Not only I won't withdraw, I will go through this lawsuit to the end.

I know you have always been hardworking.

You have to work many jobs

to barely make a living in Taipei.

So I recommend you to find a better calculator

and solve this again.

How many jobs will you have to work,

how many years without food and drinks,

so you would be able to repay $15 million.

Let's go, Lawyer Wu.

Who is that Mai Da Qi? So arrogant.

He was my law school classmate.

We were the only two from our class who received our license right after graduating.

So he's somewhat capable?

Four years ago, he won a case.

He just got lucky.

Later, he vanished and no one knew where he went.

Simply put, he's just a deserter.

It sounds like he doesn't have a lot of experience.

Some licenses are used just for decorative purposes.

It's all a bluff. Just putting on an act.

Don't worry, he's not my opponent.

Did you know he was going to come today?

No.

How did you convince him?

How would I know?

Hurry, hurry.

It's done!

[Zhenlu Law Firm]

Lawyer Mai, I've heard about you for a long time. I'll entrust you with my case.

Miss Zhang, why did you participate in this audition event?

- I wanted to—
- If it was just to act,

then you shouldn't have attended that celebration feast and give others the opportunity to take advantage of you, right?

What do you mean?

You don't seem like a brainless woman.

Here, is quite clear.

Even if you're not knowledgeable, you at least have common sense.

Did you not know why the investors

held this event in the middle of the night?

Or did you want to use this opportunity to find a rich man,

so you can marry into a rich family,

so you won't need to live a tough life like you did?

Lawyer Mai, what are you uttering non-sense?

I'm probably right.

That celebration feast was a trap.

Were you completely unaware of it?

I really wasn't aware.

Did you not think about it at all or did you pretend not to know?

Don't fake it anymore. Many actresses attend those type of events

so they can shoot to stardom.

Just admit it.

Did you come here today just to humiliate me?

Lawyer Mai, what are you saying? Miss Zhang isn't this type of person.

- Don't you talk to my client with this kind of attitude!
- Miss Zhang!

You still haven't answered my question.

What was your motive for attending this audition? You still haven't told me.

Otherwise I'm afraid I'm just wasting my time.

Wouldn't it suck if we find out halfway through the lawsuit that you poured juice on someone

just because you couldn't agree on the price?

Please shut up.

Or that Director Wang with NT$1.3 billion assets whom you poured juice on,

was not your type, and your target was Director Liu with NT$5 billion,

so you didn't feel good about how could a person with NT$1.3 billion touch you?

If he was Director Liu with NT$5 billion then it would have been okay.

Otherwise why would you enter his room?

That's enough.

How could there possibly be someone like you?

I don't need someone like you to defend my case.

Miss Zhang.

Lawyer Mai, what the heck are you doing?

Miss Zhang!

Don't be mad Miss Zhang!

Miss Zhang!

Don't be mad Miss Zhang!

Please don't be mad, I'll go get back the justice for you, I'll reason with him.

But now isn't the time to let your emotions get the best of you.

It wasn't easy to get him here. Only with him we do have a chance to win this case.

Win this case?

You saw yourself.

He didn't even believe me. Then how can he defend me?

I know. He's unpredictable and speaks offensively,

but he really is a great lawyer. Believe me!

Yu Xin, Yu Xin.

Yes, I was the one that asked you to find Lawyer Mai.

But after going through that just now, I really regret it.

Forget what kind of genius lawyer he is.

Right now, I just think he's a...

b*stard.

Miss Zhang!

Is there something wrong with your brain?

Who speaks to their client like that?

Our clients put food on our tables and clothes on our bodies.

On top of that, our client is a pretty and classy woman.

It's fine if you don't want to take on this case.

You can leave. I'll take care of it on my own.

W-What are you doing?

Lawyer Mai, I asked you to come here because

I wanted you to help Zhang Wan Ting's case, not—

My bento!
[lunch box]

It's very delicious, totally my flavors.

My mom's loved bento box...

She cooks very well, give her a like.

Saliva! There's saliva on here.

I may not be a decent person, but did you guys do your homework?

Can you wash these chopsticks for me?

Did you do your research before taking Zhang Wan Ting's case?

Of course!

Hey not only that, even here there's saliva—

Then let me ask you this.

Zhang WanTing claimed she was framed. Is that true?

Of course!

She's so elegant and pretty, how could she lie?

Hey, can you give me another bento? I'm very poor these days,

- so—
- Shut up!
- Shut up!

According to Clause 11 in the Ethics of Law,

the lawyers shouldn't only focus on winning or losing, and ignore the facts.

We can believe the client's testimony, but as lawyers,

we should be responsible for finding the truth.

So have you verified Zhang Wan Ting's testimony?

So that means no?

D-Did I say that?

So you didn't question either she lied or hid,

or what was her motive or even attitude?

Hold on.

This is my law firm.

Why are you questioning me like a judge?

Why should I answer you? Why should I answer him?

All of the questions I've just asked Miss Zhang are

possible questions asked by the other party. So are you guys really,

really prepared?

Bye.

My bento...

Tian Yu Xin, can you not talk about your bento right now?

Hold this!

How much do you want for the bento?

NT$100, NT$150, or NT$200? Tell me.

Actually I've verified everything already.

I've looked into Zhang Wan Ting based on the basic information that she gave.

I've also cross-checked everything she claimed.

I can guarantee that she did not lie.

Look.

I visited her elementary school, high school, and college.

I interviewed her teachers and even classmates that had a crush on her.

I interviewed them all.

I recorded their testimony too.

Up to now, I have found nothing bad on Zhang Wan Ting.

Nothing!

What are you looking at?

- Did you rent this office?
- Yeah.

So Lawyer Bai has to pay for the rent and your salary?

Otherwise?

How many cases did you have last month?

Two months ago, we helped someone write up a divorce...

agreement.

I think you guys are going bankrupt soon.

We won't if we win the audition case.

If we win.

We'll win with you here.

I didn't say I was going to take on this case.

I don't care. You're here. You have to take this case.

Wait!

Which elementary school did Zhang WanTing attend?

- Zhong Xiao.
- Middle school?

- Ren Ai.
- College?

- NTUA Department of Theatricals.
- Orphanage?

- Huh?
- Or-pha-nage.

What orphanage? There is no such question.

You're hardworking, but hardworking alone isn't enough.

Huh?

Hey! What orphanage?!

You found info on an orphanage?!

Hi, come take a look. We have new arrivals.

Come take a look.

I just received that today.

- You can pair that up with this.
- Is that her?

It's that Zhang Wan Ting.

Thank you.

You're welcome to browse. We just received new items.

I don't have anything you'll need. These are all women's clothes.

Zhang Wan Ting. Father Zhang Yong Jian, Mother Liu Yuan Na.

Your parents divorced when you were young and your mom remarried.

Your father won custody of you.

Later, your father was framed for murder

and you were sent to an orphanage where you grew up.

After graduation, you spent two years at a theater company.

After quitting, you started doing part-time work.

Barista, hot pot, breakfast eateries, phone marketer, tour guide,

and also street stalls.

You did a private investigation on me.

Just to prove I'm a money-grabbing and shallow woman?

Everything costs money. It's normal to be money-loving.

The question is whether or not you would sell your soul for money.

You still haven't told me, why you participated in the audition?

Police! Everyone leave now!

Hurry! This way, this way!

That way, that way!

This way!

Hey!

Having a street stall... a street stall is too difficult.

Oh my goodness.

It won't be so tiring once I have money.

You're right.

I participated in the audition for money.

Because just the signing bonus of NT$1 million (~US$35,440)

is worth a few years of my salary.

If I win, I can open my own coffee shop.

If you can get Director Liu with NT$5 billion (~US$177.2 million),

isn't that even better?

Are you here to continue to humiliate me?

Director Liu is notorious for his h*rniness.

Don't tell me he didn't want you, the winner of the audition?

Yes, he did.

You weren't tempted?

Should I be tempted?

Shouldn't you?

Okay.

You're right.

How could I let go of someone with NT$5 billion?

I just don't understand what Lai Wen Fang was thinking.

She made me sit next to

Director Huang with NT$1.3 billion.

Did she look down on me?

I only poured juice on him.

It's better than pouring gasoline and setting him aflame.

So that time when I traveled down south for the movie promotion,

I obviously knew that that room was Director Liu's.

♫ Great, great, you laughed ♫

♫ I still remember the first time I met you ♫

So that time when I traveled down south for the movie promotion,

I obviously knew that that room was Director Liu's.

Otherwise why would I go?

It's just that what was supposed to happen didn't happen. And what was not supposed to happen, happened.

Mai Da Qi, the one who went into the wrong room wasn't me.

It was that laughable Mrs. Liu.

I'm sure you're not a brainless man.

Is this the answer you've been looking for, Great Master Lawyer Mai?

This is what you thought it ought to be,

that this is the character I must have.

Men... men. You guys are really bad.

In your eyes, I'm just some type of woman you think I am,

and what I actually am.

What you want to prove now,

is the person you think I am, but not actually me.

Now, are you happy?

You can leave.

I am also not the type of man you think I am.

As for what type of man I am, and what type of woman you are,

you'll see tomorrow.

Hello, I'm Mai Da Qi, your appointed lawyer.

I'll see you at the law firm tomorrow.

I didn't say yes!

Tomorrow at 10 am!

I'm sorry.

You don't need to be sorry. It's okay. It's okay.

Let me tell you. Let's postpone the issue of pay raise for this month.

What are you groaning for? Think.

Miss Zhang is the only case in these years, the only case,

that isn't a divorce case.

And the only client with some fame.

And now after what Mai Da Qi has done, we have nothing.

It's not like that. I didn't know Mai Da Qi would say those things.

This Mai Da Qi is really...

Yu Xin.

- Lawyer Bai.
- Miss Zhang!

Miss Zhang, I knew you would come back.

I'm so sorry about yesterday. Sorry.

Don't be sorry. Miss Zhang doesn't have much experience in lawsuit.

I told you before that Mai Da Qi wasn't a good person.

But someone who just wanted to mess around.

But it's fine as long as you learn from your mistakes.

Miss Zhang, don't be upset.

This Mai Da Qi, who's a b*stard—

Who's a b*stard?

Mai Da...

Lawyer Mai.

Why are you here again?

The fact that Miss Zhang is still willing to entrust herself to you dejected people is unbelievable.

Let's move.

You told Miss Zhang those things yesterday,

and now you're here at our office making irresponsible remarks. Does this make sense?

Lawyer Bai, thank you for standing up for me.

No problem.

But, it was Lawyer Mai who asked me to come.

Let me tell you, this guy absolutely doesn't have any good intention.

That's why I also want to hear what he has to say.

Is that okay?

Turn on the TV.

Huh? Oh.

Wait. Don't turn it on!

Don't turn it on.

Are you my assistant or his assistant?

Are you guys done fighting? Can I start?

Start what?

This is what my friend recorded.

Miss Zhang, do you recognize him?

He's Director Liu with NT$5 billion.

Liu Yan Chang, Hele Group's director.

Come, come. Let's drink together.

Director Liu.

You really are controlled by your wife.

Yes I know. I'm almost getting tracheitis from her.
(T/N: homophone of being controlled by wife)

Tracheitis, tracheitis, haha.

Let me tell you, tracheitis is nothing.

That Zhang Wan Ting

is really overboard.

She made me so mad!

What do you mean?

I get mad just talking about her.

At the celebration banquet, I just put my hand on her back.

Not only she pushed my hand away,

she even injured me with her nails.

Look. Look.

That woman is so immature.

Seriously, we've been in business for decades and we're getting pushed around by this girl.

- That's too overboard.
- You have to get it back.

She's the winner of the audition.

- That night, she should've been assigned to me.
- That's right!

Woah! The sound was recorded so clearly.

Who recorded this?

My friend.

Were you the one who injured Director Liu's wrist?

- Yes.
- Then how come you never mentioned it?

Do I need to tell you this?

There's a key phrase in the recording. Tell me now, what is it?

Key phrase?

I know.

The winner of the audition was assigned to Director Liu.

Bingo.

I don't understand. What does that mean?

It means that between the three directors,

whoever has the most money will...

Will what?

Will have the 1st place winner. The second richest will have the 2nd place winner and so on.

Zi Juan is drinking too little.

Her alcohol tolerance is good. I can just tell.

Of course you have to drink more with Director Cai.

That celebratory banquet was like a human market.

Lai Wen Fang wanted to give Miss Zhang to Director Liu, who had the most money.

But Miss Zhang didn't know her place, so that's why she gave 2nd place He Yi Chun to Director Liu instead.

It's okay if you get drunk.

Our Director Wang

won't make fun of you.

Just go away if you make fun of yourself, right?

Let's find time for the next banquet.

If I guessed it correctly, every open audition of Huaya Entertainment is just one large human market one after another.

The goal is to find women for those rich men.

Human market?

That's right.

But Lawyer Mai, your friend invaded their rights of privacy by recording this,

and thus can't be used as evidence in court.

Don't worry, I understand this principle.

I must apologize to Miss Zhang.

I naturally assumed that Miss Zhang was like other women,

who joined the audition just to climb the ranks. But I was wrong.

I want to apologize for my assumptions yesterday.

I accept your apologies.

Thanks.

Please take a seat. Yu Xin.

- Please take a seat.
- Over here, Miss Zhang.

P-Please?

Lawyer Bai, please take a seat.

Fine, let's sit.

Not this one, the chairman position.

Chairman, right.

Chairman, ok.

There is something I would like to discuss with you, Lawyer Bai.

Call me Chairman Bai today. Let me act as a Chairman.

- Can Tian Yu Xin temporarily support me?
- Huh?

Yes, of course!

- Hey, I haven't agreed yet.
- You can't say no.

Actually, there is another difficult mission.

I'm certain that with the unspoken rules agreed upon with the investors,

there are definitely other girls who have been forced to use the casting couch.

- So you mean to say there are more victims?
- Yes.

So we need to find more witnesses. The more the better.

The more the better?

So you want to find everyone who has participated in the competitions?

Oh please. That is so troublesome. In the end, you will only tire yourself out.

As a Chairman, you will need to utilize your many capabilities exhaustively.

But because those girls don't know you at all, so it's best if Miss Zhang goes along with you to visit them one by one.

Is that fine with you, Miss Zhang?

Yes. I would be happy to.

I would be happy to do as well. How about this?

Since it's urgent, let's do this.

- Let's meet up here tomorrow at 9 am.
- Sure.

You don't drive, right? I'll pick you up!

[Zhenlu Law Firm]

This is Xiao Ke, my friend.

- Hello. I'm Tian Yu Xin.
- We've actually met before.

- I know. You came here to pick up Lawyer Mai last time.
- No.

- Let's go. Get in the car.
- That—

Let's go.

- Xiao Ke, is this your car?
- It's Brother Da Qi's.

Then why doesn't he drive?

He... He can't drive.

Does he not have a license? If you don't have a license, why buy a car?

We can go.

You talk too much.

Not you. The one sitting behind us.

Lawyer Mai, even though Lawyer Bai can be a bit ditsy, he's a nice person.

- I get it.
- Even though he has a lot of faults,

for example, he's petty, narrow-minded, greedy, and forgets loyalty when in love.

But he's just all talk and no action.

I understand.

Based on his withered spirit, he's unable to do anything bad.

This is great. Now that you're on our team, we'll definitely win this case.

Congratulations to you two.

To the two of you? That's not right.

After you join, it becomes "us".

"You" becomes "'us".

It's "us".

Do you understand? With you and me, that's "us".

[Wu Jing Tao]

What's up?

Classmate, I'm not looking down on you guys.

But you guys really don't have a chance.

Is that right?

To maintain your record of one victory, I advise you to not get into muddy waters.

Which one do you think is better, 78% or 90%?

What?

The cocoa content in chocolate, which one is better?

It seems you haven't changed your bad habit of snacking.

Cut the nonsense. 78% or 90%, which one?

78%. I like it sweeter.

Sweeter is better. The sugar can help with your depression.

I don't have depression.

Soon you will.

I'll gift you a bar when you lose the case.

Okay?

Lawyer Mai, let me ask you.

Why did you buy chocolate, nuts, and spicy snacks?

You're interfering too much.

Are you buying all these to hold a party at the law firm?

I don't like places with a lot of people.

- Are you going to gift these?
- Why should I?

No way! You're going to eat these yourself?

You're interfering too much. It's none of your business.

Thank you.

Wow. Wow!

How did you do that?

Let me try.

- What are you doing?
- Isn't that how you do it?

The trunk has a sensor.

You need to have the key on you and

wave your foot gently under the bumper.

You don't have to touch the car, and it will open automatically.

- Wow. That's high tech.
- Isn't it cool?

Amazing.

Let's get in the car.

- I'm here again!
- Why is it you again?

- Welcome to Cool Talk King's broadcast station!
- Stop filming.

I heard that Great Master Lawyer Mai took on Zhang Wan Ting's case.

- Stop filming!
- Do you want to give us your thoughts?
- What are you doing?

- No comment.
- Hold on!

This time I wore the protection gear.

So I'm not afraid of you anymore!

- Go away!
- Great Master Lawyer Mai, what will be your next move?

Scram.

My hand!

You deserved it.

My hand!

You better remember this...

So you actually learned martial arts before?

Does this count as learning?

I just learned some judo when I was younger.

And then I learned Taichi, Taekwondo, and Karate.

My mom recently encouraged me to sign up for

- Bajiquan (T/N: another form of martial arts). Have you heard of it?
- No.

Let me tell you, I looked it up online.

This Bajiquan can cause death with one move.

For example, you can use a hand knife strike to chop the trachea,

or you can use the elbow to knock the head.

Your mom is really someone worth admiring.

A lot of people have said that.

Do you know how to take photographs?

Take photographs?

That's easy. What are we taking photos of?

The landscape, leaves, streets.

Miss Zhang, what a coincidence that I bumped into you here.

Lawyer Bai has told me before

that without his permission, you can't meet with me in private.

I'm not looking for you. The world is small, so I accidentally bumped into you.

Don't be nervous. Let me help you.

No need. No need.

Do you really want to pursue this lawsuit?

That will only cause you more harm.

Stop. I really don't want to talk to you.

And that Mai Da Qi. Are you sure he's okay?

So you came looking for me just to complain to me about my lawyer?

Mai Da Qi and I were classmates. I know what kind of person he is better than you do.

Then Lawyer Wu, what kind of person are you?

Can't you see that Lai Wen Fang is lying?

Director Lai is my client.

There's an absolute trusting relationship between a lawyer and his client.

So if Director Lai lies, you're going to lie with her.

The truth is that you behaved improperly.

The truth is that Lai Wen Fang set me up,

just because I refused to drink and sleep with the director.

That's just your side of the story.

The 2nd place winner Miss He Yi Chun told me there was no such thing.

I don't know how you guys bribed her.

The truth is priceless. There was no bribe.

Okay, that's fine.

Once I find other competitors willing to present in court,

you will find out what the truth is.

Other competitors?

Lawyer Wu, you didn't think that I was the only one who experienced this, right?

♫ Great, great, you laughed ♫

♫ I still remember the first time I met you ♫

That's fine.

Once I find other competitors willing to present in court,

you will find out what the truth is.

Other competitors?

Lawyer Wu, you didn't think

that I was the only one who experienced this, right?

- Prior to the audition, I knew there would be some unspoken rules.
- Is that right?

Rita and I were taken to the dinner, right?

But we just had a meal that day. Nothing really happened.

Are you sure they didn't try to touch you or hold your hands?

Anything that made you feel uncomfortable?

It was only briefly.

It was nothing.

I didn't encounter any unreasonable treatment.

But I did hear someone was taken to a room.

What do you mean it was nothing? If they did these things,

that means they violated your rights and forced you to do something you didn't want to do.

Then what else could I do?

If I didn't go along with it, then I would get eliminated.

You went along with it, but you were eliminated anyway.

Who was it?

I only heard about it.

That's fine. Just tell me everything you heard.

I'll take care of the rest.

Director Lai's lawyer once reminded me that

I should keep a distance from you guys or I'll be sued too.

- Director Lai's lawyer... you mean Lawyer Wu Jing Tao?
- Yes.

- So Lawyer Wu Jing Tao approached you before?
- Yes.

And he warned you too?

It's not really a warning just...

Lawyer Wu wants me to be careful of what I say.

Th-Th-That's a warning.

Miss Chen, are you willing to collaborate with us to testify?

Wan Ting, I really want to help but...

But I don't have the guts to.

To be honest, I'm afraid too.

Wan Ting, I'm sorry.

I'm still in school. I can't be involved in a lawsuit.

Wan Ting, I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

I'm leaving now. Take care of yourself.

You said Wu Jing Tao spoke to them?

Yeah. This is too despicable.

Wu Jing Tao is a villain that'll do whatever it takes.

I'm sorry.

If I wasn't so impulsive and accidentally spilled the beans,

they wouldn't be a step ahead of us.

Don't apologize. It's not your fault.

You're too kind. Wu Jing Tao

is too despicable and cunning.

Then Lawyer Mai and Lawyer Bai,

what should we do now?

We've asked so many people, but no one is willing to testify at court.

But our hearing is tomorrow.

We might suffer a hard hit tomorrow.

Lawyer Mai, do you have any ideas?

He ran outside.

He probably has no ideas too.

- Hello?
- Tian Yu Xin, where are you?

I'm taking a stroll.

Taking a stroll?

Are you kidding me? It's urgent, you're still in a mood for a stroll?

Lawyer Mai asked me to. What's up?

What's up?!

Are you kidding me? Lawyer Mai asked you to take a stroll?

We need to clear this up.

Whose assistant are you?

You're my assistant!

Who pays your salary? I do!

Mai Da Qi told you to take a stroll. Will you jump off a building if Mai Da Qi asked you to?

Come back! You betraying girl! Come back now!

Hey! Tian Yu Xin—

She hung up on me.

She...

You don't seem worried at all.

It's been awhile since you went to the theater.

I took some time off.

I don't want people looking at me with a strange gaze.

You still haven't answered me.

Leaf veins, the blood vessels of the leaf,

are like a map full of roads.

The law isn't always justice.

Just like these clogged up leaf veins.

Nature always has a way for it to revive.

Lawyer Mai, you thought of an idea?

Stand up from where you fall.

Manager Lai Wen Fang's assistant, Xiao Luo, was the one that handed me the hotel key card that day.

I had no idea that was Director Liu's room.

Later, I realized I must've offended them during that celebration feast,

so they set up a trap for me.

Miss Zhang, what gives you the right to say that entering Director Liu's room

was a trap set up by Ms. Lai Wen Fang?

Do you have any evidence?

I don't.

Since you don't have any evidence, you took a guess?

It's a logical deduction.

I don't care if it's deduction or guess, if you don't have evidence, then you are randomly blaming people.

You showed up in Director Liu's room without a reason and got caught by Mrs. Liu.

Originally, my client, Ms. Lai Wen Fang did not plan to investigate into such an improper conduct,

as long as you returned the signing bonus, things would have been settled.

But who knew you'd get so angry and take it out on Ms Lai.

Now let me show you what proper evidence is. You may return to your seat.

Presiding Judge, now I would like to summon my client, Ms Lai Wen Fang,

and a few other key witnesses to court.

I didn't set up any traps.

This is all nonsense coming from Zhang Wan Ting.

Was it not you that asked Assistant Xiao Luo to hand the key card to Miss Zhang?

Of course not.

- I handed Zhang Wan Ting the hotel card.
- Then please tell me who told you to do so?

Was it Ms. Lai Wen Fang?

No.

Miss Zhang Wan Ting asked for it herself.

Zhang Wan Ting said she wanted to give a gift to Director Liu.

She wanted to give him a surprise, but I didn't think she had other motive in mind.

Why are you in my husband's room?! Speak!

- This is my room.
- Your room? How dare you say this?!

Where's the closet? Come with me.

Come here and look.

Come here and look!

This is my husband's suitcase.

This is his clothes. There's my husband's name on the sleeve. Do you see it clearly?!

You dare say that this is your name?!

You shameless woman!

You despicable homewrecker!

Come, take a clear shot of her!

I want everyone to see this face that seduced my husband!

She is a homewrecker!

How dare you, to seduce my husband!

Is your room here?!

Don't cover your face, let everyone see it clearly!

It's her!

This is how you won the first place, do you understand?

Stop filming!

- I'm going to kill you!
- Who are you?!

Presiding Judge. This is proof of Zhang Wan Ting's improper conduct.

Director Liu Yan Chang is the biggest investor in this movie.

He does a lot of philanthropy work and is always looking to help others.

On the seventh of October, for the promotion event,

Mrs. Liu arrived at the Nanto Hotel in advance.

She didn't expect Zhang Wan Ting to appear in Director Liu's room.

This matter even shocked Miss He Yi Chun, who was also on scene that day.

Let me ask. Are you Miss He Yi Chun, who won the second place in the open audition?

Yes. But now I am the first place and the female lead.

Then, were you the one that filmed the video?

Yes. That day I was accompanying Mrs. Liu to Director Liu's room to rest.

We didn't expect that Zhang Wan Ting was already inside.

Mrs. Liu was so angry, I felt sorry for her.

Then do you know how Zhang Wan Ting got into Director Liu's room?

I heard from Manager Lai that she tricked Assistant Luo into giving her the room key.

She said that she wanted to leave a little present in Director Liu's room to surprise him.

I never would expect that the little present was actually herself.

Miss He, then let me ask, were you at the celebration feast?

I was there.

Then please tell everyone what happened that night.

Let me introduce you to our company's three biggest shareholders.

Hello.

- I remember everything was fine in the beginning.
- Here, eat some crabs.

But then I don't know why later on the situation just got worse.

Really? How so?

I saw Zhang Wan Ting kept feeding CEO Huang Dong cup after cup.

Cheers, Director Huang.

I'm not drinking today.

Drink a little...

Drink a little.

♫ Great, great, you laughed ♫

♫ I still remember the first time I met you ♫

I saw Zhang Wan Ting kept feeding CEO Huang Dong cup after cup.

Poor Director Huang wanted to say no,

but Zhang Wan Ting just wouldn't let him go.

Cheers, Director Huang.

I'm not drinking today.

Drink a little...

Drink a little.

Then what happened afterward?

Director Huang is too kind and has a lot of self-control.

- So he wanted to leave early.
- Please don't do this.

Aren't you being too dramatic?

You're making me look bad.

I couldn't believe Zhang Wan Ting suddenly turned hostile.

She took the juice on the table and poured it at him. Everyone was shocked.

We all thought she was so odd.

Thank you, Miss He.

Presiding Judge.

My party reasonably suspects that Zhang Wan Ting joined the audition in order to

gain self-benefits with other motives.

No matter if it's purposefully trying to seduce Director Huang or

- going into Director Liu's room, her main goal is to seduce them.
- Objection.

Objection! Presiding Judge!

Please tell the defendant's lawyer to stop continuing to say slanderous words about my client.

Slander? It showed in the video, yet you call it slander?

Miss Zhang was framed.

Zhang Wan Ting is a female hunter.

She keeps searching for rich men to prey on.

Based on the video and testimony that Miss He has provided,

it is because Zhang Wan Ting's improper conduct broke the contract,

that's why my client Ms. Lai Wen Fang had no choice but to disqualify her to be the female lead

and also to take back the $1 million signing bonus.

Who is at fault is very clear in this case.

I would ask the Presiding Judge to judge fairly.

Does the plaintiff have anything to say?

Miss He Ye Chun, do you know that gentleman?

Of course, he is Director Huang. He is also an investor for this movie.

How many times have you met him?

Twice. The first time at the Opening Ceremony of the audition, and the other time at the Celebration Banquet.

- Only twice?
- Of course.

Okay, thank you.

- That's it?
- That's it.

Mr. Huang Bai Wan, how many times have you met He Ye Chun?

Two times. Once at the Opening Ceremony and once at the Celebration Banquet.

- So you're saying that you haven't met with her at any other place?
- Yes.

- Not even once?
- Of course.

That's strange.

[Taipei District Court]

May I ask

what this is?

I remember now. There was a third time.

I met coincidentally with Miss He on the streets.

Was it a coincidence, Miss He?

Yes. It really was a coincidence that day.

Your Honor, he can't cross-examine a witness who has left the witness stand.

I'm just asking a question, why so stingy?

My point is that it doesn't matter how many times these two have met before because it's not related to the case at all.

Do you want to look at this and then speak?

Come.

This. This.

Who filmed these?

Your Honor, the audition and incident involving my client Miss Zhang Wan Ting

has been a giant lie.

What lie?

I'm still investigating that. However, these four photos have already proven that these two witnesses have been lying.

Your Honor, I'd like to get your permission to prove that the testimonies of the defendant's witnesses are nonsense.

I won't allow them to smear my client.

- Presiding Judge...
- I agree.

If it's ready then show it.

Please play the first two videos, thanks.

[Defendants]

What's going on?

We'll know when we watch it.

[Presiding Judge]

Which genius took this?

Do I still need to explain? Miss He and Director Huang,

which meet-up did the video capture?

The fourth time? Tenth time? Ninth time?

- It wasn't that many times!
- Okay, understood.

I'm for real. I promise!

Okay. You're right in whatever you say.

In any case, what you do in your private lives is not our business. What you lie about is also not our business.

But the point is, why did you lie?

I don't want to lie.

But I'm married.

I can't go public with these kinds of activities.

Miss He and I are innocent!

Awesome! Let's see how innocent you guys are. Please play the third video.

[Presiding Judge]

CEO Huang, why did you guys go to this place?

Is it just for plain conversation?

Actually, I wanted to spare you a little but because

you're lying so much to cover the truth, then what is the truth?

The truth is that you and Miss He became secret lovers after the auditions

and decided to smear my client.

Objection! This is excessive questioning.

No matter how many times Huang Dong and Miss He met, it has nothing to do with the actual case.

Who says there's no connection? Your Honor, I have to say that

this is a trail that is extremely unfair to the plaintiff

because all evidence and witnesses are controlled by the defendant. Thus, I have to point out

during the Celebration Banquet, the three finalists and three investors

met up, and one of the pairs successfully hooked up.

I strongly suspect that Lai Wen Fang used the auditions as a cover to conduct under-the-table transactions.

That is nonsense. A baseless accusation.

My client is counter-suing Lai Wen Fang because she didn't want to give in to her tactics.

I would ask the plaintiff to give evidence.

As Zhang Wan Ting said, Director Huang should count himself lucky

that she didn't pour oil on him and set him on fire.

It was pure coincidence that the glass of juice was nearby.

Presiding Judge, please stop him from saying unreasonable and baseless things.

Unexpectedly, the investors decided to set a trap for Zhang Wan Ting.

I ask the plaintiff to provide evidence.

Zhang Wan Ting had no clue that that was CEO Liu's room.

- The room card was given to her by Lai Wen Fang's assistant. That was a trap.
- Baseless accusation.

On behalf of my client, I accuse Lai Wen Fang of using the auditions as a cover

to conduct shady, under-the-table transactions.

That's enough. You two, be more proper.

Sure.

However, I strongly request that, because Miss He and Director Huang contradicted their earlier testimonies

and in light of their special relationship and motive for conspiring,

their testimonies should be struck from the court and not be used.

[Presiding Judge]

Lawyer Mai. Next time, you'll need to back up your accusations with evidence.

Also, it is direct evidence.

I agree. I hope Your Honor will give me sufficient time for that.

I approve the plaintiff's request.

Huang Bai Wan and He Ye Chun's testimonies are to be struck off.

[Plaintiff]

Opposing side, do you have any comments?

No comment.

- Cheers!
- Cheers!

I'm so happy! The opposing side wanted to use a witness to provoke us

but in court we fired back at them!

That witness was destroyed completely by us.

Let me tell you, Lawyer Mai and I are really birds of the same feather.

Such an incredibly genius strategy

can only be created by lawyers of our caliber.

Hey, Lawyer Mai. Your video was spectacular today!

Can you please introduce me to your paparazzo? We can use that person together next time!

You should already know who it is.

I know them?

Your assistant.

Tian Yu Xin? How is that possible?

You just walk around outside and dawdle.

Fishing in muddy waters.
(TN: This idiom refers to taking advantageous of a situation to gain profits.)

Do you know how to take pictures?

Take pictures?

That's easy. What do you need to take a picture of?

He's coming out.

Hello? Where are you?

Where are you?

Who's the one who pays your salary? Mai Da Qi or me?

If Mai Da Qi asks you to jump off a building

would you do it? Come back!

Hurry and come back!

How is it?

Pretty okay.

Then... overtime money.

Please tell your boss to stop snoring. It is morning right now.

Wake up! You're always sleeping.

- Tian Yu Xin, it was really you?
- Of course.

Very good! You make me proud.

You've proven that a great teacher produces a brilliant student.

I can't believe you managed to praise yourself.

I'm praising you.

- What are you doing? Be more sincere!
- Thanks.

Thanks!

Lawyer Mai, then what is our next step?

The road ahead is still very long.

We need to change perspectives and think about what the opposite side would do.

No need to think about it.

Next, they'll definitely be discussing settlements.

How is that possible?

OMG!

♫ Great, great, you laughed ♫

♫ I still remember the first time I met you ♫

No need to think.

Next, they'll definitely be discussing settlements.

How is that possible?

We already looked at everyone participating.

How could we have failed because of He Yi Chun?

She was the one we had the most faith in. Didn't you say Mai Da Qi was easy to handle?

Don't worry. This was just the first trial.

The important evidence is in our hands. That's clear.

I don't care what kind of personal grudge you have against him. Just end this trial quickly.

How about we arrange a settlement? Do we have a chance?

Do you believe me? In less than three seconds,

they will call begging for settlement!

Three, two, one.

OMG!

Isn't it? Isn't it? Aren't I amazing?

You're a god!

- Hello.
- Hi.

Hi. This is 369 Car Loans.

Do you have any vehicle or property you'd like to mortgage?

- Who is it?
- Someone you don't know.

Hello? Hello? Mister?

Hello?

Why do you want a settlement?

Actually I don't care about whether we settle. I just want them to admit defeat.

Director Huang has been brought down and I can't let the other investors go down with him.

There's no way Mai Da Qi will admit loss.

Do you know how much money he won in a trial four years ago?

He's won a trial?

1.5 billion USD.

A settlement is impossible.

Even if the opposing side wants it, Wu Jing Tao definitely will not comply.

How do you know?

Wu Jing Tao and I had the same mentor.

He knows my thoughts, and I know his.

We have to continue with our offence.

What do you mean?

I forwarded the pictures to you. Take a look.

Who was your savior?

Great job, everyone.

You're off work?

Mai Da Qi! Mai Da Qi!

You found someone to tail Mai Da Qi?

Lin Zi Juan?

Don't you think it's strange?

How did Mai Da Qi know that He Ye Chun and Director Huang had an affair?

Li Zi Yuan told him.

She sold me out.

You should ask her yourself.

Why don't you ask her?

Lawyers need to know how to protect their client, but even more, they need to know how to protect themselves.

I suggest you go find Lin Zi Juan as soon as possible

Anyway, I will take care of the legal side of things.

The rest is for you to deal with. I'll take my leave.

Why did Mai Da Qi accept my case?

In the beginning, didn't he have no interest whatsoever?

How come he would agree to it in the end?

Why would you ask this?

Aren't you curious?

It's simple.

Have you heard of the expression, "even a hero would fail a beauty's test".
(TN: Even a person with great self-control would fall prey to his desires.)

Beauty? Am I the beauty?

I wasn't talking about you, you hobbit!

I was talking about Ms. Zhang Wan Ting.

Yu Xin. Back then, it was you who found Mai Da Qi.

What did you say? How did you get him to accept?

I was also very curious about this question.

Back then, what magic did you use to trick that monster over here?

Magic?

What did I say?

So are you taking it or not?

Tell me why I should take this case.

Because I want a raise.

It's not because you have a sense of justice?

I can't eat justice.

- You told him you wanted a pay raise?
- Yes.

You even said that justice wasn't something you could eat?

Well, that's true.

Shame on you!

Look at your dad's picture.

Haven't you disappointed him? Look at my face.

How could you face me?

S-Shame on you!

What is today's date? I want to note it down.

I want to remember this shame you've brought me on every anniversary of today's date.

What are you doing? You're making such a big fuss.

Can't you just raise my pay?

How cruel!

What?

I think you're really cute.

Actually, the one I believe is you.

Not Lawyer Bai.

Why?

In general, I just believe in you.

Didn't I give every single one of them the chance to become a phoenix?
(TN: Chance to become great)

Why does everyone want to sell me out?

Big Sister, how can I help you?

Do as you always did. Save me.

You didn't have to send me home.

My house is so close...
