Original subtitles

It all started with the blood-bubble fruit.

People use the fruit for their own desires.

They don't know they're just being used as tools.

No one knows who he is.

But the hope he offers

is a sweet fruit too tempting to resist.

Those who eat it

will pay a heavy price.

(You're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. I've fallen for you.)

You hang out with that straggler all day.

You even skip class with her.

I sold our house

not for you to be a slacker here!

Haven't you seen her scores?

She doesn't care about her own future.

Do you want to end up as hopeless as her?

(What's wrong?)

(You don't feel well?)

(Sick?)

I'm fine, Dad.

Just exhausted.

(I know studying is tough.)

(Hang in there.)

(The year will fly by.)

I know.

It's just one year for me.

But you and Mom have worked hard your whole lives.

I don't know how to repay you.

(You don't need to repay us.)

(Just try to make something of yourself.)

(Your mom and I will be happy.)

Dad,

I'll get into med school.

Come outside.

What do you want?

Nothing.

Just wondering how crushed your parents would be

if you got expelled.

There's a way

neither of us gets expelled,

and you won't have to worry about that handkerchief.

What do you say?

Looking for something?

Need my help?

(What's wrong?)

(Want something different?)

(I'll try to find something else for meals.)

No need.

This is fine.

(Don't worry about the money.)

(Just study hard)

(and get into a good college.)

(Don't end up like us, )

(working our fingers to the bone.)

I looked everywhere.

No sign of the red fruit you talked about.

Trying to keep it all for yourself?

Don't forget

I still have something on you.

I really didn't find any.

I don't care. I need that thing.

Steal it, snatch it, whatever it takes. Bring it to me.

Eating that thing can really boost your scores

and get you into the elite class?

You're smarter than I thought, Chloe.

Bring me the fruit.

Maybe I'll share some with you.

This semester started months ago.

Where are the goods?

I'll give it to you the night after next.

But there's only one suitable target this time.

Among the expelled students,

only Shirley is poor.

Her family hasn't talked to their relatives in years.

Sir,

Chloe's hurt.

I'll take her back to the classroom.

Alright.

Everyone, keep running.

Hey, Chloe,

got anything?

Hurry up.

One moment.

I know you went through my stuff again.

But don't worry.

I won't tell Mr. Gao.

But this isn't over.

(Chloe Thief) (Her dad is a dummy.)

Look at this.

From Class 9, right?

So it wasn't just a rumor, huh?

Pathetic.

(Chloe Thief) (Her dad is a dummy.)

Where are you going?

Don't move, old man.

Where are you going?

What?

Don't want anyone to know what your daughter did?

Let go!

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

What?

Want something?

Speak!

Say something!

Can't speak?

Are you mute?

Pull him up...

Stuff it in his mouth.

Mute, huh?

Open up!

You don't need a mouth.

You don't need that, right?

Open your mouth.

You don't need your mouth anyway.

What are you doing?!

Let's go. Come on.

Dad.

Dad, are you okay?

Are you hurt?

What do you want?!

I stuffed it in his mouth, you see that?

Jade!

Stop right there, Jade!

Jade's gone too far.

Who does she think she is?

Let's tell Mr. Gao.

He'll punish them.

Enough.

Stay out of my business.

(Thief Liar Dummy's Daughter)

Chloe...

Chloe...

What are you going to do?

Hey, easy!

Calm down!

Stay out of it!

Chloe...

What are you here for?

Mr. Gao,

what kind of teacher are you?

Why is it always your students?

Chloe,

you've seriously violated the school rules.

You'll lose 50 points on the next mock exam.

You've already lost 50 points, Chloe.

Study harder,

or you'll get expelled after the next mock exam.

Anything not related to studying is forbidden here.

Remember Professor Kang's words.

Forget your useless complaints and grievances.

You really need to focus on studying now.

Work harder. Even harder.

I've been studying as hard as I can.

- But I... - No "buts" here.

Read the text once, twice,

three times if you have to.

Just keep reading and try to master it.

Have you given it your full effort?

Chloe, ask yourself. Have you?

Stop making excuses.

You're not working hard enough.

I sleep less than three hours a day.

I spend every spare minute studying.

But I still can't understand it.

I don't know what more I can do.

I'm just stupid.

Then use your sleep time to study.

They aren't any smarter than you are.

Once you get into the elite class,

changing your fate will be easy.

Have confidence in yourself.

Stop being so negative.

Jade? Jade?

Let me in, okay?

Don't come in here!

- But you... - Get lost!

Leave me alone!

You try to take mine every time.

Don't always...

John.

It should be mine!

John, just sell that spot to me.

No, no.

How much do you want?

NT$300,000. Sell it to me.

I'll pay NT$450,000.

I'll pay NT$500,000!

NT$600,000!

Stop it, you guys!

Jackie.

Jackie?

Jackie?

Jackie?

Jackie,

don't go up there.

You caused trouble, and this is your attitude?

Ridiculous.

You try to brush me off with trash like this?

You think I'm a beggar like you?

Get lost!

Out!

Chloe.

Jackie,

don't go.

Jade,

are you okay?

Don't worry.

Anyone who bullies you, I'll make them pay.

I'll make their lives a living hell.

Victoria?

Come help me with something.

What is it?

Don't ask questions. Just follow me.

Why so much rat poison?

This is so easy.

You're so beautiful.

Got you.

Give it to me.

Chloe, watch the door.

Too late to hide it.

Couldn't steal it, so you're gonna rob me?

I'll tell Mr. Gao. He'll dock your points.

Look at yourself.

You think threats scare me?

Besides, once I have that fruit,

I can get as many points as I want!

Give it to me!

Give it to me! Let go!

This exam was so hard.

Come on. The restroom.

Let's go.

Come on.

Did you see Jade's face?

- Yeah. - She still came today.

- I think it's disgusting. - Right?

Right. And Chloe always looks so timid.

I never knew she could be that crazy.

She actually poured glue on her head.

Jade's face was messed up.

She looked so hideous. Did you see that?

Yeah.

What are you doing?

Stop it!

Get a teacher.

Hurry!

Let go!

Chloe, come help!

Someone jumped!

Blood!

Who's that?

So much blood.

What happened?

Stay calm. I'll go check it out.

Excuse me.

Let go of me!

I want that fruit!

Give me!

Give me!

Move!

Stop looking.

Go home!

- Was she pushed or did she jump? - Move!

- Move! - Ms. Jiang.

Move!

Stop...

That's her daughter.

Hey, do you know anything about it?

Like, anyone she was on bad terms with?

Ms. He.

What happened?

It's Jade.

They say she jumped from the third-floor restroom.

Killed instantly.

How could this be?

Move.

Careful.

Don't touch my daughter!

Go away!

What happened?

Jade fell from the restroom window.

Not sure if it was an accident or suicide.

Nonsense!

Jade would never kill herself.

My baby girl would never kill herself.

How's it possible?

She would never.

She would never kill herself.

She would never kill herself.

She still has exams to take. She would never kill herself.

We've called the police.

They'll be here in a little while.

Please go sit down, okay?

Victoria.

Victoria.

Look.

Jade seems to be hurt.

She's hurt, right?

Victoria.

Victoria.

The ground is cold.

Get up now, okay?

The ground is cold.

Let's go home.

Come home with me.

Ms. Jiang, you can't take Jade away.

Come on. I'll carry you.

Mom.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It'll be fine.

I will protect you.

You'll be fine.

Jackie,

no matter what happens,

don't do anything stupid.

I will protect you.

Stop looking. Go home!

- Excuse me. - Stop looking.

- Don't look. - Tell them to go home.

Jun-hong, get up.

Get up.

Jun-hong, get up. Don't stay there.

Go away!

Jun-hong, what are you doing?!

Go!

Get up!

- Mr. Zhuang. - Let me help.

Jun-hong, let's go.

Come on.

Go.

Go away!

Jun-hong!

Leave me alone!

Hey! Are you crazy?

Go!

Got a lighter?

Here.

Guess studying drove her crazy.

Go check over there.

The scene was ruined,

and the body was moved.

You know this will make things more complicated.

Nobody wants that to happen, Mr. Qiu.

That student's mother insisted on taking her.

What could we do?

Right?

Here.

I'll make it up to you sometime.

Well.

I'll go back with my guys first

and get the stories straight.

Stay in touch.

I'll walk you out.

Don't let this get out of hand.

If overlooked students or parents go missing,

I can take care of it.

But now, the ambulance is on its way.

I can't sweep this under the rug.

Sorry for troubling you.

Alright. Next time something happens,

you know the drill.

Sure, of course.

Stay in touch.

No!

Jade!

Jade!

Jade!

Anyone know you're here?

No.

Professor Kang told us this...

Come with me.

This is...
