Original subtitles

The legal procedures in this show are fictional.

Any resemblance to actual events is purely coincidental.

You are my evidence.

Even if I testify, I'd be targeted and attacked.

You decide if you want to step forward.

You're too lenient!

That's why so many kids have suffered!

Hey kid, do you want a lollipop?

Say thank you.

What a lovely kid. What’s your name?

He's Hao-hao.

Hao-hao?

Hey, little cutie.

What’s your name?

I'm An-kai.

An-kai, would you like some sweets?

No.

Have you had enough food today?

-Yes. -What did you have for lunch?

-Did you see anything? -What are you doing? Who are you?

I’m...

I’m with him.

How long have you attended here?

About one semester.

I heard that it’s well-rated.

It is indeed.

But...

Have you heard anything out of the ordinary?

Are you Liang-liang’s parent?

An-kai, let’s go.

Like halfway through lunch,

they'd start playing hide and seek.

Hide and seek?

Mr. Liu.

You’re early today.

Liang-liang has talent class today.

Weren’t you notified?

No.

You are...

Are you Liang-liang’s parent?

I am.

Take this back!

Let’s go home.

What was that for?

Let me put it this way.

I’m worried that this place has an over-enrollment issue.

The headmaster told me

that some parents deliberately start rumors!

They scare off other parents

so their kids can enroll.

Enough talking.

Yuan-yuan! Let’s go home.

Why are you all sweaty?

Would you like to wait for a bit?

Sure.

Do you want some?

No, thank you. I’ll get on with my work.

-Go ahead. -Okay.

Are you alright?

Yes...

-I'm alright. -Are you sure?

Ms. Wen-xin.

The school bus is leaving.

Okay.

You’re early today, Mr. Liu.

It’s not like I’ve got better things to do.

They teach and ride the school bus with students.

Do they also need to cook and clean?

She's new.

She needs to familiarize herself with things.

Mr. Liu, it’s really sunny today.

If you don’t mind,

you can move over to the shades.

I’m alright. I like the sun.

I need Vitamin D.

Alright, enjoy the sun.

-I will excuse myself. -Yes, you do that.

You do that.

I really don’t get it.

You’re notorious even at kindergartens.

People heard your name and they freaked out.

Eat your food. Aren’t you tired?

Not at all.

I usually go to dozen of places daily.

Today was an easy one.

And we’re doing this for the kids.

Of course I’m not tired.

I really do envy you.

Fortune favors fools.

What?

Is your life miserable or something?

Mr. Liu, I think I can testify.

Defendant

As a parent,

spending all that money for my kid to go to kindergarten,

I would expect a safe and healthy environment.

But at Sunshine Kindergarten,

nothing is like what’s stated in the contracts.

This is what they’re feeding the kids.

Can you tolerate that?

My client provides customized education.

They offer the kids complete respect.

They encourage kids to eat the amount they want.

If the kids were hungry,

it’s because they didn’t help themselves with enough food.

Plaintiff

Would you look at them?

Representative

It’s all right. I’ll handle this.

Other than that,

the defendant had also promised to provide a safe learning environment.

That's also false.

Based on Liang-liang’s description,

having a karate class

means the kids just fight with each other.

No professional coaches or athletic trainers were present.

He got beaten up like that.

Doesn’t the school need to take responsibility?

Therefore, we seek to terminate the contract

and have all the tuition fees refunded.

Give me back my money!

If the kids get injured,

we follow protocol and get them to the hospital.

As for the curriculum,

Mr. Liu,

you are not qualified in karate.

You have no right

to criticize whether the class accommodates the needs of the kids.

You’re so full of crap!

Do you think we don’t know karate?

Let’s take it outside!

See if I know anything. Come on!

What? Do you want me to go over instead?

Mr. Liu!

Please watch the plaintiff’s emotions and choice of words.

Calm down and I’ll do the talking.

Your Honor.

Apart from what I’ve just mentioned,

we also suspect

that Sunshine Kindergarten has an over-enrollment issue.

Your Honor.

The attached security camera footages

show that the kindergarten is not guilty.

I’ve seen the security camera footage too.

But the scale of the kindergarten is massive.

Why are there only two cameras?

One at the front gate and one at the back.

What kind of dirty truth are you trying to hide?

The defendant has spent all the income

on looking after every single kid.

So they have no resources to buy new ones.

We do apologize for this.

We just hope that all parents

can offer them more trust.

Moreover,

my client has passed the inspection every time

and received certification for outstanding performance for three years.

This is pure defamation.

Your Honor.

Allow me to call forth a witness, Wen Xiao-yu.

Please state the reasons for this.

Xiao-yu was employed by the plaintiff.

Although she had already left,

her testimony could still prove

that the kindergarten is guilty of gross negligence.

Besides,

she is the key to saving the kids.

Your Honor.

We do not consider it necessary.

Let the witness come forth.

Mr. Liu, where’s the witness?

She's on her way. She's just around the corner.

I’m really sorry.

I still don’t think it’d be a good idea to testify.

Your Honor.

The witness is under severe pressure.

So I should let the defendant off easy today.

Can we do this another day?

Mr. Big Shot must be thinking

about ending this once and for all.

He will send the headmaster to prison

and all the kids to juvie

and then tear down the kindergarten.

This is only a civil case.

It's not going to turn out that way.

He’s Liu Lang.

Turning a civil case into criminal defense.

That's his style.

Seriously?

I'm kidding.

I’m off.

Hi, excuse me.

Is Mr. Liu Lang here?

He is.

Come in, please.

The headmaster told us before

that Liang-Liang is a bully at school

and his dad is a ruthless lawyer.

That’s why we kept our distance.

I’m not surprised about her spreading rumors.

But what made you come here?

My son Hao-hao was hurt at the kindergarten.

And I found out that there’s no insurance.

That is insane.

Exactly.

They wanted to settle this under the table with money.

It’s not the money that I care about,

but the kids not being protected.

I did some research online and found that

they have over-enrollment issues.

They’re worried about getting busted

so the over-enrolled kids aren’t insured.

Then I remembered that you told us

that we could ask for your help if needed.

I believe this is a good opportunity.

You must be thinking that I’d talk to you.

But I won’t.

In this case, the first to the third instance

will take around two years.

For each instance, you’re looking at four to five trials.

Assessing and writing complaints,

I’m thinking 30 to 50 hours.

My fee will be around 300,000.

If we file class-action suits

and ask for more than 1.5 million,

we'll most definitely go to the third instance.

My fee will be at least 600,000.

I do all the hard work just to get the 100,000 tuition fees back

and lose 500,000 or even 800,000 of my attorney fee.

Do I look like an idiot to you?

Lin Xiao-yan.

She doesn't get it. Do the math again.

Basically...

Are you going to give up?

I'm not giving up, but waking up.

I’m sorry.

Mr. Big Shot hasn’t taken his medication today.

So he’s a bit moody.

When he’s calmer,

we will let you know, okay?

We're sorry about that. We will see you another time.

Okay.

Please.

Liang-liang.

Did something bad happen today?

You didn’t tell the headmaster and teachers,

but ran straight home to your uncle?

Please don’t do that next time.

Because this is what a bad kid does.

Please don’t be mad...

Don’t be mad at me...

Don’t be mad at me...

Liang-liang.

Did you have nightmares?

Mr. Cupman is broken.

Children.

Let’s talk about dinosaurs today.

Does anyone know about dinosaurs?

-No. -No!

-Really? -Really.

Let me kick it too.

Teacher.

Mr. Cupman is broken.

Why were you so careless? You didn't put it away yourself.

Didn’t you say you’d make one for me?

Make another one.

Why didn’t you tell me about the bullying?

Because the teacher told me not to say.

And you just listened?

Who should you listen to?

I should be listening to Liu Lang.

But you told me to listen to the teachers.

Can I stop going to the kindergarten?

I thought you said you're not an idiot.

There are two things that I wouldn’t compromise.

Money

and dignity.

This kindergarten tarnished both.

My back hurts.

Here they are.

Take the kids away now.

Got it.

Education Bureau

What’s up? Why did you come all of a sudden?

I didn’t want to, but someone made a complaint.

What is the problem?

Nothing. Everything is great.

Why don’t you come in and have a look around?

Come.

Will they get away with it again this time?

Wash your hands then eat lunch.

Wash thoroughly.

The ones that stayed, they obey.

I raised the issue once

and I was bullied by the headmaster and other teachers.

Most teachers are the headmaster's relatives.

People like me who were interviewed

were just there to fill the vacancy and do the dirty work.

We usually don't last over a year.

It’s up to you to protect the kids.

If you’re willing to work together, you do as I say.

Much love.

Did you record her?

Did you get her consent?

Can we use this for the trial?

I didn’t say I’m using this for the trial.

What else then?

I told you. Nothing happened.

Thank you. I'm sorry for the trouble.

If you’re visiting in the future,

make sure to tell us in advance

so I can prepare some tea.

Have a safe trip.

Wait!

I’m filing a complaint against this kindergarten!

Yes!

Ms. Wen-xin.

If you’re unhappy about anything,

you could’ve come to me.

If you want to quit,

things don’t have to end this way.

Why do you have to be like this?

Even if I quit,

I will still try to expose you.

What? Did they pass the inspection?

Are you surprised?

The headmaster bribed her way out.

What do we do now?

Wen-xin has put herself out there.

Will she be able to testify?

Can we still make the appeal and win?

I didn’t say she would testify.

What do you mean?

I’m creating a diversion.

Your Honor.

He has been making false accusations,

wasting everyone’s time,

and abusing the court's resources.

He damaged the reputation of Sunshine Kindergarten.

We hope this ends now

so everyone can go back to their lives.

Your Honor, please examine the video evidence.

Objection.

-This is uncalled for. -Objection, my butt!

Objection...

Is that the only word you know?

You’re not exactly a good lawyer.

Such easy money. Hire me instead.

Your Honor.

Please examine the video evidence.

Granted. Play it.

Come down, keep walking.

Hold hands and walk slowly.

Liang-liang, I fixed Mr. Cupman for you.

You guys have so many fun adventures.

So take this camera with you

to school.

Film the adventures you have with Mr. Cupman.

Don't forget

to film all the dark monsters.

Let me teach you how to switch it on.

That’s right.

Liang-liang,

I'm leaving it to you.

Walk straight.

Squat down when you go into the car.

One by one.

Hurry, go further.

Hurry up.

Okay.

Now, go in.

Go in. Get in the car.

Get in.

Come.

So we’re playing hide and seek.

So what do we do?

Sit down.

Good.

I’ll be back to pick you up.

Your Honor.

This was filmed by student Liu Liang-liang.

We could clearly see

they have not only over-enrollment issues,

but also an unqualified vehicle.

The vehicle is clearly

in violation of the regulations for the children’s shuttle.

With no adults on board,

accidents could happen.

This alone

will send the defendant into bankruptcy!

Don’t be surprised so soon.

I’ve got another surprise for you.

Play the next video.

Come out holding each other’s hands.

You go up first.

Ms. Wen-xin.

If you want to quit,

things don’t have to end this way.

Why do you have to be like this?

Even if I quit,

I will still try to expose you.

Sure you could.

I know people inside the Education Bureau.

I’m more worried about you.

What you did could cost you all future jobs.

There we go.

Headmaster Su, how arrogant.

"I know people inside the Education Bureau."

Can I be your "people" too?

Your Honor.

Ms. Wen-xin in the video

risked her job

and exposed the headmaster to the inspector.

She also had a fierce argument with the headmaster.

Your Honor.

We plead

that besides civil compensation,

the authorities should investigate

and find the bribed officials.

The kindergarten should be shut down permanently.

Defendant, now you can act surprised.

Are you busy?

Are you blind?

Say what you want.

Why are you so upset?

Crying isn’t going to help with anything.

I spent over 100 hours on this case.

But I only got the tuition fee refund.

The other parents did nothing. And they can enjoy the fruit of my work.

Am I running a charity?

What’s wrong with charity?

Everything!

What?

I was trying to say,

I helped you with the kindergarten case.

Shouldn’t you help me with my problems too?

What problems?

Thanks to you,

I got my money back.

My colleagues are all so envious

that I’ve got a brilliant and good-looking lawyer.

I’m alright.

Speaking of colleagues,

did you manage to find out

who works for Jhong Le for the Internet stuff?

Not yet.

There are too many departments in Jhong Le.

I couldn’t seem to find much.

By the way, my relative recently got into a car accident

and would like your help.

Car accident?

Usually, you just settle in private for civil compensation.

And I am pretty expensive.

But I can get you a pretty good deal.

I want 30% of the cut.

Of course.

Noodle Head?

Is he calling me?

Noodle Head?

Yes, you.

Did you just call me Noodle Head?

What if I did?

Miss Lin?

Is that your son? He’s so cute.

Hi, Angela.

He’s so adorable,

so of course he’s not mine.

It’s his.

Go to Daddy.

Daddy?

Angela...

Mr. Liu.

I will not keep you busy any further.

Bye.

Angela.

Why did she leave?

I was on a date.

A Noodle Head holding a kid calling me Daddy.

Why wouldn’t she leave?

Why did you bring him over?

I told you to look after him.

I thought I’d bring him to you

so you could take him home with you later.

It’s good that I came.

I've saved her some money.

What did you think I was doing?

They spread so many rumors about me.

She might know something.

Why can’t I ask her out?

It’s not against the law.

Right.

I see.

I'm sorry.

I should go then.

Wait.

Sit down and eat with us.

Eat? Are you paying?

You did help with the case.

Just a little.

Liang-liang, food time.

You can’t order more than 200 dollars.

You’re so cheap.

Liang-liang, you did a great job collecting evidence.

You can eat as much as you want.

-Hurray. -Hurray!

Hurray!

Liang-liang, order a lot.

I'll help you eat it.

Ignore her, Liang-liang.

These with smaller numbers taste better.

Order these.

-Yes, 60 and 70 dollars. -That's too cheap.

-Nothing more than 100. -Make your own decision.

You can order a lot of those.

Da-en.

I told you to do some research for me. Have you done it?

You better find it quick.

I have to find out who is behind it.

Okay, bye.

It's me.

It's me who you're up against.

200 dollars?

I won!

I won 200 dollars!

Liang-liang!

Get up, quick!

We have pocket money for dinner tomorrow!

Music, please!

-It’s not a big deal -It's not a big deal

-It’s not a big deal -It's not a big deal

-It's not a big deal -You're so annoying.

Present award!

This is from the parents at the kindergarten

as a thank you.

“Angel of Justice who fought against evil.”

What angel? This is wrong.

-It should be “Devil”. -"Devil".

They have no shame.

I got their money back, but they got me a piece of crappy fabric.

They should've given me a plaque instead.

I have some news to announce.

The subsidy...

We got it!

-It’s not a big deal -It's not a big deal

-It’s not a big deal -It's not a big deal

-Save me a piece! -I got it.

Good work. You have some salad.

-Have some salad. -No!

Hey, Jia.

Have you found it?

Usually, we wouldn't allow Liang-liang to enroll

if you don't have the papers.

But since Mr. Zeng

is an excellent volunteer,

we've made exceptions this time with him as a guarantor.

But we’d still like to see the paperwork soon.

I’m on it.

Happiness Kindergarten Application

Birth Date

Name: Liu Liang-liang, Applicant: Liu Lang

Relationship with Applicant

Father and son

Jia, thank you so much.

Otherwise, I wouldn't know what to do with Liang-liang.

What?

I paid my rent on time.

What’s your relationship with Liang-liang, really?

How come you don't have his household certificate?

I...

He showed up out of the blue last month,

calling me Daddy.

I’m still trying to figure out who the mother is.

But I didn’t lie.

I am really broke.

You two aren’t father and son.

The paternity test shows only a 97% match.

It's not 99.9%?

Xu Da-en is such an idiot.

The 97% only reveals

that you’re third-degree relatives.

I’ve volunteered at an orphanage before.

This is a common mistake.

So you might be his paternal uncle

or maternal uncle.

So...

You aren’t father and son.

I'm free!

But what if I can’t find his dad?

What will happen to him?

He’ll be sent to an orphanage first.

Well, that’s not really a bad thing.

Some of those are pretty decent.

But that’s not home.

An orphanage?

This letter is probably the only clue.

It could be your relative or someone you know.

Someone was in trouble.

That's why they left him to you.

Liu Lang, I'm sorry. Please take care of Liang-liang.

Please believe that he really is your son. He's allergic to seafood like you.

Don't let him eat it!
