"Memory of an Elephant" by Fang Wu

[Wacko At Law]

(Previous Episode Review) - Who are you? How dare you attack Mai Da Qi? - Calm down!

- Let go of me! - Shut up!

Dad, get up. [Heaven must pay]

Did I tell him thank you?

Zi Juan is willing to be a witness.

Lai Wen Fang auditioned 13 years ago as well.

How can he still be here after hitting Director Cai 13 years ago?

Who doesn't have a past? Who is the victim and who is the victimizer?

You are Xiao Mi.

I really miss you.

Tell Manager Lai not to go too far or she'll hurt herself.

No need to look further. Go to Mrs. Liu directly.

[Episode 4]

Madam, your courier is here.

Mrs. Liu.

Mai Da Qi. Get him out.

You must take a look at this.

And, it's best for her not to be here.

This is related to your husband.

I put in a lot of effort into planning the auditions.

I just want to develop new talents for the film and television industry.

Give opportunities to the younger generation of actors.

I never thought we'd pick someone so ill-mannered.

Not only she isn't behaving herself, she's suing me.

I'm... distressed. Truly distressed.

Hypocrite, what a hypocrite.

Your honor, Ms. Lai Wen Fang is already exhausted from this lawsuit.

The plaintiff, Zhang Wan Ting's allegation is only one-sided.

Not only there is no witness, but they also don't have any substantial evidence.

To prevent further damage to my client,

I advise your honor to do justice to my client with haste.

I've said before

if the plaintiff cannot provide substantial evidence,

then this lawsuit could've ended long ago.

Lawyer Mai and Lawyer Bai, you must persuade me with evidence today.

Indeed, if we drag this on any longer, it'd be a waste of time.

In terms of time, how many secrets would be hidden in there?

The secret I'm about to tell has been hidden for 25 years.

A 13-year-old girl, who lost her parents in a car accident, was raised by her grandma who made a living collecting seaweed.

Ten years later, the girl was then 23 years old.

The grandma suddenly had a stroke and became a vegetable. In order to afford her nursing home,

she started to work part-time, set up street stalls just like Zhang Wan Ting.

Ms. Lai, is that girl you?

Is that you?

Your honor, these past occurrences that Lawyer Mai said has nothing to do with this case.

Your honor, I can prove that this is relevant to the case.

Then quickly prove it. Please continue.

It's fine if Ms. Lai does not want to answer.

Anyway, a boy from the neighborhood

often tagged along with that girl who collected seaweed with her grandmother.

Many years later, he became your assistant. His name is Luo You Hui right?

I don't understand why you're asking these irrelevant questions.

18 years ago, there was another 7-year-old girl.

Her mother disappeared.

Ever since childhood, she scavenged with her dad, pushing around a three wheel flatbed cart together.

She lived a tough life. Until one day, her father was falsely accused for murder.

Although he was proven innocent, her father took his own life.

Dad, dad?

Miss Zhang Wan Ting, the girl who scavenged with her father, that was you, right?

18 years later, you took first place at the audition.

Ms. Lai delivered the million dollar award personally.

Let's welcome Huaya Entertainment's general manager

to hand over this million dollar award.

Please general manager

["Love of Stars" Audition First Prize - NT$1,000,000]

Life is strange. Two girls who didn't know each other.

One collected seaweed with her grandmother. The other scavenged with her father.

Many years later, their paths actually cross in Taipei.

This, this one will make you look skinny. Yes.

These hair ties are new too. It's on sale if you buy two.

You can pair it with this. The weather is getting chilly. And this is fashionable too.

- And also... - Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Excuse me. I have to go.

Both of you came from the bottom. You both worked hard and lived a similar life.

Supposedly, you should understand each other the most. But somehow, both of you became enemies.

There must be a reason.

[Contract award - NT$800,000]

Ms. Lai, is this you?

[Presiding Judge]

[Plaintiff and Representative]

13 years ago, you attended an audition, and won the female lead of a movie.

Just like Zhang Wan Ting. [Hypocrite! Hidden Secret? Seaweed vs. Scavenge; 13 years ago, audition first place - Lai Wen Fang]

The contract award was NT$800,000 back then. You were elated.

You thought your life will finally take a turn for the better.

But who knew, two days after that audition ended, an accident occurred.

Your honor, Lawyer Mai's questions have nothing to do with the case.

I haven't even finished saying it. How can you tell it's irrelevant?

He violated my client's privacy.

- You purposely revealed my client's past as well. - When did I ever say that—

Ok, I take that back. But I must reveal the accident that occurred 13 years ago.

Because it is directly related to today's case.

- Please continue. - Your honor.

Lawyer Wu, please take a seat.

Lawyer Mai, please watch what you say.

I know there's a live streamer who revealed the plaintiff's personal information.

No matter if the information was given by the defendant or not,

I will not allow a case presided by me to have an eye-for-eye type of vengeful behavior.

I also won't allow you reveal personal information not relevant to the case.

Thank you for the reminder your honor, but I will never do such a thing.

Ms. Lai, you may return to your seat now.

[Presiding Judge]

[Defendant and Representative]

13 years ago, on the second day after the audition ended,

a violent encounter occurred near the hotel.

Who was attacked? Who was the attacker? We interviewed two retired workers from the hotel.

Here are their statements.

Do you still remember the name of the attacker?

- It was Assistant Luo. - Whose assistant?

It was Manager Lai's assistant, Assistant Luo.

- It was Assistant Luo indeed. - Who did he hit?

Our hotel's Director Cai.

- Do you mean Director Cai Bai Xi? - Yes.

That day, Director Cai was really pitiful.

His leg was broken!

May I please ask you, Director Cai, has your leg healed completely?

It healed ages ago, but that was just a misunderstanding.

Misunderstanding?

So it's a misunderstanding. Is that why you decided not to sue Luo You Hui?

Yeah... Yes.

Then, can you please tell us what exactly was the misunderstanding about?

It's been so long since it happened...

I can't even remember clearly.

Then let me remind you.

This police report clearly states what happened in that violent incident.

Your honor, you have a copy of it.

When speaking with the police, Luo You Hui said the reason why he attacked Cai Bai Xi,

was to teach Cai Bai Xi a lesson as he was bullying Lai Wen Fang.

Then may I ask what does it mean to 'bully'?

- I-I-I.... - Oh!

You don't need to reply. It's already written clearly in here.

[Q: How did he bully Lai Wen Fang?] [A: He raped her.] [Q: Did Lai Wen Fang make a police report?] [A: No.]

Director Cai, you may go back to your seat.

Because this involves Ms. Lai Wen Fang's privacy, I cannot reveal it.

Luo You Hui sees Lai Wen Fang as his older sister.

It's expected for a brother to do something if his sister being bullied.

The question is, why didn't Director Cai sue Luo You Hui?

The real reason, only Director Cai and Ms. Lai know the best.

I won't presume they'll say it so I can only guess.

13 years ago, 6 months after the audition activity,

Ms. Lai became the General Manager of Huaya Entertainment Group till present.

The Director at that time was Cai Bai Xi.

What was the agreement between Cai Bai Xi and Ms. Lai? I can't presume.

I do know that when Ms. Lai's grandma got sick,

you paid in full the owing fees at the nursing home.

Currently, the cost of grandma's private room is NT$1,200,000 per year.

I think Ms. Lai should be very filial.

But the question is, what is "bullied"?

If you were bullied, wasn't Zhang Wan Ting bullied as well?

If you were filial, then should Zhang Wan Ting be sacrificed?

This is a separate matter. I object to your unreasonable and unrelated comparison. Your Honor—

It's related.

This previous victim is now the perpetrator and she is one of the accomplices.

Your Honor, please allow me to call my next witness.

Miss Lin Zi Juan. She's waiting outside.

What's happening? Wasn't she already bought over by the opponent?

Pardon me. I've arrived late.

This woman is really something. She's at court wearing something like that.

[Lin Zi Juan appears in court to testify]

Presiding judge, I have a USB flash drive here.

The files inside were given to me by Director Cai Bo Xi.

I didn't steal them.

Director Cai, you're so bad.

Let me tell you, as long as you join our get-togethers,

I'll give you anything you want.

Okay. Then you have to send me the recordings.

Otherwise, how am I supposed to learn?

That's no problem. Okay!

Thank you Director Cai.

- Click "confirm". - Okay.

- I got it! - Okay?

Thank you Director Cai.

Director Cai, let's drink.

Okay, let's drink.

Here, cheers.

May I ask Miss Lin Zi Juan, what are those files?

You really want to know?

Not only do I want to know, everyone here also wants to know.

These are...

These are sexual selfies from

three, four, five, six-somes.

Not only is Director Cai in them, so are Director Liu and Director Huang.

Do you want to know more details?

No need. Thank you.

Lin Zi Juan,

- the files you just gave the Court Reporter are files of the three, four, five, six-somes? - Yes.

No no no. There's one file that's an exception.

Its filename is "mov0929"

The handsome Court Reporter,

don't play the wrong one. Otherwise it'll be really embarrassing.

Can you please respect others?

If I say I don't want to drink, then I don't want to drink.

Okay. Then we won't drink anymore.

Why don't we just directly go to the room?

What are you doing?!

Director Huang, I'm so sorry! I apologize.

Oh my goodness.

Director Huang, don't be mad. I'll take care of this. I'm sorry.

Director Cai has a strange obsession.

If you like to have affairs, then have them. Why leave evidence?

You record this and you record that. Now you're in trouble, right?

Director Cai, you've met a lot of women.

But you'll never understand a woman's heart.

If I want a gold and silver mountain,

why would I willingly be a mistress?

Since I've come to you, then the opponent will also come to you.

So what?

So if the other party asks you to help, then agree. Director Cai clearly doesn't want to divorce, but he lied to you that he would.

Maybe I can help with whatever you want to do.

He told me that he had a bad relationship with his wife and that he wanted to divorce her.

That's why I agreed to be with him. So he tricked me to sleep with him first,

but in reality, he wanted to lie to me forever.

I can't let it go. For horrible men who think they can buy whomever they want just because they have money,

I want them to get their retribution.

Deal.

Thank you, Miss Lin.

You are welcome.

It's now very clear what the facts are.

Ms. Lai, I could've continued to dig into your scar,

to attack you. But this is not the justice I want.

A prior victim has now become the perpetrator. How could you bear to do this?

Where did the girl who used to pick seaweed with her grandmother go?

Send my regards to her. I know she's still there.

Just like the girl who used to scavenge with her father,

she's always been there.

Presiding Judge, please allow me to summon the next witness,

Liu Yan Chang's wife,

Mrs. Wu Zheng Hui.

Invite her in.

Didn't you say she refused to appear in court?

Thank you Mrs. Liu for agreeing to appear in court.

Madam, your courier is here.

Mrs. Liu.

Mai Da Qi? Tell him to get out.

You must take a look at this.

And, it's best for her not to be here.

This is related to your husband.

You leave first. And close the door behind you.

Come take a shot. Come! Give me a hug, give me a hug.

- I don't want a hug! - Stop running. Come, come!

Stop running!

- No! - Come!

- I don't want to play with you guys. - Come!

- No! - We can't record you!

Go away.

Director Liu, Director Cai, Director Huang, and He Yi Chun. That's called a foursome.

Mrs. Liu, your husband is already so ridiculous. You can't be more ridiculous than him.

Your true enemy is not Zhang Wan Ting, but He Yi Chun in this clip, and Lai Wen Fang.

Are you blackmailing me?

I just want you to understand the truth.

Time is of the essence. Please get to the point.

Then Mrs. Liu, please tell us what happened exactly on October 7th.

That day, how did you end up at Nanto Hotel, and how did you end up in a conflict with Zhang Wan Ting?

Mrs. Liu, didn't you accuse Zhang Wan Ting of entering your husband's room and seducing him?

Later, I realized that Miss Zhang just entered the wrong room.

She wasn't trying to seduce my husband. This was just a misunderstanding.

Mrs. Liu, I already knew that Miss Zhang entered the wrong room.

But how did she get the room card? There's only two options.

Number one: she used a false reason to obtain the card.

Number two: someone planned to give it to her.

Which one is it?

Didn't I already say this?

This is all a misunderstanding. There's no use in pursuing this.

Why don't we do this? Miss Lai and Miss Zhang should settle.

Let's see how much compensation she wants, and I can help pay for it.

As for the movie, we should continue to film it. Does this sound okay?

Quiet, quiet.

Ms. Liu, you are the witness, and I am the judge.

I am the who decides the verdict, not you.

Your duty right now is to truthfully answer Lawyer Mai's questions. Do you understand?

Yes, I understand.

Lawyer Mai, please continue.

The lawsuit has come to this stage now. Even if they settle,

we still need to return the justice to my client.

What exactly are you trying to do?

I've already agreed to settle with you. What are you trying to do?

It's easy, as long as you're willing to tell the truth.

That day Zhang Wan Ting was set up. Whose intention was this?

Director Liu is the movie's largest investor and has always hid his love affairs from you.

Then reasonably, General Manager Lai would not be the one to report this, nor would He Yi Chun.

They would not have the courage.

Then how did Mrs. Liu know that Zhang Wan Ting was in Director Liu's room?

Who wanted to set her up?

You seem to already know the answer.

♫ Great, great, you laughed ♫

♫ I still remember the first time I met you ♫

Then how did Mrs. Liu know that Zhang Wan Ting was in Director Liu's room?

Who wanted to set her up?

You seem to already know the answer.

My assistant purposely went to Nanto Hotel to ask about some secrets.

That day, I saw Director Liu's wife and Manager Lai

sitting at that spot.

Mrs. Liu appeared to be throwing a temper. She was talking pretty loudly.

Then can you tell me why Mrs. Liu was throwing a temper?

Mrs. Liu, they were doing publicity. Why did you go with them?

And how did you get into a conflict with Lai Wen Fang?

You don't want to say it? Don't tell me I should say it?

Do you know...

how hard it is to protect this family?

A lot of times you have to feign ignorance.

Even if someone... his heart is no longer in this family,

you still have to turn a blind eye and pretend that you can't see anything.

But now...

I'm at the end of my patience.

That day, Lai Wen Fang wouldn't tell me anything.

I was very angry.

If you don't tell me the truth,

then I won't allow my husband to invest in your movie again.

Let me ask you again,

is the first place winner from every audition reserved for my husband?

That's why Zhang Wan Ting is reserved for my husband.

Say something!

Yes, originally. But Zhang Wan Ting wouldn't cooperate.

That's why everything afterwards turned out to be very ugly.

What you mean is Zhang Wan Ting didn't want to follow your hidden rules?

How are you planning to deal with this?

I won't be the one dealing with this.

Usually Directors Liu, Cai, and Huang will take of it themselves.

Get her drunk. Once, twice, thrice. They will try until they succeed.

Until they succeed? What do you mean?

For sex.

Become their woman.

So one day Zhang Wan Ting will become my husband's woman.

Say something.

Is Zhang Wan Ting here yet?

Not yet. She's still on the way.

Where's my husband?

After Director Liu checked-in, he went out for dinner with Directors Huang and Cai.

Give my husband's room card to Zhang Wan Ting.

But don't let her know.

Later on, Lai Wen Feng told He Yi Chun to take me to that room.

He Yi Chun should be very happy.

She obtained the female lead without even doing anything.

Why are you in my husband's room?

Everyone knows what happened later on.

I won't say more.

So you told Lai Wen Fang to give Zhang Wan Ting Director Liu's room card,

but Zhang Wan Ting didn't know that was Director Liu's room at all.

That's correct. Instead of having my husband do anything,

I might as well act first and punish her to set an example.

I know only you had such a motive.

[Wu Zheng Hui admitted to set her up]

I'd like to make a public apology to Miss Zhang Wan Ting.

I'm sorry.

If you don't accept my apology,

it's perfectly fine.

If you choose to hate me, that will be fine too.

Liu Yan Chang.

The person that I hate the most is actually you.

But I've already figured it out.

I don't plan to keep lying to myself.

Only if we divorce,

there'll be no longer hatred between us.

Wife!

You couldn't even guard Mrs. Liu properly.

You're the one who lost this case, not me.

Your Honor, the file we just turned in to you is enough to constitute another criminal case.

Please turn this over to the prosecutor in the district prosecutor's office according to the law.

The prosecutor must investigate thoroughly.

That group of people are the guilty ones.

Some of the girls in the videos taken by Director Cai were from the audition activities.

Whether they did it voluntarily or were coerced,

whether Lai Wen Fang was involved is no longer the key point of this case.

Lawyer Wu once inferred that Zhang Wan Ting was a hunter, but he's mistaken.

The real hunters are you bunch of people.

You use your wealth and power to turn this city into your hunting grounds, your sex market.

13 years, Lai Wen Fang was the victim but she couldn't resist the temptations and became the perpetrator herself. [Sex Market!]

But the true wrongdoers are you people, who are abusing the loopholes in the entertainment industry.

If i don't expose you today, and just punish Lai Wen Fang,

in the future, there will be a second, a third Lai Wen Fang.

In the future, there will be more women who will be harmed.

The defendant's laughable story of going into the wrong room is at the end.

I must implore you, Your Honor.

Please make a quick verdict and exonerate my client.

I'm the hero, okay?!

Bai Chong Guang still sleeping? Come quickly to pour the red wine. Sleep. Sleep. Sleep.

I know! You're always nagging.

- Cheers! - Congratulations, Wan Ting!

Congratulations for winning this case.

I should thank you guys. You guys are my heroes.

But it's such a shame that Lawyer Mai couldn't come.

He's weird. He wouldn't budge. Says he's got to exercise. I don't understand.

I also don't understand him.

Why is he into such a dangerous extreme sport? One mistake and he'll...

Tell you. Next time you see him, remind him that

now is not like before. He isn't just by himself.

What do you mean not by himself?

This latest case has gotten a lot of publicity.

And we were able to scrape out a victory.

Now everyone is associating me with Mai Da Qi.

But if he doesn't join our law firm,

It'll be hard to get cases in the future.

This fella doesn't have the luck.

He doesn't get to drink this special wine chosen by me.

Could this be fake wine? Oh my!

What fake? Even though usually I'm a bit on the thrifty side,

I usually buy wines for NT$290. This wine today,

- NT$399! - Er.

Also think about it. You've got some glory as well winning this case.

I think you've got some glory from Mai Da Qi.

No. No. No. You're totally mistaken.

Miss Zhang came to find me because of Zhenlu Law Firm.

She only got to meet Mai Da Qi after finding me.

Mai Da Qi only got to work the case after she found him.

He wouldn't have won if he didn't work the case.

There would not be our celebration event if he didn't win. Who organized the event?

That's me. Look. It's come full circle.

It's all because of me right?

You reckon? I'll tell you the truth today. Do you know why Zhang Wan Ting came to us?

You.

How do you know?

It's so simple.

You believe Miss Zhang just because she was being polite?

Previously, it was because Teacher Tian helped her father.

So she knows Zhenlu Law Firm.

Is that right?

What you said isn't incorrect.

It isn't incorrect, then it's correct!

Get it? Tian Yu Xin!

Stupid. Eh.

Right. Right. Right. Right.

You're the most correct person in the whole world! He's so full of himself.

Don't even give me a chance to shine.

Tian Yu Xin.

That's correct, I did come because of you.

Cheers!

Lawyer Bai Chong Guang, what are you doing?

You're feeling guilty and repenting in front of the tree?

What repenting in front of the tree?

Lawyer Mai Da Qi was looking at these leaves the other day

and it seems he came up with a reasoning.

He said something like the leaf's veins

are like... blood vessels or something.

And... will create...

It will create blockage like the traffic jam.

I don't really know. Weren't you here with him that day? What did he say?

I don't remember, but I think it was like a poem.

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.

But nature always has a way for it to revive.

Justice, the truth, and torrents

cannot be stopped by anyone. Is that right?

That's right.

But why does it seem like you said more than him?

My dad wrote it.

Your dad wrote it? Where?

In his notebook. It's stored in his desk.

Which one? I-I haven't seen before.

Even I haven't seen it, how could Mai Da Qi have seen it?

And how did he memorize it so well?

I can deduct one thing from this.

Mai Da Qi is not a genius.

The real genius is Teacher Tian.

Yu Xin.

Do you think why Mai Da Qi has seen your father's notebook?

I don't know.

That's strange.

Today in court he said my dad was a scavenger.

Also that I was the one to help push the three wheel flatbed cart.

These are all true, but...

How would he have known?

That's weird.

What?

What?

C-Could he talk to the ghosts?

Stop saying nonsense. What talking to the ghosts?

This early in the morning...

It's fine.

Talking to the ghosts?

♫ Great, great, you laughed ♫

♫ I still remember the first time I met you ♫

No one can touch Brother Da Qi,

unless I fall first.

Did Lai Wen Fang tell you to come?

She wants me to tell you thank you.

Sister, what should we do with Mai Da Qi?

You still want to handle him?

Even if you killed him, you wouldn't be able to protect me.

It's too late for me to turn back now.

But Mai Da Qi woke me up.

He made me realize how absurd my life has been in the last few years.

I was surprised to hear what he said at court.

He could've pressed on, but he actually said something good for you.

I've never seen a lawyer like that.

Find him then.

Tell him that I said thanks.

Tell her that she is welcome.

I want to ask how you knew about our seaweed collecting past?

It's not hard to find yours and Manager Lai's childhood home.

Your neighbors knew everything about your past.

This island is big, but not big enough.

No secret can be hidden.

♫ I still remember yesterday's journey ♫

You've always loved her, right?

♫ When I sing this song, you will already understand ♫

♫ Great, great, you laughed ♫

♫ I've long forgotten how to protect you ♫

♫ I will be responsible for your tomorrow ♫

♫ In order to prove the depth of my love ♫

Sometimes, there's no need to say anything.

That's called "love."

Let's go! Let's go relax somewhere

to celebrate, yeah?

Are you joking? Who can relax around you?

What?

Sometimes, there's no need to do anything, and that's called "gratitude".

Let's go.

Let's go.

Go home yourself.

I've called an uber driver for you.

Zi Juan, I'm sorry. I was mistaken about you.

Don't say that.

What about Lawyer Bai?

Do you still think that... I would sell someone out?

T-This...

What? Are you afraid to say it?

Are you scared of hurting me?

N-No, it's not like that.

I have harmed many people,

but I have never harmed women.

You're... too fickle.

And you are too soft.

You're so soft that I can't bear to harm you.

- Bye. - Bye bye.

Bye, Zi Juan!

Today we finally have the verdict for the tumultuous audition lawsuit.

Manager Lai Wen Fang of Huaya Entertainment, who hosted the audition,

held a press conference this morning to offer a public apology to Zhang Wan Ting.

Also, the preparation for the movie "Love of Stars" has been suspended.

From what we know, Zhang Wan Ting has decided to drop the lawsuit too.

I wanted to apologize to you personally.

But I think you wouldn't want to listen even I said it ten thousand times.

So it's faster if I just give you money.

I don't need your money.

It's not my money. It's from Directors Liu, Cai, and Huang.

They deserved it anyway.

NT$2 million. I've already wired it to Bai Chong Guang.

He said that you wanted to open up a small cafe shop.

Since Huayu Entertainment disbanded, I don't have a job anymore.

It seems like I can also go open up a cafe shop.

Otherwise I can be like you,

setting up street stalls and being chased by cops.

I'll see you later.

♫ This time I will really let go, oh, oh ♫

♫ It's time to let you go, oh , oh, oh ♫

This much-anticipated lawsuit seems to have ended in settlement.

One of the most interesting focus is Lawyer Mai Da Qi.

He became an overnight celebrity from the Wanmei Airline crash four years ago,

won the lawsuit on behalf of the victim's family

with a compensation as high as US$150 million.

Four years later, Mai Da Qi wins another lawsuit.

Everyone is curious of the amount of compensation Zhang Wan Ting has won.

You're talking about Lawyer Mai?

I'm sorry, we can't seem to contact him at the moment.

H-How about this, why don't you leave your number?

S-Sorry, please wait a moment.

- I hope that Lawyer Mai can help me to get rid of the money laundering charges. - Zhenlu Law Firm.

Money will not be a problem.

I want Lawyer Mai to catch that mistress

and destroy that shameless couple!

This kid is taking the blame for a murder that I committed.

So for Lawyer Mai, how much money will it take for this?

Actually, Lawyer Mai is very busy these days.

I can also handle this case.

You? I mean sure, that's fine too.

No wonder you're the boss.

You have the discerning eyes to tell greatness.

If you win, then it's this briefcase.

If you lose, then it's that briefcase.

Lawyer Mai, where are you?

You won't pick up your phone and you won't respond to text messages either.

Do you know that the entire world is looking for you? Every client is asking for you and not Lawyer Bai.

Lawyer Bai kept saying yesterday that he wants to be your agent.

Now, he's saying he wants to be a leech. (T/N: means monopoly)

But you know he's bad at putting up an act.

He's nothing like a leech, he's more like a negative maggot.

In any case, please call me back when you get this voice mail.

Also, my mom said she wants to try a new recipe for

drunken chicken for you to taste. That's all.

Bye bye.

Hello?

What new recipe?

- Drunken chicken. - Did you call to ask me about that?

Did your mom mention what she's adding... is it fennel?

Hey, our hands are so tired from getting so many phone calls, what nonsense are you spouting about fennel? What the—

Watch your words.

Let me ask you this: did you know my father Tian Zhen?

Hello? Are you listening?

Hey! Tian—

Lawyer Mai! How're you doing, it's me, Chong Guang!

There's something I'd like to discuss with you.

Even though it's a little unfair to me, I hope

you can be my business partner.

Sorry, I'm not interested.

N-not... n-never mind,

give me your contact at the very least.

So I don't have to get to you through Tian Yu Xin!

Let me tell you, I have only one way of communicating: through Tian Yu Xin. Bye!

He thinks he's such a big deal!

- You're so rude! - Rude? Hey, compared to Mai,

I deserve a Nobel Etiquette Prize!

What are you talking about?

He told me he'll only communicate through Tian Yu Xin!

The deceased is named You Zheng Feng,

aged 56 years old. She discovered the body.

He's in a family of four. During the incident, his wife, son and daughter weren't at home.

His son is a wanted criminal.

Prosecutor Xu.

Looks like he fell down the stairs.

He reeks of alcohol.

Mrs. You, where were you at the time of the incident?

I was shopping at the market. My neighbor called me.

What about you, You Meng Han?

I was out having a meal with friends.

Did Mr. You Zheng Feng have a habit of drinking?

Lately, his work wasn't going smoothly,

so he drank more than usual.

Has You Zheng Feng made any enemies?

[Yi Cha Yi Lou Tea Shop]

Do you think someone harm him?

He has many friends, so I don't think so.

So do you think that Mr. You was drunk and fell down the stairs by accident?

I told him not to drink so much but he wouldn't listen.

Prosecutor Xu.

♫ Great, great, you laughed ♫

♫ I still remember the first time I met you ♫

The cause of death is a fracture of the cervical spine, leading to asphyxiation.

Look here.

There's a dent in this area that doesn't match the kind of injuries from a fall.

This baseball bat is too clean and spotless. It might have been cleaned before.

But at this spot, we found traces of blood.

What about fingerprints?

No fingerprints. Let's take a look at these photos.

This is a crack found on the bat.

When the victim fell, he hit his head here first.

- Is that his first point of impact while falling? - Yes.

There shouldn't be such a big splat of blood.

Unless... he was already injured and bleeding.

And that's why there was so much blood on the wall.

So this wasn't an accident.

He was injured and bleeding,

and then was pushed down the stairs.

Ah.

- Should I place it here? - Yes. How is it?

Sure, I think it's great!

Ok, please place it there first.

What about the other pot? On the table? No. The table is for the customers.

That's right, that's right.

- Put it inside... no, that won't do. - Thank you!

Let's take pictures! Let's take pictures! Show them to Bai Chong Guang.

- Did you take it? Is it clear? - Let me take it for you.

[Bee Cafe]

Wow. Are these antiques?

I think they're super pretty.

They are very pretty.

I'm so happy.

Now that I've got this store, I won't have to work everywhere.

I'm so jealous that you get to be your own boss.

I have to thank you guys for winning the case for me.

Are you hiring? Why not let me work here?

Yes, yes, yes.

I'm looking for someone to drink coffee with me every day.

Thank you

for your help today.

Everyone who's calling our law firm is looking for Mai Da Qi

and he's not taking on any cases. It's ok if I don't go to work.

But I realised that your spot here is perfect for afternoon naps!

I think I'll just drop by after lunch every day for a quick nap!

And I'll prepare a bed for you at the back.

Good, place it there. I've been eyeing that spot.

Place it there.

Ok.

Thanks.

What are you doing here?

It's just a small gesture. Congratulations on your new store.

Thank you.

Miss Zhang, may I call you Wan Ting?

No, you can't.

Great Lawyer Wu, for what reason are you gracing us with your presence?

I love drinking coffee, so of course I'm going to support your new cafe.

I hope we can let bygones be bygones.

Can we be friends?

You've destroyed her, and now you want to be friends? What does that mean? I don't get it.

No, you can't.

The lawsuit was work and not personal. My support here proves that.

May I order a cup of coffee?

Let me serve him.

What would you like to have?

What's today's special?

It's not roasted yet.

I'll have some Yirgacheffe washed coffee—

It's sold out.

Didn't you just open for the day?

Lawyer Wu, are you questioning me?

Ok, I'll have a rose tea then, that shouldn't be a problem right?

The rose hasn't bloomed yet.

Why don't you recommend me something? I'll drink what you recommend.

Great.

Bee Cafe's today special is tap water. Great for curing your poison and cooling me down. How's that?

Ok, tap water it is then.

Please wait a moment.

Will Mai Da Qi be here?

His phone is...

It's none of your business!

This is on me.

- Thanks. - Get lost once you're done.

Do you know Mai Da Qi used to love crowds?

But these years after his girlfriend Xiao Kai left, he has become very unsociable.

People shouldn't dwell too long in their past.

But I really want to ask if he wants me to recommend some doctors for him.

If you're sick, then you should go see a doctor.

- Get out. - What are you doing?!

Get out!

Can you take care of her? She's going overboard.

Lawyer Wu, Yu Xin is my younger sister.

This is my shop.

I think I only welcome true friends here.

Your shirt is wet. Why don't you go home to change?

Are you leaving or not? Get out!

How dare you treat your customers like this?

The door is over there.

Be careful of catching a cold.

See a doctor? He's the one who needs to see a doctor!

We don't need to talk reason with this kind of person. They need a good beating instead! Clueless!

I think so too.

Okay.

Okay, don't be mad anymore.

But I did see the news say that

when Lawyer Mai was about to marry Xiao Kai,

that plane crash happened.

He must be very upset over that situation.

But I think that

he is a little... strange.

Why didn't you bring her along for dinner?

She's been busy lately, going here and there.

Sometimes, I don't know when she'll be here.

And sometimes, I don't know where she's been. So...

Why don't you bring her next time?

If it’s not too much trouble, then sure.

- Of course, it’s not too much trouble! It’s just an extra bowl and a pair of chopsticks. - Okay!

I think... he still thinks Xiao Kai hasn't left yet.

I think that sounds quite romantic.

Really, it's very unique.

Unique?

That's right. Every time you see him, you'll find new surprises and discoveries.

Like, at first I found him to be very arrogant.

But next he came apologize to me.

I always thought he is very cold,

but he's actually very faithful.

He is really different.

He really is quite different.

Yeah.

♫ We got next, we ready to flex ♫

♫ We ready to ride, ready to the top ♫

♫ We got next, can't settle for less ♫

♫ Gonna need your best, so give it all you've got ♫

♫ We got next, we ready to flex ♫

♫ We ready to ride, ready to the top ♫

Hey! Hey!

Sir, force them to the side.

Here. Chase closer to them.

When Mr. You's accident happened, was Mrs. You not home?

I was out buying groceries.

If I had stayed home, this accident wouldn't have happened.

You Meng Han wasn't home either?

I went out to have dinner with my boyfriend.

A neighbor said that they heard you arguing with your father.

What was going on?

That... that must be because before I left,

my dad drank a little alcohol, so he was talking loudly.

That's why I started talking a little loudly too.

But before I left, he was fine.

Was anyone else there when you were arguing with your dad?

No.

Three neighbors living this way,

that way, and downstairs, all said that

they heard the voices of three people arguing.

There's no way.

Only my dad and I were home.

Besides your father, there was also another man's voice. You Meng Han, don't lie.

Meng Han, what was going on?

Those neighbors are saying that it was your brother, You Shi Han.

Was that him?

No. No, it was not my brother.

If it wasn't him, then who was it?

Mr. Zhang on the first floor said that he saw your brother come home.

Prosecutor, what are you trying to say?

Mrs. You, your husband's death is not an accident.

Not an accident, do you understand that?

He was harmed physically and then got pushed off the stairs.

I suspect that your daughter is lying.

I just want to know if the culprit is your son.

You Meng Han, let me ask you again.

Was your older brother You Shi Han there that day?

H-He... that day my brother did come.

But he stayed very briefly and then left.

He was not even there when I argued with my dad.

I know you're lying.

That's okay.

He's your own brother. It's normal for you to lie.

However,

if I find out that you're also an accomplice,

the accomplice who killed their own father,

then your life is over.

Wait up!

Hurry, hurry!

Chase them!

Hurry!

Stop running, You Shi Han!

They are here!

Stop!

- Stop running! - You go that way!

Hurry up!

Stop!

- Where are they headed to? - It hurts, it hurts.

Where are they headed to?

Where is You Shi Han headed to?

- How would I know? - Where is You Shi Han headed to?

Let go of me.

You better cooperate with us!

It hurts!

♫ I still remember the first time I met you ♫

♫ I still remember your smiling eyes ♫

He's here.

Are you Wang Ke Rong's contact person?

And also his lawyer.

[Mai Da Qi]

Lawyer Mai, you're quite popular these days.

My surname is Li. Li Tian Po.

Officer Li, why is Wang Ke Rong here?

Speeding, refusing to stop, and obstructing the police.

Did he insult or assault the police?

- No. - So he can leave after you finish the statement?

Lawyer Mai, Wang Ke Rong covered the escape of the wanted criminal, You Shi Han.

Wanted criminal?

I really didn't know Xiao You was a wanted criminal.

You didn't know? Then why did you cover him to run away?

- What does "covered" mean? - Why is You Shi Han a wanted criminal?

He is suspected of assault, and the district prosecutor office couldn't summon him multiple times.

He's got another added recently. Suspected of murder.

What nonsense are you even saying? How could Xiao You kill someone?

If it wasn't a major event, why would I have the time to go after him?

You Shi Han's father is dead, and it's possible that he was killed.

He'll cooperate with the police and give a statement. I'll wait.

Sit.

Mai Da Qi? [Taipei District Prosecutors Office]

That's right.

Who knew this kind of hooligan can have that kind of lawyer friend.

He's a legend in the lawyer profession.

He has only taken on two lawsuits in four years, and won both brilliantly.

Before I could even scold him after taking his statement,

the lawyer took him away.

He's young and reckless.

Trying to protect is friend is nothing, so don't fret too much about it.

But there might be some kind of evidence on him.

That's why I told you to let him go.

You Shi Han, Wang Ke Rong, and their motorcycle gang,

I've already submitted an application to the court to request for communications surveillance

to monitor their movements.

There's no need to waste too much time on them.

The person we're about to meet is the key witness.

They said Xiao You was the culprit. Even if they beat me to death, I still wouldn't believe it.

He seemed to be in good spirits today.

I don't think he knew about his father.

He doesn't live at home?

I think it's because he's afraid of living at his home.

Two years ago, his father was injured by a drunk driver.

The driver's attitude was bad too, so Xiao You landed a few blows on him.

The other party sued him for assault, Xiao You just ignored him.

After that, he didn't want to be contacted by the police, so he cancelled his phone.

He's very reckless.

Worse than me by 100 times.

So Xiao You was wanted because they couldn't summon him multiple times.

What about his previous charge of obstructing the police?

Say it.

He was speeding and resisted arrest. He wasn't happy with the police, so

he shoved the police once.

- Were you present? - Yes.

You really need a scolding, you know?

- We were just having fun. - Just having fun?

Brother Da Qi, Xiao You really isn't the murderer. You've met him before.

Sometimes, there's no need to do anything, and that's called "gratitude".

So that's him.

Even though he looks like this, he's a kind person at heart.

There's no way he'd murder anyone, let alone his dad.

Alright, just keep a lookout.

You might be followed by the police, your phone might also be tapped.

- Did you hear me? - Yes.

Lawyer Mai, Xiao Ke.

You're really hard to find. You never responded to my questions.

You go in first.

What's the matter? Speak.

I wanted to ask if you knew my dad Tian Zhen.

I don't. But I've read his notes before at the library when I was still a student.

It was just a copy of it, but it was brilliant.

I have that notebook.

Lawyer Tian Zhen not only applies the law,

but he can push the limits of it. He's amazing.

He really is.

- I've mentioned that Wu Jing Tao and I had the same mentor. It was your father. - Really?

Although he didn't personally mentor us, we both saw him as our role model.

Tian Tian, I'm telling you,

you can be as formidable as your father.

I can?

Definitely. Believe me.

I think this is your first time complimenting me!

- It sure feels great to hear that! - Right?

- Really great right? - Yeah!

- Please take a look at this for me. - What is this?

[Taipei City Police Station North District Bureau Investigation Record]

So you...

So you complimented me...

with a motive?

Ok, ok. Let's talk inside.

I hope to keep today's conversation confidential.

We can't let Meng Han and her mother know.

Or our relationship will be done for.

We understand. We won't reveal you and will prevent any vengeance on you.

You'll be our secret witness. No one will know your identity.

Can you guarantee that?

I can, and the witness protection laws will protect you.

Xiao Zhao, quickly find Xiao You.

Don't ask. Xiao You knows where to find me.

[Taipei City Police Station North District Bureau Investigation Record]

[Wang Ke Rong: obstruction of the police, assault]

Why are you Xiao Ke's contact person?

In the plane crash incident four years ago, he was one of the victims' family members.

Since that lawsuit, he became my assistant.

What happened to the rest of his family members?

It depends on which family.

What do you mean?

Ask him yourself if he's willing to tell you.

He's so mysterious.

Anyway, we're family now.

Then what do you want me to do?

Xiao Ke will be listed as a witness or person of interest in the You family murder case.

He'll be summoned soon by the police or prosecution office.

Got it. You want my help to handle that.

You'll be paid the necessary legal fees.

They're our people. Why say this?

Thanks.

However, the shirt that was cut by you last time,

it's only NT$1,500.

I'll only charge you NT$1,200!

May I begin recording?

Liao Qing Yang, are you You Meng Han's boyfriend?

Yes.

On Nov 6th when You Zheng Feng was murdered, were you present?

This recording will be confidential.

To protect your identity, all related documents or the indictment,

will use an alias name for you.

Now, you have to tell us the whole truth

so I have the evidence. Do you understand?

I understand. Thank you.

Liao Qing Yang, on Nov 6th when You Zheng Feng was murdered,

were you present?

I was at the scene of the crime that day.

If you were present, why did You Meng Han lie about it?

I told her not to tell the truth.

Because...

because my parents are college professors and care a lot about their image.

If they knew I was at the scene of the crime,

they would not be able to accept it.

Did you witness You Shi Han commit murder?

Subtitles and Timing brought to you by the ⚖️Ace Attorney Team⚖️ @Viki.com

[Preview] I advise the suspect named You to surrender as soon as possible. Don't hide anymore.

We're definitely handling this case!

If I didn't do it, why should I confess?

Is your father Tian Zhen, Lawyer Tian?

These four pages are the statements from the secret witness.

If Papa You was murdered, then could the culprit be someone other than You Shi Han?

Can we see the other side clearly?

Are you willing to testify in court for Shi Han?

I'm doing an experiment in order to figure out what the hell Xiao Liao is doing.

Home.

A place that was supposed to exist,

but didn't exist.

About your father, was it you?
