I majored in psychology in college.

I lived abroad.

Did you know Lin Miao?

We were close.

Why?

Why do you always bring him up?

Why are we repeating this?

I came to the police voluntarily.

What other things do you remember from when you were young?

After my heart surgery,

I forgot a lot of things.

I only remember when I was little,

that I really liked a psychiatrist.

Why did you like her?

Why not?

If you could learn to control a person,

wouldn't that be great?

She once said,

"Believe in your belief...

PSYCHOLOGY CLINIC, INTERVIEW RECORD

...believe in your pretense.

Believe...

and it may all come true."

Do you remember anything from three years ago?

I had an operation.

What happened in the days before that?

That day...

NEW YORK, U.S.A HILTON GARDEN INN NEW YORK, W 35TH STREET

Hello?

Are you awake?

It's okay, go ahead.

Don't think we can hang on much longer.

The police received a report half an hour ago.

How?

It's been raining heavily the last two days.

A dog dug up the bones in the garden.

Don't worry, let me handle it. I'll approach her.

-No. -Or you want to wait until the whole thing

gets dug up from the garden?

TAIWAN

Good morning.

Today I'm going to introduce my male servant.

Let's see what he's up to.

Let's go.

Terrifying.

Xin!

You're so vulgar.

And I was preparing such a big breakfast for you.

Yeah I'm vulgar, so what?

So what?

You want to film?

All right, I'll film you...

Give it here. Don't run.

Stop running.

Give me the camera.

Stop. I'll film you.

-Stop. Give it here. -Wait...

Wait.

Give it here.

How dare you.

My turn to film you.

Weren't you making breakfast?

Miao.

I really do love you.

I should get ready to go. I'm going to be late.

This was 2002.

A massacre that happened during a musical audition for a university.

The auditions were entirely recorded.

That's why we have footage.

Now here's the problem.

About this young man,

Sun Ke-Jie.

Who can tell me what his motive was?

Why did he launch a massacre?

Nobody?

CRIMINAL PSYCHOLOGY RESEARCH SEMINAR

Nobody plays music here?

Could it be because of John Cage?

Reason being?

He'd been playing classical and learning about contemporary music for 17 years,

and yet he was still auditioning.

He was upset.

Please explain.

John Cage was an American avant-garde classical composer.

He insisted that any instrument

or any sound could classify as music.

Four minutes, thirty-three seconds was his most famous piece.

The performer did not need to play a single note.

All the sounds of the people present

were elements that contributed to this song.

What's that got to do with the killing?

When Sun Ke-Jie first started playing,

he glanced at the clock, it was our o'clock.

When he stopped with the killing,

he looked again,

and it was 4:04 and 33 seconds.

Sun Ke-Jie failed so many times in his auditions.

People laughed at him, saying that he didn't know music.

Stop...That's horrible playing.

You need to concentrate.

You've been studying classical music and theory of contemporary music for 17 years.

Brother.

If you think you can get famous with your good looks alone,

you'd better go home.

So he decided to teach the judges a lesson.

Let them participate in the music.

Sun Ke-Jie thought

their screams were the best music.

What Sun Ke-Jie did, was a crime.

And we just talked about

his motive, and the studies on the cause of his criminal action.

That is criminal psychology.

The study of crime, the things related to it

and also the science behind it constitutes the field of criminal psychology.

To put it simply, we study the human mind.

But our target of study

is the criminals.

I believe one's mind can be controlled.

That's why we're able to decipher actions, and that's why crime incitement exists.

This is the topic of the paper I've been writing recently.

To conclude, there's a motive behind every crime.

We can derive information

from the actions of the criminals

or in their actions of camouflage.

Yes, actions of camouflage.

The murderer will subconsciously hide their identity and their whereabouts.

If we can find that hidden info,

we'll be able to find the murderer.

Hello, my name is Yeh Xin.

I know.

I watched you grow up.

-I also know your father. -You know my father?

Excuse me.

LI WEI

You said that you know my dad?

Sorry.

Hello?

What did you say?

Miao.

CRIME SCENE, DO NOT ENTER

Cousin.

The police estimate

that the dug up human bones

were from three years ago.

How could this happen?

Why would anyone bury bones in my backyard?

I don't know.

The newspaper office notified me, so I quickly made my way here.

This is Dr. Alice. I was listening to her speech when I received the call,

so she came with me.

Did you contact your dad?

He's in a medical conference overseas. He didn't pick up.

I already left him a message.

He'll call me after he gets the message.

Good.

Xin.

You don't look well.

Do you want to take a rest?

-I'm afraid your heart-- -It's okay, I've been taking my pills.

In a moment, the police will ask you for some information

to help with the investigation.

They might ask you to go back to the police station with them...

for questioning.

I understand.

Because now I'm a suspect.

The bones were found in my backyard.

My father and I are the prime suspects.

We're not going anywhere.

We haven't lived here for a long time.

Help yourselves to anything you need.

We haven't been back ever since we moved out three years ago.

We haven't touched the things we moved in during the refurbishment.

Okay, thank you.

LOVE AND MURDER: INTERVIEW WITH DETECTIVE EXPERT HSU MEI-ZHI

What's wrong?

Nothing.

These cutouts from magazines and newspapers

were all from my dad.

My mom...

was once a famous author of detective fiction.

A lot of magazines and newspapers interviewed her.

Xin.

Are you okay?

He never mentions her.

After she gave birth to me,

she had postnatal depression and committed suicide.

It was a big blow for my dad.

I didn't know your mom killed herself.

I thought she died from

the heart disease that runs in your family.

Look at her.

Standing right there

in front of this big window.

She wasn't smiling,

but she looked calm.

Just like the white roses my dad would buy her.

But after the interview,

she killed herself, on the same day.

I was only eight months old.

Xin.

Knowing the risks, she still had me.

She didn't care about her weak heart.

She must've really loved my dad.

Then why did she...

kill herself?

Dr. Alice, you study criminal psychology.

You know what goes on in their minds.

Can you tell me what suicidal people are thinking?

This...

this looks like a hat.

It looks like someone was walking past the window.

But the window's quite high,

so you only see the hat.

But then why would someone circle the hat?

Look.

This is the photo taken by forensics after my mom committed suicide.

There are no fallen petals

on the table or the floor.

The vase has disappeared.

And according to the time that the two photos were taken,

they were taken only half an hour apart.

This means

in the half hour that the reporter left and forensics arrived,

somebody cleaned up the petals, and took away the vase.

And that person could be...

her.

So you don't think your mom killed herself.

She was murdered?

Yes.

My dad was attending an overseas medical conference.

I had a fever.

The nanny took me to the doctor.

A mother who had her child despite facing fatal risks

would want to make sure

that her child was okay

before taking her own life.

Sometimes the truth you see

is a mirage.

Perhaps there is a secret story

between your parents and you.

The bones from the backyard

will start to reveal everything.

The police said

they found a second set of human bones

next to the first one.

What?

According to the investigation,

after matching the physical characteristics

of the first body to missing persons,

it is possible

that this is the missing college student from five years ago, Xia Zhi-Huan.

The police also said

there were evident marks of scraping near the eye area.

It's possible that someone

dug out their eyes before or after their death

Dug out their eyes?

Sorry.

I have to go.

Miao.

Miao...

-You-- -I need to go.

I'll meet you later.

Miao.

Xin.

I need to tell you something.

Before Xia Zhi-Huan went missing,

she was last seen with Lin Miao.

-She needs first aid. -What happened?

-Stop the blood, quick... -Wake up.

Mi Chu tried to commit suicide. She's lost a lot of blood.

Hurry up. Notify the operating room.

Hurry up.

Doctor, what's happening now?

At that time, I didn't know Lin Miao.

His ex-girlfriend tried to commit suicide.

She fell into a coma after arriving at the hospital.

After a week, she was gone.

This is the diary.

She seems to have forgotten everything.

She doesn't remember anything?

Remembers nothing.

This is for the best.

It's better not to know,

and not remember.

Life will be happier without those memories.

Over the next three months,

the police suspected him of killing Mi Chu.

He was interrogated as a suspect.

Then his parents

passed away after falling ill.

Miao couldn't take it any longer,

and fell into depression.

He started receiving treatment.

Then we began to date, up until now.

In the three years since we've been together,

I never once heard Miao mention Zhi-Huan.

Miao.

You're back.

Why didn't you say anything about Xia Zhi-Huan?

Even you're suspecting me.

You're no different from the cops.

Miao.

I'm just worried about you.

I just want you to be okay.

Why does something always happen to the girls close to me?

Don't say that.

There was Mi Chu.

And Xia Zhi-Huan.

What if something happens to you...?

Miao.

Let's break up.

I don't want anything to happen to you.

Miao.

I know you didn't kill those girls.

I believe you're innocent.

I'm really confused right now.

Don't talk to me.

Please leave me alone.

-Miao. -Leave me in peace. I'm going home.

Miao.

Bugs, I think I'm guilty.

Or else why would God punish me like this?

Yu Di is dead, Mi Chu is dead.

Now even Zhi-Huan is dead.

They're dead because of me.

If they hadn't known me,

they wouldn't be dead.

Mi Chu, Zhi-Huan, Yu Di.

Oh God, who's Yu Di?

Why are they all dead?

How are they connected to Miao?

And who's Bugs?

XIN, I'M THE FUTURE YOU.

I'M THE EVIL YOU THAT YOU WILL BECOME IN 24 HOURS.

IN 24 HOURS, YOU WILL KILL YOURSELF FOR REDEMPTION.

YOUR DARK SIDE WILL BE REVEALED IN 24 HOURS.

Who is it?

Who sent me this message?

Is it a prank?

Have you heard of mental disorders or multiple personalities?

Of course.

You forget that I study criminal psychology.

Memory loss is a self-protecting mechanism for humans.

So that we can escape from pain,

anger and guilt.

Freud once said

if the mechanism gets overused,

people will start escaping reality, become mentally ill,

or develop an unusual character.

You can find a lot of clinical examples.

A lot of criminology scholars

use this method to avoid punishment.

Even if I didn't want to,

or if I'd feel regret,

I still wouldn't allow this kind of thing to happen.

You've talked a lot. Have some water.

Don't worry. I have a lot of time to talk to you.

Miao.

What are you looking at?

Xia Zhi-Huan.

Zhi-Huan...

she was a pretty girl.

Especially her eyes.

They were beautiful.

Five years ago, I met Zhi-Huan

at a summer camp.

Zhi-Huan.

We got along well.

-And then we became good friends. -Let's go.

Okay.

One day,

I found a letter in the mailbox.

It said on the envelope:

"To: Xia Zhi-Huan."

For you.

Thank you.

-I'm going to the bathroom. -Okay.

After she read the letter,

she left abruptly.

I was tired,

so I fell asleep on the couch.

It got quite late,

but she still didn't come back.

After that,

she never came back.

She mysteriously disappeared.

So this morning when you heard that they dug up human bones

in my backyard,

and that they matched Zhi-Huan,

was that why you were acting weird?

The police treated me as a suspect.

You were Zhi-Huan's close friend.

Did she have any other close friends here?

Five years ago,

the police asked me the same question.

Zhi-Huan was an orphan.

She had no family.

She kept to herself.

She didn't have any friends.

That means

Zhi-Huan didn't really

know anybody here, except you.

Then...

there are only two possibilities.

One is that she was killed by someone she knew.

But you said that she hardly knew anybody.

The other possibility is she was killed by a stranger.

But how would they write to her then?

TO: LIN MIAO

Letter from Bugs.

AUNT MEILUN WENT TO GUAM WITH WEN YA-JING.

THEY SAID THAT THE SKIES WERE SO BLUE, DEEPER THAN ANY SAPPHIRE.

I OFTEN THINK OF ZHI-HUAN, THE GIRL YOU MENTION OFTEN.

DIDN'T THINK YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO MEET SUCH A SPECIAL GIRL AT SUMMER CAMP.

Aunt Meilun, Wen Ya-Jing.

They were mom's best friends.

How would Bugs know them?

Bad ventilation inside the garage

caused the death of college student Yu-Di.

COLLEGE STUDENT YU-DI COMMITS SUICIDE IN CLOSED GARAGE

What are you reading?

No... nothing

I poured you some juice.

I suddenly remembered, I have some things to do.

I'll come by later.

Why do all the girls that get close to Miao...

die?

Also,

why does Miao tell Bugs everything?

What does she know?

TO: LIN MIAO

Miss.

Excuse me, I'm looking for someone who lives there.

Somebody who lives there?

I've lived here quite a while. I've never seen anybody living inside.

I'm sorry.

Nobody has been seen there?

So the Bugs Miao was writing to never existed?

Then, who wrote all those letters?

Wait.

What's this?

Wow, people still write?

Yeah, he likes that. Old school romance.

But you wrote the same address

for the sender and the recipient.

How's anyone going to receive this letter?

Oh right. I made a mistake.

I'm the one receiving letters.

I'm also the one writing the letters.

Miao.

-Miao. -Leave me in peace, I'm going home.

TO: BUGS

TO: MIAO

No, it can't be.

Miao couldn't be the same person as Bugs.

He wouldn't write to himself.

I'M THE EVIL YOU THAT YOU WILL BECOME IN 24 HOURS.

IN 24 HOURS, YOU WILL KILL YOURSELF FOR REDEMPTION.

Do you remember Miao? I mentioned him to you before.

And I told you I didn't know him. Why do you keep mentioning him?

Is he your friend? You want to set me up with him?

No, he's one of my patients.

He has a habit of writing to himself.

Writing to himself?

Does that mean that the sender and the recipient is the same person?

He must have dissociative identity disorder.

Dissociative identity disorder is an illness

that is mental and psychological.

People with identity disorders

will not know about the things

done by their other identities.

If...

we really can't hide it any longer,

we can apply for judicial psychiatric examination.

You already saw the things she's been through

the last few years.

Let's focus on the present.

We let Xin leave as soon as possible.

If she discovers Miao's true identity, it'll be too late.

Sorry for the inconvenience, asking you to come on such short notice.

It's okay, I was looking for you too.

This hat.

HSU MEI-ZHI.

Did you know my mom?

DR. ALICE, BORN IN 1965 GRADUATED FROM FU-REN UNIVERSITY

You went to the same school as my mother.

You were her best friend.

You could say that.

You told me on the phone

that you wanted to talk about Miao.

I'm going to get straight to the point.

I was invited to join the investigation of the bones found in your backyard.

I read over Miao's testimony,

and his files from his psychiatrist.

He doesn't remember the things he did.

Even if someone told him,

he still wouldn't believe he did any of the things he did.

So...

So as his girlfriend

who majors in criminal psychology,

from the symptoms he's showing,

what illness do you think he has?

I think Miao has already displayed

signs of dissociative disorder.

So...

when he dissociates,

he won't remember the things done

by his other identity.

Then...

How long has he been like that?

It could be just the beginning. Or it could have been in incubation.

We don't know for now

the details of the cause or the period of time he's had this.

Could be periodic, or temporary.

So you're telling me this today because...

I wanted to remind you,

all the girls who were hurt,

were girls who were close to Miao.

I wanted you to protect yourself.

Miao.

You're back.

Miao.

What are you burning?

Some old letters.

I don't need them anymore.

I'm burning them all.

COLLEGE STUDENT YU-DI COMMITS SUICIDE IN CLOSED GARAGE

How did Yu-Di die?

How do you know about her?

I...

She was the first girl

I met in college.

I really liked her.

Everything was so perfect.

So joyful.

I don't know why,

when she came home that day...

I'M TIRED OF BEING ALIVE

There's one thing

about Mi Chu

that I didn't tell you.

She couldn't have killed herself.

We were in love.

One day,

she received an anonymous text.

It said, "I love you too."

I thought she was cheating on me.

We got into an argument.

But not long after I left,

I called her again.

I wanted to make up.

She could never have killed herself over the argument.

If she didn't commit suicide,

then who killed her?

I don't know.

She was only a college student.

But I believe her death

has more to it than meets the eye.

Miao.

If you found out who it was

who killed Mi Chu,

what would you do?

If I knew who the murderer was,

I would do all I can

to catch them.

And kill them.

I'M THE EVIL YOU THAT YOU WILL BECOME IN 18 HOURS.

YOUR BELOVED MIAO

WILL DISCOVER THE WHOLE TRUTH.

HE WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU.

HE WILL LOVE YOU NO MORE. FROM THE EVIL YOU IN 18 HOURS.

XIA ZHI-HUAN.

What are you doing?

Where are you going?

You wrote to Zhi-Huan

and found an opportunity to kill her, right?

Did you also kill Mi Chu and Yu Di?

You know what?

I did all this because I love you.

I've loved you for so long,

I had to get them out of the way,

so I could be with you.

I'm calling the police.

-I'm calling the police. -No, you won't.

You can't call the police.

I killed them for you.

We can forget all this.

I can give you so much love.

I can make you happy.

I won't let anyone hurt you.

Never. Please believe me.

Please.

Please believe me.

Please.

I didn't do it on purpose.

I really didn't do it on purpose.

Why did you call the police?

You can't die.

I really didn't do it on purpose...

Why did you call the police?

You can't die.

You must not die.

Xin.

I really do love you.

Xin.

Xin.

Xin.

Xin.

Xin.

Why are you going to talk to her?

We can't lie to her anymore.

If we continue like this,

we'd be exposed as well as Miao.

Then...

Xin will get hurt.

No secrets last forever.

She will know sooner or later.

Are you going to take the risk?

Didn't you say before

that it was better to forget?

But if she doesn't remember now,

we won't be able to prove she has a double personality.

Four lives.

And there could be more.

If she's given the death penalty, it'll all be too late.

Xin will break down for sure.

What exactly

did you tell Xin?

Thirty years ago,

me and your Aunt Meilun,

along with your dad and his then girlfriend, Wen Ya-Jing,

we were all good friends.

So my dad

initially was in love with another woman.

That summer,

your mom came to visit Aunt Meilun.

She met your dad.

It was love at first sight.

Your dad often said that your mom was like a white rose,

elegant and classy.

Ya-Jing was like a red rose,

full of passion.

After a lot of struggle,

your dad finally chose your mom, Mei-Zhi.

Ya-Jing was furious, and decided to move overseas.

Did she keep in contact with my dad?

I wouldn't know.

You might have to ask your parents,

or maybe Aunt Meilun, they'd know.

I want to know, could you get in touch with Aunt Meilun?

That's not possible.

We divorced after one year of marriage.

Let me think.

The last time I saw her was three years ago.

She made a detour so she could go and see your house.

Your call has been redirected to voicemail,

please leave a message after the beep.

What's happening?

Why isn't Miao picking up?

I can't find him anywhere.

I remember the interview from the magazine

mentioned the novel she was close to finishing

was called Love of Roses.

This looks like the manuscript.

Maybe Mom was inspired by

what happened with Ya-Jing,

so she wrote a story about the red and white rose.

But...

Why would Bugs know Ya-Jing and Aunt Meilun?

Daddy's home.

I'M THE EVIL YOU THAT YOU WILL BECOME IN 15 HOURS.

IN 15 HOURS, YOU ARE DESTINED...

TO DIE WITH YOUR GUILT.

THEN YOU WILL BE FREE.

FROM THE EVIL YOU IN 15 HOURS.

Who is this?

Who keeps on sending me those texts?

What happens...

when the time's up?

Why are there eyeballs inside Dad's office?

Ji.

You've been my dad's assistant for many years.

Can you tell me

what my dad's field of study is?

The Director

has always been doing research

on how to keep women young.

He's looked into past research,

and held a lot of clinical trials.

He's cut open many female corpses.

Like, what part?

I mean, what part of the body does he experiment on?

Mainly hair.

Facial skin.

Eyes and heart.

Zhi-Huan had beautiful eyes.

It's possible that someone

dug out their eyes before or after their death.

Yu Di breathed in too much exhaust and fell into a coma.

She was dead before reaching the hospital.

Please put her in intensive care.

They all had connections with Miao.

And they all had connections with Dad.

Quick.

They all got sent here

after their accident.

Xin...

Can you tell me where my dad is right now?

He's in the middle of surgery.

You're lying. I'm going to find him.

Hey, Xin.

He's really in the middle of surgery.

This is an emergency, let me go.

Xin!

Xin.

Long time no see.

You look pale, are you okay?

Don't you remember me?

I'm Dr. Bai, I operated on your heart three years ago.

I watched you grow up.

I've had heart surgery?

You don't know?

You've been taking immunosuppressants every day.

I thought I was on medication for my heart disease.

Xin...

Director.

Let's leave it...

until we get home.

Why did you lie to me?

I had a huge heart operation, why didn't you tell me?

You tried to hide it from me.

I lost my memory,

so you made up a new one for me.

How many lies are you telling me?

What are you keeping from me?

Why is there

a pair of human eyes in your office?

You...

You know everything now.

Have you recovered your lost memories?

It doesn't matter how I know.

The important thing is I know.

Dad.

Tell me the whole truth.

Actually...

You never lived abroad.

I knew it.

You grew up here.

But unfortunately,

you inherited the heart disease

from your mother's side.

If you didn't change your heart,

you could have died at any time.

I didn't think you'd tell me so many lies.

You were often sick,

so growing up, you seldom played with friends your age.

You read books at home.

And physically...

you were a bit...

special.

Your head was stuck during birth.

The doctor was afraid you'd suffocate.

So he got you out using a clamp.

But in the process,

it ruined your head and your face.

You were ashamed, and very introverted.

You never interacted with anybody.

And...

you loved the radio.

I remember,

it was when you were 15.

You met a pen pal

through an event on the radio.

Lin Miao.

You wrote letters to each other for eight years.

I could see

that you were the happiest when writing to him.

So I was Bugs.

The mysterious Bugs was me.

No wonder the letter

mentioned Aunt Meilun and Wen Ya-Jing.

Daddy knows

Lin Miao was your only savior

in this world.

You cared too much about him.

You couldn't live without his letters.

Every time Miao mentioned

a new girl he met,

you'd be in pain.

You'd hit your head against the wall.

I was in agony

to see you like this.

So I didn't dare meet Miao

because I thought I was too ugly?

That's right.

You were very ashamed.

Many times, you wanted to commit suicide.

So I...

So what did you do?

So you killed for me.

-Is that right? -Yes.

I'll do anything for my daughter.

I killed all the girls who were close to Miao.

I transplanted the most beautiful thing they had onto you.

I made you beautiful.

My heart, so my heart is...

You received your heart transplant three years ago.

This heart

belonged to Miao's girlfriend.

Mi Chu.

-Mi Chu didn't die from suicide. -Director.

-She was just... -Director.

sent to my hospital.

Xin is having a heart problem.

Director.

This is the information on the next surgery patient.

If you didn't receive a heart transplant,

the doctor said

you wouldn't live past three days.

ORGAN DONATION FORM

But I couldn't let that happen.

I wanted to see my daughter live.

But who would have thought

that during the transplant,

you would lose a lot of blood.

You had brain anoxia.

You lost your memory.

The heart transplant wasn't a bad thing. Why didn't you want me to know?

When you woke up after the surgery,

I realized you didn't remember anything.

But we all thought

it was better for you

to live on like this.

So we decided

not to let you know.

We also moved.

Dr. Alice said

the murderer will subconsciously hide their whereabouts.

Miao kept on saying Xia Zhi-Huan's eyes were beautiful.

And you told me,

you never wanted to see her eyes.

So...

There were evident marks of scraping near the eye area.

Someone dug out their eyes before or after their death.

You killed for me.

You dug out other people's eyes.

That's terrifying, that's evil.

Maybe...

this day should have come sooner.

I walked into the office today

and found the top drawer open.

I knew then

that you must've found something.

I couldn't lie to you any longer.

Don't worry.

I'll turn myself in.

I won't give you any trouble.

This is terrifying.

You're terrifying.

You're terrifying!

I'M THE EVIL YOU

YOU WILL BECOME IN 10 HOURS.

TOMORROW, YOUR BELOVED MIAO WILL KNOW YOU KILLED THE THREE GIRLS

CLOSEST TO HIM. YOUR ONLY CHOICE IS TO DIE.

FROM YOU IN 10 HOURS.

I'm guilty.

I may not have killed,

but these three girls died because of me.

How would I be able to face Miao again?

XIN

Xin.

I'll be gone.

Daddy will no longer be by your side.

Take care of yourself.

Take care of your heart.

Remember to take your medication every day.

Dad.

Come eat.

You lost your mom at such a young age.

I don't know when it all began,

but we became distant.

I hope you can understand

that I do love you.

But there's too much pain to tell you.

Xin.

Be well.

Daddy will do anything...

anything...

to make you happy.

On the way to the police station to turn himself in, he had an accident.

He died at the scene...

And left me forever.

And my dear boyfriend

will never know the truth.

Dissociative identity disorder,

DID for short, is also known as multiple personalities.

Usually it occurs from trauma during childhood years,

when one is unable to handle the shock at a young age.

So they learn to empty themselves,

and jump out of the situation.

In order to face the situation,

a new identity is generated to substitute the original one,

and face the situation.

Ke-Ching?

Are you okay?

It's so hard to be a woman sometimes.

You give your life and soul to love,

but in return, you receive nothing but pain.

Looking at this painting here,

it reminds me of my mother.

She committed suicide when I was little.

It could've also been for love

that she decided to take her own life.

Xin.

I know you want to be alone. I'm leaving.

I just wanted to give you something.

Your dad gave this to me three years ago.

I think you should have it back.

August 23rd, 2009. Weather: cloudy.

I think I also have light skin.

Why does Miao always praise Yu Di?

Doesn't he know I'm better than her? I know him best.

August 24th, 2009. Weather: cloudy.

I can't stand Miao always talking about Yu Di.

August 25th, 2009. I must make her disappear tomorrow.

This is my diary.

I'll start her car, and close the garage.

If Miao would only stop talking about this beautiful girl with light clear skin.

I'M TIRED OF BEING ALIVE

I LOVE YOU TOO

Mi Chu tried to commit suicide. She's lost a lot of blood.

Hurry up.

Notify the operation room, quick.

I'll do anything for my daughter.

I'll turn myself in tomorrow.

I won't give you any trouble.

Dad took the blame for me.

If I knew who the murderer was, I would do all that I can

to catch them.

And kill them.

Miao...

he will never forgive me.

If you are reading this letter,

it means that I am no longer alive.

I hope you have good memories of me.

IF YOU ARE READING THIS LETTER, IT MEANS THAT I AM NO LONGER ALIVE.

I HOPE YOU HAVE GOOD MEMORIES OF ME.

My farewell letter is wet from my tears.

Mom's farewell letter

was wet from something that spilled.

She could've spilled water.

There was a vase with roses in it.

If she broke the vase and the water was spilled,

why did they clean up the spilled water?

Why did they clean up the spilled water?

They even took away the white roses.

The murderer will subconsciously hide their whereabouts.

You shot and killed my mom.

You spilled the water from the vase.

And my mom's blood

was sprayed on top of the white rose petals.

And they became red.

You couldn't keep it to yourself, could you?

Dr. Alice.

Or should I call you, Wen Ya-Jing.

Mom was the white rose, and you were the red rose.

The murderer will subconsciously hide their whereabouts.

You sent me those texts, didn't you?

Your paper was about crime incitement.

You want me to commit suicide.

I believe one's mind can be controlled.

That's why we're able to decipher actions. And that's why crime incitement exists.

Why would I do this?

You killed Aunt Meilun.

Wasn't she the first body that they discovered in my backyard?

You killed her, right?

Because she discovered the hat like I did.

Did you kill my dad?

Was it also you?

And...

you were afraid I'd find out.

So you used the diary and texted me to make me commit suicide.

Your dad...

he is alive.

Bullshit.

I don't believe you. I'm calling the police.

Xin.

I didn't write the ending.

You wrote it yourself.

Because you felt guilty.

You really wrote those diary entries.

Your Aunt Meilun hasn't been in touch

with Uncle Li for three years.

She's remarried.

And I have never done any surgery on your features.

You have always looked like this.

Everything...

was a product of your own fantasy.

I don't believe you.

I don't believe you.

That's impossible.

That's impossible.

This is not me.

This is not me.

Xin, you never got together with Miao.

He never fell in love with you.

In fact,

after you told him about how you felt for him,

he rejected you.

Miao is dead.

You imagined all this.

You're lying.

This is not real.

Let's see what he's up to. Let's go.

Oh my gosh.

You are Evil Xin,

your main identity.

You killed all the girls close to Miao,

but he still didn't love you.

So you killed him too.

You couldn't face the reality,

so you experienced memory loss.

This is the diary.

She seems to have forgotten everything.

Xin has forgotten everything.

She can't remember anything?

You made up a nice dream for yourself,

and wove in your fantasies with Miao.

You thought you two were in love.

I didn't mean to.

Memory loss is a self-protecting mechanism for humans,

so that we can escape from pain and guilt.

One of the bodies

found in our backyard

was Miao.

You killed him,

and put him in a box.

Why did they all leave me?

Now everything is connected to me.

Everybody is afraid of me.

Nobody dares to get close to me.

They treat me as if I'm a murderer.

Why?

You still have me.

I'm not like those girls. I will love you more than they ever could.

I promise not to leave you like that.

If you really do love me...

Tonight...

come to my place.

Miao.

Miao.

Did you take all those pictures?

And this bracelet

must be yours.

Mi Chu didn't commit suicide.

You killed her.

And Xia Zhi-Huan.

You wrote her a letter asking to meet up.

And then you killed her.

Miao.

You murderer.

You know...

I did all this

because I love you.

I've loved you for so long.

I killed them so I could be with you.

You...

This is horrible. I'm calling the police.

Don't.

Don't call the police. I killed them for you.

We can forget all this and start fresh.

I'll give you plenty of love, lots of joy.

I won't let anyone hurt you.

Please trust me.

Please trust me.

This is terrible.

This is terrible.

I really do love you.

I really do love you.

This is terrible.

I didn't do it on purpose.

I didn't do it on purpose.

I'm sorry.

I didn't do it on purpose.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Don't die...

Miao.

Miao.

Miao!

The psychiatric examination

shows that Yeh Xin has a psychological disorder.

She should be exempted from trial.

I suggest that she gets moved to a mental facility,

and that she receives long-term treatment in safe custody.

Yeh Xin's mom didn't give her good looks,

so she hated her mom for that.

She has erased her mom's image from her memory.

And since she has seen a picture

of her parents and Wen Ya-Jing at home,

she made Ya-Jing her imaginary mom.

Though in reality, Ya-Jing is no longer

part of her life.

Coincidentally, her mom was a guest professor

at an American university back then.

She lived abroad,

so in her memory, she remembers

that she was the famous Asian psychologist, Dr. Alice.

She admired her.

You went to the same school as my mother.

I was in her class. I am her.

Xin also thinks that her dad is guilty,

because he was unable to prevent her distorted features

during her birth.

So in her imagination,

her dad died taking the blame for her.

You said you made her take medication,

and had her meet with the psychiatrist.

You wanted her to merge her identities.

So who's left in her body now?

The evil Xin?

Or the real Xin?

THREE YEARS LATER

The doctor would like to see you.

For the past three years,

I have talked to you various times.

But every time,

you appear with a different identity.

And every identity has a name.

So tell me now,

who am I speaking to?

That's not important.

The important thing is, how to leave this damn place.

I've been here long enough.

Actually, if you promise that you're getting better,

you'll be out in no time.

Doctor, I'm sorry. I did something awful.

-Very, very awful-- -Let me tell you.

-I've seen her do some bad things-- -Fuck you.

If you don't let me out, I'll kill your family.

Now tell me, who are you?

Why so many questions?

You're not a very professional doctor.

You can only leave here if you work on your willpower.

We're not afraid of committing another crime.

There will be no death penalty.

There are so many bad judges out there.

How long do I have to be in here for?

They've got no brains.

According to current law, we won't be in prison for too long.

-The voices you hear now... -When are you going to let me out?

are the voices in your head.

-They are controlling you. -Hey, I'm warning you.

-They're not real. -Shut up.

-I know who you are, you're like us. -Come back.

When can I get out?

-You don't know. -I'm busy.

-Is it because you're drunk? -All you do is talk.

-Don't panic. -I'm normal, can I go home now?

-Somebody take charge of the mess. -Come back.

-My surname is Yeh, but I forgot-- -Tell me...

-What's the first name? -Who are you?

-I want to go home. -Get up there.

Quiet.

Quiet, everybody.

Come back.

-How long do I have to be in here for? -Tell me...

That's enough!

Shut up!

I'm here to help you.

If you keep up the chaos,

I won't be able to help.

The only way to leave here,

is for everyone to stay together.

Now, please let us continue.

Don't disturb us.

All right?

Here, don't be scared.

Answer me.

Who are you?

My name is Yeh Xin.

Some people call me Xin.

I'm glad you're back.

-Xin. -Thank you, doctor.

It's good to be back.

It might take longer this time.

Yes.

-I know. -Good.

We may begin.

You look good today, Xin.

The goal of our assessment today

is to discharge you if you answer the questions correctly.

I'm going to ask you a few questions.

First of all, you're going to leave.

How do you feel about that?

I feel touched. Thank you for taking care of me,

Dr. An.
