01x01 - Derailment #1

Post by bunniefuu »

Another rail accident has happened.

The police and the TRA
initially identified

that the cause of the derailment was

the fishplate on the railway
that was pried up

and the screws were also removed.

They believe it is another crime
committed by the railroad geek.

Besides, this isn't the first.

Over the past two years,
there have been total of six cases.

-On 23rd June 1992,

iron blocks were placed

one kilometer south of Toucheng Station.

-Two months later, at Sicheng Station...

...the rail clips at the south exit
were removed.

-But the culprit did not stop.

The same year,
12th September and 18th October,

rail clips were stolen again.

The culprit has committed
numerous crimes,

and almost all of them happened

on the North Link Line,
between Toucheng and Sicheng Station.

If the culprit is not arrested sooner,

the public can never
take the train with peace of mind.

Hey, Assistant Manager Qiu.

How's your investigation on my client?

-To pay or not to pay?
-Which client?

-Mr. Ke.

-You mean Ke Yong-Fu.
-Yes.

According to my investigation
this morning,

it is not certain to pay or not.

Detective Qiu, did you wake up too early?
Your mind isn't clear, is it?

Now, there are two facts.
See which one you want to believe.

-Huh?
-According to Mr. Ke's claim,

he accidently fell when he was
carrying heavy loads at work.

It fractured the fifth vertebral arch,
hospitalized for 17 days.

But our claims adjuster told me

his injuries were caused by bone spurs,
not by external force.

So, it is not qualified
as an accidental injury claim...

I already knew all of this.

-That's what the review center said.

But his attending physician, Luo Ming-Wu,
said everyone has bone spurs.

The bone spur cannot cause
the fifth vertebral arch to rupture.

Mr. Ke's injury was clearly accidental.

They even have a diagnosis certificate.

So...

It is for you to choose
which one is the truth.

No, no, no.
I’m just an insurance guy.

Mr. Ke has no son.
I sure hope he gets paid.

Then tell me, what is the truth?

The truth will not change.

But people only want to see
what they believe.

So, to pay or not to pay?

Of course we pay. When did we not pay?

Director Xiao is concerned about

the customer's business
more than anything, right?

No, I'm embarrassed for you to say that.

Hey.

Let's talk a little more.

CLAIMS INVESTIGATION DEPARTMENT

-You're back.
-Yeah.

This is a recording of Mr. Ke's
accidental injury report from Dr. Luo.

Please make it organized.

Didn't Dr. Luo go out fishing
at five o'clock?

Yeah.

I treated him to breakfast
before he goes to the sea.

Assistant Manager,
did you go to Yilan this morning?

Yeah.

I bought lunch for you on the way back.

Thank you.

By the way, that...

The accident case of Chen Jia-Wen
falling from a building...

Her mother came to the company again.

That's no accident.

On-site investigation has confirmed
she jumped by herself.

Here.

What is this?

Photos of her boyfriend cheating.

They broke up three days before
she jumped off the building.

If the family can't accept that
their daughter has committed suicide,

why don't they go to the prosecutor?

Why keep coming to our claims department?

Do you think her family
doesn't care about money?

Assistant Manager, I really think
the company should give you a raise

or give you a bonus.

You are so amazing.
You saved the company a lot of money.

ONE NEW MESSAGE

ZHAO YAN-JIE
I INVITED CHEN-LANG FOR DINNER TONIGHT

Zhao Yan-Jie.

-Sorry.

I said we should buy a house.
It didn't have to be next to the MRT.

-Now you see...
-Okay, we have a guest here.

-Guest?
-Yes.

You treat him as a guest?
How long have you known him?

Ten years, right? Ten years.

-Hm.
-More than that.

A hundred years.

-10,000 years.
-Okay, come on.

Welcome. Welcome home for two years.

You just got promoted to prosecutor.
Getting used to it?

Not bad.

That's it?

I thought you'd be grown up now
and you'd elaborate more.

What does that have to do
with growing up?

-Qiu Wen-Qing.
-Huh?

Where's your ring?

I lost it.

I went to the beach the other day.
I lost it there somehow.

Yep. I've been asking her
to buy another pair.

She said no.

No, that's a waste of money.

It's just a ring.

Was it the beach we used to go?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Damn memories.

You guys have been married
for a while now.

Do you plan to have a baby next?
Let me be the godfather.

-We...
-We're in no rush.

Yup.

We are in no rush.

You are not planning to?

No.

-No.

Here we go again.

Are we the only ones
who thinks it's weird, Zhao Yan-Jie?

No, everyone is like this.

How's your leg?

It's all right, old trouble.

Fortunately, you are by her side.

Fortunately, you went to America
soon enough.

-Otherwise, I wouldn't have been with her.

Qiu Wen-Qing, isn't she hard to chase?

It was all right.

It was a while after you went to America.

She suddenly asked me
if I wanted to marry her.

You must be very happy then.

Of course.

By the way, that thing about you.

What happened afterward?

Oh.

It's been off for a while, but there
should be a way to deal with it now.

Please keep it a secret.

-Don't let her know.
-Okay.

Deal with it quickly.
Otherwise, the two of you...

Yes, I will find some time to talk to her.

-Okay.
-Drive safe.

-Okay.
-Yeah.

-See you around, bye.
-Bye.

You going on a business trip?

Yes, going to Hualien.

There is a client situation.

Your company seems to be busy lately.

Yes, there are many cases lately.

Well, drive safe.

I'll take the train.

I sent my old car for repairs.

Do you want me
to take you to the station?

It's okay, I'll just call a cab.

Oh, by the way,
when I'm back, let's find a time...

-Oh.

-Finally called.

Hello?

Okay, I'll handle it.

Send me the address.

Okay, I'll handle it.

Yeah, please continue.

I MISSED THE TRAIN
WILL WAIT FOR THE NEXT ONE

SENDING

SAFETY FIRST

Thank you.

Forgetting to bring a lighter...

is likely to bring bad luck all day.

It's okay, keep it.

Thank you.

Bye.

-Bye.
-Goodbye.

Hello, this is the voicemail.
Please leave a message after the beep.

-Hey, where are you?

I'll pick you up.

-Hello?
This is the Yilan Police Station.

Is this Miss Qiu Wen-Qing?

Yes.

The train derailed and overturned.

Your husband is in the hospital now.

Three derailed carriages...

RAIL ACCIDENT ON NORTH LINK LINE

...fell to the hillside beside the rails.
The whole train is destroyed,

including the front and four carriages.

Juguang train, number 96,

was on the way from Badu

to Yilan, when it encountered...

-Excuse me, I...
-...a serious derailment

while passing the downhill section.

EMTs are at the scene,
rescuing the passengers one by one.

There are more than
200 passengers on the train.

The accident caused
serious injuries to the driver

and two passengers, and they
have been rushed to the hospital.

Excuse me.

...did not expect a serious accident
like this at 9:49 p.m.

POLICE AND FIREFIGHTERS
ON SCENE RESCUE

-Excuse me. I'm a patient's family.
Let's go to put out the fire!

May I know Zhao Yan-Jie's room number?

Zhao Yan-Jie, one moment please.

Which of them are here?

He's in room 206.
-Okay, thank you.

Dad.

-Dad, wake up. Dad.

Dad!

Doctor! Doctor! Here!

-Dad! Wake up, Dad!
Please get out of the way.

What happened?

-Mr. Lin! Mr. Lin!

HTS. Prepare for BT and ECG...

Are you Zhao Yan-Jie's family?

He was unconscious
at the scene of the accident.

We found severe intracranial hemorrhage
after examination.

He needs surgery as soon as possible.

The bleeding is very close
to the brain stem.

His life is in danger.

Wen-Qing.

Chen-Lang.

How could this happen?

We just had dinner together.

He told me he was coming back and...

Don't overthink it. It'll be all right.

He will get over it, okay?

It'll be all right.

Assistant Manager Qiu.

Director Xiao?

Why are you here?

An old client of mine
was also on the train.

He just passed away.

Why is there derailing so often?

Wasn't your husband also on that train?

The doctors are treating him.

All right, I need to get things done.

It's all right, it's all right.

Who is he?

The director of our business department.

Hello?

The passenger on the derailed train
has passed away.

Tell the medical examiner to suspend
issuing the death certificate

and arrange re-examination.

I suspect this isn't just an accident.

Check if there's something missing

and get me the information
of the deceased.

Good.

IN OPERATION

Yan-Jie! Yan-Jie!

Ma'am, please wait a moment.

Doctor, my husband, he...

One moment.

Ma'am, excuse me.

This is your husband's belongings.

He is still in a coma.

We need you to fill out
the consent for ICU,

and please hand it in at the counter.

Thank you.

Hello?

How did the surgery go?

He's still in a coma and in the ICU.

You take care.

Go back and get some rest.

Okay.

I'll go back to the office later
to bring the work with me.

Hey, I have something to tell you.

The train passenger who passed away
in the hospital is Lin Dong-Shan.

I found out that he bought some insurance
from your company.

I don't think this was an accident.

What do you mean?

The track was damaged a couple months ago.

And another time,
so this is the third time.

I suspect it's an insurance fraud.

Do you have the proof?

That’s why I need your help.

What kind of help?

I want to access
Lin Dong-Shan's claims information.

I need you.

Hmm. Let me sort it out
and get back to you, okay?

Well, take care of your stuff first.

If you need anything, just tell me.

Okay.

ANSHIN LIFE INSURANCE CO. LTD
LIN DONG-SHAN

-Hey, Director Xiao.
-Huh?

I want to ask you something.

Are you familiar with Lin Dong-Shan?

Not really.

I've known him for a long time though.

Did he buy insurance from you?

What?

Lin Dong-Shan recently bought insurance
with the company.

Did he come to you for that?

He said he wanted an insurance
in case something happens,

so he won't leave a burden on his sons.

How about his profile?

Did you give it to the inspection unit?

I am dealing with it.

I went to the hospital to see his son.

He's very forgetful, so annoying.

Are you accepting his late submission?

It's just... just some
supplementary signatures.

No... no big deal.

Director Xiao,
do you want me to report you?

Uh... Detective,
please don't be suspicious.

You see, he has a bit bad temper,

but he is very nice to his friends.

What about his two sons?
What are their backgrounds?

His two sons... The younger son, Wen,
got into the medical school,

but they can't afford his tuition fee.

So he went to be a conductor
at the train station.

We have packages for you to choose from.

Please take a look.

My dad doesn't like extravagance.

Is there something simpler?

No money?

No, I mean, this is the ritual.

It's necessary to spend some money.

What about the other one?

The eldest son...

I think his name is Qing.

He didn't do well in school.

He usually helps his father
with some construction work

and works on some part-time jobs
the rest of the time.

Construction site, dirty work,
he's willing to do anything.

We have already decided.

What is it?

Is that enough?

Yes.

Where did you get the money?

I'll tell you later.

You go through the process with him first.

If his company hadn't closed down
and owed a lot of debt,

he still wanted to do
business or something.

Such a pity.

Oh, that's right.

Lin Dong-Shan
is about to be cremated today.

I'm going to prepare his files.

You have a good rest, okay?

Cremated today?

The fourth nail.

May your house be filled
with gold and silver.

Yes!
-The last nail.

May your family make a lot of money.

Yes!

After this ritual,
the deceased will have no grievances.

Come, the eldest son,
please take off the nail.

You do it.

He said the eldest son.

I said you do it.

You go do it.

I don't know how. You do it.

I said you do it.

That's it.

Dad.

I'll take care of it for you.

You have a good rest
and please don't be mad.

Forget about this!
What are you doing?

-Go away! Go away!
-Hey!

-What are you doing!
- Just go!

Pain free!

-Hurry up!
-It was an accident!

Damn it, an accident!

Damn it, train accident!

-Go! Go!
-Okay, that's enough!

Go!

Go!

At zero hour today,
Mr. Lin Dong-Shan,

well rested,

is ready for cremation
and to leave this world.

Ascend to heaven peacefully
following Taiyi, the rescuing God.

Dad.

You will not hurt anymore.

-You can go peacefully.

Go quickly when the fire comes.

Please wait, the parking lot is full.

Please wait,
the deceased will not run away.

-Police business.
-Police has to wait too! Hey!

Stop the cremation!

I'm the prosecutor in charge.
Stop everything.

-Damn, what's that matter now?

Were you on board when the train derailed?

-Yes.
-In which car?

The third car.

Where was your dad?

Did you not sit together?

We were sitting together in the third car.

But there was a child crying
and it was very noisy,

so we went to the fourth car.

I forgot to take my luggage,
so I went back to the third car to get it.

Then the train derailed.

Did you work in the TRA?

-Yes.
-What was your position?

Conductor.

Before becoming a conductor,

you worked as a trackman
for two years, right?

Explain to me.

Under what circumstances
would a train derail?

Why are you asking this?

I worked at the TRA for so long.
The trains often derail.

It's just that someone died this time.

So? What's that to do with me?

I suspect the m*rder*r
used the previous derailing

as practice for this one.

It's possible.

I know what's going on in my family.

You don't have to call me here
to remind me that I am in debt.

Four insurance policies.

Your brother, Lin Xue-Wen,
is the beneficiary for all of them.

LIN XUE-WEN

LIN XUE-WEN

So what?

Is this ill*gal?

Your dad owes the bank
and the underground bank a lot of money.

My dad invested in a lot of stuff.

He took construction projects too.

How would I know how much he owes?

What underground bank?

LOAN AGREEMENT

47.8 million in total.

In the past six months, he has
insured from three insurance companies.

Then the train derailed.

All these things happened together.

Wouldn't it be too coincidental?

The derailing wasn't an accident, was it?

Your brother said he didn't know you paid
the underground bank for your father.

Let me ask you.

At the accident scene,

there were dozens of loose rail clips.

What's your opinion?

Are you asking how they got loose?

I think someone broke them.

How long does it take to
break a rail clip?

It depends on a veteran or a novice.

What is the difference?

For veterans, it's about 30 seconds.

But for a novice,
it takes more than a minute.

It was less than 30 minutes

between the last train
and the derailed train.

It would take a veteran to break
the dozens of rail clips.

You worked as a trackman for two years.

Can I consider you to be a veteran?

A lot of other trackmen
worked for more than two years.

But you are the only one...

who would benefit the most...

from the insurance claim.

That isn't right.

Wait a minute, are you mistaken?

Just because I was a trackman
for over two years, then...

then you think I'm the m*rder*r?

Relax.

We're just talking.

The three of us were on the train
when it happened.

How do you expect me to destroy the rails?

And who would be so stupid...

to mess with the train you're on?

It's hard to say.

So...

do you have any evidence?

Hmm?

BEGIN A NEW LIFE

You can leave now.

Stay at home. Don't come out.

You'll be summoned anytime.

You think Lin Xue-Wen
created this accident

to get the insurance money?

Hmm.

This is so unreasonable.

It is only my instinct.

I just don't have any evidence yet.

So, it's just your assumption?

Let's go, what are you looking at?

Yan-Jie will wake up.

The doctor said even if he woke up...

he might be...

DONG-SHAN ENGINEERING

Why didn't you tell me?

The underground bank.

What underground bank?

Didn't you tell Dad
about the underground bank?

-What about it?

The bank wouldn't lend us money.
Damn it! Dad was in a lot of debt.

We can't pay the million dollars
of contract violating penalties.

If we don't pay off the debt,
not only the factory,

but our house will be seized.

Didn't you guys make
some investments or buy stock?

We lost all of them.

The underground bank.

Come on, the underground bank.

Have you thought about
how high their interest rate is?

What were you thinking?

-Were you out of your mind?
-That's right.

Did you ever care
about the money at home?

The gangs come to collect money every day.

You think I like living like this?

Damn it! If Dad wasn't that unlucky

with construction project problems,
I would have been a doctor already.

Take it.

You are the beneficiary
of all his insurance policies, you know?

What are you talking about?

I am the beneficiary, so what?

-What?
-Lin Xue-Wen, you...

What about me?

You better not say
one more word about Dad.

Don't you dare.

Fine.

-Damn it!

-Hello?
Hello? Is this Mrs. Zhao?

I'm the personnel director
of the Legal Department.

Yes, that's me.

I'd like to inform you
about the company's decision.

Although the accident happened
during Commissioner Zhao's vacation,

you can still apply
for a company insurance claim.

Vacation?

Didn't he...

Didn't he go on a business trip?

From the information I received,

he was on vacation yesterday
and the day before.

TAIWAN RAILWAY ADMINISTRATION
MUDAN TO YILAN

Hi, can this phone be repaired?

This model is too old to repair.

How about I check it for you
and let you know later?

I have some important
information on the phone.

When can you get it done?

I can't promise you
when it can be done.

Wen-Qing.

Why are you here?

This is Lin Dong-Shan's EMS record
from the hospital.

His external injury

was unlikely to cause a hemorrhagic shock.

That night, did you find anything strange

about Lin Xue-Wen and his brother?

They were arguing that day.

Shortly after Lin Xue-Wen went in,

-the paramedics arrived.
-Doctor! Here! Here!

-Dad! Wake up, Dad!
Please get out of the way.

How is he?

How long was he in there?

Probably less than ten seconds.

You can do a lot in ten seconds.

You can be a witness in this matter.

Have you decided?

About what?

To help me investigate,

to find out the truth for Yan-Jie.

I'll see what I can do.

Is Yan-Jie still in the ICU?

Yeah, the doctor said
he needs more observation.

His coma index is not very good now.

He'll be fine. Don't worry.

Go back and get some rest.

-You too, drive safe.
-Hmm.

Hey!

Keep it down!

That's strange.

Why did the inspector want to arrest
Lin Xue-Wen suddenly?

-Let me ask you.
-Yeah?

If you sabotaged the rails...

and you were also on the train,
would you be afraid?

Of course, I would.
I'd not even board the train.

Do you think Lin Xue-Wen is so good...

that he can even calculate
which car will be derailed?

Isn't he more than
just a station conductor then?

Get him!

Keep up!

Lin Xue-Wen!

Stop! Lin Xue-Wen!

-Stop!

Hey.

Turn.

Turn. Hurry up!

-Go up...
-Ahh!

-Be careful!
-Can't make the turn!

Do it now! Hurry up!

Hey.

Stop, Lin Xue-Wen!

-Go get him!

Quick!

Stop!

Lin Xue-Wen, stop!

Stop!

Freeze or I'll sh**t!

-Get down!

Get down!

Ma, cuff him!

Get down!

Damn it! You're Lin Xue-Qing!

What were you doing?

Am I breaking the law?

Then why the hell did you run?

I ran because you guys were chasing me.

What do you expect me to do?

-What should we do?
-Cuff him up and take him in!

Call for support!

Get up!

Get up!

Mr. Prosecutor.

We are doing our best
to search for Lin Xue-Wen.

Good.

WISHING YOU GOOD HEALTH
AND PROSPERITY

Mr. Prosecutor.

FORTUNE AND LUCK

RAILWAY ENGINEERING

My brother won't be in the drawer.

When you went out...

was Lin Xue-Wen here?

Yeah.

Why did you run?

I was just going out.

I saw your people and car.

I thought it was the underground bank.

So you knew your brother
borrowed a lot of money

from the underground bank for your father?

He is now the most suspected
in this case.

What do you mean by that?

Don't worry.

Once we have an autopsy
on Lin Dong-Shan's body,

we will know the answer.

I want brother to teach me
how to clean the fish.

Hey.

Shut up.

Stop talking back.

It's your brother's job to clean the fish.

He doesn't like to study.

Do you want to be like him too?

-How dare you talk back, you unworthy son!

The hospital report is out.

My dad was in a hemorrhagic shock.

Which word are you missing?

You can disagree.

But we have asked the forensic doctor
to re-examine the judicial examination.

g*dd*mn it!

What are you doing? Hey!

My dad hates people touching him.

-An autopsy? How dare you?
Hey! Hey!

Mr. Prosecutor.
We've searched around, he's not here.

-Apply for an arrest warrant.
-Okay.

Whatever your brother did...

your father's body will soon tell us.

g*dd*mn it!

The rail accident shocks the nation,

leaving one passenger dead,
one seriously injured.

Police suspect railroad tracks
were sabotaged...

...and the son
of the deceased Lin Dong-Shan,

Lin Xue-Wen,

created this accident
for the insurance money...

-Hello?
Hello? Hey, Qing.

Is your dad's body
still in the custody of the prosecutor?

The remarks sparked nationwide uproar.

That prosecutor insists
an autopsy on my dad's body.

What are they trying to do?

That's all right. Don't be pissed.

This case is a bit troublesome.

Who doesn't know that?

No, listen to me.

Go to the hospital now.

Get your dad's reports, surgical records
and all that stuff for me.

I will think of some other ways for you.

Now it's not just the police.

Our company is also investigating,
which is very troublesome.

Have you seen Lin Xue-Wen?

The police suspect he's the culprit.
What do you have to say?

Mrs. Zhao, do you hate
the person who sabotaged the rail?

Mrs. Zhao, please stay!

Can I ask you a few questions?

Mrs. Zhao, may I ask...

FAMILY OF SERIOUSLY INJURED PASSENGER

Let's look back on August 26

and witness the first gold medal
in Taiwan's Olympic history.

After a long wait of 72 years,

finally, the first gold medal
in Taiwan's Olympic history

was won by 25-year-old Chen Shih-Hsin
after winning four games in a row.

She withstood a right ankle foot injury

in the women's 49-kilogram category

and won the first gold medal for Taiwan.

And 15 minutes later,

Chu Mu-Yen, who's in
men's under 58-kilogram class,

showed his amazing skills
in taekwondo fly kick

and won another gold medal for Taiwan.

He also earned himself
the nickname "Taiwan Bruce Lee"...

Mrs. Zhao, please stay!

Can I ask you a few questions?

Have you seen Lin Xue-Wen?

The police suspect he's the culprit.
What do you have to say?

-Mrs. Zhao...
