01x03 - Episode 3

[bunniefuu]

I really don't get it.

You're such an educated man.

Why would you do this?

So damn handsome.

Don't look at me.

Your wife must love you.

How about kids?

Do you have kids?

Hey, you can

Fine.

You don't have to answer.

It's clear what happened.

I'm giving you

a chance to defend yourself.

Did you work it out?

Stop looking at me!

Do you know what both the idioms are?

No one in the precinct worked it out?

I'm warning you.

Enough of your games.

Who would k*ll for a dumb reason

like miswriting an idiom?

Tell me what the real reason was.

On May 3rd, 1997,

there was an architect in Japan

who tried to blow up

the building he designed.

The reason was

it wasn't perfectly symmetrical.

They made a movie of it.

HSU SHUI-YUAN

Is that a dumb reason?

Confucius said,

"To k*ll without educating is cruelty."

He meant,

that if you neglect a person's education

and k*ll him when he makes a mistake,

then that is wrong.

But I educated them.

Why can't I k*ll them?

I'll tell you since you can't work it out.

The first idiom

is "go where others fear to tread."

That kid

wrote it as

Where others fear to "head."

Isn't it the word "head?"

No.

Your hand is shaking. Put that down.

So what?

Everyone makes mistakes.

You're probably indirectly responsible

for the second death, Madam.

If this case was handled

by someone with better Chinese,

they might have realized

that it was related to miswritten words

and targeted me earlier.

I wouldn't have had time

to k*ll again then. So,

does Chinese literacy really

not matter?

So what if my Chinese sucks?

I still managed to catch you, didn't I?

Only because

I miscalculated when you'd arrive.

Look.

Your poor Chinese

led to a student's death.

And I'm here now because I'm bad at math.

That's why studying hard is so important.

I guess you didn't work out

the second idiom either?

Do you want to know?

No.

Are you sure?

The reporters might ask later.

The reporters will ask.

What is it?

I'll only tell you.

Come in, have a seat.

I have a question.

You want to take the credit too?

No.

What's the movie about that architect?

Hello, Gia g*n Precinct.

All our officers are busy. Please hold.

I'm Lin Pai-sheng, Mogi Yumi's manager.

I know who k*lled her.

Mr. Lin, falsely reporting a crime

is punishable by law.

You could do time or get a hefty fine.

Mogi Yumi clashed

with a fan before her death.

His name is Hsieh Cheng-ta.

He lives in 21 Hengchiu Apartments,

12th floor.

I have the search warrant.

Captain.

Hey, we've got the search warrant.

Special Ops Team is ready.

Okay, got it. Where's Wu Ming-han?

Is he there yet?

Oh, I forgot to tell you.

Ming-han said

he has something more important to do.

What? What could be more important?

He said I'd tell you,

so he wouldn't tell me.

Shao-nien, move out. I'll be right there.

Wu Ming-han, you b*stard!

Keep a low profile on this mission.

Don't disturb people.

No shouting.

Do you hear me?

-Yes!

-Go!

What're you doing?

When practicing

Want some?

Saved from all suffering

RESTRICTED AREA, NO ENTRY

You can't run from me!

No running in the hallway.

"Officers are permitted to use firearms

according to the circumstances they face."

"Shots may be fired in the

following circumstances."

"When facing deadly weapons"

Then

Your first time?

"Or dangerous persons

that harm or threaten police officers"

Clear.

All clear.

Ready.

Move.

Just turn it.

There's no budget.

How can we not have a

We didn't have time to apply for one.

You can talk to

MOGI YUMI

Shao-nien.

Shao-nien.

Is there a corpse

f*ck.

Get up.

FRAUD

f*ck OFF

GO DIE

Stop the car.

YUMI'S LIP PRINT, KISS OF LOVE

Clear, over.

The body of underground idol Mogi Yumi,

who was found at her home

yesterday afternoon,

has been sent to the mortuary

after a forensic autopsy.

Her family in Japan has been notified.

FOODFOXY: NEW ORDER NEARBY

They will arrive in Taiwan tonight

ACCEP

to handle things.

ORDER ACCEPTED

According to reliable sources,

the police have targeted

a 38-year-old suspect surnamed Hsieh.

A large-scale manhunt

was conducted earlier today

in Zhongzheng District,

but was unsuccessful.

From videos taken by those at the scene,

it is clear that the police's actions

have led to great public panic

and distress.

Were the GGP's actions

really necessary in this case?

For further updates, please

Did you sleep well?

It's you.

After all this time,

you still look exactly the same.

My wife says I've always had an old face.

What's your position now?

Precinct Chief.

Gia g*n Precinct Chief.

Oh?

You really managed

to reach your full potential.

Do you remember mentioning a movie

the day you were arrested?

It took me ages to find it.

Turned out to be

a film adaption of Detective Conan.

Right?

I went to all that effort

over a stupid joke.

It's a really good movie.

You've written something

on the wall of the cell.

You're not trying

to mess with us again, are you?

Aren't you the one who brought me here?

Tell me.

How did you know what the next idiom was?

I guessed.

You guessed?

No one but you could have guessed that?

Of course, I have my own methods.

What? Tell me.

Is that beautiful Officer Lin here?

Tell her to come.

I'll only tell her.

Police officers scared by a dog.

What a joke.

Captain.

We'll still get paid

for the field operation, right?

Right?

It's nothing.

No big deal.

Just a broken arm.

No sweat.

Officer 59487.

Feels good!

Keep clapping.

Stop clapping.

You went AWOL.

I'll report you.

Office work or traffic duty, your choice!

I'm so scared.

A captain should be catching criminals

not barging into private residences, okay?

You guys back there,

how's the air

in the public housing project?

Better than your breath.

What did you contribute

other than arrogance and idiocy?

You're going to look really stupid now.

Look who I caught.

Come here.

Who are you?

-I

-Did I tell you to speak? Huh?

I didn't say anything.

He's Lin Pai-sheng, Mogi Yumi's manager.

I caught him at Mogi's place.

Serial K*llers

always return to the scene of the crime.

I didn't k*ll

Who said you could speak?

Want a beating?

Move him.

Okay.

Damn it! Move him!

Oh, sorry.

I'm sorry.

Unbelievable.

I guarantee he's the k*ller.

On my boss' reputation.

Hey, why me again?

You rope me into everything.

Chief!

Isn't it too early to draw conclusions?

Have you questioned him?

We didn't find Mr. Hsieh,

but he clearly has a strong motive.

Well, I

I never said Lin was guilty.

Right.

Boss, ignore her. I caught him red-handed.

Who'd return to the crime scene?

Use your brain.

Chief!

I'm captain. I should question Lin,

right?

Let me interrogate him.

I'll get to the truth.

Boss! She's trying to steal my case!

I risked my life!

Broke a bone!

Hey, okay. Calm down. Alright.

-Chief!

-Hmm?

Such reckless conduct

is not fit for a police officer.

And harassing citizens like that is?

Overreacting and harassing people!

-Say that again.

-Sure.

Sure.

-Hey!

-Hey!

My tea!

-Bring it on!

-Great! k*ll him!

Come on!

That's enough! Stop it!

Stop it!

-Detectives.

-Stop fighting!

Stop it.

Detectives!

I'm Hsieh Cheng-ta.

Yesterday, Mr. Lin reported Mr. Hsieh.

Now Mr. Hsieh is reporting Mr. Lin.

There's a ton of reporters outside.

Fate seems dead set

against me becoming chief.

Just my luck.

Chief.

Why can't I see Mr. Hsieh?

It's not that.

There's Shui-yuan too.

Shui-yuan said it had to be you

or he won't talk.

Just leave Mr. Hsieh and Mr. Lin to me.

Hey. They might be connected to Shui-yuan.

Be discreet.

Don't let him know that we caught them.

Also,

no matter what he says,

don't let your guard down.

He's dangerous. Okay?

Got it.

Hey.

Tzu-ching.

Shui-yuan's eyes can be hypnotizing.

He won't mesmerize you, will he?

Yes, he will.

As if.

You're finally here.

Is this okay? I can't slip a drawer in.

There's no rush.

We

can chat for a bit first.

I'm sorry.

I don't have time to chat with you.

You're in a bad mood.

-You can't catch the k*ller?

-I'm not.

Officer Lin, don't you find it

emotionally exhausting

forcing yourself to work ever harder

in this male-dominated workplace,

yet still failing to win

your male colleagues' approval?

Are you done?

Read this and tell me

if you get any ideas.

MOGI YUMI m*rder CASE

CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION REPOR

HSIEH CHENG-TA

Let's start over again.

You're going to have to say something.

Huh?

-You You idiot.

-What are you doing?

I can't believe you k*lled Yumi!

Hey!

What What are you doing?

Hey, what are you doing?

What's gotten into you? Huh?

What are you doing?

No one said Mr. Hsieh k*lled Yumi.

Hey, stop crying. Come on.

As you're here, do me a favor.

You're a Mogi-fanster too.

Mogi-ista.

-Mogi-star.

-Mogi-ista!

Right, Mogi-ista.

We're not on the same wavelength.

Talk to him for me, okay?

Okay?

Hsieh Hsieh

Hsieh Cheng-ta.

What exactly

was your fight with Yumi about?

What fight?

Who said that?

Lin Pai-sheng did.

And Mogi Yumi's neighbor confirmed it.

It wasn't a fight.

Then what was it?

It was

L-O-V-E.

-Love you, Yumi.

-Love you, Yumi.

-Are you ready now, Yumi?

-Are you ready now, Yumi?

Love you, Yumi.

-Yumi.

-Yumi.

Awesome, Yumi

Come out, Yumi.

Yumi!

Hello, Mogi-istas.

I'm Yumi.

Yumi!

That day,

Yumi Yumi was performing.

She performed loads of songs.

Show some love for Yumi!

Love you!

I'll use love arrows to pierce your heart.

Yumi.

After seeing the show,

it was already very late.

I knew she couldn't have had time to eat,

so I wanted to surprise her

and buy her favorite pork dish.

When she saw me

Hi.

She happily smiled.

Her smile was the brightest star in

Mr. Hsieh,

could you just cut straight to the point?

Okay.

I told her

Your performance was great.

She said, "It was alright."

"I'm just a bit tired and want to rest."

I said

Hang on, I'll get you some longan tea.

She said, "Hey, there's no need."

"There's no need."

"I just want to rest."

I said

It's fine, I'll take my bike.

Won't take long.

She said, "It's really okay."

"There's really no need."

"I just want to rest."

I can't take anymore!

-Enough!

-Okay.

Can you please get to the fight?

What fight?

I told you. We weren't fighting.

Alright, I got it.

Okay, no fight. Come on.

Okay, there wasn't a fight.

Okay, come on.

Sit down. Okay.

Go on.

I asked Yumi

The sponsor's products yesterday

were awful.

Why did your manager agree to that?

She said

Actually

I don't think I'll renew

my contract with my manager.

I was so happy when I heard this.

Because her manager

treated her really badly.

I asked

Will not renewing be a problem?

She said

He

might k*ll me.

Because I'm the only client he has now.

Then she shook her head and said

Actually, it's none of your business.

I said

How is it not my business?

I'm the president of your fan club.

I see.

So

So you're the president of the fan club,

Murakami Riki.

Yes.

Yumi.

YUMI

Yumi!

Let's show Yumi some love!

-Again.

-Again.

Hey, stop.

Stop doing that.

Stop Really, just stop.

-Yumi.

-Okay. Come on.

That's enough. Calm down.

So this is why you reported Lin Pai-sheng?

Hey. There's no need for this.

I reported the case.

You reported it

then went to the crime scene?

Just bad luck you ran into me?

Shu-fen, profile.

According an FBI research report,

the probability of a k*ller returning

to the crime scene is 63.2 percent.

The purpose is to admire one's crime

and regain that sense of power

from being in control.

Of those, 36.8 percent are caught

by the police at the crime scene.

Wrong!

It's 38.7 percent.

Because I caught another one.

Tell us!

Why did you go back to the crime scene?

You missed that thrill you got

from k*lling Yumi?

When you remember her

crying out for mercy,

you start feeling excited.

Then when you returned to the crime scene

and saw where she died,

you started touching yourself!

Hey, that's too dark.

Or

After you k*lled Yumi,

you were so focused on the corpse

that you forgot to turn off the gas

in her bathroom.

You couldn't sleep when you went home.

You weren't sure if you'd

turned off the gas.

You couldn't take it anymore

and returned to the crime scene to check,

and turn off the gas.

He's not that cheap.

Hey.

No.

I wasn't trying to save money.

I was trying to earn money.

Sir, what are we going to eat after class?

Oh, okay. I can't wait.

Okay.

Fans are always sending Yumi gifts.

Some are valuable,

some have short shelf lives.

Just like an artist's career.

We're not in the arts, okay?

This is business.

Anyway, I went back

to get her stuff and resell it.

Now Yumi's dead, my investment is gone.

If you had the opportunity to cash in,

let me ask you,

wouldn't you take it?

Course you would.

You'd get as much as you could.

Besides, I have shares in that stuff too.

Right?

f*ck.

You talk like you're milking a cow.

Hey, come off it.

She got so many gifts.

Why did she never use them?

Because she hates her fans.

You think she was all innocent?

Bullshit!

She was super smart.

Yumi.

Yumi.

I bought your favorite pork dish.

I know you haven't had time to eat.

Hey.

-Hi.

-I brought her from Japan to Taiwan.

She kept playing dumb, acting useless,

and talking weird.

I even sold my house to invest in her.

If she left me before getting big,

I'd lose all my investment.

Her fans are even more stupid.

They kept kicking up a fuss

and slandering me online.

That Riki Murakami

f*ck!

I mean Hsieh Cheng-ta.

Is that why you reported him?

Hey, no

I genuinely suspect him.

ANY PROGRESS WITH THOSE TWO?

CHUBBY

THEY'RE STILL TRYING

You really still

haven't caught the k*ller?

Do you think I'm connected to the k*ller

because I got the idiom,

"hair tied to beam

and thigh jabbed" right?

You want to know

how I got it?

Come here.

I'll tell you.

You're scared.

Know what a heart-to-heart talk means?

I dare to bare my heart to you

and open up completely.

I can't believe you're hesitating,

not even daring to take one step forward.

Is this how you show me respect?

The neighbors said they saw you

trying to force

your way into Mogi's residence.

I did not.

EMERGENCY EXI

EMPLOYEES ONLY

If you do that, I'll release a video

showing that you sold the gifts

my fans gave me.

Aren't you supposed to be my manager?

Shouldn't you protect me?

Yumi.

Who's picking on you?

Is it your manager?

I'm fine.

Yumi.

Not your business.

-Hey, Yumi.

-Go home.

Hey.

Yumi! Let me in, Yumi!

Yumi!

-Yumi!

-Go home.

After that, I went home.

I left the longan tea there overnight

and spent the night drinking.

Luckily, Ta-chien was with me.

Otherwise, I would have felt even worse.

Hey.

Ta-chien? Who's Ta-chien?

There's no mention of him here.

Can you get him to provide an alibi?

No.

Why not?

He's my dog.

Okay. I'll tell you again.

That night,

I was arranging business as usual.

Leave the year-end party to us this year.

Yumi will take care of it, okay?

Emily, bring a cup of Americano

to my office.

Mr. Lin, you haven't paid

last month's rent.

Hey.

Skimpier?

Yumi doesn't usually wear

clothes like that.

That'll be difficult.

One hundred thousand?

Absolutely no problem.

Yes.

Afterwards, I'll get Yumi

to dine with Mr. Liu.

What do you say?

Alright. It's a deal. Okay?

Then I put the gifts online.

WHITE, SIZE 7, 4760 DOLLARS

But then Yumi suddenly called saying

she didn't want to renew her contract.

Hey, Yumi baby, what's wrong?

Why are you crying?

I'm going back to Japan.

I don't want to renew my contract.

Listen.

Who paid for everything for you?

Who paid for all your styling

and the Chinese language course

you wanted?

Who paid for them all?

I did.

If you don't renew your contract,

I'll make you pay it all back.

f*ck you!

If you do that, I'll release a video

showing that you sold gifts

my fans gave me.

f*ck!

Get things straight, okay?

You didn't want any of that stuff, okay?

You're the one who disrespects your fans.

And I have shares in that stuff too, okay?

Aren't you supposed to be my manager?

Shouldn't you protect me?

To squeeze money from my fans,

you even made my address public,

so I get harassed by fans all the time.

That's an invasion of my privacy!

f*ck, Hsieh Cheng-ta

even followed me home earlier!

Either way, I'm through.

I don't care about fame anymore.

My only fans are a few nerds.

I even have to speak

that stupid Yumi language?

Get away from me!

-What are you doing?

-Let me in.

-Yumi!

-Go away!

-Get lost, pervert!

-Let me in!

-Yumi!

-I'll call the police!

I don't get it.

You said that you loved her?

Why did you do that to her posters?

Huh?

I'm certain

that was Hsieh Cheng-ta's voice.

Then what happened?

Yumi said the neighbors

came out to check on her.

I think Mr. Hsieh left then.

I thought Yumi would be safe,

so I hung up.

But her assistant told me the next day

that Yumi had gone missing.

I went to her place.

f*ck, I saw her corpse.

She died so terrilly.

Who paid for everything for you?

Who paid for all your styling

and that Chinese language course

you wanted?

Who paid for them all?

I did.

You just mentioned

money she owed you

for a Chinese language course.

Was that for you?

f*ck, "terrilly"?

Your Chinese sucks.

-Why should she pay for that?

-Hey.

I hired her the best Chinese teacher.

He's the Hermes of tutoring.

Huang Hsien.

Do you know how hard it was

getting her a class?

I even got a

Great Idioms Supplement.

What?

When I was still a tutor,

every year,

I'd help students sort through the content

for that year's

Joint College Entrance Examination.

I would use the Great Idioms Supplement.

I'd list the miswritten words

in idioms that would be tested that year.

In 2001, I remember

the order of idioms was

"go where others fear to tread,"

"eat one's heart out,"

"phoenix feathers and qilin horns,"

"learn from the ground up,"

and

"hair tied to beam and thigh jabbed."

When I saw

"phoenix feathers and qilin horns"

and "learn from the ground up,"

I guessed

the k*ller must have read

Great Idioms Supplement.

You mean

the k*ller was probably your student?

It's possible

but not certain.

So,

if you catch the k*ller,

check which year the k*ller participated

in the exams.

Perhaps

you'll find something unexpected.

Were they your students?
