01x11 - Secret Love

[bunniefuu]

Tweety.

Do you want some water?

You want to fly free?

I'll let you out, OK?

You can go home now.

Thank you. —Thank you.

Thank you for the
support. Thank you.

Dear fellow citizens.

I'm Councillor Yang Chih-hsiao

representing New Taipei City.

I know you're all hurrying home

but please give
me a few minutes.

Slow down and hear me out.

Women and children's issues

have always been
one of my focus.

Especially early
childhood education.

What did our
government promise us?

They promised that

they would place more
emphasis on education

and...

Just come right out and say it.

What the hell do you want?

I want to make you pay.

Four-Eyes fired at the police.

I'm a police officer.

It was my duty to stop him.

I didn't do anything
wrong sh**ting him dead.

Bloody hell, you really know

how to piss a man off.

I'm a criminal.

It's my duty to seek revenge.

I wouldn't be doing anything
wrong if I k*ll you.

If you're crazy,
there are doctors

in the prison to help you.

Feisty, aren't you?

Hey! What the hell
are you doing?

Dammit, what the
hell was that for?

What are you trying to do?

What are you doing? Get off me!

Get off me!

The lack of childcare subsidies

and public childcare facilities

are making the
younger generation

anxious and uncertain
about the future.

No one's listening.

Plus, we've touched
on this topic before.

Talk about something else.

But this is a very
important issue.

I want them to hear about this.

Hello?

This leads to a sharp
decline in birth rate.

He's right here.
—Here's what I believe.

Yes, please hold. —The
best solution is to

build more childcare...
—Reporter on the line.

Your support is much
appreciated, thank you!

Hello?

Hello, Councillor Yang.

I'm a reporter from
Weekly Magazine.

Congratulations, you're
ahead in the polls.

I believe it's a first for you.

Thank you.

Starting tomorrow,
we'll be running

a series of articles on you

so I'd like to clarify
a few things with you.

Sure, go ahead.

What's your relationship with.

Sergeant Hsu Tze-wei
of the 3rd Precinct?

We're just friends.

We'd grab a drink
together after work

on the occasion. That's all.

Just friends? Sure.

What about wanted
criminal, Hu Ta-dong?

He seems to have
a beef with you.

Is there bad blood between you?

No, there isn't any
bad blood between us.

He said he wanted my help

but he was so vague about it

I turned him down.

And now he won't
stop hounding me.

I see. Thank you,
Councillor Yang.

Please don't make up stories...

So, what did she ask you about?

She asked if I
knew Detective Hsu

and Hu Ta-dong.

Why would she ask about them?

They must have
gotten photos of you.

We'll talk about this again.

I'll try to find out more. —OK.

More public childcare facilities

is the solution to the
declining birth rate.

I won't k*ll you so soon.

This game will be no
fun if you're dead.

Don't pull another dumb move.

Forget everything you saw.

We should get going.

Are we really going to do this?

We have to.

But what's going
to happen to her?

This will k*ll her.

Stay right here.

You're such a pain.

Your call will be
forwarded to...

What brings you
here at this hour?

I just finished work.

Are my friends from
Hong Kong back?

Let me check.

They've already checked out.

They did? —Yes.

When did they check out?

About an hour ago.

So sudden?

Anybody here?

Pull over!

I'm the police!

Hey! Stop!

Tze-wei?

Come here.

Did you release the bird?

What did I tell you?

But... the bird

got so excited when
it saw the sky.

It kept trying to get out.

Finding excuses for
what you did now?

Go to the time-out corner.

What are you doing?

It's only a bird.

I'm teaching her discipline.

If you must punish her

do it after dinner.

She'll stand and eat.

Stand and eat? No way.

She's a growing child.

That's bad for digestion.

Stop nagging at me.

Your call will be
forwarded to voicemail.

Fees apply after the beep tone.

End the call if
you don't wish to

leave a message. To
leave a quick message

press the hash key
after the tone.

Tze-wei.

Tze-wei.

What's wrong?

What happened?

Why don't you sit down?

Did something happen?

Are you OK?

What happened?

My goodness, your hands!

Are you hurt?

It's all right now...

It's all right...
everything's OK now.

W-Where are they?

I don't know.
They've checked out.

I thought you would know.

When did they check out?

The staff at the hotel said

they checked out in the evening.

They didn't say where
they were going.

Let's go.

Ching-yao?

Susanna?

It is odd if you think about it.

He went to so much
effort to abduct you

but all he did was take
you out for a spin.

I could've died.

Don't get me wrong.

I'm glad you're fine.

Looks like no one's home.

Damn, they have my bag.

Do you need a place
to freshen up?

You look really tired.

Any vacant room at your hotel?

Sure. And it's free of charge.

Consider it a
service for my voter.

Let's go.

We can't feel bad for
her and turn back now.

Star City Hotel.

Hello, Cindy? It's me.

Could you send some water

and toiletries up later?

Room 809. Thank you.

Sorry. There's nowhere

to shop for clothes
at this hour.

Make do with my campaign
T-shirt for now.

It's OK.

I've got it.

Are your hands OK?

Yeah.

I can go down

and buy some ointment
for your hands.

You...

You should go.

Yeah, I should.

Get some rest.

I'll bring you breakfast
tomorrow morning.

Sleep well.

My legs are tired.

Wei-wei, have some water.

This is enough.

You've made her stand all night.

It's not even two hours.

I want her to remember
what she did wrong.

What if she falls sick?

Right, keep drinking.

I don't think Wei-wei
did anything wrong.

All she did was let the bird go.

Fine, tell me. How
many birds do you want?

I'll buy them for you.

Do you know what
you've done wrong?

I released the bird.

Do you have to be so hard on her

over a bird?

Is this your idea of
instilling discipline?

This is ridiculous!

Wei-wei, go get some rest. —No!

Why not?

You can discipline our
daughter, but I can't?

All you do at home is
drink and yell at her.

What kind of a father are you?

Are you done yet?

Please don't fight.
I don't need to rest.

Do you know what
you've done wrong?

I didn't listen to you.

I'm sorry, Daddy.

I'm so disappointed with you.

Well, I'm disappointed
with you too.

You're going out?

Go and don't ever come back.

I don't need
housekeeping service.

It's me.

I brought you breakfast.

We'll look for them after
you've had breakfast.

Give me a minute.

Sure.

We'll keep the keycard for you.

That's all. Thank
you. Take care.

Excuse me, miss. —Hello.

I'm a reporter from
Today Magazine.

May I know if Councillor Yang

brought a lady here last night?

Was that lady a police officer?

I have no recollection of that.

Really? Could you check for me?

Sure, let me check. —Thanks.

Let's go... —There's a reporter.

That way. —I don't have
any record of that.

No?

Those bloody reporters...

Why are the reporters
looking for me?

Promise you won't
get mad? —Tell me!

"Eligible bachelor smitten with"

"small-time policewoman".

Let me make this clear.

They called me to ask about this

and I explained
that we were friends

but they went ahead and
made up their own story.

I'm sorry about this.

No need to apologise.

What I'm saying is

if I weren't a politician

the paparazzi
wouldn't be after you.

Your supporters
are mostly women.

Will this affect your
election campaign?

These photos are
pretty innocuous.

Let me take another look.

It bothers you so much that

the tabloids say we're dating?

I don't really care.

I just want to know
which idiot wrote this.

A "small-time policewoman"?

You're the small-time
councillor.

Whatever. I don't care either.

Breaking news.

A senior officer from
Criminal Investigation

of the 3rd Precinct

is said to be involved
in a serious crime.

The female police officer

is now the suspect
in a homicide.

The crime took place last night

in a factory in a
remote area of the city.

An eyewitness
claimed to have seen

the officer and the
victim in a scuffle.

The officer snapped

and strangled the
victim to death.

We have surveillance
camera footage

from a member of the public

which showed the female officer

at the scene at the
time of the crime.

Are you sure it was her?

Madam asked Ke-ming
if he k*lled Jia-jia.

Ke-ming laughed in her face.

That made Madam really angry

and they got into a scuffle.

Ke-ming held on to her
bag and wouldn't let go

and then Madam just snapped.

She dragged him to one side

grabbed a rope,

and strangled him to death.

Why didn't you come
to us last night?

I was scared.

Madam was looking
for me all night.

And she's a police officer.

I wasn't sure if
you'd believe me.

And I was worried I
might run into her

if I came here.

But you're not worried
about that now?

Listen.

It's a crime to make
false accusations.

This is my fault.

It's my fault Ke-ming's dead.

I shouldn't have
brought Madam there

to meet Ke-ming.

Every time I close my eyes...

I could see Ke-ming

glaring at me.

I can't take this anymore.

Big-Eye. —Yes?

Grab the evidence
bags and gloves.

Li. —Yes?

Where's Tze-wei? —No idea.

Let me know once you
find out where she is.

Are you sure about going
back to the station?

I'm innocent.

Wearing my campaign T-shirt?

I don't have a choice.

Don't go in today.

I'll drive you wherever
you want to go.

I have to find out
what's going on.

Tze-wei.

Don't you think this whole thing

reeks of conspiracy?

You've already done a
lot for me. Thank you.

Tze-wei...

Tze-wei!

Tze-wei.

Tze-wei's here!

Ching-yao, why are you here?

Hey! Wait. —Ching-yao.

You can't have any
contact with him.

Come this way.

Let's go.

H-He... he's the eyewitness?

Good that you showed up.

We're all looking for you.

My phone and all my
stuff are in there.

You're now the
suspect in a m*rder.

Captain, you saw me last night.

Let's get the
investigation going.

I didn't do anything!

What's there to investigate?

Wait.

Councillor Yang.

Councillor Yang.

Where's his statement?

Are you following
the standard protocol

for criminal investigations?

Councillor Yang,
we do everything

by the book.

I need her to go to
a meeting with me.

I'll submit the relevant
documents later.

Councillor Yang.

We have an eyewitness.

I believe you know him too.

Ching-yao...

You're arresting her
based on his claims?

Come on, she's your colleague!

How about I accuse you of m*rder

and get you arrested too?

This is abuse of power!

We have evidence too.

We're going to get it tested.

We'll have to bring
Tze-wei in anyway

when the results are out.

Then wait until the
results are out.

I'm taking her away.
—Councillor Yang...

I'm taking her with me.

I'll bear the full
responsibility for this.

Let's go.

How could they
arrest you like that?

It's absurd!

So this is how it
feels to be a suspect.

So what's your plan?

That's what I should
be asking you.

What if the paparazzi
find out about this?

Well...

I couldn't stand by

and watch you get
arrested, could I?

It doesn't matter.

I'll turn myself in

once they put an arrest
warrant out on me.

There won't be an
arrest warrant on you.

You didn't k*ll anyone.

The test results will
come back in your favour.

But I was at the crime scene.

Now that I think about it

this is all part of
Hu Ta-dong's plan.

He let me get away

because he knew

there was only one escape route.

I don't get it.

Did you see that look
on Ching-yao's face?

What the hell is he up to?

I don't know.

Thank you.

No problem.

I just got myself one more vote.

I'm not registered
under your constituency.

You should've told
me that earlier.

Take me home.

Go home?

I think I know
who Hu Ta-dong is.

Make yourself at home.

What are you looking for?

I think he was my
father's driver.

I used to call him Uncle Dong.

I noticed the tattoo on his arm

when he abducted me last night.

I remember that tattoo
from my childhood.

He was your father's driver?

He was also my
father's accomplice.

They k*lled Wang
Ya-chih together.

I... I don't quite get it.

You were so young back then.

What...

What does he want from you?

I have no idea.

It's all between
my father and him.

I don't know why he said

he was never going
to let me off.

Don't give up.

You need to calm down

so you can figure this out.

What if Hu Ta-dong
goes after your mum?

That won't happen.

He won't find her.

My mum walked out on us

and left the country
more than 20 years ago.

Want a drink?

Sure.

Nothing interesting in there.

It's all new to me.

My childhood was
nothing like this.

It's nice.

It's good that your childhood

was nothing like this.

Then you wouldn't have a father

who's a m*rder*r

and a mother who's absent

for the most part of your life.

You know what?

Although my mum's
life was a mess

she tried her best
to provide for me.

She'd save me the nicest food.

Although old Councillor Yang

isn't my biological father

he raised me like his own son.

So my biological mum

and my adoptive father

are just as important to me.

I'm glad for you.

But

that's not something
I'd ever understand.

Let's drop this.

Yeah, let's drop it.

Those are our parents'
doing, not ours.

It's water under the bridge.

I'm in love with you.

That's abrupt.

Yes, I'm

quite a forthright person.

May I be in love with you?

You're a grown man.

Make your own decision.

Well, I have.

I'm waiting for your response.

What if you realise...

I'm not the man you want?

We won't know

unless we give it a shot.
