01x14 - A Memory to Remember

[bunniefuu]

Hey, hurry up!

Come on, get moving.

Hurry up.

Come on.

Hurry.

A-Dong, what happened today

stays between you and me.

You get that?

Starting next month,
check your bank account

and you'll see a big
jump in your wages.

Don't worry.

I'm a man of my word.

You cannot be with him.

Do you know who he is?

I'm a detective. I
want to catch criminals

and make them pay.

But you're a councillor.

Why are you risking
your career for this?

No reason in particular.

I just want to do what
I can for the victims.

Do you know who it was
your father k*lled?

Chih-hsiao's biological mother.

It's still fresh in my mind.

That night, 23 years ago

he was only ten years old

and crying as if
the world had ended.

Tze-wei, you might want to

ease up on the drinking.

Just let me drink.

I'm getting transferred
anyway. —What's wrong?

Come on, it will be nice
working in the south.

It's close to my hometown.

At 3rd Precinct, we
have so much work

and crap to deal with.

You'll be more relaxed
and happier in the south.

He's right.

Yeah, happier. Let's drink.

Drink up

Councillor Yang.
—Councillor Yang.

Sorry to trouble you.

Tze-wei had too much to drink.

I'll send her home.

You guys go home
and rest up too.

Please take care
of her. —Thank you.

Tze-wei, we're leaving.

We'll talk in the car.
I'll drive you home.

Tze-wei.

Tze-wei...

Tze-wei.

Tze-wei...

Tze-wei!

Tze-wei...

I'm sorry I kept it
from you for so long.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Don't apologise to me.

We should be the ones
apologising, not you.

I didn't know how to
tell you. —Please!

I was afraid I'd
lose you! —Please!

This is not your fault!
—Stop apologising!

Don't apologise to me.

I'm begging you...

Don't...

Hsu Tze-wei, you listen to me.

Listen.

Anyone can push me away but you.

Don't push me away.

I don't want to
bring you hatred.

Don't touch me.

We can't be together.

Just stay away from me.

Would you...

Would you listen to
what I have to say?

Would you?

All my life...

I've been trying so hard

to walk out from the shadow

of what my father did.

I hate him for it.

I hate what he did.

I understand how that feels.

I know how it feels
to hate someone.

When I was little...

I resented my mum

for bringing me into this world

without knowing who my dad was.

I resented her for the mess

she had made of her life.

And for making me live in fear

that she would
abandon me one day.

I was only ten.

Hiding in the hotel,
forcing myself

to grow up faster
than any kid had to.

I resented myself for

wanting to thank you in person

after you saved my
life three years ago.

Because... that's
how I found out

what your dad did to my mum.

It tormented me for a long time.

But then time went by

and I thought I had
put it behind me.

But that's not how hatred works.

It's a creature with
sharp teeth that bites

when you least expect it.

You know what?

I needed an outlet
for my hatred.

I'd thought about
taking revenge. I did.

So after I met you
three years ago.

I tried to find out
all I could about you.

I tried ways and means
to get close to you.

But the closer I got to you

the more I found myself

falling for you.

Can you believe this?

Yang Chih-hsiao.

You've fallen in love
with the daughter

of the man who k*lled your mum.

I struggled with that.

I did.

But the hatred
that led me to you

led me to your love.

Ever since I fell
in love with you

the hatred in me
began to subside.

It's fading away bit by bit.

It won't go away
completely but it's fading.

Hsu Tze-wei.

You're my salvation.

If you push me away

all I have left will
be that hatred in me.

So don't push me away.

I don't want to
hate anyone anymore.

I'm done with it. I'm so tired.

Don't push me away, please.

We'll get through this together.

OK?

Chih-hsiao...

When do you think Hu
Ta-dong will come for me?

Stop looking.

Stop looking...

Have you eaten?

I'm not hungry.

Keep this for later then.

I made it myself.
For you and my son.

Thanks.

It's going to be a long night.

Mrs Hsu is home tonight.

Are you sure about
showing up there?

Your boss is getting
migraines again.

This can't go on.

I must straighten things
out with that woman.

My god!

Tze-wei...

Are you all right?

If you don't feel well,
go rest in the car.

I'm OK.

Are you sure?

I want to solve Jia-jia, Nicole

and Chien-chien's
murders so badly

not just because
I want to stand up

for these women

but also because the
M.O of these cases

are similar to the m*rder

my dad committed 23 years ago.

The red nail polish.

The way the bodies
were dismembered

and stuffed into suitcases.

This is where your
mother's body was dumped.

Her body floated downstream

and was discovered
a few days later.

So she was cut into two

just so she would fit
into the suitcase.

It's all in the past now.

You don't have to
know the details.

This is hard,

but I want to know
everything that happened.

So, please...

OK.

Come with me.

Are you sure you
want to do this?

If you're upset, you
can lash out at me.

I can handle it.

We'll tackle this together

so we can both move past it.

Daddy...

You must forget everything

that happened here today.

All of it.

Do you hear me?

Just remember one thing.

I love you and Mummy.

Is this where it happened?

The police found a
lot of blood here

and determined this spot

to be where the
m*rder took place.

The victim was stabbed
thrice in the back.

The cause of death was
excessive blood loss

due to kidney rupture.

The m*rder weapon
was a kitchen knife.

After the victim died...

Hu Ta-dong grabbed
her by the ankles

while my father grabbed her arms

and they carried
her into the study

leaving a trail of blood behind.

How did this happen...

Come on.

Help me put her
into the suitcase.

Don't just sit there. Come on!

This is where they cut
up your mother's body.

They took a large suitcase,

and stuffed both
halves of her body in.

And then

they disposed of her body

at the riverbank we
stopped by earlier.

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

It's all right.

I'm OK...

I just need some
time here alone.

I'm OK.

I'm OK.

I'm going to be fine.

I'll be fine...

I'll be fine...

I'm sorry.

Yang Chih-hsiao.

Don't touch it.

Don't open it.

Put it down.

Put it down.

Do you know what
you've done wrong?

I released the bird.

Do you have to be so hard on her

over a bird?

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

What else do you do?

What kind of a father are you?

Are you done yet?

I'm so disappointed with you.

Well, I'm disappointed
with you too.

Look, this little
bird can't fly.

Let me have a look.

It doesn't look
too badly injured.

We can nurse it back to health.

—We can keep it? —Yeah.

—Until it recovers. —Yay!

—Here. —Are we really
going to keep it?

Yeah.

And I'll be the one
stuck taking care of it.

Come on.

Thank you.

You've been in Hong
Kong all these years.

Taiwan has changed
a lot, hasn't it?

Please get in.

The backseat is
more comfortable.

Wouldn't it be rude of
me to sit in the back?

No worries. I promise Tze-wei

the front passenger seat
is reserved for her.

Let's go.

(Cantonese) Why does
she want to see me now?

Sorry. I'm too used to
speaking in Cantonese.

I was saying

why would Tze-wei
suddenly want to see me?

My mum was Hakka.

I can understand a
bit of Cantonese.

Let's chat in the car.

There was a m*rder 23 years ago.

A dismembered body
found in a suitcase.

Do you remember that case?

Oh yeah, I do.

A woman was found dismembered

and stuffed into a suitcase.

One of the perps was
never caught, right?

What's his name? Guang...

Jin Dong-guang.

What about him?

I think he is Jin Dong-guang.

Hu Ta-dong? —Yeah.

Hello.

This is Hsu Tze-wei of
Criminal Investigation.

Who?

W-Where...

Hu Ta-dong is here.

Hu Ta-dong?

A member of the
public spotted him

at Section Two of Zhongyi Road.

Zhongyi Road. —Section
Two, Zhongyi Road.

Let's go.

Hello, Criminal Investigation.

What? You spotted Hu Ta-dong?

Near the harbour?
—Is this a prank?

Where exactly? —Don't go yet.

Hu Ta-dong?

What is he wearing?
—The baseball field.

Note down all the locations
that were reported.

Are you sure? How many of them?

Hello?

I have nothing to do with

what happened 23 years ago.

Are you sure about that?

Tze-wei...

You have a call from
the nursing home.

Notify the nearby
police stations

and ask them to go check.

Hello? —Miss Hsu.

Your grandpa has an emergency.

What's the matter?

He says he has chest pain

and requires medical attention.

Please come quickly.
—I'll be right there.

Captain, my grandpa
has an emergency.

Go!

Team One and Team Two.

Drop whatever you're doing

and gather information
on Hu's whereabouts.

This is a pretty nice place.

It is.

It's tranquil and
the air is so fresh.

Yeah. —It's a nice
place to live.

Plus, this is run
by the government

so it doesn't cost much.

Tze-wei, you're here.

Wei-wei, this is A-Dong.

He said he used to be
your father's driver.

He's even kind enough
to bring me gifts.

Don't mention it, Grandpa.

I was more than their driver.

I was a close family friend.

Really?

Yeah.

The hotel is a bit old.

I hope it's OK for you.

Please get in.

Where's Tze-wei?

Why isn't she here
to pick me up?

You know how busy
the police can be.

This way, please.

Miss Hsu, you're here too?

Please bring my grandpa
in to get some rest.

Sure.

Thank you. Grandpa,
I'll come visit again.

Would you like that? —Yes.

I'll leave you to
have a good chat.

OK...

Grandpa, I'll come
again tomorrow.

OK...

You should visit your
grandpa more often.

Twice a month is nowhere enough.

Come somewhere with me.

This time, we won't
be going for a spin.

A-Dong.

Let's put an end to this.

Are you excited to
see your daughter?

Yes, I am.

I came to Taiwan
just to see her.

But I'm a little apprehensive

about what she's going to say.

I owe her so much.

I haven't seen her in 23 years.

You do owe her a lot.

Can you ever make it up to her?

Where are we?

Where are you taking me?

I'm taking you to
see your daughter.

She's waiting for us up ahead.

No. My daughter won't be here.

What do you want from me?

You know what?

The hotel I just
picked you up from

was where I saw my mum

for the last time 23 years ago.

Before she left

she gave me this watch.

She said to me, "My boy."

"Put this on."

"I've met a rich man."

Does it look familiar to you?

It's your husband's watch.

It's been more than 20 years.

Never thought I'd get
to step in here again.

Keep going.

Want me to bring your
grandpa here as well?

Keep going.

Oh, the time-out corner.

I remember this corner.

Your dad would punish you

by making you stand here.

Stand over there.

Yeah, I like seeing you there.

Hell... all the memories
are coming back...

Get in there. Stay put!

Reflect on what
you've done. Hell!

Like father, like daughter!

Everything has changed!

You can't force
someone to love you.

Shut up!

My god!

When I got the gig
to work for your dad

my boss told me.

I'd be livin' the high life now.

Bullshit! What a
friggin' load of crap.

The high life? Yeah, right!

Get over here.

Help me get rid of the body.

Do this for me and I promise

you'll never have to
worry about money again.

You must forget everything

that happened here today.

All of it.
