01x08 - Gravity of Sin #2

Post by bunniefuu »

In front.

Over there.

-Wang Zhong-Hui,

don’t you wanna come out
and grab something to eat?

Otherwise, Dad will scold you
when he comes home.

Okay, wait a moment.

I'm back.

Are you playing cute?

Shut up.

Didn’t you say you need
to work overtime today?

Why are you home so early?

Yeah.

Dad, yours.

Eighty percent full.

It's rare to see Wang Zhong-Hui
in the kitchen.

I just felt like it.

You cooked it?

Wang Yu-Xuan cooked it. I helped.

Yes.

We've been working on it since 4:00 p.m.

These dishes make me
feel like having a drink.

Psst.

Tell him for me.

Later.

-Hey!
-Okay.

Give it to me.

Stop asking your sister to beg to me.

I already said no.

Is it bad to live at home?

It's not bad.

I just want to go out and live by myself.

Did you get the money from your job?

No, not yet.

Uh, hello?

Yes.

Tomorrow afternoon is fine, yes.

I'd like to ask you
about the payment. Uh...

-It's all right...
-She's always doing free work.

They just think she's easy to bully.

Don’t worry.

She'll get it once her work is done.

Work harder if you want
to stand on your own.

Dad.

As long as she’s happy, right?

I'm very hard-working, okay?

That's what happens
when you take on a case.

I can't help it
if the client likes to delay.

What case? You're not a cop.

So what?

Mmm.

Have a candy and calm down.

You don’t have to fight with him
every five minutes.

I didn't start it.

He can't stop nagging
and then he gets upset.

Just ignore him.

It will be fine after a while.

Wang Zhong-Hui!

Cut down on smoking!

-Dad.
-Yu-Xuan.

Let's have breakfast before you go.

Hmm.

The rice milk is for your sister.

She said she wanted some a few days ago.

Where is she?

Still sleeping?

It's still early.

It's not early.

People are already squeezing
into buses on their way to work.

Dad, can I drive today?

-You want to drive?
-Yes.

I'll pick up the cake after class.

What cake?

-To celebrate your birthday.

I told you, there's no need
to celebrate my birthday.

And I don't eat cake either.

We want to eat it.

Your sister is free tonight.
I'll ask her to get it.

I heard that!

I can't. I have a meeting,
and I don't have time.

It's okay, I'll go.

I'll get going. Come back early.

You too, Wang Zhong-Hui!

See you. See you never.

Bye, Dad.

Stop!

Freeze!

Monkey!

Calm down.

Put the g*n down first.

If you sh**t the police, I can't help you.

Hey!

All crimes have a motive.

If there is a motive, there is a clue.

To solve a case,
you must first find the motive.

Are you listening
to what the senior is saying?

Take note of that.

Congratulations on your promotion!

Thank you.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Hey!

-Thank you.
-Cut the cake.

-Thank you.
-Hey!

-Hey!

Congrats.
-Thank you.

You guys are really...

Congratulations
to your senior, cheers!

-Cheers! Thanks, guys!
Cheers!

-Thank you.
-Cheers!

-Congratulations, sir.
-Congratulations.

-Thank you.
-It's finally yours. Congratulations.

Wow! This is...

The font is too small.
I can't read it clearly.

Please help me see
when it will take effect.

Put that away.

You know how hard I tried
to recommend you?

You've been trying
to kick me out for a long time.

You dislike having me at the crime scene.

How old are you?
And you still want to run around?

I don't want your daughter
to call and scold me every day.

"Uncle Chen, don't make my father
work overtime every day!"

- Oh!

Which one?

Which one? How can I tell?

Remember to come back and visit us.

Hurry up and eat.

That's mine.

Get one for him.

Sir.

Yeah.

I forgot to wish you a happy birthday.

Thank you.

A promotion and a higher job grade.

No more running around.

It's easier, right?

The point is, you can spend more time
with your two daughters.

In fact, I feel like I can't be
on the streets as much these years.

If you miss us in the future,

come back anytime to have some tea.

Sir.

Someone reported a case
at Xinfu Elementary School.

Okay, got it.

Hey, Dad.
I'll be a little late from school,

just in time to pick you up from work.

Call me back when you hear this.

Your call will be
forwarded to the voicemail...

Do you want to go straight there?

-Okay.
-Hmm.

Backup needed
at Xinfu Elementary School.

Officers nearby, please go to the scene.

On the way.

Sir, don't go there yet.

Sir.

Don't move!

Put barricade tape around the perimeter.

Where are the forensic officers?

Someone go and check
the school's surveillance video.

Ask the principal, ask the teachers!

Ask everyone around!

Ask everyone in the school!

Look for anyone suspicious!

What are you doing? Get moving!

Who's going to help? Sir!

I’m fine.

-Sir.
-It's okay, hurry up!

Get moving!

Who called the police?

Come here.

Get out.

Who says you can enter my sister's room?

Zhong-Hui, this is necessary for the case.

You guys made a mistake.

She just went somewhere.
She'll be back later.

Hey, don't touch
my sister's diary!

No one can see it without her permission!

-Zhong-Hui, stop it. Zhong-Hui.

Let go!
-Are you done?

Don't get in their way!

Keep searching.

I'll go back to the scene with Ching-Tse.

See if there's anything we missed.

Let Ching-Tse and the others go.

You should avoid the scene
according to the rules.

Take a few days off.

My daughter is dead. How can I rest?

What rule?
Could you accept this if it were you?

Sir.

I will do everything I can

to catch the m*rder*r.

We'll talk tomorrow.

You can’t do anything in your state.

Let's go.

Sir.

Take it away.

Is Ms. Wang here?

The boss said it's closing time,

but she hasn't come to collect it.

So she told me to bring it here.

Thank you.

Watch out.
Careful.

-Be careful on the way.

Look, a caterpillar.

-It's a caterpillar.
-Leaf.

Come on.

Come and find the plant.
They're all leaves. Don't be afraid.

Dad!

Sister!

Mom!

Mom!

Sister!

Dad.

What are you doing?

I'm looking for my car keys.

Ching-Tse and the others
took the car keys.

It's only 3:00 in the morning.
Where are you going?

Go to bed.

Don't worry about me.

This is the floor plan
of Xinfu Elementary School.

This is the one we went to before,

the entrance to the basement parking lot.

Two incomplete fingerprints
were found on the victim's car.

You've got the data.

We've matched them
with the ex-convicts in the database.

There are no matches so far.

According to the autopsy report,

there were multiple abrasions
on the victim's body

and traumatic injuries.

They could've been caused
by pulling and falling.

The cause of death

is sand covering the mouth
and nose, causing suffocation.

Wang Yu-Xuan doesn’t have
a complicated social circle.

She did not have a grudge against anyone.

An indiscriminate k*lling
can't be ruled out.

It's possible that someone
from outside the school broke in.

We are currently targeting
sexual as*ault ex-convicts with local ties

and drug addicts.

Any idea who the suspect is?

The investigation into
the m*rder of a female teacher

at Xinfu Elementary School
is still in a stalemate.

The main reason is, after the crime,

a teacher covered
the body of the deceased with a quilt

and burned paper money at the side.

The crime scene was seriously compromised,

making it hard for the police
to collect evidence.

ORDER OF MERIT OF THE POLICE

Over here.

Yu-Xuan's sister came
to collect her things.

Here.

The police have taken away
some of her things.

Do you have a box?

Yes, just a moment.

Yu-Xuan's sister,

I'm sorry for your loss.

Take your time.

Yu-Xuan’s sister.

If there's anything you need,
please feel free to ask.

Anything.

Thank you.

WANG YU-XUAN

HAPPY TEACHERS' DAY

YU-XUAN

Ms. Liu,
how do I get to the parking lot?

You go down the hallway to the end.

Go down the stairs and it's on the right.

-Oh, thank you.
-No problem.

Hello, Dad?

I bought you some...

If you can, come back earlier.

Psst.

Meeting starts now.

Everyone’s here, right?

Today is the meeting for
the Xinfu Elementary School m*rder case.

Have you found anything recently?

Think about it again.

Don't miss any leads or clues.

It's been a few months.

Not a single suspect?

What's the point of having a meeting then?

The clues are at the scene, waiting
to be discovered, not at the office.

We've all been
working very hard.

We're just hitting a little bottleneck.

A bottleneck?

Do you want me to take
all the men in Taiwan

to compare their fingerprints?

If it's necessary.

-Sir.
-Yes?

If these cameras were to sh**t this area,

this one should be facing outward,

so that the surveillance area
is comprehensive.

PARK AT YOUR OWN RISK
BE CAREFUL WITH YOUR BELONGINGS

Hey, kid.

What are you doing here?

Dad,

have you eaten dinner?

I bought it for you.
Do you want to heat it up?

Dad.

I'm not hungry.

Can't you take a break?

How's your job search going?

I'm not looking for a job.

Did you sleep at the police station
again yesterday?

About Yu-Xuan...

You're obviously sad too.

-Why don't you talk to me about it?
-I'm busy.

Can you not be a cop right now?

Can you be Wang Yu-Xuan
and Wang Zhong-Hui's father now?

I'm doing what Wang Yu-Xuan's father
should be doing, right?

What's the problem?

Forget it.

Wang Yu-Xsuan,

what should I do?

Just ignore him.

It will be fine after a while.

Sis, I miss you so much.

That's the kid.

I went to the parking lot
the other day.

He was hiding and peeking at me.

-I felt a little strange.

Sir.

He looks like an ordinary
elementary school student.

About this case...

Are you thinking too much?

Speak.

Okay.

-What's going on?
-Citizen's report.

Someone is causing
a disturbance at the market.

Just let the district handle it.
Why did they call you?

The person who reported the incident
heard the man say,

"I k*lled the teacher."

I k*lled her.

It was me who k*lled her.

All right, stop it!

The police are here, stop it!

-I won't stop!
-It's okay.

It's okay, it's okay...

What did you tell them
about the teacher?

I k*lled the teacher.

Say it again!

Hey! Stop!

I k*lled her.

What did you say?
Say it clearly.

I got hard because of Yu-Xuan.

Say that again!

What do you know about the m*rder case
at Xinfu Elementary School?

-Go to hell!
-Sir!

That's him!
Sir, calm down!

Calm down, sir!

Sir.

Okay, it's okay. Take a break.

Here. Have some water, okay?

-Come here.

-Come.
-I'm hungry.

-Okay.
-The teacher...

On the day of the crime,

dozens of people saw him
loitering around the station.

How do you want me to arrest him?

There must be a connection
if he said those words.

The news is reporting
the m*rder every day.

He's got mental problems.

The chances of him being influenced
by the TV and talking nonsense are high.

Look at your hands.

He goes through the garbage
and picks up recycling items every day.

He's covered with dirt, grease and stuff.

If he's the k*ller,

the victim...

would have also been dirty.

Would you have ignored
these details before?

Captain, sir.

I have an important call.

This is Chen Chia-Pao.

Yes, I am.

Hello, Director.

Yes, sorry.

It's my problem.

Yes. I'll take care of it right away.

Order from the director.

You'll report to the new unit tomorrow.

Just let this case go.

How is that possible? At this moment?
I can’t just let the case go.

Wang Ying-Min!

You want to force me to
find someone to escort you, don't you?

You don't have the guts to try.

Pao...

I'm begging you.

You watched Yu-Xuan grow up too.

You can understand me.

Two weeks.

Two weeks at the most.

And don't sleep in the police station.

You still have Zhong-Hui.

Look for a motive.

Look for a motive.

If there is a motive, there is a clue.

Look for a motive.

-Sir.
-Look for a motive.

Take a break.

Really.

You're too tired.

You need to take a break.

Liang.

I'm sorry.

Liang.

I'm sorry.

Say...

Didn't you say you were hungry just now?

Hungry.

Eh.

Bread.

Did you see that?

You mean the student?

Forget it.

Let's take a break today.

-Let's go.
-Hmm.

TEACHER WANG YU-XUAN

I bought dinner.

Let's eat.

Did you find a job?

You asked me a few days ago.

I have a job.

I'm just busy when I have a case.

I'm not busy when I don't have a case.

Oh...

I asked.

It's good to have something to do.

Did you see the photos
I put on Yu-Xuan's desk?

Yes, what about them?

The funeral home wants us
to choose one to enlarge

for the funeral.

But I don't know which one to choose yet.

Why are we talking about this now?

We haven't even caught the k*ller yet.
What's all this talk about a funeral?

You're so eager to get rid of your sister.

No, I'm not!

The people at the funeral home
keep asking.

And she's so afraid of the cold.

If the k*ller can't be found,

she'll be locked up over there forever.

I will catch him!

I will get this b*stard!

Why do you always disagree with me?

Why?

If you had agreed
to get the cake that day,

your sister wouldn't have driven

and wouldn't have...

What?

Say it!

You've been avoiding me
ever since her death.

Are you afraid to say
what's in your heart?

If it wasn't for me,
she wouldn't have died.

She would be sitting here
eating with you right now.

I'm the one who k*lled my sister, right?

Is that so?

I really wish I was the one who died.

Zhong-Hui! Where are you going?

-Zhong-Hui!

Zhong-Hui.

Zhong-Hui.

What are you doing?

Zhong-Hui.

-Zhong-Hui.

I know.

I know. It's my fault.

It's all my fault.

I was supposed to get the cake.

I was supposed to get the cake.

I think about it every day.

Why did I tell her...

"See you. See you never."

Those were the last words
I ever said to her.

It was the last thing I said to her.

It was the last thing I said to her.

I'm sorry.

I shouldn’t have said those words to you.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

It’s all right now. Sorry.

I'm sorry.
