01x09 - The Curse from Hatred

[bunniefuu]

If you let me go

I guarantee you'll
get more money

than you're getting now.

I promise I won't
get you arrested.

I'm begging you.

I mean what I said.

Hey...

Hey...

Hello?

I'm begging you

please let my son go.

You can have whatever you want.

All right, it's simple.
Just do as I say.

Sure, I will.

As long as my son is safe.

Keep the cops out of it.

They are next to
you, aren't they?

I can ask them to leave.

I have the authority to do that.

That's what I want to hear.

It's fine, we're
about done anyway.

NT$50 million cash in
non-sequential bills.

OK, when do we do this?

How do I pass you the money?

The sooner you get
the money ready

the safer your son will be.

If you want the money in cash

it's going to take
a bit of time.

There's no need to
stall this call.

I won't hang up.

Drop the ransom off

where you trace this call to.

Are you sure about this?

What about my son?
Will he be all right?

Bring Huang Hom-yue along

when you deliver the money.

You've been after me for so long

but I'm still at large.

You're not going to get
me this time either.

What are you talking about?

I'm Hu Ta-dong.

Where did you get this scooter?

I borrowed it.

This is my constituency,
I know everyone.

Hold on tight.

That van in front.

I see it... —Turn right.

Hold on tight...

He stopped.

Chia-hao!

Chia-hao!

Chia-hao! —Chia-hao!

Madam Hsu, I need your help.

Who is this? —Nicole's sister.

What's going on?

I don't want her to die.

Where is she?

At my place.

Have you considered my offer?

Once I get to safety

name your sum

and I'll make sure you get it.

Sorry, I do love money

and your offer is tempting

but that crazy cop has my wife.

My hands are tied too.

Just

bear with it for a while more.

Get some rest at the hospital.

Help her up.

My team members will
head over there soon.

Easy...

Keep her warm.

Easy now.

Are you OK?

Where is Chia-hao?

He got away.

He's trying to pin his
crimes on Hu Ta-dong.

He's obviously
trying to buy time.

Fancy giving up his
promising career

to be a criminal.

I'm so disappointed
in... —That's enough.

Can you swear that you have

absolutely nothing
to do with this?

Huang Hom-yue.

Are you above the law now?

Did you forget you're
a police officer too?

Care to explain what's
going on between you

and the chief
prosecutor's family?

You've got it wrong.

I don't know what
Chia-hao has told you.

It doesn't matter
what you think of me.

Now's not the time to
be arguing over this.

Tze-wei, you know Chia-hao well.

Come with us

and try to talk
some sense into him.

We'll go on our own.

Is my wife OK?

She should be at
the hospital by now.

You really love her, don't you?

Go get the money.

Remember, you have
to leave by tonight.

Contact my mum
when you get there.

She'll handle the rest.

Thank you.

You'll be getting
your money soon.

Can you let me go now?

Please?

Not yet.

I still don't know
who the k*ller is.

Please...

Don't worry, Chief Prosecutor.

We've already stationed our men

around the drop-off area.

I don't get it.

Why did Chia-hao pretend
to be Hu Ta-dong?

Maybe he's trying to
lure Hu Ta-dong out.

Remember what Hu Ta-dong said

when he accosted
us at the carpark?

That rich brat was
a pawn in my game

but your friend beat me to it

and messed up my plan.

If Chia-hao's trying
to lure him out

he'd be some place
Hu Ta-dong knows.

Which would be where
Chien-chien's body

was found three years ago.

This road leads
to the mountains.

It's the wrong way? —Yeah...

Make a U-turn.

Here? — Yeah, turn around.

I heard you were looking for me.

You're finally here.

You know what I'm after.

I hate being made the scapegoat

for something I didn't do.

But I'll make an
exception for you.

Tell me what happened
three years ago.

Sure.

Anything for you.

That buddy of mine
was such an idiot.

He'd come running to me for help

every time he screwed up.

When I got there,
she was already dead.

Check her out. Not bad, huh?

Trouble seems to
find you, doesn't it?

What are you planning to do?

Stuff her in here.

Stuff her in there?

But how?

Cut her in half.

Here.

You want me to do it?

Do you expect me
to do it for you?

Bloody hell, this is your mess.

I don't want to.

Fine, I'll leave then.

You're on your own.

Dammit!

So what's it gonna be?

Pass me the knife.

Hell, couldn't you
get a bigger knife?

That's all I have.

Hell! I'll go buy
a bigger knife.

Wait.

Hell. Are you a psychopath?

Why did you paint her nails?

Mind your own business.
I have my reasons.

Seriously... how did she die?

Man, you're hopeless.

Come on, let's get
this over with.

I don't get you.

Why do you insist
on dumping her here?

The boss of this factory
is a friggin' as*h*le.

He was constantly picking on me.

I wouldn't be doing drugs

if it weren't for him.

It's his fault my
life is so screwed up.

I want to make him
pay for what he did.

Make sure the cops don't
trace it back to you.

We disposed of her body

but I wasn't sure

if she had died
of a drug overdose

or if Four-Eyes k*lled her.

I really don't know.

Shortly after
that, we even tried

to prove he didn't
k*ll that woman

but all we accomplished
was get Four-Eyes k*lled.

She died of an
overdose, didn't she?

Hell...

I wasn't there! I don't know.

So who k*lled her?

I don't know.

It wasn't me. That's for sure.

Hell, you're just
wasting my time!

How could you do
that to Chien-chien?

All I did was help to
dispose of her body.

That's the truth.

Why are you doing this?

I understand how you feel.

You feel like there's
been an injustice.

The cops caught the wrong guy

and the real k*ller
got away unpunished.

No one cares about the truth.

I get how you're feeling.

I've been there.

You and I, we're the same.

I understand your anger
and your frustration.

Shut up!

When Four-Eyes died
three years ago

I was hurting like you are.

I could feel the
rage eating at me

and I had no way to vent it.

That punk...

He was with Chien-chien
before she died.

He's the biggest suspect.

I didn't do it...

If you want to avenge
Chien-chien's death

he's the only one
left to go after.

Four-Eyes is long gone.

He's the only one
you can hate now.

Isn't that so?

It wasn't me...

Don't listen to him.

I didn't do it... —Wait.

Listen to me.

If I were you.

I wouldn't end his
life with a b*llet.

You'll be going too easy on him.

Use your fists.

Make him feel every blow.

Unleash your hatred
and rage onto him!

Only then can that
hatred in you be freed.

No...

I'm telling you the
truth. I didn't k*ll her.

My mum has paid the
ransom! I didn't k*ll her.

I'm here... I'm here!

Give him the money.

Give him the money?

Hurry, your son is going to die.

I've given it to him...

Where's my son?

Notify the men
downhill to stop him.

Chief Prosecutor!

Hello?

Hello, everyone.
I'm Chen Chia-hao

from the Prevention
and Control Section.

Look at these two
people in front of you.

One represents judicial power

while the other
is a law enforcer.

For the past three years

they have been
abusing their power

to influence police
investigation

to keep a certain
spoilt brat safe.

And this year, they
outright forbade

the detectives from
investigating him

when he was a suspect.

From motel staff

to forensics staff
to drug dealers...

I wonder how much
money you've spent

to buy their silence.

But I do know this position

as the director of 3rd Precinct

must have cost you a
fortune, Huang Yom-yue.

Does this file look
familiar to you?

This file documents

where Director Huang's family

got their funds to
set up a company.

A lot of the funding
came from Singapore.

Isn't it awfully
coincidental that

the spoilt brat's father

is a tycoon in Singapore?

I came across this file

in your drawer by accident.

I'm putting it back in here.

If anyone wishes to expose them

please go ahead.

Sorry about this,
Director Huang.

I wasn't out to get you.

I just want to find out
who the m*rder*r is.

What is that schmuck
talking about?

Find out where Chen Chia-hao is

and start gathering evidence!

Yes, sir!

Where is my son?

Where is my son?

Where is my son?

Is this the place? —Yes.

Is it those
factories over there?

Keep a distance for now.

All right.

Stay here.

We don't know what the
situation's like in there.

Wait here.

I'm already here.

You can use an extra hand.

No. It might be dangerous.

Tze-wei.

I don't want to see
you getting hurt again.

It'll be fine.

Don't worry.

Stay behind me.

Hello!

Councillor Yang.

Hey, Detective.

Your colleague here
has quite a temper.

He's about to beat him to death.

So what is it going to be?

Are you going to arrest
me or rescue him?

Take your pick.

None of the above?

Since this doesn't concern me

I should get going.

Bye.

Chia-hao.

Chia-hao!

Chen Chia-hao, what
the hell are you doing?

You're a police officer!

You're a police officer.

You're not a k*ller.

Put it down.

Put it down now.

I didn't do it...

Even if you beat him to death

it won't bring Chien-chien

and Nicole back to life.

Let him go.

Chia-hao! —Chia-hao...

Enough! You're
going to k*ll him!

Stay back...

Stay back!

Chen Chia-hao!

Chia-hao... —Don't come near me.

Put the g*n down.

I don't want to sh**t you.

Put it down.

Madam Hsu...

If I can never know
who k*lled Chien-chien

let me at least end the pain.

Let me end the rage.

Chia-hao, don't.

Chia-hao, don't do it.

Chia-hao, what are you doing?

Chia-hao!

Chia-hao!

Chia-hao... drop the g*n!

Chia-hao, no!

Chia-hao, put the g*n down.

Chia-hao, don't. Please... no.

Chia-hao, put the
g*n down, please...

Don't. Put the g*n down.

Chia-hao... —Put it...

It's not loaded.

It's not loaded...

Why?

Why?

Why?

I understood everything
Li Chang-wen said.

He's a scumbag.

But there's someone

more contemptible than he is.

(Vietnamese) No.

It wasn't like that.

I only attacked her.

I didn't k*ll her.

I didn't k*ll her.

I didn't k*ll her.

I will catch that b*stard.

(Vietnamese)

The night Nicole died

she wasn't there to
meet Lin Ming-chieh.

She was there to help me check

if the migrant workers
were still around.

Nicole!

I'll take you to the
hospital. Come on.

—Let's go to the
hospital. —It hurts...

—Let's go to the
hospital. —I can't move.

It hurts too much.

Let's go to the
hospital. Come on...

I'm so tired...

Hold me...

I was too late.

I couldn't save her.

I know you're hurting too.

I want to end it.

Chia-hao...

Let me help you.

I want to help you...

I want to help you...

No.

Don't leave me. No...

Please don't go... no...

No...

No...

Nicole knew everything about me.

She knew what happened
to Chien-chien.

She knew I was with her

because she reminded
me of Chien-chien.

She wanted to help me.

She wanted to help me
find Chien-chien's k*ller.

Chien-chien...

No...

That was the first and only time

I did as she said.

I made use of her...

I made use of her body

to find out the truth.

The night when I saw Li
Chang-wen with the g*n.

I knew he was the one
who attacked Nicole.

But I had to hold back.

I had to.

I wanted to hit him
more than you did.

Chen Chia-hao!

I really wanted to
beat him to death.

But I couldn't.

I couldn't let Nicole's
sacrifice be for naught.

(Vietnamese) Listen.

Don't be afraid.

You still have a chance
to walk out of this.

There was a similar
case three years ago

where the victim was
also dismembered.

Confess to everything for now.

You'll walk away a
free man eventually.

Why are you helping me?

Me?

Because I'm looking
for the real k*ller.

It didn't have to come to this.

Madam Hsu.

I'm very grateful
to have met you.

You caught Nicole's k*ller.

And Chien-chien's
m*rder three years ago

you're the only cop

who still remembers her.

You could have been
one of the cops

who remembers the case.

Lin Ming-chieh is in a coma.

He might never wake up.

After everything I've done

I still don't know who
k*lled Chien-chien.

Is that so important?

Your life is ruined.
Is it worth it?

You could've been a
good police officer.

The only reason I
wanted to be a cop

was to bring those
b*stards to justice!

You didn't want to k*ll anyone.

Your g*n wasn't even loaded.

You just couldn't let
go of your hatred.

Madam Hsu.

Have you ever hated anyone

with every fibre of your being?

Those people who
preach forgiveness

have they ever
experienced real hatred?

Even if I hated
someone that much

I wouldn't do what you did

because I'm a police officer.

Really?

I thought you care so much about

these m*rder victims

because of what
happened with your dad.

Time's almost up.

Madam Hsu.

I must warn you.

I think Hu Ta-dong has
something against you.

He's just not coming
right at you yet.

That man scares me.

It's like he can read your mind

and then he pushes
you, over and over

to reveal your darkest desires.

You need to figure out
why he is after you.

I followed protocol

when I shot and
k*lled his friend.

He doesn't give a sh*t

if you were following protocol.

And I'm sure it's
more than just that.

How's your leg?

It's fine.

Except it still hurts a little.

Take care.

You take care too.

Have you eaten?

I'm not hungry.

Keep this for later then.

I made it myself.

Only you and my
son get to have it.

Thanks.
