01x13 - Evil Entanglement

[bunniefuu]

Defendant Hsu Yuan.

I'm asking you one more time.

What's your relationship
with Wang Ya-chih?

I confess.

I k*lled her.

But, Prosecutor,
I'm begging you.

Please don't tell
my wife about this.

I don't want her to know
I was cheating on her.

I'm begging you, please.

Both the police investigation

and the forensics
report indicate

the involvement of at
least two perpetrators.

So stop dodging my questions.

I've never met another woman

who understood me
the way Ya-chih did.

I loved her deeply.

And I thought she loved me too.

But she was faking it.

She just wanted my money.

She threatened to tell
my wife about our affair.

And I...

I just had to put a stop to it.

I'll summon your wife to court

to verify what you said.

Please don't do that,
Prosecutor. I...

The other perp is my driver.

He said he would get
rid of Ya-chih for me

in exchange for a
hefty sum of money.

But that wuss

he choked Ya-chih
until she passed out

and then he got cold feet.

Can you believe that as*h*le?

I...

I tossed back a few drinks

and then we k*lled her together.

What's your driver's name?

A-Dong.

His name is A-Dong.

Wanted criminal Hu
Ta-dong strikes again.

He's on the run from
the police for k*lling

a postgraduate student
from Hong Kong.

Police have also
uncovered new evidence

that indicates Hu
Ta-dong was behind

the m*rder of Hong Ke-ming

whose body was found
a few days back.

Hu Ta-dong had tried to frame

a female officer from
the 3rd Precinct for it.

The charges against
said female officer

have been dropped due to
insufficient evidence.

That silly boy was so
eager to please me.

He said Mojito was
his favourite drink

just so he could
have drinks with me.

But of course it wasn't.

I knew that boy.

He preferred whiskey.

Has everything
been taken care of?

More or less.

His family will handle the rest.

They'll be taking him

back to Hong Kong tomorrow.

OK.

If there's anything you
need help with in Taiwan

don't hesitate to let me know.

He was really brave.

He did everything
to protect you.

I should've been more vigilant.

The next time I see Hu
Ta-dong, I swear I'll...

It wasn't your fault.

Don't blame yourself.

Stanley and I didn't
want to do any of this

but we had no choice.

We should never have allowed

that monster into our lives.

We were scared witless

when we saw that dead woman

stuffed in the suitcase.

We didn't know what to do

so we just went along
with what Hu Ta-dong said.

Hu Ta-dong promised us

he'd get rid of Hong Ke-ming

and give us what Hong
Ke-ming had on us.

We didn't expect him
to be so cunning.

He turned the tables
on us and forced us

to frame you for m*rder.

What happened?

She's dead.

What?

How did this happen?

Your pervy friend
strangled her to death.

Go get me a big suitcase.

I'll get you what he has on you.

I'm on your side.

What's the matter?

I have something
to give to Susanna.

Are you all right?
Do you need my help?

Tze-wei.

Tze-wei.

Stop dwelling on it.

Cut yourself some slack.

Cut yourself some slack.

Don't think about it anymore.

Don't think about it anymore.

This is not your fault.

I'll wait for you over there.

OK.

Bereavement money.

You know our custom?

I'm sorry for your loss.

Madam Hsu.

I think this might help
you find your mother.

Stanley told me
about your mother

and he asked for my help.

I have to admit...

I was a little jealous at first.

Anyway, this is all
Stanley and I could do

to make it up to you.

You were eager to
learn Cantonese because

you wanted to see your
mum someday, right?

I'll always remember
Stanley fondly.

Don't give yourself
so much pressure.

You've tried your best.

Are you all right?

Did Susanna say
something to you?

She gave me

my mum's contact
information in Hong Kong.

That's great.

You should be happy.

I haven't looked at it yet.

I'm not so keen to recall

my childhood memories.

Besides, she's been
gone for years.

I'm not even sure if
she wants to see me.

Look.

I can't see my mum
even if I want to.

I mean, my biological mother.

It's too late for me.

But it's not too late for you.

So seize this chance.

You've been working so hard

to learn Cantonese.

You did it all for
her, didn't you?

I'm not ready for this.

Let's talk about this again

after Hu Ta-dong is caught.

Sure. Give me your phone.

We'll take things
one step at a time.

It will all be
sorted out someday.

We'll put this away for now.

We'll look at it
when you're ready.

All right, it's safely
tucked away now.

It's all right now...
it's all right.

None of this is your fault.

You've done all you could.

It's not your fault.

Have a good rest tonight, OK?

It's all right...

I met a rich and
powerful man lately.

Look here.

When the hour hand
reaches this position

I'll be back.

Stay here and read your comics

while you wait for me, OK?

Where are you going?

Your ride is here.

I've got to go.

Hu Ta-dong.

What the hell do you want?

Do you really think
you can get away

after all the
lives you've taken?

I have no intention of fleeing.

Why should I?

I'm not done with my game.

What is the endgame?

k*lling me?

k*lling Hsu Tze-wei? Is that it?

Go to hell!

Don't be so hostile.

I'm helping you out here.

I'm helping you
get to the truth.

Don't you want to know

what really happened
23 years ago?

How do I know if you're
telling the truth?

The gold watch.

Do you still have it?

I stole that from
my boss, Hsu Yuan.

To be honest

your mum was really nice to me.

Hsu Yuan

that friggin' b*stard!

I didn't k*ll your mum, OK?

He made me dispose of her body!

You need to get that straight!

Hsu Yuan didn't k*ll
your mum either.

Hell...

I can't stay here anymore.

I'm sorry.

Sergeant Hsu Tze-wei
will be transferred to.

Crime Investigation
Unit in the south.

Tze-wei.

What's that about?

What?

Tze-wei, did you
request for a transfer?

I know nothing about this.

There's something
fishy about this.

Boss.

My grandfather is the
only family I have left.

How do I look after him

if I'm transferred to the south?

What transfer? You
thought I did that?

I got transferred too.

I'm still under investigation.

I have no idea how
this will turn out.

Tze-wei.

In all the years I've
been on the force

I've never seen a
criminal so adamant

about coming at
a police officer.

Hu Ta-dong is not going to stop.

You have to be careful.

Take care.

New Taipei City
Councillor Yang Chih-hsiao

withdrew from the
upcoming local election

to show support for a
female police officer.

It's speculated that

this is a strategic
move on Yang's part

to turn the situation
to his advantage

when he makes his
bid for legislator.

Boss.

So I'll take down
the poster? —Sure.

A-Syun.

We won't be needing
the new jackets.

Put this away for me. —OK.

Thanks. —No problem.

Thanks again.

Chih-hsiao. —Yeah?

You have one last
appointment to keep.

What appointment? I'm
not campaigning anymore.

It's a social event.

Old Councillor Yang set it up.

So who will I be meeting?

Old Councillor Yang himself.

Did my dad say
what this is about?

Nice! —Thank you.

Don't be shy! Come up and sing!

Nice going...

Old Councillor Yang,
Councillor Yang.

Welcome! A toast to you.

Thank you.

Feel free to go
onstage and sing.

Dad, it's been a while
since we drank together.

Here.

I know you must be upset

with my decision to
withdraw from the election.

I understand.

Well, you made your choices.

The media have been nice to you.

They're all saying
good things about you.

You didn't embarrass
me. All's good.

So you're not mad? —No, I'm not.

I'm sorry to make you worry.

Here, Dad.

Don't get too cosy
with that cop.

You know who I'm talking about.

Dad, Tze-wei is not
like any other woman.

Lulu, song number 22655 please.

Sure, I'll enter that
for you right now.

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

Did you forget
how your mum died?

Old Councillor Yang
is going to sing.

Please give him a
round of applause!

Thank you!

The stronger the love,
the stronger the hate.

In this world of desire.

Do you know how
men take revenge?

Hsu Yuan didn't k*ll
your mum either.

The b*tch who ruined our lives

is still out there,
free as a friggin' bird.

That friggin' b*tch.

I'll give you a hint.

She's from Hong Kong.

That b*tch is still alive.

We can still have our revenge.

It's not too late.

Who's that? —Tze-wei, it's me.

Chih-hsiao.

I hear you...

OK, I'm coming.

Do you know what time it is?

I'm sorry to bother
you so late at night.

Didn't you go drinking
with your dad?

Yeah, my dad... —You
reek of alcohol.

We had a long chat.

Are you all right?

Sorry for showing up like this.

How about I get you
some water? —Thanks.

Here. Have some water.

Yang Chih-hsiao,
what are you doing?

You're mine.

You're mine...

Chih-hsiao.

You're mine... —Yang Chih-hsiao.

Get off me.

What's wrong?

Why are you doing this to me?

Tell me what's wrong.

Why?

Why are you doing this to me?

What's going on?

What's wrong?

Look here.

When the hour hand
reaches this position

I'll be back.

Where are you going?

That b*tch is still alive.

We can still have our revenge.

It's not too late.

What's going on?

Tell me what's wrong.

I just.

It's OK. —I just...

I just wanted to
see you so badly.

I just needed to see you.

I'm not going anywhere.

I promise.

Do you want to

stay here and get some rest?

I'm all right.

I'm fine.

Get some rest.

I'll get going.

I'll get going.

Tze-wei.

Do you know the
municipal consultant?

No, I don't.

Be honest with us.

Your new position
is really cushy.

Put in a good word for me.

It's exhausting being
the captain here.

Tze-wei, does this transfer mean

you're getting benched?

Don't read too much into
it. Just do your job.

Does Councillor Yang
know about this?

Don't tell him.

All right.

I'll prove that

I can be the best
police officer there is.

Grab your gear. It's
time to haul the net in.

You're still coming with us?

I'm still your sergeant
for now. —Of course.

You can take that foot
out of your mouth now.

Sir! —Going for an operation?

Be careful. —I will. Thanks.

Our target today is a syndicate

that forges identity documents.

They don't seem to
be carrying firearms

but everyone should
still stay vigilant.

Roger that! —Got it.

Her name's Liang Kai-li.

Here's her information.

I don't see her here.

I didn't agree to
bring her to you.

Don't push your luck.

What do you mean, push my luck?

Are you backing out now?

You've stopped hating her?

She got away with m*rder

while you had to
grow up motherless.

Don't you want revenge anymore?

Will getting revenge
change anything?

I just want this to be over.

Oh, drop that saintly act.

You can't let go of your hatred.

That's why you came back to me.

Isn't that so?

You want me to do the
dirty job for you.

You're a monster.

Get off your high horse already.

Don't give me the
crap about justice

and how much you
care about that cop.

You're just using
her love for you

to suppress your
darkest desires.

Go! Go! Get them!

Freeze! —Don't move!

What's going on? —Don't move!

Stay down. —Put your
hands up. Freeze!

Go! Go! —Where do you
think you're going?

Get over here.
Put your hands up!

Are you Detective
Hsu? —So what if I am?

I was told to give
you something...

Keep your hands
where I can see 'em!

Big-Eye, put on your gloves.

I was told to tell you

if you want to know more

go to Councillor Yang's father.

He's the one who
got you transferred.

I was paid NT$50,000
to be the messenger.

This is all I know.

"Jin Dong-guang"?

But isn't that Hu
Ta-dong in the photo?

Oh yeah, it is.

He changed his name?

Get up.

We'll just bring it
all back with us.

Believe what you will.

I've got you what you wanted.

I'm warning you now.

Leave Hsu Tze-wei out of this.

Oh, you're warning me?

Bring that woman to me then.

Listen.

You're not so different from me.

The hatred in you won't go away

until you find an outlet for it.

You know that as well as I do.

I'm Four-Eyes.

I guess we're both
stuck in Taiwan now.

Since life has
brought us together

why don't we team up
to do something big?

Tai. —I haven't seen
you around for a while.

Yeah... I've got to go.

Why do you have
that in your hand?

Nothing. We were
just taking a stroll

and I'm going to
fix my car later.

Come on, let's have tea.

Give me that!

Have some fried beancurd.

Put your hat on.

Relax.

We've been on the run for ages.

No one is going to recognise us.

Doesn't hurt to play it safe.

Fine, fine...

What do you think?

I bought it from a homeless man.

I tweaked the photo.

You're Hu Ta-dong now.

Dong...

I got us passports too.

We have new identities now.

Hopefully this time,
we won't make it

onto the wanted list so soon.

Hell... —Hell!

Don't jinx it, you idiot!

Sheesh!

Eat your damn beancurd.

Hell, I hope you choke on it.

Sheesh. —Hell...

Me and my big mouth.

Taipei's own Charlie's Angel.

Police academy belle
joins Special Ops.

Dammit!

Hi, old Councillor Yang.

Sorry to make you
come all the way here.

I know why you got
me transferred.

You don't beat
around the bush, huh?

You're gutsy.

I have nothing against you.

I'm only doing this for my son.

It doesn't matter where
I'm transferred to.

I'm not going anywhere.

You cannot be with him.

Do you know who he is?

I know about his childhood

and I'm painfully aware
of my family background.

But what my father did

has nothing to do with me.

Chih-hsiao knows
about my father.

He knows my father
k*lled someone.

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.

Look.

I can't see my mum
even if I want to.

I have a loved one
who was a victim too.

I know what it's like.

Helping to ease her grief

over losing a loved one

is just as important as

bringing the k*ller to justice.

Have you tried looking
for your mother?

Yeah.

And?

And that was that.

I've learnt to let go.

He's my son now.

I want to protect him.

You really think this
relationship will work out?
