They're catching up with us!
Why are you driving so fast?
Tell them to slow down then.
Stop!
Which package do you think he can afford?
Probably the cheapest...
I doubt he can afford even
the cheapest...
You're such an idiot!
There is a funeral tomorrow.
Make a call right now.
Ask them to keep anything
that could be re-used.
Okay.
Can't even say hello to me?
Hello Ms. Yeh.
I heard that you lost your makeup case.
You can't even look after your tools properly.
It's not very professional of you, is it?
Ms. Yeh, your company van looks just like an ambulance!
I bet you paid a huge bribe to the officials.
You have to keep improving your service.
Otherwise you'll go out of business soon.
How could this happen?
Sir, please accept my condolence.
Please look after your children.
So your wife wouldn't worry about you in Heaven.
Hey, is it how you win the case?
Don't you think you're too daring?
We arrived first!
You youngsters have no respect for the seniors.
We respect the family's choice.
You have to keep improving your service.
Otherwise you'll go out
of business soon.
You!
When I tried to raise
the awareness of hygiene
and professionalism amongst the morticians,
I was often challenged by the traditionalists.
When we worked together,
they kept asking me
why I dressed that like.
If I was so sacred, I should just give up the job.
But like the health and safety issues
I mentioned last time,
it is meant to protect not only the morticians
but the bodies as well.
Miss, if we dress like that
when doing the make-up,
wouldn't it upset the family?
That's exactly why we need to explain it to the family.
The bodies go off very rapidly
as bacteria grow.
In order to leave the family with
the most beautiful memories of the deceased,
we must pay close attention to
the health and safety issues.
This is what I'd call a professional mortician.
The other idea I'd like to share with you is
the empathy for the deceased's dignity.
Death isn't scary; it's even sacred.
We die only once in our lives.
How to help the deceased bid farewell
to this world with dignity
and to comfort the family left behind
are the most important jobs for morticians.
A life without accidents isn't a real life,
is it?
Yeah... you can never predict anything in your life.
I've got such a strange feeling.
I feel I'm relieved.
I don't have to worry about this and that.
I used to worry about everything, even the unnecessary.
I'd thought what would happen to my husband and children
if I'd had an accident?
But now I've come to realize that
it was unnecessary for me to worry about it.
They will get to understand that
death is part of life.
Then they'll learn to face it
and live with it.
Do I look alright?
Actually, I rarely put on makeup.
Don't worry.
They'll remember your most beautiful looks.
Mr. Li, this way please.
Thank you.
You're welcome. This is our job.
You stayed up late again?
Dr. Chou,
isn't it bit unhygienic?
I changed the gloves.
OK. These are for food, okay?
Do you play tennis?
Not tennis. I play squash.
You hit the ball against the wall.
Against the wall? Don't you feel bit lonely?
Right, Chih-Jen told me you're giving up yourjob at the hospital.
You want to become a full-time coroner.
Patients nowadays cause too much trouble.
They try to sue the doctors whenever possible.
Dead people wouldn't ask me to save them,
would they?
These are what we got this week. Have a look.
Hey, do you make good money as a private detective?
I think I could be a good one.
Like a sexy Bond girl?
No.
I'd be a "cute" one.
Have you found any clue?
Is our doctor the killer or not?
What do you think?
I think...
I think he's not.
He's such a nice guy.
But... the killer often turns out
to be the nice guy, right?
So you're suspicious of him too?
How would I know?!
Ching, do they look all right?
Move it over a little bit.
Okay.
Yes.
Min-Hsiu,
they'll bring
the deceased's photo later.
All right.
Chih-Jen is talking to the family
about tomorrow's rundown.
Right, I ran into Mr. Li earlier this afternoon.
He said Chih-Jen gave him some discount?
Oh yes, he did.
Chih-Jen says ethics mean everything in our business.
We should do some charity work too.
Min-Hsiu, this is the deceased's photo.
What's the matter?
She was my teacher in senior high.
Excuses me, are you...
I'm the makeup artist.
My name is Nieh.
I'm her husband.
So Ms. Chen was married...
I'm sorry.
She was my music teacher in senior high.
If Ting had known that her student still remembered her,
she would have been very happy.
Why did she die so suddenly?
Sorry, I shouldn't ask so many questions.
She killed herself with sleeping pills.
I'll leave her to you. Thank you.
I'll make her look as
beautiful as you remember her.
I never thought I would see you again.
Is it that difficult to face me?
How are you?
Don't cry.
If you do,
the deceased couldn't leave this world behind.
It wouldn't be very professional of you,
right?
Happy Birthday!
Is that all?
Yes, I do.
Silly girl.
Do you like it?
Yes.
Where is yours?
Come on, make your wishes.
Or you'll be late for the class again.
Okay.
So I'm making my wishes.
My first wish is...
give me a kiss.
Cheeky monkey.
My second wish is...
give me another kiss.
The third wish...
Keep it to yourself.
Oh.
Wu Min-Hsiu, it's you again!
What's wrong with you?
You don't like working with your classmates?
Go get the mannequin
If you really don't like working with people,
I could send you to work with the dead
when you finish your training.
Excuse me, Mr. Nieh.
The funeral is about to begin.
Is the makeup artist here today?
You mean Min-Hsiu?
Yes.
Is there any problem?
No, no problem. She's done a great job.
I just want to thank her.
Okay, I'll tell her about it.
Thank you.
Is Mr. Hsieh already here?
He called just now. He wanted to change it to 5.
He said he was going to buy a rabbit.
He'll be here later.
I see.
I'd like to take a rest.
Call me at 4.30.
Yes.
Doc, you like going to the night clubs too?
No, I don't.
If you're not going, can I have this?
Sure.
Hello.
Is it Wu Min-Hsiu speaking?
Yes, speaking.
Hello. It is Nieh Cheng-Fu.
Chen Ting's husband.
Can I have a word with you now?
Yes, please.
I want to thank you.
You've made it.
Ah?
You let me see her most beautiful looks
as I remember.
This is my job.
Moreover, I wonder if you could do me a favor.
Ting never talked about her past.
But I want to know a little more about it.
But I'd been out of touch with Ms. Chen
since I left school.
Even just a little something will do.
I would like to know anything about her past.
Is it alright with you?
Have you heard this piece of music?
Yes.
It's Schumann.
You like classical music?
Not really.
I had a part-time job at a music shop.
There is no one in school today.
I'll leave you alone.
Okay.
Please close the door when you leave.
Yes, I'll do. Thank you.
We have a painting that looks like what you can see from here.
Ting used to have her classes here?
Ms. Chen often played the piano alone in here.
Can you play the piano?
I had a few lessons before.
Ting left a piano behind.
I want to sell it.
Min-Hsiu,
I wonder if you could do me a favor.
I'd like you to teach Ching.
You know I don't take in assistants.
I know. That's why I'm asking for a favor.
Could you find someone else?
But I think you're perfect for the job.
Don't you want to promote your new ideas?
You should start from people around you.
Ching has no family. They'd all passed away.
She's completely on her own.
Please help her, alright?
I'll think about it.
My car is just over there.
It's okay. Take it.
It's okay, right?
Thanks!
I can leave you my car and money.
Who wants this junk?
I've got some questions for you.
It's about Chen Ting.
Min-Hsiu!
Get out of here first.
Let's find somewhere to talk.
Wind down your window.
Wave goodbye to your colleague.
Min-Hsiu!
What do you want to know about Chen Ting?
Chen Ting was your teacher in senior high.
She was Nieh Cheng-Fu's wife.
What's the relationship between you and Nieh?
There must be some misunderstanding.
I got to know Dr. Nieh
because I did the makeup for Ms. Chen.
That's all.
What on earth do you want?
I think Chen died in suspicious circumstances.
Are you suspecting Dr. Nieh?
That's impossible.
He loved Chen Ting very much.
That's a completely different matter.
It was written clearly in the death report.
She killed herself with sleeping pills.
But I know that Chen Ting was insane.
And Nieh Cheng-Fu was her doctor.
None of these is mentioned in the report!
What?
You can't suspect him simply because
he was her doctor.
You know Dr. Chou, the coroner, right?
Dr. Chou?
What does he have anything to do with it?
It was such a coincidence!
He was the coroner on this case.
Chou and Nieh
went to the same senior high,
the same university,
did their military service
in the same regiment.
Their friendship goes a long way back...
And Nieh appointed Chou as the coroner.
What do you think of it?
There is nothing unusual to appoint a coroner.
Who said so?
You can ask the coroner not to do the autopsy if you know him.
You can get the death certificate straight away.
Hey, do you watch baseball games?
Many people believe that
the designated hitters are bound to hit home runs.
But in fact, they strike out all the time.
I could only say that Nieh is a very good coach.
What does it have anything to do with me?
I need your help.
You're the last one who dealt with her body.
And you can talk to Nieh.
I believe you stand the best chance to find me the clues.
You're a cop?
Bang!
Sorry, it's just a silly joke.
Call my cell phone if you want to speak to me.
Before we find any new evidence,
I want you to keep quiet.
Since Chen Ting was your teacher,
you want to find out how she died, right?
You play the right hand.
Here?
Oh, this one.
I'll play with you.
Yes, the black key and down.
Yes, repeat it.
Can you make it?
I think so.
Wow, cool.
It's bit loose.
You really can't wait, can you?
Let's give it a try.
Be careful. I don't want to burn your fingers.
Why do you love that piece of music so much?
It was a love letter Schumann wrote to his lover, Clara,
who was nine years his junior.
Just like us!
It was to remind Clara
not to forget him.
What do you mean?
We'll never be apart!
What happened to them then?
They got married.
They were so lucky!
We'll get married too.
Like my parents.
We'll be a happy family.
Then we'll have a lovely kid like me.
What are you laughing at?
How are we going to have children?
We live in the 21st century.
You have to have faith in the future.
You're so naive.
Sit down, please.
What would you like to drink? My treat.
No, thank you.
How do you want me to help you?
Let me make it clear first.
I don't know what will come out of it either.
I only want to find out the truth.
I've no interest in anything else.
What's the truth?
Don't be so nervous.
When you were dealing with her body,
did you find anything suspicious?
Like injuries or something.
If she killed herself with pills,
there should be pills
or bottles left at her place.
You're a cop.
You can research her place.
Miss,
you need a search warrant to do so.
That's why I need new evidence
to reopen the case.
That's why I need your help.
What are you taking?
I'm sorry.
This is a great photo.
You looked so happy.
We were indeed very happy at that time.
What's the stain on the floor?
We spilled some red wine. Tough stain.
So that painting...
That's the scenery outside the classroom, right?
Yeah, it looks like it.
It must be the piano buyer.
Please help me with it.
You're in the hospital!
The last check showed that she was 5 months pregnant.
Then she died.
So she didn't have an abortion?
Well, at least not on the record.
Unless she went somewhere illegal.
But it didn't say that she was pregnant
in the death certificate.
This can't be right!
Since she had died,
no one paid attention to it.
But a 5 months unborn baby disappeared like that.
Doesn't anyone care about it?
Yes, I do.
So do you.
Let's go.
Min-Hsiu, what's the matter?
Are you alright?
Are you okay?
Min-Hsiu, are you okay?
I'm okay.
I need to go to the restroom.
Get the wax ready.
Hello. Hello?
Min-Hsiu, this is Mrs. Chiu.
Ms. Yeh.
Mmm.
Min-Hsiu.
I have to go now.
Chih-Jen will send someone over to help.
Ms. Yeh...
I was massaging her leg...
as I always do.
All of sudden, she stopped breathing!
Here is the doctor.
She lost consciousness due to the lack of oxygen in the brain.
She's out of danger.
She'll be fine after the treatments.
We were lucky that
Chih-Jen was here to help.
I was worried to death
when they were resuscitating your mom.
How could you make it here?
Arert there two funerals tomorrow?
Oh, that's okay. Everything is ready.
Chih-Jen, I've already asked Ms. Chiu to help us.
I don't want to disrupt your work.
Not at all.
Look,
your mom would be happy
to see someone new.
She'd be bored if she keeps
seeing the same person every day, right?
Can she feel anything?
Of course she can.
You can tell that from her eyes.
I don't want you to waste time on me.
Alright, I should leave you alone.
I'm off to the office.
Okay. Thank you.
Thank you, sir.
Thank you. - Sir, are you really leaving?
Well, we'll see each other from time to time.
Sir, you must come back to see us.
Yes, I'll do.
Sir, we'll miss you.
Keep working hard.
Keep going, doctor.
Sir, we're off then.
Goodbye, sir.
Thank you.
Dr. Chou.
Hey, what brought you here?
My mom is admitted to the hospital.
Oh, really.
Is she okay?
Yes, she's fine.
I need to ask you something.
Please have a seat.
No, thanks.
Do you remember a case recently...
A woman called Chen Ting.
It was a suicide.
Maybe...
I always have so many cases on my hands.
Chen Ting?
Yes.
Yeah, probably...
Did she really commit suicide?
What's up? What was she to you?
She was my teacher in senior high.
I just felt... Maybe I'm wrong...
but she didn't look like someone who would kill herself.
Every suicide case I've dealt with...
all the family and friends
believe that they know the deceased well.
But the fact is
they don't understand them at all.
Do you really understand your teacher?
Gosh, I'm running late.
I've got a meeting later.
I need to get ready.
What is that?
I'll quit teaching at the university next semester.
The students gave me this plaque.
I'm the coach.
The squash club.
Yes, you told me about it.
The club was called
something different.
It was disbanded later
because there weren't enough members.
When Dr. Chou was doing his PhD,
he founded the club again.
Then it was called the 'squash club'.
He is...
Oh, he's one of our seniors.
He plays with us from time to time.
He was one or two years below Dr. Chou.
I didn't expect you to come as a patient.
I thought you'd come for other business.
I'm sorry. I should have made an appointment.
It's fine.
What's the matter?
My mom was admitted into the hospital yesterday.
I couldn't help myself thinking about all sorts of things last night.
I used to do that when I was new in the business.
When I looked at the bodies,
I'd wonder why people lived
and why they died...
I hadn't thought about it for a long time.
I think you're just tired of your job.
This is just a phase.
Shift your focus to something else.
And you'll get better.
May I ask a question?
Why did Ms. Chen commit suicide?
Does her death have any impact on you?
I don't think so.
It just occurred to me.
Ting was my patient.
She came to me four years ago.
She was suffering from major depression.
She was in a terrible state
but the drugs worked very well.
Gradually I reduced the dose.
Because I was afraid she'd become too dependent on drugs.
Become too dependent on drugs.
But then she refused to speak.
I knew well that she came to me only for drugs.
She remained silent all the time.
She kept crying.
She just kept crying.
Often I watched her cry.
I could tell that there seemed to be no end
to her sadness.
I wasn't sure if I could cure her.
But my professionalism failed me. I fell in love with her.
Later she started to get better.
I thought it was because of our
dependence on each other.
I thought it was because of me
she was going in the right direction
until one day I found out that
her problem had never gone away.
But it was too late.
I was her shelter.
I knew she was in agony.
But I couldn't understand
why she was so cold to herself,
so cruel to herself...
I couldn't forgive her. Why did she kill our child?
Maybe that was best for her.
And how about me?
How about me?
I'm sorry. I...
Ting had a tattoo on her arm.
Do you remember it?
Yeah.
During the First World War,
many woman had tattoos done on their arms.
They were to remind
them of their lost lovers.
Did Ms. Chen tell you why she got the tattoo?
She never talked about her past.
She completely denied her past.
It must have been really painful for her.
So she had escaped.
You really loved her.
You know how much I wished
that tattoo was done for me.
Do you think she loved me?
Dad!
Mom.
I don't want to go home anymore.
It's terrible at home.
My mom has stopped talking.
Your mom would be even lonelier if you aren't there.
How can adults be so selfish?
Doesrt marriage mean anything to them?
You have to believe that
maybe they had tried their best.
What's the point of believing it?
My dad has left, hasn't he?
At least,
it'll make you feel better.
That's why I believe in you.
I'm so afraid that one day you'll leave me.
How could it be possible?
Min-Hsiu.
What?
Come have a look.
It's such a cruel world.
It creates such a beautiful rainbow in the sky
but makes it disappear in an instant.
When did you become so pessimistic?
OK. Okay, it's done.
Thank you.
This is my signature work!
Let me see.
Let me take a picture of you. A great memento!
Come on.
Okay, say cheese!
Thank you.
Do you like this pattern?
Yes, very much.
It's very lovely.
So the rainbow...
will never disappear.
Move on!
You fucking sit up over there.
Get the handcuffs!
This is the robber.
This is the victim.
Make a statement!
What are you staring at?
I'm helping you with your business.
He's a drug dealer.
Probably those people are all his clients.
The night club where the robbery took place.
Oasi Cielo
You fucking drug dealer!
What?
You believe whatever they say?
Do you? How could you?
You have to catch people
red-handed, right?
Or I could call you a drug dealer too.
Drug dealer! Arrest yourself then.
Drug dealer! Drug dealer!
You deserved to be robbed.
Yung-Ming.
Help! Help!
Shut the fuck up!
Fuck!
What are you staring at? Make a statement!
If you want to come back to the force,
stick to the rules.
Don't disrupt our routine work.
What's your routine work?
Maintain public order.
Ensure social security.
Prevent crimes.
Protect people.
These are all bullshit!
If you want to pursue justice,
you should be a judge or a prosecutor.
That's not our job.
I think we have different
understanding of our job.
You beat that bastard to death.
None of us thought you were wrong.
But you know very well
what cost Tien-Jers life.
Officer Kuo, I understand how you feel.
How could you?
My partner was doing his best as a cop.
He got shot dead in return.
How should I feel?
You're just looking for excuses for your guilt.
If you hadrt acted recklessly on that day,
Officer Chen Tien-Jen wouldn't have died in the line of duty.
If Tien-Jen was killed in the line of duty,
then death wasn't enough for the criminal who shot him!
Isn't this the rightful revenge?
This is justice!
Revenge and justice are different matters.
We have to maintain law and order in this country.
Everything works in the system.
Fuck the system.
The law is made by snobs like you.
The law doesn't represent justice.
You're contradicting yourself.
Your job and your so-called justice
are given by the law.
Don't fucking blame me!
Who do you think you are?
Officer Kuo, if you keep behaving like this,
you're just proving you're unsuitable for the job.
Please sit down.
Then open your bag and show me.
Why should I show you my bag? Let go of me.
Let go of me!
I saw you go through
the makeup cases.
Say it again!
Say it again and I'll tear your mouth open!
How dare you talk to me like that?
You're such a big bully. Shame on you!
Shame on who?!
Ms. Yeh. Ms. Yeh.
Ching, can you shut up for a minute?
How can you be so rude to a senior?
Is this how you train your staff?
How dare she talk to me like that?
Is this how you talk to a senior?
You've got no reason, no evidence.
And you call me a thief.
Do you know what's right and what's wrong?
I did see her steal things from the case!
Or why doesn't she dare to show me her bag?
You!
Because you're guilty!
You're the guilty one!
Why should I let you check my bag? Ah?
Because you stole things!
Ching.
Bullshit!
Ching, come with me.
Thief!
Say it again!
I'm sorry, Ms. Yeh. I apologize.
What a nice new girl you have!
Young, beautiful and sharp.
All wasted in this profession!
I wasn't lying.
The foundation and brushes are gone!
Look!
That's enough.
Have a look.
Enough is enough.
You don't believe me
or you don't care about it?
They all look the same.
Even you find them in her bag,
you can't prove anything.
You do know what she is up to.
Why do you turn a blind eye to it?
She does it on purpose!
If you want to keep arguing,
I should leave you alone then.
That Wu Min-Hsiu...
seems to suspect something.
You said there wouldn't be any problem.
Min-Hsiu, Chih-Jen is here.
Your mom is back?
Yeah.
You were looking for me? What's so urgent?
What did you say about Ching?
She hasn't come to work for two days.
I can't find her anywhere.
She doesn't answer the phone either.
Ching's makeup case was stolen a couple of days ago.
I had no other choice but asked Yeh for help.
You asked Yeh for help?
What were you thinking?
The family had fixed a time to nail the coffin.
We were in such a hurry.
You were in the hospital. I didn't want to bother you.
A job is a job.
There is nothing to do with me in the hospital.
Mrs. Chiu, please put it away.
Oh, okay.
What did you say about Yeh?
Ching thought she set us up.
So she stopped Yeh at the door.
I told her off and asked her to go.
Did you get in touch with her family?
She has no family. They'd all passed away.
I called her uncle who used to look after her.
He said she disappeared from time to time.
She might turn up a while later.
But I'm still very worried about her.
Did you notice the scar on her left wrist?
Don't worry.
I'll look after you.
We can go to Taipei
as soon as I graduate.
No one knows us there.
Hmm.
We'll have a place with a balcony.
Yeah.
We'll be enjoying the breeze in the sun.
We'll have a dog.
And we'll be watching the clouds
and the planes.
And smoking.
(Wu Min-Hsiu.)
Thanks.
I'm sorry. I know it's very late.
It's alright.
Why all of a sudden?
I wanted to talk to someone.
I just realized that you were the only one I could talk to.
How about your mom?
Is she okay?
My mom...
My mom is fine.
She came back from the hospital today.
It must be tough on you.
Whenever people ask about my mom,
they always show their sympathy for me.
But to be honest, I'm used to it.
I wonder if you're obsessed with your job.
Like as you're looking at me now,
would you be thinking...
how to put makeup on my face?
True. I used to do that.
But not anymore.
If I die,
you could do the makeup for me.
Don't joke about such things.
I can't do it
to people I know.
I can't be objective in that case.
It sounds similar to my job.
How about Ting?
That was different.
I hadn't seen her for a very long time.
Actually, we're in such an interesting situation.
We got to know each other through Ting's death.
Mrs. Wu, I'm sorry
that I asked you to come.
The thing is...
there are rumors around the school.
The relationship between Min-Hsiu and Ms. Chen is too close.
The rumors have damaged the school's reputation.
Damaged the school's reputation?
Yes.
To be honest,
they're a bit 'too close'.
A little bit abnormal.
The teachers have come to a conclusion that
they want Min-Hsiu to transfer to other school.
Transfer?
It's true that we're very close to each other.
I think
I can learn a lot from her.
So we're not only teacher and student
but also... friends...
Min-Hsiu, what's wrong?
Is there anything you want to say?
Is it true?
Eh?
As for transferring schools,
since Wu is about to graduate,
I hope she is allowed to finish her studies here.
If you still have any concern,
I'd be willing to resign.
If there is no other business,
I should go back to the class.
I'm sorry.
I can't let my mom down again.
A couple days ago, I woke up in the middle of the night.
There was no one home.
I thought I was left alone.
Later I found my mom sitting in the living room.
I knew she was waiting for my dad.
I feel so sorry for her.
I'm all she has got.
You're all I've got too!
I'll leave
before the end of the semester.
If I go to Taipei,
will you come?
You've grown up.
You've learned to be silent.
Make yourself home.
Don't work too hard.
All of these sleeping pills and tranquilizers are legal.
But they're prescription drugs.
Stilnox. For example, this is a Stilnox.
It's a Olass IV drug.
These without any marks...
are probably just some vitamin pills.
But this one...
is likely to be chloroamphetamine.
Amphetamine?
It's the so-called 'ecstasy'.
I'm not so sure.
But the pacifier mark indicates that
it's the most popular drug at the moment.
I can't get the post for you anymore.
My boss was asking
why it took ages to get some letters.
Then will we see each other again?
Will you miss me?
Why didn't you dress like this just now?
Men are so difficult to please!
Isn't the nurse's uniform good enough for you?
I'm going clubbing with friends tonight.
Would you like to join us?
What's this?
It's free to get in if you have this rubber band.
My boss gave it to me.
Which club?
Oasi Cielo
Wow, you've learned to lock the door.
I'd been looking for you all afternoon.
Your cellphone was switched off.
You never need me so urgently.
What's up?
I should check on my partner, right?
Why did you ask me to come here?
To show you things Nieh Cheng-Fu didn't tell you.
Can you see the club behind?
Nieh is in there.
He's probably in a corner.
What?
He's probably hidden in a corner.
Come on, sweetie. Let's play.
Choke me. Choke it harder.
*** Keep choking... Choke...
30 ecstasy pills.
Behave yourself.
This is to get you high.
Not to kill you.
When did you become a priest?
I just don't want you to follow your woman.
Franklin
Come on,
cheer up.
Tell you what.
The DJ tonight is so fucking good.
I promise he'll get you high high high.
You'll be in Heaven. You won't remember anyone.
Hey, did you see him?
Fuck.
A psychiatrist on drugs.
Police! Sit down and show your IDs.
****
What should we do?
Ignore them.
Just keep an eye on Nieh Cheng-Fu.
What are you doing here?
Come on, Nieh Cheng-Fu is gone.
Don't worry. Cops don't know this way out.
Who is she?
Forget about it.
The guy who led Nieh away is a drug dealer.
I'm not talking about drugs like painkillers.
You know what I mean, right?
A psychiatrist on drugs.
Cool, isn't it?
Doctors are human beings too.
He needs to find a way to escape from the reality.
You've fucking lost your mind?
You've learned all the bullshit he taught you?
You believe Chen killed herself with sleeping pills?
Tell you what.
Nine of ten murderers who killed their lovers
had love-hate relationships with the victims.
There is no way that he'd have hurt her.
If he wasn't guilty,
why is he acting so suspiciously?
Who doesn't have secrets?
How about you?
I'd been looking for you all afternoon.
And this is what I found.
You're not happy with the psychiatric assessment Nieh made to you.
So you're trying to take revenge on him.
Bullshit!
They're just a bunch of wimps.
That was just how they forced me out.
Nieh Cheng-Fu takes drugs because
he can't cope with his wife's death.
You could accuse him of taking drugs.
But I'm not an idiot.
I won't be tricked into
hurting someone who is already hurt.
You believe the words of a drug addict?
You're such an idiot!
Fucking hell.
Bye.
Thank you, Min-Hsiu.
Bye.
Hello.
This is Nieh Cheng-Fu.
Hi, Dr. Nieh.
I'm sorry. I know it's very late.
It's okay. What's up?
I would like to talk to you.
Can you come to my clinic?
Now?
Dr. Chou, are you hurrying home?
I got something that I want you to have a look.
Excuse me, are you...
I'm a police detective.
Most important is
you're a coroner who committed a crime.
I don't know what you're talking about.
How exactly did Chen Ting die?
What are you and Nieh Cheng-Fu up to?
You went to the same university.
He appointed you as the coroner.
Both Nieh and Chen are on drug.
I know a drug dealer
who is happy to be the witness.
You know what I'm talking about, right?
Nieh Cheng-Fu didn't want a post-mortem.
Usually we don't do post-mortems.
The Taiwanese tend
to keep the bodies intact.
He wanted me to help. I didn't know anything.
So Chen Ting died of a drug overdose?
Then why did Nieh ask you to lie?
Only God knows why!
A suicide by sleeping pills sounds more decent?
I was just doing a favor for an old friend.
I've got nothing to do with the rest.
(Kuo Yung-Ming)
Did you sleep well?
What would you like to eat?
Anything is fine.
Come on.
There is coffee.
It'd be nice to have French toast too.
How do you feel when you see these images?
I discovered something a few days ago.
Even if I find out all the answers...
or the truth...
Nothing could be changed.
Ting had never loved me.
You could have saved her.
Why should I save her?
I hated her.
Not only her. I hate you even more.
Why should I be the only one who suffers?
What do you want?
What do I want?
I want to prove that you're the killer.
You watched her die!
I'm the killer because I watched her die?
Ting chose you.
And she had tried her best.
You should have believed her.
Go.
I'll take care of it.
I want to report to the police.
Hsi-Tun District.
A man died at Nieh Cheng-Fu Psychiatry Clinic.
