= Episode 3 =
Li Jia'er, what's wrong with you?
Why did you lie?
You're gonna get me in real trouble, you know that?
Let me go. -Silence!
Get over here!
What's your problem?
What's wrong with you?
Calm down.
I won't calm down.
She's a liar.
I can't let them know
how I fell down.
Come back!
Come back and explain.
Do you know you're gonna get me in real trouble?
Li Jia'er, you are such a hypocrite.
Defense counsel,
calm your client down.
Recess.
The debate today was so successful.
Far better than expected.
Me too.
As a lawyer of the Cheng Tian Law Firm,
you've done your best.
Don't blame yourself.
I...
I can provide a testimony.
I witnessed the entire incident.
Lin Xingran,
you are making the same stupid mistake again
for the sake of so-called justice.
I heard Li Jia'er say...
Li Jia'er was lying.
Meibin is innocent.
Even if she is, who cares?
I told you,
if she'd admitted to her mistake,
we could have settled this with compensation.
But now,
Li Jia'er has testified in court,
Zhao Meibin might end up in prison,
and we are losing the case.
So in order to win this,
you're going to make Meibin
admit to something she never did?
The truth is important,
but we don't have any evidence right now
to prove what you're calling 'the truth'.
So these are all fake.
And for me,
winning is what matters.
Mom.
What are you saying here?
What happened to your sense of justice?
Mom, you know nothing about
what happened today.
Do I need to know?
Do you know who I met today?
I met Gu Siyu.
The very same Gu Siyu who drove us away.
I lost to her today.
I'm ashamed of myself.
And I'm ashamed too.
Lin Xingran,
you're a lawyer,
I expected you to have some dignity.
I put your advertisement everywhere.
But I had no idea
you, you were so shameless.
You've really disappointed me.
When I'm back,
I'll take down all the ads.
I won't miss a single one.
Leave me alone.
I don't want to see you again.
Get out of our house.
Get the school transfer procedures over with.
I don't want to see you again.
She's the one who's lying,
why do I have to transfer?
Shut up.
Li Jia'er, what's wrong with you?
Why did you lie?
You're gonna get me in real trouble, you know that?
No matter how weak and incompetent I am,
I won't let you
wrong my daughter like this.
She thought you were the same as Meibin.
You shameless lawyer.
Do you remember us?
Who are you?
The reporters reported everything you said
outside the courthouse,
and now our Lulu is being ridiculed online.
Again?
I don't have the time to play with you.
I'm warning you,
you'd better not be threatening me,
I could sue you!
Hi, officer.
Stop! Ma'am, stop!
Stop!
Who are you calling ma'am?
How can you call me ma'am?
Can't you see how young and beautiful I am?
Is, is she mad?
Let's not waste time here.
Go.
I'm gonna teach you a lesson.
You stand over there.
You, come here.
Come on.
Quick, quick.
Run along. Come on.
Come back here you cowards!
Forget it.
And you.
What made you run over here
as soon as you saw those kids?
Are you stupid?
I didn't think, I just came.
It's lucky you're okay.
You're bleeding.
I'll get some rubbing alcohol here.
This might hurt. You'll have to grin and bear it.
Ouch, ouch.
I told you it would hurt.
Just try to put up with it.
What do I do now?
Does it hurt that much?
I'll try to be gentler.
It really does.
Stop trying to read people's minds.
Why can't I say it out loud if it hurts so much?
Why should I keep silent?
Well, I know you care about me,
so why don't you just say it?
You don't need to
hide your feelings at all.
Knowing that you care about me
makes me very happy.
Don't get me wrong.
It's just because I got you hurt,
I don't want to owe you anything.
Why are you determined
to act in ways that
create misunderstandings?
Can't you just treat people with sincerity?
Sincerity?
What is sincerity?
Sincerity is the most fragile
and vulnerable thing.
I used to have hopes,
and expectations.
And what?
I received only disappointment and sadness.
I told you,
human beings are selfish.
There are few people like you,
who carry on, even though they know
they'll be rejected and hurt.
But you can't ignore your feelings
just because you're afraid of being hurt.
You've gotta try to open your heart.
You know nothing about the world, kid.
I know you.
I understand your frailty,
and your strength.
You can't deny that
deep down you're still committed to justice.
You're braver than anyone, you know that?
Don't think flattering me
will make me lose my head.
I want to remind you,
I'm a cold-blooded, shameless lawyer.
Are you sure?
Will you give up on Meibin then?
Of course.
Of course I can't give up on her.
If I let her go like this,
she's doomed.
In this world,
secrets, subterfuge and lies
are what most people live on.
People are used to saying yes and meaning no.
I'm tired of their duplicity.
Because their inner voice has been buried,
their outward one is often awful and harsh.
But not you.
Even though you, too, say yes and mean no,
you're just trying to hide a tender heart.
Lin Xingran,
from now on, let me guard
that tender heart of yours.
I'll be there.
Didn't we just split up?
Was he just trying to be romantic?
So childish.
OK, just go home.
Beautiful and charming,
means trouble.
But what else could he do?
If I were a man,
I'd go for a girl like that, surely?
Forget it.
I have no such luck.
How am I gonna make a breakthrough?
Mr. Zhang.
Can I start from this angle?
I think you need to find
a new angle for the defense.
It'd be better to imagine things from the other side,
try to understand how they're feeling.
I get it. Thank you, Mr. Zhang.
You're welcome.
Mr. Zhang,
can...
can you help me out here too?
Ms. Lin doesn't need anybody's help.
Just come and help me.
If I can win the case,
I'm willing to try anything.
If you think the victim is lying,
why don't you go and see on her home turf?
You might find something that surprises you.
Have you heard about Zhao Meibin's case?
I heard that she got into
a dispute with Li Jia'er in court.
Is she crazy?
How could she go and create a scene like that?
Her defense lawyer must be the one who's mad.
Who would plead not guilty in a case like that?
It was cut and dry.
I guess the lawyer's insane.
Must be.
Do you think Zhao Meibin pushed her?
Perhaps Li Jia'er couldn't stand Zhao Meibin,
so she took revenge.
That's what I'm thinking.
Am I right?
Revenge? What revenge?
And for what?
Who are you? Why were you eavesdropping?
I'm a new exchange student.
I just arrived,
and I heard what you were saying,
it made me uneasy.
If you don't tell me what's going on,
I think I'm gonna cry.
OK, OK.
I'm just curious about all the gossip.
Who's not interested in these things?
Right?
All right, all right.
I'll give you my snacks in exchange for some gossip.
Well, you got the right person here.
What is it you want to know?
You're welcome.
This is imported. Try it.
It's tasty.
Alright.
Now you've eaten your fill,
give me the gossip.
Meibin tends to involve everyone in pushing Li Jia'er out.
And the nickname Miss Perfect
was also given by her.
She also posted lots of stuff
on the school message board to humiliate Li Jia'er.
Look, here it is.
Zhao Meibin sent these embarrassing pictures
of Li Jia'er to everyone.
And also,
Li Jia'er is always doing research
alone in the computer room.
So Zhao Meibin put these pictures
as the screensaver on the computer Li Jia'er uses.
And she couldn't get them off.
Zhao Meibin's really gone too far
by doing this.
Yeah, we think so.
But why did Zhao Meibin treat Li Jia'er like that?
Did Li Jia'er offend her in some way?
Maybe it's just jealousy.
Li Jia'er got early admission
for her outstanding performance.
And she's president of the Student Union.
She's smart and she's beautiful.
She's probably used
to being envied,
right?
So,
you shunned her?
If we didn't shun her,
we'd be shunned ourselves.
Who wants to be shunned?
We had no choice.
So because you
were scared of being shunned,
you went and shunned her.
You're the campus bullies.
Eat.
Aren't you ashamed?
What kind of people are you?!
Accomplices.
It's not like someone's been sitting here.
Maybe it's because
she's been bullied by Zhao Meibin,
that Li Jia'er tried to take revenge on her.
But how did Jiang Xia
hear what was said?
What is she trying to hide?
What are you doing here?
Searching for clues.
Haven't you given up on Meibin yet?
Yes, I have given up on her.
I did a survey and decided
I was right to give up on her.
I finally understand why so many people distrust her,
why everyone thinks she deserves it.
But I don't think that's the right way to go about it.
So what's your opinion, Ms. Lin?
I don't think, the law
is the only standard to judge right and wrong,
nor the only means of punishment.
Even if she made a mistake,
she is entitled to a defense.
And she shouldn't be deprived of the chance to start over.
Don't I look super cool?
This is all for Zhao Meibin
that I'm dressed like this .
Awkward.
I know you keep complaining about Zhao Meibin,
but I want to thank you on her behalf.
Thank you for trusting her
despite what people say.
Let's go.
Don't you think
I look lovely today?
Believe me,
that look doesn't suit you.
What should I do then?
Don't you know how infamous I am nowadays?
If someone recognizes me
as the shameless lawyer from the Internet,
I'll be driven out
by the guards at your school.
What are you doing?
Don't move,
or I'll call security to kick you out.
You...
Are you threatening me?
I'm doing you a favor.
If they think you're my girlfriend,
they won't kick you out.
You look much better now.
It looked awful.
Awful?
Screw you.
Trust me,
you look better this way.
Fine.
I'll get you back for this, just you wait.
Oh God, look at them.
Bit of an age gap, isn't it?
Interesting.
She's much older than him.
And she's dressed as a student.
Oh God, she stole my Mr. Right.
Let me go.
Can't you see people are staring?
Why are we pretending to be a couple?
I'm much older than you.
Let them stare.
Why can't an older woman date a younger man?
Right.
Look how charming I am.
Don't.
The search history from 3 days ago have disappeared.
It's recoverable.
Here, let me show you.
Did he do it on purpose?
Is he really
flirting with me?
Lin Xingran, calm down please.
How could you get so nervous over some kid?
Focus.
How can I focus at a time like this?
Find it.
Find what?
Her search history.
It's all about how to get rid of the smell of smoke.
I found a lighter at the spot
where Li Jia'er fell.
I can't let them know
how I fell down.
It seems that this is where Li Jia'er fell.
If Li Jia'er fell from here,
that is to say, Zhao Meibin was
in the music room downstairs at the time.
That's why she was mistaken for the culprit, right?
Withdraw the charges?
What for?
Because you lied last time.
No, I didn't.
You smoke right?
Familiar?
Let me recount
the events of that day.
That day, you were smoking alone
on the windowsill in the computer room.
Someone walked past the door,
you were afraid of being found out,
and you fell off
the windowsill by accident.
Am I right?
I understand you.
I know you're president of the Student Union,
a straight-A student.
In the eyes of all the teachers and parents,
you're the perfect kid.
You didn't want them to know you smoke,
it might hurt your image.
There's another thing.
You were afraid that those students
would take advantage,
and say something worse.
Right?
Even so, you shouldn't have accused Meibin,
should you?
Have you received your court summons?
Tomorrow afternoon,
you have to tell the truth.
Do you understand,
because of your lies,
the case has been changed from civil to criminal.
If the case is filed,
Zhao Meibin won't just be facing expulsion or a fine,
she'll be facing criminal charges.
Do you understand?
That's what she deserves.
I won't go.
Why did you slander me?
Why?
Ok.
Then you tell me,
why are you against me?
Have I hurt you somehow?
Why did you give me that horrible nickname?
What have I ever done to you?
Why did you make everyone shun me?
What did I do to deserve this?
Why did you humiliate me online?
I have serious depression now.
I, I...
That may be, but you can't lie like that.
She might end up in prison.
She put me in prison long ago.
And I have no idea why I'm there,
or when I'll be set free.
I've been imprisoned in an empty room
without any light,
or any warmth.
No one listens to me,
no one is willing to help me.
So now it's her turn to go to
a place without any friends,
a place where no one will help her.
I want her to feel what I've felt.
Li Jia'er.
Forget it.
Let's go.
No, we can't leave.
Only she can save you now.
I'll accept the results of the trial.
What are you talking about?
You've done nothing wrong,
why should you be punished?
If you want a trial, that's fine,
but it shouldn't be in court.
I'm sorry.
I didn't like you,
that's why I had everyone shun and bully you.
I'm so sorry.
And those things I posted online,
when I saw everyone liking and reposting them,
I got a hit,
I felt alive,
and so I went further and further.
But I didn't know,
I didn't realize that what I'd done
would end up causing so much harm.
I never thought I would hurt you so much.
I didn't realize the power of words,
not until recently.
I have only just discovered
how much pain these things can cause.
I guess this is my karma.
And so,
whether you can forgive me or not,
I apologize to you.
I'm sorry.
Her fate is in your hands now.
Are you going to pull the trigger
like Meibin did?
What now? What's on her mind?
She can't withdraw the accusation,
but in court,
she's bound to show up and testify again.
= The 1st People's Court of Wanjiang =
I've always wanted to ask you something.
What's that?
Why did you frame me 10 years ago?
What's the point of asking that now?
At first I thought you were just bad.
But there's always a reason for bad behavior.
Your case is no exception.
Why have you been cruel to me?
What's wrong with you, Ms. Lin?
You know you can't beat me in court,
so you're trying to score points here?
That won't work.
I wanted to tell you,
whether in the past or the present,
the truth is the truth.
It might have been covered up,
but it will never change.
Witness Li Jia'er,
please take your oath.
I do solemnly swear to the court
that I shall give the whole truth.
Otherwise,
I'm willing to accept legal punishment.
The defendant may now question the witness.
Please wait a moment.
As the prosecution counsel,
I need to remind my witness and my client
of some basic facts.
Allow me to do so before the questioning.
Agreed.
Miss, standing before the court,
you've taken an oath.
If your testimony today
is different from your previous testimony,
you risk a charge of perjury.
According to Article 243 of the Criminal Law,
the crime of perjury
can carry a prison sentence
of 3 to 10 years.
Your Honor, objection.
The plaintiff's lawyer is threatening the witness.
I just want my client to know,
she must take legal responsibility for herself.
Does the witness know the facts?
Yes.
What should I do now?
If I withdraw the confession, it's perjury.
Defense counsel,
you may start.
Defense counsel.
Your Honor, I'm ready.
As far as I understand it,
the witness won early admission
because of her excellent performance, is that right?
Yes.
What's your age, please?
17.
Citizens under the age of 18
have limited legal responsibility.
So even if you withdraw your confession,
you'll only be warned,
not legally punished.
Really?
Now you can answer my question truthfully.
I haven't seen you for years.
But you haven't changed at all.
What do you mean?
You knew Li Jia'er wanted to tell the truth,
so you forced her to keep quiet.
I was just reminding her.
It sounds like
you're never going to change.
Refusing to admit your mistakes,
deceiving yourself and others,
framing innocent people.
What made you think
you'd be a good lawyer?
A lawyer from some minor law firm
has no right to say such things to me.
Yes,
I'm just a lawyer from some minor law firm,
I have no right to judge you.
But you are Qing Yun's most promising lawyer
and you lost to me, the lawyer from an unknown firm.
Do you think it was a fluke,
or something else?
It was a mistake.
Qing Yun's best lawyer losing to Cheng Tian's worst.
What a fantastic story.
So what?
A fluke is a fluke.
It'll happen only once.
If it happens again,
I hope you'll admit your mistake,
and apologize to me and my mom.
Admit defeat and retreat.
You're doing it again.
Where are they?
Wasn't I brilliant today?
Now pick up the phone and congratulate me.
The subscriber you dialed cannot be connected.
Hello.
Mom, why didn't you answer earlier?
I was busy.
What's the matter? Speak up.
What are you busy with?
Taking down my ads?
Yes, how do you know that?
I had high hopes for you.
So I put up too many.
It's taking me ages to get them down.
Stop talking nonsense.
Am I really such a disgrace?
Aren't you ashamed yet?
Forget it. Why are you calling?
Speak up.
Mom,
I didn't give up on my client,
I've been defending her.
And I didn't give up on reconciliation.
Then what?
And then I was surprised,
why did you use my face to advertise fried chicken,
isn't that a little inappropriate?
That's not what I'm asking about,
I'm asking about the case.
That's it.
I cleared her name,
and proved her innocence.
Mom,
didn't I do well?
Good!
What do you mean?
Isn't that what a lawyer does?
My daughter is the best!
OK.
Got to go now.
We're going to celebrate.
Bye.
OK, bye.
You carry on taking the ads down.
I love you so much.
Why you are so brilliant?
Like mother like daughter.
Always saying yes and meaning no.
Mr. Zhang, I'd like to raise a glass to you.
To Mr. Zhang.
Thank you, thank you.
Mr. Zhang, congratulations!
Thank you.
Mr. Zhang,
well done. Congratulations!
Mr. Zhang, we'll be counting on you now.
I've admired you for so long.
Thank you. Thank you.
Mr. Zhang, you're a great role model.
I hope I can learn from you.
All the best!
Thank you.
Well done, Mr. Zhang.
To everyone.
A celebration dinner for me
is just another chance
to flatter the manager.
We won this case
thanks to my professional skills,
and the help of my lucky star.
It had nothing to do with
that two-faced Zhang.
More. More.
Pour everybody another.
Get the wine over.
One more.
OK.
I won the case,
but no one's toasted me.
Then I'll toast myself.
Lin Xingran,
you are the best.
Lin Xingran,
you are the best,
the most capable,
the most charming,
the sexiest
woman in the universe.
I'll take her back then.
-Okay. -See you tomorrow.
See you tomorrow.
Come on. -Get some rest.
Bye.
Go home.
Xingran.
Xingran, are you okay?
We're leaving now.
Wait.
I can walk
by myself.
Why are you called Zhang Xiaoyang?
It's such a warm-sounding name.
You're not warm at all.
You never smile.
What should I say
to a little kid?
Whatever you like.
How can you read people's minds
at such a young age?
Sorry I called you a little kid just now.
I won't say that again.
It's okay.
So,
being able to hear other people's thoughts
at such a young age,
is it hard for you?
Nope.
At first it was.
At first I heard people's complaints,
their jealousy,
anger,
arguments.
Over time,
I came to feel that
the world was a terrible place.
So I became a monster
who hated everyone.
You must've been lonely.
Not at all.
I had lots of scars,
but,
then I met her.
She healed my wounds.
She brought light into my heart.
After I'd met her
I started hearing beautiful voices.
I really appreciate her.
But...
I don't know if I'll see her again.
I forgot to tell you,
I have superpowers too.
I can see your future.
Wait a moment.
You'll see her.
Can I ask you a question?
Am I handsome?
Is he handsome?
She said you are handsome.
