What do you mean "admit my guilt"?
You won't help me clear my name?
Mister,
you installed cameras in the bathroom
of a rented house,
in order to spy on others.
How am I supposed to clear that?
Were you just
making sure they didn't waste water?
This is all slander!
The tenant made the whole story up.
Now what?
You think I don't know the law?
I looked online,
I'm innocent until the court reaches a verdict.
There is a term called
presumption of innocence.
Presumption of innocence?
Yeah.
Do you think a scumbag like you
can lecture me about the law?
I'm telling you.
I hate having to presume you're innocent!
Because of this rule,
criminals like you are all over the place, hurting people.
You, are illiterate of the law,
and you're a pervert!
How, how could you say this?
You're my lawyer!
What's up?
You... I...
Miss Lin, the session is about to start.
Please bring your client in.
OK.
I'll give you one last chance.
So, do you plead guilty?
I...
Lin Xingran.
Another client pleaded guilty right before trial.
Did you do this again?
If you wanna say something, say it.
I just want to say,
he may be a bastard,
but he's still your client.
It's your job to defend him.
Look at you now,
you deliberately pick those clients
who are obviously guilty.
But you won't defend them.
Tell me, is this on purpose?
Are you lecturing me?
Are you aware
of what others are calling you?
A lawyer with no chance of winning a case.
Everyone hopes they end up going against you.
They know that it's an easy win.
Sometimes there isn't even a trial.
What's wrong with losing?
I've no problem with it.
I'm happy to lose.
Miss Lin,
can you please cheer up?
We're supposed to battle in court.
I'd rather you were the old aggressive
Lin Xingran who I saw as my rival.
I hate to see you looking like a beaten down dog.
Didn't you used to say you liked beating me?
Come on, beat me.
Am I beaten down?
Gu Siyu,
do I care
about winning or losing?
Alright,
I'll have her work on that.
I got it.
Sorry about that.
Mr. Jiang,
another complaint about Xingran?
You have to ask?
The fifth or sixth one this month.
She is famous now.
If this keeps up, she'll never get a case again.
Was this the one about the peeping landlord?
What peeping landlord?
Oh nothing, I must have been mistaken.
Come back.
No, Mr. Jiang.
Tell me what happened.
I...
Go ask her
about this peeping landlord.
OK.
Right.
Xingran.
Mr. Jiang wants me to ask
about the peeping landlord case.
The pervert was
recording his tenants in the shower.
He pleaded guilty before the trial.
-What's wrong? -Oh.
Xingran just told me that...
Ask her if she knows
what they're saying about her
and Cheng Tian.
Mr. Jiang wants me to ask
if you know what they're saying about you
and Cheng Tian.
I always lose.
I heard it.
Cheng Tian has an 'always winner' and an 'always loser'.
Pretty cool.
Xingran says Cheng Tian has both...
Go ask her about
her attitude.
Does she want this job?
With all her losses.
-My number is now the complaint hotline. -Oh.
Come back.
You tell her, if this keeps up,
she won't get a penny the next month.
OK.
Mr. Jiang says
if this goes on, your pay will be docked.
Alright, fine with me.
-I'll pay him if there's not enough. -Right.
-However much he needs. -OK.
Xingran says she can pay you if... Well...
You!
Hey, Mr. Jiang! Mr. Jiang!
Mr. Jiang! Mr. Jiang!
Listen, Mr. Jiang!
What's with you two?!
I need somewhere to calm down.
Dude. Why haven't we caught anything?
I've been here with you for 3 hours.
Aren't you tired?
The two at the firm are too noisy.
And this one is a mute.
I cannot understand you.
You're a lawyer who's been overseas.
But you sit here and fish.
It's been a year, aren't you bored with this?
You said you'd come visit us.
But you still never have.
Is everything okay?
Not even close.
Things were so good.
But then you left us,
now the three of us are busy as hell.
Mr. Jiang won't hire anyone new,
and he and Xingran just fight.
They don't even talk to each other.
I have to be their go-between.
It's seriously a nightmare to be around.
Hey, but,
don't you wanna ask
how Xingran's doing?
She's a strong woman.
I'm sure she's well.
Yeah, she is good.
We don't fear clients or the law.
But we fear what she might say.
That includes Mr. Jiang.
He'll just scold her a bit.
The old Xingran was a rose with thorns.
But now,
she's nothing but thorns.
She doesn't care about losing cases.
She'll accept any case.
Winning doesn't matter.
Whatever other firms say,
whatever other lawyers think,
she pretends she doesn't know.
I think,
she's either become a stone-hearted monster,
or...
Or what?
Or she's
too heart-broken to act.

Mom,
how was your day?
My day sucked.
I lost another case.
My client had to pay.
But I have no sympathy for him.
I wish the punishment were heavier.
I didn't want to defend him at all.
What should I do?
Should I change careers?
Mom, your favorite show is airing again.
I watched it.
It turns out it's boring.
I'm lucky that I was busy playing games
when you were watching it.
Mom, I've caught a cold,
and a fever.
You used to put a cold towel over my forehead,
and I'd feel better.
Why isn't it working now?
Mom, I tried making your braised pork.
It doesn't taste right.
Did I mess up the recipe somehow?

Bear with it.
Miss Lin.
Keep it up!
I will always be by your side.
Then where are you now?
Where'd you go?
You're not coming back, are you?
Liar!
Officer Zhen.
Please come in.
Miss Lin, it's been a long time.
There's been a murder.
We need your help to investigate it.
Please come with us.
A murder?
Right here.
Do you recognize this shirt ?
This...
This belongs to Jiang Xia.
How did you find it?
We found it in a warehouse.
The one where the murder happened.
There was a lot of blood.
We're assuming that the victim is dead.
We're trying to get to the bottom of this.
The blood test shows
that it's Li Junwei's blood.
The palm prints on the wall
are also Li Junwei's.
Li Junwei?
Li Junwei has died?
We still haven't recovered a body.
Wait a second.
Li Junwei is dead...
So why was Jiang Xia's shirt there?
And covered in blood?
This is why we asked you to come.
We found Jiang Xia's phone
at the scene of the crime.
The final message on his phone
is from Li Junwei.
It says
"Looking for me? Here I am."
Then it has the address
of the warehouse.
So, now, you suspect
Jiang Xia killed Li Junwei?
He had a motive,
and had the time.
If Jiang Xia calls you,
inform us immediately.
No way.
A phone and a piece of clothing?
That's all you need to know it was him?
I'm telling you.
Jiang Xia's not a murderer.
He wouldn't kill anyone.
He had a motive,
and had the time.
If Jiang Xia calls you,
inform us immediately.
There was a lot of blood.
We're assuming that the victim is dead.
The blood test shows
that it's Li Junwei's blood.
We found Jiang Xia's phone
at the scene of the crime.
This can't be.
Jiang Xia promised me.
He promised me!
He promised me.
Xingran, I promise you.
I won't become someone like Li Junwei.
I won't eat my words.
It wasn't a dream.
It was real.
He wouldn't break his promise.
He would never.
Hello.
Xingran, where are you now?
Can we meet up?
Li Junwei is a bad person.
He's a murderer.
When he was released, he continued his ways.
Even if Jiang Xia did kill him,
he did a good thing!
Have you learned anything?
Is that the way to uphold justice?
Murder is a crime, no matter what the motive is!
Do you get that?
Jiang Xia's not a killer.
He wouldn't kill Li Junwei.
Xingran, do you know something?
I don't have any proof now.
But I trust Jiang Xia.
The first thing we need to do is find him.
He'll tell us the truth.
But, where on earth is he?
Sir, hello.
Hello, hello.
We're policemen.
Wan Mingyi, hello.
It's Zhen.
Right, the license proves your identity.
Real police.
I want to ask you,
do you know a person named Jiang Xia?
Jiang Xia?
I don't know him.
Wait Sir,
please search your memory.
We got a report that
a man named Jiang Xia lives around here.
You don't know him?
Give me.
This is him.
Take a look.
= Arrest Warrant =
Xiao Feng.
You're looking for Xiao Feng?
Xiao Feng?
This way, come here, come here.
Xiao Feng.
This boy!
Xiao Feng.
Stop working for a moment.
Listen,
these two policemen are looking for you.
What's up, grandpa?
Jiang Xia.
Do you remember me?
This man,
you remember him?
I'm gonna kill him.
Hello?
You've found Jiang Xia.
Officer Zhen,
where is Jiang Xia?
Please take me to meet him. -Miss. Lin.
Please just relax.
I need to speak with you first.
Go ahead.
We found him in a place called Liu Jia Village.
We interrogated him all day.
He claimed he couldn't remember anything.
We called you here hoping you can
help us speak with him.
I got it. I got it.
Take me to see him.
Ok, let's go.
You two, out for a moment.
Jiang Xia, what's wrong with you?
Why didn't you tell me you were leaving?
You never even called me.
You've been gone a year.
Do you know how worried I've been?
How about your wounds?
They showed me picture of blood everywhere.
Are you still injured now?
Show me.
Officer Zhen,
it's just an interrogation.
Why did you cuff him?
His wrists are bruising. You...
Are you talking to me?
They all call me Jiang Xia.
But I don't remember.
Everything's so confusing.
Have...
we met before?
Jiang Xia,
you're just pretending, right?
Have you really forgotten?
Look at me.
It's me!
No.
Officer Zhen, can we speak outside?
Officer Zhen, he's leaving with me.
No way.
Why not?
How long will you keep him
because of a shirt and a phone?
Miss Lin, we're acting according to procedure.
You know Jiang Xia.
He is a straight-A student with a good heart.
He's not a murderer. It's impossible.
We also found a strange fingerprint at the scene.
And we compared it with Jiang Xia's.
We're certain
he was at the warehouse.
Plus, the shirt,
and phone message.
Jiang Xia is the prime suspect.
Plus, earlier he was murmuring about killing Li Junwei.
We're applying to officially arrest him.
OK,
then I'll be his lawyer.
I will prove you that he's innocent.
Mr. Jiang, I heard our firm is going to recruit.
I asked them to put up an ad on our website.
Aren't we saving the spot for Zhang Xiaoyang?
What if he comes back?
Zhang Xiaoyang will still have a spot here.
I'm replacing Lin Xingran.
Huh?
What good is she here?
She loses every case.
We don't need that.
It's my decision.
Be sure to tell her.
Why is it always me?
Hey. Xingran, Mr. Jiang is looking for you.
Mr. Jiang, I'm taking a case.
Stop there.
You want to talk to me now?
I'm taking a case.
What kind of case?
Li Junwei's murder.
Li Junwei's murder?
The suspect is
Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xia?
Yes.
The police found him already.
And they're applying for the arrest.
If I take this case,
I will send an application
to get the tough measures changed,
and oppose the arrest.
This may help to control the situation.
The chances for winning are low.
The arrest already puts him halfway in prison.
I know, Mr. Jiang.
So, I need your help this time.
Nothing is more important to me now.
I know I did bad before.
You can punish me as you like
for all the cases I've lost.
But this time,
I am begging you, Mr. Jiang.
OK.
Thank you, Mr. Jiang.
Arms out.
Take off your clothes and shower.
Five minutes.
Jiang Xia,
what's wrong with you?
Why didn't you tell me you were leaving?
You never even called me.
You've been gone a year.
Do you know how worried I've been?
How about your wounds?
They showed me picture of blood everywhere.
Are you still injured now?
Show me.
Who is she?
Who on earth is she?
She's so concerned.
= Wanjiang Fourth Detention Center =
Jiang Xia.
This is an act, right?
You don't even remember me?
The Aquarium.
Can't you hear what I'm thinking?
What are you thinking?
He really doesn't remember.
He's lost his ability?
It's alright that you can't.
You used to think the world was too noisy.
Used to?
Hello. I'm Lin Xingran.
From today on, I'll be your lawyer.
I need to ask several questions.
You have to answer honestly.
You've lost your memory.
How far back do you remember?
Spring of last year. It was May.
I forgot which day exactly.
What were you doing then?
I...
I was in a vehicle.
A van.
A van?
What were you doing in a van?
I don't remember.
I woke up and
I was surrounded by boxes.
When I got up, the van stopped.
My head hurt. Everything hurt.
Then I remember, I was at grandpa's house.
Apart from that,
do you remember anything else?
No.
When you say "grandpa",
you mean Chen Deshan, right?
Yes.
I don't even remember my name.
Grandpa calls me Xiao Feng,
because his grandson is named that.
He left to work in the city.
Did Grandpa ever tell you
who brought you there?
No.
He was working on the farm
and found me lying on the ground.
So, you've been living with Grandpa?
I didn't know where I was,
nor where to go.
Or if I had any relatives,
or friends.
So, I stayed there.
Miss Lin,
you know who I am, don't you?
Where are my parents?
Why...
haven't they come to see me here?
You're Jiang Xia,
an excellent law school student.
You're intelligent,
outstanding.
And a good person.
Your parents...
have both passed away.
Really?
Both of them?
I am sorry to tell you this.
How did they die?
Your mother
died of an illness when you were little.
You father died in a car accident.
The perpetrator
is Li Junwei.
Li Junwei?
Is he the man
the police say I killed?
Jiang Xia,
don't talk to anyone about this!
Especially the police.
It does us no good.
From now on,
whatever comes into your mind,
whatever questions you have,
you can ask me.
And nobody else.
Do you trust me?
I do.
Xingran,
Xingran.
Join us for lunch?
Just bring me back some bread.
Listen, you need more than bread.
We'll bring a meal.
Bread is faster.
Just bread.
This isn't good.
Too much stress.
She won't even drink water.
It's been a whole day.
We need someone to talk to her.
Hello.
Hey, hi.
You said you think,
Jiang Xia was in a car wreck.
We looked into it.
What did you find?
Last year, around May 17th,
looking at the area around that warehouse,
there's nothing on record.
Nothing?
Can you expand the area?
And include the road to Liu Jia Village?
Still nothing.
That road has few cameras.
Even if there had been a wreck,
we wouldn't have a record,
unless someone reported it.
Thanks anyway.
No problem.
Mr. Zhang,
are you hearing anything I'm saying?
You must help Xingran this time!
Stop calling me Mr. Zhang.
Simon, it's not like I don't want to help.
She'd never accept my help.
Hey, Simon, don't break the rules.
Xingran has become obsessed now.
She spends all her time reading over the law.
She reads piles of relevant cases,
one by one,
in case she misses anything.
And the more she wants to win,
the worse she gets.
I worked at the firm for so long.
I've seen so many cases.
I'm really worried about her.
Lawyers with more experience than her
lose cases like this.
Don't waste your breath.
I can't go back and face her.
What?
You'd rather fish here all day
than go back and help her?
Her client is Jiang Xia this time.
Xiaoyang,
it's been a year, and you're still so handsome.
Pathetic.
Everybody else is pairing up.
But not you. You lonely, pathetic man.
I don't have time for you, you ugly little lion.
A year now and still no response.
What a pathetic man you are.
I don't usually watch this sort of show.
But I want to ask you now,
if the second main male
doesn't get the lead female,
or any other female,
would you stop watching?
Indeed.
As a mature man,
I deal with relationships rationally,
and I wish the two of them happiness.
Is that so wrong?
