01x15 - Apologies

[bunniefuu]

What is this?

It's one thing to be
fooling around outside.

Now you're bringing that
woman into our house?

What do you mean by this?

This is what your husband
can't stand about you.

You're so neurotic

and paranoid about everything.

Hsu Yuan, have you forgotten

how you flew to Hong Kong

and begged my parents
again and again

to marry me?

How could you do this to me now?

Look at you. Always
nagging at him.

He's sick of it. —That's
enough out of you!

I do love you

but so much has happened
since we got married.

Everything has changed!

No, you've changed, I haven't.

You've changed!

Get in there. Stay put!

Reflect on what
you've done. Hell!

Like father, like daughter!

Everything has changed!

Shut up!

You've changed, I haven't.

You can't force
someone to love you.

Shut up!

When I got the gig
to work for your dad

my boss told me

I'd be livin' the high life now.

My god!

What a friggin' load of crap.

The high life? Yeah, right!

Hell...

My god!

A-Dong, come here.

Get over here.

Help me get rid of the body.

No, I'm scared.

What?

Aren't you a c*ck son-of-a-g*n?

Now you're telling
me you're scared?

You want to get rich, don't you?

Help me get rid of the body.

Do this for me and I promise

you'll never have to
worry about money again.

I don't want to.

She was nice to me.

She was nice to me too.

But that's beside the point now.

You're in this as much as I am.

Go on!

Listen.

Help me carry her
into the study.

Do you hear me?

Come on!

Get moving. Hurry!

Come on!

Is it coming back to you now?

Uncle A-Dong...

You remember, don't you?

Come out!

Come here!

Here.

We did it right here.

Well?

Do you smell the blood?

Do you?

Your father and I

we cut up the body right here.

Do you remember?

You don't?

Get over there!

This is the spot.

This is where she died.

Your father grabbed her arms

and I grabbed her legs.

We carried the
body into the study

where we cut her up.

You were in the closet.

You saw everything.

You think I didn't know that?

You knew what the adults
were arguing about.

The hotel I just
picked you up from

was where I saw my mum

for the last time 23 years ago.

Before she left

she gave me this watch.

Does it look familiar to you?

It's your husband's watch.

She told me

she would be back

when the hour hand reached here.

But she never did come back.

She was later found

in this river.

Her body had been cut into two

and stuffed into one
of your suitcases.

No...

I didn't do it.

I didn't do it.

I didn't do it.

What did you and your
husband do to her?

I can't say.

I can't say.

My husband told me
not to say a world.

I can't say.

I can't... —She was my mother.

My only family!

I'm sorry...

I'm sorry.

I've become a vegetarian

and I pray to Buddha every day

to atone for my sins.

I've lost my family.

My husband is dead.

And I can't even
see my own daughter.

I have nothing left.

I have nothing left...

Why won't you leave me alone?

Why won't you leave me alone?

Why won't you leave me alone?

What the hell happened that day?

I didn't mean to do it.

I swear it was an accident.

It's been haunting
me every day since!

I'm sorry.

I don't know why it
ended up this way.

What's the use of
saying sorry now?

Will it bring my
mother back to life?

I'm sorry...

Get out of the car.

Get out!

Come out here! —I'm sorry!

I said, get out!

Come here. I want
you to see this.

Take a good look! I said, look!

My mother was thrown
down from here!

Take a long, hard look!

No...

This is what your husband
can't stand about you.

You're so neurotic

and paranoid about everything.

Hsu Yuan, have you forgotten

how you flew to Hong Kong

and begged my parents
again and again

to marry me?

How could you do this to me now?

Look at you. Always
nagging at him.

—He's sick of it. —That's
enough out of you!

I do love you

but so much has happened
since we got married.

Everything has changed!

No, you've changed, I haven't.

You've changed!

—Calm down and listen
to me. —What the heck?

Are you crazy? Why
did you hit him?

Let's go.

—Kai-li... —There's
nothing more to say.

Don't go...

Don't go.

—Don't go. —Kai-li...

You have something to say?

—Let me... —Leave
us. Wait outside.

I'll talk to her.

So?

What is it you want to say?

Would you stop crying
and spit it out already?

What is your problem?

I don't get you.

If I were you,
I'd take his money

and move back to Hong
Kong with my kid.

Wouldn't you be
happier that way?

Why stay here and suffer?

You can't force
someone to love you.

I'm a woman too.

I know what you're thinking.

But you're not doing
anyone any good by...

Shut up!

Shut up!

Shut up!

When your father
accused me of m*rder

why didn't you stand up for me?

Bloody hell!

He forced me to help him!

How did I end up
being the k*ller?

God dammit!

Friggin' hell.

I can't stay here anymore.

I'm sorry.

Are you done?

You must forget everything

that happened here today.

All of it.

I'm sorry.

Shut up!

Can I see Tze-wei

before you k*ll me?

Please... take me to her.

I won't k*ll you.

I love Tze-wei too
much to do that.

But if you want to
atone for your sins

there's one thing
I need you to do.

What is it?

When your husband
took the rap for you

he framed his driver
for the m*rder.

A-Dong.

His name is Hu Ta-dong now.

He has been harassing Tze-wei.

He even made me a
pawn in his plan.

He has Tze-wei now.

She's in grave danger.

W-What does he want?

He said he wouldn't
let Tze-wei go

unless he sees you in person.

Let's go and save her now.

OK.

Get in the car.

You want to arrest
me, don't you?

I know you want to arrest me.

Don't you want to arrest me?

Fine. I'll help you with that.

I'm sorry... —Relax,
don't be afraid.

I'm here to help.

I'll let you arrest me

so you can take the credit,

and get a promotion.

Wouldn't that be great?

See? I'm a man of my word.

Get up!

Hu Ta-dong. Hu Ta-dong!

I've brought her here.

Let Tze-wei go.

Don't worry. I
always keep my word.

Hey, little girl.

Your mummy's back.

You two must have a lot
of catching up to do.

Take your time.

Tze-wei, are you all right?

Are you hurt?

Yes, I'm your mum.

I'm here now. Mum's here.

Mum... get out of here.

You need to go.

Leave now... go!

Looks like you've been
living a good life.

What do you want from us?

What will it take for
you to leave us alone?

What's wrong?

Are you disappointed
to see that I'm alive?

We want to save you.

That's why she
agreed to come here.

Trust me...

How about this?

I'll give you a chance

to k*ll me.

Come on.

sh**t me.

Let's see if your daughter

will arrest you for it.

Come on. Take the g*n.

Come on!

Why are you shying away?

You've done this before.

Come on...

I didn't k*ll anyone.

I didn't k*ll anyone.

Hell.

Another one who conveniently
forgot everything.

It's fine.

Let me tell you a story.

Maybe it will jog your memory.

We'll give it a go.

One night, 23 years ago

a little girl...

No one needs to know this

hid in that closet

wanting to give her
dad a surprise. —Stop.

But for reasons unknown to her

the adults started
shouting at each other.

And then...

Hey, Councillor Yang?

Your mother died right here.

She was stabbed three times.

That's enough. —She
k*lled your mum.

That's not all. —It's OK...

The little girl's father...
your darling husband

made me carry the
body into the study

and cut it up. All for you!

Dammit, Hu Ta-dong,
that's enough!

The little girl was hiding

in that closet over there.

She saw everything!

The end.

Let's go...

Who said you can leave?

Did I say you can
leave? —Hu Ta-dong, no!

No one leaves until
I'm done here!

For the last 23 years

you've been in Hong Kong

free as a friggin' bird.

I'm sorry...

While you became a cop

sitting on your high horse,
acting all righteous.

And I wound up a
wanted criminal.

You're the good guys

while I'm the villain!

I became a m*rder*r!

Your mum's the m*rder*r!

Your dad's the m*rder*r!

Hell...

You built your lives

by destroying mine!

You ruined my life!

I want you to have a taste of

the life I've led for
the last 23 years!

I'll give you two choices.

No...

Either you k*ll me,

or I'll k*ll you. —No...

Come on. Make your choice.

sh**t me and end this
once and for all.

Come on!

You've done this before.

I won't fight back. sh**t me.

sh**t me.

sh**t me.

sh**t me.

sh**t me!

I can't do it. I'm sorry...

I can't do it.

I can't do it.

You see that?

She had the guts to k*ll
your mum but not me.

This is friggin' ridiculous!

You k*lled his mum.

Why is he still protecting you?

Shut up!

Shut up!

Shut up!

I k*lled her...

I k*lled her...

I k*lled her...

I k*lled her...

I k*lled her...

I k*lled her...

I k*lled her...

I k*lled her...

I k*lled her...

You didn't k*ll anyone.

You didn't.

Look at me.

This is all my fault.

I'd promised to
take care of you.

I'll fix this.

Just leave it to me.

You didn't k*ll anyone.

Go to our room.

Go to our room.

He heard the sirens
and took off.

I heard the car engine revving

but I didn't see anything.

He got away again.

Good thing we went
to the nursing home.

That's how we found this place.

How's my grandpa? —He's fine.

Don't tell him about this.

We won't.

I'm really tired.

I'd like to go
home for some rest.

Why don't you call it a night?

I'll go down to the
station tomorrow.

Sure. Rest well, Tze-wei.

I'll tell everyone
to wrap it up.

Thanks.

Tze-wei, you're hurt.

Shall we get you
to the hospital?

No.

Thank you for
coming to my rescue.

Go back now.

All right, get some rest.

You k*lled his mum.

Why is he still protecting you?

Tze-wei...

We should turn ourselves in.

Mum.

Mum.

Let's go and turn ourselves in.

We have to face up to it.

I can't take this
anymore. I really can't...

So, please...

Stop running away...

Listen to me.

Tze-wei, you didn't k*ll anyone.

I did.

I shot him.

Go now.

I'll take care of this.

Leave it to me.

How are you going to
take care of this?

How?

Like how you took
care of my mum?

Get out of here. Go
back to Hong Kong!

I don't ever want to
see you again! Get lost!

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry...

She's my mum.

She's my mum.

My dad is dead

and so is Hu Ta-dong.

My mum and I will
turn ourselves in,

and we will make it up to you.

No!

No.

I won't let you push me away.

It doesn't have to be like this.

Listen.

No one needs to
turn themselves in.

Nothing happened today.

I will let her go.

I promise not to touch
a hair on her head

as long as she never
comes back to Taiwan.

I promise.

I need you.

You've promised me

you'd stay by my side.

You're not going anywhere...

You don't have to
turn yourself in.

Nothing happened here.

Tze-wei...

You must forget everything

that happened here today.

All of it.

OK?

Tze-wei.

I'm sorry.

I've let you down, Tze-wei.

Just remember this.

Chih-hsiao loves me.

OK.

OK...

How did this happen...

You...

You must forget everything

that happened here today.

All of it.

OK?

Just remember this.

I love you and Mummy.

Yes, I stole it.

You're just a kid.

You won't have a
criminal record for this.

Mummy.

It's all right. I know that.

I'll protect you.

So please don't
leave me ever again.

I'm your hero, aren't I?

It's over.

It's over.

Will you accept my apology?

I wasn't mad at you for
letting the bird go.

I was mad because you
didn't think it through.

But...

Didn't I tell you

the bird was vulnerable
because it was injured?

It wouldn't be able to
get away from danger.

The bird wasn't fully recovered

but you released it anyway.

What if it runs into
danger out there?

Remember what I
taught you about life?

Every life is precious.

Come here.

You know that I love you, right?

Do you still love Mummy?

Of course I do.

Just not the way I used to.

Tze-wei.

Don't worry about your grandpa.

I've made all the
necessary arrangements.

He seems to like the
new nursing home.

Your new posting at Taoyuan

isn't too far from
your grandpa's.

We'll be able to
visit him often.

Thanks.

Should I pack these for you?

Leave it.

I'm throwing those away.

Tze-wei.

I love you.

Let's go.

Come on in.
