Dear Tenant (親愛的房客)

Mr. Lin.

Mr. Lin.

Please put your hands through here.

Sit there.

Are you Chien-yi Lin?

Yes.

Your date of birth?

17 March 1972.

ID number?

Mr. Lin.

You've agreed to be questioned on murder and drug charges.

You're not obligated to answer and may remain silent.

You may request investigation into evidence beneficial to you.

You also have the right to an attorney...

What are you doing here?

Have you greeted your uncle?

No.

Go greet your uncle.

I don't know him well.

Silly.

He'll give you a red envelope.

Don't you want one?

Yes.

Then go.

How old were you when I last saw you?

3 or 4?

Don't remember?

Nevermind.

Here.

Call me "Uncle"

and I'll give you a red envelope.

Uncle.

I've over here, not there.

Here you go.

Happy New Year.

May you grow up happily.

Happy New Year.

Gong Xi Fa Cai.

OK.

Go wash your hands.

You haven't been back for so long.

Go burn incense for your father and big brother.

OK.

What a big packet.

To our ancestors.

Today is the day before Chinese New Year's Eve.

As your unfilial daughter-in-law,

I kindly ask all of you

to return for the family reunion.

Li-wei,

you must come back too.

Mom,

the ocean view condominium seems nice.

Housing prices should have gone up recently.

I know what you're thinking.

Don't get any ideas about my house.

You must be back because you need money again.

What are you talking about?

Things are different now.

My business is doing very well.

You can live with me over there soon.

So you have no plans to move back then.

Fine.

I understand.

I have my own plans too.

What plans?

Let me help.

Stop playing and wash your hands.

After this stage.

Yo-yu.

C'mon. It's Chinese New Year.

I'm going to head up first.

Eat with us. -Enough.

Sit and eat.

OK. Let's start.

Thanks.

Happy New Year.

Happy New Year.

What do you say next?

Gong Xi Fa Cai.

And then?

Red envelope is mine!

I'll give you one later.

Are you full?

Use this one.

The doctor said

not to apply unprescribed ointments.

You don't want to do it?

If you are reluctant,

you don't have to serve me like this.

Do you think doing all this for me

would bring my son back from the dead?

That's impossible.

I know.

As long as you do.

I was afraid you'd forgotten.

She was still healthy at Chinese New Year!

Where's my mom?

Here.

Please verify that it's Mrs. Chou.

Yo-yu,

go get ready for bed.

What am I going to do about him?

If I take him with me,

I worry he wont' be used to it over there.

Li-gang,

I've already adopted Yo-yu.

Yo-yu.

Uncle has something important to ask you.

Did Grandma really die because she was sick?

What really happened?

Did Lin tell you not to say?

You can't trust that guy.

You can't trust him.

He's my dad.

Li-wei is your dad, not him.

He adopted me.

That's because...

He wants our house.

Grandma gave you the house.

Since he adopted you, he's...

He can take our house.

If someone...

tries to steal from us,

shouldn't we gang up against him?

I'm your real family.

I'll take you to the police.

Let's go tell the police.

No. -Let's go, I'll take you to the police.

Let's go. -I don't want to!

Yo-yu.

Did you see your uncle?

Hurry up.

Ready?

1, 2, 3.

OK, look.

We're up to this "Re" here, right?

Yo-yu,

do you want a cookie?

No, thanks.

Director, please sign here.

Mom! -Hsiao-chih.

Mr. Lin.

We just went on a trip to Japan.

This is for you.

Thank you.

Come, Hsiao-chih.

Say bye to Mr. Lin.

Bye!

Say bye to the Director.

Bye!

Bye -Bye, Mr. Lin.

It must be hard for you

to have to work at a time like this.

Let's share this with everyone.

Where's Yo-yu?

He's inside.

Hello?

Yes, that's me.

Li-gang?

Mr. Lin?

Hello?

Mr. Lin?

Yes.

Please head inside.

Turn right at the end.

OK.

Mr. Lin?

Yes, that's me.

Did you bring ID?

The prosecutor is still in the coroner's lab.

Please wait.

OK.

Mrs. Chou really doted on her grandson.

Yes.

Ever since his father passed,

he's been closest to his grandma.

When Mrs. Chou transferred the property to Yo-yu,

had you already discussed adoption?

Transferred...?

You didn't know?

What transfer?

You didn't know Mrs. Chou transferred her property

to Yo-yu?

It's the first I've heard of it.

So...

This is why I'm being...?

Mr. Lin, can you please explain in more detail

your relationship with this family?

I already told you.

I'm a tenant living in their rooftop add-on.

I know that.

But you also said

you take care of all their household needs.

You even pay for their daily living expenses.

Ordinary tenants wouldn't do that.

The kid's father and I were

together.

Excuse me, you said...

Li-wei and I were
