Scene 91 Time/Day Setting / Tamsui Fisherman’s Wharf
Characters / Qiu Haiyun, Lin Fengmian, Luo Gang, Zhao Jiamai (General Manager), models, assistants, Michael, Tang Huai-min, Wen Aihua, tourists

△ Lin Fengmian brings the modeling company to Tamsui Fisherman’s Wharf for an outdoor shoot. Assistants help the models with makeup. With the bridge and the wharf as the background, each model, dressed in fashion outfits, walks into the frame one by one.

△ Not far away, in the street performer area, Michael and the other two have also set up their sketch stall. Tang Huai-min’s singing arouses Qiu Haiyun’s (actually Chen Mengru’s) curiosity.

△ Taking advantage of a break in filming, Qiu Haiyun comes to sit in front of Michael’s sketch stall.

△ Qiu Haiyun stares at the Wild Wolf motorcycle behind Michael, and fragments of memory flash through her mind.
Qiu Haiyun: (OS) Why does this motorcycle give me a sense of familiarity? Could it be related to my past?

△ Qiu Haiyun hands Michael a business card. Michael glances at it.
Michael: You are a model?

Qiu Haiyun: Mm. Our company is here for an outdoor shoot today. Please draw a portrait for me.

△ As Michael listens to Qiu Haiyun’s voice, the familiarity shocks him.
Michael: (OS) This girl’s voice is almost exactly the same as Vivian’s, especially those eyes… how is this possible…

△ As Michael begins to draw her portrait, Qiu Haiyun notices the two portraits of Chen Mengru and the missing-person notice written by Michael.

Qiu Haiyun: May I ask, are you searching for the girl in these two portraits?

Michael: Yes. She is my fiancée. I met her when I came to Taiwan as an exchange student. We both studied fine arts, and we used to set up sketch stalls together on the street.

Qiu Haiyun: (OS) This foreigner’s voice and expression… I feel like I have seen him somewhere before… that sense of déjà vu…

△ At this moment, Lin Fengmian comes to find Qiu Haiyun and sees the two portraits of Chen Mengru and the missing-person notice.
Lin Fengmian: (OS) The foreigner interviewed by the reporter last time is this one. I cannot let Haiyun meet him again.

Lin Fengmian: Haiyun, why did you come here? Everyone is waiting for you.

Qiu Haiyun: Give me a little more time. The artist is almost done.

Lin Fengmian: It is not good to make everyone wait for you alone. Come with me.

△ Lin Fengmian coaxes and deceives her, trying to take Haiyun away. Wen Aihua notices this and puts down her brush to intervene.

Wen Aihua: It’s only a short while. Sir, could you respect this lady a bit?

Lin Fengmian: She is my model. I have to start work this afternoon.

△ Lin Fengmian pulls Qiu Haiyun up from the seat, grips her arm, and forcefully drags her away from the scene.

Qiu Haiyun: Don’t pull me like this…

Michael: Aihua, listen to that voice…

Wen Aihua: You mean that voice sounds like Chen Mengru?

△ Michael nods heavily.

Scene 92 Time/Evening Setting / Wu Benyun’s Tamsui Workshop, Michael’s Room
Characters / Wu Benyun, Michael, Tang Huai-min, Wen Aihua

△ In the evening, Michael and the other two return to their lodging at Wu Benyun’s workshop and discuss with him what they encountered with Qiu Haiyun that day.

Wen Aihua: Can there really be two people in this world whose voices are so similar? I have a strong intuition that the model named Qiu Haiyun maybe is Vivian.

Tang Huai-min: What you said makes sense. Even if Chen Mengru’s appearance has changed, it is unlikely that her voice would change as well. This clue should be pursued.

Michael: I feel that girl’s eyes are Vivian’s.

Wu Benyun: The voice and the eyes? If that model named Qiu Haiyun is Vivian, then why does she not recognize you?

Wen Aihua: Could it be that during the time Mengru went missing, she encountered a major accident, causing not only her appearance to change, but also her memory to be lost?

△ The four look at each other and fall silent for a moment.

Wu Benyun: Aihua’s analysis just now is not impossible.

△ These words greatly boost Michael’s confidence.

Michael: I have her business card. I will go online now to look up her information.

Wu Benyun: (laughs) Michael, you silly bird, I am truly moved by you.

△ Michael returns to his room, immediately goes online to find Qiu Haiyun, and discovers the modeling company where she works.

Michael: I found her.

△ Wu Benyun and the other two hear this and walk in to look at the information on the screen.

Wu Benyun: She is a model?

Michael: Yes, the profession matches what is on the business card.

Tang Huai-min: What do you plan to do next?

Michael: Tomorrow I will go to the entrance of that company and wait for Qiu Haiyun.

Wu Benyun: Do you want us to go with you, Michael?

Michael: Not for now.

Scene 93 Time/Evening Setting / Entrance of “Pretty Lady” Modeling Company, Street
Characters / Lin Fengmian, Michael, Qiu Haiyun, passersby

△ Michael rides his motorcycle to the modeling company and waits outside.

△ Qiu Haiyun and Lin Fengmian walk out together. Michael steps forward to try to recognize Qiu Haiyun.

Michael: Miss Qiu, I have something to talk to you. Can you give me a chance…

△ Lin Fengmian immediately steps in front of Qiu Haiyun, separating the two.

Lin Fengmian: (rudely poking Michael’s chest) Hey! Man, who are you? What do you want to do?

Michael: I… I just want to say something to her…

Lin Fengmian: (commanding tone) Get in the car first.

△ Qiu Haiyun gets into the car. Lin Fengmian follows, locks the door, starts the vehicle, and drives onto the street.

△ Michael watches Qiu Haiyun leave in the car, then immediately mounts his Wild Wolf motorcycle and follows through the streets.

△ Inside the car, Qiu Haiyun sees Michael following behind in the rearview mirror.

Qiu Haiyun: Fengmian, why didn’t you let me talk to that foreigner? Last time at Tamsui Fisherman’s Wharf, and now again at the company entrance.

Lin Fengmian: Can’t you tell that foreigner has ill intentions toward you?

Qiu Haiyun: I don’t feel that way.

Lin Fengmian: You don’t need to know such strange people.

Qiu Haiyun: Really? I feel that you are quite unfriendly toward him. Did you have some conflict with him?

Lin Fengmian: No conflict, but he affected my work mood.

Qiu Haiyun: Is that so? Is there something you don’t want me to know?

Lin Fengmian: (impatient) No, no! Don’t overthink, alright?

△ Lin Fengmian deliberately drives onto an elevated road, and Michael indeed stops following.

Scene 94 Time/Night (Rain) Setting / Qiu Haiyun’s Bedroom at Qiu Residence
Characters / Qiu Haiyun, Zhou Yumei

△ In the bedroom, Qiu Haiyun sits at the desk flipping through a photo album containing photos from her university days.

Qiu Haiyun: (to herself) The people and places in these photos… why do I have no feeling about them at all?

△ Qiu Haiyun stands up, walks to the window, and looks at the rain under the lights outside.

Qiu Haiyun: (to herself) That foreigner named Michael… those two portraits he displayed, and that Wild Wolf motorcycle… I really seem to have seen them somewhere before… why is this happening?

△ Qiu’s mother, Zhou Yumei, brings in a bowl of chicken soup.

Zhou Yumei: Mother specially stewed a pot of herbal free-range chicken for you to nourish your body. Come drink the soup.

Qiu Haiyun: (turning around, walking over) Am I really Qiu Haiyun?

Zhou Yumei: Silly child, of course you are mother’s precious treasure.

Qiu Haiyun: (pointing) The photos in that album—I have absolutely no memory of them.

Zhou Yumei: The doctor said your brain was injured, so you cannot recall the past for the time being. Don’t think about those things. Drink the soup while it’s hot.

Scene 95 Time/Evening Setting / Lin Fengmian’s Office at “Pretty Lady” Modeling Company
Characters / Lin Fengmian, Zhao Jiamai

△ Zhao Jiamai enters with a design draft and stands in front of Lin Fengmian’s desk. Fengmian quickly closes a notebook, and this action arouses Jiamai’s curiosity. At that moment, the internal phone rings. Lin Fengmian picks up the receiver.

Lin Fengmian: Alright, General Manager, I will come over now.

Zhao Jiamai: (OS) It’s just a notebook—why so secretive? Could there be something inside…

△ Lin Fengmian hangs up the phone and stands up.

Lin Fengmian: Jiamai, give me the design draft. The General Manager wants to discuss something with me.

△ Zhao Jiamai hands over the document. Fengmian puts the notebook into the drawer and leaves the office.

△ Zhao Jiamai walks behind the desk, opens the drawer, and takes out the notebook. An ID card falls to the floor. She picks it up and examines it.

Zhao Jiamai: (to herself) This girl… her facial features are indeed seventy to eighty percent similar to Qiu Haiyun.

△ Jiamai opens the notebook. A passage inside catches her attention.

This girl named Chen Mengru looks so much like Haiyun. This is not a coincidence, but heaven’s pity for me, allowing her to replace the missing Haiyun…

△ This passage immediately arouses Jiamai’s strong interest. She flips a few more pages and finds another entry.

The doctor’s plastic surgery is almost perfect. Qiu Haiyun has returned to my side. I swear I will never again let the woman I love leave me…

Zhao Jiamai: (to herself) So this Qiu Haiyun is a fake! If I expose Fengmian’s scheme and let Qiu Haiyun find her true self, she will leave Fengmian. Then I can effortlessly win Fengmian back…

△ A cunning smile appears on Zhao Jiamai’s face. She takes out her phone, photographs the ID card and several pages of the notebook, then places the ID card back into the notebook and returns it to the drawer.

Scene 96 Time / Night Setting / Inside a café
Characters / Qiu Haiyun, Zhao Jiamei

△ Qiu Haiyun walks into the café and immediately sees Zhao Jiamei waving at her. Haiyun walks over and sits down.
△ A waiter comes over to greet them.
Qiu Haiyun: (pointing at the menu) Give me a glass of juice.
Waiter: Alright, please wait a moment.
Qiu Haiyun: Director, what is so important that it has to be discussed outside?
Zhao Jiamei: I have something to show you—you should be interested.
△ Zhao Jiamei takes out her phone and shows an ID card.
Zhao Jiamei: Chen Mengru—does it give you a sense of déjà vu?
△ Qiu Haiyun leans her upper body forward, staring at the phone screen for quite a while.
Qiu Haiyun: (shakes head) Does this person have anything to do with me?
Zhao Jiamei: Chen Mengru is who you were before you lost your memory.
Qiu Haiyun: (confused) I am Chen Mengru?
Zhao Jiamei: Yes. Keep watching—I’ve arranged these records in chronological order.
△ Zhao Jiamei shows the notes one by one on the phone for Qiu Haiyun to read.
Zhao Jiamei: (puts down the phone) You are Chen Mengru. You were disfigured and lost your memory due to an accident. Then you met Lin Fengmian. Because your appearance closely resembled his missing girlfriend Qiu Haiyun, he asked the plastic surgeon to reconstruct your face according to Qiu Haiyun’s image, making you believe that you are Qiu Haiyun. All of this is a carefully planned scheme by Lin Fengmian. His purpose is to make you replace the missing Qiu Haiyun and possess you forever.
Qiu Haiyun: But if I am Chen Mengru, why can’t I remember anything?
Zhao Jiamei: Because your memory hasn’t recovered yet. All this time, you’ve only been a substitute for Qiu Haiyun—unless you don’t want to find your true self.
Qiu Haiyun: (shakes head) No. Since I am Chen Mengru, I have the right to know what my life used to be like and what I have experienced before.
Zhao Jiamei: Very good. Even if your memory cannot be recovered, it still cannot change the undeniable fact that you are Chen Mengru.
△ At this moment, a smug, cold smile flashes across Zhao Jiamei’s face—she is already certain of her victory.
