Black and White (痞子英雄 - Pi Zi Ying Xiong) is a Taiwanese police procedural action drama that aired the summer of 2009. It won multiple awards at the 44th Golden Bell Awards including: Best Drama, Best Director, Best Actor (Mark Chao), Best Art Direction and Best Marketing.In the port city of Kaohsiung, the second largest city in Taiwan, there are two divisions of the police department.Wu "Hero" Ying Xiong is the top detective of the South Division of the police department (SDPD). Believing that law and justice are the pillars of society, he is a by-the-book investigator who zealously chases the bad guys.Chen Zai Tian (also called Pi Zi), is considered the top detective of the North Division of the department (NDPD), but appears to be completely incompetent. Newly assigned to SDPD, he drinks coffee, flirts with every pretty woman in sight, drives a yellow Porsche, gets mysterious tips from a fax machine in a restaurant, and generally is a much more laid back person. Or so it seems.Assigned together, the two must learn to overcome attitudes on both sides and act as a team to protect the citizens, investigating members of the local triad The San Lian Gang, other shadowy figures of the underworld, and even members of law.Completely unrelated to the video game Black & White. | |

Bittersweet Ending: Mr. Fan is arrested and the country is saved thanks to Pi Zi and Ying Xiong's efforts. However, several close allies of them are either dead or critically injured, and the San Lien triad had already cut off ties with Pi Zi, severely limiting his options. He-Hisao Mei is also still on the run and manages to kill off the remaining leads to Sarkozy's plan. It will take more efforts to track her down, but the protagonists are on their way to amend that. | |

The only one who isn't affected is Pi Zi, thanks to his prior experience with the drug via his water, and this allows him to stop him. | |

Clear My Name: Pi Zi is accused of being a drug addict for the new street drug Dreamer; however, since there is no official test for it (although the crime lab has a test they are refining and it showed a positive response), he is allowed to remain at his post. It is revealed that the mob boss ran Dreamer into Pi Zi's water supply to help alleviate the pain after his plastic surgery. Ying Xiong is framed for the murder of several key witnesses and the head of his police division. | |

Luke, I Am Your Father: It is discovered that one of the main police officers is the son of the leader of the San Lian triad. It's actually a little more complicated than that. The San Lian triad's leader thought that Pi Zi was the son of the woman he loved when he was young, so he "fixed him up" (see Dark and Troubled Past above). It turns out that Zai Tian was actually adopted by that woman, who died when Zai Tian was a boy, and that the biological son of that woman is Ying Xiong. | |

Or so they thought. Mr Li manages to defy this trope posthumously by leaving Pi Zi with his entire archive, providing Pi Zi with enough evidence to track down the true Big Bad. | |
