MARCH 2020

00:01:30,708 --> 00:01:32,416
[Luo] How much longer do you need?
6
00:01:32,500 --> 00:01:34,500
It's already 7:30. We'll be late.
7
00:01:35,625 --> 00:01:37,125
Did you hear me?
8
00:01:37,208 --> 00:01:38,333
[door opens]

00:01:43,250 --> 00:01:44,250
[closes door loudly]
10
00:01:48,875 --> 00:01:51,916
Can't you prepare your school things
the night before?
11
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,541
I have to ask you daily to do it.
12
00:01:53,625 --> 00:01:56,541
It's the same thing
every morning since the tenth grade.
13
00:01:56,625 --> 00:01:58,666
Is it so hard to get ready earlier?
14
00:01:59,791 --> 00:02:01,541
No one asked you to give me a ride.
15
00:02:01,625 --> 00:02:02,875
I can go by myself.
16
00:02:03,375 --> 00:02:04,541
You'll go by yourself?
17
00:02:05,083 --> 00:02:07,666
You think I'll feel better
if you're late every day?
18
00:02:09,166 --> 00:02:10,791
Stop. It's so early in the morning.
19
00:02:10,875 --> 00:02:13,208
I have an English quiz
in the first period.
20
00:02:17,625 --> 00:02:20,000
[woman 1] Look at the camera.
Lift your bangs up.
21
00:02:20,666 --> 00:02:22,833
[woman 2] There is sanitizer
on both sides.
22
00:02:24,500 --> 00:02:28,166
[woman 1] If you wear bangs, lift them up
and look straight at the camera.
23
00:02:33,625 --> 00:02:34,833
[card reader beeps]
24
00:02:35,666 --> 00:02:37,666
[woman] Are you done with your report?
25
00:02:51,666 --> 00:02:53,166
[computer chimes]
26
00:02:57,958 --> 00:03:01,458
SUBJECT: SALARY ADJUSTMENT
27
00:03:08,625 --> 00:03:10,250
Why send this kind of email?
28
00:03:10,791 --> 00:03:11,750
I don't understand.
29
00:03:11,833 --> 00:03:14,666
Why should we decide
about our pay cut by 10% or 20%?
30
00:03:14,750 --> 00:03:17,125
-If we deduct too little, the company--
-[Chen] Pin-Wen.
31
00:03:18,375 --> 00:03:19,375
What's the matter?
32
00:03:20,791 --> 00:03:22,083
It's just past 8:00.
33
00:03:24,375 --> 00:03:26,625
I received the same message this morning.
34
00:03:27,791 --> 00:03:30,666
Just like you, I'm also getting a pay cut.
35
00:03:31,708 --> 00:03:34,916
[female teacher] Caesar was born
to a declining noble family.
36
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,916
In history he's known
as the founder of the Roman Empire.
37
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,833
In 48 BC, he defeated Pompey
and returned to Rome.
38
00:03:41,916 --> 00:03:44,791
However, his best friend,
the infamous Brutus,
39
00:03:44,875 --> 00:03:46,416
plotted to assassinate him.
40
00:03:47,916 --> 00:03:51,000
In the end, do you know
how many times he was stabbed?
41
00:03:51,083 --> 00:03:52,166
[students] No.
42
00:03:52,916 --> 00:03:55,125
-[teacher] Oh, hello, Dean.
-[dean] Teacher.
43
00:03:55,916 --> 00:03:57,916
I want to speak with the students.
44
00:04:00,041 --> 00:04:02,000
[Chen] Compared to last year,
the company's growth
45
00:04:02,083 --> 00:04:03,625
was below expectations.
46
00:04:04,916 --> 00:04:08,500
That's why we hope everyone present
can lead by example,
47
00:04:09,291 --> 00:04:12,208
first, to share this difficult time,
through a pay cut.
48
00:04:12,291 --> 00:04:13,125
DAUGHTER
49
00:04:13,208 --> 00:04:16,541
-[phone vibrating]
-The company has no fixed pay cut target.
50
00:04:18,625 --> 00:04:21,833
You'll decide the percentage
of your pay cut.
51
00:04:22,750 --> 00:04:24,125
I believe…
52
00:04:25,208 --> 00:04:27,333
I believe that
after this salary adjustment,
53
00:04:27,416 --> 00:04:29,958
-we can all work together…
-[phone continues vibrating]
54
00:04:30,041 --> 00:04:31,541
Pin-Wen, answer your phone.
55
00:04:35,708 --> 00:04:37,750
I'm in a meeting. I'll call you later.
56
00:04:37,833 --> 00:04:40,291
[Jing] Someone tested positive
in our class.
57
00:04:40,375 --> 00:04:43,166
-What?
-Can you pick me up at the hospital?
58
00:04:43,833 --> 00:04:45,250
[Chen] Did something happen?
59
00:04:46,583 --> 00:04:50,041
[Luo] My daughter's classmate
tested positive. I have to pick her up.
60
00:04:53,750 --> 00:04:55,291
Wang Shu-Ying.
61
00:04:56,750 --> 00:04:58,166
Wang Shu-Ying.
62
00:05:03,083 --> 00:05:05,458
Hey, Xiao Jing.
You're home so early. [chuckles]

00:05:06,208 --> 00:05:07,458
[sighs]
64
00:05:07,541 --> 00:05:10,833
Uh, Mrs. Zhang, are you going out to shop?
65
00:05:10,916 --> 00:05:11,916
Well, Miss, Miss…
66
00:05:12,416 --> 00:05:13,250
Miss Luo.

00:05:18,166 --> 00:05:19,000
[Luo] Hello.
69
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,708
[Chen] How's your daughter doing?
70
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,250
[Luo] She should be fine.
71
00:05:28,375 --> 00:05:29,833
Hello? Hello?
72
00:05:31,250 --> 00:05:32,833
Director Chen, can you hear me?
73
00:05:34,791 --> 00:05:36,250
Stay at home for a while.
74
00:05:37,875 --> 00:05:40,625
I don't understand.
Wh-- What do you mean by that?
75
00:05:42,833 --> 00:05:44,708
Your daughter needs to be
quarantined at home.
76
00:05:44,791 --> 00:05:45,916
Spend time with her.
77
00:05:46,958 --> 00:05:48,083
[Luo] Xiao Jing.
78
00:05:49,208 --> 00:05:51,125
Xiao Jing, come out.
I want to talk to you.
79
00:05:51,208 --> 00:05:54,333
-[Jing] What is it?
-Just come out here. We need to talk.
80
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,708
[Jing] Just tell me what you want.
81
00:05:57,375 --> 00:06:01,375
-[Luo] I don't need to go back to work.
-But you don't need to stay home with me.
82
00:06:02,500 --> 00:06:04,041
[Luo] The company told me.
83
00:06:05,250 --> 00:06:07,833
[Jing] But you don't need to quarantine
if you're fine.
84
00:06:07,916 --> 00:06:11,208
[Luo] I already told them
my daughter's classmate tested positive.
85
00:06:14,291 --> 00:06:15,791
Why did you tell them?
86
00:06:16,500 --> 00:06:20,166
I took the rest of the day off,
so I had to give my boss a reason.
87
00:06:20,916 --> 00:06:21,958
[sighs]
88
00:06:23,875 --> 00:06:25,916
You better keep your distance from me.
89
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,208
That classmate sits behind me.
90
00:06:29,750 --> 00:06:31,750
[gentle music plays]
91
00:06:46,125 --> 00:06:47,000
[knock at door]
92
00:06:47,666 --> 00:06:49,416
[Luo] Xiao Jing, come out and eat.
93
00:06:50,333 --> 00:06:51,625
[Jing] You go ahead.
94
00:06:52,458 --> 00:06:53,416
Come out and eat.
95
00:06:53,500 --> 00:06:55,666
The food's ready.
Don't let it get too cold.
96
00:07:06,583 --> 00:07:07,958
Can I eat in my room?
97
00:07:09,500 --> 00:07:10,875
Why can't you eat here?
98
00:07:12,208 --> 00:07:15,625
[Jing] The rule when in quarantine
is not to eat with family members.
99
00:07:16,750 --> 00:07:18,375
There's just the two of us here.
100
00:07:18,458 --> 00:07:20,250
We can sit farther apart.
101
00:07:20,750 --> 00:07:22,666
What if I test positive later on
102
00:07:23,416 --> 00:07:24,916
and get you infected?
103
00:07:30,333 --> 00:07:32,333
[gentle music continues]
104
00:07:59,333 --> 00:08:01,166
[doorbell chiming]
105
00:08:05,041 --> 00:08:06,875
-[man] Hello, are you Miss Luo?
-Yes.
106
00:08:06,958 --> 00:08:07,791
This is your food.
107
00:08:07,875 --> 00:08:09,000
-Thank you.
-Thank you.
108
00:08:10,916 --> 00:08:12,666
[Luo] Xiao Jing, come out and eat.
109
00:08:15,541 --> 00:08:17,375
Did you hear me? Come out and eat.
110
00:08:29,833 --> 00:08:30,833
[taps phone]
111
00:08:36,708 --> 00:08:37,541
[Jing] Hello?
112
00:08:38,583 --> 00:08:41,541
Xiao Jing, didn't you hear me
knocking on the door just now?
113
00:08:42,833 --> 00:08:44,083
I was reading.
114
00:08:44,666 --> 00:08:46,791
Reading doesn't affect your ears.
115
00:08:47,916 --> 00:08:49,375
I was wearing earbuds!
116
00:08:49,916 --> 00:08:53,333
Next time, you can just send me a message.
You don't need to knock.
117
00:08:53,916 --> 00:08:56,083
I guess I gotta pamper you
since I can't work.
118
00:08:56,166 --> 00:08:58,125
Do you think you're staying in a hotel?
119
00:09:00,250 --> 00:09:02,958
You told your boss
about what happened to me for no reason.
120
00:09:03,041 --> 00:09:04,291
How can you blame me?
121
00:09:07,500 --> 00:09:10,166
Can you come out and eat now?
The food's getting cold.
122
00:09:11,250 --> 00:09:12,958
I'm not hungry yet.
123
00:09:15,458 --> 00:09:18,041
[loud clunking]
124
00:09:26,750 --> 00:09:28,625
[clunking softens]
125
00:09:29,708 --> 00:09:30,833
[snaps]
126
00:09:49,791 --> 00:09:50,833
[Luo] Xiao Jing.
127
00:09:55,125 --> 00:09:56,791
Why are you sitting here?
128
00:10:05,416 --> 00:10:06,375
Are you okay?
129
00:10:08,583 --> 00:10:09,875
I think I'm sick.
130
00:10:13,375 --> 00:10:15,416
Do you want me to bring you to a doctor?
131
00:10:25,583 --> 00:10:27,916
That kind of thing
would happen so quickly.
132
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:32,333
Uh, in fact, the disease is spreading
at a rate that is difficult to believe.
133
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:34,958
Now, in Europe, we originally believed
134
00:10:35,041 --> 00:10:37,666
that their basic public health
and medical systems
135
00:10:37,750 --> 00:10:39,208
wouldn't collapse so quickly.
136
00:10:39,291 --> 00:10:41,375
-But evidently it has.
-[doorbell chiming]
137
00:10:56,708 --> 00:10:57,666
Where's Xiao Jing?
138
00:10:58,916 --> 00:11:00,000
She's in her room.
139
00:11:06,583 --> 00:11:08,750
How long has this blue tarp
been hanging there?
140
00:11:09,250 --> 00:11:10,333
It's been almost two months.
141
00:11:11,166 --> 00:11:13,583
I can't take
being stuck here all day anymore.
142
00:11:27,041 --> 00:11:28,791
I really shouldn't have called you.
143
00:11:29,333 --> 00:11:32,666
But aside from you,
I don't know who to call.
144
00:11:36,041 --> 00:11:37,125
What happened?
145
00:11:41,083 --> 00:11:43,208
We've been in quarantine for over a week.
146
00:11:43,291 --> 00:11:45,041
She just stays in her room all day.
147
00:11:45,791 --> 00:11:49,083
The other day in the living room,
she suddenly said that she's sick.
148
00:11:49,666 --> 00:11:52,250
I asked her what's wrong,
but she wouldn't tell me.
149
00:11:54,041 --> 00:11:56,250
Even the look in her eyes is different.
150
00:11:56,958 --> 00:11:58,083
[man sighs]
151
00:11:58,708 --> 00:12:00,750
Aren't all kids her age the same way?
152
00:12:01,500 --> 00:12:04,958
But the problem is
she's not acting like the kids her age.
153
00:12:10,916 --> 00:12:12,958
She placed this note by her door
154
00:12:13,041 --> 00:12:14,916
not long before you arrived.
155
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:16,625
KEEP YOUR DISTANCE
156
00:12:16,708 --> 00:12:18,291
[man] You want me to talk to her?
157
00:12:19,458 --> 00:12:20,416
[Luo] I don't know.
158
00:12:22,583 --> 00:12:24,583
When I made curry rice for her that day,
159
00:12:25,208 --> 00:12:26,708
after she finished the food,
160
00:12:26,791 --> 00:12:29,208
she used the spoon
to write "bitch" on the plate.
161
00:12:29,291 --> 00:12:31,291
[sobbing]
162
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,000
[man] There, there.
163
00:12:36,666 --> 00:12:37,666
It's all right.
164
00:12:37,750 --> 00:12:39,416
[Luo sniffles]
165
00:12:39,500 --> 00:12:41,500
[Luo continues sobbing]
166
00:12:43,500 --> 00:12:44,375
Don't worry.
167
00:12:53,958 --> 00:12:56,750
[Luo breathes deeply]
168
00:13:18,500 --> 00:13:20,416
Are you afraid that I'll get you sick?
169
00:13:21,166 --> 00:13:22,958
Oh, right, you already got married.
170
00:13:28,416 --> 00:13:29,416
[breath shudders]
171
00:13:30,791 --> 00:13:32,083
I don't know why.
172
00:13:36,125 --> 00:13:37,833
After being apart for so long…
173
00:13:39,125 --> 00:13:40,250
[inhales shakily]
174
00:13:40,916 --> 00:13:43,583
…I still can't help
but have feelings for you.
175
00:13:45,875 --> 00:13:47,208
Xiao Jing will be fine.
176
00:13:47,291 --> 00:13:48,666
[Luo sniffles]
177
00:13:48,750 --> 00:13:51,041
I'll talk to her later.
Don't worry about it.

[melancholy music playing]
183
00:14:48,125 --> 00:14:49,041
Xiao Jing!
184
00:14:53,541 --> 00:14:54,708
Xiao Jing!
185
00:14:57,833 --> 00:14:58,916
Xiao Jing!
186
00:15:02,208 --> 00:15:03,083
Xiao Jing!
187
00:15:05,833 --> 00:15:07,250
Xiao Jing!
188
00:15:25,500 --> 00:15:27,500

[phone ringing]
191
00:15:53,916 --> 00:15:54,750
Hello.
192
00:15:54,833 --> 00:15:56,916
[man] Is this
Miss Luo Pin-Wen's residence?
193
00:15:57,541 --> 00:15:58,375
Yes.
194
00:15:58,458 --> 00:16:00,333
I'm an officer from Sanmin Police Station.
195
00:16:00,416 --> 00:16:03,000
Miss Luo is in Cheng Hsin
General Hospital's emergency room.
196
00:16:03,083 --> 00:16:04,083
Please head over.
197
00:16:24,750 --> 00:16:26,750
Excuse me, miss. Your insurance card.
198
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:28,958
I'm sorry.
199
00:16:29,041 --> 00:16:32,541
The police called me saying that
my mom was brought to the emergency room.
200
00:16:32,625 --> 00:16:34,333
So I came here as fast as I could.
201
00:16:34,416 --> 00:16:35,875
I'm sorry, but we're in a pandemic.
202
00:16:35,958 --> 00:16:38,791
I can't let you in
if you don't provide your insurance card.
203
00:16:43,291 --> 00:16:44,625
What should I do, then?
204
00:16:44,708 --> 00:16:47,208
Go home and get the insurance card,
then come back.
205
00:16:56,625 --> 00:16:57,583
[line ringing]
206
00:17:06,208 --> 00:17:08,916
EMERGENCY
207
00:17:16,541 --> 00:17:19,583
You can't come to the hospital
during your quarantine period.
208
00:17:21,416 --> 00:17:23,083
I know I'm under quarantine,
209
00:17:23,166 --> 00:17:25,250
but I didn't even take a cab to get here.
210
00:17:25,333 --> 00:17:28,000
I can't just stay home
and leave Mom here in the hospital alone.
211
00:17:28,083 --> 00:17:30,041
What if something bad happened to her?
212
00:17:36,500 --> 00:17:37,875
Did you get to see her?
213
00:17:38,916 --> 00:17:40,000
Yes.
214
00:17:40,583 --> 00:17:41,750
So how is she?
215
00:17:46,375 --> 00:17:49,416
I know you've had a rough night.
Have dinner at my place.
216
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:51,708
Let's just talk along the way.
217
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:56,750
I'm still under quarantine.
218
00:17:58,166 --> 00:18:00,166
And won't Auntie feel weird about this?
219
00:18:01,416 --> 00:18:04,916
I told her about this before I came here.
She should be prepared.
220
00:18:05,500 --> 00:18:08,458
By the way, when will your quarantine end?
221
00:18:09,708 --> 00:18:11,291
[Jing] Tomorrow's the last day.
222
00:18:13,416 --> 00:18:15,333
Why was she brought to the hospital?
223
00:18:18,500 --> 00:18:21,458
[man] They found her standing
by the bridge, and quite emotional.
224
00:18:22,208 --> 00:18:25,666
Later on, someone called the police,
and they brought her to the hospital.
225
00:18:25,750 --> 00:18:26,958
[Jing] How is she now?
226
00:18:28,083 --> 00:18:29,291
She's sleeping.
227
00:18:33,875 --> 00:18:35,750
I went to your house a few days ago.
228
00:18:37,208 --> 00:18:38,458
[Jing] For what reason?
229
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:41,583
Your mom asked me to come.
230
00:18:42,625 --> 00:18:45,166
She said that
you shut yourself in your room
231
00:18:45,250 --> 00:18:46,791
and don't talk to her at all.
232
00:18:47,666 --> 00:18:49,875
That's because
my classmate tested positive.
233
00:18:49,958 --> 00:18:51,541
And she was sitting right behind me.
234
00:18:54,208 --> 00:18:58,791
Did you place a note on your door saying,
"Keep your distance" for your mom?
235
00:18:58,875 --> 00:19:00,125
So what if I did?
236
00:19:01,541 --> 00:19:03,750
I wanted to remind her
that I could be infected
237
00:19:03,833 --> 00:19:05,458
and she could get infected too.
238
00:19:06,958 --> 00:19:09,166
[man] I think the problem
was your attitude.
239
00:19:10,208 --> 00:19:13,666
Great. My attitude again?
I've already apologized to her about this.
240
00:19:18,500 --> 00:19:19,791
Did you call your mother
241
00:19:20,541 --> 00:19:21,541
a bitch?
242
00:19:23,333 --> 00:19:24,291
Bitch?
243
00:19:24,958 --> 00:19:28,333
[man chuckles] She told me
that night you were in the living room
244
00:19:28,416 --> 00:19:30,000
and you told her you were sick.
245
00:19:32,083 --> 00:19:34,625
I only went out to shower and get water.
246
00:19:34,708 --> 00:19:36,791
I was always in my room.
247
00:19:37,291 --> 00:19:39,166
I didn't go to the living room.
248
00:19:43,250 --> 00:19:45,375
[gentle piano music plays]
249
00:19:56,875 --> 00:19:58,666
[woman] You must be Xiao Jing.
250
00:19:58,750 --> 00:20:00,250
Nice to meet you.
251
00:20:00,333 --> 00:20:01,625
Come on in. Come in.
252
00:20:02,375 --> 00:20:03,333
Come in.
253
00:20:13,375 --> 00:20:17,083
Qi-Wen, do you mind
if I give Xiao Jing a tour of the house?
254
00:20:18,750 --> 00:20:19,666
Go ahead.
255
00:20:20,333 --> 00:20:22,083
Xiao Jing, come on.
256
00:20:24,500 --> 00:20:26,166
We use this area most often.
257
00:20:27,041 --> 00:20:29,208
The three of us
eat breakfast together here.
258
00:20:32,291 --> 00:20:33,208
Try pushing it.
259
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:35,208
Give it a strong push.
260
00:20:45,416 --> 00:20:48,666
Uh, I heard about what happened
to your mom from Qi-Wen.
261
00:20:49,625 --> 00:20:51,041
Well, if you wouldn't mind,
262
00:20:51,666 --> 00:20:53,791
you're welcome
to stay here for a few days.
263
00:21:03,291 --> 00:21:04,541
Uh…
264
00:21:04,625 --> 00:21:06,416
Uh, let's have breakfast.
265
00:21:07,916 --> 00:21:10,291
[chuckles] The food's going to get cold.
266
00:21:13,291 --> 00:21:14,125
Hey, kid.
267
00:21:15,333 --> 00:21:16,916
Tell me, who are your parents?
268
00:21:19,875 --> 00:21:22,666
I'm sorry. I just want to know
if he is your child.
269
00:21:24,875 --> 00:21:25,750
Frank is--
270
00:21:25,833 --> 00:21:27,666
Qi-Wen and I are Frank's parents.
271
00:21:32,583 --> 00:21:34,208
Can you take me to the hospital?
272
00:21:41,291 --> 00:21:42,166
Xiao Jing,
273
00:21:42,666 --> 00:21:43,833
don't act like this.
274
00:21:45,416 --> 00:21:46,458
Don't worry.
275
00:21:48,458 --> 00:21:50,208
I won't ask you to stay with Mom.
276
00:21:51,916 --> 00:21:54,416
I just want you to take me back
to the hospital.
277
00:21:55,958 --> 00:21:57,041
Does Mom know?
278
00:21:58,916 --> 00:21:59,875
About what?
279
00:22:00,916 --> 00:22:02,291
That you have a son, Frank.
280
00:22:05,875 --> 00:22:06,791
Xiao Jing,
281
00:22:08,291 --> 00:22:10,708
I was planning on
explaining this to you today
282
00:22:11,416 --> 00:22:13,500
and let you two get to know each other.
283
00:22:14,750 --> 00:22:17,416
You divorced Mom
when I was in ninth grade.
284
00:22:18,291 --> 00:22:21,250
I can't believe
I already have a brother who's that age.
285
00:22:21,333 --> 00:22:22,833
Did you tell Mom or not?
286
00:22:23,833 --> 00:22:25,291
Does she know or not?
287
00:22:29,041 --> 00:22:30,125
Does she?
288
00:22:34,250 --> 00:22:35,125
[Qi-Wen sighs]
289
00:22:36,208 --> 00:22:37,458
I didn't tell her.
290
00:22:57,083 --> 00:23:00,458
She had a nervous breakdown
because she's under too much pressure.
291
00:23:01,583 --> 00:23:04,875
The doctor recommends she stay here
a couple more days for observation.
292
00:23:06,791 --> 00:23:09,750
[Jing] If it's just for observation,
we can do that at home.
293
00:23:11,333 --> 00:23:14,500
Xiao Jing, it's better
for your mom to stay at the hospital.
294
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:19,458
It's better for her to stay?
295
00:23:20,375 --> 00:23:23,333
I can't even get inside.
How will I take care of her?
296
00:23:24,208 --> 00:23:26,208
[gentle piano music plays]
297
00:23:46,041 --> 00:23:48,291
Be sure to take your medicines on time.
298
00:23:49,708 --> 00:23:51,375
Don't tire yourself out too much.
299
00:23:52,416 --> 00:23:54,333
-I'll go ahead.
-Aren't you coming up?
300
00:23:55,333 --> 00:23:56,416
Ma…
301
00:23:57,125 --> 00:23:58,416
Dad's busy.
302
00:23:58,500 --> 00:23:59,583
He's gotta go.
303
00:24:00,833 --> 00:24:01,708
Come on.
304
00:24:04,541 --> 00:24:06,916
[door unlocking]
305
00:24:53,708 --> 00:24:54,875
[knock at door]
306
00:24:54,958 --> 00:24:56,166
[Jing] Mom, time to eat.
307
00:25:03,458 --> 00:25:04,791
[Luo] Just leave it there.
308
00:25:18,166 --> 00:25:20,000
[Jing] Auntie, do you need anything?
309
00:25:20,625 --> 00:25:22,166
This is my last day.
310
00:25:23,500 --> 00:25:24,666
What's the matter?
311
00:25:26,250 --> 00:25:29,416
I know this is awkward,
but I haven't been paid in three months.
312
00:25:30,583 --> 00:25:33,000
Is everything okay with your family?
313
00:25:35,750 --> 00:25:36,625
[Jing] I'm sorry.
314
00:25:37,291 --> 00:25:38,750
You see, my mom's sick.
315
00:25:39,458 --> 00:25:41,708
I'll figure out
how to pay you really soon.
316
00:25:42,833 --> 00:25:44,416
Please don't worry about it.
317
00:25:45,625 --> 00:25:46,791
I'll get going.
318
00:26:01,916 --> 00:26:04,083

-[woman] Hey, where's my special combo?

00:26:05,083 --> 00:26:07,041
-[server 1] Okay, next.
-[server 2] Thank you.
321
00:26:07,125 --> 00:26:09,916
[server 1] Okay, a special combo. Next!
322
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:11,208
[server 2] Thank you!
323
00:26:11,291 --> 00:26:13,416
[server 1] Okay, a special combo.
324
00:26:13,500 --> 00:26:15,208
-Next!
-[man] Thank you.
325
00:26:15,291 --> 00:26:16,916
[server 2] Thank you. What would you like?
326
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,416
-[woman] The special combo.
-[server 2] Okay, special combo!
327
00:26:20,083 --> 00:26:24,125
[inhales and exhales heavily]
328
00:26:24,625 --> 00:26:25,875
Hey, Xiao Jing.
329
00:26:26,375 --> 00:26:27,666
Well… [clears throat]
330
00:26:29,375 --> 00:26:31,791
-Your mom's registered mail came again.
-Oh.
331
00:26:31,875 --> 00:26:35,208
Uh, I notified her several times.
I don't think she took care of it.
332
00:26:35,708 --> 00:26:38,833
And the maintenance fee,
you haven't paid for it in four months.
333
00:26:39,333 --> 00:26:42,125
All right, thank you, sir.
I'll tell my mom about it.
334
00:26:42,208 --> 00:26:43,083
Okay.
335
00:26:46,125 --> 00:26:47,583
Oh, hey, Xiao Jing,
336
00:26:47,666 --> 00:26:49,208
for the work outside,
337
00:26:49,291 --> 00:26:53,000
each unit owes 300,000
for the waterproofing and renovation.
338
00:26:53,083 --> 00:26:54,791
I've been telling you
about this for months.
339
00:26:54,875 --> 00:26:57,333
Uh, okay, I'll go
and tell my mom about that.
340
00:26:57,416 --> 00:26:58,250
Okay.
341
00:26:59,458 --> 00:27:01,333
Thank you. Thank you, sir.
342
00:27:01,416 --> 00:27:03,333
-Uh, don't forget.
-I won't. Thank you.
343
00:27:04,583 --> 00:27:06,208
-Uh, goodbye.
-Mm.

[people laughing]
347
00:27:12,791 --> 00:27:15,291
[woman] Whoo! Yeah!
348
00:27:16,041 --> 00:27:17,458
Ya-hoo!
349
00:27:19,500 --> 00:27:20,833
[all shouting excitedly]
350
00:27:29,333 --> 00:27:30,916
Why did you suddenly come here?
351
00:27:31,583 --> 00:27:34,958
The quarantine period ended yesterday.
You didn't go back to school.
352
00:27:35,916 --> 00:27:37,250
[Jing] Is Xiao Zhen back?
353
00:27:38,583 --> 00:27:40,291
[student] Only the two of you
didn't go back.
354
00:27:40,375 --> 00:27:41,875
We thought you tested positive too.
355
00:27:41,958 --> 00:27:43,250
And you still came here?
356
00:27:44,166 --> 00:27:45,375
Who is Xiao Zhen?
357
00:27:46,458 --> 00:27:48,166
Our classmate who tested positive.
358
00:27:48,250 --> 00:27:50,000
-I see.
-[student] We planned to surprise you.
359
00:27:50,083 --> 00:27:52,166
We kept ringing the doorbell,
but no one answered.
360
00:27:52,250 --> 00:27:53,916
Then your mom came to open the door.
361
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:57,000
That's right. Before you came here,
we heard that your mom was sick.
362
00:27:57,083 --> 00:27:59,250
We didn't think
she'd be having more fun than us.
363
00:27:59,750 --> 00:28:01,208
Ms. Luo, why are you sick?
364
00:28:11,166 --> 00:28:12,541
Uh, Ms. Luo,
365
00:28:12,625 --> 00:28:15,250
I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked that.
366
00:28:16,583 --> 00:28:17,666
Oh, it's fine.
367
00:28:18,291 --> 00:28:20,750
I don't think
it's a bad thing to ask, right?
368
00:28:20,833 --> 00:28:22,000
[chuckles]
369
00:28:25,375 --> 00:28:29,750
Bye, Ms. Luo, take good care of yourself.
We hope we can come visit here every day.
370
00:28:29,833 --> 00:28:30,750
[Luo] Okay.
371
00:28:31,250 --> 00:28:32,750
All right, get home safely.
372
00:28:33,250 --> 00:28:35,625
-[all] Bye.
-[student] See you soon, bye.
373
00:28:35,708 --> 00:28:36,708
[Luo] Goodbye.
374
00:28:36,791 --> 00:28:38,166
-[Jing] Take care.
-Goodbye.
375
00:28:38,250 --> 00:28:39,083
[student] Bye.
376
00:28:50,666 --> 00:28:52,375
What did you tell them about me?
377
00:28:53,958 --> 00:28:55,583
We just chatted about you.
378
00:28:57,666 --> 00:28:58,875
What did you chat about?
379
00:29:00,875 --> 00:29:03,541
We call each other
every once in a while to check in.
380
00:29:04,916 --> 00:29:06,041
Check in about what?
381
00:29:08,166 --> 00:29:09,791
Don't act like this, okay?
382
00:29:10,500 --> 00:29:12,541
They just came to spend time with you.
383
00:29:12,625 --> 00:29:14,333
It's not like anything went wrong.
384
00:29:16,166 --> 00:29:18,083
Actually, I'm fine by myself.
385
00:29:20,125 --> 00:29:22,333
I really find that hard to believe.
386
00:29:24,250 --> 00:29:26,125
Why did you run out that night?
387
00:29:27,666 --> 00:29:31,041
It wasn't raining, but you insisted
you got drenched by the rain.
388
00:29:31,958 --> 00:29:33,875
You were even brought to the hospital.
389
00:29:36,083 --> 00:29:37,125
What did you say?
390
00:29:45,333 --> 00:29:47,500
[water running]

398
00:30:37,083 --> 00:30:38,416
Xiao Jing, are you ready?
399
00:30:39,958 --> 00:30:41,416
It's 7:30. You're going to be late.
400
00:30:42,833 --> 00:30:43,875
Xiao Jing.
401
00:30:49,333 --> 00:30:50,916
You're still in your pajamas?
402
00:30:52,708 --> 00:30:54,000
Where are you going?
403
00:30:54,958 --> 00:30:56,000
To work.
404
00:30:56,666 --> 00:30:58,041
Aren't you going to school?
405
00:31:00,125 --> 00:31:01,250
Are you fine now?
406
00:31:03,708 --> 00:31:04,833
How am I not fine?
407
00:31:07,500 --> 00:31:09,000
Wait for me, okay?
408
00:31:09,083 --> 00:31:10,541
I need to wash my face.
409
00:31:11,208 --> 00:31:13,541
It's 7:30. I'm going to be late.
I'll go ahead.
410
00:31:13,625 --> 00:31:14,916

[indistinct chatter, laughter]
413
00:31:39,583 --> 00:31:41,500
[student 1 grunts] She's pretty good.
414
00:31:43,875 --> 00:31:45,291
-Nice!
-[student 2] Careful.
415
00:31:45,375 --> 00:31:46,375
[indistinct chatter]
416
00:31:49,833 --> 00:31:50,916
[student 1] Good job!
417

[door closes]
419
00:31:57,041 --> 00:31:57,958
[Jing] Ma?
420
00:32:01,083 --> 00:32:02,541
Why are you sleeping here?
421
00:32:05,291 --> 00:32:07,375
I fell asleep while waiting for you.
422
00:32:10,250 --> 00:32:12,791
I'm sorry, I should have let you know.
423
00:32:14,625 --> 00:32:15,708
Have you eaten?
424
00:32:17,583 --> 00:32:18,666
Not yet.
425
00:32:21,166 --> 00:32:24,416
Can you wait a bit longer?
I'll go and make something for you.
426
00:32:32,916 --> 00:32:33,750
Ma?
427
00:32:34,416 --> 00:32:35,791
Do you need help with that?
428
00:32:36,333 --> 00:32:38,166
I don't, just do your thing.
429
00:32:38,250 --> 00:32:39,500
I can do this myself.
430
00:32:41,416 --> 00:32:44,250
I think the problem
is the product variety.
431
00:32:44,333 --> 00:32:46,541
If there aren't enough varieties,
it's very…
432
00:32:49,958 --> 00:32:51,375
Why is my computer locked?
433
00:32:55,750 --> 00:32:57,875
Louis, can you wait for me?
[clears throat]
434
00:32:59,250 --> 00:33:01,208
Pin-Wen, come. Let's talk in my office.
435
00:33:15,250 --> 00:33:18,208
Pin-Wen, I really think
you should rest for a while.
436
00:33:18,291 --> 00:33:19,375
Why should I do that?
437
00:33:24,625 --> 00:33:27,083
You sat on your seat all day yesterday
438
00:33:27,166 --> 00:33:29,041
and didn't even move an inch.
439
00:33:29,666 --> 00:33:30,791
Everyone freaked out.
440
00:33:33,458 --> 00:33:36,083
That's because
I couldn't do anything on my computer.
441
00:33:37,416 --> 00:33:39,791
Someone changed my keyboard settings.
442
00:33:41,291 --> 00:33:43,208
No one touched your keyboard.
443
00:33:43,291 --> 00:33:46,416
No one touched the stuff on your desk
even while you were away.
444
00:33:48,458 --> 00:33:51,166
[scoffs] If I'm willing
to take a 60% pay cut,
445
00:33:53,041 --> 00:33:54,375
can I come back to work?
446
00:33:55,833 --> 00:33:57,416
[chattering and laughing]
447
00:34:00,875 --> 00:34:02,000
[Luo] Xiao Jing.
448
00:34:02,083 --> 00:34:03,041
[students laughing]
449
00:34:06,291 --> 00:34:08,083
[student] Come on, we gotta catch the bus.
450
00:34:16,208 --> 00:34:19,166
I left work early,
so I came to see if I could pick you up.
451
00:34:22,541 --> 00:34:24,208
[Jing] What happened to your car?
452
00:34:26,083 --> 00:34:27,958
I was in a rush this morning.
453
00:34:28,041 --> 00:34:30,541
I bumped into the pole
at the company parking lot.
454
00:34:32,708 --> 00:34:34,500
Wanna go grab a bite? Come on.
455
00:34:44,541 --> 00:34:46,208
How are your advanced test preps?
456
00:34:48,083 --> 00:34:49,208
[Jing] It's all right.
457
00:34:50,291 --> 00:34:51,708
When does enrollment open?
458
00:34:52,875 --> 00:34:54,291
I'm not gonna apply.
459
00:34:54,833 --> 00:34:56,541
My test scores aren't that great.
460
00:35:00,250 --> 00:35:01,291
You know what?
461
00:35:02,458 --> 00:35:04,041
Your dad might be coming back.
462
00:35:05,375 --> 00:35:06,791
When he came to see me,
463
00:35:07,458 --> 00:35:10,541
I told him that I'm quite busy lately,
464
00:35:11,208 --> 00:35:13,125
but maybe we can try to talk it out.
465
00:35:15,666 --> 00:35:16,625
Ma?
466
00:35:17,625 --> 00:35:19,708
Can we really afford this expensive meal?
467
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:23,166
Is there a problem?
468
00:35:25,791 --> 00:35:28,833
The building manager
gave me a dunning letter the other day.
469
00:35:30,708 --> 00:35:34,375
And he said that we haven't paid
the maintenance fee for a few months.
470
00:35:34,458 --> 00:35:35,791
Oh, don't mind him.
471
00:35:37,083 --> 00:35:39,291
I don't know
what's wrong with that baldie.
472
00:35:40,041 --> 00:35:41,750
He's hostile towards us.
473
00:35:43,416 --> 00:35:44,458
To be honest,
474
00:35:45,041 --> 00:35:47,375
I invested in a South African fund
a few months ago.
475
00:35:48,833 --> 00:35:50,583
Its value went down for a while.
476
00:35:51,625 --> 00:35:53,583
Some of our loan payments got delayed.
477
00:35:54,500 --> 00:35:56,375
But it's already recovered from that.
478
00:36:02,958 --> 00:36:05,416
Is everything fine with you
at work these days?
479
00:36:06,416 --> 00:36:09,208
I'm doing great.
They're all glad that I'm back.

[tense music building]
498
00:37:16,458 --> 00:37:17,375
I didn't.

You won't admit it?
500
00:37:22,625 --> 00:37:24,833
Why is my foreign currency passbook gone?
501
00:37:24,916 --> 00:37:26,375
And the gold in my closet?
502
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,041
It's for your studies abroad.
503
00:37:31,916 --> 00:37:32,875
Where did you take them?
504
00:37:35,208 --> 00:37:38,208
How was I supposed to know
you had any of that to begin with?

I had a dream last night.
518
00:38:47,750 --> 00:38:49,291
I dreamt about a building.
519
00:38:50,291 --> 00:38:52,416
It didn't have any safety railings.
520
00:38:53,875 --> 00:38:55,333
It was so quiet inside.
521
00:38:55,958 --> 00:38:57,041
No one came or went.
522
00:38:58,583 --> 00:39:00,958
After a while, I heard a child's laughter.
523
00:39:01,041 --> 00:39:03,000
[eerie music plays faintly]
524
00:39:03,083 --> 00:39:05,625
Next, I saw a child
who recently learned to walk.
525
00:39:06,375 --> 00:39:08,125
They started to totter
526
00:39:09,458 --> 00:39:13,583
from one end of the building
towards the balcony with no railing.
527
00:39:15,500 --> 00:39:17,375
Then I heard a woman's scream.
528
00:39:18,666 --> 00:39:22,000
The mom had realized that her child
was about to fall off the edge.
529
00:39:22,833 --> 00:39:25,125
She rushed towards
the direction of the child.
530
00:39:27,750 --> 00:39:29,291
The child walked right up to the cusp…
531
00:39:31,791 --> 00:39:34,750
and suddenly stopped
to look back at that woman.
532
00:39:36,916 --> 00:39:39,291
The woman was running so fast
she couldn't stop,
533
00:39:40,125 --> 00:39:41,500
and she tumbled below.
534
00:39:44,041 --> 00:39:45,125
Then what happened?
535
00:39:45,208 --> 00:39:47,083
-[music fades]
-Then I woke up.
536
00:39:49,625 --> 00:39:50,833
After you woke up?
537
00:39:53,833 --> 00:39:55,125
I came to your room.
538
00:39:58,541 --> 00:39:59,708
Why did you come here?
539
00:40:02,666 --> 00:40:04,250
To sit and watch you sleep.
540
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:12,208
Why don't you ask me
541
00:40:13,333 --> 00:40:14,958
how long I've been sitting here?
542
00:40:18,375 --> 00:40:19,791
How long have you been here?
543
00:40:22,041 --> 00:40:23,041
Just until now.
544
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:26,916
[sighs]
545
00:40:27,458 --> 00:40:29,041
All right, stop lazing in bed.
546
00:40:29,125 --> 00:40:31,250
I'll take you to school in 15 minutes.
547
00:40:59,958 --> 00:41:01,250
Be home for dinner.

Sir, excuse me.
Can you please stop on the side?
551
00:42:36,125 --> 00:42:38,000
Look at how scared you are.
552
00:42:38,958 --> 00:42:41,000
When have I become your nightmare?
553
00:42:44,458 --> 00:42:46,291
You're coming to work with me, then?
554
00:42:47,458 --> 00:42:52,000
Let me tell you upfront first,
I'm very busy. I don't have time for you.
555
00:43:03,291 --> 00:43:04,500
Come on.
556
00:43:14,333 --> 00:43:16,041
Aren't you coming to work with me?
557
00:43:18,958 --> 00:43:21,375
Do you think I'm lying
about going to work?
558
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:25,583
That's not what I'm thinking.
559
00:43:29,458 --> 00:43:30,958
What are you thinking, then?
560
00:43:36,541 --> 00:43:38,791
You're going to be late for school.
Get going.

Remember this phrase
because it's in the passive voice.

00:44:13,208 --> 00:44:15,375
"Then what have you been engrossed by?"
566
00:44:15,458 --> 00:44:17,791
"The most affectionate principle
by my mother."
567
00:44:18,375 --> 00:44:20,375
"Affectionate," an adjective.

"Being loved, deeply loved."

Hey, Xiao Jing.

Your unit caught fire.

What happened?
581
00:45:17,416 --> 00:45:19,541
I have no idea. A fire suddenly broke out.
582
00:45:20,333 --> 00:45:21,791
Where's my mom?
583
00:45:21,875 --> 00:45:23,541
Uh, she's in the hospital now.
584
00:45:25,416 --> 00:45:28,083
Uh, don't go upstairs yet.
It's still very dangerous now.
585
00:45:28,166 --> 00:45:29,791
Go see your mom at the hospital first.

Hello, I'm Luo Pin-Wen's daughter.
587

How is my mom doing?
588
00:45:45,708 --> 00:45:47,416
Your mom's vital signs are stable.
589
00:45:47,500 --> 00:45:50,750
But she has minor burns on her right hand.
We need to examine her further.
590

Has she had any physical
or mental problems before?
591
00:45:55,791 --> 00:45:57,625
She was brought
to the hospital last month.

Was it at this hospital?
593
00:46:00,750 --> 00:46:01,583
Yes.

Doctor,
595
00:46:05,791 --> 00:46:07,500
can I go and see her now?
596
00:46:08,458 --> 00:46:10,416
Yes, but don't stay too long.
597
00:46:10,500 --> 00:46:13,166
Don't stick around hospitals
unless you need to.
598
00:46:14,166 --> 00:46:15,541
Let her get some rest first.
599
00:46:15,625 --> 00:46:17,750
We'll transfer her
to the psychiatric ward.

[neighbor] Xiao Ling, all the water here
needs to be cleaned up.

Also, clean up the water over there too.
604
00:46:44,250 --> 00:46:46,416
Xiao Jing, you're finally home.
605
00:46:47,125 --> 00:46:49,208
What is your family
going to do about all this?
606
00:46:49,291 --> 00:46:51,750
-I'm so sorry.
-The entire building has no electricity.

We can't even use the elevator.
We can't cook anything either.

00:46:54,583 --> 00:46:55,750
Your mom used to complain

00:46:55,833 --> 00:46:58,333
about how our shoe racks looked
when we put them outside.
610
00:46:58,416 --> 00:47:01,333
Now look at what she's done
to the rest of us. Where is she?

-I'm her daughter.

Ah. Your mom left the company
about two weeks ago.
618
00:48:10,125 --> 00:48:12,375
Could she stop by to do some paperwork?
619
00:48:12,458 --> 00:48:13,708
She left the company?

with the door open?

00:48:35,916 --> 00:48:38,125
I was too tired. I dozed off.

00:48:40,333 --> 00:48:41,583
Is your mom okay?
625
00:48:43,916 --> 00:48:44,958
Not really.

After finishing my work in the next alley,
uh, I passed by here.

Your neighbors said
that your unit caught fire,

00:49:01,250 --> 00:49:02,833

Not yet.

of people outside the pharmacy

As the door opened,
everyone rushed in to buy face masks.

Some even started lining up
before 8:00 a.m.
638
00:49:31,041 --> 00:49:32,958
Did you tell your dad what happened?
639
00:49:37,041 --> 00:49:38,000
No.
640
00:49:43,625 --> 00:49:45,666
I shouldn't ask you these things.
641
00:49:51,833 --> 00:49:52,750
Auntie,
642
00:49:53,250 --> 00:49:55,875
I'll find a way to pay you
what my mom owes you.
643
00:49:58,916 --> 00:50:02,250
I didn't come to your house today
to ask you for money, Xiao Jing.
644
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:08,375
I worked for your family
for over ten years.
645
00:50:08,958 --> 00:50:10,916
I've been here since the beginning.
646
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:13,541
You were still so small
when you first moved here.
647
00:50:23,958 --> 00:50:26,125
Perhaps it's because I'm not educated.
648
00:50:27,625 --> 00:50:29,666
I don't understand why
649
00:50:29,750 --> 00:50:32,083
such a good family
has turned out this way.
650
00:50:36,625 --> 00:50:38,083
I'm too exhausted today.
651
00:50:38,708 --> 00:50:41,500
Tomorrow morning,
I'll go and help you clean up.
652
00:50:44,833 --> 00:50:47,750
I'm going to her office tomorrow
to get her stuff.
653
00:50:47,833 --> 00:50:49,125
I'll be back before noon.
654
00:50:51,375 --> 00:50:52,208
Mm.

[beeps]
656

[woman] This is our department head,
Director Chen.
657
00:51:27,125 --> 00:51:30,583
[Chen] Xiao Jing, I'm very sorry
about what happened to your mother.
658
00:51:31,916 --> 00:51:33,250
What are you sorry for?
659
00:51:37,291 --> 00:51:39,500
How did you know
she's still in the hospital?
660
00:51:40,416 --> 00:51:43,416
[Chen] I heard about it.
What exactly happened?
661
00:51:44,875 --> 00:51:47,666
When I came home from school,
our unit had caught fire.
662
00:51:49,541 --> 00:51:50,750
[Chen] It caught fire?
663
00:51:53,375 --> 00:51:55,250
What happened to her in this office?
664
00:51:59,416 --> 00:52:01,583
To be honest,
since your mom left the company,
665
00:52:01,666 --> 00:52:03,583
she still drives to the office daily
666
00:52:04,458 --> 00:52:06,250
and parks in the manager's space.
667
00:52:07,125 --> 00:52:09,625
She even rammed into someone's bumper
a few days ago.
668
00:52:11,166 --> 00:52:12,583
All that aside,
669
00:52:13,625 --> 00:52:16,541
she doesn't have an access card.
670
00:52:17,625 --> 00:52:20,708
When she gets here,
she sits all day at the reception area.
671
00:52:23,958 --> 00:52:25,458
Why didn't you do anything?
672
00:52:27,541 --> 00:52:28,583
What can we do?
673
00:52:30,500 --> 00:52:31,458
Call the police?
674
00:52:33,833 --> 00:52:36,500

have worked together for so many years.

[woman] Since your mom worked
at the company for 12 years,
677
00:52:45,750 --> 00:52:47,916
this is a token from all her colleagues.
678
00:52:48,666 --> 00:52:52,500
We'll also wire
her severance pay to her account.
679
00:52:56,416 --> 00:52:57,583
How much is it?
680
00:52:57,666 --> 00:53:00,125
According to company policy,
it's six months' pay.
681
00:53:01,166 --> 00:53:03,333
Can I have one month of that in cash?
682
00:53:05,791 --> 00:53:07,833
Then wire the rest to her account.

Auntie.
691
00:53:53,333 --> 00:53:56,166
I washed all the clothes
your mom left on the floor.

[chuckles]
693
00:53:58,791 --> 00:54:01,791
There's no space anymore.
I just hung them everywhere.
694
00:54:10,375 --> 00:54:11,708
I'm really sorry.
695
00:54:12,458 --> 00:54:14,458
We delayed your pay for so long.
696
00:54:16,083 --> 00:54:18,333
My mom insisted that I give this to you.
697
00:54:22,916 --> 00:54:24,875
Isn't your mom still in the hospital?
698
00:54:27,500 --> 00:54:29,583
I stopped by the hospital this morning,
699
00:54:30,708 --> 00:54:32,500
so she told me to withdraw money.
700
00:54:35,333 --> 00:54:36,875
If it's not convenient,
701
00:54:38,208 --> 00:54:39,958
you can give it to me some other time.
702
00:54:41,958 --> 00:54:43,041
No, it's fine.
703
00:54:43,708 --> 00:54:44,833
Thank you, Auntie.
704
00:54:44,916 --> 00:54:47,750
Without you around here,
I really don't know what I'd do.
705
00:54:54,958 --> 00:54:55,916
Thank you.
706
00:54:59,875 --> 00:55:01,250

709
00:55:12,625 --> 00:55:14,125
Why haven't I seen him again?
710
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:18,708
[Jing] My parents are divorced.
711

We only asked him to come that day
since it was an emergency.
712
00:55:24,500 --> 00:55:27,875
You've been the only one taking care
of your mom since she got sick?
713
00:55:32,666 --> 00:55:33,666
Yes.
714
00:55:36,041 --> 00:55:38,458
And she takes medication
as prescribed at home?
715
00:55:40,333 --> 00:55:42,333
I always give it to her on time.
716
00:55:44,833 --> 00:55:46,750

717
00:55:49,291 --> 00:55:50,250
No.
718

Taking her medication on time
719
00:55:52,916 --> 00:55:55,333
is important to stabilize
your mom's condition.

721

00:56:01,750 --> 00:56:03,250

723
00:56:05,708 --> 00:56:07,125
Do you want to see her?
724
00:56:22,208 --> 00:56:25,500
Honestly, I can't tell you
when her situation will improve.
725
00:56:25,583 --> 00:56:27,041
It may be soon,
726
00:56:27,125 --> 00:56:28,833
or it may take a while.
727
00:56:28,916 --> 00:56:30,250
But this kind of illness,
728
00:56:30,333 --> 00:56:32,333
if you don't treat it with proper meds,
729
00:56:32,416 --> 00:56:33,958
it might possibly get worse.
730
00:56:34,500 --> 00:56:36,125
Your house caught fire
731
00:56:36,208 --> 00:56:38,625
because your mom
was having an episode back then.
732
00:56:39,250 --> 00:56:40,833
We'll keep an eye on her,
733
00:56:40,916 --> 00:56:43,416
and we hope
there won't be any more accidents.
734
00:56:43,500 --> 00:56:44,750
[Jing] What should I do?
735
00:56:46,875 --> 00:56:48,166
Spend more time with her,

737
00:56:49,500 --> 00:56:51,000
make sure she takes her meds.
738
00:56:51,708 --> 00:56:53,416
And just be there for her.
739
00:56:54,916 --> 00:56:56,166
How should I do that?
740
00:56:58,125 --> 00:57:00,125
Try not to be too harsh on her.
741
00:57:00,208 --> 00:57:02,125

742

[woman] Many years ago,
753
00:58:49,583 --> 00:58:52,083
I saw this painting
in an art museum abroad.
754
00:58:52,916 --> 00:58:54,708
The original piece
755
00:58:55,291 --> 00:58:57,500
was a very intricate pastel painting.
756
00:58:59,666 --> 00:59:00,833
Originally,
757
00:59:00,916 --> 00:59:02,333
the sun's rays
758
00:59:02,916 --> 00:59:04,791

Every rider
760
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:10,041

761
00:59:11,333 --> 00:59:14,208
But this painting
might be hanging here for too long.
762
00:59:14,291 --> 00:59:16,083
Its colors have faded.
763
00:59:16,666 --> 00:59:18,375
Only a shade of blue is left.
764
00:59:19,500 --> 00:59:21,666
In 19th century France,
765
00:59:21,750 --> 00:59:24,125
when painting horse races,
766
00:59:24,208 --> 00:59:26,708
the painters focused
on their beauty while sprinting.
767
00:59:29,125 --> 00:59:32,625
However, Degas was unlike the others.
768
00:59:35,541 --> 00:59:36,541
Do you know Degas?
769
00:59:44,583 --> 00:59:47,208
He was the greatest painter
during that era,

I saw the same painting here again.

Degas' painting about horses
that I told you about this morning.

I felt quite emotional.
799
01:02:16,541 --> 01:02:20,458
Degas painted those riders riding
their beautiful horses on the valley.

If we can recover
from what these quacks in here do to us,

can people really recover
just by throwing balls?

[Jing shouting] What are you doing?
Why are you here?
888
01:07:18,416 --> 01:07:20,750
There's nothing to see here.
You can go now.
889
01:07:24,916 --> 01:07:27,083
What? Can't you understand me?
890
01:07:27,166 --> 01:07:28,208
Just leave!
891
01:07:31,708 --> 01:07:33,500
[footsteps thudding]
892
01:07:47,625 --> 01:07:48,541
Mama.
893
01:07:48,625 --> 01:07:49,583
[music fades]
894
01:07:49,666 --> 01:07:50,833
They're gone now.
895
01:07:51,708 --> 01:07:52,708
We're all right.
896
01:07:55,583 --> 01:07:56,500
[Luo] Mm.
897
01:07:57,791 --> 01:07:58,875
[sighs]
898
01:08:01,291 --> 01:08:03,458
I can't even peel eggshells well now.
899
01:08:07,583 --> 01:08:08,916
It's all right.
900
01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:10,291
Look at my egg.
901
01:08:10,916 --> 01:08:12,458
It wasn't peeled smoothly.
902
01:08:17,500 --> 01:08:19,375
Why are there
so many dark spots on the table?
903
01:08:20,666 --> 01:08:23,166
It became this way
after this place caught fire.
904
01:08:25,291 --> 01:08:26,125
[Luo] Oh.
905
01:08:34,458 --> 01:08:35,291
Mama?
906
01:08:35,875 --> 01:08:38,041
Why don't we just sell this place?
907
01:08:42,625 --> 01:08:44,000
That's impossible.
908
01:08:45,125 --> 01:08:46,958
We've been living here for so long.
909
01:08:49,875 --> 01:08:52,958
But we haven't paid
any of our loans for three months already.
910
01:08:53,958 --> 01:08:55,791
We have an $80,000 mortgage,
911
01:08:56,708 --> 01:09:00,000
plus the loan for your car,
that's 120,000 in total.
912
01:09:01,166 --> 01:09:03,333
That doesn't include
the parking and maintenance fee.
913
01:09:04,208 --> 01:09:06,750
-And for the renovation work--
-How did you know these things?
914
01:09:11,083 --> 01:09:12,541
I checked your bank account.
915
01:09:15,791 --> 01:09:17,708
Who gave you the right to do that?
916
01:09:19,000 --> 01:09:21,083
The bank sent us several dunning letters.
917
01:09:21,833 --> 01:09:24,041
This place will be foreclosed next month.
918
01:09:26,291 --> 01:09:28,625
We can't afford to live here anymore.
919
01:09:31,125 --> 01:09:32,666
[Luo] I won't sell the place.
920
01:09:33,541 --> 01:09:35,166
If I sell this place,
921
01:09:36,125 --> 01:09:37,875
what if your dad comes back?
922
01:09:38,541 --> 01:09:39,708
He won't come back.
923
01:09:42,208 --> 01:09:43,333
Don't be ridiculous.
924
01:09:44,458 --> 01:09:46,791
A few days ago,
he told me he's moving back.
925
01:09:48,500 --> 01:09:49,583
A few days ago?
926
01:09:52,875 --> 01:09:54,833
I've been with you these past few days.
927
01:09:55,875 --> 01:09:56,916
Have you forgotten?
928
01:09:58,125 --> 01:09:59,916
I haven't seen him for a long time.
929
01:10:00,500 --> 01:10:01,958
[gentle string music plays]
930
01:10:02,041 --> 01:10:04,458
He came back,
you weren't just aware that he did.
931
01:10:05,250 --> 01:10:08,125
And all of his important stuff,
it's still here.
932
01:10:09,916 --> 01:10:11,041
His old photos,
933
01:10:11,625 --> 01:10:14,166
his books and his records.
934
01:10:14,250 --> 01:10:16,541
He'll be back sooner or later. Mm.
935
01:10:17,791 --> 01:10:20,125
Dad has been gone for three years.
936
01:10:21,208 --> 01:10:22,833
He doesn't want these anymore.
937
01:10:26,333 --> 01:10:29,041
He did come back,
you-- you just didn't know it.
938
01:10:29,583 --> 01:10:30,791
He did come back.
939
01:10:31,833 --> 01:10:33,166
You just didn't know it.
940
01:10:34,166 --> 01:10:35,291
He did come back.
941
01:10:36,458 --> 01:10:37,291
He did.
942
01:10:38,708 --> 01:10:40,750
He came back, you just didn't know it.
943
01:10:41,708 --> 01:10:42,625
You just didn't know.
944
01:10:43,958 --> 01:10:44,833
He did come back.
945
01:10:44,916 --> 01:10:46,500
-Talk to Dad.
-He did come back.
946
01:10:48,166 --> 01:10:49,791
Ask him when he's coming back.
947
01:10:50,416 --> 01:10:51,791
[line ringing]
948
01:10:56,166 --> 01:11:01,083
FATHER
949
01:11:02,208 --> 01:11:03,458
[line continues ringing]
950
01:11:04,958 --> 01:11:07,291
[Qi-Wen] Hello, Xiao Jing.
How are you doing?
951
01:11:08,041 --> 01:11:09,125
Will you tell Mama
952
01:11:10,291 --> 01:11:11,791
when you're moving back here.
953
01:11:13,708 --> 01:11:14,708
[Qi-Wen sighs]
954
01:11:16,333 --> 01:11:17,666
She's right beside me.
955
01:11:18,958 --> 01:11:19,958
Just tell her.
956
01:11:23,166 --> 01:11:24,250
[taps phone]
957
01:11:28,083 --> 01:11:29,916
Why are you making your dad do this?
958
01:11:31,583 --> 01:11:34,375
You can't tell anyone
that he's coming back.
959
01:11:36,791 --> 01:11:38,000
Because if you do,
960
01:11:39,875 --> 01:11:41,125
I won't forgive you.
961
01:11:45,291 --> 01:11:46,250
Okay.
962
01:11:48,625 --> 01:11:49,833
I won't tell anyone.
963
01:11:53,291 --> 01:11:56,125
Eat your breakfast,
then I'll take you for a walk, okay?
964
01:12:02,291 --> 01:12:04,541
[Luo] Thank you
for walking with me every day.
965
01:12:07,041 --> 01:12:09,250
-I'm sorry about this morning.
-[people] Ah!
966
01:12:09,333 --> 01:12:11,458
[Luo] I shouldn't have
spoken to you that way.
967
01:12:14,125 --> 01:12:15,208
[Jing] Forget it.
968
01:12:17,375 --> 01:12:19,625
[Luo] Don't worry
about our household affairs.
969
01:12:20,708 --> 01:12:22,166
I can take care of all of that.
970
01:12:22,250 --> 01:12:24,041
-Just give me a while.
-[people] Ah!
971
01:12:25,750 --> 01:12:27,375
[Jing] How are you fixing them?
972
01:12:29,208 --> 01:12:30,875
[Luo] I will find a job tomorrow.
973
01:12:33,000 --> 01:12:34,208
[Jing] What kind of job?
974
01:12:36,375 --> 01:12:38,833
[Luo] A few days ago,
I passed by a supermarket.
975
01:12:38,916 --> 01:12:41,833
I saw a notice by the entrance
that they're hiring staff.
976
01:12:45,625 --> 01:12:47,250
Would you want that kind of job?
977
01:12:49,333 --> 01:12:50,833
There's nothing wrong with it.
978
01:12:51,625 --> 01:12:52,750
Anyway, it's work.
979
01:12:53,250 --> 01:12:54,750
With work, I'll have income.
980
01:12:58,333 --> 01:12:59,166
Ma?
981
01:13:00,625 --> 01:13:03,875
I don't think
you need to rush to find work.
982
01:13:05,208 --> 01:13:06,458
You should rest at home.
983
01:13:07,291 --> 01:13:08,916
[Luo] I have to go out and work.
984
01:13:10,125 --> 01:13:11,958
I can't just stay at home every day.
985
01:13:14,000 --> 01:13:15,875
You don't have any work experience?
986
01:13:17,541 --> 01:13:19,208
[Luo] I worked for a while after…
987
01:13:19,750 --> 01:13:21,041
after graduation.
988
01:13:22,125 --> 01:13:24,000
But when my child was born,
989
01:13:25,666 --> 01:13:27,250
I-- I stopped working.
990
01:13:28,083 --> 01:13:30,791
If that's the case,
then why do you want to work again?
991
01:13:31,791 --> 01:13:33,208
My child is all grown up.
992
01:13:33,708 --> 01:13:35,958
So I'm bored at home.
993
01:13:36,666 --> 01:13:38,916
Basically, the position
you're applying for
994
01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:41,333
won't be more interesting
than staying at home.
995
01:13:43,041 --> 01:13:44,166
[Luo] I just want…
996
01:13:45,708 --> 01:13:48,125
to work and to meet more people.
997
01:13:50,291 --> 01:13:52,000
Does our chat make you nervous?
998
01:13:53,375 --> 01:13:54,541
[hesitates] No.
999
01:13:55,750 --> 01:13:56,666
No, it doesn't.
1000
01:13:57,708 --> 01:13:59,916
I think I've just stayed at home too long.
1001
01:14:00,666 --> 01:14:01,833
Mm, so…
1002
01:14:01,916 --> 01:14:03,375
Not used to social stuff?
1003
01:14:04,208 --> 01:14:05,041
That's right.
1004
01:14:05,666 --> 01:14:07,625
Is your family fine with you working?
1005
01:14:09,583 --> 01:14:11,583
[hesitates] My husband…
1006
01:14:12,083 --> 01:14:14,125
My husband passed away a few years ago.
1007
01:14:16,541 --> 01:14:17,541
I'm sorry.
1008
01:14:17,625 --> 01:14:19,458
I wasn't trying to pry or anything.
1009
01:14:20,666 --> 01:14:23,416
It's just that a lot of people
tend to quit after a little while,
1010
01:14:23,500 --> 01:14:25,250
and family issues come up a lot.
1011
01:14:26,541 --> 01:14:28,833
I… I won't have that problem.
1012
01:14:30,916 --> 01:14:33,666
You don't seem like the type
who works at a supermarket.
1013
01:14:35,500 --> 01:14:37,500
I… I really can do it.
1014
01:14:42,833 --> 01:14:45,625
Start working here next week, then.
[clicks pen]
1015
01:14:46,916 --> 01:14:48,208
[machine whirring]
1016
01:14:55,083 --> 01:14:56,291
[elevator bell dings]
1017
01:14:59,250 --> 01:15:01,625
We have milk deliveries every day,
1018
01:15:01,708 --> 01:15:04,333
at around 7:00 to 7:30 in the morning.
1019
01:15:04,416 --> 01:15:06,291
They'll arrive at our receiving area.
1020
01:15:06,375 --> 01:15:08,041
Before we open the store,
1021
01:15:08,125 --> 01:15:10,250
we must get everything prepared and ready.
1022
01:15:11,333 --> 01:15:13,875
Do you know what's
the most important thing for milk?
1023
01:15:14,375 --> 01:15:15,208
[Luo] I don't.
1024
01:15:15,875 --> 01:15:17,125
Its temperature.
1025
01:15:20,250 --> 01:15:21,666
It's your first day of work.
1026
01:15:22,375 --> 01:15:24,333
I'll teach you how we do things.
1027
01:15:28,666 --> 01:15:31,208
Right after closing,
we'll pull down the blinds.
1028
01:15:32,208 --> 01:15:33,791
Do you know why we use blinds?
1029
01:15:34,375 --> 01:15:35,208
I don't.
1030
01:15:35,291 --> 01:15:36,750
Do you have curtains at home?
1031
01:15:38,166 --> 01:15:39,000
Mm-hmm.
1032
01:15:39,083 --> 01:15:41,583
Well, curtains can
control the temperature,
1033
01:15:41,666 --> 01:15:44,291
but can also conserve energy
and keep pests away.
1034
01:15:44,375 --> 01:15:47,208
When you come to work in the morning,
pull the blinds up,
1035
01:15:48,208 --> 01:15:50,000
then turn on the lights,
1036
01:15:50,083 --> 01:15:51,541
and check the temperature.
1037
01:15:51,625 --> 01:15:54,833
Our milk area's temperature
is zero to three degrees Celsius.
1038
01:15:54,916 --> 01:15:57,625
If you have no questions,
let's check our list of prices.
1039
01:15:57,708 --> 01:15:59,708
[man on TV] One oyster omelet to go.
1040
01:15:59,791 --> 01:16:00,750
[woman 1] Okay.
1041
01:16:00,833 --> 01:16:02,208
-[woman 2] Are you busy?
-[man] Yes.
1042
01:16:02,291 --> 01:16:04,250
[reporter] As they say,
being busy is a good thing.
1043
01:16:04,333 --> 01:16:06,458
The stall owner's body language
attests to that.
1044
01:16:06,541 --> 01:16:10,208
After lockdown is lifted,
people also get a breath of fresh air.
1045
01:16:10,291 --> 01:16:12,625
After the pandemic
broke out five months ago,
1046
01:16:12,708 --> 01:16:15,083
this lively scene
in Lukang Street, Changhua,
1047
01:16:15,166 --> 01:16:17,291
is like getting rain after a long drought.
1048
01:16:19,125 --> 01:16:20,916
[woman] Do you want to eat with us?
1049
01:16:36,375 --> 01:16:39,125
It's all right
even if you don't chat with us,
1050
01:16:39,208 --> 01:16:42,750
because we're always saying
you're our resident beauty.
1051
01:16:43,666 --> 01:16:46,083
The guys must have been lining up for you.
1052
01:16:47,458 --> 01:16:48,416
[scanner beeps]
1053
01:17:10,625 --> 01:17:11,708
Luo Pin-Wen.
1054
01:17:20,166 --> 01:17:21,583
Don't you know who I am?
1055
01:17:25,333 --> 01:17:27,791
I-- I could hardly recognize you.
1056
01:17:30,375 --> 01:17:31,666
She's my younger sister.
1057
01:17:34,958 --> 01:17:38,541
Sis, I'll walk around up ahead.
So you can talk with your friend.
1058
01:17:45,375 --> 01:17:48,000
[woman] Why didn't you come see me
after you got discharged?
1059
01:17:48,500 --> 01:17:50,250
Didn't I give you my phone number?
1060
01:17:52,875 --> 01:17:53,708
I…
1061
01:17:55,541 --> 01:17:57,625
I couldn't find any reason to see you.
1062
01:17:59,083 --> 01:18:01,416
We can have a chat just like in the past.
1063
01:18:06,166 --> 01:18:08,166
[gentle piano music plays]
1064
01:18:12,541 --> 01:18:14,041
What are you busy with now?
1065
01:18:15,916 --> 01:18:19,666
I actually opened a small art gallery
with my sister.
1066
01:18:22,416 --> 01:18:23,500
A gallery?
1067
01:18:24,708 --> 01:18:25,958
I didn't tell you, right?
1068
01:18:26,500 --> 01:18:29,083
I used to work at an auction house.
1069
01:18:30,125 --> 01:18:33,833
Later on,
I started hearing a voice talking to me.
1070
01:18:34,875 --> 01:18:37,000
That's when I realized that I was sick.
1071
01:18:37,916 --> 01:18:39,125
For the last few years,
1072
01:18:40,166 --> 01:18:42,208
my sister has been taking care of me.
1073
01:18:44,291 --> 01:18:46,458
What kind of person
was talking to you then?
1074
01:18:47,916 --> 01:18:50,333
It was a guy who sounded very young.
1075
01:18:50,916 --> 01:18:52,625
His voice was always gentle.
1076
01:18:53,833 --> 01:18:55,500
When I first started hearing him speak,
1077
01:18:55,583 --> 01:18:58,083
I was pretty surprised,
it was quite interesting.
1078
01:18:58,166 --> 01:19:01,041
It was like someone
was talking sweetly to you all day.
1079
01:19:03,333 --> 01:19:04,416
But later on,
1080
01:19:05,333 --> 01:19:06,916
it was very agonizing.
1081
01:19:08,666 --> 01:19:11,041
So much that I couldn't even work anymore.
1082
01:19:12,791 --> 01:19:13,958
So one day,
1083
01:19:14,041 --> 01:19:17,541
I wanted to drive the voice away
with the power of my own voice.
1084
01:19:18,208 --> 01:19:20,041
I sang throughout the night,
1085
01:19:20,125 --> 01:19:21,625
and sometime during the night…
1086
01:19:23,375 --> 01:19:27,291
the voice that arrived so quickly
left just as suddenly.
1087
01:19:28,750 --> 01:19:30,041
Then a while ago…
1088
01:19:31,750 --> 01:19:33,458
when I was hospitalized,
1089
01:19:34,916 --> 01:19:37,166
I never heard his voice again.
1090
01:19:38,500 --> 01:19:40,041
So I started missing him.
1091
01:19:41,916 --> 01:19:43,166
And now,
1092
01:19:43,250 --> 01:19:45,500
singing is just a form of longing for him.
1093
01:19:49,500 --> 01:19:51,291
Do you still miss that person?
1094
01:19:54,166 --> 01:19:55,041
Yes, I do.
1095
01:19:55,791 --> 01:19:57,416
I really miss him a lot.
1096
01:19:58,833 --> 01:20:00,666
Do you want to hear his voice again?
1097
01:20:02,416 --> 01:20:03,250
I don't.
1098
01:20:05,125 --> 01:20:06,125
[chuckles softly]
1099
01:20:06,208 --> 01:20:07,833
I don't want to at all.
1100
01:20:12,541 --> 01:20:14,541
[gentle piano music continues]
1101
01:20:27,583 --> 01:20:28,666
[music fades]
1102
01:20:51,750 --> 01:20:52,583
Mama?
1103
01:20:53,833 --> 01:20:55,291
So how was your work today?
1104
01:20:56,625 --> 01:20:57,625
It was great.
1105
01:20:59,416 --> 01:21:00,750
I met a friend today.
1106
01:21:03,083 --> 01:21:04,666
Was it a former colleague?
1107
01:21:07,875 --> 01:21:10,125
Someone I met when I was hospitalized.
1108
01:21:17,833 --> 01:21:18,708
Mama?
1109
01:21:22,500 --> 01:21:23,500
Don't worry.
1110
01:21:24,125 --> 01:21:25,000
I'm fine.
1111
01:21:26,875 --> 01:21:28,583
I just want some peace and quiet.
1112
01:21:37,875 --> 01:21:39,083
[clicks tongue, inhales]
1113
01:21:39,666 --> 01:21:41,375
Is this biscuit box shorter?
1114
01:21:42,208 --> 01:21:44,041
I remember it used to be this long.
1115
01:21:46,166 --> 01:21:49,875
-I think it has really gotten shorter.
-Uh, it's always been that size.
1116
01:21:51,875 --> 01:21:53,625
I just bought one last week.
1117
01:21:56,125 --> 01:21:57,541
I really think it's smaller.
1118
01:21:58,041 --> 01:21:59,666
But the price is still the same.
1119
01:22:00,166 --> 01:22:03,083
[clicks tongue] Please step aside.
We can figure it out later.
1120
01:22:03,166 --> 01:22:04,833
I'll ring up the other customers.
1121
01:22:05,416 --> 01:22:07,000
Oh, never mind, then.
1122
01:22:07,083 --> 01:22:08,666
It's fine even if it's smaller.
1123
01:22:10,125 --> 01:22:11,041
[grunts]
1124
01:22:20,916 --> 01:22:22,416
I won't buy it anymore.
1125
01:22:24,375 --> 01:22:27,916
Businessmen nowadays
just cut down on materials,
1126
01:22:28,000 --> 01:22:30,166
and they keep the price the same. Ow!
1127
01:22:34,291 --> 01:22:35,333
Ow.
1128
01:22:36,333 --> 01:22:38,791
Can't you see
that there's a long line behind you?
1129
01:22:39,916 --> 01:22:41,875
Damn you, why are you hitting people?
1130
01:22:42,666 --> 01:22:43,583
Old man,
1131
01:22:44,416 --> 01:22:46,833
I'm tired of watching
you act like a child.
1132
01:22:48,625 --> 01:22:49,666
Are you crazy?
1133
01:22:50,708 --> 01:22:53,333
You're the one who's crazy.
Watch what you're saying!
1134
01:22:53,416 --> 01:22:56,291
-All right, stop fighting.
-You even have a sidekick, huh?
1135
01:22:56,833 --> 01:22:57,666
I-- [grunts]
1136
01:22:58,666 --> 01:22:59,708
Don't stop me!
1137
01:23:00,208 --> 01:23:01,958
-I'll kick you.
-That's $80.
1138
01:23:02,041 --> 01:23:03,375
I'll kick you.
1139
01:23:04,333 --> 01:23:06,250
I'll kick you. You're running away?
1140
01:23:07,375 --> 01:23:09,625
Where are you going? Hey! Don't stop me.
1141
01:23:09,708 --> 01:23:10,625
Get back here!
1142
01:23:11,208 --> 01:23:12,416
You better run!
1143
01:23:12,500 --> 01:23:13,500
Watch your back!
1144
01:23:16,833 --> 01:23:17,791
[Jing] Ma?
1145
01:23:18,583 --> 01:23:20,666
Did you take your medicine this morning?
1146
01:23:21,458 --> 01:23:22,500
[Luo] I did.
1147
01:23:23,250 --> 01:23:24,291
What's the matter?
1148
01:23:25,875 --> 01:23:26,708
Nothing.
1149
01:23:27,583 --> 01:23:29,750
I just really like how you were just now.
1150
01:23:31,833 --> 01:23:34,333
When I'd meet slowpokes like that before,
1151
01:23:36,083 --> 01:23:38,375
I'd always hold it in
while waiting in line.
1152
01:23:39,125 --> 01:23:41,083
I don't want to put up with it anymore.
1153
01:23:46,041 --> 01:23:47,125
[door opens]
1154
01:23:49,291 --> 01:23:50,333
[keys jingle]

[birds chirping]
1158
01:24:11,166 --> 01:24:12,125
[Jing] Mama?
1159
01:24:15,333 --> 01:24:16,791
They finally removed it.
1160
01:24:22,875 --> 01:24:24,458
[Luo] Over ten years ago,
1161
01:24:25,666 --> 01:24:28,250
when I came here
with your dad for the first time,
1162
01:24:29,500 --> 01:24:31,583
sunlight flowed in this way as well.
1163
01:24:35,375 --> 01:24:37,875
Let's find a real estate company
in a few days
1164
01:24:38,541 --> 01:24:40,708
and see how much
we can sell this place for.
1165
01:24:46,333 --> 01:24:47,791
Try not to think too much.
1166
01:24:49,166 --> 01:24:52,500
I'll go to a real estate company tomorrow.
Just focus on working.
1167
01:25:02,666 --> 01:25:05,666
-Oh, Manager Chen, I'll do it.
-Oh, it's fine. It's fine.
1168
01:25:06,291 --> 01:25:08,000
I just like to move things around.
1169
01:25:14,041 --> 01:25:15,750
You've been here for two weeks.
1170
01:25:16,500 --> 01:25:18,000
How have you been doing?
1171
01:25:18,083 --> 01:25:19,541
[Luo] I'm doing great.
1172
01:25:19,625 --> 01:25:20,833
Thank you, Manager Chen.
1173
01:25:24,000 --> 01:25:26,416
During your break time,
you can chat with coworkers.
1174
01:25:26,500 --> 01:25:28,291
You know, when you're working here,
1175
01:25:29,041 --> 01:25:34,166
it's very important to build relationships
with your colleagues so work is easier.
1176
01:25:35,458 --> 01:25:37,041
I don't know any of them.
1177
01:25:38,000 --> 01:25:39,416
I'm not sure I'd know what to say.
1178
01:25:41,083 --> 01:25:43,208
Well, you gotta talk to them first, right?
1179
01:25:44,833 --> 01:25:47,541
Being more proactive
won't put you at a disadvantage.
1180
01:25:54,541 --> 01:25:55,583
Pin-Wen.
1181
01:25:57,750 --> 01:25:58,750
Pin-Wen.
1182
01:25:59,416 --> 01:26:00,333
What is it?
1183
01:26:03,666 --> 01:26:04,750
Are you free
1184
01:26:05,625 --> 01:26:06,541
this Saturday?
1185
01:26:08,083 --> 01:26:10,000
Anything I can do to help you?
1186
01:26:17,250 --> 01:26:18,791
I was just wondering
1187
01:26:20,333 --> 01:26:23,833
if I may have the pleasure
of taking you to dinner.
1188
01:26:34,333 --> 01:26:36,791
[Jing] I already went
to the real estate company.
1189
01:26:36,875 --> 01:26:38,583
They've come to see our place.
1190
01:26:40,250 --> 01:26:41,875
But the market isn't very good.
1191
01:26:42,416 --> 01:26:45,666
The value of the place
may only be $32 million.
1192
01:26:47,333 --> 01:26:49,541
After commission and taxes,
1193
01:26:49,625 --> 01:26:51,625
around 30 million will be left.
1194
01:26:53,416 --> 01:26:54,916
No, that's so low.
1195
01:26:56,458 --> 01:27:00,750
I remember that your dad
bought this place for $45 million.
1196
01:27:03,333 --> 01:27:05,583
Ma, I've calculated it.
1197
01:27:06,833 --> 01:27:08,958
Even if we only get $30 million,
1198
01:27:09,458 --> 01:27:11,958
after paying the $16 million loan,
1199
01:27:12,041 --> 01:27:13,625
we'll still have 14 million.
1200
01:27:14,541 --> 01:27:16,833
If we can get the money deposited soon,
1201
01:27:17,375 --> 01:27:18,916
with the interest we'll get,
1202
01:27:20,708 --> 01:27:22,791
add that to your current salary,
1203
01:27:22,875 --> 01:27:26,208
then we'll have
almost $40,000 income per month.
1204
01:27:28,250 --> 01:27:30,000
Let's rent a cheaper place.
1205
01:27:30,958 --> 01:27:33,000
Even if the rent is $15,000,
1206
01:27:34,000 --> 01:27:35,833
we'll have 25,000 to live on.
1207
01:27:39,291 --> 01:27:41,666
I think you'd better check
with another company.
1208
01:27:43,500 --> 01:27:44,833
That price is no good.
1209
01:27:48,666 --> 01:27:50,250
Don't worry, Mom.
1210
01:27:50,333 --> 01:27:52,458
The real estate agent is really nice.
1211
01:27:53,916 --> 01:27:57,250
He even promised
to help us find a place to rent
1212
01:27:58,000 --> 01:27:59,458
after we sell this place.
1213
01:28:02,083 --> 01:28:02,958
Okay.
1214
01:28:29,291 --> 01:28:33,291
I'm glad both the buyer and seller
attended this contract signing session.
1215
01:28:33,375 --> 01:28:35,666
The property price is $32 million.
1216
01:28:35,750 --> 01:28:39,125
Now, after deducting the fees,
commission, and applicable taxes,
1217
01:28:39,208 --> 01:28:41,708
the buyer will receive 30.6 million.
1218
01:28:41,791 --> 01:28:44,458
And since the said property
caught fire before,
1219
01:28:44,541 --> 01:28:48,416
the owner is willing to compensate you
by selling the place furnished.
1220
01:28:48,500 --> 01:28:50,125
Is everyone fine with that?
1221
01:28:51,083 --> 01:28:53,041
-Okay, good.
-[door bell jingles]
1222
01:28:53,125 --> 01:28:54,541
-Oh, hello, everyone.
-Mr. Zhao.
1223
01:28:55,583 --> 01:28:57,750
Everyone, this is our manager, Mr. Zhao.
1224
01:28:57,833 --> 01:29:02,000
Hello, everyone. Have a seat. Have a seat.
Sit down, everyone. [chuckles]
1225
01:29:02,083 --> 01:29:04,375
Gosh, this is such a great day.
1226
01:29:04,458 --> 01:29:07,166
I believe that you've all
made a wonderful decision.
1227
01:29:08,083 --> 01:29:12,458
Hey, sir, ma'am, may I ask if you're
buying this property for yourselves?
1228
01:29:12,541 --> 01:29:14,166
[woman] No, it's for our child.
1229
01:29:14,250 --> 01:29:16,125
Oh, how wonderful, then.
1230
01:29:16,208 --> 01:29:17,625
[chuckles]
1231
01:29:17,708 --> 01:29:18,833
-Xiao Yang.
-Yes?
1232
01:29:18,916 --> 01:29:22,375
-[Zhao] Where is the property located?
-Uh, at the corner of Alley #9.
1233
01:29:22,458 --> 01:29:26,750
Uh, the building covered with a blue tarp
that was undergoing renovation before.
1234
01:29:26,833 --> 01:29:29,833
Oh! I got it.
That's a great place in the neighborhood.
1235
01:29:29,916 --> 01:29:32,833
You're in luck. Wow!
Now that it's renovated,
1236
01:29:32,916 --> 01:29:34,250
it's even better now.
1237
01:29:34,333 --> 01:29:36,208
[chuckles]
1238
01:29:37,208 --> 01:29:40,916
Uh, sorry, sorry. Sorry to disturb you.
Go on. Continue, okay.
1239
01:29:41,000 --> 01:29:42,750
I just came to say hi
1240
01:29:42,833 --> 01:29:45,708
and also to be here
to share your happiness, all right?
1241
01:29:45,791 --> 01:29:47,666
-[chuckles]
-Good. Just a moment.
1242
01:29:47,750 --> 01:29:50,000
-You can sign it in a bit. Give it to him.
-Okay.
1243
01:29:50,083 --> 01:29:51,375
-Congratulations.
-Thank you.
1244
01:29:51,458 --> 01:29:53,541
All right, Ms. Luo,
you can stamp over there.
1245
01:29:58,375 --> 01:30:00,041
[tuts] Uh…
1246
01:30:00,125 --> 01:30:03,125
If you wouldn't mind,
can I call you Mr. and Mrs. Chen?
1247
01:30:03,208 --> 01:30:05,458
-[Mr. Chen] We don't mind.
-[chuckles] Mr. Chen.
1248
01:30:06,083 --> 01:30:09,291
You bought this 165-square-meter unit
for $32 million.
1249
01:30:10,000 --> 01:30:11,833
That means… Goodness.
1250
01:30:11,916 --> 01:30:13,333
That's a real bargain.
1251
01:30:14,333 --> 01:30:17,458
Last year, the fifth floor unit
in the same building
1252
01:30:17,541 --> 01:30:19,541
sold for 920 per square meter.
1253
01:30:20,875 --> 01:30:22,833
Do you know why I remember that?
1254
01:30:22,916 --> 01:30:25,166
Because, you see,
I was the one who sold it.
1255
01:30:25,250 --> 01:30:28,916
[laughs]
1256
01:30:29,625 --> 01:30:31,166
Mr. and Mrs. Chen,
1257
01:30:31,250 --> 01:30:34,250
you've seen many properties
during this period of time.
1258
01:30:35,541 --> 01:30:39,458
Do you think $32 million is reasonable?
1259
01:30:41,625 --> 01:30:42,625
Mm?
1260
01:30:47,208 --> 01:30:48,125
Huh?
1261
01:30:49,666 --> 01:30:50,875
-Xiao Yang.
-Yes?
1262
01:30:51,666 --> 01:30:52,791
[Zhao] Is it reasonable?
1263
01:30:52,875 --> 01:30:56,458
Uh, well, since the property
caught fire before,
1264
01:30:56,541 --> 01:30:59,041
then I believe its value
would go down because of that.
1265
01:30:59,125 --> 01:31:02,250
-Was anyone hurt from the fire?
-Well, um, I think…
1266
01:31:03,250 --> 01:31:04,458
-Well--
-We're both fine.
1267
01:31:15,166 --> 01:31:16,041
[whimpers softly]
1268
01:31:18,750 --> 01:31:24,375
May I ask if you two compared the price
with other real estate companies?
1269
01:31:28,958 --> 01:31:29,791
No.
1270
01:31:33,500 --> 01:31:34,708
Young lady,
1271
01:31:35,458 --> 01:31:37,875
if you sold this property for $32 million,
1272
01:31:37,958 --> 01:31:40,958
even if I had to borrow from a loan shark
1273
01:31:41,041 --> 01:31:42,541
and put my life at risk,
1274
01:31:43,125 --> 01:31:45,041
I'd still find a way to buy the place.
1275
01:31:48,541 --> 01:31:49,625
I'm sorry, ma'am.
1276
01:31:49,708 --> 01:31:51,041
If you're not greedy,
1277
01:31:51,750 --> 01:31:53,208
please, trust me,
1278
01:31:53,291 --> 01:31:56,250
I can find a way better buyer
to help you sell the place
1279
01:31:56,333 --> 01:31:58,708
at $42 million within this week.
1280
01:32:05,375 --> 01:32:07,916
Xiao Yang, how much did they pay you?
1281
01:32:10,458 --> 01:32:11,625
Five hundred thousand?
1282
01:32:13,750 --> 01:32:14,958
Or one million?
1283
01:32:16,250 --> 01:32:18,250
[insects chirping]
1284
01:32:19,250 --> 01:32:21,333
[Qi-Wen] Why did you ask to meet me today?
1285
01:32:22,083 --> 01:32:24,625
-[gentle piano music plays]
-[Jing] We're moving.
1286
01:32:26,208 --> 01:32:28,791
[Qi-Wen] Why?
Aren't you living comfortably there?
1287
01:32:29,916 --> 01:32:31,375
[Jing] Mom left her company.
1288
01:32:32,625 --> 01:32:34,833
We really can't afford
the mortgage anymore.
1289
01:32:37,666 --> 01:32:40,875
[Qi-Wen] Why didn't you come to me
if you're having difficulties?
1290
01:32:42,708 --> 01:32:45,416
[Jing] Actually, we were wanting
to sell the place quickly
1291
01:32:45,916 --> 01:32:48,083
because we don't want
to live there anymore.
1292
01:32:50,375 --> 01:32:52,916
It's filled to the brim
with all these memories.
1293
01:32:53,916 --> 01:32:56,666
Do you still remember
the time when I called you?
1294
01:32:56,750 --> 01:32:58,208
It was in front of Mom.
1295
01:32:58,291 --> 01:32:59,958
I asked you if you'd come back.
1296
01:33:01,625 --> 01:33:02,625
[Qi-Wen] I'm sorry.
1297
01:33:03,208 --> 01:33:05,875
Back then, I was just too busy.
1298
01:33:05,958 --> 01:33:07,416
I forgot to call you back.
1299
01:33:07,500 --> 01:33:08,708
What exactly happened?
1300
01:33:10,125 --> 01:33:12,250
[Jing] Since Mom got sick, she…
1301
01:33:12,333 --> 01:33:14,416
She always believed that you'd come back.
1302
01:33:15,458 --> 01:33:18,541
No matter what I say,
I couldn't convince her otherwise.
1303
01:33:20,333 --> 01:33:22,500
But I know that you don't belong with her,
1304
01:33:23,500 --> 01:33:24,791
or with me either.
1305
01:33:32,583 --> 01:33:34,791
[Qi-Wen] Are you still
mad at me about Frank?
1306
01:33:37,125 --> 01:33:42,791
Adult problems are more complicated
and frustrating than you can imagine.
1307
01:33:47,750 --> 01:33:51,500
Dad, can you please stop
trying to give me these pitiful excuses?
1308
01:33:53,375 --> 01:33:55,916
Why should I suffer
because of your lousy marriage?
1309
01:33:56,416 --> 01:33:59,125
Why should I deal with
a mom I don't even know?
1310
01:33:59,875 --> 01:34:02,500
Why should I accept a brother
I didn't even know about?
1311
01:34:02,583 --> 01:34:05,625
Why should I have to
put up with your lies? Why? Why me?
1312
01:34:13,291 --> 01:34:14,916
What do you want me to do, then?
1313
01:34:21,708 --> 01:34:23,041
In a few days,
1314
01:34:23,625 --> 01:34:24,750
we'll be moving out.
1315
01:34:27,208 --> 01:34:28,916
I'll leave all your stuff there.
1316
01:34:30,958 --> 01:34:32,916
Find some time to pick it up yourself.
1317
01:34:39,625 --> 01:34:40,708
And, Dad…
1318
01:34:44,416 --> 01:34:45,875
take good care of yourself.
1319
01:35:09,125 --> 01:35:10,625
I'm looking for Luo Pin-Wen.
1320
01:35:12,583 --> 01:35:13,833
Please come in.
1321
01:35:13,916 --> 01:35:16,208
There's no need. I'll just wait outside.
1322
01:35:16,750 --> 01:35:18,583
Um, no, it's okay, it's okay.
1323
01:35:18,666 --> 01:35:19,541
Please come in.
1324
01:35:22,208 --> 01:35:23,208
Ma?
1325
01:35:24,583 --> 01:35:25,958
-Ma?
-Yes?
1326
01:35:27,125 --> 01:35:29,416
-[Jing] Your friend is here.
-Okay.
1327
01:35:30,958 --> 01:35:33,750
You've got a very unique taste.
So that's your type?
1328
01:35:33,833 --> 01:35:36,708
Tsk. Don't speak nonsense, child.
1329
01:35:37,291 --> 01:35:39,333
He's only inviting me for dinner.
1330
01:35:39,416 --> 01:35:42,208
That's not true. He's totally weird.
1331
01:35:42,291 --> 01:35:45,541
He's wearing a suit
with all his hair slicked back,
1332
01:35:45,625 --> 01:35:47,208
holding a bouquet of flowers.
1333
01:35:47,291 --> 01:35:49,000
He wants to come in, but he won't.
1334
01:35:50,458 --> 01:35:52,041
Can you take care of yourself?
1335
01:35:53,375 --> 01:35:54,333
Yes, I can.
1336
01:35:56,500 --> 01:35:58,833
Then, call me if you need anything, okay?
1337
01:35:59,625 --> 01:36:00,583
Okay.
1338
01:36:02,041 --> 01:36:02,875
Um…
1339
01:36:09,791 --> 01:36:11,750
Pin-Wen, these are for you.
1340
01:36:20,125 --> 01:36:21,541
Okay, then.
1341
01:36:21,625 --> 01:36:22,458
We'll get going.
1342
01:36:22,541 --> 01:36:23,916
-Take care.
-Okay.
1343
01:36:30,041 --> 01:36:32,041
[pleasant piano music plays]
1344
01:36:34,500 --> 01:36:37,375
[Chen] This steak house
was my wife's favorite restaurant.
1345
01:36:38,250 --> 01:36:40,416
I used to bring her here once a month.
1346
01:36:41,250 --> 01:36:43,458
It's because of the ambiance
and music here.
1347
01:36:44,416 --> 01:36:47,166
The owner invested a lot of money
in the sound system.
1348
01:36:48,041 --> 01:36:50,666
This sound quality,
you can't hear anywhere else.
1349
01:36:52,875 --> 01:36:54,000
Where's your wife?
1350
01:36:56,666 --> 01:36:57,833
Just like your husband,
1351
01:36:58,541 --> 01:36:59,833
she passed away already.
1352
01:37:01,458 --> 01:37:03,208
She's just been gone a lot longer.
1353
01:37:03,291 --> 01:37:04,375
Fifteen years.
1354
01:37:06,666 --> 01:37:07,958
What about your children?
1355
01:37:09,458 --> 01:37:10,875
We don't have any children.
1356
01:37:13,208 --> 01:37:15,208
She was hospitalized for a long time.
1357
01:37:16,125 --> 01:37:17,500
So I took care of her.
1358
01:37:26,958 --> 01:37:28,791
Was that your daughter earlier?
1359
01:37:28,875 --> 01:37:30,416
Mm-hmm, she's Xiao Jing.
1360
01:37:32,250 --> 01:37:34,958
She seems like quite a sensible child.
1361
01:37:36,583 --> 01:37:37,708
She's all right.
1362
01:37:40,875 --> 01:37:43,916
Did her dad's death change her a lot?
1363
01:37:50,000 --> 01:37:50,958
I'm sorry.
1364
01:37:53,958 --> 01:37:57,333
No, I should be sorry.
I shouldn't pry about your family.
1365
01:37:59,250 --> 01:38:01,250
I'm the one who should apologize to you.
1366
01:38:02,708 --> 01:38:04,250
I shouldn't have lied.
1367
01:38:07,666 --> 01:38:09,333
My husband didn't pass away.
1368
01:38:10,000 --> 01:38:12,458
We're divorced. It's been three years.
1369
01:38:15,000 --> 01:38:17,458
Actually, I worked
at a multinational company
1370
01:38:18,291 --> 01:38:19,750
for over a decade.
1371
01:38:21,333 --> 01:38:22,500
I got fired
1372
01:38:23,875 --> 01:38:24,791
a while ago.
1373
01:38:27,583 --> 01:38:28,875
And for what reason?
1374
01:38:32,458 --> 01:38:33,708
I guess, because…
1375
01:38:36,458 --> 01:38:37,958
just a few months ago,
1376
01:38:39,208 --> 01:38:41,333
I was diagnosed with psychosis.
1377
01:38:49,000 --> 01:38:50,458
Have you recovered now?
1378
01:38:51,583 --> 01:38:54,833
I'm relying on…
I've been taking medication to control it.
1379
01:38:57,583 --> 01:39:00,708
So what happened to your hand
is also related to your illness?
1380
01:39:03,166 --> 01:39:04,458
I don't mean to pry.
1381
01:39:05,416 --> 01:39:06,875
I couldn't help but notice
1382
01:39:08,000 --> 01:39:11,375
the wrist brace you wore
the first day you came in to apply.
1383
01:39:11,916 --> 01:39:14,208
[knife tapping]
1384
01:39:14,291 --> 01:39:16,291
[dish rattling]
1385
01:39:33,875 --> 01:39:35,416
I hurt my hand
1386
01:39:35,500 --> 01:39:36,958
when I was sick before…
1387
01:39:40,333 --> 01:39:42,583
because I wanted to make dinner
for my daughter.
1388
01:39:43,333 --> 01:39:45,750
The fire was too big,
and the pot caught fire.
1389
01:39:47,291 --> 01:39:48,875
I almost burned down the place.
1390
01:39:54,916 --> 01:39:56,291
What about your ex-husband?
1391
01:39:57,250 --> 01:39:58,666
Didn't you ask him for help?
1392
01:40:01,208 --> 01:40:02,416
He's already married.
1393
01:40:04,208 --> 01:40:05,333
He has a kid.
1394
01:40:12,416 --> 01:40:13,291
Manager Chen,
1395
01:40:14,125 --> 01:40:16,208
I wanted this job too much before.
1396
01:40:16,291 --> 01:40:17,625
That was why I lied.
1397
01:40:18,875 --> 01:40:22,041
If you can't accept this,
I can stop going to work next week.
1398
01:40:23,291 --> 01:40:25,208
[chuckles softly] It's fine.
1399
01:40:26,500 --> 01:40:28,333
Everyone has a painful past.
1400
01:40:29,583 --> 01:40:31,458
It just depends on how painful it is.
1401
01:40:33,958 --> 01:40:35,041
Also,
1402
01:40:35,916 --> 01:40:38,833
no one knows what the future will bring.
1403
01:40:39,958 --> 01:40:41,958
[brushing sound]
1404
01:40:47,375 --> 01:40:49,625
[rinsing]
1405
01:40:49,708 --> 01:40:50,541
[spits]
1406
01:41:13,416 --> 01:41:14,250
Mama?
1407
01:41:15,958 --> 01:41:17,625
Why are you up so early?
1408
01:41:17,708 --> 01:41:19,083
[Luo] Shh.
1409
01:41:19,166 --> 01:41:20,500
Lower your voice.
1410
01:41:23,041 --> 01:41:24,000
What's the matter?
1411
01:41:25,500 --> 01:41:27,416
There's a snake behind the television.
1412
01:41:29,791 --> 01:41:30,916
A snake?
1413
01:41:32,541 --> 01:41:34,125
I couldn't sleep last night,
1414
01:41:34,750 --> 01:41:37,625
so I came to sit here
and opened the glass doors.
1415
01:41:38,500 --> 01:41:40,000
Then a snake came inside.
1416
01:41:41,916 --> 01:41:43,916
So you've been sitting here since then?
1417
01:41:46,000 --> 01:41:46,875
That's right.
1418
01:41:48,083 --> 01:41:50,250
I was worried.
What if it went to your room?
1419
01:41:52,000 --> 01:41:53,458
Why didn't you wake me?
1420
01:41:54,833 --> 01:41:55,833
It's a snake.
1421
01:41:57,625 --> 01:41:59,125
I can't let you deal with it.
1422
01:42:03,333 --> 01:42:04,250
Hey.
1423
01:42:05,875 --> 01:42:07,083
Don't go over there.
1424
01:42:07,791 --> 01:42:09,125
It's very dangerous.
1425
01:42:12,625 --> 01:42:14,250
Then, what should we do?
1426
01:42:17,166 --> 01:42:18,791
Call the fire department.
1427
01:42:20,083 --> 01:42:21,916
Try not to disturb the neighbors.
1428
01:42:24,416 --> 01:42:26,416
[siren wailing]
1429
01:42:32,291 --> 01:42:33,666
[air horn honking]
1430
01:42:46,291 --> 01:42:47,541
[manager] What is it now?
1431
01:42:49,208 --> 01:42:51,250
First, a fire. Now, there's a snake.
1432
01:42:52,083 --> 01:42:54,625
The fire department's
been here twice in a month.
1433
01:42:54,708 --> 01:42:56,041
How can we live this way?
1434
01:42:57,041 --> 01:42:59,583
The snake came in here itself.
It's not our fault.
1435
01:43:00,125 --> 01:43:01,708
Why'd you come up here, anyway?
1436
01:43:03,000 --> 01:43:06,250
Xiao Jing, I'm here
on behalf of all the residents.
1437
01:43:06,750 --> 01:43:08,125
They can't take it anymore.
1438
01:43:08,625 --> 01:43:10,541
Besides, how can a snake get in here?
1439
01:43:17,625 --> 01:43:18,458
Sir.
1440
01:43:18,958 --> 01:43:20,125
-Oh.
-I see it.
1441
01:43:49,333 --> 01:43:50,208
Huh.
1442
01:43:53,750 --> 01:43:55,958
Did you use scaffoldings
for renovation work?
1443
01:43:56,916 --> 01:43:58,791
Yes, for the work done outside.
1444
01:44:00,000 --> 01:44:02,125
It climbed up through the scaffolding.
1445
01:44:02,208 --> 01:44:03,583
It's been here a while.
1446
01:44:03,666 --> 01:44:05,250
The scaffolding are gone.
1447
01:44:05,333 --> 01:44:06,625
It can only go indoors.
1448
01:44:08,208 --> 01:44:09,375
Thank you.
1449
01:44:09,958 --> 01:44:10,958
Uh, excuse me.
1450
01:44:11,041 --> 01:44:13,041
Do you think
these snakes would come up again
1451
01:44:13,125 --> 01:44:14,375
and hide in the building?
1452
01:44:15,250 --> 01:44:16,833
Basically, they shouldn't.
1453
01:44:16,916 --> 01:44:18,416
Call us if this happens again.
1454
01:44:18,500 --> 01:44:19,500
Okay.
1455
01:44:25,625 --> 01:44:27,083
I told you there was a snake.
1456
01:44:35,250 --> 01:44:36,625
[car horn honking]
1457
01:44:36,708 --> 01:44:39,416
-I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
-[man] How long is this going to take?
1458
01:44:39,500 --> 01:44:41,416
-We're moving some stuff.
-You own the street?
1459
01:44:41,500 --> 01:44:42,666
No, we're just moving.
1460
01:44:42,750 --> 01:44:45,083
Man, are you still blocking the road?
1461
01:44:45,166 --> 01:44:47,083
We're moving. No, it'll just be a minute.
1462
01:44:47,166 --> 01:44:50,083
Get out of my way!
How am I supposed to get to work?
1463
01:44:50,166 --> 01:44:52,708
It'll just be a minute.
It shouldn't take much longer.
1464
01:44:52,791 --> 01:44:55,166
-Get going, the hour's late.
-I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.
1465
01:44:55,250 --> 01:44:57,000
Hey. What do you want to do, then?
1466
01:44:57,083 --> 01:44:59,750
We're just moving.
It'll only take 20 minutes.
1467
01:44:59,833 --> 01:45:02,333
And in 20 minutes, I'll be late for work.
1468
01:45:02,416 --> 01:45:05,583
-Can't you back out of the street?
-Why should I do that?
1469
01:45:05,666 --> 01:45:08,333
So what do you want, then?
Can't you back out of the street?
1470
01:45:08,416 --> 01:45:10,416
-Who acts this way?
-Did you pass your driver's exam?
1471
01:45:10,500 --> 01:45:11,875
They teach you how to back up?
1472
01:45:11,958 --> 01:45:14,291
Oh, be careful. Easy, now. Slowly, please.
1473
01:45:14,375 --> 01:45:17,500
Be careful, okay?
That's a bit heavy. Come up. Okay.
1474
01:45:17,583 --> 01:45:19,250
Up there. Careful. Come on, now.
1475
01:45:19,333 --> 01:45:22,041
Watch out. Almost there.
Okay, come on. Come up.
1476
01:45:22,125 --> 01:45:25,291
Be careful. That's it,
yes, come on, come on.
1477
01:45:25,375 --> 01:45:28,208
All right. Whoo. Yeah.
1478
01:45:29,250 --> 01:45:31,291
Let me help you. Hold on. Okay.
1479
01:45:31,375 --> 01:45:34,291
Over here. Here, you can…
Uh, a bit higher.
1480
01:45:35,208 --> 01:45:37,750
Okay. Over to that side a bit.
1481
01:45:37,833 --> 01:45:40,541
Okay. You're almost there.
Easy, now. Come on.
1482
01:45:41,541 --> 01:45:44,166
So tell me, is there anything else
I can help you with?
1483
01:45:44,875 --> 01:45:47,291
Manager Chen,
I'm really embarrassed about today.
1484
01:45:47,375 --> 01:45:48,583
If you didn't help us,
1485
01:45:48,666 --> 01:45:50,958
Xiao Jing and I
wouldn't be able to manage.
1486
01:45:51,041 --> 01:45:52,791
No worries. It's what I should do.
1487
01:45:57,375 --> 01:45:58,958
You've been busy the whole day.
1488
01:45:59,041 --> 01:46:00,666
You should get some rest.
1489
01:46:02,625 --> 01:46:04,625
Xiao Jing, I'll go ahead.
1490
01:46:05,500 --> 01:46:06,708
-[Luo] Thank you, Chen.
-Bye.
1491
01:46:11,750 --> 01:46:14,666
"Miss Luo, is there anything else
I can help you with?"
1492
01:46:16,625 --> 01:46:19,291
"Manager Chen,
thank you for your help today."
1493
01:46:19,375 --> 01:46:22,541
"If you didn't help us,
we wouldn't be able to manage."
1494
01:46:23,833 --> 01:46:25,666
"No worries. It's what I should do."
1495
01:46:26,208 --> 01:46:27,708
"You've been busy the whole…"
1496
01:46:28,666 --> 01:46:30,083
Hey, Pin-Wen.
1497
01:46:30,166 --> 01:46:32,958
I think you should
rest today and even tomorrow.
1498
01:46:33,666 --> 01:46:35,791
-It's fine, I--
-I'll file a leave for you tomorrow.
1499
01:46:35,875 --> 01:46:39,083
-I can go to work tomorrow, it's fine.
-You should rest at home.
1500
01:46:41,666 --> 01:46:43,083
I'll just call you tomorrow
1501
01:46:43,833 --> 01:46:45,500
to see what else I can help with.
1502
01:46:45,583 --> 01:46:46,750
Okay?
1503
01:46:46,833 --> 01:46:48,291
-Thank you, Chen.
-No worries.
1504
01:46:48,375 --> 01:46:50,833
-And I'll close the door for you.
-Uh, okay. Okay.
1505
01:46:52,375 --> 01:46:53,291
Thank you.
1506
01:46:57,208 --> 01:46:58,125
[Jing] Mama?
1507
01:46:58,833 --> 01:47:01,083
I really think Manager Chen
1508
01:47:01,166 --> 01:47:02,500
is serious about you.
1509
01:47:04,833 --> 01:47:06,416
Don't speak nonsense again.
1510
01:47:07,375 --> 01:47:08,250
It's true.
1511
01:47:09,666 --> 01:47:10,833
He's quite nice.
1512
01:47:11,750 --> 01:47:13,250
He looks interesting too.
1513
01:47:14,958 --> 01:47:16,916
I thought I told you to keep quiet.
1514
01:47:19,750 --> 01:47:21,458
Wait, did you call your dad?
1515
01:47:22,708 --> 01:47:23,625
I did.
1516
01:47:24,750 --> 01:47:27,250
Did he say anything
when you told him we're moving?
1517
01:47:31,333 --> 01:47:33,791
Don't care whether
he said anything or not.
1518
01:47:34,583 --> 01:47:36,208
He wants nothing to do with us.
1519
01:47:40,125 --> 01:47:41,500
Why are you saying that?
1520
01:47:42,041 --> 01:47:43,791
He's your dad, after all.
1521
01:47:46,000 --> 01:47:48,333
He was just the man
who provided the sperm.
1522
01:47:50,791 --> 01:47:52,833
Where did you learn to speak so nastily?
1523
01:47:56,458 --> 01:47:57,875
I learned it from you.
1524
01:47:59,416 --> 01:48:00,583
When I was little,
1525
01:48:00,666 --> 01:48:03,666
you and Dad fought really badly
for a long time.
1526
01:48:04,708 --> 01:48:07,000
You even said that he's irresponsible,
1527
01:48:08,166 --> 01:48:10,500
and he was just the man
who provided the sperm.
1528
01:48:15,000 --> 01:48:16,166
Do you still remember?
1529
01:48:16,791 --> 01:48:18,916
I think I was in grade two at that time.
1530
01:48:19,000 --> 01:48:20,375
[tense music plays]
1531
01:48:20,458 --> 01:48:22,708
When you and Dad fought again,
1532
01:48:24,166 --> 01:48:25,875
Dad brought me out saying
1533
01:48:27,166 --> 01:48:29,291
that we're going to the amusement park.
1534
01:48:29,375 --> 01:48:31,625
But it was already 4:00 p.m.
when we arrived.
1535
01:48:32,250 --> 01:48:33,708
The park was about to close.
1536
01:48:36,000 --> 01:48:37,625
Only then did we find out
1537
01:48:38,250 --> 01:48:40,750
that the amusement park
closes at 5:00 p.m.
1538
01:48:44,166 --> 01:48:46,250
I remember Dad not talking much that day.
1539
01:48:46,833 --> 01:48:49,500
[voice fading] We didn't
even know where to go at all.
1540
01:48:49,583 --> 01:48:52,708
-[music grows louder]
-We wandered outside for so long.
1541
01:48:54,291 --> 01:48:55,916
We ate at McDonald's
1542
01:48:56,000 --> 01:48:57,291
and bought a teddy bear.
1543
01:48:59,041 --> 01:49:01,541
-[indistinct rumbling]
-[imperceptible]
1544
01:49:03,541 --> 01:49:05,250
[faintly] It was almost 10:00 p.m.
1545
01:49:06,000 --> 01:49:09,750
[indistinct rumbling, whooshing]
1546
01:49:09,833 --> 01:49:11,375
-[water flowing faintly]
-Mama?
1547
01:49:18,250 --> 01:49:20,166
I just realized what that sound is.
1548
01:49:22,750 --> 01:49:24,000
What sound?
1549
01:49:26,250 --> 01:49:28,166
The sound I hear in my ears.
1550
01:49:28,875 --> 01:49:30,083
Roaring.
1551
01:49:32,333 --> 01:49:34,166
Every time I hear that sound,
1552
01:49:35,416 --> 01:49:38,291
it's like a very noisy machine
got into my ears.
1553
01:49:39,791 --> 01:49:41,708
Sometimes, it fades away by itself.
1554
01:49:44,416 --> 01:49:46,541
But many times, the sound continues.
1555
01:49:49,583 --> 01:49:51,333
And it makes me feel so irritated.
1556
01:49:52,166 --> 01:49:53,708
I want to throw things around…
1557
01:49:55,583 --> 01:49:57,250
or maybe hurt myself.
1558
01:49:59,708 --> 01:50:01,166
It wasn't until earlier…
1559
01:50:06,166 --> 01:50:08,125
that I figured out what it was.
1560
01:50:12,458 --> 01:50:13,500
What is it, Ma?
1561
01:50:17,000 --> 01:50:18,375
The sound of waterfalls.
1562
01:50:21,125 --> 01:50:22,250
Waterfalls?
1563
01:50:29,416 --> 01:50:31,708
When you were talking
about your dad just now…
1564
01:50:34,333 --> 01:50:35,541
that sound came back.
1565
01:50:38,000 --> 01:50:39,333
I told myself…
1566
01:50:41,333 --> 01:50:43,208
this time, I must get away from it.
1567
01:50:46,375 --> 01:50:47,833
I want to do that…
1568
01:50:51,791 --> 01:50:53,375
but I can't ever seem to do it.
1569
01:51:00,541 --> 01:51:01,791
Surprisingly…
1570
01:51:05,500 --> 01:51:06,875
that roaring sound…
1571
01:51:08,958 --> 01:51:10,291
suddenly went away.
1572
01:51:15,333 --> 01:51:17,875
I started hearing
the sound of rivers and streams.
1573
01:51:22,125 --> 01:51:24,875
I thought that the roaring sound
was from a machine.
1574
01:51:26,833 --> 01:51:27,916
But it wasn't.
1575
01:51:33,750 --> 01:51:35,541
It was the sound of waterfalls.
1576
01:51:38,958 --> 01:51:40,791
[gentle music plays]
1577
01:51:48,416 --> 01:51:49,416
Mama?
1578
01:51:51,291 --> 01:51:52,333
Are you okay?
1579
01:51:59,375 --> 01:52:01,500
Xiao Jing, can you promise me one thing?
1580
01:52:03,916 --> 01:52:04,875
What is it?
1581
01:52:10,333 --> 01:52:11,416
[inhales]
1582
01:52:12,333 --> 01:52:14,208
Never ask me again if I'm okay.
1583
01:52:16,625 --> 01:52:18,416
I'll figure out a way to recover…
1584
01:52:20,291 --> 01:52:22,125
and live a good life with you.
1585
01:52:31,875 --> 01:52:35,833
2020 ADVANCED SUBJECTS TEST
1586
01:52:35,916 --> 01:52:37,916
[gentle music continues]
1587
01:53:26,625 --> 01:53:27,458
[music ends]
1588
01:53:37,916 --> 01:53:41,750
You haven't really been able to study much
because of me the last six months.
1589
01:53:42,708 --> 01:53:43,583
I'm really sorry.
1590
01:53:45,250 --> 01:53:47,583
I can still get into a public college,
1591
01:53:47,666 --> 01:53:49,291
but not in a top-ranked course.
1592
01:53:51,041 --> 01:53:53,875
You should prioritize
the major you want to study.
1593
01:53:54,750 --> 01:53:56,666
Don't mind if it's public or private.
1594
01:54:00,250 --> 01:54:02,958
But I'm still hoping
to get into a public college,
1595
01:54:03,041 --> 01:54:04,625
in Taipei, specifically.
1596
01:54:06,916 --> 01:54:08,541
Then I can stay at home.
1597
01:54:09,125 --> 01:54:10,833
I can even save on some rent.
1598
01:54:11,833 --> 01:54:15,041
It's easier to get
a part-time job in Taipei too.
1599
01:54:16,750 --> 01:54:18,750
You'll study a major
you're not interested in?
1600
01:54:18,833 --> 01:54:21,000
-Uh, here's your seafood pancake.
-Okay.
1601
01:54:22,000 --> 01:54:23,625
-Please enjoy.
-[both] Thank you.
1602
01:54:27,000 --> 01:54:29,458
Actually, I'm not sure what I want to do.
1603
01:54:30,166 --> 01:54:32,500
I have time, every major has its own path.
1604
01:54:33,041 --> 01:54:34,166
It won't be a problem.
1605
01:54:39,708 --> 01:54:40,583
Mama?
1606
01:54:41,750 --> 01:54:42,875
This Saturday,
1607
01:54:42,958 --> 01:54:45,291
I'm going to a barbecue with my friends.
1608
01:54:45,375 --> 01:54:46,500
Are you going to work?
1609
01:54:49,041 --> 01:54:49,875
Yes, I am.
1610
01:54:51,541 --> 01:54:52,833
It's fine.
1611
01:54:52,916 --> 01:54:53,958
You can go.
1612
01:54:55,833 --> 01:54:57,583
I'll be home before dark, then.
1613
01:54:58,250 --> 01:54:59,666
Let's have dinner after.
1614
01:55:10,458 --> 01:55:12,416
Did you bring your EasyCard and wallet?
1615
01:55:12,500 --> 01:55:13,416
I did.
1616
01:55:14,708 --> 01:55:15,666
Your face mask?
1617
01:55:16,375 --> 01:55:17,541
It's in my pocket.
1618
01:55:18,375 --> 01:55:19,625
Did you bring your phone?
1619
01:55:20,958 --> 01:55:22,041
It's in my bag.
1620
01:55:22,625 --> 01:55:23,500
Okay.
1621
01:55:24,583 --> 01:55:26,708
[band playing
traditional percussion music]
1622
01:55:52,708 --> 01:55:54,833
Are those students
from an all-boys school?
1623
01:55:56,708 --> 01:55:58,125
There won't be any boys.
1624
01:55:58,916 --> 01:56:01,625
It's just my classmates
as well as some teachers.
1625
01:56:13,125 --> 01:56:15,083
Did you bring your EasyCard and wallet?
1626
01:56:16,000 --> 01:56:16,916
Yes.
1627
01:56:17,416 --> 01:56:19,333
I also brought my phone and face mask.
1628
01:56:20,041 --> 01:56:20,875
Okay.
1629
01:56:24,916 --> 01:56:25,791
Hey.
1630
01:56:36,166 --> 01:56:37,000
Mama?
1631
01:56:38,208 --> 01:56:40,708
Remember to call me if you need anything.

[indistinct chatter, laughter]
1636
01:57:10,625 --> 01:57:12,083
Take care. Be careful.
1637
01:57:12,708 --> 01:57:14,375
The water's flowing very quickly.
1638
01:57:14,458 --> 01:57:16,166
-Be careful.
-[student] All together now.
1639
01:57:16,250 --> 01:57:17,375

[all] Hi! Ms. Luo!
1644
01:57:46,750 --> 01:57:47,875
Ms. Luo!
1645
01:57:47,958 --> 01:57:48,791
Love you!
1646

Hello?
1666
02:00:45,208 --> 02:00:47,875
-[female teacher] Are you Xiao Jing's mom?
-Yes, I am.
1667
02:00:48,458 --> 02:00:50,375
[emotionally] I'm Xiao Jing's teacher.
1668
02:00:51,000 --> 02:00:53,458
After our barbecue,
when we were about to leave,
1669
02:00:54,500 --> 02:00:56,041
the river suddenly rose up,
1670
02:00:56,625 --> 02:00:58,958
and some students, they got swept away.
1671
02:00:59,708 --> 02:01:02,333
Uh, did Xiao Jing get swept away too?
1672
02:01:02,416 --> 02:01:05,000
[exhales shakily] Don't worry for now.
1673
02:01:05,083 --> 02:01:07,833
There are many media
and TV reporters on the scene,
1674
02:01:08,416 --> 02:01:09,708
so it's very chaotic now.
1675
02:01:10,916 --> 02:01:12,375
I'm so sorry, Ms. Luo.
1676
02:01:12,458 --> 02:01:14,625
-I might not be able to call you again.
-[sirens wailing]
1677
02:01:14,708 --> 02:01:16,875
I still need to contact other parents.
1678
02:01:16,958 --> 02:01:19,708
I'll get in touch with you
if I have any news.
1679
02:01:19,791 --> 02:01:21,958
-[whistles blowing]
-[sirens growing louder]
1680
02:01:23,833 --> 02:01:27,375
Over 30 students and faculty
were having a barbecue by the riverside,
1681
02:01:27,458 --> 02:01:29,541
yet it became an irrevocable tragedy.
1682
02:01:29,625 --> 02:01:33,250
The cause was a release of dam water
without any warning.
1683
02:01:33,333 --> 02:01:36,333
And this is not
the first accident involving public safety
1684
02:01:36,416 --> 02:01:39,000
to occur that has managed
to claim innocent lives.
1685
02:01:39,083 --> 02:01:41,500
Is this due to human error
or mechanical failure?
1686
02:01:41,583 --> 02:01:43,833
This is our exclusive report
from the scene.
1687
02:01:44,333 --> 02:01:46,041
We've just received news a while ago
1688
02:01:46,125 --> 02:01:48,833
that the search and rescue team
has found some of the bodies.
1689
02:01:48,916 --> 02:01:50,833
This tragedy came without any warning.
1690
02:01:50,916 --> 02:01:52,875
-[gurney rattling]
-[people clamoring]
1691
02:01:53,750 --> 02:01:55,625
The rescuers saved a drowning girl
1692
02:01:55,708 --> 02:01:58,166
and immediately rushed her to shore
for first aid.
1693
02:01:58,250 --> 02:02:01,666
The rescuers didn't give up any hope,
performed CPR on the stretcher,
1694
02:02:01,750 --> 02:02:04,125
-and carried her to the ambulance.
-[paramedic] Nice and easy.
1695
02:02:05,416 --> 02:02:09,166
[reporter] Almost 200 search and rescue
personnel kept pouring onto the scene
1696
02:02:09,250 --> 02:02:12,458
carrying inflatable boats
to rescue people as soon as they can
1697
02:02:12,541 --> 02:02:13,875
before it gets dark.
1698
02:02:13,958 --> 02:02:17,208
This large-scale drowning disaster
happened this afternoon.
1699
02:02:17,291 --> 02:02:21,166
Thirty-five students and faculty
went to the riverside for a barbecue.
1700
02:02:21,250 --> 02:02:25,125
Unexpectedly, the dam upstream
released water without any warning,
1701
02:02:25,208 --> 02:02:27,375
trapping many of the students and faculty.
1702
02:02:27,458 --> 02:02:30,291
Why did these teachers bring
the students here to play with the water
1703
02:02:30,375 --> 02:02:32,208
without knowing how dangerous it is?
1704
02:02:32,291 --> 02:02:33,750
And according to the latest footage,
1705
02:02:33,833 --> 02:02:36,083
rescuers seem to have found
some of the students.
1706
02:02:36,166 --> 02:02:37,250
Let's see the other scene.
1707

02:02:40,375 --> 02:02:42,750
-[man] Come on out.
-[woman] Take her to the ambulance.
1710
02:02:42,833 --> 02:02:44,541
-[man] This way.
-[student sobbing]
1711
02:02:44,625 --> 02:02:46,958
-[man 1] Make way!
-[man 2] Follow us over here.
1712
02:02:47,041 --> 02:02:48,958
-Hurry!
-[man 1] Follow us. Right this way.
