Ruby, have a drink with me.
Spare my assistant. I'll drink with you.
Subtitle by Aldi Arman
Pour.
- Finish this. - Finish this...
What about the apartment?
I'll buy it. No problem.
Nobody, nobody but you.
Andrew, where are you?
Why didn't you tell me you're not coming?
Now I have to do this all alone.
They brought devilish alcohol because of you.
My stomach is about to bleed.
Is this a set up?
What are you babbling about?
Your wife?
I can't hear...
Even the shoes suck when you're out of luck
Hold it...
Tonight someone has to strip.
Quiet down...
Today, We're all gathered here,
because the handsome and charming Zhu Tian
from our precinct
will kiss his bachelor days goodbye.
He found himself a wife.
Dong, you're too fussy. Just cut the spiel.
I Want to sing this song.
Dong, get with the times. This song is out.
This is the wrong key.
This version is different.
You two go ahead. I can't sing this song.
Good, I'm sober.
You didn't have to do this.
What did you say?
You think women can only climb onto a bed?
Not me. I'll make a name for myself.
You go go go.
Keep an eye on that moron.
N-A-E-L-C.
Miss.
Why is there a seedling here?
Miss.
Are you drunk, Miss?
You're a little lamb in a men's world.
What room are you in? I'll take you back.
Take me back. Why am I left here?
What's this doing in my hand?
Police.
Don't get any ideas.
A cop? Great, you better take me back.
What room are you in?
I don't know, they ditched me.
Take me home, officer.
Miss...
You smell good.
What room are you in?
Where have you been?
Mr Ko. No. I just order some snacks for you guys
seems you are so hungry.
I am not hungry, just thirsty.
Let's play a game. If I win,
you must buy a flat from me.
No problem. I'll buy.
Let's play a game.
Let's go back inside.
- Come on. - OK.
Look at all those holes on your vest.
Inside and out, they're the living proof
of your bachelorhood.
We're all married,
you should be next.
I have to go.
Come on, not when We're all here.
Stay. It's hard setting up this gathering.
No, I need to catch the last train.
I can't spend more than I should.
You're great,
saving each penny for your bro.
Ping, Dong is a lifesaver.
He needs to look after Zhencong Let him go.
Well...
Don't drink and drive.
- All right. I-lave a safe ride home. - I-lave fun.
Xiaole, don't be late next morning.
I know.
Bye.
Miss.
Why didn't you catch me, you stupid?
Are you OK?
It hurts.
Come on.
Miss.
Are you OK?
Little lamb.
Are you drunk?
Miss.
Take me home.
I must go home, Miss.
I Want you to carry me home.
I must go home, Miss.
I have to go home myself.
I have to go home too.
Where do you live?
I live...
Where's your friend?
My friend?
You're right...where is he?
Last year, I was alone in Beijing,
I was almost frozen...
under a big clock.
I sang.
"Happy Birthday" to myself.
"Happy Birthday" to myself...
it's snowing.
No, it's not. You're drunk.
It is really snowing.
Look.
Where's the switch?
Welcome home.
Take it easy.
I'll put your purse over here.
It's dangerous to drink like this.
A girl shouldn't drink like this.
You smell good.
Ouch.
I don't want to be alone.
Don't go back to your wife.
Stay here with me.
"Alcohol is bad. I paid $27 for the cab."
You're Lion King, You're just as professional...
as Yao Ming.
Stop playing, you'll wake the neighbors. Don't be late for work.
I want one.
OK...Lion King needs to break for lunch.
Come on.
Go home...it's lunchtime.
Come, let's eat.
I ate already.
You did? With whom?
Stay here.
I can't. There's a car in front.
If it doesn't move, I can't.
Miss, is this your car?
Move it, you're holding up traffic.
Where else am I supposed to park?
What are you looking at?
Put this in the car.
Remember me at the karaoke the other night?
I know you.
You bit me.
Alcohol is bad. I paid $27 for the cab.
You remember the fare, but what about me?
What's your name? I remember you.
Fang Zhendong.
Show some respect and move the car.
People are getting impatient.
All right, I respect you. Take this.
I'll buy you coffee some day.
Li Peiru.
Fang Zhendong.
A toast to Guiping's prosperous business.
Thanks, Zhong.
Good business.
Thanks.
What is it? You hurt yourself?
Nothing, just a bit numb.
Drink up, it's good for your circulation.
What's your hurry back to Tianjin? Your wife?
Do I look pussy whipped to you?
Both my in-laws are not in good health.
I need to be back sooner to look after them.
Anyway, I've already sold my flat...
in Beijing.
That's a good idea.
In a few more years, I'll sell mine too
and take Zhencong to an outlying village.
I have an old house in Mentougou,
remember we went there last year?
I think it's quite suitable for Zhencong.
Let me know if you need it.
Enough about your bro. What about yourself?
There's a better solution.
Get a wife. She'll take care of you both.
Grandma said I was a lifesaver.
It's my job to look after my kid brother.
Drink up.
The truth of the matter is...
you're not only...
your brother's savior.
Girls are waiting to be rescued by you.
Fang Zhendong What a coincidence.
It's you?
You're alone?
Where's your wife?
I don't have one. That's why I'm alone.
A nice, independent man.
What did you buy?
Ingredients to make dumplings.
Dumplings?
What's your phone number?
OK.
All these are for dumplings?
Yes.
I'm in a hurry. Let me borrow them.
No way.
I beg you. Please.
You know how to make them?
That's why I asked for your number.
Wait for my call. I'll buy you coffee next time.
Fang Zhendong.
Relax, I Won't take advantage of you.
It's OK as long as you'll pay me back.
Fang Zhendong.
Hello, Miss Li.
How do you know it's me?
Only you call me Fang Zhendong.
What are you doing right now?
Making dumplings.
Perfect. Can you send them over?
Why should I?
Because you're a cop, you're here to serve.
You must save me.
Cops don't save anyone with dumplings.
You're not an ordinary cop.
I'm here all by my lonesome,
you must come over and save me.
You want me to save you?
Please? Fang Zhendong.
Alright...don't cry.
Hurry, Fang Zhendong Come on in.
Look.
You're from Hong Kong? You're very capable.
I'm not very capable. I'm simply brilliant.
Right...brilliant.
You summoned me here to watch
how you brilliantly ravage the dumplings?
Show me...
how to make genuine local dumplings.
Your wrapping...
shouldn't be too thick.
You must not put too much stuffing.
You're amazing, Fang Zhendong.
You're a true lifesaver.
Smell that?
No. I made coffee for you.
Thanks. I thought you were talking about me.
Do you cook?
No.
You cook for your girlfriend?
No. You're making...
your boyfriend dumplings?
No, you are.
Me? Why don't you eat out?
I must do something special.
A girl from Hong Kong
makes Beijing dumplings for her boyfriend.
That's so romantic.
If I do it, it will be me romancing him.
No, do you understand?
All I-long Kong cooking shows are like this:
"I made this because We're pressed for time."
Everyone wants ready-made, not the process.
That's because he's married.
You told me when you were drunk.
I was drunk?
I'm a cop, I have a still trap.
Thank you.
He's early.
Put this on.
Andrew.
Thanks. Is the john fixed?
Yes.
Thank you.
It's all right.
I made you dumplings
I can do better than that.
I remember the 1994...
World Cup final.
Brazil Vs...
Italy.
In the U.S.A.
Brazil Vs Italy.
I remember my ex just left me,
and you made me watch the World Cup with you.
Dong, get your facts straight.
She left because you watched the World Cup
or you watched it...
because she left you?
Fang Zhendong Where are you?
Our worry is uncalled for.
All right.
Miss Li. Are you all right?
No lights?
You blew a fuse? No air-con?
- No power. - This is supposed to be a 5-star home.
You're drunk again?
There's nothing to drink but alcohol.
You can't do this.
Get the manager to fix it.
Miss Li,
you should call your boyfriend.
My boyfriend?
Yes.
He doesn't want me. He's with his wife.
Miss Li.
Lie down.
Cover up.
You have anything thicker?
Little lamb.
- Miss Li. - Why are you so nice to me?
Why did you come over when I called?
I'm not a little lamb, Miss Li.
Little lamb.
Miss Li.
You always come over
I'm not a little lamb, Miss Li.
When I call.
Miss Li, I'm Fang Zhendong.
Miss Li.
Let me see your heart.
Miss Li.
Why even you don't want me?
I'm all alone.
Hold me.
I'm cold.
I'm tired.
Are you all right?
Did I invite you over?
Of course.
We're going to have a baby then.
We slept...
in the same bed.
Get up.
What is your make-up doing in the freezer?
For women,
this is more important than water.
Miss Li, I must go home.
I must make breakfast for my kid brother.
That's so sweet.
What do you mean by little lamb?
What little lamb?
You call me that when you're drunk.
That's gibberish.
Want me to make you breakfast?
Yes.
Your ginger tea.
Eat.
Breakfast is ready.
Your brother is an artist.
I'm sorry. I must go look for my brother.
What?
Zhencong.
You're not working today. Why are you here?
Is everything all right?
He's your kid brother?
- Have you eaten? - How cute.
Hello.
So cute.
Are you cold?
I'm fine.
I'll help you.
Good.
Zhencong, let's go home.
Let's go.
Yours?
So you're actually a handsome man.
Hot dumplings.
Come here.
Let's eat.
Try it.
Slowly...it's hot.
Put this on.
So many awards.
I work hard because I can't do anything else.
Serving the people.
You have a nice home.
You call this nice?
My ex...
took everything when she left,
including the wedding picture on the wall.
You have a 5-star home. I have no star.
Your ex?
When did you get married?
1999,
not for very long. She left 9 years ago.
I hope you'll sleep well.
How long have you been seeing her?
Dating.
3 years, in 1996.
Few men remember things like that.
We both like A-Mei then.
She was a hit.
My ex sang "Crushed by the One I Love."
She said I clapped the loudest.
Then I sang Chen Xing's "Don't be Lonely."
She said she was moved when I sang it to her.
Moved? I'll have to hear this.
It's your smell.
No way. I always put it out...
in the sun.
Here.
Nobody ever says it smells.
Right?
Get some sleep.
Good night.
Your call cannot be connected.
Hello.
How are you, nice to meet you.
Turn left at the next intersection,
turn right at the next light...
- and go straight. - Thanks.
- Don't mention it. - Thanks.
Are you all right?
I'm fine.
Chief, you haven't submitted your reports.
What reports?
The daily reports.
No way. I hand them in on time every day.
But they didn't receive it.
Who told you?
We come here at 4:30 every clay.
I turn it in at 5:30. It cannot be.
But you haven't turned it in for 3 days.
Fang Zhendong.
Get in, Zhencong.
Aren't you tired of wearing that?
I'm only tired of not wearing them.
Can you do me a favor?
Like what?
Follow my boyfriend.
No.
He put all my money on a flat.
I can't afford a private investigator.
I can't abuse my power, understand?
You're supposed to serve the people.
I can't mix business with pleasure.
Please?
Forget it.
What do you want to know?
I want to know if there's another woman.
His wife is a woman.
She's his past.
Other women will be his future.
Even if I'll find out he has another woman,
I can only tell you "No," understand?
It's all right, I'm fine.
You're bleeding.
It's all right.
Wait a minute.
- it's all right. - I'm sorry.
Let's go.
Dong.
Xiaowan.
Having a good time?
Zhencong
I made soup.
Xiaowan.
Spare me that guy's things. I'm no trash can.
You're so petty.
I better go then.
It's all right.
Chief, did you hand it in?
Mind your business. I'm serious.
Fang Zhendong.
What is it?
One piece of luggage.
Ruby.
What are you doing, Peiru? Are you crazy?
Peiru.
Watch it.
Forget it, Andrew.
I Want my money back.
What money?
My commission from selling each flat.
I already gave you $20K...
for your credit cards.
How can you say that?
Says who?
Ruby did most of the work.
You're from Hong Kong. You can't be serious?
Get up.
How can you say that?
I'm fine. I can still manage...
without men or money.
What?
Why did you move back?
The creep took my 5-star home.
I was at your office.
I was fired.
Why?
It happens. Layoffs after the new year.
When the stock market falls, people split up.
I consulted a fortune teller.
He told me to put these here for good luck.
Get me the salt.
Inside this cupboard?
Yes.
Pour it in.
All of it.
Put this on the east west side.
I'll have luck and health.
Why are you here?
I made dumplings.
Nuke them...
if you're hungry.
I have to go.
Throw these out for me.
You don't want this?
Earth to earth, dust to dust.
It's all right. You can call me.
Tear this down, my work station over here.
The pantry over here.
Coffee, red wine, mixer...
Over here,
Heaven and Earth Real Estate Co.
How much is the rent?
Around $280K in total.
That's almost $300K.
Just $280K.
I already got a discount.
$300K is a lot.
You should re-consider.
- What do you mean? - Nothing.
- You don't think I can do this? - I don't mean that.
I came to Beijing by myself.
I won't be here
if I'm scared.
I'll get a loan from the bank.
Miss Li.
If you had...
told me about Andrew earlier,
I could have made Ruby leave him.
None of this would have happened.
Miss Li.
I don't blame you, OK?
I know what I have to do.
"Final notice."
I'm glad you're here.
I don't know how to deal with Xiaowan's Mom.
Dong.
Zhencong, the green onions...
Here they are.
Here.
Go.
I'm here because of this, Mr Fang.
"Mom, Zhencong wants me to marry him."
We're poor and my daughter is a mute,
but...
I won't marry her off casually.
I must make sure she's happy.
I know,
my brother has communication issues.
He can't even take care of himself,
let alone take care of someone else.
He has no business getting married.
But please believe me.
As his brother, I'll look after them both.
Please re-consider.
- You're mistaken, Mr Fang. - No.
I know...
you don't want Xiaowan to suffer.
No.
Look.
I trust he will be good to her. Look.
Look at the details...she looks so pretty.
Xiaowan knows...
Zhencong will make her happy.
She says she's not mute...
in Zhencong's world.
She's unique.
Chicken.
- Xiaowan, Zhencong usually... - Dong.
- Auntie. - Dong.
I made sweet & sour spareribs...
for the guests.
- I brought them over. - That's enough.
Help yourselves.
Thank you.
- So happy. - Cheers.
Cheers.
No bottoms up.
The food is getting cold.
- Let me get you a helping. - A toast to Xiaowan's Mom.
Must be tough for you.
Thank you.
So happy.
No bottoms up.
Half...
Cheers.
Miss Li, are you all right?
So happy.
Are you all right?
So happy.
So much happiness in this world.
Mother's love, brotherly love.
Enough love to get married. I've seen them all.
I thought they had gone extinct.
Did you see Xiaowan's Mom?
When you said you'd take care of Zhencong,
did you see how happy she looked?
Yes.
You know then how much she loves Xiaowan.
Yes.
You cried.
I did not.
Yes, you did.
I did not.
Yes, you did. Tears rolled down your face.
It's obvious you cried.
OK, I cried...
it's all right. Take it easy.
Everyone was crying
and everyone was happy.
Miss Li.
Everyone but me.
My Mom is a bitch when she Wants money.
What am Ito her?
An ATM machine.
You look after your kid brother,
but everyone in my family is selfish.
You had too much to drink.
Miss Li.
Next time don't drink so much.
I did not.
Men always make me
drink a lot.
I used to be a hairstylist.
Right.
Hairstylists are cool.
But with no money? Cool my ass.
Right.
I'm not...
I'm not hungry for money.
I just don't want to be like my parents.
They bought a flat...
before they retired.
Now the family is stuck with the mortgage.
I have to give them $5,000 a month,
and I still have 9 more years to go.
9 years later,
I'll be 40 years old.
Right. Miss Li.
You will be fine...
just too much alcohol.
I Want a man who Won't make me pay mortgage.
I don't mind if he's married.
But he only wants my money,
not me.
It's all right. I'll go to Taiwan alone...
to Shanghai, to Beijing,
I don't care.
Stop it,
Miss Li.
- I'm tired. - Don't say it.
Don't say it anymore, Miss Li.
Whenever you need me, I'll be there.
Miss Li.
Nobody would hire me for the last 6 months.
Even a mute is wanted but not me.
Miss Li.
Sorry,
but we don't approve of your business.
We have reviewed your file.
If you were in Hong Kong,
we would have approved your application,
but not here.
It's high risk for us as you're new at this.
Here's the kids' room. Get a feel for it.
- Not bad. - Think about it.
We have to go, Mr Fang. You'll hear from me.
Well'?
If you want it, you must hurry.
I can't guarantee I can hold it.
I like it.
The price...
Negotiable. Let's talk back in the office.
- I'm sure you'll be happy. - All right.
You don't have to sell it.
Zhencong needs the money to get married.
You should think it over.
Maybe she'll find a job.
Then she won't need to borrow from you.
Zhencong will get his share.
I'm only loaning her my share.
