Swap DX5 to DX4. Do it.
You're awake!
I'll give you the seed if you cut ties with Seiko.
Deal.
Promise not to misunderstand me.
I promise I won't misunderstand you.
Your solo boosted album sales.
- What gives you all the right? - "Us"?
I played that piece!
Want to be Concertmaster?
From now on,
I have no ties with He Ting Yu or Ketagalan.
Ting Yu, stick to the program. Avoid problems.
This album...
can destroy souls.
Because this album is built on lies.
In this album is a huge lie.
What's that mean?
Was the audience duped?
What kind of lie?
Ting Yu, what's wrong?
Everyone, sorry.
Ting Yu's unwell today.
Our meeting ends here.
Thank you, everyone.
What is it? Let him speak!
Let him speak!
It's nothing. Calm down.
What's it mean?
Ting Yu.
This is a live broadcast.
In this album,
Tchaikovsky's 'Souvenir d'un lieu cher'
was not played by me.
It was another violinist...
Chen Hai Jie.
- Who's he? - Were your past albums fake?
Never, of course.
Of course this album is genuine.
He Ting Yu would never use a substitute.
Why'd he do it this time?
Is he still a violinist?
Right, why?
It's all genuine.
He Ting Yu is a consummate musician.
He's always a master violinist.
Thanks, everyone. This session is over.
You say he can perform so why'd he need a substitute?
Concertmaster, can't you play?
Did alcoholism ruin your hands?!
That rumour is untrue.
Then let him play that piece!
Let's hear if he can play.
Yes. Play for us!
Okay. Wait.
Xiao Shu, bring the violin.
Is this a publicity stunt for your tour?
Why will I spread bad publicity?
Ting Yu's unwell today.
He's an emotional musician.
Today's session is over.
Thank you, all. Thanks.
Wait!
That Chen Hai Jie is in Ketagalan.
On tour, he had a solo.
The violin's here!
Can Concertmaster play us 'Souvenir d'un lieu cher'?
Right, right.
Okay, everyone, wait.
Ting Yu. Play for them.
Show them your hands are fine.
Are you still a violinist?
Your playing is empty.
The audience wants to be moved.
This CD will shame you!
That solo was mine!
Show them your hands are fine.
You're really unable to play?
Ting Yu!
Answer me! Why?
Chen Hai Jie let the matter go.
What are you proving? Ting Yu!
Please leave us to talk.
Answer. Think you're being noble?
You're happy ruining everyone?
Why are you laughing?
When you watch us off stage, do you feel lonely?
Don't change the subject.
Can you understand how I agonise about
finding the secrets in ancient composers' music.
Don't talk rot. Answer me.
You say you supported me.
Fine, let me ask.
Do you understand who I truly am?
How can't I know?
I met you when you were 20. How can't I know you?!
You're acting so noble
but do you know how this will pan out in a week?
I can't even bear tonight.
How'd I care about next week?!
Fine. I'll tell you.
In one week, the world will still turn.
No-one will care about this.
But you'll be finished. Ketagalan will be over!
To satisfy your pride, we'll all eat shit!
If you truly cared for Ketagalan,
you wouldn't have used these underhand methods
to ruin me completely.
"I" ruined you?
I was just finding a way to extend your career!
This was a tiny measure.
Lots of singers use auto-tune.
Was I so wrong? Did I sin?
Did you know?
You only care about results.
You only care for image.
You had no true feelings for anyone!
We never felt the same way.
Where's Lisa?
She left for the USA.
Why'd she go at this time?
It's probably for Alice's illness. I didn't ask.
I hope the outcome satisfied you.
I won't play violin publicly again.
No way.
I finally found a reason to stop playing violin.
In the past few years,
classical music had an idol wave.
A cool image overlays skill.
When you listen to a CD,
is it a musician's authentic recording?
Where's the meaning in idol-centric classical music?
Tchaikovsky's 'Souvenir d'un lieu cher'
was not played by me.
It was another violinist...
Chen Hai Jie.
Who's Chen Hai Jie?
Were your past albums fake?
Never.
There's no problem.
Let him finish!
Everything's genuine.
He Ting Yu is a genius violinist.
Play before you go!
You're back.
Where'd you go? I fell asleep?
Keep resting.
I'll cook.
No need. Sit.
Can you go home for a while?
Is the situation unfixable?
The news has broken.
The China tour will be cancelled.
Our sponsors will withdraw.
Ketagalan is finished.
Let's leave. I'll book tickets...
No need.
You don't get how serious it is.
- You don't want me? - How'd that be?
Don't you want me?!
Now I only have you. How can't I want you?
I won't leave you at this time.
Take this.
Don't say anything.
There should be no problem.
It's the truth.
Go home for a while.
Don't let me worry about you, okay?
Sis!
- Sorry I woke you. - What's up?
Nothing. Sleep.
Did you come to get something?
No.
Did you fight about today?
- Wow, how lavish! - Dad, sit and eat.
You and your sister are alike.
When something's wrong, you leave me.
Why say that? I missed you. Aren't I back?
You sweet talked me since you were little.
My daughter's grown up.
You have to get married and cook like this.
Seeing you wear that watch makes me miss your mom.
Dad.
That's the best praise you ever gave me.
Wait a moment.
Xiao Shu.
I'm entrusting these to you.
Your sister is scatter-brained.
You're clear-sighted.
Take care of these in case anything happens to me.
Dad, why say this early in the morning?
This ring was given to your mom by my mother.
I hope you wear it when you get engaged.
It's a bit old-fashioned but it's good luck, okay?
And tell that Tang guy
I won't oppose you as a couple.
Your happiness is important.
Hello? I need a taxi to the airport.
Why are you dressed like that?
You aren't against remarrying;
I'm not against marrying you.
I thought you left last night.
If I had left, who'd call you a cab?
Sir, to the airport, thanks.
[ Activities suspended ]
Concertmaster.
Just tell me the conclusion.
Some files are missing
but I've reviewed all records.
And?
The overseas copyright,
and the tour deposit,
were deposited into a Hong Kong account.
What about orchestra funds? How much is left?
And other funds?
There was an insurance payout for 5 million NTD ($170,000 US).
That insurance money
was also deposited into that Hong Kong account.
Great.
What's going on? Where's Director Tang?
I think...
you all know by now.
Our Director Tang
used orchestra working capital
for his personal investment.
The orchestra's funds, overseas tour deposit,
and most of our assets were embezzled.
Then where is he?
Tell him to show up.
He's missing, whereabouts unknown.
Because all stores are demanding a recall,
I agreed to take all new CDs off the shelves.
Here...
I officially announce
Ketagalan Symphony Orchestra...
is disbanded.
Here...
I officially announce Ketagalan Symphony Orchestra...
is disbanded.
What do you mean?
Tang Jin Cang cleaned out the orchestra's money.
His whereabouts is unknown.
I made myself clear, Team Leader Li Yun.
Li Yun.
The sale of this violin
will cover everyone's severance pay.
I entrust it to you; I'll trouble you to handle the rest.
Now...
I apologize to everyone.
Where have all the flowers gone
Long time passing
Where have all the flowers gone
Long time ago
Where have all the flowers gone
Gone to young girls everyone
When will they ever learn?
Where have all the young girls gone
Long time passing
Where have all the young girls gone
Long time ago
You're late.
Sorry.
I went to hospital first
to confirm the situation.
Why'd you go to the hospital?
What did you do?
Why haven't you left yet?
I want my daughter's condition to stabilize before I go.
Your daughter's in a good state.
Someone plays violin for her.
He laughs and talks with her...
like a fool.
I warn you.
Don't go near the hospital
or our agreement is void.
Then leave now!
When I get anxious, who knows what I might do?
I can't sleep; I can't.
Tchaikovsky's 'Souvenir d'un lieu cher'
was not played by me.
I must leave for a bit.
Promise you won't misunderstand me.
I promise I'll never misunderstand you.
Hi, it's Ash. I found him.
That Tang Jin Cang fled to Cambodia.
I have a friend who does business there.
If it's necessary to drag him back, I'll give you mates' rates.
What, are you bored?
Want me to find you some girls for company?
I need more sleeping pills.
I'll send you more.
Don't think too much. Rest.
Can't you play violin anymore?
Is it true alcoholism ruined your hands?
Let him play for us.
See if he can play!
This CD will shame you!
Good luck. I'm waiting.
Let me warn you, don't play Siren easily...
Don't you realise your playing is empty?
Liar! You don't want Mommy!
Show them your hands are fine.
The audience wants to be stirred.
How's it like this?
You want to win.
Why not produce something good?
You want a Europe tour with me...
...a genius violinist...
Lisa. Weren't you off to the US?
Yes. I must leave soon.
Ting Yu.
You did nothing wrong.
I'm proud of you.
Remember when we met?
You were more miserable then.
You're grown up now.
Believe me,
if you rest a while, you can stand up again.
Time...
has no meaning for me anymore.
I can't play violin anymore... and no-one needs me to play.
You needn't play violin.
You must rest.
Mom's here...She's taking me away.
She won't let me sleep.
Ting Yu.
Do you want a place to rest for a while?
Where could I go?
Remember that place?
The place where you can help a lot of people.
That place can make you feel relaxed.
That place has significance.
What are you doing?
- Turn it off! - Hello?
Wait a moment!
Seriously...she disturbed the neighbourhood.
You finally answered. Where on earth are you?
I said coffee and alcohol are bad for you.
How long were you going to make me search for you?
There's nothing I can do.
Stop trying to be strong, okay?
Do you know how much you're worrying people around you?
People around me...
What people?
Everyone left...
I drove everyone away.
Tell me.
What do you need? What can I do?
Tell me and I'll think of a way.
Anything will do.
Anything will do?
I want darkness.
I want an unchanging world
where I can hide
and never emerge.
Don't be in darkness, okay?
Can you come out?
I want you to go now.
And don't come back!
- Didn't you want to see me? - What joke is that?!
You can't live without me.
You saw me, so leave now.
I don't want to go. You can't stay alone-
I can only think alone, okay?
I beg you, I must be alone!
I like being alone; I enjoy it; I only need aloneness, so leave!
He Ting Yu!
Your being here...bothers me.
I bother you?
Forget me, Lan Die Fei.
Ting Yu, don't go!
Forget me, Lan Die Fei.
Ting Yu, don't go!
You said you needed to see me.
The one who made me face my dreams and talent...was you.
I can't forget that memory.
You just can't forget that stage.
Any random person can go on stage.
But when they step on it, life goes bad.
Could you stand on stage?
You're cowardly, dependent, and lack confidence or ideas!
I can't forget- you told me I was your only leading lady.
You wrote Garden of Dreams only for me.
I can't forget- you said you won't deceive yourself!
Now you want me to leave you?
I can't do it.
Only now do I see...
the one below the stage, smiling at your dream,
is the real you.
My advice is, be ordinary again.
Don't let the stage consume you.
Don't you want to hear me sing ever again?
I can't hear anything anymore.
Don't leave.
You need me. I need you.
I've already begun to forget you, Lan Die Fei.
Leave.
I don't want to see you again.
I understand.
Hai Jie, promise to take care of Seiko.
Let her wait for me safely.
Since this is for Alice, be careful.
I will. Everything's arranged.
Did you meet Ting Yu?
And is he okay?
He chased me away.
He wanted to see you, then chased you off?
That's his typical "He" personality style.
It's baffling.
He tries hard to be brave
but he's scared at heart.
Only cowards would hide.
Relax. He'll come out sometime.
How'd you have faith Alice would come back?
Why aren't I one bit confident?
Actually, I have a way.
I'll tell you a secret. Don't tell anyone.
I used a spell.
- A spell? Seriously? - Seriously!
It makes your wishes come true.
Let me hear it.
Pay attention.
Wu Ka, Wa Ka
Pu Ka, Sha Ka
Wu Ka, Wa Ka, Wu Ka Sha Ka
What do you think? Feel anything?
Does it really work?
Of course! Focus on your wish
and yell the spell! It works if you believe it.
See, I chanted it for a year and Alice came back to me.
Then I want to do it. Show me again.
Pay attention.
Wu Ka, Wa Ka, Wu Ka Sha Ka
Can you do it?
Let's do it together.
Wu Ka, Wa Ka, Wu Ka Sha Ka
Again. Wu Ka, Wa Ka, Wu Ka Sha Ka
Your sister's a bit much; she won't answer her phone.
Tons of people are looking for her. She won't dare answer.
Dad doesn't even know she left.
Really? You didn't tell him?
How can I?
"Lan Yu Shu is off with her embezzler lover"?
I can't tell him.
Why's it feel like everyone disappeared?
He Ting Yu left too? Where'd he go?
Somewhere I'm not.
He said people all leave him, so forget him.
From all the books I read, that makes no sense.
Can I work here again?
Really?
If our tiny bookstore
gets your singing talents,
we'll get so popular. Let me think about space.
Star Search...we need a big stage.
He says I lack confidence or ideas
or ability to stand on stage.
There is a way.
What if I move the two sofas, clean these tables...
Hello, Mr. He. A room is ready for you.
- Rest well in this fresh air. - Thank you.
No matter what happens to you...
I want to sleep!
I want to dream!
I want to wake up!
Where have all the flowers gone~
Long time passing~
Where have all the flowers gone~
Long time ago~
What are you searching for?
Why are you here?
I'm waiting for you to exchange something with me.
Exchange what?
Didn't you say you want to sleep and dream and wake up?
This isn't real, is it?
Don't think too much. Let's make an exchange!
I got your bad dream. In return,
you'll begin to have wonderful dreams.
But you must fall asleep without pills.
Sleeping pills will give you an unwanted dream.
(Hey)
Hey!

Wu Ka Sha Ka
If you rely on sleeping pills,
you'll have a dream you won't want.
Welcome!
Dad! You're so childish.
Who asked you to mope all day?
That's not how our store runs.
What is this?!
Why can't I call your sister?
Fine. Dad, Sis mightn't be home for a while.
Where'd she go?
Isn't she with that Tang guy?
No-one knows where they went.
We can't find out unless she contacts us.
What are they doing?
How'd those two get in a mess?
They just ran away? What is this?
Dad, don't over-worry.
Sis won't just abandon you.
I waited over 20 years
for you both to grow up.
This short time won't matter.
But you...
You ran out after that phone call.
After you came back, you're still gloomy?
Ting Yu says people leave us.
I think he's right.
Director Tang left. Sis left.
Now he's gone.
Gone? What do you mean?
"Gone" means he can't come back.
Your mom left this world young- that's "gone".
Places reachable by car can't compare with Heaven.
But he chased me away.
You differ from your sister.
While you back down,
your sister moves forward.
'The Boy With No Dreams'
Sleep.
Dream wonderful dreams.
You came.
My dad was a botanist.
Imagine how an astronomer feels on discovering a star?
A botanist's life dream
is to personally discover previously unknown plants.
My dad...
accepted a commission from SJ's father
to look for the 'Alice' plant.
My dad overcame hardships,
going places no-one had been,
but greed hurt him.
The real danger wasn't in the forest...
