The Interpreter
- Episode 7 -
Thank you.
What now?
I don't think I have my keys with me.
- Then what do we do? - Don't worry. Don't worry. Don't be angry,
I-I'll call Wu Jia Yi.
I'll call her right now. Don't be angry. Don't be angry. It'll be quick. Quick.
- Hello? Jia Yi? - Yeah?
I don't have the house keys.
Where did you say you put the spare key last time?
I don't think... there is a spare key.
What do you mean there's no spare key?
Think carefully. Hello?
Don't act all pitiful and give me that face.
Get out.
Director, I-
It doesn't have a password. Get a suite and text me the room number.
Then go buy something normal to wear. Girls should have self-respect and self-love.
- Director, about today... - I don't want to be mixed up in your problems.
Hurry up and go.
You're killing me. I don't know how I'm going to explain this to Cheng Jia Yang.
Next time something like this happens, can you please warn me beforehand?
You're so unreliable. Okay, okay, I won't say any more.
Hurry and lock the door.
The two of us— We're not going to do anything at the hotel.
Hello, Miss. How can I help you?
Okay, I can't talk anymore. Bye-bye.
- Can you get me the cheapest blouse and skirt you have here?- Okay.
It's so expensive, who would buy it?
Director.
Put them over on the table there.
Okay.
You went to the Institute?
Where's my card?
I spent a total of 1,200 yuan. Is it okay if I pay you back in installments?
Pay me ¥300 a month.
So are we going to work here today?
Not "we." You'll work. I'll rest.
- Thank you.- Thank you.
So are we leaving straight from here tomorrow?
Director...
Can't you knock?
Why aren't you wearing any clothes?
Have you resolved the situation with Prince Gabu? Do I need to write a review report?
Do you need me to go there to explain anything? I—
Your muscles...
You're not allowed to say anything.
You're not allowed to ask any questions. Do whatever I tell you to do.
What are you looking at? Go and work.
Director, should I choose this one or this one?
What do you think? Go look it up in the dictionary.
Ughh... Hello?
- Good morning, this is a wake-up call from the hotel.- Oh, okay.
When you're ready, go to the restaurant and look for me.
This is for you.
I think ¥1,000 should be enough for last night, right?
What do you mean by this?
For your time last night. Don't pretend to be confused.
Didn't you just want to make money?
Is that something a person should say? What do you take me for?
I take you for what you take yourself for. I only know that you need money.
I want you to take back this money.
Or do you not believe that I'll throw this money at your face?
Why? Don't you need money? Of course,
you might feel wronged or have to do some things against your will, but do you know what dreams are?
Dreams have a bottom line, do you understand?
Doing things recklessly because of your dreams is called moral bankruptcy.
What exactly did I do to make you misunderstand me like this?
There is no misunderstanding. You know what you did.
You know what your thoughts are.
Of course, I've seen people like you before.
Succeeding in a roundabout way is still succeeding. It's enough just to succeed, right?
So even if I really succeed one day, you'll think I used dirty tricks, right?
Don't talk to me about your background, everyone has been poor once.
When I was poor, I also worked part-time jobs. I've had to miss meals.
But even if I was poor, I knew I couldn't degrade myself.
How did I degrade myself? How did I?
Did I murder or start fires? Or did I become a prostitute or steal?
I had a reason for what happened yesterday. It's a misunderstanding.
That's enough, you don't have to explain to me. I said it before, you can succeed this way, too.
Okay, fine. I won't explain it to you.
No matter what I say to you, you always make that face. You have your sense of superiority.
You always see me in the worst light.
I've had many other interns, but I've never had one as troublesome as you.
You want to stay at the Institute, yet you also go to nightclubs and sell red wine.
Why aren't you full of energy? You're quite capable when it comes to adapting.
If I can go to work during the day and go back home with enough money for my living expenses,
do you think I'd tire myself out like this?
Does the Institute not pay enough?
How much money does a girl like you use?
If you're vain and materialistic, just admit it.
People like you who argue with their own sense of self-justice annoy me the most.
Can't you just lead a simpler and more pure life?
- Why must you always make lowly things noble? - How am I lowly?
Cheng Jia Yang, if you had the chance to be me for one day,
you would know why I'm like this today.
Yes,
you told me that you've been poor before, that you've held part-time jobs.
I also know that you don't depend on your family, but do you know what the most important thing that your family gave you is?
It's not money, but the sense of security. You have a sense of security, but I don't.
A sense of security is feeling strong on the inside.
The sense of security is something you give to yourself, no one else can give it to you.
You're always this arrogant,
because you've never put yourself in someone else's shoes. You'll never know the difficulties that others face.
What difficulties do you have? Why haven't I heard you talk about them before?
What's the point in telling you?
To add to your sense of superiority?
Who do you think you are?
I'm so stupid.
I thought I could remove your bias against me by working hard, but I must've been crazy.
Is your opinion that important to me?
Hey, wait a sec.
Take the money. At the very least, it'll pay for your clothes.
I'll pay for the clothes myself.
And...
I'm going to curse you so that you'll always think you're infallible!
Only an idiot will like you because you don't know how to respect others.
Qiao Fei helped you organize it, right?
She did it very thoroughly. She even used highlighters to mark things.
It's nothing special.
Why isn't she here today? Did she take the day off?
She's too embarrassed to come.
What happened? Is everything okay?
It's nothing.
The interns are all talking about it.
How you helped Qiao Fei with the Gabu situation.
I was too careless. She doesn't have the qualifications to make this kind of mistake.
If you don't want her, give her to me. I'm lacking of clever interns.
Why do you want someone who doesn't walk on the right path?
Hello, everyone.
Welcome to the Poloidal Field Conductors Experiments International Symposium.
Our symposium will last three days.
All right, our symposium will begin now.
Who are you looking for, Xiao Xing Fu?
I'm looking for you.
Huh, looking for me? Come on in.
Why are you looking for me?
Doctor Gao, will my dad die?
We need to see the therapy results for your father. If the results are good,
there's a possibility of full recovery. - Will he die?
Xing Fu, doctors need to explain things scientifically.
They can't simply say whether you will die or not.
Tell me honestly, will he die? If he dies, I'll die, too.
There's nothing like that. Even if there's no Dad,
you still have to live on healthily.
What will I do without my dad to love me?
It doesn't matter if you have anyone to love you or not,
you are a man.
You must to live on. No matter how sad you feel,
you must not let anyone else know.
Hey, Fei Fei! Open the door.
The Institute is calling for you to go to work! Hey!
Fei Fei, don't be angry. I didn't know that President Xu would do
that to you yesterday. I was wrong, okay?
Hey!
- Fei Fei, don't be mad at me. - I'm not mad at you.
You didn't go to work or pick up your phone all day. I thought you were going to commit suicide.
Why would I commit suicide?
Oh, yeah. That's true.
With a personality like you, I don't think you will commit suicide with such a little problem.
If so, how many times would you have died already?
My lowly life, the king of hell won't even want it.
Don't say that.
We, both, share the same kind of faith. If your life is low, then what about mine?
Who does Cheng Jia Yang think he is? Don't mind him.
I am telling you. I really didn't want to mind him at all,
but he shouldn't have insulted me so.
Why has he been always thinking so bad of me? He just wants to step on me into the mud one step after another.
That's right, he is a jerk! Let's go! Let's go to I.A.I. and sue him.
I can't sue him. He has a veto to vote me off.
Wow! I guess we can't do anything against him, then.
- Tada!- Hire an assassin to kill?
No. Let's go.
Sister will take you out for a meal. Let's eat and talk.
Bye.
- Mrs., could I get one?- Okay.
Do you want green onion and parsley?
Well, sure.
What about hot-pickled mustard root?
- Do other people add it?- Some do, some don't.
Then, I'll have it, too.
Okay.
- Thank you.- You're welcome.
If you don't eat at these food carts, how do you work?
My daily main energy source came from unsanitary food stands by the road.
Jia Ming...
Auntie, it's Jia Yang. He's back.
You've come.
Jia Yang, Xiao Hua has been here for half the day, just to wait for you.
She isn't waiting for me, is she?
- My brother hasn't come home?- Don't mention him.
I am too lazy to mention him. Xiao Hua is here to cook for him, actually.
Then, I'll give him a call.
There's no need to disturb him at work.
What's that you've got in your hand?
Pancake. Snack.
How can you eat stuff like that for supper? How about this?
There is healthy noodle in the fridge. If you don't want those, I will ask Uncle Jin Bao to buy you food.
No, no, no. I just suddenly wanted to eat this.
You never eat food from food carts, why did you suddenly buy from there today?
I just wanted to try it; it's pretty good.
Here, have a taste?
No. I don't find it appetizing looking at it.
Alright, you young people chat among yourselves. I will go check my mail.
Okay.
Don't eat this, it's not hygienic. I'll make something for you.
Okay.
Cheng Jia Yang,
do we have bad blood between us? Why are you treating me this way?
You, freak! Freak! Freak!
- How does spaghetti sound?- Sounds good.
You haven't made me spaghetti in a long time.
Besides you, there's no one who eats the food I cook.
How come I haven't been able to contact you these past few days?
I've been fine. There's something that I still haven't figured out how to tell you.
So how is it going between you and my brother? He hasn't played dumb again, has he?
I'm used to it.
Every year, it has to happen several times.
I already thought about it. Since I love him,
I have to tolerate every aspect of him.
In the future, I won't mention Jia Ming to you.
Things between us shouldn't always involve you.
Let's talk about you. How is your intern's training?
And what about... Qiao Fei?
Is she still making you angry?
Well, Qiao Fei...
I've never met another girl like her.
- You two are completely different.- Jia Yang,
you can't compare every girl to me.
I am different from them. Don't be like your brother.
Don't take just any girl and compare them with me.
What's wrong with you?
Nothing.
Perhaps, I am not in a good mood, so I am a bit sensitive.
- I'll take over.- No, it's fine.
Let's just pretend that it's me thanking you.
I came back to cook for your brother, but it turns out, only you are the one who is eating it.
Actually even if you don't say it out loud, I know.
Besides spaghetti, every thing else I make doesn't taste good.
Did you know? Besides Uncle Jin Bao,
you're the only other person who makes me food. I'm used to it.
You can rest assured that even after I get married in the future,
I'll still invite you to come over to have dinner.
Jia Yang, I've already started accepting other suitors.
I'm in the middle of dates. You need to work hard, too.
Just then, Auntie asked me to introduce a couple of girls.
I'm really busy. I don't have time.
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by the Lost in Translation Team @Viki
Even if you're busy, you need to date. Otherwise, how will you get married?
Don't tell me that you will busy with work the rest of your life.
Stop, let's not talk about this anymore. Is the pasta ready?
I'll go check on it.
You are so good. If there was pancake, it would be even better.
Why did you like pancake all of a sudden?
I don't even know why, I just suddenly wanted to eat it.
That's why I say, Jia Yang,
you're still a child.
How am I still a child?
I was just making a joke.
This joke isn't funny at all.
Jia Yang.
Dad, Mom! There's something I need to do at I.A.I., I'm going back for a bit.
Xiao Hua has left and Jia Yang has gone to work.
Geez, this kid is treating I.A.I. like his home.
But, I.A.I. is not his home after all. Right?
Look at how old he is now. He doesn't even have a girlfriend. He is so busy
that he doesn't even have time to date.
It's good that he is busy. This is the time for him to advance in his career.
As for dating, it is good that it happens later.
It is the best to put his energy at work.
How late do you think is late enough, Old Cheng?
He is almost 30 years old.
He doesn't have a girlfriend. And even if he does have one, it will take a couple years to date.
Can you guarantee that he won't get appointed any overseas jobs in the next couple of years?
Earlier, he brought back a pancake from the food stand by the road.
It really made me upset seeing it.
One day, we will get old. When we are old, who is going to take care of him?
He is so busy at work. He would just make do every day.
What can I do about that?
You can't solve the problem by being worried. He can either go to the cafeteria at work or cook for himself.
Besides, it is good enough that he is able to eat pancake. You are just been a busy body.
Just eating a pancake and you can come up with this kind of thought.
Those two kids are spoiled by you. They can't shoulder or carry anything.
The only thing you haven't done is feeding them rice by putting it right in front of their mouths.
Old Cheng, I am telling you.
I can leave them be with anything,
but I have to be part of my future daughter-in-law selection.
Do you remember your subordinate who is assigned to Belgium? He has a daughter.
I like her a lot. She is such a lady and really sensible.
I am going to introduce her to Jia Yang.
Don't play match-making with the wrong people. That kid is not even an adult yet.
I remember back then... she was only in grade 11.
When you saw her in grade 11, it was 7 years ago.
Right now, the girl is a big girl. She has already graduated from university.
- Fine. Fine.- I am telling you.
Don't you interfere. This girl is suitable. I like her.
Younger generations will do all right on their own.
Fine, then you shouldn't interfere. I will have everything arranged.
- Fei Fei, you have drank too much.- You are the one who drank too much.
You are more drunk than me. I only had 3 beers. You had...
6 beers and plus cocktails
I am telling you. The more cocktails I have, the more clear-headed I am.
- I know this is the I.A.I. Do you know that?- Let's go.
I will take you and go yell at that devil. Let's go!
It is useless to yell. How shameless! You need to give him a lesson.
Wait here. That is his car. The silver one.
Cadillac!
My goodness. This is Rolls-Royce… No, wait. It's Cadillac. Oh my...
- This is way too fancy.- Isn't this BMW? This one.
BMW, huh?
This kind of car means vanity and depravity, you know.
That is right. Driving this kind of car is exactly vanity and depravity.
- I really want to...- Could you...
Could you not act like a loser? How many do you want? I will get it for you. A dozen.
I... I just want this one.
Don't you be such a disgrace. You acting this way...
When you know who came out, he is going to say to me, "Qiao Fei, you only like vanity."
- Hurry. Let's go.- No.- Geez, don't be such a disgrace.
- Don't be such a disgrace.- Ah… Don't touch me!
Hey, stop laughing! The rear-view mirror has broken.
- Hurry and run! Hurry and run!- It's fine.
It's fine.
No. Something is wrong.
Last night, I drank
and ate crayfish.
Qiao Fei! Do we have any hatred or blame? It is only 5:30 a.m.
Let's not talk about this right now.
Tell me, what did I do when I was drunk?
- You really don't remember anything?- Yeah.
After you drank too much, you took my purse and tore up ¥1,000, so you better pay me back. (US$ 150)
I tore up ¥1,000 of yours? (US$ 150)
Have I gone crazy? Why did I have to do that to money as if it was my enemy? That is half of my monthly wage.
That's okay to waste money. Then that's okay.
You didn't tear up money, but you have used violence. You have broken your "you know who."
Who?
The Devil Cheng.
I've broken the Devil?
I've hit him!
I don't need to stay in I.A.I. anymore. Have I hit him hard? Would he sue me? Do I have any criminal liability?
No. No. No. Stop panicking.
The "you know who" I meant is his car, not the person. You've broken his car.
I've broken his car? Is his car expensive?
His car is a Cadillac. It is super expensive.
Super expensive?
How much is super expensive? How much would I need to pay?
I... I... How did I run away last night? I... I... Did I settle everything with him?
Before he discovered, you had already disappeared in the night.
I am that smart?
So he does not know who did it. And you cannot admit it, ever!
I... I shouldn't admit to it?
How can I not admit it? I have broken his car. If I don't say anything, I am not being kind and honest, am I?
His car would have insurance for sure.
Besides,
he is the one who was being unkind first. He thought you were selling "you know what."
He is insulting your character, so you have to do this.
But it is not his car who insulted my character.
If-If I don't admit to it, I won't be able to sleep at night. I will feel remorse.
Could you forget about your remorse and go back to your room? If you can't sleep, take a sleeping pill.
Oh, right. I am telling you. That car is very expensive.
Just a rear-view mirror costs several hundred thousands. Thus, don't admit it regardless of how bad he forced you to. Understand?
- Isn't it only a damn mirror?- No, no, no. His rear-view mirror is high class. It's very expensive. Hurry and go out, please.
Bye! Bye!
What should I do?
This rear-view mirror that you reinforced yourself wasn't enough.
If I had known, I wouldn't have bought such a nice one.
Now, the car dealers have to transfer the replacement from elsewhere.
How could the car of Cheng Jia Yang not have the grandest features?
Stop with your smart talk.
Will your insurance pay for it?
Qiao Fei!
Come here, I need to talk to you.
- I'm going to work now.- Okay.
Director.
My car was broken.
Do you know what I wanted to tell you?
I'm sorry.
How did you know I was going to apologize?
You were going to apologize to me?
I know that you're angry.
I shouldn't have assumed the other day that you would do something immoral for money.
While translating, it is strictly prohibited to assume things.
Assumptions are often wrong.
I can't believe even I would make such a mistake.
I don't understand what you mean.
I was upstairs when somebody broke my car.
I clearly saw somebody's shadow next to my car,
but after I came down, that person disappeared.
Also, I believe that it wasn't only one person; a group of people did it.
What kind of person?
I don't know. Do you know what the insurance company told me?
They said that I'd broken my car myself.
What's the basis of their argument? Pure assumptions. Isn't that aggravating?
It is aggravating.
After this issue, I thought about it.
Don't I treat you the same way?
As your director, I didn't trust in your morals.
I am even more aggravating.
I have made a very subjective mistake, so I apologize.
Will you accept it?
I thought you didn't know how to apologize.
You just made an idealistic mistake.
People can improve; people can change.
I accept your apology.
Then I guess we're over this conflict now.
Oh, right. I accidentally bought too much soy milk.
You take this bag up with you and share it with the other interns.
Thank you, Director.
Why are you just standing there?
Did you go work at Chang Yue again last night?
No...
How much financial burden is your family under?
If you're in that much difficulty, tell us. The people at I.A.I. can help you.
Actually, I...
What?
I'm really grateful for your soy milk, Director.
Director, see you later.
This girl has issues with her linguistic logic. I need to increase her training.
[French] Hello.
Xiao Hua, have some soy milk.
I already had breakfast.
Oh. Here, Mei Mei.
Have soy milk. These are for you.
Isn't this the popular breakfast drink liked by the general public?
I thought you only drank freshly ground coffee.
Pitch-black food. It is nutritious and rich. It is freshly ground soy milk.
Pitch-black food?
It means it can't see the light.
I plan to translate it this way: [French] Pitch-black food.
I think you're pretty happy with your broken car.
Drinking this kind of drink. I bet my French will be better.
Jia Yang, is your car okay?
It's fine. A financial loss may prevent disaster. Good thing it was only the rear-view mirror of my car that had been ripped off.
If it were my ear, then that would be a problem. I wouldn't be able to translate.
Don't say that. Knock on wood.
I'm the only one going to Shenzhen to do the training.
Is that alright?
What then? Xiao Hua is only a guest lecturer.
Between Jia Yang and me, one doesn't look good on the outside. The other is too mean on the inside.
We're not suited to do the training. Director Tian is right to choose you for the job. He has his reasons.
Morning. Teacher Wen.
Director Li, Director Han. These are the leftover soy milk. Everyone says "Thank you," Director Cheng.
- Did you drink any yourself?- I had two bags.
Do you have any work to give to me today?
Go wait for me at the practice room.
Okay. I am leaving, then.
Why do I feel like something's off?
What's off?
You have pleasant countenance towards Qiao Fei.
Jia Yang, you're not yelling at her anymore.
Look at you guys. Am I really that mean?
Of course. All the interns are deathly afraid of you,
so it is making our job easier.
They're all scared that we would push them off to you,
so they all work really hard.
Those two describe me like I'm a demon.
No wonder Qiao Fei calls me Devil.
Perhaps, Qiao Fei is right.
I shouldn't treat the interns too strictly.
I don't like this Jia Yang.
Why not?
Jia Yang, I don't like you being easily changed by others.
Your teaching style is strictness
because you have received elite education growing up.
You are an elite. I.A.I. needs elite.
Qiao Fei is just an intern here. She doesn't understand your style,
so don't be easily changed by her.
Some students are afraid of the course being too difficult, so they try to get close to the director and
to blur the boundary.
I don't like it that way.
Jia Yang, you must not like it, either.
High standards and being strict
are your teaching style.
I have heard not only my interns,
but you all, are afraid of me.
- No.- No.
Perhaps, I normally have asked too much.
Today, I will lower the standard.
An elimination test.
I heard you were sick yesterday. Are you feeling better?
I have heard some rumors.
What rumors?
They all said that
Cheng Jia Yang is picking bone with you on the surface, but secretly with you...
You understand?
Having an affair. I tell you because I see you as my friend.
They said someone overheard Cheng Jia Yang complained about your bed being uncomfortable.
Moreover, you bought breakfast for him. Even I believe it. You didn't, did you?
Today, we will still practice on simultaneous interpretation.
When I call your name, you translate the content on the TV into French.
Ma Ji, you may start.
Chinese people love peace.
[French]...and yearn for beautiful lives.
[French] He's about to act sincerely as a determined strength
[French] for the protection of the world's peace,
[French] the promotion of a sustainable
[French] and orderly development of the global economy.
Yong Qi,
I'm such a bad person.
[French] I am...
Whether you're nice, bad, naughty, getting into trouble, cute, or hateful...
[French] I'm such a bad person.
- [French] Such a bad... - Stop. Next.
Hao Zhe.
[French] Yong Qi, I'm such a bad person.
- [French] Do you still want me ? - I still want you,
[French] whether you're nice, mean or mischievous...
[French] A nuisance, cute or even annoying.
[French] I want you as you are.
Really?
Then give Xia Chang "yi zhang hong".
[French] You...
Stop. Next.
- Qiao Fei.- Huh?
Really?
[French] Really? Then give Xia Chang
[French] the hollyhock flowers.
