[Les Interprètes]
[Episode 17]
You didn't sleep when I told you to sleep.
You'll be too busy to sleep later.
Mr. Cheng, you have experience with these kinds of assignments abroad.
I'm an intern, and this is my first time.
I'm afraid I can't handle this.
Since the Institute sent you on this assignment
it means we acknowledge your abilities.
You're not allowed to let us down during critical times like these.
There are no interns here, only qualified interpreters.
Believe in yourself and believe in me. I'm your mentor.
I never would've thought that when I returned to Switzerland
it would be for such an emergency situation.
I never would've thought that there would be an avalanche on Valle Mountain.
I've been there with Xiao Hua.
It must've been very romantic.
It wasn't romantic.
I loved her, but she didn't love me.
But she did tell me the love story of Valle Mountain.
I can't drive.
You should've waited until your brother was on vacation to come
so that he could've driven you and gone mountain climbing with you.
I've been to Switzerland many times.
But every time I come here, it's not for fun.
Then why did you come?
To see you.
What's there to see?
You should turn around and look at Valle Mountain.
There are many mountains in Switzerland
that are more well-known than Valle Mountain.
Why do you keep asking me to look at Valle Mountain?
You've never heard about the story of Valle Mountain?
No.
It's known as the mountain of pure love.
It's been said that in the olden days
there was a young Swiss man and woman who were in love.
But their families were rivals.
so they met on the top of Valle Mountain
because at the top, there's an open space with a panoramic view.
Lovers would definitely not miss out on it.
Yeah.
On the road of love, the worst mistake would be to pass each other by.
Jia Yang, that's a great saying.
On the road of love, the worst mistake would be to pass each other by.
That's a great saying.
How would you translate that into French?
You must translate it so that it's as refined as it is in Chinese.
That's quite hard.
Because "cuo guo" (pass by) and "guo cuo" (mistake) are inverses of each other.
If we translate them into French--
You don't say! Why would I ask you otherwise?
Hello?
Okay, I understand.
They found some Chinese people trapped on the mountain
and need us to help translate for the search and rescue.
Can you do it?
Yes, I can, Mr. Cheng.
Let's go.
Mr. Cheng! Mr. Cheng! Mr. Cheng!
I've got it!
We can translate that saying as
"On the road of love, the worst mistake would be a brief encounter."
Pretty good translation.
Qiao Fei, be careful!
Mr. Cheng, Ms. Qiao, where are you?
Emergency! Three people have fallen into the valley.
Two translators and one rescue team member.
Emergency! Emergency!
Mr. Cheng.
Mr. Cheng! Mr. Cheng!
Mr. Cheng, what's wrong?
Don't scare me, Mr. Cheng!
Help! Somebody help!
Somebody help!
Cheng Jia Yang, wake up.
Are you all right?
Mr. Cheng.
Don't scare me, Mr. Cheng.
Help!
Mr. Cheng, wake up! Wake up!
Don't die.
I haven't become a permanent employee yet, Mr. Cheng.
Mr. Cheng.
Cheng Jia Yang, wake up! Cheng Jia Yang!
On the road of love, the worst mistake would be to pass each other by.
My name is Qiao Fei. What's your name?
Are you also an exchange student?
You're not fit to be a translator.
Just because you say I'm not fit to be one, I'm not?
What right do you have to jump to that conclusion so soon?
If you keep going on about it, you will affect the interview.
According to the regulations, I can kick you out now.
Are you upset that I gave you zero points?
Now you resort to yelling and screaming?
Cerf-volant. (sounds like "fool" in Shanghainese)
Who do you think you are?
Would the Institute shut down without you?
Would the world stop spinning without you?
- Why are you here? - Why are you here?
I...
You see me as a friend?
There aren't many people who have seen me drunk.
If we aren't friends then I'll have to kill you.
Do you like me?
I like you.
I like bickering with you.
I'm already used to being with you every day, Mr. Cheng.
Don't die.
Wake up! Wake up!
You're awake.
You scared me to death. You scared me to death.
What?
Do you need to make a big fuss over nothing?
I just blacked out.
If I blacked out, you had to give me CPR.
Love is like moving towards hanging oneself.
Passing it by separates life and death.
If you translate it like that, you capture the feeling, understand?
Why do you keep staring at me?
Did you also get pounded by the snow?
Did it mess up your head?
Regarding the Chinese tourists in Switzerland
that everyone is worried about
everything has worked out.
Local Chinese people were able to help with the search and rescue mission.
No Chinese tourists died.
Everyone was rescued.
The earthquake on the Swiss Valle Mountain is over.
Experts say that the chances of an aftershock are small.
Local post-catastrophe efforts are underway.
Mr. Cheng, Jia Yang performed exceptionally well during this incident.
No, you should say that the Chinese millennials
did very well during this incident.
They are a group.
Every Chinese person abroad represents our country.
Yes.
Mr. Cheng, Jia Yang has always brought me regret.
Because of you, he won't work for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
It's not because of me.
That's his own desire.
Because my father is Cheng Si Yuan
I don't want to work here because of my connections.
You think we want you to work here because you're your father's son?
That might not be the case
but that's what others will think.
I understand.
You don't want to depend on you father.
You're very proud and arrogant.
But your arrogance is because you're not that confident.
Why are you scared of Cheng Si Yuan's influence
and afraid that people will talk about you as your father's son?
Why can't it be
that people will talk about your father
as Cheng Jia Yang's father?
Your temper is like your father's.
It's beautiful and peaceful here.
There are no avalanches and no frantic crowds.
After experiencing frantic crowds
and experiencing death
looking at this lake now seems especially peaceful.
Xiao Hua.
You're married.
I think I should bury my feelings for you in my heart forever.
Just like a peaceful mountain
they'll always be beautiful and pure.
Everything is just a hallucination. It must be.
Coming to Switzerland all of a sudden
and experiencing an avalanche
made you hallucinate.
You must have gotten so bothered by Wu Jia Yi
that your brain is starting to have problems.
How could you have fallen for Devil Cheng?
He's Cheng Jia Yang!
You can't love Cheng Jia Yang.
He only has Wen Xiao Hua in his heart.
You have a lot of things on your mind that you don't know how to resolve yet.
Be clear-headed!
You must be clear-headed!
Are you reciting Buddhist scripture?
You seem to be talking endlessly.
So only you get to make a wish? I can't?
I didn't make a wish.
I was just talking to the lake.
I was also talking to it.
About what?
Talking about how you'll be in troubled waters at the Institute in the future?
If the lake could speak, it would say, "You won't be."
Let's go.
How is that possible?
What do you mean?
Nothing.
Why do you keep muttering?
What are you saying?
I'm having a reaction because we're on a plateau.
We're not on a plateau.
A snowy mountain reaction.
This isn't a snowy mountain either.
It's nothing. Let's go.
Hello?
Mr. Cheng, I saw the news.
I know you're in Switzerland
doing your best to help save lives during this disaster.
I think I should also do my best to save lives.
I shouldn't wait around and only save lives during disasters.
I've decided to do the surgery.
Really?
Thank you so much!
Doctor Morey has agreed to do the surgery!
Good job.
I thank you for your outstanding work on behalf of the party and the people.
During a critical time in Switzerland
each of you
displayed the traditional Chinese virtues and glory of helping others in need.
I'm proud of each of you.
You represented China in Switzerland.
During a critical time, you showed
you showed the best characteristics of mankind: kindness and compassion.
Jia Yang, how about it?
You still won't come work for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?
Mr. Liang, you know that.
Bureau Chief, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
shouldn't poach from the Institute.
Mr. Tian is always like this.
Mei Mei, you're getting better and better.
Thank you.
And this is?
Let me introduce you.
This is an intern at our Institute.
Her name is Qiao Fei.
She's quite good at her work.
So I had her go and help out.
Good. It's good that you sent her even though she is inexperienced.
Keep it up!
What did you come here for?
Why didn't you call for a nurse?
They're all busy.
It's not like I'm so injured that I can't get up.
You may rise.
Call him.
Who?
[Morey] You succeeded?
He agreed?
Let me remind you
he just went through throat surgery
so he might not talk that much.
That's okay. That's okay.
As long as he agreed to do the surgery, it's all good!
A big-shot translator really is something.
You can convince anyone.
Since your hand is like that, go rest at home for a few days.
There's no need.
If you're concerned about me, I'll live with you for a few days.
No problem.
But I might get sent abroad.
You've been down for so long, but you're finally going up.
Congratulations.
Keep going down the path towards being an ambassador.
I haven't decided whether to go or not.
That's not the right reaction.
You should be excited right now!
But, now that I think about it...
When I called you that time, I think I heard a woman's voice.
She delicately said, "Stop."
Did I disturb you doing something bad?
You almost caused me to crash my car.
I was driving and you insisted on me translating.
There's something.
What?
You're dating.
Who am I dating?
I can't believe it! I can't believe it!
Big-shot translator Cheng, who only translates
actually got caught up in love.
I can't believe it. I can't believe it.
That's enough. Stop with your nonsense.
I know you well enough.
Help me put this on.
Let us meet her.
I will enlighten her.
Men need to focus on their careers.
Jia Ming, you're misunderstanding.
She's my intern.
Where are you going?
Come with me.
Did you bring any cash?
What are you going to do?
Use it.
How much do you need?
All of it.
Doctor Gao.
How is he?
He was shocked, so the doctor gave him a tranquilizer.
He's asleep now.
I heard you got injured trying to save my husband.
I've been meaning to go see you
but I haven't had the time to.
It's okay.
Now that my husband is gone
there's no one by this child's side anymore.
Since so many things have happened to your family
you must need money. Take this.
No, no, no. I can't take your money.
- Take it. - You've already done too much for us.
Take it, take it. Okay, don't tell me that.
Look at him. Him.
He is Mr. Cheng of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
After he found out about Little Joy's situation
he paid a visit to Swiss medical experts for a consultation
to get a better understanding of Little Joy's situation.
It's actually not--
It's actually not as serious as I thought.
And I will look into Little Joy's surgery with the Swiss medical experts.
This is a donation from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the medical center.
- Take it. - Yes, and this is just a portion of it.
We'll have Doctor Gao give you the rest of the money later.
- How can I thank you? - Ma'am, you don't have to do that.
When his father died we had so much debt.
Ma'am, calm down.
Mr. Cheng is really busy.
He needs to translate Little Joy's medical records and examination results
so that we can communicate with the Swiss medical experts.
You need the medical records? I'll go get them.
Give them to Mr. Cheng.
This is the medical history.
Mr. Cheng is really busy.
He needs to leave, right?
It's like this.
Looking at this report
there is a lot of medical jargon
and a lot of things specific to Little Joy's condition.
We'll need Doctor Gao to explain things to us.
Mr. Gao, can you type with your hand like this?
You can leave that work to me. I can do it.
That's great. Thank you.
Doctor Gao, I'll leave now.
- Bye. - Bye. Thank you.
Mr. Cheng.
Is it good?
It's good.
- Let's take a little test. - What test?
- A test to see who you like. - Okay.
- Take out a piece of paper. - Paper.
And then when I ask a question, just write the answer without thinking.
First, write down a fruit.
A fruit.
- A color. - A color.
- An animal. - An animal.
- A person's name. - A person's name.
The results of your test are...
You like to eat pineapple.
You like the color blue.
You like giraffes.
The person you like is me.
Sir.
What were your results?
Are you talking to me?
I saw that you were playing with us.
Did you write your girlfriend's name?
No.
- I wrote my girlfriend's name. - Oh.
[Apple, gray, tiger, Fei]
Come, look!
Qiao Fei is on TV.
Hurry and see!
Stop watching. What's there to watch?
I can't see it clearly. Play it again!
- Play it again! - Hang on, hang on!
Do you see it?
Qiao Fei!
Qiao Fei, you must give me your autograph.
Now I know someone famous!
Look!
Isn't the handsome man in front the one who often comes to see Qiao Fei?
Qiao Fei, is he your boyfriend?
You just found out? That is her boyfriend.
He always comes to see Qiao Fei.
Stop saying nonsense. He's my mentor.
Mentor? Would a mentor look so deeply into your eyes like that?
Exactly!
I'm his intern.
Of course he needs to watch me.
He's afraid I'll make mistakes.
I'm looking for Qiao Fei.
They told me she was here.
It's not what you think.
What do I think?
Why did you come here?
I...
I came...
I wanted to... to tell you
you've been doing very well lately.
Keep it up.
You came all the way over here just to praise me?
Yes.
Although it doesn't sound like the truth, thank you.
This is the greatest encouragement for me right before the test.
Qiao Fei.
You can go back in.
I'm done.
You just wanted to invite her for dinner!
Is it that hard?
You even bought flowers
when you knew you wouldn't have the guts to give them to her?
Mr. Cheng.
What's that?
I was about to go...
visit the grave of a relative.
You're going so late at night?
That's true.
It's already late.
I'll go another day.
Are you going to throw away the flowers?
- Yes. - Then, can you give them to me?
Okay! I'll give them to you.
It'd be a pity to just throw them away.
Since you're about to take the exam
these flowers are for you, as encouragement.
So you're encouraging me with flowers for the deceased?
I...
That's not what I meant.
It just so happens that these flowers are the same as your name.
Look, they're "songqiao" flowers.
which has the "Qiao" in your name.
These Japanese roses are the most fragrant flowers
so they represent the "Fei" in your name. (Fei can mean rich with fragrance.)
You're forcing it.
But thank you.
Are you free tomorrow night?
Yes, why?
Let's...
work overtime.
Working overtime again?
Fine. You're the boss.
Then... I'll leave now.
See you tomorrow.
Honey, I'm back.
Honey.
I just changed the sheets.
How can you just lie there like that?
Get up. Get up!
- What are you doing? - Get...
Get... get off!
What's with you?
Did I marry an ice princess?
I can't even be intimate with you?
You reek of alcohol.
Hurry and shower.
This is my house.
I can sleep however I want.
What is this weird smell?
Get rid of it!
Come in.
Chief, you were looking for me?
Come in. Have a seat.
I heard that Hao Zhe is taking two people with him.
Did you know about this?
There are two others?
Then why did they take an internship here?
They think that Qiao Fei and you are too close
so she's already gotten the position.
What do you think?
I reckon it's the same as your reaction.
It's hard for people to admit their own failures.
They always find other reasons for their failures.
But since the situation has come to this
we can't just not do anything about it.
What do we do about the residency permit then?
Who knows?
I think Qiao Fei knows about our situation.
I heard her talking to Cheng Jia Yang about a list of names.
Cheng Jia Yang told her to watch us carefully.
No way.
If that's the case, I'm not going to take this.
It's just a residency permit.
Who's coming with me?
Everyone, listen up.
Let's have a short meeting
and talk about a few things.
First, the exam to become a permanent employee is public, fair, and impartial.
No one has already been determined or will get it through connections.
The work at the Institute is extremely important.
No one is stupid enough to accept someone
based on connections, which could cause problems in the future.
Second, after becoming a permanent employee
during your first year of working at the Institute
no one is allowed to have any other jobs.
Any violators will be terminated immediately.
If anyone here cannot accept this condition
then it's pointless to take the test.
You shouldn't take it.
Third, if anyone wants to withdraw from taking the test
then it's best to bring it up now.
If anyone is staying to take the test because of the residency permit
then I'd like to give you some advice.
Your professional abilities
will definitely be negatively affected by your short-sighted goal.
Since you'll be distracted by that, you definitely won't pass the test.
Okay, I've made myself clear.
Mr. Cheng.
In these two envelopes
are recommendation letters for Switzerland's Lu Hua Company.
You can choose to work in Zurich or Shanghai.
The salary is double what Fang Yu is offering.
The working hours are flexible
and there are opportunities for promotions.
If anyone is interested, these are valid until the close of business.
That salary is great!
I'll go.
I'll go too.
For everyone else
I wish you luck on the exam.
Hao Zhe!
What can I do? A wise man submits to his circumstances.
I don't have any sublime dreams.
Fang Yu's offer is still valid.
If you guys want to go, you can contact them yourselves.
Are you not going?
After getting incited like that
I realize that I really like the Institute.
No matter what, I have to thank you.
If it weren't for you
Cheng Jia Yang wouldn't have recommended us to Lu Hua.
If you need to find an excuse for your departure
I'm honored to be your excuse.
Doctor Gao, you were looking for me?
Yes, please help me.
I can't put these in my bag.
How is Little Joy's condition?
He's awake. He's doing well.
Look after him more.
Children are hard to handle.
His father died and he's ill himself.
Doctor Gao, why aren't you going home to rest?
Why are you just wasting your time here?
It's lively here.
I heard you convinced the Swiss doctor.
In two days, he'll come to Shanghai for a consultation.
Here.
Thanks.
Mr. Cheng.
You haven't given me the work for overtime.
Are you in a bad mood?
No.
A little bit.
Why?
I think I keep hurting others without meaning to.
And I keep getting misunderstood.
I don't know why that is.
That's because you care too much about others and not enough about yourself.
In your current frame of mind, you shouldn't be working. Go home.
No, no, I can take it.
I won't let my mood affect my work. Don't worry.
See?
Right now, you care about my opinion of you.
I don't want to go home.
If I see you, I'll feel better.
Is that so?
I was just thinking
all this time, you've been hated by all your interns.
Yet, you're living quite well.
How can I complain?
Are you praising me or wishing me well?
You wish that I will stay the Cheng Jia Yang
who thinks he's infallible?
Let's go.
Where?
I'll take you somewhere.
What's the secret document?
Sit here.
I want to watch a movie with you.
Okay.
Let's play a dubbing game.
I'll dub all the men in the movie.
You dub the women.
Okay.
You want to see what I'm doing?
I'll show you later.
I haven't finished yet.
Why are you crying?
She's watching him
in the warm breeze
under the sun in the garden.
She's watching him.
She's watching you.
The flowers from that day...
I bought them especially for you.
Good!
Vivid and realistic! It was like Romeo and Jul...
Jia Ming.
You guys know each other?
Jia Ming, why are you here?
Not only do we know each other...
we had a thing going for a while, right, darling?
What?
We haven't seen each other in such a long time.
You're not even going to give me a hug?
- You-- - You seduced my brother?
- Jia Ming. - You--
Let her go. Let her go.
This is the Institute. What are you doing?
What is it?
Playing the hero who saves the damsel?
What a coincidence.
I was the hero back then.
How come I've become the bad guy now, Qiao Fei?
I think there's been a misunderstanding between us.
Misunderstanding?
Now that I can't be exploited, I'm a misunderstanding?
For you, I switched from psychology to neurology.
For you, I went to study in Switzerland.
And you? You broke up with me after you took my mother's money.
Now you're around my brother?
What do you want from our family?
I've never taken a penny from your family.
I never asked you to do anything for me.
Jia Ming, calm down.
I think there's definitely a misunderstanding between you two.
Let's sit down and talk, okay?
What misunderstanding?
How can there be so many misunderstandings?
She's a gold digger!
Jia Ming, let her go.
Let her go, okay?
- Get out. - Jia Yang!
This is the Institute. What are you doing?
Go! Let's go!
Are you stupid?
She just wants money!
If you want money, you should've told me. I can help you.
Why did you have to lie to me?
Isn't that the intern, Qiao Fei?
It looks like she took money and broke up with someone.
Do these kind of things really happen?
I don't know how to explain it to you.
You don't have to explain it to me.
You were like this back then.
You pretend to be pitiful
but you're a cheat. A despicable one.
I never cheated you.
Then let me ask you
didn't we use to date?
We've always just been friends.
Friends?
We were just friends?
At that time, I told you that we weren't compatible.
Don't you remember me saying that?
When you took my mother's money
you didn't seem to think we were incompatible.
I've never taken your family's money.
After I went to Switzerland, you took 100,000 yuan from my mom.
Qiao Fei, I don't care about the money.
Really, I don't care about the money.
I just can't stand that someone used my feelings and cheated me.
Did you ever love me?
At that time, I did agree...
I said that we could try getting to know each other and see.
But later I realized we were incompatible.
You realized it too.
We can't get along.
Cheat.
Despicable.
Qiao Fei, go home.
Go home.
It's not what you think.
But I can't explain it clearly right now.
If you don't know what to say, then don't say anything.
Go and prepare for your exam.
What's with your hand?
Go to the hospital and get a cast on it again. Let's go.
We're not done talking yet.
Is this worth losing your hand?
This is the Institute.
Can you stop creating a raucous?
Let's go.
Go!
It's like a nightmare is unfolding right before me.
I thought I had already woken up from this dream.
But in the end, I'm still dreaming.
