[Can't Buy Me Love]
Episode 32
We come with a cry, we go with a smile.
To preserve diplomatic relations with Tibet
the Kams must die.
Someone framed Dor Luk.
I'll succeed soon.
Are Tibetans stupid and unreasonable?
How dare you!
What you saw is the seal of the Turkish Emperor.
According to the scouts, Gar Tongtsan will return to Tibet today.
The route remains unchanged.
He leaves the city gate at one o'clock via On Yip, Sung Yip, Wing Tat, Tao Tak...
and finally through Ming Tak Gate. Then they will leave Cheung On.
There are shops and street stands on both sides.
The streets are bustling with people.
We'll ambush him here.
If Gar Tongtsan is murdered within Tang boundaries
the bastard Emperor must be accountable.
He'll never get out of this deadlock.
With Princess Chiu Yeung and Ng Sz Tak as your amulets
this is a sure win for us.
They walked right into our trap. We'll hold onto them as a contingency.
Even Heaven is on our side.
- Master! - What is it?
[Wan Loi Inn]
We're supposed to meet at noon. What's taking them so long?
Where are Chiu Yeung and Sz Tak?
- Are you Miss Ngan Ping? - Yes.
- This is for you. - Thanks.
Yau Wai!
I heard the Kams have been executed for treason. Is that true?
All six of them are dead.
This is all my fault.
How could it be your fault?
The Princess couldn't help them, let alone you.
Listen, this is a conspiracy of the Turks.
The Turks? What conspiracy?
How do you know?
Why are the Kams involved?
I'm Turkish.
Don't say that, it's not funny.
Law To Yuen is Turkish.
I have Turkish blood.
No way! You're lying...
Calm down, Ngan Ping.
I want you to look after my parents so I can report this to His Majesty.
You won't get that chance.
Who are you?
I'm a Turk as well.
Master was right about you.
He gave the order to kill you on the spot once you set foot inside Cheung On.
Watch out!
Be careful, Ngan Ping.
Ngan Ping...
Law To Yuen, what are you doing?
Yau Wai is my son.
Considering our friendship, please let him go.
No! This is a matter of national security.
I guarantee he'll keep quiet.
Only the dead can keep quiet.
Ting Yau Wai must die.
Wong Meng! I saved your life once.
You still owe me a favor.
Yes, I owe you my life.
I'll kill myself after I kill Ting Yau Wai.
I won't let you.
What about those who died in the Tibetan Palace?
And those who died on the battlefield?
Those are lives too! Do they deserve to die?
What's more important? Your country or your family?
Yau Wai, run!
Between family and country, I choose my son.
Father! You'll be fine.
Hang in there Father.
Yau Wai, I can finally hear you call me.
My good son...
Father...
The ambassador is leaving.
Look at the entourage.
The carts are full of gold, Chinese herbs, and fabrics.
It's such an honor for us.
[Ming Tak Gate]
Arrows!
Shoot!
Get up!
His Majesty, the Emperor!
Kam Dor Luk? You should be dead!
I have the power to execute someone as well as to revive him.
Such a brilliant plan, Your Majesty.
Tibet has an anesthetic made from azalea nectar.
If you mix it with wine
it can cause muscle spasms and dyspnea
reduce heart beat and suspend animation.
I asked them to fake their deaths
to convince the real instigator his plan had failed
so I could lay a trap.
Yuman Kit, I didn't expect it was you.
Yuman Kit is only an alias I use.
My real name is Ashina Shabi.
I'm the Qaghan's fifth son.
I'm not afraid to die.
One dead Prince for the Qaghan means one dead Princess for you.
No... make that two.
What are you saying?
I'm talking about your precious Chiu Yeung
and your adopted daughter, Ng Sz Tak.
Where are they? Tell me!
If you confess, I may consider sparing your miserable life.
Hurry up and tell me.
They're trapped in a place that will kill them.
No food and no water.
They'll be eaten by wild dogs and wolves.
You won't even find their corpses whole!
I'll tear you to pieces if you won't confess.
You won't get that chance.
Don't waste your strength, Sz.
This temple is on the peak, and has been abandoned for years.
Are we going to die here?
It's been a week since Dor Shau's death.
I can meet him in Hell.
We'll be together again.
Not if you kill yourself.
Dor Shau is still alive.
The poisonous wine was just an anesthetic.
Are you sure? Who told you?
My father.
Flowers don't wither because they are heartless.
Everything I did was to protect you.
I didn't give the Kams poisonous wine.
It was an anesthetic from Tibet.
They're still alive.
Why?
Gar Tongtsan and I agreed that someone is behind the incident.
Someone is trying to start a war between our countries.
We set a trap to catch this person.
The enemy is in the dark.
I don't know who's the traitor, and who I can trust.
That's why I didn't tell you, in case we alerted the enemy.
Chiu Yeung, you can still be with Dor Luk.
You went along with the plan and cursed Gar Tongtsan in public.
That was just an act?
The Kams are safe but we're in trouble.
I still can't be with Dor Luk.
You both love each other, just like me and Dor Shau.
I'm sure Heaven will look out for us and won't have the heart to keep us apart.
If the Kams can stay alive, I'm sure we'll be fine.
Think again, Yau Wai.
Did Law To Yuen mention to you where they keep their prisoners?
Secret chambers or villas?
Huts in the countryside, or caves?
No! I only know about the secret chamber in his garden.
His Majesty already turned his house and Yuman Kit's villa upside down.
The Princess is nowhere to be found.
Where could they be?
I'm really worried.
They won't last three days with no food and water.
His Majesty dispatched all his men, but there has been no news.
That damn Turk! He'd rather die than confess.
Nobody knows where they are.
I know.
Grandma?
What are you doing here?
- Grandma. - What do you know, Grandma?
You know where they are?
You bet!
I went sightseeing, but the soldiers arrested me.
They said the Kams had been executed!
Then they changed their minds, and said everything is fine.
So they escorted me home instead.
I bet you clowns are too bored.
You played a trick on Grandma and made up an excuse to bring me home.
'There's light at the end of a tunnel.'
One should be content, even in poverty.
Why be jealous of the rich?
Nothing fazes me as long as we're together.
You found my paper dragonflies?
Every time I run into a setback, these sayings cheer me up.
You have been my pillar of support all along.
Somehow we made a connection already.
This is our fate.
It takes 100 lifetimes for us to be married in this life.
You must hang in there, don't give up.
I don't want to give up either.
But I have no choice...
My days are numbered.
I'm sorry you had to live without a wife.
I hope these paper dragonflies can reach you.
Until we meet again, Dor Luk...
Chiu Yeung, I know where you are.
I know where you are!
Princess...
Are you all right?
Get up...
It's me! I came to save you!
Dor Luk... you're finally here!
I'm glad you're here. I missed you.
Princess, you're dreaming!
I knew you'd come for me.
Wake up, Princess! It's only an illusion.
Dor Luk...
Princess!
I see paper dragonflies every September.
But there's none today.
This is the third day.
Chiu Yeung, where are you?
You promised we'd meet again.
You must not go back on your word.
I won't allow it.
Are you all right, Granny?
I sprained my ankle, I can't walk.
Where do you live?
Over these hills.
I'll be fine after I get some rest.
By then the sun will have gone down.
It's hard to walk in the dark. Let me carry you home.
Really? Thank you so much, young man.
You're welcome! Be careful!
Few people come out here. I'm lucky to run into you.
Are you tired? You need a break?
I live over these hills.
We'll be there in an hour.
You'll be rewarded for your kindness.
Paper dragonflies?
Granny, I'll let you down. Be careful.
Chiu Yeung's paper dragonflies.
Chiu Yeung must have sent these.
If we have northwesterly wind, these came from the northwest.
We should head towards that direction.
If we have southeasterly wind, we should look in the southeast.
That's totally wrong.
Chiu Yeung sends out paper dragonflies each year on the eighth of September.
I pick them up at Breezy Col.
I'm sure it's southeasterly wind.
But today is not the eighth.
What if we have unstable wind?
The paper dragonflies are our only lead.
'Neither living nor dead, neither clean nor dirty.'
'Form is emptiness, the very emptiness is form.'
What does that mean?
'Emptiness does not differ from form.'
The same is true of feelings, perceptions
impulses, and consciousness.
- Grandma, you know this? - What are you reciting?
The Heart Sutra.
You should read more books.
You're too lazy and won't listen to me.
This is a scripture.
Chiu Yeung is locked up in a temple.
So what? Every temple has a copy of the Heart Sutra.
Not like this one.
Look... the paper is yellow and dirty and there are holes.
They are probably from moths, or even mice.
What does that mean?
Scriptures in temples are usually well kept, nothing like this.
That means nobody looked after these books.
Nobody cared there were moths or mice.
Nobody goes there to worship.
That means the temple is...
Abandoned.
Since the new Fat Wah Temple on Shiliu Shanwas was built
the old temple has been abandoned.
They're probably locked up in there.
I told you I knew.
- Princess! - Sz!
- Princess! - Chiu Yeung!
- Sz! - Sz!
Princess!
Don't scare me, Princess.
- Chiu Yeung! - Princess...
- Sz! - Princess!
- Open your eyes, Sz! - Wake up!
Don't go, Sz!
Don't die on me!
- Princess! - No, Princess...
Come back...
Princess...
She's coming around...
She's coming around! She's awake!
Are you all right? It's me, Princess.
- Dor Luk... - Princess!
- She's fine! - Chiu Yeung!
- She's awake! - She's awake!
- I'm so glad. - Am I dreaming?
You're not dreaming.
You're fine... she's fine!
Sz is awake too.
- Sz! - Are you awake, Sz?
Sz... it's me, Dor Shau.
Must be an illusion.
No, it's not an illusion. It's me... feel it.
It's warm, and soft... a hot birthday bun!
You're awake?
Dor Luk!
I found you, thanks to the paper dragonflies.
I didn't expect you to find them.
That's the way things work.
They happen when you least expect them to.
I never expected to marry a Princess.
I never expected it was you who sent the dragonflies I have collected over years.
I never expected us to be attached to each other or that I would someday lose you.
When Yuman Kit told me you had no food or water, I felt my heart aching.
I watched you die from the poisonous wine.
I thought I'd die in the temple, and I'd never see you again.
I lost you twice.
What's so funny?
Why do you always beat me?
You tied me up at the tea house.
I divorced you with the seven rules but you stuck around with the three exceptions.
You even beat me in the times we've lost each other.
The pain of losing the one you love is unspeakable.
If there's to be a third or fourth time, I'd rather it happened to me.
I can't bear to see you in such pain.
You must be hungry.
Mixed grain congee?
Wrong! One portion of peony radish, two portions of minced meat
three portions of sincerity, and four portions of love.
It's Prince Dor Luk's congee.
I added grounded sweet corn
wheat, peanuts, red beans, soy beans, and pea beans to mixed grains
made up of 70% white rice, 20% brown rice, and 10% sticky rice.
I used water from a stream and not the well.
I boiled it three times and baked it three times
and added frog meat on the third time, each piece the size of a finger tip.
Peony radish is nourishing, the frog meat adds to the taste.
Try it.
Delicious!
I'm making up for standing you up.
I sat here for a few hours.
Birthday buns, fresh from the oven.
The bun...
[Sz]
I asked Master Shum to put it in.
I don't mind extra work for a good customer.
Enjoy!
Thank you.
I wanted to propose to you last time, and brought along an engagement gift
but I was robbed.
I came here today to finish what I started.
Will you be my wife?
If you agree, the birthday bun will be our token.
I have never heard of using a birthday bun as an engagement gift.
Do you mind?
I'm from the countryside.
All I ask is to be clothed and fed.
Now that I have food on the table, and someone dependable
what more can I ask for?
I thought an engagement gift was supposed to be romantic.
Something you can look at.
The birthday bun will be gone after I eat it!
There's more to a bun...
It's the same as the one we won from the contest!
Only the style is the same.
This has much better craftsmanship, and is made of pure gold.
It stands for my undying love for you.
The bun is meaningful indeed.
It's a bit corny, but I like it.
I'm getting married!
Shum Lap Keung is the eldest son of the owner of the fabric store.
He's quite a handsome man.
He's a gifted painter with enormous talents.
Think about it.
You want to find me a husband?
You're like a sister to Chiu Yeung.
That makes you part of the family.
I feel awful that you're not talking to Yau Wai.
Since you hate Turks, there's no way you will marry him.
Choi Wong just came back from Yangzhou.
I'm meeting them here to discuss canceling the wedding.
I'll do the talking for you.
I'm glad we came just in time.
I thought you were welcoming us back, but you're taking advantage of me.
Sit down and listen to me.
I'm warning you, forget about finding her a husband.
She's attached to Yau Wai.
I won't let you steal her away.
But Yau Wai is a Turk, it'll never work.
It will if they love each other.
You have nothing else better to do? Or have you gone mad?
Turks are cruel savages. She can't marry him.
Yau Wai is nothing like that.
He grew up here. He's a filial son and a loyal friend.
He's a patriot. He's not like other Turks.
Good!
See? I told you Ngan Ping doesn't mind that Yau Wai is a Turk.
You were right!
- You're in on this? - Yes!
Ngan Ping!
Yau Wai!
You don't mind?
If Tang people can be robbers, I'm sure there are good Turks.
You can't judge a person by his race.
You'll marry me?
Yes!
Thanks, Aunt Loi Hei!
What about us?
Thanks, Father and Mother!
Good boy!
One for each of you... be prolific.
Grow old together and have more children.
I want grandchildren after you put this on.
Have as many as you like, I can afford up to 10 grandchildren.
Good!
I didn't get one when I got married.
We won't forget you, Siu Yuk.
Gold is the one thing we have the most.
Thank you, Mom Loi Hei.
Good!
It's pretty!
The Imperial Astronomer.
Princess! Prince Dor Luk! Hello, everyone.
Hello, Imperial Astronomer.
His Majesty sent me to deliver three presents for the newly weds.
Wishing you all to love each other and grow old together.
Please thank His Majesty for us.
Thanks to your recommendation, Princess, I've been named Imperial Astronomer.
Pok Yat Pok, you foresaw the Kams enjoying great wealth
and knew we'd land on our feet.
You deserve the appointment.
Though I was divorced from the Princess
His Majesty gave his blessing for us to re-marry.
Your prophecy was fulfilled.
I was destined to have two wives.
We just didn't know the two wives were the same person.
That's only half the prophecy.
You said Dor Luk's second wife will bear him children.
Look! Someone is going to faint.
Not me!
It's the Princess.
Princess... Are you all right?
- How do you feel? - Go get Doctor Mok.
No, I'm fine.
- Nothing must happen to you. - That's right.
How do you feel?
I feel nauseous, but it's normal.
Nausea is normal?
Chiu Yeung, are you...
Yes, Mother.
You're pregnant?
Pok Yat Pok is most effective!
Now you should believe him.
It's time for the spirit of the Kams.
The spirit of the Kams...
Happy adults, abundant children!
We'll live happily ever after!
Time flies when you have a good time.
A heart of gold is better than giving out gold.
A broad mind is better than a broad house.
The earth is no bigger than the beams in your house.
Tai Mui, hold hands with Yee Mui. Don't let her run around.
Yee Mui, watch your twin sisters.
They're bouncing around.
I beg of you... follow your sisters.
Please follow your sisters, don't get lost.
Girls, stand still!
Let me hold him.
Only you can control them.
They bully you because you're a pushover.
Son, when you grow up
there'll be more masculinity around and I can hold my ground.
Don't forget this one.
Tai Mui, hold your sister's hand.
Are you ready? We're late.
Hurry... don't make them wait.
- Coming... - Be careful!
Be careful, Ngan Ping! Take it easy...
Mother, we're dressed up like this to congratulate Dor Shau?
Won't people say we're too arrogant?
It's not very nice to steal the spotlight.
Everyone in Cheung On knows the spirit of the Tings.
We always dress up in matching outfits.
From now on, we need fabrics for six.
People will be jealous of our lineup.
He's becoming more like you.
A gold peach for birthdays to wish for everlasting youth.
It's the grand opening of Kam's seventh store.
It's even more exciting than Kam's Gold.
You're right!
A gold peach for longevity.
A gold rice bucket for prosperity.
The customers like auspicious meanings.
Stop chatting, get to the temple fair.
Dor Fook and Dor Luk are waiting for us.
Don't be late.
This is exciting, Mother.
Did you know I first met your Father
at the temple fair on Double Seventh Festival?
Really? How was it?
It's Heaven's will we met on the seventh of July
at the lantern fair outside the temple.
I was attracted to Father's talents
then we went for a boat ride and pledged our love.
I recited a poem when we parted.
I'm firm like a bedrock.
I'm strong like a reed.
The bedrock will never change.
Safflowers in bloom come to my house.
The seeds of love sown by dragonflies.
I miss you and long for you like crazy.
If you're unhappy, remember the lines.
When we're apart, bring us back together.
Our love will never change, like dragonflies.
I miss you and long for you like crazy.
If you're unhappy, remember...
I didn't expect our dragonfly romance
to be on everyone's lips, and became a trend.
It's still going strong after all these years.
Love will never change, like dragonflies.
You rascal, I caught that dragonfly first.
I'll give it to you.
I think I'm in love with you.
Remember this dragonfly.
Let's go, Honey.
Yes, Mother.
Somehow we made a connection, I'll find you.
Let's celebrate, don't waste your time.
Let's clap, hold your hands.
My grandchildren make me so happy.
Grandma! Great Grandma.
Grandma! Mother!
- Good girl. - Dor Luk! Chiu Yeung!
Jade and gems can't buy this beloved daughter.
Gold and silver mines can't buy the safety of the family.
How befitting!
Dragonflies bring joy on the seventh of July.
We have a big family and I love my daughters.
Abalone and peony radish can't compare with grinning all the time.
Fancy clothes and heavy makeup can't compare with all the rice you can eat.
Stringed music can't compare with being happy and content.
A prosperous future can't compare with a good wife and filial son.
A fairy is not as happy as I am.
Messages carried by the dragonflies make everyone happy.
The spirit of the Kams has become a countless amount of words.
Isn't that great?
The spirit of the Kams...
happy to help others.
The spirit of the Kams... happy to help others.
Love each other despite the distance.
