Your beloved wife has disappeared
and you're out with another woman?
Ling Yizhou, you're too big a loser to be my friend.
I'm telling you,
if you don't take care of Xia Lin,
I, Chu Yan, will still protect her.
What are you going to threaten him with?
I just want to see him lose the woman he loves
and never be happy.
I've never done anything to him.
I can't figure out why he did this.
The only possible reason is because of you.
A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
EPISODE 18
I need some water.
We don't have any.
Whether you're faking it or not, you'll have to wait.
Pregnant women need more water than normal people.
You wouldn't want anything to happen, would you?
There's a rest stop ahead.
I'll go buy some.
What are you trying to do?
This is a basic physical need.
So...
are you going to sell me abroad?
Don't worry.
The police have sealed the highways.
We can't get off now.
I need to go to the restroom.
Tell me what you're planning to do.
During the first trimester, pregnant ladies need to pee a lot.
I swear on the life of my child,
I won't run away.
Is that...
a gun?
If you behave, we'll be just fine.
I'm not hurting you right now...
but I didn't say I won't hurt Ling Yizhou's child.
-Officer. -Check the security cameras.
-Got it. -You called the police?
-I did. -Did you see this woman?
Yes, that's her.
Please tell us what you saw.
It was like this...
I was in the restroom. A young man came in with his wife.
This is the ladies' room.
I'm sorry. My wife is pregnant.
I'm worried she'll fall.
Be careful. I'll wait for you here.
Don't worry. I just need to borrow some tissues.
Hello, miss. Could I borrow some tissues?
Sure.
Thank you.
I thought it was strange, so I called the police.
Was this the man?
Yes. That's him.
Mr. Wang, we've found him in the security footage as well.
They're heading north in a black SUV.
-Report this to the north exit. -Yes, sir.
We'll start searching north.
Have someone take her testimony.
Yes, sir.
Please come with me.
-Mr. Wang. -This way.
Someone has been covering up Nan Jintian's tracks.
Could this slip-up be an intentional clue they were leaving us?
Have someone search along the highway.
Get another unit to search local roads.
-Yes, sir. -Let's go.
What are you trying to do now, Miss Xia?
Haven't you been watching me?
How would I be able to get past you and ask for help?
Ling Yizhou and the police are searching along the highway.
If you didn't get someone to call the police,
they wouldn't be on to us this fast.
Fine. I did it.
You did it?
You did it...
You did it.
I only promised I wouldn't run away. I didn't say I wouldn't do anything else.
You can't hurt me and the child.
I told you I'd be kind if you behave.
But...
no matter how hard they search...
they won't be able to find us here.
Why?
Are you sad that I tricked Ling Yizhou?
They'd never think that I'd head backwards.
I have to thank you.
You added a lot of dramatic effect
to this play I'm directing right now.
You let them find us on purpose.
As a friend, if you want to act, of course I have to help you.
Showing your face like that, what if they put you on the wanted list?
After this, I'll go abroad.
Want to come with me?
You're a lunatic.
You're pregnant. You should stay in a good mood.
I need to find another way.
Ling Yizhou. Even though you haven't got your memory back yet,
you don't hate me as much now, do you?
Never mind. Don't answer that.
The truth will probably make me sad,
but I don't want you to lie to me.
I'll give you a ride tomorrow.
You're so nice, hubby.
I have to leave this place before Nan Jintian makes his next move.
I can't give him another chance to trick Ling Yizhou.
This fruit is for you.
Tongtong.
Let's chat.
He doesn't like it when I talk to you.
Why?
Because you get ideas.
Then have some fruit with me.
I can't eat this much anyway.
You like Nan Jintian?
No, I don't.
I admire him and respect him.
Women always fall in love with those they admire.
To me, Ling Yizhou is the most amazing man in the world.
It's nothing to be ashamed of.
You're still young.
Why are you limiting yourself?
When I told you my story, I wasn't completely lying.
My father did owe money to the loan sharks.
He gave me to them as payment...
and ran away.
Mr. Nan paid off the debt for me.
So, from that day on, I decided to serve him.
Tongtong, you should be in college right now.
You should be happy and carefree at school,
not running around like a fugitive with Nan Jintian.
As long as he needs me, I won't leave him.
Are you happy following him around?
I...
Mr. Ling.
Mr. Wang just called.
They didn't find Nan Jintian at any highway checkpoint.
We can be sure that he's still in the city right now.
Keep investigating him.
I need to know all the properties he owns in the country.
All the people he knows.
Everything about him.
Yes, sir.
NAN JINTIAN
Do you remember the last time you smiled?
Even if you became my assistant for the wrong reasons,
I could feel that you were happy when you were with me.
Right?
Yes.
I'll never be able to live like that again.
But that's not important.
Alright. I can't change your mind. I give up.
Why didn't I ever notice that you're so stubborn?
You're like a mule.
Xia Lin, I should apologize to you.
I know that you cared about me genuinely.
I'm the one in the wrong.
It's fine. You're just following your heart.
Between me and Nan Jintian, you chose him.
Even though I don't know why Mr. Nan is doing this...
I can tell that he doesn't want to hurt you.
I've changed my mindset.
This all happened because of the feud between Nan Jintian and Ling Yizhou.
We're not the main characters.
My most important task here
is to take care of myself and the baby.
I don't have the energy to care about anything else now.
Really?
Of course.
That's great.
Tongtong, I'd like some warm water.
Could you get me some?
Warm water? Sure.
Why did you lock the door?
Open the door!
-What's her passcode? -Give me my phone.
Mr. Nan is coming.
Open the door!
What's going on?
She took my phone and locked the door.
I'm sorry.
Step aside.
Are you misbehaving because I was too nice to you?
Apologize.
Say you're sorry.
Beg for forgiveness and I won't hurt you.
You should apologize.
Xia Lin.
Why do you have the courage to keep testing my limits?
Because we're friends.
Get over yourself.
You're just one of my pawns.
You know it.
I treated you as my friend. That's why you don't want to hurt me.
You'd cast me aside for Ling Yizhou without even hesitating.
I don't need a friend like you.
Nan Jintian, you're a coward.
You're afraid of being abandoned, so you've abandoned everyone first.
You fear loneliness more than anyone else.
Yes. You're right.
But my main act hasn't even started yet.
Of course I don't want you to die.
If Ling Yizhou saw you like this right now,
-What would he do? -Let go.
My game isn't over yet.
When I'm done, I'll let you see him.
Before that...
you'd better not change my script.
Or else you'll regret it.
Have you seen a cat with a mouse before?
Cats love playing around with mice.
But those stupid big cats...
always let the mice get away.
I'm different though.
I have you as a weapon.
So I can enjoy...
the sensation of manipulating Ling Yizhou.
If I didn't bring you home,
who knows who we'd see you with in the news tomorrow?
How will you explain this to Xia Lin when she gets back?
I regret it.
What do you regret?
I shouldn't have approached Mumu in the first place.
I was greedy.
I ruined her life.
That's enough of that.
Can't you be clearer when you talk?
Nan Jintian only came back after Mumu and I got married.
His target has always been me.
If his target is you,
why isn't he torturing you instead of Xia Lin?
Don't you understand?
Only by attacking someone's weakness can you really defeat them.
Mumu is my weakness.
I have another theory.
Maybe he's always loved you.
So he wants to get rid of all the women by your side.
He even got rid of An Ran.
Then why didn't he get rid of you?
I did disappear for a while.
But you didn't steal his company or his woman.
You even gave him a stepmother. Why would he hate you?
From what I know...
he's probably doing this to avenge his biological mother.
I'm fine now. You can leave.
Are you going to dump me after using me?
I haven't stayed in your guest room here before.
Let me stay the night.
Thanks, brother.
Ugh... That's enough.
You'll get Xia Lin back soon.
Then, I'll get to meet my godson.
I'm telling you, stop thinking about my wife.
And don't think about my son either.
You're thinking too much.
What's going on?
She didn't want to eat.
Let her starve for a meal or two.
But she also didn't eat this morning.
So annoying.
I'm not Ling Yizhou.
I won't play your childish games with you.
I'm not trying to cause you trouble.
Please don't trouble me as well.
Don't try to make me pity you.
I won't let you starve to death or die of dehydration.
You're the star of my show.
How could I let you exit the stage so soon?
Eat.
What if I don't eat?
I'm going to see Ling Yizhou in a few days.
I wouldn't mind sending him a piece of you.
You're busy running away from him. Why would you go meet him?
Why not?
Oh, I forgot to tell you.
I sent him a present a few days ago.
What?
Your ultrasound pregnancy scan.
I'm kind of sad that
I didn't get to see the expression on his face.
So this time, I need to go see it in person.
I can send him a message from you, if you have anything to say.
I don't.
Eat your food.
Don't test my patience.
I'll eat.
But I have one request.
What?
I want paper and colored pencils.
If you don't let me out,
I should at least have something to help pass the time.
What are you trying to do?
Apart from acting and being beautiful,
I also have a lot of hobbies.
One of them is drawing.
You can ask Yang Tong if you don't believe me.
Very well. I look forward to seeing your masterpieces.
This bear is you?
I'm not good at drawing people, so I draw cartoon figures.
These two are more realistic.
What about that one?
Idealistic.
This is my ideal home and life.
Can I have this one?
If I say no, you won't take it?
Don't worry. I'll put this to good use.
Hello?
Let's meet up. Just the two of us.
Cell reception is bad here. They won't be able to contact you for a while.
If they want to find me, they'll find me.
It's the same when I want to find someone.
I heard that my company
has been stealing business from Lingshi.
They don't know how we're related.
I apologize for them.
You should be sincere with your apology.
Tell me where Xia Lin is.
Are you worried about her?
I like to deal with problems the fastest way.
Give me Xia Lin, I'll give you anything you want.
Xia Lin is your woman.
Why are you asking me for her?
I just came here today to catch up with you.
If anything happens to Xia Lin...
you and the Nan family will go down with her.
This trip has been worth it.
I remember the last time you were this mad. I think it was...
on your eighth birthday.
My best friend drew this today.
Take a look.
It's Mumu's handwriting.
Bears, clothes, a TV.
What do these things mean?
Our date.
Mumu remembers the details of our date,
but she missed something.
We don't have to rush to do those things
or else we won't be able to enjoy life.
Those things will lose their meaning as well.
But I want to go see dolphins.
If we can't go this time, we'll go next time.
I'll take you out to sea.
You promise?
Then I want to see the sunrise and sunset, too.
Mr. Wang, I know where Mumu is.
Let go of me!
I'll let you meet the person you've been missing.
Didn't you draw that picture
to send Ling Yizhou a message through me?
If you knew, why did you still give it to him?
Didn't I tell you?
When I've had enough fun,
I'll let you see him.
Now, as the director, it's time for me to take a bow.
He's almost here.
Aren't you worried he'll bring the police with him?
The police? They're probably stuck in traffic.
You know how terrible the traffic in Gangdong is.
You set it up.
I just didn't want to be disturbed by nobodies.
I still don't understand.
Why did you do all of this?
No rush.
You'll understand in a moment.
Nan Jintian!
That was faster than I expected.
Weren't you waiting for me?
Ling Yizhou, leave. This is a trap. Just leave me!
Mumu, don't worry. I'll bring you home.
Did I tell you to move?
I told you to come here.
But I didn't say you could take her with you.
I'm here already.
I won't leave without her.
Ling Yizhou... I'm the one who calls the shots here.
You're just a mouse, being played around with by the cat.
I'm really impressed by the suicidal recklessness you possess.
I think that...
you're more like the rat everyone hates right now.
Ling Yizhou!
Are you trying to provoke me? With a gun in my hand?
Aren't you worried my finger will twitch?
Yang Tong, help me record all this.
I promised you
that we were going to send a gift to our mother.
Nan Jintian,
if you're trying to avenge your mother,
you should take it out on the person who ruined your family.
If you think that I should pay for my mother's actions,
then come at me.
Leave Mumu alone. She's innocent.
How do you know I didn't avenge her?
If that woman hadn't brainwashed my dad...
would I have no home to return to?
So...
you came to hurt me because you couldn't hurt her.
Now I know how powerless you are.
Me? Powerless?
Ling Yizhou, did I hear you correctly? You're saying I'm powerless?
Ling Yizhou.
You can't even protect your own woman. And I'm the powerless one?
You have no right to say that.
You're just a tool I'm using to get revenge.
Over all these years, I've been thinking,
how can I hurt that woman even more?
Then I found out that she still cares about you.
This is a birthday present for you, Yizhou.
I didn't get any in the past. I don't need one now.
She abandoned that child.
But she still cares about him so much.
Which is why your pain
is also her pain.
Then why did you drag Mumu into this?
You should have just come after me.
Because I found out...
that you're just like your mother.
For love, you can sacrifice everything.
But her love for my father... ruined my life.
So I...
I'm going to ruin your life, too.
No!
Nan Jintian. Without a gun, you're just a coward.
-Ling Yizhou! Let go! -Xia Lin. Stay here.
Game over.
Ling Yizhou!
Are you OK? Ling Yizhou!
I'm fine.
No. That's not right.
That's not the ending I wrote.
Why did you change my script?
Xia Lin should be lying in your arms.
You'll suffer your whole life.
And that woman will rot in hell.
You've got your revenge. Let her go.
Fine. If you like changing my script so much,
let's change it completely then.
You can die together.
As long as my family's together,
I'm not afraid of anything.
Nan Jintian. Do it.
Sure.
Sir, the police are here.
You go. I'll take responsibility.
I'll let your mother know you're dead.
I'll tell her in person.
After that, we'll finally be even.
Goodbye then.
I'm sorry, Xia Lin.
Ling Yizhou.
Mumu.
Promise me you'll carry on with your life.
No.
How can I live without you?
We have a baby now.
You wouldn't want the baby...
to never see his father.
Ling Yizhou! Please don't leave us.
Ling Yizhou...
Wake up.
Ling Yizhou. Wake up.
Pidan...
you miss Mumu, too, right?
Subtitle translation by Sophie Chang
Dr. Wang,
tell me the truth.
Will he wake up?
It's possible, but it would be a miracle.
Lingshi Group shareholders are calling on the board
to remove Ling Yizhou as CEO.
Those bastards.
They're already trying to take over the company.
You mean that
someone wants to take over Lingshi while Ling Yizhou is unconscious?
I can't let Yizhou and his father's hard work be stolen.
