I Can See You Shine (2024) s01e08 Episode Script

1
Happy Christmas.
Sheng.
I like you
So so so much.
So much that I don't know what to do.
But I don't want it anymore.
So, stay away from me.
Because I'm such a stubborn,
Selfish,
And horrible girl.
Even I find myself really annoying.
So, leave me alone.
Anyway, love is a lie.
Why haven't you
Shown your feelings?
Love or not, speak it out or not
Am I the only one guessing?
This is not a competition
To see who runs faster
It's so hard to say "I love you"
Why am I still waiting to see
（Ep.8 True Lovers）
Mom.
Hm?
I want to put on makeup when I perform.
Okay.
You still haven't made peace with Tung?
Who cares about her?
Call her.
I did.
She didn't answer.
Tung
is quite stubborn.
Don't blame her.
Something like this happened to her mother
And everyone knows about it.
She must feel quite embarrassed.
Don't tell anyone.
Or it'll sound like I'm gossipy.
I know.
But listen to me.
Don't be angry with her.
Try call her again.
Why?
Why?
Why am I always the one who don't understand her?
Why do I always make peace with her first?
Why am I always the one who forgive her first?
Why am I always the generous one?
Always the idiot?
That's why she thinks I'm stupid.
Hey.
Tung doesn't think you're stupid.
Yes, she does.
She said it herself.
She always thinks she's better than others.
She says she's an alien
And we people on Earth are inferior.
If it weren't for me back then,
She'd still have no friends.
You've said that many times.
Don't keep saying that.
You make it sound as if
You made friends with her
Because you pitied her.
This
is a very bad attitude, you know?
I didn't say anything wrong.
Back then was Tung
Really that unpopular?
She wasn't unpopular.
It was just she didn't have much to say to others.
The things she liked were different.
Young,
listen.
When I first arrived in Taiwan,
Sometimes when Dad was chatting to his friends
Or when I heard him chatting to the customers
They were chatting
So happily that
They laughed out loud.
I laughed with them too.
But in fact,
I had no idea what they were talking about.
Just because they laughed
I laughed too.
Or it'd feel strange.
Back then your Chinese wasn't very good.
No.
I knew no one.
Apart from your dad, I had no friends.
Because my Chinese was bad
I didn't dare to go shopping.
And for a while,
I hid myself at home.
I didn't dare to go out at all.
Why did you never tell me about these?
Oops
Listen.
At that time,
I felt
I was like an alien.
I was so afraid of being found out, you know?
Tung is different from you.
She's never afraid of being herself.
She never cares about what others think.
Sometimes, I feel she doesn't need me at all.
Is that true?
But when you're always alone,
You'll feel lonely.
Mom.
Are you homesick?
Of course, I am.
When I first arrived,
I got so homesick
That I cried.
I hid myself and cried.
I didn't want your dad to know.
But now it's different.
This is my home.
Vietnam is your home too.
Yes.
Hey.
I haven't been back for Lunar New Year for ages.
For how long?
Since you were born.
So long?
Hm.
The flight tickets are very expensive.
No need to save that money.
This winter vacation
We'll all go to Vietnam for Lunar New Year.
Then
You'll have to talk to your parents.
Or they would be very unhappy.
No, they won't.
We'll take them to Vietnam to visit their in-laws.
We'll go on a family trip.
Dad, you're so cool!
Of course, I am.
We'll book the flight tickets straightaway.
You can't regret it.
I absolutely won't.
Book the hotel too.
It's cheaper to book them together.
Tung.
It's alright if you don't want to come home.
At least let me know where you are.
Are you safe?
Or I'll call the police.
If you don't want to leave me a message,
At least call Young.
Let me know you're safe.
Hello Young?
Hello?
This is Ms. Kuo.
Tung has gone missing.
Is she with you?
Dad, Mom.
Tung has gone missing.
Come on, I'm going to look for her.
Hurry up.
Hello, what's up?
Tung is missing.
What?
Missing?
Wait for me. I'll leave at once.
I got it. I'll go now.
Well, what time is it?
Where are you going to look for her?
Doesn't matter. I'll start looking first.
Hey, wait till Ms. Kuo calls you.
Here I am!
Young.
Whoa, I want to ride it.
I want to ride it.
Stop messing around.
Shao is too slow.
You wait for him here. Let's go now.
Oh.
You know where to go?
I know.
It's a bit hard to describe where it is.
Shao can track my location on his phone.
Follow it to find us.
Okay, okay.
Off you go.
Why are you so late?
Where are they?
They left first.
No.
Let me call the police.
Argh, it's not that serious.
For Christ's sake.
Don't tell the whole world about it, okay?
It's not the first time.
She deliberately wants to make us worried.
She'll come back soon.
It's different.
This time I told her everything.
What did you tell her?
I told her everything.
You've got a new family.
Your child is already five years old.
Recently, I've been seeing someone.
In the past five years, we've been acting, lying to her.
Call her again.
I've called so many times.
She turned her phone off.
Don't think too much.
She's grown up.
She won't get into trouble.
Tung.
Where are you?
This is Dad.
Call me back at once.
Why did you sound so tough?
Don't you know what she is like?
Of course I know what she is like.
Or why would I do as you asked that
We wouldn't get divorced till she finished high school?
What you mean "do as I asked"?
It was something we both agreed on.
You don't even know I was just
Playing along with you?
Playing along?
With me?
Don't you care about your daughter?
In this case, neither of us needs you.
I lie to Tung for you.
Allowing you to play a good father.
You aren't doing it for me.
Of course not for you.
I'm doing it for my daughter.
Okay.
It's my fault.
I deserve it.
I'm a bastard, okay?
Since we've made it clear,
Let's sign the papers and get it done.
You don't need to say that.
I've got it ready.
I've signed.
Tung.
Ms. Kuo.
We're nearly there.
Over there.
How did you know she's there?
It was the place
Where I really got to know Tung for the first time.
In the summer when we were in tenth grade,
We went on a day trip with our classmates.
Weirdo. -Yep.
She comes to the beach but doesn't have fun.
Reading, eh?
Look at how she dresses.
So pretentious.
Everyone had left.
But Tung insisted on picking up
all the trash before leaving.
She said,
"Only when Earth becomes clean
Can we feel good."
I remember back then
I thought the girl standing before me
Was so cool.
At that moment,
I knew we would be best friends.
Tung.
Tung.
Tung.
I'm sorry.
I won't forgive you.
I'll punish you.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I can't believe you've found me.
Can't believe you still remember it.
I didn't realize it either.
Young.
My parents are getting divorced.
Tung.
I made friends with you definitely not out of pity.
I really like you.
I really love you.
Me too.
You're my best friend.
I don't like fighting with you.
Shao.
You lost.
Tung is Young's true love.
I don't like fighting with you.
I won't do it again.
I'm sorry.
We must be
Best friends.
It's ringing.
Young.
Hello, wait.
Let me put you on speaker.
Dad.
Young, this is Ms. Kuo.
Have you found Tung?
I've found Tung.
We're safe. Don't worry.
Tung.
Are you there? Tung?
Make a sound.
The battery is low.
Only one percent.
It's dead.
Hung up.
It's all your fault.
See how you've spoiled your daughter!
It's fine as long as Tung is found.
As long as Tung is found.
So cold.
Really cold.
Yeah, really cold.
Yes, I feel so cold.
What are you doing here?
Come to watch the sunrise?
But you can't see it in this direction.
No
We're just chatting.
Chatting?
Don't you feel cold chatting like this?
Yes, a bit.
It's cold.
Have hot pot.
It warms you up quicker.
Thank you, coach.
You're welcome.
Hey.
Wanna drink?
I can't believe you've found it.
Thank you, coach.
Darling.
Did you feel that they
You felt that too?
Hm.
Then what will happen to Tung?
Don't worry.
She has our Young.
Our Young can't have a boyfriend at this age.
She can't.
Wow.
Butterfly!
Well no
Didn't you want a blue one?
Why is it black?
Black suits me.
No, it doesn't.
And you got it already.
How about me?
It's okay if you have a different one.
Yeah, right, Sheng.
Why did you
Tattoo an eagle on your back?
Yeah, why?
Because I was drunk at that time.
It's true.
Then
Do you regret it?
Not really.
Young.
The tattoo
Have it only if you want.
If you don't, don't get it.
I asked Shao.
He thinks it's sexy for a girl to have tattoos.
Don't do it for me.
Or for Shao.
Do it for yourself.
After all, once it's tattooed, it's there forever.
Do you regret it?
No.
Okay, go to sleep.
Goodnight.
I know you're still angry.
You may think you'll ignore me
for the rest of your life.
It's alright.
I know how we interact with each other
Is very different from other parents
with their children.
But it was the first time I became a mother.
There were many things
I didn't get them right.
I've been learning along the way.
What I want to say is
No matter who I go out with now
Or in the future,
The person I love the most
Is Tung.
Even if in the future,
The person she loves the most
Might not be me.
She is my daughter.
This is the smell of Mom.
Goodnight.
Good morning.
Does it look good?
A bit tight.
Beautiful?
Really beautiful.
Does it look pretty?
Hey, Young.
Do you think I should put the phone horizontally
Or vertically when I film it tomorrow?
Horizontally, of course.
The stage is wide.
That's right.
Hey.
Let's go to the venue earlier tomorrow.
So I can find a good angle for filming.
Okay.
Now I'm getting nervous.
Oh my God!
Look.
You keep filming.
Now they're getting nervous.
Stop filming.
No.
It's a rare occasion.
It's okay, Mom.
It's your first time to be on the stage.
Maybe you won't have another chance.
That's right.
There is no chance.
Me too.
Me too.
What?
I'm going to give you flowers on the stage.
So, I have to go on the stage too.
I want flowers too.
Me too.
Really?
Me too.
Yes.
A bouquet for each of you.
Come on.
The presentation is about to start.
Excuse me, is this seat taken?
No, take it.
Okay, thanks. Thanks.
Everyone, be seated as soon as possible.
Why didn't you two have the costume with you?
It's too much trouble to fetch it from home.
We can dance without it.
Yes.
I bet you deliberately forgot it.
Stand apart.
Two steps apart.
Didn't we agree not to wear it?
Or
It's enough that Sheng has put it on.
No!
Even my mom has put it on.
You two definitely have to put it on.
You two really piss me off.
I just forgot to bring it.
What?
Today, our first team
Is about to start performing.
Sorry, sorry.
Sir.
What happened to your costume?
Er
Fine, hurry up, hurry up.
You're running late.
Off you go.

Although Earth isn't a big place,
It can accommodate all of us.

Or a Saturnian,
As long as you arrive on this planet,
You'll become part of us.
On this planet,
Everyone is an earthling.

So rarely that everyone is dressed up.
Let's take a photo together.
Okay?
Yes.
I'm going to see Tung.
Only Tung, okay?
Hey, leave her alone.
She'll grow up one day.
Tung. -Go.
Are you bullying my Tung?
What's up?
Here you are babe. -Hit him.
I'm hitting your baby.
Why hit me?
Why hit him?
Weird.
You deserve it.
This is my mom.

Nice to meet you.

How was my performance?
Not bad.
You keep a high profile in school, don't you?
Mr. Luo.
No, I don't
I don't.
We look good.
Right?
He fell.
Limp.
We look good, don't we?
Because I filmed it well.
I don't want to know, Don't tell me.
We have to face the reality.
I knew the Pop Dance Club would come first
Stop saying that.
Sheng, why are you so quiet?
I'm working. Shut up, you all!
Aaaaah!
I haven't started yet.
I'm starting.
Yes.
It's okay.
Just bear with it.
So
Are you seeing him or not?
No.
Nothing happened after that.
He didn't ask you out?
No.
Then did you ask him if he was the Martian?
No.
Ah.
I know.
Because he already asked you to go to that
J something.
A1J.
Yes.
It's done.
So small?
It looks like a wound.
Yes.
A mosquito bite is bigger than this.
Yeah.
It looks like a mosquito bite.
No way.
It's just a gesture.
Yeah?
Mm.
Yeah?
Stop.
It looks very sexy.
Very sexy?
Mm.
No, it doesn't.
So sexy
How?
Tung.
Tung.
What?
Where are my vacuum bottles?
What vacuum bottles?
Those bottles I collected before.
Where have they gone?
Did we give them away
After the spring cleaning?
No way.
Eh, or did we get burgled?
Let me help you find them.
Strange
No?
The taxi is here.
Oh.
I'm leaving.
I've called the moving company.
When they arrive,
Just tell them
Which things to pack.
Oh.
Okay.
Tung.
It's better for Mom
That I move out.
Later
I'll find a new home in Taipei.
If you like,
You can come live with me
Any time.
Then I'm off.
Tung.
I've followed you on the app.
You can follow me too.
If there is anything,
You can call me at any time.
I'm using another app now.
Which one?
Just a social and communication app.
Go learn about it.
Yes.
I'll do.
I'm leaving.
Miss.
Didn't you say you'd help me find the bottles?
What happened?
No idea.
Grrr, come on, help me find them.
I'm going out.
It's always you who tidy the place.
Okay.
Come on.
Let me help you find them.
Everyone.
The winter vacation begins.
Don't go crazy, okay?
Wait.
Wait, wait, wait.
What?
Our class chat group. Remember to check it.
Vote for the winter vacation trip, okay?
Okay.
And pay the fees, remember to pay the fees.
Okay.
It's voluntary. Or you'll be doomed.
Yes.
Yes, I mean you!
Pay the fees or you'll be doomed.
My bag.
Okay.
Push the chairs in.
You found a diary, didn't you?
This is the gents.
If you don't answer me, I won't leave.
Fine.
What are you looking at?
Let's talk outside.
Hey, that's mine
Hey.
Hey, who are you?
Thanks.
You're welcome.
A long time ago,
I had once wished
I could have a pair of wings.
But at that time, I didn't know
Growing a pair of wings was hard enough,
Let alone open the wings and fly towards the unknown.
It requires the courage I never have.
I'm not sure if I'm ready or not.
But it's not important anymore.
Finally, I come to realize
You saw who I was long ago.
And because of you
I can finally
See myself.
Sheng.
I'm
very nervous.
Me too.
Why are you nervous?
Every time I see you,
I feel very nervous.
Oh I
oh I
You'be mine
Don't keep trying
to run away my love just stay just stay
don't keep runnin away
Let me call you "baby"
Let me get drunk, let me
Let me fall, let me
Burst into tears, be taken aback,
I don't understand myself
Oh I
oh I
You'be mine
Young.
Where are you going with such a big suitcase?
Argh, let me do it myself.
Leave me alone.
I'll put the pineapple cakes here.
Mom.
Why is there a box of pineapple cakes in my suitcase?
Young.
Why do you need a teddy on a trip?
Are you a little kid?
Mind your own business.
Grrr, Dad, let me do it myself.
No.
Listen, there are tips for packing.
I'll sort it.
Let me sort it and you'll see.
Okay?
Mom.
You put the pineapple cakes there, right?
Who are you?
Do I know you?
How long will you keep saying that?
It's your fault.
You didn't come home once during the semester.
The train tickets are very expensive.
Did we ask you to pay for that?
Finding excuses, eh?
Mom, just put them in another bag.
How many boxes do you need?
Hey.
Who are you?
Are you my son?
I hardly recognize you.
Dad.
Grrr, you all, get out.
Let me do it myself.
Fine, fine.
Do it yourself.
I was going on a round-the-island trip with my friends.
Go in summer vacation instead.
Later
I'll put a few boxes of sun cakes here.
No need to guess
we gonn fly fly fly to the sky go high
who am I I I
No need to guess
The bear says bye-bye to you.
Give it back to me.
Mom, look at Bro!
