Back to 1989 (2016) s01e22 Episode Script

1
I should find you annoying,
but I'm glad
to have met you in 1989.
If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have
known the Golden Team of Five
and be friends with Jin-qin
and everyone.
I wouldn't have lived in your home
and felt the warmth of having a family.
I wouldn't have understood
how happy it feels to be trusted
and cared for
unconditionally by another.
So,
no matter what happens
in the future
I won't let you be unhappy.
You got that?
Deep down, he's just a softie.
He obviously cares about me.
He's not opening up
because he's leaving, is he?
Chen Che.
I said I'm spending all the holidays
with you from here on,
whether it's Christmas or birthdays.
This is our first Christmas together.
There'll be plenty more holidays
where I'll be wishing you
a Happy New Year,
a Happy Valentine's Day,
a Happy Arbor Day,
a Happy April Fools',
a Happy Dragon Boat Festival,
a Happy Moon Festival,
a Happy Any Holiday.
Last but not least,
I'm wishing you a Merry Christmas.
This girl
How many holidays
are we celebrating?
You've tamed me, which means
you're responsible for me now.
Listen.
It's the sound of Christmas.
No.
Christmas had already passed.
Call Li Jin-qin in.
He'll take responsibility.
Christmas is tomorrow.
What exactly happened
on that day?
Why can't I go?
You're not old enough
to go to a dance party yet.
I want to see
what a dance party looks like.
Don't worry, I'll be with Che
the whole time.
He'll keep an eye on me.
Right, Che?
It's fine as long as your mom says yes.
Yeah, see? Che's fine with it.
Quit bothering me.
Please.
Just let me go this once.
I'll wipe that for you.
Mom, Dad, Guo-an
I'm sorry.
I can't let Chen Che
go back to 2016 alone.
I can't bear the thought
of not being able to see him ever again.
I wouldn't even know
where or how to find him.
What's even more unbearable
is to have my first time
liking someone
turn into a dream.
Chen Che.
Wherever you're going,
I'm coming with you, too.
If you're staying in 1989,
then I'm staying in 1989.
If you're going back to 2016
then I'm going to 2016 with you.
Mom, how about this?
Since Dad's not home,
you might as well cut me some slack.
What do you say?
Then who's gonna cut me some slack?
Mom, let me break it down for you.
Ye Zhen-zhen.
This is the first time
I've seen you look this pretty.
Then you should
remember this day.
Okay.
-Can I come with--
-You gotta listen to Mom and Dad
and study for your entrance exam.
Take it seriously like you do
with the novels you read.
One more thing.
Remember to chew your food.
It's for better digestion. Got it?
Got it.
Mom.
I got you, Dad, and Guo-an
your Christmas presents and cards.
We're getting some, too?
I thought you've forgotten all about us
now that you have Chen Che.
I can't believe my precious daughter
still thinks of her parents
even after getting a boyfriend.
-Where are the cards?
-In a box in my room.
You can't see them right now.
You have to wait till tomorrow.
Okay. Okay.
Then I'll look forward to the surprises
you have in store for us tomorrow.
Mom, we're gonna get going now.
Have fun.
Be safe.
Mom.
What's wrong?
It's nothing.
I'm probably just nervous about
going to a Christmas party
for the first time.
What is there to be nervous about?
You have Chen Che with you.
What? You want to me with you, too?
Take me with you.
You'll need someone
to look after your bags.
-I'm telling you--
-No.
You need to stay at home
with Mom and Dad.
We're going now.
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas.
Have fun.
You better behave.
Okay.
You should go.
-Did Zhen-zhen seem a bit strange to you?
-Yeah.
She's obviously dating Che,
but she still denies it.
She's not gonna sleep with him, is she?
What the hell are you saying?
Your sister's an innocent girl.
Don't be absurd.
It's because she's too innocent
that she'd give everything up for love.
I was riding a motorcycle
into a tunnel
when a light
suddenly appeared before me.
I didn't have time to brake,
so I crashed.
When I woke up, I was in 1989.
So,
if we ride into a tunnel,
speed up and keep going
without reservation,
we might enter a passage
linking the two space-time dimensions.
Merry Christmas.
Thanks, Xiao-long.
Thank you! Thank you!
Thank you, everybody!
Some friends you all are.
You're first to run if something happens.
Xiao-long, don't be upset.
See, your new suit's all wrinkled.
-You've got excellent balance.
-Yeah.
Super excellent.
All right. It's Christmas.
We should be merry.
Yeah, we should be merry.
You're right. Absolutely right.
Okay. The main reason
I invited everyone
is because I have something important
to ask of everyone.
I'm going to confess
my feelings to Ye Zhen-zhen
with the signature dance
of her favorite boy band!
Xiao-long! Xiao-long! Xiao-long!
Go! Go! Go!
-Yeah.
-How
Zhong-en?
-Ya-juan.
-Zhong-en, you're here.
Xiao-long invited me.
I heard we're exchanging presents.
I hope you get mine.
It's a great present.
Okay.
Hi.
How are you and your mom doing?
We're good. Same old.
That's good.
All right. Everyone,
put your presents under the tree.
-We're gonna do the exchange later.
-Yeah.
Let's go put our presents there.
Strange. Why aren't Zhen-zhen
and Chen Che here yet?
Today must mean
something significant to Mom.
I don't care if I'm overthinking it.
I'm staying close to Mom today.
I might just find out
who my dad really is.
Hey, where are we going?
This isn't the way to the party.
I want to take you somewhere first.
Where?
You're being weird today.
Tell me.
Did you get in trouble again?
No. You're thinking too much.
Isn't that the tunnel
that led me to 1989?
Chen Che.
No matter what happens to us,
I just want to let you know
that I like you.
For you, I'll do anything.
Zhen-zhen, what are you doing?
You plan to go back
to 2016 alone, right?
I heard everything you said
to Ya-juan's dad.
No, you got it wrong.
I was serious when I said
I wanna go to 2016 with you.
Are you crazy? Stop the bike.
You're crazy. Stop the bike.
I said stop.
Don't try to stop me.
If I don't see you again,
I'll regret it for the rest of my life.
-You're a fool.
-I'd rather be one if I can be with you.
-What are you thinking? Stop the bike.
-Let go.
-Let go of me. No.
-Stop the bike. Stop.
Chen Che.
Wherever you're going,
I'm coming with you, too.
If you're staying in 1989,
then I'm staying in 1989.
If you're going back to 2016,
then I'm going to 2016 with you.
That's good.
You didn't disappear.
You're still here.
Are you okay?
I'm okay.
Is this 2016?
Are we in 2016?
Do you think time travel
is that easy?
You're so stupid. Don't you know
how dangerous that was?
Isn't this 2016?
I don't believe it.
Stop! Stop! Stop the bike!
Lady, what are you doing?
Excuse me.
What year is it?
It's 1989.
-Aren't you mistaken?
-Then what year could it be?
Thanks. Bye.
The two of you
look familiar.
So, this method doesn't work
but at least we're okay.
The most important thing
is we're still together.
You were gambling with your life.
What if something happened to you?
How would your parents feel?
How would I be able to face them?
I'm sorry.
I know I was being stupid
and ridiculous.
But I really didn't know what to do.
In any case, don't do this again.
We'll find another way.
We'll make it work one day.
Please don't be like this.
Going back to 2016 is my business.
You're from 1989.
You should stay here.
No. We've got it wrong.
Chen Che!
We've got it wrong.
We've only been thinking about
how we could be apart in the future.
We should remember that we're together
in the same space-time dimension.
Everything's fine
as long as we're together now.
I'm here.
You're here.
Look.
Your hand and my hand.
I can feel your warmth.
We can feel each other.
We're together.
So what if we'll be apart someday?
People will inevitably
leave each other.
As long as we love each other,
why can't we be brave together?
Every second that we're together
brings us a second more of happiness.
Isn't that enough?
Ye Zhen-zhen.
You really got me.
So
do you accept my proposal?
You're the most foolish girl
I've ever met in this world.
Your dress is ripped.
Your feet.
Let's get to the party.
There's something more important to do
than time traveling.
-What is it?
-Keeping an eye on Ya-juan.
Not letting her out of our sight
for one minute.
-Why?
-Don't ask me why.
Just do it. I want you to help me.
Cheers.
How long do we have to wait?
I've a lot of places to go to tonight.
Be patient.
Christmas is about being with
people that are important to you.
I'll go get you some food.
Are you preparing for hibernation?
There'll be dancing later.
I gotta store up some energy.
Take your time.
Here. Have some cake.
Lin Xiao-long, what are you waiting for?
Let's get it started.
I can't, sir.
Let's wait a bit more.
For what?
Things can heat up
when you live in the same house.
Maybe that's the case
for Zhen-zhen and Che.
That's not possible.
Everyone, they're here.
Quick. Get in position!
Hurry! It's time.
Good luck, Xiao-long.
-Zhen-zhen.
-What?
-I'll take it.
-What's going on?
Come here.
Stand here. Don't move.
Xiao-long, what are you doing?
Ye Zhen-zhen, I like you.
I've liked you for a long time.
Will you be my girlfriend?
Nice moves.
Now it's my turn.
Don't worry. Just follow my lead.
Chen Che's a great dancer.
Don't forget.
Xiao-long's the one who's
part of the Golden Team of Five.
What are you doing?!
This is supposed to be my stage,
my chance to declare my love!
Xiao-long.
I like you.
I always have for a long time.
I never told you before
because I thought
it wasn't the right time.
I didn't have a solid career.
I didn't have the means
to provide for you.
But now I have both.
I-- I've been working hard.
I've been working really hard.
Actually
everyone knew that I like you.
You're the only one who didn't know.
Xiao-long.
Please don't be sad.
I've always considered you
my close friend.
I never wanted to be just a friend.
Never.
Let's talk outside.
All right.
Love is like a battlefield.
Winner takes all.
Don't be a sore loser.
It's not like that.
There's no winner or loser.
You really went too far.
Do you know how much money and energy
Xiao-long spent for this?
Xiao-long!
Xiao-long, stop fighting.
Let go of me!
Xiao-long.
Enough. Calm down.
It's all your fault!
Xiao-long, stop!
Let go of me!
I'm sorry.
You have every right to hit me.
I'm the one who caused you pain.
I have nothing to say.
You knew I'd get upset,
but you still did it anyway.
What were you thinking?!
If I had held back my feelings,
I'd be hurting Zhen-zhen!
I didn't dare to love her,
but when I saw you
confessing to her,
I finally realized.
If I don't muster courage,
I'd end up hurting her.
You love Zhen-zhen,
but she only sees you as a friend.
So,
please give us your blessing.
In your dreams!
Xiao-long, get up.
So heavy.
Don't worry.
There's plenty of fish in the sea.
Xiao-long, you're a super salesman.
You're not that easy to defeat.
Come. Let's get wasted.
You're such a dummy.
What if Xiao-long really punched you?
Let him.
It'd hurt me more to give you away.
What you're saying is
you want me to give Ya-juan up?
I merely want you to think really hard
about what's right for her.
You like Ya-juan, don't you?
If you really like her,
why didn't you say so earlier?
Why wait until we've decided
to be together?
Because I thought I'd be okay with it.
I thought you'd make her happy.
If you guys could really
be happy together,
then I wouldn't need to tear you apart.
You're thinking too much.
We're so happy together.
You're the one who's happy.
Ya-juan has to lie every day
in order to see you.
Do you think she'd be happy
by lying to her family?
I've been handling everything
for Mr. Wang.
It's my duty
to look after Xiao-long right now.
Yes, yes. Okay.
Where are Jin-qin and Zhong-en?
I was just looking for them, too.
Give me two rows of booze!
I want to challenge Chen Che
to a drink off.
-Great.
-A drink off.
Drink off. Okay.
I love drink offs.
Get more alcohol.
I'm a classy guy.
You want my blessing?
Sure, but let's have
a drink off first.
Great. Come.
A drink off between two super salesmen.
Let's go.
Xiao-long, let's go. A drink off.
Here. Take a seat.
Here.
Xiao-long. Here. Sit down.
Good luck.
Let's do rock, paper, scissors.
Loser drinks.
See who passes out first.
With Zhen-zhen by her side,
Mom should be all right.
I'll deal with Xiao-long first.
Okay. Like you said,
if I win, we stay friends.
You'll give us your blessing.
We'll see after you win.
No.
You gotta promise me first,
or I won't drink.
Fine. You have my word.
That's a promise.
Great!
Let's get started.
Good luck.
Everyone.
Rock, paper, scissors.
Try again.
Rock, paper, scissors.
Drink! Drink! Drink!
Darn it. Why is Xia-long saying
that he likes me all of a sudden?
I didn't believe it
when Chen Che told me before.
Only guys understand each other.
Rock, paper, scissors.
Do you think
that Zhong-en might like you?
-Again.
-Okay.
Rock, paper, scissors.
Xiao-long won.
Drink, drink, drink!
Okay.
Ya-juan. I'm too nervous.
My stomach hurts.
I need to go to the restroom.
Hold this for me.
Wait here. Don't go anywhere.
Not anywhere.
Drink, drink, drink.
Why hasn't Jin-qin come back yet?
It should be okay for me
to go look for him.
Rock, scissors, paper.
Great.
Drink, drink, drink!
You're my bro. I got this one.
That's loyalty right there. Great.
Guo.
You're my best friend.
I've seen and been through more
than the two of you.
The one you love most
isn't always the one
you spend your life with.
You mean, you're gonna
spend your life with Ya-juan?
Her mom once told me
to take good care of Ya-juan
after I move to the U.S.
She also said that
if she had another daughter,
she'd marry her off to me.
Her mom approves of you.
But what about Ya-juan?
Did you think she won't miss me
and love me for the rest of her life?
You'd be okay with that?
It doesn't matter if she loves me.
I'd make up for it with more love.
You're like a brother to us.
A brother.
Ya-juan and I have called you brother
for such a long time.
How can you say that?
It's because I'm your brother
that I'm saying this to you.
All the things I've said,
all the things I've done,
none of them are wrong.
Li Jin-qin, trust me.
I'll take good care of Ya-juan for you.
I'm telling you, Wang Zhong-en,
I'm not giving up!
You need to give up now
so that she can move on
and go after the future she deserves.
Otherwise, she'll be trapped
between you and her mom.
But I'm the one she loves, not you!
So what?
You can't afford to love her, okay?
You don't have the ability to love her.
-Wang Zhong-en, you--
-What?
You're gonna be like your dad?
Go ahead and hit me.
You're in grad school,
and you can't handle this
without using your fists?
Based on this alone, it's clear you're
not qualified to be with Ya-juan.
Jin-qin.
-Jin-qin.
-Ya-juan. Ya-juan.
Zhong-en, what happened between
you and Jin-qin?
Where's he going?
What's wrong? Tell me.
What did you say to him?
Ya-juan.
I like you.
I mean it.
I've liked you for a long time.
Will you give me a chance?
You're like my older brother.
You'll always be that way to me--
This isn't right.
Jin-qin!
Jin-qin.
Jin-qin, is that you?
Jin-qin!
The name he pulled out
is Zhang Shu-hua.
Exchange your gifts.
What did you bring?
It's so small.
Where did you go?
The restroom.
Where's Ya-juan?
Ya-juan? Wasn't she just here?
I told you to watch her.
My stomach was hurting,
so I had to go to the restroom.
Why did you have to do
the drink off with Xia-long?
Maybe she went looking
for Jin-qin and Zhong-en.
Let's go find them.
-Next one is
-Min.
Who do you want?
Whose gift do you want?
Jin-qin.
Please don't hide from me. Come out.
Jin-qin!
Ya-juan?
Two people can be so close
despite being 27 years apart.
