Back to 1989 (2016) s01e27 Episode Script

1
He'll understand.
He can't possibly understand.
He's still so little.
He will.
Even if he can't, he'll forgive you.
Because even if you can't love him,
he still loves you.
He would want you to be happy.
A child has no choice.
He can only love his mom.
Chen Che, you understand
why I'm doing this, don't you?
You know why I can't have this child,
don't you?
Mom even took a mortgage
on the house.
She wants me to go abroad.
I broke up with Jin-qin,
and he's hurting enough.
If he knew that I'm pregnant,
he'd be devastated.
You know why I'm doing this,
right?
You understand, don't you?
Take a deep breath.
Listen to me.
I absolutely understand
why you need the abortion.
I support your decision.
Otherwise,
I wouldn't have helped you
sign the consent form, would I?
If you want children,
you can have them
in the future.
The most important thing right now
is to go abroad for your studies
and find a way
to make up with Jin-qin.
Forget this unfortunate incident.
Forget this child.
That's it.
Only then can you have a clean slate.
Ms. Chen Ya-juan?
It's your turn. Please come with me.
Chen Che.
Thank you.
Mom.
Although in the future
you may never think of me again
or not know
how to think about me,
I still love you.
This
is the best and only thing
I can give you.
Chen Che.
You're actually scared, too,
aren't you?
You're scared of never seeing
someone again or losing someone.
Scared that I can't take this.
That's why you want to go away
alone, quietly.
Chen Che.
Do you know
that you're a bad liar?
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry. Sorry.
I can't say goodbye
to the two women
I love most in my life.
I don't know how to do this.
I can't.
When I was a child
I envied those who had secrets.
But now
I have a secret of my own.
And that's you.
You want me to think of you
whenever I feel sad
and have a piece of caramel candy.
I don't want to.
It's doesn't matter if I'm happy
or sad.
I'll eat one anyway.
But you already know
that I eat a lot.
How can you be so stingy,
only giving me one jar?
Don't you know
that I'm gonna miss you every day?
Missing you
is the biggest secret
in my life.
Are you cold?
It will be over soon.
My stomach.
It suddenly hurts.
Nurse. Can you come take a look?
My stomach hurts.
I think you're having a contraction.
-What contraction?
-You uterus is contracting.
Rigorous contraction
causes miscarriage.
Wait here. I'll tell the doctor.
Miscarriage.
Are you protesting?
Do you know
that I'm abandoning you?
Are you mad at me?
Doctor. Doctor.
Please figure something out.
Aren't you the smart one?
You figure something out.
I-- I need to stop Ya-juan.
I'll tell the doctor not to perform
the surgery. Wait for me here.
Open the door.
Help!
Doctor, don't do the surgery!
Open the door!
Ya-juan.
Ya-juan,
how are you feeling?
Are you all right?
Is the surgery done?
Ms. Chen decided to keep the baby.
But she has first trimester bleeding.
I gave her an injection
to stabilize her pregnancy.
She needs a lot of rest now.
Okay.
I want to keep this child.
So, you won't abort the baby?
Zhen-zhen.
That's great.
You're still here.
That's great.
It turned out that she didn't
continue the abortion.
Ya-juan just had bleeding.
You What's the matter with you two?
Why are you crying?
Okay.
Thank you.
Why the sudden change of heart?
I don't know.
At first, I was really selfish.
I was about to give him up
for my own future.
But just when I almost lost him,
I realized that
he's so tiny
and so helpless.
And I'm the only person in the world
who can protect him.
Just like you said,
a child will love his mom
no matter what.
And a mom
is destined to give
everything she has for her baby.
You have no idea
how much it means to me
that you're keeping this baby.
What's with you guys?
Nothing. I'm just very touched.
Little baby, do you see?
You're loved
even before you're born.
You have aunties and uncles
who care about you.
Maybe after he's born,
you two can be his godparents.
What do you think?
It's fine.
Yes.
After he's born,
he can call just me sis.
Sis.
My dear.
Don't be afraid.
I'd never abandon you ever again.
I'll protect and love you
with all my heart
because you're a part of me.
Do you know that?
Are you sure
you want to tell your mom now?
I need to be brave for my child.
Really?
Have you seen
Ya-juan's application material?
Ya-juan and the rest are back.
I'll tell her now.
Good. Thank you. Goodbye.
-You're home.
-Mom.
Hello, Auntie.
Hello.
Auntie Guo from the States
just called to tell me
she saw your application material.
She said your grades are great.
You should receive
the letter of enrollment soon.
This is great.
Since the Hong Yuan fraud case,
this has been the only thing
worth celebrating.
Mom.
I'm pregnant.
You're pregnant?
I'm so sorry.
I've let you down.
I can't study abroad.
This isn't her fault.
That's right, Auntie.
Ya-juan is a victim.
She was violated by Zhong-en.
I'm so sorry.
I've brought you shame.
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry. I'm sorry.
Tell me.
What really happened?
Get up.
Let bygones be bygones.
I'll arrange an abortion for you.
Afterwards, you'll go abroad.
And forget about this.
I know you must be
in a lot of pain
because of what happened.
When you're in America
and become busy,
you'll forget everything.
Mom.
I'm keeping my baby.
I don't want to go overseas.
I'm keeping my baby.
You're crazy.
-Do you want to marry Zhong-en?
-I'll never marry him.
Don't tell him I'm pregnant.
Then why are you having his baby,
giving up your studies
and becoming a single mom?
Wan-Ling, keep calm.
Do you know what happened?
Do you know
what your daughter just said?
She said
she's pregnant.
And she's keeping the baby.
This isn't her fault.
She's a victim.
If it isn't her fault, is it mine?!
Didn't I tell you
that girls shouldn't go out at night?
Didn't I tell you?
Parties, balls,
you shouldn't have gone.
You don't know who those people are
and what they're like.
Didn't I tell you?
I gave birth to you.
Not getting hurt is how
you should love your parents.
If you listened to me,
to anything I said,
would any of this have happened?
Okay. It's too late for this.
Don't talk about it anymore.
Are you agreeing to Ya-juan keeping a baby
from a man she doesn't love?
Are you agreeing to her
being single mom
and a source of gossip for our neighbors
her entire life?
Maybe
it wouldn't come to that.
-We can take the time to discuss this.
-You can wait.
But can her baby wait?
She's pregnant now.
Her stomach will be showing soon.
Can we still take our time
to discuss this?
I'll make the decision for her.
Zhen-zhen, Chen Che,
thank you for bringing Ya-juan home.
You can go home now.
-Auntie
-I won't be seeing you off.
Go home for now.
I'll talk to Wan-Ling.
We'll go now.
Goodbye, Auntie.
Goodbye, Uncle Chen.
Without my permission,
you can't leave this house.
If you won't listen,
don't ever come back.
Don't be afraid.
I promise you
no matter how hard things get,
I'll never abandon you.
Don't be afraid.
Don't be afraid.
Dad.
Are you all right?
How's Mom?
She's hurting.
Don't blame your mom.
Understand?
I don't blame Mom.
I know.
She doesn't want me to keep my baby
because she loves me.
But I want to have this baby
because I love him, too.
I understand how Mom feels.
I'm a mom, too.
Forget what your mom wants
for now.
What do you want?
What are you going to do?
I don't know.
The only thing I have in mind
is no matter what happens
in the future
I'll go through everything with my child.
We'll face everything together.
I think you're a brave mom.
Your child will be
a wonderful person, too.
Thank you, Dad.
But there's a problem
that needs to be handled now.
Your mom just contacted a doctor.
She's taking you
to get abortion tomorrow.
Dad. I'm not having the abortion.
-I can't.
-Don't worry.
This is what I think.
Chen Che!
You're back.
Where are Mom and Dad?
They went to a wedding.
They're not back yet.
Did everything go well?
Then where's my present?
It's in your room. On the desk.
First drawer on the left.
Thanks, bro.
Why did you give Ye Guo-an a present?
I made a deal with him.
He'd cover up for us,
and I'd buy him a new video game.
Video game?
Why did you buy
such an expensive gift?
He's a middle school kid.
Because I thought
that was the last time.
So
Fortunately, that wasn't.
I still get to hold you like this
for now.
Listen.
My heart is pounding.
Can you feel it?
When I think of how Auntie would react,
my heart rate goes up.
If Auntie insists on Ya-juan
having the abortion,
then what are we gonna do?
Maybe we should tell Jin-qin
about this.
Jin-qin loves Ya-juan very much.
Maybe he'd be willing
to accept the baby.
Even if we tell him, it won't help.
In 2016, my grandpa said
Ya-juan didn't want Jin-qin.
She wanted to raise the child herself.
But-- You said so yourself.
Since you came to 1989,
you have to do something.
We should do something for Ya-juan
and you as a child.
Hello?
What? Yes, I'll be right there.
Let's go. Quick.
-What are you doing? Where are we going?
-Ya-juan called. She's leaving home.
Let's go. Quick.
Ya-juan!
Are you all right?
Are you sure you want to leave home?
Can I stay at your place
for a few days?
-I'll wait for Mom to calm down.
-Of course. You're my best friend.
Thank you.
I'm sorry that I keep bothering you
and Chen Che.
It's nothing. You just made
a very brave decision.
But my decision
is letting many people down.
This isn't your fault.
That's right.
No matter what happens,
Che and I will be here for you.
Thank you.
You must be tired
after what happened today.
Let's go home.
That's right. You also had an injection
to stabilize your pregnancy.
Is your baby all right?
Is he behaving?
How are you gonna explain
my sudden arrival to your parents?
Don't you worry.
When Che first came,
he was a complete stranger.
After all, you're my best friend.
They'll take it well for sure.
Don't come near me.
Don't come near me.
What's going on?
Did you have a nightmare?
Don't be afraid. I'm here.
Don't be afraid.
Why did it happen to me?
What did I do wrong?
Why me?
Ya-juan.
Don't think like this.
You have to forget
what happened that night.
Think about the fact
that you'd be a mom soon.
You'd have the best child
in the world.
Really.
He's the best son in the world.
He's going to be
charming,
very smart,
very cool.
Sometimes he may be irritating
and say mean things
but he's kind.
How do you know it's a boy?
It could be a girl.
It's a wild guess.
You bled today, and he made it.
So, I thought he must be
a very resilient and healthy boy.
Ya-juan.
Promise me something.
What is it?
Even if the father of your baby
was the one who hurt you,
the baby is a different person.
Can you not let this
affect your relationship with him
or treat him coldly?
You're his mom.
He'll love you.
But if you're cold to him,
he'll be really sad.
Ya-juan.
We should go now.
Guo-zhang, did you see Ya-juan?
She's not here, so are her clothes.
Did you hide Ya-juan from me?
Where is she? Tell me right now.
I
I'm not telling you.
You think if you don't tell me,
I won't do anything?
Ya-juan's best friend is Zhen-zhen.
If you won't tell me,
I'll ask Zhen-zhen.
Wan-Ling.
Hello.
Ya-juan, where are you?
Don't say anything.
I'll pick you up at once.
Give me the phone.
-Guo-zhang!
-Don't say anything first.
Ya-juan, don't worry.
I'll talk to your mom.
After we're done talking,
I'll call you.
Don't hang up.
We're not done talking!
Why is your judgment so clouded?
I've arranged an abortion for her.
-If we don't hurry, we won't make it!
-Ya-juan decided to keep her baby.
You know in your heart
that this is wrong.
What is right,
and what is wrong?
Would studying abroad
bring her happiness?
Our daughter
has the courage to keep her baby
and be responsible for her own life.
Can you say that that is wrong?
Honestly,
I'm really proud of our daughter.
I think she's really brave.
She's aware that being a single mom
is going to be very difficult.
But she's willing
to carry the burden on her own.
Even if she knows
the father isn't a good person,
she's not venting her anger
on her baby.
Do you know what this means?
It means our daughter
knows how to love.
Good morning. Did you go out
for the newspaper?
Yes.
If my mom won't accept this child,
then I can't keep staying here.
I'd need a job
to go on and raise my baby.
You're pregnant now.
Don't look for a job now.
Or maybe I can talk to the manager.
Don't tell our colleagues
about what happened.
I don't want people to gossip.
Don't worry.
Besides being a stock broker,
there are many other jobs I can do.
Like a receptionist
or an accounting clerk
shopkeeper or
Anyway, if there's a will,
there's a way.
Don't be pessimistic.
Didn't your dad say he'd find a way
to persuade your mom?
-Maybe
-Don't be silly.
Mom is very stubborn.
She'd never agree
to me keeping my baby.
Also, I just called home.
She was
How was she?
Anyway, between Mom and my baby,
I can only choose one.
Then why don't you
give up this baby?
Because
without me, Mom still has Dad
to take care of her.
But
I'm all
my baby has.
It must be because of me
that Mom became estranged
with Grandpa and Grandma.
What should I do to change
the course of the future
so that Mom can live a happy life?
Can you wait here?
Tell Zhen-zhen
I have something to take care of.
Please ask her
to call in half-day for me.
Chen Che.
Li Jin-qin.
Chen Che. What are you doing here?
I have a serious question for you.
Okay. Go ahead.
Do you love Ya-juan?
-Yes.
-How much do you love her?
I never cared for someone
like I care for her.
That's not enough.
That's not enough
to make Ya-juan happy.
Chen Che, what are you trying to say?
If, one day,
Ya-juan met a bad person
and got hurt or sick,
would you still love her?
Absolutely.
If Ya-juan will take me back,
I won't care what happened to her.
-I'll still love her.
-Good.
What if
she loses something precious that
she thinks defines her as a good woman?
What are you talking about?
Ya-juan
What happened to her?
Did she break up with me
because of that?
Did she break up with me
because of that?
Ya-juan loves you very much.
That's why she needs to leave you.
Do you understand?
She can't bear the fact that
she's no longer perfect in your eyes.
Was it Zhong-en?
Did Zhong-en hurt Ya-juan?
In this world,
only you can make Ya-juan happy.
She doesn't want anyone else.
She doesn't have the courage to tell you.
So, if you have
any hesitation at all,
any impatience or pity
or disgust towards her,
she'd be heart-broken.
I'm asking you.
Did Wang Zhong-en hurt Chen Ya-juan?
Chen Che, tell me!
She's pregnant.
Not only is she hurt,
she's also pregnant
with Zhong-en's baby.
So, if you can't care for her
from the bottom of your heart
and love her,
then don't bother her anymore.
Or else, she'd be devastated.
So, will you still love Ya-juan?
Tell me.
Wang Zhong-en.
You're an animal!
How could you do this to her?
You knew that we're in love.
How could you do something like that?!
Let go of me, Chen Che!
Get up!
What do you have to say?
You're a coward. You're gutless.
After what happened to Ya-juan,
you finally have the guts
to do something.
This is for Ya-juan!
This is for Ya-juan's son.
Don't think that just because Ya-juan's
pregnant, she has to marry you.
You mean
Ya-juan is pregnant?
Even so,
I'm still not giving up on her.
You listen, Wang Zhong-en.
Whatever happened to Ya-juan,
it's now my business.
She has nothing to do with you.
You hear me?!
You can't let Ya-juan have the baby.
Absolutely not.
What do you mean?
You're not taking responsibility?
Why do something you'd regret?!
If you really want the best
for Ya-juan,
tell her to give up the baby.
Zhong-en, are you such a coward
that you'd give up your own child?
Because that's not my child!
Not your child?
What do you mean?
Well
I wanted to bear this cross
for the rest of my life.
I'd never tell the truth.
That day, I looked for Jin-qin.
I wanted to tell him to back out,
and I'd tell Ya-juan that I love her.
But Ya-juan
She rejected me
and went after Jin-qin.
After being rejected by her,
I was really hurt.
I hesitated for a while
before I went after her.
When I got to Ya-juan
I was too late.
Then, I brought Ya-juan here.
She thought I did it.
I couldn't tell her. I was scared
she couldn't handle it.
So, I'd rather let her think
that it was me.
So,
you can't let her keep the baby.
You must talk to Ya-juan.
You must talk to her.
No.
Since Ya-juan
decided to keep the baby,
then I will stay by her side.
I'd raise the baby with her.
Chen Che.
didn't you ask me
how much I love Ya-juan?
I'm not just saying this.
I'll prove it to you.
I thought Zhong-en was my dad.
Although the truth is infuriating,
at least he loves Mom.
Two people can be so close
despite being 27 years apart.
