Back to 1989 (2016) s01e29 Episode Script

1
I've checked.
The red-eared slider turtle
can live up to 35 years.
So, if we start taking
very good care of him now,
this little turtle
will be our shared pet by 2016.
He'll be a testament of our love
that transcends time itself.
What's this?
"Happiness and prosperity."
"Always wear a smile."
Where are you going?
I heard of using pigeons
to send messages,
but it's my first time
seeing a turtle carry a letter.
What do you think? Smart, right?
Only an animal with longevity
could be a testament to our love.
Turtles are also easy to care for,
making him the perfect pet.
Ye Zhen-zhen,
don't you know that the word "turtle"
is synonymous to "losing" in Chinese?
Why would a stock broker
keep a turtle as a pet?
But finding a pet that can live
for over 30 years
is really difficult.
Although red arowanas and carps
can live long enough, they're expensive.
The house is too small
to hold a tank that big.
Even if I did choose a fish,
wouldn't it be a bad sign
if I accidentally kill our baby?
In the end,
the one that is both
affordable and economical
and can live long and look cute
is none other than our little turtle.
It was meant to be.
When I walked into the store,
he kept looking at me.
We're destined to be a family.
Isn't that right, little turtle?
Why don't you show him some love?
Come on. Here, hold him.
Be careful.
I'm still trying to think of things
that would last until 2016.
I want to spend this time
to do meaningful things with you.
Ye Zhen-zhen,
where are you going?
And why did you want
to bring the turtle?
I'm trying to find us a tree.
Chen Che.
What do you think
about this one?
What do you mean?
Let's adopt it. What do you think?
This is the tree.
It looks healthy, so it will live long.
Come on.
Give little turtle to me.
Look, little turtle.
This is Mommy and Daddy's tree.
You're the witness.
Here. Tie this on the tree.
One for you and one for me.
Careful.
Strange.
What's with this scar?
Why is it becoming more pronounced?
Don't just stand there. Come over here.
All right. Now you belong
to Chen Che and me.
While little turtle
bears witness to this moment,
you, too, will bear witness
to our love.
Don't worry. I'll drop by often
to water you and take care of you.
Stay alive.
The longer you live, the longer you'll be
the testament of my love for Zhen-zhen.
Remember what you said.
Pinky swear.
A thousand years.
No, 3,000 years. You have to love me
for a very long time.
Isn't a thousand years too much?
By then, it might become a holy tree.
I don't care.
We'll come back to visit our tree soon,
and we can also bury a time capsule.
Okay, it's a new year.
To bring in sustainable profit
for our beloved company,
I went to the temple of the wealth god
to get everyone a lucky charm.
Keep it up. This year,
I want everyone to work hard.
-Yes, sir.
-I wish that you'll all become
super sales people
so that everyone can make lots of money.
Thank you.
-Keep up the good work.
-Thank you, sir.
Li-jing, this is for you.
I also got matching Cupid charms
from the temple of the love god.
Thank you, sir.
So full of personality.
I wish you all
a Happy Chinese New Year.
Keep it up. Keep it up. Keep it up!
Keep it up.
Wow, just look at Li-jing.
Her envelope's thicker
than a slice of toast,
while we only get
two thin notes in ours.
She's the apple of his eye,
-while you're like a needle in his eye.
-Be quiet.
Xiao-long, he's making fun of me.
It's fine. If you want a thicker envelope,
let's fill it up ourselves.
I'm estimating that after the holidays,
the market price will increase.
We can seize the opportunity
and make some money.
The market might not be
as strong this year.
I think we should take a step back
when it hits 12,000 points.
What are you talking about?
Money is everywhere in Taiwan.
In the current climate, I bet
the market will exceed 15,000 points.
What do you think, Chen Che?
Want to bet?
Come on, broker extraordinaire.
Take it.
-It'll be fun.
-It'll be interesting. Take the bet.
I'm just giving everyone
something to ponder on.
All right, guys.
Just ignore him and follow me.
You know what we'll have
after the holidays?
-Money.
-What do we do when we have it?
-Invest.
-What comes after that?
Houses, cars and anything you want!
Am I right?
All right, I got it. Thank you.
-See? What did I tell you?
-It's rising like a tide that lifts boats.
No wonder someone avoided a bet.
He's scared we'll find out
he's working through mere luck.
Xiao-long, I think you should
listen to Chen Che.
It might be too late
when stock prices start to depreciate.
Zhen-zhen, I'm now
a broker extraordinaire, too.
Why is it that you believe him
but not me?
Because he's been accurate
in the past.
Listen, he's living in the past. If he
won't double down, that's his problem.
I don't wanna lose. I wanna win.
Money, money, money.
Hello, Tai Yuan.
A-Wei.
Double down. Go, go, go!
I'm starving. Come on, let's eat.
Why do you have a lighter?
Zhong-en found this
at the scene of Ya-juan's incident.
It could be a clue
to the person who assaulted her.
Are you still trying to find out
who your real father is?
I don't care who he is,
but I can't forgive
the one who hurt Ya-juan.
Zhen-zhen, Chen Che.
You're here.
Sorry for dragging you guys out
during your lunch break.
It's nothing.
What can we do for you?
Do you need help with the wedding?
This Saturday, we're gonna tell my dad
that we're getting married,
and we'd like you two
to help with something.
Sure, no problem. What do you need?
Whatever you do,
just don't ask Zhen-zhen to cater.
What are you talking about?
Just go away.
Sure.
Where are you going?
We haven't had lunch yet.
You told me to leave.
-So you just do as I say?
-Of course.
Why, you
That's enough, Chen Che.
You'll be coming, too.
We owe it all to you.
The least we can do
is buy you dinner.
Thank you both
for always taking care of us.
Xiao-long recently
gave me a tip on stocks.
Its value has been increasing.
I now know why all of you
decided to get into securities.
Money rolls in way faster
compared to my stagnant salary.
Stock value might drop anytime.
You should be more careful.
No worries. Xiao-long told me
he has inside information.
There won't be any problem.
Plus, with a little extra income,
I can take fewer tutoring jobs
and spend more time on Ya-juan.
Chen Che, should I make stewed
or braised pork for Saturday night?
Hey, Chen Che.
You contributed
to Ya-juan and Jin-qin's happiness.
Why aren't you excited
for the gathering?
I'm thinking about
Xiao-long's inside info.
I think something suspicious
is going on.
Xiao-long takes his clients out
every night.
It makes sense
that he'd get tips, right?
And we have a bull market right now.
Every stock makes money.
That's only for now.
Once the index hits 12,000 points,
it would drastically decline,
even dropping below 3,000 points.
Below 3,000 points?
You mean around 2,000 points?
How's that possible?
You don't believe me?
I'll show you something.
This is a market index chart of 1990.
Didn't you say that I shouldn't
know too much about the future?
It'll cause a butterfly effect
or something.
You already know who my mom is.
What difference does this make?
You have a point.
Let me take a look.
Here.
From its peak
at 12,495 points in February,
the market will change.
By October, it will go
all the way down to 2,550 points.
That's almost an 80-percent decline.
Oh, my.
Xiao-long wants to double down.
Chen Che, can you help Xiao-long?
I know he always
tries to go against you,
but that's because of me.
He's actually a really nice guy,
I've always tried to help him.
You know that.
I know.
But we can't show this to him either.
If he knew what you possess,
he would definitely listen to you.
We can't show this to anybody,
or things might
take a turn for the worse.
Mr. Guo, what are you doing here?
Nothing, I was just looking around.
I got bored while waiting. Let's go.
I'm sorry, I was engaged with a client.
Give me a moment and we can go.
Xiao-long. Are you clocking out?
Where are you going?
Mr. Guo is taking me out to dinner
so we can talk.
That's right.
Want to join us? My treat.
Mr. Guo.
Don't waste your time.
He doesn't socialize.
All right. I'll go.
Here, have some more.
-Thank you.
-And have some tofu.
-Just help yourself.
-There we go.
Go on. Eat.
Xiao-long tells me
that you look out for him.
We're all friends here.
It's a given
to watch each other's backs.
Mr. Guo is the best.
My clients made so much money
from the tip on Rui-qun Pharmaceutical.
Even Li Jin-qin bought two shares.
It has been rising two days in a row.
Did you pick the stock based on
news or fundamental analysis?
All right, fine.
We'll let you in on the secret.
Mr. Guo has inside info.
Their company will receive approval
to develop meds for hepatitis B.
Once the info is made public,
their value is gonna go through the roof.
I got the info directly from higher ups
at Rui-qun Pharmaceutical.
If you're interested,
you should get on it
before end of February.
Or else, you'll have to catch up
after the holidays
when the information is made public.
You got that?
When to get in, when to get out
and which stock to pick.
Mr. Guo rarely misses.
He's even better than you.
So, Guo Sheng-tai doesn't just
find clients for Xiao-long.
He's even telling him
which stock to pick.
That's a nice lighter.
You like it? You can have it.
It's okay. Thank you.
Excuse me,
I have to take this call.
These are what we have
on pharmaceutical companies.
But I thought you specialized
in electronics stocks?
Have you heard anything
about Rui-qun Pharmaceutical?
Rui-qun.
Rui-qun.
That's the stock
Lin Xiao-long has been
avidly pushing, right?
There are discrepancies
in the financial statements
provided by the company itself
and the accounting firm.
I'm worried that
Rui-qun Pharmaceuticals
fabricates their statements
to lure unsuspecting investors.
Hey, that's slander.
It's a legitimate suspicion.
The clients recommended by Mr. Guo
asked to invest on this stock, right?
What of it?
And the same clients
started dumping, right?
Furthermore, after these
big clients started to sell,
did Guo Sheng-tai say he has inside info
assuring the numbers' continuous rise?
Did he ask you to push the stock
to other clients?
That adjustment occurs after increases.
It's common knowledge.
People buy and sell stocks
through securities.
Will you accuse everyone
by speculation of fraud?
The fact that he asked you to operate
on specific dates is suspicious.
I believe he's manipulating brokers
to spread false inside info
to independent investors.
You really are a piece of work.
You think, since you got lucky once,
your other predictions are true?
Let's have a wager, shall we?
If you're right, I'll do as you say
without question.
All right. I accept.
Hey, guys. Xiao-long and Chen Che
are finally gonna go at it.
If I guess the closing price for today,
you'll dump all the stocks
you have on hand
and stop taking Guo Sheng-tai's
recommendations in the future.
Deal.
But if you're wrong,
please stop spreading rumors
and causing trouble.
Sir, you are our witness.
If the closing index today
isn't 12,495.34 on the dot,
I lose.
Jeez.
Here we go again.
If I get even one number wrong,
I lose.
Fine by me. Deal.
Okay, I understand. Thank you.
Please don't be 12,495.34.
Sure. No problem.
Hello? Tai Yuan Securities.
I see.
Okay. Goodbye.
Hello? Can you please
hold for a moment?
Please don't
12,495.34
He got it right again.
12,495.34
Pay up!
A deal's a deal.
How's that possible?
-Come on, move it.
-It's just some loose change.
Did you do something
to the machines?!
Or are you a spy from the FSC?!
How is it possible for someone
to predict the closing index?
A deal's a deal.
On Monday morning,
please sell all the stocks
under your management.
Xiao-long, Chen Che isn't
benefiting from this bet. He's just--
Sure, he isn't getting any benefits.
He just wants to embarrass me.
Are you satisfied?!
Stupid. Don't you know he's psychic?
All right. There we go.
All done.
Ya-juan is always
trying to help me save money.
She goes to the night market
to get cheap groceries
and nothing too fancy.
I was thinking that at the rate
the stocks are climbing,
she wouldn't have to go so far
for groceries anymore.
I got wind that the market will shift
by the end of February.
You should cash in what you have
as soon as possible just to be safe.
How come I haven't heard
from Xiao-long?
He probably hasn't heard it yet.
The face value of stocks
can decrease anytime.
You better convert them to cash
and put them to savings.
Savings.
Ya-juan says the same thing.
I can't describe it, but sometimes,
I see Ya-juan in you.
How's the cooking coming?
-Come and see if your dad's gonna like it.
-Sure.
Come on, just feed it to him.
There's no need to be embarrassed.
Come on.
Do it yourself.
It's good.
-Really?
-My dad's gonna like this.
That's great.
I'm gonna put the ladder away.
Be careful not to burn yourself.
Such a beautiful house.
And it's free?
What did you do?
Hello, sir.
I'm Jin-qin's friend from college.
Hello.
-I'm Ya-juan's coworker.
-How do you do?
Ya-juan?
Hello, Uncle.
How is he going to support you?
Can't you see all he has
is an empty promise?
You know Ya-juan is leaving the country,
yet you won't leave her alone.
You're like a thief,
trying to steal my daughter from me.
Your lack of honesty
makes you unworthy of Ya-juan.
What is she doing here?
Dad, this house
belongs to Ya-juan and me.
We plan to get married.
Get married?
You want to marry her?
Have you forgotten
how her mom treated you?
All her mom thinks about is money.
Why would we want to have
anything to do with them?
Dad, what are you doing?
Ya-juan.
See?
-She went away before I could finish.
-She's just having morning sickness.
Morning sickness?
Dad.
She's pregnant. Which is why
we're in a hurry to get married.
-You--
-Whether you approve or not,
I'm gonna start a family
with her and the baby.
Dad.
Ya-juan heard that you love braised tofu,
so she made this especially for you.
Pregnancy is important
in a woman's life.
You must eat nutritious food.
You'll need to be healthy
to care for the baby.
Learn by example
from Jin-qin's mom.
She didn't take good care of herself,
so she passed away early.
Dad.
The food's getting cold.
Come on, let's dig in.
Marriage isn't cheap.
We're gonna be frugal about it.
We're gonna get registered in court.
That won't do.
You can't short-change a lady
because she is pregnant.
You must have a wedding.
You have to observe tradition.
Ya-juan.
We may not be a wealthy family,
but we won't deprive you
of the ceremonies you so deserve.
Don't worry.
We won't embarrass your parents.
Thank you, Uncle.
Come on, dig in.
Come on.
Eat, let's eat.
Thank you.
Listen. You can't let Ya-juan do
any heavy lifting during her pregnancy.
And she shouldn't touch anything sharp
like needles or scissors.
And don't move that bedside table.
It's bad for pregnancy feng shui.
-All right, Dad. I got it.
-Good.
Before I forget.
-Dad, that's your hard-earned money.
-Just take it.
I'm warning you.
Don't you dare mistreat my grandson
and daughter-in-law.
You'll be a father soon.
You must learn to be responsible.
You understand?
Yes, sir.
Dad, don't worry. I'll give
Ya-juan and the child a happy life.
I'm going home.
Dad, take care.
Jin-qin's dad looked so happy.
He completely changed
when he heard you're pregnant.
What wrong? Something on your mind?
I just feel so guilty.
After all, this isn't Jin-qin's child.
Stop that.
Love is more important.
Anyone can see that you two
are truly in love with each other.
Let's not keep Chen Che waiting.
What's wrong? Are you okay?
What was that?
Did you hear that? I heard something!
There was some kind of noise.
Was it this?
I don't want to hear that!
-I don't--
-All right, everything's fine now.
That was the sound I heard that night.
Everything's fine now.
What's on your mind?
The owner of this lighter
must've been the one
who assaulted Ya-juan.
The Christmas banquet
Guo Sheng-tai was there.
He had the same brand of lighter
in his hand the other day.
How's that possible?
If he's the one,
then that makes him your
That's not possible.
There could be
lots of those lighters out there.
There's no way.
There's one person who'd know for sure
if this lighter is Guo Sheng-tai's.
You two dragged me out
to ask about a lighter?
Have you seen it before?
Do you know who owns it?
Xiao-long.
You have to tell us the truth.
It's really important
that we know the truth.
Drink up, come on.
-Xiao-long, come on.
-Mr. Guo.
Xiao-ai, fill this up.
It's all scratched up, Mr. Guo.
Isn't this expensive?
Don't worry about it.
It's just a lighter.
I don't care about such things.
Don't worry.
It's Mr. Guo's.
Are you sure?
Can't you take another look?
I'm sure. I recognize the scratches.
That belongs to Mr. Guo.
Is something wrong?
Is anything wrong with the lighter?
Did you see Ya-juan
and Guo Sheng-tai together
at the Christmas banquet?
I saw them talk to each other
before the banquet started.
I think it was when everyone was
putting presents under the tree.
Thank you.
Do you work
at Tai Yuan Securities as well?
Yes, but I'm leaving soon.
We've met before, haven't we?
I know who you are.
Thank you for helping Xiao-long.
He's a good friend of ours.
So you're in the Golden Team of Five?
Excuse me.
Mr. Guo.
Did anyone catch your eye?
Just let me know, I'll introduce you.
Worry about your own love life first,
okay?
That's all I can remember
before I passed out.
Chen Che!
Chen Che.
Chen Che.
Chen Che, open the door. Chen Che.
I'm the son of a wanted criminal?
Chen Che. Are you all right?
Chen Che.
What's wrong? Are you okay? Chen Che!
Open the door, Chen Che!
What should I do?
-Mr. Guo.
-Where are Chen Che and Ye Zhen-zhen?
In the bathroom, I think.
You sounded urgent on the phone.
What's up?
Is this Chen Che's bag?
-Mr. Guo, what are you doing?
-Looking for something that I need.
-You can't do that without permission.
-Back off!
What are you two doing?
-Why is that with you? Give it back!
-It's mine!
-Why are you stealing this?!
-Give it to me!
Guo Sheng-tai, stop!
Chen Che,
he took that cell thing of yours.
Zhen-zhen,
what on earth is going on?
Xiao-long, what's wrong with you?
Chen Che is your friend!
What did I do?
Are you all right?
What did he want with your stuff?
Don't you remember?
I have all the stock info on that phone.
Guo Sheng-tai is bad news.
He'll cause
an irreversible butterfly effect.
Could it be
that this moment is what caused
the stock market crash?
We have to stop him.
What should we do?
Sorry, we'll borrow this.
We can cover more ground on bicycles.
Come on, let's go.
Zhen-zhen! Wait up!
Bicycle.
Of course. It's broken.
Zhen-zhen! Zhen-zhen!
Give me back my stuff!
From the looks of it,
what's in this item
must be very important to you.
Go over there.
If he gets hold of stock info,
consequences would be grave.
Two people can be so close
despite being 27 years apart.
