San Cai's parents are moving their stuff from the fishing village back to Taipei to live with San Cai. They get into the truck with their stuff and starts singing. Meanwhile, San Cai is waking up in her bed.
San Cai (thinking): “Summer is here. Dad finally found a job selling cars and he and ma ma are moving back to Taipei. Our family can be together again. I think this is a sign of good things to come. Even I and Dao Ming Si have not argued for 2 months.”
San Cai is sitting on the steps waiting for her parents.
Mom (yelling): “San Cai! Very happy.”
Mom is on the back of the truck and dad is holding her hands asking her to jump.
Mom: “I’m scared to jump.”
Dad: “It’s ok. (She jumps off) You’re very heavy. And you’re getting fat.”
San Cai (running over to her parents): “Ma!” (hugging mom)
Dad (looking at SC hugging her mom): “It’s all my fault. Made the two of you live such a hard life. But don’t worry, from this day on, I will do my best. So that we can have good days again.”
San Cai: “Pa. (hugging dad) Let’s move all the stuff inside.”
Mom: “No, no. San Cai leave the things for dad to move.”
Dad (looking at mom ): “Huh?”
Mom: “Shouldn’t you be going to school today?”
Dad: “Right San Cai. You can leave the stuff, your mom can help out too, since she’s become so fat these days, she needs the exercise. Uh, isn’t today Ah Si’s graduation ceremony?”
San Cai: “How did you know about this? Also please don’t pretend you know him so well. Even if it’s their graduation, what’s the big deal? Even if it’s a big deal, it’s Ying De school’s big day.”
Mom (shouting): “STOP! You go to school immediately!”
Dad: “Oh, ok. I go now.”
Mom (pulling dad back): “Pig head. Not you!”
San Cai (thinking): “Right. Good luck is finally here. After Dao Ming Si, this pig head, graduates, Ying De school’s good days are finally here.”
The school grounds is all set up for the graduation ceremony. All the students file into their seats. The principal goes onto the stage and is making a speech. San Cai & Qing He is standing within the crowd.
Qing He: “San Cai, the ceremony has started but F4 still hasn’t shown up yet.”
San Cai: “How am I to know.”
Far away a shiny black car and red car is driving at full speed down the road. In the middle of the road, the words “F4 Don’t Go” is written out with white and red flower petals. When the two cars drive by, the speed from the cars made the petals flow all around. The cars finally stopped right next to each other and from the red car, Dao Ming Si & Lei comes out, while in the black car, Mei Zuo & Xi Men comes out. Everybody turns around, clapping, screaming and confetti is thrown everywhere as F4 passes by.
Qing He: “They’re here, they’re here. F4 is F4, even the graduation ceremony is so different.”
San Cai: “What’s the difference? Childish.”
The principal keeps talking, but no one is listening. F4 goes up on stage and stands next to the principal.
Dao Ming Si: “Where’s my diploma?”
Principal (hesitating for a second): “Ok, let’s hand out the diploma and Dao Ming Si will represent the graduating class.”
After handing Dao Ming Si the diploma, the principal shakes hands with Dao Ming Si. As he continues talking, 4 helicopters labeled F4 flies overhead dispersing flower petals down creating a whirlwind of petals.
San Cai (thinking): “It’s like this, the graduation ceremony under F4’s entry into the scene, finishes. F4 leaves. Ying De school should be more quiet from now on.”
F4 is sitting on the grass with their diplomas, chatting.
Qing He & San Cai watches them from afar.
Qing He: “F4 is so cool. Helicopters dispersing flower petals, that’s so cool. Oh I know. I have to get F4’s autographs.” (he runs off toward F4 with San Cai standing there smiling)
San Cai (thinking): “I think, Ying De school returning to normal, without F4 would definitely be missing a lot of laughter.”
F4 and San Cai are at a bar.
Xi Men (talking to the crowd in the bar): “Everybody. Tonight’s bill is on us, F4.”
Everybody cheers. Dao Ming Si puts his arms around San Cai’s shoulders, hugging her.
Mei Zuo (trying to break them apart): “Hey, hey… that’s enough. Enough of this.”
San Cai (embarrassed): “Stop playing around.”
Xi Men (laughing): “Look at you two, your face is turning red. (speaking to Mei Zuo) Get the map. (putting his arms round Dao Ming Si & San Cai) Let’s party!”
Mei Zuo spreading a map in front of Dao Ming Si & San Cai.
San Cai (looking at the map): “What’s this?”
Mei Zuo: “Help us find a place for our graduation vacation.”
San Cai: “Why not throw a dart to pick a place?”
Xi Men: “Whatever. Since we’ve been to all the places already.”
Mei Zuo: “Right. Hurry up.”
San Cai: “How can it be whatever?”
Dao Ming Si: “Well, then where do you want to go?”
San Cai thinks for a few minutes before replying.
San Cai: “How about Kan Ting [a place in Taiwan]?”
Dao Ming Si: “Kan Ting?!?!? You are so dumb.”
San Cai turns away and doesn’t talk. Mei Zuo & Xi Men sees this and in order to avoid an argument from breaking out, takes matters into their own hands. Xi Men picks up the map and walks over to the wall to hang it up. Mei Zuo uses a dart and throws it at the map.
Xi Men: “Hey. I’m not even
ready and you threw it. What happens if it hits me?”
Mei Zuo: “How would I hit you? (going up to the map) I wanted to hit here.
(looks to see where the dart hit) And here is… Spain. That’s where
we said we’d go. Wanna go to Espanol? Huh?”
Xi Men (walking back to Dao Ming Si & San Cai): “Ok, it’s decided. San Cai have your passport ready tomorrow.”
San Cai: “Why?”
Mei Zuo: “To go with us together to our graduation vacation.”
San Cai: “Spain? I don’t have money.”
Dao Ming Si: “Are you a pig? I’ll pay for you.”
San Cai: “Who wants your money?”
Xi Men: “Then pretend you’re borrowing from Ah Si and return it when
you can.”
San Cai: “Use borrowed?”
Xi Men: “Yes.”
San Cai: “Borrowed? (turning to look at Mei Zuo) Then it’s clear that it’s borrowed, you hear? Lei, you heard? I’m borrowing from him. (to Dao Ming Si) Then I’ll work to pay you back.”
Dao Ming Si: “You are very… forget it. (speaking to Mei Zuo) Hey, help me get money tomorrow.”
San Cai (looking at Dao Ming Si): “We’re really going to Spain?”
Dao Ming Si: “Nonsense.”
San Cai (getting excited and throwing her hands up in the air): “I’m going to Spain!”
Dao Ming Si, Mei Zuo & Xi Men look at each other as if she’s gone crazy.
San Cai (talking to herself): “I wonder how Spain looks like.”
Next morning Dao Ming Si & San Cai is driving to the airport. They met up with F3 at the airport.
Xi Men (walking over to Dao Ming Si & San Cai): “Why are you guys so slow? Give me your passport. I’ll go check in.”
Everybody hands Xi Men their passport while San Cai is searching around in her backpack.
Mei Zuo: “San Cai, where’s yours?”
San Cai (searching her bag): “How can this be?”
Dao Ming Si (looking at her): “What’s wrong?”
San Cai (looking at Dao Ming Si): “I think I’ve forgotten to bring my passport.”
Dao Ming Si: “Huh?”
San Cai kneels down on the floor and opens up one of her suitcases and looks
around inside.
Lei: “San Cai, don’t panic. Look carefully.”
Dao Ming Si (annoyed): “Are you a pig? Have you never traveled before? How can you not bring your passport?”
San Cai: “I didn’t do it on purpose.”
Dao Ming Si: “If you didn’t want to go, then don’t go. Why’d you trick me for?”
San Cai (getting angry): “Did you think I want to forget? Why would I trick you for?”
Dao Ming Si: “You go home now and get it for me.”
San Cai (standing up and glaring at Dao Ming Si): “Why do I have to go home and GET IT for you? I’m not going, how’s that?”
Dao Ming Si (getting angry too): “You…”
Dao Ming Si & San Cai are gtaring at each other, both very angry.
Xi Men (trying to calm them down): “Ok already. Stop arguing. We can always take the next flight.”
San Cai (drops down to the floor, angrily throwing her things back into the suitcase): “Don’t have to. I wish you guys have a safe flight.”
Mei Zuo: “San Cai.”
Qing He (running over): “San Cai, San Cai, I’m here.”
San Cai (standing up): “Qing He, Ma.”
Mom: “4 masters, how are you. San Cai. Good thing I got here on time. Can you make the flight? How can you leave your passport on top of the table at home? Good thing ma ma’s home and good thing Qing He, this Qing He master, drove his car over to bring me here.”
Qing He: “Auntie called me and I rushed over. San Cai (he takes San Cai’s passport from San Cai’s mom’s hands) I’m still like before. No matter what you need, I, Qing He, will look after you. I’ve also brought my passport (taking his passport out from his pocket). Later I’m going to go over to the counter and buy a ticket then I can go with you. I will take care of you on the way.”
Dao Ming Si (pointing his finger at Qing He’s chest with each word he says): “Hey, hey, hey.”
Xi Men (calling Qing He by the nickname): “Thank you for bringing the passport, but I think you’ve done your job.”
San Cai: “Qing He, thank you. But I’ve decided not to go.”
Qing He: “Ha ha ha, she’s not going…”
Xi Men comes over and pushes Qing He away.
Mom: “San Cai, weren’t you really happy? Why all of a sudden you decided not to go?”
Lei walks over to stand between San Cai & Dao Ming Si.
Lei: “Now we have the passport. But I think if someone would apologize, then this matter could be settled.”
Lei is looking at Dao Ming Si when he’s saying this. Xi Men standing to the left of Dao Ming Si is smiling his head off. Dao Ming Si is looking around pretending he didn’t hear anything.
Dao Ming Si (feeling Lei’s stare, turns to look at Lei): “Why do I have to apologize?”
Qing He: “Right. Right. How can Dao Ming Si apologize?”
Mei Zuo sticks his elbow at Qing He. Qing He falls back with his hand over his chest. San Cai walks over to the luggage cart and takes down her other suitcase.
Lei: “Well, if that’s the case then… Xi Men, you go check in first.”
Xi Men (looking at Dao Ming Si): “Then I’m going to check in.”
Lei: “Qing He, then can you please take San Cai and Auntie home?”
Qing He: “Uh, ok, ok.”
San Cai: “Ma, let’s go.”
Mom: “No don’t. San Cai.”
Qing He: “Auntie, let’s go.”
Mom: “San Cai how can this be?”
San Cai: “We’re going home.”
Dao Ming Si (suddenly speaks): “I’m
sorry ok?”
San Cai stops walking.
Mom: “I think I heard someone say I am sorry.”
San Cai turns around and looks at Dao Ming Si.
San Cai: “Actually I was wrong too.”
Mei Zuo (walking up to Dao Ming Si): “So apologizing works better than the police.”
Dao Ming Si hits Mei Zuo with his elbow. Then smiles at San Cai and San Cai smiles back.
At the departure gate:
Mom: “Master Ah Si. This is something that I went to the temple to get for the two of you. (she takes out a lucky charm) Here, wear it around your neck.”
Dao Ming Si: “Do I have to?”
Mom: “Yes, have to. It’s for protection.”
Xi Men walks over.
Xi Men: “It’s time to go in.”
San Cai: “Ma, I’m going. Bye. Bye Qing He. Thank you.”
Mom (calling out): “Master Ah Si. I’m giving my precious San Cai over to you ok? (she starts crying)
San Cai (embarrassed): “Ma, I’m only going for vacation for a couple of days. You don’t have to be like this.”
Mom (wiping her tears): “Oh ok. Then I wish you all a safe travel ok?”
San Cai: “Ok, Ma, bye. Qing He, bye.”
Mom (yelling after them): “Have to take care of my San Cai. Bye bye.”
As Dao Ming Si & San Cai is walking through the gates, F3 stayed behind.
Dao Ming Si: “Hey what are you doing? Come on.”
Mei Zuo (teasing): “The 3 of us shouldn’t tag along on your honeymoon.”
Dao Ming Si & San Cai together: “WHAT?”
Xi Men: “Let’s just say that if I go with you guys and have to watch all your lovey-dovey moments, I think I would throw up.”
Dao Ming Si: “Hey!”
Qing He: San Cai, if they don’t go, then I’ll go with you.”
Xi Men pushes Qing He away.
Lei (takes out a letter and hands it to Dao Ming Si): “Ah Si, this is for you.”
Dao Ming Si (trying to open it):
“What is it?”
Lei (stopping him): “Open it when you get to Spain.”
San Cai: “What’s the mystery
all about?”
Lei: “Ok, you guys should go in.”
Xi Men: “Safe travels.”
Dao Ming Si & San Cai then leaves.
In Spain:
San Cai is very excited.
San Cai (pulling Dao Ming Si along): “Dao Ming Si, move faster.”
They both stood in front of Sagrada Familia building.
San Cai (in awe): “I’m going to faint. Is this for real? Is this really a church? It’s really Spain’s most famous church!”
Dao Ming Si (teasing her): “Why are you so touched?”
San Cai: “God. Dao Ming Si, look, right in front of us is the structure built by the famous architect.”
Dao Ming Si: “I know already. Stop acting like this ok? It’s so embarrassing.”
San Cai: “Saint Church. (shouting) Gaudi is really talented!”
Dao Ming Si: “Are you crazy? (pause) Some people say that he had problems with his behavior because when he was little he had this illness. So that’s why he thinks about things all the time. (looking at the church) Don’t you think this thing he made is very weird? It looks so strange.”
San Cai: “Stupid. This kind of person is a genius. Genius and nut head is so different but with your IQ, of course, if you don’t recognize a genius, then you would recognize a nut head.”
Dao Ming Si: “I only see a nut head? (pause) Right, right… There’s so many beautiful girls in this world, why would I like one that’s crazy?”
San Cai narrows her eyes at him and then smiles.
Dao Ming Si: “Do you want to
go in and take a look?
San Cai: “No, only if you carry me.”
Dao Ming Si: “I carry you? Wishful thinking.”
San Cai: “Hey, how can you be
like this? Why can’t you carry me?”
Dao Ming Si: “Then you carry me.”
The next few scenes is of Dao Ming Si & San Cai going around the city exploring.
San Cai: “Barcelona is really very beautiful.”
Dao Ming Si: “Are you happy?”
San Cai (smiling): “Not only happy, I’m very, very happy.”
Dao Ming Si: “Do you know that before I met you, I didn’t know what happiness meant?”
Dao Ming Si continues walking. San Cai stops and stares at his back. Dao Ming Si turns around and holds out his left hand.
Dao Ming Si: “Hold tight or
you’ll get lost.”
San Cai slips her hand in Dao Ming Si’s and they run off together.
At night Dao Ming Si & San Cai goes back to their room in the hotel.
San Cai (staring at the bed): “We’re sharing the same room?”
Dao Ming Si: “What are you so nervous for? I’m the same as before.”
San Cai flashes back to the time when they were on vacation with F3, and she and Dao Ming Si shared a room, where he told her he will not let the girl that he likes sleep on a sofa. During dinner, Dao Ming Si & San Cai are eating a romantic dinner with a guy playing a guitar and singing nearby. After dinner, San Cai is standing outside on the balcony staring out at the night scenery. Dao Ming Si walks out to the balcony.
Dao Ming Si: “Still not sleeping
yet?”
San Cai: “Maybe because it’s the time difference and also there’s
such a pretty night scenery, how can I sleep?”
Dao Ming Si walks up to her and wraps his arms around her. He hugs her for a while more then goes to bed.
Dao Ming Si: “Good night.”
San Cai: “Good night, Dao Ming Si.”
Next morning San Cai gets up and dresses. She walks over to where Dao Ming Si is sleeping on the couch.
San Cai: “Wake up already. Hurry up and wake up. (grabbing Dao Ming Si’s arm and pulling) Stop sleeping and bring me out to look around.”
Dao Ming Si (pulling his arm back): “I’m still feeling the jet lag. Let me sleep a bit more.”
San Cai (shaking Dao Ming Si): “Stop sleeping. I don’t care. Wake up now.”
Dao Ming Si (popped up on his elbow): “You want me to get up right?”
San Cai nods her head.
Dao Ming Si (throwing away his blanket): “Then you must let me get a hug first.”
San Cai screams and runs away, yelling, “Stop playing!”
They go touring the city again, looking at stuff, taking pictures, and having lots of fun. Back in Taiwan, F3 is at a club drinking. Dao Ming Si & San Cai took pictures and SMS over to F3’s phone for them to see. Dao Ming Si & San Cai continue walking around. When they walk pass a bakery shop, San Cai pulls Dao Ming Si back.
San Cai: “Dao Ming Si. Look.” (pointing to a strawberry mousse cake through the window)
Dao Ming Si: “What?”
They bought a slice of the cake and sits down at a table to eat, both sharing one slice. They are both taking one bite at a time and enjoying the cake, when Dao Ming Si quickly picks the strawberry that was on top and stuffs it in his mouth.
San Cai (staring at him): “Hey, you are so tricky.”
Dao Ming Si: “Then I’ll owe you a strawberry.”
San Cai (smiling): “Then you must remember to return it.”
Dao Ming Si (smiling back): “Don’t worry. I will use my whole life to return it to you.”
They smiled at each other again, and San Cai picks up a napkin and wipes Dao Ming Si’s mouth. Dao Ming Si also picks up a napkin and wipes San Cai’s mouth.
After eating, they continue exploring, coming across a fountain of some sort.
San Cai (running over to the fountain): “Look, it’s the fountain on the postcard.”
San Cai runs over and takes a sip of water from the fountain. Then she puts some in her palms and brings it over to Dao Ming Si.
San Cai (holding her palm up): “Drink some.”
Dao Ming Si: “No, that’s ok.”
San Cai: “Come on, it’s very cool.”
Dao Ming Si: “I don’t want to drink, why are you making me?”
San Cai: “This book says that if you drink the fountain’s water, then you would be back to Barcelona. I drank it already. Don’t drink it then. Who wants to come back with you anyway?”
San Cai walks away. Dao Ming Si stands there thinking, a smile coming up on his face. Then he walks over to the fountain and drinks some water. San Cai turns back and sees him drinking. She smiles at him and Dao Ming Si smiles back. They continue walking and come across a market place with lots of vendors selling things.
San Cai (holding up a tiny gun): “Look.”
Dao Ming Si: “What’s there
to look at?”
San Cai: “It’s so cute.”
They look around some more then San Cai spots a ring at one of the stands and picks it up. The ring has three stars as a design. She slips it onto her finger.
San Cai (showing Dao Ming Si): “Look, this meteor star ring is so cute.”
Dao Ming Si: “It’s ok.
Nothing special.”
San Cai: “But it’s very cute.”
Dao Ming Si: “You like it? I’ll buy it for you.”
San Cai takes the ring off.
San Cai: “No, that’s ok.”
She puts the ring back and turns to walk away. Dao Ming Si follows and grabs her arm.
Dao Ming Si: “Hey, how can you like it but don’t want it?"
San Cai: “Because, who gives rings as a present for no reason at all? Let’s go.”
San Cai walks away. Dao Ming Si turns back and stares at the ring.
Next scene Dao Ming Si buys a balloon for San Cai.
Dao Ming Si (handing San Cai the balloon): “Miss San Cai, I’m handing my happiness to you.”
San Cai couldn’t hold on to it fast enough and the balloon flew away. Dao Ming Si & San Cai both stare at the balloon flying away.
Dao Ming Si: “It’s ok. I’ll go buy another one.”
San Cai: “Forget it, Dao Ming Si.”
But Dao Ming Si was already running away to buy more balloons and during this time, San Cai gets lost. She ran all over the place and can’t find Dao Ming Si. Dao Ming Si bringing a whole bunch of balloons back finds San Cai missing.
Dao Ming Si (looking around): “San Cai. San Cai.”
Dao Ming Si started running around to look for San Cai. Finally he spots her.
Dao Ming Si (yelling): “San Cai.”
San Cai sees him and looks very relieved.
San Cai: “Dao Ming Si.”
They both ran toward each and hug.
Dao Ming Si: “Sorry. I lost you again.”
San Cai: “I was so scared.”
Dao Ming Si: “There won’t be a next time. I promise there won’t be. (holding San Cai at arms length and staring at her) Promise me, if we ever get lost in the future, just stay in one place and don’t move, I would definitely come and find you. Do you hear me?”
San Cai (nodding her head): “Dao Ming Si. I was just thinking if there’s no you, then what would I do?”
Dao Ming Si (wrapping his arms around San Cai again): “Dummy. You would never not have me. Never.”
Back at the hotel that night, with balloons filling the whole ceiling, San Cai and Dao Ming Si are on the bed writing a postcard. One is writing on one half, the other is writing on the other half. In the middle of his writing, Dao Ming Si started inching closer to San Cai. San Cai seeing him come closer, starts moving away. Finally, he grabs her and after struggling on the bed for a while, he manages to kiss her. After San Cai went to sleep, Dao Ming Si sits on the sofa and takes out the letter that Lei gave to him at the airport and reads it.
Next morning, San Cai wakes up to find Dao Ming Si gone already.
San Cai (running over to the couch): “Dao Ming Si.”
All she finds was a gift box tied with a big red ribbon on the coffee table. San Cai goes over to the gift and reads the card written by Dao Ming Si.
Card: “Hurry up and get dressed. I’ve taken care of the hotel’s driver, he’ll wait for you downstairs and bring you to find me.”
San Cai: “How can he do this? Leave me here all alone and went out to play.”
San Cai opens up the box to find a beautiful white cap-sleeved dress. Meanwhile, Dao Ming Si is back at the market place buying the ring that San Cai likes. He bought the ring and gets back into his black BMW and drove away in a rush. As he is driving, something went wrong with one of the tires, so he stops on the side and got out. Some guy driving a red car stops to help, and Dao Ming Si, grabbing the flowers from the BMW, gives the guy a wad of money, drives away in the guy’s car.
The driver dropped San Cai off at an old church. She walked up to the church and looked around. As she was looking at the church, her cell phone rang.
San Cai: “Hello?”
Dao Ming Si: “San Cai, are you there already?”
San Cai: “Yes, I’m here.”
Dao Ming Si: “Good, I’ll be right there. Ok. Bye.”
Dao Ming Si was driving very fast and as he was driving he took the ring out and was looking at it. Meanwhile, San Cai is praying inside the church. As Dao Ming Si was looking at the ring, he suddenly drops it and it rolled underneath the seat. He bends down to look for it. Once he finds it, he gets up but at the same time, the car that Michelle was driving was going at a fast speed too. Dao Ming Si tried to swerve away without hitting Michelle’s car and as a result, Dao Ming Si’s car went spinning, hit against a ledge, turned over on its back, skidded into a light pole and crashed. As the car crashed against the light pole, there was a loud crunching sound. San Cai, who was waiting at the church, seems to have felt the crash, because she quickly turned and looked around at the same time that the loud crunching sound happened. Dao Ming Si falls down on the floor, his face in pain, his forehead smeared with blood. Meanwhile his hand that was holding the ring, dropped and the ring rolled away. Michelle gets up on her car and stares at the scene in shock.
The end.
Summary of MG2 Episode 2:
San Cai is still waiting for Dao Ming Si at the church. She opens the door and walks in.
San Cai (calling out): “Dao Ming Si. (no answer) Wow, this buddy. Has a lot of ‘size.’ How did he know about this wonderful place? Ok, I’ll give him 10 points. But he make me wait all alone for him, this big master, take away 10 points. (she starts counting on her fingers) Then if I add all the points up, there’s a total of 55 points.”
After waiting for a long time, San Cai takes out her cell phone to call Dao Ming Si. She gets his voicemail instead.
Dao Ming Si’s voicemail message: “Hello. This is Dao Ming Si. I can’t take your call right now, please leave a message.”
San Cai (leaving a message): “Pig head. You only have 20 points left. Hurry up and return my call.”
San Cai hangs up the phone.
San Cai (talking to herself): “Could something have happened? (pause) He must be playing a trick on me. Must be.”
She gets mad and picking up her bag, she started to walk out of the church, but then stops.
San Cai (stomping back to the bench): “Give you another 10 minutes. Deduct until I get to zero.”
San Cai is still waiting for Dao Ming Si but this time, she’s sitting on the church steps outside. Suddenly she jumps up and runs back to the entrance of the church.
San Cai (yelling): “Dao Ming Si. Are you playing a trick on me? Hurry up and come out. (no answer) Ok, you win. I’m really scared now. Hurry up and come out! (still no answer) Dao Ming Si!”
She runs back outside and yells, “Dao Ming Si! Dao Ming Si!”
Still no answer, so she takes her phone out and dials Dao Ming Si’s number and gets the voicemail again.
San Cai (thinking): “It’s not right. This is not right at all. Even if he was playing a trick on me, he wouldn’t… What to do? What to do now?”
San Cai finally thinks of something and dials Jing’s number. Back at the hotel, San Cai is lying on the bed staring up at the balloons up on the ceiling. She hears a noise outside the door and runs to open it.
San Cai (thinking it was Dao Ming Si): “You pig…”
It was the guy that lives across to their room opening the door. He turns and says, “Good night.” San Cai replies back, “Good night.”
She closes the door and leans against the wall, sliding toward the floor. She sits there with her arms wrapped around her knees.
San Cai (thinking): “My heart feels very uneasy. Have never felt this uneasy before. Being red tagged by F4, being kicked out of the house by the landlord with no where to go, Dao Ming Si’s mom’s scary way of doing things. I’ve never felt this uneasy. Because at this time, I could still feel, no matter if it’s to the ends of the earth, he will always be in front of me blocking all the problems. But this time, I have this feeling that the thing that is blocking me is not Dao Ming Si anymore, it’s a cloud of darkness.”
Next morning, San Cai is still sitting by the door when the door bell rings. San Cai jumps up to open the door only to find Jing there.
Jing: “San Cai.”
San Cai: “Jing Xue Jia.” San Cai & Jing hug each other.
Jing takes San Cai outside to look around for Dao Ming Si. San Cai stands there hugging Dao Ming Si’s jacket close to her, while Jing is making a call.
Jing (talking on cell phone): “I’m sorry. I have to take these 2 days off. Thank you. I’ll be thinking of all of you. Yes. Bye.”
San Cai (still hugging Dao Ming Si’s jacket): “Jing Xue Jia, sorry for the trouble that it caused for your job.”
Jing: “Why do you have to say sorry to me? I have to thank you. These days, I’ve been so busy, but when I come across trouble, I would always think about all of you. I’m glad I came over here to rest a bit or else I would have finished everything here and go back to Taiwan.”
San Cai: “Xue Jia, would he have returned to Taiwan all by himself?”
Jing: “Why would he return to Taiwan for no reason? Can’t be. From Ah Si’s personality, he wouldn’t possibly leave you all alone here by yourself.”
San Cai: “Who said it’s not possible? Isn’t he leaving me all by myself now?”
Jing: “Don’t get mad. I’ve known Ah Si for a long time, he wouldn’t leave you here all by yourself. Maybe he’s now planning a surprise for you.”
San Cai: “Surprise? (she looks up, thinking of something) Xue Jia, I remember!”
San Cai and Jing runs back to the market place where San Cai saw the ring.
San Cai (looking around the stand):
“Weird. The ring is missing.”
Seller (speaking Spanish): “May I help you? (he recognizes San Cai) Ah,
Miss, it is you. I’m really sorry. I wanted to sell you the ring but someone
already bought it.”
San Cai (looking at Jing): “What did he say?”
Jing: “He said there’s a story behind the ring.”
Jing and San Cai is driving toward the church.
San Cai: “So the ring is supposed to be a pair? The other one is missing. There’s a saying, (Jing and San Cai drives past the place that Dao Ming Si got into an accident. The red car was still lying there overturned. San Cai stares out at it from the window’s car.) if you don’t wait until the other ring is together with its mate and you buy the one that’s there, the person who buys the ring would have something bad happen to them. So, this seller, refuses to sell the ring all along. But… yesterday, Ah Si didn’t listen to him and bought the ring.”
San Cai and Jing arrives at the church. They get out of the car and both runs into the church to find it empty.
San Cai: “He bought the ring and asked me to come here. Why did he ask me to come here? Why did he have to buy the ring? Why did I have to like this ring? Bad things. God, he really met with an accident.”
Jing: “Don’t panic. Let’s call the police first. I’ll go out to get my phone.”
San Cai: “I have.”
She searches for her phone inside Dao Ming Si’s jacket’s pocket and takes it out, dropping the letter from Lei in the process.
Jing walks forward and picks up the letter. She opens it and reads it. After reading it, Jing looks really sad.
San Cai (taking the letter from Jing): “What’s wrong? What does it say? (reading out loud) Ah Si, you must be very thankful now that you don’t have us bothering you. (turns to Lei’s voice) I seem to be able to feel you and San Cai’s happiness. Two people in love, must be a very precious happiness. I really wish you the best from the bottom of my heart. Near Barcelona, there’s a church called St. Pons Church. There used to be a legend. The legend says that it is a lovers’ place. The lovers who go there to pray will have the blessings from the angels for eternal happiness. I used to hope that Jing and I can get the blessing like the legend says. So the last time when I left France, I came to Barcelona and stayed for 2 days. I asked Jing to come – that was my last wish. (San Cai’s voice reading again) But I waited in front of the church for one day and one night, she never came. Ah Si, help me to make this legend come true, ok? Wish the best for you and San Cai.”
Jing is silently crying as San Cai was reading the letter.
San Cai (starting to cry): “So he wanted to… stupid. You stupid. If only you opened your mouth to ask, it doesn’t matter where it is. Dao Ming Si, you stupid.”
Jing and San Cai stayed at the church crying.
Back in Taiwan, Lei is staring out into the night when his cell phone rang. Lei picks up the phone, seeing the name and smiles.
Lei: “Hello? San Cai. You should have accepted Ah Si’s marriage proposal, right? (pauses & listening, Lei loses the smile on his face, becoming very solemn and serious) Don’t panic. I will come over right away.”
He hangs up the phone and dials Xi Men’s phone.
Lei: “Hello, Xi Men. Something happened to Ah Si.”
In a winery in Barcelona, Sha Ge is sitting at a table drinking wine with a bunch of people. He gets a phone call from Michelle.
Sha Ge: “Yes. Ya Sha? What is wrong? Huh? Ok, ok, I’ll be right there. I’ll be right there.”
Michelle is pacing in the hallway of the hospital. She seems to be very nervous and scared. Sha Ge runs in through the entrance.
Sha Ge (seeing Michelle): “Ya Sha!”
Michelle: “Sha Ge! You’re finally here. (she hugs him) I’m so scared of the hospital.”
Sha Ge (trying to calm Michelle down): “Don’t be scared. Sha Ge is here. Everything will be fine. What about you? Are you ok? What about this person?”
Michelle: “He doesn’t seem to be hurt badly. The doctor said just as long as he wakes up, he’ll be fine. But what if…”
Sha Ge: “Pay, pay, pay. There’s no what ifs. You are lucky, he is lucky. Spain’s doctors are very good. I have a feeling that everything is ok.”
Michelle: “You have to understand…”
Sha Ge takes Michelle’s hands and leads her over to a bench to sit.
Sha Ge: “Come. Let me tell you a true, funny story. Did you know that I was in a car accident before too? I hit a person so badly that his arms and legs were broken. I was so nervous that I almost went to jump off a building. But do you know what happened in the end? After this person was released from the hospital, he and his whole family came to thank me. The reason is, because of the car accident, he got a big payment from the insurance company and the money that I gave him and also helped to save the marriage relationship between him and his wife. So all of a sudden a bad person becomes a benefactor! Is that funny or what?”
He starts laughing but Michelle just keep on staring at him.
Sha Ge (when he sees that Michelle is not laughing, he stops too): “I think it’s not funny either. Hey. It’s not your fault. Let us just run away.”
Michelle (looks at him in disgust): “Do I look like that kind of person?
Sha Ge: “I’m not that kind of person either.”
Michelle: “How could this have happened?”
Sha Ge: “Chinese have a saying that this is fate. Doesn’t matter if it’s good or bad, if something happens then it’s meant to be. But I can be sure of something now too and that is, the things that happen to our good Ya Sha, that God has planned out, then it must not be a bad thing.”
Michelle (smiles): “Do you know why, after I came to Spain, I didn’t leave?”
Sha Ge (laughs): “Of course, I know. Because you will miss me!”
Michelle: “I’ve very, very happy that I’ve met you, Sha Ge.”
Sha Ge: “Ah, I can’t take it anymore. This is a compliment from the angels. I feel faint. Please find me a doctor. Aye, doctor. Doctor.”
Dao Ming Si is on a hospital bed with an oxygen mask over his mouth. There is a big bandage all around his head. Michelle and Sha Ge is standing there looking at him. Michelle sees Dao Ming Si’s fingers moving slightly.
Michelle: “Sha Ge. Look.”
Dao Ming Si slowly opens his eyes.
Michelle (waving): “Hi (speaking Spanish) how are you feeling? (no answer) (speaking English) Are you ok? (still no answer) (speaking Cantonese) How are you?
Dao Ming Si (weakly): “Who are you?”
Sha Ge: “He knows how to speak. If he can speak, then he’s ok.”
Michelle: “Sorry, I am Ya Sha. I’m the one that got you into this mess. Even though the police said that we were in a car accident because you were speeding, but I still feel that I’m also responsible. So these couple of days, I’ve been here looking after you. Because you don’t have any ID on you, I don’t know how to contact your family. Do you need me to contact anyone for you? Also what’s your name?”
Dao Ming Si stares at her blankly.
Sha Ge: “Hey, don’t tell me you can’t remember who you are. Huh?”
Dao Ming Si closes his eyes and goes back to sleep.
Next day, in a patient room, Ye Sha was sitting in front of Dao Ming Si’s bed drawing a picture. Dao Ming Si slowly wakes up.
Michelle (seeing him wake up): “You’re awake. Congratulations, you’ve passed the critical period. You should be hungry, right? What do you want to eat? (she gets up and goes to get the fruit basket) We have pears, apples, peaches, and grapes from the winery.”
She brings it over but Dao Ming Si gets scared and backs away from her.
Michelle (trying to reassure him): “Don’t worry. I’m a good person.”
She sits down on his bed and he quickly scoots back.
Michelle: “What would you like to eat? (Dao Ming Si gets agitated and starts moving around) Don’t move your arm. Be careful. Ok, ok. I’m not moving. I’m not touching you. I’m moving away. I know you must hate me because I’m the one that got you like this. I’m sorry. (pause) I found something at the place of the accident. Don’t know if it’s yours.”
She goes and takes out the meteor star ring.
Michelle (holding up the ring to
show Dao Ming Si): “It’s a ring. Is it yours? Take a look.”
Dao Ming Si stares at the ring and trying to remember.
Michelle: “Look. Is it yours?”
Dao Ming Si stares very hard, then he gets very violent and jumps up out of
the bed.
Michelle (backing up): “What are you doing?”
Dao Ming Si: “What is this place? Why am I here? Why? Why am I here?”
He starts tearing all the IV tubes from his arm. Then he grabs Michelle by the shoulders and slams her into the wall.
Dao Ming Si (yelling): “Tell me. Who am I? What am I… Who are you?”
Michelle: “Calm down.”
Dao Ming Si: “Tell me. You tell me!”
The ring that Michelle was holding drops to the floor. Blood drips down from Dao Ming Si’s arm to Michelle’s hand.
Dao Ming Si (in pain): “That… that place.”
Michelle: “What do you want to say?”
Dao Ming Si (left hand holding his head, while his right hand is still holding onto Michelle’s shoulder): “That place.”
Michelle: “Slowly.”
Dao Ming Si (yelling in pain): “Ah!”
Michelle: “Don’t panic. Take your time.”
Sha Ge walks in at this moment.
Sha Ge (taking in the scene): “Hey, what are you doing?”
Michelle: “Sha Ge, don’t do anything.”
Sha Ge (talking to Dao Ming Si): “I’m warning you. I’m very good at fighting. I know judo, karate, if you don’t let go now, I’ll use it against you.”
Michelle: “He wants to say something. Let him say what he wants.”
Sha Ge: “But..”
Michelle: “Don’t do anything. (speaking to Dao Ming Si) Take your time.”
Dao Ming Si: “My… balloon…”
Sha Ge runs out of the room.
Michelle: “Don’t panic. Slowly.”
Dao Ming Si: “I…”
Michelle: “Don’t panic. What place? Say it slowly.”
Sha Ge runs back into the room with two guys that work in the hospital. The two attendants grab onto Dao Ming Si, restraining him.
Dao Ming Si (being restrained by the attendants, shouted): “WHO AM I?”
Outside:
Michelle: “Sha Ge, I made a big mess, right?”
Sha Ge: “No, no.”
Michelle: “But the doctor said that there’s a blood clot that’s against the nerves in his brain so that’s why he has lost all his memories. Now what should I do?”
Sha Ge: “Hai. It’s no big deal. He’s not crazy and his arm and leg is not broken. He’s lucky, he only lost his memories. We can help him find his memory back.”
Michelle: “Right. Well then let’s first help him look for his relatives. But he didn’t have any ID on him, so where do we start?”
Sha Ge: “No problem. Leave it to me. I use to work for a detective investigator.”
Michelle looks like she doesn’t believe him.
Sha Ge: “Hey, Taiwan had a lot of cases that if it wasn’t for me, they would not have been able to solve.”
Michelle: “Really?”
Sha Ge: “Of course.”
Michelle (laughing): “That’s why I said knowing Sha Ge is very lucky. Then how should we begin?”
Sha Ge: “We’ll start… we’ll start from finding where this Asian came from.”
Michelle: “Ok.”
F3 has finally arrived in Spain. Mei Zuo and Jing are looking at a map and Mei Zuo is circling places with a marker. Xi Men is on the phone talking to someone. Lei is standing outside on the balcony.
Xi Men: “Taiwan. Right. Dao Ming Si. Height is 183 cm. Weight is 75 kg. Black hair, right. Send as many people as you have.”
Jing (looking at the map): “Around this mall, we’ve already looked around and also this street too.”
Mei Zuo: “Right, I’ve also searched this side and yesterday I’ve searched here.”
San Cai is sitting on the bed with Dao Ming Si’s suitcase. She opens it and looks at the things inside. She takes out his shirt, then his jacket, staring at it. She also finds his passport in there and while staring at his picture, she gently runs her thumb over it. Then she notices a picture frame inside the suitcase. The picture frame doesn’t have a picture inside but it has a cookie that San Cai made for Dao Ming Si’s birthday that was in the shape of his face. Apparently, he has framed it up to keep.
Xi Men (sitting down on the sofa): “Don’t have any information from customs that Ah Si has left Spain. I’m going to check Taiwan and see if the customs over there have information on his return.”
Mei Zuo’s cell phone rings.
Mei Zuo: “Hello. I’ve already contacted Spain and Taiwan. Do you have any information over there?”
Jing gets out of her seat and walks out to the balcony where Lei is standing.
Jing (speaking to Lei’s back): “I’ve been to that church.”
Lei (turning around to face her): “I’m going to take a look at San Cai.”
Lei walks away leaving Jing standing there. San Cai is still sitting on the bed staring at the picture frame when Lei walks up and sits down on the bed too.
San Cai (crying softly, turns the picture frame in her hands to show Lei): “Who goes traveling bringing these things. Very funny.”
Lei stares at her and hands her a tissue for her to wipe her tears but San Cai takes the tissue and wipes the picture instead. While San Cai sits on the bed continuing to cry, all Lei could do was stare at her. Suddenly, Mei Zuo comes in.
Mei Zuo (happy): “We’ve got news.”
Back at the hospital, Dao Ming Si slowly wakes up again. He looks around slowly and sees the ring lying on the floor. Mei Zuo and Xi Men are speaking with the police at the scene of the accident.
Police (speaking in Spanish): “A girl was driving a car and got into an accident with him. Now he should be at the Parc Tauli hospital.”
Mei Zuo (in Spanish): “Thank you.”
Mei Zuo and Xi Men gets back in the car and drives away, while Xi Men takes out a cell phone to call Lei.
Xi Men: “Lei, Barcelona’s police seems to be able to confirm that the guy in the car accident is an Asian guy only. The person is now at the Parc Tauli hospital. Let’s meet up there. Hurry up.”
Michelle is at the hospital again and finds out that Dao Ming Si has already left. She runs out of the room. At the same time, F3, Jing and San Cai is running in from the entrance of the hospital. While San Cai was running in, Michelle was running out and they pass each other. Jing is speaking to the nurse while F3 and San Cai wait on the side.
Nurse (in Spanish): “Never seen him.”
Jing: “Thank you. (turning back to F3 and San Cai) I don’t think that this person is Ah Si because someone came to pick him up already.”
San Cai not giving up, runs over to the nurse and takes out Dao Ming Si’s passport.
San Cai (showing the nurse the photo): “Please take a look. Was this the patient?”
Nurse (in Spanish): “No, I’ve never seen this person before.”
San Cai (turning over to F3 & Jing): “What did she say?”
Jing (translating): “She said
he’s not.”
San Cai (turning back to the nurse): “Are you positive? Please take a look.
Take a closer look and see if it’s him.”
San Cai starts getting really restless. Xi Men and Mei Zuo runs over to her to calm her down.
Mei Zuo (grabbing San Cai’s arm): “San Cai. Don’t be like this.”
San Cai (brushing his hand away): “I’m not doing anything. I just want her to take a closer look. (holding up the photo to the nurse again) Please take another look. His hair style is not the same now. (Xi Men: “San Cai.”) Look. Is it him?”
Xi Men and Mei Zuo: “San Cai!”
San Cai (yelling): “Look, it’s him! Right?”
Mei Zuo: “San Cai, please don’t be like this!”
Lei walks quickly over and stops her yelling.
Lei: “San Cai, it’s enough.
Ah Si wasn’t driving that car. She’s already confirmed that the person
is not Ah Si. If you continue badgering her like this, it’s just going
to become a joke. Can you not calm down a bit?”
San Cai (angry and yells back at Lei): “Right! I can’t calm down!
Because I’m not like you! Always say you’re such good friends…
but at a time like this all you care about is useless things!”
San Cai pushes Lei aside and runs out. Mei Zuo and Xi Men runs after her. Lei is standing there with Jing.
Jing: “She doesn’t mean what she said.”
Lei: “I know.”
Then he turns and walks away too. Dao Ming Si is walking around the city all by himself, not sure where to go and not knowing where to go. Michelle, on the other hand, is driving all around looking for him.
Back at the hotel room, F3, San Cai and Jing are sitting around the table eating lunch. But San Cai just sits there staring at her plate of food.
Jing: “San Cai, eat something.”
Mei Zuo (trying to lighten up the mood): “Dry cracker San Cai. You should eat more. Otherwise, when Ah Si comes back, you would definitely become a dried up cracker. He would definitely find us to settle this.”
Xi Men: “San Cai. Really. Eat a bit more. When you’re full, then you would have the strength to go look for Ah Si.”
San Cai hearing Xi Men’s words, gets out of her stupor and grabs the plate of spaghetti and started shoving it into her mouth.
Jing: “San Cai. Eat slowly.”
Lei just keep on staring at her without saying a word.
San Cai (still shoving spaghetti into her mouth and talking and crying at the same time): “It’s delicious. It’s really delicious. I need to eat more.”
Suddenly she covers her mouth and runs to the bathroom.
Mei Zuo (getting up out of his seat): “San Cai.”
Jing runs after San Cai to watch over her.
After a few seconds, San Cai comes running out of the bathroom, wiping her tears with her hands, with Jing running behind her.
San Cai (standing in front of F3, crying): “Sorry. I’m the one that’s wrong. I shouldn’t have yelled at Lei. I shouldn’t have come to Spain. I shouldn’t have like that ring. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry.”
San Cai drops to her knees on the floor sobbing really hard. Jing drops to her knees to comfort her and Xi Men & Mei Zuo walks over to comfort her also.
It’s night time and Dao Ming Si is still walking around the city. Michelle’s driving around and finally finds him. She starts following him all around.
Michelle: “Hey handsome. You’ve been walking for a whole day. Aren’t you tired? Even if you’re not tired, you should be hungry. Hey, I really don’t have any bad intentions. Why don’t you come back with me? I promise I won’t be violent to you and I won’t eat you. Hello? (no answer from Dao Ming Si, he just keeps on walking). Then I’m going to leave. You could come across a robbery. You could starve to death on the streets. (no answer) I’m really leaving.”
Dao Ming Si still doesn’t answer and Michelle has no choice but to continue following him. Finally they walk past a bakery shop. Dao Ming Si stops in front of the shop for a few seconds before continuing to walk. Michelle stops and goes in to buy some French bread. After buying the bread, Michelle walks up to Dao Ming Si, eating one and holding one. Dao Ming Si has finally stopped walking.
Michelle: “Hey, is your tummy hungry?”
No answer from Dao Ming Si. Michelle hands him the loaf of French bread. Dao Ming Si doesn’t take it.
Michelle (puts Dao Ming Si’s hands around the bread): “Take it. It’s very good. I’m eating also.”
Dao Ming Si, holding the bread in one hand then continues to walk and Michelle continues to follow.
Finally, she manages to convince him to go back with her. She brings him back to the winery and tells him to pick whichever room he likes to sleep in. Dao Ming Si stops in front of Michelle’s room, not knowing that it was hers. She lets him sleep in her room. So, he goes inside then closes the door in her face.
Summary of MG2 Episode 3:
Michelle & Sha Ge is working in the grape field.
Michelle (speaking to Sha Ge as he walks by): “Hey, Sha Ge, how is he?”
Sha Ge: “I feel that you should not be bothered with him. If he’s hungry, he’ll eat. If not, then let him starve to death.”
Michelle looks up to the window of the bedroom and sees Dao Ming Si standing there and waves at him. Dao Ming Si looks at her and turns away without waving back.
Sha Ge: “Ha. Did you see? What a dead face.”
Michelle leaves the field.
Sha Ge (calling after Michelle): “Hey! Oh, you people. (Sha Ge goes back to work.) Who cares about the two of you.”
Dao Ming Si locks himself in the bedroom and won't come out, all the while sitting on the bed and staring at himself in the mirror.
Michelle comes by and talks to him through the door.
Michelle (holding some flowers): “I know you are awake. I just want to bring you some fresh flowers. And also to ask if you want to have breakfast with me and Sha Ge. You have to eat something. Then how about if I bring breakfast over for you to eat? If you don’t answer then I’ll take that as a Yes. Ok, I’m going to get it now.”
Michelle walks away then comes back with a breakfast tray.
Michelle (holding the tray): “Breakfast is here. (no answer from Dao Ming Si) Then, I’ll leave it here. I’ll leave. I won’t watch you eat breakfast. I really won’t. I’m leaving it.”
She sets the breakfast in front of the door then turns to leave. When she comes back later, she finds that Dao Ming Si still haven't come out to get the food so she sat down in front of the door and started talking to him.
Michelle: “Who am I? I always ask myself that question. Even if I know who I am and then what? My name is Ya Sha. Came from a place far away. I sell paintings for a living. My good friend, Sha Ge, looks after me. But even if you know your name, your identity, your past and then what? I still don't know who I am. I still don't know about my life, why things come & go. So that's why I travel all over the world, make friends, see stuff. On one hand traveling, on the other hand searching. Slowly, I started finding out who I am. So who are you? Even if you don't know now, but… this could be a good chance to find out about yourself. To learn about the new you."
As Michelle was talking to Dao Ming Si, he finally wakes up from his stupor and looks around the room. He sees a painting left in the room by Michelle. The painting is the back of a girl who looks exactly like San Cai. He gets very shocked and backs up to the table, knocking it over. Michelle hearing the commotion inside the room, asks him what's wrong. Dao Ming Si started getting very violent and shouts at her to go away. She keeps asking him what's wrong and he got so angry that he slammed his fist right into the mirror. Michelle hears the breaking glass, told him if he doesn't hurt himself then she will go away. Michelle leaves and Dao Ming Si stands staring at himself in the broken mirror.
At the hotel room, San Cai's feeling very sad and sits on the floor next to the bed, locking herself away from Jing and F3. She keeps staring at the balloons that Dao Ming Si got for her. She remembers back to the scene when DMS hands her the balloon and said that he was handing her his happiness. San Cai stands on top of the bed and reaches out to hold onto one of the balloons.
San Cai (holding the balloon with tears in her eyes): “I’m holding it. Dao Ming Si, I’m holding it.”
Jing (through the door): “San Cai, open the door. Do you want me to come in, San Cai? San Cai.”
Mei Zuo (talking through the door):
“San Cai, what are you doing? Do you think if you act like this Ah Si will
show up? San Cai, open the door now! “
Xi Men: “Mei Zuo”
Mei Zuo (yelling): “San Cai, open the door!“
Xi Men (trying to calm Mei Zuo down): “Mei Zuo…” (Lei walks by)
“Lei”
Lei (with no expression on his face): “I'm going to sleep.”
Mei Zuo (looks at Lei angrily): “What? At a time like this and you're thinking
about going to sleep?!?!?!”
Xi Men (exasperated): “Mei Zuo, Are you trying to make us all go crazy?”
Mei Zuo (looking at Xi Men): “Is it my fault then?”
Xi Men: “I know you are worried about San Cai & Ah Si, but if you are
like this…”
Mei Zuo (angry): “So everything I do is wrong.”
Xi Men (trying to reason with him): “Not that it's wrong, just that…”
Mei Zuo (yelling): “So I said the wrong thing? I did the wrong thing? So
if I see San Cai like this, how she's treating herself, if I don’t want
to face it then I should go to sleep? (He's referring to Lei here. Mei Zuo seems
to be really upset.)
Xi Men: “Stop over reacting.”
Mei Zuo (yelling): “Am I?”
Jing: “Calm down the two of you.”
Lei (calmly): “Go out. If there's anything to say, let's say it outside.”
F3 walks out of the room. Outside:
Mei Zuo (still not calm yet): “Aren't we suppose to speak about it?”
Xi Men: “Mei Zuo, San Cai is
on the verge of breaking down. We are the only ones that can help her. So why
can't we calm ourselves down?”
Mei Zuo: “You think I don't want to? You tell me how to calm down. San
Cai is hurting. Ah Si is missing. There's nothing we can do to help. Tell me,
how can we calm down?”
Xi Men: “Mei Zuo.”
Lei (finally speaking): “From a kid to now, this is the first time we come
across a problem that we can't fix and it's the first time that we understand
that we, F4, is just a normal human beings. Ever since graduating from Ying
De, "F4" is just a name. If we can't face this kind of a problem,
then I think we should just disband here in Spain.”
Mei Zuo (in disbelief): “Disband what? So you want me to go find 3 Spanish
guy to be F4?”
Xi Men (trying to lighten the mood): “Then they won't be called F4 –
they'll have to be called S4 – Spanish 4.”
At that comment, everybody starts
laughing. The tension seems to have died away. Everybody's feelings are back
to normal now.
Lei: “So have we decided to disband or not?”
Xi Men: “I want to take you two members for a drink.”
Mei Zuo (agreeing): “Ok, let's go.”
Xi Men: “Which one?”
Lei (acting very serious): “Wait. So if we are not disbanding, there's
something I want to tell you guys.”
Xi Men: “What else is so important?”
Lei: “That is, from now on, you can't tell people that they can't go to
the sleep.”
Meanwhile back at the winery, Dao
Ming Si is still staring at the bloody broken mirror.
Later, Michelle comes into the room and finds Dao Ming Si gone, only finds the
bloody cracked mirror and sees the painting with the bloody handprint on it.
F3 goes back to the hotel after drinking to find the news that San Cai is missing
from Jing. They all rushed back outside to look for her.
After looking around, Lei finally finds San Cai walking all by herself. He runs up to her and grabs her by the hand and pulls her along.
San Cai: “Where are you taking me? Lei. Let me go. Where are you taking me? Let me go. LET ME GO!”
Finally he stops and San Cai pushes
him away and turns around to leave, but Lei stops her with his words.
Lei (speaking to San Cai’s back as she was walking away): “Don't you
want to find Ah Si?”
San Cai (turning around, hope filling in her voice): “Dao Ming Si is here?”
Lei: “I don't know. (San Cai turns away to leave, but Lei's next words
stop her again.) I just know he's lost. You're thinking about Ah Si – Ah
Si is thinking about you. You want to see Ah Si – I'm sure, Ah Si wants
to see you. So it's not because you can't Ah Si, it's
because Ah Si can't find you. San Cai, Ah Si is lost. Can't find his way back
home.”
Lei walks over to San Cai, who is
standing with her back to him, turns her around and brings her over to look
out at the scenery of Spain.
Lei: “The place where he is now probably don't have sun or moon and no
stars or light. It only has the sound of your voice that will show him the direction.
So San Cai, yell. (Lei pointing to somewhere in front of them.) Do you see Ah
Si over there? If you call out to him, make his head turn around, he will see
you.”
San Cai (yelling & crying at the same time): “Dao Ming Si! Dao Ming
Si, where are you? Dao Ming Si, do you hear me? I am San Cai. Where are you?
Dao Ming Si, I miss you. I really, really miss you. Dao Ming Si, please come
back. Dao Ming Si! Dao Ming Si! Dao Ming Si!”
Michelle finally finds Dao Ming Si standing on the rooftop staring at the stars that night. Just as Dao Ming Si was about to leave or jump, she points to the sky and starts talking about her star.
Michelle: “Hey my star has come out. I’m not lying to you. It really is my star. I named it Brave Ya Sha. Do you know why he is my star? One year, I joined a summer camp. I was playing around, left the group and got lost. I was all by myself on the mountains, not knowing what to do. The sky was getting darker and darker. And I became more and more scared. Then he came out. Very, very bright. It seems to be saying to me, ‘Ya Sha, there’s nothing to be afraid of. You can do it.’ In the end, I really did find my way back to the camp. So that’s why I called it ‘Brave Ya Sha.’ (starts waving) Hi ‘Brave Ya Sha’! (Dao Ming Si turns over to look at Michelle.) You are very lucky. My ‘Brave Ya Sha’ is not something you can see often. He’s very bad, often hiding. When I’m feeling down, I would go to a place with a spacious view of the sky, and wait for it to show up. Even if it doesn’t come out tonight, tomorrow night it definitely will. Or maybe the next night or the next, next night. I would continuously wait. Later I found out that waiting, is also a kind of beauty. Waiting for the star, waiting for the inspirations, waiting for the grape to ripen, waiting for the good wine to be finished. When the time comes when you are physically and mentally strong, then waiting would become a kind of discovery. It makes me discover all over again all the things that passed by me that I have missed. I didn’t know that I’ve missed out on so many beautiful things in life. I believe that you must have missed out on something too. For example, delicious food. (takes a deep breath and smiling) I wonder what delicious things have Sha Ge cooked up for tonight. I know you are not interested but I would definitely not miss out on it. I’ll leave you alone now. You just keeping on standing there and continue to miss out on everything. Bye Bye.”
Michelle walks away, leaving Dao Ming Si still standing there staring at the sky. She goes back to the house and is standing in the doorway waiting for Dao Ming Si to show up and Sha Ge is setting up dinner.
Sha Ge (whistling): “Let’s not wait for him. Let’s eat first.”
Michelle (running over to the table): “Let’s wait for a minute more, Sha Ge. He should be coming soon.”
Sha Ge: “Aiyo, we’ve waited for so long already.”
Michelle: “Be patient.”
Sha Ge (sees Dao Ming Si coming in): “Hey, he’s back.”
Michelle (looking over at Dao Ming Si): “You’re back. Now we can start eating.”
Dao Ming Si stands near the doorway and doesn’t go in.
Michelle (waving her hand at him): “Come on. Let’s eat together.”
Sha Ge (picking up a fork and plate, making the eating motion): “Eat dinner. Come.”
Dao Ming Si finally walks in and they all sit at the table. Dao Ming Si doesn't eat but just
stares at his plate.
Sha Ge (leaning over to whisper to Michelle): “Ya Sha. How long is he going to stare at his food?
Michelle (whisper back): “He seems to be thinking about something.”
Sha Ge (giving a small laugh): “Thinking about stuff? (laughing harder) If he can think of something, then I’ll… (Dao Ming Si slowly lifts his head to look at Sha Ge.) Eh, this food is all very good. Don’t be shy. Try it.”
Michelle: “Sha Ge.”
Sha Ge: “Right. Right. You haven’t tried it yet. Come. (He puts some food onto Dao Ming Si’s plate. Dao Ming Si backs up from him a little.) Eat a little. (Dao Ming Si keeps staring at him) Hey, could you stop staring at me? Give it a try. I use to work at a restaurant before. Also these couple of dishes, is something that I’ve learned over these couple of years in Spain. They are the specialty here. It tastes very good.”
Michelle (picks up her plate and Sha Ge's plate): “Get up.”
Sha Ge: “Huh? Where are we going?”
Michelle: “If we sit here, how can he eat. Come.”
Sha Ge: “But this is my home.”
Michelle: “Come on.”
Michelle and Sha Ge move over to sit on the sofa. Dao Ming Si slowly picks up the fork after Michelle and Sha Ge steps away. Over by the sofa, Sha Ge is still standing up staring at Dao Ming Si.
Michelle (pulling him down on the sofa): “Stop staring at him.”
Sha Ge: “Wait a minute.”
Michelle (whispering): “Stop staring.”
Sha Ge: “Oh, I understand. I understand.”
Michelle: “Hey, I didn’t know you use to be a chef.”
Sha Ge: “I’m not.”
Michelle: “But didn’t you just say you worked in a restaurant before?”
Sha Ge: “I ruined the restaurant. Did you know when there are a lot of customers, things get really busy and I’ve broken lots of glasses? Now, if there was no customers, I would fool around with the customers, and drink some wines, and then when it becomes busy again, I’d break a couple more glasses. So you say, when it was like this, if I didn’t ruin the restaurant then it would be a surprise.”
Michelle and Sha Ge both starts laughing really hard. Dao Ming Si hearing everything gets up all of a sudden and runs back to his room. Both Michelle and Sha Ge stands up and stares after him.
Sha Ge (sighs): “So he doesn’t like the food that I made, that’s ok. But he doesn’t even like my jokes?”
Michelle: “I’m going to go look at him.”
Michelle shows up with a first aid kit and knocks on his door. He gets up from bed and tries to close the door on her but she stops him.
Michelle (her hand on the door to stop it from closing): “I know you don’t like me bothering you but at least let me help you put some medicine on your hand, ok?”
Dao Ming Si tries to shut the door again.
Michelle (speaking loudly): “Listen to me!”
While bandaging his hand, she talks to him again.
Michelle (putting medicine on his hand): “Hurting yourself and hiding yourself, this stupid way, would not help you get your memories back. You can use a scientific way. For example, you can speak Chinese. Places that can speak Chinese is not only in China. Sha Ge is from Taiwan. He also speaks Chinese. Also, Singapore, Malaysia. You can try to think harder if you recognize these places. China. Taiwan. Singapore. Malaysia. (Dao Ming Si tries to think but his head is hurting him.) Don’t rush it. Take it slowly. I know. You haven’t eaten any food, not enough vitamins, so that’s why you can’t think of it. I'll help you bring your dinner over here. Eat some food and it will help you think. I’ll go get it.”
As she gets up from finishing Dao Ming Si’s hand, she starts to walk out, then stops, her face seems to be in pain.
Michelle (takes a deep breath, turns her head to speak to Dao Ming Si): “I’ll be right back.” She walks out the door and falls outside his room in pain.
Dao Ming Si (walks over to the doorway and speaks for the first time): “What’s wrong with you?”
Michelle (turning her pained fill face at him, trying to smile): “Must be the tiredness from this morning. My leg really hurts.”
She tries to get up and falls back down in pain. Dao Ming Si sees her like that and runs out to help her.
Dao Ming Si (looking around nervously then yells out): “Sha Ge!”
Michelle is in the bed and Sha Ge is helping her drink some water while Dao Ming Si is sitting aside.
Sha Ge: “Ok, lie back and rest a little. Are you feeling better?”
Michelle (speaking weakly): “Very weird. Once you showed up, it doesn’t hurt anymore.”
Sha Ge (laughs a little then looks at Dao Ming Si): “There’s an old Chinese saying ‘When a dog is nervous/worried, he will jump over a wall.’ Today I find out that people who can’t talk when nervous/worried, would also open their mouth to speak. (He’s referring to the fact that Dao Ming Si yelled out his name. Both he and Michelle laugh a little.) Do you still want to drink more?”
Michelle: “Ok.”
Dao Ming Si looks at them and then looks down at the hand that Michelle had bandaged and he seems to be thinking about something.
Next morning, Sha Ge, Michelle & Dao Ming Si tour the winery where they work. Sha Ge wants to open a bottle of wine to celebrate. To celebrate Dao Ming Si calling his name for the first time. The three of them sit around a table outside. Sha Ge tells Dao Ming Si to try the wine. Dao Ming Si grabs a hold of the spine of the wine glass, swirls the wine around, picks up the glass, stares at the color, smells it, then tastes it. After tasting the wine, he says that the color, the smell, the taste, everything has a good balance. In order words, a good glass of wine. He's acting like someone who knows how to test/taste wine. Sha Ge is shocked that Dao Ming Si knows so much about wine.
Sha Ge (shocked): “You know
how to taste wine?”
Dao Ming Si (acting like it was no big deal): “Is it very hard?”
Sha Ge: “I spend 800 years learning how to taste wine, another 800 years
learning about the grapes, and another 1800 years learning to make wine…”
Dao Ming Si: “Are you a monster?”
Sha Ge: “Hey!”
Dao Ming Si (annoyed): “Don't call me Hey.”
Sha Ge: “Aye?”
Michelle: “Why don't we give you a name?”
Sha Ge: “How do you like people to call you? Don't even think I will call
you handsome.”
Dao Ming Si (gets up from the table): “I don't need you guys to give me
a name. I use to have a name.”
After that Dao Ming Si walks away
from the table. Michelle & Sha Ge is sitting at the table debating on whose
fault it is that made Dao Ming Si have a bad mood again. At night, Dao Ming
Si is once again staring up at the stars in the sky. Michelle walks up to him,
hands him a painting (the painting is of Dao Ming Si's back standing there staring
at stars, with some sort of poem written on it.) Dao Ming Si looks at it.
Michelle walks away saying "Good Night, Ah Sing." She's calling him
Ah Sing because he loves looking at stars so much. Dao Ming Si, still staring
up in the sky, answers back softly, "Good Night."
In the morning, Lei is standing by
himself staring out at something. Jing comes up to him and hugs him from behind.
Lei: “San Cai, is she…”
Jing (with her head resting on Lei's back): “Shhh, don't talk. Lei, I miss
you. I want to leave France. What do you think?”
Lei: “You know that other people's business, I don't care about.”
Jing (standing up straight, looking a little shocked): “You have someone
you like. Is that it? Is it someone I know? Is it San Cai?”
Lei (turning around to face Jing, he puts his hand up to her face, sort of caressing
her and as Jing leans against it, he takes it away): “In my heart, you
use to have a very important place, but now, we can only just be friends. And
in the future too.”
Jing stares at Lei silently with a tear coming down her face, knowing that she
has lost him. Then Lei walks away leaving Jing standing there staring at his
back.
Back at the hotel room, Mei Zuo is
sitting on the sofa and Xi Men is talking on the phone.
Xi Men: “Still no news? Well then, if there is any news, please contact
us at once. Ok, thanks, bye.”
Mei Zuo: “The only conclusion is that it has to be Ah Si's mother.”
Xi Men (sitting down on the sofa): “Well, then let me call NY.”
At this time, Lei walks into the
room.
Lei (hearing Xi Men’s words): “If Ah Si, is really at his mom's, even
if we call there's nothing we can do. From Ah Si's mom's personality, she will
definitely not say anything.”
Xi Men notices San Cai standing at the door way.
Xi Men: “San Cai.”
San Cai: “Let me call.”
Dao Ming Feng receives San Cai's
call.
Dao Ming Feng (sounding very annoyed): “Who are you to be calling me?”
San Cai: “It's you, right?”
Dao Ming Feng (sounding angry): “What are you talking about?”
San Cai: “Where have you hidden Dao Ming Si? Please tell me. How can he
disappear all of a sudden like that?”
Dao Ming Feng (looking a little surprised): “Ah Si is missing? The feet
is grown on him, I can't control it. Miss San Cai, I told you from the beginning,
Ah Si has a very curious nature. When he's grown tired of something, he would
not look back at it twice. I think the
reason Ah Si is missing is because he doesn't want you to find him.”
San Cai: “That's not possible!”
Dao Ming Feng: “Why is it not possible? You've made him suffer enough.
For you, he has lost his happiness, lost the trust I have in him. What right
do you have in him? Made him take over all the stress himself, all his unhappiness
now is all because of your selfishness. If there's nothing else, I'm going to
hang up.”
San Cai: “Wait! Ok, I will listen to you. If you tell me that Dao Ming
Si is taken away by you, he is safe now, I promise from now on, I will not show
up in front of his face.”
Dao Ming Feng: “I'm sorry, Miss San Cai, but I don't have any faith in
your promises anymore.”
San Cai: “Please. I beg you. I promise. I will accept whatever you say.
Just tell me that he is safe."
Dao Ming Feng (you can actually see the wheels turning in her head): “Ok,
since you are so sincere in your request. I'll tell you. You're right. Ah Si
is safely living in NY now.
He's very good. Please remember what you have said. Don't ever show up in front
of Ah Si again.”
Dao Ming Feng hangs up then dials another number and says, "Get in touch with Barcelona (the city of where F4 & San Cai is) now." Apparently, Dao Ming Feng doesn't know anything about what happened, but she's willing to use this as a chance to separate Dao Ming Si & San Cai once again.
Back at the hotel, San Cai &
F3 sit staring at each other after the phone call.
San Cai (looking really defeated): “It's really her. Well, at least we
know Dao Ming Si is
safe.
Mei Zuo (standing up suddenly): “We are going to NY to find Ah Si.”
Lei: “Go back to Taiwan. I believe Ah Si will find a way to go back to
Taiwan to meet us.”
Dao Ming Si is working at the winery
with Sha Ge. We find out that Michelle likes to draw paintings of people's back,
the reason being that people can't see their own back. Michelle also finds the
lucky charm that San Cai's mom gave to him when they left for Spain. Sha
Ge recognizes that the name on the lucky charm is from a famous temple in Taiwan.
From this clue, they think that Dao Ming Si is from Taiwan. That night Dao Ming
Si & Michelle goes out to see fireworks. They also set some fireworks themselves.
Next day, Dao Ming Si & Michelle goes to the Taiwan Embassy in Barcelona to find out about his past. The person at the embassy shows the details that Dao Ming Si & Michelle left behind to a guy wearing a suit (he works for Dao Ming Feng.)
