"Lost To You"

(Episode 1)

Some homecomings are escapes.

Some encounters are a return to harbor.

You got the guts to run from me?

Where's the money?

This month's allowance.

It's... it's all...

I gave it all to you.

Please, don't come any closer.

Ooh, so scary.

Stay back. Stay back.

Stay back.

And what'll happen if you do?

Look, another one with a death wish.

We'll see who's dying today.

Get him!

Can you walk?

Thank you.

You're bleeding.

I'm used to it.

Drop dead!

Hey.

I didn't throw it!

Hey.

Are you trying to frame me?

Are you okay?

Let's go.

Wake up. Hey, wake up.

Hey.

Hey.

Wake up. Hey.

Zhan Wang.

Age 17.

A brain tumor, right here.

Have you been having frequent headaches lately?

Dizziness?

Sudden weakness?

Who wouldn't get a headache listening to that old man drone on all day?

Smoking is not allowed in the hospital.

Your headaches are caused by the tumor.

Although we've caught it early...

it's highly malignant.

If you actively undergo treatment...

the median survival time is about...

How long?

Two years.

And if I refuse treatment?

You shouldn't be thinking about that right now.

If you refuse treatment...

it will progress very quickly.

Paralysis...

dizziness, blindness.

In that case...

you won't last a year.

One year.

That's a pretty long time.

Dr. Zhang.

The patient in bed 4, his brain tumor is worsening. He needs surgery immediately.

Okay, I'm on my way.

Your condition requires immediate hospitalization.

You need to notify your family right away.

[Calling: "Old Thing"]

Young Master, it's Uncle Deng.

Mr. Zhan is in a meeting.

He can't take your call.

If you need anything, you can tell me.

Uncle Deng.

Book me a ticket...

a plane ticket back to Hong Town.

Wang-wang.

You have too many fights on your record.

You'll have to go back to Hongzhen and attend school there for a while.

Thanks for your concern, Uncle Deng.

My dad...

he didn't ask anything?

He's been busy with a company merger recently.

He's been too busy.

So...

There's one more thing.

Your grandmother's house...

What about my grandmother's house?

Before the old lady passed away...

she gave the house to another family.

Mr. Zhan has an empty villa by the sea.

How about...

you stay there for now?

Send me the address.

According to astronomers' estimates...

a comet is expected to draw close to earth in three months...

We're here, young man.

Be good.

Go home with your father.

Grandma!

I don't want to go!

I'm not going!

This is my home!

Wang-wang, be strong.

Grandma will always be here waiting for you.

Go.

Let's go.

Grandma!

Grandma!

Grandma!

Grandma!

Grandma!

Just like the old man's style.

"Study hard. Don't get into fights."

(Shude Highschool)

Wang-wang!

Wang-wang, slow down!

Grandma's getting old.

I can't keep up.

Grandma.

Aren't you a Sea Woman?

Even Sea Women get old.

When Grandma gets even older...

she'll become a wave in the great sea.

From then on...

when you look at the sea...

that'll be Grandma looking at you.

If you ever get lost...

look.

Look at that lighthouse.

If you see it, you can always find your way home.

Grandma.

I want to be with you forever.

Grandma.

Can I still find my way home?

[A very depressing letter written to "dad" about how this twink's life is just so sad]

Grandma... Grandma...

Hurry, hurry!

Faster!

Okay!

Wang-wang, slow down!

Hurry up!

Slow down, slow down.

Our Xiao Wang is already this tall at ten.

Look.

Grandma.

One day, I'll grow as tall as that old tree.

I'll carry you on my back to see faraway places.

Okay.

Grandma will be right here waiting for you.

This will always be your home.

Who are you looking for?

What are you doing in my house?

I should be asking you that.

What are you doing in my grandmother's house?

You're...

Zhan Wang.

Brother, you're back.

Just wait for me a little longer.

I'm almost done with my homework.

So you recognize me.

Nervous to see me?

Afraid I'm here to take the house back?

How shameless.

A whole family, perfectly able-bodied, but you won't go out and earn a living.

You even swindle an old woman out of her house?

We have never swindled anyone.

The deed to the house is inside.

The transfer was notarized by the public notary office.

When Granny Chang signed it...

a lawyer was present as a witness.

If you need to see it...

I can get it for you now.

Fine.

You really came prepared.

People from a small town like you...

must be experienced at tricking old people out of their homes, right?

No wonder.

A family of four, all squeezed in.

You must have really needed this house.

First.

There are three people in my family.

Second.

We have never tricked anyone.

And third.

Granny Chang waited for you for five years.

Every Lunar New Year's Eve...

she would set an extra place for you at the table.

In her last six months...

she became confused.

She would sit by the door every day and say...

'Wang-wang should be coming home today.'

And you?

Where were you?

I...

You came back too late.

This is my home now.

Please leave.

You make a good point.

Don't you yell at my brother!

You tried to take advantage of her when she was confused...

to...

I didn't do it on purpose.

He's faking it, right?

Are you okay?

Brother.

Don't tell me your jinx powers are acting up again.

Get away from me.

Don't touch me.

What's your problem?

I know my brother brought you bad luck,

but that's no reason to be so aggressive.

You're...

Granny Chang's grandson.

I think I've seen you in a photo album.

Fine.

Very good.

Your family...

This isn't over between us.

Bro.

You know,

your "condition" is actually pretty useful sometimes.

It can scare off bad guys.

I... I didn't mean it like that.

I know.

You should read less of that weird stuff.

A jinx...?

I don't believe that nonsense.

I'm not that fragile.

It's all because of this stupid tumor.

What a phony con artist.

A jinx, huh?

I'm not afraid of a little more bad luck.

(Shude High[school])

Today, we have a new student in our class.

He's from Jingzhou, you know.

From Jingzhou?

From now on, you'll all be classmates.

So you all need to get along.

Don't embarrass our school.

Come on.

Zhan Wang, come on in.

Zhan Wang.

Find a seat for yourself.

Sit here! Here! Here!

Here!

He's so handsome.

Over here!

Why is he going to the back?

Don't go any further back.

Why?

Because that's the Jinx.

What are you doing?

We meet again.

You're better off listening to them.

Don't sit here.

Feeling guilty?

Avoiding me?

It's over.

Do you think they knew each other before?

Oh, right.

I forgot to mention yesterday.

The house.

I'm getting it back.

I've already had my lawyer look into

the loopholes in the transfer documents.

Suit yourself.

Aren't you afraid?

You can afford a lawyer,

but I can't.

Besides, my family's paperwork is all legal.

Investigate all you want.

And...

please take your hand off of me.

Or else...

Or else...?

See? Bad luck.

I told you so.

I told you to stay away from him.

Sitting next to him is asking for trouble.

Quiet down, everyone. Quiet.

Get ready for class.

Zhan Wang.

Zhan Wang! Zhan Wang! Zhan Wang!

Zhan Wang.

Zhan Wang.

Are you okay?

Are you hurt anywhere?

What's wrong?

I'm perfectly fine.

Incredible.

You sat with the Jinx all morning,

and you're still alive.

The Jinx?

You guys are talking about him?

Why is he a jinx?

Tell me about it.

Xu Yuan...

He doesn't just jinx his family.

Even his friends around him...

suffer terrible luck.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's not just bad luck.

It's life-threatening.

Old Wu from next door went out to sea with him,

and almost didn't make it back.

I heard about that.

Xu Yuan was only twelve back then.

He went out to sea with a neighbor.

The engine failed for no reason.

Everyone on the boat nearly died.

You guys are exaggerating.

How can you blame something like that...

on a twelve-year-old kid?

It's not an exaggeration at all.

I saw it with my own eyes.

Xu Yuan and I were in the same class in middle school.

One night during study hall,

he tapped the shoulder of the person in front of him.

And guess what happened?

What?

The ceiling fan fell right down.

It landed exactly where that person was sitting.

Also, also...

The same thing happened to his deskmate.

I also know about...

the incident on the bus.

What incident?

That night, the bus was running normally.

Then suddenly,

out of nowhere,

the bus just stopped.

All the passengers...

were thrown from their seats.

That's terrifying.

And you know what the craziest part is?

Xu Yuan was sitting right next to the driver.

So this Xu Yuan...

isn't just a jinx.

He's like the Grim Reaper.

Pretty much.

Yeah, yeah, the Grim Reaper.

So, you see,

not a single student in our class...

dares to sit near him.

For three years,

you're the first one.

So...

he doesn't even have any friends?

He did.

Who?

That upperclassman, Xiang Bei.

The one who broke his leg?

- I don't know him. - Right, right.

Xiang Bei, he's that student athlete.

Let me tell you,

he used to be really close with Xu Yuan.

He wouldn't listen to anyone who warned him.

- And then? - And as it turned out...

Everything they said is true.

You should change seats.

I'm not afraid.

After all,

who could possibly have worse luck than me?

If you refuse treatment,

your condition will deteriorate rapidly.

Blindness, paralysis...

At this rate,

you won't last a year.

Today,

I, Zhan Wang, want to see for myself...

by being Xu Yuan's friend,

just how unlucky a person can become.

Having fun?

Heaps.

What do you want from me?

I just want to see

what the Jinx who scammed my grandma out of her house is really like.

Do what you want.

Jinx.

Hurry, let's go. Let's go.

Here, here, here.

We ran into him again.

Do they always treat you like this?

I'm a jinx.

This is normal.

Doesn't it make you angry?

What's the point of getting angry?

So you don't want to do anything about it?

Like what?

Go door to door explaining

that I'm not a jinx?

Or get on my knees and beg them not to be afraid of me?

I can beat them up for you.

And then what?

Make them even more scared of me?

Have the whole town say,

"Look,

the Jinx brought a thug with him"?

Stay out of my business.

Worry about your own family.

You left your sick grandmother here for so many years

and never even came back to visit.

I try to help, and this is the thanks I get?

And you have the nerve to lecture me while you're living in my house?

["Tear down"]

A-Mei.

Your noodle-making skills are getting better and better.

Who are you making this special for?

You old rascal.

I learned from your wife several times.

Really?

You couldn't tell?

Seriously.

You're always joking around.

Xiao Yuan is back.

Mom.

Did you write the sign outside?

It's not bad.

Xiao... Xiao Yuan brought a friend to the shop.

Come, come.

Come sit, come sit.

What would you like to eat?

Mom.

My treat.

He's not...

Come on.

Have a seat, have a seat.

Sit here, sit here.

Sit down.

What would you like to eat?

Our broth is really fresh.

Fish balls, seafood noodles.

What would you like?

I'll go make you some seafood noodles.

With extra seafood.

It's the first time Xiao Yuan has brought a friend over.

Mom.

He's Granny Chang's grandson.

Zhan Wang.

Wang-wang, right?

I'll go make you some fish balls.

No, thanks.

Let's go, let's go.

Thanks.

Your family is okay with them treating you like this?

They're used to it.

Time to eat. Stop playing.

Wang-wang.

Come, look.

Grandma bought you your favorite fish balls.

Come and try some.

Wang-wang, try it.

Is it good?

It's good.

Finish up and go home.

My mom's about to close up.

That Wang-wang is pretty tall.

He's just like how Granny Chang said.

You two are about the same age.

If you two could be friends...

wouldn't that be nice?

Leaving his grandma all alone in town,

not even caring when she was sick.

How can you call him a good kid?

But Granny Chang said...

his family had their reasons.

Having reasons is no excuse to abandon your own grandmother.

He didn't even see her one last time before she passed.

And the second he's back, he's demanding the house.

Xiao Yuan.

Mom.

I'm heading home now.

I have to work at the docks tonight.

Be careful at work.

That boy...

Bro.

Who are you daydreaming about?

That grumpy Zhan Wang?

Go to your room and do your homework.

Mom told me everything.

He's Granny Chang's grandson.

He used to live here.

Now you're living in his old room,

sleeping in his old bed.

So, does that make you two...

No.

He even announced today...

that he wants to be your friend.

Although his method...

was a bit strange.

How do you know that?

It's all over school.

What can I say? You're a legend in Hong Town.

I just wanted to see what kind of person the jinx who scammed my grandma out of her house is.

He's just trying to give me a hard time.

I don't think so.

If this were a novel,

you two would be fated rivals.

Or soulmates.

You should read less of that garbage.

Bro.

Life is short.

When you meet someone special,

you have to seize the moment.

Do you still want me to pay for your acting classes?

Yes!

Bro.

Then shut it.

Yes, sir.

Uncle Wang.

You're here again?

I already told you.

This work is dangerous.

We don't hire students.

Uncle Wang.

I really need the money.

My sister's training class is starting soon,

and I'm still short three thousand.

But with your build...

All right.

There's a shipment to unload tonight.

Midnight to 4 a.m.

Pay is two hundred. You in?

I'm in.

But let me be clear.

The cargo...

If you break it, you pay for it.

If you get hurt, you're on your own.

Letting you do this job...

is already a huge risk for me.

I understand.

Fine. Go get changed.

Thanks, Uncle.

Look.

That kid's here again.

He's had a tough life, too.

Isn't his dad the one who...

Get to work, get to work, get to work.

How can he be that desperate for money?

Xiao Wang.

I found it.

The Xu family is in serious financial trouble.

The noodle shop makes less than three thousand a month.

Xu Yuan's father is deceased.

His mother has a chronic illness.

The medical bills must be high.

Keep digging.

Grandma.

If you knew...

they were tricking you for money,

would you still have given them the house?

Why did it go to him?

Wasn't that house supposed to be mine?

(Wang-wang: No matter how far you go, Grandma will be here waiting for you to come home.)
