[Breath of Destiny]

[Episode 38]

Testify against me for what?

Oh, I have evidence.

What evidence?

The evidence that you colluded with Dr Jones.

I don't understand what you're talking about.

Kelly, I think

you just had a slip of the tongue.

What?

I said, I think right now

you just had a slip of the tongue.

Just now, you said that you were

ashamed of what Xu and I have been doing.

You're heartbroken

that we're doing such a terrible thing.

I never told you exactly

what it was that Dr Jones was doing.

And the police never reported it.

So how is it that you could now?

I think there's only one answer.

You were there from the beginning.

You were in on the collusion.

Weren't you, Kelly?

Admit it.

Babe.

Honey.

I know you're really tired.

And I know you've been under a lot of stress.

Yu Qian has been telling me that

you've become suspicious and unkind.

I didn't believe her. But now I do.

You can't assume

anything from just one word I said.

Kelly.

I know everything you've done.

And you're not grateful for anything I have done for you.

And now you want to pin the blame on me?

Daniel told me everything.

I'm sorry.

Kelly, I can't cover for you anymore.

You're going to have to pay for this yourself.

I'm sorry, Kelly.

This is all bullshit!

You are disgusting!

Ms Liang.

Just calm down!

Well, I guess you made your own bed, Kelly.

Did you forget we have surveillance camera in this room?

My husband is really tired.

He needs rest.

Take care.

Ms Liang, you can't leave.

You can't leave.

All right.

You're good.

Do you remember all the rules?

-Yes. -Let me remind you again.

You must protect yourself

to prevent cross infection.

-Got it. -Got it.

All right.

Write your names.

Here, I'll draw you a tiny heart

You must protect yourself.

-Okay. -Okay.

Take good care of yourself.

Don't fall behind.

-Okay. -Okay.

All right, go ahead.

How are things going?

Everything is normal.

Keep observing.

-We can't slack off. -Yes.

Let's go check on Xiao Liu.

More cases have been confirmed.

This won't do.

I have to ask the Health Department for more aid.

The department has taken your suggestion.

The villagers from the three villages in East and West District

are to stay at home. They're not allowed to go out.

The state government will provide relief for their daily life.

Locking the villages down and isolation

buy us some time to get rid of the virus.

As for the rest,

it's up to us.

But if we don't get rid of the epidemic within two months,

the economy of Zal Island

will be hit hard.

By then,

all the islanders

will blame you for it.

Leader Huo.

Lockdown is a good idea.

But it's like carrying a bag of explosives

on your own back.

The surgical kits at your delivery room aren't well prepared.

They're all not up to par.

Sis Hong.

But we're now short-handed.

I'm aware of that.

But it's not the reason to lower the standard.

-Quick, redo them. -Yes.

Hello, hubby.

I know.

I didn't mean to ignore your calls.

I've been very busy these days.

I'm doing quite good.

Is everything okay at home?

Okay, I'm hanging out, then.

No, international calls are too expensive.

All right.

Hello.

Friendship Hospital.

May I help you, sir?

Oh, yes. I'm listening.

Mr Qiao has confessed.

There's an air raid shelter behind the research institute building.

The villagers are locked inside.

Let's go now.

There might be infected people inside.

-We're going to be careful. -Yes, sir.

Kelly keeps the virus in Mr Qiao's home.

Upstairs, in a small fridge.

Let's call the Health Department for help right away.

Yes, sir!

Yes, sir.

Wake up.

Wake up.

What's your name?

What's your name?

P.

-Go get the medical help. -Yes.

Are you okay?

P.

She's pretty infectious.

Take her away.

Hurry up.

Hurry up.

Be careful.

I asked them to let us talk for a bit

before your lawyer comes.

It's not right to do so.

Also, what's there to talk about?

In my memory,

you had a long braid.

I remember you were as rude back then.

But you were reasonable still.

Don't bring up the past.

At that time,

I was a new immigrant that was being looked down upon.

I don't want to talk about the past.

Besides,

anyone has the right to talk about it with me, but not you.

Don't forget who left without saying goodbye.

Okay.

Let's talk about the present, then.

You already have Xiang Wan

and your own research institute.

Why did you take the risk

and build an illegal virus database on the island?

Were you not aware of how dangerous that was?

Dr Jones brought the virus here.

He had his eyes on this island,

our research institute,

as well as those villagers that aren't quite civilized.

It's Dr Jones

who brought the polio

and avian flu virus here,

not me.

Welcome to our plantation.

Thank you.

This is

a really good coffee that I brought from Africa.

It tastes good.

It really tastes good.

You shouldn't have kept it from us!

Kelly.

The virus is the only valuable thing we have here.

It can make us become like a god.

This research center,

with your work and that of Thomas,

has no future.

Making vaccine

is what can really be profitable for us.

And Zal Island is a paradise for vaccine research.

Thomas and I were very excited.

It's many people's dream

to develop a vaccine.

Xiang Wan and I were very happy that Dr Jones could join us.

So we agreed to cover it up for him.

And we even formed a research alliance with him.

Thomas was in it, too?

Of course.

He knew everything about the research institute.

Besides, we allocated work among ourselves.

I was in charge of the research.

And he would deal with everything outside the institute.

It's just that

we didn't see the virus leak coming.

Tell me what happened!

[Your lab are in such the harsh conditions.]

[I will not take the blame for this leak.]

[I wasn't expecting]

[so many children were called here by Auntie Pan.]

[Plus, it is the polio virus that got out.]

[The local natives were never injected vaccines.]

[So a couple of deaths were expected.]

[But the children from Linshui Village had the vaccines.]

[How can they get infected?]

[So the vaccines they got must definitely be ineffective.]

[You guys can go look for a scapegoat.]

[And my vaccine research]

[is making progress.]

[Hello?]

[Kelly, are you listening?]

What happened?

Some children died.

Don't worry about it.

I'll handle it.

Thomas thought

he couldn't handle it all by himself.

So you went to Xu?

That's right.

Xu

seized the opportunity to show us what he's worth.

He wanted to become

my and Thomas's most reliable right-hand man

So

he came up with the idea

of making use of Roy's ghost story.

So others would stop looking into it.

Did Xu change

the nutmeg incense at the witch's house?

That's right.

I knew it.

Xiao Liu has a friend named P.

P came to the research institute for fun all the time.

She told Dr Jones' assistant

that she wanted to make money.

So it took Dr Jones not much effort

to talk her into

having the human testing of avian flu type J vaccine.

P then brought a few village friends

to the research institute

And they were given free food and money.

But the testing didn't work on P.

She contracted it.

Avian flu type J.

But she secretly ran back to the village

to find Xiao Liu.

So Xiao Xu

went after her and Tu.

He's afraid they'd go around

infecting other people.

That's why he locked them inside the air-raid shelter.

And

that dead chicken.

We went to Linshui Village together

and found a dead chicken there.

Was it

Xu's doing?

Yes.

We were developing the avian flu vaccine

for chicken domestication.

There was an outbreak at the chicken coop in the institute.

And it spread to the village.

So all the while, Xu and several assistants

were secretly picking up dead chickens in the village.

Does Thomas know about all this?

Of course.

Both of you are crazy.

We're crazy in your eyes.

But we were

chasing our dream.

The one who's truly crazy is Dr Jones.

Keyate Pharmaceuticals asked for the vaccine research.

And Dr Jones was the bridge

between us and Keyate Pharmaceuticals.

It's the condition they proposed in the first place.

That way, they would invest in our course.

I remember you told me that

they invested in your work because your institute...

You're too naive.

There's no way that our small institute

was going to be able to satisfy Koyate Company's appetite.

Of course, what they wanted was a hugely profitable vaccine.

Did you know there's a children

who died from polio?

Yes.

Then did you know where his body was?

It's in that old mine.

Xu buried it.

That's the true secret of that mine.

Thomas did whatever dirty things

to paves the way for your course.

But unexpectedly, the earthquake broke the mine open.

So Xu asked someone

to get him a hologram projector,

which he used to project the image of an evil ghost.

That's the evil ghost Xiao Liu saw.

Xu then replaced the witch's incense coil

with the nutmeg incense

so as to make Xiao Liu's case look more realistic.

And once he got the mine sealed,

it's done.

Nobody would ever find out the bodies of those two poor kids in the mine.

I know you won't believe whatever I'm saying.

And I'm aware that I've done many mistakes.

But I really didn't know about that.

[One week ago]

Kelly.

Please arrange for Dr Jones and his team to leave the island immediately.

What about us?

Kelly, listen to me.

This is very important.

The bird flu is already spread across the island.

I need you to destroy all your vaccine research.

It's my vaccine, okay?

And it just succeeded! Do you know how hard it is?

Since I have no any direct involvement in your research,

I can cooperate with the police investigation immediately.

But,

to prevent the lab from being implicated in the future,

I need you to destroy all the evidence now.

Are you freaking kidding me? No way.

Kelly, there's no other way.

I'm serious.

I believe you didn't know it.

Because Thomas loves you very much.

But he did this to you.

Until now,

you haven't given up on the research.

You're too ambitious.

You know nothing!

I know people got infected.

But if my research is successful...

You won't succeed!

-If my research is successful, -It's too late for that!

no one in this world will ever be infected by avian flu again!

You think you're a god?

Kelly.

I find you very scary.

I don't care what you think about me!

After all, you've given up on me long ago.

Tian Cheng.

One more thing.

I already injected the vaccine into my body.

Send this medical record to Ward No. 3.

-Go. -Sure.

-Shu Hui. -Director Du.

I just received a call from the police.

We need to send a criminal suspect with suspected avian flu

to the isolation ward at once.

Ask Matron Ye to get ready for it.

Okay.

What's the name of the patient?

Kelly Liang.

Over there.

Be careful.

Check this out.

We must detect, report, and treat them early.

We can't miss out any of them.

Yes.

Sis Hong.

The nucleic acid reagent for avian flu is here.

Great! We've been waiting for it.

-Quick, send it to the testing laboratory. -Okay.

Sis Hong, please let me enter the isolation ward.

No way. I said, no.

Please, Sis Hong. It won't take long.

You're a nurse in training.

And you can't go into the isolation ward. Got it?

Sis Hong, please let me in.

Liu Xin Lu!

Do you even know what's going on here?

Both of you got into a fight.

And now you want to visit him at the isolation ward.

Then what?

You fight and you make up.

Do you think it's a market?

The isolation ward

is the last line of defense that

ensures our safety.

Besides,

if you had seen this coming,

why didn't you explain yourself when he came to find you?

Both of you got into a big fight.

And Xiao Cong and Wu got punched for no reason.

Liu Xin Lu.

I know you want to enter the isolation ward.

We'll try our very best to treat him.

Rest assured and get back to work.

I got it, Sis Hong.

Wu.

Sis Hong.

Don't come near me.

What's wrong, Wu?

I...

I've got a fever.

He's woken up.

Wu.

Wu, you've woken up.

I'm Zhou Yue. This is Liao Yu.

We came to visit you.

How are you doing?

Well, why are you here?

You must be feeling very hot wearing those outfits.

You've had a long day.

Head back now.

Take a bath and eat something.

You don't have to visit me.

Food tastes delicious only when you're around.

Well,

I'm so useless.

I was supposed to cook and take care of you guys.

And now you have to go back and forth between two places.

-What are you saying, Wu? -What a hassle.

In fact, we're sorry for what happened to you.

We doctors

never take good care of ourselves.

That's not the case.

Wu, I'm telling you.

Get well soon.

We're waiting for you to cook for us.

Green onion pancake.

-Sure. -Indeed.

I loved the dumplings you made.

If you don't make them, I will never eat a dumpling again.

And my most favourite is...

I remember that.

Spicy stir-fry hot pot.

I do. I do remember them all.

To tell you the truth...

Dr Liao's

stinky tofu,

Xiao Cong's skewers.

Sis Hong's West Lake Fish in Vinegar Gravy,

and Leader Huo's

Shandong-style jianbing.

Let me tell you.

I've mastered them all.

And I

plan to cook them

for your birthdays.

I'm telling you, Wu.

We can't wait until then.

-We want to eat them tomorrow. -Yeah.

You need to get well by today.

-Do you hear me? -Okay.

I'm going to be discharged tomorrow.

I'll be discharged tomorrow.

I'm as fit as a fiddle.

Rest assured. There won't be any problem.

Well, you guys

must

take good care of yourselves.

The weather is very hot.

You need to eat well.

Do you hear me?

Man is iron.

Rice is steel.

Take good care of yourselves.

Give me a finger heart.

Give me a finger heart.

Do it.

Here's a finger heart.

The others haven't had time to eat.

Sis Hong. Wang Xiao Cong.

You should grab a bite first.

I don't cook as good as Wu.

If they don't suit your palate,

I can make two...

No, Xin Lu. There's no need for that.

It's not that you don't cook well.

It's because we really have no appetite.

Here, sit down. You've had a long day.

You should eat first.

I have no appetite to eat.

Do you remember it?

When we first got here few months ago,

Leader Huo said that,

when they were in Africa,

he witnessed Dr Hua fall sick.

He wanted to save him, but he couldn't.

That feeling.

When he got back to the country,

it took him a long time to get rid of it.

Now I can sort of understand

Leader Huo's feeling.

Who would have thought that

the foreign aid work would have come with so many situations?

One comes after another

that they make our heads swim.

We're not done dealing with one.

Another one is already on its way.

Why Wu?

He's such a good man.

Why is he infected?

No, Wu will be all right.

We must pull ourselves together.

Let's not upset Wu with our worries.

Here.

Let's eat. The body is the capital of the revolution.

We need to eat even though we don't have an appetite.

Xiao Cong. Xin Lu.

Hurry up and eat.

Here, eat more vegetables.

Eat up.

It's all Xu Da Meng's fault.

I'm sure Wu got infected by him

when he's trying to pull them apart.

Xin Lu.

I'm sure Wu got infected from coming into contact with

live poultry.

So don't you feel guilty.

Why are you here?

The police found the vaccine in the fridge

as well as the syringe in the second floor of your house.

That's right.

I was injecting the vaccine

into my own body.

Ms Liang.

We need your help with investigation.

Please come to the station with us.

Sure.

But

please give me a moment.

I want to get changed.

Why did you do that?

We came to the stage

where we could perform clinical trials on our avian flu vaccine.

The first batch of vaccines

didn't work on

P and his friends.

So Dr Jones and I

attenuated it

and came out with the second batch of vaccines.

For this batch,

the first volunteer for its clinical trials

is me.

You're too obsessed with it.

You have no right to criticise me.

You do know it.

My mom

died from the avian flu type J.

I still remember

what happened that night.

I

stood outside the isolation ward all by myself.

The weather was

stuffy and hot.

I felt suffocated from the wait.

But I believed

Mom would come out of it.

That she would go home with me

and make me my favourite curry.

But she didn't.

The hospital

was afraid that the virus would spread again.

So they straightaway sent her into the crematorium.

I didn't even get to see her for one last time.

That feeling.

I can't describe it in words.

But here's what I know.

I wish no one in this world

would ever feel that way again.

The test result is out.

You're tested positive.

Never mind.

I'm ready for it.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello, Xiao Feng. It's me. Can you hear me now?

I'm okay. I'm all right.

I'm doing quite well. Rest assured.

Well, is your granny doing good?

How is your dad?

Does he make you nice foods?

I'm doing quite well here.

It's a beautiful place. And I eat and sleep well.

I'm doing very well here.

How are things at school?

Do you have a good time there?

Xiao Feng.

Today,

I would like to apologise to you.

You've loved to draw since you were young.

But I didn't allow you to apply for art school.

I insisted on having you to attend

the science & technology university that you don't like.

And I really regretted after that.

It's true.

I've been too bossy.

I've been controlling everything you do since you were small.

And I've never asked you what you really want or like.

Xiao Cong.

Xiao Cong.

Why is the screen black?

[Did something happen to you?]

Why is there no signal?

[Luo, is that you?]

[Did something happen to Xiao Cong?]

Yes, I just want to tell you that...

I want to tell you that,

be it study or life,

I'll support you in whatever you like

and are willing to do.

Do you see me now?

I do.

You're all right?

Can you stop worrying about me?

[All right. As long as you're okay.]

Wait. If you're all right,

why did you make this video call?

Dad.

I'm all right.

I've just missed you.

So I decided to check in on you.

It's weekend.

But you're not taking a nap.

[No, we haven't taken our nap.]

[Carry on, I'm listening.]

Why do I hear Xiao Cong's voice?

Why did he call you?

What's wrong, Son? What happened?

Your girlfriend got me a gift.

And I like it very much.

You need to thank her on my behalf.

What?

You always go to the art school for lectures?

That's great.

Just let me and your dad know if you need money for learning materials.

Don't worry. We've got money.

I'll keep a tab on your spendings.

And you have to pay them back.

Rest assured. I'm doing all fine here.

I've just

missed you already.

Actually, I've got nothing to say.

I just want to hear your voices and see you guys.

[You wanted to see us? Sure.]

[Here, there you go. Can you see us clearly?]

[Actually, we too miss you a lot.]

[How about this? Let's set a time]

[for our daily video call.]

[Considering the time difference between the two places,]

[let's do it after you get off work, and before we go to bed.]

-[Do you think it's a good idea?] -Yes.

[Fine. It's decided, then.]

[There's an avian flu type J epidemic at your end, right?]

[It's an fatal avian flu.]

[You need to protect yourself.]

-[You have to protect yourself.] -[Don't let it affect your work.]

Don't worry. I'll protect myself well.

[Son, that's the spirit.]

[You're more mature than before you went there.]

So it seems.

Hey, let me show you our dorm.

Sure.

B05.

This is my dorm.

All right.

I have to go on duty.

I'm hanging up.

I'll show you our hospital.

What do you think?

The conditions here are far better than those in Africa, aren't they?

Dad.

Mom.

I will not bring shame to you.
