[Breath of Destiny]

[Episode 9]

Hang in there.

Why did you do that?

That was so dangerous.

That man was holding the scissors.

And you charged towards him.

Were you trying to get yourself killed?

I was afraid

that he would kill us.

You're young and reckless.

It's silly of you to charge towards him.

You thought it's just some small fight between us colleagues

that would be resolved eventually?

Those were real scissors.

What if he managed to stab you?

What if you got stabbed?

Dr Xie is gone.

How do we live if something happens to you?

How do we?

As your big sister, I didn't protect you well.

How can we answer to your parents or the leaders?

Do you have any idea how anxious we were?

We were so worried about you.

You almost got yourself killed.

How silly.

We were so panic.

I know.

I'll definitely take good care of myself.

And I promise.

I will never fight with you again.

I never thought

that'd be

the last time we met each other.

He's really stubborn.

He's going to leave anyway.

But why did he go back to the village for evidence?

I'm to blame.

Had I

agreed to testify for you,

Dr Xie wouldn't have gone back for Ah Xiu.

And all this

wouldn't have happened.

We're responsible for it, too.

Leader Huo.

I've brought you the photo.

And I'd like to make you a copy.

I'm willing to testify with you.

I'm not afraid anymore.

Even if someone tries to kill me,

it's okay.

Xiao Cong. Wu.

What are you fiddling with? The meeting is about to start.

I'm working on this primitive Wi-Fi.

Isn't the signal not functioning well on the island?

I want to see if this can work.

If it works,

we can call our families every day.

And

it'll be convenient for us to communicate with the hospital.

You're really something else.

I wonder if the hospital knows about what happened to Dr Xie.

You're all here.

Here's the thing.

Buy got me a copy of the photo

and promised to testify for Xie Hua.

We still can't testify against the mastermind behind it.

But at least

we can prove Xia Hua's innocence.

Every injustice has its perpetrator, every debt its debtor.

Zal Island is very small. I'm sure we can find him.

Since we can prove

Dr Xie's innocence,

isn't it better

if we don't make a big deal out of it?

Leader Huo.

I'd like to put in my two cents.

First of all, I agree with

Dr Ge's suggestion.

Let's think about it.

We came to Zal Island not long ago.

And we haven't started working with the people.

Also, the islanders seem to have

a prejudice against us.

So I wonder if we can keep it from others first.

Once we've found out the truth,

it won't be too late for us to clean Dr Xie's name.

Right?

I don't agree with that.

Innocence is innocence. Truth is truth.

If we just let this go,

who will be the next unlucky one?

For example, what if the perp makes Dr Zhou his next target?

The more timid we are, the more likely we get bullied.

If you don't stand up for one today,

no one will stand up for you tomorrow.

Cong,

well said.

Let's stop talking about this. Qian Qi is waiting outside.

What should we do?

I brought Ah Xiu back here

before Qiao Qi found out.

It's my fault.

That's why Dr Xie...

Dr Xie was my master.

Now that he's gone,

I'll take responsibility for everything.

What are you doing?

It's not for you to do so.

It's what I'm supposed to do.

Wait.

Why are you looking at me?

Huh?

Why are you looking at me?

Do you find me a coward?

A wimp?

And you, Zhou Yue.

Did I ask you to take responsibility for it, huh?

Why would you do so? Was it your fault?

If Xiu became handicapped from the injury

but you didn't bring her back,

that'd be your fault. And you'd be responsible for that.

I didn't even criticise you and claim that it's your fault.

Why did you admit it's your fault?

Have you lost your mind?

-But I... -What?

Sit down!

Do you think

it's because

Xie Hua and I didn't get along well

that I'll never redress wrongs done to him?

Huh?

Leader Huo.

We didn't mean it that way.

Fine.

Haven't you

been guessing

what happened between me and Xie Hua?

Okay.

You may stop guessing already.

Since you want to know about it so bad,

I'll tell you.

The local staff may listen to it, too.

Please sit.

There, please have your seat.

But this story

is not pleasant to listen to.

Do you remember

Hua Lian Sheng?

You're supposed to attend to a malaria patient three years ago.

Yet, you passed the buck to Dr Hua.

Your excuse was to answer an urgent phone call.

You knew very well that Dr Hua had been working non-stop for days

and he's worn out.

It was during this rescue

that Dr Hua

had a heart attack

due to exhaustion.

At the time, you and Dr Hua

were the best associate dean candidates.

You got the promotion.

And he?

He lost his life in Africa.

Dr Hua Lian Sheng.

was my comrade and colleague in military hospital.

Both of us were sent to Congo

to fight against malaria.

Leader Huo.

what didn't you manage to explain

to Dr Xie?

Life

is full of coincidences than drama.

What the nurse said to me then.

I only

recalled it afterwards.

At that moment,

it's as if a bomb went off in my mind.

There's no way

I could focus on other things.

I answered a phone call.

It's from my old uncle.

He said

my dad and my mom

suddenly passed away.

There's a rule in my hometown.

When parents pass away,

their children should see them off.

I'm the only child in the family.

I wasn't there.

They

dared not cremate my parents.

And I got mission.

There's no way I could leave.

In the end,

I didn't manage to go back and see my parents off.

On the funeral day,

I was at the open space of the hospital

and kowtowed three times

at the direction of China.

It's such a serious matter. But the hospital didn't allow you home?

Wasn't that too inhumane?

I couldn't go home for the funeral because there's a mission to complete.

It's understandable.

Leader Huo.

No one knew about what happened to your family.

Had Dr Xie misunderstood you all this time?

I will

clear Dr Xie Hua's name.

I owe him this.

You'll stay and comfort Leader Huo.

Leader Huo.

I've got your back.

Dr Qiao.

Dr Liao.

Why are you sitting here alone?

You finally stopped ignoring me.

It's been a day since we talked.

On the day Qiao Qi attacked Dr Zhou,

I told him,

"Just ignore him. He wouldn't dare cut her."

I was wrong.

As a doctor,

one must be considerate when dealing with a problem.

One can't be too simple-minded or capricious.

Just like what happened on that day.

No one should take it lightly

when there's such a dangerous person in the hospital.

Being a doctor

isn't all about studying medicine.

It's also about reading people.

I got it.

My family has been overprotecting me since I was young.

I'm always reckless in the face of problems.

And I'm not thoughtful at all.

I admit that it's my fault.

When I found out that you're a medical team from China,

I was really happy.

Because my mom is Chinese.

So I see you all as my family.

Dr Liao, you need to help me as much as possible.

You can discipline me. I'll listen to you for sure.

What discipline you?

Let's work hard together, then.

You're still awake?

Horror movie again.

I've finished watching it.

Come on.

Let's have some drink.

Where did you get the wine from?

Buy

said it's a goodie.

It's a special gift for us.

He said it's because...

Because it's Dr Xie's favourite.

To Dr Xie.

To Dr Xie.

So?

Have you told your family about what happened to Dr Xie?

You?

I didn't say a word about it.

We just asked about each other's wellbeing.

I guess we're of the same kind. We keep bad news from our families.

I planned to say it.

Here's what I wanted to say.

"Dad."

"Mom."

"A hero was born here."

"He sacrificed his own life"

"for his faith"

"and determination."

"I know this hero."

"And I'm proud."

But...

But when I

heard my parents,

I couldn't say it.

I said

we got a hero here.

Yes, a hero.

But he...

Here.

So

what could I say?

I did what you did.

I just said I was doing good.

They asked about you. And I said you're doing good, too.

Everyone was doing well.

Dr Xie is a hero.

He's truly a hero.

But I'm not one.

I'm just a weakling.

I'm so afraid that I can't manage as well as Dr Xie.

That I will let everyone down.

Enough, stop belittling yourself.

Have more faith in yourself.

Yes.

Dr Xie is a hero.

He's seriously injured.

But he could hang in there.

But I find you quite tough, too.

Believe in yourself.

Rest assured.

You can definitely do it.

I can do it?

What am I good at?

I'm good at comforting myself.

And I tend to ignore criticism.

Can you do that?

No.

If you can't do it, drink up.

To avoid

and run away from

problems.

I'm good at that, too.

Look at Dr Xie

and Leader Huo.

If there's a problem,

they'd choose to face it.

They faced everything

head-on.

That's called courage.

When the signal became available,

who did you call first?

My family.

Me too.

So did everyone.

But did you know who Leader Huo sent a message to?

He sent his first message to the hospital.

It's to inform the hospital of Dr Xie's death.

He also reported

our situation on Zal Island to them.

You know what it's called? It's called

owning up to one's mistakes.

He puts everyone before himself.

Therefore,

Dr Xie

is this.

-To Dr Xie. -To Dr Xie.

Leader Huo

is this, too.

To Leader Huo.

To Leader Huo.

And

us.

We won't toast to ourselves.

Let's just toast to them instead.

We've had too much to drink.

After a long day,

you've lost weight.

Isn't it great?

What sound is it?

Do you hear it?

This.

I think it's Li Tian Cheng.

He's playing the harmonica again.

It sounds so bad.

Lian Tian Cheng is quite funny.

He always refuses to eat with us.

And he likes to be alone.

But he doesn't talk about his family.

Maybe he's used to it.

He has no family.

No family?

Where are you going?

I'll treat him to a drink.

Watch out.

Here's

a treat from Liao Yu.

I drink only when I'm happy.

I'm not drinking today.

You're no fun at all.

Did you know?

This

is Dr Xie's favourite wine.

It's

rice wine.

You're not having it?

I'll drink it.

Wait, you...

I think you're...

To Dr Xie.

Okay.

You've had too much to drink.

"Five dapple horse,"

"a thousand gold piece furs,"

"call the boy"

"to trade them for good wine,"

"with you we dissolve"

"all ancient sorrows."

Why are you here?

I...

I remember now.

You dare not drink it.

And I know why you dare not do so.

All lonely men dare not drink.

Because you have a secret.

And you're scared people will find out about it.

Right?

You see.

I knew it.

I'll take your silence as a yes.

I got it right.

Here.

I got it right.

Let me tell you.

Face

is the most useless thing.

One

must get rid of distracting thoughts.

If not, he can't make a good doctor.

Take me for example.

I have a secret.

But

it's not

some big secret.

I'm a PhD holder.

How unlucky.

Look at Dr Xie.

His life was without secrets!

He didn't have a guilty conscience.

He could move forward courageously!

He could follow his faith!

He could keep going no matter what!

It's because he didn't have a guilty conscience.

Only those without a guilty conscience

dare catch ghosts.

That's why I decided to stay and catch ghosts.

You need to do the same.

To catch the ghosts in our hearts.

To catch the ghosts in our hearts.

Compared to

Dr Liu,

I'm nothing at all.

Here's what he said to me.

"Wimp!"

"You can do it."

"You can do it."

I can do it.

Dr Xie said I could do it.

I can do it.

Ms Yang.

Bei Bei.

Welcome to Friendship Hospital of Zal Island.

They all said Dr Xie was dead.

It's all my fault.

Dr Xie is gone because I was being naughty.

Ah Xiu, don't cry.

We don't blame you, my child.

I'm sorry, Auntie.

I'm sorry, Sister.

Ah Xiu.

Remember. You must focus on recovery.

Uncle Xie will be happy watching you from heaven.

Right?

Am I right?

Don't be sad.

Little Sister.

May...

May you get well soon.

When you come to China,

we'll have fun together.

Yes.

Sister has a lot of storybooks there.

When you come to China, you'll stay at my place.

I'll cook whatever you want, okay?

But let's focus on recovery for now.

Okay?

Don't cry, my child.

Bei Bei, keep her company.

-I have to go find Leader Huo. -All right.

Let me tell you a story.

Ms Yang.

Hello.

Hello.

I'm Dr Xie's friend.

I'm the boss of Buy's Metro.

You're Buy?

Xie Hua mentioned about you in his letter.

Thank you for making the lives of medical staff convenient.

I thank you on Xie Hua's behalf.

Thank you.

Her father paints.

Her mother is a writer.

Her sister sings.

Her brother cooks.

I found this in Xie Hua's box

while sorting through his belongings.

I asked Leader Feng about it.

He asked me to just hand it to you.

Thank you.

Thank you, Ms Yang.

I knew Xie Hua's temper

the best.

In fact, he's responsible for

what happened, too.

But

his medical intuition had always been accurate.

So I hope you'll believe him.

I do believe him.

Moreover,

I would like to

apologise to him.

The signal is finally available.

And I finally received these photos from my family.

It's a thesis about our fight against malaria in Congo

three years ago.

When we published it,

we included Hua Lian Sheng's name,

as well as those of all team members.

I wanted to show these to Xie Hua and explain myself.

But it's such a shame.

He never had the chance to see them.

I'm to blame

for this lifetime regret.

I'll bring this story back to the country

and tell it to those junior high school kids.

When we were still young,

we could build trust with each other easily.

But as we get older,

we tend to worry about many things.

It becomes hard to do so.

If we could trust each other like we used to do,

that'd be so great.

It's been a while since I attended such a solemn ceremony.

Looking at the Five-starred Red Flag team badges on their white coats,

I really feel proud of them.

It's not easy

to be a foreign doctor here.

Daniel.

Do you miss your family?

No.

You should go home and visit them when you're free.

Go home?

Where?

My dad

has his own family.

And my mom has passed away.

My stepbrother.

He's eighteen years younger than me.

And he only sees me in photos.

So...

I just want to stay.

-Really? -Really? Yeah.

I'm tired of moving around. Just saying.

You know.

You know I'm the president of the hospital.

So

I think that's my destiny.

-That is wonderful. -Yes.

It's your home now.

If you need anything, Kelly and I will be happy to help you.

Don't worry about that.

My emergency contact is Cindy.

So she's my guardian now.

Well, that's good.

But anytime Cindy needs something, she'll come to me anyway.

-So... -Very true.

Well...

Thanks, bro.

Thank you.

Please come in, Dr Liu.

Where are Ms Yang and Bei Bei?

They're back to their room for some rest.

They made this

to commemorate Xie Hua.

You all have worked hard.

We're sent here

to solve the problem. But something like this happened.

-I'm ashamed. -I know.

You've tried your best.

You see.

You've only been here for ten-plus days. But the team members have lost weight.

Especially Xiao Cong.

When I get back, I need to figure out

how to tell Dean Wang about it.

Wang

never asks about Xiao Cong.

But I'm aware

how much he misses that kid.

And that Matron Xu.

Upon finding out that I was coming here,

she asked me to send her a picture of Xiao Cong no matter what.

She's afraid he's lying to her.

A mother knows her child best.

I saw what that brat sent to

Matron Xu.

He fooled his mom by sending her

a photo he took in Hainan.

Huo Xiang.

I'd like to communicate an important decision to you.

What decision?

Given the special situation

faced by your medical team on Zal Island,

the leaders have decided

to dismiss you.

Some medical team from another hospital will take over from you.

It's to prevent some other situations from happening,

and psychological trauma among the team members.

Dr Liu.

Is this decision final?

We'd like to seek for your opinion.

Truth be told,

I'm very worried about you all,

especially you.

I can feel how depressed you are.

I didn't mean to say such a cruel thing.

But aren't you afraid other members will get PTSD like you?

I hope you can give it a good thought.

It's been thirty minutes.

Can one of you say something?

Are we leaving for real? We've only been here for days.

I didn't care enough.

Having gone through such a calamity,

it's possible that you didn't

realise your psychological trauma.

I'd like to take responsibility

by sending you home.

Leader Huo.

Dr Liao.

You've always the most professional

and obedient of all.

You need to lead by example.

If something happens to your colleagues,

can you answer to their families?
