Episode 28

Ms. Qiu,

this way, please.

My Gail,

head of TKS Groups biomedical.

TKS.

World's biggest

biopharmaceutical research company.

It seems Ms. Qiu has a

very high opinion about our company.

Nice to meet you, Mr. Gail.

Please. The honor is mine.

Would you like to take a seat?

So,

I invited you here today

to discuss the possibility of us

coming to some kind of cooperation.

This is a check for 500,000 dollars.

What do you want?

The formulas and experimental procedure of Plan O.

If we can come to some kind of agreement today,

This is just an advance so it's only ten percent.

When we get what we want,

then the rest can be right to your account immediately.

Mr. Gail,

Plan O is worth more than 500 million

dollars to TKS, right?

Yes, of course.

It's inappropriate to talk to you only about the money.

This is Harry Laboratory Transfer Agreement.

Now,

as far as we've been able

to work out,

Harry is being publishing paid who’s in cure

that was written by your hand.

So he's been shamelessly plagiarizing your work.

When you went to confront him about it,

he kicked you out of his laboratory.

Now,

as friends,

we can't stand by idly and let that happen.

So,

if you come work for us,

we can make sure that Doctor Harry never shows his face

in scientific community ever again.

Mr. Gail,

I can feel the sincerity of TKS.

So,

do we have an agreement?

But I think you're not sincere enough.

It's five million dollars and

access to one of the world's best research facilities.

Not good enough for you?

I think you can offer me a third choice.

We're happy to do whatever you want.

You can destroy me.

Ms. Qiu, please.

Why on earth would we ever do anything like that to you?

You're one of the most outstanding

research scientists in the world.

We have the most advanced laboratory.

If you come work for us, it can only be

a win-win situation.

How could anyone say no to that?

If it's true,

why would you

come to me secretly?

Well,

if I agree to sell Plan O to you

for my own benefit today,

what will happen in the future?

We will make you

the brightest star in scientific industry.

Yes.

Then,

in this field, Chinese people

will have nothing forever.

And future Chinese researchers

will still have to put up with

the suspicion and contempt from Western Scientific Community.

If someone make an academic

breakthrough like me in the future,

it'll also be plagiarized.

People will still ignore it.

I'm sorry, Mr. Gail.

Me,

and all the other people of our laboratory

will not let that happen again.

We'll try our best to make the whole world know

Chinese people have made achievements in this field.

For our country

and the whole world,

we left priceless wealthy.

Honestly, really heart-warming touching story.

But really, Ms. Qiu?

Do you expect me to believe

that you're doing this all for your country?

Come on.

Let's be real.

What do you really want?

Chinese R&D is marked on Plan O.

It's my only condition.

Can't you do it?

It's OK.

The conference is going to start.

You're welcome to

witness the power of Chinese scientists.

Mr. Gail.

It's time we had a little chat to our friend.

Wenzhao,

look at the orchid I bought.

Is it beautiful?

Yes,

it's so beautiful.

Xianglan, you'll forgive me, right?

I did everything for you.

Si,

is Xiaoshan here?

No, it's Mr. Ruan.

Wenzhao.

It's been a long time, dad.

You're thinner than before.

Thank you for your concern.

Why are you here?

Did you forget what date it is today?

Xianglan is gone, but it's still the same here as before.

I ask someone to clean and tidy every week.

Dad,

do you know when I met Xianglan

for the first time?

When I met her for the first time,

she was shorter than this dresser.

At that time, my dad was your subordinate.

We hadn't been here yet.

One day,

my dad did something wrong. You hit him.

I was puerile.

I wanted to protect him.

But Xianglan showed up before me.

She was so young. She was so kind.

She said it's not appropriate to hit anyone.

People who hit others were bad.

Then she helped my dad up.

She asked him

if it hurt.

That's the first time that I saw an angel.

Later,

my dad defeated you.

You were forced to move here.

You thought my dad would come here

to ruin your life.

No, dad.

I wanted to come here.

I asked my dad to bring me here.

Xianglan is my wife.

Wherever she goes,

I'll try to find her.

Wenzhao, Xianglan is already dead.

No, she' s not dead.

She's just missing.

Three days passed. Maybe Xianglan is already...

She'll come back!

I can't let her be alone.

I'll wait for her here.

Found this scarf!

Found this scarf for here!

We found the scarf for here.

It's her. She's around.

She must be solely around.

Find her, okay?

Everybody find her!

Thanks!

Find her!

Wenzhao.

Sir, if this is her clothes,

I'm afraid she didn't make it.

Go find her.

Don't let me see you before you find her.

OK?

Thanks.

Find her.

Wenzhao.

Xianglan!

We're sorry for what happened here.

But...

according to the clues you were given me,

we've been searching for three whole days.

As the 72 hours for golden rescue

period has past,

the chance that she survived is very little.

I'm sorry.

Shut up!

Or I'll kill you.

You can't be true.

You lied to me.

Calm down. You lied to me.

Calm down, Wenzhao.

It can't be true!

Calm down, Wenzhao!

Xianglan!

Wenzhao.

Wen... Wenzhao!

Medicine. Medicine. Medicine.

Si, take his medicine here.

Dad, don't you think it's weird?

Why did the rescue team only find

that scarf? They didn't find

anything else.

That means she's still alive.

Wenzhao, you should believe the rescue team.

I don't believe them.

As long as I haven't seen her body,

she must be still alive.

Mr. Zha.

OK.

Uncle Zha.

You want to see me?

Someone wants to talk to you on the phone.

Who?

Si, make a call.

Hi.

Xiaoshan.

Xiaoshan.

Mom.

Xiaoshan, are you okay?

Mom, where are you?

Why did you want to call me?

Is there something wrong?

Xiaoshan, when will you come home?

I miss you.

Mom, I miss you, too.

Mom.

Mom!

Xiaoshan,

come here.

Take a seat.

Your mom messaged me last night.

She said she miss you.

She begged permission to speak to you.

She...

During these years,

I forbade you from contacting your mom.

On one hand,

I don't want you to get distracted.

On the other hand,

I'm afraid that what we did

will make your mom in danger.

I also had a kid.

After Xianglan died,

I learned what it felt to

miss a kid.

Did something bad happen to my mom?

Calm down.

Uncle Zha, please tell me.

What happened?

Recently she found a tumor in her stomach.

Don't worry.

It's a benign tumor.

She had the operation I arranged.

Your mom is old.

It's easy for her to get sick.

You're the only family she has left now.

If you can't take care of her

when she's sick again,

it'll be awful.

Uncle Zha,

what on earth do you want to say?

Actually, you know about that.

You want me to perform your task again.

To be a dutiful son or a faithful lover,

it's up to you.

Uncle Zha,

don't push me.

Xiaoshan, time won't wait.

Please give me some time.

Tomorrow,

you have to reply.

Zhou Xiaoshan.

It's been a long time, Zhou Xiaoshan.

What are you watching?

You.

Stop watching me.

You look much older.

No one can always be young.

That's wrong.

Xianglang is always twenty-two.

You just want to talk to me about the past times?

The past times?

It's past for you?

Mr. Ruan,

are you okay?

Go away.

What happened to you?

You should ask yourself, Zhou Xiaoshan.

Because of you, Xianglan went missing.

Why can you stay calm

in front of me?

If you didn't do that

to her,

would she die?

Xianglan was mine.

But she didn't love you.

Right.

She loved you.

But what did you give her?

You left her

with endless pain and torture,

which made her

kill herself at the age of 22.

Zhou Xiaoshan,

you owe her this life.

You can't pay her pack.

I've already sacrificed my whole life.

Ruan Wenzhao,

take care of yourself.

Why can you...

Why can you still be so calm?

Zhou Xiaoshan,

she died for you.

Why can you live peacefully?

No, my life sucks!

You're the one who

ruined your life!

You can still live a normal life.

What about me?

I have to live in the past forever.

I can't change.

Do you know what my only left wish is?

I wish Uncle Zha could forgive me.

Then I'll be able to stay with my mom

in her last days.

This is my only wish.

Stay with your mom

in her last days.

This is your only left wish?

Your life is really wonderful.

It's fair.

It's so fair.

What do you mean?

Zhou Xiaoshan,

your left wish

can't come true.

Listen,

your mom is already dead.

She died before Xianglan.

What did you say?

No.

It's not true.

Zhou Xiaoshan, do you think it's fair?

Xianglan died for you.

You can't live a normal life.

You can't.

You're lying!

It's not true.

It's not true!

Different cells have different life cycles,

but all of them will die in the end.

In order to extend the life,

a cell has to copy itself

before it dies.

However, the telomere which protects the copying

will be shortened every time.

When the telomere is gone,

the DNA mutates.

The information loss

promotes the dying of the cell.

According to Scientist Blake's research,

there is a protein called telomerase.

Based on a precise mechanism,

the telomere can be compounded with it.

With the telomerase,

cells can break through the

Hayflick limit

and obtain the permanent copy ability.

That means

maybe we can solve the long-term problem

of cancer.

With this finding, Scientist Blake

won the Nobel Prize in Medicine of 2009.

However, this finding

is still a theory.

What's worse,

90 percent of the cancer cells

have the same logic.

The telomerase can enable our healthy cells

to copy endlessly,

but it also can activate cancer cells

and make them copy endlessly

to attack the body.

Now the project of Plan O led by Wang Qitian

has already made a revolutionary breakthrough

in research on cancer cell's telomerase.

And it's undergoing Phase II clinical trial.

That means

a breakthrough will be made in cancer treatment.

I wanna talk to you.

I don't wanna talk to you.

Let me go.

Did you hear that? Let her go.

Let me go.

Jianing, let's go.

News of World Biological Sciences

Convention in A.

Qiu Jianing of Wang Qitian Laboratory

of Chinese biopharma industry

has attended this convention.

At 10:00 this morning,

she released the great research finding Plan O

for the first time.

Maybe it'll become the most

promising cure for cancer in the next ten years.

Look, guys.

Jianing usually looks plain.

Today she dressed up

and look like a star.

She's pretty.

Look.

A new message

It's our honor.

Zhou Xiaoshan?

What's wrong?

Why is he still in the group chat?

Weird.

Yes.

None of your business.

I'll create a new one.

Let's talk about our laboratory work

in the new group chat.

OK. OK.

Since Plan O is a world's

top-level project,

it should be

confidential.

Yes.

But we don't talk about work.

We talk about stars, gossips,

and good restaurants.

Zhang Yu, you're a researcher.

You're working on a top-level project.

From this moment,

right now,

be conscious of that.

Researchers also need to eat.

I'm coming.

Please get out.

Get out!

Or I'll shout.

Then shout. I don't care.

We've broken up.

Can you leave me alone?

Uncle Zha wants to meet you.

Why should I meet him?

Are you afraid you'll be

misunderstood

or I'll do...

Zhou Xiaoshan, it's enough.

You can stay here.

He'll come to see you.

Two hours.

Tomorrow afternoon, two hours. Is it enough?

OK.

Welcome. Welcome.

Welcome, Ms. Qiu.

Hi, Mr. Zha.

If you don't mind,

you can call me Uncle Zha like Xiaoshan.

It's not polite.

Take a seat,

please.

Have a taste, Ms. Qiu.

Thanks.

How does it taste?

Bitter.

Add some sugar.

Still bitter.

Mr. Zha,

actually, many things

are like your coffee.

Even if you add sugar, it won't change.

Ms. Qiu,

what happened is Xiaoshan's fault.

I'd like to apologize for him.

It's not true.

There's no right or wrong in love.

When my daughter died,

I made some strict demands on Xiaoshan.

I didn't expect that he'd take it serious.

Mr. Zha,

if you want to persuade me,

you'd better give up.

No,

I don't want to persuade you.

I only want to tell you

that he's into you.

He has been back for more than a month.

In this month,

he spent every day in the casino.

He wasn't like this before.

This time,

his heart really hurts.

In his mind,

he doesn't want to lose you.

But he thinks he betrayed Xianglan

and feels guilty.

All the pressures on him

almost broke him.

But he already made a choice.

He regrets it. He realized your importance.

Please forgive him.

Can you give him another chance?

Mr. Zha,

I have my own principles.

Sorry, I can't do it.

Ms. Qiu,

Xiaoshan didn't tell you

how my daughter died, did him?

Mr. Zha,

about the past, you should...

Xianglan shot

the boy who wanted to rape her.

Xiaoshan took the rap,

but the boy's family was powerful.

If they sued us,

Xiaoshan would spend his whole life in jail.

Xianglan had no choice

but to marry the boy.

However, soon after she got married,

she had depression.

She jumped off the cliff.

She didn't want to

be with anyone except Xiaoshan.

She committed suicide because she loved Xiaoshan.

Xiaoshan wanted to break up with you

because he's afraid that

the same thing will happen to you.

Am I right, Xiaoshan?

Zhou Xiaoshan,

you did that

because you were afraid that

I would be hurt, right?

You don't know me.

Qiu Jiaxin asked me to bring this.

I didn't open it.

You don't wanna open it?

Well, don't worry.

I just wanna know what's inside.

Really?

You like the pink cat.

No, I don't.

There is no

shame in like the cat.

I said I don't like it.

Mo Li.

I walked a long way

just to bring you this?

Fine.

Thank Jiaxin for me.

No, thank her by yourself.

I gotta go.

Wait.

What's wrong?

Tell me

what do you think of Jiaxin.

What do you mean?

I mean

what she is in your mind.

A student and sister.

Right.

That's it?

Yep.

No,

I used to treat her

as my future sister-in-law.

However, because of Zhou Xiaoshan,

Qiu Jianing will never like me.

So, you still like Qiu Jianing?

I'm stupid.

What did you say?

Who's stupid?

You... You said...

What happened?

Fight, guys.

Destroy the turrets.

All of you died.

You're so weak.

Move forward!

Are you stupid?

Teacher,

it's a critical moment. Wait.

Qiu Jiaxin!

Qiu Jiaxin. Qiu Jiaxin. Hurry up!

I'm good.

Hi, teacher. Talk to me.

Talk what?

The international call is expensive,

but you asked me to wait.

You called me.

OK.

I gave the stuff to her.

She took it.

Thanks.

But your friend was rude to me.

Everyone related to Zhou Xiaoshan

is a pest.

Teacher, what did Mo Li do to you?

She scolded me.

What did she say?

She asked me if I still like your sister.

She thinks I'm stupid.

She thinks who's stupid?

She thinks I'm stupid.

I'm not sure.

Maybe she thinks your sister is stupid.

She doesn't like me.

I like your sister.

I'm not stupid, am I?

Am I right?

Qiu Jiaxin, say something.

Teacher, I gotta go.

Are you going to sleep early?

Don't waste your time on me.

Visit my sister if you're free.

Both of you went abroad. It's time

to establish a relationship with her.

She's with Zhou Xiaoshan now.

Why are they together again?

Let's stop here.

Bye.

What you need to do now

is to help Zhou Xiaoshan

complete the task of Plan O.

What should I do?

He plans to reunite with Qiu Jianing.

Qiu Jianing

is a tough girl.

Xiaoshan hurt her once.

It'll be hard to reunite.

If bro can't do it,

I'm afraid I can do nothing.

No.

Words spoken by outsiders

are more touching.

I'm not here to drink.

I'll drink.

I know we can't go back.

But this time,

I only hope you can promise one thing.

Say it.

Let me go back to the lab.

Zhou Xiaoshan,

what's on your mind?

I begged you before,

but you refused.

Now you say you want to go back?

The work and us.

You must be kidding.

As long as you let me go back.

I can do anything for you.

Uncle Zha asked me to choose biochemistry.

As to me,

subjects are equal.

I remember I did my first experiment

when I was a sophomore.

A senior student

demonstrated an experiment of immunoblotting.

It's weird.

That was my first experiment,

but I felt like I did it many times.

Among all student,

I was the best.

So what?

Why did you say it to me?

I wanna go back.

Only work

can make me feel I'm useful.

I wanna work with others.

Work for Plan O

with others.

I hope you can agree.

Your resignation letter has been submitted.

Zhuzhu said

it wasn't approved.

She also said

Mr. Huang asked you to persuade me.

Yes.

Hope we can work together again.

You can go now.

Are you sure to stay alone?

Of course.

I'm not used to leaving you alone.

What's your plan?

Is it familiar?

That night

in the hotel,

I was drunk.

We spent a night together.

Yes.

I woke up next day.

You called me by a wrong name.

I did it on purpose.

Jianing,

who I love is always you.

Only you,

all the time.

Jianing.

Zhou Xiaoshan!

Let me go, Zhou Xiaoshan!
