[Fireworks of My Heart]

[Adapted from the novel "A City, Waiting for You" by Jiuyuexi]

[Episode 31]

They take patients for nothing.

Madam, sir.

Please come down.

We can have a proper talk in the meeting room, okay?

Madam, it's cold outside. Let's talk inside.

We're not talking to you! What is there to talk about?

My daughter-in-law was a good person.

She was filial, reliable.

She died because of you people!

If you don't pay up, we will...

There's nothing to talk about. Pay up!

We can talk right here.

Just say it. Are you paying?

Young man.

We live in a judicial society.

We have to be reasonable, right?

If you feel wronged, you could get a lawyer and file a lawsuit. Yeah?

Get a lawyer? File a lawsuit?

You make it sound so easy.

- We have no money nor power. - Follow my lead. Ready for my cue.

I'm telling you, you will pay us!

- Recompense! - Mister, get down first.

Any misgivings you have, we can talk it over.

Officer, look there.

Madam, sir. Let's come down and talk properly, okay?

No way.

Listen up, all of you.

I'm making myself clear.

If I die today, it will be blood on your hands.

The people down there can bear witness.

- Officers... - Don't come near!

- Calm down. - Mister, don't do anything rash.

We're warning you one last time!

If you don't resolve it, I will jump!

Don't do it!

Don't jump!

You're not going to jump.

- Sis-in-law? - What did you say?

I'm telling you.

You and the hospital will be in trouble if I die.

We don't need you here, Xu. Hurry up and leave.

- Don't come close! - Xu.

Don't come close!

Stay away!

Son.

No need to look. You're not high enough to die from the fall.

At most, you'd break a few limbs.

Maybe become paralyzed and be bed-ridden forever.

Are you even human?

The hospital killed my daughter-in-law.

You people have to recompense!

- Pay up! - Recompense! Pay up!

Just get down from there.

Do you know why the hospital won't recompense?

I don't care why. Just pay up!

If we pay,

it will be a blemish on Dr. Yang's career.

Dr. Yang studied medicine for 10 years.

She went here and there to complete her further studies

and managed to get to where she it today through hard work.

It's true.

A doctor is trying to make a living too.

But some doctors have personal convictions for the job.

It is to save lives and help the injured.

To push beyond academic boundaries for the sake of the medical industry.

Even creating miracles for humankind.

They didn't become doctors to be ridiculed by unreasonable people like you.

Do you know the amount of resources the school, hospital and country

have to spend to nurture a skilled doctor like that?

Who gave selfish people like you the right to destroy her future?

You called us unreasonable?

You people make empty accusations!

Whether or not you're unreasonable is up to legal judgment.

There will be an official statement regarding what happened to your daughter-in-law.

A person doesn't have to be noble.

At least take care of your own self and not make trouble for the society.

But look at how much public resources you're wasting right now?

See the firefighters and police officers who have come to save you?

They chose their careers not so they could send you off to your deaths.

Aren't you a man?

You don't have the means or ability,

so you try to get easy money using your wife's death.

What did you say?

A person like you is no man.

I'll kill you!

Son!

Stop him!

Check for injuries.

- All good. - Chi.

Help the old lady up.

You come with me.

Are you okay, Chi?

I'm all right.

What the heck was that just now?

It was too risky a move.

I'm sorry.

I didn't think about it.

I know you did it with good intention.

But you're a medical personnel.

There were firefighters there. You shouldn't have voice out.

Nothing bad happened in the end.

Yes, nothing bad happened. But what if something did?

Also, the things you said.

What if someone recorded it and posted it online?

There will be no explaining it.

Young people lack real life experience.

You're always calm and collected. So what made you act out like that?

Go ahead if you're going to punish me.

I'd have punished you if I planned to.

I'm hoping this matter can be quickly resolved too.

Take this as a lesson.

You.

Go and get a hot drink and put on a jacket.

Go on.

Okay.

My family found out what happened.

They want me to change my job.

Do you want to?

Of course not. But it's not up to me.

You said it.

In this state,

I'll just be a burden to you.

Losing a person who is of no value to the team is not a problem.

- Who said that? - You did.

[Loyalty to the party, disciplined and impartial]

You said I could never survive in the grassroots level.

That was before.

What about now, then?

If you wish to go, then go.

But if you don't want to,

then don't.

I have to at least have a reason for not leaving.

That's easy.

Shili Tai needs you.

That won't cut it. You could just get another instructor.

Maybe even someone more worthy who's better than me.

I need you too.

Happy now?

No need to beat around the bush. That's what you wanted to hear, right?

If you knew, then say it a few more times.

What was that?

Come close.

Just go.

Do you need me more or Shili Tai needs me more?

Neither one needs you.

Make it clear. Or else I'm going to ask for a reassignment.

Song Yan!

[Braving fires, Serving the people]

- Qin Qin? - Is it her?

It is Qin Qin.

Qin Qin.

You're back.

Mr. and Mrs. Zhai, how come you're here?

We know you worked the night shift.

The shops along this alley have closed and it's so dark.

We worried about you walking alone.

Yan is at the station so I asked the mister to come and get you.

Oh, right. We bought your favorite shrimp dumplings.

Is this the right one?

Yes. Thanks, Mr. and Mrs. Zhai.

Qin Qin must be hungry.

Let's go home. I'll cook dumplings for you.

- Come on. - Let's go.

Your hand is so cold.

Quick, put it in the pocket to keep warm.

I know these dumplings are good.

Let's go home and have dumplings.

Cook more. We'll eat together.

Qin Qin, make sure you eat more.

- Okay. - You're too skinny.

Eat more. It's for your health.

Then, you'll be able to work better.

Okay.

It's the same with Song Yan.

His work is not defined or fixed.

He's skinny too.

Qin Qin.

Did something happen today?

I met Song Yan today.

Yesterday, they responded to a call. There was an explosion.

- What happened then? - Is he okay?

He wasn't hurt.

What about the others? Are they okay?

Yes.

Thank goodness.

I still feel scared thinking about it.

What if...

Qin Qin.

Don't be scared.

It's all right. Song Yan is a reliable kid.

He knows how to keep himself safe. He knows how to protect his team members too.

Actually, we have tried to get him to switch to a different a job.

But he can't bear to leave his team members behind.

You know, his team is rated as the best and most reliable in this area.

There hasn't been any major accidents because he trained them well.

Why did he choose this career?

Well, that kid used to be a soldier.

He was doing okay.

But due to certain reasons, he didn't get promoted.

So he later decided to become a firefighter.

Qin Qin.

You know that Qin Qin was abandoned as a kid.

His biggest wish is to have his own family.

He wants to dote on his family, and the person he loves.

That's the person he is.

I see.

- And... - That's enough.

Look here.

Qin Qin must be tired from working all day.

If you don't have appetite, just go back and rest early, okay?

I'll be off, then. Bye Mr. and Mrs. Zhai.

Okay.

That girl is bothered by something.

It's between them. Let them figure it out themselves.

Why are you so worried?

How can I not?

What if they break up again?

What if she leaves him like his birth mother?

What kind of comparison is that?

I told you not to talk about that woman, but you did it again.

I punish you to make breakfast tomorrow.

I'm going to sleep in.

Finish this. Don't waste food.

As if he ever made breakfast.

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Mom.

- Qin Qin. - Mom.

Qin Qin.

Dad!

Qin Qin.

Qin Qin.

Mom.

What did you guy do?

Why did you do this?

I'm sorry.

I don't want your sorry.

Mom!

Captain, we're off. Rest early.

- Sleep early. - We're off.

[Song Yan]

Hello.

Hello.

I just got back.

You called?

I had a nightmare.

What happened?

An explosion.

You died.

Silly girl.

I'm as fine as can be.

Did you forget? I'm still not fully recovered.

I won't be doing hands-on work.

Don't worry and focus on your work.

I'll be back this week. We can spend the weekend together.

You have both days off, right?

Yes.

Two days.

I've changed my shifts with the rest.

This way, I'll have the whole weekend free.

Don't think too much.

Sleep early.

By the way.

Take a cab to work tomorrow.

Don't squeeze with train commuters. It's too crowded during peak hours.

With your physicality, you'll get hurt.

Song Yan.

I miss you.

I miss you too.

Very much so.

Go to sleep.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

Jiang Yu!

[Always ready to respond to emergency]

Wake up, Jiang Yu!

Wake up, Jiang Yu!

Jiang Yu!

Wake up, Jiang Yu!

Wake up, Jiang Yu!

Are you hurt?

- Did you get hurt? - I'm okay.

Disperse. Get back to your positions. Now!

Yes, sir.

Are you crying?

When did you guys get here?

- We've been here a while. - Been here half a day, sir.

Moved to bits, huh?

You even saved a copy.

I have to keep a copy.

I'll save it till I die.

Okay, let me be. Go on, leave.

Let me immerse myself in the moment.

- We'll share the touching moment with you. - Let us join you.

This clip.

- Let's watch it again. - One more time.

- Jiang Yu! - Jiang Yu!

- Wake up. - Jiang Yu!

- Wake up. - Jiang Yu!

Jiang Yu!

Jiang Yu.

What happened yesterday really scared me.

Their job is really full of danger.

When normal couples date, they open a bottle of red wine.

When we are finally able to meet, we open a bottle of iodine.

Normal couples would say, "Your button is loose. Let me sew it for you."

As for us?

"You have an awful gash. Let me suture it for you."

Isn't that scary?

Dr. Xu.

Here.

Dr. Xu, can I ask you a question?

How are you always so calm?

What do you mean?

As a firefighter's family dependent.

How do you make yourself not worry?

I can't.

Are you used to it after some time?

I'm not used to it.

Then, what do you do?

- There's nothing to do. - Nothing to do?

How do you fix it?

- How? - I don't know.

This is 119. What's your emergency?

Let's go!

Attention Shili Tai.

A cyanide leak at an electroplating plant. Three workers have been poisoned.

60 milligrams of hydrogen cyanide gas is enough to kill.

Take proper precautionary and decontamination measures to avoid spread of poisonous gas.

Roger that.

Check the blood cyanide level and alveolar-arterial gradient. Notify Respiratory.

- Quickly. - Okay.

Pi Pi, hurry. Set up the decontamination channel here.

Okay.

Hurry up, Pi Pi. How much longer?

- Almost done. - Quickly.

No workers are trapped inside.

The three workers who were poisoned have been sent to the hospital.

Do you have the blueprint?

The worker has to open this gas regulator valve during normal operation.

But they made an error. They opened the valve for the acid pipeline.

Therefore, the acidic substances mixed with cyanide-containing liquids

and synthesized into hydrocyanic acid.

Finally, it gasified into poisonous hydrogen cyanide.

What is the volume of the waste water tank?

25 tonnes.

That much? It means it's become a lethal gas chamber.

Yes. 60 milligrams is enough to kill a human.

Right now, it contains 25 tonnes of cyanide wastewater.

If it overflows, it will create 10,000 grams of hydrogen cyanide.

When the concentration reaches 300 milligrams per cubic meter,

it will cause death by electroshock.

Jiang.

How is the progress?

Captain.

The decontamination booth has been set up.

Let's go.

Jun Ping, put on your gear.

Yes, Cap.

Captain.

The detection robot is in position. You guys can head in.

Roger that.

Watch out.

Cap.

Turn right after the wastewater adjustment tank and you'll see the acid wastewater valve.

The concentration level has reached its limit. You guys have to hurry.

Cap, the one on the side is the gas regulator valve.

Cap, the level is dropping.

You two can come back now.

- Captain. - Cap!

- Yang, what's the situation? - It's okay.

Everything is fine.

The flange valve is leaking. Get a wrench.

Okay.

Cap, the wrench.

- Shine the light here. - Okay.

None survived.

Cyanide is the king of poison.

Once exposed to it, it's basically death.

Everyone, wear your breathing apparatus.

Captain is out.

Prepare for decontamination.

Good job, Chi.

Captain!

Captain.

Captain!

Doctor!

I need a doctor!

Doctor!

I need a doctor!

Hurry!

Here.

Captain.

Captain!

Dr. Xu.

Another patient with cyanide poisoning is being sent here.

Director Xu approved the emergency green channel.

You can go after you get your medication.

What? Another cyanide poisoning?

It's the same electroplating plant. The firefighter who responded got poisoned too.

Oxygen.

Dr. Xu, it's ventricular fibrillation.

Get the defibrillator.

Inject one milligram Epinephrine.

200 joules. First time.

Stand back.

200 joules. Second time.

Ready.

Stand back.

200 joules. Third time.

Stand back.

Dr. Xu, pulse is back.

Dr. Xu, I'll prepare for the blood cyanide toxicity test and the ABG analysis.

Xi, go get ready.

The results are out.

There is no abnormality in the blood cyanide level.

ABG analysis is normal.

If there's nothing unusual during monitoring, you can be discharged.

See?

I'm fine.

Don't worry.

I know you're fine.

That was hydrogen cyanide.

If you were poisoned, you wouldn't be lying here.

Who was it that said, because they weren't fully recovered,

they didn't have to be hands-on.

Who said,

they would take care and wouldn't get hurt.

Xu Qin.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to keep it from you.

I don't want to hear sorry.

You didn't do anything wrong.

I don't care that you kept it from me. What I want is for you to be safe.

Song Yan.

Have you ever thought about

switching jobs?

Forget it. I'm working right now.

We'll talk later.

Song Yan.

I'm not

a noble person.

I don't care for righteousness.

I'm just a selfish human.

I don't want you to be the hero.

Why do you have to?

Why should I?

Dr. Xu really went all out for Captain today.

Yeah. Now I understand why Captain likes Dr. Xu.

She's unlike most women.

Indeed.

Think about it.

How mentally strong must one be to be a firefighter's wife.

You know what?

See, I just started a relationship.

Her family never really liked what I do.

Such dumb luck that she saw me today out of all days.

How about that?

But I get it. Nobody should live in constant fear and worry.

That's true.

If I had a girlfriend, I wouldn't be able to bear it too.

What about you and Miss Nan?

Forget it.

It won't work when I'm the only one interested.

After what happened today, I now see her point of view.

Come on, that's not the reason why.

Then what is it?

She's older than you.

What era are we living in? Height is no problem. Age is just a number.

Then go and tell her. Don't be telling us.

That's right. Tell her.

Yeah.

What? You look like a wuss right now.

I'll do it.

Go on. I'll approve your day off.

It's fine. Who knows she's still at work right now? Go ahead.

- Go on. - He's a wuss. He's not going.

Let me warm up first.

Yeah, okay. Go after you're all warmed up.

I was so scared.

Feel my heart. It's still beating so fast.

Stop crying. You're an ER nurse.

How could you break down so easily?

How would you react if it happened to your boyfriend?

It was because I happened to see what happened last night.

What if I didn't see it?

Who knows what other terrible things could be happening?

You can't blame me for overreacting.

All right. They've trained for a long time.

They know how to handle such scenarios.

Risks and dangers are part and parcel of the job.

Yes. I knew his job was high risk.

But I didn't think it'd be this dangerous.

There, there. Don't cry.

- Come on, let's get to work. - Okay, let's go.

How can I not feel scared?

Every time we meet, it could be the last time.

All right, I know. Don't cry.

Did you see Qin Qin today?

She must have been so worried.

You two are fine, right?

Here's the soup.

Boy.

Is something weighing on your mind?

You can talk to your aunt and I.

Maybe we could give you some ideas.

I feel like I'm useless.

Yan.

I know.

You like Qin Qin.

We can tell how much Qin Qin likes you too.

We're just worried.

What if you two spend more time together and realize it's not working?

Think about it.

Back then, your mother was doing okay in life.

But when your dad got into trouble, she divorced him.

Even when she was in such a bad state,

she refused to return to the life of a normal person.

- Moreover... - Xu Qin is not like that.

Don't talk about her.

She's getting off work.

I'll go and get her.

Go on.

How many times have I told you? Don't talk about that person in front of the boy.

I thought it should be okay since he's grown up.

Even when he's old, the wound will still be there.

Look at him. Does he look fine to you?

Also, why did you compare Qin Qin to that woman?

Don't they have enough on their plate already?

Fine, okay. I get it. I shouldn't have said that.

I'm just worried about him.

All right. Just don't bring it up again.

When he brings her back later, better watch what you say.

Let's eat.

I made shrimp balls just for you. More collagen for beauty.

What is it? Let's go home.

Let me hug you.

My wife.
