All language subtitles for Tientsin Mystic EP13

Why didn't we find him before?

If he knows who the holy child is,

why did we waste our energy
on creating a new one?

We have gotten into so much trouble.

Don't be afraid of trouble.

Nothing can be counted
as trouble compared to him.

Getting him out

might be our biggest trouble.

Perhaps I was too optimistic
and too cautious.

I thought we didn't need him.

Now that the situation
is getting out of control,

why don't we get him out
and stir things up?

I'm truly curious

about the man who you think is trouble.

Being curious won't change anything.

Be fearful instead.

For he is indeed a fearsome adversary.

I told you, evolution begins with fear.

The fear he causes

will drive the evolution.

He will come out easily

as you want.

We know where he is, don't we?

Just take him.

That place is heavily guarded.

Don't give me that look.

I didn't count on you.

I've already asked a new friend of mine

to do this favor for me.

The underworld.

Science.

Punch and kick.

The truth.

A great swimmer.

Forensics.

Sorceress.

Reporter.

Weak body.

Special detective.

Mother.

Secretary of municipal government.

An individual with unsurpassed
and exceptional abilities.

Young Master.

Belongs to the Great God.

The heiress.

Neither a smoker nor a drunkard.

What is the use of having power and money?

Can't stand the sight of you.

Not bad. Reasonable and fair.

Take a bath.

Are you kidding me?

Not finicky.

There are clues.

Germany.

Spirit channeling.

Big news.

Chamber of Commerce
for Water Transportation.

Master.

De-you!

Father.

Not messing things up.
Not afraid of things.

Inference.

Evidence.

Childhood sweetheart.

The people of Tientsin.

Mao Ding.

De-you Guo.

-River God.
-River God.

-River God.
-River God.

EPISODE 13

Welcome home, Young Master.

Welcome home!

All right, you can leave us now.

Go.

Allow me.

How is it going?

Has your wound healed?

It's sewn up fine.

Luckily, my viscera weren't hurt.

Or you'd see my photo on the wall.

President Ding, congratulations.

You are too kind.

I didn't bring anything.

How about a hemostatic spell for you?

Hold this.

Sit.

When the sun reddens the east,

a man comes on a white ox
with a golden whip in his hand.

The easterly flowing water
was stopped by a shout,

thus forbids the stream from flowing on.

-Here comes the Buddha.
-That's enough.

Just sit down.

I appreciate your kindness,
but I'm no longer bleeding.

If you're not too busy,

would you stay for lunch?

-Okay!
-I can't.

I have other plans.

Sure, help yourself.

Let's eat!

If we were to have lunch together,

we're still missing one person.

Where is De-you?

Take this!

That's enough.

I'm done.

Pardon me?

What's wrong?

Why did you stop?

Hey.

Are you feeling sick?

Just leave me alone, please.

Come on, you can't hide it from me.

You're sick at heart, right?

Stop that, will you?

I'm fine.

I know you too well.

It's all because of that nuisance,

De-you, right?

Hey.

Hey!

Goodness.

Did he take advantage of you?

Watch your tongue!

Just tell me the truth.
I need to know what he did to you.

I just...

I just haven't seen him for a long time.

Goodness!

How revolting!

I thought he did something bad to you.

I'm worried about him.

Hi, buddy.

How did you get in?

I walked in, of course.

Through a window?

I'm here to see you.

You don't have to bother your servants.

To see me?

Why didn't you come when I got discharged?

Well, here I am.

How are you?

Are you fully recovered?

Yes, for a while now.

Thanks to my precise sewing.

What have you been up to?

Ying Gu has been looking for you.

Look at you.

You won't be back to the temple, will you?

I guess not.

I've taken over the Chamber of Commerce.

I'm so proud of you.

The president of the Chamber
of Commerce is my fellow disciple.

What about you?

You're living in the temple alone.

Do you want to move in here?

No.

I'm not used to your grand mansion.

I'll protect that small temple
for our master.

Maybe he'll be back one day.

Is there no news of him yet?

Not yet.

How about the Ancient Evil Gang?

No progress.

Anyway,

we finally forced

Hua-qing and the Ancient Evil Gang
to take action.

We must carry on the investigation.

But before that,

there's something more important.

What is it?

Lend me some money.

Money?

Repaying a loan makes it easier
to borrow the second time.

And I wish to continue borrowing.

-Why do you need it?
-To spend it.

-How much do you want?
-How much do you have?

Just tell me how much you need.

Generous! That's what I want to hear.

I need 300, please.
Here's the loan agreement.

LOAN AGREEMENT

Help!

Come.

Sit here.

Cut.

-Give Ms. Wang a blanket.
-Okay.

-Mei-ren.
-Director.

How did you feel
when you were in the water

before he got you out?

I felt helpless,

scared

and desperate.

I didn't feel that.

If I can't feel it,

neither can the audience.

One more shot.

Come on, warm yourself up.

-Thanks.
-That was so good.

Thank you so much, Mr. Chang.

The director isn't satisfied.

He's just nit-picking.

This will be the only drowning scene.

Don't worry, I won't allow any more of it.

This is my job as an actress.

What the hell are you waiting for?

Are you ready?

Come in.

Master Guo.

How did you get in?

He walked in.

Is there anything wrong?

Right, something happened at the pier.

I'll check it with the other members.

Ask for Monkey if you need anything.

He's waiting in the gatehouse.

What's going on?

Nothing, just a little squabble.

I'll go with you.

No.

You just recovered.

You'll catch a cold at the pier.

Get some rest, Young Master.

It's all right.
I'd like to see the brothers.

Why are you still here?

What the hell did you just do?

Didn't we just tell you?

-Get out of there!
-What's going on?

What are you doing?

I heard your scream from afar.

What's that all about?

-Hey, isn't she...
-Thank god you're here, sir.

We're shooting a film on the pier

with Secretary-General Xiao's approval.

They've been trying
to pick a quarrel with us nonstop.

How can I continue?

I don't give a damn
about the government or Secretary Xiao.

You can't do anything here unless
you have President Ding's permission.

Mr. Yang.

It's Chang.

Right, Mr. Chang.

How about this?

Let's call it a day now.

And I'll ask President Ding
to apologize to you.

Impossible.

The scene is half done.
There's no way I can end it like this.

Who will bear the loss?

Hey, are you still refusing to leave?

Be adamant all you want,

but don't blame us if we get physical!

-Leave this place! Hurry up!
-What are you doing?

Are you going to harass us
in front of the police?

-Listen to me.
-President Ding.

President Ding.

President Ding, about time.

Come here.

What's going on?

Allow me to introduce this man.

He's Mr. Yang from Shanghai.

It's Chang.

Right, Mr. Chang.

They want to use the pier today
to make a film.

Can you allow it?

Do me a favor, okay?

You can discuss the details.

President Ding.

I'm new here, so I don't know the rules.

I only informed the government.

But I didn't know
that I should've consulted you.

Forgive my ignorance, sir.

The scene is half done.

Please do me the favor to let us finish.

We'll greatly appreciate it.

Workers have stopped working.

As you can see,

our workers have to stop working
because of your filming.

If I allow you to film,

they may have trouble
making a living today.

But we are halfway finished.

We can compensate them for their loss.

Please, let us resume.

It's not about money.
It's about rules and regulation.

But you can't ask us to stop right now.

-Captain Fu.
-Yes?

Can such a huge pier

solely belong to the Chamber of Commerce?

Then, Haihe is mine.

Hey.

Try to discuss it with him.

-Mr. Chang?
-Yes?

I don't know whether Haihe is yours.

But I know for sure

that this pier belongs
to the Chamber of Commerce.

Understood?

Hey.

Haihe is neither yours,

nor his.

But I'm pretty familiar with it.

Who is he?

The Little River God.

-I see.
-I'm flattered.

Mr. Chang.

If both of you refuse to budge,

do you think you can finish the scene?

President Ding.

Even if they get their stuff and leave,

half of the day has already been wasted.

The work on the pier
will be delayed anyway.

What's your solution?

The essence of the underground rules
is making compromises.

It's not a big deal.

We don't have to be hostile
toward each other.

The Chamber of Commerce is prestigious.

The half day's loss is a not a big deal.

They've shot half of the scene.

President Ding,

why not be generous
and let them finish it instead?

When the film is released, they will give
a special credit to your organization

by mentioning your organization
on their film poster.

Wouldn't that be impressive?

All right.

I agree.

-See? Problem solved.
-Thank you.

It's against the rule.

Just this once.

Thank you, President Ding.

Please have your people dismissed.

Dismiss.

The problem is solved, right?

Don't interrupt the filming anymore.
Please dismiss now.

-Go.
-Brothers, let's go.

Let's go.

Mr. Chang.

If you need a righteous police officer
or something in the film,

I'd like to volunteer.

-Sure.
-Pardon us.

We didn’t know about the rules.

Sorry for the trouble we caused.

I'd like to apologize to President Ding,
on behalf of the crew.

Don't mention it.

And thank you

for solving the problem for us,

Little River God.

You're welcome.

Just call me De-you.

We're fated to meet like this.

Now we're all friends.

There will be a banquet for film promotion

in the Juhua Grand Hotel.

Will President Ding and Little River God

do me the honor to attend it?

-Well...
-Yes.

Of course, we'll go.

Where are you guys planning to go?

Are you going to continue or not?

It's been a while

since I last saw him.

Why don't you go find him?

He's avoiding me.

Did he borrow money from you?

What did you just say?

He came to me today to borrow some money.

Are you kidding me?

Did he really borrow money from you?

Yes, today.

That's what I'm talking about!

It's so weird!

How is that weird?

Considering your relationship,

if De-you wants money,

he'll definitely find an excuse
to rip you off.

Naive as you are,

you may even thank him for that.

That's an insult.

If he borrows money from you,

that will be too weird.

It was so not him

to say no to a free meal.

You're right.

Today, the superstar, Mei-ren Wang,

invited him to a banquet.

He accepted without hesitation.

-A superstar?
-Yes.

He looked like he was enchanted.

Master Guo, you are here.

Master Guo.

I'd like to hear which news costs so much.

Come, hold a lamp for Master Guo.

Master Guo, this way.

So you're the fearless young man.

Let's skip the formalities
and just cut to the chase.

You know what I want to know.

Hua-qing Lian.

When we were young,

he disguised himself
and deceived me so much.

I truly believed he was one of us.

Was he a beggar?

He didn't have any family

and he was sick.

How could he live if he didn't beg?

I remember vividly
how strange that boy was

when I first saw him.

Then one day,

I saw a snake on the mountain.

It suddenly occurred to me

that it was his snake-like eyes.

He is a jinx.

His dad was said to be mentally ill

and was then murdered by Hua-qing Lian.

When did you last see him?

I don't remember.

It has been years.

Tell me more about the Ancient Evil Gang.

There's a secret
about the Ancient Evil Gang

that is unknown
even to the common followers.

What is it?

The Preacher.

The Preacher?

De-you.

Explain to me.

What's wrong with you lately?

You're happy and carefree.

Do you know somebody is worried about you?

Do you hear me?

We don't know how much he said.

But we're sure
that he couldn't talk anymore.

You were a bit slow.

But thank you.

Go ahead with your work.

Mom, I'm going out.

Stay here.

I want you to perform
a ritual with me later.

Can you perform it yourself?

I need to go to the Chamber of Commerce.

Hey.

You've been visiting
the Chamber of Commerce quite often.

Are you finally done
with the Dragon Temple?

It makes sense. De-you knows nothing.

He's only good
at catching turtles in the river.

He's penniless.

But look at President Ding.

Not only is he undeniably handsome,

he's trustworthy too.

Don't you have any feelings for him?

Money can't buy my love.

My heart is priceless.

Goodness, De-you.

What vile spell did you cast on her?

Sorceress.

That's not very pleasant to hear.

You know exactly how you treat her.

I should do more than just cursing you.

I deserve it.

Whatever that pleases you.

Why don't you give me a slap?

Say what you want,

or get lost!

I'm trying to find my master.

Yesterday, I went to the black market
to ask about a man.

My source died instantly
after he told me a clue.

-Died?
-Yes, right in front of me.

How did he die?

A rope like this

with a weight on it

hit him to death.

The Magic Rope?

Mao!

Why are you here again?

What do you want?

Are you sure De-you will go
to Mei-ren's banquet?

As you said,

he won't say no to a free meal.

Then, bring me there as well.

I'm not sure about that.

So is that a yes or no?

-Yes.
-For real?

Yes, no problem.

You're the best!

Young Master.

Ms. Xiao is here.

President Ding.

-Ms. Gu, what a coincidence!
-Yes.

I'm asking him to do me a favor.

Ms. Xiao.

Come this way, please.

How can I help you?

I heard the Chamber of Commerce
would sponsor Mei-ren Wang's new film.

I think it would be good news.

So I come here to get
the whole story from you.

Sponsor?

There must be a misunderstanding.

Misunderstanding?

I only agreed to let them film on my pier.

It's not a news.

It was merely a small favor.

Since you're here,

I need you to help me with something.

You are an expert about the tricks

of diviners, hawkers,
magicians and jugglers.

Can you tell me about it?

This is an exclusive
Zhuang Yuan Hong tea sample.

I get it from the cellar just for you.

It's not available on the market.

How thick was the rope?
And where did it come from?

From above.

But I didn't see anyone there.

The rope was about this thick.

There's a metal ball on top, I suppose.

I know it.

It's the Magic Rope of the Huang family.

But the apprentice cannot use it.

The present leader
of the Huang family is a young man.

His name is Yi-suo Huang, I believe.

It's done.

How do you feel?

A little awkward.

What you're wearing
is this year's fashion trend, jumpsuit.

How do I go to the toilet?

If you want to attend the banquet,
this is what you must wear.

Or you won't be allowed in.

Are you kidding me?

Look, this jumpsuit is too revealing.

Maybe you can put this coat on.

I'm too tired.

No, I'm not going to try it.

I'm exhausted.

Put on this hat.

It's a perfect match for your clothes.

Trust me.

What is the fishing net for?

The mesh is so tiny
even a small fry can't go through.

Anyone who doesn't know it

may think I'm wearing
a killing fishing net.

You know what?

When we were young,
De-you and I used to cast a killing net

under the bridge.

We would catch little shrimps and crabs.

Those were our childhood memories.

We grew up together.

But now he only cares about himself.

What's wrong with you two?

Does he refuse to see you?

He has been avoiding me.

I think you must have this experience.

When you were a kid,

your mom couldn't find you one day.

She was deeply worried

that you might be abducted
or fall into the river,

so she left no stone unturned
in searching for you.

But it turned out
that you just fell asleep somewhere.

How did you know that?

You care too much about him.

So you think he does it on purpose.

Men are like that.

The more you care about them,
the prouder they will feel.

They will think they are indispensable.

So women should be like water.

We must advance gradually

and take the initiative.

And remember,

don't rush it.

If you rush it,

you'll lose all control.

I'll buy you drink next time.

Hold it.

I don't have any liquor with me now.

This is not about the liquor.

Tell me.

Why are you avoiding my daughter?

I thought you would understand.

Make me understand.

The Ancient Evil Gang is very dangerous.

And my master is at stake.

It's a difficult situation.

I don't want to drag
anyone else into this problem.

Especially Ying.

HUANG MANSION

Western opera?

Or what they call film.

It's said to be a major production
and it's well-known all over the country.

There's a well-known actress
called Mei-ren Wang.

Since the film is about
a renowned Tientsin magician,

our master was invited
to be the technical advisor.

He is the only one invited in Tientsin.

The banquet is for the film promotion.

Master Huang will be performing,
so he left early this morning.

Come on.

Let's have a look over there.

Have something to eat.

Eat.

I won't.

I've been here before.

Expensive.

It's a banquet.

Guests don't pay.

Poor are those who take no benefit

and hungry are those
who don't eat free food.

Why did you bring her here?

-Well...
-I asked for it.

You shouldn't be here.

What the hell are you wearing?

What about you?

You wander around
in a green suit like a frog

and you think my outfit is bad.

Your suit looks familiar.

Because it's yours.

Why didn't you ask me?

Are you trying to charge me?

Do you want to charge me
for borrowing a suit?

All business people are profiteers.

By the way, speaking of money,

what did you do with the money
you borrowed from me?

De-you.

What have you been up to lately?

It's none of your business.

The Ancient Evil Gang is rampant.

Mao's wound hasn't healed completely.

And Master Guo is still missing.

Who else is going to take care of you?

Is there anywhere safe in Tientsin?

Fine, I'll leave you alone.

I don't care if you are dead or alive.

Ying.

It's late.

Will your mom cook dinner for you?

Are you going to starve yourself?

Can you fall asleep?

If you don't sleep well,
you'll look feeble and weary.

Your mom may think
that your soul is somewhere else.

And if that happens,
things will go awry and miserable.

She won't let you eat
or meet your friends.

You can yell at me and walk out.

You may feel good then,
but it's only for a while.

Because you'll be very miserable
in the next few days.

Do you think it's worth it?

I'm here today

to ask Yi-suo Huang about something.

It won't take long.

I'll walk you home after that.

We can go to Chen's restaurant
and have some mutton soup.

The mutton soup tastes best
when it's eaten in the morning.

It's too late.

Let's have stinky tofu
at Shibanpo instead.

Okay.

Here.

Right.

I see some acquaintances over there.

Welcome, Mr. Guo and President Ding.

Thank you for coming.
I didn't expect you could make it.

-Well...
-You invited us personally.

Of course, we would come.

You must be the daughter
of Secretary-General Xiao.

Nice to meet you, Ms. Wang.

I'm Lan-lan Xiao,
the journalist of Tientsin Daily.

Who is this?

She's Ying Gu.

She's an expert on Taoism.

Shanghai is in the south.

Tientsin is in the north.

Tientsin lies at the downstream
of numerous tributaries.

It has three pontoon bridges
and two strategic passes.

Outside the south gate is Haiguang Temple.

And outside the north gate is Beida Pass.

Inside the south gate
is the Military Training Ground.

And in the middle
is the fort of the Drum Tower.

There are three buttresses
and four cannons.

The yellow brand tramway
goes to the customs.

I never dreamed that I could recite it.

I even have a cheat sheet with me.

Thank you all for coming

to the launching banquet
of our film, A River Love Story.

Your presence today
is the greatest support for our film.

I suppose all of you
must have seen magic shows before.

Magic is a western concept
originated from ancient Egypt.

It is popular all over the world.

But we also have traditional tricks

called the ancient magic trick.

There are all kinds of tricks.

In the addition to the western magic,

more skills are required including qigong,
acrobatics, contortion and others.

Let's welcome the real magic master.

The top trick performer in Tientsin,

Yi-suo Huang, Master Huang.

Our film, A River Love Story,

tells a story where a simple boy born
by the Haihe River strives

to become a magic master in Tientsin.

He works his way through heavy training
and great supports following the steps.

We're honored to have Master Huang
as our technical advisor.

Without his help,

the film would have been subpar
and received harsh criticisms.

Without further ado,
let's welcome Master Huang

to bring us a wonderful magic show.

Sir, please check it for me.
And make it tighter.

I know it.

It's the Magic Rope of the Huang family.

It's tight already.

Thank you.

Do you like pork shank?

If you are forced to eat it
for your every meal,

would you still like it?

-That will be too salty.
-Right!

No matter how delicious a dish is,

if you're made to eat it every day,
you will find it salty and greasy.

Right?

It is the same with men.

You should tantalize them
when they want you.

And that will make them want you more.

Do you understand?

The Chamber of Commerce
seems to have recovered

after the incident.

Creatures are made

to have senses, actions

and reasons.

Who goes up
and who goes down is predestined.

And it always changes.

The Chamber of Commerce didn't go down,

so I'll leave it to its fate for now.

We are heading toward different paths.

Once we succeed,

they will soon be devoured.

I hope that the only thing
you would devour

is the Chamber of Commerce,
and nothing else.

I'll try.
