Tears on Fire (2021): Season 1, Episode 7 - Storm - full transcript
Dispatch Records
Is anyone there?
Why didn't you tell us you were here?
You were the one who brought me here.
How could you not know?
-Yi-yang.
-You scum!
My grandpa just got stung by a bee.
He suffered an OHCA. Hurry!
...the firefighters who refused
to remove the beehive that day.
Where's your conscience?
Can you sleep at night?
Just quit. Find a new job.
I'm concerned about you.
Why are you angry?
I'm fine now.
You've been acting strange lately.
And you haven't been returning my calls.
I guess I've been too busy.
Little boy. Can you give me your hand?
Is anyone there?
Is anyone out there?
OHCA!
I should've brought them both out
at the same time.
Chia-hsuan, what are you doing?
Go!
But we were told to stop at red lights.
Keep driving!
Did you say something wrong
that made her suddenly decide to jump?
Shut your mouth!
This is a work of fiction.
Any resemblance is purely coincidental.
Hurry and wake up.
Don't die.
Wake up.
Have you ever had regrets in your life?
Thank you for talking to me for so long.
Hao-yuan...
It's time to get down.
No!
Chih-yuan.
What are you doing?
How long have you been
stealing medication?
I'm not.
I just haven't been sleeping well.
I thought they'd help.
Just when I was about to take them,
you caught me.
Really?
We've known each other for so long.
If something is wrong with you
and you don't want to tell anyone,
I can understand.
But you should at least tell me.
It's nothing.
I think I'm just too stressed from work.
When I was an intern, one of our seniors
was also under so much stress
that his hands kept shaking.
Everyone urged him to see a doctor.
The doctor said
it was a generalized anxiety disorder.
He gave him anti-anxiety medication
and he got better over time.
Is that so?
That's right.
But later, he got into a fender bender
while driving the fire truck.
He had to pay a lot of money,
so his hands started shaking again.
He was so unlucky.
Chih-yuan.
Back when we were in school,
I told you everything.
You knew my family was struggling.
You even took me
to eat chicken cutlet rice and pasta.
I'm very grateful.
You're in trouble now.
You should tell me.
I'll help you.
There are new developments
with the bee sting death in Dayuan
that caused a sensation.
The fire chief
of the Dayuan Fire Department
Yang Cheng-pin who raised
a lot of controversy
got the mayor's permission
to resign this morning.
Because this matter kept getting worse,
Yang Cheng-pin decided to step down.
Subsequently, the mayor,
whose popularity also plummeted
due to this incident,
announced that the academic,
Han Ta-hsin, would take over.
Regarding Mr. Sun's death,
we're very sorry.
The Dayuan Municipal Government
is unified.
The welfare of the people
should always come first.
There should be no difference
between departments.
I'll visit the victim's family personally
to show our sincerity.
We are civil servants,
so we should always aim
to serve the people.
If the citizens of Dayuan need it,
we'll catch bees and snakes for everyone.
Fire Chief Han, are you saying
that the former fire chief
Chief Yang's actions were wrong?
Of course not.
I think
we need to strengthen
our coordination
and communication in the future.
Let us introduce you to Han Ta-hsin.
Previously, he was working in a college.
Regarding this incident, he expressed...
Look at the way this new fire chief talks.
He clearly won't help
lower-rank employees.
What the heck?
They replaced Fire Chief Yang.
It really hurt
when I got stung by a bee last time.
I really thought I wouldn't have
to catch bees anymore.
Let's not watch this. His face annoys me.
I'm ordering a drink.
Does anyone want one?
-I'll have one.
-I do!
-Thank you, Yi-yang.
-Thank you.
If you want to order a drink,
tell Hsiao-kao.
-I want passion fruit green tea.
-It's on Hsiao-kao?
Thank you, Hsiao-kao.
-I want bubble tea.
-Okay, hold on.
Take it slowly.
-What do you want?
-A drink.
Fresh milk with pearls.
Self-Reflection Report
on Bee Sting Incident
Grade Three Special Examination
Exam Guidelines
Here's your drink.
It's honey lemon tea.
I didn't order any drinks.
Some idiot ordered an extra one.
What are you doing?
Are you writing a self-reflection report
on the bee sting incident?
Let me tell you. I'm an expert
on writing self-reflection reports.
I'll do it.
"Bees are very important to humans."
I'm serious. You have to believe
in my professionalism.
I'm telling you.
No one else in our branch
writes better reports than I do.
"If there were no bees,
we wouldn't be able
to drink honey lemon tea.
There are many suffering in this world.
In our short lives,
how many times will we see autumn?
How many times?
I've always had a soft spot
for beekeepers."
Write it like this.
Drink it.
Take it easy.
I'll write it for you. That's it.
You've done so many tests,
but you still can't find the cause, right?
Since when did you start
having nightmares and trembling hands?
Well...
In the last fire,
there was a kid I couldn't save.
You couldn't save the kid.
How does that make you feel?
How else could I feel?
That's just what happened.
Other than having nightmares
and your hands shaking,
is there anything else bothering you?
Mr. Chang.
Mr. Chang.
Mr. Chang.
What's wrong?
It's nothing.
I'll prescribe you some medicine.
I'll also arrange for you
to talk to a therapist.
Doctor.
I think I'm just stressed out from work.
Just prescribe Paroxetine for me.
I don't need a therapist.
These symptoms you're having
actually reflect
your psychological condition.
In your case, we suggest
that you start by treating
your psychological issues.
Hao-yuan...
Tong'an 91!
Calling from Control.
This is Tong'an 91.
There are actually two wounded women
in the fight on Dahe Road.
They both have obvious external injuries.
Please treat them first.
We'll send Tianxin 91 for backup.
Tong'an 91 copies.
These middle-aged ladies
sure know how to fight.
We even need backup.
That's scary.
Focus on driving.
Dayuan Fire Department Ambulance
-The ambulance is here.
-The paramedics are here.
Please move aside. Thank you.
What happened?
She's ridiculous.
-Excuse me.
-Mom?
Why is it you?
-Be gentle.
-She's your mom?
What's wrong with your mom?
I was eating with my mom here,
but she suddenly
threw vegetables at my mom.
She even scratched her face up like this.
Miss, let us handle this.
Mom, is that so?
Ma'am, besides your face,
are you feeling unwell anywhere?
-My face hurts a lot. She scratched me.
-Dad, why weren't you picking up?
-Did you hit your head?
-No.
-What about your body?
-No.
A crazy lady scratched Mom's face.
Hurry over here.
We're at a noodle stall.
Are you all right?
Look. She scratched my face like this.
Dad, it's that crazy wench.
She randomly hit Mom.
Ching-hua?
How old are you?
Don't you know how old she is?
I can't believe I ran into you
in a situation like this.
Did you raise her alone?
Or do you have a family now?
Actually,
I've been looking for you.
Why were you looking for us?
Do you want to marry me?
I should have
taken responsibility back then.
I want to adopt her.
-Hsin-yu thinks the same way.
-Stop it.
Don't even mention that woman's name.
You were dating me.
Why did you hit on my classmate?
I can't believe it.
My classmate hooked up with my boyfriend.
As for you,
I had no idea you were that irresponsible!
We never dated.
How could I be your boyfriend?
We never dated?
We never dated?
Then how did I get pregnant?
You clearly...
-Ching-hua.
-Don't touch me.
You clearly know
we had too many drinks that night.
So...
-And you're the one who initiated it.
-What the heck did you say?
What do you mean I initiated it?
Taiwan is such a small place.
I never changed my name.
Over the past 20 years,
you said you looked for us,
but you couldn't find us.
You said you wanted
to take responsibility.
Who in their right mind would believe you?
I've really been looking for you.
Right.
Didn't you go to work
on some deserted island?
Why did you suddenly come back?
You're here for that class reunion.
I'll be attending too.
How wonderful.
I can see classmates
whom I haven't seen in over 20 years.
I can remind everyone
what nice things you did back then.
I'm sure
we'll all be so happy to see each other.
Ching-hua.
Tzu-ling.
We...
Tzu-ling.
Lin Yi-yang: Are you okay?
Do you need help?
What time is it? Aren't you going to eat?
Do you still need me
to call you out for dinner?
Fine.
You don't want to eat?
I won't eat either.
Let's starve to death together.
Don't you want to talk about it?
What's with you?
Do you want to settle the score with me?
Why did you lie to me?
Why did you say that person didn't want us
because I'm a girl?
It was for your own good.
Then what about
my outstanding little brother
who studied at an Ivy League school
and works as a pilot?
You always compared me to him.
Was that all for my own good too?
If I didn't say that,
would you be motivated?
-Would you have worked hard?
-You just didn't want to face the truth.
You told so many lies
so you could lie to yourself.
That person never even liked you.
It has nothing to do
with whether I'm a boy or girl.
Your dad just said whatever sounded good.
He doesn't want you.
I raised you all by myself.
Do you know how many people
looked down on me?
Do you know how much I suffered?
Yes, I'm stupid.
I should've aborted you back then!
I shouldn't have given birth to you!
Otherwise, I wouldn't be living like this.
Have you ever thought about me?
Don't you think you're being selfish
by saying these things?
You said I'm selfish?
Because of you,
my life, my youth, my career,
and everything related
to a good family life
are all gone.
Isn't it because of you?
Who's the selfish one? Tell me.
You're the most selfish one.
Chih-yuan.
Why are you so quiet these days?
I've always been quiet.
You? Quiet?
All right.
Actually, Antelope told me
that you haven't been
sleeping well lately.
Gosh, he has such a big mouth.
Let me ask you.
Can you get me some medicine?
Something like Paroxetine.
Why do you need anti-anxiety medication?
What's wrong?
Have they returned the vacuum splints yet?
I think they're still inside.
Can you take a look?
Sure.
Thank you.
So? Can you do it?
Why don't you see a doctor
to get the medicine?
I've seen one.
He told me to see a therapist.
A therapist?
That's right. I told him
that I'm just stressed from work.
I don't need a therapist.
I'll be fine after taking some medicine.
Can you do it?
I'm not doing anything harmful.
It's not like I'm going to sell it.
Just help me out.
Okay, I'll think about it.
I'm getting in the car.
Do you want to come?
Okay.
Let me remind you one last time.
We talked about this earlier.
If we encounter a fire alarm
and notice smoke outside the door,
what should we do?
-Close the door.
-Close the door.
Yes, close the door and wait for help.
We just handed out
a family first-aid handbook.
Go home and read it carefully.
That way, when an accident happens,
you'll know what to do.
Does anyone have any questions?
Miss.
He has a question.
Shut up.
Miss, he wants to ask
for your Instagram handle.
Don't ask silly questions.
Sir.
Are you her boyfriend?
Guys, these aren't appropriate questions.
Does anyone have real questions?
Wait, miss. Look at him.
Miss, my stomach hurts.
Where does your stomach hurt? Here?
No, slightly higher.
Here?
Where does it hurt?
Where does your stomach hurt?
My heart is broken, miss.
Miss, my heart is broken too. Quick.
Do you think lying is funny?
Do you think lying is funny?
Do you guys think this is funny?
Was I too harsh
that I scared the kids just now?
No.
It's a good thing.
Those darn brats.
If you didn't scold them,
I would've scolded them until they cried.
When I think about how everything
my mom said was a lie,
I can't accept it.
Speaking of lies,
I remembered something embarrassing
when I was young.
My family was very poor when I was young.
One day, the teacher said,
"Bring a rag to school.
We're going to wax the school floor."
So I told my mom.
The next day, my mom said,
"The rag is in your school bag."
I said, "Okay."
When I got to school and opened my bag,
I took out the rag and unfolded it.
It was the shape of a funnel.
Suddenly, a classmate shouted,
"Lin Yi-yang, why did you bring
a girl's underwear to school?"
I said, "This isn't underwear."
"It is! It's a pair of cut-up underwear!"
I was so angry. I put it away
and ran over to beat him up.
I totally wanted to die on the spot.
When I got home, I scolded my mom.
"Why did you lie to me?"
I was so angry
that I didn't talk to her for two weeks.
But now that I've grown up,
I feel that maybe
my mom might've had
some difficulties back then.
We might've been so poor
that she couldn't even buy a rag.
It was really embarrassing.
The underwear was yellow too.
I folded it up and waxed the floor with it
while I complained to myself.
I'm home.
Mom.
Mom, you have a fever.
Mom.
Mom.
Are you feeling better?
It's just a cold.
It's not that serious.
Why did you drag me to the doctor?
It's the flu.
It's not a cold.
How many days did you drag this on?
Do you know if you let the flu drag on,
you could die?
Sit up.
I made your favorite fish soup.
Drink this and take your medicine.
You have to take
your flu medication on time.
Did you make this?
Who else?
Did you add salt and ginger?
You didn't add them?
I didn't.
So you really didn't know
you needed to add ginger in fish soup?
I just never wanted to learn
the things that girls should learn.
Is it because of that amazing brother
who lives in the US?
Yes.
Ever since I was a kid,
I've been telling myself
that I can't lose to men,
especially that younger brother of mine.
I can't believe that little brother
actually doesn't exist.
I feel like I've lost my goal in life.
Then you can start with making fish soup.
You're so annoying.
So is that also why
you're not taking the officer exam?
I saw your application
and book in the trash.
I see.
Even the fire chief
can be replaced easily.
What's the point of being an officer?
It won't change our budget
and equipment situation anyway.
But I think you might actually
be able to make some changes.
For example?
Well, you're smart.
You can deal with anything calmly,
unlike me.
All I do is get angry.
So you finally know
how often you get angry.
What I'm saying is
whenever you want to do something,
you can always come up with a solution.
Why don't I join the legislative council
and fight for the fire department budget?
Or should I go on a protest
to push for an act
to reform the fire department?
I should be an influencer.
That way, I can raise money for us.
Then, we'll have new turnout gear to wear.
Yes. See?
You came up with so many ideas at once.
You're not any weaker than a man.
Unlike me.
I don't even dare to confess
to the girl I like.
Really?
I'm too scared to do it.
I don't have the guts.
You're always so fierce.
You're always picking a fight
with Chief Wu
or challenging a councilor.
Do you call that a coward?
That's different.
I texted you to check up on you,
but you didn't reply,
so I didn't dare to send you
another message.
You hold grudges for a long time.
Okay, I'll reply to you now.
Let's be together!
My heart is beating so fast.
Will I suffer from an OHCA?
It's okay. You're a tactical paramedic.
Do you need CPR?
The man awaiting rescue,
Mr. Chia, is 38 years old.
He got separated from fellow hikers.
From what we know,
he is wearing a blue-grey jacket,
green hiking pants, and a black backpack.
These are pictures of the man
that his family provided.
Here's a reminder.
Although the elevation of the search area
is only 600 m to 1,000 m,
the distance we're searching is quite far.
Also, the elevation
of the terrain changes drastically
and the vegetation is dense.
So please be careful.
We'll start at the coordinates
where Mr. Chia's phone signal cut off.
We'll split up into three groups
and search carefully.
Team One will search
in the east of the signal.
Team Two will search in the west.
Team Three will search in the south.
Lastly,
if anyone finds Mr. Chia,
please call for backup immediately.
Han-cheng.
Your branch sent you here today?
That's right. I happened to be
in the rescue team today.
Ta-hu.
How is your factory doing?
We've been busy.
But I still can't neglect
my volunteer duties.
What about you?
How are Hsiao-ying and your kids?
They're the same as usual.
Attention, all teams.
Team One will go to the left with me.
Team Two will go forward.
Team Three will go to the right.
If there are no problems, let's start.
-Okay.
-Okay.
Mom, I want to go out to play!
You can't go out with a cold.
Why aren't you wearing a mask?
It's uncomfortable.
You need to wear a mask.
You might pass it on to your brother.
Put it on.
I don't want to.
It's uncomfortable.
Put it on!
-It's uncomfortable.
-I told you to put it on!
I want Dad!
Dad always takes me out!
I want Dad!
Hello.
I didn't hear my phone ring.
The reception in the mountains is bad.
I'm sorry.
I didn't know you called so many times.
I told you.
The reception in the mountains is bad.
I didn't do it on purpose.
Put Chi-chi on the phone.
I'll talk to her.
Hello, Chi-chi.
Why did you make your mom angry?
You can't go out when you're sick.
Didn't I tell you?
I'm sorry, everyone.
Firefighters have high-risk occupations,
so they only get Tier 6 insurance
which is more expensive
and there's an insurance limit too.
You can look at this information.
Because the fire department
now has subsidies,
our company came up with this group plan.
-Take a look.
-We need one more.
One?
-You two work here, right?
-Yes.
-Take a look.
-Thank you.
Thank you.
What's going on with you and Tzu-ling?
What do you mean?
Come on.
You guys went out on your day off.
You guys are together, aren't you?
No, don't spout nonsense.
Everyone.
Let's congratulate Lin Yi-yang
from our Tong'an branch.
He successfully stole the heart
of our Tong'an heroine,
Tzu-ling!
What the heck?
Don't talk nonsense.
Why are you standing up? Sit down!
-Kiss!
-Kiss!
So what if we're together?
Stop laughing.
The knot exam is tomorrow.
Have you learned it yet?
Have you learned it?
Have you learned it?
Have you?
Sit down.
Sit down.
Congratulations, Yi-yang.
Excuse me.
Some of our colleagues didn't come today.
Can you give us a few more copies?
Okay, no problem.
Now, I'll give you all some paper.
Please write some words down
to someone important to you.
If something happens to you,
we'll give it to them.
Basically, we're writing our last words.
Well...
You can actually write to anyone you want.
Then I'll write to Chang Chih-yuan.
I'll tell him to give the money
for the drinks he owes me to my wife.
Otherwise, he won't ever pay me back.
In moments like this,
you're still concerned about a few drinks.
I'm just that petty.
If you have any questions,
you can ask me.
Hey!
Mr. Chia!
Mr. Chia!
Mr. Chia!
Mr. Chia!
Hey!
Mr. Chia!
Hey! Is it Mr. Chia?
I'm over here!
Don't worry. We found you.
Stay where you are.
We're coming to rescue you.
Team One to incident command center.
The missing Mr. Chia has been found.
The coordinates are
24 degrees, 51.11 minutes north
and 121 degrees, 23.36 minutes east.
After we've found an open area,
we'll report the new coordinates
so a helicopter can come for rescue.
Mr. Chia.
Are you okay?
I'm here.
Don't worry. We'll save you.
Don't worry.
We'll check your wounds first.
My left leg hurts. I can't walk.
Okay.
Are you out of breath?
I'm okay.
Do you feel anything?
Do you?
Does my wife know you've found me?
Don't worry.
She's at the command center.
That's good.
Mr. Chia, you have a bone fracture.
I need to hold it in place for you,
so it might hurt a little.
You have to bear with it.
Okay.
I'm raising your leg.
That hurts.
Okay. Hang in there.
Hold on.
Okay. Come on.
One, two, three.
Stop.
-Are you ready?
-Okay.
-All right. One, two, three.
-One, two, three.
-Okay, stop.
-Be careful.
Okay. Come on.
-One, two, three.
-One, two, three.
Come on.
-One, two, three.
-One, two, three.
Hold on...
Team One is calling the command center.
The dense canopy prevents
helicopter rope suspension.
Preparing for manual extraction.
Attention, team.
It's getting dark.
We can't go down the mountain tonight.
Let's set up camp here.
My goodness!
Come here quickly.
Why is it raining so hard?
Why is it raining so much?
What are you doing?
Here's my raincoat.
Do you only have one?
That's right.
You can wear it.
You should wear it.
You wear it.
I'll put on my hood.
You wear it. It's yours.
Let's wear it together.
How do we do that?
You can lean on my shoulder.
I can't reach it.
This will work.
Do you think you're tall?
A little taller than you.
I don't want to take medicine!
Why won't you listen?
-You need to take medicine to get better.
-I want Dad!
I want Dad!
Okay, let's call him.
Your call has been forwarded
to an automatic voice message system.
Your dad isn't here.
Take your medicine first, okay?
Dad!
Honey
No network available
Is my husband okay?
Mrs. Chia, come here. Let me explain.
Your husband's condition
isn't too serious.
He has hypothermia
and a left leg fracture.
But don't worry.
We'll get him treated right away.
-It's okay. Leave it to us.
-Okay, thank you.
Thank you for your help. Thank you.
Thank you.
Honey.
Honey, are you okay? Honey.
What's going on?
Why is it such a mess in here?
Why is it such a mess?
Do you know our baby went
to the ER with a fever yesterday?
Do you know
that Chi-chi cried the whole night?
I have to handle everything by myself!
Take care
of the family yourself if you can!
You do it!
-I'm moving back to my mom's place.
-Why?
Is there a need to discuss this?
Would you listen?
Your job is more important anyway.
He did this to me.
I was at the television station yesterday.
My friend asked me how I got hurt.
Mr. Pai, how do you want me to answer?
If you think I don't support you enough
as your chief,
you can transfer to another branch.
Pick one that you like. I'll help you.
-I'm begging you.
-Listen to me for once.
-Let go of me.
-Listen to me just this once, okay?
Let go of me!
Be careful when you go in.
The layout is complicated
and the equipment is faulty.
It's fine. See you later.
-You have a quint. Why don't you use it?
-Yes, chief. Why not?
Hsiao-kao has been burned.
We're retreating now.
I forgot to check the air tank.
Yi-yang!
Yi-yang!
We're on the Bravo side now!
Thick smoke on second and third floors.
The fire must be intense.
We're still searching for the fire source.

Translated by Chloe Chow
Is anyone there?
Why didn't you tell us you were here?
You were the one who brought me here.
How could you not know?
-Yi-yang.
-You scum!
My grandpa just got stung by a bee.
He suffered an OHCA. Hurry!
...the firefighters who refused
to remove the beehive that day.
Where's your conscience?
Can you sleep at night?
Just quit. Find a new job.
I'm concerned about you.
Why are you angry?
I'm fine now.
You've been acting strange lately.
And you haven't been returning my calls.
I guess I've been too busy.
Little boy. Can you give me your hand?
Is anyone there?
Is anyone out there?
OHCA!
I should've brought them both out
at the same time.
Chia-hsuan, what are you doing?
Go!
But we were told to stop at red lights.
Keep driving!
Did you say something wrong
that made her suddenly decide to jump?
Shut your mouth!
This is a work of fiction.
Any resemblance is purely coincidental.
Hurry and wake up.
Don't die.
Wake up.
Have you ever had regrets in your life?
Thank you for talking to me for so long.
Hao-yuan...
It's time to get down.
No!
Chih-yuan.
What are you doing?
How long have you been
stealing medication?
I'm not.
I just haven't been sleeping well.
I thought they'd help.
Just when I was about to take them,
you caught me.
Really?
We've known each other for so long.
If something is wrong with you
and you don't want to tell anyone,
I can understand.
But you should at least tell me.
It's nothing.
I think I'm just too stressed from work.
When I was an intern, one of our seniors
was also under so much stress
that his hands kept shaking.
Everyone urged him to see a doctor.
The doctor said
it was a generalized anxiety disorder.
He gave him anti-anxiety medication
and he got better over time.
Is that so?
That's right.
But later, he got into a fender bender
while driving the fire truck.
He had to pay a lot of money,
so his hands started shaking again.
He was so unlucky.
Chih-yuan.
Back when we were in school,
I told you everything.
You knew my family was struggling.
You even took me
to eat chicken cutlet rice and pasta.
I'm very grateful.
You're in trouble now.
You should tell me.
I'll help you.
There are new developments
with the bee sting death in Dayuan
that caused a sensation.
The fire chief
of the Dayuan Fire Department
Yang Cheng-pin who raised
a lot of controversy
got the mayor's permission
to resign this morning.
Because this matter kept getting worse,
Yang Cheng-pin decided to step down.
Subsequently, the mayor,
whose popularity also plummeted
due to this incident,
announced that the academic,
Han Ta-hsin, would take over.
Regarding Mr. Sun's death,
we're very sorry.
The Dayuan Municipal Government
is unified.
The welfare of the people
should always come first.
There should be no difference
between departments.
I'll visit the victim's family personally
to show our sincerity.
We are civil servants,
so we should always aim
to serve the people.
If the citizens of Dayuan need it,
we'll catch bees and snakes for everyone.
Fire Chief Han, are you saying
that the former fire chief
Chief Yang's actions were wrong?
Of course not.
I think
we need to strengthen
our coordination
and communication in the future.
Let us introduce you to Han Ta-hsin.
Previously, he was working in a college.
Regarding this incident, he expressed...
Look at the way this new fire chief talks.
He clearly won't help
lower-rank employees.
What the heck?
They replaced Fire Chief Yang.
It really hurt
when I got stung by a bee last time.
I really thought I wouldn't have
to catch bees anymore.
Let's not watch this. His face annoys me.
I'm ordering a drink.
Does anyone want one?
-I'll have one.
-I do!
-Thank you, Yi-yang.
-Thank you.
If you want to order a drink,
tell Hsiao-kao.
-I want passion fruit green tea.
-It's on Hsiao-kao?
Thank you, Hsiao-kao.
-I want bubble tea.
-Okay, hold on.
Take it slowly.
-What do you want?
-A drink.
Fresh milk with pearls.
Self-Reflection Report
on Bee Sting Incident
Grade Three Special Examination
Exam Guidelines
Here's your drink.
It's honey lemon tea.
I didn't order any drinks.
Some idiot ordered an extra one.
What are you doing?
Are you writing a self-reflection report
on the bee sting incident?
Let me tell you. I'm an expert
on writing self-reflection reports.
I'll do it.
"Bees are very important to humans."
I'm serious. You have to believe
in my professionalism.
I'm telling you.
No one else in our branch
writes better reports than I do.
"If there were no bees,
we wouldn't be able
to drink honey lemon tea.
There are many suffering in this world.
In our short lives,
how many times will we see autumn?
How many times?
I've always had a soft spot
for beekeepers."
Write it like this.
Drink it.
Take it easy.
I'll write it for you. That's it.
You've done so many tests,
but you still can't find the cause, right?
Since when did you start
having nightmares and trembling hands?
Well...
In the last fire,
there was a kid I couldn't save.
You couldn't save the kid.
How does that make you feel?
How else could I feel?
That's just what happened.
Other than having nightmares
and your hands shaking,
is there anything else bothering you?
Mr. Chang.
Mr. Chang.
Mr. Chang.
What's wrong?
It's nothing.
I'll prescribe you some medicine.
I'll also arrange for you
to talk to a therapist.
Doctor.
I think I'm just stressed out from work.
Just prescribe Paroxetine for me.
I don't need a therapist.
These symptoms you're having
actually reflect
your psychological condition.
In your case, we suggest
that you start by treating
your psychological issues.
Hao-yuan...
Tong'an 91!
Calling from Control.
This is Tong'an 91.
There are actually two wounded women
in the fight on Dahe Road.
They both have obvious external injuries.
Please treat them first.
We'll send Tianxin 91 for backup.
Tong'an 91 copies.
These middle-aged ladies
sure know how to fight.
We even need backup.
That's scary.
Focus on driving.
Dayuan Fire Department Ambulance
-The ambulance is here.
-The paramedics are here.
Please move aside. Thank you.
What happened?
She's ridiculous.
-Excuse me.
-Mom?
Why is it you?
-Be gentle.
-She's your mom?
What's wrong with your mom?
I was eating with my mom here,
but she suddenly
threw vegetables at my mom.
She even scratched her face up like this.
Miss, let us handle this.
Mom, is that so?
Ma'am, besides your face,
are you feeling unwell anywhere?
-My face hurts a lot. She scratched me.
-Dad, why weren't you picking up?
-Did you hit your head?
-No.
-What about your body?
-No.
A crazy lady scratched Mom's face.
Hurry over here.
We're at a noodle stall.
Are you all right?
Look. She scratched my face like this.
Dad, it's that crazy wench.
She randomly hit Mom.
Ching-hua?
How old are you?
Don't you know how old she is?
I can't believe I ran into you
in a situation like this.
Did you raise her alone?
Or do you have a family now?
Actually,
I've been looking for you.
Why were you looking for us?
Do you want to marry me?
I should have
taken responsibility back then.
I want to adopt her.
-Hsin-yu thinks the same way.
-Stop it.
Don't even mention that woman's name.
You were dating me.
Why did you hit on my classmate?
I can't believe it.
My classmate hooked up with my boyfriend.
As for you,
I had no idea you were that irresponsible!
We never dated.
How could I be your boyfriend?
We never dated?
We never dated?
Then how did I get pregnant?
You clearly...
-Ching-hua.
-Don't touch me.
You clearly know
we had too many drinks that night.
So...
-And you're the one who initiated it.
-What the heck did you say?
What do you mean I initiated it?
Taiwan is such a small place.
I never changed my name.
Over the past 20 years,
you said you looked for us,
but you couldn't find us.
You said you wanted
to take responsibility.
Who in their right mind would believe you?
I've really been looking for you.
Right.
Didn't you go to work
on some deserted island?
Why did you suddenly come back?
You're here for that class reunion.
I'll be attending too.
How wonderful.
I can see classmates
whom I haven't seen in over 20 years.
I can remind everyone
what nice things you did back then.
I'm sure
we'll all be so happy to see each other.
Ching-hua.
Tzu-ling.
We...
Tzu-ling.
Lin Yi-yang: Are you okay?
Do you need help?
What time is it? Aren't you going to eat?
Do you still need me
to call you out for dinner?
Fine.
You don't want to eat?
I won't eat either.
Let's starve to death together.
Don't you want to talk about it?
What's with you?
Do you want to settle the score with me?
Why did you lie to me?
Why did you say that person didn't want us
because I'm a girl?
It was for your own good.
Then what about
my outstanding little brother
who studied at an Ivy League school
and works as a pilot?
You always compared me to him.
Was that all for my own good too?
If I didn't say that,
would you be motivated?
-Would you have worked hard?
-You just didn't want to face the truth.
You told so many lies
so you could lie to yourself.
That person never even liked you.
It has nothing to do
with whether I'm a boy or girl.
Your dad just said whatever sounded good.
He doesn't want you.
I raised you all by myself.
Do you know how many people
looked down on me?
Do you know how much I suffered?
Yes, I'm stupid.
I should've aborted you back then!
I shouldn't have given birth to you!
Otherwise, I wouldn't be living like this.
Have you ever thought about me?
Don't you think you're being selfish
by saying these things?
You said I'm selfish?
Because of you,
my life, my youth, my career,
and everything related
to a good family life
are all gone.
Isn't it because of you?
Who's the selfish one? Tell me.
You're the most selfish one.
Chih-yuan.
Why are you so quiet these days?
I've always been quiet.
You? Quiet?
All right.
Actually, Antelope told me
that you haven't been
sleeping well lately.
Gosh, he has such a big mouth.
Let me ask you.
Can you get me some medicine?
Something like Paroxetine.
Why do you need anti-anxiety medication?
What's wrong?
Have they returned the vacuum splints yet?
I think they're still inside.
Can you take a look?
Sure.
Thank you.
So? Can you do it?
Why don't you see a doctor
to get the medicine?
I've seen one.
He told me to see a therapist.
A therapist?
That's right. I told him
that I'm just stressed from work.
I don't need a therapist.
I'll be fine after taking some medicine.
Can you do it?
I'm not doing anything harmful.
It's not like I'm going to sell it.
Just help me out.
Okay, I'll think about it.
I'm getting in the car.
Do you want to come?
Okay.
Let me remind you one last time.
We talked about this earlier.
If we encounter a fire alarm
and notice smoke outside the door,
what should we do?
-Close the door.
-Close the door.
Yes, close the door and wait for help.
We just handed out
a family first-aid handbook.
Go home and read it carefully.
That way, when an accident happens,
you'll know what to do.
Does anyone have any questions?
Miss.
He has a question.
Shut up.
Miss, he wants to ask
for your Instagram handle.
Don't ask silly questions.
Sir.
Are you her boyfriend?
Guys, these aren't appropriate questions.
Does anyone have real questions?
Wait, miss. Look at him.
Miss, my stomach hurts.
Where does your stomach hurt? Here?
No, slightly higher.
Here?
Where does it hurt?
Where does your stomach hurt?
My heart is broken, miss.
Miss, my heart is broken too. Quick.
Do you think lying is funny?
Do you think lying is funny?
Do you guys think this is funny?
Was I too harsh
that I scared the kids just now?
No.
It's a good thing.
Those darn brats.
If you didn't scold them,
I would've scolded them until they cried.
When I think about how everything
my mom said was a lie,
I can't accept it.
Speaking of lies,
I remembered something embarrassing
when I was young.
My family was very poor when I was young.
One day, the teacher said,
"Bring a rag to school.
We're going to wax the school floor."
So I told my mom.
The next day, my mom said,
"The rag is in your school bag."
I said, "Okay."
When I got to school and opened my bag,
I took out the rag and unfolded it.
It was the shape of a funnel.
Suddenly, a classmate shouted,
"Lin Yi-yang, why did you bring
a girl's underwear to school?"
I said, "This isn't underwear."
"It is! It's a pair of cut-up underwear!"
I was so angry. I put it away
and ran over to beat him up.
I totally wanted to die on the spot.
When I got home, I scolded my mom.
"Why did you lie to me?"
I was so angry
that I didn't talk to her for two weeks.
But now that I've grown up,
I feel that maybe
my mom might've had
some difficulties back then.
We might've been so poor
that she couldn't even buy a rag.
It was really embarrassing.
The underwear was yellow too.
I folded it up and waxed the floor with it
while I complained to myself.
I'm home.
Mom.
Mom, you have a fever.
Mom.
Mom.
Are you feeling better?
It's just a cold.
It's not that serious.
Why did you drag me to the doctor?
It's the flu.
It's not a cold.
How many days did you drag this on?
Do you know if you let the flu drag on,
you could die?
Sit up.
I made your favorite fish soup.
Drink this and take your medicine.
You have to take
your flu medication on time.
Did you make this?
Who else?
Did you add salt and ginger?
You didn't add them?
I didn't.
So you really didn't know
you needed to add ginger in fish soup?
I just never wanted to learn
the things that girls should learn.
Is it because of that amazing brother
who lives in the US?
Yes.
Ever since I was a kid,
I've been telling myself
that I can't lose to men,
especially that younger brother of mine.
I can't believe that little brother
actually doesn't exist.
I feel like I've lost my goal in life.
Then you can start with making fish soup.
You're so annoying.
So is that also why
you're not taking the officer exam?
I saw your application
and book in the trash.
I see.
Even the fire chief
can be replaced easily.
What's the point of being an officer?
It won't change our budget
and equipment situation anyway.
But I think you might actually
be able to make some changes.
For example?
Well, you're smart.
You can deal with anything calmly,
unlike me.
All I do is get angry.
So you finally know
how often you get angry.
What I'm saying is
whenever you want to do something,
you can always come up with a solution.
Why don't I join the legislative council
and fight for the fire department budget?
Or should I go on a protest
to push for an act
to reform the fire department?
I should be an influencer.
That way, I can raise money for us.
Then, we'll have new turnout gear to wear.
Yes. See?
You came up with so many ideas at once.
You're not any weaker than a man.
Unlike me.
I don't even dare to confess
to the girl I like.
Really?
I'm too scared to do it.
I don't have the guts.
You're always so fierce.
You're always picking a fight
with Chief Wu
or challenging a councilor.
Do you call that a coward?
That's different.
I texted you to check up on you,
but you didn't reply,
so I didn't dare to send you
another message.
You hold grudges for a long time.
Okay, I'll reply to you now.
Let's be together!
My heart is beating so fast.
Will I suffer from an OHCA?
It's okay. You're a tactical paramedic.
Do you need CPR?
The man awaiting rescue,
Mr. Chia, is 38 years old.
He got separated from fellow hikers.
From what we know,
he is wearing a blue-grey jacket,
green hiking pants, and a black backpack.
These are pictures of the man
that his family provided.
Here's a reminder.
Although the elevation of the search area
is only 600 m to 1,000 m,
the distance we're searching is quite far.
Also, the elevation
of the terrain changes drastically
and the vegetation is dense.
So please be careful.
We'll start at the coordinates
where Mr. Chia's phone signal cut off.
We'll split up into three groups
and search carefully.
Team One will search
in the east of the signal.
Team Two will search in the west.
Team Three will search in the south.
Lastly,
if anyone finds Mr. Chia,
please call for backup immediately.
Han-cheng.
Your branch sent you here today?
That's right. I happened to be
in the rescue team today.
Ta-hu.
How is your factory doing?
We've been busy.
But I still can't neglect
my volunteer duties.
What about you?
How are Hsiao-ying and your kids?
They're the same as usual.
Attention, all teams.
Team One will go to the left with me.
Team Two will go forward.
Team Three will go to the right.
If there are no problems, let's start.
-Okay.
-Okay.
Mom, I want to go out to play!
You can't go out with a cold.
Why aren't you wearing a mask?
It's uncomfortable.
You need to wear a mask.
You might pass it on to your brother.
Put it on.
I don't want to.
It's uncomfortable.
Put it on!
-It's uncomfortable.
-I told you to put it on!
I want Dad!
Dad always takes me out!
I want Dad!
Hello.
I didn't hear my phone ring.
The reception in the mountains is bad.
I'm sorry.
I didn't know you called so many times.
I told you.
The reception in the mountains is bad.
I didn't do it on purpose.
Put Chi-chi on the phone.
I'll talk to her.
Hello, Chi-chi.
Why did you make your mom angry?
You can't go out when you're sick.
Didn't I tell you?
I'm sorry, everyone.
Firefighters have high-risk occupations,
so they only get Tier 6 insurance
which is more expensive
and there's an insurance limit too.
You can look at this information.
Because the fire department
now has subsidies,
our company came up with this group plan.
-Take a look.
-We need one more.
One?
-You two work here, right?
-Yes.
-Take a look.
-Thank you.
Thank you.
What's going on with you and Tzu-ling?
What do you mean?
Come on.
You guys went out on your day off.
You guys are together, aren't you?
No, don't spout nonsense.
Everyone.
Let's congratulate Lin Yi-yang
from our Tong'an branch.
He successfully stole the heart
of our Tong'an heroine,
Tzu-ling!
What the heck?
Don't talk nonsense.
Why are you standing up? Sit down!
-Kiss!
-Kiss!
So what if we're together?
Stop laughing.
The knot exam is tomorrow.
Have you learned it yet?
Have you learned it?
Have you learned it?
Have you?
Sit down.
Sit down.
Congratulations, Yi-yang.
Excuse me.
Some of our colleagues didn't come today.
Can you give us a few more copies?
Okay, no problem.
Now, I'll give you all some paper.
Please write some words down
to someone important to you.
If something happens to you,
we'll give it to them.
Basically, we're writing our last words.
Well...
You can actually write to anyone you want.
Then I'll write to Chang Chih-yuan.
I'll tell him to give the money
for the drinks he owes me to my wife.
Otherwise, he won't ever pay me back.
In moments like this,
you're still concerned about a few drinks.
I'm just that petty.
If you have any questions,
you can ask me.
Hey!
Mr. Chia!
Mr. Chia!
Mr. Chia!
Mr. Chia!
Hey!
Mr. Chia!
Hey! Is it Mr. Chia?
I'm over here!
Don't worry. We found you.
Stay where you are.
We're coming to rescue you.
Team One to incident command center.
The missing Mr. Chia has been found.
The coordinates are
24 degrees, 51.11 minutes north
and 121 degrees, 23.36 minutes east.
After we've found an open area,
we'll report the new coordinates
so a helicopter can come for rescue.
Mr. Chia.
Are you okay?
I'm here.
Don't worry. We'll save you.
Don't worry.
We'll check your wounds first.
My left leg hurts. I can't walk.
Okay.
Are you out of breath?
I'm okay.
Do you feel anything?
Do you?
Does my wife know you've found me?
Don't worry.
She's at the command center.
That's good.
Mr. Chia, you have a bone fracture.
I need to hold it in place for you,
so it might hurt a little.
You have to bear with it.
Okay.
I'm raising your leg.
That hurts.
Okay. Hang in there.
Hold on.
Okay. Come on.
One, two, three.
Stop.
-Are you ready?
-Okay.
-All right. One, two, three.
-One, two, three.
-Okay, stop.
-Be careful.
Okay. Come on.
-One, two, three.
-One, two, three.
Come on.
-One, two, three.
-One, two, three.
Hold on...
Team One is calling the command center.
The dense canopy prevents
helicopter rope suspension.
Preparing for manual extraction.
Attention, team.
It's getting dark.
We can't go down the mountain tonight.
Let's set up camp here.
My goodness!
Come here quickly.
Why is it raining so hard?
Why is it raining so much?
What are you doing?
Here's my raincoat.
Do you only have one?
That's right.
You can wear it.
You should wear it.
You wear it.
I'll put on my hood.
You wear it. It's yours.
Let's wear it together.
How do we do that?
You can lean on my shoulder.
I can't reach it.
This will work.
Do you think you're tall?
A little taller than you.
I don't want to take medicine!
Why won't you listen?
-You need to take medicine to get better.
-I want Dad!
I want Dad!
Okay, let's call him.
Your call has been forwarded
to an automatic voice message system.
Your dad isn't here.
Take your medicine first, okay?
Dad!
Honey
No network available
Is my husband okay?
Mrs. Chia, come here. Let me explain.
Your husband's condition
isn't too serious.
He has hypothermia
and a left leg fracture.
But don't worry.
We'll get him treated right away.
-It's okay. Leave it to us.
-Okay, thank you.
Thank you for your help. Thank you.
Thank you.
Honey.
Honey, are you okay? Honey.
What's going on?
Why is it such a mess in here?
Why is it such a mess?
Do you know our baby went
to the ER with a fever yesterday?
Do you know
that Chi-chi cried the whole night?
I have to handle everything by myself!
Take care
of the family yourself if you can!
You do it!
-I'm moving back to my mom's place.
-Why?
Is there a need to discuss this?
Would you listen?
Your job is more important anyway.
He did this to me.
I was at the television station yesterday.
My friend asked me how I got hurt.
Mr. Pai, how do you want me to answer?
If you think I don't support you enough
as your chief,
you can transfer to another branch.
Pick one that you like. I'll help you.
-I'm begging you.
-Listen to me for once.
-Let go of me.
-Listen to me just this once, okay?
Let go of me!
Be careful when you go in.
The layout is complicated
and the equipment is faulty.
It's fine. See you later.
-You have a quint. Why don't you use it?
-Yes, chief. Why not?
Hsiao-kao has been burned.
We're retreating now.
I forgot to check the air tank.
Yi-yang!
Yi-yang!
We're on the Bravo side now!
Thick smoke on second and third floors.
The fire must be intense.
We're still searching for the fire source.
