清渝Qīngyú· Qingyu

清峄,敏贤不在家。

清峄Qīngyì· Qingyi

我知道。

清渝Qīngyú· Qingyu

昨天你和她说了什么?

清峄Qīngyì· Qingyi

我说了很难听的话。

清渝Qīngyú· Qingyu

今天她就不见了。现在大家都在问你。

清峄Qīngyì· Qingyi

你也觉得是我做的?

清渝Qīngyú· Qingyu

我不觉得。但是别人会觉得。

清峄Qīngyì· Qingyi

因为昨天很多人都听见了。

清渝Qīngyú· Qingyu

对。你昨天刚凶过她,今天她就不见了。

清峄Qīngyì· Qingyi

这也太快了。有人想害我。

清渝Qīngyú· Qingyu

你知道是谁?

清峄Qīngyì· Qingyi

我在想。

清渝Qīngyú· Qingyu

你先告诉我,敏贤会不会有事?

清峄Qīngyì· Qingyi

我不知道。但是这件事来得太快,我不相信她真的死了。

清渝Qīngyú· Qingyu

那你要去找谁?

清峄Qīngyì· Qingyi

牧兰。她一定知道一点什么。

清渝Qīngyú· Qingyu

你又要一个人去?

清峄Qīngyì· Qingyi

她想让大家看我,我也要去看她。

清渝Qīngyú· Qingyu

清峄,别再说让人害怕的话。

清峄Qīngyì· Qingyi

我不说。我只问她,敏贤在哪。

旁白pángbái· Narrator

清峄找到一件婚纱,是霍敏贤的,上面全是血。

清峄Qīngyì· Qingyi

霍敏贤失踪了,这件婚纱却在你这里。

牧兰Mùlán· Mulan

你认出来了。

清峄Qīngyì· Qingyi

昨天我在大家面前威胁她,今天她就失踪。你想让所有人怀疑我。

牧兰Mùlán· Mulan

这很正常。你自己说过的话,大家都听见了。

清峄Qīngyì· Qingyi

婚纱是你安排的?消息也是你放出去的?

牧兰Mùlán· Mulan

他们只看到了我想让他们看的。

清峄Qīngyì· Qingyi

血是真的?

牧兰Mùlán· Mulan

血是真的。霍敏贤还活着。

清峄Qīngyì· Qingyi

你拿一个活人来做这件事。

牧兰Mùlán· Mulan

你把李管家带到南城,也拿一个活人来找我。

清峄Qīngyì· Qingyi

李管家在哪?

牧兰Mùlán· Mulan

他以后不会再说话了。

清峄Qīngyì· Qingyi

你也动了他?

牧兰Mùlán· Mulan

他知道太多,也帮霍家做过太多坏事。

清峄Qīngyì· Qingyi

你终于不再装方牧兰了。

牧兰Mùlán· Mulan

你可以去告诉霍家,我就是任素素。

清峄Qīngyì· Qingyi

你觉得我不敢?

牧兰Mùlán· Mulan

你去说。然后大家会问,你为什么先威胁霍敏贤,又让她失踪。

清峄Qīngyì· Qingyi

你把你的身份和我的嫌疑放在一起。

牧兰Mùlán· Mulan

你说出我的秘密,你自己也会更危险。

清峄Qīngyì· Qingyi

你以前跟我说的话,到底有多少是真的?

牧兰Mùlán· Mulan

等你愿意相信的时候,再来问我。

清渝Qīngyú· Qingyu

清峄,霍家的供货人突然不愿意给我们飞机了。

清峄Qīngyì· Qingyi

五架都不给?

清渝Qīngyú· Qingyu

一架都没有。明天就开学了,没飞机怎么行?

清峄Qīngyì· Qingyi

飞机还在船上。我知道船是谁的。

清渝Qīngyú· Qingyu

你有办法?

清峄Qīngyì· Qingyi

我以前救过那个人。他本来就想把飞机给我。

清渝Qīngyú· Qingyu

别为了我再把婚事和霍家放在一起。

清峄Qīngyì· Qingyi

婚事是我自己的事。但航校关系到很多人。

清渝Qīngyú· Qingyu

你准备把飞机送给航校?

清峄Qīngyì· Qingyi

我早就准备好了。

旁白pángbái· Narrator

牧兰听见了。她也在等这五架飞机,因为航校开学那天,她有自己的安排。

牧兰Mùlán· Mulan

清峄,把飞机给清渝。

清峄Qīngyì· Qingyi

你这么关心我的哥哥?

牧兰Mùlán· Mulan

我是他的未婚妻。他的成功,也是我的成功。

清峄Qīngyì· Qingyi

说得很好听。你真正关心的,是开学那天吧?

牧兰Mùlán· Mulan

你知道了多少?

清峄Qīngyì· Qingyi

我知道霍敏贤没有死。
我也知道你需要我和她结婚,需要五架飞机按时出现。

牧兰Mùlán· Mulan

你想用飞机威胁我?

清峄Qīngyì· Qingyi

你教我的。要把最重要的东西放在手里。

牧兰Mùlán· Mulan

你要什么条件?

清峄Qīngyì· Qingyi

来船上找我。

牧兰Mùlán· Mulan

五架飞机,高一点的价格也可以,我全买了。

清峄Qīngyì· Qingyi

不卖。

牧兰Mùlán· Mulan

你叫我来,就是为了说不卖?

清峄Qīngyì· Qingyi

我想听你求我。

牧兰Mùlán· Mulan

好。清峄,我求你,把飞机给清渝。

清峄Qīngyì· Qingyi

这样不够。

牧兰Mùlán· Mulan

你还想要什么?

清峄Qīngyì· Qingyi

跪下求我。

牧兰Mùlán· Mulan

可以。

清峄Qīngyì· Qingyi

为了清渝,你连脸都不要了?

牧兰Mùlán· Mulan

航校可以让很多人学习飞行。
清渝为它花了很多时间,也受了很多伤。
我的脸没有它重要。

清峄Qīngyì· Qingyi

你愿意跪下,却不愿意对我说一句真话。

牧兰Mùlán· Mulan

你想听哪一句?

清峄Qīngyì· Qingyi

三年前,你为什么不说再见就走?霍明熙为什么会死?你回来要做什么?

牧兰Mùlán· Mulan

把飞机给清渝,我告诉你三年前的真相。

清峄Qīngyì· Qingyi

你又在跟我交换。

牧兰Mùlán· Mulan

你拿飞机让我跪下,也是在交换。

清峄Qīngyì· Qingyi

我想看你输一次。

牧兰Mùlán· Mulan

现在我认输。你为什么还是不高兴?

清峄Qīngyì· Qingyi

因为你每次说真话,都要先拿走我的东西。

牧兰Mùlán· Mulan

那你想听免费的真话?

清峄Qīngyì· Qingyi

我想知道,我们三年前说过的话,有没有一句是真的。

牧兰Mùlán· Mulan

有。可你现在不会相信。

清峄Qīngyì· Qingyi

走。飞机不给你。

清渝Qīngyú· Qingyu

看天上!一架、两架……五架飞机!

旁白pángbái· Narrator

五架飞机飞过了航校。清渝终于能开学了。

清渝Qīngyú· Qingyu

清峄,你还是把飞机送来了。

清峄Qīngyì· Qingyi

这本来就是送你的礼物。

清渝Qīngyú· Qingyu

那你为什么让牧兰来求你?

清峄Qīngyì· Qingyi

我想看看,她为你能做到什么地步。

清渝Qīngyú· Qingyu

她真的愿意跪下,你开心了吗?

清峄Qīngyì· Qingyi

没有。她一低头,我就想让她站起来。

清渝Qīngyú· Qingyu

你想让她输,又不想看她受伤。

清峄Qīngyì· Qingyi

她也一样。她让我被所有人怀疑,却又一定要飞机帮你开学。

清渝Qīngyú· Qingyu

所以谁赢了?

清峄Qīngyì· Qingyi

飞机到了,航校赢了。我们两个都没有赢。

清渝Qīngyú· Qingyu

她答应告诉你过去的真相。

清峄Qīngyì· Qingyi

我会让她说。但下一次,我不要用飞机,也不要她跪下。

旁白pángbái· Narrator

飞机停在航校。
牧兰看着它们,知道计划可以继续。
清峄看着她,知道两人的交换还没有结束。
English transcript reference

Qingyi, Minxian isn't home.

I know.

What did you say to her yesterday?

I said some very harsh things.

Today she's gone. Now everyone is asking about you.

You think I did it too?

I don't think so. But others will.

Because a lot of people heard yesterday.

Right. You were harsh to her yesterday, and today she's gone.

That's too fast. Someone wants to frame me.

Do you know who?

I'm thinking.

First tell me, will Minxian be all right?

I don't know. But this came too fast — I don't believe she's really dead.

Then who will you go to?

Mulan. She must know something.

You're going alone again?

She wants everyone to look at me, so I'll go and look at her.

Qingyi, stop saying frightening things.

I won't. I'll only ask her where Minxian is.

Qingyi found a wedding dress. It's Huo Minxian's, and it's covered in blood.

Huo Minxian is missing, yet this wedding dress is here with you.

You recognized it.

Yesterday I threatened her in front of everyone, and today she disappears. You want everyone to suspect me.

That's only natural. You said those words yourself, and everyone heard them.

Did you arrange the dress? Did you spread the news too?

They only saw what I wanted them to see.

Is the blood real?

The blood is real. Huo Minxian is still alive.

You're using a living person to do this.

You brought steward Li to Nancheng, using a living person to come after me too.

Where is steward Li?

He won't be saying anything anymore.

You did something to him too?

He knew too much, and did too many bad things for the Huo family.

You've finally stopped pretending to be Fang Mulan.

You can go tell the Huo family that I am Ren Susu.

You think I don't dare?

Go ahead and say it. Then everyone will ask why you first threatened Huo Minxian, and then made her disappear.

You put your identity and my suspicion together.

If you reveal my secret, you'll be in more danger yourself.

How much of what you told me before was actually true?

When you're willing to believe, come ask me again.

Qingyi, the Huo family's supplier suddenly won't give us the planes.

None of the five?

Not one. School opens tomorrow — how can we manage with no planes?

The planes are still on the ship. I know whose ship it is.

You have a way?

I once saved that man's life. He wanted to give the planes to me anyway.

Don't tie your marriage and the Huo family together again for my sake.

My marriage is my own affair. But the flight school affects many people.

You plan to give the planes to the flight school?

I got them ready long ago.

Mulan heard. She's also waiting for these five planes, because she has her own plan for the day the flight school opens.

Qingyi, give the planes to Qingyu.

You care this much about my brother?

I'm his fiancée. His success is my success too.

That sounds nice. What you really care about is the opening day, isn't it?

How much do you know?

I know Huo Minxian isn't dead.

I also know you need me to marry her, and need the five planes to appear on time.

You want to use the planes to threaten me?

You taught me. Keep the most important thing in your own hands.

What are your conditions?

Come find me on the ship.

Five planes. I'll pay a higher price if needed — I'll buy them all.

Not for sale.

You called me here just to say "not for sale"?

I want to hear you beg me.

Fine. Qingyi, I beg you, give the planes to Qingyu.

That's not enough.

What else do you want?

Kneel and beg me.

All right.

For Qingyu, you'd throw away your face?

The flight school can let many people learn to fly.

Qingyu spent so much time on it, and suffered so many injuries.

My face isn't as important as it is.

You're willing to kneel, but not willing to say one true word to me.

Which one do you want to hear?

Three years ago, why did you leave without saying goodbye? Why did Huo Mingxi die? What did you come back to do?

Give the planes to Qingyu, and I'll tell you the truth about three years ago.

You're trading with me again.

You use the planes to make me kneel — that's trading too.

I want to see you lose for once.

Now I concede. Why are you still not happy?

Because every time you tell the truth, you first take something of mine.

So you want the truth for free?

I want to know whether a single word we said three years ago was true.

There was. But right now you won't believe it.

Go. I'm not giving you the planes.

Look at the sky! One, two... five planes!

Five planes flew over the flight school. Qingyu can finally open the school.

Qingyi, you delivered the planes after all.

This was always a gift for you.

Then why did you make Mulan come beg you?

I wanted to see how far she'd go for you.

She really was willing to kneel. Did that make you happy?

No. The moment she bowed her head, I wanted her to stand back up.

You want her to lose, but you don't want to see her hurt.

She's the same. She made everyone suspect me, yet insisted the planes help you open the school.

So who won?

The planes arrived, the flight school won. Neither of us won.

She promised to tell you the truth about the past.

I'll make her tell it. But next time, I won't use planes, and I won't make her kneel.

The planes rest at the flight school.

Mulan looks at them, knowing the plan can continue.

Qingyi looks at her, knowing the trade between them isn't over yet.
