Up here there are only Qingyi and Mulan. Down below, everyone else.
Tell me. Three years ago, what was behind that door?
Xiaolan.
Was she all right?
No. She didn't know me anymore.
Xiaolan, it's me.
Who are you? I don't know you.
Who hit you?
I'm sorry. I won't run anymore. I'm not a person. I'm a doll.
Xiaolan, I'm here. We're going home.
Who are you?
You're the one who hit her!
You'd hit me?
That day, Mulan beat the Huo man to death. She took Xiaolan away.
I'm dying. The Huo men will come. You have to go.
I'm not going.
When I die, take me home. Will you?
When I was nine, someone took me away.
I want to go home.
All right. I'll take you home.
You sing. I'll listen.
All right. Sleep now. Sleep, and it will be all right.
Xiaolan went to sleep. She would never get up again.
The Huo men came. Mulan left. She wanted to die. But Qingyi came.
You said you'd invite me to see the flowers.
I don't like you. I got to know you because I wanted to use you. Go.
Is that so? Then shoot me.
You don't know me.
In the plane, Mulan says:
I wanted to die in front of you.
If the Huo men saw it, they'd know it wasn't you.
But they still said it was you.
You were gone from home for three years.
Now I understand. You got to know me not because you liked me. It was for Xiaolan.
Yes.
Then why didn't you come back? Why become my sister-in-law?
You're asking too much.
Then what do you want?
I want you to kill a man for me.
Who?
The old man of the Huo family.
No! There are people down there!
Isn't it his death you want?
Pull up!
There's a bomb on this plane, isn't there? I knew when I got in.
You knew?
I saw someone by the plane. Was it her?
Yes. A bomb.
My brother couldn't come up, but I could.
I never wanted you to come up!
Where's the bomb?
I don't know. We can still go down now.
Once we're down, you listen to me. Don't go near the Huo family again. In my house, no one can touch you.
You're too naive.
Naive? Fine. There's a parachute behind me. Take it and jump.
Do you want to die?
Now there's just one parachute. Let's play a game. The winner lives, the loser dies.
Fine. What game?
Do you love me, or hate me?
Hate you.
Correct.
And you? Do you love me, or hate me?
Guess.
You hate me.
Good. You win.
She won. The parachute was hers. He would die. But she didn't go.
Mulan!
You're not ruthless. Don't say you are.
Three years ago, we should have said goodbye.
I'm the one who wronged you.
You have a new home now.
Don't come looking for me.
Live well.
That's it?
My road isn't one you can walk. And one more thing: now that we're down, call me sister-in-law.
You're a liar.
Qingyi! Are you all right?
I'll live.
You jumped with him? Do you want to die?
Nobody died today. And the Huo family never thought of us.
Do you like him?
No.
The old man isn't dead. The woman who beats the children isn't dead either.
I know. Tonight I'm going to see those children. I left something there. I'm taking it back.
Night. The children are all standing. No one speaks. Mulan has come.
