All language subtitles for The Company Episode 12

=The Company=
=Season 1=

(Adapted from Xuan Se's novel
of the same title.)

=Episode 12=

Do you know what you did wrong?

Because I kept traveling back and forth
through the same timeline

to save my friend,

a lot of innocent people

ended up dying.

That's not all.

Your repeated crossings

warped that timeline.

The distortion caused energy anomalies

that affected the items
in Qin Ziyi's Treasure Trove.

Those objects were thrown into timelines
where they never should've existed.

Do you understand what that leads to?

No, I don't.

Should these objects emerge
in other timelines without detection,

the risk remains limited.

But once someone
picks them up or uses them,

it introduces variables into their fate.

Their life path shifts.

That shift can be small or massive.

It's like throwing a stone

into calm water.

The ripples keep spreading,

one turning into many,

many turning into countless,

and eventually, countless lives
are affected.

It wasn't
until I reached Tianguang Market

that I realized
the timeline tied to Yashe

had already been torn to shreds

because of

my selfishness and obsession.

Order collapsed.
Time itself was thrown into chaos.

This is the gravest taboo
in time travel.

My sins run deep.

I ask you

to give me a chance

to make things right.

Though I'm the Market Lord here,

I'm also part
of the Time Administration.

Seeing that you truly repent,

I can offer you a chance

to redeem yourself on their behalf.

Thank you, Market Lord.

You may use the time elevator
to retrieve the scattered artifacts

from the wrong timelines

and return them where they belong

to minimize further damage.

Can you do that?

Yes,

I can.

Market Lord,

this goes against
Time Administration protocol.

Let him earn redemption
through merit, just this once.

Bring the prepared items.

Guards.

This outfit will keep you alive.

(I finally understood.)

(The mistakes of the past)

(can't be undone.)

(The dead can never be brought back.)

(From that moment on,)

(my mission began.)

(I traveled through
countless timelines,)

(searching for Ziyi's treasures.)

I built this Treasure Trove.

Once it's filled,

my journey through time ends.

(Treasure Trove)
That's why

I can't allow anyone

to repeat my mistake.

I didn't know
you carried a past like that.

I thought someone as powerful as you

wouldn't have worries.

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have used Yashe
without permission.

I was wrong.

I won't do it again.

Let me stay with you

and help you finish what you need to do.

Please?

Even if everything I do

brings misfortune to others,

even if I have to leave in the end,

would you still want to stay?

You could stay here, too.

It's fine as long as we don't alter
the fate of historical figures, right?

I'm not some figure of history.

I don't have a destiny worth changing.

Once everything's over,

you could live

in our era

and experience life here.

You still don't understand.

Come with me.

Are you taking me to see someone?

What is this place?

This is Huai City.

When spring is at its best,

scholars from the Imperial Academy
gather here,

carrying their scrolls, trading books,

and debating ideas.

Huai City...

Are those locust trees?

Yes.

In mid-spring,

white petals

fill the city

like falling frost.

So...

you brought me here to see the flowers?

Is he dead?

That's the carriage and coachman
from Qin Residence.

Why did you bring me here?

I need you to understand

why the past can't be changed.

Back then, I was the one
who sent Caiwei with the message.

It led to her death here.

I never even
had the chance to look for her.

To save one person,

so many innocent lives were lost.

Let's bury her together.

Caiwei!

Caiwei!

Young Master...

You saved our young master.

Thank goodness...

I'm sorry

I failed your trust.

The Dushan Jade

was stolen by thieves.

Please

look after

our young master...

Do I really look

that much like Mr. Qin?

Look over there.

(Yashe)

You should go.

Then...

I'll head back and walk Tuanzi.

Su Beilu.

Don't stay at Yashe anymore.

I...

I know what I did wrong.

I won't do it again.

Please

don't make me leave.

You can live in that apartment.

Take your time finding another job.

This job matters a lot to me.

I mean,

we've been
working better together, haven't we?

You even praised me last time.

Can't you give me another chance?

How many chances
have I already given you?

Do you not understand what I'm saying?

I'm telling you to leave.

Go.

Leave this place. Leave Yashe.

What have you ever brought me

other than trouble?

I know.

I know you took me back

so I'd understand

how serious the consequences
of changing the past are.

I didn't know so many people would die.

Now I do.

I swear I'll never do it again.

You still don't get it!

This is all my fault.

I was wrong.

It's my fault.

I never should've dragged you into this.

Go.

Leave.

Get out of here!

Tuanzi,

I can spend the whole day
with you today.

Happy?

Actually,

I'll be able to spend every day
with you from now on.

I lost my job again.

You don't have to comfort me.

It's not the first time anyway.

Everything I do

turns into a mess.

I can't do anything right,

so maybe it's better
not to do anything at all.

If I don't do anything,
I can't mess it up.

Right, Tuanzi?

(Not even junk food
gives me joy anymore.)

Tuanzi,

do you want to go outside?

This way. Go straight,
and then turn right.

(Chongle Pet Hospital)

Hello.

Tuanzi,

do you miss the people at the hospital?

Forget it.

Let's not bother them.

Come on.

Min,

help me register this.

Su Beilu!

Why didn't you come in?

Have you eaten yet?

It's my treat.

Order whatever you want.

Come on.

Order anything you want.

(Luosifen Combo)

Sir,

you're too generous.

You're my student.

Don't be polite with me.

Take a seat.

Order what you want.

Anything is fine.

We're ready to order.

Go ahead.

Two bowls of Luosifen.

Got it.

Add fried egg,

beef balls,

duck feet, and pig trotters.

Sir,

that's too much.

Don't hold back.

We want the everything combo!

Sure thing.

And stir-fry some greens.

Two sodas, too.

You want yours cold or room temperature?

We can't eat that much.

Make it chilled!

Here you go.

Enjoy.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Sir, the thing is,

I'm out of a job again.

Don't address me so politely.

In this area,

you're my master.

Here.

Congratulations on job hunting again.

Sir.

Am I really

that useless?

I used to not think much.

You told me what to do
and I just did it.

The vet exam

was for work,

so I took it.

But...

But I'm not smart enough.

I couldn't pass.

I didn't think I was useless.

I just thought

I hadn't worked hard enough.

After leaving the hospital,

I fixed a lot of my bad habits.

I wanted to do well at my new job.

But in the end,

I still messed it up.

Sir.

Do you think I'm a failure, too?

Su.

Here.

Look at this bowl of Luosifen.

What would a rich person say?

They'd say,

"Tang,

you're treating us

and this is all you ordered?"

What would someone without money say?

They'd say,

"It's just a bowl of noodles.

Why did you order all the extras

and waste money?"

But

how does it feel after eating it?

I decide that.

It's good,

it's worth it,

and I'm happy.

So am I useless or not?

Why do you care so much
about what I think?

It doesn't matter whether others think
you're useless or not.

That's just their version of you.

You should live as the kind of person
you don't think is useless.

If it's not enough yet,

then keep working at it.

That's all there is to it.

Got it, boy?

Eat up.

Have some vegetables.

Thank you, Sir.

Here.

(Spicy Or Not, It's Your Call)

Have some vegetables too, Sir.

Tuanzi,

you don't want to leave either, do you?

But we've got to rely on ourselves.

We can't depend on others forever.

Don't worry.

I'll find a better job

on my own

and get you a nicer place to live.

All right.

I'm packing up now.

Go play outside.

Go on.

What a clever dog.

You even know to tell me

to pack your toys.

Go and play.

Tuanzi!

Tuanzi!

That's Bizhi's.

I know you'll miss Bizhi, too,

but we can't keep bothering him.

Tuanzi!

That's Bizhi's, too.

What's wrong with you?

We're leaving, you know that?

We have to rely on ourselves now.

We're on our own now.

All right.

Go play.

Tuanzi!

Oh, no.

Don't chew that!

Move over.

Here.

Don't fall asleep.

Don't move.

Help is on the way.

(Yashe)

Is anyone in?

Bizhi!

Bizhi, are you in there?

Bizhi, I need to talk to you.

Bizhi!

Bizhi, are you in there?

Open up!

Is anyone in?

Bizhi!

(Yashe)

Bizhi.

Bizhi.

You didn't leave.

When I went back,

Tuanzi kept barking,

so I had to bring him out.

That person was you,

wasn't it?

The man who pulled me out of the car

was you,

wasn't it?

I never thought

that kid from back then was you.

I always believed

I was the unluckiest guy in the world.

But starting today,

I don't think that anymore.

You wanted to push me away

because you were afraid
you'd bring me misfortune,

like what happened to Caiwei.

Don't talk about yourself like that.

You're a good man.

You matter.

Without you,

there wouldn't be
someone called Su Beilu,

and Tuanzi wouldn't be

this healthy.

Chun Ge and Min

would've lost a friend.

And you wouldn't have

had such an easy time
collecting antiques either.

Right?

Let's say that's true.

Save me some pride.

I didn't drive you away

because you used Yashe
without permission,

or because I was afraid
of bringing you bad luck.

I was afraid
you'd become who I used to be.

You had already forgotten the past.

My appearance

gave you hope again.

When I looked at you that day,

it was like seeing my old self.

I was afraid you'd live

your whole life burdened by the regret
of not saving your parents.

Honestly,

if I could,

I'd still want to save my parents.

But now I know

that if I went back,

I'd change so much
of what's happening now.

I want my parents to live,

but that

would mean

I wouldn't return to Ninghai,

wouldn't live with my grandmother,

and wouldn't meet you.

I'm just an ordinary person.

My life's nothing special.

But

I've had a lot of happy

and unforgettable moments.

Those moments are what made me

who I am.

So

I don't want to change the past anymore.

Let's let go

of our obsessions together.

What do you say?

♪Years later, I meet my younger self♪

Either way,

I want to stay at Yashe.

Whether you're redeeming yourself

or whatever it is,

I want to keep helping you.

I know

we'll part ways someday,

but

the meaning of life

isn't reaching some destination.

It's about carrying
every step of the journey.

♪I wish I could tap it just once♪

♪Let the waves that left and came back
wash over my feet again♪

You didn't come up

with that last line yourself, did you?

♪But was it all just a dream?♪

Just pretend I copied it.

Took a lot of effort to memorize it.

I'm sorry.

I said a lot of hurtful things

just to make you leave.

It's fine.

Just let me come back to work.

And by the way,

I quit yesterday

and got hired today.

In this era,

that's called

job hopping.

I expect a raise.

♪Let the waves that left and came back
wash over my feet again♪

Let's go,

Tuanzi.

If you don't say anything,
I'll take that as a yes.

I'm coming back to work tomorrow.

I'll open the door for you at 8:30 AM.

So? I'm working tomorrow, right?

Okay. I'm working tomorrow.

♪Maybe your answer will never come♪

Coming!

- Housewarming party!
- Housewarming party!

You guys brought a lot of stuff.

Leave it on the table.

Here.

Is that dog bed for Tuanzi?

Yes.

Tuanzi, say thank you
to your aunt and uncle.

Come here.

It's sister.

Do you like it, Tuanzi?

Is your boss not here?

He went to close the shop.
He'll come over once he's done.

Su Beilu.

Is this you when you were little?

Those are my parents.

You were pretty cute as a kid.

Su Beilu,

this place is so nice.

Can I come stay over once in a while?

Sure.

Min, if you come too,

we'll call Bizhi and we

can stay up all night
playing board games.

I'm in.

Sign me up too!

I won't get caught by my mom
for pulling an all-nighter.

He's back.

Houses in front of a temple stay poor,
the ones behind get rich.

On either side
come widowers and orphans.

If your front door faces the balcony,
wealth slips right out.

All right.

Your front door
doesn't face the balcony.

That's good.

The feng shui's fine.

Your wealth position's

due south.

Hey, what are you doing here?

Introduce us.

I'll introduce myself.

My surname is Dong.

You may call me Master Dong.

Master Dong, I'm Chun Ge.

Hello.

Min.

Nice to meet you.

Welcome, everyone.

What's the occasion

today again?

- Housewarming party.
- Housewarming party.

Party.

Yes.

Housewarming party.

Eat up and have fun.

Make yourselves at home.

Master Dong.

Have a seat.

All right.

So today's a housewarming party.

I came at just the right time.

Why's he here?

The pot's boiling.

Nice.

Looks delicious.

Here. I'll get you some.

Thank you.

This one's good too.

These meatballs.

The meatballs are nice.

You guys have no manners at all.

Bizhi hasn't even said anything yet.

Look at you all,
already helping yourselves to the food.

It's fine. Don't be polite.

Dig in.

Bizhi,

shouldn't you say something

on such a happy occasion?

Say something.

Say something!

Right.

What do you mean?

It means you, as the host,
should toast everyone.

How about this?

As your guest,

I'll show you
how to do a proper toast.

Sound good?

Sure.

Come on.

Come on.

First,

congratulations to Bizhi
on the new home.

I moved, too.

- Double the joy.
- Double the joy.

Congratulations to you, too.

Second,

I'm happy to have met

so many new friends.

- We're happy too, Master Dong.
- Me too!

From now on, we're all family.

Let's keep in touch often,

all right?

No problem.

All right then.
Let's all raise a glass to Bizhi.

Sound good?

- Congratulations, Bizhi.
- Congratulations, Bizhi.

Best wishes to you.

Congratulations, Bizhi.

Best wishes to you, Bizhi.

Thank you, everyone.

For Doucai porcelain,

you first outline the pattern

in blue underglaze

on the white body.

Then you fill it in with red, yellow,

green, and purple pigments.

Then, it's fired at a low temperature,

around 700-800 degrees.

That's how it's made.

Wow.

Impressive.

Master Dong,

how do you know so much?

I've much to learn still.

I've got Bizhi to thank

for broadening my horizons.

I have

a Phoenix Eye Bodhi Seed Rosary.

Let me show it to you guys.

Where's my rosary?

Master Dong, is that it?

My Phoenix Eye Bodhi Seed Rosary!

Tuanzi!

My Phoenix Eye Bodhi Seed Rosary!

What's it doing in Tuanzi's mouth?

Tuanzi!

Good Tuanzi.

Quick!

Open your mouth!

Spit it out!

Mister.

Thank you.

Thank you

for letting me stay at Yashe.

Thank you

for letting me stay here.

Cheers!

My Qing dynasty rosary!

What did you do to it?

Let me see.

Grab some tissue.

This is basically

ruined for good.

This thing can't get wet.

Sorry, Master Dong.

This is nice.
