Original subtitles

We're almost done. We'll be fine.

Wow! You're still preparing the Christmas party?

If our proof isn't sent to the printing press in five minutes

there will be no magazine.

Is that your Christmas gift to me?

Where's the delivery guy?

The handsomest editor-in-chief, don't worry.

I hired the strongest, fastest, speediest bicycle delivery man!

Bicycle delivery man?

A helicopter wouldn't make it in time and you hired a bicycle delivery man?

Don't be mad! Think about it.

A helicopter requires a few minutes just to land.

The delivery man's godly swerving will definitely accomplish the task on time.

And most importantly, he only costs a fifth of a motorcycle delivery man.

A fifth? Am I that stingy?

The printing press is eighteen subway stations away.

Can he make it in five minutes?

- He definitely can! - Delivery man!

He's here! He's here!

[Urgent]

Hello, I am Ling Qi Sa. I am happy to serve you.

Don't talk so much. You have four minutes and twenty seven seconds.

- Can you make it? - No problem, let me take care of it.

Merry Christmas!

Hi! I am Ling Qi Sa. I am twenty one.

I am a plain and average college student.

The only unusual thing about me is that I have

two unemployed naive and optimistic parents.

But because of them, I acquired many skills working different jobs.

No matter the difficulty, I can smile confidently through it.

[Hayate the Combat Butler] Episode One

Why couldn't I have avoided it?

I'm so unfortunate. The bicycle and the uniform were ruined.

I had to pay for the loss and I was also fired.

I still have a night job and today is pay day!

Santa Claus has left me hope.

Yes!

- Xiao Sa. - Yes!

- Give me a beer. - Here!

- Come over here. - Okay.

Boss, are you okay? Are you in a bad mood again?

You're fired.

Boss, what did I do wrong?

I had wanted to hire someone that was twenty-five and not a student.

Yet you lied to me.

You seriously upset me.

Boss, I didn't mean to lie to you. But... I really need this job.

Being twenty-one means I am an adult.

It is legal for me to work at a bar.

I don't understand why I have to be twenty-five.

My shop. My rule.

- You must follow. - I'm sorry.

Please give me another chance. Please.

If your parents didn't come today, I wouldn't have known.

My parents talked to you?

- Why? - To get money.

They took your NT$17,826 salary.

Boss.

You really gave them all of my salary?

It's better than giving it to a liar!

Forget it, I have to find my parents.

[For Xiao Sa]

The envelope with my salary?

For Xiao Sa?

My parents didn't spend all my salary?

Xiao Sa, Mommy really didn't want to leave you.

But I was so unlucky today, I lost all the money.

I am in despair, but don't worry.

I left you three steel balls for wealth!

What?

Qi Sa, you had a problem with the fact that I was unemployed, right?

I didn't work because I'm trying to find a meaningful job

that would impact society before I become employed.

I am certain you can understand my dedication.

But isn't waiting ten years too long?

I have already waited ten years. Do you want me to give up now?

About last week.

I don't believe your teacher's accusation that you stole school fees.

- Thank you for believing me. - Because...

I stole them!

I am sorry. I really need money.

I had no choice but to run away from home.

We know that you are very strong. You will be fine.

Also...

You can help us clear our gambling debts.

Gambling debts?

This is your mom's IOU.

Don't worry. The creditor is a very nice and reasonable person.

As long as you talk to him, I am sure the debt will be cleared soon.

Oh my god! The debt is NT$55,556,789?

How am I supposed to pay back this kind of money?

I'm so careless. A poor person's door is too easy to knock down.

- This is a door. - This is so funny! This is a door?

See if they're here.

Don't touch him.

- You got lucky. - Big Brother, sit

Big Brother, sit... here. There's a chair here.

He looks exactly like he does in the picture.

You're the son of that Ling guy, right?

Didn't Dad said the creditor is nice and reasonable?

How come he doesn't look like that at all?

Tell your parents to come out and return the money!

My parents disappeared.

Oh, disappeared? Then you return it!

I can't afford to return over NT$50,000,000!

Can't afford it? He can't afford it.

Okay, I know. You have three choices. Just for you.

Three choices?

We call them the 'Three Surprise Lucky Bags.'

Lucky bag one is a five year contract.

We will find a luxury car and you will get hit by it.

Afterwards, we will discuss the pay out with the car owner.

How can you do that? Faking a car accident is illegal.

No problem, no problem. We have lucky bag two.

It's a three year contract. Put our drugs in your mouth and your butt.

After you pass the inspection through customs successfully, take them out for us.

- Then we will let you go. - Yes.

- I won't traffic drugs! - Enough! You're so picky.

You only have lucky bag three left.

- His body is not bad. - Quite warm.

- A lot of people want organs. - Selling my organs?

[Skin NT$31,000 per square foot]

[Bone marrow NT$690,000 per kilogram]

[Heart NT$6,600,000] [Teeth NT$31,000 per tooth]

[Kidney NT$6,000,000] [Lungs NT$2,908,555]

[Cornea NT$140,000] [Liver NT$ 5,850,000]

- No! - No?

You're taking advantage of our politeness.

Do you want to see us get mad? Kill him!

- Big Brother... - It's cold.

Big Brother.

Tell you what...

If you can pick up this knife and kill the three of us

then you don't have to return the NT$50,000,000.

I knew it.

You don't have the courage to be a bad person.

- Grab him! - Yes, sir!

Chase after him!

Wow!

I've biked so far, I should be okay.

That was so dangerous just now.

I can't believe my parents borrowed money from the mafia.

What's worst, they ran away and left me to negotiate the payment.

I am your son!

Happy birthday!

Xiao Sa, happy birthday!

Xiao Sa, you're nine now.

I went to the bakery and bought you a...

cake box!

Xiao Sa, today, this cracker is all for you.

Thank you, Daddy.

- Quickly eat. - Quickly, eat.

I never blamed them for being poor.

Even though they didn't work, I worked as I attend school.

I even hoped that after I graduate, I can buy

a house with three bedrooms and two living rooms

so we can all live together.

I didn't expect them to abandon me, especially on Christmas.

What's the point of being a good son? What's the point of being a good student?

In the end, I'm in debt and being pursued by the mafia.

You don't even have the courage to be a bad person.

Who said I can't be a bad person?

I have decided. I don't want to be a good person anymore.

I don't want to be killed by the mafia.

I am going to be bad and kidnap a rich person.

I will ask for a NT$55,556,789 ransom to pay off the debt!

What is wrong with this machine?

Despicable! Why is it like this?

Despicable! I can't use my credit card.

I will buy all these drink factories tomorrow.

Buy all the drink factories?

She must be rich.

She will be my target.

Ling Qi Sa, don't be nervous.

Caesar and Napoleon had to go on their first battles too.

It's hard to not be nervous for the first time.

Calm down, calm down.

Hey girl, why are you by yourself on Christmas?

Let's go. Go out with us.

Yeah. Do you like to karaoke or to club? We're fine with either.

It will be fun, okay? Okay, okay.

She's ignoring us? Let's go.

- She won't let me touch her. - How fierce.

So what now?

Don't steal my woman.

- Who's this? - Who are you?

Forget it... let's go.

Is this how a hero saves a damsel in distress?

Thank you. Even though I don't know you...

thank you for saving me.

I don't want to save you.

I want to kidnap you.

Why are you thanking me?

Thank you.

No one has ever worried about me without an ulterior motive.

But I do have an ulterior motive.

I want to kidnap you.

Kidnap, kidnap!

Don't waver! I want to kidnap her!

But the material of this jacket is not good.

The handiwork is done terribly. The material feels heavy.

Also...

Isn't it too big for you?

I bought a big one so that if I get skinnier or fatter, I can still wear it.

That way, I don't have to spend too much money on buying clothes.

Why are you explaining that to her?

But this jacket makes me feel very warm.

I really like it.

How can I kidnap such a kind girl?

To repay your warmth, request anything from me and I fulfill it.

Really? You can fulfill anything?

It will be fine if she agrees to the kidnapping, right?

Why does he keep staring at me?

Is he...

I need you.

What did you say?

I need you...

To be a hostage.

Your request is... you need me? For what?

Because the first time I saw you

I knew you were the one I was searching for.

I want to capture you!

Capture me? You're so forthright and old school.

This man is not bad.

This happened so suddenly... I'm not prepared.

But, I am serious! Please don't reject me.

The moment I saw you, I decided I wanted you!

Want me? You're so straightforward.

I understand. I don't think you're a bad person.

So I'll say yes.

Really? You really agree?

But I have a condition.

Please tell me. This is my first time so I want to hear your advice.

Am I the first woman he's ever confessed to?

My condition is that you must never cheat (can also mean splitting leg).

Split my legs? I wouldn't do that. Why would I?

Then I have no problems.

Since you agreed, please give me your home number, okay?

My home number?

Why don't you want my cell phone number?

Hi, this is San Qian Yuan household. Who are you looking for?

Hello. I am Mr. Ling.

Mr. Ling? Which Mr. Ling are you?

Ling Qi...

I am Mr. Hu. Not Mr. Ling.

You idiot!

Why do I always make a mistake at the end?

This happened when I was working, and again when I'm kidnapping.

I might as well never get up from here.

He took my home number and told me to wait here. Then he left.

Where did he go? How long do I have to wait?

[For Xiao Sa]

Xiao Sa? Is that his name?

I might as well freeze to death here.

Did you fall?

Who are you?

Are you okay?

I am fine.

Excuse me, did you see a woman this tall wearing a dress?

From her description, that sounds like my hostage.

Did you see her?

If I said yes, would she discover my plan?

If you see her, please tell me.

Is she your sister?

No, but we are like family.

In my eyes, she is cute and headstrong.

Even though she frequently gets in trouble

she is the most important and worrisome family member to me.

That girl has someone that worries about her.

In contrast, I was abandoned my parents.

It would be great if I had such a beautiful and warm person worry about me.

- So did you see... - No!

I did not see the woman you described.

It's okay, I'll continue to look for her.

I'll be leaving then.

Wait.

You can have this umbrella. It will bring you luck.

I am sorry.

I am sorry!

- I shouldn't have. - Are you okay?

- Do not move! - Come!

- Actually... - Let me go, let me go!

The mistress is being kidnapped!

Let's go...

Come back!

Hey! Sit still and do not move.

I will move, you pig head!

Hey, be polite!

- What do you want, idiot? - Idiot?

You are the idiot. Can you not tell that we are kidnapping you?

Once we get the ransom, we will let you go.

Why are your eyes so big? Trying to electrocute me?

Do not fall in love with me.

Do you have bugs on your body? Stop moving.

There is a cyclist that is following us.

Is he your fan?

Impossible. How can he catch up to a car?

- Impossible. - There's a ghost!

He wants to catch up to me on a bicycle? No way!

You are awesome! No way!

I suggest you stop the car now.

Stop the car? Do you think I am a taxi driver?

You really think you can escape from my security guards?

I refuse to stop. What are you going to do about it?

Tell people to come save you if you're so great.

Did you think no one will come save me if I yelled?

Go ahead and try.

Xiao Sa? Is that his name?

Xiao Sa!

- Leader, I cannot see the road! - I cannot see either!

Be careful!

Am I going to die?

People cannot sin.

I wanted to kidnap an innocent person, so God is punishing me.

Dad, Mom, I am sorry that I cannot pay off your debt.

Xiao Sa, you cannot die yet! If you die, who will pay off the debt?

- Xiao Sa! - That's right, Xiao Sa.

If you are alive, you can do anything! Xiao Sa!

No, I cannot die like this, no!

Please give me that woman back.

We've encountered a crazy person.

You can have her back!

He risked his life to save me.

There is a helicopter. Who are they?

- Arrest them. - Come out! Quickly!

Surrender, surrender!

- Come out, quickly! - Do not fire!

- Leader! - Mistress!

Thank goodness you are fine.

Hey, are you okay?

Are you okay?

I am fine. Thank goodness I caught up.

You rescued me again. Thanks. Really, thank you.

No one is ever this nice to me.

So nice that you would risk your life.

- I am very touched. - Don't be.

If you can, please give me a job.

One that provides housing and food would be best.

A job? Provides housing and food?

Are you okay? Are you okay?

Mistress, we will take him to the emergency room.

Did he just drop these?

Mistress, why are you wearing such an old jacket?

This...

This is my savior's jacket.

Maria, Ji Shen left a while ago, right?

- About two years now. - That long ago?

No problem. I found a new butler to take over.

Him. He is my newly hired butler!

Isn't this that place?

It really is you. You are still here.

I told you your parents will abandon you.

I told you your parents will use your kindness and softness.

They don't love you. They will only bring you bad luck.

In the whole world, only I love you.

People like your parents should just go to hell! They all need to disappear!

- Don't say that. - I will.

They are bad people and liars! They need to all disappear!

Stop talking! You are only saying that because you don't have parents.

So you still choose them?

You said you would stay with me forever.

You are a liar. A big liar! You are a liar.

I had that dream again.

I probably dream of her because she is right.

My parents did abandon me.

But I'll never have the chance to tell her face-to-face that I am wrong.

Where am I?

Why am I in water?

Did I die?

Is this... heaven?

I wonder if he is getting better bathing in the medicinal water.

I should take a look.

Are you awake?

Why is there someone here? Is this not heaven?

She... who is she?

Why is it broken? I cannot move!

You are bathing in medicinal water. It can heal your injuries.

Heal my injuries? Why? I am dead.

I still cannot move.

Looks like he is not awake.

I will leave him to bathe longer.

My goodness. I cannot let her know that I am awake.

It will be embarrassing and awkward for her.

Thank goodness he is not awake.

She left already, right?

Mistress, I finished investigating him.

His name is Ling Qi Sa.

How is he now?

Even though he suffers from a concussion and external injuries

his life is not in danger.

- Is he bathing in medicinal water? - Yes, according your order.

He should be awake soon.

Will you tell me what happened?

- Tell you what? - What happened between you and him?

Or else why would you suddenly hire a stranger to be a butler?

Xiao Sa is not a stranger.

- Then who is he? - Well...

- He confessed to me. - Confess?

This is your fault.

You insisted that I go to the Christmas dance party.

You knew I hate crowds.

And I would leave the party.

At the park, two bad men rudely tried to pick me up.

Xiao Sa came by and scared them away.

He said he needs me.

And the moment he saw me he knew I was the person he was looking for.

He wants to capture my heart.

I think I am the reason Xiao Sa exists.

- Did you see... - No!

I did not see the woman you described.

He did see the Mistress, why did he deny it?

Your expression is telling me you don't believe me.

Of course I believe you.

But I have to confirm some details with him.

I am going to see if he is awake yet.

Maria.

I really do trust Qi Sa.

You've never met him before today, how can you trust him?

I am naturally smart.

The disadvantage is that I remember things too well.

I was first kidnapped when I was one.

The kidnapper is my nanny that took care of me for a year.

Where are you going?

Since then, whenever I smelled milk, I would want to puke.

When I was two, my ballet teacher kidnapped me.

After that, I would rather be teased that I am clumsy than dance.

When I was five, I was almost taken away in my housekeeper's trunk.

Keep going, you are doing so well!

Follow the drawn boxes. Keep going!

Yes, just like that. That's right.

Follow the boxes up. You are doing great!

When I was six

I almost drowned after being thrown into the pool by my security guard.

I started attending school when I was seven and life became worse.

In the end, my family donated money to build a prison for the government.

Because there are too many people that want to kidnap me.

I know that because you were kidnapped so often, you hate a lot of things

and do not want to interact with others.

Because everyone I knew tried to kidnap me.

They get close to me and treat me well because of an ulterior motive.

But Xiao Sa is not like that. He does not know my background.

He gave me his jacket when I was cold.

Because I called his name, he risked his life to save me.

If I cannot trust the people around me nor strangers

then I...

I would rather trust Xiao Sa, who treats me well without knowing my background.

I understand, Mistress.

Would you like to go out to see the sunrise at the beach?

Hey, who are you?

Xiao Sa, don't! He's Mistress's fiancé.

Big Brother, you're awesome. You got it right.

If I'm not happy, I'll give you gasoline with a match.

Match!

If he passes the test, he can stay!

Sorry, we now know of your intention towards the Mistress.

We can't let you be near her.
