All language subtitles for Tears on Fire S01E10

Zi Yuan, hurry. The top is going to collapse!

Zi Yuan, hold on tight!

Hurry!

What are you still waiting for?

Alright, turn the water on.

Lin Yi Yang!

Let me go, I have to save Yi Yang!

Go tell them if you want to.

Tell the media. Tell the investigators.

He sacrificed himself.

He was the most heroic of heroes.

Public servants can't form unions.

These people that are protesting and criticizing the fire department

are all violating the law.

"If you save one person today,"

"that person might be able to help five people."

"And these five people will be able to help even more people."

"Then this world will not be the same."

[Report on Amuz One fire released, fire prevention equipment failure]

Regarding the cause and responsibility of the Amuz One fire,

the various investigative units are still working on it.

CEO Sun, CEO sun...

CEO Sun, did you know that Amuz One's report already came out?

I am also very heartbroken by the loss of life.

But I want to stress that Amuz One was operated according to regulations.

But I heard your smoke and fire systems were not operational.

Was that really not an issue?

And many people said that the fire alarm did not go off at all.

The last fire safety inspection

was conducted by Tong An's firefighter Lin Yi Yang and we passed inspection.

How can they say I didn't comply with regulations?

Amuz One complied with all regulations.

If there was an issue, the fire department should bear all responsibility.

Bullshit.

What is he saying?

Furthermore, CEO Sun said

their entertainment complexes passed the inspections of all districts...

Captain! Captain!

Captain!

Captain! Captain!

Are the pamphlets organized?

I haven't touched it since last time.

Xiao Gao, is the poster ready?

Sir, don't be so serious about it.

The result will be the same in the end.

Yeah.

Antelope was very serious about it.

But they end up pushing all the blame on him.

Now he's dead and can't speak up for himself.

In the future, we shouldn't work so hard to put out fires.

Yeah, let's just watch out for ourselves next time we handle a call.

Then come out after two, three minutes to change our oxygen tanks, right?

Even if we do our jobs seriously, we'll still end up like Antelope.

Yeah.

Even After his death, the higher ups didn't protect him.

They let the media say what they want.

Next time we put out a fire, we can hide in engine 16 and sleep.

Engine 16 is so tall that no one can see into it.

Will Yi Yang be happy

if you do that?

In the face of death,

everyone is equal.

It doesn't matter if you're good or bad.

An enemy or a friend.

As long as they want to live,

even if there's a slim chance,

they should be rescued, right?

We have to ask ourselves why we became firefighters.

Every day,

we face life and death to save people from fires.

We have to face an unfair system.

We have to face unreasonable clamoring from people who don't understand our job.

Face their insults.

What is it for?

For the money?

To raise our family?

I'll admit that I was like that.

And you?

Guan Zhong?

Why did you become a firefighter?

Because you can save someone?

Because you'll look cool? Be a hero?

Like Iron Man or Batman?

And you, Jia Xuan?

Why did you become a firefighter?

Because you have stamina?

You were on the swim team.

And you, Xiao Gao?

You want to take care of your siblings so you became a firefighter.

Isn't that right?

No, it must be more than that.

There must be something buried in our hearts, like a seed.

That is the calling, duty, and pride of why we became firefighters.

This was something Yi Yang was insistent on.

We are all upset that Yi Yang has left us.

But the only thing we can do now is to raise our spirits

and find our starting points.

We have to play our role as firefighters.

Okay?

This is the last item Yi Yang touched before entering the scene of the fire.

[Lin Yi Yang]

It's the safety latch from his motion scout.

It has no owner now.

All media

and talk show hosts

all say that Yi Yang ought to be responsible for this fire.

Did you see it?

Han Cheng.

Do you need help?

No, no.

It looks like you're getting better.

Yeah.

This thing on my arm can come off tomorrow.

Oh yeah, our team bought this for you.

To nourish you back to health.

That's too kind.

And Guan Zhong said he'll come see you tomorrow.

How is everyone?

More or less okay.

Yi Yang's things have all been organized.

His mother took all of it back.

I'm not used to seeing his bunk so empty.

Zi Ling is not doing so well.

Captain wants her to rest more.

So her work has been divided among us.

Everyone must be tired with two less people on the team.

I will work on my physical rehabilitation and get out of here soon.

Thank you.

There is something I want to talk to you about before you return.

At the fire that day,

who were you talking to before you fell down the elevator shaft?

There is life or death danger any time we enter the scene of a fire.

Whether it's firefighting tactics,

or mental preparation,

we have to be stronger than the average person.

If today, the rescuer becomes the one that needs rescue,

then that is the greatest dereliction of duty of the Fire Department.

You are an outstanding firefighter.

If you cannot honestly face your own problems,

then you cannot rescue anyone else.

Han Cheng,

thank you.

Classmate, you look so familiar.

Have I seen you somewhere before?

Why are you here?

- Oh, then we'll be in touch.
- Wait!

You ought to say, "why haven't you visited in so long?"

"I have no one to eat breakfast with."

No, I ought to say,

"If you leave now, my heart will hurt. I'll need CPR."

Shut up or I'll make you OHCA.

Who treats their patients like this?

I do.

Your hot Americano.

Oh right, that...

Ah Qing and the others wrote you a card.

They want me to give it to you and for me to loudly read it to you.

Did I forget to bring it?

I'm sorry

about that incident with that doctor last time.

I went overboard.

I didn't know what to do.

So I just...

I shouldn't have been so mean towards you.

You think "I'm sorry" is enough for acting so extreme?

You know how hurt I was when you refused me with that attitude?

It will be the end for you if you dare refuse to eat breakfast with me like that again.

The media is gathered outside the City Council.

After the Amuz One fire,

City Councilor Wang's...

Let's hear City Councilor Wang speak.

City Councilor Wang...

Please accept out interview.

City Councilor Wang, please accept our interview.

Ciry Councilor Wang, please accept our interview.

Can you make a statement?

Is it true you're resigning?

Can you clarify the press release from earlier today?

Regarding the Amuz One fire,

it is exactly as stated in my press release.

They initially did not pass the fire inspection.

I received the request from CEO Sun to put pressure on the Fire Department.

That was how they dismissed the penalties written out by firefighter Lin Yi Yang.

I will bear the responsibilities I deserve.

From today,

I will resign from my position as City Councilor and accept investigations.

Is this your personal decision or were you directed to do so?

I hope CEO Sun will not continue to evade responsibility.

It degrades the work of these heroes.

You mean that CEO Sun is lying?

How many times did you speak for them?

Finally, I hope I can convince the government

to place more emphasis on the staffing and equipment issues facing firefighters.

Please increase their manpower.

Update their equipments.

And I hope the general public at the scene will not hurl abuse and blame.

Or direct the firefighters.

Because we never know what their assignment is at that moment.

Thank you.

- Can you speak more about it?
- City Councilor Wang...

[Corruption led to dismissed penalties, Wang Wen De resigns]

In response to Wang Wen De's accusations,

Amuz One's CEO, Sun Zheng Hong, pointed out

...all allegations are false.

...protests Wang Wen De's accusations.

...retains the right to sue.

Why arrange some meeting for me?

I haven't had a day off in so long.

I just want to take next Saturday off. Why can't I?

You're doing this on purpose, right?

You knew I was going on vacation next week.

So you're sending me to some meeting on purpose.

If not for Yi Yang,

I would be the one dead.

Anyways,

I am definitely taking next Saturday off.

Without my permission, you'll be abandoning your duties.

It's that simple.

Zi Yuan isn't back yet and Zi Ling can only be in the office. How will you take off?

Tell me how I can change the schedule. Tell me.

Many people in Tian Xin District already received warning slips.

Do you want one too?

Yes or no?

What's this?

Does that solve anything?

Did you think about how you'll raise your family if you lose your job?

You have two kids.

Who will raise them? Me?

Guo Sheng,

you specialize in fighting fire. There's nothing else you can do.

Don't be so down, don't be so rash.

I did arrange for you to go to that meeting.

But I can't do anything if you happen to be sick that day.

That will be a sick day.

It's not abandoning your duties.

I don't know what those protesting firefighters are thinking of.

They don't know how to protect themselves.

At least wear sunglasses and a mask.

They're so easily recognizable.

Give us the truth, request reform!

Give us the truth, request reform!

Give us the truth, request reform!

Miss, please support firefighters' reform.

Sir, please support our...

Please, please support us.

Thank you, thank you.

Sir, sir, please support firefighters' reform.

Please support us.

"Be on duty for 48 hours to get 24 hours break."

"Back breaking work of blood and sweat."

Yes. Firefighters in the U.S. gets three days off after one day of duty.

And they don't need to do random tasks like catching bees and snakes and finding keys.

In Hong Kong, it's two days off after one day of duty.

There are a lot of people without jobs.

Your salary is several tens of thousands a month.

And you complain about this and that.

- Quit if you're unhappy.
- Sir.

Sir!

From the Amuz One fire to now,

how many people still remember us?

How many people recall asking for the truth?

Regarding the corruption Wang Wen De spoke of,

I want to ask the mayor and the Fire Department.

When are they going to respond?

Don't hide, come out!

From the central to local governments,

they always say

there's no money for manpower and equipments.

But I want to ask the government.

How many presidents and CEOs did the government hire

for their foundations and businesses?

Their annual salaries are easily several million.

And they don't have money?

[Firefighters protest lack of manpower, old equipments]

The protesting firefighters say that they work nearly 400 hours a month.

Sometimes, they go 100-200 hours without days off or overtime.

The Fire Department has issued a response.

It said that overtime is up to the discretion of the local governments.

The central government has no input.

They call for the local governments to prioritize firefighters' budget.

The Fire Department also plans to increase hiring in the next three years.

They hope legislators--

Your supervisors say the same things every year.

What's the point of watching?

Why are you taking that? As a souvenir?

I'm not that much of a weirdo.

You don't need it anymore. I'm tossing it for you.

Uncle Zhang.

Dad. Doesn't mom have a cold?

Tell her not to make these.

I made these.

Your injuries are so serious,

your good friend is gone,

are you really considering continuing with this career?

Even now, your mom

often maintains the piano at home.

She hopes that you can play the piano again.

If you really don't wish to play, then that's fine.

But why must you be in such a dangerous line of work?

Dad.

Do you know why I want to be a firefighter?

Because I didn't save the person I wanted to save the most.

That person is my brother.

Do you know what caused that fire?

Do you know how he died?

I'll tell you.

Back then, the one playing with fire was me.

It wasn't him.

I started that fire accidentally.

He just came in to help me put it out.

But we couldn't put it out, no matter what we did.

Later, he passed out in front of me.

I was just too scared at that time.

So I lied to you and mom.

All of it was my fault.

I caused that fire.

I caused my brother's death.

From that day on,

I ask myself every day,

why is he dead instead of me?

You and mom also think that, right?

You and mom also think that, right?

Why is the one dead my brother instead of me?

Why?

Why?

[Qi Qi, happy birthday! Your uncles and aunt love you.]

I really cannot live like that anymore.

Are your teammates really more important than me and the kids?

I have never thought that.

But that is what your actions prove.

I beg you

to go work at my brother's company, alright?

It's not that I'm unwilling to work there.

It's just not the right time for it.

Then when is the right time?

I don't know.

I can't leave when the division's moral is at their lowest.

They are like my brothers.

I can't abandon them when they need me the most, understand?

Alright, there's really nothing special.

But I do have two good news.

First, Zi Yuan is back.

Zi Yuan, welcome back.

The other is that we have two new members joining our division.

Ah Won, Ah Zhou, stand.

Say hello to our seniors.

Alright, please sit.

Everyone behind you is your senior.

You can learn from them all.

- Xiao Gao?
- Yes.

You've risen in rank. Teach them well.

The other is Jia Xuan, but he's not here today. You tell him.

- Okay.
- Each of you will be in charge of a rookie.

Teach them what they need to know.

What you've learned in school are just basic theory.

It is completely different here.

This is the real thing.

You have to listen to mom.

Dad, you're not coming with us?

Why did it take you so long to come back for a re-check?

Do you still often have trouble sleeping?

Sometimes.

If it's simply insomnia and your situation has improved,

then I'll prescribe the same medication.

Take it when you need it.

Okay, Mr. Zhang, please wait outside for a moment.

Doctor,

I actually have another issue.

I want you to help me find a psychologist.

I'm back.

[Thank you, godmother. Without you, there wouldn't be me. I will work hard to grow up well.]

Miss, are you alright?

I'm pregnant.

Here, relax.

Breathe with me.

Okay, bear down.

One, two, three, four, five.

Zi Ling,

this is my first time writing to you.

I never thought it would be a will.

I hope you will never receive it.

I suddenly realized that, if you received this letter,

it will mean that I will never get to know what you wrote.

I don't know if you would be like me.

I have many things I want to say, but don't know how to say them.

I am very luck and happy that I can be with you.

I want to tell you

don't work yourself too hard.

It's very tiring and hard to maintain such a tough exterior.

My heart will ache for you.

If I die one day while rescuing someone,

you must forget the tragic way I died.

To have heroically sacrificed my life is very cool.

There is nothing more worthwhile than that.

More importantly,

I love you.

You must live well.

I believe

we will meet each other again in a more beautiful place.

At that point, you should be an expert at making fish soup.

Yi Yang.

I've accomplished what I promised you.

What else do you need to talk about?

I feel bad about

destroying your political career.

It's what I owe Yi Yang.

It's what I ought to do.

So what did you want to talk about?

I formed an alliance with the families of a few firefighters that died on duty.

We want to push for legislation to reform firefighting regulation.

Will you be able to help?

Former Director Yang, Yi Yang's mother and brother,

and the families of those that died in this fire are all in.

My public office has been shut down.

I am also starting negotiations with investigators.

How will I be able to help you?

I want to get in touch with your party's leaders.

Convince them to help us introduce the legislation.

It's good to want reforms.

But the Amuz One fire has already faded from people's memory.

I'm afraid it wouldn't be as easy as you imagined.

I know there will be difficulties.

But it's something I want to do.

Aren't you afraid of becoming a headache for your supervisors?

You're not afraid of them picking on or penalizing you?

A firefighter once asked me for a favor.

He was penalized for attending a protest.

Yi Yang gave it his all.

I also want to give my all.

Okay, then we'll meet next Wednesday at the legislator's office.

Thank you.

[Immediate Legislation for Reformation of Firefighters' Employment Rights.]

What if they can't find their insurance card?

"Umm" what? Are you going to save them?

- Yes.
- Yes.

Yes? You need to think for so long?

Yes, sir.

Ma'am.

Not bad.

We'll rely on you guys.

-Not really...
- Not really...

- Go for it.
- Okay.

- Rescue...rescue...
- Jia Xuan, Ah Won, rescue.

Hurry, stop spacing out.

Run, run.

Have you figured out the knot you learned yesterday?

Not yet?

Practice in the afternoon. There's a test this evening, okay?

Understood.

In how many seconds do you have to deploy when the alarm goes off during the day?

I forgot.

It's 80!

It's 120 in the evening.

You have to move fast. Don't cause our district to get a demerit.

This is an old customer.

You have to salute him when you see him.

Salute him?

Yeah.

It must be that drunkard that collapsed on that park road.

He hits people when he's drunk.

...transporting in an ambulance,

what do you do at a red light?

Drive through it.

- Drive through it?
- Xiao Gao, Guan Zhong.

Get the ropes. We'll practice on the roof.

Yes, alright.

Han Cheng,

You mean the roof?

Yeah.

What, afraid of heights?

All the more reason to train.

I was also afraid of heights and Han Cheng trained me.

What did you say to your brother?

Not much.

I told him

not to worry about mom and dad.

I will take good care of them.
