(HIStory5: Love In The Future)

(Chapter 1)

Is this restaurant good?

Bo-Wei, you made it.

- Thank you. - I brought you what you asked for.

What an amazing errand runner!

Brilliant.

No biggie.

Here you go.

Jie, these limited edition baseball cards are for you.

There was a very long queue.

Seriously?

Did you really buy them?

Let me take a look.

Hui, the super long scarf is for you.

Cool. Thank you.

Thank you...

Just give me a shout

whenever you need anything.

You should totally be on Hsiao-Yen's TV show,

called "Super Sunday".

You should go and apply to be the person who helps people find things.

You are a good fit.

Good idea.

It sounds like a job with good money.

You will earn a lot.

All right. I need to go do some shopping.

Right.

Excuse me. Thank you.

Ladies and gentlemen,

it's the last day of 1999.

Everyone is excited about

the year 2000

and the coming of the 21st century.

However, some people are concerned about

the Y2K problem,

or the coming of the apocalypse.

Let's talk to those who are celebrating the New Year's Eve

in font of the city hall

and ask them what they think.

Nice material.

The Y2K problem and the apocalypse.

They've been talking about these in the news.

Are they real?

None of my business.

My personal philosophy is

to enjoy the moment and live in the present.

Just be happy.

You know what?

When celebrating New Year’s Eve tonight,

I'll wrap the scarf

around Mei's neck and mine.

We count down together.

3, 2, 1.

Happy new year!

I was just wondering why you needed a scarf.

Yeah.

Well, would you like to go celebrate

in front of the city hall

with us tonight?

Of course, we would.

Ok.

How can I miss the coming of a new century?

I think they've invited May Day,

Fish Leong and Richie Jen to perform.

They are all superstars.

Well...

I've got an idea.

I'll ask Mei to bring her girlfriends, too.

How's that?

Nice.

Ok.

Join us.

One for each.

Bo-Wei Ho.

What do you think? Interested?

Come on. Join us.

I'll introduce some girls to you.

What do you think?

No need.

I've got more errands to run.

It's double pay today.

Also, I've got

my darling, Jin-Hua, already.

I gotta go now.

Bo-Wei.

Jin-Hua?

Who's Jin-Hua?

A senior student?

Jin-Hua Ho-Li, time for dinner.

Wei.

What brings you here?

That's because you never eat regularly.

Are you not hungry?

I've already eaten.

I bought dinner especially for you.

I've got more errands to run.

There's a big temperature difference between day and night.

It's cold in the morning and evening.

Be sure to bundle up.

How about I make you some

stewed pork ribs

with medicinal herbs tonight?

Awesome. Thanks, grandma.

No worries.

I'll be home late today.

Wei.

During the day you go to school,

which is exhausting enough.

You even have to be a delivery guy at night.

Don't work so hard, ok?

All right. I gotta go now.

Ok.

Be careful.

Be safe.

Ok.

Be careful.

Ok.

- Come home early. - Ok.

I'll make you some stewed pork ribs with medicinal herbs.

Stewed pork ribs with medicinal herbs.

Yes.

Ok.

Don't ride too fast.

Many people are gathering in front of the city hall now,

celebrating the coming of the year 2000 with us.

Yes. Some singers

are about to perform, too.

Yes, everyone has some wishes

for the new millennium.

Keep passing it down...

That's right.

Let's count down together, shall we?

18, 17, 16, 15...

14, 13, 12, 11...

10, 9, 8, 7, 6...

5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

Happy new year!

To all the audience, we wish you a happy new year.

Happy new year!

Happy new year!

I wish I can save enough money to buy a house.

I wish my grandma stays healthy.

Lastly...

That is not...

Drink first, and you'll be friends.

Ok.

Drink first, and you'll be friends.

Drink it.

Cheers.

Happy new year.

Nevermind.

Wei.

It's late. Why are you not home yet?

I left the stewed pork ribs with medicinal herbs in the steam cooker.

Have some when you are home. Grandma is worried for you.

Be safe when you ride your scooter.

Where am I?

Taipei?

Why is everyone wearing a mask?

Sir?

Sir, are you all right?

Do you need to go to the hospital?

Let me help you up.

Thank you.

Gosh. I'm screwed.

How did I bring him to the year of 2022?

I'm not a food deliveryman.

I'm a courier.

Here you go. Wear a mask.

Everyone should be careful during the pandemic.

Thank you.

Make sure you go to the hospital.

Why am I dressing like this?

It's not my scooter.

That's weird. How do I turn this thing on?

My glasses are gone.

What happened to my hair?

That guy in the mirror...

Looks like... me?

But maybe it isn't?

I'm not dreaming...

Could it be...

the apocalypse?

Pick up the phone...

Si-Chi Lu, pick up the phone.

Pick up the phone, Si-Chi Lu!

(You have reached the voicemail of the person you are trying to call)

(Please leave a message after the tone)

Do you think I can't do anything

if you don't pick up the phone?

Hello, dear guest of room 528.

What can I do for you?

I'm dizzy.

I can't breathe.

I need to go to the ER.

Sir, you dropped your wallet.

Why do ID cards look like this now?

The person in this ID looks just like me.

Johnny Dai.

Your mobile phone.

The other guy saw you drop it.

It's a mobile phone?

Why is it so big and flat?

Listen.

I experienced some minor professional issues,

and brought you here by accident.

You are not supposed to be here.

You know where I'm supposed to be, right?

What happened?

Who am I?

Where am I?

Wait. Calm down.

Bro, I'll definitely help you.

If I were you,

I would've lost my mind.

So what exactly happened?

It's a long story.

I'll tell you everything.

I was...

Hang on.

Hello? Yes.

It's me.

Sure. I'll be right there.

Sir?

You haven't even finished explaining, sir.

What should I do now?

Am I really in Taipei?

Why does it look so different from how I remember it?

I didn't know there's a Ferris wheel in Taipei.

Good afternoon.

Let's check out

the weather of the day.

Here is the weather forecast for Taiwan.

The second wave of plum rain starts at this week...

2022?

There may be an unstable weather condition.

This is just like the movie "A Chinese Odyssey"

I've traveled through time!

The central mountain range blocks much of the rainfall...

Transform!

Mr. Hai.

What took you so long?

Mr. Hai.

You just called and said you needed to go to the ER.

Are you feeling unwell?

I don't need a ride. I'll go there by myself.

Mr. Hai, you can't just go out like this.

Please tell us

how you are feeling right now.

I feel dizzy, nauseous and weak.

My whole body feels unwell.

I need to go to the ER this instant.

Don't try to stop me.

Mr. Hai, please follow the epidemic prevention measures.

Or you'll be committing a crime.

I'm emotionally unwell now.

I could have a stroke or heart attack anytime.

If something did happen to me,

could you be responsible for that?

Mr. Hai,

I understand that

quarantine depression could happen.

I suggest

you do some yoga and exercise,

listen to music, read a book or watch some TV series.

Just relax.

Bright Pu once said:

"Wherever you go, you leave traces.

Wherever you live, you have neighbors."

That's bizarre.

My home looks different.

This is the right place.

Who is it?

Grandma.

I'm Wei.

Open the door for me.

You have the wrong place.

It's Number 289, Zhiyen 2nd Road, right?

Yes, that's right.

Well...

Do you know a granny

who sells stinky tofu?

We are the Ho family.

Well I'm not. You've got the wrong place.

How could this happen?

My home is gone. My grandma is missing.

What should I do?

The year of 2022.

My grandma should be nearly 95 years old.

She might have passed away.

Hello?

Where's the food I ordered?

What food order? Who are you?

What do you mean?

I've waited for more than an hour.

Where have you been?

What's the rush?

It won't kill you to wait.

Are you crazy? How dare you talk to me like that!

Watch out. I may give you a bad rating.

I hope that you get dumped every single day!

I wish that you stay single.

All of your family members stay single.

Hey. I don't even know you.

Why are you cursing me?

You didn't deliver the food on time.

How dare you be so mean?

You know what? I'll make a customer complaint.

It's just a customer complaint.

Bring it on!

I'm here anyways.

I have to find a way to survive

and find my way back

to my darling, Jin-Hua.

Oh, Johnny Dai is a boxed lunch deliveryman.

This belongs to the guy who called.

He has been waiting for the food.

That's why he was so mad.

Hello.

Hello, Johnny Dai.

The customer from the quarantine hotel would like to cancel the order.

He asked for compensation from you.

Compensation?

No way. I'll deliver it right now.

Where is "Quarantine Hotel"?

Ok.

Thank you.

Quarantine?

What a weird name.

How do I start this thing...?

So simple!

Jade Emperor said I'm not supposed to show my real identity.

I'm so proud of my beautiful disguise.

Sir...

Excuse me. You have to put

the food you need to deliver on this table outside.

During the pandemic,

we'll help you bring the food to your customer.

Pandemic?

Oh, bird flu.

Only birds will get it.

It's none of my business.

I mean COVID-19.

Have you heard of this medical term?

COVID-19?

It's all right.

It is far more

transmissible than a bird flu.

Come on. Your hands.

Let me sanitize them with alcohol spray.

No.

My hands aren't poisoned!

Bo-Wei Ho.

Once I use this "return spray",

I get to

send you back with my power.

It's a part of the epidemic prevention measures.

Everyone has to do it.

Come on.

That's inconvenient.

Stop being naughty.

Gosh. We are not allowed to force human beings.

Will I get a bad performance review

because of you?

It's for Mr. Hai from room number 528.

I have to get in

to charge him.

Don't worry. He paid through the app.

He told me that

he doesn't want his food anymore.

How could he do this to me?

He rushed me to bring it over.

Now he doesn't want it anymore?

Anyways,

the food is right here.

He can't ask for a compensation.

Wait.

If he doesn't receive it,

I won't get my money, right?

I think so.

What are you doing?

I didn't save Mr. Hai's number.

Would you call him for me, please?

You have no other option, right?

Hello, Mr. Hai.

Your food is here.

Video call?

What is a video call?

I think Mr. Hai would like to scold you face-to-face.

Here.

What kind of technology is this?

Did you just zone out?

Wait...

Can you see me, too?

Of course. I asked for a video call.

Are you mental?

I'm so sorry.

Sir. Sorry, it's my fault.

Please give me another chance.

Don't apologize.

I just wanted to see

what the person who cursed me look like.

I know and remember your face now.

I'll definitely give you a bad rating.

Please don't do that, sir.

I have such

a great admiration for you

I'm terribly sorry.

I really need a good rating.

Where's the attitude you had earlier?

Sir, you have no idea.

I had a car accident on the way

and didn't waste my time to go to the hospital.

It was not my

true intention to curse you out.

If you still insist to cancel the order,

there's nothing I can do.

You didn't mention it earlier.

How would I know you had a car accident?

I did fall from my scooter.

You know what?

If you need any help in the future,

I'll definitely help you out.

Ok. Deal.

I'll let you know

when I need anything.

Sure. No problem.

About the food order...

Since you got hurt, I forgive you.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you.

Sir, are you done?

My arms are sore.

Sorry.

Clever guy.

Maybe he could help me find Si-Chi Lu.
