[Definitely Not Today]
[Episode 3]
(I don't know why,)
(but Zhi Liao reminds me of my family.)
(The sense of uneasiness)
(is growing stronger.)
(What surprised me)
(is that this person)
(actually made me feel that I can trust him.)
You're not safe with me.
I'm not safe?
(If I don't follow him,)
(he won't live for more than two days.)
(If I take her with me,)
(she's the one who won't survive for more than two days.)
What are you staring at?
You must have friends or relatives, right?
It's too late.
I don't want to bother them.
We can discuss this tomorrow.
Let's get through tonight.
Do you know why I'm here?
Qiang.
Don't be angry.
[Qiang; Owns a bar; Severe OCD; Sets the rules; Father of the gang; Loves birds.]
Qiang.
I really didn't know!
I had something to take care of in the afternoon.
So I asked Jin Jie to take the bird to the vet.
After that,
he vanished together with the bird!
I can't find him either,
Qiang.
I really shouldn't have lost your bird.
Save your explanations.
[Registration]
[Huang; Likes late night shows; Owns a small hotel; Lives in an urban fringe village; Hides information]
One room or two?
One.
(One room?)
Registration.
Your ID.
You.
I'll leave once he has settled in.
That makes you a visitor.
Visitors must be registered.
Visitors must be registered?
So must those who deliver food register?
Must the police register?
Must everyone who walks through the door register?
Aren't you clever?
205.
(Hello.)
(The number you have dialed is not available.)
(Please dial again later.)
(Sorry, the number you have dialed is not available.)
(Please dial again later.)
(Sometimes,)
(you will doubt your own memory.)
(Or...)
(you will doubt whether the good memories you have)
(are created by the same person.)
(You wonder whether you don't deserve the good things)
(that exist in this world.)
(They were clearly in the wrong.)
(Yet, why am I always the one)
(running away?)
I'm sorry.
(I don't understand why these awful things)
(keep happening to me.)
(It's as if)
(everything is made to fall because of gravity.)
(Now,)
(I really want to act against gravity.)
Hey, loser.
Have you always been alone?
What?
Kissed a girl before?
Want to try?
(My heart.)
(It's beating so quickly.)
(As someone who has been finding ways to make it stop beating,)
(something like this)
(is clearly not part of the plan.)
(Zhi Liao is ruining my peace.)
(To me,)
(this is very troubling.)
Can I get one more room?
Didn't I say that I'll leave once he settles in?
I'll leave now.
(I beg you.)
(Come after me.)
(Put your arms on my shoulder and say something.)
(Anything will do.)
(Hotel Sincerity)
(I shouldn't do anything outside of my plan,)
(let alone fantasize about what I've never had.)
(Possessing something foreshadows losing it one day.)
(This is something that I've always known since young.)
(Yet, at that moment,)
(what was that intense feeling?)
(I should have been like that person,)
(lying dead at home.)
(Stupid old man! Let go!)
(Zhi Liao's voice?)
(Let go!)
(Don't touch me!)
(Now you try to be virtuous?)
(It's Zhi Liao.)
(Sounds like she's in trouble.)
(Huh?)
(Who is this?)
(I'll explain later.)
(Later, Zhi Liao told me)
(that this arose)
(because of me.)
(One hour earlier) (Because of me.)
(Because I didn't stop her and say something,)
(she decided)
(that the next person to enter the hotel)
[Xiao Dong; Skater boy; Secret Unknown] (would be her new friend.)
[Volkswagen valet; Work ID: 89953; Works at night] (would be her new friend.)
(After playing around happily,)
(they started to drink.)
(And that's how)
(we got to this scene.)
What did I say?
You should let your hair down sometimes.
It's good for you.
Don't think those who drink look decent.
Once they're wasted and get in the car,
they either sit in a daze
or make a racket.
Once, there was
this girl
who got so wasted.
So I
took many photos of her.
That kind of photos.
She will never ever find out
that she's been exposed online.
What did you say?
Don't you think that you've crossed the line?
Crossed the line?
Does this count?
Now you try to be virtuous?
When you came up and spoke to me,
I already understood.
You came to me to blow off some steam, right?
The two of us.
Aren't we the same?
Not really.
Where are you going?
I...
I'm going
to get water.
Don't move!
What a scene.
Not just seeking pleasure but wrecking things and making a din.
You! ID!
Take it out!
What about you?
Do you think you can muddle through this again?
I really don't have it.
You don't have it?
Then you can go explain to the police!
(Let go! Don't touch me!)
(Zhi Liao is someone who can create trouble anywhere, any time.)
Don't think I can't deal with you!
I know how to
deal with rogues like you!
Stop there! Don't run!
Stop!
You rascal!
(The motorcycle...)
He sure escaped quickly.
Don't touch me, old man!
Speak!
How much are you going to compensate me?
I already said
that it wasn't me!
Huh?!
Don't think I don't know what business you were up to in there.
You have the cheek to deny.
(I wonder.)
(When faced with a situation like this,)
(how do people normally resolve it?)
I already said that I didn't do anything!
You're mistaken!
She's my girlfriend.
Really?
My girlfriend's friend.
Come here, come, come.
Stand here.
You said you are her friend?
So are you going to pay for
what the guy wrecked?
Why should we pay?
Talking back still?
Hurry, pay up.
(You dare?)
(Idiot.)
This isn't enough.
That's all I have.
Take off your socks.
(Socks?)
You don't want to?
Then let's go!
Let's go to the police station!
(Do it.)
That's right.
You should've just cooperated earlier.
No, no.
One more.
That one.
Don't you dare to move.
Can we go now?
Go, go.
Hello, Qiang.
Why is Zhi Liao with you?
She was here doing that kind of business.
I saw her
and recognized her as the girl with Jin Jie.
Where is Jin Jie?
I didn't see him.
He won't answer when I call.
Shui previously told me
to let him know
if I hear from Jin Jie.
(Jin Jie?)
(The guy got knocked off at home?)
(The guy on the phone)
(is probably looking for him.)
(Sounds like)
(even bigger trouble.)
Shall I
send this girl over to you?
Is she the only one there with you?
No.
She's not alone.
She is with two men.
Hooked up with them for the night.
(I'm finished.)
Two men...
It's okay.
Boss.
What did Qiang say?
To serve them well.
Why did you help me?
If I were you, I wouldn't have done so.
This thing
fell off from the motorcycle.
This is Qiang's bird.
Then how should we
deal with it?
Take it with us.
(This is the second day since I've met Zhi Liao.)
(Who knows what trouble I'll get into after this.)
(But I'm starting to believe)
(that luck and fate do exist in this world.)
Don't forget.
We offer good service.
(Qiang, who takes things for granted,)
(will come to regret his sloppy decision tomorrow.)
(Meanwhile, I'm starting to wonder)
(whether there is any special meaning)
(behind saving Zhi Liao at the river that day.)
