The Cage of Love

Episode 1

Madam. Yu has grown so big.

Congratulations!

Thank you. Thank you.

Wishing our Brother Jiang (Jiang Yu's dad) good fortune and longevity.

Thank you. -Wishing the Ling Long Dye Factory a thriving

and prosperous business. - Thank you.

Thank you. - Don't mention it.

Congratulations, Young Master -Mr. Ma Ke (Mark),

Mr. Wei Lian (William), please go inside.

Okay.

Big Brother. Why are all of their names so strange?

Dad says China will need to open its doors to do business in the future.

Everyone will need to collaborate with foreigners so that's why they changed their names to something foreign.

It will make it easier to do business with foreigners in the future. Do you understand?

Your big brother knows so much.

Yu Er, all of the guests are almost here. Why has your dad not returned yet?

The workers developed a new dye. Dad has been at the dyehouse for the past few days,

waiting for the dye to come out of the vat. He doesn't have time to care about celebrating his birthday.

Mom, don't worry. I'll go look for him right now.

Okay. Okay. Okay. Go quickly and hurry back.

Master, look! Success! It's all a success!

Rich in colour and soft to the touch. Looks like this dye is really good.

Agreed. -We're successful.

Everyone, you've all worked hard.

Master, you've worked hard.

Mrs. Zhou

Master.

How is the head of your family (husband)?

Thank you Master for your concern. The doctor said that he has a chronic disease.

He has to be healed slowly.

Right. Right. Has to be treated slowly and slowly cured.

If you need money urgently, remember to tell me.

We can give you an advance on your wages.

Thank you, Master. -Master! Master!

Master! Master!

Master, shouldn't we be heading back?

It's your birthday today. They'll be starting the banquet soon.

Oh. Right. Right. Right.

Then I'll leave the rest to you guys. Tonight, give everyone additional portions of dinner.

Congrats, Master.

Get up! -Congrats, Master.

Excuse me, Officer. May I ask, what are you doing?

Timing and subtitles brought to You by Gone with the Shirt Team @ Viki

Chief Wu, you honour us with your presence.

This is...

I received a secret report.

It said that Ling Long Dye Factory was selling dog meat as mutton. (to assume a false identity to conceal one's true purpose)

On the surface, it looks like a dye business.

But privately, it is dealing opium.

Search this place! -Wait!

Chief Wu. -Let's not let personal interests interfere with public duties.

Search! -Yes, Sir!

Go there. Quick. -Follow me. -Yes.

This way.

Search carefully. Quick.

Get out of the way. Get out of the way. Search carefully.

Chief Wu. For generations while in Huzhou, Ling Long has always been a legitimate business.

This is a well-known fact.

You two go to that side!

Sir.

Sir.

The quality is superior.

Let's talk.

Chief Wu, I repeat, I'm innocent.

This must be someone's plan to frame me.

Please, Chief Wu. I implore you to distinguish right and wrong.

Help me seek justice. -In this world, in fact, there's no justice.

If you want justice, it's really simple.

I'll let you use your Jiang family's most important item in exchange (for it).

Alright.

In this room, what do you fancy?

Take your pick.

I want your Jiang family's secret formula for dyeing.

Wu Hong Da,

as a dignified Chief,

you came here to Ling Long to put on such a show.

Just for this?

If you're willing to give me the secret formula,

I can save you from prison.

But if you refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit, (refuse to do something, but in the end, was forced to do it)

I will make you lose both honour and fortune, confiscate your property, and execute your family.

This trafficking opium issue, if I say it's big, it's big.

If I say it's small, it'll be small.

You're a smart man. You should know which to choose.

Dream on!

Get out! Get out! -My things are still inside.

Let me through. Let me through.

Let me through. Aunt, what's going on? Where's my dad?

He's still inside.

Let me in.

Dad!

Dad!

Dad! Wake up, Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

Dad, wake up!

Dad!

Opium

is a very strong drug.

It brings people to bad thoughts and evil deeds.

Smoking opium turns a most benevolent person into a monster.

Because Jiang Wen Yuan was using his company to smuggle opium,

he must be severely punished.

According to the law, he must be executed.

Jiang Wen Yuan, fearing punishment for his crimes, committed suicide.

Therefore, the Ling Long Dye Factory and the Jiang family's fortune must all be forfeited.

The dye factory will be closed immediately. All workers will be dismissed at once.

Quick. Let's go. Let's go.

Remove everything. -Yes, sir! Removing them.

Hurry up. Hurry up. -What are you doing? Stop!

Stop!

You can't do this.

Get out! -Yu! -Get out! Get out!

Mom! Mom!

Old Master (Husband). -Let go of us!

I can't leave!

Get out! Get out!

Get out. -Mom!

Old Master! Old Master!

Mom!

This is my house. What right do you have to chase us out?

This is Jiang's household!

Jiang Wen Yuan committed a deadly sin, causing us to lose our Jiang's reputation

Now the Clan Leader is driving you out of the family tree!

You have no right to live here anymore.

That's right. Go. Get out. -My dad was framed.

I beg every Uncle to speak justice for us.

Get out. Go.

Why waste your breath on them? -Mom! -Go!

Go away. Nothing to see here.

They broke the clan rules.

Dad, hang on for a few more days.

Once Mom gets this month's pay, she'll be able to buy your medicine.

Once you take the medicine, you'll slowly get better.

Dad. Are you alright, Dad? Dad, hang on.

Just hang on, Dad.

Mom! Mom, Dad's medicine has run out.

There's no medicine.

There's no wages.

Ling Long's gone too.

What?

Dad.

Dad. Endure it.

Mom, I'm going out to earn some money.

Shao Tian!

Mom. -Fei Fei.

You these black-hearted people. My only son, due to inhaling the smoke,

became someone that is not like a human or a ghost!

You- -Yu

What's wrong, Yu?

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

I'll bring you to see a doctor. Otherwise, it'll leave a scar.

No need, Mom. I'm fine.

This scar, is a scar caused by Wu Hong Da destroying our family.

Let it be. It'll be a reminder for me of how Dad died.

Mom, I'm fine.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Young Master Ma! Young Master Ma!

Young Master Ma. -I told you I don't have any money to lend you, Zhou Shao Tian.

Everybody knows your family is poor. Moreover, you have a sickly father.

Lending you money would be like hitting a dog with a meat bun, never to return.

Young Master Ma, I'll just borrow one silver dollar

to buy medicine for my dad. I'll definitely think of a way to pay it back.

Young Master Ma, I'm begging you. I just need one silver dollar.

Money... I do have it.

However, only if you are willing to crawl between my legs

and bark like a dog. If you please me, then I'll lend you the money.

You...

Crawl! Crawl! Hurry up!

Crawl! Crawl! Hurry up and crawl!

Crawl! Crawl! He's crawling. Good.

Crawl! Hurry up!

Hurry up! What're you doing? Quick!

Hurry up and crawl. Go faster.

Good. That was good.

This is so fun. -Alright. Bark like a dog. Bark like a dog.

Bark like a dog.

Good. That was good.

This is too much fun. -Come here and see. There's actually someone who, for a silver dollar,

is willing to be a dog.

Young Master Ma, my money.

If you want money, there's none. But I can reward you with something else.

Come. Give this fall-in-water-dog a good thrashing. (someone who is down on their luck)

Take this, fall-in-water-dog. Hit him. Harder.

Hit him. Harder.

We'll beat you up, fall-in-water-dog.

Young Master Ma. Young Master Ma, I just need one silver dollar

to buy medicine for my dad. Just one silver dollar can save my dad's life.

I just need one silver dollar. I'll definitely pay it back, Young Master Ma.

Let's go.

Young Master Ma. Young Master Ma. Please lend me one silver dollar.

I wish to save my dad's life.

Screw you.

I'm begging you, Young Master Ma.

Please give me one silver dollar.
