Game Winning Hit (比赛开始)

Every day

I miss you

And you only

I can't

Get to see you

When we were close

To each other

We were just like

Mandarin ducks

But there's no doubt that

We'll be separated from each other

Even the Cowherd

And the Weaving maid

Reunite

Once a year

Yet you

Left me

And never returned

Leaving me

Alone

And all by myself

My darling, here's to you.

Cheers.

Grandpa!

What's up?

Grandpa, Xiao Wu said she's staying with us tonight.

She's not coming back to sleep.

Okay, got it.

Grandpa, I want some peanuts.

Here you go.

Grandpa, Xiao Wu said not to worry.

What's to worry about?

She's an adult. She won't go missing.

Okay, Grandpa. I'm leaving then.

Okay.

Hold on.

Is the coach at your store?

No.

Okay, go home first.

-Bye, Grandpa. -Goodbye.

That's odd.

Where did Qi Sheng go?

Is baseball

really that important?

More important than your own life?

I didn't know that you were willing to

sacrifice this much for baseball.

Selling blood?

Just so the coach can get paid?

But this coach

is an impostor.

Is it too late

to tell you that I'm sorry?

Will you forgive me?

Will everyone in the village forgive me?

Will the kids forgive me?

Will Grandpa forgive me?

Will Bu Wa forgive me?

I can't even forgive myself.

But still...

I have to tell you...

I'm sorry.

Why is Qi Sheng up so early?

Where did he go?

Qi Sheng!

He didn't even turn off the light.

What's this?

Bu Wa!

Grandpa.

What happened?

The coach is missing.

All his stuff is gone. He left a note, but I don't understand what it says.

"Grandpa, Bu Wa,

please forgive me. I have to leave Isozaki

for reasons that I can't say.

I'm really torn apart

by what happened to Er Mao's dad.

You worked so hard to pool this money together,

but I still can't accept it.

Because you are all too nice to me,

I have nothing I can give back in return.

I'll borrow 50 NT dollars for my travel expenses.

The rest,

please give it to the team.

Best, Qi Sheng."

Why would he leave all of a sudden?

He must have gone to Taitung's hospital for his mom.

This kid is real stubborn.

Even though the money came from us selling blood,

this was done under our own will.

It is perfectly justifiable for a coach to get paid.

He didn't need to blame himself.

He only took 50 dollars for bus fare,

leaving the rest for the team.

It is very honorable of him.

It looks like Qi Sheng is just like Ma Yao.

They are both good coaches who are willing to sacrifice for the team.

Grandpa,

let's go to the station.

Maybe he's still there.

-Okay. Take my car. It's faster. -Okay.

ISOZAKI

This money came from them selling blood.

Good morning, Coach!

Morning.

What's up? You finally going to Taitung?

No.

I'm going to Yilan.

Yilan?

Fifty dollars?

What a large bill.

Here you go.

Hey!

Your change.

Hey, Coach.

Are you okay?

I'm okay.

Driver!

Stop the bus!

Driver, stop the bus!

Please open the door.

Qi Sheng.

Bu Wa, what's up?

Qi Sheng,

Grandpa is also here to say goodbye.

Grandpa.

Qi Sheng, come back soon.

The team can't make it without a coach.

They are competing in two days.

Please come back soon.

Take this ball.

Please think of us whenever you look at it.

Qi Sheng,

the team can't make it without you.

Isozaki Little League will be waiting for you.

Excuse me. The bus is leaving soon.

Grandpa, Bu Wa,

goodbye.

Thank you.

Coach...

Coach, are you happy to see us?

Coach, are you taking us to the game?

Coach, you have to come back.

Coach, without you, we'll be crushed by the other team.

Yes, Coach. We don't want to lose anymore.

Yes, Coach. I'll give you some steamed buns. My treat.

Coach, we'll wait for you to come back to take us to the game.

Coach, we want to win the championship.

You have to come back and take us to the game.

Coach, we want to win the championship.

You have to come back and take us to the game.

I'm sorry.

A Su, A Yuan,

A Bin, A Ron, Da Lu

Er Mao, Nana...

Lala,

and Big Bear.

I'm sorry.

I can't go to the games with you.

Grandpa.

Grandpa!

Why are you here? Aren't you going back to Taipei?

Grandpa,

I came back to ask you one question.

What did Dad do?

Why won't you forgive him?

If you want to leave, leave! Don't drag it on like this.

Your dad is no human being. I don't want to talk about him.

You are just like him. None of you are good people.

It's Dad that you are mad at, not me.

Why are you always picking on me?

Grandpa, I am your granddaughter.

Why are you treating me like an enemy?

You are even nicer to Qi Sheng than to me.

I don't get it. I really don't.

We are family.

Why are you harboring so much hate?

Why do I harbor so much hate for my family?

It was your dad who did me wrong,

and did your grandma wrong.

He did the whole village wrong.

I get so worked up talking about him!

Grandpa,

what else...

can I do,

to get you to come back to Taipei with me?

You've been here for a while.

Do you think

this place doesn't need my help.

No.

They need me here.

Maybe one day

I'll be too old

to help everyone,

to speak on their behalf,

to take photos for them.

Even when that day has come, I still won't leave here.

Do you know why?
