Snow Flower and the Secret Fan Page #3

My son!

My son! My son!

Nina, it's me.

I don't have Sophia's address yet,

but I have found out Arthur is in Shanghai...

...and has just opened a trendy nightclub

called Club Upside-Down.

I'll text you the details later.

Let this groove get you to move

It's all right, all right, all right

Let this groove light up your fuse

So stand up, all right, all right

Gonna tell you what you can do

Excuse me.

You know, this room actually works better

when you're drinking.

Why are you here, Nina?

Is she all right?

She's here.

Do you mind if I see her alone?

There, see? See the guy?

I've never seen this before.

Something on your chest.

Aah!

- So?

- They loved the whole idea.

They're gonna open an office

in New York.

- We did it.

- We did it.

I'd like you to come with me.

Wow.

Thank you.

There you go. Two Brain Hemorrhages.

Finally, your dream is coming true.

Ha, ha. I wouldn't call it a dream.

It's just like an opportunity.

Whatever you call it.

- Cheers.

- Cheers.

So when do you leave?

I...

I haven't decided if I'm going.

What? What do you mean?

Actually, I...

I worry about you.

Don't worry about me. I'll be okay.

I'm writing a book.

It's about laotong, the old days,

but I think it's really about us.

When I finish it, I want you to read it.

That's nice.

But writing a book won't pay the rent

unless you get it published.

I have a new boyfriend.

He has a lot of connections

and he can help.

I know these guys of yours.

Don't go there.

Come on. This one is different.

I want you to meet him.

Ladies and gentlemen,

I'd like to dedicate a song...

...to the most irritating, maddening,

stubborn woman I have ever met.

This song...

Yeah, she's actually here.

She knows who she is.

I'll keep you guessing

for a little while, though.

This song is about the place

I usually find myself when we're together...

...which is begging for a kiss.

Hit it.

Give me just one kiss

Just yes or no

All right, here we go.

A kiss on my cheeks

Leaving a mark of love

Give me just one kiss

Just yes or no

Excuse me there.

A kiss in my heart

Makes me miss you so

Here we go, everybody, ready?

See how she teases me?

Oh.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen. We're up.

What a surprise.

He's a surprising guy.

What does he do, exactly?

Well, he's an Australian businessman...

...and he owns a bunch of clubs

in Shanghai.

Great. He sounds wonderful.

And he's opening his new club in Sydney,

and he wants me to go there with him.

We are leaving soon.

What?

You're leaving with him?

- To Sydney?

- Yes.

How long have you known him?

And you've decided to go with him?

I've known you for so long.

I've been so worried about you.

So stupid of me.

Did I ask you to worry about me?

How can you talk to me like that, Sophia?

I just wanna tell you,

he's not right for you.

How do you know?

So it's all my fault.

Okay, fine. I won't bother you anymore.

- I'm going to New York.

- Good.

He will not tell me

where our son is buried.

My husband takes his sadness

and stuffs it into his fists.

So much has happened

in the years we were apart.

Fate has taught me

that I am just another woman.

I hope when I am reunited

with my husband...

...I will be a better wife.

There is no purer ambition for a woman.

I am happy you think so.

If I can change my fate...

...so can you.

You think these bruises are my fault?

I do not want you to suffer.

My relationship is different

but has something very important.

What is so important?

Lily.

Has your revered husband never shown you

that he loves you?

I seek only to help you

through this difficult time.

Our fates are so different.

I have felt your pity

since you first came into my home.

I feel pain in my heart for you,

Snow Flower.

He is my husband, Lily.

I love him.

Lily.

There are things about men

you will never know.

These are matters

you do not understand.

You are my laotong.

Everything I have is yours.

The rebels have been stopped.

Come to Tongkou.

Let me take care of you and the children.

Come with me.

I do not understand.

If I give this message to Lady Lu...

...she will misunderstand your meaning.

Your bond may be broken forever.

This is my intention.

My sister is at a different station

in her life.

I have become a burden to her.

She is far too stubborn and loyal

to accept this.

What you are about to do

will break her heart.

And mine, but it will set her free.

Loving her as I do, it is the only way.

- Lady, I am Lotus.

- I know who you are.

What do you want?

My sister asked me to return this to you.

My dear laotong:

My fate has brought me many sorrows.

I cannot be what you wish.

Three sworn sisters in Jintian

have promised to love me as I am.

You need not worry about me anymore.

Burn them.

But...

Burn them.

Yes.

Snow Flower is here.

Sorry my sisters and I are late.

I wish you happiness in your marriage,

Cousin Yan.

Thank you for traveling all this way

to celebrate our daughter's wedding.

I finally had to hire

a private detective to find Sophia's address.

Are you serious?

- Turns out she rented a little apartment.

She was holed up there

finishing her novel.

It's near her father's old bathhouse.

Bathhouse?

Yeah. It's her favorite place.

Where her father would go to escape

from his wife and the stock market.

And Sophia would wait for him.

They'd have tea or a meal.

It meant the world to her.

This is the address.

She never had visitors.

And didn't go out often.

If you find my rent money, tell me.

My dear Nina:

I'm writing a letter I will never send.

But I must tell you the truth,

even if it's only in my heart.

How could you know

how I felt all these years...

...about what you did for me?

How could I bear another sacrifice?

Giving up your future in New York...

...and yet...

...I knew your love was too strong.

There would be no asking you

to change your mind.

I had to make you hate me.

And so I lied.

I lied about wanting to move out...

...needing to be free.

The reason I moved to Sydney was

because I was pregnant with Arthur's baby.

But then I guess it was not meant to be.

I know what you think of me.

That...

That I didn't deserve her.

You're right, I didn't.

I mean, when we were first together...

...Sophia would disappear for, I don't know,

a few hours every night.

She'd never tell me where she'd been.

I assumed she was seeing someone else,

so one night, I followed her.

Where was she going?

To a bathhouse in Luwan.

I mean, the weird thing was...

...the bathhouse was restricted

to men only.

She had to disguise herself

to get in there.

Yeah.

She wore a suit, right?

Yeah, why?

It was her father's bathhouse.

Her father's?

Nina.

There's something...

There's something you should know.

She lost...

She lost your baby.

Excuse me.

My father left something here.

His locker number is 173.

I'm here to get it for him.

We're not open yet. They're still cleaning.

Old Ding, leave us alone.
