Hey!
Sorry.
You scared the hell out of me.
Why didn't you leave with the others?
Does the management know why there's a power outage?
Not yet. Smoke was found coming out of the meter room.
They are checking it.
They'll find out soon.
We're lucky it happened before the students came back.
Did you tell them that make-up classes will be scheduled?
Check out our website on your phone to find out.
I never doubt your competency.
Aren't you leaving?
I have to prepare tomorrow's classes.
But it's dark here.
I have to. My timetable is so full,
I hardly have time to prepare.
This power outage came at a convenient time.
It has eased my workload.
Are you blaming me?
No, just getting it out of my system.
Feel free to leave. You don't have to stay behind for me.
I'll lend you an ear.
We have an unexpected day off.
Shouldn't you spend it with Pork Belly?
He has a date.
He's going for a movie and pizza with Bella and Pacino.
What about you?
Me? I don't know.
This unexpected day off caught me off guard.
Are you gathering your things?
Am I in your way?
It's too dark to work here.
You don't have a date, do you?
How about going somewhere with me?
Is this a date?
If two people walking together is a date, then it's a date.
You have no sense of humour.
I don't? I tried very hard to be on your level.
You did? OK, let's go.
The food is good here.
You like it? The next treat will be even better.
Really?
When I see you're happy, I'm happy too.
I need to go to the loo.
Pacino, you take him.
Sure.
No, I'm a big boy now.
Alright. Be careful.
Pork Belly, come here.
Grandpa, why are you here?
Come with me.
It's my first children's play. It was fun.
It's a British troupe. It's their first visit here.
They focus on interacting with kids.
I liked it even though I'm no longer a kid.
Can we use it in our English classes?
Sure, as reference.
We have our own teaching materials.
I was worried you'd find it boring.
I came for the center.
Good! You're getting a principal vibe.
Something has changed.
I used to have no patience for kids.
We couldn't connect.
I didn't know how to talk to them.
I'm lucky Pork Belly is not a difficult kid.
He makes parenting easy for me.
So you knew you're blessed.
Right.
So I owe you a drink?
Of course.
Coffee?
Iced cappuccino! OK.
Cheers.
I haven't been this carefree for some time.
I've gotten used to having Pork Belly running around.
You still won't hold his hand?
To be honest, I didn't hold Bella by the hand that much even when we were dating.
I know! You have social anxiety.
Not that serious.
I just find it rather cumbersome.
How come? You don't think it's sweet and heart-warming?
You can feel the other person's thoughts without even talking.
Give me your hand.
Can you feel it?
Feel what?
What I'm thinking.
Do you feel it?
I do.
You do?
You have a sweaty palm.
I haven't held a hand in a while.
Let me feel it a bit longer.
Hello?
What is it? Don't cry. What happened?
Has Pork Belly called you?
No. What happened?
He's missing.
Missing?
What's wrong with you two?
Couldn't you keep an eye on him?
How come...
Let me.
Hello? This is Miss Fa.
Where did Pork Belly go missing?
We were in a restaurant.
He went to the loo and has not been back since.
We've looked everywhere.
Have you called the police?
No. We wanted to try you first.
Maybe he's gone to Marius's place.
Let me call him.
Call him.
Hello?
Daddy.
You scared the hell out of me.
Where are you?
In the hospital.
Hospital?
Why did you take away my son?
I knew you have an agenda.
This sudden showing up after all these years must mean something.
To get my sympathy? To play nice?
You gave me a raw deal already. Leave my son alone!
Keung, how would I bear you ill will?
I have never got anything good from you.
Now leave my son alone.
There will be karma.
Leave us alone.
Leave my son alone!
Please, we are in a hospital.
You love your son.
What'll do you do if he's in trouble?
Leave my son alone!
Or I won't let you off!
You still have me to blame.
What about me?
I have no one to rant to.
Daddy...
You alright? Are you hurt?
I am fine.
Don't be mad at Grandpa.
He didn't make me come.
I've told you many times. Don't let strangers take you away.
He's not a stranger.
He's my grandpa.
Are you Brother Keung?
Who are you?
I am Kuk Siu-lung.
Kuk Shun-chiu is my pa.
I am her mom. Call me Lin.
He's my son.
She's my wife.
Lung is your kid brother.
Thank you.
Miss Fa. I really am sorry.
You are involved in our family row.
I hope you don't find me nosy.
Of course not.
Were it not for you,
Keung wouldn't have sit down for a talk.
Make it quick.
I can't wait to take my son home.
I never had a chance to say this.
Keung, I'm sorry.
Spare me the niceties.
It's not a nicety. I really mean it.
I know what I did is not right.
I shouldn't have used Pork Belly.
But I had no other way of getting you to the hospital.
Forgive me for asking you this.
Is Lung sick?
He looks pale to me.
It's leukemia.
How serious is it?
Very serious.
The doctor said he needs a bone marrow transplant right away.
His mom's and mine don't match.
There is no telling when a donor will come up.
There is nothing we can do at this moment.
We can only watch our son slip away.
Kuk Sir is your only hope.
Unlike donating blood, a marrow donor has to undergo an operation.
I know it is too much to ask.
Keung, Lung is your kid brother.
Only you can help him.
You made me into a ruthless and heartless person.
You're smart.
You used Pork Belly because you know he has a kind heart.
I didn't.
You didn't?
I had no other choice.
I told him he has a kid uncle and he's sick.
I wouldn't make him if he didn't want to see him.
Whatever. You took him away.
Whatever you say. It's all my fault.
Please don't be mad at me anymore.
Even if you're mad at me, please help Lung.
You're his last hope.
Help your kid brother.
Hey!
You slap a kid brother on me out of the blue.
Don't you find that weird?
What do you want me to do?
Yes, he's pitiful. But so what?
I can't help you.
Sorry.
Miss Fa, ask Pork Belly to come out.
You really won't go in?
You're here anyway, why not pay Lung a visit?
He's your kid brother after all.
I am my mom's only son.
You're mad at your dad,
you shouldn't be mad at your kid brother as well.
No, he has nothing to do with it.
Still, a kid brother out of the blue.
What do you expect me to do?
I was not mentally prepared for it.
Would you believe me if I said I love him?
I got the ball and dashed to the other side with it.
I was almost intercepted.
Were you?
No. I made it in time.
Did you win?
Our team won, of course.
You're awesome!
I wish I could run around on the grass like you.
I'll take you to the park after you get well.
Pork Belly, you'll join us, right?
Of course. I'll teach you rugby.
Great!
I don't know if I'll ever have the chance though.
Daddy, look.
It's cute. Your teacher taught you?
No, it was Uncle Lung.
He has no friends to play with him.
The nurse taught him origami.
He loves animals.
He wants to be a vet when he grows up.
But he doubts that will ever happen.
Pork Belly, don't go to the hospital again.
Why not? I said I would bring him books and teach him English.
And I don't want to hear you mention Uncle Lung again.
Nice.
I haven't been this high in a while.
Sze Hing, quit being a therapist.
Be my drummer instead.
It's not a crime to be both, right?
Let's jam again some other time.
Great.
Hi. Ophelia.
Why are you here?
Hello, Miss Chu.
This is a follow-up visit for your back pain.
The bonesetter didn't pay me a follow-up home visit for my sprained foot.
Someone has a suiter.
The young are direct.
Sze Hing is a professional and handsome.
Why are you hiding him?
I'm not. It's about timing.
Isn't this the right timing?
Since your family members are all here,
let me introduce myself.
My name is Sze Hing, Vincent.
I'm a capable physiotherapist.
Vincent? Yes.
I prefer Sze Hing.
He's been waiting for you all night.
Fa Sin Chi had a power outage.
Where have you been all day?
Why is your phone off!
Off?
Oh, sorry, I went to a children's play.
That's why the phone was off.
Who did you watch it with? It lasted all night.
With Kuk Sir.
It was an afternoon show.
Then something came up. It has to do with his family.
So I went with him...
It's a long story. I'm really hungry.
Can we eat now?
I just need to stir-fry the vegetables.
Sze Hing, stay for dinner. I've included you.
Sure.
Dave, clear up and set the table.
OK.
What? Nothing.
Have a stroll with me after dinner.
OK.
Ophelia, you're not my first girlfriend.
I'm not surprised.
I mean, you may not be my first girlfriend,
but I want you to be my last.
We've just started.
Could we leave that for later?
You may think I'm flippant,
but I have a template for my girlfriend.
You may think love-at-first-sight is unreliable,
but from the moment I met you, I've already done a lot of thinking.
I am sure you are the one I want.
I never bother to explain myself.
But you're different.
I want you to have a thorough understanding of me.
Sze Hing, I have tried...
You haven't.
Even if you have,
it's not with my earnestness, far from it.
I really feel a bit hurt.
Sze Hing... Shush...
I won't give up.
I'll give you more chances to get to know me.
I hope you'll fall in love once you get to know me.
I won't let go.
Go to bed early.
Get Well Physiotherapy Center
The other one.
Show me your tongue.
You're fine. Don't worry.
It's just the weather.
I'll give you a prescription.
See? I told you I'm fine.
Still, you have a weak constitution.
You have to take good care of yourself.
Recovery takes time.
Think of your wife.
Hear that?
Take good care of yourself!
Stop nagging.
Mrs Wong, should I give you a checkup?
I don't think so. I feel fine.
She has a good appetite.
I don't think I can afford her.
What nonsense!
You have something to show Brother Sun, right?
Oh yes.
It's the dusk red jade I just bought.
It's authentic cinnabar taint.
Not bad at all.
From your son?
I wish!
He's tied to his wife's apron strings now that he's married.
He'd rather spend his money on his wife's handbags.
He couldn't care less about us two.
Your son and daughter-in-law are a different story.
We all have skeletons in our closet.
I would have peace if they were more like your son and daughter-in-law.
Oh, please. They nag because they care.
You don't know how lucky you are.
Physician Sheung... have you eaten?
Yes.
Excuse us.
You alright? I'm fine.
Dad, you cried out loud. It must really hurt.
I told you not to call me Dad here.
Come with me.
What now?
I'm talking to you as a physiotherapist.
Sit down and let me have a look.
You're a physiotherapist. I'm a Chinese medicine practitioner.
Why should I listen to you?
Your injury has deteriorated.
I'm fine.
You're not. Sit down!
It won't go away on its own.
Letting it drag on will only make it worse.
Inf lammed cartilage takes a long time to heal.
It's not just lifting heavy objects,
you may have trouble just wringing a towel.
Easy...
You don't want us to babysit you, do you?
I don't need you to take care of me.
I don't want to either.
I get enough of your scolding.
You're scolding me now.
You asked for it.
Look at this.
It's all swollen.
Go to a doctor and get a referral.
Or I can't give you physiotherapy.
I don't have the time.
Alright, I'll just nag you day and night.
You'll see. You...
What a pest.
It does feel better.
Dad.
Thank you.
Why wouldn't you join us for dinner?
A boxed meal is not healthy.
I can't stand your wife's nagging.
Carrie asked me to bring you soup and your favourite steamed minced pork with rice.
I told you not to bother.
Carrie cares about you.
I'm her father-in-law, but she orders me around in the center.
She squeezed my wrist so hard and made me wear this.
What a nuisance.
You forbid her to call you Dad in the center.
She squeezed your wrist to examine it.
Do you feel better after wearing that?
It seems better.
You always take her side.
Listen to your wife to get rich.
You should listen to Carrie too.
Go to a hospital for a check-up.
Stop nagging.
You're a physician, seek treatment early.
You don't have to listen to Carrie or me,
what about Yat and Yee?
They can't hold your hand when you go out.
You two stop taking turns nagging me.
You win. I'll go to a doctor.
Eat.
Pork Belly, what's this?
A goldfish. It's cute.
Uncle Lung taught me how to make it.
Teach me.
Next time. I'm not in the mood today.
Why not?
Uncle Lung is in hospital.
Uncle Lung? Who's that?
Daddy's kid brother.
But Daddy doesn't like Grandpa.
He won't let me see him.
Is he sick?
Yes, leukemia.
He may not live if he doesn't get marrow donation.
Your daddy won't let you visit him, he must have his reasons.
I can visit him for you.
Really?
Yes. Which hospital?
Tze Oi Hospital.
Do you have anything to say to him?
Not right now.
Why don't you give this to him?
No problem. He'll get your goldfish.
Thank you, Uncle Marius.
Hello, Uncle Marius, did you visit Uncle Lung?
Yes. He got the goldfish you made.
Is he better?
Did he still have a fever? Did he feel sick?
He's fine. Don't worry.
I'll visit him whenever I'm free.
Tell me if anything happens to him.
Sure.
Pork Belly...
It's Daddy. Talk later. Bye.
Bye.
Pork Belly... Yes?
Watch out...
The washing machine is dripping again.
It was fixed last time.
Get me the warranty.
It needs to be fixed again.
What now?
The washing machine can be fixed.
Only you can save Uncle Lung.
Sit down.
Yes, we can get a washing machine fixed if it's broken.
Broken parts can be replaced.
Or we can get a new one when it comes to the worst case.
A human being can be fixed by heart, lung, kidney or liver transplant.
But first there has to be a right liver or kidney.
Human organs are more complicated than machines.
Grandpa said only you can save Uncle Lung.
Yes, my marrow may turn out to be right for him.
It may not have ill effects on me at all.
But operations carry risks.
You don't want anything to happen to me, do you?
No. See?
Misconceptions about bone marrow donation...
Nearly a thousand adults and children fall victim to leukemia every year...
Leukemia can be fatal, yet it's not incurable...
Mr Kuk, the blood sample will be tested right away.
When will the result be out?
Tomorrow at the earliest.
We'll call you.
Doctor, how much risk is there for a bone marrow donation?
All medical procedures carry a risk.
You will be given general anaesthesia during marrow extraction.
Anaesthesia carries a risk.
Thank you.
Keung.
Hi... I happened to pass by. I'm leaving.
Could I have a word with you?
I wanted to talk to you,
but never had the chance.
He never mentioned you to me.
I never knew about you or Lung.
Chiu mentions you all the time,
mostly about your childhood.
Lung is a lot like you.
Sorry, I don't think you like to be linked to Lung.
Don't worry. I'm not that mean,
only to people who asked for it.
Chiu deserves it.
He never thinks twice. He lives for today and never thinks about consequences.
That's why he gotten into so much trouble.
Still, he has a good nature.
That's why I'm with him.
Has a good nature? Do you know who he was?
I do. He's told me everything,
even how the creditor threatened to cut your hand off.
I just remember I'm busy. Excuse me.
Mr Kuk... Keung... I'm not defending your dad,
I just want you to know the life he's lived these past few years.
It won't take long.
I'll leave you alone afterwards.
I was a masseuse in Shenzhen before I married your dad.
I had eight siblings to support back in my hometown.
I had to send them money every month.
A brother was getting married and my parents wanted a grand wedding.
They asked for $50,000.
So my dad resorted to conning to get you the money?
He did help me out.
He got the money by working two jobs, not by conning.
He was a construction site worker during the day, and a taxi-driver at night.
He saved the money.
But a mudslide after a heavy downpour buried my family alive.
No one survived.
I was so shocked and confused.
Brother Chiu took me back to my hometown and helped me with their burials.
He assured me he would take care of me for life.
Then we got married and had Lung.
He never forgave himself for what he had done.
After hearing what had happened to you and your mother,
he was too ashamed to see you.
Were it not for Lung's illness,
he would never have gone to you.
I lost my family overnight.
Life is so complicated.
I thought heaven gave me Lung to make it up to me,
but I'm losing him now.
I believe in fate.
It's Lung's destiny if he doesn't survive.
Keung, I'm happy that you came to see him.
Siu-Nam is the most important person to you.
Take good care of him.
I'll ask Brother Chiu to leave you alone.
Excuse me.
What have you been doing in your room all night?
Sorting out my toys.
Are the ones in the carton boxes to be thrown away?
No. I want to take them to Uncle Lung.
OK.
Daddy, what do you think?
They're your toys. You decide.
Daddy, help me pick.
How will you give them to him?
Take them back to Fa Sin Chi and ask Miss Fa to hand them over.
You should take them to him yourself to show your sincerity.
Myself? You're letting me go visit him?
Let me see if Miss Fa can go with you.
What about you? You won't go with me?
I'm busy. I have to work
But I want you to go with me.
I have to work.
Hello?
Kuk Sir? What is it?
Did you and Pork Belly have a fight?
I don't just call you when something bad happens.
You seldom called at this hour.
I thought it can't be good.
I wonder if you could take Pork Belly to see Lung.
Sure.
Hello, Kuk Sir? Is that it?
I've been to visit Lung, his condition is deteriorating.
We'll see after a couple of days.
I mean... if I have the time, I may pay him a visit.
If and may, could you make it more definite?
I'm not that sure myself.
I'm glad you made this call.
Really? I thought I'd be bothering you.
Don't stand on ceremony with me.
The Taiwanese children's play you mentioned,
tickets are available online now.
Have you bought any?
Three.
One for me, one for Pork Belly...
Count me in.
Sure.
Bye.
Kuk Sir, Lung's condition has deteriorated all of a sudden.
He's now in intensive care.
Come here right away.
Daddy.
How is he?
Very bad. He almost has no immunity. It has led to pneumonia.
Keung, please, save him.
Keung, it's my fault.
I failed your mother and you.
I failed you as a father.
It's my fault. I'm willing to pay for it.
Lung is a good boy, a loving son.
Call it karma. My son is paying for me.
Keung, let me pay for it.
Keung, only you can save him. Keung...
Take care of yourself first.
Chiu...
Keung...
Get up first.
Don't scare me.
I can't live without you.
Daddy, save Lung...
I did the blood test.
If my marrow is right for him,
I won't let him die.
You mean it? You'll save him?
Thank you...
I will never forget this...
I'll call the doctor...
Chiu, sit down.
I'll go.
I want to see Lung.
I'll go with you.
Thank you.
Keep an eye on Grandpa.
Lung will be fine.
Good boy.
Thank you, Keung.
He's just a kid.
His parents must be heartbroken.
You're a father. You should understand.
Do you know why I wouldn't come see him?
Because he would remind me of Pork Belly.
If he were my son, I would give up my life for his.
I knew I would cave.
So I didn't come.
My dad was a rascal.
His son had nothing to do with it.
When he begged me on his knees,
I could tell he loves him very much.
Do you know that you and Lung were born on the same date?
Really?
Lin told me.
Call it destiny.
You're family. Blood is thicker than water.
If I had agreed to the donation early,
it would have spared him a lot of suffering.
But I couldn't bring myself to do it.
Since you're no longer mad at your dad,
what else are you worried about?
That day my mom went for a gastroscopy,
it was done under general anaesthesia.
She had a stroke midway.
She was revived but it left her half-paralysed.
She was wheelchair bound for two years before she passed away.
Such occurrences are rare.
It's rare, but it did happen to my family.
I know I should save the kid,
but I don't want to end up like my mom.
What about my son if something happens to me?
It'll break his heart if he loses his father.
I have just learned to love him.
I don't want to lose him.
I don't want him to lose his father.
Yet he's pitiful.
I don't know what to do.
I feel so useless.
Kuk Chi-keung, you know what?
You're vulnerable.
Stop acting tough.
You'll just make it harder on yourself.
Stop blaming yourself.
You've done the best you could.
I know what to do.
Thank you.
I feel better with you here.
