[Old Boy]
[Episode 41]
All right, go wash your hands for dinner.
Did he say when he'll be back?
Well... He's away for work, isn't he?
You made so much food when he's not coming back?
We won't be able to finish it all. There's even a pot of soup.
I was afraid you would be picky and wouldn't like the food I cook.
That's why I made more.
Go wash your hands.
Where is his work taking him?
He didn't say.
It's just really far.
Just focus on school.
Your dad will be back in a few days. Got it?
Don't dally. Go wash your hands for dinner!
Goodness gracious.
Who is it? Coming!
Who is it?
- Who are you looking for? - Is this Wu Zheng's house?
Yes. He isn't home. And you are?
Don't you run the restaurant down the street?
Yes. Who are you to this family?
What do you care who I am? Why are you here to see Wu Zheng?
Then I won't tell you either. I'm looking for Wu Zheng.
- Is Wu Zheng home? Wu Zheng? - I told you he's not home.
Granny, how come you're here?
How is Gramps?
Sweetie, I came to give this to your father.
Since he's not here, you take it.
I can't.
Didn't Wu Zheng give this to you? Not me.
Besides, doesn't Gramps need treatment? He doesn't need it now?
Take it and tell your dad thank you.
We don't need it. We appreciate his kindness.
How is Gramps's situation?
We don't have a donor liver anyway so the money won't be of use.
What did the doctor say about his condition?
His condition has been worsening.
The doctor said he... has liver failure.
Liver failure? Then I can't take this money!
Good thing I didn't take it.
This money can save his life! I can't take it!
Wait, hold on there. Listen up.
You can't give this money to them. You hear me?
This whole family is bloodsuckers.
Has that old man cared for your dad a single day?
How do they have the nerve to ask for money? Aren't you ashamed?
When Wu Zheng was young--
Granny Wen, let me speak to Granny Wang alone.
I get it. I'll remember. I know.
- Listen, boy. Don't be softhearted. - Don't worry.
- Don't fall for their tricks. - Okay.
Let's talk outside.
Don't rush. Take your time talking.
Li said we have lived a quiet and peaceful life.
He doesn't want to owe anyone anything when he passes away.
Li is the only person I obey.
So when Li said to return the money, I brought it here immediately.
- Be good and take it. - Granny, listen.
Listen to me.
Keep it for now. Wu Zheng gave you this money, not me.
I don't have the obligation or the right to accept this for him.
In addition, nobody is keeping score.
Wu Zheng wants to help you. I also want to help.
This is money to save a life. How can I take it?
Child, Li has good judgment.
He said you two are good children.
I was mistaken about you two a while back and mistreated you.
I apologize, sweetie. I'm sorry.
It's okay. It's really okay.
Listen to me. I have to get back to Li.
I have to return this money.
Make sure to give it to your dad. We appreciate your kindness.
Think about it. What will Li think if I go back with the money?
He is in such poor health and so sick.
He'll be so angry he could die.
I'm afraid of that. Be good and take it.
Thank you. Tell your dad thank you.
Watch your step!
Wu Zheng.
What should we do?
The old lady from the restaurant came to return the money.
How could she still--
Who are you talking to?
Um...
Your dad. He's away at work.
Good, I want to talk to him.
- Give me the phone. - I can speak for him.
I want to talk to him.
Hello, Wu Zheng? Where are you?
Gramps returned the money.
Xiao Han, I heard from Auntie Wen.
Don't worry about the money.
Your Uncle Shi will come by for the money later.
When are you returning?
I still need a few days to complete my mission.
Stop giving me the runaround. Don't lie to me. Just tell the truth.
You didn't even take your flight case. I know you're not away on work.
I just didn't want to expose your lie.
Where are you?
The school principal also said something happened to Ms. Lin. Were you involved?
She was in a car accident.
Anyway, I can't tell you more. I'm not too sure either.
What do you mean you're not sure?
You ran out after taking a call last night
and didn't come back until morning.
She had better be okay. If she's not, I'll...
You'll what? Give me a boot to the backside?
Be nice.
Okay, fine, you win. Let's get back to topic.
You... Listen up.
I... Let me ask you something.
I kept rejecting you when you first came to me.
Did you ever hate me?
Hate...
Not really, I guess.
I had more curiosity.
I had some enthusiasm and emotions when I went to find you.
I didn't get a response from you so of course I was quite angry.
Why are you suddenly asking this?
Don't tell me an old man like you has the same thoughts as a 16-year-old.
How can you talk to your dad like that?
I can't talk right now.
Go to bed soon.
Hello?
He hung up?
Don't be mad anymore.
What level are you on in Monster Blast?
Shi Fei.
Take back the bank card later.
The old man doesn't need the 300,000 yuan.
- What does that mean? - He won't accept me.
He has a heart of stone.
Won't accept you?
Drink water.
Dad.
Why do you keep turning away my brother?
What did his mother do wrong?
Why did you divorce his mother?
Dad, I don't understand why you're so stubborn.
At least get yourself treated first.
We can just pay him back later.
- Good morning. - Morning.
- Where are you going? - Work.
You were just discharged. Is your body up for this?
I'm fine. I'll grow moldy if I stay at home.
If I were you, I'd take a few days off to relax and have fun.
Unfortunately, I already ended my vacation.
I have a public English lecture today. I need to be there.
Love has dumped me but my students still need me.
- You're not eating breakfast? - I'll just get a snack.
- Bye. - All right.
I'll eat alone.
I'm back, students.
All right.
I'll explain--
Xiao Han, lift up your head.
It's only been two days. How come you have a bruise on your face?
I took a fall on my bike yesterday.
Oh, you fell?
That was quite a thorough fall.
Yes, I also found it strange. My face was hit on this side then the other side.
All right, I--
Zhang Kai Xuan?
You took a fall too?
We were biking together.
You two, come out.
I'll be honest! I lied to you.
We didn't fall while biking.
Japanese sumo wrestling looked fun
with two big men fighting only in loincloths.
We wanted to try it out and took things too far.
How much longer do you want to fool me?
Why were you fighting?
You were taking time off so I cheered because I was going to be free.
Xiao Han didn't like hearing that so we had a fight.
Is that true?
Why did you--
Yes.
Why haven't you changed at all?
Now that you're here, you're still using your fists to solve problems.
- Exactly. - You too.
Are you that happy that something happened to me?
Would you be even happier if I never came back?
- No. - Exactly.
Come see me after our lesson.
Go inside.
- Yes. - Yes.
Think you're funny? Get a move on!
Okay, everybody.
We just wrote down
a few English expressions commonly used in conversation.
They're very different from what is seen in textbooks
so I will be elaborating on that.
I will play a clip from an American drama
and after you carefully watch and listen
I will ask a few students to come up and reenact the scene.
That should be enough.
Okay, who wants to act as the female patient, Lin Xiao Ou?
Me! Me!
You're recovering well.
Auntie Wen, I want to eat grapes.
Grapes?
What else would you like? I'll buy them for you later.
I want to eat grapes.
All right, wait for me.
Doctor, please see to him.
The surgical wound seems to be healthy.
Do you feel discomfort anywhere?
Aside from a bit of pain, everything else is fine.
You are in good physical shape for the wound to be recovering so well.
I reckon you'll be able to stand up tomorrow
but stay away from strenuous activity.
I know. Thank you, Doctor.
Doctor?
I have a question for you.
In my present physical condition
could I donate my liver to someone with liver cirrhosis?
Liver donation? You?
Yes, I'm just asking.
Theoretically speaking, after a spine surgery like yours
physical indicators will have returned to normal after two weeks.
If you insist on donating a liver, that's possible.
However, that's just theoretically.
You're a special case though.
It's still unknown whether you'll recover your previous standard of flight skills.
Don't you think it'll be risky to donate a liver at this time?
I don't think any doctor would approve of you doing this.
- Get some rest. - Okay, thank you.
- Your comments are welcome. - Okay.
This way, please.
Ms. Lin, how come you didn't finish playing the drama?
Exactly. It gets even better later.
You should watch it.
I have things to do. I'll be leaving now.
Don't, Miss. Finish watching it. It gets better at the end.
Principal, I'm sorry.
I want to work only until the end of the semester.
Is it because of the prank the students pulled in class just now?
I actually think it was a minor rebellious act.
You did well today.
The students meant no harm
and the visiting teachers had nothing but praises for you.
Please approve my resignation.
Is your dad putting pressure on you?
I actually came here with high hopes
that I could bring energy and knowledge to students.
I also hoped to receive their love and trust.
But I realized today that I've failed.
I haven't received their acknowledgment.
So, I must have done something wrong or I didn't do enough.
Or perhaps my teaching methods have room for improvement.
Ms. Lin.
In my eyes, you are an excellent teacher.
I actually believe your teaching methods should be used throughout our school.
You said you wanted to improve.
I support that but there are many ways to do so.
You can improve while you are here.
Principal Yuan.
To be honest, I have experienced many low points lately.
I keep failing or running into roadblocks in my relationships with others.
My sense of failure has been weighing on me.
I must have gone wrong somewhere.
However, do not worry. I won't give up.
I've taken education as my life's career.
So, for better interaction with students
I've decided to go to Los Angeles
to take a series of educational psychology courses.
How about this?
Ms. Lin, there is still time until the end of the semester.
I won't accept your resignation letter yet.
You can think about this some more.
What do you say?
[Resignation letter]
Stop writing for a bit. Ms. Lin was acting strange. Is she mad?
You know her better. Go find out.
No, she's not that petty.
She won't blame us for something so trivial.
- Scared? - You're scared. I'm not scared.
We just wanted to play a joke on her.
There are even funnier things later in the clip.
She definitely wouldn't stay mad if she saw it.
But seriously, the English wasn't bad.
I'm talking about you guys, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.
Is it fun to pretend to be academic failures?
Stop it.
She threw her weight around when she first arrived.
We had to test her too.
Now we see she's not too bad.
Don't worry. We'll work with her from now on.
All right, that was some good acting.
You guys nearly fooled me.
You're really fun. We're going to be friends.
Then let's agree on this.
You and the rest of us will treat Ms. Lin better.
She's a young female teacher. Don't bully her, all right?
- No problem! - Yes!
He'll be here soon, Ye Xin.
There's no rush.
Ye Xin, don't look so solemn.
- Am I? - Very.
You have no expression at all.
Never mind. You should stay serious.
You shouldn't view Shi Fei from a science professional's perspective.
He is very important to me.
It's just dinner. Why are you making it so formal?
It has to be formal. This is the first time he's meeting my family.
Look, I even dressed up.
There must be something remarkable about him
since he made a woman who never dated actually fall in love.
Okay, so tell me. How do you feel when you're with him? Let me analyze it.
It's like an electric shock.
Even our family's level-headed and rational lawyer
can get carried away by love.
We'll all be family from now on.
Ye Zi.
Ye Xin, this is Shi Fei. Shi Fei, this is Ye Xin.
- Hello, Shi Fei. - Hello.
- I'm Ye Xin. Nice to meet you. - Pleased to meet you.
Sit, sit.
- See what you want to eat. - You order.
Just take a look.
- Anything is fine. You order. - Take a look.
Order what you like.
Ye Xin, you take a look.
How long have you been back?
About two--
How about this? I think you'll like this steak.
Okay, sure.
I have to take a call. You two can talk.
Sorry.
Thank you.
Why don't we order some wine later?
Let's not. I don't think that is appropriate for today's occasion.
While Ye Zi is away, I have some things to say.
Ye Zi seems to be a tomboy with her carefree attitude.
In reality, there is a young princess residing in her heart
and is very delicate.
I didn't expect her to be so serious about you.
It can be said it was love at first sight for her.
I hope you can be a man who lives up to your responsibilities.
I've heard some things about your field of work.
I hope you can...
control yourself and treat Ye Zi well.
Cherish what you two have together.
You can rest assured.
Yes, our circle is... Yes, it is...
But, it's just a job to me.
I am serious about Ye Zi.
I've also heard that people in that field are smooth talkers and have high EQ.
Yes, we meet a lot of people and get a lot of practice talking to others.
But I still think I have a very steadfast character.
And...
Yes, I'm very devoted.
I've heard you and Wu Zheng are very close friends.
Yes.
We can be described as family.
I've heard about you and Lin Xiao Ou through Ye Zi.
So... What do you think about our relationship?
The relationship between you two...
Wait. Aren't we here today to talk about my relationship with Ye Zi?
- Right? - Yes.
Good, good. I think you're not bad.
I'm back.
What were you guys talking about?
Just random chitchat.
- We talked about what to eat. - So what are we eating?
- The steak will do. - Sure, anything's fine.
How about a glass of wine?
Should we drink wine on this occasion?
- Let's drink. - Okay.
Waiter!
Waiter?
Yes, over here.
Ms. Lin, why don't I see you home since you didn't drive?
We're not going the same way.
Then I'll walk you to the subway station.
I also have some things to tell you.
I don't want to talk right now.
All right, don't be mad anymore.
The students added onscreen comments to the video just as a small joke.
If they weren't proficient in English
they couldn't have come up with those comments.
Didn't you see how happy they were that I was in a car accident?
You don't have to help them explain.
They don't approve of me as a teacher.
They don't mean that!
Anyway, since their English is so good, I can leave without any worries.
You're... leaving?
Where are you going?
You want to leave us that badly?
Yes, you might be having some conflicts with Wu Zheng
but you can't take it out on your job!
I wouldn't play around with my career.
I have my plans for work.
In any case, after I leave, you should do your part as a student
and stop being a troublemaker.
One more thing.
Ye Zi went to the detention center and gave the money and letter to Lu Da Zhi
but he still doesn't want a defense lawyer.
Did he have anything to say to me after he read the letter?
Yes.
He said the happiness you brought him was enough to pay him back for raising you.
He wants you to forget him.
Don't be so upset.
He wasn't refusing your good intentions.
He probably feels guilty towards you.
I have to go now.
Hello, Ke Man?
Xiao Han, the photo studio contacted me and said we can return to model.
What? Like heck I'm going if it's still the same type of outfit as last time.
You're not going either.
They already apologized to me and changed the outfit styles.
He also repeatedly promised to only take normal photos.
There are lots of clothes so it'll take a whole day. Are you free?
I'm fine with anything.
Just don't force yourself to do anything for me.
We'll hold on to our principles.
If he pushes things too far again, we'll just quit.
Who brings wine to visit a patient?
- Have a whiff. Doesn't it smell good? - No.
All right. I didn't bring it for you. It's for myself.
I'm going to call the nurse.
I'll have her come and kick you out.
You can't take a joke now that you're sick?
Alcohol helps promote thought process.
I came so you can help me come up with ideas.
How can I propose to Ye Zi in an unconventional way?
The idea of proposing is cliché to begin with
so making it not cliché will be impossible.
I met Ye Zi's brother today.
Your love rival and my older brother-in-law.
I am serious.
It'll still be cliché.
After you renovate your house, you'll get a child and then a new car.
Those are cliché ideas.
Honestly... How about this?
I'll take Ye Zi away on vacation and then propose to her.
That's a good idea.
You can rent a spacecraft and propose to her in space.
That won't be cliché.
What the heck?
Okay, it's my fault. I'm being inconsiderate of your feelings.
I'm burdening you with my happiness when you're in pain.
It's also my fault.
I'm lying down and can't move.
I can't take out my anger.
It's good you're here so I can vent a bit.
Okay, I'll drink for you.
A drink is the best solution.
I forgot about you.
Don't take off your shoes.
You can put down the files and leave.
If Xiao Ou sees you when she gets back--
It's okay. There are slippers here.
Aren't you going to ask me how I feel about Shi Fei?
I don't want to ask.
Okay, I'll tell you. I feel...
He's a pretty good person
but his taste in clothes can improve.
His eyes don't look that nice.
Your eyes don't look great either.
All right. You've had water and evaluated Shi Fei.
Ye Zi, you're my sister.
It's okay if you don't help me but can you stop pushing me away?
How am I pushing you away?
Hi, Xiao Ou.
Xiao Ou.
Xiao Ou, what's wrong?
Xiao Ou, why don't we have a drink?
Where should I propose?
Shi Fei.
I've come to a decision.
I'm prepared to...
donate my liver to the old man.
You're...
Are you insane?
I already asked the doctor.
In theory, it's not impossible.
As long as I've recovered
I can go get tested.
Your medicine must be doing a number on you.
Look at the state you're in. You want to donate a liver too?
What is going on in your mind?
I'm not being selfish. Let's be objective.
Shouldn't you first confirm whether the old man really is your birth father?
What if he's not?
Even if it's a slight chance that he's not.
Would you be able to get your liver back after you donate it?
Don't turn a deaf ear. Turn back around!
Are you still alive?
Think on it.
I've already decided.
It's just a liver.
I'm calling the nurse.
Nurse!
Here, bottoms up.
Cheers.
Xiao Ou, why are you drinking so much?
You have work tomorrow. Don't drink so much.
I don't know...
if I want to go to work.
What's going on? You don't even want to go to work now?
I want to go to the U.S. to study psychology.
Don't you keep saying all I have is passion?
I also think I'm too naive.
I thought that as a teacher, as long as I was sincere and genuine
I could melt even the coldest hearts.
That's all bullshit.
Xiao Ou, that's not a big deal. Weren't you unruly as a kid too?
The kids are young.
Those who stir up trouble are brats. In the future, they--
I'll pour that for you.
Look, you went to Yucai High
because Wu Zheng convinced you to go, right?
Even though you two have broken up now
you can't just quit in a fit of anger.
I didn't make this decision because he and I broke up.
That's not why I want to leave.
It's my students who broke my heart.
When they heard I was taking time off, they were so happy that they cheered.
I treat them with sincerity
but why am I not treated in kind?
I feel I'm now...
completely incapable of understanding them...
let alone teaching them.
I was too idealistic.
I kept thinking I could change others.
But I can't change anybody.
I should just sort myself out first.
You might be reading too much into this.
The kids are young and like to play around.
They didn't mean you any harm.
Don't let it weigh on you.
Yes, Ye Xin is right.
They're still young.
Besides, studying psychology is so unexpected.
Where are you going to go for school?
California, United States.
I'm such a failure.
I don't understand the kids.
If you're going to the U.S., I can help you.
Help with what? I'm going to California in the U.S., not Australia.
I really like California. I can go with you.
I also have a very close high school buddy in Los Angeles.
Maybe I'll be able to find a job I like there.
No, no. If you're going to California, I'm not going.
I'm going there to avoid Wu Zheng, not run to you.
Right.
If I hadn't stepped out of line a few months ago
we would probably be basking in the sun in the Gold Coast.
I disagree.
I never regretted what I experienced in the past few months.
Stop drinking. That's enough.
Stop drinking.
I'm happy.
Happy?
I'll drink to myself.
Wu Zheng.
You heard her.
Xiao Ou calls out for Wu Zheng when she's drunk.
Ye Zi.
I know you're mad at me because I broke up with Xiao Ou.
I also know you're her best friend.
But I hope you...
You are my sister.
Can you curb your resentment for me just a little bit?
You don't have to help me but can you support me just a little bit?
Ye Xin.
I'm not refusing to help.
I don't resent you.
Even though it's true that you were in the wrong to break up with her...
I am with Xiao Ou day in and day out
so I know who makes her happy.
You two were together for six years.
Her affection for you in those six years
wasn't even as deep as her affection for Wu Zheng over a few months.
Why would you say that?
Six years versus two months. Which do you think holds more weight?
Besides, I'm changing myself for her. I can do anything for her.
Okay.
Say she goes abroad.
Even if she goes abroad, she might not accept you.
Even if she can accept you...
She doesn't want to be in the same city you are in.
It'll still be a long-distance relationship.
It won't be like that.
I can... I can go to California for her.
I can move.
I won't be like before. I will do anything for her.
It's true.
Do you really know Xiao Ou?
When she has decided on something, she won't be swayed.
Nobody can change her mind.
Wu Zheng.
I made bone broth for you.
Where has he gone?
Wu Zheng?
Where has he run off to?
Mr. Wu, you wanted to see me?
I'd like to ask you some questions.
If I want to donate my liver to Li Li Qun
what procedures would I have to go through?
Li Li Qun? You are...
I want to ask if I can be a donor.
You?
I just had a minimally invasive spine surgery.
I'm in the hospital already so I came by to ask. I'll be discharged soon.
It is possible in theory
but your body must have returned to a normal state first.
If you want to be a donor, you must first take a compatibility test.
Take a look at this form first.
Although Li Li Qun's condition is very urgent now
I still recommend that your health return to normal first
before you consider donating.
Okay. Why don't you write me a test request form?
I'll have my blood type tested first.
Didn't you say we need compatibility before proceeding?
Doctor, I have a question.
If I'm compatible, can I donate my liver anonymously?
What is your relationship to Li Li Qun?
He is my father. We're father and son.
Because of many...
many different reasons...
I won't get into them.
Doc, is Li Li Qun's condition critical?
