[Old Boy]
[Episode 4]
I've already asked him.
He was born in July of 2001.
You and Xiao Wei married in 2000 in the seventh month of the Lunar calendar.
You divorced on New Year's Day of 2001. Right?
Calculate for yourself. Whose son is he?
This is nothing to joke about.
Xiao Wei never told me.
You can't be so certain.
I think you two are quite similar.
Come here!
Look, his eyebrows and eyes are exactly like yours.
Come here.
Go back. Go back.
See? You both scrunch your brows when you're angry. You're just the same!
He obviously got the genes from you!
Shi Fei, are you messing with me?
Stop playing with me.
I only asked you to send some flowers.
What did you do?
Why did you bring this to me?
What did I do? I just left a business card.
Hey.
Uh...
You...
- Did your mom say anything? - About what?
About me.
My mom never mentioned the name of any heartless rat.
See? She never said anything.
His mom never said anything.
It's clear now. It has nothing to do with me.
He's not my son.
You know Xiao Wei's personality.
She divorced you and realized she was pregnant.
Given her personality, would she go back to you?
I... Kid, we're not related.
We have nothing to do with each other. Got it?
Go back to where you came from.
See? See? His bad temper is just like yours.
Wait up! Don't go!
Hold it. Stop.
Can you calm down?
Don't take it to heart with your dad. He doesn't mean what he says.
This is a very serious matter.
Shouldn't you give him time to process it?
We were quite close to your mom back in the day.
Wu Zheng has suffered some setbacks at work lately.
He's actually quite nice and has a lot of personality.
Personality? It's disgusting.
You can't say that.
Your dad can fly planes.
He can also write. If you don't believe me, check his blog.
Big V. He has a bunch of fans.
Your dad can reach for the stars and swim with the turtles.
He can fly planes, scale mountains, snowboard, swim, and all that.
He's a great person.
He's a popular person.
That doesn't mean he has a good character.
He doesn't want me?
I don't want him as my dad!
He can pretend he had a dream and I was blind. Okay?
Don't leave.
Where are you going? I'll give you a ride.
No need. I'll get a cab.
You have to tell me where you're going. Do you have any other family?
I don't have any relatives. I'm going to a classmate's house.
Classmate's house?
Should I talk to your classmate's parents?
No. He's my best friend.
He drank with me. Fake alcohol.
We've fought together and been taken to the police station together.
He's not as unreliable as someone else!
I know. The one from last night, right?
Anything else you have to say?
Call me if you need anything!
Enough! Stop peeking, will you?
So you're eavesdropping! Why are you hiding?
You're squatting down, aren't you?
Your dad cares about you!
If Mom didn't die, were you going to keep me in the dark forever?
Was I not emotionally invested as well?
Besides, it was your mom's idea to keep you in the dark.
You don't even know where you'll take shelter.
You're worrying about a dog?
- What do you mean? - Kid.
Change that spoiled attitude of yours.
It's clear now. It has nothing to do with me.
He's not my son.
Kid, we're not related.
Go back to where you came from.
I might have to crash at your house for a few days.
No problem. You're always welcome.
What will we do if we have a child?
We haven't been married for long.
I don't want a kid ruining our happiness.
Having a kid might not necessarily ruin our happiness.
The kid is so tough.
I wonder who he's like.
He didn't even leave me with his number.
Shi Fei.
This is really all your fault.
You created so much trouble after going to one funeral.
If I didn't attend and leave my business card
would the kid not exist?
Don't complain about this for now.
He's 16 years old. You should take care of him until he's 18.
As I told him, he has nothing to do with me.
I don't care. You take care of this mess.
Why did you treat him to drinks last night?
What's this?
It's a father and son connection.
Eat more. All these dishes were made just for you.
Zhou Zhou said you like Western cuisine.
Don't be shy.
Thank you, Auntie.
You're so good to me. Thank you.
Dig in. I had my mom make your favorite roast chicken.
There better not be any leftovers.
Auntie, you didn't need to cook more. Just a normal meal would've been fine.
Of course I have to.
You are Zhou Zhou's best friend at school.
He said you've helped him out a lot.
I've wanted to find a good chance to properly thank you.
Of course, this isn't a very appropriate time though.
I'm not very good with words.
Anyway, I'm just saying don't be shy. Eat more. Treat this like your own home.
Yes, right. From now on, our home is your home.
My mom is your mom.
Okay? Don't keep staring. Eat up!
Come. Welcome.
Welcome, Xiao Han.
- Cheers. - Thank you.
The blue fruit in this is very expensive.
- Why don't we go somewhere else? - Right here.
This place has good food and the old man is nice.
- Hi, Auntie. - Hello.
Your vegetables.
- Wu Zheng, you're here. - Hello.
Hey, old man.
What would you like to eat?
What's fresh today?
The eggplant's good today. Why don't I make a homestyle eggplant?
- Okay. Just make us two dishes. - Okay.
- Add more sugar. - Okay.
Looks like Xiao Wei found out she was pregnant after divorcing you.
It hasn't been easy for her all these years.
I haven't been able to forget
her determined expression when she said she was divorcing me.
She was too stubborn.
But to be honest, I did owe her.
No matter what you say, you can't make it up to her now.
Treat the kid better.
No problem. I can be good to him. I can give him part of my wages.
But I really can't live with him.
What's your heart made of? It's so hard.
You try it. You're living a good life. You're content with what you have.
Then a kid this tall suddenly comes into your life
who stares angrily at you and calls you Dad.
Isn't that scary?
I can't do this. I don't have any affection for him.
Not even if I spend time with him.
You don't have the affection, but you have a blood relation.
I think you two are quite alike.
You haven't seen his foster father.
It's so obvious he's not his kid.
You have to accept him as your kid even if you don't want to.
Even if it's true...
I'm still not raising him.
It's not up for discussion.
Xiao Han.
Just live at my house. Don't worry about anything.
I think it's not too bad that your undependable dad wouldn't take you in.
Think about it.
He's an airline captain.
Your mom left him either because he wasn't doing well in life
or he has a flawed moral character.
By the way, I'm having trouble with my music.
Help me with it.
Thanks.
I never would've thought.
Good thing I didn't get a new one.
It's now become the only thing my mom left behind for me.
I remember that was your birthday gift. You were so happy with it at the time.
You even ran to the school and climbed over the wall
to go to the activities room and played all afternoon.
Back then, I didn't have any stress at school.
Nor any family problems.
My mom and dad--
I'm coming in.
Auntie.
There are a lot of things here.
Xiao Han, I got you pajamas.
It's new. I bought it for Zhou Zhou but he's never worn it.
I've already washed them. Try it on to see if it fits.
It smells fresh. Smell it.
Thank you, Auntie.
We're about the same height and weight. I'm sure it'll fit. Thank you.
You're so thoughtful.
I left in such a rush that I forgot to bring pajamas.
I thought of everything, didn't I?
If there's anything you need, don't hesitate to tell me.
I don't need anything. This is good enough for me.
Mom, that's enough. We have stuff to do.
It's best not to play after 9 p.m.
The neighbor nags a lot and is very annoying.
Mom, we're just fiddling with the tuning. It won't be noisy.
Okay.
Why don't I make a fruit plate for you?
No need, Mom. Go do your thing.
- I'll leave you be. Go to sleep soon. - Goodnight, Auntie.
Your mom is so nice. I've never eaten fruit my mom cut for me.
Your mom and my mom are two extremes.
My mom is too concerned about me.
Especially recently since my parents are divorcing.
I'm guessing she's afraid she'll lose custody of me.
Parents divorcing is not a good thing.
But at least they're fighting over you. That proves they love you.
Now look at me. I'm all alone.
My real father and foster father are both pushing me away.
I think it's nice being an orphan.
Better than your parents tearing into each other.
My parents fight over every little thing.
It makes me feel so disappointed.
If they take it to court, I'm running away from home.
This is the world of adults.
It's full of all sorts of dirty secrets, big and small.
We're getting there soon.
Today's soup of the day is fresh corn and pork ribs soup. No MSG.
It's so good.
What do you think?
It's great.
Eat with us.
There are too many customers.
If the old lady gets too busy, she'll be grumbling at me.
Eat up.
So.
You suddenly have a son. What do you really think?
What do I think?
What else?
This kid is no good.
Look. He's not a good kid.
Do good kids get into fights?
It's clear he wasn't taken care of. No, not taught well.
- He lacks discipline. - Wait.
When you gave him drinks, you were saying he was a good kid.
When we were fighting, you called him loyal.
Now that he's your son, he's not a good kid?
Who says he's my kid? Who can be certain?
You two are exactly alike! You look the exact same!
Is he as tall as I am?
He's only 16!
Are his eyes as big as mine? No, right?
Eyelashes? Right?
There are so many differences. You say we're the exact same?
Don't be so ungrateful with what you have.
I've been wanting for years to find a woman to marry and have kids with.
I couldn't pray for more.
You didn't have to spend a cent and you got a grown-up son.
You still know no contentment.
Your prayers were heard.
You can have him.
You don't have to spend a cent. What do you say?
If he were mine, I'd take him.
I have to get deep with you now.
It wasn't easy for your mom to raise you on her own.
It wasn't easy for her or for you. Right?
Do you really want to see this kid alone and uncared for?
We can't be mean just because others are mean to us.
Your parents divorced. You also divorced.
What will the kid do? Think about that.
You're even comparing eyelashes? My gosh.
I bought a new phone for you. I even got you a new card.
What?
I said I got you a new phone and card.
Why did you waste money?
A new job, a new number.
We're starting a new life now.
We have to succeed.
I believe in you.
Dad!
Your dad was so cruel to abandon you.
If you're a man, you should delete everything about him from your phone.
[Delete permanently]
[Confirm]
Wu Zheng, what will we do if we have a child?
We haven't been married for long.
I don't want a kid ruining our happiness.
Having a kid might not necessarily ruin our happiness.
I just want to spend every waking moment with you.
I don't want a third wheel, even if it's my son.
Who says it'll be a son?
My child will be an airline captain just like me.
He must be a son.
Xiao Wei.
- I'll drive you. - No need.
Let's not see each other again if we don't have to.
I... Can I say sorry?
Is that still necessary?
Ye Zi!
Have you seen that jerk's sunglasses?
I thought you didn't want them
so I threw them out when the housekeeper came by to clean today.
What a waste.
So stinky.
You searched the garbage cans?
Was that necessary just to find those broken sunglasses?
Stay away from me.
So stinky!
He was nice enough to lend them to me
so I should repair them and give them back to him.
That is reasonable
but didn't you say you really hated him and never wanted to see him again?
It's already so broken. Just throw it away.
I do dislike him
but he had good intentions when he lent them to me.
You've clearly never been taken advantage of before.
You think everybody is a good person.
I don't know if you're naive or stupid.
Yes.
That's why I need
a cool-headed, objective and unrivaled warrior like you to protect me.
- Stay away from me! - Protect me!
You're so stinky!
If I just get a new lens, the sunglasses will look as good as new, right?
I don't care. Hurry and get a shower. Go, go.
Annoying.
You're washing my clothes, Lin Xiao Ou!
These sunglasses all look the same.
Just find something similar to replace the lens.
This is a decades-old style.
Replacement parts are very difficult to find now.
I'm afraid I can't help you.
What am I going to do, then?
Is this pair of sunglasses really beyond saving?
I have an idea.
Could you search online? Maybe you'll find a pair just like it.
That's a good idea.
All right.
Go, go, go!
Yes!
Xiao Han!
Go for it!
Keep it up!
Go, go!
Number 1 gets the ball over here.
Then pass it to Number 2.
- Number 2 runs to here... - Xiao Han!
You got this!
Cross each other here.
Then pass the ball to Number 5.
Number 5 will then shoot.
- Got it? - Okay!
Go, go, go!
Yes!
Xiao Han, hang in there.
All right, done.
He's good?
No, no!
Take your time.
Chair, the chair!
Good thing you just had a light sprain and no bones or ligaments were injured.
Doctor, he really doesn't have to go to the hospital?
No. Give it a cold treatment today.
Use a cold compress for 10 to 15 minutes every two hours.
Keep it wrapped with an elastic bandage when not icing it to keep down swelling.
Keep the leg elevated most of the time to reduce swelling.
It's okay. This is nothing. I've experienced worse.
My dad said--
Don't mention him. What does Lu Da Zhi know?
Anyway, I have been injured more severely before.
It's okay. I'll be fine in a few days.
Don't treat it lightly just because it's not severe.
Don't exercise for a few days.
I'll get a spray for you.
Thank you, Doctor.
How are you? Is it bad?
It's not a severe sprain
but that was such foul behavior from Wang Yi Fu.
He clearly did it on purpose.
What are you saying? Bumping into each other is unavoidable on the court.
We've all fallen before.
That clearly wasn't his position but he pushed forward.
He was clearing picking a fight. You're standing up for him?
Everybody just wants to win. It's okay.
It's just a light injury.
Is there anyone at home to take care of you?
Miss, he doesn't have a home.
He's been staying at my house.
No, this won't do. Give me Shi Fei's number.
I need to have your guardian's contact information.
Lu Da Zhi was wrong. Shi Fei isn't my real father.
He was just my mom's good friend.
Well...
In your condition, you need to have a guardian.
If Shi Fei was your mom's good friend, then he must know your real father.
He said he doesn't know.
Don't worry, Miss. I can take care of myself.
Miss, don't worry.
Since he has nowhere to go, he'll be staying at my place.
My mom and I can take care of him.
Ms. Lin, don't worry about me.
- Where are you going? Don't! - Xiao Han!
Slow down, slow down!
This child.
Give that to me.
Thank you, ma'am.
Sorry for troubling you to come pick up Xiao Han.
Don't mention it.
I've been... busy lately due to other matters
so I've neglected Zhou Zhou.
I'm thankful Xiao Han has been keeping him company.
Now that he's injured, it's only right that I help out.
I've heard.
Not only are you letting him stay at your house
but also spending time to take care of him.
Thank you for taking the trouble.
I like Xiao Han.
Moreover, with what happened in his family
I should help out if I can.
It's already very hard to come by a kind soul in this society
who doesn't kick others when they're down.
You're even providing help in his hour of need.
Your praises are making me feel shy.
Actually, any mother would do this.
All right, if there's nothing else, we'll be leaving now, Ms. Lin.
- Be careful. - Ma'am.
Can we step aside to talk?
Go ahead.
It hurts so much.
I actually heard a bit about your divorce.
Who told you? How did you find out?
Did Zhou Zhou tell you?
No, no. I heard from a lawyer friend of mine.
Yes. I married Zhou Zhou's father when I was 20 years old.
Then I gave birth to Zhou Zhou.
All these years, his dad was busy with work
and paid little attention to the family.
I was the one who took care of the household and raised our kid
and paid last respects to my parents-in-law.
His father suddenly told me
we don't have anything in common anymore.
I've done my best all these years and become out of touch with society.
My life revolves around my family and Zhou Zhou.
He wants to divorce me and take Zhou Zhou with him.
Say...
I've lived for my family and my child.
If he takes Zhou Zhou away
then that's as good as taking my life away.
What would be the point of living?
- I might as well die! - Calm down, calm down.
Your mom cares a bit too much about me.
She's even crying.
What are they talking so long about?
I'm serious.
Your mom is so good to me. I feel bad about camping out at your house.
Don't worry about it.
As long as my dad doesn't take the house back...
you can even live with us until you get into college.
Would your dad be so heartless?
Are you still in touch with him?
My parents are divorcing.
I really hate my dad so I haven't contacted him.
Anyway, if we go to court, I'll insist on not living with my dad.
If he takes the house back...
No matter what, I'm staying with my mom.
You are a compassionate woman.
You treat Xiao Han so well, let alone your own child.
Zhou Zhou's father is using your affection for your child
and pretending to fight for custody.
But his true purpose seems to be for gaining more assets.
Thank you. Thank you, Ms. Lin, for giving me such useful information.
I will speak to my lawyer.
I'm really sorry. I don't know if it'll help.
I just think good people shouldn't be at a disadvantage.
- Thank you, thank you. - It's been hard on you.
- I have a favor to ask. - Tell me.
Can you not tell others about my divorce?
I'm afraid it'll affect Zhou Zhou. He's under a lot of stress--
Right, yes. I'll definitely keep it a secret.
Zhou Zhou is in adolescence.
He might need more of your attention to make it through this special period.
Okay, I know. I will pay attention. Thank you.
Hello?
Okay, I'm coming right away.
Wu Zheng, there's a problem outside. I'm going to take a look.
- Captain. - What's going on?
This is a youth soccer player.
They've been having group training.
He accidentally fell from the third floor and broke his leg.
Medical treatment here is subpar. He needs to go to Shanghai for surgery.
I'm sorry. We can't dismantle the seats without maintenance crew.
You're the last flight to Shanghai. This child's parents are worried sick.
They've found a good doctor and are waiting for us.
Hold on. I'll contact the operations center.
Okay, I understand.
Maintenance won't make it here on time.
Even if they finish dismantling, the airport will be closed by then.
If he can't go today, he'll lose his leg.
You're not back in good standing. Zheng hasn't cleared your record yet.
It's better to avoid unnecessary trouble.
I'll take him.
We can't secure him though.
If we encounter turbulence and worsen his injuries
then even if our superiors don't go after you
the patient's family will hold you accountable.
I will bear all responsibility.
How about this?
Have someone stay by him.
During takeoff, landing, and turbulence, someone must watch over him. Okay?
Rest assured.
- Okay, let's get going, then. - Wheel him in.
Be careful.
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I am the captain of this flight.
We have a special passenger on this flight
who needs to hurry to Shanghai for surgery.
I hope the passengers in the last row can make room for this passenger.
Passengers in the last row will be invited to move to business class.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Thank you.
I hope the little boy can still play soccer in the future
so as not to waste our warmhearted efforts in saving him.
Wu Zheng, you enjoy being a hero way too much.
After this flight, it's hard to say whether I'll be a hero or a coward.
Hey.
How come there's nothing in the fridge?
It's cleaner than your face.
Go downstairs and grab a bite.
Bring something back for me too. I'm busy.
I can't. I have a video chat appointment with your brother later.
I can't go out right now.
Then hurry up and go have your video chat.
I'm distracted when you're here and you're so noisy.
Why are you on the computer every day?
What are you working on?
Zhou Zheng Yi's divorce case.
How is it progressing so far?
You want to sneak a peek again?
You're now associated with the opposing party.
You have to stay away.
You pushed me?
To think I was going to make some tea for you.
I don't want it. It makes me bloated.
What about coffee? It's invigorating.
Go video chat! You're so noisy!
This Wang Shan is really tiring. She doesn't know how to do anything.
She turned the kitchen into a mess just by cooking one meal.
Jars and pots are left all over the place.
I have to clean up after her.
She also leaves her underwear out.
Sorry. It must be tough on you.
Ms. Wang usually does spoil Wang Shan quite a bit.
She's the child of a single parent. There's no helping it.
She's on her own over there. Bear with her.
I'm only helping her because of you.
Otherwise, I'd have kicked her out already.
Yes, you're such a good person.
See if there are other good people around you
and just find housing for her quickly.
I'm not a good person. You're the one who wants to be one.
You like to meddle even from so far away.
If you really love me, you'd come here sooner.
Then she won't be able to stay.
What happened?
See? I wonder what she broke now.
I have to go check. I'm worried about my things.
Miss you. Bye.
Miss you.
Lin Xiao Ou, did you get kicked in the head by a donkey?
How could you send a woman to live with my brother?
You're being too sensitive. Your brother isn't romantic at all.
He's only interested in test data.
Are you really stupid?
No matter how awkward two people are
feelings can still develop when they're in a foreign land.
Familiarity breeds fondness!
You dug a hole for yourself! I can't believe you.
I...
What's wrong with you lawyers?
Seen too many divorces?
You're so pessimistic about relationships.
Is Zhou Zheng Yi's case too difficult so you're taking it out on me?
You should just let him lose the case.
Isn't it the job of legal champions like you
to safeguard the interests of women and underage children?
I really want to punch you.
Xiao Han, don't tell me you regret deleting Lu Da Zhi's pictures.
You're still thinking about him?
He's probably living large somewhere and might not even be thinking of you.
I've thought up many ways to hate him and stop thinking about him.
But once I think of his name and face
I remember all the times he took care of me, spoiled me, and loved me.
I can't find it in me to hate him.
Okay, all right.
Grab your guitar. Play with me. Get familiar with the melody.
Come on. Stop looking.
Why aren't you saying anything to talk me round?
Would it work? You miss him but he doesn't miss you.
Yes, Mr. Bai. That's the current situation.
Yes.
You must know how things stand with them now.
You come up with a way. You're the lawyer.
I'm wondering if we should all meet and have a private negotiation.
I don't really want to go to court.
But I must have custody of Zhou Zhou.
Of course, we should try to gain the most assets after the divorce.
Mr. Bai, I'll call you later.
Zhou Zhou, aren't you guys studying? Why are you singing?
We're taking a break.
Why are you taking the cushion?
Xiao Han should cushion his bad foot.
Okay. 10 minutes is enough singing.
His leg is injured. He should sleep soon.
Okay, I know.
What are you looking for now?
[Old Boy]
