[Old Boy]
[Episode 11]
You have a one-track mind.
You should just stay in class. You can't leave students unattended.
If a student is missing, call his parents and tell them to search.
Why are you so worried? Just listen to me.
The student's parent is unreliable.
Why else would I be so flustered?
Reporting in!
Hi, Ke Man.
Miss Lin, I'm here to pick up our class's homework.
Okay.
Ke Man, tell the class to self-study and correct your homework.
I have to leave for urgent business. Help me keep the class in order.
Okay, I'll try my best.
Why aren't you at home so early in the morning? Where are you?
Are you at my house? Good. Don't leave. I have questions for you.
Okay, I'll be waiting.
I'm on my way back.
Okay, see you later.
Come here.
Stay.
Look at me.
Who's giving you a high-five? I'm not going to forgive you.
Why did you bite him last night? Talk.
Why aren't you talking? Why did you bite?
I don't need your protection. He was just kidding last night.
As a dog, you need to be able to take jokes.
I'll say this again.
Lay low as a dog. I have to keep a low profile too.
No more biting. If you bite again, I'll hit you.
Let's go.
Why do you have my suitcase?
Why are you here again? How did you get in?
Your things are pretty much all packed up.
Double-check them.
Who gave you the right to touch my things?
Wu Zheng is warmhearted but doesn't show it.
Do you know why he was suspended from flying?
It's because he was sympathetic toward a child around your age.
The child broke his leg.
He would be handicapped for life if he didn't receive timely treatment.
That's why Wu Zheng broke the rules and let the kid onto his plane.
In the end, he didn't receive a word of thanks and was even grounded.
Now you show up. What is he supposed to do?
This is still our family matter.
What does it have to do with you? You're not in the neighborhood committee.
Take a look.
What does this mean?
It means you two have no blood relation at all.
Give me your key.
Wu! I want to talk to you myself!
Don't bother shouting.
How awkward would it be to discuss this face-to-face?
Ever since your mom left, Wu hasn't had a proper relationship.
Now you've shown up. What is he going to do?
Don't bring my mom into this. Don't compare yourself to her.
- This has nothing to do with her! - I'm not comparing myself with your mom.
After they divorced, your mom began a new life.
Why can't he have a new love life too?
How can he begin a new love life? There's nobody he likes.
He doesn't like you!
Please give up on him.
What does a kid know about relationships?
Wu Zheng is older than me but he is still a kid at heart.
He needs someone to treat him well and look after him.
Let's talk about us. I hold no grudges against you.
Why would I set out to make your life difficult?
I love him. I want to treat him well.
I want to do everything I can for him. I--
You can tell him you love him.
I don't want to hear it.
I'm leaving.
Listen, don't fight with the kid when you get back.
Nothing good has happened to me ever since he came.
Don't blame this on a 16-year-old kid.
He's great.
You got a vaccine. Don't eat spicy foods. Don't smoke or drink either. Got it?
Let a dog bite you so you can live healthy too.
It's a privilege given to you by your son. Don't hand it off to me.
Xiao Wei just passed away and his foster father doesn't want him.
If you won't take him, I'm all that's left. I'll take him.
Watch where you touch me. I just got bitten. It hurts, you know?
You can take back your love.
Wen Li.
Hi! Hello.
How did you get in?
I remember this isn't your first time.
I found your little secret.
I'm not here to steal. I'm here to share some love.
The kid came back?
Yes, he packed up and left.
Did you kick him out?
Why would I do that?
He saw the paternity test and left on his own.
What?
Explain the paternity test first.
Look at how messy your place has gotten after the kid came.
He even brought a dog.
You're allergic to dog hair. How could I not step in?
Whether I'm allergic to dog hair or not and whether I'm keeping the kid or not
is entirely my business.
Why are you meddling?
Why did you get that paternity test done?
See for yourself. You two have no blood relation at all.
That's none of your business either!
Why are you so unappreciative?
I'm helping you. Why are you yelling at me?
Ridiculous.
Can you not take out my house key and come in when I'm not home?
Wait, Wen Li!
Look at... the test samples.
Forget about the samples! Drink your water!
Please wait up.
Give this back to the guy upstairs.
Did you come to my house to debate because I wasn't clear on the phone?
I'm in no mood for that. Don't you have classes to teach?
Aren't you being overly responsible?
That's from your girlfriend. Where's Xiao Han?
He's not here.
He's not here? Then shouldn't you be talking to me?
He moved out. He and I have nothing to do with each other.
How can you be so irresponsible?
Responsibility doesn't pay the bills.
My house is in this state because I'm too responsible.
You're an adult. Admit to your mistakes.
Aren't you embarrassed to push the blame onto others?
Hello, Ms. Lin.
Uh... Don't stoop to his level.
You don't know what happened last night. It was very dramatic.
Come on in.
Get her some water!
- Here you are, Ms. Lin. - Thank you.
Think about it.
He is a professional pilot.
He's been flying for over 10 years.
He's suddenly suspended from flying. He must be very upset.
I don't want to hear about that.
I just know that he is legally the child's guardian
so he cannot just ignore the child.
I know that.
But the kid has legs.
He is free to go where he wants.
Who am I to stop him?
Enough!
He... He was bit by a dog.
It's true. We just got back from the hospital.
We didn't think the kid would return and move out while we were away.
Either way, Xiao Han's mother just passed away
and his foster father has spurned him.
He finally found his way here.
Can you imagine his helplessness?
Now you've even upset him with a paternity test.
You people are so cruel!
No, Ms. Lin, we aren't sure about the paternity test either.
You're not sure but you still say there's no blood relation?
Do you know you've already hurt him just by getting the paternity test?
If you really wanted to know
you could've waited until he was mentally stable.
Yes, we handled this improperly.
I've actually found Xiao Han's foster father's whereabouts.
I considered whether I should tell him but he insisted on staying here.
I can't believe you would be so disappointing.
Yes, we are in the wrong.
No matter what, how can an adult like you
make life so difficult for an underage child?
Xiao Han's closest family is now Oscar.
How could you have so little compassion?
Adults are human, not gods.
A dog bit me! I'm the victim here!
You're asking a victim to continuously show tolerance.
It's like when you got into the wrong car in Australia
and still made others help you.
You're a teacher. How can you have double standards?
How do you teach students?
Enough! Can't you keep your mouth shut?
Ms. Lin, he...
He just had a vaccine shot and is experiencing side effects.
He was biting others earlier.
Uh... Why don't you do it for my sake?
Our first priority is to think about where the kid went.
Now you're in a hurry to find him?
Why did you kick him out in the first place?
Yes, we were in the wrong.
Do you know the places he frequents and any close friends he has?
I've asked around. His phone is off.
He hasn't contacted his best friend either.
I heard he was asking around last night where he could get a computer repaired.
Turns out it was for you.
Ms. Lin, I'll walk you out.
No need.
There's something we haven't dealt with yet.
I saw your car.
I'm so sorry that I haven't contacted you yet.
I really haven't had the time.
Let's find Xiao Han first.
I hope you can also help search.
Don't worry. I'd search for him even if you didn't ask.
If Xiao Han had a place to go
he wouldn't have had to rely on such an irresponsible person.
I don't care if they're actually father and son.
Xiao Han's mother was still his ex-wife and a good friend of yours.
If anything happens to him, you two will have played a part.
Can you give me his foster father's number?
Why? You want to send the kid back to him?
No, I'm afraid the kid had nowhere else to go
and went back to his foster father.
You should know Wu Zheng really didn't know about the paternity test.
Someone else ordered it.
You just came bearing down on him with your scolding.
He was wrongly accused.
But that was a good lecture. He deserved it.
All right. I have to get back to school. Call me if anything happens.
Okay.
- Where are you going? - Get in the car.
- Wait, where are you going? - To look for the kid.
Do you even know where he is?
I'll search the whole city.
All right, don't panic. I know a place.
- How did you find out? - Let's go.
Just let the employees do this. You're the owner now.
I don't mind doing it.
This is our business. I'd be happy doing anything for it.
Customers are everything to us.
As long as they'll make a purchase, I'd even be willing to shine their shoes.
Hello, how can I help you?
Uh... Is Mr. Lu Da Zhi here?
That's me.
Are you the one who's here to make a purchase by CEO Wang's recommendation?
No.
I am... Xiao Wei's ex-husband.
I'd like to speak to you about Xiao Han.
How did you find me here?
I only came for one thing.
Can you take Xiao Han back?
Take care of him until he's 18 years old.
What do you mean by this? Did Xiao Han say something to you?
Since you found me here, just get to the point. How much money do you want?
No, no.
It's not about money. You're mistaken.
I...
I really can't develop a bond with the kid.
He seems to want to be with you more.
Do you want money? That's not a problem. I can pay.
Just take care of him until he graduates high school.
Hold on.
Is something wrong with you?
Xiao Han is your son.
I took care of him for you for 16 years. Is that not enough?
How can you pass him back to me?
If he were willing to stay with me, I wouldn't be here.
That darn kid--
Xiao Han has a very tough temperament.
Actually, Mr. Lu...
Xiao Han seems strong and tough on the outside
but he's very soft, fragile, and sensitive on the inside.
When he sleeps...
he keeps calling out for you.
He also cries.
He's very pitiful.
Think about it.
I've been waiting upon him for years. Of course he wants to be with me.
You should ask if I want to though.
How's this?
I'll give you all my money.
You just have to take care of him for another two years.
Actually, it's not even two years. What do you say?
I've always been curious what kind of person you were
to make Xiao Wei so determined to leave you even when she was pregnant.
Now I understand after meeting you.
I feel sorry for Xiao Wei.
Sorry, I can't help you with this.
Don't come to me again.
I don't want anything to do with you and your son from now on.
All right.
Okay.
I won't come see you again.
But either way, Mr. Lu
thank you for bringing up Xiao Han all these years.
I will not bother you again.
However, I hope you can do me one favor.
If Xiao Han comes looking for you or if you have any news of him
please make sure to inform me.
I will send you my number later. Goodbye.
What do you mean? Xiao Han ran away from home?
Explain yourself before leaving!
What's going on?
The kid ran away.
Just let him be.
You're not related by blood. Stop thinking about him.
You'd still think about watering a plant, adding fertilizer, and trimming it.
He's a child.
Oh, save it.
If you place such importance to that mother and son
then where do I fit in?
We've emptied out Xiao Wei's business over the years
and opened such a big store.
Where do you think your place is in my heart?
What did his foster father say?
I shouldn't have come on this fool's errand.
Rebuffed?
That's to be expected.
He took care of him for 16 years and finally tossed this hot potato.
Why would he take the kid back?
How could Xiao Wei find a dad like this for Xiao Han?
He sure is unattractive.
Creepy and ugly.
He's also very narrow-minded.
He thought I was here to extort money from him.
Xiao Wei probably had no other choice.
Think about it.
Is there any man who would accept a newly-divorced pregnant woman?
It's all your fault!
Yes, I wasn't very responsible back then and I wouldn't have been a good dad.
But look at how Xiao Han turned out with this guy.
If not because Xiao Han kept talking about him every day
I wouldn't bother begging him.
You begged him?
Don't joke. Would you humble yourself?
So what now?
Are you planning on letting the kid live with him? Can you bear to let him go?
Either way, that's no longer an option.
From the moment I stepped in, he didn't ask about Xiao Han at all.
To think Xiao Han had called out and cried for him in the middle of the night.
Is that undisguised jealousy?
I'm jealous of him? A shameless, greedy small business owner?
There was also a woman in there.
Just as ugly as him. A perfect match!
You're not jealous of him?
You haven't said one good thing about him since you came out.
Enough, don't be jealous.
If you want Xiao Han to care about you, you should care about him too.
Let's talk in the car. It's so hot out here.
- Where are you searching next? - We're not.
Shi Fei, look over there.
- No, it's not him. - It's not?
Eyes on the road.
What did your friend say just now?
He said when kids go out and don't have much money
they go to basketball courts or skating rinks.
Fill up on gas later. I'm guessing we'll be searching until night.
Keep thinking about where he might have gone.
He didn't go to Lu Da Zhi and he doesn't have much money.
He couldn't have gone far.
Let's cruise around nearby again.
Money is easy to find.
He can play the guitar.
He could go to any bar to play a few tunes and earn 200 yuan.
Who would listen to him play?
He also has a lot of pride. He definitely wouldn't...
Shi Fei, listen.
Is someone playing the guitar and singing?
You're hearing things.
There are bars everywhere. That would be normal.
Have you seen the kid with the guitar?
We dreamed of having a Gibson when we were kids.
He really used to live like a prince. This is very tough for the kid.
He should experience a tough life.
He deserves it for being so surly.
He should pay the price for being headstrong.
He should be able to be resilient if he wants to be a real man.
This will be good for him.
Why don't we report this to the police?
That's not necessary yet.
Then think about where he could be.
How do I do that?
When we're together, we're not chatting, we're bickering.
We've never said one tender word to each other.
We lock horns every day.
He's just like Xiao Wei.
Tough, too much pride, too much ego.
How can I understand him?
Just like Xiao Wei? He's clearly just like you.
Hurry up and cool down so we can keep searching.
Ms. Lin.
- What is it? - Everybody's worried about Xiao Han.
A lot of students want to go out to search for him.
No need to. Xiao Han's family is already searching for him.
But if Xiao Han contacts any of you, make sure to inform me immediately.
Okay, Miss.
Hello.
Mr. Wu, have you found Xiao Han?
Ms. Lin, we haven't found him.
This kid is set on running away. Where am I supposed to find him?
Ms. Lin.
Don't be mad. He's just worried about the child.
We've been looking but don't have any clue.
I'm leaving from the school now.
We should split up and search
the music stores, pet stores, and stadiums near the house.
All right.
Isn't this woman annoying? Why is she always in other people's business?
Isn't she afraid she can't get married?
She's quite pretty. Why wouldn't she be able to get married?
She said she has a boyfriend.
She has a boyfriend in Australia. I've seen him before.
He doesn't like like a fool. Why would he like her?
I'm guessing because it's a long-distance relationship
she has a lot of free time to be such a busybody.
Isn't she afraid her boyfriend will run off?
Do you have such a big grudge that you'd curse her?
You're blaming her for your kid's bad grades?
Your kid ran away from home.
She's nice enough to help search and you find her annoying.
You're so hard to please. No wonder your son doesn't want you.
When I find him, I'm going to give him a talking to.
What are kids these days thinking? They only care about their own feelings.
So are we looking or not?
We're looking. How can we not?
Ms. Lin said pet stores, stadiums, and what else?
- Music stores. - We haven't gone there yet.
It's almost nighttime.
Let's hurry.
Where should we go first?
Let's go to the pet store.
Pet store. Okay.
Mrs. Zhou.
- Are you here to pick up Zhou Zhou? - No, that's not it.
I think Zhou Zhou has been acting weird lately.
I wanted you to take a look. I'm afraid he has a crush.
Help me see which girl in school he drew in this drawing.
Then I can have a talk with her.
That can't be. Zhou Zhou's either at school or at home.
He probably won't...
I really can't tell who it is.
Besides, you can't conclude that he's fallen in love with just a drawing.
But Zhou Zhou is different from before.
He locks himself in his room as soon as he comes home.
He doesn't let me ask him anything.
He wasn't like this before. He used to tell me everything.
Why would he be like this unless he's in love?
All kids going through puberty are like that.
Zhou Zhou is your child, not an item you own.
Besides, he's already 16 years old. He has his own opinions and privacy.
You should respect him.
If he really does develop a budding affection
it's not the end of the world.
Just be mindful of your attitude and adjust your way of approaching it
and you won't make him want to rebel.
Ms. Lin, I understand that.
I'm just anxious. Exams are coming up.
If he continues like this, his grades will drop.
Then what will we do?
I will take note of that.
I suggest you return this drawing to where it was before.
It'd be better to pretend you don't know.
There's something I have to do so I have to go now. Stay in touch.
Ms. Lin, have you forgotten you're tutoring Zhou Zhou in English today?
I'm really sorry. It's like this. Xiao Han has run away from home.
This is more pressing than tutoring lessons.
How about this?
I'll look for Xiao Han today and I'll tutor Zhou Zhou next week.
I'll give him a systematic overview. How's that?
Ms. Lin, Xiao Han is your student but Zhou Zhou is also your student.
Besides, Xiao Han is already so old.
Maybe he just went out to clear his mind and have a little fun.
Lessons will only take an hour.
Going to look for him an hour later won't make much of a difference.
No, his phone has been off the whole day.
I heard from Zhou Zhou
he was asking around about computer repairs last night.
But he's completely unreachable now.
I'm worried something might have happened to him.
You sure do have unconditional trust in these kids.
You believe everything they say.
Of course.
I've told them they don't have to tell the whole truth
but if they are to say something, it must be the truth.
As expected from one who interacts with children all day.
You have a pure heart.
The kids are all grown up now. They might not tell you everything.
Zhou Zhou and Xiao Han are such close friends.
Who knows what plans they're hatching behind our backs.
Anyway, Ms. Lin, you promised me you would tutor Zhou Zhou.
You're a teacher.
Teachers should keep to their word. Right?
All right.
I'll go to your house now to tutor Zhou Zhou.
Okay!
When you tutor him, talk to him about the importance of studying abroad.
- Thank you. - All right.
Come this way, Ms. Lin.
Miss.
Let's get started.
Zhou Zhou.
Am I usually good to you?
Very good. You care a lot about us.
Do you think of me as your best friend?
Miss, just be direct. Let's not beat around the bush.
But let me say this first. I really don't know where Xiao Han is.
If I knew, I'd definitely tell you.
All right.
As his best friend, I trust you won't conceal what you know
causing him to have to sleep out on the streets.
Let's start the lesson.
I'm a bit pressed for time today. I have something to do later.
I'll begin with the use of prepositions.
Why don't you turn off your phone?
Or check your messages first. I'll begin the lesson later.
It's okay. Let's begin.
For, on, in.
Let's go over these three first.
Okay, let's take this example.
"Don't take it for granted that they will support you."
We usually add "that" after a prepositional phrase like this. Then--
Zhou Zhou, you're distracted today.
I think it's best if we have this lesson another day.
Actually, I'm just like you.
I have to find Xiao Han today.
I'm very worried about him.
I believe you are the same.
Miss.
Can I trust you?
Of course you can.
Miss.
This is the message Xiao Han sent me.
I need some money for lodging. Can you lend me some?
I also saw Ms. Lin. Come out when you can.
I'll be waiting at the overpass outside your housing estate.
Don't tell her.
Thank you for telling me.
Reply to him that you'll meet him there in 15 minutes.
Don't tell him I'll come along.
Miss, that won't be so good. You'd be selling me out.
Do you have money?
My mom has been keeping a tight hold on finances lately.
I'll have to try pestering her.
Would she give you money if you told her this?
Would you be able to explain?
I can give you money.
I can also help cover up the fact that you're going out to see him.
Okay.
Let's pack up.
Mom, you're eavesdropping again?
Eavesdropping? I'm bringing green tea to Ms. Lin.
Ms. Lin, didn't you just start? It's over already?
Situational teaching.
I'm going to take him out to practice in real situations.
- Situational teaching? - Yes.
Okay, go on.
Situational teaching?
- Miss, your shoes. - Thank you.
Ms. Lin, you're leaving so quickly. I nearly forgot to pay you for lessons.
We agreed I'm tutoring for free.
It's only normal to accept payment for lessons.
Don't worry. I won't tell the school.
This is just compensation.
No, I promised you I'd tutor Zhou Zhou. I kept to my word.
You also promised me you wouldn't pay.
If you go back on your word, I won't come again.
All right, whatever you want, then.
It was rather hurried today.
Next time, I'll prepare the best fruits and tea for you.
Thank you for going through this trouble for Zhou Zhou.
You're too polite. We're tight on time so I won't stay to chat.
- Okay. - I can't talk for long.
All right, go two go on.
- Here's your bag, Ms. Lin. - Thank you.
- Have a good day. - Bye.
Ms. Lin, Ms. Lin.
Xiao Han!
- Xiao Han! - Xiao Han, don't run!
Hurry!
Xiao Han!
Ms. Lin!
- Ms. Lin, are you all right? - Don't worry about me! Go after him!
Forget it, Miss. I won't be able to catch up to him.
Besides, I betrayed him. He'll be ignoring me now.
He'll tell us everything when he goes to school anyway.
Miss, come.
What are you doing?
Your leg is injured. I'll carry you.
No need. I can walk.
No, don't. Be careful, Miss.
You don't look too heavy.
I'll carry you to a taxi and get you home.
Come on. Miss, get on.
Get on quickly.
Okay, let's go.
- Be careful! - Okay.
Okay, you can go now.
Thank you.
Get back to me when you see this.
Anything?
Have you reached Xiao Han?
He hasn't replied to my messages.
I left him a voice message and told him to reply when he gets it.
We should've first found out where he's staying and then caught him there.
I was too careless.
Give me my bag.
Strange. You haven't slept in days. You're not sleepy?
If you're sleepy, I'll drive.
Forget it. I got it.
I want to live a few more years. I've slept more than you.
Hello? Have you found him?
An hour ago
I saw Xiao Han at Baolong Plaza.
You might catch him if you hurry over there.
You let him get away?
I sprained my ankle and couldn't catch up to him.
Why are you blaming me right off the bat?
Do I owe it to you?
I don't owe him either.
He hung up on me again.
Is it that really annoying person?
Shi Fei, we're not looking anymore. Let's go to Old Street Bistro for dinner.
What's going on?
Lin Xiao Ou found Xiao Han.
He ran off really quickly. What does that mean?
It means he still has energy and is doing just fine.
We don’t need to worry about him. Let's go eat.
Miss, let me help.
Okay, thank you.
Come on.
Take your time.
- I'm okay. I got this. - Slow down.
Okay, thank you. Hurry on home.
If Xiao Han contacts you tonight
make sure to let me know, no matter how late it is.
I'm guessing he's mad at me and won't be contacting me.
I'm sorry. I didn't take everything into account and put you in a tight spot.
Go home or else your mom will be worried.
Okay.
- Walk slowly. - I'll be okay.
Ms. Lin, you'd better not fall again.
If you do, I'm not carrying you again.
I made an estimation. You must be at least...
Over 52.5 kilograms.
44!
Okay, 44 kilograms...
Slow down, Ms. Lin!
- Okay. - See you tomorrow!
Bye bye.
Sir, let's go.
So has Xiao Ou been coming home this late every day?
No. Something probably came up at the school today.
Oh, right. A student of hers has had some complications at home.
Talk to her. It's better to avoid trouble.
There's no need to take everything so seriously.
Is someone at your house?
Nobody.
It's just me.
Uh... I have work to do. Why don't we talk another day?
Hold on.
That's a women's pajamas.
I'm guessing Wang Shan forgot it when was moving a few days ago.
You didn't notice such a bold-patterned pajama on your sofa?
Ye Xin.
How come she's there again?
What's going on? You'd better explain.
Explain what?
She and a few classmates came to my house yesterday for a gathering.
She drank too much and stayed the night. Is there a problem with that?
No wonder you forgot to call Dad on his birthday even when I reminded you.
It was because of her.
It didn't have anything to do with her. I forgot.
It was already the next morning when I remembered. Was there a need to call?
I sense something off about you.
I'm going to tell Lin Xiao Ou to interrogate you.
Will you stop jumping to conclusions?
There's nothing going on between Wang Shan and I.
You're my sister. Why are you always treating me like this?
I always take the side of reason.
Xiao Ou is back. Perfect. You can talk to her.
Hey!
[Old Street Bistro]
Here we are.
No, Mr. Qun.
