[Episode 13]
We carefully select our DNA samples
and try our best to preserve the accuracy of the samples.
We typically take about three to five samples from cigarette butts.
They must be DNA left from a recent smoke, dry, and free from ash.
Recent?
Could it be from two months prior?
No.
I also have a memory of this sample.
I'm the one who received the samples when they were brought in.
That's why I'm sure they were recently-smoked cigarettes.
I knew this couldn't be trusted.
All right, I got it. Sorry about this.
Sir, if you disagree with the paternity test results
you can apply for a retest.
It's free of charge. You can apply for it at any time.
We save the samples for one month.
After one month, we handle the samples at our discretion.
You can throw them out. Let me tell you this.
Those cigarette butts aren't mine.
I quit smoking two months ago.
So you're saying the DNA sample came from the wrong person.
Then would you like a new test?
- We can retrieve a sample at your house. - No, no.
We provide a guarantee on accuracy and your privacy.
No need. I trust in your authority on this. But no, thanks.
- I'm leaving. Goodbye. - Sir!
Xiao Han.
Let's sit down somewhere and discuss your future plans.
I'm really tired and sleepy.
I don't want to talk. How about another day?
Where are you sleeping?
Outside of the school gates, we're not teacher and student anymore.
I don't need to report everything to you.
You're right. Outside of the school gates, I'm not your teacher.
I'm your friend though.
You can tell your friend where you got that money.
It was by honest means. All right? Stop hounding me about it.
Okay, I believe you wouldn't go after ill-gotten gains.
Then tell me where you left Oscar while you were at school.
Since you think of me as a friend
then stop bringing up this sore subject.
I'm really sleepy.
Take care.
[Youth Hostel]
Thank you. Enjoy your stay.
Hello. Can I help you?
Which room is the student that just came in staying in?
Who? We don't accept students.
That's not possible. I just saw someone wearing a school uniform come in.
I followed him in.
This isn't a big place. How could you not have seen him?
We're not a big place but we do have a business license.
Besides, we also have to protect our clients' privacy.
We won't provide anyone with the chance to break the law.
You're not breaking the law?
My student looks quite tall but he's only 16 years old.
Illegal sheltering of underage persons is against the law.
You sound like his teacher.
I don't get it, then.
Teachers don't know much about law, do they?
The law grants those above 16 years of age
the right to independently book a room.
If you don't know the law, why are you disputing this with me?
Sometimes, you teachers are just so--
Hey!
Hey! You can't go in!
Goodness. You can't go in.
Wait!
What are you doing?
Ma'am! Ma'am!
Miss, don't knock!
These are guest rooms!
Oh gosh!
Wait, Miss!
Miss, people are resting in these guest rooms!
- Who are you looking for? - Sorry.
Sorry for the disturbance. Go back to rest.
Stop knocking! Stop knocking!
These are all students who will be taking art school entrance exams.
They're... having a hard enough time.
116. He's in Room 116.
Knock lightly!
How can you be living here?
Where else would I live?
This is a personal matter.
Outside of school, you have no right to meddle.
If you keep this up, I won't go to school anymore.
I'm exhausted.
Where's your dog? Are dogs allowed here?
How can I take care of a dog when I'm in this state?
I sold him.
Now I know where you got the money.
It must've been hard on you.
Pack your things and come with me.
I said I won't go to school anymore if you won't leave me alone.
If you want to quit school, there are formalities to complete.
You'll need the school's approval first.
As long as you're still my student, I'll be up in your business.
That bag isn't mine.
What about that?
None of those are.
You're checking out on your own. I'm not refunding the deposit.
How much is the daily rate?
100 yuan a day.
When he came in
I saw he didn't have much money so I only charged a 100 yuan deposit.
This should be enough.
Let's go.
Come in, come in.
How come you're back so early today?
Right, let me make introductions.
This is Xiao Han, the one I often talked about.
He'll be staying for a while.
I'll give him my room tonight and I'll room with you.
Where are you sleeping?
Your bed.
Didn't we use to have slumber parties?
Okay, let's have a slumber party right now.
- So early? - Yes.
Go look in the fridge for something to eat or drink.
Make yourself at home.
Come on.
Relax!
Offering shelter to your student is fine.
I don't have a problem with a day or a week.
But you're going to Australia soon. Then I'll be left with him.
Am I co-renting with him or am I adopting him?
That hasn't crossed my mind.
Please, Sis. You brought back an underage child.
If anything were to happen, who will be held responsible?
You're just a teacher. You can't think of yourself as a parent.
That's overstepping the limits of your role.
You don't know how pitiful he is.
He sold his dog
and was living in a six-person room at a small inn.
I couldn't bear to see him homeless so I brought him home.
Letting him stay here isn't a long-term solution.
He's not of age yet but he's a big boy.
It'll be inconvenient for us ladies.
Besides, I don't wear much when I sleep.
That's why I'm rooming with you and letting him take my room.
You can just put on more clothes at home and be mindful of what you wear.
This is my home.
Fine, I'll wear a padded jacket tomorrow.
That's not what I mean!
I just don't want to see a nice child suffering when he doesn't deserve it.
You're his teacher. You should be helping him by all accounts.
But there are so many people suffering. Can you help them all?
If you have free time, you should check in on my brother instead.
What's wrong with your brother?
Not much.
I just think... he's been a bit weird. Pay more attention to him.
Don't try to divert my attention by bringing up your brother.
We'll be rooming together tonight. I'll think of something later.
Xiao Han.
Did you find something to eat?
Where is he?
It's all your fault!
He doesn't have a home to return to.
I finally brought him back here and he runs off again!
Why are you blaming me? You should blame his two fathers.
That's true.
One father isn't reliable and the other ran out on him.
His so-called biological father even got a paternity test done
and washed his hands of him.
Have you seen the report?
You're taking him for his word?
You're right.
- Where are you going? - I'm going to find him.
Stop.
Am I seeing things? Where did you come from?
- Give me the evidence. - What evidence?
The paternity test result. I want to see it for myself.
I have to head out. I don't have time to deal with you.
Why should I explain myself to you?
You're dressed up. Are you going on a date?
Do you know Xiao Han is living in a six-person room at an inn?
How can you be in the mood?
He's not a young kid.
He was spoiled before. It'll be good for him to face some hardship.
I won't object to that
but he's still underage and has no source of income.
He's living in an inn with mixed company.
He doesn't get enough sleep or food. He's not focused in class.
Doesn't get enough sleep?
What's the big deal about that?
When I was his age, I was a real go-getter.
I was already earning money by manning a watermelon stand for my neighbor.
All right, I can't talk. I have to go.
Hold on!
You're really leaving?
Do you know Xiao Han even sold his dog for you?
It's because you're afraid of dogs and drove him out.
He only sold Oscar because he had no other choice.
I'm sure you know how attached he was to Oscar.
Then you even went to the school to criticize him
and accused him of getting money through dishonest means.
Do you know how upsetting that was for him?
Watch out.
Hey!
You're a hard-hearted fellow!
What's this?
Found your conscience?
I am a gentleman.
It wasn't easy for you to make your way here with a sprained ankle.
Here's what. Give me his address and I'll go look for him.
You should hurry home and rest.
I dragged him to my house earlier but he ended up running away again.
I'm guessing he returned to this inn.
I'll go with you.
No, don't. This is a matter between men. It's none of your concern.
I'm his teacher. I'm definitely going.
I'll be honest. You're the type I dislike the most.
Standing on your moral high ground and overly critical of other's lives
and thinking your life is all roses.
I don't need you in my life.
Go take a hike.
Hey, Captain Zheng. It's Wu Zheng.
Wu Zheng!
Listen, something really pressing came up.
Please tell the guys I won't be coming today.
Sorry, Captain Zheng.
Are you kidding?
Everybody's here. We're just waiting for you.
What's more pressing than your reinstatement?
I was just telling them about this. You're really putting on airs.
Sorry, Captain.
I apologize. It'll be my treat next time.
I'll just leave it to one sentence.
Sorry, bye!
How come you're back?
Can I stay in the bed I had before?
I just cleaned it and was just about to rent it out to someone else.
That bed is in demand.
Ma'am, help me out here.
I don't have anywhere else to go and you still have my deposit.
All right, all right.
- You can continue staying here. - Thank you.
If it weren't because you look a bit like my idol
oh, and one more thing, you're not too lousy with the guitar
I wouldn't be making an exception for you.
Thank you.
All right, it'll be the same bed.
- Okay. - Oh, right, kid.
Do you know how to play "Hotel California"?
I'm not requesting a song. I'm just asking.
All right. I'll look for the music score later.
The song has a long solo though. I'm afraid I can't play it well.
It's okay. Keep practicing.
By the way, be gentle with the building facilities.
Don't break anything.
Okay.
Hello. Can I help you?
I'm looking for someone.
Xiao Han, go home with me.
Leave with me.
You're not even my dad! Who are you to order me around?
Do you think I want to?
I once loved your mom.
I can't watch her son go astray.
Otherwise, I won't be able to explain to your mom when I see her after I die!
I made some inquiries about the paternity test.
The cigarette butt that Fei Wen Li took
was the error.
That was a cigarette your Uncle Shi smoked.
That means the paternity test was wrong.
That can only prove I'm not related to Uncle Shi Fei
not that I'm related to you.
You came to seek shelter from me. You are if I say you are.
You have no proof!
Why don't we draw some blood right now and verify it?
What age are we in? You want to see if our blood mixes?
Listen up, kid.
No backtalk today! Hurry up and get going.
You can do what you want when you turn 18.
But you're coming with me today! Get up!
Pack your things then leave with me.
Excellent.
Are you sure?
You want to take apart such expensive sunglasses?
Just use it to replace the lens on the broken pair.
This pair of sunglasses must have cost you a fair bit of money.
The old pair doesn't look all old either.
This is an unprofitable trade.
Oh well.
This old pair is irreplaceable to a certain someone.
Repair it.
Okay, I'll do that right now.
Mr. Zhou, calm down.
I believe you can have
a deeper discussion with Ms. Ding regarding management of the business.
Discuss? How?
She won't even answer my calls.
When angry enough, she won't even let me see my son.
If she just wanted to take the money and immigrate, I'd be fine with that.
I might not be able to see my son, but at least I could save the company.
But now, she wants everybody to suffer.
It's only been a month since she took over
but she's already fired many senior workers.
All the employees are nervous and in no mood to work.
Business has sharply declined.
It won't be too long before she runs the company into the ground.
Okay, I understand.
This is pressing and we mustn't wait for her to destroy the company.
I suggest you contact the shareholders
and quickly call for a shareholders' meeting
to remove Ding Fang Ru's decision-making power.
I've already tried contacting the shareholders.
But my divorce with her has had a very negative impact on my image.
On the other hand, it has gained her a lot of sympathy.
Then let's continue to collect evidence to target her.
All right, we'll take it one step at a time.
All right, that's all for now. See you tomorrow.
Who were you talking to that you had to hide it from me?
Secret.
Secret?
Did my mom drop by?
Yes. Your dad told you to go home for dinner but you didn't.
Your mom brought some food over instead.
How did it go with Xiao Han?
It's been resolved.
He's where he should be.
Let's eat!
Time for dinner!
Young people should be full of vitality.
This is the paternity test.
Have a seat.
I'll speak first.
Regardless of who ordered this paternity test
I have to apologize first
because I didn't consider your feelings.
With or without this verification, you will still be my son.
That is an indisputable point.
Let's wipe the slate clean and get along from now on.
Seeing how sincere you are, I'll forgive you for the time being.
Can I make some suggestions though?
As a first-time father, I lack experience.
Comments and criticisms are welcome.
Your bark is worse than your bite.
Those who know you well don't want to bother with you.
Those who don't know you well really want to punch you.
Hold your horses. I'm not done yet.
You're definitely exceptional at your job. I fully acknowledge that.
If you could just be more amenable, you'd be the crème de la crème.
Is that a praise or an insult?
My job? Do you know how to fly a plane?
I don't know how to fly a plane but I know how to be a son.
I've been a son for 16 years. You're just a new dad.
My suggestions come from the bottom of my heart.
You should heed my advice.
Okay. I'll correct any mistakes or guard against them.
Shouldn't you apologize to me though?
What should I apologize for? Why should I apologize to you?
Yes, Oscar bit you. That's a failure on my part in disciplining him.
However, I already sold my dog.
I've been starving and homeless for days.
I had to seek shelter from the rain in a small cardboard box
crying and playing the guitar with a stinky homeless man next to me.
Did I make any complaints? Have you ever experienced that?
Was I talking about that? No, I wasn't.
I meant you just up and left when Fei Wen Li told you to.
When were you ever so obedient?
Why didn't you get all the facts straight first?
I call the shots in this house.
Where's the basic trust we should have in each other?
Who was it that said we should get along from now on?
You're already rehashing old scores?
Fine.
Didn't you camp out in a cardboard box for a night?
You didn't sleep well and you're tired. Right?
Go organize your things and take a shower.
Get a good night's sleep first. Okay?
Your mom says you should make a visit home.
I said you'll call her if you won't be going.
Okay.
Who were you on the phone with?
How come I heard Ding Fang Ru's name?
Why? Are you trying to get information from me again?
No way!
I have a warning for you though.
Keep your distance from Ding Fang Ru. She's dangerous.
That must be an exaggeration.
I've been tutoring Zhou Zhou in English recently
and have had close contact with her.
She is a bit neurotic
but that's because she's been a housewife for years
and hasn't adjusted to socializing again.
In addition, Zhou Zhou also seems to be developing a crush on someone.
She's a bit overwhelmed at the moment.
You've never been a good judge of character.
Those who seem weak and harmless are always the most formidable.
Every person has a side they don't show others.
Don't be deceived.
If Ding Fang Ru takes a bite out of you one day, you'll finally see clearly.
Is it that serious?
Yes! Very serious.
Take a bite.
Oscar.
Oscar, happy birthday.
Actually...
I can relate to how you feel about losing a pet.
I had a turtle when I was young.
I was very attached to it.
My mom, as in your grandma, was a model worker back then
and was never home.
It was the turtle that kept me company every day.
I told the turtle everything.
Isn't Uncle Shi Fei your childhood friend?
- He-- - How come you didn't have friends?
- He was just a sidekick. - Sidekick?
No wonder he always lets you have your way.
Stop interrupting me.
I'm getting to the main part. Do you want to hear it?
Yes. Keep going.
One day, the old gramps next door... became paralyzed.
My mom heard of a folk remedy from somewhere.
Turtle soup supposedly cures partial paralysis.
So, she offered up my turtle.
I came home from school and went looking for it.
I wanted to play with my turtle but couldn't find it.
At the old gramp's house next door, I saw my turtle turn into turtle soup.
I burst into tears.
My mom spanked me.
It was the first time she spanked me. I still remember that feeling.
It was like losing a family member.
What was your turtle's name?
Lightning.
Lightning's situation was completely different from Oscar's.
Oscar just has a new owner.
If I really miss him, I could still see him if I endlessly pester his owner.
Lightning was very unfortunate.
I was heartbroken for days after Lightning became soup.
Later on, your grandma bought me a model airplane
and I became obsessed with model airplanes.
Your grandma really supported me in that.
That proves my grandma was better than you.
She learned from her mistakes and made changes
unlike you, always ranting about my guitar playing.
I heard from Uncle Shi Fei that you were also in a band when you were young.
Tell me about it.
It's in the past.
Don't listen to your Uncle Shi Fei.
He's a counterexample.
Music can be played for pleasure but it can't pay the bills.
Now I believe it.
You and my mom were definitely married before.
Why do you say that?
The argument you're using to persuade me to stop playing music
is exactly the same as what my mom said.
I actually think Uncle Shi Fei is living a great life.
What's wrong with relying on your own talent to make a living?
Enough, enough.
What Shi Fei does isn't called music. Let's not talk about this.
You have school tomorrow.
Your teacher says you doze off in class.
Go to sleep.
What are you doing?
You can't tell? It's a doghouse.
What do you think? Isn't it well-structured?
There will be a front door and a back door.
Perfect.
I've been working on it all morning.
Pretty good. It can fit a bed and a doghole.
Quite decent.
Who am I? A captain! This is a piece of cake.
Take the money.
Get your precious Oscar back.
Otherwise, this doghouse won't be any use when it's done.
Did you forget something?
That dog bite hasn't even healed yet and you want me to get him back?
Are you sure?
I really have made up my mind.
I can't be like the parent my mom was.
Since Oscar is important to you
he should be with you.
If that's not enough money, we'll figure something out.
Get Oscar back first.
There's no need for that.
With our current living standards
we can't provide Oscar with the life he used to have.
It'll be good for him to be with his new owner.
- You're leaving so early today? - Good morning.
There's an English exam today. I have to go to school early to prepare.
Oh, right. I called your brother last night. How come he didn't answer?
I don't know. He must have been busy.
Is he mad that I neglected him because I've been busy with Xiao Han's business?
Probably not.
It's not news that you're dedicated to your job.
He must be used to it already.
He really has complained to you, hasn't he?
You know I've been so busy that I haven't even visited my parents.
I'd be worried even in Australia if Xiao Han doesn't have a good home.
Of course I understand
but I also hope you can also consider what my brother wants.
Xiao Han is in good hands now.
If I were you, I'd apply to leave for Australia earlier.
You'll be leaving anyway. These two months won't matter.
Since it won't matter, why shouldn't I see the semester through?
You have such high demands of yourself as a lawyer.
You should be able to understand.
Do you know the breakup rate of long-distance relationships
is over 90 percent?
You and my brother are still together against all odds.
I just hope you two can tie the knot.
I know. I'll video chat with him tonight no matter how late it is.
I'm taking off.
Drive safely.
Who is it?
Hello. Is Wu Zheng at home?
Wu Zheng, property management is here!
Manager Wang, uh... This is about the money, right?
I don't have that much cash at the moment.
Can you give me another two days?
Wu Zheng, you signed off on the total.
You said you would deliver payment yesterday.
This puts me in a very difficult spot.
I know. I definitely approve of the total.
It's just that something suddenly came up.
I can't come up with that much money right now.
Why don't you go to the neighbors downstairs...
There's 10,000 yuan in here. Take that for now.
We'll figure out a way to come up with the rest by the end of the day.
All right. Wu Zheng, get the rest to me soon.
- Definitely. Thank you. - Okay, bye.
Have a good day.
I got 20,000 yuan total for selling Oscar.
I just gave him 10,000 yuan.
Subtracting what I paid for accommodations
there are a few thousand yuan left.
I'll contribute it all.
Take it back.
Keep it for your living expenses.
From now on, you can manage the money.
Don't worry about earning money.
Just focus on school. I'll figure it out.
I'm heading out.
Hello, Xiao Yuan. Help me look into someone.
Her name is Wang Shan.
She started studying abroad at University of Sydney not long ago.
Yes, the same school as my brother's.
Her mother is a Chinese teacher at Wharton International School.
Yes, I want all the information on Wang Shan. The sooner the better.
Okay, thank you. Dinner is on me next time.
Mr. Wu, you're finally here.
Notify me in advance the next time you come
so I can roll out the red carpet to welcome you.
Don't mock me.
Let me first apologize for last night.
Something really did come up.
The kid ran away from home.
Nobody could find him. I was afraid he was in danger.
I later heard news of him and immediately hauled him home.
Please understand. After all, he is my and Xiao Wei's child.
- Confirmed? - Yes.
You've never given up on me and actually care quite a bit.
When have I ever given up on you?
The company doesn't just pay attention to what's on your mind
but also your personal life.
All right.
For Xiao Wei's sake, I won't split hairs about this.
But, you missed yesterday's chance at an earlier reinstatement
so you'll have to wait until your probationary period and ban are lifted.
I know you've been trying to come up with other ways.
I'm also deeply aware of my own errors.
I promise I'll report in on time starting tomorrow
and I'll take on all the onerous tasks.
Are you being serious?
How come I find your words so hard to believe?
Will you come up with another excuse tomorrow?
You'll see me turn over a new leaf tomorrow.
Give me a chance.
All right.
There's a training course later.
You can be my assistant teacher and use yourself as an example
and tell the students about your personal experience violating the rules.
Understood. You'll be lecturing in all your glory.
I'll be off to the side as your target.
Be serious. What do you mean by target?
This is a case study.
Understood.
I've already emphasized the importance of
strict compliance with the aviation handbook.
We're fortunate to have
Captain Wu Zheng here today to speak from his own experiences
and tell us about the harm in not abiding by the rules.
Let's give him a warm welcome.
Hello, everybody. I am Wu Zheng.
Let me tell you about
an example of failing to abide by the aviation handbook.
I'm a captain who began flying 15 years before you all.
You all graduated from the flight academy
so you should know learning to fly a plane is a dull yet challenging task.
I won't talk to you about the regulations and restrictions.
I'll tell you a story.
This was several years ago, when I was just a bit older than you all
and had only been flying for a few years.
We had entered cruising altitude
so it was a rather quiet period with the passengers resting.
It was at this time that Number 3 from the service crew
brought coffee to me in the cockpit.
