[Episode 38]
Fine.
I promise I'll try not to fight with him.
We haven't been to Old Street Bistro in a while.
How are things between you and the old man?
He... He's sick. It seems very serious.
I visited him a few times but he doesn't want to see me.
For him to push me away even when he's so sick
means that he doesn't think of me as family.
Don't let this weigh on you.
This must be hard on you.
Xiao Han and I will be your family from now on.
That sounds like you want your relationship status to be upgraded.
It's late. You should go home to rest. I should go too.
Wait, wait! You forgot something.
You forgot to give me a goodbye kiss.
Goodnight!
Auntie Wen, you're so early today.
I have to buy groceries anyway.
I came to tell you Xiao Ou's father came by yesterday.
Fei Wen Li also happened to drop by.
Xiao Ou's father left in a bad mood.
Your relationship with Xiao Ou won't be affected, will it?
- I knew already. It's okay. - Good.
All right, you can go off to work.
By the way, I saw that the restaurant downstairs is closed.
There is a sign saying the place is for sale.
Could something have happened?
Li Li Qun has liver problems. He's been hospitalized.
How could that be?
You haven't told him who you are yet, have you?
I did. He turned me away.
He turned you away?
That shows he feels guilty.
People start feeling some regret as they get older.
If you want to pass away in peace, you should do more good and less bad.
You're right.
I have to go, Auntie Wen. I have two flights today. I'll be back late.
- Okay, take care. - Right, bye.
Hello, Xiao Ou?
I'm sorry, I couldn't do what you asked.
I'm outside the detention center. I didn't get to see Lu Da Zhi.
I really can't help. Why don't you speak with Xiao Han?
You didn't even get to see him?
That's right. I don't know what he's thinking.
I'm told he doesn't want to see anyone
he isn't going to defend himself, and he doesn't want a lawyer.
Okay, we'll talk at home.
Wait! What was he arrested for?
Financial crimes.
All right, we'll talk at home.
Hello?
Captain Wu, we have to include an emergency passenger on your flight.
What's going on?
There is a donor liver being procured from Yinchuan.
The organ must be transported to Shanghai's Ruijin Hospital right away
so the transplant surgery can be performed as soon as possible.
We can coordinate with you. When will the procurement be finished?
The hospital said one hour and then it will be sent here.
Even with a police escort, it'll still take at least 90 minutes.
Then we'll have to delay our departure time.
Broadcast an announcement to alert the passengers.
Attention, passengers of flight SK1921 to Shanghai.
Due to special circumstances, the flight will be delayed.
An updated boarding time will be announced at a later time.
Thank you for your understanding.
Delayed again?
Why would it be delayed?
Exactly! The plane is already here!
What's going on now? They're so disrespectful of our time.
Exactly.
Xiao Han! Wait up!
- I have to speak with you. - You go on first.
What is it?
Did you have a fight with my dad again?
Can you two please just get along?
Your relationship is very important for me.
Whatever happens, I will also be affected.
In the end, I'll be the one who suffers the most.
Okay, I understand, but that's not what I need to talk about.
I need to tell you Ye Zi went to see Lu Da Zhi at the detention center
but he wouldn't see her and even said he doesn't need a defense attorney.
Even if he doesn't need an attorney, he'll still need money. Right?
Can you ask Ye Zi to find a way to give this money to him? There is 1,600 yuan.
- He won't need it in there. - Just take it.
Tell him to grease some palms so he won't get beaten up.
Why would he be beaten up? Where did you hear that?
Isn't that in American dramas?
The male lead goes to prison and gets roughed up.
I show you guys American dramas
so you can learn English, not see the dark side of the world.
Besides, where is that money from?
Don't worry, the money was earned by legal means.
It wasn't from doing other people's homework.
At 20 yuan per assignment, I'd have to do 800 assignments to make 1,600 yuan.
Wu Zheng sure gives you a generous allowance, then.
It's not from Wu Zheng.
We've been having some family issues. Gramps is sick.
He has a multitude of things to worry about. He's just really busy.
If he's short with you, just excuse him. Will you?
Don't worry about us. We're doing fine.
Are you really not planning on telling him about Lu Da Zhi?
Forget it. He has enough to worry about. I'm not going to add to his troubles.
You two are so close. You're not going to tell him, are you?
I respect your decision.
You can tell him when you find the right time.
Okay. Well, I get it now.
I don't come up in conversation on your dates anyway.
One more thing. I just did an actual calculation.
It wouldn't be 800 assignments, but 80 assignments.
I have to go. Bye!
What is he talking about?
Please have a seat here. There is more room for your carrier.
SK1921, ready for departure.
SK1921, cleared for takeoff.
Runway 19 left, winds 290 degrees at 6 knots
contact departure 118.60 in the air, good day.
Clear for takeoff, runway 19 left, contact departure in the air.
Good day. SK1921.
Clear to go.
- Climb. - Gear up.
Why was departure delayed? What if the organ's viability is affected?
Stay calm. The plane will arrive on time.
Hello, Mom?
I know! The plane is landing soon!
Don't worry!
Control Tower, we have a transplant organ onboard.
Requesting priority landing so the surgery won't be delayed.
Roger, you have priority to land.
- Can you make a call? - Over there! They're coming!
- Is that them? - That's them!
Is this the donor organ? Is it inside?
Straight ahead! Hurry!
That way!
We left 45 minutes later than our scheduled departure
but landed 10 minutes earlier than scheduled.
We flew in a straight line and we had priority landing. The credit isn't mine.
We were nervous the whole way. That must have counted for something.
Jin, help me hold my luggage for a bit.
Wu, are you all right?
I'm fine. My back hurts a bit.
- Are you really okay? - I'm okay.
Captain Wu, the patient's family member wanted to thank you in person.
- This is our captain. - Mr. Luo.
Captain, I don't even know what to say. Thank you.
- You are the patient's family? - Yes, I am.
- Hurry to the hospital. Who is... - My wife.
All right. Go on to the hospital. You don't need to say anything.
I wish your wife a speedy recovery.
I can't thank you enough, Captain Wu.
That's enough. Go to the hospital.
I'll save the apologies. I'm going to go now.
Okay.
- Let me get that. - I got it.
- Is your back all right? - I'm fine.
You have a slipped vertebrae.
How could you endure the pain for so long?
I can tolerate it when I'm working. When I'm relaxing, I can feel the pain.
Do you feel discomfort anywhere else?
My left leg feels a bit unresponsive.
Doctor, is it serious?
It seems rather serious at the moment.
Here's what. Get an MRI first.
Mom?
How come you're here? On your way shopping?
I can't give you a ride today. I'm busy.
Okay, go do your thing.
Everything else is always more important to you than your mom's birthday.
That's ridiculous. You don't know your daughter well enough.
I was going to buy a gift to surprise you.
I didn't expect you to suddenly show up here.
Save the act.
How's this? You can pick out any perfume you want at the mall.
You can save your money.
I just want you to have dinner with me today.
No problem. Please get in, Your Majesty.
That's more like it.
Judging from these scans, your condition is already fairly serious.
You need surgery immediately.
Can we try conservative treatment instead?
I'm really busy right now. I don't have time.
I can confidently tell you that is a no.
You experienced an episode today.
If you continue to ignore this and you have recurrent episodes
your career will be ruined.
You are also a pilot.
If an accident occurs, hundreds of passengers will be at risk.
Don't make any excuses.
Put aside your work and get surgery as soon as possible.
Doctor, how long will it take to recover after the surgery?
That varies from person to person.
For example, a couple months is enough for normal people.
However, you're a special case. You're a pilot.
Pilots aren't the same as normal people.
We have higher demands of this surgery for pilots.
That's why I cannot make you any guarantees.
What is the surgery success rate?
As I just told you
the success rate for normal people
is above 90 percent, practically 100 percent.
However, you're a pilot.
Say you do this surgery.
Even if it's a guaranteed success
postoperative complications and recovery and are still factors.
We cannot guarantee whether you can still be a pilot.
That is what I'm trying to say.
But if you don't get surgery
I'm afraid you'll have difficulty just walking on your own.
Let me bring up another issue.
This isn't a major surgery
but it will require general anesthesia.
To be frank, even though anesthesia is very advanced now
your mental function and memory will more or less be affected after surgery.
This is called POCD, post operative cognitive dysfunction.
You are a pilot.
You will need to be capable of quick responses.
We cannot ignore the possibility of POCD.
That is why I cannot make you any guarantees.
Why am I saying all this? Why am I telling you to have surgery?
That's because if you don't have surgery
your life will be affected
and I'm not just talking about your life as a pilot.
Don't panic though.
This isn't a major surgery.
We just have higher demands of precision in this surgery.
Surgical experts in this area of expertise
are extremely rare in the country.
We only have Dr. Han in Beijing
and Professor Meng of Orthopedics at Shanghai People's Hospital.
I'm going to send your medical records to Professor Meng right away
to get surgery started as soon as possible.
As for whether you'll be able to be a pilot
we'll have to wait to see your post-surgery condition to know.
All right?
Who is it? The door isn't locked. Come in.
Brother?
- Can I come in? - Come in.
Hello, Brother.
Um...
Your house is nice. It's big.
- The decorations are also nice. I-- - What do you want?
So it's like this.
Dad has been quite ill lately.
I've been busy at the hospital so I haven't had time to contact you.
I swear I didn't know I had a brother.
If I knew, I would've searched for you.
I would've contacted you long ago.
If you need something, just say it.
Dad is...
sick to the point that he needs an organ transplant.
The surgery will be costly.
You know about our family's financial condition.
Don't get the wrong idea. I'm not here to borrow money.
Money isn't a problem. I've already talked to Mom.
We'll sell our restaurant. That's not a problem.
The most pressing problem is... there's no donor organ.
Mom and I have both been tested. We don't have compatible blood types.
So...
I had to come see you.
Dad is a good and honest man.
Not one of his old colleagues and neighbors have said he's a bad man.
If Granny Wang next door needs anything, he goes to her with just a call.
Faulty gas or changing lightbulbs, my dad takes care of everything.
How could he be a bad man?
My dad also fed and took care of the stray dogs and cats by our store.
Dad did all that. He's a good person.
He's also good to me.
When I was young, if I wanted to go play somewhere
he would take me there no matter how tired he was.
When I didn't want to walk anymore, he would carry me on his back.
I haven't done anything for my family all these years.
I'm so worried now.
Actually, I think you should think back carefully.
Dad was quite good to you too. Do you know why?
Don't you think you inherited his genes?
He gave his intelligence to you.
Compare the two of us. I don't have any brains.
Look at how smart you are.
You're educated and cultured. You even have a nice job.
You're a pilot while I'm unemployed.
- It's clear that-- - That's enough.
Of course he is a good dad in your eyes.
He abandoned me very early on.
He didn't fulfill his duty as a father for even one day.
Please tell him there's not a chance he'll get an organ from me.
Brother, please reconsider.
Aunt, were you at our house?
Yes.
How is Gramps doing?
I see the for sale sign at the restaurant.
Are you selling the place?
Why are you asking so much, kid?
Your dad says it's none of his business. What's the use in telling you?
He's just a paper tiger. His bark is worse than his bite.
From my understanding of him
he says it's none of his business but that might not be what he's thinking.
I'm leaving.
I've thought about it all day.
Why don't I donate my liver to Gramps?
Stay out of it.
What do you mean?
If he doesn't get an organ transplant, we'll be saying goodbye to him.
Will you have peace of mind if he passes away like this?
Peace of mind? I was just a child.
Did he consider my survival when he left me behind?
We can't help each other.
Didn't you tell me to check out the Anti-Parents forum online?
I took a look. Li Li Qun is a classic example of a terrible parent.
Stay out of this and don't ask questions.
Is this what you truly want?
- Yes. - Who are you kidding?
Can you come up with better lies?
Who's looking up liver transplantations?
Enough about this. Don't go to the hospital either.
Help me up.
- What's wrong? - Nothing.
Do you need me to take you to the doctor?
If you have a chance, I think you should go have a look.
I definitely will.
Ye Xin, I think we should discuss students studying abroad in Australia.
- Mom. - What are you doing?
It's my birthday. Don't lose your temper on me.
I can celebrate your birthday with you
but if you want to help patch things up, I won't cooperate.
I'm not. I had forgotten about my own birthday.
It was Ye Xin who remembered. That's why we have such a nice table.
Let's just do this for your dad today. It's just a dinner.
Okay, come.
Xiao Ou, sit.
Xiao Ou, take a seat.
- Thank you. - Auntie and Uncle, please order.
Okay.
You've been acting weird the past two days. Let's talk.
If it's about the liver transplant, forget about it.
I won't bring that up.
I just want to share my thought process over the days I've been here.
As you know, I was quite a spoiled kid.
Do you know how determined I had to be in order to humble myself to come to you?
You had no other choice. You were practically starving.
Do you want to hear what I have to say or not?
Go on.
I was quite hesitant at the time.
The first time I met you, I thought you were cold and indifferent.
You looked dependable but at the same time felt undependable.
I didn't know if blood ties were strong enough to make you take me in.
Even if you took me in, you might not treat me well.
But then, I thought to myself
you're the only family I have left in this world.
Who else would I go to?
You really didn't seem that desperate in the beginning.
In the end, you're the one not treating me well.
You've nearly torn my place apart.
- Quit it, will you? - Carry on.
I really don't have regrets though. That's the truth.
I don't regret Uncle Shi Fei taking me to Wangjiatun Village to find you.
I'm also very grateful you dragged me out of that inn to live with you here.
I'm very grateful. I now know coming here was the right decision.
We might not have started off on the right foot
but we stumbled our way here and we're now quite happy.
I'm saying all this to tell you
you can't just give up after Gramps turns you down once.
If you save his life now
you might have another 10 years to enjoy the feelings you never experienced before
and make up for your life's regrets.
You could enjoy 10 years of having a father. Isn't that great?
There are some things and periods of time...
that cannot be repeated after it's past.
After all is said and done, you just want me to save him.
Don't bring this up again.
It's late. Go to sleep.
I know you won't listen to whatever I say now.
But I'm serious about all this. Just think on it.
Uncle, let's make a toast to Auntie. It's her birthday today.
Happy birthday, Auntie. Wishing you beauty and good health.
- Good. - Thank you.
Happy birthday.
- Mom, happy birthday. - Thank you.
I thought we had come to an understanding.
Why did you go to my parents?
Xiao Ou, it's not what you think.
Uncle and Auntie have always been good to me and I respect them.
I hope Auntie can have a wonderful birthday
and I want to show her my respect.
Of course, I'm also very sorry
I won't have a chance to become family anymore.
If that's what you truly think, you can leave your regrets in your heart.
You will cause them to misunderstand.
They'll have foolish hopes.
We can't even be friends anymore.
Don't waste your efforts.
All right.
I understand.
I will be returning to Australia next week.
By the way, I hope you won't take offense at what I said at school the other day.
I was being rash.
I returned and did all this because I just want you to be well.
Regardless of whether you'll forgive me
I have to apologize for the hurt I've caused you.
Sorry.
I accept your apology.
As for forgiveness, leave it up to time.
Besides, I wasn't completely free from fault.
I care too much about my students.
I was too careless with our relationship.
I didn't protect it.
That's how someone else had an opportunity.
No, it was...
It was my fault. I...
I wasn't committed enough.
I always thought our relationship could withstand the distance.
But as time went on...
I began to lose confidence.
I sometimes wondered if I was still in a relationship with you.
It's a terrible feeling
to only be able to see and hear you but not touch you.
When it was cold, I could only wear more clothes.
When I was sick...
I had to take care of myself.
When I was sad, you couldn't even give me a hug.
I think you must have felt the same.
We only saw each other a few times a year.
I wanted to show you my best self.
I don't know why we still ended up like this after all the work we put in.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry I let you down.
Xiao Ou, I... I wonder if you...
can give me another chance?
I’m only telling you this today to bring closure to our past.
Where's Ye Xin?
He went to the restroom.
Xiao Ou, stay the night at home today.
I clean your room every day. It's always ready for you.
You should come back home when it's appropriate.
We haven't read poems together in a long while.
We used to do that every weekend.
Yes, that's right. You can stay to converse with your dad.
No, I'm used to my bed now. I don't sleep well anywhere else.
Are you going to neglect me now for that man?
Dad, do you know what Wu Zheng said to me?
He told me to never fight with my father for any man
because nobody will love me as deep or as long as my father will.
He told me to never fight with you.
But this is what you say about him.
That shows his tactics are advanced.
Look, older men sure have their ways.
They make concessions in order to gain advantages.
That's more than enough to deceive a silly child like you.
I promised him I wouldn't fight with you.
But I have some things to say.
What is it?
Do you remember when I first became a teacher
you taught me Gibran's poem, "On Children"?
I believe you must have read it from a parent's perspective.
I'm very thankful to you
for lighting the way when I was at a crossroads in life.
But you have lit the path far enough already.
You influenced my career and educational paths
but I need to walk the rest of my path alone.
Even if there are obstacles and I turn bruised and battered from falling
I still have to experience it all.
It's been a while since you landed.
How come you haven't checked in yet?
I've already landed.
Goodnight.
Are you tired?
Get some rest soon. Sweet dreams.
What are you doing?
Look, this is already out.
- Did you go out last night? - Quiet down.
- Where did you go? - Quiet. You'll wake Dad.
This is dangerous, you know?
Look at this. What were you doing?
You should've told me. I would've come instead.
- Hello there. - Come here.
It's finished.
Thank you.
If that is finished, the blood will be sucked out.
I have something to talk to you about.
I have to talk to you.
Do you want to eat?
Mom.
Actually...
I went to see my brother last night.
Wasted efforts. Why did you go see him?
What are you saying?
Dad's condition is turning more serious by the day.
Who else would I go to?
Who else could I go to but him? I don't want to eat.
So... what did he say?
The old ones are the feisty ones. You were right.
Dad refused to acknowledge him.
How could he possibly be willing to help us now?
It was your dad's decision anyway.
Think of some other way.
Has the real estate agent contacted you?
There were people who viewed the place but nobody was serious about buying.
They either tried to lower the price
or they were nitpicking
saying the fengshui isn't good or the decorations were old.
Mom, I'm thinking I'll take out a loan if it comes to that.
We'll put up our house as collateral.
Even if you come up with the money
it'll be for nothing if there's no donor organ.
Right?
Family of the patient in Bed 2, come quickly. He's awake.
- He's awake. - Let's go.
Don't mention this. Look happy.
Coming!
Dad.
Why did you bring me here again?
I'm not staying at the hospital.
Just rest. Don't worry so much. Take care of your health.
Exactly, Dad. Treating your sickness is our top priority right now.
That's right.
If you two are here
then who's watching our restaurant?
Who's watching it? Do you know what time it is?
Nobody would come to your restaurant so early in the morning.
Exactly. Dad, don't worry.
I can deal with any customers that come in.
I've pretty much mastered your signature dishes.
Nobody can tell the difference. Right, Mom?
That's right.
Take care of your health so you can teach me more.
Hello. Is Li Li Qun here?
Yes, he's inside at Bed 2.
Thank you.
How come you're here?
Didn't he say we have nothing to do with each other from now on?
I just came to see if there's anything I can do to help.
I already told you yesterday how you can help.
You should leave.
I didn't do much of anything for you or your mother.
Life and death are ruled by fate.
I don't need you to donate your liver to save me.
It's best if we don't owe each other anything.
Okay, since you don't need anything...
I'll be leaving now.
You...
You need time off again?
Is it your kid again?
No, I need... more time this time.
Just take a look at this.
Slipped vertebrae?
Wait, didn't you recover already?
I thought so too.
I thought a couple visits for therapy would be enough.
This is the latest diagnosis.
The doctor says I might not be able to fly in the future
if I don't get surgery.
Captain Zheng, I'm really sorry. Life just keeps throwing me curveballs.
I finally get back to steady work for two months and then this happens.
Okay, that's enough.
Get this treated and recover first.
Everything depends on your health.
You've been quite busy.
I'll approve your leave request.
Thank you, thank you. I don't know what to say.
That's not necessary between us.
Focus on the surgery. Don't worry about anything else.
Even in the worst situation, even if you can't fly...
you can come back to be a flight simulator instructor
and further your flight dreams and skills in another way.
Report.
Here are all the homeworks.
This is good enough.
This is a letter I wrote to Lu Da Zhi.
Can you ask Ye Zi to make another trip and make sure he gets it?
All right, I'll let her know.
Hold on.
Was the money you're giving to Lu Da Zhi earned by secretly doing part-time jobs?
Stop doing it. It's dangerous to be going home so late.
Don't make me tell your dad.
You can't do that!
Where's the trust?
You can't forget our friendship just because you're dating now.
Can't we simplify our relationship?
How? Break up with your dad?
I can't bear to do that.
The stench of love.
You're the stinky one.
Anyway, here's what.
You can't see me as your boyfriend's son. Got it?
I'm separate from Wu.
Moreover, I was once again the top of our class in yesterday's English exam.
Based on that alone, you can't tattle on me.
You want me to show some respect?
Nope. How about I show you my whip?
[Old Boy]
