[Old Boy]
[Episode 45]
Sorry, you might not be going to either of those two schools.
How...
Because there's news from USC.
They have psychology courses and you can audit.
That's great. I'll book a flight right away.
Okay.
Lin Xiao Ou.
Did something happen?
No.
I've tied up all loose ends.
I can begin a new life now.
Hello?
Sorry, I was busy all day.
I didn't have time to see your message. Did you need to say something?
It's nothing.
I was just going to let you know.
I've heard back from USC, the school I most wanted to go to.
I'm going to fly to LA next week.
The old man passed away today.
I've been busy with that.
He'll be buried tomorrow.
Sorry.
I can only say we're not meant to be.
My deepest sympathies.
I'm leaving this set of English novels with you.
Didn't it take you a long time to find these? Why don't you want them?
I already have the e-book version. I don't want to bring too many things.
Do you think you won't keep thinking about certain things
because you've left them here?
Let's have a chat.
You're going to USC soon.
How come you don't look happy at all?
Judging by your expression, are you dissatisfied with this outcome?
So what if I am?
I gave Wu Zheng a chance
and I waited for him until the cafe closed.
What happened? You went to see Wu Zheng again?
I learned today that students didn't mean to hurt me with their prank.
So I was thinking I was too quick to blame them.
That's why...
I thought I should give Wu Zheng another chance
so I told him to meet me at Yue's cafe.
If he asked me not to leave, I would definitely stay.
But I waited until night and he still hadn't come.
He just called to say the old man passed away.
He has a valid excuse. You can forgive him.
Once the old man's affairs are settled, you two can sit down and talk.
Forget it.
Ever since we met, there have been all sorts of obstacles in our way.
Perhaps we're really not meant to be.
I thought it through on the way back.
Perhaps it is Heaven's will.
That's why so many things keep preventing us from being together.
You received an advanced education overseas.
How could you believe this sort of thing?
Sometimes, you have no choice but to believe it.
When a relationship has run its course, it is over.
Old man, make some drinking buddies over there.
Relax and enjoy yourself.
Don't tire yourself out.
Li will like this place.
Thank you, Wu Zheng.
Wu Zheng, thank you.
In the past, I was narrow-minded about many things.
I'm sorry, Wu Zheng.
Wu Zheng, if you were Li's real son...
that would have been wonderful.
- I packed up your toiletries. - Thank you.
Wait up.
Why are you bringing so many masks?
We can buy them in our layover in Hong Kong.
No! What if we forget when we change planes?
I only have one honeymoon in my life. I have to look beautiful.
I'll feel better bringing Yunifang masks.
Plus, I have to make sure every photo we take on our honeymoon is pretty.
You're pretty enough already.
When you become an old lady, I won't find you ugly. You'll still be gorgeous.
What a sweet talker. I like it.
All right, I leave my future happiness in your hands.
No problem!
Give me a kiss.
Here we go.
Okay, let's do one last check.
Got chargers?
Passport? Got it?
- Definitely. - Definitely?
How can you leave the country if you don't bring your passport?
Why are you being so mean?
- Are you going to dump me while away? - Take a good look!
Whose is it? Read it out loud.
How could Lin Xiao Ou leave her things lying around?
Xiao Ou, don't forget your passport!
- Xiao Ou! - I know!
- Are you guys ready? - Yep!
- I'll give you a ride. - Okay. Let's go.
Let's hit the road!
This is the first time you two are going on a trip together.
Be nice to each other. Don't fight.
Okay.
You, in particular. Give in to Shi Fei. Don't be so assertive.
Why are you being a traitor? All the while, I'm worried about you.
Set an alarm to catch your flight tomorrow morning. Don't forget.
That won't be a problem. Ye Xin will give me a morning call.
I won't miss it with him around.
Good. Let's get going, then.
Uh... I...
I forgot my car key upstairs. I'll go grab it.
- I'll get it. - No, no. You two can say goodbye.
I know the passcode.
Scatterbrain!
How come he knows the passcode?
He... I don't know.
Why did you turn? Isn't the airport straight ahead?
Something came to mind. I need to drop by Wu's place.
You can't talk to him on the phone?
It's quite important. I need to tell him in person.
Don't worry. There's plenty of time.
Okay, hurry it up.
Aren't you going on your honeymoon? Why are you back?
Ye Zi changed her mind!
Don't jinx it!
I need some water.
Listen up. Lin Xiao Ou is flying tomorrow.
Tomorrow? So soon?
Worried now? I'm here to give you a hand.
Go enjoy your honeymoon.
I'm doing great.
I get to enjoy exercising and drinking tea every day.
As it goes, "Unlucky in love, lucky at work."
I can be a flight simulator instructor while on the ground.
Maybe after the steel rods are taken out in four months
I'll pass my physical and be able to fly again.
If you don't make a move, Lin Xiao Ou really is going to leave!
Anyway...
I hurt her too deeply.
I'm happy for her because she's going to study what she wants.
Besides, I have no right to keep her here.
Why can't you just admit it?
That's fine. I planned it out for you.
I'll help you one last time before I leave.
Lin Xiao Ou's passport. I nabbed it.
You can decide whether she leaves or stays.
All right, Ye Zi is waiting for me.
Don't be too touched. You can cry after I leave.
One last thing.
Lin Xiao Ou has a morning flight tomorrow.
She's going to the U.S. with my brother-in-law.
If she leaves, you're never getting her back.
She's never coming back.
I finished watching the video you made for me.
Thank you.
Starting tomorrow, you'll be having a new English teacher.
Continue working hard.
Learning a new language will be useful to you in the future.
What's with the gloomy mood?
Maybe we'll see each other again in the future.
If anybody goes to study abroad in Los Angeles, remember to contact me.
Ms. Lin, we're really sorry.
We shouldn't have taken the prank so far. Sorry.
It's okay.
I was at a low point during that time and wasn't able to process this properly.
However, I can tell from that clip that you're all very creative
and your English proficiency has improved a lot.
That is great. I can leave without worries.
Ms. Lin, we all really regret it.
We just wanted to use the clip to lighten up the mood in class.
We didn't know there would be so many visiting teachers.
Can you not leave?
I already handed in my resignation and bought my plane ticket.
All good things must come to an end.
Wish me well.
Okay, let's get started.
Is it real or is it digital?
Ms. Lin is leaving tomorrow.
It's up to you now.
Let's go.
It's about time.
Pudong Airport.
It's still early. I'll buy you a drink.
Oh, right. Take your passport out. I'll help you check-in later.
Okay.
Are you looking for this?
How come you have my passport?
Don't worry about how I have it.
I've decided to respect all your decisions.
What is my decision?
I thought about it all night.
It's clear to me now.
- I-- - What a coincidence.
This reminds me of the first time the three of us met in Australia.
Life sure is interesting.
Mr. Wu, no matter what...
I have to thank you.
It's clear to you now.
And?
I wish you a safe journey.
And success in school.
Have your passports out.
We're boarding already. Yes.
Clothes? Xiao Ou looks fine. I'm not wearing much though.
Can you have a jacket ready for me?
Everybody take out your passports.
Okay, okay.
- Talk to you then. - Sorry, here you go.
Okay, I'll message you.
No problem. Okay.
[When young, we don't know what love is.]
[When we know love, we're no longer young.]
What are you laughing at? Happy?
Yes, happy.
What are you looking at?
The figures of foreigners are...
Go play with them.
Would you like that?
Let them bury you in sand.
No, I meant male foreigners have bodies like that but small brains.
Stop fibbing. Don't assume I can't see your eyes behind those sunglasses.
- Take them off. - No, I...
I've been sunbathing with my eyes closed.
Ms. Lin?
Aren't... you...
Have a seat.
I'll get water for you.
I'll call him.
Okay.
The number you dialed is busy. Please try again later.
The call isn't going through. I'll message him.
Okay.
Hello? Hurry home. Ms. Lin is here!
Hurry it up! Give me a reply when you see this. Reply back.
It's urgent.
This girl traveled across the ocean
in an attempt to save a love that had already faded away.
I admired her courage but it had me pondering.
Good love is worth spending a lifetime pursuing.
Even if it tears us to pieces, we would not hesitate to take the risk.
But when it comes to love that slowly eats away at our life force
why should we stubbornly persist?
If it were me, I would be giving thanks
for receiving a warning before I make a mistake
giving thanks for growing through the pain
and through the process of growth, looking forward to true love.
During our time together
even though I showed her limited tolerance
she still made concessions and compromises for me time and again.
It was only in this moment that I suddenly realized
this isn't how a 40-year-old man and a woman under 30 should be dating.
We're more like an older woman and younger man.
This old boy that hasn't grown up is blushing with shame.
I should express my deep remorse to her.
How I wish I could go back in time and redo everything.
I wouldn't let things end up the way they are now.
At present, I've secretly taken her passport
and I keep asking myself this question.
Should I tie her to me
or take the high road for once and let her make the choice?
What should I do?
It's a sleepless night as this question tortures me.
Wu is calling you.
I'm not answering.
He's definitely going to waste my time blathering about him and Lin Xiao Ou.
Yes. Xiao Ou has already left. The ship has already sailed.
Exactly!
The chance was placed right in front of him.
I couldn't even persuade him to take it. It's certainly too late now.
What chance?
You deliberately made a detour to Wu's place on our way to the airport.
What were you up to? Spill it.
Nothing, nothing.
He's calling again. It might be an emergency. Answer it.
What is it?
Shi Fei, my dear brother Fei, um...
My future happiness is in your hands.
Cut to the chase. What do you want?
Listen.
I chased Lin Xiao Ou.
I chased her all the way to...
You won't believe me. I chased her to Los Angeles.
But she didn't even come!
I left in such a hurry. I don't have a cent on me.
Send me 20,000 yuan quickly. It's an emergency.
You... You chased her all the way to Los Angeles?
Way to go!
No, uh... We haven't even settled our previous debt.
You're borrowing money again? I...
This is for my love and happiness.
When I return, I'll pay you back as soon as I get my wages.
The problem is that I'm no longer single.
I don't call the shots anymore. My wife does.
You know what? I'll ask her.
Uh...
Honey, Wu wants to borrow money.
Why?
He chased Lin Xiao Ou all the way to Los Angeles. He has no money on him.
You talk to him.
Hello, Wu? Have no money? Can't come back?
We're not lending money. Find Xiao Ou. Bye!
- You hung up? - Yes.
That's it? We're not helping?
That's right.
Are you a fool?
Whoever started this should end it. Would he need us?
Did you and Shi Fei get into a fight? Why are you calling me on your honeymoon?
Did my brother cry?
You're the Countess of Monte Cristo, changing your mind so suddenly.
You're quite vindictive.
Ye Xin complained to you so quickly?
You and my brother have each stabbed each other in the heart.
I guess you can call that even.
Even if he went to Los Angeles with me, I wouldn't get back together with him.
He knew that.
Yes, yes. He didn't complain to me.
But, someone went after you to Los Angeles but found nothing there.
Do you know Wu is roaming about Los Angeles Airport right now?
- Really? - Yes.
The poor man can't even afford a return ticket.
He called Shi Fei to borrow money but I wouldn't approve.
You can do as you like.
He rushed to the airport to deliver my passport to me
like he was afraid I wouldn't leave.
He even stubbornly said he was going to respect my decisions.
Well, I also respect his decisions.
He can roam there if he wants.
All right. Since you put it like that, we're going to stay out of it.
Don't let your heart melt later.
It's his fault for being so ambiguous. He deserves to be punished.
[Wu Zheng]
I have to hang up now.
I'm going to hang out with them.
One.
Do you think Xiao Ou will be able to ignore Wu Zheng?
They can do what they want. I don't care.
[One year later]
You can't say that. This is--
- Captain Zheng. - Looks like a good chat.
How is it going, Captain Wu?
Were you comfortable with the partnered flight training?
It was all right.
Captain Zheng, assigning Captain Wu to fly with me
put me under a great deal of pressure.
I really couldn't tell he hasn't flew in over year.
Why? Did this skilled expert put you on the spot?
No, but I really did learn something this time.
You're too kind, Captain Zhu.
Captain Wu is widely known for his judgment and precision.
In this flight together, I discovered he's also very precise
with the monitoring of the aircraft's condition.
The entire flight was perfect.
I can manage in theory
but my skills have turned rusty after not flying in over a year
so I'll need more runs in the simulator before I can attain true precision.
This sounds so overly ingratiating.
Excessive modesty will seem contrived.
In terms of skill and ability, nobody can dare say they can best you.
I'm not afraid of stroking your ego.
I'm training rookies with the lecture materials you wrote.
The feedback has been good.
Captain, you two carry on. I have to go.
- See you later. - All right, Captain Zhu.
In your reports and lectures
I have no problem with you using me as an example.
You can call me any time.
Wouldn't it be a waste of your talents to use you as an example?
The company has a new assignment for you.
China's C919 airliner will be delivered soon.
Our company is the first on the order list.
Do you want to be
the first commercial airline captain to fly a Chinese jetliner?
Are you serious?
You're putting me on another plane model?
Don't want to?
You already passed reinstatement tests and done enough adaptive training.
It wouldn't be appropriate to keep you from unsupervised flight.
Do some flying first.
In the later half of the year
we'll assemble a few young elite captains and co-pilots
to form a C919 team with you at the lead
and you'll take this team through
the first phase of training for the model transition.
Captain Zheng, our company is full of talent.
I haven't flown in nearly a year and a half.
Why was I chosen?
Aren't you asking the obvious?
You just want to hear me praise you, don't you? Fine.
Because you have rather unique qualifications
and in terms of overall ability, nobody is a better candidate than you.
So? Give it to me straight. Do you have confidence?
Flying the C919 is my ultimate dream.
Thank you for your faith in me.
Have you decided where you'll travel to during summer break?
Yep. Nowhere!
I've decided to stay home and study. Do you know why?
Next year is our last year of school.
You're a top student. You get to have fun.
Look! I'm still studying the English text after our exam.
Morning!
No way, Ms. Lin.
Can't you just let us have a fun summer break?
Do you have to give us so many assignments over vacation?
- Exactly! - That'll be no fun!
It's because I want you to have a fun summer break
so I came up with many different ways for you to have fun.
Stop kidding, Ms. Lin. Look at that stack of papers you brought.
Students, we've known each other for over a year now.
We have a better understanding of each other now.
These are comprehensive analyses I made for each of you
based on your individual characteristics and English proficiency.
On top of that
I will make a custom study plan for the coming year for each of you.
In addition, because I've taken some psychology courses
my analyses of you monkeys may just be a bit scathing.
Brace yourselves first.
Before the next semester starts, I will have an interview with each of you
and make final revisions based on your suggestions.
Okay?
No, forget it, Miss. Just give us a break. Seriously.
This plan concerns your study plan over the next year.
Ready it carefully.
Okay, come up when I call your name.
Xiang Yi Xian.
Wang Ming Xuan.
- Are you tired? - I'm hanging in there.
- Poor honey. - It's fine if you're comfortable.
I really don't understand you two.
Why did you drag me on into your one-year wedding anniversary trip?
I could've stayed at home with Wu Zheng instead of being a third wheel.
Wu Zheng doesn't need your company.
Hasn't he been busy with his reinstatement training?
His nose is to the grindstone.
Isn't it nice to come out and have fun with us?
Right. Besides, I can't do without you.
On top of that, you have a very glorious and formidable mission.
That would be... taking pictures for us.
It's love over friends for you.
Nobody can meet your high standards.
Xiao Ou, you're wrong about that.
It was Shi Fei who stole your passport from right under my nose
and hurt my brother's feelings to help you and Wu get together.
How is this love over friends?
It's friends over family.
Right, right.
I forgot I can debate with anyone but you on this topic.
Best you know it.
Xiao Ou, do you know when Wu Zheng can resume unsupervised flight?
Soon, probably.
After we return from this Hawaii trip
he will probably be able to lead a flight crew on his own.
Wu Zheng is quite amazing.
He hasn't been flying for so long
and everybody urged him to become a flight simulator instructor.
Instead, he came up with a full recovery plan on his own.
Over this past half year
he's been on ground helping coordinate those in the air.
He's really gone through a whole mental process.
Other than not being able to fly for the time being
I think he's made big improvements.
He's become more mature and stable. Right?
Yes.
Yes, I really admire him.
He accomplished such a difficult task.
Sometimes, I really think
he's become a mature man and is no longer an old boy.
It looks like our old boys alliance will be disbanding.
You're a married man. Don't talk to me about some alliance.
Can't married men make alliances?
Pointless.
How so? It was fine in the past.
Married men need to be responsible.
Forget about those pointless things.
Okay, okay. Stop playing. Let's watch a movie.
Movie? Sure.
No need to watch.
There's no movie that can compare to the show you two are putting on.
That's right!
Come, kiss.
Did you two drag me with you to rub your PDA in my face?
No.
- Honey, cover up. Don't get cold. - Cover up!
Yes, thank you.
Thank you.
So warm! So happy!
Settle in.
How was it? Is Lu Da Zhi reforming and making progress?
He's doing all right. He's learning the craft of lacquering.
He's thinking of finding
an auto repair job when he gets out in two years.
That sounds like good progress.
Why don't we go now?
Customers will be coming soon.
There's no hurry. You have me.
You? You break three bowls a day.
Your wages wouldn't even cover my losses.
How could you say that?
Don't you think a lot of pretty girls have been coming in lately?
They're all my fans. They came after hearing my songs online.
Granny Wang said I'm the restaurant's money tree.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking.
Our flight is descending now.
We will arrive in Honolulu International Airport
in about 40 minutes.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking.
Our flight is descending now.
- We will arrive in Honolulu... - Xiao Ou, Xiao Ou.
- Who? What? - Hold on.
You have to listen to this. It's serious.
- Is she up? - It's serious?
It's serious, pretty serious.
Ladies and gentlemen, we have safely arrived at Honolulu Airport.
Allow me to introduce myself.
I am the captain of this flight. My name is Wu Zheng.
Before you deplane, I'd like to take up two minutes of your time.
I'm sure you won't be bored.
On this flight with us
is a beautiful lady named Lin Xiao Ou.
I have a few words to say to her.
Hello, Xiao Ou.
I know you're on the plane.
I know you're listening.
Thank you.
Thank you for giving me the courage and confidence to pilot this flight.
I want to apologize to you.
It took a year for me to have the courage again to confess to you.
I'm not a romantic person.
In the past 40 years of my life
I've let many things slip by
but that has also made me realize...
what I want the most and who I want to protect the most.
It's been less than two years since we've met.
In these two years
we've watched each other grow and seen each other at our worst.
Xiao Ou, I love everything about you.
I love your tenacity, perseverance, all your hard work
and your willful temper.
I wonder if we can take our love to the next step.
Lin Xiao Ou, will you marry me?
Lin Xiao Ou, think about it and then please give me a reply.
Do you even have to think about it?
Stop it!
Oh my gosh.
Bravo, Wu Zheng. You're awesome.
Thank you.
Have you decided?
The captain is so handsome! You have to say yes!
- That's right! - Say yes!
Wu Zheng.
You didn't forget, did you?
What's going on?
No way. We talked about this all night. Where did you put the ring?
- He's acting. - No ring, no wife!
I really forgot it.
You're kidding.
I do.
