Lost in Beijing Page #4

Synopsis: Lin Dong and Wang Mei are a childless couple in Beijing, wealthy, approaching middle age. Lin owns a foot-massage parlor. One afternoon he rapes one of his workers, Liu Pingguo, who has nearly passed out from drinking alcohol with a friend. Part of the assault is witnessed by Liu's husband, An Kun, a window washer. He's angry with the boss and with his wife, and he seeks compensation. Lin's wife counsels him and joins in revenge. Then, Liu realizes she's pregnant and a set of emotional calculations ensues: Lin wants to buy the child, Wang agrees but has conditions, An Kun goes back and forth and barely contains his anger; Liu withdraws. The baby comes. Can anything be sorted out?

You won't get a penny from me

I'm just talking with you

Look, this is caused by you

You should accept your responsibility

Now, she is pregnant

If you want to report me

Go ahead

I just want to talk to you

Get out

I will call security

Why are you so rude?

I will report you for sure

You just go ahead and file your case

Why ask me to pick you up?

Where's your car?

Flat tire

Liu Pingguo is pregnant

You have to accept it

I've already made my decision

My principle is that anything with a 70% chance

Then it is worth trying

We are a married couple

This will never change

We can adopt this baby

I can't change what you have already decided

Sixteen years and it's always like this

I can only accept it

However, we must sign an agreement

If during this process you do anything to hurt me

For example...

You start another affair with Liu Pingguo

Or to do something harmful to me

All your assets will be mine

Wang Mei, when I think about this

I think of us as a family

If you talk like that

We are up against each other

But I can't act like a lamb

Waiting to be slaughtered by you

Alright

So if anything happened

I'll split my assets fifty-fifty with you

You think I will fall for a country girl?

Pull over

What? I can't stop here

Pull over!

Wang Mei

Wang Mei

Come on up here, let's talk

Up here!

What's your blood type?

Type "A"

I'm a "B"

What about Liu Pingguo?

She is an "O"

Let's put it this way

If this baby is born a "B"

Then it's my child and I'll keep it

I'll pay you $100,000

If it's blood type "A"

You will not lose everything

Because you'll have your own child

If it's blood type "O"

Then we'll have to undergo a DNA test

What do you think about this deal?

It's not right

What's wrong with it?

Tell me

I don't think we can do it like this

Earlier you denied you and my wife had...

So you refused to pay me $20,000

That is one issue

Now you want this child

That's a different issue

This is about two separate issues

Your logic is wrong

If you accept my deal, there's only one issue

Then it's only $100,000

How can it be just one issue?

You didn't even want to pay me before

Because you denied you and my wife have ever...

This is irrelevant

It is relevant!

Do you now admit you f***ed my wife?

Why bring this up again?

There's no need to talk about this

This is the key to both issues

Since you want your child

You have therefore admitted you f***ed my wife

So you must pay me $100,000 first

No, $20,000 for compensation

This is one issue

Now Liu Pingguo is pregnant

You want that baby in her belly

So you must pay me another $100,000

That's the second issue

We are talking about two issues!

Right now, I can't tell you clearly
