Jacob!
Bye.
Hello, Miss Wu?
I'm Alyssa Barns.
The Arkham agency sent me, I am your new housekeeper.
Sorry I'm so early, it was such a long trip...
and I just want to make sure I got here on time.
I hope that's ok?
Aunty, let her in.
Hi, Alyssa.
-I'm Miss Wu. - Hello.
My aunt doesn't speak much English.
That's okay. Am I too early?
No, not at all. Please come in.
Welcome.
You have a gorgeous home.
-This is incredible. - Thank you.
I'm so glad that you could take this job on such short notice.
It's because I need all the help that I can get.
I didn't think I can get anyone since we're so far out.
It was perfect timing for me.
-I need the work. -Please follow me.
Most people likes to be closer to the cities and their families.
I have no one. I'm the only one anyway.
-I am sorry. -Oh no, it's okay.
Well, you come highly recommended. Please take a seat.
-Would you some tea? -Oh no, thank you.
It's just my aunt and I lives in this big house.
Sometimes I think I should just move into a smaller one.
But then I enjoy it here.
-And the more space, the more to clean, right. -Yeah!
But I think I can handle it.
Help yourself to anything in the kitchen.
We're usually early riser.
But you can work at your own pace, as long as things get done.
I do ask of a few things if you live here.
Please respect this place.
It was built on luck and good fortune I been blessed with.
So I ask, please no boyfriends, no guests...
no loud music, drugs and smoking.
If you need to make a call please ask first.
And here, the list of duties.
Everything I expect to be done is on there.
Come, let me show you around. Over this way.
How old is this house?
Not very old.
My father was a well respected architect in China for many years.
He bought this land and built this place shortly before he died.
Down this way.
There are only a few other houses around here.
Most are summer home and empty.
It is an hour drive to the nearest town...
so we go for supplies when we can.
This's where I keep all the cleaning supplies and tools.
And that's the laundry area.
Full of towels and rags.
-If you can't find something, it's probably down here. -Okay!
I'm adding a storage over here.
It is unfinished, So don't worry about.
All these bricks remind me of my father.
He was a mason.
I used to help him built things when I was little.
Wow, you're multi-talented. Maybe I should've you finish the job for me?
-Yeah, maybe. -Let's go.
This is your room.
This is the warmest room in the house.
-Get's plenty of sunlight during the day. -This'll be just fine.
Thanks, this is one of the peaceful places I ever been.
I'm used to more city noises. Car alarms in the night, dog's barking, motorcycles...
This'll be a nice change. I'm a bit of a book worm anyhow.
Oh, there're trails all over. You can take a walk or just find a place to read.
Thanks, I have to do that.
Why don't you get settled? Dinner start just after dark.
Okay, great.
-I'll see you then. -Thanks.
The fried noodle tastes good, thanks. May I trouble you for a cup of tea?
Aunt Chen is a great cook, I hope you like it.
It smells great.
Slowly, here.
Thanks.
-Do you need a fork? -I think I got it.
Let me show you.
First you do it like this.
And the other one like this.
-Okay. -Just pinch.
-Like that? -Uh-hum!
You got it. You're a fast learner.
I like that. It is really nice.
Are you a Catholic? - Yeah, all the way thru school.
-My parents're very strict. -And you're not?
I'm not fanatical or anything but I still go to church whenever I can.
If you can, but you don't want to go?
Why're still wearing it when you don't believe in it?
I don't know.
Guilt, if I don't, I guess.
I see! Enough talking, please go ahead, eat.
We just hired a servant here. She hasn't learnt any customs yet.
Please show your forgiveness for her, if there is any wrongdoing...
Oh good, you found it.
I thought you might need something to keep the dirt off.
Yeah, thank you.
Do you know Feng Shui?
No, I don't.
It's a Chinese chart of placement.
Replacing certain things in relationship to nature.
So we can get success and good fortune.
What's this?
This is a Bagwa mirror.
That's for protection.
Against what?
Bad energies or spirits.
The mirror deflects the influence of negative energy.
And protect the occupants of the home.
So you keep the bad energy out and good energy in?
Something like that.
Come, let's have some tea.
Okay!
All this must seems strange to you.
But this belief have been in my family for generations.
If you follow the rules, nature'll bless you.
-Do you have any other family here? -No, it's just my aunt.
I still've some relatives in China.
I had a little brother once, but we sent him away.
To school?
No, he was sick.
So we sent him to other good doctors.
But no one could help him.
So eventually he died.
Oh, I am sorry.
It's okay.
Hi, this is Alyssa cell. Leave a message, please.
Hey, it's me.
I just wanted to see if you might pick up this time.
I really need to talk to you.
I am so depressed that all I can think about is you.
I know you have not been yourself lately.
But I am still here for you.
We can work this out.
Please just...when you get this, call me...
I need to hear your voice to know that you're okay.
I love you, Alyssa.
Holy spirits bless us.
Holy spirits look out for us. Protect my whole family, please.
Accept our offerings, and travel safe, please.
Alyssa, come. Come!
Go ahead, throw in some. It's just joss paper.
What are you doing? What is all this?
Tonight is the second night of the Chinese ghost world.
We must make offerings to the spirits...
to appease them each night.
-Are you trying to scare me? -Oh...no, no.
Chinese people believe in a lot of things.
Every year in the Chinese calendar, the seventh month is...
known as the "Chinese Ghost Month".
It's believe that during these 30 days, the gates of hell are open.
The souls of the dead, are allowed to roam the earth.
Most spirits are contend with just visiting their relatives.
But some, those who didn't received a proper burial or suicides...
seeks someone to take their place in hell.
Lost souls you mean?
Why burn money and incense?
The sweet smell helps the spirit to find food.
The more you burn...
the more prosperous.
And this hell note...
we offered this to our dead ancestors,
to make sure they have good things in the afterlife.
I didn't realised the Chinese had such believes.
Not all Chinese do, but there're still people
who believed in the ancient ways.
In China, it's taken very seriously.
Important business meeting are rescheduled...
wedding postponed.
No one swims.
The streets are empty.
And no one goes out after dark.
I guess I should go inside now, to sleep.
-I didn't scare you, did I? -No.
Goodnight.
Murderer.
Help us.
No, no!
That's a ghost, that's bad luck.
-I'm sorry Miss Wu, I thought it was trash. -Be quiet!
Go back inside.
I'm sorry, Holy spirits.
Please don't blame her for this. She doesn't know anything.
I beg for your mercy. Let's us go and don't disturb us.
Holy spirits, please, don't blame her. Please blame me if you have to.
I'll burn more Hell notes for you tomorrow. Alyssa is just a kid, don't lay hands on her.
Alyssa.
Alyssa!
Are you okay?
Alyssa...
I'm going into town for awhile and I'll be back later.
-Did you finish your laundry? -Yes, it's drying now.
Good! You work so hard.
Why don't you finish up here
and take the rest of the day to yourself.
Thanks, I have a book I want to get into.
You should take a walk.
-I'll be back later. -Okay, bye!
-Hey, what are you doing here? -Err, iust here reading that's all.
You're trespassing.
Oh!
This is private property here.
The property line is just over there. Didn't you see?
Oh, I wasn't aware. I thought I was on the Wu's estate still.
I must have just wander a bit too far.
-Are you a friend's of her? -I'm her new housekeeper.
So you're the new maid.
I prefer the term housekeeper, but yes.
That crazy bitch thinks she owned most of the mountain.
I'm not surprised you thought you're still on her land.
Are you the neighbor?
Yeah, I live just down the path here.
Listen, I'm really sorry about this.
Oh, no worries...
it's just that every year during the same month...
that Wu's old lady burning things in the middle of the night.
Last year the wind kick up and blew some ashes this way...
and burnt down this part of the forest.
And almost my house, so...
I've to keep a close eye on those two.
I see!
So, what's your name?
Alyssa.
Nice to meet you, Alyssa. Blake.
What are you reading?
Room of one's own by Virginia Woolf.
-Great author. -Really!
What's your favorite book of hers?
Ahh, there're too many to name.
I...I like them all.
Yeah, it's nice to meet a man who likes femininist author.
Touche!
-Well, I should get going. -Hey, you can come back anytime you like.
As long as you don't light any fires.
Bye!
Wow, so beautiful.
Hello, Wu's residence.
Alyssa?
-Yes, this is she. -It's Tessa of the agency.
-Oh hi! -I've left a few messages for you, did you get them?
Oh...No, sorry.
There's a Nicole who called here a few times asking for your work number.
I've told her our policy against giving out client's number.
But I told her I'll call you personally to relay the message.
Thanks, I'll call her.
Okay, no problem.
Hello.
Hey, it's me.
Hey, I've been worried about you. I haven't heard from you in awhile.
-I left like about ten messages. -Yeah, I don't have that number anymore.
Why not?
No one seems to call my cell except Jacob so I tossed it.
-He's still bothering you? -Isn't he always!
Well, he've call my phone likes 100 times looking for you.
-He just doesn't get it. -He'll get over you.
They always do.
Are you okay?
I think I'm seeing things.
What do you mean?
It is nothing.
I'm sure you're just stress. You just need to relax.
-Yeah, I know. -So...
-How's your new job? -It's good.
It's different from anything I've done before but...
I like it. It's real quiet and peaceful out here.
How is your new boss? -She is nice.
Kind of strange, sometimes.
They have a lot of strange customs.
I'm always seeing them burning things in the front yard.
Well, as long as it's not your pay-check, who cares...right?
Right.
Hey, I'm not really allowed to use this phone....
but if you wanna reach me, you can still call the agency
and they'll give me your message.
-I can still email you, right? -Well, no.
There is no internet or cable here.
Oh!
-Well, that sucks. -She is a bit old-fashioned.
And I don't mind, I mean I like being not so available all the time.
Hang in there, you need this job.
But once you got enough money save up,
you can get your own place and get on with your life.
Listen, I gotta go...I'll talk to you soon, okay!
-Okay! -Bye!
Where did you get that dress?
It was in my closet. It's so beautiful, I had to try it on.
It fits perfectly.
Do you like it?
Take it off now!
I've some other business to attend to.
Yes, ma'am!
Mei-Ling.
Hello?
That girl is coming this way...
Kill her. Kill her.
She must die!
-Miss Wu? -Yeah, what is it, dear?
I have finished cleaning all the tiles like you ask
and all the clothes are washed.
Thank you.
-Is there anything else? -No, I think that's it.
Why don't you go relax, take a hot bath.
You doing a great job here.
Is there something else?
I found this in my room. Who is Mei-Ling?
That name I haven't heard in awhile.
Does she used to live here?
Yeah!
She was the housekeeper, before you.
She lived here for a few years.
She is pretty.
Yeah! Actually, you remind me a lot of her.
The Gosha girl's. One day she left.
-Why? -A man.
What's wrong with you? So careless!
Did you get hurt? Bleeding could be a bad sign.
Holy spirit,
kindly accept these offerings before you go travel safely, and leave us in peace.
Starting from today till the Ghost Festival, me and aunty will worship you everyday...
For today, please accept these, a big car and a big house. Plus a Rolex...
Alyssa.
You must help me.
Is anyone out there?
Somebody help me.
Murderer.
Is anyone there?
Murderer, murderer...
Alyssa...Alyssa, wake up. Wake up!
-Are you okay? -Ooww!
What's going on?
Let's go inside.
Clean up the mess, aunt.
Hi, this is Alyssa cell, leave a message, please.
Alyssa, it's me.
Where are you? I'm really worried about you.
I've been driving around all night looking for you...
hoping that you're okay.
I don't even know where I'm at right now.
I can't take this...I...
I really need to talk to you.
Why don't you answer my calls? What did I do to you?
Why are you doing this?
You know what? You are a real fucking bitch.
I hate you!
You probably out fucking some other guy, is that it?
What...what! You...
dump me and then you go fuck somebody else life up?
You're just a fucking whore, like my mother.
Fine, you can've your other boyfriend. I don't care.
Don't ever call me again. It's over.
And I'm fucking over you.
Fuck!
Hi, this is Alyssa cell, leave a message, please.
Hey!
I am sorry I said those things.
I just...
felt a lot of hurt, you know.
I need you to call me when you get this, okay?
I'll be here. Just call me back.
Talk to you soon.
Alyssa.
Alyssa...
come to me over here. Help me.
TW!
Leave me alone.
Leave me alone!
Fuck!
Help!
Oh my god!
I need to think.
Help us! Help us!
Stop!
Help us.
Murderer.
What do you want from me?
Murderer.
Stop! Please just stop!
Murderer.
Leave me alone.
I can't take it anymore.
Alyssa!
Are you okay?
I can't take this any longer. They won't stop.
Why can't they just leave me alone?
Who won't?
Them. These people.
The ghosts.
She must have provoked the spirits or something.
I'll have to burnt more offering to pacify them.
Listen, Alyssa.
During the Chinese ghost's month, if you offend a ghost...
you've bad luck for the whole month.
It is very important, to follow the rules.
What rules?
Each custom has its rules.
During this ghost month, you must not whistle.
Because that will only invite them into your house.
And if you're outside and you hear someone called
your name from behind...
you must never turn back.
But the most important of all...
is that you have to respect the offerings,
and never distrupt the food or ash.
-But I step on... -Shh...say no more.
Tomorrow I'll burn more offerings and you'll be fine.
But remember, if you leave them alone...
and they'll leave you alone.
Okay!
If I leave them alone, they'll leave me alone.
You'll be okay.
Good morning! Did you sleep okay?
No, not really. What's this?
This is a Chinese guard called "Chung Kwai."
He's a ghost catcher.
And all the ghosts're afraid of him.
I put him here to protect your room.
Thanks...I think.
"Chung Kwai, the ghost catcher"
Blake, hi!
-What are you doing here? -This is for you.
Since you like to read and all.
The biology of horses...
by Dr. Blake Reesy.
-Is that you? -Yeah, I have signed it for you right there.
Wow!
Thanks.
I am honored.
I'll give it a read as soon as I can.
Wow!
This is a nice place.
You know, I've live up here a long time and I've never set foot here.
Not very "neighborly", I suppose.
I'm not suppose to have anyone inside and no one else is here right now.
It's one of Miss Wu's golden rules.
Haven't you ever broken one?
Well, I like my job and I like to keep it.
Please, you probably should go.
Don't worry! I've seen her drive past
my house a few minutes ago with the old lady.
Would you like something to drink?
-Sure! What do you have? -Let's see!
Martini, a double Scotch...
...water?
Water is fine.
So you're an author then?
Sometimes.
I just have the one book, but I'm working on another.
I mainly breed horses on my estate.
-I am a vet. -A vet?
Wow!
How exciting.
-Are you married? -No.
So you're a single part-time writer...
a vet and you like to breed horses on your estate.
Are you gay?
Good one!
This was the first house built up in this part.
The Wu family bought most of the land around here,
and then eventually sold it off.
She's definitely from old money.
How long have you lived here?
I bought my place about six years ago.
It took a while to get used to the isolation, but...
I've grown to like it.
How about you?
-I'm sick of city life. -That bad, huh?
That bad!
I found this in my room.
Do you know her?
No I don't. Why...why do you ask?
Her name's Mei-Ling.
She was the housekeeper here before me and...
I was just wondering...
Dr. Reesy.
What did I tell you about having people over without my permission?
-Well, I know but he... -I should be going now.
-Thanks for the water. -I'll show you out.
What are you doing here?
I was just coming to get to know your new girl.
She doesn't need any friends, especially one like you.
What's that suppose to mean?
Goodbye, Dr. Reesy.
You know, I was thinking maybe...
Alyssa!
-Yes, madam. -Come over here.
Alright.
-Do you like wine? -Sure.
Here! This red wine is good for you.
What's the occasion?
Let's take a seat.
I'm sorry I was short with you earlier.
I seems to be having a stretch of bad luck.
Remember you ask me about Mei-Ling a few days ago?
-Yeah. -Well, the man she was involved with...
It was Blake.
Really?
He told me he didn't know her.
Well, I'm not surprised.
He is a liar.
What happened?
Are you sure you want to hear of this?
I'm sure.
Well...
She was a good girl.
Very quiet.
It gets lonely out here, you know.
I didn't think anything of it at the beginning.
But then I start noticing her not coming home at night...
I saw them kissing in the forest a few times.
It's really none of my business.
But then she started forgetting her chores and...
arguing with me over things.
I was hoping things would get better.
But then one night...
she ran to the house.
Screaming and dripping with blood.
I was terrified.
Something had happened to her.
She was beaten.
-My god! Blake did it? -He was the last to see her that night.
But he denied it.
So we cleaned her up, and her wounds healed.
She won't tell us what happened that night and...
who did it. She just accept it.
As time went on, Blake stopped coming around.
And she became more and more depressed.
The life force seems to had been suck out of her.
Where is it she now?
I honestly don't know.
She vanished.
One day, we found her room empty.
And this was on her bed.
My dear Ms. Wu,
My life has become empty.
I can't bear the loneliness.
I'm sorry but I must go.
Mei-Ling!
That was two months ago.
Well, didn't the police or her family tried to find her?
Well, she ran away, and didn't want to be found.
Plus, she was illegally in this country.
I think the police would be the last people she wants to see.
That's so sad.
Well...Alyssa, I don't mean to scare you.
But if I were you...
I would stay away from him, okay?
Hello!
Hey Nicole!
Hey, you're up late.
Yeah, I can't sleep.
What's wrong?
I don't know what's wrong with me lately.
I think I'm going crazy.
You could be lonely out there or what?
Have you ever had a dream, that was so real...
you couldn't tell if it was reality or not?
Sometimes...everybody does.
I keep seeing...things.
-People. -Hey, I don't follow.
Do you believe in spirits?
I see where this is going, you think you're seeing ghosts, right?
I don't know what to believe anymore.
-Miss Wu seems to think so. -Wait. Miss Wu think you're seeing ghosts?
Yeah, she thinks I might have offended them.
And you believe her?
Jesus Alyssa,
it's no wonder you're seeing things. You're creeping yourself out.
Yeah...
it's all the stories she's had told.
Do you remember when we were little?
And the boys told us not to go into that dark tunnel
under Preston drive?
That was so creepy.
They told us there was an old hag who live there,
and would eat us if we went near it.
And we believe those bastards.
I never did go near it after that.
It is the same thing. Fear through suggestion.
Don't let this woman scared you with old wives tales.
Yeah, you're probably right.
Thanks for the talk.
Are you sure you're going to be okay?
I'm fine.
I probably should go,
if I get caught using this phone, I'm in big trouble.
-Okay, bye! -Bye!
Jesus, Nicole.
What the hell are you doing here, you fucking psycho?
I call and call and call...
But no one ever answer me.
Why is that, Nicole?
I feel a little unappreciated.
I want to know where she is.
I told you, she's not here.
You lying bitch.
Don't fuck with me. Where is she?
I know she's in here. I still smell the perfume I bought her.
Now I can also smell a liar.
What's the matter with you people? No one ever listens to me.
I need to know where she's at.
Don't want to hurt you, I just need to find her.
I've things to tell her, I've things to work out.
Tell me! Don't make me do this.
Tell me!
Open your fucking mouth and tell me now!
I'm sorry! I didn't...
This is all your fault.
Hey, Alyssa.
That's a nice surprise.
If you came to see my horses, I'm sorry to disappoint.
-What's bring you by? -You are a damn liar.
-Excuse me? What're you talking about? -You know what.
Mei-Ling.
Remember now?
You don't understand.
-Where did you get this? -What did you do to her?
I did nothing to her. She wants to visit her family and...
at least that's what she told me.
You are a liar.
Look, I know her, alright!
We had a little romance and that was it.
She wanted me to take her to town to get away from Ms. Wu and...
So I did it.
We had a little fun and then she stopped coming around.
-Beating a woman isn't romance. -Beating?
-What are you talking about? -Just stay away from me.
Alyssa, wait.
Yes, twelve o' clock tomorrow should be just fine.
I'll to check with her first but she's usually pretty flexible.
I'll tell her about the key.
Please have a seat. I'll be right with you.
That should be just fine, Mrs. Robertson.
Have a nice day, bye bye!
Hello!
How can I help you?
Uhm, you smell nice.
Thanks.
I like this!
Are they new?
Yes, actually.
So, what brings you in today?
-Do you need a housekeeper? -Actually, yes.
I'm looking for one in particular.
-So can you tell me where she's working. -Well...
We're not allowed to give out client's personal information.
Get in a lot of trouble for that.
I understand.
I wouldn't want to get you in trouble.
So who is this girl you're looking for?
-Your girlfriend? -She is my sister.
I've been trying to call her cell-phone for weeks but nothing.
I'm worried about her.
Our father's very ill and...
she needs to come back to be with the family.
Oh!
Hang on.
-What did you say her name was? -Alyssa.
Alyssa Barns.
Here we go.
She's been assigned to the Wu's resident.
It's a bit of a hike from here.
Been trying to fill out that position for quite sometime.
Here is the address.
Thank you, darling.
And if you need any direction or...
anything at all.
My number's on the other side.
Not a chance.
Hey!
What the hell are you doing here?
Uhm, err...
-I was... -You were what?
What's in there?
It's...it's a dead horse.
You're lying.
-Am I? -You always buried things at night?
-Why? Is that a crime? -Stay away from me.
Hey, come back here.
Holy spirits, please look out for my whole family.
Full moon or crescent, we will keep offering you sacrificial things.
When you arrive here, please, just pass by our door
and go safely on your journey.
Liar!
Murderer!
Help us!
Murderer!
-Alyssa, are you okay? -Yeah! Yeah!
-What is going on? -I...I'm okay!
Take her inside.
Give her...rub some ointment on her.
-Hold her! -Follow me!
Hand me that bowl, please.
Oh!
Are you feeling better?
I think so.
I must have passed out again.
Yeah! We found you laying on the patio earlier.
You're fine. But you were just lying there like you fell asleep.
I remember just seeing something and...
Listen, tonight's the last night of the ghost month.
You should be happy.
Because you know, the king of hell...
is gonna come out and gather all the spirits...
and take them back to hell.
You won't see them anymore tomorrow.
Just remember to follow all the rules
next year and they'll bless you. And you'll have good luck.
-Well, I should get back to work. -It's okay if you want to rest.
I think I better just get it done.
Oh Alyssa, there's a message for you.
-Really? -It's over there on the counter.
Tessa from the Arkham Agency called.
Call tomorrow after 9 a.m. Miss Wu.
I had a little brother once, but we sent him away.
He was sick, he eventually died.
She vanished! One day, we found the room empty.
And this was on her bed.
The handwriting is identical.
My god!
This word.
Hey!
Gate of Hell's closing soon. Help us out.
Murderer.
Alyssa, come to me over here. Help me.
Murderer.
I want revenge! I want justice!
Alyssa? Are you in there?
Going somewhere?
-Err, I was...I was going... -I thought we had an agreement.
-We do! But I...I... -I see you've been snooping around.
As a housekeeper, you're awfully messy.
You know I've been thinking,
this might not worked out. You're fired!
Alyssa.
Gate of Hell is closing soon. Help us.
Hey!
Let me out of here!
What am I gonna do with you?
-Ms. Wu please. Let me out. -You know that she was punished.
I like you.
But if you would mind your own business instead of snooping in mine all the time,
We could have been great friend. But friends come and go.
Why did you kill her?
Killed? Why do you want to make me sound like a murderer?
I set them free!
You are a murderer!
Huh!
Someone like you could never understand my belief.
Why do you judge me, anyway?
You wear a cross around your neck, but you have no faith.
Only guilt and meaningless mundane rituals.
A god you worshipped at your convienences.
How could you do the things you had done?
My elders believe in "Yong Kwai-Chai", (Raising a child devil)
"Raised child diabolus."
I sold them at high prices.
For generations, my bloodline
made a fortune on this practice.
We eventually were persecuted.
Fortune turn bad and we were also cursed.
My little brother, born an invalid.
It was an omen of bad fortune.
So we isolated him from the others.
It is like a boom. Luck continue running out.
I need to protect my family.
-He had to be sent away! -Send away? You mean murder!
I don't expect you to understand. Luck is not by chance.
There is a structure to it. Rules and sacrifices that must be made.
My elders knew the rules and respected them.
Fortune cannot be achieved without sacrifice.
You are a sick bitch.
Watch your tongue or I'll cut it out.
Murderer!
Tonight is the last night.
And you know what's going to close the "Gate of Hell?"
But offerings are no longer enough.
You've offended a ghost, and now they are very angry.
I want revenge. I want justice.
-It's all your fault. -Hey, come back here!
Ms. Wu! Let me out!
Let me out of here!
Murderer!
You must die!
You betrayed me. You betrayed me.
Murderer!
Alyssa, what are you doing? Untie me now!
Okay, I have money. You know! Name a price.
It's all yours!
I have my car, jewelry upstairs. You name it, it's all yours.
I don't want to die.
Neither did they!
Alyssa, come back. Come back!
Alyssa!
I was going to kill myself, then I got to thinking...
if you are dead, it must be a very lonely existence.
I don't want to be alone.
Not anymore. I want you!
I love you, Alyssa.
We'll be together this way.
No more lonely nights, dreaming about the future.
Death has to be better than life.
Think about it? Eternity! A never ending circle of love.
You and me, together forever.
Jacob, listen to me.
I want revenge. I want justice.
Murderer!
You are getting crazy, let me go!
It'll only hurt for a second. And then it'll be all over!
-First you than me. -No!
Murderer!
Just a few more moments of this tortured life, then we'll in heaven.
Together.
Let's seal this moment with a kiss.
Get away from her!
Is this your new boyfriend?
You know, I'm not the jealous type, but you're my girl.
Alyssa, Untie me!
Murderer!
I don't want to die. I don't want to die!
Murderer!
We are through!
Let's get out of here!
ONE YEAR LATER
It seemed all like a dream.
I only wish I could wake up.
I returned to the city, but these memories follow me wherever I go.
A year ago today, I thought my life had just begun.
But it has never been the same.
I will never understand the evil in this world.
But it comfort me to knows...
it doesn't always goes unpunish.
Miss Wu and Aunt Chen burned the money and incense to bribe the dead.
But justice has no price for a victim.
Miss Wu once told me if I follow the rules next year...
I'll be blessed and have good luck.
Tonight, I burned these offerings not for luck or blessing...
but for Mei-Ling, TW, and my best friend Nicole.
I can only hope their soul's do not wander,
and they find peace!
Alyssa...
