"The Rhinoceros Horn can be used as herbal medicine
to strengthen the heart and remove heatiness, and toxic substances.
Volume 67 of The Book of Jin records:
During the Jin Dynasty, the scholar Wen Qiao
came upon unfathomable waters at Wuchang's Niuzhuji Province.
He set alight a rhinoceros horn for illumination, when suddenly
thousands of phantoms with ferocious appearances
Ievitated along the waves, scaring all those who witnessed.
In Chinese history, this becomes known as "lllumination with Rhinoceros Horn."
Why don't we ask them all here for a group picture?
--Sounds good! --Come on!
"Everyone all together". A good omen! Let's all take a picture!
Come on, Auntie Cheung.
Careful...
Over there, Wong.
Careful now! Don't bump into people.
Shi, where's Nin and Ngau?
Nin got so scared, he had to go to the toilet!
Yes! He's gone to the toilet!
Stop crying now.
You're the only one I would marry.
Tell him to pack some medicine for his stomach.
But where's Ngau?
There are so many pretty girls at the capital.
What if you fall for one of them?
Don't worry, I won't.
Everyone, come over here for a group picture!
Come, let's all take a picture.
Come on...
Stand closer together, all of you.
Children in the front...
A bit closer still.
Ready...
Wait! Don't forget me!!
Hurry up!
Wait for me!
What have you done?! Oh no...
Nin, what the hell is wrong with you?!
We wanted to take a picture together, and now we can't be together anymore!
That's not a good thing to say.
Sorry, young master...sorry...
It's all right. We're not superstitious!
May the winds and waters be with us all the way to Siukatsui!
Ling Gi.
Daddy is going now.
"Flying and flying, the butterflies are playing.
But you're the only one in your father's heart."
Take care.
Oh no!
Where are you going now?
I left 2 pillows in the room!
Then go get them!
Hurry up! The boat's about to leave!
Why are you here? Get on the boat!
I forgot my pillow and quilt!
But you have taken so many things already!
You're always like this!
Remember to take good care of yourself.
"LAU'S RESlDENCE"
This is for you.
Our family finances are not as good as before.
You should keep your money for starting your business
instead of buying me any presents.
It's not expensive. It's the thought that counts.
Let me help you.
The rope is too short.
It's all right. I can wear it on my wrist.
Remember, you promised me.
You have to be back in three years.
I will, I promise. These few years will be hard on you though.
Don't worry. I'll take good care of the house.
I'll be waiting for you.
Goodbye...
Goodbye! Take care...
Goodbye!
Be careful!
Goodbye!
Young Madam!
Are you all right??
FOUR YEARS LATER
"SlN CHO TONG (Fantastical Herbs Clinic)"
We have customers!
I have brought with me top grade bezoar.
Ask your boss to come take a look.
Mr. Kwan, you've been fooled. This is fake bezoar.
What? Are you saying that my clinic carries fake herbs?!
I'm just telling the truth.
Top grade bezoar should have a dark gold coating on top
with turtle-shell cracks,
and the smell should be a fragrant one
and not a pungent one like typha.
What are you all doing here?
Young master...
Also, natural bezoar is actually cows' gallstone.
Just like an ordinary stone,
it should not change its texture or lose its color when immersed in water.
If you don't mind, I can show you.
Boss Lau's apprentice is really something!
You're too kind.
Mr. Kwan? I'm Lau Shing.
Nice to meet you.
This is Ngau. He's still an apprentice.
But I can tell he's smart.
I think he'll soon be behind the herb counter.
That's too early.
Maybe 2 or 3 years from now.
Ngau, you didn't let me and our young master down!
Bravo, Ngau!
I'm impressed by the unity of the Sin Cho Tong staff.
No wonder Miss Susie at the western medicine factory
just can't stop praising you, Mr. Lau!
I hope our collaboration will be a successful one!
I'll prepare the contract.
Thank you, thank you so much.
We'll meet again.
Take care.
Terrific! We'll head back to the village tomorrow.
Go and check stock at the warehouse tonight.
I'll bring you all snacks later.
--Yes! --Thank you, young master!
Let's go to work!
Brother Shing, why do you want to return to the village so soon?
I'm worried something might have happened.
But sister-in-law didn't mention anything in her letters!
Look.
This is nothing special.
Dong Guai, Sook Dei,
bitter ginseng, "red wife"...
Sister-in-law is probably suffering from anemia and arthritis.
I'll put together some medicine and send it to her, and she'll be fine.
You should read what the words imply.
"Red wife, bitter heart, solitary life.
Unfamiliar land, return, familiar land.
Ling Gi, happiness, on sight."
Your sister-in-law is saying that she feels lonely
and that Ling Gi misses her father so much.
Wai really wants me to go back!
But what about Sin Cho Tong if you're not here?
How about this? You stay here, and I'll go back on your behalf.
No way. I haven't seen my wife and daughter in four years.
I must go back this time.
And, I am meeting a guest tonight. I won't be joining the rest of you.
We have customers!
This way, boss.
Mr. Lau! You're late again!
This way please...
Mr. Lau, please...
Drink this as your punishment!
You two have always wanted to lose your virginity to Mr. Lau.
Well, he is leaving tomorrow!
Mr. Lau, please help them out.
"Kill two birds with one stone". Don't let them regret this for the rest of their lives!
Come on...
Mr. Ho, I'm accustomed to the smell of medicine, not the scent of perfume.
Wow! We have a poet here!
Mr. Lau, I know you're good at doing business,
but what about drinking?
Why don't we have a few rounds together?
I wish I can,
but I won't lie to you. I'm not much of a drinker.
Besides, that's tea in your glass, not wine.
My mistake!
Drink some more...
I'll have a drink with Mr. Lau.
Madam!
Madam! You're here too!
This is not a suitable place for you!
I just want to share a farewell dinner with Mr. Lau alone.
Why are you leaving?
I'm not leaving for good. I just want to go back to the village
and see if there are any prospects for our business there.
And you'll never come back here if there are?
Madam...
Call me Susie.
You're always my best business partner.
Sin Cho Tong would not have become what we are today
without your help over these past few years.
And we would never have made so much money.
I'll forever be grateful to you.
Would you be willing to stay here if it wasn't for the business?
Stay...for me?
Shi?!
Madam...
I want the money, and you want him.
We share the same goal.
Oh no! The place is on fire!!
Don't just run away!! Get the stock!
Herbs first! Somebody gets the angelica on the 2nd floor!
Open the cabinet and take the ginseng and the stags' pilose antler!
Open the door! Open the door!
Uncle Fook!
Uncle Fook! Are you all right?
Open the door! Open the door!!
The front door is locked!
What are you doing??
Get away from me!!
You can't go in! It's too dangerous!!
All my colleagues are in there!!
Follow him right now!
There's no way out at the back!
Out of my way! There's an exit at the back!
This won't work. Let's go up!
Roof! To the roof!!
Hurry!
Help me!! Help!!!
Nin!
Help me!!
Nin!!
Uncle Fook!
Help! There's someone here!!
Grab the rope! Hold on! Don't let it go!!
--young master... --Chung! Behind you!!
Chung! Chung!!
CHUNG!!
Help! Help!!
Ngau!
Help! We're still here! Help!!
Help! Some people are still here!!
Help! Help!!
Young master! Young master!!
YOUNG MASTER!!!
Captain!
This fire is suspicious.
Someone deliberately started it...
Who? Who started the fire?!
Who started the fire?? Tell me!!
You can stop acting! Someone saw you start the fire!
What are you talking about?!
Lau Shing is my boss.
I don't know why he did that.
He started the fire right there.
Luckily I ran away, otherwise I would've been burned alive.
"TEET LUNG (lRON CAGE) PRlSON"
Well?
I am asking you a question!!
I was framed.
Framed?!
I've been here for so long,
I can tell straight away if someone's telling the truth or not!
But I am innocent, really!
Innocent?
I believe that you are innocent, my savior.
You cured my god-grandmother's illness and never asked for money!
As she always says, "Remember your savior's gratitude forever".
I promised her I will return the favor!
Fine. You let me go then. Let me go!
I have a wife and a daughter.
I haven't seen them for 4 years!
Let me out of here!!
Actually...
Returning the favor has nothing to do with letting you go.
It is my duty as a police to catch you.
I'm only responsible for watching you
and I can make sure that you eat and sleep well.
Even if you're here for years, you'll be fine!
Then please help me find a lawyer. I want to go to court!
Can you help me?
Do you know any lawyers?
But, savior...we're talking about 7 murders here.
No lawyer will dare to take your case.
And even if you find one, what are you going to pay him with?
All your assets have been frozen, you know!
But still, that doesn't mean you should just give up hope!
I know a lawyer. She speaks good English.
But most importantly, she has never lost a case yet!
However...
I don't know if she will want to fight for you...
Of course I will!
How about taking the case then?
No way! Are you crazy?!
But this is a case of injustice! The man was framed!
You'll make a name for yourself if you win the case.
But what if I don't? He will be executed,
and I'll feel guilty for the rest of my life!
No way!
You have to, or you'll lose for sure!
Go to hell!
I'll poke you to death!
Hey! What are you doing??
He's the cricket here, not you!
Why are you poking him?!
I'll poke you too!
No!
Sorry...
We'll cut it out.
Where're you going?
I have to pee! Don't follow me!
Father!! Help!!!
Help me, Father!!
Help! Father!!
My father's urn!
It hurts!
You wretched girl! Do you know the trouble you've caused
when you took that piss?!
Our family burial plot is "Ravens Descending on a Field"!
And I thought that our good feng shui would have ensured generations of our Lam family
to be great officials or ministers for all posterity!
Now you've ruined everything, thanks to your piss!
Do you even know what you've done?!
Of course I knew about the burial plot, father.
That's why I walked so far away to pee.
My piss couldn't have possibly reached your plot!
You...
She's right! Even if I piss standing up,
...the best I can do is to reach this far!
There's no way her piss could reach all the way to your "raven's nest"!
You should talk!
It would be perfect if you're a mute!
Keep talking and I'll cut yours off
and feed it to the chicken!
And you!! What do you know about feng shui?!
I'm not mad at you for peeing into the plot.
I'm mad at your pee!
Your urine ruined its spiritual aura!
That's why the crows were flying everywhere!
Let me tell you...This "Ravens Descending on a Field" plot
is a very sensitive plot!
It's fine when it's dormant, but once it moves,
the whole world will shake! It's a sign of great prosperity!
If your grandfather had been buried there,
not only would you become a lawyer, you would've been the Minister of Justice too!
So...what do we do now?
It's all over now!!
The plot's feng shui has been ruined. There goes our future!
You can forget about practicing law. You won't even get to be a chef!
Hey, look here. I got to be a lawyer
because I studied so hard for it at college!
See for yourself!
I graduated from Law School with First Class Honors,
and Chief Justice himself signed my license to practice!
Are you telling me all these signatures came about through your geomancy mumbo-jumbo?
She's right!
Siu Chin became a lawyer because of her hard work!
Keep talking and I'll cut off your tongue!
Do you really think
you can become a lawyer with your mediocre talent?!
Others only moved once to find a good plot.
I've moved so many times, I can't even remember the number!
I finally found this good feng shui land
and I did it all for you! And you dare tell me you don't believe in it?!
He's right!
To be a lawyer, Siu Chin, you have to believe in some sort of feng shui too.
Of course I believe in it!
Without feng shui,
how could you have conned money out of so many people to raise me?
You wretched girl!!
I'm going to die of anger because of you!!
Who do you think you are?
You look nothing like a lawyer!!
You've practiced law for so long and you have yet to win a case!!
I'm telling you...you just try...
Try win a case without relying on my feng shui!
That's right! Take on that big case!
Show him you can win!
Fine! We've argued enough.
I'll take on the "Sin Cho Tong" case
and I'm not going to lose.
But, if I lose...
I'll let you cut my weenie off and feed it to the chicken!
What do you think you're doing??
Quiet! Quiet!!!
Are you all right?
After a couple visits, you'll feel right at home!
My savior!
This is the lawyer I told you about.
Sit down!
Are you really a lawyer?
Don't be fooled by how little she is. She's actually older than she looks!
And, she's a First Class Honors graduate from Law School!
"WAl"
She looks more like a beautician.
Girls love to keep themselves pretty, you know.
You said she's experienced and has never lost?
That's right.
Really, she's never lost a divorce case!
I wasn't lying.
What about murder?
She's never fought one... I guess you can say she's never lost.
Go!! Get out of here!!
My savior...
You too!!
You call yourself a lawyer??
And you've never lost?!
You've been putting on make-up since the moment you got here!
It'll take more than her to fool me!!
So did you kill anyone?
Will anyone believe me if I didn't??
Then you have nothing to fear as long as you're innocent.
It doesn't matter whether the lawyer is a man or woman, big or small.
The case will go in your favor.
Mr. Lau, if you have no other questions, may we begin?
How are you? I'm Lam Siu Chin, a lawyer.
I'd like to see Judge Hung.
Please wait here.
I'm sorry, but His Honor is too busy to see you.
Hey...
I have no idea why my young master would do something like this.
I wouldn't believe it myself
had I not seen it with my own eyes.
Pang Shi! What are you talking about?!
I've treated you as if you're my own brother!
Why are you framing me?
Why? Tell me!!
TELL ME!!
I'm Lau Shing's lawyer. I need your help.
Can you defend him in court?
Sure!
We were in the same trade, after all. Of course I'll defend him!
Even though we're in the same trade, I still have to tell the truth.
Lau Shing left on his own after having drinks with us that night.
Whether he started the fire or not...
I really can't say for sure.
You can't win.
Why not?
This is too difficult a case to win.
But Master, didn't you tell me
that no matter how difficult a case is, there's still a way to win it?
This case is different, because you're fighting against "money".
Money can make the crooked straight
and turn black into white.
Thanks for your help.
Don't mention it... I know what to do next.
Can you think of anyone else that can help Lau Shing?
There's one more person.
Who's that?
Susie.
But she's gone missing, and no one can find her.
A woman vanishing all of a sudden for no reason?
Maybe there's something fishy going on!
What to do now? Tomorrow's the last day of the trial!
Mr. Savior will die for sure!
Defense attorney, how much longer do we have to wait
for your so-called "very important" witness
to appear?
Who's there?
Brother Lau is innocent, Miss Lam.
You have to save him.
Who are you, really?
Brother Lau told me
that I would always be his best business partner.
Susie?
Really, Brother Lau is innocent.
He did not set fire to Sin Cho Tong.
Because I was there when the fire started.
That's great!
Finally, someone who can prove Lau's innocence!
You must take the stand tomorrow morning at 9 and testify for him!
Dammit! It started pouring all of a sudden!
Great, you're back!
Susie's here!
Here? Where?
Susie?
She'll be here very soon.
Your Honor. Please give me 1 0 more minutes.
I've already gone against all precedents by giving you many "1 0 minutes".
We can't wait any longer.
Please, Your Honor, I beg you...
On the charges of murder by arson,
the court finds the defendant, Lau Shing...
guilty!
The trial is now over!
The sentencing will commence in 5 days.
Use your last resort, Siu Chin!
I've used them all up!
Remember what your father said? Think outside the box!
Try approach it from another angle!
You go and ask my father for help then!
Hey! The chick is here!
Open the door!
Who're you calling "chick"?!
It wasn't me!
I've been studying for so many years.
Only now do I realize I've been studying bullshit.
All I learned is totally useless!
During these past 2 months,
I've worn out my shoes twice by running around everywhere,
and I couldn't even find a single person to help us!
I may just be a lawyer,
and even if my client is sentenced to death,
it should be of no importance to me.
I can just walk away with ease,
but you end up losing your life.
Will you do me one last favor?
Sure.
Please bring my ashes to my wife.
I know she will be devastated.
She's waited for me all these years,
only to find out that I'll never return.
And, my daughter...
I don't know if she'll even remember me.
I'd rather she didn't...
I haven't finished with your case yet! We still have 5 days!
I will appeal!
Of course I'll support him!
Pang Shi! What are you talking about?!
Hello?
Miss Lam...
Susie?! Without your testimony, Lau Shing will die!
Brother Lau will die because of you! He's been given a death sentence!
How can it be so soon?! I have 5 days to appeal!
It's too late. The beheading is tomorrow!
Hello? Susie??
Fong Lik? Now listen to me good.
I must save Lau Shing!
Take a puff. It'll do you good.
If you want to see your wife and daughter again,
then you must listen carefully to what the executor says.
"EXECUTE"
Prisoner! Lower your head!
Lau Shing, kneel and kowtow in devotion!
Silently recite the location of your home village!
Lung Ping Village, Kwai Fa Lane, Lau's residence...
In 49 days; return home to reunite with your family!
Lung Ping Village, Kwai Fa Lane, Lau's residence...
When I say run, you run,
and don't look back!
Run!!
Lung Ping Village... Lung Ping Village...
Lau Shing!
You dare come to see me?!
Why not?
You were able to escape because of me!
Forget it!
You said you were going to appeal! Where were you?
You almost cost me my life!
I couldn't help it! I couldn't get to court!
I almost died myself!
You didn't want to help me at all!
I didn't want to help you?
You wouldn't be here now if I hadn't bribed all the guards!
I'm a lawyer and I've broken the law!
I even left my father behind to escape with you!
How ungrateful of you!
You should've just gone to Hell and be a headless ghost!
I hurt my head and lay in a coma for days because of you!
I should've stayed in a coma longer. Then I don't have to save you!
I'm sorry.
Thank you.
Just forget it. Get changed.
Your hometown is really spooky!
It's the Ghost Festival today.
"LAU'S RESlDENCE"
Something's over there!
"Flying and flying, butterflies' are playing.
Dad is working hard and his sweat keeps falling."
Can you hear it?
"Moon is bright and dad has a wish.
My love for you will never perish.
Moon is bright and dad has a wish..."
Ling Gi?
Are you Ling Gi?
Ling Gi...
Ling Gi...Are you really Ling Gi?
Don't be scared. I'm your daddy.
"Flying and flying, butterflies' are playing.
Dad is working hard and his sweat keeps falling.
Moon is bright and dad has a wish.
My love for you will never perish."
Daddy!
Ling Gi...
Daddy...
Ling Gi...
Where's mommy?
Who are you?
I'm Lam Siu Chin, but you can call me Sister Siu Chin.
Why are you following my dad around?
Because I'm your dad's lawyer.
Then when are you leaving?
That's a lovely doll you have there.
When I was little, I had a doll that looked just like yours,
but then a dog bit on it, and the whole head came off.
I cried for days and days!
You mean like this?
Can't sleep?
I can tell you a bedtime story.
Well then, be good and go to sleep. I'll blow out the candle for you.
Don't!
Are you scared of the dark?
Don't you dare blow out my candle!
Where is the jade pendant I gave you?
That bastard!
I didn't write these letters!
Not only did Pang Shi embezzle all the funds,
he even imitated my handwriting to deceive you!
I never hurt my right arm, so why would I use my left hand to write these letters?
My business never failed!
This was all Pang Shi's handiwork!
He deceived you into selling all our assets!
Help!
Daddy, come here!
Help me, Daddy! Come here!
Who put out my candle?
Help! Daddy! Help!
Who put out my candle? Help!!
What's wrong, Ling Gi? Bad Dreams?
Daddy! You disappeared again!
But Daddy's right here!
Silly girl!
Ling Gi? Did you have a bad dream?
Go away! I don't want you here!
Ling Gi, why are you so rude?
She blew out my candle!
It wasn't me. It's the wind...
Go to sleep, Ling Gi. Be good.
Sorry. My daughter was born a little prematurely,
so she's had breathing difficulties since she was small and prone to asthma.
That's why I mixed powdered rhinoceros horn into the candles
to ease her breathing while she sleeps.
Be a good girl, Ling Gi. Go to sleep.
"LAU'S RESlDENCE"
You dare to commit embezzlement,
and you have the guts to commit arson.
Looks like you also dare to owe us your gambling debts.
So you won't pay, huh?
Tell me!
Give him a break.
I have the money... Just let me go back to my village!
Do you need help?
Wow! It's so beautiful up here!
I've never climbed so high before!
Do you come up here to look at the view often?
Before, I used to think this view is beautiful,
but now I have no feelings towards it.
That's only because your emotions are different now.
I used to be a physician.
Now, I'm just a fugitive down on my luck.
What's that? A seashell?
This is the horn of a rhinoceros.
We physicians carry one with us all the time.
What do you use it for?
Give me your hand.
You can use it to massage pressure points,
and scrape out toxins from the skin.
Folklore has it that you can see ghosts when you light it up.
And, it goes well with wine too.
I want some!
That's not water, you know!
Why are you laughing at me? I'm not drunk!
You know what else you can use the horn for?
You can... pretend to be a rhinoceros!
And you can open another hole here and use it as a telescope.
And, if you hang it up,
and whenever there's a wind, it'd make beautiful sounds!
I really like it. Can I have it?
How come there are words on it?
Wai carved the words there herself.
Life is so strange.
Two people can be total strangers
and also go through life and death together.
I guess that's fate.
"Fate draws, be it a thousand miles apart. An eldritch flame links us, heart to heart".
Actually, the second verse is, "Without fate, we pass without meeting".
The correct verse before "An eldritch flame links us, heart to heart"
should be "Unlike the phoenix, we fly not wing-to-wing".
Really?
You're drunk.
I'm not.
I studied abroad. If I'm really drunk, then I'll start talking in English.
I love you.
You cannot marry my husband...
What happened?
Wai came over and talked to me!
Wai...
Wai.
I think you really are drunk.
I'm not drunk!
She really did talk to me just now!
Then what did she say to you?
Never mind.
Who are you?
Where's your mother?
Why should I tell you? I don't even know you.
Little girl, you don't have to be afraid of me.
Actually, I know your father.
Are you here all by yourself?
I don't know you. I'm not telling you!
Has your father come back to see you?
I don't know you. Go away!
Go away!!
Lau Shing!
There's no one else here!
Lau Shing, where are you?
You can't hide!
Daddy!!!
You've seen your daddy, little girl, haven't you?
If you have, then give this to him next time.
This is where I live. Tell him to look for me here.
Or he won't stand a chance.
You really don't know who that man was yesterday?
No, but he looks familiar.
I suspect he is a constable from the capital.
The police are coming here.
You better go straight home after I leave.
Find a place to hide if you have to.
What are you going to do once you're back at the capital?
I'll use the letters Pang Shi forged in your name as evidence
to prove he's been swindling money from you and lying through his teeth!
Then, I'll do my best to find Susie,
because she's the only eyewitness.
And I'll go back to the warehouse to see if there are any more clues.
Don't worry. I'll come back for you once I have any news.
Do you have money or not?
Of course.
Then go get it!!
Sure, but let me go home first, Brother Foo.
Move!
Watch out! What are you doing?!
Burning his own village brothers to death like that!
Chung!
We have been working for his family for years.
I never imagined young master would do this.
Killing his fellow brothers in a fire.
Pang Shi, You bastard!!
Why did he have to murder Ngau too?
Pang Shi! You shut up!!
He was the one who started the fire!!
Ngau, you had such a horrible death!
My son... I miss you so much...
Prisoner! Lower your head!
Lau Shing, kneel and kowtow in devotion!
Silently recite the location of your home village!
Lung Ping Village, Kwai Fa Lane, Lau's residence...
In 49 days, return home to reunite with your family!
Life's unfinished matters will be made up after death!
When I say run, you run,
and don't look back!
Run!!
Don't worry, ladies.
I'll help you arrange for their funerals.
"LAU SHlNG"
I was the one who cut off your head.
Did you know I was innocent?
There are 99 names on this spirit-summoning banner.
A good number of them may be innocent,
just like you.
And you still cut off their heads?
My family have been executioners for 5 generations.
I was simply doing my job.
It is not up to me to choose whom I kill.
All I know is that, according to our ancestral rule,
I cannot kill more than 1 00.
So I am the 99th?
Yes. This is karma.
You've already cut off my head. What more do you want from me?
I removed your spirit on the first slash
and I destroyed your body on the second.
Now I've come here to ease your passing into the after life.
So I am now a ghost?
"The spirit before withers, but before the arrival of the spirit thereafter,
the intermediate spirit appears."
For the first 49 days after a person dies, he becomes an "intermediate spirit".
After these final 7 days have passed, I will ease your passing from this earth.
Then I can put away my blade and retire for good.
And what if I don't go?
The "intermediate spirit" dies a death every 7 days.
After 7 such deaths, it must depart.
Otherwise, it will turn into a lost spirit,
condemned to endlessly relive the moment of its death.
Then where will I be going?
"Men have thousand considerations, but heaven only has one".
Good people will have a paradise to go to.
Everything is up to heaven.
7 days from now, on the hour before sunrise,
go to the temple, and from there you'll be shown the way.
So I've only got 7 days left?
These last 7 days you stay in the mortal world
will also be the most difficult ones.
Your spirit will leave your body,
and your head and body will also be separated.
Wai.
Wai, why won't you talk to me?
I still haven't done so many things that I've promised you.
You have to give me a chance.
Another day is gone once the sun goes down.
Now I finally realize that there's a time limit for everything,
including love.
I want to love, but I can't anymore.
7 days. I only have 7 days left.
Wai, please. Please get better.
Ling Gi, if the white color on mommy's nails starts fading away,
then give her this dose of medicine.
You have to remember:
"Almond, red flower and yellow grass,
steamed in wine for wounds and bruises".
Ling Gi!
Pay attention!
You'll have to take care of yourself and mommy after I'm gone!
Did you hear what I said??
What is it?
Dad!
You're awake!
Perfect, you're all here.
Susie didn't disappear. She's dead!
You're really something! None of us have been able to find her,
and you know she's dead simply by lying there!
It was just a dream, silly!
It was not a dream!
It was, and a very long one too!
You've been in a coma for 45 days!
What do you mean, 45 days?
You fell into a pothole.
Chat saw you and brought you back.
You've been unconscious until now. It had to be a dream!
It wasn't just a dream.
It was a nightmare!
It was not a dream!
Careful.
Open the urn and you'll see if I was dreaming or not!
How can a whole person fit into such a small urn?!
Cut the nonsense.
We'll find out when we open it!
I've already seen it. I'll wait outside.
Go! What a coward!
Get up there!
It's empty!
Nothing in there!
GHOST!!!
Oh my God!!
It's too horrible!
So I wasn't dreaming, was l?
I understand now! Your spirit left your body!
Impossible!
I've been spending the past month with Lau Shing!
He's a ghost now.
Ghosts and spirits, they're all the same. No wonder you two were together!
So you've been seeing a ghost!
Will I see Lau Shing again?
When was he executed?
July 13th.
Today's already August 28th!
On the 49th day of his death, he will...
--That means... --There're only 2 days left.
Only 2 days left?!
Took you forever just to get us some wine!
Coming...
You're no better than a begger living in a shithole like this!
Sure.
So where's the money??
I'll pay you once I get the title deed and sell the other house.
That only covers the interest! What about the principal?
Yeah! What about the principal??
Looks like you'll have to sell this one too!
Just sell it!
But Brother Foo, I don't owe you that much!
I say you do!
I'll calculate the sum however I want!
You loser!
In my eyes, you're less than a dog!
Go on, eat it!
So you want me to sell my house?
I used to sell medicine, remember?
Ling Gi?
Ling Gi!
Daddy...
I told you to watch the fire and you fell sleep!
All the medicine is evaporated now!
Tell me, what do I have to do to make you listen?!
How many times had I told you?
You'll have to take care of mommy when I am gone.
Don't you want mommy to get better?
So you still won't admit you're wrong?!
I have to punish you!
Daddy, don't hit me...
Why are all the herbs on the floor?
You didn't even make medicine for mommy?!
So that's why mommy has been sick for long!
I must give you a beating!
Daddy, don't hit me! Daddy!!
Ling Gi! Ling Gi!
I won't hit you now. Come out!
Ling Gi?
Ling Gi!
Ling Gi, come out here.
Don't bite my mommy!!
Go away!! Don't bite my mommy!!
Go away! Go away!!
Ling Gi! Don't be scared.
This is for you.
Wai...
Mommy had already killed herself
a few days before you came back!
Daddy, I knew...
That day... when you came back...
I knew you were already dead too!
Ling Gi? Are you Ling Gi?
I was so scared,
because I could only see you
in places where the candles were lit,
just like how I see mommy.
Ling Gi? Are you Ling Gi?
Madam Lau?
It's me, Shi.
Pang Shi.
Madam Lau?
Ling Gi?
Daddy!
Daddy?
Daddy! Where are you?
Help! Help me, daddy!!
Ling Gi, do you know what a title deed is?
You've grown so tall now.
Don't you remember your Uncle Shi?
It hurts!
Don't cry.
That title deed is very important.
How can you forget where you put it?
Let go of me!!
Do you remember it now?
Stop!!
No...
Don't cry now. Crying will only make you look ugly.
Use your brains and think!
It hurts!
Stop wasting my time!!
Stop! Shi, please!
Shi!! Ling Gi, just tell him!
--TELL ME!! --Ling Gi!!
Where is the title deed??
Uncle! No!!
Ling Gi! Get up, Ling Gi!!
Ling Gi!! Run, Ling Gi!!
Where is your father?
You'll see him once you light the candle.
Where is the candle?
In the front yard.
Light the candle! Hurry!!
Don't force me. I hate hitting women.
Pang Shi! Why did you do it?? What have I done??
You've killed so many already.
Aren't you afraid that you'll be going to hell??
Then I'll take your daughter with me there!
Let's light the candle so we can see your daddy.
Ling Gi!
NO!!
Too bad I can't kill anymore. Otherwise I would've killed you!
Go back with me to the capital so I can see
your head fall to the ground with my own eyes!
Come with me!
Daddy is gone!
Any candles left?
We're all out! All out!!
Lau Shing!
Lau Shing!!
He won't make it. There's only an hour left.
Daddy!! Daddy!!
Lau Shing! Lau Shing!!
--Lau Shing! Lau Shing! --Daddy! Daddy!
Lau Shing!
--Lau Shing!! --Daddy!!
Lau Shing!
Daddy!
Can you not go?
I can't. Chun Bo had told me
that if I don't go, then my spirit will become lost
and I'll be trapped forever.
Daddy, where are you going?
I'm going to look for mommy.
Take me with you to see mommy.
It's not your time yet. You still have many days ahead of you.
But one day,
we'll all be together again, I promise.
You're wrong.
Those who committed suicide will be condemned to hell
with no chance of reincarnation.
You have accumulated virtue in your life, so you may reincarnated in human form,
but you will never see your wife again.
It is time, Lau Shing. You have to go.
Daddy, don't go. I beg of you! Please don't go!
Siu Chin, I know I've owed you so much.
But will you do one last thing for me?
Don't worry, I'll take good care of Ling Gi for you.
Chun Bo, thank you.
I've decided. I'm still going to find Wai.
Ling Gi, you have to be good to Sister Siu Chin,
or daddy will get worried.
Okay?
Thank you, Siu Chin.
Daddy! Daddy!!
Lau Shing!!
