Who puts off my candle,,,

Help! Dad,,, come here!

Who puts off my candle,,,

Ling Gi, what's wrong? Bad Dream?

Daddy! Don't disappear!

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. The wind,,,

Go to sleep, Ling Gi. Good girl.

Please don't mind.|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 candles.

to ease her breathing while she sleeps,

Good girl. Go to sleep, Ling Gi.

(Lau's Residence )

Peculated public funds? Dare you!

You dare to set fire,

You dare to owe the money lost in gambling,

Anything else?

Go tell me!

Hold him up.

I've got money...|Just let me go back to my village!

Would you like some help?

Wow! It's so beautiful!

I've never climbed so high before!

Do you come out here often to look at the view?

I used to think it was beautiful before,

but now I've lost all feeling about 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.

I s that a seashell?

This is the horn of a rhinoceros.

We physicians often carry one around with.

How to use it?

Please show your hands,

Apart from massaging pressure points,

it can also be used to scrape out toxins,

It's heard you'll see ghosts|when you light it up,

And it goes quite well with medicine, too!

I'd like some "medicine" too!

Wow! It's not water. you know.|Mind you don't get drunk!,

Why are you laughing at me? I'm not drunk!

I've even thought of what else|you can use the horn for!

See? You can use it to pretend|to be a rhinoceros!

And you can open another hole here|and use it as a telescope!

And,,, you hang it up,

and whenever there's a wind.|it'd make beautiful sounds!

Why don't you give it to me? I love it!

What's written here?

Wai had those words carved on it,

Life's so strange.

Two people can be total|strangers there whole lives.

or go through life and death together,

This is what we called karma.

That's called "be it a thousand miles apart,|fate draws you together;|an eldritch flame links us, heart to hear. "

The poem goes "be it a thousand miles apart,|fate draws you together; without fate,|you pass by without meeting",

The verse before "an eldritch flame links us|heart to heart" should be "unlike the phoenix.|we fly not wing-to-wing".

I s that?

You're drunk.

No, I'm not!

I studied abroad, If I'm really drunk.|I'll start talking in English!

I love you,

My husband can't marry you,

What's the matter?

Wai talked to me!

Wai,,,

Wai,

Are you drunk?

I'm not drunk!

It's true! She really did talk to me!

Then what did she say?

It's fine now,

Who are you?

Where's your mother?

I don't know you. Why talk to you?

Girl. don't be scared of me.

Actually, I know your father.

Are you all alone in the house?

I don't know you. Why talk to you?

Has your father come back?

I don't know you. Get away.

Go away!

Lau Shing!

Nobody inside,

Lau Shing. where are you?

You can't hide!

Daddy!

You've seen your daddy. haven't you?

If you see your father.

tell him to come look for me.

Otherwise, he doesn't have a chance!

You really don't know the one|who met you yesterday?

Sure, But he looks familiar.

I doubt if he is the police|from the provincial capital,

The police have come.

you better go straight home after|I board the boat,

Hide somewhere if necessary,

What do you want to do|when you're back to the capital?

I'll use the letters forged by Pang Shi|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 locate Susie.

because she's the only eyewitness|in your case,

Then I'll go to the warehouse to see|if there are any clues.

Don't worry,|I must be back once I have news.

Do you have money, anyway?

Yes, I have,

Go take it out!

Yes, Let me go home first, Brother Foo,

Go!

Watch out! What are you doing?

Burning his own village brothers|to death like that!

Ah Chung...

We have been working for them for years.

I can never imagine young master would

burn his village brothers all of a sudden,

Pang Shi, You bastard!

Why did he have to murder Ah Ngau?

Pang Shi, You shut up!

He was the one who started the fire!

Ah Ngau, you had a miserable death...

I miss you so much,,,

Offender. bend 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,,,

I n 7 times 7 of 49 days:|return home to reunion with your family.

What is insufficient in life|will be made up after death,

When I say run, you run.

and don't look back!,

Run!

Don't worry, wife of C hung. mother of Ah Ngau.

I'll carry out their funerals,

Lau Shing.

I was the one who took your head,

Did you know I was innocent?

There are 99 names on this|"spirit-summoning banner".

A good number of them may have been innocent.|just like you.

Innocent.

And you still took their heads?

We Chun family have been executioners|for 5 generations,

I was simply doing my job.

It is not up to me whom I kill.

All I know is. by our ancestral rule.

I cannot kill more than 1 00.

I am the 99th?

Yes! This is our karma.

You've already taken my head.|What more do you want of me?

The 1st slash, I'll remove your spirit.

The 2nd slash. I'll destroy your body,

I am here to ease your passing into the next life,

Am I not already a ghost?

It is said:
"After he withering of the shadow|before. but before the arrival of the shadow there|after. the intermediate shadow appears. "

For 7 times 7 or 49 days after a person's death.|he becomes an "intermediate shadow",

After the final 7 days have passed,|I will ease your passing from this earth,

after which I shall put away|my blade and withdraw from the world,

And if I don't go?

The "intermediate shadow"|dies a death every 7 days.

After 7 such deaths. it must depart.

Otherwise, it will turn into a lost spirit

that is condemned to endlessly|relive the moment of its death,

Then where will I be going?

"Men have thousand considerations.|but the heaven only has one".

Good people have a paradise they can go to.

Everything is up to the heaven,

At the end of 7 days.|in 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 are the last 7|days you stay in the world,

and are the most difficult ones.

Your spirit is out of your body,

and your head and body will be apart,

Wai,

Wai, why don't you answer me?

So many things|I promised you still haven't been done!

You have to give me a chance,,,

Once the sun goes down,|another day is gone!

I only realize now that there's a time|limit for everything,,,

including love,

I want to love, but I can't!

we only have 7 days left!

Wai, please, get better!

Ling Gi, if the white color of|your mom's nails fades away...
