Sun then fakes amnesia in order to protect her illegal identity, and is put-up for several nights by Bon. While Sun struggles to find her identity papers in Hong Kong and relatives to take her in, Bon feels compelled to let her stay in his home. However, Sun can only fake her amnesia for so long.

Anything wrong, mom?

I'm choking

Will that work?

Yes, this may be an old wives' tale

But is works everytime

It's your turn?

Keep it up

Hurry

It will work

How is it? Does it work?

Does it work?

It works

Of course it does. Old remedies always work

Let's eat some more

What if we finish all the food?

We can always cook some more

Bon says she's never worked a day in her life

She's even better than I am

I won't live with your mom

when we get married

You haven't

even met her yet

I've asked her many times to come live with me

She has never once agreed

Mom

I have to use the washroom

Terrific

Eating before everyone else again?

This is good mom. Try some

Smart boy. You do know how to pick them

What?

She's such a wonderful girl

You must have taken after your father

Mom was just talking about you

Mom, this is Judy

Auntie

Who is she?

My girlfriend

Then, who's the one in the kitchen?

What kitchen?

Wai Hung

Wai Hung?

Who's this woman?

There's something wrong with her mentally

I don't even know her

She's crazy

I really don't know who she is

She's nuts

How can I be called Wai Hung?

Who is really my daughter-in-law-to-be?

Of course it's this one, mom

Her? Are you sure?

What are you doing?

She's not the real thing, is she?

What real thing?

How you wish?

You've kept this woman here

behind my back?

Who says?

Mrs Ho, you do know how to bring up your son

Teaching him to be a two-timer

Watch it. You might spoil him to death

What's wrong with that?

- His father was a clock repairman

- Right

He could time 1 0 clocks at once if he wanted to

That's right

You can't take it? There's other fish in the sea

Mom, don't say that

I'm talking to your son

You shut up

Ask me to shut up? I'm telling you to ship out

Mom

Judy

Judy, I can explain

I don't know her

She's crazy

Wai Hung, Mrs, how's life?

You spoil everything

What have you got to say now, Wah Hung?

I don't ever want to see you again

Get out

Stand still

I've never interfered

with your life before

But choosing a wife

is a big thing

One must choose careful?

If it's like that Judy,

I won't have it

Kwong Sun

Don't be frightened

As long as I'm here, he can't bully you

Come on in

Mom

Granny, when cousin Wai Hung

& I left for HK

I thought our future was so bright and hopeful

I'd never thought

it would turn out like this

Auntie Wan doesn't want me to stay with her

But I've met this friend

Both him mom and he treated me really well

Wai Hung

My name isn't Wai Hung. I'm a trouble seeker

I hate to bump into you

Can't you leave me alone?

If that's too much to ask, leave my mom alone

Let me warn you, don't get too friendly with her

I'm sorry, I was just talking nonsense just now

Can't leave you alone for a minute

All is well, get some sleep

Let's have breakfast tomorrow before I leave

How's the girl back home?

No thanks to you

If she can't regain her memories ever

You'll have to mind her the rest of her life

Yes, I've got it all figured out for you

It'll cost around $3,000 per month

That much?

Around that

I'll ask you for it on pay day

You're kidding?

Who's kidding?

Look what's happening over there?

Make way. We're the police

- Police.

- Make way

What's going on?

Sir, one of our customers

passed out suddenly

Can you come and check on him?

Calm down, let me take a look

Thanks

Please co-operate and move out of the way

Fine now, go back to work

Sir, will that do?

Of course. I've learnt this from St John's

Can't you people hear me? I said out

It's not working. Sir

His breathing is getting weak

Will mouth to mouth resuscitation work?

I'll give it a try

Thanks

Bad breath

It really stinks

I can't stand it

Get up

What are you doing?

Stop kicking him. He's not well

Get up

What are you trying to do? Kill him?

What is it?

What are you doing?

What?

Get up

Damn it. You sure know how to put one on

Let me go for old times' sake, please

Must you do your act in such lavishing style?

I don't own all the restaurants here you know

I'm broke and there's no informers' fees coming

Get out of my sight

Go

Jerk

Sir, how can you let him go

without paying?

How much did he owe you? I'll pay for him

That's more like it

Just take this money

Still stinks?

This is useless. I must get some insecticide

That guy's mouth is worse than a sewer

Really, you should have told me

he's pretending

Don't want to spoil your enthusiasm

That bum sure is a good actor

He could have me fooled if it's not for you

Honey

Can't you remember what today is?

What? Your birthday?

More important than birthdays

It's our wedding anniversary

For you

Thank you

More coming

Thank you

You're welcome. There's more...

What's this?

Open it

Is this a net?

Negligee

Negligee? For you?

No, for you

I'm not wearing it

You prefer being nude? Fine with me

What are you doing?

Something that'll have a result

in 1 0 months

I can't

You can't? But I can

Come, my darling wife

My mom's not here

We're married. What are you afraid of?

Don't be shy. We're husband and wife

Come on, darling

You don't like it here? We'll go in the bedroom

Come on

Let go of me

Here I come

Please don't. I'm not your wife

Don't treat me as your loving husband

Treat me as an animal

Stop it. I'm really not your wife

Then why do you keep saying you are before?

But I'm really not your wife. I'm not

That I know from the start. Who are you really?

I am sorry

I don't want your apologies. Who are you?

Actually, I'm a stowaway

It's by chance that I bumped into you

I didn't mean to deceive you

You didn't mean to deceive me?

Calling Bon. Wanted at headquarter. Urgent

Be there right away

Bon, please don't arrest me

I'll leave

As a cop, I should have arrested you long ago

But it's our fault that you got injured first

I'll let you off the hook this time

I want you gone

before I come home

Addict Hung is upstairs having treatment

Not putting me on again?

No

Go

Both front and back doors are guarded

But we don't know what's happening upstairs

Send one of our men to go in as a patient

But Hung will recognize all of us

Yes

He has seen me before

Does Hung have 2 big pimples on his nose?

I can't remember

See? Since you can't remember how he looks like

He won't remember you neither

We'll give you a brand new image

Let's go

Can I help you?

I've twisted my spinal cord, I think

Come in and have a seat

Thank you

How did you get this?

Thanks to this book

Those positions can really get you

I think I've hurt my back real bad

Just fill out this registration form

Thanks

Calling station

Only suspect & one woman here

Get our men ready and stand by at the front

Are you the one twisted the spinal cord?

Yes

It's your turn

So soon. Isn't he first?

He's just waiting for someone. Come in

OK:

Crazy

What now?

There may be a lump in my underarms

No problem. I'll just change needles

- Doctor

- Yes?

Actually, I'm. . .

What is it now?

Not only is there a lump in my underarms
