Mandy, let me tell you the procedures

Thank you

Excuse me. I have to receive a call

Go on, please

That's OK

Be right back

Mandy, when would you like

to start working?

Any time

What the hell?

Didn't I tell you not to call me today?

Say. It's nothing. Bye

Who's it?

Fiona. She wanna see me

All set?

Yes. All set

Let's go OK

Dine with me next week

Bye Bye

Like it? I've asked the car company

It's out of stock

We have to wait two months

Anyway, I've ordered it for you

Hi, Mandy

Hi What's up?

Excuse me. Talk over there

Wait a moment

Mandy, the research centre

sent me an urgent message

Drive my car back home

I'll take the car of Fiona

See you tonight. Bye

Follow the red car. Quick!

Miss, sorry. Maintenance. No Entry

The lift's over there

Get there to take it

Sorry, miss

Miss, sorry... Did I hurt you?

Sorry. Please take the goods out

I wanna get in

OK...

Miss. Let me take you to the doctor

I'm OK...

No, miss, do you want a security guard?

Hey! Anybody here?

Open the door!

Hello!

Sally

Sally, it was a blackout

Kenny? You...

Hello?

Hello?

Miss Mandy Kwan, how do you do?

Maybe you'd feel weird

Who is this I after all?

That's not important

Cause I'm going to say something

very important to you

Sally!

Sally...

Mandy...

Kenny

What's going on? I'm so worried

Sally, where were you

during the blackout?

There were no blackout

I watched TV at my room

No... there're one!

I shouted to you. Did you hear me?

I didn't hear you shout to me

Sally, go to your room. I'll take over

What's up? Nightmare again?

No! No...

It couldn't be a nightmare

Today afternoon...

What's wrong in the afternoon?

Nothing

Why didn't you ask your hubby...

what he did with Fiona

that day afternoon?

I couldn't ask that

I don't want Kenny know

that I tailed him

He'd be not happy

Mandy

Sally's in her room

Only you and I are here

Tell me. What's just happened?

I was waiting for you here

Suddenly, there was a blackout

I don't know why

there came a queer

calling but no one spoke

Then the TV set played the DVD by itself

Let me show you the DVD. See

A man in this DVD spoke to me...

I don't know what he was talking about!

Where's the DVD? It's gone?

It was over there!

Yes. I've put the DVD here

Trust me

What DVD? Is it important?

It's the man in the DVD who spoke to me!

I... Mandy

Mandy... You must trust me!

Mandy!

Calm down, please?

I'm scared...

I'm scared still

I don't know where it went

Don't be scared

Why don't you go to bed?

I'm scared still

Why? Tell me

I fear that you'd... have another woman

And...

I fear that I'd no longer

be myself suddenly

Everything's OK. Don't think that

Listen. Go to bed early

I'll take you to the doctor

What doctor?

My good friend Dr. Chow

He's a psychologist

You think I'm psychotic?

No. I don't mean that

You do!

Do you know I'm so worried today?

See Dr. Chow

Forget that he's a doctor

Take him as a friend

I'm worry about you. Be good. OK?

OK, I'll see Dr. Chow tomorrow

Don't go with me. Cause...

I don't wanna bother your work

Don't be like that

I'm worried if you go alone

You really think that I'm psychotic?

Of course not

Don't worry. I'm fine

Got it

Sleep, please

Come in

Mrs. Tang

Hello Hello

Call me Mandy Mandy

Kenny's called me. Please take a seat

Kenny, your wife's arrived

Don't worry. OK. Bye

I'm so sorry. Kenny told me...

to call him after you'd arrived

As his friend

I couldn't but promise him

And he did it out of the care for you

Make yourself comfortable in your seat

You look very tired. Need a rest?

I'm not tired. Thank you

Tell me your story

What do you want?

Whatever

Tell the story of your childhood

When I was a kid...

I feared to talk with others

Everybody thought that I'm autistic

I grew in an orphanage

No one knew when my birthday was

The nun of the orphanage

gave me the name Mandy Kwan

Before that

no one knew who I was

Someone adopted children

from the orphanage

I recall that there was a kid

He had been called Mickey Cheung

Then, after the adoption

he came to see us

He said he was no longer Mickey Cheung

Cause his adopted dad had changed

his name to William Lam

He left me the phone number

He said when I felt bored

I might call him and chat with him

I remembered his phone number so well

I thought I could keep it

in mind for good

But soon

when I did wanna call him

I found that I'd forgotten it

When did you leave the orphanage?

When did you meet Kenny?

Around 19

He did treat me well

But I had a boyfriend at that time

You're not very happy these days?

Tell me. See if I can help you

I don't wanna say anything

It doesn't matter

Tell me what you wanna say

I think it's enough

I gotta go to the home for the elderly

Go to the home for the elderly?

Yes. I serve as a volunteer for it

OK. Talk to you later

Bye Bye

We've arrived. Get off carefully

Mandy

Granddads and grandmas, uncles and aunts

I bring you a new friend today

Hello, everybody. My name is Mandy Kwan

You may call me Mandy

From now on, we'll often meet

Isn't it good?

Good. Everything's on you now

Thank you

Listen to her

Being a volunteer

in the home for the elderly

I think that I'm very happy

The sadness after watching

the DVD is gone

But I can never figure out

why when I woke up

everyone around me forgot me

Even my hubby took me as someone else

The strangest of all

I've become Fiona for no reason

And Fiona's become me

Only before you, I'm Mandy

So strange?

I don't lie

You don't believe me?

Tell me once more

What did the old man in DVD say?

He said Kenny is in love

with another woman

Your husband'd have another woman

And I'd lose everything

Including your identity and name

If what you said is real

I bet someone plays the tricks

And this guy...

has arranged everything around you

No, my hubby mustn't do that!

I don't mean your hubby

Why do you think that I mean your hubby?

If I can make you out

that means, someone else can

In fact, before I met you

I'd tried to find someone

to prove my identity as Mandy

But after the marriage with my hubby

I seldom contact my friends before

Cause my social contact is few

I don't even go to bank

I do everything on internet

All my friends are Kenny's

Maybe I think too far

I think that your strange encounters

may be linked to the death of my bro

What do you mean?

I've said nothing

Excuse me, miss

Smoking is not allowed here

Sorry. I'll smoke outside

Wait a moment. I smoke outside

Mandy

Mandy?

You're all devils!

Mandy, where are you going?

All want me dead! Mandy...

Don't move

Why am I here?

Miss. Calm down, please

You were in a coma for one day

Cause you've got

no identity evidence with you

we can't inform your family

Where's my friend Candy?

Where's my friend Candy now?

You meant the girl

sent here with you yesterday?

Yes

Sorry. We failed to save her

The cops'll do your testimony soon

I'd like to remind you

that we've checked your body
