to help out at the centre.

Mr. Cheng,

I really want to take part

in this performance.

I've practiced so long

for this concert!

I understand, but...

Excuse me, Mr. Cheng...

Vanessa Mae's agent

wants us to fax over her schedule.

I'll be with you right away.

Mun, Mun?

Let's discuss this again.

I have to go.

Grandma!

Are you leaving?

Yes, to class.

Come back early for dinner.

I've prepared some special

turnip soup.

Bye!

Have you seen my report card?

Didn't you find it yet?

I really haven't seen it.

Perhaps you should ask someone else.

Ying Ying!

Excuse me, I'd like to talk to her.

Look what I've brought for you?

Sis, I've just had chemo-therapy,

I'll throw up if I eat.

It's OK.

Then we'll save it for when

you get better.

If only we had believed

him just that once

or given him a chance to explain,

he might still be here playing

video games.

Who would have expected

him to jump offjust like that?

Suicide is a dreadful sin.

The souls of those who commit

suicide...

are obliged to repeat their

painful deaths everyday.

To help him break out of this

vicious cycle of pain

we need to tackle the cause

of his suicide.

Only then can his soul leave

this world in peace.

Have you ever considered

he might be telling the truth?

Perhaps he really did lose

his report card.

Have you been teaching

calligraphy long?

Yes, many years indeed.

I'll teach you how to hold

the brush...

Use your big thumb and

middle finger

and form a circle just like this...

Like this, try.

Very few want to learn

calligraphy nowadays.

I used to teach 3 lessons a week.

Now, it's down to only one.

I'll let you try writing by yourself.

Try it yourself.

Why are you sitting in my chair?

Why are you sitting in my chair?!

What is this?

What is going on?

What are you looking for?

Are you okay?

What happened?

Are you feeling unwell?

Is Dr. Lo here?

Ms. Wong, you are early.

Your next appointment isn't

until Friday.

He won't be back from his meeting

until 5 p.m.

Will he definitely be here

at 5 p.m.?

If it's urgent,

I can page him for you now.

I'll be back at 5.

You can see them, too?

They don't usually want to be seen.

But you'll get used to it.

All the stores nearby have

been bought up,

only my boss refuses to sell.

He seems to be expecting his wife

and child to visit.

Actually, he can't see them at all.

There was a car accident

over there...

Mun!

My secretary said you were

asking for me.

What's the matter?

Will you help me?

Of course I will.

Your eyes hurt?

Will you believe me?

Yes...

What is it?

The shadows... they come

to bring the dead.

What shadow?

When I was at the hospital...

I saw a man.

He... he took an old lady with him.

The next morning, the old lady

was dead...

My room keeps changing

suddenly into a different room...

I even saw a person missing

her lower body...

When he rushed over, it was like

an electric shock.

My whole body went numb...

Calm down

And tell me slowly.

When I was little...

Granny told me...

I was not an ordinary child.

God had given me some obstacles...

so that I would grow up

to be an extraordinary person.

Now I understand

what it means to be extraordinary.

An extraordinary person

can see things others can't...

and feel pain that others won't feel.

Maybe, I was never meant

to see this world.

I don't want to terrified

in bed every night...

I don't want to terrified

in bed every night...

then awaken horrors every morning.

I just want to be an ordinary person.

Dr. Lo, can you help me?

Yes, of course I will.

One of my psychology professors...

from the States...

has just come to Hong Kong to visit.

Let's meet him tomorrow.

He might be able to help.

How can you help me when

you don't believe me?

What's going on?

Excuse me, I have to go.

Call me if you need anything.

Goodbye.

Who's that?

A friend.

He asked your sister to take

something to States.

Yes, that's right.

You are home early.

Aren't you supposed to be

back next week?

Well...

a co-worker switched her

shift with mine.

So I come back a bit earlier

It's smoky here

Why don't you go up?

14TH FLOOR, UNIT-C.

Have you seen my report card?

Stop asking me?! I've already

told you I haven't seen it!

Have you seen my report card?

15TH FLOOR, UNIT-C.

Uncle, listen to me...

No way!

Only you can help us with this!

I've already said no!

If you still respect

me as your uncle,

and respect yourself as my nephew,

you should have never approached

me with this!

First of all

You should know only too well...

what medical ethics are regarding

organ transplant.

And you should also know that...

the identity of the cornea donor

is concealed from me.

What shadow?

One cornea transplant and she starts

seeing ghosts?

You actually believe that?

What if I do?

Then we have even less to talk about!

Uncle...

Don't tell me you fell for your

own patient.

Hello?

Dr. Lo, is that you?

Mun is in trouble!

Can you come over immediately?

Yes, right away.

Yes, I admit.

She's more than a patient to me.

Mun!

How long do you plan on hiding

in this little room?

Five years? Seven? Or ten?

You have to confront your problem

sooner or later.

You want to play violin?

Go play with the troupe!

I can accept you pretending

to be blind.

But even then

then you didn't isolate

yourself here.

I just want to help.

Mun!

Sis.

Ying Ying, what are you doing here?

I can leave the hospital now.

You can?

Yes, I don't need any

more operations.

I can go to school now.

So...

Then once I am out of here,

we can go out...

we can take pictures, we can even...

I'm so happy that you can see now,

because this world is really

beautiful.

Ying Ying...

It's alright! Cheer up.

Be strong and things will work

out for the best.

I have to go now.

Ying Ying!

Wong Kar Mun, I want to tell you...

Ying Ying has already...

I know... I just saw her.

I know she's dead.

What are you looking at?

Ying Ying.

Can you see her?

It wasn't her.

Don't know why she didn't

show up today.

Are you not afraid anymore?

I don't think I have a choice.

I see all these things anyway.

At least, I get to see the people

I care about.

What's this?

Ying Ying made this for you.

What's written on it?

Don't forget me.

She put in the wrong photo though.

Who's this?

It's you!

Don't you recognize yourself yet?

What is going on?

Who are you?

Who the hell are you?!

We believe that the very last

consciousness of a mortal

carries over to the afterlife.

That is the very thought of a person

in his final moment...

would become the eternal

consciousness of his soul.

Those who die a sudden death

have no recollection

of the instance of death.

Their souls remain in this world

as if they're still alive.

But there are others

who intentionally refuse to leave

mostly due to unresolved

problems during their lifetime.

These souls can't be consoled

while their problems remain.

There is only one way to help them,
