and that is to resolve what

they left unsettled.

The woman Ms Wong keeps seeing

after resuming her sight.

We have to resolve her problems

so that she can move on.

I hope I haven't done

anything wrong.

Even if it's wrong,

it'd be my fault.

And I won't regret it.

Were you reincarnated into

the wrong body?

Why are you so different from...

...the rest of the family?

Be careful.

BANGKOK, THAILAND

Dr. Lo believed you in the end?

Let's just say Dr. Lo

is not involved.

He's a professional after all -

you know what I mean?

Yes.

Are we close?

I'm not sure.

It says here that her

Chinese name was Chiu Wai Ling.

A Thai born Chinese.

Here are her hospital records.

This is Siam-Rach Hospital.

Sl-AM-LA?

This is probably the place.

Let's get off to take a look.

Hi.

This is Siam-Rach Hospital?

Yes. Right

I want to meet a doctor,

his name is Eak.

Please come help.

Can I help you?

I want to meet a doctor

his name is Eak.

You know him?

No

It's there a Doctor name Eak here?

It mentioned here.

It's this hospital, his name is Eak.

He's not here now.

Not here?

Wah!

Wah!

What is it?

This is the place.

What place?

The place I've been having

nightmares about.

Nightmares?

This has to be it!

Doctor Eak!

What's the matter?

You have two visitors.

Mister, this is Dr Eak.

You're Dr. Eak.

Yes.

My name is Wah.

Hello Nice to meet you.

It's her.

After the Cornea operation.

We come over here

to thank the donator's family.

Hope you can give us some detail.

Here is the file.

Are you two from Hong Kong?

You speak Mandarin?

Can you help us?

Sorry.

Sorry, I can't disclose

our hospital records.

This is our hospital policy.

Please understand.

Wait!

We need to see the donor's

family urgently.

Could you perhaps ask them

if they are willing to meet us?

Her family will not be willing

to meet with you.

Who are you to Ling?

Please leave.

Wait!

After I got Ling's corneas,

I started to see things

that she saw!

Ling was a sad and Ionely girl.

All of the villagers stayed

away from her.

Why?

From time to time,

she would weep outside

someone's door.

Afterwards,

a person in that house

would pass away.

So everyone took her

to be a witch...

and always chased her away

when they saw her.

The children treated

her like a monster.

Even I threw stones at her

when I was a kid...

Because none of you could believe

that she foresaw death?

Maybe it was because of fear.

So, do you believe it now?

This is it.

Mrs. Chui, these two friends

are from Hong Kong.

Nobody welcomed Ling.

So she hardly ever set foot

in the village

Yet, on the night of the fire,

many saw her running around

shouting hysterically...

as if talking to herself.

Since everyone detested Ling,

no one paid any attention to her

Some villagers threw water on her

to drive her away.

Around midnight,

a big fire erupted...

and kept burning till noon

the next day.

Among the deceased

300 were burnt beyond recognition.

How exactly did Ling die?

She hanged herself.

Ling killed herself the day

after the big fire.

Is Mrs. Chui all right?

She's fine.

So you too believed that

she wasn't insane,

but that she only saw things

no one else could.

She foresaw a big disaster

and tried to warn everyone,

but no one listened to her.

I don't understand any of this

spiritual stuff.

I just want you two to know that

Ling was a very kind person...

and she had a tough life.

Can I take a look at Ling's room?

Tonight...

...I want to stay here.

I'll take you to Ling's grave

tomorrow morning.

You've been very kind to us,

thank you.

You should go to bed now.

Alright, I'll stay next door.

Shout if anything happens.

I know you've wanted me

to come here all this time.

Well, here I am now.

What do you want to tell me?

... ill-fated... ill-fated...

Hurry... take her to the hospital!

Get lost...

You should be ashamed of yourself...

You are a curse!

Told you not to come here!

She's evil! Don't ever play with her!

Go save him! Save my boy...

Help him... Make him breathe...

What have you done to my boy...

You little b*tch! Go to hell...

She's evil!

Stay away from my house! Get lost!

Be reasonable!

My daughter is only trying to help...

Go away!

Mrs. Chui, I know how to help Ling

let's go upstairs to see her.

Her most painful time was not

in the past,

it's right now!

Since she killed herself,

she's been trapped in a time warp...

constantly repeating her suicide.

She was dead.

How can someone who's dead

die again?

Listen to me,

very soon she'll appear upstairs.

Let's go up to see her!

I won't see her!

I spent my whole life protecting her,

I never once gave up on her,

but she gave up on herself!

For that I can never forgive her!

Just listen,

I'm sure you hear this sound

every night.

Ling died at 3'o clock,

didn't she?

Mrs. Chui, come with me and

you'll understand!

I'm not going upstairs!

Mom...

Help me...

Help me...

Ling?

Help me...

Help me!

Help me... help me...

Is it Ling?

Is it really Ling?

Mom...

Help me...

Ling, you were the one who left me...

you were the one who left me...

Mom...

Help me...

Mom...

Ling, Mommy is coming!

Ling! Ling!

My girl, mommy's right here.

Don't be afraid.

No one can bully you anymore.

Mom, I'm so sorry.

I was wrong.

Please forgive me!

I've already forgiven you.

Mun!

What happened?

Are you alright?

Go that way! Move over...

Hurry! Pull him out!

Careful! Come on keep pulling...

Over there! Move!

Get out!

Get out!

Something's happening,

get out, quick!

Granny, leave your house now!

Leave your house now!

Brother, run for your life!

Get out! Quick! Run!

Get out! Run...

Run! Run for your life!

Run! Run for your life!

Runl A disaster is coming!

Run! Run now!

What's she saying?

Run! Get out!

Mun!

Go, go, go... Move over...

Go, go, go... Move over...

...Listen to me...

Ever since that day,

Ling never appears again.

I hold no resentment towards her...

Since I saw and experienced

the same pain that she did.

But aside from pain

I saw beauty

I no longer question

why am I blind

It is becasue

I've already seen the most beautiful

things in this world.

Things I'll never forget.
