Silk Page #2

any energy...

so he's afraid of going out.

So you've caught a ghost.

But why am I here?

I want you to find out

who he is...

when he died...

why he died...

and where his body is buried?

I refuse to take the job.

Find someone else.

Answer me.

You don't know what to say because

you have no reason to refuse.

What about your mother?

What are you going to do

with her?

Do you have the right

to keep her alive like that?

How do you know

she doesn't want to die?

Am I wrong?

How do you know that

dying isn't better than living?

Let me remind you.

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

is hereditary.

Don't bring my mother into this.

Aren't you going to

the concert?

My little sister went to the concert, so

there's no one to deliver the flowers.

And I want to visit your mom.

So I came instead.

Thanks.

And you?

How was your day?

Nothing special.

How is she doing?

Not bad.

We had a long talk

mostly about you.

My mom's been like this for a while.

She can't talk.

When girls talk

we don't always have to speak.

So what did she tell you?

It's a secret.

Did mom say she hates me?

Because these past few years,

I've let her suffer.

Tung.

Did she ask you

why I'm torturing her like this?

Did she say she just wants to die

so that she can escape from this pain?

Tung.

She's your mother.

What do you want her to say?

Tell you that

"I've ruined your life?"

"Let me go."

"Let me go

so that you can be free."

Is that what you want?

What she really wants to say is...

she wants you to be happy.

I'm leaving.

I still love her.

No.

I don't think she would accept.

If she says yes...

will you open your eyes?

Run!

Wait for me!

I've interviewed all the past residents

and the police.

Store owners and teachers

in the area.

Even the breakfast vendor.

Nobody knows him.

Good morning.

Here is the coffee.

- What about the landlord?

- Landlord?

The landlord died 3 years ago

His descendants live overseas.

Even so this place has gone through

a dozen owners and residents.

No one knows the kid.

He's talking again.

What is he saying?

The window is broken.

He said,

"the window is broken."

You've come to work.

Hashimoto!

Let him do it.

He's the expert.

Before I get started, there's

something I need to know.

Is he dangerous?

What do you mean?

Ghosts in horror films usually kill.

If you're scared then leave.

Su.

Am I wrong?

It's just following a kid.

Anyone can do it.

You haven't answered

my question.

There was a foreigner who spent

one night with him and died.

His name is James Carmen,

Canadian, 45-year-old.

He's hired as photographer.

How did you know

where to send him?

Wherever there are rumors of ghosts,

we send him.

We've send him to Japan, New Zealand,

Zimbabwe and London.

Ends up we find one right here

in Taipei.

If it wasn't heart failure...

could he have been scared

to death?

It's not that easy

to be scared to death.

Do we need to magnify it

on the computer?

No.

What are you doing?

Hey!

What exactly are you doing?

The body has already

been examined.

I want to take a look at

his heart.

Look.

If this is the thumb...

and these are

the other four fingers...

looking at the size,

doesn't it look like a child's hand?

It does.

Su.

What are you doing?

That night...

after looking at this picture...

the photographer

must have felt strange.

Why is there a child?

So...

He turned.

Looked at that corner.

Could it be...

that the child doesn't like

to be stared at?

Su.

Where is the child?

I let him go.

This research means

too much to you.

You won't let him go.

You know this,

why are you stopping me?

I wasted four years of my life,

with a cripple like you.

We finally gave some results.

And you bring in an outsider!

I don't want to argue with you.

Where is the child?

I don't know.

Let me out!

Why is Su inside?

Where's the child?

What?

What are you saying?

What are you talking about?

Su.

We can let you out.

But you need to

take off your clothes.

What do you mean?

Open up your coat.

Want to see more?

Is this enough?

The child is a form of energy.

Energy can expand and shrink.

You sprayed Menger Sponge

on the newspaper...

and wrapped the kid

in your pocket.

Didn't you?

Let's see your pockets.

He's gone.

Su.

Listen to me, don't move.

- What's wrong?

- Listen carefully.

Whatever you do,

don't turn your head to the left.

Do not turn your head.

Why can't I turn left?

That strand of silk!

Where?

- What're you talking about?

- Did you see that? I

No.

His hand.

His hand is solidifying.

Hurry! Open the door

Hurry!

When you die...

your energy can only last

for a short period.

And then it disappears forever.

No matter how much

you love the world...

or how much

the world loves you.

Why doesn't he disappear?

I want you to find the answer.

Mom!

Mom...

Mom, do you really want to go?

To be free?

Precisely on time.

It's 4:
30 p.m.

The eye drop from this bottle

will last the whole day...

but bring another one,

just in case.

I've saved all our numbers inside.

Keep in touch.

Why are you bringing a gun?

Stop! Stop!

Are you crazy?

This is dangerous.

Do you want to die?

He was waiting to take this bus.

Does it mean he's conscious?

No. We call this Inertia.

Inertia?

Yes. He's just repeating

the daily routine of his old life.

Even though he is dead...

his energy keeps on living

the patterns of his previous life.

CHILD - SU

SILK:

Silk is the connection

between two energies.

Hey, ticket?

CHI LI:

SCHOOL OF SPECIAL EDUCATION

Check out Chi Li School

of Special Education.

He might have studied here.

GRADE 3 CLASS 6

STUDENT PICK-UP AREA

Mom.

The daylilies are in bloom.

Daylilies?

Daylilies?

No one will ever

pick him up again.

Does he get hungry?

Does he have to eat?

No. He doesn't need to eat.

But we don't know

where he gets his energy either.

Why ask?

Because I am hungry.

One order please.

I'm getting something to eat.

Want anything?

- I'll go sign in first, be right back.

- Okay.

Now we know which school he went to,

finding out who he is should be easy.

And next we're going to find out

how he became a ghost.

Why is it important to you

how he became a ghost?

Only someone who understands death

can truly confront death.

ENERGY, FACIAL DISORDER,

HATRED, BURIAL LOCATION?

Damn it!

Ren!

- What's going on?

- He raised his hands!

He's about to attack someone.

What should I do?

Try to distract him.

How?

- How?

- I don't know!

Spray your bullets with

Menger Sponge and shoot him.

You!

Get out of there!

Hurry!

Don't move!

Drop your gun!

Drop it!

How dare you shot a police!

No matter what,

don't look into his eyes.

He'll see you

if you look at him.

You shot a police!

Drop your gun!

Now!

- Cuff him.

- Drop your gun!

Get down.

Get down.

He's back!

Don't you think he's wonderful?

He will never grow old and die.

He is free from agony.

Don't have

any responsibilities.

No puberty,
