Silk Page #4

Synopsis: In Taipei, the crippled scientist Hashimoto uses his invention of "Menger Sponge" to capture the energy of the spirit of a child in an old building. He invites the specialist in reading lips, Detective Tung, to join his research team that is studying the phenomenon to understand the movements of the lips of the ghost. Hashimoto is trying to disclose why the energy of the ghost does not dissipate, and Tung discovers the identity and the dramatic story of the boy. He was sick with tumors and was killed by his own mother and buried nearby a nuclear plant. Hashimoto deduces that the rage of the boy for his mother associated to the location where the body was buried were the reason to keep the energy. When the government decides to shutdown the research, Hashimoto becomes insane and takes the spirit with him.

Did you hear me? Mei?

Mei!

Director...

Director.

Director.

Director.

Director.

Director.

You want to know...

what it takes to stand on the ceiling

like this and talk to you?

What does it take?

Well, first you have to have

a strong sense of hate.

Next, you have to want to die.

Finally, you have to die

in the right place.

Since I was a child, living has never

had much meaning for me.

I've wanted to die every day.

Now I know the location of

where I should die.

The only thing I'm not sure of is

if I have enough hate.

That's why I came

looking for you.

Do you understand?

Now I just want to make sure

I have enough hate toward you.

- Wait.

- You see this?

A total of 744 times.

Every time you called me a cripple.

I pressed the button on this counter.

Tung.

Wei, don't say a word

and listen.

Wei, do you trust me?

Yes.

Okay.

Do what I tell you.

Don't move and

don't ask any questions.

Now take a step to your left.

A little more.

Good. Stop.

Now close your eyes.

Listen carefully.

No matter what you hear

and no matter what happens...

don't open your eyes.

Yes.

- Tung.

- Don't be afraid. Trust me.

Hashimoto.

Where are you?

I'm walking on the path

towards eternal release.

Mei is dead.

Yao's mother killed her.

Listen to me.

Chun is searching for her son.

You have to let Yao go.

Tung.

Everyone will eventually die.

It is important that...

at that moment to taste death

and experience it completely.

Don't run away from it.

Let the child go!

If you know how peaceful

and beautiful the afterlife really is...

you wouldn't say that.

Tung.

I'll see you in the next life.

Hashimoto.

Hashimoto.

Sh*t!

Get out!

I don't have to

ever envy you again.

So this is what I'll look like

when I die.

Tung.

Yes, it's me.

What is going on?

It's very difficult

to explain right now.

Are you okay?

How about you?

Are you okay?

Not bad.

Same as usual.

This afternoon...

your mom went into surgery

to remove a blood clot in her brain.

The doctor said

tonight is critical.

I know that you can't

let go of your mother.

She means the world to you.

But if she leaves,

you'll have to face your own life.

What will you do then?

Both your mom and I,

we all want you to live happily.

Wei.

I have a favor to ask of you.

Will you please see

my mother tomorrow?

And tell her...

that I just want her to live on.

Ask her not to hate me.

And ask her not to forget

that she had a son in this world.

Tung.

Tung.

I just want to go on

living with you...

and really enjoy each day.

I love you,

but that doesn't make you happy.

Want to be alive.

Want to be happy.

Want life to change.

And see you every morning.

Here is the release paper.

Take care of yourself.

Mom.

She said yes.

Isn't it time for you

to open your eyes?

SURGERY RELEASE:

SIGNED BY DU WEI

RELATION:

DAUGHTER-IN-LAW

Mom.

Do you hate me?

Is that why

you don't want to leave?

Mom.

Hashimoto.

I want to thank you.

You have helped me

understand life.

I wonder if hate can live forever

and release us from suffering.

Yao's spirit did not remain

because of hatred...

not because of where

he lied in the daylily field.

It was the love

between mother and son.

I call to tell you

that I am resigning.

I will enjoy

what life has for me.

No matter where you are.

I wish you well.
