Too bad that I haven't

had a chance to repay him yet.

He had a very hard time being a nice man, too.

I will never forget this savior.

I remember his name was Lam Sing.

Now I have this atypical insomnia, too.

Do you think we are meant for each other,

the way we met?

Why did you come back to me?

I thought our meeting in Venice 10 years ago

was predestined.

But now,

I'm worried it was payment for ancestral sins.

- Tea, Mom.

- Good.

- Have some tea, please.

- Good.

I'll stick with you from now on.

What's wrong, Sing?

I... something is wrong with my eyes...

Still not able to sleep?

You sleep first.

So early, Dr. Lam?

Are you two doing morning exercise?

There's something I want to ask you, Dr. Lam.

Why has the gas in there changed to N-gas?

N-gas makes one feel high.

What do you know!

Breakfast.

What are you doing?

I came in to see if you were able to sleep?

Why are you holding scissors?

I was mending clothes.

Mom, her sister, her sister...

Man Woon is possessed by her sister!

My sister is still affecting Sing's mind.

What?

I want to sleep!

Let me sleep, I want to sleep.

Let me sleep.

Let me sleep, I want to sleep!

Let me sleep!

Let me sleep.

What is Dad doing?

Let me sleep.

He's still the same.

Dad.

Sing.

Sing, Sing.

Don't! What are you doing?

Let go of him! You could kill him!

Sing! Let go of him!

Mom! Get up, get out of here!

Be careful!

Leave, hurry!

Be careful!

"The silvery moon...

is shining on the courtyard... "

"Be good, dad, go to sleep."

"The silvery moon...

is shining on the courtyard... "

"Be good, dad, go to sleep."

Comfy?

Halt!

Don't move!

Every debt has its debtor!

Your Dad was a nice man, Sik Ka.

You have said it many times already.

Don't talk about the old days anymore.

He didn't go insane.

He was really...

cursed.

Why did you force me to give the flower

at that mass grave?

Do you know that woman is still

following me everywhere?

I really feel awful.

I don't want to suffer anymore.

I don't want to see that woman anymore.

Why did you force me, why?

Why did you force me?

Sorry, I really feel awful.

I really feel awful.

I really don't want to see that woman anymore.

Why did you force me back then?

Sorry.

Dr. Lam.
