- Did anyone call her family?

- Yeah.

- Go tell them.

- Auntie Shui.

Tell them she's back.

It's good you're safe.

We were so worried.

Did you see my grandma?

I'm sorry...

I'm sorry.

What are you sorry for?

It's not my fault.

What happened?

Don't be fooled by her!

Shui, what are you sorry for?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

A parcel for Ho Chih-wei.

Everyone is having so much fun!

Everyone, look over here.

Lin Li-shui, look!

You can't call people's full

names in the mountains!

And don't pat people

on their shoulders.

Why not?

If you call someone's full name,

and he turns around,

he'll be caught to replace

someone else in the woods.

Really?

Hey, do you smell

something weird?

- Do you?

- I caught the smell just now.

It smells like a dead rat.

No, it's not the

smell of a dead rat.

Well, I think the

toilet is blocked.

Really? How come I

can't smell it?

How can you not smell it?

It's really bad!

Didn't you take the garbage out?

It smells rotten.

It's so dirty!

Uncle Kun.

Is this Auntie Shui's camera?

Yes, it's Shui's camera.

How did you get it?

Do you know where

Auntie Shui's house is?

Here is her house.

Why is the door left open?

They were here when I

came this morning.

How could this happen?

Let me find the light switches.

What are you doing?

Nothing.

Come help me!

I haven't turned

the power on yet.

Are you all right?

(Grandma, whenever

you come back.)

(Please wake me up, okay?)

(Love, Wai)

It's captured on the morning

your grandma went missing.

Here, look!

See?

Your grandma was going out.

Grandma doesn't walk like that.

We didn't came home

till the evening.

It means grandma wasn't there.

Wait, wind back a bit.

Okay.

Here, wind back a bit.

Okay.

Here.

Look at this...

Now I'd like to ask you

to do me a favor.

Grandma Ho has

gone missing since

she left home on 16th April.

Her family are really

worried about her.

Please call us if you see someone

who fits the description.

She's 75-year-old...

That kind of ghosts

live in the mountains.

His grandma didn't go to

the mountains recently.

How could she be caught?

The trees in the mountains

have been chopped down.

The spectres now have

no place to live.

So they come down

here to catch people.

Wei, don't worry.

Old people often wander

off and get lost.

Don't worry. She'll be back.

Come on, let's let off

the firecrackers.

Come on. Stand aside.

Let's let off firecrackers.

Wei.

Get up.

Wei.

Wei.

Get up!

Slowly. Eat more!

Wow, it's so yummy!

Really yummy?

Careful, don't get

your clothes dirty.

Or you won't look

good on the ceremony.

Come, have another egg.

Grandma, you're a super cook!

Really?

Okay.

Here.

Wei.

When you grow up,

promise you'll often

eat with Grandma.

Okay?

Don't be like your father.

Come, eat up!

Okay?

Okay!

I'll eat with you every day!

Okay, good boy.

I'll write it down.

Remember it.

Okay.

I'll remember it.

What are you doing?

Ho Chih-wei.

Ho Chih-wei.

(Ho Chih-wei promises to eat

with his grandma every day)

Ho Chih-wei.

You got up?

I did try to wake you.

What happened to you?

What's up?

Say something. What's up?

I'm just...

...haven't hug you

for a long time.

Okay.

Okay, grandma lets you hug.

Don't cry, good boy.

Bring your...

What's her name?

Shen Yi-chun.

Oh, okay.

Shen Yi-chun.

Shen Yi-chun. Bring

her home for dinner.

Okay?

Okay?

We'll have dinner

together like family.

Okay.

Hello everyone, welcome back.

We're going to take

the last call.

It's from Shu-hui in Kaohsiung.

Hello Shu-hui.

He doesn't love me anymore.

He doesn't love me anymore.

Shu-hui, who doesn't

love you anymore?

He doesn't love me anymore.

He doesn't love me anymore.

Shu-hui, you may need

to speak up a little.

Or neither I nor other listeners

can hear you.

He doesn't love me anymore.

He doesn't love me anymore.

He doesn't love me anymore.

He doesn't love me anymore.

Okay, Shu-hui.

No matter who he is,

we women have to be

strong and independent.

And I...

Hello?

Hello?

Well.

We may have problems

with the line.

But it's okay.

At the end of the show,

I'd like to say to all women.

No matter he loves you or not,

you have to learn

to love yourself.

Be brave when a relationship

comes to an end.

The next show is Ten p.m.

Roll-call.

Now let's hear a cheerful song.

See you next time.

Bye-Bye

Why do you suddenly show up?

- Are you all right?

- Grandma

invites you to dinner

at home tonight.

Grandma's back?

Let's have dinner

at home tonight.

You're sweating.

What happened? Are

you feeling sick?

Come home for dinner with me.

Okay.

Let's go see a doctor

before going home.

Come on.

You look horrible.

Sit here.

Here.

Wait for me.

I'd like to see a doctor.

- First visit?

- Yes.

Your health insurance

card, please.

Here, fill in the form.

Ho Chih-wei, what are you doing?

Don't you think

babies are so cute?

Hurry up, come see a doctor!

Why don't you want to marry me?

Quiet. You're

disturbing the babies.

Why don't you want to marry me?

Do we have to talk about it now?

Why don't you want

to have a baby?

Can you afford it?

What on earth are

you talking about?

Come, let's go see a doctor.

I want to go home and

eat with Grandma.

Ho Chih-wei!

Grandma, I brought

Yi-chun back for dinner.

Pork rib stew.

Braised rump pork.

Uncle Kun!

Come on, quick!

What happened?

Wei...He was here just now!

(Ho Chih-wei Day 1)

Gods in Heaven. Gods

in the Netherworld.

Please perform a miracle for us!

Yi-chun, we had

better burn that too.

Come...

Yi-chun, here is the last trick.

It's the most important one...

Repeat after me.

Louder!

Muster your strength.

Dear mountain gods,

we're asking you for help.

Please protect us.

Go back to hell, you ghosts!

You motherf***er!

Back to the mountains!

Don't make trouble here!

Well, say...

Back to the mountains!

Don't make trouble here!

That's enough for you.

Come on, louder!

You motherf***er! Go back!

Louder!

F***! Go away! I'm

not scared of you!

F***!

I'd like you to help

me with one thing.
