They Wait Page #3

I remember see some filing cabinets downstairs.

- We filled them up years ago.

- Do you mind if I go and poke around?

- No!

- No!

Why is there a new

padlock in the door of the factory?

Because of what happened to Sam.

I am worry there is still

dangerous chemicals down there.

What does the truck do outside?

If you don't wany anybody there

- what are they unloading?

- They work for me.

Mrs Tsai is allowing me

to put supplies in the warehouse.

I sorry, ladies,

we have to go.

What are you hiding from me?

I understand the stress

you must be under.

For your son sake

you should get some rest.

Why are you insulting my guests?

What's wrong with you

Can I please go down and check the records?

There are no records!

Who keeps the records for over 50 years?

I got your message.

In coma? I should never left.

I love you, hanging there, ok.

I'm getting a plane now

and we see each other soon.

lets me guess, you changed your mind

and you want to return to the work.

I can use your strength.

- I need your help.

- I'm your man.

Where I can get the records of

immigrants

who worked in the factory back in the 40s?

Are you working on a story?

I just need the information.

Please.

Ok, I am going to try.

Which the name of the company?

Jason's unlce used to own a garment factory

in Chinatown, Tsai Fabrics or something so.

a garment factory?

- I don't think that they kept reocords of that.

- what do you means?

It had to have payrolls,

immigration's papers or something so?

Sarah thinks about that, a chinese garment factory in the 40's or 50's,

bringing girls from China,

Definitely not going to have any records.

- You mean, sweatshop?

- I do not want to malign your relatives, but

hold on, they had a shipping company

to...

- Tsai factory, right?

- Yes.

Swore to god that I am going blind.

Here we go,

you complain to the labour board,

but the workers did not testify.

That was in 1949.

There was another investigation in the 70's.

Allegations of smuggling.

Insufficient evidences.

All charges were dropped.

- Were there drugs?

- Parts of animals.

- Parts of animals?

- Yes, in this zone it must be bears.

I did a piece of that a few years ago.

Bear's parts are huge

delicies in the Chinese.

- They make into soup.

- That is disgusting.

It used to be worse,

they use the bear's bile

in the traditional medicine.

They stick a catheter in the gall bladder of the bear

and withdraws bile.

The bear suffers very much.

That is awlful, whu did Jason's uncle be involved in anything like that?

It is illegal and it worth a fortune if

you can get it back to China.

Yes, she is Sam's mother.

Oh my God, I'll be right there.

- What happened?

- We had to get him to surgery.

- His heart is failing.

- What?

Dr. Kent is with him.

we are going to get him through this.

Let me get you some water.

Mrs Tsai, Are you okay?

You really should sit down.

- Yo need to take care of yourself.

- I am fine.

I am going to check on his progress.

This is not real,

this is a nightmare.

Your boy is getting worse, yes?

Then it makes sense, the ghost month

ends tomorrow at dawn.

Arrive already!

When the sun rises, the tie between ours and theirs

will be broken.

- and your son will be lost.

- Stop it!

- I cannot let a child perish.

- Then do something!

There is something you can try,

but it is very dangerous.

- What?

- Come with me.

Stand in here waiting,

does it help your boy?

The sacrifices that we make in

streets are mere decorations.

They allow the livings the illusion of security.

When do we want something from the spirits,

we have to sacrifice something precious.

This time of the year,

the worlds of the livings and

the dead intersect,

and the world is thrown into madness.

Angry spirits, driven by vengeance

are at the height of their power.

But you have no choice,

if you want to save your son,

you must face them now.

This will protect you.

as will this.

- What is that?

- You'll take it with you.

where am I going?

The sad spirits are

trapped where they suffered most.

hurries,

You only has it until sunrise.

You will see with the eyes of the dead,

but don't let them touch you.

they cannot touch you unless you allows it.

Don't allow it,

Or they will trapped you in their world

as they did it to your son.

The angry spirits become demons.

They are devious and come in any form.

The orange is for the guardian demons,

to buy yourself entrance.

The drum will call the dead.

Tap it only once.

And the final step...

the needle holds a poison

thay will bring you to the brink of death.

To see as the dead do,

you must join them.

I can't do it.

- Sarah

- Jason, thank goodness that you are here.

- What are you doing?

- I am trying to save Sammy.

- Is Sam here?

- No.

- Come on, I'll help you.

Let's go, we got to go to the hospital.

You are very smart for a woman.

I come to you tonight.

Uncle Raymond.

- Raymond. I think that this one is done.

- Good, they're expecting the shipment tomorrow.

Are you spying on us?

You never sent the bones,

instead you sent the bears'parts instead.

I knew that this one was going to bring trouble.

How can they do this?

The bones must go home.

Let's send your bones home!

No.

- No, please, I don't tell.

- Raymond.

Did we trust her?

- Raymond, please.

- Shut up!

For Mr Tsai, to you.

She's not going to talk.

Look at her.

If you say one word,

I'll cut you tongue out and made you eat it.

Do you understand?

Get back to work!

We can't trust her.

She would have talked.

- We have to move her?

- We can't move her now, wait till it get dark.

She can help, since she made the mess.

She can clean it.

Mummy?

Come here, let's go.

Sarah, relax, Sarah.

relax, relax.

- Get them off me! Get them...

- They are for your protection.

The doctors want to be sure

that you are not going to try to hurt yourself again, ok.

You don't understand,

we have to save Sam.

Seetheart, the doctors said that they are

doing everything that they can.

- ok

- What time is it?

It's like 3:
30 in the morning.

you need to rest.

We still have time, still have time, we have up till sunrise.

Who said that?

Shall we call a doctor?

Let's asks her.

- Ask her about the bones.

- What bones?

Where did you hide the bones?

You did not send any of them back to China. Did you?

- I am upsetting her.

- You worked them to death,

and you did not even have

the decency to put them to rest.

- I am going to ceck on Sam.

- Stay away from him!

Don't let her near him.

Listen, listen to me

Your uncle and your aunt, they ran a

a sweatshop.

- and they killed a girl.

- What are you talking about?

Her name was Chen Lu.

She saw what they were

doing and they killed it.

- Sarah, hears what you are saying...

- The spirit of the girl has Sam.

We have up to the sunrise

to find her bones

otherwise we will never get

our boy back.

Sarah, I love you.

I am going to check on Sam, check it by myself
