the healing process.

She is putting flowers at home

for the first time since Dad's death.

Writing novels makes me happy.

I feel close to my wife and children.

I can smell the flowers in my home.

It smells so good.

Where should I put them, Melody?

On the tea table. Tea table.

On the piano.

On the piano.

Window.

Television, dining room.

Stove.

Table.

By the window.

By the bookcase.

Though we're only reunited inside a novel,

I'm happy with that.

No, not enough. Oscar,

we'll go and get more.

Good.

Not enough...

I need more scents, and colors, capiche?

Ok... I'm leaving, sir.

Let's go.

Somebody hurt!

Forget the keys again.

Who is it?

We're the police.

Are Mandy Ching and Oscar Tong

living here?

And they are your...

Mother and brother.

Anyone else at home?

Your mother

and brother were killed in

an accident on Flower Street

Forget the keys again.

Who is it?

We're the police.

Does Mandia, Maria V

live here?

Yes. And you are...

Filipino maid.

What happened?

she had an accident on Flower Street.

She was dead on the scene.

What accident?

A fallen canopy.

Fallen canopy?

Why is it my family again?

Sir, calm down.

Is there anyone else at home?

No, I'm the only damn blind man

left in this family.

Sir, we'll contact a counselor for you.

Why not call God?

Why my family again?

Why my family again?

Why don't you take me away as well?

Take me away!

Kill me! Don't leave me alone!

Our whole family already

hides humbly inside the novel.

Why can't they just let us be?

What've we done wrong?

Not enough, not colorful enough.

Let's get to work.

What happened?

Oh, no!

Underworld Express, take me to find

my Mom, Dad and brother.

Hey...

Why can't fate just let go of me?

I was driving. That makes me responsible

for my family's death.

I asked Maria to buy flowers

so she died too?

Thanks, very nice.

It's all my fault.

I shouldn't have put on this reunion.

I did all this.

My family has nothing to do with it.

The coin on its edge will drop

even if it's just touched slightly.

When the me inside the novel

crosses paths with Maria,

it will be time to wake up.

Mom.

Dad. Hubby.

Honey. Somebody Hurt!

Honey!

Honey!

Honey!

Honey, Oscar...

Honey, Oscar.

Just punish me for it,

not my family, no!

(Dad has just finished typing)

(the part about the disappearance)

(of Mom and Oscar, Melody)

(and the Underworld Express)

(As if he is bidding farewell)

(again with his family...)

(Dad holds on to the typewriter,)

(weeping in agony,)

(sitting in solitude in his chaotic home,)

(lonely and helpless...)

Mom, Oscar, please don't die!

Mom and Oscar haven't died.

Mom and Oscar haven't died...

In a novel, anything is possible.

No fate, no chances.

I challenge death,

and death takes its revenge

by taking my Mom and brother.

I can carry on writing,

and bring them back to life in the novel.

I won't give up

and I will bring them back.

Yes?

Are you looking for a domestic helper?

Can you start right now?

Yes.

I haven't eaten for days.

Make me noodles, and tidy up my house.

It's ready.

How can I eat if you don't

turn over the table?

I'm tidying up the place.

Are you blind?

Why be a domestic helper?

I'm by myself and have nowhere to go.

You're by yourself and

I want to take care of you.

How do you know I'm on my own?

Don't kick me out, let me stay.

Why do you want to stay?

How did you become blind?

A car accident when I was 12.

Who else was in your family?

My mother and brother.

When did it happen? Where are they?

Gone to another world.

Another world?

You mean dead?

Where's your father?

What's your name?

Who are you?

Hey, why don't you answer me?

Are you human, or ghost?

I'm a ghost.

I miss you and want to see you.

Melody?

Dad.

Why?

Melody. Mom.

Melody.

Melody.

Mom...

Mom and Oscar really didn't die.

Mom. Melody.

Melody.

Mom.

Melody! Honey!

Hubby... where are you?

So I really could die in their place.

Mom, no need to worry. I'm with Dad.

It's ok as long as you and Oscar are fine.

Melody, there're ghosts in Dad's world!

You're Melody?

How come you're Melody?

What? You all died

in the car crash last year.

You were 12 and Oscar was only 5.

Are you human, or ghost?

Mom, Oscar. Hubby.

Honey, where are you?

How come I can't see you?

Mom, I'm fine.

Melody.

Sis. Oscar, Mom.

How come it looks so much like my house?

In that accident...

Dad survived but went blind,

Mom and Oscar and I were dead.

There're ghosts in Dad's world.

We'll return to him...

as ghosts.

Mom and Oscar didn't die.

It was me who was killed

by the fallen canopy.

I went to Dad's world.

Where are we, Mom?

I don't know, but I see lots of Dad.

Husband's gone, wife's gone,

son's gone, daughter's gone.

You 3 are dead,

please go on to your next life.

Who're you? M'am Meng.

We're dead?

You were crushed by

the fallen canopy 2 days ago.

Oscar, we're dead.

How come you're dead, Melody?

M'am Meng, how did she die?

Melody Tong is not dead.

How come you're here? Go away!

Don't make me leave!

Melody Tong is dead.

Melody.

Mandy Ching and Oscar Tong did not die.

It was Melody Tong who got crushed

by the fallen canopy on Flower Street.

Who're you?

How come you have a book of the dead?

Little M'am Meng who

controls life and death

There can only be one M'am Meng.

February 2nd, 2008, 14:14 hour,

Mandy Ching 42, Oscar Tong 15,

they are crushed to death by a canopy

on Flower Street. It's all correct.

February 8, 2008, 14:14,

Melody Tong was buying

flowers at Flower Street.

The canopy fell and Melody Tong was

the only person got killed

in the accident.

Yours is not the real one.

It was me who was buying

flowers with Oscar.

How come it was Melody that

got killed by the canopy?

I am dead. It was me who went to

buy flowers, and me who died.

It was Melody Tong who got killed,

you let them go.

Quiet!

(Mandy Ching 42, Oscar Tong 15,)

(they are crushed to death)

(by a canopy on Flower Street)

I was right. It wasn't you who died.

Go back and live a good life.

Melody. Sis.

Mom.

Mom, Oscar.

Mom, Oscar.

Melody.

Melody.

M'am Meng, I am dead,

it was me who got crushed.

It was me who went to buy flowers,

and me who died.

Melody, what's going on?

Where're Mom and Oscar?

M'am Meng, I am dead,

it was me who got crushed.

It was me who went to buy flowers,

and me who died.

Melody.

Dad is here. M'am Meng, Let me back!

I'm really dead?

The canopy killed my wife and son,

and my daughter is left by herself.

Melody.

I want to go back...

I'll get back if I am dead.

Melody...

Don't...

Help...

She is trying to kill herself, Help!

You've gone too far...

I won't let you die.

Let Dad beg you.

Melody, don't!

Please have the M'am Meng soup

and go on to your next life.

No, I can't let go of my daughter.

They won't board the car.

They are not dead.

Hubby!

Dad!

You were killed in a car accident

How come you're only

entering the afterlife now?
