Do you live here?

Yes, who are you looking for?

lt`s nothing really, but... l used to live here

You must be mistaken

l have lived here since the house was built

l must be mistaken then, thank you

They won`t let me abort it

What? How can that be?

lt`s already four months, the doctor says it`s too dangerous

l will take care of it

How much?

Fifty dollars

How much?

Fifty, fifty dollars

Son, where`s Mum?

l don`t know

Jen!

How could you be so silly!

Hang in there

That`s great, your sister will be delighted

He says he can make it back. l`m busy now, you talk to Dad

Hi Son, so you will be back?

Lucy!

Come have your breakfast, it`s time for school

l don`t want any breakfast, just let me sleep in

Then how about your birthday present?

Birthday present? Yes please!

Then go wash up quickly

l`ll wash up right now

Which one do you prefer? lt`s fallen asleep again

lt`s so tiny

Let`s see the ones below

Mum, the one below is so cute

Oh yes. Looks like it`s smiling at you too

Look at its tongue

lt`s licking my fingers

Hello! Ok, I pick this one!

This one?

Yes, this one!

Will it bite?

lt`s ignoring us

Thank you

Happy Birthday!

lt`s not even today

Then do you not want it?

Of course I do! let`s go

Hey!

You`re bringing him to school?

Kumi, be good and listen to Mum, ok?

l will play with you once l get home from school

l`ve just named him Kumi

What`s up? Where are you going?

Kumi!

Where are you running off to?

Kumi!

Where are you?

Kumi!

Are you here?

Kumi!

What are you looking for?

Sit

l forgot to tell you

A kid hurt her hand, so l will be home late tonight

What about the other helpers at the childcare?

The kid likes me

Remember to pick Lucy up at six this evening

We debated so well today

Yes we did

Luckily you were there, Lucy

Yes, you were great!

Where shall we celebrate?

Let`s go for desserts!

My dad is picking me up

Really?

So you aren`t coming with us?

Next time then

Alright

We will get going then

Bye!

The number you have dialed is not in use. Please dial again later

Are you alright?

Damn it, look at my car...are you ok?

l`m fine

But my car isn`t

Getting fetched and sent at your age

Your Mum has really spoiled you

l`m sorry

Dad, Mum cooked noodles

Tell Mum to not wait up for me

Mr Guo, l understand you studied opera singing

That was eons ago

A toast to the success of our longterm collaboration

Heel! Jump! Heel! Sit! Sit!

Kumi!

Where are you?

Kumi!

Where are you?

Kumi!

Who`s that?

Mummy?

Are you home?

What`s the matter?

Ming, I can`t find Lucy!

How can that be? I fetched her home

l called her three times but no one answered

Could she be in the shower?

lt`s been ages!

Perhaps she`s asleep

l`m with a client now, l can`t talk

There`s no need to panic

Why don`t you have a look at home first? Let`s talk later

Hey!

Kumi! Where`s Lucy?

Lucy!

What happened to you?

Please don`t scare me!

Lucy!

What happened here, Lucy?

Lucy, please don`t scare me!

Cheers!

l`m sorry Mr Guo, l`ve to take a call

Go ahead

What is it this time?

Ming, Lucy has fainted at home!

l`ll be right back!

Mr Guo, l`m sorry, I have something important to attend to.

Please enjoy yourself. See you tomorrow

Will she be okay?

Don`t worry

She felt giddy

lt must be from hitting her head when she fell

l`ve got to go. l have a busy day and I have to get the car fixed

Don`t worry, the doctor`s here

Call me if there is any news

There could be a slight concussion but it`s nothing serious

Let`s observe for a few days

Call me if there is giddiness or blurred vision

Luckily your brain is not hurt

We need it to get you into medical school

lf your brother can do it, so can you

Lucy!

What`s wrong, Lucy?

What`s wrong?

Sunny!

How`s everything?

How have you been doing?

You look great

You`ve lost weight

Have I?

Haven`t you been eating?

Of course!

You have maintained the car well

lt`s been more than ten years

But l think it still has a few more years left in it

lt will probably last another ten years

under your care

How are your studies coming along?

Not too bad

Your Mum`s been boasting about you becoming a doctor

There`s still quite a few years to go!

You had better buck up

Your Mum`s neck is growing longer from waiting

Then I`d better switch to veterinary so l can treat her

lf you do that, you will be the death of her

Lucy!

Yes!

Your friends are here!

lt`s been too long!

Let`s go in, Lucy is waiting for you

Sunny!

Watch out, watch out!

l am back to celebrate your eightieth birthday!

Then you will be almost a hundred!

For a centenarian, you don`t look too bad

Wait, wait! You have to get off me

What`s wrong?

You`ve grown taller and heavier

`-Look at them

Well, at least l`ve grown taller!

l`m returning to Australia right now

No, please don`t! You haven`t been back for such a long time

Since l haven`t grown any taller, how long could it have been?

Hey! Introduce!

My brother Sunny

These are my schoolmates, Mandy, Mei Lin and Mina

- Hello everyone! - `- Hello!

Lucy is always telling me about you

Me too

So you`ve been telling them that l haven`t grown taller!

Come on, let`s go!

Faster!

Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday to Lucy (To my sister)

Happy birthday to you!

Make a wish then blow the candles

May your brother grow taller and cuter

and may I grow fatter and fatter

Ok

What`s the matter?

There`re maggots!

What? Where?

On the cake! Maggots!

There aren`t any

lt`s full of maggots!

There`s nothing! What`s wrong?

Don`t frighten Mum! You must be mistaken

What`s happened to all of you?

What is it? What`s going on? Lucy! Don`t frighten Mum!

Maggots! Maggots!

Lucy!

The maggots are all crawling out!

Stop it! Lucy! Lucy!

What are you doing!

Lucy! Lucy! Stop her, grab the knife!

There`s really nothing, Lucy!

lt`s covered with maggots!

See if Dad is alright!

Dad!

Are you ok, Dad?

Let`s go to the doctor!

lt was... it was all maggots earlier!

l`m fine

Let`s go to the doctor!

lt was scary...

There`s nothing now

l wasn`t lying, I swear! l wasn`t lying!

There was nothing in the cake

l baked it with my own hands

No one saw anything

The doctor said her head`s fine

Could she be on drugs?

That`s impossible! Lucy will never do that

Let me talk to her

Even you don`t believe me?

l believe you

l really saw the maggots

l am not going crazy

Have you been overworked recently, or not sleeping well?

No!

Have your friends been giving you drugs?

No!

lt`s alright, you`re probablyjust tired

Sis, I`m here for you, you can tell me anything

l`ll help you

l`m so glad you`re back

lt`s ten and she`s still in bed

She`s really getting from bad to worse

Hey, wake up!

lt may be school break but you still shouldn`t sleep in till this hour

Fine! Stop irritating me! Get out!

How can you talk to your Mum so rudely!

She has never been this rude to me!

Are you listening to me?

Teenagers are like that

She has really been acting strange lately

Something`s wrong

What are you saying? Aren`t you overreacting?

She has been like a thorn in your heart all this time

But we are fine now, unlike in the past

What else do you want from me?

She has everything she wants

Tuition, birthday parties...

We even send and fetch her from school

lsn`t that enough?

She needs our care and love

Are you saying I don`t care enough for her?

All these years, have you cared about how l feel?

Every time I look at her, l see that bastard!

What else do you want from me

Have some herbal tea

Trying to curb my temper?

l`m sorry

l should be the one apologising

What are you doing! Stop!

Leave me alone!

l will kill myself right here ifyou harm her!

Put the knife down!

Please don`t harm her, she`s innocent!

l must get rid of this bastard child!

Please don`t do this, it is not her fault!

Let go ofthe knife!

Promise me that you will love her!

Let go ofthe knife!

l will kill myself ifyou ever try to harm her!

l promise you, just put the knife down

`- l will kill myself now

Promise me!

Promise me from your heart

l will treat her well

l`ll do my best for her

Don`t worry

Promise me from the bottom of your heart

`- l promise you I will love her

Please put it down

You promise

l promise you

lt is not her fault. You must promise me

What`s past is past

l will be helping out at the childcare today

Ok, l`ll pick you up after l pick Lucy from tuition

l`m...not going for tuition

Why?

l don`t feel like it

You know very well how poor your maths is

Why must l be good at everything?

So that you can study medicine, like your brother!

l don`t want to study medicine!

What did you just say?

You must! Look at all that we have done for you!

l never asked you to!

Stand there!

Look at yourself!

What`s wrong with you lately! I`m bringing you to a psychiatrist

Go see one yourself!

You never wanted me or loved me!

l will go see how Sis is

Get lost! I am not going to study medicine! Go away!

What`re you doing? Practising martial arts?

Have I gone crazy? Is something wrong with me?

No, not at all, why would you go crazy all of a sudden?

But Mum thinks l am crazy!

She wants me to see a psychiatrist

You`ll be fine

l don`t want to see a psychiatrist

Everyone will think I`m really crazy

When my teacher revealed

that a classmate was on medication

Everyone avoided her

lt`s not that serious

The checkup is just to ease Mum`s concerns

Relax

l didn`t mean to hit you

l know...I didn`t mean to say those things too

Lucy Chan, you`re next

You`re next

Do you hear voices in your head?

No

Do you think you have been behaving abnormally?

No

But some strange events have happened recently, haven`t they?

Yes

Have these events been bothering you?

l see what others can`t see

No one believes me when I tell them so

Not even my Mum

Doctor, do you believe me?

These events must seem very real to you

Your daughter may have some hallucinations

but it isn`t schizophrenia

Let`s review the results in a week

after Lucy tries out the medication

Kumi!

Maybe he`s not feeling well

Kumi!

Kumi! Kumi!

Kumi!

Why did you let Kumi run out?

You skipped dinner, here, drink this Ovaltine

Poor Kumi

Don`t blame Dad, he didn`t do it on purpose

lf something happened to me, will you come save me?

Of course

What about Dad?

Of course he will!

Why do you ask?

l overheard your conversation

You think we didn`t want you?

You know we would never do that

But l heard you both

We were very poor then

and Sunny was only five

Somedays we could barely afford a meal

Then Grandad fell ill

We had to send all our money back for his operation

And I became pregnant with you

But we really couldn`t afford another child

So l performed a self-abortion

like how l had seen it done in the village

But the abortion failed and I had you

l have loved you since

But Dad doesn`t

Dad loves you too

he just doesn`t know how to show it

lt`s the truth, believe me

Life was really hard then

l`m sorry

l told Lucy

What about?

The abortion

Why?

She overheard our conversation,

she thinks we didn`t want her

Did you tell her about the other matter too?

No, of course not!

Never

She doesn`t need to know that

Hey miss! What`s the hurry,

why don`t you pour our drinks first

More for me

Slowly, there`s no rush

More, more, more!

Thank you

Miss, you`re quite pretty, aren`t you?

Enjoy your drinks

What do you want?

Come! Sit! Sit!

Get out!

Alright

Please don`t, l can`t drink

l am asking you to drink

No! Please, don`t

Give it to me!

l will be fast! Stay still, don`t move

Don`t move!

Hey, what do you want?

Do you need to clean up the room?

No, get lost

Let`s go to the police

Then the whole world will know!

So we just ignore it?

Even ifwe go to the police, he will be out in a few years

They won`t let me abort it

Why?

lt`s already four months, the doctor says it`s too dangerous

l killed the bastard!

What if l get arrested?

l`ll be fine

l`ll wait for your release

l`ll wait for you

Hey, we can go

What`s the hurry?

This is delicious!

The sausages are great!

See how nicely my wings are doing!

What`s wrong, Sis?

What`s wrong?

Lucy!

Mum, at the park today

Lucy was terrified and screaming

She was really frightened

Do you think...

that it could be...

What is it?

lt`s nothing...nothing

The swelling seems to have gone down

Yes it has. ls it still painful

Yes

lt won`t hurt after a few days

Ok

Sorry!

Let me do it

Pardon my clumsiness

Lately, you seemed very bothered

A close friend of mine

is an exorcist

Perhaps she can help you

Maggots represent decay

Has she been to any wakes or funerals lately?

No

What about the cemetery?

No

Go back and bring me some things...

ls this enough?

More than enough

This is her favourite doll

l got it for her on her eighth birthday

What are you doing here?

Kumi died a terrible death

How is it?

There`s nothing suspicious

Nothing at all?

Nothing at all

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you so much!

What do you want?

Lucy, open the door!

Get a hammer! Help! Help! Save me!

Help! Save me!

What`s going on?

lt`s Dad!

Help me!

What`s wrong? What happened?

l`ll get ice!

Are you alright?

Lucy was standing at the door earlier!

Are you mistaken?

Of course not! She seemed like she was possessed!

Lucy! Lucy!

Here`s the ice

l`ll find Lucy

Bear with it

Sis?

Sis!

Sis?

Sis!

What`s the matter?

Dad got scalded

Dad got scalded?

Get on

l`ve given him some painkillers

He has second degree burns

They cover a large area, so recovery time will be longer

Thank you, doctor

Sis

Dad said you were standing by the bathroom door, were you?

lt wasn`t me

Then where were you?

l was in my room

Didn`t you hear Dad calling for you?

Did you not hear him?

l was listening to music

Mummy, let me help you

Sunny, let me help you clean your room

Really? But you won`t get paid, you know?

Yes, Doctor Sunny!

There`s nothing suspicious

Nothing at all

Lucy! What happened?

What`s wrong?

Don`t be afraid

So it was just your hormones creating havoc

Now that your period is here, everything will be fine

l`ll wash everything, you`ll be fine

Retribution

lt must be retribution

No

lt`s not retribution

You don`t know anything

l know

l have known since l was little

You killed that bastard, didn`t you?

Ming!

Why is there so much blood?

How dare you touch my wife!

Did anyone see you?

l don`t think so

Dad, don`t blame yourself

l would have done the same!

That bastard deserved to die,

so there shouldn`t be any retribution for killing him!

l raised the bastard`s child all these years

Just look at me now!

How can this not be retribution?

Dad, its not Sis` fault

She loves you and Mum very much

Something else is causing her strange behaviour,

some other spirits

What`s most important now is for you to get well

Just get well quickly

Mum!

What are you cooking?

l`m cooking porridge for Dad

Mum!

lt needs disinfecting

l`m relieved that you still have your appetite

That bastard is back for revenge and has possessed her body

lt`s been so many years

lt has nothing to do with Lucy

That`s it, l`m getting discharged right now

No, you mustn`t

You still have a surgery to get through

Don`t worry, Sunny and l will handle everything

Don`t worry

Have a little more

Mum!

l want to show you something

What is it?

l hid a camera in Lucy`s bedroom

You spied on her?

l`m worried, l want to know what`s wrong with her

How can this be! She`s...

The nails and hair that you gave me

must not belong to your daughter!

What shall we do now?

l beg of you, please save my sister!

She is after your Mum`s blood

Set up an altar immediately

There`s no time to lose

Sunny, Mum!

You`re back

Yes

What`s inside the bag?

Just sundries

These incense ash and charms will protect you

and help to overcome the spirit

Hey Sis, let`s go visit Dad

Once you reach home, get your sister out of the house

She mustn`t know what we are doing

Let me get my things

lf anything happens to me, please take care of your sister

Lucy!

Take care

Let`s go

Hello? She has left

Let me know once your daughter leaves the house

l will rush over immediately

To save time, follow my instructions and

set up the altar in your daughter's room

Will Dad not want to see me?

No

But you know his temper

he will calm down in a few days

lt truly wasn`t me

l believe you

You are the only one who believes me

l know l haven`t been sincere

l don`t usually pray

But ifyou can hear me

Please save my daughter

She has done no wrong

l am the one who erred

l shouldn`t have brought her into this world

Sir, can you drive faster? I am in a hurry

Ok

Thank you!

Dad!

Dad, here`s a card for you!

Dad, Sis chose the card herself

l know who you are

You raped my wife fifteen years ago...

Are you back to get me?

What`re you doing!

Let go!

Help!

No Dad!

Help!

Please relax and stay calm!

Please leave now, please go!

Why did Dad strangle me?

He said someone`s back from fifteen years ago

Who is it?

What did he say? What does it mean?

Let`s hurry home to find Mum!

What`s this?

The blood from the abortion

Why are you keeping it?

l wanted to bury it properly

But the abortion failed

Let me bury it

Who`s there?

Enough, l am telling you!

What do you want?

Stop bothering us!

Who are you?

Why are you doing this to us?

Why? Why are you doing this to me?

Who are you?

Mum

l am the son you aborted

Fourteen years ago, you were having twins

But you didn`t give birth to me

l can`t move on

l can't be reborn

l`m sorry

l`m so sorry

l didn`t mean to harm you

l never meant for this to happen

Please forgive me

You are still alive, Mum

What do you mean?

You don`t belong here

l am taking you with me

Please, I beg you!

l want to see Sunny graduate!

l want to see Sunny marry and have kids!

And Lucy...

l still want to see Lucy get married!

l beg you, please. l`m sorry!

`- You cannot stay here

l don`t want to go, l can`t leave just like that

You can`t stay in this place!

l`m very sorry, l want to stay, please don`t bring me away!

`- You don`t belong in this place!

`- You cannot stay here

You must go Mum!

You must go! You must go!

You have finally awoken!

l`ll get the doctor!

Mrs Chan

You have been unconscious for fifteen years

...fifteen years?

...my son...

...and daughter...

...where are they?

Mum!

What happened here?

Mum!

Mrs Chan...

Fifteen years ago

Your self-abortion failed and you were hemorrhaging

There was an accident on your way to the hospital

Despite the Doctor`s efforts,

they couldn`t save your husband or your son...

...that`s not possible...

What happened here?

Mum!

Where is she?

Where is Mum?

...then what about my daughter?

While you were unconscious,

the foetus continued to grow

We delivered the baby by Caesarean

But unfortunately,

The baby only lived for three minutes

...no...that`s not possible...

...you`re lying...that`s not possible...

...my daughter...Lucy...

...when she was eight...

...I gave her a doll...

...and my son...he is in medical school...

...he is going to be a doctor...

You have been unconscious for fifteen years

...and my husband...

`- Mrs Chan, please calm down

...don`t you dare lie to me!

Get the tranquilizers!

...don`t lie to me!

...why are you lying to me!

...Doctor!

...No!

Three Months Later

Who are you looking for?

Do you live here?

Yes, who are you looking for?

lt`s nothing really, but... l used to live here

You must be mistaken

l have lived here since the house was built fifteen years ago

l must be mistaken then, thank you

Mum...

We miss you
