LITTLE FLOWERS

And on my birthday, I'm going to sing you a special song, "Rain On Our Love."

Each raindrop drip drops On the roof of her porch

Secretly desiring a look Waiting, and then not…

I'm leaving for work.

Mom, I'm recording!

Just keep messing with that camera, buddy, then, when you break it,

you'll get a real bruising.

Lock the door after I leave.

Yes, Mom.

The forecast for today is heavy showers with thunder,

with a high level of magnetism,

heaviest in the area around the hydroelectric dam west of the city.

Residents, please take caution when using electronic devices.

I've cooked you dinner. Eat and then go to your tutor.

Mom, you should stay home today. It's about to rain.

You think food grows on trees or what?

Mom, do you remember what day tomorrow is?

What's tomorrow?

Go get my raincoat.

SPECIAL PROMOTION

Here's your raincoat, Mom.

Thanks.

Mom, do you really not remember what day tomorrow is?

It's the day I get paid. What day do you think it is?

Be good. I'm going to work.

She never remembers anything.

Each raindrop drip drops On the roof of her porch

Secretly desiring…

Pick up the phone, Mom!

The number you have dialed is not available. Please try again later.

Is… there anyone home?

Phong!

Come here.

Phong!

Phong!

Phong!

Help me! Anybody, help! I don't know where this kid came from.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SON

Wrap it for me, please.

Your son is really going to like it

-Phong. Phong. -Trung!

-Trung! -Phong!

Go home!

Phong!

LIEN NGHIA TOWN

20 YEARS LATER

After pouring down yesterday afternoon and evening,

the storm blew to the west and weakened to a tropical depression,

leaving the city peaceful, with beautiful skies.

PRESS "A" TO CATCH A BUTTERFLY AND COMPLETE THE TASK

Hey, how come you're playing video games and not sleeping?

I can't sleep.

Can't sleep? Why can't you sleep?

This room is so cold. As cold as bingsu.

Oh, okay. So you're playing games to warm up?

Here, I know how to warm you up real quick.

Don't, don't! Yeah, I'm warm!

-Are you warmed up yet? Huh? -Yeah. Yeah.

-You're warmed up, right? -Yeah.

Okay. Then get ready to go to school.

Hurry.

Hey, Puppy, I put the permission slip to go camping in your backpack.

Remember to give it to your teacher.

Yes, Mom.

Don't tell me it's a long way home. You promised to come home.

Puppy was waiting for you all night.

If it's too far. Let's just move back to the old house.

I haven't even taken all our stuff out yet.

Come on.

I don't want to have to spend the night away from you either.

There are so many things going on right now, I need you beside me.

Okay, I'll make it up to you this afternoon. Everyone is here.

I have a meeting.

Hey, don't forget we're eating dinner with Trung.

Yeah, I remember.

Love you, Bearcake.

Go work.

After he calls you Bearcake,

you look nice and fresh, like you've just had an energy drink.

You're such an idiot.

If I were you, I'd just stay home,

be a housewife, and let my husband take care of me.

You better get on the prowl, then.

Yeah, sure I'm a cougar, but who's gonna hunt me at this age?

Looks like you've been doing some hunting of your own.

Hey, how's your new house?

It's pretty big, nice and open.

It's just a little tough because it's so far from Puppy's school.

Quan leaves early in the morning and only comes home at night.

I don't understand why he has to buy this house and move out so quickly.

He's a businessman. When you get a good deal, you grab it right away.

Come on. Let's get to work. I want to go home early today.

Congratulations, Doctor. Your new paper is excellent.

Especially the section discussing crossover

between the temporal lobes and memory.

That's the heart of it.

-Trang. -Yes?

How did your surgery exam go this month?

I'll probably wait for the next one.

Trang, how long are you going to wait? You could become one of the best doctors.

But I've already chosen to be the best mom.

-But-- -Doctor, we can't find patient Quang!

I'm sure I locked the door.

When we pushed the cart in here, Mr. Quang wasn't there.

Why is this door not locked?

I'm not sure why.

He obviously climbed out the window into the yard.

Go look at the security camera footage. Hurry!

Yes, Doctor.

Twenty years! And no one believes my research.

Mr. Quang!

Mr. Quang, wait!

The hurricane is here. Sam is going to destroy everything.

No, look around. It's a beautiful day. There's no storm coming.

The magnetism is everywhere.

Radio waves will be lost. Everything is going to explode.

I know, but that was hurricane Sam 20 years ago.

There won't be a hurricane today. The weather forecast said so.

That's right.

What does the weatherman know? What do you know?

-I know. -Twenty years ago, you were just a kid.

Because I'm also a victim of hurricane Sam.

What?

What happened to you?

It's a long story. Just put it down

and I'll tell you. Okay?

I'm so sorry for putting you out again.

I know you're busy, but we have to figure something out. I can't do this forever.

Okay, I know, next time, I'll work it out better.

Don't worry about it. Oh, remember to bring Puppy early tomorrow.

They're going on their camping trip.

Okay. Thank you so much.

-I have to take this call. -Yeah.

Puppy.

Mommy.

-Let's go home. -Okay.

Let's go.

Hi, Daddy!

Come here. Daddy came home early to see Puppy.

Hey Bearcake, you're home late.

Where are you going? Give me your backpack. Give me your jacket.

-Give me! -I win! I win!

-This is my room. I won! -You're so fast.

Okay, this is your room, so tonight, you sleep here by yourself, all right?

No, I'm sleeping with Mommy and Daddy.

Hey, honey, is this our stuff or theirs?

This is the old owner's stuff.

Okay. Make sure we give it back to them. Are you ready to go eat?

It's still early. Let's try and get some work done first. Puppy, go downstairs.

Mommy and Daddy are going to clean up. It's going to be really dusty.

But I want to help Daddy clean up.

Hand me those books.

Good girl.

Mommy, what is this?

Oh, ask Daddy.

What? Oh, this! This is a souvenir from the first time Daddy and Mommy met.

It's pretty, isn't it, you little sleepyhead?

Here!

Sometimes, if you miss an appointment by an hour,

you have to wait a hundred years before you meet again.

Do you remember what I had to go through to get you that clock?

Yes, I remember. You don't shut up about it.

Do you remember Trung lost a bet to me?

Mommy!

There's a TV here, Mommy!

It still works.

Hey, that's cool.

-Is that guy in our room, Mommy? -And on my birthday,

-He lived here before. -I'm going to sing you a special song.

"Rain On Our Love".

Each raindrop drip drops On the roof of her porch…

November 22. Hey, that's today. In 1999, if this kid was this big…

Now he's probably about your age. Were you like him then?

Secretly desiring…

Each raindrop drip drops On the roof of her porch

Secretly desiring…

What was that?

Turn it off.

-What? -It's okay.

It's okay.

Come here. I got you.

Come to Daddy.

Hi, Trang!

How many times have I told you. Don't mess with stuff in the kitchen.

I just wanted to help you.

All right, go study.

My finger hurts. How am I going to do my homework?

That's your left hand. You still have your right hand, right?

Mommy, come upstairs with me.

Don't be so whiny. If I go up with you, who's going to clean up this mess?

I'm coming up to check in a little bit.

How am I going to hide it?

Everyone knows, man.

Oh, thanks. You didn't have to.

Here, this is for your dad, to show him our gratitude.

Oh man, I don't know about gratitude, but these will definitely get eaten.

Thanks a bunch.

Back in the day, if I had a little more guts,

this guy would be the neighbor, I'd be the husband.

Man, how can a Honda Wave compete with a Harley?

What were you guys whispering about just now?

Oh, Trung wants to invest in some real estate. I'm helping him out.

Oh right. Because my truck is so old, I have to invest in land to get a new one.

Stop scratching your elbow. Tell the truth.

Actually, we were just talking about that kid. Nothing much.

What kid?

The kid in the video. He's Trung's friend.

Oh, great. Can you help me take all his stuff back to him?

This stuff? How can I? He's dead.

How did he die?

Because… He got hit by a truck.

I remember. It was on this date 20 years ago.

I feel most sorry for his mom.

She went to the market to buy a guitar for his birthday.

When she got back, he was dead.

How can it be such a coincidence? Are you sure you remember right?

Yeah, I remember very clearly. I saw it.

It was when… when hurricane Sam came through.

I have no idea why the kid went out in the wind and rain like that.

Something was bound to happen. Man.

Or maybe because of the scream?

What scream?

In the video we saw, the boy was recording when the neighbor screamed.

The neighbor? Oh, Mr. Son.

What Mr. Son?

Mr. Son across the street. Who do you think?

There, that's his house.

Across the street.

Listen to me. Go home. You're drunk.

You're crazy. I'm not drunk. He was the one who was drunk.

That's why he killed his wife.

All right, that's enough. Go home. Come again another day.

On that day, he killed his wife.

The police came and took him away. The whole neighborhood knew.

But actually, he wasn't arrested, he confessed.

He even confessed that he was intending to bury his wife's body at Gate 3

of the hydroelectric dam.

I'm not telling you these things to scare you

because, actually, this happened a long time ago.

Twenty years ago. Mr. Son might even be out of prison by now.

Trung! Hey, Trung!

-Yeah? -Trung, come home.

-What's up, Mom? -Trung, let's go home.

Mom, you're sick. Why did you come over here?

Come home, quick. The hurricane is almost here. Come home.

Auntie, calm down. The weather report said the hurricane is going to blow over.

-Yeah. -What do you know?

Mom.

Hurricane 11 has unexpectedly changed course.

In two hours, it will hit the western part of the city.

It is projected that this storm will have

the same destructive power as the record-breaking Sam from 1999.

WEATHER FORECAST

I told you. I want to move back to the old house.

Be careful with this door. If you close it, it'll lock.

Tomorrow I'll change the lock.

Did you hear what I said?

Accidents happen everywhere. People die everywhere.

But this isn't an accident. This is murder!

Twenty years. Maybe he is out of jail now. Don't you care about Puppy?

Come over here and sit down. I want to talk to you.

Listen to me. My company has data about all the people around here.

As for the boy, he died a long time ago.

Mr. Son was arrested. There's nothing more to it. This area is very safe now.

I know it is difficult for you and Puppy,

but everything has its price.

In two months, this area is going up for zoning reimbursement.

So what's more important to you? Money or your wife and daughter?

I'm making money for us.

We don't know what could happen tomorrow.

I'm right here. There's nothing to worry about.

Okay, fine. I'll trust you for now.

But what about this?

Do you know who that belongs to?

I don't know. I just know it was in your bag.

Come here. I want to see if my feeling is right.

Looks pretty good, doesn't it?

I know you're busy, but do you remember what the day after tomorrow is?

You don't remember?

Our wedding anniversary.

Yeah. I bought them yesterday morning. When I went to look for them,

I only found one earring. I'll buy another pair.

I'm sorry.

Don't worry about it. Everything will be all right.

But I really feel sorry for that kid and his mother.

Yeah, but what can we do about it?

Quan.

Quan.

Storm 11 will bring heavy rains and thunder.

It will change direction within the next two hours,

blowing towards the western part of the city. There'll be heavy magnetism.

A heavy storm is predicted.

All residents should take necessary precautions.

This storm is as strong as the record-setting Sam.

Hey. Who's there?

A ghost!

Ghost? Where?

Quan. Quan!

Wait. Hey, miss. You can't open it that way.

Please don't hurt my family!

Miss, are you speaking to me?

Why does it look so much like my room?

The only thing that's different is that clock over there.

I'll tell you how to open the door.

But stay here and play with me for a little bit.

Right on the handle, there's a little hole.

Just get a stick and stick it in, pull it down, and it'll open.

There! Miss!

Hey, miss, someone's getting beaten up over there.

I saw someone stabbing them with scissors.

I have to find someone to help.

Phong! Don't go!

But they need my help!

If you go, you're going to die!

What do you mean?

Phong, you must believe me because I come from the future.

You like "Rain On Our Love", by Dan Truong, right?

Phong, just stay put in your room. Your mom's about to come home.

She's going to give you a guitar for your birthday.

Miss, I can't hear you clearly.

Phong, just stay in your room.

-Your mom's about to get home. -Miss. Miss!

Phong! Your mom's about to get home.

Phong, just stay in your room.

-Phong, stay at home. Your mom… -Miss, miss.

-Your mom's about to get home. -Miss. Miss!

Phong.

Miss. Miss!

Hey, do you even know how to drive?

Hey someone's gonna get killed with that kind of driving!

Mom!

Hey. Why aren't you in bed yet?

Mom, something really weird just happened.

Are you dreaming again?

That's what you get for watching those violent shows all day long.

No, it's not that. I saw a lady. She came from the future.

She even said that you're going to buy me a birthday present.

You don't need to remind me. Here's your present.

Wow! Thanks, Mom!

You're a big boy now. You should help me out more.

SOMETIMES A HURRICANE CAN RESULT FROM THE FLAPPING OF A BUTTERFLY'S WINGS

THOUSANDS OF MILES AWAY.

A SMALL CHANGE IN ACTION CAN LEAD TO A MONUMENTAL CHANGE IN OUTCOME.

THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT

Puppy.

Quan.

Puppy.

Taxi!

Teacher.

Excuse me, miss, but did Puppy go on the outing this morning?

The outing was canceled because of the storm,

but there's no one here called Puppy.

What do you mean, miss? Puppy is Nguyen Phuong My,

your student for over two years now.

I'm sorry. There's no one here by the name of Nguyen Phuong My.

Good morning, Teacher!

-Miss. -Sit down, kids.

Puppy sits right here, miss.

I told you, in this class, there's no one called Puppy.

Chuong, Puppy sits right here, doesn't she?

I don't know.

It's time to start class now. Please leave the classroom. If not, I'll call security.

What is this? Where's my daughter?

Hey, kids. Puppy sits here, doesn't she, kids?

The number you have called is not in service. Please…

Thank you, sir.

Storm update. Due to a sudden change in direction yesterday,

Storm 11 has had several complications.

In the city center, near the eye of the storm, it is quieting,

but within the next 24 hours, there could be a heavy downpour and high winds,

followed by thunder and lightning.

All residents, please be forewarned.

Take all necessary precautions and avoid going outside if unnecessary.

THE BEAT OF SPLENDOR

So how many here believe they're going to be millionaires?

Very good. There is no easy path. Only hard work leads to millions, am I right?

-Yes. -Quan.

There are no difficult customers,

only customers whose perspective we don't yet understand.

For example, this young lady, for instance.

She's not very well-dressed,

but who knows, she may potentially be a very valuable customer. Right?

Quan, I can't find Puppy.

Did you hear that? It appears that she needs an apartment that allows pets.

I went to the school, and I couldn't find her anywhere.

And you need it to be

near your child's school for easy drop off and pick up, is that right?

I'm serious. I'm not joking.

There. Remember to never become simply a middleman in the eyes of--

Stop it! Our child is missing!

Listen, I don't know who you are, but this is a very important meeting for me.

Don't bother me. Go away.

Quan. Look at me. I'm your wife, Quan.

-Look at me. -I'm not your husband.

Look at me, Quan.

-I'm your wife, Quan. -Are you crazy?

-Look at me. I… -Are you crazy?

Quan, look at me.

I'm your wife. Let me go. Quan. I'm his wife.

It's just a misunderstanding.

Let me go!

I'm your wife! Let me go!

There's no problem.

Ms. Vu Thu Trang.

Please sit.

So you misidentified your husband?

I went to find Quan to tell him our daughter is missing.

You are charged with creating a disturbance at Asia Real Estate,

and Nguyen Trung Quan,

the man you claim is your husband, is the one pressing charges.

Nguyen Trung Quan is my husband.

All right. Do you remember anything about your husband and daughter?

I was talking to him… Everything is still very clear to me.

Le Phong. Would like to play the song "Rain on our Love". Miss!

Oh, I met a boy.

I thought you had a girl.

Yes, but that boy… lived in my house 20 years ago.

And so how did you meet him? Do you remember anything about him?

Come on. We're wasting time.

If you don't give me all the necessary information, then we can't help you.

Le Phong is the name of the boy. That's all I remember.

Ms. Trang, according to the information you've provided,

along with our investigation,

Mr. Nguyen Trung Quan and you are not married.

There is no birth certificate for Nguyen Phuong My.

I know that you're quite disturbed at the moment,

but I need to do some paperwork before I can let you go.

Give me another one. This bill is torn. How can I use it?

Come on. This is still good. Here.

Thank you, miss.

You don't have any bigger bills?

Hey, do you know where Mr. Son is?

I've been by a few times, but he's never home.

How should I know? I don't live with him.

The people's committee of the city donated the friendship clock to the post office

at 7 a.m. this morning to celebrate the post office bus station

officially coming into service.

Hey, Mom.

It's 30,000 dong more than last month.

Mom, look at the TV. At the post office,

they put up a clock exactly like the one belonging to the lady from the future.

Hey, Mom, yesterday I heard someone screaming from inside Mr. Son's house.

How many times have I told you.

Don't stick your nose into other people's business.

But…

But nothing. You're not watching TV. Why is it on?

Because I'm waiting for the lady from the future.

Who knows. Maybe she'll come back.

I knew it. Watching movies all the time, you're brain's turned to mush.

Here, take this money to auntie Duyen, buy me a bottle of soy sauce,

so I can cook tonight. So many things to do.

LITTLE FLOWERS

Hey, do you remember what that lady said the other day?

She just told me not to go outside.

And how the heck did she know my mom was buying me a guitar for my birthday?

Sounds like Doraemon.

Hey, man, I have to get going. My mom's going to yell at me.

Okay. See you later.

Yeah.

What are you looking for?

I need a barrel.

Here. Exactly the kind you need.

Really waterproof. With the lid on.

Waterproof. Airtight.

It looks like the temporal lobe has been affected, so it's created false memories.

Doctor, I've helped you with hundreds of cases like this before.

I'm perfectly fine.

We need to take an MRI so we can have a good look at that hemisphere.

I haven't had brain surgery. Why do you need to take an MRI?

It's a request from the police. They need to see the results.

Go ahead.

Please go to the examination room.

Le Phong… the song… "Love Song."

I'm so dizzy all of a sudden.

All right. Go take a rest in the next room. Okay?

How many times have I told you. You're not allowed to wear this inside the hospital.

But I'm cold. The storm's about to get here.

Let's go.

Thank you. I'm so thirsty. Can you get me a cup of water?

It's probably a side effect of the medicine. I'll get you some water.

Thanks.

I have to connect with the boy.

Hello? I told you not to call.

Everything is okay.

What necklace? Okay, I'll look for it.

Just follow the plan.

OUTPATIENT DEPARTMENT

I remember this door was locked.

Nguyet. Where are you, Nguyet?

Phong.

To the lady from the future. You didn't come back, so I took the TV. Phong.

Mom.

Mom. Catch me, Mom!

Mom.

Slow down.

Honey.

Call the police.

Hey, why don't you just let Trung do that?

I'm still healthy enough to do it.

Then can you take this box out for me, Dad?

Hey, you're the strapping young man here.

Trung, why don't you just go tomorrow? It looks like a storm's coming.

I know, Mom, but if I don't go now, they're going to dock points off.

And I'm just going out to the district market.

Guarantee I'll be back before the storm.

This kid. Will it kill you to just wait until the storm passes?

Yeah. Me and my business.

I can't believe you.

I'm leaving now, Mom.

Hurry back home. Don't make your mom wait up. You hear?

Yeah, I know. I'll be back soon, Dad. Stay home and take care of Mom.

Why did the storm have to come today? It's been 20 years, right?

I'll drop by there.

It's cold outside. Why don't you tell your boyfriend

to come over and hug you tight?

Why are you working so hard right now?

Come on. I don't have a boyfriend

Liar.

-I'm still single. -Oh shit.

Nothing.

-What's wrong? -No.

Trung.

What?

I…

Get out! Who are you?

We used to know each other.

What?

You have a habit of scratching your elbow every time you lie.

When you were a kid, your hair used to be curly, so they called you Curly Trung.

You have a friend named Phong.

And even now, you still like to read Doraemon comics.

So you're a fan. Are you really into me or what?

Trung, I need to find Phong.

You mean you connected with Phong through his TV?

So then you told him to wait at home for his mom to give him that guitar, yes?

How did you know?

You act like you're the only one who's read that book. I read it too.

You and Phong tell exactly the same story as the book.

Here. Right?

PARALLEL

I swear.

The guy who wrote this

also knew that Phong's birthday was the same day as Storm Sam.

It's a pretty good read.

It's just all that about the butterfly effect, or the bird effect,

I don't get it.

As for the TV and the camcorder, sounds exactly like the one he used to use.

Hey, now that I think about it, you're just like the drawing.

So, who's the owner of that book? You or Phong? And who is Professor Sam?

The Institute for Research and Technological Development of Electricity.

Where is that?

It's close to here. If… No, I can't take you there.

I still have deliveries to do, and I still don't have a wife or kids yet.

There's a lot of electricity in there. Step in there, I'll definitely be sterile.

Trung, I need to go there. For my daughter.

Okay but I'm only taking you there, then I'm leaving, all right?

Thank you. You always help me out.

You crazy? This is the first time we've met. What are you talking about?

In another reality, we were friends.

Back then, I was a first-year student at medical school.

Every morning, I would wake up at 6:05,

then leave the house by 6:20.

I would buy banh mi at the shop across the street before bus 16 came.

After three songs, I'd get to the transfer station at the post office.

Five minutes before bus 24 arrived to take me to school.

Every day was like that. Until one day.

That day, I had an exam. I woke up five minutes late

because I stayed up late the night before.

I quickly left the house. When I got to the bus stop, the bus had just left.

Hey!

Five minutes later, another bus came.

I knew that if I was quick, I'd still be able to catch bus 24.

I ran after the bus, but I didn't know that waking up late that morning

would change my life.

That was when we met.

That was the first time I saw Quan.

Then we got married and had a lovely daughter together.

Hey, freshen up. We're here.

This is the last stop for me, all right?

Hey. The storm's about to come. Get home soon.

You too.

Mister, can you…

Mr. Quang?

-Mr.… -Do we know each other?

Excuse me. I need to talk with Professor Sam.

-Do you know-- -The professor is very busy.

He doesn't have time.

But I need to ask about this book.

Why do you believe in those silly books?

I believe in it because I'm the woman in this book.

Follow me.

Hello, lady from the future. I'm Sam, Professor Sam.

You… You're the one who wrote that book?

Yes.

But how did you know about me and that boy?

It happened 20 years ago.

I remember the event 20 years ago very clearly.

If we can create a cloud that's electrically charged

enough to work with the compatible equipment,

time machines are possible.

Time machines?

Exactly.

Everyone thought I'd lost my mind

when I spent all my time researching breaches in time.

That was when that woman appeared.

That day, she told me the story, and I listened.

She told me a story that sounded impossible.

A meeting between her son and a woman from the future through the TV.

Leaving the question, could that actually happen?

At that time, I only dared to tell her that it might be possible.

Maybe.

Thank you, sir.

Bye.

After that, I became Phong.

To write the book about you in the hopes that someday you would appear

and my research would be completed.

Ms. Trang, can you tell me how your story ended?

I just want to know how to get back.

In theory, you can return on three conditions.

One, equipment. The actual TV and camcorder.

Second, location. You must be at Phong's house.

And third, the same electrical conditions

as the storm that was happening that time.

But what if the storm has already passed?

Then that opening will be forever closed, and you'll never be able to return.

At this time, Hurricane 11 is moving in a west-southwest direction

at 25 km per hour.

It is estimated that the destructive power of the storm will be at its highest

in the next eight hours before weakening and becoming a tropical depression.

It is recommended that all residents stay in their homes until the storm passes.

We'll continue to update you with further information.

Ms. Trang.

Why are you here? I didn't do anything wrong.

That's my car. The only way you're going to leave here.

After 20 years, a big storm and the name "Le Phong".

Though I didn't have many leads, I was able to find you.

Let's go back to the hospital, then let's go to the station.

What for? I don't have much more time.

The boy, Le Phong, is connected to a case that is presently under investigation.

Are you saying you want to go by yourself?

I know the case you're talking about.

I even know where they've hidden the body.

I think we need to negotiate.

OUTFALL NO. 3

Detective.

Looks like there's something here.

PARALLEL

SIX HOURS BEFORE THE STORM ARRIVES

So you're not letting me go yet?

We had an agreement.

Everything's changed. Now, you're a witness of a crime.

So I have to keep you to investigate.

But I don't have much more time.

Ms. Trang, have you ever questioned your life as it is right now?

You've never been married, have you?

I wish this was just a long dream.

Tomorrow morning, I'll wake up, and everything will return to normal.

I can only help you until here.

MIRAGE APTS, ROOM 501

What is this?

Didn't you say you wanted to find Le Phong?

-Yes. But why-- -Go!

Before I change my mind.

The city police have put out a warrant

for the arrest of Ms. Le Thi Duyen and Mr. Ha Quang Son.

They are suspects

-in a murder case where the body -You came here to watch the news?

was hidden near the hydroelectric dam 20 years earlier.

My name is Le Thi Duyen.

Tell us what your relationship is with Mr. Ha Quang Son.

We are husband and wife.

So, have you found the thing I requested?

Yes, we found it on Ms. Duyen's person.

Hello, sir.

Mr. Son, how do you feel upon seeing your wife again?

I don't understand what you're asking me.

As we're waiting for the results of the tests, let me tell you a story.

On exactly this date 20 years ago…

On an afternoon of a big storm,

there was a poor woman standing on the corner, looking towards a house.

She hesitated for a long while, then decided to walk towards the house

because she wanted to find someone in that house.

Or more correctly, find the truth.

The woman should have turned around and gone home.

-Nguyet? -What do you want?

There's someone I need to meet.

I'm here by myself.

I'm sorry.

-Phong. Le Phong. -Because, that way,

she could have avoided seeing a truth that hurt her deeply.

Hey, I have to go into the meeting now. Yeah, everyone's here. What?

Of course not. I love you, Bearcake.

That's my spot.

So you're the neighbor?

So you slept with this entire neighborhood, you old whore.

Shut up.

Yeah, I'm a whore, but at least I was able to give your husband a child.

What?

What is she talking about?

Huh?

Please don't say anymore.

You…

Honey.

Run.

Let me go.

Stop! Stop!

Anyone! Help me!

When you were doing this,

did you ever think about your child?

That's none of your business.

This is my personal affair. As long as I go home and do my duties as a husband.

Quan, I need to access your company's information.

No, you can't.

That's confidential.

Really? This seems pretty confidential too.

Do you recognize this necklace?

What necklace?

All right. I'll look for it.

Just follow the plan.

On November 23, 1999, at the Vietnam - Laos border,

Ms. Luong Thanh Thu crossed into Laos.

She used a fake passport because, at that time,

Ms. Thu was inside a barrel under the runoff of the hydroelectric dam.

The person who crossed the border was actually Ms. Le Thi Duyen,

the owner of this necklace. Your plan was perfect, except for one thing.

-No. -Give it back to me, please.

-No, -Phong.

-Le Phong... -Phong!

...the boy that picked up the necklace

and accused you of murder.

Phong!

That didn't happen.

He's a thief.

He's a liar.

Yes.

He's a liar.

He's a thief.

Or you turned him into a liar.

You made him a thief.

-Hello. -Hello.

-Just now, Phong was over at my house. -Yes.

He took my wife's necklace as a joke. I'd like to have it back, please.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

The boy became a thief

and a liar in the eyes of his own mother.

Give it to him.

At that time, that boy, Le Phong, was defeated by you.

But that boy never stopped looking for the truth.

There's only one person named Le Phong.

That's the only reason he's lasted until now.

So this guy lived in my house 20 years ago.

After 20 years,

the storm has returned and blown away all the lies that you created.

You mean…

Yes.

I am Le Phong.

It's time you paid for your crimes.

Right now, I'm in the western part of the city, and the rain is pouring down.

The wind has broken many branches,

making it extremely difficult to get around.

Luckily, the residents of the city have evacuated in time.

The storm will continue to move west-southwest

and is expected to be the strongest storm in five years.

OUTPATIENT DEPARTMENT

THE STORM ARRIVES

Phong.

Phong! Le Phong!

So you've come?

Why did you do that? Why did you joke around with me?

Because you saved my life.

After that, everything started to change.

Not long after, my family moved.

I had to see a therapist.

I wanted to end everything so I wouldn't have to suffer anymore.

But then… I thought of you.

I thought of the person that saved me.

The only clue I had was the clock.

I wanted to see you again to thank you.

I would always sit there, and the clock would always be running.

As for you, I never saw you.

I got hired as a postal delivery man there.

Until I was tired of waiting.

And I was afraid that I was delusional.

But just at that moment,

I saw you.

My past and my future met at that place and time.

You saved my life again.

You tricked me. I need the TV.

The TV… Where is it?

I need the TV.

I don't have much more time.

The TV.

I remember now.

I was always afraid this day would come.

The day you would disappear from my life.

Then it happened.

So you misidentified your husband?

You were treating me like a stranger.

I took you to Doctor Minh, but you still didn't remember anything.

Then you escaped the hospital.

And I looked for you everywhere.

Then, when I found you again, I followed you to make sure you were safe.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

It's okay. Everything is okay now.

You're back with me now.

Mommy!

I…

I can't. I can't stay here.

Why not?

I can't forget my daughter.

Puppy needs me.

But Puppy and that life don't exist.

It would have existed if you didn't look for me.

What about me? What am I to you?

I wish…

we would have met in a different way.

Trang.

What are you doing?

I know you still have the TV.

Calm down.

Tomorrow, everything will be back to normal.

Yes, tomorrow, everything will be back to normal.

Trang.

Don't you see this is unfair to me?

-Trang. -I saved you once.

Trang.

Now it's your turn to save me.

Trang.

-Phong. -Mister… Mister…

-Who are you? Mom! -Phong, I'm you in the future.

Dan Truong. Dan Truong.

"Rain On Our Love". Remember?

Where is the lady from the other day?

-Forget her. -Mister, I can't hear you.

-Phong. -Mister.

Don't look for her.

-Mister. -Don't look for her.

Then she will return.

Puppy!

Why are you crying, Mommy?

I love you.

Why are you getting so emotional so early in the morning?

Puppy, go and pack your things. We're going to Grandma's house for a few days.

Yeah! Let's go, Daddy!

-What's going on? -No school!

Today is our wedding anniversary.

Go celebrate with your girlfriend.

Mommy, why isn't Daddy going with us?

Because he has to go with someone more important.

Then let's leave him at home. Let's go!

Get on the bike.

Let's go.

POLICE DEPARTMENT

I'd like to report a murder.
