Mommy?
:28:04
Mama? Mama?
:28:08
Mama! Wake up!
:28:11
Hurry, wake up!
:28:15
Mama!
:28:18
They were doing nothing...
:28:20
only waiting
for my mother to die.

:28:24
Second Wife told me
my mother had died by accident...

:28:28
taking too much opium.
:28:30
- Lies! I know my mother
killed herself on purpose.
- Mommy!

:28:37
She had eaten
sticky sweet dumplings...

:28:39
one after the other,
filled with opium.

:28:43
When the poison
broke into her body...

:28:47
she whispered to me that she would
rather kill her own weak spirit...

:28:52
so she could give me
a stronger one.?

:28:56
Mama! Mama!
:29:06
Mama?
:29:07
Can you see?
:29:10
Can you see
I am no longer scared?

:29:14
I am strong now.
:29:17
I see clearly now...
:29:19
what's true and what's false.
:29:28
My mother chose
the date of her death...

:29:31
to give me the power
over her enemies.

:29:45
My mother's ghost will return
in three days to settle scores.

:29:48
That day will be
the Lunar New Year.

:29:51
All debts must be paid by then.
:29:53
Or horrible tragedies
will befall you.
