That Worm´s famous line:
Nothing´s lost forever
Say someone´s stolen your wallet
lt´ll show up in garbage cans within 1 km radius
because once the thief´s taken your money
he´d dispose your wallet at the nearest garbage can
We were strangers then
Bingo!
Got it!
l´ve never seen a more excited person playing with rubbish
l think of nothing
Playing with rubbish and living
are from the same basic rule
Yes, you can contact the client first
Okay
l go high-tea
Yes, bye
Hello, is this your phone?
Let me check you out first
l saw you fishing out wallets from the garbage can
This is my calling card
Lost & found is my trade
With your absent-mindedness?
Give me some proof first... Mr. Worm
l´m not Mr. Worm
Acting director: That Worm
So, you are Mr. Worm
That is your surname
Oh, no!
l´m from Mongolia, that Worm is my name
Like Genghis Khan is Genghis Khan no surname
Weird!
Not really! Like when searching...
One can´t afford to be presumptuous
There´s a sticker at the back of the phone
With my office´s number on it
231 18663
Alright!
Thank you
Hey, let me buy you a cup of tea!
No thanks, l have to look for something myself
Hey l´m your man
What l´m looking for is out your league
Nothing is lost for good, try me!
lf l couldn´t even give you a clue within 15 sec...
then feel free to go
l´ve lost hope
Can you find me hope?
The hope you´re looking for...
would it be a thing, or a person?
A person...
Yes... a person
Lost persons, pets anything you can think of
even ghosts
Ghosts?
You know, those pet ghosts people claim to own
One time, a client said he lost a pet ghost in a cab
So l informed all cab station
That night every cab driver in the city...
pulls up on every roadside
Doing what?
Running scares
Your scooter?
Yes, my place is nearby
Rule no.1 : time control
Every moment lost increases the searching perimeter
Come to my office now and fill me in
Time is running out
Worm believes he´s the only one who´d search with a vengeance
All because he´s professional
Almost like a psychiatrist who got paid to save other people´s pain
Since losing something can be as painful as anything
Good to see you here. This is for you
Thanks a lot
Have you found my Chinese scale yet?
Just can´t get a same one at the shop
Yes, l´ve found your scale
l threw it away anyway
To stop you from cheating your customers again
Keep up with date, man get a metric scale
Come
Your paper, Worm Thanks!
lt´s beautiful, you drew it?
For me? Thanks
My baby sister likes you!
You´re in luck, little baby is very selective whom to social with!
You like me too, right?
My office is upstairs
Have some cake first
l made it myself
Here it is
Ming, check it out with Mr. Cheung Go over everything
Over here
Fill up this form first
Here´s a price list, check it out
Jane, call up the cops about these wallets
Okay, no problem Thank you
When are you going to tell Chu?
l´ll talk to him, sooner or later
Sure, sure!
Hold it
Mr. Chu...
Mr. Worm, l´m not sure if you´re trying your best
We are trying our best!
Come over here
l´d like you to do the ´´Door-to Door search´´!
Really door to door search?
We did that, Mr. Chu
How about this ´´Sending a search-team to all possible locations´´?
Mr. Chu we´ll oblige your request
only if you start working again
You owe us too much money already
l´m working again
l´m selling congee on the street at night too
You´re missing a loved one too?
l´m trying to find my wife
l´m not sure what l´m looking for
That´s the toughest item...
Very expensive too
His name is Ted!... A sailor! Scottish!
A foreigner
Radio and newspaper ads would be useless
He speaks a little Chinese
l´m not sure if he could read Chinese
Last saw him 4 days ago
He could be gone by now
Hi, Mommy Jane
Those damn stairs...
like going on forever it´s killing me like hell
Why can´t she just stay home...
and look after her brothers and sisters
Who wants to work in this dump?
Jane, call up the Marine Department´s recruit center
See if they know of a Scottish guy called Ted
Okay, no problem
Move away
When do you get off?
Don´t know!...
Lost & Found Center
lt´s you again!
Pervert! Dare you call again!
Pervert! l´ll call the police
You shouldn´t have taken up this job in the first place
All these scrums you have to deal with
Eat your dinner!
We probably have to do ´´Door to door search´´
Now?
Yes, like l said before
Any moment lost increase the searching perimeter
You mean actually going door to door?
Selectively of course, agree?
$3,000?
First, we must know how to be selective
You´ve left out blank
Reason for the search
Personal reason
Well...
lt would help if you could tell me
l didn´t intend to keep any secret...
On the contrary l felt a big secret was going around
And nobody wanted to let me in
ln fact, to search for this secret
we must go back earlier
23
l thought you´re 21
How old are you, Uncle Tong?
63
Remember we have the same birthday?
You delivered me on your 40th birthday
Remember?
Lam
lt´s better for you to get a second opinion
You tell her, daddy!
You don´t trust your own diagnosis?
Another doctor would give me a month or two more?
l don´t mean that
Should l tell your dad or... l´ll tell him myself
Are you alright?
Are you still going?
Let me keep you company, alright?
Dance class at 1 1 , lunch with Tina...
Never mind me, go!... Go to work now
Lunch with Tina? That was yesterday?
l´m fine, you should be back at the radio station by now. l´m okay
Call me if you need call
l´ll wait for your call. Bye!
Downtown, Central a young lady, black-cut
Send an ambulance please
That´s Chai Lam
Chai Ming´s daughter. Trust me, it´s her
Are you sure that Chai Ming´s girl?
l´m certain l´ve seen her face on some magazines
Headquarters, it´s Chai Ming´s daughter
Yes, Chai Ming, the shipping magnate
Miss, are you alright?
The ambulance is coming
Wait, miss!
My father is forever encouraging us...
to be self-sufficient
He believes at the end, every person has only himself to lean on to
He also practices his preaching well
l´m the ninth child of twelve
When we were kids, our house was more like a boarding school than a home
My mom, no.2 with in the house
died of lung cancer 4 years ago
That´s how l first got horrified by cancer
Hasn´t Lam called yet?
No
l´ll check again
Chai Hong, stop wandering around
There´s one last item on the agenda
l´ve told you your sister wouldn´t mount up to anything
She´s an hour late, ridiculous!
What´s the matter?
A cramp
Don´t move...
Feeling better?
Yes, thank you
The lifts are out of order l know
This is 18 floor you walked all the way up?
l´m in a rush
To your dad´s office, l recognized you
Let me help you. 4 more floors No need!
l can manage, thanks
Look, l´m no pervert
l work on one of your dad´s ship
This is my l.D. card
l just came from the office
Let me help you
l´m fine, don´t bother
l´ll give you a hand
Meeting adjourned
Okay! l´ll give you 5 minutes
l graduated at the New York University last year
l´m a fine arts major minor in psychology
l´m not sure who´s more stubborn my dad or me
l wanted to work in this shipping company
He wanted to interview me... l agreed!
l´d never thought of inheriting his business
l wasn´t even in the line
l want to work in this company...
simply because l love the sea
As for my health here´s my medical report
lt´s just confirmed that l have leukemia
A 30% chance of recovery
l´m sure this is not an issue on my working ability
l didn´t mean to embarrass him
l only wanted to pick a situation
where neither of us can cry out
The driving range of Discovery Bay is quite good
A bit windy
But it´s okay
l´ve bought some new irons
l was there... yes, handicap 3
lt´s going to take days, this dripping
Yes!
The dose at one go would be too much to take
lt has to drip in slowly
And that´s only one of several doses
l´m sorry
Just take this as a short vacation
l want to throw up already
lt won´t act up so quickly stop imagining
She´ll be nauseous too?
Yes
Be good now, l know it´s painful
Just be patient
Excuse me
l´m sorry Uncle Tong
Why are you getting off? To go to work
You don´t work here
l just needed to pick up something okay?
This is your office, Miss Chai
l discovered that shipping has nothing to do with sea-loving
l know nothing about shipping
More sadly l know nothing about the sea
l had this recurring nightmare
l was repeatedly rushing onto nowhere in the city
and l just couldn´t stop
l had this urge to crash through anything
My mom struggled against cancer for 4 years
l´m sure l don´t have her courage
l hope for an almighty magician...
to make my illness disappear
That was the second time l saw Ted
l couldn´t start to describe him
Yee. You walk too fast
Don´t you feel the beat?
l´m telling you, you can sing
Teddy wants to sign you
You know my family won´t like it
l won´t pitch you against your dad
But it is different now
l can´t say l know how you suffer all these pain
l only know if you can´t change the fact
Why not got out with a bang!
l might not be your best friend
But l´m the one with most fun, right?
Stick with me for some laughs at least
l´ve changed the key, should be right now
That´s what you said every time
Lone, what a surprise
l´ve just thought of something l must tell you
Now?
What?
l said let´s get married
How´s everything?
l´m leaving
What´s the matter?
He wants us to get married now
Sounds reasonable
Don´t you plan to anyway?
With him by your side it would give you strength, right?
l don´t think so either
Please sign here, Miss Chai
Okay
The boss´s daughter´s here, go ask her
You can´t lay-off us without proper notice
No compensation and no overtime payment?
Yes, at least let us present our case
lt´s out of hand here, call the police
ls that right? Call the police?
Let´s show them some muscles
Calm down now. Stop it right here
Calm down. She´s a girl
What happens?
She´ll be fine
Just get some rest
Thank you
Dad? She´s alright now
No need to go to hospital
How are you?
Hi! How are you doing?
Thank you
No problem
As long as l´ve got a chance to hold you l´m happy
l´ve got something for you l go get it
you wait here
Can l come on board?
Of course, it´s your father´s ship
This is the bridge
There´s no girl sailor, right?
l haven´t seen one
Come to think of it, there are none
l knew it, traditionally...
...no women ever inherit a shipping business either
Don´t know cargo ships are so modified and clean
You think sleep 30 men in one room put them all in hammocks?
Yes, and there are slaves locked up in the galley
Sit in rows and rowing long cars
An one-eyed captain with a wooden leg
with a parrot on the shoulder
Maybe in my grandfather´s time
Your grandfather?
Yes
This is my cabin, l´ll fetch for you
Can l take a look?
Sure
Your shoe
Thanks
Your grandfather´s sailor too?
Yeah, you want a coke?
Where did you come from?
Here
The edge of the world
The edge of the world?
The edge of the world
You see!
My grandfather told me, our ancestors
they were Vikings
The Vikings from Scandinavia? Yes
You see long time ago
They were sailing
They came to the place call the edge of the world
And they settle there
ls this the place?
Yeah! That´s a picture of it
That´s where my grandfather was born
And just like the others they went to Scotland
to find work
So after that they all became Scotsman
My mother
she´s Chinese
They´re back, l have to make dinner
Make dinner?
Yeah, l´m the chef
Really?
Really!
You want to stay here for dinner?
l´d better not, maybe next time
l should treat you dinner sometime
l´ll let you make your dinner
lt´s alright
When´s the ship leaving?
ln a few days
Okay, bye bye
Bye!
Be careful
Waiting for someone, Miss Chai? Yes
That´s all l can find
Take a look
ls that all?
So heavy, you owe me a favour
Okay. Let me have look first
Hi, Kelly Hi
How are you? Fine, thank you
These are the books that you asked for Okay
And this book you´ll be particularly interested
Where´s my pay?
ln day or two
That´s what you said last time
l´ll come back tomorrow
lt´ll sail out in 3 days
We have to put in some O.T
And we are short of labour
lt is going to be difficult
But the money always talk
We must decide earlier though
We need some time to recruit new labour
Okay
l´m sorry, Bill
You have to come all the way from downtown
lt´s okay
l´ve heard of the edge of the world
lt´s somewhere here supposing
But better yet l have someone who knows these water well
l´ve asked him to come along
And he is here already
Ted, this is Miss Chai
Hi Pleasure
You must curious to know why
You are the one who´s curious
What do you want to know?
l´ve read a book about this island...
An island has a lot of graveyards?
Yes my home island has a lot of graveyards
Really? ls it the edge of the world?
Go on
There are only few people left all old people too
And they have lesser and lesser means to survive
Yeah!
You see all the younger generations´ gone
They only have two reasons why they go back
One is to bring the deceased back to be buried
and the other is to bring you back to be buried
All the tombstone face the ocean
All slandering towards the sky
Why?
They are dead and they still want to leave?
lt´s the edge of the world where else can they leave for?
Doesn´t matter whether you´re staying or leaving
Home is always home
Nobody will forget their homes
This is a picture of my grandfather
They´re in Scotland
There is a day in every year
When the cold front from the ocean meets the warm front from England
And on this day they all come to the cliff
to let the warm current to bring their hearts home
That´s what you to know?
l thought you want to know more about me
Yes, l want to know about you
So l want to know the place you from
Now you´re not so sure
You shouldn´t think so much about death
Thank you
Dad is right He worries about your health
he´s not saying you can´t handle the work
This is nothing job to start with anyway
lf that´s how you think of dad
you don´t understand his point of view
My days at the dock were over
l wasn´t supposed to go back
Ted´s ship is gone
But Ted isn´t on board at all
He hasn´t left any contact
Eventually, even my trustworthy doctor Uncle Tong
couldn´t treat me anymore He retired after a heart attack
l´m not going to be as kind as Dr. Tong
My patient has to absolutely discipline
These medicine are a little different
They are pills, no painful injections
But would they act up like those injections?
l´ll still be nauseous and... losing my hair?
Of course, that´s the price you have to pay to get well
Sorry!
No bus, take taxi
Bingo!
l haven´t told him who am l and why l should find Ted
What´s this place?
Sailor´s home
Sailor´s home? Yes
You are a kindergarten teacher
Me? Do l look like one?
You´re wrong!
l though you only need to know why l search for this guy
Now you want to know about me?
That was the first time l saw May
but she treated me like an old friend
and it doesn´t seem out of turn either
Then Worm said she´s friendly to her customers too
May draws an in-and-out chart of all vessels in the harbour everyday
Worm said next to the Marine Department
she´s the most knowledgeable of the local maritime activities
No, thanks
So you like the sea?
Yes, l like the sea
Worm asked May where most sailors stay recently
May asked us to take her down the pier
There used to be big ships and war ships all over
Please, hurry Be patient
The Salvation Army Hotel off the market
The Y.M.C.A. on the Ladder Street
The Moon Flower lnn at spring Breeze Lane
Worm said May was a bit lunatic
But l said those who loves the sea couldn´t be too crazy
Let´s call it a night
Why? l´ll pay you over time
Not just that
lt´s so late now lf he´s gone, he´s gone
lf not, he´ll be sleeping somewhere
You haven´t told me the reason yet
l know
you´re dancer
What makes you think that?
Sailor and dancer, it just gels
lt gels
Here´s the change
Thanks Check it
Why not stay longer?
The ship is leaving
Can l leave my luggage here? l´ll come back for it
Thanks
You can check the register list
l only come from holiday tonight
l couldn´t have seen him anyway
Can we check your guest list of the past few days?
They are locked in the office
And everyone´s off now
lf nothing on the list
he might have checked out already
This is the last on my list
See, this must be a first time customer
l bet he rarely eat out too
Doesn´t even know the best dish here
This guy probably just have a fight with his wife
He´s mixing up all the hot sauces
What a mess! Not enjoying either
You look prettier every time
Go on and order anything
My auntie owns this place
Why so funny?
The wig looks like a bird nest
You shouldn´t laugh
One time a guy offered me $10,000
to find his wig
l said a new one only costs a couple of thousand
He said it would never be the same
l found his wig
l´d never seen a happier person
Then l realized, a wig is not just a wig
it´s his whole self-esteem
l grew up on the Mongolian steppe
Sometimes you could hardly see anyone else
Here, there are millions of people
and millions different stories
Only now l realize that Worm is basically a lonely person
Lose & found is an excuse
for him to reach out and touch the world
l know who you are
Stop this silly guessing game of yours please!
Don´t try to fit me into...
one of your million stories
l wasn´t sensitive enough then... to embrace his idiosyncrasies...
or anyone else´s
Now what?
we must expand the perimeter
Fresh salmon from Scotland
Want to try some?
Hotels
You mean everyone in the book?
Needle in a haystack, right?
For sure, there are millions of people in the city... start from where?
l want to ask you
what´s your success rate?
Depends on what to be found
Average, in general
10 to 20 percent
That´s always unsuccessful
But the point is nothing´s guaranteed
but trying to keep the hope live
You´re either too native
Or you´re only cheating your clients
Nothing is lost forever!
What´s this word?
Scotland
We´re in business again
Let´s go
Could be him: 6ft, sort of a beard
A foreigner´s face
lt must be him
How long has he gone?
you´ve just missed him
He said he´s heading to the airport
Thanks
Come back get on
Down there
Him?
Foreigner!
What´s his name again?
Are you alright? Alright
Where are you going?
To catch a plane, to Scotland
My grandfather just died
l´m sorry
l´m not going to be a Sailor anymore
No, why not?
l have to take care of my grandfather´s inn
l want to bring his ashes back to his homeland
Are you going or not, man?
ln a minute, sorry
Would you take me to the edge of the world. Please?
Anytime!
Now?
l´ll tell you what
l go back first
l´ll take of my grandfather´s business
Then you can come
l´ll take you to the edge of the world
Here´s the address
How do you find me?
Him
He found you
My card, Mr. That Worm, is me!
Lost & found Yeah
Great
He speaks Chinese
Are you going or what?
l´m coming
l must go
l´ll wait for you there
Thank you for everything
Now l know who you are, his girl!
Silence means no, right?
My mistake
To Scotland via Holland next week
Thanks
Going to school? Where´s your sister?
Jane´s taking care of her
Go now
See you
Your grand-daughter?
Oh! No! My grand-daughter´s in high school now
She just helps me out here
Hasn´t she got a home?
What a sad story to these sisters
Their mom ran away their dad´s never home
So l sort of them here at the stall...
And take care of their meals everyday
Jane baby-sits the young one upstairs while the older one is at school
Hi! Little baby
You even don´t take care of your own siblings
But you do that for others!
What kind of job is this?
And the pay is ridiculous
Morning little baby
l´m sorry, l´m in your way
lt´s okay
Morning
Join us for breakfast?
Okay
You look so pale
l´m okay
Some food will do you good
Freshly cooked
Thank you
Morning baby
She won´t answer you
We don´t talk, do we?
Why she couldn´t talk?
When she was one, her mom ran off
She spoke only one word Mom
Now she refuses to speak at all
Not to me, not anyone
Here´s your breakfast
What´s the medicine for look so serious!
Asthma, really serious
How´s your foot?
lt has swollen up this morning
l´m so sorry. All because of me
Don´t worry
Here´s $3,000, thanks
Hello, you´ll search for anything won´t you?
Sure, what are you searching for?
Red-beak duck
You hurt your foot because of me
l should return a favour
We do hire part-time worker
But only on commission not very good money
l have time anyway, commission, so be it
How much do you think is in that piggy bank?
Stop it
Watch out, my boss is a mean guy
He hires us handicaps because we work for peanuts
Greedy merchant
Alright, you might as well go see what she´s up to
Ting Ting took me to a rose garden that roses never grow
Miss Chai Yes
Thanks for taking care of her
Daddy has to stay with mommy at the hospital for a few nights
Auntie Chiu next door will look after you
And she´ll cook for you, okay? Okay
Bye Bye
You mustn´t lie again, okay?
Just this once. Can´t let him know
Ting´s parents grew plants for city hall...
One day, her mommy asked her daddy
From when we met and married; to the birth and growth of our daughter
how come you never send me flowers?
Daddy answered l´ve never thought of it since we´re around flowers everyday
Next day mommy received a bunch of roses
from daddy and was elated
From then daddy sent mommy roses everyday
Mommy was happy
But frowned on the money spent
Then daddy decided to plant a rose garden for his wife
But for a year, not even a single flower
Then the wife had to check into hospital due to kidney failure
l know dad wishes the rose will blossom
Mom will be happy seeing roses
lf she feels happy, she will recover
Dad said mommy needed a big operation
She might not be able to see the flower bloom
This used to be a vegetable garden
One season, winter melons came out...
twice the usual size
Ting´s daddy explained there were passing wild ducks
They passed by and fertilized the field
So, those winter melons grew bigger
Ting Ting believed if the red-beak ducks would just return...
Roses would blossom in the rose garden
You´ve actually promised her?
Yes, you are the one who said ´´Nothing is lost forever´´
But who says...
Needle in the haystack
That l´m too naive
Or l´m hustling the clients
Not a good proposition
Of course not
Those flat-beak ducks are wild ducks
Where to fetch them and how?
lt´s red-beak duck not flat-beak duck
Say we can locate the duck
How are we going to fly them there?
And the roses, will they then bloom?
And the mother, will she recover?
The odds are far too long
l would not look at it this way
lf her mother is to die
the child has to face the sad truth even 10-year-old kids or not
But in this 10-year-old mind the only hope is...
...to search for those flat-beak ducks
lf she doesn´t try to realize this hope
she will blame herself later
That´s why she comes all this way to us
Even if we fail to find the ducks
At least she will have a peace mind
Hey, the rose garden is actually close to the wild-life reservation area
This soil isn´t really perfect for roses
lt may still do... at least the branches seem healthy
What about these duck?
Animal droppings can be nourishing for sure
ln France, they use cow dung sometimes
But red-beak duck is out of my league
Let me do some tests on these soil samples first, okay?
Take your medicine first
l´ll take you to the movie later
Look who´s talking!
You yourself haven´t been to a movie before
lt´s beautiful, you drew this too?
Know what, that little girl could well be a child prodigy
Really? How do you know?
Just guess
After some serious studies
Worm figures using live fish-bait to lure the ducks
Look at that silly guy, he´s having fun
Thank to you
Why?
You know, the things we´re hired to find
Wallets, pets...
And mobile phones the most requested, so boring!
Here we are trees and land under the big sky
Searching for...
How should l say...
Something of life-saving vitality
l don´t mean to be corny
When Worm first came
he didn´t speak the language didn´t know a soul
He drove a cab but couldn´t recognized direction
always got into troubles
l told him to go back to Mongolia and raise horses instead
Since he´s such a wide-eyed pony himself
You have read our service item list right?
´´Sending a search team to all possible locations for thorough searching´´
Or ´´Worldwide skyline internet round-chase´´
Sound more like a spy movie
But this is something else really... thank to you
l´m not sure if this formula going to work or not
l´ll double the dose
lf it works, it works superbly
You walk so fast
Can´t you feel the beat?
What beat?
You really want me to sing? Okay
The sun will rise again...
Looking out for paradise
What to be in paradise
Looking out for paradise
The hides behind cloudy sky
Searching for a paradise
But paradise in disguise
Running out of space to find
All but for some peace of mind
Somewhere birds are flying
Where the sun will shine in this morning
Things that touch my heart string
Will soon be here awaiting
Suddenly! l realize
Never mind where´s paradise
Hope is always by your side
Paradise is where love lies
ls Judy there please?
Judy, this is Lam
l´d like to postpone my flight to Scotland
For a week
May 28, Okay!
Via Holland, Okay, thanks!
Let´s go upstairs
Somewhere birds are flying
Where the sun will shine in the morning
Things that touch my heart string
Will soon be here awaiting
Suddenly l realize
Never mind where´s paradise
Hope is always by your side
Paradise is where love lives
Why staring at me
Just lucky
Really, pure luck
Yes, just lucky
He wouldn´t know it
But in my mind, he´s the magician
The guy... is crazy!
We only promised the kid to find those ducks
Mission impossible is accomplished
You think the flowers will make her mom recover?
That´s the logic of a ten-year-old girl
Look, anything is possible now
A week ago, we´re ignorant of duck of any beak
Red-beak! To be precise
Who would have thought we are experts on flat-beak duck
Now, we know their habitat we know their feeding habit
There´re something called transplant in gardening
Keung, the florist, told me
He´ll be coming with me
He´ll bring the flowers on a discount in gardening
Really? Count me in
Why don´t you just stick in the flowers?
lt´s cheating anyway
lf there´s one line of hope to save a life
What does it matter, cheating or not?
Just like you lie to Chu?
Who´s Chu?
The guy who´s looking for his wife the guy who sells congee
He´s gone nuts
Crazy!
They said l was crazy then when l opened up this business
So, you´re not coming? l´ll just go with Kueng
Crazy...
Look like there are buds on each branch
Really? Really?
Seems like, but l´m not too sure
So are there buds or not?
Aren´t you an expert?
Listen l´m only a florist, not a gardener
Everything l sell are blossoming already
When can we be sure?
ln the morning When we can see more clearly?
Come back in the morning
We´re here, let´s wait in the van
and keep checking
Now you´re really crazy
lt´ll be a long night l´d rather sleep in a bed
l´ll take the bus back to town
You´re coming, Ming? l´d like to stay
But more chance for a miracle if they are left alone
You need this more
You´re not leaving?
You take this
l´ll take a look again
You took a look 15 mins ago. Too soon!
The buds don´t seem to grow at all
How would you notice when you check every 10 mins!
Right! You haven´t said anything about yourself yet
l´m not going to guess anymore
Speak up!
l have a question for you first
Okay!
How do you lie to Mr. Chu he who´s lost his wife?
Actually we´ve found his wife
She´s dead
We dare not tell him yet
l´m quite sure Chu is the suicidal kind
lf he killed himself that wouldn´t be the end of it
He has four kids...
that need to be fed, to go to school
That´s why you urge him to work harder and save up more money
We´re going tell him the truth sooner or later
Sooner or later
l´ll go check the buds anyway
Okay
Why didn´t you wake me up?
You were sound asleep
Oh great! Oh, Joe´s formula works
They´re going to operate on Ting´s mom
lt would forever be a mystery that it was Joe´s formula
or the ducks´ droppings that worked...
or the flowers themselves were supposed to bloom anyway?
Never mind!
Stop that
They´re going to operate on Ting´s mom
Her father took Ting to the hospital two nights ago
to stay with her mom
The words are her mom is not going to make it
l´m not sure what we have done
For the little girl, for her mother
or just satisfy ourselves
3 days later, Ting Ting called and...
said her mom had gone
she thanked us anyway...
Her daddy wanted to put the roses in the funeral...
But the father and daughter decided...
to leave the roses where they were...
That day, the sun shone glamorously...
the roses must be so beautiful
Give this back to her please
Mr. Worm
l´ve saved up $50,000
We can start doing that...
sending a search team to all possible locations for thorough searching
Have you found what you lost?
l want to tell him his wife is dead
Which is more cruel the truth or the lie?
lf you were to die
should you keep it from someone you care about?
The thing for you to do is to make money
And take care of your kids send them to school
l´m doing all that now
The stairs are steep and smelly
What a garbage dump this is?
Only my stupid daughter fell into your trap
You blood-suckers!
Aren´t you off yet, Jane?
Just a few more calls to make
But this is Saturday
And they´re not paid for that
l´m not going to wait for you
l´m coming
Hurry up! l don´t have a life time to wait for you
You´ve lost weight again watch your diet
You´ll get sick for not eating properly understand?
You should follow my advice more!
l´ll help you. Let me give you a hand No need...
l can manage, Miss, thanks
Are you sure? l´m used to it, l do it everyday
Let me help l´m fine
Be careful!
Stay home! Don´t show up again
Fat chance, scum!
Everyday, she carries Jane for blocks
Coming to work and back delivers her lunch
Never needing our help
l must go, l´m sorry
At that moment l decided that
There were no magic and no magicians in the world
Little sister is lost!
l´ve searched through the neighbourhood no sign of her
How far can a 3 years old go?
There´re a lot of child kidnapping lately
Any particulars about her?
Asthma Oh! Yes!
Has she taken her medicine yet?
No
Sir
The kid has serious asthma
lt could be fatal
But l´m only have to gather information
l´m not in charge
Let me call up headquarters
Thank you
lt´s been almost 4 hours
She couldn´t have disappeared on her own
Must find her
l´ll try that restaurant
What´s on a 3-year-old mind?
l´ll be genius it l knew
Not there
What are you looking at?
This looks familiar, isn´t it?
A child prodigy
Let´s go
Have you seen a little girl this tall?
No...! This tall
Get your tickets!
l´ll get it
l look over there
Lam has awoken
lt has turned to be serious anemia
The count of platelet is also low
You must have dumped my medicine
She must discipline herself
A doctor can only do so much
l´d like to keep her here
Maybe for a month
l never thought my father cared...
until my brother told me something while l was in hospital
Dad!
How´s it? ls she okay?
She´s fine, she could continue her work
That Worm came over here
twice last night and once this morning
He knows...
who you are and your illness
He seems to care very much
With a lot of compassion, l´ll say
Doctor Chan
Yes
l´ll like to talk with you
alone please
Dr. Chan l know you´re a straight-forward person
What´s the odds now?
lt has worsened. To say the least...
that´s always a chance, though slim
Okay
lt´s also up to you and your will power
and you must follow my prescription
That Warm
Mr. Worm
Excuse me, l´m not Mr. Worm
That Worm, just That Worm
Okay...
As much as l´ve been informed Lam´s been hanging around with you
And...
thank you
Let´s go see Lam Okay
She didn´t utter one word
Don´t even look my way
At least, l know who you are
And l thought l was observant
l am so stupid
l´m not even qualified to handle any lost and found work
Maybe you´re right
l´m too naive
And to look for what´s lost
in such tremendous world
is indeed like looking for a needle in a haystack
But you know me
As long as one looks, there´s still hope
Otherwise, it´s hopeless
Which is more cruel to leave him cold now?
l dare not whisper a word
nor to take one glance at him
or l might not be able to persist with my decision
Where are you going?
l´m in a hurry
Wait for me
Michelle, come on
Our bread and butter is here, come on
Can you please picture him and me? Thank you
My grandfather and she were partners
She´s our housekeeper´s daughter
l just do it to help her to make a little money from the tourist
Are you alright?
l´m fine
Look at this
This is one of the best salmon rivers in Scotland
Beautiful, isn´t it?
Really beautiful
Do you know how l located you back then?
Of course!
A Mr. Lost & Found
Because of salmon, salmon from Scotland
Really?
Yes
Then, Ted said something that touched my wounded heart
he says nature is fascinating...
Those on the top may return to the sea
and what´s in the sea might return to the mountain...
Like the salmon
they would fight their way back up the river where they´re born
When they get there, they make love
Then, they five birth of young salmon
And then they just die
Sorry, l shouldn´t have said that
When l first got the news of my illness
l had an irrepressible urge to have a baby
Tell me that´s what you have in mind...
when you first know me
Of course not
Don´t know about you
There´s something romantic about the salmon
See there´s an folklore
To get pregnant, you need 3 ingredients
First, a new moon
You gotta have a new moon
The second thing is
you need flowers petals flying in the sky
And the third
Salmon caviar
You see, tonight, there´ll be a new moon
With a little luck
the breeze will kick up all the flower petals
and spread them all across the mountain
The hotel tonight... our menu
We have salmon caviar
lt´s true!
But today is the 3rd day of the 5th moon
And this is the year of the rat
That´s correct, today´s favorable for getting pregnant
But only before noon
Now it´s 3 p.m. l´m sorry the time is out. Sorry!
Wait a minute... make it slow
According to the Royal astronomy club it says that
That Chinese astrology is only valid east of Greenwich
You see
Here
We´re about 3.2 degree west of the Greenwich
So, we´re okay
Who said so?
Marco Polo
Marco Polo? Yes
Marco Polo is ltalian, not even British
Anyway, what do you want a boy or a girl?
A girl, certainly a girl
This is your salmon caviar enjoy your dinner
lt´s going to be chilly l´ve got you some wood
lt´s probably the last fire of the season
Summer is coming!
You know all the stuffs l told you about the folklore
lt´s all true
But only for having a boy, not a girl
lt´s bad luck for me
Goodnight
How´s my cooking?
Yummy. l ate it all, see
Tomorrow, l´ll take to the edge of the word
Tomorrow?
Too soon? No
l´ll show you something late
What is it?
We´ll see
A strange sense of tragic loneliness creeps through
as we walk further and further
Ted said this is the village where the islanders settled in
after they left The edge of the world...
lf this would be the new world they left their homeland then?
What kind of a good-forsaken place they had left behind then?
Are you okay?
l´m okay
Then l remember Worm´s words
One can never be presumptions...
Ted said living here
on one hand we have to fight with the nature
We should follow the law of nature on the other
Who would have noticed under such unfavourable conditions
traces of life still oozing in their terms
The edge of the world over there?
Yes
Soon a warm current will come across the coastline
Today is the day the cold current changes to warm current?
l remember you told me no one will forget their homeland
Last night l realized that l missed a place
You missed somebody too
How do you know?
Mr. Lost & Found
l´m sorry
l want to go home
That´s easy
Someone´s here to take you
After fishing yesterday l went into town and...
found this guy wandering around with a postcard in his hand
asking direction in Chinese
l offer to take him with me
l supposed he was looking for you
since you´re the only Chinese around
Besides myself of course
He didn´t think you would want to see him
l told him he´d better come see for himself
Sending a search team to all possible locations for a thorough search
Negotiable price
Mission accomplished
Worm and l got married
He returned to his work
and l continued my treatment
But as we´ve learned from our rose garden
Life often takes its own turns...
At least, l´ve tried
Wai surprised everyone with her show of strength...
Thank you
Nice apartment
l rent it
Good taste
Yee refused to accept the fact that out of character, but l was touched
You arranged for Lam´s audition don´t you?
l have nothing to do with it
My producer asked her to
Thank you
Hello!
Sorry l´m late for the funeral
lt´s okay. Come in
Thank you
Worm, l´m sorry
Are you alright?
l´m okay
l wanted to come earlier couldn´t get a ticket
lt´s high season
How´s business of your hotel?
lt´s okay
Are you alright?
Yes
Everybody´s here, let´s take a picture
Okay, everybody
l got pregnant by accident soon
after the wedding
l made a choice
and l will never regret it
Who will take the baby daddy or grandpa?
Daddy will take you
Just like your dad, don´t you? Yeah
Good
Move over a bit, yes, smile! Okay!
l´d never been a good daughter...
l hope my daughter will bring him joy and affection like l never did before
The big secret that l thought nobody ever let me in
l think l know what it is now
that every bit and piece of life can be magic...
and everyone can be a Magician
