as a monkey or a child.)
(Taking advantage of
one's sense of guilt,)
(it makes people
lose their minds...)
Lin Li-shui
(Missing Person)
Shui.
Come back soon.
I'm waiting for you
to sing together.
(Yi-chun: Have you
got up, lazy boy?)
(Just got off work. Goodnight!)
Wei.
Get up.
Get up!
Fuck!
Why didn't the alarm go off?
Grandma.
Grandma, why didn't
you wake me up?
Grandma.
Grandma, did you
turn my alarm off?
No, and I tried to wake you up.
It's alright. Come
have breakfast!
You didn't come home till
four in the morning.
You slept for only few hours.
One needs six to
eight hours' sleep.
I can't afford that now!
You work so hard every day.
You're bound to
ruin your health!
Always come home so late.
You hadn't come
home when I got up!
Hey, sit down and
eat properly, okay?
What's her name? She's
coming for dinner tonight?
Yi-chun. Shen Yi-chun.
It's better to eat at home.
Food in the restaurants
isn't clean.
Home-made food is
clean and safe.
Right, listen to me.
You keep quiet when she is here.
Let me question her tonight.
Why don't you get married
after four, five years?
Why?
We're not good enough for her?
If you're going to talk nonsense,
I won't bring her home.
You're always like this
when I bring it up.
Hey, you!
Your lunch box!
Lunch.
Silly boy.
Shu-fang.
Ho Wen Shu-fang.
Shui.
Ho Wen Shu-fang.
Hello. Good morning everyone!
I'm Yi-chun, the
stand-in DJ for today.
It's time for Love
Moring Roll-call!
What exactly is the end of love?
Marriage?
Some say marriage is
the tomb of love.
I wonder how you feel about it.
Let's take some calls.
Oh...
Yeah, it's really the tomb.
I have to look after not only
my kids but parents-in-law.
I'm working like a slave.
And have to serve my
difficult mother-in-law.
Hui-chun, have you discussed
it with your husband?
Yes.
Whenever we talk about his mom,
he gets angry.
His mom is always right.
But he has only one mother.
What can I do?
Okay, thanks for your call.
My boyfriend's grandma
nags all the time.
But actually, I envy you
as you've family with you.
Not everyone is as
lucky as you...
(Grandma)
Let me play you a
nice song first.
We'll take more calls
after the break.
Good morning, everyone!
Good morning, sir!
Okay, let's shout the slogan.
Sincerity is everything!
Sincerity is everything!
Chu-shan Estate Agency!
Chu-shan Estate Agency!
Professional! Reliable!
Professional! Reliable!
Energetic!
Yes?
There is room for negotiation.
(Grandma)
Hi, Mr. Ho. Here we are!
Mr. and Mrs. Lin.
Let's go up.
105 square meters.
At the end of the
block, it's light.
It feels airy with
all these windows.
If we are done here,
let's go back to the office
and go over the details.
Sure.
Please wait for me outside.
Let me turn the light off.
Yes
Grandma?
Grandma?
(Call Grandma)
Let's ask him.
Mr. Ho, shall we go?
Yes, sorry for keep you waiting.
Let's go back to the office.
It's 9.45 in the evening.
I'm Yi-chun.
Thank you for listening
to our program.
Wish you a very good evening.
Goodnight.
Yi-chun, I'm sorry.
This is my daughter.
Bei-bei.
Don't run around in the
studio, understand?
Say hello to Auntie Yi-chun.
Auntie Yi-chun
Bei-bei, how old are you?
I'm three years old.
Bei-bei.
Three is like this.
Don't run around like this.
You'll disturb their work.
How come you have time
to see me tonight?
Haven't seen you for ages!
Thought you might have
eloped with someone!
Oh, well. Good to
know you're worried.
Hey.
Grandma has cooked a lot.
Let's eat at home, alright?
Please...
Alright.
Does Grandma remember
my name or not?
Yes, she does.
She definitely does!
Does she remember yours?
Of course she remembers mine!
Yeah?
Let me take you
to a place first.
What place?
Guess!
You're selling it?
Miss. Shen.
A luxurious four-bedroom
family apartment.
Brand new steel and
concrete structure.
Windows on all walls.
You've got the most beautiful
view of Taipei city!
Even playing a song?!
My latest service.
Viewing the property
while dancing!
Here is the living room.
Oh!
I'm going to put an
enormous sofa...
...in here.
Your music doesn't go
well with your dance!
Come!
Come see this room.
This one...
It's the master bedroom.
It comes with a brand
new double bed.
Come. Come.
Don't jump into someone's bed!
- So soft.
- What?
It'll get dirty.
Let's get down.
Okay, let's get down.
I'm getting down...
You're acting so weird today.
Wait.
You've got any condom with you?
We'll get married anyway.
If you get pregnant,
we'll have a child!
Who wants to have
a child with you?
Or who do you want
have children with?
Well.
Haven't we talked about
it so many times?
I'll be angry if
you do it again.
This property...
I already paid the deposit.
You did?
How much did you pay?
I mortgaged Grandma's house
and paid the deposit.
The rest is enough for the
first year's payment.
- Within a year...
- Did you
tell Grandma about it?
Trust me, the location is good.
In two years, the price
is bound to soar.
I can make at least five
million when I sell it.
And then we can get married
and have children...
But it's all in the future...
We won't be able buy it
when the price soars up.
No, it's not the problem.
What if Grandma
thinks it's my idea?
She won't think it's your idea.
How do you know?
Okay.
If you insist on buying,
you move in with Grandma.
I'll live in my own place.
I marry you because I
want to live with you.
What do you mean me
living with Grandma?
And you still live
in your place?
No.
Marriage isn't in my plan.
How many times have
we talked about it?
Why don't you want
to get married?
Why in a hurry?
We've been together
for five years.
Five years!
What else do we need?
- What is not there?
- I've told you that
marriage isn't in my plan!
I'm exhausted.
I haven't slept
for twenty-four hours.
Do we have to talk
about it today?
I'm sorry.
Grandma, Yi-chun is here!
Grandma has cooked
a lot of food.
Need any help to re-heat it?
Yeah, thanks.
Grandma?
Grandma...
You're going out?
Shui's come back.
I'm going to hers for karaoke.
Auntie Shui's back?
It's late to meet up!
Grandma, I need to talk
to you about something.
You're still angry at me?
The pig trotter
was really yummy.
I ate it all.
Don't stay out too late!
Wei.
Who are you talking to?
Grandma.
Grandma?
She seems a bit angry at me...
Never mind, let's
eat on our own.
(Ho Wen Shu-fang Day 1)
Shui!
Come on, everyone!
Shui's back!
Fuck!
Grandma, don't turn my
alarm off again, okay?!
You're back after seven days!
It's truly god's blessing.
I told you firecrackers worked!
Did you eat anything?
- See?
- We should have done it earlier!
We really should!
Good we let off firecrackers.
Safety is everything.
You made us so worried.
Uncle Kun.
Did you see my grandma?
No.
Ah, she...
Now she...
- Did anyone call her family?
- Yeah.
- Go tell them.
- Auntie Shui.
Tell them she's back.
It's good you're safe.
We were so worried.
Did you see my grandma?
I'm sorry...
I'm sorry.
What are you sorry for?
It's not my fault.
What happened?
Don't be fooled by her!
Shui, what are you sorry for?
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
A parcel for Ho Chih-wei.
Everyone is having so much fun!
Everyone, look over here.
Lin Li-shui, look!
You can't call people's full
names in the mountains!
And don't pat people
on their shoulders.
Why not?
If you call someone's full name,
and he turns around,
he'll be caught to replace
someone else in the woods.
Really?
Hey, do you smell
something weird?
- Do you?
- I caught the smell just now.
It smells like a dead rat.
No, it's not the
smell of a dead rat.
Well, I think the
toilet is blocked.
Really? How come I
can't smell it?
How can you not smell it?
It's really bad!
Didn't you take the garbage out?
It smells rotten.
It's so dirty!
Uncle Kun.
Is this Auntie Shui's camera?
Yes, it's Shui's camera.
How did you get it?
Do you know where
Auntie Shui's house is?
Here is her house.
Why is the door left open?
They were here when I
came this morning.
How could this happen?
Let me find the light switches.
What are you doing?
Nothing.
Come help me!
I haven't turned
the power on yet.
Are you all right?
(Grandma, whenever
you come back.)
(Please wake me up, okay?)
(Love, Wai)
It's captured on the morning
your grandma went missing.
Here, look!
See?
Your grandma was going out.
Grandma doesn't walk like that.
We didn't came home
till the evening.
It means grandma wasn't there.
Wait, wind back a bit.
Okay.
Here, wind back a bit.
Okay.
Here.
Look at this...
Now I'd like to ask you
to do me a favor.
Grandma Ho has
gone missing since
she left home on 16th April.
Her family are really
worried about her.
Please call us if you see someone
who fits the description.
She's 75-year-old...
That kind of ghosts
live in the mountains.
His grandma didn't go to
the mountains recently.
How could she be caught?
The trees in the mountains
have been chopped down.
The spectres now have
no place to live.
So they come down
here to catch people.
Wei, don't worry.
Old people often wander
off and get lost.
Don't worry. She'll be back.
Come on, let's let off
the firecrackers.
Come on. Stand aside.
Let's let off firecrackers.
Wei.
Get up.
Wei.
Wei.
Get up!
Slowly. Eat more!
Wow, it's so yummy!
Really yummy?
Careful, don't get
your clothes dirty.
Or you won't look
good on the ceremony.
Come, have another egg.
Grandma, you're a super cook!
Really?
Okay.
Here.
Wei.
When you grow up,
promise you'll often
eat with Grandma.
Okay?
Don't be like your father.
Come, eat up!
Okay?
Okay!
I'll eat with you every day!
Okay, good boy.
I'll write it down.
Remember it.
Okay.
I'll remember it.
What are you doing?
Ho Chih-wei.
Ho Chih-wei.
(Ho Chih-wei promises to eat
with his grandma every day)
Ho Chih-wei.
You got up?
I did try to wake you.
What happened to you?
What's up?
Say something. What's up?
I'm just...
...haven't hug you
for a long time.
Okay.
Okay, grandma lets you hug.
Don't cry, good boy.
Bring your...
What's her name?
Shen Yi-chun.
Oh, okay.
Shen Yi-chun.
Shen Yi-chun. Bring
her home for dinner.
Okay?
Okay?
We'll have dinner
together like family.
Okay.
Hello everyone, welcome back.
We're going to take
the last call.
It's from Shu-hui in Kaohsiung.
Hello Shu-hui.
He doesn't love me anymore.
He doesn't love me anymore.
Shu-hui, who doesn't
love you anymore?
He doesn't love me anymore.
He doesn't love me anymore.
Shu-hui, you may need
to speak up a little.
Or neither I nor other listeners
can hear you.
He doesn't love me anymore.
He doesn't love me anymore.
He doesn't love me anymore.
He doesn't love me anymore.
Okay, Shu-hui.
No matter who he is,
we women have to be
strong and independent.
And I...
Hello?
Hello?
Well.
We may have problems
with the line.
But it's okay.
At the end of the show,
I'd like to say to all women.
No matter he loves you or not,
you have to learn
to love yourself.
Be brave when a relationship
comes to an end.
The next show is Ten p.m.
Roll-call.
Now let's hear a cheerful song.
See you next time.
Bye-Bye
Why do you suddenly show up?
- Are you all right?
- Grandma
invites you to dinner
at home tonight.
Grandma's back?
Let's have dinner
at home tonight.
You're sweating.
What happened? Are
you feeling sick?
Come home for dinner with me.
Okay.
Let's go see a doctor
before going home.
Come on.
You look horrible.
Sit here.
Here.
Wait for me.
I'd like to see a doctor.
- First visit?
- Yes.
Your health insurance
card, please.
Here, fill in the form.
Ho Chih-wei, what are you doing?
Don't you think
babies are so cute?
Hurry up, come see a doctor!
Why don't you want to marry me?
Quiet. You're
disturbing the babies.
Why don't you want to marry me?
Do we have to talk about it now?
Why don't you want
to have a baby?
Can you afford it?
What on earth are
you talking about?
Come, let's go see a doctor.
I want to go home and
eat with Grandma.
Ho Chih-wei!
Grandma, I brought
Yi-chun back for dinner.
Pork rib stew.
Braised rump pork.
Uncle Kun!
Come on, quick!
- What happened?
- Wei...
What happened?
Wei...
Wei is...
What happened?
Wei...He was here just now!
(Ho Chih-wei Day 1)
Gods in Heaven. Gods
in the Netherworld.
Please perform a miracle for us!
Yi-chun, we had
better burn that too.
Come...
Yi-chun, here is the last trick.
It's the most important one...
Repeat after me.
Louder!
Muster your strength.
Dear mountain gods,
we're asking you for help.
Please protect us.
Go back to hell, you ghosts!
You motherfucker!
Back to the mountains!
Don't make trouble here!
Well, say...
Back to the mountains!
Don't make trouble here!
That's enough for you.
Come on, louder!
You motherfucker! Go back!
Louder!
Fuck! Go away! I'm
not scared of you!
Fuck!
I'd like you to help
me with one thing.
Mr. Ho Chih-wei left
home around midnight on
20th April and has gone
missing since then.
His family are really
worried about him.
- Wish you - Hello ma'am.
- Can help me - Are you
looking for a new home?
I can help you with any
property you need.
Ho is about 26-year-old.
178cm in height.
Male with short hair.
He was wearing a pale blue shirt
And black pants.
If you see him,
please call
the local police station.
Or call the radio station
so we can relay the
info to his family.
So his family could
find him soon.
Now it's you.
Here!
Here!
The police saw her.
She had nothing with her.
The police found her
walking on the motorway.
So many people...
So many threes...
Grandma is fine.
Just a bit dehydrated.
So scary...
Her mental status
is very unstable.
There's someone...
So many threes...
Mrs. Ho, Yi-chun has
come to see you.
Mrs. Ho.
..
I called Wei's name...
I called Wei's name...
- Grandma, relax.
- I called Wei's name...
Take a deep breath.
I called Wei's name!
- Calm down.
- I called Wei's name!
Take a deep breath.
Grandma.
Grandma, relax.
- I called Wei's name...
- Take a deep breath.
I called Wei's name!
Why vomiting like that?
I bet she was taken to the
mountains by the ghost.
That day...
You thought it was Wei.
But it was the spectre.
It was in Shui's house.
And now
it's gone to Mrs. Ho's place.
Come over!
("Mosien")
(Walk up to the mountains)
(It's where spectres
often show up.)
(We two were turning that way.)
(But we saw his brother
keep walking ahead.)
(Rumor has it that)
("mosiens" make people
lose their minds...)
(Call your full name.)
I told my friend
we should wake him up.
But we couldn't...
(Woman in her eighties
missing for two days.)
(We couldn't find the way back.)
(We let off firecrackers
and walked back.)
(When in the
supernatural world,)
(if you let off firecrackers)
(or use explosive,)
(you can break the
spell and return.)
It'll destroy the
supernatural power.
Yes, it'll be destroyed.
(To the mountains)
(and someone talked to her.)
(Now they say that)
(the little girl in red)
(wants to take her
to the mountains.)
(But she's malicious.)
There seem to be a
lot of spectres.
If it was only one
or two, it was fine.
All the stories sound similar.
Lin Huo-kun.
Lin Huo-kun...
Miss Shen, the thing is...
I'd like to tell you what
happened the other day.
We thought Mrs. Ho might
have food poisoning.
So we ran a test on her vomit.
And we found this.
Please have a look.
It's a moth chrysalis.
And it's still alive.
My colleague at the
Toxicology says
it's "death's-head hawk-moth".
A very rare species of insect.
We have no idea
why it ended up in her stomach.
This is what I need to tell you.
(Death's-head hawk-moth)
Grandma, you take a good rest.
I'm off to work. I'll
come back after work.
When Wei comes back,
tell him
I'll leave this house to him.
We were quite well off.
But we lost our fortune.
So Wei
works very hard to make money.
Ask him not to work so hard
and spend more time with you.
Can you get the box for me?
It's over there.
Grandma.
She came to me again last night.
Who?
She says she can
take me to see Wei.
She needs a pair of shoes.
I should be the one taken
away, not you guys.
It should be me.
What are you talking about?
Grandma, please don't
think too much.
Wei must love you so much.
So he didn't call your name.
Uncle Kun.
Could you please keep
an eye on Grandma?
Please...Im running
late for work.
Please make sure she
doesn't wander off.
Thank you!
Thanks!
Just before we end the program,
I wonder if you can
do me a favor.
I saw a species of
moth on the Internet.
It's called "death's-head
hawk-moth".
Very little about it
can be found online.
So if anyone
knows about their habitat,
where you can see them,
or if you have any
relevant information,
you're welcome to call
me at the radio station.
Thank you for listening
to our program tonight.
See you next time.
Goodnight.
Bei-bei, it's closed!
Yi-chun, we're off!
Bye bye, auntie.
Hello.
(Wanlongkeng, Shenkengao)
Hello.
Sir, can you say
it again, please?
She says she's going to the
mountains to find her.
Find whom?
Her...
She says she's going to
the mountain to find her.
Did she say which
mountain she's going?
Wanlongkeng!
Excuse me.
Are you her family?
Yes, I'm her family.
You know in which county it is?
Shenkengao or something
sounds like that...
Could you check it for me?
Yes, let me check it.
Wait a minute.
Everyone's gone to Wanlongkeng.
Everyone!
Everyone's gone to find her.
(Chun, I'll definitely
marry you in five years.)
You sure he's your boyfriend?
Please sign these papers
to confirm you join the
mission voluntarily
and understand all
the risks involved.
Our mission is
to find your boyfriend
and his grandma.
If you get lost
in the mountains,
here's a whistle.
Blow the whistle at once
and hang the red
strips on the trees.
Then we'll find you.
Here.
Take a few emergency flares
with you.
Apart from lighting,
it'll scare the beasts off.
Can you keep UP?
Yeah...
Grandma?
Grandma!
Grandma!
Captain!
Grandma is over there.
Grandma is over there!
- Grandma!
- Med, over here!
- Grandma!
- Yeah. The paramedics are here.
Grandma.
Miss.
Excuse me, miss.
- Excuse me.
- Sorry.
Grandma.
You go back!
- You go back or she'll catch you.
- Grandma, what did you say?
Excuse me, we need to
take her back first.
You go back!
We need to go.
Grandma, what did you say?
You go back or she'll catch you.
Go back! Go back! Go back!
Roger that.
Miss Shen.
Do you recognise the shoes?
They're my boyfriend's
old shoes.
You still want to come with us?
Miss Shen. Have it.
Thanks.
First time to spend a
night in the mountains?
Yes.
Don't be scared.
They're scared of us too.
If we respect each other
and coexist in harmony,
they won't do you any harm.
A lot of people went
missing in the mountains?
Legend has it that
every tree has a soul.
If you cut down a tree
for no good reason,
the mountain will
capture a person and
plant the person's
soul in the mountains.
Plant? How?
I don't really know.
Because.
I've never been planted.
Well, if Bin gets
planted one day,
you'll be the first to know!
By the way,
how did you know your boyfriend
came to this mountain?
A retired mountain
guide told me.
His name is Wang Tien-tze.
Told you?
HOW?
You know Mr. Wang?
Sure.
He's our patron saint.
He built all the paths
you see around here.
He phoned me in my office
and told me about Wanlongkeng.
You must be joking, right?
No'?
But...
He died a long time ago.
My grandpa told me
he was a mountain guide
during the Japanese occupation.
Captain.
The road splits.
It's splits into
three directions.
We're breaking into
three small groups.
Erge,
take the two seniors
and go down Gu Line.
Li, you and Yi-lin cut
through the hill.
The rest follow me on Ling Line.
Miss Shen,
you come with me.
Report to me on
radio every hour.
Any questions?
No!
Okay, let's go.
Are you okay?
Yes, I'm okay.
Hey, I'm here!
Hey, I'm here!
Hey!
Chih-Wei!
Yi-chun.
Shen Yi-chun.
Shen Yi-chun.
Shen Yi-chun.
Mommy.
Mommy.
Mommy.
Mommy.
He doesn't love me anymore...
Mommy.
He doesn't love me anymore...
He doesn't love me anymore...
He doesn't love me anymore...
He doesn't love me anymore...
Mommy.
Mommy.
Mommy.
Mommy.
Mommy.
Mommy, why didn't you want me?
Mommy, why did you
get rid of me?
Mommy.
Mommy, why didn't you want me?
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
You're up?
Come have breakfast.
What happened to you?
I had a nightmare.
I couldn't find you.
Don't be scared.
I'm here. You've found me.
Eat something.
Let me get you a glass of milk.
Where's Grandma?
She's in the nursing home.
Nursing home?
Why?
She's been there for two years.
We agreed to it.
You didn't want to live
with her, did you?
Are you really okay?
You're asking weird questions!
You don't want to eat?
Come, let me feed you.
I'm not hungry.
Okay, you can eat later.
What's wrong?
You're acting so weird today.
Take me to see Grandma.
Finish your breakfast first.
Then I'll take you there, okay?
Let's go.
Where are you going?
I'll take you there later.
Chih-Wei!
Chih-Wei!
Ho Chih-wei!
Ho Chih-wei!
Come on, Ho Chih-wei!
Ho Chih-wei, wake up!
Come!
No...
Hurry UP!
One must stay.
Yi-chun, you go!
I'll stay.
Yi-chun.
Leave, now!
Let's go together.
Bei-bei, how old are you?
I'm three years old.
Mommy, why did you
get rid of me?
I'm sorry.
Why don't you want
to get married?
I've told you marriage
isn't in my plan.
(Chun, I'll definitely
marry you in five years.)
Give me my Ho Chih-wei back!
Chih-Wei!
Hello everyone.
It's 3.20 in the afternoon.
I'm Yi-chun and I've been
very happy these days.
I wonder if you've thought about
what you want most
in your life?
Is it a successful career?
Or simple happiness in life?
Or you just want to
sit down for dinner
with your beloved family?
I think, in fact,
in everyone's heart
grows a forest.
Don't let our
stubbornness damage it.
Remember to leave some
time for yourselves.
From time to time, we should air
our secrets in the sun.
Next let's hear a
beautiful song.
See you next time!
("Mosien")
(- a ghost that appears
as a monkey or a child.)

one's sense of guilt,)

Lin Li-shui

Shui.
Come back soon.
I'm waiting for you
to sing together.
(Yi-chun: Have you
got up, lazy boy?)
(Just got off work. Goodnight!)
Wei.
Get up.
Get up!
Fuck!
Why didn't the alarm go off?
Grandma.
Grandma, why didn't
you wake me up?
Grandma.
Grandma, did you
turn my alarm off?
No, and I tried to wake you up.
It's alright. Come
have breakfast!
You didn't come home till
four in the morning.
You slept for only few hours.
One needs six to
eight hours' sleep.
I can't afford that now!
You work so hard every day.
You're bound to
ruin your health!
Always come home so late.
You hadn't come
home when I got up!
Hey, sit down and
eat properly, okay?
What's her name? She's
coming for dinner tonight?
Yi-chun. Shen Yi-chun.
It's better to eat at home.
Food in the restaurants
isn't clean.
Home-made food is
clean and safe.
Right, listen to me.
You keep quiet when she is here.
Let me question her tonight.
Why don't you get married
after four, five years?
Why?
We're not good enough for her?
If you're going to talk nonsense,
I won't bring her home.
You're always like this
when I bring it up.
Hey, you!
Your lunch box!
Lunch.
Silly boy.
Shu-fang.
Ho Wen Shu-fang.
Shui.
Ho Wen Shu-fang.
Hello. Good morning everyone!
I'm Yi-chun, the
stand-in DJ for today.
It's time for Love
Moring Roll-call!
What exactly is the end of love?
Marriage?
Some say marriage is
the tomb of love.
I wonder how you feel about it.
Let's take some calls.
Oh...
Yeah, it's really the tomb.
I have to look after not only
my kids but parents-in-law.
I'm working like a slave.
And have to serve my
difficult mother-in-law.
Hui-chun, have you discussed
it with your husband?
Yes.
Whenever we talk about his mom,
he gets angry.
His mom is always right.
But he has only one mother.
What can I do?
Okay, thanks for your call.
My boyfriend's grandma
nags all the time.
But actually, I envy you
as you've family with you.
Not everyone is as
lucky as you...
(Grandma)
Let me play you a
nice song first.
We'll take more calls
after the break.
Good morning, everyone!
Good morning, sir!
Okay, let's shout the slogan.
Sincerity is everything!
Sincerity is everything!
Chu-shan Estate Agency!
Chu-shan Estate Agency!
Professional! Reliable!
Professional! Reliable!
Energetic!
Yes?
There is room for negotiation.
(Grandma)
Hi, Mr. Ho. Here we are!
Mr. and Mrs. Lin.
Let's go up.
105 square meters.
At the end of the
block, it's light.
It feels airy with
all these windows.
If we are done here,
let's go back to the office
and go over the details.
Sure.
Please wait for me outside.
Let me turn the light off.
Yes
Grandma?
Grandma?
(Call Grandma)
Let's ask him.
Mr. Ho, shall we go?
Yes, sorry for keep you waiting.
Let's go back to the office.
It's 9.45 in the evening.
I'm Yi-chun.
Thank you for listening
to our program.
Wish you a very good evening.
Goodnight.
Yi-chun, I'm sorry.
This is my daughter.
Bei-bei.
Don't run around in the
studio, understand?
Say hello to Auntie Yi-chun.
Auntie Yi-chun
Bei-bei, how old are you?
I'm three years old.
Bei-bei.
Three is like this.
Don't run around like this.
You'll disturb their work.
How come you have time
to see me tonight?
Haven't seen you for ages!
Thought you might have
eloped with someone!
Oh, well. Good to
know you're worried.
Hey.
Grandma has cooked a lot.
Let's eat at home, alright?
Please...
Alright.
Does Grandma remember
my name or not?
Yes, she does.
She definitely does!
Does she remember yours?
Of course she remembers mine!
Yeah?
Let me take you
to a place first.
What place?
Guess!
You're selling it?
Miss. Shen.
A luxurious four-bedroom
family apartment.
Brand new steel and
concrete structure.
Windows on all walls.
You've got the most beautiful
view of Taipei city!
Even playing a song?!
My latest service.
Viewing the property
while dancing!
Here is the living room.
Oh!
I'm going to put an
enormous sofa...
...in here.
Your music doesn't go
well with your dance!
Come!
Come see this room.
This one...
It's the master bedroom.
It comes with a brand
new double bed.
Come. Come.
Don't jump into someone's bed!
- So soft.
- What?
It'll get dirty.
Let's get down.
Okay, let's get down.
I'm getting down...
You're acting so weird today.
Wait.
You've got any condom with you?
We'll get married anyway.
If you get pregnant,
we'll have a child!
Who wants to have
a child with you?
Or who do you want
have children with?
Well.
Haven't we talked about
it so many times?
I'll be angry if
you do it again.
This property...
I already paid the deposit.
You did?
How much did you pay?
I mortgaged Grandma's house
and paid the deposit.
The rest is enough for the
first year's payment.
- Within a year...
- Did you
tell Grandma about it?
Trust me, the location is good.
In two years, the price
is bound to soar.
I can make at least five
million when I sell it.
And then we can get married
and have children...
But it's all in the future...
We won't be able buy it
when the price soars up.
No, it's not the problem.
What if Grandma
thinks it's my idea?
She won't think it's your idea.
How do you know?
Okay.
If you insist on buying,
you move in with Grandma.
I'll live in my own place.
I marry you because I
want to live with you.
What do you mean me
living with Grandma?
And you still live
in your place?
No.
Marriage isn't in my plan.
How many times have
we talked about it?
Why don't you want
to get married?
Why in a hurry?
We've been together
for five years.
Five years!
What else do we need?
- What is not there?
- I've told you that
marriage isn't in my plan!
I'm exhausted.
I haven't slept
for twenty-four hours.
Do we have to talk
about it today?
I'm sorry.
Grandma, Yi-chun is here!
Grandma has cooked
a lot of food.
Need any help to re-heat it?
Yeah, thanks.
Grandma?
Grandma...
You're going out?
Shui's come back.
I'm going to hers for karaoke.
Auntie Shui's back?
It's late to meet up!
Grandma, I need to talk
to you about something.
You're still angry at me?
The pig trotter
was really yummy.
I ate it all.
Don't stay out too late!
Wei.
Who are you talking to?
Grandma.
Grandma?
She seems a bit angry at me...
Never mind, let's
eat on our own.
(Ho Wen Shu-fang Day 1)
Shui!
Come on, everyone!
Shui's back!
Fuck!
Grandma, don't turn my
alarm off again, okay?!
You're back after seven days!
It's truly god's blessing.
I told you firecrackers worked!
Did you eat anything?
- See?
- We should have done it earlier!
We really should!
Good we let off firecrackers.
Safety is everything.
You made us so worried.
Uncle Kun.
Did you see my grandma?
No.
Ah, she...
Now she...
- Did anyone call her family?
- Yeah.
- Go tell them.
- Auntie Shui.
Tell them she's back.
It's good you're safe.
We were so worried.
Did you see my grandma?
I'm sorry...
I'm sorry.
What are you sorry for?
It's not my fault.
What happened?
Don't be fooled by her!
Shui, what are you sorry for?
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
A parcel for Ho Chih-wei.
Everyone is having so much fun!
Everyone, look over here.
Lin Li-shui, look!
You can't call people's full
names in the mountains!
And don't pat people
on their shoulders.
Why not?
If you call someone's full name,
and he turns around,
he'll be caught to replace
someone else in the woods.
Really?
Hey, do you smell
something weird?
- Do you?
- I caught the smell just now.
It smells like a dead rat.
No, it's not the
smell of a dead rat.
Well, I think the
toilet is blocked.
Really? How come I
can't smell it?
How can you not smell it?
It's really bad!
Didn't you take the garbage out?
It smells rotten.
It's so dirty!
Uncle Kun.
Is this Auntie Shui's camera?
Yes, it's Shui's camera.
How did you get it?
Do you know where
Auntie Shui's house is?
Here is her house.
Why is the door left open?
They were here when I
came this morning.
How could this happen?
Let me find the light switches.
What are you doing?
Nothing.
Come help me!
I haven't turned
the power on yet.
Are you all right?
(Grandma, whenever
you come back.)
(Please wake me up, okay?)
(Love, Wai)
It's captured on the morning
your grandma went missing.
Here, look!
See?
Your grandma was going out.
Grandma doesn't walk like that.
We didn't came home
till the evening.
It means grandma wasn't there.
Wait, wind back a bit.
Okay.
Here, wind back a bit.
Okay.
Here.
Look at this...
Now I'd like to ask you
to do me a favor.
Grandma Ho has
gone missing since
she left home on 16th April.
Her family are really
worried about her.
Please call us if you see someone
who fits the description.
She's 75-year-old...
That kind of ghosts
live in the mountains.
His grandma didn't go to
the mountains recently.
How could she be caught?
The trees in the mountains
have been chopped down.
The spectres now have
no place to live.
So they come down
here to catch people.
Wei, don't worry.
Old people often wander
off and get lost.
Don't worry. She'll be back.
Come on, let's let off
the firecrackers.
Come on. Stand aside.
Let's let off firecrackers.
Wei.
Get up.
Wei.
Wei.
Get up!
Slowly. Eat more!
Wow, it's so yummy!
Really yummy?
Careful, don't get
your clothes dirty.
Or you won't look
good on the ceremony.
Come, have another egg.
Grandma, you're a super cook!
Really?
Okay.
Here.
Wei.
When you grow up,
promise you'll often
eat with Grandma.
Okay?
Don't be like your father.
Come, eat up!
Okay?
Okay!
I'll eat with you every day!
Okay, good boy.
I'll write it down.
Remember it.
Okay.
I'll remember it.
What are you doing?
Ho Chih-wei.
Ho Chih-wei.
(Ho Chih-wei promises to eat
with his grandma every day)
Ho Chih-wei.
You got up?
I did try to wake you.
What happened to you?
What's up?
Say something. What's up?
I'm just...
...haven't hug you
for a long time.
Okay.
Okay, grandma lets you hug.
Don't cry, good boy.
Bring your...
What's her name?
Shen Yi-chun.
Oh, okay.
Shen Yi-chun.
Shen Yi-chun. Bring
her home for dinner.
Okay?
Okay?
We'll have dinner
together like family.
Okay.
Hello everyone, welcome back.
We're going to take
the last call.
It's from Shu-hui in Kaohsiung.
Hello Shu-hui.
He doesn't love me anymore.
He doesn't love me anymore.
Shu-hui, who doesn't
love you anymore?
He doesn't love me anymore.
He doesn't love me anymore.
Shu-hui, you may need
to speak up a little.
Or neither I nor other listeners
can hear you.
He doesn't love me anymore.
He doesn't love me anymore.
He doesn't love me anymore.
He doesn't love me anymore.
Okay, Shu-hui.
No matter who he is,
we women have to be
strong and independent.
And I...
Hello?
Hello?
Well.
We may have problems
with the line.
But it's okay.
At the end of the show,
I'd like to say to all women.
No matter he loves you or not,
you have to learn
to love yourself.
Be brave when a relationship
comes to an end.
The next show is Ten p.m.
Roll-call.
Now let's hear a cheerful song.
See you next time.
Bye-Bye
Why do you suddenly show up?
- Are you all right?
- Grandma
invites you to dinner
at home tonight.
Grandma's back?
Let's have dinner
at home tonight.
You're sweating.
What happened? Are
you feeling sick?
Come home for dinner with me.
Okay.
Let's go see a doctor
before going home.
Come on.
You look horrible.
Sit here.
Here.
Wait for me.
I'd like to see a doctor.
- First visit?
- Yes.
Your health insurance
card, please.
Here, fill in the form.
Ho Chih-wei, what are you doing?
Don't you think
babies are so cute?
Hurry up, come see a doctor!
Why don't you want to marry me?
Quiet. You're
disturbing the babies.
Why don't you want to marry me?
Do we have to talk about it now?
Why don't you want
to have a baby?
Can you afford it?
What on earth are
you talking about?
Come, let's go see a doctor.
I want to go home and
eat with Grandma.
Ho Chih-wei!
Grandma, I brought
Yi-chun back for dinner.
Pork rib stew.
Braised rump pork.
Uncle Kun!
Come on, quick!
- What happened?
- Wei...
What happened?
Wei...
Wei is...
What happened?
Wei...He was here just now!
(Ho Chih-wei Day 1)
Gods in Heaven. Gods
in the Netherworld.
Please perform a miracle for us!
Yi-chun, we had
better burn that too.
Come...
Yi-chun, here is the last trick.
It's the most important one...
Repeat after me.
Louder!
Muster your strength.
Dear mountain gods,
we're asking you for help.
Please protect us.
Go back to hell, you ghosts!
You motherfucker!
Back to the mountains!
Don't make trouble here!
Well, say...
Back to the mountains!
Don't make trouble here!
That's enough for you.
Come on, louder!
You motherfucker! Go back!
Louder!
Fuck! Go away! I'm
not scared of you!
Fuck!
I'd like you to help
me with one thing.
Mr. Ho Chih-wei left
home around midnight on
20th April and has gone
missing since then.
His family are really
worried about him.
- Wish you - Hello ma'am.
- Can help me - Are you
looking for a new home?
I can help you with any
property you need.
Ho is about 26-year-old.
178cm in height.
Male with short hair.
He was wearing a pale blue shirt
And black pants.
If you see him,
please call
the local police station.
Or call the radio station
so we can relay the
info to his family.
So his family could
find him soon.
Now it's you.
Here!
Here!
The police saw her.
She had nothing with her.
The police found her
walking on the motorway.
So many people...
So many threes...
Grandma is fine.
Just a bit dehydrated.
So scary...
Her mental status
is very unstable.
There's someone...
So many threes...
Mrs. Ho, Yi-chun has
come to see you.
Mrs. Ho.
..
I called Wei's name...
I called Wei's name...
- Grandma, relax.
- I called Wei's name...
Take a deep breath.
I called Wei's name!
- Calm down.
- I called Wei's name!
Take a deep breath.
Grandma.
Grandma, relax.
- I called Wei's name...
- Take a deep breath.
I called Wei's name!
Why vomiting like that?
I bet she was taken to the
mountains by the ghost.
That day...
You thought it was Wei.
But it was the spectre.
It was in Shui's house.
And now
it's gone to Mrs. Ho's place.
Come over!
("Mosien")
(Walk up to the mountains)
(It's where spectres
often show up.)
(We two were turning that way.)
(But we saw his brother
keep walking ahead.)
(Rumor has it that)
("mosiens" make people
lose their minds...)
(Call your full name.)
I told my friend
we should wake him up.
But we couldn't...
(Woman in her eighties
missing for two days.)
(We couldn't find the way back.)
(We let off firecrackers
and walked back.)
(When in the
supernatural world,)
(if you let off firecrackers)
(or use explosive,)
(you can break the
spell and return.)
It'll destroy the
supernatural power.
Yes, it'll be destroyed.
(To the mountains)
(and someone talked to her.)
(Now they say that)
(the little girl in red)
(wants to take her
to the mountains.)
(But she's malicious.)
There seem to be a
lot of spectres.
If it was only one
or two, it was fine.
All the stories sound similar.
Lin Huo-kun.
Lin Huo-kun...
Miss Shen, the thing is...
I'd like to tell you what
happened the other day.
We thought Mrs. Ho might
have food poisoning.
So we ran a test on her vomit.
And we found this.
Please have a look.
It's a moth chrysalis.
And it's still alive.
My colleague at the
Toxicology says
it's "death's-head hawk-moth".
A very rare species of insect.
We have no idea
why it ended up in her stomach.
This is what I need to tell you.
(Death's-head hawk-moth)
Grandma, you take a good rest.
I'm off to work. I'll
come back after work.
When Wei comes back,
tell him
I'll leave this house to him.
We were quite well off.
But we lost our fortune.
So Wei
works very hard to make money.
Ask him not to work so hard
and spend more time with you.
Can you get the box for me?
It's over there.
Grandma.
She came to me again last night.
Who?
She says she can
take me to see Wei.
She needs a pair of shoes.
I should be the one taken
away, not you guys.
It should be me.
What are you talking about?
Grandma, please don't
think too much.
Wei must love you so much.
So he didn't call your name.
Uncle Kun.
Could you please keep
an eye on Grandma?
Please...Im running
late for work.
Please make sure she
doesn't wander off.
Thank you!
Thanks!
Just before we end the program,
I wonder if you can
do me a favor.
I saw a species of
moth on the Internet.
It's called "death's-head
hawk-moth".
Very little about it
can be found online.
So if anyone
knows about their habitat,
where you can see them,
or if you have any
relevant information,
you're welcome to call
me at the radio station.
Thank you for listening
to our program tonight.
See you next time.
Goodnight.
Bei-bei, it's closed!
Yi-chun, we're off!
Bye bye, auntie.
Hello.
(Wanlongkeng, Shenkengao)
Hello.
Sir, can you say
it again, please?
She says she's going to the
mountains to find her.
Find whom?
Her...
She says she's going to
the mountain to find her.
Did she say which
mountain she's going?
Wanlongkeng!
Excuse me.
Are you her family?
Yes, I'm her family.
You know in which county it is?
Shenkengao or something
sounds like that...
Could you check it for me?
Yes, let me check it.
Wait a minute.
Everyone's gone to Wanlongkeng.
Everyone!
Everyone's gone to find her.
(Chun, I'll definitely
marry you in five years.)
You sure he's your boyfriend?
Please sign these papers
to confirm you join the
mission voluntarily
and understand all
the risks involved.
Our mission is
to find your boyfriend
and his grandma.
If you get lost
in the mountains,
here's a whistle.
Blow the whistle at once
and hang the red
strips on the trees.
Then we'll find you.
Here.
Take a few emergency flares
with you.
Apart from lighting,
it'll scare the beasts off.
Can you keep UP?
Yeah...
Grandma?
Grandma!
Grandma!
Captain!
Grandma is over there.
Grandma is over there!
- Grandma!
- Med, over here!
- Grandma!
- Yeah. The paramedics are here.
Grandma.
Miss.
Excuse me, miss.
- Excuse me.
- Sorry.
Grandma.
You go back!
- You go back or she'll catch you.
- Grandma, what did you say?
Excuse me, we need to
take her back first.
You go back!
We need to go.
Grandma, what did you say?
You go back or she'll catch you.
Go back! Go back! Go back!
Roger that.
Miss Shen.
Do you recognise the shoes?
They're my boyfriend's
old shoes.
You still want to come with us?
Miss Shen. Have it.
Thanks.
First time to spend a
night in the mountains?
Yes.
Don't be scared.
They're scared of us too.
If we respect each other
and coexist in harmony,
they won't do you any harm.
A lot of people went
missing in the mountains?
Legend has it that
every tree has a soul.
If you cut down a tree
for no good reason,
the mountain will
capture a person and
plant the person's
soul in the mountains.
Plant? How?
I don't really know.
Because.
I've never been planted.
Well, if Bin gets
planted one day,
you'll be the first to know!
By the way,
how did you know your boyfriend
came to this mountain?
A retired mountain
guide told me.
His name is Wang Tien-tze.
Told you?
HOW?
You know Mr. Wang?
Sure.
He's our patron saint.
He built all the paths
you see around here.
He phoned me in my office
and told me about Wanlongkeng.
You must be joking, right?
No'?
But...
He died a long time ago.
My grandpa told me
he was a mountain guide
during the Japanese occupation.
Captain.
The road splits.
It's splits into
three directions.
We're breaking into
three small groups.
Erge,
take the two seniors
and go down Gu Line.
Li, you and Yi-lin cut
through the hill.
The rest follow me on Ling Line.
Miss Shen,
you come with me.
Report to me on
radio every hour.
Any questions?
No!
Okay, let's go.
Are you okay?
Yes, I'm okay.
Hey, I'm here!
Hey, I'm here!
Hey!
Chih-Wei!
Yi-chun.
Shen Yi-chun.
Shen Yi-chun.
Shen Yi-chun.
Mommy.
Mommy.
Mommy.
Mommy.
He doesn't love me anymore...
Mommy.
He doesn't love me anymore...
He doesn't love me anymore...
He doesn't love me anymore...
He doesn't love me anymore...
Mommy.
Mommy.
Mommy.
Mommy.
Mommy.
Mommy, why didn't you want me?
Mommy, why did you
get rid of me?
Mommy.
Mommy, why didn't you want me?
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
You're up?
Come have breakfast.
What happened to you?
I had a nightmare.
I couldn't find you.
Don't be scared.
I'm here. You've found me.
Eat something.
Let me get you a glass of milk.
Where's Grandma?
She's in the nursing home.
Nursing home?
Why?
She's been there for two years.
We agreed to it.
You didn't want to live
with her, did you?
Are you really okay?
You're asking weird questions!
You don't want to eat?
Come, let me feed you.
I'm not hungry.
Okay, you can eat later.
What's wrong?
You're acting so weird today.
Take me to see Grandma.
Finish your breakfast first.
Then I'll take you there, okay?
Let's go.
Where are you going?
I'll take you there later.
Chih-Wei!
Chih-Wei!
Ho Chih-wei!
Ho Chih-wei!
Come on, Ho Chih-wei!
Ho Chih-wei, wake up!
Come!
No...
Hurry UP!
One must stay.
Yi-chun, you go!
I'll stay.
Yi-chun.
Leave, now!
Let's go together.
Bei-bei, how old are you?
I'm three years old.
Mommy, why did you
get rid of me?
I'm sorry.
Why don't you want
to get married?
I've told you marriage
isn't in my plan.
(Chun, I'll definitely
marry you in five years.)
Give me my Ho Chih-wei back!
Chih-Wei!
Hello everyone.
It's 3.20 in the afternoon.
I'm Yi-chun and I've been
very happy these days.
I wonder if you've thought about
what you want most
in your life?
Is it a successful career?
Or simple happiness in life?
Or you just want to
sit down for dinner
with your beloved family?
I think, in fact,
in everyone's heart
grows a forest.
Don't let our
stubbornness damage it.
Remember to leave some
time for yourselves.
From time to time, we should air
our secrets in the sun.
Next let's hear a
beautiful song.
See you next time!
