"LOST AND FOUND"

That Worm's famous line.

"Nothing's lost forever"

Say someone's stolen your wallet.

It'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!

But I've never seen a more excited person
playing with rubbish.

I can't imagine...

That would come the way
through this strange pursuit.

Right, notify the client, OK!

I'll take a tea break first.

Hi! Is this your phone?

Let me check you out first.

I saw you fishing out wallets
from the garbage can.

This is my calling card.

Lost & found is my trade.

With your absent-mindedness?

"THAT WORM"

Give me some proof first!... Mr. Worm.

I'm not "Mr. Worm".

Acting director: "That Worm".

So, you are Mr. Worm.

"That" is your surname.

Oh, no!

I'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 is a sticker at the back of the phone

With my office's number on it.

23118663

Alright!

Thank you.

Hey, let me buy you a cup of tea!

No thanks, I have to look for something myself.

Hey! I'm your man.

What I'm looking for is out of your league.

Nothing is lost for good, try me!

If I couldn't even give you
a clue within 15 sec...

...then feel free to go.

I'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.

Sol informed all cab stations.

That night, every cab driver in the city...

...pulls up on every road side.

Doing what?

Running scare.

Your scooter?

Yes!

My place is nearby.

Rule No.1.

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, save me a trip up the stairs.

Thank you.

Have you found my Chinese scale yet?

Just can't get a same one at the shop.

Yes, I've found your scale.

I 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!

It's beautiful, you drew it.

For me, thanks.

My baby sister likes you!

You're in luck,

little babe is very selective whom to social with!

You like me too, right?

My office is upstair.

Have some cake first.

I 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.

OK, no problem.

Thank you.

When are you going to tell Chu?

I'll talk to him, sooner or late.

Sure, sure!

Mr.
Chu...

Mr. Worm, I'm not sure you're trying your best.

We are trying our best!

Come over here.

I'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.

I'm working again.

I'm selling congee on the street at night too.

You're missing a love one too?

I'm trying to find my wife.

I'm not sure what I'm looking for.

That's the toughest item...

Very expensive too.

His name is Ted!... A sailor! Scottish!

A foreigner.

Radio & newspaper ads would be useless.

He speaks a little Chinese.

I'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.

OK, no problem.

Move away.

When do you get off?

Don't know!...

Lost & Found Center.

It's you again!

I'm working, please stop calling me.

Pervert! I'll call the police!

You shouldn't have taken up this job
in the first place.

All these scums you have to deal with.

Eat your dinner!

We probably have to do "Door to door" search.

Now?

Yes, like I 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 a blank.

Reason for the search.

Personal reason.

Well.

It would help if you could tell me.

I didn't intend to keep any secret...

on the contrary,
I felt a big secret was going around.

And nobody wanted to let me in.

In fact, to search for this secret

we must go back earlier.

23.

I 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.

It'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?

I don't mean that.

Should I tell your dad or...

I'll tell him myself.

Are you alright?

Are you still going?

Let me keep you company, alright?

Dance class at 11, lunch with Tina...

Never mind me, go!... Go to work now!

Lunch with Tina?

That was yesterday?

I'm fine, you should be back
at the radio station by now.

I'm OK, go!

Call me if you need me.

I'll wait for your call.

Bye!

Downtown, Central, a young lady, black-out.

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?

I'm certain.

I'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 of the day
every person has only himself to lean on to

he also practises his preaching well.

I'm the ninth child of twelve.

When we were kids, our house was
more like a boarding school than a home.

My mum, no.2 wife in the house.

Died of lung cancer 4 years ago.

That's how I first got horrified by cancer.

Hasn't Lam called yet?

No.

I'll check again.

Chai Hong, stop wandering around.

There's one last item on the agenda.

I'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.

I know.

This is 18th floor, you walked all the way up?

I'm in a rush.

To your dad's office, I recognise you.

Let me help you.

- No need!
- 4 more floors.

I can manage, thanks.

Look, I'm no pervert.

I work on one of your dad's ship.

This is my I.D. card

I just came from the office.

Let me help you.

I'm fine, don't bother.

I'll give you a hand.

Meeting adjourn.

OK! I'll give you 5 minutes.

I graduated at the New York University last year.

I'm a fine arts major, minor in psychology.

I'm not sure who's more stubborn, my dad or me.

I wanted to work in his shipping company.

He wanted to interview me... and I agreed!

I'd never thought of inheriting his business.

I wasn't even in the line.

I want to work in his company...

Simply because I love the sea.

As for my health,

here's my medical report.

It's just confirmed that I have leukemia.

A 30% chance of recovery.

I'm sure this is not an issue
on my working ability.

I didn't mean to embarrass him.

I 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 OK.

I've bought some new irons.

I was there... yes, handicap 3.

It's going to take days, this dripping.

Yes!

The dose at one go would be too much to take.

It has to drip in slowly.

And that's only one of several doses.

I'm sorry.

Just take this as a short vacation.

I want to throw up already.

It won't act up so quickly, stop imagining.

She'll be nauseous too?

Yes.

Be good now, I know it's painful.

Just be patient.

Excuse me.

I'm sorry Uncle Tong.

Why are you getting off?

To go to work.

You don't work here.

I just need to pick up something.

This is your office, Miss Chai.

I discovered that shipping
has nothing to do with sea-loving.

I know nothing about shipping.

More sadly I know nothing about the sea.

I had this recurring nightmare.

I was repeatedly rushing on
to nowhere in the city.

And I just couldn't stop.

I had this urge to crash through anything.

My morn struggled against cancer for 4 years.

I'm sure I don't have her courage.

I hope for an almighty magician...

To make my illness disappear.

That was the second time I saw Ted.

I couldn't start to describe him.

Yee, you walk too fast.

Don't you feel the beat?

I'm telling you, you can sing.

Teddy wants to sign you.

You know my family won't like it.

I won't pitch you against your dad.

But this is different now.

I can't say I know how you suffer all these pain.

I only know if you can't change the fact.

Why not go out with a bang!

I might not be your best friend.

But I'm the one with most fun, right?

Stick with me for some laughs at least.

I've changed the Key, should sound right now.

That's what you said every time.

Lone, what a surprise!

I've just thought of something, I must tell you.

Now?

What?

I said, let's get married.

How's everything?

I'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?

I don't think so either.

Please sign here, Miss Chai.

OK.

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.

It's out of hand here, call the police.

Is that right? Call the police?

Let's show them some muscles.

Calm down now, cops are coming.

Stop it right there.

Calm down.

Cool off...

She's a girl.

What's happened?

She'll be fine.

Just get some rest.

Thank you.

Dad? She's alright now.

No need to go to the hospital.

Hi!

How are you doing?

Thank you.

No problem.

As long as I've got a chance to hold you,
I'm happy!

I've got something for you, I'll go get it.

You wait here.

Can I come on board?

Of course, it's your father's ship.

This is the bridge.

There's no girl sailor, right?

I haven't seen one.

Come to think of it, there are none.

I knew it, traditionally...

...no women ever inherit
a shipping business either.

Didn't know cargo ships
are so modernized and clean.

You think we 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 oars.

An one eyed captain with a wooden leg

with a parrot on the shoulder.

May be in my grandfather's time.

Your grandfather?

Yes.

This is my cabin, I'll fetch it for you.

Can I take a look?

Sure.

Your shoe.

Thanks.

Your grandfather's a sailor too?

Yeah, you want a coke?

Where are you from?

Here.

The edge of the world.

The edge of the world?

Yes, the edge of the world.

You see!

My grandfather told me, our ancestors.

They were Vikings.

The Vikings from Scandinavia?

Yes.

You see a long time ago.

They were sailing.

They came to the place
called the edge of the world.

And they settled there.

Is 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 Scotsmen.

My mother.

She's Chinese.

They're back, I have to make dinner.

Make dinner?

Yeah, I'm the chef.

Really?

Really.

You want to stay for dinner?

I better not, may be next time.

I should treat you dinner sometime.

I'll let you make your dinner.

It's alright.

When's the ship leaving?

In a few days.

OK, bye bye.

Bye!

Be careful.

Waiting for someone, Miss Chai?

Yes.

That's all I can find.

Take a look.

Is that all?

So heavy, you owe me a favour.

OK! Let me have a look first.

Hi, Kelly.

How are you?

Fine, thank you.

These are the books that you asked for.

OK.

And this book you'll be particularly interested.

Where's my DEV?

In a day or two.

That's what you said last time.

I'll come back tomorrow.

It'll sail out in 3 days.

We have to put in some O.T.

And we are short of lab our.

It's going to be difficult.

But then money always talk.

We must decide earlier though.

We need some time

- to recruit new lab our.
- OK.

I'm sorry, Bill.

You have to come all the way from downtown.

It's OK.

I've heard of this "Edge of the world" place.

It's somewhere here supposingly.

But better yet,
I have someone who knows these waters well.

I've asked him to come along.

And he's here already.

Miss Chai, this is Ted.

You must be curious to know why.

You are the one who's curious.

What do you want to know?

I've read a book, about this island...

An island full of graveyards.

Yes, my home island has a lot of graveyards.

Really? Is 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 generation's gone.

They only have 2 reasons why they'd 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 tombstones face the ocean.

And slendering towards the sky.

Why?

They are dead, and they still want to leave.

It's the edge of the world,
where else can they leave for?

Doesn't matter whether you're staying or leaving.

Home is always homes.

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.

And on this day they all come to the cliff.

To let warm current to bring their hearts home.

That's what you want to know?

I thought you want to know more about me.

Yes, I want to know about you.

So I want to know the place you're 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 a nothing job to start with anyway.

If that's how you think of dad.

You've never really appreciated him.

My days at the dock were over.

I 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.

Even my trust worthy doctor,
Uncle Tong couldn't treat me anymore.

He retired after a heart attack.

I'm not going to be as kind as Dr. Tong.

My patient has to be absolutely discipline.

These medicine are a little different.

They are pills, no painful injections.

But would they act up like those injections?

I'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 a taxi.

Bingo!

I haven't told him who am I,
and why I should find Ted.

What's this place?

Sailors' home.

Sailors' home?

Yes.

You are a kinder-garten teacher.

Me? Do I look like one?

You're wrong.

I thought you only need to know
why I search for this guy.

Now you want to know about me?

That was the first time I saw May,

but she treated me like an old friend,

and it don't seem out of turn either.

Then Worms 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?

So you like the sea?

Yes, I like the sea.

Yes, I 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 Ladder Street.

The Moon Flower Inn at Spring Breeze Lane.

Worm said May was a bit lunatic.

But I said those who loves the sea
couldn't be too crazy.

Not here.

Let's call it a night.

Why? I'll pay you over-time.

Not just that.

It's so late now. If he's gone, he's gone.

If not, he'll be sleeping somewhere.

You haven't told me the reason yet.

I know.

You're a dancer.

What makes you think that?

Sailor and dancer it just gels.

It gels.

Here's the change.

- Thanks.
- Check it.

Why not stay longer?

The ship's leaving.

Can I leave my luggage here?
I'll come back for it.

Thanks.

You can check the register list.

I only come back from holidays tonight.

I couldn't have seen him anyway.

Can we check your guests list

of the past few days?

They are locked in the office.

And everyone's off now.

If nothing on the list,

he might have checked out already.

This is the last one on my list.

See, this must be a first time customer.

I 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 is 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.

What's 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.

I said: "A new one only costs
a couple of thousand".

He said: "It would never be the same".

I found his wig.

I'd never seen a happier person.

Then I realized, a wig is not just a wig.

It's his whole self-esteem.

I grew up on the Mongolian steppe.

Sometimes you could hardly see anyone else.

Here, there are millions of people.

And millions of stories.

Only now I realize that Worm

is basically a lonely person...

"Lost & found" is an excuse

for him to reach out

and touch the world...

I know who you are.

Stop this silly guessing game of yours, please!

Don't try to fit me into...

one of your million of stories.

I 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... where to start?

I want to ask you.

What's your success rate?

Depends on what to be found!

Average, in general.

10 to 20 percent.

That's highly unsuccessful.

But the point is nothing's guaranteed.

But trying keeps the hope alive.

You're either too naive.

Or you're only hustling your client.

"Nothing's lost forever", he says.

What's this word?

Scofland.

We're in business again.

Let's go.

Could be him,

6 ft, sort of a beard.

A foreigner's face.

It must be him.

How long has he been gone?

You've just missed him.

He said he's heading to the airport.

Thanks.

Come back, get on.

Down there.

Taxi.

Him?

Foreigner!

What's his name again?

Are you alright?

Where are you going?

To catch a plane, to Scotland.

My grandfather just died.

Thanks.

I'm sorry.

I'm not going to be a sailor anymore.

No, why not?

I have to take care of my grandfather's inn.

I want to bring his ashes back to his homeland.

Are you going or not, man?

In a minute, sorry.

Would you take me to the edge
of the world, please?

Anytime!

Now?

Now?

I'll tell you what.

I go back first.

I'll take care of my grandfather's business.

Then you can come.

I'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.

Lost & found.

Yeah.

Great.

He speaks Chinese.

Are you going or what?

I'm coming.

I must go.

I'll wait for you there.

Thank you for everything.

Now I know who you are, you are his girl.

Silent 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 a home?

What a sad story for them sisters.

Their morn ran away, their father's never home.

So I sort of have them here at the stall...

And take care of their meals everyday.

Jane babysits the young one upstairs
while the older one is at school.

Hi! Little baby.

Why don't you stay home and
take care of your own sisters?

What kind of job is this?

And the pay is ridiculous.

Morning little baby.

I'm sorry, I'm in your way.

It's OK.

Morning.

Care to join us for breakfast.

OK.

You look so pale.

I'm OK.

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 then "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?

It has swollen up this morning.

I'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.

I should return a favour.

We do hire part-time worker.

But only on commission, not very good money.

I 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.

You might as well go see what she's up to.

Ting Ting took me to a rose garden that

refused to come to life.

Headmistress Chai.

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, OK?

OK.

Bye.

You mustn't lie again.

Just this once.

Can't let him know.

Ting's parent grew plants for city hall...

one time, mommy asked daddy,

"How come you never send me flowers?"

Daddy answered "I've never thought of it

since we're around flowers everyday anyway."

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.

I know dad wishes the rose will blessom,

mom will be happy seeing roses

if 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

fertilizing the soil with their droppings...

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 I'm too naive.

Or I'm hustling the clients.

Not a good proposition.

Of course not.

Those flat-beak ducks are wild ducks.

Where to fetch them and how?

It's red-beak duck not flat-beak duck.

Say we can locate the ducks.

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.

I would not look at it this way.

If her mother is to die,

the child has to face the sad truth anyhow.

10 years old kids or not.

But in this 10 years old mind,

the only hope is...

...to search for those flat-beak ducks.

If 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 of mind.

Hey the "Rose Garden" is actually close to
the wild-life reservation area.

This soil isn't really perfect for roses.

It may still do...
at least the branches seem healthy.

What about these ducks?

Animal droppings can be nourishing for sure.

In France, they use cow dung sometimes.

But red-beak duck is out of my league.

Let me do some test on
these soil samples first,

OK?

Take your medicine first.

I'll take you to the movie later.

Look who's talking!

You haven't been to a movie before yourself.

It's beautiful, she drew this too.

Know what, that little girl
could well be a child prodigy.

Really? How do you know?

I guess.

After some serious studies,

Worm figures using live fish-bait
to lure the ducks.

Thanks 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 I say...

Something of life-saving vitality.

I 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 didn't know the direction.

Always get into troubles.

I 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 "Worldwild skyline
inter-net round-about chase".

Sound more like a spy movie.

But this is something else, really.

Thanks to you.

I'm not sure if this formula going to work or not.

I'm not sure if this formula going to work or not.

I'll double the dose.

If it works, it will work superly.

You walk so fast.

Can't you feel the beat?

What beat?

You really want me to sing?

The sun will rise again...

"Longing for a paradise"

"Want to be in paradise"

"Looking out for paradise..."

"That hides behind cloudy sky"

"Searching for a paradise"

"But paradise is in disguise"

"Running out of space to find"

"A|| but for some peace of mind"

"Somewhere birds are flying"

"Where the sun will shine in the morning"

"Things that touch my heart string"

"Will soon be here awaiting"

"Suddenly I realize"

"Never mind where's paradise"

"Hope is always by your side"

"Paradise is where love lies."

Is Judy there please?

Judy, this is Lam.

I'd like to postpone my flight to Scotland.

For a week.

July 28, OK.

Via Holland,

OK, 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 I realize."

"Never mind where's paradise."

"Hope is always by your side."

- The ducks are here, the ducks are here.
- "Paradise is where love lies."

There are many ducks here!

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.

This guy-

He's crazy.

We only promised the kid the ducks.

"Mission impossible" is accomplished.

You think the flowers

will make her morn recover?

That's the logic of a ten years 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's coming with me.

He'll bring the flowers, on a discount too.

Really? Count me in.

Why don't you just stick in the flowers?

It's cheating anyway.

If 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 I was crazy then

when I opened up this business...

so... you're not coming?

I'll just go with Kueng.

Crazy, crazy.

Look like there are buds on each branch.

- Really?
- Really?

Seems like, but I'm not too sure.

So are there buds or not?

Aren't you an expert?

Listen, I'm only a florist, not a gardener.

Everything I sell are blossoming already.

When can we be sure?

In 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.

It'll be a long night,
I'd rather sleep in a bed.

I'll take the bus back to town.

You coming, Ming?

I'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.

I'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 checking every 10 mins!

Right! You haven't said anything
about yourself yet!

I'm not going to guess anymore.

Speak up!

I have a question for you first.

OK.

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.

I'm quite sure Chu is the suicidal kind.

If 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 way you urge him to work harder
and save up more money.

We're going to tell him sooner or later.

Sooner or later.

I'll go check the buds anyway.

OK.

Why didn't you wake me up?

You were sound asleep.

Oh great! Oh, Joe's formula works.

The duck shit works.

It would forever be a mystery,
that it was Joe's formula

or the ducks' droppings that worked...

or the flowers

were supposed to bloom anyway.

Never mind.

They're going to operate on Ting's morn.

Her father took Ting
to the hospital two nights ago.

To stay with her morn.

The words are her morn is not going to make it.

I'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 morn 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.

I've saved up $50,000.

We can start doing that...

"Sending a search team to all possible location
for thorough searching".

Have you found what you lost?

I want to tell him his wife is dead.

Which is more cruel, the truth or the lie?

If you were to die,

should you keep it from someone you care about?

The thing for you to do is to make more money.

And take care of your kids, send them to school.

I'm doing all that now.

The stairs are steep and smelly.

What a garbage dump this is?

Only my girl is stupid enough to work here.

You blood-suckers.

Aren't you off yet, Jane?

Just a few more calls to make.

But this is Saturday.

And they're not paying overtime.

I'm not going to wait for you.

I'm coming.

Hurry up!

I don't have a life time to wait for you.

You've lost weight again, watch your diet.

You'll get sick not eating properly, right!

You should follow my advice more!

I'll help you.

- No need.
- Let me give you a hand.

I can manage, Miss, thanks.

Are you sure?

I'm used to it, I do it everyday.

Let me help.

I'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.

I must go, I'm sorry.

At that moment I decided that.

There were no magic and no magicians in the world.

Little baby is missing.

I'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?

Sir.

The kid has serious asthma.

It could be fatal.

But I'm only here to gather information.

I'm not in charge.

Let me call up headquarters.

Thank you.

It's been almost 4 hours.

She couldn't have disappeared on her own.

Must find her.

I'll try that restaurant.

What's on a 3 year old's mind?

I'll be a genius if I 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.

No, no...

Get your tickets.

I'll get it.

I look over there.

Lam has awoken.

It has turned rather serious now.

It must do more test.

You must have dumped my medicine.

She must discipline herself.

A doctor can only do so much.

I'd like to keep her here.

May be for a month.

I never thought my father cared...

until my brother told me something
while I was in hospital.

Dad!

Is she OK?

She's fine, she could continue her work.

"That Worm" was 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, I'll say.

Doctor Chan.

Yes.

I'll like to talk With you.

Alone please.

Dr. Chan, I know you're a straight forward person,

What's the odds now?

It has worsen to say the least.

That's always a chance, though slim.

OK.

It's also up to you and your will power.

And you must follow my prescription.

That Worm.

Mr. Worm.

Excuse me, I'm not Mr. Worm.

That Worm, just That Worm.

OK...

As much as I've been informed,
Lam's been hanging around with you.

And,

thank you.

Let's go see Lam.

OK.

What's up?

She didn't utter one word.

Didn't even look my way.

At least, I know who you are.

And I thought I was observant.

I am so stupid.

I'm not even qualified to handle
any lost & found work.

May be you're right.

I'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?

Or to leave him later when I die?

I dare not whisper a word,

nor to take one glance at him,

or I might not be able to
persist with my decision.

Where are you going?

I'm in a hurry.

Wait for me.

Michelle, come on

our bread & butter is here, come on.

Can you please picture him & me? Thank you.

My grandfather and she were partners.

She's our housekeeper's daughter.

I just do it to help her to make a
little money from the tourist.

Are you alright?

I'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 I located you back then.

Of course!

A Mr. Lost & Found.

Because of salmon, salmon from Scotland.

Really?

Yes.

Then Ted elaborates what he said the other day...

he says nature is fascinating...

What's in the mountain might go 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 were born...

When they get there, they make love.

Then, they give birth of young salmon.

And then they just die.

Sorry, I shouldn't have said that.

When I first got the news of my illness.

I 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 old 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.

It'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 favourable for getting pregnant.

But only before noon.

Now it's 3pm,

I'm sorry, the time is out.

Wait a minute.

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 OK.

Says who?

Marco Polo.

Marco Polo?

Marco Polo is Italian,

not even British.

What do you want, a boy or a girl?

A girl, certainly a girl.

This is your salmon caviar, enjoy your dinner.

It's going to be chilly, I've got you some wood.

It's probably the last fire of the season.

Summer is coming!

You know all the stuffs I told you
about the folklore.

It's all true.

But only for having a boy, not a girl.

It's bad luck for me!

Goodnight.

How's my cooking?

Yummy, I ate it all, see.

Tomorrow, I'll take you to the edge of the world.

Tomorrow?

Too soon?

No.

I'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"...

If this would be the new world

they left their homeland for...

What kind of a god-forsaken place
they had left behind then?

Are you OK?

I'm OK.

Then I remember Worm's words:
"One can never be presumptions..."

Superficial logic often belie the truth.

Survival here

is both fighting against

and harmonizing with nature...

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 coast line.

Today is the day the cold current
changes to warm current.

I remember you told me

no one will forget their homeland.

Last night I realized that I missed a place.

And a person too.

How do you know?

Mr. Lost & Found.

I'm sorry.

I want to go home.

That's easy.

Someone's here to take you.

After fishing yesterday I went into town and...

found this guy wandering around with
a postcard in his hand.

Asking direction in Chinese.

I offer to take him with me.

I 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.

I told him, he better come see for himself.

Sending a search team to all possible
locations for a thorough search.

Negotiable price.

Mission accomplished.

Worm and I got married...

He returned to his work

and I continued my treatment.

But as we've learned from our rose garden...

Life often takes its own turns...

At least, I've tried.

Wai surprised everyone with her
show of strength...

Nice apartment.

I rent it.

Good taste.

Yee refused to accept the fact,
that's out of character, but I was touched...

You arranged for Lam's audition,

didn't you?

I have nothing to do with it.

My producers asked her to.

Thank you.

Hello.

Sorry I'm late for the funeral.

It's OK.

Thank you.

Worm, I'm sorry.

Are you OK?

I'm OK.

I wanted to come earlier, couldn't get a ticket.

It's high season.

How's business with the hotel?

It's OK.

Are you alright?

Yes.

Everybody's here, let's take a picture.

OK, everybody.

I got pregnant by accident soon

after the wedding.

I made a choice...

and I will never regret it.

Who does she want? Dad or grandfather?

Daddy will take you.

Just like your dad, don't you?

Good.

Move over a bit, yes, smile! OK!

I'd never been a good daughter...

I hope my daughter will bring him joy
and affection like I never did before.

The big secret that I thought
nobody ever let me in...

I think I know what it is now...

that every bit and piece of life can be magic...

and everyone can be a magician.
