Earth to Earth, Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust

Accept this offering of clothes and food.

Be happy and content.

Hell's gate will only open for you briefly.

Don't hesitate or fool around…

Please take me home.

Ms. Sung.

Long time no see. Why are you up so late?

Mr. Ping! I just saw something terrible.

You shouldn't pick up things in the street.

They're dirty.

Ms. Sung! Ms.Sung!

Don't go wandering around the next few days!

What happens in the next few days?

It's the July Ghost Festival.

Ghosts everywhere!

Ghosts everywhere! I knew you'd missed me.

Jane?

Joe, I am back!

Why were you opening somebody else's door?

I was just joking around.

I won't leave you again!

We'll be together, now and forever.

I'll be good and behave myself.

Don't you trust me?

How can I trust you?

You left me once…

...you'll do it again.

Are you upset with me? You said you'd wait for me.

So what if I did?

You went to Taiwan and changed your mobile number.

Jane, listen to me!

I just want to tell you...

…how much I missed you these 3 months.

I was afraid you don't want me anymore.

How could I dump you?

Look at me!

Take a deep breath.

Watch me.

Breathe in

Breathe in

breathe out.

Feel any better?

You still get tense so easily.

Did you follow the doctor's instructions?

Take your medicine daily?

What's that noise?

Nothing. Maybe a rat.

Let's go inside.

Let's go inside.

Nothing. Go on in.

When I left…

...I swore each time I thought of you…

...I'd prick myself with a needle.

But now I know that you are all I ever want.

Will we be together forever?

I love you till eternity.

You always sound so convincing.

I'm telling the truth.

What's the matter?

I warn you! If you break your promise…

…there'll be retribution!

Sometimes you're so gentle.

And other times so short-tempered.

Don't you find me exciting? We'll be together forever.

Even die together!

Ok. From tomorrow, we will be together forever.

Why tomorrow?

Because tomorrow is a good start!

Look, it's almost dawn! Get some sleep.

Hosie? Hosie?

Please leave a message after the tone!

Hmm…

Just want to tell you I miss you…

...so much.

No matter what happens…

...I will always be with you.

Put down the knife! Easy, man. It's Okay.

Give me your handcuffs.

Don't move! Freeze!

What's wrong with you? Where are your handcuffs?

Left them at my neighbour's.

Walking on the wild side, huh?

Jane's the wild one!

She came back from Taiwan yesterday.

What about your Nanjing lover?

Sure you can handle this?

Beware of dire consequences!

I can't return home, please help me.

I can't return home, please help me.

Help me.

I can't return home, please help me.

What's wrong?

This is not your home!

I'm catching a flight tonight..must go home for my luggage..

I left all my stuff at home.. I must leave tonight..

I spent ages saving the money. Can't afford to be late..

You forgot your keys again?

The keys?

My boyfriend took them.

He promised to come back for me.

No…

…he left the keys with me.

What's wrong?

Yes...Joe. He promised he'd come back for me.

Joe won't come back for you because I am back.

No.

We made love twice last night.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No..No..

Don't play spooky with me!

Wanna play? OK!

Sorry! The station suddenly called yesterday.

I can't come back for you. Don't be mad. Miss you. Joe.

Hosie! Hosie! Don't be mad at me..

I got an urgent case, so I couldn't come back..

But I missed you a lot yesterday.. I really did..

I promise, I will wait for you!

You are messing about with me.

Everyone is.

Come out! Don't hide! Come out!

Come out!

Don't scare me!

Don't play spooky!

Thank you!

I'm home at last.

But I can't go to New York anymore.

Why?

It's just 5 minutes..

Don't go tomorrow. Stay for one more month, ok?

One more month makes no difference.

My semester is about to start.

Will you think of me in New York?

Yes.

You're so sure?

I wouldn't lie to you!

I remember my own deeds…

...and of course the man I love.

Come on! Just for my sake!

The world is too big for you to understand me.

I can't give up what I want for others.

What are you doing?

Now you cannot leave!

What's this?

You are under arrest.

I'll chop off my hand to escape.

Whose hand? Your hand? I'll miss it.

Maybe you'll be the one to chop it off.

What do you want?

I won't let you get hurt!

I will wait for you.

I don't believe you! If you wait,

You wouldn't beg me to stay behind.

OK..

Hey! Unlock the handcuffs first!

What do you want?

Be back in 5 minutes!

The key is in the handcuffs!

I'll be back in 5 minutes!

I really don't want to die.

Joe!

What do you want?

Why are you here?

Hosie! Hosie! Hosie!

We were just playing with handcuffs..

You killed her.

- She died, - You killed her.

How come she's drowned?

She has turned into a ghost! Run!

Hold the knife…

I am handcuffed..

- What do you want?

Run! As fast as you can!

Jane! Run! As fast

Jane! Are you okay? Jane!

Jane!

Jane!

Jane!

Jane! Jane! It's Joe!

Jane!

Jane!

Jane! It's ok... its ok..

Quick! Answer the phone to ask for help! Be quick!

Help!

Press "1" for latest benefits from Next World Telecom.

Help!

Go back to hell!

Why should I be the one to die?

Run!

Jane! Jane!

Joe! Joe! Open the door!

I don't want to stay here.

You promised to come back in 5 minutes.

Joe!

Joe!

Let him go! It is not his fault!

If you'd come back, I would not have died!

It was my fault!

If I hadn't come back, you'd have been alive.

Kill me instead!

No!

Jane!

Hosie! It's not Jane's fault! It's mine!

Let her go! I'll pay my dues to you.

I didn't keep my promise to come back.

I caused your death.

I promised we'll be together.

Let go of her.

I won't lie to you again.

Promise me! Don't kill Jane.

No!

I swore we'd die together.

I promised not to let her die.

I want the earliest flight to New York tomorrow.

Madam, please give me your full name.

Just a moment.

My name is Yee Chen Sung.

Y-E-E C-H-E-N S-U-N-G

Hey, Yuki.

Did you have another nightmare last night?

That same one?

Sorry. Did I wake you up?

We talked about this the other day.

Why don’t you go to see a psychiatrist?

Hey, I’m not crazy.

Everyone has experienced recurring dreams, right?

If you think like that...

...you’re gonna keep having nightmares, forever.

Well, you might be right.

I will go sometime soon.

Welcome!

This is for you.

Have a nice time!

Yuki?

You know that guard, Asai?

He's been missing from work for days.

What? Mr.Asai?

You two were dating, weren’t you?

I was wondering if you knew anything about him.

The director of the aquarium seems to be worried about him.

How would I know?

Besides, it’s been awhile since I broke up with him.

I see

Well then…sorry.

Look!

There's still one visitor here.

Excuse me. The aquarium is closing now.

Is something wrong?

Where did that boy in the yellow sweatshirt go?

About this tall. He was just here.

What?

There is no one is here.

Just three of us.

Are you all right?

I am sorry…I think I am just tired.

I better get going. Good night.

See you tomorrow.

See you tomorrow.

You’re having the same nightmare over and over, right?

Yes.

You’ve said you vaguely recall things from your dreams.

Sometimes we forget things…

...but they are still buried in our subconscious.

Let’s go back to your childhood...

...to see if we can find out more about that boy.

Are you ready?

Please relax yourself.

Take a deep breath.

You will gradually feel relaxed.

Now, let’s slowly rewind the clock.

A year ago, three years ago…

when you were in high school, middle school...

…ten years old, nine years old…

Idiot!

Give it back to me!

Come and get it if you can!

Idiot! Who cares, go get it yourself.

"Hyu"…[wheezing]

Hyu?

Yuki?

Yuki?

Yuki?

What are you doing?

-What is that? Show it to me! -Stop it!!

You'll scare Hyu.

What are you talking about? There's nothing in here.

Mom, can’t you see it?

Hey, where did you get that!?

Why is it here?

I don’t want that in my house. Throw it away!

I will throw it away.

Yuki!! Give it to me!

Give it to me!

So then, what did you do with Hyu?

Well, I took it back to where it used to be.

I went to see Hyu secretly on my way home from school.

I fed it everyday.

Then Hyu grew up.

How big did it become?

Hmm…

...as big as my mom.

That big…?

Somebody help!

Please, help me!

Now you started to see your co-worker Mr.Asai, right?

You had a relationship with Asai before, didn’t you?

Yes. I’d been with him until the Spring before last.

Why did you break up with him?

He was cheating on me with his ex-girlfriend.

I can never forgive things like that!

My mom…

Are you all right, Yuki?

Satoshi !

What's wrong?

She was… there...

My mom…

It’s all right, Yuki. Nobody is here.

Don’t be afraid. I am here with you.

Mr.Karatani.

Did you know that Yuki lost most of her childhood memories?

Yes, she told me about it.

Did you know that Yuki had a "pet”…

...when she was young?

No.

It was something… indescribable.

She called it Hyu.

Hyu?

This is the first I've heard of it.

Does it have something to do with Yuki’s delusions?

Probably.

This is only my hypothesis, but…

… it seems Yuki suppresses her emotions…

… due to stress from childhood trauma.

I suspect she created an imaginary creature named Hyu...

…as a substitute for her repressed emotions.

Have you heard of multiple personality disorder?

Yuki's is an exceptional case.

Yuki's is an exceptional case.

Something very destructive.

… onto something which is not human.

Something with the power to hurt other people.

Doctor….can that be true?

Yuki? …No way!

Pay careful attention to every single signal from Yuki.

I need your help to treat Yuki’s condition.

Yuki!

It can't be true.

Let me know immediately when Yuki acts strangely.

Even in the slightest way.

Hello? Is this Dr.Kawai?

It's Karatani,

sorry to bother you so late.

I wanted to talk about Yuki’s mother.

Yes.

I went back home to secretly look into her stuff today.

I found something strange.

It’s a newspaper article...

…about her mother’s accident.

I'd never seen it before.

Hello? This is Kawai speaking.

Hello?

This is Karatani. May I speak with Dr.Kawai?

I'm sorry to make you come to a place like this.

Not at all, what’s wrong?

You can always see me at the clinic any time.

Doctor.

Why did you tell Satoshi about Hyu?

Everything is for your treatment.

I needed his help to cure your condition.

It’s my treatment.

It has nothing to do with Satoshi.

Yuki, you have dissociative identity disorder.

You've created s second personality…

...and are unconsciously using it to take action for you.

You don’t believe me...!

...do you?

I asked you to come here...

...because I wanted you to know that...

...Hyu really exists.

Hyu is …

...in here!!

Yuki, you told me that...

Yamashita bullied you in elementary school.

I didn’t know.

Why do you ask me things like that?

What? There's nothing here!

What do you have? Give it to me.

Stop it!

- What did you put in there? - Stop it!

There's nothing here!

There's nothing.

nothing Stop it!

Yuki...Help me!

No! It wasn’t me…

So, you remember when your mother passed away.

I have heard your mother was strict with you...

… after she got a divorce from your father.

You must have had a hard time then.

I know nothing about it.

You are lying.

This is bullshit.

Give it to me!

Yuki! Give it to me!

Such mistreatment from someone who you trust the most...

...can carve a deep scar...

...a wound that left a hole in your heart.

Do you think that could have triggered Hyu's appearance?

No!

I’m not accusing you of anything.

I just want you to recall.

You are separated into two personalities.

We have to join them back together.

Take a look at this picture.

Mr. Asai was found dead the other day.

He was found on the riverside around here...

… just like your mother and Yamashita.

Your colleague said that Asai's been…

… pestering to get back together with you.

No.

I didn’t do it! It’s all because of Hyu!

Yuki.

Listen to me.

You are Hyu!

Stop it!

Yuki!

Satoshi?

Are you alright, Yuki?

What the…?

What happened, Yuki?

I didn’t kill him, Satoshi.

It’s not me.

Oh, Yuki...

Why?

No.

It’s not me.

Please listen to me!

You're not gonna tell me that Hyu did it, are you?

I trusted you.

I wanted to believe you.

Believe me…

I didn’t do it…

Look!

There is Hyu.

Satoshi!

No!

It’s not me!

Yuki! Get a hold of yourself!

Stop it!

Hyu.

Hyu is coming!

Listen to me! Hyu doesn’t exist!

Please! Don’t shout at me!

Cut it out!

You made everything up! It’s only your delusion!

I shouldn’t have met you.

Don’t.

No! Don’t! Don't leave me!

No! Get away!

Stop it! Stop it!

Prang has suffered a severe brain concussion.

It's caused her to lose part of her memory.

Imagine that...

...several pages in a book had been ripped out...

and now you can't connect the whole story.

She still has a chance to regain her memory.

It all depends on time and the care...

…she gets from those closest to her.

Now an update on the child kidnapping gang.

The police have captured one of the suspects…

...but he is denying all allegations.

Lately a two-year-old boy was reported missing...

...only minutes after his mother left him alone.

The police are hunting for the kidnapper…

…and hope to retrieve the child as soon as possible.

Prang…Though you'll never forgive me for what I did…

...I want to tell you I still love you. Praew.

I'm Prang. I'm Wit. I'm Sun.

We're not home right now.

Please leave your message after the beep.

Sun.

Sun.

Sun!

Sun! Sun!

Sun!

My child is missing. He's been kidnapped.

Somebody broke into my house!

Please calm down and tell me where this happened.

Someone broke into my house and took away my son…

…and you want me to calm down?

Isn't it your job to keep lunatics rom breaking into my house?

My son has been abducted. What should I do now?

Mommy!

Sun! Where have you been?

Hello!

I'm so worried about you.

Are you all right?

Who is it?

Identify yourself…or else I'll shoot!

Mommy…I can't sleep.

Sun…why are you still up, honey?

[Praew's address]

Excuse me.

I'm looking for a person named Praew. Do you know her?

Oh, Ms. Prang.

Of course I know Ms. Praew.

You two are good friends.

And you've been here so many times already.

What did you say? I'm a friend of Praew?

Yes, you are.

It's been a long time since you were here.

Ever since you and she had a big fight.

A big fight?

Yes.

By the way, Ms. Prang, didn't you know?

Ms. Praew just passed away last night.

She was swimming in the pool of this condo.

The police said that she got a cramp...

…and drowned.

Would it be possible for me to look inside her room?

All right. I'll let you in.

But you must not tell anyone. Otherwise, I'll get in trouble.

Sun…You play here, Okay? I'll be right back.

Okay.

Finally we've made it, Prang!

No..No! Hold it! Don't throw up yet.

Are you all right, Prang?

Oh! My head is exploding! I'm gonna die!

This headache is killing me, Praew.

I told you not to drink too much.

Goddamn headache…Thanks

I guess I won't die.

Did Prang know about us?

Praew.

What?

Can I stay with you here tonight?

I don't think so. You'd better go back to be with Prang.

Mommy…I'm bored. I wanna go home.

Are you hungry, honey?

Prang, you knew that Praew was dead, right?

I saw you at her condo today.

Wit?

If you remember Praew, you may remember everything.

How is our son?

He's watching TV downstairs.

Are you still taking medication prescribed by the doctor?

Yes.

Then you are still…

Wit, where are you? I wanna talk to you.

Wit! Wit!

Hello? Hello?

Mommy

Mommy. I'm hungry.

Okay, honey.

What's the matter? You don't like the food?

So what's wrong?

I'm full now. I wanna watch the cartoon.

Okay…Let's go watch it.

Praew…I think I've fallen in love with Wit.

I'm serious.

I think I love him.

As his ex-girlfriend,

can you advise me whether I should tell him right now

or wait until he tells me first?

Hell no! A girl never makes the first move.

What the hell do you want me to wait for?

I don't want my man got stolen by other chicks, you know?

Prang…Are you really sure about this?

Wit is such a womanizer.

So what? The bottom line is I love him.

You've made your decision so why ask for my opinion?

Well, it's because you're my best friend.

Don't try to please me. Come on! Cheers!

Happy Birthday…This is for your birthday.

Thanks..Thanks...Thanks.

- Can I unwrap it? What is it? - Yeah, go ahead.

Unwrap it…Prang.

Praew.

Wit! Are you fucking around with that bitch?

Get your ass down here now!

Wit.

Wit…Stop!

Didn't you hear me? I told you to stop. We need to talk.

You've been cheating on me. You've never loved Sun.

Why did you do this to me? Praew's my friend!

You've got to listen to me.

For crying out loud!

You've got to accept the truth!

What are you doing? Where are you going?

Let go of me, you bastard.

Do you see our son standing right here?

Our son? Have you ever loved him?

If you love him, you won't be sleeping with that slut.

- Where are you going? - Let me go!

Though your daddy doesn't love you, I always will.

Remember, honey. I won't leave you no matter what.

I promise.

Guess…it's a boy or a girl?

I'll be right back.

Happy Birthday to you.

You gotta take it a nice picture. It's my son's birthday.

If you can't do it, get out of here.

Sun…

I'm sorry.

Mommy, Don't you love me anymore?

Come on! Be careful, son.

Mommy loves you very much, honey.

You promised that you won't leave me.

Mommy…I'm thirsty.

Having fun?

Sun…

Are you going to leave me, Mommy?

I'm so sorry.

You promised me that you wouldn't leave me!

But Mommy can't be with you, baby.

I'm Prang. I'm Wit. I'm Sun.

We're not home right now.

Please leave your message after the beep.

I've come for you, mommy.

Prang…I'm scared.

Since that day, I haven't had a single happy night.

Neither has Wit. We haven't seen each other since.

Sun's come back to see me everyday.

He must be angry that I caused his death.

Sun's already dead.

The boy who is with you is not a human being.

Sun is dead. You must remember that.

You must recall this fact.

Sun is dead!

Sun!

Sun…Let Mommy go.

I've come for you, mommy.

Prang.

Wit.

Are you all right?

What's going on here?

Wit.

What are you looking for?

Are you looking for Sun?

Sun.

Sun.

Prang, where are you going?

Prang!

Sun…It's me, Daddy.

You liked me riding on your back, didn't you?

Sun.

You've never loved me or my mommy!

I've lost you, my son.

Now I don't have anyone left in my life.

Don't take your Mommy away from me.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I have no one else left at all.

Sun.

If you love Mommy and Daddy, you must not do it.

You've got to give Daddy a chance.

It's all my fault.

I know I'm wrong.

Sun, don't do it.

Sun, come to Daddy, will you?

Wit…Wit.

Wit.

Mommy.

Sun.

I'm Prang. I'm Wit. I'm Sun.

We're not home right now.
