<i>In the isolated hilltop mansion</i>
<i>of the Vuong Dinh family,</i>

6
00:00:33,916 --> 00:00:35,583
<i>five people were murdered</i>

7
00:00:35,666 --> 00:00:39,000
<i>based on the Five Elements:</i>
<i>Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.</i>

8
00:00:39,791 --> 00:00:44,375
<i>The suspect, Vu Ha Phuong,</i>
<i>was arrested during her final kill.</i>

9
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,458
<i>She is the mansion's owner.</i>

10
00:00:47,541 --> 00:00:50,541
<i>All the victims were her relatives.</i>

11
00:00:50,625 --> 00:00:52,000
<i>Early findings revealed</i>

12
00:00:52,083 --> 00:00:55,458
<i>she was performing</i>
<i>a ritual for a higher power</i>

13
00:00:55,541 --> 00:00:57,750
<i>called "The Divine."</i>

14
00:01:06,916 --> 00:01:07,916
Hello, Mistress.

15
00:01:13,833 --> 00:01:15,666
What a great mother you are.

16
00:01:20,625 --> 00:01:22,166
To protect your own son,

17
00:01:23,208 --> 00:01:26,625
you would willfully
smash another son's head,

18
00:01:27,791 --> 00:01:30,000
then take the blame

19
00:01:31,166 --> 00:01:33,250
and spend the rest of your life here.

20
00:01:34,875 --> 00:01:36,125
Mistress…

21
00:01:36,208 --> 00:01:39,041
Do you remember all that had happened?

VUONG DINH MANSION

23
00:01:45,458 --> 00:01:48,708
<i>My first two children, they were girls.</i>

24
00:01:49,500 --> 00:01:51,666
<i>A great sin.</i>

25
00:01:52,416 --> 00:01:54,875
<i>My mother-in-law said The Divine</i>
<i>told her that</i>

26
00:01:54,958 --> 00:01:57,333
<i>if two women were pregnant together,</i>

27
00:01:57,416 --> 00:02:00,083
<i>the Vuong Dinh family's chances</i>
<i>of having a son</i>

28
00:02:01,291 --> 00:02:03,250
<i>would rise!</i>

29
00:02:03,833 --> 00:02:05,541
Mercy, The Divine!

30
00:02:06,125 --> 00:02:07,750
My daughter-in-law

31
00:02:07,833 --> 00:02:11,458
has gravely sinned:
birthing daughters, twice!

32
00:02:12,375 --> 00:02:14,625
We've thus transgressed!

33
00:02:15,250 --> 00:02:18,083
Is it true that having a son,

34
00:02:18,875 --> 00:02:22,583
will end all the pain, Mother?

35
00:02:26,041 --> 00:02:30,500
Forgive us, The Divine! Have mercy!

36
00:02:30,583 --> 00:02:32,750
Please grant the Vuong Dinh family

37
00:02:33,708 --> 00:02:36,208
a son as a child…

38
00:02:36,291 --> 00:02:40,666
to extend our lineage,
so we can continue serving you!

39
00:02:41,250 --> 00:02:46,625
More oxytocin for her! We’re out of time!

40
00:03:04,333 --> 00:03:05,250
The child is born!

41
00:03:08,708 --> 00:03:10,625
A boy… or a girl?

42
00:03:12,750 --> 00:03:13,583
A boy!

43
00:03:21,666 --> 00:03:23,958
<i>Praise The Divine for conceiving us!</i>

44
00:03:24,041 --> 00:03:28,541
<i>Praise the shifting Five Elements</i>
<i>that forever keep the family prosperous,</i>

45
00:03:28,625 --> 00:03:29,833
<i>yin and yang balanced,</i>

46
00:03:29,916 --> 00:03:32,791
<i>and our ancestors' Nine Commandments</i>
<i>fully upheld!</i>

47
00:03:32,875 --> 00:03:36,833
<i>We willingly offer our flesh</i>
<i>and spirit to you.</i>

48
00:04:19,541 --> 00:04:21,416
<i>Greetings, listeners!</i>

49
00:04:21,500 --> 00:04:24,333
<i>Here is your essential news of the day.</i>

50
00:04:24,416 --> 00:04:31,291
<i>It's 3:40 p.m., Friday, December 23, 1999.</i>

51
00:04:31,833 --> 00:04:34,000
<i>This afternoon</i>
<i>will see a tropical depression,</i>

52
00:04:34,083 --> 00:04:36,500
<i>with light to moderate rain.</i>

53
00:04:36,583 --> 00:04:38,041
<i>Unless necessary,</i>

54
00:04:38,125 --> 00:04:41,125
<i>everyone should stay at home</i>
<i>and keep doors closed.</i>

55
00:04:41,208 --> 00:04:45,833
<i>We're about to enter a new era,</i>
<i>a new era of faith!</i>

56
00:04:45,916 --> 00:04:48,750
<i>Choose to hear only crucial information</i>

57
00:04:48,833 --> 00:04:52,000
<i>don't panic, and don't trust others</i>
<i>so easily!</i>

58
00:04:52,958 --> 00:04:56,375
<i>The reason being, quite recently,</i>
<i>a long-disbanded religious group</i>

59
00:04:56,458 --> 00:05:00,166
<i>is seeing new members rebuilding a cult</i>

60
00:05:00,250 --> 00:05:03,541
<i>that once caused many painful events.</i>

61
00:05:03,625 --> 00:05:09,041
<i>Be selective with what you believe,</i>
<i>for not everyone speaks the truth.</i>

62
00:06:06,583 --> 00:06:07,416
Vinh An!

63
00:06:11,750 --> 00:06:12,583
Auntie.

64
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,583
The prodigal son has at last
found his way home!

65
00:06:22,666 --> 00:06:25,875
So, bored of adventuring, kiddo?

66
00:06:26,791 --> 00:06:28,791
I've returned to visit Mother.

67
00:06:30,333 --> 00:06:31,375
And everyone.

68
00:06:32,125 --> 00:06:38,250
Surely everyone is dying to see
you at dinner, but I won't be there.

69
00:06:38,333 --> 00:06:41,208
Auntie has an appointment. See you later!

70
00:06:42,041 --> 00:06:45,583
Mistress expects everyone to eat dinner,
ma'am.

71
00:06:46,541 --> 00:06:50,250
You're certain her "everyone"…
also includes me?

72
00:06:51,416 --> 00:06:54,500
Yes, ma'am. That means you're included,

73
00:06:54,583 --> 00:06:56,833
but not the bouquet.

74
00:06:57,625 --> 00:07:00,208
Can the bouquet go instead of me?

75
00:07:00,291 --> 00:07:01,750
No, ma’am.

76
00:07:07,041 --> 00:07:08,416
The Mistress awaits, sir.

77
00:07:08,500 --> 00:07:09,416
Yes.

78
00:07:32,791 --> 00:07:34,125
Is the US pretty, big brother?

79
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,250
An's home, he's home,
little brother's home!

80
00:08:09,541 --> 00:08:10,416
Mother.

81
00:08:17,750 --> 00:08:18,958
Dear Mother, I'm home.

82
00:08:23,458 --> 00:08:24,625
Home is good.

83
00:09:11,458 --> 00:09:12,666
From this moment,

84
00:09:13,250 --> 00:09:16,500
Vinh An will replace me
as the head of the Vuong Dinh family.

85
00:09:36,166 --> 00:09:37,208
Mother…

86
00:09:38,541 --> 00:09:41,000
VUONG DINH MANSION
1974

87
00:09:51,541 --> 00:09:53,541
Your son was born in the Fire Hour.

88
00:09:54,708 --> 00:09:56,125
Beneath the Harming Star.

89
00:09:56,833 --> 00:09:58,916
His future is blood-drenched.

90
00:10:04,458 --> 00:10:05,583
An early death!

91
00:10:07,958 --> 00:10:09,208
Save him, please, Mother.

92
00:10:09,833 --> 00:10:12,583
Please ask The Divine to save my son.

93
00:10:13,208 --> 00:10:15,291
He can’t die young!

94
00:10:16,083 --> 00:10:17,583
I beg you…

95
00:10:18,458 --> 00:10:20,416
<i>The other wife, Hong,</i>
<i>knows how to give birth, unlike you!</i>

96
00:10:21,041 --> 00:10:23,875
<i>Her son came out</i>
<i>just half a moment before,</i>

97
00:10:23,958 --> 00:10:26,166
<i>yet his Hour is Water,</i>

98
00:10:26,250 --> 00:10:28,250
<i>and his Star, Knowledge.</i>

99
00:10:28,333 --> 00:10:31,041
<i>His whole life is blessed by The Divine!</i>

100
00:10:31,916 --> 00:10:34,541
<i>A destiny befitting an heir.</i>

101
00:10:35,625 --> 00:10:37,541
<i>For you to save your son,</i>

102
00:10:37,625 --> 00:10:40,875
<i>you must fully trust</i>
<i>The Divine’s protection!</i>

103
00:10:41,791 --> 00:10:43,708
<i>Serving The Divine is not just a task,</i>

104
00:10:44,666 --> 00:10:48,916
<i>it is a life that you must live!</i>

105
00:10:49,833 --> 00:10:52,958
<i>For the sake of this family's true heir,</i>
<i>the eldest son of the eldest son,</i>

106
00:10:53,791 --> 00:10:57,166
<i>against my will I'll do a ritual</i>
<i>to change their fates!</i>

107
00:10:57,250 --> 00:10:58,625
My son, who's older,

108
00:10:59,958 --> 00:11:01,666
shall live life in peace.

109
00:11:03,500 --> 00:11:05,000
This son, who's younger,

110
00:11:06,291 --> 00:11:08,708
shall face storms and waves.

111
00:11:09,666 --> 00:11:13,166
He must never enter the Altar Room,
not even half a step!

112
00:11:27,583 --> 00:11:29,916
It's been so long since Vinh An was home

113
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,583
so may we skip
the kooky-spooky prayer tonight, big sis?

114
00:11:34,583 --> 00:11:36,291
Why are your words so blasphemous?

115
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:39,333
This house's traditions,

116
00:11:40,250 --> 00:11:42,791
regardless of who leaves or returns,

117
00:11:42,875 --> 00:11:44,166
must never change.

118
00:11:44,250 --> 00:11:48,625
Without any change soon, there'll be
more leaving and less returning.

119
00:12:01,708 --> 00:12:03,541
Praise The Divine for conceiving us!

120
00:12:03,625 --> 00:12:08,333
Praise the shifting Five Elements
that forever keep the family prosperous,

121
00:12:08,916 --> 00:12:10,458
yin and yang balanced,

122
00:12:11,041 --> 00:12:14,083
and our ancestors'
Nine Commandments fully upheld!

123
00:12:14,166 --> 00:12:18,750
We willingly offer our flesh
and spirit to you.

124
00:12:25,416 --> 00:12:28,875
Done! Let’s toast! And eat while it's hot!

125
00:12:31,500 --> 00:12:32,958
Go ahead and eat, everyone.

126
00:12:36,083 --> 00:12:39,875
All those years studying abroad,
so used to eating whatever you like,

127
00:12:39,958 --> 00:12:42,333
now returning for this grand family meal…

128
00:12:42,416 --> 00:12:44,125
Must feel confining, huh?

129
00:12:46,166 --> 00:12:49,875
Confining or not, he's family.

130
00:12:50,666 --> 00:12:52,625
Nothing will ever change that.

131
00:13:10,291 --> 00:13:12,541
Eat properly. Mother will scold you.

132
00:13:47,583 --> 00:13:49,375
I'm so hungry.

133
00:13:50,083 --> 00:13:51,833
-Mrs. Hue.
-Yes, ma'am?

134
00:13:51,916 --> 00:13:54,416
Take Little Dong to the back
and get him some rice.

135
00:13:54,500 --> 00:13:56,333
I feel bad that he's hungry.

136
00:13:56,833 --> 00:13:57,916
Yes, ma'am.

137
00:13:59,666 --> 00:14:00,750
Thank you, ma'am.

138
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:06,166
Little Dong is so sweet,

139
00:14:07,083 --> 00:14:09,083
just like Vinh An when he was young.

140
00:14:10,166 --> 00:14:11,291
No, sis.

141
00:14:11,833 --> 00:14:14,750
To me, the younger kid is the sweet one.

142
00:14:15,333 --> 00:14:16,875
Vinh An is just lucky to be healthy

143
00:14:16,958 --> 00:14:19,708
to then hop and skip in all directions.

144
00:14:19,791 --> 00:14:22,875
As for Thai Phong,
he sits where you seat him.

145
00:14:26,958 --> 00:14:29,875
As kids, the brothers were very close.

146
00:14:29,958 --> 00:14:31,208
Simply thick as thieves.

147
00:14:31,791 --> 00:14:33,750
Every day chasing each other everywhere.

148
00:14:33,833 --> 00:14:35,875
Then when they grew up,

149
00:14:36,791 --> 00:14:38,708
one can still run about,

150
00:14:39,208 --> 00:14:41,333
the other always stays put.

151
00:14:45,666 --> 00:14:46,541
Auntie…

152
00:14:48,500 --> 00:14:49,458
Eat more, Thai Phong.

153
00:14:50,041 --> 00:14:52,708
In this house, you’re my only joy.

154
00:14:53,250 --> 00:14:55,083
Your Auntie loves you.

155
00:15:03,541 --> 00:15:04,458
Silence.

156
00:15:06,208 --> 00:15:07,083
Vinh An!

157
00:15:07,750 --> 00:15:09,833
I almost didn't recognize you earlier.

158
00:15:10,458 --> 00:15:12,500
You've changed so much.

159
00:15:12,583 --> 00:15:15,041
But had Thai Phong been
the one studying abroad,

160
00:15:15,125 --> 00:15:19,208
then no matter how far he'd gone,
I'd still know him.

161
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:21,125
Know something, big sis?

162
00:15:21,875 --> 00:15:23,625
He looks just like his father.

163
00:15:24,166 --> 00:15:25,500
Identical.

164
00:15:28,125 --> 00:15:29,625
But his personality is his mom's--

165
00:15:31,666 --> 00:15:33,041
I mean <i>yours,</i> sis.

166
00:15:51,125 --> 00:15:52,875
She's coming!

167
00:15:52,958 --> 00:15:54,333
She's coming!

168
00:15:54,416 --> 00:15:55,250
Who?

169
00:15:55,333 --> 00:15:57,041
What guest would come at this hour?

170
00:15:57,125 --> 00:15:58,208
The nanny!

171
00:15:59,041 --> 00:16:00,208
She's scary!

172
00:16:00,791 --> 00:16:03,333
She's all bloody and muddy!

173
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,375
Handling a dead body is easier
than a live one, big sis.

174
00:16:11,375 --> 00:16:12,583
Shut up!

175
00:16:14,291 --> 00:16:15,291
Stop talking!

176
00:16:18,041 --> 00:16:20,666
Stop looking!

177
00:16:22,333 --> 00:16:23,583
Shut up!

178
00:16:25,333 --> 00:16:26,750
Stop talking!

179
00:16:27,541 --> 00:16:28,750
What is nanny saying?

180
00:16:30,958 --> 00:16:32,041
She says…

181
00:16:34,833 --> 00:16:36,083
Revenge!

182
00:16:54,625 --> 00:16:56,125
Just eat. Eat.

183
00:17:05,166 --> 00:17:07,916
Whomever accidentally killed her,
she's looking for you.

184
00:17:11,916 --> 00:17:13,125
What do you want?

185
00:17:13,208 --> 00:17:14,333
Can you shut up?

186
00:17:15,208 --> 00:17:17,625
The Divine will punish us all.

187
00:17:18,833 --> 00:17:21,083
Do you want to see this family perish?

188
00:17:24,541 --> 00:17:25,500
Dearest sister…

189
00:17:26,750 --> 00:17:29,833
As a true member of this family,

190
00:17:30,458 --> 00:17:34,125
I say The Divine will not punish anyone.

191
00:17:35,333 --> 00:17:38,791
Only people do that… to other people.

192
00:17:40,291 --> 00:17:43,000
Can't swallow this family meal.

193
00:17:46,458 --> 00:17:48,750
Strangers are more of a treat.

194
00:17:49,791 --> 00:17:50,958
Bon appetit, all.

195
00:18:00,875 --> 00:18:01,916
Mrs. Hue!

196
00:18:02,833 --> 00:18:03,666
Mrs. Hue!

197
00:18:03,750 --> 00:18:05,041
-Mother!
-Mother!

198
00:18:05,708 --> 00:18:07,291
-Mother!
-Mother!

199
00:18:08,791 --> 00:18:09,708
Mother!

200
00:18:11,666 --> 00:18:12,500
Mrs. Hue…

201
00:18:12,583 --> 00:18:13,791
why is there lily pollen here?

202
00:18:14,833 --> 00:18:15,958
Mother!

203
00:18:16,041 --> 00:18:17,333
Breathe with your mouth.

204
00:18:17,416 --> 00:18:19,083
Breathe with mouth!

205
00:18:23,666 --> 00:18:25,000
The Mistress' allergy pills!

206
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:58,375
I promise no one will make you

207
00:18:58,458 --> 00:19:00,625
sad anymore, big sister. Sound good?

208
00:19:12,500 --> 00:19:15,500
In this house, only Phong cares about me.

209
00:19:17,458 --> 00:19:19,375
That's not true. Everyone cares.

210
00:19:20,875 --> 00:19:22,291
No…

211
00:19:23,208 --> 00:19:25,375
No one cares,

212
00:19:25,875 --> 00:19:27,833
because I'm a girl.

213
00:19:29,250 --> 00:19:31,541
But how come Phong is a boy,

214
00:19:31,625 --> 00:19:34,083
but Mother also hates you?

215
00:19:35,041 --> 00:19:37,416
Mother is a bad person, right?

216
00:19:39,625 --> 00:19:40,666
Mother is good.

217
00:19:50,750 --> 00:19:52,041
My sister is so good.

218
00:19:57,333 --> 00:19:58,916
You look cuter with a smile.

219
00:20:06,041 --> 00:20:07,250
Smile, now!

220
00:20:07,833 --> 00:20:10,708
One, two, three!

221
00:20:27,416 --> 00:20:29,750
That was the last photo
of the sister, Vong Nam.

222
00:20:30,750 --> 00:20:31,916
The Metal Death…

223
00:21:56,083 --> 00:21:56,916
Sister.

224
00:21:59,291 --> 00:22:00,208
Give it back!

225
00:22:00,291 --> 00:22:01,583
You can't play with this.

226
00:22:02,541 --> 00:22:03,791
It will hurt you.

227
00:22:05,291 --> 00:22:07,166
You’re a bad person! Bad!

228
00:22:07,250 --> 00:22:08,958
You have to die!

229
00:23:32,541 --> 00:23:33,875
<i>Swear to me, husband…</i>

230
00:23:34,375 --> 00:23:36,583
<i>Did The Divine arrange it?</i>

231
00:23:38,416 --> 00:23:39,375
I swear!

232
00:23:39,958 --> 00:23:41,291
If I did cheat on you,

233
00:23:41,375 --> 00:23:42,875
The Divine would punish me.

234
00:23:43,416 --> 00:23:45,791
I would die instantly.
Do you believe me now?

235
00:23:52,666 --> 00:23:54,458
O, mercy, The Divine!

236
00:23:54,541 --> 00:23:56,166
O, mercy, The Divine!

237
00:23:56,250 --> 00:23:57,291
O, mercy, The Divine!

238
00:24:18,500 --> 00:24:21,041
Mistress hasn't entered this room
for a long time.

239
00:24:21,125 --> 00:24:22,291
So where is my Mother now?

240
00:24:22,833 --> 00:24:24,416
Have you checked the Altar Room?

241
00:24:28,041 --> 00:24:29,916
When you went abroad,

242
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:31,916
many events occurred in this house.

243
00:24:33,500 --> 00:24:37,375
People found a body in the lake
down the slope.

244
00:24:38,250 --> 00:24:40,416
It was the nanny who worked here.

245
00:24:43,541 --> 00:24:44,833
She had no relatives.

246
00:24:45,958 --> 00:24:47,291
No one claimed her.

247
00:24:50,208 --> 00:24:51,625
Perhaps it was an unjust death,

248
00:24:53,750 --> 00:24:55,541
since she returns and weeps nightly.

249
00:24:58,416 --> 00:25:00,666
Out of fear, all the other servants
have left.

250
00:25:01,583 --> 00:25:03,708
Only Mr. Tuan and I stay behind.

251
00:25:04,875 --> 00:25:05,916
But…

252
00:25:06,833 --> 00:25:08,208
We’re used to it now.

253
00:25:11,083 --> 00:25:13,375
Every night, Mistress will go to a place

254
00:25:13,458 --> 00:25:15,750
and perform a ritual
to restrain the spirit.

255
00:25:17,458 --> 00:25:19,416
I don't believe in these ghost stories.

256
00:25:24,791 --> 00:25:26,583
People often believe in lies,

257
00:25:27,083 --> 00:25:28,125
over hard truths.

258
00:25:48,666 --> 00:25:49,833
Come in.

259
00:25:59,708 --> 00:26:00,708
Some tea, Mother.

260
00:26:16,208 --> 00:26:17,750
The tea is fragrant

261
00:26:18,791 --> 00:26:20,041
and bitter.

262
00:26:20,833 --> 00:26:21,666
Mother…

263
00:26:27,458 --> 00:26:29,708
I’m carving spirit tablets for myself,

264
00:26:30,666 --> 00:26:32,750
and everyone in the family.

265
00:26:38,041 --> 00:26:38,916
Mother,

266
00:26:40,583 --> 00:26:41,708
I'll return home,

267
00:26:43,041 --> 00:26:44,666
just not now.

268
00:26:45,875 --> 00:26:47,875
How long will you keep avoiding it?

269
00:26:49,416 --> 00:26:51,125
Big sister will do well, Mother.

270
00:26:51,708 --> 00:26:53,041
Daughters are outsiders!

271
00:26:54,083 --> 00:26:55,541
Only sons,

272
00:26:56,291 --> 00:26:57,708
or the eldest son of the eldest son,

273
00:26:58,750 --> 00:27:02,166
can assume the role to prolong
this family's glory.

274
00:27:04,541 --> 00:27:06,500
You must believe in The Divine!

275
00:27:08,500 --> 00:27:10,791
Do not wrap yourself in fear!

276
00:27:13,375 --> 00:27:15,208
You mean you've never been afraid?

277
00:27:17,958 --> 00:27:19,000
Never.

278
00:27:21,708 --> 00:27:25,333
Because The Divine watches over us all.

279
00:27:26,583 --> 00:27:27,958
If we're protected by The Divine,

280
00:27:28,041 --> 00:27:31,500
then why is my sister Vong Nam
like that, huh, Mother?

281
00:27:32,666 --> 00:27:37,333
Had she been a boy at birth,
no one in this family would be sick!

282
00:27:37,958 --> 00:27:39,708
I will help her in my own way.

283
00:27:40,916 --> 00:27:42,666
I’ve tried everything!

284
00:27:42,750 --> 00:27:45,583
You can't force people
to live in your beliefs.

285
00:27:47,541 --> 00:27:49,458
Serving The Divine is not just a task…

286
00:27:51,083 --> 00:27:54,375
It is a life that you must live.

287
00:28:05,708 --> 00:28:07,708
I can feel it very close by…

288
00:28:08,375 --> 00:28:09,375
What is, Mother?

289
00:28:11,125 --> 00:28:11,958
Death!

290
00:28:13,708 --> 00:28:14,541
Mother…

291
00:29:39,625 --> 00:29:42,958
<i>Mother, I'm so sorry,</i>
<i>please don't cut my hair!</i>

292
00:29:43,041 --> 00:29:44,458
<i>Forgive me, Mother!</i>

293
00:29:44,541 --> 00:29:47,166
<i>I'm sorry!</i>

294
00:29:52,916 --> 00:29:54,583
Must not be a girl,

295
00:29:55,791 --> 00:29:57,625
to balance yin and yang.

296
00:29:58,208 --> 00:30:00,000
To balance yin and yang,

297
00:30:00,541 --> 00:30:01,375
be a boy…

298
00:30:02,250 --> 00:30:05,625
Must not be a girl. Must not…

299
00:30:07,708 --> 00:30:11,458
Balance yin and yang.

300
00:30:12,083 --> 00:30:13,375
Be a boy.

301
00:30:13,458 --> 00:30:14,708
Must be a boy.

302
00:30:14,791 --> 00:30:15,958
Must be a boy!

303
00:30:16,041 --> 00:30:18,416
Or else die, die, die!

304
00:30:20,041 --> 00:30:21,083
Mother, don't cry…

305
00:30:22,083 --> 00:30:24,041
Don't cry anymore.

306
00:30:24,833 --> 00:30:26,416
It's my fault.

307
00:30:27,333 --> 00:30:28,708
It's my fault.

308
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:30,833
Mother…

309
00:30:32,250 --> 00:30:33,250
Don't cry, Mother.

310
00:30:34,750 --> 00:30:36,583
Don't cry, Mother.

311
00:31:06,250 --> 00:31:07,166
Hey, big sis?

312
00:31:07,958 --> 00:31:10,750
How can you call this
"taking care of the grounds"?

313
00:31:14,125 --> 00:31:17,583
Being the matriarch
is not one-and-done work.

314
00:31:19,875 --> 00:31:24,166
That is why this key never leaves my hand.

315
00:31:25,500 --> 00:31:27,750
You call this thing a key?

316
00:31:28,833 --> 00:31:30,500
It's more like a needle,

317
00:31:30,583 --> 00:31:35,458
the very thing you use
to keep all of our mouths shut.

318
00:31:36,166 --> 00:31:40,083
But don’t mistake that you're seeing
earned smiles…

319
00:31:40,791 --> 00:31:43,250
For behind those sealed lips

320
00:31:43,875 --> 00:31:46,875
are secrets forced to be kept down.

321
00:31:46,958 --> 00:31:50,750
Let them be so for too long
and folks might hurl them into your face!

322
00:31:52,833 --> 00:31:54,083
Oh, wait, sis…

323
00:31:54,166 --> 00:31:55,541
But I've been so good!

324
00:31:55,625 --> 00:31:58,000
All those years I've said nothing!

325
00:31:58,083 --> 00:32:00,250
I'm so good I didn't say sh--

326
00:32:07,500 --> 00:32:09,583
The secret will remain a secret,

327
00:32:10,416 --> 00:32:13,250
when only one person is left standing.

328
00:32:16,291 --> 00:32:17,291
Sister!

329
00:32:18,916 --> 00:32:21,125
In all my years living with you,

330
00:32:22,458 --> 00:32:26,458
I still don't get why, despite
not being of the same bloodline,

331
00:32:28,291 --> 00:32:29,625
every time…

332
00:32:30,291 --> 00:32:32,250
I get a close look at you,

333
00:32:32,875 --> 00:32:34,875
I feel that we're so very close.

334
00:32:36,666 --> 00:32:38,041
Do you know why?

335
00:32:39,416 --> 00:32:42,041
Because you look just like Mom!

336
00:32:51,166 --> 00:32:52,333
<i>You're a snake!</i>

337
00:32:55,750 --> 00:32:56,708
Shut up!

338
00:33:27,208 --> 00:33:28,041
Mr. Tuan.

339
00:33:28,958 --> 00:33:29,791
Call the police!

340
00:33:29,875 --> 00:33:30,750
No!

341
00:33:32,250 --> 00:33:34,041
She was punished by The Divine!

342
00:33:36,708 --> 00:33:37,833
White beans!

343
00:33:38,333 --> 00:33:40,500
Bleeding stomach!

344
00:33:40,583 --> 00:33:42,500
Scratched ring finger!

345
00:33:46,750 --> 00:33:47,708
All signs of…

346
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:51,416
drained Metal Element.

347
00:33:51,500 --> 00:33:52,791
It's not, Mother!

348
00:33:53,375 --> 00:33:55,291
Only The Divine's power

349
00:33:56,125 --> 00:33:59,250
can pierce flesh with just a chain.

350
00:33:59,333 --> 00:34:00,625
Mother!

351
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:04,375
-Mr. Tuan?
-Ma'am?

352
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:06,666
Bring her to the Altar Room.

353
00:34:11,875 --> 00:34:13,000
I said no calls!

354
00:35:03,416 --> 00:35:04,541
Kim Thien.

355
00:35:06,625 --> 00:35:07,458
Mother…?

356
00:35:15,458 --> 00:35:16,916
How many months?

357
00:35:18,708 --> 00:35:19,583
It's…

358
00:35:21,666 --> 00:35:24,083
I'm asking,
how long have you been pregnant?

359
00:35:25,083 --> 00:35:26,083
It's…

360
00:35:26,166 --> 00:35:27,375
five months…

361
00:35:33,708 --> 00:35:35,208
Boy or girl?

362
00:35:35,291 --> 00:35:36,166
Well…

363
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:39,833
A girl.

364
00:35:46,916 --> 00:35:49,416
A daughter for a daughter.

365
00:36:49,916 --> 00:36:51,291
I am so sorry…

366
00:36:54,083 --> 00:36:57,916
for how I’ve treated you, Vong Nam!

367
00:36:59,916 --> 00:37:02,833
I thought that by absorbing spells,

368
00:37:03,375 --> 00:37:05,833
I could give birth to you as a son.

369
00:37:11,375 --> 00:37:14,125
But why weren't you a boy?

370
00:37:14,625 --> 00:37:17,166
Why is that, Vong Nam?

371
00:38:53,500 --> 00:38:55,125
I have tried my best.

372
00:38:58,500 --> 00:39:01,750
I always want the happiness
of this family to be

373
00:39:03,083 --> 00:39:04,500
whole.

374
00:39:07,833 --> 00:39:10,166
So why does life treat me like this?

375
00:39:13,291 --> 00:39:16,583
<i>For, if the family's heir is an outsider,</i>

376
00:39:17,375 --> 00:39:19,458
<i>the Vuong Dinh family will be punished.</i>

377
00:39:20,083 --> 00:39:23,666
<i>The ritual to alter fate is something</i>
<i>I have to do.</i>

378
00:39:23,750 --> 00:39:26,416
Doing it means you must give something up!

379
00:39:28,708 --> 00:39:30,458
Sometimes it's your very own blood!

380
00:39:32,416 --> 00:39:36,208
To perform the ritual
is to defy Heaven's will.

381
00:39:37,125 --> 00:39:41,625
Not only must you endure physical pain,

382
00:39:41,708 --> 00:39:45,416
you will also bear the guilt
that crushes your heart,

383
00:39:46,208 --> 00:39:49,625
and will live in solitude
for the rest of your days.

384
00:39:50,833 --> 00:39:53,125
Any negligence at all,

385
00:39:53,666 --> 00:39:58,458
and The Divine shall unleash
The Five Elemental Deaths.

386
00:39:58,541 --> 00:40:03,833
And those five deaths will be a part
of your existence.

387
00:40:25,500 --> 00:40:30,416
How come none of my wishes
are coming true?

388
00:40:33,833 --> 00:40:35,791
Why is that?

389
00:40:36,875 --> 00:40:37,791
Mistress!

390
00:40:46,291 --> 00:40:48,041
Why are you around this late?

391
00:40:49,750 --> 00:40:53,541
I was looking for Little Dong.
He's gone somewhere, but then I heard--

392
00:41:31,500 --> 00:41:32,500
<i>Nanny!</i>

393
00:41:33,041 --> 00:41:34,375
<i>Nanny!</i>

394
00:41:34,458 --> 00:41:35,666
<i>Nanny!</i>

395
00:41:35,750 --> 00:41:37,583
<i>Nanny, where are you?</i>

396
00:41:37,666 --> 00:41:38,916
<i>Nanny!</i>

397
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:40,208
<i>Nanny!</i>

398
00:41:40,291 --> 00:41:41,458
<i>Nanny!</i>

399
00:41:41,541 --> 00:41:42,875
<i>Don't leave me alone!</i>

400
00:41:42,958 --> 00:41:44,291
<i>Nanny!</i>

401
00:41:44,375 --> 00:41:45,666
<i>Nanny!</i>

402
00:41:45,750 --> 00:41:46,916
<i>Nanny!</i>

403
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:48,166
<i>No!</i>

404
00:41:48,250 --> 00:41:49,375
<i>Nanny!</i>

405
00:41:49,458 --> 00:41:50,958
<i>No!</i>

406
00:41:51,041 --> 00:41:52,208
<i>No!</i>

407
00:41:52,291 --> 00:41:55,333
<i>No…!</i>

408
00:41:55,416 --> 00:41:56,666
<i>No!</i>

409
00:41:57,208 --> 00:41:58,791
<i>Nanny!</i>

410
00:42:02,958 --> 00:42:06,500
<i>I promise to protect you, little brother.</i>
<i>I will never leave you alone, Phong.</i>

411
00:43:38,416 --> 00:43:40,958
<i>Died on a tree…</i>
<i>Square sigil on her forehead…</i>

412
00:43:41,708 --> 00:43:43,625
<i>Green beans… This is the Wood Death.</i>

413
00:43:45,125 --> 00:43:46,166
Mr. Tuan…

414
00:43:46,833 --> 00:43:48,375
Bring her to the Altar Room.

415
00:43:51,666 --> 00:43:52,583
Mother?

416
00:43:54,958 --> 00:43:56,375
We must call the police.

417
00:43:59,375 --> 00:44:00,291
Mother…

418
00:44:21,500 --> 00:44:22,333
Mother!

419
00:44:22,875 --> 00:44:24,125
Two people have died!

420
00:44:24,208 --> 00:44:27,833
If we don't call the police now,
the next person could be me. Or you!

421
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:30,458
That was divine punishment!

422
00:44:33,916 --> 00:44:34,791
I'm sorry…

423
00:44:35,291 --> 00:44:39,500
but all that's happened is no accident.
You know that, right?

424
00:44:39,583 --> 00:44:40,625
I do!

425
00:44:40,708 --> 00:44:42,708
That is why the thing we must do now

426
00:44:42,791 --> 00:44:45,208
is to pray to The Divine for forgiveness!

427
00:44:46,458 --> 00:44:48,458
Fine… I'll pray as well!

428
00:44:49,041 --> 00:44:50,458
But I'll still call the police, Mother.

429
00:44:51,708 --> 00:44:55,250
If the dead are buried too late,
it will affect our fortune.

430
00:44:56,416 --> 00:44:57,958
Mother…

431
00:44:58,041 --> 00:44:59,083
You can't!

432
00:45:19,333 --> 00:45:20,458
I forbid you!

433
00:45:33,416 --> 00:45:35,041
Mrs. Dao died on a tree.

434
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:39,708
First Metal, then Wood. Next up is Water.

435
00:45:40,333 --> 00:45:41,791
The one with Water in this house,

436
00:45:43,666 --> 00:45:45,333
apart from Vinh An,

437
00:45:46,250 --> 00:45:47,708
is this cripple here.

438
00:45:53,291 --> 00:45:56,208
What did you say?
You will not insult Thai Phong!

439
00:45:57,208 --> 00:45:58,416
Apologize to him, now!

440
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:02,250
Insult, huh?

441
00:46:03,625 --> 00:46:08,291
If I call him "useless," "parasite,"
or "servant," those are insults.

442
00:46:09,541 --> 00:46:11,083
But saying he's a "cripple,"

443
00:46:11,166 --> 00:46:12,416
that's a fact!

444
00:46:12,500 --> 00:46:13,541
Will you stop?

445
00:46:14,583 --> 00:46:15,583
Stop it now!

446
00:46:16,541 --> 00:46:17,791
This is your brother-in-law!

447
00:46:18,958 --> 00:46:20,083
"Brother-in-law"…

448
00:46:21,500 --> 00:46:23,375
And yet such language for his relatives?

449
00:46:23,458 --> 00:46:25,666
I share no blood with you.

450
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:28,500
Whoever dies, dies.

451
00:46:30,166 --> 00:46:31,291
Won't be me.

452
00:46:33,166 --> 00:46:34,208
Phong!

453
00:46:34,291 --> 00:46:37,083
Phong!

454
00:46:37,166 --> 00:46:43,000
Stop! Please! He…
We didn't mean anything, Phong!

455
00:46:43,083 --> 00:46:44,916
Phong!

456
00:46:58,875 --> 00:47:00,083
The wound isn't so deep.

457
00:47:11,833 --> 00:47:12,833
I'm alright.

458
00:47:20,708 --> 00:47:22,041
Can you stop hurting yourself, please?

459
00:47:23,916 --> 00:47:27,125
Not every wound bleeds,
yet all of them leave scars.

460
00:47:27,625 --> 00:47:29,750
They remind me that I exist.

461
00:48:07,791 --> 00:48:09,875
I'll take you to the US to heal your legs.

462
00:48:09,958 --> 00:48:11,416
Tomorrow, can you take me out?

463
00:48:12,291 --> 00:48:15,875
If he's right about me being next,
then that is my last wish.

464
00:48:22,041 --> 00:48:23,041
We'll go tomorrow.

465
00:48:25,875 --> 00:48:27,458
But you stop thinking like that.

466
00:48:27,541 --> 00:48:29,000
Nothing bad will happen.

467
00:48:51,708 --> 00:48:55,166
Exactly at midnight tomorrow,
we bury the bodies. Don't be late.

468
00:48:56,541 --> 00:48:58,416
No need to rest them in coffins.

469
00:48:59,541 --> 00:49:02,583
Let the corpses meet the roots.
Easier for them to move on.

470
00:49:03,541 --> 00:49:04,666
Ma'am.

471
00:49:06,916 --> 00:49:07,958
Mother!

472
00:49:11,791 --> 00:49:12,708
Let me go too.

473
00:49:12,791 --> 00:49:14,291
I'd like to help bury them.

474
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:26,291
You should return to the US.

475
00:49:32,916 --> 00:49:35,000
If anything happens,

476
00:49:36,125 --> 00:49:39,083
you're the last hope of
the Vuong Dinh family.

477
00:49:40,833 --> 00:49:41,791
And what about you?

478
00:50:26,208 --> 00:50:29,250
<i>There are two bruises.</i>
<i>The larger one is lighter,</i>

479
00:50:29,333 --> 00:50:31,708
<i>so she was strangled</i>
<i>by a rope smaller than a vine.</i>

480
00:50:32,791 --> 00:50:36,083
<i>The legs are scarred. And covered in mud.</i>

481
00:50:36,750 --> 00:50:39,083
<i>She might have died</i>
<i>at the bottom of the slope.</i>

482
00:53:20,333 --> 00:53:22,666
<i>I have barred you from returning.</i>

483
00:53:23,833 --> 00:53:25,291
<i>Why are you here then?</i>

484
00:53:26,041 --> 00:53:28,208
<i>Can you let me meet Thai Phong, please?</i>

485
00:53:29,375 --> 00:53:31,208
How is my son nowadays?

486
00:53:34,041 --> 00:53:35,541
"My son"?

487
00:53:37,791 --> 00:53:40,291
Since when is Thai Phong your son?

488
00:53:41,958 --> 00:53:44,833
Are you admitting that
you stole someone else’s husband?

489
00:53:45,750 --> 00:53:46,708
Yes.

490
00:53:47,916 --> 00:53:48,750
I took him from you.

491
00:53:49,458 --> 00:53:51,208
You wicked bitch.

492
00:53:51,833 --> 00:53:53,750
I'm a dishonest woman.

493
00:53:55,083 --> 00:53:56,916
Now will you let me see my child?

494
00:53:57,000 --> 00:53:58,166
Silence!

495
00:53:58,666 --> 00:53:59,791
I'm begging you!

496
00:54:00,666 --> 00:54:03,666
Before you say that,
why not take a look at yourself?

497
00:54:04,583 --> 00:54:06,166
I have kept my promise!

498
00:54:07,291 --> 00:54:10,041
For 18 years, I haven't heard his voice
calling out for mom.

499
00:54:11,041 --> 00:54:12,250
Please let me know then…

500
00:54:13,958 --> 00:54:15,583
I must be away from him until when?

501
00:54:15,666 --> 00:54:16,875
Forever!

502
00:54:31,291 --> 00:54:32,375
No wonder…

503
00:54:34,333 --> 00:54:35,833
He loved me more than you!

504
00:54:35,916 --> 00:54:39,083
He told me himself,
due to fear of The Divine,

505
00:54:39,166 --> 00:54:42,208
there must be a son
to balance yin and yang.

506
00:54:42,708 --> 00:54:44,666
You were stupid enough
to believe his words?

507
00:54:54,458 --> 00:54:55,416
Yes!

508
00:54:56,833 --> 00:54:58,291
Because I was stupid…

509
00:54:59,625 --> 00:55:03,375
I pretend not to know that
you were my husband's mistress!

510
00:55:04,541 --> 00:55:05,666
Because I was stupid,

511
00:55:05,750 --> 00:55:07,583
when my mother-in-law and my husband

512
00:55:07,666 --> 00:55:10,208
brought Thai Phong home
with you as his nanny…

513
00:55:10,291 --> 00:55:12,166
I agreed, willingly!

514
00:55:12,708 --> 00:55:14,000
Because I was stupid,

515
00:55:14,083 --> 00:55:18,833
I live in misery and act like I'm happy!

516
00:55:19,791 --> 00:55:20,958
But because I'm not happy,

517
00:55:22,625 --> 00:55:24,875
no one will get to be.

518
00:55:25,458 --> 00:55:26,708
Not even you,

519
00:55:27,791 --> 00:55:31,750
and so you won't see
Thai Phong until you die.

520
00:55:38,208 --> 00:55:39,625
But don't worry…

521
00:55:41,833 --> 00:55:44,708
I'll take good care of him.

522
00:55:46,166 --> 00:55:47,375
You're a snake!

523
00:55:48,291 --> 00:55:49,541
Give me back my child!

524
00:55:50,125 --> 00:55:51,458
Give me back my child!

525
00:55:52,041 --> 00:55:54,291
Give me back my child!

526
00:55:55,250 --> 00:55:58,416
Give him back!

527
00:56:15,625 --> 00:56:17,833
Help!

528
00:56:18,416 --> 00:56:19,541
Help!

529
00:56:19,625 --> 00:56:20,458
Help who?

530
00:56:23,375 --> 00:56:24,333
Just wait a bit longer.

531
00:56:25,583 --> 00:56:26,791
So it's certain.

532
00:56:30,333 --> 00:56:33,625
Handling a dead body is easier
than a live one, big sis.

533
00:56:42,083 --> 00:56:47,125
It was my little sister
who you pushed into the lake.

534
00:56:48,333 --> 00:56:51,750
She was the floating, rotting corpse
that when it was lifted out

535
00:56:51,833 --> 00:56:56,250
was in tatters because fish after fish
had feasted on it day after day.

536
00:56:57,041 --> 00:56:58,500
-I didn't mean to--
-Shh!

537
00:57:02,083 --> 00:57:03,291
She had died,

538
00:57:04,166 --> 00:57:07,250
but you'd still torment her every night.

539
00:57:09,291 --> 00:57:10,541
Her remains…

540
00:57:11,083 --> 00:57:13,625
You still had them in shackles
for seven years.

541
00:57:27,583 --> 00:57:29,000
Why did you hate her?

542
00:57:31,208 --> 00:57:32,375
My sister

543
00:57:34,416 --> 00:57:37,666
and the Master… knew each other,

544
00:57:39,333 --> 00:57:40,583
loved each other…

545
00:57:42,791 --> 00:57:47,416
before his mother forced him
to make you his wife.

546
00:57:52,291 --> 00:57:53,416
Therefore…

547
00:57:56,208 --> 00:57:59,125
my sister and I had to
hide our identities as siblings.

548
00:58:01,041 --> 00:58:02,083
Otherwise…

549
00:58:03,625 --> 00:58:06,875
how could I survive in the house for long?

550
00:58:08,750 --> 00:58:14,333
Long enough… until the day…
I got to see you here.

551
00:58:17,375 --> 00:58:19,958
That tea I brewed for you each night…

552
00:58:21,208 --> 00:58:22,583
Tasty?

553
00:58:25,791 --> 00:58:30,291
The water for it…
I took from the lake down the slope.

554
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:35,833
That bitterness on the tip of your tongue…

555
00:58:35,916 --> 00:58:40,166
That would be what was left of your sins
still there beneath the lake.

556
00:58:40,708 --> 00:58:44,375
<i>Your crime was not killing people…</i>

557
00:58:44,458 --> 00:58:47,625
<i>It was choosing to follow evil.</i>

558
00:58:47,708 --> 00:58:50,375
You made me do this.

559
00:58:53,166 --> 00:58:55,208
Don't blame me.

560
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:20,916
Nanny!

561
00:59:21,416 --> 00:59:25,125
Nanny!

562
01:00:07,125 --> 01:00:08,583
May I borrow the car for a day?

563
01:00:16,791 --> 01:00:17,875
If you can fix it.

564
01:00:44,166 --> 01:00:46,416
Little Dong is so good! Here, for you.

565
01:00:47,125 --> 01:00:49,500
Thank you! But Uncle Phong,

566
01:00:49,583 --> 01:00:52,291
why did Uncle Vinh An
want to call the police?

567
01:00:52,375 --> 01:00:53,666
To catch bad people.

568
01:00:53,750 --> 01:00:54,875
Who are the bad people?

569
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:13,083
Is this yours, Uncle?

570
01:01:14,583 --> 01:01:15,416
Yes!

571
01:01:22,833 --> 01:01:23,791
Thank you, kiddo.

572
01:01:43,250 --> 01:01:44,250
Seven years!

573
01:01:45,666 --> 01:01:48,500
I waited seven years for someone
to take me out of the house.

574
01:01:54,375 --> 01:01:57,291
Seven years ago, also at this very slope…

575
01:02:13,125 --> 01:02:14,666
<i>I don't blame you, brother.</i>

576
01:02:15,250 --> 01:02:19,291
<i>On that day, from the bottom of the pit,</i>
<i>I got to see a beautiful sunset.</i>

577
01:02:20,500 --> 01:02:21,458
<i>A blazing red sky.</i>

578
01:02:23,666 --> 01:02:27,875
People say the sunset is a gift
from the Heavens for patient souls.

579
01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:34,166
Let’s wait for one before we return,
if that's alright?

580
01:02:41,208 --> 01:02:42,458
Could you grab my camera, please?

581
01:02:59,833 --> 01:03:00,750
Phong!

582
01:03:04,333 --> 01:03:05,250
Phong!

583
01:04:00,125 --> 01:04:03,333
I told you, the Water Death
would be the cripple.

584
01:04:04,583 --> 01:04:05,625
You be quiet!

585
01:04:06,958 --> 01:04:08,458
Do you want a bloodbath that much?

586
01:04:10,041 --> 01:04:13,541
I'm only telling the truth.
The more deaths there are…

587
01:04:14,041 --> 01:04:15,208
the less we have to share.

588
01:04:17,833 --> 01:04:22,291
The truth is that you haven't done
shit for this family.

589
01:04:22,375 --> 01:04:24,041
So shut your mouth.

590
01:04:27,291 --> 01:04:28,250
What did you say?

591
01:04:29,416 --> 01:04:30,583
Have you gone deaf?

592
01:04:38,750 --> 01:04:39,875
Stop!

593
01:04:41,291 --> 01:04:42,958
I dare you to take one more step!

594
01:04:44,416 --> 01:04:46,500
If you choose to drive out of those gates,

595
01:04:46,583 --> 01:04:48,250
you won’t come back alive.

596
01:04:48,333 --> 01:04:50,416
The Divine will punish you
with the Fire Death!

597
01:05:14,250 --> 01:05:16,166
I shouldn't have taken you outside…

598
01:05:16,250 --> 01:05:17,708
Were you scared back then?

599
01:05:19,041 --> 01:05:20,083
Back when?

600
01:05:21,458 --> 01:05:23,208
When I left you in the pit.

601
01:05:52,416 --> 01:05:53,333
Phong!

602
01:05:56,041 --> 01:05:57,041
I'm sorry.

603
01:06:39,250 --> 01:06:42,125
Mr. Tuan, let me drive.

604
01:06:43,125 --> 01:06:44,875
Your Mother has given her orders.

605
01:06:45,750 --> 01:06:47,416
Please don't make it difficult for me.

606
01:06:49,291 --> 01:06:52,791
We… can still get to
the police station in time.

607
01:06:57,625 --> 01:06:58,916
Are you afraid of my Mother…

608
01:07:00,458 --> 01:07:02,583
or The Divine’s punishment?

609
01:07:12,125 --> 01:07:14,000
I've lived in this house for a long time.

610
01:07:15,041 --> 01:07:19,041
If you trust me… it'd be best
to obey the Mistress.

611
01:07:23,625 --> 01:07:25,083
You do love your Mother, right?

612
01:08:31,375 --> 01:08:32,708
When a victim is strangled,

613
01:08:32,791 --> 01:08:34,916
they will grab onto the rope
out of instinct.

614
01:08:35,708 --> 01:08:37,625
Why did Auntie scratch her thigh then?

615
01:10:11,833 --> 01:10:12,750
Mother.

616
01:10:14,125 --> 01:10:15,750
Mother!

617
01:10:23,000 --> 01:10:24,750
Who brought lilies into the Altar Room?

618
01:11:13,708 --> 01:11:16,000
Vinh An! Stop the car!

619
01:11:23,333 --> 01:11:25,000
You take Mother to the hospital first.

620
01:11:25,750 --> 01:11:26,958
I'll take care of myself!

621
01:11:28,291 --> 01:11:29,125
Go, go!

622
01:11:46,125 --> 01:11:49,833
EMERGENCY

623
01:12:58,333 --> 01:13:03,416
I want to carve your heart out
and ask it, "What should I do now?"

624
01:13:38,333 --> 01:13:41,708
<i>In this house, only Phong cares about me.</i>

625
01:13:45,791 --> 01:13:48,875
<i>I promise no one will</i>
<i>make you sad anymore, big sister.</i>

626
01:14:58,041 --> 01:15:00,250
<i>I also loved you the most</i>
<i>in this house, Auntie!</i>

627
01:15:17,958 --> 01:15:20,375
I have missed so many opportunities…

628
01:15:20,916 --> 01:15:22,458
This is the last one.

629
01:15:23,500 --> 01:15:27,291
I will count to three, and if you can
get up and run to the door,

630
01:15:27,375 --> 01:15:28,791
I will spare your life.

631
01:15:32,458 --> 01:15:33,333
One…

632
01:15:34,375 --> 01:15:35,333
Two…

633
01:15:38,333 --> 01:15:39,333
Three!

634
01:16:04,541 --> 01:16:06,500
It's you. Thai Phong!

635
01:16:08,208 --> 01:16:09,083
Yes?

636
01:16:10,583 --> 01:16:11,625
I've come to visit Mother.

637
01:16:12,583 --> 01:16:15,250
Because of that… you can walk like normal?

638
01:16:20,541 --> 01:16:22,833
I just wanted to surprise everyone.

639
01:16:22,916 --> 01:16:27,083
I thought if Mother saw me
walking fine, she would recover faster.

640
01:16:29,125 --> 01:16:32,958
Are you disturbed that
I'm well and on my own two feet?

641
01:16:33,041 --> 01:16:34,041
Your legs have healed.

642
01:16:34,916 --> 01:16:36,250
You could have studied abroad.

643
01:16:36,750 --> 01:16:40,208
Why choose to ditch your future
and torment me for seven years?

644
01:16:41,208 --> 01:16:42,541
You hate me that much?

645
01:16:44,125 --> 01:16:45,291
Do you know…

646
01:16:45,375 --> 01:16:48,375
how terrible it's been to feel that
I maimed my younger brother?

647
01:16:57,541 --> 01:16:58,833
I like that feeling.

648
01:16:59,916 --> 01:17:02,958
The important thing is not
that you crippled me,

649
01:17:03,041 --> 01:17:04,333
but that you abandoned me.

650
01:17:05,333 --> 01:17:06,791
Why not just kill me then?

651
01:17:07,833 --> 01:17:09,333
How are the others at fault?

652
01:17:18,333 --> 01:17:19,708
But I didn't do anything.

653
01:17:20,500 --> 01:17:22,583
Many times I've tried to
leave the thought out of my head.

654
01:17:23,875 --> 01:17:25,416
I had hoped that you weren't the culprit.

655
01:17:26,875 --> 01:17:27,916
But it was you…

656
01:17:36,416 --> 01:17:38,208
You planned everything.

657
01:17:40,125 --> 01:17:43,291
You used the anesthetic Lidocaine
and the vasoconstrictor Epinephrine

658
01:17:43,375 --> 01:17:44,875
to hinder the pain
when you stabbed your thigh.

659
01:17:46,083 --> 01:17:48,708
You also injected Botulinum Toxin
for a long time

660
01:17:48,791 --> 01:17:50,583
so your legs would atrophy
like a disabled person's.

661
01:18:02,833 --> 01:18:04,250
Did I miss anything, Phong?

662
01:18:05,833 --> 01:18:07,375
Why did you kill Auntie Anh Dao?

663
01:18:07,458 --> 01:18:08,875
Because she was so loud.

664
01:18:10,541 --> 01:18:11,708
And big sister, Vong Nam?

665
01:18:13,166 --> 01:18:17,000
Didn't you find her miserable?
I only saved her.

666
01:18:18,625 --> 01:18:19,833
What about Mother?

667
01:18:21,416 --> 01:18:22,458
She was our Mother, Phong!

668
01:18:28,000 --> 01:18:31,416
You still believe that
you and I share the same Mother?

669
01:18:38,666 --> 01:18:41,791
Look at me now. Do you see yourself there?

670
01:18:45,208 --> 01:18:46,458
This is a hospital.

671
01:18:51,208 --> 01:18:57,916
No more fear, or cowardice, or running!
The US must be pretty, right?

672
01:19:02,333 --> 01:19:04,250
I also want to go.

673
01:19:10,750 --> 01:19:13,625
But then you've used my legs,
stolen my dream,

674
01:19:13,708 --> 01:19:16,291
and crushed my life!

675
01:19:19,416 --> 01:19:21,083
Come back and be my brother, Phong.

676
01:19:28,416 --> 01:19:32,958
I'll come back tomorrow!
But there will be no tomorrow…

677
01:19:33,791 --> 01:19:35,958
since the Phong you needed is long dead!

678
01:19:38,583 --> 01:19:41,041
Did you remember your promise to me?

679
01:19:41,125 --> 01:19:43,708
You said you’d never abandon me,

680
01:19:43,791 --> 01:19:47,083
that you’d forever protect me,
and never leave me alone!

681
01:19:48,291 --> 01:19:49,333
So why did you do it anyway?

682
01:20:12,416 --> 01:20:16,458
We're looking for suspects linked to
the murders at the Vuong Dinh domain.

683
01:20:17,583 --> 01:20:18,708
It was me.

684
01:20:19,291 --> 01:20:20,708
No further investigation needed.

685
01:20:27,125 --> 01:20:29,250
Please come with us to the station
for further questioning.

686
01:20:30,708 --> 01:20:32,125
Everyone makes mistakes,

687
01:20:32,875 --> 01:20:34,625
and this is me atoning for mine.

688
01:20:39,916 --> 01:20:41,208
I'll take good care of Mother.

689
01:21:05,000 --> 01:21:06,041
Stop!

690
01:21:19,000 --> 01:21:19,875
Stop!

691
01:21:46,583 --> 01:21:47,625
Suspect's escaping!

692
01:21:47,708 --> 01:21:49,083
Surround the hospital now!

693
01:22:14,791 --> 01:22:17,458
HONG AN HOSPITAL

694
01:22:31,875 --> 01:22:34,375
She returned to exact revenge on me.

695
01:22:35,833 --> 01:22:37,916
She just would not forgive me.

696
01:22:38,791 --> 01:22:39,625
Mother…

697
01:22:41,208 --> 01:22:42,666
We owed Thai Phong too much.

698
01:22:47,625 --> 01:22:49,041
It was all his doing.

699
01:24:04,000 --> 01:24:04,833
Thai Phong!

700
01:24:08,958 --> 01:24:11,083
<i>Hurry and say goodbye to</i>
<i>Thien Kim, big brother!</i>

701
01:24:11,666 --> 01:24:13,250
Phong!

702
01:24:13,833 --> 01:24:15,708
What did he say… huh?

703
01:24:18,166 --> 01:24:19,541
I have to check on my eldest sister!

704
01:24:20,875 --> 01:24:23,333
You hold onto the phone,
stay here… and wait for me.

705
01:24:25,500 --> 01:24:26,416
Be careful!

706
01:24:29,125 --> 01:24:32,583
Vinh An! Be careful! Please be careful!

707
01:24:52,125 --> 01:24:54,208
Fingerprints on the carving knife
and all other evidence

708
01:24:54,291 --> 01:24:56,416
is all of Vinh An and Mistress Phuong…

709
01:25:06,708 --> 01:25:09,000
Who should take the fall is up to you.

710
01:25:19,625 --> 01:25:21,583
As your Aunt,
I won't allow you to hesitate.

711
01:26:08,166 --> 01:26:09,541
If you don't believe,

712
01:26:10,083 --> 01:26:11,416
how can The Divine see you?

713
01:26:15,625 --> 01:26:18,250
That is the life that you must live.

714
01:26:51,125 --> 01:26:52,500
Lies!

715
01:26:53,833 --> 01:26:55,208
Betrayal!

716
01:27:03,208 --> 01:27:08,375
All those years… I've lived
with my own faith…

717
01:27:09,458 --> 01:27:14,750
but all of you… have lied to me,
have betrayed me!

718
01:27:57,666 --> 01:27:59,666
I don't feel all that comfortable…

719
01:28:04,791 --> 01:28:07,916
No! Stop!

720
01:28:08,916 --> 01:28:10,583
Please spare me, Thai Phong.

721
01:28:14,666 --> 01:28:16,166
Thai Phong, spare my girl, please…

722
01:28:22,583 --> 01:28:26,083
Big sister, tell me who deserves
to die the most?

723
01:28:27,250 --> 01:28:30,416
Let me know… who deserves to die the most?

724
01:28:31,416 --> 01:28:33,291
Who is the one that has to die?

725
01:28:33,375 --> 01:28:35,750
No one! No one, I beg you!

726
01:28:36,666 --> 01:28:39,250
You have no right to choose
who lives or dies!

727
01:28:41,708 --> 01:28:43,125
So I was wrong then?

728
01:29:08,500 --> 01:29:10,125
This certain game will end…

729
01:29:10,791 --> 01:29:12,708
when the person who must meet death…

730
01:29:13,583 --> 01:29:14,583
perishes.

731
01:29:48,166 --> 01:29:50,041
Give Thai Phong a call.

732
01:29:50,125 --> 01:29:51,875
He wants you to meet.
To settle everything.

733
01:29:53,041 --> 01:29:53,916
Lend me your phone.

734
01:30:11,000 --> 01:30:12,791
I love this feeling!

735
01:30:12,875 --> 01:30:13,791
<i>Where is Mother?</i>

736
01:30:15,041 --> 01:30:16,458
Where is she?

737
01:30:16,541 --> 01:30:19,541
Do you know what the scariest thing
in the past seven years was?

738
01:30:19,625 --> 01:30:24,208
It was seeing how one day after another
would turn me into a stranger.

739
01:30:30,333 --> 01:30:33,041
Now, bring my Mother's ashes to me.

740
01:30:35,750 --> 01:30:38,625
Then you and I, a Mother for a Mother.

741
01:31:15,500 --> 01:31:16,625
Stop!

742
01:31:40,750 --> 01:31:41,583
Stop now!

743
01:32:14,875 --> 01:32:16,041
Thank you, kid.

744
01:32:18,000 --> 01:32:19,750
That's all that we know.

745
01:32:31,583 --> 01:32:34,416
On the carving knife are fingerprints
from you and Vinh An.

746
01:32:34,500 --> 01:32:37,916
If they deduce that you're not the killer,
it will be him.

747
01:32:38,541 --> 01:32:41,291
This time, no one will save
your beloved son.

748
01:32:46,166 --> 01:32:52,291
Three lives taken… Vinh An,
how cruel you are, so is your Mother!

749
01:33:13,291 --> 01:33:18,916
If you let Vinh An go, Mother here
will do whatever you want.

750
01:33:19,000 --> 01:33:20,750
Can you get <i>my</i> mother back?

751
01:33:28,083 --> 01:33:30,791
I used to want to kill you

752
01:33:30,875 --> 01:33:34,708
in the most painful, fearful manner.

753
01:33:37,583 --> 01:33:39,583
Do you know what I resent the most?

754
01:33:41,958 --> 01:33:46,625
That I can clearly remember your face,
but not my own mother's!

755
01:33:51,708 --> 01:33:55,000
Your son robbed me of my life!

756
01:35:10,500 --> 01:35:11,666
Where's Mother?

757
01:35:14,583 --> 01:35:15,875
Tell me, where is she?

758
01:35:23,250 --> 01:35:24,250
Where's my mother?

759
01:35:25,916 --> 01:35:29,458
Try calling her… She has your phone, no?

760
01:35:45,666 --> 01:35:47,291
What are you doing, Phong?

761
01:35:49,333 --> 01:35:51,375
Oh, I forgot her in the trunk.

762
01:35:52,333 --> 01:35:54,083
You killed your mother!

763
01:35:59,041 --> 01:36:02,666
Do you get how it feels to see
a loved one die before your eyes now?

764
01:36:29,291 --> 01:36:31,958
Idiot! Your mother isn't in the car!

765
01:36:44,875 --> 01:36:46,083
What have you done with mother?

766
01:36:57,791 --> 01:36:59,166
Mother!

767
01:37:00,250 --> 01:37:02,041
Mother!

768
01:37:26,708 --> 01:37:27,625
Phong!

769
01:37:28,625 --> 01:37:30,875
Where is my mother?

770
01:37:57,625 --> 01:37:58,750
Phong!

771
01:37:59,583 --> 01:38:00,958
Phong!

772
01:38:26,041 --> 01:38:27,250
Do you know how I feel now?

773
01:38:27,750 --> 01:38:30,291
Why did you… ruin my life?

774
01:38:32,458 --> 01:38:33,416
Why?

775
01:38:35,666 --> 01:38:38,541
The Vuong Dinh family needs only one son.

776
01:38:38,625 --> 01:38:39,916
And that's it!

777
01:38:40,000 --> 01:38:41,416
That's it!

778
01:38:41,500 --> 01:38:42,500
That's it!

779
01:38:42,583 --> 01:38:43,708
That's it!

780
01:39:52,125 --> 01:39:54,750
Vinh An!

781
01:39:55,333 --> 01:39:56,375
Mother…

782
01:39:59,041 --> 01:40:00,458
Do you love me?

783
01:40:05,666 --> 01:40:07,416
Do you love me, Mother?

784
01:40:19,458 --> 01:40:21,500
Can't even answer, you hag?

785
01:40:22,958 --> 01:40:24,750
No matter what you do,

786
01:40:25,958 --> 01:40:28,208
Vinh An will stay in jail until he rots.

787
01:41:05,958 --> 01:41:07,958
I'm sorry, son…

788
01:43:52,375 --> 01:43:56,333
From now until your death,
every night before you sleep,

789
01:43:57,041 --> 01:43:58,875
do you think about Phong?

790
01:43:59,958 --> 01:44:01,291
Stop talking…

791
01:44:01,375 --> 01:44:03,791
Do you remember how he'd look at you?

792
01:44:03,875 --> 01:44:04,750
Stop it!

793
01:44:04,833 --> 01:44:08,250
Do you remember the gargling noise
he made before he died?

794
01:44:08,333 --> 01:44:09,500
Yes!

795
01:44:10,458 --> 01:44:11,458
Yes!

796
01:44:18,416 --> 01:44:19,583
That's better.

797
01:44:22,291 --> 01:44:26,916
That means his death… was worthwhile.

798
01:44:30,333 --> 01:44:37,083
That means my actions
more than 20 years ago matter after all.

799
01:44:52,083 --> 01:44:55,916
Thai Phong… was your biological son.

800
01:44:57,125 --> 01:44:58,291
I'm sorry.

801
01:45:00,250 --> 01:45:01,708
I made a mistake…

802
01:45:10,375 --> 01:45:12,625
Vinh An is waiting outside.

803
01:45:12,708 --> 01:45:15,250
Whether to tell him the truth or not,

804
01:45:15,333 --> 01:45:17,166
that's up to you, Mistress.

805
01:45:36,875 --> 01:45:37,750
Mother…

806
01:45:44,750 --> 01:45:45,791
You are…

807
01:45:47,250 --> 01:45:49,166
my <i>true</i> son!

808
01:46:33,000 --> 01:46:34,750
My mother's actual urn, where is it now?

809
01:46:37,208 --> 01:46:39,041
Obviously in the safest place possible.

810
01:46:42,708 --> 01:46:43,666
And sister Kim Thien?

811
01:46:44,750 --> 01:46:46,291
Already handled.

812
01:46:59,500 --> 01:47:02,125
You're sure that our hands
stay clean, Auntie?

813
01:47:02,750 --> 01:47:04,166
Did we even do anything?

814
01:47:05,791 --> 01:47:07,875
Their family members hurt one another.

815
01:47:10,458 --> 01:47:11,583
Let's go home, Auntie.

816
01:47:14,583 --> 01:47:17,666
<i>People often believe in lies</i>
<i>over hard truths.</i>

817
01:47:17,750 --> 01:47:20,041
<i>So even when no one was looking,</i>
<i>I'd still put on an act.</i>

818
01:47:20,625 --> 01:47:22,458
<i>I must believe</i>
<i>in this angelic mask I wear,</i>

819
01:47:23,166 --> 01:47:24,791
<i>so that others will too.</i>
