:29:06
Mama?
:29:07
Can you see?
:29:10
Can you see
I am no longer scared?

:29:14
I am strong now.
:29:17
I see clearly now...
:29:19
what's true and what's false.
:29:28
My mother chose
the date of her death...

:29:31
to give me the power
over her enemies.

:29:45
My mother's ghost will return
in three days to settle scores.

:29:48
That day will be
the Lunar New Year.

:29:51
All debts must be paid by then.
:29:53
Or horrible tragedies
will befall you.

:30:03
Lord Buddha, forgive me.
:30:07
So, on that day, Wu Tsing
promised to revere my mother...

:30:11
as if she had been
First Wife, his only wife.

:30:17
He promised to raise me
and my mother's son...

:30:20
as his honored children,
the highest position.

:30:32
And on that day...n
:30:34
Second Wife's hair
began to turn white.

:30:38
Mama!
:30:42
And on that day,
I learned to shout.

:30:50
Mom, what does it mean?
:30:52
What does it mean, Mommy?
:30:54
I tell you the story
because I was raised...

:30:58
the Chinese way.
