Silk Page #2

Synopsis: In Taipei, the crippled scientist Hashimoto uses his invention of "Menger Sponge" to capture the energy of the spirit of a child in an old building. He invites the specialist in reading lips, Detective Tung, to join his research team that is studying the phenomenon to understand the movements of the lips of the ghost. Hashimoto is trying to disclose why the energy of the ghost does not dissipate, and Tung discovers the identity and the dramatic story of the boy. He was sick with tumors and was killed by his own mother and buried nearby a nuclear plant. Hashimoto deduces that the rage of the boy for his mother associated to the location where the body was buried were the reason to keep the energy. When the government decides to shutdown the research, Hashimoto becomes insane and takes the spirit with him.

There's no contamination.

DO NOT ENTER:

Anti-Gravity Unit?

Doesn't look like it right?

You see?

Put up a sign and we have

our new headquarter.

Why did you ask for me?

Would you like coffee or tea?

What do you want from me?

Coffee?

Wait.

My name is Hashimoto.

I'm in charge of this team.

The main mission of this team is

to find a way to achieve anti-gravity.

We have tried for four years.

- Anti-gravity is impossible.

- Really?

Do you believe ghosts exist

in this world?

Follow me.

Hashimoto.

Are you sure

you want to tell him?

I'm sure.

There is no one in there, right?

It's just eye drops.

Like this.

Pay attention to his hand.

It seems that he likes apples.

Perhaps he is full now.

What's he saying?

It's raining.

He says, "it's raining."

Raining?

No reaction to sound and image.

Can't see. Can't hear.

Can't haunt people.

Not what you imagined.

This is definitely a world first.

We've caught

the world's first ghost!

Why can I see it?

This is the Menger Sponge.

It's made out of human protein.

It can capture different

electromagnetic wavelengths.

Ghost is just a form of energy.

When the Menger Sponge absorbs

enough energy it can defy gravity.

Electromagnetic wave is

a form of energy.

We sprayed a thin layer of microscopic

Menger Sponge on your eyes.

It acts like a lens filter...

giving you ability to see images

at different wavelengths.

It's 4:
30 p.m.

He wants to go out

at this time every day.

That's an instinctive reaction.

The whole room is covered

with Menger Sponge.

Even the door knob.

The Menger Sponge absorbs

any energy...

so he's afraid of going out.

So you've caught a ghost.

But why am I here?

I want you to find out

who he is...

when he died...

why he died...

and where his body is buried?

I refuse to take the job.

Find someone else.

Answer me.

You don't know what to say because

you have no reason to refuse.

What about your mother?

What are you going to do

with her?

Do you have the right

to keep her alive like that?

How do you know

she doesn't want to die?

Am I wrong?

How do you know that

dying isn't better than living?

Let me remind you.

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

is hereditary.

Don't bring my mother into this.

Aren't you going to

the concert?

My little sister went to the concert, so

there's no one to deliver the flowers.

And I want to visit your mom.

So I came instead.

Thanks.

And you?

How was your day?

Nothing special.

How is she doing?

Not bad.

We had a long talk

mostly about you.

My mom's been like this for a while.

She can't talk.

When girls talk

we don't always have to speak.

So what did she tell you?

It's a secret.

Did mom say she hates me?
