Most terrible was that he had hallucinations,

and behaved strangely.

None of the doctors he saw could cure him.

Mom thought he was cursed.

Those sorcerers said our whole family was cursed.

If we wanted to break the curse forever,

my brother would have to sew father's eyes

shut with his own hands.

But later on my brother got it anyway.

Although your brother is asleep,

he isn't in deep sleep.

Therefore he hasn't had any rest.

It looks like

the strong sleeping pills aren't working.

That's all you say to me?

I don't pay good money

to listen to you, I pay you to solve problems!

You'd better cure him.

I don't want my brother

to be like the living dead, no matter what.

Well, I haven't got all day.

If you can't cure him, say so.

Don't waste my time.

Hi, brother.

Where have you been?

Haven't seen you for days.

This is Dr. Lam Sik Ka,

a specialist in Neuroscience and sleep,

has been invited here all the way from Hong Kong.

Seriously?

Big brother and I

share the same mother, you don't.

I've hired several famous doctors

and a team of nurses

to look after him 24 hours.

You don't have to do this to please him.

All it requires is one capable specialist,

no need to hire a whole team, stupid!

What? Are you any better than them?

All my brother

gets from you doctors is sleeping pills.

Sleeping pills have the opposite effect

on patients with insomnia.

Idiot!

Would you please step outside, Mrs. Yau.

I need to examine your husband for a while.

- I don't want to sleep!

- Daddy!

I don't want to sleep!

I don't want to sleep!

I don't want to sleep!

I don't want to sleep!

Daddy!

Daddy!

- I don't want to sleep!

- Hubby!

Hubby!

Hello? Yeah, Director! You must come right away.

His skull is still intact.

Yes, Director.

No one would know his brain is missing.

Right.

Remove the stitches.

Yes, Director.

- Hello?

- This is Monique, what have you been doing?

I was just packing.

May I come to you?

No, no, no, no! I'll meet you downstairs.

I was just about to get a cup of coffee.

- I'll see you in the Cafe.

- OK.

OK, I'm coming down now.

Are you leaving today?

In the afternoon.

My sister-in-law keeps asking me

if our family did anything bad once,

because my grandfather changed his family name.

I don't know what to tell her.

What she actually wanted to know is

if someone had cursed our family.

Do you think my big brother is cursed?

It's not impossible!

Do you believe in black magic, as a scientist?

Cursed or not is just an adjective,

it doesn't clash with science.

One key point about science is

to ask why and find a solution to the problem.

If your big brother is possessed,

you would have to find him an exorcist.
