Scientific reports point out that...

our earth's life span will not exceed 50 years.

While many are seeking ways...

to protect the earth,

a group of scientists hope that...

by burying CO2, the cause of global warming,

in the sea bed,

we can extend the life of mankind.

Actually I've always believed that life doesn't end...

and even if it does, it's just another beginning.

The eternal exists.

Actually, man's mind is still a mystery in the medical world.

According to some medical reports,

in our cities, out of 100 persons,

1 has a nervous breakdown, 2 suffer from stress,

2 from depression, 2 are retarded,

and 2 are unable to communicate.

That means out of 100 persons...

at least 9 need psychiatric help,

so we should learn to relax and be attentive to our emotional well being.

How much?

1,680.00

Yes, I came back last night.

No, it was great.

Here, I'll do that, you go ahead with your work.

I'm having dinner with a friend,

let's catch up later. Bye.

- Dr. Gao... - Xiao Kai... you're back!

Yes!

I bought a present especially for you.

Thanks! How was your holiday?

Hey it was the best! Totally relaxing.

When are you going back to work?

I'm back to the grind tomorrow.

Remember, to keep your good looks,

learn to relax at work,

Hmmm. Dr. Gao,

do you have time for the meal.

I promised when I returned?

Of course! When?

You're so tight, is this what you call a meal?

No no no. There's more to come.

(like a sea-gull endlessly tracing its lone footprints.)

It's unimaginable isn't it?

When I saw these photos my reaction was the same as yours.

I'd never dreamt

my brother would fall for my best friend.

I'll introduce you now to the Chen family's precious brats.

I'm the baby brat.

- Over there is the 'big' brat. - Here's your sister.

How's it going?

Really well.

My brother Guo Dong, Dave Chen.

Hi! - Hi!

Do you remember this book?

You didn't buy it that day so I've

been looking for a chance to give it to you.

Thanks!

Did you mind me sneaking photos of you.

They're beautifully shot!

(As long as there is heaven and earth, my love will never die.)

(As Heaven and earth embrace in the mists.)

Happy Birthday!

Thanks.

Birthday boy,

sit down and make a wish.

OK.

What did you wish for? Tell the truth.

Mind your own business.

Fess up!

My wish...

is to take Dr. Gao to Ryukyu...

to show her the ancient underwater city.

You'll never forget it.

I'll show you the photos.

How did you know my where my photos were?

Prof. Amu,

how long have you worked with Guo Dong in marine archaeology?

A long time,

since I was a teenager...

That long?

After we discovered this stone slab...

underwater...

What stone?

I'll let Guo Dong tell you himself.

Do you know why he wants to take you to the ancient city?

He's left a ring in the sea bed there.

He said if he found his true love

he'll take her there to propose to her.

A ring?

When did he tell you this?

Come, take a look.

This is the real underwater ancient city of Yonaguni.

It's said to be 10,000 years old.

You have to take a look for yourself.

When shall we start?

Hey, did I say I was going to take you there?

You think you'll definitely succeed?

If I don't go, how can I laugh at you?

When shall we start?

Well... it all depends on Dr. Gao's time.

How about next Saturday, OK?

OK, confirmed.

If you don't show up I'll be really pissed off.

Two Weeks Later

A guest has arrived.

A guest has arrived.

Let the guest come forward to pay your respect.

Bow once.

Bow twice.

Bow three times.

The family thanks you.

My condolences.

I know you're strong.

Everyone in the hospital is waiting for your return.

Thanks.

A guest has arrived.

Let the guest come forward to pay your respect.

Xiao Kai, why don't you come in?

Just what do you want? Dr. Gao.

What's wrong? Why do you call me...

You're not my sister-in-law yet.

Why did you proceed with the funeral arrangements without telling us?

I understand your grief.

You were always very emotional,

I gave you a prescription for tranquilizers?

Being unstable doesn't mean I need medication...

and I don't believe the body in the coffin...

is my brother's!

But according to the currents and time, they said...

The body in the coffin is headless.

After so many days in the water...

any fingerprints will be disfigured.

How can you be sure it's my brother?

By calculating the time and currents,

it matches the location where the body was found.

Also, the diving suit is his.

He bought the suit.

Do you know how many suits of similar styles there are?

Since you're a doctor go take a look at the DNA.

Did the report say his DNA was the same as mine?

Bow once.

Hey, what's going on? Did you see a ghost?

I think so.

It's easy to see things when you're exhausted.

If you're tired, ask Uncle Chen and leave.

"Boss"...you've come to the wrong place.

This isn't your home.

I'll find someone to take you home.

DNA testing isn't completely accurate,

even if his DNA is different from yours,

it doesn't mean he's not your brother.

I'm sorry.

I'd lost consciousness, it was you who saved me.

I too, really want to know...

what happened underwater...

Do you still think I'm your patient?

I don't.

I also don't want the body in the coffin is your brother's.

but what if it is... Xiao Kai!

Xiao Kai... Xiao Kai...

Don't forget to call me.

Are you okay?

Can I make an appointment with you?

You want me to...

I want... I want you to hypnotise me

to find out what I've forgotten.

Step aside... step aside...

I want to remind you again...

Don't worry.

This is the only way I can make myself feel better.

When someone is extremely traumatized,

the body naturally erases a part of that memory.

If you force it to surface,

it could be very damaging to you psychologically.

I want to know the truth...

I respect your decision.

I'm injecting you with...

3 ml of the Amobarbital.

it'll slowly suppress your conscious.
