Return of the Cuckoo (十月初五的月光)

Hi, I'm Man Cho

Don't know who I am? That's alright

I can give you a little background

My friends call me Man Cho

I had a 'different' sort of childhood in Macau

How different?

As a kid, I was completely mute

It was from an accident, and I was silent for years

But I was very fortunate

because there two people

who would never leave my side

They were Aunt Q and Kwan-Ho

Aunt Q was like a mother to me,

more so than my real one

When Kwan-Ho grew up,

she married Szto Lai-Sun

and emigrated to the States

Without realizing it, she and I

let years pass without seeing each other again

Over the years,

Macau has seen a lot of changes

But the one thing that hasn't changed

is the camaraderie of the streets

Sure, there are a lot of old friends,

Man Cho

but there are many new ones, too

That's NH

One big thing we have in common

is knowing sign language,

but there is one big difference

she was born unable to speak

She's such a hard worker

Two years ago, she came from Zhuhai looking for work

and learned to make pastries at a small bakery

When she wasn't baking, she'd often come along

as I picked up and dropped off tourists

Going here, there, everywhere

To a lot of people, we were already a couple

What do you think?

All together now

"Our fates, decided from the start"

"Our dreams, but meaningless words"

"I can only face what's before me now"

"Tomorrow says Today"

"Yesterday had once said"

"Reflect on last year's many challenges"

Thank you!

Thank you!

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday, Aunt Q

Happy birthday

Thank you!

Why are there only three candles?

Let me explain

This candle represents you

This one is Man Cho

This one is for Kwan-Ho. Sound right?

Well that is quite meaningful

Oh, is Kwan-Ho coming back?

She called a couple of weeks ago

saying she'd go to England with Lai-Sun for meetings

and taking the kids with her

so she wouldn't be able to make ii back in time

Kiki has a gift for you, Aunt Q

Oh'? Kiki, that's so thoughtful of you

"Happy birthday, Auntie. This is for you"

Wow, it's beautiful!

Gorgeous

"It's only a small gift, I hope you don't mind too much"

It's very sweet of you. I adore you

You really put some thought into it, Kiki

Since she's the year of the pig

you picked the perfect thing to dress her up

Really!

He said Aunt Q is a sow with earrings

"I'm so sorry!"

"I'll get something else next time"

Don't listen to him. I love it

I'll wear it every day, starting tomorrow!

But honestly speaking,

of all the pigs I know,

you're the prettiest one with earrings

Honestly... - Uncle Seun

After all these years, you've still got quite a mouth on you

Kam Shing, mister casino king

what did you bring for Aunt Q's birthday?

Never mind him, Kam Shing

Aunt Q

put this toward a nice meal

Happy birthday

Thank you so much!

You're free these days, why not take a vacation?

Man Cho,

you go with her

Me? Go with Aunt Q?

She's a really loud snorer

Well how about this

Kiki can have it and you two can go

But there's a catch before you go,

I expect a wedding tea ceremony

And you have to pop out a baby

so Aunt Q can have a grandchild

Grandkids! Grandkids!

Man Cho

Kwan-Ho?

- Mom - Kwan-Ho!

Happy birthday

You said you couldn't make it back,

so why are you suddenly here?

How else could I have surprised you?

Kwan-Ho

Aunt Wuto

You made it

Yes

Has everything been alright?

Pretty good

- Hoi-Lam -l've missed you so much

- Me, too - Lai-Sun and the kids

didn't come with you?

Lai-Sun is very busy and the children have school

Next time. I'll bring them back next time

I filled your old room with Aunt Q's costumes

That's okay, I booked a hotel

Why book a hotel when you can stay at home?

Yeah

I'm going to visit dad in Hong Kong early tomorrow,

so I just picked a place near the ferry

Since we're all here, how about a group photo?

Wonderful!

Get ready, everybody. Look at the camera and smile

I'll do a countdown

Kam-Nah said that no matter what

He needs a response from you by tonight

Him? Let's see how the rest of the night goes first

Have you called our guy in Dongguan?

Tonight's the handover anniversary,

not really a good time to take action.

Since when do I care about politics?

Hey boss, where to now?

If you don't want to give the order,

then I will

I'll call Sun Kee and give the job to someone else

You can't even handle the smallest thing

Sun Kee? It's Kam-Shing

The usual. I'll give you details later

Mr. Kam-Shing Man,

we have reason to believe

You're involved in a cross-border gambling ring

Please come to the station

and cooperate with our investigation

Billy, call the lawyer

then drive my wife home

Got it, boss

Be careful

Don't worry. I'll be fine

If you would, Mr. Man

You have cigarettes?

Don't wait up

I'll be back soon

Take care

Kwan-Ho! Back from the States?

Hasn't Macau changed a lot?

There are so many new hotels and casinos

If Lai-Sun had the time,

I'm sure he'd want to come back to see

I wonder if the kids would like the schools here

Would it be hard to place them?

Kwan-Ho

Are you unhappy?

I'm really tired

I want to go to bed

You should go get some rest, too

Man Cho!

I'm so happy to see you again

I'll send you off tomorrow

Hello?

- Man Cho - What's up, Aunt Q?

Something happened to Kwan-Ho in the US.

It turns out she escaped from a hospital.

Nobody knows what's ifs all about.

You have to find her!

Chin Fai!

How is Kwan-Ho?

How could this have happened?

I got a call from Lei-Sun's family today

They said that last week he and the children

were in a car accident

What? How are they?

They died

How could Fate do this to her?

Everything she cared about, taken in an instant

Why is it so cruel?

Why?

Doctor, how is my daughter?

We've given her a sedative to help her sleep

We'll do a complete check-up tomorrow

But based on my experience

I'd say the patient has severe suicidal tendencies

So even after she's released

you must all keep an eye on her
