Make Up (Ming Yun Hua Zhuang Shi) (命運化妝師)

They're catching up with us!

Why are you driving so fast?

Tell them to slow down then.

Stop!

Which package do you think he can afford?

Probably the cheapest...

I doubt he can afford even

the cheapest...

You're such an idiot!

There is a funeral tomorrow.

Make a call right now.

Ask them to keep anything

that could be re-used.

Okay.

Can't even say hello to me?

Hello Ms. Yeh.

I heard that you lost your makeup case.

You can't even look after your tools properly.

It's not very professional of you, is it?

Ms. Yeh, your company van looks just like an ambulance!

I bet you paid a huge bribe to the officials.

You have to keep improving your service.

Otherwise you'll go out of business soon.

How could this happen?

Sir, please accept my condolence.

Please look after your children.

So your wife wouldn't worry about you in Heaven.

Hey, is it how you win the case?

Don't you think you're too daring?

We arrived first!

You youngsters have no respect for the seniors.

We respect the family's choice.

You have to keep improving your service.

Otherwise you'll go out

of business soon.

You!

When I tried to raise

the awareness of hygiene

and professionalism amongst the morticians,

I was often challenged by the traditionalists.

When we worked together,

they kept asking me

why I dressed that like.

If I was so sacred, I should just give up the job.

But like the health and safety issues

I mentioned last time,

it is meant to protect not only the morticians

but the bodies as well.

Miss, if we dress like that

when doing the make-up,

wouldn't it upset the family?

That's exactly why we need to explain it to the family.

The bodies go off very rapidly

as bacteria grow.

In order to leave the family with

the most beautiful memories of the deceased,

we must pay close attention to

the health and safety issues.

This is what I'd call a professional mortician.

The other idea I'd like to share with you is

the empathy for the deceased's dignity.

Death isn't scary; it's even sacred.

We die only once in our lives.

How to help the deceased bid farewell

to this world with dignity

and to comfort the family left behind

are the most important jobs for morticians.

A life without accidents isn't a real life,

is it?

Yeah... you can never predict anything in your life.

I've got such a strange feeling.

I feel I'm relieved.

I don't have to worry about this and that.

I used to worry about everything, even the unnecessary.

I'd thought what would happen to my husband and children

if I'd had an accident?

But now I've come to realize that

it was unnecessary for me to worry about it.

They will get to understand that

death is part of life.

Then they'll learn to face it

and live with it.

Do I look alright?

Actually, I rarely put on makeup.

Don't worry.

They'll remember your most beautiful looks.

Mr. Li, this way please.

Thank you.

You're welcome. This is our job.

You stayed up late again?

Dr. Chou,

isn't it bit unhygienic?

I changed the gloves.

OK. These are for food, okay?

Do you play tennis?

Not tennis. I play squash.

You hit the ball against the wall.

Against the wall? Don't you feel bit lonely?

Right, Chih-Jen told me you're giving up yourjob at the hospital.

You want to become a full-time coroner.

Patients nowadays cause too much trouble.

They try to sue the doctors whenever possible.

Dead people wouldn't ask me to save them,

would they?

These are what we got this week. Have a look.

Hey, do you make good money as a private detective?

I think I could be a good one.

Like a sexy Bond girl?

No.

I'd be a "cute" one.

Have you found any clue?

Is our doctor the killer or not?

What do you think?

I think...

I think he's not.

He's such a nice guy.

But... the killer often turns out

to be the nice guy, right?

So you're suspicious of him too?

How would I know?!

Ching, do they look all right?

Move it over a little bit.

Okay.

Yes.

Min-Hsiu,

they'll bring

the deceased's photo later.

All right.

Chih-Jen is talking to the family

about tomorrow's rundown.

Right, I ran into Mr. Li earlier this afternoon.

He said Chih-Jen gave him some discount?

Oh yes, he did.

Chih-Jen says ethics mean everything in our business.

We should do some charity work too.

Min-Hsiu, this is the deceased's photo.

What's the matter?

She was my teacher in senior high.

Excuses me, are you...

I'm the makeup artist.

My name is Nieh.

I'm her husband.

So Ms. Chen was married...

I'm sorry.

She was my music teacher in senior high.

If Ting had known that her student still remembered her,

she would have been very happy.

Why did she die so suddenly?

Sorry, I shouldn't ask so many questions.

She killed herself with sleeping pills.

I'll leave her to you. Thank you.

I'll make her look as

beautiful as you remember her.

I never thought I would see you again.

Is it that difficult to face me?

How are you?

Don't cry.

If you do,

the deceased couldn't leave this world behind.

It wouldn't be very professional of you,

right?

Happy Birthday!

Is that all?

Yes, I do.

Silly girl.

Do you like it?

Yes.

Where is yours?

Come on, make your wishes.

Or you'll be late for the class again.

Okay.

So I'm making my wishes.

My first wish is...

give me a kiss.

Cheeky monkey.

My second wish is...

give me another kiss.

The third wish...

Keep it to yourself.

Oh.

Wu Min-Hsiu, it's you again!

What's wrong with you?

You don't like working with your classmates?

Go get the mannequin

If you really don't like working with people,

I could send you to work with the dead

when you finish your training.

Excuse me, Mr. Nieh.

The funeral is about to begin.

Is the makeup artist here today?

You mean Min-Hsiu?

Yes.

Is there any problem?

No, no problem. She's done a great job.

I just want to thank her.

Okay, I'll tell her about it.

Thank you.

Is Mr. Hsieh already here?

He called just now. He wanted to change it to 5.

He said he was going to buy a rabbit.
