2046
|
| 00:02:10 |
In the year 2046 |
| 00:02:16 |
A mysterious train leaves for 2046 |
| 00:02:22 |
Every passenger who goes to 2046 |
| 00:02:26 |
They want to recapture lost memories |
| 00:02:30 |
Because nothing ever changes in 2046 |
| 00:02:35 |
Nobody really knows if that's true |
| 00:02:37 |
Because nobody's ever come back |
| 00:02:41 |
Except me |
| 00:02:55 |
If someone wants to leave 2046... |
| 00:02:59 |
how long will it take? |
| 00:03:02 |
Some people get away very easily |
| 00:03:05 |
Others find that |
| 00:03:10 |
I forget how long |
| 00:03:14 |
I start to feel very lonely |
| 00:03:21 |
As I recall many have gone to 2046 |
| 00:03:26 |
You're the first to come back |
| 00:03:30 |
May I ask why you left 2046? |
| 00:03:40 |
Whenever one asked why I left 2046... |
| 00:03:43 |
I gave them some vague answers |
| 00:03:51 |
Before... |
| 00:03:53 |
when people had secrets |
| 00:03:56 |
...they'd climb a mountain |
| 00:03:59 |
They'd find a tree and carve hole in it |
| 00:04:04 |
And whisper the secret into the hole |
| 00:04:08 |
Then cover it over with mud |
| 00:04:13 |
That way, nobody else |
| 00:04:21 |
I once fell in love with someone |
| 00:04:25 |
After a while, she wasn't there |
| 00:04:29 |
I went to 2046 |
| 00:04:32 |
I thought she might be waiting |
| 00:04:38 |
But I couldn't find her |
| 00:04:44 |
I can't stop wondering |
| 00:04:50 |
But I never found out |
| 00:04:55 |
Maybe her answer was like a secret... |
| 00:05:01 |
that no one else would ever know |
| 00:05:03 |
All memories are traces of tears |
| 00:05:26 |
Didn't you promise not to come back? |
| 00:05:30 |
I came to see you |
| 00:05:35 |
Why? |
| 00:05:38 |
I have no prospects here |
| 00:05:40 |
So I'll see how things are in Hong Kong |
| 00:05:49 |
When are you leaving? |
| 00:05:53 |
The boat sails in two days |
| 00:06:03 |
Why are you telling me? |
| 00:06:15 |
I thought we might go together |
| 00:06:28 |
You know nothing about my past, do you? |
| 00:06:35 |
If you'd rather not tell me |
| 00:06:53 |
If you win, I'll join you |
| 00:07:32 |
She found an indirect way |
| 00:07:35 |
As I recall... |
| 00:07:37 |
...that was the very last time |
| 00:07:40 |
Right after that, I left Singapore |
| 00:08:07 |
I got back to Hong Kong |
| 00:08:10 |
There was riots in Kowloon |
| 00:08:15 |
I wasn't sure how long I'd be staying... |
| 00:08:17 |
So I took a room |
| 00:08:19 |
I wrote columns for the Newspapers |
| 00:08:22 |
They paid HK$10 per thousand words |
| 00:08:26 |
It was pretty tough at first |
| 00:08:43 |
As long as I could make ends meet |
| 00:08:45 |
...it made no difference |
| 00:08:49 |
'Diary of the Bezooke Hero' |
| 00:08:52 |
The new star at Club Luk Kwok |
| 00:08:53 |
A knockout beauty with amazing bezookes! |
| 00:08:56 |
A smash hit with tit-lovers! |
| 00:09:00 |
Hang on, of course I exaggerate |
| 00:09:03 |
I can't say her tits are fake, can I? |
| 00:09:14 |
I soon got used to this kind of life |
| 00:09:16 |
I became an expert of ladies |
| 00:09:19 |
Lots of one-night-stands |
| 00:09:21 |
Never mind |
| 00:09:23 |
nothing lasts forever anyway |
| 00:09:40 |
24-Dec-66 |
| 00:09:51 |
Is that really true? |
| 00:09:54 |
Why would I lie to you? |
| 00:09:57 |
You really know me? |
| 00:09:59 |
Weren't you in a show |
| 00:10:02 |
Yes |
| 00:10:04 |
You're Lu-lu |
| 00:10:18 |
I was then |
| 00:10:20 |
Not anymore |
| 00:10:22 |
What's your name now? |
| 00:10:27 |
Why should I tell you? |
| 00:10:31 |
On Christmas Eve 1966... |
| 00:10:33 |
...I ran into a friend |
| 00:10:37 |
We'd been rather close |
| 00:10:38 |
But that night... |
| 00:10:40 |
...she'd apparently forgotten me |
| 00:10:47 |
Have we really met before? |
| 00:10:51 |
How could you forget? |
| 00:10:54 |
You said I looked like |
| 00:10:57 |
You taught me the Cha-cha |
| 00:11:10 |
Go on... |
| 00:11:18 |
You were always dragging me |
| 00:11:22 |
You'd hit a losing streak |
| 00:11:24 |
You owed a fortune |
| 00:11:26 |
My friends and I paid for |
| 00:11:32 |
You talked a lot |
| 00:11:35 |
A Chinese Filipino from a rich family |
| 00:11:41 |
You planned to marry him |
| 00:11:43 |
But he died young |
| 00:11:46 |
You said he was the only love |
| 00:11:52 |
At this time of year... |
| 00:11:55 |
I shouldn't bring back sad memories |
| 00:11:59 |
But do you remember |
| 00:12:03 |
we went drinking? |
| 00:12:18 |
We talked a lot |
| 00:12:21 |
Was she just pretending |
| 00:12:26 |
I took her back to her hotel |
| 00:12:49 |
She'd had too much to drink... |
| 00:12:51 |
...so I left quickly |
| 00:13:23 |
On my way out |
| 00:13:30 |
If I hadn't run into her that night |
| 00:13:31 |
I wouldn't have seen that number |
| 00:13:34 |
...and I wouldn't have written '2046' |
| 00:13:48 |
Can I help you? |
| 00:13:49 |
Is Miss Lu-lu in? |
| 00:13:51 |
Lu-lu? There's no Miss Lu-lu here |
| 00:13:55 |
There was a Mimi... |
| 00:13:56 |
...but she's moved out |
| 00:13:59 |
But I was here two days ago! |
| 00:14:02 |
Do you know where she's gone? |
| 00:14:04 |
No! What do you want with her? |
| 00:14:07 |
Nothing, really |
| 00:14:09 |
I have her key. I wanted to return it |
| 00:14:12 |
You can give it to me |
| 00:14:15 |
Thanks |
| 00:14:21 |
You want to rent the room? |
| 00:14:23 |
I'm just back from abroad |
| 00:14:25 |
I don't have my own place yet |
| 00:14:26 |
If the room's vacant I could take a look |
| 00:14:29 |
This is just a small hotel |
| 00:14:31 |
But our residents are all decent people |
| 00:14:34 |
What's your line of work? |
| 00:14:36 |
I write for newspapers |
| 00:14:39 |
Great! A fellow artist! |
| 00:14:43 |
I haven't always done this |
| 00:14:45 |
I used to be an artist too |
| 00:14:48 |
Really? |
| 00:14:49 |
I took singing lessons in Haerbin |
| 00:14:52 |
By then, I was a tenor |
| 00:14:55 |
It'll be a pleasure to have you here |
| 00:14:58 |
When will you move in? |
| 00:14:59 |
As soon as possible |
| 00:15:02 |
But... |
| 00:15:04 |
2046 has to be redecorated |
| 00:15:06 |
2047 is vacant |
| 00:15:08 |
Take a look at it |
| 00:15:18 |
Never mind |
| 00:15:19 |
I'll come back when it's ready |
| 00:15:22 |
Why that particular room? |
| 00:15:26 |
Maybe it's the number |
| 00:15:28 |
It has some significance for you? |
| 00:15:30 |
I'm joking |
| 00:15:32 |
Tell you what... |
| 00:15:34 |
Take a quick look at 2047 |
| 00:15:36 |
If it's okay, you can move in |
| 00:15:38 |
Then switch to 2046 when it's ready |
| 00:15:43 |
How about it? |
| 00:15:47 |
Can I see the room? |
| 00:15:49 |
Of course! Please... |
| 00:16:08 |
Once I moved in, I found out... |
| 00:16:11 |
just the night before... |
| 00:16:13 |
Lu-lu was stabbed by a jealous boyfriend |
| 00:16:17 |
A drummer from the club |
| 00:16:19 |
She'd really liked him... |
| 00:16:22 |
...and compared him with a bird |
| 00:16:26 |
For all these years... |
| 00:16:28 |
She has been looking for |
| 00:16:31 |
Most of her affairs ended badly |
| 00:16:34 |
But she didn't mind sad endings |
| 00:16:37 |
No matter what happened... |
| 00:16:39 |
...at least she was always |
| 00:17:28 |
Good! |
| 00:17:31 |
Sure! |
| 00:17:34 |
Go! |
| 00:17:38 |
Let's go! |
| 00:17:41 |
Let's go! |
| 00:17:43 |
I'll go with you! |
| 00:17:46 |
Good. I'll go with you! |
| 00:17:48 |
Sure! |
| 00:17:52 |
I understand! |
| 00:17:55 |
You know what I mean? |
| 00:18:01 |
I got it! |
| 00:18:05 |
Can I go? |
| 00:18:09 |
I can go! |
| 00:18:12 |
Sure! |
| 00:18:14 |
I understand! |
| 00:18:16 |
Got it! |
| 00:18:24 |
It didn't take long |
| 00:18:28 |
But by then I was used to 2047 |
| 00:18:32 |
Sure! |
| 00:18:33 |
I started hearing a strange voice |
| 00:18:36 |
I thought someone had moved in |
| 00:18:39 |
But it was the daughter |
| 00:18:44 |
Definitely! |
| 00:18:46 |
I'm definitely going! |
| 00:18:49 |
Okay, let's go! |
| 00:19:11 |
I had no idea what she was saying |
| 00:19:17 |
The staff told me it was Japanese |
| 00:19:22 |
It seems she had a Japanese boyfriend |
| 00:19:26 |
Tell the driver 220 Granville Road |
| 00:19:30 |
Ge... ran... wei... 220 Granville Road |
| 00:19:33 |
Turn from Humphrey's Avenue near to |
| 00:19:36 |
Don't turn down Salisbury Road |
| 00:19:39 |
I'll draw you a map |
| 00:19:40 |
No, that's my pen! |
| 00:19:42 |
I'll repeat it once more |
| 00:19:43 |
Turn from Humphrey's Avenue |
| 00:19:45 |
Near to Kimberley Road |
| 00:19:47 |
But don't turn down Salisbury Road |
| 00:19:49 |
Understand? No |
| 00:19:51 |
I'll draw you a map No |
| 00:19:53 |
Granville Road |
| 00:19:55 |
Turn from Humphrey's Avenue |
| 00:19:56 |
Don't turn down Salisbury Road |
| 00:20:00 |
Remember, don't turn down Salisbury Road |
| 00:20:12 |
His company in Japan had sent him |
| 00:20:15 |
When he got here he checked |
| 00:20:20 |
The world is full of men! |
| 00:20:22 |
Why do you have to choose a Japanese? |
| 00:20:24 |
Get rid of him! |
| 00:20:26 |
I will never meet him! |
| 00:20:28 |
You want my blessing? |
| 00:20:31 |
Not while I'm alive! |
| 00:20:35 |
It had been going on for ages |
| 00:20:37 |
But due to Mr. Wang's opposition |
| 00:20:39 |
So they had to break up |
| 00:21:18 |
Can you tell me what you feel? |
| 00:21:26 |
Do you like me? |
| 00:21:31 |
Or not? |
| 00:21:37 |
I'm scared to hear your answer |
| 00:21:48 |
But I have to ask anyway |
| 00:22:13 |
Leave with me |
| 00:22:56 |
Goodbye |
| 00:23:16 |
The man finally went back to Japan |
| 00:23:21 |
That's when Miss Wang |
| 00:23:53 |
Hey, ask your boss |
| 00:23:57 |
Mr. Chow you'd better ask him yourself |
| 00:24:02 |
Mr. Chow... |
| 00:24:04 |
Hasn't he left already? |
| 00:24:06 |
Why is he back? |
| 00:24:07 |
I will not see him! |
| 00:24:09 |
If you won't give him up... |
| 00:24:11 |
Get out! Go away with him! |
| 00:24:18 |
I assumed that |
| 00:24:20 |
...because he loved his opera |
| 00:24:22 |
Actually he didn't want anyone |
| 00:25:18 |
What are you doing? |
| 00:25:30 |
Come back for me |
| 00:25:35 |
I said, wait till you grow up! |
| 00:25:41 |
I like it |
| 00:25:44 |
Mr. Wang's biggest trouble |
| 00:25:46 |
...is about his two daughters |
| 00:25:49 |
The elder one was crazy |
| 00:25:51 |
The younger one |
| 00:25:53 |
She kept coming into my room for drinks |
| 00:25:55 |
Then she ran off with |
| 00:25:59 |
another drummer from a club band |
| 00:26:02 |
After she left |
| 00:26:05 |
Hey, have a word with your boss for me |
| 00:26:07 |
I'm a bit late with the rent |
| 00:26:08 |
Anyway, he has my deposit |
| 00:26:11 |
Mr. Chow, tell him yourself |
| 00:26:13 |
He's in a foul mood these days |
| 00:26:15 |
What's eating him? |
| 00:26:17 |
First, one daughter ran away |
| 00:26:19 |
Now the other one's in hospital |
| 00:26:20 |
That's why he's so angry |
| 00:26:21 |
Why is she in hospital? |
| 00:26:23 |
He wouldn't say he was quite strange... |
| 00:26:26 |
Stay clear of him! |
| 00:26:27 |
So, that's it? |
| 00:26:30 |
Anyhow, give him my invitation |
| 00:26:31 |
It's my father's birthday banquet |
| 00:26:32 |
He can deduct his gift |
| 00:26:37 |
Later they imposed a curfew in Hong Kong |
| 00:26:41 |
Home-made bombs caused panic |
| 00:26:43 |
The economy stopped then |
| 00:26:48 |
I stopped going out |
| 00:26:50 |
Some thought I was a reformed character |
| 00:26:52 |
Actually, I was writing |
| 00:26:55 |
a story called '2046' |
| 00:26:57 |
All about men and women |
| 00:26:59 |
...risking everything |
| 00:27:02 |
What's that? |
| 00:27:05 |
Let's go to... |
| 00:27:07 |
2046 |
| 00:27:09 |
I made it as bizarre and erotic |
| 00:27:12 |
The readers liked it |
| 00:27:15 |
Some didn't take |
| 00:27:19 |
But all '2046' meant to me was... |
| 00:27:21 |
...the number of a hotel room |
| 00:27:26 |
I made up the whole thing |
| 00:27:28 |
But some of my own experiences |
| 00:29:55 |
People I ran into |
| 00:29:58 |
...turned up in my stories |
| 00:29:59 |
I felt more and more at ease |
| 00:30:13 |
Around that time |
| 00:30:17 |
More trouble with his two daughters... |
| 00:30:19 |
But also because of the bad state |
| 00:30:21 |
A lot of the rooms were empty |
| 00:30:24 |
Then in September, the rioting ended |
| 00:30:27 |
Life went back to normal |
| 00:30:36 |
Soon, someone moved into 2046 |
| 00:30:48 |
Have you nearly finished? |
| 00:30:49 |
It's too early in the day for that! |
| 00:30:51 |
Some of us are trying to sleep! |
| 00:31:51 |
Peeking? |
| 00:31:53 |
The woman next door is quite a dish! |
| 00:31:55 |
What are my chances? |
| 00:31:56 |
You're off your head! |
| 00:31:58 |
A father-to-be shouldn't have that |
| 00:32:00 |
Now she's pregnant |
| 00:32:01 |
My wife won't let me touch her! |
| 00:32:03 |
Come on |
| 00:32:08 |
Put in a word for me |
| 00:32:09 |
Okay... |
| 00:32:11 |
How much? |
| 00:32:13 |
How much have you got? |
| 00:32:16 |
Only $100... |
| 00:32:17 |
Wait for my call |
| 00:32:18 |
Mr. Chow! |
| 00:32:22 |
Mr. Chow, a call for you! |
| 00:32:24 |
Would it be too early, huh? |
| 00:32:26 |
She's not up yet |
| 00:32:30 |
Why come over? |
| 00:32:31 |
I told you, it has to be arranged |
| 00:32:34 |
She's not some street walker! |
| 00:32:38 |
A fellow artist like you |
| 00:32:40 |
Show her a little respect, will you? |
| 00:32:43 |
Yes, I'll tell you right away! |
| 00:32:47 |
Miss Bai, your key |
| 00:32:50 |
You're back, Miss Bai |
| 00:33:03 |
Who is it? |
| 00:33:06 |
Who are you looking for? |
| 00:33:07 |
Mr. Chow suggested I come by... |
| 00:33:11 |
You're back, Mr. Chow |
| 00:33:13 |
Did you win on the dogs? |
| 00:33:14 |
I lost! I won a little |
| 00:33:39 |
Looking for me? |
| 00:33:45 |
I think you know this person? |
| 00:33:49 |
What are you doing in that room? |
| 00:33:50 |
You said you'd arrange it! I paid you! |
| 00:33:54 |
When did I say it was this room? |
| 00:33:55 |
I want this one |
| 00:33:57 |
I said this one |
| 00:33:59 |
I said this one |
| 00:34:01 |
I told you, the room on the left! |
| 00:34:04 |
I said I wanted that one! |
| 00:34:08 |
Who is it? |
| 00:34:15 |
Oh, you again! |
| 00:34:17 |
I just wanted to apologize |
| 00:34:21 |
Forget it. Go away |
| 00:34:31 |
My editor was out of line |
| 00:34:33 |
But he's not really so bad |
| 00:34:35 |
Just a bit stingy! Never pays his way! |
| 00:34:39 |
Always says he's broke |
| 00:34:41 |
So I thought I'd play a trick on him |
| 00:34:45 |
At my expense? Didn't you go a bit far? |
| 00:34:51 |
He only fall for it |
| 00:34:52 |
You're quite a flirt! |
| 00:34:57 |
Just stating the fact! |
| 00:35:00 |
A small token of apology |
| 00:35:04 |
please accept it |
| 00:35:07 |
I don't want it |
| 00:35:09 |
You're still mad, aren't you? |
| 00:35:13 |
Please accept it No! |
| 00:35:15 |
Come on... No! |
| 00:35:16 |
It's just a token... |
| 00:35:20 |
Don't make fun of me. I mean what I say! |
| 00:35:23 |
Now, get out! |
| 00:35:29 |
That's good, let it all out |
| 00:35:33 |
How can I make you feel better? |
| 00:35:35 |
Slap me again! |
| 00:35:36 |
Think I wouldn't dare? |
| 00:35:38 |
Come closer! |
| 00:35:45 |
Bastard! |
| 00:35:56 |
Don't be so petty! |
| 00:35:57 |
That's enough |
| 00:35:59 |
I'm courteous enough not |
| 00:36:03 |
That doesn't mean |
| 00:36:07 |
This time I'll give you face |
| 00:36:11 |
If there's ever a next time |
| 00:36:14 |
It won't happen again |
| 00:36:16 |
My face is still numb |
| 00:36:20 |
Accept it! |
| 00:36:21 |
No! |
| 00:36:24 |
They're just a token of my regard |
| 00:36:26 |
I chose them myself |
| 00:36:29 |
See if you like them |
| 00:36:32 |
If you don't, just throw them away |
| 00:36:43 |
Good |
| 00:36:53 |
I'll leave now |
| 00:37:12 |
Calm down! |
| 00:37:17 |
It's none of your business |
| 00:37:24 |
Who? |
| 00:37:27 |
Dabao! |
| 00:37:31 |
Which Dabao? |
| 00:37:33 |
The fat one or the skinny one? |
| 00:37:36 |
From Shanghai or from Shandong? |
| 00:37:39 |
The trouble is I know |
| 00:37:43 |
How should I know which one you mean? |
| 00:37:48 |
Yes, I did |
| 00:37:49 |
What are you going to do about it? |
| 00:37:54 |
Fine! |
| 00:37:55 |
I'll be waiting! |
| 00:38:02 |
Let me just say... |
| 00:38:05 |
Get out! |
| 00:38:06 |
You think I can accept this? |
| 00:38:09 |
Her or me |
| 00:38:11 |
You'd better choose! |
| 00:38:13 |
Now get out! |
| 00:38:50 |
24-Dec-67 |
| 00:39:22 |
You're back early! |
| 00:39:24 |
It's Christmas! |
| 00:39:26 |
Shouldn't you behaving dinner |
| 00:39:28 |
What boyfriend? |
| 00:39:35 |
Then let's have supper! |
| 00:39:37 |
Come on... |
| 00:39:39 |
You have so many girlfriends! |
| 00:39:43 |
Go out with them! |
| 00:39:47 |
They all want to be with me |
| 00:39:50 |
The fairest thing is to see none of them |
| 00:39:53 |
Come on, no point in staying |
| 00:39:57 |
I'm not in a good mood tonight |
| 00:40:00 |
I might get drunk... |
| 00:40:02 |
...and slap you again |
| 00:40:07 |
That's okay |
| 00:40:09 |
I'm used to it! |
| 00:40:11 |
If slapping me would make you happy |
| 00:40:12 |
take that as my Christmas present! |
| 00:40:18 |
Come on... |
| 00:40:20 |
Come with me |
| 00:40:22 |
Let's go! |
| 00:40:49 |
I didn't expect to spend Christmas |
| 00:40:52 |
What were you expecting? |
| 00:40:57 |
We'd made plans |
| 00:41:00 |
He was taking me to Singapore |
| 00:41:04 |
He says it's warm there at Christmas |
| 00:41:12 |
So I didn't even pack winter clothes |
| 00:41:17 |
What I'm wearing now... |
| 00:41:19 |
...is for summer! |
| 00:41:29 |
Have you been to Singapore? |
| 00:41:33 |
I worked there for several years |
| 00:41:40 |
What kind of work? |
| 00:41:42 |
One newspaper |
| 00:41:46 |
Is it fun there? |
| 00:41:49 |
It's okay |
| 00:41:55 |
Tell me more |
| 00:41:58 |
I won't be going... |
| 00:42:01 |
so I'll just have to imagine it |
| 00:42:09 |
What do you want to know? |
| 00:42:17 |
How's the climate? |
| 00:42:23 |
Pretty warm |
| 00:42:26 |
All year round |
| 00:42:29 |
Sometimes you can't tell |
| 00:42:34 |
The food stalls are great! |
| 00:42:37 |
Ping and I ate there after work |
| 00:42:40 |
We'd eat and drink till dawn |
| 00:42:49 |
Our landlord was a funny man |
| 00:42:52 |
Short and fat and he always wore a skirt |
| 00:42:55 |
what the Malays call 'sarong' |
| 00:43:01 |
But when you're away from home |
| 00:43:05 |
...it sometimes gets bored |
| 00:43:18 |
That was a dull meal! |
| 00:43:20 |
Another drink somewhere else? |
| 00:43:24 |
You really like to drink? |
| 00:43:27 |
It makes things easy |
| 00:43:28 |
When I'm drunk, I have no worries! |
| 00:43:33 |
Won't your girlfriends |
| 00:43:38 |
They're not stuck to me! |
| 00:43:39 |
They see other men too |
| 00:43:42 |
We just have fun together |
| 00:43:44 |
They still need to make a living! |
| 00:43:48 |
I don't get it |
| 00:43:50 |
Where does all that 'fun' get you? |
| 00:43:53 |
If you find the right person... |
| 00:43:55 |
...why waste time on the others? |
| 00:43:57 |
If I find the right person! |
| 00:43:59 |
A man like me has nothing much |
| 00:44:01 |
...except free time |
| 00:44:03 |
That's why I need company |
| 00:44:07 |
So people are just time-fillers to you? |
| 00:44:09 |
I wouldn't say that |
| 00:44:12 |
Other people can borrow my time too |
| 00:44:16 |
And this evening? |
| 00:44:19 |
Are you borrowing me |
| 00:44:21 |
No difference! |
| 00:44:24 |
Maybe I borrowed you earlier... |
| 00:44:25 |
...and then you're borrowing me |
| 00:44:28 |
Ridiculous! |
| 00:44:34 |
Don't get me wrong |
| 00:44:37 |
I don't intend to take advantage of you |
| 00:44:41 |
If that was what I wanted... |
| 00:44:42 |
...I had plenty of options |
| 00:44:44 |
I just want us to be drinking pals |
| 00:44:48 |
Is that okay? |
| 00:44:52 |
It's hard |
| 00:44:55 |
But I'll give it a try |
| 00:44:59 |
Okay... |
| 00:45:01 |
Let's try! |
| 00:45:07 |
Where to? Let's drink! |
| 00:46:40 |
Mr. Chow, you seem happy tonight! |
| 00:46:43 |
I certainly am |
| 00:46:46 |
This way please... |
| 00:46:50 |
Ping! Is it someone's birthday? |
| 00:46:53 |
Better than that |
| 00:46:57 |
Definitely worth celebrating! |
| 00:46:59 |
Mr. Chow |
| 00:47:01 |
Something expensive! |
| 00:47:04 |
Snake? |
| 00:47:05 |
Yes, snake would be good |
| 00:47:06 |
Snake isn't cheap |
| 00:47:09 |
Shut up! Don't mind him |
| 00:47:11 |
What'll it be Mr. Chow? Snake! |
| 00:47:14 |
And a lamb casserole too |
| 00:47:16 |
And bring Hoi's whiskey |
| 00:47:18 |
Yes! Good! |
| 00:47:36 |
Can't let this go to waste |
| 00:47:39 |
Where's your girl, Chow? |
| 00:47:41 |
It's already 2 a.m. Is she coming? |
| 00:47:44 |
She isn't coming |
| 00:47:47 |
I don't think she's coming |
| 00:47:49 |
It's all your fault |
| 00:47:51 |
It's because of you that this happened |
| 00:47:52 |
Why blame me? |
| 00:47:53 |
You brought this on yourself |
| 00:47:55 |
You said she was gentle and obedient |
| 00:47:58 |
Now we know the truth! |
| 00:48:01 |
I said she was sometimes obedient... |
| 00:48:03 |
...and sometimes gentle |
| 00:48:06 |
But she's full of surprises. That's fun |
| 00:48:09 |
So, what next? Yes, what now? |
| 00:48:12 |
What's more I can do? |
| 00:48:13 |
Whatever you feel like doing |
| 00:48:20 |
And then what happened? |
| 00:48:22 |
Tell me! |
| 00:48:29 |
How are you going to thank me? |
| 00:48:36 |
Pervert! |
| 00:48:46 |
Open up! |
| 00:48:48 |
Who is it? |
| 00:48:49 |
Open the door! |
| 00:48:53 |
It's late |
| 00:48:56 |
You played a fine joke on me tonight |
| 00:48:59 |
I finished work late |
| 00:49:01 |
Too late to get there |
| 00:49:04 |
So I didn't come |
| 00:49:09 |
What's this? |
| 00:49:10 |
That's your fault too |
| 00:49:15 |
How could I know you'd stand me up? |
| 00:49:18 |
I thought I'd wine few hundred |
| 00:49:22 |
Instead I lost my moustache |
| 00:49:24 |
This is all your fault |
| 00:49:27 |
You deserved it |
| 00:49:30 |
Who pushed you into the bet? |
| 00:49:34 |
I'll tell you something... |
| 00:49:36 |
Ping asked me not to show up |
| 00:49:39 |
Anyhow... |
| 00:49:41 |
I wasn't that fond of the moustache |
| 00:49:45 |
You look younger now |
| 00:49:48 |
Don't you like it? |
| 00:49:51 |
You're making fun of me! |
| 00:49:54 |
You tricked me! |
| 00:50:00 |
I'll get you for this |
| 00:50:04 |
How will you make it up to me? |
| 00:50:06 |
At least give me a kiss |
| 00:50:12 |
You bit me! |
| 00:50:13 |
Come and get me! |
| 00:50:17 |
You're in for it when I catch you! |
| 00:50:23 |
Don't touch me there! |
| 00:50:43 |
You fool |
| 00:50:47 |
You think you are being merciful? |
| 00:50:50 |
I am bleeding |
| 00:50:53 |
I wonder if the weather matters |
| 00:50:55 |
Just a lamb casserole and I am like this |
| 00:51:02 |
Do you think I've gone wild? |
| 00:51:08 |
What? Don't move! |
| 00:51:12 |
What are you doing? |
| 00:51:13 |
Shaving you Don't! |
| 00:51:17 |
Who knows where that shaver's been |
| 00:51:20 |
It may bring me bad luck |
| 00:51:28 |
Let's go for Round Two! |
| 00:51:31 |
I don't want it |
| 00:51:58 |
Why are you dressed? |
| 00:52:04 |
I'm going back to my room... |
| 00:52:06 |
I'm exhausted |
| 00:52:13 |
This is all I have |
| 00:52:16 |
Aside from loose change for the bus |
| 00:52:18 |
Here's $200 |
| 00:52:23 |
Please take it |
| 00:52:24 |
I don't want it |
| 00:52:26 |
I wasn't selling |
| 00:52:29 |
That's not how I meant it |
| 00:52:31 |
I want to pay for your torn dress |
| 00:52:35 |
Please take it |
| 00:52:39 |
I see... |
| 00:52:42 |
You're afraid I'll cling to you |
| 00:52:50 |
Fine... |
| 00:52:51 |
I'll take $10 |
| 00:52:54 |
Think of it as a discount rate |
| 00:53:00 |
If you ever want to come over again |
| 00:53:02 |
...I'll charge the same |
| 00:55:42 |
I'm going back to my room |
| 00:56:13 |
Come here |
| 00:56:45 |
Not tonight |
| 00:56:48 |
Why not? |
| 00:56:50 |
Not in the mood? |
| 00:56:54 |
Can't take the strain tonight |
| 00:56:58 |
Anyhow, I'm a bit short of cash |
| 00:57:01 |
Never mind, you can owe me |
| 00:57:08 |
No... |
| 00:57:10 |
I don't like being in debt |
| 00:57:33 |
The reception's at 6, dinner at 8 |
| 00:57:35 |
I don't mind if you can't make it |
| 00:57:39 |
No more than you do! |
| 00:57:40 |
You hold banquets all year round! |
| 00:57:42 |
I've had four birthday invitations |
| 00:57:45 |
I'll send over |
| 00:57:47 |
Think of people with money... |
| 00:57:48 |
Write in their names |
| 00:57:50 |
Okay. That's settled |
| 00:57:52 |
Mr. Chow, holding another banquet? |
| 00:57:54 |
You know we have birthdays |
| 00:57:57 |
Another of mine has come around |
| 00:57:58 |
No doubt |
| 00:58:01 |
Here's one for your boss Alright |
| 00:58:03 |
Tell him that since we're so close... |
| 00:58:04 |
He can deduct his gift |
| 00:58:07 |
Make sure he gets it Okay |
| 00:58:15 |
It's late, what's so urgent? |
| 00:58:16 |
Just got back from Macau |
| 00:58:18 |
Chow asked me to bring you a present |
| 00:58:23 |
You two went to Macau? |
| 00:58:24 |
Yes, we had some days off |
| 00:58:27 |
So we went to the casino |
| 00:58:35 |
Oh, it's beautiful |
| 00:58:38 |
He says he found some money... |
| 00:58:40 |
...in his pocket |
| 00:58:42 |
So before losing it all at the tables... |
| 00:58:46 |
...he bought you a present |
| 00:58:50 |
Where is he? |
| 00:58:51 |
Not back yet. You know what he's like |
| 00:58:55 |
Extravagant at the start of the month |
| 00:58:56 |
...and broke wall before the end |
| 00:58:58 |
He made several thousand hosting |
| 00:59:01 |
So now he's really enjoying himself! |
| 00:59:03 |
Is he there alone? |
| 00:59:05 |
Of course not! There's a gang of them |
| 00:59:08 |
He likes company |
| 00:59:11 |
Was he always like this? |
| 00:59:13 |
Let's not talk about him |
| 00:59:21 |
But I should warn you... |
| 00:59:23 |
I know you like Chow a lot |
| 00:59:25 |
Don't waste your time on him |
| 00:59:28 |
He's not serious! |
| 00:59:50 |
Guess who? |
| 00:59:52 |
There's only one possibility! |
| 00:59:56 |
Let me have a bite first! |
| 01:00:06 |
What are you doing here? |
| 01:00:11 |
What am I doing here? |
| 01:00:13 |
What do you think? |
| 01:00:47 |
I thought I was pretty wild |
| 01:00:50 |
But you're much wilder! |
| 01:00:53 |
Pay up! |
| 01:00:56 |
I haven't seen you for ages |
| 01:01:00 |
I've been busy |
| 01:01:02 |
Liar |
| 01:01:04 |
Tell me the truth |
| 01:01:08 |
I am! |
| 01:01:13 |
Who was that woman the other day? |
| 01:01:17 |
What woman? |
| 01:01:19 |
Don't pretend |
| 01:01:23 |
I saw her leaving your room |
| 01:01:27 |
Who is she? |
| 01:01:29 |
A friend |
| 01:01:31 |
A friend? |
| 01:01:35 |
What was she doing in your room? |
| 01:01:39 |
Don't be nosy, alright? |
| 01:01:41 |
Go back to your room |
| 01:01:43 |
I have work to do |
| 01:01:49 |
I won't! |
| 01:01:53 |
I'm sleeping here tonight |
| 01:01:56 |
An overnight stay is expensive |
| 01:01:57 |
No problem |
| 01:01:59 |
Name your price |
| 01:02:02 |
I'd pay anything to be with you |
| 01:02:07 |
Retail is fine |
| 01:02:09 |
Wholesale is out of the question |
| 01:02:11 |
Why? |
| 01:02:13 |
I just don't like it |
| 01:02:17 |
Could you make an exception for me? |
| 01:02:20 |
No |
| 01:02:24 |
You treat all women like this? |
| 01:02:28 |
Except one |
| 01:02:30 |
Who? |
| 01:02:31 |
My mother |
| 01:02:32 |
I'm serious |
| 01:02:38 |
I don't mind you having other women |
| 01:02:41 |
But I won't be treated the same as them |
| 01:02:49 |
I don't care if you love me or not |
| 01:02:52 |
I'll love you anyway |
| 01:02:57 |
Since we got together |
| 01:03:02 |
I hoped you'd think the same way |
| 01:03:06 |
Will you promise me that? |
| 01:03:08 |
No |
| 01:03:23 |
I see... |
| 01:03:26 |
Then we're through |
| 01:03:33 |
I'll never bother you |
| 01:03:35 |
And I don't ever want you |
| 01:03:42 |
Here, $10! |
| 01:03:45 |
Tonight, I'm paying |
| 01:03:53 |
Thank you! |
| 01:03:55 |
If you're ever in the mood |
| 01:03:59 |
I'll charge you the same |
| 01:04:18 |
Having fun? |
| 01:04:21 |
What do you care? |
| 00:00:08 |
I meant to be |
| 00:00:10 |
You bring back women |
| 00:00:14 |
I want to see if you really don't mind |
| 00:00:36 |
I won't go |
| 00:00:47 |
Forget it! Don't come! |
| 00:02:09 |
After Bai Ling moved out... |
| 00:02:11 |
...she started dating Dabao |
| 00:02:14 |
And I saw other women too |
| 00:02:16 |
If our paths ever crossed |
| 00:02:19 |
Rather pathetic, I know |
| 00:02:20 |
But it was better for us |
| 00:02:23 |
We haven't kept in touch for long |
| 00:02:25 |
Despite the fact that... |
| 00:02:28 |
she pops up in my stories |
| 00:02:39 |
Your change, please check it |
| 00:02:42 |
Thank you |
| 00:02:44 |
Are you going out later? |
| 00:02:47 |
Why? |
| 00:02:49 |
Could you post this letter for me? |
| 00:02:59 |
Sure |
| 00:03:01 |
Then Miss Wang came back |
| 00:03:03 |
I knew from the familiar sound coming |
| 00:03:09 |
Please take me with you! |
| 00:03:12 |
Good! |
| 00:03:15 |
What are you doing? |
| 00:03:16 |
Wasn't I clear? |
| 00:03:18 |
Don't contact that Japanese man! |
| 00:03:20 |
Why are you writing to him in secret? |
| 00:03:22 |
Aren't you ashamed? |
| 00:03:25 |
Return his letter! |
| 00:03:28 |
No? |
| 00:03:56 |
What are you reading? |
| 00:03:58 |
A martial-arts novel |
| 00:04:00 |
You like them? |
| 00:04:11 |
If your friend wants |
| 00:04:13 |
and you don't want your dad to know |
| 00:04:15 |
tell him to send them to my room |
| 00:04:17 |
I'll pass them on to you |
| 00:04:28 |
She looked happier |
| 00:04:32 |
We talked more often |
| 00:04:35 |
Mr. Chow, another letter for you |
| 00:04:41 |
Another! |
| 00:04:44 |
Those Japanese girls are so passionate |
| 00:05:12 |
Let's see each other again |
| 00:05:17 |
Then |
| 00:05:20 |
if you still think |
| 00:05:24 |
...tell me so, frankly |
| 00:05:29 |
That day, six years ago... |
| 00:05:32 |
...a rainbow appeared in my heart |
| 00:05:38 |
It's still there |
| 00:05:43 |
Like a flame burning inside me |
| 00:05:49 |
But what are your real feelings for me? |
| 00:05:52 |
Are they like a rainbow after the rain? |
| 00:05:58 |
Or... |
| 00:06:02 |
...did that rainbow fade away long ago? |
| 00:06:11 |
I'm waiting for your answer |
| 00:06:26 |
Why do you write |
| 00:06:29 |
So I won't starve! |
| 00:06:32 |
Don't you worry about your reputation? |
| 00:06:38 |
Maybe I'm not such a nice guy |
| 00:06:41 |
Why not try writing something else? |
| 00:06:43 |
Who'd read it? |
| 00:06:45 |
How about a martial-arts novel? |
| 00:06:46 |
People love them |
| 00:06:49 |
That's too hard |
| 00:06:51 |
I tried once co-writing it with someone |
| 00:06:55 |
We locked ourselves away for months |
| 00:06:59 |
Just got sore heads |
| 00:07:02 |
Those were good times... |
| 00:07:06 |
I like writing too |
| 00:07:08 |
It's hard to make a living by writing |
| 00:07:12 |
I just do it for fun |
| 00:07:15 |
I'll show you some of my stuff |
| 00:07:17 |
Please do |
| 00:07:28 |
Here you are, read this first |
| 00:07:38 |
Wow, you're prolific! |
| 00:07:39 |
When you've read it |
| 00:07:41 |
Don't forget to give it back! |
| 00:07:43 |
Sure! |
| 00:08:06 |
Have you read my story yet? |
| 00:08:08 |
I have |
| 00:08:10 |
What did you think? |
| 00:08:15 |
I think you should |
| 00:08:19 |
Why not? |
| 00:08:24 |
You're so good |
| 00:08:25 |
You could put me out of work |
| 00:08:35 |
The Spider Saga thrusts out |
| 00:08:37 |
Two chopsticks take off like rockets! |
| 00:08:40 |
They land with explosive force! |
| 00:08:42 |
Kaboom! The mountain splits apart! |
| 00:08:44 |
Slow down, I can't keep up |
| 00:08:46 |
Come on, they' re waiting for it |
| 00:08:48 |
Alright... |
| 00:08:51 |
Caught up? |
| 00:08:52 |
Go on |
| 00:08:55 |
Where was I? |
| 00:08:56 |
The mountain splits apart... |
| 00:08:58 |
Right... The mountain splits apart... |
| 00:09:01 |
...smashing Iron Abacus to the ground! |
| 00:09:03 |
Iron Abacus? |
| 00:09:05 |
Isn't he dead? |
| 00:09:10 |
Is he? |
| 00:09:12 |
Then make it Iron Head |
| 00:09:14 |
Where did Iron Head |
| 00:09:16 |
Hey, anything goes |
| 00:09:21 |
Why don't you get some rest? |
| 00:09:23 |
I'll finish it for you |
| 00:09:25 |
Okay |
| 00:09:36 |
It felt like having an assistant |
| 00:09:38 |
When I was late with my copy |
| 00:09:44 |
She was just a girl... |
| 00:09:46 |
...but she could write as realistic |
| 00:09:50 |
We got along very well |
| 00:09:53 |
That was my happiest summer ever |
| 00:09:59 |
But it didn't last... |
| 00:10:18 |
I encouraged her to face up |
| 00:10:21 |
But she didn't dare |
| 00:10:24 |
She wanted to pay her own way |
| 00:10:27 |
So I got her a job |
| 00:10:31 |
Thanks! |
| 00:10:34 |
She told her father... |
| 00:10:37 |
...she was going out with me |
| 00:10:47 |
Sometimes I found an excuse |
| 00:10:52 |
You're here late |
| 00:10:53 |
If you're ready to go |
| 00:10:55 |
I have a taxi waiting |
| 00:11:04 |
No thanks |
| 00:11:10 |
Then I won't wait |
| 00:11:35 |
Feelings can creep up on you unawares |
| 00:11:40 |
I knew that, but did she? |
| 00:11:47 |
She was always asking... |
| 00:11:49 |
...if there was anything |
| 00:11:52 |
I could see what was on her mind |
| 00:11:55 |
I promised to write a story |
| 00:11:59 |
Something to show her |
| 00:12:03 |
As a joke... |
| 00:12:05 |
we thought of calling it '2047' |
| 00:12:14 |
But maybe I was being too oblique |
| 00:12:17 |
I'd begun to feel |
| 00:12:21 |
Rather it was more about me |
| 00:12:52 |
So I began imagining myself |
| 00:12:57 |
...on a train for 2046... |
| 00:13:00 |
...falling for an android |
| 00:13:13 |
If someone wants to leave 2046 |
| 00:13:16 |
No one can say |
| 00:13:19 |
Some people get away very easily |
| 00:13:22 |
Others find that... |
| 00:13:24 |
...it takes them much longer |
| 00:13:27 |
It takes great strength |
| 00:13:28 |
And it can hurt terribly |
| 00:13:31 |
I forget how long |
| 00:13:34 |
I start to feel very lonely |
| 00:13:36 |
It's rather boring at first |
| 00:13:39 |
But you slowly get used to it |
| 00:13:41 |
We have a range of cabin attendants |
| 00:13:44 |
They can satisfy your every need |
| 00:13:46 |
They will serve you devotedly |
| 00:13:49 |
Like an intimate friend |
| 00:13:51 |
But you must never fall |
| 00:13:56 |
Who'd ever fall for an android? |
| 00:13:59 |
Who can say? |
| 00:14:01 |
Events can creep up on you... |
| 00:14:03 |
...without you even noticing |
| 00:14:06 |
It happens all the time |
| 00:14:56 |
Paragraph 201 |
| 00:14:59 |
...warns that Area 1224-1225... |
| 00:15:01 |
...is especially cold |
| 00:15:05 |
The train heating won't be strong enough |
| 00:15:07 |
Passengers are advised |
| 00:15:12 |
Since I'm the only passenger... |
| 00:15:14 |
...I hug my android cabin attendant |
| 00:15:21 |
I wonder if it's her mechanism |
| 00:15:26 |
But I sense some responsive warmth |
| 00:15:38 |
It hurts... |
| 00:15:41 |
Why do you want to leave 2046? |
| 00:15:50 |
Do you know... |
| 00:15:53 |
...what people did in the old days... |
| 00:15:55 |
...when they had secrets |
| 00:16:05 |
They'd climb a mountain... |
| 00:16:08 |
Find a tree... |
| 00:16:11 |
Carve a hole in it... |
| 00:16:14 |
Whisper the secret into the hole... |
| 00:16:22 |
And cover it up with mud |
| 00:16:29 |
That way... |
| 00:16:31 |
...nobody else would ever |
| 00:16:48 |
I'll be your tree! |
| 00:16:51 |
Tell me, and nobody else will ever know |
| 00:17:00 |
I always... |
| 00:17:05 |
I... |
| 00:17:08 |
I always... |
| 00:17:15 |
Very funny! I... |
| 00:17:22 |
I always... |
| 00:17:25 |
Whenever anyone asked why I left 2046... |
| 00:17:28 |
I always... |
| 00:17:29 |
...I gave them some vague answer |
| 00:17:32 |
I always... |
| 00:17:39 |
I once fall in love with someone |
| 00:17:42 |
I couldn't stop wondering whether |
| 00:17:48 |
I found an android which |
| 00:17:52 |
I thought the android |
| 00:19:21 |
10 hours later |
| 00:19:55 |
I have a secret to tell you |
| 00:20:02 |
Leave with me |
| 00:20:12 |
I have a secret to tell you |
| 00:20:16 |
Leave with me |
| 00:20:24 |
I kept on asking |
| 00:20:28 |
But she never answered |
| 00:20:33 |
I began dreaming up excuses |
| 00:20:36 |
Do you know the Buddhist canon? |
| 00:20:40 |
'The 5 Decays of Celestial Beings'? |
| 00:20:42 |
The 5 Decays of Celestial Beings |
| 00:20:45 |
It's all about the gods... |
| 00:20:48 |
and how they go through this process too |
| 00:20:51 |
Our cabin attendants |
| 00:20:53 |
are superbly designed |
| 00:20:57 |
But there's one problem |
| 00:21:00 |
When they've served on |
| 00:21:03 |
...fatigue begins to satin |
| 00:21:06 |
They might want to laugh... |
| 00:21:10 |
...but the smile would be slow to come |
| 00:21:14 |
They might want to cry... |
| 00:21:16 |
...but the tear wouldn't weep |
| 00:21:21 |
This one is falling fast |
| 00:21:43 |
I think you'd better give up |
| 00:22:02 |
I grew desperate |
| 00:22:05 |
I felt like giving up |
| 00:22:09 |
But I was soon trying again |
| 00:22:22 |
I have a secret to tell you |
| 00:22:26 |
Will you leave with me? |
| 00:22:37 |
I have a secret to tell you |
| 00:22:55 |
Will you leave with me? |
| 00:23:24 |
Do you know what people |
| 00:23:27 |
...when they had secrets? |
| 00:23:41 |
They'd climb a mountain, find a tree |
| 00:23:45 |
Carve a hole in it... |
| 00:24:19 |
990 |
| 00:24:22 |
991 |
| 00:24:26 |
992 |
| 00:24:29 |
993 |
| 00:24:32 |
994 |
| 00:24:36 |
995 |
| 00:24:38 |
I slowly began to doubt myself |
| 00:24:44 |
The reason she didn't answer... |
| 00:24:47 |
...was not simply |
| 00:24:49 |
It's simply that she didn't love me |
| 00:24:53 |
So at last I got it |
| 00:24:56 |
It's entirely beyond my control |
| 00:24:59 |
The only thing left for me... |
| 00:25:02 |
...was to give up |
| 00:25:38 |
24-Dec-68 |
| 00:26:57 |
Why are you inviting me |
| 00:26:59 |
You know how much I'll lose in tips |
| 00:27:04 |
Wouldn't it be awful |
| 00:27:08 |
I need company |
| 00:27:12 |
That means me? |
| 00:27:20 |
Your boyfriend hasn't written in a while |
| 00:27:26 |
I told him not to |
| 00:27:30 |
Anyway, it's hopeless |
| 00:27:33 |
No point waiting for me |
| 00:27:38 |
Why is it hopeless? Go and look for him! |
| 00:27:42 |
If you don't, it really will be hopeless |
| 00:27:49 |
My dad will never give his consent |
| 00:28:04 |
If you were him... |
| 00:28:07 |
...what would you be doing tonight? |
| 00:28:12 |
Why don't you ask him? |
| 00:28:14 |
Have you got his phone number? |
| 00:28:34 |
I can't hear you |
| 00:28:39 |
Can you speak louder? |
| 00:28:43 |
I'm already shouting! |
| 00:28:47 |
I felt like Santa Claus that night |
| 00:28:51 |
I took her to the newspaper office... |
| 00:28:53 |
and let her make a long-distance call |
| 00:28:57 |
I was happy... |
| 00:28:59 |
...to see her so happy |
| 00:29:02 |
In fact, Area 1224-1225... |
| 00:29:05 |
...meant Christmas Eve and Christmas Day |
| 00:29:10 |
On the night before Christmas... |
| 00:29:11 |
...many people need |
| 00:29:15 |
I didn't get that |
| 00:29:20 |
Maybe that was for the best |
| 00:30:11 |
10 hours later |
| 00:30:15 |
I realized... |
| 00:30:18 |
...the reason the android |
| 00:30:20 |
...had nothing to do |
| 00:30:23 |
Nor that she didn't like him |
| 00:30:25 |
More likely... |
| 00:30:27 |
...she already loved someone else |
| 00:30:33 |
Soon after that, she went to Japan |
| 00:30:36 |
I gave her a copy of my story 2047 |
| 00:30:41 |
I hope she read it |
| 00:30:46 |
100 hours later |
| 00:30:55 |
1000 hours later |
| 00:31:20 |
Love is all a matter of timing |
| 00:31:23 |
It's no good meeting the right person... |
| 00:31:26 |
...too soon or too late |
| 00:31:38 |
If I'd lived in another time or place... |
| 00:31:42 |
...my story might have had |
| 00:32:36 |
I have to tell you... |
| 00:32:38 |
Yes? |
| 00:32:39 |
I'll be away for a couple of days |
| 00:32:41 |
Please pay my daughter this month's rent |
| 00:32:45 |
She's back? |
| 00:32:46 |
Not Jingwen? I mean pay |
| 00:32:52 |
So your worries are over! |
| 00:32:55 |
No, I have to go to Japan |
| 00:32:58 |
But you hate Japanese! |
| 00:32:59 |
Why go to Japan? |
| 00:33:01 |
Jingwen is getting married |
| 00:33:07 |
Congratulations |
| 00:33:09 |
I wasn't sure whether to go or not |
| 00:33:12 |
Now I've decided... |
| 00:33:18 |
When do you leave? |
| 00:33:21 |
No need for that |
| 00:33:25 |
She wanted me to ask you something |
| 00:33:28 |
What is it? |
| 00:33:29 |
She read your story '2047' |
| 00:33:32 |
But she finds the ending too sad |
| 00:33:35 |
She wonders if you can change it? |
| 00:33:41 |
I'll see what I can do |
| 00:33:58 |
An hour later |
| 00:34:15 |
10 hours later |
| 00:34:27 |
100 hours later |
| 00:34:56 |
Taxi! |
| 00:34:58 |
I also like the story |
| 00:35:01 |
But I don't know how to write it |
| 00:35:04 |
Some years back I had a happy ending |
| 00:35:08 |
But I let it slip away |
| 00:35:25 |
Don't turn your back on me! |
| 00:35:27 |
Has he been here? What's it to you? |
| 00:35:29 |
While I was depressed |
| 00:35:32 |
She hadn't changed |
| 00:35:34 |
You think he's yours? |
| 00:35:35 |
I thought you knew him well! |
| 00:35:37 |
That's the way he is! |
| 00:35:38 |
We've just been amusing ourselves |
| 00:35:40 |
So control yourself, Missy! |
| 00:36:11 |
Watching her taught me something |
| 00:36:16 |
When you don't take 'no' |
| 00:36:18 |
...there is still a chance |
| 00:36:37 |
18 months later |
| 00:36:50 |
Hello, is Mr. Chow there? |
| 00:36:57 |
I know I have no right to ask... |
| 00:37:02 |
...but they say I need a guarantor |
| 00:37:07 |
The man who recruits girls |
| 00:37:09 |
for the nightclub... |
| 00:37:11 |
...says he knows you |
| 00:37:14 |
Can you talk to him for me? |
| 00:37:21 |
No problem |
| 00:37:24 |
I know the man you mean |
| 00:37:28 |
I'll see him in a day or two |
| 00:37:32 |
Why did you choose Singapore? |
| 00:37:35 |
I don't want to stay here any longer |
| 00:37:39 |
I've been thinking about |
| 00:37:43 |
I went to take a look at the place |
| 00:37:48 |
Don't drink too much |
| 00:37:51 |
You don't look well |
| 00:37:55 |
Don't worry, it won't kill me |
| 00:38:06 |
You know what? |
| 00:38:09 |
I came by here at Christmas |
| 00:38:15 |
I thought I might run into you |
| 00:38:18 |
Why didn't you call me first? |
| 00:38:21 |
I don't know |
| 00:38:25 |
I came on impulse |
| 00:38:37 |
I don't know why |
| 00:38:42 |
That night I suddenly missed you so much |
| 00:38:50 |
Of course, we're drinking pals |
| 00:38:53 |
Of course you'll miss me |
| 00:39:03 |
You're right |
| 00:39:08 |
We're drinking pals |
| 00:39:22 |
Let's go |
| 00:39:26 |
Waiter Yes |
| 00:39:27 |
The check Okay |
| 00:39:32 |
Where are you staying? |
| 00:39:35 |
In a hotel, a rather small room |
| 00:39:40 |
But it's not too bad |
| 00:39:43 |
I'll see you back |
| 00:39:45 |
No, thanks |
| 00:39:48 |
I've just moved in, it's a mess |
| 00:39:52 |
I'll invite you once it's cleaned up |
| 00:39:57 |
I'll go first |
| 00:40:16 |
Seeing how much Bai Ling had changed... |
| 00:40:18 |
...I was suddenly overcome |
| 00:40:21 |
Indeed, last Christmas... |
| 00:40:23 |
...I was not in Hong Kong |
| 00:40:26 |
24-Dec-69 |
| 00:40:51 |
Have you seen Miss Su? |
| 00:40:52 |
Miss Su... not for some time |
| 00:40:56 |
Any idea where she might be? |
| 00:40:58 |
Probably back in Phnom Penh |
| 00:41:01 |
I didn't want to spend |
| 00:41:05 |
So I visited Singapore |
| 00:41:10 |
I waited for several days |
| 00:41:14 |
No one knew where she was |
| 00:41:16 |
Some thought she'd gone back |
| 00:41:18 |
Others thought she was dead |
| 00:41:24 |
Ping and I began working |
| 00:41:29 |
When my life lost most of its meaning... |
| 00:41:33 |
...I started gambling every day |
| 00:41:40 |
Those were hard times for me |
| 00:41:42 |
And only one person came to my rescue |
| 00:41:44 |
A professional gambler |
| 00:41:46 |
Some said she was a cheat |
| 00:41:49 |
She always wore black |
| 00:41:51 |
They called her Black Spider |
| 00:41:54 |
She kept her black glove |
| 00:41:57 |
Nobody knew why for sure |
| 00:42:01 |
Had her hand been chopped off |
| 00:42:04 |
Did the glove cover up a fake hand? |
| 00:42:07 |
Nobody really knew |
| 00:42:29 |
Why do you wear that black glove? |
| 00:42:33 |
It's a habit |
| 00:42:37 |
You're not from here? |
| 00:42:40 |
I am from Phnom Penh |
| 00:42:43 |
What a coincidence! |
| 00:42:52 |
The place is in chaos |
| 00:42:57 |
The newspaper sent me |
| 00:43:02 |
You're a journalist? |
| 00:43:05 |
Not anymore |
| 00:43:08 |
Why's that? |
| 00:43:13 |
They made some changes |
| 00:43:18 |
On half-pay, with next to nothing to do |
| 00:43:27 |
So why are you spending your time |
| 00:43:32 |
I tried to win enough |
| 00:43:39 |
You lost a lot? |
| 00:43:41 |
A few thousand |
| 00:43:49 |
You should never sat foot |
| 00:43:53 |
You won't win |
| 00:43:58 |
I didn't expect to win |
| 00:43:59 |
I just hoped to get back my stake |
| 00:44:08 |
If you have any left... |
| 00:44:13 |
...I can help you |
| 00:44:15 |
on one condition |
| 00:44:17 |
When you've got your money back |
| 00:44:29 |
Why are you helping me? |
| 00:44:32 |
I take a commission |
| 00:44:35 |
10% of whatever I win for you |
| 00:44:44 |
Think it over |
| 00:44:52 |
What good to her... |
| 00:44:57 |
After that, we went back |
| 00:44:59 |
We'd eat at the stall |
| 00:45:04 |
She won back all the money I'd lost! |
| 00:45:16 |
Thank you |
| 00:45:19 |
Don't thank me. It's yours |
| 00:45:26 |
If you need me again tomorrow... |
| 00:45:28 |
...I'll be waiting here after dinner |
| 00:45:34 |
I still don't know your name |
| 00:45:43 |
It's Su, Su Lizhen |
| 00:45:51 |
A few years ago I fall in love |
| 00:45:55 |
Her name was also Su Lizhen |
| 00:46:01 |
It was because of her |
| 00:46:06 |
I never dreamed |
| 00:46:16 |
I told her a lot |
| 00:46:20 |
At first, we kept it secret |
| 00:46:23 |
But gossip soon spread |
| 00:46:26 |
Later we moved into a hotel |
| 00:46:28 |
We had Room 2046 |
| 00:46:34 |
When I think back the whole thing |
| 00:46:38 |
You loved her deeply? |
| 00:46:46 |
It's history |
| 00:46:50 |
Let's change the subject |
| 00:46:52 |
You, what did you do before? |
| 00:47:01 |
You want to know about me? |
| 00:47:13 |
Come on, we'll play high-low |
| 00:47:15 |
If you win, I'll tell you everything |
| 00:47:36 |
It struck me that her past... |
| 00:47:39 |
...was like the hand |
| 00:47:41 |
A mystery with no solution |
| 00:48:00 |
Of all the men I've met... |
| 00:48:03 |
...you've been the best to me |
| 00:48:10 |
I'm already missing you |
| 00:48:20 |
Why won't you come with me? |
| 00:48:28 |
Didn't you... |
| 00:48:31 |
...promise not to ask? |
| 00:48:38 |
Hold me |
| 00:48:43 |
It may be years before we meet again |
| 00:49:33 |
The night we last saw each other |
| 00:49:35 |
I told her... |
| 00:49:37 |
take care |
| 00:49:41 |
Maybe one day you'll escape your past |
| 00:49:45 |
If you do, look for me |
| 00:51:11 |
Now it strikes me |
| 00:51:13 |
that what I told her |
| 00:51:17 |
In love, you can't bring on a substitute |
| 00:51:21 |
I was looking for what I'd felt |
| 00:51:26 |
I didn't realize that myself |
| 00:51:29 |
But I'm sure she did |
| 00:51:47 |
When the peony blooms |
| 00:51:49 |
She stands tall |
| 00:51:51 |
And then goes away |
| 00:51:53 |
Does she mean 'No' or 'Yes'? |
| 00:51:56 |
All for me? You want to get me drunk? |
| 00:51:58 |
I know you're a good drinker |
| 00:52:01 |
Let's drink! |
| 00:52:03 |
As much as we can! |
| 00:52:06 |
If there's any left over... |
| 00:52:09 |
...finish it next time you're here |
| 00:52:21 |
One small thing I have to ask you |
| 00:52:23 |
Here's some money, please take it |
| 00:52:26 |
What for? |
| 00:52:28 |
I know you borrowed from a friend |
| 00:52:33 |
Pay him back |
| 00:52:35 |
If there's any left, pay my rent for me |
| 00:52:41 |
Where did you get so much money? |
| 00:52:45 |
An old customer |
| 00:52:49 |
He's always been fond of me |
| 00:52:51 |
He treats me well |
| 00:52:54 |
But he's too old for me |
| 00:53:01 |
I ran into him yesterday |
| 00:53:04 |
He insisted on buying me dinner |
| 00:53:10 |
I needed money |
| 00:53:12 |
So I went |
| 00:53:17 |
After dinner, I told him I needed money |
| 00:53:22 |
He said I could have as much as I wanted |
| 00:53:31 |
I told him I needed $5,000 |
| 00:53:36 |
At first |
| 00:53:41 |
But I'm using it now |
| 00:53:49 |
Don't be silly |
| 00:53:51 |
You're still young |
| 00:53:56 |
I borrowed the money from my friends |
| 00:53:59 |
They don't need it back yet |
| 00:54:02 |
So keep this for yourself |
| 00:54:09 |
Pay me back later, there's no rush |
| 00:54:16 |
Why are you so kind to me? |
| 00:54:19 |
Perhaps it's fate |
| 00:54:30 |
Too bad it didn't last |
| 00:54:34 |
I wish it could have gone on longer |
| 00:54:39 |
Don't be like this |
| 00:54:41 |
Let me buy you dinner tonight |
| 00:54:44 |
Waiter, the check! Coming |
| 00:54:47 |
No, let me |
| 00:54:49 |
You're too kind |
| 00:54:53 |
You've spent enough time |
| 00:54:57 |
I don't want to owe you too much |
| 00:55:06 |
I need to make a phone call |
| 00:55:09 |
Please settle the check, I'll be outside |
| 00:56:14 |
Will you come in? |
| 00:56:17 |
No, thanks |
| 00:56:19 |
Get some rest |
| 00:56:21 |
I'll see you to the airport tomorrow |
| 00:56:24 |
Please don't |
| 00:56:27 |
I'll be terribly sad if you're there |
| 00:56:33 |
Take good care of yourself |
| 00:56:51 |
Why can't it be like, it was before? |
| 00:56:57 |
Please don't go |
| 00:57:00 |
Stay with me tonight |
| 00:57:07 |
Let me borrow you |
| 00:57:09 |
Do you remember? |
| 00:57:13 |
You once asked me... |
| 00:57:15 |
...if there was anything |
| 00:57:19 |
I've given it a lot of thought |
| 00:57:23 |
And now I know... |
| 00:57:27 |
there is one thing |
| 00:57:32 |
I'll never land to anyone |
| 00:58:21 |
As I recall... |
| 00:58:22 |
...that was the very last time |
| 00:58:26 |
I haven't seen her since that night |
| 00:58:42 |
Why can't it be like it was before? |
| 00:58:53 |
He didn't turn back |
| 00:58:55 |
It was as if he'd boarded |
| 00:58:58 |
Heading for a drowsy future |
| 00:59:00 |
Through the unfathomable night |
| 00:59:08 |
Everyone who goes to 2046 |
| 00:59:12 |
They want to recapture lost memories |
| 00:59:15 |
Because in 2046... |
| 00:59:17 |
...nothing ever changes |
| 00:59:20 |
But nobody really knows |
| 00:59:24 |
Because nobody has ever come back |
