Help me!
My wife.
My Wife!
How long?
I don't know what to do!
Where's the doctor?
There is no one.
I wanted to take her to the hospital.
But she was in too much pain.
There was so much blood!
I was so scared!
There, there...
Be calm.
Everythinq's going to be okay.
She's here now.
Breathe slowly.
Let me listen.
You can do it.
Breathe deeply.
Breathe deeply for me, child.
You're wife doesn't have much time left.
There's too much blood.
In my entire career,
I've never seen, something this bad.
The situation is drastic!
Call the doctor now!
Hurry!
This is bad!
Hurry!
She Will die!
No!
I need a doctor, right now!
One hour?
In one hour, my wife will be dead!
I don't know.
The doctor.
Honey! Honey!
Doctor...
There's so much blood.
I can't stop it.
Hold on.
I can't feel a pulse.
Did the baby come out?
Honey?
She's delirious.
I know she's delirious,
but you must be calm.
We have to take the baby out.
It has died in the womb.
That's the only way, to save your wife.
Honey. . . honey ..
I can't feel anything.
Did the baby come out?
I can't feel it...
Honey...
ls our baby beautiful?
Honey...
ls our baby beautiful?
Tell me...
Honey...
It's done right?
Honey...
Are you ready?
There are people here to see you.
They want a funeral service.
A very special one.
They've been waiting for a long time.
All these people are waiting for you.
Honey, you didn't want this to happen.
If we don't do it, Mother will...
You don't want it! Fine!
Oh, hi honey!
Did you sleep well?
I slept well.
I cooked for you.
Just eggs.
Are you going to work?
Yes.
I have to go to the factory.
Go ahead and eat.
Are you okay?
What's wrong?
Nothing. I just don't want to be home alone.
Honestly, I have to be at the factory today.
Mother is going crazy and there's so much work...
It's okay.
Stop talking.
I don't want to hear anymore.
I'm feeling better.
Go ahead and go.
It's okay.
Go.
I'll be okay. I want to clean the house.
Mother?
I'll be there shortly.
Yeah, I know.
Yes. Bye, bye.
Bye.
I'll be home early, ok?
Hey, it's me.
Yeah. lam better.
How are you?
What are you doing?
What?
You're busy?
Yes.
It's okay.
I'll call you back later.
Bye.
Mom?
It's me.
I am good now.
I am tired and I sleep a lot.
Mom...
I want to visit you.
I'm not sure when, but I'll ask him.
I'm okay. I'm very well.
Yes. I know.
Bye mom.
How are you feeling today?
I'm okay.
I've been busy cleaning all day.
So clean and neat.
We can have a house warming party soon!
Sorry.
I just wanted to show off our house.
Oh, I forgot about dinner.
Let me cook something.
No. Let's go out and eat.
It's ok. It will be quick.
No, wait. I want to take you out.
I'll need some time to clean up.
Don't worry. I'll wait as long as you want.
How do you like the place?
Ifs nice.
We've lived here for so many years
and we still don't know this city.
Are you feeling better?
I am still tired.
I need some more time.
Honey, let's go somewhere.
Let's go on vacation.
Out of this city.
Of course. When?
How about tomorrow?
So early? I have so much work to do?
The workers...
There is chaos at the factory.
The workers...
Forget it...Nevermind.
Let me finish some unfinished things
and we'll go as soon as possible.
In that case, I guess it would be fine.
Honey?
Are you alright?
I need to visit my mother.
We can start our vacation there.
And then go anywhere after.
I thought maybe I could take you away overseas.
Like Singapore to go shopping.
I really need to see my mother.
If that's what you really want
then we will go see your mother.
Thaw.!
Thao...
Honey. Honey!
Mother?
Yes, I know I'm running late.
If you know you're late, then why haven't you left?
H's that wife of yours again?
Please don't bring it up, Mother!
How long will this keep going?
I know.
I'll be there right away.
I told you already. She is your burden.
You still have your life and work.
Mom...
Enough...
Let's go!
After him!
Get him!
It's your turn!
Damn it!
Hey.
Oh damn! It's the boss.
Is my mother here?
Yeah. The boss is waiting for you upstairs.
Don't let them know I'm here.
Don't worry, Boss. I'll take care of it.
What's wrong with your leg?
Don't worry, Boss!
What is it Mother?
What's wrong with you?
It's nothing.
You see that?
All these years and we treat them like family.
Now look at how they treat us.
They're striking!
They've ruined the trucks!
Have you talked to them?
What do I say?
You look outside.
You think they want to talk?
What is it?
Your wife again?
Don't bring it up!
Since the day you married her,
this business has been going down.
She's only brought bad luck!
And what about that thing?
Have you gotten rid of it?
Um...
Everything is good Mother.
Fine? So, why is your face like that?
You're hiding something from me.
My wife's not well...
Is she on medication?
No. It's not like that.
I think that...
it's more...
psychological...
You mean...
She's crazy?
Don't say that.
I think you're going crazy too!
This household has two nutcases!
I'm thinking...
of taking her to her countryside hometown.
What for?
Why the countryside?
My wife...
really needs...
to get away from here.
Even if she's gone her mind is still gone!
I don't even know when she is sane or not.
What are you going to do in the countryside?
Don't tell me
you're going to
milk some cows.
Ever since you guys moved in,
you've been neglectful of the house.
It looks like an abandoned house!
You remember...
Its not easy to get a house in the city like that.
And it was a gift from your father and brother.
You see how busy I am with the factory!
And when I received the house, it wasn't perfect!
There's still lots to fix.
Well, of course!
Everyone has to work hard for a better living!
Not like that lazy wife of yours!
Go tell her that!
You need to pay more attention to our business.
I'm getting old.
I can't do this for long.
That house of yours...
beware it will only bring bad luck
If you neglect it, you are asking for trouble.
I'm just saying.
You still need to live your life.
We are a business class family.
I hate seeing your face like that.
We should have been more careful.
She got pregnant too soon.
So I didn't have time to plan.
She got pregnant too soon is because of you!
Finish your personal business.
Then take over this factory.
I have to go to Hanoi.
What?
Why so soon?
Well, everything is just so chaotic,
and your wife being like that
I guess I'll see...
You don't knock?
The workers want to talk to you.
What?
How did they get in here?
I can't stop them by myself.
They want to tear my shirt off!
What do I say?
What do they want?
I don't know?
Don't look at me!
What's wrong?
You scared me!
Do you hear anything?
What?
Laughing.
I don't hear anything.
I was in a taxi with him.
I was drunk out of my mind.
I didn't know where I was going.
But at 1 AM, his phone rang!
Who the hell calls him at 1 am'?
I got so pissed. You know me.
I wasn't thinking.
I took the phone and threw it out the window.
But the phone hit the Taxi guy in the head instead.
Poor guy couldn't drive straight.
He crashed the car into a fruit stand.
I didn't even care and walked out into the street.
Hitched a motorbike and took off!
Funny ha?
Hey, did you even hear what I have been saying?
I don't want to sit here talking all day.
I'm trying to avoid the subject.
And tell you my stupid stories.
It could be true...
or not.
I'm sorry.
It's okay. These things will pass by.
Don't be like that.
You are very lucky.
I know.
But I don't know what it is that I cant let go.
I can't explain it to you.
What's wrong?
I feel empty.
I know.
I understand.
Let me ask you this...
the...
coffin of your child.
What are you going to do with it?
I think I have to move on.
I know I have been a burden to everyone.
And I've decided to have a proper funeral.
That's great!
You should do that!
I know you will feel better.
You and your husband, should take a vacation.
I think I have to get out of this city.
How is Thanh?
He has been very good to me.
He tries really hard.
But...
Hey! But there's something else?
I don't want to think about it.
Are you serious? You and I don't have secrets.
Whatever it is, tell me.
Honestly...
I'm not fine.
I know what you're thinking.
But it's not what you think.
It's not...
about me keeping my child in the room.
I know for a fact it's not!
It's just that...
My husband...
Whenever I look at him.
I feel like
breaking his neck off
and see blood splatter everywhere.
You see!
It's okay!
I understand.
Don't be like that.
Listen to me.
You have to get rid of that thing.
So that you can move on with your life.
You understand?
I know!
You know how much I love my husband.
I love him.
But I don't know why this is happening.
I understand.
Be calm.
Let me ask you this.
What are your plans for the funeral?
Do you need help with the arrangements?
I have decided to bury it in my courtyard.
Honey.
Let's go in the living room and talk.
You should try to move on.
I know how hard it is for you.
It's not that I want to forget about it.
I'm also hurting.
It's my child too.
Let's move on.
It's dead.
Honey...
I don't think it is a good time for us to go anywhere.
My work is not stable.
Also...
I don't think you are well.
You need more rest.
Thanh! Thanh!
Wake up!
Why are you sleeping here?
Why didn't you close the gate?
Let me tell you, in this neighborhood
they'll even take your pots and pans!
Sit down.
Are you okay?
How long have I been laying there?
I think all night.
I came here and saw you laying there.
And fried some eggs.
You want some?
I'll fix some for you.
You fried eggs while I was laying there?
You actually believe me?
No, I bought them.
Where's Thao?
She's your wife? Why are you asking me?
I thought you were home alone.
Thanh, wait!
Honey! Honey!
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
What happened to you?
You didn't see anything?
Who was here?
Who?
You're scaring me.
You're freaking me out too.
Oh.
Minh.
You here?
Yeah, I've been meaning to come visit you.
But now, I think I should visit Him.
Last night.
I saw people on the roof.
There was someone in our house.
I heard people.
I've been sleeping.
You don't believe me?
You didn't see anything?
You think you saw ghosts?
You don't believe me, either?
I know it's been rough on you.
But you must focus on your business.
You expect to be home all the time? Taking care of your wife?
I'm so wormed out.
You have to worry more about the company.
There's still many urgent things waiting for you.
All these issues,
it's driving me crazy!
And now, it's my wife.
Boss.
You know I see you as family.
I know you have issues.
But I have them too.
What is it?
Just say it.
Just forget it.
We'll talk about it later.
What is this about your wife?
There are problems?
I don't know.
There's something wrong with her.
Oh, that's just husband and wife stuff.
It's marriage. It's normal.
Like yesterday,
she went crazy on me!
Without any reason.
Women are like that.
Don't trouble yourself.
I have a sister in-law who also had a miscarriage.
And went kind of crazy.
Just like your wife.
Her husband can't even come near her.
She freaks out!
And don't even mention about sex.
It would never cross her mind.
Never!
Prepare yourself.
Never!
And to be frank,
if you don't get back to the factory
the workers will be just as cold!
I know.
I can't control them myself.
I'm the manager and I have to sneak through the back door.
They see me and they throw rotten eggs.
They trashed my motorbike!
And your mom is cranky because of you.
And you with your crazy wife!
Just look at me!
Look at how I am.
Well, what do you want me to do?
They are threatening to sue you!
Sue for what?
I have to take care of my wife and kids.
My parents too!
And now you blaming me too?
Alright, I'll be there!
I'll be there!
That's fine. Forget it.
I'll go deal with it.
You stay home and deal with this husband and wife issue.
If I had a wife like yours,
I'd dropped her a long time ago.
Hi.
I'll be going now.
Come back to work soon, Thanh!
We all miss you!
Bye, Thao!
Don't talk about me like that.
No, I wasn't...
I'm not crazy.
How did you...
Shut up!
Honey! Don't go in there!
Yes, Mother?
You know what's going on here?
They're going crazy!
You hear this!
I went all the way from Hanoi to deal with this?
I'm old. I can't handle this anymore.
You have to get over here now and deal with this!
My wife is not well.
Forget her!
Please talk to them for me!
This is not the right time for me.
There's something wrong with her.
I really want to go but...
You hear this!
They are breaking in!
Rioting the place!
You have to come here now!
Boss! Shut the door!
Honey...
come out and have something to eat.
I need to talk to you.
Burn! Burn!
You want to die?
Hush...Hush...Hush!
Burn! Burn!
Burn it! Burn it!
Why would you want to bum the room?
Hello?
What? It's raining.
What papers? Invoices?
Alright, anything else you need?
I'm still at home. Okay.
Honey! Honey!
What are you doing?
Let's go inside.
Get inside!
No, I want the rain bath!
Let me go!
I'll get some clothes for you.
Mom!
What are you doing here?
I thought you were at the factory.
I have to leave for Hanoi.
Look after the factory for me.
You are leaving now?
Minh is there alone!
You have to be there to help him.
What happened to you?
Nothing...
Where's your wife?
Um...
She's sleeping.
I want to see her before I leave.
Wait!
Um...
She's not feeling too well.
No...
mean...
We didn't know you were coming.
Stop spoiling her!
We have enough problems.
She is not the princess of this house.
I have told you
that thing in the room...
A woman
who can't even bear a child is
good for nothing!
And you!
This is not acceptable!
This is not a big deal.
I lost a child myself.
Really?
You never told me.
You didn't need to know.
It was before you were born.
You don't need to concern yourself with this.
You tell her
It's not such a horrible thing.
And you shouldn't be like this.
Your brother does not want any more problems.
Don't force him to ﬂy out here!
You know,
how hard it's been for us.
Especially
my wife.
It's been driving me crazy!
And this house!
I keep telling you.
Get flowers, incense, fruits...
To brighten and warm this place up!
I'm tired of saying this.
Okay, okay. I'll do it.
Is your wife going to greet me or not?
I'll go see her myself!
Wait, wait!
Mom!
What is it?
Ah, nothing.
Let me go see her.
Wait. I’ll just tell her you came by.
Okay. Tell her I came.
And you...
need to get invoices and paperwork together.
And head over to the factory.
Minh cannot handle it himself.
Mom?
Clean up this house!
Hey, Boss. Can we take a break?
Boss...
Boss!
Let's take a break.
If we don't finish, we'll lose all of our customers!
Relax...
We've been working nonstop!
I have to get this done.
There are no more customers.
Why is that?
After your mom left this afternoon, all the customers cancelled on us.
Are you lying to me?
Why would I lie to you?
So, we really don't need to rush this, Boss.
Let's go get a couple of beers.
It will relax you.
Yeah, ok.
Let's go then.
Wait, I've got some here.
I told you.
You would feel better.
I'm sorry.
I'm just very tired.
All these months...
It seems everyday...
it's getting worse and worse.
I forgive you.
Is it that issue again?
Don't mention it.
You are pretty good tor allowing that thing to live with you.
If it were me? I would have gotten rid of it a long time ago.
I want to.
But it's my wife.
You're funny...
You are a Man! You decide what to do!
I want to.
But I feel bad for her.
Poor her.
I'm tired of listening to you talk like that.
You look hopeless.
I'm tired of it too.
It ruined my happiness.
God damn it...
It's been dead for months!
In the end, it's just you and me!
Let's drink more!
Let's go!
Quiet...
my wife will hear you.
So what?
Get her a drink to wake her up!
She freaked me out this morning.
Looking at me like that!
You have to get her drunk. To clear her mind.
Honey! Honey!
Come down and drink with us!
Honey!
No, never mind.
I'll be going now.
Hey!
I thought you wanted to drink?
No, that's okay.
Who's there?
I want to sleep alone.
Why?
What did you do today?
Are you tired?
I'm fine.
What did you do all day?
How about I cook for you?
Don't be like this.
I know that you are very tired.
But do you need to lay here all the time?
What do you want?
All day...
you sleep.
Everyday...you lay here.
You want me to cook?
I know!
I know you really like bathing in the rain.
You really like to bathe in the rain...
Let's bathe in the rain together.
If you don't like it...
Let me bathe you.
Yes?
I'll bath you. I'll massage you.
I'll clean you up. So you don't need to lay here all day.
So that you don't drive me crazy.
What do you want?
What do you want? Do you want me to bathe you? Cook for you?
What do you want?
Why don't you leave me alone!
You know!
I can kill you!
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean it.
I'm so sorry.
It's not me.
What did you say? I don't want this.
You want to kill me?
Why do you want to kill me?
What did I do wrong? I didn't mean it!
What did I do'?
Why do you treat me like this?
It's our child.
This is my child too.
Why do you have to treat me like this?
I'm so sorry. Forgive me.
You think I don't love my child?
I don't want it to be like this.
Don't I love you?
Don't I take care of this family?
I have lost everything!
I don't want this. Listen to me. Listen to me.
That!
It's that thing.
Don't touch my baby!
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I beg you. Please!
Don't you know it's dead!
It's dead!
I beg you!
Don't touch my baby!
Don't take my baby!
Who are you?
Why are you here?
Who's there!
Who are you?
You want my child?
You want it?
Thao!
We have to bury our child!
Listen to me!
Honey! Honey!
Please, we have to let it go!
Are your parents home?
Yes, yes.
Please wait here.
Hello m'am.
I called about the house in the alley.
My family called previously...
Yes, please come in.
Thank you.
These are the papers from your house.
Thank you.
Who are these kids?
Orphans.
They lived at my house?
Yes.
Where are they now?
This house was burned down a long time ago.
Burned?
Were the kids ok?
They fooled around,
and burned down the place.
They all died.
Everyone knows of this story.
Your husband renovated the house?
Yes.
But he sold it, and lost a lot of money.
Where is he now?
He died shortly after the house was sold.
You and I...
Let's start all over
