L'Escargot Finale Part 1

Sorry for the late post. This time I am late cause I want the synopsis of the finale to be as accurate as possible. This show's ending did not give me any closure. Well, for 50%, maybe they did wish for this ending but not the other 50% including me!

So, let's start off where episode 28 left us. Tai Ting fell down the slope. Ka Lok, who was worried sick, went to look for him. She took a taxi and went to look around the area where Tai Ting actually went before the accident. The taxi driver told Ka Lok that this can't be the way to find him if she continues doing this. Yeah, she failed searching for him. She tried calling Tai Ting, but he left his handphone in the car. She went to his apartment to look for him. His mum reassured her that Tai Ting will be back for dinner, inviting Ka Lok to stay for dinner too. His mum was telling Ka Lok that she wish that Ka Lok would be her daughter-in-law even though she broke up with Tai Ting. But, Ka Lok said that Tai Ting had another girlfriend. His mum knew about it, telling her that she knows the girlfriend's name is Joyce. Suddenly, there's a call! No, not from the police, it's from Joyce, who's also looking for Tai Ting. His mum got puzzled when Ka Lok and Joyce wanted to find for Tai Ting.

Ka Lok and Joyce went together to the same place earlier to look for Tai Ting. They pass by the slope but couldn't find him. So, they headed back to the accident place when it started raining. Joyce twisted her ankle. They left the place. Damn it, they passed by the place where Tai Ting's car is! So, they went to make a police report but the police officer said that Tai Ting went missing for less than 48 hours, hence they can't send out their people to search for him. Ka Lok said once 48 hours had pass, they have to sent out the police to search for him.

Ka Lok and Joyce went to a hotel. Joyce brought her fishes, saying it was Tai Ting's lucky fish and is the fish is safe, so is Tai Ting. Joyce fell sick and Ka Lok stayed to take care of her. Early morning the next day, the police found a car and suspect is Tai Ting's car and wanted Ka Lok to go there to identify it. Bingo!! It is his car. And his handphone too!! So they went to search around the area and the hill slope area. Ka Lok shouted Tai Ting's name but got no answer back. I was thinking, if Tai Ting is badly injured and had not eat and drink for 2 days, where does have the energy to shout back? Logics people!! Can't the police send some K9 to help?!! Well, Tai Ting did heard them and wanted to call out (with a weak voice?) but after realising how bad he was to Ka Lok (c'mon, she was treating you worse than you treat her), he said, "Don't care about me".

The police had to stop the search as it was getting late and they didn't make any progress. So, Ka Lok went out to search for him. At night too!! It is freaking dangerous for a lady to go out at night!! But, who cares? You risked anything for you love one right? Yeah, sure enough, she saw a piece of Tai Ting's clothes (the gray jacket he wore) on the floor. She slide down the slope and lost momentum and started rolling (OH GOD!!) but didn't get hurt (THANK GOD!!). There, right next to her, she saw Tai Ting lying on the ground. She went to him and cradled his head, then called the police that she found Tai Ting. She gave him to drink a few drops of water.

Tai Ting : Ka Lok, are you angry at me?

Ka Lok : No, I was never angry at you.

Both of them are actually wrong. Tai Ting was on the verge to being unconscious. Ka Lok kept on crying, asking him not to sleep, fearing that he might die. Yeah, Tai Ting looked like he was dying. Finally, he was sent to the hospital where the doctor said he had twistes his left hand and right leg but he was okay. Luckily, he was found earlier or he might die. Man, those wounds on his faces!! But, still he looked handsome. Joyce called Ka Lok to tell her that she saw Ka Lok's message but was still abit sick. Joyce asked how was Tai Ting and whether she can go to visit him. When Tai Ting regained consciousness, Joyce was already there. She told him that she had a nightmare and in that nightmare Tai Ting died. And she hugged him, so he hugged (kind of patted her back). Ka Lok saw everything and left.

Long Kiu was sorting out the medicines for Kwan Sifu to take per day. Here's a joke that Kwan Sifu heard and told to his wife.

Kwan Sifu : If a person is colour blind, meaning he/she can only see black and white, what are the best jobs for them?

Long Kiu : What are they?

Kwan Sifu : 1st, is a news reporter because the words are black and the paper is white (referring to the reporter's script). 2nd, is a Chinese chess player (or what we call othello) because the playing chips are black and white. 3rd, is a piano player because the keys on a piano are black and white. Lastly, are government officials and politicians because they can't differentiate between black and white (meaning wrong from right).

Suddenly, he got a called from Kwan Ka Hong. Ah Hong said he needed his brother's help to settle and finish the renovation works cause he doesn't know everything about it. Kwan Sifu, changed for the better, told him off that since he took up the job, he should finish it up himself. Long Kiu told that Kwan Sifu that he changed alot. Kwan Sifu and Long Kiu went home to their mum's house to settle the house ownership. He changed the name of the owner to his wife which made Ah Hong's wife, Lau Siu Lan, mad. Actually, the house rightfully Kwan Sifu's cause he paid the house installment for years but Ah Lan wanted it for her husband. So, all of them fought over this matter. Ah Hong even blame his brother that he changed alot and suspect whether he has a brain tumour. This got Kwan Sifu very angry and he started to hit at his younger brother. Kwan Ka Wing and Ka Lok stopped everything by going out of the house with Kwan Sifu and Long Kiu.

Long Kiu said that if this happened over the ownership of the house, then she doesn't want the house. Kwan Sifu was puzzled cause in the beginning his wife wanted but now she doesn't want it. After talking for awhile, Long Kiu had to go back. One of their neighbours was shifting to a hostel as the rent of the flat was increasing and he couldn't afford it. Back at the Kwan's mum home, Ah Lan knew why Kwan Sifu was angry. Both of them just wanted a house for their kids.

Ka Wing went back to his house that both he and Bok King owns. Bok King was waiting outside the house. Ka Wing asked whether she forgot her keys but she was sad cause she went for 5 job interviews and failed all. She was tired of everything, having to go back home and sleep on a very soft mattress. Ka Wing insist she enters the house. To her surprise, the house was filled with furniture. And she got a new bed!! Ka Wing bought everything. Bok King said she would be sleeping on the bed cause the bed was in her territory but Ka Wing insist on sleeping on the bed cause he bought it. But, finally, the wife always win. He had to sleep in his sleeping bag in the living room. Then late at night, a thief entered their house. Ka Wing noticed and confronted the thief. Bok King came out of the room, asking what was the commotion. The thief held Bok King as hostage, asking for all the valuables to be handed to him. Ka Wing that they didn't have any valuables, proving with all the empty cabinets in their house. Bok King was panicking, her eyes on her favourite pillow in hand. The thief noticed something fishy and demanded her to hand over the pillow but she resisted. Ka Wing took the opportunity to the tackle the thief, getting slashed on his hand. The thief fled.

Later on, Bok King was wrapping Ka Wing's wounded hand, saying how stupid he was cause the thief had a knife. Ka Wing answered back, saying that Bok King should have given the thief her pillow. Bok King said it was her favourite pillow and money can't buy it. Ka Wing saw it as just an old and smelly pillow.

Bok King : Actually, the pillow's worth around HKD30000.
Ka Wing : What? The pillow is made from gold?

Haha, if it is that, wouldn't the pillow be hard? Actually, she kept all their savings in the pillow. Ka Wing even called her an old granny. It's kinda true cause old people last time used to keep their belongings in their pillow. Ka Wing handed the balance from the purchase of furnitures to her. Bok King was puzzled as to where he got all the money. Ka Wing said he was already used to being controlled by Bok King when it comes to spending. He even said that the money is for the family's use (that means that their going back together!). Bok King promised that she will keep all the money in their bank account.

Ka Wing : Throw that old and smelly pillow away.
Bok King : If I throw it away, what am I gonna hug tonight?
Ka Wing : *points to himself and went to carry her*
Bok King : I'm gonna hug you while I'm sleeping?

Aww, their so funny and cute!!

Back at their mum's house, Bok King and Ah Lan cooked lunch. Kwan Sifu was happy that finally Ka Wing and Bok King are actually getting married. Ka Wing, too, hoped that his brother will be together with his wife. When Ah Hong asked about the ownership, Kwan Sifu didn't want to talk about it saying that he came here cause he gave face to Ka Wing and Bok King. He asked where is Ka Lok. Bok King said she was at the hospital visiting a friend.

At the hospital, Ka Lok bought some sunflowers and was arranging it. Tai Ting asked her to sit by his side, wanting to talk to her.

Tai Ting : Sorry.

(You know, when I heard this, I thought he said that they won't be together. Plus the disappointed look on Ka Lok's face.)
Tai Ting : I've been so stupid for not trusting you and for hurting you with my words and actions.

C'mon, you both hurt each other. So, both of you don't owe each other.This was when Joyce came. She bought a hyacinth, fruits and desserts for Tai Ting. Wow, 5 types of dessert!! That's alot!! Ka Lok said that she had to go back but Tai Ting wanted to talk to her more but she insisted that she had to go. Look at his face, I could tell that he wanted to say, "I still love you more than I love Joyce". Joyce went to talk to Tai Ting. Tai Ting said he had something to tell her but she stopped him. Basically, she's trying to avoid everything. Such a coward!

Outside the hospital, Ka Lok was on her way back when Jim arrived saying that he has something to show her.

At Jim's house, Man Wah was knitting a baby shiry for her baby that is to be born. Jim's grandaunt came in. Man Wah told that she once knitted a shirt for Jim but it looked ugly, so she took it apart. Man Wah's condition is getting better, vomiting only once in awhile. The grandaunt went to a Guan Yin temple to get a talisman (a yellow triangular paper with red calligraphy on it with a red string tied to it) for her. The grandaunt said that she had other colours for knitting and went to get it. Man Wah remembered she had asked for a talisman earlier and went to look in the drawers. She found it in a box and realised that one passport was missing. She quickly went out of the room. The grandaunt asked what was the hurry, and she said that she had to go to the airport to see Jim. She ordered her maid to get a car ready for her. When she was coming down the stairs, she tripped, fell and rolled down, becoming unconscious. Her maid came and saw her lying on the floor.

Jim : The words that I said to Ting Kwun Fung, I hope you...
Ka Lok : Please, I don't want to talk about it.
Jim : Ok, I won't talk about it.

Jim was asking what's her relationship with Tai Ting now. Ka Lok said that this has nothing to do with him. Jim said that he cared for her.

Ka Lok : Where are you bringing me?
Jim : Wait, I want to give you a surprise.
Ka Lok : Where are we going? Please, stop the car! *sees signboard* You're taking me to the airport?
Jim : We're almost there.
Ka Lok : Stop the car. Please stop the car.
Jim : Wait, we're almost there. I won't hurt you.
Ka Lok : Stop the car or I'll jump off the car.
Jim : No!! *stops the car*
Ka Lok : *gets out and walks away*
Jim : Ka Lok! Please, come with me. I know that our relationship has been on the rocks and I know what's causing it. I know I can't give you a position (name), but we'll get married in Dubai and you can have anything you want.
Ka Lok : Get married in Dubai? *walks away*
Jim : *pulls her back and begging her* (saying all the crappy and cheesy lines. Yes, he said "I love you")
Ka Lok : *slaps* (WOOHOO!! A big win!!) Our relationship is over. Please, wake up! I've already wake up and now it's your turn. *walks away*

Then, Jim got a call from his maid saying that Man Wah was admitted to the hospital and she had a miscarriage.

So, this is part 1. The last part, part 2, I hope I could finish it by the next few hours or maybe a day or two. This show has alot of elements in each scene. I want to be as accurate as possible. Therefore, don't blame me if there is a slight difference from the show. I can't capture all that the characters are saying. Off to work for part 2. Please be patient!!
