Speech of Silence~Episode 17

小生’s dad came out of the blue, apologizing and asking Claire to go back with him to America.

Kenneth took Kate out to an art exhibition, and was about to hold her hand, but then some kids ran through them. Kenneth wanted to go buy some drinks and Kate said she needed to go to the restroom, so they agreed to meet at a CD store. Kate however couldn’t read his lips wrong and went to the wrong place. After waiting for a long time, they went around trying to find each other. Kate was really unhappy that Kenneth had hurt his leg trying to look for her.



As she turned to leave, Kenneth caught her arm and hugged her, but Kate pulled away, as she couldn’t hear what he was saying to her. Kenneth stood, stunned as Kate walked away.



Chris told Kenneth that there are seven things that all successful men should have: money, face, house, car, a woman, a job and a handsome face.
Chris: The only thing you don’t have is a woman and a handsome face, but what about me? I only have the handsome face. Women need eight things: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, safety. They need to feel like everything they want will last forever.

Kenneth and Chris dressed up magicians for a new year’s party and Elaine got Kate to come. Kenneth asked her to be his volunteer and produced a ring from inside her necklace.
Kenneth: Even though we cannot be like other couples, it doesn’t matter. The most important thing is that you understand how I feel. Will you marry me? I will love you forever and we’ll be a very special couple. We will be happier than other couples, believe me.

<

She reached out towards the ring, but his smile faded when she gently closed the locket.
Kate: I’m sorry, but I cannot accept this ring.
Then she turned and ran out. Kenneth chased after her and grabbed onto her arm.
Kenneth: 棠棠, I’m serious!
Kate: I’m serious too. The problem between us can’t be solved. Even if you can touch me now, touch yourself, the truth won’t change.
Kenneth: What are you saying? I can’t hear you.
Kate: That’s what our problem is.
Kenneth gently let go of her arm as the crowd around them counted down to the New Year.

Speech of Silence~Episode 16

The doctor said that her brain had been affected by the... vibrations? Or the impact of when she had hit the ground? He also said that because her ear was injured again this time, she might become fully deaf.

Kenneth: 棠棠, can you hear me? Please don’t make me like 過兒 and have to wait for you for 16 years. You have to wake up quickly; we still have to do voiceovers together.
Kenneth was waking up beside her when Kate woke up. However, she started crying and asked why she can’t hear them all.



When he was talking to Kate who pretended everything was happen, but she couldn’t read his lips as well, and kept on getting the words wrong.



Elaine was fired and Chris the meanie, aww he didn’t mean to be mean, kept on teasing her. When Elaine spun around, he saw she was crying and then she slapped him in the face. Elaine decided to get revenge on Herbert by pouring a bucket of paint over him, but Chris stopped her and got the paint all over him instead!



Kenneth organized a surprise party for Kate to celebrate her coming home. In her room, she turned put on her headphones and turned up the volume really loud, but still couldn’t hear anything. Kenneth played a game with her. He recited tongue twisters and asked Kate to try and lip read what he was saying.

Kate said he was doing slow on purpose, so Kenneth did a faster one.
Kenneth: You OK, Me OK, OK loves棠棠. 棠棠 loves OK. OK don’t see棠棠 then not OK. 棠棠 sees OK then is OK!



The Director wasn’t happy at all, because Kate couldn’t match her words with the movement of the actor’s lips. Kenneth found her crossing the road and a truck was coming right at her, its horn beeping. Of course, she couldn’t hear it, and luckily Kenneth pushed her aside just in time.

Kate said she was dragging everyone down, causing everyone around her to suffer. Kenneth tried to comfort her, saying that once she did the operation, she could hear again. But Kate told him the truth that her nerves had been damaged and no matter what operations she did, she still wouldn’t be able to hear and the risks would be really high.

Kate: I will never be able to hear again, neither can I do voiceovers. Please go back and tell 明表哥 for me.
Kenneth: You can’t give up that easily. Even if you don’t do the operation, you can still do voiceovers. Your microphone and receiver haven’t broken.
Kate: The doctor told me.
Kenneth: Listen to me, your beautiful microphone is still here. It is your mouth. the microphone is so beautiful that even Director Tsui said it was good, right? And, your voice has emotion, the audience will remember. The audiences’ heart is the receiver, and your mouth is the microphone. They can hear it. 棠棠, as long as you relax and be yourself, nothing will have changed.



Just as Kate had gotten her confidence back, Yu Yang asked for Claire to do the voiceovers instead. Kenneth, Kingdom, Lau Dan and Yu Yang all stood there arguing while Claire and a teary Kate stood listening at the door.

She told everyone to stop arguing because of her and left. She wandered around, as the choirs walked about singing Christmas carols that she couldn’t hear.

Speech of Silence~Episode 15

Everyone at the voiceover studio used the flooding as an excuse to leave as they had been offered a job elsewhere before. Even Claire left as the person owning the other studio is her godfather.

When doing a photo shoot and Queenie and Elaine started fighting, Herbert didn’t stick up for Queenie at all. In the parking lot, he dumped Queenie, and said that Elaine didn’t like him just because of his money. Haha, he doesn’t realize how wrong he is! He drove off with Elaine and left Queenie standing there sulkily.



To prove to Kingdom that Yu Yang really cared about her, Lau Dan pretended that he had gone gambling and lost all his money. Kenneth pretended to be the ‘dai yi lung’ that captured Kingdom.

Yu Yang and Kingdom both chipped in to have the recording machines fixed and with Kenneth and Kate helping, the studio was restored to its former glory.

However, Claire’s god father had taken all of their jobs and even Director Tsui couldn’t help them. Ben and Irene sneered at them and said Kate and Kenneth weren’t experienced enough. Irene was the woman that Ben was seeing behind Celine’s back. Gosh, I feel sorry for the poor child. It would be horrible to have a dad like Ben.
Claire helped by asking Director Tsui to come and listen to Kenneth and Kate before deciding who to use. He agreed, but he didn’t seem satisfied with Kate and Kenneth and yelled out ‘CUT!’ a lot of times. He said that they didn’t have the right ‘feel’.



Lau Dan taught them that Director Tsui actually just wanted naturalism, not for them to know the script off by heart. The second time, he was very happy and agreed to let them do the voiceovers for his new movie.



Herbert had taken Elaine to a poolside party, but only so he could prove to his girlfriend that there was nothing going on between them. They made her change into a bikini and pulled her to the edge of the pool. Then Herbert’s girlfriend ‘Fion’ pushed her into the water.

Elaine asked why he had to ‘play’ her like that and he could have told her if he didn’t like her.
Herbert: I think it was you that played me first. Stop trying to act pitiful. Kiki told me everything. From day one, you just wanted my money. AND in Japan, just as I started being nicer to you, you acted all high-class. You try to play me? Its not that easy. Its always me playing people, no one can play me!



Kenneth came to Kate’s house and told Kate’s dad that they were going out. Kate’s dad sounded really happy and Kenneth promised Kate that he would go and tell Claire that he didn’t return her feelings. At that moment, Kate’s dad received a call that Elaine was in trouble. Kate slowly climbed up the ladder to her while Elaine told her that now Herbert will never believe that she does like him.

Turns out she was never planning to commit suicide; she only wanted to calm down. As they both went back down together, Elaine lost her footing and slipped. Kate sacrificed herself and fell down after pushing Elaine back up. Kate fell onto her ear that had the hearing aid. She couldn’t hear when Kenneth told her he ears were bleeding...

Speech of Silence~Episode 14

When Kate came back after talking on the phone, she saw the headphones lying on the chair. She picked it up, and heard Kenneth say the exact same things that she had said before. With their hands clasping each other’s ears, they kissed!



To get revenge on Queenie, Elaine sent pictures of her and Herbert to other people. When Herbert found out, he decided to replace Queenie for the advertisement in Japan.

Kate and Kenneth did voiceovers together for the couple in Condor Heroes. So sweet!
Kate asked Kenneth why he took her to Fei Oar San.
Kenneth: Couples have to go to places with the right atmosphere for 拍拖!
Kate: Who is拍拖 with you?
Kenneth: We are holding hands. That doesn’t count as拍拖? Wah, then you very ‘sit dai ah’
Kate: Yes, very! [runs off]



In Japan, the two other guys pretend to be drunk so that Elaine is left alone with Herbert, who tries to make a move on her. But Elaine thinks back to when Kate told her love that is gained by sacrificing the body will never last, and pushed him away.



Chris overheard the manager Ah Joe saying that Kary had ‘danced her way into Herbert’s room’ that night in Japan. He got really angry. He called Elaine a 狐狸精 in front of everybody.
Elaine: What are you so crazy about?
Chris: Yes, I really am crazy. So crazy that I like a woman that only likes money. I am even stupid enough to help you get revenge on Kiki when you were just using me to get close to Herbert! Bringing takeaway and giving up your body!
Elaine: With which eye did you see my sacrifice my body?!
Chris: Who are you trying to lie to? Everyone knows you went to Japan to film an advertisement... it was to sleep with Herbert!
Elaine: What are you talking about?! [Slaps him]



Claire had walked around all of Hong Kong’s record shops and finally found Kenneth’s favourite song ‘Yesterday Once More.’ However, Kate had paid double the price and bought it in case. Kate wondered why Claire wanted it so much. Claire said she had wanted to give it to Kenneth.

Claire: Did you know, Kate had bought the record for her boyfriend?
Kenneth: Oh really, then w can’t argue with that!
Kate: What boyfriend? It’s just a normal friend.



Kate was sulking and didn’t want to give the record to Kenneth.
Kenneth: You don’t think there’s something going on between me and 娜姐 do you?
Kate: If I hadn’t of gone back, I wouldn’t know that someone cared about you so much.
[Kenneth takes a newspaper and curls it into a megaphone.
Kenneth: Everybody, this lovely, pretty girl here is my one and only girlfriend. I want to tell everyone, don’t make a move on her, or else I will ‘fight you to death!’
Here, in front of everyone, I swear I only like you and will only love you, no on else.

Kenneth: At this time in romantic movies, couples will, kiss for 3 minutes.
[Kate turns around and whacks him on the head saying ‘Ah Cha!’
Kenneth: Wah! I wanted akiss, not a whack!
Kate: I have been filming a martial arts movie. Every time they make a move they say ‘Ah Cha’
Kenneth: Lately I have been filming a porn movie. Every time they make a move they- [Kate runs off screaming]



When they get back to the voiceover, a disaster is awaiting them. The storey above the studio had a fire and the water had soaked everything in the studio as well...

Speech of Silence~Episode 13

Kate saw a really pretty necklace which played her favourite song ‘Yesterday Once more’ by the Carpenters. But it was $2800! The shop owner said to Kenneth ‘If your girlfriend likes it, buy it for her.’

Kate saw Matthew with his girlfriend and went up to say hi, and Kenneth pretended that he was her boyfriend. Kate got mad and said that it was she that had rejected Matthew because she doesn’t like not being treated like a normal person.



To cheer Kate up, Kenneth bought the necklace for her. When he put it on for her, his shirt got caught in her scarf and they looked shyly (not to mention awkwardly too!) at each other.



Queenie betrayed Elaine because she ‘stole’ Herbert from her. She even stole the job of the advertisement that Elaine was chosen to do. Chris was teasing Elaine when she bumped into him, but seeing her cry, he let her put her head on his shoulder. To comfort her, he and said that if she really was not happy about it, he could play a prank on Queenie for her. Aah sweet revenge!



小生 pretended to do voiceover for a little child with his mum at Claire’s b’day party at the studio.
小生: Ma咪, don’t leave me behind. Once you walk away, Cheung叔叔 will send me to boarding school (Canada).Then you can’t see me and you’ll forget me.
Ma咪: Sing Jai, Mummy doesn’t want to leave you either. But some things, even I can’t control.
小生: You’re lying. Even now, you still make me call you Auntie in front of other people. You don’t even want to be my mum. Don’t marry Cheung叔叔. I don’t want to lose my mummy.

When小生 spilt M&Ms floor, making , Cheung 哥 slip and his wig falls off, , Cheung 哥 runs after him, grabs him on the collar and starts hitting him. 小生 cries out ‘Mummy, save me!’ and Claire can’t stand it anymore. She pushes Cheung 哥 away and says ‘Stop hitting my son!’



Kenneth was really angry that Herbert had been using him to find evidence of Eileen accepting money from a company that wanted to work with the noodle factory.

While Kenneth was listening to some sounds he had recorded and couldn’t hear her, Kate told him how she felt about him.
Kate: ‘Being with you, there isn’t any stress. I can say anything I want to and not have to be scared how you will see me. If it is possible, I would really like to always be with you. Is that really crazy? Lucky you can’t hear me. Otherwise, I would die of embarrassment! I have kept these words inside of me for a long time. I was too scared to tell you. Maybe because right now you can’t hear me, I have the courage to say this out loud.’



Aww mega-cringe! She didn’t realize that Kenneth was listening the whole time!

Forensic Heroes II~Episode 15

I thought Yoyo was going to die, when I watched this, but she finds the strength to whack him with her shopping bag. Still, he manages to push her against the wall. He grabs her head and keeps on hitting it against the wall. Luckily, a man walks past and the ‘murderer’ runs off. At the crime scene and from Yoyo, they found a purple material and pieces of hair that didn’t belong to Yoyo or the victim, Lee Mei Kei. The victim was actually both deaf and mute, which is why she didn’t scream for help.

Yoyo was frustrated that she couldn’t remember anything form that night. Charmaine said that it was OK as she’s a human, not a video recorder. They decided to go back to the crime scene and reenact what had happened. She remembered grabbing onto the murderer’s hand and that on his right hand, between his thumb and index finger, there was a lump. Charmaine also found out that ‘you people’ meant people who are disabled.



After examining the scars caused by the belt on both Wong Miu Shang and Yoyo’s body, Frankie discovered that it was the same belt that was used to injure both of them. Serial killer!

When Charmaine and Kevin were helping an old lady across the road, they found out that one of their favourite bands form England are playing in Hong Kong and decided to go together.

Macy gave Matthew a black bead necklace that is good for relieving stress. Seeing that she has one too, Matthew thinks that she likes him, but she gives them to everyone!



Raymond remembered that Lee Mei Kei had been wearing a watch that was the same as her hairdresser, Ricky’s. Also, Ricky has a lump between his thumb and index finger as well. However, he had an alibi.

As they were going home in Frankie’s car, Frankie and Charmaine were discussing who had put the tables, chairs and plant on the balcony. Turns out Charmaine had put the chairs there, and Frankie had put the plant.

Knowing that Charmaine really liked a type of incense called Vetiver, Kevin especially ordered it for her from England! As Charmaine walked out of a shop selling incense, a man grabbed her handbag. Haha, he doesn’t know who he’s messing with, stealing a policewoman’s handbag!



Charmaine rummaged through her bag and found that her pen was missing. Frankie found her on the balcony and told her that if she told him everything, she might feel better. In England, she had met the love of her life, Jason. He had given her the pen hoping she would sign her name on the day of their wedding using that pen and record all their happy stories down using that pen.

However, on her wedding day, just as Jason was about to sign his name, a man that was obsessively in love with Charmaine shot him. He then killed himself after Charmaine said she didn’t like him. I feel so sorry for her... that was how she got the name ‘掃把星’.

When Frankie had cheered her up and comforted her, she smiled.
Frankie: That’s good, when you smile; your whole person is beautiful again.



Frankie, when picking up something of his own, found Charmaine’s pen in his car.
When he gave it to Charmaine, he saw Kevin coming and said: Oh, before when you were asking me which café was good, you meant you are taking Belle?’

Forensic Heroes II~Episode 14

Yes, I haven’t totally stopped doing FHII summaries as I hate to leave things half done, but I’ll probably do it in my spare time because SOS is now my first preference.

When Kevin and Charmaine met in a bookstore and started talking about Bath, the city of romance, she told him that she was once going to have a very happy wedding there. Kevin looked at her and you could tell he was starting to have feelings for her.



*New Case
A girl’s body was found in a falling apart house in the forest. She was bruised all over and there was blood smeared on the walls. Frankie said that she had probably been brutally tortured to death. Now that’s what I’m looking for. A psycho murderer. Who kills a crippled girl. This better be good.

They concluded that there had been only one murderer as she had been dragged in. If there were two, there wouldn’t have been skid marks on her shoes and the floor. Also, she had been unconscious because the drag marks were very straight, showing no signs of movement or struggle. After examining her body some more, Frankie found that her body had lots of bruises caused by whipping with a belt. This was how she was killed...she had been whipped to death. Talk about slow and painful death.

On her clothes and wheelchair, there was powder that is used for praying in temples. This couldn’t have been left behind by the girl Wong Miu Shang because she was a Christian and went to church.



Bobby asked Yoyo if she would go on his London bus, as in proposing to her!!!
Bobby: ‘You’d better say yes soon, my legs are feeling numb.’ Just then the dads burst in and Bobby’s dad says he had to put more feeling into it and demonstrates. Yoyo finally nods and Bobby shoos the dads out for private alone time.

At a temple nearby to where they had discovered the girl’s body, Vivien and Matthew saw the man that had been arguing with her the day she died. He said that he had only kicked her wheelchair and then gone home. He had tried to cover up the truth because they didn’t want the police going up to his flat as there were lots of bottles of cough medicine there. His son had been consuming large doses of the medicine and was selling it.



As Yoyo is heading back to Bobby’s house, she sees a man harassing a girl. When she finished talking to Bobby, however, the two of them are nowhere in sight, with only the girl’s shoes left behind. She wanders into the alleyway after hearing a noise. The girl is slumped against the wall, unconscious, possibly dead, as there is a long trail of blood all down the wall leading to her head. As she crouches down to look at the girl, a man appears behind her and tries to strangle her. He says: ‘You people, 唔死都無用呀!

Speech of Silence~Episode 12

[Episode 11 summary is below dis post]

When Kate told Kenneth he said she was crazy. Her mum had planned everything to get Kate to go to America with her. However, she said that even if she was a normal person that she didn’t know, she would still try to help them.



Irene overheard Kenneth telling Kate that an operation was harmful to the body and that it was TWO lives that was being risked. Irene thought that Kate was pregnant!
When she cleared it up with everyone else, they said that she shouldn’t trust Mary because if she really treated Kate like her daughter, then she wouldn’t make her take such a big risk.



Aww this is so touching I even cried a bit. Kate’s dad said he wasn’t mad at Kate for lying to him. He was mad at himself. When Kate had risked her whole life and become deaf to save the rest of the family, her dad had vowed that she would never let anything bad happen to her again. Now, he feels useless coz he can’t do anything about it and he’s really scared that something will happen to Kate.



Next day, just before they left, Mary received a call. Kate’s kidney wasn’t appropriate for her brother’s body after all. What the?! So all of that was for nothing??? Kenneth said that if they put a clip about Peter’s illness on the net, then people might volunteer to help him. Herbert paid for the clip to be broadcasted on television. He even put up a notice saying that if you have a suitable kidney, then you get one month paid leave and get to travel to America first class!

Finally, before Mary left, someone form America called to say they were willing to donate their kidneys! Kenneth saw his dad drop the takeaway basket and hurt his back, and he looked really worried, but still drove on. On their way back from the airport, they saw the car that had nearly hit Mary and Kate. The driver apologised and said that it was an accident, meaning Mary didn’t really hire him.



When carrying something to a shop, Lau Dan fell down the stairs just as Kenneth was walking past. He tripped and fell down. Ah this I the overrated ‘Oh no, DAD are you OK?’ bit. Lau Dan says that the tape that the two of them had recorded together had broken, but Kenneth said, that doesn’t matter, but do you remember what you promised me? Lau Dan said he did. He remembered that he had promised to protect him for his whole life. HAPPY’NESS! JOY! CELEBRATION... FINALLY!
