The doctor tells Lin that the patient should be stable. Lin asks the doctor not to remove the golden needle, but the doctor refuses, saying that he would have to pay a very large price for it. Lin tells the doctor that he has failed in his first mission to open the underworld, but he will not give up. He says that he saw a "flash of light" and that the woman was moving when he saw her five minutes later. He wants the doctor to teach him the technique of "carrying soul" with the needle. The doctor says he cannot because it is against the law. Lin says he will set the doctor up with his daughter's friend in college.
