Death Investigation Extension Episode 25 Alternate Ending

Hello! DIE ended its run in HK on Friday night with an alternate ending that was filmed specially. The audience got to vote for an ending with they preferred which is for Roger to die or live in the series. And the result was... He got to live! But it was kinda expected actually. Haha. Nobody wanted him to die. Okie, so here are some screencaps for the alternate ending. =)
___________________________________________________

The main cast of DIE gather after the scene where Roger dies in the hospital. They announce the results of the voting and Roger gets to live and everybody cheers! Although it is really expected as people would normally prefer a happy ending since this series is a comedy.
__________________________________________________

There were some other series that also had alternate endings like La Femme Desperado & To Catch The Uncatcable. One ending for LFD was for Raymond Lam & Melissa Ng to be together & the other was for them to be seperated. As for TCTU, I think Dayo Wong died in one version but he didn't in the other. Please correct me if I'm wrong as I didn't watch the latter. =p

Nancy then asks Kenneth to volunteer him to sacrifice his life so that Sonija & Roger can be together and that he would meet Queenie when he's down there. Haha. Kitty soons appears and tells them that she can help "transport" Kenneth & the D.I.E team back in time to stop the car from knocking Roger down.

Kenneth & the DIE team are transported back to stop the driver who was heading off to Shenzhen to pirate some videos from the TV Station. They spot the car outside the station. Hmm. I haven't been to TVB City before but is that it in the background of Yiu Sze Pin Cheung? Haha.. Anyway, the scene shows special guest star Power Chan as a stuttering staff of the station carrying some film reels. Power looks so funny in here with his thick frame specs and 3 toothpicks in his mouth.

While they were getting Power to admit he is stealing the reels, another surprise guest star sits in the car and drives away!
___________________________________________________
Yup! It's Bobby Au Yeung! I so didn't expect him to be in this alternate ending. Haha. And he plays his Dicey Business character, Chai Foon Cheung! I liked that series very much so I was very excited that they got one of the main characters back to guest star! Bobby with his large tummy and sandals brings back so much memories. =)
___________________________________________________
So the team follows Bobby to a restaurant where they finally realised he was the driver who knocked Roger down after "Man- Wah Jie" sends them the photo. I forgot who the actress is- dumb me. Can anyone tell me who is she please?
Anyway, "Siu Feng Jie" sees ketchup on Bobby's lips and mistakes it for blood and faints on the floor.
___________________________________________________
The team then deploys other tactic to stop Bobby from heading to the accident area.

"Siu Feng Jie" tells Bobby that his son got admitted in the hospital?? Hmm.. Is that some connection with Dicey Business where some people were spectaculating that the little child shown at the end of the final episode was Bobby's & Jessica's child? Hmm.. Just a little guess of mine..

Derek reprises his role as CC Wong from War of In- Laws II but with a "Feng Shui" master feel. He tells Bobby that his family is in trouble and he could help him ward of the evilness. Bobby walks off saying that his family is fine and asks if Derek is gay. His actions and looks so remind me of CC!
___________________________________________________

The team tries to stop Bobby's car from going to the accident scene and Derek tries to stop the car by using his body but Kitty saves his life in time. Suddenly, Bobby stops the car and walks back to give himself up to the police.

You realise that Kenneth actually disappears from this scene. Dunno where he went too though. It was so weird that Bobby just walks back suddenly and gives him up saying he admires them for giving up their lives to save their buddy. It was just too random?? Anyway, they end off the scene with another very random Victory sign. -.-'
___________________________________________________

The scene shifts back to Roger & Sonija in the hospital and by now, Sonija had already given birth to her baby and Roger is helping her to burp the baby. Sonija teaches the baby how to salute when Kitty arrives. She tells the couple that their curse had been removed with the birth of the baby. Sonija then asks why the baby was so huge and already had so much hair on his head and Kitty admits to feeding the baby a bowl of rice before it was born?? What's up with all the random answers in this ending? -.-'

Anyway, just wanted to say that the baby is really so cute! Could he be Roger's son, Brad by any chance?
Anyway, was just wondering whether it was a blunder or they purposely changed the gender of the baby for this alternate ending? In the ending where Roger dies, the baby was a girl and in this ending, it was a boy. I think the boy's cuter anyway! =p
___________________________________________________

The scene then shifts back to the DIE office where Margie tells Roger that it is no wonder after his son is born that he is even more fortunate than Ah Wang. Haha. It's Roger's character in both Life Made Simple & Square Pegs.
___________________________________________________
The casts then thank the audience for their support for giving this series such high ratings and sings a song to celebrate before ending the scene.
___________________________________________________

Okie, now for my thoughts on this alternate ending. I thought it was quite funny yet quite dumb as the series doesn't flow like a series anymore but like a variety program. The use of Power Chan & Bobby Au Yeung as guests stars was quite surprising and entertaining. However, I was just a little disappointed with the script and the lines of the casts. It was very rushed work and the story just don't flow well especially the part why Bobby decided to give himself up and the part about feeding Roger's son a bowl of rice before he was born. Overall, it was just a very fun to watch ending but don't take it too seriously.
