PETER: I've replaced the old battery with a new one. There shouldn't be any problem.
INT. SITTING ROOM - DAY (Three days ago)
Peter and his WIFE return with baggage. Having settled down, the maid passes the car key fob to Peter.

PETER (V.O.): This Andy's voice is new to me. But he alerts me to use the mechanical key to unlock the Mercedes.
Returning from the car park with a name card in hand, Peter makes a call.
PETER (To phone): Philip, the car key fobs you made for me two years ago have malfunctioned...
PHILIP (From phone): Can it be caused by the dead battery of your car? Press the hazard light button and see if there's any flash.
Later, we see Peter pressing the hazard light button, but nothing happens.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): All I need do is to replace the car's battery. There shouldn't be any problem with the key fobs.
Pausing.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): But why did the car's battery die suddenly?

Pausing.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): The process of bringing something back to life or restoring to its former state is full of challenge that needs to be resolved.
