SAI WAN, 15 YEARS AGO

Oi? When your ma and pa pay up, you'll see 'em again.Eh?

- Geez! What the heck?! Hey?! - I don't believe this!

- They hit someone! - They got hit!

- He looks hurt... - Should we call the cops?

How did it happen?

What happened?

What's your name?!

Peter!

What?!

Peter!

What's this?

What are you on about...?

I wasn't asking you! What's this?

I'm human! What's with you?!

Hey, he's my man!

He's your man?

Then what am I?

My ex!

Your ex?!

I don't believe it!

Are you nuts?! Kissing some rando now?!

How am I kissing some rando?

Like I said, he's my man! You just don't believe me!

Why don't you ever believe anything I tell you?

Why...?!

C'mon!

What's wrong? Your ma show up?

This way! This way!

Where are you going?

To get a room! Where else?!

So she meant a karaoke room.

Why even try to explain?

Forever's nothing short of insane...

As the night passes by, the sparks are all gone.

To give so much in this life is in vain.

Hey?! Why aren't you singing?!

I still don't even know your name.

- Our love already came... - Halfway!

Deep down I know love will bring dismay...

I hope that you will not force me to stay.

It's June.

What's that?

My name's June.

- It all makes sense to me - - - ...clear as day

- Smiling as we split, may I wake up... - Alone!

- I will recall - - - ...our time with a groan

Your eyepatch was so sick!

- Let's go...! - Why?!

- You said you don't like singing! - No!

- No?! Then let's go! - Hey, hey, hey?!

- We haven't paid! - We'll pay outside! C'mon, let's go!

- Hey? - Hurry!

- Why don't I take you home? - No, why don't I?

C'mon.

Why aren't there any pics of you?

I don't like having my picture taken.

Oh yeah, how come you always gotta run away all of a sudden?

I'm scared.

Scared of what?

You wouldn't bloody believe me if I told you.

How do you know if you don't tell me?

You don't drink?

I only drink when I'm happy.

Then can you be happy for me?

People drink when they're down. You drink when you're happy.

What a massive weirdo!

Nah...I've got loads of friends who only drink when they're happy.

That Dickie's a total jerk! He never believes me!

If two people don't believe one another, what's the point of staying together?!

I believe you! I do! I'll believe anything you say.

You're not my boyfriend so what's the point...?!

That's true...

What's the point of believing you?

I believed Coco and me were forever, but I still got dumped all the same.

Why are you talking about yourself and not comforting me?!

Am I...am I comforting you now, or are you comforting me?!

Are you wack?! Seeing you first thing in the morning...

You're the one that's wack.

Hey, where's June?!

She bailed! What were you two doing?

We... we were in the throes of passion! What do you think we were doing?

Never done it before?!

Not like that I haven't.

That's some mess you made. Go see for yourself.

Let's go, then.

Oi?! Wait, wait, wait, wait!

What's up? Short some cash?

How much you missing?

Fifty.

Fifty grand?

Fifty bucks!

Whoa... That's a lot. Should we call the cops?

Hmm? Why didn't she have eyes for that, though?

How should I know?!

Your girl a debt collector?! What's with the red paint?

Why--

Whoa! It's your girl!

Pops?!

Pops!

Your old man?!

Careful, careful!

I thought your old man's in a home. Why's he--

How should I know?! Ask him!

You okay, Pops?

I heard senile dementia's a massive pain. Looks like it's true.

I...am not senile!

Then why'd you show up unannounced, Pops?!

I am not... senile, alright?

Does your old man have senility or insanity?

I already told you, I ain't senile! That thing messed with me!

Uncle, what messed with you?

A ghost.

Ah! Yeah, yeah, yeah...

- It was a ghost, a ghost... - You don't believe me?

Why do you keep looking at me?! He's your son, Uncle!

You don't believe me?

I do. Your face is so scary.

I already told you, I ain't senile!

I got messed with by that ghost!

- Hey, hands... Hey, hands off, Pops! - My nose is coming off!

- No! Mouth off...! - Hey, mouth off.okay?!

My nose...! My nose...!

Pops?! Pops?!

This isn't actually the first time Lo Kit's claimed to be bothered by ghosts.

Ghosts?

Is the nursing home haunted?

It's nobody visiting them. They start imagining things!

When you have the time, come visit him more often.

Ah, excuse me! I must be off.

- Goodbye. - I'll see you out.

- Thank you, Nurse Wong. - Thank you.

- Yo, Peter. - Hey, Simon.

- Sorry about my old man... - Oh, forget it! It's all good.

She with you?

Papa. Mama.Uncle

It's Tsui-Yee... You seriously don't recognise her?!

Uncle's busy so it's been a while

That's true... Since Ma died, he doesn't come over much.

You're a real piece of work. You don't recognise your pretty niece?

Not really! Uncle comes over every New Year's.

There was just last year. And the year before...

and the year before that...

No, Tsui-Yee isn't much of a homebody so Uncle never sees her...

Wong-Choi...?

I told you to call me 'Peter'!

You got the day off?

Yeah...!

How come as a grown man, you still mumble when you speak...?!

I wanna eat an apple so bad...

Since when did you eat apples...?!

Your ma says apples are good for you... so I'll have one...!

Doesn't look like he'll eat it. Don't let it go to waste.

How many times have I told you... you can't have what you know ain't yours!

Ah geez, you'll regret it for the rest of your life, y'know...?!

I know, I know, I know!

Ah... Doesn't apply to me, though.

I'm almost at the end of the road, anyway...

Turns out apples really ain't half bad...

I'll buy you more apples from now on, then.

Your ma agreeing to marry me... it really made me so happy.

Back then, the two of us... rented out the same flat.

She lived in the front room... I lived in the end room.

Back then it was common for a single flat

to be divided up into individual rooms for let, y'know...?

Your ma was beautiful...

and such a lovely person...

June?

Excuse me...

is there a nurse named June at this hospital?

This is such a big hospital, I wouldn't know every nurse, would I?

Hey?!

You're still not done?!

Almost there.

Peter's the most dedicated of all our stylists!

Yeah, yeah. He's dedicated to his craft.

You don't have to be so dedicated! He's just a kid.

Just do whatever so he's good for school...!

Hey? Hey, hey, hey?!

Even if you're just doing whatever, you gotta make him so ugly...?!

Oh, that cut is in this year!

Right on...! This is called the Hanging Bowl.

Even I've booked Peter to give me one. Peter, fit me in, okay?!

Sure, sure, sure!

Well...Fine, fine! Whatever! Please get a move on, I'm in a hurry.

Oi, here's some water--

B-b-bleeding...

Just a bit more to go.

Ah, your comic... it's pretty great, huh?

It's great when they get shot and covered in blood.

Oh, so you like when they're covered in blood?

Blood!

Cool!

Awesome!

Uh... Madam?

There's a little...

Hey?! Where you going...?!

You came all the way here! Why are you leaving?!

I got fired, I'm not in the mood...!

Geez, Carmen found you a job already.

The interview's in a couple of days. What's wrong?

You're outta love and outta work, is all...!

Sucks to be you, though.

You got paid in advance, don't even get severance.

Here's an idea. Rent a room, buy some charcoal.

Kill yourself, end it all.

As if I'd die before you...!

- You said it...! - Let's get going, then...!

Yo! What took you so long?! We're dying here!

- Come meet the others. - Dying how...?

Candy! You know her. Piggy.

- June! - Hello.

Alright, I'm warning you： Bela Vista's famously haunted.

Don't come if you're chicken.

Take care of yourself first! This is kids'stuff for us!

Then let's go!

- Is that for real? - Yeah, it's true

Oi?! Didn't you say you were leaving?!

Nope. When'd I say that?

Ugh... Going back on your word. You're exactly like those politicians.

HOLIDAY VILLAGE

- Move! Move! Move! Move! - We're going in!

Target's up ahead! Move!

Does anyone actually know why this place is so haunted?

The story goes...

a few years ago, a girl had a fight with her boyfriend.

The girl came here...

called him and said she was gonna kill herself.

She only wanted to scare him.

She didn't think she was actually gonna die.

She believed the guy would come look for her,

so she slit her wrists just a little.

Turned out. the guy thought she was joking.

He ignored her.

So that's how she died?

I hear that in the house she slit her wrists,

there's constant reports of people seeing her!

The owner's switched all the house numbers around

so he can keep renting the place out.

Geez! You gotta act that scared...?!

They say...

if you tell a ghost story that's true, the thing will appear--

What are you on about...?!

(Behind you. It's behind you.)

So scary!

Scare me, will ya?!

Dummy!

Pfft! You're always trying to scare us.

Hey?! Why don't we go swimming?

- Like now? - Then when? Next year?

Oi, changing already?! We didn't bring our swimsuits!

Where are they going?

To get changed C'mon, all together...!

- You strip first! - You're good as is!

- I'll come with, it's dark out! - Nah... I'm stripping!

I'm missing you...

I think of then.

Those good old days...

That warmth again.

Who knew on this day I can't see you...?

Who knew in this life our love is through...?

Oi!

Watch where you're going...!

Got any tissues?

I don't have any either...

I'll take a look in the toilet.

That time of the month?

That time to take a dump...!

What the hell?! There's no tissues in the toilet.

I have some.

They're not for her, they're for me...!

You're finally smiling?

Why would I smile for no reason?

I took 50 bucks off you for a cab last time.

I'm paying you back.

I'm not a prude!

I just don't take these things lightly!

What I'm trying to say is, I... I'm not into one-night stands

I'm not uptight or anything!

It's just not something I'm used to...

But if you're used to this stuff, just pretend I didn't say anything

Oh, not that I'm saying you're easy!

Don't look at me like that, I...

I can't help but kiss you...

I'm missing you...

I think of then.

Those good old days...

That warmth again.

Who knew on this day...

Piggy?

...see you.

Who knew in this life our love is through?

I'm missing you...

- I dream-- - Piggy?

What is it?

Are you alright?

I'm fine! What is it?

Hey?

- We should go. - Go?

It's best if we go.

What are you doing there?

It's best not to look.

Hey, why are you stabbing your thigh?!

Get lost!

That's not Piggy... She's been possessed by something.

Possessed?

Hey, where are you going?! You've lost a lot of blood!

It's you...?

What took you so long?!

What took me? No, we...we came here together.

I know that I'm stubborn.

I know that I'm bossy!

But you still care about me, right?!

Y-yeah!

I thought if I said I was gonna kill myself,

you'd drop everything and come find me.

But you thought I was joking?!

I didn't really wanna die!

Do you know how long I've waited for you?!

Sorry...

Sorry...?

You're saying sorry to me?!

You're never sorry to anyone!

Saying sorry isn't a big deal, is it?

No problem if I say it a few more times, yeah?

Sorry.Sorry.Sorry.Sorry.Sorry.

Then this means... you still care about me!

I've finally waited for you.

Hey?!

Huh?!

What a sneaky bastard. He's got pretty bad taste, though.

Hey, hey?!

Gone... It's gone.

Cut the crap, let's get her inside first.

Oi, have a soft drink!

- Anyone else want one? - Me!

I really like playing games and drinking and stuff...

but I don't like mixing my personal life with my work.

- So you avoided me at the hospital. - I was avoiding Mrs Yeung.

She came back to visit Third Granny.

Who's Mrs Yeung?

Mrs Yeung's the one who used to be in the bed next to Third Granny's.

Then why avoid her?

She's already dead...

She used to get on really well with Third Granny.

Every time they came back, I'd leave the lights on.

Otherwise, they'd get lost, y'know?

So...how do you know Mrs Yeung comes back to visit...

- Third Granny. - Right, Third Granny. How do you know?

You can see ghosts?!

Through one eye.

So only my left eye sees ghosts.

You don't believe me?

It's not that I don't believe you... I... I've just never seen one.

Aren't you scared always seeing them?

Of course, I am! Why wouldn't I be?!

Why do you think I'm always in shades? It's because I'm scared I'll see them...

Here...I've customised the left side.

Oh yeah.

When I was little, I was always seeing that spooky stuff.

Luckily, a mystic drew a talisman for me and I stopped seeing them.

However...the talisman's powers are starting to wane.

Then just go to the mystic again!

No bloody shit, but I gotta find him first.

Give me my back my shades.

What's going on?

There's one behind me.

No way...!

The truth is...

there's always bound to be one nearby.

I...

I can go up by myself. You don't have to come.

- I really don't have to? - It's fine.

So will we see each other again?

We'll see.

Bye-bye!

FRESHLY ARRIVED NORTHERN LADIES, $380

I'm missing you...

I think of then.

Catch!

C'mon! Faster!

Bee? Bee...?!

Geez, don't keep playing...! You'll get all sweaty.

It's dinnertime. Say bye to miss.

Bye-bye...!

Bye-bye, bye-bye!

So you really like kids?

You really like being late?

- No, I... - I was joking!

What are we eating?

Uh... Japanese!

I heard about this sweet place.

I wanna have hotpot, though.

Hotpot...?

Ah! There's a good joint in Tsim Sha Tsui. It's pretty sweet.

I know an even sweeter joint. I'll lead the way.

C'mon.

How are any of the hotpot joints as good as mine?

How will we finish all this food?

We'll just have to take it slow.

Here... These should be good to eat already.

- Now some beef... - Thanks.

Why aren't you eating?

Oh! Eating... I'm eating!

I'm eating...

Don't stare at me like that and say you're gonna eat.

Oh! That's not what I'm doing!

Don't get me wrong, I'm not that kinda guy...

Your hair... it's got a good texture to it.

Why don't I cut it for you?

Okay.

That's funky. Does it hurt?

It's a birthmark, why would it hurt?

Your birthmark's pretty unique. What is it?

It's a tattoo.

A tattoo? Why'd you get a letter C?

If I tell you, you can't laugh, okay?

It was originally gonna be an eagle.

When the guy was doing the beak, I couldn't deal with the pain.I fainted.

It's not a letter C.

It's... the curve in an eagle's beak.

Is your name really 'Wong-Choi'?

Yeah...

My old man came up with it. I don't know why he...

What... what a huge prank!

How could he give his own son a dog's name? Really...

No, I think it's pretty unique and pretty memorable.

My big bro's name is even more memorable.

What is it?

He's called Lo Wong-Tat.

'Rwanda'!

This is so much fun! I haven't flown a kite in ages!

You like this? Cool, we'll do it every week.Sound good?

Yeah!

They say... if you're truly in love with someone,

loving them is like flying a kite.

No matter how high and far they fly,

just pull down on the string,

and they'll come back to your side!

Hey... Fly, fly, fly, fly!

Why don't you call me 'Siu-Kam' from now on?

Alright, Siu-Kam.

This is for you.

For me?

I'll put it on for you.

Peter...?

Peter?

The hell's wrong with you?!

Wailing like a ghost in the dead of night...

It's cos it's the dead of night,

I'm trying not to make a ruckus so I don't wake anyone up...

Oh yeah--

Geez... Why are you staring at me all quiet and stuff?

Whoa, what's with you? You're a total wreck.

Your boyfriend keeping you up at night?

You're wack...

You gotta take care of yourself...!

Oh yeah...Hey, Simon?

Oh yeah!

I can't spot you this month. I'm saving for a phone.

That's my bit. What did you want?

Nothing!

Night, then.

I played here all the time when I was little

I loved going on the roundabout and the see-saw the most.

It's all gone now.

This swing is all that's left.

If it's not out with the old, how can it be in with the new?

But what's come before... is especially worth cherishing.

You seem a bit down today.

No.

Chungy?!

Chungy...!

I'm wanna play. I'm playing, too!

Two, three, traffic light! Cross the road when it's right!

Two, three, traffic light! Cross the road when it's right!

One, two, three, traffic light! Cross the road when it's right!

One, two, three, traffic light...!

Two, three, traffic light! Cross the road when it's right!

One, two, three, traffic light! Cross the road when it's right!

Come and take a photo!

- Over here! Right... - Stand back, stand back!

- Big Bro Petey, come here! - One, two...

- Three...! - Oh, back, back! Back a bit! Back a bit!

Quickly! OK!

One, two, three, yeah...!

OK, smile! One, two, three...

One more, one more!

Three...

Oh yeah, why haven't I seen you in shades lately?

Didn't you say seeing those things scare you and the shades block them out?

I mean, I thought this place would be crawling with them.

You're not scared?

What's wrong?!

A good snake doesn't block the road! We're just visiting a friend!

C'mon, c'mon, c'mon!

Did you get bitten?!

Uh... No.

You've got a knack for catching snakes.

It's my first time.

Doesn't your family run a snake restaurant?

Yeah...but I'm seriously scared of snakes

I'm really scared of them...

Thank you.

OPERATION IN PROGRESS, PLEASE WAIT...

CURRENT BALANCE IS $9.72

Why don't I treat you this time?

Don't worry! You'll get that job tomorrow for sure.

Okay?

Look at him.That's what he did.

Let me have a look!

- At what? I look like a retard. - Nah... It's not bad at all!

I'll fix it up for you!

I'm sorry, Mr Lo. You're not a fit for our salon.

If it's not your style, I can change it!

Hmm...Wong-Choi?!

- Uncle Chan! - Ah...You doing well?

- I'm pretty good. - lt's been a while! Eh?

Oh yeah, where's the snake restaurant? Snake restaurant?!

You pulling my leg...?!

Your older brother turned it into a snack bar a few years back...!

Hurry up! We're late for school! Here, get going!

Aren't you getting food?

Coming, coming!

- A box each? - Yeah. In separate bags.

- Separate bags! - Yeah, got it.

- Oi fatty, where's your sister? - She's at school.

- Oi? Study hard! - Thank you!

Dad, what-- What are you doing here?

So? Are you not doing too well?

I'm fine... I'm just asking why you're--

Geez, how come as a grown man, you still mumble when you speak...?

I'm asking if you're not doing too well...!

I'm fine!

I've always told you that you gotta stand upright and sit upright.

Admit when you're not right and take a beating right.

I'm not someone who's achieved a lot.

I didn't have much of an education. Not quite sure how to raise you right.

But no matter what happens, no matter what, I'll always support you!

If you ever lie to me though, it'll break my heart like nothing else.

Your dad knows you like eating Toblerone. I bought it for you today especially.

Dad...

Dad...

Hello?

We appreciate all your hard work. Let's eat.

Hey...I can stuff myself dead!

Let's eat.

Oi?! What- Why are you here?!

Why are you-- Why are you here?

I'm here for tea, of course.

What's with you?

There's something really terrifying following me.

- I'm here, don't be scared-- - I gotta go!

Hey, Siu-Kam?! Siu Kam?!

Hey, there's something I'm not sure if I should tell you or not.

What is it...?!

When I visited your dad on the night before he died,

I saw a nurse just intently staring at him.

Your dad also intently stared back at her.

What's wrong with that?

What's wrong is this lasted five minutes, neither of them making a peep!

During these five minutes, I kept trying to talk to them,

but it was like they couldn't hear me, no response at all.

Do you remember the nurse's face?

Of course! I saw her just now. It was your friend!

Seeing her reminded me of all this.

Hmm... How bizarre...

I have to use the bathroom.

Hi!

The French toast here is so tasty. I didn't have it with you last time.

Really?

Mmm... It's really yum.

Yesterday at the restaurant... seemed like you were in a real hurry.

Yes...

So why did you stare at my dad for five minutes at the hospital?

You knew my dad?

Who told you I was staring at your dad?

Nurse Wong.

Oh, you don't know her. Anyway, someone told me.

Did she say what I was doing?

No, she said you weren't doing anything, just...just intently staring at my dad.

Just intently staring at your dad?

How curious.I wonder why.

Even you don't know why?

Well, if everyone in this world knew why they did all the things they did...

this world wouldn't be how it is today.

What is it?

What's wrong? Hey? Where are you going?!

Chungy?

Chungy, why are you crying?

My mama...

What's wrong with her, Chungy? Tell Big Bro Petey.

My mama, she's... she's so scary!

Big Bro Petey, help her! Please, help her!

Don't cry, Chungy.

How about this? You take Big Bro Petey to your place, okay?

Can I help you?

Uh... I'm Chungy's... teacher.

Yeah, teacher. We're conducting home visits.

Oh, a home visit?

Please come in!

Here, here Please make yourself at home.

C'mon, c'mon, c'mon!

I do apologise! I haven't much to offer you.

You're...you're too kind. It's alright, madam.

Oh yeah, where's Chungy?!

Oh! The dummy might have gone to play outside.

- Here, have some tea first. - Thank you.

The house is a shambles, excuse the mess. I'm so embarassed I could die.

So Chungy, the little dummy... he's actually really worried about you.

The house is a shambles. I'm so embarassed I could die.

Uh... Madam? Have... you been alright lately?

The house is a shambles. I'm so embarassed I could die!

The house is a shambles. I'm so embarassed I could die!

Madam? Madam?!

What are you looking at?!

She's been possessed by something.

For real...?

Auntie, some tea.

- Cousin, some tea. - Don't be scared.

Third Great-Aunt, some tea.

Uncle, some tea.

Please... stop messing with her. Just leave.

I went through so much to come to Hong Kong.

Now you're telling me to leave?

It was only when I arrived in Hong Kong... I found out I was the concubine.

Not that it really mattered.

As long as he was willing to care for me, to love me... I could let it go.

I could never have imagined he would live such a short life.

That he would die just like that.

I have no friends or family in Hong Kong either.

The damn bitch! We were neighbours!

Did she have to go around saying I... I seduced another woman's husband?!

I made it clear.

If I die, I will take her with me.

I will take her with me!

But what good would that do?

So you're saying... you're on her side?

Uh...No! No...

Yes! So what if I'm on her side?!

No matter what Chungy's ma has done. Chungy is innocent!

So why bring him into it? Why?!

Siu-Kam!

I know your situation is unfortunate,

but does that mean you should make everyone else as unfortunate as you?!

Oi? Let's go. Let's go!

Let's go, c'mon! C'mon!

There's a--

There's a what?!

Something's been following us since we came here.

Where's it now?! Where is it?

It disappeared.

Give...

Give...

She's been possessed by a ghost.

Give...me...back...my head! Give it!

Let him go! Let him go!

Get lost!

Give me back my head!

You okay?

Mind your own business.

Siu-Kam?! Siu-Kam?!

Oi?! Where... where are you going?!

Let go!

Give her back...!

You better let go! I'll still hit a woman ghost!

Give her back and I'll stop struggling!

Geez... Let go!

Hey?!

We need to go! They're fighting over the shell!

What shell?

Hurry up!

Give me back my head!

Let... let go of me...!

Help...!

Stupid bitch getting in my way! Think I won't smack ya?!

Peter!

Stupid bitch, you gonna leave or not?!

Are you alright?

Don't fight with me over her!

Stupid bitch...!

You... you better stop it...!

- Giving up?! - Let's go our separate ways!

They've gone...

Mama?! Mama?!

Mama?!

Thanks a lot, Big Bro Petey!

Y-y-you're welcome. Not that I really did anything.

Hurry and go check on your mama.

Lucky I happened by and found him! Looks like he fell down a while ago.

You knew from the start Chungy was--

I'm going upstairs...

Why didn't you tell me?

You couldn't have helped even if I told you...

Help?

The issue is that you knew but didn't tell me!

I'm sorry...

Why won't you tell me anything?!

I do...

Then what was that thing just now?!

I really don't know...

Why suddenly go have French toast?

Why do we keep running into these things?!

I mean, how much do I really know about you?!

Every time I take you home, you don't... you don't let me come up! Why?! Why?

H-hello?

Where are you now?

I'm on my way.

Of course...!

LAY TO REST

Take that! Take that! Take that...!

I'm warning you: mind your own business! Stay back or get smacked!

Let's go!

Pops...? Pops?

Maybe this is where I dropped my report card.

Hmm... I'm such an airhead! How could I have lost it?

My results weren't that good this time... but they weren't bad either!

There's around a hundred students. I scored like 50-something...!

Wong-Choi...

I've always said that you gotta stand upright and sit upright.

Admit when you're not right and take a beating right.

I'm not someone who's achieved a lot in life.

I didn't have much of an education. Not quite sure how to raise you right.

But no matter what happens, no matter what...

I'll always support you!

It's because you're my son!

If you ever lie to me though, it'll break my heart like nothing else.

Here...

I know you like eating Toblerone. I bought it for you today especially.

Dad...I'm sorry. My report card was here all along.

I don't know how I did so badly. It doesn't make sense!

I knew right from the start! Here

I'm sorry, Dad.

I miss you, Dad.

Son, don't miss me. Dad's already dead!

What the hell happened to you...?!

Oh, come get a change of clothes!

How much for malt, Bro?!

Four-fifty!

- That'll be nine bucks. - Nine dollars.

Thanks.

Been a while since us two brothers looked after the shop together.

When you were just a kid,

you'd always break something trying to help out.

Oi, oi?! It's alright...!

You always hurt yourself cleaning up broken glass!

Oh, leave it. I'll do it later. I'll get the Mercurochrome.

Ah... sit down!

Let me see.

Hey, does that stuff even work...?!

Does it work? You relied on it every time you hurt yourself as a kid!

No, the problem is that this looks like the same bottle we had as kids.

As if it's the same bottle!

You're a damn brat! Always pranking your big bro.

A shame, though...I couldn't hang onto Pop's snake restaurant.

Hey, when did Pops become ill anyway?!

Remember that year you got someone else's report card...?!

You thought you did badly and was scared to tell Pops...?!

He started getting ill in the end of that year.

You don't remember?

Oh! It was the year some guy got killed in a crash in Sai Wan.

His head flew right off!

It was in every newspaper. Awful as hell!

Remember...?

POPE ON ROAD TO RECOVERY

LOS ANGELES FIRE: HUNDREDS FLEE

COLDEST DAY OF THE YEAR: 80 HOSPITALISED

MAN LOSES HEAD IN SAI WAN TRAM RUSH

Does it hurt?

It's a birthmark, why would it hurt?

When I visited your dad on the night before he died,

I saw a nurse just intently staring at him.

Your dad also intently stared back at her.

I already told you, I ain't senile!

That thing messed with me!

First you say she's got something to do with your old man's death.

Wait, no.

First you say she's got something to do with a traffic accident

where a guy lost his head.

Now you're saying she's in cahoots with God knows who trying to harm you!

I feel there's just way too... way too many plot twists...!

As simple as that.

Thanks for being a shoulder to cry on.

I do believe you, though.

I've actually thought about asking her to explain everything that's going on.

Whoa! Do that and I'll have a hard time not questioning your sanity.

It's like this.Think about it.

If someone wants to harm you, will they tell you they wanna harm you?

If you go see her, you're serving yourself on a platter!

I'm only thinking about it...! What else can I do?

I reckon you should stop thinking.

Get cracking and find a job.

You're already stone broke.

Wait, no.You're making me stone broke.

Keep this up and I'll be dead even if you aren't!

Now, now, now... Don't say I don't give you any perks

Love and employment arriving right this minute.

- Yo, Carmen! - Yo...!

- Fancy seeing you here! - No way...

Beer, please.

I called her out here especially. Spend a bit of time with her, alright?

Ah, Carmen, perfect timing!

- Didn't you say you've got a job for him? - Yeah.

You two have a nice long chat, then. I'm off to pick up chicks.

So? Have you had a think?

About... about what?

What else is there? The job, of course...!

Oh! Y-y-yeah... All good, all good. I'm interested.

There's something I wanna tell you.

I'm just not sure how to tell you, though.

So it's actually to do with you.

Not telling you doesn't seem right.

- I know... - Oh, you better know!

Your place.

My.... my place?!

Your interview's tomorrow!

If I don't help you brush up, there's a chance they won't hire you!

Hello! Yep, this is the one!

Cut it like this.

You gotta nail the interview tomorrow, okay?

Thanks a lot.

It's actually really brave of me to let you cut my hair.

I hope you understand.

I get it. Alright! Here I come.

Come on...! Hurry up and get cracking, I need to get home.

Excuse me...

That thing... That thing is here!

The thing at the housing estate! I told you already!

I saw it just now!

I think... it must wanna hurt you!

- What are you going on about? - You need to be more careful!

Carmen. Siu-Kam.

I think I'm gonna go.

- Good idea! - Hey, you don't need to go.

Siu-Kam, why don't you leave instead?

Why?

It really is dangerous here.

Just go!

- You really are in danger, though! - Being with you is even more dangerous.

Ever...ever since we got together, I keep running into these strange things.

Sorry.

Excuse me for bothering you.

I'll get going now.

What's going on? You... Oi?!

What are you doing?

Are... are you okay?

How... how did this happen?!

What are you... What are you...

Why did you do this?!

It... it wasn't me.

I never wanna see you again!

Tell me, you a human or a ghost?!

Tell me, human or ghost?!

You're crazy...

So you are human. Then why dress like a bloody ghost?!

Embroidered shoes, oil-paper umbrella..

and what's with the bloody corpse make-up? Huh?!

- Who the hell dresses like that?! - I'm on my way home.

I just finished dance rehearsal!

You'll scare people to death like that. People will die, y'’know...?!

So...?! You look like you're covered in blood!

You're just using me as an excuse to be scared.

Why have a go at me all of a sudden?!

Simon?! Simon?!

Give it a rest, will ya?!

Oi, you've got AIDS, quit snogging her!

Shit!

Whoa... Looks like I'm... even scarier than AIDS.

That's a given! What the hell's going on this time...?!

It's Siu-Kam!

Siu-Kam? She already did the debt collector thing the first time.

She's pulling that again?

Hang on. You were with Carmen just now, though.

Yeah, whatever. Point is... she's painted the whole house red!

That serious?!

Anyway, we can't go home now.

I guess... it's time we saw my ma.

Hey? How come you never told me your ma's an exorcist?

Why would I? My ma sells appliances in Tsim Sha Tsui.

She hustles foreign devils, not actual ones!

Then why are we seeing her?!

We got nowhere to go. It's her or we sleep on the street.

What are you looking at?!

I'll level with you... I'm looking at you.

I scare you or something?!

Not in the beginning. You are now that you're going off at me.

No excuse for not starting the car! You refusing service?!

Bro, times are tough right now. Like I can refuse service.

The problem is I've got two busted tires.

Then why'd you stop here?!

She can't move so I parked to the side! You two just happened to be here.

Oi, you could've told us not to get in!

Can I stop you from shooting in like an arrow?!

Can I stop you from running your mouths?! I...I haven't been able to get a word in!

You're something. Watch your back.

I hate cabbies the most!

Oi?! Mind the door, kid!

Oof...Good thing Ma and Pa are on holiday in China somewhere.

No one around to bug us, even better.

Oi, I'm off to the 7-Eleven to buy some shares, you want any?

What? You're buying shares at the 7-Eleven?!

Geez! Thank God, a reaction! I was worried you'd turn to stone.

Of course, I'm not...!

Right, take a shower, get changed, and wake yourself up a bit.Okay?

Simon?!

Hey?! What... what's wrong?!

What happened here?! Did Siu-Kam do this?!

Y-y-you okay now?

Of course, I'm okay!

I'm asking if Siu-Kam did this?!

It was you.

What...?

It was you. It was you who pushed me!

Me...?

You were terrifying just now.

A totally different person.

You have no recollection at all?

Just tell me what the hell happened?!

Just now... when I got back from buying some cola.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw you painting everything red.

I asked what you were doing.

Peter, what are you doing?

Keep your nose out of it!

Peter, it's me...

It's me...!

Then you rushed down and ask me, 'Simon?! What happened?!

'Did Siu-Kam do this?! '

That's it.

I've got a feeling, the red paint last time...

might not have been Siu-Kam's fault.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was you.

Peter?!

So that means I was wrong about Siu-Kam.

Well, not necessarily...

You could be doing this under her influence.

No way...

Let's hope not...

Oh yeah, how can you keep talking? It doesn't hurt?

What do you mean it doesn't hurt? I was too busy talking I just forgot!

Oi, you're ditching me?!

It's not like you're passed out! You've got a phone.Call an ambulance!

Guess that's true...

Whaddya want...?!

I'm looking for Siu-Kam.

Siu-Kam...?

No such person!

Hey, she definitely lives here!

- I told ya, no such person...! - June! June!

I'm looking for June.

June...?

Oh... I remember you.

You are... Who are you?

My name's Peter! I'm a friend of June's.

I'm also a friend of June's. The really good kind.

C'mon. Come inside.

My name's Kow. I live with Mama next door!

June is one of my best friends!

If anyone's mean to her, I'll take revenge for her!

What are you staring at?! Never seen a babe before?!

Kei-Kei? He's one of June's friends.

Big effing deal!

This is June's room!

Oh...! I remember you! I remember you now!

Don't hurt me!

Don't hurt me! Don't hurt me! I had nothing to do with it!

Hey, where's June?!

She's not here?

Ah, I remember! She's on the roof.

Hanging out laundry!

She's hanging out laundry?

Of course, she's hanging out laundry. What else do you do on the roof, stupid?

I can't go up on the roof with you.

My mama doesn't let me go on the roof.

Then be a good boy and sit here. Don't go wandering off.

- Don't leave me, I still love you. - Don't touch me! Let go! Get lost!

- I still love you. - Get away from me!

Oi, stop it!

Peter?!

And what if I don't?!

Keep it up and you'll be sorry!

Hey?! Peter!

We can start all over. I'll believe whatever you say, okay?

- You're nuts...! Hey-- - Sound good? C'mon...

Trust me.

Give... back my... head!

My... head...

I...I think he's been possessed by something.

No way...

You just said you'll believe whatever I say!

This stuff's hard for me to believe, though!

Give me back my head...!

Help! He really is possessed...!

You have to keep bashing my head?!

Give me... back my head...!

My head really hurts!

How can this be?!

Hey? Hey, hey, hey?!

It's me!

What are you doing...?!

Guess I gotta act possessed to scare people.

You're nuts...!

So...I shouldn't have blamed you. I'm sorry.

Lucky, you showed up.

Hey, there's something I really need to ask!

What?

Why were you gawking at my old man at the hospital?

How do you know about that?

I've asked you before.

Oh, it doesn't matter. Someone saw you.

What was that about?

To be perfectly honest...

I really don't know.

You don't know? That can't be. You gawked at him for so long!

For real? You don't know?

I didn't even know your old man!

I only found out he was your old man after!

It just felt like his eyes were so familiar.

Like I'd seen them somewhere before...

What about the Sai Wan headless man incident 15 years ago, were you there?

How can I remember 15 years ago...?

I just can't shake the feeling everything's connected to that incident.

If I told you I lost all my childhood memories...

would you still believe me?

Oh, fine! Come with me.

I think only the old sage can help us now.

You found the one who drew the talisman? Yeah.

BENEVOLENCE HALL OF MORTAL SALVATION

We're here.

Where is he?

So nuts...!

What's so funny, lass? Don't you ever take a dump?

Still laughin', huh?

You're the... demon banishing sage with mystical powers?

Oi, have some tea.

Truth is...

the lass was always frightened, claimin'to see ghosts,

so I scribbled somethin'as a talisman, hopin'just to make her feel better.

Now, when I was behind bars--

Might as well tell you... I ran an escort service,

not the bodyguard kind, the streetwalkin'kind.

So when I was doin' time...

the lass sent someone to tell me...

my talisman really could cast out ghosts.

Like hell I knew what I was doin'.

I only know how to make bloody scribbles!

If you can exorcise ghosts, you're an exorcist.

Since you can cast out ghosts, it's proof you have powers.

Hearin' the lass say that over and over, I started to think I must have powers,

so I entered the exorcism business.

Oh, so when I saw you at Yuen Long, you were performing an exorcism?

You've seen me? I've never see you!

You're the guy Kow beat up the other day? Why were you there?

Uh... It's a long story! Also... it's not important.

I'll tell you another time.

The fact is, I'm a non-believer who peddles belief.

In other words, a charlatan.

I'm only meetin'a demand in the market, though!

Not my bloody fault people put their faith in me!

As if there are actually ghosts in this world...!

People see what they wanna see...!

He doesn't even believe in ghosts... How can he help us?

This isn't even what we came for.

You just keep yapping away, asking stupid shit!

I wanna know how the hell you even found me that day?

The old sage here actually found me on the street.

He found you...?

Your head on straight, lass? You're askin'that?

I need to know.

Oh, alright. Use this plastic bag.

Plastic bag?

You ready?

What's with the plastic bag?

I remember on that day, I was just twiddlin'my thumbs,

so I went for a wander.

I was walkin'along and, God knows how, I wound up in Sai Wan

There was a huge traffic accident in Sai Wan that day.

Someone got killed.

His head flew right off!

A headless man?!

That's some reaction.

You need a bag, too?

You holdin' up alright...?

I'll keep goin', then.

I remember by the time I rocked up, the ambulance had already bloody left.

I only heard what happened from the onlookers.

They said the tram knocked the bloke's head off,

but he walked the full length of the street before he finally collapsed.

The head was caught beneath the tram.

I really don't get why people love to bloody exaggerate.

At the time, I saw the lass sittin'alone on the side of the road cryin'.

So I...I asked herher name, but she didn't know how to respond!

I asked where she lived. she didn't bloody know!

She was so bloody pitiful, I took her in...

It was only later I found out she couldn't remember a thing!

You can't recall anything from before the old sage found you?

So that means if you remember your past, it'll explain everything?

What is it...?

T-that...that thing--

That was quick.It's here?

You're tellin'me you can see one here?

What do you want?! Tell us! What do you want?!

Peter, what are you doing?

Didn't you say it was here?

I-I got too scared just now and couldn't move

It was right next to me.

Lass...if it was right next to you, where is it now?

There's actually nothin' to fear about ghosts!

If you don't bring 'em harm... they won't bring harm to you.

And he and I have no grievances...!

The cosmos lends me its power! The earth shakes, the heavens shift!

Supreme Venerable Sovereign, carry out my edict with haste!

Join me and live! Oppose me and die!

Hey, I thought he was a fraud.

Spouting abracadabra doesn't make you the real deal...

Give...me...back...my...head...

Hey?! No, I can't ditch the old sage!

It isn't after the old sage! If we go, he'll be safe.C'mon!

Hurry!

Run!

- Run...! - Okay!

Oi, 100 bucks for six! Something catch your eye? Twenty each!

Something catch-- Whoa, what's going on?

What's there to see?! Run!

What the hell...?!

Old sage?!

What am I doin' out here? Huh?

Oi?! Oi? Lass? Why are you lookin'at me like that?

Don't tell me it's here again.

- I told you it won't let us go! - Run!

Oi?!

The lass is the only one who can see 'em.

Maybe the two of 'em are just tryin'to scare me.

Nothin'to be scared of...

Nothin'to be scared of!

Is it following us?!

Even if it is, we can't keep running.

I feel like it's not gonna let us go tonight.

C'mon...

Siu-Kam?!

Give...

Who are you?!

What do you want?! Hey?! Hey?! Hey?!

What... what do you want?!

Don't mess with her, mess with me!

If you got the guts, bring it!

Siu-Kam?!

Peter?!

- Oh no! It hit him! - What happened?!

It's you?

You were the one beneath the tram?

- Geez! What the heck?! Hey?! - I don't believe this!

He pushed you onto the road...

His son's got nothing to do with it.

Let him go.

His son's got nothing to do with it?!

I'm a debt collector.

Whoever's in debt to us... ruins their wife and kids.

He owes you money?

He owes me a head...!

Hey?! I'm begging you, let him go!

Wait a minute!

I...I remember now!

He didn't push you!

So I died like a total chump?

GRAVE OF LO KUNG-KIT OF JIEYANG

I...I've gotten you all wrong the entire time.

Aren't you mad at me?

What have you gotten wrong about me?

Forget it! It's fine... No point bringing up the past!

Not true! If these are happy memories, we should bring them up more often!

Last time... you dropped this. I picked it up for you.

lt's mine?!

I gave it to you!

You gave it to me?

When we went kite flying.

You and I went kite flying?!

How could you forget?

For real? You don't remember?

I think of then

Those good old days

That warmth again

Who knew on this day I can't see you

Madam, what... what are you doing here?

This is my daughter.

I'm here to visit her.

She's your daughter?

Over some no-good bastard, the silly girl...

killed herself in Cheung Chau.

GRAVE OF BELOVED DAUGHTER WONG SIU-KAM FEBRUARY 1969-OCTOBER 1991

This is her favourite song.

I play it for her every time I come visit.

Do... you... miss... me...?

I'm missing you

I think of then

Those good old days

That warmth again

Who knew on this day I can't see you

Who knew in this life our love is through

I'm missing you

I dream of then

Those good old days

Such warmth again

Who knew on this day it would be all over

Passion will fill my heart until when

I'm missing you

I think of then

Those good old days

That friendship again

Let me live within my heart for evermore

Leave my passion in my heart till when
