SHAW BROTHERS (HK) LTD. A SHAW STUDIOS PRODUCTION

Someone's digging up the graves!

Don't let him get away!

Stop right there!

Stop right there!

He has been hit.

He's dead. Let's go.

Where is he?

A ghost?

Don't be afraid, I'm not dead.

Did you think you hit me?

I know black magic.

I wouldn't have escaped if I hadn't used black magic.

You almost scared me to death.

Cut the crap. Take me to Jade Garden.

It's your rotten luck to run into me.

It's bad luck to interfere with black magic.

If you're lucky, you'll just get sick.

If not, you and your family might die.

- I don't believe that. - No? You will when something happens.

How much is the fare?

Never mind.

Is what he said true?

- Ready? - Yes.

- I'm off to work. - I'll drive you.

Bye.

- Call me after work. - Okay.

- Bye. - Bye.

Ming, come again soon.

- Ace. - Insurance?

All right.

- Sir? - My name is Fang.

Mr. Fang, would you like to buy insurance?

Even heroes fall for beauty. Insurance won't help.

I'll add to my bet.

They all have a Queen. I want one for myself too.

All right, I'll give you one.

Baby...

I love you so much.

Good.

- Face card! - Face card!

Twenty points for the house.

I quit.

Mr. Fang, how much are you betting?

Stack it up.

I came every day in the past two weeks. I never saw you.

I was away for a month. Today is my first day back to work.

What's your name?

Irene.

- The dealer has a good hand. - Where did you work before?

- Seventeen points. Hit? - No, thank you.

Twelve points. Hit?

Hit me if it's of benefit to me.

Then you'd better be good.

What time do you finish work? I'll treat you to supper.

Fifteen points. Hit?

Got a date with your boyfriend?

I'm not sure. All good?

- Face card! - Face card!

These are for you.

These are all yours.

If it weren't for you, I wouldn't bet again.

He's so generous.

Ming, you're leaving?

Do you like them?

You want me to dress up to drive the taxi?

To look great and have fun.

Have fun?

You shouldn't splurge.

I got some tips last night. I don't care.

Give me a glass of wine.

- Face card! - Face card!

Good, another win.

I've won enough today.

Irene, it's yours.

Call me after work.

This way, please.

This way.

Please sit.

- What's wrong? - My wife.

Once your husband has changed his mind, it's over.

You are right.

- What now? - Let's go.

West.

- Me too. - Hell! Discard the last west tile.

- It'll bring bad luck! - I don't believe that.

- Choose another one. - No, I've decided.

Don't be superstitious.

Is your husband coming to pick you up? It's late.

He's not coming.

He's going diving early tomorrow morning.

He'll need more rest.

You're naughty!

He's gone. Get up.

An old friend?

Old friend? He's my husband.

Is he a taxi driver?

We should have let him drive us to the motel, then.

You're back early.

Business is slack. I thought I'd keep you company.

No.

I'm tired.

- Green dragon. - Thank you.

Thirteen orphans.

You play! I haven't won a single game. I've lost a lot.

- It's fine. - It would be worse if he was playing.

Three women against one man? It's a sure loss!

Haha! Not necessarily.

It's no big deal for Dr. Wang to lose a bit.

He'll just charge us more when we go to his clinic.

No, I won't.

No problem, I don't really care.

Lucky in gambling, unlucky in love.

Don't be a gambling addict or you'll lose him.

You're a gambling addict too.

I'm different. My husband stays with me every day.

I want to move out.

What do you think?

I feel so disgusted every time I see him.

What's the point? I can't be with you all day.

We can't keep on dating secretly.

I'll confront my husband.

And you divorce your wife.

What do you say?

Do you agree?

Why don't you answer me?

What did you promise me when you first met me?

Tell me!

Useless thug! Don't you know how to drive?

- Get out of the car! - Get out!

You've got some nerve!

Your car's brakes are pretty good.

You've got guts.

How about a race?

A hot chick.

- No wonder he's so brave. - Don't say that.

His girlfriend is here. Just let him show off.

Well, are you going to race me?

Wait until I've got another car, I dare you to go one on one!

I'm sorry. That was our fault.

That's more like it.

Paul, cut her some slack.

Cut her some slack?

Whatever you say.

It's much safer to ride in my car.

Thank you.

- Let's go. - Let's go.

- Goodbye, lady! - Bye!

Those two rascals were staring at you!

If I were really that attractive, you'd have divorced your wife long ago.

If you were smart, you'd know I won't divorce my wife.

Fine. Let me out! Go back to your wife!

Stop the car!

Stop the car!

You aren't stopping? I'll jump out.

What are you doing?

Irene!

Irene!

Irene... Irene!

Go to your wife!

Get back in the car.

Irene!

Irene!

Taxi.

Calling 168.

This is 168. What's up?

Your wife needs you at Clear Water Bay.

Got it. Thank you.

I'm sorry, I'm off duty.

What's wrong with you?

Idiot.

Lady.

Did your boyfriend abandon you? We'll keep you company.

Carry her to the car.

She's not here.

- Check upstairs. - Okay.

- 168 calling the center. - Go ahead.

There's no one here at Clear Water Bay.

Where's my wife?

How am I supposed to know? Just wait for a while.

Paul, it's your turn.

Me? I'm good.

We're in this together!

Go away.

I don't want to...

Don't be afraid, just go ahead!

After her! Don't let her get away!

Stop pretending! Go ahead!

No, I don't want to.

Please answer, 168.

This is 168. Go ahead.

Your wife is waiting at Yidong Building.

What?

She said that she'll wait for you at Yidong Building.

Thank you.

Irene!

Irene!

Irene!

Calling the center.

Go ahead, 168.

I'm at Yidong Building. I don't see my wife.

Yidong Building? Who asked you to go there?

She's at Clear Water Bay.

Didn't you tell me to come?

You're nuts. I didn't call you!

Mr. Zhou, why was your wife there?

I don't know.

How did you find your wife's body?

The center called and asked me to go there.

I couldn't see her there, but then I found her by accident.

How long were you married?

Over three months, but we were together for four years.

Any savings?

Two or three thousand.

- Life insurance? - No.

We found something at the scene.

Come with us and see if it belongs to your wife.

Okay.

Come on!

Move!

You bitch!

Did you seduce my boyfriend?

Go to hell!

They're all here. Take a look.

I've checked. The center never asked him to go to Yidong Building.

Something's fishy here.

You've seen them all?

Are they your wife's?

Where did she work before?

- She was a dealer at a casino. - Any enemies?

- No. - Did she get home from work punctually?

Any lovers?

I don't know.

You're lying! You knew she was having an affair.

- So you killed her! - No!

Stop pretending!

We've checked the center's records.

She asked you to meet her at Clear Water Bay.

Not at Yidong Building!

I swear the center asked me to go there!

You're not in court so there's no need to swear.

You met her at Clear Water Bay

and brought her to Yidong Building to kill her.

Sir, Why would I kill her?

If I were the murderer, I wouldn't come to the police!

It's obvious from the crime scene

that my wife was raped and killed!

If every case were that simple,

half the cops would be jobless!

My wife was murdered.

And you're after me, not the killer?

- Sir. - Sir.

Mr. Zhou, calm down.

Until the case is solved we have every reason to suspect anyone.

Have you seen him before?

Who are you looking for?

- Are you Fang Ming? - Yes.

We are the police.

We would like to talk to you regarding a murder case.

Don't wake my wife. I'll come.

What? Never seen a man before?

- You bastard... - Hey, stop!

- Move! - Move!

- Sit. - Come in.

- What's your name? - Anthony Fang.

Chinese name?

Fang Ming.

Did you know a girl named Irene?

Yes.

Did you see her on 18 August?

Yes.

We went for a ride. We had a bit of a squabble.

She got out at Clear Water Bay.

According to the autopsy report, your wife had semen in her body.

I suspect he is the murderer!

I admit we had an affair, but I didn't kill her.

Do you remember seeing anyone that night? Did anything happen?

I saw a red car near the crime scene.

Get out of the car!

Don't move!

Be gentle.

We are the police.

Is this your car?

Whose car is it?

- What's this about? - That case in Yidong Building.

We want you to help with the investigation.

- I need to call home. - You may call from the station.

Move!

Have a seat.

- Have some tea. - Thank you.

Previous-generation detectives have a bad image.

They sometimes frame people.

But it's entirely different now.

I like telling stories.

Let me tell you a story.

On the night of 18 August someone was killed at Yidong.

The victim was a young woman.

Soon after that her husband arrived at the crime scene.

He saw a red Fiat sports car.

Its license plate number is CR 4417.

What do you think of this story?

I don't know!

I hope you two can help me complete the story.

Speak up!

I'll wait for my lawyer!

GRAVE OF BELOVED WIFE IRENE ZHU

It has nothing to do with me. I didn't do anything

You should have had her.

If you had, this wouldn't have happened.

Beer, please.

You caused all this trouble.

And now I'm involved too.

If it weren't for my mom, you'd still be under arrest.

I've done my best.

We've had such bad luck.

Had we left earlier that night, her husband wouldn't have seen us.

There was nothing there.

Why was her husband there?

If he recognizes us,

we're finished.

Kill him.

We have no choice.

How do we find him?

I can find anyone I want to.

You shouldn't have used violence against them.

I can charge you for grievous bodily harm.

It was self-defense. They wanted to kill me!

You beat us up and accuse us of killing you?

- You're still telling lies? - Mr. Zhou, calm down.

Trust us to handle your wife's case.

If you take the law into your own hands, the police will be out of a job.

You've seen black magic.

You and your family might die if you're unlucky.

You have to believe this.

Come in.

My wife is dead.

Help me get revenge.

Although you saved me, I can't help you.

Your situation is...

What?

It's your destiny. No one can help you.

Go figure it out for yourself.

You seduced my wife and asked someone to kill me!

I'm going to kill you!

He broke my leg.

You're better off giving in.

If you keep thinking about revenge, you might end up killing yourself too.

They destroyed my family,

turned me into a cripple.

- You still refuse to help me? - You don't know black magic.

If you seek revenge using black magic,

you might kill yourself if it fails.

Help me, or I'll tell the police what you did.

Fine, I'll help you.

But don't regret it.

I won't.

I'm now exercising some advanced black magic.

It will lead your wife's spirit to her murderers.

This method is believed to be lost and is called "seeding a ghost."

I'm going to start now. Don't be scared.

I'm using your body shape to summon your wife's spirit.

Now bring me your wife's body immediately.

GRAVE OF BELOVED WIFE IRENE ZHU

Done.

- Where's my wife's body? - It's here.

Follow me.

Sit down.

Close your eyes and don't look.

This coconut oil is for your wife.

What happened to my hand?

To heal her spirit.

That is the price of using black magic.

It will get worse in the days to come.

I don't know what you want.

You're not studying or working,

spending all your time with bad friends.

You'll get into trouble.

It's none of your business.

None of my business? Then whose business is it?

You were only ten when Dad died.

Without me you'd have starved to death.

I raised and supported you.

How ungrateful you are!

If I didn't provide you with this meal, you'd be starving.

If you're so tough, don't eat it.

I've already eaten it.

Puke it out, then.

Paul, what's wrong?

Peter.

Since that incident, you've not been well.

Did you two do it?

You can tell me.

I'm so worried.

If you've done such unforgivable things,

karma will get you.

Stop nagging. We didn't do anything.

- Peter! - What is it?

Your gums are bleeding.

Really?

They're not.

Peter, what are you eating?

Coconut.

It's tender. Try it.

What's wrong?

MOW.!

Madam, you're back.

- You're home early. - Where did you go?

I was at the race course. Strange things happened.

Last night I dreamt about the late Zhan Ahjian.

Wasn't he the jockey who won the Queen's Cup?

So I placed my bet.

I won.

- How much did you win? - Over 8,000 bucks.

Let's go out and celebrate.

- I'd rather drink at home. - All right, pour me a glass.

What's up with you? Pour me a glass.

What happened here?

Peter!

Peter, what's going on with you?

Did you see a ghost?

Peter! Peter!

Your wife has now become...

...a love deity.

Go and give her a kiss.

Hubby.

Do you like my nightdress?

Looks nice.

Master, open the door!

Master!

- Master, what happened? - She's possessed.

Holy dew cleanses all filth, purifying this sacred ground.

Holy dew cleanses all filth, purifying this sacred ground.

Rise!

Don't worry, Master.

This priest is powerful.

He has exorcised many demons.

Madam will be fine soon.

Please protect and bless her.

Disasters and misfortune will be averted.

- Got any eggs? - Yes.

Very powerful indeed.

Can you take care of it?

I can suppress her for a while.

How did it happen?

Mr. Fang,

I have burnt nine talismans, but the spirit would not leave.

She must have died a wrongful death.

Forgive me for asking, but did you do anything bad?

- No. - There's no need to lie.

If it were not for revenge, she wouldn't have clung to your wife.

I can tell you that it was a female ghost.

I had a mistress

who was recently raped and killed.

On the day she died, she begged me to divorce my wife.

- But I refused. - That's why.

Here are the eggs.

Mr. Fang,

I suspect someone is using black magic.

I'll try to find out.

Lost souls, repent your past sins

and break free from ignorance.

May the sacred light guide you across the sea of desire.

With endless compassion, all beings shall be saved.

With divine protection, may fortune and longevity bless you.

With endless compassion,

may fortune and longevity bless you.

Mr. Fang,

crack the egg open.

Don't touch the charmed sword.

I'll find my master and we'll fight her together.

See what it says.

"God

many ghosts

II

No wonder nothing worked!

The spirit you're looking for is very smart.

- What do we do now? - Ask again.

Don't run away.

I recognize you two.

I didn't kill you!

Cut the crap!

- My son will seek revenge for me! - No! Please!

My son will seek revenge for me!

- My son will seek revenge for me! - Please! No!

You can't escape!

My son will seek revenge for me!

My son will seek revenge for me!

My son will seek revenge for me!

Madam Liu, are you all right?

Are you all right?

What happened to my house?

I won't dare help you again.

Look what you've done to my house.

Leave now and don't come here again!

That bitch is so powerful.

She said that her son would avenge her.

I'm scared.

She's got a son?

That's right.

She was married for less than four months.

How could she have a son?

- We shouldn't be afraid, then. - Right.

- You're right! - Cheers!

Sister!

Sister, what are you doing?

I'm going to entertain you now.

- Sister! - I'm not your sister.

- You know who I am. - Sister, we can't.

Do you remember who pushed me down?

But it wasn't my fault.

Now it's my turn!

One down,

one to go.

What are you doing?

Don't be afraid.

Your wife brought him here.

This is the power of black magic.

Your wife's spirit will have sex with him now.

Let's move out of the way.

Your wife's spirit is pregnant now.

When her son is born, he will seek revenge for you.

- Is she pregnant? - Yes.

You'll feed him with your blood,

instruct him with your spirit.

Skanda guards, Bodhisattva blesses.

Evil fades, and virtue prevails.

Amitabha...

With sacred water, all realms are cleansed.

Fire turns to lotus.

Amitabha...

Amitabha, Supreme Healer, guiding vessel in the sea of suffering.

Bodhisattva of perfect compassion, born in the Seven-Jewel Forest.

With a thousand hands and eyes, the Bodhisattva sits in Putuo Palace.

Sweet dew drips from the willow branch, blessing all realms.

Divine power rises.

Sacred light fills this altar.

With Buddha's light, calamity departs, fortune comes.

Mr. Fang, you'd better stay away.

Okay.

Let's go.

The pearl lights the path to paradise, the staff opens hell's gate.

I bow to the lineage of masters.

By the divine decree, act swiftly!

Amitabha.

Thunder and fire gods, do not act recklessly. Go!

May all karmic obstacles be eradicated without a trace.

- Why was I here? - Come down first.

You were possessed.

She's fine now.

Mr. Fang, if you're still worried, take her to a doctor.

Let's visit Dr. Wang.

- Go home and get some rest. - Thank you.

Thank you.

Master, you're back.

- You're back. - Yes.

- I've won a lot today. - Won't you let me play?

- Dr. Wang. - Have you been here long?

Your wife's report is here.

Have a look.

Pour two glasses of wine.

You can relax now.

Dr. Wang said you're fine.

Well, I'm not fine here.

Pay HP-

I'm on a winning streak.

Mrs. Fang just lost a game to Mrs. Wang

Luckily it has nothing to do with me.

I'm lucky today.

We'll see.

- Mr. Fang. - Come.

Congratulations on the baby.

Cheers.

Feed him with your blood.

Instruct him with your spirit.

Feed him with your blood.

Instruct him with your spirit.

What's wrong?

He's kicking. Feel it.

What are you waiting for?

Okay. Right away.

She wants to play Taiwan style.

- I'll play with you, madam. - Great. Let's go in.

- Come. - Let's go upstairs and play.

I'm feeling lucky.

- You're going to lose a lot. - We'll find out when we play.

- West. - Four Wests?

Don't be so superstitious. We played like this last time.

It's different now she's expecting.

Right.

Mrs. Fang, are you all right?

My tummy aches.

- Help her to my room. - Okay.

Come this way.

Be careful.

Slowly.

- Be careful. - Alex!

Alex!

- What is it? - Mrs. Fang is not feeling well.

Excuse me. I'll go check on her.

- Xiang, stand in for me. - All right.

- How is she? - Her tummy aches.

Could it be time?

I'll check on her.

Call Mr. Fang immediately.

- How is she? - I'm not sure.

Her tummy aches. Maybe the baby is due.

Don't worry, the doctor is here.

- It hurts! - Be patient.

The doctor's here.

It really hurts.

- What was that? - What's going on?

- What's going on? - What's going on?

Pass me the first aid kit!

That's horrible!

Hang in there!

- What do we do now? - Send her to the hospital!

Hurry!

- Let's go together! - Let's go!

Dr. Wang, give me the gun!
