"Six months ago"

Nurse, where's my father?

Mr Man, please come with me

Mr Man

I'm afraid I have bad news for you

Your father didn't respond well to the surgery

Because of his age, it might take some time

for him to recover from the surgery

There is no telling how long he'll be in this state

The only thing we can do right now

is to keep him under observation

Man Weng Kiong

This bill is for April

This is for May

Please sign here

Charlie

How's your father?

Don't worry

He's a good, strong man

I'm sure he'll be fine

How is Mr Lee's case?

We'll find another customer even if we lose this one

It's not a big deal

What's going on?

I am your buddy, right?

Listen, I could loan you...

It's fine. I'll take care of it

Who doesn't want to make a fast buck

in Hong Kong these days?

As an agent

I'm sure you know this

Buy low, sell high. That's how you make a profit

You think you'll make money every time?

If it were so easy, everyone would be Li Ka Shing

Oh God, you're just as stubborn as your father

Look at Shih Wing Ching

He started out as an agent

See where he is now. Chairman of a listed company

What about you, buddy?

Bill, please

Okay, a second please

So what's wrong with being honest and working hard?

Thanks

You're really something...

Take a look

Best selling property agents Gordon & Lucy

have long kept a low profile

But were in the limelight at tonight's awards show...

Look at them

And look at us

We might be all right for now

But we're already thirty. Not young anymore

Do you really want to have noodles every day?

Look at them

They work very hard... Hard like an ox

Listen, to get rich, to make it big

you won't get there with this company

you're done

That's it

Sorry, the number you've dialed cannot be reached, please try again later

"Are you asleep? I miss you"

"Things have been rough at work"

"I work hard, but I can't get anything going"

Shermaine

Are you okay?

I thought work was everything to you

I know

I was always working. Didn't have the time to be with you

If I were as rich as Terrance

you wouldn't leave, right?

Can you please stop saying this

We're over

I shouldn't have called

Don't be stupid

He's married! Why do you still throw yourself at him?

He's just toying with you!

Don't ever text or call me again

"Ho Feng Property breaks sales record"

We could also expand into resales

What's wrong with that?

Our clients are reputable and exclusive

what would they think of us

if they found out?

Our company's success and credibility

do you know how we achieved it?

Instead of coming up with shortcuts

you should think of ways to win the developers' confidence

Yes, the economy may be bad

but we're all in the same boat

we'll either rise or sink together

We're at rock bottom, we can't sink any lower

Watch your tone. Who do you think you're speaking to

Also, don't drag us down

to the levels of Ho Feng Property

Drag us down? You're joking

They're "Best Real Estate Agency"

They've won three years in a row. What about us?

- We're nothing - Enough!

Given the condition of your father, I thought you would be more sensible.

But you're still the same

Didn't you want an advance on your salary?

I might have to rethink that

"Your interview appointment is set"

Hello, Mr Lok

- Charlie - Hello, Charlie

Have a seat

So, tell me about yourself

Sure

Excuse me. This is my CV

I don't want to know

what's already written here

I want to hear how you sell yourself

Of course

I graduated from HKU with a major in marketing

I went into agency work right after graduation

I was in residential, commercial, and

international real estate. I've closed 200 deals

I am "Top 5" in sales for 4 consecutive years

I work hard. Good with strategy

And I value team work

Sorry

Listen, Charlie

I don't think you'll be a good fit for our company

Did I say anything wrong?

I told you I didn't want to hear

what is already written here

I don't need a resume

I need a salesperson who can really sell

I understand

I won't waste your time, Mr Lok

Young man

Let me ask you a question

How far are you willing to go to make a deal?

I'll do whatever you need me to do

Excuse me

Hello

Are you sure?

Okay

She'd like to see you

Who is she?

Lucy

Go ahead

I just want you to know

you still have a choice

You'll understand one day

Good luck

You've been "Top 5" salesperson for so many years

You should already have a car like this by now

How could I afford this?

I know

Money has been tight

because of your father's illness, hasn't it?

Since you're applying to work for us

we do extensive background checks

But you're not yet one of us

that'll depend on how you do later

Hello

Charlie

Hello

Hello, Mr Wong

Our asking price is already low

Mr & Mrs Wong, what do you think?

What do you think, dear?

We like this unit very much

But we just don't like the price

The price is negotiable

Why don't we take another look at the view?

Joey

Fin Fin is mine

Joey is a good girl

Here's a gift for you, okay?

All right, go on now

Mrs Lok, I was just in the room

I'm just wondering, is there anything wrong here?

But we've already priced it lower than the market

No, just now I thought

You don't have to tell me

Why don't you go and tell them?

Mr and Mrs Wong

Charlie has something to share with you

Another customer's just called. He likes the unit

He's ready to put down the deposit today

I see

But if Mr & Mrs Wong could offer an extra 10 percent

he will probably give up the unit

That means there's no room for bargaining

I don't think that's what Charlie means

Right, Charlie?

Joey, do you like it here?

I like him

Awesome

Look, she's smiling

Not my cup of tea

Hey, time to wake up

Shermaine is gone

We've just closed a sale

Shouldn't we celebrate?

Hey, hold on. Please

I thought I was the one that closed the deal

Where's the "we" in all this?

All right, I get it

So, this is how it is

Thank you

For what?

You know what for

- Bottoms up - Jerk

Hey, they're still looking

All right, watch me

You're good

Sorry?

Lucy says you're smart

Good at keeping your mouth shut

Good at minding your own business

Welcome to the team

lam glad

that you know

how we play the game in this business

Very good

Here you go

- Thank you, Mr Lok - Give it your all

I know. I will give my best

To be honest with you

I still feel

Lucy was too hasty in making this decision

But she insisted you deserved this

So, congratulations

The furniture is all yours

You can switch them out or keep them

It's up to you

Sure

Thanks

Wow, you babe magnet

Your ride is real cool

It's okay

I've got a good deal for you

The owner is desperate

He's going to let this go fast and cheap

Good rental income. Excellent yield

Wait. This?

I was expecting something better

We've been buddies forever. Have I ever duped you?

Come, let's go take a look

Hold on...

I still have to take a look?

If you don't need to, then it's a done deal

I trust you

Hello, Charlie

Hello, Mrs Wong

There's something going on here

I don't know how to say it, but

I sense something strange

in the house

Mrs Wong, maybe you're just tired from the move

Also, it takes time to get use to a new house

No, it's not like that

Can you tell me whether my unit is new?

Has anything ever happened here before?

Mrs Wong, please hold on for a sec

Mrs Wong, I've got to go. Call you back later?

Hello

Mummy, what's going on?

Are you okay?

Okay. Mummy is all right

We will be all right

Shermaine

Charlie

Why are you here?

You work here now?

Yes

It's been a while

Yes

You look like you're doing well

- Thanks - The shares

climbed over 200 points. That's when I sold

- So you won big - It's okay

Charlie! Come

Let me introduce you

This is my classmate and buddy, Terrance

Charlie

Hello

- This is - I'm Shermaine

- Yes, Shermaine - We already know each...

Shermaine! Hello

Charlie

Come, let's all take a seat

Charlie

Terrance and Shermaine are looking for a villa

It has to be bright and relaxing

quiet and far from the city

because they're

expecting a baby soon

By the way, Shermaine, when is the baby due?

Mid-August

- Terrance, you've been a rascal - Only sometimes

Excuse me for a second

Okay

So, do you prefer a boy or a girl?

- What say you? - Twins!

You're early

Give me one too, thanks

Hey, I have an idea

It's really simple

Buy low, sell high

One after another. Most importantly

let's find a cash-starved owner every time, and we're all set

The owner has to be desperate for him to sell cheap

and for us to be at the right time, right place to buy

What's up with you?

Where're you going? I just got here

I've scheduled a showing for Shermaine

A showing?

A high-class villa

Far away from the city

But how is she going to afford it?

You've been quiet the whole evening

Are you all right?

Are you still worried about this place?

It will be all right. Don't worry

I've been busy the whole day. I'm tired

I need to go to bed

Be a good girl. Wait for mummy here, all right?

Wow! It's beautiful

I've known you for seven years

I know your taste

Again?

Okay, we're over

I know that

The property is more than 8000 square feet

There are 7 rooms, 4 upstairs and 3 downstairs

There's a garden outside

I met Dr Kwan yesterday

He told me even though your father is still in a coma

his condition is no longer critical

I want you to find healing too, Charlie

Let's look at the rest

See how big the kitchen is

It suits you. I know you like to cook

This gift comes with the house

Oh... so generous

There are 4 rooms here. This is the smallest

Smallest, really?

It feels a bit chilly though

This is the master bedroom

It's so spacious

It even comes with a balcony

It's not exactly pricey

And it's close to your work

Yes, I'm at the house

Of course it's beautiful

Especially the kitchen

You know I love blue

Also, there are 4 rooms here

And it's not just for Nathaniel

It's for Ann and Peter, too

And the master bedroom...

We can sleep with the baby

Charlie!

Terrance says we're buying

I'm so happy!

Shermaine

Why don't I show you a few more villas?

No need. Terrance and I like this one

You'll get your commission

I'll get my villa. It's a win-win

Thanks a lot, Charlie

What took you so long in the shower?

Did you take my hairdryer?

What?

Are you cooking something?

- It smells burnt - No, I'm not

Can you go and check the kitchen?

You go. I have to finish eight reports

MY report!

Oh, please... no...

Queenie

Queenie!

What is it?

Where did that wheelchair come from?

Hey, where are you going?

- We're leaving - We don't even want the furniture

Hang on, I can lower your rent

- You go check yourself - You'll know if you stay the night

Come on, really?

What've you girls been up to?

Excuse me, I'm the owner of this place

Hello, I am...

Have we met before?

You are an agent from the company

I'm in accounts

I'm in charge of the company's payroll

I know you are the golden boy

So if I offend you, I'll have a hard time with my pay

You've offended me already

You took so long to come over

Tell me, what can I do to make it right by you?

How about a ride in your new car?

It's true. My car is a babe magnet

Sorry?

Shall we?

Sure

"Don't ever let this befall you"

"Agent found dead, possible suicide"

- Why are you following me? - No

I put all my money in that flat

Now everyone think it's haunted

Nobody wants to rent or buy it

- I'm dead - Stop kidding around

There are no ghosts in this world

No, really, you have to help me

Don't you find it strange?

Why did the owner sell it at such a low price?

Hey, are you listening?

I am busy too

You're an adult. Deal with your own problems

Don't just come looking for me every time

I'll see you in a few days

So, you've made lots of money, nice car, big house

I understand. Big deal

Here's another property

Go take some pictures. List it

If you can close the deal within one week

there will be a big bonus for you

- Yes, Mr Lok - By the way

Lucy wants me to remind you

Whatever you do, do not open the fridge

I shouldn't open it just because you told me so

I would be a fool

I just want you to know

you still have a choice

You'll understand one day

"Do not withhold facts from the buyer"

"College girl dies, tragic fall"

"Little girl falls to her death, suicide?"

Joey!

Joey!

Quick, open it!

Joey! What're you doing? No!

Joey!

Honey!

Where's your conscience?

How dare you conduct this kind of business?

- What are you talking about? - What am I talking about?!

Take a good look for yourself

Our sole offer was only 10 percent of what we paid for

After all that has happened

who would buy except for him?

Do we even have a choice?

Honey, don't

Joey was just a child

How can you do this to her?

I blame myself

I couldn't even take care of my own daughter

I will remember this until the day I die

Joey is dead because of me

Please don't say that, Mrs Wong

I don't want to think about it anymore

Sell the unit for me

I don't care how much the offer is

But you must remember

to tell the buyer the truth about what happened here

Excuse me, Mr Lok

I cannot accept this price

This is the highest we can offer

It's not even a tenth of the original price

Well, that's business

Mr Cheung

If you decide to take up this offer

within the next 24 hours

please give us a call

Earnest, what brings you here?

I get it, this is how you do business

Hey, Shermaine, are you okay?

Why do you always say that when I call?

So what's up?

Are you free this Saturday?

How about dinner at my house?

Wouldn't that be awkward?

Can you please don't be like this?

Aren't we still friends?

'Friends'...

All right

I'll bring your favourite red wine

Count me out of the red

Of course, you can still drink with Terrance

All right, I'll see you then

Bye-bye

"Girl, 6, falls to her death. Parents questioned"

Charlie

What's wrong? What seems to be bothering you?

Is it because of your friend's matter?

It's simple really

He was just unhappy about the buyer's offer

Hey, everyone feels the same

Wants to see fast returns on their investments

Everything has to go the way they want

Well, this is investing

May I know who the buyer is?

Sorry

That's confidential

ls there anything wrong with our properties?

I may have seen something

Oh, really? What did you see?

Mr Wong

Do you remember Mr Wong?

His daughter, Joey, is dead

Mrs Wong called me before

Saying there was something wrong with her unit

I didn't believe her

But now, when I think about it, it seems that...

Charlie, you shouldn't get personal about this

If we had to be concerned with every customer's problem

wouldn't we be very busy?

No

I really think something is going on

I'm getting strange messages on my phone

Charlie, why must you be so negative?

Think about it. You've been in this line for some time

Surely, you've as many thankful customers as well

You just have to balance your outlook

How about this?

I'll do this for you friend

I'll ask the buyer to up their offer a bit

Is that good enough?

Cheers

Fine workmanship

Brothers... Sisters...

My intentions are pure

I'm just here to tidy up the flat

Execuse me. Forgive me

for bothering you

Sorry

Sorry, I just want to clean up the place

Let me quickly tidy up, and I'll leave at once

I'm sorry

Honey, Charlie is here

A toast to my lovely Shermaine

and our beautiful baby

in this magnificient house

Cheers!

Honey

Charlie! Gordon regards you highly

- Really? - Yes

Your future will be bright with him as your mentor

Am I right, honey?

Yes

Oh, right. How're you and the baby doing?

Quite well

Do you two know each other?

Us?

Of course not

Terrance

Charlie helped us find this house

So I thought we would invite him over as thanks

That's all

Excuse me. I've to take this

We almost got caught!

Sincerely though, I would like to say that

I'm glad you've picked yourself up so quickly

After you left, I was alone

All I had was my work

Sorry

It's all right. All in the past

So, do you like the house?

What's wrong?

What happened?

You can tell me

Did he mistreat you?

No

You won't...

You won't believe it

Tell me

A few spots in the house

particularly cold

Sometimes, the temperature drops sharply

Also, upstairs

In the last room

Strange sounds keep coming from the cupboard

Creepy noises

Don't overthink it, all right?

Many doors and windows here, so the wind gets in

And the house is old

Everthing is creaky because the wood is old

- Right? - That's not all, no

That's not all to it

Sometimes, I sense a presence

Or something hiding in a corner

I'm scared, Charlie

Please don't dwell on this

Earnest

"Fatal Fire 1967"

"Tragic fire at Tai Po Apartments"

"4 dead, 10 injured in blaze. Children blamed"

Have you fooled around enough?

Pick up the phone, Earnest

Why didn't you pick up? Are you okay?

Actually, the children

just wanted to cook for the old man

But on the night of the accident

the old man was too heavy. They couldn't carry him

They didn't cause the fire

Wow, is this for real?

The wires are a mess

Even I can tell that this is not right

We can't think of making a quick buck all the time

I'm going to check every wire

I'll fix it all

But first, I need a drink

There were something wrong with my place

Problems with your other properties

Hey, there were all your boss' listings

What did you discuss with my boss the other day?

He wanted to meet me about

a buyer who offered a tenth of my purchase price

Of course, I rejected the offer. I'm not stupid

At that time, I thought you were in with him

You'd better look into this

"Ho Feng Property"

"Hong Kong's real estate scandal, industry rocked"

Sibling rivalry fractures successful property agency!

You're a lot like him

As though the world owed you a great debt

Even if you knew something was wrong

you'll deny and cover it up

Most important is to just make money

Am I right?

So, what?

You really think I'm like your brother?

I know I was out of line

I felt guilty too

Why didn't I truly look after him

Honestly, whatever you do now, won't bring him back

He chose his own path

I know one thing now. I can't watch you

go down the same path without doing anything

You sold those haunted properties to your unsuspecting clients

Don't you feel the least bit guilty?

Those were unforeseen coincidences

Do you believe in ghosts?

Before this condo was built

this used to be a mansion that belonged to a

tycoon who had business in Southeast Asia

When the Japanese came during World War II

the mansion was turned into a prisoner-of-war camp

Many people were tortured and killed here

Even though time has passed

and a new building built over the mansion

No one is aware of this

They've all lived here happily

the tragic events that occurred

will forever stain this land

Charlie!

Charlie, no!

Charlie!

Are you okay?

What's wrong? Can't sleep?

What's the matter?

Tell me

Too many things have happened

Time for me to right the wrongs

In that case

you have to be careful

You shouldn't underestimate Gordon and Lucy

Look what you've gained from them

Car

House

And me

These aren't the things I care about

Hey, it's really late

Where are you going at this hour?

You won't see me again if you leave now

So you're the ex-boyfriend

How dare you

come over and have dinner at my house

What did you think

Now that you've made a name for yourself

you really believe Shermaine would come running back to you?

Let me tell you

She could do all the things

that my wife couldn't

Do you think I will let her go so easily

No, please

Don't ever come looking for her again

Or this will not be the end of it

Son

Yes, Dad

I don't have anything valuable to leave you

Except this watch from your grandfather

I want you to have it

You'll be fine, Dad

How're you holding up?

I'm okay

I've looked at the screenshots you sent me

It all seems like a big conspiracy

with the money going in circles

Circles?

So Kei Sheng owned the properties first

then transferred them to Ho Feng to sell

and then buying them back again at a discount?

It isn't that simple

There might be other brokers acting as middlemen

But I bet Gordon and Lucy were behind everything

Not just that

they must've an insidious formula

that exploits both the living...

and the dead

I'm beginning to think that they

have something to do with Man Hou's death

He must've found out something

How did Man Hou die?

This house used to be Man Hou's

How did you end up with it?

Man Hou was found here

with his neck broken

This mirror...

Don't touch it!

Diabolical

Very

This dark spell is from the old world

It was used to quell and surpress angry spirits

How did you come by it?

Come with me

This tattoo is a rune

It will protect you

Honey, I'm home

Dr Cheung called

you missed your appointment this morning

What's wrong? Angry because I couldn't go with you?

Did you hear me?

What's wrong? Still angry?

I had a business meeting

Come on. What're you cooking?

Are you crazy?

The baby

The baby is yours

What're you talking about?

The baby

The baby is really yours

It's yours

Are you mad?

Buy low, sell high

You're not the only one who can play this game

Come in

You wanted to see me, boss?

Yes

I wanted to ask you about the Wong's property

What about it?

They've engaged you as sellers agent?

After all that has happened

they still want you as their rep?

Yes, boss

Okay

What is the progress?

Currently, we have two buyers

Two?

Who are they?

One is Kei Sheng

Who is the other buyer?

Before the deal is finalised

the buyer would rather keep their identity private

Are you playing games with me?

For now I wish to keep their identity to myself

Stop with the games, Charlie

I'm just honouring the buyer's wishes

Okay!

What's their offer?

They're able to offer this even after the accidents?

Perhaps they're sympathetic to Joey

so they doubled Kei Sheng's offer

They got in touch with Earnest and my other clients as well

So, what're you trying to say?

Haunted properties, right? Lots of upside

I'm not surprised that another player has jumped in

It's not as if your Kei Sheng owned the game

Shut up!

Out! Get out!

You were right

Charlie is just like the rest of them

I was wrong. I won't tell anyone

I won't tell anyone, I swear

Please let me go

Hello!

Charlie!

- Carina! - Hello, can you hear me?

I think they know...

Carina!

Shermaine, let me call you later

The baby is yours

What?

The baby was yours all along

What're you talking about?

Why didn't you believe me?

The baby is really yours

Why couldn't you believe it?

I never cheated on you, never!

I never, ever cheated on you!

The baby is yours!

What're you talking about?

The doctor's diagnosis was wrong!

Shermaine!

It was you! You killed your own child!

Charlie!

I'm scared

Please come over now. Please!

I'll be right there!

Shermaine

Shermaine

Shermaine!

Shermaine!

Are you all right?

Shermaine

Shermaine

Save me

Shermaine

Let... me... die

Shermaine, it's me

What made you think I was cheating on you?

Why didn't you believe the baby was yours?

You didn't feed me, not even water

You hit me... kicked me

You know I loved you

I really loved you

I was so happy when I had your baby

But you abused me, again and again

I couldn't take it anymore!

I wanted to die!

Stop messing with her

If you must... take me!

Charlie

Charlie

I... I love... you

Charlie

Charlie

Charlie, wake up!

Charlie

Shermaine

Do you have any idea

how hard it is to be a woman?

For an old woman, it is even harder

It's a good thing I know witchcraft

Now, everybody likes the way I look

You as well, am I right?

I've made a lot of sacrifices

to maintain my appearance

You cannot buy youth with just money

Shermaine

Where is Shermaine?

What've you done to Shermaine?

This house used to belong to Gordon's ex-wife

She had money and taste

I was just Gordon's personal assistant

I'm sure you know

what happened next

In the end, Gordon chose to be with me

Unfortunately, we were poor

We had nothing

So I came up with an idea

to get rid of his wife

Are you crazy?

So long as we were careful, I knew that

Gordon would inherit all that belonged to her

And we could start a brand new life

work on our very own business

Charlie

Do you think you could really

take us down all by yourself

Let me tell you this

There were many like you before

I had expected it

That's why I kept this house

I kept 'her'

as my last resort!

Can you guess where I hid her body?

No!

Did you switch out the rune?

Did you switch out the rune?!!

Everyone has a choice, Charlie

I've told you before

You had a chance to choose

But you cornered me. You left me without a choice

You chose this path...

"Your interview appointment is set"

Dad!

Dad! You're awake!

Dad, I'm so happy you're okay

Dad!

So, how far are you willing to go to make a deal?
