Hey, I told you so much about monsters.

Do you believe me or not?

Gosh, that's enough.

Stop telling your stories.

I'm not telling stories.

Monsters are living around us.

It's just that ordinary people
can't see them.

Hey, I've collected lots
of information regarding this.

I'll show them to you next time.

But don't tell anyone about it.

My dad would scold me badly
if he finds out.

Gosh, Gu Qing.

It's your birthday today.

Choose someone you like from our guests.

Hey, what do you think of Liu Tianming?

Such a devoted man is so hard to find.

Right. I think Liu Tianming suits you.

He's handsome

-and he studied overseas too.
-Yes.

He doesn't care
about his dad's wealth at all.

He's working as the assistant chief
in the police station instead.

And I heard that a diamond as big

as an egg is waiting for this wife-to-be.

So what?

There's a mansion waiting for Gu Qing
in the Huangpu river too.

It's getting late.

We need to perform now.

Hurry up, Gu Qing.

Anyway, I believe it.

d Happy birthday to you d

d Happy birthday to you d

d Happy birthday to you d

d Happy birthday to you d

I love you.

Happy birthday.

Happy birthday.

Surprise.

Gu Qing.

-Will you marry me?
-No.

That's great!

What?

What?

-Gu Qing, don't be mad.
-Zuo Han.

-Do well in the performance.
-How are the party preparations tonight?

Sir, don't worry. It's all...

-Dad?
-Qing'er, you're here too.

Tianming is also here.

How ridiculous.

Xuan Gang.

I...

I ran into the hunter.

It's all because you caused a big stir.

Hurry up.

Gu Qing is going to perform soon.

Gosh. You scared me.

What do you want?

What do I want?

Don't you know?

Gosh, I'm going to perform now.

Can't you endure it for a bit?

Gosh, why are you here too?

I came to...

Mr. Chen, why are you rushing us?

We're already prepared.

-We're just waiting for Mr. Huang Yongren.
-Hurry up then.

Hurry.

Please welcome Ms. Gu Qing
to perform magic.

Bravo!

Bravo!

Bravo!

Bravo!

Bravo!

Bravo!

Bravo!

Assistant Chief Liu.

An area near the hotel collapsed.

-Bravo!
-Do you want to go and check?

Mr. Gu, Mr. Huang is here.

I'll go later.

The real magic is about to begin.

That was nice, Huang Yongren!

Bravo!

Bravo!

That was nice!

Mr. Huang.

What do you think? Am I a good partner?

You're not Huang Yongren.

Let's go to the front.

Bravo!

Bravo!

What's that?

Bravo!

My friend, let me deal with him.

What's going on?

Did you see that?

I did.

I saw a pervert
who messed up the performance

and took advantage of my fianc�e.

Six Jia hours and nine chapters,
celestial and earthly movements.

Four hours and five elements,
the sun and moon as light.

Gosh, that's amazing.

-Bravo!
-Why did you interfere?

Bravo!

Bravo!

It's a sulfide. Beware of poison.

Hey!

Qing'er!

Hey, you haven't ended
your performance with a bow yet.

Assistant Chief Liu,
regarding the sewer...

I don't have time for the sewer now.

Hey, Gu Qing!

Gosh, this kid.

All right, everyone.

Thank you for coming today.

Hey, Gu Qing.

Gosh, stop chasing him.

You really didn't see anything earlier?

I did.

You performed really well.

But Huang Yongren was a bit out of line.

That person wasn't Huang Yongren.

What?

This is bad.

He even dared to sell
the tickets so expensively.

That's fraud.

Hey.

Gu Qing, I can capture him for you.

He stepped on the chemical
I threw on stage earlier.

You can only see it
if you wear this under the sun.

Hey.

Originally,

I wanted you to perform using it.

Can't you give me a compliment?

Never mind.

Why are you still the same
as when we were kids?

I'm only this way with you.

I'm mature and dignified

in front of others.

Then I'm going to start investigating
the case maturely and dignifiedly.

Go home and wait for my update, okay?

No.

This is such a rare opportunity
to see a monster.

What's the matter?

Could it be that he can fly?

Hi.

-Just call me Yu Wen.
-Very well.

You have another charge
of assaulting an officer.

You have no future now.

How can you let an ordinary person
get involved in this?

Can you tell your silly dog
to stay away from me?

Who exactly attacked you earlier?
Do you have any clues?

I'm a police officer.
Is it your place to speak?

My men will be here soon.

I was supposed to perform
with Mr. Huang Yongren,

but that person was obviously not him.

Mr. Huang Yongren has six fingers.

But the one on stage today

has only five fingers.

When I was fighting with that guy,

he kept wanting to run away.

It seems like I'm not his target.

He keeps changing his destinations

in order to lead me away from the scene.

The one he attacked

was Huang Yongren.

Huang Yongren should still be there.

Hey, you two.

It seems like he was in a hurry.

He should have other motives
for killing someone.

If my guess is right,

he'd come back here.

Be alert.

Okay.

I got something.

Come and see.

Is that him?

It's him.

It's Mr. Huang Yongren.

Is he still alive?

Move the rocks. Hurry.

I'll go left, you'll go right. Be careful.

Watch out.

You're not a hunter?

Can I be one?

Freeze! On the floor now!

You're wounded.

You need to rest.

You're also wounded?

I'm fine.

Was the one who attacked us a monster?

Why don't some people
see those black stuff?

Why are they here?

The door of the universe.

There is a faraway planet in the universe.

The monsters who live there can come here
through the door of the universe,

and possess humans.

Before their total transformation,

ordinary people can't see them.

Unless they're like me.

My ancestors were connected
to that place somehow.

Is this girl...

the one you like?

Yu Wen, I found the monsters' lair.

I think you shouldn't come tomorrow.

Some people live

in order to prolong the lives of others.

All right.

Time to soak in the medicinal bath.

Don't move around.

Please control your breathing.

Otherwise, your wound would crack open.

He's my friend.

Can I not remove this?

Sure. That's...

That's my birthmark.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

Let me help you.

Can you help me close the curtains?

Okay.

You'll regret what you just did very soon.

Actually,

I'm not that hard to talk to.

Okay.

I don't have any bad intentions either.

I just want to kill the monster.

Right.

Everyone is responsible
for killing monsters.

Kan four, Gen two.

In the Jia direction facing Geng.

It's Shanghao Hotel.

You're scared?

If you regret it now,

I can turn you into a human again,
but your wish...

As long you as fulfill your promise

and let me go to that planet,

it's fine even if I die.

It's my birthday today.

So many elites from the world
of business and politics will be here.

My dad won't cancel the party
because a monster is coming.

That monster will disguise
as a human and blend in.

What time is the party starting?

At 6 pm.

I need an identity that would
allow me to attend.

I can do that,

but why should I help you?

I'm a police officer.

I only believe in the evidence.

You only believe in the evidence.

Then tell me.

How did I get these wounds?

The only thing I care about

is to kill all the monsters.

You decide

whether you'll help me or not.

Sir, your invitation.

Sir, your invitation.

Everyone is working.

You're the only one slacking off here.

What are you looking at?

I told you so many times.

Pull yourself together.

Those who are here today
are important guests.

Yes.

Gu Qing.

Can you stop causing trouble?

You said you wanted to learn martial arts.

I asked Mr. Ye to teach you.

You wanted to learn magic.

I asked Mr. Huang to teach you.

You keep talking about monsters.

Goodness.

When will you grow up?

Be good. Go upstairs and get changed.

-Dad, the hotel isn't safe today.
-Be good, okay?

That's ridiculous.

Chief Yang and his men are all here.

This is the safest place in Shanghai.

Hey.

Mr. Yan.

Just some miscellaneous issues.

Ignore them today.

Isn't this Assistant Chief Liu?

Chief Yang.

I suspect that Huang Yongren
is already dead.

And I suspect that the one who killed him
has already blended into the party.

He's dead?

Where's his body?

I saw it in the sewer.

However, the killer took it away.

Mr. Liu.

It's good that you're motivated,

but you can't make things up
just to get credit.

We're police officers.

We need evidence.

It's an honor to meet you two.

Did you see that big hole
outside of the hotel?

I did. It's so strange.

That widow, Ms. Lin,
is going to remarry again.

I heard...

They're coming.

What are you afraid of? They're all...

Hey, what are you doing?

Are you taking advantage of me?

No.

Give me a glass of...

sex on the beach.

You're no good at all.

Move out of the way.

Yes.

He's quite handsome.

I couldn't tell that he's a fool.

Mr. Chen, you're much more likable

because you're a smooth talker.

Ma'am, you're too kind.

Mr. Yan.

Can I dance with you?

I'm sorry, I don't know how to dance.

Hey.

Stop that.

Listen.

Do you know why Mr. Yan
stays in the hotel?

Why?

I heard that after his wife passed away,

his heart aches whenever he sees

anything his wife owns.

-What?
-That's why he stays here.

Gosh, I really envy Mrs. Yan.

-Wow, she looks so nice.
-She looks great.

-Happy birthday, Ms. Gu.
-Happy birthday, Ms. Gu.

Happy birthday.

-She looks beautiful.
-She looks nice.

That's nice.

Regardless of how dazzling
that rain of gold was,

it's only 00001 percent
of Ms. Gu's beauty.

How nice.

Did you notice anything?

Everything's fine.

By the way,

the monster's essence would
leave traces on humans.

When my compass points to someone,

it means that the monster
is disguised as a human

or he has been in contact
with the monster.

Are you worried about something?

What?

I mean,

if you're not in a good mood,

you can tell me.

It's nothing.

You look very nice.

Do I look nice or do my clothes look nice?

Waiter.

While you're serving the drinks,

I already know who's suspicious here.

Aren't you busy with your tricks?

What did you find out?

I didn't do a trick.

That person who performed on stage today
released sulfide.

And my rain of gold will react
with sulfide.

I can immediately tell

who came in contact with sulfide.

Who's the most suspicious then?

It only reacted with a few people now.

But the most suspicious one is...

Chen Ci is our butler.

He works for Zuo Han.

How can he be suspicious?

I've investigated him already.

When you were performing today,

he wasn't there at all.

He might have pretended
to be Huang Yongren.

He handles the affairs backstage.

Whoever pretends to be Huang Yongren

must go through him.

But what I don't understand is...

He doesn't have any motives to do that.

There's no need for motives.

Hey.

You shouldn't take the credit this way.

Waiter.

You can't leave your stuff with others
even if you have a stomach ache.

How rude.

It's so hot here.

Mrs. Wang.

How about cooling off in my room

with the electric fan?

Goodness.

You're so busy, Mr. Chen.

How can I do that?

I still have time

to have a smoke with you.

The time it takes to smoke a cigarette

isn't enough.

Hey. Watch where you're going.

I'm sorry, sir. I...

Why is it that new guy again?

Perhaps

he also wants to find a room
and smoke with me.

Why haven't I seen you before?

When did you start working here?

I just started working today.

-I'm busy. I'll get going.
-Wait.

How busy can you be?

A guest vomited in the restroom.

Go and clean up.

-Okay.
-Mr. Wang.

Hey, Mr. Zuo.

What are you doing?

This newbie doesn't know what to do.

I'm teaching him.

He's a friend of Ms. Guo.

You should have a chat then.

I'll go clean up.

The way Ms. Guo looked at you earlier

already revealed a lot of things.

I've never seen her look
at another person that way.

We're only friends.

Okay.

Come on, baby.

Goodness.

Gosh, don't rush it.

Goodness, close the door.

Baby, here I come.

Goodness, wait.

Don't rush it.

You must be the one who's blindfolded.

You're so bad.

Baby, wait for me.

I'll be there soon.

Chen Ci offended quite a few people.

Why do you say that?

I'm sure those people did it.

Could it be one of the guests?

That's impossible. Look at this place.

Should we

seal off the scene first?

Assistant Chief Liu.

We need to wait for the forensics
before we examine the body.

Doing so will mess up the crime scene.

The body seems undamaged,

but his lips and fingers
show signs of cyanosis.

He died from anemia.

Acute anemia.

I came here with him.

However...

However, I really didn't kill him.

I just sat on the bed,

then I saw him laying there.

I don't know anything after that.

I'm not afraid to tell you
and make you laugh at me.

Chen Ci agreed to give me

some products from the hotel in private.

I wanted to get some advantages from him.

I don't have the goods yet,

so I must treat him like a god.

How can I kill him?

Regardless, she's our prime suspect now.

Yes.

Tell them to bring her
to the station for interrogation.

Gu Qing.

Huang Yongren.

Chen Ci.

This is a serial murder.

Gu Qing was attacked during lunch time.

And the killer left
traces of sulfide on stage.

Listen to me, everyone.

What I performed in the lobby today
wasn't just ordinary rain of gold.

Sulfide would react with the rain of gold
and turn into a red color.

Unfortunately, based on observations,

I can basically confirm

that the killer is among us.

Who can it be?

Section Chief Wang.

-How is that possible?
-Right.

Nonsense.

You better give me
a reasonable explanation.

Look at Section Chief Wang's hand.

His hand has the same reaction
with sulfide as Chen Ci's.

So you must be the killer.

That's your theory?

Goodness.

We had a target practice yesterday.

We still have sulfide residues

on our hands.

Is that strange?

How is that possible?

Seal off the hotel.

No one is allowed to leave
before we get some clarity on the crime.

-What?
-What?

-We can't leave?
-Right. What's going on?

-Right.
-How can they do that?

We can't delay it any longer.

The situation could get out of hand.

Right.

-What's that?
-Right.

What kind of trick is he trying to pull?

I don't think he's capable of doing that.

Who knows?

Was that a performance of some sort?

The monster might have possibly left
some bodily fluids on the scene.

Try this.

Assistant Chief Liu.

Here is the chemical you want for testing.

Qing'er.

It's from a shoe.

Not only that,

he even exposed his build.

For an adult male who's 170cm,

the gap between his steps
should be around 70cm.

And the footprints he left

for both feet has a gap of up to 77cm.

The killer's height
should be around 180cm.

Seal off the entrance and exits
and check the men around that height.

Those footprints...

Our hotel made those shoes
for our employees.

The killer is an employee.

Gather all the employees
who fit the description.

Our employees are quite young.

In order not to be taller than guests,

we're all basically below 170cm.

The only one who's 180cm tall...

It's him.

He just started working today.

He should be 180cm.

Bring that out.

What?

The chemical you used on the rain of gold
that reacts with sulfide.

The killer used sulfide for his crime.

The police had target practice.

He surely wouldn't have any reactions.

If he doesn't,

it means he's not the killer.

Obviously, he's not.

Those black bits contain sulfide.

It's him.

I remember now.

When Chen Ci and I came here, I saw him.

He kept following us.

Gu Qing.

I'm a police officer.

I only believe in the evidence.

Qing'er.

Dad.

Come home with me right away.

I still have things to do.

I'm sorry.

-Gu Qing.
-Hey, Qing'er!

Gu Qing.

Gu Qing.

Gosh, what are you going to do?

Yu Wen has nothing to do with it.

He got wounded because
he protected me in the sewer.

Gu Qing.

Can you face reality?

Do whatever you want
in normal circumstances.

But someone is dead
and you still believe him.

I do believe him.

Besides,

Yu Wen was the one who gave me
the chemical to detect blood.

If he's the killer,

why didn't he wipe his footprints
before letting you see them?

He must have been framed.

Fine. I'll do as you say

and assume that Yu Wen is innocent, okay?

I'll surely find the killer.

For tonight's party,

only invited guests
and hotel occupants can attend.

The killer must have disguised
as an employee

and blended in with the crowd
to commit the crime.

If he intentionally framed Yu Wen,

then the distance between the footprints
might have been forged.

That means we can't eliminate
the killer through height.

What's the matter?

I prepared this a long time ago
for capturing monsters.

Do I look nice?

Do you look nice?

Are you going to capture a monster

or are you going on a blind date with it?

Say that again.

I said you look nice.

This is what we'll do.

Let's split up.

Ask those responsible for cleaning

and check if they found an employee's
uniform in the guests' room.

I'll check the names of the guests
and employees again.

Yu Wen isn't stupid enough
to prove himself as the killer indeed.

The blood traces seem to have been forged.

If we can't use the evidence,

there are too many suspects.

What is your relationship with Mr. Gu?

And what is your relationship with Ms. Gu?

When did you start working at the hotel?

I can start with those at the lobby
and those with no reactions to sulfide.

Yes, I'll use the process of elimination.

You started working here today. Why?

What exactly is your motive
for coming here?

Regardless of how dazzling
that rain of gold was,

it's only 00001 percent
of Ms. Gu's beauty.

When Chen Ci died, where were you?

If you don't explain clearly,

you can't leave!

Where were you when Chen Ci died?

Tell me!

Be honest.

If you don't tell me, I'll execute you!

-I found it.
-It was really there?

However, Ms. Liu only said
that it's on the second floor,

not sure which room it is.

I got it.

I misunderstood.

When he performed the crime,
he wore Huang Yongren's clothes.

At the lobby, he changed
into party clothes.

Those with no chemical reactions
are still suspicious.

There's only one person

who stayed on the second floor

and not at the lobby.

Let's go.

Stop!

Stop what you're doing!

I can't believe it's you.

Why?

It's not too late yet.

I can turn you back into a human.

You can help me.

You're a monster hunter, you can do it.

If Yu Shuang is still alive,

I'm sure she doesn't want
to see you this way.

You also want Yu Shuang to live, right?

You want to resurrect her?

I'm begging you.

Turn me into a monster,

so I can find the door of the universe,

and save Shuangshuang from that planet.

Have you gone crazy?

Becoming a monster wouldn't enable you
to find the door of the universe.

No one knows what the door
of the universe looks like.

Stop what you're doing.

I can turn you back.

Trust me.

So you won't help me.

Mr. Yan!

She was your sister.

You let her do such a dangerous thing.

You should be the one who died, not her!

Yes!

How I wish that I was the one
who died that day.

But you know what?

She insisted on going there that day

because you were passing by that place.

She wanted to protect you!

You'd drag a lot of people down!

Stop right now.

Every time you kill someone,
you'd become even more like a monster.

-Becoming a monster,
-Shut up!

-you'd lose your loyalty too.
-It's all your fault.

It's all because you're incapable.

For the sake of Shuang'er,

I'm begging you.

Stop this.

For the sake of Shuang'er,

I'll complete

what you cannot do.

Goodbye, my old friend.

Yu Wen, I found the monsters' lair.

I think you shouldn't come tomorrow.

Since you're already married,

just go back to a normal life.

Yu Wen.

Look at that frosty smile.

It's like the spring breeze.

What about you?

It's like a cold, howling wind.

Hey, Mr. Yan.

Your element is wood.

You're a bit boring too.

Yu Wen, Lingxiao isn't boring.

I think you're the boring one.

That's right. My element is wood.

Hey, I'll come with you tomorrow, Yu Wen.

Tomorrow, Lingxiao will pass by that area
when he delivers goods tomorrow.

Yu Wen, you're going out
of the city tomorrow?

Three,

two.

From now on, protect my sister well.

Otherwise, you're going to get it.

Yu Wen, don't worry.

I'll surely make Shuangshuang happy.

That girl is the same person
in Yu Wen's family photo.

This is the guest information
registered at the door.

Why are their Bazis also indicated?

Perhaps your dad wants to find someone
that matches your Bazi.

Why would Mr. Yan collect these?

This is the blueprint for this place.

Huang Yongren.

Chen Ci.

And me.

Gu Qing.

This person is very dangerous.

You should listen to Mr. Gu.

Leave this place first.

If he can attack me once
while pretending to be Huang Yongren,

he can do it again.

If we can't stop him here,

I won't feel at peace my entire life.

Even if I still don't believe
in ghosts and monsters,

it seems like we only have one option.

Let's go and find that shaman.

Yu Wen.

Yu Wen.

It's Yan Lingxiao.

He hit me and I fainted.

Don't mind me.

-Go and...
-It's Chief Yang.

The key!

Liu Tianming.

Section Chief Wang.

You...

Mr. Yan.

It's you.

You all...

Section Chief Wang.

I happened to pass by just now

and I heard...

It seems like they were arguing
with Chief Yang.

Then they fought and...

That's a lie!

Chief Yang died from dehydration.

Aside from those chemicals of yours,

who can accomplish that
in such a short amount of time?

Mr. Yan.

See if I...

Take them all away!

Qing'er.

Qing'er.

Qing'er.

Come here.

Come over here.

Don't be with that killer.

Dad.

Come here.

Section Chief Wang, capture that jerk.

-Dad, he's not a killer!
-Sir. Qing'er is all grown up. Trust her.

Scram!

She's my daughter, not yours.

Gu Qing, be careful.

Where did that dog come from?

Let's go.

Tianming, I'll take Gu Qing away first.

Cover us.

Why would I do that?

Capture them!

We must capture the one
who killed Chief Yang!

-Yes!
-Yes!

Find them!

Send everyone.

No matter how much money we spend
and how many people we hire,

we must find Qing'er!

Yes, sir.

Sir, I'm sorry. Just now, I...

Stop.

I was out of line too.

I just hope

that Qing'er is safe.

I went from the assistant chief of police

to a wanted criminal

in only one day.

I'm sorry.

It's fine.

No, Gu Qing. I'm not blaming you.

I don't even understand the motive
of the killer until now.

I feel a bit down.

Mr. Yan did it for his wife.

It's you, right?

What?

"Some people live

in order to prolong the lives of others."

You were talking about yourself, right?

You've been living for your sister's sake.

You guys aren't thinking
of resurrecting her, right?

Resurrecting her?

Is that possible?

I don't know what possessed him either.

He thinks that if he turns into a monster,

he can find the door of the universe,
and resurrect my sister.

I think someone is using him
to accomplish something.

Perhaps it's related to
the door of the universe.

What are you looking for?

I'm looking for a way to save him.

Will he continue killing people then?

You said

that you found all the guests' Bazis
in his room.

Yes.

Where is it?

There's a logic to the victims' Bazis
and the way they die.

-Bazi?
-I got it.

Chen Ci was born at 6 pm.
of the 12th lunar month.

His element is metal.

Tianming said that he died
from acute anemia.

The iron in his blood
must have been sucked out.

Chief Yang was born on August 5, 3 pm.

His element is water.

The water in his body
was sucked out when he died.

Mr. Huang Yongren's element is fire.

I was born on April 2, 1913
at around midnight.

My element is wood.

Okay.

The Five Element Fusion Formation.

Shanghao Hotel is
the location of the formation.

I see.

I get it now.

As long as we can find the pattern,

we can confirm the location
of the next victim.

Right.

The ground floor lobby,
where Gu Qing performed.

The ground floor guest room
was where Chen Ci died.

The second floor
was where Chief Yang died.

Shaman.

Can you make these two sheets
of paper float?

Yes.

I found it.

Really?

Just by looking at the blueprint,

it seems like the venues
of the killings aren't related.

But from this angle,

it looks like a pentagram.

I got it. The basement.

That's right.

Incredible!

This structure is
a natural energy formation.

By using a specified technique
at a specified time

to collect the five elements
from five people,

he can activate the formation
and turn into a monster.

Now, he only needs earth and wood.

No.

My dad's element is earth.

There are two basements.
Which one is the earth element?

Never mind. Let's go there first.

Gu Qing, you and Xuan Gang stay here.
Let's go.

-Hey! You...
-I...

-Well...
-Good dog, take care of her.

I'll give you some meat later.

Hey, Liu Tianming.

Don't worry, I'll surely find your dad.

Wait for me.

Hurry! Stop dilly-dallying.

Okay.

I really hope what you said isn't true.

It's Huang Yongren.

What a shame.

There's only one last place to search.

I hope Mr. Gu is fine.

Let's go to the cellar.

Ms. Gu.

Mr. Zuo?

Mr. Gu.

We're too late.

Mr. Zuo.

Sir.

Sir.

Sir.

Sir.

Sir.

Sir.

No.

Gu Qing.

Gu Qing.

Hey.

Come with me.

Perhaps I can still save you.

You shouldn't save me.

You should have saved

Shuangshuang instead.

You know what?

Shuangshuang said that

there are two happiest things in her life.

First.

She was your sister.

Second.

She married me.

Shuangshuang.

I'm coming to see you.

I'm sorry.

Where's my dad?

Sir.

-Dad?
-Sir.

Dad!

Dad.

Dad.

Dad.

Dad, I'm back.

Dad, I'll be good, okay?

Wake up.

Dad, wake up.

I'll be good. Wake up, Dad.

Wake up.

What's going on?

Not only Gu Qing has the element of wood.

Mr. Yan was the same.

Gu Qing, be careful!

Don't shoot.

Be careful.

My goodness.

Shaman, where did you go?

Shaman, behind you!

Yu Wen.

Ms. Gu, be careful.

Six Jia hours and nine chapters,
celestial and earthly movements.

Four hours and five elements,
the sun and moon as light.

Can you still run?

Not a big deal.

Now, the monster has fully transformed.

My Xuling gun is already
useless against him.

I want to perform an even bigger
natural energy formation. Help me.

Okay.

Ms. Gu.

Qing'er.

Six Jia hours and nine chapters,
celestial and earthly movements.

Four hours and five elements,
the sun and moon as light.

Six Jia hours and nine chapters,
celestial and earthly movements.

Four hours and five elements,
the sun and moon as light.

Six Jia hours and nine chapters,
celestial and earthly movements.

Four hours and five elements,
the sun and moon as light.

Gu Qing is the door to the universe?

Six Jia hours and nine chapters,
celestial and earthly movements.

Four hours and five elements,
the sun and moon as light.

Qing'er, stop!

Or you'd die!

How would we know if we didn't try?

Qing'er!

Six Jia hours and nine chapters,
celestial and earthly movements.

Qing'er, stop!

Qing'er.

Qing'er.

Qing'er.

Qing'er.

Qing'er.

She's gone.

Qing'er is gone.

She's still breathing.

When will she wake up then?

I'm not sure either.

Sirs.

What happened to Qing'er?

Mr. Zuo, let me bring her to my teacher.

Perhaps he can save her.

Qing'er has already lost her dad.

I can't let anything happen to her.

What she needs the most at the moment
is the best doctor in Shanghai.

After she's stable,

you both can come and visit her.

Gu Qing will be fine, right?

Right.

Hey.

I think we're quite in sync.

Yes.

I want to learn
how to capture those monsters.

You'd teach me, right?

Save it. You don't have the talent.

You're right.

You're such an annoying person.

You're always pretending
to be so cold and arrogant.

I really don't get
why Gu Qing fell for you.

I'm thinking

that Mr. Zuo's timing is too coincidental.

What's coincidental about it?

Is there a problem when human instinct
made him find a place to hide in?

He's an ordinary person.

Isn't it normal for him to hide?

I remember now.

When I was following Chen Ci,

I watched Ms. Gu grow up.

Then Chen Ci died.

I came here with him.

I just sat on the bed,

then I saw him laying there.

When we escaped
from the interrogation room,

it seems like Zuo Han
was helping Gu Qing escape.

Capture that jerk.

Sir, trust Qing'er. She's all grown up.

-If she did something wrong...
-Scram!

Actually, he wanted to lure us
and the people away.

Capture them!

We must capture the one
who killed Chief Yang!

The main point

is that when Mr. Gu died,

Mr. Yan was with Gu Qing.

- Gu Qing.

So, the person who's giving instructions
to Mr. Yan

is Zuo Han.

So his final objective is...

The door of the universe.

I'm sorry, Qing'er.

I want

to go home now.

Though I do think footage

of invading hobos
has a certain xenophobic power

when front-paged in the Times
and backed by those tacky billboards.

Shelly got a chance to direct,
and I canceled your $12,000 gambling debt.

I'd call that a fair return
on a one-minute lecture

for uninspired studio chieftains.

Your director's been stricken
with a bout of conscience.

I'm sure he'll tell me himself.

Don't do this, Irving.

When I was just a boy passing out
socialist leaflets in the Bronx,

a couple Tammany goons came
to show me the error of my ways.

And one of them crushed my testicles

until I volunteered to distribute
my wares into the East River.

That's politics. I didn't invent it,
I don't apologize for it.

Mayer's not paying for this.

He never pays for anything.

Willie?

-Marion might be interested.
-Well, you're gonna have to hurry.

Mayer's over there now
giving her the company kiss-off.

Haven't you heard?

She's taking her playpen
to Warner Bros. Permanently.

Warner's?

I wouldn't let her do Marie Antoinette.

Goldwyn's right for once.

"A comedienne in that role is to laugh."

Besides, her pictures
haven't made a dime in a decade.

Congratulations, Irving.

I know what I am, Mank.

When I come to work,
I don't consider it slumming.

I don't use humor
to keep myself above the fray.

And I go to the mat for what I believe in.
I haven't the time to do otherwise.

But you, sir,

how formidable people like you might be
if they actually gave at the office.

Close the door.

that's a beautiful shot right there.

Mank! Are you okay?

No, that almost killed me.
Where's Willie?

Cairo, I think.

-Can you phone him?
-I don't phone him, he phones me.

When's he due back?

After November 6th.
I'm joining him in Europe next week.

Marion, I need a favor.
It's just a little joke on Willie.

Sure, Mank, anything.

I want you to go back and tell Mayer

Willie wants
the phony Sinclair films pulled.

Which phony Sinclair films?

There isn't time to explain.
I just need you to tell him that.

I couldn't, not even as a joke.

- Why not?
- You know I don't lie.

And that's why he'd believe you.

Marion, please,
you're not in convent school anymore.

-I'm sorry. I� I know it's silly, but--
-But what? Why not?

-Promise you won't laugh.
-I promise I won't laugh.

-My exit.
-What?

I already made my exit.

- Manky!
- Whatie?

-It's an ash-throated flycatcher!
-Congratulations! Best kind.

What can I say?

She's my aunt.

It's not about her, it's about him.

-Or rather, it's him, but it's not her.
-It isn't?

The lonely showgirl, trapped in a castle,
doing jigsaw puzzles.

It's more, her as people
who don't know her imagine her to be.

I see.

It's her as they imagine her,
but it's him as you knew him.

-Damn it, Charlie.
-You asked me out here.

I was honored
to come and read your latest.

-Is this a test?
-A test? Of what?

- Friendship? Loyalty?
- Come now.

Or just your way
of avoiding responsibility?

What do you mean?

Are you hoping I might absolve you
of such a personal betrayal?

I won't give you that.

Are you going to say anything?

-I have to think about it.
-Why?

'Cause I haven't made up my mind
how she might react.

What does instinct tell you?

It's mighty strong medicine

for a lifetime
of starry-eyed self-absorption.

It's one of those cures
that could be worse than the disease.

But you, of all people,
should know about that.

He took the script?

Will he show it to her?

I don't know.

Do you want him to?

I don't know.

Sinclair is yesterday's fishwrap.

Never stood a chance.

Make up your mind.

Are we home licking our wounds
or here making the best of it?

We're making the best of it.

-Good evening. Name?
-Mankiewicz.

Sorry, what was that?

M-A-N-K-I-E-W-I-C, and outta nowhere, a Z.

-Table 14.
-Ends of the earth. Clean exit.

Mankiewicz, Herman.

Terribly sorry.
Table one. Right this way.

If you can't say something nice,
don't say anything at all.

- Table one.
- Sara!

Good grief. Look who's here.
How about that?

- Sara.
- What a loyal friend you are.

-I never thought we would see Mank.
-I'm surprised.

I would've imagined you in pajamas by now.

Mank, turns out we have
the same dentist on Camden.

Sara, we have to plan
a day of shopping and catch up.

Herman, I met your brother.
He's a chip off the old block.

Quite handsome.

Please, sit.

I can't tell you how much it means.
I'm touched you'd come.

Thank you.

Why do I love you?

What's everyone else having?

- What a great night. Great result.
- I'll drink to that.

You see, if you just give people
what they need to know

in an emotional way,
you can expect they'll do the right thing.

I think what you mean,

"If you keep telling people
something untrue,

loud and long enough,
they're apt to believe it."

That's not what he was saying.

What's going on here?
Are we quoting Goebbels?

- I'd like to debate that with LB.
- I'd like to see that.

Mank. Have another.

It's early. Every vote counts.

Maybe the informed
of California were late leaving work.

The last I heard, Irving,
it's still a democracy.

-Of the people.
-By the people.

What are you two talking about?

I tell you what, how about�

double or nothin'?

- What's he saying?
- Herman.

You really will bet on anything.

Keep your money. I'm happy enough

just to nail
that utopian son of a bitch to the wall.

I told you. Your obligation
was canceled out of gratitude.

Wait a minute. What?

He wants to wager double or nothin'
on a debt he doesn't even owe us?

Mank.

It's a matter of principle, LB.
You wouldn't understand.

I understand plenty. I'll take that bet.

Okay, Mank, you're on.
Twenty-four grand or nothing.

Excuse me.

I'm going to throw up.

I needed some air.

Why do you love me?

Excuse me, friends.

The final, incomplete, count
for tonight is�

Upton Sinclair, the lousy Bolshevik�

�728,653.

Frank Merriam�

�the good Republican,

948,814.

My friends! My friends!

Everybody get up and sing with me!

Sing with me! Everybody, up and sing!

d O beautiful for spacious skies d

It was a team effort. Thanks.

d For amber waves of grain d

d For purple mountain majesties� d

Mr. Mankiewicz,
I'm so sorry to bother you,

but there's a telephone call for you.
Right back this way.

d America� d

-Hello.
-Mank, it's Shelly.

It's Shelly.

- He lost, Mank.
- Yeah, it's been a bad night.

It's my fault.

- Easy, fella, you only voted once.
- He was just on the radio.

He said the phony newsreels
cost him the election.

That shows how naive he is.

FDR cost him the election
by staying on the sidelines.

-Sleep it off.
-I'm not at home.

Where are you? Let me call you a cab.

Never mind.
I'll take the Pasadena Freeway.

Nobody'd be on it election night.

Hello?

Hello?

- How may I direct your call?
- Normandie, 4761.

He's shit-faced.

Shell, is that you?

It's Herman Mankiewicz. Where is he?

I don't know. I'm so worried.

He left here very upset,
and he's got a pistol with him.

Don't worry, Fay. I'll find him.

-Eve.
-What?

-I'm Eve. Fay was his first.
-I'll find him.

Is Houseman coming back?
I never thought I'd miss him.

He and the wunderkind
are cutting the first draft.

A form of creative vivisection.

Vital organs are exposed,
nothing is learned,

the patient dies on the table.

What have we here?

Why, it's a puffed-up,
sharp-tailed, red-ruffled magpie.

A whatie?

-How do you like the Mojave?
-God's answer for drunks and reprobates.

Perfect place to dry out.

-How's that working?
-It didn't take. Cheers.

L'chaim.

Why are you doing this, Herm?

-Posterity.
-Posterity, my ass.

-From the original Latin.
-Don't patronize me.

My Latin grades were better than yours.

Bibamus, moriendum est.

I read your little script.

News travels fast.

Even without the title page,

you don't need
to be Philip Marlowe to know who wrote it.

Have at it.

It's very�

complicated.

Well, thanks for coming out.

Herman, this is me.

You pick a fight with Willie,
you are finished.

Mayer can't save you. Nobody can.

Especially the boy genius from New York.

-You're far too political, Joe.
-Self-preservation is not politics.

Him, I get.

But what did Marion ever do
to deserve this?

It's not her!

You know better than anyone,
not all characters are headliners.

Some are secondary.

Well, that's why I'm here.
On behalf of the secondary characters.

I thought you'd wanna know
there's a rumor in town

you're out to get Hearst

because they dropped you
from LB.'s payroll,

that they didn't want you around anymore.

Don't believe everything
you hear at Schwab's.

Hey, you made yourself court jester.

Someone had to say it.

People are speculating Rosebud
is WR.'s pet name for Marion's genitalia.

Now, I know you'd never stoop to that.

Only because I hadn't heard.

Charlie tells me
you're up for Thalberg's old job.

- Not anymore.
- Did I bollix that?

Don't flatter yourself, Herman.
I did it all alone.

Now, there's a first.

I exposed myself,
not entirely metaphorically, in court.

Do tell.

Somebody was bitching about Mervyn LeRoy
running over budget on Wizard of Oz.

-Goddamn movie again.
-I said, "Le Roy s'amuse."

I was then forced to spend
the next 20 minutes

having to explain that "Le Roy"

is "le roi" in French
and means "the king."

Or to be specific, Fran�ois I,

and his royal habit of s'amus-ing himself

by diddling all the ladies of his court.

You know, Pop was right.
You should've been a professor.

Nobody knew
what the fuck I was talking about.

They say I was passed over
because I'm not a team player.

But I know better.

It was the goddamn French pun
that did me in.

I'm washed up, Joe.

Have been for years.

It's the best thing you've ever written.

A rare bird, that.

A Mankiewicz.

-You can't do it that way.
-Do what?

Kill yourself. I've tried. It takes years.

I was tired of doing inserts
and pick-up shots.

You're not the first person
to trade integrity

for a chance in the big chair.

Thalberg said this was your idea.

Sometimes my asides
are too clever by half.

Go home to Fay.

-Eve.
-Eve. Sorry.

Look at what we did.
We can't un-ring this bell.

We have to be vigilant.

In regards to?

People sitting in the dark,

willingly checking
their disbelief at the door.

We have a huge responsibility.

I got it.

Got what?

Parkinson's.

No, Shelly.

I'm so sorry.

First, you get the tremors,

and your muscles begin to fail.

Pretty soon, you can't get out of a chair.

Then smiling, speaking,

everything goes.

And it keeps going till�

You could always produce.

Give me the gun, Shelly.

Take 'em,

Go on home. I'll be fine.
