Original subtitles

Sister,

I think I can decode the mistery about

where you come from if I come to Shangshui Town.

Never thought

here are taboos everywhere.

I am falling into deeper fog.

maybe I won't go back to your side anymore.

However,as a reporter,

seeking for truth

is the meaning of my life.

I just hope sister

never come here to find me.

Du Jiahao.

Du Jiahao.

My lady,

I can only send you here.

Go through the forest

is the Shangshui Town.

Forgive me Lord Water Monkey.

Little girl is so ignorant

that she talks nonsense.

Forgive me Lord Water Monkey.

Little girl is so ignorant

that she talks nonsense.

Who let you say that?

You deserve it that you offend

Lord Water Monkey.

You are disobeying the Lord's order.

Forgive me Lord Water Monkey.

Forgive me Lord Water Monkey.

Forgive me.

Who you really are?

Where are you from?

Who you really are...

Ah...

When I was six years old.

My adoptive father saved me from a coffin beside the river.

From that day on,

my name is Du Jiajia,

the daughter of Inspector Du,

who is the leader of Shanghai Patrol.

Ms.Du has arrived.

But who I actually am,

where I come from?

I can remember nothing.

Later,

I work as a forensic in Shanghai Patrol.

Because I dissected my adoptive father's body with my own hands,

I became famous that I solved my Inspector Du's murder case.

Just two month before,

I received couple of empty letters.

Addresser,

unknown.

But I found that

the pendent was just same as the letters before

were all sent from the town which name is Shangshui Town.

It seems that the sender

has some deep meaning inside.

Sister,

Shangshui Town is far away,

I can go there for you.

That's it,

my only family is missing as well.

Why my brother's reporter's medal is on his body?

I...

How can I know.

Calm down.

My Lady.

Calm down,calm down.

I am the mayor of Shangshui Town-Yin Xiaotian.

May I ask you

are you Du Jiajia,

Doc.Du?

Yes,I am.

I have received the official letter from Shanghai Patrol,

they want me to help you with your investigation.

Doc.Du,

come here please.

Why my brother's reporter's medal

is on that people's body?

This...

I don't know,

maybe

he stole it.

So how did he die?

He must violate taboos.

Am I right,mayor?

There is a mythical creature in the river of our town.

Villagers respectfully call him Lord Water Monkey.

If you worship him,he will keep your whole family safe,

while if you offend him,bad luck and punishment will come to you.

What Lord Water Monkey?

That's not matter that you don't respect mayor,

how dare you say gaffes and blunders to Lord Water Monkey.

My Lord can hear anything.

Am I right,mayor?

Calm down.

It's just

old custom.

However villagers afraid of him.

I am just a small local officer

with no power and force.

I can do nothing.

Doc.Du,

come here please.

Your brother lived here before,

I haven't see him for a long while.

Does he

go somewhere away?

Born beside water,

grow up beside water.

Doc.Du,

are you alright?

You...

Have you

see anything?

Villagers say that there is something ghostly

in this cottage.

When is Jiahao disappeared?

Couple of month.

I don't know exactly.

Has he offend someone?

Your brother

seems like a scholar

who talks

very kind.

He is not like the person who will offend others.

But he has a bad habit.

He likes snooping news.

Is there

any trouble with snooping news?

That will violate taboos.

You can't snoop the news about

the Lord Water Monkey.

Excuse me,

give me a hand please.

The goods here we better...

Come on.

Okay,okay.

Mayor,

if there is nothing to do,

I will leave here right now.

Clam down.

Ah...

You...

Mayor,

I'll stay here for now.

Ah Ah,

Okay,okay.

If you have any information about my brother,

please inform me immediately.

I will.

You can have a rest now,

I...

Farewell.

Sister

Only you serve me with food.

From now on,

I am your brother.

I have brother.

I am looking for him.

Then I am your brother

Have you seen the oblation out there?

They are served to the ghost.

Ah...

The bone flute ringing,

the Lord Monkey coming.

The water monkey is coming.

Ah.

Water monkey.

Someone makes mysteries purposely.

My Lady,

you better go after finishing the soup.

Someone said that my brother's reporter medal was stolen by others,

but it seemed really weird.

The goods more worthy than that hasn't lost.

Little Liu,

tell me the reason.

It's not government offices here,

no one can settle a lawsuit,

don't disrupt others

opening for business.

Let's go,

I won't move

if you don't tell me the truth.

Humph,

Brother Jiahao snooped the news of water monkey everywhere,

all the people who talked to him,

were revenged by water monkey.

Who have seen the real water monkey here in Shangshui Town?

The people saw him all dead.

I must find my brother.

Go,quickly.

Go inside.

Do I let you out?

Who is she?

She is Dumb,

acts as a lunatic every day.

The people in town all dislike her.

That is her husband,

Wang Erma,

who is making coffins.

Aunt Wang said,

Dumb had the fate with ghosts and gods,

who can help her with memorial service.

So she became the wife of Wang Erma.

Who?

Mr.Hu.

I come here

just want to tell you clearly that

my brother is not a thief.

That medal

was a gift from your brother.

This camera,

he sacrified his life

and found it back.

Mr.Hu,

my brother has no friends.

Your brother was so brave

that he wanted to find out water monkey.

My brother admired him,

so when the reporter was missing,

he kept finding the reporter.

Therefore,he lost his life.

Disrupting water monkey,

you have no way to survive.

Hu Daning.

Ah

Help.

Ah

Where is he going with such heavy rain.

Sister.

Little Liu,

Sister,

The Hus only talked few words with me,

they all dead.

It's my own business to find the truth.

I must find my brother.

Maybe you are right.

You will only in danger with me.

That's not your own business.

We made a deal before,

I am your brother as well

before you find your brother.

Sister,

I was not afraid actually,

I just dreamed my mom,

I have no family after she gone.

Sister,

I only have you now.

I beg you,

don't leave me alone.

Sister,

what smells

so smelly?

Something has come in.

The water monkey is coming.

Ah

Can you hear that?

Sister,

I can hear the heart beat.

She is not like the ghost.

The heart rate is regular,

beats with order.

She is a people.

Little Liu.

Come.

Don't afraid.

Help yourself.

A leg

Severe muscle atrophy.

Ligaments are also damaged.

He.

Qing.

What are you saying?

Qing.

Ling.

Qing.

This is the pendent that Jiahao taken with him when he left.

How can this pendent taken with her?

This is flintstone

that people used to lift the fire when they go out for fishing.

The name sculptured on it is

a man's name.

Shuisheng.

Is this flintstone made by you?

No.

The workmanship and material is just the same as you made.

In this town

only you can make it.

Uncle Shi,

I just wander

who is the person that sculptured on it that named Shuisheng.

Sh...

You better don't ask anymore.

How many people you want to implicated?

Just because the reporter

Call Aunt Wang here now.

Okay.

Forgive me Lord Water Monkey.

Let her bear the whole punishment.

Don't let us implicated.

Forgive me Lord Water Monkey.

Forgive me.

Be quiet.

Forgive me.

The disease little girl got is malaria.

The cause of the disease is the malaria parasite not sin.

What she need is medicine and treatment,

not these mess ghost paintings.

Let her rest quietly.

Keep warm.

Excessive sweating.

Take medicine on time.

No more than a month,

she will recover soon.

Papa.

My girl.

I am hungry.

Oh,oh,oh

Well,well,well

Papa make meal for you now.

Everybody should pay attention to hygiene,

protect from mosquito bites.

The people have the same symptom as little girl,

take them to me.

There is one more thing I would like to request is that

anyone of you have the information of my brother

just let me know,please.

People can speak afraid of talking,

people can't speak

seems like there is a lot of thing want to talk.

Dumb.

Little Liu.

You wrote the letter to me.

Sister,

what does she want to say?

She put the oblation beside the well.

Yingzi,

I already helped you with those sending letters.

You promised me.

Today,you must sleep with me.

Don't you want to leave here?

Stay with me,postman Lao Zhuzui,

I can take you out here.

And I promise you have food to eat.

Lao Zhuzui.

I will must find the truth.

Multiple soft tissue injuries throughout the body.

The skin is covered with claw marks.

The neck wound is close to human tooth marks.

The murder is not a normal person.

The water monkey did this.

Jiahao was dragged over here.

Someone hide him here deliberately.

Who is that?

Dumb.

Unlucky of me.

Pooh.

There is a mythical creature in the river of our town.

Villagers respectfully call him Lord Water Monkey.

If you worship him,he will keep your whole family safe,

while if you offend him,bad luck and punishment will come to you.

Brother Jiahao snooped the news of water monkey everywhere,

all the people who talked to him,

were revenged by water monkey.

Disrupting water monkey,

you have no way to survive.

No matter what the water monkey is,

I won't let it continue hurting others.

My dad told me,

the water monkey hides in the Black Wood Forest,

that's the forbidden place of Shangshui Town.

Water monkey.

Little Liu.

How dare you

trespass into the Black Wood Forest.

These two gangsters

violate the taboos of Shangshui Town,

they must be sacrificed to Lord Water Monkey.

Sacrifice.

Let me go.

Calm down.

Calm down.

Ah

folks,

calm down.

Grand Uncle Jiu,

Doc.Du is our guest from afar.

She may not know

the custom here.

So it's human nature

that she does something wrong.

What human nature?

She is going to kill all the people in town.

How do we explain to Lord Water Monkey

if we let her go?

Ah

Grand Uncle Jiu,you are right,

but,

Doc.Du comes here is for official business.

How can I explain to my higer-up

if she has anything trouble.

I believe everyone here will get in trouble as well.

Grand Uncle Jiu,

please think over it.

Get out of Shangshui Town.

Sacrifice Little Liu.

Let go of me.

Let go of me.

Let go of me.

You are committing high treason.

Forgive me Lord Water Monkey.

Forgive me Lord Water Monkey.

How many people are you going to kill.

My brother dead here in Shangshui Town.

Am I wrong that I want to find the truth?

You fucking damn bane.

Lord Water Monkey,

he won't forgive you.

You are the one who fail to distinguish right from wrong,

know nothing about good and evil.

That's not matter that you know nothing,

while you let the whole Shangshui Town implicated.

Shut up.

You shut up.

He is the murder.

How pathetic that you sculptured the statue for him,

and let him so high above.

He is the one who kills your families,

while you consecrate him as a god.

Mom.

Doc.Du.

You.

We haven't force you to believe in god,

you can't force others not to believe it as well.

As

a mayor,

I have to considerate for my folks here in Shangshui Town.

Today,

I make a statement here,

I will catch the water monkey personly.

And if I meet something unpredictable,

there is no responsibility with Shangshui Town.

Fine.

Since Doc.Du takes her own way,

I have nothing to say.

Doc.Du.

Doc.Du.

You are here.

I just come by,

my granddaughter is waiting for me at home.

I have to go now.

Inside please.

Doc.DU,

our fellows want to

contribute some strength

to catch the water monkey.

We eight fellows are so admiring you

that we want to help you.

Don't you guys afraid of water monkey.

Yes.

Of course we afraid of him.

Very early in this town,

there was water monkey

who killed others.

But we all saw someone defeating him.

Who?

The owner of the cottage that you live in,

whose name is Shuisheng.

More than twenty years ago,

he led the villagers

and killed the water monkey.

This cellar is also

left by Shuisheng.

The mechanism drawings he designed

that used to catch the water monkey

are all here.

But why the place Shuisheng lived

become haunted house now?

After Shuisheng killed water monkey,

the town suffered with plague.

People outside all said that

is the water monkey revenged by punishing villagers.

Not long,

this family suffered the disaster of the blood light.

Many kids in town

were all missing one by one,

which I heared that they all caught by water monkey.

Every year there are children caught by water monkey.

My son.

His daughter.

Lot of children were caught

in this town.

Right.

While people are so pathetic that afraid of troubles,

are instigated by Grand Uncle Jiu and Aunt Wang on the contrary,

consecrating that beast as god.

Kill him,

revenging for the dead,

giving peace to the alive.

Right.

The well beside Shuisheng's cottage

is connected with here.

We can figure out a way

to bring the water monkey here.

Qinghe.

Qingling.

Don't afraid.

Not bad.

Help me and send it to Shanghai Patrol.

Okay.

Tomorrow,

I will appeal to the water monkey here.

You killed my brother,

my only family.

I won't let you go.

Doc.Du.

Go away.

Why you come down.

Don't go there.

Come back.

Come back.

Come back.

Come back.

Come back.

How could this be?

Someone has touched the machanism.

Run.Run now.

Yingzi.

Sister.

Born beside the water,

grow up

beside the river.

Willows

in the wind,

waves

in the rain.

Sleep,Qingling.

Mom stay with you.

Qingling,

Yes,mayor.

Finally catch him.

Ah

really

heroes.

Ah,

just like Shuisheng.

Great.

Great.

Sister,

Shanghai Patrol has replied a letter.

I had searched for you,

the body you find in the Dark Wood Forest,

the residue in the nails is all opium cream.

Other side,

the mayor-Yin Xiaotian is a charlatans

when he was younger.

He especially served concubines of emperor appreciating the vaudeville.

Calm down.

Calm down.

Doc.Du.

Grand Uncle Jiu went into the Palace since he was young,

he was the leader eunuch who served concubines of emperor.

Sacrifice.

These two people are all gangsters,

you should pay most attention on them.

Sister,

what is written in the letter.

The murderer is someone else.

Ah.

Qiuck,quick,quick.

Catch her.

We can't let her go.

Take the gun,

escape from the well,

go and find Uncle Shi.

The truth is in Black Wood Forest.

Come!

Go and fetch her!

Let her pay with her life.

Where she is?

Everthing follows its natural rules and regulations,

the reason and the consequence is a loop.

Anyone who affend Lord Water Monkey,

won't get good result.

There were tricky villagers,

Shuisheng,

Xianglan,

ignored the safety of Shangshui Town,

disrupting Lord Water Monkey,

causing the disaster everywhere here in Shangshui Town.

Our folks suffered a lot.

Now their daughter Qingling,

hiding the heart that want to hurt others,

In oder to aviod disaster appear again here in Shangshui Town,

especially sacrificial offering Qingling

to tell and comfort the dead,

and quiet down the Lord's anger.

Doc.Du,

back to Shanghai,

and there was nothing happened to you.

Nowadays you see that

villagers' anger is hard to quiet down.

Even I am the mayor,

I can't protect you either.

Yin Xiaotian,

don't think that no one knows what you did.

Shanghai Petrol won't let you be forgiven.

Calm down.

It seems that

Besides,

the water monkey that killed people is your blood related brother,

why I need to afraid?

Otherwise,

we found a extramely rare virus

in the extractive.

It's a northern familial-hereditary disease.

Goodbye Doc.Du.

Thank you Doc.Du.

Have a pleasant journey.

Naive at day, a pair of eyes.

Ghost at night, one moment change.

Close in front of me, is it real or faraway.

How to distinguish, existing like dreams.

Behind the mask, falling off tears.

Who can survive in the world of lying.

Pretending to be an actor, escape or hide.

Hard to recover the heart, only left some dignity.

Inured to the unusual, losing consciousness.

Void like arrows, bleeding with needle.

Uncovered with fake, who are you indeed.

Kindness was executed.

Inured to the unusual, losing supporting.

Edge of right and wrong, nearly crashing down.

Right and wrong was marginalized.
