Hound calling thunder.

Are all units in place? Are all units in place?

This is thunder. There are six terrorists, and one of them is a sharpshooter.

They're all carrying heavy weapons. Tell everyone to be alert.

Hound! Are you all right?

Hound! Speak to me, hound!

Cease-fi re!

Listen, you cops!

You've gotten down a hostage.

He's not wounded, but he's had a heart attack.

Send in a doctor, or his death's on you!

We'll send a doctor.

But you've been surrounded. You stand no chance of escape.

Give yourselves up!

Western daily

- Hey, what is it? - Hold it, miss.

I'm a reporter.

I'm sorry, I can't let you in there now. It's too dangerous. Please leave now.

- Come on! I just want to take a photo. - Sorry. Absolutely not.

Oh well, next time.

They're ridiculous!

Captain ho? I'm dr yeung.

One of the hostages inside has had a heart attack.

Why did you call me?

Well, you do have a reputation for being quite brave,

and we hoped that you could go inside and plant a bomb

to help save the hostages.

I've got no experience.

- Inspector chiang! - Yes, sir.

Dr yeung. I'll pretend that I'm a nurse and go in with you to set the bomb.

- Get dressed now. - Right.

Yes, sir.

The bomb is hidden inside the bottom of that first aid kit.

Well? Everything okay?

Hm-hmm.

Dr yeung, at exactly twelve midnight, we'll break-in, no matter what.

The doctor is here.

Don't open fire.

Lee's industrial centre

Grenade!

Hold it right there, bitch.

Don't worry, I'm a woman too.

Go on.

Move it!

Doctor, glad you could come.

- The patient? - Get up!

Go!

- Stethoscope. - Yes.

Calm down, fellas. I'm a doctor.

Stimulant.

Here.

What's this?

Boss, a gun!

Bastard!

Now,

who are you?

I'm a reporter.

You almost ruined the whole plan.

I'm sorry.

My camera! I want to take some photos.

You what?

Dr yeung, thank you. We are now in control.

- Good. I'll be going, then. - Okay, let's go.

- Come on, men! - Hey!

Are you going to arrest me?

I have never met a more fanatical girl than you.

But you could be sent to prison.

- Prison? - Get going.

Thank you!

- This way. Hurry! - All right.

- Dr yeung, thank you. - Oh, don't mention it.

Captain!

Oh! I really must thank you for your bravery, captain.

Captain!

- Now, let me... - Oh!

- Dr chu, so glad I bumped into you. - Hello!

They say you've recently written an article for a scientific journal

about the effects of climate on men, and especially in the sexual performance.

This is merely a simple mathematical ratio.

It has to do with the climatic temperature.

Oh!

Now, the length of enjoyment is one hour in the tropical south,

half an hour in the temperate zones,

and about two or three minutes in the coldest regions of the far north.

Why, I remember you come from the south seas.

According to your formula, I'm from the north pole.

Come on.

Oh, hi!

Wow!

Look at that beautiful girl.

Dr chu,

you take the wine and leave her to me, all right?

- Isn't it funny? - Really funny, yeah.

Do you believe in astrology?

I can see straightaway that you're a Virgo!

- Well, I'll leave it to you to explain. - Yeah, yeah.

And a Virgo lady's best mate is a Taurus man just like me, you see?

And look at me. You must be a scorpio...

At home, I have quite a collection.

I have a human head from a tribe in new Guinea,

shrunken to the size of a monkey's.

And what else?

Oh, I've got some toes from another tribe strung on a string for a necklace.

Oh, that's nauseating.

- What else? - Well, there's...

There's me. Hello, doctor.

- I have something important to tell you. - What do you want?

Oh, miss? Don't be deceived by him.

To tell you the truth, he's already married.

What?! That's a lie!

Chester, I have to be going now.

Bye-bye.

- Hey! Wait... - Oh! You stay here!

What are you up to?!

Well, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to intrude into your life, but it's very important.

- Go on. - Right.

I want to feature you in a story in the western daily

to tell the world of your heroic deeds.

So, I need your nude photo.

Om ugh!

Hey, wait, I assure you it'll have a sense of beauty.

My technique's not bad, really!

- Sorry, miss, he pushed me! - Yeah, never mind. Hey!

Hey!

Wait! Idiot!

- Hey, come back! Wait! - Goodbye!

Hi!

Well, idiot,

you thought I couldn't catch up?

Uh?

You asshole! You're cheap, dirty, and despicable too!

Boo!

I'm sorry.

You really hurt me!

So how did you get in?

And where's my maid gone?

I gave her $1,000 and said you let her have today off.

Oh, I see.

When opportunity knocks...

Dr yeung.

Who are you?

You must return to Thailand to save yourself and rescue bachu.

What's that?

Your blood spell has almost reached one year.

You'll have a relapse.

Bachu has a ghost spell on her.

She's in real trouble.

What are you talking about?

Stop pretending.

Here's my address in Thailand. I'll wait three days.

Wait! Don't go.

What's your name?

Call me dragon.

Listen, keep away from sex,

or you may have a relapse.

Who's that guy? I'm so scared.

It's all right. No problem.

What's wrong?

Wesley, you're my best friend and my teacher.

I hope you can help me.

Hm. Have you been to Thailand?

Su, would you bring us some coffee, please?

All right.

It seems you've been put under a... blood spell.

Now, tell me how it happened.

About a year ago in north Thailand.

I went on an expedition with a medical team

to gather herbs for the treatment of aids.

Morning.

- Morning. - Morning.

Professor, I wanna take a walk over that hill.

You better be careful. That's the yunnan miao tribe's territory.

I heard tell that they're a kind of worm tribe

and that they specialise in witchcraft.

I'm not afraid of witchcraft. I believe in science.

Uh-uh.

Oh. Sorry, I broke your gem.

That's all right. I don't care. You keep it.

Really?

Yeah.

I must go!

Keep away from that girl.

That tribe is really cruel.

And like I said, they've mastered the art of witchcraft.

Professor, if they cast a spell so easily,

they gotta be really busy.

I'm the leader of this expedition, and it's my duty to protect all of you.

So you better do what I say.

Sounds like drums.

They're the drums of the worm tribe, and they signal offerings.

They're making offerings to god?

Hm. And don't you ever try to witness it.

- Oh! No, we won't! - Not me!

Wow. What a huge altar.

Come on.

It's her.

- Who do you mean? - The girl I was talking about.

I don't know.

Have you made up your mind?

I won't do it.

Then you have probably been chosen...

By old ancestor...

To die when he awakes.

You deliberately sent dragon away and then you picked me.

I only love dragon and not you.

I won't submit.

- My people! - Hail!

As in previous years, when old ancestor wakes up,

someone will be chosen.

They will be honoured by god.

Just a minute!

I choose the daughter of the last chief. Please don't offer her to the god.

It is god's will!

No! How can that be true?

Any more doubters?!

Now it's in the tomb!

I've gotta help her.

Are you serious? You gotta be crazy. You could get killed.

I'll be careful.

- Wait! - I've got a gun.

- No! Wait! - Wait!

- What now? - Now what?

Old ancestor, the time has come for you to arise!

Run!

He's our old ancestor. He won't die!

Run! Leave me here!

Save yourself! Get away!

Help me! Help me!

Please hurry.

Intruders!

- Go and find them! - Sure!

Drumming again.

He knows that you're here. They're after us.

Run!

Professor!

It was your foolishness that brought on this trouble.

Let's get back to camp.

Run, quick! Move it! Move it!

Bachu! Bachu!

Come on!

Get in! Get in!

You have blasphemed old ancestor.

That was a very big mistake.

And now, on behalf of god,

I shall punish you both.

Professor, you...

The worms are highly prolific,

But you needn't worry, I won't use them against you, my dear.

I've let you down.

No, you haven't.

Don't let them get you. Run.

Get away.

I'm now using my own charm to help you.

I... oh.

When I woke up, bachu had gone,

and so had my wounds and even the bloodstains,

so I left the place alone.

That was a year ago, and I've remained well.

But now...

Tell me, why didn't you take dragon's advice?

Because I didn't know him, and I didn't know what he wanted.

Mm, I see.

Coffee's ready.

What's wrong, Chester?!

Su, bring the first aid kit.

This is the second attack.

When was the first?

About the same time yesterday.

That's once every 24 hours.

When it's finally spread to your heart, you'll die.

Wesley, you know witchcraft well. Can I survive?

Well, the blood curse is the most mysterious of its kind.

Bachu used a spell to protect you; That only lasted a year.

That's why dragon wants you to go to Thailand.

You think I should go?

Chester, only the doer can undo the damage.

Okay, I'll see dragon tomorrow.

Hey!

That sounds interesting. Give me the scoop on it, okay?

You again?

Cousin. Do you know him well?

- Wesley? - Chester, Sally is Wesley's cousin.

She's just young and a little spoiled. Please don't blame her.

You really are meddlesome.

I know him well. Don't I, good buddy?

Now, let me go to Thailand with you. What do you say? All right?

- I'll go alone. - Sally!

It's a serious affair. You can't go.

You mean I'm not qualified? Well, I am so.

I went through a lot with doctor yeung the other day.

Isn't that right?

I told you, I'm going alone.

Oh, Chester, I'll rush to help you, day after tomorrow.

Call the Thai police if there's trouble; I'll be in touch with them.

- Thank you. - Sure.

Cousin, won't you help me go?!

I don't think so, Sally.

This is a matter of life and death.

You're only in it for the kicks. You better stay out of it. Hm?

Bangkok airport

Doctor Chester yeung?

- Yes? - I'll take those, sir.

- You are...? - My boss told me to greet you.

Right this way, sir.

- Where's your boss? - Dr yeung, please sit down first.

Thank you.

Whoa.

- Idiot. - Not you again?

Right. I came just ahead of you.

Why so many weapons?

We're entering a primitive jungle, and it wouldn't be safe to go unarmed.

Take a look at this. It's the latest laser-sided gun.

You can afford it?

My daddy's tung tai-ping.

Real estate tycoon, tung tai-ping?

Well, I couldn't care less,

but he's given me a gold card with unlimited credit.

Right.

Beautiful, ignorant, young, and very rich.

That makes you very troublesome.

I want to be a real good reporter.

I'm not going to war,

and those things aren't any help against witchcraft.

Wait.

It'll be worth your while.

I already made a promise to the editor and a deal with the wire service,

so we can put your story on front pages all around the world.

We can split the profit.

I'm sorry, you can't go.

Yes, I can!

If I want to, I can.

What are you going to do?

Anyone?!

In here!

Don't underestimate me.

You've come at last.

Have you seen...?

I've been pursued since I returned.

Who pursued you?

The sorcerer.

He knows I saw you.

Since then, he's been conspiring with the underworld powers against us.

Organised crime, demons...

They're all the same: An evil force.

Let's leave it once.

Is this the worm tribe here?

No. They're a good and peaceful tribe.

They work as farmers, but they're often attacked by the worm tribe.

Dragon, it's good you're here now.

Chief, what has happened here?

Something very terrible, dragon.

All the children disappeared this afternoon

and there's no trace of them at all.

- All of them are gone? - Yes.

What is it?

All the children have mysteriously disappeared.

I think the sorcerer must have taken them.

- A witchcraft? - Yes.

There's a flying demon made from the blood of 100 children.

It's able to fly, suck blood, and kill mercilessly.

And the spell that brings it to life must be renewed every three years.

Boy, he's really cruel.

That's right. I saw the demon when I was there that night.

The chief has asked me to lead a group of men to rescue the children.

- Good. - Hey, I want to go!

- It's really quiet. - Yes. Not even the night birds.

Something's wrong.

We better stay alert.

Hey! Hey!

- Let's get outta here! - Come back here! Come back here now!

You're hurting me.

It serves you right, Sally. I warned you against following us.

Well, Chester, I'm already here!

I followed you all the way, and I'm not going back.

Now, watch what you're doing. There're a lot of booby traps around here.

You don't have to worry.

When I studied in the usa, I read a lot of books about the viet cong.

Ah! Hmm! Now, what do you think about that?

I know what I'm doing.

No more nonsense. We're working against time now.

Uh?

I'll go ahead and look. You two stay here.

Sally!

- Where are you going? - To take photos.

Sally, you should stay here. I'm now responsible for your safety.

It's dangerous. I don't want you running wild.

I do what I want to do, you male chauvinist.

Sally, no. Please take my advice.

It's really dangerous. I've experienced it.

Things are sometimes beyond your control.

Let me go.

I'm warning you.

You touch me again, and I tell my cousin you molested me.

But with your reputation,

there won't be many people that would believe that, would there?

I don't care what you say. You just take my advice,

or I'll hold you over my knee, take down your pants, and I'll spank you.

You wouldn't dare.

- You dirty old man! - So what if I am?

You're a sick individual. I'm going to leave, and I won't return.

Okay. It's up to you.

You conceded rat. I wouldn't return even if I were bitten by a snake,

shot with arrows, or I fell into a hole.

You would. I hate you!

I hate you!

You idiot!

Bye-bye.

She took off fast.

The children have already been put into cages,

and they're heavily guarded.

- We'd better rescue bachu first. - Okay.

Hey, where's Sally?

She ran away.

She was angry. It's all right.

Hey, where's bachu?

Bachu!

Dragon.

I brought doctor yeung.

We're here now.

- Bachu. - Keep away.

I don't want anyone to see me in my present state.

Chester, you understand?

She doesn't look good.

Bachu, yesterday my fourth blood curse burst,

and we've really got to save both you and me.

My father told me, just before he died,

there are some special sacred, glowing ashes

that can break any spell.

And so, I decided right then to consult the ancient records,

and I found out where the ashes were hidden.

- But where? - A large Buddha in a cave.

It's out of reach, and no one can climb up to it.

Oh, so they can't be gotten.

Chester, I believe that you're an angel,

so I told dragon to get you.

Yes, you must. You only have three days to live.

I'll go and radio them to send more equipment.

Once you get the ashes, they'll only last six hours,

so you must fight against time.

Help!

What are you doing?!

Put me down!

I'll pay you!

Let me go!

Let me go!

Let her go.

Uh, I see, you must be the boss. You're really nice.

Excuse me. Bye-bye.

Well, I only lost my way, and I fell into your trap, that's all.

Tell me, did dragon bring you here?

No, he didn't.

Oh, you see, I'm just a tourist.

Wow, you look really great.

Let me take your photo.

I understand.

Over and out.

Dragon, men and equipment are coming soon.

- Still no sign of Sally. - She's such a headstrong girl.

I wonder where she could have got to.

One of two things: She's either dead or she's been captured.

Where would they take her, if captured?

A foreign girl would be taken directly to the sorcerer.

We better rescue bachu.

Find Sally first.

Good friend.

Through there!

Chester, will Sally be all right?

Well, I hope so. Her temperature's pretty high right now.

I'll go see if any men have arrived.

Sally!

She's gone berserk with incredible strength.

Sally!

Sally, what's wrong?

What has happened to her?

She was captured by the sorcerer, and then she became like this.

I think that she must be under a curse.

The black spell. She'll kill anyone in sight.

How can we break the spell for her, then?

Let me through.

Bachu?

Black is needed to break the curse.

Collect the blood of black goats, oxen,

black dogs, black cats, black snakes, black eagles, and black lizards.

Boil it, and when it cools slightly, bathe her in it.

Let her stay immersed until she wakes up.

Uh?

Eugh!

- What is it? - What happened?

She saw my face.

It's okay now.

That woman you saw saved your life.

You're all right. She's your friend.

She'll be all right now.

Chester, time is running out. Better get the ashes.

- Dragon. - Hm?

- Will you return to me, no matter what? - I will.

I want to go with you.

Sally, don't be silly.

Return, no matter what.

What's happening?

Wesley, my sixth blood curse has just burst,

- but not much blood. - Hmm.

When the seventh one bursts,

all your blood will spill out until you're bled dry.

And tomorrow, is that the last day that I'm going to have on this earth?

Chester, I really don't believe too much in the certainty of fate,

you can change your destiny. Dragon.

- What's the sorcerer's name? - He's called aquala.

Aquala?

The witchcraft of aquala and his clan

are known to be the most mysterious and cruel in this area.

- A demon that flies? - Yes.

Get a pregnant cow and get it at once; Slaughter it and get the placenta.

Also, kill a black dog and get the blood.

- Go on. - Yes, sir.

Wesley, why all that?

In order to break the curse of the flying demon.

A friend of the aquala clan taught me that,

I don't know if it'll work.

Chester, it's all up to you.

Old ancestor, old ancestor! Give me strength!

Give me strength, blood into blood demons!

Kill Chester yeung and the others!

Where are the ashes?

Inside the eyes.

We've got to climb all the way up, do you mind?

No problem. I've even climbed in the himalayas.

Chester, they say that no one who has tried to climb it has ever returned.

It's up to us.

Watch out!

Be careful.

Get him!

Chester!

Masters!

We want the eyes only to help someone. Please allow us, can you do this?

It's falling!

Chester!

Chester!

Chester!

Hurry, swallow it now in order to break the blood spell.

You should swallow it whole.

We have got to return immediately, or else the other one will become useless.

They've got Sally and bachu.

Go and rescue them!

I'll join you later.

- Come on! - Yes, sir!

Old ancestor must be delighted today

to have three men and three women for his food.

God will punish you.

Chester yeung will kill you.

Well, I'm waiting for them to show up.

We're already here.

I told you he'd come.

Old ancestor!

Aquala.

You've performed many atrocities and killed innocent people.

I'm here to make you pay for that.

Old ancestor!

Run!

Quick!

Sally!

Go to hell!

Here!

Dragon!

Let's go!

Free the demon!

Where's the sacred ash?

Oh. Right here!

Time ran out! It's no good!

Can't bachu restore her original looks, then?

Dragon, could you love me if! Look like this all my life?

Uh-huh.

Our tribes can live freely.

Now that the demon is dead, I can help them live a better life.

What a pity, it's so terrible.

Remember one thing.

Beauty lies in one's heart.
