Witchcraft is a mysterious art

No one has actually seen it

but many have heard about it;

Especially for those ungrateful men who fool around

the legends of 'revenge' by

witchcraft is particularly widespread

The Yunan, Guichow and the Miao Provinces of China,

and Thailand, Vietnam and Gau Mien of East Asia

are filled with women who are versed in witchcraft

This story is based on information gathered in

Hong Kong and Thailand

Whether or not to believe it, is up to you

8 a.m. Hong Kong time

This is RTHK. Here is the news.

Lui Shao Rui, Deputy Chief of Tsuen Wan said yesterday

The buildings between

Castle Peak Road and Tai Ho Road

will be demolished to make way for the road works

The majority of affected landlords

Go...catch

You throw so far

...and 23 shops

Dad, come on

What is it?

A hand, so frightening

Don't be afraid

HQ127, female

About 6 to 7 years old

Cause of death is the skull being

pierced by a sharp instrument

The death could have occurred about 10 days ago

Hey, Bobby

About that little girl's case

What's the progress?

I've sent my men to investigate

but there is no news yet

Inspector Wong

What is it?

We've found a witness who claims he has information

Try your best for this case

Alright...send him in

Come in

That's him

Speak

Inspector asks you to speak

Yes...

My job is to guard the reservoir

I saw a man last Saturday

wandering there

That's where you found the body

I felt strange at the time

and then I asked him

What did he say?

He didn't answer

I felt suspicious

then he got in a taxi and left

I took down the license plate

Look

At 3 p.m. last Saturday

did you pick up a man

at the Shing Mun reservoir?

Yes!

A man did get into my taxi

at Shing Mun reservoir last Saturday

Do you recall where he got off?

At the temple in North Point

Sir

We investigated there

What did you find out?

A man set up a spiritual tablet

of a little girl over there.

Did he leave his name and address?

No

But we have a photograph

He paid respects to the girl's photo

What's the little girl's name?

I don't know

He left donation for 10 years' incense burning

Go to every primary school

and gather their school badges back

Yes

Let's go

"Mu Kuang"

Match it

Careful

Open the door...

Police

Do you know this little girl?

All rise

Your honour

The defendant Lam Wai

killed his own child

According to his statement

and the police report

this murder

is cruel and cold-blooded

I ask for the death sentence

Your honour, on behalf of the defendant

I request that he defend himself

Granted

I...didn't want to...kill my daughter

Then why did you do it?

Your honour

I suspect someone cast a spell

on me, that's why I did it

In this modern day and age

how could there be such a ridiculous thing?

We will hand you over to the psychiatrist

and sentence you after the report is given

All rise

Mary, what's for dinner?

Steak

It's so rare

That's what makes it tasty!

You people are so primitive

you have to eat everything raw

Would you use your hands to grab the food?

Alright then

For you I'll cook it a bit longer

Thank you

The defendant Lam Wai

We have received the psychiatrist's report

which states you are of sound mind

As a father

you killed your own daughter

in such a brutal way

This infers that you're a crazy guy

The jury is also unanimous in deciding

you are guilty of murdering your daughter with intent

This court now sentences you

to be hanged by the neck till death

May God have mercy on you

All rise

Move

Sir

Good morning

Go away

I've come from the mountains

bringing along some orchid...

That psycho knocked me unconscious

and when I came around, he was gone

He took away his uniform and hat

Sir, his gun is still here

He meant to impersonate the police and commit robbery

Keep it safely

Thugs usually attack the cops for their guns

but this time why did he take the uniform only?

Yes

Why is there such a traffic jam

A nutcase has impersonated a policeman

and is directing the traffic

It's a big mess but no real police turned up

What should we do?

Grab him

Let's go...

Excuse me...

Police

No, I'm the cop

Attacking policemen...

I am a policeman

Shut up, get in

Take him to the mental hospital

Bobby, how about that nutcase?

He has been sent to the mental hospital

And the murderer Lam Wai wants to see you

What for? The case is closed

He said he has something to talk to you about

Give him a chance to talk!

Thanks

Sit!

The case is closed

what do you want me for?

I have something to tell you

Then you needn't necessarily look for me!

Sir, you're responsible for the case

who else should I look for?

Alright, speak up then

They don't believe

that a spell was cast on me

What? Is this what you want to talk about?

No

Please do hear me out

3 months ago

I went on a tour to Nanyang

Wow...so hot

Let's enjoy the air-conditioning, feels good

What's the rush?

Body Massage

We have lots of time

Mr. Lam, Mr. Wong

let's meet in the lobby in 10 minutes

We'll go visit the floating market

Don't be late

It's like driving a troop of ducks

no wonder people dislike tour groups

Damn you!

I'll enjoy myself now

Mr. Lam

Beware of contracting any sex disease

Don't worry

I've taken all precautions

It'll be safe

Wait and see

46

Smile

Stephen...

Hi

My dear

You, give me

Yes

Me, give you

Oh... beautiful

Thank you

Mr. Lam, time to board

Coming...I must go

Bye bye...

Stephen

What?

It is for you

Mr. Lam, please hurry

Coming

Bye bye

I am rich

What do you mean?

That Thai girl...

she returned all the money I gave her

That means she really likes you

It's just for fun

I wouldn't talk love with her

Change it to Hong Kong dollars first

Mr. Lam, your mail

What is it?

Chen, take a look!

Check out the snap

What's so interesting?

Beautiful

Didn't I cheat you?

What is it?

Not for girls

She is pretty

Of course

Still a virgin too

How much did she charge?

Introduce her to me when I next go to Thailand, okay?

It's not like some commodity, there's no bargain

And when I'm done with her, she even returned the money

Wasn't it great?

She's just my kind

When I go to Thailand

you introduce her to me

Forget it, you're not as handsome as I am

Stop dreaming

Give it back

Let me look again

Come on

What is it?

None of your business

Don't...

I am too tired

You've been like this since you returned form Thailand

A rest would put me right

Still like that, don't come looking for me again

I don't know why I've become sort of impotent

Nothing in what you said

proves a spell has been cast on you

Listen

one night about 2 weeks ago

Seemed it was 15 August in lunar calender

What are you doing?

Stop it, I'm taking a shower, I'll get a shock

It's time for school

I help you put on the school uniform

Be good and listen to the teacher

Enough

It's fun

You had a nose bleed last night?

Let me have a look

No

Where did the blood come from?

I don't know

Time for school

Wai, don't mind me saying this

but you're not young anymore

You ought to marry

and have someone look after your daughter

I am old

yet have to take care of her

Let's go

Why are you eating raw pork liver?

What are you doing?

Want to kill me?

According to my prognostications

in that case,

you have been possessed

Your closest friend or family

would kill you

What to do?

Ask her again

What could I do to drive away the evil spirit?

Nothing

It is powerful

You need to drive a nine-inch spike

through her head to kill her

and seal off her spirit in the temple

for 10 years

Girl

Please help me cut the apple

Even your closest friend or family

would kill you

The spirit is very powerful

You need to drive a nine-inch spike

through her head to kill her

Nail her to death...

Dad, I caught a butterfly

In this way I killed my daughter

I don't know

why this happened

Why...

I'm sincerely apologetic to my daughter...

Detective, I have spoken the truth

Look

Have you seen a doctor?

Yes

He said my male hormones have suddenly increased

that's why it's like this

ls there anything else?

You insist that

you were propelled to kill

your daughter by a mysterious force?

Yes

I wasn't myself when I did it

But you've admitted you

killed her with your own hands

Yes I did

kill my daughter

But I don't understand

why I did such a thing

It has been on my conscience all the time

So I beg you to do me a favour

What is it?

I want to know

what power

made me do such a thing

I have got the death sentence

If I don't die I would suffer a life sentence

I have no way

to find out about this

So I hope you could investigate on my behalf

if a spell was cast on me

Sir, I beg you to do me a favour

The liquid in the ornament

you sent for analysis

came from

an organic Source

Yes, Organic Matter

It is living matter

It's non-toxic

and would not leave a trace in the body

I can get you

the detailed report if you wish

and send it to Scotland Yard

for further analysis

No need

Take it back first

Thanks

You're welcome

I am going to Nanyang

What for?

I never believed in witchcrafts and spells

but what I've seen and heard these few days

have generated many questions

It's not a simple case

That's why I said

one can't deny evil spells

I have a cousin in Nanyang

He was put under a spell once

When someone helped him cast it off

he became normal again

Really?

Why would I lie to you?

Inspector Jin, I am Bobby

Sorry, I know it's late

I'd like to take leave to go to Nanyang

It's personal

I know

Thanks...

If you must go

I'll ask my cousin to take care of you

But remember

whatever happens don't eat

anything offered to you

or you could be put under a spell

Don't worry, I'm not a kid

What's up?

Is this Bon Brown?

Yes

She says it's her

Ask her

if she knows a Stephen Lam

from Hong Kong

Do you know a certain

Stephen Lam from Hong Kong?

I think she won't speak

ls there any other way?

Let's find an intermediary and ask her

what spell was your friend under?

I have no choice

What is she doing?

Invoking the Vegetable Basket spirit

This shows you're not dedicated

and the spirit wouldn't come

She is asking the spirit

what spell was your friend under

Thanks

The spirit said

your friend was under the 'oil of carcass spell'

On a full moon night

the witch must go to find

a corpse of a pregnant woman who just died

and to extract oil from her carcass

"The Carcass Oil spell"

After the spell is recited for 3 days and nights

the ornament is then

given to the victim

If he doesn't return by the deadline

when the full moon comes,

the oil will seep slowly

from the ornament

onto the victim's body

What will happen then?

The victim will have hallucinations

that people closest to him will harm him

In fact the opposite is true

He'll kill those closest to him

and he'll be punished

He'll rot to a painful death

Ask her

if the victim could

suffer impotence

This is an indication of the coffin spell

"The Coffin spell"

This type of spell

will cause the victim

to be impotent

when the time comes,

unless the one who cast it is found

to lift the spell

Could the spell be lifted?

Ask her

who cast it?

She says her power is inadequate

to lift either kind of spell

and she also doesn't know who cast it

When the spell is lifted from your friend,

the one who cast it would know

If she forces it

she'll be in danger

If it must be done

you have to move

to a place called Tuntali,

a hundred kilometers from here

There is a monk of high renown there;

maybe he could help you

Thanks

Master

I could try to help,

but witchery is powerful

No one knows who'll win

Master, are you Chinese?

I am from Chiu Chow and moved here

some generations ago

The monk has agreed to help

Would you like to try?

Yes

Thanks

Alright

Give me the victim's name

and his date of birth

There'll be result in 3 days

Come and meet me then

Thanks

The spell caster

uses the victim's photograph

and nails on his pressure points

It takes great power

to pull out the nails

and lift the spell

There are 12 kinds of spell casters

categorised by 12 kinds of fierce animals,

comprising snake, bat, whale etc.

If one wants to find out

which kind of spell caster cast the spell,

then his name and date of birth

must be written on a piece of paper

A prayer be said devotedly to Buddha

then burn the paper into ashes

And the ashes must be ground adding the holy water

After mixing, pour the water on a

round plate with the 12 categories of spell casters

The area indicating the category of spell caster

in question will turn purple

After that

we could lift the spell

The spell caster is a bat

After he broke the statue

which pressed the victim's photo

then he needs to find out

what pressure points are nailed

His hands can feel it

The right temple has been nailed

Eye brows,

left temple,

The throat

Then he needs to practise magic

to extract the nails;

one, two, three four nails

Out

one, two, three four nails

Out

The opponent has great powers

I need to meditate in the temple

for 7 days to increase my power

before I can be sure to fight them again

I have a golden leaf from the Buddha's seat

Ask the victim

to carry it at all times

to prevent the situation from worsening

It's a temporary measure

Come back to me in 7 days

Thank you

Magusu

Someone called Wong King Sun came to see me

He requested help to lift the spell off Stephen

I know. He also asked a monk to help him

get rid of the spell

How does it look?

He can't beat me

That puts my mind at ease

But I can't beat him too

He cheated me, I must have revenge

Don't worry, I'll take care of that Hong Kong guy

so he won't be able to seek that monk again

Did you get his hair or clothes?

I didn't let him come to my room

That's alright, I'll get it from his hotel

Home at last!

Did you have a good time?

Yes, of course

Judie, did you leave the window open this morning?

No, I didn't.

Excuse me

Yes

Could you tell me Wong King Sun is in what room please?

Ok, this way please

Thank you

Wong King Sun

20 Dec, 1946 Hong Kong

That man from Hong Kong has already left

I want that ungrateful guy to die a slow painful death

I won't let anyone lift his spell off

I'll pay you whatever you ask

Okay, I'll go to Hong Kong

and look for the person who wanted to lift the spell

I shall cast a death spell on Wong King Sun

Then that ungrateful fellow

will die a slow death writhing in pain

Bobby

Sir

You're back

lam still on leave

I know

Why have you called me back?

The case which occurred at Pok Fu Lam

will be tried tomorrow

That nut case

escaped from the mental hospital

Please help me look into this

Bobby

Did you find out anything about the spell in Nanyang?

Is it a real thing?

I have seen many strange things

but nothing about casting spells

How is Lam Wai now?

In the hospital; very sick, sol heard

See you later

You're back

Any romantic affair?

No

Thai girls must be beautiful

What is this?

It's a long story

it's better you didn't know

Girls gave him that

Go...off to work

Chen

I am going to the prison hospital

Call me if anything comes up

Alright

Lam Wai's condition suddenly deteriorated

and is in isolation

What's wrong with him?

It's like leprosy

a hideous skin ulcer

May I see him?

No

It's contagious

no one is allowed to see him

Give him this, please?

I can't, it's the rules

Sorry, where's the phone?

Downstairs

What?

I'll be right there

"Worm spell"

Sir

What's the matter?

PC1038 has been assaulted

Anything else?

He could speak just now

He said it was that nut case who attacked him

How about the gun?

It was robbed too

Detective, what case would it classify as?

Attack on a cop by a civilian

For this attack case,

what measures will be taken to prevent it happen again?

No comments for now, sorry

"Lemon spell"

Who put this in here?

So many needles stuck into the lemon

Bobby, are you alright?

Aren't you feeling well?

There was a pain in the chest, it's gone now

Come on, throw it away

Let me listen to your back

Alright

Mr. Wong

did you feel a rope was

binding your chest when you woke up?

A kind of a pressured feeling

as if something heavy was pressing you

like...

It seemed to have happened before

Have you felt numbness

in your left arm recently?

Sometimes

Have you felt shortness of breath

when you move around lately?

Have you felt this?

I heard you say so

In that case

I need to do a cardiogram for you

How about Wednesday?

Alright

Wednesday is taken

A case is being tried

Health is most important! Bobby

Get a day's leave!

Let's do it this way

I'll call you as soon as I am free

then we'll make another appointment

Alright, but don't drag it on

No, I won't, thanks

Thank you

You're welcome

This is yours

So well done

Didn't you say you don't like it rare?

You said we are primitive

Hello?

Please wait

Bobby, your phone

Hello

I'll be right there

I have to go, something urgent

You two be alert, go that way

We'll go this way

Yes sir

He's got a gun, be careful

"Split-head spell"

Sir, are you alright?

I don't know what happened

A sudden headache

You go ahead

Sir, how come you rolled down the stairs?

Are you okay?

Your nose and ears are bleeding

Sir...it's not him; what now?

What do you want with me?

Let him go

Strange... lately

my chest feels heavy

Sir, would you like to see a doctor?

No

I'll go back and rest, should be okay

Bobby

Hey, what are you doing?

Why are you eating raw pork liver?

According to what you said

your husband is under a spell

If he is not exercised

his life will be in danger

What could be done to save my husband's life?

Easy, I'll select a date

and perform the rituals

to fend off evil for him

Good, then how long before it can done?

Not long, when I am prepared

I'll notify you

I'll get it for you

Thanks

"Raising demon child"

How come there's blood here?

Must be blood from the meat

I got it at the market this morning

"Flying Spell"

Oh, who is it this time?

Your wife has passed the crucial period

The knife missed by 1 centimeter

she's on drugs and will fall asleep soon

Thank you

Be careful, I was under the flying spell

That witch

sent a demon child to kill me

I know, don't worry

Sir, excuse me

Sir, we got news saying that

the nut case has appeared in Sai Kung

We are watching him now

Okay, I'll go. You guard her.

Yes

What are you doing?

"Strangling spell"

Hello

Thanks

Sir, someone spotted the nut case

Inform Operations

Yes

Sir, gunshot upstairs

Go up quickly

Take the stairs

Let's go

Sir, are you alright?

Yes, take care of the kid first

Hurry and go

You shoot me, I'll shoot you too

Bang...

"Death spell"

Don't move

Is he alright?

Call the ambulance quickly

Sir, we've come to fetch you from the hospital

Come in

Inspector Wong

Get up

Sit

Careful...

Slowly...

Thanks

Mr. Wong, it's your good fortune

your heart disease could be cured

Yes...

You must remember

not to work too hard from now on

It's important to take more rest

Thanks...

The doctor's right

Bobby, put this on

it's chilly outside

Sit down first

Who are you looking for?

Is Wong King Sun at home?

Yes

Bobby, a monk is here to see you

Master Da More, you've come to Hong Kong

Mr. Wong

why didn't you look for me after 7 days?

Something urgent came up

and I had to return to Hong Kong

Could you return the

golden Buddha leaf to me please?

Sure

Mary, it's in my pocket

please bring it to me

So what are you doing in Hong Kong?

I know the spell caster has come to Hong Kong

The matter is now

between him and me

A death duel between good and evil

Bobby, is this it?

Master

I am glad that

you haven't been harmed

Amitabha

Magusu

Evil can't win over good

Using voodoo to harm others will ultimately be punished

Simultaneously, the moral of this story is

to admonish people against casual sex

and to be on guard against witchcraft
