Hey, Third Aunt, replacing electrical appliances for your son again?

It's Chu who has filial piety for her late father.

She wrote back, saying that she got a boyfriend,

and also found a job.

I, too want to go out and find work, but Uncle won't let me.

Joss paper clears the way; bribe the cow demons and snake spirits.

This year, there will be a full set of colour TVs and video recorders.

Next year, I'll send a car and a mansion.

Also, a refrigerator and a washing machine.

Your spirit is in heaven.

Mum, dad... this year, I'm only burning this much for you.

When I earn money next year, I'll burn you some better things.

Uncle Fung!

Don't pee into the brazier.

Hurry on back, your dad's looking for you.

My goodness! Third Aunt, you set it on fire!

My goodness, what rotten luck! Old people really are clumsy!

- Don't pour that! - Uncle?

It's best to avoid extinguishing while burning joss papers.

Why?

The gates of hell open once a year.

Ghosts hope their relatives give alms.

If they come in high spirits and return disappointed,

what do you think will happen?

- Let me through... - Third Aunt, don't pour it!

What have you done?

- There's a ghost... - It's alright...

Arlene, bring some joss sticks and candles.

Third Aunt, kneel down.

Sincerely kowtow and admit guilt.

I beg you, don't blame me!

Alright, Third Aunt. Stand up.

Third Aunt, it accepts your apology.

- Does it really? - Arlene, help Third Aunt back to rest.

- It's r-r-really alright? - It's alright.

Get some rest first.

Watch your step.

Don't be upset, don't blame me.

Is it really alright?

It's alright, don't you worry.

That's right, don't worry too much. Go in and rest first.

- There's a ghost... - Just an unintentional mistake!

You're forcing me to get tough!

Help me!

Arlene.

- I'm scared to death! - Look after Third Aunt.

COMMAND

Remember to burn incense for it every 2nd and 16th of each month.

Why're you laughing?

Uncle, you're more like a Taoist priest than a policeman.

Taoist priests, like policemen, enforce justice for the heavens.

Beer.

- Waiter, get me a glass of water. - OK.

Excuse me, bring me a plate of chips.

Bring me another ashtray.

Don't push me too far.

Lam, Sir ordered us to play these roles for real.

You were told to play the waiter, while I play the customer.

- You son-of-a-bitch! - Hey!

Don't chat with the customers while you're working.

You're messing with me, too?

Lam, Sir ordered it.

I'll settle with you later!

Call me Lam, Sir while on duty, not "Brother".

Yeah, you ask me to play "waiter”, yet have fun by yourself.

- Can you play the piano? - I can't.

That's it, then.

Been waiting all evening and no movement.

I wonder if the info was bogus?

Better dismiss the team, huh?

Isn't that girl pretty?

Sir, we're waiting to arrest drug traffickers now.

Accept that and pick up girls later!

She's been there for over two hours.

What's that mean?

Don't you think someone should keep her company?

You're going after her!

I think you're very stupid.

I get it, you mean she has a problem?

Look at her.

Sat alone for so long without having moved.

Never taking her hand off that briefcase. What do you say?

Hey, we'll check her out. Come on.

Wait another ten seconds.

What's the difference between now and waiting another ten seconds?

The song isn't finished yet.

Damn!

Chief, what's happening?

Single girl, easy to pick up.

Miss... the drink isn't suitable?

Miss...?

Miss, may I sit down?

Miss, we're from the police department.

I suspect there's a problem with your briefcase.

Open it for us to inspect.

I'm taking your silence as agreement.

Are you OK?

Lam, Sir, there's something here.

Don't move!

Miss, I charge you with resisting arrest, drug possession and assaulting an officer.

Hold it!

Who is this person?

Arrest her, whoever she is!

- Stop her! - Hold it!

Stand still...

Miss, stop moving!

Damn bitch!

Hey, come and help me!

Come and help me...

Duck down and hold up your hands!

Don't shoot! I'll deal with her!

Get out the car!

Hey... Brother, how do we write the report?

- How do we write it? - It's not hard to write.

It's hard to make anyone believe it!

Hey, are you done yet?

Almost done.

Not done yet? Let me see!

"Before we knew it..."

"A Chinese girl broke through the window."

"I, 2237, flew in, bumped into her and ended up in a complete mess."

Well written. Not bad...

If you'd typed it for me earlier I wouldn't have to work so hard!

That's not it. I'm helping type your resignation letter.

It'll be such a waste if you don't change profession to wuxia novelist.

Bastard, don't make fun of me!

Don't you think that girl was weird?

Yeah, a bit strange.

You've been sitting there over two hours.

Haven't you found any background on this girl?

Sure, she lives in Tung Ping Chau.

There's a granny who's aged 78.

Everyone calls her Third Aunt.

What are you going to do?

Call her in to identify the corpse and give a statement.

Are you really that tired now?

Is it so exhausting to use your brain?

Hey, don't keep going on at me, OK?

That granny is 70-something years old.

You ask her here from Tung Ping Chau,

and she'll need a few days' rest before she can talk, am I right?

If it weren't for our ten-year friendship,

you and I would have a serious falling out, you hear me?

Hey, can't good buddies share a joke?

- You've got head lice. - You've got lice on your privates!

- You're always mocking me like this! - Enough joking, then.

Make the call.

Ask our buddies in Tung Ping Chau to gather info and send the report here.

Thanks!

Uncle.

Uncle, going to Hong Kong sometimes does our well-being good, right?

Let's have a stroll in Sogo later, we can buy you some clothes.

Say no more.

We'll identify the corpse for Third Aunt, then go to headquarters.

We needn't go anywhere else.

Uncle!

What did you promise me?

I remember... get Uncle's approval to go out.

Watch movies only with Uncle.

I may not chat with boys... unless Uncle is absent!

Unless I'm with uncle!

Alone?

With my uncle.

That's better.

Your dad's dead?

Your mum?

What a tragedy!

Don't worry... You're so young, you can always remarry.

What nonsense!

Sorry... excuse me. Is it dirty?

Uncle, you've got him all wrong!

He's only wiping my clothes for me.

Uncle? Sorry, it's a misunderstanding...

Who's come to identify the body of Chan Chu-Chu?

- I have. - Be quick, it's knocking off time.

Senior, I'm Sergeant 2273.

I came especially to pick you up.

Senior, this way, please.

Uncle, why don't I...?

Where was she shot?

The leg.

How come? This is strange!

What's strange? When a person gets shot there's a hole!

When a person gets shot the wound will swell.

Yeah, how come?

Unless she was dead before she was shot.

She was so lively before she got shot.

She dragged me along several streets!

A person can move when they're dead.

Move, even when they're dead?!

That's a chain reaction of the joints.

There are many ways to make a dead person move.

Senior, you're outstanding!

How did she receive a head injury?

No idea! I didn't hit her on the head.

- Where's the autopsy report? - Oh, at the police station.

Let's go take a look.

Senior, this way.

Hey, Ah Pang, how about my Dai Di winnings?

Give me more time.

Senior, this way.

- Ah Chi, two cups of milky tea. - OK!

- Is tea suitable? - Boiling water will do.

- One boiling water, one milky tea! - Got it!

Lam, Sir isn't back yet. Come sit over here first.

The report is ready.

Chief, what's the old man doing here?

What old man? Uncle Fung's our senior from Tung Ping Chau.

He was a cop before you were even born. You must be stupid!

You sit here a while, I'll go find Lam, Sir.

Take care of our guest.

Uncle, your water.

Thanks.

- What the hell?! - Hey, are you serious?!

- The computers are broken again? - The computers aren't working.

- Lam, Sir, the computers are broken again. - Some idiot must've pulled the plugs!

Wow, how come you're dressed so pretty?

- For our date! - Are you for real?

Oh, yeah. Lam, Sir... this is a colleague from Tung Ping Chau.

He asked to see you.

Come on in.

Lam, Sir, the report is done.

Clever girl, done so quickly?

I'll treat you to some candy... next time.

A young man groping his colleague?!

Brother, where have you been? I've been looking everywhere.

This is our senior from Tung Ping Chau, Uncle Fung.

We've already met.

Already met? Uncle Fung's outstanding.

At the mortuary just then,

he touched a corpse with just his hand and the whole body jumped up!

Whoa, it scared me!

We're cops, aren't we? You're more like a storyteller.

Everything must be based on science.

Senior, sit down.

You guys chat now, I still have things to do.

Right, Uncle... I see you've come this time

to make a statement for Third Aunt, right?

Right.

Uncle, the college should've taught you

the secrets to making a successful statement...

Clean, neat, straight to the point.

Simple, clear, no exaggeration.

I think you can begin now.

I don't know anything.

Hey... Uncle, why don't you know?

Is it you or her that doesn't know?

The college should've taught you that calm analysis is required to judge a statement.

Take your time thinking about it.

Hey... Uncle, we all want to solve the case quickly.

You're taking the piss, saying things like that, Uncle.

- What's up? - Son, if this case weren't so strange,

I wouldn't have come even if invited.

Alright...

If what you say is helpful to the case, I want to hear your opinion.

Didn't you say you wanted to see the autopsy report?

That's right.

I suspect the deceased was dead before she was shot.

Hey, you think I faced a demon?

Not a demon, it's just that she was already dead.

How can a dead person traffic drugs?

No, just then at the mortuary--

Uncle, it's the 1990s now, and still, you believe in superstition?

You're shallow!

Then why not perform a ritual to help her soul find peace?

She's not a demon and can't transcend.

You, fine... Alright, then.

So, she isn't a demon, but she was already dead.

Then tell me what she is?!

- She's a corpse! - A vampire, right?

There are many kinds of corpses.

Those who have been dead a long time and are stiff are called vampires.

Those who are dead, but not stiff are called zombies.

I suspect someone used the zombie to traffic drugs.

Fourth Fung.

When I heard someone mention mythology, I knew it had to be you.

I haven't seen you for years.

You haven't changed a bit.

What're you doing standing there? Don't you have work to do?

We're discussing a case.

Uncle Fung said someone might be using zombies to traffic drugs.

Bullshit!

As a police officer, how can you say such ridiculous things?

I'm going now.

Wouldn't you like to hear about the case?

I haven't seen you for years.

Come to my office... for a catch-up.

Lam, Sir, you come, too.

This document has been waiting a long time for you.

Please sign it.

Still so stubborn.

If you had fewer principles back then, this seat would already be yours.

Principles are principles. They can't be changed.

Fine, I'll just leave it in here for now.

It's waiting for you to sign whenever you like.

Let's get down to business.

Lam, Sir.

This case has been classified as highly confidential.

Don't talk to anyone about it besides your team.

The autopsy report came back.

According to the analysis,

the report reveals the female deceased died seven days before the incident.

You can't be serious?!

Was the coroner insane?

I, too find it strange.

Hey, Fourth! This case is right up your alley.

What do you think?

Ma, Sir, you trust him?

When he and I were partners,

he was famous for quickly catching thieves and solving cases.

I've no idea how many strange cases he solved.

You needn't butter me up. The cap doesn't fit.

Lam, Sir, dismiss this case like it never happened.

Burn the corpse.

- Corpses can't be cremated. - Hold it!

But the presence of the corpse here will make people suspicious.

- Bury the corpse. - Bury the corpse and there are no clues.

Makes sense. Do as he said.

You needn't play games with me.

I'll surely do what is right for the heavens.

That's terrific!

But, when the truth comes to light, the facts must be reported.

No problem. I'm doing it for everyone's sake.

Lam, Sir!

From today, you will investigate this case with Uncle Fung.

What's that?

Also, for Uncle Fung's convenience,

so he isn't always on the move,

Uncle Fung will stay with you.

You can't be serious?

If that's all...

Hey, Ma, Sir, ...

This is an order. Get out!

By the way, Ma, Sir, you say he quickly catches thieves and solves cases.

So why hasn't he been promoted all these years?

Right, he quickly catches thieves and solves cases.

But I forgot to mention; he's made the scapegoat even quicker.

His nickname is Tornado.

Wherever he goes, he wreaks havoc.

Now, you better keep an eye on him.

- Then why ask him to investigate? - Such a case, only he can manage.

Uncle, does this dress look pretty?

I'll settle up with you later.

- Uncle Fung! - Does it taste good?

- Have a piece. - No need to be formal.

- Let me get you some tea. - This is on me.

Hey... who's treating us to cakes?

The new girl? She's pretty cute.

Hey, Uncle, are you messing with me on purpose?

Me and you have no...

She's Uncle Fung's niece, didn't you know?

Oh, right.

What did Ma, Sir say?

Ma, Sir asked him to help us investigate the case...

and wants him to stay with me.

So, did you promise him?

I didn't want to.

But now...

I don't have a girlfriend. Don't compete with me.

Hey, then let's see who has the means.

Oh, this door doesn't need a key?

This is the key.

New technology.

Don't block the way!

Come in.

Now, do as you please.

Wow! It's so nice!

Please close the door, thanks.

Where men aren't like men and locks aren't like locks.

Uncle, if it isn't suitable, don't force yourself to stay.

Uncle, the fish are so beautiful.

Yeah, which ones?

Excuse me, please... Thanks.

All done.

What are you doing?

Reading palms is better than watching fish.

Reading palms?

Help me out.

The bathtub is so cute!

Oh, yeah, you're welcome to try it.

Great.

Are you very dirty?

Uncle, this is a world for we young people.

Free and unconstrained.

Toilet there, bed over there, bubble bath here.

I don't think it's suitable for an old man like you.

What's so good about it? It's too open.

- Right, Uncle Fung? - How about it, Uncle?

There's a hotel at the intersection that's more suitable for you.

You need money? Here...

This is three hundred bucks - an interest-free loan.

It's fine if you don't pay it back.

It's no good here.

Uncle Fung, I have plenty of room.

That's great! I can save 200 bucks.

Here, there's 100 bucks.

Enough for a taxi. Take it...

Arlene, fetch me my slippers.

Fine. Since you like it here, there's nothing I can do.

In that case, I'll take a bath now.

The old bugger's still here...

Hey, just get on with your bath!

- "Don't let the brush go..." - Uncle, your slippers.

Uncle Fung, stay in my apartment. There's plenty of room.

Put the slippers back.

"Brush up, brush down, don't let the brush go."

"Should prevent teeth..."”

So soon?

He's still here.

Hey... are you demolishing the place?

What's with all the noise?!

Hey!

Hey, what are you doing?!

Hey, stop that! Don't you touch...

You homewreckers...

Hey, you bastard! What do you think you're doing?!

Hey, Uncle! You've gone too far!

This is my home!

Hey, you...

Uncle, I'm warning you! Take that lamp down now--

An offering a day clears the mind.

Hey, Senior's offering tips on how to improve your home's feng shui.

You're lucky!

You bastard, helping outsiders, but not your own?!

- What do you want? - To start a fight!

- Hey... - Get going!

Don't think you're close enough to take advantage, OK?!

I'm close enough to a bastard!

I forgot my jacket!

- Senior, I'll pick you up at 9 a.m. - Get lost!

Uncle, where do I sleep?

Toilet, bathtub... it's up to you.

Or, there's always that nearby hotel.

Fine.

Hey, Uncle...

Hand it over.

What?

I don't understand English.

If you don't hand it over, I'll turn hostile!

Uncle.

Still awake?

Come here.

Uncle, hand it over first...

I can't stand you!

What's the matter?

I can't sleep in a strange place.

Count sheep, then.

Sing me to sleep like you usually do.

Fine...

"There was a sheep by the river. A sheep"--

Carry on, finish the song...

Go to sleep...

Pity you're not a famous singer.

Going to sleep also requires skill.

Am I keeping you awake?

I'm just used to exercising before going to bed.

OK, I'll make strong tea, and watch you take your time.

Make strong tea? I'll make coffee!

What's up? Late night?

Your face can't stop yawning!

We practised raising an altar.

Hey, in this world stranger things have happened.

You can't get along with him?

He and I get along so well.

Your getting along is your business.

I can't stand him!

Good morning!

Senior, where do we begin today?

We go to Tsim Sha Tsui.

- Good. - Shopping, eh?

Senior... where are you taking us?

This gym is owned by Chu's boyfriend, Eddie.

Didn't you check it out?

Hey, Uncle! You have to inform us in advance so that we can prepare.

To enter a private building, we need a search warrant.

A search warrant!

Without a warrant we don't need to investigate?

- Hey! - Hey, what now?

Keep an eye on him, or else, it'll be a complete mess!

Senior, I'll take care of this small matter, OK?

This isn't the Police Association!

Hey, don't be so arrogant!

Miss, we're from the Commercial Crime Bureau.

We suspect someone here's been using counterfeit banknotes.

In order for you to avoid loss, please cooperate with us.

OK.

- Open up the cash register. - Oh, OK...

There's a problem.

- It's none of my business... - Who gave you this?

I think Ah Qiang gave it to me.

Big Circle Qiang?!

Don't shoot!

- Does he often give you spending money? - Oh, no! We don't know each other well.

- No, it can't be. - How about this?

For your own safety, get down...

You're a cheeky bastard!

- Thanks a lot! - On your belly!

Senior, go inside.

Uncle, don't say I don't take care of you.

If something happens, stand behind us.

You afraid?

Yeah, afraid I can't look after you.

Senior, we can manage heavy lifting like this, OK?

Brother!

Wait a moment.

Excuse me, is Eddie here?

Who's looking for him?

We're CID.

What are you doing?

Keep your cool.

Hello, who do you want?

- Eddie, is he there? - Wait a moment.

Hey, Eddie! Telephone!

Thanks!

Hello, who is this?

Hey, who are you? Only members are admitted.

We're CID. We want to talk to Eddie about a case.

Are CID superior?

I'm Big Qiang!

Well? You falsely accuse me of using forged banknotes.

- Where's the evidence? - Don't be reckless...

- Eddie's inside. - What do you want?

Are cops superior? Hong Kong has the rule of law.

Fuck your mother!

Fuck my mother?!

Assaulting an officer?

Cuff him!

- Don't move! - Cuff him!

Hey, don't chase!

Don't get in the way!

- Help me carry stuff! - Carry stuff?

Get out of the car!

Pull up!

I'm a cop.

I wish to commandeer your car to pursue the vehicle in front, yeah?

- Hey, how about police cooperation? - Up yours!

Well...? Couldn't you catch him?

Where is he?

It was in vain!

What? Uncle Fung, he got away!

We cast a long line to reel in a big fish, but forgot about the hook!

Never mind... we'll search for clues back at the station.

What are you doing, Uncle Fung?

Ambush tracking method.

- How mad! - What's mad, young man?

They're praying to the Gods. It's piety!

Hey, young man! What the hell are they doing?

Doesn't look like they're praying.

Oh, I don't know them!

- Who the hell knows what they're up to? - You don't know them?

Lam, Sir!

You said you didn't know them!

I found him. Let's go after him.

Hey... so what about him?

Pull out the incense, release his breath, and he'll be fine.

Pull out the incense, release his breath, and then, he...?

- Hey! - Give him a hand!

- Pull out the incense. - Be a good brother...

- Help him pull the incense out. - Why aren't you pulling it out?

What's the matter?

- Move it! - It stinks!

It's usual procedure to have you searched.

Sorry.

Come in.

Boss.

The cops approached me about Chu's case.

The boss won't want something that you've touched.

Wipe the blood off your forehead.

I want some money... to go into hiding.

Money? You won't be alive to spend it!

Let me go!

Do you know if there are experts among the police force?

- Gel ready. - Yes!

Stop the car!

Reverse.

Drive up there.

Joyride?

Hey, what are you doing? What's the matter?

That's his car.

Oh, very powerful!

Uncle Fung, better let me greet you as my teacher, eh?

The car's here, but where is he?

He should be inside.

- How do you know he's inside, huh? - Listen to what he says.

Look.

Two snakes entrenched in front of the door.

Twin pillars facing up to heaven, difficult for sunlight to enter.

Difficult to disperse the gathering mist, Yin energy condensed into a spread.

Yin energy plus humidity is overcast and moist,

forming the Polar Burial Pavilion.

Uncle, we're investigating a case, not looking at feng shui.

- You don't believe it? - Take it into court as evidence

and the judge will send you to a mental hospital!

I only know how to catch murderers. Nothing else matters!

2237, halt!

Listen, call headquarters at once.

Dispatch men to inspect and seal off the scene.

Don't mess around without my order, OK?

That's an order!

Hey, what's wrong with you?

Do you want to learn feng shui from him, or be a cop?

Tell me...

Sorry, Master.

Hey, Uncle! I hold the superior rank.

I order you to watch this car. Go on!

I'm going to report you...

Master, will he be alright?

Hey, I'll report you...

At worst, he'll have to change cars.

- Come on. - I hope he'll be alright.

Look, the whole garden is covered with mud.

Not a blade of grass grows.

It should be calcareous.

Is lime supposed to be white?

Black outside, white inside.

It really is lime! What's it used for?

Carbon powder is moisture-proof, lime is anti-rot.

This is the ancient Chinese method of raising corpses.

Really?

There's glass!

The Nine Chrysanthemums Sect.

The Nine Chrysanthemums Sect?

Qimen Dun jia (ancient form of divination) originated in China.

During the Sui and Tang dynasties, China and Japan exchanged trade.

The Nine Chrysanthemums Sect emerged at that time.

Then what's the glass used for?

Condensing fog, gathering the essence of the sun and moon,

to manipulate the walking dead.

Inexorable doom, a heretical sect.

Master, then that's...

Unexpectedly, they went astray, turning from the spirit world to the demonic path.

Oh! I get it, Master.

You tested them with your jade pendant and found they were improper.

That means good and evil can't coexist?

Let's go in and subdue the demons, Master.

I know the enemy in the dark, it's dangerous to go inside.

So what do we do now?

This again?

Tornado!

Uncle, tell me if you're dissatisfied--

I'll report it when I get back.

If praying to God or worshiping Buddha could solve cases,

wouldn't it be better to hire Taoist priests as cops?

Hey, Master! Hey, Brother, I found--

- Hey... a sweet apple? - No!

Move it!

Hey, what's up?

I found out that the landlord runs a Japanese restaurant.

- Really? - Yeah!

Now, we get rid of Uncle, and check it out ourselves.

Hey, no way! It's safer to ask Master to come.

He'll ruin things if he goes.

- But-- - You prefer being used in a spell?

Move it!

Uncle, we're going to see a movie.

That's right, Master!

- Where are you going? - To see a movie.

I bought something for you to eat. Eat before you go.

You didn't need to.

- Hey, I'm starving! - Why you...

- Uncle. - I told you not to run around.

I know you work hard.

I bought something especially for you to eat.

Whoa, it's a hamburger!

Right! Lam, Sir likes to eat them.

Lam, Sir.

Pour me a glass of water.

The case is tricky?

Of course, it's tricky.

The car may be cracked, but the case sure isn't.

Master, is there any other way to manipulate a corpse?

There are five ways in the Qimen realm: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth.

Each one must cast a magic spell.

But Chu had nothing on her body.

I got it, Uncle!

If you find the charm it's possible to catch the one who cast the spell.

Nosy!

I'll pour you another glass.

Let's move, it's time.

Move it, you can eat as you go.

- Move it... - We'll go together.

You're going, too?

Going to the mortuary. There are clues.

- There are clues? - Prepare the incense, spirit medium.

The evidence is on her head. Lift her out.

Fire.

Fire!

They used an ice spell.

Ice spell?

That's right.

An ice spell melts as soon as it enters the human body.

That's why the autopsy couldn't find anything.

Uncle, you really are terrific!

You can spin such an elaborate tale.

Hey, let's move. Time's up!

- Excuse us, we're leaving now. - On you go, then...

- Move it! - Hey, Master!

Move it!

What are you doing?

Locking him in, to prevent him from getting in the way.

No, it's cold inside! You want him to freeze to death?

What freeze? He won't freeze to death.

- Move it... - Let him out!

I'll let him out after the investigation, OK?

I'll just sign this before I go.

Look out!

- How are you? - What the fuck?!

Are you qualified?!

This bastard wants to take our lives! Get out the car!

It's useless to shoot. Bring the key over here.

Don't try to be a hero.

This is a car key!

Ram him...

You hang on!

A zombie, Uncle! A zombie!

Climb up!

Don't come down, or you'll be dead for sure!

You can't be serious?!

So strong?

Master, help me!

Hurry, pull me up!

Watch out!

Quick, get up!

Catch it!

- I caught it! - I got it!

It's no good!

Get back up!

Go up and help...

What now?

Three people are too heavy.

Oh, shit...

Go now!

- Fire. - Fire.

Find a place to hide.

- Hey!

Master, he's coming!

Quick, light the fire!

Not there!

Quick, run!

The whole mortuary burnt down! What the hell were you doing?

- Handling the case. - Handling the case?!

The corpse assaulted an officer, or someone robbed the corpse, perhaps?

How should I write the report?

Write the truth. I explained it clearly to you.

That's right.

But you didn't need to stir up so much trouble!

Lam, Sir.

How the hell did it come to this?

Why are you dissatisfied with him? Just say it!

Doesn't matter if it's bad or good, tell it straight.

Uncle is very stubborn.

He disobeys orders and his method of handling cases is outdated.

He has no mind for science.

Is there any merit at all?

He's a good cop.

You're saying he's a good cop?

I'm just doing my duty.

What's that you were saying about his stubbornness?

But he has principles.

- You said, his methods were outdated. - But very effective.

He has no mind for science?

There's no science at all in this case.

So then you believe him?

If I didn't believe him, I'd probably be dead.

He saved my life.

Are you done yet?

Bring me my clothes when you're done talking.

Alright, since you two are of the same mind...

Worst comes to worst, I'll put my job on the line.

You have my full support.

Get your saviour's clothes back to him.

Yeah, right...

Dinner time.

You like to eat noodles, this bowl's yours.

Whoa! You're so kind to me.

It's too much trouble to prepare separate dishes for every meal.

Then let's eat together.

Alright, we'll eat together.

- That's even better. - I needn't go to any trouble, then.

Actually, it's like a family eating together.

Yeah... a family that works together.

This case will be broken soon.

We're not dealing here with ordinary gangsters.

You two are no match for them.

In future, I'll arrange everything.

Otherwise, your life will be in danger.

Thank you, Master, for your concern.

Not you, I meant only him!

I'm choking, I'll go get some water now.

Hey, Brother!

Uncle, will Lam, Sir be in danger?

Do you know what this jade is for?

Warding off evil spirits, it's Uncle's protective talisman.

It's to be given... to anyone who needs it.

I understand, Uncle.

Brother, you should respect your elders.

I held my tongue.

Excuse me, wait a minute. I'll be back soon.

What's up?

I want...

Want what?

I want you to take a walk. I want to talk to Lam, Sir!

Lam, Sir again? What's going on?

Uncle actually cares about you.

This jade pendant wards off evil spirits. Put it on.

Let me be honest, if your uncle gave me this jade,

I wouldn't be happy about it.

But as it's you who gave it to me, I'll treat it as a token of love.

You're so bad!

What a failure!

Goodnight.

You can't hang a jade pendant in your pocket.

Wear it sincerely!

Uncle, whatever you say!

Good morning. Master, where're we investigating today?

We can't go anywhere today.

Keep an eye on him up there and don't let him run around.

Master, where are you going?

Hey, what the hell?

Hey, are you all dressed up for a wedding?

No need to be coy.

You're assuming I'll lose to you?

- Yeah-yeah, let's go... - Where are we going?

Didn't you say there's a Japanese restaurant under that name?

So what?

We can't let Uncle think we're incapable of handling this case.

Let's take a look.

- What are you doing? - Master gave me an order before leaving.

He told me to watch you and not let you run around.

Can't the Royal HK Police Force handle cases without him?

But that's what he said!

I won't keep arguing with you.

Give me the car keys. Come on...

Come on... Hurry up...

- You always argue! - Come on...

You said you weren't going.

I'm afraid you'll crash my car, OK?

- Good morning. - Good morning.

Bah!

Job done!

Welcome.

Hey, how come my whole body feels so ill-at-ease here?

- Don't be so gutless! - I'm not--

Gentlemen, how many?

- Two. - This way, please.

Please sit down.

What's the matter? What're you looking for?

Don't you think that girl seems strange?

I wonder if she'll be like that girl in the restaurant?

Hey... no need to be afraid now, OK?

You have it... I don't!

Never mind.

Checking here's a waste of time.

I'll leave first.

Hey... who's leaving? Sit down!

We're investigating a drug trafficking case.

What do you expect? An open door has many tunnels.

You think the mules will say: "Hello, come and arrest me..."?

We can finally chat face-to-face.

I don't even know you. What's there to chat about?

I won't beat around the bush.

You're asking for it! I told you already!

Accept it, if it doesn't displease you.

Naturally, we don't interfere with one another.

If we continue to fight, both sides will lose.

How about a glass of wine? Think it over carefully.

No need to think about it. As you say, we can make peace.

We have an agreement, then. We're leaving.

Let's go!

The two of you leaving like this makes it seem you lack sincerity.

Huh? Sincerity?

What sincerity?

There's an old Chinese saying...

"Your skin and hair are given by your parents."

I swear an oath on this broken hair, break it and you break like this hair.

Oh, sincerity...? OK... no problem!

"Your skin and hair are given by your parents?”

"Your skin..."

"...and hair are given by your parents."

- Don't move! - Make the call!

Turns out the expert is someone else.

Shall I do it?

Someone is supposed to come and oppose us. I want to meet that person.

Uncle, hurry and save Lam, Sir.

He's dying!

Master, think of a way.

Master, we were just--

I know, he's been struck by a cold air sorcery attack.

Is there a way to save him?

There is. A man has three fires.

As long as the three fires converge on the heavenly spirit and push it into his veins,

a heat will generate that boils his blood,

so that the cold will dissipate naturally.

But he doesn't have intuition.

- You have. - Me?

Close your eyes and concentrate.

- I can't! - I'll help you.

My God... Master, he's swelling!

How despicable! They cast a spell in his mouth.

This thing will shrink and expand!

Come here...

Now, don't take your head out the freezer.

Soon as it shrinks, I'll come help you.

Uncle, his heart seems to have stopped. What should we do?

It'll be alright.

Quick, find me something to burn and seal up the door.

Help! Uncle!

Set me free, Uncle!

Help me!

Uncle... help!

Uncle, help me quickly!

Arlene...

I'm not a Taoist. That mirror is no use against me.

Uncle...

Quick, go downstairs!

Damn bitch!

Hey, how are you?

Master!

Uncle, how are you?

I'm fine!

Master, what're you doing?

Seeing how she is.

Don't think we need to.

If the explosion didn't kill her, the fall sure did.

Hey... do it!

It's not her!

She's blind!

Quick, run!

Pull me up!

Master isn't dead!

Come on!

Well, Master, are you OK?

I'm fine.

Let's see how Arlene is doing.

Let's go.

I found the mirror!

You lot climb down!

Senior, look outside!

Come on! Lift it and don't let go!

- Help Master up! - Uncle!

Try not to get close to that pile!

Master, next time I'll take you for a good meal.

Come on, hurry up!

Auntie, excuse me!

Lunatic!

Master, what custom is this?

Stamping your foot twice when walking past?

There was sand in my shoe!

Your other shoe still has sand in it.

Get on the boat! Thanks.

Goodbye. I'll come visit when I'm free.

Fine.

Come on.

Uncle, I left my walk man at Lam, Sir's house.

I'll return on the next boat.

Catch.

Keep an eye on her for me.

Three days!

I promise you!

Master, I'll accompany you for three days!

Get me three days off. Three days will do!

Bastard, you're the smartest this time!
