This story is a rewrite of a Nanyang tall tale

It bears the moral that

justice does prevail

The film is extensively shot in Malaysia...

and our story begins in a Coconut oil Garden...

Where have you been? You never come see me

Dad keeps mentioning you

It's been very hectic at the law firm

How are you? Feel better lately?

Don't worry it'll get better soon...

when you get a new job

So, what brings you here this year?

Mr. Hu told me bring the land ownership papers

Mr. Chen needs to sign it

Why?

I heard it belongs to the Yang family now

The lease is over

They're going to take the property

Little Yue...

It's dad

Daddy!

Hey, Little Yue and Ah Yung !

Mr. Hu is waiting for you two

Let's go right now

Shall we, Ah Yue ?

Let's go then

Fu Sin Chen

This is the loan agreement your father made...

and signed before he died

It's supposed to be paid in 5 years

Otherwise, we can take over the property

The Coconut oil Garden and the field are ours now

We're here to re-gain possession

This agreement was signed five years ago

It's worth five times more than before

I can't hand it over to you

Mr. Hu. Please help me out?

Mr. Yang. My client has rights

He has a right to object

You have to respect that

Fu Sin Chen

How dare you change the deal !

Man, isn't your life dear to you?

Speak, deal or no deal?

Mr. Hu

Mr. Yang. This is a law-abiding country

We can discuss it

There is no time to negotiate

We'll kill you if you won't hand it over

Fu Sin

Push her over

They are bullying your daughter. Hurry up!

Call the police

I've been working here for over 40 years

No one has dared to make a scene

Whoever tries to start something

I'll kill them

He is dead...

Uncle Ah Ba, you have to go!

Hurry up! Uncle Ah Ba, leave!

Let's go, dad

Over there...

Don't move. Stop!

Put the hand cuff on.

Are you Mr. Sheng?

I'm Shih Sin Lou

He's my assistance Kou An Fu

Mr. Lin. He...

He'll be executed in half an hour

I asked of him his last request

He said that he wanted to see you alone

Uncle Ah Ba

Uncle Ah Ba

Don't feel sorry for me, child

I asked Mr. Hu to put me on the witness stand

Chung Yue and I are your relatives

so he said we can't be witnesses

I argued with him for a long time

But he wouldn't let me

I know

I watched you grow up

I know you were trying to help me

I...

Look at me

You can tell that I'm not afraid

You have to be brave. OK?

The only person I worry for now is Ah Yue

You're the only one that she can count on

Those two bastards from Yang family

They will come back for more

You've to protect little Yue

You got polio when you were little

As a result causing you to despise yourself

I needed you to come see me today

There is something important I need to tell you

Look carefully!

Hurry up! Look at it carefully

What is this?

It happened 20 years ago

Your father was a shaman; sort of exorcist

He got an incurable disease and so...

he gave me the spell before he passed away

He copied it down for me

Hurry up! Write it down

Hurry! Write it down quickly

Your dad told me

You learned Malay when you were little

Can you understand it? My child

Please you have to remember one thing

This can only be used to protect the less fortunate

You can't use it with a wrong intent...

or you'll die

in a very, very bad way...

It's time to go! Mr. Lin. Let's go!

Mr. Sheng, why are you so late ?

We need these documents this afternoon

Has the document been typed out?

Ms Liang is waiting

I'll give it to you before I get off

Don't take too long!

What's wrong? Sheng Yung

Your wife has...

Please take care of yourself

Do you want to take a day off?

No, there is a case that I need to prepare for

I haven't finished Mr. Wong's statement

Don't worry! I got it ready

Thank you

Not at all. It's okay

Mr. Hu. Please try your best

No problem. I'll take care of it

It should be just fine

Please

Xiao Ly, who is that lady?

She is Yu Nian Lam, a dancer

She was looking for Mr. Hu

What kind of case is it?

Rape

Um... it's done

Shouldn't be a problem

I'll win this case

Are we done with Wong Ta Chiang's statement ?

In a second I'll bring it to you

What took you so long? Court is out

Lin Yang Ba got executed today

He asked me to take care of his affairs

That's your own problem

You were late

Don't do it again

I warned you twice. Be careful

It will cost you your job next time, is that clear?

Ah Yung, what about my father?

Please go in!

Have a seat

Don't be sad ! Uncle Ah Ba was very brave

You have to be brave too

I'm alone without him

The Yang family won't leave me alone now

Don't worry! You got me

I promised your father

I'd take care of you

You've always been nice to me

I know, I ought to be grateful

Please stay over tonight

Don't leave

I don't think I should

I can sleep on the floor

No

The Yang brothers might come looking for you

I'm not afraid of them. I'll face them

Little Yue

I'm useless. I'm a loser

Why am I crippled? Why?

Dig a hole in the middle of the house?

Dig a big hole?

Please give me peace...and power...

Damn it

Brother, you first. I'll guard the place

Alright

Ghosts? Are you kidding?

There is no such thing

I mean it. It's true

I saw it with my eyes

My brother was killed by an oily monster

You must've seen a ghost

Ghost? A ghost...

All right. Chief

I think he is in shock. Talking nonsense

He should be admitted to the mental hospital

Chief, chief

I haven't lied to you. There is a ghost

There is a ghost. It's black and oily

Tin Kin Yang was killed by the Oily Maniac

The Oil-Maniac slays Tin Kin Yang

Yu Nian Lam's rape case on trial today

Shut up! Be quiet!

The prosecution may continue

Te Min Hong

The evening of March 11th, 1965

Why were you in Yu Nian Lam's home?

I had a business dinner that night

It was 3 a.m when I got home

Ms. Lam, let me help you.

You opened the door for her? Did you?

Yes.

Then? Did you go into her room?

Bye

You're lying

Ms Lam didn't close the door. It was you

I swear she closed the door

The witness will please continue

What happened next?

I put her on the bed

Then you had sex with her

I mean, without being invited

No. I was very calm

My mind was very clear

I wouldn't have done anything wrong

I...

Silence!

The plaintiff will come on the witness stand

Please swear, Everything you say will be truth

Nothing but the truth, so help me God

Ms Lam

On the evening of March 11th, 1965

How did you meet Te Min Hong?

I went to a movie that night

And got home before 12 o'clock

The defendant went into your room

Did he force you into the bed?

Yes

Help!

Did he touch your breasts?

He did

Was it the right one?

Or left?

Both sides

Did his hand move to other places?

His hand was moving down past my belly

His hand was on your genitals?

Objection

The prosecutor is misleading the jury

It could well affect the verdict

Your honor

We are putting an innocent girl

No, a victim of a serious crime...

on the witness stand

This poor girl was humiliated

insulted in front of so many people

But she is willing to testify

It's all because she doesn't wish to see.

Another poor girl suffer

To be a victim of another crime

The defense's objection is denied, proceed

Listen carefully! Ms Lam

Tell the court

Is this the person...

who ripped your clothes off ?

Please answer

Yes

Then what did he do?

Please speak up

He...

Your honor

For the dignity of Ms Lam

Would you please clear the room?

All right

You may continue

Please

He separated my legs

Please go on

He pushed his penis into my...

Yes. It was painful

It was killing me

Nonsense. She's lying

Silence!

No more questions

I agree with the jury

The defendant is guilty

He will be suspended for 2 years

and compensate Ms Lam

A total of two hundred thousand dollars

You're wonderful. Mr. Hu

It looked so easy for you

Without your cooperation

I wouldn't win the case

Yes

I'll take 80 percent of the compensation

What? I only get 20 percent

You didn't put in any effort

I planned the whole thing

That's true!

It's you. Ah Yung !

This Durian? It's from Malaysia

Try it

Please sit down

Are you eating with a friend?

Come join us

No, thanks

I need to go after I've had a word with you

What do you want to say?

Please tell me the truth. Little Yue

I...I'm crippled

Do you hate me because of it?

We were good friends since we were little

I hope you wouldn't refuse to marry me ?

Will you? Please tell me

I'm sorry. I can't accept

Why?

Because...I promised someone else

Who? Please tell me

Am I late? Little Yue

You're here. Mr. Sheng

Will you eat with us?

I'm not hungry

Women...women !

I need a shower, I'll be right back

I can shower with you

I'll get the water ready

You can listen to some music first

spare me... oh, please

Hurry up! Get him in the car

Hurry...

Please move away

We need some space

Inspector Lou. Will you give us...

some information on the oily maniac?

Can you tell us anything?

And...

Please tell us

What did Mr. Hong do?

Why did you arrest him?

I'm sure that he's the oily maniac

What are you talking about?

The oily maniac makes trouble everywhere

He couldn't escape anymore

No more trouble from now on

Drive

Sheng Yung, what's wrong?

Didn't you sleep well last night?

Have a cup of coffee! Come on!

Thank you

It is...

Excuse me. My name is Julie Mo

Mr. Hu told me to come

Please. He is waiting in his office

Thank you

Her photos were in the newspaper

Julie Mo is the lead singer of a group

Ms Mo. You want to sue your doctor

She messed up your plastic surgery

I can't tell the difference

ls there anything wrong with your face?

Not my face

Where?

My breasts

What happened to your breasts?

I need to know the details. Ms Mo

Otherwise I can't take this case

She screwed it up totally

I can't continue with show business

She ruined it

She's jeopardized my whole life

All right!

Please calm down

What do you want?

I want her to pay me 150,000

I'm sorry I can't help you

You have no chance

Why? She has no license

No, she is a registered doctor

And there are three lawyers

Who work as her attorneys

And also before the surgery...

you signed the consent form

You can't sue her

Mr. Hu, what should I do?

The way I see it, only option is that...

I'll negotiate with her

and hopefully she will pay $10,000

You can find another doctor

And fix your breast

$10,000?

For all my loss

I'm sorry I can't help you very much

You're very famous. Ms Mo

It'll be in the headlines...

if this news leaks out

It'll no longer be a secret

Can you take the embarrassment?

You'd better think it over

What's your decision?

All right. I'll take 10,000

My charge is 50%

I only get 5,000 dollars

This is our rule. Will you take it?

Yes. Alright

Great! Please go home first

I'll inform you as soon as possible

Thank you

Good bye

Ms Liang

Will you bring Ms Yoko in?

OK

Please come in

Hello, Mr. Hu

Have a seat

My client asked me to press charges against you...

because her surgery failed

What are the conditions...

if we settle outside court ?

You have to pay her $150,000

And I'll help you settle

$150,000?

But she signed the consent form

The results aren't my responsibility

Don't forget you don't have license

Surgery without registration

You could be doing time for 5 years

The matter can be resolved...

If you pay 150,000

You can continue with your work...

and earn 2 million a year

Think of it as a meager investment

It's very cheap

5 years in jail

Or your freedom...

with $150,000

It's your choice

I'll pay $150,000

Do you guarantee no more problems?

Of course! With my honor

All right! I agree

Congratulations! Ms Yoko

There are no worries anymore

Thank you

Please

- Good bye - Good bye

That only took a couple of minutes

And you got $150,000

But we have to give Ms Mo $5,000

She needs to fix her breast

You're not that bad after all

We're going to play Bridge with Senator Chen

We're late! Let's go!

Please deposit this check into my account

Please sign the contracts, Mr. Hu

Leave them on my desk. I have to go

Let's

She ruined my career

And the rest of my life

Please send her in!

Come in! Miss

Come here! Don't be afraid

You can wait outside

I have to talk to the doctor

What can I do for you?

Doctor, she hardly bled

It didn't look like she was a virgin

You have to pay more attention this time

There are 4 more girls who will come to see you

All right. You can leave!

Should we fix this first? Doctor

No need; just anesthetize her lower half

It's oily everywhere. Inspector Lou

Is it really the oily maniac?

I deduce that the person...

put oil all over his body

So he can move faster

so it's easier to get away if he is caught

There isn't any oily maniac

Hello, Hu Ly Fa Law firm. Please wait

Sheng Yung. Your phone call

Hello, this is Sheng Yung

You did a great job last night.

Mr. Sheng

What are you talking about?

Who are you?

You don't need to know who I am

I need 5,000 dollars now

You'd better send it over...

or I'll tell the police about you

Is this a deal?

Yes, it's a deal

Please give me a little time to prepare

On the docks at 12 tonight

You'll die if you call the police

What should we do if he calls the police?

Will he? Ah Gou Chang

I have planned it out already

If they come from the sea...

We could use the land route for escape

If they come by land...

We can jump on this boat and take off

Great idea

What time is it?

It's almost 12:30.

Where is he?

Maybe he wouldn't come

Don't worry! He will come

Are you sleeping? Sheng Yung

I'll talk to you tomorrow. I'm busy

A battered male corpse found at Ba San dockyard

Sheng Yung, are you free tonight?

Yes

Please come to my house at 8

Sure

I'm sorry for being late

The food is cold. I'll heat it up

No, I've eaten

You ate?

I was at little Yue's place

She made curry chicken for me

That's my favorite

She can cook very well

Have you tried it before?

I only like hers

What's the matter? Xiao Ly

I'm sorry

I also cooked curry tonight

You have to forgive me. Xiao Ly

Go to your Little Yue. You can leave

It was my fault

Please excuse me

I'm sorry. It's my fault. I apologize

Good bye

Please stay a while

I really need to talk to you

I know that you like Little Yue

But she loves someone else

It doesn't matter

I know it but I still love her

Without any conditions

But you forgot one thing

What is it?

Two days ago I was off work

I went back to get my umbrella

I passed by Mr. Hu's office

I heard him talking to Fu Sin Chen

We've settled with Tin Choi Yang

Coconut oil Garden belongs to him

This is the check of 3 million dollars

Thank you

You really knew how to handle it

Ah Ba got mad and killed Tin Sho Yang

I ripped the agreement

It was well planned

Tin Choi Yang will pay 3 million...

to buy your coconut oil Garden

The only unfortunate one is Ah Ba

That's true

You not only got the money

But also his daughter

When are you getting married?

I'm not marrying her

She will be given to Tin Choi Yang

This was one of the conditions

Why didn't you tell me earlier...

Little Yue, Little Yue

Little Yue, I'll wait for you at the office

Please come to Coconut oil Garden

Fu Sin

Fu Sin Ge...

Fu Sin Ge! Where are you?

Fu Sin Ge!

Let me go!

Let me go!

How is it?

This is a great idea

Come on! Let's have another drink

Little Yue?

Little Yue, Little Yue

Little Yue...

I'm too late! Little Yue

I'm too late! I'm too late...

What are you doing?

What is he doing?

Let's drink! Fu Sin Ge

Please sit down

Let's forget about the misunderstanding

That's wonderful

he not only sold you the Coconut oil Garden

But also let you have his girlfriend

You two are such good friends

It's getting late. We have to leave

You may chat at ease

Would you be needing a car?

That's very nice of you but I have a car

He's gone

Good bye

Early tomorrow someone will come looking for me

To sue his wife for adultery

I should go home earlier

I work for you day and night

You're not appreciative and still thinking about your wife

You'll have to finish your work tonight first

All right! I'll listen to you

Look, what is that?

You should've realized the truth by now

Yes. I do

Why did you change? It's horrible

I don't know either. I'm...

I'm a killing monster

Are you going to kill me?

No. I won't kill you

It's not worth living anyway

I beg of you! Will you help me?

You can destroy me

I can't kill anymore

They all deserved it

My hands are full of blood

You can hand yourself in

No use

No one can stop me when I turn

Will you help me?

No. I can't do it

Then I'll destroy myself

Are you going to kill yourself?

No. not yet

I have two people to avenge for Little Yue

Two bastards

Who are they?

Tin Choi Yang and Fu Sin Chen

They have to die, one by one

Mr. Hu and his secretary were killed

We're looking for the killer

Please co-operate with the police

Inform us if there is any news

You can go back to work

Got killed? Are you sure?

We suspect all the workers

Except the crippled one

Keep your eyes on them

Tap their phones

Yes

Let me know if something comes up

You two, come along with me

The two of you stay here

Alright

Hello. Are you Mr. Yang?

Yes, I am

Who is speaking?

You don't need to know who I am

You're in danger. Leave now

To where?

Hello...

Send more people to here

Ask them watch the area carefully

Yes

Who was calling?

That lady

Ms Ly. Please come with us

OK

Check the Garden

Okay

Let's go! Hurry up, altogether

Don't let him through. Help me!

Let's go! Hurry!

Run! Hurry!

Don't shoot! No

Who else is he going to kill?

Please tell us. We have to stop him

You'd better get to Coconut oil Garden

Hurry up! Let's go to Coconut oil Garden

Who is it? Who?

Show your face. C'mon, quick

Fu Sin Chen

Who are you?

It's me. The Oily Maniac

Don't kill them! Sheng Yung
