Take your time, find the hole first

That's not bad for the first time, let's give him a hand!

Return to your seat

Be careful

Slowly, mind your steps

Now I'll show you how to be a good host

Suppose I was your guest,

you'd ask me if I'd like coffee or tea

After the guest has made their choice,

then you ask how they want it

Doggie will demonstrate

Doggie

When will my mother come?

Doggie, I'm your guest now

When will my mother come?

Doggie,

serve your guest

Would you like coffee or tea?

T ea is fine, thank you

Would you like sugar?

Yes, please

Cream?

Mother

Mother!

You should leave the door open and let some air in

Why don't you ever want to get out of here?

How is Doggie?

Mother, I've brought you some food,

rice noodles, canned food, biscuits

How is Doggie?

Not much improvement

He might have to spend the rest of his life there

Mom, Dad has never visited him

I hope he's dropped dead!

I also brought you the tea you wanted

Can you really drink all of that?

I use it to get rid of the stink

Stink?

Yes, stink...

the smell from your damned father's clothes

That's why I need the tea

Why not use camphor?

No

Camphor will ruin the medicine

But you said it was father's clothes,

why is it medicine now?

Father has only been away for two months and you're already saying he's dead

I'm positive,

he's dead

Some more makeup for Shu Ya

- How's the lighting? - Ready

The camera

- How's this? - Ok, ready

A bit closer

Good, now turn

That's it for today. Develop the negative quickly

Shu Ya, get changed

- Shu Ya, why don't you get changed? - I'm off then

How do you feel about your first commercial?

It's tough, the work days are long

It took me more than ten hours!

Why don't you come to my place for some tea?

- I better not - What, your mother won't let you?

No

- Oh, your boyfriend? - No

- Are you afraid of me? - No,

I just don't want to go

Well, this is my place

Have a look around

Wow, it's like a museum

Where do you get all this weird stuff?

I buy some and steal others

I just stole this

You stole it? What is it?

Don't say a word. Let's talk about something else

- What would you like to drink? - Anything

- That belongs to my mother - You sleep in the same bed as your mother?

No, it protects me from evil

So she wears this kind of underwear, huh?

Don't tease her

Champagne? I don't drink

Are you afraid I'll take advantage of you?

No, I just don't drink

Neither do l. Why don't we get drunk together?

That way neither of us will be taking advantage of the other

Shu Ya, hey, Shu Ya

Wake up. C'mon, wake up

What time is it?

It's 1 0, I'm going to be late

Here's the key,

Ieave it in the mailbox after you leave

Father, your medicine is ready

- Again? - Drink it

- Bitter - It's good for your health

Master, master!

Master, something's wrong!

What's the matter?

The statue was stolen?

Master!

Master, the statue was stolen!

Master, master!

Master, the statue at the temple was stolen!

Stolen?

Fi nd it, quickly!

Don't get upset, the doctor says you musn't get upset

We can ask the police to investigate,

if it was stolen then someone must be responsible

Now don't worry, I'll buy you another one

But you can't buy the history of the statue

Master, you must rest

Very well. Chen, the boss wants you

- Is Mr. Mo in? - Your name please?

Shu Ya, the model in the commercial

- Just a moment please - Thank you

Are you free tonight?

What is it?

Can't you at least have the courtesy to knock? What is it?

A lady named Shu Ya is here to see you

- Shu Ya? - The model from the commercial

I'm very busy today

Wait

Give her these pictures

T ell her to keep them as a souvenir

Ms. Shu Ya, Mr. Ho can't spare any time to see you

He gave you these pictures as a souvenir

Souvenir?

Why does it smell so much in here?

The landlord said the house stank too much

so I burned some incense

Mother, why are you polishing dad's statue?

The monk said he'll reincarnate today,

as an animal, of course

Actually, he'd be no different as an animal

Are you feeling alright? I'll get you a cup of tea

Have some tea

- What are you doing mother? - Who's the man in this picture?

You opened my letter?

Who is this man?

- A friend - A friend? Do you mean a boyfriend?

Just a friend who happens to be a man, so what?

- I won't allow it - You're going too far!

Have you slept with him?

I asked if you've slept with him!

Mother, I'm an adult, I can do anything I like

I can sleep with as many men as I want!

Mother?

Mother?

A rat! I'll kill you, I'll kill you!

Is that father? How did he die?

How did he die?

I killed him

He was always fooling around with other women...

and so he caught syphilis

He would've been dead by now anyway

When he came back home two months ago...

Get your hands off me!

What are you doing?

Let go of me!

His corpse started to rot

He stank when he was alive too

You shouldn't have killed him

I shouldn't have?

Your brother had to go to a school for retarded children,

whose fault was that?

And you...

Me?

Yes, did you go have a thorough check up?

Are you sure you're healthy?

I'm alright, I must be!

- Hi Mary - Good morning Mr. Mo

- Is the boss in? - Yes, he's downstairs

- I'll go down there and find him - Alright

Mr. Ho

Long time no see Mr. Ho

How are you?

I was just in the area and thought I'd drop by and say hello

Find anything good lately?

Yes, you've come at just the right time

You saw the statue, but this is different

This was dug out from an ancient Tang dynasty grave,

a real chinese antique

Although this statue's making was recorded,

it had never been found

There are seldom antiques of this kind, it's a rare piece,

so it's very precious

Excuse me, how much does this statue cost?

This is from a grave

Yes, how much are you asking?

I'll sell it for 30,000

Taxi!

- Where to? - Yuan Long

- Yuan Long? Sorry, I'll be off soon - I'll pay you more. Hey!

It's hard to get a taxi at this hour, Miss. I can give you a ride if you don't mind

Come on, get in

- What's your name? - Li Ting Ting, what's yours?

- Mo Hsieh Sheng - Mo Hsieh Sheng?

- What's so funny? - Your name,

it sounds like the name of a bad guy from a story book

30,000 for a broken clay statue, it's not worth it

You think it's too expensive?

No, I don't mean that

Money is no object to me

Why don't you like it then?

Is it different from the one that was stolen?

Yes. This statue is an antique

It's a collectors item

It's for decoration, not a statue for offerings,

on top of that its hand is broken

My previous one had been baptized,

it had also been blessed, and-

Master

Time to take your medicine

The thief will be punished,

he won't be able to have any children

Why's she so furious? It was just a statue, not her husband

She's not married yet

She's worked for my family for many years

and took care of my father when I was studying in England

Do you have any plans?

I want to be a designer,

I'm not sure if l can find a job like that

Come in

Liu, let me introduce you

Miss Li Ting, Ting, my colleague Mr. Liu

- How do you do? - He's very good at his job

We both are, I am in my work and you are with the girls

Ms. Li graduated in design in England,

we've invited her to join our design department

We need talent like Ms. Li's,

we could do with some new ideas

Thank you Mr. Liu, your experience is invaluable

I'm not that experienced

- T elephone Mr. Mo - Excuse me

- So how long were you in the UK? - Thank you

Hello, Mr. Mo here, who's this?

Where are you?

Where are you taking me?

Somewhere safe, don't worry

- Yes? - Is Dr. Chang in?

- Your name please? - Mo, I've been here before

Come in

This is Mr. Mo, he's been here before

Show the lady inside

You wouldn't need this if you had taken precautions

Lie down, you'll be asleep very soon

What's the matter? What is it?

I'm scared, so scared

It won't take long, you can leave very soon

It's only a minor operation

She's asleep

Don't take my baby away

Don't take my baby away...

Hurry, give her another injection

Give me back my child!

Hsieh Sheng

Hsieh Sheng?

I don't want to talk about business

I want to take a rest

Alright, I didn't intend to do that anyway

I should go

Ting Ting...

do I look pale?

Yes, I thought you were mad at me

I had a bad night

Is there something I can do for you?

Are you free tonight?

Are you inviting me to dinner?

It's my birthday

Who is it?

Who are you?

Oh, it's you

Are you crazy or something?

So what is it?

What do you want at this hour?

Why don't you go home?

I want you to escort me to the hospital, I'm having a baby

You should have called an ambulance

But the child needs a father!

How do I know it's my child?

I'm only asking you to claim it

You want me to be the father of the child,

I have no interest in a bitch like you!

You shameless bastard!

I'm getting married next month,

I don't want my relationship with her to be ruined

And what are you going to do about me?

There's nothing serious between us,

no skin off my nose!

You fool!

Get your hands off me!

I hate you!

What's the matter with you?

- Shu Ya! - I hate your guts!

Are you out of your mind?

Get your hands off me!

- Help... - Shu Ya!

Help...

Help...

Shu Ya!

Hey, anybody there?

Is anybody there?

You'll pay...

you'll pay for what you've done!

How is the patient Doctor?

His condition is fair, he's only suffering from a minor concussion

He can be discharged in a couple of days

- But... - What?

The girl was burned to death

Girl?

How do you feel?

I'm fine, really

Has anyone come looking for me?

Don't worry about work, take a rest

Here's your medicine

- Allow me - Alright

Who was the girl in the car with you?

How do you know about that?

The doctor told me about it

What were you two doing there at night?

She was a commericial model, it's...

In this line of business l always have to deal with women,

this...

I don't want to dwell in the past,

but I don't want it to happen again

She was burned to the bone

Operation kit, please

Hey, over there

Where are you going?

What, are you two scared too?

No, I'll graduate next year, I've gotten used to it

No, it's only a body

Pass the knife

Put the box on the table

Be careful, don't break it

Don't worry so much

Are you finished yet?

Yes, want to check for yourself?

Two boxes are missing - Ting Ting put them upstairs this morning,

she wants to decorate your room

Ting Ting

- What is it? - I told you not to open it

It's only half open

Leave it for later

So what is it?

- l... - What?

- l... - Come on, what is it?

- My hands are dirty - So clean them

- You're so naughty! - Then why are you marrying me?

Hsieh Sheng

Listen

It's already 1 0 am

and they still want breakfast in bed

Hsieh Sheng, wake up

Someone screamed, go look

How did this happen?

What's the matter?

What happened?

All the fish are dead

What's the big deal, it's only fish

It's not that simple

This is an omen

Is she going crazy?

Hurry, it's almost time

What are you worshipping?

What's on her mind?

Please bless the family

What are you praying for?

All the fish died, that's a bad omen

Yin, don't be so superstitious!

Did you hear a baby crying the other night?

He was crying very sadly, wasn't he?

We have no neighbors here,

where would the sound come from?

The master has suffered from asthma since he was young,

he believed it could be cured with an embryo

I was a midwife in those days,

and he paid me a very high price

to help him get a fetus

There was an accident due to an overdose,

and I started to hear a baby's cry after that incident

The master was frightened, and he bought a statue

and performed an exorcism by putting the child's ashes

inside of it

The statue was then cursed and chained

in the temple for purification

But now the statue has been stolen

This must be fate

I'll be right back, I forgot the car keys

You'll get indigestion for sure!

You've been acting like my boss ever since you got married

Isn't dinner ready yet?

Did you hear something?

Nope

Yin!

Call an ambulance, hurry!

Get the priest...

I never expected Yin to end up like this

After working so many years for us...

Don't worry, it's over now

No, not yet, it's not over yet

Hsieh Sheng, you'll be punished!

Go get the priest...

Be strong, your son has been poisoned

If the priest didn't do this then he would surely die

I've cleansed the poison, you're well now

- Master - What's the matter sir?

I want you to perform an exorcism for me

My master is ill, find someone else

Please, my master needs rest

Master

The master really isn't feeling well

Do you remember Li Man? He donated this

Please help me just this once

The master says it's beyond his control

Do you know where the spirit is?

Yes

This is a buddha stamp,

and this scroll suppresses spirits

Take them and do as I tell you

Who are you?

You're asking me?

I'm the guard around here

I'm telling you,

everyone who comes in here has to go through me whether they're dead or alive

And what are you doing here?

I came to pray for a dead relative. Her name is Shu Ya

At this time of night?

Where is she?

She's here

Be careful, she's really furious

Everybody have a drink

What's wrong, haven't you slept?

I'm scared, I feel like something's going to happen

Don't worry. I went to visit the priest,

he helped me drive the spirit away

I did as he taught me

Give me back...

Give me the embryo...

Open up!

Open up! Open up!

Don't be so sad

Father said it wasn't over yet,

now he's dead. Who's next?

Try to rest now,

I'll go see the priest again

My master is dead, the spirit must be enraged

She killed my master,

but she's still looking for the man she's after

What should I do?

We can't just sit here. Do you dare come with me?

The seal was washed off with water

- What can we do? - My master left me an exorcism baton

It can get rid of the spirit,

but one must use their own blood as a sacrifice

Damn, I have to go

That's strange...

Is the corpse still in there?

Strange, it's gone

The corpse must still be around

We should leave

Leave? We have to avenge our master

You search upstairs, I'll search down here

By ourselves?

Go!

I'll need a weapon

- You taste good - Please, don't come any closer!

Don't come near me, I have a gun! Stay right there, or I swear I'll shoot!

I'll shoot, don't come closer!

Are you alright?

Alright, let's go

Master!

Help me!

Where can the spirit be?

Help!

Ting Ting! Ting Ting!

Ting Ting! rarelust
