Tenant Mr. Li of an apartment high-rise is weary of the return of his late mother's ghost. When she appears in the apartment, she haunts Li and his wife, who she blames for her death. Caught in the commotion is a crazy girl named Kwan and the apartment building's inept security guards. They are repulsed by all the paranormal activity; therefore, they seek the unlikely help of an escaped mental patient, Leon, a Professional-type wannabe who just happened to be passing by the apartment high-rise when all the ghostly events were taking place.
Mother, I'll burn paper money
for you. Rest in peace.
Almost time to throw things
down.
He's done it 3 nights this week.
Whoever runs away first pays
double.
Enough. The one who runs away
first pays double.
Those people are inconsiderate.
Why throw things out from such a
height?
Aren't we wasting time
waiting for them to throw
things?
Xiao Long, tonight's the first
week since Madam's death.
Burn some incense for her.
There's no elevator tonight.
It's exhausting to climb up the
stairs.
What are you doing here?
There's hardly any spaceto walk
here.
She's putting on a show.
What use is all this ritualif
you were not filial?
Right. If she were truly filial,
she shouldn't ask old peopleto
run errands at night.
They might dieand nobody would
know.
Madam Zhang, who are you
referring to?
Mr. Li.
If I did anything to offend you
while you were alive,
I hope you would show mercy
and forgive us.
Open the door, quick!
Sister, open up!I have to get
something!
Mom, sister didn't openthe door
again!
Open up!You want to die?
You've locked yourself upthis
week and also the last.
My sister is lovelorn again.
I hear something.
It's getting nearer.
I can't stand it any longer!
You must. Don't let that old guy
laugh at you.
Who are you calling "old guy"?
You lazy bones!
The housing departmentwill soon
come for a check.
Throw it over there this time.
Mr. Hu.
- Where's Ah Lu?- Over there.
Add more men?Wouldn't that cost
money?
- Let me think about it. - But
the few of us--
Mr. Lu, could you lend mesome
money?
Go to hell!
- Mr. Lu. - Bastard!
Ah Jiang, give this letter to my
husband.
I want to part with him.
- Madam--- Brother Jiang. . .
The novelty shop in the
mallcloses at ten.
They usually deposit the moneyin
the bank the next day.
Let's go and steal ittomorrow
night.
No, the florist next dooris
better.
Why?
The girl there has a big bosom.
Rape her.
You are so useless.
Let's do it tomorrow night.
Then we rape her afterwards.
After the heist, you'll have
money.
Then you could get a hooker.
Come on. Have some principles in
life, okay?
We'll rape herafter we've had
fun with the hooker.
What's up?
Last week, an old woman died
here.
This week, would there be. . .
You chicken.
We're upright. What have we to
fear?
Come on.
Check the tenth floor.
Crush me. Come on.
You are being lazy again.
Why are you lying there?
My wife has left mefor someone
else.
Get up. Don't block the way.
Let me die!
Then go smash your brainsagainst
the wall.
Are you nuts?You'd take my
chance to die?
There's no prize for it.
Who has thrownthe fridge down?
Captain, Xiao Longhas
disappeared!
Don't panic.
He might be out playingand will
return soon.
No, he's disappearedfor an hour.
I even picked up his watchin the
elevator.
Watch?
Must have bumped intoa sex
maniac.
Are you nuts?
He is a boy!Why would a sex
maniac want him?
Sodomy.
You want to die?
Get lost with your bullshit!
If not sodomy, then the reason
must be ransom.
Shut your mouth!
I'll kill you!
Alright. Let me.
You bastard, what are you talking
about?
Sleep here awhile.
Mr. Li, let's go upstairsand
call the police.
Okay.
Captain, please.
Don't fret. The police have been
notified.
They'll find your son in no
time.
His dad is a humble chefwith a
meager salary.
He isn't rich. So why kidnap Xiao
Long?
Mr. Li, what's the matter?
My mother was here.
You must be kidding.
Look. The chicken leg is gone.
My mother must have eaten it.
Are you so sure?
She used to love itwhen she was
alive,
and ate it sitting in this
chair, like you.
Could she have returnedto look
for me?
Don't be like this.
Cool it. I'll get you some water.
Your mother's hiding
there, having a drumstick!
What is it?
Mom.
Xiao Long?
It's late. Where are you going?
Pung!
I will forget Johnnyfrom this
minute on.
God, give me a new start.
Alright, I promise you.
Didn't I promise you?Speak.
Okay. Speak.
Again.
It's twelve.
Have a sip. No?Forget it, then.
Stay calm. It's not your first
time.
What?
It's my duty to execute
justicefor the heavens.
Right?If I don't do it, who
would?
Don't worry about me.
It's time.
Sorry.
Next time, if your sonwants to
have a chicken leg,
tell him not to eatin shady
areas.
He'll scare people to death.
Sure. Sorry. Thank you, Captain.
Take care.
Tonight, let's take Xiao Longto
the hotel.
Pack up. I'll call and book a
room.
Could you tell methe telephone
number
for Good View Hotel?
- Xiao Long!- What hotel?
What is it?
Xiao Longhas disappeared again.
Xiao Long!
Wait here. I'll go and look.
I'll go with you.
Stay home.
Hello?
Has Xiao Long returned?
No.
I'll return at once with captain
Lu.
Mom!
Xiao Long!
Want to get away?
You are a beast. You killed me.
I'll kill you!
You can't escape.
Xiao Long.
What are you doing here?
He's possessed!
- Wife!- Husband!
- What's the matter?- Xiao Long
is possessed.
Who was that just now?
He got rid of Xiao Longwith a
loudspeaker.
What's going on?
It's your mom.
If she doesn't die even
whenapplied with high voltage,
then cockroachwill rule the
world.
You like to scare people.
It's wrong. Did you know that?
Yes.
Then call home and say "sorry. "
Really?
Yes.
Hello?
I'm your mother.
They all ran off scared.
Your voice is too sickening.
Must you sound so spooky?
Never mind. I'm a ghost anyway.
So what's the big deal?Must you
be so arrogant?
I'm not. They killed me,
and I want revenge today!
Let's speak over there.
Cool!
Mom.
Grandma.
Did I offend you?
You want to compete with meto
die first?
Who is it?
- Security captain?- Yes.
I am Leo.
Leo.
Your hands have electricity.
- Are you frightened?- You
aren't frightened?
Frightened?
That ghostshould have left the
kid
but is still in this building.
- Right. - Captain.
- Is there a 7-Eleven around
here?- Little Seven?
- 7-Eleven. - 7-Eleven? Yes.
Get a bottle of conditioneron
the way back.
- What for?- Your hair is in bad
condition.
- It's time to nourish it. - What
are you talking about?
Ghosts detestseeing someone all
spruced up.
So adding highlights to your
hair
is a good reason for doing so.
Give me 500 dollars.
Here you go.
Thanks.
What's the money for?For the
ghost?
No, I have no money for a taxi.
You are not making sense. Are you
nuts?
Yes, he's mentally handicapped!
This bastard sneaks awayevery
time I sleep!
Bring him back! Go!
I'm not going back!
We get on well. Let's chatback
at the mental institution.
Come on!
No! Let me go!
Is there anyonethis brave
nowadays?
Do you know where he lives?
Zhong Guang Mental Hospital.
I'll look for him after work.
Ah Qun, even if you lose Johnny,
you needn't look for a nutcase.
He's no nutcase.
He's, in fact, a visionaryliving
in a mental hospital.
You think I don't know?
"Zhong Guang Mental Hospital"
Who are you looking for?Visiting
hours are over.
- Robbery!- What's the matter?
Besides his passionfor the arts,
Vincent van Goghwas a religious
fanatic.
He would rather go hungrythan
part with all his money.
Einstein's theory on
relativityinfluenced
many of our successfulscientific
theories,
such as F equals maare not
correct.
Steven Spielberg called melast
evening,
asking how the Jurassic Park
sequelshould be filmed.
Looking for me?
Yes.
Let me ask you, do you believe in
flying saucers?
- Or the Loch Ness Monster?- I
do.
We can talk then. I am Leo.
Ah Qun.
- Yesterday you were quite---
Bold.
How come you'vebeen locked up
here?
Because I fear nothing,
and that's precisely the
reasonwhy people think I'm nuts.
- I lost something. - What?
Something important.
How come you fear nothing?
Are you afraid?
It's a fake.
Are you afraid if it's real?
That's right.
You're afraid because you don't
believe the gun is real.
Anything can happen in this
world.
Why? Because you have no
imagination.
Einstein once said,
"Imagination is more important than knowledge.
Imagination can make the
impossible possible. "
Are you afraid?
Alright. I tell you, I saw a
flying saucer when I was a kid.
That is what peoplecall a UFO
now.
UFO. Do you understand?
When I was four, I saw the Loch
Ness Monster,
and I chatted with the yeti of
the Himalayas.
Also, I have been playing roller
coaster every morning since I wasa kid,
and then I play with pirate
ships in the afternoon.
I've even played bothin the
morning and afternoon,
then played pirate shipsagain in
the evening.
Let me tell you this, I always
say to young people,
"Don't try to accomplish
everythingin the short term. "
My success is the result of many
trials.
I have seen terrible things, even
the weirdest things.
What could be frighteningto me?
Then is our housereally haunted?
Yes. I knew it already.
- How? - Lily told me.
- Who's she?
- This pot of flowers.
It's shocking!
There's an even more shocking
matter which will happen in yourhouse.
I'll get it resolved right now.
He's asleep. Don't wake him.
Are you done?
Not yet.
Do you two understand what I am
talking about?
I need more men, but I don't
understand
why Mr. Wu has sent you both.
I don't speak Fukienese. You two
don't understand Mandarin.
There's no communication at all.
It's your first night at work
tonight.
Go and make the rounds
from upstairs to downstairs.
We'll meet in the office in an
hour.
What did he say?
Did he tell us we can get off
work now?
Can we go home now?
Yes. One hour.
- Great. - We're off.
You two finally follow what I am
saying? Go on.
Okay.
Great. Getting off work so early.
I might bump into a ghost
anytime. Damn.
Anyone coming upto accompany me
down? Tieh Dan?
It's late. Why are you so loud?
Sorry. May I use your phone?
Damn you. Use the one in your
office.
Ghosts, excuse me. I am just
passing through.
Captain Lu, help me.
Madam Li, I am not
responsible for your death.
Don't harm me.
I only want your help.
How could I help you?
Since you are willing, I'll come
out and talk to you.
Please don't!
Just stay on one side and talk to me!
Alright, then. First of all, lend
me forty dollars.
What do you want that for?
I need dope.
You need dope?
Ah Ming!
Captain Lu.
Damn kid!You stealing again?
- I'll kill you!
- I haven't stolen.
Damn it.
Captain Lu, help me.
Still one left. Why are you not going?
Damn, are you going or not?
How come it fell off so easily?
Not your fault. Don't be afraid.
A ghost!
I haven't done anything
wrong. Don't hurt me.
I have only been a Peeping Toma
few times.
Captain Lu, if I wanted to hurt you,
I would have done so last night
when I was seeking revengeon my
son and his wife.
You came looking for revenge?
They killed me
and are sure to suffer for it.
Please reconnect my head.
I'll tell you the whole story.
Reconnect your headto your body?
Thanks for the trouble.
You're welcome.
Sorry. I didn't meanto poke at
your nostrils.
So tell me the whole thing.
I'll report it to the policeand
avenge you.
Thanks, captain Lu.
Why are you standing here?
Just helping to reconnectyour
mother's head.
You want to call the police?
Stop drinking.
I've arranged a date for you. Be careful.
Come. Go to the washroom quickly.
You're my good brother.
How come she ain't here yet?
I'll call her.
We're rich this time.
- Take care of it for me.
-Captain!
I'll kill you! Don't run!
Why did you hack him?
You bitch! Why have you snatched
my money?
Did you think I wouldn't
recognize you?
Stop!
Stop!
Don't fight with me over a girl!
Wait for me!
What's wrong with you, woman?
I told you to stop!
If you keep that up, I'll leap on
you.
I'll pay you for the whole
service. Come on.
Quick, look!
What do you want now?
Where's your head?
Turn back.
- Impossible!- What's the
matter?
- Lost your money, right?- Yes.
Damn you!
- Yes, I am a dead man's skull.
-Ghost!
Help!Someone stabbed me
upstairs.
Don't go up!
No way out. I'm dead!
Damn!Go to the middle floor.
You're bleeding. I'll take you to
the hospital.
Captain, thanks. I'm very grateful.
It's okay. Anyone would do it.
A kind deed is for oneself, too.
Captain, you're using me as a shield.
Please put me down.
No. You've been hurt badly.
I'll take you to the hospital.
Thanks. Who can take me to the hospital?
Don't.
Jump!
Go on!
Don't!
Jump, do you hear?
You killed your motherand want
to kill us, too!
Jump!
Shut up! Let's do it!
No. Killing your motheris no big deal.
If you want to, you could kill
mine, too.
I am not as despicable as you.
Actually, I didn't mean to kill
my mother.
She was quarreling with Ah
Yun the other day,
and I was aboutto separate them,
but accidentally pushed heronto
the freezer.
I didn't kill my motheron
purpose.
- Jump!- Go on!
What's happening here?
Don't move!
It's not him. It should be those
two with the knives.
Sorry.
Don't move!
Husband!
Oh, honey!
You killed my husband.
I told him not to move. Everyone
heard that.
It's not my fault.
It's not your fault?
I'll die with him, and you'll pay
in blood.
You needn't get dressed in red.
Do you want to end upas a
poltergeist?
Alright. Wait.
There's no alternative. Die now.
Could I buy you a drink?
An eye for an eye. I'll shoot her.
I'll become a poltergeistand
kill you all!
Could I compensate youwith
money?
How much?
Depending on whateveris
agreeable to you.
Got her.
She couldn't die just like this.
I can't let her die like this.
You can't die like this. Wake up!
Everyone knows she is dead.
Save your effort and help me.
He's dying. Quick.
Wake up!
Would he kill us all, too?
Call the police.
Are you done?
Could she resurrectafter that beating?
Why did you save me?
We could talk this through.
You needn't come back to haunt us.
My husband is dead!
Look what I've become. I'll die
with him.
Let's see how you can save me!
Get a pack of ice from 7-Eleven.
- What for?- Just go quickly.
Do we need transportation?
- Luckily, she didn't shoot the head.
- Could she be saved?
Don't know. Give her a blood
transfusion first.
There's no blood here.
There's blood all over his
face. Carry him here.
You're nuts.
Please, come and help.
- Kid, what do you want?
- Don't move.
What's your blood type?
- AB. - AB?
She belongs to the B type. Why
didn't you say so?
Blood transfusion is only
possiblebetween the same type.
Do you haveany medical
knowledge?
Here's the ice.
Put it on the wound.
Please leave some for me.
I have bled a lot, too.
Give me a hand.
Grab her hand.
You two, come here.
Where are you going?
Please do a good deedand kill me.
I don't want to suffer anymore.
Why did you save me?
I now know what it meansto live
a living death.
You might hit her headwith the
gun.
You might have another way.
Those I've killedcould never be
saved.
The night when the soul
returnswill be a bloody night.
Many a life will be destroyed.
Call the policeif there's any
problem.
I know.
Excuse me.
Sorry.
Why did the Lisjump to their
death?
That's the point.
It's okay. Go back to sleep.
What about the kid?
You bastards.
One going to find a
prostitutewhile at work,
another onepimping a whore for
the other.
You two are even worse. Stealing
things!
Do you know what would happenif
you're caught?
And there's the incidentof the
ghost in the building.
Mr. Wu said not to leak it out.
Are you clear?
Master, what's to be done now?
I have sent the old lady's
soulback to hell.
How?
Didn't you hear me flushing?
At my age, I didn't expect
to have relationswith an
80-year-old hag.
Come on. Treat it as a relief.
Stop your bullshit.
She mademy private parts
swollen.
I feel numb.
Really numb.
He's pissing.
See, I didn't even realize
that. I'm certainly dead.
What's to be done?
Don't panic. I think we are all
hungry.
Let's eat first.
- What would you like?- Fruits.
Ah Jiang, get him some fruits.
What kind?
Steamed orangewith black salted
beans,
and green chili and tofu sauce.
Slightly spicy.
Good morning.
This is the first lesson.
Let's define the meaning of
fear.
To understand different kindsof
fear is simple.
Who dares to kiss him?
I do.
She's really ugly.
I can't do it. Sorry.
It's okay. You've looked at me
for so long.
You're marvelous.
Training should bea gradual
process.
Why should we startat a high
level of difficulty?
Right. Let's try something else.
There's a pile of shitin my
hands.
Who dares to comeand touch it?
There are many choices. Why pick
something so disgusting?
Why not?
You're saying becauseyou have
enjoyed tertiary education
and have come fromthe upper
segment of society,
you feel something like fecesis
meaningless and disgusting?
Similarly, you've been toldby
your mom as a kid
that ghosts are horrifying.
Even if shit doesn't stink, you'd
still detest it.
And if a ghost leaves you
alone, you'd still be frightened.
If you could think
otherwise, that would be good.
Come and touch it, if you dare.
I have. What have I experienced?
I don't feelI have learned
anything.
How about this?
You should learn well.
This gentleman fails to
relinquish traditional values.
That's why he's so scared.
Black magic.
Even if you knewit would take
some time
before it explodes, you would be
scared to hold it.
Even the bravest man, if he were
to hold on to it,
would be scared to death.
But I am not scared.
I mistakenly grabbeda
short-fused firecracker.
But I didn't shed a tear.
Now you all know I am gutsy.
Let's continue.
The doc said only a row of my
teethhas been damaged.
I was lucky.
But, in a jiffy, if there's
another accident,
and consideringmy injury is
serious,
I might not be ableto continue
to teach you all.
That's why I will elevate the
training.
What you'll receive now
is the Russian wayto train your
courage.
After I light the fuse, pass it
down.
See who is the unlucky one.
- I don't want to be like him. -
Stay calm.
Sorry. Too much pressure. I give
up.
I risk my life to train you.
Who dares leave? Sit.
Quick. Give it to me.
Hurry.
Experiencing fear already?
It's going to explode. Catch.
Not so fast.
- That's the way it should be. -
Wait.
- Your turn. Come on. - I have to
look for something. Wait.
- Take it. - Wait, I said.
Yours.
Yours now.
Toss it to me!
You devil, you have your
helmetand bulletproof vest on.
You screwed me!
A ghost is an energy force
that's always present in the
world.
If it died unjustly, its energy
field is even greater.
That's why they could
influenceour visual nerves
and cause hallucinations.
The ghost of Mrs. Liwas one such
example.
If the influence of the
energy affects our brain and, motor nerves,
we call it possession.
That's the case with the Lis.
But that is rare.
Rather, it is common for
ghoststo be everywhere,
but without affecting us.
There's one over there right
now.
And one on the ceiling.
Another at my back.
Pal, just listen.
And don't rest your handon my
shoulder. Thanks.
I can't stand any excitementas I
am injured.
Teach us how to catch a ghost.
Shrink-wrap plastic to catch
themand chocolate to beat them.
Shrink-wrap plasticcontains
sulfuric acid
and could seal inthe ghost's
energy particles.
Chocolate contains milk, and
ghosts are afraid of cows.
That's why cow devils who
serve the king of Hades are, abundant.
What's with you?
There's a reaction.
I'll teach you something else.
This is a cow's tear.
Just rub it lightly on the
eyelids, and one could see, spirits.
Where are they?
I told you rub faster. They're
all gone now.
Damn it. He cheated us. Beat him
up.
Wait!
Ghost.
There's one wearing a red
dressand with long hair. See it?
Don't run! Halt!
What do we do?
Give it another chance!Get her!
Get her!
You have to pay for the damages.
The one in the red dress!Get
her!
Where's my purse?
Sir, you're sitting on my
wallet.
Excuse me, please.
I have been dead for many years.
You are the first one to see me.
Let's be friends.
There really are ghosts.
Bitch, taking drugs in broad
daylight!
What are you doing?Help!
Robbery!
Robbery? Check her.
She has a pulse. Can't be a
ghost.
Nuts. You shouldn't take her
pulse.
Listen for the heartbeat.
There indeed is a heartbeat.
I don't believe it.
There really is.
I don't believe it either.
Impossible.
Go away. My turn.
What are you doing?Go away. I'm
not done yet.
We checked her heartbeat. What's
next?
- Check something else. -
Alright.
Don't move! Police!
- I'll cut him into pieces. -
Stay calm.
He told us to rub cows' tears and
made us look like monkeys', asses!
What nonsense!
Ah Qun, where's that nutcase?
Upstairs.
You bastard, still swinging up
there!
Are you peeing?Come down!
Right. I want to introducethis
flying machine
I have inventedwith much effort
over the years.
The ghost I saw in a red
dressthis morning,
I am sureshe was looking for
vengeance.
But when I chased her, she was
gone in a wink.
So I feel if we could fly,
and with the sensitivityof this
pot of flowers,
it'd be easier to catch a ghost.
He said if one puts it onand
faces the air, one can fly.
Fly.
Stop fooling around.
What happened this morninghas
driven them crazy.
- What's on your mind?- Play
with them one more time.
Don't. They wantto kill you
right now.
They are all very angry now.
Not to mention, I want to kill
you, too.
Don't you get it?
Try to seeif you can fly out of
here.
I am still tryingto protect you,
even thoughI know that you are
nuts.
I just hope you can becomea
useful person one day.
But now you ask me to fly from
here?What rubbish is that?
Go ahead and fly out from
here, if you trust me.
How dare you hit my brother!
Give me the chain!
Crazy!
I'm going to kill you!
Come on. I'm invincible.
Who dares to call me a fake?
Come and try to stab me.
Stop playing the fool.
I've never been afraid of you.
I'll kill you any wayand any
time I want.
I'll cut your heart out.
What are you laughing at?
Let me tell you, I am not scared
of anything.
I must kill you today.
Shut up. Stop talking nonsense
with him.
Hold out your hand.
Hold out the other one.
Your head, too.
If I don't strike this blow,
my whole family will die.
If I kill you, I would have to go
to jail.
I won't be that stupid.
Stab me.
Let me cheer you on. Come and
stab me. Hurry.
Stab me.
Damn! Yes!I don't dare kill you!
I don't dare kill you.
You have to compensate mea total
of $36. 80.
Alright.
Calm down.
Let me.
Forget it.
I trust you.
I really have seen a ghostthis
morning.
He didn't lie to us.
Wait. One more victim is here.
Don't know wherethis piece of
iron came from.
If not for this railing, I could
have avoided it.
I won't let her go outafter what
she has done.
May the God of Chivalryprotect
us.
Captain, you are wrong.
How could you believewhat that
crazy man said?
Although he is crazy, you all saw
it, too.
Mrs. Li's spirit came back7 days
after her death.
So what?
Stop squabbling. Today, two will
go in a group.
Big cat will do his rounds with
me.
Tieh Dan will go with youto the
shopping arcade.
Ah Jiang and Xiao Mengwill
patrol
the corridor of the arcadeand
the cargo elevator.
- What about me?- You stay at
the office.
What about the two of us?
To the elevators! Go!
Captain, do you thinkthose two
non-locals
would take French leave?
- Let me ask them. - How?
What's happening over there?Tell
me.
That's all I know.
Why are they laughing?
That means it's alright.
You have a strange wayof
communicating.
Yes. Let's go.
Go to the back.
Alright. I'm going.
Ghost!
Help!
Help!
Ghost!
Beard!
Captain Lu.
Captain Lu.
Must have gone on patrol.
The wallet is gone.
You talk too much.
- Damn!- What?
Beard's dead!
- What did he say?- I just could
understand a little bit.
- Never mind him. - Wait!
What is it?
Blood. It's blood.
- You're frozen?- You want to
quit?
- Wait. - What is it?
He said he's got a sore throat.
Can't you give him a lozenge?
I've finished them all.
Don't go.
How dare you play deadon the
floor
and not go to work!
He's like you, sleeping around.
What do you mean?It's because of
your bad leadership.
How dare you talk to me like
that?
Stop it.
- Come. Open the door. - Go away.
It's a woman's voice.
Ah Jiang wants a prostitute?
Sounds like Ah Qun.
Ah Qun has become a prostitute?
Damn it.
- Go. - You go.
Go!
So big!
He's come back for revenge!
It's not our fault.
What's happening?
It's all an illusion.
Unplug it, and everything will be
fine.
Check out Ah Jiang. Ah Jiang.
- What's going on?- Are you
alright?
You crazy man, why did you come
back again?
Ah Jiang!
Someone's dead!
No, he's come back to save us.
Leo!
Is this your appendix?
Yes.
Did I cut it off?
That's right.
That's great. Even the
doctorpraises you for your, skill.
You all know that I am
invincible.
But all of a sudden, I've got
appendicitis.
That made melose concentration.
At the same time, Ah Qun stabbed
me.
When I stabbed youwith a knife,
it so happened thatI cut off
your inflamed appendix?
Yeah.
Great! I am really great!
Then you don't evenneed a
doctor.
There was a hole in your
belly. So all you have to do
is take a pair of chopsticksand
take it out.
Wrong. Doctors don't use
chopsticks, they use pincers.
That's right. The doc just sewed
you up.
So you can just walk outas if
nothing has happened.
You're wrong. I sneaked outin a
hurry to come here.
So I sewed it up myself.
You did?
What about your bad tooth?Did
you just
knock it off with a hammer?
You are wrong again.
Everyone would think of a
hammer.
Instead, I used an ironto smooth
it out.
Don't always say I am wrong.
I know that you have made upall
these stories.
Try to guess it correctly for
once.
Let me be correctfor once,
alright?
Let me save face, alright?
Of course, I should try to save
your face.
But there are times
when you will lose it yourself.
Ah Jiang and Ah Chang's
deaths were caused by some kind, of power
which disturbed their brain
waves
and caused them to hallucinate.
Did you notice thatthey did not
have any injuries?
They were, in fact, frightened to
death.
That's why I've always told
youto have strong faith,
but you don't listen.
Take the appendix caseas an
example.
When Ah Qunstabbed me with a
knife,
if it wasn't for my
appendicitis--
Isn't the bladderbelow the
appendix?
Wrong. The bladder is here, the
appendix over here.
You shut up!
I don't want to hearabout your
appendix again.
Stop it.
That's enough!
Dear audience, ghosts will appear
at twelve.
I'll give you allsome
psychological counseling here.
You still wantto hear this
madman talk?
What do you mean?What do you
want?
Get out of the way.
Why did you have to mentionmy
appendix?
You nutcase!
You bunch of trash, there aren't
any ghosts.
There's a ghost at twelve?I am
the ghost!
You're all crazy.
You guys accompany himto catch
the ghost.
I am going home to take a bath!I
quit!
I knew you'd return.
Sorry for what I've said.
Sorry.
Won a prize?
Yes. The ghosts of the Lisare
outside.
They were gone in a wink.
Then?
Then I came back quickly.
Tell me as soon as you knowof
anything in the future.
- It's a deal. - Brother, forever
at your service.
You're my leader.
My life is in your hands, from
today on.
Very good boy.
Thanks. Have a smoke first.
Forget it.
From now on, everything you see
is imaginary.
Don't let it distract you.
Just focus, and no ghost can harm
you.
Careful.
Switch it off.
Sorry. I wanted some suitable
music
to create the right atmosphere.
Switch it off!
I did. It turned on by itself.
I had nothing to do with it.
Let me first. I am in more of a
hurry.
Me first!
Me first!
I can't hold it!
Stay calmas if nothing has
happened.
Just act normal.
I am okay. Just need to pee.
What's the big deal?I have seen
it all.
I'm going to drink some water.
All is imaginary. I must overcome
it.
Help me lock it up.
Want to scare me?Not that easy.
Oh, I haven't wiped my ass.
Hello?
I died horribly.
What's up?Speak slowly.
I am hereto seek revenge from
you.
What are you saying?I can't make
it out.
This is so exaggerated.
Dying is no big deal. It's just
water.
Pretend it's nothing
Rub the face
Feels much better.
I am a real ghost.
I really don't knowwhat you're
saying.
I want revenge.
What are you talking about?
What?So embarrassing.
I have managedto conquer the
mirage at last!
Follow the beat.
What beat?
The beat of the music.
What's a beat?Let me see.
See the beat?
This is also a beat.
- Follow my beat. - I want to
follow my own beat.
Stop arguing.
None of your business!Shut up!
Are you followingmy beat or not?
Stop nagging. I have never
followed it,
and don't intend to.
You really won't?
Yes. So?
You want to know?
Why are you so fierce?
You don't understand. I must be
fierce.
You take me for a fool?
Don't let her go!Get her!
I almost forgot. There's one
more.
Captain Lu, please don't.
You've got the wrong person.
Ghostbuster, I'll kill you first.
Your turn.
Go. Quick.
What are you looking at? Go!
Kid, don't run!
Let's cut it off!
Strangled by a ghost,
bleeding, and you're still alive!
Strangled and bleeding to death
are two different things. Don't
get them mixed up.
Are you alright?
- Yes. And you?- I'm okay.
What's up?
My flowers! Oh, totally
forgot! I'll go back and get, them.
You just used the axto hack her.
It's for ghostsand won't harm
humans.
You were possessed.
Why didn't I know that?
I really don't know anything.
It's because you are not
determinedenough, so the ghost, possessed you.
You must have a strong willand
not move an inch.
Right.
Give me the axe first.
Bring it here.
Alright. You come get it.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Damn you!
A mousetrap!
You didn't think of that?
- Ready?- Ready!
It hurts. What is it?
A mousetrap. It saved you.
I've got it.
Okay, you go that way. I'll go
this way.
- Go!- Yes.
I won't wear anything next time.
The ghostbusters are here!
He's there! Don't run!Don't run!
You can't get away.
Don't move!
Damn fatty, the ghostbusters will
get you.
Sorry. I feel a little nauseated.
Wait-- What?
- Nothing. - Louder.
Nothing!
Again.
So it's like this. Alright.
Why is it gone?
What are you looking for?
I've found it.
Is your hand alright?
It's caught. It's okay.
Could you pull it out?
Yes.
Would my hand be in the way?
No.
You could put it backif you
like.
I've caught you!Where can you
run?
Got it.
Catch.
Got it.
Take these.
I really haven't--
Haven't what?
Stop nagging, and just kill him!
Release my wife at once.
Do it yourself, if you can.
Hurry! Call the police!
This way!
Alright.
Xiao Meng!
If I could escape it, I must be
meant for better things.
I should try my luck at the
casino.
It's late, and yet someone is
sawing?
It sounds so sad.
Help!
No way out!
Don't be afraid. That ghost can't
catch up this fast.
What's to be done now?
Shut up. Can't you see I'm
thinking?
Got it. It depends if you have
the guts.
What?
Let's turn around and use our
feet to walk step by step to the, door.
Then open the door and go
downstairs.
- Okay with this?- Okay.
Let's go.
Turn around.
Didn't you sayit wouldn't catch
up so soon?
- You're still joking! Let's
go!- Where to?
Climb up there!
Hurry!
Stay calm!
It's too dangerous here. You go
first.
- It's not my fault!- Neither is
it mine!
- Hurry! Come up!- Climb up!
Quick!
Brother, I really need a rest. I
owe you money?
Alright. Even if it's true, I can
pay you the interest first.
Give me a chance. Take it as tea
money.
Give me your head!
Use more strength!
What can you do to me?
I'll send you to hell
and let the king of Hadesdrown
you
and feed you to the fishes,
then desecrate your corpsein
public.
Sorry. No more strength.
What's so funny?I'll kick you.
Gotcha.
Luckily, I hid a bamboo.
- Over there!- Hurry!
Help!
No way a banana peelsolved that.
The scaffolding is going to
fall!Hurry and go out!
The door is locked!
What do we do?
It's going down.
Stand still.
Stay calm. It won't topple.
Besides, according to Newton's
law, from where we stand,
it won't crush us even if it
topples.
I knew he'd come, though I didn't
expect it to be soon.
He walked right into it this
time.
When he comesthrough the door,
the scaffoldingwill topple and
crush him.
- He deserves to die!- Dismantle
the scaffolding.
Come. Shake with all your might.
Use your feet!
- Anyone got some tools?- I got
one!
There's a saw.
Does it work?
Keep it for a manicure.
I'll bite it!
Bite that side.
It's a ghost!
Let's run before he gets up.
That side is going to topple!
No! I have a morbid fearof
heights!
Don't stay here! Go!
Run quickly!
Wait for me!
You got more bananaand
watermelon peel?
Isn't today a race day?
You've got inside information?
Do you have the racing news?
Stand still. I have another plan.
You're mad.
Come. Take it. One each.
What is this?
The latest '95 model. We'll fly.
Think of nothing else
except. . . to fly!
Fly!
Fly!
Brother, my pants are expensive.
I forgot. There's one left in my
pants.
Grenade?
Right.
Go to hell!
I ain't lying, believe me.
I have never lied. Trust me.
Four people are flying!
Ah Mei, I haven't lied!
Are we dreaming?
Hey, how about we flyto Buenos
Aires
and look for my birth mother?
If we don't stop, would we end up
at the South Pole?
Right. Nearest to hell.
I see.
I could also use my teeth!
Hurry! Close the door!
Go.
Get away! Take it!
Come. Hack my head.
The ghost has possessed me, but
has been trapped inside
by my will.
Just saw through my temples,
and he'll be damned forever.
Then you will die, too?
It's okay. Somebody has to do
it. Come here.
Come on, baby.
Let me fulfill your wish.
If I don't kill you today,
my men will go un-avenged.
Hurry while I can still control
it.
Don't wait any longer!
If he gets out, we'll all die.
Could you bear to kill him?
Be patient. Last night was his
time to return.
Wonder why he hasn't returned.
He'll surely returnafter a few
days.
Damn!I am a renowned lawyer,
yet I am doing crazy thingswith
you nutcases.
I have at leastbeen highly
educated
and dwell in high society.
I really believedghosts rubbed
this on my eyes?
You lot have murderedand should
be sentenced to death.
You're lucky to end upin a
psychiatric ward.
She's the unluckiest one.
She's innocent, and we feel sorry
for her.
Sorry? I feel happy.
At least I got something, sitting
here the whole night.
I've been sitting heresince last
night.
For 14 hours and 8 minutes, to be
exact.
Never mindabout the 8 minutes.
I charge $3, 600 per hour.
It'll be a total of $50, 400.
I'll send you a bill later.
This is not a problem. As long as
you be our consultant
in our new invention, money is
not a problem.
What new invention?
- This one. - Oriental Newspaper?
Wrong. It's a flying machine.
I'll show you.
This is the greatest inventionof
the century.
It's called "The Flying. "With
it,
you'll never need air tickets.
No need to fly on an airplane.
Put it on, and you can fly. Come,
fly.
Fly out?Are you crazy?
Don't you have the guts?Be
brave. You go.
Alright.
Why did you push him?
I thought you just asked meto
push him.
Didn't have enough faithhe'd die
if you pushed him?
Go save him!
Thank you.
Sorry. Too many friends, too many
social functions.
That's why I'm back late.
for you. Rest in peace.
Almost time to throw things
down.
He's done it 3 nights this week.
Whoever runs away first pays
double.
Enough. The one who runs away
first pays double.
Those people are inconsiderate.
Why throw things out from such a
height?
Aren't we wasting time
waiting for them to throw
things?
Xiao Long, tonight's the first
week since Madam's death.
Burn some incense for her.
There's no elevator tonight.
It's exhausting to climb up the
stairs.
What are you doing here?
There's hardly any spaceto walk
here.
She's putting on a show.
What use is all this ritualif
you were not filial?
Right. If she were truly filial,
she shouldn't ask old peopleto
run errands at night.
They might dieand nobody would
know.
Madam Zhang, who are you
referring to?
Mr. Li.
If I did anything to offend you
while you were alive,
I hope you would show mercy
and forgive us.
Open the door, quick!
Sister, open up!I have to get
something!
Mom, sister didn't openthe door
again!
Open up!You want to die?
You've locked yourself upthis
week and also the last.
My sister is lovelorn again.
I hear something.
It's getting nearer.
I can't stand it any longer!
You must. Don't let that old guy
laugh at you.
Who are you calling "old guy"?
You lazy bones!
The housing departmentwill soon
come for a check.
Throw it over there this time.
Mr. Hu.
- Where's Ah Lu?- Over there.
Add more men?Wouldn't that cost
money?
- Let me think about it. - But
the few of us--
Mr. Lu, could you lend mesome
money?
Go to hell!
- Mr. Lu. - Bastard!
Ah Jiang, give this letter to my
husband.
I want to part with him.
- Madam--- Brother Jiang. . .
The novelty shop in the
mallcloses at ten.
They usually deposit the moneyin
the bank the next day.
Let's go and steal ittomorrow
night.
No, the florist next dooris
better.
Why?
The girl there has a big bosom.
Rape her.
You are so useless.
Let's do it tomorrow night.
Then we rape her afterwards.
After the heist, you'll have
money.
Then you could get a hooker.
Come on. Have some principles in
life, okay?
We'll rape herafter we've had
fun with the hooker.
What's up?
Last week, an old woman died
here.
This week, would there be. . .
You chicken.
We're upright. What have we to
fear?
Come on.
Check the tenth floor.
Crush me. Come on.
You are being lazy again.
Why are you lying there?
My wife has left mefor someone
else.
Get up. Don't block the way.
Let me die!
Then go smash your brainsagainst
the wall.
Are you nuts?You'd take my
chance to die?
There's no prize for it.
Who has thrownthe fridge down?
Captain, Xiao Longhas
disappeared!
Don't panic.
He might be out playingand will
return soon.
No, he's disappearedfor an hour.
I even picked up his watchin the
elevator.
Watch?
Must have bumped intoa sex
maniac.
Are you nuts?
He is a boy!Why would a sex
maniac want him?
Sodomy.
You want to die?
Get lost with your bullshit!
If not sodomy, then the reason
must be ransom.
Shut your mouth!
I'll kill you!
Alright. Let me.
You bastard, what are you talking
about?
Sleep here awhile.
Mr. Li, let's go upstairsand
call the police.
Okay.
Captain, please.
Don't fret. The police have been
notified.
They'll find your son in no
time.
His dad is a humble chefwith a
meager salary.
He isn't rich. So why kidnap Xiao
Long?
Mr. Li, what's the matter?
My mother was here.
You must be kidding.
Look. The chicken leg is gone.
My mother must have eaten it.
Are you so sure?
She used to love itwhen she was
alive,
and ate it sitting in this
chair, like you.
Could she have returnedto look
for me?
Don't be like this.
Cool it. I'll get you some water.
Your mother's hiding
there, having a drumstick!
What is it?
Mom.
Xiao Long?
It's late. Where are you going?
Pung!
I will forget Johnnyfrom this
minute on.
God, give me a new start.
Alright, I promise you.
Didn't I promise you?Speak.
Okay. Speak.
Again.
It's twelve.
Have a sip. No?Forget it, then.
Stay calm. It's not your first
time.
What?
It's my duty to execute
justicefor the heavens.
Right?If I don't do it, who
would?
Don't worry about me.
It's time.
Sorry.
Next time, if your sonwants to
have a chicken leg,
tell him not to eatin shady
areas.
He'll scare people to death.
Sure. Sorry. Thank you, Captain.
Take care.
Tonight, let's take Xiao Longto
the hotel.
Pack up. I'll call and book a
room.
Could you tell methe telephone
number
for Good View Hotel?
- Xiao Long!- What hotel?
What is it?
Xiao Longhas disappeared again.
Xiao Long!
Wait here. I'll go and look.
I'll go with you.
Stay home.
Hello?
Has Xiao Long returned?
No.
I'll return at once with captain
Lu.
Mom!
Xiao Long!
Want to get away?
You are a beast. You killed me.
I'll kill you!
You can't escape.
Xiao Long.
What are you doing here?
He's possessed!
- Wife!- Husband!
- What's the matter?- Xiao Long
is possessed.
Who was that just now?
He got rid of Xiao Longwith a
loudspeaker.
What's going on?
It's your mom.
If she doesn't die even
whenapplied with high voltage,
then cockroachwill rule the
world.
You like to scare people.
It's wrong. Did you know that?
Yes.
Then call home and say "sorry. "
Really?
Yes.
Hello?
I'm your mother.
They all ran off scared.
Your voice is too sickening.
Must you sound so spooky?
Never mind. I'm a ghost anyway.
So what's the big deal?Must you
be so arrogant?
I'm not. They killed me,
and I want revenge today!
Let's speak over there.
Cool!
Mom.
Grandma.
Did I offend you?
You want to compete with meto
die first?
Who is it?
- Security captain?- Yes.
I am Leo.
Leo.
Your hands have electricity.
- Are you frightened?- You
aren't frightened?
Frightened?
That ghostshould have left the
kid
but is still in this building.
- Right. - Captain.
- Is there a 7-Eleven around
here?- Little Seven?
- 7-Eleven. - 7-Eleven? Yes.
Get a bottle of conditioneron
the way back.
- What for?- Your hair is in bad
condition.
- It's time to nourish it. - What
are you talking about?
Ghosts detestseeing someone all
spruced up.
So adding highlights to your
hair
is a good reason for doing so.
Give me 500 dollars.
Here you go.
Thanks.
What's the money for?For the
ghost?
No, I have no money for a taxi.
You are not making sense. Are you
nuts?
Yes, he's mentally handicapped!
This bastard sneaks awayevery
time I sleep!
Bring him back! Go!
I'm not going back!
We get on well. Let's chatback
at the mental institution.
Come on!
No! Let me go!
Is there anyonethis brave
nowadays?
Do you know where he lives?
Zhong Guang Mental Hospital.
I'll look for him after work.
Ah Qun, even if you lose Johnny,
you needn't look for a nutcase.
He's no nutcase.
He's, in fact, a visionaryliving
in a mental hospital.
You think I don't know?
"Zhong Guang Mental Hospital"
Who are you looking for?Visiting
hours are over.
- Robbery!- What's the matter?
Besides his passionfor the arts,
Vincent van Goghwas a religious
fanatic.
He would rather go hungrythan
part with all his money.
Einstein's theory on
relativityinfluenced
many of our successfulscientific
theories,
such as F equals maare not
correct.
Steven Spielberg called melast
evening,
asking how the Jurassic Park
sequelshould be filmed.
Looking for me?
Yes.
Let me ask you, do you believe in
flying saucers?
- Or the Loch Ness Monster?- I
do.
We can talk then. I am Leo.
Ah Qun.
- Yesterday you were quite---
Bold.
How come you'vebeen locked up
here?
Because I fear nothing,
and that's precisely the
reasonwhy people think I'm nuts.
- I lost something. - What?
Something important.
How come you fear nothing?
Are you afraid?
It's a fake.
Are you afraid if it's real?
That's right.
You're afraid because you don't
believe the gun is real.
Anything can happen in this
world.
Why? Because you have no
imagination.
Einstein once said,
"Imagination is more important than knowledge.
Imagination can make the
impossible possible. "
Are you afraid?
Alright. I tell you, I saw a
flying saucer when I was a kid.
That is what peoplecall a UFO
now.
UFO. Do you understand?
When I was four, I saw the Loch
Ness Monster,
and I chatted with the yeti of
the Himalayas.
Also, I have been playing roller
coaster every morning since I wasa kid,
and then I play with pirate
ships in the afternoon.
I've even played bothin the
morning and afternoon,
then played pirate shipsagain in
the evening.
Let me tell you this, I always
say to young people,
"Don't try to accomplish
everythingin the short term. "
My success is the result of many
trials.
I have seen terrible things, even
the weirdest things.
What could be frighteningto me?
Then is our housereally haunted?
Yes. I knew it already.
- How? - Lily told me.
- Who's she?
- This pot of flowers.
It's shocking!
There's an even more shocking
matter which will happen in yourhouse.
I'll get it resolved right now.
He's asleep. Don't wake him.
Are you done?
Not yet.
Do you two understand what I am
talking about?
I need more men, but I don't
understand
why Mr. Wu has sent you both.
I don't speak Fukienese. You two
don't understand Mandarin.
There's no communication at all.
It's your first night at work
tonight.
Go and make the rounds
from upstairs to downstairs.
We'll meet in the office in an
hour.
What did he say?
Did he tell us we can get off
work now?
Can we go home now?
Yes. One hour.
- Great. - We're off.
You two finally follow what I am
saying? Go on.
Okay.
Great. Getting off work so early.
I might bump into a ghost
anytime. Damn.
Anyone coming upto accompany me
down? Tieh Dan?
It's late. Why are you so loud?
Sorry. May I use your phone?
Damn you. Use the one in your
office.
Ghosts, excuse me. I am just
passing through.
Captain Lu, help me.
Madam Li, I am not
responsible for your death.
Don't harm me.
I only want your help.
How could I help you?
Since you are willing, I'll come
out and talk to you.
Please don't!
Just stay on one side and talk to me!
Alright, then. First of all, lend
me forty dollars.
What do you want that for?
I need dope.
You need dope?
Ah Ming!
Captain Lu.
Damn kid!You stealing again?
- I'll kill you!
- I haven't stolen.
Damn it.
Captain Lu, help me.
Still one left. Why are you not going?
Damn, are you going or not?
How come it fell off so easily?
Not your fault. Don't be afraid.
A ghost!
I haven't done anything
wrong. Don't hurt me.
I have only been a Peeping Toma
few times.
Captain Lu, if I wanted to hurt you,
I would have done so last night
when I was seeking revengeon my
son and his wife.
You came looking for revenge?
They killed me
and are sure to suffer for it.
Please reconnect my head.
I'll tell you the whole story.
Reconnect your headto your body?
Thanks for the trouble.
You're welcome.
Sorry. I didn't meanto poke at
your nostrils.
So tell me the whole thing.
I'll report it to the policeand
avenge you.
Thanks, captain Lu.
Why are you standing here?
Just helping to reconnectyour
mother's head.
You want to call the police?
Stop drinking.
I've arranged a date for you. Be careful.
Come. Go to the washroom quickly.
You're my good brother.
How come she ain't here yet?
I'll call her.
We're rich this time.
- Take care of it for me.
-Captain!
I'll kill you! Don't run!
Why did you hack him?
You bitch! Why have you snatched
my money?
Did you think I wouldn't
recognize you?
Stop!
Stop!
Don't fight with me over a girl!
Wait for me!
What's wrong with you, woman?
I told you to stop!
If you keep that up, I'll leap on
you.
I'll pay you for the whole
service. Come on.
Quick, look!
What do you want now?
Where's your head?
Turn back.
- Impossible!- What's the
matter?
- Lost your money, right?- Yes.
Damn you!
- Yes, I am a dead man's skull.
-Ghost!
Help!Someone stabbed me
upstairs.
Don't go up!
No way out. I'm dead!
Damn!Go to the middle floor.
You're bleeding. I'll take you to
the hospital.
Captain, thanks. I'm very grateful.
It's okay. Anyone would do it.
A kind deed is for oneself, too.
Captain, you're using me as a shield.
Please put me down.
No. You've been hurt badly.
I'll take you to the hospital.
Thanks. Who can take me to the hospital?
Don't.
Jump!
Go on!
Don't!
Jump, do you hear?
You killed your motherand want
to kill us, too!
Jump!
Shut up! Let's do it!
No. Killing your motheris no big deal.
If you want to, you could kill
mine, too.
I am not as despicable as you.
Actually, I didn't mean to kill
my mother.
She was quarreling with Ah
Yun the other day,
and I was aboutto separate them,
but accidentally pushed heronto
the freezer.
I didn't kill my motheron
purpose.
- Jump!- Go on!
What's happening here?
Don't move!
It's not him. It should be those
two with the knives.
Sorry.
Don't move!
Husband!
Oh, honey!
You killed my husband.
I told him not to move. Everyone
heard that.
It's not my fault.
It's not your fault?
I'll die with him, and you'll pay
in blood.
You needn't get dressed in red.
Do you want to end upas a
poltergeist?
Alright. Wait.
There's no alternative. Die now.
Could I buy you a drink?
An eye for an eye. I'll shoot her.
I'll become a poltergeistand
kill you all!
Could I compensate youwith
money?
How much?
Depending on whateveris
agreeable to you.
Got her.
She couldn't die just like this.
I can't let her die like this.
You can't die like this. Wake up!
Everyone knows she is dead.
Save your effort and help me.
He's dying. Quick.
Wake up!
Would he kill us all, too?
Call the police.
Are you done?
Could she resurrectafter that beating?
Why did you save me?
We could talk this through.
You needn't come back to haunt us.
My husband is dead!
Look what I've become. I'll die
with him.
Let's see how you can save me!
Get a pack of ice from 7-Eleven.
- What for?- Just go quickly.
Do we need transportation?
- Luckily, she didn't shoot the head.
- Could she be saved?
Don't know. Give her a blood
transfusion first.
There's no blood here.
There's blood all over his
face. Carry him here.
You're nuts.
Please, come and help.
- Kid, what do you want?
- Don't move.
What's your blood type?
- AB. - AB?
She belongs to the B type. Why
didn't you say so?
Blood transfusion is only
possiblebetween the same type.
Do you haveany medical
knowledge?
Here's the ice.
Put it on the wound.
Please leave some for me.
I have bled a lot, too.
Give me a hand.
Grab her hand.
You two, come here.
Where are you going?
Please do a good deedand kill me.
I don't want to suffer anymore.
Why did you save me?
I now know what it meansto live
a living death.
You might hit her headwith the
gun.
You might have another way.
Those I've killedcould never be
saved.
The night when the soul
returnswill be a bloody night.
Many a life will be destroyed.
Call the policeif there's any
problem.
I know.
Excuse me.
Sorry.
Why did the Lisjump to their
death?
That's the point.
It's okay. Go back to sleep.
What about the kid?
You bastards.
One going to find a
prostitutewhile at work,
another onepimping a whore for
the other.
You two are even worse. Stealing
things!
Do you know what would happenif
you're caught?
And there's the incidentof the
ghost in the building.
Mr. Wu said not to leak it out.
Are you clear?
Master, what's to be done now?
I have sent the old lady's
soulback to hell.
How?
Didn't you hear me flushing?
At my age, I didn't expect
to have relationswith an
80-year-old hag.
Come on. Treat it as a relief.
Stop your bullshit.
She mademy private parts
swollen.
I feel numb.
Really numb.
He's pissing.
See, I didn't even realize
that. I'm certainly dead.
What's to be done?
Don't panic. I think we are all
hungry.
Let's eat first.
- What would you like?- Fruits.
Ah Jiang, get him some fruits.
What kind?
Steamed orangewith black salted
beans,
and green chili and tofu sauce.
Slightly spicy.
Good morning.
This is the first lesson.
Let's define the meaning of
fear.
To understand different kindsof
fear is simple.
Who dares to kiss him?
I do.
She's really ugly.
I can't do it. Sorry.
It's okay. You've looked at me
for so long.
You're marvelous.
Training should bea gradual
process.
Why should we startat a high
level of difficulty?
Right. Let's try something else.
There's a pile of shitin my
hands.
Who dares to comeand touch it?
There are many choices. Why pick
something so disgusting?
Why not?
You're saying becauseyou have
enjoyed tertiary education
and have come fromthe upper
segment of society,
you feel something like fecesis
meaningless and disgusting?
Similarly, you've been toldby
your mom as a kid
that ghosts are horrifying.
Even if shit doesn't stink, you'd
still detest it.
And if a ghost leaves you
alone, you'd still be frightened.
If you could think
otherwise, that would be good.
Come and touch it, if you dare.
I have. What have I experienced?
I don't feelI have learned
anything.
How about this?
You should learn well.
This gentleman fails to
relinquish traditional values.
That's why he's so scared.
Black magic.
Even if you knewit would take
some time
before it explodes, you would be
scared to hold it.
Even the bravest man, if he were
to hold on to it,
would be scared to death.
But I am not scared.
I mistakenly grabbeda
short-fused firecracker.
But I didn't shed a tear.
Now you all know I am gutsy.
Let's continue.
The doc said only a row of my
teethhas been damaged.
I was lucky.
But, in a jiffy, if there's
another accident,
and consideringmy injury is
serious,
I might not be ableto continue
to teach you all.
That's why I will elevate the
training.
What you'll receive now
is the Russian wayto train your
courage.
After I light the fuse, pass it
down.
See who is the unlucky one.
- I don't want to be like him. -
Stay calm.
Sorry. Too much pressure. I give
up.
I risk my life to train you.
Who dares leave? Sit.
Quick. Give it to me.
Hurry.
Experiencing fear already?
It's going to explode. Catch.
Not so fast.
- That's the way it should be. -
Wait.
- Your turn. Come on. - I have to
look for something. Wait.
- Take it. - Wait, I said.
Yours.
Yours now.
Toss it to me!
You devil, you have your
helmetand bulletproof vest on.
You screwed me!
A ghost is an energy force
that's always present in the
world.
If it died unjustly, its energy
field is even greater.
That's why they could
influenceour visual nerves
and cause hallucinations.
The ghost of Mrs. Liwas one such
example.
If the influence of the
energy affects our brain and, motor nerves,
we call it possession.
That's the case with the Lis.
But that is rare.
Rather, it is common for
ghoststo be everywhere,
but without affecting us.
There's one over there right
now.
And one on the ceiling.
Another at my back.
Pal, just listen.
And don't rest your handon my
shoulder. Thanks.
I can't stand any excitementas I
am injured.
Teach us how to catch a ghost.
Shrink-wrap plastic to catch
themand chocolate to beat them.
Shrink-wrap plasticcontains
sulfuric acid
and could seal inthe ghost's
energy particles.
Chocolate contains milk, and
ghosts are afraid of cows.
That's why cow devils who
serve the king of Hades are, abundant.
What's with you?
There's a reaction.
I'll teach you something else.
This is a cow's tear.
Just rub it lightly on the
eyelids, and one could see, spirits.
Where are they?
I told you rub faster. They're
all gone now.
Damn it. He cheated us. Beat him
up.
Wait!
Ghost.
There's one wearing a red
dressand with long hair. See it?
Don't run! Halt!
What do we do?
Give it another chance!Get her!
Get her!
You have to pay for the damages.
The one in the red dress!Get
her!
Where's my purse?
Sir, you're sitting on my
wallet.
Excuse me, please.
I have been dead for many years.
You are the first one to see me.
Let's be friends.
There really are ghosts.
Bitch, taking drugs in broad
daylight!
What are you doing?Help!
Robbery!
Robbery? Check her.
She has a pulse. Can't be a
ghost.
Nuts. You shouldn't take her
pulse.
Listen for the heartbeat.
There indeed is a heartbeat.
I don't believe it.
There really is.
I don't believe it either.
Impossible.
Go away. My turn.
What are you doing?Go away. I'm
not done yet.
We checked her heartbeat. What's
next?
- Check something else. -
Alright.
Don't move! Police!
- I'll cut him into pieces. -
Stay calm.
He told us to rub cows' tears and
made us look like monkeys', asses!
What nonsense!
Ah Qun, where's that nutcase?
Upstairs.
You bastard, still swinging up
there!
Are you peeing?Come down!
Right. I want to introducethis
flying machine
I have inventedwith much effort
over the years.
The ghost I saw in a red
dressthis morning,
I am sureshe was looking for
vengeance.
But when I chased her, she was
gone in a wink.
So I feel if we could fly,
and with the sensitivityof this
pot of flowers,
it'd be easier to catch a ghost.
He said if one puts it onand
faces the air, one can fly.
Fly.
Stop fooling around.
What happened this morninghas
driven them crazy.
- What's on your mind?- Play
with them one more time.
Don't. They wantto kill you
right now.
They are all very angry now.
Not to mention, I want to kill
you, too.
Don't you get it?
Try to seeif you can fly out of
here.
I am still tryingto protect you,
even thoughI know that you are
nuts.
I just hope you can becomea
useful person one day.
But now you ask me to fly from
here?What rubbish is that?
Go ahead and fly out from
here, if you trust me.
How dare you hit my brother!
Give me the chain!
Crazy!
I'm going to kill you!
Come on. I'm invincible.
Who dares to call me a fake?
Come and try to stab me.
Stop playing the fool.
I've never been afraid of you.
I'll kill you any wayand any
time I want.
I'll cut your heart out.
What are you laughing at?
Let me tell you, I am not scared
of anything.
I must kill you today.
Shut up. Stop talking nonsense
with him.
Hold out your hand.
Hold out the other one.
Your head, too.
If I don't strike this blow,
my whole family will die.
If I kill you, I would have to go
to jail.
I won't be that stupid.
Stab me.
Let me cheer you on. Come and
stab me. Hurry.
Stab me.
Damn! Yes!I don't dare kill you!
I don't dare kill you.
You have to compensate mea total
of $36. 80.
Alright.
Calm down.
Let me.
Forget it.
I trust you.
I really have seen a ghostthis
morning.
He didn't lie to us.
Wait. One more victim is here.
Don't know wherethis piece of
iron came from.
If not for this railing, I could
have avoided it.
I won't let her go outafter what
she has done.
May the God of Chivalryprotect
us.
Captain, you are wrong.
How could you believewhat that
crazy man said?
Although he is crazy, you all saw
it, too.
Mrs. Li's spirit came back7 days
after her death.
So what?
Stop squabbling. Today, two will
go in a group.
Big cat will do his rounds with
me.
Tieh Dan will go with youto the
shopping arcade.
Ah Jiang and Xiao Mengwill
patrol
the corridor of the arcadeand
the cargo elevator.
- What about me?- You stay at
the office.
What about the two of us?
To the elevators! Go!
Captain, do you thinkthose two
non-locals
would take French leave?
- Let me ask them. - How?
What's happening over there?Tell
me.
That's all I know.
Why are they laughing?
That means it's alright.
You have a strange wayof
communicating.
Yes. Let's go.
Go to the back.
Alright. I'm going.
Ghost!
Help!
Help!
Ghost!
Beard!
Captain Lu.
Captain Lu.
Must have gone on patrol.
The wallet is gone.
You talk too much.
- Damn!- What?
Beard's dead!
- What did he say?- I just could
understand a little bit.
- Never mind him. - Wait!
What is it?
Blood. It's blood.
- You're frozen?- You want to
quit?
- Wait. - What is it?
He said he's got a sore throat.
Can't you give him a lozenge?
I've finished them all.
Don't go.
How dare you play deadon the
floor
and not go to work!
He's like you, sleeping around.
What do you mean?It's because of
your bad leadership.
How dare you talk to me like
that?
Stop it.
- Come. Open the door. - Go away.
It's a woman's voice.
Ah Jiang wants a prostitute?
Sounds like Ah Qun.
Ah Qun has become a prostitute?
Damn it.
- Go. - You go.
Go!
So big!
He's come back for revenge!
It's not our fault.
What's happening?
It's all an illusion.
Unplug it, and everything will be
fine.
Check out Ah Jiang. Ah Jiang.
- What's going on?- Are you
alright?
You crazy man, why did you come
back again?
Ah Jiang!
Someone's dead!
No, he's come back to save us.
Leo!
Is this your appendix?
Yes.
Did I cut it off?
That's right.
That's great. Even the
doctorpraises you for your, skill.
You all know that I am
invincible.
But all of a sudden, I've got
appendicitis.
That made melose concentration.
At the same time, Ah Qun stabbed
me.
When I stabbed youwith a knife,
it so happened thatI cut off
your inflamed appendix?
Yeah.
Great! I am really great!
Then you don't evenneed a
doctor.
There was a hole in your
belly. So all you have to do
is take a pair of chopsticksand
take it out.
Wrong. Doctors don't use
chopsticks, they use pincers.
That's right. The doc just sewed
you up.
So you can just walk outas if
nothing has happened.
You're wrong. I sneaked outin a
hurry to come here.
So I sewed it up myself.
You did?
What about your bad tooth?Did
you just
knock it off with a hammer?
You are wrong again.
Everyone would think of a
hammer.
Instead, I used an ironto smooth
it out.
Don't always say I am wrong.
I know that you have made upall
these stories.
Try to guess it correctly for
once.
Let me be correctfor once,
alright?
Let me save face, alright?
Of course, I should try to save
your face.
But there are times
when you will lose it yourself.
Ah Jiang and Ah Chang's
deaths were caused by some kind, of power
which disturbed their brain
waves
and caused them to hallucinate.
Did you notice thatthey did not
have any injuries?
They were, in fact, frightened to
death.
That's why I've always told
youto have strong faith,
but you don't listen.
Take the appendix caseas an
example.
When Ah Qunstabbed me with a
knife,
if it wasn't for my
appendicitis--
Isn't the bladderbelow the
appendix?
Wrong. The bladder is here, the
appendix over here.
You shut up!
I don't want to hearabout your
appendix again.
Stop it.
That's enough!
Dear audience, ghosts will appear
at twelve.
I'll give you allsome
psychological counseling here.
You still wantto hear this
madman talk?
What do you mean?What do you
want?
Get out of the way.
Why did you have to mentionmy
appendix?
You nutcase!
You bunch of trash, there aren't
any ghosts.
There's a ghost at twelve?I am
the ghost!
You're all crazy.
You guys accompany himto catch
the ghost.
I am going home to take a bath!I
quit!
I knew you'd return.
Sorry for what I've said.
Sorry.
Won a prize?
Yes. The ghosts of the Lisare
outside.
They were gone in a wink.
Then?
Then I came back quickly.
Tell me as soon as you knowof
anything in the future.
- It's a deal. - Brother, forever
at your service.
You're my leader.
My life is in your hands, from
today on.
Very good boy.
Thanks. Have a smoke first.
Forget it.
From now on, everything you see
is imaginary.
Don't let it distract you.
Just focus, and no ghost can harm
you.
Careful.
Switch it off.
Sorry. I wanted some suitable
music
to create the right atmosphere.
Switch it off!
I did. It turned on by itself.
I had nothing to do with it.
Let me first. I am in more of a
hurry.
Me first!
Me first!
I can't hold it!
Stay calmas if nothing has
happened.
Just act normal.
I am okay. Just need to pee.
What's the big deal?I have seen
it all.
I'm going to drink some water.
All is imaginary. I must overcome
it.
Help me lock it up.
Want to scare me?Not that easy.
Oh, I haven't wiped my ass.
Hello?
I died horribly.
What's up?Speak slowly.
I am hereto seek revenge from
you.
What are you saying?I can't make
it out.
This is so exaggerated.
Dying is no big deal. It's just
water.
Pretend it's nothing
Rub the face
Feels much better.
I am a real ghost.
I really don't knowwhat you're
saying.
I want revenge.
What are you talking about?
What?So embarrassing.
I have managedto conquer the
mirage at last!
Follow the beat.
What beat?
The beat of the music.
What's a beat?Let me see.
See the beat?
This is also a beat.
- Follow my beat. - I want to
follow my own beat.
Stop arguing.
None of your business!Shut up!
Are you followingmy beat or not?
Stop nagging. I have never
followed it,
and don't intend to.
You really won't?
Yes. So?
You want to know?
Why are you so fierce?
You don't understand. I must be
fierce.
You take me for a fool?
Don't let her go!Get her!
I almost forgot. There's one
more.
Captain Lu, please don't.
You've got the wrong person.
Ghostbuster, I'll kill you first.
Your turn.
Go. Quick.
What are you looking at? Go!
Kid, don't run!
Let's cut it off!
Strangled by a ghost,
bleeding, and you're still alive!
Strangled and bleeding to death
are two different things. Don't
get them mixed up.
Are you alright?
- Yes. And you?- I'm okay.
What's up?
My flowers! Oh, totally
forgot! I'll go back and get, them.
You just used the axto hack her.
It's for ghostsand won't harm
humans.
You were possessed.
Why didn't I know that?
I really don't know anything.
It's because you are not
determinedenough, so the ghost, possessed you.
You must have a strong willand
not move an inch.
Right.
Give me the axe first.
Bring it here.
Alright. You come get it.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Damn you!
A mousetrap!
You didn't think of that?
- Ready?- Ready!
It hurts. What is it?
A mousetrap. It saved you.
I've got it.
Okay, you go that way. I'll go
this way.
- Go!- Yes.
I won't wear anything next time.
The ghostbusters are here!
He's there! Don't run!Don't run!
You can't get away.
Don't move!
Damn fatty, the ghostbusters will
get you.
Sorry. I feel a little nauseated.
Wait-- What?
- Nothing. - Louder.
Nothing!
Again.
So it's like this. Alright.
Why is it gone?
What are you looking for?
I've found it.
Is your hand alright?
It's caught. It's okay.
Could you pull it out?
Yes.
Would my hand be in the way?
No.
You could put it backif you
like.
I've caught you!Where can you
run?
Got it.
Catch.
Got it.
Take these.
I really haven't--
Haven't what?
Stop nagging, and just kill him!
Release my wife at once.
Do it yourself, if you can.
Hurry! Call the police!
This way!
Alright.
Xiao Meng!
If I could escape it, I must be
meant for better things.
I should try my luck at the
casino.
It's late, and yet someone is
sawing?
It sounds so sad.
Help!
No way out!
Don't be afraid. That ghost can't
catch up this fast.
What's to be done now?
Shut up. Can't you see I'm
thinking?
Got it. It depends if you have
the guts.
What?
Let's turn around and use our
feet to walk step by step to the, door.
Then open the door and go
downstairs.
- Okay with this?- Okay.
Let's go.
Turn around.
Didn't you sayit wouldn't catch
up so soon?
- You're still joking! Let's
go!- Where to?
Climb up there!
Hurry!
Stay calm!
It's too dangerous here. You go
first.
- It's not my fault!- Neither is
it mine!
- Hurry! Come up!- Climb up!
Quick!
Brother, I really need a rest. I
owe you money?
Alright. Even if it's true, I can
pay you the interest first.
Give me a chance. Take it as tea
money.
Give me your head!
Use more strength!
What can you do to me?
I'll send you to hell
and let the king of Hadesdrown
you
and feed you to the fishes,
then desecrate your corpsein
public.
Sorry. No more strength.
What's so funny?I'll kick you.
Gotcha.
Luckily, I hid a bamboo.
- Over there!- Hurry!
Help!
No way a banana peelsolved that.
The scaffolding is going to
fall!Hurry and go out!
The door is locked!
What do we do?
It's going down.
Stand still.
Stay calm. It won't topple.
Besides, according to Newton's
law, from where we stand,
it won't crush us even if it
topples.
I knew he'd come, though I didn't
expect it to be soon.
He walked right into it this
time.
When he comesthrough the door,
the scaffoldingwill topple and
crush him.
- He deserves to die!- Dismantle
the scaffolding.
Come. Shake with all your might.
Use your feet!
- Anyone got some tools?- I got
one!
There's a saw.
Does it work?
Keep it for a manicure.
I'll bite it!
Bite that side.
It's a ghost!
Let's run before he gets up.
That side is going to topple!
No! I have a morbid fearof
heights!
Don't stay here! Go!
Run quickly!
Wait for me!
You got more bananaand
watermelon peel?
Isn't today a race day?
You've got inside information?
Do you have the racing news?
Stand still. I have another plan.
You're mad.
Come. Take it. One each.
What is this?
The latest '95 model. We'll fly.
Think of nothing else
except. . . to fly!
Fly!
Fly!
Brother, my pants are expensive.
I forgot. There's one left in my
pants.
Grenade?
Right.
Go to hell!
I ain't lying, believe me.
I have never lied. Trust me.
Four people are flying!
Ah Mei, I haven't lied!
Are we dreaming?
Hey, how about we flyto Buenos
Aires
and look for my birth mother?
If we don't stop, would we end up
at the South Pole?
Right. Nearest to hell.
I see.
I could also use my teeth!
Hurry! Close the door!
Go.
Get away! Take it!
Come. Hack my head.
The ghost has possessed me, but
has been trapped inside
by my will.
Just saw through my temples,
and he'll be damned forever.
Then you will die, too?
It's okay. Somebody has to do
it. Come here.
Come on, baby.
Let me fulfill your wish.
If I don't kill you today,
my men will go un-avenged.
Hurry while I can still control
it.
Don't wait any longer!
If he gets out, we'll all die.
Could you bear to kill him?
Be patient. Last night was his
time to return.
Wonder why he hasn't returned.
He'll surely returnafter a few
days.
Damn!I am a renowned lawyer,
yet I am doing crazy thingswith
you nutcases.
I have at leastbeen highly
educated
and dwell in high society.
I really believedghosts rubbed
this on my eyes?
You lot have murderedand should
be sentenced to death.
You're lucky to end upin a
psychiatric ward.
She's the unluckiest one.
She's innocent, and we feel sorry
