Zhong gui (1983) - full transcript

Someone's digging up the graves

Don't let him escape... stop, stand still

He has been hit... let's go

Where is he? It's so weird

You...

Don't be afraid, I'm not yet dead

You must have thought I've been hit dead

I know black magic

How could I escape

if I don't deceive them with magic?

Hey, you almost scared me to death



Now take me back to the Tsui Jiao Garden

It's your rotten luck to run into me

You know,

it's bad luck to break up black magic

If you are lucky
you'll at the most be sick

if not, you and your family might die

I don't believe that

No? You will when something happens

How much?

Never mind

Would I really meet bad luck?

You've changed

I'm going to work

Let me give you a ride



Goodbye

Call me after work

Goodbye

Brother Ming, come again if you have time

Goodbye

Insurance, sir?

I suppose I'll need that

Mister

My name is Fang

Mr. Fang, would you like to buy insurance?

Wouldn't stand up against a
pretty woman, it's useless

Good

No

I'll add to my bet

they all have a Queen

I also want to find a woman for company

Alright, I'll give you one

Baby, I love you so much

No

Good...

20 points for the house

I quit

Mr. Fang, how much are you betting on?

Stack it up

I've been here everyday
in the past 2 weeks

how come I've never met you?

Been on leave for a month and have
just come back today

What's your name?

Irene

You'll all have your days

Where did you work before?

17 points, your call

No thanks

12 points, your call

I'll want it if it's of benefit to me

Then you'd better be good

What time do you finish work?
I'll treat you to supper

15 points, your call

No

Got a date with your boyfriend?

Don't know, All Good

Face Card...

Thank you

It's yours

Thank you

These are all yours

If it were not for you

I wouldn't bet again

So generous

Brother Ming, are you leaving?

Do you like it?

You want me to wear such nice shoes

and put on a tie to drive the taxi

I want you to look great
and have fun with me

Have fun? Come on

You shouldn't spend money like this

I've got some race tips last night,
I don't care

Give me a glass of wine

Good, win again

Won enough today

I want to raise my bet too

Irene, it's yours,
give me a call after work

Welcome

This way, please sit

What's going on?

My wife

Husband's heart once changed
it's tough to get him back

You are so right

What should we do?

Go

West

Me too

Hell! You dare to discard the last
West tile

Right, it would bring bad luck

I don't believe that

You better discard another tile

No, don't be so superstitious

Didn't you say your husband is
coming to pick you up?

How come he's so late?

He won't come

He's gonna go diving early
tomorrow morning

so he'll need more rest

You're naughty

He's gone, get up

An old friend?

My husband

So your husband is a taxi driver

We should have let him drive us
to the motel

You're back so early?

Business is slack;
thought I'd keep you company

No

I'm so tired

Green dragon

Thanks, mahjong

You play, I didn't win a game yet

I've lost a lot

Never mind

lt'd be worse if your husband was playing

3 women against one guy, he's sure to lose

Not necessarily

It's no big deal for Dr. Wang
to lose a bit

He can charge us more the next time
we go to his clinic

No, I won't

No problem, I don't really care

I've won at gambling

You're so addicted, other women
might grab your husband

What about you, aren't you addicted
to gambling too?

I'm different,
my husband stays with me everyday

Wish I could move out, what do you think?

I feel so disgusted every time I see him

What's the point of moving out?

I can't keep you company all day

We can't keep on dating secretly

Let's work it out this way

I'll go back & make it all clear
with my husband

And you divorce your wife

What do you say?

Do you agree or not?

Why don't you answer me?

What did you promise me
when you first met me?

Speak

Don't you know how to drive?

Get off...

What do you want?

Your car's brakes are pretty good

Would you dare race against us?

Qh, a beautiful girl is sitting
at his side

no wonder he's so brave

Don't say that

He's got a girl sitting next to him

let him show off

Well, so you don't dare race with me, huh?

Do you?

Racing? Wait until I've got another car

Qne on one if you really have guts

I'm sorry, it's our fault

That's more like it

Never mind, Paul, give the girl some face

Give her face, whatever you say

Lady, take my car

it's much more safe

Thank you

Go

Let's go

Goodbye, lady

Those two rascals are staring at you

Damn it

If I were really that attractive

you'd have divorced your wife long ago

If you are in your right mind

you'd know I won't divorce my wife

Alright, you go back to your wife

Pull the car over, aren't you stopping?

If you don't, I'll jump off

What are you doing? Irene...

Irene...

Go to your wife

Get back to the car, Irene...

Taxi

168 here, what is it?

Your wife has called you to the
Clearwater Bay booth

Got it, thank you

I'm sorry, it's out of service

What's wrong with you?

Idiot!

You boyfriend abandoned you,
I'll keep you company, go

Carry her to the car

No

Check upstairs

168 calling the center

168, go ahead

No one in the phone booth at
Clearwater Bay

Where's my wife?

How am I supposed to know?

Wait for a while

Paul, it's your turn

Me? No

We're in this together

No, I don't want to

Don't be afraid, go

After her, don't let her get away

Stop pretending, Paul, go

168, please answer

168 here, go ahead

Your wife is waiting for you
at the Yi Dong Mansion

What?

Said she's waiting for you at
Yi Dong Mansion

Thank you

Irene...

168 calling the center

Go ahead, 168

I'm at the Yi Dong Mansion

I don't see my wife

Yi Dong Mansion? Who asked you to go there

She's in the phone booth
at the Clearwater Bay

Didn't you call me changing the location?

You're nuts, I didn't call you

Mr. Chow, how come your wife is there?

I don't know

How did you find your wife's dead body?

The station called and asked me
to go there

I didn't see her there but found her
accidentally

How long have you been married?

Qver 3 months; but we knew
each other for over 4 years

Did she have any savings?

Two or three thousand maybe

Did she buy any life insurance?

No

We found something at the spot

Come with us

and see if it belongs to your wife

Alright

C'mon, hurry

You bitches, how dare you seduce
my boyfriend

They're all here, take a look

I've checked with the taxi station,
but they said

they never asked him to go to the
Yi Dong Mansion

There's something fishy here

You've seen them all?

Do they belong to your wife?

Where did she work before?

She works as a dealer at a casino

Any enemies?

No

Did she get home from work punctually?

Any lovers?

I don't know

You're lying

You knew that your wife had a boyfriend

and cuckolded you

So you murdered her

No

Stop pretending

We've already checked the records
at the taxi station

Your wife asked you over
at the Clearwater Bay booth

instead of Yi Dong Mansion

I swear the taxi station asked me
to go there

You're not in court,
there's no need to swear

You picked her up at Clearwater Bay,

brought her to the Yi Dong Mansion
and killed her there

Sir, why would I kill her?

If I were the murderer

I wouldn't have come to report
to the police

It's all very evident

from the crime scene

that my wife was raped and killed

Had every case been that simple,

half of the cops would have changed
their profession

My wife was murdered; Instead of

going after the murderer,
you're putting pressure on me

Sir...

Mr. Zhou, calm down

Before the case is solved

we have every reason to suspect anyone

Have you seen this person before?

Who are you looking for?

Are you Mr. Fang Ming?

Yes

We are the police

We'd like to invite you to the
police station

regarding that case at Yi Dong Mansion

Don't wake my wife, I'm coming with you

What are you looking at?
Haven't you seen a man before?

Bastard, you...

What are you doing? Go...

Sit

Come in

What's your name?

Anthony Fang

Chinese name?

Fang Ming

Did you know Irene who worked as
a dealer in a casino?

Yes

Did you see her on August 18?

Yes, that night

I went with her for a ride and
we had a bit of squabble

After that she got off at Clearwater Bay

According to the autopsy report

your wife had semen in her body

Therefore I suspect that person
to be the murderer

I admit my sexual relationship

but I didn't kill her

Do you remember whether

you saw anyone that night

or what happened?

I saw a red car near the crime scene

Don't move, get off the car...

You must be tired of living

Be gentle

We are the police

Is this your car? Whose car is it?

What are you doing?

About that case in Yi Dong Mansion

we want you to help with the investigation

I need to call home

You may call from the police station

Have a seat please

Have some tea

Thank you

Previous generation detectives
have a bad image sort of

They sometimes framed people;

but it's entirely different now

I like telling stories and reasoning

I'm going to tell you a story

Qn the night of August 18

a murder case happened at the
Yi Dong Mansion

A young woman was the victim

Soon after this

her husband drove his taxi
to the crime scene

and saw a red Fiat sports car

license plate no. CR 4417

What do you think of this story?

I don't know

I hope you two could help me
complete the story

about how the woman was killed

Speak

I'll wait for my lawyer

It has nothing to do with me,
I didn't do anything

Says who, you should have had her

then this wouldn't have happened

Beer

You caused all this trouble

I have to share the blame with you

If it weren't for my mom
you'd still be inside

I am good enough

We are in such bad luck

Had we left earlier that night

we wouldn't have run into her husband

Not a single person was in sight

How come her husband went there?

If he recognises us, we're finished

Kill him, we have no choice

How can we find him?

I can find anyone I want to

You shouldn't use force towards them

I can sue you for harming people

It was self defense, they wanted to
kill me

You beat us so badly

and you still say that we wanted to
kill you

Tough guy, huh?

Mr. Zhou, don't be mad

Trust us

we'll handle your wife's case

If you are to do everything by yourself

what's the point of us being the police?

If you run into witchcraft your family
will perish

you have to believe this

Come in

My wife is dead

I want you to help me seek revenge

Although you saved me, I can't help you

Your situation is...

What?

It's in your destiny, no one can help you

Think of some other way yourself

You seduce my wife

and yet asked someone to beat me up

I must have revenge

Don't run

I must avenge her

I've been beaten to a cripple

It's in your destiny

If you keep thinking about revenge

you might end up killing yourself too

They destroyed my family

and crippled me

You still refuse to help me?

You don't know black magic

If you want to seek revenge using
black magic

you might kill yourself if it failed

You...

If you refuse to help me
I'll report to the police

that you stole dead people's bones

Alright, I'll help you

but don't regret it

I won't

I'm now exercising some advanced
black magic

to lead your wife's spirit to
her murderers

This method is assumed lost

and is called seeding a ghost

Don't be scared

I am using your body

to lead your wife's spirit back

Now bring me to your wife's body
immediately

"Grave of beloved wife Irene Zhu"

Give me that packet

Done

Where's my wife's body?

It's here, follow me

Sit down

Close your eyes and don't look

Rub some coconut oil for your wife

Her spirit will feel better

Qh, what happened to my hand?

This is the price of using black magic

It will get more serious
in the next couple of days

You said you won't regret it, rub it

From now on,
all those who have harmed your wife

will have no peace

I don't know what you want to do

You're not studying nor working

Spending all your time in bad company

None of your business

None of my business?
Then whose business is it?

You were only 10 when dad died

If it weren't for me,
you'd have starved to death

I raised and supported you

How ungrateful you are!

If I didn't provide you this meal
you'd be starved

if you're so tough, don't eat it

I have already eaten, so what?

Spit it out then

Paul, what happened? Paul

Peter, since that incident

you've been lost

Did you two do that thing?

You can tell mom

I'm so worried

If you had done such unforgivable things

you'll have to pay for it

Stop nagging, I already told you
we didn't do nothing

Peter

What is it?

Your gums are bleeding

Really?

It isn't

Peter, what are you eating?

Coconut, Mom

It's tender, try it

What are you doing?

Mom

Madam, you're back

Back so early

Where did you go?

To the race course; it's all so weird

Last night
I dreamt of the late Cheung Ah Kin

Wasn't he the jockey
who won the Queen's Cup?

So I placed my bet and won

How much did you win?

Qver 8,000, let's go to have a drink

Better to drink at home

Alright, I'll stay with you,
give me a glass

What's with you? Give me a glass

What's going on?

Peter... what's going on with you?

Did you see a ghost? Peter

Your wife has now become

a love deity

Go and give her a kiss

Ah Ming, is my sleeping gown beautiful?

Not bad

Master... what happened?

She's possessed

The Buddha's holy water is spreading

lt'll clear up all the evil things

Rise

Don't worry, Master

This priest is powerful

he has exorcised many demons

Madam will be fine soon

Buddha, please protect and bless her

Disasters and misfortune will be averted

Got any eggs?

Yes

Very powerful

Can you take care of it?

I can suppress her for a while

What happened?

I have burnt 9 charms

but the spirit would not leave

She must have died a wrongful death

Forgive me for asking

Did you do anything bad?

No

You needn't lie to me

If it were not for revenge

she wouldn't have hung on to your wife

I can tell you

that it was a female ghost

I had a mistress who has recently
been raped and killed

She died a cruel death

Qn the day she died she begged me
to divorce my wife

but I refused

That's it

Here's the egg

Mr. Fang, I suspect that

some kind of black magic
is helping this female ghost

I'll try to find out

Evil committed by spirits

who hope to be reborn

All souls will repent

the fist of light breaks through
the mistiness

and the spirit will travel over
the sea of passion

Life is full of troubles and pains

The way of Buddha is to achieve
completeness

For those once lost,
the gods now protect them with

good fortune and a long life

Mr. Fang, crack the egg open

Don't touch the charmed sword

I'll go and find my brother to
fight with her

See what it says

God, many, ghost, evade

No wonder nothing worked!

The spirit is smart

What are we going to do?

Ask again

Don't run, I'm looking for you two

I didn't kill you, I didn't

It's no use, this is the power of
black magic

I don't intend to harm you

My son will seek revenge for me...

It's no use, you can't escape

My son will seek revenge for me...

Madam Liu... what happened?

What happened to my house?

I won't dare to help you again

You've turned my house into a mess

Don't come here again

Hurry and go

Didn't expect that bitch to be
so powerful!

She said that her son
would seek revenge for her

I am really scared

She's got a son?

News has it that she was married
for less than 4 months

So how could she have a son?

Then we need not be afraid

Yes, what's to be afraid of?

That's right, cheers

You can't refuse me this time

Sister, what are you doing? Sister

I can't sleep, stay with me

No

I'm not your sister,
you should know who I am

No...

Remember who pushed me down?

It was not my fault, let me go

Now it's my turn

Qne down, another one to go

What are you doing?

No need to be afraid

The spirit of your wife brought him here

This is the power of black magic

Your wife's spirit
will now have sex with him

Let's stay away

The spirit is pregnant

When her son is born

he will seek revenge for you

How can she have a son?

He'll be fed by your blood

Direct him with your spirit

Wei Tuo is the transformation
of bodhisattva

The holy rod pacify the demons

It's a meritorious work to mankind

The Amitabha Cape Buddha

How dare you be insolent!

All the evils must be wiped off

How come I am here?

Come down first
