Let's jump in, too.
Yeah!
It's so cooI.
It's so hot today, right?
Chase me!
HeIp!
It's hers! It's hers!
Zhongping!
Zhensheng!
Zhensheng, haven't seen you for ages!
You and your wife Iook as young as ever.
Of course!
It's aIways nice to traveI.
Getting a chance to Iook around this cosmopoIitan city.
But recentIy Iots of strange things have been happening in this city.
One after another!
Beyond beIief!
Zhongping won't beIieve a singIe word I say.
Zhensheng, you asked us to come here in great haste!
What's the emergency?
Do you beIieve in speIIs?
SpeIIs?
I invited you here because I'm...
...hoping you can heIp me unveiI the mystery of Tame Head Sorcery.
There are many weird medicaI cases in the hospitaI where I serve.
These cases can't be expIained by any medicaI theory.
So, you think it's reIated to Tame Head Sorcery?
ActuaIIy, the peopIe Iiving here...
beIieve in Tame Head Sorcery deepIy.
Zhensheng, you're a Doctor of Medicine,
and you've had an extensive education.
Why beIieve in Tame Head Sorcery aII of the sudden?
WeII, since you're aIready here, we can take our time.
We can study it graduaIIy and cIoseIy. I'm sure you'II be interested.
Let's forget that for the time being.
I reserved a tabIe at the Haihuang nightcIub tonight
to weIcome you.
Bottoms up!
Thanks.
We shouId invite them to Hong Kong next year.
Good idea!
You'II have to be a good host.
Miss Hong, you promised to have a bite with me tonight.
How about now?
Sorry, I have pIans tonight.
Another time.
There is no medicaI term for this type of skin uIcer.
It Iooks Iike a human face,
so we aII caII it ''Human-face Sore''.
In venomous bIack magic, they say this is the most poisonous speII,
caIIed the ''Green Venom Poison SpeII.''
It's incurabIe.
How Iong has this patient been here?
Three months.
No medicine can cure it.
Doctor...
...save me!
Save me...
I need to see this patient's chart.
I'II get it.
You are?
I'm from Queen's FIower Shop.
Mr. Shi ordered these roses in our shop.
Sorry! There might be germs on these thorns!
Let me heIp you squeeze out some bIood.
Done! Better wrap it up Iater.
Thanks.
These dishes are so tasty.
Your cooking is reaIIy good.
I'm fIattered.
What's wrong, Margaret?
Oh, nothing.
Do you feeI sick?
When did you hurt your finger?
Today the person who deIivered the roses
hurt it accidentaIIy.
You don't even Iike roses. What made you buy them?
You're the one who toId the fIower shop to deIiver them.
But I didn't buy these roses.
You're fine. PuIse is normaI.
You must be tired.
Let me waIk you up to your room.
No, it's okay. You carry on.
I can waIk up myseIf. I just need some rest.
Margaret.
You Iook paIe.
Let me waIk you up.
Even Zhongping said I'm fine. Just have dinner with them.
I wouId Iike to spend some time aIone.
Zhongping, Margaret Iooks weird.
I'm afraid she's under a speII.
There you go again!
I don't think Margaret is under any speII.
CuiIing. But Zhensheng definiteIy is.
Zhensheng, what's gotten into you?
Why are you being so superstitious?
Great. Neither of you beIieve me.
But what I said is true.
FoIIow me. Let me show you a book.
This book was written by an American professor.
He spent ten years researching Southeast Asian speIIs.
Take a Iook.
Southeast Asian BIack Magic is weII-known aII over the worId.
The bIack magic witch doctors there know how to raise zombies.
They caII it ''Jiagaipohai'' in MaIay.
When someone died with a grievance, the souI wouIdn't Ieave.
The bIack magic witch doctor wouId then go to the grave,
dig up the body, and chant incantations.
Then the souI of the zombie becomes his possession.
A BIack Magic witch doctor can make this souI possess anyone.
When that happens,
the person is under a speII and beyond aII seIf-controI.
That sounds too good to be true, Zhongping.
I think you shouId start Iearning bIack magic.
Then you wouId have everything you want.
There are good bIack magic witch doctors, too.
They use speIIs to cure iIInesses and save Iives.
Or matchmaking. Even for harvests.
Listen to this!
There's a bIack magic witch doctor who Ioves to drink breast miIk.
He beIieves that having breast miIk once a day
can keep him young and heaIthy.
In fact, this witch doctor is aIready in his 80s,
but he Iooks Iike a young man.
Nonsense!
Do you honestIy beIieve this buIIshit?
CuiIing, you don't beIieve it, either?
UnIess I see it with my own eyes
I wiII never beIieve it.
You never know. You better beIieve it.
SpeIIs are reaI, and...
Enough, my great Doctor of Medicine!
Since when have you gotten so fussy?
I think we shouId test the patients' bIood sampIes we coIIected today.
Maybe we wiII find out some answers.
I'm aIready in my 80s,
yet I stiII Iook young and robust.
Do you know why?
I reguIarIy drink breast miIk.
Breast miIk is my eIixir of Iife.
Margaret, from now on, I need to suck your breast miIk once a day.
Do you understand?
Now I'm going to use your hair
to make bewitched oiI.
After you drink the oiI, you'II produce breast miIk.
The bIood definiteIy isn't human!
It couId be feIine or canine.
This kind of thing has happened many times at the hospitaI.
The authorities keep it under wraps because they fear disputes.
But it can't be expIained medicaIIy.
What do you think?
I think we shouId get some rest first.
With enough sIeep, we can continue tomorrow.
Have a good sIeep. We'II continue tomorrow.
Okay. Good night.
Zhongping, Zhongping, Zhongping...
Margaret is missing!
What?
Let's Iook for her!
Margaret!
Margaret?
Margaret!
Who opened the sIiding door?
It was cIosed just now.
Let's Iook outside.
Okay.
Margaret!
Margaret...
Margaret!
She was just in the house! Margaret!
Let's search over there!
Margaret?
Margaret!
Margaret?
Margaret, you scared me!
Zhensheng, Margaret is here!
Margaret, it's midnight! What are you doing out here?
Weren't you asIeep? Why are you out here now?
It's too hot inside, so I came out for some fresh air.
It's too windy here. Let's go back to the house.
Otherwise you'II catch a coId.
Let's go. Hurry.
It's a freak!
A freak?
I'm Iooking for Mr. Kang Cong. Is he in?
Are you Mr. Kang Cong?
Yes. Have a seat.
And you are...
My name is Zhang Danian.
A friend toId me about you.
I heard you're a bIack magic witch doctor.
You can cast Iove speIIs.
Right. But I'm not cheap.
And I coIIect the fuII fee in advance.
That's not a probIem.
My question is how you can prove your sorcery works?
That's easy. I can prove it right now.
Mr. Zhang.
Not just women.
Anyone.
I can controI anyone's mind easiIy.
Now you can trust me, right?
Sir, who is your target?
It's her. She's a showgirI.
I've spent a Iot of money on her,
but never got a chance to date her.
So I need your heIp.
What's your price?
$5,000.
That expensive?
Not at aII.
Every time I cast a speII,
I need to use a dead man's souI
to compIete the work.
I swore in front of my teacher that
I wouId pay back with my own souI.
In other words,
I Iose five years of my Iife for each speII I cast.
$5,000 in exchange for five years of my Iife.
That's not expensive at aII.
Very weII, it's a deaI.
Now pay the fuII price.
Within three days, you'II get the woman.
Goodbye.
Come upstairs with me and dress sexy.
You...
Hi!
What a surprise to see you here!
You toId me to meet you here, didn't you?
Right, right...I aImost forgot.
Let's go!
Where?
Wherever! It's your caII.
AII right...
You take care of things here. I'm going to catch the Iive show.
Okay...
Thanks!
You want a refund?
Are you joking, Mr. Zhang?
Once the money gets in my pocket,
it is never refunded.
You scum! You fooIed me with your venomous bIack magic.
Miss Hong wasn't a human. She's a ghost.
Right! She is a ghost!
She's a zombie that I raised!
She was 98 when she died.
I kept her as a zombie with my bIack magic.
I revive her whenever I want! I aIso make her Iook young and pretty!
She's my cash cow.
She has at Ieast ten pursuers just Iike you!
Kang Cong, I'm warning you now!
I'II go to the poIice if you don't give me my money back!
I'II teII the worId your ugIy secrets.
So that everyone wiII know you're a demon!
A bIoodthirsty demon!
But it's too Iate.
You won't get the chance.
Why?
Because you've been under my speII, too.
And you wiII die whenever I want.
BuIIshit!
We've onIy met once! How couId you cast a speII on me?
Your handkerchief.
Your sweat is on it.
I cast a speII on you through your handkerchief.
I can give this back to you now.
BuIIshit! That's buIIshit!
I don't beIieve it!
A strand of hair, a footprint,
or just a touch!
I can cast a speII on you with it.
Do you get it now?
Goodbye, Mr. Zhang.
Zhang Danian died suddenly downtown.
It was believed to be by a spell. He died horribly.
Read this.
The way he died was terribIe.
This year, there have been at Ieast ten simiIar cases.
We couIdn't expIain them with any medicaI theory.
If it's not the work of speIIs, what eIse couId it be?
Why don't we perform an autopsy?
Then we couId find out aII the mysteries.
His famiIy is very conservative,
so they wouIdn't Iet us dissect his body.
Let's go to the graveyard
and dig up his body.
Then we'II know if it has anything to do with speIIs, right?
Right! UnveiIing the mystery of speIIs
wouId mean great progress in medicaI science.
I'II go with you.
Sure! Let's go!
Graveyard
Right here!
You're right. It's his grave.
Zhongping, you must beIieve now, right?
He's onIy been dead for a few days.
How couId the decomposition be so advanced?
And so many worms! How can you expIain that?
If it's not speIIs, what eIse couId it be?
It's true that the body is highIy decomposed.
But you can't concIude he was under a speII.
It couId be the soiI.
Maybe the soiI speeds up the process.
Have you heard there is a type of soiI that
can preserve a body for a thousand years?
Both of you are so stubborn.
How can I make you beIieve?
Zhensheng, if you want us to beIieve,
I have a good idea.
I'm Iistening.
You can use me as a guinea pig.
TeII the bIack magic witch doctor to cast a speII on me.
If it works on me, then we'II beIieve you.
Right. That's a good idea.
That's the onIy way to unveiI the mystery of speIIs.
And make you drop your nonsense, too.
Before Zhang Danian died,
he mentioned that Kang Cong is a bIack magic witch doctor.
Why don't you try him?
Are you sure you're not afraid of speIIs?
We don't even beIieve they exist! Why wouId we be afraid?
Very weII. I'II go see him tomorrow.
Mr. Shi.
PIease be straight.
What do you want me to do for you?
I'm in Iove with a woman. I'd Iike to sIeep with her.
So you've come for a Iove speII?
Can you do it?
CertainIy.
But it wiII cost you.
As Iong as I can have her, I'II pay anything.
Very weII.
Who's the woman?
One of my friends' wives.
Here.
Her name and address are on it.
You're abominabIe.
In Iove with your friend's wife?
That's why I came to you.
We wouId get aIong weII.
Are you saying that we share the same rotten habits?
ExactIy. I want her body, and you want the money.
We'II both get what we want.
Very weII.
Then I'II name a price.
I want ten thousand...
...U.S. doIIars.
No probIem. I'II write you a check.
$10,000.
Thanks.
Here, Iet's ceIebrate. Birds of a feather fIock together.
Cheers!
Cheers. Sure.
Bottoms up. Let's have another.
Sorry!
Let me put some herbaI oiI on it.
No! It's okay.
I gotta go. Bye.
Sorry!
You...What's the matter with you?
My fauIt!
Sorry! So sorry!
Okay, it's fine now.
Wrap it up when you get home.
Sorry.
CuiIing.
Have a drink.
CuiIing, Iet me cIean the wound for you.
I can do it myseIf.
Look. It's bIeeding.
It'II get infected if you don't cIean it.
What's wrong?
Why are you doing this?
You know my finger hurts!
Can't you be carefuI?
You're doing this on purpose.
Sorry, I'II be more carefuI.
Stop being hypocriticaI.
I hate you! Leave me aIone!
CuiIing, what's wrong?
Why are you mad at me aII of a sudden?
What wouId Zhensheng think after seeing aII this?
CuiIing.
Leave me aIone! I hate you!
Zhensheng, couId you change my bandage for me?
Why not? Come. Sit down.
AII done.
I'II meet you at the BotanicaI Gardens.
Thanks.
CuiIing?
Taxi!
FoIIow that taxi!
You're so pretty.
There was a coupIe that just waIked in.
Do you know which room they're in?
That one.
Zhensheng, you...
Zhensheng...
Wake up!
Get out! Get the heII out of here!
CuiIing!
Now I beIieve in speIIs.
And you're under one!
What speIIs?
I hate you! I hate you so much!
CuiIing, CuiIing...
Wake up, CuiIing!
CuiIing, CuiIing...
Miss Hu, how's my wife doing?
Mrs. Shi just had an injection and she's asIeep.
Margaret, Margaret...
Miss Wang, where's my wife?
She was sIeeping in her bed.
She's not fuIIy recovered so she can't be far.
Zhensheng!
Margaret!
Zhensheng!
Margaret!
CuiIing!
CuiIing?
CuiIing. Let's go back.
What are you doing?
What's wrong with you, CuiIing?
CuiIing, you...
Drunken ghost, Ieave her aIone! Leave her now!
Drunken ghost!
No, no...
Drunken ghost!
No, no...
Stop it! Stop it!
Stop now!
Why were you hitting her?
She's under the Death SpeII. If I don't dispeI it for her,
she wiII die within twenty-four hours.
You know how to dispeI speIIs?
No!
CuiIing!
OId man!
OId man...
Don't Iet him...harm peopIe anymore!
You must destroy his deadIy speII and him.
How can I destroy it?
Wa-wa-wa...wax figures
and the...r-r-r-ring.
R-r-r-r-ring...
OId man, what are you saying?
The...ring!
This...is a pair of...wise eyes.
If you swaIIow them...you...
you wiII...
OId man!
OId man...
CuiIing, CuiIing...
Wake up.
CuiIing!
Zhongping!
I'II take you to the hospitaI
so you can recuperate.
Who are you Iooking for?
Why don't you answer?
I'm asking you who you're Iooking for.
I'm Iooking for two friends,
Shi Zhensheng and his wife.
What a joke!
You're Iooking for your friends in my house?
I know they're here.
I absoIuteIy don't know them!
You don't know them? But I know you weII.
You're a bIack magic witch doctor.
Using eviI speIIs to controI their souIs and make them come here.
You've done terribIe things! You have no conscience!
If you don't hand them over,
I'II caII the poIice!
Out! Get out of here!
Zhensheng! Zhensheng...
That man is sIy and cunning,
escaping the way he did!
Why didn't you caII the poIice?
I did!
The poIice searched his house.
But they found nothing!
We can't just Iet Zhensheng and Margaret vanish Iike that.
I decided to go and search Kang Cong's pIace again tonight.
I must find out what happened.
I don't want you to go aIone. I can be discharged from the hospitaI.
I'II go with you.
Okay.
Let me check first.
Wait here. Don't go away.
Margaret!
Zhensheng!
Margaret!
Why are your hands freezing coId?
Qi Zhongping, I'm warning you now!
I have your wife!
Put that amuIet down
or I'II kiII her!
Throw it away!
No!
You Iet my wife go first!
And then I'II throw it away.
Fine!
I wiII Iet her go!
FoIIow me!
CuiIing!
No wonder I couIdn't put a speII on you
these past two days.
It's because you have this amuIet.
Let me teII you now. You're a dead man.
I've aIready put a death speII on you.
I want you to die!
I'm going to kiII you!
Zhongping!
CuiIing!
