Sergeant 23142 calling, position: Sheung Wan
It is storming pretty hard. The signal is bad
Please repeat, over
Always bad reception in this spot
Sergeant 23142 calling, please answer if you hear me
You and Lam Chiu came from Malaysia together
It is quite clear what kind of relationship you two have!
13 years ago, Lam Chiu robbed Bo Fung Bank
and we got the loot back because you squealed on him
Freeze
Don't move or I will shoot
Nobody from the outside knew about it, if I get the word out
You will be in a very bad shape
You are joking. Officer Cheung
What I gave you every time were good and true leads
And you are treating me this way?
This is a Police Station. What do you think? A market?
You want to bargain
Okay! Speak! Let's see how much your tongue is worth
How much your tongue is worth?
Karpi Honey
Still busy Yes
Finished your work? Not yet
When are you coming home?
I will come home when I am done
Can you come home now?
I am busy, don't keep on calling me
You have already called over twenty times
You are saying I am a pest
You told me to cook dinner for you
Listen to me. I am not saying you are a pest
I am not mad at you
There is a lot of things you could do at home
You could watch DVD, TV, or cook something to eat
I can take care of the baby too, but I want you to come home and be with me
Fat Wah has been in custody for almost 48 hours now
If we can't get anything out of him, have to let him go
Yes, sir.
I didn't say that
But you can do a lot of things
Come home soon, okay?
Alright
Miss you
Got it
If I'm asleep, wake me up when you're back
Okay. Go to bed early with the baby
and don't think confusedly
Lock the windows and doors before you go to bed
Bye
Officer, it is raining heavily, walk carefully
You'd better be careful too
After getting out of here, call me every other day with information
Am I on parole?
Call me every other day with information after getting out of here, I said
Or you'll be in big trouble, understand?
Where do I get so much information?
Go find them
Beat it
Rockman, since we don't have much work tonight
the guys are planning to have supper with Uncle Bill as a farewell
Uncle Bill is retiring the day after tomorrow
Bill, remember our date for supper?
I remember. Supper tonight
Who else will come? Where are we eating?
The guys prefer the street food stall
ls street food stall okay with you?
Fine
No problem
Hold on
Mr. Please stand still
Mr. Please stop
Mr. Please stand still!
Mr. Stand still
Police. Stand still
What's wrong, babe?
Stop crying...sweetie...
Good babe
Rockman, you haven't had a day off for a long time
Go home and let the guys take care of the routine
Baby
Baby gone
Karpi
The forensic report is out, the bullets on Uncle Bill's body
is from the missing gun of Officer Ho Chi Wai who was slayed 2 months ago
it is possible that the wanted criminal Lam Chiu did all these
Also, Lam Chiu is 45
He was busted while arm robbing a bank in 1993
Got 12 years jail term and was released one year ago
Okay, I know all these
Right here, we used ultra sound to look at it
There is something moving in his body
Could it be maggots?
Impossible
He has been dead for less than 24 hours, cannot have maggots
The victim was shot 3 times
One shot each in his right hand, left leg and stomach
All are non fatal wounds
The cause of death is massive hemorrhaging
The killer could have killed him with one shot
But he didn't do that
He didn't want the victim to die at once
He wanted to torture him slowly
The shot in the right hand was to take away his ability to fight back.
The shot in the left leg was to take away his mobility
The shot in the stomach was to cause massive internal hemorrhaging
The killer must hate the Police with a vengeance
I suspect Lam Chiu is the killer
13 years ago he was resisting arrest
and shot by my colleague
Freeze
Freeze or I will shoot
He was lucky and lived, but he has lost his sense of pain
What is worse than pain?
It is to never know what pain is again
With excessive bleeding, the body will be numb
it is possible the killer wanted the victim to feel
the most excruciating and intense pain until he lost sensation
Also, the victim's chin was obviously burned
How did it get there?
Let's look at the baby
The baby has over 100 stab wounds
Looks like they were pierced with sharp knife or needles type sharp objects
Cause of death is very suspicious
Do you believe there is Gong Tau?
Mr. Cheung, your wife has a mild concussion in her head
It is not serious
Initial examination didn't find out why she keeps complaining
her whole body is in severe pain like being poked by needles
I have given her a tranquillizing shot so she could get some rest
This is the second cop murder case within two months
Does the Police think the two cases related?
Up til now
the Police has got leads, data and evidence
Basically we are quite sure that
the killer is the same person
Bro Sum, about Ma's case
Thank you
he is holding a grudge against the Police and
he must hate the Police with his guts
Your son was killed the same night
I s it related to the other two cases?
I am not sure, but
we are sure that we will get the guy
May Yes, madam
Get a cup of Blue Mountain coffee for Brother Sum
Yes Thank you
Our Blue Mountain coffee is quite famous
Customers rave about it
Why not talking?
I was thinking how I am going to say it
I know you won't like what I am going to say
Go ahead
A baby boy died recently
and the way he died is very similar to your husband
He is not my husband
Our divorce had been finalized one month before
Thank you
What do you think? How did Ma Jun Sang die?
It was the Needle Gong Tau
Actually, it was he who
got himself into the wild affair
The woman was a hooker
but she quit and started to have an affair with Ma
Very soon, the woman was pregnant
and said it was Ma's but Ma denied it right away
That woman got really mad and had a big fight with Ma
The woman snatched a strand of Ma's hair
She took the hair
to a sorcerer to cast Gong Tau on Ma
At that time, a Malaysian said that he could remove the Gong Tau for Ma
But later he was put in jail because of robbery
soon afterwards Ma died
At that time there was a Malaysian claiming that he could remove Gong Tau
His name is Lam Chiu. Have you ever heard of that name?
Lam Chiu
Never heard of it
Baby
Karpi
Karpi don't sleep on the table
So much pain What's wrong, Karpi?
No. I don't want to sleep on the bed
No. I just want to sleep here
No. It really hurts. Sleeping on the bed really hurts
I am aching all over.
It hurts. I don't want to sleep on the bed. I don't want to
I will sleep here. Let me sleep here okay?
Honey, I don't want to.
What's wrong? It really hurts.
It is not comfortable for you to lie on the table
Oh! It's so painful!
Needles are poking me
No needle. There is no needle here
It's so painful!
I know. Don't lay down then
Why are you making so much noise?
It's okay now.
Dropped?
I have done all the tests for you wife
However, I could not find the cause of the pain
But she screams in pain every time she lies down
I had a patient who was complaining of headache constantly
And no matter what, I could not find the reason
Later on I referred him to a psychologist
and finally found out his headache was his mood swings
If you agree
I can refer your wife to a psychologist
Rockman
Have you noticed the case records in the file room?
Some cases are closed before they are cracked
What do you mean?
Because the killer is non human or there isn't any killer
For Uncle Bill's case, the killer could very well be Lam Chiu
But your son's case is strange
Believe it or not
I suspect Karpi and your son got Gong Tau
Didn't you go to Thailand three years ago to investigate the drug dealers?
I was called back before I could finish the job
Did you mess up or irk anyone?
Especially with women
It has been really creepy
Uncle Bill's chin was burned, it looks like voodoo
Also, Lam Chiu had something to do with Ma's case
He knows about Gong Tau
I suspect he is the one messing up your family
If Lam Chiu is after you for revenge
Why doesn't he try to get you but your family?
Because he hates me
Not only he hates you but hates us the Police even more
Lam Chiu is on the line and is asking for Officer Cheung
Ready to trace the line?
Yes. Ready.
Which line?
Line One
This is Rockman Cheung speaking.
Officer Cheung? How's your wife?
Thanks for caring
Don't say anything over the phone, let's meet and talk
How about having a cup of tea?
No thanks. You are busy plus you are tracing my phone line
I won't bother you for long
I just want to tell you that I had a dream last night
I dreamed about the next Mark Six numbers. Mark them down
2'3'14'26'32'44
Officers, don't forget to bet on them
23142...
That's Uncle Bill's police serial number
Check who's number is 63244.
Step on it! Step on it! STAT!
Control said the last call received from 63244 was from around here
Have a look there
Kit, stay here.
Sai Keung, go check if there is a back door
Yes
Lam Chiu...Lam Chiu you bastard
Kit, anything downstairs?
Nothing, Brother Sum
Call control, and ask for backup
I want a search for the whole building
Yes. Sir!
Sir, it's cold
Can you turn the air conditioning down a little bit?
You got me for several hours already
My legs are cramping from sitting too much
I would rather take beating then you let me go
I really don't know Lam Chiu that well
After he went in jail we lost contact
He is busy with his job and I am with mine
He became a crook and I became a good citizen
Officer, no
I am old and fragile,
If I happen to die here
you have to clean up after me and pray that I won't haunt you
Officer, please, no horsing around
Are you daring me?
What do you want, Officer?
Say it, I will tell you whatever I know
Where can you get a cheap meal?
Stop putting me on
And you said you would talk?
Casseroles of Shing Fat in To Kwa Wan is quite good
Hing Kee in Jordon is a bargain, isn't it?
Shing Fat is cheaper
Dinner for two with soup is less than sixty bucks
Dinner for two
With your buddy Lam Chiu?
I don't know him that well
Don't tell me you don't know him well again, get it?
I really don't know him that well
Can't you hear what the Officer is telling you?
He is telling you stop repeating yourself. Are you faking deaf
or you are really deaf?
Help! The cops are beating me up!
Lock him up for full 48 hours
After you get out, remember to report to me every other day
For you
Officer Cheung, the boss said your son's death
is inexplicable as of now
But we are not excluding the possibility that your wife by mistake...
Don't tell me the rule of thumb things
I understand, okay?
Yes, sir!
Rockman
After the murder, no one has been charged
They had a tough time writing the report
Luckily we found someone had broken into your house
Or we really don't know how to write it
OCTB (Organized Crime and Triad Bureau)
Someone called, a dead body was found in Jet Tung Street
Clear, we are coming over
Officer
Who called the police?
That garbage collector
Ma'ma, is that you called the police?
Yes
Where is the dead body?
Outside
Right here
Rockman, you haven't take a rest for a while
Take a day off, go home and keep your wife company
She really needs you by her side now
Take a day off?
Taking a day off won't help anything
The most important thing is to get Lam Chiu
Do you think Lam Chiu is messing up your family
I am not sure
But I am sure that he killed three cops
Actually I worry about your wife more
Have you thought about what we talked about last night?
What?
Gong Tau
I bring you to someone tomorrow
Have some tea
No matter how, I could not chop up this piece of firewood
Occasionally I will come across this kind of wood
But you can still burn it
Wood that cannot be chopped will be hard to burn
What do you mean?
I will dump it into the river in the back
And let it go free
You are letting a piece of wood go free?
All beings have spirituality and all things have their own Karma are causal
The wood can't be chopped and can't be burnt, it must be Karma
Mr. Cheung, Sum has told me about your problem
It's Gong Tau
Go home and check your wife's eyes, see if they are blood shot
If there is a black straight line in the upper white
If there is, she definitely has Gong Tau in her
People who cast Gong Tau are either for money or love
They want someone's life
unless it involves a lot of money
But you are just an ordinary cop
then, it must be for love
Though the Gong Tau plagued only your wife and son
it could be because of you
What are you doing?
Sum
My wife really got Gong Tau
When I was working in Thailand
I met a girl named Elli Lam
You are suspecting her?
I don't know if she knew anything about Gong Tau
But I heard if you want to cast a Gong Tau on someone
you can have someone else to do it.
You are saying that Elli got Lam Chiu to do it?
But I have checked with Immigration Department
Elli didn't come to Hong Kong
But Lam Chiu could go to Thailand
That I don't know
Lam Chiu is a wanted man, officially he can't go anywhere
But you can't stop man like him from going anywhere
And Immigration wouldn't have records on his coming and going
The Master Clear Sea you saw this morning
he can fix cases that doctors can't help
I have signed a release for your wife
Doctor Wong is a psychologist
I have already forwarded your wife's file over
You can make an appointment with him
We are not going home?
I want you to see someone
Who?
He is a Master of a secret sect of Buddhism
Why do I have to see him?
Why?
Karpi, you have got Gong Tau
But I didn't doing anything to anyone
Why was the Gong Tau on me?
It is you! You screwed around, didn't you?
It is you. You killed our son
I have shot a criminal
He is from Malaysia. He knows how to cast Gong Tau
He has been released from jail
Now he is after me for revenge
It is alright now
Master Clear Water, what should I do now?
Get her up, give her some water
Look down there
Take her home, and remember
fill a copper basin with water and put it in front of the window
Put a pair of copper scissors into the water, pointing outward
The Gong Tau can be undone just by doing this?
The Needle Gong Tau is undone. But just after removing the Gong Tau
I saw a head flying
If it is the Flying Head Gong Tau
not only I cannot help you, even my life will be in danger
What is Flying head Gong Tau?
Flying Head Gong Tau is the most powerful Gong Tau
The sorcerer will cast the Gong Tau on himself
to let his head separate from the body and start flying
He will turn into a vampire
His power in casting Gong Tau will increase by double
I don't know how to remove Flying Head Gong Tau
but all Gong Tau must be broken before the sorcerer dies
Or if he dies
the Gong Tau can never be broken or removed
May I speak to Officer Cheung?
Jenny, go ahead
Officer Cheung, I have checked for you
During the last three years, there was no Elli Lam
or person with similar name leaving from Thailand
No?
Correct, no
OK, thank you
Sum
Rockman, come over to the place where we found the dead cat
What have you got?
The Agriculture and Fisheries said all the cat's blood was sucked up
lam coming over
Karpi
I have to go and take care of something. I will be right back
Where are you going? I don't want to stay here by myself
It is urgent
I will get someone to keep you company tomorrow
Rockman, the watchman said there is a Thai tenant
paid one year's rent in advance
Very few people have seen him
He is very reclusive and seldom comes downstairs
Last time I saw him, he looked weird
His neck was bandaged
Here it is
Police. Open up
Open up
Remember the girl I told you? Elli Lam
This is the third bottle
You want it so badly. Speak up a little earlier next time
I don't have much left
This corpse fat is fresh
It is from a cop. Strong stuff
You got a good deal
Get me another bottle
Why are you so ruthless?
I have been playing with this stuff for many years
I have seen a lot of people toying with it got hurt badly and even died
You, be careful, I don't want to lose a good customer
I am going to take them to hell with me
This is a small world
You'd better pray and don't let me be the one to remove your Gong Tau
Money is everything to me
Karpi, Karpi
I am back
Karpi
You are leaving?
Why are you hiding the baby's things?
I am scared
Seems like the baby hadn't appeared before
I don't want you to see these anymore
They will only break your heart
I am more heart broken when I see you
When I was pregnant, you were busy
Always busy
I bought all the baby stuff by myself
You were not with me when I was giving birth
Get out
Why are you here? Get out!
Honey
Sorry
It is my fault
I just don't want you to be so sad
Now you are the most important one
Baby is dead
He had such a horrible death
I am so scared. I don't want to be alone
I don't want to stay in the house by myself
The house reminds me of the baby
I haven't even hear him calling me mommy
And he is dead
Don't be scared, I promise, we will move tomorrow
I am so scared Karpi don't be afraid
Honey
It will be fine when you awake
It's okay, you just need some rest
It's coming again!
Didn't you tell me it has gone?
Why? So much pain
I don't want to be here. I want to go back to the hospital
I rather go back to the hospital!
Good job
You dance really good
Come, have a seat
Thank you
Get me two more shots, one for the lady, please.
Sorry I don't drink, but thank you
Just one then, thanks.
Where are you from?
I grew up in Guangzhou
Guangzhou? Then you understand Cantonese?
I do
How long have you been dancing here?
Not very long
There is a lot of people dance better than me
It doesn't matter, you are the only one who speaks Chinese here
So what?
That makes a difference, we feel closer
Just like two ships meeting in the middle of the sea
They will greet each other by blowing their whistles
That's it
Then you would have to blow your whistle many times in one night?
I don't think so, looks like there are only two ship in this sea
One is me, and one is you
But there is another ship
The waiter?
I take him as a sunken ship
I just like talking to you
Good night Good night
If you are hungry, I can have a snack with you
I am not hungry
But I can make breakfast for you in the morning
Great
What it is?
For you
I don't want it
If you want money, that's fine with me
If you like, leave your number
What do you mean?
I have no time to chit-chat with you
I am turning the table, I think I like you
Where are you going?
I have to go back to Hong Kong and it's urgent
Didn't hear you talking about it?
Sorry, I didn't tell you
Can you stay a couple more days?
I can't
It's urgent, I must go back to Hong Kong
Will you come back to see me?
I don't know
Have you ever loved me?
I promise, I will come back to see you
Remember, you promised me
I will wait for you.
What's the matter? Last night you should have a good sleep
The Gong Tau is back
Just took Karpi to the hospital
Why don't you stay there and keep her company?
I want to, but she said she didn't want to see me
She said I reminds her of our son
Who?
Why didn't you call me?
It's Lam Chiu
Hands on your head
Sum, stop him from the outside
Let go!
Beating won't do me anything, Officer Cheung
I can't feel pain
I know your son has died of Gong Tau
Now is your wife's turn
You let me go
I will remove the Gong Tau for your wife
Nobody can help you except me, Officer Cheung
Rockman
I am asking one more time
Does Lam Chiu really know Gong Tau?
Didn't say a word
You all leave the room
Sum, you too
Leave the room, Sum
Officer Cheung
I have been waiting for you for a long time
I am waiting to remove the Gong Tau for your wife
Why should I trust you?
You have no choice
unless you want your wife dead
The Needle Gong Tau that your wife got is just a starter
There're more gruesome Gong Taus which are totally out of your imagination
Have you ever seen a head...
just pop out like that?
In the beginning the head will have innards attaching to it
After sucking enough blood, it can kill someone remotely
Practicing Flying Head Gong Tau is just like playing with fire
You have to pray really hard for him not to die
Once he dies
The Gong Tau will be with you for the rest of your life
until you die
You know how to remove the Flying Head Gong Tau?
Only if it is a Gong Tau
Officer, please
Lam Chiu, come out!
Rockman, it is major serious if you take Lam away
There is no turning back
Karpi is beyond help, Lam Chiu is her only chance
I have made up my mind
He is a prisoner in custody
After saving my wife from Gong Tau
I will bring him back
You have to trust me
You said you are bringing me back, what do you mean?
How could I get you out if I didn't say that?
You keep changing your story, how can I trust you?
Stop putting me on
Now I am the only one to save you, you have to trust me
Who are you?
I am Lockman
Rockman?
Elli loves Rockman, that's why my name is Lockman
Who is Elli? I don't know her. Please leave me alone.
You are such a fool!
Your husband had another woman, and you didn't know about it?
You've got the wrong person, please get out.
Mr. Cheung, it is good that you are here.
Someone is visiting your wife
Let's go, Karpi
You kill a woman named Elli
Why are you doing this?
There was a man named Lockman here
He told me a woman named Elli died because of you
Why are you lying to me? Why are you hiding it from me?
Where is that man? Where is the man called Lockman?
His neck is bandaged, really scary, his head is crooked
He said he wants to ruin us... he wants to mess us up
Where is the man Lockman?
Why don't you tell me? You didn't tell me anything?
I didn't do anything, listen to me, I am getting help for you
We have to go now or it will be too late
Why are you doing this to me? What are you doing?
Let me go! Why are you doing this?
The man you just saw is the one who cast Gong Tau on you
Let me go! Where are you taking me?
Let me go
Who is he?
Is none of your business
I come for you
You stay here and don't move
Where?
Where!
Just follow me
Lam Chiu, stand still
You'd better be straight with me
Go get a crock pot, and catch a centipede...
a poisonous snake, a gecko...
a spider and a scorpion
Put them all into the crock
Then bury the crock at an intersection
The five poisonous creatures will start fighting because of lack of air
Two hours later, you take the crock out
The survivor will have all the poisons in its body
Miss
Mrs. Cheung, I am really thirsty
Could you get some water for me?
I beg you
Thank you
What do you want?
Just want to touch you
Pervert!
Mrs. Cheung
Take a look
Do you know...
ever since I was shot by your husband
I know what living dead is
Now I must have the lights on when I get to bed
One night, I smelled something burning in my sleep
I woke up and saw my blanket on fire
I pushed away the blanket and found my thigh was on fire too
I could only hear the hissing sound and smelled charred flesh
It is pathetic when you can't feel pain
Then what?
Lam Chiu. Don't move
Stand still Put the gun down!
Put the gun down! I said put the gun down
Put the gun down or I will shoot her Put the gun down!
Put the gun down
There's one bullet left
Sum!
Won't do you any good by killing me
There won't be anyone to remove the Gong Tau for your wife
You are not helping me!
I am helping you
But I have to make sure I could leave after I helped you
Don't trust him, he is lying
Before I change my mind
You'd better do what I say!
No, don't trust him
Don't trust him
He is lying, don't trust him
Karpi, stay calm!
Hurry
You can't feel the pain?
Let me stop the bleeding for you
Got the crock back, only the centipede is still alive
Now you grind everything inside into powder
Then what?
Add some corpse fat into it and condense the powder into a vector
Where is the corpse fat?
I don't have any here
You don't have any?
Do you know how much corpse fat cost? It is sold out here.
A dead body is over there.
You cut his belly out, and fry it
Then you can get the corpse fat
Don't listen to him! You cannot, honey
Brother Sum is your buddy
What's the point of it? What is a buddy?
He is dead
His death is worthwhile if it could help others
I told you not to hit me, I can't feel any pain!
Don't do it
Don't listen to him
Don't you want to save your wife?
Don't do it
I beg you, please don't
There's a knife over there, grab it
Go and get it!
No. Don't do it.
No. Don't do it
Let's go! Okay? Don't do it.
No! I am begging you, please don't
Brother Sum is your buddy, you can't do that
Karpi, Brother Sum is dead
I must save you from the Gong Tau
No! Please no.
Don't. I would rather not have the Gong Tau removed
Sum would forgive me! I would rather die!
If he knows the whole story, he would help you
No, please don't
I must help you, I won't let you die
No! Please no.
Sorry, Sum. Lend me your meat
There is nothing we could do!
I don't want it...l don't want it
Please no! No.
I am begging you, please don't
No. No.
No please. I beg you, please don't.
Karpi. I am so sorry
I am so sorry
Please don't...
I would rather not have the Gong Tau removed...
I don't want the Gong Tau removed
Honey, please don't
Please don't...
Honey...
There is more
Go and burn your friend's chin, save the corpse fat
Now you have to add some sperm and blood into the corpse fat
There is only blood, where is the sperm?
What are you saying?
I said you have to jerk off to get it
Need some help?
Then what?
Pour the sperm into the corpse fat from the chin
Sprinkle the Five Poison powder into it, mix well
This will make the antidote
That will lead the Gong Tau back to its caster and destroy him
How about this?
Have no use for it
Rockman
Shoot! Shoot and kill me
The Gong Tau will be with your wife for the rest of her life
What do you want?
I just want you to know how awful Elli's death was
What do I have to do with Elli's death?
After you left, Elli waited for you everyday
I told her, you would never come back for her
She didn't believe me
Elli said you promised her you would go back
You are so mean, you even changed your phone number
I have never seen a shit head like you
If you are not going back, just say it
Why make a woman wait for someone who is never coming back?
Do you know what Elli said before she died?
I really love Rockman
I love him so much
Elli died in front of me
I really want to tell her, I love her
But before she died
She was still saying she loves you!
Lam Chiu! What should we do?
Dump the poison vector on him!
Honey, are you okay?
I am okay
Honey!
Honey! What's wrong with you? Honey...
Honey! Honey!
What are you doing?
I am not telling
People who cast Gong Tau are either for money or love
And you are just an ordinary cop
It must be for love
Though it was your wife and son who got the Gong Tau
it could be because of you
If it is really Gong Tau, then...
How long does it take before it start working up?
That really depends on the charm of the sorcerer
Some will act up immediately, some kicks in after several years
I really love Rockman
