Let's jump in, too.
Yeah!
It's so cool.
It's so hot today, right?
Chase me!
Help!
It's hers! It's hers!
Zhongping!
Zhensheng!
Zhensheng, haven't seen you for ages!
You and your wife look as young as ever.
Of course!
It's always nice to travel.
Getting a chance to look around this cosmopolitan city.
But recently lots of strange things have been happening in this city.
One after another!
Beyond belief!
Zhongping won't believe a single word I say.
Zhensheng, you asked us to come here in great haste!
What's the emergency?
Do you believe in spells?
Spells?
I invited you here because I'm...
hoping you can help me unveil the mystery of Tame Head Sorcery.
There are many weird medical cases in the hospital where I serve.
These cases can't be explained by any medical theory.
So, you think it's related to Tame Head Sorcery?
Actually, the people living here...
believe in Tame Head Sorcery deeply.
Zhensheng, you're a Doctor of Medicine,
and you've had an extensive education.
Why believe in Tame Head Sorcery all of the sudden?
Well, since you're already here, we can take our time.
We can study it gradually and closely. I'm sure you'll be interested.
Let's forget that for the time being.
I reserved a table at the Haihuang nightclub tonight
to welcome you.
Bottoms up!
Thanks.
We should invite them to Hong Kong next year.
Good idea!
You'll have to be a good host.
Miss Hong, you promised to have a bite with me tonight.
How about now?
Sorry, I have plans tonight.
Another time.
There is no medical term for this type of skin ulcer.
It looks like a human face,
so we all call it "Human-face Sore".
In venomous black magic, they say this is the most poisonous spell,
called the "Green Venom Poison Spell".
It's incurable.
How long 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'll get it.
You are?
I'm from Queen's Flower Shop.
Mr. Shi ordered these roses in our shop.
Sorry! There might be germs on these thorns!
Let me help you squeeze out some blood.
Done! Better wrap it up later.
Thanks.
These dishes are so tasty.
Your cooking is really good.
I'm flattered.
What's wrong, Margaret?
Oh, nothing.
Do you feel sick?
When did you hurt your finger?
Today the person who delivered the roses
hurt it accidentally.
You don't even like roses. What made you buy them?
You're the one who told the flower shop to deliver them.
But I didn't buy these roses.
You're fine. Pulse is normal.
You must be tired.
Let me walk you up to your room.
No, it's okay. You carry on.
I can walk up myself. I just need some rest.
Margaret.
You look pale.
Let me walk you up.
Even Zhongping said I'm fine. Just have dinner with them.
I would like to spend some time alone.
Zhongping, Margaret looks weird.
I'm afraid she's under a spell.
There you go again!
I don't think Margaret is under any spell.
Cuiling. But Zhensheng definitely is.
Zhensheng, what's gotten into you?
Why are you being so superstitious?
Great. Neither of you believe me.
But what I said is true.
Follow me. Let me show you a book.
This book was written by an American professor.
He spent ten years researching Southeast Asian spells.
Take a look.
Southeast Asian Black Magic is well-known all over the world.
The black magic witch doctors there know how to raise zombies.
They call it "Jiagaipohai" in Malay.
When someone died with a grievance, the soul wouldn't leave.
The black magic witch doctor would then go to the grave,
dig up the body, and chant incantations.
Then the soul of the zombie becomes his possession.
A Black Magic witch doctor can make this soul possess anyone.
When that happens,
the person is under a spell and beyond all self-control.
That sounds too good to be true, Zhongping.
I think you should start learning black magic.
Then you would have everything you want.
There are good black magic witch doctors, too.
They use spells to cure illnesses and save lives.
Or matchmaking. Even for harvests.
Listen to this!
There's a black magic witch doctor who loves to drink breast milk.
He believes that having breast milk once a day
can keep him young and healthy.
In fact, this witch doctor is already in his 80s,
but he looks like a young man.
Nonsense!
Do you honestly believe this bullshit?
Cuiling, you don't believe it, either?
Unless I see it with my own eyes
I will never believe it.
You never know. You better believe it.
Spells are real, and...
Enough, my great Doctor of Medicine!
Since when have you gotten so fussy?
I think we should test the patients blood samples we collected today.
Maybe we will find out some answers.
I'm already in my 80s,
yet I still look young and robust.
Do you know why?
I regularly drink breast milk.
Breast milk is my elixir of life.
Margaret, from now on, I need to suck your breast milk once a day.
Do you understand?
Now I'm going to use your hair
to make bewitched oil.
After you drink the oil, you'll produce breast milk.
The blood definitely isn't human!
It could be feline or canine.
This kind of thing has happened many times at the hospital.
The authorities keep it under wraps because they fear disputes.
But it can't be explained medically.
What do you think?
I think we should get some rest first.
With enough sleep, we can continue tomorrow.
Have a good sleep. We'll continue tomorrow.
Okay. Good night.
Zhongping, Zhongping, Zhongping...
Margaret is missing!
What?
Let's look for her!
Margaret!
Margaret?
Margaret!
Who opened the sliding door?
It was closed just now.
Let's look 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 asleep? 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'll catch a cold.
Let's go. Hurry.
It's a freak!
A freak?
I'm looking 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 told me about you.
I heard you're a black magic witch doctor.
You can cast love spells.
Right. But I'm not cheap.
And I collect the full fee in advance.
That's not a problem.
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 control anyone's mind easily.
Now you can trust me, right?
Sir, who is your target?
It's her. She's a showgirl.
I've spent a lot of money on her,
but never got a chance to date her.
So I need your help.
What's your price?
$5,000.
That expensive?
Not at all.
Every time I cast a spell,
I need to use a dead man's soul
to complete the work.
I swore in front of my teacher that
I would pay back with my own soul.
In other words,
I lose five years of my life for each spell I cast.
$5,000 in exchange for five years of my life.
That's not expensive at all.
Very well, it's a deal.
Now pay the full price.
Within three days, you'll get the woman.
Goodbye.
Come upstairs with me and dress sexy.
You...
Hi!
What a surprise to see you here!
- You told me to meet you here, didn't you? - Right, right...
I almost forgot.
Let's go!
Where?
Wherever! It's your call.
All right...
You take care of things here. I'm going to catch the live 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 fooled me with your venomous black 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 black magic.
I revive her whenever I want! I also make her look young and pretty!
She's my cash cow.
She has at least ten pursuers just like you!
Kang Cong, I'm warning you now!
I'll go to the police if you don't give me my money back!
I'll tell the world your ugly secrets.
So that everyone will know you're a demon!
A bloodthirsty demon!
But it's too late.
You won't get the chance.
Why?
Because you've been under my spell, too.
And you will die whenever I want.
Bullshit!
We've only met once! How could you cast a spell on me?
Your handkerchief.
Your sweat is on it.
I cast a spell on you through your handkerchief.
I can give this back to you now.
Bullshit! That's bullshit!
I don't believe it!
A strand of hair, a footprint,
or just a touch!
I can cast a spell 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 terrible.
This year, there have been at least ten similar cases.
We couldn't explain them with any medical theory.
If it's not the work of spells, what else could it be?
Why don't we perform an autopsy?
Then we could find out all the mysteries.
His family is very conservative,
so they wouldn't let us dissect his body.
Let's go to the graveyard
and dig up his body.
Then we'll know if it has anything to do with spells, right?
Right! Unveiling the mystery of spells
would mean great progress in medical science.
I'll go with you.
- Sure! - Let's go!
Graveyard
Right here!
You're right. It's his grave.
Zhongping, you must believe now, right?
He's only been dead for a few days.
How could the decomposition be so advanced?
And so many worms! How can you explain that?
If it's not spells, what else could it be?
It's true that the body is highly decomposed.
But you can't conclude he was under a spell.
It could be the soil.
Maybe the soil speeds up the process.
Have you heard there is a type of soil that
can preserve a body for a thousand years?
Both of you are so stubborn.
How can I make you believe?
Zhensheng, if you want us to believe,
I have a good idea.
I'm listening.
You can use me as a guinea pig.
Tell the black magic witch doctor to cast a spell on me.
If it works on me, then we'll believe you.
Right. That's a good idea.
That's the only way to unveil the mystery of spells.
And make you drop your nonsense, too.
Before Zhang Danian died,
he mentioned that Kang Cong is a black magic witch doctor.
Why don't you try him?
Are you sure you're not afraid of spells?
We don't even believe they exist! Why would we be afraid?
Very well. I'll go see him tomorrow.
Mr. Shi.
Please be straight.
What do you want me to do for you?
I'm in love with a woman. I'd like to sleep with her.
So you've come for a love spell?
Can you do it?
Certainly.
But it will cost you.
As long as I can have her, I'll pay anything.
Very well.
Who's the woman?
One of my friends wives.
Here.
Her name and address are on it.
You're abominable.
In love with your friend's wife?
That's why I came to you.
We would get along well.
Are you saying that we share the same rotten habits?
Exactly. I want her body, and you want the money.
We'll both get what we want.
Very well.
Then I'll name a price.
I want ten thousand...
US dollars.
No problem. I'll write you a check.
$10,000.
Thanks.
Here, let's celebrate. Birds of a feather flock together.
Cheers.
Sure.
Bottoms up. Let's have another.
Sorry!
Let me put some herbal oil on it.
No! It's okay.
I gotta go. Bye.
Sorry!
You... What's the matter with you?
My fault!
Sorry! So sorry!
Okay, it's fine now.
Wrap it up when you get home.
Sorry.
Cuiling.
Have a drink.
Cuiling, let me clean the wound for you.
I can do it myself.
Look. It's bleeding.
It'll get infected if you don't clean it.
What's wrong?
Why are you doing this?
You know my finger hurts!
Can't you be careful?
You're doing this on purpose.
Sorry, I'll be more careful.
Stop being hypocritical.
I hate you! Leave me alone!
Cuiling, what's wrong?
Why are you mad at me all of a sudden?
What would Zhensheng think after seeing all this?
Cuiling.
Leave me alone! I hate you!
Zhensheng, could you change my bandage for me?
Why not? Come. Sit down.
All done.
I'll meet you at the Botanical Gardens.
Thanks.
Cuiling?
Taxi!
Follow that taxi!
You're so pretty.
There was a couple that just walked in.
Do you know which room they're in?
That one.
Zhensheng, you...
Zhensheng...
Wake up!
Get out! Get the hell out of here!
Cuiling!
Now I believe in spells.
And you're under one!
What spells?
I hate you! I hate you so much!
Cuiling, Cuiling...
Wake up, Cuiling!
Cuiling, Cuiling...
Miss Hu, how's my wife doing?
Mrs. Shi just had an injection and she's asleep.
Margaret, Margaret...
Miss Wang, where's my wife?
She was sleeping in her bed.
She's not fully recovered so she can't be far.
Zhensheng!
Margaret!
Zhensheng!
Margaret!
Cuiling!
Cuiling?
Cuiling. Let's go back.
What are you doing?
What's wrong with you, Cuiling?
Cuiling, you...
Drunken ghost, leave her alone! 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 Spell. If I don't dispel it for her,
she will die within twenty-four hours.
You know how to dispel spells?
No!
Cuiling!
Old man!
Old man...
Don't let him... harm people anymore!
You must destroy his deadly spell and him.
How can I destroy it?
Wa-wa-wa... wax figures
and the... r-r-r-ring.
- R-r-r-r-ring... - Old man, what are you saying?
The... ring!
This... is a pair of... wise eyes.
If you swallow them... you...
you will...
Old man!
Old man...
Cuiling, Cuiling...
Wake up.
Cuiling!
Zhongping!
I'll take you to the hospital
so you can recuperate.
Who are you looking for?
Why don't you answer?
I'm asking you who you're looking for.
I'm looking for two friends,
Shi Zhensheng and his wife.
What a joke!
You're looking for your friends in my house?
I know they're here.
I absolutely don't know them!
You don't know them? But I know you well.
You're a black magic witch doctor.
Using evil spells to control their souls and make them come here.
You've done terrible things! You have no conscience!
If you don't hand them over,
I'll call the police!
Out! Get out of here!
Zhensheng! Zhensheng...
That man is sly and cunning,
escaping the way he did!
Why didn't you call the police?
I did!
The police searched his house.
But they found nothing!
We can't just let Zhensheng and Margaret vanish like that.
I decided to go and search Kang Cong's place again tonight.
I must find out what happened.
I don't want you to go alone. I can be discharged from the hospital.
I'll go with you.
Okay.
Let me check first.
Wait here. Don't go away.
Margaret!
Zhensheng!
Margaret!
Why are your hands freezing cold?
Qi Zhongping, I'm warning you now!
I have your wife!
Put that amulet down
or I'll kill her!
Throw it away!
No!
You let my wife go first!
And then I'll throw it away.
Fine!
I will let her go!
Follow me!
Cuiling!
No wonder I couldn't put a spell on you
these past two days.
It's because you have this amulet.
Let me tell you now. You're a dead man.
I've already put a death spell on you.
I want you to die!
I'm going to kill you!
Zhongping!
Cuiling!
