What's wrong, Ho Ying? It's okay.
We're going home now. What's the matter?
- We're going home. Be good, okay? - Mommy.
Mommy.
My daughter!
(Psycho Detective 2)
(Episode 10)
Come on.
(This drama is a fiction.)
Mr. Pang, thank you so much for your help.
Don't say that.
We just wanted to rescue someone.
Detective Gan.
We've sent Zhu off in an ambulance.
I'll take her back to the police station first.
Tell me, who exactly got Shaman Wong to come here?
I did.
So you planned all this from the start?
Including asking Keong to seek our help?
Yes.
I want that guy to know...
that he killed his own son.
At first, Keong was the only one...
in the whole village who wasn't affected by the spell.
That's because I got him to drink talisman water.
Then, I arranged it so that he'd discover the ghost wedding...
to further encourage him to seek your help.
What about Fung's death?
Was it also part of your plan?
Better to die early than to be a son of such people.
Wouldn't it be better for him to be reincarnated into a good family?
How can you say such things? Fung is a good boy.
He had nothing to do with what his dad did!
Calm down.
Tong Tong, hurry up and take her away.
Let's go.
(Holistic Mao Shan Sorcery)
Master, am I disturbing you?
No, what is it?
Am I really not suitable to learn Mao Shan?
Why do you say that?
Before I became your follower, I read a lot of books...
and learned a lot, so I thought I had some foundation.
But training with Chuen...
made me realize that I actually knew nothing.
You shouldn't make such comparisons.
Chuen is gifted.
In addition to his constitution,
he can learn things even faster than when I started.
But just because we're not as fast, it doesn't mean we're not gifted.
You have your unique gifts.
You're certainly very fast...
in studying, reciting, and learning spells.
What you mean is...
I should work hard on what I'm good at.
These are the notes on Taoism that I've jotted down over the years.
And all these books...
Come up and have a look when you have time.
Is this for me?
I'm just lending it to you. You need to return it.
Besides studying, your other strength is...
your talisman.
No matter how powerful a master's incantation may be,
it still comes down to the person.
With the aid of the talisman,
some people, in spite of their limitations,
may be capable of doing more.
So, you approve me to continue studying Taoism?
Of course, but you're still required to build a strong foundation.
Don't use the talisman as an excuse to shirk off all the time.
Bat.
You have something very rare and precious.
What is it, Master?
Your heart.
You have a very pure heart.
You're not ambitious and are not influenced by fame and fortune.
And there is no shadow of doubt about you.
All sorcery, if they come in contact with dishonest people...
will probably be turned into black magic.
But in your hands, I don't need to worry.
Then I can learn all your tips.
It depends on your luck.
What's with you today?
So happy that you are kicking the football powerfully.
I've always been a good football player.
On the other hand, you've worsened.
I suspect you've been shirking...
because I haven't been around to train with you.
I thought you had forgotten me.
It has been so long since you contacted me.
Hey. Didn't I tell you that...
I went to a remote village to rescue someone?
And I even nearly got turned into...
human sacrifice by an evil shaman.
You're kidding me.
So are you hurt anywhere?
Any internal injuries? Where is it?
Stop fussing like a woman.
I'm fine.
I have divine body protection.
Plus, my master was watching out for me.
You gave me a fright.
Why is learning Mao Shan so dangerous?
It's more dangerous than the underworld.
That's different.
They harm people, but we help people.
Even so, you're not a policeman.
There's no need to risk your life to help people.
What's with you now?
Are you my mom?
What a nag.
Master said there are capable people in this world.
But the greater their capabilities, the stronger their desires become.
To the point where they will go to any lengths to fulfill them.
We learn Taoism to keep ourselves from becoming such people...
and use its power to keep this kind of people from harming others.
You seem more determined to become a Taoist master.
That didn't cross my mind.
I just want to help people.
That day, when Keong and Zhu came to thank me,
I actually felt really happy.
It was the first time I felt...
I was no longer someone who did everything wrong.
It was the first time I felt that I was no longer a total outcast.
You were never an outcast.
People were just scared of you.
You were the only one who was willing to play football with me...
and be my friend.
Then don't ignore this friend of yours, okay?
I know. You're such a nag.
Let's go have some soda. My treat.
Hoi, what can I do for you?
Mr. Pang.
Actually, I came to you because I wanted to perform a ritual.
But while waiting for you just now,
I drew this stick.
Guan Yin's lot, the fifth stick.
Looking for a spring in a meadow,
through pain and hardship.
Meeting an old friend by chance,
achieve success hand in hand.
I think you should know the meaning without asking me.
Seeking a spring to quench one's thirst is a wild goose chase.
If you fail to survive, it's a dead end.
There's clearly spring water, yet you insist to continue.
So that becomes a prophecy of self-realization.
Think carefully.
Is your end determined by fate...
or do you choose to frame your own destiny?
Then what other choice do I have?
That depends on your ultimate objective.
Is it fame and fortune...
or benevolence and affection between friends...
or something else?
I don't know.
Being involved in criminal activities,
I would be lying if I said I wasn't looking for...
fame and fortune.
But I'm not stupid enough to risk my life doing that.
At first, I just wanted to look for a good leader to follow.
To conquer the world with him.
And now?
You have rank and power. Isn't that what you want?
Mr. Pang.
I've always been a Taoist scholar.
That's why you do have a choice.
It's not like you only know how to be a criminal.
You're just not very clear as to what your ultimate objective is.
Mr. Pang, thank you.
Hoi, we've just had a quiet contemplation.
Come up anytime you find it hard to think things through.
Let the Great Founder help you.
I understand.
(Barbershop)
Sing.
Are you alone?
I boiled some herbal tea. Have a seat.
Thank you, Sing.
Here.
Have some.
What?
Afraid that it's poisoned?
Of course not.
Hoi.
How many years have we been friends?
I started following you since 1977.
It has been seven years.
Longer than that.
In 1965, I swam down here...
and nearly drowned.
Luckily, you and Man pulled me to shore.
I would've died otherwise.
It has been 20 years.
I never thought you would remember.
Because I consider you as my friend.
Sing, is there anything you want to tell me?
We were young when we started out.
We had fun as we beat and killed people.
We were so happy.
It's different now.
Everyone shows me respect in front of me and behind me.
They're so careful when they talk to me.
But I don't know what they're harboring in their hearts.
Sing, if there's anything you want to know,
I'll check it out for you.
Hoi, you deal with the accounts.
I wonder if the friendship between us...
can be cleared up the same way as we would...
clear our account books.
Sing, how can we calculate it like this?
The friendship between us is, of course, from the heart.
What those people did to me during the Ghost Festival,
were you involved?
Sing, who did you hear this from?
Don't bother denying it.
No need to apologize or even explain it.
All the more reason...
I don't want to know whether it was really you who did it.
But don't worry.
If I wanted you to die, there won't be just one person here.
Sing, I really had nothing to do with it.
How could I harm you?
When I was such a lowlife,
you still risked your life to save me.
Until this day, I remembered it. Until this day, I'm grateful for it.
That's why I always include you in whatever profit we gained...
and exclude you when we suffered losses.
Why?
Because I really regarded you as my own brother.
You schemed against me!
From the day your cronies from outside tried to kill me,
I no longer regarded you as my own brother.
Now that I'm managing the whole organization,
even if you died ten times over,
you still won't make up for it!
If you really don't want to die,
tell me quickly who the mastermind is.
(Pak Bak Chuen Has Cracked the Paranormal Case at Ghost Festival)
Just a minute.
Please help my daughter.
Open heaven's door.
Close the netherworld.
So be it!
Is she all right?
Let the Great Founder bless her first.
When did she start becoming like this?
Did you take her to see a doctor or some other master?
I can't help your daughter if you don't tell me anything.
From when she started talking,
she often said she sees many people.
She sees many people whom we can't see.
I've been to see many masters,
but they said she is possessed and couldn't help her.
She hadn't been sleeping these few nights.
Tonight was exceptionally bad.
Ho Ying isn't possessed.
She just has a more outstanding disposition than most people.
She can receive more varied signals than other people.
She can see more things, especially at night.
The third eye?
You could say that.
The signals must've disturbed her for many nights that she lost sleep.
So she was out of her senses for a while.
I've lit the calming incense...
and performed some rituals to settle her spirits for a bit.
Then can the third eye be sealed off?
The best way to deal with it is to let her learn how to control it.
Bring Ho Ying here on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month.
I will slowly teach her how to control it.
Where's her dad?
None of your business.
All right, I won't ask.
Let her have some peace and quiet first.
My daughter.
How have you been these 10 years?
That's my own affair.
If life out there isn't easy for you,
why don't you come back?
I don't mind you being angry with me,
but don't make life difficult for yourself.
I pay you to exorcise the ghost,
not to listen to your lectures.
Daughter, we haven't seen each other for ten years.
Why don't you sit down and have a chat with me?
You let go when you shouldn't have.
What's the point of holding me back now?
Let go.
Never mind if you ignore me.
But you must bring Ho Ying here.
Don't let the child suffer.
Ho Ying, let's go home.
My sister.
Move aside.
Quick, let's follow her.
