"The Incarcerated Detective"
I've destroyed all the evidence.
What can you do about it?
I've destroyed all the evidence.
What can you do about it?
You're arrested
for tampering with evidence.
You son of a bitch.
Hand it over.
- What are you doing? Let go.
- Come on.
Where? I'm already in prison!
Where can you take me? Let go!
I'll see you in another cell.
Thank you, friendly inmate.
No, he's the Incarcerated Detective.
You're welcome.
Because justice...
Will forever stand on
the side of justice.
"The Incarcerated Detective,
Episode 108"
Boss.
Thanks, Chow.
Let's work together.
Work together, okay?
Thank you, boss.
Let's head to the bathhouse,
my treat.
I'm used to bathing myself.
I gotta work.
My car's here...
- Bye-bye!
- Thank you, boss...
Thank you, boss.
That bottle of red was horrible...
I want to throw up.
That guy...
So what does this mean?
Lark, with you on board,
it's gonna happen.
Right?
Let me tell you.
I think the story is great.
I've been hoping to work with you.
Alright. The director's right here.
- Got it?
- Alright, supporting new directors.
I'll contact Jan
and set up a meeting.
- Thanks.
- Set up a meeting...
That's Lark,
the Incarcerated Detective.
It's Lark...
the Incarcerated Detective.
I love watching your show.
- Hello there.
- Can we take a picutre with you?
Sure... of course you can.
- You're so handsome.
- Thanks.
Let me help you take a picutre.
Alright, thank you.
1, 2, 3...
Let's do your signature pose.
Alright...
Okay.
Alright, look here, 1, 2, 3.
Because justice...
Will forever stand on
the side of justice.
I'm hungry.
There's a new noodle place nearby,
let's check it out.
Sure.
What the hell?
Hey!
Forget it, he must be drunk.
Be careful, he might hurt you.
Isn't he the Incarcerated Detective
on TV?
Who's that?
That guy...
I don't watch TV.
Let's go.
Hello?
Are you still at dinner?
Incarcerated Detective
shoots tonight at 23:30.
Dinner's done, I'm on my way.
We wouldn't stay long,
there weren't any girls.
We're shooting the episode
with the female ghost.
So much weird thing is happening.
Long shooting hours.
Getting in the way of
my movie deals.
You tell them.
I don't wanna be a cop again.
Lark, just calm down a bit.
Are you drinking and driving?
Be careful, you're a public figure.
It's a big deal if you get caught.
I won't.
Damn, I'll call you later.
Sir.
Sir?
Do you know why I pulled you over?
Why is that, sir?
Because...
Justice always stands on
the side of justice.
Yes...
Justice is always
on the side of justice.
Can I take a selfie?
Sure, of course you can.
Thank you.
Hold on.
You wanna leave just like that?
Your seatbelt.
Right... sorry, sir...
Thank you... thank you, sir...
Oh damn.
"Prison Film Set"
"Haunted Prison"
Ask the director
what time we're getting off.
Why would you ask the AD?
Stop shooting,
are you paying for damages?
Hurry up.
Change into the costumes
for your next scene.
Hello director.
Brother Lark.
I'll work on your makeup later.
Lark!
Good morning...
I wanna apologize.
Jan said you had
some thoughts on the script.
But I've spoken to the writer.
We hope you can compromise
on the ghost element.
Because that
affects the whole storyline.
Alright, sure, no problem.
Thank you, Lark...
We're ready to go.
Let's go through the scene, okay?
Thanks.
Thanks, Brother Lark.
Alright,
we don't need to go through it.
Let's just leave it as is,
I'm good with that.
We gotta go through it.
It's a very important scene.
Yeah it is.
Thank you, Brother Lark.
Jut put it up here.
Sure.
Position it better.
How can I read it
if it's horizontal?
Stop messing around, Lark.
You...
Your hands...
What the heck?
Why is there fake blood?
It's the wrong scene.
Let me talk to makeup.
It's okay, don't blame them.
No worries, it's okay.
- Let's go through the scene.
- Tell makeup not to come over.
Thanks,
which part are we looking at?
So the ghost is seeking
your help to find justice.
Then you slowly...
Don't touch me, carry on.
You touch her chin.
And say, "Don't worry..."
And then your signature catchphrase.
Then I'll start adding mist.
What?
- Your catchphrase.
- Sure.
Then I'll add some mist.
To give it a mysterious ambiance.
Then the camera tracks in.
I'm actually referencing
a film that I love.
Lark is on set.
Lark, this is your position marker.
When you say your lines...
Are we ready?
Let's go ahead and try one.
Try one? I can only do this once.
Sorry, I need to fix your mic.
Then let's go for it.
Let's shoot it for real.
Camera rolling.
And... action!
Incarcerated Detective...
I died in vain, I died horribly...
Cut, that was amazing!
But he hasn't said
his catchphrase yet.
His expression was priceless though.
Let's do one more.
Where's Lark?
He said he'd only do one take.
So that's the only take we'll get.
What?
Lark...
Lark, are you doing okay?
We came in here
to talk to you about...
Did you guys...
See the female ghost just now?
The female ghost...
she's ready to roll.
She's a real ghost.
I hired her, she's called Ceci.
She's looks very convincing.
That's because she's a real ghost.
I just saw her neck... she...
It went like... crack... snap...
Lark.
Didn't you say you'd stay off booze?
Yeah, Lark.
You shouldn't be drinking
while you work.
The Incarcerated Detective is sober.
I'm not drunk, she's a real ghost.
I would know
because I ran my car into her.
Considering this scene,
using a ghost as an actress.
Is perfect casting, isn't it?
Yeah.
It's okay, that's not important.
Let's get down to business.
Because that scene just now.
Was missing something.
We wanted you
to say your catchphrase.
I'll ask the director to come out.
Director, excuse me.
The cameras are in position.
Let's go through it outside?
Lark, let's walk and talk.
Because this is
a very important scene.
Lark, we can eat
after shooting this scene.
Come on.
Lark, thank you.
Lark, here's your marker.
Alright, let's go.
Quiet on set.
Give me back my head.
Quiet! Who's talking?
Nobody's talking.
Nevermind, let's do it.
Alright, quiet on set, do not talk.
Wait...
Wait a second.
What's happening?
Camera's down, let's call it a day.
We're good to go.
Alright, let's go again.
Sound speed.
Alright, 3, 2, Action.
Detective...
Can you help me?
Help me...
What's going on?
Turn them back on...
Was there
a proper blessing ceremony?
Director is losing his temper.
Did the generator run out of fuel?
Someone go check it out.
We're good to go, director.
Director, let's do it again.
Director, are we doing it again.
Get out of my way...
shut the door...
I told you, she's a real ghost.
She's a real ghost,
are we still shooting?
Shut up.
What should we do now, director?
Let's wrap and get out of here.
This is our last day on this
location, otherwise we'll lose it.
There still enough time.
Let's just get
an extra to replace her.
What? What about continuity?
Right, continuity should be good.
Why did you hire
a real ghost to come to work?
Sorry, I didn't know.
We're only missing the ending,
director.
Let's just get it over with.
I'll give you priority
on my schedule.
Let's just stop shooting now.
What?
I'm scared.
Director...
Don't replace me.
Don't replace me.
Director...
Let's keep shooting.
Are you okay?
Do you still have
humanity left in you?
She was ran over on her way to work.
She wants to finish her job
even though she's a ghost.
Isn't that the true
Hong Konger spirit?
As long as we work together
alongside each other.
And influence a life with a life.
A priceless collaboration
between humans and ghosts.
I believe that...
We can create something that
is heart-stirring for the audience.
Do you know what you're saying?
She was in a car accident.
She still showed up right on time.
Right.
She doesn't need makeup,
that's good right?
She won't go to the great beyond
if her heart still lingers on.
She's a fine actress.
We can't strip her chance away
just because she's a ghost.
It just so happens we need
a character that's a ghost.
Why can't we hire a ghost
as an actor for this role?
Why do we always have to
put someone in makeup?
That's incredibly unfair to ghosts.
Right, you have a point.
That makes sense.
Awesome, we'll have
a market in hell as well!
Wait a second...
Are you guys out of your mind?
She's a ghost!
You guys are letting
a ghost work on your show?
Maybe she's here to
seek revenge on me.
Don't you even
think about ghostbusting.
Just focus on your acting.
I think Ceci is
perfectly cast for the role.
I'm okay with that.
Wait for me.
She's overwhelmed with sorrow,
and she's a pro.
She didn't follow the script,
she's not a pro at all.
You missed a few lines.
Don't talk to me about being "pro".
Makeup heading to set...
We'll work on her
performance once we're on set.
You too, don't stay here.
You bunch of jerks.
Thank you for letting me
act with you, my saviour.
Alright!
We're just missing the ending,
let's finish this.
Brother Lark.
In this scene, an inmate
will charge at you with a shiv.
Luckily, the female ghost
will help you apprehend him.
Where's the inmate?
Sorry, the inmate is coming.
I'm here.
You again?
We're lacking budget.
Whatever.
Director.
Ceci, come and rehearse the scene.
Come on...
Screw it.
Let's just do this.
Good, it's almost sunrise.
Ceci will have to go.
Alright, let's go for it.
Ready, and action.
Because justice will forever
stand on the side of justice.
Sorry, Lark.
Get off me, asshole.
Sorry.
Are you okay?
- Are you bleeding?
- Don't touch me.
Are you injured anywhere?
Go slower, give him time
to get out of the way.
Director.
Sorry, it's my first time
shooting an action scene.
I'm still inexperienced, I'm sorry.
This scene is very dangerous,
let's change it.
Change it?
Director, perhaps I should
stop the shiv with my body.
Using your body to shop the shiv?
Director, this is real stuff.
It's real.
I can do it.
Alright, let's try one.
Because justice will forever
stand on the side of justice.
Director.
How was that?
There isn't enough blood.
Not enough blood?
Sorry, let's go again.
Stab harder.
Are you even trying?
Let's try different angles.
Alright.
Ceci, you're gonna
float into the scene.
Ceci, come down,
I need to check your mic.
This is great, just stay like this.
Thank you.
Be careful.
We have to take care of our actors.
Director.
Is this okay?
Let's try it like this.
Right... that's great.
Steve, get over here.
- We're almost ready.
- Alright.
You're here.
Then we'll do a close up right here.
I want some flesh to still
be attached to the bone on her neck.
Help me, these guys are insane.
Where are you?
Why didn't you pick up the phone?
I'm shooting right now.
What is there to shoot?
What else?
"The Incarcerated Detective".
What? Haven't you heard the news?
The whole crew was
in a traffic accident.
Their car tumbled down
the side of a mountain.
Lark...
Don't drink and drive.
You have to keep shooting...
Wear your seatbelt.
Lark... don't leave...
Don't drink and drive.
Sir.
Get out of the car.
Get in the car.
We're gonna administer
a breathalyzer test.
I didn't drink.
You have to do it
even if you didn't drink.
Get lost.
Listen.
Lark, of
"The Incarcerated Detective" fame.
Was involved in
a traffic collison last month.
He's always showed up to work drunk.
This incident almost
halted production on the series.
Luckily, the studio
found a replacement.
According to our sources.
Lark's mental health is
deteriorating inside prison.
Perhaps it's the impact of
losing a precious role.
He's been troubled
by hallucinations.
Saying that a bunch of ghosts
are forcing him to shoot.
We wish Brother Lark
the best of health.
Hurry up.
Hell yeah.
I've destroyed all the evidence.
What are you gonna do about it?
I've destroyed all the evidence.
What are you gonna do about it?
You're arrested
with tampering of evidence.
Thank you, friendly inmate.
No, she's
the Incarcerated Female Detective.
No... that can't be...
Get out of the way...
What are you doing?
Get lost.
I'll show you guys.
Justice... will forever
stand on the side of... justice...
Justice...
I'm gonna bust your head wide open.
Gonna beat you up.
You're in the way of the TV.
Ridiculous.
Detective? Aren't you the detective?
What's going on? Sit the hell down.
Let's get outta here.
Because justice...
Will forever
stand on the side of justice.
"The Incarcerated Female Detective,
Episode 1"
"Cute Wife, Obey Me Tonight"
What are you looking at?
Good morning, have you eaten yet?
Fatso, don't go in.
What happened?
There's a pervert in there.
There are two perverts here.
He's a gay pervert.
I must correct you.
Do you know what place this is?
Male toilet.
It's a public toilet.
Do you know what that means?
Anyone can go in and out of
a public toilet.
Free entry, equal amongst all.
It's a place of freedom.
But that pervert was looking at me.
I just don't want
the same to happen to you.
Kwan.
Are you from this era?
How can your values be so backwards?
Your words are discriminatory.
Are you homophobic?
I'm not homophobic.
I just don't want that gay guy
to mess with me.
Some might say that you're
discriminating their sexuality.
You might get sued
and end up in prison.
Be careful.
I'm going to pee.
Thank you.
Admiralty, please.
I'm not crossing the harbour, sorry.
I'm changing shifts.
- Get another cab.
- Alright.
Damn taxi dog.
What do you mean?
What did you just say?
If I'm a taxi dog then what are you?
What are you?
You're a harbour crossing dog.
What? Come at me.
You didn't even shut the door.
I think he's just busy.
He'll call you back later.
I'm not asking him
to drive an expensive car.
I just want someone to
drive me home when I'm tipsy.
Is that too much to ask?
Look at the three of us,
at rock bottom.
Nah, mine's just not free tonight.
That's an excuse,
what could he be doing at this hour?
Rose's boyfriend treats her well.
For her birthday last year.
They went on a staycation
at the Peninsula.
Right, I've been
to many of Hong Kong's.
5-star hotels for a staycation.
There's a buffet, a spa,
it's amazing.
The buffet is included?
Yeah, you didn't know?
I... really wanna
try it out as well.
Let me ask you.
Is a boyfriend who takes you
on a staycation more important.
Or a boyfriend who drives you home?
Of course it's the staycation.
Who'd know if he drove me home.
But if it's a staycation.
The whole world would know.
Take a few pics, post them online,
that's awesome.
Wait a minute, speaking of which.
Ling, you've been
dating your boyfriend
for two years now.
How come we've never met him?
It's okay,
you guys are such "mean girls".
You guys are getting off soon.
Here's for the ride.
Don't worry about it.
What do you mean?
Stop it! Take it, bitch.
Just take it,
you don't earn much anyway.
Driver, you can drop me off
around the corner.
- Bye-bye.
- See you next time, bye-bye.
What's up?
Are you gonna come sit up front?
Afraid that your friends
will see you.
What is this?
It's yours.
Is driving a taxi illegal?
Can you not be so sensitive?
You don't even know
where your problem lies.
It's late, and I show up on demand.
Is that my problem?
Your friends
just called me a driver.
And that's my problem?
What else would they call you?
You came to pick me up.
You just wanted to
drive me to your place.
So that we can have sex.
Can you honestly remember
the last time we had sex?
What do you see me as?
How long has it been
since you came to my place?
Because having sex in that hole.
Makes me feel like a whore.
It feels terrible.
I never treated you like one.
Being together with you...
Besides getting free taxi rides.
I don't know what else
I can get from this.
I can't see a future
in our relationship.
Are you crying again?
Forget it,
I don't wanna mess up your taxi.
I'm leaving.
Hey!
Ling Nai Yiu.
I'll drive you home tonight.
Alright then...
I'll take you to your staycation!
Your majesty...
Unravel my clothing.
Remove all that I'm wearing.
Isn't that slutty?
She's sexually autonomous,
not slutty, let's have a look.
Wait a second.
It's my turn to read that one.
Remember to return it.
Kwan, where's my copy of.
'The Maiden Who Married
into a Poor Family'?
It's with you.
What are you looking at?
5-star hotels,
with spas and a buffet.
That's 4 - 5 grand.
What a good deal...
My girlfriend wants to
go on a staycation.
Kwan, are you out of your mind?
4 - 5 grand so you can
book a room to have sex?
Is your girlfriend made of gold?
Not exactly.
But she has an amazing body.
Kwan, you don't need to
treat women too well.
I don't?
Do you?
I don't?
Master.
Do you have the talisman
from last time?
Yeah I do, wait a second.
I got you a talisman, wait a second.
Alright.
When you get to your car,
put this on your forehead.
Keep walking straight,
it symbolizes a roof over your head.
Understood?
Take this.
- Thank you, master...
- Store this well.
Here, don't let go.
I'm leaving, thank you.
Don't look back.
Did you pick that thing up
from the village ancestral hall?
What? I just imbued
a magical charm into that item.
Didn't you see that?
Do you want me to make one for you?
Yeah, Kwan, it really works.
It helped fight off
some weird thing.
Sure thing.
It's okay, I'll pick it up
from the ancestral hall myself.
Are you messing with me?
Ads for a staycation?
They're listening to
what we're saying.
I'm used to it.
I'm not afraid of them listening in.
I live an honest life,
I don't really care.
Not for me, though.
"Red Rum Party House. Come here
for a couple's staycation now!"
"Haunted Industrial Building"
What's happening?
Why did you throw my comic book?
It's damaged now.
Is it yours?
Do you know what you're reading?
Whatever you're reading. Defies
the traditional Chinese values of
man and wife.
You can read it by yourself.
But you're putting it out
in the open.
You're promotic toxic ideologies.
What's happening?
You're a "tsundere".
What does that mean?
What are you saying?
This is nonsense.
Follow me in here.
What does that mean?
This is your room.
There are board games,
mah jong, sofa bed.
Chairs, a table, a TV.
Ask me if you need an HDMI cable.
This place has a central AC.
If you're ordering food,
this is room C.
The address is on
the WhatsApp confirmation.
You can't move the furniture around.
If you have decorations,
make sure you clear them out.
No double-sided tape on the wall.
You can't use spray paint,
no durian.
No sexual intercourse, no hotpot.
- What?
- No smoking...
What?
No sex?
No, why not?
Say all that stuff again.
You can't move the furniture around.
If you have decorations,
make sure you clear them out.
No double-sided tape on the wall.
You can't use spray paint,
no durian.
No sexual intercourse, no...
No sexual intercourse.
You said there's
no sex allowed in here.
We can't allow sex in here.
You said this place
was for a staycation.
Yes, it's for a staycation.
You don't have to have sex
on a staycation.
Right?
Can I lock the door?
Sure.
A lot of people lock the door,
need some help?
I'll lock it tighter for you.
A lot of people lock the door.
Excuse me, where's number 10?
Namo Amitabha...
Hi...
Hi...
Hi...
Which floor?
10th floor.
Just press "10" by yourself.
Where's Room C please?
That way, I'll take you there.
Thank you.
Hurry up.
What took you so long?
My legs are numb.
Why didn't you come and pick me up?
I was prepping this room.
Look, a 5-star staycation, surprise!
5-star?
What is this place?
A staycation,
I decorated it myself,
isn't it nice?
Why can't you just
book a normal hotel room?
This is no different
than a hotel staycation.
You can ask
the little girl up front.
I've had enough.
This is a party room for rent.
It's a place for teenagers.
If you don't feel ashamed,
I feel embarrassed.
Is it embarrassing?
I think it...
Makes me feel youthful.
Youthful?
I don't have high standards.
Do I not deserve better?
I spent five hours
prepping this place.
If you're not satisfied.
Then you're no better
than your gold-digger friends.
I'm a gold-digger?
You said that Simon is a fool
for treating Rose so well.
You just don't wanna
spend money on me.
You're right.
I'm not as rich as them.
I'm just a taxi driver.
I'm not gonna argue,
I've had enough.
Let's break up.
Kwan.
What's up?
There aren't many guys
who would spend so much time.
Trying to make
their girlfriend happy.
Weren't you gonna leave me?
I won't allow you to say that
about yourself.
Actually, my request is very simple.
I just want you and me to be...
Together!
Yeah.
Kwan.
What's up with you?
You look exhausted.
I went on a staycation last night.
My legs are sore.
How was the place?
Of course it was fun.
I prepared some petals
and fragrances.
It was as
if she took an aphrodisiac.
She was climbing up and down.
She had her hands full.
I guess there's no need
to book a hotel after all.
Kwan.
Is your zodiac sign the ox
or the horse?
It's the dog.
Did you get off the bed
with your left or right foot?
Right foot. No... the left foot.
Have you eaten an orange
in the past week?
Does orange juice count?
Did you call your mum?
Damn.
That space is haunted.
What?
You had an encounter with a ghost.
Nonsense.
What the hell do you mean?
Your forehead is dark,
and your lips are pale.
You must've encountered
something ghastly.
I had a staycation last night,
I'm just exhausted.
Right?
No.
It was a horny ghost.
A horny ghost?
Yeah.
Some spirits did not fulfill.
Their desires before they died.
So they wanna have
sex even after death.
They'd possess
spiritually weak souls.
And lure them into sex.
We call this a "horny haunting".
Horny haunting?
Was your girlfriend
any different than usual?
Nope.
No? She just keeps wanting more,
I'm all empty and dry man!
Kwan, this doesn't sound bad at all.
- Exactly.
- Sounds awesome...
Kwan.
Stop messing around.
Here.
Keep this talisman with you.
Did you steal this
from the ancestral hall again?
You...
Keep this with you, free of charge.
As a precaution.
And a peace of mind.
Alright then...
So annoying.
"My Fickle & Naughty Little Minx"
Hand it to me.
Why did you bring
so much stuff down?
This is all my stuff.
I didn't pack the bigger items yet.
I'll bring them to you later.
What happened?
We've broken up,
I don't want these in the way.
Broken up?
What do you mean by that?
We had... so much fun last night.
What's going on?
Why are you always like this?
You're so fickle, how can I adapt?
Right, it's been so tough on you.
You don't have to adapt any more.
Ling Nai Yiu.
Let's go to the party room again.
You go to that
ghastly place by yourself.
What ghastly place?
You enjoyed yourself last night.
Do you remember?
What happened?
Hello?
Hey baby, where are you now?
I'm working right now, where else?
Are you visiting me tonight?
Where can I find you?
Party room C.
You're there right now?
What are you doing there?
Isn't that place too cheap for you?
Don't stay there too long.
I'll make it up to you tonight.
You can do
whatever you want with me.
I'm coming now.
You're here.
I've been waiting for so long.
Didn't you say this place
was too cheap for you?
Why wouldn't I like it?
You have to visit me
more often from now on.
You sometimes complain
about this and that.
And now you're being so reasonable.
That'll be $160, thank you.
So expensive?
It's usually $140.
But the meter says $160,
are you paying or not?
It's usually $140.
Did you take a detour?
I only have $140 with me,
do you want it?
You're still missing $20.
I don't have any more.
I only have $140 in cash.
It's usually $140,
and it's $160 today.
Why is it so expensive?
Get out of my car.
No, I only have $140.
Actually...
A lot of people
don't understand that.
Taxi drivers are under
a lot of pressure.
This customer slammed my door today.
And said I was a "taxi dog".
Many people are rude
in Hong Kong nowadays.
Don't worry,
I'll help you tell them off.
Nai Yiu.
I've been so happy lately.
I love talking with you like this.
It feels like...
I'm so close to you.
Our conversations are so deep.
Then... do you wanna...
Go deeper?
Nai Yiu.
Nai Yiu, where are you going?
Thanks.
You're missing 40 cents.
You're asking for 40 cents change?
That's still money, isn't it?
Damn taxi dog.
See you later, sucker.
My husband's abroad,
let's go to my place.
Please puke inside the plastic bag.
Stop it, the driver can see us.
So what? I'll beat him up.
I said, puke inside the plastic bag.
What are you looking at?
Eyes on the road.
Granny's gonna
give me crap this time.
Let's go again.
What?
Let's do it again.
No, I have to leave.
Why?
I'm covering
the morning shift tomorrow.
I told you, remember?
Are you losing interest in me?
Nai Yiu. Love is not just about sex.
I feel like you're suffocating me.
What is it now?
I'm really tired.
You can do it, let's go again.
You forced my hand.
You can't eat that.
Again...
You're awake?
Look at his utterly exhausted face.
Kwan. Did you break up?
Where's the talisman I gave you?
Did you use it?
I'm sure your girlfriend
has been possessed.
By a horny ghost?
That doesn't sound too bad,
seem like fun.
Fun?
He will be totally sucked dry,
and die!
Kwan, then don't go anymore.
Don't? What do you mean?
If I don't go on a staycation,
She'll break up with me.
- Don't do it, Kwan.
- I don't want to either.
She wants sex every night.
I'm exhausted, you know?
If I don't sleep,
my granny's gonna be mad.
Don't go, Kwan.
- It's okay...
- Calm down.
It's okay...
- Do you have water?
- Water? Water...
- Excuse me, do you have water?
- Have some water...
Excuse me, do you have water?
I do... here you go.
You'll feel better after some water.
That's ghost saliva!
The bag feels heavy...
The party room. Give me the address.
What are you gonna do?
Come on, time to go ghostbusting!
Don't tell granny!
We're almost there, hang on!
- Hey!
- What did you do to my comic?
Are you having a threesome today?
Stop messing around.
Which room does he usually go to?
Tell me now.
What are you doing here, uncle?
What am I doing here?
I'm here for an exorcism, hurry up.
What does that mean?
What does that mean?
Room C.
That was a "C"?
Aggressive jerk.
Where's your girlfriend?
She's not here yet.
Demonic entity, show yourself!
Why didn't you tell me
you're bringing a friend?
This is Fatso, I came uninvited.
Fatso?
You're like a cute teddy bear.
Do you want a taste?
Are you crazy?
Put your clothes back on.
Take this.
Out of my way.
Horny ghost...
I'll skip the niceties.
You wanna escape?
Die, horny ghost!
Are you crazy? You'll hurt her.
Babe, I'm so scared.
Get out of here...
Die, here I come.
You're lying down again?
Accept your death!
I'm helping you.
She's been possessed.
She's indeed been possessed.
But she treats me well.
Escape is futile.
Your fate is death, evil spirit.
What is it now?
She'll suck out all of your energy.
You'll die.
Let's not get physical.
We can talk this out.
Where is she?
She's here.
What now?
You can't escape anymore?
Evil spirit, you will perish.
Are you okay?
Is there a more
humane way to do this?
This ghost is really horny,
you can't take it.
I'm sorry for this.
Kwan, you don't love me anymore.
How could I not love you?
During this period of time.
You gave me so much joy.
But we're from different worlds.
We have different frequencies.
How about this.
You slow down your frequency.
And we can meet up
occasionally and have fun.
Okay?
Fatso.
Please help me convince this lady.
She's not a lady.
Please let my friend go.
He's not suitable for you.
She's not a lady.
What's wrong with indulging
on a man's dragon?
Why are you modern people
so old school?
Kwan.
Where's the talisman I gave you?
The talisman?
You mean that bell thing?
Right, I have it.
Kwan... did you find it?
I'm searching for it... wait.
Can you hurry up?
Kwan...
How about this scripture?
That'll work.
Go on, stick it on.
Kwan.
I had a really good time
these past few weeks.
No man has ever treated me so well.
I knew our relationship
will eventually come to an end.
If you have the heart
to forever cease my reincarnation.
And dissipate into the abyss.
Then go ahead and stick it on.
You asshole.
You're awake?
What am I doing here?
You're okay now.
What is he doing?
He's just playing some music.
The bag you just bought is so cute.
I wanted to buy the red one.
It's new this season.
If you don't buy it,
it'll be off-season.
Babe.
- I'll help you with that.
- Thank you.
Do you girls need a ride?
It's okay,
we'll get out of your hair.
You got yourself a red stallion.
We'll be waiting
for your wedding invitations.
Alright, get lost.
Is she sick of us already?
Alright, see you.
"Domineering Driver
and the Dainty Wife"
Do people still use these machines?
They look quite nice.
Waste of air conditioning.
What's this?
There's a ghost, just now...
Don't be such a chicken.
Don't run around.
This way.
No, just now...
Little girl.
Are you a human or a ghost?
"Haunted Shopping Mall"
Do you know where Kat went to play?
Hey.
Kat, time for some candy.
You guys must think that
a quiet mall means it's haunted.
You're wrong!
This place was bustling
in the 80s and 90s.
But it's also a time
when it was the most haunted.
Because this place attracts couples
who are ready to get married.
And it also attracts children
who are to be reincarnated.
This bride-to-be.
Do you want to try
anything in particular?
We have all kinds of styles here.
You can take your pick.
I want something
that shows my shoulder.
When I was a kid,
I used to play at my mom's store.
I'd watch her pick
wedding dresses for clients.
While she helped the kids
seek prospective mothers.
How about this one?
It shows your shoulders.
The bottom is like
a princess' dress.
It looks elegant, and sexy.
I think I'll take this one.
But can you add a piece of
cloth in the front?
To cover my baby belly.
Sure... I'll adjust it for you...
Alright, thank you.
Alright...
Thank you.
Come back for a fitting
next Thursday, thank you...
Bye-bye.
Bye-bye.
Bye-bye.
Patting the back of a ghost's dead.
Hello.
She's called Kat.
When my mom was busy working.
And couldn't attend to me.
She'd always be there
to play with me.
Don't you want to reincarnate?
Yay! Then you can stay here
and play with me.
After mom retired.
I took over the store.
But nobody goes to malls these days.
Not even a ghost in sight.
It's heavy.
Takeout has arrived.
Good, I can smell it.
Let's order from
Cheung Fat next time.
The long-haired delivery guy
seems nice.
Cheung Fat closed down two days ago.
Business wasn't holding up.
Chiuchow lady told me today.
That she's closing
at the end of the month.
Pretty much all the stores
in 3/F have closed.
I thought her Chinese wedding
gowns were beautiful.
I always wished I would
have a chance to buy one.
But it's closing
before I can get married.
It's okay, Fong.
You still have another two weeks.
Alright.
No...
I'm a vegan...
I'm a vegan.
Eat some more.
No...
Have some more.
I'm a vegan.
Fire!
- Help...
- We're coming...
- What's going on?
- Fire!
There's a raging fire, help.
It's such a big fire,
I can't breathe...
I can't breathe...
Alright... I'll help you...
It's so hot... it's burning.
It's settled.
Thank you, firefighting hero.
What happened?
I couldn't sleep,
so I lit some incense.
Then I immediately fell asleep.
And this girl kept feeding me meat.
I ate so much meat.
It must've been the vegan
chicken stew from last time.
What? It was a vegan chicken stew?
The one from Sam Pan?
Yeah.
They serve vegan food there?
Nope.
Edward.
As long as you have
veganism in your heart.
The floor's wet, I'll get a mop.
I'll wipe your desk.
You guys keep talking about Kat.
Is she missing a front tooth?
Yeah, did you see her?
I get it now.
She knew I was a vegan.
So she fed me meat on purpose.
To shock me into waking up.
Otherwise I would've died
from the fire.
Help me thank her if you see her.
I haven't seen her in a long time.
- There's a ghost!
- I'm terrified.
There's another one there.
What kind of
a shopping mall is this?
It's Kat.
Fong.
Fong...
Kat.
Hello.
I've been looking for you.
Kat is a little rascal.
She loved playing pranks.
But she only does it with reason.
One time, Edward forgot to lock up.
Someone was stealing from his store.
And Kat wouldn't let him leave.
In another instance,
Yee was in the toilet.
A pervert was
taking pictures of her.
Luckily, Kat came to the rescue.
You're taking pictures?
What's your plan?
What are you guys talking about?
Take a look at this.
Oh shoot...
You guys got it too?
We tried fighting against it.
We don't have a choice but leave.
I just didn't think
it'd come so soon.
Gotta move out
by the end of the month.
Once they shut the four of us down.
That's the end for the mall.
What's up?
What's next for you?
I haven't thought about it.
You knew we'd be kicked out soon.
You really never thought about it?
I don't wanna leave.
It's great here.
Take a look.
Don't you like it?
I've been here for many years.
Of course I'd like it here.
Everything's old and worn down.
Why would you like it here?
There can be many reasons
to like a place.
Perhaps it's because of
the people here.
I'm changing professions
after the shop closes.
What are you gonna do?
A friend asked me
to start a business in Taiwan.
But we don't know
what we're gonna do.
I've never heard you mention it,
is it a boy or a girl?
Who is this person?
Secondary school classmate.
Why are you so up tight?
What's that got to do with you?
- You...
- So...
You go first.
Go ahead, you might forget.
Are you gonna say it?
What do you wanna do
before you leave?
I'll help you fulfill one wish.
One wish? That's a lot.
Let's start with one.
I just want this place
to be bustling again.
Giving us hope.
I don't care how much money we make.
As long as we're all happy together.
That's a lot of wishes,
you know that right?
You're so useless.
I'm just saying it as it is.
I'm also worried about Kat.
When all the stores close.
I dunno what's gonna happen to her.
Maybe we can persuade her to leave.
I've been trying since forever.
Or we could find her a good family.
And let her reincarnate.
That sounds good.
What are you doing?
- Kiss me.
- What?
Kat.
You little rascal!
You can't do that,
I've told you many times before.
I'm just trying to help you,
you're the rascal.
What's happening?
Nothing.
- Let's go inside.
- Sure.
Kat.
Kat.
I know you're here.
Kat.
Our store is closing
at the end of the month.
You shouldn't stay here any longer.
Don't be so childish.
You knew this place
was getting torn down.
It's dangerous for you here.
Didn't you say you'd play with me?
I know it's hard to let go.
It's hard for me as well.
There's nothing we can do.
Where can I go?
I just wanna play with you.
If you don't leave,
your soul will dissipate forever.
Then we don't be able to
see each other.
Be good.
Find a good family
to reincarnate into.
We'll see each other
in the next life.
Edward made a PR campaign
on the mall's closure.
There are
so many prospective parents.
Kat will definitely be able to
reincarnate this time!
Come and take a look.
You look beautiful today.
I know.
Hi, take a look at this.
Are you two planning
to have children?
We'd prefer
if it was just the two of us.
Have you considered having children?
What?
Marriage is about
producing offspring.
It's a cardinal rule.
And we have some baby items on sale.
I can talk you through it.
I don't think we will.
Alright then.
Back to the manicure.
Alright, I'll call you back.
Bye-bye.
- What do you think?
- It's nice, it matches you.
Babe, what do you think?
I gotta call someone back,
just a sec.
I could help you adjust this part...
Sorry, wait a second.
Hello? Yes...
Is this the one?
It looks nice.
I'll help her adjust the front,
so that she...
Excuse me.
Alright, bye-bye.
Sorry, where were we?
I'll help you adjust this part.
Make it lower and tighter.
What? Is that too revealing?
It can't go any lower.
I only bought that stock last week.
What do you think?
They won't have time
to have me as their kid.
First of all,
how did you guys start dating?
A friend introduced us.
We were at a concert
together in Japan.
Have we been to a concert in Japan?
Was it not?
I must've mixed it up.
Who were you with?
Why do you care?
Why are you yelling?
You're scaring the baby.
It's okay.
We won't be shooting
the concert, right?
Watch your tone with me.
You know that you're
just carrying a girl, right?
What? So a girl doesn't earn a cut?
We only get the land
and shares if it's a boy.
Luckily, my brother had a daughter.
Give birth to this one,
and give me a boy.
You're destined to have daughters.
What's that got to do with me?
Forget it,
we're not making the video.
What do you want from me?
What do you think?
They're rich,
it's a good opportunity.
I don't like them as my parents.
You're running out of choices.
I don't want it. I'm upset.
Don't be so picky.
I'm not reincarnating.
Iced lemon tea.
Make that two, please.
Johnny.
Keung.
You work here?
Nah, I'm just helping out.
Still figuring stuff out
for your wedding?
We're almost there.
Just tying up some loose ends.
Also, I want some pictures taken.
This is Johnny,
we went to college together.
And this is his girlfriend Mabel.
They've been in
a stable relationship for years.
Also...
They want to have children.
So have you guys planned it out?
Yeah.
How many are you planning to have?
I don't mind how many kids we have.
A football team.
You'll be popping out kids.
You've been dating for so long.
How many fights have you had?
1, 2, 3, less than 10.
They're thinking of
moving to Canada.
Yeah,
education is better over there.
And the air is better.
But kids might
have trouble adapting.
I wonder if she'll like
the candy there.
Don't think about it too much.
It's the best arrangement.
Let's go with this one, okay?
Okay?
Come over to my store.
You asked so many questions.
- Is there a discount?
- Ask again later when you're back.
- Come over...
- Sure.
So he has nothing to do with it?
I thought you worked here.
Come over here.
I'm sorry...
So many questions...
What do you think?
This couple seems nice,
they're flawless.
What is it again?
I'll miss you,
I wanna be with you forever.
I can come visit you in Canada.
I don't want that.
Listen to me.
You have to be good
in your next life.
No matter how bad the circumstances.
You have to be true to yourself.
You understand me?
I understand.
Johnny and Mabel are leaving.
Kat, you can't be
so naughty in the next life.
You have to be nice to them.
If I know you've been naughty.
I'll come and spank your bottom.
Kat.
We'll see each other soon.
So that's it then?
So... we'll each call our ride.
So...
Let's keep in touch.
Or...
What is it?
Or we could ask everyone
out to dinner.
Sure.
See you soon.
Yee, I'm calling my ride downstairs.
What are you doing?
- There's always a day for parting.
- Go after her...
Go after her...
Fong.
I like you.
I've liked you for a long time.
Is this Kat?
What do you mean?
What's gotten into you?
This is so sudden.
I was afraid that
I'd never see you again.
So?
What do you wanna do?
I want you to be my girlfriend.
Together with you.
Inseparable.
The Master is here.
Make way.
All ghosts and spirits make way.
Go ahead and make way.
Don't say I didn't warn you.
- The Master is on the way.
- On the way.
Master. It's this floor.
It's haunted.
Yes, Master.
What are you three doing here?
It's none of your business,
get out of here.
This place is sold already.
Please get out of here.
Can't you see we're all packed up?
What's happening?
Stop arguing...
The Master loves you all.
Master, please have mercy.
There are no evil spirits here.
Get rid of
all the wandering spirits.
There's no need,
there are no ghosts here.
You guys can leave.
Wait!
There's one left.
A little rascal ghost over there.
It's Kat.
Kat!
Why are you still here?
Fan.
By the mercy of the Buddha.
Disciple in the name of
Patriarch Mao.
Land of the river god,
horror of the river ghost.
In the name of
the the ancestral god.
Eradicate all the evil spirits.
Scripture of Kelly Chen.
Staff of the Dragon
and Horse Spirits.
You've been a bad kid.
Fan... you poor thing.
Are you okay?
To the hospital.
Alright, to the hospital.
Kat.
Let me protect you.

Sixth lash.

Kat.
Master, I beg you.
Kat is a friendly ghost.
She's never hurt anybody.
She's gonna be reincarnated soon.
Please don't kill her, I beg you.
Fong.
Kat.
Why didn't you leave?
I wanna protect you.
I wanna protect this place.
Why are you such a fool?
It's okay, Fong.
We'll play together
in the next life.
Goodbye, you little rascal.
Kat.
Kat.
We haven't seen Kat ever since.
But we'd put down a few pieces of
candy every time.
Just for a peace of mind.
You have to behave.
Grandma's gonna come back soon.
Alright, say goodbye to grandma.
- Bye-bye, grandma.
- Bye-bye.
Bye, mom.
Let's go to bed.
I wanna hear a story.
Alright.
Tenants of the mall
moved out eventually.
This is your story.
Stop asking me
where you came from, okay?
Alright, time for bed.
Goodnight.
I wanna protect you.
