Demon's Path (2018) s01e05 Episode Script

Kwai Lok.
It's okay. We're the police.
-I didn't mean it!
-I know!
I think the culprit is nearby
because many serial killers
have one particular habit.
They like to return
to the crime scene to observe.
-It's him! The one who attacked me!
-What are you doing?
Sito Wing Keung escaped!
Don't run!
EPISODE 5
THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION.
THE FOLLOWING CONTEN
MIGHT CAUSE DISCOMFORT.
Don't let Sito Wing Keung get away!
Stop right there!
Stop, Sito Wing Keung!
-Were you trying to kill me?
-I'm sorry.
Sir, are you okay? Can you walk?
I'm okay.
-Kindness will be repaid.
-Sorry.
Calm down. We understand.
Hand in your gun and take a day off.
Sir, you must save me.
You wouldn't be here
to give me troubles today
if I didn't save you in the past.
I told you not to be rash,
but you never listen.
Do you take yourself for a detective?
I just wanted to catch the bad guy!
Is that wrong?
Dude, you can never catch
all the bad guys.
Do you know the difference
between the police and the criminals?
The former is a job.
It's just an occupation.
The latter is a career.
They work 24 hours a day, fool.
Sir, I really love my job! Help me!
Let go.
Just take this as a lesson.
Leave your pass and gun.
I'll contact you if there's any progress.
We just took Sito Wing Keung's statement.
Let's assume that
he told us the truth for now.
Actually, the whole case
centers around Sito Wing Keung.
From the copied murder
of Ding Kwok Lam on December 16
to the deaths of Lan Chai Tung and Peter,
the threat call from the murderer,
the attack on Wing Keung
and the murder of his daughter,
everything was done by the same person.
I thought Lan Chai Tung died
after being hit by a car.
If this mystery murderer is so capable
that he could lure us
to witness Wing Keung's distress
upon seeing his daughter's horrible death
and recreate the cardboard box murder
one day before his release from jail
to remind us of the past incident,
maybe Lan Chai Tung's death
wasn't even an accident.
So many incidents
took place at the same time.
It's the probability
of hitting the lottery.
Who exactly hates Sito Wing Keung so much?
Why won't he stop
after getting Wing Keung jailed
as his scapegoat for decades?
Why is he doing this to corner him?
Sir, you said that Wing Keung once worked
at an ice cream shop in Happy Valley
and he was known to be a very nice person.
By right, he shouldn't have any enemies.
Could it be done by a worker
from the construction site
behind the ice cream shop?
The murderer who got him jailed
might be one of the workers
from the construction site.
That won't do us any help.
Everyone assumed that
Sito Wing Keung was the murderer.
Let alone their statements,
even the information
of those workers weren't recorded.
It's been over 40 years.
It's hard to find those people.
It's hard, but it's not impossible.
I'll check the information we have
and contact the owner
of that construction site
to see if he has their contact numbers.
If we can find one,
we can easily find the others.
But serial killers normally have
this common characteristic.
They have their own styles
in committing crimes.
If you say that two murders
were done by the same person,
it does make sense.
But why didn't he use a box too
when he killed Peter?
Maybe
Maybe that cardboard box is too rare.
After killing Wing Keung's daughter
and Yik Sam's girl
And Ding Kwok Lam,
he ran out of cardboard boxes.
That can't be the case.
If I were the murderer,
I won't kill unless I have
the same cardboard box.
Yik Sam.
Yik Sam.
What's the matter?
Nothing.
Could it be that
killing Peter wasn't his plan?
I actually think
it's because Peter is a man.
This murderer has many rituals
for killing women.
He cuts off the nipples,
burns the pubic area
and keeps them in a cardboard box.
-But for men--
-That means
he killed Peter to confuse us.
So he copied the method
of the flower trough double murder
in Elizabeth House
to make us assume that
the murderer is another person?
Or maybe the murderer
is really another person.
Maybe the murderer isn't alone.
Maybe he has an accomplice.
Or maybe Sito Wing Keung
offended too many people
and made different enemies.
Madam Kok, do you have
any grounds for that?
Number 5893, Yu Yik Yan.
Back in school, many of the higher-ups
thought you would join
Department of Crime and Security.
But you got hurt in an operation
and after your discharge,
you applied to go to the evidence room.
You even rejected promotion twice.
Many people said we're alike.
But now that I've seen you,
I realized we're not alike at all.
At least we're very different
in terms of deduction ability
and intelligence.
Information is dead
but people are living beings.
I trust intuition more than data.
Data is the conclusion
of behavior and experience.
Data is everything.
Relying on intuition is like
relying on your sense of smell.
Should I help you to apply
for the canine team?
I'm still young.
I have a lot of youth to waste.
Anyone wants coffee?
-No.
-No.
Sir Ma, the higher-ups
have issued an order.
From now on, my team
will be in charge of this case.
We're doing okay.
Why did they suddenly--
Instead of solving the case,
you allowed the case to aggravate.
This morning, the chief called personally
to ask us when we can arrest the murderer.
Please be cooperative
and hand me all the information.
What are you doing?
We worked so hard
and finally found some clues.
You guys are cheating here.
Cheating?
Since your team can't handle this,
we'll take over.
-What did you say?
-This is not right.
Stop!
If Madam Kok wants it, let her have it.
We don't need to trouble
Madam Kok's team members to carry it.
Madam Kok, if you want it,
let me sort things out
and send it
to your office immediately, okay?
-Sir.
-Sir Ma.
My team isn't so lazy.
I want to read the documents now
and arrest the murderer immediately.
If you won't give it to me, no problem.
I'll get another person to take it.
Come in now.
Lok, what's going on?
I still want to be a police officer.
Sir Ma, I'll hand you
the application to transfer later.
-You don't mind, right?
-Of course I don't mind.
I'm so glad you went to Madam Kok's team.
What?
Your hand is on the files.
Please remove your hand.
You worked hard for this!
Why do you have to do this?
You traitor!
Please make way!
Fine.
Don't you come back again, scoundrel!
And I thought officers
value loyalty and brotherhood.
-Wait!
-What's the matter, Sir Ma?
Boy, from now on,
there won't be anyone nagging you.
When you work,
don't be reckless.
This is just your job.
Come back anytime
if you're unhappy over there.
I'll always welcome you.
Thank you, sir.
I'm going back to the evidence room.
You're leaving too?
What do you mean?
Didn't you run away too back then?
I don't want to argue with you.
Even if I want to investigate,
I don't have any information anymore.
So there's nothing I can do.
Since they won't let us investigate
as police officers,
let's use other methods.
We usually do it in the autopsy room.
Why did you bring her to our temple?
Because it's the peak period
and the number of deaths is high.
So we want to save you the hassle
and brought the body here.
Sir Ma said that
you can't take corpses away.
By right, we can't.
But we know
you don't get along with Dr. Ho.
So to avoid conflict, we made an exception
and made a special arrangement.
Just say it if you want to see me.
You didn't have to bring a corpse over.
Do you know the valuation of this temple
is over 100 million dollars?
My mom says if I find a good girl,
I should get married quickly.
I prefer to send my kids
to an international school.
Should we start now?
Okay. If you ask,
I'll surely do it for you.
Come forth,
powers of the heaven and earth.
I, Chow Chu Kei, humbly borrow your power.
Calm down.
Come forth,
powers of the heaven and earth.
I, Chow Chu Kei, humbly borrow your power.
Why isn't it working?
Don't worry.
Maybe she's just too severely dead.
It worked before this.
The ritual is exactly the same.
Why doesn't it work this time?
Is it because the place is different?
Is it because Dr. Ho isn't here?
No way. Will I be weaker
without that stupid fellow?
Masters like us
won't be affected by others.
Let me check.
Glutinous rice?
Isn't this for capturing zombies?
That's not the only thing
we can use it for. Just watch.
Now we know the reason. She's unresigned.
If the dead is unresigned,
the glutinous rice will bounce.
What will happen if she's unresigned?
How did she die?
She was tortured
and killed by someone she knew.
-No wonder.
-No wonder what?
She's clearly a grudgeful spirit.
So she wants to stay in the mortal realm
to see what she wants to see the most.
-No wonder my spell didn't work.
-Where is she now?
I think she went to see
the person she wants to see
or the place she yearns for.
Is there someone
she doesn't want to leave?
That's none of your business.
It's her again.
Can't she give us a break?
You stole the corpse
when you can't investigate.
Arrest them all.
Yes, arrest them all.
I have nothing to do with this!
-I didn't steal the corpse!
-Move!
Hey!
Hey, wake up.
Why wake me up when nothing is going on?
You can only wake me up
under two conditions,
when there's a discovery
or when it's time to go home.
Where are you going?
I'm going to pee.
Do I need your permission for that too?
Watch closely.
The lights in the target's house
is turned on.
Come back.
I'll go up first.
You can go back now.
I can manage on my own.
Mentor, I'll stay with you
a little longer.
I'm worried
What are you worried about?
I have nothing to offer.
You can go back now.
By the way, you need to be careful.
The murderer might--
Why?
He kidnapped my wife and kids.
He said if I don't hand you over, he'll
Who is he?
Don't worry.
He promised me that he won't hurt you.
Once I hand you over
and delete the website,
he'll release my wife and kids.
Please bear with it for a while.
He'll be coming to get you soon.
Something is going on.
Boy, from now on,
there won't be anyone nagging you.
Don't be reckless.
Keep this in mind. This is just your job.
Answer my call, quickly.
Sang. Stupid brat, calm down.
Can you hear me?
I'm outside of Sito Wing Keung's house.
Tell sir. Calm down.
Tell him I discovered something.
Do you hear me?
Hello.
Sito Wing Keung!
Sito Wing Keung! Are you okay?
Sito Wing Keung.
I'll call the ambulance for you.
What are you saying?
Hang in there.
Hey!
Sito Wing Keung.
Hey, I found Sito Wing Keung.
Lok!
Hang on!
Don't worry. This isn't a movie.
You're paranoid.
What are you doing?
I repeat.
Don't disturb me.
Hey.
I'm begging you nicely.
There's no harm in helping us.
Must you be so cold?
Because of you all,
Madam Kok passed the corpse
of Wing Keung's daughter to another person
when I was supposed
to be the one in charge.
I know you're dissatisfied like me.
Although I know you don't like me
and I don't like you either,
Madam Kok is our common enemy now.
She stole the case from us
and wouldn't let anyone interfere.
Don't you want to know
who killed Wing Keung's daughter?
I'm not the murderer.
Why do I need to know?
I believe you want to know
what she saw and what pain
she went through before death.
I believe you remember
that she died after being tortured
by a crazy murderer for an hour.
One whole hour.
Even if I'm a little interested,
what can I do
when I don't have the corpse?
Okay. It'll do as long as
you're interested.
-Say it.
-Say what?
-Say you want it.
-Want what?
Join us. Say it.
No way.
Wait. You don't have to say it.
It'll do as long as
you're willing to help.
He agreed. Come in.
What are you doing?
Cut my wrist.
Why would you cut your own wrist?
I'd rather die than work with him.
Cutting my wrist is the more moderate
and reasonable method in this situation.
-Give it to me.
-Wait a minute.
What's the big deal with cooperating once?
Do you have to kill yourself for that?
It's this big.
For me, it's this big.
This much.
This much.
-This much.
-Enough. Stop.
I think we have it worse.
Why do you hate him so much?
He's always acting like Dr. Black Jack.
I don't get it.
Why do you hate him?
Do you expect me to accept
an unscientific folk belief as science?
Is that okay?
Look.
You think forensic science
is the most reliable one.
You think supernatural power is the best.
Why don't you take this chance to compete
and see who's the best?
Come on.
Okay.
I can play with you
and even lend you the tools.
But what can we do without the corpse?
-I found her.
-Where's my mom?
-Can I leave after the examination?
-A bad guy killed your mom.
We need your help now.
I'm very busy. Where's the body?
Her body has been confiscated.
That's why we need your help.
What do you want me to do?
Your mom died horribly.
She became a grudgeful spirit
that lingers in this realm.
You're the one she wants to see.
You must be kidding me.
My mom doesn't love me.
She would never stop scolding me.
If she didn't slap me
and tell me to leave,
I wouldn't leave home.
Come, let me show you something.
Are you crazy?
If I go blind,
you have to take responsibility.
Mom?
You're really here.
Your mom chose to stay with you
instead of her dad, Sito Wing Keung,
because to her,
you're the one she treasures the most.
Mom, I'm sorry.
I didn't know.
Mom.
Why aren't you saying anything?
Why do you look so awful?
Because she's holding a grudge.
So we need to borrow your body,
so that she can tell us who killed her
and let us capture the murderer for her.
Where are you going?
Since you can find the murderer
by letting the mom possess the daughter,
you don't need my help at all.
I have faith that we can find
the murderer through this.
But I don't have enough power.
Lend me a hand.
Let me put it in the terms
of your academic field.
If you fail, maybe it's fate.
You don't have to be stubborn.
I don't know what made you so selfish.
No one dies voluntarily.
All deceased have wishes.
Maybe you look down on people like me.
But we can at least
fulfill people's wishes for them.
Dr. Ho, you've dissected
so many corpses in your life.
Have you ever shed a tear for a corpse?
What makes you think I haven't?
I've never used this
on two living people before.
You have to bear
the consequences on your own.
Your compatibility isn't as high as mine.
My success rate will be higher
compared to the two of you.
Move.
You're so manly, Dr. Ho.
-Get ready.
-Get ready.
Come forth,
powers of the heaven and earth.
I, Chow Chu Kei, humbly borrow your power.
What's going on?
-How dare you!
-It hurts!
You followed me! How dare you!
It isn't working.
It's different from last time.
They can't sync.
-Switch off the button.
-No.
Her mom's soul is entering her body now.
I've never tried so hard.
I'm going to do this with all my power.
Come forth,
powers of the heaven and earth.
I, Chow Chu Kei, humbly borrow your power.
Hang in there. It's working.
