Rigor Mortis Page #3

Once I perform the ceremony.

I'll burn it.

We have to stay like this forever.

Yes, forever.

When can we go home?

As long as we are together,

anywhere is our home.

Look, it's still here.

Thank you.

Pak, stop playing and eat some food.

It won't snow in Hong Kong, will it?

No, I haven't seen it.

So, will it?

It may.

Mommy said, white is

the most beautiful color in the world.

Is it?

Yes.

Glutinous rice with vegetables!

What's wrong with you people?

Prepping for a funeral?

You all smell like menthol and eucalyptus oil.

We didn't use any.

Iced lemon tea!

Iced lemon tea.

One iced lemon tea, coming right up!

Eat it while it's hot. Okay.

Hey, did all of you get

your clothes repaired by Mui?

Yeah.

Has anyone seen Uncle Tung lately?

Nope. How about you ask Uncle Yin?

Feng told me that some guy killed Tung.

She said that the guy had a lot of kids with him.

Kids? Here?

Feng is nuts. You believe what she says?

The railing on the stairwell

is all bent and screwed up.

Look at this. I found

this tooth beside it.

What? Is there a name on it?

It looks like Tung's gold teeth.

Every night at eleven,

he opens his eyes.

His feet bang the top of the coffin.

As if he wants to jump.

Did you take off the mask?

This is normal.

Don't take off the mask.

Everything will be fine.

How much longer do I need to wait?

Besides the growth of his hair and his nails,

it doesn't seem like anything is happening.

I've been feeding him crows' blood every day.

Should I get some blood from a black dog?

The blood of black dogs is useless.

Trust me, just go home.

Gau, you said that there was another way.

What is it? Please tell me.

What I need is the blood of a virgin.

Do you know how to get it?

Don't draw any attention to yourself,

Tung will come back for sure.

Just remember, never ever take the mask off.

Uncle Yin, what do you want?

Sorry to bother you, Gau.

I received some complaints.

Someone said there are kids

making noises late at night.

I told them, it's impossible. You don't have kids.

It's my responsibility to come by and check.

Well, thanks.

Auntie Mui!

What a surprise to see you.

I went to your place,

but it's been locked the past few days.

I thought you went back to your home town.

How is Tung?

He's fine. Thank you.

Really?

Hey Gau.

I've known you since you were a kid.

You're still messing around with

that black magic sh*t.

Where is Tung?

Pak, are you going to Auntie Mui's apartment?

Hi there Auntie Mui. I haven't

seen you around lately.

Is everything okay?

Everything's fine.

Tung is unwell. I need to take care of him.

He's just getting old. It's nothing.

Take care of him.

Pak!

Don't bother Uncle Tung!

It's alright. He's just a child.

Well, I'm off then.

Auntie Mui, I need to pee.

You really want to go to the bathroom?

Alright then.

I created it.

It started out as an accident.

You always warned me that

my evil ways would be within me.

My final years has been unpleasant.

Terminal stage of lung cancer.

The cigarettes I smoke

are made from ashes of the unborn.

Their yin for my yang. It's the choice I've made.

The smell coming out of Auntie Mui's apartment,

was from the preservatives.

You were in the process of

turning Tung's corpse into a vampire.

The twin ghosts

were needed to bring him back to life.

At eleven every night, you must scatter

a packet of this onto his body.

This will get rid of the smell of rotting flesh.

I will come over tonight.

The twin ghosts are different from

the unborn child.

Two lives as one. They are more potent.

I need a body that was big enough as a vessel

to hold them.

If we didn't use the mask and the oil,

Tung's corpse would have been out of control.

I never thought it would turn out like this.

Iran out of time.

Pak!

Pak!

Pak!

Pak, where are you?

Pak, where are you?

Tung was the body without the spirit.

The twins were the spirits without the body.

I'll prepare a trap in the hallway.

I'll try to attract the vampire with the corpse oil.

Go find Feng.

Be quick!

Pak...

Pak...

The twins have possessed the vampire.

It happened so fast,

they were gone blink of an eye.

Is there any way, you can help me fight?

No! If I do that, you'll f***ing die.

I should have died the first day I was here.

I still owe you my appreciation from that.

We're even now.

Let's give it a try.

Let's hope the corpse oil will attract the vampire.

Once you're inside the trap,

a cigarette is all the time you have.

Once it burns up,

you'll never be able to come back.

It's all on you now.

WATER:

WOOD:

We're running out of time!

Hurry the f*** up!

EARTH:

METAL:

FIRE:

My dear Tung,

let's leave together.

Shall we?

Trimming your toenails again?

Get to work, you burn!

Would you like pork chops, sweetie?

Help, somebody! Help!

Dr. Choy, someone's here to ID the body.

You are...?

I am his son.
