We'll wait for you at home later on

It's a deal. I'll call first

Ok, bye bye

Lam

Sh*t's about to hit the fan!

I saw a ghost!

I saw a ghost!I can see her

About this tall

Wearing a school uniform

Was she really... a ghost?

The same one I bumped into this morning

When she there, the compass moved quickly

Seems like she died from drowning

So those contacts do make you see ghosts!

Mr. Cheung is the coach of a school swim team

The girl is a member of a school swim team.

Hmm...

And she says her boyfriend's

last name is Cheung

Plus they showed up in tandem

No way I'm wrong!

If we confirm they were

talking about the same school

we can connect the dots

There must be some connection

I know which school Mr. Cheung teaches at

Got it! Lots of schools

have websites nowadays

We can check if the girl's uniform matches

Time to go online!

Hello

I-lo

Dinner tonight at seven

In La Bon

Ok

I'm warning you

What happened this morning

Don't ever let it happen again

Even if you see some stuff

just pretend you don't

Or

I'll be out of there in a blink!

Ok

I promise

I promise it won't happen again

See you tonight

Are you high?

My wife

Asks me out for dinner.

Using our son as an excuse

whoopee-do

One happy WWW

Hey, I check the school website

The girl's uniform matches

Mr. Cheung's school

That means they are the same school

Did you check whether there was a girl

Who jumped into the ocean with her uniform on

But wasn't she on the swim team?

Everyone sinks if they put their minds to it

Hold on. So what if there was a suicide?

You were paid to solve the Cheungs' quandary

Didn't you agree to set up some crystal

formation in their apartment?

You sure that works?

What?

All I've been doing was follow my master

But I've never encountered a case this tough

Hold on, Lan

I ain't no exorcist!

I only do what I can

To make my clients think positive

And feel better about themselves

Au-young Fong?

You ex-boyfriend?

Isn't he some big shot TV host

on some fortune-telling show?

Why don't you ask him for advice?

That's the last thing I want to do

Got a dinner date with my wife

I can't help you

I have to go back and listen to my son's CD

Go to check on Website

You really gonna hang me out to dry?

Website

Check whether there was a girl

Who jump into the ocean

with her uniform recently?

I swear I marked it with a star!

Where the hell did it go?

Oh my god!

Do I have to listen to them one by one?

You scared the bejeezus out of me

I announced myself several times!

I'm busy

Anyways, I found something online

You don't have to tell me, I'm busy

I'm busy

deal with it yourself

The night before last,

they found a floater in the harbor

A girl between the age of sixteen and eighteen

In a school uniform

She was rotting

and all gross-looking and stuff

with her eyes pecked out by fish

Today, her classmates held a vigil

on Facebook and posted her photo

Her name is Chen Siu-ting all right

One thing I bet you don't know

The floater's all stuffed up

Stuffed up?

Three-month pregnant

Ting was pregnant

And so is Mrs. Cheung now!

The ghost... she's up to no good!

My conclusion, too. It's horrible

She wants to do something bad

to Mrs. Cheung's fetus

The hell's wrong with you,

cackling like some pervert?

Never had to deal with something this scary

Anyways, I'm going to call Mr. Cheung

to find more clues

Hey, We make the call together

I'm up to here with my own crap

Deal with it yourself

Find more clues and then we'll talk

Hello?

Mr. Cheung? This is Lan from the crystal shop

I just want to confirm your address.

Sixty-six, Spring Breeze Lane. Second floor

So I did have it right

I'll get there around five. ls that okay?

No problem. I'll be home before five

Great

By the way, have something to ask you

It may be too much of a coincidence

The newspaper says they found a school girl

Who'd committed suicide

Was she from your school?

Yes, she was a student here

I see. Was just wondering

See you in a bit

Spreads your arms wider

Wider still

More Strength

Hurry UP

Hurry up! Hurry up!

Are you done so soon?

Wanna slack off?

So?

Back in the pool and give me ten more laps

Look at you

Such a big tummy

Did you eat chocolate?

So what?

Watch out

You'd better mean it

I'll never let go!

Hello?

What are you doing now?

Just home

I'm packing things

Everything okay?

Damnest thing

It's strange

Master Ho's CD seems to work.

I've been listening to it the whole time,

and I do feel more at peace

No more weird energy and icky vibe

I will go home after one more class

Okay. Bye

Where did they come from?

What the hell...

Don't be afraid, Don't be afraid

You don't have to be afraid, Mum is here

Forget it, forget it

Don't... Please leave me alone!

Forget your Dad left you

Don't cry my dear

You could sleep in mum's arm

Mum will hug you tight

And will be forever

He)'

Give me Mr. Cheung's cell number!

I have to ask him if he took

my son's CD by mistake

Let me call him

Hello?

Hello? ls that Mr Cheung?

Hello? It's Master Ho from this morning

Sorry, but did I give you guys a wrong CD?

The one with a star marked on the sleeve?

I can't remember...

Could you please check?

It's important

I'm busy now

Gotta go home

My wife's not answering the phone!

Class's over. Go change

Hello

Thank you

What's up?

He says he doesn't know

Has to go home 'cause his wife

is not answering his call

Are you headed for their place now?

Yes

I'm coming with you,

I want to check if they have my CD

That's great

Let me gather my tools

You know those gadgets don't work anyway,

Hurry up

I called Au-young just now

What did he say?

He says a spirit that has

just passed on is still in limbo

Not yet ready to cross into the Great Beyond

First we have to try persuade her to move on

If she doesn't listen,

Since it's a water ghost,

We need to use fire to dispel her.

Do you think it make sense?

Makes sense or not,

we've got nothing else to go on

I'm taking some fiery crystals

Straight into her heart

Kaput! Done

Hey! It's me

You okay in there?

What's going on, Mr. Cheung

The key doesn't work, I can't open the door

The ghost must be in there

wait a minute

Mr, Cheung, let's cut to the chase

We think you had an affair with a student

and got her pregnant

She jumped into the harbor and killed herself

ls that right?

Is that right?

I saw the girl this morning

She had her left hand balled up in a fist

Why is that?

Think about it

You have any clues

No

What are you listening?

She is listening my CD

Ting?

It's Master Ho

You came to my shop this morning, remember?

I know you're in there

Truth be told, I'm not here for you

Mrs. Cheung took my son's CD by mistake

I'm only here to get it back

What?! You're something else

Shhh

They didn't take it by mistake

Mr. Cheung swiped a couple more CDs

while you were gone

I saw him doing it, The CD means a lot to me

You see, I need it to get back together

Fruit Chan

Fruit Chan Gor (Chinese: 陳果; born 15 April 1959) is a Hong Kong Second Wave screenwriter, filmmaker and producer, who is best known for his style of film reflecting the everyday life of Hong Kong people. He is well known for using amateur actors (such as Sam Lee in Made in Hong Kong, Wong Yau-Nam in Hollywood Hong Kong) in his films. He became a household name after the success of the 1997 film Made in Hong Kong, which earned many local and international awards. Chan was deeply influenced by the era of sixties film in Japan, for the reason that they were not afraid to produce realistic movies that addressed society's problems. In particular, the Japanese director Nagisa Oshima was someone who Chan looked up to and thought of when directing Made in Hong Kong.Chan's credits include Durian Durian. Also, Stanley Kwan stated that he was talking with Lee's family to make a movie about the late action movie icon. Further, in April, Chinese state media announced that its national broadcaster started filming a 40-part TV series on Bruce Lee to promote Chinese culture for the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics. more…
