Dinner's ready, folks.
Our guests shall start first.
Make yourselves at home, friends.
Keep the light on, or there'll be trouble.
Good, it'll keep them in order.
No way to get them.
Dinner's ready.
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8.
8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1.
Right, all here.
It's over. Don't be scared, it's me.
Look at you, so frightened.
Come out, it is me.
Master. Help.
- Master. - what's the matter?
Inside.
Go.
Master, it's me.
You have over done it.
Cracking all up.
Take a rest, let me try.
Let me try.
They are inhuman.
Denture? You bit me for helping you?
Give some help.
Tease around with my customers?
It's not me.
Say no more, I'm leaving.
Stay for two more days, please.
I'm going, see you.
Going on the road, friends?
why don't you go home? It's late.
Or your aunt will come for you. Go.
I'll give you a hand, sir.
How's the business?
- Good morning. - Good morning.
All dress up, for what occasion.
Master takes me for English tea.
Hurry up.
Can I not go with you to see Mr. Yam?
why? Are you afraid of him.
No, I don't even know him.
But I've never been to English tea.
I might do something embarrassing.
Good, so considerate.
You don't have to go then.
I've never been to English tea, either.
I might do something wrong too.
I'll take MAN CHOR with me still.
I'll let him try things first.
MAN CHOR.
I'm here, I'm here.
You want to see me, Master?
I'll take you to English Tea, you're smart.
Oh, good.
Let's go.
Reservation?
No.
why, hasn't Mr. Yam booked a table?
Mr. Yam, oh, please follow me.
Please.
- Please sit down. - Mr. Yam.
- Please. - Greet Mr. Yam.
Mr. Yam, sir.
Please.
Your daughter is back from the city. why didn't you bring her along.
She's been around showing her new trade.
She's learned make-up in the city.
Make-up wouldn't help too much, having you for a father.
My daughter's coming.
Papa.
Uncle Kow is here.
Uncle Kow.
Such big girl now. Sit down, please.
Yes, very big.
what would you like?
I'd like a coffee.
Coffee.
I'll have coffee too.
Me too.
what would you like, Master?
- I have coffee too. - Good.
I don't want coffee, Master.
I'll have coffee too, OK?
Stick to what you've order.
About the reburial of my father...
Have you pick a proper date yet?
Think twice before you do it.
I have considered it thoroughly.
A fortune teller foretold it 20 years ago.
It'll bring us good fortune.
Don't take it too seriously.
And I'm to take you seriously.
Of course.
You have no right to speak here, kid.
well then, we'll do it in 3 days time.
what should we prepare?
Money.
How much?
Doesn't matter, doesn't matter.
Mr. Yam, Mr. Wong is here, over there.
I've to say hello to a friend, excuse me.
Serve them some custard tarts.
Alright.
A black and a white, which one first?
Let's watch what others do.
Drink it while it is not.
Alright.
You like it black?
Yes, I like it black.
I'll put cream in yours, Papa.
Alright.
Come.
I'd like to buy some cosmetics.
Go ahead, I'll meet you later.
Come, come, please.
- Have one. - I'll have one.
Help yourself.
Behave yourself.
Mr. Yam, how much sugar.
No, no thanks.
You like it unsweetened.
Too sweet, Master.
Take it like candies.
I'm going grocery shopping.
A girl from across will come.
Treat her nicely even she's a whore.
Alright, go do your shopping.
I know what to do.
where can I buy some cosmetics?
So pretty, only if she's my wife.
Help yourself, Miss.
My aunt said you'd come.
who's she?
The one you just talked to.
I just asked one question. I don't know her.
Stop pretending.
So you don't know my auntie.
Try this one, not bad.
when did you start?
You mean learning this.
All the same.
My mother started to teach me when I was 12.
Your mother taught you?
She died early, so I went to the city.
Nice color.
Yes, how old are you?
That's 6 years. Ever thought of stopping?
No, if I live to be 80, I still do it.
Are you being forced.
It is my hobby, I'm not forced.
All girls like it.
Ever thought of retiring.
No. I must teach all I've learned.
To the girls here.
They'll be so happy.
Don't lead them astray.
You're too conservative.
It's morality.
I'm not doing business with you.
Please return to YEE HUNG garden.
what about YEE HUNG garden?
So you're here.
why are you so angry.
- You've been to YEE HUNG garden? - No.
How did you know her?
She's Mr. Yam's daughter.
From the city.
what about YEE HUNG garden?
It's a tea house.
what?
- Restaurant. - Whor...
what did you say?
whore house.
You thought...
Miss, I...
TING TING...
I'm going first, Papa.
TING TING...
- Mr. Yam. - TING TING.
what's the matter?
Bastard!
Pray with all sincerity.
This is a rare spot.
A good plot.
It's called the Dragon Fly plot.
3.4 yards wide, only 4 feet usable.
1.3 yards wide, only 3 feet usable.
Can't use the right way, use the straight way.
Fantastic.
what's the straight way.
Something foreign.
Shut up.
The ritual's over, can we start?
- Yes. - Let's start.
what's the straight way, master?
That burying the coffin vertically, right?
The fortune teller once said.
Straight ancestors, rich posterity.
Is that true?
Our family business is getting worse.
For no good reasons.
That fortune teller is up to no good.
why?
Did master have any dispute with him before?
This plot used to be his.
My father bought it from him.
with force?
Must be with force.
He gave you all the wrong suggestions?
what shall we do?
All these dragon fly stuff.
He mixed it all up.
At least he suggested a reburial.
He's only ruined half of your life.
And ruined one generation, not more.
It's in sight.
Loosen the rope, pull out the nails.
The Yam's seeing the sun again.
All those age 36, 22, 35 and 48.
And those of the sign Cock and Cow, turn around.
And straighten up your clothes afterwards. Open up.
- Dad. - Grandpa.
Sorry Dad, my responsibility.
Can we still use this plot?
Not quite.
The plot is useless now.
what to do with it?
I suggest cremation right here.
But my dad feared fire.
I can't agree.
But there might be troubles otherwise.
whatever else but cremation.
Can't you think of something else?
Alright, take it to our mortuary first.
I'll find him a plot tomorrow.
Put on the cover and move.
Go home first Mr. Yam.
You two layout a "Flower incense" configuration.
And report to me.
Put incense on each grave.
what a pity to die so young.
Thank you.
Look. How come?
Go tell Master.
Two short, one long.
It's an omen.
Someone's dying at home.
Mr. Yam's home?
Or here?
Not our business then.
But Yam's daughter, will she be alright?
All the Yams.
Oh. TING TING.
But you said it wasn't our business.
But then if she's the one you love.
Marriage will save it.
Fair competition.
Alright.
Please, Master, think hard.
Yes, master.
I know what to do.
Something wrong with the coffin.
Not the coffin.
It's the corpse.
Yes, something fishy.
Yes, still good after 20 years.
wow, fattening up.
Cover it up, hurry.
Prepare some paper, brushes, ink, sword and knife.
what?
Yellow paper, red brush, black ink, chopper, wooden sword.
Master, how about chicken?
Chicken...
Take it.
what's that.
Ink pot.
Master, where to.
Over the coffin.
All over the coffin.
There're good man and bad man.
There're corpse and dead body.
There're man and woman.
Shut up, you.
This one is turning into a walking corpse.
How?
why man turns bad.
Because he has no air.
A corpse turns into a walking one for a breath of air.
what does that mean?
A dying might feel choked up,
when he died there's a lump in his throat.
That's a non-breathless death.
Like I said, man must have air.
A corpse must be breathless.
Or it'll become mischievous.
Can't you stop yapping?
Tell me when you're finish, don't miss any.
O.K. done.
Look, there.
- And... - where?
Here.
Dirty rat.
- Here. - Don't run away.
Stop... Master.
Trick me?
Hold it.
Master.
Are you leaving me?
It's your fault.
Don't go, it's late. You might run into a ghost.
Better than running into Master.
Her piercing look, her piercing look.
Shining bright like the stars.
Sure enough to make one chokes.
Her piercing look, her piercing look.
Shining bright like the stars.
Sure enough to make one chokes.
Cold wind drifts along the moonlit alley.
The lady ghost looks for a lover.
who would take a bride so shady.
To pledge under the moon while the heart flutter.
Her piercing look, her piercing look.
Shining bright like the stars.
Sure enough to make one chokes.
Her piercing look, her piercing look.
Shining bright like the stars.
Sure enough to make one chokes.
The moon will hide beyond the sky.
Such sleeper, good for a mortuary watcher.
Tea.
Wai, any tough cases at the station.
Not much. My men have taken care of them.
Cousin TING TING is a big girl now.
Yes, quite.
Should find her a husband.
Yes...
So I think...
Let's have tea.
Sir, the master is here.
- Please ask him in. - Mr. Yam.
How about my dad's coffin.
It's a comfort.
- Let's talk in my desk. - OK...
Behave yourselves here.
Uncle, I still think...
Let's talk later.
Sorry about last time Miss Yam.
what are you up to, you two.
Don't get near my cousin.
Cousin.
My cousin don't want to see you.
Is that right?
It's our fault, we shouldn't wander around.
Grey hair, sign of oldness.
Is it yours?
No, of course not.
You should understand what I just told uncle.
we grow up together.
Though you at your own home, I at mine.
But we're childhood playmates, right?
I haven't even touched your hand.
I'm not as rude as those two.
Swallow it.
Me.
You pull it out.
Swallow it and you two become one.
Then you can do whatever you want.
Alright? Try snap yourself.
what if he hit himself?
who would hit himself?
Don't stop.
what are you doing?
Go ahead.
It hurts.
I'll give you a hand.
Cousin, let go.
Cousin.
I'm so rude, I should be punished.
There are people who would hit himself.
I don't want to play any more.
why not, we'll fix him.
Let's fix him up again.
Get up.
Take off your clothes.
How can I?
He'll take off his clothes inside, too.
In front of TING TING too.
Right.
Cousin.
Don't...
Papa.
Hey kid.
Making troubles, out.
Wai.
Uncle, I'd like some tea.
5, 8, 4, 10.
A murder at Yam's house.
Uncle's dead, but there's me.
Hey, don't move.
Hurry back to the mortuary.
Old Mr. Yam's corpse is there still? Hurry up!
Mr. Wai, Mr. Yam was killed by which weapon?
By a gun, of course.
Every shot hits the neck.
The murderer is an unusually skillful.
Good at throwing darts.
He killed Mr. Yam with 9 of them.
where are the darts?
Don't interrupt my investigation.
Tell me how he was murdered then?
Stabbed by finger nails.
So the one with long nails is a murderer.
Folks, who's got longer nails then he?
You can't just frame anybody.
But you have the longest nails in the village.
You are a suspect.
- Come. - Yes.
- Arrest him. - Yes.
we've got the suspect, cousin.
I'll avenge uncle's death for you.
Cousin, you must be sure.
Of course...
- Come... - Yes...
- Come, take Mr. Yam's body back. - Yes.
I'll let you face him everyday.
- You'll talk. - Yes.
- Master, coffin... - Disintegrated.
- The corpse... - Gone.
Master...
Arrested.
Don't move.
Captain, can I talk with them?
Say your last words now.
Have you searched everywhere?
Yes, even the other coffins, nothing.
Things going to happen tonight.
I know, you'll be in jail tonight.
No. I've noticed two walking corpses.
Two?
Yam was killed by a corpse. He'll turn into one.
Father and son together.
Finish yet?
Almost.
CHOR, come to me with a few men tonight.
MAN, you take care of TING TING.
How?
Hold your breath when you see the corpse.
Hold my breath?
Do I have to prepare anything?
Chicken blood, ink pot, yellow paper, all of them.
Enough...
Miss Yam, take it easy.
And sticky rice.
Remember the sticky rice.
I'll avenge my uncle's death.
why did you kill him?
why should I?
Stubborn...
You know this words?
Don't be rash.
why can't I?
I burnt a bad guy with such word before.
The skin wrinkled all up.
This one had less strokes and clearer.
But it is as painful, come.
- Come. - Yes.
- Hold this. - Yes.
This is the word "Villainous".
If you don't want to be like this,
confess before dawn.
If...
If you don't let me out before dawn,
you take up the consequences.
So stubborn still.
Guards, take him down.
Yes.
Uncle, you'll rest in peace.
I will revenge for you.
The confession before dawn.
what are you standing here for?
I'm waiting for you to hide your head.
why?
You'll be embarrassed, I'm afraid.
Nonsense, help me put the head back.
Use your head.
Don't blame me for whatever I'll do.
O.K. Hurry.
O.K.
what's the matter?
why are you taking off my pants?
It's going back isn't it?
You stupid kid.
You said not to blame me.
where are the stuff?
All here.
Chicken blood, ink, yellow paper, ink pot.
Sticky rice?
Yes, still hot.
Eat now, before it cools off.
I want raw ones, not cooked.
They are to protect him from the corpse's sting.
Now what? Can't we feed him.
It's moving, master.
Hurry, stick the paper on his head.
He's gone.
Get him hurry.
Go.
Hurry.
what's up? what's happening?
Go look.
It's only uncle.
- Fix the bed. - Yes.
Uncle, lucky I'm here in time.
Or else they'll be torturing you.
Captain, the bed is fixed.
- Take him back. - Yes.
Go out and locked the door.
Don't open it no matter what.
Yes.
watch out, uncle.
Don't tear off the paper.
Don't hide, be a target.
Your back.
My back? It's my uncle.
Uncle...
He's turned into a walking corpse.
Move.

Kneel down.
Open up, open up.
I won't open no matter what.
I'm your Captain, open up.
Hurry...

Help.
Throw me the key.
Catch.

Help, help.
Help.
Ink pot.
Open up.
wooden sword.
It's dawning, he won't come.
Go get some sleep now.
No, who's going to protect you.

It's my greatest creation.
But it's useless now.
Beautiful.
Don't be scared. I'll protect you.
Easy now.
Can't take it.
Get a rope and tie your grandpa up.
I can even sing now.
Hurry.
Master...
Ink pot.
MAN, help.
MAN.
Jump down.
Go, go after him.
why don't you go after him?
Scared, dummies.
He's lucky, or I'd have shot him.
- Anybody hurt? - No.
MAN's hurt, will he turn into a corpse.
May be.
Get away, let me shoot him.
I said may be, we can save him still.
How?
what do we do?
Use sticky rice, it'll clean up the poison.
And protect him from the corpse.
Sticky rice?
Stay at my place TING TING.
Good.
MAN.
Feeling good, I'll be alright.
I wasn't worry.
Aren't you afraid I'll turn into a corpse.
Of course.
Your chest hurt?
No.
Sure, so stiff, how could it hurt.
Master, don't scare me.
Scare you?
Look, don't feel anything.
How come?
The poison will spread in 2 days.
You'll feel nothing even cutting you up.
what to do?
- Move. - Move what?
Arms and legs, everything. Don't stop.
what if I stop?
The blood will block up.
And then?
The blood will turn solid and hard.
So what's after hard?
Hard is stiff, stiff is hard.
So it become stiff and then?
Stiff as a corpse, I couldn't do nothing then.
what am I to do?
what to do?
Get up and move.
Hurry.
Get some sticky rice and spill them on the bed.
TING, please cook some sticky rice soup for him.
Don't let any smoke get into the rice.
Otherwise, it's useless.
Master, just these rice.
Go buy some later.
Take off your shoes and hop on the bed.
Hop on the bed?
If the poison gets to your feet, it'll be hopeless.
what's the sticky rice for?
To transfer the poison.
It hurts the feet.
Sweep them away if you don't like it.
I like it...
Go buy some more sticky rice.
How about just ordinary rice?
Sure, if you want him dead.
Good.
You silly.
Come down...
You want me killed.
Come down...
Hurry, jump.
I'll jump.
Stupid, it's all over the ground.
So careless, you stupid.
Pick then up for me.
How? Show me.
Sweep them up then.
How come I have such stupid son, I'm so smart.
You blaming me?
No.
He's been working non-stop.
Strange.
People from next village are here, too.
They are haunted by a walking corpse.
Someone said that sticky rice is a remedy.
Sticky rice is for the stomach.
How can it stop the corpse?
who cares, as long as business is good.
we'll be running out of stock.
Stupid, mix it with ordinary rice then.
Yes, no one will know.
Someone's coming.
Sir.
want some rice, sir?
Of course, stupid question.
But we sell everything.
Everything that carries rice.
And then noodles, rice cakes, rice pudding.
All that are edible.
And also rice scum, rice bugs, rice for pigs.
Anything to do with rice we have.
Anything.
Including what's after eating rice?
Yes, my boss's costs more.
Mine costs less.
Since we eat different qualities of rice.
More or less the same, good for fertilizer.
How much do you want?
Cut the nonsense, I want lots of sticky rice.
Sure, get a bag.
O.K. Let me.
I want pure sticky rice.
Of course.
SHIU, all sticky rice.
Give me the best for 50 lbs.
Give him 30 lbs of ordinary rice.

Anything to eat, I'm hungry.
Hungry, how about rice cake?
It's good, try it.
And rice biscuit, never had it before?
How's it?
Not bad.
Not bad, how much?
Five dollars.
Thanks.
All here, dad.
wow, it's heavy.
we never cheat.
How come it's so huge, any other rice.
Yes, you said 30 lbs.
How much sticky rice?
You said 50 lbs.
That's 80 lbs.
No, I gave him only 45 lbs of sticky rice.
45 lbs sticky rice and 30 lbs others.
wrong, it's 75 lbs.
You dummy.
1st hour of the night.
You scared me Miss.
Are you alright?
Can you do me a favor.

Simple, flirt with me.

Yes, quick, flirt with me.
You horny bitch, no way.
No way.
Help...
what a bastard.
Help.
Miss.
You scum, right under the sun.
No, right in the open...
- But she... - No need to explain.
Are you alright, Miss.
I'm afraid.
Don't be afraid, I'll take you home.
I live here.
wait, I've got to get something.
Come out people in the house, someone's hurt.
My folks live in the city.
Just you and me in the house.
It's fate.
what's that?
Nothing, nothing, watch out.
Sit down.
How should I thank you.
You think about it.
There is this standard reward between a man and a woman.
How's that.
Let's suppose
that I took another road, so I wouldn't have saved you.
Now such coincidence is fate.
Say if I weren't a consciences man,
I wouldn't have saved you.
Such action is courage.
And if I weren't such tender fellow.
I wouldn't have walked you home.
Such action is love.
There is love, courage and fate.
Tell me what you would do for me.
Physical love, right?
That's the standard.
Please wait here for a while.
So easy. Only two possibilities.
Either I'm dreaming or she's a ghost.
I was just kidding then, Miss.
I'm not such kind of a guy.
I've got to go.
we'll see each other if there is fate.
Only a miracle will make me stay.
It is a miracle.
weather's changing.
Such heavy rain, you'll get wet.
If you must go, have a drink first.
Alright, don't see any harm.
Please.
Thanks.
Rain has stopped, I must go.
MAN, get up.
Can't let Uncle Kow knows you're sleeping.
He will hit you again.
Do I see right?
It's over, turning into a corpse now.
He'll shoot me if he knows.
I must work hard.
To go on forever even as a corpse.
How come?
So early, Captain.
The elders are worrying about MAN.
They send me here to take a look.
Help yourself.
MAN.
Coming.
Take a good look now.
where have you been last night?
Just to the next village.
what did you do?
when I was coming back,
there was a thunder storm.
I went into house to keep the rice dry.
I was on patrol, there wasn't any rain.
Yes, no raining last night.
I'm hungry, who so late.
Don't stop.
were you with someone in the house?
what's happening?
Is MAN incurable?
No, anything else?
I want to catch the corpse with you.
He got hit by the ink, couldn't move.
Go now if you want to catch him.
where?
To the darkest place.
Go now.
I can't, I'm watching them.
watching them?
Right, go now? He's fierce at night.
Are you scare?
- Scare? Let's go. - Yes.
- Go. - Yes...
Captain, the corpse won't come out in such weather.
wrong, this is the right kind of weather.
Split up and search, hurry.
It's a cave, Captain.
You two go in and take a look.
Us?
what if the corpse is inside?
we are behind you, go.
Help.
Hold it.
what did he see?
A lady ghost.
Troubles?
No, he had it better then MAN.
Must be a lusty ghost.
It's dark, how long have I been sleeping?
You've slept for a day.
Auntie must be mad at me for not working.
You remember auntie.
what else do I have to do?
Just don't give me any more troubles.
Hey, are you alright.
I'm alright.
I'm going, master.
O.K. go ahead.
TING, watch MAN for me, I'm going for a while.
JADE.
Don't come near, what's on you.
My master's writing, protect me from ghost.
Rub it off.
Don't, dummy.
JADE...
Let me look at you.
I'll rub it for you.
Help me, CHOU.
Bullying my girl.
CHOU.
I'll untie it for you.
No, CHOU, are you crazy.
Bribe me? No way.
Good fellow.
How come? Am I dreaming?
No, you've been haunted.
I know, lucky for me.
If I don't get you out,
you'll be dead of exhaustion, lucky?
Yes, such tender love.
If I knew she is a ghost sooner, nothing would have happened.
You stupid.
Look at you two. One is poisoned,
the other is haunted.
what luck that I have you two.
I'm 80% recovered.
I'm 80% haunted.
Crazy talk.
You're both 80% dead.
what to do?
we'll get rid of her when she comes.
Have some tea.
Thanks, hide inside the room.
Don't come out, no matter what.
Are you asleep.

You won't help me then?
I'm here, ain't?

No.
CHOU...
Untie me, please.
CHOU.
CHOU, help me.

Don't...
MAN.
Help, master, help.
I'm helping you.
Let me out or I'll die.
Cool down, be patient.
Don't be afraid, Master's coming.
- Master. - watch out behind you.
CHOU.
Don't look at her eyes.
Go.
Stand still.
JADE.
Master, don't.
She's saved me once, no matter.
She'll be damned forever.
You two are from different worlds.
Your world only do him bad.
Let her go, Master.
But will she let you go?
You watch out.
Still another one.
The sticky rice have no effects.
They've been mixed with other rice.
Open up wider.
It's coming along, soon.
Be patient.
How do you feel.
I'm fine, I'm alright.
Really?
It's alright if you can feel the hurt.
The corpse shows up again.
Master, just then...
Say no more, my gears.
Lock the door, keep an eye on TING TING.
Hurry up.
The work of the corpse.
what to do now?
Carry him over your place.
No good.
I'm afraid after last time.
Burn it with Li Chee branches then.
Come, take it for burning.
Yes.
All ready.
Start the fire.
Hurry up, light up.
Open up, why locked the door?
See the door is strong enough, are you scare?
Of course.
So gutless, we're protected from every side.
Not even a fly can get it.
Master's back, open the door.
Hurry.
Are you crazy, what if the corpse is here?
Open up...
Master's back, open the door quickly.
Master...
Quiet.
Get my peach-wood sword.
Close the door, don't come out.
Lock the door.
Hey, safe enough?
It's all sealed up, right?
That's why it's so hot in here.
Alright, there's a skylight.
- That's better. - Skylight?
Damn.
- Come, I'll carry you up. - Good.
It was closed, how come it's open now?
Don't tell me that, look closer.
MAN.
Open up.
Open up, open up.
You like me, have some chicken...
Uncle Kow.
Help.
Master.
Master, he can see.
Get his eyes.
Run.
What's the matter, it's alright.
Walking corpse.
Go.
Come over, hurry.
Get up.
Suck out the corpse sting, hurry.
Hurry, suck.
Let me.
No, my customers.
All finished.
