Fourth of September (九月四日)

Hello everyone, thank you for tuning in to Spot News. My name is Jhang Ruo Yi.

Today is September 4th, the 97th year of the Republic of China,

Thursday the 5th of August on the Lunar Calendar.

In broadcasting news headlines.

The Council of Labor affairs issued the latest unemployment statistics.

Taiwan has been affected by the global financial turmoil.

Last month, the unemployment rate reached 4.64%.

and more than 507,000 people became unemployed.

Setting a new term record, the statistics show a five year high.

Ever since the Ma Government took office on May 20th,

Taiwanese stocks have dropped from 9,200 points

to 6,560 points. Way below the 10-year line. They are expected to reach a low of 4,000.

The government has taken various measures

to prevent drastic fluctuations in the stock market

from affecting the buoyancy of the economy.

Today, the convective cloud band is developing rapidly.

The Weather Bureau will focus on North of Kaohsiung...

How much do you actually owe them?

The company owes them, not me.

Aren't you the person in charge?

Doesn't it mean that you owe them?

Besides,

what are they... What are you doing anyway?

It's none of your business.

Something drastic like that just happened to you.

We're not prepared for it...

Jhang Jia Hong keeps bugging me about his toy.

His name is Le Le.

Mommy! I want to go home and get Le Le!

What should we do now?

We've already driven all the way here.

Are we going to head back now?

We are a family.

We should do everything together.

Wait for me in the car.

Are you Mr. Zhang?

Yes, yes.

I'm the one Mr. Chen mentioned.

Yes, Mr. Chen told me about you on the phone.

Let me show you this... this one, this is the key to the front door.

All the other keys, I put labels on all of them to show you which one opens each door.

- Okay. - You can identify them clearly.

- Okay. - Okay.

There are some home appliances and furniture already in the house.

Just go ahead and use them.

They were left by the previous tenant.

You can toss them out if you don't like them. That's fine too.

Toss them out.

But wait...

Mr. Chen told me I didn't have to pay the rent.

But I never thought there would be free furniture too.

Would that be too...

No, it's all right.

About that, if you have rent money for me, I'd certainly be happy.

But... that's all right. Just stay there first.

We'll talk about the rent if you decide to stay.

All right?

Then, pardon my intrusive question.

Did something happen... in this house?

I won't lie to you.

You can find it on the internet too.

It's true. But I already took care of everything.

It happened a decade ago.

There are no problems now.

Yes, it's all good.

I don't believe in superstitions and stuff anyway.

Here you go.

That's right. That's right.

Is it much bigger than our house in Taipei?

Yes, it's so big.

- Let's go inside. - Okay!

How long are we planning to stay?

Forget it. Just pretend I didn't ask.

Be careful.

It's better than I imagined.

There's an upstairs. Let's go check it out.

Wait for me, Jhang Jia Hong.

Siao Ting Wun.

Siao Ting Wun.

Do you smell the stench in this house?

Then open the window to let some fresh air in.

Why must we move to a place like this?

Don't worry about that.

Also, don't let your Dad hear you asking that question.

Dad, why must we move to a place like this?

You have 1 new message.

Hello, Mr. Jhang.

We noticed you moved away when

our colleagues visited your home this morning.

I sincerely recommend that you face the problem ASAP.

If you pay your debt on time,

we won't make any trouble for you. We run a legitimate business.

The 80 million you owe us plus

the interest generated during this game of hide and seek

will only burden you more.

This dress doesn't belong to me or Jia Sin.

Didn't you say we were in a rush and didn't have time this morning?

But you still remembered to bring her dress.

Can you stop nagging?

Hu...

are you home?

You're busy?

Have you eaten?

The public sent some Autumn Festival gifts.

We are not allowed to accept gifts.

It's a waste to throw them out.

Our superior said these are hard to come by.

How can we forget our senior officer?

The Superintendent still remembers me?

Come sit down.

This one is new.

- Come greet your predecessor. - Hello, Senior.

Hi.

Our senior started to learn sculpting after his retirement.

He taught himself.

- Look, every one of them is lifelike. - Yes, they are.

All right.

Don't flatter me on purpose.

Brother,

about that haunted house, Lin told us someone move in there today.

What did you say?

Hey.

What's wrong?

If Lin's words were accountable, dogshit would be edible.

You were told to bring gifts, not to stir up trouble.

- Sit down. - I'm sorry.

Hu,

here's the situation, don't be too stubborn.

The landlord has been complaining over these last few years.

Must you go bother him all the time?

the incident has already passed. It's been many years.

They need to rent the house, right?

why must they rent it out?

If anything happens, will you take the responsibility?

You've been retired for many years.

Just leave these things behind.

It's not your job anymore.

If it wasn't for me,

Something would've happen to that family two years ago.

It's not your business even if something happen's to them.

Besides, you're all talk.

Do you have any scientific evidence?

this.

This is scientific evidence.

Don't tell me about those nonsense every time.

All right, Hu.

Even if you saw something,

can't you just pretend that you haven't seen anything?

Go home.

Hu.

Go home!

Can't we discuss this?

Go home!

Go home!

Take that with you.

Sorry to keep you waiting, Mr. Jhang.

We received a notice from the credit agency,

that you have late payment records at another bank.

That's why we've suspended your card.

But I've been paying my loans on time with your bank.

Can't you make an accommodation?

I'm sorry, you need to contact that bank or the credit agency

before we can do anything...

I just got a message saying if you don't pay the money back,

the children and I have to be careful when we leave the house.

- What does this mean? - Just ignore them.

What do you mean ignore them?

What have you done? Why did it turn out like this?

Plus, they suspended my cards too.

What should we do now?

We're already bankrupt. Now they're hunting us down!?

Don't exaggerate so much.

Aren't we all fine now?

Don't worry. Nothing will happen.

What happened at your company anyway?

We are all in the dark. We don't know anything.

- What if you go out one day and get kidnapped? - Can you stop bothering me?

I'm just worried about you.

The reason I didn't tell you was because you would be worried.

Besides, you can't help anyway.

Someone set a trap for me. That's why I borrowed that kind of money.

It's too late now.

There's no use regretting now.

The most important thing...

is to solve this problem.

So...

How are you going to solve this problem?

I'll find a way.

No matter what,

we still have to go on with our lives, right?

Where's Le Le?

Why aren't you asleep yet?

I'm looking for Le Le.

Go to sleep now. Maybe Le Le will appear tomorrow.

Really?

On September 4th, 2006

a sight that might be the cruelest

local police officers will ever seen in their lives.

The five bodies were piled in a very strange way.

Their limbs were also tied behind their backs.
