Synopsis: In Taipei, the crippled scientist Hashimoto uses his invention of "Menger Sponge" to capture the energy of the spirit of a child in an old building. He invites the specialist in reading lips, Detective Tung, to join his research team that is studying the phenomenon to understand the movements of the lips of the ghost. Hashimoto is trying to disclose why the energy of the ghost does not dissipate, and Tung discovers the identity and the dramatic story of the boy. He was sick with tumors and was killed by his own mother and buried nearby a nuclear plant. Hashimoto deduces that the rage of the boy for his mother associated to the location where the body was buried were the reason to keep the energy. When the government decides to shutdown the research, Hashimoto becomes insane and takes the spirit with him.

Do you believe in ghosts?

I only believe in money.

Why?

I have one question for you.

If there really are ghosts,

why do they always have clothes on?

Where's the location?

Here.

On the top floor.

If there really are ghosts.

I wouldn't mind catching one

and take a look myself.

That's exactly

what we are trying to do.

Film with Menger Sponge coating?

Japanese government spending

a lot of money on this project.

Everything the same as before?

Or you have any special requirement?

Same as before.

Exposed for 15 seconds at a time.

No flash, and only around

the furniture once every hour.

Yeah right,

same as before.

Nothing.

What the hell?

Secure the area immediately.

Evacuate everyone

from the building.

Mr. Hashimoto.

How about the authorities?

Authorities?

What authorities!

JAPANESE SCIENTIST INVENTS

DEVELOPMENT OF LARGE-SCALE

MENGER SPONGE FAILED

SCIENTIST'S DREAM SHATTERED

The apartment which contains

high radioactive contaminants...

discovered by inspectors last week

has been evacuated of residents...

but as of today, no resident

relocation plan is in place...

Miss? When did you

receive notification?

Miss. Radioactive contaminated

residence has been the job...

of the Urban Development Commission

and the Atomic Energy Bureau.

However, the emergency

evacuation mandates...

was approved and signed

by the Foreign Affairs Division...

which makes the evacuation

an odd move.

Questions regarding this evacuation

have not been answered.

One statement to warn the public

not to enter the area...

You used the Bureau's name...

to request the Taiwanese Office

of the President to evacuate a building?

And the reason is

confidential matter regarding...

the Treaty of Mutual

Cooperation & Security...

between the U.S. and Japan?

You've been wasting

the government's money.

How many foreign

consultants have died?!

This is my reason.

Large-scale Menger Sponge?

Not yet.

It's the only one in the world.

Don't forget.

It belongs to the government.

If you give me more time.

I guarantee you.

I will be able to talk to you

standing straight on the ceiling.

- I need one more favor.

- What?

Taiwan Joint Crime Crackdown Unit

Yeh Qi Tung.

To move someone

from the JCCU.

We'll need authorization from

Central and Military Intelligence.

You can do it.

Why him?

What's so special about him?

He can see the feathers

on a flying bird.

Every individual face

on a speeding bus.

He can see everything clearly.

Not only does he have sharp eyesight

but he can also read lips.

Fine, I'll help you one last time.

If you make one more mistake...

your crippled leg will go back to

Japan teaching high school physics!

Team, 3rd Floor Flat C.

Under Control.

4th floor status?

On Alert.

We found the hostage

in 3rd Floor Flat C!

Evacuate the building.

Get the bomb squad!

Tung, hostage found,

but no sign of any suspects.

All hands to 4th Floor, Left Wing.

Clear the hallways.

Attach Unit Ready!

Bomb Squad Ready!

3rd floor secured,

4th floor secured.

Bomb Squad Ready.

Tung, where is the target?

Still drinking coffee.

Anti-Tank Mine C4.

Closed-Circuit Wiring.

Remote Access Detonator.

Can you dismantle it?

There's a code for the activator.

Can you decode it?

It has a 12 digit code,

practically impossible.

Try your best.

- Set up a bypass.

- Do it.

Secure the target

and get the code.

Copy that.

Hello.

Police?

Police.

When did this happen?

Are you still there?

Chiu, somebody informed him.

He knows.

Bypass ready.

You'll be fine hiding there.

I'm going to give you the code.

Detonate the bomb.

He's going to detonate the bomb.

The detonator is inside the room.

Find that person now!

U team standby.

A team move.

Activate.

Listen carefully.

What is the code?

We need the code.

First set of numbers is...

Second set of numbers...

- 508.

- 508.

- 012.

- 012.

Last set.

What's the last set

of code numbers?

What's the last set?

Last set of numbers is 179.

What's the last number?

Dad? Dad?

Secure the scene.

Clear the building!

Give the phone back to me.

I want to talk to my Dad.

Take away the kid.

Dad, where are you?

Dad!

For your mother's seizure attack...

we had to use four times

the regular doze to keep her stable.

She is suffering.

Her muscular and

neural stems are deteriorating.

She could fall into

a coma at any moment.

If the patient's Glasgow

Coma Scale is below 4...

next of kin have the right to disconnect

the life support system.

Dr. Ma.

My mom won't die.

- Hello?

- Hello Wei.

Tung, you are early today.

You don't have to work?

I was assigned to a new unit.

I like to buy some flowers

for my mom.

Sounds good. What kind

of flowers would you like?

Choose for me.

Can you have them

delivered to the hospital?

Sure.

Tung.

Are you free tonight?

Do you want to go to

a concert with me?

I have two spare tickets.

The nurse is not available tonight.

I need to be there

with my mom tonight.

Okay.

I will go with my sister.

Thanks for the flowers.

You are welcome.

The 4th floor.

There's no contamination.

DO NOT ENTER:

Anti-Gravity Unit?

Doesn't look like it right?

You see?

Put up a sign and we have

our new headquarter.

Why did you ask for me?

Would you like coffee or tea?

What do you want from me?

Coffee?

Wait.

My name is Hashimoto.

I'm in charge of this team.

The main mission of this team is

to find a way to achieve anti-gravity.

We have tried for four years.

- Anti-gravity is impossible.

- Really?

Do you believe ghosts exist

in this world?

Follow me.

Hashimoto.

Are you sure

you want to tell him?

I'm sure.

There is no one in there, right?

It's just eye drops.

Like this.

Pay attention to his hand.

It seems that he likes apples.

Perhaps he is full now.

What's he saying?

It's raining.

He says, "it's raining."

Raining?

No reaction to sound and image.

Can't see. Can't hear.

Can't haunt people.

Not what you imagined.

This is definitely a world first.

We've caught

the world's first ghost!

Why can I see it?

This is the Menger Sponge.

It's made out of human protein.

It can capture different

electromagnetic wavelengths.

Ghost is just a form of energy.

When the Menger Sponge absorbs

enough energy it can defy gravity.

Electromagnetic wave is

a form of energy.

We sprayed a thin layer of microscopic

Menger Sponge on your eyes.

It acts like a lens filter...

giving you ability to see images

at different wavelengths.

It's 4:
30 p.m.

He wants to go out

at this time every day.

That's an instinctive reaction.

The whole room is covered

with Menger Sponge.

Even the door knob.

The Menger Sponge absorbs
