[disconcerting music plays]
[disconcerting music continues]
[in Cantonese] What the fuck
were you doing? Fuck you.
[in Mandarin] I was busy with something.
- [Ying, in Cantonese] I waited 15 minutes!
- [in Mandarin] Sorry, sorry.
[in Cantonese] I don't want to listen
to your crap. Don't let it happen again.
[Mother Hulda, in Mandarin]
I won't, I won't Sorry.
[sighs]
[footsteps approaching]
[men grunting]
[Ying, in Cantonese] Boss, got a headache?
[man, in Cantonese]
Then, can you still fight?
[man grunting]
[both grunting]
[keys clatter]
[in English] Are you hungry?
No.
Don't worry.
It's on the house.
I have to go.
Where are you going?
Wait.
There's someone
who would like to meet you.
It's the mother from yesterday.
She wants to thank you.
[baby cooing]
[in Mandarin] I came
to thank you for saving my baby.
Thank you.
[Mother Hulda in Mandarin] Take care.
Eat healthy food.
Take good care of the baby.
- [woman] Thank you.
- No worries. Off you go.
[door closes]
[keys jingle]
[in English] I think you dropped this.
You have papers?
Dragon Palace is good place to be.
Full of opportunities.
[in Mandarin] Dat, cook Chinese cabbage.
She will join us for dinner later.
[door unlocking]
[in Mandarin] You're here. Come in.
[door slams]
Was she the one who saved the baby?
[Mother Hulda] Mmm-hmm.
Yes, that's right. She's the one.
[My Kin] I had no idea that she's so tiny.
Yes, she's short and skinny.
[My Kin] She looks like a little boy.
[Mother Hulda] Hmm. You should add
a few inches to her height.
[My Kin] Sure, no problem.
I'll take some photos of her.
[camera shutter clicking]
[Mother Hulda] Okay.
That's enough.
Don't take any more.
[My Kin, in English] What about your name?
Do I just choose one?
[Mother Hulda] Yes, a new name
and new life at Dragon Palace.
Hmm. Maybe, Rikke Andersen?
Rikke Andersen? [scoffs]
[in Mandarin] Not good.
[in English] What about
Isabella Christensen?
[Mother Hulda] Hmm.
[in Mandarin] No. It doesn't suit her.
[My Kin] Let's think of another one.
[in English] Cimona.
[disconcerting music plays]
[music intensifies]
[in English] Mum?
"Yes, my darling?"
I need to suck blood again.
"Just make sure you do it in the barn."
Like grandfather.
"Yeah. Like grandfather.
And like Uncle Blood Tooth."
Yeah, that would be the ultimate.
He was the greatest murderer of them all.
"Even your grandfather
saw the angel of death in him."
I wish I could have seen
the gardens of torture.
"Yes. We've all dreamed of it.
Do you have a victim in mind?"
Yeah.
"Whom?"
I don't know her,
but she's been communicating with me.
"Behind my innocent exterior
hides an uncontrollable lust,
which I'm excited to share with you,
for the first time ever."
"Nicklas."
Yeah, Mum?
I love you.
[Nicklas] Mum.
[Beate] Yes, darling.
When is Dad home?
[Beate] In about a week, I think.
Do you miss him?
I need to flex my muscles.
[rhythmic breathing]
[disconcerting music plays]
[in Mandarin] Mr Chiang,
what What brings you here?
[in English] It's my head.
You heard about Mr Chiang's head, right?
[in Mandarin] Yes. I feel bad
that you're suffering, too.
[in English] I heard you got a new girl.
Is that right?
[knocks]
Miu?
[knocks]
Miu, I need your help.
A man's here.
He's got migraine.
He's my boss.
I can't say no to him.
Please help me.
Just this once.
Okay.
[in Mandarin] Mr Chiang,
this is the girl with miraculous powers.
I brought her here for you.
[Miu, in English] Take off
your jacket and shoes.
[breathing heavily]
[exhales slowly]
[heavy breathing resumes]
[heart beating]
[heart beating]
[heavy breathing continues]
[heart beating]
[heavy breathing and heartbeat fade]
How did it go?
He's sleeping.
Sleeping? What did you do?
What?
What are you doing?
What's in there?
Nothing.
I know Mr Chiang has your daughter.
[Mother Hulda] I've done something stupid.
If I don't pay,
Mr Chiang
[sighs]
I'll never get my daughter back.
[sighs]
[tense music plays]
[inhales deeply]
[exhales]
[Dat, in Mandarin] Mother Hulda!
Mother Hulda!
[Mother Hulda] Yes?
Mr Chiang, are you feeling better?
[in English] Much better.
I feel like I've slept for a century.
[in Mandarin] That's good.
Good thing it wasn't that long.
You just slept for 18 hours.
[in English] I'll remember this.
Where is the girl?
[in Mandarin] She isn't here.
I'll go and get her.
Would you like to eat a bit first?
I'm almost done,
and you haven't even finished one?
[Dat] Don't worry, it'll be ready soon.
I didn't even ask you
to make the more complicated ones.
Your Hey, this one is done now.
- [Dat] Is it? Okay, coming.
- Come over here and add the shrimp.
Chop some more, that's not enough.
Yes, of course.
How can that be enough for so many people?
- [chopping]
- [clicks tongue]
[snoring]
[snoring continues]
Dat, hurry up and get me that dessert.
- All right, no problem.
- Hurry up.
- Okay, no problem.
- Don't overfry those bananas.
If they're overdone, they're no good.
[in English] Where's Mr Chiang?
He left.
[gasps] He just left?
But he left a message.
Yeah?
He hopes your pigs are hungry.
[in Mandarin] Why are you here?
Get to work!
- Yes, all right. Okay.
- Hurry!
[pigs snorting, squealing]
[exhales]
Dear God, please don't blame me.
I have no choice.
I just want my daughter back.
[exhales]
You're lucky.
Once dead, you're released.
This is my last farewell to you.
[machine whirrs]
[pigs snorting]
[pigs squealing]
[in English] This is
how I repay Mr Chiang.
[pigs squealing]
No body,
no crime.
[pigs squealing]
Valborg?
Valborg.
Where the hell is that pig?
Hi, Father.
Hello, my boy.
I've been sailing the seven seas.
Out there on the ocean,
I had an epiphany.
You know, your mother and I
are very grateful for the joy
that is serving you forever and ever.
Before I embark again on new adventures
to uncivilised continents,
I have a gift for you
which shall remind you of my epiphany.
The bond between mother and son
is the strongest there is.
I accepted this for a long time.
But then I began to question it.
After all,
you see, you and I
share an element that binds us together.
An element that everyone envies.
Strives for. Dreams about.
The ultimate symbol of power
that our Lord created.
Know what it is?
A prick.

[pig snorting]
[pigs squealing]
So how did your pig actually die?
[squealing continues]
I don't know.
It just lay there.
It was my favourite pig.
Yeah, that's, sad, very sad.
Yeah.
Look at that one,
with its arse pointing at us.
Damn good pig, that one.
Does he eat a lot?
Yeah, well,
that's to say,
you don't want a pig
who eats everything, do you?
I do.
I want one with a big appetite.
[man] Well, we also have
free-range pigs outside.
They eat anything.
If they can eat
like you drink, that's good.
- [laughs] Goddamn. Yeah.
- [pig squealing]
Hey, shut up! Shut up!
So, do we have a deal, then?
Yeah.
How much is it?
You have to talk to Beate.
[pigs snorting]
Is she here?
[laughs] She's up in her castle.
[disconcerting music plays]
[Mother Hulda]
Why is it so much this time?
It's free-range.
It's had a good life.
But 10,000 is a lot, you know.
Let's say 2,000.
If you want a good pig, you have to pay.
I don't pay 10,000 kroner
for shoes that cost 20,000.
Okay.
Five.
Are you Chinese?
No.
Where are you from?
I don't know.
Will you leave us while
your Chinese friend comes to her senses?
You stress me out,
staring at me like that.
[Michael] Honey, have you seen
my leather trousers?
[Beate] I think they're in the closet.
What's going on here?
The Chinese want to buy a pig.
Interesting.
How's it going?
Just fine.
I'm just making sure I get paid.
[scoffs]
[Michael] Don't take my wife
too seriously.
She's as cold as ice
when it comes to money,
but she's full of love
when it comes to her vagina.
Would you like to see my prick?
No thanks.
I sense you have no idea
of its importance.
It's a great cultural asset.
As a Chinese, you should appreciate that.
It's been featured
in many artistic projects.
It's true.
My husband's organ is world-famous.
Okay.
What are you doing now?
Spreading my sperm.
[wind blowing]
I've dedicated my life
to travelling the world
and teaching people a new sexuality.
It's about the power one has
when one possesses a cock.
[Mother Hulda] Okay.
Well, I hope we can agree on five.
[wind blowing]
[disconcerting music plays]
[soft thud]
[intense clang]
[wind blowing]
[Miu] There's something evil
in that place.
[Mother Hulda] Yeah.
It's been there for generations.
It's not a good place.
I have to go back.
I saw a spirit.
Who was it?
[Miu] Someone I knew.
A young, beautiful girl
called Cimona.
I have to find out why she's there.
Shall I come with you?
No.
[thrilling music plays]
[disconcerting music plays]
[disconcerting music continues]
