What's that sound?
Weird
Why do we only hear your boss panting?
It's over?
There must be more
This
We haven't seen this yet
Isn't that here?
That's me
Stop watching
I said, stop watching
You always want to watch
Wasn't she from the other day?
standing in the field?
I'm
I'm heading out
Belly Button
Stay a little longer
Stay a little longer
Should we call the cops?
Did you forget your mother?
You want to lose your job?
F***
Don't you know
cops and courts are run by the rich?
That night
the two of them sat, terrified
Sitting there like idiots
Sitting until sunrise
As soon as it was light
Belly Button and Pickle rushed downtown
to find Brother Lin
Brother Lin is normally section manager
at a security company
But his other identity
is serving as the medium at a temple
The gods possess his body
What you see now
is the act of possession
The gods use spirit writing to help
the unfortunate
Basically,
of those who come with questions
one type is the rich and powerful
who are afraid of losing it all
The other type is the poor and powerless
whose hearts need relief
What you see now
is the gods' spirit writing
The interpreter on the side
reads out what the gods are writing
The words are called Luan
They are the gods' message to believers
But today, the only Luan
that Belly Button and Pickle received
was the gods telling them to be honest
respect one's parents
and be useful to one's country
Belly Button and Pickle
became more baffled, the more they saw
What you're about to see
is the complete Luan
Welcome
to the Homeland Safety Religious Center
Defend home and homeland
To exercise filial piety
is self-evident
Following the solar horoscope brings safety
Courage's blessing carries you
through the world
Belly Button visits Peanut each day
to pick up trash
As they talked
Peanut realized Belly Button and Pickle
had met a bad spirit
and needed to cleanse their fortunes
The first place he thought of
was his uncle's Chiang Kai-shek temple
Uncle
These two encountered a bad spirit
and came to cleanse their fortunes
They didn't say what it was
but Lord Chiang
should be able to help
You two
This temple only appears barren
My uncle purposely doesn't decorate
to promote sheer simplicity
It also expresses Lord Chiang's
integrity, pure as driven snow
People pray to Lord Chiang?
Goddamn
Even Pigsy has worshippers
Listen
This temple
after it was built 30 years ago
kept failing at divination
No gods would come here
One day
When my uncle was napping
Lord Chiang came to him in a dream
and told my uncle
I've got the time
I'm available
That's why
my uncle tends the temple
It's not easy
What does 'tend' mean?
He serves the gods
He serves the gods
Uncle
Want to help them cleanse their fortune?
These gods
sometimes they select certain people
Motherf***er
Don't know what he's up his own ass about
What's impressive about tending
a lousy-ass temple?
F***
Makes me feel sick
Mr. Huang, My apologies
Sorry for making you come all this way
Don't say that
I asked you here
mainly to understand
what happened with Miss Feng Ju Yeh
So
What happened to her?
Her family came to file a report
said she'd been missing almost a week
Now even her car's missing
I thought we'd ask a few of her friends
to come clarify the situation
When did you last speak on the phone?
I think she called me a week ago
How do you know her?
We're friends
Good friends?
I think so
What did you talk about on the phone
that day?
Nothing much
Just some random stuff
What random stuff?
As friends, we'd just talk on the phone
every once in a while
Oh, right
Last week she asked me about doing
some investing
It was just talk
It never amounts to much
That was the only thing you talked about?
Yeah
Why do I feel like it
wasn't the only thing?
What do you mean?
I looked at her call records
Miss Yeh called you
over one hundred times
Did she?
You should know better than anyone
You can't say because she called me
that I'm the one who has a problem
Mr. Huang
I never said you have a problem
A woman dials a man's phone
over 100 times
what could possibly be so urgent?
Did she call 100 times
to talk about investing?
I told you already
She called me to ask about investments
We also talked about
some unimportant trivial things
That was all
I've been honest with you
What now?
Why are we bringing Chairman Kevin
here now?
Deputy speaker, Sorry
Let me inform you of the situation
Our Chairman Kevin is an important figure
in society
He's done so many good deeds
He has the heart of a Buddha
You insult him by bringing him here
I'm sorry
What now?
Shun
What the hell did you bring
the chairman here for?
I invited Chairman Huang here to clarify
Miss Yeh's situation
I'm practically treating
him to a cup of tea
It's fine
Our Chairman Kevin contributes
money and energy to society
You see
if you're uneducated
he'll give you money to get educated
If you've got a funeral but no coffin
he'll buy you a coffin
You're insulting him
He's a man who, if he says it, he'll do it
That's what a good person he is
You're insulting him
Shun
Is chairman fine now?
It's fine
You can go if you want
Do what the hell you want
Then what the hell were you talking about?
He didn't mean it like that
Listen
I'm talking to you
and you keep replying to
the deputy commissioner
What are you trying to say?
Listen
if you f***ed around like this
out in society
the grass on your grave
would already be this high
Sorry
Show a little respect
Shun
Chairman can leave now, right?
Do what the hell you want
Like I said
What are you trying to say?
Nah, he didn't mean it like that
Unbelievable
What kind of attitude is that?
Sorry, no offense
So can we go now?
Yes, thank you
Show some respect, I'm telling you
Learn how to live in a society
Sorry
Motherf***er
You
get ready to be grilled
at next week's council meeting
Okay
Motherf***er
Unbelievable
Have a nice day, deputy speaker
Motherf***er
Sit down
Sit
How long have you worked for me?
Ten years
What did you do before you came here?
Temp jobs, here and there
Do I give enough salary?
It's enough
I haven't been in this room for years
The ceiling's leaking badly
Why didn't you tell me?
Is the A/C cool enough?
Haven't used it in a while
To be honest
I feel like you've been lazing around
without much work
Sometimes when you're at work
you sleep
and I don't want to disturb you
Your trash-picking friend often comes here
to chat
but I didn't complain
Pickle
Do I look like an idiot?
No
You think any sh*t you're up to here
I won't know about it?
You should know my personality
This is what I think
When dealing with human relations
if we're good, then we're good
if we're not good,
we need mutual understanding
Have you seen me like this before?
You've really never seen me like this?
By nodding your head, do you mean
