Daughter (2015) - full transcript

Award-winning veteran actress Kara Hui delivers a tour de force performance as a mother driven to the edge by her seemingly possessed daughter in the chilling horror suspense thriller Daughter. Psychologist Sharon's (Kara Hui) only wish is for her daughter Jenny (Super Girls member Yanny Chan) to marry well. Despite Jenny's objections, Sharon sets her up with a rich suitor but things do not go as she planned. Jenny's actions become increasingly rebellious and strange, scaring off those around her, and Sharon herself also feels increasingly anxious and unstable from the stress of dealing with her daughter's condition. Sharon's friend introduces her to a priest/exorcist who insists that Jenny is being bothered by an evil spirit. Even after the exorcism ritual, however, bizarre incidents keep occurring. Is Jenny really haunted by ghosts, or are inner demons at work?

Hello?

Where are you?

What do you see?

Can you tell me?

I see... no one... in the street.

I am scared... I am really scared...

Don't worry, remember,

I here with you.

You are very safe, keep going.

What do you see now?

There... there... is a pet shop.



There... there is a footbridge in the front.

Don't give up... don't disappoint your daughter,

Don't you really want to see your daughter?

Keep going...

...I can't move...

the front was where she jumped down...

Mrs. Lee, give yourself a chance,

give your daughter a chance,

your daughter would really love to talk to you,

listen up, what she wants to say...

but... but I am really scared...

I am afraid...
that she would fall in front of me again.

Ah... Ahh...

Mrs. Lee, is Ling speaking to you?



Does she tell you...

that she loves you very much?

She says... she loves me very much.

Now I count to three,

when I count to three, you will wake up.

One, you are very relaxed,

feel no more guilt

Two, your daughter wants you to live

happily every day.

Can you do that?

Three!

Thank you.

Dr. Cheung, you have two more patients today,

and Mrs. Chan called and she would like to

make a booking on next Monday,

I checked your schedule

and you are only free at 2pm,

but she wants to see you at 10am.

Then make it 10am!

It's all about money!

...Mother's Day...

Hello?

Hey! where are you? It's so noisy on your side.

What..what? I can't...

Yes?

Dr. Cheung, Miss Lee will be late for 30 minutes.

OK.

Hey! I am very busy,

please go home right now.

It's me Mrs. Lin, Sharon,

what annoys you?

Sorry... sorry... no...

Jenny said she wants to get back home
to practice piano

and asked me to drive her home,

but I am busy now...

Jenny is your daughter?

Let's have dinner with her together someday?

I can also have my son joins us.

Someday?

I am free this Saturday, how about you?

Good! Saturday it is!

Ah... I almost forgot,

my friend would like to discuss about
her son's situation with you.

What about her son?

Her son has already seen
quite a lot of psychiatrists

but still don't have any improvement.

That's why she always thinks her son
is possessed by the demons.

Possession?

I never believe that there are
ghosts in this world.

The technology nowadays is that well-developed,
if there really are ghosts,

picture of showing both human being
and ghost together should have been taken.

But, is there any?

How about you tell your friend
to have her son comes here,

I definitely can help him.

Ok, I am relieved,

I'll let you know once it is confirmed, Sharon.

OK, see you then, goodbye.

Jenny, where are you now?

I am with Wan.

Stay there, I come and pick you up now.

Hello? Hello?

Come on Jenny, have fun!

You have changed,
since you came back from Canada,come on.

Come on Jenny, I show you a boy.

Jenny!

Come out now!

Get out of the water, now!

Good evening!

What the hell are you thinking?

You have changed completely
since you came back from Canada,

you dress like a mess, so tacky.

Do you think I don't spend enough time with you?

I have a job, I am busy.

I will spend more time with you, ok?

So, please don't dress like this again.

I will buy you some new clothes later.

Mommy will have dinner with Mrs. Lin and her son,

I want you to be with him, is it ok?

The water in the pool is not good to your skin,
go get shower.

How about this? It looks nice,

Let me see...

It looks good on you! Nice

It really fits!

You can wear it too, let's buy together!

Right, Mommy! This Sunday is Mother's Day

what would you like to eat? I cook for you.

No, I am already very happy to have you with me.

No way! I have just learnt a new dish

I'll make it for you!

Ok, ok.

So it is! Don't take too many!

Try it.

Mommy, what do you think about this one?

This one is not bad, try it on.

So?

So-so... try this one.

Changed?

Try the first one again.

This is it.

You are a girl

why you always have to make yourself so messy.

Are you spineless?

Sit up!

Are you very dissatisfied with the good life...

that I plan for you?

OK, then I'll just give you up.

Don't you ever blame me

if you live likes in hell when you get old.

Are you talking to me?

Jenny

do you like the food?

Gordon

you like foie gras very much?

Kind of.

Do you guys know how foie gras is made?

It's very nasty, very cruel.

They ram pipes down the throats of the geese,

keep pumping food into their stomachs,

feed them up so full which they can't even vomit

no matter how much they want to

so they have to swallow down.

When they got fed up so big and fat

then they will got killed!

How cruel it is!

Mrs. Lin

you are not young anymore

don't have too much foie gras,

because they will get you
liver cancer more easily.

Right, isn't my daughter great?

She recently got interested in studying
the benefits of food,

Oh... oh... you know quite thoroughly...

So...

you want to study Medicine?

I surely want her to...

Did I do something wrong?

You have to tell me even I did something wrong...

Shut up!

What exactly I did wrong?

No more acting! There is no audience.

You act quite good

acting like a goat.

Don't you forget what I do for living,

Are you really crazy?

If you are,
I guarantee to treat you free of charge.

If I did something wrong, you should have told me.

You did nothing

you only tried your best to embarrass me the most!

If you think that I am an embarrassment to you

then don't take me out with you anymore.

Are you done?

If you are done, I go back to my room.

You have something to say?

What do you want now?

Even if you want to lecture me,
can you do it tomorrow?

I don't give a damn what you are up to,

From tomorrow, you must stay in my sight,

How are you feeling lately?

Go away!

I have tons of patients, I don't need you,

Mia, get in the car, I give you a ride.

No... thanks.

It's difficult to get a taxi now,

come on up.

Ok, get on the car.

Sit tight.

Yeah!

Go!

What kind of driver you are!

Do you see it?

Mia!

Honey, I need to tell you something.

I feel like Sharon is a bit weird recently.

What do you mean by weird?

I saw a ghost following her.

How is it possible?

It's true!

I saw it today.

I saw that a child was following her.

Well...

How about I ask Father Wong to talk to her.

But, Sharon is a psychiatrist,

I am afraid that she won't believe it.

Well, we just try our best to help...

Good Morning.

Sharon,

I see a kid has been

following you in these few days.

A kid?

We don't have a kid.

It's not a real kid,

it's a ghost.

My husband's friend, he is a priest,

we can introduce him to you,

see if he can help you.

My daughter's might have been
being frustrated recently,

but I don't think it is related to ghosts.

Father Wong.

Look at the mirror.

Did she have an abortion before?

Why are you still here?

Why can't I be here?

So can I go back to my room?

Have we ever had a rule
that we cannot excuse ourselves

from the table if they finish the meal first?

You always leave the table first for every meal.

I haven't finished yet.

SO we now exorcise the demon from her.

Open the curtains.

Ok.

In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,

I command you to come out of her!

You are wicked and filthy,

You will be thrown into the lake of fire!

Has to make her awake!

Do you have the perfume?

Who are you?

You hath no power in this human!

We now will throw you out,

every satanic power,

every incursion of the infernal adversary,

with the power of our Lord Jesus Chris,

atone the lamb of God!

You cunning snake!

In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ

we command you!

The word of the living God,

to save us and unwilling to give up.

Jenny.

In The Name Of The Father, Son And Holy Spirit,
I command you,

with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,

casting all your anxiety upon him,

because he careth for you.

Be sober, be watchful:

your adversary the devil,

as a roaring lion,

walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

whom withstand steadfast in your faith,

knowing that the same sufferings are accomplished
in your brethren who are in the world.

The demons in Jenny have been exorcised.

Take a look of yours...
why don't we take a picture... like a couple

Mother and daughter,

Mother and daughter

leaf can accessorize...

Look at me...

Mummy, mummy,

check this out,

Do you like it?

Is it too fancy?

No, I think it looks good on you,

try it.

Try some.

I want this, thanks mummy.

Remember,

tell me if you don't want to do it

or don't like to do it,

I won't push you.

Ok.

Ok, see you next time, bye-bye.

Bye-bye.

Mummy... no, Dr. Cheung,

Your next appointment, Mrs. Chan,
will arrive at 4 o'clock,

so you can take a rest now,

Ok, so let's take a rest.

Right?

Why didn't you go with me,

Next time, let's go together next time,

next time I will try red.

How will it be?

Mia.

I made you some salad.

Really?

Thank you,

Come on in.

Sure.

What's wrong?

How's Jenny?

It's ok.

Father, I am not good lately.

I need to take a lot of pills to get sleep.

And, I always see...

Dispel, then you can forget the past,

to live the life that you used to live.

What are you doing? Mummy

[... I hit someone.

Can't you see it?

I didn't see anything.

I did hit someone.

Sharon.

What happened?

Nothing.

Jenny.

What are you doing?

As you hate us so much,

why keep us.

When the demon invades the victim,

All the energy of the victim will be absorbed,

when the demon leaves,
the victim supposed will be fainted.

But Jenny didn't, which I felt strange.

Father,

last time didn't you say you
have already exorcised the demon?

Mummy, please let me stay,

I don't want to go there and be alone.

Mummy

What's wrong with going to Canada to study?

What you leant is all yours!
