The Devil (1981) - full transcript

I thought you weren't going to show up.

Ahhhhhh...

You had been cursed by witchcraft.
Luckily we found out early,

otherwise, even I couldn't save you

Treating poison with poison.

You'll heal after poison is gone, your
misery and curse will be gone.

Thank you god, thank you.

Remember not to drink cold
water in the next 3 days.

Not to lay with a woman
in the next 7 weeks.

Ahjol!

Why are you back so late?



Uh, I ran into some old friends.

We went drinking... lots
and lots... until just now.

Mom, I'm going to bed.

Mister...

Ding dong, hurry and say
sorry to the man.

Uh, I'm sorry, very sorry,
so sorry!

Hey buddy, it's alright.

Thank you, sir. Goodbye.

- - Be more careful!
- - Goodbye!

- - Bye-bye!
- - Goodbye!

Mister, are you
looking for a room?

Yes.

Hey! It's you!

- So you're working here?
- Yeah.



Let me help you with that!

This way, mister!

Oh, Mr. go!

Thank you.

Who was that young lady
you were with earlier?

Oh, that's the daughter
of this house.

Hey...

Mister...

Hmm?

The young lady of this house
is a beauty to this village!

She's kind and has a nice temper.

Too bad I don't have
that kind of luck...

What do you mean?

If I was 10 years older than her
then everything would work out!

Hey mister, my boss not only
owns this hotel,

but he also owns many companies!

Oh?

My service is the best here!

Do you have any other requests?

Nothing for now, you may leave.

Umm... mister?

Yes?

Did you forget... this?

Ohhh!

Whoa...

Thank you, thank you!

- Hey, hey, hey.
- How can I help you?

Is there a guest named zhao here?

Named zhao?

- We don't have a 'zhao' here.
- No?! Look again!

Okay, sir.

- We really don't have this person.
- You really don't? Weird.

Uncle...

Oh.

I'm talking to you man!
You didn't answer me!

- What do you want?
- What?

If you piss me off, I will beat
your ass right now!

You wouldn't dare!

There there... mister, please let's
talk about it. Ahjol, what's going on?

This man is looking for a
person named 'zhao,

I told him we don't have
a zhao, he won't believe Mel

sir, there are 2 other
hotels around here...

Maybe the person you're
looking for is staying there?

Oh? Why don't you go there
to take a look?

- Yeah, you can go look over there.
- Shut up!

Hey, what do you mean?
I didn't do anything to you!

I'm not deaf, okay?

Okay, okay, sorry sir...

Crazy man!

If you upset me,
I'll mess you up, too!

Ahhhh...

Fang shaojen!

Ahhhhh...

It wasn't me who killed you,
it was zhao!

Miss, you shouldn't
prune the flowers.

What exactly do you mean?

I planted these flowers.

So please don't prune them
without my permission.

What are you talking about?
Weirdo.

I am just bored, that's why I'm
looking for an excuse to talk to you.

Are you angry?

That's such an old line!

Our lady doesn't like
that kind of talk!

Mr. go, you should try
to say something new.

So you saw everything?

Duh! Of course! I noticed a few days ago
that you're trying to approach her!

- Oh?
- Our lady has a lot of admirers.

She's not that easy!

Really?

Yeah

ding dong, tell me, what kind
of bait should I use to get the fish?

That depends on whether you
place your fishing pole at the right place.

Oh?

I've never fished before.

I don't know the methods.

Can you please help me?

Hey Mr. go, knowing you for a few
days, I think you're a good guy.

I think you're a good
suiter for our lady.

But regarding this request,
it can be very easy.

It can also be extremely difficult!

I don't know what you mean.

Ai-ya! What drives
everything in this world?

Ohhhhh...

Here..

A little more please.

Ding dong.

What are you doing to me?
How are you going to help me?

Uhh...

You don't have a plan to do you?

It's okay.

Uh, Mr. go, don't underestimate me.

Just wait for my good news later!

No problem... okay!

Ding dong, where are you going?

I'm going out for a bit.

Hey, you should be working
instead of messing around outside!

Ouch! Brother ahjol, uh.. No.

I mean, vice manager.

I'm going to the boss's house to keep
the lady of the house company.

What? Ding dong!

Did I hurt your head?

No you didn't.

You are such a clever boy!

Think of a way for me
to have an opportunity.

What opportunity.

Umm... like for me to
invite her out for a date.

Or go watch a movie...

Or... oh right! I can ask her to
watch a movie, tell you.

Then give you the opportunity.

Wow for real? Thanks buddy!

You're welcome!

- Huh?
- Money for the movie ticket?

Ahhh! Clever boy!

Here, keep the change!

Thank you, sir!

Good morning, mister!

You're going out? Take care.

- Hi!
- What is it?

Ms. shueh li, I want to take
you to a movie theater.

Okay.

Your treat!

I heard the show today
is really good!

What show is it?

Doesn't matter, it's really good!
Let's go!

Okay.

Going out, vice manager?

Please clean up
room 24 upstairs.

Okay, will do

mister...

Have you seen this person?

No, I haven't.

Um, are you the
manager of this hotel?

- Yes.
- Then I'll stay in this hotel, can you check me in?

Umm... oh hotel is full.

Please help me out, sir!

Okay, come on.

Oh hey, little cousin.
You're here, too?

What a coincidence!
Such a small world.

Sir, do you have your ticket?

Here.

This seat 9, seat 13 is over there.

Thank you.

Ah, Ms. deng, you're watching
the movie, too? What a coincidence!

Hey!

What the hell did you do?
Why is he in that seat?

How would I know?

Shhh...

Miss, I don't feel like watching
anymore, I'm going home.

- Ding dong!
- Bye-bye!

Ding dong!

Is this some trick of yours?

It's not! ...I swear!

Do you think I'm stupid?

No, sir!

No?! You're lying!

Damn it!

Hey! Wait for me!

C'mon, just wait for me! Wait!

Ahh!

Ahhhhh!

Boss!

A demon... ademon!
There's a demon!

Lu, go get a doctor!

Hold on a minute, boss,
that's not a good idea!

If people know our hotel is haunted,
then nobody will dare stay here.

Umm... that's...

Daddy, stop hesitating, hurry
and think of a way!

Miss, we have plenty spare
rooms in the house.

Why don't we take him to the
house to recover, what do you think?

Boss, what do you say?

Where have you been?

Something happened
and there was no manager around!

Uh, I had to go do something.

Uncle, what happened upstairs?

The guest in room 16 is sick, I told lu
and bell to send him to the house.

The guy named go...

- Moved him to deng's house?
- Yeah.

Mom, I think that go is a deviant.

Cousin shueh li fell for him
in just a few days.

I think he probably used
some kind of evil spell.

Don't slander people like that.

Maybe, they really
developed feelings.

Feelings?! That's impossible!

Ma...

I heard there is this one
kind of witchcraft...

You right, there is a kind like that...

People under this kind of spell...
Their life is not threatened.

But, their conscious is fuzzy,
they hallucinate...

Often they do things they don't intend to do,
fall in love with people they dislike, so...

Yes!

Cousin must be under
this kind of spell!

What nonsense are you saying?

It's not nonsense.

Must be go doing
something suspicious!

If you don't believe me,
I'll show you tomorrow!

You're awake.

Drink this while it's hot.

Sure.

Thank you for taking care of me.

Shueh li...

The first time I laid eyes on you,
I fell for you.

Mr. go...

Call me baoshen.

I told you they really like each other!
You wouldn't believe me.

Now you've seen it
with your own eyes!

Come here...

Yo! How dare you lay
together under broad daylight!

Aren't you afraid of
upsetting my boss here?

Ding dong...

Mr. go, are you taking a liking
to our young lady of the house?

Yes.

You do?
Ms. shueh li, do you like Mr. go?

Don't be shy! Me and boss man
saw everything! Right?

If you're truly in love, boss man
will surely agree to this.

Boss, what do you say? Huh?

You agree? Yes! You agree! Yes!

Hey congrats!
Good for you, congrats!

Wonderful, the boss man agrees!

Heh?

What?

Match making, I deserve
a reward!

Get back to work!

Shueh li...

Sir, third auntie and her
son is here to see you.

Okay, Mr. go, shueh li, come
with me please.

Shueh li, you have great taste.

Third sister, it's the perfect
time for you to visit.

I was thinking about planning
a wedding for them.

I see! Can I trouble you to pick
an auspicious date?

Baosheng, will you marry shueh li?

I swear I will treat
shueh li my best!

Be caring and
obedient to her father.

I swear on my own life!

Firecrackers popping

thank you.! Thank you!

Thank you.

This is awesome! Awesome!

Zhao tingsheng!

Zhao tingsheng!
Where's my sister?!

Excuse me, my last
name is go, not zhao.

Motherfucker, I'd recognize you
even if you'd been burnt to ashes!

You must have the wrong person.

- Motherfu...
- Hey!

Hey mister, his name is go,
not zhao tingsheng.

I didn't get the wrong person,
he is zhao tingsheng.

He took my sister's virginity.

Now my sister has disappeared!

Zhao tingsheng, where is
fang shaojen?

Sir...

You're mistaken.
My name is not zhao.

Stop pretending!

Sir, his name is go, why do
you insist he tricked your sister?

It's none of your business!

You crazy person! How many times do
I have to tell you before you get it?

What?!

Let go of me!

Baosheng, did he really
make a mistake?

Shueh li, do you really think
I'm the kind of person he said?

Baosheng...

Today is a great day, how did we end
up with a mad man like this?

Let's get out of here.

You're crazy dude!

Let go! Zhao tingsheng, I will
uncover your lies!

Shueh li! What's going on?
Shueh li?

Shueh li, there's nothing.

I really saw a ghost!
With long hair and a white robe...

Don't be scared, maybe you're
too tired from today.

- But I really saw it with my own eyes.
- Shueh li, I'm here, don't be scared.

Ahhhh...

Hey!

Hey!

An auspicious day
turned into misfortune.

Baosheng is gone for the whole
night, no idea where he is.

How can I not worry about this?

Baosheng!

- Baosheng, are you okay?
- Mhmm.

Baosheng, what exactly happened?

Dad, ll...

What did you see last night?

Oh... just a crazy person.

Shueh li, you look
like you haven't slept.

I've been worried to death,
how could I have slept?

Go get some rest please.

You haven't slept either.

Uh, since everything is fine, why
don't you both get some rest?

Excuse me, that's private
property, you cannot enter.

I'm going to look for
zhao tingsheng.

Stop!

We told you many times he is not,
why are you still here!

What? You are unreasonable
and you hit me?!

Lul lu! Somebody come help!

You tell zhao tingsheng, if I
find him, I'll kill him!

I won't let you go that easy.

Ding dong! Ding dong!

This way please...

What the crap? Damn it!

It's just one night shift and
you're sleeping on the job.

Any new guests?

- Nope.
- No? Okay.

Hey, my room key.

I'm going to bed now.

Ahhhhhhh!!

Lu, hurry and go get boss!

Red bumps all over him, he
kept screaming, it was so eerie.

Boss! Daddy, hurry!

He's right in front!

Stop! Don't come near!

Ding dong, go get some
men and tie him up!

Yes ma'am!

Quick! Tie him up!

Third auntie, is he under
some kind of curse?

Can we still save him?

It's too late, he's under a
tame head curse.

If you get bit by him, you
will catch the curse, too!

Pull harder!

Third sis, can we save him?

There's nothing I can do, the one
who set the curse is too vicious.

What are you going to
do with him?

Burn him!

Be careful!

Hurry up!

Burn him! Burn him!

Shueh li, shueh li, what's
wrong with this man?

He's under a tame head curse,
auntie said to burn him.

Baosheng, daddy, can we
please go back?

What are you yelling about?

Ding dong, you scared
the crap out of me!

Boss told me to give
you these snacks.

And here's a little liquid
courage for ya!

It's Mel

Stop messing with Mel

what... did you see just now?

Nothing.

You little shit!

You dare trick me?!

Look out it's a ghost!

You little shit!

Damn you!

Ahhhhhhh!

Shueh li.

- Shueh li?
- Yes, daddy?

Where's baosheng?

He's outside.

What's going on?

Baosheng. Baosheng!

Stop yelling man, what is it?

You've only been doing
the books for 2 weeks.

How can we be losing
so much money?

Hey...

Hey, I've never managed
a business before.

I've never done the books, of
course the numbers might be off!

You're arguing with me?

Gu... baosheng!

Shueh li...

How do you fall for a
guy like this?

Baosheng...

You've changed.

Say what you want!

From now on, don't ask
me to do your books!

Gu baosheng!

You're not a man!

You...

Daddy!

What's wrong? Please sit down!

Daddy! Daddy!

Baosheng, you know
daddy has a heart condition

why did you treat him like that?

Where did you go last night?

You've changed so quickly...

Hey...

Are you done talking?

Baosheng, what did my dad
and I ever do to you?

If you made a mistake with the
numbers, just be honest with dad.

He will surely forgive you.

What the hell are
you mumbling about?

Baosheng...

Get the fuck away!

Cousin!

Hey go!

“Unmarried man and woman shall
not touch', she is my wife you know.

You are a vicious bully!

How dare you talk to me,
this is a matter inside my house.

It's none of your business.

She's my cousin, I can't
let you do this to her.

She's my wife, I do
what I want with her.

Get inside!

What do you want? Asshole!

Cousin, cousin please...

I knew long ago that
you were rotten...

Whatever you wanna say.

Shueh li, come here!

Gu baosheng, you're evil!
You even had me fooled!

Get the hell inside!

Get out of my house.

Gu baosheng, let me tell you...
I will not let you off easy!

Sir, if you don't intend to stay,
why are you looking in here?

Kid, how is business usually?

Pretty good, why do
you wanna know?

Who said I'm selling the hotel?

Ding dong told me just now.

What is going on?

This morning a man said we are
selling the hotel to them, so...

Weird...

What is there to wonder, must
be that bastard who sold it.

What about me?

Lu ahjol, are you trying
to create conflict again?

Did you try to sell our hotel?

Oh, I was just thinking for you...

You're getting older, why not
sell the hotel and enjoy life?

Bullshit! Don't you dare
touch my property!

Get out, get out of my sight!

Get out?

“It easy to bring the Buddha in,
harder to send it away.”

What? Old man, you want to
split half of your property with me?

I've been so blind!

Piss off!

What are you doing? If you touch
him again, I won't hold back

huh?

Boss, it's all my fault...

I shouldn't have introduced
him to our miss.

I was so blind, I was so blind!

Old man, to tell you the truth...

I already gave property
contract to the buyer.

And... I already took
part of the payment.

You...

You stole the contract
from my safety vault?

Huh? Stole? Don't make it
sound so bad.

I'm your son-in-law, you should say,
took...

Gu baosheng! Gu...

Uncle!

Uncle!

Boss!

Boss!

Baosheng?

- Uncle! Uncle!
- Boss!

Boss!

It's all my fault that
you're dead!

Daddy!

Mom!

Haven't I warned you before?
Why are you here?!

I must avenge uncle!

This jerk tricked shueh li, he
ruined the whole family!

I want him dead! Using a
tame head curse!

I'd never let you use
witchcraft to harm others!

I learned the tame head
curse to save lives.

Mom, we can't sit here and watch
that bastard do what he wants.

The heaven is watching, evil
people will get what they deserve.

There will be a fair
ending to this all.

Daddy!

Boss...

Auntie... auntie!

Cousin...

Third auntie...

Boss is dead because of me.

This is all my fault,
all my fault.

I should be dead!
I'm so stupid! I should be dead!

Third auntie... you must avenge
boss, you must, please!

Third auntie!

Young master, you must get
revenge for uncle, you must!

My lady... please forgive me.

I... I will never blame you.

This is a farewell calligraphy
sent by a friend.

(“Man with no moral, bullies weak woman,
not even the heaven will forgive him,

Who sent this?!

A woman in a veil.

- Where is she?
- She left.

Mom, there needs to be an
end to this evil man.

I want to avenge uncle,
put a curse on him!

Third auntie...

I beg of you, you must avenge
uncle, give him what he deserves.

Auntie, I brought this misfortune,
please forgive baosheng.

Cousin! Why are you
still protecting him?!

L...

Mighty snake god, the man
named go baosheng,

has done many evil deeds...

Led to other's death, he shall not be
forgiven, allow me this one exception.

So I can administer justice
for the heaven, take out this evil.

What took you so
long to make food?

Shueh li...

Cousin?

What are you doing here so late?

I'm going to kill go baosheng.

I'm going to get revenge
for uncle!

No!

- No, no...
- Shueh li.

This is the tame head serum I got
from mom, make him drink this.

The poison is lethal,
he will be dead.

- Shueh li, give this to Mel
- Cousin, no, no, please no!

Give it to me!

Cousin... I don't want
this to happen...

We are giving him a taste
of his own medicine.

He fooled you, killed your
father, and fang hao,

and who knows how
many other innocent people...

An evil man like him,
this is what he deserves.

Cousin, I...
Shueh li, are you dead in the kitchen?

I'll be right there.

- No...
- Shueh li, take this.

Take this!

Take it. He killed your father.

Take it.

What the hell? I'm starving!

Make a bowl for Mel!

This...

- This porridge...
- Okay, enough! Get outta here!

Daddy! Daddy!

Daddy... daddy...

Cousin, this man is an evil beast,
he's not worth being sad over!

This is what he deserves.

Fang shaojen!

Ahhh!

Master, I... I'm poisoned by
the tame head curse.

Master, please save me...

This particular curse is the
most vicious, I cant save you.

I don't believe that, if you know how
to set one you know how to take it away!

Thinking of a way to save me!

It wasn't me who set this curse, you have
to find the one who did to save you.

No! You must save me!

I really cannot save you.

Hey... what are you doing?
You... you...

Ahhhhhh!

Ahhhh!

Gu baosheng was
zhao tingsheng after all,

he tricked and killed
fang shaojen

and then he purchased some
tame head curses from a witch doctor

mom, why did he do all that?

To use the curses to kill
off any leads to his crimes.

Mom, how did you know all this?

When shueh li's dad died, you all
begged me to put a curse on zhao...

At that moment I was
hesitant, however that night,

fang shaojen came to me,
and told me everything.

Isn't fang shaojen dead?

She didn't die, she lost consciousness
after being hit on the head.

After I heard all the crimes zhao did,
I decided to give the curse to ahjol.

This devil, he deserves this!

Auntie, is she fang shaojen?

Fang shaojen, I broke my practice
to set this curse, it's a deep sin.

Please recite more Buddha's
scripture for me daily.
