(Slaughter a pig to make a wish to the gods)

(Slaughter many to make many wishes)

[in Taiwanese] Hi, aunties.

[in Mandarin] Morning. Busy working?

[in Taiwanese] Bin?

Yeah?

What, you have a pig instead of a wife?

What are you talking about?

Bin is taking such good care of this pig.

His wife is going to have a happy life.

Here, for you.

What’s this?

You are not being supportive.

I tell you.

If Rong isn’t elected,

your oysters won’t be exported to China.

This doesn't mean anything.

It's only toilet paper. Why make a fuss.

Right.

If you need toilet paper, tell me.

Use Rong's tissues.

That's what I called bonding, right?

Don't use these tissues from strangers.

They don't have the warmth.

Here.

For your satisfaction. All yours.

Okay.

Go for Rong.

Okay.

I’m Li Bo-Jun, the candidate for the Liberal Party.

Taiwan is now being threatened by CCP.

-They're going to attack us. -Juan?

-Three boxes of betel nuts. -For the sake of Taiwan's freedom,

-Okay. -For the sake of our freedom,

for this election...

I come here today

to ask for a favor.

$150

Since when? Wasn't it $100 for three?

What a price hike. Ripping me off.

Inflation, you know.

I can’t help it.

Please remember,

Vote for the Liberal Party.

Okay.

Li Bo-Jun, number two.

Li Bo-Jun, beacon for freedom. -Cool!

Bin, no bribing.

Shut the fuck up.

Juan,

don't be naive.

Your dad’s eel fry business and your betel nuts stand

both need Rong’s help.

Don’t drool over that handsome young man.

Don’t worry.

More than ten votes from my family

will all go to your Rong.

Vote for Rong!

That's the way.

Well said.

Get Rong elected and we'll make money.

Stop licking my foot.

Come in.

Da-Ma,

betel nuts.

Don't you want to pay your respect?

What’s wrong?

I treat you to the betel nuts.

What the fuck.

Shut up.

Hey, you stupid pig.

Where are you going?

Hi, Babe.

Hey, Babe, you’re home.

Hey, Babe, you're home.

Hi, Rong. -Hi, Babe.

You’re home.

Come on.

Have you fed her?

Yes, I have.

You have?

Come with me.

Come on.

Come to your mansion.

You’ve had fun.

Come on.

Take a seat. Have some tea.

You’re not in a hurry, are you?

Okay.

Hungry again?

Sit down.

Mm.

Bin,

you've got trash in you bag.

How dare you gave that to me?

What?

You mean this?

It’s the evidence I got from my field research.

Rong, you know,

we need to be careful about

this Li Bo-Jun.

His campaign vehicle is everywhere,

even in our territory.

Your loyal supporters might have swung over to him.

Stop making excuses.

You haven’t done your job.

I was so brave

as to curse him

when I faced his campaign vehicle.

Bin is right.

This election

is more difficult than last time.

Sit down.

Can’t help it.

The government

has set up the so-called science park

and attracted a bunch of young people

to our constituency.

Rong, you know,

These young people are useless.

They are like air.

When it's time to vote,

they won't even come out.

Why are you so sure?

Are you sure I will win with the die-hard voters?

See that?

In front of Lord Guan,

there is a red envelope.

Above it is the key

to the vault of Fishermen’s Association.

Really?

Why is the key here?

Their director-general

came gambling here

and lost, underwear included.

He left the key here as collateral.

Shit.

Unbelievable.

Bin,

you’re one of the association’s directors.

You know, the campaign needs money.

We'd like to borrow some from the Association.

Aren't you going to help at all?

But Rong,

if it's done this way,

there will be big trouble.

I just got elected not long ago.

Who helped you get elected?

When you needed money to open

a Vietnam shop, who invested in you?

What?

When there is money to be made, you are with us.

When there is no money, you wanna avoid us like smelly bugs?

Why do you say that?

That wasn't my intention.

Bin,

The money,

I will just borrow for a little while.

When the election is over, I'll return it ASAP.

The key is there.

The sacred spirit is here to protect it.

What are you worrying about?

Have some tea.

Yeah, I see.

I’ll deal with it.

Please bless me.

Fuck.

I'm the one to die. Fuck.

Helen,

what do you want for dinner?

Vietnamese?

Rice with braised pork, Vietnamese style?

Sausage with sticky rice?

Pick one.

Fuck!

You stupid pig.

What did you eat?

Where’s the key?

Shit! You swallowed it?

I'll kill you.

Damn it!

That's my Babe.

That’s my...

If you hurt her, I'll hurt you.

She swallowed the key. What can I do?

Take her home.

Feed her well, make sure she sleeps well.

Treat her well, and she'll poop it out.

Otherwise, you’ll be dead.

The key is big. How is she gonna poop it out?

Your hole is so small.

Eat well. Sleep well. I got it.

Go on. Poop and Eat.

Helen?

Sorry.

[in Mandarin] Let me tell you. When I make big money,

we won't need to do all this shit.

Under the threat of the CCP military drills,

Wang Ming-Fang, the Liberal Party candidate

who calls for peace and mutual prosperity,

is leading in the polls

and is helping other candidates in the Party.

[in Taiwanese] What are you doing, Bin?

Stirring pig shit?

Poor boy.

Stir my ass!

Don’t envy me.

Why are you doing that?

Why don’t you help me?

No, it stinks.

I know it stinks.

-Come help me! -I have work to do.

Don't shy away. Got you already.

Oh.

Your hand.

No.

Where is your pig?

Bin?

Bin?

Are you possessed or something?

Oh shit.

Yeah, all over the place.

I'm dead.

You got it on me!

Where are you, Babe?

Motherfucker!

Babe?

Fuck! Find the pig.

Out of his mind!

Fuck! Where is the pig?

Damn! I've looked everywhere.

Babe…

Have you seen her? We’ve been driving around.

It’s a small village.

Where else can the pig go?

Bin?

From the legislator.

Answer it, tell him I’m taking a shit.

Huh?

Hello, sir? I’m Yu.

Bin is taking a shit.

How's Babe doing?

My pig.

The pig...

What? What's going on?

She takes a shit regularly. No problem.

Get me the key to the vault. Be quick.

We need money desperately. Understood?

Tell him. Be quick.

Would the pig have digested the key?

I'm really in deep shit.

For sure.

Do you want to take a shit now?

Here. Rong's giving you money.

RMB! I love RMB!

The hell with democracy! All vote are equal. Bullshit!

Rong, you’re generous.

I love RMB!

Weh-hua, do me a favor.

Ask your journalists

to write articles

about me properly.

Rong's wish

is my command.

Thank you.

Da-Ma,

money. More money.

Here we are.

Don’t tell anyone about the pig.

Okay. Go home.

Hey, Bin.

Rong, get elected...

Rong, you’re generous.

I love RMB!

Wen-hua.

Now that you take the money,

write some good stuff.

Sure. No problem.

Money. More money.

Don't hold hands.

Don't hold hands.

Don't let him hold your hands.

Let’s dance!

Come on...

RMB...

Helen.

We're alone now.

Helen,

I'll pick you up at ten tomorrow morning.

Give me a moment.

Look, Helen.

The land

that you see is all mine.

I’m planning

to build a fountain over there

And behind the fountain

I'll build something

like this white palace.

Imagine.

The roof of the palace

will be round

like this,

shaped like a dome.

Once it’s built,

it'll be the fucking best in the south.

[in Mandarin] Promise me.

Only I can hold your hands.

Helen,

Let us

live together, okay?

This is Radio Peace Island.

[in Taiwanese] We invited Li Wen-Hua, our friend

from FTN News, as our guest today,

but, he's nowhere to be seen,

nor is he answering the phone.

Wen-Hua,

if you get this message, give me a call back.

Noisy guy.

Not you. That guy.

Fuck! The pig.

Yu, come here. Quick. Found the pig.

Come on. Hurry up.

You fucking pig.

Keep running, you.

Scream. Yes. No one will help you.

Come home with me.

Or Boss will be furious.

Xu does a lousy jobs with X-rays.

Where’s the key?

Bin,

is this it?

Does it look like a key?

Those are his balls.

Fuck you.

Maybe he shit in the field?

I'm not going with you to the fields.

Pig shit stinks!

Babe, where the hell

is the key?

What are you doing?

Shit! This is not the one.

What?

You two formed some kind of bond?

You can even recognize her?

What are you talking about?

The legislator’s pig

has a birthmark on the leg. This one doesn't.

No birthmark.

Take care of him.

But I don’t know how.

I’m dead.

If I can’t find the right pig,

I’ll be dead, for sure.

Motherfucker!

There is only one pig in the entire village.

Where’s this one from?

Fine...

Good boy.

Wait!

Wait for me!

Goddess Mazu,

please bless your devoted follower Zhang Xiu-Rong,

to be elected as the legislator.

I’ve renovated your temple on the Meizhou Island.

I’ll hold a ceremony when the election is done

to welcome Mazu from Meizhou to Taiwan.

In way, your original form will unite with the spirit in Taiwan.

By then, we'd be united.

Please fulfill my vow.

Bin,

are you taking care of Babe?

How is she?

Yeah.

You told me

to make sure Babe eat well and sleep well.

The Vietnamese girl even sleeps in the same bed with her.

I mean, the key.

But Rong...

It’s a large key, you know.

Babe can't be taking a shit that often.

What exactly are you good for?

Be Careful. You've got gout.

Is your foot okay?

The election is two weeks away.

You haven't give out a cent.

Boss is the chosen one by Goddess Mazu.

If he’s not elected,

we’ll be dead.

I know. No need to remind me.

But Rong,

I'm doing my best to feed her.

Babe also tries hard to take a shit.

I even fed her some laxative.

It really takes time.

We’re running out of time.

The election betting market is about to close.

And my poll?

You have 24 hours to get the key.

What? 24 hours?

A couple of days, at least. -Push through

Or Babe will... -Work harder.

Please.

Yeah, I see.

Come on. Stop glaring at me.

I know you have small eyes.

Let’s go, Yu.

Where are we going?

Shit!

[in Vietnamnese] Ma'am,

you use your body

in exchange for his position.

Is it worth it?

[in Mandarin] The Eastern Theatre Command has organized

the army, navy, air forces and rocket forces

in the middle of the Taiwan Strait... -[in Taiwanese] The CCP

...in the north, south and east of Taiwan...

Don’t tell anybody.

The navy and air forces are patrolling our main territories...

You mean, the CCP chose Rong to be a candidate?

Based on what you are saying,

that would make him a Chinese spy.

What era are you from? Chinese spy.

This is called mutual benefit.

Listen.

It doesn't matter who's in power.

We ordinary people just want to earn a living.

Let me ask you.

If one day,

fuck, CCP did attack us,

what would you two do?

What else? Live my life as usual.

For us ordinary people,

keep our mouth shut,

and behave,

then we'd be fine, right?

You are so full of it.

Come on.

War is terrifying.

I think

I’ll run away.

Where can a girl like you run to?

You don’t get it.

On the internet, I've met

a lot of foreigners, handsome ones.

I hope I could marry one...

in New Zealand,

Canada,

or Europe.

Maybe Europe.

They are all scammers. Don't fall for it.

Shit. I'm not like you.

You look like an easy mark.

Helen,

my [in Vietnamenese] vo,

[in Taiwanese] You’re my wife.

Wife...

Let me tell you.

I've thought this through.

We’ll...

You’ll marry me.

We’ll go to Vietnam together.

I'll find that pig,

and get the money,

We won't open the shop in Taiwan.

Let’s open the largest

karaoke shop

in Vietnam for you.

You'll be my queen.

Queen.

Queen. You understand?

The pig is here...

Stupid pig. Don't run away.

I'm in your shit.

Fuck!

The key to the vault.

Motherfucker. I’ve found it.

You stupid pig.

I’m breaking up with you.

Helen,

I’ve found the key to the vault.

See? With this, I'll be fine.

Bin,

why does Putin have such small eyes?

What? -I can’t see much.

Shit!

Those are the nostrils.

Call me Trump. Don't call my real name.

What are you looking at?

I'll smash you to death.

Hey, Putin boy.

Where's your torch?

Can’t see anything.

The vault.

Here I am.

It's like in a movie set.

Dream come true

Do you have to be so slow?

Hey, Putin, come and help.

God damn it.

I’ve never seen so much money.

We're loaded.

The smell of riches.

With one inhale, I become healthy.

Here. This wad is yours.

But that’s not your money.

With the money, I don’t need to be Rong's dog.

Or pig.

Yu. Give me a hand.

Okay.

Helen?

Are you ready, Helen?

Let me tell you.

Forget your luggage.

I've got money now. When we get there,

I'll buy whatever you need. Helen!

Rong.

Well. Tough work.

It's so late.

Where are you heading to work?

Nowhere.

Bin.

To be honest with you,

I consider you a pal.

The election is not looking good for me.

I believe you'll support me to the end.

Loyalty and brotherhood

are the most important qualities.

A man without

these qualities,

lives a meaningless life.

Bury these two idiots.

Bin,

did I do many bad things in my previous life?

Why do I have to know you.

I have nothing to do with Rong's business.

Aren’t you my pal?

You’re calling me your pal now?

Unbelievable.

We'll be fine.

Uncle!

Sorry. Could you help us?

[in Mandarin] We firmly believe people on both sides of the Strait are family.

We’re all family.

The city government is ready to

negotiate with Mainland China any time.

Together, we’ll build

a peaceful and prosperous future.

Da-Ma,

[in Taiwanese] Give them enough money,

Rong will definitely

win the election.

Right. Definitely win.

I thought these two were buried last night.

Don’t miss anything.

Rong, get elected!

Get elected!

Elected!

These, Bin?

Wait...

This is for Zhongzheng neighborhood.

Work closely with the neighborhood chief.

Make sure every voter gets one.

Okay.

Prosperity on both sides of the Strait!

One family on both sides of the Strait!

Peace is the common wish!

Thank you.

Hello everyone.

Legislator Zhang with his family shrine tablet here.

Please vote for him.

Fuck! His spiritual symbol.

Number one, Zhang Xiu-Rong.

Please vote for him.

Please.

Here. For you.

Don't worry. He's been taking care of my dad and us.

Two voters in my family.

Two voters in your family?

If you take them, vote for him.

I will.

Mazu is watching you.

Don’t play any tricks with me. -Don’t worry.

Don’t worry.

You take care.

Vote for number one. Thanks.

Vote for him.

Neighborhood Chief!

These two are for you.

Vote for him.

These won't be enough.

We have over 100 people in the neighborhood.

I know.

I’ll send a couple of boxes to your office.

Vote for him.

Don't worry. We are die-hard supporters

Get elected.

I feel relaxed hearing you say that.

Kagu?

Do me a favor.

Give this to your mom.

We don’t worship Mazu anymore.

I am a Christian now.

When did your family become Christians?

Kagu?

Secured.

Those uncles are all secured.

Secure your ass.

They are just saying that.

Otherwise, why would Rong's polls so far behind?

What do we do?

Fuck. How would I know?

3Q, you can't say that.

You know?

When your grandpa

was alive,

he begged for my help.

He said it’s your ancestral land.

He’d rather die than see the land

becoming part of the science park.

Your family didn't make any money out of it,

you are now blaming me?

How is this reasonable?

No, Rong.

That’s not what I meant.

That's okay. Go ask Uncle Gui.

What kind of person am I?

I do favors in return for favors I received.

What if I don’t get elected?

Helen?

My goddess,

we’re alone again.

Fuck! What are you doing?

Hey, Bin...

You laid my face on the floor and stepped on it.

Are you cursing me to lose?

No, Rong.

I’m sorry.

It was an accident.

So sorry.

You’re really a fucking gourd.

How dare you step on the boss’ face?

I’m sorry, Rong.

Don't be sorry.

I am sorry.

I am sorry about my poll results.

Tell me.

My poll results are behind that...

What's his name, that son of a bitch?

Li Bo-Jun.

Fuck! You get along with him well?

Are you on his team?

Have you been infiltrated by him?

You did this on purpose? -No. Impossible.

Tell me.

How much am I behind him?

How many percentages?

You’re very close now.

Only...

6% behind.

6%?

6% behind?

I cut your dick!

6%, only?!

If I lose,

you'd be dead.

If I want to take you out,

one bullet is enough.

You know well what I did for a living.

Helen,

do me a favor, will you?

Come. Firecrackers!

Bin won the big prize.

Get some candy.

Bin?

For everybody.

A loser like him can get the big prize?

It’s said that

Helen, the Vietnamese girl in his shop,

has the divine spirit descended onto her,

and revealed the lucky numbers to her.

She came here with him the other day,

she picked one scratch-off card,

and said this card will win $200,000.

I didn’t believe it.

But when he scratched it,

it was $200,000 for real.

That Vietnamese girl has magic fingers?

Of course. You’ve got the candy.

He also said,

you can bring your favorite thing

to exchange a wish.

Small things for small prizes.

Big things for big prizes.

Exchange whatever you want

with what you’ve got.

Do you really mean it? How’s that possible?

Of course, he means it.

Look at this proof.

200000

Open your eyes wide.

Here comes the good stuff.

Bin said one for each.

Strike it rich.

Strike it rich.

Juan,

you are here instead of the at the stand.

You've made the right choice.

Of course.

Bless you.

Come on,

ladies and gentlemen,

believe it, and you'll see it.

Goddess Helen grants your wish.

If you want to make big money,

exchange a wish with

the most precious thing you have.

If it doesn't work, it's free.

Fa is our living proof.

Hey, Bin.

Can I exchange it with my vote?

Yeah, of course.

Who should I vote for?

Whoever Goddess Helen says,

you vote for him.

Bless you.

Goddess Helen is here to bless all of you.

Stop!

To bless all fishermen.

Goddess Helen is here.

She is here.

Worship her with me.

Fly like this.

Almighty Helen.

Bow three times.

Give us an instruction, Goddess Helen.

A fortune poem?

Yes, ma’am.

Your message understood.

Everyone,

Goddess Helen will give us a fortune poem.

Give her a moment.

Here.

The first one.

"The heavenly way is peace for all."

Yes. That's great.

Yeah...

Peace.

Next...

"The heavenly star is truly bright."

Yes. That's great.

Yeah...

"The beautiful world

nurtures our family."

Bless our family."

Bless our family.

The last one.

"Prosperity and wealth

are here for all of you!"

For all of you!

“Xiu-Rong, the chosen one”

“Xiu-Rong, the chosen one”

Vote for Rong.

Guys,

vote for Xiu-rong.

Don’t forget to ask Goddess Helen

for some lucky numbers,

so that we'll be rich all the time.

Ask for it now...

Get elected, Rong!

Get elected, Rong!

Rong...

Get elected!

Get elected, Rong!

Get elected, Rong!

Rong...

Babe…

Babe…

Babe…

Am I no good any more?

Is my campaign no good any more?

Goddess Mazu,

Bodhisattva Guanyin,

Holy Lord Emperor Guan

Jesus Christ,

please.

All spirits and gods,

I beg you.

Please bless me.

I must be elected.

I beg you.

What will you exchange it with?

Anything.

Be it a car or a house,

mountains of gold or silver,

diamonds or jewelry.

As long as I can get elected,

I’ll exchange it with anything.

[in Mandarin] We see here

Wang Ming-Fang of the Democratic Party

and the incumbent Sung Chung-Jen of the Liberal Party

are in a tight race

with less than 10,000 votes in difference.

[in Taiwanese] Zhang Xiu-Rong from Fushan Village, 480.

Fuck! We’ll lose if it goes on like this.

Hey, Frog,

tell me.

Why haven’t we got the results from your ballot boxes?

What’s going on?

Don't worry, Bin.

Early votes are counted later.

I brought everyone to vote early in the morning.

The results will be out soon. Don't worry.

Don’t worry? I’ll be dead if I trust you.

Don’t worry. I’ve bet $500,000 on it.

He'll make it.

Alright.

Let me know when they open the ballots.

[in Mandarin] Those explosions affected the voter turnout in Taipei.

From the latest polls,

Wang Ming-Fang, the mayor of Taipei City…

[in Taiwanese] Goddess Mazu,

I beg you.

Please bless Zhang Xiu-Rong.

Let him win the legislative election.

I beg you.

Bless him, please.

Fushan Village.

Rong.

Cool!

Count the votes.

Come on.

More votes for Fushan Village.

Here.

Ladies and gentlemen,

we’ve won the election!

Another round of applause

for yourselves.

We worked

very hard to win

because our rival that little punk.

tried to defame Legislator Zhang

and ruin his reputation.

He had to suffer the fact that

his wife suddenly

went missing

mysteriously.

You know,

for the past four years,

Zhang cared for his beloved pig,

and he missed his wife every day.

Such excruciating pain.

Now,

let's put our hands together

for our legislator,

Zhang Xiu-Rong.

Rong, elected.

Rong. Rong. Rong.

Elected. Elected. Elected.

Where is he?

Come on, Rong!

It’s alright.

Maybe Legislator Zhang is at the back

trying to compose himself.

Let’s cheer for him again.

Zhang Xiu-Rong, elected!

Xiu-Rong. Xiu-Rong. Xiu-Rong.

Elected. Elected. Elected.

Where is he?

Why is there another pig?

Ladies and gentlemen,

a pink pig is here

to cheer for Rong too.

Cheer with me!

Go for it, Rong...

Rong...

Go for it!

Go for it, Rong...

Goddess Helen is amazing.

Worship and you get the rewards.

Guys, the Goddess is here.

Worship and you get the rewards.

(Two months later)

Strange! Where is everybody?

Why another pig?

[in Mandarin] The People’s Liberation Army announced without warning today,

to hold a military drill, Joint Sword 2025F,

in the waters around Taiwan...

[in Taiwanese] Juan? -this drill...

is for three days.

Juan? -After our presidential election,

Where is everybody? -this is China’s fifth drill around the island.

Fa?

Where are you going, Fa?

Fuck! Another pig?

What the hell?

[in Vietnamnese] Got your ticket and passport?

-Yes, of course. -Good.

[in Mandarin] Hi, Bin.

You’re all leaving?

Yeah, we’re leaving.

It’s not safe here.

[in Vietnamnese] Where's Yun? Why isn't she here?

She's in there packing up. She...

Goodbye.

[in Mandarin] You’re leaving too?

Breaking news.

The Ministry of Defense has

raised the alert to Level 3.

Meanwhile, Vietnam, the Philippines

and some other countries have announced the evacuation of their nationals.

The US expressed support for Taiwan to guard our freedom and democracy

and will not evacuate its nationals as yet.

[in Taiwanese] Bin,

I received an enlisting order.

Fuck! Me too.

Are you going?

Yeah, my whole family is here.

I can’t run away.

Let me tell you.

When they say charge, don’t be a dumbass

and charge in first.

Bring it with you.

Take it. You'd be blessed with safety.

What?

Bin.

That's enough.

I get how you feel.

Take care of yourself.

Don’t worry.

We'll go for a drink.

Yu?

Nothing.

Take care.

Helen?

[in Mandarin] I mean it.

Will you marry me?

Be my wife.

I’ll take care of you.

Let’s go to Vietnam together.

I am now really rich.

We can open whatever shop you want in Vietnam.

I want to be with you forever.

[in Taiwanese] Will you?

[in Mandarin] Yeah.

We’re newlyweds.

We’re newlyweds.

We’ve been in love for years.

I proposed many times, but Helen said no.

But because of

the coming war, we got married now.

She couldn’t bear to lose me.

It’s true love.

Next!

Is it okay?

Next.

Okay, thanks.

Let’s go.

We’re safe.

Helen?

[in Mandarin] Helen, do you hear pigs?

Motherfuckers!

Here they are again.

So scary.

Helen?

Let me tell you.

I am fortunate to have you.

Lucky that I've been in love with you.

Otherwise, we'd be in that

stupid pig village forever.

I’ll go wherever you want.

Let’s enjoy life.

Bin,

I'll take you to Vietnam.

[in Vietnamnese] Over there,

You'll eat well, dress well.

You have nothing to worry about.

You have nothing to worry about.
