The adult female requests that Jack return her to the blacksmith. On the second trip, she recants her comments stating he is too much of a wimp to kill anyone. Offended past her manner, Jack bludgeons her with the tire jack. He stores her body in an industrial freezer inside a factory building, which he purchased from a pizzeria.
In the 2nd incident, Jack cons his way into the home of a widow, Claire, then strangles and stabs her. After cleaning up, he puts her body in the back of his motorcar. Instead of leaving, his obsessive-compulsive disorder compels him to return to re-clean the crime scene multiple times, well-nigh resulting in him being caught when a suspicious police officer stops by. Jack manages to outwit the officer by pretending to be an acquaintance of Claire. He so ties Claire's body to the back of the van in a panic and drives off, dragging her body behind and creating a blood trail. It starts raining, washing away the trail, and Jack takes this as divine intervention, believing God is on his side. Jack puts her corpse in the industrial freezer. He declares himself "Mr. Composure," and begins signing bearding letters to the media with this moniker. He likewise develops a fetish for photographing his victims' corpses and begins taking greater risks as his OCD diminishes, such as impulsively hitting an old woman with his van.

He kills both sons with a burglarize before forcing the woman to have a picnic with their corpses. He ultimately kills her too. Jack and so waits for rigor mortis to gear up in on Grumpy's corpse, and proceeds to fashion it into a waving sculpture with a grisly smile.

When he drunkenly confesses to her that he has killed 60 people, she does not believe him. After he marks cherry-red circles effectually her breasts with a mark, she becomes frightened and approaches a policeman, but he dismisses her as drunkard. In her flat, Jack binds her before cutting off her breasts with a knife. He pins 1 of the breasts to the policeman's car and fashions the other into a wallet.
In the fifth incident, Jack has detained vi men in his freezer, intending to impale all of them with a single bullet. Upon realizing his ammunition has been mislabeled, he leaves and chastises the gun shop owner before visiting a friend, SP. SP phones a police force officer and Jack stabs SP through the throat. He waits for the police, so kills the officeholder. He returns to his freezer, and needing more space to focus the telescopic of his rifle, unseals a closed door inside, revealing a second chamber. Inside, he meets Verge, who reveals he has been observing Jack throughout his life and reminds him that he has never congenital the home he intended to, as Jack had fabricated several attempts to build his perfect business firm between his murders. In the freezer, Jack arranges the frozen corpses he has collected over the years into the shape of a house. As law pause in, Jack enters his "house" and follows Verge into a hole in the flooring, entering Hell.
The two accomplish a pit leading to the ninth circumvolve and centre of Hell. In the process of descending into hell, footage is shown about the Kola Superdeep Borehole, in which, co-ordinate to legend, man cries from the underworld, which Verge mentions, were heard. A cleaved span spans the pit. Jack notices a stairway on the other side of the bridge, which Verge says leads the way out of Hell.

The film's epilogue, in which Jack goes to Hell, was suggested past Von Trier'south co-writer, Jenle Hallund, and which Von Trier felt appropriate: "I thought that'southward a good idea because it'south a long fourth dimension since nosotros've really visited Hell in films. Particularly the journeying to Hell. We put it together from dissimilar conceptions, or whatever the word is, of Hell. The Elysian Fields is something from the Roman mythology. I'm quite sure that Hell doesn't look like what we accept fabricated for this pic."[13] Von Trier too stated he was inspired by Alfred Hitchcock to give the motion-picture show a "classical catastrophe" in which Jack is punished: "Somehow I felt a little Hitchcock-like at the end of the film, with Jack hanging there above the abject depths. Never let the bad guy hang on his nails, as the audience won't intendance... Psychopaths deed out of an irrational certainty that they won't be defenseless. That'southward why the ending is like it is. It would be typical for me to let him live. But then I idea well-nigh good erstwhile Hitchcock and decided that this calls for a classical ending."[13]
