- It's dad! - Gyeong-a

Daddy!

- So, did you study hard? - Did you catch a lot of butterflies?

Of course

- It's been two weeks right? - 17 days

That long?

I'm sorry honey. But this trip was a big success

- Tell me after you had a shower - OK

- Come along, Gyeong-a - OK

Honey, the university called

Why?

The director called

About your schedule for this semester

I told him I can only lecture two hours a week now

He said you can't

That catching butterflies is important...

but the university wants you to give more lectures

Honey, please call Dr. Oh in lnsadong

Why?

I found a rare one this time. Ask him to come over tonight

- Tonight? - Yes

Call the guys from biology too

- Honey, bring me a towel - OK

I should probably give a brief presentation tonight

Does it have to be tonight? You should get some rest

What's up? You don't look happy

You know why...

You're late...

- Come in - I'm sorry

Latecomers get fined

Whatever Dr. Oh says, right?

So, let's have a look

Isn't it a type of Musk butterfly?

Yes...

but the summer type is usually much larger than the spring type

Here we have a spring type as big as the summer type

This is great

- Gray Dragon Swallowtail - It's special to Korea...

but gets scarcer every year

It's the pesticides

This is a Camberwell Beauty

There's lots, but quite rare in the south

I found it in a ravine in the Jirisan

You've collected a lot

That's strange

What is it? Isn't it a wooden doll?

I wonder how that got in here

Just leave it. It's a rare species

It looks like a witch

Since when have you researched Shamanism?

I don't research Shamanism

I'm interested in psychiatric medicine

I read about these in a book

Do you believe in witches?

That's not the point

They seem to fill a gap in people's lives

How did the topic go from biology to medicine?

Where did you get that picture?

Must have been a mistake at the photo lab

This is the highlight of the trip

The Southern Blue Peacock?

I couldn't catch it. I'm just lucky I got a picture

It's acknowledged as a Korean butterfly, right?

Dr. Jo Bok-seong caught one on Jeju Island in 1955 and...

in 1966 Dr. Won Byeong-hui from Shinheung University caught one

Sadly all the samples were lost

What's up?

Over there

What?

There's nothing there

You must be seeing things

They want coffee. I'll make it

- Honey - Yes

- That picture... - What picture?

- The doll with the white makeup - Yes?

Why was it there?

Must have been a mistake at the developers

For some reason it's upset me

Like a bad omen

Forget about it. You're being oversensitive

Are you going back in three days?

I must catch that Southern Blue Peacock

I'm sorry I keep going away

It's OK

Your husband went away again?

Is he cheating on you?

I don't care how crazy he is about bugs

He's only been back for three days and now he's off back to the country

That must mean somethings wrong

My husband isn't that kind of person

You shouldn't let him go

A man who roams freely is like a runaway colt

Running into this field and that

Stop it!

Hey, you shouldn't be too confident about your husband

A 28 year old woman is the same as a 60 year old

We're already over 30 which is like being a 60 year old has-been

Based on my experience...

married women need to be very watchful

So many young, fresh girls out there...

- I thought you had to go out? - I'm in no hurry

I should go. The house is empty

- Isn't your housemaid there? - No, she's quit

It's so hard to find good help these days

Come on, I need to buy an outfit and hurry home

OK, let me get changed

- Mom - What?

- Should I plant Morning Glory here? - Sure

It's daddy!

Dad!

- Hi! - Dad

- Did you study hard Gyeong-a? - Yes

Who's she?

That's Mi-ok

I found her wandering around. She's alone

Her parents are dead so I brought her here

Mi-ok... Say hi

Welcome

The villagers said she's a hard worker

You need a housemaid, so I thought we could try her

Really? That's great

Welcome to our home. Come inside

You're happier with a housemaid than with me!

Come here. Let's find you a room

- Get me a change of clothes - It's in the closet

OK

This is your room now

I'll fix dinner so make yourself at home

Yes

What do you think?

It's hard to find a housemaid today...

so I'm not picky

I'm sure she'll be fine once she settles in

Oh, I forgot to go to the market

You are in a good mood

Why didn't you get changed?

I've no other clothes

I'm sorry, I was going to give you some of mine

You should shower first. Put that down and come here

No!

But... Do you think I'm going to steal it?

Put that down and come along. You need to get washed

This turns the shower on. OK?

I'll go and sort out some clothes

Get in the bath now. I'll take those

Oooh, it's so warm

Lie down in it

It's hot

That's to wash off all that dirt

You have a nice body. How old are you?

Nineteen

Nineteen?

You can bathe like this every day

You have such beautiful skin

Sorry!

- You should knock - You should lock the door

Gyeong-a, tell father dinner's ready

Wow, who's this?

She's beautiful, isn't she?

- So different, I can't believe it - Like a movie star

There was a beautiful girl under there

- Mi-ok, come sit with us - Please

You're tired from the drive. Go to bed early

I'll do the dishes

I'm not tired

I'll do them, you rest

- Do you like our house? - Yes, it's really nice

I think Mi-ok should stay here until she gets married

A 28 year old woman is the same as a 60 year old

We're already over 30

All those young, fresh girls out there...

I put some pyjamas in your room for you

- Honey - Yes?

- About that girl - Who?

Mi-ok

Well?

- Where did you find her? - Didn't I tell you?

- I found her in Naengol - Where's that?

A small village near Muju Gucheon-dong

- Then she's a farmer's daughter - No, she's a shaman's child

A shaman?

Her mother was a famous shaman in that area

Nobody knew who the father was

The shaman used to say she was born...

with the spirit of the Sea God's grandmother

Really?

But a fire unexpectedly broke out at the shaman's house

The shaman died in the fire...

Mi-ok barely escaped being burned alive

I don't think the villagers started the fire

I found her wandering round the burned house

- Maybe that's why? - Why what?

She's beautiful and mysterious

Must be the Sea God grandmother's spirit

Let's go to sleep

She's got a really beautiful body

You think?

- You saw her in the bathroom - Hardly

Only a glimpse

- You really didn't see? - Stop being ridiculous

I'm serious

Even a woman would be attracted by that body

Come on, turn out the lights

- Give it here! - No!

- Give it to me! - I said no!

- Give it to me - I don't want to

- I'll tell my mom - No! You can't have it

Gyeong-a, leave her stuff alone

- My doll's in there - It's not a doll

- Stop lying - I'm not lying

What is it? Let me see

No, you mustn't

Why? What is this thing I shouldn't see?

It's not a thing

It's ok. Let me see

Why is it wrapped up like this?

No one is allowed to see it

But it's...

- Where'd you get this? - It's mine

Gyeong-a, go now

You're right. It's yours

I won't take it from you. Just explain

Where did it come from?

My...

my mother gave it to me

Really?

Your mother used it as a spirit tablet?

Yes

The spirit tablet of the Sea God's grandmother protects you

Even if I die

So long as you have it you will live

Without it, you will die

Take this and leave. Go, quickly!

So this is the only thing you rescued from the fire?

Of course you must keep it. Keep it safe

Then how... How did it get in the picture?

It's gone

Aren't you happy to be in a new house?

Oh, yes...

The scenery is nice and the owners are both so kind

I'm happy that you think so too

They're rich and the house is big and really nice, right?

Yes

We're both going to live here until we die

Yes, yes. For a long time, having fun...

- Are you going to stay up all night? - Yes

I've a report to finish

I'm far behind

Do you want a late-night snack?

If I want one I'll get it. You get some sleep

By the way, what did you do with that picture?

- What picture? - Of that wooden doll

Huh? That...?

I got rid of it. Why?

Just... that it's a little strange

What is?

Mi-ok has the same doll

Really?

She said it belonged to her mother

The only thing she rescued from the fire

That's not strange

Does it worry you?

Why did you have a picture of it?

True... it's a bit weird

But these days those things have historical interest

People collect them, take pictures of them...

It probably got mixed in

What are you doing?

- Oh, it's you! - Why are you still up?

Where did you go?

I wanted some fresh air so I went for a walk

I thought I heard something so I came downstairs

I'll be up all night...

so you don't have to worry about someone breaking in

Go back to bed

Gyeong-a, hurry up, I'm going

Bye, mom

What's wrong? Are you sick?

I didn't sleep, so I have a bit of a headache

I'll be fine

You look tired. You should take care of yourself

See you later

What are you doing? You should be cleaning

Yes, I'm going to

- Hello - Hello

- You look very tired - Really?

Are you pregnant again?

I have a slight headache, that's all

Do you often have headaches?

I'm having trouble sleeping

- I'll give you some tranquilizers - I feel dizzy too

That sometimes happens when you're stressed

What's the occasion? You're home early

When did you get back?

There was a sports event so classes were cancelled

Hey

Yes?

Why are you dressed like that? I can see your breasts

Leave her alone. You gave that to her

It's all in how you wear it. She looks slutty

She seems slow, but actually she's quite smart

How do you know?

I asked her to fetch my butterfly specimens...

she brought me Grey Dragon Swallowtail...

and Luehdorfia puziloi. Even experts can't tell them apart

How did she know?

She must have learned watching me

Anyway she's really smart

Hey...

- Hey, Mi-ok! - Yes

Come down here

Where did you get this?

- Why is this in your room? - Well...

This is my husband's so what's it doing in your room?

What's all the fuss about?

This was in Mi-ok's room. What's going on?

- What do you mean? - Why was this in her room?

It's broken so I threw it out

What?

Mi-ok probablyjust picked it up

You found this in the garbage?

Yes

You're getting mad about nothing. Throw it out

- Go and clean upstairs - Yes

Anything wrong?

Did you have to open the door so loudly?

- The door made a noise? - Clean the sewing machine!

Seon-hui!

Hi

Why did you ask me to come over?

Let's go inside

You don't look so good

So what's up then?

I've got a problem

What is it?

- My husband's acting strangely - What?

It started after he brought home Mi-ok, a housemaid

- Mi-ok? - Let me finish...

You really think your husband would do that?

He could always cheat on you outside the house

Why would he bring her home?

Doesn't it seem unlikely?

If that was already part of their plan...

that's even more scary

There's nothing scarier than doubting someone

There's something else

What?

He doesn't touch me these days

He says he has to write his thesis and sleeps in the spare room

He probably is writing his thesis

I'm about to go crazy

The moment you start to doubt someone...

you start to get paranoid

Then everything seems suspicious

Once you reach that stage, you feel you're the victim...

and you start to attack the other person

Have you thought of seeing a psychiatrist?

Are you crazy?

It's no big deal these days going to a psychiatrist

I don't want to hear it!

You're worrying over nothing. I'm going now

I'll stop by soon. Don't worry so much

Alright

That's her?

- I don't think she's that pretty - She's got a great body

Because you're so skinny. It's all relative

You think?

- You don't have to walk me out - OK, stay safe

Honey... Honey!

Honey!

Are you awake?

You recognize me?

- Are you awake? - Get your dirty hands off me!

What's up with you?

You're no better than an animal!

- What the... - Get out!

You dirty hypocrite!

Stop this

What's going on?

- Why are you like this? - You really want to know?

Why did you go into Mi-ok's room? What did you do in there?

- What? - You think I didn't see?

I watched through the keyhole

I know you go to her room every night

That's enough!

Maybe... you had a nightmare?

What's that?

I was on the second floor

I heard a thud downstairs so I ran down there

You were out cold by Mi-ok's room

What's going on?

Saying all these filthy things

How can you do this to me?

Honey, what are you talking about?

These days, you're always so on edge

Maybe we should see a psychiatrist?

Never!

Then stop taking these!

Don't just stay inside. Go out and get some fresh air

I'm off now

Have a good day

What the...

I'm so sorry. Are you alright?

What are you doing?

It must have slipped. I'm sorry

I need to talk to you

Was I seeing things last night?

No. I'm certain I saw them together

Are you alright?

When I fainted last night where were you?

I was asleep

You were asleep?

I was asleep when I heard a noise

When I woke up...

I heard your husband run downstairs...

calling out to you

I was scared so I went outside...

and you were lying there unconscious

Shouldn't you go to hospital?

I'm fine

Why do you always carry that around?

If I don't Gyeong-a steals it

Also, my mother said I should always have it with me

It protects me

Alright, go do your work

Madame... I'm very sorry

She's possessed by the Sea God grandmother's spirit

Mom, have you seen my teddy bear?

Teddy bear?

I'm going to use it to fight Mi-ok's doll

- Gyeong-a, come here - Why?

- Don't touch Mi-ok's doll - Why?

It's her doll so don't even think about it

Sleep with me tonight

I can't. I need to do my homework

Why are you up so late?

We've no barley tea so I'm making some

You should do that before we run out

Should I make coffee for your husband?

No, I'll do it

ls that my coffee?

- Honey - Oh, it's you...

I thought...

you'd gone to bed already

- Honey - What?

Let's fire her

Who? Mi-ok?

Why? Isn't she doing a good job?

It's not that...

It's not easy finding a housemaid these days...

so we should keep her

For some reason I'm scared

Listen... I told you to stop thinking like that

Do whatever you want

If it bothers you so much, let her go

No, you're right. I'll go make you some coffee

Good idea

You're not so well these days. You need Mi-ok to help out

Open the door! I said open the door!

Hang on

- Who are you trying to kill? - What?

Who are you trying to kill?

- Kill what? - You did that on purpose

You left the gas on to try and kill me?

- I turned it off - You turned it off?

The gas is off but it's leaking? Come here!

Look... see?

Oh... Why is it on?

Does that look off to you? Who were you trying to kill?

Ah, so you have to turn it this way to turn it off

Can gas really kill someone?

What? Do you know what you're saying?

- I didn't know - I can't believe this...

She pretends to be an idiot to try and kill me

Honey... Open the door

What's going on?

Mi-ok is trying to kill me

- What? - I'm sure she's trying to kill me

- This again... - I tell you, it's true

This morning she dropped a vase from the balcony

Just now she left the gas on and tried to kill me

I'm telling you the truth. I'm so scared

Help me...

Hello. ls this Dr. Kim in Psychiatry?

This isn't 92-8982? I'm sorry

Stop! Who are you calling?

I think you need treatment

I'm fine. Why should I get treated?

You've been suffering from extreme paranoia

I don't want to do this...

but you need help

I made a mistake. I imagined things for no reason

I don't want to go. There's nothing wrong with me

I'll take you to Dr. Kim's house myself

Let's see what he says

- There's nothing wrong with me - Then why are you like this?

I don't know

I tell you... I'm going to go crazy

She sleeps with him every night

And plans to kill me

How?

I told you

She dropped a vase from the balcony and left the gas on

An accident?

She's just disguising them as accidents

But you said she wasn't very smart

She pretends to be stupid while plotting murder

She has the Sea God grandmother's spirit inside her

It doesn't make sense. That's just your imagination

You too...

You think I'm crazy too?

Only because what you're saying is absurd

No! You don't understand

Everything that's happening to me is because of that wooden doll

It can't be explained with modern science

That shot in my husbands slides

Then she brought that evil spirit doll into our house

Then all these things started to happen

I'm not insane

My husband wants to send me to a mental institution

If I go there this house will become their heaven

And the evil spirits in that doll will kill my husband and Gyeong-a

I know it

That's why I'm fighting her

That's why she's trying to kill me

Eun-yeong, won't you help me?

So, how can I help?

Let me stay here for a few days

No

That's what they want

Maybe you could stay at my house for a few days?

There's only one thing I can do to help you

What?

Make you get a psychiatric evaluation

You too...

You're not thinking straight

Let's go right now

No! I'm normal

Nobody believes me

But it's all true

Evil spirits are invading our home

I need to fight back to save my family

Honey!

- When did you get home? - Just now

Why is she sleeping here?

Hey, Mi-ok, wake up

I must have fallen asleep

I need to do some work. Make me some coffee

Yes. Do you want some too?

- There's cream in this? - Your husband doesn't take any

Think I'm going to drink this?

You think I don't know?

Do what you want... have your fun

- Hey! - Yes

Why were you upstairs so long?

He wanted me to find him some butterflies

Why is your button missing?

It got caught on a nail as I was taking out the box

Really? Come with me

Look up there. Why is it so dirty?

Tidy up the room and clean the windows

OK

I will fight her

Chase away the evil spirits from our house

Honey, hurry and get out here

We need to call the police

No...

I don't believe this

Whenever she cleaned the window she leaned on it

I always told her to be careful but she wouldn't listen

It seems that the rain rotted the window frame

Sorry we bothered you unnecessarily

Recently there's been many people falling down stairs

Good bye

One last thing...

Yes?

Did Mi-ok have any reason to want to kill herself?

No. Why do you ask?

Just making a note of it

I can't lose. I'm going to fight till the end

If I lose my home will be destroyed

Mom, look what I found

- Look mom - What's all the fuss about?

This

Where did you find it?

In the garden

What?

Throw it away now

What's all the fuss about?

A few days ago I threw this out but she brought it back

This brings evil spirits. That's why Mi-ok is dead

Try to invade my home, you'll never succeed

Begone, evil spirits!

Hello

Hello...

Hello!. ..

Honey... honey?

- Tell me what's wrong - The evil spirits are back

Listen to me very carefully

You have a serious illness

This is just like a disease

Believing in evil spirits is a sickness

Such things can't exist in a modern society

Even if they do they won't be in that doll

There are many of those stupid dolls in this world

Fine... let's say that doll is possessed by evil spirits

Will throwing it away erase them from your mind?

No matter how far you throw it...

until those paranoid thoughts are gone...

it won't go away

If so, it's better to keep it close by and fight it

Let's see if there really are evil spirits in here

That's how to treat your paranoia

I'm going to leave this here so don't move it

If you throw it away again I'll be very angry

Got it?

Let's send Gyeong-a to her grandmother's

I'm on a field trip for four days

- Drive carefully - I will

- Bye, mom - Bye

Eun-yeong? It's me

Can you come over tonight?

My husband's away and Gyeong-a is at her grandmother's

Please come. I'll be waiting

Hello? Why aren't you here?

Why?

I can't go out, it's raining...

and Hwang said he was coming over

Sorry

Hello...

Come out! Come out, damn you!

Come out you devil! I said come out!

Honey, honey!

THE END
