Original subtitles

Then, I took it out.

Its size was

about this big.

It was nice yellow with many holes.

It looked so good.

I carried it around in my arms.

Then I saw a girl sitting on the street with her younger sibling on her back.

I could tell they were starved.

Their faces were yellow,

and the younger one's body was limp

with no energy to cry.

So I turned away to eat it.

But I ended up giving it to them.

Since I had it in my arms all day,

it must have been warm.

That nice castella.

It'd be the last one

I could ever have in my life.

They were devouring it.

She was shoving it in the younger one's mouth.

Would God remember that?

It was 30 years ago.

For sure.

That's His specialty.

Right.

Remember you played the pipe for me?

Can you play that one more time?

You know how to do cardiac massage?

Do it.

Stop.

Again.

Two hundred joules.

Charge.

The ones who want to connect with God tend to have self-hatred

and unknowingly seek for misfortune.

They're quite vulnerable to demons.

Just like Saint Bruno said, suicide is to die a martyr for Satan.

It's the worst sin among murders.

It's like a life sentence in hell.

Say 20 Hail Marys, get plenty of sunlight,

and take a cold shower.

Take God's gift of science.

Talk to a psychiatrist and take antidepressants.

Please stop thinking of suicide.

And forget about him, he's gone. Please.

Father.

I'll take care of my relationships and other businesses.

You just sit there and pray for me.

Could you ask the bishop to send me to Emmanuel labs, please?

I heard it's not approved by the Vatican.

Sarah died on Monday.

She had surgery eight times.

Hyo-seong's been in a coma since yesterday.

It's painful to see people die like this.

No one knows what's going on in that laboratory.

I want to save people.

My gosh.

I told you to go to medical school since you were young.

It would've been great to check my eyes if you became an ophthalmologist.

Father.

-Can I go to Emmanuel Lab-- -Hey.

Let's stop chatting and give the formula of absolution.

I told you to do your confessions.

Hello, I'm sorry to leave all of you without a proper goodbye.

It was such a last minute vacation.

I packed everything I could,

but everyone says I won't need a thing.

Because the hotel provided by the church is so nice.

I'm happy I became a priest in times like this.

In your name, I pray that Jesus Christ will allow me the following.

Like a leper rotting in the flesh, let all avoid me.

Like a cripple with no limbs, let me not move freely.

Remove my cheeks that tears may not roll down them.

Crush my lips and tongue so that these don't commit sin.

Pull out all of my nails so that I may be unable to grab even the tinniest things.

Let my shoulders and back be crooked so that I cannot lift anything.

Do not let me think straight as if I'm a patient with brain tumor.

Put my body part that has been kept pure to shame

so that it would not be proud.

Let me stay in humiliation.

Don't let anyone pray for me.

May only Jesus Christ's mercy have pity on me.

It has already been a month.

The scenary out the window is so phenominal

and it let me forget about TV.

The hotel owner gave me a room with a view and told me I was handsome.

Thanks to her, my skin got so tan and it's even peeling...

Time of death, 3:31 p.m.

In your name, I pray that Jesus Christ will allow me the following.

Like a leper rotting in the flesh, let all avoid me.

Like a cripple with no limbs...

Look, look at his skin.

Father, please hold my hand.

Please pray for me.

Father, my five-year-old girl has leukemia.

PLEASE PRAY FOR US

You're saying people come to us

to beg for a prayer from the bandaged man.

What a rumor.

I heard there were some who got healed.

It could be psychologica.

Since you're the only one survived out of 50 applicants.

Isn't that so?

-You're lucky! -You're lucky!

I envy you.

Look at him.

Are you the only survivor out of 500?

My kid has cancer!

Would you pray for him?

It's just a psychological effect.

I can't do anything.

Channel nine isn't working.

Let's pray, son.

What?

By any chance,

didn't you live in Busan?

We're gathered here praying for Gang-u Lee.

He was born out of Your love.

He has a soft-heart where he can't even pass by

a wounded animal on the street.

Please have mercy on him.

I pray in Jesus' name.

-Amen. -Amen.

Come on.

I don't believe in this stuff

but since you're my friend, I let you do it.

Hey, now I think I recognize you.

I'm sorry, you're still a priest.

I'm sorry, Father.

You used to come over for noodles.

Fifth grade, right?

You lived at the church orphanage, right?

My son was so kind-hearted

that he was so good to the orphans too.

Wasn't he?

Your sister was so shy and ran out whenever I came over.

She had calluses on her feet

and Gang-u made me touch them.

Her parents rented a small room in our house.

Her father was a high school drop out.

This is my blood shed for you so that sins may be forgiven.

One snowy spring day,

they left her in my room and said they'd be back soon.

But they never came back.

HAPPY CLASSIC BOUTIQUE

So I took the three-year-old in

and raised her like a daughter and a puppy.

She'd call me "Mommy" too.

HAPPY HANBOK

I'm her mommy-in-law now.

Marriage is no big deal.

She just moved from sleeping in my bed to Gang-u's.

Why'd you buy the laver at that place again, Mom?

I told you it's no good

and the owner is a cocksucker.

You hate it that much?

No, it's not that.

I'm sensitive to smell these days.

I suddenly got a whiff of blood.

Gang-u's home.

-Mom, I think I caught a cold. -What?

Sang-hyeon, you came early.

I told you to wear your long johns.

-We're here, too. -Welcome.

How are you?

My friend the priest.

This is our dam construction manager and his wife.

It's an honor, Father. I'm Yeong-du.

She's a Filipina, so she's Catholic.

Say hello, Evelyn.

Tae-ju!

How have you been?

Here comes the police chief.

Please, stop calling me that.

I quit the force a long time ago.

He's the security head. This is Father Hyeon.

-Hello. -Do you like fishing?

Get on his good side and you can fish there though its banned.

Daytimes are a bit tricky. Come by at nights.

Have a seat, Father.

Yes, please.

Koreans don't appreciate mahjong.

Would you like to play, Father?

I don't know how to play.

Did I tell you about Father Hyeon praying for Gang-u?

I was standing right next to my son.

Suddenly, I felt something hot come down on my head.

I felt tingly all over

like someone was poking me with needles.

Oh my.

Then my boy said

"Mom, it feels hot right here."

Then the cancer vanished.

It vanished?

You always feel tingly because of your blood pressure.

But I did a biopsy just in case.

What?

Your first endoscope showed

it was esophagus cancer.

Women shouldn't get sedated endoscopes.

Doctors secretly molest them.

I win.

Three closed triplets.

That's eight points.

Mrs. Ra.

Can we turn the heater down?

But I'm cold.

Thank you.

Gang-u says he's cold!

I'm losing so much.

Thank you very much.

Okay.

What's with me today?

Instead of the hot water bag.

I'm going down to get the lights in the store.

Okay, let's do it.

HAPPY CLASSIC BOUTIQUE

Don't you love our mahjong gang?

Wednesdays. Mercury. Water.

Oasis. How's that for our gang's name?

My God.

Pull out all of my nails...

HAPPY CLASSIC BOUTIQUE

She's Veronica, a Catholic.

She was in a bad hit-and-run.

Lost a lot of blood.

She's still conscious though.

Let this water call to mind your baptismal sharing.

In Christ's redeeming passion and resurrection.

Veronica.

Make your confession.

I confess...

By the power the apostolic see has given me

in the name of the Father, the son, and the holy spirit,

I grant you a plenary indulgence and...

pardon for all your sins. Amen.

Through this holy anointing,

may the lord in his love and mercy help you

with the grace of the holy spirit.

And

may the Lord free you from sin,

save you,

and lighten your suffering with mercy.

Amen.

Where did you wander off to this time?

I woke up and I was at the pharmacy.

And some man walked past.

Aren't there pills for sleepwalking?

I should lock your room from the outside.

Should've got me pills for my cold.

Wasn't it cold?

You never even catch a cold.

She's a yeti, Mom.

Smells like when you had gastritis.

I'll go find the pills.

Must you do this to believe me?

Don't grab my heart so hard.

I drank Hyo-seong's blood

and the blisters disappeared.

It's as if the vampire cells suppressed the disease.

But it doesn't last very long.

Father.

I didn't choose the blood that was transfused into me.

You know I went there to do good.

Now, I thirst after all sinful pleasures.

But how can I get human blood without killing?

First,

the lord said not to worry about what to eat.

For he feeds even the birds in the sky.

Here.

I think I won.

My goodness.

Small four winds.

Closed, half flush, bonus three points.

28,000 won. You lose!

Is he from Macao or something?

He's the only one who survived out of 500.

Five hundred, my ass.

HAPPY CLASSIC BOUTIQUE

When did you go out?

I didn't see you pass by.

It's a kind of an infectious disease.

Scary, isn't it?

You look so different without your glasses.

How can you get infected?

Not through a kiss for sure.

I never kissed anyone in my life.

Until now.

I don't get shy.

I didn't run out because I was shy.

When I was young, back in Busan,

it was because I was sick of everything.

The mom, idiot son,

and the dark, damp house.

The nonstop weepy, old songs.

I waited for you to come.

You were just an orphanage boy,

I would look out the window

when I was young.

Because the idiot liked you.

When you came, he left me alone.

I'm not a shy person.

I run out on my bare feet

to escape from this hell sooner.

I even run out from my sleep.

They think I'm sleepwalking.

I feel awake only then

and asleep the rest of the time.

Honey!

Tae-ju!

Hot water bag!

Tae-ju?

Tae-ju!

You bitch!

There she goes again.

I fed you and raised you!

-You know that? -Go put her to bed!

You can't even change your husband's hot water bag?

How dare you!

-I win. -What?

-Let go! -My gosh.

You have stomach troubles?

What took you so long?

Eat up other's money and you'll get diarrhea.

What's got into you?

This looks fun.

So exciting to touch.

I could do it all night, too.

You don't even know how to do it.

Me?

I know how to do it.

I'm good.

They are on fire.

I can't wait till next Wednesday.

Then how about Sundays, too?

Why not?

Well...

It's Easter Sunday. I'm staying at the hospital.

It's best to leave things in wanting.

-Mom. -Yeah.

You know.

Yeah?

I don't want to live like this anymore.

I...

want to help the needy.

Maybe I can volunteer at a hospital or something.

On Sundays.

Thanks for coming.

Don't ever come again.

But I came to help the needy.

Its a bigger sin for a priest.

I'm not even Catholic.

To me, you're just a needy, single man.

We can both go to hell for this.

I don't have faith. I'm not going to hell.

But...

I have a terrible disease.

I'm too damn healthy.

Just once, I wish I could be sick in bed.

It's okay.

Hyo-seong is a nice guy,

but he's in a coma.

Unless his vitals drop, no one will come in here at nights.

Sorry, I hurt you.

No,

its good.

It's strange, but good.

Is it supposed to feel this good?

What's wrong with me?

Are other women like this?

Am I a pervert?

Did you eat?

Oh, yes.

Can we meet during the day next week?

Daytimes are a bit difficult.

We could be together longer.

I don't want to keep my disease a secret from you.

I am...

a kind of a...

I don't kill anyone, you know.

About Hyo-seong,

he loved helping the hungry.

He'd offer me his blood, if he wasn't in a coma.

If you only heard the sponge cake story.

No one blames someone for getting hurt in an accident.

No one gets criticized for having cancer.

I went there to do good!

So what if I'm a vampire?

Tae-ju, did you like me because I'm a priest?

Its not that, is it? That's just my job.

Being a vampire is like having different palates

or different life patterns.

Don't you think?

When two people are in love, does it really matter?

No, what I mean is...

You hate that I'm a vampire?

Think I could've slept with you if I wasn't?

How could I have sex with you?

As just a priest?

Come with me.

I'll take you away from this hell.

You liked doing it with me. Gang-u's no fun.

Tae-ju?

What's going on?

The toilet's not flushing.

It's going down now.

Closing time.

Hello?

How can

someone become a vampire?

Can you catch it through sex?

Can you turn me into one?

Vampires are

cuter than I thought.

Can you bend this?

What for?

Can you jump down from here?

Is it too high?

I'm ready.

Did Gang-u do that?

Does he hurt you often?

Not often.

Want me to rip him up like that coin?

I lived

as their dog my whole life.

Feeding the idiot, washing him,

and even helping him masturbate.

You know.

I'm practically a virgin.

He's...

Does it hurt?

It hurts, right?

Can't you volunteer somewhere else?

Mental hospitals are so scary.

Isn't it?

Drink it.

Can't you go back to the lab

to find out the cause?

Ask if there's any way for a cure?

Sunlight is bound to hit me on my way there.

Sunlight.

I wish I can see the sunrise over the sea before I die.

What are you thinking?

Vampires can't see the sunlight.

I don't care if it's at night.

The moon, the stars,

and even a firefly.

I don't care you're a vampire.

Make the blind see.

Please give me some of your blood.

It even killed the disease, EV!

Please, Sang-hyeon.

I said I'm okay with it.

Sang-hyeon.

Father Hyeon.

It's really fine.

Just a little bit, please?

I'm no longer a priest nor a friar.

Forget the rules. Forget the Vatican.

It's none of my business now.

I don't know why you wandered astray.

But I know you'll get through this.

I took pity on you when you were young.

We had you over for noodles.

You can stay here as long as you want.

You understand?

Thank you.

Tae-ju...

She could act cold,

but she's really warm-hearted.

I'm giving the shop

and everything to her.

Did I do it too hard?

It's perfect.

One more time, then?

Good night.

Sweet dreams.

Hurry and get out.

Hurry.

Go.

Someone will see you.

No. Don't.

Remember Tae-ju when she was young?

Wasn't she cute?

When she was twelve,

she woke me up and showed me her panties.

Said she peed blood.

She said she'd die because she took too many weird pills.

We hugged each other and cried all night.

What are we waiting for?

-Planning on taking all night? -What?

It's only 9:00 p.m.

The hospital and police questioning will take hours.

What if the sun comes up?

I said, no!

Just a little bit?

They'll find out with an autopsy.

I thought about it a lot.

Why go somewhere else for blood?

We have blood right here.

Put the knife down.

Yeah, put it down.

No! Don't come near me!

Tae-ju!

We have an injured, unconscious female here.

We'll be going soon. Please prepare.

-Check it out quick! -Yes, sir!

How did that go?

It's just not possible because it's too dark right now.

Don't mention

that I let you fish here.

I'll take care of everything.

Father Hyeon is here.

He became ill again for our sins.

Grant me the following

in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Like a leper rotting in the flesh, let all avoid me.

Like a cripple with no limbs,

let me not move freely.

Remove my cheeks

that tears may not roll down them.

There was a house at the bottom of the lake.

A submerged village.

I thought he was drown and dead.

But when I went up, he'd float up again and again.

So I put him in a closet in the house

and a big rock on his chest.

What if he comes out and chases me?

I should've put a rock at the closet door, too.

Death is the end. Right, Father?

You die and that's it?

See?

Vampires are not immortal.

You still want my blood?

You want to see this dark world that badly?

You live on other's blood

but won't give me a drop of yours.

Give me absolution and I'll give it to you.

Merciful Father,

You saved the world through the death and resurrection of the Son.

And sent the Holy Spirit among us for the forgiveness of sins.

Through the ministry of the Church, may God give you pardon and peace.

And I absolve you from your sins in the name of the Father,

of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Let us praise the Lord.

The Lord's mercy endures forever.

The Lord has forgiven your sins.

In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

I pray to Tae-ju.

Tae-ju,

please wake up and listen to my prayer.

I said Gang-u was drunk from a bottle of soju,

so say the same to the cops.

When this is all over, we will be together.

We must not meet for a while.

Though my face may seem cold and rigid,

my heart only beats for you.

When we meet again,

I believe we'll finally be happy.

Father Hyeon.

Doing it this way,

I feel like I am not dying but living inside you.

-Stop all the... -Thinking.

The police needs the body to close the case.

Mrs. Ra.

Gang-u couldn't swim.

You need to move on with your life.

Gang-u can swim.

Father Hyeon's still not taking calls?

It must've been a big shock.

Still, he could've come to the funeral.

Gang-u!

Gang-u!

I'm Sang-hyeon, ma'am.

I know I'm all wet.

My poor baby.

What took you so long?

Why didn't you call?

Bastard! You son of a bitch!

You bastard!

-Oh my! -Mrs. Ra!

-Wake up, Mrs. Ra! -Bring some water!

My goodness.

Mrs. Ra, drink this.

This is why we should all watch our blood pressures.

Watch our drinking.

And stay away from salty foods.

Let's give Mrs. Ra our positive energy, oasis-style.

We should cheer her up.

Starting with Tae-ju.

Mom.

How long has it been?

Why are you so wet?

What?

Is there a leak?

Why is it so damp?

Come here and don't bother.

It's all psychological.

Stop making a fuss and will you come here?

Was he here, too?

He? Who?

Don't fall for it.

It's all just an illusion.

Of course.

It's just psychological.

Are you leaving?

How can someone do it five times, straight?

Mom never once threw me a birthday party.

How dare you.

But she always gave me plenty to eat.

Then thank her.

Thank you.

You know.

Can't you go see that detective?

Aren't you thirsty these days?

I'll throw you a birthday party this year.

Really? The first birthday party in my life?

But I don't know

when my birthday is.

But who made you boss?

Telling me this and that and hitting me around.

Gang-u never laid a hand on me.

Did Gang-u beat you or not?

Why does that matter?

That's why he died.

Don't make excuses.

You would've killed him anyway.

So you can have me for yourself.

Do you know how hard I tried

not to kill people?

You can't even begin to imagine.

A bloodthirsty beast is growling inside me.

But I tiptoed around, afraid I might hurt anyone.

I killed him because of you.

To save you.

To save me?

Then why am I living a nightmare?

I stay up trembling at the thought

of your cold hand touching me.

How did this happen?

Mom.

Mom.

I'm done for.

He's going to kill me.

Poor Gang-u.

No, you're the poorest, Mom.

You treated that devil like a son and this is what you get?

Did I do it alone?

-It was-- -Your idea.

No, it was his idea.

He said he'll kill the mother and the son.

I'm not lying!

I'm sorry. Please forgive me.

We were a happy family of three till you infested us.

You're a germ!

You said I was cute, you cunt.

Mommy.

Wake up.

You can't die like this.

Mommy.

Tell me you forgive me.

Mom, look at me.

If you forgive me, blink once.

Just one blink? Please?

Just once?

Just once, please?

Let's go.

That devil will suck all the blood out of you, too!

Let go!

Let go!

Stay back!

You devil!

I want to go to Gang-u.

Kill me, please.

You want to go?

Go to your husband?

Really?

Happy birthday, Tae-ju.

Make it completely white.

Just like daylight.

That's a good girl.

Well done.

From now on,

we wear shoes inside the house like in the States.

Because I'm in charge now.

You have to sleep during the day, too.

And eat at night...

Did you just move?

Watch TV while I'm out.

A scary movie is going to be on.

I'm not ashamed at all!

I told you I'll get the blood.

Stealing from the hospital?

-There's more. -What?

I'm helping people who want to commit suicide.

I know many people like that from listening to confessions.

If I run out, I'll find more through the internet.

They face death

more peacefully if I help them.

If they just give it to you, what fun is that?

It tastes much better this way.

How many has to die for your taste?

Maybe

around 500? How's that, Father?

I told you I'm not a priest anymore!

Oh dear,

Father is mad.

Stop acting so humane.

You're not even human.

Then what are we?

We're human-eating beasts.

Is it a sin for a fox to eat a chicken?

Don't make me regret saving you.

Kill me or save me,

you'll regret either way.

Let's break up now.

You drop me like that

because I wanted to break up?

You're the only one I've got now.

HAPPY HANBOK

Hey, come out quick.

Hey, come out quick.

You said women are safe from EV.

Your blood is completely mixed with mine.

Then,

I'm no longer a woman?

Hang in there.

I'll get a doctor.

Hello.

Hello--

Tae-ju.

What day is it today?

The eyes are so telling.

They can express everything

between yes and no.

How do you communicate with just a yes and a no?

You need a subject and verb to communicate.

The subject is what's being stared at.

If you stare at something for over four seconds,

others will automatically turn to look, too.

Is that a published study?

I haven't had the chance to yet.

I'm an expert at reading the eyes after two years of marriage.

That's why her Korean's not improving.

Can you tell what Mom's saying?

That's what I'm talking about.

Tae-ju just saw me peek over at Mrs. Ra.

She knew what I was going to say, before I said it.

By glancing at my eyes.

Mrs. Ra said I'd win

if I took this piece.

And that she wants some vodka.

Vodka.

I win.

Closed, self-draw, bonus three points, big three dragons.

See that?

Thank you,

Mrs. Ra.

You want to play that bad?

Oh, right.

How about teaming her up with Evelyn?

If you blink, it means "yes."

A long blink means "no."

Okay?

Blink if you understand.

Throw it away.

Mrs. Ra is back.

Evelyn? Vodka.

"D."

"D"?

"D," what?

Is she moving her finger?

What's wrong with her nail?

Wait.

"L."

-"L"? -"L," it's another letter.

-What? -What is it?

What?

"L, D."

Or "D, L"?

"D" comes last, "L, D."

Maybe she wants the LCD on?

There's probably a C somewhere.

"C."

"C."

Found it.

"Kill"?

"Kill all"?

She definitely killed it all in this round.

"D" comes last.

"Killed All."

Mrs. Ra, is it "Kill all," right?

She says, no.

Then

"KLD"? "Killed"?

Am I right?

See?

It's "Killed."

Whatever, let's keep playing.

-Whose turn is it? -Wait.

Killed who?

Mahjong brings back memories of Gang-u?

Mom, it's not your fault.

He didn't die because of you.

Stop playing and go to bed.

Tae-ju's so strong.

Mrs. Ra, stop torturing yourself.

Look at me.

It was an accident. It was no one's fault.

No one killed Gang-u.

It's not like Tae-ju and Sang-hyeon killed…

Selfish humans.

Bastards coming to play mahjong

with a grieving family.

What?

Why you little shit.

I'm leaving,

because shit smells, not scares.

Honey! No!

Yeong-du.

Yeong-du?

Stop it.

You easy-blood drinking coward.

It's because he's dead

and the heart stopped pumping.

Cut off the ankles

and hang them over the bathtub

and let gravity do the rest.

We can put the blood in tupperware and keep it in the fridge.

I thought of using a motor pump

but this works best.

Sucking a little and throwing the body away

is treating life too lightly, isn't it?

Evelyn.

How could I have made

all those kimbaps without you?

It's over now.

Happy?

Tae-ju. Listen to me carefully.

Why do I have to run away?

From my own house?

Won't they search the house when they find the four people missing?

They'll barge into the house without dusting off their shoes.

If they open the wardrobe

and the curtains in daylight,

then we'll die?

What are you doing?

You already had your fill.

Where are we going?

Where are we going?

The sun's coming up!

What?

What was it?

There.

Oh my.

My...

Didn't you have your fill from Evelyn?

I wanted to live with you forever and ever.

Together again in hell then.

When you're dead,

you're dead.

It's been fun, Father.
