I thought they'd call the matre d'

and kick me out,

but what do you know?

They were amused I'd spend a month's pay

on one dignified meal.

They started calling me 'Count'

and taught me manners to go with the name.

Frankly, I'm not that interested

in money itself.

What I desire is, how shall I put it...

The manner of ordering wine

without looking at the price?

Something like that.

Fourteen hours by train from Vladivostok

is the summer home of

a genuine Russian noble family.

Shall we marry there?

In a few days I'll hear from the hospital.

That my wife Fujiwara Hideko has died.

You didn't just ask them to keep her?

I doubt Sookee would want

to live there very long.

F***!

I arranged it with a photography studio.

We'll replace this with your photograph.

From tomorrow, we'll

give Sookee a new life.

I'm glad.

Marry me once again.

This time as Nam Sookee.

You want another wedding night?

I think I like you... slightly.

Poor Sookee, in a place like that

all by herself...

Did such a thought ever cross your mind?

Not at all. Why should I pity her?

Where I come from, it's

illegal to be naive.

Where you come from, it's not naive

to fall in love with a business partner?

Of course. It's illegal.

So even if my love for

you leads me to ruin,

don't pity me.

Love?

What does a crook know about love?

Fire!

C... c... come this way!

This way!

Because you desired me,

and overcame all obstacles to reach me,

I have been born anew, it's true.

I'm grateful for that.

I'll allow a kiss.

No.

Why not?

I don't like kisses with conditions.

I never learned how to stop halfway.

After this I'll thrust

in deep, to your navel.

Please do that.

Those aren't the eyes of one who wants it.

You know you can't deceive

me in such matters.

If I could be yours for ten minutes,

what would you give in exchange?

Whatever your heart desires.

Anything in this whole wide world.

There's much I want to teach you.

You'll become a completely new woman.

It won't hurt. You know from those books?

In truth, women feel the greatest pleasure

when taken by force.

Now I'm going to rip your underwear.

Would you fetch those for me?

"Respected Uncle,

"it always pained

me to see you straining

"to speak flawless Japanese

before the Count from Nagoya,

"and even to quiver

your voice like a nobleman.

"So I'm happy to inform you that

you no longer need do so.

"That man is the son

of a Korean farmhand.

"Oh, did my gift arrive safely?

"Please tell this

to my gift, in Korean.

"I'm afraid that in real life,

"no woman feels pleasure

at being taken by force.

"But, for sending me Sookee out of

all the girls in the world,

"I feel "slightly" grateful."

You wished to see my bookmaking tools?

Don't just look, experience

them for yourself.

I'll choose five books that I cherish...

...that I used to cherish

more than anything.

Let's see...

First,

'Confessions of a Whip'

'The Lizard Skin'

'Decadent Girls Who Sell Lingerie'

May I please smoke a cigarette, sir?

...Sir.

'Bells and Balls'

'The Mortician's Bedroom'

How could you let a little girl fool you?

But don't worry. I'll

catch them for you soon.

I arranged so that no two girls travelling

together can leave Kobe.

Please change the

destination to Shanghai.

Changing two tickets,

from Vladivostok to Shanghai.

Yes, that's correct.

Show me your passports.

Miss Nam Sookee?

Mr. Go Pandol?

You need to pay an additional 3 yen.

All right.

I'm just an old man who

likes dirty stories.

Even listening to the same story,

people imagine different things.

Peering into each of those fantasies

was this old man's humble recreation.

What to do, now that it's all over?

You should at least tell me your story.

How did that b*tch Hideko taste?

Was she fully ripe? Tell me.

A cigarette might help my memory.

Right, right...

You have that silly

penchant for cigarettes?

So how was Hideko?

You have no windows here?

Sookee could be listening in.

Let's do our best.

That's it, good.

What's this?

You can't stop there, dear fellow.

So, where did you touch first?

Her face?

Her breasts?

Or straight for her c... c*nt?

Was it soft?

Did it tighten up?

Did it have many wrinkles?

Was it sufficiently wet?

The viscosity and transparency

of her vaginal secretion?

Please, one more cigarette, sir.

"Spider thread pulled into strings..."

I dare say no book has ever described

such a ferocious wedding night.

I thought I heard a nightingale sing.

And... the clear, bright crimson blood!

Thus the Lady became my wife.

Coy one moment, bold the next...

But how was she coy,

how was she bold, tell it to me in detail!

A story is all about the journey.

You should know.

Did she resist?

So did you pinch her ass as punishment?

Or did she spit at you in contempt?

Or else...

Did she beg you to do it?

Like the lady in 'The Widow's Lapdog?'

How dare you!

Hideko is my wife.

What kind of scoundrel rattles on

about his wedding night!

It's odd..

Your smoke.

It's cold, blue...

and strangely beautiful.

You too have become soft, slow and dull.

Mercury is most deadly

in its gaseous state.

One cigarette would have sufficed.

At least I will die with my cock intact.

THE HANDMAIDEN:

"I hear a sound in the distance

"That sounds like the steps of my love

"An echo that makes my heart skip a beat

"But I wait all through the night

"and my love never comes to me

"There is no end to the heartache

that grips me in this hour

"Waiting for the footsteps of my dear love

"Waiting for the footsteps of my dear love

"But then in my waiting heart

"suddenly happiness overflows

"There you are in the distance

"coming to me

"Filled with dreams of a new life

"filled with happiness

"Inside my waiting heart

"flowers start to bloom

"Come my lover, come to me

"I missed you so

"Let's dream of happy times

"like long ago

"Filled with dreams of a new life

"filled with happiness

"Inside my waiting heart

"flowers start to bloom

"Waiting for the footsteps of my dear love

"Waiting for the footsteps of my dear love"
