Mariposa: Sa hawla ng gabi

Synopsis: Set in 1994 Manila, the story is simple; an innocent girl caught in a web of horror. The main protagonist is a probinsiyana (country girl) named Maya (Erich Gonzales). Maya however is not the typical probinsiyana--she kills and skins wild monitor lizards who feed on their live stocks. Maya receives a telegram from her sister's friend Vivian (Ma. Isabel Lopez) obliging her to take a trip to the city about something important and that her sister Mona needs her. In the city, Maya discovers that her sister is already dead. Maya needs to raise 40,000 pesos to claim her sister's body or it'll be sold to a local university. Maya, innocent and all inquires about a tacky tattoo that has the name "Carlos" on her sister's arm. Maya assumes that "Carlos" must be someone special and perhaps can aid her into claiming her sister from the morgue. Restless Vivian paves the way. Maya will uncover terrifying truths about her sister and what happened to her in a journey that takes her into the darkest, mo

JOO Jin-mo KIM So-yeun

PARK Hee-soon YOO Sun

Are you tired from traveling?

No.

I want you to learn

about the world.

This country is a vast place.

Learn the Russian language

and explore the world.

Yes, Father.

I prepared some gabi.

Oh, what a surprise...

Thank you.

- You love Dan.

- No, I don't...

- Yes, you...

- No, I don't...

Dan!

Are you okay, sir?

Protect Dan.

Sir...

Sir...

Your dark eyes.

How I love you so.

How I'm scared of you.

Your burning eyes.

Have a good time.

What's this!

You must be Silver Fox!

I found gold bars

in those coffee sacks.

They're Japanese gold.

Why do Russians have these?

Those Russian officers

must be working for Japan.

Now we have to

go farther.

They are Icy Fox and Silver Fox

from Chosun.

They speak Russian fluently.

So they must have lived

in Russia during childhood.

Icy Fox can speak

Chinese and Japanese.

Silver Fox can change into

anything she wants

and make anything

she saw.

As freighters from Europe

stopped coming in,

they're stealing merchants' beans

to sell expensive to aristocrats.

After investing much money,

they even created peace

between gangs at borders.

We can't get any information

about them

because the gangs won't talk.

Now they even robbed

Russia's military trains.

Aren't you ashamed?

For the honor of Russia,

I'll get them executed.

I want to have coffee.

I'll teach you.

Try making your own coffee.

No, you know how I love

watching you make coffee.

Before leaving, let's go

say goodbye to your father.

Give him the coffee

you make on your own.

The grave of KIM Wu-hyeon

I made this coffee.

I know you often

came here alone.

Please promise my father

that you'll live as my man.

Run!

It's Russian soldiers.

Stop them!

Icy Fox and Silver Fox shall be

executed immediately

for theft and

disturbing Russian army.

Fire!

Turn the light on.

I'm Sadako Tayama.

Since I saved your life,

you owe the Empire of Japan.

I didn't beg for my life.

You're KIM Jong-sik

who followed Japanese merchants.

What do you want?

Tanya... she's alive.

Japan paid lots of gold

to Russian army to save you.

If you don't obey,

you and Tanya will suffer

unbearable pain.

Go ahead.

This is enough to make any

strong woman an opium addict.

Stop it!

Are you accepting my offer?

I'll do whatever you say.

Let her go.

You'll become

Japanese Sakamoto.

And Tanya will go to Chosun

as a Russian.

Tanya will poison the King

and Sakamoto disturb his army.

When the Gabi operation begins,

you shouldn't know each other.

GABI:

Many people will attend the

coronation of Russian Emperor.

Chosun's King also sent

MIN Yeong-hwan and envoys.

That's the famous woman

in Nevski Cafe.

Her coffee tastes amazing

and she memorizes

every order.

- Is that so?

- Yes, it's true.

- That's a rumor.

- Really?

She can't remember

every order.

- No, that's impossible.

- I think it's possible.

I bet she can't do it.

How about betting?

Betting?

Yes, and let's switch

our seats.

Sounds fun.

- Let's do it.

- Call her.

Hello.

Ready to order?

I'll have shashlyk.

And wheat vodka, please.

I got it.

I'll have jarenaya kartoshka

with mushrooms.

I'll have blini.

And a good cup of coffee

you make.

Okay.

I'll have

Farshirovanie Perzi.

And red wine.

You have borsch

on the menu.

Instead of coffee,

I'll have vodka today.

Okay.

- I'll have steak and vodka.

- Okay.

Is that everything?

Yes, that's all.

Okay.

So, now switch the seats.

I'll sit there.

You come here.

- Let's move.

- All right.

Oh, I see.

Borsch.

Perzi.

Here's what you ordered.

Steak.

- Shashlyk.

- Thanks.

Blini.

Your vodka.

Vodka.

What did I tell you?

Enjoy your meal.

I won the bet.

- Thank you.

- Thanks.

Now can we toast?

Start conversation with envoys

naturally at Nevski Cafe.

You have to return to Chosun

with MIN Yeong-hwan.

That's already done.

We'll send army

to protect the King of Chosun.

This is beyond what I can do.

Okay.

To conclude a treaty,

you need money.

Russia will no longer send

army to Chosun.

If so, Japan will not send

our army, either.

Russia and Japan signed a secret

treaty not to send army.

Japan and Russia agreed not to

send their army to Chosun.

Are you from Chosun?

Yes.

I overheard their words.

I thought this could help.

Forgive my rudeness.

Next time, I'll save a nice spot

for your meetings.

I want to bring Russian army

to Chosun.

What should I do?

Never mind.

I'm just fretting.

Russians don't feel comfortable

with people in unfamiliar clothes.

Instead of Russian army,

MIN requested for instructors

to train army in Chosun.

Tell them the King appreciates

the kindness of Emperor.

How about returning

to Chosun?

We need a good

interpreter now.

It was a pleasure

to help you.

Without you, how would I

find out Russia's intention?

I'm sorry.

I have my reason why

I can't return to my motherland.

No reason can be more important

than saving your own country.

I was a daughter

of a court interpreter.

My father died accused of

stealing the King's gold bars.

I haven't cleared his name yet.

So I'm guilty in Chosun, too.

How can I work for

the country?

I got help from you.

That makes me guilty, too.

Let's keep it secret forever.

And let's work

for Chosun people.

Before she goes,

promise me one thing.

When everything ends,

Tanya should become Japanese.

I'll promise.

Russian Minister Veber.

Mrs. Sontag,

the hostess of this hotel.

It's nice to meet you.

I'm Tanya.

You speak Russian.

She'll be a help to the legation.

I don't know.

She does speak Russian.

And she's beautiful, too.

KIM Hong-ryuk.

He interprets for the legation.

I heard you want to

taste my coffee?

Sontag hotel offers

better coffee than Russia.

Excellent.

But the beans are old.

I wish it had richer aroma.

I heard that your coffee was

very famous at Nevski street.

Will you make me a cup?

Sure.

Light roasts give rich aroma

but complicated taste.

And strong roasts

have stronger bitterness.

You should make coffee

with your heart.

Soak the beans to slowly

spread the aroma.

Throw away useless tastes.

They could ruin taste and aroma.

Too much sugar could weaken

coffee's various flavors.

How about enjoying

the bitterness for a while?

This is amazing.

I trust you'll keep promise

to work for Chosun people.

Thanks for coming back

with me.

After the queen was killed,

King Gojong requested for help

from the U.S. Legation.

But we stopped his attempt

to go to the U.S. Legation.

Then the King seemed to

surrender to us.

But when the civil army rose,

he ran to the Russian legation.

There, he's working on

his policies...

Get me a full map of Chosun.

Did you know that

Chosun's King loves coffee?

Yes.

So far, Mrs. Sontag has made

coffee for the King.

She'll be busy with

the hotel business.

So, I want you to make

coffee for the King now.

And I want you to tell me

everything about the King.

Are you saying

I should be a snitch?
