Mariposa: Sa hawla ng gabi Page #4

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

The King says he's sorry

to bring you in late.

I'll make Chosun an Empire,

and I myself will be Emperor.

I understand, but...

you need recognition

from Japan and China

and from other countries.

I know Russia's supporting Chosun

to win Siberia railroads.

If we fail to protect ourselves,

Russia can't get what it wants.

If Russia approves

Chosun as an Empire,

other countries will

follow the suit.

Tanya, follow me.

We need a Russian speaker

at the arms deal.

His Highness told us

to send you.

This came from Sakamoto.

The King took the bait.

He'll send civil army

to the arms deal to stop us.

I'll set a trap.

Please send Japanese troops.

Follow him with Japanese troops.

Send the soldiers

around the port quickly.

Tanya's gone.

The King must have

sent her somewhere.

The King's up to something.

What if the King knows

about our assassination plan?

Tanya knows about us.

You're the only one

who can enter the coffee room.

If the King doesn't die,

your life will be in danger.

Kill the King

as soon as possible.

Japan will protect you.

Go to the port

and prepare a boat for him.

We're parting here.

Tanya's going with us

to the port.

His Highness ordered so.

Follow them.

No!

Why are you making gabi?

Where's Tanya?

I don't know.

You don't know?

Bring the highest court lady.

Go make gabi.

Where's Tanya?

She came here for gabi.

You can't do this

behind our back.

She's a court lady now.

She has jobs to do

besides making Gabi.

It's none of your business.

KIM Hong-ryuk...

he poisoned gabi.

Giddy up!

No, Your Highness.

Tanya came back.

She's back.

The King didn't drink coffee.

Don't let Ilyich go away

from the arms deal.

Send someone now.

All Japanese troops went there.

There's no one left.

I'm thinking about building

a Western gabi cafe here.

I promised a man.

Your man came to me

knowing he'll be dead.

Don't move.

I'll kill him.

- Are you from Chosun?

- I'm from nowhere.

You can't get rid of

your motherland.

You turn to Japan and

betrayed your own country.

But you're still Chosun person.

And do we have to die

for our King?

So, are you trying to eliminate

Chosun by killing me?

But I won't be dead.

Living is so humiliating,

but I have things to do.

Stand back.

That man provoked me.

Tanya was a spy from Japan.

I did everything

to protect her.

And she risked her life

for you.

What are you saying?

What did you feel when

you lost the queen?

How dare you

talk about the queen?

I haven't let her go,

so I didn't hold her funeral.

Right now I'll focus on

saving Chosun.

I will protect Tanya.

Now that I know everything,

how would you do that?

I'm not afraid of death.

But Your Highness,

you can't stop Japan now.

I'll fight against Japan

for the sake of Chosun.

So please let her go.

You came here

for Tanya's life.

How can I trust that

you will keep your promise?

I was the only love she had.

But after she met you,

she now loves Chosun.

Now she'll never be happy

beside me.

I'll fight for her.

Please trust me.

Go.

That man tried to protect you

by giving up his life.

Charge!

- Move back.

- Move back.

It's a trap.

Move back.

Go!

Hurry up!

No!

No!

Seok-ju!

Ilyich!

Ilyich!

The King returned to

Deoksu Palace.

He proclaimed Korean Empire

and became Emperor.

In the backyard of palace,

Jeong-gwan-heon was built,

spreading gabi aroma.

For one man,

gabi meant love.

For another man,

gabi meant dream for empire.

JEONG-GWAN-HEON

- A place for serene gaze
