The Handmaiden Page #3
It was late so I went to sleep.
I'm sorry Mistress.
Did you know reciting takes a lot of energy and effort?
The makeup, changing clothes, all done by myself
I think I might have a nightmare. Sleep here by my side.
He proposed to me.
He said the 15th of this month...
when Uncle will be away
We'll run away to Japan.
How did you reply?
I said I don't know.
Why?
Because I'm afraid.
Afraid that your uncle will be angry?
Afraid of the Count.
What is there to be afraid of? He's so kind.
I don't even know, I just feel that...
When he caresses my cheek, my face becomes really warm.
Really?
What does a man really want?
What?
What I mean is... The wedding night...
How would I know?
I grew up without a mother to teach me.
I have no idea about any of this.
Probably kissing first?
Alright.
Let's try to put her to sleep
So adorable
In a foreign country and without a mother
Alone in this giant mansion
Reading useless books
And learning nothing of value.
Why did the taste change?
Sour and bitter.
Within the bitterness changes to sweetness.
Sweet with a nice scent.
How do you know?
Have you done this before?
Nope not at all, my friend showed me this.
Showed you? By describing?
Yes, by describing.
So this is the feeling.
This is what the Count wants.
Really?
The Count...
Would it be like being with a corpse?
You know, my hands and legs cold?
Is that so?
Do you want to feel it?
I just feel relieved.
Relief?
Do it to me, I want to personally know if it's relieving.
The Count will want to do this too.
And also...
So cute
If the Count see's this...
Will he be as gentle as you?
Of course, the Count will also...
also...
Continue. Just like that, as if the Count was doing it.
After that, he would say...
"How soft and warm."
So...
So wet...
Your beauty leaves me breathless.
Ok Ju.
Hideko.
Mother.
Father.
Ok Ju.
- Hideko. - Wait....
Please stop it.
Dont you dare touch her you filthy conman.
Stop.
I can't paint anymore.
Come over here, Tamako.
How about you find something to do somewhere else?
I think you understand.
I don't need to go anywhere else
My duty is to look after the Mistress.
Do you not know when to stop?
It's all because of you.
I'm all hot and bothered.
It'll all be over when it's the 15th.
Do you know, how much I thirst for her?
Because I want to change my life,
I've put so much effort in.
You think I'll just stand here and watch you turn it all to waste?
You b*tch.
Do you want me to tell the Miss everything?
To let her know that you're really a thief?
and just faking to be her friend?
Fine. Then why don't you expose yourself too
You're not at all an aristocrat
But a peasant from Jeju.
Think of your people.
Looking after the children, growing older by the day.
If you fail, they'll be extremely disappointed.
Do you want to be like your mother?
Don't you have to find money to take care of them?
From here on, don't you dare touch Hideko.
She doesn't know anything that goes on between man and woman.
If she get's scared, you'll never get your chance.
And also,
stop shoving things...
so small like that...
into my hands.
Hey.
your toenails have grown fast.
It must be because you're very excited.
Miss, would you like to know something?
On the sea, boats pass by each other all the time
Coming and going.
Someone to meet you, someone to give money.
Where's the furthest place you've been to?
Is it behind the mountain?
I think if this were to continue, it would be amazing.
Being by your side.
You're very lucky Miss.
Not only do men like you,
But also have the ability to protect you.
These kinds of things are rare.
I don't know if I really love him.
You do love him.
How do you know that?
You look out the window.
You shift and sigh when you sleep.
And your toenails...
Even though I don't consider that as love...
I love someone else, not him...
You've never felt that someone as dependent as me....
would marry him and be happy?
You'll definitely fall in love with him.
Mistress.
Hideko finally accepted the proposal but with a request...
that I will accompany her to Japan as well.
The Count's expression looked troubled
but agreed nevertheless.
The day Uncle left,
Count also made a ruse, pretending to go back to Japan.
But in reality, hid somewhere near.
You have a week of freedom.
But you must remember the thing in the cellar.
Miss.
We are very honored to have you
pick our boat.
7:
30 pm.At last have reach home.
It's been 3 years, I miss it so much.
Sorry.
You may not steal.
You may not steal.
No sex before marriage.
You may not commit adultery.
Were you able to sleep?
Please wait a sec.
I'm sorry.
The Count bribed the temple owner to keep an eye on us.
Afraid that we'll run away.
Why are you dressing up?
Theres nothing to do anyways.
Everything's going so slowly.
I'm afraid that Hideko will go mad, what should I do?
Maybe we'll play dress up again
I haven't seen the Count at all.
Unless he went to make the marriage official, and collect the inheritance...
Why does he need to do so much?
What took you so long?
You can't just half-ass the job.
What do you want me to do?
You've got the main part done, why don't we throw her into an asylum?
We've stayed here for one week.
At last...
Over here.
Who is that person?
She is Count Fujiwara's wife.
Before marriage, she was Miss Hideko.
Then who are you?
I am her maid.
So Tamako
do you think she needs treatment?
Don't let anyone harm the Miss.
I think it's best to let her stay somewhere where no one will harm her
It's the only way.
They'll only do a couple tests
We'll eat lambchops tonight at the Peace Hotel
We're almost done, you have worked hard.
Don't be afraid.
Hello Miss.
Miss.
What are you people doing?
We aren't harming you Miss.
But taking care of you.
You've got the wrong person.
That is Count Fujiwara's wife.
Count, say something!
You think you're the maid?
After all, she was raised by someone like the maid.
Son of a b*tch.
You bastard. Damn you all.
You can't say those things here.
Miss.
My poor Miss..
has gone absolutely mad.
I'm not sure if it may help,
but this is her mother's
most treasured possession
when she was sane.
This maid is quite thoughtful.
At the start I thought Hideko was naive.
Pftt. Naive?
Miss Hideko...
from the beginning, she was...
Miss
a bad woman.
Miss.
I'm not a bad girl. I'm not a bad girl.
No. Don't. No.
Put on inside the mouth Hideko.
Put your hand out.
If you still want to talk back,
think of the taste of these bells!
From today onwards, you shall sleep here.
Why?
Help me light the lamp.
We have to conserve oil.
What an annoying brat.
Speak Japanese!
In there, is a demon...
what he hates the most...
are obnoxious brats.
If you continue to pester, he will come out.
