then maybe she will quit.

You have to convince her to fall in love with me.

I can't do it.

What?

I want to quit.

What's with everyone today?

You're doing this because you pity her, am I right?

Why are women like this?

But the one Sook-Hee is pitying,

do you know what she says about you?

She says you're too naive, if someone were to pull your nipple you wouldn't even know what it means.

She says you're so pitiful, so easy to blush.

So easy to manipulate.

With that innocent and naive face....

Yes, Miss you will definitely fall in love with the Count

Even though I don't love him, but someone else

you still want me to...

a nobody,

get married with someone like him?

That's right.

Miss.

It would've been better if I was never born.

To have never taken a breath and live.

Let go.

Miss, I was wrong.

You won't let go?

Miss, I was wrong.

Don't kill yourself, it was my fault.

And where were you wrong?

It was me who dragged you into this mess, convincing you to marry that bastard.

He even wanted to throw you into an insane asylum.

Don't die!

Don't marry him Miss.

Sook-Hee, you care about me?

I care about you a lot too.

How do you know my name?

You thought you tricked me?

You're the one who got tricked.

You're the one who's going to be thrown in the asylum.

You will be sent there under my name.

After that, I will assume your identity and go with that bastard.

So I won't have anything against you.

Because you wanted to do the same to me...

That f***ing son of a b*tch!

I'm sorry miss!

Hello, it is I Sook-Hee.

I'm writing this letter this letter explaining the change of plans.

Miss Hideko has decided to work with me

But I need to send you something.

Always remember things that happen in the cellar.

Come with me somewhere.

You've already taught me Japanese alphabet.

That son of a b*tch painted this didn't he.

This is what he's been doing the entire time?

For those dirty old men?

When a nobleman's daughter is back from being in public, she uses straw to make a coat

her child is also a thief, a conman,

the one that saves me.

My Tamako.

My Sook-Hee

Son of a b*tch.

Damn you all, bastards!

Miss!

Let go of me.

Miss!

I'm hungry.

I'm wearing a well-fitted suit,

Can't I wear it to a fancy French restaurant?

Those colonist soldiers...

some recognize me.

That's why they're jeering at me.

I thought they would call the manager to kick me out.

What?

They're waiting for me to devour my food.

How funny.

And they began calling me Count.

And I began getting fame.

To be honest I'm not all that interested in money.

What exatly do I want?

Is not needing to see the price when I drink wine.

Something like that.

It's a 14 hour train ride to Vladivostok

This is a castle in Russia.

How about we get married there?

In a few days, the asylum will contact us.

Saying my wife has passed.

Looks like she wasn't only getting locked up?

Say that to Sook-Hee's face.

what's the point of living in there?

Damn.

I've prepared the passports.

Stick your photo over hers.

Tomorrow, Sook-Hee will be reborn.

Happy?

To be married to me.

This time, using Sook-Hee's identity.

Want to commit another crime?

I had a feeling the Miss would like it.

Sook-Hee at a place like that...

so pitiful.

Do you ever think about her?

No. I do not pity her.

We're doing illegal things anyways.

Is it stupid to love someone being someone like you?

Of course.

That's why even if I did love you and did things,

I don't have a drop of pity.

Love.

A conman like you knows what love is?

What happened?

It's on fire!

Over here!

Because you were thoughtful

You have overcome so many obstacles for me.

Just so I can be reborn

I am so grateful.

I agree to kiss you.

I don't want that.

Why?

Because I don't like to start out with kissing.

Because you won't learn anything.

I want to start from here.

Travel down from your stomach and kiss down there first.

A hard kiss.

Then do it.

But I am not in the mood right now.

Don't you know?

You can't trick me.

Wait 10 minutes.

If I become your woman,

what will you give me?

Whatever you want.

The sky is the limit.

I have lots to teach you.

You will become a perfect woman.

Hideko

I too read a book a few days ago,

in there it said when women are forcefully taken, they have more pleasure.

So now just lie down.

Hahaha.

Can you help me get that?

Send this to Uncle

Every time I watched Uncle and the Count speak Japanese so fluently,

he concentrated on instigating fear on the aristocrats.

In my heart, I think the who should be pitied is Uncle.

I am very happy to tell you,

that you don't have to do anything.

That person.

Is a peasant from Jeju.

That's right, did you receive my gift Uncle?

Can I use Korean to explain my gift?

Sorry, force of habit,

i am not in a pressured relationship, I like women.

I am thankful for him, out of all the maids,

He gave me Sook-Hee

You said you wanted to see my collection right?

Don't just see it, but feel it.

I chose five items I like the most.

Look. First...

Whip To Talk.

Aristocrat Lizard.

Sinful Undergarments.

Pull A Little Bit.

Doctor Chan's office.

Doctor Jang bedroom.

How did you get tricked by that brat?

But don't worry, I will catch them.

I have prepared...

things that will never let those two escape.

Please change these tickets to Shanghai.

Two ticket changes from Vladivostok to Shanghai?

Yes. That's right.

Please show passport.

Lady Nam Sook Hee.

Mister Gao Phan Shou.

That will be 3 more dollars.

Okay.

I am a dirty old man who likes erotica.

Everyone absorbs every story differently.

That is my passion.

But now, it's all over. What do I do?

Now only you can tell me.

How's Hideko? Is she hot?

Tell me

Give me a cigarette, it will help me remember.

You love smoking right?

How is Hideko?

This place doesn't have windows?

Sook Hee will eavesdrop, just endure.

Yeah. That's right.

What? Don't just stop half way!

You have to describe where you started, face, chest, nipples.

Or did you touch her p*ssy?

Softly or hard?

Were there many folds? Was she wet?

Give me one more cigarette.

I dare say, the most amazing parts have never been written down in any book

It feels like I'm listening to the singing of a child

Then there were drops of crimson blood dripping down.

From that, she became a blossomed woman.

She once was a naive little girl, but now she has guts.

What is this, naive, guts eh?

Tell me, the essence, the process,

You understand right? Did she resist?

Did you squeeze her ass? Or swear at her?

If you didn't then you should have.

Now she is a widow.

Hideko is my wife.

There's no one else who can tell about the sexual experience with her.

But at this damp and somber place,

you've become an obscure lunatic.

The toxicity in the smoke is very strong, only 1 cigarette is enough.

Even like this, dying is a luxury.
