Please, I quit

the force a long time ago.

He's the dam's security

head This is Fr. Hyun, Sang-hyun

Hello.

Do you like fishing Father?

Get on his good side and you

can fish there though its banned.

Daytimes a bit tricky.

Come by at nights.

- Have a seat, Father

- Let's get started.

Koreans don't

appreciate Mahjong.

Would you like to play, Father?

- Sorry. I don't know how

- I see.

Did I tell you about Father Hyun

praying for Kang-woo?

I was standing right

next to my son.

Suddenly, I felt something hot

come down on my head.

I felt tingly all over like

someone was poking me with needles.

Then my boy said

'lt feels hot right here, Mom.'

Then the cancer vanished.

It vanished?

You always feel tingly

cuz of your blood pressure.

But I did a biopsy just in case.

The endoscope showed

it was esophagus cancer.

Women shouldn't

get sedated endoscopes.

Doctors secretly rape them.

I win!

Three closed triplets!

That's 8 points.

Can we turn the heater down?

But I'm cold.

Kang-woo says he's cold!

Thank you very much.

I'm losing so much.

Instead of the hot water bag!

I'm going down to get

the lights in the store.

Don't you love our Mahjong gang?

Wednesdays. Mercury. Water.

Oasis! How's that

for our gang's name?

She's a Catholic Veronica.

She was in a bad hit-and-run.

Lost a lot of blood.

She doesn't have much time.

Let this water call to mind

your baptismal sharing...

in Christ's redeeming

passion and resurrection.

Veronica. Make your confession.

By the power the apostolic See

has given me in the name of the...

Father, the Son,

and the Holy Spirit, I grant you

a plenary indulgence and...

pardon for all your sins.

Amen.

Through this holy anointing...

may the Lord in his

love and mercy help you...

with the grace of the Holy Spirit.

And...

may the Lord who

frees you from sin...

save you and raise you up.

Amen.

Where'd you wander

off to this time?

I woke up I was at the pharmacy.

And some man walked past.

Aren't there pills

for sleepwalking?

I should lock your room

from the outside.

Should've got me pills

for my cold.

Weren't you cold?

You never catch a cold.

She's a Yeti, Mom.

Smells like

when you had gastritis.

I'll go find the pills.

Must you do this to believe me?

Don't grab my heart so hard.

When I drank Hyo-sung's blood...

the blisters disappeared.

It's as if the vampire cells

suppressed EV.

But, it doesn't last very long.

Father...

I didn't choose the blood

that was transfused into me!

You know I went

there to do good!

Now, I thirst after

all sinful pleasures.

But how can I get human

blood without killing!

First...

The Lord said not to worry

about what to eat.

For He feeds even

whe birds in the sky.

Here.

I think I won.

Small four winds!

Closed, half flush,

bonus 3 points!

Some priest.

From Macao or something?

He's the only one

who survived out of 500.

When did you go out?

I didn't see you.

It's ah...

kind of an infectious disease.

Scary, isn't it?

How different...

without his glasses.

How can you get infected?

Not through a kiss for sure.

I never kissed

anyone in my life.

Until now.

I don't get shy.

I didn't run out cuz I'm shy.

Back in Busan...

It's cuz I was

sick of everything.

The mom, idiot son,

and the dark, damp house.

The non-stop weepy, old songs.

I waited for you to come.

The orphanage boy...

I waited for you...

when I was young...

cuz the idiot liked you.

When you came,

he left me alone.

I'm not a shy person.

I run out on my bare feet...

to escape from

this hell sooner.

I even run out from my sleep.

They think its sleepwalking.

I feel awake only then

and asleep the rest of the time.

Honey!

Tae-ju!

Hot water bag!

Tae-ju?

Tae-ju!

You b*tch!

There she goes again.

I fed you and raised you!

Go put her to bed!

You can't even change

your husband's hot water bag?

How dare you!

I win.

Let go!

Stomach troubles?

What took you so long?

Eat up other's money

and you'll get diarrhea.

What's got into you?

This looks fun.

So exciting to touch.

I could do it all night, too.

You don't even know

how to do it.

Me?

I know how to do it.

I'm good.

They are on fire!

I can't wait till next Wednesday.

Then how about Sundays, too?

Why not?

Well...

It's Easter Sunday

I'm staying at the hospital.

It's best to leave things

in wanting.

Mom...

I...

can't live like this anymore.

I...

I want to help the needy.

Maybe I can volunteer

at a hospital or something.

On Sundays.

Thank you for coming.

Don't come again.

But I came to help the needy.

Its a bigger sin for a priest.

I'm not Catholic.

To me, you're just a needy,

single man.

We can both go to hell for this.

I don't have faith

lm not going to hell.

But I...

I have a terrible disease.

I'm too damn healthy.

Just once,

I wish I could be sick in bed.

It's okay.

Hyo-sung's in a coma.

Unless his vitals drop

no one will come in here at nights.

Sorry, I hurt you.

No, its good.

Its strange, but good.

Is it supposed to

feel this good?

What's wrong with me?

Are other women like this?

Am I a pervert?

Did you eat?

Ah, yes.

Can we meet

during the day next week?

Daytimes a bit...

We could be together longer.

I don't want to keep my disease

a secret from you.

I am...

a kind of a...

I don't kill anyone you know.

Hyo-sung...

He loved helping the hungry.

He'd offer me his blood,

if he wasn't in a coma.

If you only heard

the sponge cake story.

No one blames someone

for getting hurt in an accident!

No one gets criticized

for having cancer!

I went there to do good!

So what if I'm a vampire?

Did you like me cuz I'm a priest?

Lts not that, is it?

That's just my job.

Being a vampire is

like having different palates...

or different biorhythms

don't you think?

When two people are in love,

does it really matter?

No, what I mean is...

You hate that I'm a vampire?

Think I could've slept

with you if I wasn't?

How could I have sex with you?

As just a priest?

Come with me.

I'll take you away from this hell.

You liked doing it with me

Kang-woo's no fun.

Tae-ju?

What's going on?

The toilet's not flushing.

It's going down now.

Closing time.

Hello?

How can...

someone become a vampire?

Can you catch it through sex?

Can you turn me into one?

Vampires are...

cuter than I thought.

Can you bend this?

What for?

Can you jump down from here?

Too high?

I'm ready.

Did Kang-woo do that?

Does he hurt you often?

Not often...

Want me to rip him up

like that coin?

I lived as their dog

my whole life...

feeding the idiot, washing him

and even helping him masturbate.

You know...

I'm practically a virgin.

He's...

Does it hurt?

Can't you volunteer

somewhere else?

Mental hospitals are so scary.

Drink it.

Can't you go back to the lab?

Ask if there's any way

for a cure?

Sunlight is bound to hit me

on my way there.

Sunlight...

I wish I can see the sunrise

over the sea before I die.

What are you thinking!

Émile Zola

Émile Édouard Charles Antoine Zola (; French: [e.mil zo.la]; 2 April 1840 – 29 September 1902) was a French novelist, playwright, journalist, the best-known practitioner of the literary school of naturalism, and an important contributor to the development of theatrical naturalism. He was a major figure in the political liberalization of France and in the exoneration of the falsely accused and convicted army officer Alfred Dreyfus, which is encapsulated in the renowned newspaper headline J'accuse. Zola was nominated for the first and second Nobel Prize in Literature in 1901 and 1902. more…
