Vampires can't see the sunlight!

I don't care if it's at night.

The moon, the stars

and even a firefly...

Be the miracle worker!

Make the blind see!

Give me the vampire blood!

It even killed EV!

Please, Sang-hyun!

Come here!

Sang-hyun! Father Hyun!

Please!

Just a little bit, please?

I'm no longer

a priest nor a friar.

Forget the rules!

Forget the Vatican!

I'm leaving!

Father Hyun! Father Hyun!

I don't know

why you wandered astray.

But I know you'll get through this.

I took pity on you

when you were young.

We had you over for noodles.

You can stay here

as long as you want.

Thank you.

Tae-ju...

She's really good at heart.

I'm giving the shop

and everything to her.

Did I do it too hard?

It's perfect.

One more time, then?

Good night.

Sweet dreams.

Get out! Go!

Hurry!

Go! Someone will see you!

No! Don't!

# The seagulls flying

in the distance...

# I called, but no response.

# O, my hometown by the waters

where bright blue stars glisten...

# in my dreams full of sorrow.

Remember Tae-ju

when she was young?

Wasn't she cute?

When she was 12

she woke me up

and showed me her panties.

Said she peed blood.

Cuz mom worked her day

and night with needlework.

We cried together all night.

Planning on taking all night?

It's only 9 o'clock.

The hospital and police questioning

will take hours.

What if the sun comes up?

I said, no!

Just a little bit?

They'll find out with an autopsy!

Why go somewhere else

for blood?

We have blood right here.

Put the knife down.

Yeah, put it down.

No! Don't come near me!

One female. Unconscious.

Well be going soon.

Don't mention

that I let you fish here.

I'll take care of everything.

Father Hyun... Father...

He became ill again for our sins!

Grant me the following

in the name of

our Lord Jesus Christ.

Like a leper rotting in flesh,

let all avoid me.

Like a cripple without limbs

let me not move freely.

Remove my cheeks

that tears may

not roll down them.

There was a house

at the bottom of the lake.

A submerged village.

I thought he was dead.

But when I went up

he'd float up, too.

So I put him in a closet

in the house

and a big rock on his chest.

What if he comes out

and chases me?

I should've put a rock

at the closet door, too.

Death is the end. Right Father?

When you're dead, you're dead?

See?

Vampires are not immortal.

You still want my blood?

You want to see

this dark world that badly?

You live on other's blood

but won't give me

a drop of yours!

Give me absolution and

I'll give it to you.

God the Father of mercies,

has reconciled the world to himself

through the death

and resurrection of his Son...

and sent the Holy Spirit among us

for the forgiveness of sins;

through the ministry of the Church

may God give you

pardon and peace...

and I absolve you from your sins

in the name of the Father...

and of the Son

and of the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Let us praise the Lord.

The Lord's mercy endures forever.

The Lord has forgiven your sins.

Go home and rest.

You must be tired.

She's my only friend.

I know shell get better

if you pray for her.

Please.

In the name of the Father,

the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

I pray to Tae-ju.

Please wake up

and listen to my prayer.

I said Kang-woo was drunk

from a bottle of So-ju.

So say the same to the cops.

When this is all over

we will be together.

We must not meet for a while.

Though my face may seem

cold and rigid...

my heart only beats for you.

When we meet again

I believe we'll finally be happy.

Father?

Doing it this way...

feels like III live on inside you.

Stop all the...

thinking, longing.

The police needs the body

to close the case.

Kang-woo couldn't swim, Mrs. Ra

You gotta move on with your life.

Kang-woo can swim.

Father Hyun's still not

taking calls?

It must've been a big shock.

Still, he could've come

to the funeral.

Kang-woo!

Kang-woo!

I'm Sang-hyun, Ma'am.

I know I'm all wet but...

My poor baby.

What took you so long?

Why didn't you call?

Bastard! You son of a b*tch!

- Mrs. Ra!

- Mrs. Ra!

Wake up Mrs. Ra!

Drink this, Mrs. Ra!

This is why we should all watch

our blood pressures.

Watch our drinking.

And stay away from salty foods.

Let's give Mrs. Ra

our positive energy, Oasis-style.

Starting with Tae-ju.

Mom...

How long's it been?

Why are you so wet?

What?

Is there a leak?

Whys it so damp?

Come here and

stop imagining things.

It's all psychological.

Stop making a fuss

and will you come here?

Was he here, too?

He? Who?

# Seagulls flying

in the distance...

Don't fall for it.

It's all just an illusion.

It's just psychological.

You're going?

How can someone do it

five times, straight?

Mom never once

threw me a birthday party.

How dare you!

But she always gave me

plenty to eat.

Then thank her.

Thank you.

Can't you go to that detective?

Aren't you thirsty these days?

I'll throw you

a birthday party this year.

Really?

The first birthday party

in my life?

But... I don't know

when my birthday is.

But who made you boss?

Telling me this and that

and hitting me around.

Kang-woo never laid

a hand on me.

Did Kang-woo...

beat you or not?

Why does that matter?

That's why he died!

Don't make excuses!

You would've killed him anyway.

So you can have me for yourself.

Do you know how hard

I tried not to kill people?

You can't even begin to imagine!

A blood thirsty beast

is growling inside me!

But I tiptoed around

afraid to hurt anyone.

I killed him cuz of you.

To save you.

To save me?

Then why am I living

a nightmare?

I stay up trembling

at the thought of

your cold hand touching me.

How did this happen?

Mom!

Mom!

I'm done for.

He's going to kill me.

Poor Kang-woo...

My poor, dear mom...

You treated that devil like a son

and this is what you get?

Did I do it alone?

It was your idea.

No! It was his idea!

He said he'll kill

the mother and son!

Honest!

I'm sorry. Please forgive me.

We were a happy family of three

till you infested us!

You're a germ!

You said I was cute, you c*nt!

Mommy, mommy...

Look at me.

You can't die like this.

Mom.

Tell me you forgive me.

Mom...

Look at me.

If you forgive me blink once.

Just one blink? Please?

Just once? Please?

Let's go!

That devil will suck

all the blood out of you, too!

Let go!

Let go!

Stay back you devil!

I want to go to Kang-woo.

Kill me, please.

You want to go?

Go to your husband?

Really?

Happy birthday, Tae-ju.

Completely white

just like daylight.

That's a good girl.

From now on, we wear shoes

inside the house like in the States.

Cuz I'm in charge, now.

You have to

sleep during the day, too.

And eat at night...

Did you just move?

Watch TV while I'm out.

A scary movies gonna be on.

I'm not ashamed at all!

I told you!

III get the blood!

Stealing from the hospital?

- There's more.

- What?

I'm helping people

who want to commit suicide.

I know many people like that

from listening to confessions.

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…
