How was your day today?
How was it?

Well then, shall we talk?

First, tell me about yourself

Who do you think you are?

Do you know who this is?

Don't know?

It's your family

Want to see it again?

Fine then

Can you tell me

about that day?



About what happened?

You should be able
to remember it clearly

It's okay

From now on

tell me what happened

Aren't you getting out?

Su-yeon

Su-yeon!

It's so pretty

Give me your hand

The other one

Why?

Su-mi!

Welcome home!



It's been such a long time

You've changed
so much, Su-yeon

You've gotten prettier

But you two
really disappointed me

I waited all day for you two

cooking and cleaning the house

but why didn't
you say hi first?

What did you do?

Were you at the wharf?

You should've changed first
before you went outside

Anyway

welcome back home

Is something wrong?

I see you've gotten better

I'm so glad
you feel better now

You're taking after your mom

You're feeling
a lot better too, right?

Right
I bet you're both tired

Get some rest
and come down for dinner

I'm preparing a
special dinner

But, you should
give me some time

There's a lot to prepare

We just got back

Things don't look
so good right now

It wouldn't help much
if you came

Yeah, I know

Let's talk later
I should go

So you're doing okay, right?

Did I tell you?

Sun-kyu and his wife
are coming over

lt'll be alright
I'll take care of it

Okay, bye

Oh right!

I invited Sun-kyu and his wife over

for dinner this weekend

Really?

Lt'll be nice for them to
see the girls after so long

And to catch up on things

That was delicious

Sorry, I have things to tend to

You must be tired
so clean it up tomorrow

Did you prepare
your father's undergarments?

Thanks, but that's my job

Cleaning my room is my job, too
Why'd you touch my stuff?

That's how it was before

So all of the same clothes
were hanging there before?

I'm not having
dinner with him

What?

I said I'm not having
dinner with that guy

He's not some guy
he's your uncle

It's the first day
so let's give it a rest

And you?
Yes?

Aren't you going to follow her?
You're supposed to follow your sister

What did that woman tell you?

If she ever gets on your case
then tell me

And don't ignore it like before
Okay?

Good night

What's wrong?

Did you have a bad dream?

Was it the closet?

Then what's wrong?

I keep hearing
strange noises outside

It's because
you've been away too long

It's okay
Let's sleep

Somebody came into my room

He's asleep

I know
Then why are you trying to wake him?

Says who?

You were trying
to wake him just now

Have something to tell him?

It's none of your business

All I'm saying is
since his fast asleep

Don't wake him up
Don't you understand me?

I just came down for water

He's asleep so be quiet

Did you go to my room?

Yes

Who was it?

That woman

Stepmom?

Yeah

It's strange

What is?

That woman is strange

And so is this house

Are you scared?

Everything's alright
I'm here

Come here
Let's sleep

I'll always be with you

Su-yeon Go away

Are you awake?

Yes

Can I come in?
No

Come down and eat

What are you doing?

Are you having your period?

No, Su-yeon is

Su-yeon?

That's so funny

How could we both get our periods
on the same date?

Su-mi

It's okay, come down

That's mom's favorite, huh?

Do it like this

Shall we kill them?

Let's set them free

She'll have a cow
if we mess with her precious

I'd hate to see that

Su-mi

What are you doing
out in the cold?

Are you alright?

Why?

You don't look so good
Are you feeling sick?

No, I'm okay

Tell me what's wrong?

I said I'm okay

Just get rid of
Su-yeon's closet

Su-mi

we agreed not to talk about
that closet

You promised, right?

Su-mi

I know you're
very angry with me

And I know I'm a bad father

You're not even a bad father

It's cold so let's go inside

I will

What are you doing?

You scared me

When did you come in?

Did you go to the warehouse?
Yeah

Su-yeon, look at this

Tada!

Wow

Cool
Pretty, huh?

Is it mom's?
Yup, and

There's more

It's mom!

Taritakoom, taritakoom

What does that mean?

It's a spell to call mom

Who told you that?

Mom did
What?

Can I take this?

Huh? Sure

This and this

Wait!

What is this?

Who did this to you?

Tell me, who did this?

It's okay, tell me

She did this, huh?

She did this, didn't she?

Su-yeon
what's wrong with you?

I told you to
tell me everything!

She did this, right?

She did this, huh?
Did she do this?

Tell me! Tell me!
Tell me! Tell me!

What?

How can you be so cruel?

It's retribution

If you disobey
you need to be punished

Does dad know what you did?

Think your father
can solve everything?

Then go get him
Want me to do it?

Sit down!
Where are your manners?

Were you like this
to your mom, too?

Don't bring up my mom!

Listen carefully
I'm your mother, got it?

As much as you hate it

I'm the only one in this world

you can call mother, got it?

Crying over your mom's photos

won't change anything

Hard to handle, huh?
That's too bad

But that's how the world is

The world isn't as sweet
as you picture it

Sometimes you have to bear the worst
and live on

Like the way
I'm bearing you two!

Tough isn't it?

I have beared you two brats

from the moment I came to this house

I have never met such ill-mannered

menaces like you two

What?

Why the hell did
you even come here?

I can't believe you
said that to me again

I see, you still must be sick

Don't touch me

Let go!
What's wrong with you?

Are you that clueless?

Don't touch me
with those filthy hands!

Su-mi, listen to me

I don't want to hear it
You're the same

That's not true
you've misunderstood

You're not even
accepting all this

Why is it always me?

Why are you asking only me
to understand?

Are you really clueless?

Yeah,

Maybe I don't know
I don't have all the answers

I don't know, so tell me
and let it off your chest

Tell me!

Will it change anything?
Will it?

Su-mi

Don't do this
Please don't

You'll get sick again

What?

Fine

From now on
anything that happens here

all the filthy things
you brought here

be responsible for it all

I have nothing more to say
so answer the phone

Do you remember?

My memory's a bit blurry
but I think it did happen

When was it?

Hey, remember this?

You jumped into the rive

to catch some fish

Then you started to drown

and everyone had a fit

There was another funny story

What was it?
Oh yeah, I remember

Remember that crazy guy?

The funny thing is
is that he was always normal

but whenever it rained
he went nuts

While plowing the field

he'd strip off his clothes
when it rained

and run out into the highway

The funniest time was

when it rained off and on

So he'd put on and take off
his clothes, again and again

Then he got sick of it
and just went into his house

Everyone in the neighborhood
laughed so much back then

But when

But when he was little
he saw him doing that once

He saw him doing that once
and then he ran together

with that crazy guy

Our mom saw that
and she almost passed out

Do you remember?

You remember, right?

Say something

Don't you remember?

You remember, right?

No

I don't remember

What?

I said I don't remember

Why don't you remember?

Are you crazy?

Mi-hee!

Mi-hee!

Wait, hold on to her

What's wrong?
Wake up!

Bring some water

Are you alright, Mi-hee?

Water, water

I'm sorry, it's all my fault

Mi-hee!

It's okay

It's alright, Mi-hee

It's alright

I'm sorry

I didn't want to come
but your father begged me to

so I had no choice

Honey
Yes?

I saw something strange
in that house

What did you see?

There was a girl
under the sink

Just go in

Can't you just stay here?
Why?

It's strange

What's strange?

It's strange

After the girls came down

weird things have been
happening in this house

Don't say stupid things

Didn't you see it?

You're just having a hard time adjusting
You'll get better if you rest

No

There's something
in this house

I'll look around,
so lie down

Open the door!

Open it!

Open the god damn door!

I'll show you

Get up!

Get off the bed

Get off now!

I said now!

Come here, right now!

You pest

Talk!

A person can't get any rest
around this household

Tell me
Who did it?

Who did it?

Who?
Better tell me the truth

Who did it!

Was it Su-mi?

You two need
to learn a lesson!

Was it your sister?

So do you feel better looking
at your dead mom's things?

Feel happy
after seeing the photos?

Say that you're sorry

Until you do, don't even
think about coming out

There's no use in crying

Say that you're sorry
and beg for forgiveness!

I'm sorry

What?

Say it right

I'm sorry

I'll ask you once more

You're admitting
that you're sorry, right?

Stop crying

I don't want to hear it,
so stop it now!

Are you

Are you mad?

Is that why you're crying?

Fine, let's see
how long you hold up

This will put some sense
into you two

Su-yeon

Su-yeon, I'm sorry

I didn't hear you

I'm sorry, Su-yeon
I'm sorry

This won't happen again

I promise

Don't cry, it's okay

Tell me
What?

Why the hell
are you doing this?

Tell me why you've acted

so weird since you got here

You really don't know?

Don't know what? What is it?

I'm talking about
what that woman is doing to us!

So tell me what has she done?

She keeps harassing Su-yeon

What?

Didn't you hear me?

I said she keeps harassing Su-yeon!

She's vicious, evil

and always locks Su-yeon up
in the closet!

Su-mi, please stop it

Stop what?

You know that
Su-yeon is scared of her

Su-yeon, you tell dad

Stop crying
and tell him now

Tell him!

Please stop it!

Su-yeon is dead

What?

No

Su-yeon is dead

So pull yourself together

How long will you keep this up?

It's not true, Su-yeon

Su-yeon

Su-yeon No No

Come down tomorrow,
I can't do it alone

Hmm

She's getting worse

I'll pick you up

How did we come to this?

Don't you get it yet?

Remember what
I told you before?

Remember when I said
you'll regret it some day?

You

Know what's really scary?

You want to forget something

Totally wipe it off of your mind

But you never can

It can't go away, you see

And

And it follows you around
like a ghost

Help me

Sure, I'll help you

Let's end it here

You're just having
a hard time adjusting

You still must be sick

You promised not to
bring up that closet

How could we both get our periods
on the same date?

Su-yeon is dead!

No, I don't remember!

Su-mi, are you okay?

It's all over now

You'll feel better here

Get some rest

I'll come and visit often

Take care of yourself

Why'd you come up here?

Dad's not here

What do you mean by that?

Now you're trying
to act like mom

Do me a favor

Stay out of our lives

Can you get out of the way?

I have to go

You

You might regret this moment

Keep that in mind!

What can be worse

than standing here with you?

When you're here

I wanna be as far away
from you as I can
