The Wrath (여곡성)

You...

No!

THE WRATH

Hurry! Let's go.

Thank you for everything.

Where will you go, sir?

I should take the state exam,

and must uphold my family.

That is only possible if you are healthy and well, sir.

With the demon slayer, what have I to fear?

A nobleman like you

searched through a humble monk's quarters?

I heard this sword destroyed countless evil ghosts.

To you, it's just a piece of steel.

Buddha did not allow you that.

Please return it, sir.

I will pay you well for it.

Let's go.

Yeon-du!

Yeon-du!

Madam? We've arrived.

Madam? We've arrived.

Let's go.

Young master!

You came without notice, sir?

Must I give notice to return to my own home?

I apologize, sir.

Is she a new maid?

Well, she'll be the youngest daughter-in-law...

She's to wed yeon-du tonight, sir.

Did you tell him anything?

Of course not.

I said that our kind madam found a wife for him.

How is the bride for yeon-du you brought today?

What do you think?

She's an orphan with nowhere to go.

She's lucky to even step foot in this house.

Instead of being on the street, she has a place to sleep.

That's true.

What in the world!

I'll sleep with the bride tonight.

Impossible!

Avoiding it won't solve this.

I bought the girl for you.

And yeon-du is set to die for his master.

I planned this all for you.

Though yeon-du may pretend to be me,

the evil spirit will know.

Still, 1 forbid you.

You mustn't die like your brothers on the wedding night.

You must carry on the family line!

Are you worried about me?

Or afraid the family will be ruined if I die?

Myung-kyu. How could you ask that?

Though I'm not your birth mother,

I care about this family as much as your late mother.

And so,

you tried to take my father's place in his absence?

I'll destroy the evil spirit with this sword tonight.

If you insist, I'll oblige.

However,

I won't have you sleep with a humble girl.

Give me some time, I'll find a noble lady to...

Unnecessary.

I don't think of her as my bride.

She is just bait to lure in the evil spirit.

Goodness!

All washed and clean, you look like a noble lady!

But what's this?

It's a burn from childhood.

Really?

On a pretty girl like you...

What am I saying?

You're the youngest daughter-in-law now.

Forgive me, ma'am.

She looks beautiful now, ma'am.

She looks weak on the outside,

but has a firm, strong body.

She could get pregnant tonight.

Who asked you about the humble girl's body?

Forgive me, ma'am.

Leave us.

Yes, ma'am.

She just said what she saw. Why get so angry?

But mother, what she said is indecent.

But it wasn't useless.

If she gets pregnant,

we should be so thankful.

Are you blaming us for not getting pregnant?

Of course not.

I just wish for a son to carry on the family line.

Let's pray to Buddha for myung-kyu's safety.

Wicked wench!

Show yourself now!

Sir!

That's enough.

Does Buddha not have the power to get rid of a ghost?

We shall cut ties with the temple.

Please leave here at once!

Leave this house.

No need to carry a bitter load any longer.

Forget everything you saw here, and live like the grass in a field.

Be careful!

Send the girl away, mother.

A noble lady must remain chaste to her husband.

But a humble girl like her can just remarry.

I shall send her away after 100 days.

Why 100 days?

The monk promised to pray for us for 100 days.

Until he is done,

he said not to send the girl away.

You must follow 3 rules in this house.

First,

do not leave this house without my permission.

Second,

no one died in this house.

Thus, do not wear mourning robes or tell anyone anything.

And lastly,

do not go near or even look at the storehouse.

If you disobey any of these rules,

you will be punished!

Yes, ma'am.

How clever of mother.

Do you know what 100 days mean?

You can tell if a woman is pregnant in 100 days.

Cunning, isn't it?

Beware of that lowly girl, too.

She could be trouble.

If she's pregnant, she'll try to rule over us.

I haven't seen your husband for so long.

I must apologize.

He's bedridden from an illness.

I hope he feels well, soon.

Without him in the court for support,

my husband is quite anxious.

Will your youngest son take the state exam?

Is he still at the temple?

Yes.

Madam, I've brought refreshments.

Come in.

I haven't seen her before.

She's a new maid, ma'am.

Really?

What a comely face for a servant.

How dare you!

What have you done to the lady!

I deserve to die, ma'am!

Silence!

- I will have your head! - No need.

It wasn't on purpose.

No, madam, she should be punished!

Congratulations, madam.

She's pregnant.

I sense her blood is full of vitality.

I'm sure she'll give birth to a son.

Myung-kyu...

He fulfilled his duty...

That wicked wench.

Move into the main house, now.

And stop doing chores.

But madam, I can still do...

How dare you go against my orders?

As you command, madam.

I'm grateful for your mercy.

It's not for your humble soul.

You're but a surrogate.

Remember that.

Yes, ma'am.

Yeon-du?

Do it right!

The lady and baby are both well, madam.

Are you certain?

When pregnant, the body changes

and can disrupt the mind to have nightmares.

She'll feel better soon, madam.

Of course, she should.

I heard you're the top exorcist in the country.

You flatter me, ma'am.

I just try to make reason of the world.

What brings you to my humble abode, madam?

Bi-ryu?

Are you alright?

Madam?

Tell me about the woes here.

Everything.

I trust you'll keep everything I said a secret.

If you don't, you will suffer loss, too.

Of course, madam.

So, can you destroy the curse on our family?

Don't try to destroy it, but console it.

Perhaps your devoted prayers will wane the anger.

Console the ghost?

I didn't think of that.

Madam?

May I meet your youngest daughter-in-law?

What about her?

I heard she's pregnant. I'll make her a protection amulet.

Ma'am?

Please listen to me carefully.

This house no longer belongs to the living.
