Mariposa: Sa hawla ng gabi Page #2

Synopsis: Set in 1994 Manila, the story is simple; an innocent girl caught in a web of horror. The main protagonist is a probinsiyana (country girl) named Maya (Erich Gonzales). Maya however is not the typical probinsiyana--she kills and skins wild monitor lizards who feed on their live stocks. Maya receives a telegram from her sister's friend Vivian (Ma. Isabel Lopez) obliging her to take a trip to the city about something important and that her sister Mona needs her. In the city, Maya discovers that her sister is already dead. Maya needs to raise 40,000 pesos to claim her sister's body or it'll be sold to a local university. Maya, innocent and all inquires about a tacky tattoo that has the name "Carlos" on her sister's arm. Maya assumes that "Carlos" must be someone special and perhaps can aid her into claiming her sister from the morgue. Restless Vivian paves the way. Maya will uncover terrifying truths about her sister and what happened to her in a journey that takes her into the darkest, mo

I'll promise.

Russian Minister Veber.

Mrs. Sontag,

the hostess of this hotel.

It's nice to meet you.

I'm Tanya.

You speak Russian.

She'll be a help to the legation.

I don't know.

She does speak Russian.

And she's beautiful, too.

KIM Hong-ryuk.

He interprets for the legation.

I heard you want to

taste my coffee?

Sontag hotel offers

better coffee than Russia.

Excellent.

But the beans are old.

I wish it had richer aroma.

I heard that your coffee was

very famous at Nevski street.

Will you make me a cup?

Sure.

Light roasts give rich aroma

but complicated taste.

And strong roasts

have stronger bitterness.

You should make coffee

with your heart.

Soak the beans to slowly

spread the aroma.

Throw away useless tastes.

They could ruin taste and aroma.

Too much sugar could weaken

coffee's various flavors.

How about enjoying

the bitterness for a while?

This is amazing.

I trust you'll keep promise

to work for Chosun people.

Thanks for coming back

with me.

After the queen was killed,

King Gojong requested for help

from the U.S. Legation.

But we stopped his attempt

to go to the U.S. Legation.

Then the King seemed to

surrender to us.

But when the civil army rose,

he ran to the Russian legation.

There, he's working on

his policies...

Get me a full map of Chosun.

Did you know that

Chosun's King loves coffee?

Yes.

So far, Mrs. Sontag has made

coffee for the King.

She'll be busy with

the hotel business.

So, I want you to make

coffee for the King now.

And I want you to tell me

everything about the King.

Are you saying

I should be a snitch?

You only have to tell me

his everyday life.

I need fresh beans.

You know

how to get to the power.

I got it. That Sadako is

actually BAE Yu-jeong.

Her father sold her to Miura

for a fortune.

What a bastard.

What's this?

Are you starting

a war or something?

For the sake of Japan?

This is Chosun.

It's our country.

Then you should leave.

But this is not right.

Japan killed the queen

and Chosun people.

This is not right.

Why do you think

the King killed Tanya's father?

The King's people

always wore black clothes.

That day, I heard they argued

with Tanya's father.

Tanya's father worked for

Chosun's King.

That's why he was killed

by the King.

The King never trusted anyone

and killed his own people.

Where did you learn Japanese?

I used to travel with

Japanese merchants.

Your eyes are shining.

How about working for me?

To buy gabi

that Tanya loves,

I opened the door

for them.

That night,

Tanya's father died.

Tanya's father was killed

not by the King, but by Japan.

You're already on our side.

Follow me.

I ruined her life.

I'll do everything
