Mariposa: Sa hawla ng gabi Page #4

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

Cut the King's connections.

I need information

from Tanya.

Get him connected to Tanya.

He'll be out of control.

Sadako.

Water flows downward.

Don't block it,

but make a path for it.

I'll make a path.

We're doing right,

aren't we?

Let's finish quickly.

The King has

secret connections.

I need to find a secret path.

Can you draw a map

for the inside of the legation?

I'll leave it here.

Westerners drink gabi

in this kind of cups.

Because gabi is black

and tastes bitter

it's used for poisoning

in Western countries, too.

Forgive me. I should have

lighten your concerns.

The King only eats canned foods

and eggs because of poisoning.

Everyone around the King

is very loyal to him.

Due to their close protection,

I have nothing to report.

I want to find Russian dealers

who sell weapon to the King.

I need information about people

who meet the King privately.

Those granted a private audience

belong to secret society.

But I can't find out more

because the King doesn't open up.

I heard you speak

Russian well.

I barely make conversations.

For whom are you working for?

To whom are you passing words?

They say words with gabi

are as light as dust.

Why would I pass those words?

Are you saying

my words are like dust?

I haven't said a word,

and I won't from now on.

I don't trust anyone.

Your promise means nothing.

KIM Hong-ryuk and Veber

gave me gold bars.

Then you, Russian speaker,

came to me with gabi.

People never pay money without

getting something worth it.

What are you trying

to take from me?

Do you still have

anything to lose?

Use me, Your Highness.

I'll be your eyes and ears.

Tanya should stay

and serve gabi.

MIN Yeong-hwan said that

the Russian legation took money,

but we haven't received

new arms and guards yet.

Tell Minister Veber to

show me the ledger.

The King asked you to strengthen

vigilance around the legation.

Yes, Your Highness.

He says he'll do so.

Did he interpret correctly?

He didn't interpret

your words correctly.

The interpretation was wrong.

Russians don't like to use

direct expressions.

I tried to understand your

intention and convey words.

She's nobody

who just wandered in Russia.

How'd she know diplomacy,

Your Highness?

And you sent me a nobody?

I've already known that

interpretation was incorrect.

I just used you.

This might put you in danger.

Everyone who helps me

has to risk death.

You'll be my eyes and ears,

so I'll protect you.

You have to protect yourself.

I'll think you did this

to win the King's heart.

If this happens again,

I can't guarantee your life.

Are you okay?

I was worried he might

take you with him.

Do you know

how powerful he is?
