Wow, you were on your deathbed,

and listen to you now.

Wow, your house is so clean!

Did you behave well?

Say goodbye and let's go.

'I'll be back soon

with my father', okay?

Oh, I'm sorry.

People can see us.

Oh!

Why are you sweating?

Yes?

Lady Cheong ju!

Do you have some

business with her?

Oh, she watched my son

while I was preparing

so I thought I'd help her.

Didn't you say

your roof was leaking?

Oh really?

Then I'll fix it!

Your work is going well?

Don't worry about those rats.

And you...

don't be late next time.

Yes.

You and me, living happily,

Day by day, night by night,

so full...

You and me, living happily,

Day by day, night by night,

so full of love.

Oh, my back.

Don't trouble yourself for my sake.

Well, not that I'm refusing!

Looks tasty!

What? Losing your nerve?

It's not that.

But I saw your son feeding them

fresh meat, like it was dog food.

Well, we're giving it a try.

So what?

Please explain it

to me in detail.

Without any hint from you,

it's hard to make sense of it!

Oh, gosh.

Since that day, the rats

became more aggressive.

And neither poison nor traps

were any use.

So we released a cat...

The rats ate the cat?

They began to multiply,

and a few of them,

after tasting cat meat,

gradually became more brutal.

Worried what might happen

if they got a taste for human flesh,

we began to feed them meat.

That's why, then...

fresh meat.

It's like doomsday.

It's not easy for Nam-soo.

Certainly not.

But Chief, what is it

that happened in this town?

Huh?

You just said, "Since that day..."

Nam-soo, the boy must be hungry!

Did I say, since that day

the rats became more aggressive?

Father...

I've got a good memory, yes.

Oh, my.

The Chinese army

was approaching.

We evacuated,

and when we came back,

they had all been

grotesquely killed.

What?

Oh, in the past?

We left, but they stayed behind.

Lepers and one shaman.

We had urged them

to come with us,

but when we came back,

they were all dead.

The Commies did that?

The Commies never even came.

I guess those creatures

had nothing to eat, either.

The rats ate people?!

If you're hungry, you eat.

Whose fault is that?

Those poor people.

It's all my fault.

I should have

dragged them along with us.

Why am I telling you this?

If you were to

sneak out at dawn...

Here, this is good for you.

I wouldn't stop you.

Oh, not at all!

If a man makes a promise,

he should keep it.

Don't you worry!

Besides, with the war over...

That smells!

What is that?

So we push it like that.

Hello, Chief!

Damn!

Why put that in your nose?

That's a mixture of poison nut,

rhododendron, thistle...

It smells disgusting,

why touch it?
