De sier at hun er en virkelig levende engel
Alle inne der kaller henne Bamhjertige' Geum-ja
En, to, tre, fire!
Min skjebene er fylt med. . .
høye murer og dype fallgruver
Hvem vil lede meg over de mørke hindringer?
Herrens pust løfer meg over disse murene
Herrens hånd hjelper mine steg over de dype fallgruver
sikker over de fallgruvene
Hva med de vinterklærne jeg sendte deg?
Det har vært hardt, ikke sant? 13 og et halvt år
Jeg er så stolt av deg
Won-mo og jeg spilte klinkekule her om dagen og jeg tapte
Won-mo vant den største klinkekulen
Så dro han for å dra hjem
Den offentlig granskingen. . .
bekreftet detaljene at en kvinne tilstod ugjenringen
Lee Geum-ja ble først kjent til befolkningen
som den kriminelle som bortførte og drepte Park Won-mo, en liten gutt. .
Hun var da 19 år gammel
Hele nasjonen var skremt av hennes ungdom og nådeløse metoder. .
og hennes skamløse naivitet
Min sinnstilstand. . .
Dette er hvor den påståtte gjeriningsmannen hadde tatt av dage young Park Won-mo
Hun påstod at hun bare ville stoppe gråten med puten. . .
Men det som sjokkerte mer var hennes nydelige utseende
Store avisoverskrifter sammenlignet henne med Olivia Hussey. . .
En taktløs filmressigør ville lage en Lee Geum-ja film. . .
som ville gi pressen et tilbakeslag
Den høsten, ble polka-prikkede kjoler en mote
Jeg så deg på tv
Bak det stykke heksefjeset ditt,
så jeg uttrykket av en engels
En engel . . . Er det sant?
Tror du virkelig at en engel finnes inni meg?
hvis så, hvor var engelen . . .
når jeg utførte en sånn udåd?
Jeg har alltid lurt på dette etter å ha hørt hva predikanten sa
og da forstod jeg. . .
at engelen i meg bare kommer frem når jeg påkaller den
Hvor er du? Kom ut vær så snill
Jeg er her
Den saken om å påkalle en engel . . .
Det er det vi kaller bønn
Egenlig er et fengsel et ideelt sted for å lære å be
BecauseFordi
vi vet at vi er alle syndere her
Tusen takk
Vintnesbyrd på "Tros dagen" for lnnsatte, 1997
Det er tradisjon å spise tofu når man løslates. . .
så du vil leve "hvitt" og aldri synde igjen
Hvorfor drar du ikke til helvete?
Lee Geum-ja Tid som innsatt 1991-2004
Kim Yang-hee Tid som innsatt 1998-2002
Møt din nye cellekamerat
Jeg er Kim Yang-hee. Jeg fikk 5 år
They said there was someone at Kyoungju Women's Prison. . .
. . . whose face would shine
You were a whore, weren't you?
l heard her nickname was 'the Witch'
You don't usually wear ties
lt's mandatory here
We have lots of VlPs visiting
Shit, it's too tight. Loosen it up a bit
He was my pimp
lt felt so good when l was strangl ing him
- l should' ve killed myself instead - Then, die
And be born again. Over and over if you need to
Prayer is like a scrubbing towel
Scrub off all your sins
Then your skin will become as new as a baby's ass. Right?
Geum-ja taught me how to lament my past l ives
lt's a little noisy, being under the stairs. . .
But this place brings good luck
Look at me. Three years of giving unl icensed haircuts. . .
And now l have a real shop of my own
So set your hopes high
These were mine, but they'l l have to do for now
You know l wanted to get you better things, right?
Don't you have any high heels?
You never really loved me, did you?
You were just pretending, right?
You' ve changed a lot
You used to be so sweet and talk so kindly
Are you starting the plan already?
No. The plan was already started 1 3 years ago. . .
so Geum-ja murmured to herself
Farewell
What is it you want from us?
Please forgive me. Please. . .
She was going to beg Won-mo's parents
until she had no fingers left
This is 802/ 9 Han Apartments. . .
We've had a finger cut off here!
Every penny Geum-ja earned from laboring in prison. . .
had to go to pay for her f inger operation
Then 6 days later. . .
For now, just work till noon
The dawn hours are tough for me with my low blood pressure
Geun-shik, say hello
l told you about Lee Geum-ja, right?
Hel o
l told you she was pretty
Can l call you elder sister?
Just call me Geum-ja
Lee Geum-ja. . .
When she first came, she cried non-stop, like a newborn baby
Man, it was so depressing
Damn bitch!
lt brings bad luck. Stop crying!
As a man once taught her,
whenever she was having a hard time. . .
lapse on the floor like this
She'd bend over and take five deep breaths
woo so-young Time served 1990 ~ 1996
What are you looking at? You damn bitches!
Down on the floor and keep your damn hands up!
l felt like l was dying because l couldn't be with my love. . .
Turned out l was suffering from chronic kidney failure
But it felt like l was dying anyway
Then this bitch suddenly says she'll give me one of her kidneys
lt's not as if a kidney's a bit of f luff
you give away so easily
Damn bitch
lt brings me bad luck. Stop crying!
Honey, Geum-ja's here
You' ve sure changed a lot
You heard my wife-stay down!
That's when l realized
l'm married to a goddess
With this man by my side, l was never afraid
Right, honey?
Yeah, but we couldn't go in together
They should have couples prisons
But then that would be paradise, not jail
l don't know how to thank you
Honey, Geum-ja is readying a magnificent plan
You can help her, right?
The way of Dhamma
Where did you get this? lt's real old
Comrade Geum-ja, it's no use
- Go save yourself - Okay, right after l finish this
Finish the chicken later
And be careful . Don't let dogs have the chicken bones
Pass me that yellowing book
Ko sun-sooK Time served 1967 ~ 1997
A spy from North Korea, Ko Sun-sook had Alzheimer's. . .
. . . and was a problem for the prison
So when Geum-ja volunteered to look after her. . .
Even the prison warden was relieved
They were stepping around me whispering, 'The woman spy is dead'
But the pride in my heart. . .
wouldn't let me die
You said living is a struggle, too. A struggle not to die
l give you this flower. . .
for you have vengeance to take, comrade
My goodness!
You shouldn't be out so late!
l asked for you at Naruse
What were you thinking?
l don't want every Tom Dick and Harry dropping by
Fine. l'l l see you tomorrow
How could you have changed so much?
This isn't like you!
Could we start over again?
Come to church. Please?
l've converted to Buddhism!
l bet you're in for adultery
- How did you know? - lt's all over your face, bitch!
Please crawl over here
Please take them off
oh soo-hee Time served 1 993 ~ 1 994
Can you see it well?
Say hello to each other
Hallo
Soo-hee Hallo?
This damn bitch is that infamous "Witch"
She killed her husband and his mistress, then ate them
So. . .
l guess l'm not the unluckiest
l'l l suck on her for f ive minutes and cry it off
l hate them skinny bitches
So go tell Geum-ja to start eating some more, okay?
Your style has changed
What's with the blood-red eye shadow?
People are always saying l look kind-hearted
People order them from me, model led on thei r guys' photos
They' re very popular. Want me to make you one?
Can you make it in silver?
Did you find that bastard yet?
l did
Did you kill him?
Not yet
Why not?
l've been busy
' Saving the best for last, ' is that it?
Yes
- l'l l take this one - EXcel lent choice
ls it true the owner studied confection in Japan?
The lady made this one
You' ve changed so much, l hardly recognized you
- Who was she? - Who was he?
She's pretty
The detective that was in charge of my case
When l was eXactly your age. . .
That is, when l was nineteen, and you were f ive. . .
l . . . Kidnapped and killed a five year-old boy
My goodness!
Don't worry. l didn't eat him up
We can't eat this!
lt was made by hands that have killed!
l'm telling you l killed him
How many times do l have to tel you?
Then tell me what that marble looked like
What?
That marble you said you saw
but didn't know where it went. . .
lt was Won-mo's favorite marble
What color was it?
Light green
Come on! Why would anyone confess
to a murder they didn't commit?
Why won't you bel ieve me?
ls it because l 'm a murderer?
- Bel ieve in Jesus, go to heaven - Bel ieve in Jesus, go to heaven
- Without faith, there's only hell - Without faith, there's only hell
Devil , begone!
On top of that, l killed again in prison
Geum-ja wondered if Geun-shik wasn't a fool
l understand what you' re saying. . .
But it's against regulations to give out that information
There is a counseling service l can refer you to. . .
Could you at least tell me whether she was adopted or not?
Didn't you receive the notice?
l was in jail , you see
l'd like to show you the 18-year-old Lee Geum-ja. . .
A pretty girl who would turn any head. . .
But who wasn't the least bit particular
But this poor girl was on the verge of going mad
She tried to comfort herself. . .
with the thought that it happens to every woman sooner or later
Teacher? Mr. Baek? This is Geum-ja, Lee Geum-ja
l used to polish your shoes when you were our student teacher last year
You didn't know it was me?
You told me l was seXy
Yes. You remember me, right? Pardon?
Wel l , it's nothing much. . .
You see, teacher, l 'm pregnant Pregnant
No, pregnant!
Yes, l am
Could l go l ive with you?
Vær så snill?
Jeg kan ikke dra til min mor
og det er enda værre hos min far
Han? Han er bare et stort barn, Ikke klar til å bli far
Det vil bli bra, baby. Din mor er her
The poor girl murmured to herself
There's a drug cal led 'Timing. ' lt suppresses sleep
When l was just back from Tokyo, managing a confectionery factory. . .
And we had a lot of work, l used to take it first, in front of the staff
They all hated me
You have to be careful when riding a bike after taking it though
Hallo
- har du spist? - Ja, frue
Geum-ja, hva bringer deg her på denne tiden av døgnet?
Jeg trenger et forskudd
Ikke noe forskudd her
Jeg dro til Kyoungju, hvor mine foreldre bodde . .
l volunteered to teach at the women's prison there. . .
Because my folks worried l couldn't get married with my lame leg
But in my third year there, l was shocked almost to death. . .
. . . after tasting a strawberry mousse made by a kidnapper
The ingredients given to the inmates were miserable. . .
But she'd used them to create a cake f it for a king
Three months' advance
You know, you've changed?
ln the end, l packed up and moved to Seoul
Because l was motivated to open up my own bakery
What are you doing?
Writing my account number
l want to start a family young. . .
And hope to marry someone l can respect
So, you did something wrong. . .
You make penance and promise
never to do it again, right?
That's just how life goes. That's life!
lt's just another eXperience gained
lsn't that right, Geum-ja?
l'm planning to kill another person
What?
Do you think l'm seXy?
Yes. . . No
Well . . . Yes
l was hoping we could talk some more
Maybe later?
You' re trying to scare me, aren't you?
You' re trying to put me off?
Does it put you off when a gi rl does this?
No
Please go ahead
lt was al right for me. Was it good for you?
l've been told it was so-so
No way
Mr. Baek said there are good kidnappings
and bad kidnappings
What?
He said it was a good kidnapping if the chi ld is returned safely
And since they' re rich, a little ransom wouldn't make much difference. . .
And although they'd have to worry a few days. . .
The emotional reunion would make the family bond more closely
That's what he said, but then he went and ki l led Won-mo
The boy kept crying. . .
And Mr. Baek said he'd kill him if he didn't stop in 5 minutes
But then he real ly did kill him
lf he were al ive, he'd be your age now, but he's dead
Then the police found a witness
Someone saw me taking Won-mo to a bath-house
Then one day, when l came back from the market, my daughter was gone
l got a call from Mr. Baek
He said to confess and take al l the blame
or my girl would die, too
So the kidnapper had kidnapped a kidnapper's kid
lsn't that funny?
l thought it was
The house key is the middle one
Make sure these candles don't go out
Touch anything else and l'll give you a hole in the head
Going somewhere?
Hello. l'm Lee Geum-ja, from Korea
l had a baby thi rteen years ago
l think it's your daughter now
l came here only to see her once and for al l
l need to smoke
once and for all
l m Lee Geum-ja
- l'm Lee Geum . . . l had a baby. . . - Oh, l'm so jealous of you
You had such a beautiful daughter
She is now our life
We love her very much
She's got such a beautiful soul
What would we do without our Jenny
What do you, call ,'mom' in Korea?
What, is, 'mom' , in Korean?
Geum-ja
Can you take me to Seoul , Geum-ja?
- No! - Yes. . .
- Your mother, your father. . no! - Why? Please. .
- No! - Come on. Why not?
- No! - Yes
- Nei! - Ja!
- Nei. Nei! - Hvorfor?
- Nei! - Ja!
- Nei! - Nei, Kom igjen
- Nei! - Seoul , Korea!
Geum. . .Geum-ja. . .
Geum. . . ja
Geum. . .Geum-ja. . .
lt' ll sound l ke a cannon, with lots of smoke, too
The design's so primitive
What's the use of al l this fanciness? Better to have a strong sol id shot
lt has to be pretty. Everything should be pretty
lt has a very short range. So get up close when you shoot
lf you can hear his heart beating. . .
And see the sweat on his forehead, even better
lt's l ike playing golf. You get good hits with good form
Got a place to practice?
Why'd you dump me?
Tomorrow, let's go on a picnic, okay?
Why'd you dump me?
That's right. A picnic. . .
l mean why? Why?
Do you speak Engl ish?
Damn. . .
For the longest time, Geum-ja has wanted to meet with Won-mo. . .
And ask for his forgiveness
She'd be very unhappy if she found
out he appeared before Jenny
Helger med famileien og hunden ikke sant. . .?
Oppa! (Eldre bror )
Oppa!
Appa! (Pappa)
- Jenny - Idiot
Hvordan har du det denne morgenen?
Bare bra tusen takk. Dra avsted, dra avsted
Hvor er mor. . .
