EPISODE 11
FSHHH. Amplified radio blast sound.
FSHHH. Sitting at this table, Sang-Deuk and Young-Sik only hear breathing.
| - | That's pretty handy, your junk, boss. |
| (listens to the radio) |
| - | We can listen from here, without having to hunch over in a van. |
| - | Because you can hear something, maybe? |
| - | You couldn't hide the transmitter in their bedroom? |
| - | It's not my fault they spend their lives in the bedroom! |
| - | I wonder what the hell those three do in there. |
SLATCH! Sound from the radio receiver.
| - | (finger over mouth, whispers) Sounds like a door opening. |
| ~ | I'm gonna get rid of that , damn it! |
| ~ | Take her out of the game for good. |
| - | Boss... are they planning to kill someone?! |
| - | Shh! |
| ~ | I'm leaving for Iksan. |
| ~ | Let me know if there's any news, even during the job. |
| ~ | It's alright, good luck with the further operations. |
| ~ | Avoid to shoot the circus scarecrow, hey hey! |
FSHHH. The radio only emits breath.
| - | Is that... is that what I think it is? |
| - | Definitely! |
| - | It wasn't enough to wipe out Oh Sung-Moo. |
| - | These gangsters only live for crime. It's in their blood! |
| - | Worse, it makes them laugh to shoot people. |
| - | Boss, it's much too dangerous, we have to drop it. |
| - | On the contrary, this is an opportunity to catch them red-handed. |
| - | The city of Iksan... They certainly have an operation in progress there. |
|
| - | With a mobster nicknamed "the circus scarecrow"? |
| - | Look where it is on a map. |
| - | But... but... boss... you won't send me there?! |
| - | No, you are compromised. Kang Ta might recognize you. |
| - | (sigh of relief) Phewww... |
Young-Sik looks for a map website, on a laptop.
He finds the city of Iksan and shows the screen to Sang-Deuk.
| - | (points) It's here boss, there's a disused prison over there. |
| - | The perfect place for an illegal deal. |
| - | Or to confine and torture someone. |
| - | I go there! (puts his coat on) |
| - | Be careful boss. |
| - | And if anything happens to you, don't reveal that I exist! |
| - | Meanwhile, keep monitoring their conversations. (takes a camera) |
| - | Sure, boss. |
Sang-Deuk comes out of the apartment.
Young-Sik takes a travel bag and sits on the sofa.
He takes a manhwa out of the bag, yawns, then reads.
The sun is down, but the sky is still bright.
| ~ | This girl turned his brain upside down. |
Kang Chul is using his smartphone earpiece.
| - | He forgot the unknown variables and risks of this type of situation. |
| ~ | When I think how scared he was during "W"... |
| - | Even for us, there could be danger. |
| ~ | We have to make a decision, painful for our family life. |
| ~ | But it's necessary, until everything is resolved. |
| - | ... ! |
| ~ | Is Chul-Moo okay? |
Gil Soo-Sun is in Chul-Moo's bedroom, using her smartphone.
She tenderly watches the baby sleeping in his crib.
| - | He is as wise as a picture. |
Yeon-Joo sits behind the desk, using her smartphone.
Meanwhile, she absentmindedly scans the pages of "Butterfly Girl" on the computer.
| - | I need you to babysit him for a few days. |
| - | What's going on? Nothing dangerous I hope? |
| - | Soo-Bong... Soo-Bong has problems with his manhwa. |
Yeon-Joo clicks on the link back to the "Butterfly Girl" episodes.
At the top of the list, a marker "New", "Chapter 130"!
| ~ | He needs you to mother him instead of your son! (annoyed) What nonsense... |
| (astonished, clicks on the chapter link) |
| - | What has that shrieking monkey gotten himself into? |
| - | (reads chapter) It's too complicated to explain for the-- |
| ... !!! (speechless, widens her eyes in concern, as she looks at the screen) |
| - | Mom! I'll call you back later! (hangs up) |
| - | ... !! |
Yeon-Joo rushes out of the room.
| - | (shouts) Soo-Bong! |
Casually dressed in a gray sweater, Soo-Bong draws on his tablet, focused.
| - | (as if Yeon-Joo is in the other room) Yes... Yes... |
| - | (shouts, rushs at him) Soo-Bong! |
| - | Whaa!!! (startles, Yeon-Joo is under his nose!) |
| - | (grabs Soo-Bong by the collar, forcing him to stand up) Hurry! Come and see. |
Pulling him by his clothes, she drags Soo-Bong to the bedroom.
He tries to put his electronic stylus on the table, but doesn't have time.
| - | Wait until I-- |
| - | Don't argue!!! |
Yeon-Joo pushes Soo-Bong to the desk and forces him to sit down.
| - | Noona, Noona, is your stress back?! |
| - | Look! (CLAC! slams the mouse on the desk) |
Soo-Bong puts his stylus in his sweatshirt pocket, and picks up the computer mouse.
He scrolls through the episode about Eun-Ji's visit to Jin In-Jin.
¤ She puts her smartphone on the table, showing Ren-Bo's picture.
¤ Jin In-Jin walking through his insects collection.
¤ Jin In-Jin, smiling cruelly, announces:
"No, I will build it a dedicated showroom..."
| - | ... !!! (surprised and worried) |
| - | But... my drawing?! |
| - | Have you finished it? |
| - | Just now. |
Yeon-Joo takes the mouse and scrolls the webtoon.
There is a last page, after the picture of Jin In-Jin.
¤ Without caring, she passes between two building blocks.
¤ She falls into a wide open manhole.
¤ Mr. Ladybug comments on the chapter's end. (We hear him in voice-over.)
| ~ | To conclude with such a ridiculous gag is appalling. |
| ~ | When there was an excellent cliffhanger just before! |
| ~ | This stupid writer ruined the dramatic effect. |
| ~ | Feel free to insult him or shoot him with rotten eggs. |
¤ "TO BE CONTINUED".
| - | (broken down) Jin In-Jin... The entomologist... |
| - | (absurd, unfair) But... He's two volumes ahead!!! |
| - | (overexcited) I knooooow! |
| ~ | I call Chul! |
Kang Chul's car arrives in the vicinity of Iksan prison, visible in the distance.
BRRZ! His smartphone rings.
Kang Chul uses his earpiece and answers.
| - | What is it, sweetheart? |
| - | Honey, something terrible has happened! |
| - | Ren-Bo already has Jin In-Jin on her tail!!! |
| - | The villain of volumes 5 and 6? |
| - | (worried) The entomologist? |
| ~ | Yes!!! |
| ("") |
| - | I didn't have time to read this far. |
| - | I'll call you back in 5 minutes... (hangs up) |
Other vehicles of the drama team are parked, cars, van, truck.
The headlights of Kang Chul's car illuminate a policeman guarding the area.
Kang Chul waves to him with a smile, and the policeman answers in the same way.
Kang Chul parks his sports car close to the prison gate.
Kang Chul takes a mini-tablet from the front passenger seat.
He turns it on. In the menu, he chooses "Butterfly Girl, volume 5".
The manhwa cover shows up. The view becomes frontal and...
... we don't see neither car, nor Kang Chul's hands, nor the tablet.
During this scene, we see only the manhwa.
And we hear as voice-over the text bubbles and the onomatopoeia.
______WIZzz, Several pages slide quickly. It stops on______
¤ LAST: In daylight, Ren-Bo walks down an avenue, a drawing roller strapped to her shoulder.
She reads the company sign: "Arborea, creating green spaces".
LAST: Ren-Bo looks at the sign, smiling and optimistic.
Smiling, Ren-Bo walks to the table.
A frightened recruiter spills his coffee, the others step back.
She pulls out a sketch from her scroll, showing a building surrounded by a flower garden.
| - | A Dahlia-based concept, to show the generosity of the owner. |
The recruiters don't look at it. They stare at Ren-Bo's wings, about to vomit.
LAST: Resting on the scroll, Fairy Spark looks sadly at Ren-Bo.
Smiling, Ren-Bo holds a transparent jar containing soil and a large unknown flower.
At the desk, an old gardener stares at Ren-Bo's wings with fear.
In panic, he flees through the door, which he slams after him.
LAST: Standing on the jar, Fairy Spark looks sadly at Ren-Bo.
An angry farmer points his pitchfork at Ren-Bo. Blue wings!
Next to him, a crying child. His frightened mother consoles him.
PLUFF! Cloud of light, Fairy Spark appears on Ren-Bo's shoulder.
Sadly, the Fairy whispers words of comfort in her ear.
LAST: MOO! MOO! In the barn, the panicked cows moo towards Ren-Bo.
¤ MOOOO! A cow moos on Ren-Bo. Its breath makes wind, Ren-Bo grimaces.
¤ Fairy Spark is blown in the air. Standing on the cow, Mr. Ladybug grimaces and covers his ears.
______WIZzz, Pages slide______
¤ WHOP-WHOP-WHOP. By day, a helicopter lands on the roof of Jin In-Jin's building.
Under the rotating propellers of his helicopter, Jin In-Jin holds the photo.
He stares at it, cruelly euphoric, ignoring the noise and the wind.
Next to him, Secretary Min holds documents and other photos of Ren-Bo.
| - | She... (changes her mind) THAT was seen in several places in the capital. |
| - | I have a plan to legally add this artwork to my collection. |
LAST: Jin In-Jin talks to Secretary Min.
| - | What do butterflies love? |
LAST: Ren-Bo looks at the top of the building. Doubt, apprehension.
| : | Am I really invited here? |
Facing Secretary Min, Ren-Bo looks at the room with wonder.
| - | I'm sorry miss, I can't receive you here. |
LAST: Ren-Bo is disappointed.
| : | What did I expect? |
| - | President Jin wishes to receive you personally in his villa. |
| - | What? |
| - | He asked me to you. |
| - | (unbelievable) ... ! |
LAST: Ren-Bo looks out of the window, dreamy, with tears of joy in her eyes.
| : | I was wrong to lose hope, all will get better from now on. |
Ren-Bo and Secretary Min are sitting at the table.
Standing further away, Jin In-Jin looks towards the gardens.
Confused, Ren-Bo looks at him, kind of "He invites me, so why he stays away?"
| - | Everyone is only talking about your talent. |
| - | (incredulous) Really? |
| - | President Jin wants to be the one who benefits from it. |
| (looks at Jin In-Jin, smiles with gratitude) |
| - | (wide gesture pointing to the gardens) You will have all this under your responsibility. |
| (amazed, mouth open, looks at the immense and sublime gardens) |
| - | Do you accept to work for president Jin? |
| - | (crazy with joy, nods several times) Yes! Yes! Yes! |
Secretary Min pulls a contract of several bound sheets from her satchel.
She stands up, then places the contract and a fingerprint pad on the table, in front of Ren-Bo.
Secretary Min stays behind her, bent over like an evil crow.
PLUFF! A cloud of light. Fairy Spark appears on the table, next to the contract.
| - | Ren-Bo, be careful. Take the time to read everything. |
| (elated with happiness, not listening) |
| (takes out her seal and dips her thumb in the fingerprint pad) |
| - | (distressed) Ren-Bo! |
Frantically sweeping the sheets, Ren-Bo prints her seal and fingerprints on each one, without reading.
LAST: Jin In-Jin smiles in cruel satisfaction, his eyebrow.
| - | Crush it until it hangs itself. You have carte blanche. |
| - | By your command, President. (leaves) |
| (looks at his insect collection hanging on the walls) |
| - | (disdainfully) Derisory... |
Jin In-Jin picks up a pad of contract sheets from the table.
He detaches a sheet and looks at it slowly, his eyes sparkling with envy and malice.
Close-up of the sheet, moving and zooming on...
Top, "In case of death".
Middle, "I agree to leave my body to the beneficiary".
Below, "Beneficiary: Jin In-Jin".
Next to it, "Signatory: Ren-Bo", with fingerprints and seal.
Close-up on the cover: "Moral harassment - First cause of suicide in companies".
| - | (laughs cynically) Hey hey! A guide would be less useful. |
Secretary Min walks past them, giving them each an envelope.
| - | Do this task, and you will receive this every week. |
| (looks into her envelope, amazed! the wad of bills is so thick) |
| (frowns, ties fingers, remorse) |
| - | (notices the reluctant one) This is not a human being. |
LAST: Secretary Min talks to the servants, fierce, bossy.
| - | Those who show humanity will be beaten to death. |
______WIZzz, Pages slide______
¤ A maid spills a bag of fertilizer on Ren-Bo's head.
¤ Ren-Bo dumbfounded, on her head, some flies around.
¤ Mr. Ladybug skewers a fly with a sword.
______WIZzz______
¤ Two servants take Ren-Bo's gardening tools, while she begs.
¤ The servants throw the tools into a pond.
¤ ...SPLACH! Mr. Ladybug takes shelter under an umbrella.
______WIZzz______
¤ A maid crushes Ren-Bo's face on the ground, who screams and cries.
¤ In the garden, the maids laugh sadistically, around Ren-Bo on all fours.
¤ Two maids force Ren-Bo to eat grass and worms.
______WIZzz______
¤ LAST: On the villa's terrace, Secretary Min and Ren-Bo ashamed, head down.
| - | President Jin put his trust in you, and you make a mess. |
| - | You annoy the other employees and vandalize the equipment! |
| - | (sobs) It's not that... I tried to-- |
| - | Don't try and succeed! |
| - | Do you want to be fired? |
| (shocked) |
| (overwhelmed, nods no) |
| - | I know it's hard, but don't lose heart. |
| - | Thank you Unnie... |
LAST: The maid takes Ren-Bo in her arms.
| - | You're the only one being nice here. |
______WIZzz, Pages slide______
¤ LAST: Ren-Bo eats at the canteen, alone at her table, depressed.
Ren-Bo spasms, her wings turn dark purple.
She vomits on the table. All the servants burst out laughing.
| - | It seems that rat poison works for insects too. |
General laughter. Ren-Bo bursts into tears.
She has a spasm and vomits again. Laughs!!!
Fairy Spark stands on the table, next to the plate.
|
| - | Eat Ren-Bo, you need to get some strength. |
| - | (head falling on the table, cries with despair) I can't take it anymore, it's beyond my strength. |
| ~ | Then resign. |
| (depressed, intimidated, dark circles under eyes) |
| - | (takes the letter and tears it up) No one leaves President Jin without saying farewell to their career. |
| - | ... ?!! (incredulous and worried) |
| - | You would be blacklisted. No one would hire you after that. |
| - | ... !!! (horrified) |
People around don't understand. They are disgusted to see her, and think she's crazy.
| - | Never again... Never again would I be allowed to garden, anywhere. |
| - | (compassionate, hesitant) Isn't life... more important? |
LAST: Ren-Bo desperate and stubborn.
| - | I will never give up the only profession I love. |
______WIZzz, Pages slide______
¤ LAST: Jin In-Jin and Secretary Min are on a balcony, upstairs in the villa.
| - | One last coup de grâce will be enough, President. She will be... (smiles) fired. |
| - | One regret... The gardens have never been so beautiful. |
| - | This is a garbage dump! What will you do to fix it? |
| - | (confused, appalled) But... No... I've... I have... |
Ren-Bo's maid friend is standing next to a barbecue.
She takes a can of flammable liquid and approaches.
| - | She's not capable of anything, and we have to clean up her garbage. |
| - | (terribly shocked) Unnie?! But... I thought that-- |
| - | That we were friends? A monster like you doesn't deserve anyone's friendship. |
| (stunned, lost touch with reality) |
The maid scatters the contents of the can on the flowerbed.
| - | (too terrified to accept) Unnie... What... What are you doing? |
The maid lights a barbecue torch and throws it on the flowerbed.
The flowers and plants catch fire, burned alive!
| - | NOOOO!!! (as if she could hear the agony screams of the flowers). |
Crazy with grief, Ren-Bo runs her hands over the flowers, burning herself.
The two maids look at each other, nod with a smile, and...
... they kick Ren-Bo in the back!
Ren-Bo falls into the flames, her wings catch fire!
| - | (screams in pain, burned alive) Aaaaah! ARAAAH!!! |
| - | (leaps to the railing, angry) Are they crazy?! |
| - | They'll ruin it! |
| - | Everything has been planned, President. |
SPLATCH! She dives in. Her flaming body extinguishes. Steam jet.
LAST: Purple wings and blackened skin, Ren-Bo screams in pain and despair.
¤ LAST: Capital, big river bridge, at night and under the storm.
| - | (on the railing, panicks) Ren-Bo! Ren-Bo! |
|
| - | This is the only thing I will ever achieve in my life!!! |
| - | (smiles with satisfaction) Get ready to fish out the body. |
| - | Understood, Secretary Min. |
He gets out and rushes to Ren-Bo. He belts her to prevent her from jumping.
She struggles, redoubles her screams and tears. Heartbreaking!
| - | Let me go! Let me go! I should have done this long ago!!! |
| - | Never!!! I forbid you to die any other day than me. |
In the rearview mirror, Sin-Moo looks at Ren-Bo in the back seat.
| - | Resign. |
| - | (crying) I can't. I'd rather die. |
| - | Then stay home. |
| - | It's the same! |
| - | Your career is not in danger. Trust me. |
| - | (vague hope) |
| - | I know what these sharks do when they don't get what they want. |
LAST: CRAACK! A lightning bolt strikes nearby, illuminating Sin-Moo's determined face.
| - | Someone else than you will pay for this. |
| - | Secretary Min failed, President. |
| - | The incompetent one! She'll pay for this. |
| - | (stands up) Follow me, we'll fix it. |
Jin In-Jin leaves the office with his henchman.
The henchman constrains her from behind.
A rope hangs from the ceiling, hooked to a wooden beam. A stool is on the floor.
Jin In-Jin puts the noose of the rope around Ren-Bo's neck.
| - | Moral, man comes to art, and don't wait for art to come to him. |
He stretches the other end of the rope. Ren-Bo is strangled.
The henchman lifts her up and puts her feet on the stool.
Sin-Moo watches the assault, next to a police car. Flashing lights, but no siren.
VLAM! The policemen open the door, surprising him. They brandish their guns.
| - | Freeze! |
The policemen approach Jin In-Jin and his henchman with handcuffs.
| - | President Jin, you are under arrest for the attempted murder of this girl... |
| - | (vindictive) What right?! We just came to help this-- |
| - | ... and for the proven murder of your secretary, Mrs. Min! |
With pictures of Jin In-Jin and Secretary Min.
¤ Newspaper 1, "Insolite: President Jin murders his secretary".
¤ Newspaper 2, "Deadly slit throat with a letter opener for doing her job badly".
¤ Newspaper 3, "Jin In-Jin wanted to help a young woman end her life".
... the image returns in the tablet, which Kang Chul puts on the passenger seat.
Kang Chul calls Yeon-Joo with his smartphone. She picks up.
| - | There is a plot hole! |
| - | What do you mean? |
| - | A girl with butterfly wings! That would have been front page news a long time ago. |
| - | The entomologist should have known her since she was a child. |
|
| - | Jang Soo-Bin's story doesn't take that into account! |
| - | She wrote it without logic. |
| - | She just made the villain appear when she needed to. |
| - | No wonder he appears earlier this time. |
| - | Eun-Ji went to Jin In-Jin, to inform him about Ren-Bo. |
| - | ... !!! ("") |
| - | I knew that damn plot would come back to bite us. |
| - | What can we do? Otoke? |
| - | I'd better go home. |
| - | Where are you? |
| - | In Iksan. |
Soo-Bong waves to Yeon-Joo, a "cut" with his hands.
| - | Wait, Soo-Bong is on the case. |
|
| - | ... ?! |
|
| - | It would be silly to go back when you're already there. You might as well keep your commitments. |
| - | And you wouldn't really be of any use, apart from giving advice. |
|
| - | Then I'll come back as soon as the shooting is over. |
| - | Call me if there's any news, or if you need my advice. |
| - | I will, kiss. (hangs up) |
| - | Do you have an idea? |
| - | Not yet, but I will find it. |
| - | What do you mean? |
| - | In this! |
PAF! He taps the pile of 6 volumes of "Butterfly-Girl" on the table.
| (looks at the manhwas, unconvinced) |
| - | I'm going to dissect the parts involving the entomologist. |
| - | There are certainly details that will help to catch him. |
| - | Do you plan to create a scenario for this? |
| - | Yes, and with two of us, we'll draw it quickly. |
Soo-Bong takes volume 5 and opens the manhwa, first chapter.
On the page, title "Chapter 81", and Ren-Bo's upset face.
Upset, Ren-Bo frames the portrait that Soo-Bong gave her.
She covers it with a protective glass, then hangs it on the wall.
Ren-Bo looks at the portrait and the flowerpot, then at herself in the mirror.
Contemplating her sad eyes makes her even sadder, communicating her pain to herself.
| - | My wings... in essence they look like flowers. |
| - | I've always loved flowers, so why have I always hated my wings? |
| - | (broken voice) Why do I hate myself so much? |
| (looks at herself crying a lot) |
Crushed by an inner contradiction...
She has more and more difficulty to support her own gaze in the mirror...
She breaks down! She picks up a hairbrush and throws it at the mirror.
CRASH-KLING! The mirror shatters!
Ren-Bo collapses to the ground, and lies curled up in a fetal position.
Her wings are a sickly blackish purple and have horrible nervous jerks.
She is agitated by convulsions, similar to the post-mortem reflexes of an insect.
She moans with a high-pitched voice modulating on ultra-sounds in an inhuman way.
Ren-Bo as a child, one meter high. Her wings are dark blue.
Her father holds her tiny wrist, and walks fast in a hospital corridor.
She is forced to keep up the pace, among dozens of passers-by.
Everyone looks at her with disgust and horror.
Ren-Bo sobs, holding a pink stuffed rabbit close to her.
She passes too close to a man sitting on a bench.
SBAF! She accidentally bumps into the man's lap and drops the rabbit.
| - | (small panicked voice) Mr Rabbit! |
| - | (reaches back, cries) Stop, I've lost Mr. Rabbit! |
| - | (forcing Ren-Bo forward) Stop making a spectacle of yourself. |
The man on the bench picks up the pink rabbit.
He watches with pity this strange, winged little girl walk away.
He would like to give her back her rabbit, and stretches his arm slightly.
But he feels it's too late, so he holds the rabbit in both hands and looks at it sadly.
Analysis in light screens on the walls, X-ray sheets on a table.
Two professors, doctors, Ren-Bo and her parents.
| - | Don't worry, we'll do the impossible. |
| - | We can't let this girl suffer such a nightmare. |
| - | (small voice all fearful) What will they do to me? |
| - | It's for your own good, Ren-Bo. |
| - | We don't hide that it will be difficult. |
The professor points a wand at one of the X-rays, showing Ren-Bo's torso and wings.
| - | These blood vessels lead to her chest. Some of them are deep and difficult to track. |
| - | But with proper cauterization, the operation should go well. |
| - | Please don't tell us the details! |
| - | Do whatever it takes, we trust you. |
| - | (terrified) Please, I don't want to... I'm afraid... |
The doctors take Ren-Bo out of the room.
| - | (screams, looks back) Dad, mom, don't leave me!!! |
| (embarrassed, looks away) |
| (relieved, looks away) |
Ren-Bo's wings turn an icy blue.
| - | (terrorised, desperate) No, stop, for mercy! |
Ren-Bo is lying on her stomach on the operating table. Comatose, under general anesthesia.
| - | I start the ablation by cutting the base of the right wing. |
The scalpel sinks into a gnarled black and downy tendon.
Surprising the surgeon, FRIIITCH!, a jet of pressurized blood sprays his face.
| - | An artery! There was an artery hidden underneath! |
Ren-Bo's wing suddenly spasms.
Surprising everyone, Ren-Bo sits up, conscious.
| - | (screams) Hiiiiiiiiii!!! |
| - | Stop it! |
FCHIIIII! Blood from her wing spurts out at high pressure, spraying everyone around.
| - | I implore you! |
The panic takes hold of the operating room. Doctors are shouting.
Ren-Bo is flailing around with the energy of desperation, bleeding to death.
| - | Hold her! Hold her down! (tries to restrain Ren-Bo) |
A doctor helps to control Ren-Bo.
| - | Dad, mom, help! |
| - | What the hell kind of anesthesia is that?! |
| - | The body mass of the wings distorted the calculations. |
| - | Haaaaa!!! (tilts backwards) |
Ren-Bo loses consciousness, her body goes limp.
The blood continues to spurt, but less strongly.
TUUUUUUU... Flat electrocardiogram.
| - | Cardiac arrest! |
| - | Seal off this artery, for heaven's sake! |
Two doctors are applying compression to the wound.
One of them has a spasm, he leaves the table, and goes to vomit in a corner.
The second surgeon deploys the suture set.
| - | Emergency resuscitation! |
| - | (puts an oxygen mask on Ren-Bo's mouth) Impossible to massage in this position. |
A doctor brings a defibrillator.
He places the electrodes, the assistant surgeon coats the gel on the spatulas.
| - | Charge to 200 joules, monophasic. |
| - | 3... 2... 1... Clear! |
BAKLASH! Ren-Bo's small body is lifted by the shock.
TUUUUUU... Flat electrocardiogram.
| - | Again! Charge to 250 joules! |
| - | 3... 2... 1... Clear! (BAKLASH!) |
Tit... Tit... Tit... Small but fast beats on the electrocardiogram.
Ren-Bo, eyes half closed... her little child's heart comes back to life.
| - | The artery, what does it give?! |
| - | Hemorrhage stabilized, being sutured. (sewing up the black tendons) |
| - | We give up the operation! |
| - | Impossible to know her blood branches. If an artery passes here, there is only one explanation... |
| - | ... her wings are directly connected to her heart! |
| - | This hapless kid will have to suffer this her whole life... |
Ren-Bo has exorbited eyes, empty pupil. Shock condition.
She relives her memories, as real as the first time.
Ren-Bo drags herself to the floor in a demeaning manner, her wings purple.
In a fit of tears, she begs her parents, who are standing.
| - | Why do you see me as a monster, too? |
| - | It hurts me too much. (puts a hand to her heart) |
| - | Because of you, we never dared to have children again. |
| - | Who knows? We would have a boy with fly wings? |
| - | And to think that this abomination comes out of my womb, Oh Lord! |
| - | But I did not choose to be born like this... |
The mother grabs a wet towel and SNAP!, she whips Ren-Bo's wings with it.
|
| - | Aaaaaah! |
| - | I can't stand you anymore, you horror!!! |
Ren-Bo quickly slips backwards, using her feet to move.
| - | Look at the pain you cause to your mother. |
| - | Go hide! |
Ren-Bo crouches down, shuddering, under the kitchen table.
Her wings are shaken by involuntary spasms of pain.
The parents come out of the kitchen, but Ren-Bo can still hear them.
Ren-Bo's mother loses the strength to stand. Her husband helps her not to fall.
| - | We are the shame of this city. |
| - | I'm so tired of this life. |
| ~ | We are cursed. |
| (desperate, clutching her hands to her heart) |
In the parents' bedroom, no clothes in the closets.
Ren-Bo finds a big envelope on the bed, with "Ren-Bo" written on it.
| ~ | One day, my parents abandoned me. |
|
| ~ | They sold their house and disappeared without leaving any address. |
|
| ~ | Remorseful, or to avoid me being taken back to them... |
|
| ~ | ...they left me grandma's old house... |
On the table, Ren-Bo pulls out the envelope contents, which she illuminates with her smartphone.
A deed with the picture of the house, a bank book, a small envelope.
|
| ~ | ... some money in a bank account... |
She opens the small envelope and takes out a typed letter.
|
| ~ | ... and a simple note of Farewell. |
A one-sentence letter, unsigned: "You'll do better without us".
|
| ~ | I was in a house as empty as the abyss that inhabited me. |
She finds an old oil lamp and lights it.
|
| ~ | I never saw them again. |
Ren-Bo picks up a shard of mirror on the floor.
She cuts herself with it, bleeds, but doesn't care.
One of her wings rises, behind her head.
She looks at herself with her wing, in the mirror shard.
She gasps quickly, her chin trembling, resisting the urge to cry.
| - | Sorry... |
| - | Sorry my wings. (sticks her cheek against the wing) |
| - | I will hate myself as much as it takes. |
|
| - | But I will never hate you again. |
| (discomfort, no more energy) |
Too exhausted to get up, Ren-Bo clutches the edge of her bed to climb in.
She crawls pitifully on the mattress until she is fully lying down.
She crushes onto her pillow to cry. A huge crying fit!
PLUFF! Fairy Spark appears on the bed.
Ren-Bo doesn't notice her, lost in her heartbreaking sobs.
The fairy stands still for a few moments, unable to find words.
She reaches out to caress Ren-Bo's cheek and console her.
But she looks at her hand and understands that she is too small to do so.
So she embraces Ren-Bo's cheek and sticks to her, taking a bath of tears.
Fairy Spark comforts her like this, until Ren-Bo falls asleep.
Ren-Bo and Fairy Spark dissolve from "real" to "image", on the computer.
Yeon-Joo looks at the screen with a sob. Her breath weighs in her chest.
She stands up, takes a deep breath and looks up.
She wipes her tears and walks out of the room.
Yeon-Joo enters. Soo-Bong is sitting at the kitchen table.
With one hand he turns the pages of volume 5, and with the other he takes notes.
| - | Did you find anything? |
| - | Some ideas. |
| - | His position of authority makes him hard to pin down. |
| - | Couldn't you replicate what Park Sin-Moo did? |
| - | He was caught off guard at one point. It almost cost Ren-Bo her life. |
| - | With such a random manhwa, it's too risky to rely on a miracle. |
| - | In volume 6, it talks about Jin In-Jin's financial schemes. |
| - | He appears less in this volume, it will be faster. |
| - | I finished studying volume 5! (closes the manhwa) |
| - | (looks at Soo-Bong's notes) You draw very well, but you write very badly. |
| - | (gets up) I have to go to the toilet. |
Soo-Bong picks up "Butterfly Girl" volume 6 and heads to the toilet.
The radio equipment is , broadcasting...
| ~ | This nasty habit of reading comics in the toilet... |
The radio is silent. RRR-ZZZ...RRR-ZZZ... A snoring sound from somewhere else...
Young-Sik snores, asleep in the sofa, a manhwa lying on his stomach.
Yeon-Joo is pacing.
She holds Soo-Bong's notes, and tries to read them.
Sitting on the gogues, Soo-Bong reads volume 6 of "Butterfly Girl".
| - | Why we never see the hero pooping in dramas? |
He grabs some toilet paper to wipe his .
He remains seated, picks up the manhwa and continues reading.
"Lalala ~ Wizzz ~ Tip ~ Tip ~ Tip". Strange female vocals comes from the next room.
| - | (without lifting his head from his book) What puts you in a good mood, Noona? |
| - | You sing as badly as I write! |
The door of the toilet opens...
| - | Hiiiiiiiiii! |
Soo-Bong startles! He drops everything he's holding, and raises his head.
| - | ... !!!!! |
Ren-Bo is in the doorway, completely ! (we can only see her head)
She hurriedly crosses her arms over her chest. (we can see her bust)
Her wings turn bright orange. She realizes something...
Dismayed, she looks down at her body. from head to toe! (we don't see)
She looks at Soo-Bong again, terribly embarrassed, and runs away.
Stunned, Soo-Bong gets up and hurries to pull up his pants.
Stammering incomprehensibly, he walks towards the entrance door.
It's morning in the world of "Butterfly Girl"...
