The Housemaid (1960) Movie Script

Look at this!
A man from Gimcheon
had an affair with his maid.
Men are such fools.
Taking interest in a maid!
I disagree.
Look at us. We're almost
totally dependent on our maid.
She cooks and washes for us,
and is the first person to greet me
when I come home from work.
She is entirely at our service.
Such thoughts should not be said
or considered in our sacred home.

Let's go!
We all look absolutely worn out.
What are we living for anyway?
Our music club is the only answer.
Join our sports club
and you'll get free noodles.
The music club's teacher is handsome.
It gives us a thrill
just looking at him.
Noodles can't beat that!
Give me the letter.
What if he refuses?
Music teachers are romantic.
They are like a keg of powder,
and this will set him off.
We can't quit now.
You must all be very tired,
but singing is relaxing.
We're going to sing
a Bohemian song today.
Are any of you interested
in taking piano lessons?
I'll give you a good price.
I bought a piano and need
to make some extra money.
Let me know.
- The moment of truth!
- My heart just stopped!
Far beyond the Autumn sky...
Excuse me,
I need to go to the men's room.
He must really be in a hurry.
Do you realize what
this could mean for her?
You can't simply overlook
such indecent behavior.
- Messenger!
- Yes.
- Get Kwak Seon-young.
- Yes.
Miss Kwak,
the dormitory supervisor wants you.
- Something's wrong!
- Don't worry.
Did you write this?
Company rules
call for a three-day suspension.
What?
Good-bye.
I'm quitting,
because of the music teacher!
Are you leaving for good?
I'm so ashamed.
Love is nothing to be ashamed about.
You're wrong. The dormitory supervisor
says I'm a disgrace.
- Loving a married man...
- She's crazy!
- Crazy?
- Yes.
You've been so kind.
- Get some rest and come back soon.
- I will.
Sir!
Someone's at the door.
- Chang-soon, see who it is.
- I don't want to!
Do you want me to tear this?
Don't talk to your children like that.
Encourage them.
Don't kill their spirit.
Dad, you have a guest.
Darling.
- What brings you here?
- I want to take piano lessons.
Dad, she gave me these.
Come in.
She wants piano lessons.
Nice to meet you, madam.
Sorry for the mess. My job
keeps me from doing the housework.
That's okay.
Women always work more.
We've built a nice two-story house
out the back.
- You must have worked very hard!
- If only he would realize that.
Where is Chang-soon?
Ae-soon, find him.
Have you ever played the piano before?
- No, it's my first time.
- I see.
I don't know if I can teach you here.
I told you to teach in the new house.
I'll come back in a few days.
I'll show you where the new house is.
All right.
- Why did you turn on the light?
- I'm not giving you any.
- Pig!
- Come up if you want some!
Come on up!
Poor thing.
She needs to exercise to get stronger.
- Give it to me!
- They're all melted!
- Idiot! Cripple!
- Pig!
- Cripple!
- Hey, you!
What did you say?
This will teach you!
Raise your arms.
This will be a room for two
with linoleum on the floor.
It'll be lovely.
Where do you live?
In the dormitory, with Miss Kwak.
With Miss Kwak?
- Mom, my arms hurt!
- You're being punished.
Do as your father says.
Is there something wrong?
An employee sent me a love letter.
- You must be her first love.
- It's not funny.
The factory should
prohibit such things.
- Look, a rat!
- Where?
Mom!
Ae-soon! Ae-soon!
He said there was a rat!
Raise your arms!
A letter from Miss Kwak for you.
Can you tell me what the letter says?
I'm concerned.
She'll be back in a few days.
Would you like to read it?
I didn't need to worry after all.
"I'm getting weaker..."
"I didn't want to tell Mr. Kim
that you were ill.
He's not the sort of man
to say kind words.
We were foolish.
A rosy dream can't bloom
in late Autumn when frost forms."
Mr. Kim.
I'm here for my lesson.
Let me see your hands.
Factory work has roughened them.
Can I still play?
Take care of your hands every day.
Use this for a week.
You'll be surprised how well
your fingers will move.
First, place your fingers like this,
and then press down.
Give me some!
What's all this fuss?
Stop it! You're making me dizzy!
I've got you now!
- What's going on?
- Mom!
- What's the matter?
- Mom!
I was so absent-minded
that a rat scared me.
Get some rest!
This house is too big.
I need a housemaid.
Can you stand, darling?
- Darling!
- My stomach!
Miss Cho! Call the doctor.
Yes.
Darling!
I have no strength.
You've been working too much.
You're always at that sewing machine.
This may be good providence.
Thanks to that rat,
I can finally get some rest.
Miss Cho.
Do you know any housemaids?
I'm tired of all the housework.
Maybe.
I'm counting on you.
All right.
What did he say?
- He wants me to find him a housemaid.
- He asked the wrong person.
Do, re...
Come out!
- Don't you like smoking?
- Girls shouldn't smoke!
My co-workers taught me how.
It's a bad habit.
You'll go into a tailspin.
Tailspin?
Goodness!
That's the way of the world.
Would you like
to be Mr. Kim's maid?
I'm not sure about working
for a teacher.
- As long as you get paid...
- How much?
5,000 Hwan a month,
including 1,000 Hwan for me.
I'll start packing.
Me too, Dad!
Me too!
- You cook better than Mom.
- You're the best, Dad.
Stop exaggerating!
Pass me a plate.
Be careful of this bottle.
It's rat poison!
This can kill you.
- Can it kill someone?
- Yes, it's poison.
Take this to your mother.
- No rat poison in this, right?
- You're so stupid!
Give that to me.
Yellow rice.
Oh, curry rice.
Dad made it.
I can't wait to try it.
Do you like it?
Two men eat. One man die.
I don't know. You don't know.
What does that mean?
She means it's delicious.
Come on, my boy!
A stone!
Sorry!
Ouch!
- Sorry.
- Ouch!
Sorry.
- I was just pretending.
- Naughty boy!
- You're dropping your food!
- It's not my fault!
We have a guest.
Welcome.
What a nice smell!
I'm doing the cooking today.
- Is it curry rice?
- Yes.
Let me try your cooking.
Who's this?
- You said you wanted a housemaid.
- Oh, yes!
- Hello.
- Welcome.
- Mr. Kim made this, right?
- Yes.
It was good,
except for the stones in it.
- I saw a rat tasting it before us.
- Will you stop?
- Don't listen to her, Dad.
- I'm telling the truth.
I'll eat it if you don't want to.
I've brought you a housemaid.
She's not too bright,
but she is a hard worker.
What?
Use the poison in the cupboard.
- Good-bye, rat.
- Put it down.
Come on out.
What's wrong?
I had a nightmare.
All the rats were dying,
but they had human faces.
Really?
When I get too much rest
I have strange dreams.
Do you remember when you used
to come to my room
when I was a student?
Your eyes made me
want to give you anything.
Yes.
Since then we moved
from one rented house to another.
Now that I have my own house,
I can understand my landlords.
I don't want to rent out
even one single room.
You're so greedy!
We deserve all this for ourselves.
What's your next wish?
Another son,
and to send the children to college.
That's a long way off.
In the meantime,
I should get some sleep.
Darling, listen to me.
Yuck, a rat!
No, it's a squirrel.
We'll keep it as a pet.
I'll get some rice.
Dad!
- Is it for me?
- No, it's for Ae-soon.
- I hate rats!
- Take a good look.
Squirrels are wild animals.
Humans have put them into cages.
People thought that being caged
would make them move about less.
But they exercise
to keep their legs strong.
And you want me
to exercise too, right?
Thank you for the squirrel.
- What are you looking at?
- I want some water.
Don't drink that.
- Why not?
- There's rat poison in it.
Here!
Miss Cho is here.
Miss Cho!
Hi!
Some sweets!
- Don't fight!
- I'll bring this to Mom.
Dad, Miss Cho's here!
Getting along well with the family?
I'm learning how to sew.
Mrs. Kim will be a good teacher.
You must be having fun, since
he holds your hands to teach you.
What?
Come in.
I've been expecting you.
- Mr. Kim?
- Yes?
- Are you busy?
- Not really.
- She has a bad habit.
- What?
- She smokes.
- Really?
Chang-soon!
Mom, are these Dad's?
- Whose cigarettes are those?
- Mr. Kim asked me to get them.
- She'll give them to him.
- No, I will.
- Dad, a pack of cigarettes!
- Where did you get it?
From the maid.
She smokes, doesn't she?
- Give them back to her.
- No.
These are yours, aren't they?
Yes.
Here.
Here, have one.
Go on, smoke one.
You don't seem like that kind of girl.
Some co-workers at the factory
taught me.
Why?
So they could order me around
by offering me cigarettes.
I hope you learn
something better here.
I want to take piano lessons too.
You must never touch the piano!
Understand?
Darling, get some rest.
You should offer tea to our guest.
- She's a nice girl.
- Yes.
And a hardworking student,
unlike most others.
And she never comes empty-handed.
She has bribed the kids. That's bad.
I'll get you some coffee.
What's the matter?
Cramp! Please, massage my leg.
Let's get rid of that sewing machine.
It's not the sewing machine's fault.
It'll get us a television.
We don't need one.
We can just go to the cinema.
When did you ever take me
to the cinema?
Since you never go out,
our home must always be clean.
I've got an idea.
Let's go visit your mother
for a few days.
She can't refuse us now.
In the morning,
we'll demand eggs for breakfast.
I'm all for it!
Naughty girl!
I feel better now.
Your arms must ache.
Nothing compared to
what women go through.
Now you know.
Now do my shoulders.
Quiet please!
I'm going to tell you a story.
Yesterday we went to see
my mother-in-law, who has an orchard.
She wanted us to eat all the pears
on one of the trees.
Why didn't you bring us too?
We did our best,
but I had to leave my family
as hostages.
Poor man!
Mr. Kim, the dormitory supervisor
wants you and Miss Cho.
Kwak Seon-young has passed away.
She was my most beloved daughter.
School was too expensive,
so I had to send her
to the factory instead.
Why did you dismiss her?
What did she ever do to you?
Mr. Kim.
Mr. Kim,
let's play the piano.
Mr. Kim!
I was the one who loved you.
I pushed Miss Kwak to do it.
- I made her write that letter.
- You, Kyung-hee?
I can't keep it to myself any longer.
I would happily die
for a little of your love.
That's enough! You'd better leave.
I can't accept your love.
Even if I should die?
Why should I take the blame
if some crazy girl kills herself?
I see.
Miss Kwak died silently,
but don't expect me
to die without a fight.
My corpse may be silent,
but my will won't be.
My suicide note will say
that you raped me one rainy night.
I'll plead for you to be punished.
This will be proof,
for all the world to see.
If that isn't enough,
I'll rip my skirt too.
Where are you going? Stop!
Kyung-hee!
I'll say it was self-defense.
Look down.
I could easily kill you now.
I can't let your crush on me
destroy my family.
Kyung-hee, keep coming
for your lessons.
We need the money for the baby.
What are you doing here?
I was freezing outside in the rain.
You!
Give me a cigarette.
I'll get one myself.
Put it down!
You're up to something as well!
Getting stingy with cigarettes now?
Think you'll get away
with tearing Miss Cho's clothes?
You two were having quite a time
together. I'll tell your wife.
You...
Give me piano lessons,
and hold me like you held Miss Cho.
You're out of your mind!
I don't want to be second to Miss Cho.
Let go!
AWAY WITH THE MURDERER!
Kwak's death shouldn't be in vain.
If writing a letter to the music teacher
calls for a suspension,
we're better off taking lessons
from a record player.
Right!
Let's hear what Cho has to say.
I cried more than anyone
at her funeral.
It was as if I, myself, had died.
But you must hear
what Mr. Kim said at her graveside.
What did he say?
That Kwak may have written
the letter out of a whim,
but it could have meant
a lot of trouble for his family.
Thank you, Miss Cho.
I have nothing else to say.
Let us sing Miss Kwak's favorite song.
Beyond the autumn sky
A star is shining...
Take your hands off the piano.
- Darling...
- You're crazy!
- Can't I call you "darling"?
- Don't ever call me that again!
- Darling, don't be so cruel.
- Don't call me "darling"!
I'm your mistress now.
I deserve to be treated
better than a maid.
Cut it out. That's enough.
Don't get angry.
We'll act as if nothing has happened
when your wife returns.
I'm not a virgin anymore.
I can't get married to anyone else.
Don't leave me.
I won't take any wages,
and I'll stop smoking.
Just don't throw me out.
Welcome home.
Dad!
Did you cook for Mr. Kim?
Yes, but he couldn't swallow a thing.
- Did he have a sore throat?
- He didn't have any appetite.
He must have missed me.
Do you remember that girl who
got suspended for writing me a letter?
She killed herself.
I went to her funeral
as a representative of the factory.
Her mother was hysterical with grief.
I was torn by guilt.
She'll wreck the piano!
- Is it Ae-soon?
- No, it's not her.
Are you crazy?
You'll break the piano strings!
The last place I worked,
the wife swallowed poison the moment
her husband confessed to an affair.
I can't bear the thought
of you and your wife
sleeping together.
- Lyu?
- Yes.
What does the law state
about a man who cheats on his wife?
Sometimes he can get a lighter
sentence than for a traffic violation.
Once his wife forgives him,
he's acquitted.
Just as you wouldn't tell your son
you're a murderer or a thief,
even between couples
some things should be kept secret.
You are my senior.
Is that all you can tell me?
You're drunk.
You're rotten!
Even between couples some things
should be kept secret. You're rotten!
- Where to?
- Anywhere, and fast.
Let's run away from the earth,
or crash into something!
Anywhere! Fast!
A man came yesterday to collect
money for the electricity bill.
- When did the bill arrive?
- When you were at your mother's.
Three months ago.
They're going to cut you off
if it isn't paid today.
He came a dozen times.
He said it's cheaper
than a pair of shoes.
Is there anything wrong?
If you had a husband, he would
be happy to know you're pregnant.
Take this to my husband.
Just put it there and leave.
Don't disturb me when I'm working.
I've got something to say.
Will you please get out of here!
I had morning sickness
and your wife was there.
She said my husband
would have been happy,
if I were married.
Get me a place
where I can have my baby.
In seven months, there'll be
two more mouths to feed.
Dad, the television is here.
No television for you!
So there!
- Where should we put it?
- In there.
We're the richest family
in the neighborhood.
And we'll be the happiest,
when you get rid of those crutches.
Mom, you'll see me walk.
Run, squirrel! Run!
- Run!
- I'll show you!
- You startled me!
- I'm sorry.
I'm in my final month.
Soon you'll be father
to another child.
Apparently our neighbor
has a mistress.
He registered her baby
in their family.
- What happened?
- His wife threw them all out.
Darling! Darling!
Are you crazy?
Your child inside me
keeps waking me up.
What are you going to do?
Are you going to have
two babies in the same house?
My back hurts.
Give me a massage.
I have to tell her!
That's all for today.
He's acting strangely.
Darling,
will you always be there for me,
whatever may happen?
Yes, my body and soul are yours.
- Even if I robbed someone?
- Yes.
- Even if I killed someone?
- Yes.
Even if I got a girl pregnant?
You don't mean that.
I was in shock after Kwak's death.
You got a girl pregnant?
- Please, darling!
- Don't come near me!
How could you come to my bed
with a filthy body?
I feel so dirty!
Darling, you promised
you'd be there for me.
I'd rather you were dead!
Look at me:
I'm over the hill.
I happily gave myself to this family,
because I trusted you.
How could you smash
my little bit of happiness?
You think I'm always
after material things,
but they mean nothing if I lose you.
It's not all my fault.
Why did you want a new house?
This would never have happened
if we had stayed in our old house.
All you want is money.
We never have any time for ourselves.
So this is all my fault?
Even if I were to forgive you,
the factory won't.
She isn't from the factory!
Then who is she?
This is so humiliating...
So, it's her?
When did it happen?
Just before you came back
from your parents' house.
I think there's a way out.
I'll get down on my knees and beg her.
I've heard that you're pregnant.
I'll leave, if that's what you want.
I'll go back to the dormitory.
Once they know who the father is,
they'll take pity on me.
Listen to me.
As women, we should have
a heart-to-heart talk.
If you had a husband,
he would have done everything for you.
However, you're not married.
That's why I feel sorry for you.
I'll help you any way I can.
You're like a little sister to me.
I'll do whatever you say.
I don't want to cause
any trouble for you.
Then, do as I say.
She was easy to deal with.
What's going on?
Soon, everything
will be taken care of.
Thank you.
We can't let our precious lives
be destroyed now.
Take her upstairs.
I'll get the doctor.
Darling, don't just stand there!
Don't leave. Your child is dead.
I'll die too. I'll die!
You can't leave!
Well?
She's lost her baby.
It was your baby as well.
I want some water!
Water!
Help me! Help me!
They only care about saving
their own skins.
Oh, mother!
Give me water!
Water! Water!
Darling!
Darling! Darling!
Madam, save me!
Help me!
- Help me!
- Darling, call the doctor!
- Help me!
- Darling, the doctor!
Darling!
How are you feeling?
It's been ten days.
I'm still bleeding.
Blood! Blood!
Eat something.
I won't cook for a concubine, even
if today is the last day of my life.
That was mean. I take that back.
Soon I will give birth.
Perhaps even today.
- How's your mother?
- She had a boy.
It's a boy!
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
You're the father, right?
I can tell.
- Do I look like him?
- No.
He looks like you!
Go on upstairs.
It's a boy, isn't it?
You haven't asked how I am.
Sorry, I'm just overjoyed.
Things are turning out well.
Thanks to you.
There's one more thing
to take care of.
The girl has got to go.
This is Mom feeding the baby.
Idiot! Your made
her breast bigger than the baby!
- No I didn't.
- Dummy!
Why don't you get sick somewhere else?
She hasn't got a home.
Is she a tramp?
No, she's not.
Tramps don't work.
Then what is she?
Dad says we shouldn't talk
to people who are crazy.
Hey, get me some water!
I'm thirsty!
Are you trying to starve me?
I haven't eaten for three days.
Darling, is that true?
I was afraid to go near her.
Let me get you something.
No one should go hungry.
Don't bother.
I'll get something myself.
Anyway, I'm bleeding to death.
I'm being punished
for murdering my child.
But you'll be punished too.
You love your child, don't you?
A baby trusts its parents blindly.
I too would have loved my baby.
Stop it!
You don't care that my baby's dead.
- You're crazy!
- I'm not crazy, I'm just a fool!
Why did you kill my baby?
Your husband got me pregnant,
and you forced me to abort it.
Do you think my body is just a toy?
Children born of the same father
should live and die together!
Let go of him!
Put it down there.
Drink it.
Don't drink it.
This water is poisoned.
Rat poison!
You're going to die.
- Go tell your father!
- Chang-soon!
Dad!
Chang-soon!
The maid gave him poisoned water!
It was just tap water.
Why did you lie?
Your parents taught me how to.
You killed him!
You killed Chang-soon!
- All children are equal.
- You killed him!
My baby is dead,
yours should die too.
You are the devil!
I'm taking you to the police.
You'll be executed.
I promise you that!
Come on!
Let's go!
Let's go! To the police!
Darling.
Our dead child
can't be brought back to life.
It's better to save
those still living.
If the factory learns about this,
you'll lose your job.
What a touching scene!
But I'll tell everybody.
Whatever you want,
I'll give it to you.
Money? Clothes?
Give me the father of my child.
As you wish.
Darling, come to my room
to sleep tonight.
Don't stare at me.
As if killing the boy wasn't enough,
now you're after me!
This will be the last time.
I've decided to end my life.
I left a note for Kyung-hee.
- Where is it?
- In my room.
You won't even let me die!
Do you miss Chang-soon?
I can give you another son.
Let me go.
His funeral
hasn't even taken place yet.
Why are you up so late?
I'll get even with you.
- Want some water?
- I won't drink anything from you.
I can't sleep alone. I'm scared.
- What do you want me to do?
- Sleep with me.
I can't sleep next to a murderer.
Neither can I,
and I can't sleep by myself.
I'd rather go to the police
and sleep in jail.
Darling!
Go to her room.
Bring my breakfast up to my room.
Darling, I'll take up sewing again
when I get my strength back.
When I make enough money, I'll find
a new place to live with my children.
Dad, where are you going?
Your daddy's going
to sleep in my room.
Dad!
Dad, be careful
not to drink any water!
Mom, my squirrel has died!
She must have poisoned it.
Tell your father
I'll bring him his meal.
- Shout it to him from here.
- All right.
Dad, breakfast is ready!
For me too?
Don't worry, I brought soup
for both of you.
There's sugar in my soup!
But there's none in yours.
Want to swap?
No!
- Mine's poisoned!
- What are you talking about?
You're trying to poison me.
You're guilty of attempted murder.
Do you know what will happen
if I tell the police?
Darling!
What's going on?
I poured out the poison
and put sugar in the bottle.
I knew she'd try to kill me.
This is the rat poison.
Darling, is this the truth?
Forgive me.
I've lost my home,
my happiness, my whole life.
I only wanted to save my family
from this living hell.
Darling!
Stop your sniveling!
I have no family to save.
Get out! Get out!
Mom!
- Eat.
- I won't eat anything you serve!
You haven't eaten for two days.
I'd rather die than eat poisoned food.
Eat this to show your mother
that it's all right.
Eat!
Eat!
What brings you here?
I suddenly felt like
playing the piano again.
It has become a source of pain for me.
You've changed.
I brought your cigarettes.
No more piano for you!
You didn't come for your lessons.
- You're worse than me!
- Are you crazy? Put down that knife!
Throw her out!
Tell her this house is mine.
Mr. Kim!
Don't say his name, or I'll stab you!
Miss Cho, you'd better leave.
It's not safe here.
Mr. Kim!
Give me that knife!
I told you not to say his name.
Darling, tell her that you're mine.
Darling!
- Let go!
- Darling!
Kyung-hee!
Darling, come up!
Come up! You shouldn't be down there.
It's all over now.
The police will be here tomorrow.
Two of your children have died here.
Their ghosts will haunt us.
But don't worry,
only your wife and I will hang for it.
My wife is innocent.
Who told me to get rid of my baby?
And who tried to kill me?
Leave her and my children out of this.
It's too late!
You've ruined me, so I'll ruin you.
What?
I'll gladly die,
if that's what you want.
But you'll have to die with me.
That's what will
make the living happy.
If you refuse,
I'll kill your wife
and then kill myself.
Die with me.
Make me the happiest woman of all!
- Aren't you scared?
- With you, I'm not scared.
- Don't be angry with me.
- Let's drink together.
You first.
I feel sorry for you.
Don't worry about me.
I'll be with you for eternity.
You are so wonderful!
I'll ask God to perform
our wedding ceremony.
The flowers will never wither,
and the aisle
will glitter with jewels.
And nobody will ever take you
away from me.
You don't want me to smoke?
I've done everything you told me to,
even die.
Now I want to die at my wife's side.
No, this isn't possible!
I gave up my life for this
final moment of happiness.
But you said your happiness
will be in Heaven!
It's all over once you die.
Happiness is only for the living.
You can take my body, but not my soul.
Don't go!
If I lose you now,
I'll never find you again in Heaven.
No!
Darling! Darling!
My darling...
My darling...
My darling, I'm dying...
This is the only solution.
I've always loved you,
but I lost everything
the moment I betrayed you.
Darling,
what will you do after I'm gone?
Take good care of the children.
If only I hadn't wanted the new house.
I don't see how
a man of good character
could lose his head over a maid.
It's man's greatest weakness.
A high mountain
challenges him to climb it.
A deep lake prompts him
to throw a rock into it.
And a beautiful girl
stirs his most primitive desires.
His most primitive desires?
You could say that all men
are just beasts.
I'm quite tired. Is the bed ready?
Don't worry, I'll do it.
Having a young girl in the house
is like offering raw meat to a tiger.
Or a wolf in a sheepfold.
Isn't that right?
Listen to me.
As men get older,
they spend more time
thinking about young women.
That's how they become
attracted to women
who could lead to their downfall.
This is true for all men, even those
of you who are shaking your heads!
