Short filmTranscript
00:00Every night, strange men come to my home. Strange noises keep coming from the cave at my house.
00:06Embarrassing moans everywhere. I hid in the corner. I hoped mom's pain would end soon.
00:11Everyone in town knew our sheep girl. $20 to spend a night with her. She had beautiful face
00:16and big eyes. Guys lined up to pay for it. Dad found her up in the mountains. At first,
00:22dad wanted to sell her. He married that goat girl. But dad wasn't even a good husband.
00:26He locked her in a cave out back. $20 to spend the night with her. The guys in town went
00:33nuts for
00:33it. Dad counted the cash, grinning. Way better than farming. Before long, the sheep girl got sick.
00:39Her body started to rot. Yellow pus was oozing out. That cave smelled so bad. Dad looked at mom's
00:45rotting body and smiled. Next morning, he went door to door. No $20, just a pound of rice. Oh,
00:51of course. So many dudes turned up that night. I hid outside, heard her crying. Her voice was weak,
00:56fading fast. I tried to go and dad pushed me away. Get lost. It's none of your business.
01:01Three days later, she was gone. Dad dragged her out of the cave, buried her in a shallow hill hole.
01:06He patted the dirt off his hands. His eyes landed on me. I know what's on his mind. I look
01:11just like
01:11her. Pale skin and big eyes. Dad touched my face. You take after your mom. You're 15 years old. You
01:19ought to help me. I shook my head, stepped back. What'd you just say? I ain't going. I don't want
01:24to die
01:24like mom did. I raised you, you ungrateful brat. Mom's dead. You gotta fill in. Won't listen. I'll
01:32starve you. Wasting food on you anyway. Dad swung his fist. I blacked out right then and there. Woke
01:38up. I was in the cave. Pitch black. Tried to pull myself up. A white figure at the cave door.
01:44It's Sheep Girl. She stood there, watching quiet. Mom? She nodded, walked over to me. I got scared,
01:50crawled, and ran. Ran home, out of breath. Dad! Mom's not dead! She's in the cave, I swear!
01:58Dad was counting his cash. He looked up, glared at me.
02:04What the hell are you talking? For real? I saw her. She even smiled at me.
02:11Dad slammed the cash down hard. You're lying to get out of it! You can take it and on with
02:16us!
02:17I shook all over. Couldn't talk. I knew he'd really do it. Next morn, something bad went down.
02:23Lucas, the mayor's son, got sick first. He woke up, checked the mirror. He screamed his head off.
02:32No one had seen this before. Then other guys got the same bump. Carpenter, butcher, painter, all,
02:38all of them went in that cave. That cave was where Sheep Girl lived. They huddled at the town park.
02:43What the hell is this thing? What the hell is this thing? Is it gonna spread to us? It's that
02:49Sheep Girl's fault! The mayor was totally panicking. His son Lucas was the sickest of all. He sent for a
02:56wise old messenger. People said he fights monsters. The messenger was a skinny old guy. He saw the bumps,
03:03knew right away. This is a sheep head tumor from the Sheep Girl's rage. Messenger, can you fix us?
03:10The mayor asked super fast. The messenger stayed quiet long. First dig up the Sheep Girl. Boil her
03:17flesh into soup. Sick guys drink it. Bury her bones. The guys all sighed in relief. That afternoon,
03:24we went uphill. My dad dug with a hoe. Soon, Sheep Girl's body showed up. Her body was perfect. No
03:30rot.
03:30Her skin was white like she slept. I froze. She was my mom. Messenger told him to cut her. I
03:35stood there,
03:36watching them. They cut my mom's flesh piece by piece. Threw it into a boiling pot. Water boiled.
03:42Weird smell drifted. Guys lined up to drink the soup. After drinking, they sat down. The bumps slowly
03:47went away. Only a sheep head was left. Nobody dared touch it. Dad pointed at me. Bury it. I held
03:53the
03:53Sheep Head uphill. I put it in the hole. Eyes opened. Sheep Girl looked at me and smiled. We stared.
03:59Then I smiled, too. I knew she'd come back for revenge. Guys were energetic, healthy. They hung at
04:06the park. I feel way stronger now. Last night was way better. Wife says I'm a new guy. Then their
04:13eyes
04:13locked on me. Ryan, look. Your daughter's just as pretty. Don't lose this cash cow. Yeah, I got a plan.
04:22Next day, Dad bought me a red dress. He forced me to wear it. Hung a sign. Highest bid wins.
04:28Dragged me.
04:28I hung my head. Eyes stung like needles. Guys came out staring at me. Some even started
04:33fighting. 100. I'll pay 500. Chill. Start bidding. Highest bidder comes tonight. Dad yelled. Lucas
04:43paid 500. Got first turn. Dad was stoked. Counting cash. 500 silver coin. Better than your mom.
04:51I sat in the corner thinking hard to escape. Lucas is coming tomorrow. I don't want to end up like
04:56mom,
04:56but I can't run away. Next morning, trouble hit again. All guys' tumors came back. Bigger and
05:01scarier than before. Lucas' tumor was like a grapefruit. Whole town was total chaos. They had
05:06to find the messenger again. The messenger's face got super dark. He glanced at everybody. His eyes
05:11locked right on my dad. What'd you do? What else was I gonna do? I just wanted my daughter to
05:18make
05:18some cash. My dad talked back. All tough. The messenger got so ticked off, he banged his cane
05:23down hard. You're asking to get killed. Sheep girl's ghost saw that. She's gonna come after you.
05:30All the guys turned deathly pale. They all knew sheep girl's curse. The mayor yelled at him first.
05:35He's all on you. You ticked sheep girl off. Everything started jogging him. Lucas ran over,
05:41all mad. He grabbed my dad's shirt collar. Give me my money back now. My dad held on to the
05:47money
05:47pipe. Nah, I ain't giving back. He panicked, scared to lose it. He begged the messenger. You got a way
05:55out, right? Don't let me die, please. The messenger pulled out some crosses, gave one to each guy.
06:03Stick this cross under your pillow. Check that lump tomorrow. The guys took the crosses and left.
06:10Next morning, sun came up. Sheep bleats everywhere. Messenger ran to the field. Guys were on the
06:15ground eating grass, just like real sheep. My dad was right there too, on all fours, mouth full of
06:21dirt. Messenger's face turned bright red. It's over. We're done for. Worse than I thought.
06:27They'll be dead in 24 hours. Messenger, please save him. Messenger stroked his beard. He stayed quiet
06:36for forever. Only one way left. Cut down that old willow tree. Make coffins out of it. Every family
06:44gives their best stuff. Bury it with sheep girl. Everyone kneels to see her off.
06:52The guy's bleats got louder. They totally hated the idea. My dad got even more freaked out. He rolled
06:58around on the ground. Messenger spoke real cold. Do this, or you'll turn into animals. Then you all die.
07:04Nobody dared argue anymore. That afternoon, we dug her grave. The coffin was all set. We laid her
07:10bones gently. Suddenly, the guys could talk. Dad was the first to speak. Damn that sheep girl.
07:16The messenger glared at him. Dad shut up right quickly. Time for burial. Everyone was bitching.
07:20This is my family's jade bracelet. My ring's worth thousands. Waste on this bitch.
07:25Dad was last up. He heard him. Rolled his eyes. He called me over quietly.
07:31Swap this stuff for stones. I was shocked. No way! That shit'll happen!
07:39I crashed into the coffin. My forehead was bleeding.
07:43Do what I tell you.
07:46Blood dripped on her bones. The bones moved a little. I saw her face again.
07:51She smiled at me. Nice smile, but creepy. I was too weak to say no.
07:55I swapped it all for stones. I came out. Dad closed it. He spat inside.
08:00Grab the coffin to the pit.
08:02He picked eight guys with small tumors. Slow and heavy. Step by step.
08:06Everyone else knelt in a line one every three meters to the top.
08:10The messenger pointed at me.
08:12Come here.
08:13We're burying sheep girl on the hilltop.
08:16You kneel there, last one.
08:17I followed him quietly. Women were cursing behind me.
08:20Why we gotta kneel for this bitch? Without the messenger?
08:23I'd skin her.
08:24My heart went cold, hearing that mom was the one hurt.
08:27She's dead, still getting cursed.
08:28They set the coffin in the pit.
08:30White smoke popped out sudden.
08:31The smoke twisted into a sheet.
08:33The guys screamed. Dropped the coffin.
08:35They ran off scared out of their wits.
08:37The messenger went pale.
08:38He yelled, all panic.
08:40Pitch your noses! Quick! It's sheep, folk!
08:43You'll die!
08:44Right after he said that, a few people fell to the ground.
08:47I watched them change. Helpless.
08:49Their legs got shorter.
08:50White fur grew.
08:51They turned in the sheet all the way.
08:53Everyone flicked out from fear.
08:54The messenger shouted loud.
08:56Don't move a muscle! Move! And you're dead!
08:58The smoke lifted.
08:59He stared at everyone sharp.
09:00Then he asked, harsh.
09:01Who messed with the burial stuff?
09:03Nobody dared say a word.
09:04The messenger pushed harder.
09:06Speak up now or we all die!
09:08Dad suddenly pushed me forward.
09:09It's her! She took the stuff!
09:12Everyone stared right at me.
09:13Their eyes were sharp and mad.
09:14My dad ran at me real fast.
09:16He kicked me straight in the stomach.
09:17I bent over, hurting so badly.
09:19Blood got in my mouth right away.
09:20The messenger jumped in quick.
09:22He stopped my dad from hitting more.
09:23Stop fighting!
09:24He paused for just a second.
09:26It's too late.
09:26Only one way.
09:27We need sheep girl's kin blood.
09:29Mix that blood with cinnamata first.
09:31Every guy in town copies the spell.
09:33They gotta pray non-stop for 10 days.
09:35Then carve her monument with that blood.
09:38And use the vajra knife too.
09:39The knife was his master's tool.
09:41He'd go get it right away.
09:42He'd be back in 48 hours.
09:44Told everyone to do exactly what he said.
09:46Mess up.
09:46Gods can't save them.
09:47Everyone was scared.
09:49That night, we all hung out in the hall.
09:51I grabbed a bowl of red cinnabar.
09:53First, I pricked my finger a little.
09:55Dropped my blood in.
09:56One drop at a time.
09:58The cinnabar got thick and stinky.
10:00The spell was working.
10:01All the town guys sat in a circle.
10:03Each had a piece of paper and a pen.
10:06They copied spells.
10:07At first, they were all serious.
10:09But soon, some started griping.
10:11They said their hands hurt from writing so much.
10:14I stared at them ice cold.
10:16These guys never learned to respect anyone.
10:19Suddenly, a sheep bleated outside.
10:21Just a soft, weird, bayah sound.
10:23Everyone stopped writing right away.
10:25We all froze up.
10:26Lucas was shaking, asking what was outside.
10:29The butcher wondered if it was the sheep girl.
10:31We'd all heard she was dangerous.
10:33Someone asked who'd go check.
10:35But nobody dared move an inch.
10:37Dad pushed me forward telling me to go.
10:39I walked to the door real slow.
10:41My hands were shaking badly.
10:43I pulled the door open gently.
10:44There was someone standing out there.
10:46Wait, not someone.
10:47Something else.
10:48It was the sheep girl.
10:49She looked just like my mom.
10:51But prettier.
10:52With a red mole on her forehead.
10:54She gave me a soft little smile.
10:56Then she glanced inside the hall.
10:58The guys saw her too, right away.
11:00Their fear turned straight to greed.
11:02Their eyes got wide, glued to her.
11:04They were gushing about how beautiful she was.
11:06Wondering if this one was even better.
11:08They laughed, staring at her like creeps.
11:11Dad licked his lips, calling her our reward.
11:13I felt super gross, like I might throw up.
11:16I knew they were gonna mess up big time.
11:17I stepped right in front of her.
11:19I told them they couldn't hurt her.
11:20Dad kicked me hard, yelling to me.
11:22He was the first to rush outside.
11:24The other guys followed, surrounding her.
11:26Nobody cared about copying spells anymore.
11:28Nobody remembered the warning at all.
11:29I lay on the ground, watching it all.
11:32They dragged her off into the dark.
11:34I looked down at the cinnabar in my hand.
11:36A smile slowly spread across my face.
11:39They're gonna regret this.
11:41The sun finally came up.
11:43Them guys trickled back one by one.
11:45No more sheep tumors on them.
11:47Nope.
11:47They all looked flushed and hyped like something fixed them overnight.
11:51A third was talking about that sheep girl.
11:53Said she's way hotter than his old lady.
11:55Laughing like it was nothing.
11:56They sat back copying spells.
11:59Joking around and messing up.
12:00I sat in the corner, dead quiet, staring at them, mad as a hornet.
12:04I knew what they did last night.
12:06Dad walked over, squatted down, glanced around to check no one's looking.
12:10He whispered,
12:11Don't tell the messenger.
12:13Said he'd break my legs if I did.
12:15I just mumbled,
12:16Yeah, I got it.
12:17Too scared to say nothing else.
12:19He patted my head and bailed.
12:21I went back to mixin' blood and cinnabar.
12:24Just like the messenger told us to.
12:27Right then, the messenger showed up, had an old short knife in his hand.
12:31Weird symbols all over the blade.
12:34He walked into the hall slow.
12:36Frowned the second he walked in.
12:39Stared at them guys really hard.
12:41His eyes got hella serious.
12:43He could tell something was off.
12:45He was like,
12:45Why y'all all better?
12:47They said they looked super healthy way too fast to be normal.
12:50The guys just stared at each other.
12:53Scared to own up to what they did.
12:54Nobody dared say a peep.
12:56So he turned to me.
12:58Asked what went down last night.
12:59He wanted the deets.
13:01I opened my mouth to spill.
13:03Dad saw and panicked big time.
13:05Then he just rushed right over.
13:07Kicked me square in the chest.
13:09I spat up blood and hit the floor.
13:11Pain shot through my whole body.
13:13Tell the messenger the truth.
13:15But his eyes said,
13:16Don't you dare.
13:16I knew exactly what he meant.
13:18I held my chest.
13:19Barely talking.
13:21No.
13:22I mumbled weak.
13:24The messenger stared at me forever.
13:26He could tell I was lying.
13:27But he didn't say Jack.
13:29Cause everyone was already better.
13:30And he had no real proof anyway.
13:32He walked over to the table.
13:34Picked up that vajra knife.
13:36Dipped it in the cinnabar blood.
13:37Started carving on the stone tablet.
13:39Dad leaned in, smiling.
13:41Was like,
13:42That's it?
13:42Hoping it was all over.
13:43The messenger shook his head.
13:46It's Temp.
13:47She's the sheep king's daughter.
13:49He'll come for revenge if he finds out.
13:51Dad got greedy.
13:52Let's burn him.
13:53Up on the mountain.
13:54Maybe grab more sheep girls too.
13:56Go if you want to die.
13:58I won't save you next time.
14:00Dad finally shut his trap.
14:02Scared of the messenger's rage.
14:04When the messenger finished carving,
14:05He held up the stone tablet.
14:07Put this on her grave.
14:08Don't mess with her again.
14:10Everyone sighed.
14:11So relieved it's over.
14:13They all headed back to their houses.
14:14I stayed there.
14:15Still hurt and bad.
14:17Then out of nowhere,
14:18The messenger turned.
14:19Then out of nowhere,
14:21The messenger turned.
14:22Stared right straight at me.
14:23Like he knew I was hiding something.
14:26He came right up to me.
14:28Do you want revenge?
14:30I just froze up.
14:32My mind went blank again.
14:34I thought about how mom was hurt.
14:36All the pain she went through.
14:37Her body was all rotting.
14:39That terrible weak look.
14:40The one she had before she died.
14:42Anger and sadness hit me hard.
14:44The messenger pulled a jade flute out.
14:46Shoved it right into my hand.
14:48Told me to wait for the full moon night.
14:49Told me to go to her grave first.
14:51Play it nine times no more.
14:53Said the sheep king would come then.
14:54Told me to tell her everything truthfully.
14:56She'd avenge my mom.
14:57Then he turned and walked away.
14:59I squeezed the flute tight.
15:00My heart was pounding fast.
15:01Revenge.
15:02I can finally get mom's revenge.
15:04Half a month later I played my flute.
15:06That was my sixth time playing it.
15:08Right after someone in town died.
15:10The butcher dead at home.
15:12His head had turned into a sheep's head.
15:14His eyes were wide with fear.
15:16He used to give sheep girl the most cash.
15:19Then Lucas died too.
15:20More guys kept dying one after another.
15:23The whole town panicked again.
15:25The women cried and screamed in fear.
15:27They said sheep girl was getting revenge.
15:29My dad didn't buy any of that cursed stuff.
15:32He rounded up all the guys in town.
15:34They grabbed crosses and holy water.
15:36Then they all went up the mountain together.
15:38They poured holy water on her tomb.
15:40After that they dug up her bones.
15:42Dad picked up a wooden stick.
15:43He kept smashing those bones over and over.
15:45He yelled at the bones to stop hurting the town.
15:48The other guys joined in too.
15:49Kicking and smashing the bones nonstop.
15:51The next day no one else died.
15:53The townsfolk all praised my dad.
15:54They said Ryan was really awesome.
15:56That's how to stop her.
15:57When night came I climbed the mountain.
15:59The full moon looked like a big eye.
16:01I sat next to my mom's tomb.
16:03I took out my flute real slow.
16:05The flute sound echoed through the night.
16:07It was clear but real sad and cold.
16:19Pretty soon the sheep king would come.
16:22Before the sheep king got to town.
16:24A barefoot doctor showed up first.
16:26He had on tattered old clothes.
16:27And a beat up medicine box.
16:29He set up a stall in the town park.
16:31Saying he'd treat people for free.
16:33Curious townsfolk crowded around.
16:35Talking to the weird doctor.
16:36Someone asked where he was from.
16:38He smiled softly and said he traveled.
16:41Then he asked if there'd been a strange illness in the town before.
16:44The townsfolk looked at each other.
16:46And started talking about the sheep girl.
16:48They said it was super scary back then.
16:51But they fixed it on their own.
16:53They smashed all her bones into bits.
16:55The doctor listened to real quiet.
16:58His eyes got darker and darker.
17:00He didn't say a single word.
17:02Just nodded slow and quiet.
17:04That night I went up the mountain again.
17:05I sat quiet by my mom's grave.
17:08I held my flute but didn't play it.
17:10Staring at the village far below.
17:11A voice told me not to play it.
17:13I turned around real fast.
17:15The doctor was standing there.
17:16Calm.
17:17If you keep playing.
17:19Your mom couldn't get into reincarnation.
17:22Who cared about reincarnation.
17:25She'd still get hurt in her next life.
17:27Better avenge her.
17:28Let the anger out.
17:29He looked at me with complicated eyes.
17:31Your mom suffered so much.
17:33I hope she'll have a good next life.
17:35I don't want her to suffer again.
17:37His eyes turned red all of a sudden.
17:39His voice got all choked up.
17:41I stared at him.
17:43Confused and sharp.
17:44Who you really are.
17:45He took a deep, shaky breath.
17:47I am your mom's dad.
17:49Your grandpa.
17:50Mom's dad's the sheep king.
17:53How are you even human?
17:54I totally froze up.
17:56Doc just shook his head.
17:57Told me the past.
17:59Sheep king's your grandma.
18:0030 years back he got hurt.
18:02Was picking herbs on the mountain.
18:04Grandma saved him then.
18:05She took care of him every day.
18:07They fell for each other slowly.
18:09Then they had my mom.
18:10Sheep clan hated humans bad.
18:14Hated mixed human sheep blood.
18:17Said it was impure.
18:20They found out our secret.
18:22Said it had ruined their clan.
18:24Wanted them gone for good.
18:26Grandma had to send them away.
18:28To keep him out of harm.
18:30A storm hit when we were gone.
18:32People got scattered everywhere.
18:34I lost her in the mess.
18:36Never found her after that.
18:38He was crying while talking.
18:40Said he's sorry for grandma.
18:42Sorry for my mom too.
18:43I've been looking for you.
18:45Tracked clues all these years.
18:49I want to fix what I messed up.
18:52Play that flute right now!
