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.
00:15She had beautiful face and big eyes. Guys lined up to pay for it.
00:19Dad found her up in the mountains. At first, dad wanted to sell her. He married that goat girl.
00:25But dad wasn't even a good husband. He locked her in a cave out back.
00:29$20 to spend the night with her.
00:32The guys in town went nuts for it. Dad counted the cash, grinning.
00:35Way better than farming.
00:37Before long, the sheep girl got sick. Her body started to rot.
00:41Yellow pus was oozing out. That cave smelled so bad.
00:44Dad looked at mom's rotting body and smiled.
00:46Next morning, he went door to door.
00:48No $20. Just a pound of rice. Oh, of course.
00:51So many dudes turned up that night. I hid outside. Heard her crying.
00:55Her voice was weak, fading fast. I tried to go and dad pushed me away.
00:59Get 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
01:05hill hole. He patted the dirt off his hands. His eyes landed on me. I know what's on his mind.
01:10I looked just like her. Pale skin and big eyes. Dad touched my face.
01:15You take after your mom. You're 15 years old. You ought to help me.
01:20I shook my head, stepped back.
01:21What'd you just say?
01:23I ain't going. I don't want to die like mom did.
01:25I raised you, you ungrateful brat. Mom's dead. You gotta fill in. Won't listen. I'll starve
01:33you. Wasting food on you anyway.
01:35Dad swung his fist. I blacked out right then and there. Woke up. I was in the cave. Pitch
01:40black. Tried to pull myself up. A white figure at the cave door. It's Sheep Girl. She stood
01:46there, watching quiet.
01:47Mom?
01:47She nodded. Walked over to me. I got scared. Crawled and ran. Ran home, out of breath.
01:54Dad. 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?
02:06For real. I saw her. She even smiled at me.
02:11Dad slammed the cash down hard.
02:13You're lying to get out of it. You can take it and on with us.
02:17I shook all over. Couldn't talk. I knew he'd really do it.
02:21Next morn, something bad went down. Lucas, the mayor's son, got sick first. He woke up,
02:28checked the mirror. He screamed his head off.
02:32No one had seen this before. Then other guys got the same bump. Carpenter, butcher, painter,
02:37all. All of them went in that cave. That cave was where Sheep Girl lived. They huddled at the town
02:43park. What the hell is this thing? What the hell is this thing? Is it gonna spread to us? It's
02:49that
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.
03:09Messenger, can you fix us? The mayor asked super fast. The messenger stayed quiet long.
03:14First dig up the Sheep Girl. Boil her flesh into soup. Sick guys drink it. Bury her bones.
03:21The guys all sighed in relief. That afternoon, we went uphill. My dad dug with a hoe. Soon, Sheep Girl's
03:27body showed up.
03:28Her body was perfect. No rot. Her skin was white, like she slept. I froze. She was my mom. Messenger
03:34told him to cut her. I stood there, watching them. They cut my mom's flesh piece by piece. Threw it
03:40into
03:40a boiling pot. Water boiled. Weird smell drifted. Guys lined up to drink the soup. After drinking,
03:45they sat down. The bumps slowly went away. Only a sheep head was left. Nobody dared touch it. Dad pointed
03:51at me. Bury it. I held the sheep head uphill. I put it in the hole, eyes open. Sheep Girl
03:57looked at me
03:57and smiled. We stared. Then I smiled, too. I knew she'd come back for revenge. Guys were energetic,
04:05healthy. They hung at the park. I feel way stronger now. Last night was way better. Wife says I'm a
04:12new
04:12guy. Then their eyes locked on me. Ryan, look. Your daughter's just as pretty. Don't lose this cash cow.
04:20Yeah. I got a plan. Next day, Dad bought me a red dress. He forced me to wear it. Hung
04:26a sign.
04:27Highest bid wins. Dragged me. I hung my head. Eyes stung like needles. Guys came out staring at me.
04:33Some even started fighting. 100. 100. I'll pay 500.
04:36I'll pay 500. Chill. Start bidding. Highest bidder comes tonight. Dad yelled. Lucas paid 500.
04:43Got first turns. 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,
04:57but I can't run away. Next morning, trouble hit again. All guys' tumors came back. Bigger and
05:02scarier 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. Sheepgirl's ghost saw that. She's gonna come after you.
05:30All the guys turned deathly pale. They all knew Sheepgirl's curse. The mayor yelled at him first.
05:36He's all on you. You ticked Sheepgirl off.
05:38Everyone started jogging him. Lucas ran over, all mad. He grabbed my dad's shirt collar.
05:44Give me my money back, now!
05:46My dad held on to the money kite. Nah, I ain't giving back!
05:50He panicked, scared to lose it. He begged the messenger.
05:54You got a way out, right? Don't let me die, please.
05:59The messenger pulled out some crosses. Gave one to each guy.
06:03Stick this cross under your pillow. Check that lump tomorrow.
06:07The guys took the crosses and left. Next morning, sun came up. Sheep bleats everywhere.
06:13Messenger ran to the field. Guys were on the ground eating grass, just like real sheep.
06:18My dad was right there too, on all fours, mouth full of dirt. Messenger's face turned bright red.
06:23It's over. We're done for. Worse than I thought. They'll be dead in 24 hours.
06:29Messenger, please save him. Messenger stroked his beard. He stayed quiet for forever.
06:37Only one way left. Cut down that old willow tree. Make coffins out of it.
06:43Every family gives their best stuff. Bury it with Sheepgirl. Everyone kneels to see her off.
06:52The guys' bleats got louder. They totally hated the idea. My dad got even more freaked out.
06:57He rolled around on the ground. Messenger spoke real cold.
07:01Do this, or you'll turn into animals. Then you all die.
07:05Nobody dared argue anymore. That afternoon, we dug her grave. The coffin was all set.
07:10We laid her bones gently. Suddenly, the guys could talk. Dad was the first to speak.
07:14Damn that sheep girl. The messenger glared at him. Dad shut up right quickly. Time for burial.
07:20Everyone was bitching. This is my family's jade bracelet.
07:23My 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.
07:35No way! That shit'll happen!
07:39I crashed into the coffin. My forehead was bleeding.
07:43Do what I tell you.
07:47Blood dripped on her bones. The bones moved a little. I saw her face again.
07:51She smiled at me. Nice smile, but creepy.
07:54I was too weak to say no. I swapped it all for stones. I came out. Dad closed it. He
07:59spat 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.
08:09The messenger pointed at me.
08:12Come here.
08:13We're burying sheep girl on the hilltop.
08:16You kneel there, last one.
08:18I followed him quietly.
08:19Women were cursing behind me.
08:20Why we gotta kneel for this bitch?
08:22Without the messenger, I'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.
08:32The smoke twisted into a sheet.
08:33The guys screamed.
08:34Dropped the coffin.
08:35They ran off scared out of their wits.
08:37The messenger went pale.
08:38He yelled, all panic.
08:40Pinch your noses!
08:41Quick!
08:42It'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.
08:49Helpless.
08:49Their legs got shorter.
08:50White fur grew.
08:51They turned into sheep all the way.
08:53Everyone flipped out from fear.
08:54The messenger shouted loud.
08:56Don't move a muscle!
08:57Move!
08:57And you're dead!
08:58The smoke lifted.
08:59He stared at everyone sharp.
09:00Then he asked, harsh.
09:02Who 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.
09:10It's her!
09:10She took the stuff!
09:12Everyone stared right at me.
09:13Their eyes were sharp and mad.
09:15My dad ran at me real fast.
09:16He kicked me straight in the stomach.
09:18I 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.
09:36Then 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.
09:48Everyone 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.
10:04Each 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, ba-ah 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, but prettier, with a red mole on her forehead.
10:54She gave me a soft little smile.
10:57Then 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, wondering if this one was even better.
11:08They laughed, staring at her like creeps.
11:11Dad licked his lips, calling her our reward.
11:14I felt super gross, like I might throw up.
11:16I knew they were gonna mess up big time.
11:18I stepped right in front of her.
11:19I told them they couldn't hurt her.
11:20Dad kicked me hard, yelling to me out.
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 said she's way hotter than his old lady,
11:55laughing like it was nothing.
11:56They sat back copying spells, joking around and messing up.
12:00I sat in the corner, dead quiet, staring at them, mad as a hornet.
12:05I 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 mixing blood and cinnabar, just 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.
12:38Stared 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, scared to own up to what they did.
12:55Nobody dared say a peep.
12:56So he turned to me, asked 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, barely talking.
13:21No.
13:22I mumbled weak.
13:24The messenger stared at me forever.
13:26He could tell I was lying.
13:28But he didn't say Jack.
13:29Because everyone was already better.
13:31And he had no real proof anyway.
13:33He 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.
13:40Dad 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.
14:09Don't mess with her again.
14:10Everyone sighed.
14:12So 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.
14:50Told 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,
15:05I played my flute.
15:06That was my sixth time playing it.
15:08Right after someone in town died.
15:10The butcher dead at home.
15:11Someone's dead!
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.
15:46He yelled at the bones to stop hurting the town.
15:48The other guys joined in too.
15:49Kicking and smashing the bones non-stop.
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, a barefoot doctor showed up first.
16:26He had on tattered old clothes and a beat-up medicine box.
16:29He set up a stall in the town park saying he'd treat people for free.
16:33Curious townsfolk crowded around.
16:35Talking to the weird doctor, someone 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 and started talking about the Sheep Girl.
16:48They said it was super scary back then, but they fixed it on their own.
16:53They smashed all her bones into bits.
17:00He didn't say a single word, just nodded slow and quiet.
17:04That night, I went up the mountain again.
17:06I sat quiet by my mom's grave.
17:08I held my flute but didn't play it.
17:10Staring at the village far below, a voice told me not to play it.
17:13I turned around real fast.
17:15The doctor was standing there, calm.
17:17If you keep playing, your 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.
17:36I don't want her to suffer again.
17:37His eyes turned red all of a sudden.
17:40His voice got all choked up.
17:41I stared at him, confused 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.
18:25Wanted him gone for good.
18:26Grandma had to send him 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!
18:54No legislator left.
18:54No.
18:54No.
18:54No.
