NABI -The Butterfly-

After 2001 . . . A city somewhere in Korea. . .

An 'oblivion virus' that erases memories

wanders in a city polluted by acid rain and lead poisoning.

Many people started to visit to rid of their painful memories.

Hurry up and let's go.

Let's begin.

I'm looking for my family...

Wait, let me start over.

I was sent off to an orphanage as a child.

I don't know my real name or age.

I don't even remember what my family looks like.

I wasted too much time at the lost-and-found.

The guide and I must've missed each other.

My bags are missing, but I forgot what I even packed.

I won't look for my bags again.

I'll have to get used to letting things go now.

After my father passed away, my younger sister and I

moved to Germany where my mother worked as a nurse.

I was born in this city.

But everything has changed since I left.

And none of my memories remain here.

You're No.15 right?

Yes, there we are.

Can you speak Korean well?

We're late so shall we go?

My name's Yuki. I'll be your virus guide.

Yuki's a pretty name, huh?

It's Japanese for 'snow falling from the sky'.

Was it Anna...?

Anna Kim, right?

Anna's a nice name too.

Oh yeah!

My last guest was also an Anna, but she was American.

She said her name came from the Virgin Mary.

So what do we do now?

Yes?

Right...where are your bags?

Yuki?

How do you do?

It's our car from the travel agency.

Any luggage?

None.

Shall we go now?

How can you make such a stupid mistake?

You sent the wrong person.

What?

Yes?

Are we headed for the hotel now?

No, we're going right to the virus.

The virus is always on the move so we can't waste time.

Just a minute.

All right.

Take care of it fast.

Bye.

To Gonghang-dong.

Okay, get in.

What are you doing?

Come on, it's on our way anyway.

Ride-sharing is forbidden during tours.

We don't have time to lose.

Yes, get in.

Didn't you hear what I said?

No ride-sharing!

What did you just say?

Anna, let's find another ride.

Hey, get back in!

You know how important this is?

An idiot like you could never know.

Anna, are you all right?

Hang on.

You saw the butterflies, right?

They'll guide us to the virus.

Just hang on a bit longer.

Trust me.

Hello? Is this Mr. Kim?

What's going on?

Yesterday you said it was fine.

It's the first broadcast...

Yeah, I'm watching it now.

Do you know how important this is to me?

Hello?

It's not even a commercial so why should I pay more?

That's not what you said before.

Okay, I'll give you more if you give me more air time.

What?!

Hey, why is the picture so dark?

And what's wrong with the audio?

Anna, where are you?

Anna, where are you?

Can you hear me, Anna?

Anna!

Yuki?

Lie down.

Relax and lay your head down.

Are you pregnant?

How many months?

Seven months.

I'd like a new guide.

Anna, wait!

I can still guide you...

Yes, all right.

What about the virus?

What about the virus?

I said where is the virus?

Are you listening to me?

Why did you bring a passenger here?

Can you take care of her for me?

You got caught again.

How many times did I tell you to rest?

If the agency ever finds out...

Just this once!

Keep my name on and do this for me just this once.

Another group is on the way!

Why should I keep helping ...?

That's why I'm begging you.

You know that I need money!

I said no.

I'm sorry.

Please wait one more day.

How about another along the way?

To the Plaza Hotel.

Get in.

Man, it's cold.

Thanks.

This is a real old photo.

Must be looking for someone.

My dad used to be a cab driver too.

He put his graduation photo there to find his old classmates.

Did he?

Excuse me?

So did he find his old classmates?

He met one all right.

He turned out to be a crook.

Do you mind if we take the Manduk tunnel instead?

No, it's still under construction.

Well, the other drivers go anyway.

Anyway, it's strange.

When you try hard to meet someone, it always ends badly.

I really think there's such a thing as bad karma.

You should be careful finding that person.

Looking for someone can be dangerous.

Get out.

What?

Sorry.

I can't drive because of your babbling so get out.

What are you doing?

I have other passengers in the back so get out!

Is this some practical joke?

Get out.

What's the matter with you?

I told you I'm not going so get out.

What do you think you're doing?

The ladies in the back are waiting so go!

Don't shove me!

I said go! I'm not taking you!

I can't believe this asshole!

I have other passengers waiting!

Then why did you let me in?

You shouldn't have run your mouth!

You started first...

Just get out of here!

I told you not to shove me, asshole!

Yeah? So what?

Is this your car?

Damn right it is.

- This your car? - Yeah.

Ass hole!

You fuckin prick!

You wanna die?

Then why did you let me in?

Why did you kick my car?

You're the one who said to get in.

You better get outta here!

Anna!

Where are you, Anna?

Anna!

Anna!

Where are you, Anna?

Anna!

Where are you, Anna?

Anna's gone!

Damn it...

Yuki!

Yuki! Yuki!

I'm from the travel agency.

Are you all right?
