The scene opens with Sungho's daughter, Shimhyung, speaking to her father, who is about to leave for work at the brothel. He is horrified to hear her voice, which he calls "squirrel squelch squelch squelch" . He asks her why she is in the brothel, and she tells him that she has grown so much in the past few years. He tells her that he has avoided going to prison, but that he still has a lot of work to do. He invites her to have dinner later, but she refuses to eat, saying that she is too young to go to jail. He scolds her for not spreading her legs until he is satisfied with her performance. He says that he is not satisfied enough with her, and that she should come over and "suck it." He blames himself for giving a man like Sungho the custody of his daughter and wife. He then asks his servant, Jun, to accompany him to the brothel to finish his work. He wants to know if he has heard any rumors about the brothel before he leaves, but he says that all rumors are "just rumors." He asks if he can tell him what is going on, and he promises that he will.
