3화: 소년이 외부에서 가져온 러시아 인형 속에 숨겨진 불길한 비밀을 발견하다

3

A boy comes home holding a Matryoshka doll, or a Russian nesting doll. The mother inquires about it and the boy explains that he found it outside. The mother then insists that it's dirty and proceeds to take it outside to throw it away. Later that night, the father comes home and the boy is worried because his mother still hasn't returned from disposing of the doll. The father guesses that she's gone to the supermarket but the boy notices that her purse and handbag are untouched. Even later that night, the mother finally comes home and walks into the hallway holding the doll while speaking in a monotone voice. The boy glances at the doll. Some days later, the boy hears his mother crying downstairs and rushes to her only to discover her mother sitting with the doll next to her; she insists in a monotone voice that nothing is wrong. The boy then goes back up stairs, only to hear his mother laughing downstairs. The boy consults with his father, who brushes it off as the mother getting really into a TV show. One night, the mother goes to bathe, holding the doll. The boy sneaks next to the bathroom to try to find out more about the doll. He removes the top layer of the doll to find a small doll with a different emotion painted on the face. He continues removing layers of the doll to find other emotions until he comes across an unpainted layer with only a ghastly face drawn on with red pen lines. The boy opens the doodle-drawn layer and the screen fades to black as a loud mix of voices from men and women are heard laughing, crying, shouting, and screaming. After hearing the disturbing noise, the father charges into the bathroom to find the mother and son standing side by side with their backs to the door. The boy responds to the father in a monotone voice similar to the mother's, and the doll is now put back to normal, sitting on the table next to them. (Source: Wikipedia)
