Dark Nuns (2025) Movie Script
You have preserved, protected and saved
the three holy children...
Speak!
Speak! Why have you come here?!
You summoned me!
Protect us from the power
and the curses of the devil!
Im from the Liberation Order.
Marco!
Sister Giunia!
Father!
How dare you show up here?
You brash little bitch!
Lets wash you up first.
Is all that holy water?
A wretch who hasnt
even been ordained!
Moms spank hurts the most,
doesnt it?
You damned mass of cursed energy!
That wont come out.
Not until the exorcism is over.
Prepare a Franciscan bell, please.
You vile filth!
Ring it, and resume the prayer.
Who performs an exorcism
so incompetently?!
Coward, taking over a childs body...
Expel yourself.
Protect us from the rulers
of the dark world
and from the evil spirits
under the heavens.
Come to the aid of the human soul,
redeemed at great cost
from Satan's oppression.
Lord, have mercy.
Exorcism: A Roman Catholic ritual
to free someone from evil spirits
Lift up Your mighty hand
and extend Your powerful arm,
Nun: A woman who vows chastity, purity,
and obedience, living celibately in a convent
send forth an angel of peace
and strength,
Priest: An intermediary between God
and humans, officiating at Mass and rites
to visit and protect Your servant,
made in Your image.
Let all malice and wickedness,
Possessed: A person with
an evil spirit residing within
brought by envious and
destructive forces, be overthrown.
Grant that Your servant,
safeguarded by Your mercy,
The Rosicrucianism: An exorcism group
created by the Vatican to combat evil spirits
may raise their voice
in gratitude and proclaim:
12 Manifestations: Types of evil spirits
classified by the Rosicrucianism
The Lord is my shepherd;
there is nothing I shall fear.
Lord of peace, Master of all creation,
and God of my ancestors.
Look upon Your servant
and deliver them from every evil
and every threat that comes
from the enemy.
Protect Your image
from all harm and danger.
Through the intercessions of
the most holy,
and the ever-virgin Mary,
the radiant archangels,
and all Your saints, we pray to You.
We pray in the name of
Amen.
the radiant archangels and all your saints.
Amen.
You will die.
The most wretched death
among humans.
Youll burn in pain, crying
and cursing your God as you die.
The blood of all the demons
slain by your hands
will echo in your womb
like a drum.
Lets end this,
whats your name?
My subordinates,
whom you cast into hell,
asked me to tell you that
you will never see spring again!
What a load of shit.
Father! Father!
It went into hiding again.
DARK NUNS
Not at all.
He doesnt seem like
a patient like that at all.
Thank you for graciously
sharing the room.
Well move him to a private room
as soon as one is available.
Theres no need.
Even if hes possessed
or whatever,
this hospital is under
Gods protection.
Father Paolo is the new attending
for Patient Choi Hee-joon.
A physician who denies possession...
Michela, what do you think?
Does possession really not exist?
Theres a saying: the existence of evil
proves the existence of good.
Its the result of a combination
of dissociative disorders and
borderline personality disorder.
With a supportive environment,
regular therapy,
and medication, its a condition
that can fully recover.
We already have enough
similar clinical cases.
Wow.
You really are Father Paolos protg.
Alright, very well.
Is she human?
She spoke like an AI.
She felt so cold.
Youve even performed
a Buddhist rite?
Ive heard of a renowned
monk in Busan...
I just thought we should
try everything...
Mrs. Choi.
A series of events beyond
human understanding
can occur at times.
If you flip a coin ten times
and it comes up heads every time?
Itd be an astonishing coincidence.
But imagine that
instead of coin flips,
unfortunate events are
happening to our loved ones.
Weak humans seek answers
in the occult, superstition,
or in the baseless doctrines
of charlatans.
God tests us in these ways.
Your faith in Him.
Psychoanalysis and Treatment
of Possession
What your son needs is,
psychiatric counseling
and proper medicationthats all.
But Father Andrea said...
and the nun from Liberation Order...
A nun?
An unordained nun performed
an exorcism on the child?
We must hurry.
Father Kim in Rome
must be contacted.
If not him, at least Father Choi.
Personally, Im not entirely
against exorcisms,
but everything has its procedures.
A nun, though...
Father Andrea called
to request my help.
And you personally approved
the exorcism that day.
Im not denying it, but...
the situation right now...
Even the Seoul Archdiocese is
expressing disapproval.
Youre infuriating.
Easy!
Sister Giunia!
Why dont you wait
at the convent for now?
If you keep dodging like this,
you wont be able to handle it later.
Sister Giunia.
Ignoring a confirmed possession
is also a form of murder.
Father Kim taught her his way.
But they say her prayers
are pretty effective.
Shes still just a nun...
What will you do
back in your hometown?
Ill teach some English
to the folks there.
These are Hee-joons.
He attempted suicide?
He probably thought
everything would end if he died.
How could the boy know that
dying doesnt get rid of the devil?
The chief spirit inside that child...
its not just some minor ghost
or wandering soul.
Did the boy draw these?
Yes.
There was just one other case
very similar to this child.
You know, the unofficial one.
All the records were destroyed.
Devils that deny God and commit
heinous acts using human bodies,
that one is definitely
of the 12 Manifestations.
You havent been getting
regular checkups, have you?
Just tell me.
Havent you...
noticed anything unusual
with your uterus?
The cancer is rapidly spreading
to surrounding areas.
Doctor.
Yes, Sister.
Am I dying?
Sister!
Your next appointment--
I need to meet with Father Paolo.
Exorcism is a cultural practice
shaped by the needs of its era.
It has been long since degenerated.
Those who believe they possess
spiritual powers and can confront evil
call themselves Light Workers.
I heard about your nickname too:
Dark Nun.
Id like to discuss possession,
not get a lecture, Father.
Mystics who believe theyre special
often possess egos far stronger than average.
That intense ego,
bordering on obsession,
can sometimes create illusions
that people think are miracles.
Im not well-educated,
so this is hard for me.
Hee-joon created these illusions
in response to bullying and ostracism.
Possession isnt real.
- Yes, maam...- Hello?
Mrs. Choi?
Call it a devil or an illusion,
whatever you want,
what matters is saving the child.
Hes in tremendous pain.
Rituals wont save him,
only medical treatment will.
Without extensive medical records,
getting exorcism approval is impossible.
Hes had all possible
psychiatric treatment.
It is unfortunate that he came to me
so late, but my treatment starts now.
Delays could put him
in more danger.
A rushed exorcism could
endanger the child too.
Thats already happened, hasnt it?
Do you even know
what day it is today?
Yes, maam...
Will you ever pay me back?
Of course!
If you keep this up,
we can settle this legally!
Please, just give me
until the end of this month.
Im working to get another loan...
Same old story!
Are you sure this time?
Yes, yes, of course, maam.
Fucking ignorant bitch!
You killed off your hubby,
its a matter of time for your son.
Sister.
There are lines
that should not be crossed.
Have you heard of the 12 Manifestations?
Sister Giunia!
Either whore yourself,
or sell your organs, bitch!
I took pity on you
because of your crazy son!
You and Hee-joon are
fundamentally the same.
God is with neither of you.
He exists solely in heaven.
Let me make it official once again,
Sister Giunia.
So long as hes under my care,
exorcism will not be approved easily.
You should start by learning respect
for the church and its teachings.
Sister Michela!
Im sorry, Father.
Patient Choi Hee-joon has...
...jumped off the roof.
And the boy?
Hes been sedated.
He may be at risk of self-harm
when he wakes up,
ensure the staff takes shifts
monitoring him.
Yes, Father.
You impure spirit, in the name of
Lord Jesus Christ, I command you:
depart from here at once.
And never return again.
You shall no longer trouble us.
You have no place
in this sinners body, depart now.
Lets go together.
Sorry?
I'll drive you to Mrs. Chois funeral.
I have a hearing impairment.
Its congenital,
but only in my right ear.
Without an earphone, its hard
to enjoy phone calls or music.
But when it comes to evil spirits,
I can hear even their whispers.
Some claim to see spirits,
feel chills or warmth,
or sense them intuitively.
They call that having spiritual sight.
What do you mean...
What about you?
Do you see or hear spirits?
I know youre one of us.
Youre spiritually gifted.
Those who reject the path of shamanism
decide to become nuns instead.
Did a shaman tell you that working in
a hospital could make up for it?
Youre being very rude!
Before the funeral ends,
the exorcism must be performed.
The mothers death can distract
Father Paolo for a while.
Why are you so invested in this?
Because hell die
if we leave him alone.
I cant do it alone.
Youre Father Paolos protg.
What exactly do you
want me to do?
At least with you,
he wont be suspicious.
Father Paolo always said...
that the possession doesn't exist.
Moron.
What?
Did I ask you to perform
the exorcism?
Just help me smuggle the boy out.
Go over this and think about it.
Shit...
Who does she think she is?
Demon!
Say your name!
I am...
your stepfather,
your mothers enemy,
the root of your faith,
despicable fool!
Do not be swayed
by the demons tongue!
Marco, snap out of it!
Psychoanalysis and Treatment
of Possession
The Hanged Man.
Dont you think he could
free himself and escape?
Su-young, you can break free too.
You like drawings, dont you?
Keep them.
But dont let the nuns catch you.
Especially not Father Paolo.
Who is it?
Do you know what people
call kids like us?
Cursed.
A cursed child born of
a human and a demon.
Who is it?
Had a nightmare?
What could this crying sound be?
A goat for you too?
Must be.
Did you think it over?
Why wont you tell me
where were going?
To Juan in Incheon.
Hyo-won Altar.
What?
Hyo-won used to be a nun
in the same Order as me,
shes a highly skilled
and experienced shaman.
A shaman?
Are you insane?
To most people, you, me,
and shamans are all lunatics.
Youre unbelievable.
Is there anything
a nun like you wouldnt do?
If it helps with the exorcism.
W-w-which name
is the reservation under?
The nun tunic doesnt suit this place.
There are plenty of eyes here.
Was she really a nun before?
Did you take in a child of the spirit?
Hes a temple orphan,
his mom was a shaman,
so I took him in,
but he's spiritually dull.
Hes not mute,
but stutters badly.
His fortune-telling isnt great either.
What about that girl over there?
Shes struggling with her identity.
Lets have a smoke first.
Cake.
H-h-his n-n-name.
Rice Cake
Birth chart confirms it,
I see a hint of a snake,
but also a dragon prince
from the Underwater Palace.
A fallen spirit...
I think youre right, a demon.
Even if we exorcise it successfully,
his familys guardian spirits will
end up inhabiting him instead.
Theres no other way.
Hes bound to be a shaman,
just like the Cursed.
Cursed?
A child conceived during
the mother's possession.
Hes bound to be a shaman.
That might be better than dying...
He wasnt born to be a shaman,
but forced to become one.
Who are you to judge
and decide things so freely?
Youre right.
We acted too hastily.
If one came from water,
well handle it with water.
Should we contact Master Dam-eon?
Were running out of time.
The brat has quite a pretty face.
Dress him in ceremonial robes
and hell shine in the ritual.
Away, away, evil energy!
Suri, suri, masuri!
Sung-ae.
Why?
Do nuns get free
health checkups too?
Why? Do you see
the Grim Reaper near me?
Go get one, you idiot.
I took you for a greedy shaman,
but youve still got the gift.
Its been fading for a while now.
I bow in reverence to
the complete and exalted one.
May the sacredness be
illuminated and fulfilled.
Lets start the ritual!
Will you save this child
kneeling before you?
Yes, dont worry.
My poor, sick child,
Ill soothe your restless
ancestors and banish
the spirits that invaded you,
so you can live in peace!
Onward!
The waters of the East and West Seas,
the South and North Seas!
Are you the Dragon King
of the Four Seas?
The Seven Stars Dragon King
reigns in the air!
- Stop it already... stop!
- The Mountain God and Dragon King!
Its hurts, Sister!
Flowing Dragon King,
Rising Dragon King,
- On the black earth, where are the people,
- My Lord, my God.
my people are no longer mine.
Today, I will clear the fog
in this childs mind,
and bring him peace and clarity!
You stupid nun!
Do you think you can cast us out?
No! Hee-joon!
Hell just sleep for the time being.
But not for long.
Leave him to Father Paolo.
If he stays in the hospital,
others will be in danger.
Playing hero, are you?
Whats your justification for
being so fixated on exorcism?
Do you need justification
to save lives?
As you know,
I cant help anymore.
Im truly disappointed in you.
Where exactly did you
take Hee-joon?
I thought he should at least see
his mothers last moments.
Are you a funeral director?
Im sorry, Father.
Were clergy, yes.
But you and I are
also medical professionals!
Dont tell me you met that nun.
Its practically a cult
founded by Father Kim.
I know you drew these
back in the day too.
Be honest with me.
Do you think Hee-joon is like you?
Are you...
seeing visions again?
Of course not.
Michela.
Hee-joon can be saved.
Ill do it, no matter what.
Yes, Father.
Youre the proof of it.
Sister Michela.
Im going to Chungju
to be with my son.
Is that right?
Thank you for everything.
Park Myung-ja...
Park Myung-ja...
Patient Park Myung-ja,
time of death, 10:15 a.m.
The midday temperature reaches 42C.
Enduring the heat and ash
is no easy task for the bats.
Some find sanctuary under
the inner leaves of palm trees,
but others must search for
shade elsewhere.
This sometimes causes fights.
Exhausted by thirst
and territorial disputes,
the bats can move to nearby areas
where water remains abundant.
H-help... Help me...
Father Paolo... he took Hee-joon
to the cloistered monastery...
Monastery?
He wanted to try treating him
with the monks there.
The situation there must be bad.
Is that where youre from?
Over 15 years ago.
It was a prayer center back then.
Father Paolo!
Michela...
Where is the child?
Possession doesnt exist,
but youve barricaded this door tightly.
You came back with two masses
of cursed energy?
Did you think Id be
your guinea pig like her?
You thought a bigger cross
would solve everything?
Did you meet your friend
on the way here?
You cunning fool!
She says hello.
She asked me
how you two are doing.
Michela.
Hee-joon can be saved.
Ill do it, no matter what.
Youre the proof of it.
You have glorified your honor
by my non-existence.
Soon, youll lose that petty name
of yours that you fear most.
And your nephew will die
fleeing from the military,
shot by mistake,
his head blown apart.
Your beloved sister will
hang herself the next day!
Like that bitch.
And youll go mad,
just like your mother did!
Father Paolo!
Father!
Please, get a grip!
Father Paolo!
Father Paolo!
Father Paolo!
Father Paolo!
Father, snap out of it!
Father...
Father, please!
Father!
With even one drop of Christs blood,
we believe the whole world
can be saved.
Is this childs body so precious?
Sister Giunia!
You despicable bastard!
Exploiting the childs body--
Its okay, its okay.
Sister...
Kill me...
Please, kill me...
Dont give up, Hee-joon.
Lets not give up.
No... I cant do this anymore.
I just want to go to my mom.
No, Im not giving up on you.
We can do this together.
Just hang on a little longer,
please, Hee-joon.
I want to live.
I want to live...
Is this a non-smoking area?
Maybe this worked like
a talisman and saved his life.
Why do you fight so hard?
A monster...
Like a monster.
Youre a monster,
and so am I...
Perhaps God knows why
we were born as such monsters.
I came this far...
I fled and survived everything...
Just face it head-on.
Whats the key?
The key to completing the exorcism.
Confession.
The monsters true name.
Im Sung-ae,
Kang Sung-ae.
The Major Arcana card 5,
the Hierophant.
The Hierophant is seen with
two priests.
Each card has dozens of keywords,
but Hierophant is often drawn
when the situation is constrained.
Constrained situations?
Yes.
The original meaning of this card
isnt strictly the Hierophant
it symbolizes one who has
experienced the divine.
This deck is from the Golden Dawn.
Monks from the Middle Ages
who studied mysticism within the church.
Like the Rosicrucianism.
Take a look.
If you see here
when the Knight of Evil appears,
the Emperor is already dead.
But the Hierophant is
standing against it, very much alive.
The Knight of Evil...
The Emperor dies, and the one
who experienced divinity stands up to it?
Youre quite the expert.
Also,
whats under the Hierophant
is called Saint Peters Keys.
Card 4, the Emperor...
Card 5, the Hierophant...
Then whats Card 6?
Card 6 is the Lovers.
Six represents union
and completion.
Sister! Where are we going now?
The Hierophant, the two men
receiving baptism,
which means, we need a third.
You dont mean the shaman, right?
Do you know any
exorcist priests nearby?
No way, tell me Im wrong.
Hail Mary
full of grace
the Lord is with thee.
Werent you going to
teach English to the locals?
People often get sick when their
lifestyle suddenly changes.
Just stick to what Father Kim
taught you.
What more can you want
from a coward like me?
You said the 12 Manifestations
take animal forms.
A serpent that symbolizes Satan,
a goat for the sacrificial lamb
Maybe those arent demons after all.
Whether its God or a demon,
never trust the manifestations
that non-human beings take.
Giunia!
Because those manifestations
are just clues.
You taught me that.
Youre far too rude to ever be...
a proper clergywoman.
Thank you for your guidance.
Father Andrea.
Granted the power and mission
by God to crush the head of Satan,
O great Queen of Heaven,
Lady of Angels,
humbly I implore you to send
the heavenly army at your command
to drive the demons into hell,
fight them across the earth,
subdue their insolence,
and ultimately cast them into hell.
Amen.
Father Kim and Father Choi
cannot be here to perform the rite.
I deeply regret this point.
They are currently occupied
with other missions,
and I am unable to disclose
further details due to confidentiality.
Both Father Kim and the Rosicrucianism
believe that the entity possessing
the boy is one of the 12 Manifestations.
This is Father Kims message.
The 12 Manifestations will
continue to appear.
Save the boy by any means possible.
Cant you join us for the exorcism?
Youre a priest from the Rosicrucianism,
arent you?
Im sorry, but I am not allowed.
As a servant of God,
I must follow our Lords plans.
We need Saint Peters Keys
to seal the 12 Manifestations,
as well as the Gospel of Peter.
Those are sacred objects.
Moreover, they are kept
by the Vatican.
These entities are capable of
possessing even priests.
I will help you in every way I can.
Kim, you son of a bitch...
Isnt he your mentor?
You may curse me later.
Okay...
On the first day of the lunar month,
at the hour of Zi,
that is when all forces
converge to destroy it.
You must finish before
the hour transition to Chou.
Otherwise, its power will grow
even stronger.
Should we call Master Dam-eon?
No...
All the shamans are fully booked
for that day because of the by-elections.
Are you serious?
You call that an excuse?
Thats the day when
all ancestral spirits are on the move.
Lets go.
Im sorry, Sung-ae.
Sister Giunia!
So, have you found a place
to conduct the rite?
I plan to perform it
at the boys residence.
Its a remote area.
The Archdiocese of Seoul has approved
the unofficial exorcism of Choi Hee-joon,
and Father Paolo will be participating.
But he isnt even ordained
for exorcisms!
The Archdiocese has permitted it,
and as the bishop here, I approve it.
Father Paolo has received
special permission to oversee
Choi Hee-joons unofficial exorcism.
He doesnt even
believe in exorcism!
And a nun is not qualified
to perform an exorcism.
Father Paolo is a priest
of deep faith and knowledge.
Plus, hes a medical doctor.
Didnt you send a letter
to Father Kim?
I only requested sacred items
needed for the exorcism.
We cannot recklessly entrust such
sacred items for an unofficial exorcism.
Father Paolo will personally bring
the sacred items and oversee it.
This is insane...
Keep in mind that from now on,
everything you do
violates the church law.
Your abilities and spirituality are
only vouched for by Father Kim,
youre not even a priest
of the Rosicrucianism.
If I contact the Rosicrucianism,
could they hand over
the sacred items to me directly?
That might be harder than
performing the exorcism itself.
The Day of Exorcism
That was Father Kim's
personal opinion,
the Rosicrucianism holds
a different view on the matter.
In exchange for our full support,
you must eliminate the demon
by all means necessary.
This
is our will.
Even if the child might not survive?
Malodore.
Its the distinct stench of possession.
It means the demon within
has decayed to its very core.
Couldnt you have told me sooner?
Would that have helped you prepare?
That stench cant be washed away.
Its the main reason the possessed
are ultimately abandoned.
Thankfully, the human sense of smell
is the dullest of all, a blessing from God.
What a know-it-all.
Watch your tone.
You should quit smoking.
Secondhand smoke is worse.
The air feels too cold today.
What about the manual?
Is this a surgery?
Theres no manual for a Dark Nun.
Right.
Theres only one rule
for this exorcism:
use any means necessary.
Its begun.
Whats that?
Cotton flowers.
They symbolize the Goddess of Birth.
What?
Shes the ancestral deity
who oversaw Hee-joons birth.
Hes destined to be a shaman.
His ancestors will lend their aid.
Are you a shaman or a nun?
Never disregard any information
about a possessed person.
Still, were nuns, you know?
Even in Europe, they summon
guardian spirits during exorcisms.
Getting approval for an exorcism
is nearly impossible anywhere.
Lord, even though we use
any means necessary,
our hearts remain true to You,
please, help us.
Check him again.
What?
Youre a doctor, arent you?
Yes.
Even the demon knows.
It knows what you fear.
It shows you visions.
It makes you relive your trauma,
driving you to want to die.
And you, son of man,
do not be afraid of them,
do not fear their words,
for they are rebellious
and deceitful around you,
and even if you dwell
among scorpions and thorns.
Do not be dismayed at their faces,
for they are a rebellious house.
May your faith save this child.
May God's blessing be with you.
Bach Cantatas BWV140
Wake, Awake, for Night is Flying
Are you ready?
Its all over when we find out its name.
Yes, Sister.
Try not to look directly into his eyes.
If you start experiencing visions,
hide behind the icon
or stand behind me.
Yes, Sister.
Begin the prayer.
Lord, have mercy.
Lord, our God, King of all ages,
Almighty Father,
who created all things
and change them
according to Your will...
...who in Babylon turned
the burning flames
Sister...
Thank you...
of the furnace into refreshing dew...
Im okay now...
Wheres my mom?
I want to go to my mom...
Lord, have mercy.
I want to see my mom...
Sister...
Its suffocating...
Can you untie this, please?
Sister Kang Sung-ae...
When did I ever tell you my name?
You fucking bitch!
Lord, who is the salvation of all,
and who cleanses all sorcery and witchcraft,
may Your servant sing with gratitude
under Your protection and faith.
I hate it...
I hate being unable to move
my hands and feet...
Im so scared...
Please, let me out of here...
The bullies, theyre coming after me!
Please, save me...
Lord, Almighty
and Master of all ages,
You created all things
and change them
according to Your will.
You, who saved and protected
the three holy young saints
from the fiery furnace
engulfed in flames in Babylon...
- You are the healer of our souls
- I cant... I just cant...
- and the salvation of those who seek You.
- I cant, I cant, I cant, I cant, I cant, I cant!
Piss off, you filthy bitch!
Raise the breaker,
and relight the candles.
Just turn it off!
Yes, Sister.
Sister...
This isnt a demon...
It protected me...
It killed your mom.
It hurt your friends.
Its a spirit protecting me...
You understand, dont you?
Its a demon.
It will never protect you.
Dont doubt me,
I wont disappoint you.
You still want me, dont you?
I slaughtered your bitch mother.
I slaughtered your bitch mother.
I slaughtered your bitch mother!
You conniving bitch! Whore!
How long have you starved?
Its dirty! Filthy!
Remove your hand!
Its filthy!
You whore!
Remove your hand!
Useless shit!
- How dare you!
- And the savior of those who seek You.
We beseech You...
You deceitful woman,
lying about your god!
Whore!
Filthy bitch!
Your humble servant may sing
under Your protection and faith.
Protect us from every curse,
from the malicious gazes
of the wicked!
And from every wicked act
committed against Your servant!
Extend Your powerful hands and
Your highest and strongest arms,
and come to aid and visit this Your image,
and send upon it Your angel of mercy,
a strong and faithful guardian of soul and body.
You are trash!
You drool all night, lusting to kill
whenever you see young ones!
Demon, I command you
reveal your true identity.
Demon, I command you!
Tell me who you are!
Asking for my name this early?
In the name of Jesus Christ,
I command you to reveal your name!
In the name of Jesus Christ,
reveal your name!
In the name of Jesus Christ,
reveal your name!
Dont you get it yet?
I wont be fooled by your tricks.
Youre just a snake
slithering out of the sea.
You will die!
The son of Mary died
nailed to the cross,
youll die with a tumor
in your womb,
unable to even bear children.
Possessing a faithless child,
youre a pathetic creature
that only hunts the weak!
Lord, have mercy.
Pretending to react to the cross,
only to slither away like an eel.
Youre just a deceitful,
insignificant spirit!
A lowly beasts soul at that!
Sister!
Weve been waiting for 233 years.
I was there in 1791,
1846, and 1866.
We were involved in the deaths
of the 103 martyrs you revere.
And now...
we will kill the children!
Starting with this child,
we will kill 292, then 471,
until the number reaches 2,340!
The children will perish on land,
in the mountains, and in the skies.
Mark my words:
this child is the beginning.
The beginning of your
devastating defeat.
We?
Theres just one of you.
We are one and all.
Foolish woman!
Clinging to your pitiful prayers...
You pathetic humans lost
the ability to think for yourselves!
A beast protected by a filthy legion!
Tell me your name!
You always start with commands,
never with a plea!
Stupid wretch!
Say your name!
Do not fear, my son,
for I am your father.
Then tell me with your own mouth.
What is your name?
If youre going to command me,
do it with some authority!
You dare face me?
How dare you pray?
Kneel to me instead!
I am the sacred one
you must kneel to!
Worship me instead!
Shut up and say your name!
God created mankind?
What nonsense!
Is this Almighty Gods masterpiece?
Pathetic fools, drunk on power
and slaughtering each other?
Forget about us
just tell us who you are.
Who are you,
and why are you here?
I told you, didnt I?
I hated you.
I hated you!
I hated you! I hated you!
I hated you! I hated you!
I hated you!
I hated you!
I hated you!
I hated you! I hated you!
Bring me Saint Peters scripture
and the keys.
Hurry.
Hey!
What do we do now?
Youre a shaman who shouldve died
performing a ritual,
so why are you here
cloaked in the rags of Jesus?
Youre possessed
by a spirit, so, why?
Why dont you ask the cards
you worship more than God?
Shut up!
Its not over yet.
We cant end it like this.
Sister, please,
just tell me what to do!
Ill do whatever you say, Sister!
No one born of a woman...
Sister, please!
can oppose us!
Profound Dharma,
rare to encounter.
By fortune, I now find it.
Whos this worthless shaman?
Shut the hell up!
I seek the Tathagata's truth.
Want to save a person with me?
What?
Hee-joon, remember him?
Were going to exorcise him,
but we need another priest.
Me... m-m-me?
The essence of prayer is
sincerity, isnt it?
To be honest,
its my first time too.
D-dont die!
Hee-joon!
I... c-cant write a talisman yet...
So... so here...
at least t-t-take this...
Mantra of the Dharma Treasury,
Om Aranam Arada.
Om Aranam Arada.
You damn pests!
Shut up before I rip
your mouth apart! Shut it!
Great mountains, small mountains,
mountain spirit gods.
Great strikes, small strikes,
mountain spirit gods.
Great evils, small evils,
vanish from this place.
His stuttering is gone.
Those whove experienced divinity,
three.
Bow to the guest spirits,
spirits of the land.
Shut up already!
Shut that fools mouth!
Bow to the mountain spirits,
let go of all obstacles.
Spirits of the soil,
protect with sacrifice!
Today, at this very moment,
we seek blessings to go far.
Each and every place,
beyond a thousand miles.
Otherworldly beings, do not return.
Hurry, follow the law of the cycle, Svaha!
Hurry, follow the law of the cycle, Svaha!
Lord who loves humanity.
Protector of souls and bodies.
Send the angel of peace
and strength,
visit and aid this child,
created in Your image.
In the name of the Son
and the Holy Spirit...
I have not come to ruin your lives!
I am your savior!
He stole the scripture and fled?
Master, should I send my men
to catch that bastard?
Leave it.
Everyone there is going to die today.
Crazy bitch...
Bow to the guest spirits,
spirits of the land.
Protect with the self-sacrifice
of the household.
Today, at this very moment,
seek blessings to go far.
Most holy and glorious Mother of God,
eternal Virgin Mary and
the Archangels who radiate light,
I plead in the names of
all Your saints.
- Be with us brothers always and everywhere.
- Shut up!
- In the name of the Father, the Son,
- Shut up!
and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
I ask you,
what are your names?
First murderer.
Where did you come from?
Even in the muzzle of the guns
you humans point at each other,
in polluted wells,
and in cities built on deserts...
in all places where gravity exists,
I have been with you.
O humans, who cannot
fully understand gravity,
I am the God...
It hurts... Please save me...
Sister... Please save me...
The Lord is my shepherd,
with Him, who can harm me?
I do not fear because
I am with You, my God.
Sister... Please save me...
Youre right.
Ill imprison you within my womb.
How dare you...
even consider forcing me
into your rotten womb?
The filthy womb where you
promised purity to Him?
Consider it an honor,
you worthless horse head.
You crazy wench,
go ahead and try!
Come, embrace me!
I'll be reborn as a demon!
I'll honor you as my mother!
Mountain spirits of the western
and southern mountains!
Mountain spirits of the great
and small mountains!
Spirits of great strikes
and small strikes!
Great evils and small evils,
Whats your name, you vile spirit?
Sister...
Your name.
Call me Annihilation.
Youre bacteria that make
rotten fruit decay even further.
Your name!
I existed everywhere
since the beginning.
Those who fear us call us
the 12 Manifestations.
Do you dare call yourself
the 12 Manifestations?
Hee-joon... Hee-joon...
Hee-joon! Please hang in there!
Come forth, come forth!
You cowardly spirit dwelling in
a weak child! Pathetic wretch!
Youre nothing more than a bug,
found in every corner!
A worthless shadow at night,
a minion of the 12 Manifestations!
A servant of evil bowing
before an unordained nun!
A mere pony of Marbas!
How dare you call me a lowly spirit...
You, of all people...
You arrogant wretch...
You filthy woman!
I am none other than
the Grand Duke of Hell!
Tell me your name.
Tell me and make me
tremble in fear!
I am the Grand Duke of Hell.
I am Gamigin!
Granted the power and mission
by God to crush the head of Satan,
O great Queen of Heaven,
Lady of Angels,
humbly I implore you to send
the heavenly army at your command
to drive the demons into hell,
fight them across the earth,
subdue their insolence,
and ultimately cast them into hell.
Amen.
In the name of the Father, the Son,
and the Holy Spirit, I command you,
Gamigin! Come out of there!
Lord, humans feel such sorrow...
yet the sea remains so blue.
Thank you, Sister.
Youve done well.
Lord, hear our prayers.
Saint Michael, hear our prayers.
Saint Gabriel, hear our prayers.
Saint Raphael, hear our prayers.
Lord, hear our prayers.
Saint Michael, hear our praye...
Sister...
Are you okay?
Good job.
Look after Hee-joon first.
Take him to the nearest church.
Gamigin will try to return
to Hee-joons body.
Hurry, go.
What about you?
Ring the church bell
three times from the tower.
So that I can hear it.
What about you?
For heavens sake...
Go, theres no time.
You need to save Hee-joon.
I... I dont want to.
No... Lets find another way...
There must be another way, please?
Save Hee-joon.
Youre insane...
You crazy bitch!
In the name of Lord Jesus Christ
and the Virgin Mary,
I command you, leave at once.
Lord...
Delay judgment and grant me
the wisdom to save my neighbor.
Bestow upon us
the grace of salvation.
Lord, please watch over us.
Step aside! Please, step aside!
Im sorry!
Im sorry! Please move aside!
Please move!
Make way! Im sorry!
Out of the way!
Shit!
Is this nun crazy?
Let me go!
Im sorry! Im sorry!
Shit!
Are you insane?!
Im okay...
Get going!
Just go!
Leave us,
and never return to this place.
Never touch us again.
Never hurt the children again.
Lord Jesus Christ, Holy Virgin Mary,
and Saint Michael the Archangel,
fight for us, please.
Im sorry...
Im sorry.
Just a moment!
Hee-joon!
Hee-joon!
Go to the hospital with Hee-joon.
I need to go to Sister Giunia.
N-no, you cant!
I have to go check on her!
Sister, are you okay?
Its okay, Im fine.
O Immaculate Virgin,
angels and archangels,
all the saints in heaven,
descend upon me.
Melt me, renew me,
cast all evils into the fires of hell,
fill me with Your presence
and use me as Your tool...
So that they may
never again touch
any of the creatures
of this world.
Please protect us.
In the name of the Father,
and of the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
The Rosicrucianism Parish
I didnt think youd come
in person.
Im the one responsible
for the rite in question.
How is the boy?
I heard youve been taking care
of him personally.
Hes recovering quickly
but it will still take a long time.
Yes! But...
Yes?
I heard you werent
particularly fond of us...
Lets just say we were
very cautious about the rite.
I wasnt serious...
We all have freedom,
free to choose.
Both you, me,
and Sister Giunia.
Kang Sung-ae
Sister Giunia
Where are we going?
Wherever the 12 Manifestations show up.
Do you think I can do this?
Youve already learned everything.
I was told Sister Giunia taught you
everything you need to know.
the three holy children...
Speak!
Speak! Why have you come here?!
You summoned me!
Protect us from the power
and the curses of the devil!
Im from the Liberation Order.
Marco!
Sister Giunia!
Father!
How dare you show up here?
You brash little bitch!
Lets wash you up first.
Is all that holy water?
A wretch who hasnt
even been ordained!
Moms spank hurts the most,
doesnt it?
You damned mass of cursed energy!
That wont come out.
Not until the exorcism is over.
Prepare a Franciscan bell, please.
You vile filth!
Ring it, and resume the prayer.
Who performs an exorcism
so incompetently?!
Coward, taking over a childs body...
Expel yourself.
Protect us from the rulers
of the dark world
and from the evil spirits
under the heavens.
Come to the aid of the human soul,
redeemed at great cost
from Satan's oppression.
Lord, have mercy.

Lets end this,
whats your name?
My subordinates,
whom you cast into hell,

What a load of shit.
Father! Father!
It went into hiding again.
DARK NUNS
Not at all.
He doesnt seem like
a patient like that at all.
Thank you for graciously
sharing the room.
Well move him to a private room
as soon as one is available.
Theres no need.
Even if hes possessed
or whatever,
this hospital is under
Gods protection.
Father Paolo is the new attending
for Patient Choi Hee-joon.
A physician who denies possession...
Michela, what do you think?
Does possession really not exist?
Theres a saying: the existence of evil
proves the existence of good.
Its the result of a combination
of dissociative disorders and
borderline personality disorder.
With a supportive environment,
regular therapy,
and medication, its a condition
that can fully recover.
We already have enough
similar clinical cases.
Wow.
You really are Father Paolos protg.
Alright, very well.
Is she human?
She spoke like an AI.
She felt so cold.
Youve even performed
a Buddhist rite?
Ive heard of a renowned
monk in Busan...
I just thought we should
try everything...
Mrs. Choi.
A series of events beyond
human understanding
can occur at times.
If you flip a coin ten times
and it comes up heads every time?
Itd be an astonishing coincidence.
But imagine that
instead of coin flips,
unfortunate events are
happening to our loved ones.
Weak humans seek answers
in the occult, superstition,
or in the baseless doctrines
of charlatans.
God tests us in these ways.
Your faith in Him.
Psychoanalysis and Treatment
of Possession
What your son needs is,
psychiatric counseling
and proper medicationthats all.
But Father Andrea said...
and the nun from Liberation Order...
A nun?
An unordained nun performed
an exorcism on the child?
We must hurry.
Father Kim in Rome
must be contacted.
If not him, at least Father Choi.
Personally, Im not entirely
against exorcisms,
but everything has its procedures.
A nun, though...
Father Andrea called
to request my help.
And you personally approved
the exorcism that day.
Im not denying it, but...
the situation right now...
Even the Seoul Archdiocese is
expressing disapproval.
Youre infuriating.
Easy!
Sister Giunia!
Why dont you wait
at the convent for now?
If you keep dodging like this,
you wont be able to handle it later.
Sister Giunia.
Ignoring a confirmed possession
is also a form of murder.
Father Kim taught her his way.
But they say her prayers
are pretty effective.
Shes still just a nun...
What will you do
back in your hometown?
Ill teach some English
to the folks there.
These are Hee-joons.
He attempted suicide?
He probably thought
everything would end if he died.
How could the boy know that
dying doesnt get rid of the devil?
The chief spirit inside that child...
its not just some minor ghost
or wandering soul.
Did the boy draw these?
Yes.
There was just one other case
very similar to this child.
You know, the unofficial one.
All the records were destroyed.
Devils that deny God and commit
heinous acts using human bodies,
that one is definitely
of the 12 Manifestations.
You havent been getting
regular checkups, have you?
Just tell me.
Havent you...
noticed anything unusual
with your uterus?
The cancer is rapidly spreading
to surrounding areas.
Doctor.
Yes, Sister.
Am I dying?
Sister!
Your next appointment--
I need to meet with Father Paolo.
Exorcism is a cultural practice
shaped by the needs of its era.
It has been long since degenerated.
Those who believe they possess
spiritual powers and can confront evil
call themselves Light Workers.
I heard about your nickname too:
Dark Nun.
Id like to discuss possession,
not get a lecture, Father.
Mystics who believe theyre special
often possess egos far stronger than average.
That intense ego,
bordering on obsession,
can sometimes create illusions
that people think are miracles.
Im not well-educated,
so this is hard for me.
Hee-joon created these illusions
in response to bullying and ostracism.
Possession isnt real.
- Yes, maam...- Hello?
Mrs. Choi?
Call it a devil or an illusion,
whatever you want,
what matters is saving the child.
Hes in tremendous pain.
Rituals wont save him,
only medical treatment will.
Without extensive medical records,
getting exorcism approval is impossible.
Hes had all possible
psychiatric treatment.
It is unfortunate that he came to me
so late, but my treatment starts now.
Delays could put him
in more danger.
A rushed exorcism could
endanger the child too.
Thats already happened, hasnt it?
Do you even know
what day it is today?
Yes, maam...
Will you ever pay me back?
Of course!
If you keep this up,
we can settle this legally!
Please, just give me
until the end of this month.
Im working to get another loan...
Same old story!
Are you sure this time?
Yes, yes, of course, maam.
Fucking ignorant bitch!
You killed off your hubby,
its a matter of time for your son.
Sister.
There are lines
that should not be crossed.
Have you heard of the 12 Manifestations?
Sister Giunia!
Either whore yourself,
or sell your organs, bitch!
I took pity on you
because of your crazy son!
You and Hee-joon are
fundamentally the same.
God is with neither of you.
He exists solely in heaven.
Let me make it official once again,
Sister Giunia.
So long as hes under my care,
exorcism will not be approved easily.
You should start by learning respect
for the church and its teachings.
Sister Michela!
Im sorry, Father.
Patient Choi Hee-joon has...
...jumped off the roof.
And the boy?
Hes been sedated.
He may be at risk of self-harm
when he wakes up,
ensure the staff takes shifts
monitoring him.
Yes, Father.
You impure spirit, in the name of
Lord Jesus Christ, I command you:
depart from here at once.
And never return again.
You shall no longer trouble us.
You have no place
in this sinners body, depart now.
Lets go together.
Sorry?
I'll drive you to Mrs. Chois funeral.
I have a hearing impairment.
Its congenital,
but only in my right ear.
Without an earphone, its hard
to enjoy phone calls or music.
But when it comes to evil spirits,
I can hear even their whispers.
Some claim to see spirits,
feel chills or warmth,
or sense them intuitively.
They call that having spiritual sight.
What do you mean...
What about you?
Do you see or hear spirits?
I know youre one of us.
Youre spiritually gifted.
Those who reject the path of shamanism
decide to become nuns instead.
Did a shaman tell you that working in
a hospital could make up for it?
Youre being very rude!
Before the funeral ends,
the exorcism must be performed.
The mothers death can distract
Father Paolo for a while.
Why are you so invested in this?
Because hell die
if we leave him alone.
I cant do it alone.
Youre Father Paolos protg.
What exactly do you
want me to do?
At least with you,
he wont be suspicious.
Father Paolo always said...
that the possession doesn't exist.
Moron.
What?
Did I ask you to perform
the exorcism?
Just help me smuggle the boy out.
Go over this and think about it.
Shit...
Who does she think she is?
Demon!
Say your name!
I am...
your stepfather,
your mothers enemy,
the root of your faith,
despicable fool!
Do not be swayed
by the demons tongue!
Marco, snap out of it!
Psychoanalysis and Treatment
of Possession
The Hanged Man.
Dont you think he could
free himself and escape?
Su-young, you can break free too.
You like drawings, dont you?
Keep them.
But dont let the nuns catch you.
Especially not Father Paolo.
Who is it?
Do you know what people
call kids like us?
Cursed.
A cursed child born of
a human and a demon.
Who is it?
Had a nightmare?
What could this crying sound be?
A goat for you too?
Must be.
Did you think it over?
Why wont you tell me
where were going?
To Juan in Incheon.
Hyo-won Altar.
What?
Hyo-won used to be a nun
in the same Order as me,
shes a highly skilled
and experienced shaman.
A shaman?
Are you insane?
To most people, you, me,
and shamans are all lunatics.
Youre unbelievable.
Is there anything
a nun like you wouldnt do?
If it helps with the exorcism.
W-w-which name
is the reservation under?
The nun tunic doesnt suit this place.
There are plenty of eyes here.
Was she really a nun before?
Did you take in a child of the spirit?
Hes a temple orphan,
his mom was a shaman,
so I took him in,
but he's spiritually dull.
Hes not mute,
but stutters badly.
His fortune-telling isnt great either.
What about that girl over there?
Shes struggling with her identity.
Lets have a smoke first.
Cake.
H-h-his n-n-name.
Rice Cake
Birth chart confirms it,
I see a hint of a snake,
but also a dragon prince
from the Underwater Palace.
A fallen spirit...
I think youre right, a demon.
Even if we exorcise it successfully,
his familys guardian spirits will
end up inhabiting him instead.
Theres no other way.
Hes bound to be a shaman,
just like the Cursed.
Cursed?
A child conceived during
the mother's possession.
Hes bound to be a shaman.
That might be better than dying...
He wasnt born to be a shaman,
but forced to become one.
Who are you to judge
and decide things so freely?
Youre right.
We acted too hastily.
If one came from water,
well handle it with water.
Should we contact Master Dam-eon?
Were running out of time.
The brat has quite a pretty face.
Dress him in ceremonial robes
and hell shine in the ritual.
Away, away, evil energy!
Suri, suri, masuri!
Sung-ae.
Why?
Do nuns get free
health checkups too?
Why? Do you see
the Grim Reaper near me?
Go get one, you idiot.
I took you for a greedy shaman,
but youve still got the gift.
Its been fading for a while now.
I bow in reverence to
the complete and exalted one.
May the sacredness be
illuminated and fulfilled.
Lets start the ritual!
Will you save this child
kneeling before you?
Yes, dont worry.
My poor, sick child,
Ill soothe your restless
ancestors and banish
the spirits that invaded you,
so you can live in peace!
Onward!
The waters of the East and West Seas,
the South and North Seas!
Are you the Dragon King
of the Four Seas?
The Seven Stars Dragon King
reigns in the air!
- Stop it already... stop!
- The Mountain God and Dragon King!
Its hurts, Sister!
Flowing Dragon King,
Rising Dragon King,
- On the black earth, where are the people,
- My Lord, my God.
my people are no longer mine.
Today, I will clear the fog
in this childs mind,
and bring him peace and clarity!
You stupid nun!
Do you think you can cast us out?
No! Hee-joon!
Hell just sleep for the time being.
But not for long.
Leave him to Father Paolo.
If he stays in the hospital,
others will be in danger.
Playing hero, are you?
Whats your justification for
being so fixated on exorcism?
Do you need justification
to save lives?
As you know,
I cant help anymore.
Im truly disappointed in you.
Where exactly did you
take Hee-joon?
I thought he should at least see
his mothers last moments.
Are you a funeral director?
Im sorry, Father.
Were clergy, yes.
But you and I are
also medical professionals!
Dont tell me you met that nun.
Its practically a cult
founded by Father Kim.
I know you drew these
back in the day too.
Be honest with me.
Do you think Hee-joon is like you?
Are you...
seeing visions again?
Of course not.
Michela.
Hee-joon can be saved.
Ill do it, no matter what.
Yes, Father.
Youre the proof of it.
Sister Michela.
Im going to Chungju
to be with my son.
Is that right?
Thank you for everything.
Park Myung-ja...
Park Myung-ja...
Patient Park Myung-ja,
time of death, 10:15 a.m.
The midday temperature reaches 42C.
Enduring the heat and ash
is no easy task for the bats.
Some find sanctuary under
the inner leaves of palm trees,
but others must search for
shade elsewhere.
This sometimes causes fights.
Exhausted by thirst
and territorial disputes,
the bats can move to nearby areas
where water remains abundant.
H-help... Help me...
Father Paolo... he took Hee-joon
to the cloistered monastery...
Monastery?
He wanted to try treating him
with the monks there.
The situation there must be bad.
Is that where youre from?
Over 15 years ago.
It was a prayer center back then.
Father Paolo!
Michela...
Where is the child?
Possession doesnt exist,
but youve barricaded this door tightly.
You came back with two masses
of cursed energy?
Did you think Id be
your guinea pig like her?
You thought a bigger cross
would solve everything?
Did you meet your friend
on the way here?
You cunning fool!
She says hello.
She asked me
how you two are doing.
Michela.
Hee-joon can be saved.
Ill do it, no matter what.
Youre the proof of it.
You have glorified your honor
by my non-existence.
Soon, youll lose that petty name
of yours that you fear most.
And your nephew will die
fleeing from the military,
shot by mistake,
his head blown apart.
Your beloved sister will
hang herself the next day!
Like that bitch.
And youll go mad,
just like your mother did!
Father Paolo!
Father!
Please, get a grip!
Father Paolo!
Father Paolo!
Father Paolo!
Father Paolo!
Father, snap out of it!
Father...
Father, please!
Father!
With even one drop of Christs blood,
we believe the whole world
can be saved.
Is this childs body so precious?
Sister Giunia!
You despicable bastard!
Exploiting the childs body--
Its okay, its okay.
Sister...
Kill me...
Please, kill me...
Dont give up, Hee-joon.
Lets not give up.
No... I cant do this anymore.
I just want to go to my mom.
No, Im not giving up on you.
We can do this together.
Just hang on a little longer,
please, Hee-joon.
I want to live.
I want to live...
Is this a non-smoking area?
Maybe this worked like
a talisman and saved his life.
Why do you fight so hard?
A monster...
Like a monster.
Youre a monster,
and so am I...
Perhaps God knows why
we were born as such monsters.
I came this far...
I fled and survived everything...
Just face it head-on.
Whats the key?
The key to completing the exorcism.
Confession.
The monsters true name.
Im Sung-ae,
Kang Sung-ae.
The Major Arcana card 5,
the Hierophant.
The Hierophant is seen with
two priests.
Each card has dozens of keywords,
but Hierophant is often drawn
when the situation is constrained.
Constrained situations?
Yes.
The original meaning of this card
isnt strictly the Hierophant
it symbolizes one who has
experienced the divine.
This deck is from the Golden Dawn.
Monks from the Middle Ages
who studied mysticism within the church.
Like the Rosicrucianism.
Take a look.
If you see here
when the Knight of Evil appears,
the Emperor is already dead.
But the Hierophant is
standing against it, very much alive.
The Knight of Evil...
The Emperor dies, and the one
who experienced divinity stands up to it?
Youre quite the expert.
Also,
whats under the Hierophant
is called Saint Peters Keys.
Card 4, the Emperor...
Card 5, the Hierophant...
Then whats Card 6?
Card 6 is the Lovers.
Six represents union
and completion.
Sister! Where are we going now?
The Hierophant, the two men
receiving baptism,
which means, we need a third.
You dont mean the shaman, right?
Do you know any
exorcist priests nearby?
No way, tell me Im wrong.
Hail Mary
full of grace
the Lord is with thee.
Werent you going to
teach English to the locals?
People often get sick when their
lifestyle suddenly changes.
Just stick to what Father Kim
taught you.
What more can you want
from a coward like me?
You said the 12 Manifestations
take animal forms.
A serpent that symbolizes Satan,
a goat for the sacrificial lamb
Maybe those arent demons after all.
Whether its God or a demon,
never trust the manifestations
that non-human beings take.
Giunia!
Because those manifestations
are just clues.
You taught me that.
Youre far too rude to ever be...
a proper clergywoman.
Thank you for your guidance.
Father Andrea.
Granted the power and mission
by God to crush the head of Satan,
O great Queen of Heaven,
Lady of Angels,
humbly I implore you to send
the heavenly army at your command
to drive the demons into hell,
fight them across the earth,
subdue their insolence,
and ultimately cast them into hell.
Amen.
Father Kim and Father Choi
cannot be here to perform the rite.
I deeply regret this point.
They are currently occupied
with other missions,
and I am unable to disclose
further details due to confidentiality.
Both Father Kim and the Rosicrucianism
believe that the entity possessing
the boy is one of the 12 Manifestations.
This is Father Kims message.
The 12 Manifestations will
continue to appear.
Save the boy by any means possible.
Cant you join us for the exorcism?
Youre a priest from the Rosicrucianism,
arent you?
Im sorry, but I am not allowed.
As a servant of God,
I must follow our Lords plans.
We need Saint Peters Keys
to seal the 12 Manifestations,
as well as the Gospel of Peter.
Those are sacred objects.
Moreover, they are kept
by the Vatican.
These entities are capable of
possessing even priests.
I will help you in every way I can.
Kim, you son of a bitch...
Isnt he your mentor?
You may curse me later.
Okay...
On the first day of the lunar month,
at the hour of Zi,
that is when all forces
converge to destroy it.
You must finish before
the hour transition to Chou.
Otherwise, its power will grow
even stronger.
Should we call Master Dam-eon?
No...
All the shamans are fully booked
for that day because of the by-elections.
Are you serious?
You call that an excuse?
Thats the day when
all ancestral spirits are on the move.
Lets go.
Im sorry, Sung-ae.
Sister Giunia!
So, have you found a place
to conduct the rite?
I plan to perform it
at the boys residence.
Its a remote area.
The Archdiocese of Seoul has approved
the unofficial exorcism of Choi Hee-joon,
and Father Paolo will be participating.
But he isnt even ordained
for exorcisms!
The Archdiocese has permitted it,
and as the bishop here, I approve it.
Father Paolo has received
special permission to oversee
Choi Hee-joons unofficial exorcism.
He doesnt even
believe in exorcism!
And a nun is not qualified
to perform an exorcism.
Father Paolo is a priest
of deep faith and knowledge.
Plus, hes a medical doctor.
Didnt you send a letter
to Father Kim?
I only requested sacred items
needed for the exorcism.
We cannot recklessly entrust such
sacred items for an unofficial exorcism.
Father Paolo will personally bring
the sacred items and oversee it.
This is insane...
Keep in mind that from now on,
everything you do
violates the church law.
Your abilities and spirituality are
only vouched for by Father Kim,
youre not even a priest
of the Rosicrucianism.
If I contact the Rosicrucianism,
could they hand over
the sacred items to me directly?
That might be harder than
performing the exorcism itself.
The Day of Exorcism
That was Father Kim's
personal opinion,
the Rosicrucianism holds
a different view on the matter.
In exchange for our full support,
you must eliminate the demon
by all means necessary.
This
is our will.
Even if the child might not survive?
Malodore.
Its the distinct stench of possession.
It means the demon within
has decayed to its very core.
Couldnt you have told me sooner?
Would that have helped you prepare?
That stench cant be washed away.
Its the main reason the possessed
are ultimately abandoned.
Thankfully, the human sense of smell
is the dullest of all, a blessing from God.
What a know-it-all.
Watch your tone.
You should quit smoking.
Secondhand smoke is worse.
The air feels too cold today.
What about the manual?
Is this a surgery?
Theres no manual for a Dark Nun.
Right.
Theres only one rule
for this exorcism:
use any means necessary.
Its begun.
Whats that?
Cotton flowers.
They symbolize the Goddess of Birth.
What?
Shes the ancestral deity
who oversaw Hee-joons birth.
Hes destined to be a shaman.
His ancestors will lend their aid.
Are you a shaman or a nun?
Never disregard any information
about a possessed person.
Still, were nuns, you know?
Even in Europe, they summon
guardian spirits during exorcisms.
Getting approval for an exorcism
is nearly impossible anywhere.
Lord, even though we use
any means necessary,
our hearts remain true to You,
please, help us.
Check him again.
What?
Youre a doctor, arent you?
Yes.
Even the demon knows.
It knows what you fear.
It shows you visions.
It makes you relive your trauma,
driving you to want to die.
And you, son of man,
do not be afraid of them,
do not fear their words,
for they are rebellious
and deceitful around you,
and even if you dwell
among scorpions and thorns.
Do not be dismayed at their faces,
for they are a rebellious house.
May your faith save this child.
May God's blessing be with you.
Bach Cantatas BWV140
Wake, Awake, for Night is Flying
Are you ready?
Its all over when we find out its name.
Yes, Sister.
Try not to look directly into his eyes.
If you start experiencing visions,
hide behind the icon
or stand behind me.
Yes, Sister.
Begin the prayer.
Lord, have mercy.
Lord, our God, King of all ages,
Almighty Father,
who created all things
and change them
according to Your will...
...who in Babylon turned
the burning flames
Sister...
Thank you...
of the furnace into refreshing dew...
Im okay now...
Wheres my mom?
I want to go to my mom...
Lord, have mercy.
I want to see my mom...
Sister...
Its suffocating...
Can you untie this, please?
Sister Kang Sung-ae...
When did I ever tell you my name?
You fucking bitch!
Lord, who is the salvation of all,
and who cleanses all sorcery and witchcraft,
may Your servant sing with gratitude
under Your protection and faith.
I hate it...
I hate being unable to move
my hands and feet...
Im so scared...
Please, let me out of here...
The bullies, theyre coming after me!
Please, save me...
Lord, Almighty
and Master of all ages,
You created all things
and change them
according to Your will.
You, who saved and protected
the three holy young saints
from the fiery furnace
engulfed in flames in Babylon...
- You are the healer of our souls
- I cant... I just cant...
- and the salvation of those who seek You.
- I cant, I cant, I cant, I cant, I cant, I cant!
Piss off, you filthy bitch!
Raise the breaker,
and relight the candles.
Just turn it off!
Yes, Sister.
Sister...
This isnt a demon...
It protected me...
It killed your mom.
It hurt your friends.
Its a spirit protecting me...
You understand, dont you?
Its a demon.
It will never protect you.
Dont doubt me,
I wont disappoint you.
You still want me, dont you?
I slaughtered your bitch mother.
I slaughtered your bitch mother.
I slaughtered your bitch mother!
You conniving bitch! Whore!
How long have you starved?
Its dirty! Filthy!
Remove your hand!
Its filthy!
You whore!
Remove your hand!
Useless shit!
- How dare you!
- And the savior of those who seek You.
We beseech You...
You deceitful woman,
lying about your god!
Whore!
Filthy bitch!
Your humble servant may sing
under Your protection and faith.
Protect us from every curse,
from the malicious gazes
of the wicked!
And from every wicked act
committed against Your servant!
Extend Your powerful hands and
Your highest and strongest arms,
and come to aid and visit this Your image,
and send upon it Your angel of mercy,
a strong and faithful guardian of soul and body.
You are trash!
You drool all night, lusting to kill
whenever you see young ones!
Demon, I command you
reveal your true identity.
Demon, I command you!
Tell me who you are!
Asking for my name this early?
In the name of Jesus Christ,
I command you to reveal your name!
In the name of Jesus Christ,
reveal your name!
In the name of Jesus Christ,
reveal your name!
Dont you get it yet?
I wont be fooled by your tricks.
Youre just a snake
slithering out of the sea.
You will die!
The son of Mary died
nailed to the cross,
youll die with a tumor
in your womb,
unable to even bear children.
Possessing a faithless child,
youre a pathetic creature
that only hunts the weak!
Lord, have mercy.
Pretending to react to the cross,
only to slither away like an eel.
Youre just a deceitful,
insignificant spirit!
A lowly beasts soul at that!
Sister!
Weve been waiting for 233 years.
I was there in 1791,
1846, and 1866.
We were involved in the deaths
of the 103 martyrs you revere.
And now...
we will kill the children!
Starting with this child,
we will kill 292, then 471,
until the number reaches 2,340!
The children will perish on land,
in the mountains, and in the skies.
Mark my words:
this child is the beginning.
The beginning of your
devastating defeat.
We?
Theres just one of you.
We are one and all.
Foolish woman!
Clinging to your pitiful prayers...
You pathetic humans lost
the ability to think for yourselves!
A beast protected by a filthy legion!
Tell me your name!
You always start with commands,
never with a plea!
Stupid wretch!
Say your name!
Do not fear, my son,
for I am your father.
Then tell me with your own mouth.
What is your name?
If youre going to command me,
do it with some authority!
You dare face me?
How dare you pray?
Kneel to me instead!
I am the sacred one
you must kneel to!
Worship me instead!
Shut up and say your name!
God created mankind?
What nonsense!
Is this Almighty Gods masterpiece?
Pathetic fools, drunk on power
and slaughtering each other?
Forget about us
just tell us who you are.
Who are you,
and why are you here?
I told you, didnt I?
I hated you.
I hated you!
I hated you! I hated you!
I hated you! I hated you!
I hated you!
I hated you!
I hated you!
I hated you! I hated you!
Bring me Saint Peters scripture
and the keys.
Hurry.
Hey!
What do we do now?
Youre a shaman who shouldve died
performing a ritual,
so why are you here
cloaked in the rags of Jesus?
Youre possessed
by a spirit, so, why?
Why dont you ask the cards
you worship more than God?
Shut up!
Its not over yet.
We cant end it like this.
Sister, please,
just tell me what to do!
Ill do whatever you say, Sister!
No one born of a woman...
Sister, please!
can oppose us!
Profound Dharma,
rare to encounter.
By fortune, I now find it.
Whos this worthless shaman?
Shut the hell up!
I seek the Tathagata's truth.
Want to save a person with me?
What?
Hee-joon, remember him?
Were going to exorcise him,
but we need another priest.
Me... m-m-me?
The essence of prayer is
sincerity, isnt it?
To be honest,
its my first time too.
D-dont die!
Hee-joon!
I... c-cant write a talisman yet...
So... so here...
at least t-t-take this...
Mantra of the Dharma Treasury,
Om Aranam Arada.
Om Aranam Arada.
You damn pests!
Shut up before I rip
your mouth apart! Shut it!
Great mountains, small mountains,
mountain spirit gods.
Great strikes, small strikes,
mountain spirit gods.
Great evils, small evils,
vanish from this place.
His stuttering is gone.
Those whove experienced divinity,
three.
Bow to the guest spirits,
spirits of the land.
Shut up already!
Shut that fools mouth!
Bow to the mountain spirits,
let go of all obstacles.
Spirits of the soil,
protect with sacrifice!
Today, at this very moment,
we seek blessings to go far.
Each and every place,
beyond a thousand miles.
Otherworldly beings, do not return.
Hurry, follow the law of the cycle, Svaha!
Hurry, follow the law of the cycle, Svaha!
Lord who loves humanity.
Protector of souls and bodies.
Send the angel of peace
and strength,
visit and aid this child,
created in Your image.
In the name of the Son
and the Holy Spirit...
I have not come to ruin your lives!
I am your savior!
He stole the scripture and fled?
Master, should I send my men
to catch that bastard?
Leave it.
Everyone there is going to die today.
Crazy bitch...
Bow to the guest spirits,
spirits of the land.
Protect with the self-sacrifice
of the household.
Today, at this very moment,
seek blessings to go far.
Most holy and glorious Mother of God,
eternal Virgin Mary and
the Archangels who radiate light,
I plead in the names of
all Your saints.
- Be with us brothers always and everywhere.
- Shut up!
- In the name of the Father, the Son,
- Shut up!
and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
I ask you,
what are your names?
First murderer.
Where did you come from?
Even in the muzzle of the guns
you humans point at each other,
in polluted wells,
and in cities built on deserts...
in all places where gravity exists,
I have been with you.
O humans, who cannot
fully understand gravity,
I am the God...
It hurts... Please save me...
Sister... Please save me...
The Lord is my shepherd,
with Him, who can harm me?
I do not fear because
I am with You, my God.
Sister... Please save me...
Youre right.
Ill imprison you within my womb.
How dare you...
even consider forcing me
into your rotten womb?
The filthy womb where you
promised purity to Him?
Consider it an honor,
you worthless horse head.
You crazy wench,
go ahead and try!
Come, embrace me!
I'll be reborn as a demon!
I'll honor you as my mother!
Mountain spirits of the western
and southern mountains!
Mountain spirits of the great
and small mountains!
Spirits of great strikes
and small strikes!
Great evils and small evils,
Whats your name, you vile spirit?
Sister...
Your name.
Call me Annihilation.
Youre bacteria that make
rotten fruit decay even further.
Your name!
I existed everywhere
since the beginning.
Those who fear us call us
the 12 Manifestations.
Do you dare call yourself
the 12 Manifestations?
Hee-joon... Hee-joon...
Hee-joon! Please hang in there!
Come forth, come forth!
You cowardly spirit dwelling in
a weak child! Pathetic wretch!
Youre nothing more than a bug,
found in every corner!
A worthless shadow at night,
a minion of the 12 Manifestations!
A servant of evil bowing
before an unordained nun!
A mere pony of Marbas!
How dare you call me a lowly spirit...
You, of all people...
You arrogant wretch...
You filthy woman!
I am none other than
the Grand Duke of Hell!
Tell me your name.
Tell me and make me
tremble in fear!
I am the Grand Duke of Hell.
I am Gamigin!
Granted the power and mission
by God to crush the head of Satan,
O great Queen of Heaven,
Lady of Angels,
humbly I implore you to send
the heavenly army at your command
to drive the demons into hell,
fight them across the earth,
subdue their insolence,
and ultimately cast them into hell.
Amen.
In the name of the Father, the Son,
and the Holy Spirit, I command you,
Gamigin! Come out of there!
Lord, humans feel such sorrow...
yet the sea remains so blue.
Thank you, Sister.
Youve done well.
Lord, hear our prayers.
Saint Michael, hear our prayers.
Saint Gabriel, hear our prayers.
Saint Raphael, hear our prayers.
Lord, hear our prayers.
Saint Michael, hear our praye...
Sister...
Are you okay?
Good job.
Look after Hee-joon first.
Take him to the nearest church.
Gamigin will try to return
to Hee-joons body.
Hurry, go.
What about you?
Ring the church bell
three times from the tower.
So that I can hear it.
What about you?
For heavens sake...
Go, theres no time.
You need to save Hee-joon.
I... I dont want to.
No... Lets find another way...
There must be another way, please?
Save Hee-joon.
Youre insane...
You crazy bitch!
In the name of Lord Jesus Christ
and the Virgin Mary,
I command you, leave at once.
Lord...
Delay judgment and grant me
the wisdom to save my neighbor.
Bestow upon us
the grace of salvation.
Lord, please watch over us.
Step aside! Please, step aside!
Im sorry!
Im sorry! Please move aside!
Please move!
Make way! Im sorry!
Out of the way!
Shit!
Is this nun crazy?
Let me go!
Im sorry! Im sorry!
Shit!
Are you insane?!
Im okay...
Get going!
Just go!
Leave us,
and never return to this place.
Never touch us again.
Never hurt the children again.
Lord Jesus Christ, Holy Virgin Mary,
and Saint Michael the Archangel,
fight for us, please.
Im sorry...
Im sorry.
Just a moment!
Hee-joon!
Hee-joon!
Go to the hospital with Hee-joon.
I need to go to Sister Giunia.
N-no, you cant!
I have to go check on her!
Sister, are you okay?
Its okay, Im fine.
O Immaculate Virgin,
angels and archangels,
all the saints in heaven,
descend upon me.
Melt me, renew me,
cast all evils into the fires of hell,
fill me with Your presence
and use me as Your tool...
So that they may
never again touch
any of the creatures
of this world.
Please protect us.
In the name of the Father,
and of the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
The Rosicrucianism Parish
I didnt think youd come
in person.
Im the one responsible
for the rite in question.
How is the boy?
I heard youve been taking care
of him personally.
Hes recovering quickly
but it will still take a long time.
Yes! But...
Yes?
I heard you werent
particularly fond of us...
Lets just say we were
very cautious about the rite.
I wasnt serious...
We all have freedom,
free to choose.
Both you, me,
and Sister Giunia.
Kang Sung-ae
Sister Giunia
Where are we going?
Wherever the 12 Manifestations show up.
Do you think I can do this?
Youve already learned everything.
I was told Sister Giunia taught you
everything you need to know.
