Hey, loser! Are you scared?
What are you doing?
Are you crazy?
You'll get yourself killed.
Your life was boring, wasn't it?
I think I was a fourth-grader.
My mom suddenly brought a man home.
She said he was my dad.
He beat me up every day
for not calling him Dad.
That darn jerk.
That's why you need this.
If you want to protect yourself.
Why so serious, you punk?
Let me go.
You don't have a dad, but you got me.
- Let me go.
- Isn't that right?
- Let me go.
- Answer me.
- Answer me, you punk.
- Okay. Let me go.
- Am I right?
- Let go.
- You punk.
- Okay. Let go.
You can never beat me.
Hurry up and tie everyone up.
I didn't get any rain.
Why are you doing this?
Let me go.
Mr. Kwon. Help me!
Mr. Kwon. Help me. Please!
I'm sorry. Stay here.
I'll get you out soon.
- Mr. Kwon!
- Please help me.
Mr. Kwon. I'm totally fine.
Help me. Mr. Kwon!
So darn loud.
That guy is darn loud. Hey.
Unless you want to die, stay quiet.
Okay?
You too. Stop crying, will you?
- Man Ki.
- Yes.
Keep your eye on them.
If they try to do anything stupid,
strike their heads with this.
Got it?
Okay.
Stop acting clumsy.
- Okay.
- Strike it at once.
I'm totally fine.
- I didn't do anything.
- Please don't kill me.
My goodness.
- How can you do this to me?
- Untie me.
Mr. Kwon!
I didn't get rained.
I'm innocent.
I'm fine.
Mr. Kwon.

You are off course.
Are you sure this is the way?
People barely use this road
after the highway opened,
but it connects to the village.
Which patrol station was it? Chief?
- Chunggeum.
- Chunggeum? I see.

("Continuous Casualties in Jinyang-gun")
The government is studying
the relation between...
casualties in Jinyang-gun and
black rain from yesterday.
As the official announcement delays,
some experts say unknown chemical
was mixed in the rain yesterday.
They argue it could be a possible
chemical attack by terrorists.
The government is currently
waiting for the result...
of the chemical test on the black rain.
If it turns out to be a chemical attack,
the region will have to be fumigated.
If it turns out to be a deadly virus,
- It's driving me crazy.
- Jinyang-gun will be blocked.
And it is best to stay home...
- Go straight and turn right.
- Okay.
Why won't he die?
No. Don't do that.
Help me!
No!
Gather here.
Dear residents of Jinyang-gun.
The help is on the way.
Let's watch the news...
in good order.
- We'll report in detail.
- Come.
The special disaster area
was declared in Jinyang-gun...
after the continuous black rain
in the last couple of days.
In Chunggeum Village, Jinyang-gun...
- Good luck.
- Yes. Okay.
The estimated damage caused
by this mysterious...
regional torrential rainfall
is over 7.5 billion won.
The government's official
announcement on the reason...
of the damage is taking
longer than expected.
In case the black rain
contains deadly virus,
- Jinyang-gun...
- See? What did I tell you?
- I said it was the virus.
- It might lead to infection...
Mr. Kwon.
Do you think the black rain is what
caused people to act like that?
Are you sure the help is on the way?
Hey, get some... Oh, he's not here.
You see, my bus is just outside.
If we can get there somehow,
we'll be able to escape.
What if those lunatics
attack you on the way?
It is expected to take a long time.
If give me the permission
to kill them all,
it's worth trying.
But the governor just
loves the virus carriers.
- Help me.
- Please help me.
I'm sorry for everything.
Please get me out of here.
Mr. Kwon!
Mr. Kwon! Please get me out of here.
Help me!
The temple you are looking at is...
only recorded in a few pieces of literature
from the Goryeo Dynasty.
The actual location was unknown.
Then it was found...
while rebuilding the ruined village
after the Korean War.
(Hwalam Temple Site)
This temple was located
in Mount Cheonbo...
at the end of Goryeo Dynasty.
It is recorded as Hwalam Temple.
Now it is called Hwalam Temple Site...
as only the site remains.
In 1964, it was designated
historical site number 128.
At the end of Goryeo Dynasty,
Hwalam Temple had 3,000 monks.
Until early Joseon Dynasty,
the precincts was 33,058m² big.
It was the biggest temple
in the country.
Based on radiocarbon dating...
and OSL dating,
relics from King Yeongjo's era
were found.
We believe it was rebuilt in the
middle of the Joseon Dynasty...
and flourished.
- Hello?
- Soo Jin. I'm sorry,
but I can't pick Ha Young up today.
Why not?
A meeting was suddenly scheduled.
What?
I told you many times that
this conference was important.
I'm so sorry. I really can't go.
What about your birthday party?
Let's dine out on the weekend.
Are you seriously going to do this?
Tell them it's important
and just come home.
Soo Jin. I have to go. I'm sorry.
- Bye.
- Ki...
(Saehyun Kindergarten)
- Hello.
- Hello.
- Bye.
- Bye.
- Be careful.
- Bye.
How was your day?
Let's go home.
Hi.
- Bye.
- Bye.
Hello?
Hello. This is Ha Young's mom.
Oh, yes. Hello.
Did Ha Young get off the bus?
Yes, we dropped everyone off.
Okay. Thank you.
Oh, no.
Dad!
Ha Young.
My goodness. Ha Young.
Ha Young!
Mom!
(One Line Express)
Do you have a child?
- Yes.
- How old?
Well, she's...
It's the village after this tunnel.
It happened here too.
What on earth is this?
We had strange black rain yesterday.
It's worse in the center of the village.
One second.
Don't touch it.
It seems like the monstrous rain.
- Monstrous rain?
- Yes.
It is... Never mind.
Did anything weird happen yesterday?
- There was also hail.
- Hail?
Didn't it look like a human face?
Yes. It looked weird.
It's the monstrous rain.
Was that there before?
Run.
To where?
- What was that?
- Are you okay?
I'm okay. Are you okay?
Yes.
They're coming.
The monstrous rain, and now the crows.
It means there's an evil spirit
in the village.
An evil spirit?
Who are you?
Excuse me.
Where are you going?
(Happy residents, hopeful Jinyang)
(Civil Affairs Office)
What was that?
What's that sound?
They're not coming in here, are they?
Mr. Kwon.
You scared me.
You better make the decision quick.
Or we'll all get killed.
The help is on the way.
That boy's mom.
You're so darn naive.
Who's coming here to save us?
That punk's mom?
She probably died on the way.
(Sugar)
It won't take long. Buy me some time!
I don't know what you're doing,
but you better hurry up.
You need to hurry up!
Almost done.
Done. Let them in!
It's dangerous outside the boundary.
- Boundary?
- Yes.
Are you a shaman?
You keep talking about weird stuff.
Explain it to me, at least.
The monstrous rain is
when fish or iron powder...
rains from the sky.
Like the mud you saw.
The black rain is called
the monstrous rain.
What on earth are you talking about?
An evil spirit is using its power.
Then deity sends the
monstrous rain to warn humans.
So the monstrous rain is not harmful.
- This is not harmful?
- No.
What matters is that we need to find
the reason for the monstrous rain.
("Monthly Mystery"
Professor Jung Ki Hoon)
Yes, Professor Jung.
Sir, wasn't the haunted Buddha statue
found on Mount Cheonbo?
Yes, that's correct. But at the moment,
it's being exhibited at
the Jinyang County Office.
Are you serious? Why is it there?
Mount Cheonbo
wasn't in Jinyang originally,
but the jurisdiction changed
to Jinyang-gun recently.
It seems the county office
demanded to exhibit it there.
The newly-elected governor...
wanted to make it into a tourist item,
and he was obstinate
about taking it out.
Furthermore,
someone purposely erased the seal.
Why would those lunatics erase the seal?
- What?
- Not you, sir.
I see. We're going to head
toward Jinyang right now.
Sir. Don't overreact.
Jinyang-gun is sealed off.
I'm in Jinyang-gun right now.
Let there be the mercy.
You have to listen to me carefully.
Anyone who looks into
the haunted statue's eyes...
ends up seeing the map to their inferno.
They hear and see things,
and it's particularly dangerous
to those who are weak-hearted.
If they look into the eyes of
the haunted Buddha missing its seal,
Jinyang-gun will be in total chaos.
I understand. Can you look for
all the literature on the seal?
You know the thesis by
Professor Lee Seo Jun...
on the study of mandala
Buddhist group therapy?
Can you look at that too?
Okay.
Okay. Stay safe and good luck.
Are you saying...
all of this is happening because
of that haunted Buddha statue?
Yes, I believe so.
Please!
Please calm down.
Please. Please save me.
We...
What is that?
(One Line Express)
Stay still!
Ha Young.
I found it!
The evil spirit that's
in the Buddha statue...
is a person named Kwan who posed
as a monk at Hwalam Temple.
- Kwan?
- Yes.
They were caught for their corruption...
and was beheaded.
He roamed around the temple
without a head.
The ghost that's in this
Buddha statue is really shrewd,
and he possesses people and
makes them hate one another.
In the end, he makes them
kill each other.
If this evil spirit is
still in the Buddha statue,
it'll be hard to get rid of his energy
with just any method.
We need to gather the power
of all the monks together.
Yes, sir.
Then what do we do now?
We have to go back to the car for now.
How?
Then do you want to stay here?
Darn it.
Let's get out of here.
Once we get out,
run straight to the car.
We're going to start running
at the count of three.
Okay.
One, two...
On 3 or after 3?
After three.
One, two, three!
Why you...
Get away!
Hurry up!
I'm done!
Get away!
The key. Where's the key?
- The key!
- What the...
Where's the key?
Give me the key.
Okay.
Here.
Is what you drew on the hood effective?
Yes.
I think it can hide us.
So you can't leave this car. Okay?
And I'm not a shaman.
My name is Jung Ki Hoon.
I'm Han Seok Hee.
Chief Han Seok Hee.
