Dark Nuns (검은 수녀들)

The one who protected and saved the three holy children...

Speak!

Speak! Why have you come here?!

You called me here!

Protect us from the power and curse of demons!

I’m from the Sisters of Liberation.

Marco!

Sister Giunia!

Father!

Where do you think you are, daring to come here?

Such arrogance and recklessness!

You must be cleansed first.

Is that all holy water?

A woman like you isn’t even allowed to perform exorcisms!

Mother’s whip hurts the most, doesn’t it?

A woman shrouded in dark energy!

You can’t pull it out.

Wait until the exorcism is over.

Prepare a Franciscan bell for me.

You lowly creature!

Ring the bell and continue praying.

Who performs an exorcism so carelessly?

You coward, daring to possess the body of a child...

Reveal your identity.

Protect us from the rulers of this dark world

and from the evil spirits under heaven.

Come to the aid of humanity,

whom You redeemed at a great price from Satan.

Lord, have mercy on us.

Exorcism: A ritual in Christianity to free a person possessed by evil spirits.

Send forth Your mighty and outstretched hand,

Nun: A woman who vows chastity, obedience, and lives in a convent.

Send down the angels of peace and strength,

Priest: A mediator between God and man, who conducts Mass and other rituals.

To aid Your servant, made in Your image.

May the evil deeds and malice

Possession: A person taken over by an evil spirit.

Of the envious and destructive be overthrown.

Lord, have mercy and protect Your servant,

Order of the Rosy Cross: An exorcism order

established by the Vatican to combat evil spirits.

That they may sing Your praises in gratitude:

12 Evil Spirits: Classified by the Order of the

Rosy Cross based on the symptoms of the possessed.

In the presence of the Almighty Lord, I fear nothing.

My strength, the Lord of peace, the Creator,

Master of ancestors and the future.

May the Lord watch over Your servant and deliver them

from all evil and danger from the enemy.

Protect the body of Your servant

from all harm and danger.

Through the intercession of the holiest saints,

the Ever-Virgin Mary, the glorious archangels,

and the saints of God, we pray to You.

We pray in the name of... Amen.

The glorious archangels and the saints of God.

Amen.

You will die.

You will experience the most painful death a human can endure.

In a sea of fire, you will weep and curse the Lord.

The blood of the demons you slaughtered with your own hands

will echo in the womb like drums.

Stop it, what is your name?

My servants, whom you cast into hell,

sent me to tell you you won’t live to see spring!

This is nonsense.

Father! Father!

It’s hiding again.

THE DARK NUN

No.

The boy doesn’t look like a patient.

Thank you for sharing the room.

We’ll move him to a private room as soon as possible.

It’s fine.

Whether the boy is possessed or not,

this hospital is under God’s protection.

Father Paolo will be the new attending physician for patient Choi Hee-joon.

A doctor who denies possession...

What do you think, Sister Michela?

Does possession not exist?

They say evil exists to prove the existence of good.

It’s a combination of

multiple personality disorder and borderline personality disorder.

If treated regularly in a stable environment

and with consistent medication, the patient can fully recover.

We have enough data

from similar clinical cases.

Wow.

Father Paolo’s disciple is different.

Alright, I understand.

Are you even human?

You seem like an AI.

Cold as ice.

Did you also ask the temple for help?

I heard there’s a famous monk in Busan...

I think I should try every possible way...

Hee-joon’s mother.

Unexplainable events beyond human understanding

can sometimes happen.

What if you flip a coin ten times and it lands on heads every time?

A coincidence too hard to believe, right?

But instead of flipping a coin,

this misfortune has befallen someone close to us.

Weak humans deny coincidence and call it superstition, mystery,

or the conspiracy of heretics.

God is testing us.

Testing our faith in Him.

Psychoanalysis and the Treatment of Possession

What your son needs

is psychological counseling and medication, that’s all.

But even Father Andrea...

and the Sisters of Liberation...

A nun?

An unordained nun performing exorcisms?

Ordination: A ritual in Catholicism to confer priesthood. (Women cannot be ordained.)

We must hurry.

I need to contact Father Kim in Rome.

Or Father Choi if he’s available.

Personally, I don’t oppose exorcism,

but everything must follow procedure.

A nun is a bit...

Father Andrea himself asked for my help.

He even allowed me to perform the exorcism that day.

I don’t oppose it, but...

the current situation is a bit...

The Archdiocese of Seoul doesn’t approve either.

You’re being harsh, Father.

Hey!

Sister Giunia!

Sister Giunia.

Why don’t you return to the convent and wait?

The longer we avoid it, the harder it will be to handle.

Sister Giunia.

Abandoning the possessed is no different from killing them.

Father Kim has a talented disciple.

But they say her prayers are quite effective.

Still, she’s just a nun...

What will you do after returning home?

I plan to teach English to the people there.

This is Hee-joon’s.

So the boy attempted suicide.

He must think death is the end.

How does he know death won’t destroy the evil spirit?

The spirit inside that child...

isn’t simple or easy to deal with.

Did the boy draw these?

Yes.

There was a similar case like this before.

An unofficial case, as you know.

All records of the exorcism were destroyed.

Demons deny God and commit evil acts through humans,

it’s definitely one of the 12 Evil Spirits.

You don’t look like you get regular check-ups.

Just tell me.

Do you feel...

anything unusual in your uterus?

The cancer has spread throughout your body.

Doctor.

Yes, go ahead.

Am I going to die?

Sister!

The next appointment...

I have a meeting with Father Paolo.

Exorcism is a cultural practice formed according to the needs of the times.

It has long been corrupted.

Those who believe they have spiritual powers

and can defeat evil

or call themselves "Warriors of Light," right?

I’ve also heard a very special nickname:

"The Dark Nun."

I came to discuss, not to be lectured.

Mystics believe they are special

and have a stronger ego than ordinary people.

An ego bordering on obsession and fixation,

sometimes creating illusions people call miracles.

I’m not well-educated, so this is hard to understand.

Hee-joon created those illusions himself

during his experience with school violence and bullying.

He’s not possessed.

Madam... - Hello?

Is this Hee-joon’s mother?

Call it a demon or an illusion,

saving the child is what matters most.

He’s writhing in pain.

Hee-joon needs healing, not an exorcism.

Without proper medical records, we can’t approve an unofficial exorcism,

The boy has had enough psychiatric treatment.

I regret taking Hee-joon’s case so late,

but thankfully, treatment has already begun.

Any delay could endanger him.

A rushed exorcism is just as dangerous.

This has happened before, hasn’t it?

Do you know what day it is today?

Yes...

Are you going to pay or not?

Yes, I will!

If you keep this up, I’ll have to take legal action!

Please give me until the end of this month.

I’m trying to borrow from elsewhere...

You keep saying that! Is it true this time?
