01x02 - If I Had One More Chance

Post by bunniefuu »

What is that thing?

We gotta get outta here!

Wait!

They might att*ck
if we move!

Then what do we do?

There has to be
a way to escape!

Don't expect
me to find it!

Two of us just d*ed!

Everyone,
stay still!

I think moving
makes it mad too!

Hey, Hey, Joohee,
stay with me!

That was a close one.

We'd all be piles
of ash right now.

If it weren't
for you, kid.

Me?

You yelled because you
figured it out, right?

No, sir. It was because I
sensed something dangerous.

Mr. Song!
Your arm!

If I grit my teeth,
it isn't all that bad.

Could you stop the
bleeding for me?

Normally I'd ask the party's
healer to patch me up.

Ours spooks easily, though.

That's why she only does bottom-run
raids despite being a B-rank hunter.

I've raided B-rank dungeons and lived
to tell the tale a couple of times myself.

Something that insta-kills
has to be an A-rank, if not S.

Those three commandments of the
Cartenon Temple aren't there for fun.

First, thou shalt worship God.

Second, thou shalt praise God.

Third, thou shalt prove thy faith.

Those who do not follow these
laws will not leave alive.

Hold on.

So when it says God,

it's talking about that thing?

When the first
gate appeared,

It gave rise to a number of
supernatural phenomena.

The likes of which humanity could
only fathom in their wildest dreams.

Those who awakened as hunters are
a prime example of one such wonder.

They use their enhanced
abilities to conquer the

beasts lurking in the
dungeons beyond the gates,

though their power is static
from the moment it sparks to life.

To call a hunter courageous
would be an understatement.

For the terrors they find don't
merely strike fear in their hearts,

but can leave them
in utter despair.

Did you see?

Oh, that video clip?

Cutting it real close.

You want to share what
almost made you late?

Yeah, no.

Hey, your brother awakened
as a hunter, right, Jinah?

He did.

The powers he got only scored
him an E rank, though.

So he does tend to come home
with more wounds than treasure.

Looked like a regular
mummy the other day.

But why randomly
ask about that?

No reason.

If I was a hunter, I'd
make E-rank look good.

It's too strong to fight.

Meaning our objective
now is to escape.

Let's collect ourselves in the-

{\an8}I'M NOT
DONE IN HERE!

No!

I just landed a contract
with a major guild!

Got too much going for me
to bite it in this crap hole!

If that's true,
then don't move!

I can do this! It's B's my specialty!
I'll get out of here! Watch me!

Dammit!

That thing can end us
the second it feels like it.

Yeah, we're basically bugs
waiting to be vaporized.

Then, do you have any idea
why it hasn't zapped us all yet?

No.

So it could k*ll
us, but it's not.

What's weirder is any other magic
beast would att*ck on sight.

The writing! What the first
commandment say again?

What?

Oh, the very first one was,
thou shalt worship God.

God!

This place has its own rules.

What the heck are you doing?

Testing a theory.

Sit down or...

You aren't done.

That isn't the look of a
man who's given up yet.

We need to bow our heads toward
the giant statue on the throne.

Will that actually do something?

I think you might
have snapped, kid.

So your theory
was right, then.

Yes, sir.

It only att*cks if you're
above a certain height.

We have to bow down and worship
God like the commandment says.

This is your plan to
get us out of here?

Yes, .....for now.

Guess it's worth a sh*t.

A little courtesy, that's
what's gonna save us?

Damn, that's freaky.

Its face,
it changed.

It isn't doing anything.

Beom-shik, why
are you standing?

You see?

I'm still okay!

It worked!

So that really
was all it took.

No more lasers?

Good riddance.

We made it.

We can go home!

No!

Not quiet!

We thought that this
nightmare was over.

Come on, Jinwoo, what's next?
Does your plan have a second phase?

Well, not really, no.

But if we keep obeying those commandments,
I have a hunch we'll be alright.

Meaning the next step
should be to praise God.

Praise the giant?

How exactly?

I might have the answer.

As a dedicated
student of ethnology,

I have a few extolments for gods
tucked away in the back of my mind.

{\an8}Almighty Lord, praise be to
you who brings order to the

{\an8}world and keeps us from
the evil of you I take refuge in.

I can't tell if it's working!

Looks like it's slowing
down, so maybe?

Show us the righteous
path of truth.

That prayer... Wait...

I will be done, O Lord,
for only you know the way.

No, it doesn't apply
to this God!

We reveur and honour
your holy name.

A wondrous ruler, hear my cries,
for it's in your name! My...

sh*t!

Let's move!

Everyone spread out till
we come up with something.

Okay.

Take my hand!

No way I'm
dying like this.

I've got a family
waiting for me.

I think the safest place
is up against the walls!

No, Beom-shik!
Look behind you!

Beom-shik!

Praise God.. Praise God..

What is there to praise
about that thing?

It's more demonic
than divine!

Whatever I do, I'm not
leaving Joohee by herself!

What's the hint here?

Spear... Axe...

It's all a bad dream,
I'll wake up any... AHHHHH!

Hammer...
Sword... Trumpet...

Trumpet....Thats it.

I got it.

Everyone quick!

Run to the statues
holding musical instruments.

If you say so?

What do you know?

Kid was right again.

Hey, none of the statues with instruments
will att*ck, so hurry and find one.

Dammit all.

Come on! Play your drum!
Come on! Please!

Is it just one
person per statue?

Stay here!
You'll be fine!

What about you?!

So close!

Not that one.

Noooo!

Please don't die!

Not yet!

Not yet!

Not yet!

I feel like singing
praises myself.

Jinwoo!

Are you okay?

Barely, but at
least I'm alive.

Oh my gosh!

What's wrong?

Your leg.

Enough already. I mean it.

You'll wear yourself
out if you don't stop.

I'm going to heal you, so just
shut up and let me do it!

I'm sorry, Joohee.

What a bloodbath.

No kidding.

I count your arm
as a casualty too.

But I also counted as
karma since you led us here.

Nice call, by the way.

That's awful!

You're the one who said
we should bend the rules!

I did what we all decided on!

And I remember
how you voted!

Sangshik is right.

I'm the leader and
I had the final say.

I'm the one to
blame for everything.

It's no time to
point fingers.

There's one more trial left.

What's happening now?

Earthquake!

What the hell is that?

An altar.

You know, like the kind
in ancient mythology.

For offerings to the
gods they pray to.

Proving our faith is
the last commandment.

I may not be the smartest, but
even I know what move to make.

This god likes blood, so it's fair
to assume that it wants a sacrifice.

Beom-shik had a family.
Bragged about it all day.

Then I watched him get cut
in half. He and six others d*ed.

If you really feel responsible for their
deaths, prove it to us and God, leader.

Oh, Mr. Kim, that's-

You stay out of this!

Alright.

Lower your sword
and I'll go.

He shouldn't shoulder
all the blame.

We voted as a group
to risk coming here.

So is the ritual beginning?

Hey kid, what
do you think?

Am I supposed to do
something with this flame?

I'm not sure, but... Maybe
a sacrifice isn't the key.

Hey, if you wouldn't mind,
could you two carry me?

I wanna check something.

Just get me right next
to the altar, okay?

But... won't we all die?

Hypothetically, we shouldn't.

Did you solve
the last puzzle?

Sorry, not quite.

If we wait here, is anyone
likely to come rescue us?

Today marks the seventh
day this gate's been opened.

Those statues will mobilize again
before a rescue team does.

It takes a week for a
gate to open all the way.

And then the beasts
inside can cross over.

A dungeon break.

The other objective of
raids, besides scavenging,

is to b*at the dungeon boss and
shut the gate down before time's up.

So if the six of us fail,

that thing will be let loose.

Good afternoon.

And same to you, Ms. Sung.
Always nice to see your face.

Hey, Mom! It's your
favorite daughter!

Only hot gossip I have to spill
is that Song-yi was almost late!

Said it was cause of stuff.

Bet she just slept in.

I've also got a
national test update.

You're gonna have to
get near the altar too.

We probably need a flame
to light up for each of us.

If anything happens,
it'll be after that.

The door's opened.

So we can leave?

That's painted fire
if I ever saw it.

That doesn't sound good.

Look! The statues
are closing in!

Do we have a plan?

What in their psycho
god's name do they want?

Why?!

Wait, Joohee, don't
close your eyes!

Or they'll keep coming!

See? Look, just like
that old kids' game!

So, all eyes on the statues!

Talk to us, kid. Now
what's going on?

The door's closed a little,
but I think she made it out.

Why? It's okay.

The blue flames have been
slowly dying out one by one,

and the red flames go out
when we leave the circle.

Think.

First, we had
to worship.

Second, we
had to praise.

And now, we
prove our faith.

The open doors
are a trap,

offering false hope
in the wake of terror.

Maybe we prove our faith by
resisting the temptation to run.

Guys, I can't. I
tried, but I can't.

Jeongho, don't!

No!

Hey!

Don't you dare move! The circle will
have blind spots if we lose our fourth!

It'd be comforting if we had a
little more info to go on here.

We'll escape too if we keep our
eyes on the statues and stay put.

The blue flames are a timer.

When they're gone, we
can walk right out of here.

There's also a chance.

The doors will shut completely, and we'll
be trapped inside this room till we die.

I never expected the
weakest hunter of all mankind

to be the difference
between us living or dying.

But I can honestly say that I've
never been happier to stand corrected.

Oh, uh, thank you.

With that said, I've got
a family that needs me.

So dying in here just
isn't an option.

I wanna make
it home alive.

I'm way past
my limit.

I'm sorry.

You're sorry?

Not yet. We have
to survive this.

Somehow, I always pull
through, every single time.

You two go
while you still can.

Mr. Song.

I will stay behind.

As long as one of us waits in here,
the door should remain open.

You both have so much life
left ahead of you. Go and live it.

So, Joohee, can
you carry him out?

Su..Sure.

No, no, no!

Um, sir, my legs
just gave out on me.

You really did overdo
it, healing Jinwoo.

You go, take
Joohee and leave.

What? Did you even
listen to anything I said?

You think I can carry her
with half the leg missing?

We're wasting time.

Just go.

That makes me the useless one,
so I'll keep the doors open.

I guess I promised to take you
out to eat now, didn't I?

You can use this to
buy yourself dinner.

Once I make my grand escape,
I'll come collect the change.

Are you cracking
jokes right now?

I apologize. I'd let you have a proper
goodbye, but we really are out of time.

Please take good
care of her.

I will.

I'm glad my death
means they can live.

My one regret though, is that I didn't
enroll in a juicier life insurance package.

I would take at least one of
you goliaths down with me.

Let's see what
you've got!

I've always been
the weakest,

and I've been mocked
for it at every turn.

But I still try as
hard as I can.

So this... sh*t...sh*t.

This is bullshit!

Bullshit!

I wanted to
be stronger.

I tried, but
I never could.

I get it.

I fought tooth and nail to earn
my keep and I got this far.

But you were past your
limit? Yeah, we all felt that way.

You were making excuses
for your own selfishness!

That gratiude was as
empty as my wallet.

Leave it to a genuine piece of trash to
use me and throw me away for his benefit!

I've got a family too!

I wanted to make
it home alive too!

I'm glad my death
means they can live.

How could you think that?

You stupid hypocrite!

No... I don't want to die.

I wish.....

I had another chance.
