THE UNCANNY COUNTER 2

EONNI'S NOODLES

Rock, paper, scissors.

Yes, I won!

You…

Kids are always so cheerful.

They still think the world is beautiful.

They don't know that it is hell

and it can end in the blink of an eye.

How pitiful.

Pretty good.

What do you want?

What do I want?

That's right.

That's the first question everyone asks me.

But all they can offer is

money…

or their lives.

What about you?

What is it that you want to be hiding in a place like this

while coming after us?

We catch and punish evil spirits like you.

We also save the innocent souls trapped inside you.

That's what we do.

"Punish"?

And…

you're confident you can do that?

What about you?

Did you really come here because you were confident?

And not because of your fear of how strong I'd be?

Okay, I'll do it for you.

Rock, paper, scissors.

Do you want some water?

Ice? Do you want some ice?

It's him.

Ha-na.

Brace yourself.

No matter what happens,

let's protect the kids.

Yes, ma'am.

That power of yours…

Where in the world do you get it from?

But you use that power to protect these useless things?

Why?

Just shut it.

You must think you're invincible after absorbing our powers,

but you're all bound to go to hell.

Are you okay?

Yes.

You have

so many things

you need to protect.

Mun.

Damn it.

EPISODE 3

He came to us willingly, but I let him go.

I should've punished him for murdering Ms. Lee.

You had no choice.

You had to protect the kids.

How in the world

did they find us here?

This may actually be for the best.

They can see the territory.

Unless they make a move first,

there's no way to locate them.

We have to find them at all costs.

We need to find

and catch that bastard.

JUNGJIN FIRE STATION

Have you tried calling Ju-seok?

-He isn't picking up, right? -He's not.

He must be devastated.

He might not even return to work.

-He will. -We're still getting ready.

Just a minute.

Hey!

Hey, stop!

What the hell?

What was that?

-Did we get a call? -I didn't hear anything.

Two years ago,

I was the one who helped the young So Mun

grow to become the uncanny Counter that he is today.

It was me, Ga Mo-tak.

That means you

can also become an uncanny Counter who could surpass him.

Me?

Do you think I can do it?

You have to.

Your father was so delighted when you woke up.

You can't fall back into a coma.

-Of course not. I need to be a good son. -The green is Ms. Chu.

The red is Ha-na.

And do you see the yellow handprint way up top?

The one handprint

that is much higher than the others.

I, Ga Mo-tak,

made that legendary jump.

How did you jump all the way up there?

But one handprint's missing.

There are only three.

Exactly.

Where could Mun's be?

The moment you find his,

we'll accept you as a true Counter.

-Jeok-bong. -Yes?

Let's fly.

Okay.

I love your expression.

It's okay if your first jump's bad. You can get better.

Nice. Are you ready, Jeok-bong?

Now, let's jump!

For the future

You can do it!

Gi-ran.

It's me, Mo-tak.

About that guy, Na Jeok-bong…

Are you sure he's connected with Yung?

Could you check for me?

This is pretty bad.

Okay, sure. Bye.

-Hello? -Mo-tak.

A fire truck has been stolen.

What kind of lunatic steals a fire truck? Who was it?

The thing is…

The thief is a firefighter.

A firefighter?

EMERGENCY ESCORT MINISTRY OF JUSTICE

What's that?

What's with that fire truck?

Did it break down?

I'll go check.

Excuse me.

Is there a problem?

Excuse me.

What's going on?

What the hell?

What in the world?

Shit!

Die!

Damn it!

Who are you? Why are you doing this?

Why are you doing this to me? Why?

Please don't kill me. Why are you doing this to me?

Why?

"Why?"

Why did you kill her?

She tried to forget everything you did

and start living a new life, so why did you kill her?

She was even pregnant!

It's driving me crazy too!

I mean it.

I really can't remember anything.

-You don't remember? -No.

You said the same thing after scamming us.

"We don't remember."

I shouldn't have forgiven bastards like you.

-Ju-seok. -I should've just--

Ju-seok!

Ju-seok.

You're monsters.

How…

How could a human

kill another human?

How could they

kill another human being?

How?

Hi, Treasure.

I'm your mommy.

I'm your daddy. Nice to meet you.

Ju-seok!

Ju-seok.

JUNGJIN POLICE STATION

The suspect Park Seong-uk and the officers on site

thankfully weren't hurt too much.

Did he ask for an attorney?

He said he didn't want one.

He said he'll receive his punishment.

Your mother's really worried

since you're not accepting visitors.

She's doing well though.

She says you need to stay strong

and to not skip your meals.

And as for Ms. Lee…

We laid her to rest

in a nice place.

Thank you, Mun.

Mr. Ma.

You don't have to worry.

-No one was severely injured. -That's good.

I also met someone two years ago.

The man who killed my parents.

At the time,

I wanted to kill him too.

So I know.

I understand

how hard it was for you to make that decision.

You were angry and bitter.

But you held yourself back.

Others won't know, but I do. I understand.

I was a coward.

What?

I was afraid.

Yeah.

I was just scared.

The bastard who killed Min-ji and Treasure…

I wanted to kill him

a thousand times over with my own hands.

But as I was about to,

I became afraid.

I tried to kill him but I couldn't.

Like a fool.

Mr. Ma.

Right now,

I hate myself for hesitating to kill

that worthless scumbag.

Why do you keep saying such things?

-You're a good person-- -I'm not a good person.

So don't think of me that way.

And don't come back.

Mr. Ma.

WE ARE CLOSED

I can't believe it's happening.

I knew one day it would but still.

What can we do?

They know where we are now.

Here are your noodles.

Noodles.

Our last bowls of noodles.

Ms. Chu.

Other noodles won't taste as good as these, right?

Is Mun not here yet?

Sorry I'm late.

-Come on in. -Come and sit.

-Come on in. -Eat up.

This looks good.

Mun.

Yes?

I won't ask you to stop training on your own.

So just let me know if you ever get hurt.

You trained again today?

You really don't listen, do you?

It won't do you any good.

So you're the only Counter?

You'll catch them all yourself?

No.

That's not why.

I just have a lot on my mind.

The evil spirits can see the territory, so we can't find them.

I just feel

very anxious and frustrated.

-Sorry? -What?

Isn't that your motto?

Ms. Chu, the evil spirit hunter.

We're not in sync.

Mun.

If you feel anxious, we do too.

And if you can do it, then we can do it too.

That's us.

Our job's never been easy.

But we'll still get it done no matter what.

And we'll succeed. Isn't that what you said?

Mun…

Once you see our new hideout,

you'll have a change of heart.

You should be excited.

I made sure to pick the best spot.

What?

Judging by what you said, it must not be a noodle shop.

What do you mean?

I thought we were moving to another noodle shop.

You see, my body digests rice better than flour.

So I was hoping for a pho shop.

-Jeok-bong. -Yes?

You want to train or eat noodles?

The latter…

-I should eat the noodles. -Of course.

-Eat up, Jeok-bong. -Eat up.

Welcome, everyone.

Come this way.

-Is this it? -What do you think?

This is his company?

That's right.

That's awesome.

Goodness.

It's humongous.

You're the chairman, but why aren't they greeting you?

We're invisible to them.

And so are the others.

No one will take notice of us here.

Come on, Mo-tak.

I didn't mean it literally.

I told them to act like they don't notice us.

-Come on. -Watch out.

Ms. Chu, how was that?

-Don't say my name. -Ms. Chu.

Why is it so deep inside?

So this is our new hideout.

Close your mouths. You're drooling.

This place is awesome.

There's a shiny new kitchen too.

This place is huge.

If we put in soil to plant lettuce and vegetables here,

they'd be so nice to have for lunch.

You're dead meat if you bring soil in here.

I mean that.

You should've brought us here sooner.

Jeok-bong, come on!

Do you like it?

Stop roughhousing!

What's that?

There's a bunch of fun stuff.

What is this?

A jukebox. Ms. Chu, there's even a jukebox.

Ha-na, the kitchen looks incredible.

What is this?

What is it?

I give up!

Gosh, look at these clothes.

Do you like it?

It's my housewarming gift.

Now, this is more like it.

Is this bulletproof?

Should we test it out?

Bang!

What about our rooms?

There are four in total.

Mo-tak, yours is on the far right.

-Thank you. -Then, Ms. Chu.

-Yours is the second one. -Okay.

You can use that one.

You two can share the last room.

-What? -What?

-He's new. -He doesn't need a room.

It was comfortable outside, right?

Come on. I'm still older than you.

I have seniority.

Be quiet. Change into your gear and meet at the ring.

Okay.

I like how stretchy this is.

It's certainly lighter.

It fits perfectly.

What was that?

No way. An ambush drill?

Am I okay?

-No, you're dead. -You too.

I think I'm still alive.

-Your nose. -You're dead too.

My goodness.

You're keeping us on our toes.

I understand we're all excited about moving to a new hideout.

But I thought all of us, including me, shouldn't let our guard down.

My speed just now was how fast the evil spirit was on that day.

And Mr. Hwang is probably even faster.

You're saying those evil spirits are really this fast?

He's right.

If we want to catch them, we must be faster and stronger than this.

They likely have a rough idea of how strong we are.

So in turn, we must be prepared too.

If that marker was a knife, you'd be all dead.

You should train harder and with purpose from now on. Got it?

Do you think we can dodge them?

Why didn't you tell us about this before?

We must've looked like slowpokes.

Well, the reason is

I know we'll all improve and grow--

Stop.

What are you saying? You took it easy on us?

So we wouldn't feel hurt?

He's looking down on all of us.

Just you wait.

Okay, today…

Let's fight, you punk.

All right. From this moment on,

I'm not Mun, but a complete evil spirit.

-You evil spirit! -Get him!

Hold on!

This evil spirit talks too much.

-I wasn't done talking! -You evil spirit!

I've heard a lot about you!

That's it!

That's it! Great job!

Let me go!

At this rate,

Mun is going to kill all…

Are you all okay?

-We'll end today's session here. -Where do you think you're going?

You're not done?

Fine, Ha-na. You win.

You've become stronger and faster.

-What else? More powerful. -He's right. Ha-na…

-Let's stop here. -Right.

Let's stop.

Goodness, Ms. Chu.

Are you tired?

If you want to end it, then knock me out.

All right, Ms. Do.

You asked for this.

Jeez, he talks so much.

All right.

If you use your eyes, you'll be too slow.

You need to feel it.

I finally landed a punch!

The evil spirit has been summoned!

Ha-na…

Good work, Ha-na.

You're our only hope.

Heal us.

Heal us, Ms. Chu.

You sure are a relentless one, Ha-na.

-Good job. -Good job.

Oh, no.

-The ball hit you by accident. -Yeah.

Sorry about that.

You should've kicked it better. We're all terrible at it.

He totally ignored you.

Sir.

Looks like he's the plucky type.

It's him.

He tried to kill his wife's murderer and was sent to prison.

Right?

You're holding yourself back pretty well.

You're not mad?

Are you a pacifist? Are you?

We can only react once you get mad.

No wonder you couldn't protect your wife or have the guts to kill her murderer.

You idiot.

And this is still okay?

Is it?

Is it okay, you shit--

Let go of me!

Damn it!

Min-ji. Treasure.

I'm sorry

I couldn't protect you.

I'll be there soon.

It won't take long.

I'm sorry, Mom.

I can feel it.

Your deep-seated rage is calling me.

The excruciating pain.

This is it.

This is why you could summon me.

Your sadness. Your rage.

You're different.

Ju-seok.

You want to die?

Min-ji.

Why would you do that?

You're not the one who deserves to die.

Don't die.

Let me help you.

I'll ignite that rage of yours.

All you need to do now is accept me.

What is it?

The Yung people told me to do everything I can.

I can do anything if you're by my side.

Ha-na! Wait up!

Ha-na.

Did you know?

What?

We've been running for the past six hours and seventeen minutes.

So?

I could die at any moment, so let me ask you for a favor.

Please.

Can I have a nice, cold ice cream bar?

I'm begging you.

Fine.

Really?

Others may not know it, but I do.

You're an angel deep down.

-I changed my mind. -You're an angel!

Where are you going?

I saw a convenience store over there!

There's one here too!

I just don't like him.

DO RE MI FA SOL LA TI DO CLASSIC PIANO ACADEMY

Mr. Park, someone's here.

She must be your girlfriend.

-No, I'm not. -Hey.

How could you pair this old lady in a tracksuit with Mr. Park?

Hey, I'm not old.

Do Ha-na.

MUSIC ROOM

Why did you suddenly stop playing?

-Why are you only playing the do note? -Wait. Do?

Hey, Do-hwi.

-Do Ha-na? -It's her, right?

-He's always shy when we talk about her. -It's not like…

that.

Me?

All right, Do-hwi.

Hey…

Good luck.

-What's wrong with you? -Good luck!

Hi.

Hi.

You're Ha-na, right?

No, I'm not.

It's me, Do-hwi.

Park Do-hwi.

I'm not Ha-na.

Ha-na.

So it is you.

I missed you, Ha-na.

What?

What's with this strange vibe?

Come here for a second.

Hey.

Are you okay?

-Hey. -Are you all right?

Your nose is bleeding.

I'm okay. I'm totally fine.

But that's not important right now. Who is he?

-Well… -Take this.

What?

By the way, what's this smell?

Hey, what are you doing?

-Hey. -Hold on.

-What's wrong? -Jeok-bong.

What's this smell?

Sorry. What's the matter with you?

I've never smelled anything like it before.

Hey. Hey!

He's okay.

-Hey! -We should treat him.

We should stop the bleeding.

I'm sorry.

This way.

Can you please calm down?

I'll go to the pharmacy.

There's a piano repairman inside. Tell him to wait once he's done.

Okay.

What medicine does he need?

Dad, I'm going to die!

I'm on my way!

Hey, what smell?

What was it?

You better not be lying or you're dead meat. Got that?

I've smelled all sorts of dung like cow and dog dung.

But I've never smelled this before.

What dung?

Hey!

It's impossible to explain in words. It's the worst smell ever.

Hey.

Oh, my gosh. I'm sorry, sir.

You must be the repairman.

What do I do? Jeez.

An evil spirit?

Close the door.

She's awesome.

-Help me! -Move aside.

-Help me! -Move!

Help me.

Just give up. Don't be foolish.

You better not be foolish.

Unless you want to see me eat her alive.

Move.

Move!

Hey!

Move!

Just a minute.

Hey.

Don't tell me

you can smell evil spirits?

Did they leave?

I didn't get to ask for her number.

Jeok-bong discovered his power.

He could be our only hope in locating the evil spirits who avoid the territory.

You got that special power after smelling cow dung all your life?

I've never heard of such a power before.

So you gained the power

since your nose got busted, right?

Yes.

You're incredible, Jeok-bong.

You found the evil spirit without the territory.

I didn't do anything special.

How should I put it?

I didn't need to try,

so it's like an innate talent. Gosh, I'm blushing.

You still have a long way to go.

You can't even pinpoint the origin of the smell.

Jeok-bong.

Can you even tell the smell apart from cow dung?

I think you've yet to understand this innate gift of mine.

I don't throw up just because I smell dung.

In that case, I would've thrown up my entire life.

Hey, that actually makes sense.

You have a blessed nose. You do.

Anyway, I did catch the evil spirit,

thanks to you, so well done.

I always knew

you were our ace in the hole.

Don't you get that vibe from him?

You sure have a good eye.

-This is so fascinating. -Tell me about it.

Be careful with my nose.

Goodness.

Goodness, how refreshing.

The top bunk is the best when it comes to bunk beds.

But you know I let you have it, right?

We can switch if you want.

That's okay.

We even played rock, paper, scissors before deciding.

Goodness, this is nice.

Jeok-bong.

Yeah?

I'm so grateful and relieved

to have you by our side.

The battle is just around the corner.

If you use your power to catch them--

Who's the scumbag

that upset you?

You weren't asleep?

How could I with all that noise?

Has it…

already been

ten years as Counters for us?

Already ten years?

Time sure does fly.

How many years

did Jang-mul work before retiring?

Why do you suddenly ask?

Is moonlighting too tough?

That's not why.

I'm worried I'll be a hindrance.

It doesn't seem like I'm helping our team that much.

It feels like selecting Jeok-bong

was my final task.

I think…

it might be time for me to step down.

That hurts. I'm going through a lot here.

Were you talking about me?

About not being helpful to the team?

Of course, you're helpful.

If it wasn't for you, everyone here would've been long dead.

Who will mend our bones when we catch evil spirits

if you're not here?

That's right. And I've treated you, so I know best.

You have no idea how much stronger your bones are.

Jeez. Don't act like a baby.

Time goes by

so quickly.

You know…

I used to…

never feel exhausted.

Want some noodles?

Noodles?

When you're feeling down, nothing picks you up

like my famous noodles.

Thanks, Ms. Chu.

But I don't know if it'll have that same taste though.

This isn't my old kitchen.

-By the way, about those noodles… -Yeah?

-Can you make them just for me? -Sure. I'll cook some only for you, kiddo.

I think you're filled to the brim.

It's okay. They're on our side.

Is that fun?

Let me join you.

He's having a blast.

By the way, what's your plan?

There is no plan.

We're just going with the flow.

I can't believe Jeok-bong.

Look at this.

What's that?

Pore strips.

Hey, you little punk.

-You just bought some but you got-- -They're here?

You can put them over there.

What? You little…

By the way, what's this smell?

Ms. Chu is making soybean paste stew, your favorite.

Goodness!

It's best not to stimulate my nose on a daily basis.

Look.

Let me tell you something about the nose.

It can easily become dull to smells.

If you really want it to be effective in critical situations--

Enough with the nonsense.

Jeok-bong.

Let's set the table.

Ha-na.

We'll leave you to it.

What is it this time?

-It stinks. -What?

It reeks!

There's an evil spirit!

-Turn left! -Hurry! Turn the wheel now!

-Hurry up! -I am hurrying!

-Go straight! -Go straight!

Keep going straight.

Go straight then turn right!

-Turn right. -Go straight then turn right!

To the right.

Jeez, why is he going back and forth?

Turn left!

Turn left.

Turn left.

How many lefts do we have to take?

This is the tenth left.

Stay focused!

It's here!

-Turn right! -Turn right!

Turn right!

-Make a U-turn! -A U-turn?

Turn right!

-Hey! -What are you doing?

You little--

You're doing well, Jeok-bong! Keep it up! Good job!

Go straight.

-Go straight! -Go straight!

The smell's getting closer!

We're the ones getting closer, you…

You idiot.

Go straight!

This way.

You sure it's here?

I think it's the wrong place.

You said you could differentiate smells.

Goodness, no wonder it smelled kind of familiar.

You punk.

I have high blood pressure now, thanks to you.

Jeok-bong, you…

You've been way too cocky lately.

I better not see you using those pore strips ever again.

I was sure it was an evil spirit.

I'm sorry.

Come on. He just discovered his power.

Don't get too discouraged.

-Let's go home. -Let's go.

It set foot.

What?

Is it them?

It's a big one, but not one of them. It's a level three.

It has a knife, so it must be a burglar.

But that's all I can see.

-Where is it? -In the reeds next to the outer roads.

-Isn't that far from here? -Let's hurry.

Hold on.

What is it, Ha-na?

It's an art museum.

It's in a black hoodie.

It's not one of Mr. Hwang's group either.

So they set foot at the same time?

The art museum one at Mount Dongin is small. A level one.

Small?

-Let's split up then. -Sure.

We need to save the victims.

Ms. Chu and I can take care of the smaller one.

I bet the leaves at Mount Dongin are beautiful.

You'll be going for a nice drive on your way there.

Even during war, there's love--

Stop embarrassing yourself and just drive.

We'll join you guys soon.

-Stay safe. -Okay.

Are you coming or what?

What lovely weather.

Don't you agree?

It's a shame I can't take you anywhere nice on a day like this.

What is it?

Does it excite you to put the uniform on once again?

There seems to be more evil spirits nowadays.

They're more vicious too.

Tell me about it.

Those darn evil spirits are like cockroaches.

No matter how many you catch, they keep popping up.

What's wrong?

Why do you look so tense?

Why worry when I'm here?

Focus on getting there quickly.

THE MUSEUM IS CLOSED FOR THE DAY

Is that him?

You little bastard!

Stop right there!

Are you okay?

Hey, you punk.

What's the matter with you? You're distracting me.

It's nothing.

Jeok-bong. You have something to say, right?

What?

It's okay. Feel free to say it.

It's only natural for your new power to be unstable.

To be honest,

the smell seems worse toward the west.

West?

That's toward Mount Dongin.

Wasn't that a level one?

Yes. The art museum had a level one. The reeds had a level three.

Na Jeok-bong, stop making us anxious.

That's why I didn't want to say anything.

But this smell keeps…

Seriously…

Please let me go.

I did everything you asked.

So please spare--

There are two of you.

Does that mean there are four left?

You little…

What if…

Jeok-bong is right?

Maybe it didn't step on our territory.

Mun, don't say such things. You're making me nervous.

Looks like the weakest ones came here.

You little…

It's only natural

for the weakest ones

to die first.

This won't do. Ms. Chu.

Ms. Chu?

Ms. Chu!

I can't get in touch.

Na Jeok-bong, get it straight!

-What? -Which one's the stronger one?

I…

I think it's the one at the art museum.

Wait. Is it the one in the reeds?

I'm sorry. I don't know.

I really don't know.

We have no choice. Jeok-bong and I will go to the reeds.

Smile.

Damn it.

-Jang-mul. -My arm isn't what it used to be.

But… once I eat your souls,

it'll get stronger, right?

There we go.

Did you eat some wild ginseng, old man?

Then, you should've had better ones!

Jang-mul!

Ms. Chu!

Run! Get away at all costs!

Jang-mul, are you okay?

We won't die here.

We won't.

You think you can hold out?

You could die from your organs bursting.

Don't fight it, Ms. Chu.

Just strike me down.

You can

just fix me up later.

No…

No!

Please…

Ms. Chu.

Well, isn't this heart-wrenching?

Mun.

So it was you.

Right.

This was eventually going to be our fight.

What a shame.

I didn't want to kill you

so soon.

Thanks.

I wanted to see you for one last time.

This is the end for you, you asshole.

THE UNCANNY COUNTER 2

The smell!

It's getting closer.

I made a promise.

I promised

to catch you at all costs.

Among the memories of that bitch from the reeds,

that woman was there.

Do you know what you've done?

Do you know what kind of people you've destroyed?

To my warehouse family.

I realized how powerless I was.

In all my life, I've never met a Counter who ran away like you.

Does Jeok-bong attract evil spirits or something?
