The Cursed (The Method / Bangbeob / 방법)

Let's see what's on Forest.

Mother-in-law, domestic violence,

CEO...

Let's see. Print.

A CEO that forces an employee to drink when he can't...

is a bad guy.

"Please curse our CEO."

Captain.

Please have a seat.

I'll take that. - Thank you.

Please sit. - Okay.

Thank you for everything.

I was able...

to give Jin Soo a proper funeral thanks to you.

What do you plan...

I'm going to move into my parents' house for now.

The baby will be here soon.

After I give birth,

I'm going to run my brother's wholesale fruit store with him.

Jin Soo was supposed to run it with me, but...

I've lived a comfortable life until now thanks to Jin Soo.

I'm... I'm sorry.

I didn't say that to make you feel bad.

At first, I felt like my world had crumbled.

But I realized I had to get it together for our baby.

They say moms are stronger than you think.

That's right.

I had told Jin Soo to quit the force...

and to tell you that he's quitting.

But he said...

he could never bring it up whenever he saw your leg.

He said he felt like you got hurt in his place.

Captain.

I want to know...

why that happened to him and who was behind it.

Why did someone so kind...

have to suffer such a brutal death?

All the officers in our precinct are doing our best.

We will uncover the truth at all costs.

Can you stand by what you just said?

Yes. I will.

Whatever it takes,

whatever it costs,

I will punish...

the scumbag who did that to Jin Soo.

Please keep your word.

Please.

I will.

How is she?

She seems better than I had feared.

She says she's going to start working again.

I'm glad.

What about you? How are you?

How dangerous is it?

I'm not sure.

But...

thinking back on everything Jin Jong Hyun has done until now,

I think it's very dangerous.

How sure are you...

that the scumbag Jin Jong Hyun...

hired the guys to kill Jin Soo?

I'm 100 percent sure.

Sung Joon.

Listen carefully.

Chairman Jin Jong Hyun is obsessed with superstitions.

Everything he did until now,

he did because he's obsessed with superstitions.

He even killed Detective Yang...

because of a pen cap.

And then?

I was in an abandoned factory...

with my hands and feet bound.

They didn't say a thing,

and kept beating me up.

This video is of Min Jung In, Forest's whistleblower,

during his interview with Ms. Im Jin Hee of Joongjin Daily.

If you listen to his statement, the location and methods...

are very similar to the torture and murder of Detective Yang Jin Soo.

It's related to that hashtag "Forest of Curses".

They abducted and killed people...

to hide something about it.

The similarity between Min Jung In, who died in an accident...

while whistleblowing on Forest, and Detective Yang Jin Soo...

is that both of them had looked into the manipulation...

of the hashtag "Forest of Curses".

We still don't know why Forest would commit such crimes...

to hide that secret,

but I'm positive it is related to the Forest of Curses.

I'm sure you don't understand,

but if Jin Jong Hyun really is obsessed with superstitions,

shouldn't we look at this from his point of view?

How do we find out...

what that psycho is thinking?

When I interviewed Min Jung In, there was something...

that nagged at me.

So I was talking to my colleagues, saying how unfair it was,

and a manager who had started at the Finance Department with me,

said something strange.

That Forest has a strange subsidiary.

A strange subsidiary?

Yes. It's called Jinkyung Corporation.

It's a paper company.

I don't know what they do.

It's supposed to be some sort of a corporate counseling firm,

but I don't know what they provide counseling for.

But...

every year, over three million dollars...

goes to them.

Three million dollars?

It costs three million dollars for counseling?

Yes.

But I hear...

it's really a shaman.

I believe this video will be an important key...

to solving the cases of Min Jung In's assault and murder,

Kim Ju Hwan's death,

and Detective Yang Jin Soo's torture and murder.

As you see here,

it seems Jin Jong Hyun believes in a superstition...

and followed the shaman of Jinkyung Corporation's orders...

and committed these crimes that make no reasonable sense.

Consistent with his statement, Forest was responsible...

for all their revenue over the past 10 years.

Over the past five years, three million dollars...

was consistently listed as revenue as counseling fees for Forest.

In the past three months, there were additional income...

of about a million dollars from Forest for special equipment.

What? Equipment? What kind of equipment costs a million dollars?

It's listed as an artwork,

but there are no details.

Does that mean we have no evidence to investigate that equipment?

Two years ago,

Jinkyung Corporation tried to smuggle in a live goat from China,

and was hit with a fine for 4,000 dollars.

They haven't paid it yet though.

That means...

we can use the smuggling...

to request a search warrant.

Yes. If we go through Customs, we can point to past infraction...

and say we suspect the smuggling of illegal goods,

and since there are no details on the million-dollar equipment,

we can investigate them for embezzlement.

What about that junior director rat who bribed Lee Jin Sung?

We're trying to obtain evidence to collude Detective Lee's confession.

We've sent a summons to Mr. Lee Hwan to come in today.

What should we do? Should we just ignore it?

No, say I'll go in.

It's not like we didn't expect it. Don't worry too much.

I don't think it's anything serious.

Will you tell the chairman?

It's not important enough to tell the chairman.

Call the police and tell them...

I'll head there now.

Yes, sir.

What happened with the Im Jin Hee matter?

I called Joongjin Daily,

and she's on vacation starting yesterday.

She was recently promoted to the section editor.

So?

We're still trying to locate her,

but we haven't been able to.

Let me know once you do.

Yes, sir.

How is the girl doing?

She's a lot better.

Good.

Is where you're headed safe?

Wouldn't it be safer for us to find you a safe house?

I paid for everything here in cash.

Forest may still have police officers on their payroll.

I think this is safer.

Don't tell anyone for now.

Okay.

But that girl So Jin...

Why did she ask you for help of all people?

Right?

She needed someone's help,

but didn't know whom she could trust.

I think that's why she came to me.

Sung Joon. - Yes?

Did I ever tell you that I was an outcast in school?

No. You never told me that.

When I was in school,

I had a close friend.

That friend's name was also So Jin.

Lee So Jin.

Pick one.

This one. What is it?

This one is better.

Hey. - What?

So Jin and I were picked on a lot by the school bullies.

Tell me. Is what she said true?

One day, they said they were having a birthday party,

and told us to sell 30 tickets to the party for 10 dollars each.

That was what they said, but who would actually buy them?

So Jin couldn't get the money,

and told the teacher.

Im Jin Hee! Tell me now!

I... I don't know anything.

I was too scared of them,
