The Cursed (The Method / Bangbeob / 방법)

I had no idea that's how things would go either.

Regardless, it's a good thing for your company, isn't it?

He just croaked on his own.

By drunk driving, at that.

That's right.

I'll take care of the rest,

so don't worry.

Okay, bye-bye.

Where is the cap?

I don't know. I'll look for it tomorrow.

Let's go.

Let's go home.

Is someone still here?

Seriously. Punks these days leave right at quitting time.

Who's there?

The security camera captured how he died.

There's nothing unusual.

It looks like he twisted his body...

until he died.

Are you saying a sane person can do that to himself?

We need the autopsy report to figure out the details.

Did you get his call records prior to his death?

Yes. The service provider will send them to us soon.

Also, I think we should call in and question everyone he met...

on that day, starting from those who were in the videos.

Call in everyone we can right away.

We can begin...

with people seen in the videos going into his office.

Yes, sir.

First, the workers in the office...

said Kim Ju Hwan had an argument in his office that day.

So I checked the video, and...

Why don't you take a look?

Thank you. - Thanks.

Here.

Do I have to go tonight to the autopsy...

of Kim Ju Hwan's body?

Why?

Well, after I saw that body last night, I couldn't sleep,

eat, or...

You're a detective. Why are you so weak?

Yes. Why is a detective so weak?

Our senior detective here threw up all night long.

You threw up?

Anyway, who will question Jin Hee when she comes in...

later today?

Right? Who should do it?

Wouldn't Captain do it himself? She's his wife after all.

Right? It would look weird for us to do it.

Why?

Think about him. Knowing him,

he wouldn't want to do it since she's family.

He shouldn't, either, in order to be impartial.

How could you say that?

She's coming in to give a witness statement.

She isn't a suspect.

We won't know whether or not she's a suspect...

until we actually investigate.

What?

Several witnesses stated that she and Kim Ju Hwan...

got into a big fight that day.

Yes, that's right.

And we don't know exactly where she was after the fight.

Why won't she pick up? I'm getting worried.

Why? You can't reach Jin Hee?

That's true, but...

The closer you are, the more thoroughly you need to investigate.

That way, people won't suspect you. Am I wrong?

Did you eat yet?

Hello.

Hey. When Jin Hee comes later,

you question her.

Okay.

It wouldn't look good...

if I question her myself.

Thanks. - Yes, sir.

See you later. - See you later.

He probably heard, right?

He did.

The key resource of the fourth industrial revolution is data.

However, sadly, the rate of use of big data in Korea..

is stagnating at 9.5 percent,

which ranks the country in the lower half.

Our Intelligence and Data Team...

is aware of the importance of big data,

which controls who will have the competitive edge in the future,

and propose building a big data center.

Moreover,

the current government announced a budget of a billion dollars...

to facilitate the growth of data businesses.

First, we will build a big data center.

Second, we'll make the data public.

Third, the market for data production...

and distribution will automatically be established within Forest.

Hi there, my favorite detective at Seodong Police Station.

Super Cop! Lee Jin Sung!

Hey. How have you been? It's been so long.

I was meaning to give you a call.

What?

What?

I said, Mr. Kim Ju Hwan is dead.

Who?

Mr. Kim Ju Hwan of Joongjin Daily.

Yes.

But your number showed up...

in his call records.

I need to report this but wanted to give you a heads up.

Wait, so how did he die?

Tell me in detail how he died.

So? What about the guy from Joongjin Daily?

I think he was murdered because of his connection...

to us, that's why.

The way he died was a bit...

They say it was mysterious.

Anyway, he's sending me the documents by messenger,

so please wait a few minutes.

Sung Joon. - Hey, Jin Hee.

What's going on? - Hey.

Mr. Kim Ju Hwan is dead?

Calm down for now. We're still investigating.

How did he die?

Why don't you go to the interrogation room?

Jin Hee. It's nothing serious. So just...

tell them what you know honestly.

Jin Hee, yesterday...

Actually, I'll call you "Ms. Im Jin Hee" for these purposes.

Okay.

I know it must be uncomfortable. Just answer me truthfully.

Around what time did you see Mr. Kim Ju Hwan yesterday?

It was sometime in the late afternoon...

The employees say you got into a big fight in his office.

I did.

What was it about?

We had an argument about the article...

on Mr. Min Jung In, Forest's whistleblower.

I had interviewed him and wanted to write about it,

but the higher-ups opposed.

However...

an article was published overnight, filled with lies...

that the whistleblower tried to sell Forest's clients' personal data...

on a foreign gambling site.

And then...

And then, Mr. Min Jung In, the whistleblower, died yesterday.

Yes.

That's why...

I questioned Mr. Kim Ju Hwan...

if he wrote an article like that because he was connected...

with Forest.

Where did you go thereafter?

I went straight home.

I wasn't in a good mood, so I turned my phone off...

and went to sleep.

But...

how did...

Mr. Kim Ju Hwan die?

Was he in an accident?

Or was he murdered?

We're still investigating.

Did you contact him at any time after then?

Sir, this just came...

Darn it.

Thank you.

Things will be awkward at the paper right now,

so just go home.

I need to see the chief, so Jin Soo...

Sure. I'll escort you out.

Jin Hee. Go home and get some rest, okay?

This way.

Detective Yang. How was Mr. Kim murdered?

Jin Hee, we don't have evidence that he was murdered.

How did he die?

I've never had a case like this before, so...

Tell me.

So,

it's like an incredibly powerful force crumpled him up.

The security camera did catch what happened as he died,

but he suddenly started to twist his body around.

He twisted and bent his body until he died.

I'll start now.

Are you all right?

Detective Yang, I have a favor to ask.

Let me know once you get the autopsy report.

What? - Please. Do this for me.

Please, Jin Soo.

Is the chairman in? - Yes.

Quickly.

Sir, Mr. Lee Hwan is here to see you.

Tell him to come in quickly. - Yes, sir.

Come in.

I had bribed a cop to be my mole for the whistleblowing case...

with Min Jung In, and he sent this.

Give it to me.

They're pictures of the body of Mr. Kim Ju Hwan...

What is this?

Well...

When is Ms. Jin Kyung coming back to Korea?

I'll check right now.

Okay.

I'm a performer of procedures.

A performer of procedures? - Don't you know "procedures"?
