#FOREST OF CURSES_KIM MU-HYEON, #CEO, #BOOMER

PLEASE PUT A CURSE ON MY CEO

I TOLD HIM I'M ALLERGIC TO ALCOHOL, BUT HE FORCED ME TO DRINK

Let me print this.

FOREST OF CURSES, MR. PARK PRINTING

A CEO that forces someone who can't drink to drink?

He's a bad man.

"Please put a curse on my CEO."

KIDDO, I CAN FEEL YOUR HEARTBEAT

Sir.

Please take a seat.

- I can take that. - Thank you.

- I'll sit here. - Okay.

Thank you for everything.

All thanks to you,

Jin-soo's funeral went off without a hitch.

What do you plan to do now?

I decided to move back to my parents' for the time being.

My due date is coming up...

And after I give birth,

I decided to run the produce store with my brother.

I was supposed to run it with Jin-soo.

I lived comfortably until now thanks to Jin-soo.

I'm sorry.

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

At first, it felt like my whole world was crumbling down,

but I realized I needed to pull myself together for our baby.

They say that mothers are stronger than you think.

They do.

I told Jin-soo to tell you

that he was quitting the force.

But Jin-soo said that

he could never bring himself to say it when he saw your leg.

He said that it felt like you got hurt in his place.

Sir,

I want to know why that happened to Jin-soo,

and who did that to him.

Why did someone so kind

have to die such a horrible death?

All the officers in our precinct are doing their best.

We will uncover the truth.

Can you promise me that you will?

Yes, I will.

No matter what happens,

and no matter the cost.

I will make sure the bastards

who did that to Jin-soo pay for what they did.

You must keep your word.

You must.

Yes, I will.

How is she?

She seems better than what we feared.

She said she's going to start working again.

Thank goodness.

What about you?

How are you doing?

How much danger are you in?

I'm not sure.

But...

I think I'm in a pretty dangerous situation

considering all the things that Chairman Jin has done.

You said that bastard

put a curse on Jin-soo to end up like that.

How sure are you of that?

One hundred percent.

Sung-joon,

listen to me carefully.

Chairman Jin Jong-hyun is someone who's obsessed with superstitions,

and everything happened so far

was because of his obsession.

He killed Detective Yang because of the fountain pen cap.

And then?

I was at some sort of abandoned factory,

and my hands and feet were tied to the chair.

And...

And they didn't say anything.

They just kept hitting me.

This video is from the interview of Director Lim of Joongjin Daily

and Min Jung-in, the whistleblower of Forest.

If you take a look at his statement, the location and methods were

very similar to the torture and murder of Yang Jin-soo.

It must have something to do with that Forest of Curses tag.

They want to hide something about that.

That's why they're kidnapping and even murdering people.

The accidental deaths of Mr. Min, and Detective Yang share a similarity.

They both looked into the manipulation of the Forest of Curses hashtag.

It's still unclear as to why Forest is committing these crimes

and what they're trying to hide,

but it seems that it's somehow related to the Forest of Curses.

What I'm saying may not make much sense to you,

but if he is actually someone obsessed with superstitions,

shouldn't we consider that lunatic's perspective?

He's a crazy bastard.

How can we find out what he's thinking?

When I interviewed Min Jung-in,

there was something that bothered me.

So I was talking to other employees about how ridiculous this was,

and one of my colleagues from the Finance Team said something odd.

He said that one of the subsidiary companies of Forest is weird.

A weird company?

Yes.

It's called Jinkyung Corporation,

but it's just a company on paper.

I don't know what they do.

They said they do some sort of corporate counseling,

but I'm not sure exactly what kind of counseling they do.

But the thing is,

over three billion won is wired to that company every year.

Three billion won?

They just do counseling and they get three billion won?

That's right.

But I heard it's a shamaness.

I believe this video will be the key to solving

Mr. Min's assault and battery case,

Director Kim's murder case, and Detective Yang's torture and murder case.

As you can see here, we suspect Chairman Jin is enamored by superstitions

and follows the orders of Jinkyung Corporation's shamaness,

leading him to commit these unfathomable crimes.

Consistent with the witness statement, it seems that

Forest has consistently been its revenue stream for the past ten years.

Over the past five years, Forest has consistently spent

around three billion won annually for counseling fees.

Ans in the past three months, they received 1,5 billion more to purchase

- various equipment from Forest. - Equipment?

What kind of equipment was purchased for 1,5 billion won?

It's listed as artwork on the paperwork,

but there are no other details.

Does that mean we have no evidence to pursue an investigation on that?

Two years ago, they attempted to smuggle in a live goat from China

through the Jinkyung Corporation, and ended up with a four-million won fine.

But they still haven't paid that yet.

Then...

we can use the smuggling as the grounds for a search warrant.

Yes, we can pursue an embezzlement charge

if we go through Customs and use the past infraction to say

that we suspect illegal imports are being smuggled in.

Also, the unclear purchase of equipment worth 1,5 billion could be a reason too.

What happened to that director who bribed Lee Jin-sung?

We're looking for evidence that supports Detective Lee's confession.

We've summoned Mr. Lee Hwan to come in today.

SEOUL SEODONG POLICE STATION LETTER OF REQUEST FOR ACCUSED

What should we do, sir? Should we just ignore it for now?

No, tell them I'll be there.

It's not like we weren't expecting this.

I don't think we need to worry about it.

It doesn't seem like anything serious.

Are you going to report it to the chairman?

I don't think it's important enough to report it to the chairman.

Call the police and tell them that I'm on my way.

- Yes, sir. - What about Reporter Lim's issue?

I called Joongjin Daily and they said she's been on leave since yesterday.

It seems that she's recently been promoted to director.

So?

We're still looking into her whereabouts,

but we haven't confirmed anything.

- Call me once you do. - Yes, sir.

What about that child? How is she doing?

She's a lot better.

Good.

Are you heading somewhere safe?

Wouldn't it be safer for us to find another place to stay?

I paid in cash.

And we don't know if Forest still has people in the police.

I think this is safer.

Keep this to yourself for now.

Okay.

But why do you think

So-jin asked you for help out of all people?

Yes, I wonder why.

She needed someone's help,

but she didn't know whom to trust.

Maybe that's when she found me.

- Sung-joon. - Yes.

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

No, I don't think so.

When I was in school,

I had a friend that I was close to.

Her name was So-jin too.

Lee So-jin.

Pick one.

This one. What is it?

This one is better.

- Hey! - Why?

So-jin and I were bullied a lot by other mean students.

Spit it out.

Is she telling the truth?

One day, they said they were having a birthday party

and told each of us to sell 30 tickets of 10,000-won ticket.

They told us to sell, but who would buy those tickets?

So-jin couldn't get the money,

and ended up telling our teacher.

Lim Jin-hee, spit it out!

I...

don't know anything about that.

I was scared of them,

so I denied it.

You were young. It happens. Don't beat yourself up.

That day...

my friend, So-jin, jumped off her apartment building and killed herself.

That wasn't your fault.

And...

twenty years later, So-jin appeared in front of me.

I can't just sit back as I did back then.

Jin-hee.

What happened back then wasn't your fault.

And you shouldn't try to take all this on by yourself now either.

They might have the same name,

but the situations are completely different.

No, they're not different.

Then and now...

I'm with So-jin.

I don't want to run away again.

There are so many requests.

Let's see now. Who else posted something?

"Suicide."

"Don't pay them back."

"Sister."

"Girlfriend."

#FOREST OF CURSES_BAEK SO-JIN

"This is the bully that torments me at school."

"I don't want to go to school anymore

because of her and I want to die."

#FOREST OF CURSES_BAEK SO-JIN, #BULLY

I GUESS THE CURSE WORKED

I guess the curse worked.

She stopped coming to school two days ago. Thank you, everyone.

Baek So-jin.

Baek So-jin...

Baek So-jin...

MS. JIN KYUNG

Yes, Ms. Jin, it's me.

Can you please come to my house now?

Yes, right now.

Okay.

Baek So-jin...

You can't come out of there for any reason, okay?

So-jin.

You and I...

We can't go on cursing people and living like this forever.

It's okay. He's my husband.

You can relax.

I'm a police officer.

And her husband.

This lady filled me in on everything that's happened so far.

She's my sister.

Pardon? What was that?

She's my sister, not some lady.

I see...

Oh, is that so? Sister...

Then am I going to be your brother too?

It's okay, So-jin.

You can just call him Mister.

Okay, fine. Then I'll be Mister.

Anyway, this lady...

I mean, your sister told me everything.

About your mom...

and how Chairman Jin Jong-hyun is trying to harm you.

Stuff like that.

I'm a police officer,

so I'll do everything I can to investigate this.

So the two of you

need to safely hide out here.

Okay?

I got you a new phone.

I installed a tracking app, so keep it on you at all times.

So I can find you no matter what happens.

Okay.

So-jin.

Right?

It might be uncomfortable, but just hang in there a little bit.

This is honestly nothing. It's going to be okay.

I'm going to get going.

Give me a second.

Call me if anything seems strange.

I'll keep in touch.

Okay. Don't worry.

And...

can you look into the CEO of Jinkyung Corporation?

I need to find something out.

Okay.

But don't take a single step out of here, got it?

Don't worry.

All right. I'll call you.

Okay.

Jin-hee, what do we do now?

Do we just stay here?

No.

We're going to find out the name of that shamaness through him.

Her name and face are one thing.

How are we going to get our hands on something that she used?

I have an idea.

This way.

Why are there so many fortune tellers?

- Try going that way. - Yes, sir.

- Sir, it's here. - Okay.

Is anyone in?

Is this it? Jinkyung Corporation?

Yes, it is their address.

Is anyone in?

Who is it?

- We're with the police. - Pardon?

Excuse me, what is this about?

Why are you doing this?

I told you that we're with the police.

Jinkyung Corporation is now officially under investigation

for smuggling and tax evasion. Did you understand?

What? What charges did you say?

Yes.

- Okay. - It's here too.

- Detective Ahn, look there. - Yes, sir.

Excuse me.

What did we smuggle in?

Do you work here?

No, I'm the CEO.

The CEO?

Please cooperate with the investigation then.

Hey, we don't have time. Hurry up!

- Yes, sir! - Yes, sir!

Hey, don't touch that.

Oh, man...

SEODONG POLICE STATION

Sir, this way.

- He's here already? - Yes, I was surprised as well.

RECORDING ROOM

Captain, I presume?

I was surprised.

I didn't expect to see you in here so soon.

Well, my office was getting a bit stuffy, and I thought I would come

and get some fresh air.

The weather was nice today too.

Nice? It's freezing.

You do know you're here because of a potential bribery charge, right?

Did you just say that I might be potentially charged?

All right. Detective, according to Article 133 of the Criminal Act,

A person who promises, delivers, or manifests a will to deliver a bribe

shall be imprisoned for no more than five years

or pay a fine not exceeding 20 million won.

And bribery qualifies for immediate arrest.

But I just came in because I was summoned, is that correct?

And with absolutely no evidence to back it up,

you just keep throwing "charge" in there.

Don't you think I might find that offensive?

You're aware of Detective Lee Jin-sung, right?

I'm not.

Detective Lee Jin-sung confessed that you paid him off.

Listen to me, Detective.

People like me who do a lot of business transactions

go around meeting a lot of people.

However, I make sure to avoid starting anything to do with money

that might cause problems in the future. Also, let's say

I met that detective and bribed him, okay?

Did he say I wired him the money? Or cash? Check?

You should show me evidence that proves he received money from me

before you start talking to me. I'd really appreciate it.

And from what I know, this Detective Lee Jin-sung

is an officer at this precinct.

He's on your team, isn't he?

If he leaked confidential police information,

that's an internal issue for the police.

Internal affairs should proceed with that.

And in the end, you're to blame for not keeping an eye on

this big mouth...

Hey, what did you just say?

Did you just say big mouth?

- Hey, say it again! - Sir...

Do we look easy to you, punk?

Sir...

Do you think Jin-sung would have handed that intel over for nothing?

Sir...

Listen to that nonsense! Does this make any sense to you?

Sir...

What has gotten into you? Don't you think the captain is upset too?

- What? Move aside. - Come on, sir.

I've never seen you this upset.

You don't normally even talk that much.

Let's just go take a little break. I'll make sure to rip that punk.

Sir, I'm...

Wow, you guys are just like gangsters here.

Let me ask this since the subject of payment came up.

What was this intel that I allegedly received from this big mouth?

Was it beneficial to me or the company?

It's still an open investigation, so I can't reveal the details to you.

Okay, I get it. And Detective, our company goes public next week.

Do you understand?

So this is a very important event

for our company's employees and their families. Don't you think so?

Because of that,

there are many companies that are trying to attack our company.

I have it tough.

You should maybe steer the investigation in that direction.

Doesn't that sound more sensible?

Since you brought up the subject of your company,

are you aware of this popular hashtag at Forest, the Forest of Curses?

Yes, I am.

What about the Forest of Curses?

Based on our investigation,

Forest gained popularity with the Forest of Curses hashtag

through which users curse other people as a sort of amusement...

Yes, exactly. It's just for amusement.

- Pardon? - It's just for amusement.

People who use our company's site do that for amusement.

But

suspicion has been raised about Forest using the Coding Team

to manipulate it so that amusement gains popularity.

Yes, you're really speaking a lot of nonsense right now.

A company that's about to go public

is doing such a heinous thing, just to gain some popularity?

Don't you think that makes no sense?

Regardless, it's true that Forest did get popular as a result.

If the company intentionally had

the Coding Team manipulate the hashtags,

you're aware that would be considered as cyber defamation?

Then you would need to kiss that IPO goodbye.

Detective.

Start-up companies like us can experience growth inexplicably

just like how you put it.

But the company doesn't strive for growth that's solely based on that image.

Why not?

If a company's growth is solely based on such a negative image,

the company is certainly bound to hit a wall.

So what you're saying is

you've never used the Coding Team to maintain the Forest of Curses.

No, of course. Our stance is the exact opposite.

We want to get rid of that negative image.

We're doing our utmost best to filter the posts

associated with the Forest of Curses tag and remove the ones

that violate the cyber defamation law.

Even our Coding Team...

Wait. I get it.

It seems like you actually misunderstand the role of the Coding Team.

Right? That's what it seems like.

I guess it might be hard to understand

if you don't see the company's big picture.

Anyway, it seems like I've been here too long for the sake of fresh air.

Do you have any more questions?

If you don't, I'll get going.

Oh, my...

Oh, that's right.

There's a reporter who's been quite critical of us recently.

A reporter named Lim Jin-hee.

She's your wife, isn't she?

Was she the one who instigated this and pushed you to use your power?

Tell me.

Just like that big mouth who went around leaking police intel,

are you doing the same?

What do you think?

Isn't this what you call reasonable doubt?

That punk is such a damn prick.

Anyway, sir.

What do you think they're trying to do with the Forest of Curses hashtag?

Is it all just for popularity?

- Bring me Lee Hwan's call records. - Yes, sir.

- Yes, Sung-joon. - Hey, Jin-hee.

We went into Jinkyung Corporation with a search and seizure warrant.

What about that female CEO? Did you look into her?

I did look into it, but it's a man, not a woman.

It's a man?

Yes, it's a man named Cheon Joo-bong.

It should be a shamaness.

Cheon Joo-bong is the only person listed on the documents.

There are no employees listed, just the CEO. It's a one-man operation.

Okay, then can you look into him?

What about the things that were in there?

There were a whole bunch of things,

but there's no way of knowing what they were used for.

We took pictures of everything,

so we're going to consult a folklorist expert.

Okay, thanks.

Wait, Sung-joon.

When you went in with the warrant, was Cheon Joo-bong there as well?

Yes, he was there by himself when the team showed up unannounced.

Okay, then.

Thank you.

IDENTIFICATION: CHEON JOO-BONG

So-jin.

Have you ever seen this man?

You said it was a shamaness, not a shaman, right?

This man probably helps out the shamaness.

She's hiding her identity.

Then what do we do now?

It's fine.

I knew that this wasn't going to be easy.

This actually worked out.

Can we get

any of his belongings?

No.

We don't actually need anything in our possession.

That person already thinks we have something in our possession.

Let's go. Get ready.

No, wait.

I think we can take our time. Finish eating first.

You should eat something too.

Okay, let's both eat.

#FOREST OF CURSES_BAEK SO-JIN, #BULLY

Ms. Jin.

Take a look at this girl's face for me.

Someone posted a picture of this girl with the Forest of Curses hashtag

because this girl bullied her at school.

She looked familiar.

#FOREST OF CURSES_BAEK SO-JIN, #BULLY

She does have an unusual face.

Why do you ask?

Sir.

- Lee Hwan. - Yes, sir.

- Oh, that's right. - Yes, sir?

Ms. Jin's place was searched.

Yes, sir. That happened, unfortunately.

What was the charge?

There was an unpaid fine from a few years ago when you imported

that goat from China, and there were possible tax evasion charges.

Oh, that's right.

That Chinese punk didn't prepare the proper paperwork

for the sacrificial goat.

That was from a few years ago.

You still didn't take care of that?

No, ma'am.

That won't affect our taxes, will it?

It seems like the police are just charging at us for the time being.

Why are they charging at us?

Well, there is a detective that's investigating us at the moment.

The reporter, Lim Jin-hee who's working with the enchanter

that's after you, seems to be married to this detective.

A reporter?

That brat is no joke.

So the press and the government will collude

and go after an honest businessman like myself?

This country is rotten to the core.

I believe this matter will be resolved soon.

I gathered the most capable lawyers

and put them on Mr. Cheon's case.

- Mr. Lee. - Yes, ma'am.

If we want our chairman to find some peace,

we need to find that enchanter quickly.

If you can't find her,

we need to catch that reporter and squeeze it out of her.

Yes, ma'am.

Ms. Jin.

That's why I showed you this picture.

When I was possessed by that demon after a ritual,

the shamaness who performed the ritual had a daughter who was about ten years old.

Yes, So-jin.

That's right. So-jin.

Baek So-jin.

The kids that posted this with the Forest of Curses hashtag claimed

that she stopped coming to school the day after we performed the backlash.

Are you saying that

this girl is the enchanter that's after you?

Probably.

But the name So-jin...

is pretty common.

- Lee Hwan. - Yes, sir.

Let me meet this kid, So-jin, myself.

No, sir. You can't use your energy.

The IPO is only a few days away.

Ms. Jin, I must meet this child in person to know

if she's the enchanter or not!

I'm not saying that I'm going to do anything to her.

I'll find out as much as I can through this Lim Jin-hee, sir.

At this moment, I think it'd be best if you focused on the IPO.

Then at least let me meet Lim Jin-hee in person!

So I can wipe them out!

Chairman.

We'll work hard.

Don't concern yourself with other things. Just take care of yourself for a while.

Yes, ma'am.

Chairman.

The shamans will be in Korea tomorrow.

If you can get through tonight safely, they'll be able to protect you.

I'm just worried

that you might fall ill before the big day.

#FOREST OF CURSES_BAEK SO-JIN, #BULLY

Sir, I'm sorry about that earlier.

- I couldn't stop myself. - It's okay, you did well.

Pardon?

If you didn't do that,

I would have taken a jab at his face first.

But Forest has been acting a bit strangely.

Lee Hwan showed up willingly before and now they hire,

and they put three lawyers over a case like this to represent him.

The thing is...

It seems to us that the police are launching this investigation,

targeting my client without any evidence.

There's no evidence, circumstantial, or anything that would lead to suspicions

of tax evasion by Jinkyung Corporation or Forest.

Based on our investigation,

we suspect that Jinkyung provides some sort of support for Forest.

And the fact that Jinkyung gets a significant amount of funds

confirms the possibility of tax evasion based on previous cases.

As you well know, Jinkyung has provided Forest

with corporate counseling in management tactics.

And we're not required to disclose the methods of that counseling.

Actually, according to the paperwork we submitted,

there seem to be no issues when it comes to taxes.

You know that we can only drag this out until today, right?

It's going to be difficult to keep going.

The fact we were in Jinkyung's offices was a big win for us.

Why don't we end our CEO's questioning here for now?

And Detective,

if you do find even the smallest shred of evidence,

you can call him back in.

And the company claims that they paid the fine from several years ago.

- So that shouldn't be an issue either. - Yes.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

Our investigation was geared towards corporate corruption,

and we were instructed to leave no stone unturned if suspicious.

Also, please make sure to return all the seized items as soon as possible.

If you drag this out, we can't continue being so accommodating.

Sure. We weren't trying to provoke.

We'll return everything within a few days.

Well...

A few days would be too long.

Pardon?

- Why? - What?

Do you need something from there within the next few days?

- What are those objects used for? - Oh, that...

We'll answer on your behalf, just stay quiet. Okay?

Isn't it standard for you to expedite the returning of items

that were confiscated from an innocent company?

All right. I'm sure they'll return it tomorrow.

I think we're done here. My goodness.

We'll return everything to you shortly, so don't worry.

Oh, man...

It's not easy trying to figure out the mind of a corporate chairman

that has blind faith in superstitions.

Look here.

Even if the police summon you again,

don't talk to them directly or even respond.

- Got that? - Okay.

- We'll take care of everything. - I understand, thank you!

I'll call...

IDENTIFICATION: CHEON JOO-BONG

Cheon Joo-bong, this is Lim Jin-hee.

I have your photo, your name in Chinese characters

and something that belongs to you.

If you don't come to the address below, I will perform a curse on you.

And if you contact your shamaness or Jin Jong-hyun,

you will die.

Do you really think he's going to come?

Yes.

If you're a reporter long enough...

you'll be able to read people's faces too.

I can tell that he's a coward.

Really?

But...

what does it feel like when you perform a curse?

Pardon?

I was just...

curious

about what it feels like to use such power.

I did tell you when we first met.

Enchanters mostly use two skills.

The first one involves gathering the wills of people with grudges.

If you gather some of their personal items or hair,

you can narrow down the specific target of the grudges.

But when you perform a curse,

it's crucial that you clearly target one specific victim.

That's why when you're establishing a target,

the target gets narrowed down and clearer

when more people are gathered.

And the second is the skill that I use.

The target's face, their name in Chinese characters

and something that belongs to them.

With those three things, I'm able to exactly figure out my target.

It's like...

I make some sort of connection with that person.

Then you curse that person.

Is it painful?

It's not...

just simply painful.

When you're trying to perform a curse while you're connected,

it almost seems like you're the only two people left in the world.

And you feel everything that person feels.

"This person...

isn't completely evil."

I sometimes feel that, and that is painful.

I sometimes feel like I'm having a short dream about that person.

It's a bit difficult to put into words.

And...

the ones that are cursed

come into contact with the enchanter, even if it is just for a moment.

Die.

And then you end up feeling their resentment.

Have you ever been cursed?

Once.

She ended up failing, but...

Who did that to you?

My mom tried to perform a curse on me when I was younger.

What?

My mom tried to perform a curse on me.

At that moment, my mom really did try to kill me.

But she ended up giving up.

I felt her emotion at that moment,

and she genuinely tried to put a curse on me.

Because I'm a cursed child.

He's here.

BAEK SO-JIN

Listen to me on that

and when I give you the signal, just flash the headlights.

Okay.

JIN-HEE

Cheon Joo-bong?

Yes, to tell you the truth, I just follow orders.

Please, spare me.

Listen to me carefully.

The enchanter

is over there right now.

As long as you just answer my questions,

I'll let you live. So try to answer well.

I don't know anything.

If you say that, I have no choice but to kill you.

No, please. No!

First question.

How did Chairman Jin Jong-hyun stop our curse?

Our shamaness...

imported a talisman to stop the curse.

It's called a tsukumogami and it's a large drum.

- Drum? - Yes.

It ripped after we used it once.

We paid 826,52 million won for it.

So you can't use that drum anymore?

No, you can't.

Then, the second question.

- You have a shamaness, right? - Yes.

I'm a nobody.

Our shamaness Jin Kyung does everything.

The shamaness's name is Jin Kyung?

No, it's not her real name.

What's her real name?

- Nobody knows her real name. - Nobody?

No, wait. I really don't know!

I heard that you two travel abroad sometimes.

How can you not know her real name?

It's all fake.

Our shamaness has a fake passport and a fake identity.

She steals the identities of homeless people and uses them.

I don't know her real name or her age...

I don't know anything.

I didn't know you were in servitude of such a great spirit!

I'm sorry for not recognizing it!

But I really... I really don't know!

Third question.

What are you people scheming?

- I don't want to answer. - What?

You're going to kill me once I answer!

You'll perform a curse on me

and throw me into the water. That's why you called me here!

I told you. I'll let you live as long as you answer my questions.

- I really have no idea. - Really? You don't?

Then I guess I have no other choice.

Details...

I don't know the exact details!

- Tell me what you know. - Okay.

Chairman Jin and our shamaness said

they were going to perform a big ritual on the day of Forest's IPO.

I've been gathering the sacred items

she needs for that day from overseas as instructed.

A ritual?

What's the goal of that ritual?

This isn't your average ritual.

She said she was having shamans from abroad come in for it.

But she didn't tell me anything else.

And even if she did,

I don't want to know.

Why don't you want to know?

Because I'm scared.

If such great spirits are involved,

it's best that I stay in the dark.

A ritual?

The day of the IPO...

Cheon Joo-bong.

From now on, you'll be my slave.

You'll follow my orders and report back every single little thing

Chairman Jin and the shamaness are up to every day.

If you leave anything out,

your limbs will be shredded and crushed into pieces.

Got that?

Yes.

Why are they trying to perform such a big ritual?

That's what we need to find out.

We need to find out what they're up to.

We have four days left.

What am I supposed to do now?

10 YEARS AGO

Ma'am, I'm sorry.

I did something...

to your son.

I passed on a demon to your son...

- You wench! - I've committed a grave sin.

The demon...

Let me perform a curse on it.

That's the only way for your son to live his life normally.

- Please. - Forget it!

Please, just let me

perform a curse on that demon...

JIN JONG-HYUN

Begone! Begone!

Begone, evil spirit! Begone!

Leave my Jong-hyun!

No! Leave!

Begone, evil spirit! Begone!

Begone! Begone!

I lived my whole life serving spirits.

Is it you? Jin Jong-hyun's shamaness?

Is she okay?

You're the shamaness who was there when my mom died.

I know your face.

It will all be over in two days.

I betrayed So-jin,

but she saved me.

So-jin died because of me.
