The Cursed (The Method / Bangbeob / 방법)

It's been a while.

You got a nicer table.

Mr. Kim Pil Sung.

Do you see the person who abducted you...

in here?

Yes.

Let's see.

Yes.

This man.

Him as well.

And him.

Mr. Kim Pil Sung.

How sure are you that it was them?

Are you very sure?

Or it looks like them?

I'm 100 percent sure.

You can think it over before you answer.

Look at these faces. Are these faces...

something you could be confused with?

Plus,

I have a killer memory.

I used to be a detective too, people.

Sure, I'm a PI now...

and follow around cheating spouses, but...

Look.

I consider myself...

a private eye who abides by my philosophy.

Big City Private Eye.

A PI who abides by his philosophy...

ratted out Im Jin Hee's name very quickly.

That was because...

Who was it?

She's a reporter at Joongjin Daily. Im Jin Hee.

She hired me.

Joongjin Daily?

Im Jin Hee at Joongjin Daily.

Yes. Happy now?

I told you, so untie me. Let me go home.

I already told you, so untie me.

Joongjin Daily. Im Jin Hee.

Yes.

Should we kill him now?

Kill him? Again?

Killing people isn't a game.

It'll be better to kill him.

I don't know how you did things with Ms. Jin Kyung.

Hold it. I'm still talking to you.

If you kill everyone like that,

we're all dead. All of us.

It's better to kill him now than to have problems later.

Are you a murderer?

Are you a psychopath?

Will you kill everyone?

I'm sorry.

I... I thought it was nothing serious.

It was just a lighter. A lighter. That's nothing.

I didn't know. I just did as I was told.

Okay, okay.

I'll let you go home as promised. But in return,

you can't go around blabbing, okay?

Keep your mouth shut and forget everything that happened, okay?

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir. I'm sorry, sir.

I'm sorry, sir.

You promised. - Let's just kill him.

Quiet! Quiet...

I didn't come here to listen to this.

Gosh.

I almost left him out.

Forest's Lee Hwan. Him.

He's the head.

He ordered them to do it.

He said so himself.

Thank you for having the courage to come forward.

But we need something more solid...

if we want to lock them up.

Something solid?

Like a convincing motive.

Things like that.

A convincing motive.

That's a bit hard.

This is what happened.

At first Im Jin Hee...

from Joongjin Daily hired me...

to get her Chairman Jin Jong Hyun's personal item.

Call me as soon as you hear from that driver.

It's a bit urgent.

I paid Jin Jong Hyun's driver...

to get his lighter.

You're not scamming me, are you?

That's all. And I brought it to her.

You spent way too much money for a 40-cent lighter.

But...

These jerks took me, and...

Who made you hire Myung Joon?

Isn't it odd?

I was abducted just because I stole a lighter.

So, I thought a lot about this before coming here.

What if by coming here,

I end up getting them angry at me? Furthermore,

what if I trust the cops and report them,

and they... You know. I'm not saying...

I don't trust the cops, so don't get the wrong idea.

If I'm going to give a statement, I need to do it right.

That's why we're being very cautious as well.

That's right. You have to be cautious,

my junior detectives. You want something solid.

I'll show you something solid.

Ta da.

Ta da.

What is this?

When I was abducted,

I was passed out, so I couldn't check.

But I was alert when I was released.

So from the moment I left the strange warehouse,

got into their car,

and back to my own car, I noted...

everything I could. Then I wrote it all down.

Take a look. There are some key points to note.

Accelerated. 25km per hour.

Feels like asphalt.

We went straight for 2 minutes and 30 seconds. 13, 14, 15.

Speed bump. Something about a bar. Twice.

Speed bump. A second one after five seconds.

Talk about cell phones.

Punks...

Accelerated at 50km per hour.

Speed bump. Talk about cell phones.

Speed bump. A second one after five seconds.

Something about a bar.

So that's why...

your mom tried to kill me...

and then stopped.

That's why...

What are you talking about?

She must have hated herself...

and that evil spirit so much...

after she sent it into her own child's body.

But...

But you're getting revenge...

for that very mom.

Take a good look...

at the important points.

Is there...

a killer cell phone nowadays? Any of the new ones?

Kill who again?

No, no. Not kill people.

Are any of the new cell phones good?

You used to work at a cell phone store like that.

Don't you know things like that? - I did?

Wasn't it you?

Who was it?

He died. Did we kill him?

Let me say that again.

I recorded everything there...

from the location where they interrogated me.

If you use that to find it...

Their car should've been caught on surveillance cameras.

That's right. If you backtrack using that...

We can find the place where you were taken to.

That's right. - Then those cameras...

Then those cameras would have caught...

this guy Lee Hwan's face.

What's more solid than this?

That's only possible...

if these notes...

No, if your memory was 100 percent correct.

100 percent. It's correct.

If we find something meaningful,

I'll acknowledge that.

Hey, freeze. Hey.

How long have they been cops...

Hey.

Let's grab dinner sometime.

Let's go for a get-together with that guy.

No thanks. I'll copy this and bring it back.

Darn it. Oh my gosh.

Mr. Kim Pil Sung?

Yes.

He gave his statement, so we sent him home.

He asked me to apologize to you.

His attitude makes him hard to trust.

Yes, but I think he's thorough with his work,

so confirm what he said.

I plan to check tomorrow myself.

But even if we do find the place where they took him,

we need Lee Hwan on camera.

Jin Hee.

Why did you ask him...

to get you Jin Jong Hyun's personal item?

I already told you.

It was to do a procedure on him.

Do you actually believe in that?

Believe it or not,

but I told you the truth.

And this case can't be solved through normal means.

Jin Hee.

You and So Jin...

should stay out of this going forward.

Trust us and leave it to us.
