The Cursed (The Method / Bangbeob / 방법)

Hello. Did you see the CT scan?

Yes. There's nothing too serious to worry about.

She won't wake up.

There was no brain damage,

but as you know, it was a pretty severe injury.

If you look here, there was muscle damage...

and severe contusions.

We gave her a strong sedative.

Since we have the results,

we'll stop the sedative...

and wait for her to wake up on her own.

I see.

Excuse me.

Hey. - Captain.

I just got a call from Yeongdeungpo Precinct.

You need to come here quick.

Okay. Be right there. - Okay.

We'll call you as soon as she wakes up.

Thank you. Please take good care of her.

Sure.

Mr. Chairman, Ms. Jin has died.

She went to catch the performer...

and had a procedure done on her instead.

Sir?

Then...

will this cause a problem with our IPO?

I'll make sure it doesn't hurt the public offering...

in any way. And...

I don't think you need to worry.

I'll take care of everything else.

Okay.

One more thing.

About that girl So Jin.

Yes.

Yes. Yes, sir.

I have more work to do now that the shaman died.

Ms. Jin Kyung.

She did a lot for me.

Anyway,

I hope you go to a nice place.

Yes.

I'll tell him.

Master.

Forest asked you to perform a procedure on this girl.

I'm Detective Yoo Jung Hoon. Is Mr. Lee Hwan in?

What is this regarding?

I need to see him for a minute.

Do you have an appointment?

I came to talk to him for a minute.

You need an appointment.

I'll talk to him for one minute.

You need an appointment.

I just want to talk to him.

How did you get up here?

Did they let you in downstairs?

Yes, they did.

I should call the police.

I am the police.

How do you even know whether or not Mr. Lee is here?

How could I not know? He keeps peeking at me.

What?

What a surprise. You're back.

Mr. Lee Hwan.

I'm sorry. - It's okay.

Let him be. He's just doing his job.

What? My job?

Your job.

You received the incident report yesterday, didn't you?

What incident?

The CEO of Jinkyung Corporation, Forest's subsidiary,

Chun Joo Bong's kidnapping.

There was a kidnapping?

Who took him?

We're still investigating.

Is Mr. Chun okay?

He's in the hospital...

Chun Joo Bong is being treated, but he's still unconscious.

Mr. Lee Hwan.

I came in person given the urgent nature.

You'll need to go with me...

and answer a few questions.

We feel terrible about asking you to come again,

but this is an official request, so if you refuse...

I'll go.

Pardon?

I'm saying I'll cooperate.

If that happened to our subsidiary's CEO,

I should cooperate, shouldn't I?

Shall we?

This was in the bag of the deceased in the subway yesterday.

A body?

The line 2 train that left from Sindorim last night...

was packed with passengers,

but...

This corpse was found in there.

Her ID was in her bag, so we checked her identity,

and it says she's Kim Jin Sook, age 45.

Kim Jin Sook?

Yes. It's a fake ID.

We contacted Kim Jin Sook's family...

to identify the body,

but it wasn't her.

Kim Jin Sook left home eight years ago...

and has been unreachable.

From the looks of it,

she stole her identity and created a fake ID.

Is this a murder?

The medical examiner did an autopsy,

but the cause of death is unclear.

All we know is that she crumpled up her own body.

But it's kind of strange.

An enormous amount of anandamide was in the body.

Yes. That's right. That thing.

I think I did that...

to Mr. Kim Ju Hwan.

I think...

I had...

a procedure done on him.

Okay. We had a similar case.

We closed it as an accidental death, but...

You're investigating Forest, right?

Do you think this list is related?

We'll have to investigate.

Please share the case file with us.

Sure.

Make him a copy. - Yes, sir.

Okay.

Hello?

So Jin?

How's Jin Hee?

She's in the hospital.

She's okay.

Where are you? Are you okay?

Yes. Don't worry about me.

So Jin.

So Jin, where...

were you last night?

Why?

Were you...

No, never mind.

Anyway, you know Jin Hee and you are in great danger, right?

I'll find a safe place for you...

So... Hello? So...

Hi, So Jin. Have you heard of Mount Cheonbo?

I think Jin Jong Hyun moved there.

Mount Cheonbo?

Here it is. Mount Cheonbo.

I'm getting used to this room because I've been here so often.

Really? - Yes.

Here. You know what this is, right?

Yes. It's the Forest of Curses List as it says right here.

"List".

An unidentified woman died on the subway yesterday.

She had this on her.

You know the deceased, don't you?

I do not.

Look closely. I'm sure you do.

I looked closely, and I still don't know.

Let me ask again.

Why did you take Im Jin Hee and Chun Joo Bong?

Who hired you?

If you don't say anything now,

you'll take the fall for attempted murder.

Listen.

Refusing to speak won't solve anything.

There's nothing I can do if you keep this up.

A public defender...

is here to provide you with an opportunity to be represented.

Will you forfeit what little rights you have?

Hey!

I don't need you.

Just do as you want. You...

It's not like I would know why this unidentified woman...

had this list.

I also don't know why you detectives...

keep trying to tie our company to all these different cases.

I really don't get it.

Do you have some sort of evidence?

Is that why you're doing this to us?

Or are you trying to force it to go the way you want it to?

What are you doing?

We're doing this to find that evidence.

Why? Are you offended?

It's not a matter of my being offended.

Our company image is hurting...

because of your investigations.

That's why I'm saying this.

Our company is going public the day after tomorrow.

These are sensitive times,

but you're investigating us for something ridiculous.

That's why I'm saying this to you.

Think about it. What if this harms us?

What will you do then?

If you keep this up,

our legal department...

will have to file a complaint.

We'll claim damages.

Who will compensate us?

Can you people handle that with your tiny salaries?

What? - Don't give me "what".
