The Cursed (The Method / Bangbeob / 방법)

We've aged the beef for five days.

Which part would you like?

Ma'am?

I don't know these things. Why don't you decide, madam?

I like my meat evenly marbled and tender.

Then we'll prepare the sirloin.

Just a minute. - Yes?

Actually,

I'll take the one on the left.

I don't know much about meat,

but I think this part would be better...

for our chief physician today.

Okay. - Yes, ma'am.

You're so thoughtful of him in every way.

Of course. He was my client.

When he was promoted...

to chief of his department, we wanted to treat you to dinner.

Things finally settled down, which is why we invited you out.

All of this is thanks to you.

He was promoted because he is so good at his job.

I didn't do anything.

He kept resisting,

but I gave him the talisman that you wrote for him,

and wouldn't let him eat four-legged animals...

until the announcement as you instructed.

I had to do everything for him.

I felt like I was raising a toddler.

Right?

Yes, that's right.

Looking carefully at your face,

you're fated to become the hospital director.

Really?

Anyway, thank you.

Please keep giving us your good advice.

Darn it.

Who keeps texting? - Nobody.

We got a strange patient.

The symptoms are weird and we can't identify the cause.

Who is the patient?

Seeing you bothered by it is making me curious.

Sir?

Okay.

How is it?

It's good. Perfect.

He's the owner of a small business.

He suddenly had a seizure and fainted during a meeting,

and he's screaming and freaking out even now.

But we don't even know the cause.

We've never seen these symptoms before either.

Darn it. What a headache.

Maybe he's possessed.

Excuse me? Possessed?

There are things that can't be explained scientifically.

Why don't you examine him?

Pardon? - He's your client.

You should take care of him well until the very end.

Well...

Let go!

He won't even sleep.

He has been like that for two days. He should be dehydrated by now.

What if he dies like that?

What if they sue the hospital... - The hospital...

can't cure him.

What?

He's possessed by an unusual evil spirit.

Chief.

I'll perform a ritual.

Here?

I'll duke it out tonight.

Please give me until morning.

If he can't handle it because of the evil spirit,

it'll be a headache for you.

You should become the hospital director.

Well...

What would the ritual cost?

I'll collect it from him.

Just look the other way.

Chae Bong?

Please prepare a ritual.

You idiot! You'll ruin everything!

Ma'am! Are you all right?

First...

untie him.

Yes, ma'am.

Who are you?

Let us bow to you first.

I must have been working hard...

all my life just to meet you, sir.

I never expected to serve such a great spirit.

What...

happened to me?

Someone tried to perform a procedure on you, sir.

A procedure?

A procedure...

So, the person was cursing you,

but something went wrong.

That's why the spirit inside of you became very angry.

But...

I've calmed it down.

Who did that do me?

Why?

Do you...

know any shamans?

Shaman?

I don't know what that shaman stopped the procedure,

but they may try...

to perform a procedure again if they change their mind.

Then?

What must I do?

Please write down your name in Chinese characters...

and the date and time of your birth.

I was right.

You came to change the world.

But...

someone is an obstacle in your path.

If we don't get rid of that person now,

your grand plan may fail.

If we get rid of that person now,

your final moment in life...

Yes?

Countless people will gather...

and celebrate your life at your funeral.

We must...

eliminate that shaman right now.

I shall...

escort you on your spiritual journey.

You don't have to go with me.

No. I want to see it for myself.

It's fun.

You should wait here.

Clean that up quickly.

Let's go, So Jin.

We need to get his personal item.

Okay.

We'll begin the briefing.

This is where Kim Pil Sung states he was abducted.

He jotted down the details of his release...

in this notepad.

We backtracked based on his notes,

and concluded that his notes were very credible.

This is the van that we suspect they used to abduct him.

It is the same van that was used in the abduction of Chun Joo Bong...

and Im Jin Hee recently.

Thus, we speculate the same person ordered the abduction...

of both Im Jin Hee and Kim Pil Sung.

We checked the surveillance videos at the place...

where Kim Pil Sung stated he was threatened,

and it had caught Lee Hwan entering that very building.

That is all.

We've got that jerk.

That's irrefutable evidence.

What's the problem?

It's the motive.

The reason why they abducted Im Jin Hee and Kim Pil Sung.

And if they were behind the abduction and murder...

of Detective Yang Jin Soo,

we can't figure out the motive.

With solid evidence like that,

we can lock them up even without a motive.

The prosecutors won't be able to weasel out of it.

I think it'll be critical...

to prove that Forest's chairman Jin Jong Hyun...

was directly involved in hiring these men...

for both of the abductions.

Are you saying there's no reasonable motive for Forest...

to abduct them?

That's right.

Based on what Forest's former employee said,

which Detective Yang Jin Soo had recorded,

it looks like they were trying to hide the fact...

that they were manipulating the Forest of Curses hashtag.

We at Cybercrimes should be able...

to go after Forest...

for inciting cyber defamation.

If you do,

how much would it hurt them?

Worst-case scenario, their IPO may be canceled.

Isn't that enough of a motive...

for Forest's involvement?

It's obvious that Lee Hwan was instructed from higher up...

to take the fall all by himself.

We arrested him and have him in our custody, right?

Yes, sir. We'll begin interrogating him this afternoon.

Okay. Work him nicely and get him to tell us...

the connection to Forest for a commutation.

Yes, sir.

Dismissed.

Yes, sir! - Yes, sir!

This is where Jin Jong Hyun's mother lives...

according to his family registry.

Okay.

I've been here before.

You have?

Anyway,

she has his personal items here, right?

I hope so.

Ma'am.

Hello, ma'am.

Who are you?

Hello. I'm a reporter with Joongjin Daily.
