(9 years ago)
Is this the person you saw at Yongam Mountain last night?
Is it?
It said it saw the suspect, right?
This doesn't look like a person. It looks like a ghost to me.
Do you think my wife was hallucinating then?
Think about it. We're not in the Joseon Dynasty era.
This is a deserted area. If she saw a woman dressed like this...
That's why it'll be easier to find her.
He's not a shaman.
How do you expect us to find a ghost?
The hairs that were found...
on your daughter's face and this rock...
were proven to be yours.
And the bloodstain in your trunk...
was your daughter's.
Honey.
What's that?
What?
Your daughter wanted to live with her dad, and you couldn't take it?
You had everything you wanted all this time.
Your parents were wealthy,
so you could do everything you wanted.
You left your husband because you felt like it,
but your daughter didn't want to live with you,
so this was the first time things didn't work out your way.
What are you talking about?
That's why you decided to beat her.
Look.
The police were called because of that.
Yes.
I have hit her before.
I wanted to keep her,
so I have fought with her too. But...
But...
she would not listen, so you killed her.
You couldn't have her,
so you couldn't let others have her either.
So you hit her with a rock and killed her!
- No! - Why were you so cruel?
Were you scared that your daughter would see you?
Did you think you would feel less guilty if her face was crushed?
I saw that woman.
That woman said she saw the culprit!
She said that!
There's a witness!
Yes! A ghost saw the killer!
She's gone insane.
Min Seo...
Min Seo!
She broke out of jail to catch that ghost.
Then what is this?
("The Runaway Escapes to China Through Incheon Port")
She ran away to China.
The police gave up after asking the Chinese police for help.
She did that to get rid of us.
She broke out of jail to find her daughter's murderer.
Do you think she ran away to another country?
My goodness. Okay, fine.
Let's say she broke out of jail to catch the ghost.
But it was back in 2009 when she was imprisoned...
for killing her own daughter.
It's 2018 right now.
If she didn't do anything for the past nine years,
why did she suddenly want to catch the ghost again?
Because of a movie that we had shown her.
Stop!
- Stop right there! - Stop!
That ghost you saw.
Was that...
her?
If this actress was around the scene at that time,
there is a possibility that she met you.
They filmed the movie near Yongam Mountain.
But when this movie was first shot, you were in the detention center.
Their shoot began a month after you were imprisoned.
She couldn't trust herself until she saw that movie.
She thought she may have seen a hallucination.
But she woke up after she saw the movie.
And she probably thought...
that she wasn't insane.
That she definitely saw a ghost who saw the killer.
Where did you see him?
It was near a reservoir.
What about the kid?
Was she all right?
I don't know. I'm not sure.
I'm sorry.
Yes, I'm that ghost.
I wasn't exactly a ghost. I was playing a shaman.
A shaman with a lot of grudges.
That was the first and the last movie that I starred in.
It was a huge failure,
so it helped me retire against my will.
Have you ever met her?
She's the writer.
The writer?
Yes, she came by a month ago.
A month ago? Are you sure?
It could've been a little more.
She came by because of a fiction that she had been writing.
Then you should have reported her.
- Why? - She broke out of jail.
Don't you watch TV?
I don't.
Who is she?
She's a woman who was caught for killing her daughter.
It happened near Yongam Mountain nine years ago.
It was back when you were shooting this movie.
("Shaman")
Do you remember that case?
I think I remember something.
Then why did she come look for me?
Because she said she met you on the day of the incident.
She saw you when you were dressed like a ghost...
for this movie.
Back then, she claimed that you saw the killer.
Did you?
She said that I saw the killer?
Did you?
Of course, I didn't.
From what I remember, our first shooting was...
about a month after that case broke out.
What did she ask you when she came by?
Well, she talked about this and that, then left.
Do you recognize this?
It's the ghost in a mourning garment that she claims she saw.
I'm not sure.
It looks like my costume,
but I don't think this is me.
I'll call Seobu Police Station.
According to Seo So Jung, that crazy woman is still in Korea.
This is my case. I am going to catch her.
You've been suspended. What can you do all alone?
I first need to find out who this woman is.
- So Jung doesn't know either. - No.
So Jung knows who this is.
Yes.
They know what she saw on the day of the murder.
And tell the CEO that I'm always ready...
for a comeback.
You surprised me.
If you cooperate, I won't bother you.
Bother me? With what?
I'll go through your call history, find out who it is,
and trace after that.
And I'll tell everyone that you didn't cooperate...
on catching a runaway because you wanted a comeback.
I won't tell anyone else.
Who is this?
Who is it?
The original actress of "Shaman".
- The original? - An actress who did it before me.
And she was shooting a month ago on the day of the incident.
She was quite famous before.
Her name is Lee Jung Hee.
(Community Service Center, Police Station, Bank)
(Yoon Shin Ae, Yang Ye Rim, Heo Joo Young)
(Lee Jae Woong, Lee Jong Seo)
- Yes? - This is the detective agency.
I can't seem to find where Lee Jung Hee is.
I think we need the help of the police.
Forget it, then.
Thanks.
(Hong Yeon Joo, Yang Ye Rim, Oh Hee Kyung)
(Hong Yeon Joo, Bang Mi Young, Bang Kyung Soo)
Then who is Ms. Ma looking for?
Some actress or something.
There's an actress in our neighborhood?
- I guess so. - Can you look into this?
Come on.
I mean, she's a celebrity.
You'll get jailed for personal information leakage.
Personal information?
I already know that the membership information is a mess.
It's not a mess.
- I'm Bo Ram's mom. - Okay.
We're reorganizing the list of our members.
I will get it processed...
if you fill this out with your real name.
Can I do this later?
It's about time Bo Ram came home.
You can do that.
Bye.
You asked Ms. Hong to locate a celebrity?
To do some research.
For a novel?
How will you find someone...
in a mess like that?
Just in case.
Why are you here?
Why would I be here? I want to ask for a favor.
Did Woo Joon lose something again?
This time, it's Ms. Hong.
- What about her? - You should hear from her yourself.
Ms. Hong.
Ms. Hong. Ms. Hong?
Hey. Ms. Hong.
My goodness.
I wish she'd say if she's going out.
Is the library hers?
Why did she lock it up?
- Is she in trouble? - She lost her credit card.
That's why she went to the precinct.
She even reported that the thug took it.
- What thug? - You know.
The big guy who lives with his father.
Mal Goo.
Mal Goo. Mal Goo.
The money.
I'll give it to you. I will.
That psycho's quite strong.
You little...
Watch what you're doing.
Do something.
Go on. Run him over.
(Daesung Distribution)
I'll get out.
Mal Goo.
Mal Goo, Mal Goo.
No, Mr. Ko.
I'm struggling financially.
I'll pay you back tomorrow.
Okay?
(Tomorrow)
My car. What should I do?
I'll report that scum.
Stop it, woman.
Do you want to see me get locked up too?
Why, you troublemaker.
- Why are you always gambling? - Will you stop it?
Where are the boys?
- What boys? - You called your boys...
to help you deal with him.
I did call them.
He's a monster.
I'm Ko Mal Goo, and I get your debts paid back.
Credit card debts too.
It's not him.
Do you know who took it?
Kind of.
Really? Who is it?
I won't tell. It'll only cause trouble.
What kind of trouble?
Never mind. Tell her to get a new credit card.
Why don't we catch the thief?
Then Ms. Hong might do...
as you asked out of gratitude.
No way. She refused right away...
because it's personal information.
Personal information, my foot.
The alias and nickname that she's...
someone's mom is all untrue.
Stop making me beg and say yes.
Then shall we go and catch the thief?
Okay.
Where are we going?
To Ms. Hong's place, of course.
I really don't like her.
She's older than you and treats you with respect, so why?
She's older than me?
She was born in 1972, so she's a year older.
Come on. I was born in early 1973.
All my friends were born in 1972.
My goodness.
Your kid seems to be close to her dad.
She is.
They can't live without each other.
Tell me then.
If it's not Ko Mal Goo,
who is it?
Before I speak, I have a condition.
What is it?
- The movie star? - No.
Then what?
- Don't be angry. - That's the condition?
Okay then.
Who took it?
(Baekok Hospital Staff Outing)
Ms. Ma.
About your husband's mistress...
You didn't know.
What are you talking about?
The woman her husband's seeing.
What's wrong with you?
It's possible that she didn't know.
How dare you say that?
You said you wouldn't get angry.
Are you kidding me?
Yes, Ms. Ma.
We're here to catch a thief, so stop talking nonsense.
Get out.
Sorry. Mi Young will be home soon.
I need you to leave.
Does she come home on time?
Yes.
The dad she loves is having an affair,
so she's acting out.
She's acting out?
Then the thief...
Yes.
Your daughter took your credit card.
(Bang Mi Young)
Were you drinking?
What do you care?
Hurry up, Mi Young.
Don't blame the innocent, and cancel the police report.
No.
Mi Young's a really good girl.
It's not her.
The switch was flipped.
The switch?
The switch of desires.
Desires? This is unbelievable.
She lives in the school library.
Wearing makeup and drinking are her desires?
That's nonsense.
Mi Young didn't steal it. She's my daughter. I know her best.
- Ms. Hong. - What?
See her as a human being, not your daughter.
A human being...
who'll do anything to fulfill her desires.
Ms. Hong. Come on, calm down.
Don't worry.
She'll ask to see us tomorrow.
Ms. Ma.
"I think Mi Young took your credit card."
"Ask her when she's home." You could've said that.
Why did you get into her private life?
There's a cause that leads to a result.
My gosh. I played along with your antics,
and you talk back to me as if you're all that.
You should watch yourself if you want to live here.
You won't last long here unless you get the rules.
Do you think the people here...
don't cheat at all?
Know when to stop.
Hey, Ko Mal Goo.
An incident got reported, so you have to come with us.
What a commie.
Officer Bae, ask for backup.
Tell everybody to come.
Gosh.
In my early days,
I fought against 100 thugs in Gangnam.
Do you know who forced Jang Il Goo, the leader of Il Goo Squad,
to retire?
Me. It's me, Jo Chang Gil.
When I...
jumped up into the sky, I didn't get back down...
until five of their boys collapsed.
So answer what I ask you.
Did you see Ms. Hong in the library yesterday?
What did you do when she left?
Are you staying silent? Look at this punk.
What did you do?
Did you take her credit card or not?
Answer me!
Sit back down! Sit down!
Where's the bathroom?
You'll be arrested as soon as I find evidence. All right?
Keep this in mind!
This town has me.
Don't be upset.
I know it's you!
(Episode 4)
(Ko Mal Goo)
A thug will end up in jail.
(Ma Ji Won)
I want food.
Did you take the carrots out?
What about work?
I'm going.
Can't you hand it over to Dad and stay with me?
Okay, I'll do that.
Lies.
What are you doing?
- Praying. - For what?
I'm praying so that I don't wake up.
Why?
Because I know this is a dream.
You do?
Yes.
I'm dead, aren't I?
When I died, did you cry a lot?
Who killed me?
Mom.
Min Seo.
Can you call me again?
Please, Min Seo.
Please call me, "Mom" once more.
Please.
Min Seo.
I heard it was a chaos last night.
Why?
Well... That Ms. Ma...
spread rumors about how Ms. Hong's husband cheated on her,
so Ms. Hong and her husband had a war last night.
Oh, dear. She's a filthy woman.
How dare she be nosy about somebody else's family?
I know, right?
She just moved in too.
I'm going to have a talk with her. I can't let this go.
What does she think of our village?
This is partially your fault too.
If someone who just moved in did something like that,
you should have stopped her.
Goodness, it sounds as if I put her up to it.
You're the one who took her to Ms. Hong's place.
- That's because... - Ms. Park?
Hey, you're here.
What's going on?
- Nothing. - Excuse me.
Are you Ms. Ma?
- Pardon? - Let me tell you something...
as the president of the library.
Don't you think you are making too much of a scene?
What do you mean?
- I wasn't going to say this but... - Don't, then.
There is a difference every month between the actual book prices...
and the invoice of the library.
I wonder who took the difference.
Well, I...
I wasn't going to say that either.
Does she think she's a judge because her son is one?
She's only a year older than me,
but she always finds a way...
to teach me a lesson whenever I make the smallest mistake.
They say jealousy has no holidays.
What's to be jealous about?
The entire neighborhood envies her...
because her son became a judge.
You had Woo Joon later in your life.
Of course, she's jealous that you had him when you were older.
"Her husband must still love her a lot with passion."
- She probably thought that. - My gosh.
You know a lot for a single woman.
That's how human beings are.
They get jealous of people who have more than they do...
or are better off than them.
What did you tell Ms. Oh?
What did you tell her that she went pale?
It's nothing.
I'm going to go see Ms. Hong.
I don't want to.
She had a huge fight with her husband because of us.
She won't even open the door for us.
Don't worry about that. She's probably waiting for us.
Waiting for us? Why?
She's curious about something.
What's with your face?
Did you find the card?
Was it really Mi Young?
My goodness.
Then is he having...
But he completely denies it.
You know who that brat is, don't you?
Who is she?
I have a favor to ask you.
Okay. I won't get angry.
You have to get angry.
We're about to go see your husband's mistress.
What on earth did she say that you backed out...
like a mouse in front of a cat?
Stop talking nonsense.
You need to focus on accounting.
I have to give her a good lesson one of these days.
Ms. Oh, while we're on the topic...
Take a look at this.
Doesn't she look like that Ms. Ma?
("The Runaway Escapes to China Through Incheon Port")
Wait.
This is her.
(Baekok Hospital)
Now, do you all remember what you're in charge of?
How did you say you were going to recognize her husband's mistress?
The first person that Ms. Ma talks to.
Yes, right. The first person you talk to.
Welcome.
Ms. Park.
You're here. Isn't it hot out?
I've been waiting for you.
You're here.
Isn't it hot?
I'm interested in skincare.
Skincare?
Ms. Cha is more of an expert than Ms. Min.
- Ms. Cha. - No.
I want her to do it.
Go ahead.
Why? Is there a problem?
No.
What are you doing? Show her the way.
This way, please.
My goodness.
- Ms. Park. - My gosh.
What happened?
What do you think?
Look.
How did you know she was the one?
The pictures at Ms. Hong's place.
They're all looking at the front,
but she was looking at your husband.
That's not enough evidence.
I need positive proof...
to teach him some manners.
Hard proof is...
probably in this phone.
(My Dear)
(Why are you so pretty, my dear?)
This jerk.
(You said you loved this place.)
My goodness. I can't believe this.
My gosh. How could he do this?
My goodness.
(Dear)
"Dear"?
Dear, my foot.
Where are you, honey?
Where are you?
What do you think?
Are you the one who took my baby sister's phone?
Hang up.
Goodness, what am I going to do...
with these three thieves?
Can you give me money to fix my car... I mean, my wife's car?
(We can help get your money back.)
Thanks.
If it wasn't for you, we would have gone bankrupt.
You should get paid for what you've done.
I need 30 percent of that.
Can you cut me some slack?
I need to pay my employees too.
That was like taking a candy from a kid.
Darn you, jerk!
My gosh, don't touch me.
Who on earth are you?
Me?
I am her biological brother.
And of course, this is a jerk...
who molested my baby sister biologically.
I'm going to call the police.
Sure, go ahead.
But if three people stole this together,
it is considered as special larceny.
When a crime is special, it is a very serious deal.
We did this because she made us do it.
All right, then. There are three in this special larceny.
And I'll take two big ones for him.
Five big ones.
- So 5,000 dollars? - Are you kidding me?
Are you? If I put this up on the internet,
your hospital will have to close down.
- Then what? - I want 50,000 dollars.
That's easy money for you people.
Goodness, 50,000 is a lot.
If you don't want to pay, call the police!
Excuse me. The police...
I mean, thank you.
Please call the police.
Help us.
- Help us. - Sir.
Don't turn your back on someone from your hometown.
How did you know that's where he's from?
Now, I know for sure.
Kill him.
Do you have an address?
That'll take a bit longer.
They aren't even sure Lee Jung Hee lives in Rainbow Village.
Okay. I'll check and get back to you.
(Rainbow Village Community Center)
We'd have been in a huge trouble if it hadn't been for you.
Thank you.
I'll give you a call later. Come to the library.
You're looking for someone.
"But let justice roll on like a river,"
"righteousness like a never-failing stream."
Ms. Hong.
Were you ever unjustly accused?
What are you talking about?
Mr. Ko.
You deserve an apology.
You had a hard time at the precinct because of Ms. Hong.
Wasn't a thank you enough?
What's the big deal?
Let it go.
You asked me for a favor.
You can forget about that,
so apologize.
You heard me. Apologize.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
No, it's not okay.
Ms. Hong. You reported him for doing something he didn't do.
He was unjustly dragged to the precinct...
and was insulted in front of a crowd.
He suffered all that because of you,
and you toss him a meaningless "I'm sorry".
Is that it?
He didn't commit a crime,
and he could've been branded a criminal and mocked forever.
"I'm sorry."
Is that enough?
It's not.
So... I'm very sorry.
I was told that you were a thug.
So I assumed that you took my credit card.
I wouldn't have if I'd been more careful.
I got you dragged to the precinct.
I'm very sorry about that.
Ms. Ma.
Thank you.
You helped clear my name.
And I even got one of the ladies to apologize to me.
Don't thank me.
I don't like thugs either.
It's not like I don't know what you people do.
- Then why did you... - I wonder why.
Why did I help?
I can't give out addresses to just anyone.
I have important business with Lee Jung Hee.
Personal information is important too.
Don't you know that?
Wait.
Do you know where the local library is?
Ask someone inside.
I asked you because the civil servants were so impolite.
My gosh.
What do you want?
I'm sorry.
She's here.
You found Lee Jung Hee?
- Not Lee Jung Hee. - The crazy woman?
Okay, I'll come over. It'll take two hours or so. Bye.
He found her?
(To Express Bus Terminal)
(To Ma Ji Won)
You murdered your daughter.
I'm not.
You're looking for someone?
Don't you put up faces of wanted people?
Oh, those? Our chief said they're an eyesore.
- Where are they? - What?
The wanted posters.
Hello, sir.
(Wanted)
(Murder, runaway)
She's not in.
Did she move here recently?
She's a writer.
Do you know where she could be?
Where she could be?
The library.
Yes. Our neighborhood...
might be full of horrible people,
but this is wrong.
Starting with Woo Joon, thanks to Ms. Ma,
you know yourself that justice was served many times.
You found your credit card and the mistress.
Right?
Will you stop talking about that?
Treat Ms. Ma with some respect from now on.
She's a year older than you are.
Hey. Which month were you born in?
I was born in February of 1973, year of the rat.
Are you done yet?
No. Just a moment.
(ID: Admin)
The name is...
- It's Lee Jung Hee. - Lee Jung Hee?
Oh, dear. I'm a fan of hers.
Does she actually live in our village?
- I can't look her up. - No?
Can you look up Lee Mi Soon instead?
Lee Mi Soon?
That was her childhood nickname.
This way.
Okay.
Goodness, Officer Bae. Why didn't you pick up?
Did you call me?
You punk.
Who's that?
He's a detective from Daejeon.
A detective?
Excuse me. Talk to me.
Are you here because of that woman?
Yes.
Let's keep this straight.
I'll be the one interviewing her.
- All right? - Sure.
I'm hanging up.
Excuse me.
She's in the operations room.
- The operations room? - Yes.
Oh, dear.
- Don't move! - Oh, my goodness!
What are you doing?
Well, ma'am.
Where is this woman?
Can you put that gun away first?
- Oh, dear. - Goodness.
Where is she?
Who are you?
Are you looking for somebody?
I'm looking for Lee Jung Hee, a formal actress.
Stop!
What's going on?
Are you here to find Lee Jung Hee?
- I am. - You may trick others,
but not me.
I don't know what you're trying to say.
I think I was mistaken, Ms. Park.
She's not Lee Jung Hee.
Okay...
This is Detective Cheon from Daejeon's violent crimes unit.
You have glasses on. You know me, right?
How would I know you?
Don't try to play tricks with me.
I only make the same mistake once.
Here. Don't move...
and give me your hands.
- Miss! - Auntie.
Why won't you pick up?
The publisher keeps calling me.
Didn't you miss me?
(Ms Ma: Goddess of Revenge)
It can be confirmed as soon as I have her fingerprints.
You look pale today.
Be careful. When doppelgangers meet,
one always dies.
A murder incident here?
Why did you go there?
This is what you call retributive justice.
It's a downright lie!
There's no smoke without a fire.
You can't do that to him.
Should I call Tae Gyu?
Shut it, punk!
Do you know who this man is?
The thug?
You can't go inside, so say what you want to say here.
You killed a woman?
Why did my mom do that?
Will you be okay?
Why? I think a hardworking cop is sexy.
Auntie.
Eun Ji. Eun Ji!
