(Previously on Ms Ma: Goddess of Revenge)
Who are you?
That's right.
I'm Lee Jung Hee, or Lee Mi Soon. The one you're looking for.
The murder occurred on the first day of shooting for "Shaman".
Perhaps, Jung Hee...
witnessed the murder that day.
I was there when Jung Hee filmed the movie nine years ago.
Who are you?
Why did you invite such a person?
Due to the excessive amount of sedative,
she has passed away.
Who is it that doesn't want Jung Hee to show up?
Jung Hee witnessed the murderer who killed your daughter.
That child's name was Ye Ji.
(National Cemetery)
Why do I have to have a reason...
for thinking Ms. Ma is Ms. Ma?
Is it because you feel guilty?
Why would I feel guilty?
Is it because the culprit whom you witnessed wasn't her?
Is that why you're protecting her?
(The burner phone's location on the day of the Jang Min Seo murder case)
(The fourth call took place in the National Cemetery.)
(Yongam Reservoir)
(Episode 17)
11:35pm.
That's the earliest you can get here from the National Cemetery.
What?
The average weight of a 10-year-old girl is 30kg.
That's Min Seo.
I'm checking how long it takes to the site.
What...
What site?
Sir.
12:05.
I found that woman here at midnight.
How could she get here faster than I did?
Maybe she took another route.
The one we took was the fastest.
I mean...
What is it that you want to say?
Maybe that woman...
came here alone.
Are you saying Min Seo flew here or something then?
Sir?
Hey.
Let's check one more time on our way down.
Again?
We can't leave these bags of rice here.
What are they doing?
Leave them be.
It's none of our business...
whether they have the strength to waste like that or not.
My back is killing me.
What time is it?
It's 12:10.
Maybe she was alive when she came here.
They could've climbed up with their hands held together.
We found components of sleeping pills from her body.
That's impossible.
It leads to one conclusion then.
She's a crazy witch, right?
She must've gotten so strong all of a sudden.
It doesn't make sense...
that the woman in her heels came faster than us.
Then how will you explain the evidence found in her car?
Min Seo's fingerprint and bloodstain were there in the car found here.
You even found that crazy witch's fingerprints on the wheel.
Thank you.
I'm here in this neighborhood after such a long time...
all thanks to you, sir.
You've worked in this neighborhood before?
I was a conscripted policeman here.
While you were working to arrest that woman,
we had a serious headache because of a voice phishing fraud.
- Voice phishing? - Yes.
That culprit withdrew all the cash...
from ATMs in convenience stores and banks in this neighborhood.
He even had a mask and a hat on, so it was hard for us to arrest him.
But it turned out he was a 20-year-old young boy.
It was ridiculous.
Did you find anything on Lee Jung Hee?
Oh, that?
Things have been strange there lately.
Their assistant director got poisoned to death yesterday.
A skilled shaman I know...
put spiritual power into these bracelets.
Right, right. Seriously.
People have been dying these days.
I thought wearing this would make us feel a little at ease,
so I followed Ms. Yang and bought these.
Do you see the small letters on each bead?
We made a special order on this.
"Extermination of evil spirits."
It means it'll get rid of the ghosts that kill people.
What are you waiting for?
- Here. - You should wear this too.
Me?
We have to put it on her arm for her to actually do it.
Someone's trying to harm our Jung Hee.
I'm giving this to you in hopes for that person to get caught soon,
so put it on.
I don't want Jung Hee to get hurt either.
There's something I must hear from her.
I'm going to try my best even without this, so...
Why? Is it because you have to interview her?
That's one reason.
I get it, but just wear it.
It wouldn't hurt to wear things like this together.
Besides,
you said you didn't want to turn your back on us anymore.
Darn it.
(Rainbow Precinct Station)
What did you just say?
Park Myung Hee knew who put sedative...
in Jung Hee's glass?
Yes.
And you still couldn't figure out who it was?
Even when the witness was right in front of you?
I told you...
to call me the minute you find any clues.
Someone knew who the culprit was!
What on earth were you doing?
Do you not know my number?
I do.
Then you should've called me!
Darn it!
Do you only use your fingers for knitting?
You don't even need to turn a dial now!
All you need to do is tap the screen!
- Chief Jo. - What?
- Can I have some water? - What?
Get me some water.
Ms. Ma! What are you...
You don't want to?
Please calm yourself down.
This won't help us solve this matter.
What on earth did I do to deserve this?
All I want to do is become a town councilor...
and end my life peacefully.
Why does every rope I grab...
turn out to be a rotten one?
I don't understand what you're saying.
Choi Man Sik!
I trusted him completely, but he went to pot.
I got a famous movie director this time, but he's doomed too.
You mean Director Sung?
No. It can't be.
Director Sung wouldn't have killed someone.
- Right? - What are you talking about?
He's the last person...
Park Myung Hee called before she died.
That doesn't mean that Director Sung killed her.
Right?
(Analysis of the evidence)
We found KCN in her asthma inhaler...
which is potassium cyanide.
She was poisoned to death.
You got a call from Park Myung Hee...
yesterday around 11am.
- Is that right? - Yes.
Do you remember what she said to you?
Hi, Director Park.
Why are you doing this to me?
- What are you talking about? - Director Sung.
You can't do this to me.
Director Park.
Myung Hee. What's going on?
She said some things,
but I couldn't understand what she was saying.
- Not at all? - No.
Did you really not understand anything she said?
Besides, there's someone who saw...
Director Sung going into the room that Myung Hee was in.
- Who is that? - Chae Joong Chul.
The guy who did illegal filming.
Is that even important?
That's for us to decide. Are you sure it was him?
Yes. It was about 10 minutes before Director Park went into that room.
I clearly saw Director Sung going in there.
Weren't you at Writer Jung's studio yesterday?
For the profile shoot.
They told me that...
it had been postponed to tomorrow, so I left.
(President's Office)
Apparently, you stopped by the conference room...
before Park Myung Hee died.
I wanted to ask her some things about the set.
Why didn't you call her instead?
I was near the conference room, so I just went in.
She said the set had been moved to Gi Baek's office,
so I came back here.
Do you know what this is, by any chance?
Myung Hee's bag.
What about this?
You know what it is, right?
This is where we found the poison.
It's what the culprit used to kill her.
What are you trying to say?
You were at the place where we found the killing tool.
- By yourself. - You're suspecting me?
Director Sung, please calm down.
How do you expect me to calm down?
I worked with Myung Hee for over 10 years.
Why would I do that?
I see.
I think this is enough for today.
I will contact you again soon,
Director Sung Jae Deok.
Jae Deok. Why did you lie?
Do you think I'm a fool?
Even I heard what Myung Hee said to you over the phone.
She was crying,
and she said, "You can't do this to me."
Are you the one who killed her?
Are you crazy?
Why would I kill her?
If you didn't, why would she say those things?
Director Sung is not the person who killed Myung Hee.
That's what I'm hoping for.
Listen.
Myung Hee lied that she saw Ahn Seong Tae at the set.
Does Director Sung know about that?
That's a lie?
Anyway, does he know about it too?
I told him about it.
What about the fact that she threatened Ahn Seong Tae?
I told him about that too.
He asked me to let him know how the investigation is going.
That means he's aware that people will think...
Ahn Seong Tae is the one who killed her.
How is that important right now?
Think about it.
Director Sung didn't put the poison in the glass.
In other words, he's not the culprit.
There's no reason for him to kill Myung Hee, the witness.
- That's right. - On the other hand,
let's say he did put the poison in the glass.
But Myung Hee told people that it was...
Ahn Seong Tae who did it, not Director Sung.
All the more reason not to kill her.
You're right.
But why did she call Director Sung before she died?
To say farewell to him?
Maybe.
Myung Hee was in love with Director Sung.
What are you talking about now?
Perhaps, she misunderstood that it was Director Sung...
who poisoned her.
She would've been resentful.
She lied for the man she loved...
and even threatened someone.
She lied...
for the man she loved?
What is it?
Are your instincts telling you something again?
Myung Hee said she lied for the person...
that she wanted to protect.
Director Sung may be lying as well...
for the person he wants to protect.
What on earth are you talking about?
My gosh.
("The Irreversible Promise")
Please return it by next Monday.
Myung Hee knew who the culprit was, but she lied that...
it was Ahn Seong Tae?
That's what Director Sung wanted.
That means Director Sung is the culprit.
He wanted someone to be framed.
It doesn't make sense that he tried to kill Jung Hee.
A wife killed by her husband.
We've seen it already.
Director Sung sincerely loves his wife.
Although his two marriages can't prove that.
He chose Jung Hee as the heroine of his film...
because he wanted to help her make a successful comeback.
He even came to me...
and threatened me to protect her.
He wouldn't have put sedatives in her glass...
and put poison in her coffee.
If he's not the culprit,
why would he want someone to be falsely accused?
It's because he knows who the culprit is.
Then he should report it. His wife is in danger.
He knew who the culprit is,
but he couldn't report it.
What are you talking about?
He had to lie...
to protect the person he loves.
The person he loves?
There is only one person...
that he would do that for.
- Where's Jung Hee? - She's inside.
Okay.
What are you saying?
Are you doubting me for Myung Hee's death?
Can you please stop lying to me?
I understand that you're hurting because of what happened to her.
It's only natural.
I'm sure there was more to your relationship than just business...
seeing that you've worked together for over 10 years.
Did you really think I didn't know...
that Myung Hee liked you?
- Honey. - I personally think...
karma is what killed her.
(Wire 100,000 dollars to the bank account below.)
(If you don't, the whole world will find out about what you did.)
Myung Hee sent you that?
Who else would it be?
You even heard her make those threat calls.
She said someone among us...
is a murderer, not her.
Honey.
It took me almost 10 years to get this far.
And you of all people...
know how difficult my life was during that time.
It's all over now, so don't worry.
There's no one...
that can bother us anymore.
Let's leave.
Let's forget about everything...
and go somewhere far away.
Then what about the movie?
I care more about you than any kind of movie there is.
Then that's more of a reason why you shouldn't give up.
Acting is the only thing that makes me become who I truly am.
I don't want to see you get hurt.
Jae Deok.
I'm scared.
I'm so scared that something bad might happen to you.
You can protect me.
You'll do that, right?
Please, Jae Deok.
Please promise me that you'll protect me.
Jae Deok.
Okay, I'll protect you.
I'll make sure nobody in this world can harm you.
I'll protect you...
no matter what it takes.
I have a favor to ask, Mal Goo.
Please keep a close eye on Jung Hee.
Okay.
What I mean is...
that I want you to make sure...
that she doesn't do anything else.
Okay?
Have you heard any news about Sun Doo?
Are you talking about your son?
Has he never called?
Did he ever call to ask for money or...
No, sir.
- Are you sure? - Yes.
About that writer...
Do you mean Ms. Ma?
Yes.
I'd like to meet her.
Okay, sir.
"It's okay. It's okay."
"Have you ever consoled someone?"
Potassium cyanide in an inhaler.
It must've been pretty painful.
But it wouldn't have lasted for very long.
She made a call right before she died?
(Death due to poison: Potassium cyanide)
She called Director Sung.
What was the call about?
I'm not sure about that.
He's a prime suspect of this case.
But it's hard to investigate him since he's a big shot.
Are there any other suspects?
They're still searching.
But I don't think they found anyone yet.
I want you to check her acquaintances' criminal records.
I'm talking about all the staff working on the movie.
We're not in charge of this case, so why bother?
Are you trying to get a job here?
(Jang Cheol Min)
I'm just curious about Ms. Ma's new story.
Okay? Now, get going.
- Hurry up and get to work. - What are you talking about?
Just go. Do me a favor, okay?
Yes, this is Han Tae Gyu.
Okay, sure.
I'm sorry I asked you to meet at such a late hour.
It's okay.
I feel like I owe you an apology.
I'm sorry about what happened at Rainbow Village.
There's an important deal going on,
and the buyer suddenly changed his mind that day.
I'm sure you didn't want to meet me just to tell me that.
Right.
Did you meet...
Lee Jung Hee that day?
Yes, for a while.
What did she say?
She said she doesn't know anything.
But...
it seemed like she was hiding something.
To be honest,
I called the production company today.
They said they'll let me schedule a meeting with her last time.
But when I called, they said...
she won't be available for a while without telling me why.
It's probably because of the death threat.
"Death threat"?
Who?
Lee Jung Hee.
Are you saying someone's threatening...
to murder her?
(Under investigation)
Director Sung.
They're almost ready to shoot.
Okay, tell them that I'll be there.
Okay.
By the way, did you call Jung Hee?
Does she appear in any of the scenes we're shooting today?
Yes, toward the end. Should I try calling her?
- Sure. - Okay.
Are you okay to shoot?
That's the only thing I can do right now.
You...
still didn't tell me...
why...
Myung Hee said that to you that day.
Do you know why I'm not telling you?
That's because you're not capable of handling the truth.
I'll be there soon. Thank you, Mr. Choi.
(Studio)
You should stay in the car.
Who is he?
My goodness.
Gosh, let me explain.
We only came to scare her a little.
Who sent you?
Well...
I heard she's in a little debt.
Are they with you?
No, there's no one else...
(Wire 100,000 dollars to the bank account below.)
(If you don't, the whole world will find out about what you did.)
Mr. Ko. Mr. Ko!
Mr. Ko!
Mr. Ko! No...
This is how you punch someone, you punk.
What do you want me to show you?
The video footage of Jung Hee's housewarming party.
Can I take a look at it?
Why?
I'll tell you after watching it first.
You know who the culprit is, don't you?
You have the same look on your face from yesterday.
It's only a guess.
Tell me. Who is it?
I feel like if I tell you,
you'll get mad because it's a groundless guess.
I won't.
Come on. Who is it?
Jung Hee.
Tell me. Who is it?
Jung Hee.
What?
Director Sung knows about it too.
Get out.
If you say such gibberish again, I won't let it slide, okay?
Auntie.
Do Hwan can get the footage for us.
You're talking about the making film, right?
The one with the scene where Lee Jung Hee hands her a glass.
Can we watch it?
I'll try to help...
since it's Eun Ji's request.
Stop being silly. I need it by today, okay?
Okay.
So you just pulled out?
Look.
You should've told us that Ko Mal Goo was her bodyguard.
Still, it was just one man.
He isn't just one man.
I'm hanging up.
- Where's Jung Hee right now? - That's...
She isn't picking up her phone.
Where are you?
Everyone is waiting.
I'm sorry.
I think I got the location wrong.
Where is Jung Hee?
She's fallen asleep.
I'll be there with her soon.
Okay, sir.
Are you okay?
Yes.
What? The footage taken by Chae Joong Chul?
Yes.
They want to check something regarding the murder case.
Why are you doing things I didn't tell you to do when I...
Are you talking about observing them?
They're busy...
trying to solve the case these days.
There's nothing to report about.
Not that, punk.
I told you to bring her fingerprint.
I'll bring it to you soon, so don't worry too much.
Can't you give me that footage right now?
Then I'll wait here. Thank you in advance.
Salute.
I think I have to have the car repaired.
Are you really all right?
I'm okay.
I'm sorry.
It's all because of me.
Jung Hee.
I think...
it's better to let the police know about what happened today.
I'll see you back at the house then.
Can't you take pictures with your phone?
Gosh, no.
He looks pretty good on screen.
Are you sure this is the making film?
Yes.
As a matter of fact, Mr. Chae is being investigated.
Hold on.
She hands her glass to the assistant director, but there's nothing more.
Why does the video jump to different scenes?
He said he smoked...
and ate food in the meantime.
Then...
how about we go take some photos?
Photos?
I saw someone taking still pictures there that day.
We might be able to find a lead.
Profile pictures?
You know the photographer who took photos during the housewarming.
I called her...
and asked if she could take decent pictures of you like actresses.
What did she say?
It's a bit pricey,
but she can make time for us.
That's great.
If she makes us look like actresses, money won't be an issue.
Don't you agree?
Why would I take profile pictures at my age?
Don't worry.
She said she'd make you look about 10 years younger.
- 10 years? - Let's go.
I'll pay for the price.
Don't. I should be paying for it.
How nice.
Now that we're here, I'm a little nervous.
What's there to be nervous about?
Ms. Yang.
I know you shook your legs all along our way here.
Goodness. When did I?
Don't worry.
I've prepared this just in case.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
Your name is Yoo Jung, right?
I heard you took pictures...
during Jung Hee's housewarming party the other day.
Right, I took still pictures for her.
Can I take a look at those pictures?
I don't think that's up to me to decide...
with the portrait rights and stuff.
Are you all ready?
- Yes. - Sit, sit.
Eun Ji, aren't you joining us?
If I do, I'll be the only pretty one.
Right, having a young woman like her join us...
will only make us look older.
Shall we begin then?
Okay.
Gosh.
Consider yourselves as the center of the world.
Relax a bit.
Try to look confident.
You're doing great.
Take a sexy pose.
There you go. That's great.
You look beautiful.
Gosh, stop it.
Let's take a few more photos like this.
- Do I look okay? - Good.
That's great.
(Meeting for "Innocence")
Jung Hee. Are you all right?
Move back a little.
The photos will look great, right?
This looks pretty.
Should we switch flowers?
Let's try a graceful look this time.
- Graceful? - All right.
- Graceful. - Here we go.
You look great.
What?
What are you doing in an empty office?
I was just really bored.
(Lee Jung Hee fainted during the shoot.)
What do you think you're doing? That's my cellphone.
You know that this is a serious invasion of privacy, right?
Hey.
Give it back. It's my cellphone.
If you think keeping privacy is important,
you shouldn't have sneaked into someone's office.
What's going on?
Look.
I'll give it back to you after checking, so be quiet now.
What is it?
It's nothing. Let's go.
He took your cellphone?
Don't worry.
I kept it safe in the cloud.
Cloud service.
(Meeting for "Innocence")
(Upload your files here.)
Someone once said...
people only see the things that they know.
Isn't this what you wanted to see?
Yes, this look on her face.
Please tell me, Jung Hee.
What did you see that night?
Please tell me.
When was this?
When she was with Bae Hee Jae.
Did you hear what they said to each other?
I tried to,
but I had to go over to Ms. Yang.
I don't look good at all.
Only half of my face is shown.
What a bad photo.
Do you remember...
what they were talking about?
I'm not sure. When was this?
When I had just come upstairs.
Oh, at that time?
Yes, I remember.
This woman was badmouthing you.
Isn't it funny?
I don't know how she found out,
but Ma Ji Won came to me and asked me what happened that day.
I told her that...
it's true that I was there at that time,
but I have nothing to tell her.
Jung Hee. Are you all right?
What about the things she said before that?
She said she had some kind of a disease.
What do you mean?
I'm not sure.
It was really noisy then.
Does that have...
something to do with Jung Hee's case?
Hello, Ms. Oh.
Oh, right. You were there with me.
Did you overhear anything?
She said she had German influenza...
when they met in Thailand.
- Influenza? - Yes.
She said she had headaches and rashes,
and she had to wear thick makeup when she met Jung Hee.
- She's a dull woman, isn't she? - Yes.
That's not influenza.
I think people also call it German measles.
Yes, people call it that too.
German measles?
It's rubella.
- Rubella? - Yes.
Hee Jae had...
rubella at that time.
"The cobwebs were spun widely."
"The mirror was broken in half."
"I have been cursed."
"Curse is upon me."
Just like this poem,
Jung Hee's curse was not seeing the person she loves.
Her curse was losing her child.
- You're all set. - Thank you.
(9 years ago, Thailand)
Jung Hee!
Hello, Hee Jae.
Seong Tae, you're here too.
Hello.
Honey.
You look radiant today.
She had rubella, but she thought it was a flu.
She didn't take it seriously.
The symptoms of rubella aren't that severe.
But rubella is highly contagious,
and it's a fatal virus for pregnant women.
It could cause birth defects,
and it could even cause miscarriage.
(Symptoms of rubella)
You're right.
Was Jung Hee pregnant at that time?
She was three months pregnant when she was filming "Shaman".
The shoot in Thailand was two months before that,
so she would've been pregnant already.
That's when she got infected.
Her child was sick because of rubella,
but Jung Hee didn't know.
People rarely have rubella in Korea now.
What about her child?
That's the point.
She did something she shouldn't have done to her child.
I'm sorry to say this, but she deserved it.
She sent away her adopted child...
just because she got pregnant with her own.
It probably caused her greater shock.
The guilt of doing such a thing...
must have made the pain...
of losing her child even worse.
Jung Hee didn't know.
She had the blessing of making films with the man she loves,
and she finally got her long-awaited child.
It suddenly turned into a curse, but she didn't know why.
Then she found out...
everything that day.
What did you just say?
German measles?
No. German influenza.
Isn't that funny?
I've never even been to Germany.
How in the world did I get German influenza?
You had it at that time?
When we met in Thailand?
Don't worry. It was almost gone when I met you.
Oh, right. Did I tell you that...
I met Ma Ji Won before I came here?
She asked me about you...
when you were filming "Shaman" nine years ago.
I'll be late because of the shoot.
Where is Mal Goo?
He'll be here soon.
He's dealing with a problem with his car.
Are you okay?
Yes.
(Wire 100,000 dollars to the bank account below.)
(If you don't, the whole world will find out about what you did.)
I'll give you the money in person.
Where should we meet?
Shouldn't you be at the set?
I heard they're going to shoot until dawn today.
That's really none of my business.
Yoo Jung, you'll have to pay me a little earlier than expected.
I told you that I'll give you the money after the movie shoot.
Here's a question.
Does that mean I won't get paid if the movie goes haywire?
You also got that threat call, didn't you?
Myung Hee's the one who made that call.
She saw what Lee Jung Hee did.
Let me go.
The other wolves will also start sniffing around at this rate.
"I'm here. I'm here as well."
You already looked through enough.
I'm pretty sure no one else saw it.
I really don't get it.
Why do you keep trying to protect Jung Hee?
It's not like she's your mom.
Anyway, the cops will soon find out that Jung Hee killed Hee Jae.
Then the movie won't be made, you'll lose a job,
and you won't be able to pay me.
That won't happen.
The movie will be made.
You even saw what Director Sung did just to protect his wife.
Do you think Director Sung is the person...
that killed Myung Hee?
No way.
That's why...
you better give me my money within this week...
unless you want to end up like Myung Hee.
Then...
did Jung Hee also kill Myung Hee?
I mean, think about it.
Jung Hee could've killed Myung Hee because she even got...
a threat call from her.
I can understand that she could've accidentally killed Hee Jae.
But I don't think she would've killed Myung Hee as well.
Then who else could be the culprit?
He or she managed to keep the witness from talking.
That means it's highly possible...
that he or she is aware of what Jung Hee did.
There's Director Sung and Park Myung Hee.
Who else knows?
I don't know.
But one thing's for sure.
That person definitely had a clear purpose.
Either that person wants to cover up what Jung Hee did...
or has a whole other purpose.
Writer Jung.
Do you want a ride?
Gosh, but those two really don't look good together.
So either that person wants to cover up what Jung Hee did...
or has a whole other purpose.
Do you also think so?
What are you talking about?
You're right.
They really don't look good together.
Tell me again. You got orders from whom?
I told you already. It was Mr. Chae.
The guy who's in charge of the movie production.
This is Ko Mal Goo.
Where's Chae Joong Chul?
Yes.
At the studio?
