Did you kill Park Myung Hee?
If she opens her mouth,
my beautiful video becomes useless.
You can't make money with something that's useless.
From you and Jung Hee.
Did you request money from Jung Hee too?
Of course.
She should be coming with money right now.
I told you I'd pay you.
You did.
You said you'd pay me if I kept quiet about her murdering somebody.
But I told you this as well.
People will find out.
Go back. Don't come,
Mom.
(Go back. Don't come, Mom.)
What did you just say?
Did you say, "mom"?
No way.
You...
Listen to what I say.
Ye Ji...
Are you Ye Ji?
Don't tell anybody you were here.
If somebody finds out, say you have no idea.
And erase all the text messages he sent you.
And...
take this and get rid of it.
Ye Ji...
Are you listening to me?
You have to trust me no matter what I do.
If not, you'll rot in prison for the rest of your life as a murderer.
Do you understand?
Go.
Ye Ji...
Don't you hear me?
(Episode 19)
Mal Goo.
What brings you here?
I have to talk to Mr. Chae.
Yoo Jung.
The police. Call the police.
What are you doing? That's my phone.
Someone just ran out in a hurry.
Did you recognize them?
I think it was Lee Jung Hee.
Thank you.
Are you sure you saw Jung Hee?
It was dark, so I only got to see her back.
But she had Ms. Lee's hairstyle.
I can't believe this either.
Why would she try to harm Mr. Chae?
He threatened Lee Jung Hee.
Threatened?
We just received a report.
We will call you again soon.
You may go home now.
You must be in shock.
You two looked especially close.
I just befriended him because I needed help.
We aren't in a relationship that you think we are in.
But what do you mean that Mr. Chae threatened Ms. Lee?
Does he know one of her weaknesses?
Do you really not know?
Do you think I do?
I'm sorry.
I thought you were in league with him.
Why?
I thought you were Ye Ji.
Who's Ye Ji?
A child that Jung Hee gave up again after adopting her.
She's probably about your age by now.
I've never heard that before.
Not a lot of people know.
She was adopted for a very short time,
then was given up again.
I don't understand.
Do you really think so?
About that woman named Ye Ji.
I understand that Ms. Lee did something very awful to her,
but would she really threaten someone...
that she once called her mom?
Don't you think it's because she once called her a mom?
The closer you are to someone, the more you detest them.
Young lady. I need to talk to you.
What did you say?
Did you just say Jung Hee killed someone?
You heard them, right?
Chae Joong Chul's phone is gone.
Don't you think Lee Jung Hee took it...
because he threatened her with something on the phone?
Do you really think Jung Hee did this?
Jung Yoo Jung saw her run away.
That's what is really throwing me off.
What?
I thought Yoo Jung was the child that Jung Hee once adopted.
I thought she approached Mr. Chae...
because he has the evidence...
of Bae Hee Jae's murder.
Then she did at least one thing right.
The police will find Lee Jung Hee soon.
If she wanted to get revenge,
she should have called the police as soon as she saw the evidence.
Why do you think she stalled time until now?
He probably didn't give her the evidence.
It's not that difficult.
Lee Jung Hee killed someone again,
and Jung Yoo Jung is just a witness.
There is a huge difference between spiking a drink...
and beating someone up to death.
No, they're the same. They are both murder.
And it means...
we don't have much time left.
Ms. Ma.
This was what one of my seniors said to me...
back when I was in the regional investigation unit.
"When someone has no power to do things by themselves,"
"they will need to learn to be parasitic."
You've heard kids say, "can't deny it", right?
We have a witness who saw Lee Jung Hee flee the scene.
We'll go get her with a warrant immediately.
Now that everything came down to this,
I want to arrest Lee Jung Hee.
If your lifeline gets rotten, you need to throw it to a field...
and use it as manure at the very least.
Ms. Ma, you clearly said...
that Lee Jung Hee is the one who killed Bae Hee Jae.
But there's no evidence.
Come on. You know where it is, don't you?
Mr. Chae probably had it.
He threatened Jung Hee with that.
It's me.
Find out where Chae Joong Chul lives.
Also, get me his recent call history.
Everything.
- Chief Jo. - What?
You can find out...
who killed Bae Hee Jae if you find that evidence.
But I don't know who is behind Myung Hee...
and Mr. Chae's cases.
Don't worry about it.
I can find out everything once I interrogate Lee Jung Hee.
Who do you think I am? It's me, Jo Chang Gil.
Mr. Ko. Go ahead.
Mal Goo.
Jae Deok, is that you?
Who are you?
Yes, you know what this is.
And you also know who took the girl...
that had this on her hair.
Go away. Go!
Tell me. Who was it?
I heard Mr. Chae died.
The police called me.
Have you seen Ms. Lee yet?
I'm scared.
Isn't it funny?
Jung Hee is the only one in my life...
that I cherished, adored, and loved.
But now,
I'm scared of that same woman.
Tell me. Is it true?
Is Jung Hee behind what happened to Myung Hee and Mr. Chae?
Mal Goo.
Ms. Lee wasn't there...
when Park Myung Hee died.
Then what about Mr. Chae?
Someone saw her running out of there.
That doesn't mean she's the murderer.
So she isn't?
That's not what you should be worried about.
- Today, during the shooting... - Honey!
Jae Deok!
I don't know. I don't!
Ms. Lee, are you all right?
Ms. Lee!
I'll help you remember.
Ms. Lee!
Was it rubella virus?
Bae Hee Jae got you infected with that,
then you lost your baby.
That's why you killed Bae.
No, I didn't.
Did you think Chae and Park are the only two who knew...
that you were putting on a show with that spiked coffee?
Jae Deok!
You will lose everything once I open my mouth.
That movie of yours...
and Director Sung, who treats you like a queen, everything.
Jae Deok!
So you lost a baby?
I...
I lost my younger sister.
You know very well how it feels...
to lose someone you love.
The pain of losing half my being.
However much time passes, the guilt never goes away.
That's why you committed murder.
I get it.
I mean it. I'd have done the same.
So...
So please tell me.
- I beg of you. - I don't know.
No!
You know.
I don't. I don't know!
You know.
The scumbag was here.
You saw him with your two eyes.
No, I don't know.
Seo Eun Ji!
Tell me. Jang Cheol Min did it.
What are you doing?
Tell me! Tell me!
Tell me.
I don't know.
Tell me.
What did you do?
Seo Eun Ji.
If I tell,
will you help me?
Tell me.
No.
No one can help me.
No one but me...
can help.
Honey. Did I do something that bad?
No. You did nothing wrong.
That's right. I did nothing wrong.
So why am I so scared?
Don't worry, I'm right here.
Jae Deok.
You can relax.
I'll do everything I can to protect you.
Really?
Yes.
The police swarmed over to Director Sung's place and...
- they did... - Seize and search.
Yes, seize and search.
That's what they did.
Why were they there?
Mr. Chae was found dead...
in Writer Jung's studio last night.
My goodness.
- That was nothing. - Why not?
The really shocking bit...
is that Lee Jung Hee's a suspect.
Really?
That's not all.
My son told me that...
she killed the woman who died at the housewarming party.
My goodness, that's terrible.
What do you think about this?
Chief Jo's so excited that he had Lee Jung Hee,
but I don't trust him at all.
Don't say that.
Chief Jo would be upset if he heard.
Why would he when it's the truth?
What? How is it the truth?
Are you defending Chief Jo?
Wow, that's hilarious.
I can't believe what I'm hearing.
Stop it.
Be quiet.
What do you think? Is it really Jung Hee?
I think it's too early to give up.
There's nothing but a witness' statement.
So we push on?
We must.
Are you crazy?
Does it make sense to keep going in this situation?
Why not?
Is Jung Hee a murderer? She's not.
Why must we stop production?
Don't worry, Jung Hee.
The movie will be a hit when you're proven innocent.
The lead played by an actress who was falsely accused?
People will watch it even out of pity.
Director Sung.
What do you think?
Nothing I said is wrong.
I'm sorry. I...
I really don't know.
Thanks for everything.
I think we should stop working together.
Very well.
I'll say just one thing before I leave.
You know your wife is being blackmailed, right?
Yes.
I know Mr. Chae was behind it.
There's someone else.
What do you mean?
Some people want her dead.
Stop it.
I'm sick of it now.
Eun Ji?
Yes. She went to see Jung Hee last night...
and caused a huge ruckus.
About what?
I don't know the details.
It's a bit tight. What do you think?
You look sexy.
Then I won't need to get a new outfit made.
Are they switching the lead?
Jung Hee can't handle the role now.
Of course, it's all thanks to...
the amazing witness.
(Village Library)
Ji Won.
Ji Won, I think I got it.
- Got what? - Back then,
the letter that Woo Joon's dad sent to Chief Jo.
What did it say?
That's it.
"I know you're up to no good with someone at the library."
Ms. Yang?
Yes.
You saw her defend him.
Ms. Ma.
Can you come with me to the school?
The school?
I'm replacing Chief Jo...
on the Anti-bullying Committee.
Woo Joon's name is on the list.
I'm really sorry.
I'll talk to him so that he gets the message.
I have serious doubts that he'll get anything.
Let's go.
Can I talk to Woo Joon for a while?
What for?
To teach him a good lesson.
Does hitting other kids make you feel better?
No. Happy now?
How dare you talk like that to an adult?
You asked a question and I answered. So what?
Woo Joon.
I'm leaving.
- Did the kids tease you again? - Yes.
Then you should've told your teacher.
They don't listen to the teacher.
Did they talk about your dad?
How he's some kind of bird?
- Yes. - Didn't you say...
you hated your dad?
I did.
Why did you beat them up so bad?
I know what my dad...
That guy. I know what he did.
But when the kids say bad things about him,
I can't stand it.
That's why I beat them up.
But then, after I do that, I get more angry.
I fought the other kids...
for a guy like him.
I hate myself for it.
Am I wrong?
You're supposed to talk to them...
when they make fun of their peers.
Isn't that your job as a teacher?
I already told them multiple times to be nice.
Is that all you did?
You have to keep watching them,
and if they try to tease him again,
you're supposed to tell them to stop doing it...
before it happens again!
There are more than just a few kids in a class.
Do all kids in your class fight and tease each other?
That's not true.
Please calm down.
It won't be good for Woo Joon if you keep doing this.
What's good if he keeps on fighting the other kids?
Excuse me, but how are you related to Woo Joon?
I was a close friend of his mom's.
She's not a parent?
Woo Joon's family is complicated.
You can't do this if you're not even his mother.
What do you mean?
It's true. You're making a scene over somebody else's son.
He's almost like a son to me.
You're not even his mom. Why were you there?
He keeps on causing trouble.
I couldn't hold my anger.
Woo Joon is not normal either.
Why would he defend somebody who did that to him?
I get him.
It's his dad regardless of how good or bad he was.
Is Chief Jo at the head office?
Yes, he did.
He said he's going to analyze the evidence...
with crime scene investigators.
- What did Jung Hee say? - She denied it.
Did she talk about me?
About you?
She didn't.
Well, it's because she feels guilty about something.
Yes, Chief Jo.
Now?
It's almost the end of my shift.
Come now!
Eun Ji, it's pretty new,
so please be careful.
Don't worry. Does insurance work?
I put it under your name.
You came home late last night.
Did you meet Jung Hee?
Yes, I told you.
It'll be hard to see her again once she ends up in jail.
- Did you... - It was simple.
"I know what you did, so say it."
"Or else, I'll report you to the police."
Do you think she'll start talking?
It'll be a different story once we show her the evidence.
Evidence?
I got a call from Yoo Jung.
Chae Joong Chul kept the memory cards in the studio.
The police don't know about it yet,
so there could be some evidence left.
Ms. Ma.
You're not asking for the stuffed animal, right?
I gave it away.
That's too bad.
The kid liked it.
My bad.
It's not easy changing my tone of voice.
Go ahead.
What is it this time?
I got to meet Jung Hee a little while ago.
I didn't hear what I was looking for,
but I got interested in your novels.
They're nothing special.
Why did you get interested?
I got the feeling that Jung Hee could be the witness.
Then you should investigate again.
As you know, I resigned.
I didn't know.
Anyhow, once the novel is complete,
I might find out about something I didn't know before.
Such as the real murderer...
for the incident nine years ago?
I was wondering if I could be of any help, so I looked into her.
Surprisingly, there was a person who stole somebody's identity.
Is it that again?
It wasn't you.
Do you know who Jung Yoo Jung is?
She's a well-known photographer.
She's currently residing in the United States.
I know what my dad...
That guy. I know what he did.
But when the kids say bad things about him,
I can't stand it.
About that woman named Ye Ji.
I understand that Ms. Lee did something very awful to her,
but would she really threaten someone...
that she once called her mom?
(Episode 20)
Why aren't you picking up, Eun Ji?
Hey, aren't the results released yet?
No, not yet.
Chief Jo, I'm supposed to go home.
You. Let me warn you.
If you go home before the results get released,
you'll be home forever.
I'll beat you up. Understand?
You're not disciplined.
Okay.
Chang Gil,
if...
if it's not Jung Hee,
- what do we do? - What nonsense is this?
Is it out?
It's me, Chief Jo.
Yoo Jung killed Mr. Chae.
- What? - Yoo Jung...
was adopted by Jung Hee and given up.
Mr. Chae threatened her mom,
so she killed him.
What are you talking about?
Soon, we'll be able to find Jung Hee's prints...
on the murder weapon.
There won't be any at all.
That's not good. For goodness' sake.
Chief Jo, Yoo Jung will hurt anybody...
who tries to threaten her mom.
Eun Ji is on her way to see her.
You have to come to the studio right now.
Chief Jo.
(Studio)
Eun Ji.
Seo Eun Ji!
Where are the results?
Is this it?
(Fingerprint Appraisal Report)
(Collected fingerprint matches that of Jung Ye Ji's.)
Chang Gil, who's Jung Ye Ji?
You're supposed to pick up if the location changed.
The person you're trying to reach...
Yoo Jung.
Are you really doing this because of Jung Hee?
She abandoned you because she got pregnant with her own child.
Do you really think she's worth protecting?
I know that she isn't a good person.
But she is the only person...
that I called my mom.
Yoo Jung.
I still remember when I first met her.
With her pale and long fingers,
she told me this as she held my hand and walked out of the orphanage.
"Call me your mom from now on."
I felt like I was flying in the air.
"From now on, this is my mom."
"Lee Jung Hee,"
"the most beautiful and elegant actress is my mom."
I was so happy that I almost cried.
The three months I spent with her was...
the most beautiful and happiest time of my life.
What about after that?
You were abandoned again when you were only 13.
I know.
My life was indescribably lonely and tough.
I got angry, and I cried a lot too.
But the more I felt that way,
I only began to miss her more...
instead of resenting her.
But I couldn't see her.
However, I still couldn't give up.
I knew I was going to meet her one day.
I knew I had to make more persistent efforts...
to appear before her confidently.
So what happened when you met her?
Did she even recognize you?
She didn't.
Think about it.
Think about how you lived...
such a long time in pain because of her.
Ms. Ma, did you know this?
Someone who lived a happy life...
can suffer from just one unhappy incident.
But someone who lived an unhappy life...
can live happily with just one happy memory.
Yoo Jung, you're still young.
You can make...
a lot of happy memories from now on.
Do you really think so?
One mistake is enough.
You need to stop killing someone to protect...
a murderer.
I ask of you, Yoo Jung.
I don't think I can do that.
I'm sorry.
You know too much.
Yoo Jung!
I am so sorry for what I did...
this morning.
You understand, right?
People are dying off, but we couldn't catch the murderer.
I was completely stressed out too.
- Please do understand. - I do understand.
I am about to cry to hear that you understand.
My goodness.
I knew you would be like this.
Anyway, what is this about another witness?
Right.
That is... That is exactly why I came here myself.
By any chance, do you know a woman named Jung Ye Ji?
I also asked Mr. Koo Gi Baek,
but he didn't know.
So can you please come with me to the station...
and check something real quick?
And this time, I am honestly taking you as a testifier.
I honestly mean that.
Are you all right?
I'm fine. But first...
Ms. Ma. Ms. Ma!
All right.
Ye Ji.
Yes.
You really are Ye Ji.
I'm sorry.
I have done something...
very awful to you.
Don't come any closer.
I'm sorry that I said I saw you there.
I needed time to lose the police.
What do you mean?
Ms. Ma...
won't ever appear before you again.
Wait, did you...
And Eun Ji doesn't have any evidence.
She was just bluffing.
- Ye Ji. - It's all over.
No one in this world knows...
what you have done.
Ye Ji.
So you can relax...
and make a great movie with Director Sung.
No.
I can't do that anymore.
Do you want me to expose the truth?
I'll tell the police everything that you have done.
Ye Ji.
Have a happy life.
That is my final request.
Ye Ji.
Min Seo.
I wanted to go to the hospital,
but your niece stopped me.
Are you all right?
I'm sorry.
I caused you trouble.
I'm sorry about last time.
Everyone has their own stories.
I shouldn't have said that.
- What do you mean? - Don't worry.
No one will believe...
what a blind old man says.
I would like to tell you...
an interesting story as an apology.
I'm sorry,
but I must go somewhere in a hurry.
It was nine years ago.
October of 2009, was it?
A thug I knew...
abducted a girl who was...
about 10 years old.
I think it happened somewhere in Daejeon.
It looks like I should tell you the rest another time.
Are you okay?
Auntie.
Jung Yoo Jung was arrested.
You came here on purpose to kill Jung Hee?
She kicked me out for no good reason.
I just waited for the day to get back at her.
You should've come after her then. Why do all this now?
I didn't know where she was for the past nine years.
You waited for nine years to get revenge?
You're the worst I ever saw.
Why'd you kill Bae Hee Jae?
I spiked Lee Jung Hee's glass,
and that woman ended up drinking it instead.
What about Park Myung Hee, the assistant director?
I got her call as well.
She said she knew the culprit, so I shut her up.
And Chae Joong Chul?
He noticed I was after Lee Jung Hee...
and threatened me.
The same...
goes for Ma Ji Won.
What? You killed Ms. Ma too?
Jae Deok, we don't even have a shoot.
Yes. You look beautiful.
And elegant.
I want people to remember you like this forever.
Jae Deok.
Hello?
Writer Ma Ji Won?
Jae Deok.
You know already.
We have no choice now.
Yes. Let her in.
I'm afraid, Jae Deok.
Don't be.
I told you.
No one can touch even a hair on your head.
I'll do anything...
to protect you.
Okay.
But...
I need you to do something for me.
What is it?
Where was Jung Hee standing...
during the housewarming?
- Around here? - And you?
I was standing...
I was...
about here.
Yes, that's how it felt.
Like she was looking at me.
No.
She didn't look at you.
She looked at that painting.
The moment she knew why she lost the child,
she saw that painting.
A mother holding her child.
The mother's kind and happy face...
was exactly what caused the fury inside her...
to break free.
That's how terribly she loved that child.
It's such a pity that you lost the child the way you did,
but...
there's another child you must care for.
You mean Ye Ji?
She should pay for killing Mr. Chae.
But the other incidents...
have nothing to do with her.
Don't worry.
Ye Ji will be released.
What do you mean?
I mean exactly what I said.
That child suffered more than enough already.
Did you...
Where is Jung Hee?
She'll be asleep.
She wanted a hot coffee,
so I got her one.
Jung Hee.
Honey.
One mistake...
caused me to commit a crime I cannot take back.
Before I leave and return to where I came from,
I want to reveal the truth.
No.
I, Lee Jung Hee, killed Hee Jae.
I sent the evidence...
to Chief Jo's phone.
I'm also the one who killed Mr. Chae.
Ye Ji, the girl the police have...
did nothing wrong.
No.
Auntie.
Jung Hee.
Jung Hee, no.
You can't die like this.
Jung Hee. Jung Hee.
You can't do this.
Why here?
Honey.
I can't turn you...
into a murderer too.
Honey.
Yes.
That girl also...
wore that hairpin.
Tell me.
Who was it?
It was too dark.
But I'm sure that the person...
was a woman.
A woman?
You want to...
get revenge, don't you?
I'm sorry.
I knew you were unfairly blamed,
but I couldn't come forward.
I was afraid that...
people would say my child was disabled...
because I'd sent Ye Ji away.
I was so afraid.
And...
I killed the baby I was carrying.
I hated myself so much for that.
Jung Hee.
But...
you must remember.
Revenge...
is not for us.
We...
cannot handle...
the feeling of emptiness that comes afterwards.
Jung Hee.
Jung Hee!
Jung Hee.
Jung Hee...
Jung Hee!
Jung Hee.
(It's all my fault. I killed Hee Jae and Mr. Chae.)
Mom...
By the way, why isn't Ms. Ma around?
By the looks of it, she was the one who figured it all out again.
Oh, right. Did you know?
She's selling her house.
Why?
Thank you for what you did.
You saved my life.
No problem.
Can I ask you something?
How did you know to come to the studio?
There were people who wanted to kill Jung Hee.
There were?
They weren't merely trying to threaten her.
They intended to kill her.
Who were they?
I don't know yet.
But Chairman Jang said this.
Those people can go after you too.
I...
have somewhere to go.
Where?
I'll tell you after.
If I come back.
I don't know if I'd still be here.
That's true.
By the way,
why did you pretend like you didn't know?
About what?
Yoo Jung killed Chae Joong Chul.
Are you okay...
with her getting released?
I don't know.
You said humans are the darkest.
You've changed a lot.
A woman killed Min Seo.
Who are you?
(Hwang Young Sik, Lee Yoon Ah)
(Director Sung)
- Yes. - This is Sung Jae Deok.
Thank you for your kindness. Ye Ji will be released soon.
And I have something to tell you.
This is what Jung Hee said before she died.
After the incident nine years ago,
she said she saw the woman on TV.
On TV?
Where on TV?
I think she said it was on the news.
I'm not sure about the details.
Bye.
Oh, gosh.
Why did you take so long?
Have you been well?
Writer Ma Ji Won.
(Ms. Ma: Goddess of Revenge)
Ma Ji Won is back.
It'll put you in danger.
Are you worried about me?
I know Ms. Ma is good, but I think she's wrong this time.
He said something strange.
What fingerprint check?
Did you bring it?
If it was going to get awkward between us, I wouldn't have.
Are you really leaving?
Thanks to you, I feel good about leaving this place.
That guy... No, that woman killed my younger sister.
- Honey. - I have a favor to ask of you.
I'll do anything.
If I'm correct, the culprit...
Who is it?
