Original subtitles

(Episode 7)

(I know that your son is not Choi Man Sik's son.)

Yes.

There will be another murder.

And that will be...

the person whom the murderer was after from the beginning.

(I know that your son is not Choi Man Sik's son.)

- What is this? - Herbicide.

It's for weeds in the garden.

Why did she drink this?

When did you say you found her body?

I usually get to work before lunch,

but I told her that I'll be late because I had something to do.

I was late anyway, so I stopped by to get groceries, then I came here.

I am not sure what I can say to comfort you.

What is going on?

It looks like this caused yet another trouble.

But this letter is such nonsense.

Well.

I'm sorry to ask,

but do you know if there is a reason for her to be shocked...

over this message?

- What are you talking about? - I apologize.

People did get a bit suspicious...

because we had Woo Joon so late.

It was tough for her to bear through that...

with postpartum depression,

but Woo Joon is definitely our son.

It looks like this letter brought back the old memories.

Sir. I think I found something.

Bring it here.

Do you recognize the handwriting?

Goodness.

Yes.

It's my wife's handwriting.

- Really? - Yes!

That's what it said in the letter.

Attorney Choi isn't Woo Joon's father?

She had an affair and had a son with some other man.

No way.

If Woo Joon were her legitimate son,

why would she have killed herself because of the letter?

I believe that there are...

things one shouldn't say in front of the deceased's house.

You may not know about this,

but rumors about it spread a long time ago.

Do you know who's worse than the one who sent the letter?

It's the people...

who gossip about it as if the rumor is true.

Don't you agree?

My gosh!

It's not like I spread the rumor.

(The late Park Jin Sook, Husband Choi Man Sik)

Woo Joon.

You poor boy.

Hang in there.

- I said no. - Eun Young.

Don't ever bring that up again.

Your lack of interest in me has already made my life hard.

But he's your brother.

He's your son.

She's the daughter.

She lives in the States,

and her father disowned her...

after she married a man he didn't approve of.

But hey.

I'm actually too terrified to ask this but...

- What is it? - You said that...

if there were another murder,

the victim would be the intended target.

Is that you?

Her housekeeper said that...

the threatening letter...

wasn't sent via mail.

(Joo Bok Soon, Yeom Eun Hye)

What if it didn't come in the mail?

Does that mean someone in the family left it there?

I'm scared too.

What will happen to Woo Joon...

if it were one of them?

Read this.

It's the suicide note his mom wrote.

Ms. Park wrote this?

Her husband confirmed it.

Attorney Choi?

Just stop already. You've done enough.

I want to think so too,

but it's Woo Joon's mom who passed away.

Fine, I get that.

Just keep this in mind though.

It's not just Lee Jung Hee who has her eyes on you.

There's Han Tae Gyu too.

Don't forget that.

That woman is Ma Ji Won, right?

No, it has to be her.

What?

Are you saying that Detective Cheon saw wrong?

What do you mean you're certain?

Fingerprints will verify my claim.

You can't print someone without any evidence these days.

Do you want to lose your job?

Yes, sir.

Sure thing.

Sir, give me just a month,

and I will wrap up this case.

It's fine, so just leave.

Mr. Yang wants a word.

(Personnel File)

You were expelled because you stole some money?

It wasn't me.

I know that. You're not that kind of person.

Still, why were you expelled?

As you grow older, you should learn life's lessons.

If you had listened to your teachers...

and lied that you needed it...

to buy new textbooks,

you would've only been suspended and have graduated.

With your abilities, you would've made it to station chief by now.

That incident taught me what it's like to be wrongfully accused.

It's why I became a cop.

I wasn't finished, you punk.

That woman is looking for Lee Jung Hee.

Lee Jung Hee is the ghost from nine years back.

According to her statement from back then,

Lee Jung Hee witnessed the culprit.

Han Tae Gyu!

If she isn't the culprit Lee Jung Hee saw,

it means that we locked up an innocent person for nine years.

Are you trying to lose your job?

(Han Tae Gyu, Letter of Resignation)

Please, ma'am.

I want to undo my mistake.

Shut up!

My gosh. Really?

Exactly.

My kid went to the funeral.

That Korean woman from China...

was acting like she was Attorney Choi's wife.

My goodness. Is the rumor true then?

- What rumor? - From what I hear,

that woman wanted...

to start a life with Attorney Choi, so she killed...

Oh, dear.

Let's get some coffee.

Hello.

Don't mind them.

Do you believe it too?

Do you think...

I killed her?

You are a filthy wench who committed murder...

to take possession of our Attorney Choi.

You've been asked to testify,

but they say you don't have to.

Just say you're not going.

I should for Woo Joon.

Why does he matter?

What if someone in his family is the murderer?

I can't let him live with a murderer.

Just who exactly do you think did it?

I don't want this to be true.

I truly don't.

Don't worry.

This way.

Your daughter's blood was found in your car.

Why did you murder your daughter?

Please say a word.

Why did you do it?

- Tell us. - Say something.

Why did you do it?

Please say something!

You don't look so well today.

Why did you say something so absurd...

and make my life difficult?

- Let's go. - Okay.

(Ilsan Seobu Police Station)

[VIU Ver] SBS E07 Ms Ma: Goddess of Revenge "Tae Gyu Wishes To Undo His Mistake" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

Hey, come on.

Let's hurry up and go.

Let's go.

(Wanted for murder, a runaway)

It might take a while.

Thank you.

Anyway,

do you know...

the kind of movies that Eun Ji likes?

We're going to go watch a movie this weekend,

but I don't know what she likes.

Ms. Ma Ji Won.

Can she go in now?

Yes, escort her in.

Let's go.

Come on in.

She does look like her.

She doesn't just look like her, they look exactly the same.

I thought you checked already.

I haven't checked her fingerprints.

I do kind of want to check.

But we can't take a fingerprint from a testifier.

We can turn her into a suspect.

Right, you can ask Mi Hyun,

who had a fight with Heo Joo Young.

Okay, we'll look into that.

And once you find out that Heo has been murdered,

you should reinvestigate the case that was covered up as a suicide.

Are you talking about the case on Mr. Choi's wife?

I heard the threatening letter...

didn't get there by mail.

You will be able to find a lead...

if you start there.

Well, we'll find the lady named Mi Hyun first.

One second.

(Inspector Park Jae Hang)

Yes.

Yes, I understand.

Hey.

I heard you broke into Mr. Heo's place.

That's a crime. It's called housebreaking.

That's...

Do you admit that you went into his house without his permission?

Someone hung himself.

I needed to do something.

You can explain yourself later. Ms. Ma Ji Won.

You are now under investigation as a suspect.

You may choose to remain silent.

Let's pack up and go.

What is it?

Attorney Choi Man Sik's maid died.

What?

This used to be a crime-free neighborhood.

What's going on?

Murder cases can break out where people are. Don't fuss.

We're the precinct station of a crime-free neighborhood.

Do you know how important that is for our career?

It'll benefit your career If we catch them in the speed of light.

How would I ever do that?

Wait!

Move aside!

Jackpot.

What brings you here?

- This is yours, isn't it? - Why?

Do you need to get your money back from someone?

How dare you talk like that?

Do you know what this is? I need to search your place.

You can talk here.

Hey, this is a search warrant.

You can't go inside.

If you have to say something, you can say it here.

Hey, Ko Mal Goo.

My gosh, it's really Ko Mal Goo.

- Lieutenant Park. - I'm an inspector now.

What are you doing here?

That's none of your business.

No one can go in here right now.

- What? - Why?

Will you just go outside?

I mean,

do we have to do this even when we have a search warrant?

I'll tell you later. Will you just go outside?

My gosh.

- You can leave that there and go. - What?

Stop whining.

Darn it.

What is it?

Wait here for a bit.

Sir, sir.

My gosh.

Hey, what if he runs away?

Why are you waiting for him out here?

He's not going to run away. Don't worry about it.

You sound so chill with a murderer right before you.

By any chance, do you know Jang Il Goo?

Jang Il Goo of Il Goo Squad?

Of course.

I made him retire.

- You did? - You didn't know?

Then do you want to go meet him inside?

Yes.

The old man sleeping in there is...

that same Jang Il Goo.

The last romantic thug of the land of Joseon.

The boss of Il Goo Squad, Jang Il Goo.

You killed a woman?

Sir.

I'm fine.

I will send someone here while I'm gone.

Please hang in there even though it'll be uncomfortable.

Mal Goo.

Yes, sir.

Remember this.

A thug can keep his pride if he pays back as much as he got hurt.

I'll do it.

Ko Mal Goo!

You are under arrest for the murder of Joo Bok Soon.

You have the right to get a lawyer...

and a chance to explain yourself.

Also,

you have the right...

to seek habeas corpus.

Got it? Take him away.

What was that?

- What happened? - My gosh.

It's all over now. You can go back in.

- Thank you. - Goodnight.

- I'm so relieved now. - Goodness.

- Thank you. - Good work.

Yes. Sure. Goodbye.

- Thank you. - Sure.

My gosh.

- Can you come to the library now? - Ms. Ma.

I heard Ko Mal Goo killed Bok Soon.

We don't know that yet.

I'm really scared.

This is a real murder case.

I'm in a hurry, so come show me the library record.

Let's do this later.

My heart is racing, so I can't do a thing right now.

Ms. Hong.

Why do you want to see the library record?

Tell me.

I'm an intern volunteer here.

I'll be instated after the meeting.

An innocent man was arrested.

I can't let this go on anymore.

("Kong Jwi, Pat Jwi")

I need the history of people who borrowed this book.

May I ask you why?

Everything began as the murderer sent that threatening letter.

And that threatening letter was...

made with letters cut out of this book.

(The murderer...)

(Next day, the magistrate began to look for the owner of the shoe.)

(Kong Jwi told him all about what happened.)

(The magistrate found out all of their evil plans.)

("Kong Jwi, Pat Jwi")

That idiot made the letter by using our books?

- You got one too? - Yes.

So where should I begin?

A month ago.

(Book Rental History)

(Joo Bok Soon, Yeom Eun Hye, Choi Man Sik, Park Jin Sook)

(Ko Mal Goo, Father, a former thug)

This is what I got.

That jerk. They called me a prostitute.

I found out from where they cut out the letters in my letter.

And this is the list of people who checked the book out.

Let's see.

Let's see who checked out the books used on her letter and mine.

Then we'll find the culprit.

What's with Mal Goo?

The innocent man who got blamed.

(Ko Mal Goo, Father, a former thug)

We have evidence. Are you really not going to talk?

Stop being stubborn and spill it.

This will only cost you. Don't you know?

That spy of a jerk.

He's always been like that.

He kept silent last time he got in here too.

Hey, what? What do you want?

Where's the restroom?

You idiot. You're doing this again.

If it wasn't Mal Goo,

it's that guy, Choi Man Sik.

Why did he do that...

to his wife?

And he had Woo Joon too.

It's obvious.

He must have had an affair with that woman.

Okay.

This guy wanted to live with this woman,

so he killed her.

Then he killed him to cover up her case as a suicide too.

But why did he kill...

this woman?

Joo Bok Soon realized that Ms. Park has been murdered.

How?

She probably heard me say that there will be another murder.

Then Ms. Park really died,

and the letter wasn't delivered.

She got suspicious of someone in the house.

She got suspicious of Choi Man Sik?

If she did, she wouldn't have lost her life.

Sadly, there was something that intervened with her judgment.

What is that?

She liked Choi Man Sik.

On the other hand, she would have hated Ms. Yeom, who showed...

an interest in Choi Man Sik.

That's why Ms. Joo wrote a threatening letter to Ms. Yeom.

When Ms. Yeom showed Choi that letter saying she's falsely blamed,

Choi Man Sik quickly realized who sent that letter.

It said, "our Attorney Choi".

What about that?

Choi already knew that Ms. Joo liked him.

That's why he silenced her.

Because once she opens her mouth,

everything will be turned into a murder case.

(Yeom Eun Hye, worked in their house)

(Choi Man Sik, Park Jin Sook, Choi Woo Joon)

(Episode 8 will air shortly.)

(Episode 8)

Attorney Choi?

No way. That's absurd.

You even saw his wife's suicide note.

Who confirmed that it was written by her?

Attorney Choi...

He forged her handwriting and claimed she wrote it.

The police is accusing the wrong person.

I'm not saying that you two...

don't have a point.

It's just that...

we have a former assemblyman and current lawyer on one side,

and the thug Ko Mal Goo on the other.

We also have definitive evidence.

Who do you think is the obvious suspect?

You idiot!

Get lost!

You idiot. How is a sparrow the offspring of a pigeon?

That doesn't make sense.

- You idiot. - You're pathetic.

You boys!

- Run for it! - Go, go!

You should be having fun with friends.

Why were you arguing with them?

Have you eaten?

You've gotten skinnier.

Ms. Ma,

isn't a sparrow an offspring of a pigeon?

Probably not.

Not that I know of.

This isn't the time to be making gimbap.

These are for him.

Woo Joon?

Have you made these before?

Of course.

Then take over.

Have you never made them before?

Unfortunately not.

Now, go on.

- Please enjoy. - Thank you.

Yes, of course.

A diner's would taste better.

What brings you by at this hour?

I made too many rolls of gimbap.

I brought some for Woo Joon to eat.

Well, he's asleep.

Are those documents for your departure?

Yes.

When do you leave?

When the school in Beijing...

accepts Woo Joon as a student.

You're a lucky boy. You'll be meeting new friends.

Once there,

make sure to have fun with them.

Well...

Please do understand.

Unexpected things kept on happening to him lately.

If it's all right with you,

may I keep Woo Joon at my place for a couple days?

He might feel better...

if the surroundings change a bit.

Well...

I'll have to ask Mr. Choi.

Please do so.

Kids made fun of me saying that I'm a kid of a sparrow.

Really?

They said my dad is a dove.

Because a sparrow cannot be a dove's son.

They said he isn't my dad.

Is my dad really not my real dad?

What do you mean?

My mom killed herself because of that.

No, that's a lie.

If that's a lie, why did she do that?

If he is my real dad, why did she kill herself?

- Woo Joon. - What am I going to do?

My mom is dead.

My mom isn't around anymore.

What am I going to do all by myself?

Mom...

Mom.

Have you been crying?

People are so evil.

Don't they know what will happen when a kid hears these things?

He found out about the letter?

Don't they realize that things they say meaninglessly...

can break someone else's heart?

So what now?

What will you do?

What?

Mal Goo got arrested,

and Choi Man Sik is leaving Korea soon.

Are you going to leave it like this?

What can I do? There's no evidence.

If there's no evidence, we'll have to make a trap.

A trap to catch a mouse.

First of all, send him a threatening letter.

A guilty conscience needs no accuser.

Write down everything that you said.

About Heo Joo Young, Woo Joon's mom, and Joo Bok Soon's murder.

"Bring 100,000 dollars."

"If you don't, I'll upload this on the internet and social media."

Send him that letter.

I told him to come by 12am,

so I'll wait here.

You can go back to Woo Joon's place and call me when Choi leaves.

What do you think?

Are you sure it'll be okay?

He's a murderer who killed three people.

- If he gets here... - Don't worry about it.

I have my insurance plan.

This is a bit dodgy for a date.

- Did he leave? - Not yet.

It's past 12am.

Come back home for now.

Okay.

Eun Ji.

(Aunt)

Eun Ji!

(Aunt)

Eun Ji!

Seo Eun Ji!

Eun Ji!

Aunt.

- Are you okay? - I'm okay.

What on earth happened?

What do you mean?

I, Jo Chang Gil,

caught the murderer.

Yeom Eun Hye, who was arrested two days ago,

was under...

a serious conflict with the victim.

What was the reason of their conflict?

Yes, they had a huge fight over Attorney Choi,

who recently lost his wife.

This letter that Yeom received is the evidence.

Who sent that letter?

It was sent by Joo Bok Soon.

This was found at Joo Bok Soon's house.

As you can see, the letters are cut out.

This letter was made...

with the letters cut out from this book.

She sent her multiple letters to this day,

then she finally paid for what she did with death.

Did the suspect make a confession?

No, not yet.

However, we found...

the deceased Joo Bok Soon's blood on her sneakers.

I am sure that she will make a confession soon.

Goodness. Why did you leave at that time?

I'm sorry.

I have a bowel trouble.

What happened to Ms. Yeom?

She hasn't made a confession, but it's pretty much over.

The evidence is clear.

- She hasn't confessed? - Yes, she's keeping silent.

I checked Attorney Choi's alibi just in case...

at the time of Mr. Heo and Ms. Park's death.

- And? - It's certain.

He was in his office at that time.

A lot of people were there with him.

What about when Ms. Joo died?

He was on his way over from a branch in Uijeongbu.

We have to check his dash cam,

but nothing for now.

Let me ask you one more question.

When Yeom got arrested,

how did Mr. Jo find out she was there?

He received a call from an unknown informant.

Ms. Ma.

He had something to give you.

It's this.

Did you make this?

It's probably not as good as gimbap you get from a restaurant.

You knew that?

I told you that I want to be a chef.

- Are you okay, Woo Joon? - My dad said...

everyone will have to go back to the other side,

and I will have to go back one day too.

So what's important is what I do here...

before I go back there.

Wait and see.

I will become the most famous chef in this world.

Woo Joon, you're all grown up now.

Goodbye.

I'm getting on a plane to go to China in a little bit.

Today?

Yes, with my dad and Ms. Yeom.

Ms. Yeom?

Right now, Ms. Yeom is...

He said she'll be freed because she's innocent.

My dad went there himself.

My goodness.

So much for my shot as a district delegate.

We had no choice.

She was with Ko Mal Goo at the time of the incident.

Why did she have to be at his house...

on that day at that time of day?

She was there to borrow a children's book...

for her child.

Why would a thug have that kind of thing?

Thank you for letting me use your bathroom.

Don't be so biased against him.

If he hadn't gotten off on the wrong foot...

and joined a church or a temple,

he might have become a decent pastor or monk.

Did you just defend that jerk of a thug?

And you call yourself a cop?

Incheon Terminal, please.

[VIU Ver] SBS E08 Ms Ma: Goddess of Revenge "I’m Just As Scared" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

Both were cut loose due to alibis.

The case is back to square one.

I can't believe this.

Attorney Choi planned the whole thing.

What about Yeom Eun Hye?

No way.

Are they in cahoots with each other?

One has money and fame...

while the other has youth and beauty,

and Ms. Park was in their way.

Then I get why Ms. Park was murdered.

What about Yeom Eun Hye though?

Why was she sent there?

It was a bait for the police.

They couldn't have the letter you sent circulating.

So the anonymous tip Mr. Jo received...

was from Choi Man Sik?

Persuading Ms. Yeom was easy...

since he knew he could provide an alibi.

When Attorney Choi...

was busy killing Joo Bok Soon,

Ms. Yeom must've been at Ko Mal Goo's house.

The bloody towel...

must be from a previous injury Ms. Joo suffered.

This I don't understand though.

Why kill his wife when he could just divorce her?

They had a son together later on which means...

that they were much in love.

You'll know if you beat it out of them.

Mal Goo!

She went to Incheon to get on a ferry.

If we race over there, we can catch her.

What good would that do at this moment?

Where did you say she went?

(1st International Ferry Terminal)

Yes, I'm here.

Do as I say when you grab her.

What if she already left?

No, she'll still be there.

Okay.

We should split up. I'll call you if I find her.

Mr. Ko.

You go that way.

Excuse me.

I'm not here for you.

I'm not the police, remember?

Just let me show you a video.

I'm sorry, but my ferry will be here soon.

Watch the video.

Choi Man Sik...

won't be here anyway.

- Ms. Ma. - Woo Joon.

Are you going abroad too?

- No. - Then why are you here?

I just...

wanted to see you one last time.

I know how absurd that is.

Where's your father?

Why?

I have something to ask him.

He said he'll be back soon.

Dad!

Dad, Ms. Ma...

has something to ask you.

Really?

Woo Joon, could you buy me a beverage?

Sure, off you go.

What do you want to ask?

When did you figure it out?

Just today.

I was so surprised...

that I was covered in sweat.

You know that day...

when you said that I was biased and a murderer too.

I was able to shake off any suspicion...

thanks to that idiot Jo Chang Gil.

How about it?

Does that answer your question?

More or less.

I don't see Ms. Yeom around though.

Yeom Eun Hye?

Didn't you plan all of this together?

Together?

Eun Hye is young and pretty.

She's well-educated too.

But no Chinese-Korean...

is worthy enough to be with me.

What about you though? You I would approve.

Although, not for long.

Choi Man Sik, you scumbag.

How could you do this to me?

A prostitute, you say?

Unbelievable.

You're dead meat, you know that?

The court won't allow this as evidence.

What about Ms. Yeom's testimony?

Dad!

All she has to do is stay quiet until I get to America.

What are you doing?

Woo Joon is your son.

My son? Didn't you know?

You should've figured it out when you knew I wrote the letter.

This is all her fault!

Okay, fine. Please stop.

I only found out recently too.

He's not my biological son.

She had an affair and got pregnant with him.

Woo Joon,

that's not true. It isn't.

Mark my words...

if you wish to see him again.

Let go, you jerk!

Woo Joon,

you listen to me.

Your dad made up that lie as a joke.

You are your mom's son and also your dad's son.

Think about it.

Both your parents loved you dearly.

Right? Woo Joon...

You believe me, right?

Woo Joon.

Did you hear what I just said?

You know,

I'm...

just as scared.

I'm scared of what...

people are capable of.

Move.

What are you doing?

Help me!

Over here!

He's a thug!

I see you just nicked me.

From now on, it's self-defense.

Why would you destroy someone else's phone?

My goodness!

So Woo Joon isn't Attorney Choi's biological son?

My son secretly told me so.

Then the rumor in the past was true!

Exactly. Chimneys don't let out smoke for no reason.

Who is Woo Joon's biological father then?

This is just my guess, but...

- What? - My gosh!

I'm sorry.

My shoulder must be frozen.

I've been getting hand tremors lately.

Why do I feel awful when we caught the murderer?

It's because we saw how nasty people can be.

Why don't we go to see Woo Joon?

He's staying at a care center until his sister comes.

Why? Don't you want to?

Seo Eun Ji.

Is that your name?

Where are you from?

How do you know my dead daughter?

You seem to know everything about me,

but I know nothing about you.

So?

Do you want me to leave?

If you do, just say the word.

No, stay here.

Just let me know what you're up to though.

I'm sorry about last time.

Did I surprise you?

I'm Lee Mi Soon, the person you're looking for.

I go by Lee Jung Hee.

But your voice...

My experience as a voice actor comes in handy.

Where did you see her?

It was near a reservoir.

What about the girl?

Was she all right?

I'm not sure. I didn't see.

I'm sorry.

- I'm sorry. - I'm sorry.

Too many people have been looking for me.

(Ms Ma: Goddess of Revenge)

She wasn't framed.

She was conspired against.

That detective, Han Tae Gyu...

Did you look into him?

Don't you know how resilient writers are?

Lee Jung Hee owes me.

I will let you know everything that happened that day.

I think you're the perfect candidate.

I don't want to hear it.

What's going on?

You know who the culprit is.

It's not me!

I have no choice.

Get out of there!

You'll never understand...

another person's agony unless you experience it yourself.
