Ms. Ma, Nemesis (Miseu Ma, Boksooui Yeoshin / 미스 마, 복수의 여신)

You idiot.

This house has a garden with an ocean view...

and a pool too.

So what's the problem?

Why can't you write anything?

May I help you?

I need rice, kimchi,

beer, coffee, and...

rat poison.

Rat poison?

Don't ask and just bring them to me.

What do you need rat poison for?

You're supposed to bring whatever I need regardless of reason.

That's right, but still.

Put them down and leave already.

Tonight for you

I'll put on a pink lipstick

Unforgettable in your heart

You can't park there!

Hey, move your car!

One cup of iced caramel macchiato...

with spoons of syrup.

I want this, this, and this too.

Excuse me.

Aren't you a writer by any chance?

Right? You're Ma Ji Won.

Who are you? - I'm a fan of yours.

Are you here to...

solve a case or something?

What are you talking about?

One of my friends lives in Rainbow Village.

He said you solved all the cases...

that happened there.

Cases?

Yes.

The murder cases.

Is this true though?

Did you really catch all the culprits?

Yes.

Oh, gosh.

Why did you take so long?

Have you been well?

Writer Ma Ji Won.

Why are you... - What do you mean, why?

I have business to tend to.

Are you going to have me keep standing here?

Hey.

Give me a ride to the terminal.

Are you going somewhere? - Daejeon.

Get in.

Thank you.

This is such a nice house.

What brings you here? - What is this?

Why do you eat instant rice?

I asked why you're here.

Don't look at me with such a scary face.

I was going to kill myself,

but I barely managed to change my mind and came here.

Did you have any inconvenience with writing your novel?

Not at all.

A villa with a pool by the shore.

It was the best.

And?

That's the problem.

The environment is perfect,

but I just can't write.

So...

I'm here to get your help one more time.

What's there I can help with?

The two cases which you've solved here.

I mean, Attorney Choi's case and Lee Jung Hee's case.

I want to write a book about them.

For one last time.

If I can't write a great piece with such materials,

I won't bother you anymore.

I'll disappear from your sight forever.

So help me this once.

You can refer to news articles about them.

News articles aren't enough.

I need to interview the people who were directly involved.

Don't you think so?

Ji Won.

Don't be like this. You didn't even answer my calls.

You have a guest? - Oh, no.

Who is it? - It's nothing.

What brings you here?

Oh, this.

I brought the pictures we took at the studio the other day.

Thank you.

Hey, wait.

Ms. Oh has a favor to ask of you.

A favor?

Let's talk inside. It's something really important.

Not now.

It's a bit messy inside.

Messy? Why?

I heard you put the house on sale. Was it true?

That's not it.

Where is Ms. Oh right now?

At the library, of course.

Let's talk there.

Let's go.

There's a village named Chungeoram on the way to the new city.

The library service group there has sent that invitation.

Rather than an invitation,

it's more like a challenge. Don't you agree, ma'am?

The two groups in each village make a bet...

around this time every year.

We compete for the appreciation plaque...

the district office awards at the end of the year.

What is this about a murder case though?

It's the mafia game. - The mafia game?

You know, the game often played by children.

It's a reasoning game where civilians catch the mafia.

That's right.

And you're good at reasoning.

I'm sorry.

I'm a little tied up these days.

Don't be like that and make some time for it.

The appreciation plaque is one thing,

but it's actually more about...

our group's pride, you see.

That's right.

Let's go teach them a lesson.

Go with us, Ji Won.

I'm really sorry.

That day,

Woo Joon will be there too.

The daughter of their housekeeper...

is classmates with Woo Joon.

They're having dinner with him tomorrow.

It's been a while since you last saw him.

Am I wrong?

The mafia game.

It sounds fun.

Okay, I'll go.

Really?

Really.

What are you trying to pull?

The square-faced lady is Ms. Oh.

The wildcat-looking lady is Ms. Yang.

But why is she called the chairwoman?

Ms. Ma.

Is it because she's the head of the group?

Well, even the owner of a tiny little store addresses themselves...

a president these days.

Ms. Ma Ji Won!

You don't have to give me that scary look.

I'm just here to interview people.

By the way, who's the other woman?

The one who came to your house.

Should I go back and ask?

How nice of you.

You couldn't have taken me to the terminal?

There's something I need to do here.

Is that so?

Thanks anyway.

Did Jang Cheol Min do something to you?

At Director Sung's house, you said he was responsible for something.

It's none of your business.

So you're going to take care of it yourself?

I have someone who will help me.

Ms. Ma?

Why do you think she'll help me?

I know that she's not really Ma Ji Won,

and her relationship with him. - Why are you doing nothing then?

You could earn quite a big reward if you turn her in.

Eun Ji.

I don't know whom you're going to meet here,

but it's the people who have been by your side...

who can really help you. Don't forget that.

Did you come here alone?

My aunt is a little busy.

Your aunt? Drop it already.

I know that you don't have any aunts.

Of course I do.

I'll take this one too, Auntie.

Thanks, Auntie.

Was that a good enough answer?

Why did you want to see me?

There's something I want to know.

And why do I have to help you with that?

Because I'm the person who heard Lee Jung Hee's last words.

The places where the kidnapper made those calls...

were the places where that woman was.

Besides, the hair and blood...

that we found from her car left at the scene...

also belonged to Jang Min Seo.

What if these results were fake? - Not possible.

Someone could have switched the hair and the blood.

You think the police are a bunch of fools?

That means...

a woman who thinks the police are a bunch of fools could've done it.

A woman?

Lee Jung Hee said...

the kidnapper she saw...

was clearly a woman.

If Lee Jung Hee really said she saw a woman...

My aunt...

is not the culprit. If she was, Lee Jung Hee wouldn't have said...
