Han Usuk was found in a coma at the crime scene.

He died three days later.

This boy...

His son.

His son?

Yes. We didn't have a photo of the suspect alone, so we used this one.

And the boy's name...

His name is Jihun Han.

Today?

Yes. They're establishing the trust.

- Where? - In Samcheong.

Isn't it next week? Why the rush?

Guseong produced an analysis of Yunso's potential divorce

as it impacts the Guseong holding company.

I passed it on.

I see.

But why didn't she tell you?

Do you think she suspects something?

Hard to say. But I don't think so.

This is just very high security.

They chose a private bank in the British Virgin Islands, not a Korean bank.

On the condition that it be held for 100 years.

Why there?

To exclude Hyunjin's inheritance from certain tax laws.

Won't this make it hard for us to see the will?

We'll have to get it before it's deposited.

How?

It has to be notarized.

She won't stand for a change in one letter, one digit.

She won't entrust it to anyone else.

We'll have our chance when it's certified. We'll wait till then.

The testator bequeaths her interests and holdings in JK Medical to Jo Hyunjin.

Is that correct?

Correct.

Please sign here.

And the witnesses here.

This establishes the trust.

When I pass, I'm counting on you to affirm that Hyunjin is my successor.

But won't this upset Dongjin?

I fear this will lead to a war with your firstborn.

It's enough to die well. To do what I can and leave others to themselves.

True. Guseong Group is far too powerful.

The private bank can only be accessed by Mr. Kim or myself.

Yes, ma'am.

About the notary. It must be notarized at JK.

Give that to the legal team.

Yes, ma'am.

How did this Mary Kim come under suspicion?

All the suspects were gathered at Que Sera Sera that night.

Han Usuk worked there.

Mary's husband, Wilshire Hayward, was there as well.

Wilshire? Wilshire Hayward was Mary Kim's husband?

They were together about 4 years or so, then she disappeared.

He remarried later.

How was she involved with the Que Sera Sera club?

They held an auction for her virginity at the club that night.

What's that?

Hey.

You take off again, we're all in for it!

Come on.

Get out here.

Well? Come on!

Let me introduce this beautiful girl who just stepped into our club.

Kim, Mary!

The brave gets the beauty? No.

The person with the most cash wins the beauty.

So how much are you willing to pay? Huh? Call it out!

Who will be the lucky one with the girl?

Five dollars!

You kidding?

Why? I figured we start with a fair price.

Ten dollars!

Fifteen dollars. Don't push private. I'm not backing down.

Alright. You win.

Five cents.

Twenty dollars.

And five cents.

Thirty dollars!

And five cents.

Eighty-six dollars!

Do I have to take off my discharge gift?

My eighty-six dollars and five cents.

Mary, come on. Let's go.

Steve, take your hands off.

Take your hands off, Steve.

See you real soon.

What was between Mary Kim and Han Usuk?

They lived in the same house.

The same house?

Were they family?

No. They both listed pimp Kang Mija's house as their place of residence.

Han Usuk has no other relatives? Besides his son.

Hard to say. No other family listed.

But there was a wife.

A wife?

Yes. So Sunae.

So Sunae? Sunae?

May I see that?

That's all. It appears the shock caused her to become mentally imbalanced.

Imbalanced?

Darling.

- Darling. - Sunae. It's time for your medicine.

Let's take our pills.

Could she... Be my mother?

Did Ms. Kim know she's my mother?

[Last Will and Testament]

You and Byungjun get the worst of it.

Byungjun's tuition is at Hyunjin's discretion.

She's placing Byungjun under Hyunjin's control.

Hyunjin will control JK and my son.

Don't worry. We'll change it.

It's not unexpected.

I was destined to take a $5M payoff and disappear, after all.

But there's someone that will be far more upset at this than I am.

Yunso.

I wonder how Yunso would react if she saw this.

Are you going to show this to her?

No.

When the holding company goes public, as majority shareholders in JK Medical...

Yunso and her husband will think they control JK.

Because they won't know Mother has bequeathed her shares to Hyunjin.

Their sense of victory will be exquisite.

Making their sense of betrayal that much worse.

I see. So we wait.

More important, Sunae.

I really should check on her.

Jihun may be watching me. Will it be all right?

I'll go alone.

I may never see her again.

If Jihun finds her, I may lose my last chance to explain.

So Sunae was transferred.

Transferred? Where?

Ah. Korean Medical Center.

Where's that?

Sunae.

Been doing okay?

- Excuse me, I'm looking for So Sunae. - So Sunae...

Mr. Om. Trouble.

I'm sorry I haven't been by. Things have been so hectic.

I know. I know.

You know? What?

I just... I just... Know.

Sunae. Do you miss Jihun?

I'm sorry.

I'll find a way for you to see him.

I've got a big fight ahead.

I'm going to pay them back for every one of those 18 years.

Do you understand?

Wait just a little more.

When it's over I'll tell Jihun everything.

How his father died, why I supported him in secret.

And my son.

My boy Johnny.

How my poor boy died.

Yes, what is it?

Jihun is there.

Jihun?

Where's room 1007?

Just around the corner.

Thank you.

Sunae, Jihun is coming.

I wanted to explain everything myself. But now he's here.

Sunae, I'm going.

Mary.

[Patient - So Sunae]

Ms. So Sunae. So Sunae report to Station 101, please.

If you know So Sunae's whereabouts, please call the station.

Have you seen a patient with short dark hair?

- No. - So Sunae.

So Sunae report to Station 101 please.

If you know So Sunae's whereabouts, please call the station.

- Anything? - No.

6549... 6549...

Did you go somewhere?

Yes. A patient was ill where I used to volunteer.

Where was that?

- The Flower Village. - Oh?

You know what tomorrow is?

We announce the new holding company.

Ah, yes.

I want to speak with you after the announcement.

About...

To clarify your role with JK Group regarding the holding company change.

As the old lady of JK Group, it's the least I can do.

Yes, ma'am.

Go on.

- Are you watching her? - Yes.

Check on this Flower Village what-not.

We've already done so. She was definitely there.

May I help you?

Insuk is under surveillance again?

Yes. Ms. Gong's orders.

Is there something going on with Insuk and Yunso?

Something you haven't written in your report?

No. We keep a record of any and all movements.

Yeah?

Why? Have you noticed anything odd?

I just worry about everything, with all that's happening.

You know tonight is the eve of the storm.

You should tell me if you notice anything.

No arbitrary actions like before.

Arbitrary?

When you called Ms. Jin, when Ms. Kim and Jihun were confined in Pyeongchang...

You made things difficult for me.

Oh, that? Guess you took it personally. Sorry about that. Really.

I hope you're more careful these days.

What do you mean?

Things are quite delicate here now.

It's best to be careful until you know friend from foe.

Now, why would you give me advice?

As someone who knows Ms. Gongs plans, I'm merely investing in the future.

Is that how you lasted 20 years on the estate?

Perhaps.

Is everything arranged with Ms. Jin and Insuk?

Ms. Kim took care of it herself.

Herself?

She told Ms. Jin she didn't want to be a burden.

She suggested they sever ties.

Why do you ask?

No reason.

I don't want any trouble with Ms. Jin when JK Medical

is announced as the holding company.

Ms. Gong has Insuk under control. Don't worry.

What if Insuk isn't working alone?

You mean Han Jihun?

- Well. - He can't help her this time.

If you want to keep your position you'll keep quiet.

Not just Jihun. There's the other sister.

The other sister?

Nothing, just suppose the two sisters-in-law work together?

Couldn't that be a problem?

It's not likely, but if Yunso throws in with Insuk...

It's a good thing for you.

For me?

It would ensure you're the successor, rather than Dongjin.

But it's not likely.

They won't have forgotten losing to Insuk over the Dealain business.

Hyunjin.

The hero can appear suddenly from behind the curtain.

It's best not to worry too much. Just wait for your cue.

[JK Headquarters]

[JK Group Holding Company Press Conference]

As you saw in the press release, the JK holding company...

Is JK Medical.

Could you explain why you made this transition?

Our goals are efficiency, transparency, and protection against foreign incursions.

And have you named the JK Medical Director?

Jo Dongjin, my eldest son and the Director of JK Electronics.

That's right. Who's laughing now?

There were rumors that Kim Insuk's JK Club would be the holding company.

We considered it but changed our minds because of Kim Insuk.

As you know, she has become synonymous with noblesse oblige.

What if she were to donate the entirety of the holding company?

Like the late Doctor Yu.

She isn't included in the equity structure. Any reason for this?

To enable her to devote all her time to the charities of her choice.

She requested as much.

Does the appointment of Jo Dongjin as Director

indicate that he's to be your successor?

In the current company structure, he's the most likely candidate.

Then it's not settled yet?

Today we're talking about the holding company.

I hope I'm too young to discuss a successor JUST yet.

Holding out till the end.

For 10 minutes?

You thought you had it all.

Shut up.

[JK Estate]

Mother. I'm the same age as Dongho.

I've quit my bad habits cold turkey.

I know that.

And? You're treating me this way because I was born a little later?

It's not just that.

Then why does he have three times more stock than me?

Don't be ugly.

Why? So you can be next?

There are others here with no shares.

Don't overreact.

If I weren't blood, that's one thing, but aren't I your son?

You'll take over our U.S. holdings.

What's that supposed to mean? Why send me away?

Mother.

In the current administration, your father-in-law is out.

We tried to acquire a key position for him but Ms. Jin declined.

The writing's on the wall.

Got the picture?

Insuk, I suspect you want to talk to me.

Come along.

Disappointed?

Yes.

Didn't you know it wasn't for you?

You may think you can use Mr. Han, but you should stop dreaming.

If you don't want Jihun hurt.

Guess he's hit his limit as well.

He isn't glued to you per usual.

He has nothing to do with all this.

Just as well.

And with Ms. Jin, as you said, you're a kite without a string.

You'd be wise to count your blessings.

Enjoy it while you can. This will be the last time.

What are you looking at?

You can go.

Try to rest.

Uh-huh.

You'll have sleepless nights, grinding your teeth in anguish.

Like you gave me for 18 years.

You take care of Insuk?

K's not up to anything?

Nothing.

Why? What is it?

Is something bothering you?

The look in her eyes.

Like she had nothing to lose.

All these years she's made me uneasy.

I'm beginning to think I'll soon know why.

Check again. Leave nothing to chance.

Okay.

Congratulations, Yunso. That divorce routine really paid off.

Congratulations, she says. You seem very relaxed.

Of course. I'm just not as pouty as Dongmin.

You see an upside to this?

Oh, my belief in my mother, maybe?

Yunso, you're really something.

How did you get Mother to change her mind?

Was it your divorce routine?

Or the Guseong money laundering routine?

I feel bad about you going to America.

- You pity me now? - What do you want from me?

"Power is fleeting, money is forever."

Now I see what you meant. In my bones.

Just you wait, I'll live longer than you. And our marriage is a lot better.

We'll see who outlasts who!

Happy?

You like coming out on top?

I see that you do. Hang onto it.

It's not over yet.

Once Mother marks you, she never changes.

She won't stop thinking you're incompetent.

Not in this life.

Or that you're trash.

So I know better than to hope. I gave up on that long ago.

Very observant of you.

Take care of the directorship while I'm gone.

When I get back, I'd much prefer working for you

than Hyunjin.

So that's why Mr. Yang shuffled me off to CID.

No doubt. Word is, Yang got himself promoted.

Did Jihun know about this or not?

Sir.

We found it. Johnny Hayward's passport.

Where?

A passport fence in Myungdong.

Where'd you get this?

I don't remember.

Punk.

Spit it out.

I make deals all day long, how can I remember one?

I swear.

Give.

I don't know anything. We pay $100 for a passport, that's it.

Just confess. No need to play tough with us.

This guy, he was killed in the park a few days ago.

You know what possession of his passport means?

He was murdered. Now stop playing.

Why is it always me?

Who did you get it from?

I scammed it. In the second park game.

Second what-now?

It's a con they run at night. Drop stuff in, one guy wins.

A con? A touch?

It's circumstantial at best.

But enough to go on.

We can reopen the case.

Jihun. Here.

You sure?

Hey, who ran his own detective agency? I can't find one rental car?

Who are you looking for? Give us something.

My mother. So Sunae is my mother.

Your mom? Really?

Jihun.

- His mom? - It's his mom!

- Call. - Fold.

Four of a kind.

Read it and weep.

- Don't move. - Sit down!

Hello. I'm a lawyer with JK. You work for Mr. Om?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Sorry, but I catch on quick. I saw you at the casino.

You're making a mistake.

You're working with Mr. Om.

[Mr. Om]

Yeah.

You take care So Sunae?

I was wondering the same thing.

You take care of my mom? Where is she?

I'll tell you this.

Think what will happen to JK when Mother dies.

Did you get Mother's will from Mr. Om?

I told you to.

If I ask him, he'll run straight to Mother.

Why do you keep asking?

I guess Mr. Om is no pushover.

Yes.

I have a parting gift for you.

Want to see it?

What's done is done. Why should I bother?

Is it done?

Mother said it's not decided yet. Don't you wonder why?

Is that your parting gift?

You want a peek?

This is Mother's will?

Yes. The latest version.

How can I believe you?

Then never mind.

Put it down.

Don't expect me to lose it if she gave Hyunjin a few more shares.

See for yourself.

W-Where... Where is this will?

A private bank in the Virgin Islands. Box 361.

If this is a fake...

I'll never forgive you.

I'll expose all your little tricks.

I hope it is a fake, for your sake.

But even if you think it is, you're bound to feel uneasy.

But if it isn't a fake...

You can run the estate in name only.

Or keep wrestling mother for power.

One or the other.

It's your choice. I won't force you.

Why are you including me? So you won't have to fight alone?

Yes. I told you we're in the same boat.

Well, thank you.

For not sending me off with nothing after 25 years here.

You just didn't see it.

The whole time you called me "K,"

you and Kijung thought you got special treatment.

But Mother cares nothing for her daughter-in-laws

other then what she got out of the marriage.

Encouraged us to fight among ourselves while she prepared the way for Hyunjin?

Including sending the youngest off to America?

Couldn't we fight this in court?

Invalidating the stock transfer is a declaration of war.

It's nothing for JK's legal team.

What then? How can we beat her?

You have the weapon in your hands.

What will you do?

The son of the great Ms. Gong... Divorced.

Now that should stir things up.

Yes.

The war of the JK Daughters has begun.

Where's Mr. Om?

Huh? I don't...

It happened faster than we thought.

Jihun knows we moved Sunae.

Jihun?

So?

And Sunae? Where is she? Is she alright?

Jihun.

Ms. Kim.

JK's second daughter-in-law. JK Club's Director.

Ms. Noblesse Oblige herself.

Or should I say, Mary Kim?

Shall we go for a ride?

Mr. Han?

Okay.

Wilshire, am I supposed to thank you?

How could you, Wilshire, buy me?

Steve... Steve's a bastard.

A rat bastard.

You know that guy that was trying to buy you?Steve?

Even last month, he killed a Korean girl.

But he was found innocent.

Just walked away freely.

He killed a Korean girl.

That's why. That's why I bought you.

I just wanted to say you.

I wanted to save you.

Wilshire, here we are. Thank you, Wilshire, for saving me.

Mary. Next week, I have to go to America.

Will you come with me?

Will you come with me to America?

Wilshire, I'm not that kind of girl.

I look easy to you?

Hey, Mary. Come on, you're misunderstanding me.

You said you wanted to study. Why not be a nurse in America?

Mary, Mary.

Goodnight, Wilshire.

Goodnight, Mary.

Pssh. Goo-goo eyes.

Jihun will be happy.

Ms. Kim. You. You're too perfect.

Kim Insuk. This Kim Insuk person.

Poor picked on K that wanted to help an innocent murder suspect.

Who wanted to be a person.

But people...

People don't act that way.

If I'm hurting, I hurt others.

If I can get ahead,

I suck up to those in power, no matter who it hurts.

So I can get ahead, too.

That's what people do. It's natural.

But...

But not you.

You never lost sight of what's good for me.

The only way I could explain it is by thinking you're an angel.

You were a mother to me. A sister...

A mother. A sister...

But...

You were a person.

A person I respect and appreciate.

Mary Kim.

When I thought you were Johnny's mother, even then I felt that way.

I told you.

People can lose a liver, a kidney, but to lose a child?

There must be a reason. A sad and terrible reason.

So.

The next question.

The next question can't be answered.

Your own son is dead. How can you smile again?

And even look happy?

Is that possible?

Mary Kim, who may have murdered Steve.

Who is involved in my father's death.

Who kept my mother locked in an institution for 20 years.

And scariest of all, who hid all those facts

and pretended to rescue me from the desert.

Who dumped me in the desert only to rescue me.

Mary Kim or Kim Insuk? Who are you?

You can't be both, not to me. Which is the real you?

What good would it do?

What good is the truth?

The truth...

Will save me.

I'd give anything to understand you.

So tell me.

If you can tell the truth, if you can give me one good reason...

I'll die trying to understand.

No, you won't.

You're already starting to see me as Mary Kim.

If I told you all the unbelievable things that happened to Mary Kim,

you wouldn't believe me.

You just hope you'll believe me at this point.

In your heart, I'm already guilty.

I said I'd understand. Or die trying.

So tell me. Please.

What...

What I can tell you...

Help me. Please.

Stop. Please, stop.

You father died for me.

Please. Help, someone!

Mary.

It's you.

The CID was after me because of your father's death outside Que Sera Sera.

You guessed I was at the scene.

Every time I think of it, I wonder, was there another way?

Mary.

Why does it always happen to me?

Was there no other way?

Be clear. No talking sideways, no dodging.

What are you to me? To my father, my mother?

Give me proof.

Prove to me that you're a human being.

Show me some proof. Please.

Johnny.

I could have told you before he died.

But now...

Now I can't.

Why? Why can't you?

You...

Your Johnny...

Your son!

Jihun.
