Men liking younger women, hardly a new story.

Ever read Frazer's The Golden Bough? Sleep holding a child grants youth.

Tiger's flesh gives strength and courage. Liver enlarges the soul.

So the desire for younger women is human nature.

Even today.

I was glad to see you sneak after a young thing behind your wife's back.

You're not like those other congressmen. Your record is spotless.

You, your sons, all the men in your family served full terms in the military.

Charity work, daily exercise, weekly hikes.

Then your cholesterol rises and you fast.

But doesn't that make your hair fall out? That's what they say.

Ooh, nice hair.

Whoa. You're perfect. That's why I pity you.

Too perfect. You can't live like that.

You need one or two flaws to keep from going nuts.

Golf, maybe. "Congressman, nice shot."

Arm straight enough?

Hostess bars, gambling. Take up flower arranging, cross-stitching.

But not you! Absolutely nothing!

What is this? What do you want?

Sorry. I'm rambling.

But you got a lassie. A young lady.

At last. Good for you.

And better for me.

I needed your weakness.

Whew. The trouble you put me through to find it.

You like girls? That's up to you. But for a congressman to sink so low?

So?

I don't need money.

You know you can't bargain with a man that doesn't need money, right?

Let's get to the truth.

The whole...

Truth.

[Episode 1]

[JK Group]

Presenting the 2011 S/S Season Shoes Show.

First, we have ankle boots combined with sandals.

A unique style, where you can enjoy ankle boots in the summer.

This sandal features suede that is wild and luxurious.

The corsage is the feature of our corsage point strap sandal.

Here we have the 2011 S/S Season dress shoes.

The crystal embroidery and strap detail highlight this lovely item.

Equally lovely is our red satin shoe.

The pointed style adds a sizzle to any ensemble.

Observe the silver notes in our next design.

This new material makes for special shoes the ladies will love.

Here we have an open-toe high heel look.

Next, is an open-toe style perfect for any season.

The colorful, patent leather look makes for a charming design.

Equally unique are our open-toe pumps.

Next we have our luxurious gold sandals.

Note the jewels on the sandal straps for that extra panache...

Pills!

Bring the pills!

- I'm sorry. - Still here?

Got a death wish? Is that it?

Continue.

Ma'am. Next...

Insomnia is killing her and you won't give her the pills?

I'm sorry.

You're always watching. You know.

She can't sleep but 2 hours. She'll die at this rate.

- Ms. Gong's orders. - Orders?

My mother wants her to waste away?

She's overdosed before. She ordered no more pills.

- If we can find another way... - I'm a doctor.

I say do it, so do it.

Look at her. Look at her face.

Get it. Now!

What's all this?

I'm leaving this house with her.

We talked about this 18 years ago. All you asked for was her hand.

In exchange for my obedience, without question, but...

But?

I won't let you hold the power of life and death over her anymore.

He has an interview today?

Yes. For the children's cancer center.

Forget it. I won't let you use me anymore.

Noblesse oblige, as 2nd son of the JK Group.

It's the price you pay. Remember that.

Maybe. But forget it.

Mr. Om. Call Dr. Choi.

The psychiatrist? What are you up to now?

- Sleeping pills? Confer with Dr. Choi. - Mother!

You won't?

Yes, I won't. I know how you'd use the psych records.

Then you should stop.

I won't have you throwing a fit about K again.

K, K. Would you stop with K already?

She has a name. Why is it always K, K?

Our 5-year-old nephews call her K thanks to you.

Everyone knows she's your daughter-in-law no matter what.

Why does he even bother?

Why else? For K.

Ugh, I can't think.

Bad family, no background, not even famous.

Why marry where she's not wanted? Teacup in a tempest, huh?

Tempest in a teacup.

Well?

The designs are fine but I don't care for the materials.

Despite that, which would you position in the department stores?

I'd say SE3028 and SP5733.

You?

Oh, right, um, SP...

You?

JW2038.

The enamel?

Materials aren't the trend anymore. And these are hardly $4000 a pair.

It's the right market. At the right price.

We serve VIPs. What's this "right price"?

These days VIPs don't care for that.

They're tired of the same brands their friends have.

Shop 33 in Dongdaemun has A+ knock-offs that only cost $46.

They even offered after-sale service for my genuine shoes.

So where would you position them?

In Outlet 16.

Miss.

I know you want that store.

Just as you know how much it costs to run a 3600 sq. ft. retail location.

Hubby says that in New York, A&T...

How about the duty-free shop?

That's the right market at the right price. The Senorita line...

For mature ladies, perhaps.

But there is talk that JK sales would double without such mature influences.

You're not great shakes yourself.

We'll place them in stores.

Each of you will prepare a proposal on my reasons.

I don't know why, but I can't ever look Mother in the eye.

Wear those at my wedding?

No way!

O's or X's, we can't ever seem to match.

That's a fact.

Darling.

It's OK. Helicopters are much safer than cars.

- If your mother knew... - Don't stop me.

It's my last flight.

- Let's leave Korea. - Darling.

I'd rather be a dry cleaner in Harlem than stay here.

I need you to be strong.

Darling, are you sure?

If not for me you might inherit JK Group.

Instead, you're talking about dry cleaning.

I made up my mind a long time ago.

Will the unsolved orphanage murder ever be solved?

Pak Minkyung is live at the courthouse.

An orphanage murder that has remained unsolved for 15 years goes to trial today.

Korea was shocked when an orphan was accused of the brutal murder of another.

It now appears the true killer will be brought to justice.

With the statute of limitation running out the sudden retrial is causing a sensation.

The man that brought this case to light after all these years is

none other than the child once accused, Prosecutor Han Jihun.

YGN news, Pak Minkyung.

The truth is, the man who committed the heinous murder 15 years ago...

Is the defendant, Choi Jaesik, the Director of the orphanage.

He planted another orphan's teddy bear at the scene.

This simple ploy cast blame on an innocent boy.

Second, his alibi.

His alibi was so solid he was never even considered as a suspect.

With the statute of limitation just one month away, he has kept to his story.

Who exactly provided that alibi?

My friend, Kim Sungsu.

The state calls Congressman Kim Sungsu.

- Witness... - I'm guilty of perjury.

At the time I believed what my friend Jaesik told me.

I wasn't with him on that night 15 years ago.

You! What are you...

All these years I've carried the burden of allowing a murderer to go free.

You...

How could a congressman commit perjury?

Order! Order!

Order!

I also call the man who provided an alibi for the defendant.

Chairman Pak Sangchun.

Jihun!

Well, well, what will you do?

It's the way of the world. The world that only remembers the strong.

The truth? Has the truth won?

You're powerless. I've got influence.

I'm a prosecutor.

So your friend spilled his guts. A great memory, too.

Down to what color shirt, which he didn't recall wearing 15 years ago.

But why frame me?

Fifteen years old and accused of killing a little kid.

Don't talk to me about justice.

Not one word.

Don't you feel any guilt for killing seven-year-old Hyunju?

- Prosecutor Han, how do you feel? - Like a good stiff drink.

In one month, this crime would have gone unsolved.

Were you driven by your personal involvement?

Maybe. Maybe not.

You had a supporter, didn't you?

- A supporter? Who? - Attorney Kang Ilsik?

Ah, the attorney that got him acquitted.

The finest lawyer, tuition paid in full. Pretty sweet for an orphan.

- Is it true? - Who was it?

Of course, I have a supporter.

An angel.

- Dongho? - In his helicopter.

Sell it. He's no child. It's dangerous.

Ma'am.

Don't egg him on. If you can't sleep, don't bother him with it.

Talking about your bedroom problems.

Didn't you say all you needed was him?

So you have him. What's the problem?

There is none.

Go ahead.

Ma'am. Last Monday she went to the nursing home.

Tuesday she had a video conference with the Harvard provost about Byungjun.

- When's he coming back? - Next month.

- Continue. - Today she's going to Taeyang House.

- She should leave soon. - Cancel it.

I only allowed because she said being busy would help her sleep.

But it hasn't.

No, please.

Sleep then. Why can't you? Just do it already.

I'll try.

Ma'am, 70 more bowls here. 70.

- We have to eat all 100 bowls? - Sure. A 15-year-old bet is still a bet.

Obstinate. Great, let's eat. Until our stomach's burst.

Hey, The Three Orphans.

What's this? Your idea of a celebration?

Yeah, Prosecutor Kang, get busy. We have to eat 100 bowls.

100?

My dad says congratulations.

Is Attorney Kang doing all right? I should visit him.

Ugh, forget it. Judge, prosecutor, he can't stand his son on the law's side.

Why aren't you eating? We got to get busy so we can finish.

This was little Hyunju's favorite.

Mr. Macho, I swear.

Jihun, thank you.

Does Ms. Kim know?

Today's her day at the orphanage.

Come back in three hours.

Perhaps I could go in and help?

Again?

If you wear yourself out...

Do I look worn out to you?

Give me time alone, if only when I'm here.

I won't do anything. Please.

A big hand!

Now that's clean.

When your mom comes, say, "I'm so clean." Go.

Your turn.

Is something wrong?

Here, scrub-scrub.

What is it?

I'm fine. It's a scratch.

Vice Principal! Goeun, get in here!

- Enough, I'm okay. - This look okay to you?

- Somebody got hurt? - Don't you have any volunteers?

You make an injured lady work?

Look, look, here.

Oh, no, you got hurt?

Did something happen?

No, just putting up some glass at home.

Like a rich lady has to do that.

What, did you and the hubby have a fight?

Nonsense.

Something happened to me.

I finally cleared my name of the murder today.

Today was the retrial.

Thank you, Ms. Kim.

Why? Be happy.

I am. Very much so.

They are totally cheating.

Ugh, you. Not too crude. They look nice.

Yeah, it would be crude, cheating with an angel like that.

Lucky guy. Ms. Kim's is one gorgeous angel.

What do I get?

Relax. You got me, huh?

Congratulations.

It's so great, I'm so glad. And so grateful.

Then it's time we told.

About my sponsor.

The media love this kind of thing.

"A conglomerate's wife helps an orphan become a prosecutor."

My mother-in-law wouldn't. She didn't give permission.

I'm not suspected of murder now. I'm a credit to JK, not a debit.

All the same.

I hear you and your husband are helpless.

Ms. Gong gives subsidiaries to each of her children.

And you and the doctor are stuck with charity work.

It's not like that.

My eyes can see, my ears can hear.

Those prissy sisters pick on you, don't they? Huh?

It's not like that. They're nice.

Nice. Of course, they are. Don't tell me, I can tell.

Some prosecutor you are.

[New Message - Congrats]

[Party for you tonight at Hongdae Nightclub]

Go on. They're congratulating you.

Ma'am, it's time.

On my way.

Time to be Cinderella again.

Don't worry about me. Have fun tonight, alright?

Jihun.

You'll be okay without me now?

You'll make it on your own?

Goodness.

You've been drafted for service? What's that about?

Bye.

I'm Attorney Kang Ilsik. This boy is in my charge.

Excuse me.

What's with you? You my mom? Got the guilts for abandoning me?

When did you have me? 12? 13?

- It's not like that. - Whatever!

- Then what is it? - Jihun.

I'm a killer. Aren't you scared?

No, you're not. I believe in you.

You alright? Did you eat?

I'm fine. Not to worry.

I'll head over to Yangpyeong.

You sure? They're calling for snow. You see any?

Not yet. I'll swing over Yangpyeong and head on back.

Just get your passport ready. I'll handle the rest.

Doctor, you shouldn't fly today. The snow clouds are heading south.

Don't over-react. I checked the weather.

I can handle a couple inches of snow.

Let's fly together.

- When did you get your license? - '97.

Then I've got 5 years on you. I got this before I got my medical license.

Relax. I've flown in blizzards in the Alps.

- Doctor. - Move.

Let's try another place. I'll never live it down if the paparazzi catches me.

I'm interviewing a guy here. Paparazzi free.

Interview, sure. One of your pretty boys.

The harder they play. How's Mr. Black Suit?

Same as ever.

You know him?

Same law school. He's famous.

He passed the bar, foreign and civil service exams.

You know he was arrested for murder when he was young?

- Murder? - Acquitted.

Today he put the real killer behind bars.

- You okay? - Sorry.

Um, here.

Ms. Pak. You two are friends?

You owe me an interview now.

Ms. Pak, sorry!

He met a friend in Yangpyeong. He left 3 hours ago.

What friend?

He asked Dr. Im to help him leave the country.

This way. Hurry. This way!

Make Dr. Im the hospital director.

That should help him to refuse Dongho.

Ma'am.

Have Om keep a close eye on Dongho.

Ma'am!

- It's early, what is it? - Ma'am.

Dr. Jo...

- 150 joules. - 150.

1, 2, 3, clear!

- 200 joules. - 200.

1, 2, 3, clear!

I have to call it. Doctor Jo Dongho, time of death, 5:53 a.m.

Dongho.

Dongho...

Dongho.

Dongho.

K?

She doesn't know. Mother said to keep it quiet.

[My Darling]

Yes?

Yes, of course.

Ms. Gong has asked for you in Dr. Jo's office.

- At the hospital? - Yes.

[JK General Hospital]

You recognize this?

Our prenuptial agreement.

Read Clause Seven.

Read it.

In the event of the first party's death, the second party shall receive in trust...

Why are you...

All of it.

Contingent on forfeiture of all claims on the family, whether personal or property.

Dongho's dead.

And you... Are no longer a part of JK.

Mother.

And you... Killed him.

Your husband is dead.

I won't cry with the likes of you.

If you plan to honor this agreement, you may come to the funeral.

If not... You're on your own.

Mother.

[Doctor Jo Dongho]

You were meant to read your books, save lives... Not die.

What? What's that again?

The 2nd son of JK Group is dead.

Who told you?

Mr. Yang. JK is under investigation.

We had an appointment to audit some books, but they called.

Mr. Yang turned pale and said he had to go.

Dr. Jo died in a helicopter crash.

Mr. Yang went to school on a JK scholarship.

Hey, I'm off to the wake. You take over!

Any excuse, I swear.

You should go.

Should I?

Secret or not, but her husband's dead. You've got to show up, it's only right.

Good point. It's only right.

- Give us a quote! - Or we'll make it up!

Service for Doctor Jo?

They reserved the building. The memorial hall is on the first floor.

Ah, right.

No words can express my grief at your loss.

Thank you for paying your respects.

And, um, your mother...

Mr. Kim.

- I'm counting on you. - Don't worry. I'll handle it.

What brings you here?

Ah, yes, sir. I was acquainted with Dr. Jo.

Introduce yourself to Ms. Gong.

Of course.

My condolences at your loss. Han Jihun, ma'am.

Thank you.

Han is a prosecutor. He solved a 15-year-old murder case, a real star.

I see. That's quite impressive for one so young.

But how did you and my son...

I owed a lot to Dr. Jo, ma'am.

He was a great man. He'll be missed.

- Welcome, Mr. Yang. - It's been too long.

Come again? K?

Collapsed.

Just like her.

It's bad enough worrying when Mother will explode.

K's always a time bomb.

Oh, sit. You know each other?

Been a while. What brings you here?

- I was acquainted with the deceased. - You said guys like him give you a pain.

- They still do. - So it's all because of K?

Sure it is. He went flying after a huge blow-up.

Why, why?

They wouldn't give her sleeping pills. Insomnia was killing her.

She comes between him and his mother. Then she ends up killing him.

Ms. Gong must be heart broken.

Didn't know her place. Marrying into a conglomerate.

- After the money, of course. - Money?

The pre-nup doesn't give her a cent.

Knowing Ms. Gong, she's lucky she wasn't buried alive.

K, I swear.

Who's this K?

- Dr. Jo's wife. - What?

There she is. K.

Take it away.

Take...

It...

Away?

Take it away.

Take it away?

Take it away. It...

It...

You OK?

Bad glass? Or am I too strong?

I'll go clean up.

What the...

You killed him.

Making a scene.

Don't put on airs. You think you're the only one hurting?

Get hold of yourself. Or you won't get a penny.

Well, it all works out.

I mean, Dongho didn't have any asset.

If he did, with K and all, oh, what a headache.

No land, no stock, so no problems later.

Would you shut up?

- What? Am I wrong? - Would you...

Enough. We buried our brother. Show some respect.

What about the custody of Byungjun?

The prenuptial agreement grants you $50K in cash...

and 20% of the deceased's life insurance.

The $50K will be deposited in your account tomorrow.

You'll get the insurance money when the policy is settled.

You have another option.

You can make $5 million.

Give up the custody of Byungjun.

Give up the custody of Byungjun and I'm authorized to give you $5M.

Never.

Ms. Gong is being very considerate here.

Think about the future. It's for the best.

Never.

Try to rest.

Byungjun, I'd never give you up. Not for all of JK.

If you ask me...

Take it.

Byungjun.

Don't you see? This isn't a family.

Take the money and leave them to themselves.

I'll be your son again.

Grandmother has to die someday.

Then.

She said no?

Maybe if we gave it a little time.

No. If not now, we might never get the chance.

I did the same with Dongho. I didn't want him hurting so I gave him K.

I should have driven them apart, whatever the cost.

Something about her always bothered me.

With Dongho dead, now I know why.

If she won't, she won't. I have no choice.

- But that could... - I know.

But I've got to.

You attempted suicide.

It wasn't suicide.

You took an excess of the prescribed dosage of sleeping pills.

That's because I couldn't sleep.

Do you experience hallucinations? Delusions?

Pardon?

Perhaps insects crawling on you? Or people after you?

Never.

It's been suggested your insomnia is caused by anxiety.

They say you're seeing things.

Take it away.

This prosecutor business is a sucker's bet.

The JK case is closed. Some morals, huh?

That's power right there.

Hello.

It's me. You busy?

You hear from Ms. Kim?

Goeun called to see where she was and they said she'd been committed.

Committed? Why? Where?

I don't know. They said she's sick, but that's about it.

- Why wouldn't they say? - Alright.

I'll call you back.

- Someone in the hospital? - Ms. Kim.

Why? Call her.

- I don't have the number. - What? After all these years?

Does that make sense to you?

That's my point.

Fifteen years she's helped me and I still don't know anything about her.

Hello. You're a prosecutor. Is there any number you can't get?

Want a warrant?

Nothing?

Yes. Nothing for Kim Insuk.

- You checked all three providers? - Yes.

Her last number was from 1998.

Even the homeless have cell phones. Nothing?

Exactly. A first for me, outside of scum.

Okay. Her card, then.

Kakchi. There.

We looked into her cards, but...

What? Nothing?

No. She has one. You ready for this?

- What? - That is...

See for yourself.

[$1,756,000]

There's no mistake?

I've checked it 5 times already.

In one month? $1.7 million?

And $56K.

Where?

Well...

Well what? Does it get worse?

- Jeongseon. - Jeongseon?

- In the Gangwon area? - Yes.

- Why there? - What does Jeongseon bring to mind?

Casinos. Why would she go there?

Why else?

Kim Insuk was a gambler?

You know what this means?

Do you see why I had you committed?

Jihun, we just left the mental hospital.

Keep on it. I'll call you later.

- Mr. Kim. - Yes, sir.

Kim Insuk card had $1.7M, right?

And $56K.

So she had a gambling addiction?

So it would seem.

A gambler. An addict.

If she's unfit...

You don't think...

You've been declared incompetent. Schizophrenia, they say.

Your condition deteriorated after Dongho's death.

Your shopping addiction, the gambling.

It pains us, but we have to have you committed.

You're returning home today.

Tomorrow you'll spend $100K shopping, the next day, $200K at a casino.

Kim Insuks you've never met will be shopping and gambling in your place.

Mother.

Let's end this quietly.

The JK files. I want them.

- I'd like to see Ms. Gong. - Do you have an appointment?

No, but I'd like to see her.

I'm sorry. You'll need an appointment.

What? Is this the Blue House?

Yes, of course.

That was security. You should stay inside until the gate situation is resolved.

What situation?

Let go. Hands off!

What's this?

He insists on seeing Ms. Gong.

Prosecutor Han Jihun. I'd like a word with Ms. Gong.

Seoul District Attorney's Special Task Force.

I'm with the District Attorney's Special Task Force.

On official business. Get me Gong Sunho!

May I see some identification?

Let me go first.

Prosecutor Han?

Still playing the tough guy.

Hands off.

You know me?

Enough.

Enough to know we can't chase you off. So follow me.

Well?

[JK Group Investigative Report]

Prosecutor Han Jihun insisted on seeing Ms. Gong.

What do you want?

Bringing this yourself, you must want something.

Of course.

What is it? Tell me.

What I want...

What I want...

Kim Insuk.

I want Kim Insuk.
