Mary!

Mary.

Why must you take everything?

At least you got to hold your boy, cradle him...

His passport and wallet were missing?

We thought it was robbery. But there's no sign of a struggle.

All lies.

There is no day of joy.

Isn't it odd that a grown man brought a teddy bear to a foreign land?

- His father's name? - Wilshire.

There's a problem. All you can see is Insuk.

[Episode 10]

You're sure?

Yes, sir. It's the same as the bear in that old orphan case.

[Han Jihun]

Uh-huh.

Hey, Kang Chungki. You all rookies down at C.I.D.?

What kind of canvassing is this? Use some common sense.

Who can stumble around for 30 minutes with a knife wound?

The bear? He had it in his studio apartment until he moved to the estate.

Listen, Kakchi's pretty worried. How's the case going?

Nothing yet. Don't mention this to Jihun.

All right.

You see it? That teddy's just like Jihun's.

It's nothing, right? He won't be framed like before, right?

From the orphan case when Han Jihun was accused of murder.

It's the same bear.

Teddy bears all look alike.

I worked on that case.

I compared the photos. The size and material match.

It's likely the same manufacturer.

In that case, shouldn't we summon Han Jihun as a witness?

Your witness is here.

What are you doing here?

That's some scary rookie you got there.

You don't get the CCTV so you summon the whole building?

We'll show them the highest respect.

Canvas the neighborhood, that's how you hit luck.

You need my help?

- We'll talk in my office. - Let me see.

These his effects? I'll help.

Here.

Wilshire. What are you doing here?

Tell me.

Why did you bring Wilshire down here?

Come on, we need to talk.

This is Exhibit A.

Case No. 2011-3499.

Hey.

In the Johnny Hayward murder case.

What's the idea? I told you he's not involved.

Aren't you curious at all?

I'm dying to know the connection between the bears.

There are hundreds of bears like that. Try to...

I need this.

What?

All you've got is Johnny's record, right?

The Que Sera Sera Club. What's that?

- A US servicemen's club. - A GI club?

The restaurant next door used to be the Que Sera Sera.

Ten years ago it was the hottest spot in Itaewon, didn't you know?

Aside from that, can you remember anything else?

Ah, right. Manse. He asked what "manse" means.

Manse?

- This? - Yep.

[manse, manse, manse...]

Manse?

Manse?

- Something to drink? - I'm good, thanks.

Wait, did you explain what "manse" means?

Manse means manse. What's there to explain?

[Jo Hyunjin]

- What? - You took the day off?

- I'm kind of busy. Later we... - Where are you?

First the bar and now here?

You looking for someone?

Is it because I quit smoking? I'm craving candies.

Welcome.

Are you sick?

You don't sell lollipops?

Huh? Pardon?

Why would a pharmacy sell candy?

Didn't this used to be a shop?

Games over there.

Ice cream there.

When do you mean?

Right? It was a store, right?

Twenty years ago. My mother ran it.

What's going on?

Do you know me?

Pardon? No. Did you want some medicine?

Did you live here?

Jihun, we got it!

We found the guy that sells Wilshire bears.

How old is this? What's this about?

Did you make this?

No, not me. I just sold them.

The factory was next to the old firehouse.

- Some eyes, buttons maybe... - What does that old man know about Itaewon?

I see.

Do you recognize this?

- Look closely. There's a name sewn on. - A name?

Embroidered by hand.

- Ah, that? It was all the rage. - How so?

The American GIs used to give them to their sweethearts.

Sewed on their names, John, Michael, Bill, you name it.

We sold tons of them, I mean.

But what's this one say?

Wilshire. Wilshire.

Were there a lot of bears with "Wilshire" on them?

- Bound to be. - But it's an unusual name.

Pssh, with the tens of thousands of GIs, there's more than a few Wilshires.

Wilshire? He's looking for Mary.

- If you can remember anything else... - Not likely.

You got a card?

Here.

A lawyer, huh?

Yes.

This isn't a suit, is it? Nothing to do with the cops?

Not at all. I'm looking for someone.

If it isn't Prosecutor Han?

One step ahead of us. Find anything?

Not yet. Thank you.

Come on.

Wilshire.

Mary, so you don't know me? But they're looking for you at my house.

Mary. Just wait.

Stop dragging me around and talk to me.

I'm not dragging you. You found me.

If you must know, this is Chungki's case. I'm helping him out for fun.

- Some fun, using your day off. - Listen up.

My contract doesn't require me to hang out with you.

I'm tired. Bye.

- Any progress? - No, none.

- And teddy bear? - I told you that's nothing.

His dad's name was Wilshire.

What? Wilshire was his dad?

It's just a coincidence. I'll look into any connection.

You're in the private sector now. Get back to work.

[JK Estate]

What have you decided about K?

I told you to stop calling her that.

Ah. So you did.

Now that she's close to the First Lady, no more of this K, K business.

No need for that.

Nothing will change, First Lady or no First Lady.

You're Royal Family by blood. Insuk can only rise so far.

You'll have your rightful place when the time comes.

- Until then... - When is "then" exactly?

My patience is at an end.

I'm getting divorced.

I'd rather be divorced than be humiliated like this.

Did you forget your prenup?

JK women are widowed but never divorced.

Your family had no real power then, so you can see the disadvantages.

Think carefully about what divorce will cost you.

Indeed, you may someday run JK.

"Indeed?"

You used Guseong for your money laundering schemes.

That alone is enough to ensure I have no regrets.

What is it you want?

Your assurance that I will run JK.

If you can do that, I'll stay.

- If not... - If not?

You'll see the first divorce in JK history.

Director, JK Group Holding Company. My friend.

And you. My friend. First Lady of the Republic of Korea.

Such is life.

When we first met as volunteers, you were locked into the JK household...

And my husband was in prison as a political dissident.

So he was.

This is your time.

Mine? You mean yours.

No. I can only go down from here. All that's left is for you to press forward.

Press where exactly?

JK Club isn't even the holding company yet.

Lobbying already?

I talked out of turn.

You came into some stock?

Yes. Yunso gave them to me.

Good, I'm so glad.

Congratulations, Insuk.

Ms. Gong will tread lightly now that you hold stocks.

Gain influence, little by little. And take your fair share. Quietly.

Yes. I will. I won't let anyone take away what's mine again.

Now I see the venom.

[JK Headquarters]

Huh? Transfer the holding company?

You're transferring the holding company?

Tell them.

Ms. Gong intends to transfer the JK Group holdings

away from the JK Club.

As you know, Ms. Kim holds stock in the JK Club.

There's concern there may be attempts to wrest control away from the group.

As are we.

We're losing family shares.

At this point is it even possible to transfer the holdings?

Enough. She's made her decision.

First, you praise Insuk to the heavens and now you change your mind?

If you're uncomfortable laundering money through Guseong, I can...

Yes, I am.

And I won't have it.

Insuk makes me uncomfortable.

I thought I'd put up with her until Baek Hyungin was the lame duck.

But thanks to your foolishness, Insuk is a stockholder.

Now we'll have to ease her out. And prepare for when I'm gone.

I'll look for an appropriate affiliate to transfer the holding company.

What about Ms. Jin?

Find something to drive between them.

They're remarkably close. Won't there be a fall-out?

I've been dealing with politicians for half a century.

When I pay they dance to my tune. No, they play my tune.

I'll find something.

Keep this in strict confidence. No one can know outside this room.

Especially not Han Jihun.

Mr. Baek, don't allow him access to this information.

You may rest assured, ma'am.

Hyunjin?

We'll keep this from Hyunjin.

For now.

Ma'am.

I have a question. Not as your counsel, but as your friend.

Do you still have your doubts about Insuk?

The others may not notice, but I do.

If you're suspicious...

Why not just ask Insuk yourself?

I think she was your husband's secretary, no more, no less.

What's harder on us than hate? Put these doubts to rest...

As a friend, you said.

You're the one that insists on treating me like a Chairwoman.

I'm not so young anymore, but I still have my pride.

You said you'd leave it be. Why the microscope?

But respectfully, ma'am.

Then I'll ask as your counsel.

What have you decided about Hyunjin?

Didn't you have her in mind as your successor?

Correct.

Dongjin will have power when we transfer the holding company.

But Hyunjin will get JK when I die.

You'll write my will, so I'm telling you now.

Yes.

On one condition.

She has to get over this crush on Jihun.

If she weren't a JK woman, she could love, be loved.

Live happily ever after.

Her being a JK women is a tragedy for her.

Nothing else has happened with Jihun?

No. Nothing in the latest report.

Are you sure Hyunjin and Dongmin don't know?

Yes. They won't have noticed yet.

It looks like Mother will name you her heir.

I said not to worry.

You going on about divorce to my mother.

Aren't you ashamed?

You don't know everything.

If I hadn't played the divorce card she'd never have done this.

Be grateful I'm so crafty.

Should I bow now?

Yes, if you have an ounce of conscience.

Not that anyone at JK does.

Thank you.

What's this?

We need your help with an important decision.

Which of these deserves to be the new tree stump?

What did you say?

What could I say? It's for Ms. Kim to decide.

Tell her the situation and let me know what she says.

All right.

They've polished the necklace you wore at the inauguration.

UNESCO called about making you a goodwill ambassador.

Mommy, it's K!

Insuk, my father sends his regards.

He hardly got to say hello at the inauguration.

- Tell him thank you. - I will.

Hi.

Say hello to your elders.

Hello, Auntie.

Hello.

K's the bigwig, you have to say hi.

Bad news.

The fortune teller called.

Ms. Gong is transferring the holding company.

- That's good. - Good?

You know me. The bad always follows the good.

The better it is, the worst it gets.

If things went too smooth I'd feel uncomfortable.

So it's good. Did he say where?

Wherever you want.

I suppose I've been waiting for this day.

When I go toe-to-toe with Ms. Gong.

The dread of losing it all. The fear.

I'll pay her back for everything she did these past 18 years.

Using JK's own tactics... Using her own tactics...

I'll pay her back.

[JK Club]

I told you that's nothing. His dad's name was Wilshire.

It's just a coincidence. I'll look into any connection.

Wilshire.

Wilshire.

Wilshire.

Coffee?

Anything else you searching for?

Go on. I'll be glad to help.

Your looking into the past is a good sign.

You're ending it with Insuk. There's hope for me.

Am I right?

You read too much into it.

At least it got you searching, right?

Hello.

Han Jihun?

Yes, and you are...

I'm in your lobby. Get down here.

Who is this?

Who are you? Hello.

Hello. Hello?

Mary. Mary Kim!

Mary?

Hey, Mary Kim!

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

- Who is this? - Who is it?

Hello. Say something.

Who is this? Mary? Mary Kim?

Hello. Well?

Say something.

I'll just scope out your digs.

Are you insane?

Oh, that's the Mary I know. Scary.

Shall we kick up a stink?

- Mary Kim? - Who's Mary Kim?

Mary Kim. Ring any bells?

Something to do with your real parents maybe?

[Han Jihun]

Fool the dead, but not me.

I thought you'd find me.

But I knew a little gambling money would shut you up.

Fickle brack.

Think you're in the royal palace, huh?

Turn me down three times for an appointment.

Why not say Kim Insuk is Mary Kim? You're perverse enough.

Are you crazy? And spit in my own food?

You haven't changed.

People die when they change.

How much? Think carefully. If it's a penny more than I think best...

What? You'll kill me?

Yeah, the first time's the worst. The second will be easier.

I need a number traced. It's for the case.

Ah, come on. I told you to do your job.

If you want to work on cases, come back to the DA's office.

Sorry, but I really...

This is my first case at the CID. I can't be mixed up with you.

You raised him well.

Han Jihun is Sunae's boy?

You're fishing. I don't know what happened to Sunae's son.

Fool the dead, remember? He's the image of his old man.

I figure you had enough conscience to want to dodge heaven's wrath.

Did it work?

You happy?

Yes, I'm happy. Very.

I told you, you can't fight fate.

None of this matters. You can't hide who you are.

Everything comes out in the end.

You're right.

But aren't I better off than you?

You know nothing about my life, but I know all about yours.

You sold your house in Itaewon. Now you're renting a mat in Gwanak.

That so?

One word from me and you're back in the gutter.

[Han Jihun]

Shall I tell Jihun?

About who made him an orphan? How grateful will he be then?

His savior? Savior?

How much?

All those years I cared for you. You make it big, you owe me.

Who'd of thought old Mija would end up like this?

How much?

A. T. M.

A never-ending supply of cash.

Jihun?

Yes.

He's our best bet for making trouble between Insuk and Ms. Jin.

It has the added benefit of distracting him while we move the holding company.

The JK Club.

You're going to see Insuk?

Yes. The new administration is making appointments this week.

The sooner the better.

She's in her office.

Thank you so much.

Off to the casino? Can't you stop gambling?

You my daughter now?

What brings you here?

Checking up on Insuk?

She had a visitor. Is she free?

Yes, ma'am?

100, 1,000, 10,000...

- May I ask why? - You see Ms. Jin the day after tomorrow?

- Yes. - I want you to ask her for a favor.

- A favor? - For Han Jihun.

Jihun?

What do you think of getting him appointed to the Blue House?

Mom.

You two meet all the time. People may talk.

Placing Jihun on her staff will make it easier to work together.

See what you can do.

I'll ask her.

Haven't you taken enough from Jihun?

You should think of his future.

Let me know as soon as possible.

Yes, ma'am.

Oh, is the panic room still there?

Mother.

I can't do it.

I don't want to be a burden to Ms. Jin. Please don't make me beg her.

Beg?

I'm not just Kim Insuk anymore.

As the JK Club Director, I have to keep the club's reputation spotless.

You are ambitious.

You mean your reputation as holding company Director and stockholder.

You'll do as you're told. If you want to keep what you have.

What are you up to? Why send Jihun to the Blue House?

Forget him. He and Insuk are both on their way out.

Mom.

When will you stop? Didn't you say Insuk's part of the family?

I told you. Trust slowly. And drop quickly.

Hello, Ms. Gong.

What was that about?

Did you find out?

Kang Mija, she turned tricks at the American GI clubs.

- A hooker? - A pimp.

Her record?

Detective Pak is looking but he hasn't located her yet.

- We'll continue this later. - Yes, sir.

This is an honor. What's the occasion?

Hyunjin has a question.

I'll be blunt. What have you got on Jihun?

Does it involve his mother? Come on, give me something here.

Divulge information on a current investigation?

Oh, not for the record or anything.

We're all friends here. I won't leak the story.

I've got my hands full reigning in Jihun.

You can relax. It doesn't involve him.

Got it!

I found Johnny's mother.

The American CID says his mother was a Korean named Kim, Mary.

It's confidential so all they would confirm is he's related to this Mary Kim.

What now? Come on, what now?

The rookie definitely said "Kim, Mary"?

Yeah. What's a Kimmary? A dessert? A restaurant, maybe?

Mary? Mary Kim?

- What's this? - Trace the number.

- Was somebody else snatched? - No.

You working on the murder case?

Jihun, stop, okay? You're freaking me out.

I got a bad feeling about this.

Must you? If you get mixed up in this...

She's right. You're better off not knowing.

Kim, Mary.

I've got to find out who Mary Kim is.

Shall I tell Jihun?

About who made him an orphan? How grateful will he be then?

Que sera sera, Que sera sera.

Off your tush, go on!

Yeah, yeah, Que sera sera this!

You can't fight fate. You're old enough to earn your keep.

And don't even think of running away.

They'd get you before you go across the 38th parallel.

She starts at my club today.

Now, now, she's still young. Maybe after she graduates...

What's a piece of meat need books for?

That makes her all fancy or something?

You'll end up in the papers.

"Madam Sticks High School Girls in Clubs."

Shut up! Yak-yak-yak, I swear.

She can't.

- Where's Jihun? - With Mary.

Ah.

Well?

Searching the casinos now.

Jihun heard the name "Mary Kim."

He can't find out who she is.

He won't if we keep him away from Mija.

Take care of this before he gets a chance.

I will.

I hoped we could avoid her. This is bad.

It comes down to Jihun.

He's my last pursuer.

You should have cut all ties.

No.

Jihun can...

Jihun can judge me.

He has that right.

But not JK.

JK, Ms. Gong, none of them has the right to judge me.

If JK drags me down now,

they'll judge me before Jihun has his chance.

And that...

Will not happen.

200.

200 and... All in.

Ugh. I'm out.

Drink. It's good for you.

Ms. Gong wants you to work at the Blue House.

What do you think?

Me and politics? Out of question.

More important. Wilshire.

I threw him out.

The reason I kept Wilshire all those years wasn't to find the killer or my mother.

It was because of you.

I didn't want to forget you.

Now I have to move on. So he's gone.

But...

Another Wilshire has turned up.

What?

That teddy bear has taken on a new meaning.

Wilshire.

I've had him since I was sent to the orphanage. Why was that?

The two Wilshires are connected somehow.

It's got me wondering.

And scared.

Maybe I'm better off not knowing.

So stop.

If you don't need to know who gave you the bear.

If you're happy.

If learning more will hurt you, stop now.

You said yourself. There's a reason you threw him out now.

Manse.

What's manse?

Manse. Manse. Manse.

Remind of anything?

I'm not sure.

Why so serious?

I guess Insuk is all you can see.

Anyway, there's progress in the search for your mother.

Mary.

Johnny's mother was named Mary Kim.

Mary.

Johnny's mother was named Mary Kim.

We found Mija.

She can't talk to Jihun.

Send her to Macau or Cebu.

Tell her we'll cover her at the casinos. That should do it.

We found her.

Oh? Where?

- An Itaewon casino. - A casino?

Look for an old woman in a black dress and a white hat.

Can I come? Let my hair down a bit?

Don't let Goeun find out.

Seven strikes and you're out, she said so.

Birds like feeders, what can I say?

- Good job. - Fighting.

Lady, you're out of money. Beat it.

Goodness! I said they're sending me cash, sheesh!

Yeah, yeah, pay what you owe, gamble, fart.

Just go, go. Okay?

There he is. My ATM.

Yeah?

Reservation for James Dean.

- You mind? - Nope.

You saw a lady in a black dress and a white hat?

Couldn't say.
