Original subtitles

What? Can't decide? You only have one other choice.

What might that be?

Give up everything.

All of it.

All of it?

Yes.

You can laugh later. For now, make the call.

Before things go bad for your son.

- Let me check. - No, I'll do it.

Get Dongjin.

Did your men take K?

Stop. If you don't want to be buried alongside her, stop now.

Happy?

Happy? It's just the beginning.

Are you acting like I didn't say to give up everything?

It shouldn't take long. I'll say it again.

By "all of it" I mean resign. Decide.

I'm fed up with covering their filth.

I'm thinking about letting K and Dongjin both go to jail.

You may have bet on the wrong horse.

Oh, what now?

Fruits of a JK lawyer's labors.

You were...

I hadn't made up my mind about Insuk. So I held onto this.

Hadn't? You've made up our mind?

In a way.

Anyway, you've threatened my mother, so if I didn't do this I'd be a real bastard.

Us orphans look after our moms.

Jihun, I think you misunderstood.

If I give this to the DA,

Ms. Gong, Hyunjin, you'll both be under investigation.

Of course, I'd be disbarred, but what's that compared to someone's life?

The reporters are drooling outside.

Shall I give them this?

How could you be so blind?

Yeah, so I'm blind. What child isn't with his folks?

Or a couple, for that matter.

Being blind is the only way to save Ms. Kim.

If you kept just one eye open, I could show you.

- Show me, then, if it's so easy. - This is a test.

For what exactly?

Your conscience. Your choices.

At this rate you'll lose all the trust, the feeling I have for you.

You'll be nothing but Insuk's pawn.

You know me. I can't resist passing a test.

Just go. Run away together.

Don't you two have open-ended plane tickets?

What? You need help?

Rich chick. Where's the attitude? Where did this come from?

I won't have JK turn into killers over people like you.

Then stop the people carrying the swords.

If we don't stop this, you and I, it will never end.

Back down. Stop now and you win.

It's not the end. Merely preparation.

Is there really no other way?

Should I bow and scrape because you would have died for my mom?

Didn't I say to report everything to me?

Was that just talk?

Am I still a kid you have to protect?

Jihun.

What were you thinking? Off you go to die without a word?

Goodness! What am I going to do with you?

I gave Ms. Gong an ultimatum. To give it all up.

I'm...

Resigning.

I lost.

Prepare an inauguration, Chairwoman.

Look after JK.

I will. I'll guard the tower you built.

A goodwill gesture.

How could I refuse?

Are you alright? Shall I call Dr. Yun?

I'm fine. Who am I?

I'm Gong Sunho.

I'm Gong Sunho.

Whatever anyone says, JK, this estate, is mine.

All mine!

Ma'am! Ma'am, ma'am!

Security! Security!

In a surprise announcement, Gong Sunho resigned her position as head of JK.

The decision comes amidst accusations against her eldest son, Jo Dongjin

regarding certain false accounts set up by JK Electronics.

For now, JK Club Director Kim Insuk will assume control of JK.

Ms. Kim, a widow of the late Jo Dongho,

is known throughout Korea as the epitome of noblesse oblige.

How her term as Chair will affect JK as a whole...

Chair, Kim Insuk Chair, Kim Insuk.

This is it. What I get in exchange for Johnny.

Found it.

Let's listen to the recording of

the 911 call you asked about.

911 Emergency.

Somebody's hurt. We need help. Hurry!

Where are you?

Forensics has established the size and shape of the weapon used on Johnny.

Now we know what killed him. What is it?

A paper knife. A letter opener.

Since the case centers around JK Club, we've confiscated their bladed weapons.

This one commemorated Director Kim's inauguration.

Sir, we found Kang Mija.

- The Itaewon pimp? - Yes, sir.

Macau kicked her out on drug charges. She's at the airport now.

It was my money, what's the problem? Huh?

Yeah, yeah, let's go. We'll talk in here.

Darn it!

You seem a little rough. I'll get to the point.

Yeah, thank you.

Who's Mary Kim?

[JK Club]

[First Lady Jin Sukhyang]

[JK Group Chair Kim Insuk Inauguration]

[Inaugural Address]

Mary. She wouldn't kill anyone.

Do I look like I'd believe a crackhead?

Suit yourself.

Why should I?

If she was gonna kill somebody...

The first on her list...

Would be me.

Mr. Kang.

Mija is on the JK Club CCTV tapes.

This just gets better and better.

Thank you for coming.

Congratulations.

Thank you. Both of you.

Why didn't you ask me to help you? I'm pouting now.

Where's our Harvard student? Your son should be here.

He called. He has to study.

Congratulations.

Thank you, Hyunjin.

I know who Mary Kim is.

You... Know?

So who is she?

You making me say it?

Bring her in. Or I'll get a warrant.

I need more time, Chungki.

For what? To cover things up?

Never mind. We're on our way.

Time to save Insuk, one last time.

Mr. Kim.

Yes, ma'am.

Proceed with the finale.

When she's blinded from basking in my light, as she called it.

When she's distracted with her new found glory.

We're about to begin.

I'm on my way.

Ms. Kim.

I lied to you.

I pulled a fast one.

Did you think I believed you?

Did you?

As if.

Why do you think I rescued you?

To take you out myself.

Take. You. Out.

To tear you down at the moment of your greatest success.

This is to avenge Johnny. Poor pitiful Johnny.

I put it together piece-by-piece just for today.

The CCTV that places you at the scene.

And this.

Your written confession. Very handy bit of evidence there.

But you're a crafty one. I had to block all your little loopholes.

So I had to act like I trusted you all this time.

Jihun.

You gave me all the pieces. I finally put them together.

Together?

The bear, getting me acquitted, supporting me.

You did it all for a reason.

You raised me to be your secret weapon.

For when poor little Insuk needed a sacrificial lamb to feed to big bad JK.

- It wasn't that. - Don't deny it.

I see you for what you are. I'm going to end it.

End? That's right.

What?

You're evil. A demon.

A criminal that would tear down the tower Ms. Gong built.

Steve's murderer.

Worst of all, a child-killing psychopath.

You're a killer.

Stop it!

No, not until you admit it.

Admit it! Admit you're a murderer!

Please, admit it. Say you're my mother.

I beg of you.

No. I'm not your mother.

Just this once. For me. Admit that you are my mom.

That you love me. Just once. Please.

Just this once, tell me, how did you kill him!

Kim Insuk. Mary Kim.

You're a liar.

An angel?

More like a demon posing as one. A devil!

Say it. You must say it. Just admit it!

Please, please...

You can say you're my mom. Can't you even do that?

Why?

You'll make me lose everything.

If I admit it, if I hold you close, I'll never let you go.

Kill me. Do it!

Is that what you want? Do you want me out of your sight?

Do you want me out of your sight?

No! No, Johnny, don't...

No, don't, Johnny! Don't do it!

My baby, don't...

No, Johnny. Don't. No.

There are two lies left.

You lied in your confession to killing Johnny.

You wanted me to think you're evil.

But it was the truth.

You did kill Johnny.

Why? Because Johnny was in your way.

You wanted me to judge you. To condemn you.

Yes, judge me. I need that. Please.

Sentence me to death.

No.

The law will judge you.

It's not too late.

See for yourself how understanding people can be.

Turn yourself in, tell how he died, what you did.

Come with me to the station. Now!

Isn't it time to tell the truth about how Johnny died?

911 Emergency.

Somebody's hurt. We need help. Hurry!

Where are you?

The JK Club Director's office. Hurry!

Sorry, it's a joke. Yeah, please don't come.

It's okay, really. Yeah, it's okay. Thank you.

Johnny? Johnny? Johnny...

That'll do, mom.

I'm satisfied...

Kido, Kido!

[Manse]

You should have called 911. Why didn't you?

I did. I called.

And?

No more lies. You didn't do anything.

No.

But Johnny forgave me.

Calling 911. Saying his name.

He said he was satisfied just hearing that.

He said that... This awful mom... He said...

That was enough.

I don't believe it, but go on.

Right then, right there...

Is where I stopped being human.

Right. That's what I want you to tell me.

I couldn't call, so I found Kido.

He told me to go back. Back to the inauguration.

So I wavered. Should I? Johnny's hurt.

That's when the devil whispered in my ear.

"His wound's not so bad. Kido will take care of him."

"He's fine. He'll be fine."

"You're finally treated like a human. It's all for nothing if it ends now."

"He's fine. He said so. 'It's okay, it's okay,' he said so."

The devil lied.

I wanted to believe. I wanted to be fooled.

You're right. That's where you stopped being human.

What you did was unforgivable.

That's why I'm not human.

That's why I say I killed him.

I came back during the reception, but Johnny was already gone.

I couldn't find him anywhere.

I thought he was okay. He could walk.

"I'll find you, Johnny," that's what I said.

But then... Then I saw the news and I knew.

I knew Johnny died for me.

I'm no mother. I'm a devil.

Time to end this little drama. Well done, Ms. Kim.

- Prosecutor Kang? - Yes.

Judge her yourself. As a person...

- I can't... - Are you okay?

You're really out of it.

This proves Johnny stabbed himself.

Sorry, it's a joke. Yeah, please don't come. It's okay.

And this is a declaration of intent.

File a report for possible prosecution.

Okay.

During the inauguration?

Yes. On the day itself.

No. Not like this.

Don't try to get up.

I called Mr. Yang.

They don't have a case. It won't go public.

K?

We used poor health as an excuse to postpone.

She'll assume her duties next week.

I'll get JK back, Mother.

You focus on getting better.

Will she be okay? Without me?

Don't talk like that.

If I go, I'm taking K with me.

Call Richard Kim.

Johnny didn't want to make any more trouble for his mom.

Yes, exactly. It's not a homicide.

Manslaughter, maybe. Negligence.

But with Johnny on the 911 tape, it will be tough to prosecute.

Mr. Han must have known.

Legally innocent, morally guilty, he must have known.

[JK Club]

Mary, congratulations.

Thanks, Sunae. Are you alright at the orphanage?

Yeah. I've got my fill of sons and daughters.

Sunae.

Yeah?

Nothing. Take care.

You, too.

[JK Headquarters]

Filthy as a crow and now you're all cleaned up.

So soft and pretty.

- Do we need to change his briefs? - Did he mess them up again?

- Hey, kids! - You made it.

Hey, Mom.

Jihun, very nice. What is it?

This? A hobby of mine.

What hobby is that?

I'll show you.

Ahem. Bell412EP.

Huh?

- Wow! - When did you get your license?

You're a Top Gun!

When did you start?

My heroes Antoine de Saint-Exupery and Jo Dongho had the same hobby...

Hang on.

Ms. Kim. Scoot, sweetie...

I'm going to Gangwon tomorrow. As the UNICEF goodwill ambassador.

Okay. I'm glad you're finally listening to me.

Who says I am?

Oh, you're coming back to legal next week?

Yeah, somebody at JK won't let me quit.

You can't behave like you did before, okay?

And whose fault was that?

And be nice to Hyunjin.

What is it with you? What are you up to?

Nothing. But I know you.

I'll be back soon, Jihun.

Okay.

Listen.

Would it be okay if I go with you?

Like you're cheering.

Manse. That's it. Manse! Very nice.

And off with the shirt. Arms up, "Manse." That's it.

He asked what "manse" means.

Manse?

Arms up, "Manse," and now we're dressed, that's my boy.

[Manse]

Do you know the word "manse"?

Mary.

Thank you, Jihun.

For what?

Just cause.

It wasn't in Myeongdong.

Our first kiss.

Did that count?

What are you talking about?

When we were little, anytime I'd cry, you'd put your lollipop in my mouth.

Did I?

And if I didn't take it, you'd rub it all over my face.

Now I can finally tell you. It was really gross.

Since I don't remember, you are just making it all up.

No, I mean it. You wrote all over my school books, too.

Did not.

Did too!

Smile for me again, just once more. Nice and big.

Send for K. Tell her I'm getting worse.

Tell her I have to see her before I die.

Yes, ma'am.

Don't cross that line again.

Line?

The way you acted. Judging me so harshly.

That was a bad day.

I had to make you talk. You don't think I meant all that, do you?

I may pout.

Forgiving me too quickly puts you on the edge of good and evil.

You'll be miserable.

Life is miserable.

Full of trivial and petty wrongs every day.

You said to judge you, condemn you, but how can people judge each other?

You're legally innocent but morally guilty, I can see that.

But the worse you acted, the more miserable you were.

So what if we're miserable?

If we can't be human, can't we be just folks instead?

There's a difference?

Being "human" carries its own punishment.

Proud, strict, perfect, cold.

But just folks, they smell, they're weak.

But they're loving and warm.

Pssh. Semantics.

Not just semantics. Want an example?

You say, "You're a good person." "You're only human" is an insult.

"She's a sweet person," no problem. But, "She's a sweet human?"

Is that weird or what?

So let's be just folks. Forgiving others. And ourselves. What do you say?

We've been through enough, don't you think?

Think of me as a gum on your shoe. We're stuck with each other.

Get some rest.

You, too.

Wow, the system's a mess.

My room's freezing. And too small.

Don't mind me. Read, read.

How is she?

You should get back. Ms. Gong has gotten worse.

- What? - I'm coming with you.

Thank you, Mr. Kim.

For sticking with me, despite how awful I am.

It wasn't just the money, was it? I'd like to think it wasn't.

People laugh, calling the royal family, "Golden family," and such.

But I've always...

Admired you.

K?

She's coming.

Ms. Kim.

What now? If things were different, forget about being "just folks."

We'd be saying, "Till death do us part."

Where's the ticket I gave you?

- I threw it out. - Liar!

I saw it in your desk.

Made me want to ask you right then, "Want to run away with me?"

[JK Estate]

The search for JK Chair Kim Insuk's missing helicopter was abandoned today.

The news of Ms. Gong's cancer continues to drive JK stock down.

Pak Minkyung reports.

Known for her charity work, Kim Insuk was the epitome of noblesse oblige.

She famously helped fellow traveler Han Jihun become a star prosecutor.

The world is a lesser place without them.

Analysts predict Ms. Gong will appoint her youngest child, Jo Hyunjin

as the new JK Group chair.

[Wind, Sand, and Stars by Antoine de Saint Exupery]

[Mom, read this]

There's something I wanted to tell you.

I'm in a fight with a dinosaur.

It's hard, but I won't end up dino-dinner.

Who am I? I'm your boy, Jihun.

I'll find a way to beat that dinosaur, whatever happens.

So if you hear the dinosaur beat me, don't you believe it.

Even if the whole world thinks I'm dead, don't you believe it.

Are you okay?

Jihun will come back.

He isn't dead.

Go ahead with the wedding.

Jihun will be watching.

Kim Insuk and Han Jihun taught me the importance of people.

Ms. Kim inspired us all with her example of noblesse oblige.

JK can do no less.

Smile, smile, smile!

1, 2, 3.

Manse. That's right. Arms. There you go.

Now it's nap time.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

My Jihun, manse.

Manse forever.

You'll always be alive in my heart.

Manse.

- What? - I'm coming with you.

You know Antoine de Saint-Exupery is still alive?

Still?

He disappeared off the coast of Corsica. So he's still alive.

He'll always be with us.

And I'll always be with you.

No, better yet, you'll always be with me. How's that sound?

Thank you, Jihun.

You saved me.
