Inmate 2064.

Inmate 2064.

Well, sir.

I heard you deposited a large amount into my commissary account.

That was nothing, sir. If you'd like more,

I can certainly take care of it.

Well, I heard you're looking for a good lawyer.

That's right.

I treated and paid my lawyer very well,

but I still ended up like this.

That scumbag!

You picked an idiot who can't even do the job he got paid to do.

So you're here for bribery? What's the evidence?

They found evidence in my wife's bank account.

My brother-in-law and his wife's accounts as well.

So there is hard evidence against you.

I heard through the grapevine...

that you can put people in touch...

with an incredibly competent lawyer who's never lost a single case.

I'd be happy with probation...

You'll be acquitted.

- I can be acquitted? - Every defendant...

that lawyer takes on is acquitted no matter what.

Still, all the evidence is out in my case.

Only amateurs fight in order to prove...

whether evidence is credible or not.

Then how...

A new truth must be found.

The pain from the entire body being broken and torn...

Once he begins his argument,

criticism turns into understanding and forgiveness.

Hatred becomes pity and mercy.

There's such a great lawyer?

How can I hire that person?

You need this.

What do you mean by this?

Money.

Very nice.

Something else. Good, good.

Another pose. Lovely.

Very nice.

Once more. Perfect.

He must think he's a model or something.

They say he's nasty and cares about nothing but money.

Must we interview him?

He represented our evil CEO when he was sued.

This was one of the conditions.

Okay. Wow.

What is your basic theory or rule as a lawyer?

Evil will never go away.

But wouldn't you need someone like me?

A fighter who stands for justice?

What are you doing?

Did you just doze off?

No, I didn't.

I was doing what you call image training.

Miss, you've been training here for six months.

You can't even punch twice in a row.

What, "image training"?

Look over there.

They registered just three months ago.

I'm not that athletic or fit.

Then train with all your might.

Or stop wasting time and quit.

No, I'll keep going.

Look, miss. Are you afraid you'll wear out the gloves?

Were you told to stay timid?

Don't hold back. Lash out.

Delve inside. Bring out the stress and anger.

Load your punches with those feelings.

- This won't explode. - Okay.

Watch me.

Keep your distance first.

1, 2. 1, 2. Punch, punch.

Okay? Now you try.

How do you do an uppercut...

Got it?

Don't get ahead of yourself. Master the basics first. Okay?

Okay.

Whether it's an ex-boyfriend who hurt you...

or a senior at work who ticked you off.

Pretend the sandbag's that person and punch it.

You won't?

Do you think I could pretend it's something else?

There could be legal issues if I were to pretend this is a person.

- Legal issues? - Yes.

I'm a lawyer, you see.

Hitting people is a serious issue.

Could I pretend it's an alien?

But some say that...

though he should be commended for his actions.

He did break traffic laws and drove as a minor without a license,

which could've led to...

a serious accident, so he should be punished severely.

Based on what you heard so far,

is he guilty or not guilty?

- What do you say? - He's guilty.

According to the law, he's guilty.

- Yes. - However,

that's just part of the story.

Lawyer Seo Jae In for Yoo's Law Firm speaking.

- Ms. Seo. - Hello.

- My schedule's packed. - Okay.

There's a red file on my desk. Can you bring it to me?

Is that where you are? Okay, I'll bring it over.

Sir, sit here.

No, you sit down.

I'm fine. You can sit.

Excuse me. Can you let him sit?

- Excuse me. - I don't mind.

It's okay.

Excuse me.

Are you from China? Okay, so...

Korea, the elderly, manners...

I'm Korean.

Can you let the gentleman sit?

Why should I?

Isn't it natural for a young man to let the weak elderly sit?

It is. But is it right to assume...

the young are strong and the elderly weak?

- What? - For example,

did you consider I could have serious heart disease...

or slipped disk?

Do you have any of those?

- No. - What?

This man looks like he's in his 60s,

but he goes to a gym.

His bag is worn,

so he exercises often.

His pectorals are well-developed...

and he has six-pack abs.

I can even feel his taut leg muscles through his pants.

He's physically much fitter than frail little me.

But that's just...

Also, that gym...

is right next to this station.

It was just one two-minute stop,

so there's no point in letting him sit,

or urging or forcing him to sit down.

That's why I didn't stand. That's it.

Any objections?

Thank you.

Why do you keep talking down to me?

You said so yourself.

Korea, the elderly,

manners.

Mr. Yoo.

Mr. Yoo.

Mr. Yoo.

Hi.

Welcome.

What restaurant sells trash for food?

The owner of a restaurant chain...

who made broth with bones that were...

from the garbage was sued for liabilities.

His appeal is about to start.

It's likely he'll be fined, like in the first trial.

A maverick lawyer who has never lost a case yet...

is said to have taken this one,

and everyone's wondering what the verdict will be.

Even you won't be able to do anything this time.

It hasn't started yet, right?

Not even he can win this one, can he?

I still vote that he does.

When the media is this crazy?

- It's 10 minutes to. - Let's hurry.

- There he is. - He's coming.

1, 2, 3, 4, I can't count you all.

What a nice backdrop.

The model is ugly, so no wonder...

you need some flashy interior for the shoot.

How much do you charge per hour for this?

You're going to lose anyway,

so are you determined to bleed your client dry? Great.

You're practically a thief.

You talk so much.

You little parrot. Keep being haughty while you can.

That undefeated record of yours will be broken as of today.

Things weren't as bad when I used to work there,

but I guess B and G Law Firm isn't doing so well.

They must lack competent lawyers...

seeing that they sent a has-been like you to fight against me.

Anyway, I wish you luck.

Did that kid just call me a has-been?

But Your Honor...

What in the world did you do?

Your client messed with food.

He sold trash to earn money.

People who ate his food...

almost died due to food poisoning. Do you know that?

- That's enough. - Hold your temper.

If you have a problem with the ruling,

you should go talk to the judge. Why are you taking it out on me?

Let go of me.

You bribed the judge, didn't you?

If not, how did the conviction get reversed?

Please let go of me.

99 percent of the people who lose to me...

blame themselves for being too incompetent.

That's a very arrogant way to think of it.

It's because they're too proud to admit their opponent's competence.

But on the other hand, you're blaming it on me.

And that's a good start.

What are you talking about?

Now, you need to control your anger...

and focus that energy on improving that brain of yours...

instead of being so impulsive like an ameba.

Bye, then.

An ameba?

Stop right there!

- Hey! - Please don't do this.

Stop right there!

Die!

You all should just bite your tongue and die!

Even someone who knows nothing about law would've won this case.

But you lost? How could you lose?

Sir, please hear me out.

The coldhearted Judge Moon,

who's also known as Ice-man,

actually cried after hearing Tae Rim's absurd argument.

You call that an excuse?

What am I going to do with you punks?

I don't even want to look at you! Get out right now!

But I seriously don't understand.

I mean, it's like magic.

Hypnosis. He must've used hypnosis.

Shut it.

What did he say to you after the trial was over?

Pardon? Who?

What did that jerk say to you after the trial was over?

Oh, well...

"You brought so many of your fellow attorneys like a bag of candy."

"You're just a thief who steals money from your clients."

He also called me an ameba.

Oh, and he also said...

Shut it! Get out!

Get out of here right now!

My gosh.

Get out! Get out!

Hey, Ju Kyung. Where are you?

I'll be there after I take care of a settlement.

Yes, it's a personal request made by Professor Song.

Okay, bye.

What's wrong with your outfit?

But then again, you're not here for a formal occasion.

By the way, do you work out or something?

Three weeks of hospitalization until full recovery...

It's not easy for a normal woman to cause such a serious injury.

You made the right choice.

If you take this to court,

the press will start writing articles...

about how two attorneys fought with each other.

And it's not exactly the most desirable outcome.

If we're not happy with the conditions,

we're willing to take this to court.

My client had to cancel all his TV shows,

and he can't even work on any cases or give any lectures.

Do you know how much damage this has caused my client?

This is causing him to lose a lot of money.

Oh, I see.

So you're going to use exaggeration to bargain your way out of this?

Listen to me.

Your client was the fundamental cause of this incident!

Even so, this is a bit too much.

I mean, let's be honest here. Is it that bad...

to invite a colleague over for some drinks?

Of course, I know what you mean.

If she punched him for something like that, I'd consider her crazy.

But he used work as an excuse, called her to his hotel room,

and came at her with only a bathrobe on.

What are you talking about? He didn't do that.

Attempted rape!

You keep denying it thinking we won't be able to prove it.

But I'm sure you know...

that he can be ruled guilty with only circumstantial evidence.

Do you have proof or a witness to prove that you got assaulted?

I'm not trying to say that my client did anything right.

We're just going to leave if you keep talking nonsense.

You can just take this to court...

and fight against B and G Law Firm if that's what you want.

What's wrong with you?

I mean, come on. You were smart enough to pass the bar.

Did you really think I asked you to come to my hotel room...

only because I wanted those documents?

- Pardon? - It's a hotel room.

It just makes no sense.

Hey, come on. Let's make this easy.

Come on.

Let's have fun.

Please... Please don't do this.

Gosh, why can't you get the message?

You've read precedents about this.

For circumstances like this,

it'll be hard to prove that you were under any kind of compulsion.

You already know that.

Stay still, will you?

What?

Gosh, you're like a kid.

They want you to keep quiet about this incident...

in return for not suing you for assault.

That's their condition. What do you want to do?

Or shall we just ignore them and take this to court?

We won't be able to prove all the damages,

but he'll be the one taking the hit...

if we actually take this to court.

No.

I'll just settle.

How much should I ask for compensation?

I don't need compensation.

Be realistic.

He has a lot of connections in this field.

If he holds a grudge and starts talking to people,

you won't be able to get a job for a while.

I don't care.

Just because you hate him doesn't mean his money is filthy as well.

Money is just money.

Jerks like him aren't capable...

of making a sincere apology. That's why you should take his money.

Yes, I know.

But if he gives me money, he'll end up sleeping at ease.

And I don't want that.

Please just do as I say, Ms. Min.

Really? Okay, then.

But...

you did nothing wrong.

Stay confident, and keep your chin up.

Okay, thank you.

By the way, I'm really curious about this.

Did you really beat him up all by yourself?

It's a compliment. Good job.

- I'll be off now. - Okay.

Forget about it already.

That Monster Pervert is known...

for always reversing the court's judgment.

Just think big.

Why are you so sullen? We only lost once.

Do you know what everyone says...

about our law firm after that Monster Pervert left us?

They call us a gun without bullets.

That was made up...

by the law firms that lost their deals to us.

Don't be so bothered.

Don't you know that reputation is everything in this field?

You're the one who trained him.

So it's natural that it's hard to take him down.

But this case was a given.

We had to win this case.

The evidence, precedents,

and characteristics of the assigned judges...

were all in our favor.

By any chance, did you set this up?

I tried my best to find a case...

that we'd definitely be able to win even if it was against that monster.

If people find out you did this,

it'll seriously ruin our law firm's reputation.

- Anyway, it'll be humiliating. - Humiliating?

We already got humiliated today.

Do you even know...

how many clients we lost because of him?

All we need is just one win. We just need to make him lose...

just one time.

I know I trained him,

but we need to show the world that he's a phony.

That's the only way we'll be able to survive.

Gosh.

- What? - What's wrong with you?

You really need to live more confidently.

That's what I'm trying to do.

She's such a know-it-all.

You just watch. I'll beat that Monster Pervert.

I shall beat him...

and become the true hero that saved B and G.

The thing I told you about a little while ago.

Let's get started on that.

Professor, you didn't have to come all the way here.

Thanks for all of your help. She called to express her gratitude.

I didn't even do anything.

I must say, seeing how you're going out of your way for her,

you must be very fond of this student of yours.

I'm a little jealous.

No, it's not that. I'm just a little worried about her, that's all.

How should I put this? Unlike most young people these days,

she's pretty tactless. Shall I say she's too square?

Right, she certainly is.

But that made me become more fond of her.

Really? I know how busy you are. I should get going.

Thanks for everything.

I was wearing this scarf, so this isn't considered a bribe.

It looks nice on you.

I'll drive you home.

I live close to the subway station.

And work is great and all,

but you should meet a nice guy. Aren't I right?

- Get home safely, Professor. - Bye.

Hi, Auntie.

Hi, Lawyer Seo. How have you been?

Did you drink again?

I had a drink because I'm in such a good mood today.

You folks over there! Keep it down, will you?

I'm calling Lawyer Yoo Myung Seok's office.

Earlier today, some jerks claiming to be the CEO...

and higher-ups of a company came and tried to boss me around,

so I told them about you.

I was like, "My niece is a lawyer, and she works..."

"with Lawyer Yoo Myung Seok, the most highly regarded lawyer."

Did you?

I know you're my niece, but I'm so proud of you, Lawyer Seo Jae In.

Yes.

I love you.

Call me more often, you wench.

You must be busy, but visit me soon. Or I'll forget what you look like.

Okay. I will, Auntie.

Tell Lawyer Yoo about me.

I'll be even happier if you bring him when you visit me.

- Bye for now. - Bye.

I'm always rooting for you.

Gosh, what's this now?

Hey, what is this?

Are you going to punch me with these or what?

You want to punch me? Where? Here?

Keep the distance, and 1, 2.

- Keep the distance and... - My gosh.

Oh, boy. You're so cute.

- Come here. Gosh! - Get away from me!

Hey, Seo Jae In! Stop right there.

Gosh, my head.

Hey, do you think I'll let this slide?

This is considered assault!

Assault, my foot.

You're such a jerk.

Hey, wait. Seo Jae In!

Don't be intimidated. Be confident.

Don't hold it in. Don't hold things in, you idiot!

I can punch people now.

You said it'd cause legal problems.

I no longer care about those things.

Someone must've made you very angry.

So? Who's going to be your punching bag?

Me.

A coward who can't do anything properly...

and just quietly puts up with everything.

Starting today, I won't put up with any nonsense.

Yes, Ms. Min.

Pardon me?

What?

Did you like my gift?

I loved it so much. Thank you.

I practiced very hard, only for you.

While wholeheartedly looking forward to the day we'll meet.

I'm sorry, Tae Rim.

I don't think I can visit Korea anytime soon.

What? Why is that?

My father is forcing me to marry someone.

He's the second eldest son of Shanghai Group's CEO.

I had no choice.

I'm sorry, Tae Rim. Forget about me and move on.

No. Why are you telling me to move on? What about our love?

I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.

What? Does this mean Wangmin Group won't be branching into Korea?

We won't be their legal advisor?

It looks like that plan fell through.

Shanghai Group already has a Korean law firm they're working with.

Are you all right, sir?

I picked the wrong target.

She's President Wang's only sister.

She's the vice president of Wangmin Group, Wang Xin Yuan.

She's actually in Korea at the moment.

Wang Xin Yuan, my love. Wait for me.

Not yet?

She's still in the meeting.

She just came out of the meeting room.

Go to the Grand Hall on the 20th floor.

Good luck, sir.

Thanks.

I can feel all the money in China...

flooding toward me like the yellow sand and the fine dust.

I'm Lawyer Ko Tae Rim.

I'd like to play an important role to ensure...

Wangmin Group's continued success.

Great.

What's this about?

Wait, don't come closer. Wait.

I have a really important appointment, you see.

Can we talk later?

I'd like to know the reason at least. Let's talk.

Must we do this when we have a beautiful language?

What do you want? Money?

Do you have a grudge?

What is it? I upset so many people.

Let me think.

Is that it? The assault?

The settlement fee...

That hurt.

That's why we need to talk.

Words, language, and communication. Don't you know about that?

Wait. Oh, I remember.

The sexual assault case?

You're the victim's brother or boyfriend.

Don't come closer. I've had enough.

I'll report you.

I'm filming you. This is evidence.

You're in big trouble.

Aggravated assault, abduction, and attempted murder.

Your sentence will be...

What's the matter?

Why are you...

Mister.

Once upon a time, in Brazil,

I trained in jujitsu for a while.

Do you use poles there?

It was a dangerous situation.

You scumbag!

- You haven't found him yet? - I did find him.

Look at this. See his helmet?

Other than the helmet,

if you look on his sleeve, there's a red star.

I followed him for two blocks...

but lost him after that.

That means he went into an alley.

So he's gone?

My face, my seventh rib,

my side, shoulder, and right wrist is all messed up.

Add to that, he left a trauma...

that can never be healed in my most blessed of minds.

I'll find him. It'll take some time though.

I will show whoever this person is...

that the price for enraging me is worse than...

being burned by a torch at 1,300℃.

Once I find you, I'll pay you back 10 million times.

Darn it.

Who are you?

The police arrested the suspect of...

the murder of the franchise restaurant owner.

Ms. Seo, where are my files?

Right here.

I marked the recent precedents and related laws.

- Thanks, you're the best. - Where's mine?

I'll give it to you this afternoon after I visit the courthouse.

I sorted it all out halfway,

but I need to look up some property laws.

- Thanks. - Sure.

Ms. Seo, where's what I asked for?

Another team handles tax-related cases.

I gave it to Hye Ran. Ask her.

Okay, thanks.

Are you checking on your minion?

My minion? Watch your language.

She was hired according to the procedures.

Everyone knows you favored her...

during the interview.

You're saying that even after seeing the seniors' scores?

Of the interns we hired after putting...

extra weight on where they studied,

do you know how many of them scored better than a B?

You aren't a Korean Ivy Leaguer, right?

I forgot that.

The seniors think you're cute because you run their errands.

Don't mistake that as a decent evaluation.

Let's go.

Oh, Jae In.

- Four Americanos. - Pardon?

Did you not hear or are you pretending?

Are you weak of hearing? I'll say it again.

Americano. Four of them.

Right now.

Okay...

What is this, interns?

It's a questionnaire...

on which you'll evaluate the lawyers you worked with.

The army has something like this.

It's an anonymous letter of sorts, so write what you want.

Confidentiality is guaranteed.

This is your chance to evaluate...

the lawyers at this law firm.

Write what you honestly think, okay?

Go on.

Sir.

Hey, you, intern.

Can't you even...

tell the temperature?

Do you want me to burn my tongue?

Are you retaliating because...

I made you bring coffees when you're a lawyer?

It's because you drink coffee like it's rice water.

What? How dare you talk like that?

I'm Intern Lawyer Seo Jae In,

and I'm speaking directly to Senior Lawyer Yoon Sang Koo.

Drink it when it's cool...

or gulp it down while it's hot.

That's personal taste and responsibility.

Do you think you're all that because Ms. Min likes you?

You're crazy...

Hey, you.

You got up to no good with that TV Lawyer Yoo, right?

During your first year on the job,

you wanted to go on TV and couldn't,

so you threatened him with sexual harassment.

The whole industry knows that, which is why you can't work.

- Look here, sir. - You can go.

Didn't you hear me?

Are you deaf again?

Shall I say it again?

Get out!

My gosh.

She doesn't know her place in the world yet.

How dare she act out?

You won't do that, right?

- Yes. - Yes.

How far should I keep it in?

When can I start to lash out?

Can't someone tell me?

Darn this world. It's so messed up.

You scumbag, I hate you.

It's all so annoying. You darn person.

That's why we make a living.

Ms. Min.

The world's a mess, so people are wronged.

Some break laws out of anger.

That's when they need lawyers.

I apologize.

Do you know why I hired you?

Even the highest of laws has a weakness.

Your situation was one of them.

In that situation,

you used your fist instead of the law.

I liked that.

Cheer up.

I will.

Lawyer Kim's looking for you.

Okay.

How dare you talk like that?

I'll overlock your lips with a sewing machine...

that makes 3,574 stitches per second...

and drag you from a jet ski in Haeundae.

Gosh, the other lawyer must've made you look really bad.

It's not like you lost.

The trial's still on.

Why are you so insistent on winning?

I win by all cost and means.

That's a lawyer.

What if you lose? Will you quit being a lawyer?

You bet.

I won't hold my client's hand...

and weep to say I did my best.

I'd rather quit than become an attorney who gives excuses.

But I'm never going to lose.

That jerk.

I heard Yoo Myung Seok goes around talking about you.

This is exactly why you should've taken...

everything you could from him back then.

Things turned out this way because you kept...

suppressing your feelings and acted like nothing happened.

And it's not just about you.

- You also need a sense of duty... - Yes, I know.

Thanks to that incident, I'm confident when it comes to...

sexual harassment and sexual assault.

Good for you.

Plus, I don't suppress my feelings these days.

Your outfit is the worst.

Did you hear that? I'm no longer the person I used to be.

- Peace. - That was just being plain rude.

This is popular these days.

Whatever the case, I still got a job at a law firm.

That deserves a compliment. Good job for beating him up too.

You told me that you always get scolded by your boxing coach.

But I guess all those boxing lessons really paid off.

I'm good when it comes to real-life situations.

I guess you're right. Judging by my mock exam scores,

I would've already become a judge.

I'm not happy to admit it, but you're right.

You said you're going to pay back all the money you spent...

on studying for the bar exam.

How is your business? Is everything going well?

I started my own shop because I failed to pass the bar.

So of course, it's not doing well.

My dad called me a money pit.

He took a look at the ledger exactly after three months.

And I think he thought I won't even be able to pay off the interest...

because he told me to shut it down.

My gosh, I bet you started talking about your inheritance.

Yes, I told him I'll write a memo saying I'll give up his inheritance.

And in return, I asked him to give me a year.

But instead, he just told me to go on a blind date.

That means he wants a son-in-law who's either...

an attorney or a judge since he no longer has any hopes for me.

So I said okay.

- You're really going to do it? - Yes.

I'll just get myself a husband who works in law...

to get over my sense of inferiority for not passing the bar.

But the question is if they'll be able to handle me or not.

Of course, they won't be able to handle you.

What do you say we have some drinks tonight?

I have a match tomorrow.

It's an amateur boxing match.

You must be crazy. Why would you enter a boxing match?

I was worried, but I heard you're fighting against a middle schooler.

You should be easy on him.

I won't allow that. This is an official match.

Don't be too nervous. Are you ready?

Yes.

Go!

- My gosh, that was close. - What's going on?

Throw a one-two punch.

What's happening? Why can't she throw a single punch?

What's the matter with her?

Are you sure she learned how to box?

I told her this was a bad idea, but she constantly insisted.

According to the workers who were there that day,

you got fired after getting severely humiliated...

and assaulted by the victim.

So I'm sure you couldn't hold your anger.

And that's why...

you went to the victim's house and waited for him to come home.

Am I correct?

It really wasn't me. I didn't kill him.

How could I kill someone? It wasn't me.

I really didn't do it.

Stop lying to me.

You should just give up.

Let's just throw in the towel.

No, I want to fight until this ends.

We found your fingerprints on the kitchen knife.

Why are you being so stubborn with something so obvious?

Look at me. I said, look at me!

I've been dealing with jerks like you for 30 years now.

I know who's guilty just by looking at the person.

Do you really think you can fool me? Do you?

Jae In! Jae In!

- Jae In. - Jae In!

- Jae In. - Jae In!

- Call an ambulance! - Jae In!

Jae In, wake up.

- Jae In! - Jae In!

Where am I?

Did I lose?

You passed out. Are you okay?

- I'm so humiliated. Help me get up. - Here.

You should lie down. We need to check if you had a concussion.

Okay, I'm sorry.

Why would you enter a boxing contest?

You threw so many punches, but they all missed.

Do you think you're a human sandbag?

Your opponent hit your face every single time she threw a punch.

Stop nagging at me.

Gosh, that hurts. Can you pass me my cell phone?

Hello?

Yes, I'm Seo Jae In.

What? Someone wishes to hire an attorney?

He specifically asked for me?

The part-timer murder case?

Okay.

Is it the part-timer murder case that I've been hearing about...

on the news these days?

Yes.

Jae In! Jae In!

Here's the final ruling.

The defendant will be sentenced to 10 years in jail.

And his 10 days of detention will be included in the sentence.

I'm sorry.

Hey, you.

Yes, you.

Wait.

It's you again? You're that guy from the subway.

What if I am?

Can't you see this?

"Only the witnesses' testimonies and circumstantial evidence..."

"were taken into consideration..."

My gosh.

That statement sounds like it was written by a third grader.

So you definitely would've lost. Am I wrong?

That's none of your business.

Anyway, why did you step on it when you could see where it was?

This place is a passage for pedestrians.

Road Traffic Act, Article 68.

"If one places an obstacle without a plausible reason..."

"and causes a problem to pedestrians,"

"he or she will be sentenced to less than one year in jail..."

"or will be fined up to 3,000 dollars."

- That's what it says. - What?

By ignoring the obstacle you placed on the floor...

and going my way,

I turned a blind eye on something that could've been...

considered illegal.

So you should rather be thankful.

That's all. Do you have a counterargument?

But that's... I...

Thank you.

Hey, stop right there. I said, stop!

I don't care about the law.

But I do know that I shouldn't turn a blind eye...

on jerks like you who are rude, arrogant, and disrespectful.

Gosh, my trauma.

Don't come near me. Go away. I said, go away.

What are you doing?

Ms. Min.

What's going on? Did you hire her to do this?

It's been a while.

Yes, it has.

The attorney that's more often referred to as a director...

because she's a genius when it comes to attracting clients.

I heard you became the back-room big shot...

that helped B and G become a huge law firm.

But even so,

that doesn't change the fact that you're just a group of nerds...

which is why you guys did something like that.

- What are you talking about? - Is this an act?

Or did Mr. Bang do it without telling you?

Whatever the case, you just wait.

I'm a guy...

who pays manyfold back for revenge.

You're not already burned out, are you?

You did pretty well.

The law is always the hardest on rookies.

It's just a matter of technique, so cheer up.

I'm sorry for being so incompetent.

But I'll try to appeal...

Forget it. You've done enough.

This might actually be better.

When I was a student, I struggled with my tuition and living expenses.

And after I graduated, every day was a struggle...

because I had to earn money for my rent and academy fees.

But in here, I won't have to worry...

about making a living for at least 10 years.

Byung Tae.

How can you say that when you got sentenced to jail for murder?

Are you seriously going to be like this?

You should think of your mom.

My mom? It's been a long time since I haven't had a mom.

She left me to get remarried when I was in middle school.

Don't bring her up in front of me.

I'm sorry. I didn't know.

Nothing matters anymore.

I'm cursed with this miserable life anyway.

You didn't kill anyone though. It wasn't you.

- As long as justice is alive... - Justice?

Do you actually think such a thing exists in real life?

Are you that naive?

We're no longer those kids we once were.

Byung Tae.

I'm Kim Byung Tae's counsel,

Seo Jae In from Class 3 of 4th grade.

He had a valid reason...

for being late for class.

As you can see on this map,

the construction for this apartment complex...

between his place and school commenced a month ago,

so he can't take his normal route to school.

Objection.

If he leaves his place a little earlier,

he doesn't have to jump over the wall.

I, too, couldn't understand that part.

Hence, I looked into it...

and found out that he has no choice because of his mother,

who gets home late from her night shifts.

Byung Tae's mother...

She works at the hospital as a nurse.

If he waits for his mother to come home before leaving for school,

he has to jump over the wall, or he'll be late for class.

Penalty points received due to such unavoidable circumstances...

should be considered different...

from those received due to fighting or cheating on exams.

That'd be all.

Nicely done!

No one believed me.

Not a single person.

Everyone talked about evidence and mitigating factors...

while looking at me with their pitiful eyes,

but no one believed that I'm actually innocent.

Still, I can't take this on.

I'm a total amateur.

If it's going to be a hard fight anyway,

I want to be represented by someone who really believes I'm innocent.

Only then can I feel less victimized regardless of the outcome.

If you say no,

I'll go to trial without a lawyer.

Ko Tae Rim, who sides with criminals...

purely for the sake of money, must be punished!

Ko Tae Rim must be punished!

He's nothing but a Monster Pervert and a corrupt lawyer.

Ko Tae Rim must be punished!

Punish him. Punish him!

Hey!

I'm in front of the courthouse now.

Nothing's going on.

Could you buy me lunch? It's been so long.

The word has already spread all over Seocho-dong.

Pestering me won't get you a retrial.

You can even ask those with more experience.

No lawyer in the country would agree to take it on.

Maybe Monster Pervert would, but just give up.

- "Monster Pervert?" - It's just some jerk.

Anyway, stop wasting your time and give up.

He can get a public defender. I'm busy. I have to go.

- Hey, wait. Hey! Gosh. - Punish him!

He's nothing but a Monster pervert and a corrupt lawyer.

Ko Tae Rim must be punished.

- Punish him. - "Monster Pervert"?

"Ko Tae Rim"?

Oh, my. Look who's here.

Aren't you the lawyer who represented the suspect...

in the part-timer murder case, which became the talk of the town?

Hello.

You barely passed the bar...

and graduated the institute at the bottom.

You caused trouble and got kicked out...

of the first firm you joined as an intern in less than a year.

Then you landed another internship through your connections,

but you were on the chopping board because of the fierce competition.

Then you got lucky.

Your childhood friend,

pegged as the prime suspect in the part-timer murder case,

hired you as his lawyer.

Even though you had been to the court...

only a few times while at the institute,

you grabbed the chance, thinking it'd be a great opportunity for you.

Why? Just in case you win.

A rookie lawyer winning a case that everyone knows about...

means job offers from every firm.

Then you could say goodbye to all your trouble!

When did you stop?

But you ended up losing.

You didn't just lose.

You... In the courtroom...

That must've been so embarrassing.

Hey, I told you to never even dare to bring up "G" of B and G.

I heard you're looking for a lawyer to take on the retrial for...

Mr. Yoon.

No one can win that case. Come to your senses.

Don't ask others to clean up the mess you made.

Monster Pervert would be the only lunatic that might take it on.

"Monster Pervert"?

Ko Tae Rim?

I told the judge I went on a blind date with...

that I'd go on another date with him,

and he sent this in-depth report on that lawyer.

This man, Ko Tae Rim, is really something.

- His win rate is 100 percent. - 100 percent?

In other words, he's never lost.

Monster Pervert attended one of his most recent trials as a lawyer.

The defendant committed a franchise scam.

In the first trial, he ended up with a huge fine.

Everyone talked about the garbage soup.

Anyway, there was nothing he could use to turn things around,

but a miracle happened.

Do you know what it feels like to be walking by...

a sundaeguk place at a market...

when you're hungry and exhausted after working all night?

The defendant's mother suffered from extreme poverty growing up.

She used to collect pork bone scraps from a jokbal restaurant...

and boil them all night...

so that she could make sure her dear son could have...

a warm bowl of soup after working all night.

The defendant was trying to recreate the taste of his mother's soup.

In other words, love.

The presiding judge,

whose cold personality had earned him the nickname, Ice Man,

suddenly started tearing up.

As a result, the defendant walked away with a 10th of the fine.

He was technically acquitted.

What? Why did the presiding judge cry?

It turns out, the story about jokbal and sundaeguk...

was actually from the presiding judge's childhood.

His mother, who is now deceased,

used to collect chicken bone scraps...

to make chicken soup...

for him after school.

Are you saying that affected the verdict?

Hey, these decisions are still made by humans.

Judges are still human who can feel and are affected by emotions.

Until three years ago, he was in highest demand at B and G.

But he had a big fight with Bang Dae Han...

and started his own firm.

I heard he charges a lot.

He'll treat you like vermin because you have no money.

Just give up here.

Here's what I promised to you.

Then can I trust that you'll actualize justice for me?

Sure thing. Do you know what "justice" is?

Mr. Congressman, try saying the word backward.

- "Politics?" - That's correct, "politics."

Just focus on your political activities.

All right. You never let me down, Mr. Ko.

I'll be counting on you, then.

That jerk is Monster Pervert?

What? "Justice" and "politics" are the same?

If you say no,

I'll go to trial without a lawyer.

Are you actually a lawyer?

Not a laughter therapist?

5,000 dollars for a retrial?

I laughed so much that I'm hungry now.

Got it, sir. I'll prepare some food.

Mr. Ko, could you at least meet him for a consultation first?

Mr. Gu. As of this moment, I'm not here.

Please make her leave.

I'm sorry, but Mr. Ko isn't here at the moment.

Pardon? He's right there.

No, he is not here.

Well, could you at least listen to his story?

Fine, then how much will be enough?

You mean, 50,000 dollars? Don't you think that's too much?

Please leave.

You really get me so frustrated

- His future depends on this. - I really don't know why

- The initial verdict was unfair. - Once again I gather up the courage

- And your fees are too expensive. - I send you a sign, send you a

No, never! Not a chance.

Impossible. My answer is no.

Then how about I pay you in monthly installments?

Nothing on credit and no discounts.

Mr. Gu, please put up a sign on the door.

Just like, "Spring brings us good luck."

"Credit cards not accepted."

I don't want to pay the processing fees.

You're a lawyer. Don't you have a conscience?

Someone's life depends on this.

In the subway, you talked about being respectful...

to the elderly without even knowing the situation and criticized me...

for lacking the sense of justice. I can't believe you're a lawyer.

What is wrong with this world?

Whether someone ended up with an unfair verdict...

or took his own life in jail to prove that he's not guilty,

I do not care at all.

If you want to hire me, bring it first!

Bring what? Oh, the reason for appeal?

You mean, money? 50,000 dollars?

No, 500,000 dollars.

What? 500,000 dollars?

That's with a hefty discount.

Every defendant I represent wins no matter what.

Can you really win this case though?

He admitted to it as he was scared during the police interrogation.

That statement was crucial in the first verdict...

Just bring me the money. Then I'll get him acquitted.

But this isn't about money.

The law of this country is doomed if justice can't win.

He's not guilty, but he ended up with a 10-year sentence?

You must've thought this.

"Darn it. Instead of contributing to realizing justice,"

"the court just sentenced an innocent man to 10 years in prison."

"What is wrong with the law of this country?"

I know very well that not all verdicts can be perfectly fair.

I also know that you can't always win in your fight for justice.

"Justice?" You? Come to your senses.

That innocent man has been convicted of murder. You call that justice?

Bingo. That prosecutor believed that what he did was just.

If there are 100 people, they all think they're just.

All of them think they're right and fight to prove it.

That's what happens in the courtroom.

If there's one more clueless rookie lawyer like you,

the legal world of this country will really be doomed.

- But... - Listen to me carefully.

Justice can be bought with money.

Therefore, you must bring me money first. Money!

Right, you say that justice and politics are the same.

Shut your mouth!

Do you even know how expensive my time is?

Do you see the second hand?

10 dollars, 20 dollars, 100 dollars, 1,000 dollars, and 10,000 dollars.

If you say one more word,

I'll charge you 5,000 dollars as a consultation fee.

- Mr. Gu. - Yes, sir.

The guest is leaving.

You should leave now.

I'd never hire a lawyer like you!

You money-grubbing, worse-than-trash Monster Pervert!

5,000 dollars!

Pay me 5,000 dollars now. 5,000 dollars!

He disgraces all fellow lawyers.

No, that jerk disgraces mankind.

- Let him in. - Ko Tae Rim.

- How dare you. - You've been well, right?

Tae Rim, is this all you amount to?

Shouldn't you take care of your family first?

- Monster Pervert, what now? - Gosh.

We must take Monster Pervert down.

Do you have a plan?

Are you sure he is Monster Pervert's mentee?

Yes. When it comes to win rate, he probably outdoes Monster Pervert.

- Brother! - Brother!

- What? What are you doing? - I'm sorry, Mr. Ko.

Please help me. Please?

Get lost at once. How dare you!

This is all garbage. This and that too.

Dump them in the garbage bin immediately.

It has to be Lawyer Seo.

Right, but why?

Ms. Tough Cookie, you sure can take a punch.

Why are you here again? Did you bring 5,000 dollars?

You should've gotten up for that elderly man in the subway that day.

You said he'd be getting off because he was holding a gym bag,

but he might not have gotten off at the next stop.

Holding a department store shopping bag doesn't mean you're going there.

In other words, it was just groundless speculation.

- And? - You should've...

asked him if he wanted to sit.

Even if he said no,

that process itself is what matters.

Following such unspoken rules is a polite thing to do.

Any objections?

No, you're right.

If you had brought it up right on the spot, that is.
