Original subtitles

All rise.

She's pretty.

This was what's coming?

What's this?

Is that pigeon poop?

This was it? Of all things?

Oh, this doesn't look like it was made by an amateur.

Why is Judge Do here? Wasn't it supposed to be Judge Kim?

I was told there might be a change...

due to staff changeovers.

- What are you talking about? - What goes around comes around.

She'll use this as an opportunity to get back at him.

This isn't going to end very nicely.

What are you two talking about?

The plaintiff is requesting 100,000 dollars as compensation...

for the monetary damage and emotional distress...

caused by the defendant making a scene at the wedding shoot,

but the defendant is insisting it's unfair...

as they were in a relationship.

- Yes. - Yes.

Then first, we'll have to find out if they were actually dating,

or if the defendant had the wrong idea...

like the plaintiff is insisting.

Let's hear from the plaintiff first.

There's a Mozambican proverb like this.

"Those who wish to cover the sun..."

"must stand behind their own shadows."

Truth can never be hidden.

And not everything that's done under the name of love...

can be justified.

Love that doesn't understand the other person's intentions...

ends up hurting that person.

The left shoulder.

What?

Then he made a fist with both hands.

For six months, they met up for meals,

went to the movies, and had coffee together all the time.

Also, he even proposed to her.

But now, she's insisting that all of it was a misunderstanding.

Then why didn't she realize the situation sooner?

Why didn't she tell him that he got the wrong idea?

They say that people around you can reveal so much about you.

Kim Na Young, Defendant Hong Min Cheol's college alumna,

said he waited for her in front of her place every day for three years,

which terrified her.

She also said he threw...

surprise events for her without asking her opinion.

Lee Song Yi, who met the defendant in a cooking class,

said she and her ex-boyfriend...

broke up because the defendant...

showed up with a gift out of the blue...

when they were out on a date.

Objection, Your Honour.

That's a subjective statement, which can't be proven,

but he's making it sound like it's a fact.

Do you really think so?

Here, I have statements collected from the three women who suffered...

in the past because of the defendant.

I'd like to submit it as evidence.

What? Statements?

Defendant's counsel, would you like to plead?

Well, that's...

A gorilla?

Tapping on the butt?

That gentleman in the audience.

Excuse me.

The man who just stood up and made weird gestures.

- Me? - Yes. Please stand up.

Turn around and stare at the wall.

That's ridiculous.

I mean, this isn't an elementary school classroom.

Aren't I right?

Also, I guess you don't know because you only studied the law.

Meditating while staring at the wall...

is only done at Temple Haein, inside caves,

or above the 1,200m mark of Sedona Valley.

Goodness.

Guards, what are you waiting for?

Wait, hold on.

This is...

Defendant's counsel, anything you'd like to add?

No, Your Honour.

What now?

Since everyone in the audience has the freedom to leave,

I'd like to leave the courtroom. That will be okay, right?

Are you disrespecting the court and a judge's authority?

Not at all. I'd like to leave as I don't want to interrupt anyone.

Also, due to my religious beliefs,

this meditation method isn't working for me.

You've just committed a very serious breach of orders.

You'll be locked up for an hour. Take him.

What do you mean I committed a breach of orders? That's absurd.

- Three hours. - No! I refuse!

Then you'll be locked up for six hours!

Let go. Gosh, hold on.

I said, let go. Let go of me!

Let go. Why...

Gosh! Let go.

Does she think she's above everyone because she's a judge?

This is clearly considered abuse of authority.

Go in.

Don't... Don't lock the door.

Don't leave me alone. Don't go.

Gosh.

"States of coming to terms with detention".

I frequented that restaurant as I worked nearby,

but I can assure you that we never dated.

He got the wrong idea...

and harassed me. He's a stalker.

I didn't get the wrong idea, and I am not a stalker.

We started going out because Hyun Ji gave me a movie ticket.

We were close enough to go to the movies together.

He's lying.

I watched that movie alone.

But...

I don't know how he found out,

but he somehow got a ticket for a seat next to me.

I was scared.

We went into the theatre together.

And... And then...

Forget it. I don't know yours.

As if he was always spying on me from somewhere,

he showed up out of the blue and startled me many times.

I went out to meet her because she called me.

She asked me to meet up even during the restaurant's peak hours,

saying she needs to see me even just for a moment.

Saying that he wants to protect me,

he followed me home every day.

Every single day.

I walked her home as she said it's scary to walk in the alley alone.

I didn't even dream he'd show up to the photo shoot like that.

I thought that if I said I'd marry my fiancé,

he would stop bothering me.

I wanted to save her from a loveless marriage.

That's all.

No, this is wrong.

Why me? Something's not right.

She ordered detention for that?

No, it's wrong.

It's all Judge Do. No, Do Mun Kyung's fault.

She can't vent her anger like this!

No, Seo Jae In, Chirp Chirp is to blame.

This wouldn't have happened if she hadn't taken the case.

It's all your fault. I'll make you all pay!

It's not bad.

It's not a prison cell.

I'll call it mental discipline.

My own space.

I'm perfectly free.

I feel sad. There's no one else.

No one remembers me.

It's over for me. I'm done for.

What's all that?

Those are the five stages of accepting death.

They dare humiliate me like this?

Everything is in vain.

Do not resent or be greedy.

Be like water.

Letting yourself go with the flow is how to live life.

That's all for today.

See you at the next court date.

All rise.

Is the statement true?

Why didn't you tell me about that?

Choi Hyun Ji is the only person I dated.

Then what about the other women?

I didn't date them.

He's of no help at all.

Why did he come to watch...

and end up ruining my trial?

Judge.

I'd like to apologize instead.

I'm Seo Jae In,

and I work at Go Tae Rim's firm.

That's why he came to watch.

Have you worked with him for long?

No. A little over a month.

It must be tough.

I'm fascinated that such a weird human being can exist.

Anyway, I'm not at all friendly towards him.

It's the opposite.

Why work with a guy you don't like?

Because of a number of circumstances.

What do you want?

Can you release him from detention?

You want me to cancel a court order?

Can I let him off? Is that it?

Yes, if I must say so.

Tell him I will if he apologizes sincerely.

You're one lucky guy.

You ended up with a judge who hates Tae Rim's guts.

The setting is perfect,

and you're up against nothing but a novice.

I don't have to worry, do I?

It may seem so on the surface,

but Tae Rim won't just sit idly by.

His minion is the lead.

However hard he controls her,

there's no way a puppet can become human.

Right, Lawyer Kang? You can win, right?

There's a proverb in Uganda.

"Fear a drowning mouse more than a puma's claw."

Uganda. I forgot all about that.

Uganda. Uganda, Uganda, Uganda.

Booga booga. Uganda.

"Yes, I can." Is that so hard to say?

Did I not tell you?

I don't care much for loyalty or homage.

It's all about whether I'm needed or not.

I need to meet a client.

Apologize? Apologize?

You won't.

- I must. - What?

If one word will release the grudge she holds,

that is the easiest rule of life to live by.

"Rule of life"?

Will you really apologize to Judge Do?

I'll go and tell her right now.

Are you crazy? Who said I'd apologize? Who?

You just said that...

That's as preposterous as burning your tongue while eating...

a canned apple on the peak of Mount Everest 8,848m up.

Why should I? She should be the one apologizing.

Was that all a monologue then?

Will you please just apologize?

No, never, not at all.

I won't not even if...

this was Alcatraz full to the brim with hardened criminals.

I can't!

Just don't do it.

You'll get detained again.

I can't forgive her ever.

This is crazy.

What was the rule of life about then?

Do you not care for anything now you're a judge?

You should apologize to me, not...

I'm standing here, and you're reading a report?

You learned well how to abuse your authority.

You judges think you're deities and...

Will you please stop?

Get your grimy hands off my face.

For old time's sake,

be glad I let you off at that.

"Old time's sake"? More like resentment.

You're angry I dumped you.

You're being hysteric.

You dumped her?

Were you two...

You were upset I always came first, and you always second.

"If you can't beat someone, keep him close."

You reached a foolish conclusion that only the second-best reach...

and practically threw yourself at me.

- Totally. - Stop it.

Wasn't this revenge for that evening?

Hey. Go Tae Rim.

Abusing your authority for personal reasons.

That's what you judges still do which is why the public's trust...

has reached not just rock-bottom but 5,890m below the sea,

and you're still digging with a high-tech excavator.

Three hours of detention.

Judge, please calm down.

He's infamous for being rude.

Just pretend he's out of his mind and let it slide.

Do you think I'm afraid?

I'm not. Not at all.

One day confinement.

Why not sentence me to life in prison or the death penalty?

I'm really sorry, Judge.

He loses his mind sometimes.

- What are you doing? - We're leaving.

Hey, Seo Jae In.

Let go.

She's the judge who's presiding over my trial.

Please don't, sir.

Why? What is it?

I really don't get it.

Judge Do isn't just too good for you.

It's more like a miracle you dated.

Does she have a weird taste in men?

Or really low standards?

A weird taste? Low standards?

Think about it.

From the top of your head to the tip of your toes,

I don't see any charm, so what did she see?

Your level of nonsense...

equals a statement like "a cannibal is eating grass".

The masculinity of my looks...

and almost primal charm oozing from deep inside would be lost on you.

What was that in court?

All this.

Let's call it a ruse to confuse our opposition.

Anyway, stay away from my trials from now on.

You're a nuisance.

Sorim, dalma, yeokgeun, sesu,

geumkangbulgae, and nahanjin.

I don't hear you. I don't hear a thing.

Why? Tae Rim's not picking up?

He must be up to something.

Yes. Would he elope leaving his fiancée behind?

You're making me feel sorry that I'm single.

No, that's not it. He never forgets about an appointment.

So I'm worried that something might've happened.

Just eat your food.

I'm going to get myself a boyfriend.

A boyfriend? Are you sure?

- This place is nice. - Come on.

He probably just realized that she was way too good for him.

There's no point in regretting it now.

Hurry up and give me that.

A few years later, the trees by the road will grow...

and block all the houses in the back from getting any sunlight.

Then people will file lawsuits regarding their rights for sunlight.

I hope you grow into a really tall tree.

Grow nice and tall.

I knew it. I can't believe I thought he might be thinking of love.

Let's begin.

Start with that first. Beat him up.

Skip it. Retreat.

Don't tell me.

Be brazen.

Make a long hit. If possible, make it a home run.

Do it yourself.

Signs?

Monster Pervert uses baseballs signs?

Yes, that's right. Take a look a this.

He used two signs that day.

Make the first pitch.

Skip it. Retreat. Those were the two signs he used.

- Are you sure? - I collected the signs...

of 10 baseball teams, so I'm certain about this.

- So... - Yes.

what can he do with these signs?

I'm not sure.

I'm trying to find out.

I'm at fault for having trusted you.

- It's all my fault. - Why? What's wrong?

What did I do wrong?

Get out. Get out of here right now.

- Am I still an associate attorney? - I said, get out.

I have no choice but to call her since you're not keeping your word.

What? No way.

No, don't call her. Don't. Put that down.

Hey, Sang Koo.

Okay, fine. Just please hang up.

- Hang up. - She just answered.

Hey. It's me, your youngest brother.

You want to know if something's wrong?

So am I still an associate attorney?

No, nothing's wrong. I just called because I missed you.

Of course. Yes, honey.

How are the kids? Oh, okay.

No, nothing's wrong.

I take care of him with so much love.

Don't worry about your brother.

Just focus on staying healthy.

Okay, I'll call you back tonight.

Okay. Bye, honey.

Did you really have to do this, Sang Koo?

Okay. I'll be off, then.

Gosh.

That little...

Worms don't always just get stomped on.

Is it fun fighting against a minion?

You made me take the case against Monster Pervert.

And you're going to win a case against a rookie and brag about it?

Gosh, you really know how to play tricks.

I can see why you're Monster Pervert's best mentee.

But imagine what would happen if you lose.

Plus, she used to be an intern here.

It's going to be so humiliating.

Meanwhile, if I lose, no one would even be surprised.

"If a lion cries, a cat cries too."

It's a saying in Sudan.

Sudan? Lion? Cat?

Is he trying to make fun of me?

Win, win, Seo Jae In

Win the fight, Seo Jae In

Good luck.

I heard you got completely beaten up in court.

People might start calling you "Punching bag" or "Punchball".

Meanwhile, you got locked up for causing a commotion.

Find a witness or fabricate one if you have to.

Make him get acquitted no matter what. Win the case.

That's not the only thing that matters.

An attorney should help the client get whatever ruling they deserve.

I'm just saying that I want to play fair and square.

Fair and square?

Attorneys like you who don't try everything they can...

to get your client acquitted...

deserve to hang from the very tip of a spaceship...

that's just about to enter the earth, get burned at 5,274°C,

and then get dropped...

into the Gulf of Alaska...

which has a freezing temperature of minus 78.5°C.

Please just disappear from this planet...

instead of damaging the reputation of other attorneys.

The reason you're being like this...

is all because Gi Seok betrayed you, isn't it?

Don't use my case to get revenge regarding your personal issues.

Gosh.

Am I the one who's wrong?

I'm not sure.

Kang Gi Seok won't think...

that he's fighting against you.

- Then who... - This may sound out of line.

But the fact that B and G Law Firm...

took on a small case like this...

might imply that they have an ulterior motive behind it.

Then if I lose...

If you lose,

they'll think Go Tae Rim Law Firm lost the case.

One.

1, 2.

1, 2.

- Excuse me. - One.

Can she spar?

Spar?

Are you kidding me? They should at least be on a similar level.

One of our members didn't come.

- Can she just try? - Get lost.

I'll do it.

She's a lot more experienced. You might get hurt.

That's all the more reason I want to try.

She has a slow leg movement.

So keep your distance from her and look for a chance to punch.

What if I want to win? Is there a lethal move I can make?

Normally, people just get hit at the beginning of the match...

and throw their best punch right when the opponent loses focus.

But you're not particularly good at anything.

Stop the nonsense.

It looks like she has a weak core, so you can try aiming for that.

What? Min Cheol, you're where?

You went hiking?

What? Hello?

Gosh, this is so frustrating.

- Gosh. - Disgusting.

I'm more frustrated than you are.

Will you stop getting beaten up?

I mean, we should be doing everything we can to find a witness.

I get that he's suffering, but he can't just leave like this.

He doesn't want to go to trial. He's no longer interested.

It's because he's hurt.

Where are you going?

I'm going to visit all the places I went with him...

to find witnesses.

And I'm going to meet the people who handed in the affidavits.

Look at that passion in your eyes.

Are you really going to win the case against his mentee?

Why are you saying the same thing?

I told you. This is not about whether I win or lose.

See you.

From the look on her face, it seems like she wants to win.

Spartacus.

Have you seen these two before?

No?

By any chance, have you seen these two before?

No?

Ma'am, have you seen these two people before?

- Did they ever come here often? - Please leave. We're busy.

Have you not seen them before?

Can you just tell me that you have?

Excuse me. Saving a man's life...

is the same thing as saving yourself.

Can you please look carefully and try to remember?

You don't know them?

Think of your wife who lives in Andromeda Galaxy.

If you testify...

How cute.

I'm Seo Jae In, the attorney who called you.

Are you Ms. Lee Song Yi, the person who wrote the affidavit?

I don't have much time. Please make it quick.

According to the affidavit, you stated...

that Mr. Hong Min Cheol made you suffer. Is that true?

He's a perverted stalker.

What? He is?

Polaroid?

Yes. Min Cheol kept pestering me to take photos,

so I gave in and took a few pictures.

Where are those photos now?

I didn't even want to see them, so I burned them.

But I can't remember where one of them is.

- Could Mr. Hong... - I'm not sure.

I was holding onto all of them.

Shall we just drop the suit?

First, please try to relax and take a deep breath in.

You may think that you don't remember it,

but all the memories are intact deep within your subconscious mind.

You can recall forgotten memories when they're triggered by something.

Take your time...

and try to remember where that one photo might be.

As if you're rolling a film wheel,

try to remember one scene at a time.

How do you feel? Are any memories flooding back?

No, I can't remember.

It was so bad that I even considered reporting him to the police...

and requesting a restraining order.

Really?

I see. Thank you for your time.

You and your ex-boyfriend broke up because of Mr. Hong, right?

That wasn't Min Cheol's fault.

It happened because I developed feelings for Min Cheol.

So do you regret it now?

No, it was all my fault anyway.

Maybe Ms. Choi, too, was confused for a short while like you were.

But if she loses the opportunity to correct things,

don't you think it's too harsh?

Ms. Choi, you want to protect your marriage, right?

I'd really like to help you,

so I think...

"Daesun Meat and Poultry Accounting Report"?

Oh, there it is.

I'm sorry. This document needs to be discarded.

I see. This case is closed though. Why...

I don't think it'd be appropriate for me to fill you in on it.

Please excuse me.

Why isn't Mr. Hong here yet?

Yes, Mr. Kang.

Pardon? A proposition?

I'm sorry. My client had to go to the countryside,

so he couldn't be here today.

We have no choice.

This is...

a memorandum stating that we won't request compensation...

if the defendant admits to everything.

Please keep in mind that this isn't an official agreement.

Why is this necessary?

Can't you just drop the suit?

Like I mentioned to you at the beginning,

Ms. Choi wants to protect her marriage.

Please help me out, Ms. Seo.

If everyone becomes miserable after the trial,

it'll be pointless, don't you think?

Let's both win.

I sincerely hope that both my client and the defendant...

can become happy through the trial.

That's why I drafted this memorandum.

Minimizing Mr. Hong's damage...

while protecting a woman's life.

Wouldn't that be the right conclusion?

Don't fall for that. It's a trick.

I'm always on your side, Ms. Seo.

Stay strong. I'm rooting for you.

You must win. No matter what.

Go, Seo Jae In!

Don't worry. It'll go well.

- Okay. - I'll be in touch.

Goodbye.

Look at you! You're really impressive.

You have to shoot your injured opponent, don't you?

You're using money to win the trial.

You are so brazen.

I'm simply respecting what my client wants to do.

Intimate relationships are unpredictable. You just never know.

Why does he love giving hugs so much?

Unpredictable, my foot.

In my eyes, you look like a wicked person.

Until 5pm?

Hey.

Yes, have you found anything?

What?

The Medusa Gang?

Are you sure?

So she was a member of a gang?

From what I know, the gang had at least 100 members.

Anyway, she was the leader of that gang,

and she was infamous for being ruthless.

She was the leader of the Medusa Gang?

When Mr. Bang was a prosecutor, he helped her...

with her tuition fees, so she's probably turned over a new leaf.

Okay, thanks.

That's why she's so loyal to Mr. Bang.

A female gang leader?

Spare my life, please...

Get a taste of this.

Yes. That's it. Whack them.

Please spare my life.

Please, no.

No!

I had no idea, and I even bluffed in front of her.

What if she attacks me in the middle of the night?

What do I do?

Hello.

- What's the matter? - If I ever wronged you in any way,

please forgive me with a merciful heart.

Stop joking around.

About that jerk... The man who beat up Monster Pervert.

Did he have a tattoo like this?

I'm not sure. I don't really remember.

It looks like a heart or pincers.

Oh, the cosmetic product scent.

- It smells very nice. - Gosh.

I'm talking about that jerk, not me. Did you smell anything?

I'm not sure. I don't really remember.

You're never helpful.

I'll do my very best to be helpful to you from now on.

The Medusa Gang.

Ms. Min Ju Kyung.

Ms. Min Ju Kyung.

Hello.

Long time no see.

- Yes. - What a coincidence, right?

Go Tae Rim Law Firm and B and G...

are going up against each other at the trial I'm presiding over.

Aren't you with B and G Law Firm?

- Yes. - You seem to think that...

you have an advantage because of my past with Tae Rim.

Tell your CEO that he's mistaken.

Okay.

Wait, Judge.

Many years have passed. I think we can talk now.

Are you free?

A trial is just like a boxing match.

You fight to win, but you can also throw in the towel.

I know that.

What's troubling you?

Is it like Lawyer Kang said?

Do you want to protect a woman's life?

Instead of focusing on the fight,

you're more worried about your opponent's wife.

What kind of match would that be?

I'm drunk. I'm off to bed.

Okay. Sleep well.

Thanks. Well done.

My gosh.

Judge.

Lawyer Seo.

Did you just come to get revenge?

Excuse me.

Apples?

They're fresh and sweet.

Have one.

Why apples?

Engagement, betrayal, and farewell?

That's why I couldn't stand Tae Rim.

No wonder.

How could he do that while he was in a relationship?

Just the thought...

But why did you apologize?

I recently found out that I was mistaken.

I liked Tae Rim a lot.

What? You did?

How could someone like you...

Why?

He wasn't like how he is now.

I fell for him when I saw him shed a tear...

while looking at a flower outside the institute.

No way. He cried?

I was the one who was cheating on him.

- What? - After Tae Rim and I got engaged,

I was reunited with my first love.

I wavered.

So I met him in secret,

and I was deeply torn.

Tae Rim found out...

and put on a show for my sake.

So I could save face and go on to become a judge.

I broke up with my first love too.

A relationship that starts after hurting someone will never last.

I have regrets.

What would have happened...

if Tae Rim had confronted me instead?

Mr. Go really did that?

The reason I'm telling you this...

is because Tae Rim won't explain himself.

You'll see and work with him every day.

It bothered me that you seemed to have a biased prejudice.

That story's so different from how he's like now.

I don't believe it.

He talks about money all the time,

but I trust him.

That he has a sense of justice though it might be a bit warped.

His nickname.

It's more like a trophy.

A trophy?

He's making it on his own,

without a backer or connections.

He was given that award of a nickname by people who'd rather...

go hungry than be jealous of him.

I award you this certificate to acknowledge how you...

care more for the opposing party than your own client.

Well done.

From Bloop Bloop, Head of Association of Goldfish.

- Goldfish? - Yes, goldfish.

Even a goldfish with an IQ of three can remember...

a lawyer's duty that you always forget.

You even dance the mambo to the opposing party's beat.

I don't think you're any better than a goldfish blooping in a tank.

If their offer is favourable to our client,

we could give it thought.

Favourable? It's favourable?

When he becomes a stalker and takes the blame for everything?

Even if it was for love, he did almost ruin a marriage.

The previous murder case.

You gave up 18 years of your life to insist he was innocent.

What about now? Is your client so clearly guilty?

After doing what you did to save the guy,

you'd have searched the trash to find evidence.

Did you find anything that showed he isn't guilty?

- No. - Even after all that,

you're foolish enough to try to find out the truth...

with people's speech, expressions, and tears.

I feel like I was stung to paralysis by 2,400 scorpions...

in the Amazonian jungle.

I'll tell you again. If you lose, you're fired.

Very well. Thank you.

600g of a front leg of pork is 5 dollars 90 cents.

A lady I meet at the supermarket every day...

had asked for my number.

I had no idea,

but she'd seen me shopping a few times.

We're exchanging cooking tips or information on discounts.

I see.

Isn't it interesting that someone can recognize me...

just because I shop at the same place every day?

You're right. I should get going.

Every day?

Every day?

Thank you, Mr. Gu.

I won't be your intern.

You can say no if you're not up for it.

Must we really...

What should I do?

I'll do as you say.

I'm exhausted.

I want to ask you something.

Lee Song Yi gave a statement.

How do you know her?

I don't know why she gave such a statement,

but I found out much later that she liked me.

We really had no relationship.

Okay.

I get it.

This memorandum.

I should sign it, right?

Instead of focusing on the fight,

you're more worried about your opponent's wife.

What kind of match would that be?

Even after all that,

you're foolish enough to try to find out the truth...

with people's speech, expressions, and tears.

I feel like I was stung to paralysis by 2,400 scorpions...

in the Amazonian jungle.

I'll tell you again. If you lose, you're fired.

Min Cheol.

You said you walked Hyun Ji home every day.

Pardon?

Ma'am.

I don't have a granddaughter like you.

That's not why I'm here.

Will you buy or not?

If you won't buy, get out of my sight.

I will buy some. Give me three.

Have you ever seen these two people?

I don't know.

Take a look. They passed by every evening.

I don't know anything. I just don't know.

Get lost. Take this and eat them somewhere else.

Go away.

Thank you. Take care.

Get lost.

These look tasty. A dollar's worth, please.

- Can I eat them here? - Sure.

Hello? It's the fish pastry lady.

She just came by.

I can't let the lady's engagement fall through because of that fool.

The scarf you gave me is really warm.

Thank you. Bye.

Wow, did your grandson give you that scarf?

No. Some guy gave it to me while asking for a favour.

What was his name?

Lawyer Kang?

What kind of a name is that?

Is "Lawyer" his surname?

It's so strange.

She fell for that?

She's more like a fool who'd try to send mineral water to someone...

riding a two-humped camel in Alaska looking for an oasis.

Then she'd probably take it out on the postmaster.

Okay, bye.

We're going to lose the trial, Mr. Gu.

Please prepare what I previously mentioned.

That's too much.

Don't you think that'd be too harsh for Mr. Seo?

Let's proceed.

Okay.

- Hello. - Welcome.

By any chance,

have you seen these two before?

They walked past this place every night.

I'm not sure. They sure do look familiar.

Can you tell me their names?

The woman's name is Choi Hyun Ji.

What? Choi Hyun Ji?

Do you know her?

Well, kind of. But...

We have a limited amount of space here.

Why isn't she taking her coat?

- No, that's not... - And plus,

it's obvious that she'll throw a fit if I end up losing this.

- Take it. - No, that's not it.

Choi Hyun Ji. Let's see. I can check her name off the list.

Wait a minute. I almost forgot.

Here. This was in her pocket.

This is a pity.

Are you sure you won't regret rejecting my offer?

I'm only going to focus on the trial.

I don't think it's part of my job to think about...

what might happen afterwards.

Make the client settle by swaying the attorney.

I never taught you to pull such shallow tricks.

But I'm sorry to tell you this. You can't go any further than that.

There's a saying in Africa...

This is what they say in Japan.

"If you scratch your scab, you'll end up bleeding."

I didn't know my love could become a crime...

because I never thought my love was one-sided.

I always thought we were both looking at each other.

I trusted that our love was mutual.

And so I was happy.

Ms. Choi Hyun Ji, it may not have been love.

But could it be the case that you gave him hope...

and made him think you also had feelings for him as well?

I never did such a thing.

Have you never...

developed any feelings for him even for the slightest moment?

No.

A relationship that starts after hurting someone...

will never last.

It would be very troublesome to break off your engagement...

with a promising fiancé just because of a momentary mistake.

But I don't think a relationship that starts after hurting someone...

can end up becoming a happy relationship.

Ms. Choi.

Are you sure you never had any feelings for Mr. Hong?

Yes, I'm sure.

Not even the slightest bit?

Not even the slightest bit.

Ms. Choi.

That's enough.

- But Min Cheol... - You've done enough.

This is enough for me.

But...

I'm sorry. My misunderstanding ended up getting in the way...

of your wedding.

I sincerely...

apologize.

I started this because I felt so upset.

But the feelings I had for her feels so pathetic...

after seeing her deny her feelings so strongly.

Thank you for trusting me and defending me until the end.

No, don't say that.

I don't deserve to hear that from you.

I'm sorry I didn't do a better job.

No, you're a great attorney.

By the way...

Here.

You lost so horribly.

You might as well attend the live Go competition...

that's being held this Sunday and smash the Go board.

It'll at least make you feel relieved.

I'll be getting fired anyway.

I'll give you an exemption since the results changed...

because of the client.

In other words, the rising star of B and G Law Firm,

Attorney Kang Gi Seok, beat this trial...

against Go Tae Rim Law Firm...

ruthlessly and ferociously.

- Please tell us how you won. - How did you manage to win?

That was...

all thanks to Mr. Bang's wise judgement and guidance.

That's complete nonsense.

- What's that? - What's going on?

Grab it.

"The only working experience Attorney Seo Jae In had..."

"was having worked as an intern at B and G Law Firm,"

"And she worked at Go Tae Rim Law Firm only to pay off her debt."

"Therefore, whether she wins or loses a case..."

"has nothing to do with Go Tae Rim Law Firm."

I'm not even surprised.

Hey, brother.

You must've been bothered by the trial result...

seeing that you made copies of those tacky printouts.

Are you happy that you won?

Yes.

Next time, I'm planning to fight against you.

Congratulations. Here's a gift.

Ms. Nam, what are these?

Oh, that.

Just leave them. Don't touch them.

What's this?

Some woman told me to give this to you.

Where is she?

She left after she gave me the box.

Follow me.

Sir.

Wait.

- Was it her? - Yes, it was her.

Jae In.

I got busted.

I thought you emphasized the importance of following the rules.

I'm surprised you planned something like this.

The forensic investigation has been completed,

and even the scene preservation period is over now.

Oh, that's not my point. I'm just saying...

Then we won't get arrested, right?

I looked into it as I was curious why you did such a thing,

and I found this photo on this flash drive.

It seems to be near the scene.

Don't you think he looks so much like the guy...

whom you got acquitted?

You got a murderer acquitted.

So did you go there to see if you could find additional evidence?

No, I said that's not the case.

Then why did the police bring this?

Then why else did you go there? There's no other reason.

The question is if more people get hurt or suffer because of those...

who got acquitted like that, who will take responsibility?

Even if we work hard and catch those criminals,

lawyers like you will get them acquitted again.

Who says he's the killer?

I called him just in case.

You're detaining these ladies without a legitimate reason...

in an interrogation room.

I'm sure you're aware of the fact that this is wrong.

We're simply having a conversation with these two ladies...

with their consent.

And you're recording this too?

Oh, I pressed the record button by mistake.

You make mistakes often.

Last time, you discarded a recording by mistake.

Get up.

If you'd like to interview them,

send them an appearance notice stating a valid reason.

But I can't guarantee that they'll cooperate.

Aren't you leaving?

Seol Hee! Where are you, Seol Hee?

- Over there! - Seol Hee!

Seol Hee, are you all right?

Seol Hee, I ran here as soon as I got your call.

Who did this to her? Which one of you arrested Seol Hee?

I called a bunch of people just in case.

From prosecutors to a judge.

I don't know who you are, but you seem very influential.

Let's go.

Have you eaten?

- Sorry? - Have you eaten anything?

Yes, I ate earlier.

All right, then.

I'll see you tomorrow, then.

Oh, okay.

- Do you have something to say? - No, don't mind me.

It was my first time being baffled to the point...

- that I became speechless. - She's an oddball,

but whenever I see her, I want to cheer for her.

Doesn't she put a smile on your face?

She reminds me of someone when he was younger.

Was there another tadpole as dumb as her?

Years ago, you staked out inside the sewers for 13 hours...

because you couldn't trust your client.

Then you got bitten by a rat and went to the ER.

Gosh, why are you bringing that up again?

And I wasn't hiding in there. I passed out.

I'm still traumatized. That rat.

Oh, my. Congratulations, Ms. Seo.

I heard you managed to turn the tables at the trial yesterday.

You don't need to address me politely.

Apparently, I have nothing to do with this firm.

Well, I had no choice.

He told me to print them just in case.

I'm going to let it go because of this.

The CEO of Daesun Meat and Poultry finally got arrested.

Don't play dumb.

You're the anonymous tipper that's mentioned here, right?

That's why you had Daesun Meat and Poultry's accounting report.

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

By the way, where's Mr. Go?

I'm not sure. He was there.

He wasn't like how he is now.

I fell for him when I saw him shed a tear...

while looking at a flower outside the institute.

My gosh.

Mr. Go.

Excuse me, Mr. Go.

- What's happening? - Have you read this?

The cartoonist is a genius.

How can it be this funny?

Of course. Tears, my foot.

How could he make his characters look like goldfish?

Gold... Goldfish! Like you. Bloop Bloop.

I said, stop it.

Bloop Bloop.

I want to learn things properly now.

I'll do my very best from now on.

I want to learn from you.

I'll do anything you say.

Do your best.

Everyone congratulated me on beating you.

Why do you keep provoking Mr. Go?

Because it's a way to prove myself.

My song's been stolen.

Her song got plagiarized.

Mr. Go, we'll take this on, right?

We're dealing with Monster Pervert here.

Playing by the book won't cut it.

You're bothered by it, right?

No, I want a real showdown against Tae Rim.

This time, we'll find out who's the winner.

Kang Gi Seok, try and use your brain all you want.

Don't actually do it. If you do, I won't let it slide.

- You're too close now. - You told me to make it look real.

- Come here. - No, don't.

I'm scared. You're scaring me. I said I'm scared.
