Are you really going to keep this up?

Stop creating such a mess.

You'd better stop when we're telling you nicely, okay?

Why? Why must I stop?

Do you want to humiliate everyone in the legal circles?

Aren't you scared of the consequences?

You're a mere lawyer. Know your place!

Whether those in the legal circles are humiliated, exposed,

ruin their reputation, or get bashed by the public,

I don't care at all.

I only think about winning.

So let's take this fight all the way to the end.

By the way, what are the most highly respected presiding judge...

and deputy prosecutor in the country doing here?

You folks are reacting exactly 780.5 percent times...

more sensitively than I had expected,

which means there is a dark secret that you don't want...

anyone to find out with regard to the criminal trial.

What did you just say?

I was going to dig gently so that you folks aren't hurt.

But now, it looks like I need a huge excavator.

I shall dig ruthlessly.

All of you, I sure won't let you down.

Hey!

How dare you talk so casually to us?

We have way more seniority over you. How rude!

"Seniority"? You have "way more seniority"?

Over whom? Me?

You see,

whenever I see those who create cliques based on...

their academic and personal connections,

who look down on others that are younger than them...

And just because they're rich, have high positions,

because they're employers or civil servants,

especially judges and prosecutors.

When I see authoritative jerks...

who think they're superior than others...

"Hey, eyes down."

"You little punk!"

Such words are on the tip of my tongue,

but I'm trying my very best not to utter them.

And for that reason, I think I'm being as polite as I can be.

See you.

How did that lowbrow even get into the legal circles?

Are you all right, sir?

That rude punk. I will not let this slide.

You just watch.

I'll stomp all over him to the point that he can never get up again.

Mr. Go Tae Rim is suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.

Even if he doesn't remember it, just seeing a similar situation...

can worsen his condition.

Has that happened recently?

Yes, it did happen.

- Jae In, Jae In. - Is she all right?

She's okay, right?

Seo Jae In! Seo Jae In!

Seo Jae In!

It may lead to nightmares...

or even self-destructive behaviours at times.

"Whenever I see those who create cliques based on..."

"their academic and personal connections,"

"who look down on others that are younger than them,"

"just because they're rich, have high positions,"

"or because they're employers..."

"Whenever I see such jerks..." He went on like that.

It was pretty cool.

Come to think of it, he's not one to talk...

since he always belittles me just because he's my employer.

He went a little too far with that one.

What are you talking about?

He seemed determined to go up against the entire legal circle.

Mr. Go is a very practical person.

He'd never give up money for his moral obligations.

Trust me. I could really see how determined he is.

It almost evoked a feeling of admiration in me.

Then shall we check and find out?

What on earth were you guys doing?

You should've stopped me with these arms of yours.

Is this how you thank me for raising you over the years?

That happened because you guys didn't do anything.

It's all your fault!

Sam, what's your problem? You're not sorry at all?

Is that why you're holding your head up high like that?

And look at you, Smith. You're all yellow because you're scared.

You're such a chicken.

Hey, if the client wants to drop the suit because things blow up,

I'll have to give the client a refund.

It's all your fault. Eyes down!

I can't tell you the details,

but there's a reason...

Mr. Go absolutely cannot be in this upcoming trial.

So you need to manage this one on your own.

Do you not need supplements?

Do you not want to bloom?

Will you keep going?

You know how things will end up.

Why? Are you worried?

That Tae Rim will ruin...

his own career before you take him down?

Yes. Until I beat him,

he must stay at the top.

There's not much I can do.

Unless Tae Rim stops first.

I get the feeling something's not right.

Like he's going overboard.

- Like how? - The Tae Rim I know...

wouldn't take such a gamble even for profit.

It could be just me, but it bothers me a bit.

You know him better. Do you know what's going on?

Not off the top of my head.

Tae Rim will get out somehow.

Don't worry too much.

The Tae Rim I know wouldn't take...

such a gamble even for profit.

It could be just me, but it bothers me a bit.

I judged you correctly.

You'd make a better laugh therapist than a lawyer.

You relieved me of the weight...

that had been on my genes for 25,630 years.

Please, sir.

You want to do this on your own?

Without me?

Yes. I'll do my best so as not to ruin your firm's name.

No. Ever since you chose the puppies to be on the jury,

you lost the right.

Why not say yes?

Why? Why do you want me to say yes?

Did you two make a deal while I was out?

I heard that you used to let Lawyer Kang work solo.

He might be a turncoat,

but he was on a different level from the start.

Gentle but piercing analytical skills.

Tears that elicited empathy from the opposing party.

A face that makes you trust him even when he gropes in the dark.

What about you? All you do is go chirp, chirp.

Chirp, chirp. Chirp, chirp. Chirp, chirp.

Don't compare yourself to him.

What about you then?

Are you thinking about the money now?

Is that why you went cheep, cheep to the plants?

What? Cheep, cheep?

What? You can say chirp, chirp and I can't say cheep, cheep?

You can't. Because I'm a spoonbill.

This is my cry.

I travel the whole world,

but you dig dirt in yards for worms.

No client would hire a lawyer who got on...

the court and prosecution's bad side.

If this were to go wrong, we'd go out of business.

That won't happen as long as I win 100 percent of my cases.

We have many reservations too.

Trust Lawyer Seo.

Some things just can't be done.

Ms. Min was known as a fairy pitta, a fighter chicken.

The chance that Chirp Chirp beats her is zero.

But I'll promise you this.

I'll back out of all later cases and only be her coach.

Hello. To what do I owe this call?

A blind date? I'm not interested.

What?

Hello? Hello?

Aren't you...

Are you the replacement?

How about a drink?

If you'll buy,

I'll tell you all you want to know about Jae In.

That's what she did for the talent show in our first year.

We all burst out laughing.

- I heard about that. - Isn't that hilarious?

She's such an oddball.

The copyright trial was a close one.

You must be upset you lost.

Yes.

Just 10 cents for such a famous song?

How do you know that?

I heard after it was all over.

I saw the contract that stated the 20-cent refund.

20 cents?

The woman called Charlotte gave it back to Sophia.

Do you know why Tae Rim settled and didn't use the contract in court?

It was so that you could keep your job at B and G.

I saw him in a new light after that.

Did you not know about that?

Is that how you played with me?

How dare you? Who do you think you are?

How dare you?

What...

What's that?

Mr. Gu. Mr. Gu!

What's the matter? I heard Mr. Go scream.

Mr. Gu! Mr. Gu!

- I took drastic measures. - What is this?

Follow me.

What is this?

Untie me this instant, Mr. Gu.

I don't think you're needed in court today.

Mr. Gu, please.

I'll sit and watch from the gallery.

You can't do that.

I sent all your suits to the dry cleaner's.

- You have nothing to wear. - What...

Must you do this?

Seo Jae In, untie me or you're an accomplice.

When did you prepare all that?

I once studied Houdini,

the master of escape magic.

Magic?

Then no one else can untie that.

I should head to court.

I'll work hard enough for the both of us.

Hey, hey. Chirp Chirp.

Wait like that for a while, uncomfortable as it may be.

Mr. Gu, you can't leave.

Mr. Gu. Mr. Gu. Mr. Gu.

Oh, dear.

Mr. Gu, untie me, will you?

The toilet. I can't wait.

Mr. Gu, it can't wait.

Save me.

By the way.

Yes?

You must do your best this time.

I will. I want to win this time...

and bid farewell to Chirp Chirp, goldfish, and tadpoles.

You should.

- Good luck. - Thanks.

"Judge versus prosecutor, who will win?"

"The first jury trial of its kind."

"Will a civil court overturn a criminal court ruling?"

News is really fast these days.

If the media makes an issue out of this,

it could get out of hand.

That won't happen.

Tae Rim won't want that either.

Prosecutor Hwang's anti-social and will open his own practice,

so he won't care about the outcome.

Judge Kang is ambitious, so with the media interest...

He'll try to settle out of court?

That's why Tae Rim's using the press.

The scheming jerk.

Do you have a contingency plan?

- No. - What? "No"?

If we don't make a move, he'll give up.

He wouldn't jump into the fire...

just to take out his opponent.

I think differently. Let's turn this into a bigger issue.

The press will talk about it and so will the public.

Everyone will talk about Tae Rim.

If that happens, after the trial,

there will be no room for him in our industry.

He'll be out forever and ever.

Forever.

I found some fresh herbs at the market,

so I made some pasta...

What...

How come...

How could this be?

Is he a better escape artist than Houdini?

Why do you even wear clothes like this?

It's for the role I need to play.

What?

Can you hear me?

This time, I need to pretend...

to be a con-artist who lies that he's from Hawaii.

What? A couple of first graders got into a fight?

That's according to the cop that went there after a noise complaint.

But something seemed off, so I asked around.

But no one would tell me anything.

A fight between the kids made 2m of the fence collapse,

and a small part of the flower garden got damaged?

I can guess what happened.

Although, I won't be able to use this in court.

And there's one more.

It was really hard to hack into the law firm's security system.

Good work.

I knew it.

Let's see if the senior judge and deputy prosecutor will make it.

But isn't that absurd?

I get that they're getting ready to retire.

A judge and a prosecutor are trying to please a law firm...

shows that law firms are the ones that actually hold power.

Everyone knows this, but they pretend like they don't.

And it's that judges and prosecutors...

all end up becoming attorneys.

But of course, there's no use in disclosing this connection.

Because whoever discloses it will get ostracised in this field.

They'll have to quit their career as an attorney.

Did it make you happy?

Did you really settle the last trial because of me?

And did you look down on me afterwards?

Answer me. Is that what really happened?

Why is that important?

Did you really have to trample on my pride like that?

I'd rather have you beat me fair and square in front of everyone.

Don't do this after everything's over.

It's making you look bad.

Do you know the real reason...

why I left your law firm?

You left because of money. In other words, dough.

Go Tae Rim.

I left because of you.

You always put yourself at risk,

and you live like you're always the one in despair.

And that suffocated me.

Well, I can breathe just fine.

You should get yourself a respirator.

The more you won, the more obsessed you became.

And you were living inside your own little castle and breaking down.

So back then, I thought you needed to lose...

in order to actually live a proper life.

Are you saying you went to B and G to save my life?

What a lame excuse.

Losing is a way to stay alive?

I never lost, and I'm still living just fine.

Do you really not know who it is...

that enables you to communicate with the world...

when you're nothing but spiteful and obstinate?

After having lost a couple of cases,

you must've made up your mind to become a psychotherapist.

Good thinking.

I don't care if you end up in a sewer or dig up your own grave.

But don't make Jae In end up like me.

I'll send you a bouquet of flowers when you open your own firm.

The main point of this trial is very simple.

Let's say you're walking late at night and someone suddenly...

did this to you.

You would've felt scared and thought you could've almost died.

But if you had an umbrella in your hand when that happened,

don't you think you would've tried to fight back?

Cause and effect. That's all true.

But let's confirm why my client...

showed up with a golf club in her hands.

On the day of the incident, Ms. Lee checked the intercom...

because someone urgently started ringing her doorbell.

And she saw Ms. Hyun holding a pair of pruning shears.

You could say that Ms. Lee was the one who felt scared.

So in order to defend herself, she showed up with a golf club.

The person who came to her place...

with a pair of pruning shears in the first place was Ms. Hyun.

I don't think we'll need to see how the trial turns out.

Monster Pervert acted all though,

but it seems like he got scared and went into hiding.

If he wants to survive in this industry,

he'll have no choice but to stay quiet.

We should set a date and have a meal together.

Goodness, sure. I should treat you to a meal.

Great.

Thank you for your help.

I'll treat you to a meal one day.

You two look very friendly with each other.

I thought he wasn't going to come today.

He's dressed like he came to a party or something.

Goodness.

Tell Prosecutor Hwang to withdraw the suit right now.

- Do it immediately! - Why are you to give me orders?

You're the one who should do a better job.

What just happened?

Is this how you're going to be?

Let's see who wins, then.

Counsel, why are you dressed like that?

I had no choice but to wear this due to a natural disaster...

that was as bad as an earthquake, a tsunami, and a flood.

I heard your family and her family got along well...

until two months ago when there was a barbecue party. Am I correct?

Yes.

What happened that day?

Why did you prepare so much?

- It's not much. - Hey!

- Just get the spoons ready. - Goodness.

Dad, I just heard something from In Woo.

Did his dad really get better grades than you?

We were pretty much similar.

See?

No, that's wrong. My mom told me that my dad became a judge...

because he was way smarter.

Gosh, stop talking nonsense and just go have fun.

No, you're wrong. My mom told me that prosecutors...

are more powerful than judges.

My dad's the one who catches bad people!

Goodness, that's not really correct.

One word from the judge can change a person's life.

Judges are more powerful than prosecutors.

Gosh, you must not know very well.

If a prosecutor puts his or her mind to it,

they can send congressmen, businessmen,

and even judges to jail.

Did you not watch the news? A judge recently got sent to jail...

for having received bribery.

Things became uncomfortable after that day, so we stopped meeting up.

Are you sure it's not because you started to hate each other?

According to your neighbours,

you two always had arguments regarding how to recycle trash...

and how high a fence should be.

I heard there were frequent disputes regarding the noise as well.

She always started a fight for no reason, so I just fought back.

You guys weren't on very good terms,

so did it not cross your mind that she might've misunderstood...

if you visited her with a pair of pruning shears?

I didn't even know I was holding them.

I'm serious.

Do you normally play golf?

Not recently.

To be more exact, you didn't play at all for the past two years.

Yes, I think it's been about that long.

When that's the case,

don't people normally put their golf bags away?

Where did you put the golf bag?

In the small room.

To be more exact, it was kept in the built-in closet...

that's located in the very corner of that room. Am I correct?

Yes.

In that case, when someone suddenly feels fear,

they're bound to grab whatever is closest to them.

They normally don't go searching for something that's hard to find.

It looked like a knife.

That's why I figured I needed something long.

Did you not expect that Ms. Hyun would come visit you...

if you made too much noise with your laundry...

while her son was playing the piano?

No, I didn't know she'd come.

Are you sure?

She already answered "no".

I just want to check if the plaintiff is...

trying to disguise herself as the victim.

I'm sure the jury is thinking of the same thing.

That's not true. I really didn't know she'd come,

and I also didn't know she'd come with a pair of pruning shears.

I'm sure you couldn't predict what she might bring along.

But the moment you saw Ms. Hyun holding a pair of pruning shears...

on the intercom screen,

are you sure you didn't plan to use that as an excuse to assault her?

Objection.

She's insulting the plaintiff based on groundless speculations.

Objection overruled.

No, it is not true.

Witness, is it really untrue?

Your Honour, this is considered coercion.

The witness already answered that question.

Just as a side note, if I were scared,

I would've never opened the door in a situation like that.

All jurors, what do you think?

Witness, didn't you deliberately create the situation...

so that you could attack her?

Your Honour, you are leading the witness at the moment.

Plaintiff's counsel, watch what you say.

Witness, answer the question.

I...

I really...

Ms. Lee Jong Mi, please don't say anything.

Why did you open the door if you felt like you were in danger?

Didn't you deliberately plan to assault the defendant,

thinking you'd be able to insist it was an act of self-defense?

Please stop, Your Honour. Don't you think you're out of line?

That was...

That was...

Ms. Lee, please don't say anything.

Attorney Seo Jae In, you don't have the authority to stop her testimony.

I order you to leave the courtroom immediately.

Pardon me? Leave the courtroom?

Please leave this instant!

All of you, collect as much kickbacks as you want!

Let go.

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

No, Your Honour. I rest my case.

All right. That'd be all for today, due to time constraints.

What came first? The chicken or the egg?

The scissors or the golf club?

The piano or shaking the blanket?

Trying to figure that out is completely useless.

It also has nothing to do with why this jury trial was requested.

As you all saw just now,

this trial is turning into a big collusion.

A little push from the side, and a junk card each.

Then a bunch of penalty points.

To have the opponent's penalty doubled and quadrupled!

Do you care to elaborate?

Dear jurors.

You see, trials are like sailing.

Depending on who paddles,

you can go to the mountains, the ocean, the stream, or the lake.

You can even go as far as Alaska, the Himalayas,

the equator, or the North Pole...

Plaintiff's counsel, what's your point?

I request to question both parties' husbands,

Prosecutor Hwang Tae Ho and Judge Kang In Chan, as witnesses.

And what's your reason for it?

Those two provided the real reason behind what went down.

This is the report the substation received...

two months ago on the day of their barbecue party.

Apparently, 2m of the wall was knocked down...

and planters broke because their kids fought.

- So what? - Their kids are only seven.

Unless they're martial arts masters...

or have supernatural powers, it's impossible.

Hence, based on all circumstantial evidence, it's speculated...

that Prosecutor Hwang and Judge Kang tussled with each other.

Ergo, we must find out why they fought that day...

in order to determine...

what could be justified between the scissors and the golf club.

Overruled. The request is unrelated to the case.

Yes, go ahead.

I'd like to hear their answers. Could they be called in?

Yes, it seems important.

We must hear what they have to say to find out why it happened.

Dear jurors, you all saw that, right?

Depending on who paddles, a trial can go...

to Uganda, Papua New Guinea,

Mount Kilimanjaro, the end of the Andes,

Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia, Ulaanbaatar in Mongolia...

Plaintiff's counsel, that's enough!

Fine.

Request accepted.

I rest my case.

You know, don't you?

You must know why Tae Rim is being like that.

What happened in the past?

Panellists, what are your thoughts?

The verdict of self-defense shouldn't be given easily.

It raises serious questions about fairness in law enforcement.

I agree.

Both the court and the prosecution...

won't be able to avoid tainting their public image.

All he cares about is money.

That's why people call him "Monster Pervert".

Mr. Go Tae Rim, the lawyer with such a nickname,

trying to cause a rift between the court and the prosecution?

That, in itself, is a comedy.

Gosh, as a lawyer...

Well, I'm an accountant.

Chewing, tasting, and enjoying meat

- Gosh, you startled me. - You did that interview, right?

Oh, my. You sure are my family. How did you recognize me?

I took Monster Pervert down in one blow.

Anyone could tell it's you, Yoon Sang Koo.

Please. Please don't do things that I never asked you to do, okay?

Rather than expecting my employer to do things for me,

I'd like to do things for the firm first.

Don't do anything for the firm! Please!

Please!

Gosh, don't you think you're so mean to me?

You've been looking lonely since my sister left for Canada,

so I bought premium-quality beef to grill some steaks for you!

"Lonely"? "Upset" is more accurate.

I'm so upset because of you right now!

Premium-quality beef? You can stuff your face with it.

Eat it all by yourself.

Gosh.

"Upset"?

Let's see if you can still say that when you're caught red-handed.

You must be very busy caring for your wife as well as your mistress.

Who's this woman that buys him beef all the time?

My gosh, what are reporters doing here?

Did something happen at this house?

Do you know the lawyer who lives here?

His name is Go Tae Rim.

Oh, Lawyer Go Tae Rim?

He told me he was bolting to get away from you reporters.

I saw him hailing a cab down the street.

Monster Pervert is running away. Let's get him!

- Where is he? - Where? Let's catch him!

Get him!

Why do you keep changing your mind?

I know that you like being in front of the camera,

but it's distracting people from what really matters in the trial.

It's all your fault, Chirp Chirp.

Why is it my fault?

You got kicked out because you kept talking back to the judge.

What does that have to do with your witness request?

What you did provoked the aggressiveness in me,

which I was trying my hardest to suppress,

and made me do what I shouldn't have done.

I did it because I was concerned that we might lose.

You can blame it on your plants like you did last time,

but you'd better not blame me.

Did you see how many people nodded when you were making your case?

Zero. No one!

No one could relate to your argument.

Both of you, please calm down.

Dozens of reporters are outside. What are you two doing now?

Reporters?

Are you all right? Are you okay?

Mr. Go. Mr. Go!

I was reminded of this trial.

He required five weeks of treatment, and yet it was ruled self-defense?

Take care of it quickly.

My gosh.

What was that about?

I'm sorry. Are you all right?

What?

You're sorry?

Look at this. You smeared poop all over me.

Will this do?

Can't you let me off?

This isn't how the world should work.

There's no such thing as privacy.

Why are there cameras everywhere?

A 10-dollar bill and 2 dollar bills.

That's just 12 dollars.

My clothes cost thousands...

and 12 dollars is it?

I'm sorry but that's all I have.

Is that so?

I see.

You shouldn't do something you'd be sorry for.

You always say you're sorry.

You keep apologizing and that makes me feel bad.

- Is this all you have? - Save me.

This is practically nothing!

Give and take.

You don't even know the basic law of economics.

That's why you live like this.

The Money War.

Don't just collect books for sale. Read them too.

If you're ignorant, learn.

You're not grateful for my teaching.

Recovery will take five weeks,

but the old man was at death's door.

The assailant was Hankang Group's chairman's son.

Here's my ruling.

Defendant Sung Gi Jun is not guilty.

Based on the severity of the wounds and the witness' statement,

I have enough reason to take this to be self-defense.

Therefore the defendant is not guilty.

Not so long after, it happened.

Who are you?

Let go. Let go.

Let me go!

Tae Rim. Oh, no.

Tae Rim.

That's why Chairman Sung ordered Tae Rim to be assaulted?

I don't know if Chairman Sung or Sung Gi Jun ordered it,

but it'll be one of them.

But there's no proof.

Tae Rim himself knew that.

That's why he said he has no memory.

That trauma...

made Tae Rim rant in court.

That's what I think.

This trial is about self-defense, just like the other one.

That's what is bothering Tae Rim.

I told him to talk about me, not some nonsense.

They're always on about Tae Rim.

Why is he still alive?

Hey. How is Mr. Go?

He'll be fine. He took some medicine.

Why is he like that?

Is this what you tried to tell me about last time?

Is he sick?

Rather than physical, it's more of a mental issue.

That can't be.

He's meticulous and thorough.

We'll discuss that later. As I asked you,

you must find evidence...

that will win this case.

That way, Mr. Go won't have to get involved.

Darn you.

You know, I'm all about give and take.

Whether it's money or punches...

or a life.

And interest is a must.

Can I help you?

Hi. I'd like to ask you a few questions about...

- what happened next door. - I have nothing to say.

Just a moment. Ma'am.

Are you home?

Is anyone in?

The lady who lives there will be at her flower arrangement class.

Flower arrangement?

Why do people even learn that?

You can't make money off it.

All the women here who like to show off...

go there just to gossip and slander.

My goodness.

Flower arrangement?

My goodness.

I feel the fresh, new energy of spring.

This looks adorable and is full of warmth.

I don't get what this piece is supposed to mean.

- The strength of a woman? - Strength?

A housewife's efforts?

- Efforts? - Efforts?

Pain. Sadness.

A housewife supporting her husband.

I get that now.

Young ladies these days don't want to learn this.

You have interesting taste.

My mother-in-law loves flowers.

She even talks to them.

"Sam, are you looking back at me?"

"Smith, you're pale with fear."

You're so sweet.

You care about your mother-in-law.

I heard the neighbourhood is talking about a trial.

- Why is that? - Oh, that?

They're talking about a judge and a prosecutor.

Why should neighbours have to go to court?

This is a secret,

but an ambulance was called that day.

The judge was stabbed or something.

He was bleeding from here.

Here?

Yes, I saw it with my own eyes.

Right here.

This has to stay secret.

My kid took this while passing by.

How could neighbours do this?

My gosh.

Tae Rim dropped a request for a witness?

Yes.

He knows there's no point in summoning...

a prosecutor or judge to testify.

You can stop worrying about him.

Only as long as he doesn't think about his trauma.

Are you saying I'll get him...

worked up just to win?

That's not what I mean.

Don't worry.

I don't want to go that far to win.

Is it really Tae Rim you're worried about or Jae In?

I guess...

it's not just the captain who dies when the ship sinks.

- Who's dying? - What?

- What did she say? - About what?

Weren't you talking about me?

Oh, that...

This is unfair, even if it was just for drinks.

I went to Jae In just to show her my heart.

An unfulfilled promise is a debt.

Even as we speak, you're incurring interest.

- Brother. - Your debt's increasing.

Brother.

There's a saying in Egypt, Africa.

"Fall into the Nile. Then you can catch fish."

I've never been to the Nile and I don't like raw fish.

Keep your promise.

I should. I will.

- Keep your word. - Sure.

He's just not trustworthy.

But then, there are those who cheat...

when they're married.

He's fallen for a woman with a flowing scarf.

I have my suspicions but no proof.

There must be something. What is that?

That's it.

You even steal things now?

Of course not.

I was cleaning.

I was in charge of cleaning up until a while ago,

and it became a habit.

Gosh, this place needs to be cleaned again.

Why?

- What do you mean? - Why are you here?

Why?

I feel like hugging you in my arms...

and jumping off from this building right now.

That trauma made Tae Rim rant in court.

That's what I think.

This trial is about self-defense, just like the other one.

That's what is bothering Tae Rim.

Get out. Get out!

If you want to destroy Monster Pervert,

you should provoke him with the past self-defense case.

What are you talking about? What past self-defense case?

Monster Pervert apparently... I mean, he has a trauma.

I couldn't understand why he kept causing a fuss about this case.

But this wasn't all planned?

It was all an impulsive reaction?

Well, yes.

Good job!

I knew you'd do something great one day.

- Great job. - No problem.

I didn't do anything much.

- I'll be off now. - Okay.

Something great? What's he talking about?

All I did was tell him what I heard.

And he calls that something great?

I'm sure it'll be fine.

Geniuses don't need to learn. They're just always good.

Yes, that's... That's right.

But why am I stuttering so much?

Hello. It's me, Bang Dae Han.

I have a favour to ask.

Professor Song, what brings you here?

I dropped by for something.

Gosh, look at you. You're dressed lightly again.

It's still cold at night.

You should dress warmer to stay healthy.

What about you?

I'm still wearing winter clothes.

Now that I've aged, I really hate being cold.

- I'll go now. - Okay, bye.

Yes, Mr. Bang.

You want me to resign from the case?

I'm on my way out,

so how about we have dinner together? Yes.

Dinner? He seems to be in a good mood.

But it won't last for long.

Why? Because I caught you.

I can't resign from the case.

I want to finish what I've started.

We might end up suffering from his mistakes.

That won't happen, sir.

I assure you.

It's the same scarf from last time.

I can't believe I was right.

How could you do this, Dae Han?

My sister's working so hard to raise the kids abroad.

How could you do this to her?

Gosh, my sister...

My sister...

My goodness.

My poor sister.

This is not right.

I can't turn a blind eye on something like this.

I'm going to get up...

and do what I need to do for my sister.

Take this, you traitor!

What do you think you're doing?

Ms. Min, what are you doing here?

That's the scarf.

Are you two going out?

Are you guys having an affair?

What? What did you just say?

No?

Gosh, thank goodness.

Yoon Sang Koo.

- Sang Koo! - Yoon Sang Koo!

Get over here! Come here!

It's all for the best.

What kind of a woman throws a punch first?

If I married her, I would've always gotten beaten up.

How can an attorney be so violent?

Hey, Mr. Yoon.

I'm here to keep my promise.

This is enough to pay off my debt, right?

You can see for yourself.

What debt?

My gosh, no.

No! No!

This isn't from me.

Mr. Yoon told me to give it to you.

There he is.

Why now?

Sang Koo.

Open up. I said, open up.

No, I can't. I... I can't.

What is this? Tell me.

Are you trying to get me angry?

What is this?

No, don't look at it. It's nothing.

"With all my heart"?

What is this?

It... It doesn't mean much.

Open the door.

You little...

You really need to get to your senses.

Bye.

What's this? Am I crying?

What? My brother-in-law isn't cheating on my sister,

and I'm not dating a violent woman. Everything's great.

So why am I crying?

Don't come near me, Mr. Gu.

I don't care what you say. I'm going to go.

I should congratulate Chirp Chirp on her first win.

I won't do anything else other than that.

Yes, of course.

But there's a lot of fine dust today.

You need to stay healthy.

Oh, that's a new kind of mask. It stays stuck on your face.

It won't come off for a few hours.

What? I'm sorry. I don't understand what you're trying to say.

He asked if this is really necessary.

You understood that?

That's weird. How can I understand him?

Goodness, I didn't get a single word of what you just said.

My ears filter out things I don't want to hear.

We'll be off now.

This was taken by an elementary school kid that was passing by.

Hey, let me go!

You used to cheat back when we were in school!

- You never got good grades! - Hey!

You jerk!

- Hey, let me go! - You scumbag!

- Hey! - Stop!

Right here. Please take a look at the screen.

Ms. Hyun's husband, Mr. Kang, ended up falling...

on the fence while they were fighting,

and he ended up injuring his stomach.

This is his medical record.

It says here that he got five stitches because of that.

- Goodness. - Gosh.

Don't you think it's strange?

This is where Mr. Kang's injury is located.

And this is where Ms. Lee was stabbed by Defendant Hyun Ji Sook,

who claims that it was an act of self-defense.

If we put the two together, you'll see the locations are identical.

- My gosh. - What does that mean?

Objections. Plaintiff's counsel is making a groundless speculation.

Right, it could be a pure coincidence.

But...

why do I get a feeling that it may not be the case?

That'd be all.

The verdict of self-defense can be interpreted...

as a social acknowledgement of the justness of the action.

If the person who committed the act of self-defense is put under...

any kind of pressure, wouldn't you say it's more unfair?

Sure, the plaintiff can be displeased with the verdict.

But just because her husband is a judge?

Because they were both stabbed in the stomach?

Disobeying the verdict based on such groundless speculations...

is an act of questioning the law and constitutionalism.

Is this the best you can do?

How could you have the audacity to get paid?

Defendant Sung Gi Jun, who's sitting over there,

beat up a man, who's old enough to be his father, to a pulp.

All of you know that.

But I bet the verdict will be self-defense.

Am I wrong?

Prosecutor Park Byeong Doo...

is ordered to be detained for a day for contempt of court.

Guards.

Fine! Accept as many bribes as you want!

Who cares whether or not the laws of the country go to ruins?

All of you, collect as much kickbacks as you want!

Let go!

Thank you for all your help.

I'll arrange a dinner meeting soon.

Frankly, I'd like to see them...

going back to being friendly neighbours to each other.

However, regardless of the cause,

they've already come way too far for that to happen.

We, as humans, abide by values such as manners, moral obligations,

and consideration for each other before we have to discuss the law.

If one party suffered damage due to the outcome of the incident,

I'd like to see the defendant making a concession...

even for the sake of such human emotions.

That'd be all.

Do you know what this is?

The most successful law firm in the country.

The law firm that only deals with the most powerful.

Even the name of the firm is High Law Firm.

This is their appointee list.

Cut it.

Look, what is this about?

What comes down to is that you have to do what you're asked...

by your superior, even if it's unfair or you don't want to do it.

Who the client is...

and the details of the case don't matter.

Who represents the client...

determines the verdict. This depressing truth...

is the reality of our legal system.

A man who deliberately hurt himself...

after beating up someone to a pulp...

just to claim that the assault was mutual.

He gets to walk away with self-defense?

He gets acquitted?

Mr. Go.

Everyone who worked on the case,

from the criminal judge and the prosecutor to the lawyer,

is on this list.

Do you all understand what I'm saying?

So this was it?

You lied to me because you were after this?

I'm truly impressed by you.

Yes, that's right. It went very well.

Yes, right. Okay.

For the very first time, I was proud of joining this firm.

You joined the firm? You're a slave in debt.

You were sold.

Either way,

I'm very glad I'm part of this firm.

You were so cool today. You rocked.

Hello? Oh, I see.

Of course. I understand.

Mr. Gu, are people still calling to complain?

No, it's not that. The phone's been ringing off the hook all day...

with people who wish to cancel their appointments or contracts with us.

And that call was about the last case we had left.

Pardon me? All of it? Everything got cancelled?

What about my brand image? There must've been an error.

This isn't right. It can't be.

This can't be...

No way.

Gosh, what on earth did I do?

My clients...

My clients. My fees. My money!

My money! My money.

Here, right here.

My money, my money, my money.

Yes, Mr. Gu.

Yes, I'm looking around to see if we can sell anything for money.

I'm fine.

Money comes and goes, you know.

I'm still happy that I'm part of this firm.

Yes, right. Have a safe journey with Mr. Go.

Okay.

This is Lawyer Seo Jae In at Go Tae Rim Law Firm.

Put him on the phone!

- Hello? - Put Go Tae Rim on the phone!

Hello?

I don't know who you are, but you're being very rude now.

All he does is stomp all over the powerless.

He made all that money by siding with the rich like a cockroach.

And what? "The reality of our legal system"?

Why copy my pleading after all these years? Why?

Let me talk to him. Put that greedy rat on the phone!

Sorry? Mr. Go copied your pleading?

No, no. Don't go!

No!

You've never been on it for the past three years.

I was always sailing across the ocean in my mind.

There's a world of difference between being able to go anytime...

and not being able to go for the rest of your life.

My yacht... My sailing life.

My plan to sail around the world.

Considering the firm's current financial situation,

you'll have to sell your golf membership, which you've never used,

the vacation house in Yongpyong,

as well as your three imported cars, which you've never driven.

You'll have to sell all of them.

I absolutely cannot do that.

No!

No way!

What's this?

What... What is this?

Did he suddenly feel guilty or something?

That mean jerk.

Monster Pervert.

Monster Pervert!

Who is it? Who's badmouthing me right now?

Who is it?

Monster Pervert!

No one's going to hire you as their attorney,

so let's change it to "Seo Jae In Law Firm".

I'll just buy this office. Hey, Tae Rim.

Chirp Chirp seems to have lost her mind.

Yes, Ms. Seo Jae In!

Who?

Yoo Ha Rin?

Are you Go Tae Rim, the best attorney there is?

- Why did you ask for me? - Help me cut ties with her.

- Who? - My mom.

Do you know how hard I worked to make her become a star?

This article recently got published.

This is absurd.

You'll have to brace yourself in order to deal with that attorney.

Resign from the case and start defending a trading company.

- I can't do that. - Then just quit working here.

Mr. Gu, I really need to go to the bathroom! Mr. Gu!

Mr. Gu!

What? Did I just untie myself?

Goodness. Gosh, my stomach.

That wasn't so hard.
