THE JUDGE RETURNS

EPISODE 6

Hello, I'm Lee Han-young.

I'm Yu Seon-cheol.

Please, you don't need to be so formal.

Seon-cheol

your life is in my hands now.

PROSECUTOR GENERAL EOM JUN-HO

I'll make Prosecutor General Eom

Haenal Law Firm's legal advisor.

What did you say?

Mr. Eom, the Prosecutor General, sir?

You really don't need to be so formal.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Dad!

What is this guy doing here?

Did you invite him?

I'll tell you later.

- You can head out for now. - No.

Why should I leave when my old date is here?

Get out.

Come on!

Drop by my office before you go.

Okay?

You can join us.

I'm here to see you, anyway.

Mr. Eom will become

Haenal Law Firm's legal advisor, without a doubt.

What are you saying?

I wouldn't want anything more than that.

But

what's in it for you?

Hire an attorney for Ms. Yu.

For our very own Ms. Yu not to have one

as a Team Manager is

a little embarrassing, you know?

"Our Ms. Yu"?

Don't call me that!

Come with me right now.

Come on!

I need my briefcase!

My gosh!

Prosecutor General Eom...

Man.

How are you going to make Mr. Eom work for us?

He's turned down every law firm

including this one, you know?

Oh

are you trying to impress me?

Just keep your head down and come to me when it's time.

But don't even think about acting like my husband

physically and emotionally.

And going forward...

Was she always so chatty?

No.

Actually, just don't come again.

I'll just see you at our wedding.

Wait, why am I holding this?

Here.

Get out already, then.

What are you doing?

Huh?

I need your help

to get Mr. Eom to join this firm.

- Sorry? - I'll call you later.

What?

What the hell?

Huh?

Honey, get me a towel!

I told you to take one on your way in.

Stay there! You're getting water all over.

What's the towel doing there?

Maybe it grew legs and ran away.

What?

Let's see.

Where are your legs?

Han-young

do you want to shower or eat first?

I just started making some stew.

Back then, I had no idea

how much I'd miss

her precious voice.

I'll eat first.

Han-young, have you seen the legs

on our towels?

What legs?

Your mom said my towel grew legs and ran, but I couldn't find them.

Where did they go?

- Right there. - Where?

Right there.

Oh, it's running.

- Here. - Huh?

Han-young

don't play along with his jokes.

You're spoiling him.

SEOUL CENTRAL DISTRICT COURT

Sin-jin will want to know

whether I'll do his homework or not

now that I don't need his ticket to Seoul.

Hey!

No!

- I haven't met Ms. Kim yet. - Who are you?

Yoon-hyeok!

Right on! That was smooth.

Are you in Seoul now?

Yeah, I am. We're in the same office.

Oh, really?

What are you doing?

It's heavy.

Why don't you just get your own?

Why? I can just use yours.

What was that?

Why was he being so awkward?

Hello.

You!

Yes, sir.

I haven't said anything yet.

I won't go after Mr. Jang Tae-sik again

without definite evidence.

Now, we're talking!

I'll make sure

to crush Mr. Jang

with definite evidence.

Give up on arresting Tae-sik?

There's no way.

INAUGURATION OF BAEK YI-SEOK AS THE 20TH CHIEF JUDGE OF THE SEOUL COURT

Be careful.

- I got it. - Hold the ladder properly.

Canceling the inauguration ceremony

for a last-minute meeting with the presiding judges?

This is ridiculous.

He's cracking the whip from his first day to bring the judges to heel.

You need to take action.

Watch your mouth.

The Judiciary is a mess.

A Chief Justice from Jeju

and a Chief Judge from the Chungnam Court?

What is this, the uprising of small-town judges?

No uprising ever leads to success, anyway.

SEOUL CENTRAL DISTRICT COURT

Hello, everyone. I'm Baek Yi-seok.

The Seoul Central District Court

is currently not doing well enough to celebrate my inauguration.

So, I canceled the ceremony.

The Judiciary exists for the people.

Therefore, our judicial authority

must not become a source of privilege and power.

Chief Justice.

Your statement seems to suggest

that we, as judges, use our ruling authority in court

for inappropriate purposes.

Is that wrong?

- Sorry? - Is that not true?

Everyone...

Please be respectful to each other.

This is his wise counsel in lieu of his inaugural speech.

From this day forward

there will be no judicial favoritism for former colleagues at this court.

If such conduct is found

it will be considered collusion or inappropriate preferential treatment.

Congratulations on your inauguration.

Shouldn't we make a plan?

He had a good point. No need for a plan.

How many presiding judges do you think are on my side?

There are probably more judges on Mr. Kang's side.

Don't you want to know

where Sin-jin's power comes from?

It can't just be from his position as the Senior Presiding Judge.

I'll look into it.

Is Judge Lee also starting today?

Yes, sir.

I'll stop Chairman Woo Gyo-hun

using Prosecutor General Eom.

How?

Mr. Eom's son is

doing drugs in the States.

- So? - And so is Gyo-hun's daughter.

Is she also in the States?

No, she lives in Korea.

She's a senior at Hancheon University.

In Korea.

Yeah, in Korea.

You got a real good one.

How's that?

I got a real good one, didn't I?

But you're already in Seoul

so how should I reciprocate?

Do you want anything?

Let me take Prosecutor General Eom.

What?

WOMAN SLAPPING HER DATE, WHO'S A JUDGE

You need to bring a gift to marry Haenal Law Firm's daughter?

I have nothing to offer them.

So, I plan on making Mr. Eom

Haenal's legal advisor.

Okay.

That'll be my wedding gift for you.

Congratulations in advance.

Thank you, sir.

Kang Sin-jin

you're not going to a wedding.

You're going to court.

He knows exactly how to use me

to his advantage.

SENIOR PRESIDING JUDGE KANG SIN-JIN

Why is Han-young

coming out of here?

Why?

Have they known each other for a while?

How am I supposed to ask Han-young about this?

Well, what's wrong with asking some questions?

Just ask him. Go ahead.

Call him.

Oh, gosh.

BAEK YI-SEOK, CHIEF JUDGE

Yes, Mr. Baek.

Right now?

Yes, sir.

Why does he need to see Han-young?

Maybe he already knows about it.

Judge Lee.

Yes, Mr. Baek.

Take the Nammyeon District sinkhole case.

Sorry?

Why are you surprised?

Well, you know...

It's just that people have so many theories

about what caused the sinkhole.

Don't you think it's too big a task

for Judge Lee?

The sinkhole in Nammyeon District.

The victims started blaming

the Nammyeon District Office

when the investigation started going nowhere.

In particular

the casualties were the biggest issue.

The press will attack the court

if we only consider the technicalities

letting emotion override the law in court is

also very risky.

Right?

He doesn't want such a tricky case.

Hey, Jeong-ho.

I think Woo Gyo-hun is mixed up with the Nammyeon District Mayor.

Looks like Taemyeong Construction paid them off pretty well.

In return for getting all projects from Nammyeon District.

Leave it to me, and I'll do my best.

You brought the case onto yourself

so you'd better do well.

Yes, sir.

By the way

have you seen her since moving to Seoul?

- Who? - Who else?

Where's my follow-up after that viral first date?

Don't leave me hanging.

You really have no news for me?

- Don't make me look into it. - There's nothing.

Anything else, then?

You got anything else to tell me?

Maybe you can look into it yourself.

Bye, then.

Man!

Ms. Yu

I'm calling you to discuss Prosecutor General Eom.

The Nammyeon District sinkhole case.

The truth behind the sinkhole was revealed only after a change in administration.

Dad said he was somewhere around here.

Where is he?

Maybe there?

Bamtol!

Ta-da!

MY ADORABLE SON MIN-GU

Hey, Min-gu.

Hey, Dad.

Where are you?

Me? Just across the street.

Across the street?

I don't see you.

Do you see me waving?

Oh, there you are.

I'll be right over.

Okay!

- Oh, no! - Goodness!

HAND-PULLED SUJEBI AND KALGUKSU

Sir!

Are you okay?

Min-gu!

- Don't go! - Stop!

Bamtol!

Bamtol!

Bamtol!

Please help!

Min-gu!

Take anything that can be used as evidence.

Major Chu Yong-jin of Nammyeon District

was the head of the Obok gang

and the head of Taemyeon Construction was the gang's enforcer.

The investigation revealed

that the sinkhole was caused by faulty water and sewer construction.

But

in the trial regarding the casualties

the Nammyeon District Office won in appeal, too

and the Supreme Court dismissed the appeal of the bereaved families.

MAYOR CHU MUST SPEAK THE TRUTH BEHIND THE SINKHOLE

We demand an apology from Mayor Chu!

- Apologize! - Apologize!

Nammyeon District Office, take accountability!

- Take accountability! - Take accountability!

We demand an apology from Mayor Chu!

- Apologize! - Apologize!

Let's take a break.

You must be exhausted.

Have some water.

You must be exhausted.

Have some water.

Have some...

Wow.

Where was this?

I'm guessing this is from a trip with your son.

I'm

Song Na-yeon, a reporter with Daejin Daily.

I'm not interested.

Okay.

Okay, see you later.

Bye.

Why did Mr. Lim want to see you?

Mr. Baek assigned me to a case.

- Which case? - The Nammyeon District sinkhole case.

Damn, everyone's already talking about how messy it is.

He's too harsh on you. You literally just moved here.

I know.

What is she doing here?

Come in.

What brings you here?

I'd like to talk to him.

Oh, hey.

Had no idea judge offices looked like this.

Looks ugly.

Why don't we head out?

JUDGE LEE HAN-YOUNG JUDGE KIM YOON-HYEOK

Unbelievable.

When did he get himself a girl?

How does he have time?

Wait, is that Yu Se-hee from Haenal?

Should we sit here?

You're at the Central Court now?

Yup, this is my first day.

If you called me to be your lunch buddy, this is the last time.

Eating alone is trendy now. Get used to it.

I managed to get Sin-jin and Seon-cheol on my side

by using Gyo-hun.

But not Jang Tae-sik yet.

I went after Jang Tae-sik as soon as I became a prosecutor.

Do you know Prosecutor Kim Jin-a?

Jin-a?

Do you need more lunch buddies to alternate between?

I'm curious about her. I hear she's principled.

I already helped you on Kim Sang-jin's case for losing the bet.

As you know, I hate owing anyone anything.

You moved to Seoul after busting the draft dodgers, yeah?

Yeah.

But don't credit yourself for it. You only read the list.

What? But I found that list.

Really?

Wait, really?

Are you serious?

Not letting yourself owe anyone anything

must be so tiring.

Ms. Kim joined the prosecution two years after I did.

I found Gyo-hun's daughter.

I'll head in as soon as the club opens.

Let's all have dinner together. My treat.

Hey, everyone.

Excuse me.

Hello, there.

Wait, let me see your faces.

What a mess.

Who are you?

Hey, who are you?

Me?

An angel.

- Hello. - Who are you?

A new bodyguard?

Hey, make sure I look pretty in the photo.

I sure will.

Hold on.

Hold this. You'll look prettier.

Stunning!

Right on. Look here.

PROSECUTOR GENERAL EOM JUN-HO

SEOUL CENTRAL DISTRICT COURT

PROSECUTOR GENERAL EOM JUN-HO

The woman in the photo is the daughter of Woo Gyo-hun

the Ministry of Justice candidate.

Kids don't always turn out the way their parents want.

Whether it be

a daughter or a son.

Who are you?

Thank you for hiring me in Seoul.

I told you I'd do it soon.

Keep a good eye on Yi-seok here, too.

And Han-young.

Sure

but why Han-young, too?

Because Yi-seok brought him here.

Keeping an eye on Han-young is

an extension of keeping an eye on Yi-seok.

Yes, sir.

Oh, right.

Yu Se-hee from Haenal

visited Han-young today.

- Did she? - Yes, sir.

I hear the two might be getting married.

Good work.

Hello.

I'm Yu Se-hee, the Team Manager at Haenal Law Firm.

The person you spoke to on the phone will be here soon.

He works nearby.

Is Seon-cheol behind this?

Do as I say when you meet Mr. Eom, okay?

No, my father doesn't know about this.

Your father? That means Mr. Yu is...

Yes.

Gosh, this is heavy.

Hello.

I'm Judge Lee Han-young at the Seoul Central Court.

What is a judge from the Seoul Central Court doing

with the daughter of Haenal's Partner?

I'm sure you've seen the photos by now.

These are all the evidence collected from the scene.

This is enough

to justify an emergency arrest of Gyo-hun's daughter.

Why should I do that?

I've already told you.

Kids don't always turn out the way their parents want.

Whether it be a daughter or a son.

The fact that Jun-ho is here means

he understands what's going on with his son in Washington, DC.

Stop with this nonsense and go home.

Cross the line again

and you'll both pay for it.

What time is it in Washington, DC?

It's 8:40 p.m. here

so it should be 7:40 a.m. there.

Do you think the employees at Haenal's DC office are at work now?

Of course.

Haenal has a branch in the US.

Do you know anyone there?

No.

But everyone there should know who I am.

That should work.

What the hell are you doing?

Yes, Ms. Yu.

You ready?

Yes, Mr. Eom's son had a party last night

so we took videos and collected all evidence of drug use.

Should I report him to the police now?

ANDREW CHOI

Sorry.

OFFICE FOR MINISTER OF JUSTICE CONFIRMATION HEARING PREPARATION

It's just a confirmation hearing.

I just have to get through one day.

Don't worry about me, Mr. Kang.

Just focus on serving His Excellency.

So you can become a Justice or even the Chief Justice

you know?

I don't know if I have what it takes.

If it's about your humble upbringing, don't worry about it.

The higher you climb

the better people will make your story sound.

I heard

you grew up at a brothel in Cheongnyangni.

Is that true?

I'm just curious.

No, sir.

Right. Of course not.

I knew I didn't need to believe that.

I grew up in a high-end hostess bar.

Babe!

- Oh, gosh. - Babe.

- Oh, no. - Watch your steps.

- Promise you'll be back tomorrow, babe. - Tomorrow?

Yeah, I'll come back.

- Be careful. - Alright.

I'll be back tomorrow.

Can you get home okay?

See you tomorrow.

- See you tomorrow, babe. - Yeah, see you.

The food is ready.

- Eat up. - Thank you.

- Thanks for the food. - Oh, we have jeon, too.

Oh, I see!

People really don't know what they're talking about.

A high-end hostess bar!

Let's visit one after the confirmation hearing.

You can tell me all about the old times.

JUDGE LEE HAN-YOUNG

I don't know.

Not sure if we'll have time for that.

We can always make time.

Whoa, this is crazy!

I was on a roll!

Let's celebrate with a drink.

Next time. Gotta finish this one up.

You can go home first.

I knew you were a prick

but man, you really are a prick.

Why do you want Mr. Woo's daughter arrested?

You want Haenal Law Firm, right?

What?

I'll help you

make Haenal Law Firm yours.

Ridiculous.

Prosecutor General Eom was highly regarded by the prosecution

for resisting the influence of powerful people.

But he had one issue.

His son.

Mr. Woo is full of flaws.

Not only does he take bribes from everyone

but he's also used his power in the Legislation and Judiciary Committee

to help big companies get their way.

But as you know, if you bust him for that

the prosecution will be blamed for election meddling.

But you must stop him from becoming the Minister of Justice.

Are you also going to use my son to attack me

if I terminate my contract as the legal advisor?

I know this is a dirty way of going about it.

But I'll make sure you never get hurt.

How can you call yourself a judge and do stuff like this?

You know a judge shouldn't do this.

Please remember

judges exist outside of the court, too.

HANDEUL JUNKYARD

Who made you this stubborn?

- Gosh. - I'm home.

Hey, Han-young.

- Hey. - Hello.

There you are, Your Honor!

What are you doing? Say hello.

He's a judge.

Hello.

Hey.

I'm sorry, Grandma.

I've caused you so much trouble.

My baby!

Do you know me?

Not at all.

Don't talk like that to His Honor! That's rude.

I didn't say anything bad.

I'm leaving.

Where do you think you're going?

It's perfect.

Now that His Honor is here, too

let's ask him to make a righteous judgment.

Your Honor

Yes.

she's in ninth grade this year

but she wants to get a part-time job.

Does that sound acceptable to you?

Students should focus on their studies!

I can't even afford to get her tutors like everyone else

so how can I let her work?

Yeah, you should be focused on studying in ninth grade.

- That's right. - Indeed.

Is it acceptable for a woman in her seventies

to collect scraps to raise her granddaughter, then?

"He who does not work, neither shall he eat." You know it.

You have a great point there.

Who said all that nonsense?

Your Honor, come on. I'm right, aren't I?

No! You're turning me into a bad granddaughter here.

Cut it out!

Your Honor, please do something about my granddaughter.

Your Honor, please stop my grandma!

Okay, you two.

You'll do exactly as I tell you, right?

You'll only work for four hours per day

twice after school and twice over the weekend.

Got it?

And this convenience store owner

knows a tutoring school

which you'll attend on the other three days.

You'll pay for these classes

with the money you earn from working.

That way, you can work, study, and help Grandma.

Perfect, right?

Right?

Fine.

That's still too much. How about two hours a day...

Grandma!

I'm not deaf!

I'm hungry.

You look like you'll eat me if I wait any longer.

Let's go.

Alright, then.

Please be a good boss to her.

Don't worry.

Get home safely.

- Goodnight! - Bye!

I know that girl.

She visits my store every few days

and takes all the expired samgak gimbap and milk.

I've always wanted to give her more but couldn't

because I didn't want to offend her.

But you came to the rescue and helped her

in a way I never could.

- You crying? - I need a drink.

Mr and Mrs. Lee, I'm leaving!

- Sure, good work today. - Okay.

Get home safe!

A poet who died before 30 once said

he'd kept looking for what he'd lost

without knowing what he'd lost and where.

But I know

what I'd lost

in my previous life.

Na-yeong, dinnertime.

You said you were hungry.

Okay.

Grandma, can I have some milk?

But we're having dinner now.

I want it now.

My gosh.

Here you go.

You know how I bring

expired samgak gimbap and milk

- from the convenience store? - Yeah.

The store owner you just met

always slips in a few things that aren't expired.

Really?

See? This isn't expired, either.

Oh, my.

But I play along.

Why?

You should thank him.

I just feel like that's the right thing to do.

You don't need to know why.

Han-young

remember how my mom ran a fish shop at the market when I was a kid?

Go home. You're drunk.

Hey, hey!

I'm not drunk.

You always talk about the fish shop when you're drunk.

I just feel bad.

I feel like I owe Mom an apology.

She was just a young lady, too.

She couldn't have enjoyed handling fish all day.

But I always threw the money she gave me

saying her money reeked of that fishy smell.

What a little brat.

I don't deserve to be called her son.

Han-young

if I could turn back time

I'd go back to then and handle all the fish myself.

I'd tell Mom

to wear all the makeup she wants

and only work as a cashier.

You got her makeup for her birthday, remember?

You know

that was because all the other moms smelled good.

That was why.

I wanted her to stop smelling like fish.

Hey

but the kids were so kind not to tease me, huh?

No, they just didn't want to get their asses kicked.

They covered their noses and teased you when you weren't around.

I know!

But you didn't.

Because

I liked fish.

Han-young

I'm so glad

that such a good man has become a judge.

I'm so glad.

What a relief.

It sure is.

What a relief...

No, Jeong-ho.

I was a terrible judge.

The 25-year-old lady with leukemia waited

for the law to save her from her workplace injury.

However, the court ruled her proof to be insufficient

excusing the corporate of responsibilities.

That afternoon

the woman jumped from her hospital building.

The court hereby orders Defendant Lee Bong-seok

to one year and six months of imprisonment.

You know it too, Jeong-ho.

That I'm a total scumbag

who abandoned his father, twice.

EOM JUN-HO

What?

You blackmailed the Prosecutor General using his drug addict son?

I'll help you make Haenal Law Firm yours.

And you know, I don't even smoke cigarettes.

Good girl.

You're the best daughter ever.

Did I just choose the perfect son-in-law

or bring myself future trouble?

You're so strong for being back again.

You're not holding photos of your son today?

His tablet PC ran out of battery.

There's nowhere to charge it because we're outside.

Here.

Wow.

Where was this?

This was when he was in sixth grade.

We were hiking the Jiri Mountain.

PLEASE HELP ME GET MY LOST SON BACK

Sir

I'm here

to help you.

Sorry about yesterday.

I thought you were from the District Office.

No, right?

Oh, not at all.

Stop here.

WE DEMAND AN APOLOGY FROM MAYOR CHU

Why are they always pestering us here?

She doesn't look like one of them.

She looks like a news reporter.

Aren't there more important stories to cover?

It's Chu Yong-jin!

Mayor!

Hey!

Hey, call Haenal.

Here you go, sir.

Okay.

Hello?

Hey

what are you going to do about those pests outside?

I thought Haenal was the best firm in the nation.

Do I need to hire the world's best now?

There's a delay in the settlement with the bereaved families.

Please be patient...

Had it not been for Congressman Kang introducing you to me

I would've sorted this out myself already.

You can keep what I've paid you

but you're off this case!

What the hell was that?

Hey.

Hurry and deal with the guys who died in the sinkhole first.

- Get on it. - Yes, sir.

What the hell did you do to the sewers to cause a sinkhole like that?

Seriously!

Did you file paperwork without doing the actual construction?

You crazy idiot!

Burn all records!

TAEMYEONG

It's too hot for this bullshit.

PROJECT OUTLINE FOR SEWER MAINTENANCE WORK IN NAMMYEON DISTRICT

We demand an apology from Mayor Chu!

- Apologize! - Apologize!

Nammyeon District Office, take accountability!

- Take accountability! - Take accountability!

Mr. Lee, I hear you work in Seoul now.

Are you still "Six and Done," even at your new job?

Do you want to see me after work, then?

Is something wrong?

It's about the sinkhole in Nammyeon District.

Hear me out later.

Oh, sure. See you after work.

What does Ms. Song have to do with the sinkhole case?

The public won't receive it well if you step up to speak.

Don't you already see the public hating on me?

Didn't you see the protesters outside?

It's not easy to reach a settlement.

You should focus on the trial instead.

And what? Let the case drag on in court

without even a settlement?

I'll work on the settlement.

Maybe you can help me

by being my golf buddy?

I did some research after hearing some questionable things about Mayor Chu

and he's a part of the Obok gang.

Nammyeon District's representative is Kang Jeong-tae in the majority party

and Chu helped Kang since his first term in office

eventually being nominated as the District Mayor.

He better not force a settlement using violence.

Any updates?

Judge Lee Han-young is taking the case?

Okay, got it.

Next.

Next.

Next.

Next!

Let's celebrate with a drink.

Next time. Gotta finish this one up.

So, when's the next time?

Why isn't he calling me about that next time?

Of course.

He can't resist me.

Damn it.

What a damn prick.

PRICK

What?

Hey, my Se-hee.

You sound upset. Are you shopping?

You want to fight me?

Judge Lee is taking the Nammyeon District sinkhole case.

Shouldn't your new beau try to impress me, too?

I could become his future sister-in-law.

Who says you'll become his sister-in-law?

Is it so hard

to tell him that Haenal is representing this case?

He's on the case. Why wouldn't he know?

Still, it's different when you tell him.

I'll give you

my D. Mario purse.

It's a limited edition. You can't buy it with money alone.

I don't know.

Let me think about it.

Hey!

My gosh.

You've been real busy

since moving to Seoul, huh?

SENIOR PRESIDING JUDGE KANG SIN-JIN

You seem full of worries.

And who's causing them all?

I told you to stop arguing with your wife. Let her win.

Why keep arguing when you can't even win?

Just go with whatever keeps the peace, okay?

I'm not losing. I'm letting her win.

See you tomorrow, then.

Seriously.

Huh?

What a coincidence.

What brings you here?

You don't think I've come all the way

to see you, right?

Oh!

I don't want you to get the wrong idea.

We said we'd meet next time, anyway.

Yeah, see you next time, then.

When next time?

When's that next time?

Why are you always in such a rush?

Are you busy tonight?

If you are, change your plans.

Have dinner with me instead.

Let's go. It's on me.

Mr. Lee!

Sorry, I got stuck in traffic on the way.

Oh, it's dinnertime.

I'm starving. Can we talk over dinner?

Excuse me, I got here first.

Oh, did you have dinner plans already?

No.

I heard you were taking Nammyeon District's case.

Wow, you're definitely from Haenal.

You're quick.

Haenal Law Firm?

We're defending Nammyeon District Office.

Let's go. We should talk.

Hold on.

Get lost!

Don't you guys have parents?

Hey, this is precious.

Don't forget to pick up every bill.

Damn you!

No, I don't have parents.

And I didn't get married. I didn't want kids like me.

Look at that.

What a handsome kid.

You know, people kill their parents for money.

But you don't need to worry now.

Just think of your son's passing as bad luck

and settle.

How can you call yourself human?

You need to apologize for what you've done!

Of course, I'm human.

I have eyes, nose

and lips.

Wow

your kid was smart, huh?

You know, even with a college degree

kids these days can't find a job.

That's so burdensome for their parents

so it's good that yours died.

Shut up!

Honey!

What a joke.

You're holding the knife wrong.

Can you even stab me?

Go ahead.

Honey!

Stab me.

Go right ahead.

Go ahead!

Stab me!

Get out!

Are you really taking the Nammyeon District trial?

- Yeah. - What?

Why is that such an easy decision for you?

Can't believe I expected better from you!

What's going on?

You two are in bed together.

It's over when a judge joins hands with a law firm.

Yes, hello?

Ms. Song, please help me.

Okay.

I'll be right over.

I thought you were better.

Didn't you come to tell me something?

You two...

Forget it.

Did your sister send you here?

You must be quite interested in Haenal.

Tell Ms. Yu that the talk went well.

Does that mean you're teaming up with us?

Nope.

Come on.

What's your plan, then?

The trial will lead

to Mayor Chu and Assemblyman Kang

to be arrested.

So, tell your sister what I just said

and stay out of this.

Stay out...

What was that? Why is he talking like we're friends?

Whatever.

I did my part and told him.

ATTORNEY YU HA-NA

I told Judge Lee about the case.

Okay.

Ms. Song!

Where are you going?

I'm visiting the house of the parents

who lost their son to the sinkhole.

The District Mayor is now threatening them for a settlement.

How much have you looked into Mayor Chu?

A whole lot.

Up to how corrupt he is, making deals with a bogus construction company.

But that's not all.

Mayor Chu is associated with a gang.

- What? - Be careful.

Mind your own business.

Seriously, be careful.

Whatever.

I remember a reporter getting beaten

when she visited a bereaved family.

Should I have stopped her from going?

JUDGE LEE HAN-YOUNG

Why is he calling? He's on Haenal's side, anyway.

The call cannot be completed. You will be taken...

CALL HISTORY

STONE JEONG-HO

Let's get it started.

Okay, I'm on my way.

Get them to sign the agreement before I arrive.

- Okay? - Yes, sir.

Let's settle on your son's case

and my torn forehead at once.

Hey

you've never been in jail, have you? It's tough in there.

Just hurry...

Who are you?

That's dangerous.

Me? The hand of justice!

Goodnight.

Hello.

Excuse me.

Oh, hello.

Hello.

Is Mr. Heo Dong-gi here?

Oh

he had to go somewhere.

What happened here?

It's nothing.

Stop right there!

Hey! Stop!

Stop!

No!

Goodbye.

I'm the District Mayor of the Nammyeon District!

There seems to be a misunderstanding!

Just spare my life

and I'll become a new man...

Please don't kill me.

Please!

HAN-YOUNG

When someone dies in an accident

someone must take accountability and apologize.

My son isn't dirt

rolling around on the ground.

Whatever you choose

you won't need to be responsible for anything, Mr. Heo.

Do you see me waving?

Oh, there you are. I'll be right over.

Okay!

I want him to die.

What did you say?

I can't hear you. Louder!

I want him

to die.

Kill him.

Kill him!

I can finally hear you.

No!

Help!

Defendant Chu Yong-jin

the court hereby sentences you to death.

No!

THE JUDGE RETURNS

Still no movement from Prosecutor General Eom.

Prosecutor Kim Jin-a from the Central District Office.

She won't hesitate.

Judge Lee requested the prosecution to investigate.

We've met before.

This isn't a coincidence, is it?

It's Prosecutor Park Cheol-woo

who helped catch a serial killer with Judge Lee.

Contact Kang Jeong-tae to cut off all ties with Chu Yong-jin.

And erase all traces.

What are you going to do with Judge Lee Han-young?

You've lived in a redevelopment zone, right?

There could have been an accident.

Kang Sin-jin knows about what happened.
