ALL FIGURES, INCIDENTS, LOCATIONS,

ORGANIZATIONS, AND OTHERS ARE FICTITIOUS

CHILD ACTORS AND ANIMALS WERE FILMED SAFELY

IN ACCORDANCE WITH GUIDELINES.

What in the world do you think you've been up to?

Why keep doing something unnecessary?

An attorney proved her client's innocence.

What's the problem?

All the animals that escaped the lab because of you

were their research subjects.

They even claimed damages against us.

I did it to catch the murderer.

You're not a prosecutor.

What's with you lately?

First, you hand over evidence against us to the police

and then, you sue an artist of our partnered client.

Why do you keep blowing things out of proportion?

I couldn't turn a blind eye to those who obviously committed crimes.

There's a limit to my patience as a partner attorney.

Am I even a partner attorney to you?

What?

If you took me for a partner attorney,

you'd hear my side of the story first instead of accusing me.

Your side of the story? I can already tell you're messing things up everywhere.

I'm a managing partner of Taebaek.

It's my job to discipline attorneys who can't get their act together.

Exactly.

You're only doing your job,

so why do I sense personal feelings?

When did I do that?

This time again,

you'll be given the kind of punishment you deserve. End of discussion.

No.

I quit.

I'll compensate you for the damages in a week.

Are you saying you'll leave Taebaek?

Who says you can?

Me.

You're the one who wanted to join Taebaek.

That's right.

But without the Chairman,

Taebaek isn't Taebaek anymore.

I give her an inch, and she tries to take a mile.

TAEBAEK LAW FIRM

PARTNER LAWYER HAN NA-HYUN

Welcome.

I'm sorry for entering without permission.

Don't be. I know you've come a long way.

A long way?

No one can see you, and you don't remember a thing.

It must've been so lonely to be invisible.

I'm not quite following--

I understand how flustered you are.

Let me explain it one after another.

-Have a seat. -What…

I-rang, what's up?

-Hi, Bong-su. -Hi.

-Hello. -Hello.

What the?

You can see him too?

Yes.

Liar.

I know you can't.

-Ouch! What… -Goodness.

-W-Who are you? -Why did you hit me?

I'm the new security here!

I'm sorry!

A-Are you okay? Sorry about this.

What are you doing? Carrying fire in one hand and water in the other?

I-I mistook you for a ghost. I'm truly sorry.

Does my face look like a ghost?

What in the world… I've had enough!

Wait…

I-rang, why did you have to do that?

I don't see any.

S-See what?

I don't hear any, Bong-su.

I'm finally free from them!

Yes!

Hooray!

Hooray for I-rang's independence!

Hooray!

Ghosts aren't coming?

He says it's been more than two weeks now.

Maybe it was a temporary thing.

You must be happy, Mother.

You didn't show it, but you were quite concerned.

Right.

I sure am glad to hear the news.

What did I-rang say?

He's cleaning for his future living clients.

He's so excited.

What are you doing? Do you want to play hide-and-seek?

Oh, my. That must be painful.

Come on, mister.

That's so distracting.

Will you stop already?

What the heck!

This can't be.

What is going on?

No.

There's no way I'm missing the ghosts.

No.

Hey, Shin I-rang.

Pull yourself together.

You've finally been set free.

After how you left that day,

I felt a little sorry.

Attorneys don't always win their cases.

And mistakes are bound to be made.

I was too harsh on you.

Please don't bother.

I compensated the lab for the damages.

You've heard, right?

You didn't have to. I only said that to tell you off.

Here.

What is this?

Traineeship overseas.

It may be called training,

but you can take a break to travel and clear your head.

In New York.

Afterwards, return to Taebaek.

No, thank you.

Is it because I hurt your pride the other day?

That's why I came all the way here.

Let it go now.

-I'm not going back. -Okay, fine.

It wouldn't be you if you didn't refuse three times.

I'll ask you three more times.

-Come back. -I won't.

-Come back. -I won't.

-Come back. -No, no, no, I won't!

I'm not going back.

Okay?

Take this with you while you're at it.

Let's see how long you can last.

Hello, Mr. Choi.

Stop Han Na-hyun from joining any law firm.

Call all the law firms out there.

If you have nowhere else to go,

you'll come back to me.

KIM AND JEONG LAW FIRM, HWASEOL LAW FIRM,

BHN LAW FIRM, YSP LAW FIRM, SP LAW FIRM

You used to work at Taebaek.

Taebaek certainly is one of the top performing law firms.

However, I believe my convictions align with your founding philosophy

of prioritizing basic ethics and values and upholding social responsibility

rather than performance and profit, which is why I've decided to apply.

…WE ARE INADEQUATE TO EMBODY YOUR NOBLE ASPIRATIONS

They turned me down?

…WE ARE UNABLE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH YOU THIS TIME

What?

…YOUR VISION DOES NOT ALIGN WITH OUR CURRENT DIRECTION

Again?

Attorney Han Na-hyun, please come in.

LATERAL HIRING ATTORNEY INTERVIEWS

INTERVIEW ROOM

Please have a seat.

Care to ask a question?

I don't have any questions for Mr. Shin.

What do you think you're doing?

JOB APPLICATION NAME: HAN NA-HYUN

That's my question to ask.

What…

I'm turning you down.

I'm turning you down because you're way below my level.

-I-rang. -Yes?

Here's your utility bill.

Oh, thanks.

It's a lot.

Are you going somewhere fancy, Bong-su?

I'm starting a new gig today.

Really?

What's your role this time?

I told you about it before.

It's a paralegal.

Do you have many lines this time?

Goodness, how can you be this positive?

Aren't you worried at all? Not even a rat walks into this office.

I am.

That's why I cleaned the whole place.

What's the use of cleaning?

It's in a remote area, and it was a shaman's house for decades.

How will you possibly have clients come here?

Not unless you advertise yourself.

Advertise?

Doesn't it cost a lot of money?

What are your business cards for?

There are clients everywhere at the courthouse.

It'd be really worthwhile to visit those going through a hard time.

You think?

It's my line in the show.

It might actually work for you because you have an agreeable face.

Good luck! See you.

Well, he has a point.

Advertise…

ATTORNEY HAN NA-HYUN

SHIN I-RANG LAW OFFICE

Worthwhile, my butt.

It must be hard on you.

But you should stay strong at a time like this.

I'm here to help you--

Not again.

Excuse me?

You're all talk when you won't even take responsibility.

"We need more materials. Bring me crucial evidence."

You shameless people make excuses only to raise the legal fees.

-No, I-- -Now,

I hate you people more than that jerk who cheated on me.

I even shudder in my sleep at the thought of lawyers!

Why's she taking it out on me? I didn't do anything.

Nothing's easy.

Dad!

Hi.

Don't waste your energy on meaningless thoughts, I-rang.

Mr. Bae?

I-rang? Long time no see.

Did you have a trial?

You seem busy.

I'm so tired. I have way too much work.

I'm dying to rest.

What's that?

SHIN I-RANG LAW OFFICE

I have no work, so I'm out to advertise myself.

Don't feel embarrassed. That's how it is for solo attorneys.

Want a case?

What?

I'm supposed to take it on, but I already have my hands full.

What is it about?

I'm a little busy right now.

Hear it from the client in person.

I'll tell them about you.

SEONGMYEONG CONSTRUCTION YOON HYEON-SEOK

You're the best. Thanks.

Don't mention it. I can do this much for you.

I better get going. Bye.

Okay. I'll repay you for this!

Treat me to a drink some time.

Hello. If you need an attorney…

Please give me a call.

MY FAMILY WON'T RETURN, BUT JUSTICE MUST PREVAIL

You're doing well.

Are you sure?

Make sure you eat well.

I'll wait for your call.

Thank you.

Cheer up.

Thank you.

Attorney Han Na-hyun?

No, you got the wrong person.

I know it's you.

Fair skin and a small face. It is you, Attorney Han Na-hyun.

No, I'm not.

What? Yes, you are.

Why is he following me?

Attorney Han, why are you here?

Why are you wearing sunglasses? What's with those business cards?

Did you get fired?

It's not your business.

Come on. Don't be so cold.

We had such amazing teamwork when we caught Gu Hyo-jung.

Don't even mention his name. It pisses me off.

-This is so embarrassing. -Attorney Han, are you okay? Are you hurt?

Can't you just pretend not to know me?

How can I possibly turn a blind eye when you just tripped over?

Anyway, did you really get fired?

Both Su-jeong and Mr. Kim Tae-jun were found not guilty.

Wasn't that a good thing for Taebaek?

This is all because of you.

Because of you, my cases were a mess.

Because of you, a win didn't feel like a win,

and I even ended up resigning, but now, I'm going nuts with so much to pay for.

So don't talk to me ever again, got it?

If you follow me again, I'll call the police.

Wait.

You can call the police or even sue me, so hold on.

Sit here for a sec.

Let go.

Let me. Geez.

It snapped off completely.

There's a skilled cobbler's shop nearby.

I'll get it repaired soon.

No, just give it to me.

You can't walk in this.

It'll take only ten minutes. Wait here a little.

Okay?

What are they doing?

Excuse me.

Hello.

Who are you?

Didn't you talk to a woman in front of the courthouse just now?

A tall woman with sunglasses on.

Oh, yes. I did.

Your conversation ended in the middle because of me.

If you're looking to hire an attorney,

you should really give that woman a chance with your case.

She's such a competent attorney, you see.

I didn't know she was an attorney.

Excuse me?

She said she had done a solo protest at the same spot

about a wrongful car accident during her second year in high school.

She also said I needed to be in good shape to keep fighting,

and so I should eat well.

I've never heard such a thing from a complete stranger before.

It was so warm.

Her 2nd year in high school was 13 years ago.

That's 2012.

YEAR 2012, CAR ACCIDENT, SOLO PROTEST

DUI FATALITY CASE'S VICTIM CONTINUES A SOLO PROTEST

CAN A LIFE BE REPLACED AT THE COST OF TWO YEARS IN PRISON?

VICTIM'S YOUNGER SISTER…

IRRESPONSIBLE DRUNK DRIVING,

"IS THE LAW REALLY ON THE VICTIM'S SIDE?"

I get it now.

I get that you love money, but you shouldn't make use of others.

Those people are already having it hard…

even if not for the likes of you.

Now what?

DAD

DAD

Hello?

Hi, Na-hyun.

You're busy, right? Let me make it quick.

Your birthday is coming next week,

so your mom wants to make you a homemade birthday meal.

Can you come over?

That'd be too much of a hassle.

Let's just dine outside.

Oh, should we?

S-Sure, why not?

Let's dine out and celebrate the happy day.

How about Japanese food? It's your favorite. I'll book a table.

Okay.

Thanks, Dad.

No problem. Bye.

Hello?

Is this Attorney Han Na-hyun?

Word says you're an outstanding attorney.

Will you be able to help me?

Yes, of course.

Please text me your address. I'll visit you right away.

All right.

I gave you a special cut.

Thank you as always.

No news about ghosts yet?

No.

Are you disappointed?

Excuse me?

I've read the faces of followers for over 20 years.

I can easily tell if one is happy, sad, relieved, or disappointed.

You're as sharp as a needle.

Is I-rang aware?

Of what?

That you visited the shaman at Unit 501 of the Okcheon Building.

He doesn't know and it must stay that way.

-Take responsibility! -Take responsibility!

Take responsibility!

Punish the scammers!

-Punish them! -Punish them!

-Where did our money go? -Compensate the victims!

-Compensate! -Compensate!

Make amends!

-Make amends! -Make amends!

Take responsibility and make amends!

Take responsibility!

-Take responsibility! -Take responsibility!

I'm just as troubled, you know.

Everyone can be happy if we just build the apartment.

But the landowner is insisting on not selling the land.

There's really nothing I can do.

Didn't you advertise as if the land had already been purchased?

No, not at all.

Oh, you'll know if you take a look at the contract.

TERMINATION OF THE CONTRACT

The terms here are difficult.

The sentences are complex too.

It's incomprehensible even for me.

That's what a contract is for.

You just have to prove my innocence with this ambiguous contract.

Can you do it?

Hi, Mr. Bae.

I-rang, where are you right now?

Me? I'm at my sister's restaurant. Why do you ask?

Thank goodness.

You haven't visited Seongmyeong Construction yet, right?

Do not go whatsoever.

What?

I'm sorry, I-rang.

The client I set you up with turns out to involve a construction gang.

What? A construction gang?

Hello, I'm calling because Attorney Bae Il-do referred me--

He already gave you a call.

I'm calling

to recommend you an outstanding attorney I know.

Shoot.

Mr. Bae, text me the address.

What?

Text me the address now!

Attorney Han went office-hunting

and handed out her business cards at the courthouse.

It seems she'll open her own practice.

And this morning, she took on her first case.

Her client is Seongmyeong Construction,

a shady company that runs a pre-sale fraud scheme.

ATTORNEY HAN'S POTENTIAL CASE

After all that big talk, this is the case she takes on?

Good going.

It seems dangerous. What should we do?

Nothing.

I'll take this chance to watch her high ego snap.

It's going to be fun.

Wait.

Just keep tabs on her in secret.

Yes, sir.

What's taking you so long to answer?

I can't do it.

What? You can't?

You must be mistaken.

I'm saying I can't do it with this much info.

What does that mean?

You're so lucky, sir.

I'm very experienced in pre-construction sales cases.

Especially, this kind of scam…

I mean, business is my expertise because I'm so used to it.

So?

The essential condition of winning a case is information.

The more information you have, the more backup plans you can have.

For example, a fabricated document of the land purchase.

Or an agreement you got through blackmailing allottees.

I need all kinds of materials.

There's no such thing. We do everything by the law.

Sir, you shouldn't underestimate the prosecution.

One search and seizure is enough to find everything like dominoes.

Once they start tearing you apart, you're finished.

Your attorney has to fight the prosecution for you.

Of course, I need to know everything.

If you get raided, it'll all go down the drain, I tell you.

You'll be sentenced to at least five years in jail. Too bad.

Good thinking.

Where's the bathroom?

It's at the end of the hallway outside.

Oh!

A glass of iced Americano, please.

I'm a bit thirsty.

The hell are you saying?

What are you waiting for?

She wants an iced Americano.

Prosecutor Kim?

Hi, Na-hyun. Are you sick? What happened to your voice?

I'm well, and I have a favor to ask.

Do you know Seongmyeong Construction? It's under investigation lately.

Yes, it's a vicious pre-sale scammer.

We don't have enough evidence to indict them.

I'll get you that evidence.

Come straight to the address I text you.

Send the nearby police first since there's no time, okay?

SEONGMYEONG CONSTRUCTION

Apologies. I drank a lot yesterday.

This should be enough

to make you rot for at least ten years.

-Rot? -In prison, of course.

What?

You preyed on people's lifelong dreams of owning a home.

That deserves punishment.

But sir, you're really lucky

because I'm going to give you a chance.

Turn yourself in and give the money back to the victims.

Are you out of your mind?

You've got some nerve, don't you?

Why don't I mince you to pieces?

What's that noise?

Oh, dear.

The police are already here.

You should've reflected on yourself sooner.

You crazy bitch.

Attorney Han!

You little punks!

How did you know I was here?

Are you okay?

What about the police? Where are they?

T-The police? What police?

What's with you people?

How fast can you run 100 m?

Fifteen seconds.

Run.

Hurry!

Get them!

Stop right there!

You bastard, stop!

Where did they go? Boys!

Go this way! And you guys, go that way!

I'm sorry.

Don't talk to me. I'm out of breath.

I didn't know they were dangerous people.

You gave him my number?

You got fired because of me. I had to do something.

Why did you come alone, though? You should've come with the police.

You're right.

I rushed here in case you got hurt.

Are you hurt at all?

Are you worried about me?

Of course.

There they are! Over there!

Hurry up! They're over there.

Run! Hurry up.

-Hey! -Stop right there!

Damn it, boys!

-Get in there! -Open up!

-You bastard! -Unlock this door now!

-This is not good at all. -Hey!

Give me back the documents, and I'll let you go peacefully.

-Open the doors! -Documents?

What are those?

Evidence to put them in jail.

You mean, evidence to get us killed?

We're not going to die.

We'll turn this crisis into an opportunity.

What makes you that confident?

What now?

-I have a good idea. -What?

Don't you come close, or I'll scatter these to the victims.

-Wait. -No.

What? Are you scared?

Are you scared? Are you?

Is that it?

-Damn. -She startled us all.

I knew something was off.

Attorney Shin.

What now?

You're good at fighting, right?

What?

Kill them.

-Geez. -Hey, come over here.

Come here.

Bring it on!

Hey.

Let go of her!

Move! Out of the way.

Attorney Shin!

Freeze and get down!

-Arrest them. -Yes, sir.

Get down.

-Hands above your heads. -Stand up now.

-Stand up. -I hear you, okay?

You too. Stand up. Come along.

Walk faster. Move.

Attorney Shin.

Are you okay?

Pull yourself together.

I'm… okay.

You're not okay.

You shouldn't have come here alone!

Are you hurt?

TAEBAEK

So what happened?

Even the prosecution swooped in.

All the related scammers were arrested.

Not that, I'm talking about Han Na-hyun.

Is Attorney Han okay?

She almost got hurt,

but Shin I-rang rescued her.

Shin I-rang? What did he do?

Well…

The gang surrounded Attorney Han and things were about to get physical

when Shin I-rang threw himself--

That's enough.

You're dismissed.

That guy isn't particularly a strong fighter,

but he tried his best to protect Attorney Han…

Go back to work, I said.

Yes, sir.

OKCHEON BUILDING

SHIN I-RANG LAW OFFICE

Attorney Han?

What are you doing here?

I went to your office and you weren't there.

Apparently, everyone in the neighborhood knows you.

I've lived here for a long time.

I see.

So what brings you here?

I forgot that I had plans.

Plans?

I'm supposed to meet Je-hun at the playground. He's from Class Flower Petal.

Out of the blue?

Good luck!

What?

Da-bong!

Is it okay to drink? You have an injured arm.

I'll just have sips.

Shouldn't you go home early? Your daughter must be waiting.

My daughter?

Oh, you mean Da-bong?

She's my niece.

My dear beloved niece.

Doesn't she look a lot like me?

As if.

She looked cute, keen, and smart.

You think?

I saw you hand out your business cards. Didn't you get any clients?

No. Not even one.

Work for other clients, then.

Those special clients…

who are visible only to you.

I don't have such clients.

How unusual.

You said you could see ghosts like it was a bad habit.

I can't

see them anymore.

I see.

Anyway, why did you come to see me?

To apologize.

Apologize?

Oh.

I'm the one who sent you there.

I owe you an apology.

Not for your injury.

I had job interviews after resigning from Taebaek.

I saw a red X mark on my name.

When I saw it, it really offended me.

It sure was shitty

going through it myself.

Let me apologize.

I'm truly sorry. I mean it.

That's okay. It's all in the past now.

No.

You should never have been mistreated like that.

You're not at fault.

I'm sorry.

I wasn't meaning to talk about your father.

It's partly my fault.

I knew my dad was a corrupt prosecutor,

but I insisted on becoming an attorney.

Don't say that.

It's all right. That's the truth.

I actually did wonder

why you chose the same kind of job as your father's

instead of an ordinary job.

Perhaps,

I believed in my dad

all along.

Dad!

I-rang.

Did you wait long?

Did the trial take long?

It took me quite some time to bring those who harassed good people to justice.

I want to be like you when I grow up.

Will you?

Sure thing.

-You'll get to work in there later. -Or maybe

I wanted to believe in him.

I knew I shouldn't have taken this path

but I couldn't give up…

like a fool.

I'm not sure how you'll take this…

but I understand you.

It was actually

my older sister's dream to be an attorney.

It's going to be real fun. I'm telling you!

We gotta hurry there.

Okay, we're already on our way.

The light turned green.

-Slow down. -What are you waiting for? Come on.

Na-hyun!

So-hyun.

So-hyun!

No… So-hyun!

So-hyun!

I MUST WIN EVERY TIME!

HAN SO-HYUN LAW AND POLITICS

After my sister died in an accident,

I decided to become an attorney.

She died because of me.

I shouldn't be chasing a dream of my own.

So since then, I've been living the life of my sister.

That must be why

you didn't know when to stop.

Did I not?

I can't be so sure,

but your sister

was probably proud of you.

You're always diligent

and precise.

And you're so…

down to earth.

Not really.

But thanks.

I kind of get the reasons behind how you've behaved too.

You…

wanted to be like your dad, who was your childhood hero, didn't you?

I think you're on the right track.

I must say,

you also have a great way of interpreting things.

Anyway, thanks.

Careful.

Be careful.

The guy from the chauffeur service will be here soon, so wait a bit.

-Did you call for a driver? -Yes.

Right here, sir.

-Could I play some music? -Sure.

I shouldn't be chasing a dream of my own.

Attorney Han, we're here.

Let me.

Wait.

Attorney Han, we're at your house now.

Your shoes. Take off your shoes.

Careful.

Attorney Han, wake up.

Attorney Han.

If you wake up in the middle of the night, make sure you go to your room.

And…

I'm truly sorry

that my ghost-seeing ability…

put you through so much.

I'll go now.

It's a shame…

you can't see…

I wish I could see…

my sister.

SO-HYUN AND NA-HYUN ON JUNE 8, 1999

HAN SO-HYUN'S 19TH BIRTHDAY ON JULY 7, 2012

I-rang, what are you doing here instead of sleeping?

Nothing. I'm just sitting here.

You aren't just sitting here.

Something's going on.

What's troubling you? You were excited about not seeing ghosts.

Bong-su.

The truth is,

I know how to see ghosts.

-What? -But…

I was trying to not see them.

I know helping ghosts is a good deed,

but I couldn't ignore my family's concerns.

And it was nice to be back

to my ordinary everyday life.

I also thought it was right

to let bygones be bygones.

But then,

I realized something.

It's a shame…

you can't see…

I failed to understand

the desperate longing

to see a beloved one

one last time.

To them,

it's never over for them.

It can never be bygones for them.

I love you.

I love you, Dad.

But I simply thought it was all over

and it was meant to be let go.

I thought you were finally starting to breathe again,

but I see you've got

a lot on your mind.

So,

what do you want to do?

If this is my destiny,

I will…

accept that destiny.

Thank you, sir.

-Have a good night. -Bye.

Hi, honey.

Honey, did you have dinner?

What time are you coming home today?

I'm just about to head home now.

I feel a little down today.

Why? Did something happen?

Do you remember

when we went to Seocho-dong after what happened to So-hyun?

Of course, I remember.

There's no way I can forget it.

I'm in front of that building right now.

The shaman's house is gone.

It's a law office now.

They really came.

Excuse me. Are you…

HAN SO-HYUN'S 19TH BIRTHDAY ON JULY 7, 2012

That's enough!

If you're drunk, keep on walking.

How could you use violence against students?

Three boys were ganging up on one kid.

That bastard who beat you up got an attorney.

It'll take no time for her to find out what you've done.

-Stop. -I'm going to kill him.

He's a diligent kid that will be happy if he can just get over this hump.

-I'm going to do something about it. -I'll kill you for real.

Why would I die?

It's your turn to die.

Jun-ho!
