Soo Ha.

Soo Ha. Park Soo Ha.

You idiot! Where have you been all this time?

At least you should call! Why didn't you call!? I was so worried!

Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?

Why did they handcuff you?

Is my name Park Soo Ha?

Everyone here calls me that.

Do you

know me?

I can't. He confessed that he killed him with his own hands.

How can I let a criminal go?

He said that he might have killed, not that he actually killed him.

Look, he's a kid who doesn't remember his own name. How could he know if he killed or not?

Sadly, I don't remember that person.

Despite her trying so hard on my behalf,

that voice,

and those shining eyes, I don't remember any of it.

He might be pretending to have lost his memory.

We'll do this according to the law.

We'll file for an arrest warrant, and when it is issued,

he will be detained unconditionally.

Why do you assume that Park Soo Ha committed murder?

From the gist of their conversation

I might've killed someone a year ago.

With the confession and this much evidence, it's enough to be seen as murder.

A week before the incident, he is the person who took a knife to kill Min Joon Gook.

Since he failed in that attempt, he tried again.

I don't want to remember.

I don't want to know

that I was such a terrible person.

That kid, Park Soo Ha, is a top student.

Because he was ranked #1 in all of his grades, he could have been chosen to go to college.

Also, in order to save his friend, he's a person who fought like it was his own problem.

He's someone who protected people even when he risked getting hurt himself!

But on the other hand, I'm also curious.

A person who's a top student can still kill people.

Even a nice person can kill people on the spur of the moment.

A promise...!

He made a promise with me.

That he would never kill anyone.

Him? He's really good at keeping promises.

He's a kid who kept a promise from 10 years ago.

I wonder, what kind of person was I

that someone would so eagerly be my advocate?

Episode 10What's the purpose of searching everywhere for a painful memory?

Where were you all this time?

You can hear my thoughts now, right? Answer me.

You can't hear it? What my thoughts are right now?

Thoughts? What thoughts?

Your ability even disappeared?

What ability?

It's alright. This is better.

Now your world must be quieter.

Never mind, you don't need to know.

How old am I?

20.

I'm younger than I thought.

Yes. You look older than your age.

It's awkward using honorifics.

Did I use casual speech with you?

Ever since we met, you've never once used honorifics towards me.

I must've been a person with no manners.

I could've been a really bad person.

You have a scar on your shoulder, right?

Yes.

You got that from protecting me.

Why would I do that?

What do you mean why? It's because you're a good person.

Would you have done that if you were a bad person?

So, don't ever say that you think you may be a bad person or that you may have killed someone,

especially in front of the detectives.

Because later it'll become a testimony against you. Do you understand?

Stay strong starting from now.

Starting from now, you're going to encounter many awful things.

You only have those clothes, right?

Yes.

Your clothes are too dirty.

I'll bring you new clothes. So, when you go to the on-the-scene investigation, dress neatly. Do you understand?

- An on-the-scene investigation? - Yeah.

When you're there, don't say anything rash and just do what I tell you to do.

Dismembered left hand found at fishery. Body seems to have been mutilated following the murder.

Murder suspect of the 'left hand' case arrested. Took shelter for a year in farming village.

Hey, how many warrant screening cases are there today?

Three.

Man... a lot.

What about Lawyer Jang?

I don't know. She's probably just fooling around somewhere.

These days, she even does her consultations by phone. It's nuts!

I don't know if she wants to be a lawyer or not.

I'll be back.

Go safely.

What is it?

Lawyer Shin, you like this, right? Iced tea.

What's the problem?

You never talk to me.

You're going for screening of the arrest warrants now, right?

Yes. Since it's my turn.

I would like to go instead.

Why?

Is there someone that you know amongst the defendants?

Yes.

Park Soo Ha is there.

I will be able to be his lawyer only if I go there.

I don't know.

Looking at how you've been working, Soo Ha having you as his lawyer might be poisonous.

I think he'd be better off with me.

No other lawyer

knows Soo Ha better than I.

Also, they won't believe him as much as I do.

So . . .

I request this of you. Please, leave this to me.

Thank you!

Huh?

What are you doing?

Lawyer Jang.

A public defender was requested. I'm Park Soo Ha's public defender.

So, I'm also going to the inspection of the scene.

Wait...

Why would a lawyer go to the inspection of the scene?

Why won't a lawyer go to the crime scene?!

She's really tough. Are all other public defenders like her these days?

Whatever, she's really strong.

Are there going to be a lot of reporters?

There probably will be since it's all over the news.

Here, put this on.

If you don't remember, tell them that you don't remember.

Instead of guessing and going along with it.

Stay strong.

Right now, the defendant has no memory of the past whatsoever.

Please refrain from asking any prejudicial questions.

If you conduct the investigation coercively, even if it's just a little bit,

I will challenge all of it in court and get a verdict of not guilty.

Let's do it moderately.

Moderately.

Please move! - They say he's a murderer.

- Moreover, a dismemberment murderer! - He seems young.

Wait, I'm the lawyer.

- Please move! You're causing a disturbance! - Lawyer Jang.

Don't worry, I'm right here.

An investigation has been verified at the crime scene of the 'left hand' murder case

which was the result of 10 years of animosity.

The investigation has started at the fishery where the dismembered left hand was found one year ago.

What will happen to Soo Ha?

What should Soo Ha do?

During the investigation, which took about 40 minutes,

the police focused on asking the defendant, Mr.Park, about the method of murder,

as well as the location of the remainder of the body.

You think you grabbed the knife like this, and stabbed.. like this, right?

You can't ask him that since he has no memory. You are assuming everything!

However, the defendant, who admitted to the charges during interrogation,

claims that he has no memory of the case which happened a year ago.

Soo Ha, don't respond, don't respond.

Where's the remote. Turn on something else instead of the news.

Just a moment!

Leave it alone, please.

The police will wrap up investigation within the week, and

are planning to forward the case to the prosecution.

Answer!

Don't take off the mask, please. He's still in the position of an accused.

What's up with Lawyer Jang?

Normally, she doesn't appear in places like this!

Although she protected the victim's face, she broadcast her face to the entire nation.

Before taking care of someone else's privacy,

she should have taken care of her own privacy.

Rotten bastard!

- You rotten bastard! - Cover his face!!

Did you really plan a crime?

Cover your face!

With this,

"Victim"here

don't you think you stabbed the victim like this?

How many times did you stabbed? Where did you hide the body? Don't you remember?

They say he's a murderer. A butcher murderer at that.

You have a scar on your shoulder, don't you?

You got that while you were protecting me.

What kind of person am I?

Are you perhaps Prosecutor Seo, aren't you?

Yes,

Which floor?

The fifth floor.

Oh? Our office too is on the fifth floor.

Ah, perhaps, are you going to our office?

Lawyer Jang is there now, isn't she?

What is this?

This is a duplicate of the USIM chip of Park Soo Ha's cell phone.

This is a record of his phone calls.And these, pictures of the crime scene.

Refer to them when you defend him.

Suddenly. . . Why are you being like this?

You're the prosecutor for this case.

Think of it as a coupon that I'm giving you.

Coupon?

A year ago, the Min Joon Gook trial -

for a prosecutor - was a trial that should have never allowed him to be found not guilty.

So, I feel I didn't fulfill my duty to you, the victim.

Quite strongly.

So, you're saying you'll repay your debt this way.

I too think that person, Min Joon Gook, deserved to die.

So, I'm thinking of demanding ten years for Park Soo Ha.

For murdering by mutilation and concealing the corpse,

10 years is nothing, so that I might get a penalty from the Disciplinary committee.

You know, right?

Park Soo Ha is not a murderer.

I came because I thought you'd be like this.

Look. To insist that he's innocent, there's just too much evidence otherwise.

Acknowledge that he's guilty.

Then I'll be able to get him just 10 years, considering his motive of murder.

If you defend him well,

and Park Soo Ha serves his sentence with good behavior,

he'll be released before he turns 30.

It's not a bad age to start all over again.

What if I keep insisting that he's innocent?

If you plead not guilty, it's hard for me to go easy on him, on the grounds that he was under distress from the victim.

If the verdict comes out as guilty, he may end up getting 20 years in jail at least.

I know why you are like this. But, this is too reckless.

This is poison to Park Soo Ha, too.

I understand his position very well.

I want to help him as much as I can.

You also know that I'm being sincere, right?

Yeah.

However, murdering a demon can't pass as innocence. So, then

Thanks. I understand what you're saying.

I'll consider it carefully.

What, what, what?!

You really look pathetic.

Lawyer Cha.

Wait a minute. Let's rest a little.

You don't look like it, but, your stamina is weak.

We've only been hiking for 30 minutes.

If you were going to be like this, why did you ask me to come hiking?

I needed to tell you something.

What were you going to talk about?

Prosecutor Seo...

Pleads guilty... 10 years...

No... 20 years...

Prosecutor Seo suggested a deal?

If he admits that he's guilty, 10 years.But, if he doesn't, it's 20 years?

Too much evidence...

So it's hard...hard...

I know, it seems really hard.

There's too much evidence.So, it'll be hard to say he's innocent.

Lawyer Jang's head... Bam!...

It must be. Lawyer Jang must be having a hard time, as if her head was going to explode.

Perhaps, can you give me a copy of Park Soo Ha's records?

Oh my! Did you bring this all the way here?!

What?

Was your plan to involve me?

Yes.

10 years and 20 years.

Seo Do Yeon, you bad girl.

Leading me into temptation to the very end.

It hurts.

Lawyer Shin!

I almost lost a baby! (a common Korean expression when a person is too startled.)

Do you even have a baby to lose?

No.

What is this?

It's Hwang Dal Joong's case records.

The case that I handled 26 years ago.

Hwang Dal Joong?

Why should I look over this person's record?

I don't want to.

This case is very similar to Park Soo Ha's case.

Just like Park Soo Ha, Hwang Dal Choong

also didn't remember the crime.

He drank too much alcohol.

There was too much evidence to say he was innocent.

There were also fingerprints on the knife.

And a part of his wife's body was also found.

Moreover, the day before, they had quarreled seriously.

When I didn't know what to do, the prosecutor came to see me.

A prosecutor?

Just as with Prosecutor Seo Do Yeon, he offered me a deal.

If we agree to a guilty plea, he'll get 15 years in jail.

for negligent homicide that started with his wife's affair.

And, the prosecution would agree that the defendant was in a weak state of mind.

Did you accept it?

No.

I pled not guilty

The confession was obtained through coercive tactics during interrogation

even though the Defendant could not recall anything.

The evidence also

doesn't prove that he personally killed the victim, but,

is merely circumstantial.

That he didn't kill his wife and,

that the culprit was someone else, the wife's other man.

was how I pleaded on his behalf,

I lost the case.

The other man had an alibi, you see.

So, until now, Hwang Dal Joong

has been in jail for 26 years.

I don't know how much longer he has to spend in jail.

If he had just accepted what the prosecutor offered then,

he would already have been out of jail a long time ago.

This case is a record of my humiliating failure.

Regardless of whether you plead him guilty or innocent,

it'll be a lot of studying for you.

Lawyer Shin.

If you could

go back 26 years,

would you admit that he's guilty?

So,

if I admit and ask for leniency, I get less than 10 years. But,

if I don't and continue to say I'm innocent and things don't work out right, I'll get

20 years in jail at least?

- I understood right? - Yeah.

What should I do?

Let's say you're innocent. You're innocent.

Okay.

No, no.

Let's say you're guilty.

It could be guilty. If something goes wrong, you could end up spending your whole life in jail.

Yes, I understand.

Hey, think about it before you answer.

It doesn't matter if I think or not. You know more about me than I do. You make the decision.

I'll take responsibility.

You . . .

What do you think of me?

A public defender.

And you know what that is?

I'm not sure of what it is. But,

I understand the feeling.

Feeling?

When no one sides with me, aren't you someone who sides with me?

What?

Am I wrong?

No.

You're right.

It's right. But, I didn't know.

Lawyer Shin. If you could go back 26 years, would you

admit that he's guilty?

I've asked myself that question over a million timesin the last 26 years.

But, the answer was always the same.

Even if I go back, I'd say he's innocent.

I...

will plead not guilty.

Yes. OK.

Well,

you don't have even a little bit of memory?

Not yet. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

It's alright, take your time to think about it.

If you have anything . . .

If something pops up, you tell me first. Alright?

Okay.

I wonder whether I can do it?

I wonder whether I can save Soo Ha?

Should I have said that I would plead guilty?

It's been a long time, Attorney Jjang.

I saw you on the TV news when they were investigating the crime scene.

You really looked great like Angelina Jolie.

Why are you here?

About Park Soo-Ha's case...

How about we make this into a case of Trial By Jury?

Trial By Jury?

Having a jury trial has a higher chance of an innocent verdict than a trial with judges.

Since they can be more lenient than the judge, I think it'll fit for Soo Ha's case.

Soo Ha is young and it's his first offense, so he can appeal to the members of the jury.

What do you think?

Sounds good.

Why didn't I think of that?

If it's a Jury Trial,

you'll need another lawyer other than yourself, Lawyer Jjang.

Yes.

I want to

be that lawyer.

During the past year, I've lived in hell.

It was like I worked my way through the open seaby only looking at a lighthouse ahead of me,

but suddenly, that lighthouse disappeared. That's how I felt.

I felt as if all the world collapsed for me.

But, as foolish as I am,

I still want to believe in the law.

I want to believe that case wasn't a mistake, but a lesson.

And I want to confirm it with this case.

Alright, let's defend him together.

I don't care how your world works. Or, if you believe the law or not.

To me you are just someone who is skilled in changing guilty into innocent.

Right now, I need someone with that skill.

Desperately.

Thank you for letting me help.

Good luck.

Holding this hand took a year.

Why are you using honorifics?

Speak without formality, we're the same age.

Huh?

Okay.

Are you trying to recover your memory?

Are you taking any medicine?

No.

I took this out of your locker last year.

I'm not sure if it's a diary or a letter, but

look it over. Who knows, maybe this will help you recover your memory.

Are you sure it's mine?

Yeah.

Ahjussi, what should I do with this? It's a diary.

A diary isn't allowed.

Really? But this rascal needs to see this!

If you want, then why don't you read it to him?

What?

It gives me so many goosebumps.

Did you read it?

No, I only read a few pages and stopped.

It gave me too many goosebumps.

Read it. I need to regain my memory no matter what.

Yo man, I can only meet you for ten minutes.

If I have to read all this to you, I'll have to visit everyday.

Can't you do that for me?

What?

I don't want to.

Don't go, please.

Read it from the start?

Yeah.

"If the bad man comes out from jail,

I'll hit him with a fly kick. Believe in me."

Did you hear?

Park Soo Ha's case has applied for Trial by Jury.

I heard it. I don't know why Lawyer Jang has to make things so complicated.

If it's a jury trial, there will be a lot more people watching and more reporters.

Ah, seriously. She's doing all sorts of things.

I'll be leaving first. I have to write up my decision report.

We'll be leaving first.

What's wrong?

Attorney Cha.

Long time no see, Judge Kim.

Yes, it has been. What brings you here?

Last year, you said you felt indebted about assigning me the Min Joon Gook case, right?

Yes, I did. But, why are you suddenly bringing that up?

That debt, repay it now.

What?

Let me be Park Soo Ha's lawyer, along with Lawyer Jang Hye Seong.

Lawyer Cha, didn't you resign last year?

Put me as a lawyer, not as a public defender.

Is that... not possible?

Attorney Cha

- Hello! - You're here?

Yes. I was also assigned to Park Soo Ha's case.

Since I don't have an office, I'm going to borrow one here.

Help Lawyer Jang out. She's suddenly become like a lawyer.

Don't worry. But, where is Lawyer Jjang?

She's in the office. But she's stayed up a few nights, so it's a mess.

Why have you only come now?

Please stop that.

Aigoo, aish!

I should really just...!

Nothing. I'm resisting because you're so pitiful.

What's so pitiful?

Go Seong Bin, wrap up your feelings and come back to your senses.

Park Soo Ha won't fall for you even if you hit-on him for ten thousand times.

Never.

I know, you bastard!

I know that I'm just wasting time. I know damn well!!

Why are you crying because of that?

Ah, Go Seong Bin!

So, one day you woke up in that grandpa's house, right?

And he told you that you were his nephew's son.

Yes.

That's weird. You're a total stranger. So why would he say you were his nephew's son?

Why are you working so hard?

Are all lawyers like this?

If not, am I special to you, Ms. Lawyer?

Yeah.

Very special.

The man that you, supposedly, killed, Min Joon Gook, killed your father and my mother.

But he used the law and escaped punishment. In the end, he made you into a murderer.

If you lose in court, I'm not going to believe in justice, the law or anything else.

I won't be a lawyer anymore either.

I can't see that. No matter what, I will protect you with the law.

So, you're very special to me, right now.

What about you to me, Ms. Lawyer?

Huh?

What kind of person were you to me?

Just an acquaintance.

Is that all?

I didn't like you or find you special... nothing like that?

There's something else you don't know.

If I have to say it, you disliked me.

You disliked me. You said I was a messy and materialistic person.

Lies.

It's not like that, right?

Then why does it seem like a lie?

It's not a lie. It's the truth.

Also, I hope that was the truth.

I came here to prepare for the case,

since it's my first jury trial.

And you, Lawyer Cha?

I came here to rehearse too.

Are you nervous?

No. Not at all.

I am, though.

My every word can determine Soo Ha's life.

I'm scared and nervous.

You can't be nervous.

Don't worry, I'm going to fight with all my strength tomorrow.

No matter how, I am going to get an innocent verdict.

That's the only way that I can repay a little of the debt I owe you two.

Also, if I do get an innocent verdict, I'm going to ask you again.

If you can think about me once more.

- Lawyer Cha, I... - I didn't ask yet.

So don't answer now, but wait...

Until I ask you.

You didn't forget what I requested, right?

Yes. Don't worry, I'm taking off right now.

Before that . . .

Here.

What is this?

I've kept it since last year.

I was wondering when I should give this back to you.

I think now is the perfect time.

Did the lawyer bring you a change of clothes as well?

Yes.

I guess she didn't want the jury to have any preconceived notions, since it's a jury trial.

Wow, the lawyer's devotion is amazing.

Within one day, even sentencing

will be quickly completed.

You must be nervous.

What's wrong? Are you feeling sick?

No,

I'm fine.

Everyone, please stand.

Please be seated.

Defense, Prosecution, are you all here?

Yes.

Yes.

Please let the Defendant enter the courtroom.

More than ever before,

I need your mind-reading eyes.

But why, of all times, did it have to be now that you can't read it?

Will I be able to win this case without your eyes?

Will I be able to protect you?

Are you both handling this jury trial together?

Yes.

I asked him to help me,

since this is my first jury trial.

You're going to handle the opening statement, right?

Yes.

But do I prepare the opening statement similar to a normal trial?

No,

opening statement is really important in a jury trial.

Don't be cocky, and you need to act as if you'll leave everything up for the jury to decide.

You need to approach them humbly.

I'm the public prosecutor for this case,

Prosecutor Seo Do Yeon.

I stand here today to assist you in making a judgement.

In order to help you understand this case,

I've prepared a presentation.

[Trial by Jury]

[Opening Statement]

[Criminal facts subject to judgment about the defendant]

It's so flashy.

Ours is just a normal presentation.

Don't worry.

It just confuses the eyes and doesn't have much effect.

- In 2002, the victim, Min Joon Gook, murdered the father of the defendant, Park Soo Ha.

11 years ago, by the victim, Min Joon Gook, the father of defendant, Park Soo Ha, was murdered.

Even after Min Joon Gook was released from jail, he stalked the defendant and

last year, he even injured the defendant.

The Defendant, bearing a grudge against the victim,

around 23:00 hours on July 22nd, 2012,

met the victim at Big Fish Fishery in Yeon Joo City and killed him. And,

he dismembered the body.

It is believed that he hid the body parts in the river.

The Defendant has already confessed as much to the police.

Here today, in accordance with all the evidence,

I plan to present to the members of the jury the proof of the charges.

The Defendant, in order to hide the crime,

mutilated the corpse brutally,

and without any remorse for his crime,

and to avoid capture, ran away and stayed in hiding on Ganghwa Island.

However, he was finally discovered through a reported sighting.

In accordance with Article 250 and 161 of the Criminal Law,

the Prosecution is charging murder, destruction and mutilation of a corpse,

and concealment of the body.

Defendant, you clearly heard the charges made against you?

What?

Defendant, do you accept the charges?

No.

I don't accept the charges.

Are you saying you are innocent?

Yes.

Okay.

Defense.

Please present your side.

Yes, Your Honor.

It's important when it's your turn to present.

In front of the jury, respect and compliment the Prosecutor.

So, that the jury will

think that you are an objective and rational person.

They will think that there must be a reason if a person like you stands up for the defendant.

You really want me to compliment Do Yeon?

I can never do that.

I'm the Defendant's lawyer, Jang Hye Seong.

First of all, before I start my presentation,

I would like to thank the Prosecutor,

who went to the trouble of investigating to uncover the truth of what this case is really about.

When I, first, saw the facts of the crime, I also

thought that the defendant was, undoubtedly, the culprit.

However, after reviewing it and talking it over with the Defendant,

I found many doubts that could

support the defendant's innocence.

The Defendant's confession was obtained when the Defendant had no memory, and through coercive interrogation.

The evidence also,

isn't direct evidence that the Defendant killed the victim, but only circumstantial evidence.

The defendant also, staying in the countryside, wasn't

there to hide from his crime, but, because

he lost his memory, he simply couldn't return to his house.

Just as how the Prosecutor

will show you her evidence to prove the charges,

we'll also present evidence to refute the prosecution's evidence.

The fact that there is no direct evidence to show the Defendant actually killed the victim

is our grounds for denying the charges.

That's all.

Should I bring out his call history and the record of his statement?

I think it'd be better to leave those out.

That type of evidence will be boring and hard for the jury to comprehend.

Instead, find evidence that will hold the jury's interest.

Ones which will have an impact when seen.

As you can see, the Defendant's resentment towards the victim

is great.

And that resentment only grew when Min Joon Gook evaded the law.

In the end, the Defendant, who couldn't believe in the law anymore, personally pronounced judgement

and killed Min Joon Gook.

In his resentment, the Defendant dismembered the body,

carefully hid it and went into hiding for a year.

However,

upon revelation of this left hand,

the Defendant's perfect crime

was perfect no more.

Bad girl.

You printed that in color, not black and white?

The prosecution places the time of the crime

between 11pm and 3am.

And the knife presented as a murder weapon by the prosecution

has a blade length of about 15cm.

The victim, Min Joon Gook, is a man of over 80kg, by no means, a small man.

Defense Point 1

Experiment on Cutting up Beef

Some time ago, at a butcher's,

I cut up about 80kg of beef ribs with a knife the same length as the murder weapon.

Cutting it up into wrist-sized pieces

took me about 7 hours.

Also, the Defendant

had previously been stabbed in the shoulder by Min Joon Gook

and was in a state of impairment.

Using only one arm, in only four hours, could the Defendant

have killed the victim who weighs more than 80kg

and disposed of his corpse?

This is a really hard fight.

The defendant doesn't have any memory and

the evidence are the fingerprints on the knife, dismembered left hand,

the phone call records and even his foot print. There's too much and they're all strong.

Many pieces of evidence can be interpreted in two ways.

Either Park Soo Ha is really the culprit.

Or, someone framed Park Soo Ha as the culprit.

According to what you (prosecutor) said, the Defendant

is very clever and meticulous to be able to butcher his victim and live in secrecy to hide his crime.

But, right now, given all the evidence that's been left behind,

it's not believable that such a culprit would leave it.

It is, as if,

someone is saying to you,

"That person is the culprit."

Then we, not knowing that there is another culprit . . .

Won't we be falling into their trap?

Also, we must consider the possibility that there is another suspect out there.

If there is sufficient reason to believe that there could be another suspect, then the defendant must be deemed innocent.

Isn't it dangerous to suggest another suspect?

If the prosecution presents an alibi, the case is lost.

I also lost 26 years ago while using that method.

But, isn't it the most useful tactic to move the jury?

Right now, the only thing we can do is to create reasonable doubt.

Even though it's dangerous, I feel that it is worth a shot.

As soon as the crime was revealed, the police and prosecution,

didn't consider any suspect, other than the defendant Park Soo Ha, in their investigation.

Even when there could've been another suspect during that time at that scene.

At the scene, it shows three different footprints.

One is the victim, Min Joon Gook. The 2nd is the defendant, Park Soo Ha. And, the

last one is the fishery owner, Ji Cheol Soo.

The indoor fishery where the crime took place is open year round.

Yet, it happened to be closed only on the night of the crime.

Isn't that unusual?

Why did he take a break on that day?

To possibly prepare for this scene?

Mr. Kim Gi Ho took in the defendant, who had no memory and was of no relation to him, and didn't report it to the police.

Even telling his neighbors that he's his nephew. It's not understandable from a common sense perspective.

A person lying means that there is something that person wants to hide.

Also, we need to suspect that something.

On Park Soo Ha's side, they are going to talk about reasonable doubt and advocate that someone else might be the culprit.

That is an advantage for us.

Take in everything they say about the other culprit.

Just as they said,

I admit that we overlooked the possibility of other suspects.

It is because all the evidence was pointing towards one culprit.

Just now, the defense suggested the possibility of other suspects.

Before those suspects even had the chance to present an alibi, the defense

had already resolved any reason to suspect these people.

The owner of the fishery, Ji Cheol Soo, age 61, has severe diabetes.

The one who looked over the Defendant for over a year, Kim Gi Ho is right now 74 years old.

Just like the lawyer said, the culprit must have enough

strength to mutilate a 80kg corpse in 4 hours.

These two suspects are elderly, who have much lower stamina, than the Defendant.

With that, shouldn't these two men be excluded from the list of suspects?

Casting suspicion without any evidence just makes the Defendant's crime

more strong and suspicious.

I admit that there could've been another suspect.

But, out of all those suspects, the one who is most likely to have comitted the crime

is the Defendant, Park Soo Ha.

Nod your head as if you just heard something really amazing.

Smiling and with confidence.

Huh?

In order to trick the jury, pretend that you're really surprised.

How can we trick them in this situation when we've been really crushed.

For now, we have to cut off the prosecution's momentum.

Your Honor, Attorney Jang and I would like to further discuss the direction of the defense.

May I request a recess?

Are you crazy?

Then should we take a break?

Prosecutor, what do you think?

It's okay with us.

Members of the Jury, you are not allowed to discuss anything about the case during the break.

Then, we'll reconvene at 4 o' clock.

Take me to this address.

You did well stopping the momentum, but I don't see a way out of this.

What should I do? The jury will go over to the Prosecutor's side if this keeps up.

Should I keep pushing the issue of other possible suspects?

No.

That's useless now.

The prosecution has refuted the possibility. So, if we keep pushing the issue of other suspects, we'll be hurt.

Even though the chance is small, there is one more possible suspect.

Who?

The one who reported Park Soo Ha and received the reward money, Moon Suk Nam.

You said he lives in Ga-Pyeong.

He's not even related to Yeon Ju.

That's why it's weird.

Park Soo Ha was living in the countryside, on Ganghwa Island. But,

how can he know where Soo Ha was and report him when he was 130km away from Soo Ha?

So,

that's why you sent Yoo Chang to Ga-Pyeong? To find that person?

Yes.

I'm not just a lawyer. I was also a policeman.

So, I'm pretty sure there's something.

[Clerk Choi Yoo Chang]

Yes, Yoo Chang?

Did you meet the person who reported Park Soo Ha?

Was he big?

Does he look strong enough to commit a torso murder?

No, the situation isn't like that.

It doesn't seem like that. It's an ahjumma.

An ahjumma?!

Why is that ahjumma's name Moon Suk Nam? It confuses people.

I thought it was a man!

I know. That's why. Well, there are people with names like Kim Gong Sook that are guys.

Ah. Why are you hitting me?!

Hurry and go!

I'm going to go in a bit.

I said I didn't come to take away the reward money.

Lawyer Cha, I'm going back up (to Seoul).

What should I do?

Should I admit that he's guilty?

SHUT UP!!

What is this?

What are you going to do?

Are you going to admit that he's guilty?

There's too much evidence.

The case is too strong to break.

Don't you think there could be reasonable doubt that we haven't thought of?

I don't think there are any other suspects. Should we say it was an accidental death?

It's going the same way as how Hwang Dal Joong's case went 26 years ago.

How despicable.

Even the case's nickname is the same. The Left-handed murder case.

Hwang Dal Joong?

The Left-handed murder case?

I remember.

A reasonable doubt that we didn't think of.

Are you also perhaps thinking what I'm thinking, right now?

Yes.

There is one suspect that matches up with all the evidence.

Who is that?

[On Trial]

Defense attorney, do you have anything else you want to add?

Or shall we proceed to the summation?

I do have something to tell the judges and the jury.

Yes, please speak.

Just as you said, I admit that we cast suspicion on others, without any evidence.

But, the prosecution said there is only one person that matches with all this evidence.

So, it was thought that the defendant, Park Soo Ha, was the culprit. However,

honestly, there is one more person.

That person was at the scene, matches with all the evidence,

and even has call records. Also, wields a knife as a weapon

and has enough power to cut off one's hand.

Who is that?

It's the victim, Min Joon Gook.

What does that mean?

Min Joon Gook is the one who died in this case! How can...

How can he be a suspect?

Your Honor, and

Members of the jury,

we believe that the victim, Min Joon Gook, is still alive.
