THE ATTORNEY
Song Gang Ho.
This stop is Bumin-dong.
Oh Dal Su.
Kwak Do Won Kim Young Ae
1978 BUSAN
Counselor!
How have you been?
You!
What brings you here?
I was in the neighborhood.
I see.
- Should I come back later? - Say hello.
Song Woo Seok. He's a judge in Daejeon.
Is that so?
This is attorney Lee Heung Ki. Song Woo Seok.
Lee Heung Ki.
How do you like being a judge?
I didn't.
- So I resigned. - Resign?
They even put it on the news when you were appointed.
I thought you were serious about it.
All that media coverage for no reason?
They were only mocking me for being a high school graduate.
I'm looking to make money.
You don't need a degree to make money, right?
The founder of Hyundai only finished grade school.
You won't get many privileges with such a short term.
I don't care about things like that.
I want to work down here in Busan.
Sir.
I have a brilliant plan.
What is it?
It's absolutely brilliant.
But the thing is...
I'll need an office at least, but I'm broke.
Lend me some money.
It's all about real estate registration.
The profit margin is unbelieveable!
While lawyers run around courtrooms,
notaries rake in the money with just a few stamps.
Can lawyers do it? That's the best part.
Real estate is booming nationwide.
There's too much work for notaries to handle alone,
so they changed the law and lawyers can do it too.
Call an attorney for real estate!
I'll be home soon.
I have to go.
Good evening!
Call an attorney for real estate...
You bastard! Which club are you from?
No, I'm a lawyer.
Attorney at law, Song Woo Seok.
The law is a phone call away.
Hey! Even real estate...
What's going on here?
Call an attorney!
Goodnight.
Attorney?
Who was that?
I guess lawyers are not all high and mighty.
- It's me. - Real estate specialist...
Right.
Did you have lunch?
Not yet.
It'll take time for business to get going.
- I've got a client. - Don't worry so much.
I have to go.
Chinese delivery.
Enjoy.
Where are the pickles?
We don't deliver single orders...
Just say that you forgot them.
- Don't forget them again. - Yes, sir.
Goddamn pickles.
Is this... REAL-ESTATE REGISTRATION
Welcome!
I'll be right back with your pickles.
ANNUAL BUSAN BAR ASSOCIATION RECEPTION
Thirty percent?
Do they take us for chumps?
We're the ones putting food on their table.
But they think they put the food on ours.
Why so serious? Broker wants higher fees.
Did you hear about that fool named Song?
He hands out business cards like some salesman.
- I heard. - But what for?
I heard he does real estate registration.
Registration?
What an idiot!
How low can you go? Isn't that what notaries do?
Can lawyers do it?
Lawyers can. The law recently changed.
Someone should talk some sense into him.
- Where did he get his degree? - He only finished high school.
High school?
Well, that explains it.
The poor idiot just doesn't know any better.
Talk about a rotten apple spoiling the barrel.
A high school graduate signing real estate...
There you are, sir.
You are all early.
Don't get up.
You are here!
Did you all meet...
Hello.
I'm the idiot that has been handing out business cards.
The high school graduate, Song Woo-seok.
Real estate registration isn't too bad of a business,
since I don't send brokers a monthly check.
Enjoy, gentlemen.
I have to get going.
What happened?
- One noodle and a fried rice. - Yes, sir.
- Who ordered the coffee? - Over there.
Excuse me.
- Sorry, but there is a wait. - Counselor Kim sent me here.
Should I come back later?
- It's nice to meet you. - I've heard a lot about you.
Business is booming, as you can see.
You must have your hands full with angry notaries.
They already called with complaints, but I'm not breaking any laws.
Shall we get started, then?
Start on what?
Work.
But we just met.
I only dropped by for Counselor Kim's sake.
I heard your salary was three hundred.
Five hundred a month. What will it be?
You are awfully impatient, aren't you?
That's hot!
You two can go now.
Line up here and give me your paperwork everyone!
That's it. Give them to me.
Don't push. Take mine!
Hold on!
I'm home.
I couldn't even find the time to take a piss!
Count how much we made today.
You are still awake!
Let me pee first.
Don't just throw it all into a sack.
- What a mess. - That feels good.
Damn it!
It's not flushing again!
- Just pour some water. - Sheesh.
How many more times do we have to tell the landlord?
It's no use. We are on high ground.
Are you happy?
About what?
I am making all this money?
Are you?
Of course I am.
Is there anything you want to do?
We suddenly have all this money...
I don't know what to do with it. Right?
That's what happens to people when they have money.
You think of countless things to buy when you're broke.
- But it's different when you're rich. - That's true.
Those little rats.
They're at it again. Sheesh!
You're making a mess!
Damn it.
Recently, they are even louder.
Go to sleep. It's late.
- My goodness. - I'm sure they understand.
You try it then.
Forget it. It sounds nothing like it.
Hey.
Let's move to an apartment.
There's no mice there!
And no water gushing out!
No newspapers.
It's not newspapers.
I'm a lawyer.
Good afternoon.
Song Woo Seok, Attorney at Law.
- Attorney? - Yes, ma'am.
"Real estate specialist".
- What is this about? - Well...
May I come inside for a moment?
- Your husband is home. - No, he's some lawyer.
And we're not done yet.
Have a seat.
- So what is this about? - They grow these domestically now.
Oh my!
These are pineapples!
This is too much...
But what brings you here?
- I want to buy this house. - Excuse me?
But it's not for sale.
That's right.
Apartment 803 is on the market.
You came to the wrong house.
This is the tenth floor.
Isn't it nice here?
Great view of the ocean. Lots of sunlight.
And sturdy framework. Whoever built it did good work.
Look here!
- Our house isn't for sale! - I want to buy this apartment.
I'll give you $25,000 for it.
The other place is $20,000.
You'll be making $5,000 just by moving.
What will it be?
Mrs. Lee.
I'll buy the rest tomorrow. Okay.
Would you care for some cold juice, sir?
Sounds great.
Bye now.
Is there some reason for buying this particular house?
Well...
Why don't you finish your makeup first?
My goodness! Oh my!
How embarassing!
SEVEN YEARS AGO
Thank you.
Was the baby born today? Which room is it?
Excuse me?
The mother's name is Jang Su Kyung.
- Room 202. - 202?
Two...
Gosh...
You're here, ma'am.
There's my smart son-in-law.
You look exhausted from all that studying.
Don't mind the fees. I took care of it.
What?
Oh.
You shouldn't have. I can pay it.
Just go on in.
You must have been startled.
He is impatient just like his father.
Why do you look all miserable?
- Want some more? - I'm fine.
I almost forgot.
If you can pay me for last month.
I have to pay the butcher later.
Thank you, ma'am. It was delicious.
Thank you.
- Come again. - Goodnight.
I need my books back.
NEVER GIVE UP
You like it? It's our new home.
My goodness gracious.
Someone scribbled on here.
We should replaster it.
Oh my.
Gun Woo.
You can read now, right?
What does that say?
"Never give up."
- I wrote it the day you were born. - You did?
Son.
I built this house. Isn't it nice?
- You really built it, Dad? - Of course.
I built it so we could all live here together.
One brick after another.
Should we eat out?
- Thank you, ma'am. - Is it good?
Sure.
Goodnight.
- What is it, honey? - Huh?
- I have a debt to settle. - A debt?
Nothing. Eat up.
Can I get you anything?
Do you remember me?
Ma'am.
You don't remember me?
My memory isn't what it used to be.
I ran out without paying the bill seven years ago.
Oh!
You were studying to become a lawyer.
Remember, Mom?
You called him a crook, perfect for being a lawyer.
Remember?
You!
Are you really that twit?
- Did you pass? - I did.
I'm an attorney now.
Really?
I was a judge in Daejeon. Now an attorney here.
Say hello.
This is my wife.
- Nice to meet you. - You too.
My goodness.
A wife and two children.
The poor flimsy thing came back as a man.
Ma'am.
Please forgive me.
I should have come sooner,
but I finally come to pay my dues.
Sheesh!
Put that away.
I have long forgotten about that.
Don't make me into a real crook now.
I said to put that away.
Seeing you this successful is enough payment.
- But ma'am... - Come now!
This isn't enough for seven years.
Huh?
Old debts are settled by face, not money.
It means you better come back often!
To heck with it. Your meal is free today, too!
Gosh, ma'am.
Will you let me hug you?
Ma'am...
Thank you so much.
Why let a good meal sit bad all these years?
My goodness.
Thank you.
Next.
Who didn't get coffee?
Here you go.
You should add more chives.
That's good.
Yangjeong.
Dongrae District.
Yangjeong. Central Busan.
Let's take a break.
I told you it needs more chives.
What's wrong?
- Not feeling well? - I'm fine.
I'll be back. Take care.
Excuse me. How old are you?
Seven!
I bet you're excited to move.
Like a cat pissing in the sky!
It's chilly.
- Where are you going? - Not this again.
It's perfect weather for some good stew.
Let's get you a balanced diet.
How about some seafood? With a little soju.
What?
You'll drink yourself silly like last time.
Come on! That smell!
You like rice wine so much, but did you know this?
They use blowfish to wipe...
I put in extra meat today. Wow.
What about mine?
Anyway, blowfish skin is so toxic...
When will we say goodbye, little piggie?
Come on, Song.
Why are you so picky about food?
You need a balanced diet.
It's time we changed our menu.
Let's set up a better office and a secretary.
- It doesn't look good... - Call girls serving coffee?
Then let's do it right. We will renovate the office.
Get us a nice secretary.
As for the menu,
we'll keep eating here.
Watch the sides!
This way.
Put it where people can see it.
Have a cold drink.
Here you go.
Nice and cold.
What about me?
- You're hardly working. - I have a bad back.
And Song is overdoing it.
We didn't pay good money to haul things ourselves.
Song! You can speak English?
Huh?
It's all in English!
What is this, sir?
Those orchids could use some water, Miss Moon.
Okay!
They are dry as a bone!
Would you read these if they were in Korean?
It's purely for show. May as well be in English.
There you go.
Put these right in the middle.
I know you love me...
- Hurry and get dressed! - Who is it?
Our neighbor is coming to ask about taxes.
- Goodness. - Is that so?
Wipe your face a little.
I'm letting her in.
The penalties are higher than the original deduction.
- It's a bit much. - Exactly!
Let's try this.
Thank you, Mr. Song. It's nothing.
- Take care. - You too.
Goodnight.
Bye.
Damn it. It's over.
- What? - I'm impressed.
Shucks.
That's hardly impressive.
Are the kids asleep? Come now.
It was impressive,
but earnings are short these days.
- Are you hiding it from me? - Of course not.
All those badmouthing lawyers are doing real estate too now.
Less work means less money.
Why hire a secretary if there's less work?
I hear she's awfully pretty.
Gosh.
Well...
I guess she's not too hard on the eyes...
I really wasn't keen on hiring anyone,
but Mr. Park insisted with all those call girls...
What are call girls doing in your office?
Well...
I don't...
Why were they?
We had to serve coffee.
We were short handed...
All those times you told me not to come.
And that was why.
- Come on. - Forget it.
- Are the kids asleep? - Forget it.
Stop it.
- I said, stop it. - I thought you were impressed.
Stop it.
Mr. Park.
I've been thinking.
Why don't we change our range of practice?
I would say it's about time.
All the lawyers are doing registration these days.
Look how empty it is.
Did you have something in mind?
- Why don't we do taxes? - Taxes?
Taxes are good.
But you need to know about accounting as much as law.
I learned it all back in high school.
No lawyer around does books like I can.
Really?
I can bring in all the tax cases.
I even thought of a great slogan.
"We take care of you and your interests."
Tax law specialist, Song Woo Seok.
That's perfect!
This is why I love you, Song.
Sound good? Absolutely.
Mr. Song! Mr. Park! Come quick!
What's all the ruckus?
- Come quick! - What are all those people?
Down with Song Woo Seok! Down with lawyers!
I'm Song Woo Seok. What is this about?
You call that a question?
All the lawyers are in real estate because of you!
Say we're switching to taxes and they will leave.
They shouldn't come here making a scene.
Stop blocking my office!
Sue me if I'm at fault! Or I'll sue for interference!
- What did he just say? - He's impossible.
Down with Song Woo Seok! Down with lawyers!
Jesus.
What's going on?
Are you alright?
What's happening?
Nineteen Eighty One.
Inspector Cha Dong Young.
This medal is for your achievements in national security.
President Chun Doo Hwan.
You played a big role in this case.
You did well.
Thank you, sir.
- Superintendent General. - Yes.
I need a favor.
Inspector Cha.
- I need him to do a case in Busan. - Sure.
If the country needs his services, who am I to say no?
Which prosecutor do you have in mind?
We put Kang Hyung Chul on the case already.
He is studying the files as we speak.
- Inspector. - Yes, sir.
You have to stop them from starting another riot.
That is how you serve your country.
I'll keep that in mind, sir.
Goodnight. Take care.
Wait. I almost forgot.
Thanks for lending me the books. No problem.
Mrs. Park!
Thank you for the meal. Come back soon.
Goodnight.
See you tomorrow.
That's it for tonight. Hurry up!
- We were about to close. - But it's so early.
Say hello, Jin Woo. These are my classmates.
- I became alumni president. - That's great.
- But we were closing. - I brought them all this way...
- Isn't she pretty? - She sure is!
I dragged them all here to show you off.
Bring us some soju. Pork stews all around.
Sit down, boys.
This is good. Thank you.
I meant to go to the reunions,
but it wasn't easy getting my practice going.
They are all from big-name universities.
All high and mighty.
They won't make room for a high school graduate like me.
But I'm still kicking butt because I'm just that good.
Right you are.
Now I'm at the top.
I have a hotshot lawyer friend, thanks to you.
Let's drink to that! Cheers!
Look...
You boys come to me if you ever have legal problems.
It's on the house. You mean it?
Alumni president's honors.
I'll make some trouble, then. Don't say that.
Crowds cheered on as the President and the First Lady waved.
Celebrating the birth of a great nation under a great leader.
The Central District Court sentenced the group of socialist radicals...
- Rioting college students... - Turn that down!
What kind of corrupt law is that?
A flawed government and its absurd law enforcement...
What's wrong with sentencing criminals for violating the law?
Their parents didn't send them to college to do protests.
What's wrong with putting those idiots away?
Hey!
You believe this rubbish?
The media is the last thing you can trust now.
Sheesh!
Then what?
What should we believe, if not the media?
What?
The gossips of old women in hair parlors?
It's been long since all the honest reporters were fired.
Making money is fine and all,
but pay some attention to the world.
Goddamn lawyers.
Then why are you still a high and mighty reporter?
According to what you're saying,
you weren't fired because you kept feeding lies.
Hey!
Like a coward!
I kept my damn mouth shut like a coward!
That's why I was not fired.
At least I'm not running blind with my eyes wide open!
Where are you going?
We were just getting started.
Don't get upset over a stupid argument!
Sit back down. Come on.
Yoon Taek.
You're one heck of a smart man, but much too biased.
Why do you find fault in everything?
The real problem is these smart kids protesting all the time!
Instead of studying to find logical solution to things.
They are doing that bullshit to get out of studying!
What?
Have you ever stopped to think why they are protesting?
What are all those smart kids doing that for?
Because they are sick of studying?
Snap out of it, you idiot!
You think it's fine and dandy, since you are successful?
Look here.
I never went to college,
but those spoiled idiots don't seem too smart to me.
They think they can change the world with a few protests?
That's not the world I live in!
Sheesh.
Change the world?
Bullshit.
Grab him!
You know something?
That's lack of pride.
Are you that ashamed of yourself?
You bastard!
Cut it out! Stop it!
What's gotten into you two? Come on!
Just drop it!
Ow...
Gibbering fool.
A high and mighty lawyer fighting like children.
Hang on. That needs an ointment.
- I'm alright. - To hell you are.
You don't protest, right?
You'll be damned if you do, when your mother works this hard.
Pay attention when an adult is talking to you.
- This corrupt system should be damned. - What did you say?
Come over here.
I have to clean up this mess.
If protesting could change the world,
I would have done it ages ago.
You think the world is that soft?
You can throw dozens of eggs, but it can't hurt a boulder.
As weak as eggs are, they are still living things.
Boulders will break into dust, but eggs will hatch with life.
Ever hear that saying?
What about eggs now?
Are you mocking me because of the mess I made?
Is that what it is?
I will pay for it all.
Here.
That's for the food and drinks.
That's for the broken table.
That's for the broken plates.
And that's for you to take a girl out on a date.
That's enough.
Say thank you when an adult gives you money.
People will call you a bastard with that kind of attitude!
What did you say?
Ma'am...
This isn't nearly enough!
Go get the salt.
- I didn't mean... - Mom.
You learn these manners from your father?
You think money solves everything, you drunken nitwit?
- Get me the salt! - I didn't mean it, ma'am.
Come on, sir.
- I'm sorry, ma'am. - Just go home.
Hold on a minute. Get out of my sight!
- Calm down, Mom. - You drunken fool!
- I'm sorry, ma'am. - He's just drunk.
I didn't mean to...
Good afternoon. I'm Cha Dong Young.
I'm Kang Hyung Chul.
Your reputation precedes you, Inspector Cha.
You're too kind. Here.
I did some digging around to cook something up,
but I couldn't find much.
It's up to you now to wrap things up.
Our country would be damned if they were real commies.
My father was a high grade detective, and he used to say...
"If I have to chase after criminals, it's already over."
"Detectives like me don't arrest. We prevent."
Sounds like a fine man. How is he?
He was slaughtered in the Korean War.
Lieutenant Yoon Sung Du!
Come here.
- Why are you in uniform? - I didn't receive orders otherwise.
I was only told to report here.
Wear civilian clothing from now on.
You'll be known as Manager Yoon here.
What are my duties here, sir?
Aren't you a medic? You will save lives.
"I asked Asako where to put the shoes."
"She gazed at me with eyes of wonder,"
"then told me I do not need to take my shoes off."
"Then sudden"...
"Then suddenly, she brought me the umbrella I had left behind."
- "I still recall the umbrella"... - Hey!
Tell us about your first love.
I haven't had one yet.
Then you want me to be your "Asako"?
"I sometimes thought of Asako."
"If she had married"...
Can we help you?
Park Jin Woo. Busan Engineering College.
Your mother sells pork stew?
Run!!
Get over here.
You heard me!
Run away, Jin Woo! Hurry!
Shut your trap, communist bitch!
Quick!
There's one out the window.
Why are you doing this?
Jin Woo?
Manager Yoon!
Hurry up!
Come on!
- Let's get dinner. - Anything but seafood.
Just stay down.
- How about mill noodles? - What's that?
A type of cold noodles.
- Is it any good? - Not bad.
The IV takes time to finish. Let him sleep for the day.
- Let's order in. - What for?
Let's try some mill noodles.
National Security Law and martial law?
That's how they got those book clubs in Seoul.
Now they are using the same strategy on these kids.
We will talk when you get back.
How have you been, sir?
Not too great.
But I hear you are doing well.
The most successful lawyer in Busan.
Successful?
I'm just working hard.
- I heard you bought a fancy yacht. - Fancy?
Is that what they say?
Sheesh.
The country hick made money and lost his mind, eh?
Is something wrong, sir?
Seems so...
I'm rather busy today.
- Let's make it quick. - Sure.
- You know those Seoul law firms? - Law firm?
I thought I would start one myself.
Building a sturdy system, if you will.
But no one will sign on just for me.
So I thought I could ask you to join me.
Didn't you hear about my license suspension?
Of course I heard.
I'll bring in the money until the suspension is lifted.
Song.
I appreciate the offer,
but we are on two different paths.
We breathe different air. See different worlds.
Don't be disappointed.
You will find someone better.
There you are.
I am preoccupied today, but we will talk.
Alright, sir.
Oh!
Come by the pier sometimes.
We will do a few laps and get some food.
They busted the night school?
- How many were arrested? - Nine in total.
CLOSED TEMPORARILY
She's been running around town looking for her son.
It's been over a month now.
They want us to take the case, so they can lock us up.
We need a lawyer they won't suspect.
Someone we can get through to.
One they won't suspect...
You can't tax them on all these dishonored bills and bonds.
It's nothing but a deliberate attempt to bankrupt them.
Shall we go to court, then?
That's more like it.
They will send you a new bill.
Great.
- You saved us again. - It's our pleasure.
- Thank you. - You will have the papers tomorrow.
- Have a nice day. - Thank you.
Take care!
Gosh.
Get me something to drink. Again?
Welcome.
- Wait a second. - Excuse me.
I'm Lee Chang Jun with Haedong Constructions.
Have a nice day.
Song!
This is it!
You are going national with a case like this!
- Don't get your hopes up. - Too late for that.
Haedong Constructions is top class.
One of the best ten companies in the country.
And he is the son that inherits it.
I thought they would go to a big law firm in Seoul.
But it means they think you are even better.
- Have I told you that I love you? - Mr. Park.
You have connections with the police.
Sure.
Then see if there are any cases concerning Park Jin Woo.
Park Jin Woo?
The pork stew lady's son?
He's been missing for over a month.
- I think something happened. - I will look into it.
Where are you going? We should celebrate.
I'm feeling all anxious...
I'll just go for a lap.
They called it a luxury yacht that sailed the Pacific.
Counselor Kim.
You sound disappointed.
- It's a dinghy used for racing. - Racing?
I'm looking to enter the Olympics.
They are announcing the host city of the '88 Olympics soon.
If it turns out to be Seoul, the yacht races will be held here.
An athlete needs to own a yacht in order to compete.
So I thought I would try it.
There aren't any Korean athletes who own a yacht.
Is that so?
I know what these Busan lawyers are saying about me.
A money-hungry idiot with no education.
But I've made enough money.
Now I want to serve my country.
Olympic athlete, Song Woo Seok!
Sailing is my only joy these days.
Song.
Yes?
Can you take on a case for me?
I've got a big case coming up, but anything for you.
What case is it?
It's...
National Security Law.
National Security?
Gosh.
How many lawyers did you meet before me?
Quite a few.
I'm just a greedy tax attorney, sir.
Right.
I will see you around.
Sorry for the hassle.
Don't say that, sir.
Why don't you stay for a beer?
- You know the kid? - The son of a local restaurant.
- The counselor eats there every day. - Heck.
Then just forget about it and move on.
But he's not the kind to get in trouble.
- It's a communist case. - Communist?
Stay out of it, no matter what.
It's being handled directly by the boys upstairs.
That's not good.
Sure.
Just one moment.
Honey, it's Mr. Park.
LARGEST ANTIGOVERNMENT GROUP ARRESTED SINCE KOREAN WAR
ATTORNEY AT LAW SONG WOO SEOK
Ma'am!
Is that you?
What are you doing out here?
You're a lawyer, right?
Yes.
Jin Woo!
What happened to Jin Woo?
VIOLATION OF NATIONAL SECURITY PARK JIN WOO
It's a notice of trial.
He is in prison and his trial is...
In two days?
I went to the prison to see him,
but they wouldn't let me.
They said it's against the law.
That's absurd!
Guardians have full visitation rights.
Then...
Can I see him if I go with you?
Counselor!
How are you, ma'am?
Counselor Song.
The chairman sent a car for you downstairs.
I need your help.
You know that Jin Woo isn't a communist.
Please go and tell them that he's not a communist.
Help me this once.
I'll serve you for the rest of my life if you help me.
The car is waiting, Counselor.
Can't you see me talking with the counselor?
Ma'am.
I have this important meeting, but we can go afterwards.
I ran around like a lunatic looking for my son.
I even looked through the morgue.
Please. I need your help.
I have no one else to turn to.
I'm begging you.
I'm so sorry about what I said before.
I was out of line. Please forgive me.
Ma'am...
I promise to go with you later, but I can't cancel this.
Come help her, Miss Moon.
My Jin Woo...
Jin Woo isn't a communist. He's not...
I'm sorry, ma'am.
Counselor! Sir!
Jin Woo isn't a communist!
Did you see today's paper?
It's the Busan book club case.
Jin Woo got mixed up in it.
- The book club case? - Yes.
You knew about it?
I didn't want you to worry about it.
- Now you tell me? - I was going to...
- Gentlemen. - Get up. He's here.
This way, Father.
Excuse me, ma'am.
Do you know where this is?
Street number 16-3.
Mrs. Park!
Is anyone home?
Ma'am.
Counselor!
It's really you!
Please forgive me for earlier.
Thank you.
- Thank you so much. - There's no need.
She has her visitation rights!
Is this prison somehow above the Constitution?
It's nothing like that.
The public visiting room is in repairs.
Then we will use the private visiting room.
Is that under repair too? Because I will sue you if it isn't!
He's throwing a fit and threatened to sue us!
Just him and the mother.
The mother?
He wasn't sent by Counselor Kim.
- Seems the mother brought him. - What's his name?
"Tax law specialist, Song Woo Seok."
"We take care of you and your interests."
Right away, sir.
Down the hall to the left.
Let's go.
Jin Woo! What happened?
It's me, Jin Woo. Your mother and I!
Jin Woo?
Look at me! Jin Woo!
They treat me well. I confessed my crimes.
I'm guilty. I'll be good now.
I'll be good...
Mom...
Mom!
Mom!
What's wrong?
Are you hurt?
What's this?
Why are you hurt? Who did this to you?
- This is unauthorized... - Get your hands off!
- Jin Woo! - What are these bruises?
You filthy crook!
You did this!
You did this to my son, goddamn bastards!
It was you!
You filthy bastards!
- Did they beat you, Jin Woo? - How dare you!
You crooks!
Filthy bastard!
What's this?
Let go, ma'am!
Just grab her!
Jin Woo!
Let go of my son!
- Mom! - Jin Woo!
Jin Woo!
Mom! Jin Woo!
Jin Woo!
Mom!
Mrs. Park!
Ma'am!
Call an ambulance!
Wake up! Ma'am!
They're scared it'll look suspicious if they appoint counsel.
They dropped a name. Park Byung Ho.
Park Byung Ho?
- I'll talk to him. - He'll only cut down the sentence.
They convict people with no crime. What good is a trial?
Park might be our solution.
What is this book club case?
What are the charges?
Reading subversive literature with seditious content.
Praising anti-governmental groups.
These are what they call "subversive literature".
That was their excuse at first.
Then they design a specific crime through interrogation.
WHAT IS HISTORY? BY E.H. CARR
HISTORICAL AWARENESS IN A DIVIDED ERA
Why does the news mention North Korea and communist orders?
- His name is Jin Woo? - Yes.
Does he seem like a communist?
He's...
How is this possible?
This was not suppose to happen!
No, it's not.
I'll do it.
I'll take this case.
Song.
You have been up all night.
Get some sleep. We will talk.
You should not decide such things on sudden impulse.
Then why did you suddenly come looking for me?
I was in a hurry.
I needed to postpone the trial while I found the proper lawyer.
I am a proper lawyer.
Look, Song.
- I'm not putting you down. - I told you.
I am representing Jin Woo.
If you give up midway...
I will never give up.
- What brings you here? - Here for a trial?
Coverage.
Some fixed case about book clubs.
- Were you sent here to play puppet. - The book club case?
Let me know if you need anything.
- For what? - I'm representing that case.
- You? - Yes.
Are tired of making money now?
Don't tell me.
- You're going into politics? - That's not it.
- You go write the article. - Yes, sir.
- I'm sick of playing puppet. - Alright.
Jesus. I need a drink.
Let's go get drunk.
Yoon Taek.
Let's go.
Counselor Park!
How have you been?
I'll be fine if you don't cause me trouble.
What are your plans for this case?
I don't have any plans.
I'm just an anvil. You are the hammer.
If you don't slam me, we will all be fine.
Let's cut the talk and head inside.
We haven't met.
Don't you see these?
There you are.
Good morning, sir. It has been a while.
- I spoke with the chief prosecutor. - I see.
Well...
Let's keep it simple gentlemen.
I never expected to see you in these courts, Song.
What a surprise.
I thought we would say hello.
There are a lot of reporters here covering this high-profile case.
Be discreet with your statements.
I'll see you all in court.
Counselor Song.
I hear you got an offer from Haedong Constructions.
Why are you defending commies at such a critical time?
Excuse me?
Is there a relative involved?
Tell me who it is. I'll go easy on him.
Goodness... Ki Woong!
Tae Jun!
Honorable Judge Park presiding.
All rise!
Be seated!
Court is now in session for trial of national security violations...
Objection.
Counselor. The trial hasn't even begun.
Precisely.
- Precisely why I'm objecting. - Well?
If it fails to be appropriate,
you will be held accountable for obstruction of justice.
Article 280 of the penal code prohibits the physical restraint of defendants.
I ask for the immediate removal of the ropes and handcuffs.
It also states that defendants must be seated "at the head of the court".
This is how trials are held in...
Article 26, clause 4 of the Constitution states "innocent until proven guilty".
This trial has not yet begun!
I will not tolerate treating the defendants as criminals.
The abuse of public authority!
Isn't that what we are here to determine?
Your Honor.
Prosecution may state the charges.
Since March 8th of 1981, these defendants including Park Jin Woo
held thirteen illegal gatherings disguised as a book club.
Contrary to the pretense of a book club,
the defendants studied works of subversive literature.
They praised Communist beliefs and antinational propaganda.
They organized a secret revolt to do the biddings of the North.
These are their signed confessions revealing all of these atrocities.
I will now quote part of Park Jin Woo's confession.
"Vietnam has not collapsed, but reunited under a Socialist system."
"South Korea must follow in suit."
"The goal for now is to overthrow the current fascist regime,"
"but we must liberate the peninsula through a socialist revolution."
We present these statements as evidence before the court.
Defendant!
Did you personally write these statements?
They are the result of torture...
I didn't ask you!
I'm asking the defendant!
Defendant!
Answer with a yes or no.
Yes, you wrote it. No, you didn't.
Yes.
I wrote it, but...
And you signed it yourself? Yes or no.
Yes.
The court accepts it as evidence.
This is your first National Security Law case?
Yes.
I was forced to prosecute public safety cases back in the day.
National Security cases are about one thing.
- What? - Negotiation of penalties!
Not guilty or innocent!
- And you meddled with the judge! - Counselor.
Do you believe these kids did anything wrong?
- That's... - He has bruises all over him.
What good is a confession if they forced it from him through torture?
According to the law?
They would all be innocent for insufficient evidence.
Our very President would be convicted, according to the law.
For military insurrection!
Are we not here to uphold the law?
I'm not here to teach you about justice!
If you want to finish this, just do as I tell you.
I'll take care of it. Your duty is to assist me!
I don't think so.
I may not have much experience, but I know Jin Woo is innocent.
I just have to prove it, and that's my duty.
Song!
He is out of his damn mind!
Attorney Song Woo Seok's office.
It's the British Consulate. The embassy sent a reply.
- What should I say? - I'll go right now.
He is heading over now.
- Alright. - You should go home.
Counselor Song!
Where have you been all day?
- You drank again? - Sure did.
I met the Haedong people to seal our deal!
I got us a nice... Going somewhere?
- I'm representing Jin Woo. - Jin Woo?
Park Jin Woo?
Absolutely not. Never!
- I already went to trial. - Just forget about it.
I promise.
I'll find a better pork stew place.
- And we will go every day. - It won't interfere with Haedong.
Song!
Life is all about timing,
and there's a super highway in front of you.
Why are you hitting the brakes, when you should be speeding?
For my kids.
So they can live in a world free of this nonsense.
It will be a better world for your son, too.
Don't worry about him. I'm sending him abroad.
- I'm not done talking. - I'm doing Jin Woo's trial.
Counselor Song!
Your name and affiliation.
UM Tae Nam. Domestic and Foreign Policy Institute.
- What are your duties? - Evaluating subversive literature.
"What is History? Was written by E.H. Carr, a historian and a communist."
"This book justifies communist beliefs and serves as a threat to readers."
"It may inseminate such views in a reader."
"Should any person study this text,"
"they are showing interest in learning communist theory."
Is this the evaluation issued by your institute?
- That is correct. - Prosecution rests.
Begin the cross-examination.
Where is this institute?
- Where is it located? - Yongsan, Seoul.
What's the address?
I'm not sure.
You don't know the address?
- Is that illegal? - Counselor.
I don't know the court address either.
Don't delay this trial with irrelevant questions.
Do a proper cross-examination.
I can tell you the address.
32-16 Yejang-dong, Seoul. Is that right?
I don't... Then how about this?
- Is that where the ANSP office is? - The location of ANSP is classified!
Counsel is currently revealing matters of national security.
Counsel thanks prosecution for confirming the location.
If the boys upstairs tell you it's a communist book,
do you even read it before the evaluation?
Counsel is reaching a conclusion based on speculation.
I wouldn't have to, if the witness had done his job.
You wrote that E.H. Carr is a communist living in the USSR.
- He lived there for years... - So he is a Soviet commie?
- I bet my life on it. - No need for that.
He did live in the Soviet Union, but why?
Why did he live there when he was not Russian?
E.H. Carr was a diplomat from Britain, our ally in the war.
He was the British Ambassador to the Soviet Union.
- Counsel cannot prove these claims. - Can you prove it, Counselor?
This is a telegram sent by the British Embassy.
"Edward Hallett Carr was born in London and educated at Cambridge."
"A respected historian and diplomat of the United Kingdom."
"What is History? Is not a text which advocates communist beliefs."
"We encourage more readers in Korea to study this text."
"Foreign and Commonwealth Office."
This nation fought by our side...
Are you saying they are communists just to convict these students?
This morning,
I bought the subversive books these defendants read.
These books can be found in any bookstore.
Even recommended by Seoul National University.
Does that make our nation's top university a corrupted school?
Your Honor.
Prosecutor Kang.
Didn't you both graduate from this corrupt university?
This trial is full of nonsense, like this fake evaluation.
Their book club is nothing more than a book club.
Students with little money sharing their books.
They study together and teach others.
We should be applauding them.
These defendants are not defendants at all!
They are victims of unjust and cruel public authority.
Get me the Haedong files.
They said it's hopeless.
Hitting boulders with eggs.
Boulders will break into dust, but eggs will hatch.
Didn't you tell me that?
Are you gonna sit around and let them break you?
Huh?
Can you remember where they tortured you?
Their faces and names?
They called each other Director Cha, Manager Yoon.
Director Cha?
Where did they keep you?
It was in an old building. Some kind of motel.
Motel?
You remember where?
They had my eyes covered...
Stop here.
SAMIL MEDIA GROUP
There was a van parked outside for days.
Just stay down!
Or we will break you.
- Mr. Lee! - Yes, sir.
Bring him over here.
Get up. You little bastard.
According to what you wrote, you deserve a medal.
You kids studied together and taught other kids.
Look up at me.
- Jin Woo. - Yes.
- Do we look like bad guys? - No, sir.
What do you believe in, Jin Woo?
Believe?
I don't...
It's an easy question.
The thoughts that you keep close to your heart.
What are they?
Existentialism?
Did existentialism sound right? Mother fucker.
Grab him.
Wait! I was wrong!
I made a mistake!
Existentialism?
You goddamn commie!
What in the hell?
I'm a lawyer!
You thought you could waltz in here?
Huh? Wait.
Goddamn bastard.
Tax specialist attorney?
- Song Woo Seok. - I'm Park...
- Park Jin Woo's lawyer. - A commie counsel.
The law seem like bullshit to you?
Breaking and entering, and obstruction of justice!
You little...
Attention!
Mr. Lawyer.
You think the war is over?
It's called an armistice.
This is just intermission.
But for some reason,
everyone thinks the war is over.
You know why?
Because of men like me.
We risk our lives to catch these filthy commies,
so people like you can go to sleep at night!
Go home and think about it.
How grateful you are to men like me.
How you can serve your country!
Counsel may begin examination.
Defendant.
Jin Woo.
How much did you weigh before they took you?
- Sixty-four kilograms. - And now?
I don't know.
These prison records say fifty-three kilograms.
You lost over ten kilos in two months.
Did the police feed you?
Sometimes they did. Sometimes they didn't.
When did they not feed you, and for what reason?
I threw up what I ate after they tortured me.
Since then, they didn't feed me on days I got tortured.
Quiet down.
I'll do anything you want.
Jin Woo.
Now...
You remember who mentioned reunification and all that?
I remember.
I remember everything.
Are you ready to write down the truth again?
Yes.
But if I write those lies that I make up...
What happens to him?
Lies?
Mother fucker.
Who told you to lie?
Who told you that?
I told you to write down the truth!
The goddamn truth!
Hold him down!
Your Honor!
These students aren't the ones that should be on trial!
It's the detective who beat and tortured them!
It's the corrupted prosecution and our military regime.
Counsel is threatening governmental authority!
I'm warning you. Speak with discretion!
Your Honor.
The defendant's mother...
She searched the city for months for her missing son.
She even...
She...
She ran to the morgue with a heavy heart.
Why did she look through the unidentified bodies?
Because the police kidnapped the defendants to torture them.
Prosecution may begin.
I'm not finished!
Don't create a scene, or I'll throw you out!
What was the worst thing you experienced there?
Resentment.
All those lies...
If I make up lies on a statement,
it would come back to me with more lies on it.
March 8th! He says you did this.
Why didn't you write it?
I'm sorry, sir. I didn't know, sir.
So...
- Do you know now? - Yes, I know.
I know very well now.
Read it.
May 15th...
And?
Anything else?
More?
Your memories are different.
- This is your last chance. - Yes, sir.
Dates, times, and names.
- Get it right. - Yes, sir.
- Begin! - Begin.
We took the train to Seoul on May 15th.
Took a bus from Seoul Station. We got off at the last stop.
We met Mr. Kim and went to Kaebong-dong.
Mr. Kim called for a revolution to overthrow the government,
and you and I nodded.
When we arrived,
the workers were gathered to welcome us.
So you and I educated them to raise their awareness.
We read subversive literature
and shouted protest slogans.
Mr. Kim gave us some money the next day,
and on the train back to Busan...
We stopped at Daejeon and had some noodles.
The noodles were so good.
The cherry blossoms were blooming...
We said they smelled so pretty...
Ki Woong. Jin Woo.
Don't cry.
You did nothing wrong.
Ki Woong! Don't cry!
It's okay!
- Punish the torturer! - Release the defendants!
Release them!
Bailiff!
Quiet!
Banish the military regime!
Quiet!
Clear the courtroom! Take the defendants!
Defense rests with this examination.
These confessions were forced through violence and torture.
They cannot and must not be used as evidence!
Defense calls for Cha Dong Young to testify before the court.
Hey.
Is this really necessary?
I'll extenuate the circumstances and negotiate the sentences.
Prosecutor?
- Then I will negotiate with the... - Counselor Park!
And Your Honor.
This trial is about revealing the manipulation of public authority,
and Cha Dong Young is the key.
He must testify!
I will.
Prosecution accepts.
Fine.
The court accepts the witness.
CONFESSIONS THROUGH TORTURE CORRUPT INVESTIGATION
Yes. The Busan book club case.
Leave it there.
I'll see you there.
Leave it.
We can buy the tax administration at these prices.
But why do you think we insist on hiring you?
I am starting to wonder.
This may sound strange,
but I want to clean up this nation more than anyone.
Democracy was what I envied most while studying in the U.S.
But these people took power through a military coup.
Do you think they will just agree to American democracy?
You can't get through to them. They must be driven out.
Civil movements. Democratization.
It's accomplished by bourgeoisie, middle-class citizens.
But for a civil revolution to happen in this country,
the national income must be three times higher.
Our people are not ready yet.
Counselor Song.
My father received a call today.
He told me to fire you and find another lawyer,
but I insisted.
If you sign this,
you will work exclusively for us.
If you continue with that case, we will have to say...
We never met you.
Thank you for your courtesy.
I mean it.
But say that you have met me.
Just tell them you couldn't work with a nut like me.
I have a trial to prepare for.
Just one thing.
I recently realized it,
but I can't agree to the notion that poor citizens cannot have justice.
Oh well.
But remember this.
You turned down the chance of a lifetime today.
Don't regret it.
COUNSELOR CAUSES DISTURBANCE OBSTRUCTS TRIAL PROCESS
That's the car! Where?
- Is it him? - That's the bastard!
You communist crook!
Go back home, commie!
You filthy lawyer!
Take it off.
Your shirt, you idiot!
- The court is full! - You can't do this!
- Why can't we go in? - There are no seats left.
What's going on here?
- There are no seats left. - No seats?
Don't worry.
- It's half empty! - Da Woon!
Dae Jun!
Let us in!
I solemnly affirm,
that the evidence I shall give shall be the truth,
the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
Cha Dong Young.
Defense may begin.
Your name and affiliation.
Cha Dong Young, Busan Central Police.
Witness!
- Did you lawfully arrest the suspects? - I did.
Did you show them a warrant?
Counsel doesn't seem to know much about the law.
National Security cases are dealt rather differently.
We apprehend suspects first. Warrants come afterwards.
Should I come back after you do some studying?
- Go home and study! - Stupid high school graduate.
Were the families notified of their arrests?
We tried, but some people were not home...
You illegally held them in custody for two months?
Counselor!
I told you to study National Security Law.
National Security cases allow up to fifty days of legal detainment.
Answer the question!
And mind your tone in this courtroom!
- You only have the forged confessions? - Defense is leading the witness.
Counselor!
The only evidence you have are their confessions?
Sneaky commies like them never leave evidence.
What evidence can there be for crimes of thought?
National Security cases focus on confessions.
National Security again.
The Constitution prohibits conviction of suspects on confessions alone.
Is National Security Law above all our legal foundations?
Don't ask me. I only do what the law says.
How do you decide that this concerns National Security?
I've done it for thirteen years.
I can spot a National Security case just by looking at them.
Really? Then tell me...
If I root for Ali instead of Foreman, did I violate National Security?
According to your interpretation, I'm guilty if Kim Il Sung roots for Ali.
Defense has ridiculed the law and idolized the North Korean leader.
A few students gathered for a book club.
How did you decide that they violated National Security Law?
On what grounds?
I don't decide it. The nation does.
The nation?
What is this nation that you speak of?
You call yourself a lawyer, not knowing what a nation is?
I know all too well.
Constitution Article 1, clause 2!
"Sovereignty lies with the people."
"All authority is granted by the people"!
The people are the nation!
A nation you oppressed with no legal grounds,
under premises of national security!
Those soldiers who took hold of the government by force!
They are your nation!
Shut your mouth! Counsel is threatening the witness!
- Witness. - Counselor!
Did you torture the suspects for their confessions?
- No. - Witness is committing perjury!
I didn't torture them!
Will you keep denying what these pictures show?
Those were self-inflicted.
Self-inflicted?
Cut this bullshit and speak the truth.
You think you're a patriot?
Far from it.
You are nothing but a parasite feeding off an innocent nation!
Speak the truth.
That's real patriotism!
- Shut your trap, commie! - Get out of here!
This is no examination! Defense is threatening him!
One more time and I'll have you removed!
Remove those planted reprobates for obstruction first!
- Prosecution proceed. - I'm not finished!
I'll do this all night!
Speak the truth.
Admit that you tortured them to confess.
Bailiff! Remove users of profanity!
- Remove counsel! - Admit it!
- Prosecution proceed. - Did you use torture?
- No. - Prosecution rests.
He is giving false testimony!
- Final trial will be in two days. - Your Honor!
This is perjury!
Your Honor!
Your Honor!
It's all over now!
Did you expect an apology out of him?
Am I the only one here?
What were you doing?
Praying through the trial?
You are the only attorney.
You have already done everything as you pleased.
What can I do?
You wrecked this trial yourself.
Counselor!
They accused us of tax evasion...
You should both go home.
Take a few days off. I will clean this up.
Like hell you will.
It will take you ages.
Stop crying and sweep the floors.
- Daddy! - My troublemakers.
I got a perfect score.
- Did I do well? - What's my reward?
A perfect score, of course.
You look upset. What's wrong?
I got a phone call.
A call?
What did they say?
Not much.
Just some things about Gun Woo.
Tell me.
They knew which class he is in, who his teacher is.
Then they hung up.
Dear.
Can you quit this case?
- I didn't order food. - Someone else did.
- They sent you this note, too. - Who?
I don't know.
Hey, kid!
Huh?
Have you eaten yet?
ONCHEON CATHEDRAL
I need good reporters and foreign press at tomorrow's trial.
Lieutenant Yoon visited me.
The medic from the interrogations.
A witness that will flip this case.
They won't accept him.
I will tell the judge that I plan to hold a press conference.
That's why I need the foreign press.
Help me out.
Defense requests Lieutenant Yoon Sung Du as witness.
Song.
Today is the last trial.
Stop this nonsense and move.
- He witnessed the entire event. - Fine! Dismissed!
You suddenly spring this on me on the day of the trial.
And in front of my house, to top it off?
Then I will hold a press conference to announce your dismissal.
Reporters from Mainichi, AP, and ZDF are all there.
I will state that this dismissal only proves the manipulation of this trial.
Counselor!
Song!
FINAL TRIAL
Defense calls Lieutenant Yoon to the stand.
Prosecution was not consulted. We do not accept.
The court accepts the witness.
You can't accept a witness we didn't know about.
I have my reasons. You can handle it.
Go on.
Your name and affiliation?
Yoon Sung Du.
Medical officer of the ROK Army.
Why did you work with police detectives?
I was assigned to an anti-communism investigation.
What were your duties?
First aid and emergency treatment.
They needed treatment in interrogations?
Were they tortured?
- Defense is leading the... - Yes!
They were tortured.
- Did you witness the torture? - I witnessed it.
Who tortured whom?
Inspector Cha Dong Young and his detectives.
They tortured the victims of this book club case.
Order in the court!
Through what methods were they tortured?
Assault.
Waterboarding.
Electrical torture.
Parrot perching.
Days of sleep deprivation.
All possible means.
The truth is finally revealed.
We have a clear incident, a witness, and a testimony.
This is a trial on the violation of human rights!
Not national security.
As with defendant Park Jin Woo,
all defendants of this case plead "not guilty".
Stop springing so many surprises.
I'm sorry, sir.
It all happened so quickly.
I meant that I failed, and you succeeded.
I must have let you down.
Of course not.
Prosecution may cross-examine.
I said to cross-examine!
One moment, Your Honor.
Prosecution will proceed.
Witness.
You are currently serving as a medical officer?
Yes.
Did you come here from the camp, or another location?
I am currently on leave.
They let you take vacations without permission?
Witness left his post six days ago and still has not returned.
He is currently an AWOL soldier.
That is not true! I applied for leave!
Prosecution is threatening him with irrelevant information!
Your Honor.
MP's are standing by outside to arrest the witness.
This is blackmail and slander by manipulation of his status!
Defense must have fallen for this declaration of conscience,
but he's nothing more than a corrupted AWOL soldier,
mocking the court with false testimony!
Prosecution will charge him with perjury.

- Protect the witness! - We must protect him!
Stenographer.
Strike the testimony.
Court will adjourn for military law and resume in two hours.
Strike the testimony?
The witness risked everything to reveal the truth!
Call off the recess! Bailiff!
- You can't adjourn! - Remove counsel!
What is this trial for?
What happened to our rule of law?
- You call this nonsense a trial? - Drag him out!

Citizens!
Citizens united!
Keep your ground!
Citizens united!

Memorial services are about honoring the deceased.
Essentially calm and quiet.
If such things pose a threat,
it only shows the growing fear of people using violence against it.
But you are an attorney.
Haven't you crossed the line by violating positive law?
It's because I'm an attorney.
Attorneys must lead the people in such unjust, unlawful times.
That is the true duty of an attorney.
All rise!
Be seated.
Prosecution.
State your charges.
The defendant has planned and lead various illegal gatherings,
