Original subtitles

(Kang Ha Yeon)

Please calm down...

and...

give that up.

Give what up?

Is there even anything left for me to give up on?

I do have one last thing...

that I must...

give up on.

(If you wish to swallow a demon, )

(you must swallow its horns too.)

Mr. Ham will come back, right?

He never flinched when he saw evidence for embezzlement,

but when you said you'll send his wife the evidence of his affair...

He...

tried to kill me.

Now that the knife which held him down is gone,

he will surely return.

You didn't have to come out.

Things are very hectic, but I still have my manners.

Thank you for coming.

I hope that she may rest in peace.

Really?

It's really odd how everything you say sounds like a lie.

It was a lie when I told you...

that I was disappointed to see you go when you got kicked out.

It's all in the past.

We just live in this day.

Are you telling us to forget?

No.

We must remember what we need to.

I admit it.

Back then, I wasn't in my right mind.

Don't forget.

If you wish to swallow a demon,

you must swallow its horns too.

But now, I'm a completely changed man.

I got closer to my daughter as I looked after my wife.

If I think about it, I'm so grateful...

that I had you two in my life.

You helped me become reborn.

When you say that you're born again,

does that mean you wish to return to work?

Mr. Choi.

My wife's funeral hasn't even ended.

I had no time to think about work.

I don't care if you believe me or not.

But...

I've become a different man.

Thanks.

He's still a great actor.

I don't sense any sadness in him.

He's more excited to return to work,

compared to the sadness of losing his wife.

If you wish, I can send him back before he sets a foot in the lobby.

What do you want?

Hire an experienced lawyer.

It's her third year working as a prosecutor,

and above all, she's very talented.

What's the reason?

Do you need a reason to hire talented personnel?

Okay. It's a deal.

If you stop Mr. Ham from returning,

I'll hire her immediately.

Good.

Hey, it's me.

It's about Prosecutor Kim Moon Hee whom I've mentioned before.

What's with the suit?

You told me that you'll let me take on a case by myself.

Starting from today, I'm determined to become...

the competent attorney that Kang and Ham wants me to be.

Don't you think you're getting way ahead of yourself?

Isn't that a good thing since I'm very determined?

Do you know that you have a habit...

of answering my questions with a question?

Don't you always question my answers as well?

Are you out of your mind?

You always question my answers.

There's a woman who filed a lawsuit claiming that...

a best-selling book was based on her idea.

If I talk to her, it'll seem like a threat.

But if you talk to her, it'll only be a mere collision.

I'll show you the true definition of a threat.

Show me results instead of being so cocky.

- Just focus on... - Winning.

How are you doing with your studies?

Forget about my studies.

I think we should talk about your outfit first.

You're wearing nice shoes, and you're even wearing perfume.

It smells nice.

I'll be handling a case by myself for the first time today.

Do I look weird?

No, you don't look weird. It's just a little awkward.

I decided to take your advice to heart.

I'm going to become the attorney that this firm wants.

I thought you couldn't accept what I told you.

What made you change your mind?

I feel like I was too busy worrying about stuff...

when I haven't even made something of myself yet.

So I figured I should become a real attorney first and...

"A real attorney"?

Does that mean you're currently a fake attorney?

No, that's not... Well...

That's not entirely wrong.

I know what kind of person you are.

This is all just work, so don't put too much meaning into it.

And don't get too stressed.

Okay.

Well, then. I'll be off...

to become the attorney that Kang and Ham wants.

Bye.

I have a quiz for you.

Turning oneself in is a gesture of willingly contacting...

an investigation agency to confess about his or her criminal act.

However, it is not considered valid...

if someone confesses after the crime has been discovered.

Is that true or false?

False.

You got it right. You must've studied a little.

Studying isn't the problem for me. I just have trouble taking tests.

Plus, even elementary school kids would know the answer to that.

You think too little of me.

2012D12041. It was once a precedent of the Supreme Court.

It was one of the test questions for a police employment test in 2016...

and a judicial administration employment test in 2010.

And keep in mind that a lot of people got it wrong.

Things are really hectic outside.

No, it's actually chaotic. You know that, right?

What are you talking about?

They're all talking about Mr. Ham. He'll eventually return.

- And that means... - He won't be able to come back.

I won't let him.

It's not you that I can't trust.

It's actually Kang and Ham.

Starting from evidence fabrication to the retrial...

Everyone's badmouthing you...

by saying you made the prosecution...

turn their backs on our firm.

"There's no use in being competent. Someone else has to make a mistake."

Well, that's wrong. All I care about is my own competence.

No one else in this firm is more competent than me anyway.

What about Yeon Woo?

He can't even stand a chance against me.

That's not what I meant. I'm talking about his identity.

Someone will catch onto something one day.

And that will become a really crucial weakness to you.

That's why we both need to be more careful.

Did you already know...

about Yeon Woo and Gina?

The fact that Yeon Woo keeps hovering around her?

What's more important is that she seems to like him too.

One day, they'll want to be more honest about their feelings.

And knowing Yeon Woo, he'll...

Exactly. Why did you have to...

That's more of a reason why...

we both need to be extra careful.

This is a bigger problem than what's going on outside.

Let's just focus on winning.

I'm here to threaten her.

(Lee Jeong In)

Are you looking for something?

Yes, I'm looking for "The Salvation of Time" by Kim So Yoo.

It's over there in the best sellers corner.

That's funny.

Right now, I have a copyright infringement lawsuit...

that claims your rightful ownership over that book.

Who are you?

I'm from Kang and Ham.

And our firm represents Jeongan Publishing.

It doesn't matter if your idea was stolen or if this was plagiarized.

There's no evidence to prove...

that there was an infringement of copyright.

But...

On top of that, according to the contract you signed,

all of your writings...

including every little idea...

belongs to Jeongan Publishing.

Shouldn't the court be the one to decide?

You want to go to trial?

If you go to trial, attorneys who are...

way more competent than I am will take charge of this case.

And the result will be obvious.

Not only will you have to pay for the legal fee on our side,

- but you might even... - Get sued for defamation.

If you know so well, why are you doing something so reckless?

Is it because you want money?

Don't talk like you know everything.

I don't.

But I know what will happen to your future...

if you decide to take things to court.

You should drop the suit.

Your parents must be very proud of you.

What did you say?

You're an attorney,

so you're probably rich and from a nice college.

But I'm not someone who gets scared by people like you,

so don't talk about my future when you don't know me.

You just jumped to conclusions...

thinking I'd be rich and competent just because I'm an attorney.

You don't know anything about me.

It's not like you know what kind of situation I'm in.

Your situation? That's not...

That's none of my business.

Of course, it isn't. You're speaking for the publishing company.

Why are you here?

I didn't want to come either.

Why don't you tell me?

What?

Let me hear what kind of situation you're in.

What's wrong?

Are you worried about telling your opposition's attorney?

How do you think I'd feel?

The thought of having to get scolded at work...

Let's not even talk about it.

I showed my writings...

to the CEO of the publishing company two years ago.

And I was offered a job as a writer right away.

And one of the writings...

was a synopsis that was named "The Forgiveness of Time".

And that became "The Salvation of Time"?

But there's no evidence to prove any of that.

I have a record of the email I sent including the synopsis.

But even so, you already signed...

So what exactly do you want?

The one moment...

that I thought would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity...

ended up being nothing more than an indelible scar.

I just want him to admit that he stomped on my life,

and I want him to pay for what he did.

You wanted me to pay for what I did?

That's right.

By disclosing your embezzlement...

and laying criminal charges.

But back then, Ms. Kang was against it.

She didn't wish to damage the company’s reputation.

She knows how to look at the big picture. So?

You've been away for a long time.

So disclosing what you did...

won't affect the company anymore.

It looks like you're here to tell me not to return again.

Like I told you before,

I haven't thought about going back.

Good.

I hope you mean it.

However,

your lousy threat is...

making me want to go back.

I was right.

Your strategy is excellent,

but your tactics are always lacking.

It looks like...

your daughter takes after your wife.

I'm not here to tell you not to return.

I'm warning you to not even think about it...

if you don't want your daughter to know about your dirty past.

- What? - Embezzlement and fraud?

That won't cut it.

I'm going to tell her in detail...

how you deceived your wife and daughter...

and fooled around with another woman.

Did you say your relationship with your daughter improved?

Once she finds out that that was all a lie,

how do you think...

your daughter's future will change?

- Kang Seok. - Do you think I'm lying again?

Do you think I can't do it?

Yes, I can.

If you wish to swallow a demon, you must swallow its horns too.

I'll chew and swallow things that are even worse than that.

Why are you taking it this far?

I need to protect the company.

If we let you back in,

the company will collapse.

I know it very well.

Think of it as doing a favor to everyone including your daughter.

Just open a small neighborhood law office.

I'll make sure to send you nice flowers.

Yes?

Don't worry. I took care of it.

He won't even think about coming back.

I'll take that.

It's time for you to deliver.

Hi, Geun Sik. It's me.

Hi.

You'll hire...

an associate for me?

That means...

She's a lawyer with experience,

so give her an office.

An experienced...

You said you were hiring an associate for me.

You're every Kang and Ham associate's mentor,

so she's your associate.

She has been a prosecutor for three years.

That's the only small difference.

No, it means that I still haven't been promoted.

It's a big difference.

Just wait a bit longer.

I'm sure a chance will come for you too.

You're telling me to wait again.

Who recommended...

Never mind.

The answer's obvious.

Did you get her to drop the suit?

It's ongoing.

You said you'd show her what a threat is.

Give up if you think you can't do it. I'll take care of it.

No. I'm going to take care of it.

I told you to read your opponent's desire.

That way, you can find her weakness.

What's this?

What do you mean?

She's an associate.

You've never been interested in anyone but yourself.

And you'll hire two associates in the span of just few months?

Am I not allowed to do that? I picked your associate.

What are you saying?

You've never been interested in anyone but me.

I felt like I haven't done anything for you.

So I felt bad for my friend all of a sudden.

What...

What are you up to?

What do you mean?

Forget it then.

Do you mean it?

Forget it if you don't want it.

Okay. I'll...

take it as your goodwill.

So you hired...

Prosecutor Kim.

I hired her to divert the attention Geun Sik has on you.

So don't worry about it.

You've never been interested in anyone but me.

I felt like I haven't done anything for you.

So I felt bad for my friend all of a sudden.

So I felt bad for my friend all of a sudden.

So I felt bad for my friend all of a sudden.

I felt bad for my friend.

For who?

For my friend.

What about me?

I felt bad.

Okay.

I see.

If you really want to,

then I will accept...

your apology and goodwill.

Say it again.

So I felt bad for my friend all of a sudden.

Louder!

So I felt bad for my friend all of a sudden.

Good boy.

So I felt bad for my friend all of a sudden.

So I felt bad for my friend all of a sudden.

So I felt bad for my friend all of a sudden.

(King Toast)

(Senior Associate Kim Moon Hee)

(Senior Associate Kim Moon Hee)

Excuse me.

Excuse me. I think you're in the wrong office.

- Or maybe I'm... - No.

You're in the right place.

Attorney Kim Moon Hee.

Okay.

Then who is this person sitting in my office?

That's the problem you have, Attorney Kim.

That you don't know me.

I'm Kang and Ham's Associate Mentoring Supervisor. That means...

That means...

you're mentoring junior associates with 1 to 2 years of experience.

I'm a senior associate with three years of experience.

Anyway, you're filing your nails in my office.

Filling my nails?

Do you think I'm grooming my nails?

I'm giving my nails...

and my fingers some rest.

It's not just filing nails. This is a therapeutic session.

I'm not asking what you're doing.

The problem is that you're doing that at my...

Problem? Do you have a problem?

What is it? You should report it. To whom?

To me.

It's my job to hear and solve associates' problems.

Tell me.

What's your complaint?

No complaints? Then let me tell you today's lesson.

There's no use in being competent. Someone else has to make a mistake.

Whatever you do, don't do a good job.

Then I can fire you.

Welcome to Kang and Ham.

It looks like Geun Sik has prepared a fancy welcoming ceremony.

Just ignore him.

He comes to work for that very reason.

Of course.

It's nothing. Anyway...

I think I acted my part in pretending to welcome you.

Let's carry out our real deal later when we aren't in the office.

Okay. Let's do that.

I can smell something.

But I'm not sure what this smell is.

Oh, I know what it is.

It's the smell of a brat.

You've returned to your original self.

Well, I found out that it wasn't about the appearance.

Why? You said it's the first case you took up alone.

Is something wrong?

Yes.

But you still have enough time to read a novel?

This is work.

It's a lawsuit over copyright violation.

Wait, was this plagiarized?

I really enjoyed that book.

Have you read this?

- Yes. - Then...

can you take a look at this?

What do you think?

Well, the main characters...

and the storyline are almost exactly the same.

I'd believe it if you told me this synopsis was...

a summary of this novel.

I knew it.

It must be pretty troublesome in the midst of their merger.

Their merger?

Eunho Group is in the process of taking over Jeongan Publishing.

It's a case that we've taken up.

You didn't know?

If such a problem arises in the midst of the process, then...

Then it'll definitely become a stumbling block for the merger.

The value of the publishing company will drop,

so Eunho Group might reconsider the takeover.

Thank you. You helped me out big time once again.

Then you should...

buy me dinner some time.

Good. I'll buy you dinner soon.

And I'll throw in a cup of coffee.

So are you suggesting that I stole Jeong In's idea...

and gave it to Mr. Kim?

Okay.

Even if I did so, there is absolutely no problem.

You've seen the contract.

I understand that all rights belong to the publishing company.

Then there's no legal problem.

Yes.

What I suggest is that...

since a novel written with Ms. Lee's idea became a best seller,

you can give her a bit of compensation.

Look.

Whose side are you on?

Of course, I'm working for the publishing company.

Also, I'm trying my best to protect...

the company's reputation.

What do you mean?

If we can get her to sign an agreement to...

not turn this into a problem again in return for a bit of compensation,

the reputation of Jeongan Publishing won't be damaged,

and it won't be a stumbling block to the merger with Eunho Group.

It feels like I'm getting threatened by my own lawyer.

It's not a threat. It's an advice.

The longer you drag this out, the more troublesome it'll be.

And the value of the publishing company will drop.

Then...

how much should I offer?

(Non-disclosure Agreement)

50,000 dollars.

That's a lot of money.

Of course. I doubt there is another lawyer...

who came up with a more creative settlement.

But...

do you think this is a reasonable compensation?

Pardon? What do you mean?

If you take this to court, your argument won't be accepted.

No. I can't end it like this.

Do you need more money?

What I want isn't money.

You wouldn't understand.

Are you saying that now because I'm representing the publisher?

No.

You don't know...

what really was taken away from me.

She got started with this case...

knowing that they're vulnerable because of the merger.

No. Ms. Lee said what she wanted isn't money.

What Ms. Lee wants?

Who do you work for?

Oh, of course, I...

I trusted you with this case.

But if you keep doing this,

how can I trust you with my work?

Yes.

I understand that you had to hire Prosecutor Kim...

because she found out about your weakness because of me.

- What? - I trust you too.

That's why...

I'm trying hard to become a real lawyer you want me to become.

A real lawyer?

A real lawyer is someone...

who represents and defends his client,

not the other side.

And what I want is...

for you to seize this opportunity.

If you stay focused on the wounds of your past...

Wait.

The wounds of my past?

The one moment...

that I thought would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity...

ended up being nothing more than an indelible scar.

No.

You don't know...

what really was taken away from me.

A wound from her past that I don't know about.

What? Are you mimicking me again? Look at you.

Studying isn't the problem for me. I just have trouble taking tests.

What is it? Is there another quiz?

No. I'm in an urgent need of your help.

What?

I really have nothing to say.

I'm sorry, Ms. Lee.

I know it's really tough for you,

but do you have any proof that can show that it was a rape?

Anything is fine.

Any texts he has sent, pictures, or even emails.

(Jeong In, were you shocked? Jeong In.)

(Answer me. It's driving me crazy. I was completely drunk that night.)

(No. You barely had three glasses. You were completely sober.)

(I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Jeong In.)

That was the day...

I signed a contract with them as a writer.

I was sad...

and scared.

I had no idea what to do.

Yes, I understand.

He's...

my professor and a CEO of a publishing company.

But I'm...

nothing but an aspiring writer.

Who would believe me?

It does look like it was forced,

but if you had taken this to the court,

the other side probably had a lot of arguments to make too.

It wouldn't have been easy. subtitles ripped and synced by riri13

It must've been very tough.

I was scared back then,

and I regret it now.

But...

I'm not trying to make a belated claim that he raped me.

He doesn't even have the least amount of conscience.

Not only did he not apologize,

but he even stole my idea without even telling me.

Let's report him and take on the case...

Article 31 of the Attorneys-at-Law Act.

"Restriction on Acceptance of Case".

"An attorney-at-law cannot take on a case..."

"brought by an adversary party."

- You know it's against the law. - I know.

I guess I got too ahead of myself again.

No. What's important is that you were right.

Other attorneys wouldn't have cared at all.

Then no one would've found out about what Ms. Lee went through.

I know.

But I just ended up reminding her about her scars...

when I'm not even capable of healing them.

I'm sure there will be a way.

You're competent.

Me?

I'm not competent.

You don't know me that well.

Let me ask you something.

How did you find out about Yeon Woo?

When I heard he was your associate,

I was really curious to know more about him.

I gathered all my resources...

and did everything I could to look into him.

I guess I wasn't wrong about you.

I'm impressed.

Doesn't it scare you that I'm aware...

of your weakness?

Do you seriously think I hired you...

because I was scared?

Let me ask you something first.

Why did you make such a risky decision?

So you want to know what kind of picture I'm drawing for the future.

You're good.

This is exactly why I always respected you.

Respect?

I don't need any of that.

I hired you because you're someone that our firm really needs.

Of course, I did want to thank you for what you've done.

- Thank you. - But that's where it all ends.

From this moment on,

if you ever mention anything to anyone about Yeon Woo,

not only will you fail to get what you want in the future,

but you'll also end up losing everything you've ever had.

I don't think you're in a place to threaten me right now.

I'm not threatening you. I'm just trying to come to an agreement.

It's a means to share each other's weaknesses.

("Prosecutor Kim's Brother Commits Assault in the Army")

How did you...

Everyone has someone they dearly care about.

But you'll only be able to care for him by keeping him by your side.

It'll all be useless if he ends up going to prison.

Fine, I'll accept your offer.

But you still haven't answered my question.

Because it doesn't exist.

I don't know how to draw.

No.

I'm sure it exists.

What I really want to know is...

whether or not I can be part of that big picture.

That's your question?

You're working at Kang and Ham because I hired you.

Isn't that good enough of an answer?

We once said...

we don't know much about each other.

What do you mean?

I mean...

I want to know what kind of guy you are.

I want to know your favorite food...

and your least favorite food.

I want to know what you do when you're alone.

Anyway, if I tell you that I want to know...

about...

those kinds of stuff,

will you tell me?

You're looking at me like you were taken aback by what I just said.

Then what about you?

I also what to know stuff about you.

I want to know what time you wake up.

And I worry about whether or not you eat breakfast...

You worry?

Do you worry about me, Mr. Go?

No, I don't worry about you.

Fine, I do worry about you. So what?

You're obviously thinking that I don't deserve...

to worry about you...

I think I have another rabbit to take care of.

Well, if that's the case...

- Do you... - Would you...

I mean...

Do you want to eat some instant noodles?

What?

Instant noodles?

I like instant noodles, kimchi stew, and pork belly.

And I don't really have a least favorite food.

I try to wake up at 6am every morning.

But I always wake up after 7am.

So I don't really have time to eat breakfast.

What about you?

Didn't you say your grandmother raised you...

because your parents passed away?

Yes. Her name's Ms. Cho Sook Hee.

But it's her fake name. Her real name is...

Anyway, she isn't even a celebrity, but she uses a fake name.

She knows a lot of stuff,

and she's really good at nagging.

But...

she's the reason I live. What about you?

My parents got divorced when I was in seventh grade.

I lived with my mom until I graduated college.

And right now, I'm living alone.

I guess...

you also had your share of troubles like me.

I mean,

if you think about it,

I'm not the one who got divorced,

and it didn't feel like a big deal after some time.

But I guess it was hard back then...

because I was young and had too much on my mind.

I know. It's not...

It becomes nothing after some time, right?

What?

What do you...

Yes, I guess.

No, I'm talking about Ms. Lee.

We just need to finish our job.

And Ms. Lee can just hire another attorney from another law firm.

It's an entirely different case.

And we don't need to care about a different case.

I think we'll be able to handle it.

What?

We?

We're not slaves!

We want you to guarantee our basic human rights!

- Guarantee our rights! - Guarantee our rights!

Hire more employees at the hospital!

And get rid of temporary positions!

- Get rid of temporary positions! - Get rid of temporary positions!

Let's make a happy working environment!

Let's win this negotiation!

- Let's win this negotiation! - Let's win this negotiation!

The hospital employees seem to be on a strike.

Doesn't it bother you? Do you want to go to another hospital?

Taking care of old people isn't an easy job.

People can't even take care of their own parents.

I guess the job isn't worth the effort they put in.

I also wondered about what I thought was worthwhile...

after I started working.

But it turns out, you're the only worthy person in my life.

I need to get better...

so that I can cook you warm meals.

I know.

Get better soon. That's how you can...

Just a second.

(Zigbang)

Do you know what I look at these days?

(Condos for sale)

Here it is.

Look.

I'm going to get a place...

for both of us to live in when you get discharged.

What a nice place.

Do you like it?

Goodness.

Anyway,

I'm doing really well thanks to my grandson.

Don't you have anyone you like?

There's someone.

There are lots.

Come on.

That means there isn't anyone.

There is one person.

Is there?

Then why don't you bring her over?

Well...

She doesn't know me that well yet.

Yes?

I'm going to check your blood pressure.

You just did.

Pardon?

I'm sorry. I got confused.

Don't worry. I understand.

She's the new nurse. I guess she's not used to the workload.

She's forgetful sometimes.

We have that in common. I'm like her these days.

I'm not sure if I'm doing things right.

They say people go through a lot of mistakes...

to become who they are.

Right now, things aren't going your way,

and nothing seems right. And that's how it should be.

If everything goes well from the beginning,

you won't know what's good or bad.

Gosh, you're so bright.

You should become a lawyer.

You got your smarts from me.

If I put my mind to it, I can be a lawyer or a judge...

with no problem.

You win.

So you're saying you'll stab your client in the back.

I'm a lawyer. They committed a crime.

I can't overlook it.

- Is there evidence? - Yes.

It's a screenshot of their conversation...

a day after the incident happened.

"I'm sorry. It was a mistake."

He admitted it.

The incident happened on the day she signed the contract.

Yes. It would've been hard for her to report him.

Mr. Hong must've known...

I see what you mean.

You aren't wrong about this, but...

It's violation of the Attorneys-at-Law Act.

I'm not trying to defend the opponent.

I'll advise my client to stop committing a crime.

You'd be threatening him, not advising him.

Threatening your client also violates the act.

You should threaten the opponent, not your client.

It's not a threat, but an agreement.

They'd be sharing their weaknesses.

I'm a lawyer hired for breach of copyright case.

Sexual assault is a different matter.

However you put it, you're betraying your client.

Betrayal?

To betray is to be disloyal or to be unfaithful.

Should I be loyal to someone like him...

and be faithful to him?

"Someone like him"?

Whatever he is, he's still your client.

Well, depending on the matter,

there are cases when you can't be loyal.

Fine. But on one condition.

Take care of the breach of copyright case,

and make sure the merger goes smoothly.

Okay.

- You're here. - Let's go.

- Go where? - Well...

I'll be representing the publisher,

and you'll be representing Lee Jeong In's representative.

Why me?

We started this together,

so we should end it together too.

Wait a minute.

Will this really be okay?

I'm just... I just organize documents and...

You know a lawyer at Kim and Jo.

And that lawyer is representing Lee Jeong In, right?

Yes. But...

That's good. That's all the truth we need.

You don't know what kind of person you are, do you?

You are the one...

who helped me climb up the stairs...

when I couldn't even step forward.

Did I?

And this isn't a test. This is the real deal.

So there's no reason to be nervous.

Let's go.

Let's get going.

Ms. Lee Jeong In.

This is a document...

saying that you withdraw the breach of copyright suit.

(Withdrawal of Litigation)

Pardon?

In order for copyright infringement to be established,

the copyright must first be recognized.

Unfortunately in your case,

it's a list of simple ideas without distinct creativity.

So it can't be protected by copyright.

The settlement is still at 50,000 dollars.

Mr. Hong.

This is an agreement to acknowledge...

that you used Ms. Lee's idea and to accept her...

as the original creator...

on a condition that she withdraws the lawsuit.

What? Whose attorney are you?

I can't believe this. You're making me angry.

Angry?

You're angry?

You pawned on her dream to fulfill your desire,

and you're angry?

Mr. Hong Jae Deok.

On March 19, 2016,

you dragged Ms. Lee Jeong In, who was intoxicated,

to a hotel...

and raped her, did you not?

What are you...

On the next day, you admitted your fault...

and apologized to her.

- Well, I... - Additionally,

if you used your power as a CEO,

under Article 303, Section 1,

you can be charged for adultery.

Mr. Hong.

Ms. Lee's representative, Kim and Jo,

could report you to the police...

and disclose this to the media.

Jeong In.

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

You not only took away her life,

but also her future.

Apology is just a beginning.

I hope you turn yourself in after the merger.

If I turn myself in now,

could you forgive me?

Not my forgiveness,

but you'll need your own forgiveness.

Turning oneself in is a gesture of willingly contacting...

an investigation agency to confess...

about his or her criminal act.

It is still considered valid...

if someone confesses after the crime has been discovered.

I'm sorry, Jeong In.

I'm really sorry.

Thank you.

No worries.

From now on, write your novels...

and make sure to sign good contracts.

And...

Yes. I understand your situation.

I'll take care of it from here.

Thank you, Attorney Kim.

I'm not a lawyer.

Yes, you were the best lawyer to me.

I feel bad.

It's too bad we can't help her through it all.

This is it for us.

You were really great back there.

You'll need to work on your temper though.

I get it now.

Get what?

I can see now that I was the one getting help from you.

I get it.

What?

You could've done this all by yourself from the beginning.

But you called me here...

to help me out, right?

Would I have done so much?

I'm not that big of a genius.

Gosh.

You are a genius.

He's completely playing with my heart.

He might end up staying in here for good.

Wait for me.

(Agreement)

Man, you should've seen me.

- Just now, I... - Are you crazy?

You turned the case into something that we can't get paid for.

How can you laugh?

- What? - How can we ask for our fee...

after making them pay her out and list her name?

Oh, it's...

You're right.

We're going to stop representing Mr. Hong...

as soon as the merger ends.

What's this?

Your commission.

You said you wanted to become a lawyer that I want you to be.

Stop ruining my reputation...

by wearing that broken watch.

I told you that this has a meaning.

I didn't like the result, but I got that to remember your first case.

I guess I made a mistake. Give it back.

No.

I don't need to feel bad if this is my commission.

And I wasn't just arrogant.

I did very well, so I deserve this too.

I like the number, but why is it a 10 of hearts?

You claimed to have done it alone,

but you actually did it with your girlfriend.

My girlfriend?

Ms. Kim.

Why did you bring her into this?

How did you know?

No matter how hard you try,

I can see everything that you do. You didn't know?

Office romance is prohibited in our office.

Goodness.

You are Mr. Choi, right? Not Mr. Chae.

If anything, Geun Sik is right about that.

It's such an old-fashioned rule...

that should've been eradicated long ago.

I...

Wait, why do you suggest that we're dating?

- You aren't? - Yes.

If so, that's good.

Why are you all worked up?

Mr. Choi.

This is bad.

Everyone.

I'm back.

I know a few of you...

did not wish to see me back here.

But...

I, Ham Gi Taek,

have returned to Kang and Ham.

(Suits "Korea")

What's Mr. Ham like?

If he has returned,

I'm sure he isn't here to become the second-in-command.

Then you can take the responsibility and resign.

They're using a strike as their weapon.

And you just want to buy time?

He's a tough opponent. This won't be easy.

Now that he threw a jab at me,

I'll return it with a hook.

He's here for revenge.

Did you have to go so far as to fool a young associate...

to ruin this case?
