Original subtitles

Do you agree with the charges?

Does she also agree with them?

How many times have you met her?

I'll make myself clear.

To increase...

the budget, I have never accepted money...

or dealt with sexual favours.

What's been said in the media...

was my personal mistake.

I apologise to my family.

However,

I have never...

abused my authority.

Truth will be revealed when the investigation is finished.

Thank you.

- I have a question. - Regarding the investigation...

Sir.

Don't ever bring me to a place like this.

I'm sorry.

It was necessary to show that we have a good relationship.

I'll end things. This won't ever happen again.

Sir, it's a summary of what happened.

Thank you.

I'll be at the prosecutors' office.

Yes, Sir. It just finished.

Yes.

I'm sorry. I didn't take care of it well.

I'm sorry.

(3 days ago)

You called right on time. Dinner is ready.

All I have to do is serve rice.

- Where are you? - Hye Gyeong.

Don't open the door to anyone. Stay home, okay?

- Okay? - Is someone coming home?

Hye Gyeong.

Don't pick up calls either. Turn off your phone after this call.

- All right? - What's going on?

Honey.

There are reporters outside. Are they here because of you?

Did you take on a bad case?

You trust me, right?

Of course.

Then do as I say.

I'll explain everything once I get there, okay?

(Hye Gyeong, are you watching the TV?)

Open the door! We're from the prosecution!

I have a search warrant. Open the door.

Open the door!

Hye Gyeong.

Give me one more chance.

I made a mistake,

but I'm not...

a coward.

You know what to do.

(Attorney Suspected of Receiving Sexual Favours)

I'll explain everything.

The people who've been investigating me did this.

They've trapped me.

How can you say that to me?

It was a mistake.

Just once.

It was a mistake of my life.

You believe me, right?

You'll believe me, right?

If you...

believe in me once more...

Why would I?

(The Good Wife)

(8 months later)

Pardon me.

I heard there was a firm meeting at 10.

- Has it been cancelled? - Go upstairs.

The firm meeting takes place there.

Thank you.

That's how I meet her, isn't it?

The reason why China Group hired us as their representative...

is because we were never pretentious.

It's because they believe that...

we'd make the merger possible no matter what.

It's because we do anything...

to win.

This is a chance for all of us.

It's a chance to expand the office...

and for you to earn a bonus.

If you need personal time...

or want to follow legal work hours,

then you should quit right away.

Many people have lined up for this job.

People who are late to work or get off work on time...

don't exist at our law firm.

I'm sorry.

I thought the meeting was downstairs.

Come in without looking at people.

All right. Do you understand what I mean?

While the main lawyers take on the merger case,

new lawyers will take on other cases that are in procession.

Joon Ho, are you okay with a case regarding division of inheritance?

Of course.

Hye Gyeong.

Yes?

Please take on a pro bono case.

Okay.

Let's get started then.

- I'm sorry. - I'm sorry.

- I thought the meeting was... - The case has been...

Thank you. No one was hiring me as I haven't worked for 15 years.

Don't say that. I'm the one to thank.

It's difficult to find good lawyers these days.

Welcome back, Lawyer Kim Hye Gyeong.

Thank you.

Come, I'll explain.

What kind of case will I be in charge of?

It's a murder case. Will you be all right?

- Murder? - Yes.

It was Myeong hee's case as a formal legal support.

She should have wrapped it up herself.

Mother, I'm busy right now. I'll call you later.

- That was a funny ringtone. - It was my mother-in-law.

- About that case... - Yes.

Here's some candy for you.

Lawyer Lee.

What?

This is Lawyer Kim Hye Gyeong who will be working with us.

- This is... - Hello.

I'm David Lee. It's nice to meet you.

Hello, it's nice to meet you.

How is your divorce coming?

He's an expert in divorce.

However, this isn't the right time to talk about...

It's the right time.

You may be deprived of your child's custody by now.

The problem is stealing Tae Joon's...

hidden wealth. Approximately, how much is it?

Don't worry. I'll keep it a secret.

I have no idea.

There's a way to find out.

Ask me anything you'd like to know.

I give discount to coworkers.

Since you're special,

here's red ginseng candy.

I'll give you a wink on top of that.

Right, I'm in "Faust" at a small theatre nearby.

Come see it if you have time.

Here's some candy for you too.

I want to fire him,

but he's good at earning money.

- About that case... - Hye Gyeong.

- Yes? - I'd like to talk to you.

I'll explain about the case.

I'm explaining it now.

It was my case. I know more about it than you.

Okay then.

- Hye Gyeong, come this way. - Okay.

Hye Gyeong, make eye contact when you say hello to her.

She judges people based on the way they look.

Okay.

Hye Gyeong.

You're not of the age to be hired as a new lawyer,

but Joong Won strongly recommended you.

He said you're the most competent lawyer he knows.

I thought you two were of the same age, but I guess not.

He's an older colleague, but we were trained during the same year.

We became friends as we've gotten closer.

I'll work hard so that I won't let you down.

You have no work experience after being trained.

You applied for your license as a lawyer recently.

Is there a reason why you haven't worked as a lawyer?

I got married right after I finished my training.

I was quite tired from studying a lot,

so I thought I'd make a better housewife then.

To be honest, I was against hiring you.

You're too old to learn,

and you also have issues with your husband.

- I... - Work harder...

than other people.

To be accepted as a lawyer,

the only way is to prove yourself.

Okay.

Come and sit here.

Let's move on to the case.

I provide free legal support to a few civic organisations.

It's a case from one with the most issues with violence.

(Seyang Provincial Police)

That's Kim In Young.

She was arrested on site for killing her husband, Park Dong Hyun.

Argue that it was manslaughter...

due to domestic violence and say it was under extenuating circumstance.

Did Kim In Young admit that she killed him?

No, she says she didn't kill anyone...

despite the evidence.

You should convince her.

Go to the court by 2pm.

There's a request of Kim In Young's arrest warrant.

Today? I don't have enough time.

It's up to you to postpone it.

Her child will be taken away, but what else can you do?

I'll quickly look over the case.

That's a good choice.

Get more details from the examiner.

She'll be helpful since she's competent.

Okay.

Thank you.

Okay. Bye.

You didn't discourage her when she just started working, right?

I told her to work hard since you hired her against the odds.

I told her to prove herself.

First, I didn't hire her against the odds.

We came to an agreement and hired one lawyer each.

I hired someone who's good from an objective standpoint.

However, you hired someone old.

Second, Hye Gyeong is the only lawyer I approve of.

She was considered a genius during training.

A genius?

Work isn't the same as in training.

You know you can lose your mind on the first day at court.

Then why did you give her a murder case?

Did you not mean to play fair?

She started late.

She needs to go through difficulties for her to learn.

That's unless you're trying to protect your ex-girlfriend.

Gosh.

You must not have believed that I hired her based on competency.

She was just a friend more than a decade ago.

Anyway, we decide after six months.

Keep your eyes on her until then...

to find out what kind of lawyer Hye Gyeong is.

Gosh, I'm sorry.

This is your office.

I'm the examiner Kim Dan.

Thank you for helping me before, Dan.

We've met before.

Don't you remember me?

Really? Where have we met?

In the inspecting room.

I've worked at the prosecutor's office several years.

Really? Did you transfer here?

No, I was fired by your husband.

Oh, I see.

I'm not on good terms with him either.

That's why I said it.

How much do you know about the case?

The client is Kim In Young.

She was arrested for murdering her husband.

She's claiming that she's innocent.

She claims that a thief has done it.

The thief attacked her husband after hiding in the parking lot.

What does the prosecutors say?

They think she's lying.

Only her fingerprints were found on the knife at the crime scene.

Does she have a motive for murder?

Yes, her husband cheated on her.

As soon as the statute on adultery was struck down,

her husband left home and moved in with his mistress.

He argued with In Young...

from time to time regarding child custody and division of wealth.

On the day of his death, he was with In Young at her parking lot.

The husband died after they had a fight.

When the ambulance arrived, In Young was covered with blood.

She claims it was because she tried to stop his bleeding.

That's how her fingerprints got on the knife.

(Seyang Provincial Court Room 301, Criminal Court)

What's wrong?

I'm a little nervous.

It's been 15 years since I've finished my training.

That's when I graduated from elementary school.

Gosh.

It gives me strength to hear that.

You can do it.

Look at that.

Do you remember me?

I'm Park Do Sub, a colleague of Tae Joon.

It's nice to see you.

I don't know why Tae Joon did that.

I respected him a lot.

He brought shame to the organisation and ruined his family's reputation.

What brings you here?

I'm here for an arrest warrant. I work at a law firm.

That's right. You've studied law.

Tae Joon used to boast all the time.

He said you were more talented than him.

He felt bad that you quit and were doing housework.

I'm going to try and do my best from now on.

This is too bad.

This case is a given.

You won't get a chance to show off your ability.

But then again,

you should still try hard. Who knows, right?

All rise, please.

The defendant Lee Tae Joon is sentenced to three years in prison.

We'll now start the trial for case number 20164085...

on defendant Kim In Young's bail hearing.

Where is lawyer Seo Myeong Hee?

Something has come up.

I'll be your lawyer from now on.

I'm Kim Hye Gyeong.

Did you guys switch lawyers because I was being difficult?

No, that's not what happened.

Did you...

- switch lawyers? - Yes, Judge.

Lawyer Seo Myeong Hee couldn't be here today.

You applied for an extension for bail.

Are you trying to kill time...

until your defendant dies of old age in jail?

The thing is... I'm sorry.

I just took her place today, so I do not have much information.

I'll speak to the defendant to set up another time.

After listening to you,

I'm leaning towards disapproving the bail.

That will make you rush, right?

No, Judge.

I don't mean to be tardy.

There's a petition I'd like to submit.

Are you sure you're a lawyer?

Lawyer.

Do you know how many trials I have today?

This can't be your first day. Why are you so out of it?

Actually, it is her first day.

Thanks to her husband, Lee Tae Joon,

she started working at a late age.

I'm submitting an additional petition from her relatives.

Are you saying there isn't anyone to take care of the child?

No. Her parents passed away,

and her relatives can't afford to take the child in.

Under the presumption of innocence, she's currently innocent.

Please consider the shock the child and Ms Kim would face...

if the child was sent to care for something Ms Kim didn't do.

I hope Your Honour would take that into consideration.

Your Honour. The defendant murdered her husband.

This bail won't do any benefit to the child.

She'll end up destroying evidence or fleeing.

Both of you, come up to the judges' bench, please.

Lawyer Kim.

Is what Attorney Park said true?

No, Sir. The defendant is a victim of domestic abuse.

She never intended on...

No, not that.

Are you really Tae Joon's wife?

Yes, but...

what does that have to do with this?

It's true...

that I have a grudge against him.

But I didn't let that affect the result of my decision.

Your husband was punished for his crimes.

Do you understand?

Yes, Your Honour. I understand.

However, the sentence hasn't been confirmed yet.

No.

Not yet.

Also, Attorney Park.

Yes.

You looked down on me.

Did you think I'd go crazy if you mentioned his name?

That wasn't what I had in mind.

Don't ever try to play tricks.

If you do, you'll get as upset as me next time.

- Lawyer Kim. - Yes.

Promise me that you won't ever postpone...

the trial nor have her lawyers get switched.

I don't want to waste my time on this case any more.

Yes. I will defend her until the end.

Okay, you can go.

The defendant Kim In Young's bail has been...

approved.

You will be limited to travel between your apartment,

the lawyer's office and the child's daycare.

The final hearing will be next Monday.

Any objections?

The video that was released through the media...

was a mistake from my personal life.

Welcome back.

I told you not to watch this.

It's always on television whenever I turn it on.

Watch a drama instead. Or you could study.

What is Seo Yeon doing?

She's crying in her room.

What?

Sweetie. Are you not going to welcome me home?

No?

Mum.

Can I transfer to a different school?

You just transferred here today.

That woman Dad met...

I heard she was a teenager. Is that true?

No.

Who told you that?

All the guys at school are saying it.

The rumour is all over the school.

Don't mind them and just do what you have to do.

If you stop reacting, they'll stop bothering you.

How can I not react? It's my dad.

Aren't you embarrassed about what happened to Dad?

Seo Yeon. This is something he should be embarrassed about.

Not us.

How can you do that?

(Correction and Edification)

Right, I forgot that you were a lawyer.

I thought it was my lawyer.

Sorry I didn't come earlier.

I've been busy.

You should visit me like this next time, too.

It's better here than the visiting room.

There's something I need your help with.

The prices dropped now that I'm trying to sell it.

We won't have much left after paying for your judicial costs.

You're right.

Sign there as well.

How are the kids?

Yes. They're good. They like the new school.

The new place is pretty big.

It has better air there, too.

(Application for Divorce)

Hye Gyeong.

We can turn it around during the appeal.

If you can wait...

Good luck.

- Hye Gyeong, I... - I know.

The case was made up and you fell into the trap.

You did it all for me.

I don't care any more.

You're just a jerk to me.

I better go.

Congratulations.

For what?

On the bail with your first case.

I knew you'd make it.

How did you know that?

I still have friends outside.

Who?

The friends who did you sexual favours for money?

I heard that case is a little strange. Did you know?

There's a rumour...

that the police deleted their investigation files.

Delete what files?

Probably evidence they can't have going to the court. I think...

Don't bother telling me.

Did you think I'd appreciate it if you told me this?

I only want to be helpful to you. That's it.

Lee Tae Joon.

The reason why I came here...

is because nothing is under my name.

Our place, the car and even the newspaper subscription...

are under your name.

We lived together for 15 years,

but the only thing under my name is my phone.

Just sign the divorce papers later.

Hye Gyeong.

I'll be good to you. I promise.

I'll repent for what I've done until you forgive me.

Everything will go back to the way it was.

I'll make it happen. subtitles ripped and synced by riri13

Tae Joon.

We can never go back to how it was.

I'm not lying.

I didn't kill anyone.

That day,

he came to see me at work.

He said he's done wrong...

and wanted to go back to the way things were.

Why would I do such a thing to someone...

who was asking for forgiveness?

What happened after you met him?

He wanted to see our daughter,

so we went to my house.

With a knife,

he kept stabbing my husband.

I was so scared...

that I couldn't move.

This is the police. What's going on?

Hello?

Please say something.

Hello?

Honey! Is anyone there?

A person is dying!

Can you hear me?

- Mum, are you crying? - Yes?

No, I'm not crying.

Something got inside my eye.

Dan.

I'll talk to her.

Can you go outside with her daughter?

Okay.

Se Bi, do you want to get something delicious with me?

Let's bring some to your mum.

In Young.

The murder took place here.

There were two directions to exit.

You said the murderer ran away this way.

- Yes. - There's one surveillance camera...

over here.

No one passed by around that time.

Not even one person.

Are you mistaken about the direction?

Do you also think...

that I killed my husband?

Did you?

I did hate him but...

not enough to kill him.

I wouldn't do that.

(Investigation Report)

There's a rumour...

that the police deleted their investigation files.

Delete what files?

Probably evidence they can't have going to the court.

(A List of Evidentiary Items)

Look. If the murderer ran away this way,

he must have been caught on camera.

In Young is lying.

What if the prosecutors hid the evidence?

What do you mean?

What if they were convinced...

that In Young was guilty and omitted the evidence?

I'm asking what you'd do.

Are you planning to say she's innocent when the trial is so soon?

Even if extenuating circumstances are claimed, she'll serve two years.

I understand that you pity her, but if you get...

emotional about your client, you won't last in this business.

In Young could be the culprit.

It's highly likely.

However, lawyers should trust and stand up for their client.

Shouldn't we do our best until the end?

Where are you going?

Dan.

What are you doing right now?

You said we should do our best.

To obtain the surveillance camera recording,

we should get ready.

Sir, they could have made a mistake regarding date and time.

After checking just that, we'll leave right away.

Please.

Goodness.

Look.

How can they make a mistake when everything's shown on screen?

You're talking nonsense.

I have the eagle's eye.

May I take a look on the day of the crime?

My boss told me to make sure to look at it.

You're so persistent.

Look here.

Do you see the security guard?

I'm on patrol every hour.

But I didn't see anyone suspicious.

Ma'am, have you lost your mind?

Ma'am, are you deaf?

Don't you see us talking?

Okay, I'll be done soon.

Don't wipe the floor so carelessly. Wipe hard as if...

you're wiping my face. I've told you many times.

Pardon me.

May I get a copy of the recording?

Why?

- It's because... - Well,

I can't let you due to our regulations.

You need to bring a warrant.

Sir, could you please make it possible?

Gosh, it's great to hear that accent.

Where are you from?

Sir, my work is very difficult.

Can't you help me?

All right.

Have a drink.

Thank you.

The baby is beautiful.

She's my granddaughter.

I live for her.

Ma'am, Ma'am.

Where's the key?

Did you throw it away?

- I told you not to throw away... - Does he usually talk that way?

He's so lazy.

Half of the day, all he does is watch erotic stuff online.

When he's on night shift, he doesn't move an inch.

He starts working only when I wake him up.

That's how men are.

What did you talk about with the cleaning lady?

I gave her a drink because she seemed to work hard.

You're very empathetic.

Thank you for helping me.

I wouldn't have gotten it on my own.

Thank goodness he happened to be from your hometown.

I'm from Seoul.

Give it to me. I'll carry it for you.

No, I'll do it.

What's the big deal when we're both new hires?

I'm Lee Joon Ho.

Thank you. I'm Kim Hye Gyeong...

Lawyer Kim Hye Gyeong.

I know you well. I've seen you on the news.

I heard you're back to work after being a housewife.

You look very young.

I am young.

I married early.

I see.

Then I wasn't wrong.

You're working on a pro bono case, right?

I used to work at a legal aid corporation.

I worked on many pro bono cases.

I'm working on division of assets now that I'm at a law firm.

It's not rewarding.

I'm jealous of you.

Do you want to switch?

I'd like to,

but we can't switch since our bosses makes the decision.

Let's fight fair and square so the one who's more competent wins.

What do you mean by winning?

What I mean is...

we should work hard.

Here you go.

Take care.

Hye Gyeong, are you getting off work?

Yes.

Don't make things complicated.

Accept that she's guilty and claim extenuating circumstances.

But...

It's President Seo's plans for the pleadings.

If you change them and something goes wrong,

it'll be your responsibility.

Do you want to get on her bad side from the start?

The other new hire...

said he wants to fight with me fair and square.

Is it related to what you said?

Actually, there's only one position that's open.

We were supposed to hire him,

but I didn't want to lose you so I convinced her that...

after watching you for six months, we should pick the better one.

Are the two of us competing?

Competing would be an overstatement.

How can you lose to someone that just got out of law school?

You even beat me before.

You'll win for sure.

That's why I should admit In Young's guilt...

under mitigating circumstances?

I'm telling you to be reasonable. That's the safer route...

for both your client and yourself.

All right.

I'll consider it.

By the way,

I lived all my life within the safety lines.

I don't want to live like that any more.

There's something we should decide on before the hearing.

It's a very important decision.

I'm sorry.

I was looking up your name online.

I've gotten quite famous.

I was just a housewife until recently.

Are you planning to get a divorce?

I went to see him in prison with the divorce papers,

but when I saw him in the uniform,

I couldn't bear to take it out.

I didn't think I felt sorry for him.

It's weird, isn't it?

No. Not at all.

What about you? Why didn't you get a divorce?

All day,

all I think about is the same thing.

"Can I really stand through it until the end?"

"What will happen to my daughter..."

"if I go to jail?"

In Young.

You should only think about what's in front of you.

I know it's hard, but wear your best clothes,

put on some makeup and treat yourself to a nice meal.

Think of your best self.

No one cares about others. They're just interested, that's all.

That's why you must put on a strong mask.

You still have your child and your pride.

Will that help?

No. You just get used to it. And then, you can stand it.

Mum.

Are you awake?

Say hello.

Hello.

The important decision you're talking about...

must be regarding our defence, right?

Yes.

I'll leave my decision to you.

I trust you.

Defendant.

Do you admit to the charges?

We do not.

I'd like to plea for the defendant's innocence.

Also, we request the evidence...

that was failed to hand in from their investigation.

There were more than a million items at the scene of the crime.

How can we hold a trial if we included every single one of them?

(A List of Evidentiary Items)

They're evidence that doesn't have much to do with the charge.

That's not for the attorney to decide.

That's under the lawyer's jurisdiction.

In article 266 section 3 of the Criminal Procedure Code says...

that I have every right...

to look at all the evidence found at the scene of the crime.

Your Honour.

The lawyer's husband is Lee Tae Joon,

a man that was charged for accepting bribery.

It was his specialty to get rid of evidence,

- not mine. - So...

what was on the page after this one?

Whatever it was, it has nothing to do with this case.

I'm certain that it's evidence favourable for the defendant.

All right.

I'll give you 48 hours.

Bring me the missing page.

I'll decide if it should be added to this evidence list or not.

Okay?

You picked up a bad habit from Tae Joon.

He often didn't watch whom he was up against.

By the way,

is it going to be all right for a newbie to be so brave?

I'll just win.

All I have to do is be responsible for my client.

When did you graduate from the Judicial Training Institute?

I'm the 39th graduate.

Gosh. You started studying late, didn't you?

Good luck. You should work hard if you ever want to become someone.

Was my order too hard for you to understand?

I told you to admit guilty and push for self-defence.

I'm sorry.

But Ms Kim also pleaded her innocence,

and it bothered me that the prosecutor had hidden evidence.

So...

I changed our strategy according to my judgement.

Was it also your judgement...

not to inform me?

You can go.

It's all your fault.

What is?

Hye Gyeong found that there was missing evidence.

Shouldn't you be rewarding the newbie...

for working so hard?

I wonder who told her about the missing evidence.

Now, the prosecutors are going to be on bad terms with us.

So? Are you scared?

No. It's just annoying.

What's the problem then?

Thanks to her, we might have a chance at winning.

Then we should fight and win as lawyers.

That's what we'll do.

But not Hye Gyeong.

I can't let go of someone who went back on my word that easily.

What will you do then?

I'll have to change lawyers...

to someone who will listen to me.

Hello?

It was dog hair.

What was?

The missing evidence.

It was on the victim's clothes.

Yes. I'll be right over.

Come on in.

The victim owned a Shih Tzu,

so prosecution thought the hair belonged to the dog.

But the tests revealed that it was that of a Greyhound.

It's not a common pet in Korea.

On top of that, there was something else on the fur.

Carprofen. It's a medication used on canines for their joint problems.

How did you find this out?

The prosecutor didn't submit the evidence list yet.

There's a man that I know from...

the National Forensic Service.

I'm working.

You can take some fruit from the kitchen.

Should we talk tomorrow?

No, it's okay.

Is this...

the serial number for the medication?

No, it's the guy's phone number.

He promised to meet once.

Does that mean we need to find a big dog with arthritis?

I'm not sure. I think our strategy might change again.

You got cut from the case.

They'll put in someone new in your place.

Lawyer Lee Joon Ho?

Yes.

Since when?

Starting next week.

You only have one more trial left.

Take care.

What are you two doing?

Give it to me. Don't look at that.

There are worse pictures than that all over the internet.

They're all the same.

Did she kill her husband for cheating?

No, someone else killed him.

She should've just gotten a divorce.

Mum. You're not getting a divorce, are you?

Not yet.

Then are you getting one later?

I found it.

This is the video on the day of the incident at 12:03am.

That's the witness, right?

Yes.

Do you go on rounds every hour?

Yes.

Did you run into anyone at that time?

A murderer or a child. Whomever.

No, I didn't see anyone.

That'll be all, Your Honour.

Lawyer Kim, would you like to cross-examine?

Yes.

Is it going well?

The highlight starts now.

The video in the middle took place on the 15th, the date of the crime.

The one on the left took place the day before, on the 14th.

The one on the right took place on the 16th, the day after the crime.

Do you see the dates on the screens?

Yes, I do.

Like what was testified at 12:03am on the day of the crime,

the witness was on patrol.

On the day before and after the crime,

you look the same while you're on patrol.

Yes, it's my work after all.

Let's fast forward the video.

This is at 12:45am on the day of the crime.

Look...

over here.

What do you see?

Is it a plastic bag?

Yes, it is.

A plastic bag is flying due to the wind.

Objection, Your Honour. This isn't related to the case.

Objection overruled. Please proceed.

Shall we look at the videos before and after the day of the crime?

What do you see?

I'm not sure.

I'm sure you do.

Every night at the witness' factory,

there could be a plastic bag that appears every 45 minutes,

or someone could have made duplicates of the recording.

I didn't do it intentionally.

I... Well...

You didn't intentionally lie to the police, did you?

No, I would never do that. Your Honour, I definitely didn't.

It must have been hard to be on patrol that often.

That's why you thought of copying the video of the patrol.

Am I correct?

I'm sorry.

So the recording on the day of the crime doesn't exist.

And the witness didn't have a chance to see anyone suspicious.

No.

That's all, Your Honour.

Thank you.

Do you want to hear the good news or the bad news first?

Bad news. No, good news.

Until this case is closed, you'll be the lawyer in charge.

What's the bad news?

Kim In Young is still the most convincing suspect.

Her fingerprints were found on the knife.

She also has a definite motive.

It doesn't seem like a thief would have done it.

What if it was a third party who wanted to take revenge?

Who would it be?

They'll keep suspecting her unless there's another suspect.

I wish the murderer would just appear.

- What is it? - I just remembered...

the mock trials we had.

We also spent the whole night then.

"We're in trouble."

"We need a culprit."

"You should confess."

Congratulations on being in charge of the case until the end.

Thank you, Joon Ho. Aren't you getting off work?

I like to win at work.

I reviewed all night thinking that I'd take over your case.

It's unfortunate.

Please win the case for me.

I thought...

he was just an arrogant son from a rich family,

but he's quite determined.

He works about 14 hours a day.

He must not have a personal life.

Okay.

I can't work 14 hours a day,

but I'll work hard.

I don't like people who only work hard.

I like those who work well.

I should get going. I have an appointment tomorrow morning.

Okay. Wait.

The late Park Dong Hyun...

told In Young that he wanted to go back to the way things were.

How would've his mistress felt if she knew that?

She'd feel terrible.

Is she on the witness list?

Yes.

Why don't you push her?

A lawyer should win.

Okay.

These are the insurance documents.

This is the recording of his employment.

Will it work?

I'll have to make it work.

Head Attorney Choi Sang Il would like to see you.

It's my first time seeing you after what happened to Tae Joon.

Yes, that's right.

Accept that Kim In Young is guilty.

I'll ask for the minimum sentence.

How does two years sound?

Why do you suggest that all of a sudden?

Everyone's watching you closely.

Me? Why?

Wasn't it Tae Joon...

who told you about the omitted evidence?

He was good at pretending to be just...

while betraying people based on their weaknesses.

When Tae Joon's rumour started to spread,

many people became scared.

Are you saying you'll let go of a minor murder case?

I'm giving you a chance to live a new life.

You're still young.

It'd be a waste to see your life go down the drain with Tae Joon's.

Soon, you'll be telling me to betray him while I'm still young.

I welcome any information you'd like to give us.

Issues regarding divorce and your children's education...

probably aren't your only concerns.

The hardest day for me...

was when you leaked the video...

and my children saw it.

It was that day.

Who told you I was the one who leaked it?

Head Attorney Choi.

I wasn't an attorney for 15 years. I'm a lawyer.

I'm well aware of how prosecution works.

Who else would have leaked it?

You should be cursing at Tae Joon, not me.

Yes, I curse at him.

I'm the one going through a divorce.

However, it isn't because of your threats.

You still have a lot of feelings for Tae Joon.

Your mentioning my husband makes me believe...

that you don't know how to upset a woman.

See you in court.

You were living with the late Dong Hyun.

You haven't registered your marriage yet, right?

Right.

It was because the defendant wouldn't divorce him.

What if the deceased had broken up with you...

to get back together with the defendant?

Objection, Your Honour.

Objection sustained.

I'll ask again.

If you had broken up for some reason,

you wouldn't get any of his assets...

since you weren't legally married.

That still remains to be true.

I didn't get any of his money after he died.

Not even from his insurance?

Did you not receive any money from his insurance?

He did have a life insurance under my name.

How much was it worth?

Objection, Your Honour. The lawyer is making the issue unclear.

It isn't relevant to determining if the defendant's guilty.

Objection overruled.

I also want to know how much it's worth. Please answer.

I believe it's about 300,000 dollars.

Have you heard of Carprofen?

No, I've never heard of it.

It's also my first time hearing about it.

It's a type of lotion.

It's a lotion used to treat dogs who have muscular and joint pains.

On the victim's clothes,

we found that lotion and the fur of a Greyhound.

Your brother has a dog, right?

What's the dog's breed?

Objection, Your Honour.

Objection overruled.

Witness, please answer.

He has a Greyhound.

I looked up your brother's SNS.

He has an old dog.

Yes, I think so.

On the day of the crime, you were having dinner with your friends.

Since you had a definite alibi,

the police didn't interrogate you.

However, where was your brother when the crime took place?

My brother...

That's all, Your Honour.

Before the ruling of your first case,

you must take a full shot for you to win the case.

I'm being serious. Everyone follows that rule.

Okay.

Aren't you too gullible for a lawyer?

Will I be able to win?

If I knew the answer, I'd be a lawyer myself.

What about for your husband's case?

Did you think you'd win?

No, I knew I'd lose.

What I don't understand is...

why you're still with him.

I'd have left him already with a big sum of the alimony.

There was no alimony I could claim. He had too much loans.

He's poor.

I think about this a lot every day.

"Shouldn't I end things with him and begin a new life?"

First,

I want to start my life as a lawyer.

Although I'm not sure if I can pull it off.

What's your plan?

Are you going to forgive your husband?

No, I won't.

I just won't rush it. I'll see and study him for a while.

See what kind of man he really is...

and what kind of life I've lead.

My thoughts will automatically sort itself out,

and I'd be able to move on.

Hello?

Come on in.

According to the police investigation,

they found out that a truck...

that belongs to her brother...

was parked in the area on the day of the incident.

Also,

it's true that they also got prescription...

for Carprofen for his Greyhound.

With that, Attorney Park Do Sub...

admitted that there needs to be a corroborative investigation.

Therefore, they've decided to lift the charge...

on defendant Kim In Young.

I'm glad you made that decision, Do Sub.

Yes!

Lawyer Kim.

Everything worked out. All of it.

I'm happy for you.

You can go home with your mum now.

Why are you doing this to me?

Just as we suspected,

your wife won the case.

She found clear evidence amongst other clues.

She succeeded in getting them to withdraw the charge.

What about Head Attorney Choi?

He's looking for the person who tipped us off.

He's greedy, but dumb.

How is the law firm Hye Gyeong's at?

Is it well known?

It's was founded by Seo Jae Moon who was a famous civil rights lawyer.

Now, his son and daughter are running the firm together.

His son, Seo Joong Won,

is notorious for doing anything and everything to win cases.

He went to the same university and training institute with your wife.

Do you know him?

I've seen him a few times.

Can you find out more about him?

I should know whom my wife works for.

All right.

You're still here?

Yes.

It's my first case, so there's so much to organise.

I brought this just in case, but I'm glad I did.

Ta-da.

It's a small bonus to you from the firm.

It's a tradition to drink champagne when one wins the first case.

- Really? - Of course.

You were amazing.

Thank you.

If you're done, shall we drink?

Okay. Gosh.

It must be my kids.

I told them I'd be home early.

Really?

Right. You should go to your kids.

Go home safely.

We'll drink this another time.

Hye Gyeong.

Congratulations.

You were really awesome.

It's me.

Sorry to call you so late.

There's something I wanted to tell you as soon as possible.

My appeal date has been set.

I'm going to fight...

as hard as I can.

Honey?

I'm listening.

The only one...

I have to apologise to...

is you. I'm sorry.

Also,

congratulations on your win.

(Divorce Application)

(Lee Tae Joon, Kim Hye Gyeong)

(The Good Wife)

Can you believe that she was raped by a rich heir at a club?

She brought a suspicious man along, saying that it's her boyfriend.

I believe that this case will bring us a lot of money.

Do you think money can solve all? Even if it hurts someone?

It wasn't rape. It was sex by consent.

We won't go to trial.

The prosecutor will charge you...

for blackmailing and false accusation.

Until your client gets tired of waiting,

they'll postpone over and over just to make you go crazy.

Why did you pick me?

If this case goes wrong, you'll be responsible.

You slept with her, didn't you?

There's something I haven't told you.

I'd like to call Kim Sang Man up as witness.

Your connections might all shatter away.
