EPISODE 5

Mr. Song has arrived.

Before we begin today's partner meeting,

I'd like to

introduce you to someone.

I scouted someone truly talented

to join our lineup of partners.

Let me introduce you to Ms. Jung Geum-ja.

Hello, I'm Jung Geum-ja.

It's good to meet you.

I look forward to working with you all.

-Ms. Jung Geum-ja?
-Yes.

Welcome.

I'm Gong Hyeon-guk, the person who called.

AWARD CERTIFICATE

Here.

PARTNER GONG HYEON-GUK

You're a partner at Song & Kim?

Is this your first time here?

Yes.

People get astonished

when they first come in here.

This is no ordinary room.

It holds the history of Song & Kim.

I see.

But I'm sure you didn't ask me to come
so you could show off

Song & Kim's history.

Ms. Jung Geum-ja.

I'm very well aware
of all your achievements.

From Ha Chan-ho's divorce suit

to the scandal
of Cash & Cash Savings Bank.

I'm very impressed,
but I feel bad for you as well.

What do you say?

How would you like to join us
and work in a much bigger world?

What are the terms?

PARTNER JUNG GEUM-JA

CONTRACT

TERMS OF CONTRACT

THE WORKING HOURS...

IN TERMS OF MATERNITY LEAVE...

I'll need some time to think about it.
This is all so sudden.

Ms. Jung.

Here's a quote

from my favorite movie.

Take a look.

BULGWANG-DONG THUG CASE

I see you did a background check.

CASH & CASH SAVINGS BANK SCANDAL

HA CHAN-HO DIVORCE SUIT

YEONGDEUNGPO REVENGE ATTACK

The Bulgwang-dong thug case
is bad enough to get you disbarred.

-An attempted murder.
-It was self-defense.

Will the judge also think that?

-We came to a settlement--
-Are you sure it wasn't a threat?

You're the one
who's trying to threaten me.

Oh, dear.

I'm starting to get intimidated.

I guess you need someone
to clean up the messes, not a lawyer.

But you're asking the wrong person.
I don't do well in organizations.

Make a choice.

Do you want to get disbarred
as a third-class attorney,

or do you want to have a new start
at a first-class law firm?

What do you think?

So you think she's the right person?

They're doing an internal investigation
on the D&T Case,

which is Hee-jae's case.

Team H will have to take over.

We need someone to take the lead.

You need someone to break the rules.

But I still don't get why

you'd let her take over my position.

We need a change.

We have a lot of smart people,
but they're all useless.

They've always had things easy,

so they don't like doing difficult things.

They don't think they exist
for Song & Kim.

They think Song & Kim exists for them.

They're all peaceful and calm.

So you plan to cast loose a catfish?

Hopefully, it'll make the mudfish
a little nervous.

I need someone I can cast away

whenever I want.

Do you think

Jung Geum-ja will be able to
take over my task?

Hyeon-guk.

Just go to the States.

It'll be three years at most.

Okay.

Make a choice.

Do you want to get disbarred
as a third-class attorney,

or do you want to have a new start
at a first-class law firm?

-Hey, Ji-eun.
-How did it go?

-We need new clothes.
-Was it a nice offer?

Yes, it was amazing.

I think they want me working here
for a long time.

I'll pick out an outfit
that's simple yet stunning.

Let's borrow it from 88 Boutique.

Welcome, Ms. Jung Geum-ja.

Here are the sales for each department.

Consultation made 50 billion,
Litigation made 36 billion,

and International Arbitration
made 25 billion.

The Litigation department
needs to do better.

It looks like the market slump

in construction and real estate
has had an influence.

Our firm made
a total of 400 billion won last year.

It's similar to the year before that.
But the problem is the market share.

Our market share keeps
decreasing from 40 percent

among the top ten law firms.

In order to increase our market share,
we need more clients.

I want our equity partners
to work harder in sales.

And those who fail to manage their clients

will end up getting fired.

That is all for today's meeting.

Ms. Jung.

Can we talk for a minute?

Unbelievable.

Help yourself.

We haven't

gotten to say hello properly, have we?

No, I don't think so.

I feel like I know you already
because I've heard so much about you.

Yes, I'm sure.

You did a lot of research about me.

Thank you for deciding to work here
at Song & Kim.

Then can I ask you

for a favor?

In return for taking those cases,

why don't you give me
the documents regarding my past?

And delete the original files.

I'm scared that someone else
might see them.

Sure.

But I'll do that once I know for sure
that you're one of us.

But

why me of all people?

There are lots of competent attorneys
here at Song & Kim.

Because you're different
from our attorneys.

And right now, we need someone like you.

-Is that a compliment?
-Probably.

Here's the case I want you to take.

It's a fintech start-up called D&T.
The president is Son Jin-su.

They're getting ready to become
a listed company.

NAME: SON JIN-SU

I'm sure they don't need a consultation.

The prosecution and police are apparently
doing an investigation on the company.

I want you to do everything you can

to make sure they successfully become
a listed company

without facing any troubles.

Okay.

I got it.

I'll be off now.

But

you'll need to cooperate with the team
that's already been working on it.

The head of that team is Yoon Hee-jae.

I'm sure you already know him very well.

Mr. Song.

I have my own way of doing things.

-I don't work in a team.
-Are you saying you don't need them?

I'm sorry.
I just meant I work better alone.

I'm sure you'll need them.

If that's necessary,

I'll pick my own team members.

The D&T Case is going to be
a lot harder than you think.

Whether you have a team or not,

you won't get anywhere
without Hee-jae's help.

I'll keep that in mind.

I'll do things one by one.

I'm sure that's why you hired me.

Okay.

Ms. Jung, as the team leader,
you will be held accountable.

The process is meaningless

since Song & Kim
only values results and outcomes.

Understood.

How could you hire Jung Geum-ja?

Everyone knows that it's very difficult
to make partner at our firm.

Plus, you hired her as an EP
instead of a CP?

I know you have full authority
over who gets to join our firm,

but this is too much.

What?

Pardon?

What did you just say?

I'm just saying this is all too sudden.

Did you forget?

She won Ha Chan-ho's divorce suit.

She represented his ex-wife,

but he still hired her
as his personal attorney.

That's how good she is.

And remember Chairman Ha's birthday party?

We almost lost Issume as our client
by betting on Ha Hye-won.

The only reason we were able to keep them

was because Jung Geum-ja's law firm

was too small and unknown.

But she still isn't right for Song & Kim.

Do you think the other attorneys
will accept this?

What are they going to do?

There are cases someone must take

although nobody is willing to.

Are you talking about Team H?

I think she's the right person
for the job.

Do you have more to say?

Well, if that's what you insist...

You may leave.

Okay, sir.

Someone needs to do it.

What is this nonsense? Jung Geum-ja?

Everyone's talking.

I heard Mr. Song introduced her
at the meeting as an equity partner.

What is Mr. Song thinking?

Wait a minute. I think I know.

Maybe he brought her here
because she's too good to be our enemy.

What do you mean she's too good?

She's nothing.

What are you talking about? You and her...

LET'S GO, KYEONGSEON HIGH SCHOOL

What is it? Are you shocked by her beauty?

She's the Hee-sun you're talking about?

Hee-jae dated her?

What about us?

I'm saying she's not on good terms
with you and me.

But are you really okay with this?

The entire firm is gossiping about it,
but you're so calm.

Then what? Do you want me to go to
Mr. Song and ask him why he hired her?

Well, no. That'd be too rude.

Do you want me to tell him
that she's too low-class to join our firm

because she used to be a nameless lawyer
and that he should kick her out?

Should I do that, Gi-hyeok?

Did you see how happy he was?

He seemed rather miserable.

You guys must've had a strong connection
in your past lives.

I can't believe your opponent attorney
ended up becoming your colleague.

I thought you were going to hit me.

MR. SONG PIL-JUNG

It must be difficult
now that you have to see him every day.

Let's keep the blinds
of the corridor window down.

I can't believe your office
is right across from his.

Are you that happy?

Look at the ceiling.
It's probably 4m tall.

-There's not a speck of dust.
-Don't be too excited.

Do some research on this.

Tell me everything about
D&T's CEO and the company.

What's this?

-I got it from my friends.
-Your friends?

The secretaries.
They're my register office friends.

I call them that because we met up often
in front of the register office.

What a nice connection.

We badmouth our bosses.

It's really fun when we have a lot to say.

And that makes our bond stronger.

Ms. Jung, how do you feel
to be a member of the golden empire?

What's there to ask?

I'm excited.

Let's get the best out of this place.

Okay.

I also want you to look into
Hee-jae's team members.

I want a detailed report.

-A detailed report.
-That's right.

Okay.

You want me to work with Jung Geum-ja
on the D&T Case?

Sir, we're almost done with that.
We don't need Jung Geum-ja.

I'll decide whether you need her or not.

-Sir.
-Then why don't you

just hand over the case to her?

If you're almost done,
there's nothing left for you to do.

This time, I won't let you
take this away from me.

They're my client,
and I've been working on this.

That's why I want you to work with her.

-Sir, she's Jung Geum-ja.
-So what?

What do you have against her?

Because she was your opposing attorney?

Because she beat you unpredictably?

She's capable of doing

what you can't do.

She's going to be in charge
of D&T's internal investigation.

You can get ready to have them become
a listed company.

I didn't even say anything when you gave
half my clients to the other attorneys.

I tried to think about

why I decided to become an attorney.

If it wasn't Song & Kim,
I would've made a different choice.

But Song & Kim reached out to me,
and you were here.

That's why I chose to be an attorney.

Money is what moves this country,
but behind that, there are attorneys.

Not just any attorney.

The attorneys at Song & Kim.

I refuse to work with Ms. Jung
even if it means I need to quit.

She's useless

to both me and the firm.

Hee-jae.

You want to beat Jung Geum-ja, don't you?

If you can't beat her here,

how will you beat her outside the firm?

Please excuse me.

YOUNGEST PARTNER

BOO HYEON-A

Attorney Boo Hyeon-a.
A sixth-year associate

and the female version of Yoon Hee-jae.

She's likely to become
the youngest female partner here.

-What does she work on?
-She helps corporations

become a listed company
and carry out M&As.

She's the second daughter of Hanseo
and was born with a silver spoon.

You might expect her to be a rich brat.

But she has a sense of justice,

and for some weird reason,

-she willingly takes on pro bono cases.
-Aren't I right?

-She's Song & Kim's Don Quixote.
-Answer me!

She's in charge
of the registration statement,

the overall preparation, and paperwork
for the D&T Case.

Next.

Kim Chang-uk. He's a partner.

He specializes in criminal defense,

and he won every single one of his cases.

He never lost a case?

He doesn't care about politics.

He's a genius
who just focuses on his work.

But I heard his actual job
is something else.

He's raising a daughter all by himself.

As for the D&T Case,
he reviews the investment prospectus

and does the overall strategy consulting.

Pass.

The last person in the team
is Ga Gi-hyeok.

He works very often with Yoon Hee-jae.

He apparently specializes in tax,
but he hasn't won any cases yet.

But I'm sure he's good at something.

-He's extremely good with information.
-Really? How good?

He has connections everywhere.

-Really?
-He knows everything and everyone.

He analyzes patent rights for the D&T Case

and is in charge
of their protection strategy.

So in other words,

you won't be able to do much
without their help.

I can't do this without them? Is that it?

Yes.

Yoon Hee-jae...

What should I do with that guy?

YOON HEE-JAE

Where are you? Can we meet? At Grand Bleu?

I'm surprised.

This is an unexpected choice of place.

I figured we could walk down memory lane.

It was your first day,
so you must've been stoked.

I wanted to hear all about it.

Well, are we celebrating?

Is that necessary?

Oh, I suppose
it does call for a celebration.

You've never worked
at a proper law firm before.

Exactly.

Well, I'm not sure
if I can call it "a proper law firm."

But the decor must've cost a fortune.

From all the paintings
to the furniture and light fixtures.

Then you must've been all distracted.

I mean, you love money.

Don't you like this wine?

That day, you acted like
you were a huge wine connoisseur.

Well, I watched some documentaries
and read books about wine.

Right, I bet.
That's the Jung Geum-ja I know.

Just cut to the chase.

I'm here to listen.

Was your goal

Song & Kim, from the get-go?

-Is that why you approached me?
-Gosh, hold on.

Do we really have to

talk about the past now? It's so lame.

Then

let's talk about the present.

Why you're sitting
in front of me right now.

That's because you asked me to meet up.

I am asking how you ended up

joining our firm.

I mean, I'm there. How could you...

Because it's all in the past.

What happened between us.

Have you been listening to lectures

on how shameless one can become?

Yes, I've listened to a few of those.

There's a three-month course.
Shall I hook you up?

No, thanks.

If we don't meet up privately like this,
you'll have nothing to worry about.

So you do know
how reckless all of this is.

"Reckless"...

I don't know what kind of deal you have
with Mr. Song,

but you'd better quit.

The firm just doesn't suit you.
Do you still not see that?

Don't waste your time and energy.
Just leave.

Who are you worried about? You or me?

Is it because of the D&T Case?

D&T?

D&T, seriously?

Don't even dream, okay?
I cannot work with you.

With me? Don't be delusional.

I want you out, okay?

I can see that
you really are not afraid of me at all.

They're my client.

I am their legal advisor.

Right, so talk to Mr. Song.
Tell him that you can't work with me.

Why don't you go tell him exactly that?

I like the way you put it.

This place

is different from the world you came from.

You probably think you're good
because you lucked out and got Ha Chan-ho,

but come to your senses already.

Why do you say that?

Because I took the GED?

Unlike you, I didn't go to a good school,
and I'm not well-connected.

So I don't belong to your world?

I don't care about such things.

I just think that the methods you use
are complete trash.

Doesn't it ring a bell?

I mean, it wasn't too long ago.

If I say sorry,

will you feel a bit better?

Or just go ahead and tell everyone
that I tricked you to get the information.

-Just do that.
-What?

You can't even do that.

Because you have nowhere to go
if you lose this job.

Well, how about you come to my world?

-There are many things I want to show you.
-Can I give a word of advice?

Don't assume that
you know everything about me.

Can I give a word of advice, too?

Your hair is all squashed on the side.

Also, I know

a lot more about you than you think I do.

And this is the wine that you liked,
not me.

Damn it.

-Congratulations.
-Congratulations.

-Congratulations.
-Congratulations, Mr. Yoon.

-Congratulations.
-Congratulations.

Hee-jae,
look at you with even more wings now.

"Wings"? What are you talking about?

Haven't you heard?

I guess you haven't.
Your father didn't call you?

He's been appointed Supreme Court Justice.

I mean, it's your whole family.

Your grandpa used to be
the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.

Your dad is the Supreme Court Justice now,
and with your brother too...

Everyone in your family is so influential.

Gosh.

Are you the only black sheep
in your family?

"Black sheep"? You prick.

The receiver cannot be reached.

-You will be directed...
-He seems busy. Yes, I bet.

I'm sure everyone's calling him
to congratulate him.

Come in here for a second.

Me? Why?

What? The D&T Case?

We already prepared everything
for that case.

The company will go public
as per our instructions, but--

But what? What's the problem?
Why does the case need another lawyer...

Hold on.

Don't tell me that's Jung Geum-ja.

Seriously?

Are you an orangutan or what?
Stop making sounds like that.

Then what am I supposed to say?

Are we really working with her?

Jung Geum-ja, you, and me?

No.

No, right?

Jeez, we can't work with her.
This is so messed up.

But if we don't cooperate,

she may end up getting the whole case.

Hey, that's just wrong.
Does this make sense to you?

She'll steal another client? Again?

Contact the steering committee
and file a formal complaint.

It's an internal procedure,
but the committee

has been making all decisions
regarding equity partners.

I know that Mr. Song recruited her,

but if she steals our clients like this,

the EPs won't let it slide.

People are complaining
about Jung Geum-ja anyway,

so I think it's worth trying.

How did it go
with Attorney Yoon last night?

He's certainly not willing to cooperate.

Let's just do it without him.

-So you'll just work with the rest?
-Yes.

Can we do that though?

What year are we living in?
Why can't we do it?

Whether it's money or the heart,
we can win it.

Right.

I hope the people you plan to reach out to

will gladly join the team.

There's a big difference
between practical interests and duties.

The same goes for rumors and facts.

Everyone's trying to survive.

I mean, the lawyers here are smart.

I'm Na I-jun, a first-year associate.

I'll be assisting you--

-Yes, take a seat.
-Thank you.

You can sit here.

So, what are you good at?

Me?

I haven't even worked here
for a full year yet.

So what have you been doing?

Organizing meeting minutes.

By the way, what is D&T?

It's a fintech start-up.

Attorney Yoon's team is helping them
go public.

I've never heard of them.

It's a unicorn company,
but you probably don't know.

It's not even an important case, then.

The CEO of D&T is a man named Son Jin-su.

His father is Chairman Son Bong-u.

What? Chairman Son Bong-u?

Yes, one of our VIP clients
whom Mr. Song personally looks after.

My gosh. There must be something, then.

Jeez, I can never figure out
what Mr. Song's thinking.

When is Ms. Kim coming back?

Isn't she supposed to come back soon?

She was the one that gave the authority

to the steering committee
to ensure fair HR decisions.

Gosh, but about this new equity partner...

Keep a watchful eye on Jung Geum-ja.

Keep track of what she's up to
and who she meets.

Maybe she dug her own grave.

-Get to work.
-Yes, sir.

MS. KIM MIN-JOO

Ms. Kim, this is Ma Seok-gu.

Mr. Song hired a new face to lead Team H
instead of Mr. Gong?

Yes, it's almost confirmed.

That's great news.

Pardon me?

If Mr. Gong is out,

that means Mr. Song's managed
to cut the tail off.

I guess things aren't going so smoothly.

Oh, right. That's what I'm saying.

Mr. Gong's been with us for way too long.

But the thing is,
Ms. Jung Geum-ja is underqualified.

I think Mr. Song is making a mistake
this time.

Did you say Jung Geum-ja?

Find out more. Everything about her.

Yes, ma'am.

Joe,

connect me to Kevin Jung.

Yes, ma'am.

Transferring now.

Kevin, we need to pull the schedule earlier
for Korea.

Hee-jae is coming, too.

Yes, of course.
He should celebrate with us.

Cut it out.

It's just a nice excuse
to have a meal together.

Isn't it okay to drink a little
on a day like this?

-Gosh, no. I'll pass.
-Goodness.

By the way, the current presidency
will be over soon.

That's why I'm getting ready.

There's someone I brought to the firm
even though it wasn't the plan.

Nothing scares her or grosses her out.

She's arrogant, so I was going to stomp
all over her but took her under my wing.

I think I made a wise decision.

Care to elaborate?

It's better for you not to know.

I'll just do my best in my position.

Yes, you should.

NURSING HOME

Hello?

Yes, I'll be on my way.

Okay.

-It was the nursing home.
-What's the matter?

Her condition suddenly worsened.

-I have to go.
-All right, get going.

Okay.

I don't know how this will sound,
but I'm sorry you're going through this.

Your wife's been ill for over ten years.

I'm sorry I have to leave.

-See you soon.
-Don't worry. Get going.

Sir, are you leaving?

Yes, I got an urgent call
from the nursing home.

-Because of your wife?
-Yes.

-Have a good dinner with your father.
-Thank you.

Dad, congratulations on being appointed
Supreme Court Justice.

Thanks. Let's eat first.

Hee-jae.

The Civil Affairs Secretary Case
a little while ago

made me wonder
if you're only getting risky cases.

Are you doing all right?

Yes.

But these days, I'm not sure.

What it means to be a true lawyer.

Remember what I said when you told me
you were going to work for Song & Kim

after the training institute?

You told me to be the best of the best
if I wanted to become

a true lawyer
and if I set my mind to pursuing

this path.

That's right.
And you've been doing a great job.

But you see,

I made a mistake.

A mistake that not even
a third-rate lawyer makes.

And it's been haunting me ever since.

Hee-jae.

You need to be objective
about your own mistakes even if it hurts.

I've learned that mistakes
don't happen by chance.

Don't try to figure out tricks
just to protect your pride.

You can only win by avoiding bad moves.

Remember that.

Okay, I will.

Let's eat, Dad.

We shouldn't underestimate
Ms. Boo Hyeon-a. She's very meticulous.

But my position is higher than hers.

It's been a while. You remember me, right?

Yes. Although I wouldn't call it
a fond memory.

You're in charge of the bonds
in the D&T Case, right?

-Yes, what about it?
-At the meeting, we'll go through

all their financial statements
from the past three years.

-Please bring everything.
-Pardon?

-I guess you haven't heard.
-Heard what?

I'm leading the team for the D&T Case.

-I beg your pardon?
-Do you have a hearing problem?

What I'm saying is,
I'm your boss from now on.

Let's work hard together.

I haven't heard anything about that yet.

The meeting's in 2 days, at 2 p.m.

Make sure you send
all the documents and paperwork

to my secretary by this evening.

-The documents?
-Yes.

The ones
on the applicable legal provisions.

And everything else I'd need

including all your research.

What's wrong?

Do you have something against
showing the team leader your files?

I'll send them over
after checking with Mr. Yoon.

What I'm giving you
isn't a choice but an order.

Then I'm grateful for your subtlety.

If you're done giving orders,
please leave.

Is this your way of telling me
you want off this team?

The team you call yours?

Nothing's set in stone yet.

Attorney Kim Chang-uk is a loner.
Even his palate is unique.

It's fine since I eat just about anything.

What's your game plan?

I'll charm the pants off him.

MAPO PORK RIND

A plate of half-dried herring, please.

Now there's a lady who is educated.

Herring is currently in season.

-Who are you?
-I'm Jung Geum-ja,

new team leader of the D&T Case.

I hope we get along.

How did you snag such a beauty?

It's not like that.

As if I'd believe that.

The meeting

will begin in two days.

Is that so?

You haven't lost
a single criminal case yet

which got me thinking.

Do you only take winnable cases

because you're of the Song & Kim clan?

Or maybe you win before heading to court

or take cases that no one can lose.

Those are the cases I like, too.

Being that calculative

is a talent if you ask me.

Just get to the point, will you?

Have a drink first.

BEEF ENTRAILS, CHICKEN FEET, GIZZARD

You're divorced, right?

And you're raising a daughter on your own.

Don't you need money?

I have a feeling that
you need lots and lots of money.

I don't need any.

Then why do you log onto
the US futures market at night?

You wake up at three in the morning.

It's why those bags under your eyes
are sagging like crazy.

The master interpreter of gossip.

You're known as the Chart Master.

The one with the black wart.

I hate to break it to you,
but you couldn't be more wrong.

Is that so? Are you sure?

Jung Geum-ja, 41.

You add or shed off years when you please

and consider those five years your senior
as peers.

You passed the 41st Bar Exam,

and before joining Song & Kim,
you ran Law Office Choong.

Your background is foggy though.

I thought you're
a wealthy businessman's daughter,

but that doesn't explain the GED.

I then thought you could be a spy,
but you're a lawyer.

Whoever you are though,
a dragon rose from the ditch.

I was right. You are the Chart Master.

You're the one with the black wart, right?

I knew it.

-There's the wart.
-Stop fucking around with me

and lay off.

All right. Well, manage
your hangover well tomorrow

and be at the meeting at 2 p.m.

You will bring me all the gossip
you have on D&T.

Mr. Yoon, have a seat.

I'd understand if she were here
as a CP and not an EP.

Mr. Ma,

for what reason did Mr. Song
have her join us?

I'm sure he's drawing a bigger picture.
One too big for us to understand.

If we can't understand it, then who can?

So much for a steering committee.

Well, Mr. Song and Ms. Kim
could have different visions.

Mr. Choo,

which class of the Judicial
Training Institute did she graduate?

The 41st, sir.

How so? Isn't she on the older side?

She's a high school dropout,
so who knows what else she did?

Then she hit the lottery

by making it all the way up here.

Let's set her aside

and focus on Mr. Yoon who's present.

Congratulations on your father
becoming a Supreme Court Justice.

Congratulations.

I'd love to pour you a drink.

My glass is still full.

Just so you know,
I've been advocating on your behalf.

Whatever the reason is,

Mr. Song shouldn't sideline
someone as competent as you.

-Right.
-It's why I'd like to suggest

his transfer to our team.

That's a good idea.

What do you say, Mr. Yoon?
I'm dead serious.

Being a greedy man,

I'm always in the demand
for competent EPs.

Just like Mr. Choo--

This is out of the blue.

-What?
-Or isn't it?

You finally want me on your team

at the exact moment my father
became a Supreme Court Justice.

The timing of it is uncanny.

I appreciate the offer,
but I'm sure I'm allowed to decline.

Of course. Mr. Ma was only joking anyway.

We all know you're fine on your own.

I made a mistake.

"PAGANINIANA" BY KOIMAN

A mistake that not even
a third-rate lawyer makes.

And it's been haunting me ever since.

Make a choice.

Do you want to get disbarred
as a third-class attorney,

or do you want to have a new start
at a first-class law firm?

Ms. Jung, as the team leader,
you will be held accountable.

The process is meaningless

since Song & Kim
only values results and outcomes.

Unbelievable.

She practically begged
for me to join her team.

I told her I couldn't.
No, I said I wouldn't.

How can I when my loyalty lies with you?

Come in.

Mr. Ga Gi-hyeok?

You can't persuade me.

Ms. Boo and Mr. Kim might join you,
but not me.

Even though I'd hear
what you have to offer first,

in no way will I--

But Mr. Song did give her the right
to form her own team.

Ms. Boo and Mr. Kim
won't be able to ignore her forever.

There's a rumor about siding with her
to get on Mr. Song's good side.

If she does end up leading the D&T Case,

it'll only give the rumor weight.

Hold on though.

What if siding with her
is like siding with Mr. Song?

Why else would Mr. Song
be putting her in charge?

Shit.

Maybe I should've considered her offer.

Hey!

Then tell me
what you're going to do about this.

Will you let her take over?

You think the lawyers here
will acknowledge her?

As their boss or even as an actual lawyer?

Everyone at Song & Kim
has been an elite all their lives.

A low-class lawyer who cleans up
after jackasses is a team leader?

Who'd accept that?

She's in over her head.

It must piss you off then.

Here you are
still losing everything to her.

Hey, it's Ms. Sim.

-Yu-mi?
-Hello, yes. Have you arrived?

Sure, I'll meet you downstairs. See you.

I'm on my way.

Good day.

Mr. Yoon.

Ms. Jung Geum-ja came to see me.

What?

I was ordered to hand over my files
and attend her D&T meeting.

-And?
-This is a case I've been working on

which is why I'm confused
by the situation.

What should I do?
The meeting starts tomorrow.

-What?
-The tables might turn though.

I heard that the steering committee

will discuss
her qualifications as a team leader.

If she's only hired as a CP,

she won't be able to lead a team.

How can she when she's not qualified to?

How about iced coffee?

Do you have anything else?

Then what can I get you?

Why don't we go to my office first
and then grab get some coffee?

I'd rather have it now. I'm thirsty.

But...

What are you doing?

Is this it?

The coffee we have is bad though.

Ms. Sim, why don't we go to a coffee shop?

I'd rather stay if you don't mind.
I'm lazy to go outside.

-Don't you want one?
-No, I'm good, Ms. Sim.

Gosh, could you keep your voice down?

Just a second. The machine's not done.

Finally.

-Ms. Sim--
-I'm loving the aroma. Hold on.

Look at all these snacks.
This place is the bomb.

GET OFF ME

WHY THE HELL IS YU-MI HERE?

ASK HER YOURSELF IF YOU'RE CURIOUS!

It already seems like you put on
three kilograms. You've had enough.

CURSING HARSHLY!

Go away, evil spirit.

CURSING EVEN MORE HARSHLY!

Thank you.

Hold on. Why is this door locked?

It's occupied.

They'll be out soon.

I doubt they'll spend
the whole night in there.

Why would anyone want
to get at it at a place like that?

Consider all the people that go in there.

-What are you saying?
-She just implied how two people

are doing it in the supply room.

I'm curious as to who they are.

Would it last long?

Why would you be curious about that?
You and your imagination.

Why are you like this today?

I know we've gotten close,
but don't forget I'm your client.

Of course.

Get off me now.

-You're pressing against me.
-You've gained weight.

Didn't you know
that Yu-mi comes by my office?

You didn't handle her divorce,
so why is she coming to you?

Ask her if you're that curious.

How is this just my problem?

This is messy for you, too.

Did this never occur to you?
Sim Yu-mi or not,

you coming here is a dangerous risk.

Avoiding it won't make it go away.

Would apologizing ease your guilt?

No, wait.
Have you even properly apologized?

If you were going to barge in here
to feed your greed,

you should've considered me as a variable.

You shouldn't have forgotten how our past

could always be revealed.

And what were we exactly?

Us?

Two people in love.

HYENA

The internal investigation
is pretty serious.

The prosecution is very determined.

We're very close
to becoming a listed company.

Who'd do such a thing? For what reason?

Be careful.
That world is certainly different.

Do I have more to lose?

Do you think the witness
will meet her willingly?

Hold on.

What business do you have with me?

The truth.

Gosh, you really are feisty.

I hear you met our boss.

You should've seen him.

You made quite an impression.

Even I'm excited for this fight.

-There's got to be more.
-Why must I tell you that?

It looks like you should get busy.
