Episode 9

Are you even thinking straight?

How much would you even know about him

to think he would gladly take on a case like this?

He is that kind of a person anyway. He doesn't have to take it.

Did Kim Seok Joo say he's not going to do something?

He's saying why he has to take on a pro bono case. He says it's too sensitive.

That family murder? - Yes.

I have an interview I set up today, so at least I should go there for that.

They'll accept me even if I go alone, right?

Your attorney's license was issued, right?

Then an interview will be possible. Since the attorney list can be changed right before the trial.

What would be first thing I should do when I go to the interview?

When you go to prison for an interview,

first, you leave your ID and receive a pass.

Ah, you have to also leave your cellphone. You can't take in your cellphone...

By chance, do you smoke? You have to leave your cigarettes and lighter as well.

Please hand in the cellphone.

Yes.

If you go there with a scheduled appointment, they should have already brought out the defendant.

Try asking him about what the prosecutor indicted him for.

The day your grandmother passed away,

it's recorded that while fighting with your father, you stabbed him. Is that correct?

Why he wouldn't leave early,

is that really the whole reason?

Were you very upset because your grandmother passed?

You have to answer so I can help you.

I understand that you would be feeling terrible right now, but

are you going to spend the rest of your life in jail?

You may not believe me, but

I work at a very good law firm.

I know many excellent attorneys as well.

I have a brother around your age too,

I'm also close to your neighborhood's youth organization's administrator.

When you received the news that your grandmother passed,

did you think about the time when your mom passed away two years ago?

Oh, and whatever it may be, try asking him about something that he likes. He isn't going to say much.

If he's a type of a kid who expresses himself well, he wouldn't have done that kind of thing in the first place.

If you have time, try to investigate once more about how he lived in the past.

I know those are awful memories to bring up,

but I can help you only if you tell me.

Then should we talk about something you like first?

When I went over to your house there was a motorcycle there. Do you like motorcycles?

Is it still there untouched? - Yeah.

How was his normal relationship with his father, did his father use violence?

What do you want me to say?

Why you did something like that to your own father?

It's something I just need to go to prison for.

You're only 19. Let's assume that something that shouldn't have happened did happen at a young age.

Do you want to rot in jail for the rest of your life?

I'll come back tomorrow.

Let's talk again at a time when you wish to talk.

What should I do after the interview?

You're a lawyer too. To reduce the sentence, you need to do whatever you can to your best ability.

Attorney Kim Seok Joo

No. You can do it too.

I can do it. Aja Aja Fighting!

It's you.

I'm sorry.

During the time we couldn't contact you, he didn't eat at all.

Isn't it too late?

Because so many blood vessels gather in the spleen as the sarcoma grew, he became anemic.

On top of that, maybe because he knew we couldn't contact you he seemed to be listless as well.

If you're going to do the surgery, it'll be best to rush it.

If I didn't come back,

you would have just waited without knowing the reason.

I'm sorry.

Something like this will never happen again. Never.

Where are you coming from?

From the jail interview.

You're going to, after all, take that case?

- Yes, our firm decided to take the case. - Who will?

The attorney who will appear in court hasn't been settled yet but it's been decided to take the case for now,

and for the time being, I will be interviewing him

to find possible clues for mitigating circumstances.

Don't ask me to do it.

Wait. Attorney.

Would it be okay to ask why you don't wish to take on this case?

Would it be okay to ask why you insist on defending a kid who killed his father?

It's true that killing your own father is the ultimate sin against heaven

but I think regarding why that child couldn't help ending up that way, there should be social responsibility as well.

He couldn't receive a proper education having been raised by a mom with an intellectual disability,

even his mom often underwent beatings.

And 2 years ago, his father killed his mother.

He was only accused of killing his wife, he was freed.

Guilty in the first trial, and in the second trial it's been decided not guilty.

When Jung Hye Ryeong was acquitted, if they say Jung Hye Ryeong killed Park Dong Hyeon, how unfair would that be.

That father confessed from the beginning.

Jung Hye Ryeong also confessed.

It's different than being coerced by a prosecutor's plea bargain.

What husband in the world would confess that they killed their wife when they didn't?

So you believe that his father killed his mother.

And you don't believe the 'not guilty' sentence.

I don't know about other people but that child probably believed that.

His father who killed his mom came back home without being punished by the law,

he had to live with an abusive father in the same house.

As he faced him after coming home from working in the countryside,

how do you think that child felt everyday?

Why can't these be a reason for mitigating circumstances?

To be neglected to that point and for the incident to occur,

you cannot say that there is no societal responsibility.

We're in trouble then.

So you're saying that our firm has accepted this case? - Yes.

Then the most passionate person can take it. Work hard.

His fever seems to have dropped.

Do you think that because he's busy dating, he doesn't like work anymore?

He was never like this...

Then again, he did get rejected a lot. - Really?

Of course. What kind of girl would like someone like that?

Always busy and has no time, urgent work matters happening frequently.

Ah, but ajummas really like him. Saying he's a first ranked husband material.

He doesn't come home, he doesn't eat, and he doesn't have time to cheat.

Did we come here often?

Around 3 times.

You proposed here.

I thought it might help you regain some of your memories. That's why I chose to meet here.

Who picked out that ring?

I did. And you paid for it.

You have good taste.

You said the same thing back then as well.

Don't you wonder about anything concerning me?

To be honest,

right now, I really don't know what to ask.

I should have been the one driving you home.

I looked into it a bit. People who suffer amnesia shouldn't be driving.

If you get an unexpected stimulation, you could get a headache,

so it would be better for you not to drive, if possible.

Since it's dangerous, don't do it.

I think the perfume... seems familiar.

Attorney Park, the interview went well yesterday. Thank you.

It wasn't scary?

Intern Lee Ji Yun!

Yes, Attorney.

I have to go investigate the scene right now I'm sorry.

Work hard!

Lee Jong Soo's Patricide Incident Report.

There's no reason to chase him around with a spoon when he doesn't want to eat.

Bring the documents on the Yurim case quickly.

Yes, Chairman Kwon.

I'm thinking of heading over to the firm at around 3, do you have time?

Is it something urgent?

I think the subsidiary company must go into receivership.

I can't seem to stop the maturing commercial paper (Short term loans with no collateral.).

When is it?

It looks like within 4 days they'll come due.

Attorney Kim Seok Joo...

I've contacted him separately. Then I'll see you.

Did you receive Chairman Kwon's phone call?

Yes. I'm looking at the documents now.

I need about 30 minutes more to look over everything.

Would it be helpful if I quickly give you a briefing?

Yes.

As the eldest son of Chairman Kwon forcibly took over a company without capital,

they started to fall into financial difficulty. As a solution, they issued CPs.

However the problem is not only the blue chip enterprises such as securities or cement, but

Yurim International which only has 25 employees,

and even companies at the caliber of golf courses maintenance are all issuing commercial paper.

If those companies are flooding the market with commercial paper like a stationery store,

what financial institution will sell them? [i.e., The commercial paper is worthless blank paper.]

Yurim Group owns a securities firm.

They indiscreetly sold the commercial paper to the securities firm's clients.

They not only sold to walk in customers but even solicited subscriptions over the telephone.

Who would have even imagined that a company with no more than 25 employees

would print out commercial paper at the level of a large company which is tantamount to fraud?

Then what happens to the security company's credit rating?

It's already hit the floor. They're saying that they'll declare bankruptcy.

If they can't handle the returning CPs, about 30,000 people will be victims

and the cost of damage will be more than 1 billion dollars.

I can't take this kind of case.

You may not be able to take responsibility until the end,

but you will still need to attend today's meeting.

The basic plan of issuing CPs as a means to overcome the financial difficulties was your proposal.

Are you... saying that this is my plan?

Of course there's no way you'd make a plan that would bring over 30k victims with over 1.2 trillion won of losses.

You'll probably have told them to put out the most urgent fires with $100-$200 billion, but proceeding as directed

despite the low interest rate and credit ratings, people were still buying the CPs.

And since the money came pouring in there he couldn't halt the fun and raked in the money which was collected.

But what can we do? It's your fiancee's family's company.

Welcome.

Something came up rather unexpectedly so I called quickly.

Work is something that happens suddenly, isn't it?

Our children wishes to put the stock company, Yurim, Yurim Leisure, and Yurim Networks into receivership.

Three companies are in the range that major media and victims are expecting.

We're saying that we'll put three into receivership and only save two companies.

Why is that so unreasonable?

Yurim Network has 25 employees. Yurim Leisure also doesn't even have 50.

Yurim Securities Firm is still the cream of the top business.

While acquiring the textile company, even that company progressed to financial difficulty.

The problem will not be solved by laying out companies to that limit.

If you were to only save one, what would it be? The cement? Or the securities?

Currently the securities company's credit rating is hitting bottom.

Just by looking from the rank of financial difficulties, cement is in the black so...

What do you think?

Save the securities firm.

I fully understand what you are saying.

We'll go home and decide which one to save and turn over and will contact you.

Well... even if we save only one, the others are able to regenerate again?

We'll be able to pass through this without any damage to our people, right?

At least one person must take responsibility for this situation.

If we did the plan you proposed last time wasn't it supposed to not have any problem?

You did it according to the plan I put in place but this trouble occurred?

If this problem has occurred due to something I planned, then I will take responsibility.

However,

I will only take responsibility up to that point.

I will not involve myself with problems beyond that.

The defense team says that they won't take the patricide case.

The pro bono team is also in the midst of arguing back and forth as to who should take the case.

There are over 400 lawyers here. Shouldn't there be one at the level of the trial?

Even in the Yurim Group case, he said that he wouldn't accept any parts that he wasn't personally involved in.

What do you think that means?

Yes, Judge Jeon.

Yes, CEO Cha, it's Jeon Ji Won.

Yes, please speak.

I thought that for a proposal like this, there's an obligation to respond quickly, so I'm giving you a call.

I think it would be best if we were to meet and discuss this.

Where should I meet you?

Why don't we meet up near the firm and simply have a cup of tea.

Let's do that.

Have you ever heard that he was usually beaten by his father?

He got hit after he quit school...

And also, when his dad was home, he didn't really want to go home.

Would you be able to come out to court and testify?

Aihoo... don't even talk. He went around riding it every night.

He liked that a lot.

But there are 3 motorcycles?

If there are any records of mental or psychiatric treatment, the effect would be really strong.

It a shame...

Children raised in this environment wouldn't go to a psychiatrist just because a problem occurs,

there would be no way for psychiatric records to even exist.

Actually they are in the class (status) who needs it the most, it's like that.

Even at the shelter, wouldn't there be something like similar evidence to that?

I'll look, but don't expect too much.

You should watch where you're walking or you'll fa...

Oh? Hello.

But, what brings you here?

I have some business in the area.

Judge Jeon, at a criminal trial,

what would be the strongest extenuating circumstance for which a sentence could be reduced?

What?

I'm not sure. It hard to say without looking at the documents...

Ah, should we sit here for a moment?

To say it was an accidental act,

a person who'll testify that his father was usually extremely abusive,

a friend to testify what this child was like typically,

and also, since he probably doesn't have a psychiatric diagnosis,

his school records will probably be helpful too.

Is he regretting or reflecting on his actions?

I've had two interviews with him,

he seemed to have given up on himself.

He doesn't know what he needs to do to make it more or less advantageous

and he looks as if he's still in shock.

His father confessed,

but due to lack of evidence, he was freed.

If you were adjudicating this case how much of a sentence might we expect?

If it was me... around 15 years?

Even though I take the circumstances into consideration, it'll be over 10 years,

the prosecutor may demand the life sentence.

Thank you for making the time when you're busy.

But, weren't you on the same team as Attorney Kim Seok Joo?

He said he's not interested in these types of cases.

I'll look for witnesses as you advised.

Yes, I'm glad I was able to help.

Thank You. Bye.

Ah perhaps, have you thought of a public jury trial?

If you think there might be possibility by making a sentimental appeal,

applying for a public jury trial is one of the methods too.

But that it's a public jury trial doesn't mean that you'll automatically get a lesser sentence.

It could be an even longer sentence, so think about it carefully before you decide.

For a good result...

to come out, an attorney who's good at persuasion should appear, right?

Well, I think passion, sincerity, and authenticity

are the best instruments for persuasion.

I'll see you next time.

I didn't know that I'd get to meet a judicial officer at a this kind of place at this time of the day.

You know this place well?

I meet with Attorney Yoon Ji Min here occasionally.

That you're asking to meet in this kind of place, I can guess the answer.

Yes. Even up until last night I was concerned as to why it would be someone like me you sought after.

However, the question changed on the way here.

What could have happened...

I've analyzed that Kim Seok Joo's position has changed.

That is true.

Through personal reasons, Attorney Kim Seok Joo

will be leaving our Cha Yeong Woo firm shortly.

We can't leave a dragon and a tiger in the same cage can we?

Attorney Kim Seok Joo seems to be a person who has been optimized at the Cha Yeong Woo firm.

That is true.

So after you changed the question did your answer change as well?

Truthfully, it wasn't an offer worth throwing everything else.

Everything...

There are many lawyers who were previously in the courtroom who feel that moving to the law firm is like a demotion.

When you stand in court during a trial, "was the judge's bench that high?"

They say they needlessly feel nervous in front of a greenhorn junior.

Since I was at a law firm from the start it is a feeling that I don't know well.

The Supreme Court bench probably looks even higher.

If you are allowed to return to the court after about 15 years...

To gain experience at the law firm, with a new viewpoint

and on top of that, resolve any financial problem and then to be able to return to the Court.

This is... a countless number of judges' wish.

Of course even if you return with difficulty

you may lose out to the traditional pecking order.

There are cases where people lose out but there are cases were they don't also.

It's not even like there were never Supreme Court Justices with backgrounds as lawyers.

That kind of position has to be guaranteed for you to say that you're returning?

What that means...

If you want that seat in 15 years, I will make efforts.

This is a moment when I'm realizing the saying that

it (Cha Yeong Woo Firm) is one of three powerful institutions of our country.

That's absurd.

There may not be anyone who doesn't know Duwon Group or Hanjoo Daily,

but the majority of people don't recognize the name of the Cha Yeong Woo firm.

Would it be enough to write a memorandum right here?

No. CEO Cha Yeong Woo's words

do not sound as less significant than a guarantee and the like.

I'm going out for a bit. - Yes, boss.

Aunt, where are you going?

Ah, today...

is Ji Hyeok's audition day. Stop eating and let's go together.

Aiyoo, I keep telling you not to fill him with air (give false hope/encouragement).

If you don't want to then don't.

Aunt, wait! Let's go together.

Wait, wait right there! Wait!

The dogs and cows (everyone and anyone) are all holding Djembes (West African drum).

You know our Ji Hyeok, he's a trendsetter.

♪ You are my sweet rice cake

♪ You are my Soba noodles

♪ Ye, you are my - Doesn't this make 20th time with just Djembes?

♪ peanut squid - 23 people.

Hold on a second! - Yes?

Can you do anything else?

Ah, I can... I know how to spin? - Spin?

Yes...

I spin very well.

You do it roughly like this and after you just do this...

He passed, passed.

Fighting everyone.

Ji Hyeok! Ji Hyeok.

Aunt!

Oh my! You passed! My baby!

Aigoo, adorable! Aigoo, adorable. Woojjojjo, Woojjojjo. (cooing noise you make to babies)

Noona.

Who is he?

(phone number...)

Oh my. Hello, Attorney?

Intern Lee Ji Yun!

You left the office early today, you came here to audition?

You really go around to audition?

Of course. Intern Lee Ji Yun, you're here to audition too?

Oh, no. I'm here for because of my brother.

This friend over here, he passed.

But attorney, why do you look so tired today?

Ah, I've been waiting here for 6 hours already.

I even went to the salon and had some make up done but it's come up a little, hasn't it?

A little bit. #3908, Park Sang Tae!

Ah Yes! I'll be back.

Don't stop until they push your back, telling you to leave, try to the very end.

Think of this as my last chance, with resistance!

With resistance! Fighting!

Who is he? That cute attorney?

He's already divorced twice.

Really?

Call him.

Hello? I'm #3908 Park Sang Tae.

You occupation is an attorney?

Wait, you should just stick to being an attorney. Why did you come out here?

Please listen to the song first, yes.

♪ I have been living like such a fool.

♪ I have...

♪ On my dark and stale window, the night when rain falls

♪ Look for me with your umbrella

♪ The most beautiful thing in this world...

♪ My reality right now is att-or-ney

♪ But my dream is a music miss-io-nary

Okay, next participant.

Trading it when it was in style, after using it for the audition does it make sense that you want to trade it back now?!

I'm sorry but he traded it by himself without the right to do so and now the owner is looking for it.

That's your situation but I don't want to trade it back.

I told you that I already tried talking to him a few times.

Look, It's it's embezzlement of lost property if you sell off things that somebody left behind.

Your younger brother was the one who brought it to me saying that it was a knock off asking to trade it. It wasn't me!

Do you know how much this watch is worth?!

I didn't know how much this watch was worth, and I only traded it because he asked me to trade!

This is getting more fun.

Even if you didn't know that was high-value item, you knew it after the trade. If you don't return the watch in that situation..

Embezzlement. It becomes validated as a crime of embezzlement.

Well, then sue me!

And if you knew that the watch was worth several thousands of dollars from the start

and traded it with a $20 Djembe (West African drum) then it's validated as a crime of fraud.

--But between fraud and embezzlement which has the higher punishment? --I'm not sure.

What do we do? You're going to get caught for one of the two guaranteed.

Oh wow, you passed! - I passed? I passed?

It's jackpot, isn't it? --Jackpot!

It's that watch.

Yes.

With Kim Seok Joo's temperament he didn't resolve the watch matter all this time?

There is a reason, Lawyer.

Can't you pretend not to know until I give this watch back?

Ji Yun.

I'll go. Yes.

Hey, your father says he's coming. - Really?

He said they are hosting a meeting for the metal worker union or some union in Seoul.

He came to Seoul for that and he will visit you later.

What did your father say?

He said that his blood pressure was high and that he couldn't eat sweet things.

He has some diabetes too, right?

Yes.

If he were to go into diabetic shock, the damage would be high.

Thank you, Doctor.

I bought the ones that weren't sweet so you can drink them.

When I'm being released tomorrow, why did you bother coming?

I have time left over these days.

What time are you being discharged tomorrow? I'll come to escort you.

I'm really free. My workload has lessened quite a lot.

Why did you suddenly lessen your workload?

Are you sick somewhere?

How sick could a young fellow be even if he were sick?

Oh, does the woman I'm to marry appeal to you?

Where is there whether she appeals to me or not?

It's hard enough for my own child to appeal to me.

If you two don't divorce and live well that's enough.

Go on. I'd better sleep.

You don't need to come tomorrow. I'm going to eat breakfast and be discharged right after.

Yes, then rest. I'll come to pick you up tomorrow.

Alzheimer's isn't an easy disease.

It's a illness where you have to tell your family and receive help and care.

You might forget when to take your pills or get lost.

Starting with your recent memories, they will slowly start to disappear.

Don't put a nail through your children's hearts

and tell them everything

and I think it would be good to get their cooperation.

I will do as I see fit.

May. 29th. Thursday My son came today...

He asked about his mother. I thought he was mad at me for not being there when she passed. His fiancee...

The pork belly will smell so we should open the door...!

Oh, hello. We're going to eat grilled pork belly. Why don't you eat with us?

Aiyoo, it's all right. It's fine.

But it's not appetizing to eat alone...

Do we have soju?!

Meat is good.

Grill it well.

Our Ji Yun is even prettier since she's gone into the law firm.

I've lost some weight.

I think your face has changed in that time. Did you fix it (do plastic surgery)?

He lost a lot of money on a poor laminate job, Dad.

Hey, Noona.

But why didn't Unnie come with you?

You know her motion sickness is severe.

At any rate, you're a union leader?

I thought our family motto was to keep it low and live long and thin?

Not all union leaders are that rough.

Only poorly managed businesses are like that.

We're in our prime season so there's nothing to worry about.

That's right. Your company is reliable.

A few days ago I went to Yurim Securities and they said that the CP interest rates were high. They told me to

buy it so I broke open all my savings accounts and bought your company's shares.

Aunt, just do the saving accounts. Those things are dangerous. Don't do it.

Oh, you don't know how strong and profitable our business is.

Yurim Cement is No. 2 in the country!

Do they give a lot of interest? - It's higher than the bank.

Why?

Oh, I went to go on an audition yesterday and saw Intern Lee Ji Yun.

Does she go out on auditions too?

No, her younger brother had come out.

Oh, your watch changed. not that one, but where did you old watch go?

It's at home. Why?

No... You hosted my first and second wedding ceremony.

You remember, right?

Yes, I did. What about it?

No... You hosted twice for me, so

It seems like maybe it's time for me to repay your kindness.

Oh, that's not it. That's not it. Looking back, you didn't participate in the second wedding.

At that time did you say that you were going to Paris on a business trip?

So you had bought me a painting from France saying you were sorry.

It was a beachscape.

You remember it, right?

Oh, did I?

Aiyoo, where is my head?

It wasn't a beachscape. It was a statue of a married couple.

It was incredibly heavy.

They are calling for you to come to the conference room now.

As you can see from the cases of savings banks, once your checks bounce, you go bankrupt.

All the remaining deposits will be confiscated by the KDIC and we can't get that back.

All your assets will be gone and only your business license will be left.

To take the company over again, the approval from the Financial Supervisory Service will be needed.

and because it can cause a lot of loss to ordinary citizens with faulty loans and commerce,

they'll never allow you to acquire a financial institution with a history like that.

You won't qualify to be a major stockholder, so you won't be able to reclaim them.

I don't understand why we should keep Yurim Securities when it's not doing so well in business.

The cement company is still in the black, and has enough assets to pay its way out.

They will wonder why we're handing it over?

Even though Cement is a company that can be saved completely,

you have to make it look like the owner is making the stockholders bleed

for you to lessen the victims' anger even a little bit.

Just lessen the human damage.

If a Chief Financial Officer or a CEO of a branch could take the blame...

It's around $1.2 billion. Would the prosecutors believe that?

You will have to pay damages of at least half of the total.

If you try to conclude it at this point, all of the arrows will be pointed in your direction.

Kim Seok Joo has become strange. Why is he acting like that?

He's drawing a line saying that he won't accept anything past what he planned.

Oh, yes.

Of course my sons were foolishly greedy.

Still I can't let them go in for it.

I think that it would be better to leave the rest of the process to another firm.

Are even you going to be like this too?

The Group's credit worthiness has hit the floor anyway.

Some civil movement organization or the prosecution might eventually find out that this firm had a hand in it.

It is better that another firm continue with it.

It is a way to cut off their suspicion.

Still that Kim Seok Joo is taking his hand off...

He may help you unofficially. I will have him do so.

At any rate, our top priority is to make sure the media and the prosecution remain blind about our role.

Once they find out, it will become impossible to escape.

Even if he were to take your case, he'd have to team up with another lawyer outside of this firm.

There should be a different law firm's name on paper, you know.

If you have to pin it on one person,

who are you thinking of?

The older child's wife

is sometimes called to have meals with the President of Korea.

If there is sympathy from the Blue House, couldn't we finish it with a partial repayment?

I also heard that she has the relationship where she frequents the Blue House, but

the law sometimes also serves to redress grievances.

Bouncing $1.2 billion would be the biggest fiasco in the history of commercial papers.

Why is Kim Seok Joo really like that these days? Does he really have pancreatic cancer?

He said that he wouldn't even accept the case related to those to become his in-laws. Did the marriage plans break up?

Hey, where are you going?

Right out front. Jeong Seon is asking to see me for a minute.

Did Jeong Seon like the ring?

I picked you a really expensive one.

What are you talking about? Jeong Seon picked it out and I only approved it.

Hey, after we get off work I'll see you there!

Where?

There. 8 o'clock.

Okay.

Where is that?

Where is that? A Yurim Group subsidiary applied for receivership.

As the courthouse accepted the rehabilitation application,

the attention is now on the remedy measures.

Especially Yurim Leisure and Yurim International had been predicted to be liquidated

while Yurim Cement was expected to be spared from court receivership.

This receivership decision...

The meeting went long.

Would it be recoverable?

Depending on how much is repaid.

If it's about 50% it will be possible.

You're suffering so much over something you can't even remember.

It's the work I was doing.

Are you really going to take your hand off?

I think that's it's gotten beyond what I can handle.

If he pointlessly hopes, he will be disappointed. Tell him the truth.

Are you disappointed?

I don't know.

It would be nice for you to help but the circumstances have changed.

I'll take care of it.

Is there something you're curious about?

Did I love you, Jeong Seon?

Even if it wasn't a passionate love, well...a special feeling...

there must have been a sense of trust, and that's why I thought of marriage.

There would have been enough feelings to marry.

There would have been.

I couldn't know your heart exactly.

Do you love me enough to marry me?

If we marry love will come, as much as is needed.

You're saying that I didn't give you certainty. I'll try harder.

Do you know where I usually met with Lawyer Park Sang Tae?

Since with Lawyer Park Sang Tae it was usually personal matters I don't know up to there.

Oh, Park Sang Tae. - What?

Oh, I can't remember the location.

J Hotel.

Student Lee Jong Soo... when he was in 12th grade.

On the comments on his behavior...

in 10th grade, he didn't get along with other kids, and he didn't have many friends in 11th grade.

Your heart aches also that your father passed away.

We're going to go with a public jury trial.

At that time I'd like for you to share these emotions just like this.

We have to show your repentance

so that the sentence can be reduced.

If you have something to say, say it.

I passed the first round audition!

They'll probably have passed you for being a lawyer.

Do you not have anything to say to me?

Say what?

No, there's no reason for you to hide it from me. Let's have a glass.

But do you know that you're a little strange these days? While you say you're not taking on new cases

you don't have principles or consistency. This isn't Kim Seok Joo.

Do you really have nothing

you want to tell me?

I have memory loss.

Your stress must be severe. When my stress is severe

I get incredibly forgetful, but this is surpassing that degree.

It's amnesia and it's come on more full scale than you think.

Amnesia?

Do you know Lee Sun Hee well?

Did Khan have his surgery?

Surgery?

Thank you, Park Sang Tae. You really are my closest friend.

You changed your watch. Not that but where did the old watch go?

It's at home. Why?

Then do you remember having borrowed $50,000 from me?

It's a joke. Aigoo, this is serious.

Now I can understand a bit.

There's no reason for you to look at me with those eyes.

The CEO knows and Intern Lee Ji Yun know also, right?

There was a reason that she acted so strangely.

How is it? I'm curious to know how you feel?

It's not the worst thing ever like you may imagine.

Well,

when I see you these days you don't look to be as bad as I think.

You laugh more often than before.

- I do? - Like now.

What kind of person was I from what you saw?

Most people who meet you say that it's hard to like you but that you're a trustworthy person.

That they trust you means that you fulfill their expectations.

I like you too, and I trust you.

I am somtimes amazed. The word that describes you is indifference.

If someone who doesn't know about you spreads a rumor about you, you don't care.

That is your strength and weakness at the same time. Is there anything else you're curious about?

Until I leave the law firm will this secret be kept?

Don't worry. Just trust me. But you're thinking to leave the company?

Because I can't work in this condition.

I only just found out this truth that even Intern Lee Ji Yun knows.

When we're best friends. My heart really hurts.

That friend is keeping the secret.

Fine. You two were of a special relationship.

Since it's between a man and a woman I guess I'll have to understand, right?

Intern Lee Ji Yun didn't say anything?

Say what?

You can't remember at all?

I don't remember... Do I have to remember something?

Was there something with me?

I asked her if by chance she dated me, but she jumped up and down saying that it never happened.

It's not that you dated...

No, it's nothing.

What is it?! You have to tell me so I know.

You have so many things you're hiding from me too. Why should I? Why only me?

Is it true that you're my friend? You?

The kids are so excited.

It's today. They said that they're having a public jury trial. They had prepared well for it.

She is making the situation worse.

You're going to go, right? You don't even have anything you're doing these days. Let's go to watch.

She's the intern that endured well under you.

Am I going to a school arts festival? Do I have time left over?

She has the lawyer qualifications but if she wants to stand up in Court

she needs to wait two months, but she fervently ran with her two feet.

She communicated quite a bit with the defendant so she will be helpful. Please allow her the opportunity to speak for him.

We will permit it for the benefit of the defendant.

We can consider it as a form of reading a supplication letter.

Thank you.

Today's trial will proceed as a public jury hearing.

We'll progress from 10 a.m. -12 p.m.

we'll eat lunch and then listen to arguments again starting at 1 p.m.

and before 3 p.m. we'll conclude the closing arguments

and we'll give the jury about one hour to deliberate.

If the jury members have any questions in the middle you can write it on a piece of paper.

Since the Defendant has admitted the charges

today this court will only cover the part concerning the sentence.

His grandmother passed away and the victim wasn't sad

so he was urging the victim and ended up stabbing him.

That this person had reason to stab someone, and his father no less,

does it make sense?

His mother was beaten by his father and he grew up being exposed to violence and assault.

He learned violence and he will have only had the desire to try to get away from it.

On days that Jong Soo's father came home

we heard the use of violence enough to be able to hear the sounds of our walls vibrating.

His body didn't show much evidence of taking beatings.

This is a record of his head fracture and treatment.

He usually enjoyed riding his motorcycle.

There are no records of the police responding to his home for domestic violence.

Before Jong Soo's mother died I heard the sounds of violence in the home

and that she was afraid, that he kept hitting her.

He said he was hit after he quit school.

A child who quits school and just rides the motorcycle at night,

wouldn't you all hit him?

This is a juror question. Tell us the height and weight of the defendant.

179 cm and 70 kg.

Lee Seong Cheol, at age 52, had a disability that made him limp.

The defendant is a young man

179 cm and with a weight of 70 kg.

With your physical condition, is lopsided abuse possible?

In what world could a child,

and that's from behind his back, stab his father with a knife. This is unacceptable.

So the law called the crime of killing one's father patricide

and placed a heavier sentence.

Two years ago the Defendant Lee Jong Soo's mother,

due to rib fracture and organ rupture, died.

After that the police arrested Lee Seong Cheol as the culprit.

As expected Lee Seung Cheol confessed that he himself, beat his wife to death.

He received a judgment of guilty of homicide in the first trial,

but he was released for lack of evidence in the second trial.

After Lee Seong Cheol returned home, the quiet house

started again with the sounds of violence. The neighbors all have testified.

I don't know whether Lee Seong Cheol killed his wife.

However the defendant Lee Jong Soo

may have believed that.

What kind of husband in this world

would confess to killing his wife that he didn't kill.

Even though at the time of death he had another alibi he still confessed.

Would there have been another reason?

If he killed him realizing that he was his father, then it's correct that it's patricide.

Life imprisonment is appropriate.

But after being exposed to continuous violence and his mother dying that way,

"I could die like this too," if that's the thought that came to his mind,

then that person wasn't his father but only a subject that he wanted to get away from.

That is all.

The decision will be reached in 45 minutes.

Yes!

You taught her well.

You're pretty good. You're better than I thought.

You touched the people's emotions well. You have the ability to persuade.

I want to watch until the judgment is rendered but I have work so I'll go first.

You've worked hard.

Most of jurors' opinion for the sentence was 3 to 7 years, and one person suggested 10.

The Cout, taking into consideration the jurors' suggestions,

renders a sentence of 5 years to Defendant Lee Jong Soo.

Stand up!

Thank you.

Thank you, Attorney.

Why do I feel like this?

You did well. We did everything we could.

Yes, Team Leader.

The father had an alibi.

He confessed even though he had an alibi.

I thought that the time of death was probably wrong. The Prosecution thought so too.

I asked what husband in this world would confess to killing his wife

when he didn't kill her?

It's a possible action to take if he was trying to protect someone.

You suspected from the first day, didn't you?

That for him to go that far to protect someone, it had to be his son.

Suspicion is suspicion. Nothing is proved.

In truth, it's possible that the father did kill the mother.

What did I do?

Why didn't you tell me?

Rooting out the crime one suspects and

reveal the crimes of your client?

That's not a lawyer's job but a prosecutor's.

Once you have a suspicion, taking your hands off that case,

that's the only method a lawyer has open to him/her.

Lawyer, you're not hungry? What do you think of having some Galbi Tang (Short Rib Soup) just in front here?

Let's do that.

I'm not hungry. Please go ahead. I'm sorry.

Yes, I'm at the court.

You have to come back urgently.

Did something happen?

Yoo Jeong Seon was just subpoenaed to the Prosecutor's office.
