But that's a real dilemma. Episode 20

He should maintain client confidentiality though.

Who would hire a lawyer that doesn't keep secrets?

No matter what the right answer is, leave them be.

Kids grow up by fighting.

On June 5th, 2017, Defendant Park Seong Eun

started fighting with her husband, Kang Jin Ho, the victim, in their own home.

She pushed Kang Jin Ho violently,

and as Kang Jin Ho fell down, he hit his head severely on the corner of the stairs,

and he suffered a skull fracture, which led to a brain hemorrhage

which caused his death. The defendant did not stop there.

She used a sharp knife

to stab the already-dead victim in the abdomen. It was a brutal act.

So we charge the defendant with Criminal Code, Article 259, Clause 1,

Death Resulting From Bodily Injury, and Criminal Code, Article 161, Damaging a Corpse.

Does the defense admit the facts of these charges?

Yes, Judge. The defendant admits to the facts of the case.

But please consider that this crime was caused from 20 years

of physical and verbal abuse, causing the defendant to become impaired with stress and depression.

I request this to be taken under consideration.

No way. Are you here to start a fight in the court?

You're right.

It's Attorney Ji's case, so I should let him do what he wants. Why would I annoyingly start a fight?

Seeing the brutality of the crime,

the impaired state due to stress and depression claimed by the defendant's attorney

is not acceptable.

And, on the day of the incident,

the defendant did not have any evidence or even a trace

of possible violence or assault.

So, because there was no violence on the day of the incident,

there is no connection between the murder and the husband's violence.

Although there was no violence on the day of the incident,

20 years of physical and verbal abuse from her husband

caused severe depression and trauma to the defendant.

Therefore, we must acknowledge that she was definitely impaired due to stress and depression.

Kang Jae Yeong! Wait a minute.

Is it okay if I ask you a question?

Investigator Bang. Can you please bring me all of the documents related to Park Seong Eun's case?

Sure.

- Work hard. - Oh, thank you.

Why is Attorney Eun like that?

I know this because I gave her a load of work when she was an intern in the prosecutor's office,

but if she does work that is difficult for her to handle,

or if she uses her head a lot, she becomes like that.

It's true. She was like that. Her head looked like a bouquet of flowers. (T.N. Wearing a flower in your hair is a sign of insanity.)

Her hair will become greasy, soon.

So when she works, she...

She doesn't wash herself much.

I see...

Attorney.

Yeah? You're here?

I did a lot of work for three days.

Oh, r-right. It looks like it.

I met Park Seong Eun, her son Kang Jae Yeong,

the doctor, the forensic (autopsy) pathologist, and oh, I also went to the crime scene.

Oh, y-you really d-did a lot.

R-Right, that's good. But, your h-hair

and your face, did you go around like this?

Yes. Is there a problem?

No, not at all. It's fine.

Of course there's no problem. It's very nice.

Then listen to this.

The first thing I thought was weird was at court.

I know this because I've been in prison,

but the one thing I hated the most was when my mom worried about me.

My mom and I pretended really hard that everything was okay.

But Park Seong Eun and Kang Jae Yeong were doing the same thing.

They were telling each other with their eyes,

"It's okay, don't worry about me."

Isn't that weird? They're that close, so

would her son really just sit by and let his mother take the blame for his crime?

I couldn't understand it.

I regret it so much. I should've been home.

If I had been, then this wouldn't have happened.

What are you talking about?

You're always like this, Father.

I wish you would just disappear!

This rascal, you! How dare you glare at your father like that, huh?

Do I need to hit you, too, for you to come back to your senses?

If you were going to be like this, why did you have me?

If you can't take responsibility, then why did you have me?

If you don't disappear, I will.

On the day of the incident, son Kang Jae Yeong said that he left his house with his father there.

That was the last time Kang Jae Yeong saw his father.

But, the last time that Park Seong Eun saw her husband

was him dead.

Park Seong Eun definitely thought that her son had murdered his father,

because he was supposed to come home.

So, in order to take the blame for the crime,

she stuck a knife into her dead husband's body, damaging a corpse.

Then, what happened in between those two time periods

that caused the husband Kang Jin Ho to die?

So I considered anything I could think of, burglary, an accident, etc.

It's the medication that my father used to take.

Why didn't anyone think to look at Kang Jin Ho's medical records?

Based on his personal physician's estimation, Kang Jin Ho probably

had a cerebral aneurysm which was the cause of the brain hemorrhage.

Please request a more detailed autopsy.

The preliminary autopsy focused on the external injuries, so they could have missed it.

So if my guess is correct, they will be able to catch this when they do another, more detailed autopsy.

Come here.

Don't misunderstand. This is... as your senior.

- That's an excuse, right? - Yeah.

Hey, really.

Eun Bong Hee, you really...

You're dirty.

But you're pretty.

Did I pay you back with my work?

That's right. You paid me back—

Yeah, you paid me back through your work. You did. You've improved a lot. You did well.

Yes.

The detailed autopsy report just came out.

The cause of death was a cerebral aneurysm which caused the brain hemorrhage. You were correct.

So we will withdraw the indictment on the charge of causing injury which resulted in death,

but the charge of damaging a corpse will be upheld.

That's a relief.

Oh, we summoned Park Seong Eun for the autopsy results.

You can visit her and tell her yourself if you want to.

Thank you, Prosecutor Cha.

Me too.

Whatever. I already know that neither of you are thankful.

Attorney Eun, what are you doing?

Where are you doing?

Hey, let go, let go of me right now.

Oh, why are you being friendly, Prosecutor Na? What do you want to scavenge off me?

What would I scavenge off you?

Oh, you are really like a hyena.

Hyena...?

Anyway, Attorney Eun, since when were you so close to Attorney No Ji Wook?

Hey, can't colleagues ask each other about this?

I think I warned you never to involve or even mention Attorney No, no matter what.

- So it was since the hotel, right? - What?

Weren't you at the hotel that time? To bust Hee Joon?

So you two began things from that time, right?

But why do you know about that?

What do you mean? Because I saw it...

Ha! You saw it?

No.

I got confused. I heard about it. Yeah.

That one with the yellow dress who was with Hee Joon,

that was you, huh?

No, but, why is that important now? The important thing now is—

Yeah, it's not important. Whether he cheated on me or not, who cares? I don't.

But! Even after that, you made me into an outcast,

and you dared to question my morals. Are you really a human?

You, I dare you to hit me. I will hit you back!

Hey, let go, you better let go.

You let go first! You let go first!

Hey, let go, let go.

Oh, hold on, hold on, let go, please.

What are you doing right now?

Why do you only make me let go?

Huh? Oh, right. Hey, you should let go, too.

Let go!

Let go, you too...

- Let go. - Let go, Eun Bong Hee.

Aish!

What are you doing? That is so crude.

Looks like you two are quite close.

- None of your business, seriously. - Ah, seriously.

Such unrefined behavior.

Oh, so embarrassing.

Take the next one, all right?

Ah, why is he doing that, anyway?

What? It looks nice.

Oh, I'm going to use the stairs, too.

Hey!

Omo, it's fine.

I have a lot of hair, so it's no big deal if some of it gets ripped out.

But it's not fine with me.

Don't tempt me, please.

So it worked a little?

Not at all.

What must I do

for it to work?

You stopped breathing again, huh?

Hey, I think it worked.

In any case, my heart feels very full.

Yeah, it should. You have the right.

I think mothers are really great.

How could someone sacrifice herself that much for her child?

I know, right? Mothers are great.

I like you, Attorney, but today, I want to see my mom more.

Eun Bong Hee, you said that you like me. Right?

No, I didn't.

Ah, I better go meet my mom today, too, just like you.

My daughter said that when she earned money, she would send me on a trip around the world.

My son already sent me on so many trips, I can't even count.

My daughter has such a beautiful heart. That is the important thing.

The heart that thinks about her mom.

Does my son not have a heart? Do you know how much he cares for his mom?

My daughter is no different.

Ahjumma, you keep sneaking in casual speech towards me.

Aiyoo, calling me "ahjumma," I'm so sick of it.

Mom!

Daughter!

I missed you.

Putting on a show when they see each other all the time. How irritating!

What brings you by?

To see you, Mom.

I miss my son, too.

Mom, I came.

Kim Mi Yeon 03/03/60-06/18/94

Your son... Ji Wook.

I'm sorry.

For not coming more often.

Wow, seriously... I really miss you today.

My mom.

Yes, hello?

Oh, hello. Have you been well?

Yes.

Oh, really?

Okay, I understand. Thank you very much. Yes.

Jeong Hyeon Soo

You know how I have an assault record?

I got a call earlier from the woman whom I had helped.

She said that someone came to see her and has been asking about that incident and about me.

Ah, this... How did you know?

Ah, seriously. If you were offended, I apologize. I'm really sorry.

No, I don't think there's any need to apologize, but I am curious about one thing.

Why do you keep on watching me? Are you suspecting me?

What did I do wrong? Did I even do anything?

I really like all the attorneys sincerely so why are you picking on me?

- You lied. - Lie—

Attorney, have you never lied in your life?

On average, they say that people lie at least 10 times a day or 200 at most.

You can't live as a human being without lying.

That's the truth. Do you know that?

I didn't know that. Human beings are known to lie that much?

Well, fine. Let's say that's true.

But a lie... isn't it also important

what kind of a lie it is?

What did I lie about exactly?

Do you have an idea, and that's why you're being like this?

No, I don't know.

If I knew, I wouldn't be sitting around like this. Don't you think?

But seriously, if you were offended, I apologize.

It's out of habit from my prosecutor days,

so if something bothers me, I have to make sure to check it out.

Fine. To be honest, I did check, but I found nothing.

And the case is over. The end.

From now on, I won't go around asking about you anymore. Really.

- I think you're lying. - Ha, you're quick-witted.

Oh, I am pretty quick-witted.

Well, I don't think it's of high quality.

Really?

Later, let's meet up together with Attorney Eun.

I would like that... but I don't have time these days

since I'm really busy, but I'll consider it.

Do that then.

You should drink it quickly. All the ice is going to melt.

My drink got cold.

Go Chan Ho. Go Chan Ho is the culprit?

Did something bad happen?

Huh?

No.

You look... full of worry.

Not at all.

There's... nothing you want to tell me?

Not yet. No. Like what?

Well... you look like you have something to say.

No, there isn't.

To conceal a big lie,

there are times when people confess to a small truth.

Eun Bong Hee.

I just want to talk to you about anything.

Should we talk about our family?

I went to see my mom earlier.

She must have been happy to see your face.

I'm here, Mother.

Omo! Son!

I was on my way back from visiting Mother.

Is that so?

Actually, your mother appeared in my dream last night.

Is that so?

I have two mothers.

My mother right now was originally my mom's friend.

Oh my goodness!

How can he be so handsome, manly,

pretty, lovable, and smart?

You even know that he's smart?

Of course! You can tell right away.

This is my son too.

You have two mothers, okay?

Oh, how pretty!

When I was young, both my parents died due to a fire.

Father passed away first.

And my mother, who was rushed to the hospital... not long after...

she passed away.

Now, I'm your mother.

Ji Wook's mom. Okay?

Don't cry.

My son, my precious son!

You're almost too precious to look at.

Oh, Mother, please stop it. People really think that I'm a mama's boy.

So? Can't they think that?

Definitely not, obviously.

Why do you keep crawling in here, CEO Byeon?

Can I not come to my wife's store? Isn't that so, Wook?

Doesn't she have reason enough to do that?

Your mother is severe, you jerk. She won't even let me come home.

When did I not let you come home? I just said I don't want you to appear before eyes since I hate seeing you.

So why, Madam Hong?

I don't know what happened, but it's definitely CEO Byeon's fault.

This jerk, you always call me "CEO Byeon," while it's "Mother" for his mom.

Because, no matter what, I'm always on Mother's side.

Of course!

CEO Byeon, why not buy about 10 pizzas to take with you?

I see.

Yeah.

Me too.

I... have two fathers.

Is that so?

I'll tell my story at another time when there's a chance.

Okay.

Should we go inside now and sleep?

What?

No, wh-what I mean is sleeping in our separate rooms...

What are you thinking right now? Are you crazy?

Oh, come on. Geez, Eun Bong Hee, really.

♫ On a good day like this I keep thinking about it ♫

♫ Enough to surprise someone with dulled senses, like me ♫

♫ A world with sharp edges that felt hateful ♫

Sleep well.

♫ Transformed into a beautiful sculpture ♫

- If... - Huh?

If you can't sleep, just imagine that I am by your side,

if you want to. Or don't.

♫ Instantly, a moment ♫

Why can't you just be by my side?

No!

♫ I spend a season called 'you' ♫

♫ How shall I say the words? ♫

♫ That a day with you feels like a minute. ♫

♫ I wish that every day becomes that moment ♫

They go so well together.

Cute.

The person I love most in the world, Lady Park Yeong Soon / She was so happy her picture came out well, she is so cute. I want to pamper her. I'm sorry, and I love you.
