Original subtitles

So Eun, it's me.

(Episode 27)

My gosh, I'm sorry. You were worried, right?

No.

I fell on my way home and hurt the back of my head.

Gosh, I had a really bad headache.

I ended up sleeping through the day.

I'm really sorry. I didn't even call you.

My gosh.

Did you get hurt badly?

A little.

You were supposed to call when you got hurt.

I know.

Did something happen?

People from the administration office came.

They took everything except for the case file for tomorrow.

Why... Why? Why would they take my case files?

Because you submitted your letter of resignation.

- I was going to tell you. - When?

Before or after you submitted your letter of resignation?

I'm sorry I couldn't tell you in advance.

You promised to stay until I finished my training.

I'm sorry.

I only have less than 10 days left.

But you're quitting.

See you tomorrow.

I thought you might worry, so I came by to see you.

I was worried about you all day long.

I asked myself why I was so worried about you.

I was so worried to a point where I couldn't do anything...

which made me worry about myself.

Gosh, don't let this upset you.

I'll go visit you on the last day of your training with flowers.

With the biggest bouquet of flowers.

You're not my instructing judge anymore.

No, I'm not.

You won't give me work.

I have nothing to report to you about.

No.

You're not my superior, and I'm not your subordinate.

I never thought of you as my subordinate.

Anyway,

you're not my judge, and I'm not your trainee officer.

I'm going to go. See you tomorrow.

Spend the night here.

All throughout my life,

I never had a goal.

To me, having a good day...

was the best.

But now, I have a goal.

It's going on a trip with you, So Eun.

And cooking you breakfast is another.

I want to set up the whole table, so you can eat...

when you wake up.

And...

cooking you dinner.

Waiting for you to come home after preparing dinner,

so you can eat when you come home.

And...

going for a walk after our dinner near our house.

The goals you have...

are pretty awesome.

They are too awesome,

so I can't achieve them now.

Why not?

I'm not your subordinate anymore.

When I'm confident about myself...

When that time comes,

I'll make sure I achieve my goals then.

It may take a while,

but could you wait for me?

Are you confessing your feelings to me?

Or are you ending things with me?

I have become to like you so much...

that I hate myself.

I don't understand what you mean by that.

I will tell you everything tomorrow.

Everything.

Mom wants you to visit her this weekend.

Have a nice life.

I put the money for my month-long stay.

(To Han Soo Ho)

(50 dollars)

(Courthouse)

The defendant, Lee Soon Chul, did cause physical harm to the victim.

The defendant, Lee Soon Chul, did cause physical harm to the victim.

Moreover, the defendant also caused monetary damage as well.

Judge Han...

will be working only until the end of the week.

He'll be on leave after today.

It's like the final leave you get in the army. You get it, right?

- Yes. - No.

Look up "final leave in the army".

Even if the judge is resigning, nothing will change for us.

Don't cry or make a fuss for no good reason.

Let's stay calm, okay?

Okay.

Are you crying?

No, but why isn't the judge here?

He went to the prosecution to get investigated.

Why?

He made a report in court.

They must investigate since he made the report.

You should've investigated in the first place. Seriously.

You personally made a report, Your Honor.

And it was on the news as well.

I must do my due diligence to save face.

Lee Ho Sung, Choi Min Gook, Kang In Gyu.

Can't you tell from how we requested...

they be held in detention?

Nice. You're so diligent.

This ends the questioning of the person bringing the charge.

Do it right. I'll be watching.

- I have a personal comment to make. - We're not close enough for that.

Listen anyway!

You're not a judge anymore.

If you keep being rude to someone more senior than you,

you'll never make a living. Especially since...

I'm a prosecutor.

You're scaring me.

Don't open a law office in my district.

I will trample on...

every one of your cases.

I'll make you...

avoid even my shadow, regardless of where I go.

You know how easy it is for us...

to destroy one little lawyer, right?

- Is it? - You'll see...

how it feels to go...

from being called "Your Honor" to being nothing but a lawyer.

I should go and rip up my letter of resignation.

It hasn't been processed yet.

I should remain as a judge for the rest of my life.

Should I let you see...

whether frost sets in the courthouse...

when a judge has a grudge?

Go ahead.

Don't try so hard to threaten just anyone.

Your face itself is a threat. It's scarier than a knife.

Let's not see each other again.

Let's see each other often.

Practice smiling.

You look like you'd be cute if you smiled.

Later.

Why that...

There's no one in the legal world that didn't golf with my father...

or eat tuna with him.

There are too many people involved in the golf ball incident...

to investigate it.

What is it?

My father's tax evasion.

When he bought land and buildings,

he evaded paying millions of dollars in taxes.

And legal fees he received in cash...

weren't reported on his income tax. That adds up to a million.

Why are you doing this?

My father is defending Lee Ho Sung.

Wouldn't it be better to send them off together?

Why don't you do it yourself? Why are you going through us?

How could a son personally attack his own father?

That's depraved.

I'll release it when the time is right to maximize impact.

Let's have dinner or something with the chairman.

Sure, let's.

(Decision)

"It is true that Lee Soon Chul assaulted the victim,"

"which resulted in injuries."

"Therefore, the destruction of property is also true."

"Although the victim was inebriated,"

"his life was not endangered..."

"to warrant such force..."

"and..."

Is it very different from what you wrote?

I didn't write a decision.

Pardon? But you need to go to the trial now.

What will you do?

I'll just read this.

You'll read what a trainee wrote?

This is the best decision.

Let's go.

This is really the last day, right?

My last act as a judge.

[VIU Ver] SBS E27 Dear Judge "Stay for the Night" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

All rise.

Okay.

Please be seated.

Here is the judgment of the court.

Case number 2018G237.

Defendant Lee Soon Chul.

(Clerk's Table)

"It is true that Lee Soon Chul assaulted the victim,"

"which resulted in injuries."

"The resulting destruction of property is also true."

"Although the victim was inebriated,"

"his life was not endangered to warrant such force..."

"to restrain an inebriated person,"

"and such force was excessive."

"However, all of this was within the procedures..."

"required of paramedics in the interest..."

"of protecting the lives and safety of the people."

"There is no doubt that the defendant was sincere..."

"in trying to do his best."

"The defendant faced countless similar situations..."

"and acknowledged that his actions may have..."

"legal ramifications. Nonetheless, he prepared for an emergency,"

"which was an act of bravery arising from his conviction..."

"to save the person's life."

"The law cannot punish justified bravery."

"Such a person should be appreciated..."

"and thanked."

"Thus, the defendant Lee Soon Chul..."

"is found not guilty."

It's over.

You may go.

All rise.

Court...

dismissed.

I'll be outside.

Who told you to go out?

Both of you, come here.

You have less than 10 days left, correct?

Yes, sir.

Come to my chambers starting tomorrow.

And study the precedents before you go back.

Why are you staring? He asked me for this favor.

Even if it's less than 10 days, you still need an instructing judge.

Yes, I understand.

Fill out her evaluation form since she worked under you.

- I already did. - Is that so?

(Evaluation Form)

(Grade: S)

What? You gave her perfect scores on every category?

Is she that good?

You can't find someone like her.

You'll have the highest score in your class.

Let's have a drink after your leave. Don't try to weasel your way out.

Okay.

Come here, you punk. Goodness.

You read the decision without changing a single word.

It felt like I was giving the decision.

Thank you for taking my opinion into consideration.

- I'll be on my way now. - Hold on.

- Try this on. - Pardon?

No, no. How could I?

- It's fine. Put this on. - How could I put that on?

The robe is as sacred as the court.

Not everyone can wear it.

It's just a piece of clothing. A black robe.

Wearing it won't make you a judge.

Not wearing it won't stop you from becoming a judge.

But still. I can't.

I really can't. I won't put that on.

I really wanted to see you in the robe.

That's all you need me to do, right?

No.

- Let me take a photo. - No way. Have you gone insane?

I apologize for calling you insane.

But you can't take a photo.

Can't you give me a photo I can cherish for the rest of my life?

(My Oldest Son)

- It's me. - Are you not busy now?

Did you eat?

I can't go down there this weekend.

Don't wait for me.

Come down here with your brother. I have something to tell you.

- I can't go this weekend. - Just come when I tell you to.

I resigned.

I handed in my resignation letter.

What... Why...

Why... Why would you quit...

Mom.

How could you not have discussed it with me first?

Don't be like that.

I'm still your son even if I'm not a judge.

I'll tell you everything after I get things in order.

(Choi Min Gook)

(Assault, fraud, violation of housing code)

(Rape and assault)

(Choi Min Gook)

My sister was sexually assaulted.

I thought that jerk would be punished for sure.

But as the trial progressed, it got weirder and weirder.

My sister became a shameless woman who tried to get settlement money...

after failing to flirt with a med student.

(When only two of them went into the cottage, she could have...)

(Although she was able to resist, she didn't physically resist.)

That jerk had six attorneys.

His family must have been loaded.

Right. He was the son of that famous Director Choi Byung Heon.

Choi Min Gook.

(The defendant is sentenced to pay a 1,500 dollar fine.)

My goodness, hello. This is Angry Han Kang Ho.

Spare me some of your time.

Of course, I know. I know that you're so righteous...

you don't meet people for free.

Let me come over.

Han Soo Ho, that jerk. He made a mess even on his last day.

The investigation of the report was today, correct?

An active judge came...

all the way to my office and went through the investigation.

He didn't have to follow up on it, but he did.

He's good at putting on a show.

Since he made the report, he'll go through the investigation too?

Reporting crimes...

to the prosecutor in court doesn't happen every day.

Even the general prosecutor got involved in this.

He told me that we should play the protector of justice this time.

Everything is going smoothly starting with getting the warrant.

The press will be on our side too.

Why don't you become a star prosecutor with this case?

A star prosecutor?

That gives me headaches.

I'll get more headaches if I stand out of my organization.

That would be the case if you have a minor role,

but when you become a top star, you'll be untouchable.

"Untouchable"?

Want to bet?

Whether you become a star prosecutor or not.

You should become a star lawyer.

Your life ought to shine after you surpass your father.

The documents regarding my father's tax evasion will be handed over.

Please take care of the case.

He doesn't even know the world is changing...

and only holds onto Osung.

What about Han Soo Ho? Is he going to somewhere nice?

I'm not sure yet.

I looked into it, but he's not joining law firms or conglomerates.

I knew it.

Who would want to accept a judge that causes problems?

He'll probably have to make a living by working as a mere attorney.

Watch me.

I'm going to crush that jerk into little pieces.

(Han Soo Ho)

(Han Soo Ho)

(Judge's Chambers)

We prepared this for you.

We wanted you to fulfill a wish wherever you're going next.

Thank you.

Although I worked here for more than a year,

it's only now that I've started talking to you.

- Thank you, Your Honor. - Really?

When we were gathering signatures to switch to permanent positions,

you didn't sign it. I was upset and hated you for it.

I didn't know you were such a nice guy. I'm sorry.

- I didn't? - The candle is going to burn down.

I told you not to make a fuss. Why are you so chatty?

Blow it out, Your Honor. Enjoy your days off.

Tell me if the paperwork for...

the administration office is a hassle.

From the day you came to this office after you were appointed...

to the Individual Criminal Department...

Darn it.

Come on.

Make a wish.

(Individual Criminal Department 40)

Where will you go?

I'm going to look for a job.

As a chef?

I'll come over later.

I'll bring a gift, and I'll cook for you.

Bye.

(Episode 28 will air shortly.)

The investigation of the upper class' drug party...

is gaining momentum.

Unprecedentedly, the prosecution issued arrest warrants...

after launching their investigation.

As of now, Director Lee Ho Sung of Osung Group,

Choi Min Gook of Choi Hospital,

and Professor Kang In Gyu of Hankook University...

have arrived at court for their examinations...

regarding the validity of the arrest warrants.

We have a reporter on the field.

We should spray this on them and cleanse them completely.

They're corrupt to their bones.

Is it true that you fabricated the news circulation?

All right. Let us go in and have the interview.

Is it true that you habitually took drugs?

- Who was the supplier? - I heard you tried to cover it up.

Is there anything you'd like to say?

You must answer questions for us to write articles.

All right. We'll give you the press release later.

Let's go now.

You're on probation. Share a comment with us.

- Please answer our questions. - Tell us!

Gosh, this is sweet.

A long time ago, when I was wanted,

you got me an identification card of a Chinese-Korean.

It was very effective in dodging the police searches.

Thanks to you, I got one more prior.

(Han Kang Ho)

You have more than 500 dollars left in your balance.

You charged me 2,000 dollars when everyone got it for 1,500.

Why are you asking me about this now?

I told you to take your time with the ID,

but you were the one who got me the ID quickly.

You have to do something about that temper of yours.

Hey, bring me a tool or weapon that I can hit him with.

A big one or a small one?

Gosh, forget about it. What is she saying now?

Forget it. We don't need it.

I'm bringing you a big one because I owe you one.

If you don't take this one, you'll regret it.

Go ahead.

What is this?

Even the long-term disappearance squad...

couldn't find her.

No matter how much I think about this,

she must be living under someone else's identity.

Do you think an American identity or African identity?

It has to be Chinese-Korean.

Are you telling me to open up our books?

Yes.

Anyway, you're the best in the world at catching on things.

I'll do the groundwork to find her, just give me the list.

Everyone with similar appearances and around the same age.

With us,

selling and buying are both confidential.

Opening up my book is the same as risking my neck.

Are you telling me to risk my life?

You know that my brother is a judge, right?

Yes, I do.

A lot of the guys fell for it when you said that...

you were going to cut a deal in secret and lower the sentences.

My brother will...

join the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at the Blue House.

The problem with the refugees,

crimes committed by the foreign workers,

and illegal aliens' unlawful changing of status.

Things are complicated in Korea.

My brother is going to take care of all these problems as he oversees...

the investigation with the prosecution.

Organizations that sell and buy foreign nationals' identities...

are first on his list.

But if you find that lady,

he promised me that he would skip your organization.

How could I trust you?

She's the older sister of my brother's girlfriend.

He said he must find her even if it means making a deal with you.

This is a secret operation, so no one has to know.

He will join them after he resigns to make sure no one finds out.

If you don't trust me, call the courthouse.

Ask what Judge Han Soo Ho is up to now.

What did they say? He resigned, didn't he?

Is your brother really joining the Blue House?

If you don't have faith, there's no future.

If the prosecution gets ahold of us,

I'll put your name on the list with the Grim Reaper.

I know. I'll keep quiet.

Just copy the list for me.

If anything goes wrong,

I'll kill you before I leave this world.

You're doing a good deed. You'll have glory in the end.

I'll pay for the copy.

1,000 dollars.

Give me the number for the attorney.

I'm going to file for a retrial.

Even if my brother killed my mother,

it's better to stay as a clueless fool.

I can't let him be a depraved son.

I'll take care of it.

Wherever you're going, I want you to live a good life.

How can I live a good life?

What should I do?

You should make that decision.

Jae Ho probably committed suicide because of me, right?

I'm done talking to you. I'm leaving now.

He died because of me.

So I have to die too.

But I guess I wanted to live.

That's why I made a reason for me to live.

Killing Han Soo Ho.

No reason is as strong as one to kill someone.

After that,

my sense of guilt disappeared just like that.

There's no point in talking about this.

How am I supposed to live my life?

Go to the bathhouse and sweat it out.

Dip your body in the icy cold water.

Then you'll come to your sense.

After that, observe how other people...

live their lives.

You can live just like they do.

I'll call you after I meet with the lawyer.

We did nothing wrong.

Among the things we did, killing no one...

could have been the best thing we ever did.

(Yooksoodang)

Are you running for office?

Only presidential candidates stuff their faces so aggressively.

Hey.

Give me a job here.

I can sleep with you in the room in the back.

You can pay me minimum wage.

But if my new menu items do well, pay me an incentive.

I'll give you another bowl, so stuff your face and go home.

I hear you're the manager here.

Sure, you can say that, I guess.

What about it?

After getting interviewed by the manager,

isn't an interview with the owner next?

You punk. Go half-psycho. Don't go full-psycho.

Did you get smacked in the head before you came?

Ma'am.

I'd like to interview for the chef's position.

You were in the slammer with him, right?

Come on, now. I was there much more than he was.

There were some unfair incidents.

I got into fights because I couldn't control my temper.

I once got caught...

threatening someone for my money that he scammed from me.

I do have priors,

but they weren't for violent crimes or crimes against humanity.

I don't want someone like you even as a customer,

so please leave.

If you keep hanging out with people like this, you get out too.

She said to get out, punk!

I'm confident in my cooking.

I have a stellar idea for a new menu item, too.

I have a plan to make this a socially aware corporation.

Don't believe anything he says. Everything he says is a lie.

He has the tongue of a politician.

I don't want to get nasty in my restaurant.

Get out.

I have money that I received recently from a large corporation...

for compensation and my experience.

I have 30,000 dollars.

I'll buy 30,000 dollars' worth of gukbap.

I'll pay in advance.

I don't care if it's an orphanage or a nursing home.

Please donate 100 bowls every day.

Like a socially aware corporation.

We are proud of having a clean kitchen,

but I'm not sure how you would like working there, sir.

- Would you like to take a look? - What are you doing?

You don't know where he got this money!

I'll help you to the best of my abilities...

in your developing the new menu item.

Let me tidy up the kitchen.

Bring Mr. Han in after a few minutes.

I'll put this somewhere safe.

"Mr. Han"? He's not worthy of such regards.

Anyway, where did you get that money?

Is it dirty or clean?

Go to Hanyoung group's managing director, Mr. Choi,

and ask him whether or not it's clean.

I'm sure he'll say it's purer than snow.

Why do you keep showing up and messing up my life?

Please take me in...

until I become a good guy.

Make sure I don't get any bad ideas.

Are you in love?

(50 dollars)

Freak.

I'm busy.

The warrants for Lee Ho Sung and everyone were issued.

We're on red alert.

Will you come over afterward?

Why?

I need to tell you something. I want to hear something, too.

- Same here. - Will you come?

No. All I'll say are curses, and all I'll hear are excuses.

Our relationship is too shaky to use our emotions on things like that.

Let's talk in person.

- No, I won't go. - Eun.

Soo Ho. Later.

Not when I just want to see you,

but when I feel like I'll die if I don't see you.

I'll go then.

Okay. I'll wait.

You may have to wait a while. You may even have to wait forever.

That's fine.

I'll wait, and if that doesn't work, I'll go to you.

[VIU Ver] SBS E28 Dear Judge "Let Me Be a Chef" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

And Judge Han Soo Ho that I see...

is a good person.

(Judge Han Soo Ho that I see...)

I'll take one of everything from here to here.

Okay.

- What's this? - I didn't know what you liked,

so I got them all.

What?

This is really good.

This is super popular.

This has a nice scent.

- And this... - This is a waste.

Why did you buy so much?

I feel like I received all the gifts I'd receive in my lifetime.

I told you, just the one thing that I like is sufficient.

Now, tell me.

You said you'd tell me everything today.

After we eat.

Then, let's wash the dishes, take an evening stroll,

and I'll tell you over a beer at a bar.

What is it?

I'm saying, let's eat first.

Okay. Today's dinner.

Go rest.

Let's cook together.

You know how to cook?

Just rest.

Still, I'll help you. What should I do first?

- This? - Sure.

- Careful. - Okay.

Sorry!

- It stings. - Wipe it with this.

It burns.

The head of the National Tax Service called.

Someone reported me.

About what?

How did they know?

The tax matter became a little complicated.

Is it serious?

I couldn't prevent Lee Ho Sung from being detained,

the golf ball incident, and now, this tax matter.

I guess...

even Oh Dae Yang can face a crisis like this.

Don't worry.

We have over 50 tax attorneys at our firm.

You handle it.

Which...

You will act as my defense counsel.

You'll supervise the council.

I'm sorry.

- Is this funny to you? - Yes, it is.

You don't trust me.

You've never given me a proper assignment.

You always treated me like a kid or a fool.

All of a sudden, I'll supervise the council?

Stop acting like a child.

Why not?

Do you believe in me now?

You're my son.

Do you believe in me?

Assign your case to the attorney you can believe in.

- Be careful. - Okay.

(Sang Chul)

This is about your sister.

If you want to hear it, meet me in front of your house.

- Your Honor. - Yes?

Let me just step out for a moment.

Make it quick. I just need to set the table.

Okay, I will.

What about my sister?

Before that, let me talk about myself.

Okay.

Everything worked out how I wanted.

The cases, the law firm, and my future...

all worked out.

Except for one.

What is that?

You.

Stop it.

If you come to me, everything will be perfect.

I'm not some kind of a part that completes you.

Everyone is a part to someone.

You and I are both pieces of some person.

I only came out because it has to do with my sister.

If you have nothing to tell me, I'll go back in.

What does Han Soo Ho mean to you?

I'm leaving.

You and Han Soo Ho can't work out anyway.

Must I face humiliation from someone like you?

Why?

Am I insignificant of a part?

You two...

How could you...

Han Soo Ho was the witness who testified at your sister's trial.

You didn't know, did you?

I had completely forgotten about that too.

Han Soo Ho and Choi Min Gook...

I even forgot they graduated from the same school.

Witness.

What's your relationship with the defendant?

He's a friend from a small group formed of students from...

the joint med school and law school student organization...

who were interested in photography.

I'm sure he must've gotten some pocket money from Choi Min Gook.

Then you should've heard the victim screaming for help...

or pushing him off of her.

- I did not. - He's lying!

He's lying!

I screamed as loudly as I could, but no one came!

I said I didn't want to!

You're sure you didn't hear her scream...

or shout "No! Stop!" Correct?

Yes.

You evil monster!

You evil jerks.

Let go! Let go of me!

Ji Yeon!

His testimony...

made the defendant not guilty.

Not only do you trust and learn from him,

but you also respect and like him?

Isn't that funny?

I didn't even think that you'd make such a fool of yourself.

Did you just abandon me?

An opportunity to practice law,

to live in luxury as a housewife,

and to have comfort...

I told you having me...

is equivalent to having everything I just mentioned.

The person you have reached is not...
