(This drama is set in an imaginary dystopian Korea,)

(and all people, organizations, and incidents are fictitious.)

(Episode 8)

The only thing that can be thoroughly manipulated...

is the system itself.

This is the system.

A system has no chance against power.

Power can control a system however it likes.

(Establishment of order, promotion of morality)

The fire that killed my brother.

They abandoned others to save their skin.

I understood that much.

Humans did what a human would.

That's humanity.

But something really shocked me.

They came to the hospital.

To see me.

I could've saved your brother's whole family,

but the flames...

How did you manage to get out of that fire pit?

I am so very impressed.

I thought everyone would die in that fire.

The heavens saved us.

I thought...

so much of my poor boy...

who I'd never said a kind word to.

I'm sorry for your loss,

but I remember his spirit.

The rest of us, the living, must continue his legacy.

The property he donated.

Our foundation will spend it wisely.

We will share it with love.

We must live the rest of our lives like we got a second chance.

We must live with a grateful, thankful heart.

- That's what we must do. - Yes.

- We must. - We must share even more.

With thanks. You can trust us.

- Yes. - Amen.

We share an experience.

We know very well how you feel. Why wouldn't we?

We were in the same boat, in the same fire.

We are in the same boat now. This is destiny.

Yes, that's right.

- We must be good. - There was no one like Isaac.

He was a great person.

I'm so grateful.

He was very generous.

Wow, isn't the weather lovely?

It's perfect for a picnic.

They had no qualms at all.

They were serious.

I can't stand such people being hypocrites too.

It makes me nauseous.

They'll be just the same right now.

"What did we do wrong?"

"The project's to revive the economy."

"We're being persecuted for something minor."

"This is a political conspiracy."

"We must not give in to this."

If the devil really does exist among us,

it would be...

the self-pity of the powerful.

You look like a mess.

Think only of yourself right now.

Not something silly.

Inmate number 70618, Doh Young Choon.

Sir, why are you in there?

Sir. Come out. Sir!

(Inmate Personnel File)

- We are... - We are...

- power! - power!

- We are... - We are...

- power! - power!

To achieve his goal,

would he not use another man's pain?

If the devil really did exist among us.

Some foundation employees agreed to testify?

Is there anything useful?

There's a member from Accounting.

Oh, really?

They said they'd call me back by yesterday,

but they haven't yet.

Their phones are turned off too.

So I’m trying to figure out what happened.

I'll call you back.

(The late Seo Jeong Hak,)

(Board Chairman of the Social Responsibility Foundation)

Here is Mr. Seo's last message...

for all of us.

(Social Responsibility Foundation)

I apologize for causing public concern.

My carelessness has brought all this about.

I was wrong to underestimate the greed of human beings.

I was wrong to allow my subordinates to have too much power.

Moreover, I was wrong to trust people too easily.

I have made irreparable mistakes.

I apologize to the people who trusted and loved me.

I have no excuse.

She's even crazier than I thought.

All right.

Now I'll go and prepare a statement to the nation.

So you take care of that witch.

- Get it done right. - Certainly.

Now if you'll excuse me.

Sir, are you leaving so soon?

Keep up the good work.

- Sir, we're depending on you. - Good night, sir.

Come on.

You're amazing, Ms. Jung.

I've worked for him for years.

Okay, then.

So tell me...

why we should take up your offer instead of his.

Let's hear what you have to say.

Isn't it obvious?

He's a highly respected figure in our country.

Like he mentioned earlier,

if he releases a statement to the nation,

it will affect public opinion.

And?

But what if...

he leaves his last words before he takes his own life,

how influential do you think it'll be?

Are you saying him being dead is more valuable...

than him being alive?

Gosh, you're scary, Ms. Jung.

I didn't know you're this type of woman.

You give me the chills.

Gosh, you're scary, but I like it.

My carelessness...

has brought all this about.

I apologize to the people who trusted and loved me.

I have no excuse.

From now on,

I will handle every single matter of the foundation,

and I will take responsibility for everything that happens.

The first thing I will do...

is to catch Jung Sun Ah who stole the donation.

I will catch that criminal no matter what...

and make sure she pays for her crimes.

Wherever she is, I will find her no matter what...

and make her...

Jung Sun Ah who stole the donation.

I will catch that criminal...

Wherever she is...

First thing I will do...

is to...

To the people who trusted and loved me.

I have no excuse.

All done.

Mr. Seo has lived without any regret on his conscience.

He has taken his subordinates' guilt...

on himself and left us.

These are the people who are responsible for this.

(The Foundation's finance and accounting team)

When the foundation got suspicious of them,

they destroyed all financial data...

and suddenly disappeared.

It turned out they were rebel forces...

who got into the foundation systematically.

We will find them and make them pay for their crimes...

wherever they are.

(The Foundation's finance and accounting team)

What on earth are they up to?

These are the people who were going to tip us off.

And now they're framing them.

but these people embezzled the money.

This is the story they came up with.

Then we should release a statement to refute this and demand...

"They're awful."

"They're so cruel."

"It's too harsh."

"How could they do that when they're mourning over his death?"

This country shows generosity in death.

They will use the media...

to create an atmosphere of grief over Seo Jeong Hak's death...

so that no one will ever argue against his last words.

They turned a crisis into an opportunity.

This is how the ones who conquer the world work.

Watch carefully.

These people embezzled a vast sum of money...

and suddenly disappeared.

But surprisingly...

a radical organization that led Gwanghwamun Riot...

was behind them.

What is more surprising about them...

is that most of them...

were foreigners without Korean citizenship.

This could be a conspiracy of a foreign power...

to put this country in a state of turmoil.

It looks highly suspicious.

The authority caught some of the members...

and are interrogating them.

But a big sum of money has already been sent to the organization.

So we don't know when and where...

they'll engage in terrorism and violence.

Everyone, we are in a state of emergency.

And who's responsible for this?

The previous administration's lackluster approach to crime...

is to blame.

I will not only eradicate this poisonous organization...

but also prevent a crisis like this from ever happening again.

And I will strongly enforce law and order.

I promise to build a safer country...

for the people.

This is a declaration!

My loving and respectful fellow citizens.

This country...

will never be trampled by criminals again.

Korea will never be fragile again!

With our new chairwoman of the foundation,

Jung Sun Ah...

I promise you to make Korea...

stronger and safer!

Jung Sun Ah!

(Social Responsibility Foundation)

What can we do against them...

if we follow the rule of principles and procedure?

Like I said, there's no justice in reality.

There's only a game.

A dreadful unjust game.

You must be thinking of your parents but keep it together.

Because it seems like the game has started.

It's begun.

(Thug)

(Thug)

- Soo Hyun. - Hey, Ga On.

Do you know what time it is?

Did you miss me that much?

- Yes. - Yes?

Yes.

I miss you, Soo Hyun.

You came to the hospital every day to see me.

But you still miss me?

I said I'll take you out for a drink when you're out of the hospital.

Taking me out for a drink is good.

I barely kept myself from drinking.

I'll buy all the drinks you want.

- I like you this way. - I know.

Gosh, it hurts.

- What? Where does it hurt? - The place where I got injured.

The place where you got injured?

Come here. Let's go.

- Soo Hyun. - Yes?

Didn't you injure your head?

- Shut it. - Yes, ma'am.

It tastes good today.

What are you waiting for? Bottoms up.

So when are you going to tell me?

Tell you what?

You're under a lot of stress right now.

No, not really.

I wanted to have a drink with you when you're out of the hospital.

Kim Ga On.

I just wanted to see your face.

I really don't want to talk about it.

How can that be? Is that even possible?

I saw him with my own eyes.

How can I ever forget his face?

But how is that...

Even the prison warden can't pull off something like that.

Not even the head of the Korea Correctional Service.

It has to be someone higher up. Much higher up.

That's exactly what Kang Yo Han said.

It makes sense.

It does make perfect sense.

Maybe it makes too much sense.

When I investigate,

I become suspicious if a story makes perfect sense.

What could be Kang Yo Han's intention?

He knows about your past in such detail.

He took you there...

and presented it to you like a magic trick.

What if... Hypothetically speaking,

what if there were...

an ulterior motive behind all this?

What if Kang Yo Han were stirring you up to drag you into this?

You don't disappoint.

I'll get to the bottom of it.

I'll find out who's behind all this.

Once you get involved, it becomes an official investigation.

But I can't trust anyone above you.

- Still... - Just give me some time.

I'll play along with Kang Yo Han...

and find out more.

Okay?

It must be hard for you, Ga On.

To be honest, I was quite surprised.

By how shameless...

the person behind this is.

Shameless?

Whoever did this isn't afraid of getting caught.

The substitute doesn't even resemble the real one.

My mom and dad...

My mom and dad passed away like that,

and their only son...

doesn't even know what really happened.

I can't...

What's with the music here?

Sun Ah, you did really well.

I love you.

Are you that proud of yourself?

Of course.

You of all people must know how hard I've worked.

How I've worked my way up from the disgusting gutter.

I do. You have my admiration for today.

You sure are incredible.

You think so?

You're right.

Jung Sun Ah is one incredible woman.

Anyway, are you going somewhere?

Yes.

I'm thinking of paying a visit to Master Yo Han.

Today's news.

President Heo Joong Se has announced a series of measures...

to improve law and order.

After witnessing the effectiveness of the live court show...

Stop. Let me look inside your backpack.

Stand still.

- Put your arms up. - Hand it over.

Arms up.

(A strong law and order, a safer Korea)

Things seem to be getting more and more serious.

The higher-ups have ordered a tighter control.

I don't know what's happening to the world.

You're obviously too busy carrying out an important task...

to notice anything.

I'm the only fool here.

Judge Oh, what do you...

Forget it.

(Call 110 to make a report.)

The sentencing guidelines will be revised...

to expand the heavy sentences delivered by the live court show...

to all courts.

Also, a team will be set up to support...

the operation and promotion of the live court show.

(Chief Judge Kang Yo Han)

Who is it?

Hi, Master Yo Han.

(Chief Judge Kang Yo Han)

Have you lost your mind?

How dare you barge in here?

Nice to meet you.

I'll be leading the Live Court Show Operation Support Committee.

I'm Jung Sun Ah.

I look forward to working with you, Judge Kang Yo Han.

This violates the independence of the court.

Judges who hand down lighter sentences than instructed...

and dismiss a large number of warrants will be penalized?

The Blue House wants to strengthen order in society.

Shouldn't the court cooperate?

That's not the court's responsibility.

Without a nation,

there is no independence of the court.

For a nation to exist,

the court must be independent, Chief Justice.

Being the board chairwoman of the foundation wasn't enough?

This is funny.

Do you think you're capable of supporting me?

That hurts. I'm being sincere.

Sincere?

Yes. I'm forever indebted to you.

Because I made a mess in your sheep farm...

so you could steal your position?

Is that it?

Well, that too.

But it's much more than that.

It was at your house...

that I saw a beautiful world for the first time in my life.

Everything there was shiny.

I've lived to go back there.

Not as a thief but as the owner.

As the owner of the world that you...

kicked me out of.

You haven't changed at all.

You're still nothing but...

a starving little thief.

You're nothing but a thief who has no idea...

how messed up you are.

I...

love it when you act like this.

When you ridicule me, curse at me,

and hurt me.

It thrills me.

That's why...

I want to harass you too.

I want to scratch you, bite you,

and dig into you.

I guess you still don't know me.

I don't have much patience,

and I don't discriminate between men and women.

I...

treat everyone the same.

You and I are very alike.

Is that why you like me?

Yes.

How much do you like me?

How much do you like me?

(DIKE will complete Korea. Download it right now.)

What are you doing?

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

You saved me.

Oh, right.

Chief Kang. What are you...

Goodbye.

I'll see you again.

Darn it.

That woman said she's is in charge of...

the Live Court Show Operation Support Committee.

Ms. Jung is?

Hello, Ms. Jung.

Judge Oh. We should meet soon, separately.

What is it this time?

Chief Kang.

Am I a member of this bench?

What do you mean?

The entire country has been turned upside down with what you started,

but you won't tell me anything about it.

You didn't discuss anything with me before you resigned.

Now you're saying you'll accept tips from the entire country.

Why did that woman suddenly show up here?

- Judge Oh. - Hold on.

Let me just say one more thing.

I don't know what you think about me,

but I'm a judge in this country...

and a member of this live court show.

If you're going to do things like this, hold the trial on your own.

You've changed Judge Oh.

"If you include me in the live court show,"

"it would be my honor just to be able to sit next to you."

Didn't you say this?

I believe you did.

You've become quite ambitious.

You deserve to be congratulated,

but I wonder what brought about this change.

I've said everything that I need to tell you.

[VIU Ver] tvN E08 'The Devil Judge' "Ga On Chooses a Side" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥- Synced with Subcake Android

Is this your method?

You're cutting off the people who are right next to you,

so how do you intend to fight against people who move the world?

You can't do it alone.

We'll talk about this later.

Stop by at the house.

It seems like Elijah is quite anxious.

They've completely excluded me from making their decisions.

(Ministry of Justice, Cha Kyung Hee, Minister of Justice)

Seo Jeong Hak suddenly died,

and now the Violence Gang?

Did you get the personal information on the gang member they caught?

The NIS is saying it's their jurisdiction,

and they're refusing to share any information.

Those little jerks.

They're saying they'll only move on the orders of the president.

Isn't there a team that collects Heo Joong Se's personal corruption?

Yes, ma'am.

I think we should have some of them look into someone else.

Who do you want them to look into?

The new board chairwoman of Social Responsibility Foundation,

Jung Sun Ah.

I think that there's a puppeteer...

pulling the strings of our puppet president.

Should we have some coffee and talk?

Sounds good.

Elijah.

It seems like you're wondering why I'm not including Oh Jin Joo.

The bench is a panel of three judges.

Two is more than half.

Are you saying you don't need the minority?

But Judge Oh is a good person.

I don't believe in fickle things...

like good intentions and beliefs.

So the only things you're interested in...

are things like resentment and anger?

To say the least.

You went after Cha Kyung Hee's sponsor and her son.

Is that why you're so fixated on targeting her...

since the first trial?

Because of Elijah?

Mom!

I don't think it's that simple.

Like I told you last time,

when the people who control the world are united,

there's nothing we can do.

So you've isolated the strongest person?

Furthermore, she's the easiest target to isolate.

She's an easy target?

Do you know why Cha Kyung Hee is so powerful?

It's because she holds the cards to everyone's weaknesses.

If Cha Kyung Hee gets cornered, many people will be happy.

And I...

really want the weaknesses...

that Cha Kyung Hee is holding onto.

So you're going to corner her even further.

Until Cha Kyung Hee comes forward to make a deal with her final card.

If you understood it, can you look over this?

These are some potential cases for the next live court show.

The show must continue.

The public's support is our only weapon.

About Doh Young Choon...

Who was the one who ordered that?

I'm not sure.

I'm still looking into it.

Regardless of who it is, why would they do that?

He's not a political criminal,

and he's not a card that's worth making a deal over either. So why?

If you can't find a particular reason, it's usually about money.

Money?

Money is a strong motivator...

to all people.

Must you include Judge Kim Ga On?

- Do you have to go this far? - Whether we like it or not,

I can't let him stand behind my back.

I need to have him on my side...

- Or... - or get rid of him.

He's a risk factor.

Elijah.

Yes? Come in.

You're so cold whenever I'm not around.

What did the two of you talk about for so long?

It's just some boring work stuff.

- Can I sit down? - Go ahead.

Right. A conversation between two old men can't be fun.

You're so mean.

I'm not old. I'm still young.

Forget it.

Why haven't you been coming by recently?

I just had some things to think about.

I gave a lot of thought to...

what you said last time.

What was it again?

The evil fraud. The one that killed your parents.

I shouldn't have said anything to you.

Don't worry about it.

How can I not worry about it?

You tried to die a few times because of him.

Elijah?

- Let's kill him. - What?

I think that's the best thing to do.

I don't get it.

Why should taxpayers' money go to sheltering,

clothing, and feeding him three times a day?

How can you even sleep at night?

I think I'd be too angry to sleep.

So, I did some thinking.

I don't think it's entirely impossible.

I'll hack into the prison system...

to find out when he goes on an outing.

You can hide somewhere, ambush him...

Elijah.

What?

Thank you for putting that much thought into it.

It's nothing, really.

But I'm really okay now. You don't have to worry.

Oh, are you?

Then...

What if...

This is just a crazy assumption,

but what if someone had swapped him out?

With someone else?

What?

You imagined something that crazy?

Instead of wasting time imagining something that silly,

- why not kill him... - Yes.

It's my silly imagination.

It is.

Who would do something that crazy?

What for?

Right?

Unless a weird person had a weird purpose.

What for?

Forget it.

Get some rest.

Sleep well, Elijah.

What was that about?

(Regional Investigation Unit, Lieutenant Yoon Soo Hyun)

I was surprised.

I'd been thinking a lot about you,

and you called me.

It's just that even if I bring the older guys,

they're no help.

That one.

- How's this? - It's pretty. It suits you.

Because the model's not too bad.

What about that one?

This looks a bit old...

No, I'd say it looks mature.

Does it?

So, is something going on...

with Ga On?

Ga On?

I'm not sure.

Didn't you say you're best friends?

Are you concerned?

Concerned? Why would I be?

Wrap that for me.

Okay.

And the one this woman was eyeing.

Pardon? Oh.

"Woman"?

No, it's fine. I don't need anything.

You should pick something out.

It's boring to shop alone.

That's all great but...

shall we go somewhere else too?

Somewhere else?

Here.

You like him.

What, ice cream?

You know what I mean.

Ga On?

Well, I can't say I dislike him.

I asked him out five times since we met in kindergarten.

- Five times? - He said no all five times.

Then why...

Why did I keep asking him out?

Yes, why did I do that?

Wouldn't it have been his looks?

He was pretty cute back then.

But what?

But...

he cried.

What?

It was the first time his parents had lost everything,

and he had to quit kindergarten.

He cried his eyes out.

I hated that so much.

I hated to see him cry.

There was nothing else I could do.

Before I knew it, I'd blurted out...

that I liked him.

Wasn't that stupid?

Then...

every time he cried, did you...

I saw Ga On cry...

as many as five times.

It was like a dark cloud of unhappiness covered his family.

It never stopped.

It kept going.

It's getting late.

- Shall we go now? - Soo Hyun.

Come with me.

Sure, Elijah.

Hey, it's me.

You investigated Joongwon FNB, right?

Can you look into their finances for the last few years?

Thanks a lot.

Ga On.

I'm sorry I'm late.

You must be busy, Mr. Prosecutor.

I should come running when I get a call...

from the most successful of my classmates.

- I'm successful? - Of course, you are. You're a star.

Can you sign this for me?

It's for my niece.

Okay.

I need to ask for a favor.

- What is it? - Well...

There's this inmate.

He took hundreds of millions.

The Crime Proceeds Collection Team was under your department then.

I know it's a huge task,

but can you see if they recovered anything?

Is this for the live court show?

No, it's a personal favor.

Help me out, please.

Okay, sure.

In return,

I'm going to need a lot of autographs.

One won't do.

Okay. Thanks.

Hello.

Are you back for good?

Not really.

They need some looking after.

You should come back, not drop by.

This is where you live.

Someone there needs some taking care of too.

Take care of your own self, please.

What about me?

I'm living a shamelessly comfortable life.

- Soo Hyun. - Yes?

What are you thinking about?

Nothing.

By the way, Ga On...

Professor.

Goodness. Oh, dear.

- Hello. - This house has too many stairs.

My legs are dead.

What brings you here at this hour?

Are you finished?

Orange juice?

What you should've brought is soju, not orange juice.

Exactly.

He's clueless.

I called Soo Hyun to say hi and decided to come by.

She told me you were coming.

We both work at the Supreme Court. You didn't have to.

These days, I'm not sure...

what kind of place we work at.

I met Chief Justice today. He sounded more like a commander.

He said all courts should act together.

This isn't the nation I fought for when I was young.

All officers have been ordered to fire live bullets.

I didn't become an officer to shoot citizens.

Police brutality is getting more and more serious.

When people get drunk and noisy,

- the police... - Is that so wrong?

Ga On.

It's just as abnormal for officers to get beaten up...

by drunk people every night.

That kind of nation is not okay either.

But once a monster is unleashed,

it doesn't know when to stop.

And it's the live court show that woke up that monster.

So what's your plan?

I'm going to break up your court.

I've lost all trust in the court.

I'm going to raise an issue through civic organizations.

When it's reported by conscientious media companies,

the opposition party will request an inspection.

Ga On.

You're at the center of this plan.

Everything you've seen, heard, and learned so far...

I need it.

- Is that an order? - It's a request.

And...

I'm sorry.

It's all my fault.

(Associate Judge Kim Ga On)

Hello?

Come to my office.

(Chief Judge Kang Yo Han)

Have you had a look?

What do you mean?

The cases for the next live court show that I gave you.

Well, yes.

You still seem to have a lot going on in your head.

I'm taking you somewhere later.

Where is it this time?

I have something to show you.

Where are we going?

I said, where are we going?

We're here.

This is a friend of mine who helps me.

This is Judge Kim Ga On.

Nice to meet you.

You must be the one who did a thorough check on me.

Your skills are impressive.

You've been working pretty hard too,

checking on Judge Kang.

I'm sorry, but I can't compliment you though.

Your skills weren't impressive at all.

I apologize.

Snooping is definitely not my forte.

You two seem to hit it off.

But I think you've introduced yourselves enough.

Is this guy what you wanted to show me?

You once asked me...

how I was going to fight against those who run this world.

The answer is that...

I make sure I win before the game even starts.

How is that possible?

Of course, it isn't easy if you're alone.

That's why I have people who help me including this guy...

here and there.

You mean you have assistants?

They should be here any minute.

Lawyer Ko.

I'll meet the lawyer today.

Sir.

But admit to professional negligence?

Lawyer Ko.

You said it'd be five years.

Five years.

Jang Ki Young wasn't the only one you bought off?

Like I said,

I had to make sure I win before the game even starts.

I'm sorry I was out of line the other day, Judge Kim.

What about Lee Young Min's trial? That would've been impossible.

Yes, it would've been hard.

But I could at least try to start a fire.

A fire?

Starting a fire is always the hardest.

She's an aspiring actress. I liked her tone.

Nice to meet you.

I'm a fan.

I'm even in your fan club.

Hello, Your Honor.

I'm a huge fan of yours.

You're incredible.

He's a complete psycho.

I used to work part-time at a department store parking lot.

I felt so upset and frustrated.

I didn't do a bad job, did I?

Is it really okay to accept this?

You did well.

Thank you.

Are you saying we've been putting on a show?

A show?

I don't care if you criticize me,

but I don't want you to call our trials fake.

That's an insult to all the people who plucked up their courage.

All we did is help them open their mouths.

Without their courage, we couldn't have done anything.

I'm sorry I'm late.

- Hello. - Hello.

Thank you.

Nice to meet you. I'm Cho Min Sung from the RIU.

I talked to my chief, but his response is strange.

He just got annoyed with me.

Isn't he the one who got mad...

when you said you wanted to dig into Kang Yo Han?

Yes.

So you're Soo Hyun's chief.

Yes. She seems soft on the outside, but she's pretty competent.

She can sometimes get overzealous though.

Is my chief paying you all enough?

What?

I guess money is such a powerful motive...

to anyone.

Judge Kim, please don't talk like you know it all.

Was I out of line?

Do you know why I'm helping Judge Kang?

Why is it?

Because of the domestic sanitizer case,

I lost my daughter.

I'd defended conglomerates all my life.

Once I became a victim, I didn't know what to do.

You know how that case ended, right?

You must remember the sentence too.

Lawyer Ko.

Please don't call me a lawyer.

I've deceived my client.

I'm no longer a lawyer.

I'm just a criminal.

When all this comes to an end,

I'll pay for what I did.

This young lady here was sexually harassed...

while drunk,

and she had to watch the offender...

get released on probation.

The judge said...

the offender was a promising medical student...

and should be treated favorably.

What about me?

Since I don't have a promising future,

am I supposed to put up with it?

Chief Cho Min Sung's sister...

used to work at Serim Department Store.

As the breadwinner of the family,

she worked 365 days a year.

She was working even when the walls started cracking...

and making noises, and the building crumbled.

Do you remember the sentence from that case?

Judge Oh?

You're the board chairwoman now, right?

I heard you're in charge of...

the Live Court Show Operation Support Committee too.

I'm not that capable, but I have taken on a lot of work.

I know that there were a lot of issues...

due to our foundation.

Right.

I'll try to change things.

I'll cut off ties with politics and conglomerates...

and focus on helping those in need.

Just like how we started.

Right. It won't be easy,

but if there's anything I can help you with, tell me.

I'd love to help.

You're so pretty.

What the public needs right now is your smile.

When things are hard, you need hope.

Smiles, tears, and familiarity.

Judge Kang is mysterious and charismatic,

but he seems like someone living in a different world.

Right.

I think that you should be the one to stand in the spotlight.

In the spotlight?

Are you satisfied with the foundations that Judge Kang set?

There are a lot of people who are worried about Judge Kang's behavior.

He gave a witness money,

and he has raised his public support through the show.

Some people are saying that the live court show should be led...

by someone who is more like a judge.

Judge Oh?

Let's keep talking about how the live court show should be run.

Someone needs to keep their eyes wide open and watch.

I feel like there's something missing.

No, it's okay. If you do this, I'll be put in a difficult...

This is just a costume.

A costume?

You have to look familiar,

but when you're on stage,

you have to overpower everyone without missing a beat.

Because power is appealing.

(Soo Hyun)

Hello, Soo Hyun.

Ga On. You're the heart of that drawing.

I need everything that you heard and saw until now.

- Hello? - Hey, Ga On.

Are you ready to sign some autographs?

(Report for Termination of Investigation)

(The results of tracking Doh Young Choon's criminal profits)

(July 16, 130,000 dollars, Sold real estate)

(The results of tracking Doh Young Choon's criminal profits)

(Chief Judge Kang Yo Han)

What are you doing?

You knew about it, didn't you?

The date when Doh Young Choon was suddenly transferred,

the date when the computerized system was updated,

and the date when the team tracking his criminal profits was stopped...

were all the same.

When Joongwon FNB, the company Cha Kyung Hee's husband runs,

was facing bankruptcy,

Cha Kyung Hee became Minister of Justice,

and that's when the fraud who conned people out of millions of dollars...

and kept his criminal profits a secret suddenly disappeared.

I'm pretty sure you found out before I did. Why didn't you tell me?

If you didn't find out yourself, you would've doubted me.

You would've thought I did something.

Why did you go in the first place?

What led you to go see Doh Young Choon...

which led you to find out he had been switched?

You already know the reason why.

You wanted me to see Doh Young Choon living like a king in prison...

and see how comfortable he was to make me lose my mind in anger.

So you went there before I did to check on him. Right?

You wanted to shake me, someone who kept interfering with your plans.

I wanted...

you to be on my side.

If I needed to, I would've done something even worse.

Whether it was switching him or something else.

That's my method.

That...

won't change in the future.

Ga On.

Professor.

I was surprised you called me.

You punk.

Right.

Have you made your decision?

You have a lot of gray hair now.

Goodness.

The change in the color of my hair isn't a big deal.

Having a full head of hair is really lucky at my age.

To all my fellow patriotic citizens whom I love and respect.

Who's going to create a safe Korea?

Don't you want Korea to be safe?

We have to make our country like that.

Are you going to leave everything to the police?

Oh, no. No, that won't work.

I've been watching this all day.

- This is so funny. - Who will do it?

The people are going to do it. That's right.

- What should we do? - We have to clean it up.

Go out into the streets and see for yourself.

It's filled with vagrants, hobos, and the socially discontent.

Especially the foreigners!

These foreigners are the ones behind all the brutal crimes.

What should we do? We need to get rid of all of them!

Who will do it?

- "We worked hard." - "Please pay us."

"We worked hard."

Is that the only Korean you know how to say?

These pieces of trash that dirty our country deserve to be flogged.

They deserve to be flogged!

Patriotic citizens!

Tonight, we will become the real heroes.

We'll take back our country. How? Like this!

We need to stop all this craziness.

Anger is contagious.

Who created it?

What?

This craziness, the people's anger.

Who was the one who created it?

- Soo Hyun. - Yes?

What...

What do you think about this?

It's a bit gross, ma'am.

What are you saying? You're talking like a cop.

(Provide compensation!)

Elijah. I'm sorry.

- Wait here for a second. - What?

Don't come out. Okay?

What? Soo Hyun.

Hey. Did you work hard for a long time?

Please prepare yourself.

Put your hands up.

Put the camera down.

Do you think that people are angry...

because they are fools and were instigated?

It started someplace else.

It started with bad people.

Those evil people who made good people shed tears.

Wanting those people to be punished properly...

Is that...

Is that too much to ask?

- Ga On. - You guys should've done better.

If people like you did better...

If you did better as a chief justice,

people wouldn't need to do this.

If only the people who are in charge of justice did their jobs well.

Did you...

make your decision?

You're the one...

who forced me to choose.

If there's no justice in reality and it's just a game,

I would like to be on the winning team.

Are you a cop?

Will you shoot me?

Shoot.

You can't anyway.

Put that down.

Film me.

Shoot me if you want!

Can a cop aim a gun at the heart...

of an unarmed civilian?

Aren't you ashamed?

Do you regret it?

I'll promise you one thing.

The man who stole from your parents.

And the people who smuggled him away.

They will pay for what they did.

Very cruelly.

It's not just about revenge.

Then what is it?

I want to fight...

the corrupt world.

(The Devil Judge)

Not people like Heo Joong Se and Cha Kyung Hee.

You should take over the country.

Become a shepherd dog?

Let's do this.

She wants to use us.

It's time to go after...

your sworn enemy.

And the people who got him out.

I'll create a much more loyal group...

and give them the job.

Do you know how I feel right now?

- Let me go! - It's not about you?

Is your hunt the only one that counts?

If you want revenge, get it.

Do not hesitate.

Die!
