No, I absolutely did not do it.

Why would I? Why would I do that to Ms. Ha?

I'd like to call Ms. Choi Yoo Ra as a witness.

I definitely said it was a hit-and-run.

Yeon Hwa, you were panicking so maybe you don't remember...

But you never said that.

I did. I absolutely did.

I asked you if it was an accident.

And you said yes.

- I never heard about a hit-and-run. - Choi Yoo Ra.

Yoo Ra, please. Say only the facts.

Just the truth. I beg you.

I solemnly state that I will tell truth without hiding or adding...

And I will be punished for false testimony if I lie.

Witness Choi Yoo Ra.

'Law and Conscience.'

There seems to be a deeper meaning implied in the title.

What do 'law and conscience' mean to you, Judge Choi In Seok?

Well, looking back on it...

I've been wearing the judge gown for 25 years.

A trial cannot always render a correct verdict.

A person judging another is unreliable.

That's why a judge should make decisions with law-based conscience.

And a person should listen to his conscience before utilizing the law.

Even if a person is protected within the boundary of law...

He will feel guilty if he veers from his conscience.

I asked Seol Yeon Hwa about it as soon as I saw her...

But she said she had no time so she didn't call the police.

So I reported it instead.

In your opinion, how did she look?

Hello, someone's hurt.

Please come quickly. The location here is...

- What happened? - Yoo Ra.

Did you have an accident?

It looks like a hit-and-run.

A car accident, what do we do?

She's bleeding too much. Ms. Ha!

She looked very anxious and nervous.

Did you hear her say that Yoon Hee might have been in a hit-and-run?

No, I didn't hear it.

Ms. Seol Yeon Hwa insists she said it, I'm not sure.

I was also in shock, so I can't remember well.

Do you think the defendant had a strong will to save Yoon Hee?

Yes, she did.

- Were her actions truthful? - Objection!

Witness, please answer.

Yes, they were.

- But... - But, what is it?

Mother, I should go see Yeon Hwa's trial.

In Seok, don't say such a thing.

Do you know how I made this happen?

But it's over.

Do you know how important rumors are to journalists?

I asked my friend's son working at a TV station to make this happen.

Please, wrap it up nicely.

Oh, thank you so much.

Please have a seat. Have a drink before you go.

Have a seat over there, and have a drink.

Please sit here.

Please, have a glass.

Judge Choi is usually reluctant about being in the spotlight...

So I wonder how the interview went.

He even got the President of Korea's recognition, but his modesty is too much.

It often upsets me as his mother.

I guess it's natural greed of mothers to brag about their children.

Why wouldn't you?

You have such an accomplished son.

He was born after his father's death and grew up in a tough environment.

He never once a lost scholarship and always was first, first, first in class.

There were traps of money and power, but because of his honor...

He has worked as a judge for 25 years to get here.

I see.

She must be your daughter. She's beautiful.

She's my granddaughter.

She's smart. She works for a corporation.

If Seol Yeon Hwa's actions came from the guilt of causing the accident...

Or from the will to save Yoon Hee, I honestly don't know.

That is all.

I'd like to call the paramedic and the nurse in the operating room.

She repeatedly said we had to save her.

She sincerely wished to save her and was saddened by it.

So I never suspected her to be the perpetrator.

When I said we didn't have enough blood during surgery...

Ms. Seol volunteered to give her blood.

She told us to draw as much blood as possible.

I thought they were related because she looked desperate.

She's nice, kind and well-mannered.

She should be awarded for it.

She cared for her sister while working and preparing for the employment test.

If she ever made a mistake, she would confess honestly and apologize.

She couldn't possibly hurt anyone.

The defendant Seol Yeon Hwa is, in this bleak day and age...

Only a witness who acted kindly for someone in an accident.

I can assure you of her innocence.

That is all.

-Yeon Hwa, Yeon Hwa! - Mom.

My Yeon Hwa, you'll be fine.

Heaven and earth know your innocence.

I know it and Soo Ae knows it too.

Hang on a bit longer, my daughter.

The truth will be revealed. Stay strong, okay?

Yeon Hwa...

Don't worry too much, Mom.

Soo Ae, stay healthy with Mom, okay?

Go, go! Let's go!

Right.

- Hello. - Yoon Jae.

My condolences to you. You must be very sad.

I can't express how sorry I am.

But please trust her.

Please trust Yeon Hwa. Please?

Of course, I trust her.

Thank you.

Attorney Min, what will happen to Yeon Hwa?

We have to see how things go...

But it seems the judge will consider her extenuating circumstances.

To determine if an accident like this is intentional, they need clear evidence.

Without a clear evidence, she has a good chance of probation.

Please take care of her to the end.

Let's go.

Mother, give that to me. I'll carry it.

What's this on such a happy day?

She couldn't even witness her father's proud moment.

My Yoo Ra must be nervous and anxious sitting in a scary court room.

How would Yeon Hwa feel as someone who's innocent and still went to jail?

By the way, I hope Yoo Ra gave a good testimony...

Where there is smoke, there is fire.

Who could accuse someone without any reason?

There must something to arrest her with.

I'm sure the truth will emerge... but there are many innocent people.

Luckily, both Attorney Min and the judge are capable, so they'll do a good job.

Make sure you keep the family relations a secret.

What a shame for the family.

I'm glad 100 times, no, 1,000 times that you didn't get married.

Yoon Jae's family is unaware of the relationship, right?

Yoo Ra said she'd tell them herself and told me to stay quiet.

Smart girl. I'm glad you did.

How uncomfortable is this? You know how our families are.

We could be future in-laws.

How could we be involved in this ugly situation?

They are here, Mother.

I'm home, Mother.

I'm home, Grandmother. I'm home, Dad.

- All right, so how did it go? - Honey, my Yeon Hwa...

In Seok had an interview with someone from a TV program.

Are you even interested?

Honey.

Mother, you must have worked a lot. I'm sorry, I'll clean up.

I need to see you.

What's a marriage to you? What's your goal?

- Pardon? - Is it a social upgrade?

You want to be a judge's wife so you can marry your daughters into good families?

- Mother. - Then you achieved that.

What are we then?

We're about to have a criminal in a judge's family. How shameful.

Why does Yoo Ra have a criminal sister...

When she needs to just meet a good man and get married?

Mother, Yeon Hwa is falsely accused so her innocence will be eventually revealed.

I'm sure you want to believe her innocence because she's your child.

But from my point of view I'm anxious to death.

I should be enjoying my Golden Years but my heart is shrinking every day.

Does that make sense?

There are no secrets in this world.

His book is published and he'll continue on with his success.

Don't bring down In Seok's reputation.

Pack and leave quietly.

Mother, I'll be better to you and Yoo Ra.

Mother, because of my stupidity Yeon Hwa tried doing things independently.

I got married only seeking my own happiness, and left my daughters.

If I don't help now, I'll tear my heart out for the rest of my life.

Mother, please be patient. I'll do my best for you.

I've said what I've needed to.

Mother.

- You'll die from the cold. - Hello.

Detective Park, how was the trial?

What happened to Seol Yeon Hwa?

It's totally stuck in my back teeth.

It's not coming out.

Hey, what happened to the biker gang's hit-and-run last night?

I got a call from a repair shop so I'm going to check it out.

By the way, is Seol Yeon Hwa really the perpetrator?

She doesn't look like it.

Baby, stop talking nonsense and go start the car.

Yes, I got it.

Detective Park.

I've seen you before.

Please take care of us.

- Don't you know I don't like that - I only put a little.

Look at you. You're giving fruit juice to someone who doesn't even like fruit?

I have no use for it.

The second session of the trial.

Hello.

Whether her behavior was from the guilt of the accident...

Or her genuine concern for Yoon Hee, I honestly don't know.

Do you have something to say to me?

Why did you testify like that?

I warned you not to doubt someone and say careless things without evidence.

Do you know how important your word is right now?

Then should I have lied in my testimony?

As you know, Yoon Hee was just like my real sister.

Witnessing her accident also left me with a permanent scar.

You know how much I liked and respected her.

Even if she's your girlfriend I cannot tell them a lie.

I don't want to do it out of respect for Yoon Hee.

I'm sorry.

Yes.

You were looking for me, President?

Welcome, Ms. Go.

How long has it been since you started working? Please sit.

Yes, it has been eight years.

Your work score, attitude and reviews are all excellent.

I also heard from Ha Yoon Hee that you're a hard-working employee.

Please take care of the development team.

Pardon?

The development team is the engine of J Cosmetics.

It should not be overworked or stopped.

Please do your best so we can compete with product quality...

Team Leader Go Mi Young.

Team Leader... Yes, President.

Do you need something?

- Mrs. Suwon, what does Yoon Jae like? - Excuse me?

When Yoon Jae comes home I'd like to have a drink with him.

I'm just wondering what snacks he likes.

Yoon Jae likes anything chicken. With lots of vegetables.

I like chicken too. Is spicy okay?

Yes, he'll sweat eating it but he likes it.

That's just like me. We have a lot in common.

- Do you have ingredients? - I happen to have them.

Since he hasn't been able to eat much I wanted to make food for him.

Give them to me please.

I'll put my chef hat on.

You're going to do it yourself?

Of course, I won't be as good as you... but I'm good at cooking.

Since I had to prepare every meal I improved my cooking.

Do you have Korean liquor?

What's up?

Ma'am, the President appointed someone to replace Mr. Choi Kang Wook.

Without saying anything?

What about Choi Kang Wook?

What? Dismissal?

How does it make you feel to see your girl on trial?

I knew this would happen when you brought reporters to the company.

You're nervous.

You're so nervous that you're desperate.

What kind of a CEO gathers reporters and makes them to write a correction?

Usually things get covered quietly.

You're nervous, so you called reporters.

But now, do you understand real life after seeing Seol Yeon Hwa arrested in front of you?

How do you feel about letting the world know...

That the woman who killed your sister is the woman you love?

The trial is not over yet.

- Don't jump to conclusions. - I said it before. You can't trust anyone.

Your insecurity and distrust will end up destroying you.

What are you saying?

You're afraid of Kang Wook?

Were you nervous that he'd swallow J Cosmetics in one gulp?

Kang Wook made the new product launch happen out of respect for Yoon Hee.

For your sister. And you return that with dismissal?

Don't use Yoon Hee as an excuse.

If it was just for Yoon Hee, now the job is complete.

He has nothing left to be sorry for.

What do you really want at the end of the day?

- You think I don't know your about foul intentions? - You know it that well?

Not just anyone can become a mistress with two children without a proper wedding.

You must have had a grand dream.

Finally, getting a marriage license after five years.

Become the wife of J Cosmetics' Chairman.

Become a major shareholder.

You've achieved them all.

You came in as a mistress... and now you want J Cosmetics?

I told you to watch what you say, Ha Yoon Jae!

To me, she's the only mother I have.

Your cold stare, your sharp tongue!

After the Chairman passed away you even lost Yoon Hee.

So I was proud of you just enduring it and I was patient with you.

Who's being patient?

Your mother made my father die. Do you know that?

Where is your proof? Stop hurting!

She raised you for 20 years.

When I was lonely to death and going through tough times...

She stood by your side.

At any rate, she's your mother.

It's true that I asked Mother for the team leader position.

I wanted to give the new product to Yoon Hee as a gift.

I had a reason, but no authority. That's why I asked.

J Cosmetics? It's not just your company.

Mother is a major shareholder and an adviser.

It's appropriate to hire the right person to manage in times of difficulty.

What were you doing when the company's was falling apart?

As the CEO of the company, other than protecting your woman, what did you do?

Having pride also means you accept help when you can.

You want to talk about pride after the company goes bankrupt?

It makes me sick to hear you give me advice as if you're my older brother.

Stop talking down to me.

I refuse your advice.

Don't even dream about J Cosmetics.

It's not only ugly, but also pathetic.

Hey, Ha Yoon Jae!

- Yoo Ra. - Please leave. I'm tired.

Let me ask you one thing.

Can you tell me why you said that in your testimony?

Because you're the only witness you're important to Yeon Hwa.

You also know that every word counts towards the verdict.

You want to scrutinize what I said?

No, your word can change the verdict. That's how important you are...

What are you doing now?

Do you mean that you want her to give false testimony for your daughter?

Making her give false testimony to save your daughter?

- That's not what I mean, Mother. - Because of your daughter...

She's already suffering. Why are you blaming her?

How can you possibly blame her?

- Mom... - Mother, what's going on? Please calm down.

Do you realize how much stress she puts on the family? How can you criticize Yoo Ra?

Your daughter is the only precious one?

Oh my. If you're going to keep up with this, you can leave right now.

Leave the house right away!

Mother, why are you like this? Please calm down.

- Let go of me. - Let's go outside.

Defense counsel, question the witness.

How was the defendant's behavior when she first started working?

She was motivated and well-mannered.

I got the impression she enjoyed work.

How was her relationship with Ms. Ha Yoon Hee?

It was good. Until the industrial espionage incident.

What was the defendant's reaction to the industrial espionage incident?

She actively denied it saying that she didn't do it.

Why did you get the CCTV and lend her your car when she was denied access to the company?

Please help me one last time.

The reason I'm going this far is because I am innocent.

At first I was also doubtful.

But I thought there must be a reason that she kept pleading her innocence.

I wanted to help her clear her name.

Do you think the defendant can intentionally run over a person?

No. I trust Ms. Seol Yeon Hwa.

That's all I have.

Prosecutor, please ask your questions.

- Did you watch the original CCTV recording? - No.

- You just heard from the defendant? - Yes.

The content and the time the email was sent to a competitor company are clearly stated.

But she insisted that she never sent the email.

And the one who really committed the espionage would be in the CCTV.

- It was just all talk, right? - Yes.

- Are you a friendly person who tends to trust people? - Yes, a little... Yes, I am.

That's all I have.

I'd like to call a witness who can testify...

the defendant intentionally ran over Ha Yoon Hee.

You received an email at 8:47pm on December 12, 2006. Is it correct?

What was the content of it?

It was demanding money in return for the document on a new product.

Crazy.

When you went to Ms. Ha Yoon Hee what was her reaction?

In order to take responsibility for her employee's fault...

She promised to stop the launch of the new product.

It seemed like she did it because Seol Yeon Hwa is President Ha's girlfriend.

Even I felt that she was beyond upset.

At the Chairman's funeral, I saw Ms. Ha treating that woman over there badly.

- What did she do? - She told her to get out and slapped her.

Since it was at the funeral, other people must have seen it, right?

It must have been humiliating, right?

I'd think so. She got slapped and kicked out.

- She could hold a grudge, right? - Objection!

Detective Park, didn't you say you were testifying at Seol Yeon Hwa's trial today?

Did they add water to this? The pear juice is so watery.

You're not going? You're not testifying?

Man, really...

Prosecutor, what's happening with the next witness?

Detective Park Chang Doo hasn't arrived yet.

Defendant, do you have more witnesses?

I'd like to call the defendant's boyfriend Ha Yoon Jae to the witness stand.

You and the defendant planned to get married, right?

Yes, we did.

Do you believe that the defendant committed the industrial espionage?

- No, I don't believe it. - Why is that?

She would never do anything like that.

What is your reason to trust her that much?

She is a truthful person.

You told Ms. Ha Yoon Hee to get out on the way to the off-site, correct?

Yes.

Did you know that the defendant was following you?

I didn't know.

What do you think of the fact that the time you told Ha Yoon Hee to get out...

and the time the defendant ran her over are incredibly precise?

- Objection! - Sustained.

I'd like to submit this as evidence that proves the defendant's intent.

Listen carefully. I don't know how you seduced my brother.

But as long as I'm alive, your marriage to my brother will never happen. Understand?

Ms. Ha Yoon Hee often recorded her calls after the industrial espionage incident.

Only a few minutes before the car accident...

Ms. Ha Yoon Hee poured out these words to the defendant.

When you told Ms. Ha Yoon Hee to get out of the car, it was also after this call.

You were so upset that you told your sister...

To get out on a road with no buses.

Is that correct?

The defendant would have been naturally upset.

You were slapped at the funeral and humiliated.

Plus your marriage was about to be stopped.

You must have hated Ha Yoon Hee. You must have been upset.

Don't you think so, Witness?

Yeon Hwa...

absolutely did not run over Ha Yoon Hee.

Your sister is dead! How would you prove it?

I am the proof.

My sister is dead.

Still, I trust the defendant. I am the proof.

Yeon Hwa... The defendant...

Is truthful.

You're going to get indigestion.

Are you doing this because you don't like it or because you like it?

Please make sure to be good to her when you get a hold of her.

They might find out about the hit and run incident.

- Why do you need money? - I just do.

I need a lot of it.

I see they've finally done it.

Seems like she'll be on the chopping block. Good luck.

Hey, I think you'll do well.

I'll be cheering you on, so try your best, okay?

Thank you. I'll do my best.

I'll reveal the truth.
