MAY IT PLEASE THE COURT

EPISODE 1

MEMORIAL GATE

BASED ON THE ESSAY MAY IT PLEASE THE COURT BY JUNG HYEJIN

-Father. -Father.

Byungchun.

You're here.

CONDOLENCES

HERE LIES A TRUE PATRIOT, JANG SUNGJIN

Father.

Have you been well?

Father, over here too.

Ms. Jang.

Excuse me? Would the daughter also please come and stand with them?

Do you want to be in the photo?

No.

No? What do you mean?

She's not his daughter.

She's just a girl who works for him at his home.

Daughter? As if.

My dear Chakhee.

I hear you'll be promoted soon.

I still don't know for sure.

How could you not know?

No one works as hard

as you do for Jangsan.

Ask Gido to give you a promotion and some shares too.

And go show it off to your grandmother too.

-Okay. -Mm-hmm.

Your grandmother in Andong left you with me before she passed.

But she might beat me with a fire stick

for making you a partner so late.

Don't worry about that.

-I'll put in a good word when I see her. -All right.

That way, I can make my way to heaven

and enjoy her handmade dumpling soup

without a drop of shame.

Please take care.

I will.

Father, go home and get some rest.

-I will. -Please take care, Byungchun.

All right.

Good work today.

CASHIER'S CHECK

Is this really necessary?

Use it for gas money.

It must have cost a fortune to buy that.

In that case, I'll accept it with gratitude.

-It's for gas. -Thank you.

JANGSAN LAW FIRM

PARTNERS PROVIDING THE BEST LEGAL SERVICE

Yes, thank you.

I need eight days' worth of files. Good, that's perfect.

Has anyone seen this?

22ND FLOOR JANGSAN LAW FIRM

The doors are closing.

JANGSAN LAW FIRM

DARK LORD ALERT CHAT ROOM THE DARK LORD HAS ARRIVED

Darn.

Man, this is driving me insane.

NO. 1 IN LEGAL SERVICE CLIENT SATISFACTION

Everyone to the meeting room.

DETECTIVE JUNG JAEGEUN

Yes, Detective Jung?

Park Dukman was seen in Yeosu-dong.

I think he's up to something today.

Really?

All right. I'll head there now.

The meeting is canceled.

GENTLE AND LOVING CHURCH, TASTY SNACK BAR

What do we do?

What? Did something happen?

Over there...

Soonyoung.

Are you... okay?

You...

You're here.

Wait, that's...

SECRETARY

What is it?

Kangsung Pharm called to ask

if we can change the meeting to Wednesday morning.

-I don't know for sure right now. -Sorry?

It might take 30 minutes if I'm lucky. If not, it'll take a few days...

Hello?

Ms. Noh, are you all right?

-Tell them I can do the meeting then. -Yes, ma'am.

Damn it.

-Oh, no. -What happened?

Are you okay?

My goodness.

Hey, mister.

Can you open your eyes?

Excuse me.

Please open your eyes, sir.

Mister?

Open your eyes. Stop putting on a show.

Should I call Detective Jung?

Noh Chakhee...

Hey! Noh Chakhee!

Noh Chakhee, get over here! Right now!

-Hey, open up! -Open the door!

Let me in! Open the door!

-I said open up! -Open it!

-Open it! -Open this door!

Press the button, you little...

Where is she?

Someone show me where that con woman's office is.

Where is it?

What's this? Wait, who are you?

Move aside!

ATTORNEY NOH CHAKHEE

I found you, you meddling wench.

Damn you!

Where is she?

What the...

Where the hell is Noh Chakhee?

As you can see, Attorney Noh Chakhee has had

the best timesheet and win rate for three quarters in a row.

Throughout the seven years that Ms. Noh has been with Jangsan,

she has far exceeded her peers in terms of her performance.

Attorney Noh Chakhee and Ma Sanghan

are both being reviewed for promotion to partner.

But I'm sure nobody will protest Noh Chakhee making partner.

About that timesheet, can you really trust that?

It doesn't make any sense. How can anybody work 760 hours?

I know she's dying to be a partner,

but how can she falsify her hours just because she's the one filling it in?

It's clear to everyone

that Ms. Noh will do anything to become a partner.

So can you really trust this?

If anyone felt that her timesheet was off, I'm sure someone would've spoken up.

However, up to this day, none of our clients have shown

any dissatisfaction with the fees Ms. Noh charged.

I said come out!

Where on earth is Attorney Noh?

Where did you hide her?

For God's sake.

Are you hiding her? Are you?

Are you all messing with me right now? Damn it.

Jesus Christ!

CHEONGSAN-RI TRADITIONAL SUNDAE SOUP

You're not eating this, are you?

I introduced you to the baking school's director to learn how to bake.

I don't want to learn about bread.

I just want to make some dough, damn it.

Hey, are you here to check

whether I was kneading dough or stealing dough?

Why should I care what you do with your damn dough?

Exactly.

It doesn't matter at all.

The moment you betrayed us and left, we became strangers.

Right? That's the case. Yes.

At two o'clock in the morning on the 23rd, in the alley behind the Grand Hotel,

the supposed "accident" with a Porsche.

It was you, right?

And you took money from the driver to stay quiet about the accident?

Was the driver this person?

KANGSUNG PHARM CEO CHO HYUNSIK AWARDED BAEKHO SERVICE AWARD

No idea.

And this woman was in the passenger seat.

-No idea. -You really don't know?

-I don't know! -Then I should call someone who does.

Suit yourself.

Hello, Detective Jung. It's me, Noh Chakhee.

I'm here with Park Dukman.

Yes.

He intentionally hurled himself at my car.

I have the evidence on my dashcam.

Where am I?

The intersection near Sangwoo Electronics...

I remember now. Hang up. I remember them.

I know the people in the photos.

I know everything. I know them both, so please hang up.

I beg you. Okay? Please.

Gotta make a call to hang up.

Now, let me ask you again.

At 2 a.m. on the 23rd,

you jumped in front of Kangsung CEO Cho Hyunsik's car.

He paid you off to stay shut about the accident, correct?

He asked you to turn a blind eye to the woman who was sitting next to him.

So what if that's the case?

Will you buy me an apartment if I rat on him?

-I'll pay for your meal. -Hey!

You just hit me with your car. Look at what happened to my forehead.

Right here! That stings.

Look at the scratch right here. Look at my precious face.

I'm a guy who makes a living with my good looks!

How can you try to call it even over some rice soup?

This is highway robbery.

I guess I should actually call Detective Jung.

I'm getting married.

The woman I'm marrying is pregnant.

So this was the last time I was doing something like this.

It really was...

Hey!

If I learned the law like you, I could've been a judge, a prosecutor,

or any other damn thing!

But stealing is all I learned to do!

This is the only thing I know how to do. What else can I do?

Damn it, that's just who I am.

Do you really think that's the case?

-Of course. -Then learn how to bake.

Be a baking dad, not a con artist dad.

Stop making excuses.

It's repulsive.

Hello?

Really?

Okay. Tell them I'll be in soon.

It looks like Ms. Noh is getting busted for real this time.

Mr. Kwak.

As you're fully aware,

all the other law firms gave up on the lawsuit that Ms. Noh took on.

But Ms. Noh helped you win.

Please take that into consideration.

That's why I was going to give her about 10% for winning the case.

But look!

This is ridiculous, damn it. This is too much!

Working 120 hours in one week?

How much does that cost?

You all charge 45,000 won for 6 minutes.

Hey. Look at me, Attorney Noh.

Look. Is the word "pushover" written on my face?

My fee was properly charged according to my timesheet.

Yes, exactly!

You say it was properly done, so I'm telling you

to bring me evidence of that!

Do you have to take things this far?

-Yes! -Of course, he should.

I'm sure Ms. Noh wants to clear this up more than anyone. Isn't that so?

Let's check and make sure.

Play it.

That's right.

Damn it.

JANGSAN LAW FIRM

Skip ahead.

Keep going.

Fast forward to 22:30 on the 17th.

I knew it.

What the...

The result is out.

Ms. Noh always fired the interns she didn't like.

This time, it's her turn.

Come on. I doubt they'll fire her.

So? How many hours?

She's blinded by her desire to win, so I'd say at least 90 hours.

To be exact, 100...

and 24 hours.

What? Did you say 124 hours?

-That's unbelievable. -That's insane.

Bring the car around.

I'm glad we resolved the misunderstanding.

Sure.

JANGSAN LAW FIRM

Good work.

How can she not change one bit?

She's here.

She's relentless.

CEO KWAK SANGGU, JEWOO CONSTRUCTION

Mr. Kwak.

Hey.

Goodness, don't mention it. I should thank you.

If it hadn't been for you, I would've lost my precious building.

Anyway, after what happened today,

will they finally make you a partner there, Ms. Noh?

If they don't give it to you, then next time,

I'll take my weapons over and make a huge scene.

So you'll be fine?

All right, I get it. Okay.

I'll send over some rockfish, so let's have dinner soon.

NICOTINE GUM

Ms. Noh, Ms. Lee Soonyoung called.

Lee Soonyoung?

Yes. She said she was Lee Soonyoung from Jungha.

Is today my birthday?

No, ma'am.

Tell her I'm busy.

I did, but she said that it was extremely urgent.

She kept pleading to speak with you.

It's me.

Chakhee?

Is that really you, Chakhee?

Yes.

Chakhee.

I'm busy. Make it short.

Well...

I know that you're busy.

I really didn't want to call you either, but...

But can you please come over?

JUNGHA POLICE STATION

I...

I really don't remember.

My husband...

I don't believe it. I just...

It was something like a scary ghost, not my husband.

Soonyoung.

Yes?

Do you have a lot of money?

I charge 45,000 won for 6 minutes.

And if I go to Jungha, you'll have to pay my travel expenses.

Can you afford that?

I just...

You're the only attorney I know.

You are the most capable person

I know...

I'm sorry.

If you're going to apologize, don't call.

Either find an attorney you can afford

or accept the public defender that the state gives you.

Bye.

I really don't remember.

I apparently stabbed my husband with a knife.

You little punk. Pay before you eat.

Don't be so cheap. It's just one ice cream.

You took over 11,300 won from me yesterday when we played Go-Stop.

They're completely different matters.

Come on. Just consider this a cut from your winnings.

A cut depends on me, it's not up to...

Whatever. I'm broke. Bye.

I don't believe this.

What on earth do you do for a living? You don't even have 1,000 won on you?

-Me? -Yeah.

You go out every morning in a suit,

so you don't seem like you don't have a job.

Are you involved in a pyramid scheme?

A pyramid scheme? Please, Granny. Good grief.

I'm a lawyer!

What now? A lawnmower pyramid scheme?

Come on, how can you say that?

Your IQ seems to be over 150 when we play Go-Stop.

I'm a lawyer.

Someone who defends people. Don't you know?

You're a lawyer?

Yes.

If you're a lawyer,

then my doggy Ddol is a judge, you bonehead.

You went too far, Ddol. I'm serious.

Cut the bull.

Just make sure you pay your rent on time. Got it?

Got it. Happy now?

I'm leaving.

Go.

What do you think you're doing? Don't do that! Go!

What a little jerk.

Good grief, a lawyer? Please.

Oh, man. A lawyer?

I guess that makes you a judge.

CEO JANG GIDO

JANGSAN LAW FIRM

CEO JANG GIDO

-Hello? -Hey.

How are things going?

I'm on my way to meet Ms. Yoon Youngju's attorney.

Why? Are you not confident enough to win?

I'm confident that I will win.

And yet?

It would be more advantageous for Kangsung to settle the case out of court.

CEO Cho Hyunsik isn't easy to deal with.

You know that, right?

I do.

The timesheet suspicion is now settled, so just make sure you get this done well.

I'm sure you'll get the outcome you want.

WELCOME TO JUNGHA

A CITY WHERE RIGHTEOUS PEOPLE BEGIN THEIR DAY

-Welcome. -Hello.

What's your best-selling birth control pill?

Birth control pills?

EVESENSE, MYSENSE, D-DAY

This one is quite effective despite its low estrogen levels

so a lot of ladies prefer this product.

The contraceptive effect is solid for this one, but it's a bit strong.

And this one. You know the actress Oh Yura, right?

She's been advertising it lately. It's the best-seller at the moment.

It's also the one the company promotes the most.

-It's made by Kangsung Pharm. -Yes.

It's been out for only a few months,

but a lot of people ask for it after seeing the ad.

-I'll take this. -Sure.

Do you take one pill a day?

I'm sure the one taking the pill will know for herself.

Wait, why are you taking that?

Why are you taking a birth control...

Can you take two pills a day?

Oh, my.

No?

JUNGHA DISTRICT COURT PUBLIC DEFENDER

Good grief. Hey.

I told you not to eat instant noodles in the office!

Oh, stop. There's nothing wrong with eating noodles.

What else have you been eating?

I feel something.

Mr. Do, I feel weird.

It must be the side effects.

It's because you always eat food made with flour.

That's called irritable bowel syndrome.

No. I just had two birth control pills.

-You had what? -Birth control pills.

I think they're starting to kick in. I'm starting to feel weird.

This is exactly why everyone says you're a wacko.

And that's why other attorneys refuse to join this office.

Meanwhile, the judicial district office has no empty seats!

Is that why it's always just you and me?

Why would you take those?

Boy, you're full of anger.

Maybe not.

I'm fine.

What's that sound?

Am I hearing things?

Mr. Jwa Sibaek?

Are you Mr. Jwa?

No. Over here.

Mr. Do. Do we have anything like caramel macchiato?

We only have instant coffee.

Okay. Get back to work.

I'll get you some coffee.

So you want to settle?

Yes.

For how much?

Twenty-five million won.

Mr. Do, are you sure we don't have any caramel macchiato?

My blood sugar level just tanked.

We still don't.

Okay. Get back to work.

That watch on your wrist probably costs around 25 million.

Are you saying you want to settle the case for the amount you paid for a watch?

Yes.

You already know how much Ms. Yoon demanded

from Kangsung for compensation.

Or are you unaware?

I know. It was 500 million.

Yes. So if it were you, would you settle the case

for 25 million, Ms. Noh?

I wouldn't if I knew I could win.

But you don't seem to have any intention of winning.

Why do you think so?

If you wanted to win,

you wouldn't have demanded an absurd amount like 500 million won.

We'll see if that amount is absurd or not once we're in court.

Enjoy your coffee and show yourself out.

Kangsung's birth control pills don't have any side effects.

You're making a mistake by believing Ms. Yoon's lies.

You mean these?

Have you ever tried them?

I tried some just now.

I began to feel kind of weird, so I think that must be the side effects kicking in.

Isn't that so, Mr. Do?

Yes, he really took some.

Ms. Yoon Youngju heard it and saw it.

Park Hyungchul of the New Drug Team

called CEO Cho Hyunsik to inform him about the pill's serious side effects

and sent him every single reference file.

Ms. Yoon reported this to the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety

and was fired just a week later.

Isn't it all a little too on the nose to call it a coincidence?

So where is this evidence that Ms. Yoon heard this and saw this?

It doesn't exist anymore. I'm sure they deleted everything.

Ms. Yoon only claims that they did.

There was no evidence to begin with.

Oh, is that so?

Gosh, this is bad.

Since there's no evidence, I'm sure Kangsung will win this case.

They will.

-Mr. Do. -Yes?

-We lost again. -Darn.

Darn.

Huh? Wait a minute.

But isn't it weird?

If you're going to win, why on earth do you want to settle the case now?

For the same reason you filed a lawsuit knowing that you'll lose this case.

Mr. Jwa Sibaek.

Just accept the settlement offer.

Kangsung will definitely win this lawsuit.

Once they win the lawsuit that would have nullified Ms. Yoon Youngju's dismissal,

even if you sue Kangsung Pharm

over the side effects of this birth control pill,

we'll still win.

Ms. Yoon's report will have turned out to be false already.

And besides, the pills

don't have any side effects to begin with, despite whatever you may be feeling.

If you file a lawsuit over the side effects,

we'll file a cross action as well.

For obstruction of business by spreading false information.

The amount of our claim for damages will be astronomical.

Do you think the supposed victims, that you'll somehow find,

will have that kind of money?

-Mr. Do. -Yes?

Am I being threatened right now?

I'm only sharing the truth that I'm sure you're already aware of.

Aren't you the one who is already aware of the truth?

Kangsung Pharm's birth control pills do have side effects.

And they're very serious.

And they're still selling them despite knowing about the side effects.

If you people win this lawsuit, these pills will stay on the market,

and Kangsung Pharm will continue to make

more and more money with people's lives on the line.

Hey, Ms. Noh Chakhee.

You know the harm they can cause, yet you're still defending Kangsung.

I guess the rumor is true.

That you're the ace of Jangsan with the glorious 92% win rate.

Someone who'll bite anyone her master tells her to.

You're just Jangsan's dog.

Which breed?

I find Shih Tzus cute, so that'd be nice.

Man, I like Shih Tzus too.

Anyhow.

My client

doesn't have any intention of settling this case for the price of your watch.

Farewell, then.

What would Ms. Yoon say if she found out you turned down the settlement offer?

Though I'm not sure if my words will ever reach her anyway.

But if you're really concerned about your client,

I'd like you to pass this on to her.

That she has...

no idea of the things I'm capable of doing to win this case.

That settling the case right now might be her last chance to save her life.

You had the second-best score on the judicial exam

and graduated with honors.

You declined offers from big-name law firms

and decided to defend people free of charge,

then became a public defender two years ago, correct?

How did the ace of the Judicial Research and Training Institute, end up becoming...

...a public defender with a 3% win rate?

Mr. Jwa Sibaek.

You aren't the only one who can prattle on about someone's background.

I'll see you around.

Wait.

It's fine.

It's okay. It's all right.

Mr. Jwa!

Relax.

Wait, what was...

What do you think you're doing?

It looks like you sprained your neck.

It may seem fine now, but if you leave it like that, it'll become chronic.

So make sure you visit a hospital.

I'm sorry.

Are you insane? What do you think you're doing?

Treatment. It's Chuna manipulation.

Do you want me to do it for you?

What's wrong with that guy? He's a total lunatic.

It feels good.

-I'm sorry. -It's fine. Go on your way.

-It's over here! -I can't believe this nonsense.

JUNGHA DISTRICT COURT PUBLIC DEFENDER

But can you please come?

I apparently stabbed my husband with a knife.

JUNGHA SEE YOU AGAIN

You want me to settle with Yoon Youngju?

Yes.

You should settle the case for 50 million along with her reinstatement.

Forget all this nonsense, man.

If I let these wenches have their way, there's no way I can run my business.

What's wrong?

You don't think you can win?

-I can. -Then what's the problem?

There's a precondition for me to win.

Please confirm that I'm not

your personal attorney, but for Kangsung Pharm.

Which one will cost me less?

The attorney for Kangsung.

I don't care. Do whatever will cost less.

Make sure you win this case.

Yes, sir.

You have stated that the plaintiff habitually came to work late

and didn't show proper conduct at work.

Then why did you give her the highest grade

in every single quarterly evaluation?

On top of that, the plaintiff had received earlier this year...

Right here.

She even received a bonus for excellent performance.

Those numbers are meaningless.

It's our custom to give a perfect score to everyone.

It's...

So it's meaningless.

That's the case, everyone.

Wait.

The plaintiff had awful conduct at work and lied habitually.

So it wouldn't have been strange for her to be fired at any time.

Yet you gave her a meaningless perfect score and even a bonus?

Don't you think the witness himself should be reevaluated for his bad conduct?

Your Honor.

Attorney.

Yes.

As evidence, I submit the evaluation form

where you will find the plaintiff's usual conduct at work.

As you can see,

the plaintiff had always received the best evaluation from her immediate superior.

She had no motive to falsify a report out of spite.

On top of that, the defendant asserted

that the plaintiff demanded money in return for her false report.

However, there is no evidence anywhere that proves she demanded money.

The plaintiff made an anonymous report because she couldn't turn a blind eye

to the serious side effects of her company's product.

As a result, she was unfairly fired.

If a whistleblower such as our plaintiff is treated this way by the public

then who will stand up for justice?

Who?

I rest my case.

COURT OF KOREA

Witness.

In the last quarter, you received the top score for your evaluation.

Is that correct?

Yes.

Do you believe you were worthy of such a score?

-Sorry? -According to your colleagues,

you often came late and left early.

However, your superior Director Park Hyungchul,

gave you the top score on your evaluation and thus helped you receive a bonus.

Not only that, but he also gave you the ID and password

that gave you access to confidential information.

Why do you think Director Park Hyungchul would have done such a thing?

I'm not so sure...

By any chance...

are you two in a special relationship?

Your Honor.

She's leading the witness.

Attorney.

Witness.

At 2 a.m. on the 23rd of last month,

you were with a man at the Grand Hotel, correct?

For the past year, you've been having an affair with him.

Your Honor.

Her private life and her unfair dismissal from Kangsung Pharm

have nothing to do with each other.

The defendant's attorney

is attacking the plaintiff's honor by using her unrelated personal life.

Attorney.

Please get to your point.

Who were you with inside your hotel room?

Let me answer on her behalf.

The man she's been having an affair with for the past year,

the man she was with at the Grand Hotel on the 23rd is...

CEO Cho Hyunsik of Kangsung Pharm.

Your Honor.

A month before the plaintiff's dismissal,

Kangsung CEO Cho Hyunsik had demanded that they end their relationship.

So the witness had held a grudge against him

and decided to make a false report as revenge.

Witness.

Is this all true?

Answer the question.

Yes.

But it's true that the birth control pills have side effects.

I definitely heard it.

At least one person committed suicide due to the side effects,

and two people started having troubling incidents.

I heard the director calling the CEO...

I saw papers on the side effects too!

Did you overhear their phone conversation in room 1014 of the Grand Hotel?

Your Honor.

There's no record of the conversation she supposedly overheard.

The papers she saw also do not exist.

There is no evidence of the side effects of the birth control pill.

But the plaintiff has a perfect motive to make a false report

against Kangsung Pharm.

I rest my case.

Damn you!

Uncle.

Are you insane?

I'm about to get divorced from my wife because of you!

If your wife wants a divorce, it's not because of me.

It's because you had an affair.

-What now? You little... -You need to stop.

Mr. Cho.

If the trial gets prolonged,

the media will latch on the side effects of the pills whether they are true or not.

Once people begin to talk about the side effects,

it'll obviously hinder sales.

If the sales drop, how much will your company suffer?

Your alimony will cost you much less.

You might even be able to reconcile with your wife

with a new handbag, just as you always have.

How dare you talk back to me...

Uncle. She's right.

You said it yourself.

You said she had to win at the lowest cost possible.

I didn't tell her to win it like this.

Let's go get some lunch.

But...

-Damn it. That little... -Let's go.

Good work.

Interesting.

Goodness.

You aren't bruised.

Did it hurt a lot?

I'm fine.

How can you slap her like that just because you got angry?

Byungchun.

My wife is about to divorce me because of what she did.

Why is that because of her?

-It's because you had an affair. -Man, seriously.

If he ever does that to you again, you can call me.

Okay.

You're choosing a new partner soon, right?

Yes.

Chakhee and Ma Sanghan are the candidates.

Let Chakhee do it.

Ma Sanghan isn't any better than Chakhee at anything he does.

How did he become a candidate?

This girl has zero background.

She was never qualified to work here, but you insisted on giving her a job.

"Background"?

What background?

Because she went to law school outside of Seoul?

Because she's a woman?

She's the granddaughter of your housekeeper.

She was a mere maid at your vacation house.

Because you keep acting like this,

she thinks she's really your granddaughter or something.

She doesn't know her place and keeps acting up.

There's even a rumor that she's actually your granddaughter.

If that's the rumor, then let people continue to believe it.

Oh, come on.

Byungchun.

If you keep insisting she can't do it because of her background...

Then okay, fine.

Then how's this for her proper background?

Chakhee.

Do you want Grandpa's shares?

Should I give you my shares?

JUNGHA DISTRICT COURT PUBLIC DEFENDER

Ms. Kim Minyoung.

Is there anyone else you remember?

No. That's about everything I heard on the phone call.

When I opened the file on the side effects,

I thought I should download it first, then read it over later,

so I didn't get a good look.

That's my biggest regret.

No, don't worry. It's okay.

We can first meet with the people on this list to see

if we can start a class action to get compensation for the side effects.

Have some coffee.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

BIRTH CONTROL PILL CLINICAL TRIAL PLAN APPROVAL

Wait, this person...

What is it, Mr. Do?

She's the owner of the snack bar

who recently stabbed her husband with a knife.

Lee Soonyoung...

JANGSAN LAW FIRM

Where is Grandpa?

He went home safely.

What do you think?

Do you want... Grandpa's shares?

No.

I've never even thought of that…

Why not?

Dream big.

You're more than worthy.

I'll do my best.

I liked your little performance with Kwak Sanggu.

Sorry?

What an unbelievable coincidence.

He decides to barge in and put on a show right on the day

the management committee was discussing the partnership.

I'm sorry.

No, great job.

Thanks to the show, people found out that your timesheet was real.

You took a detour, made an irrational move,

and got slapped by the client, yet you managed to win the case.

You know that Cho Hyunsik will be a part of the management committee, right?

Yes.

Finish up the Kangsung trial.

Then the partnership will be yours.

His company will win the trial.

That's only for the trial to nullify her dismissal.

This is the file Yoon Youngju saw on the side effects of the pill.

I see.

Everything she saw and heard is true.

Kangsung's pill does come with side effects,

like auditory, visual hallucinations, and delirium.

Kangsung Pharm has only found about four or five cases thus far.

There's no telling how many there are.

The police have yet to connect the cases to the side effects of the pill.

We must stop it before they do.

In Jungha recently,

an owner of a snack bar stabbed her husband with a knife.

She participated in the clinical trial held before the launching of the product.

KANGSUNG PHARM CONFIDENTIAL

Do you recognize her?

I heard you spent a few years together in the children's home.

Yes, you're right.

Meet with her.

Meet her and find a motive for her to want to kill her husband.

If you can't do that, settle with her.

Shut Lee Soonyoung's mouth

before the media or the police begin to talk about the pills.

Can you do that?

I think...

I can do this.

VISITATION ROOM

Thank you, Chakhee.

I knew you would come for me.

Soonyoung, listen up.

Do you want to get out of here?

Yes.

Do you want to save your kids and your husband?

Then can you do as I say?

Anything.

I'll do anything you say, Chakhee.

Kill yourself.

Hello?

Is this Ms. Lee Soonyoung's attorney?

Yes.

I'm Ms. Lee Soonyoung's attorney.

Ms. Lee attempted to take her own life earlier this morning.

Did she die?

Yes, I understand. I'll do that.

JANGSAN LAW FIRM

Wow.

How did you do it? So Lee Soonyoung tried to kill herself?

I only explained everything she was about to experience in the future.

If she heard what you'd do to win that case...

I'd kill myself too.

Good work.

The partnership will be announced in a few days, so get ready.

Thank you.

However...

I want your hands off the Kangsung case.

I don't know if you're crazy for money or the position,

but one irrational decision was enough.

-Mr. Cho. -I'm making you partner

because of your commendable efforts.

So...

you better be grateful, okay?

Go now.

Yes, sir.
