MAY IT PLEASE THE COURT

EPISODE 7

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

What's going on?

That punk! What is with that bastard?

What the hell is wrong with that psycho? Damn it.

That...

That psychotic bastard.

Ms. Noh?

You're back late.

Yes, I guess...

I'll get going first, then.

Is something going on?

Ah, I'm sorry to ask, but can you drop me off at Seonggang Hospital?

Why are you going to the hospital?

I'm going there to meet a defendant.

That's where she's hospitalized.

You're having a meeting outside the office for a consultation?

You might just become valedictorian at this rate.

Ms. Noh, do you know that your heels are getting lower and lower?

When we first met, they were about seven centimeters high,

but they're now about three centimeters.

By the time you go around barefoot,

you'll be a great public defender like me...

A great...

proper attorney.

A proper human.

RESTRICTED AREA AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY

SEONGGANG HOSPITAL VISITING ROOM

I'm sorry about how I acted.

I thought...

I was getting better, so I just stopped taking my medication.

When I stop taking the meds, a voice torments me.

I seemed a bit like a crazy person, didn't I?

Are you doing all right at this hospital?

When my wrist starts to hurt a lot, I instantly get furious.

So at the last hospital, I threw a trash can.

I got kicked out and came here.

But this place isn't any good.

People here rarely wash themselves.

And the nurses are scary.

I met with your mother when I went to your place.

You did?

She told me...

what had happened...

eight years ago.

I see.

You were in a lawsuit against Jangsan, right?

I was.

That lawsuit...

was mine.

I was in charge of that case while I was an intern,

and because we won that case, I became a full-time lawyer at Jangsan.

I won't make any excuses

by saying I actually believed what the Police Chief said.

I'll right this wrong.

Usually, with civil suits, you can't request a retrial after five years.

But I looked into your case, and you filed for an appeal back then.

So you still have three months to file a request for a retrial.

I'll find the evidence before then

and file for the retrial no matter what it takes.

At this point, I'm not sure how much of this will comfort you.

But I'll do what I can.

Do as you please.

You people did as you pleased eight years ago too, anyway.

Mr. Jang.

You helped Mr. Choi receive a retrial for a case from 30 years ago,

for which he was wrongfully imprisoned for 22 years after being suspected

of the abduction and murder of a young student in Jeongha.

How do you feel?

I just wish to apologize to the victim.

Mr. Choi Younghak was delighted to hear that he could finally be vindicated

just over the fact that his retrial request was accepted.

I only regret that I couldn't file this request even sooner.

But some people can't help but doubt your intentions

for defending him pro bono as a senior partner of a large law firm.

Some are even wondering if you're trying to set up the groundwork

for the upcoming National Assembly election.

-What's your take on that? -You're right.

I plan on returning to Jeongha,

my father's hometown, and run for the National Assembly.

-He's going to run in his hometown? -He'll run for the National Assembly?

But I did not take this retrial case

because of my desire to become a member of the Assembly.

I took this case because I also share the pain of losing someone I love

to the authority of the government.

Someone you love? What do you mean?

Do you mean your current wife?

-Are you talking about your family? -Someone you love?

-Do you mean there's a victim? -What kind of damage did you...

Is it true?

What you said about someone you love.

The female voters are going to hate this.

A man who still talks about his first love even after 30 years.

Maybe they will.

Or maybe they won't.

Did you look into Yiyeon?

Ah, I was going to tell you.

I found her.

She's volunteering at a free clinic in Jeongha.

What if she had graduated med school then gone down that road?

It would have been fantastic.

She was fined five million won for assaulting a cop.

Do you know who's in charge of her case?

Noh Chakhee.

It's a relief.

Noh Chakhee can stick by Yiyeon's side

and keep her under control until the election is over.

Yes.

What?

I'll call you later.

Look at this.

WHO'S HINDERING THE MURDER INVESTIGATION OF THE KANGSUNG CEO?

JANG, THE LATE CHO, AND YOON CLOSELY BONDED, WITH KIM IN THE SHADOWS

This bastard is still out of his mind.

Do you know him?

Call the secretary and tell him to shut down this blog.

The hackers will handle it.

Who is he?

Just a criminal convicted three times.

A cockroach of a bastard.

YC'S BLOG

B-LOG THIS PAGE DOES NOT EXIST

Mr. Noh! The bread is done.

Hey, you'll get your license in no time.

You have a knack for it.

Really? Thank you.

Well, Chakhee kept telling me to learn how to bake, so...

Well, anyway, Mr. Noh.

How do you know her?

I mean, how can the meanest girl in the world be acquainted

with the greatest teacher in the world?

-Blood relation. -"Blood relation."

What?

She's my daughter.

What?

Wait, so the girl who seems like she doesn't have a drop of blood in her

is the daughter of this man who would pour out his blood for anyone?

Wait, how did that happen?

How did she turn out like that?

It's because of their last name.

He named her "Chakhee" hoping that she would be "charitable" toward others.

But his last name is "Noh," right?

So she became "Noh Chakhee," with no charity.

If his last name had been "So" or "Hella," she would've been hella charitable.

I see.

What do you mean, "I see?"

Mr. Noh.

You posted an article about my dad.

Right, that was out of my hands.

It was in your hands. You did it because you wanted to.

Please enjoy. I have to go make the dough, so...

Your blog gets hacked every time, and the article gets deleted anyway.

So why keep doing it?

It's like a disease, I guess. I'm a reporter.

If I don't do that, I get an itch.

Mr. Noh.

Do you think my dad will become an assemblyman?

Probably. Since he's charming and competent.

Will he?

Yes, Attorney Jang.

Where are you?

I'm already at the restaurant.

I'm sorry about that.

I was going to call you, but I forgot.

I received urgent reports regarding the nomination.

Reports related to the nomination?

Reports such as, "CEO Cho Hyunsik had paid illegal campaign funds to Lawyer Jang.

Then he was murdered soon after.

Something may be going on here."

Or that "Lawyer Jang's daughter also has a history of drunk driving

or assaulting others while drunk." Things like those.

People are sensitive about drinking nowadays, you know?

It'll give us a huge headache

if people begin to make a case over things like this.

Is that so?

Our members are investigating the truth of the reports.

I'll call you later.

You scared me for a second.

I thought you might really become an assemblyman.

Do as you please.

You people did as you pleased eight years ago too, anyway.

BACKWOODS HOMEMADE DUMPLINGS

One plate of king-sized dumplings, please.

Oh, my gosh!

I'm sorry. I didn't know you were closed.

No, don't worry. It's all right.

Please sit. Why don't you join me?

No, I'm...

Please join me.

Then...

Is it someone's birthday today? Is it yours?

No, I'm not someone important enough to celebrate birthdays.

My wife.

I see.

Then when will your wife get here?

Is it okay to start without her?

I hope she's here right now.

I'm not sure if she's here or not.

She died 30 years ago.

I see...

She'll be thrilled.

It was always just the two of us, but we have a surprise guest today.

"Two"?

Gosh, I'm starving.

Chisik, are the short ribs ready?

BACKWOODS HOMEMADE DUMPLINGS

Well, have a good night, then.

-Yes, you as well. -I'll be off.

- Are you all right? - Sorry?

How can you two be brothers?

I'm sure it's tough to believe.

Yes, well, compared to my brother, I'm overwhelmingly...

Yes, well...

There is nothing similar about the two of us,

no matter how hard you look...

When you get older, are you also...

Take that back.

That was harsh, you know?

Do you see this?

My hair is very dense, isn't it?

And the quality of my hair. My hair is very healthy.

Wow, Mr. Chisik sure is a true romantic.

How did he spend 30 years all alone?

She probably married him because he showed her that kind of pure love.

My brother has looked like that...

since he was 20.

Then his wife must've been the hopeless romantic.

But what happened to her?

She was murdered.

Today isn't her birthday. It's the anniversary of her death.

She loved cakes when she was alive, but they were too poor.

They had no money, so she rarely got to eat cakes.

That's why he eats a cake on the anniversary of her death.

This is barely anything.

How did he endure the past 30 years by himself?

Why did he...

choose to be alone?

Because when those who remember are gone,

the truth goes with them.

Life was too tough, so I screamed into the sky.

"Why the hell is my life such a damn joke?

As I was screaming, I met that woman.

To me, that woman was my salvation and religion.

But I lost her.

There is no divine power in this world.

And every moment I took another breath...

was like hell.

I had already died...

30 years ago."

That's what Chisik said.

So I told him this.

"Stop talking like you're living a star-crossed love story.

If you have time for that, go and make more dumplings to sell.

And buy a house.

Not having a house to call your own at your age is the real hell."

That's what I said.

Have you been well?

It has been 30 years already.

It took such a long time to keep my promise to you.

The world you dreamed of.

The world we dreamed of.

I'll make that happen.

Please keep an eye on me.

And see how big I can be and how high I can go...

as Jang Gido, the politician.

Let's stop here.

Stop it.

Tell them to edit it, so that no one can identify the location of this grave.

Not one bit of information about who is buried here can get out.

Anyway, who is she, really?

I told you.

A woman I loved.

Mr. Do, what does this look like?

Hmm?

What should it look like?

Do you see this white line right here?

Isn't that bone?

- No, doesn't it look like a chip? - "Chip"? Like what?

Potato chips, squid chips, or casino chips?

No, the chips that get implanted in dogs these days. A microchip.

Is this about Ms. Choi Yoonjung's case?

I wasn't so sure at first either.

But this. The more I look at this, the more it looks like a chip.

Maybe the hospital really did put a microchip in Ms. Choi's wrist.

Mr. Jwa.

You're here.

- Gosh. - What does this look like?

Doesn't it look like a chip?

If I say that white wrist bone looks like a chip,

will that become your defense?

Yes. I want to do that, just as Ms. Choi believes.

I want to believe in Ms. Choi. Though I wasn't able to eight years ago.

"Eight years ago"?

Before I became Jangsan's lapdog, so I mean, while I was still a lap-puppy.

I bit Ms. Choi Yoonjung.

Do you regret that? Being Jangsan's lapdog?

No, I don't regret it.

If I could go back, I'd make the same choice.

I'd believe what Chief Jeon said just the same,

and I would've done my best to win my first case as an intern.

But, however late it is,

I'm just trying to take responsibility for the choices I made.

No.

If you really could go back in time, I'm sure you'd make a different choice.

And you would accept the consequences of that choice.

If you had done so, we could've met a little sooner.

Right here, in this place.

And I would've been...

very exhausted.

I'm so tired.

-So very tired. -Right.

I knew you were being too nice.

That's the guy who tried to assault CEO Cho Hyunsik

two days before he was murdered.

And before President Yoon Seokgu was murdered,

he assaulted his son, Yoon Dochang.

That's the kind of guy who threatened you with his car.

What does he do?

He's a public defender.

- An attorney? - Yes.

He works in the same office as Noh Chakhee.

This doesn't make any sense either.

Something has to be up.

That guy and Noh Chakhee are involved in all these murder cases.

But why me?

I don't even know who this bastard is.

Maybe you do, and you just forgot.

It just feels like he's announcing his next murder victim by saying,

"You're my next target."

Stop cursing me with that nonsense, damn it.

-Okay, keep tailing him. -Yes, sir.

Did you look into Lee Dongpil too?

Yes.

But he seems to have vanished after he was released from prison.

And we can't seem to reach his family either.

Lee Dongpil...

Ah, there was this temple he often went to.

It was either Hwaju or Hwajo Temple. Something like that.

It's an hour or two away from Seoul by car.

-Search up there. -Okay, will do.

What could it be?

What am I forgetting?

Who brought these flowers?

I'm not sure.

I do come by often since you asked me to.

Ah! Was it that young lady?

You see, when her granddaughter comes, she buys lots of flowers.

To greet everyone around her.

Anybody else?

Well, I think a young man did come by.

Goodness.

I'm not completely sure.

I'm not sure if he came by to see her or someone else.

What did he look like, that young man?

Man, my father recently passed away.

And yet you're asking me to pay compensation?

Yes.

Had your father been alive, I would've asked him.

But he's no longer around.

I can't help it.

Then sue me. Do whatever you want.

I'm not paying squat.

Then before I file the lawsuit,

I'll report you first for kidnapping a minor.

Hey, that happened ages ago.

Do you have evidence?

How dare you try to blackmail me without proof?

Your agreeing to settle the case after I beat you up is the first evidence.

The café's security footage is the second.

And most decisively, Mr. Park Junwoo's testimony

would be the third.

And weren't you arrested once in the US for possessing child pornography?

But Jangsan's stateside office got you off.

Fine. You're right.

Jangsan got me off while I was in the States. But hey.

What makes you think they won't do it in Korea?

And last time, I stayed quiet because of my father.

But now he's gone, so why should I care?

So you're well aware of the situation.

Yes. Your father is no longer in this world.

So why would Jangsan get you off?

Rather, they'll draw a line in the sand.

Jangsan will do their best to avoid getting involved

in anything related to Mr. Yoon Seokgu.

Damn it.

This lawsuit.

No matter how much time or money it costs, I'll make sure I win.

I'll chase you to the ends of the earth and make sure you pay the full amount.

Even if you go to prison for kidnapping a minor,

the lawsuit will continue.

And even if you're released, the lawsuit will continue.

Until the day you die.

So let's make this easy for both of us.

The settlement agreement.

The compensation for Mr. Park Junwoo, 100 million won.

And this compensation for the caddie, Ms. Kim Naeun, 200 million won.

What? A total of 300 million?

The compensation is for the permanent scar on Ms. Kim's face,

as well as her surgery.

It's also for her termination from the golf club due to her hospitalization.

And above all, it's to compensate her

for the humiliation inflicted upon her by Mr. Yoon Seokgu.

Jesus Christ. What, "humiliation"?

Man, so even chicks like this have pride, do they?

It's so damn expensive.

Do you know why your father croaked...

in that manner?

Because your father didn't know

just how immensely and deeply one can be humiliated

at the hands...

of another person.

Jwa Sibaek and Yoon Dochang are together right now?

Yes. It looked like they exchanged documents.

But you don't know what they're for?

Okay. Keep me updated.

See? I knew it. I had Jwa Sibaek tailed.

He's apparently negotiating an agreement with Yoon Dochang.

Yoon Dochang signed the paper Jwa Sibaek pulled out.

What do you think that means?

In my opinion, Jwa Sibaek also killed Yoon Seokgu.

He probably made some kind of deal with Yoon Dochang.

What kind of a deal?

Like hiring him as a contract killer to murder his father?

It's possible.

Listen, Detective Jung.

I'm saying this out of sincere concern, so please don't take it the wrong way.

You should quit working as a detective and start writing a novel.

That's where your talent lies.

Come on, isn't it weird?

It's so obvious that Jwa Sibaek is involved with everything at this point.

Yes, it's odd. It's as if he's making it obvious.

The way he intimidated Chief Jeon with his car was obvious.

The way he tried to assault Cho Hyunsik was obvious.

Same goes for his meeting with Yoon Dochang right now.

What are we waiting for? Let's just arrest him.

And then what?

We'll get a confession out of him.

How? Should we go ahead and torture people in the 21st century?

I mean, just bring him in for now.

If you get him here, he's bound to tell us something.

There is someone

who's much closer to Cho Hyunsik, Yoon Seokgu, and Chief Jeon Jaeho

than Jwa Sibaek, isn't there?

Who?

Are you saying Jang Gido killed them?

They're all Jangsan's financial backers. Why would Jang Gido kill them?

There must be something he wants more than money.

NUMBER 1 REFRESHING JANG GIDO 1 JANG GIDO

REFRESHING JANG GIDO NEW SOCIAL WELFARE, NEW JUSTICE

NEW POLITICS PARTY NATIONAL ASSEMBLY CANDIDATE 1

HIT REFRESH WITH JANG GIDO

NEW POLITICS PARTY

Gido.

By any chance,

if you end up losing the election, what will happen?

I can't lose.

My approval rating is 5% higher

than the other party's candidate who's running for reelection.

And it'll continue to rise.

But still.

There is always an if.

Then I'll lose the law firm, and Haran will divorce me.

If Haran comes at me full force, I might even go to prison.

Yet you still want to do this?

I think...

- it isn't too late to quit... - You know how I am.

I never start a fight I can't win.

Father.

I'll continue to go higher and farther.

This is just the beginning. How can I quit now?

It's taken years to prepare for this moment.

I'm not going to fail.

What do you mean by "farther"?

The highest place in our nation.

I'll go there and regain your honor and good name. I will do that.

People say that parents always have a soft spot for their children

and they were right.

What can I do?

If you want it that much, then you must win.

How much do you need again?

A billion won.

How did you come across someone like that and let him get the best of you?

My dear...

Attorney Jang.

I'm sorry.

Everyone has a skeleton in their closet.

If he brazenly demanded a bribe from you like that,

he's someone that will show off his own skeletons by himself.

Just open that closet for him and feed him the money.

You can't keep beating him with a stick.

He'll need some carrots too.

Gido.

Now that you're here, win.

Win and aim high and far, just like you dreamed of doing.

Yes, Father.

DELUSION DUE TO EARLY SCHIZOPHRENIC SYMPTOMS

HOSPITALIZATION REQUIRED

- This is it? - Yes.

I sent in five pages of questions, and all I get are these two lines?

You could say this about anyone going around in a tinfoil hat.

Do doctors here work as a hobby?

What are you looking at?

What?

Jeez.

KIM NAEUN PARTY B: YOON DOCHANG

SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT

To be honest, when you offered to help, I had some doubts.

I didn't know you would really help her like this.

Thank you, Mr. Jwa.

I don't know...

how I should...

how I should thank you.

You can thank me with money.

My commission is 70% of your settlement.

Yes, it was a joke. A joke.

Your gratitude is enough.

Good luck with the rest of your treatment.

The settlement money will be sent by the specified date. For sure.

I'll be in touch.

Thank you, Mr. Jwa.

Ten percent?

Attorney Jwa Sibaek.

Why don't we grab some coffee?

SEONGGANG HOSPITAL

I hear you're helping with Ms. Kim Naeun's case.

Yes.

Did you offer to help this time too?

I'd like to have you come to the station regarding Mr. Cho Hyunsik's murder case.

I already said all I needed to say to another detective.

Yes, but please do come again.

I have some questions about President Yoon Seokgu too.

Sure, okay.

Okay.

Okay.

If you'll excuse me.

Take care.

You made quite a scene at the hospital.

So you'll be fined about one million won

for property damage and obstruction of business.

But if I plead insanity, you could get a deferred sentence.

I'll do as you want.

Pleading insanity...

Does that mean you'll claim that I'm crazy?

Yes.

Mr. Jwa.

Was that her? From eight years ago?

Yes. The one whose life was ruined because I bit her.

No.

How can a puppy that doesn't even have teeth bite someone?

The ones who bit her

are Police Chief Jeon Jaeho and Jang Gido of Jangsan.

I thought you were smart, Ms. Noh. But you can be quite foolish at times.

I think I'm about to do something foolish again.

What do I do?

You're a much better person than you think you are.

Once you learn that, you'll no longer do anything foolish.

We're talking about me, Jangsan's lapdog.

-Mm. -The Shih Tzu.

-Mm. -But I'm suddenly a good person now?

Yes. I'm very smart,

so I already figured it out while working with you, Ms. Noh.

You're not a dog. You're a person.

And not just any ordinary person, but a likable person.

But not someone that you like?

It's been fun with you, yes.

The door is to your right.

No, it's okay. I get it.

Let's go.

I said the door is to your right.

And I said let's go.

- I mean, come on. - There you go again.

Try to do better, okay?

See? I told you so. I told you that you two will get married.

So when's the date? And kids. How many kids will you have?

There's no need to think too much about it.

Once you have kids, they'll grow up all by themselves.

-Granny. -Yes?

I'm hungry. I want some food.

Sure.

Okay?

What's for dinner?

Ah! I made your favorite, kimchi stew with pork.

That's not my favorite. It's your favorite.

What are you talking about?

Come on, you dummy.

Goodness, kimchi stew.

Sounds delicious.

Is it that good?

I don't know about everything else, but I know that you make killer kimchi.

Why is that all you know?

You make it sound like I'm bad at making everything else.

I know. I know everything.

You're good at everything else too, Granny.

Hmm.

Don't finish everything and leave some. It's for my son when he gets home.

Your son?

Where's your son?

He went to school. It's about time he came home.

What grade is he in?

He's first grade in elementary school.

Man, how come this son of yours hasn't grown up in over 30 years?

What are you talking about? Are you stupid?

I'm not stupid.

Granny.

I'm done. I'll head out now.

CIGARETTES, EGGS, POPSICLES, LIQUOR

EUNHEE SUPER

DAY OF BUDDHA'S COMING

You're a detective?

Yes, and I'm looking for Lee Dongpil.

He used to come to this temple. Do you know him?

I do know him.

Our temple keeps his mother's memorial tablet.

Is that so?

Where is he now?

He passed away three years ago.

He died?

He took his own life.

By any chance, did he ever mention CEO Cho Hyunsik of Kangsung Pharm,

President Yoon Seokgu, or Attorney Jang Gido of Jangsan?

He did.

He did? What did he say?

That he wanted to kill them.

You don't have to see me off.

Take care.

A detective was here.

COURT

What do you see here, everyone?

This part right here.

This is the part of her wrist where defendant believes a chip was inserted.

DEFENDANT

The defendant showed this X-ray to her doctor.

And surprisingly, the doctor also stated

that he wasn't sure what that was next to the bone.

Your Honor.

After the defendant underwent surgery for fracturing her wrist,

she began to hear her wrist speaking to her.

Before then, her wrist may have hurt,

but it never started a conversation with her.

Anyone would suspect medical malpractice if their wrist started talking to them

after they had surgery for a fractured wrist. Isn't that so?

Counselor.

Do you honestly believe that anyone would think that?

The hospital failed to tell her exactly what that spot was.

Refusing the defendant's simple request to be treated and diagnosed

was unreasonable on the hospital's part.

So the defendant's protest against this injustice...

was a reasonable reaction.

PROSECUTOR

JUDGE

Defendant.

Is there anything you want to say?

Yes.

Your Honor.

When you go to a hospital,

something is written on their wall, "Patient's Rights and Responsibilities."

Patient's Rights and Responsibilities. Article 1, Clause 3-1.

One, a patient's rights.

A, the right to receive medical treatment.

All patients have the right to receive appropriate health and medical care

to protect and improve their own health.

The gender, age, religion, social status, financial circumstances, et cetera

of the patient shall not play a factor to infringe upon this right.

And health and medical personnel cannot refuse treatment

without justifiable cause.

But the hospital put a talking chip into my wrist,

and then refused my request to have it checked out.

They refused to diagnose me just because I protested against the chip.

I believe this clearly violates

the Enforcement Regulations of the Medical Service Act.

Okay, I understand.

I will take your statement into careful consideration.

Is there anything you wish to add?

No, Your Honor.

That's it.

It looked like the judge believed what I said, right?

Yes. He said he'll take it into careful consideration.

I was worried that you or the judge might not believe me again.

It looks like everything will go well, right?

Yes, but even if the judge believes what you said,

according to the law, you may still be fined...

Ah! It's all right. It's true that I threw a trash can in the hospital.

I'm relieved that you see it that way.

Thank you for today.

I'll get going, then.

The retrial.

I'll try to file a request.

I even appealed to a higher court seven years ago, but still lost.

He's now the police chief.

And Jangsan is even bigger now.

You're just a public defender, Ms. Noh.

How would you ever win against him?

You're right, Ms. Choi.

Over the last eight years, Jeon Jaeho became the chief

and Jangsan has become much bigger.

But I'm not the intern I was back then, either.

I'll file for a retrial, even if we lose.

If we don't, Ms. Choi, that would be unfair to you.

Hello, Ms. Noh.

Hey, it's me.

Remember the case I mentioned before?

Can you email me that file?

Do you mean Chief Jeon Jaeho's case?

Yes, that's the one.

I'm sorry, but I cannot share a lawsuit case file

unless you are a part of Jangsan.

It's me, Noh Chakhee. I'll be back at Jangsan in a year.

Yes, please return to Jangsan in a year and make your request then.

Would there be anything else?

No, there isn't.

Then I'll be hanging up now.

Wow!

I didn't think Ms. Song was like that.

She's great at her job.

Then should I dress up and visit Jangsan?

You want the lawsuit case files

of CEO Cho Hyunsik and President Yoon Seokgu?

Yes.

Not only did Jangsan defend Kangsung and Kumshin as corporations,

but I believe you also defended them for personal lawsuits

against Mr. Cho Hyunsik and Mr. Yoon Seokgu.

I'd like to know what kinds of lawsuits they were.

Ah! And I'd like Chief Jeon Jaeho's files too.

I'll give you the files.

But please bring a warrant first.

If I had a warrant, I would've been less polite than I am now.

You've known Mr. Cho and Mr. Yoon for a long time, am I right?

Yes.

For over 30 years.

They were both from my father's hometown.

Goodness, it must be heartbreaking for you.

If they had been alive,

they would've helped you immensely with your campaign for assemblyman.

Do you think...

you will win the election?

I plan to.

That is if Cho Hyunsik and Yoon Seokgu's murder cases are wrapped up

as they are now, right?

Detective.

If you solve a problem with an answer already in mind,

it becomes much harder to get the actual answer.

I don't think you know the answer I have in mind.

I do look forward to seeing that answer sheet.

CEO'S OFFICE JANG G. D.

Excuse me.

It's not a big deal, but I left my cigarettes inside.

Did you?

It's a bit awkward for me to go back in there,

so could you get them for me?

Sure.

Thank you.

You look excited.

I find you...

the most endearing

when your face turns red

from humiliation.

I can see that again today, right?

Why wouldn't I be excited?

Goodness, Attorney Jang.

That's not right. You're now Candidate Jang.

Actually, you'll be an assemblyman soon, so welcome, Assemblyman Jang.

Would you like to choose for yourself, Mr. Park?

Which crime would you like to be charged with?

You'll get three years with this, and five years with this.

And this is...

for your youngest kid.

Your youngest son got into college in a rather unconventional way.

Attorney Jang.

I must have been mistaken.

Those reports were complete nonsense.

If you wanted to screw me over, you should've lived an honest life.

Are you sure you reported on Cho Hyunsik's illegal campaign funds?

Yes, I even sent proof of deposit.

Why did you send a tip about Yiyeon?

I never asked you to do that.

That wasn't us.

Then who was it?

Is there someone else who wants to bring Jang Gido down?

Thank you.

Goodbye.

Mr. Do.

Where are you right now?

The defendant is here, waiting to meet with you.

Right.

It was tough to schedule him because he didn't want to come.

I know, but I have to do something this afternoon,

so I'm not in Jeongha right now.

Come on, Ms. Noh. Why are you being like this?

Could you coax him and reschedule the consultation?

Look, this man has four assault convictions under his name.

Exactly.

It's probably better for you to take the beating

-instead of someone as fragile as me... -Ms. Noh!

I'm really sorry, but this is too important.

- Where are you anyway? - Okay, later.

She hung up on me?

So have you had lunch?

What should we eat for lunch today?

Come on, we always eat sausage stew. Damn.

It's good.

No, they have bad kimchi.

But it's good.

LEGAL CONSULTATIONS ARE NOT FREE

Man, what should we eat?

Pork cutlet.

Pork cutlet? That sounds great.

Okay.

The files.

Did you find everything?

Hey, why are you so shocked?

You're acting like I'm here to get you.

Drink this.

I'm sorry.

And the files?

I'm sorry. Which files are you looking for?

Look it up.

Okay.

Eight years ago. The client is Jeon Jaeho. It's a defamation suit.

DEFAMATION CASE FOR SPREADING FALSE INFORMATION

SEXUAL ASSAULT CHARGE OF CHOI YOONJUNG

CONVERTING 2 FILES

Copy them.

Excuse me...

I admire you, Ms. Noh.

My goal is to join the M&A team too.

You were truly amazing during the Shinhwa Heavy Industries lawsuit.

-Really? -Yes.

I want to be a great lawyer, just like you are.

Don't you mean "successful"?

Oh, it's done.

Thank you.

-Right. Intern. -Yes.

Those aren't what make you great.

Ms. Noh?

We meet again.

Yes.

You look pretty today.

Let's grab a cup of coffee.

I told you everything last time.

Yes, you did.

But I received information that you might have lied to me.

I just met your ex-secretary at Jangsan.

And she told me that you have had

an issue with blacking out ever since you were with Jangsan.

Whenever you'd win a case, you'd drink with your clients, black out,

and the secretary would clean up after you.

You always hung in there until everyone finished drinking and left,

so the secretary said only she knew about your blackouts.

Is that true?

Let me ask you again.

In the early morning when Yoon Seokgu was murdered,

how much do you remember of the time you spent with Mr. Jwa Sibaek?

Everything I'm about to say now

can and will be used against me, so no comment.

Okay, fine.

You'll be summoned as a witness for our investigation soon,

so please be ready.

Also, if your testimony is proven to be false

and the murder charges against Mr. Jwa are finalized,

you should also prepare yourself for the consequences.

Yes, sure. Be my guest.

Are you really certain that Mr. Jwa Sibaek isn't the culprit?

Yes.

Just recently,

someone threatened the police chief with their car on the road.

I looked up the license plate, and it was Mr. Jwa's car.

And this police chief

has a long history with the murdered Yoon Seokgu and Cho Hyunsik,

as well as CEO Jang Gido of Jangsan.

He threatened someone like that and disappeared

as if to say, "You're next."

Who did that? Mr. Jwa Sibaek.

Even after hearing this, do you still not believe

that Mr. Jwa could possibly be the culprit?

Was that police chief...

It was Chief Jeon Jaeho.

What happened to finding Lee Dongpil?

Yes, I went to Hwaju Temple.

But he killed himself three years ago.

He killed himself?

Yes, that's what the monk said.

Look into it more.

Find out why he killed himself and if he really did kill himself.

Yes, sir.

What about Jwa Sibaek?

I put some of my staff on his tail, but they haven't found anything.

He goes to work in the morning with Noh Chakhee,

and he only travels between the office, the courthouse, and the detention center.

And he sometimes leaves the office to meet his defendants or something.

Jang Gido. Put a tail on him.

Jang Gido of Jangsan?

Jang Gido will run for the National Assembly soon.

Both Cho Hyunsik and Yoon Seokgu would've gotten in the way of his future.

They weren't people who would've helped him.

But still, do you think Jang Gido killed them?

You don't know what he's like.

You don't understand how far he'll go.

Okay, well, I'll get on that.

You're...

Spare me...

Why?
