[Love In Trouble]

[Episode 19] Okay.

Oh, then... bring him here.

Since the real culprit has been caught, ask him to join us for dinner.

Don't go anywhere else, and come straight here.

Okay. Sure.

What are you going to do?

First, I can't let him disappear with Eun Bong Hee, and--

- And? - I need to test Jung Hyun Soo.

That's the only thing I can do right now.

Does it suit your taste? Is it all right?

- It looks delicious. - That's a relief.

- Thank you for the meal. - No problem. Please enjoy.

Oh, you know that police officer, Go Chan Ho?

Did you know he's being chased down as the suspect in Yang Jin Woo's murder?

- Yes, I saw it on the news. - I see.

You don't know him, do you?

No, I was surprised to hear that the culprit was a police officer.

I came here to say this.

I'm reinvestigating your ex-boyfriend Jang Hee Joon's murder case.

I don't know what I'll find, but I'm going to dig through it anyway.

I'll thoroughly search everything, including the location and people.

Although it's possible that the culprit is right here in this very house.

Anyway, what do you think happened to Go Chan Ho? Did he really run away?

I'm not sure. I'm curious about that too.

Hey, Chan Ho. Are you struggling?

It looks like you're about to die.

By the way, did I tell you I was going to meet Go Chan Ho before he disappeared?

- But we couldn't because he canceled. - Yeah.

- Go Chan Ho? - Yeah.

Also, we should check the CCTV cameras from Hanmu Park all the way to his car.

Because rather than the freeway

it's more possible that he took a local road or the national highway.

Okay, I'll check it out.

It's not getting to him. It's not working.

The only time Jung Hyun Soo was agitated was...

Lawyer Noh, have you ever seen someone close to you get hurt?

This bastard was going to assault a woman.

And also, see if Go Chan Ho has any bad history with women.

For example, see if he assaulted a woman or if he hurt a woman.

It's just my gut instinct.

- Hyun Soo, eat lots. - It's delicious.

It was boring, wasn't it?

Pardon? Not necessarily.

I guess because you're lawyers, you talk a lot about your cases.

It wasn't an appropriate topic for dinner, was it?

I guess not.

I actually got a new job. I was going to talk about it

but I didn't get the chance.

- I do express deliveries now. - Oh, really?

We use that service very often. I'll call you up.

By they way, why did you ask Lawyer Eun to defend you?

Because she was famous for a similar incident...

Geez, you're not giving in.

I was actually testing you out of curiosity.

Because I heard many murderers and criminals approach her like that.

- I think you're really honest. - Oh, it's quite the opposite.

Really?

- Get home safely! - Goodbye!

I'll be going.

Go home.

- Lawyer Eun, aren't you going home? - Oh, I reside...

- here. - Do you live here?

No, I have a room here.

That means you live here.

- Um, well-- - Yeah, she lives here.

Why?

Eun Bong Hee, you live here.

Um, I do.

- Let me help you. - No, that's okay. Get some rest.

That's okay. You even did all of the cooking today.

Give it to me.

I feel like because so many people left at the same time

this place is too quiet and empty, don't you think?

I'm not sure. I like how quiet it is.

- Don't look at me like that. - What?

Don't look at me with those eyes.

Eun Bong Hee, I was just looking at you like this. Like this.

Let's do the dishes.

- Focus. - I'm focused on you.

- Focus. - Like this.

[Client Park Sung Eun]

Hello, this is Ji Eun Hyuk.

- Lawyer Ji. - How have you been?

My husband... died.

Excuse me?

Yes, I understand. I'll be there soon.

Mrs. Park.

What happened?

- I'll make the consent with her. - Yes.

As lawyers...

you have a duty to protect your clients' secrets, right?

Yes.

But lawyers cannot conceal the truth

or make a false testimony, so in other words, it's also our duty to be truthful.

Which one would you choose?

If you had to choose between the truth and protecting your clients' secret?

I... didn't kill my husband.

However...

I want to confess that I killed him...

and turn myself in.

Are you going to keep my secret?

Lawyers have two very important responsibilities.

The obligation to keep secrets...

And the obligation to never conceal or hide the truth.

If those two obligations conflict, which one should we choose?

[Truth vs. Secrecy]

This is the insomnia tea that you bought me.

This tastes really bad, but I thought you'd need it today.

Eun Bong Hee.

Are you worried about Jung Hyun Soo?

If it happens...

that I asked you...

to defend a murderer...

what should I do?

We need to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Did you forget?

He only lied about his alibi. That's the only part I don't like.

But other than that, we haven't found anything.

It's because I'm a perfectionist. That's why I checked.

- Am I supposed to believe that? - Yeah, believe it.

Are you telling the truth?

No, I'm lying.

If you find out anything, please tell me the truth.

Sure.

Don't keep any secrets from me.

Okay.

By the way, about Jung Hyun Soo...

I don't care if he's dangerous or not, or if he's a bad or good person.

But I'd like you to stop meeting as just the two of you.

Fine, since I brought it up...

for the next 24 hours, stay safe in a place where I can see you.

- I'm just saying-- - Gosh, 24 hours is a bit much...

It's...

It's a bit much, isn't it?

I was going to say that 24 hours is a bit much.

20 hours?

Wow.

How... did you drink this?

- I drink it every day. - Oh.

Because you bought it for me.

It's bitter.

It's bitter, even if I drink it every day.

It's bitter, but I still drink it every day.

Jung Hyun Soo showed us a reaction two times.

When I brought up the assault case during our interview

and when I asked you to look into Go Chan Ho's history with women.

This means he has a story or trauma regarding a woman.

Should I meet the woman who was assaulted?

Please do that, but be careful.

- Don't underestimate Jung Hyun Soo. - Don't underestimate me either.

The reason why you ask me to do so many things

- is because I'm so skilled. - Fine, I admit it.

Also, if you find anything

please keep this matter between the two of us.

Are you talking about Lawyer Eun?

If... Jung Hyun Soo is guilty...

and if we freed Jung Hyun Soo...

I know we can't hide that truth from her

but I want to minimize the shock and make sure she's prepared to hear it.

Yes.

I see you confessed to your crime.

She was weak-minded as a result of domestic abuse. That's why it happened.

A brain hemorrhage due to a bone fracture.

She pushed him during a fight and he died from a head injury.

You stabbed him with a knife after that.

But he was already dead.

That's how much I hated my husband.

No, I still hate him.

Then, I'll get going.

This is a coincidental encounter, right? As a prosecutor and lawyer.

I guess.

I saw that you defended Eun Bong Hee in her case.

- I did. - Do you think she's innocent?

Don't you know? I don't trust my clients.

It doesn't matter if I believe them.

It's just work.

But I believed Eun Bong Hee.

- That's why I defended her. - Why?

I'm not sure. I just believed her.

Eun Hyuk.

Can you eat with me from time to time?

Park Sung Eun was abused by her husband for a very long time.

On the night of the incident

her husband was expected to be gone for a few days due to work

but he came back home without a warning

so the couple fought again and that caused her to push her husband.

And unfortunately, as you can see

Kang Jin Ho died due to a brain hemorrhage caused by a bone fracture.

But our client, Park Sung Eun

has purely admitted to her crime.

Then are you going to emphasize her weak mind caused by long-term domestic abuse?

- Exactly. - Um... wait a minute.

But when I look at this, something's weird.

It seems like Kang Jin Ho didn't assault her that night.

According to these documents...

- Park Sung Eun has no wounds. - That's right.

It was just an accident that occurred at the end of an argument.

Now, let's move on to her son, Kang Jae Young.

I think my father's murder...

was an act of self-defense.

He testified about his father's domestic abuse.

This is a really simple case.

I only briefed you about it because you were curious.

But I'll do a good job by myself, as I always have, so don't worry.

I'm not worried, but I'll help you.

- That's okay. - I'll help you.

Lawyer Eun, help him.

- Sure. - No, that's okay, Lawyer Eun.

- Why? She'll be a great help. - Then I'll only accept her help.

- But I want to help too. - But why?

It's not like you ever wanted to help me before. Why now?

I usually don't want to, but I want to help you now because you refused my help.

- Help me, then. - Sure, I'll help you.

- Then you shouldn't help me! - No, I want to help.

- No need to help me. - I will.

- Don't help me. - I'll help.

- They're like elementary students. - I know, right?

I might be single, but I feel like I'm a single father of four.

- Four? - Four.

There's another one coming this way.

Hey! Ms. No Evidence who lost my trial!

Hey! Look at you!

Come here! Stop right there!

Come here!

- Don't work too hard, Prosecutor Cha. - There's a lot of work to do.

I need to look for his whereabouts and his past, on top of everything else.

The picture quality sucks.

Even if we hand it over to the forensic team, it can't be improved.

- Right? - Yes.

Anyway, I can't believe Go Chan Ho was the culprit, not Jung Hyun Soo.

I have no idea what's what.

Me too. I thought Jung Hyun Soo was the culprit.

I know, right?

- Delivery. - Hello.

- Hello. - It's nice to see you for work.

I know, right? These are the medical records that Lawyer Ji wanted.

- Hello! You're working hard. - Hello.

This is Park Sung Eun's medical record.

Wow, we're swamped with cases lately.

- We have another murder case. - Oh.

It's different this time. She confessed to her crimes.

If you confess, you can get favorable treatment.

- Oh, really? I see. - Isn't it obvious?

It's a given. I'll see you later.

Please...

Please think about it one more time.

Lawyer Noh. Here.

Thanks.

Huh? I thought Representative Byun lost the ladder game this week.

It just turned out this way.

How should I say it? It's give and take.

Do you want to sit down?

But what are you looking at?

- Lawyer Ji's case? - Yeah.

Why did you insist on helping him when he refused so strongly?

I'm not sure.

Because Ji Eun Hyuk has been acting strange.

Hey, Lawyer Ji is strange 365 days a year without any exceptions.

Lawyer Eun, you have a keen eye.

I used to think you were a jerk 365 days a year without any exceptions.

Was I that bad?

Anyway, I looked over the documents...

It sounds like you found something.

No, I'm not sure.

Hey, what does that mean?

But something bothers me.

It's possible that someone was supposed to visit their home.

I think it's weird that she stabbed him.

Even if she hated him, I don't know if she had to go that far.

I agree with that part.

Hey, our Lawyer Eun has gotten a lot better. Good job.

- Also, the expected visitor... - Yeah?

- Do you think it was her son? - Her son?

He's downstairs. He's preparing for his witness interrogation with Lawyer Ji.

It's so obvious they're dating.

Who?

- I didn't say anything. - I heard something.

I think you heard it wrong. It happens when you age.

That punk.

What's going on?

First, let's go over some questions the prosecutor could ask you.

Sure.

How long did the domestic abuse occur between your mother and father?

A long time. It's been going on for a long time.

My father used violence for as long as I can remember.

She's...

She's my mother, but I feel bad for her.

If you feel bad for her, why...

Let me start over. If your mother--

Did you father...

only abuse your mother, or did he abuse you as well?

- Ji Wook. - Why did you move out?

We should also prepare for unexpected questions, don't you think?

I'll take care of this.

Did you ever think...

that you could fight with your father as an adult?

I know someone like that.

I should have protected her...

but I was unable to protect that child.

That's when I thought, "If I were a little bigger..."

"If I become stronger and more capable..."

"I'd better not let this happen to anyone else."

Kang Jae Young, what do you think?

Let's stop here for today.

Shall we meet again next time, Kang Jae Young?

Sure.

Goodbye.

Geez, what is it? What was that about?

That's what I want to ask.

Hey, Ji Eun Hyuk, look at me.

I'm always looking at you, Ji Wook.

I'm sure you are, but look at me and tell me the truth.

- What? What truth? - Don't joke around.

- What are you doing, Noh Ji Wook? - Aren't you hiding something?

- Don't make assumptions. - I want to. Why?

- Is her son the culprit? - Damn it.

Am I right? Is it true?

What if it is?

Park Sung Eun went grocery shopping for her son who was coming home to visit.

But... then she found her husband on the floor.

Honey.

After seeing her husband, who was supposed to be away, she thought

- "Oh, my son must have stopped by." - Honey.

"My husband and son must have gotten into a fight."

That's why she decided

to take the fall for her son's murder.

"I will take the fall for all of it."

Wow.

Is that... what happened?

But now you have to keep this a secret too.

In Article 26 of the Lawyers' Code, it states that you must keep it a secret.

But before that, in Article 24, Section 2...

"The lawyer cannot conceal the truth or give a false testimony."

My client comes first, so in other words, her secret is more important to me.

So you're going to free the criminal and lock up an innocent person? Really?

I'm trying to convince Park Sung Eun to tell the truth.

But you're not able to convince her!

The trial is coming up! When are you going to convince her?

Even if I can't convince her, I'll still be on my client's side.

- Do you think this is best for her? - Yeah, I think it is.

Stop the foolish nonsense!

Hey, why does she have to make a sacrifice for that criminal?

Is it that hard to understand?

That's what my client wants! And you know what?

I'll do whatever my client asks for.

Is that why you're going to free her when the murderer is elsewhere?

Hey, Jin Eun Hyuk. Do you think you can handle this?
