TRAIN APPROACHING

STOP

This is SPC
with current traffic news.

Looking at routes in and out of the city,
The Bukbu Expressway is clogged both ways.

And the Dongbu Expressway
is slowing down near the river.

Traffic through downtown Seoul
is generally smooth.

On the southbound lane
of the Hangang Bridge,

a 40-year old male
is threatening to jump off,

and the police
are dealing with the situation.

If you are traveling in that direction...

JEIL LAUNDRY

Sir!

I don't know what's wrong,
but you need to come down now.

You don't know anything. Leave me alone!

Why are you trying to stop me
from killing myself?

It's my life.

Your life is not just for you.

Think of your family.

My family's life...

...is hell because I'm alive.

I have to die to put an end to it all!

Come on now.

Come down and have your drink. Come on.

Okay, fine.

Calm down.

Have you never seen a man kill himself?

Seriously.

I will show you today.

I will kill myself... for you all.

Why does he have to be up there?

Just leave me alone!

You sure?
Are you really going to jump?

-He's crazy.
-What is he doing?

Who the heck are you?

-How did you get up there?
-Who's that man?

Don't come close!

I will pay you back. Please.

I'm not here for the money.

-What?
-You hired me.

Hire you for what?

This way!

PAY UP BY TODAY IT'S YOUR LAST CHANCE

ATTORNEY CHEON JIHUN LEGAL FEES: 1000 WON

Is this...

Are you really a lawyer?

Don't I look like one?

No.

What is the problem?

Here's your letter, Mr. Kim Eoksu.

Stay there, I will go to you.

Bang...

Bangchon Station.

You said your address
was Bangchon Station.

What are you doing up here?
I was looking for you for a while.

Are you really a lawyer?

Yes.

I am.

I'm here because you said
you were struggling to death.

My fee.

This is all I have.

There it is.

Is your fee really...

Yes. It's 1000 won.

EPISODE 1

Did you or didn't you?

I said, no.

"I said, no?"

I didn't, ma'am. This sucks.

This sucks. I'm too busy for this.

Mr. Nam Pilgu.

On March 29th around 8:20 a.m.,

you touched Ms. Go Yeongseon's hips
on board the line number two train.

I am Mr. Nam Pilgu, that's true.

I don't know who Ms. Go Yeongseon is.

How can I remember her
among so many people on the train?

Unless she was as beautiful as you.

Oh, yeah.

Which line do you usually ride?

-She's the prosecutor--
-That's okay.

Listen up, Mr. Nam Pilgu.

I've never ridden the subway in my life.

Do you know what that means?

No, I don't.

Other than here,
I have no reason to meet the likes of you.

Are you bragging you're rich?

It's better than a rap sheet
of sexual harassment.

Mommy will be home early today, I promise.

This is the warrant
for illegal personal loans.

Mommy will be there soon.
Wait for a little.

Ms. Baek,

I'll take this case, so go with him.

Okay.

WHEN I RAN INTO YOU BY SONGGOLMAE

Yeah! When I ran into you.

JEIL LAUNDRY

Thanks for letting me use--

Hmm. Did he go somewhere?

Mr. Sa.

Have you seen my office manager?

Mr. Sa.

What are you doing? Let's get going.

I quit.

Look, it's a letter of resignation.

-You're here, sir.
-Hello.

Why are you so formal to him?
Because you're like that, Mr. Cheon--

Stop it.

Did you forget what he did for us?

Please take him along, Mr. Cheon.

I will. He's very special to me.

Let's go.

-Hurry up.
-You know, but--

I don't want to hear it.
Shut it and just go.

Fresh fruit is here.

Why pout if you're going to come?

Where are we going?

To get paid.

To get paid?
You should've told me that sooner.

Are you very happy that I'll get paid?

Of course, I am.

How can we run a business
with 1,000 won per case?

-Just 1,000 won. I like how simple it is.
-Hello.

Simple is useless.

Let me help you.

Do you charge 1,000 won
because your surname is Cheon?

-Are you making a rhyme or something?
-Sure.

-Hello, Mr. Cheon.
-Hello.

Be patient. Better days will come.

I wonder when that will be.
What will that be?

You are becoming
quite informal with me lately, aren't you?

You are formal and polite
when my wife is around.

Do you think I'm easy?

Yes, and...

you look young for your age.

Wait for me, Mr. Cheon.

"NO INTEREST FOR 30 DAYS LOANS RIGHT AWAY"

Are they here?

Is anyone here?

Is anyone--

What's going on? Where are they?

Do these people owe you money?

Something like that.

Can we barge
into other people's offices like this?

We're here to get paid. Just have a seat.

The door was unlocked.
They should be back soon.

-Okay.
-Make yourself comfortable.

But what should we do while we wait?

CHINESE DELIVERY DEOKHWAWON

-Is that the place?
-Yes.

Mmm.

Why do you like jjajangmyeon so much?

Because my dad wouldn't let me have it
when I was young.

Hey. You don't look like you grew up poor.

Why the sob story?

Don't pour the sauce.
Dip the meat in it instead.

Okay, we'll dip it in the sauce.

Hi. What can we do for you?

Are you the guys?

Prosecution... Oh, we are just...

We're here to get some late payments.

Not that kind of "get paid,"
but to purely receive money...

That sounds bad too.

This is not our office.

Geez. Could you talk
after you swallow the food?

Excuse me.

This tastes good.

Do you know what they call
people like you?

Do you know
what they call people like you?

A neighborhood bully.

Hey! Why did you dump my bowl?

I was going to mix some rice in the sauce!

I told you it's not our office!

This is not... I can't even talk.

It's not our office!

What? You should have told me then.

I'm from the prosecutor's office.

As you can see,
I'm here for search and seizure.

I see.

Go ahead and seize.

All right, then.

-Let's start from the inside.
-Okay.

Let's just go.

-We will stay.
-Why?

If these guys are arrested,
we won't get paid.

It's not because you couldn't finish
your jjajangmyeon?

Either way.

Wait. Time out!

I am executing a warrant.

I know, but what's the hurry?

If you have a warrant,
you should take time to look around.

I'm sorry for flipping your bowl.

Let's end this without any hitches.

You said this wasn't your office anyway.

But we are in the same...
How do you say it?

-Line of work.
-We're in the same line of work.

We were watching their office.

Let's have a look-see.

A search and seizure warrant.

That's right.

The reason for verification. Location--

-You must have a lot of experience.
-Yes, quite a bit.

A rate higher than the statutory maximum
violates the Interest Restriction Act,

punishable by up to three years in jail
or a fine of 30 million won.

-Is that all?
-What?

If you get a good lawyer,
they could get probation.

I don't know how good their lawyer is,

but we'll see.

I don't think you need
that good of a lawyer.

Your attitude now will cost you
when you are being interviewed later.

I thought this wasn't your office!

It's fine.

Hey, let's not bother her.

Let's go.

TRUST OUR LOW-INTEREST RATE

Prosecator!

Gosh, Prosecator.

Why are you here again?

We are hardworking, honest citizens.

Long time no see, Fire Chicken.

Are you still
in the personal loan business?

It's not Fire Chicken but Fire Bear.

And the personal loan
is such an outdated term.

-Repeat after me, Prosecator.
-Mm.

Loan broker.

You repeat after me.

-Prosecutor, not "prosecator."
-Prosecator.

-Say, "rice."
-Lice.

Forget it.

What is this?

Hey. Is business good these days?

It's not good at all.
We barely make a living.

Making a living, huh?

Let's help each other to make a living.

That lady over there.

The lady who's glaring at us.
She's the prosecutor.

I quit prosecution. Did you know that?

What?

But that prosecutor brought a warrant.

A search and seizure warrant.

Wait. Stop!

I tried that. It doesn't work.

You're not a prosecutor anymore.

Why are you doing this?
I didn't do anything wrong.

You'll be summoned soon.
Make sure you attend.

What?

Hey, Fire... Come over here, Fire.

Come here.

I know how to send them away.

-Really?
-Sure.

You need to hire a lawyer first.

Lawyer? Where am I going to find a lawyer?

Hello. I'm Cheon Jihun, attorney-at-law.

So you're a lawyer, not a prosecator?

The problem is
that my legal fees are very expensive.

How much is it?

Are you crazy?

No? If you go to jail,
you won't see daylight for three years.

Can you give me a 20% discount?

Mr. Sa, I guess he's going to rot
in jail for three years.

Let's go.

Gosh, you have no idea how good he is.

Mr. Cheon! How about 10%?

Prosecutor, may I see the warrant again?

Why?

I want to see if it's missing anything.

Let's see. What's missing?

What could be...

missing on this warrant?

It's not missing anything.

Please give it back. I don't have all day.

I understand. Hang on.

Five, four, three, two.

Prosecutor. This won't do.

What do you mean?

Are you interfering
with the execution of this warrant?

I'm not interfering.
I would like to help you do it right.

A prosecutor must follow the law.

Are you saying I didn't?

You came late.

It was to be executed during daytime.

Look here, darling.

It says, "Night execution not applicable."

Today's time for sunset
in the Seoul region is 19:00.

And right now,

it's 19:01.

What a shame.
You should have come a minute sooner.

The traffic in Seoul is so bad.

It is. Your way back to the office
will be terribly congested.

What you're doing is
technically an obstruction of justice.

I won't obstruct justice next time.

Make sure you bring the right warrant.

The traffic is pretty bad now, Prosecutor.

-Let's go.
-Let's go.

Yes.

Thank you.

Come on.

Do you see any errors?

But...

But what? What is it?

But it's a bit much that 30 million won
became 100 million won.

I can't hear what you're saying.
Say it clearly so I can hear.

Hey. You were late with payments.

Do you know how much that cost me?

This is peanuts
compared to that, you know.

You are starting to piss me off.

Hey, Fire Chicken. Run the number again.

Are you kidding me now? Are you?

Listen. The numbers won't change
even if we run it a thousand times.

Really?

Let me change the numbers in one try.

Give me your calculator.

You can try it a thousand times,
but it won't change the numbers.

This is exactly right.

You are very precise,
Attorney Cheon Jihun.

But what is the 30,000 won at the end?

-It's the price for jjajangmyeon.
-Huh?

Let me explain it to you again
so you can understand.

Listen carefully.

The retainer was 5 million won.

Plus, the search and seizure
response and defense were 50 million won.

Plus, an interview with the prosecutor
was another 40 million won.

Plus, countermeasures and consultation
was 5 million won.

Lastly, the food expense was 30,000.

So the total...

comes out to 100,030,000 won.

Gosh. Let's be serious now.

That was a small favor.

Small favor?

It was no small feat to turn
30 million into 100 million.

You are crossing the line here.

You're scaring me.

Mr. Sa, do you still have
the business card of that prosecutor?

Her business card? Of course, I have it.

Fire Bear, you and I go way back.

Shall we go down memory lane
in front of that prosecutor?

Do you have an envelope?

-I don't have envelopes.
-Here you go.

-Thank you.
-Are you crazy, bastard?

-Mr. Kim Eoksu.
-Yes?

This is your money.
You should check the amount.

Yes.

Is the amount correct?

Yes.

Let's go, then.

No, no. Our transaction is finished.

-Overtime.
-Overtime.

-Overtime?
-Yes, overtime.

How can I repay you?

This is not much,

but accept it
as a token of my appreciation.

Please keep it.
The 1,000 won you gave me is enough.

But still...

Don't get roped in with those guys again.

Have a good life.

And...

call me if you need help.

Yeah.

Don't end up again at the Han River. Okay?

Mr. Cheon, but...

This will help you get a new start.

I shouldn't take this.

You shouldn't do this.

I don't know
what you're talking about, buddy.

It's okay.

Mr. Cheon.

Thank you so much, sir!

I am really going to live a good life!

We could have had one more drink,
but he just took off.

Stupid jerks.

Oh, my! Are you okay?

What are you doing?

Bastard. How dare you?

There's a pickpocket here!

-I didn't do anything.
-The hell you didn't.

There's a pickpocket here!

There's a pickpocket here!

I really didn't do anything.

-I didn't do it!
-It's a pickpocket!

Good morning.

-Let's get a drink sometime.
-Yes, we should.

-Hello.
-Hi.

-Good morning.
-Morning.

Stop joking around
and play the card.

-Geez.
-That's a good one.

-I'll take that.
-Oh, no.

Great.

-Hey!
-You scared me.

Sa Mujang!

Pay the rent.

Yes.

We will pay.

Look at him.

My goodness.

Excuse me.

What brings you here?

Hello.

Are you the attorney?

Ah. So, you're here looking for a lawyer?

I'm the office manager here.

Please come in.

Hello.

Have you seen Attorney Cheon?

-He went that way.
-That way.

Okay. Thank you.

Mr. Cheon!

What is it, Mr. Sa?

You're here again?

Come down. We have somewhere to go.

Where are we going?

Just come down.

Let's go.

What kind of client
is waiting for me today?

♪ I was thirsty
In the middle of the night ♪

♪ So I opened the refrigerator door... ♪

LEE MYEONGHO, CHARGE OF BURGLARY

♪ ...was pickled in salt ♪

It's okay. You can listen to it.

No.

How is it?

You said no more pro bono cases.

That's true, but...

Four-time conviction of pickpocketing?

But he said it wasn't him this time.

He swears he didn't.

You're naive.

Nothing's to be sure. Let's meet him then.

NOTE: HIS 6-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER
HAS A HEART CONDITION.

Somi, where's your dad?

My daddy is a captain, so he went fishing.

He's on a boat this big.

I like to fish a lot too.

You slice open the belly of a halibut,

and scrape out the intestines,
dip it in chogochujang,

and one for you, one for me--

What are you saying in front of a kid?

Mister. When is my daddy coming back?

Did he tell you?

-Right, it's--
-Somi.

If you take your medicine,
eat well, and get healthy,

he promises he will come soon.

That's a lie. You're pulling my leg.

I'm not pulling your leg.

Can you promise me then?

Somi.

Mommy.

I work at a nearby diner
that sells night snacks.

I can work while Somi sleeps.

It must be hard for you.

I hope your husband returns soon.

He said he was done.

He said he was done for good.

I'll work on a fishing boat.
Take care of Somi until I come back.

Are you really working on a boat?

He smashed his hand with a rock
to show that he quit pickpocketing.

I'm sure he didn't do it.

So, he did.

He wanted Somi to be proud of him.

So, he did.

Had he gotten on the boat sooner,
this wouldn't have happened.

No one believes him.

Every lawyer I went to see
wants a retainer up front.

They say he won't be acquitted
so he should ask for leniency.

Mr. Cheon. My husband is falsely accused.

I'm sorry, I have to take this call.

Go ahead.

Hello?

Yes, I will.

Ma'am.

I will meet your husband.

Thank you so much.

That was cool.

Their story is so sad.

Then don't complain
that I only charge 1,000 won.

Okay.

Can I ask
for an exemption this once?

It's not possible any longer.

It's the hospital policy.
I'm afraid I can't help you.

I will come up with the money.

She has to leave by the end of this month.

We're very sorry about this.

I'm sorry.

How much is the bill?

How much is it? I'll pay the bills.

Well...

The total is 13,008,128 won.

-Thirteen thousand?
-Yes.

Copay is 12,258,593 won

and 749,535 won for elective care.

Would you like to pay in full?

Don't worry.
I'll take care of Somi's medical bills.

Thank you.

Thank you...

I was out of my mind.

Why did I say that?

Why didn't you stop me?

"How much is it?"

"I'll take care of Somi's medical bills."

You were acting the hero.
Why are you asking for my help?

I'm such an idiot.

Mr. Cheon!

You are partially responsible.

-Why?
-I wasn't like this at first.

I got it from you.

Can't you do something?

Help me out.

I think the prosecutor in charge
of Lee Myeongho's case can help us.

The prosecutor?

You'll stand trial soon.
Are you still claiming innocent?

I really am innocent.
I was only helping him up.

Even an ex-con can help a person.

Mr. Lee Myeongho.

You need to show remorse to get leniency.

You have four identical convictions

and this is another offense
within two months of release.

You will likely get a heavy penalty
as a repeat offense.

Think of your family.

It says you have a daughter and a wife.

So, let's start from the top.

In your eyes,

I look like a pickpocket.

No.

You look like that in everybody's eyes.

Besides, it is possible

you don't remember

that your hands moved before you knew it.

-Is it good?
-Yes. I'm so happy you're here.

Get better, so you can go
to elementary school next year.

You forgot my age.

That's okay.

Then be here for my birthday this year.

I couldn't get a job
after being released from jail.

Inevitably, I committed a crime
to pay for my daughter's hospital bill.

Baek Mari.

You're a legitimate prosecutor.

I submitted his letter of apology,

so can I ask for the minimum sentence?

By the way, he's not eligible for pardon
under the Criminal Act

because of his habitual theft.

Oh, no. I told him we would be lenient.

Submit a petition for appeal.

Weight of offense is tricky like judging
guilty or innocent, so be thorough.

-Yes.
-What about the illegal loan case?

All of the victims dropped the charges.

Is that right? That was quick.

Ms. Baek, you have a package.

What? This book...

LEGAL PROFESSIONALS' ETHICS AND CONSCIENCE

I'm looking forward
to your first win. From Seo Minhyeok.

PEACE, REHABILITATION

CHEON JIHUN LAW OFFICE

So, you want to help me?

I haven't decided yet.

ATTORNEY CHEON JIHUN

You don't believe me either.

Who would believe
a four-time convicted pickpocket?

What's wrong with your hand?

If you used the right hand,
you wouldn't have been caught.

I really didn't do it.

Mr. Lee Myeongho.
That is only your assertion.

No one knows the truth.

What do I have to do then?

People told me

it would be a misunderstanding
for other people,

but not for me so I'm guilty.

Right. That's not completely wrong.

Why are you here?

Mm...

I met Somi.

Is she okay?

Yes, she will be.

Mr. Cheon,

what do I have to do?

The prosecutor tells me to write
a letter of apology and ask for leniency.

In fact, there's nothing else I can do.

Please help me.

Can you promise me then?

You promised.

Mr. Lee Myeongho,
you say you didn't do it.

Can you swear on your daughter?

Yes. I swear on my daughter.

Very well. I will help you.

Somi misses her dad a lot.

Be a good dad to her.

CIVIL AFFAIRS OFFICE

Mr. Sa, meet me at Seoul Station.

RAILROAD POLICE

So, this is where we start?

Do you think it was recorded?

Say something.

Mr. Cheon. What are you doing?

That's what I mean. Damn you.

Bastard. What did I tell you?

What did I tell you?

Hang on. Wait.

Oh, gosh.

Are you okay?

Yes. Thank you.

-You almost got hurt.
-Yes.

What?

Geez. What's with that beard?

So, I almost fell down
because I was drunk.

This punk pretended to help me
then put his hand in my pocket.

So, I caught him red-handed!

I was in line to use the restroom.

He almost fell so I caught him.

It's true.

I can't believe this.

Unbelievable. Hey.

How dare you tell a lie?

Hey. Take off your sunglasses.

Take them off, bastard!

I can take them off,

but I'm not a bastard, so why do you
keep calling me bastard, you bastard?

What?

-You little--
-Be quiet. Remember where you are.

Name?

Name? I can tell you my name...

-Name--
-I said I didn't do it!

Why are you harassing me?

-Seriously. What are you doing?
-I didn't do it!

-Sit down. Sit!
-It wasn't me.

The chair is over there.
How can I sit down?

-I didn't do it.
-What are you doing?

-He's a total lunatic.
-Have a seat.

Hello, we are from the law office
of Attorney Cheon Jihun.

The law office of Attorney Cheon Jihun.

Yes, hello.

I'm Cheon Jihun, attorney-at-law.

Hello.

Hi.

-I really didn't do it, bastard.
-Okay.

That was too easy.

Geez. Are you satisfied now?

Excuse me, Mr. Cheon?

This is my card. Give me a call.

-Yes.
-Take care.

TRUSTWORTHY POLICE, A SAFE COUNTRY

A lawyer gets off the hook
and a four-time convict gets arrested.

It's so unfair.

Anyone would think that.

For anyone?

You could ask anyone off the street.

Mm.

Right. Let's ask anyone off the street.

That's a great idea.

Ms. Baek, you're back.

What do you mean, a jury trial?

The defendant confessed
and wrote a letter of apology.

What kind of a lunatic lawyer
asks for a jury trial?

There are so many weird lawyers.

Isn't there a certain level
of professional standard?

Who is the lawyer?

Yes, I am that lunatic lawyer.

What?

Gosh. Aren't you that prosecutor?

Was that Jihun?

Aah.

This is Attorney Cheon Jihun.

He was a coworker until a few years ago.

And this is Ms. Baek Mari. Say hi.

Nice to see you again.

Hello, I'm Baek Mari.

You are still
a probationary judicial officer.

She's very tenacious
for a probationary judicial officer.

She's in the last class
of the training institute.

She's the ace of the class.

What is your intention

to turn this case into a jury trial?

Are you going to plead innocent?

Yes.

Look.

The defendant confessed to the crime
and asked for leniency.

Why is a lawyer changing his plea?

LETTER OF APOLOGY MY NAME IS LEE MYEONGHO

I COMMITTED A CRIME
WITHIN TWO MONTHS OF MY RELEASE

-This is crazy.
-Jihun.

You shouldn't do that.

My client asked me to tear it up.

Here... I'll take it.

I don't understand.

Are you really doing this for your client?

If the defendant denies his confession,

it may be harder to prove your case.

I know, but I'll take care of it.

Of course, you will, Attorney Cheon Jihun.

He won't get leniency if he rescinds
and insists on his innocence.

Leniency?

Did you ever think
the defendant may be innocent?

If he was innocent,
I wouldn't have charged him.

It's not that you want a guilty verdict
because you charged him?

No lawyer can change the truth.

What if the truth you believe is wrong?

Do the fighting at court.

I'm looking forward to the trial.

Yes, Yejin. I'm looking forward to it too.

What about you,
young probationary judicial officer?

I will be there as a prosecutor,
not a probationary judicial officer.

Please address me as the prosecutor
from now on, Attorney Cheon Jihun.

Very well, Prosecutor Baek Mari.
I will do that.

Then we will see you at...

Oh, my, you're reading a book.

This is very thick.

Would you like to borrow it?
You may need it.

Me?

I think you need it more than I do.

Page 108.

-I'm off, Yejin.
-Bye.

"A defendant has two advocates.
The prosecutor before the indictment

and the attorney after the indictment."

Did you know this too?

Yes. But it's easier said than done.

Attorney Cheon couldn't do that
as a prosecutor either.

Was he really a prosecutor?

Yes.

He was famous
for being a good investigator.

He was even more famous for being a rebel.

He never backed down,
no matter who he was against.

Why did he leave the prosecution?

How was your last trial in America?
Did you win?

Yes, we won.

What about the sentence?

Just as we asked for, 150 years.

That would be impossible here.

It's the sum of the sentences.

There's symbolic significance too.

By the way, thanks for the book.

I couldn't get it
because it was out of print.

It was nothing.

Are you confident about the first trial?

There's a crazy lawyer.

The defendant confessed to the crime
and submitted a letter of apology.

The lawyer asked for a jury trial.

Are you talking
about the attempted theft case?

Yes.

In America, sometimes a lawyer
can sway the jury.

But the defendants are
generally perceived as guilty in Korea.

Isn't he a four-time convict?

It would be hard to flip.

Right?

Yes.

There's always that one lawyer.

They're not even competent,

and they persuade the client
to complicate things even more.

Exactly. I think he's going to do that.

Who is the lawyer?

Minhyeok,

what if he's not a crazy lawyer?

What?

It's nothing. I'll call you again.

What is he doing?

How many hours has he been here?

LEE MYEONGHO ATTEMPTED THEFT CASE

Good morning...

This time, it's a very important question.

You like Mincheol, but...

So let me ask you,
is it love or friendship?

-Friendship.
-Why?

Because friendship is for friends.

I'm bored, let's go.

Friendship is for friends.

Friendship is for friends. That's deep.

Yes, friendship is what makes a life.

-What are you doing?
-Nothing much.

Since we'll be doing a jury trial,
jury selection is important.

So I'm thinking
about what questions I should ask.

Right. You should look at
the Myers-Brigg Type Indicator.

The MBTI.

What is that?

It's a personality type test.

Ah, they have something like that?

Can I ask the question in court, though?

What is your type?

My type is "Normal."

I'm healthy.

I bet I'm normal too.
I don't need the test.

Right?

What is that?

Jun left his lunch at home
so I'm bringing it to him.

Great. I need to go somewhere.
Can you drive me?

-Okay.
-You can drop me off on the way.

In a jury trial,

it's important to know
the jury's tendencies.

It's better to have more people
who would punish a four-time convict

than those who are more forgiving.

Your chances of winning would go up.

But how do you find out the tendencies?

Whether they are
politically progressive or conservative,

what economic status they are in,
if you could find those things out,

you will be able to tell
who would side with the prosecution.

Give it a try.

Jury Candidate No. 1,

do you agree with shortening
the military service term?

Yes, I agree.

Wrong.

If you ask that question,

the other side will also know
what type of juror he will be.

You have to come up with questions
that are clear to you,

but confusing to the other side.

That's the key to jury selection.

Baek Mari.

You should win your last trial
as a probationary judicial officer.

Of course, I will.

Mr. Cheon.

Do you think you can win
Lee Myeongho's case?

It depends on how the jury rules.

Would the jury believe Lee Myeongho?

Probably not.

What do we do then?

What should we do?

Stop playing around and tell me.

The first principle of Criminal Law is,

"When in doubt,
rule in favor of the defendant."

What does that mean?

It means what it says.

-Make a right turn there.
-Okay.

HOF & SOJU

Lee Myeongho was on this side.

Oh!

I was wiping the floor right outside.

Prosecutor Baek Mari!

Hello. Good morning.

Hello, Attorney Cheon Jihun.

What is this?

This?

You will find out a little later.

-Mr. Cheon!
-Mr. Sa, you're here.

Let's go.

Bye then, Ms. Baek.

Why?

Are you nervous?

Does my necktie look okay?
It's been bothering me all morning.

It looks good. It looks great.

-Does it look good?
-Yes.

Okay, hold onto this.
I have to go to jury selection.

What is this?

You'll see later.

The necktie looks good.

The judges are entering the chamber.

Please rise.

Have a seat, everyone.

Shall we begin?

-Jury Candidate No. 1.
-Yes?

Do you think the maximum age
for juvenile court should be lowered?

I think it should be lowered.

JURY CANDIDATE

Thank you.

Jury Candidate No. 17.

Yes.

What was on the front page
of the news today?

National apartment prices rise
for 12 consecutive weeks or something.

DAEHAN DAILY

Thank you.

The Daehan Daily, X.

Jury Candidate No. 30,
here is my question.

In life,

you sometimes have important meals.

And some of those meals could take place
at a Chinese restaurant.

Of course.

At such meals, would you eat

tangsuyuk with the sauce poured
over the dish or on the side?

Your Honor.

Yes?

The questions are too playful.

Agreed.

Please watch it, counsel.

Should I ask something else?
You don't seem to like my question.

Should I ask something else?

Okay, I will.

Let's see, then.

Steamed or pan-fried dumplings?

This is a very important question.

Sir, please answer his first question.

-I would like the sauce on the side.
-On the side.

On the...

Then, what would you do

if someone just poured the sauce all over?
Would you be mad?

I would be annoyed,
but I wouldn't do anything.

Okay. Thank you for your answer.

The sauce on the side is the way to go,

but the office manager
always pours it all over.

-Your Honor.
-Go ahead.

The defense counsel is...

too chatty.

Agreed.

Please watch it, counsel.

I apologize.

I will ask the next candidate.

It's taking a long time.

What is this?

The jury trial
for Defendant Lee Myeongho

on the violation of the Aggravated
Punishment of Specific Crimes

will now begin.

We, the jury, do solemnly swear

to justly evaluate the facts

and to render a verdict

according to the evidence and law
presented by this court.

The defendant was arrested

on the charges of attempted theft
against a drunk individual

inside a men's restroom at Seoul Station.

The defendant's been convicted
on identical charges four times.

In addition, the incident occurred
two months after his release.

Therefore, charges have been pressed.

Does the defense agree
with the allegation?

The defendant denies the allegation.

The defendant...

was not trying to steal a wallet.

He was trying to help
a drunk man from falling down.

Prosecution, go ahead.

The prosecution requests as a witness,
the man who was present at the scene.

WITNESS

Sir. What happened
at the time of the incident?

I remember it clearly.

I was urinating in the restroom.

Oh, my! Are you okay?

I felt someone putting his hand
in my pocket from the back.

-What are you doing?
-So I caught him.

There's a pickpocket here!

I found out at the police station

that it wasn't his first time.

There was no doubt.

That will be all.

The defense counsel may cross-examine.

Yes, Your Honor.

Witness.

At the time of the incident,

weren't you drunk?

So, what?

According to the police report,

you testified that you had
two glasses of beer.

Yes.

Did you just have two glasses of beer?

Did you mix soju with it?

-No.
-Not even a drop?

I don't remember.

You don't remember...

Don't you usually drink somaek?

I love somaek too.

-Objection.
-Sustained.

Please stick to the questions
that pertain to the case.

I am trying to establish credibility.

Would the witness accurately remember
the facts before and after the incident?

So, I brought a CCTV clip.

Please take a look.

There, we can see the table where
the witness and his party were seated.

But what was happening there?

What were you doing?

You were making somaek. Right?

You made it
and passed it around to your friends.

Did you drink it too? Did you drink it?

You chugged--

I apologize, you took a drink.

Your Honor,

the defense counsel
is desecrating this courtroom.

Please watch your tone, counsel.

I will, Your Honor.

You claimed you had two glasses of beer,

but we now see that you had more.

Do you agree that your memory
could be wrong?

That was because I was drunk.

It's possible to be mistaken.
It is possible.

Then please tell me, would it be possible

that the defendant was indeed
trying to help you,

but you mistook him for a pickpocket

while being drunk?

Sir. There will be no harm
or disadvantage against you

just because you were mistaken.

But the defendant's life is at stake

based on your testimony.

DEFENDANT

The defense is leading the witness.

Under the Criminal Procedure Act,
it is permitted in cross-examination.

Hmm.

Didn't you know?

Your Honor, but there is
a risk of confusion

or distorting the memory of the witness.

Agreed.

Sir. Please think it over.

The defendant clearly says
he caught you from falling down

when you lost your balance.

Even if it's your job,

think about who you're defending.

That man is a pickpocket
with four convictions!

The witness will only answer
the question that was asked.

-It was a stupid question.
-Witness!

What was the question?

I guess your memory is not that good
during the day either.

-Defense counsel.
-I acknowledge. That will be all.

The prosecution will now cross-examine.

Who is that guy?

That's the defendant's attorney.

The defendant claims
he was helping the witness

who was drunk from falling down.

Let's see how credible his testimony is.

What we can see is
the defendant's student record

up to the point
he dropped out of high school.

There is a consistent comment
throughout his ten years of school.

"He frequently steals from his friends."

"He has a bad habit of stealing."

"He steals."

As you can see, his habit of stealing
started from a young age.

Even as an adult,
he lived a life of a thief

that sent him to jail four times.

I ask the jury to consider
the defendant's credibility,

when he claimed

that he was helping a drunk man,
not stealing his wallet.

The prosecutor is right.

But doesn't the defense attorney
have a good point?

No. If he is
a four-time convicted pickpocket,

his hands would act without even thinking.

That kind of habit can't be cured.

But we should wait and see.

The trial isn't over yet.

My gosh. There is nothing more to see.

It's obvious.

I'm sorry. The choices I made in life
brought me here.

They would believe a drunk man

over an ex-convict.

I would do the same too.

SOMI'S MOM

Mr. Cheon. Somi just fainted.

We're on our way to the hospital
for her surgery.

Mr. Lee,

it's not important
whether the others believe you or not.

You know what you did,

better than anyone.

Let's turn this thing around.

Your Honor,

I would like to submit new evidence.

Objection.

This evidence has not been
previously agreed upon.

It was something that could not be agreed
prior to the trial.

What were you doing
during the preparatory--

The list of evidence must be
submitted and agreed

during the preparatory proceedings,
Your Honor.

It was an unavoidable circumstance.

The prosecution cannot accept it.

Please approach the bench.

Defense counsel,
what is the unavoidable circumstance?

I will tell you
if the submission is allowed.

I can't accept.

Why doesn't the prosecution
review it first?

You can decide afterward.

This is your evidence?

Yes. Do you object to the submission

of this evidence?

ONE DOLLAR LAWYER

I'd like to demand the defendant
to serve five years in prison.

What's the point of having a trial?

Order, defendant!

To you high-and-mighty people, I'm nothing
but a convicted piece of trash.

Bailiff, remove him from the court.

Isn't that a bit lame?

Ms. Baek Mari.

It turns out you can't be
a probationary employee here.

-Grandpa.
-If you can't last two months there,

don't even think of coming back to Baek.

Is this a coffee house or an office?
What's wrong with this place?

Who is it?

Excuse me.
