Original subtitles

- What's the case about? - It's a medical malpractice case.

Mr Shin called and said that he wants you to handle the case.

I guess he wants it to be solved quietly and quickly.

He prescribed anti-cancer drugs for gastric ulcers.

How did the victim's family find out about the prescription error?

They don't know yet. But a whistle-blower came up.

Taking memos helps improve your brain's health.

Six months ago,

you were diagnosed with Alzheimer's.

Let's go.

I heard it was a suicide. Why do you ask me for an alibi?

Your business card was found in Dr Kim's will.

It's not solved yet.

It's not likely that Dr Kim found out the error by chance.

Do you mean there might be another Kim Sun Ho?

She has a seven year old daughter.

Her friend ran away after giving birth.

Did the biological mother come back?

Are you asking me to take this case?

Everyone else could forget about it, but you shouldn't.

You should remember.

You should've remembered! You can't be like this!

What day is it today?

Good for you. Now you're getting punished.

You have Alzheimer's.

Celebrity lawyer Park Tae Seok,

you have Alzheimer's.

(Episode 3)

Who are you?

I told you it wasn't me.

It wasn't me.

Who are you?

I'm not the murderer.

Murderer.

You killed him.

Dad!

Dong Woo.

Dong Woo.

You should go home, Sir.

(Seoul Seonam Police Station)

Yoon Joo Hee?

Yes.

Who are you?

I'm her lawyer, Jeong Jin.

I heard the kidnapping report has been processed.

I listened to both sides of the story,

but their stories don't match.

There are no reasons why she would kidnap the kid back then.

She also neither hurt the child nor asked for anything in return.

On top of that,

she took care of the child that the biological mother neglected.

This cannot be a valid kidnapping.

What are you talking about?

If it's not kidnapping, what is it?

Do you want to be charged for child abandonment for violating...

the Child Welfare Law?

There is no need for another investigation.

The police aren't stupid. They can see what happened.

They just used kidnapping as a threat.

Suing for child extradition?

They're lazy and are hoping for us to surrender first.

If they sue for child extradition, it's going to be difficult for us.

Do you have any ideas?

Call Ms Yoon Seon Hee...

and tell her we won't take her case.

What? What are you talking...

Article 2, Chapter 10.

All citizens deserve dignity and are valuable.

They also have the right to happiness.

The nation must understand the inviolable rights...

individuals hold and is obligated to guarantee those rights.

Have you had dinner?

Yes, I already ate.

Why did you buy that?

It's for Yeon Woo.

All she talks about are puppies.

Our princess is sleeping...

What?

She already had one?

You bought it for her a few days ago.

Don't you remember?

Right...

I remember now.

I... I should cut down on drinking.

All right, let's go to your room.

(Alzheimer's)

(Alois Alzheimer's Brain Damage Comparison)

(Diagnosis)

(Test Process)

(Treatment)

(Drug Intake and Effects, Side Effects of Drugs)

I'm not the murderer.

(Clown mask)

(Who are you?)

(Man)

What is it?

Aren't you coming to bed?

I will. You go ahead first.

We need to discuss something about Jeong Woo.

What about him?

Did his marks drop?

Actually,

I promised him...

I wouldn't talk to you about it.

What's going on?

I must ask you for a favour.

Don't tell Jeong Woo...

Hold on.

Yes.

It's just as I had suspected.

Send me the details through email.

And text me the name and phone number.

Okay. Thank you.

Go to bed first.

What is it? Do you need to tell me something?

I just told you that we have to talk about Jeong Woo.

Right! Yes, that's right.

What...

What is it?

Do you even care about us?

Jeong Woo is worried that he might...

disappoint his father.

But I'm more worried now that you might disappoint him...

and that he might end up having nobody to lean on.

What happened?

I think there's something wrong with my head.

What do you mean?

I...

I'm sorry.

It's not because I don't care.

There are a lot of complicated cases right now. It's hard to focus.

And as you already know,

you know how I am.

I'm not the affectionate type.

Did something serious...

happen to Jeong Woo?

Honey.

You have...

to promise me you won't be emotional after you hear this.

And you can't show it to Jeong Woo that you know.

Gosh. It's so nice to go to work with my son.

From now on, I'll drive you to school every day.

It's okay.

I want to do it.

Did Mum tell you something?

Tell me what?

Nothing.

Jeong Woo.

When I was your age,

I used to be such a troublemaker.

I even drank and smoked.

In your teens,

you can make mistakes, but you learn from them.

That's how you grow up.

Also, no matter what happens, I trust my son.

I trust you completely.

So don't be discouraged. Keep your chin up.

Okay?

Let me get off.

I can drop you off at the gate.

It's okay. Just let me get off here.

I don't mind either.

(Daesang Middle School)

Jeong Woo!

Cheer up.

- Park Jeong Woo! - Park Jeong Woo!

Gosh, that's a nice car.

Is he your dad?

Are you Jeong Woo's friends?

- Yes, hello. - Yes, hello.

- Hi. - You look better in real life.

Can I have your autograph?

It's nice to meet you. Hi.

Treat your friends...

to some snacks.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- You're welcome. - You should go, Dad.

Okay.

I'll see you later.

Hello, Park Tae Seok speaking.

I can come to you.

(Our school is fighting against school violence.)

You look great.

It's all thanks to you.

Maybe we shouldn't have come at the same time.

They might suspect us.

No one would.

I'm sure there's something going on.

What are you talking about?

Ms Han and Mr Lee came in together.

So?

Mr Lee is wearing a tie from my favourite brand.

I saw a bag from that brand in Ms Han's office yesterday.

And Mr Lee's wife is in the States right now.

What are you trying to say?

What's your view on the abolishment of the adultery law?

I'm all for it.

- She's here. - Who?

Ms Yoon Seon Hee. She wants to meet Mr Lee.

- What? - Mr Park hasn't come yet.

I told him about it.

Please take this.

Wait.

How do you feel about falling in love with a married man?

I signed a petition against abolishing the adultery law.

I see.

She has such a progressive body,

but her values are conservative.

(President Kang Joo Han)

Meeting our president won't solve the problem.

If Mr Park won't take this case, I have no other choice.

Look.

If you don't mind, I'll take your case.

It won't be affected by Dr Kim's case.

But the court will be in favour of the mother,

so I can't promise that you'll win.

I have to win no matter what.

No one can guarantee that. Also,

it should be kept hidden from the firm.

That's not okay.

In addition, there's no such thing as a secret.

But if you still want to take this case, let me give you a tip.

The mother is after the money.

She asked the kid's father for money.

Did you find him? How?

He's very wealthy.

He's engaged to a woman from a powerful family.

Are you going to take my case?

If you ask me to do it instead of threatening me,

I'll give it a second thought.

Is this a threat or a favour?

Please take the case. I'm asking you a favour.

But...

there's a condition.

- Good afternoon. - Good afternoon.

You have to ask Hankuk Hospital...

for money.

A document showing that you received money is needed, too.

As I said, I'm not after the money.

I don't trust anyone.

When you have what you want,

you might not keep your promise.

I'll keep my promise.

Promises don't mean anything.

You can change your mind anytime.

- Mr Park. - I need something to fetter you.

Are you trying to make me an accomplice?

Weren't you prepared for that when you proposed the deal?

I'd rather say that we're on the same boat.

Now I understand why Dr Kim...

killed himself.

Also, when everything is over,

hand me over the original will...

and all the prescriptions.

Fine.

But make sure that you protect my niece.

I can promise you.

- I'm going on a blind date today. - Okay.

She's a doctor. She's an anaesthesiologist.

- Congratulations. - Already?

Gosh.

Good afternoon.

Who is she?

She has an aura of power.

There's something noble about her.

Who is she?

How did you become a lawyer?

How do you not know Hwang Tae Sun of Taesun Law Firm?

Is that she?

Yes, she's the icon of humility and giving.

She's the role model of every female prosecutor.

She's the incarnation of gentle charisma...

and the owner of our law firm.

Are you telling me they promised legal adoption?

That's what they want.

If they sue, we can't guarantee the win.

If possible, we should litigate.

What if we can't?

We plan on pushing termination of parental rights.

Your chance of winning is low.

And even if the right is terminated,

there's no guarantee that our client will be able to adopt the child.

I'm sure Lawyer Park has an idea.

On another note,

aren't you mixing up the order of your process?

You should have told me before making the decision.

I'm sorry. It was quite urgent.

There were more urgent situations than this before.

Also, it's something you must discuss with Hankuk Hospital.

I know that. But even if we did, we still wouldn't have a choice.

I know what situation you were in, but you could have called.

I'm sorry.

Since you already promised, it's too late.

If what the biological mother wants is money, won't this be easy?

They claim they won't ever give up on their parental rights.

But a promise was made for the kid to be legally adopted?

That biological mother isn't suited to be a guardian.

It's certain the child will suffer.

Is that why you took the case?

Well, the main reason was for our law firm and our VVIPs.

Because that's also a reason for me.

Lawyer Park.

I have a good judge friends who specialise in this field.

If you need help, just let me know.

It's this way.

How did you find the biological father?

It's useful to know an expert in IT.

Are you referring to hackers?

The biological father's DNA is here. Get it tested.

Why is this necessary?

We have to know if he's the father.

If it's an unmarried single mother, the biological father has no rights.

This isn't a lecture room. Make it urgent.

Okay.

What is this...

What are you doing?

I'll send you the contacts to the DNA test lab via text.

I usually go there myself, but you should get to know these people.

You do a lot more than I thought.

Perhaps you underestimated me.

Ma'am.

When did you get here?

I heard you were in a meeting. Sorry I barged into your office.

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

I told them not to tell you.

Is Chan Moo in?

Yes, he is.

I'm always thankful to you, Lawyer Han.

You're too kind.

I know that you've been beside him, giving him the assistance he needs.

Not at all.

I still have a lot to learn.

Although he doesn't show it, his work requires him to be...

careful with his actions. He must be stressed from people watching him.

He can be impulsive sometimes.

I know you're the cautious type.

So please continue to take good care of him.

I have a long way to go, but I'll try my best.

I'll invite you to our place some time.

If you're seeing anyone, feel free to bring him along.

Yes, Ma'am.

I've contacted Choi Yeo Kyung's lawyer.

Okay.

Lawyer Park.

What did you do with the resignation letter?

What resignation letter?

Lawyer Jeong Jin's resignation letter.

Did he hand in a resignation letter? When?

A few days ago. I saw it on your desk.

I never got it.

I'm positive I saw it...

Maybe it was a mistake. I'm sorry.

(Resignation Letter)

(Resignation Letter)

A detective is asking for you.

You're faster than I thought.

- I'm sorry? - It's brave to turn back when...

you think you've made a wrong decision.

What are you talking about?

I have a friend who married a prosecutor.

And every time they fight, his wife talks as if questioning a suspect.

"Don't make a false confession and say it again with sincerity."

"Show me the evidence that you were working at 11:30pm last night."

"Give me your credit card statement." He gets the chills.

But they're both working in law, so they can share work stories...

and have more room for understanding, so it's good.

I'm sure.

And that friend said...

that I should marry someone who is in law,

preferably a judge, since they have more time.

A judge has to wrestle with records even after hours.

And if you have an affair, you'd get a life sentence or death penalty.

Then I won't have an affair.

I'll take care of her and be thankful to go home after work.

What do you think about marrying a prosecutor?

I've never thought about it.

Then why don't you consider it starting from now on?

That looks like someone you know.

What is he doing?

Seung Ho!

Lee Seung Ho.

Thank you.

Hello.

Is that sultteok?

Yes.

Have some.

I'm okay.

- I can't digest rice cakes. - Then why did you buy it?

No reason.

How nice.

Good boy.

Seung Ho, why don't you give it a try?

Finding out what happened to that old woman...

and studying her case would be a good way to learn.

That's true.

You heard her, right?

Yes.

Why don't you get right to it?

Gosh, my arms. Why are these so heavy?

Why didn't you call me?

Your mother-in-law left it at the concierge, so I brought it.

- Did she? - I guess she didn't want...

to inconvenience you.

Why would she do that? She should have come in.

You know what she's like.

Also, you married her divorced son. I'd be good to you too if I was her.

Stop saying that.

Did I say something wrong?

Goodness, look at how much she sent you.

You're lucky to have a nice mother-in-law.

Do you have something against your son-in-law?

I'm not so happy that he was married once.

Mum.

It's delicious. Give me some.

You're like a typical mother-in-law.

I agree.

Put these in the fridge and let's go to the sauna.

I'd like some massage and shopping as well.

Let's do that next time.

You should have some fun.

Why are you always home?

You deserve expensive handbags and plenty of massages.

You can afford all of that.

She must be busy. She won't pick up.

I didn't do anything wrong.

I'm not going to settle.

I will need four weeks of treatment if I went to the hospital!

Who are you trying to fool?

Also, you deserved this.

What did you say?

Be quiet!

Are you Mr Park Chul Min's wife?

Yes.

Why did you call her?

You gave me her phone number.

I'm sorry.

I apologise on his behalf.

- I'm sorry. - No matter what you say,

I'm never going to settle.

I'm going to put him in jail.

You're the one who will end up in jail.

I'm going to charge you with false accusation.

I don't want to talk with you any more.

Right. Sir, please accuse this jerk...

of adultery as well as assault.

It's been ages since the adultery law was abolished. You fool.

Hey!

Do you want to die? Gosh!

I'm going to charge you with false accusation...

Stop this and sit down!

Do you know who my son is?

My son...

is the famous Park...

I have nothing to do with her.

She's one of the tenants.

I was just listening to her sad stories.

As a janitor...

Let's file for divorce.

What? What are you talking about?

I've been trying to get in touch with you.

Now we can finally file for divorce.

You're misunderstanding me.

Meet as many women as you want.

You can do whatever you want.

Fine.

From now on,

I'll be a good husband and a good father. Okay?

Let's go.

Where are you going?

We should go home.

It's not your home any more.

I'll send the documents to your address.

Sign and return them to me.

I should head to Tae Seok's apartment then.

I'm sure they have some extra rooms.

His wife seemed nice.

Not everyone deserves respect.

If you want...

your child to respect you,

don't ever meet that woman again.

Keep this...

in mind.

I mean it.

Can I not see my son when I want to?

Gosh.

What a sad story.

How much does she want?

It's not money that she wants.

Tell me the truth.

How much did you promise her?

It's true that you should pay her just in case.

It's just what I suggest.

Right.

- Is this you "fettering"? - Yes.

Can I trust that?

It'll be impossible to prove it without the evidence.

That's what I'm talking about.

We could just get rid of the evidence.

What do parental rights and promises have to do with it?

That's totally unnecessary.

Do you understand?

If we go too far, it might create a reverse effect.

We already had a reverse effect.

If you had persuaded Dr Kim, it would have been much easier.

Don't you agree?

It's not only about Hankuk Hospital.

The image of Hankuk Energy Group depends on this as well.

Do you understand?

Yes.

- I do understand. - Then solve it.

Otherwise,

I'm afraid...

I might go too far.

What did Choi Yeo Kyung's lawyer say?

How stubborn.

Okay.

- Meet me there. - Mr Park.

It's been a while.

How are you, President?

I'm not doing well because of the troublemaker in my family.

President Lee told me...

it's not going so well.

Don't worry. It'll turn out fine.

I trust you.

My son-in-law makes me worried.

My son is no better.

Even if he behaves rudely,

please forgive him.

You don't have to worry.

All right. I trust you.

You shouldn't take a day off at a time like this.

Go to the hospital right now.

I'll panic if I go there.

Is it coming back again?

If...

Ms Yoon decides to report it,

will you protect me?

I have a meeting.

Promise me that you'll protect me!

Didn't I already tell you...

to go to the hospital?

I've been...

protecting your secret, too.

Don't you know why I have an anxiety disorder?

It's all because of you!

What's going on here?

Don't get me wrong.

It's just for fun.

People are watching.

Don't act up.

Okay.

She seems to desperately want her parental rights back.

Talking about money didn't work.

What about a DNA test?

I made a request.

But there's one thing I don't understand.

If money is what she's after, there are so many ways to get it.

So why does she want it from the kid's father?

I guess she wants both parental rights and money.

If not,

she might have another purpose.

Another purpose?

Do you have any idea what it could be?

No.

It seems like Yoon Joo Hee won't be able to raise the child.

I didn't kill him.

I mean it.

Do you not...

trust me?

Who are you?

Tell me.

Don't you...

remember me?

Are you going out?

By any chance,

have we ever dealt with a case related to a clown?

Not that I know of. Do you want me to check?

Never mind.

Actually,

please do check.

Okay.

- Tae Seok. - Honey.

Jae Min!

I told you many times!

Wait, wait. Tae Seok, so...

did you meet him? Did you?

- What? - I mean...

You asked me last time.

You said you needed a doctor because of a case.

So I... What is it? Did it not work out?

- Oh, right. - I see.

So it didn't work out.

Too bad. I'll do it.

What's a friend for? I'll do it.

Honey, why are you here?

I...

Let's talk about it at home.

What's wrong?

It's nothing to worry about.

I'll be going now.

Okay, take care.

Bye.

I'll see you at home.

Okay.

What is it?

This is all your fault.

Honey!

Am I a useless husband?

I was going to tell you.

When?

After I die?

Don't be like that.

I didn't want you to worry about something so trivial.

How is that trivial?

You were having trouble sleeping every night,

while I call myself a husband and snored the night away.

Don't scream. People will hear us.

Young Joo.

It's not that serious. I'm really fine.

I'm just sensitive, that's all.

They have good medication these days...

What are you doing?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Why are you sorry?

There are so many things...

I'm sorry for.

I have been...

such a bad husband to you.

Why didn't you tell me?

She made me promise not to tell you.

Also, you have no right to get upset.

You haven't told her either.

Why is everything happening at once?

There's no room for me to breathe.

Let's tackle it one by one. Let's start with yours.

I'll take it.

Do you mean the second test?

Yes, that.

You made a wise decision.

It's too late for today, but I'll schedule you as soon as possible.

Do you have any other symptoms?

Well...

Are nightmares one of the symptoms?

It's different for each person, but there has been such cases.

As the illness progresses, the signals get mixed up.

You should quit drinking. And get some exercise.

Is there a treatment that helps delete only the bad memories?

What?

I'm leaving.

I'll call you.

Na Eun Sun speaking.

Who?

Of course.

I remember you.

Not at all. But why did you call me?

Flowers?

I'm not sure exactly. But ever since about a week ago, someone...

has been placing flowers where Dong Woo got into the accident.

I pass by that route when I go for morning prayers.

I didn't give it much thought for the first few days.

(Gowoori Day Care)

But seeing a new bouquet every day for a week,

it's been on my mind lately.

Yes, I just dropped Jeong Woo off.

Don't worry. He seems to be getting along with his friends.

Hey, why don't we eat out...

for dinner tonight?

It's not because of you. I want to do it.

I already told Jeong Woo.

Yes. You choose the restaurant,

not the kids.

Let's eat anything you want to eat.

Okay. I'll call you.

Mum! I made names for the twins.

What are they?

This is "One", and this is "Two".

Are those their names?

Yes. "Park One" and "Park Two".

If I get a puppy, I'm going to name it "Park Three".

That's cute. How about wearing the dress I bought you to day care?

Well... I'll think about it.

Hold on!

What are you doing?

Oh, it's...

- Hello! - Come in.

Am I visiting a newlywed's house?

"Come in"?

Lawyer Park...

My shoe...

Right. Here.

Thank you.

When are the DNA results coming out?

It should be out today.

Rush them.

Call Choi Yeo Kyung's lawyer and set a time.

And also call Yoon Seon Hee.

- Schedule it in our meeting room. - Yes, Sir.

Are you going to try to negotiate again?

It's something like that.

What does "Something like that" mean?

Yes, Park Tae Seok speaking.

It's me, Na Eun Sun.

Oh, Eun Sun. I mean, Judge Na. Why did you call?

There is something I must check.

Did you leave the flowers?

What flowers?

What are you talking about?

I'm the one asking questions.

I don't know what flowers you're talking about.

Do you really not know what I'm talking about?

What is it?

- Can you explain what... - All right.

Judge Na?

It's him.

It's him.

Hello, Ma'am.

Oh, it's you.

You can take some rice cakes for free today.

You don't have to pay.

I'm here to ask you something.

Can you tell me about your grandson?

I told you we should meet at court.

We requested the court to take away Ms Choi's parental rights.

Before that, the child extradition trial will come first.

The parental rights trial will...

come first.

Have a look.

I'm impressed.

Ms Choi, as the biological mother, is entitled to parental rights.

Under Civil Code Section 924,

when a parent...

is likely to harm the child's welfare,

the parental rights can be deprived.

That doesn't apply to Ms Choi.

She abandoned the child.

Without my sister, the child would have died.

Look at this diagnosis.

The court will consider the fact that Ms Choi had depression.

The fact that she'd been working at an illegal bar...

will work against her in court.

We don't need to hear any of that.

Now I'm training to become a hairdresser.

You were accused of adultery two years ago.

He told me he wasn't married. I was a victim.

You're a credit delinquent, too.

Aren't you trying to blackmail the kid's father for money?

- Don't try to frame me. - I'm just trying to find...

a reasonable solution.

I don't need to hear this any more.

If you give up custody, we can give you the money.

But if you go to court, you'll lose your parental rights.

In addition, you'll be charged with child neglect...

as well as false accusation.

This is not okay.

I don't want this, Sir.

Yeo Kyung and I grew up in the same orphanage.

I know what she went through.

She's not a bad person.

- What are you doing? - She's just been through so much.

So please stop, Sir.

Ms Yoon, can we have a talk outside?

Yeo Kyung.

Could you wait until Eun Ah grows up?

You have a lot going on right now.

No.

I'll raise her.

You're shameless.

What are you doing? Don't you want to keep Eun Ah?

We can't do anything when our client is like that.

It's them who gave up. It's not your fault.

Mr Park.

The DNA test result is out.

Did you know this all along?

I just guessed it.

What are you talking about?

(Test Result)

The man is not Eun Ah's biological father.

I heard there was a war today.

It wasn't that bad.

I'm curious about your plans. Should we go out for a drink?

I can't today.

Do you have plans?

Yes, I'm taking the family out for dinner.

Then you should go.

- See you tomorrow. - Goodbye.

Mum, you look really beautiful today.

Thank you.

What did you think of your dad giving you a ride to school?

It was nice.

What would you like to order?

We're expecting someone.

Oh, I see.

Which restaurant was it?

I was just talking on the phone with her.

Did I leave it in the car?

Where was it?

(Young Joo)

(Tae Seok)

Is he not picking up?

It seems like something came up. Let's eat first.

Dad never keeps his words.

He's just busy.

Yes.

Not yet.

It's too soon!

This... This can't be happening!

Remember. Remember it!

Remember it!

Remember it, you fool!

(Memory)

The pieces of the puzzle came together.

The doctor leaked his patient's information to his friend.

If you dare hurt my friend through an article without evidence,

I'll make sure this becomes a tragic law story.

Don't worry. Just because he saw the case file doesn't mean...

I have a tendency to distrust everyone,

but he has the habit of trusting people.

You can never rely on memories.
