All language subtitles for Delayed Justice E06

If you really are the culprit,

do you have evidence
to support your statement?

At the crime scene, there was
probably traces of water...

on the victim and on the floor.

Let's take a look at the photos
of the crime scene.

Where is the water?

(Witness)

What is that?

Did you know that?

I just thought a bowl of water
in her room spilled.

Witness, why and how...

do you remember the spilled water?

I had no intention to kill her.

We were tying her up in the dark
and accidentally blocked her nose.

I see. Well...

What next?

We panicked to see
that she wasn't breathing,

so Won Bok and I tried to make her
drink some water.

Water!

Ma'am! Please wake up!

Ma'am!

Please wake up, ma'am.

We tried our best to save her,

but it was too late.

Prosecutors.

Counsel.

Do you have anything to add?

Witness, can't it be also said
that the water was always there,

and the bowl just spilled over?

I got cold water from the kitchen,

and I spilled it myself.

How can you be sure of that?

When you kill someone,

you can't forget it easily.

Witness.

How does it feel to have told
the truth?

To be honest,
I'm scared and nervous.

Do you have any last words
you'd like to say?

I'd like to sincerely apologize
to the lady who passed away,

her family, and those who took
the blame instead of me.

I can't turn back what I did,
so I won't ask for forgiveness.

But I will...

take the punishment now,
even if it's late.

Let's take a break,

hold the defendant questioning,
then close the trial.

The witness confessed,
saying he'll take his punishment?

It was completely unexpected
and beyond my control.

Between Kang Sang Hyun's
and Lee Cheol Gyu's confessions,

which one sounds more believable
and in line with the case?

The presiding judge has the sole
authority over which confession...

is admitted into evidence
and relied upon.

You understand what I mean,
don't you?

You may head out now.

(Chief Judge Yoon So Yun)

Yes.

Young judges these days are
so unexpected.

Please keep a good eye on them.

Also,

I believe that to reform
the court administration,

I'd like to recommend
a female judge...

as Supreme Court Justice.

Thank you.

I made myself clear
to Judge Heo Jae Young.

We didn't kill the old lady.

Hey, you. You can't do this now.

I'm only getting 300 dollars
to do this.

Defendant Lim Soo Chul,
you ran away as soon as you saw...

Oh Jae Soo and Jung Hae Yul
in February 2013, right?

Yes, but...

Please only answer yes or no.

Yes, sir.

Defendant Choi Jae Pil,
in February of 2013,

you wrote a confession...

at the Samjung Police Station
admitting the crime.

Correct?

Yes.

Defendant Kang Sang Hyun.

You heard the recording
of your confession.

You made that statement
in January of 2014...

in Jang Yoon Suk's office.

Correct?

Yes. It was written...

Answer yes or no!

Mr. Kang.

Did you go to Dawoo Supermarket?

No, I did not.

I never even met the old lady.

Let me ask you something.

Then why did you not deny
the crime...

during your trial in 2014?

Your Honor.

You know better than anyone...

why Mr. Kang and his friends
couldn't tell the truth back then.

The defendants accept
all the charges set forth...

in the indictment that they caused
the victim's death...

while robbing Dawoo Supermarket.

They deeply regret it.
If you'd show mercy,

they will do their best
as upright citizens going forward.

During a trial,

everyone begins by saying,
"Your Honor."

However,

I am having a difficult time
saying "honor".

That is my honest truth.

Defendant Kang Sang Hyun.

When he was seven,
his mother drank a pesticide...

and died.

Immediately before she died,
she held him tightly.

Sang Hyun. It's okay.

Sleep with Mommy.

He remembers that night
as the warmest in his life.

Defendant Choi Jae Pil.

His mother was paraplegic,

and his father had
a high-level spinal disability.

With a development disability
himself,

he worked as a day laborer...

and took care
of his disabled parents.

When he asked to be sent home...

to take care of his parents,

the prosecutor wrote this
in the case file.

I have to go home.

My mom and dad are both ill.

"He seems mentally disabled.
He keeps babbling."

Both of his parents passed away
within a year of his incarceration.

Defendant Lim Soo Chul.

He had a history
of sleeping out on the streets.

He took his younger sisters...

and fled under a bridge to escape
their father's violent abuse.

Get away from here!

They ate watermelon
to fill their stomachs.

He wanted to eat something
other than a watermelon,

so he stole money from a truck...
and ended up being framed.

Your Honor.

Developmentally disabled minors...

who resided in the town in which
the victim was killed...

were framed for her murder.

That is the truth of the case.

The police, prosecutors,
and the judge.

Everyone shunned the truth.

Was it an unavoidable mistake?

Or because they disrespected them
as being beneath them?

Your Honor.

Prosecutors.

It isn't that difficult...

to soften a hardened heart...

and open a closed heart.

Saying you're sorry...

That's all it'll take.

However, during this trial
in this courthouse,

not a single cop, prosecutor,
or judge responsible for this...

said a single word of apology.

Only the real culprit
Lee Cheol Gyu...

said he was sorry.

Is it that difficult...

to say you're sorry?

Bearing this sadness in my heart,
I rest my case.

Please console the defendants
by finding them...

not guilty.

I rest my case.

His closing argument is simple
and yet a work of art.

That's why I hang out with him.

I'm picky with people.

We will render our decision.

There are two confessions
to the crime...

in this case.

I find Lee Cheol Gyu's confession
unreliable.

I differ. I think his testimony
is more consistent...

with the facts.

I agree.

Whereas Kang Sang Hyun's confession
is in a recording,

I suspect whether it was made
voluntarily.

The three defendants are innocent.

The presiding judge has the sole
authority over which confession...

is admitted into evidence
and relied upon.

You understand what I mean,
don't you?

Defendants...

Lim Soo Chul,

Kang Sang Hyun,

and Choi Jae Pil are found...

not guilty.

The court gives our apologies
to the defendants who were framed...

and suffered for many years
as a result thereof.

Park Tae Yong! You rock!

A warrior for the underdogs!
A master of reversals!

- Please take me!
- Sit down.

What?

Yoon Suk.

Shouldn't you apologize to me
as well?

Ms. Hwang Min Kyung.
Are you feeling ill?

You degraded the honor
of Prosecution Services.

Aren't you apologetic
to all the prosecutors?

Hey, you.
All prosecutors are the same.

We are all one. Don't you know that?

People really don't change.

Things will be tough for a while.

Take care.

Crybaby. You've gotten brave.

You'll rot in jail
for about five years.

Sir.

I'm not doing this
because I'm brave.

I'm doing this because I know shame.

Cheol Gyu. What do you mean, shame?

That's a foreign word
for prosecutors.

They wouldn't do these things
if they knew the word.

Sam Soo. Why you...

- Please tell us how you feel.
- How do you feel?

- Please excuse us.
- Please tell us.

I'm outnumbered today, so I'll go.

I'll see you all later.

This is a momentous occasion.

- How do you feel?
- How do you feel right now?

Mr. Park! Tell us how you feel!

Sorry, I'll make a statement later.

A decision by a candidate for
Chief Justice...

of the Supreme Court was overturned.

Yes, I'll discuss that later too.

How does the trio feel?

Please give us a statement!

Mr. Lee Cheol Gyu, will you go
to the police station now?

Please give us a statement!

Mr. Park! Take Yoo Kyung with you.

Please tell us how you feel.

- What are your plans?
- A statement, please!

It's been a while
since we've been in the same car.

It has.

Where are we going?

We're going to
the Dawoo victim's grave.

Lee Cheol Gyu apologized
to Choi Young Sook...

and is visiting the victim's grave.

Did you guys...

think of and plan this
on top of the trial?

You guys are amazing.

I don't know whether or not
it was prepared in advance.

Mr. Park said let's do it,
so I'm doing it.

I see.

- Hello?
- Everyone else is posting articles!

What's wrong with you?

What?

- What's going on?
- It's bad enough...

the real culprit
says he'll go to jail,

but he's going to apologize
to the victim's family.

What a great picture.

Why that...

Thank you.

And I'm sorry.

Don't be.

I can finally go see her.

It broke my heart...

when you said your body was free,
but your heart was in prison,

You need to apologize like this...

to lift the burden
on your heart a little.

Do lawyers usually counsel criminals
regarding their emotional state?

I know you did something wrong,
but don't put yourself down so much.

Although those who fabricated
the case shut their mouths,

but you had the courage
to come clean.

The court overturned
its initial ruling...

on the Samjung
three-man murder case.

As witness Lee claimed
responsibility for the crime,

Lim Soo Chul, Choi Jae Pil,
and Kang Sang Hyun...

cleared their names.

They're talking about us.
Why did you turn it off?

- Jae Pil.
- What?

Are we going to a party now?

No.

I put the three of you
through so much.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

Ma'am, I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'll spend the rest of my life
repenting.

I said we should solve it
when a better day comes.

I guess that day has come.

My senior colleague,
who brought in the wrong guys,

took the real murders away.

Keep this for as long as you can,

and use it when the world is
a better place.

Mother.

Goodness, Mr. Park.

We were worried
you'd disappear with the criminal.

Every police officer is born...

with the strong determination
to hunt down all criminals.

The real culprit has finally been
caught after seven years.

In addition, you're the one
handing him over to us.

We may have gotten off
on the wrong foot,

but in the end, we're having...
What's that called?

- A happy ending.
- Yes, a happy ending.

The Dawoo Supermarket case
is finally over!

Let's see here.

You have the right to have
a great lawyer like Mr. Park.

Also, you have the right
to keep your mouth shut.

Got it?

Guys, why didn't you tell us
you didn't do it?

Gosh. Hey!

Officers, we're at someone's grave.
Will you keep it down, please?

I'd appreciate it
if you could leave soon.

Okay. It's just that it took
seven years. Let's go.

Let's go.

Mr. Lee.

I've gotten in trouble many times
in my life,

but this is the first time
I've had a lawyer on my side.

Get in.

Do you call yourselves
police officers? You morons.

Who gives you the right to take me?

- I'm innocent!
- Be quiet!

I'm not going. I can't!

Aren't the prosecution
and the police getting punished?

What about the judges? What is this?

Are they getting
a promotion or a bonus...

for catching the culprits?

Even if they did something wrong,

it's too late to punish them.

It'll be hard
to prove them guilty too.

Have you ever heard
about prosecutors or judges...

getting punished...

for their faulty investigations
or rulings?

That kind of thing never happens.

So give up.

Now, let's get going.

Let me buy you all a drink.

My wound was healed today.

Let's go. Come on.

Ms. Lee, let's go.

Why can't you do anything right?

You failed to settle with the kids,

failed to persuade the culprits,

and even lost the trial.

I'm sorry.

Is there anything you're good at
other than studying?

Have you ever been number one
except in school?

Answer me!

I can't remember.

Fine, you were considered a genius
in your village, so what?

I let a poor farmer's son like you
marry my daughter.

Shouldn't you at least
catch some rat for me in return?

- You're right.
- And?

You can't even control
a high school grad lawyer...

and a punk who used to
clean up dog poop for me.

Don't you think that's shameless?

How can your performance be so bad?

It's been 10 years since I accepted
you into my family.

Listen.

I can't stand shameless people.

Keep that in mind.

Get out.

How many cows do you have to sell
to make 2.8 million dollars?

I'm sorry.

Once you become the Chief Justice
of the Supreme Court,

you'll be the third most important
person in the whole country.

You shouldn't be bowing...

to someone like me.

I have nothing to say.

It wasn't even a political case.

You only made a small mistake
regarding a petty crime.

I apologize for causing trouble
before the confirmation hearing.

Think about the old days.
This is nothing.

Under military rule,
judges and prosecutors...

cooperated many times.

Without our intelligence,

the military government
couldn't have existed.

They relied on the hard work
of people like you.

Times have changed
and people are better off now,

but if we start finding fault
with past trials,

how many do you think would survive
in the legal world?

You're absolutely right.

You can't ask for compensation just
because you went to prison unfairly!

Think of all the people
who have fought for the country!

Supreme Court Justice Jo,
you have a lot to do in the future.

Do put an end to this.

Yes, I will.

Attention, everyone.

Without Ms. Choi Young Sook,

we wouldn't have made it this far.

Let's give her a big hand.

Ms. Choi, please say something.

Because of the trauma,

I couldn't walk
outside at night for seven years.

But I think I can now.

I hope only good things will
happen to you from now on.

Ms. Lee is working so hard.
How can you be eating?

Are you enjoying
working alone at this hour?

Are you eating chicken
or your fingers?

It's so gross that I can't focus.

The file you talked about...
Was it the recording of Mr. Kang?

It was nothing.
Why did you keep it from me?

Did Mr. Moon tip you off about it?

Now you're talking.

Finish up
and come back to the table.

I put aside some fleshy drumsticks
for you.

Look at you smile.

Hey, I'm sorry.

For the harsh things I said.
I trust you.

- Why?
- Just because.

You don't need a reason
to trust someone.

That sounded so cool, right?

Hurry up.
Your chicken will get cold.

I can't let your chicken get soggy.

I want it to be crispy.

Crispy on the outside
and juicy on the inside, okay?

You pulled it off.

You have my admiration, Mr. Park.

I just did as you said.

I couldn't have done it without you.

When I have some free time,
can I join you two?

- I'll be the one interviewing you.
- Okay.

Gosh, this is crazy.

Cash is piling up.

How much?

We have 42,000 dollars now.

Also, when will the criminal
compensation be paid?

Let's not rush things.

Come on. Honey...

Let's just go all the way.

Why are you taking your sweet time
with this?

I've never seen you two have
such a steamy conversation.

Mr. Park has been single
for a really long time.

I have to help him out.

You don't have to write about me.

Please write a great article
on her instead.

I'm fine.

Men always take the spotlight
by themselves anyway.

You two can take credit
for this case.

Come in.

Ms. Lee, I have a question.

You can ask.

Don't take it the wrong way.

I'd appreciate it if you could
answer honestly.

Okay.

Was...

my closing argument awesome?

Sorry?

Yes. You're the sexiest
when you're in court.

I'm going to be ecstatic
all night if you say that.

Thanks.

You're the best when you're
investigating and writing articles.

You just sparkle.

You sparkle even more than usual.

"And so, truth found its freedom."

You were looking for me?

I read your article.

Are you writing literature
instead of articles these days?

- Sorry?
- You didn't pick up my calls,

nor did you report to Ms. Shin
about your whereabouts yesterday.

Aren't you busy with managing
the company?

Or are you just keeping watch
on people?

Don't you think she's getting
big-headed...

now that we've treated her
like the ace of the team?

I'm just finding my place
as a news reporter.

Please don't give me orders
that aren't in line with my work.

Everything is for your work.

We need to build a nice building
and give you guys a good salary...

so that you can just focus
on investigating and writing!

There are countless press companies
just out by Gwanghwamun.

Are they chasing the truth
like they should be,

or are they just busy getting money
in their pockets?

Ms. Lee, we're different!

We're not going to be like that.

I sure hope not.

I don't need to spy
on Attorney Park anymore, right?

That's just sharing information,
not spying!

I'm going to do my job...

as the ace now.

- Honey, I've decided.
- On what?

I'm going to stick
right to Mr. Park.

You know that I can be
very clingy.

You've supported me
for the last five years,

so I'll now move
onto Attorney Park...

and suck out everything good
out of him.

No, I meant to say,
I'll write good articles,

and send you a trip abroad.

Money just comes in as I sleep.

See? I have 45,000 dollars already.

The money isn't just coming in.

It's coming in
because you wrote something.

Don't think about how you can
earn more money.

Focus on how you can write
better news.

What do you say to a food tour
around Taiwan?

Or maybe an Audi tour...

in Barcelona?

It's Gaudi, not Audi.

Is that right?

Honey, my father wants to see you.

Would you be okay with that?

Sure, but don't you think
things are moving too fast?

- You don't want to?
- It's nothing like that.

I've got loads of money.

Just set the date!

Can you dress Jae Yun?

Uncle!

Jae Yun, you're glowing
after that shower.

Let's wear something white today.

Uncle, can I really take
piano lessons again?

Piano lessons?

Aren't you already as good
as Cho Seong Jin?

- Let's learn something else.
- Like what?

Let's take time,

lots of time, to think about it.

Tae Yong, Yi Yun as well.

Uncle, I want to learn taekwondo!

Yi Yun, you're already good.

Remember how you beat a friend up
and I had to apologize at school?

You said that I should be
in the Olympics.

You're good at fighting,
but you have to be smart.

Stop training physically
and stay home...

to train your brain first.

You're not holding
a press conference this time?

A person has been arrested.

I can't just happily talk about it.

(Payment Memorandum)

I've prepared this
in case you forgot.

- What is it?
- See? You forgot again!

It's a memo...

regarding the reward fee
for the Samjung case.

You signed this too! You can't
pretend that you forgot.

It's an oath...

that you'll split all fees
and awards if you win the case.

Evenly 50-50 between us.

But 60-40. I get 60.

When are you going to give me
my share?

Mr. Park,

see how I didn't hold
a press conference this time?

Right. Why didn't you?
This is our time right now.

Let's have one tomorrow!

Lee Cheol Gyu is under arrest!

Don't you feel bad for his wife
and his family?

Is this really the time for us...

to talk about money and celebrate?

Hey!

Why are you so violent?

Your lines are so intricate,
but your actions so violent.

I'll give you this instead.

This is my love.

Aren't we eating this together?

You called Lee Cheol Gyu up
to the court with your article.

I just did what I always do.

It will soon break 50,000.

This is also my love.

I have such a good eye for people.

I didn't have to run...

to call the real suspect
to the court, and earn money.

I'm amazing.

You? Not me?

Attorney Park?

All of this is...

working out so smoothly
because you met me.

We just have good teamwork.

"Candidate Jo Ki Soo Says He Doesn't
Remember the Samjung Case".

"He Feels Sorry about the Retrial."

He's ruining my meal.

How can this man be in charge
of the Supreme Court?

I'm disgusted. I can't eat anymore.

You're already done.

Who's there? Attorney Park is busy.

We don't think alike.

I just arrived at the airport.

I just arrived at the airport.

My ears are bad
so I can't hear well.

Please speak louder.

- Where?
- I just arrived at the airport!

Hyochung Care Home in Aewol?

Yes, sir!

(Jeju District Court,
Ruling of the Court)

(Defendant Oh Jae Duk,
Life imprisonment)

(Verdict)

(Hyochung Care Home)

Aren't you hot?

Your armpits are drenched.

Why are you wearing long sleeves?

We doodled on our bodies
back when we were immature.

Tattoos are
an expression of your style.

The doodles on our body
are different from tattoos.

Anyway, our boss doesn't like it
when they show.

He says it scares people.

How may we help you?

I forgot to introduce myself.

I'm Han Sun Woong from Osung.

I'm Park Tae Yong.

I'm originally from Yeosu.

Sun Woong means "scared hero".
My father named me that...

to become a great man
like Admiral Yi Sun Sin.

You know how idols have nicknames?
I'm Sun Sin Sun Woong.

I'm Jae Il.

Just like him, call me
"Joseon Jae Il".

The sexiest man in Joseon.

Anyway, how may we help you?

I was distracted.

We're here about our boss.

We saw on the news
that you're an awesome lawyer.

Have you heard...

of the trucker murder in Osung
in 2002?

So, what happened was,

someone stabbed the trucker
ruthlessly with a knife.

He was stabbed a whopping 17 times.
17 times.

What does that mean? What?

What else? He had a grudge.

Exactly! It was without a doubt
a grudge killing.

But our boss was framed for it!

My blood is boiling
from thinking about it again.

- Another frame job for murder?
- Yes.

Our boss was only 17 at the time,
and he was framed.

You're a lawyer...

and you're a reporter?

- Yes, that's right.
- Yes.

You look kind of wasted.

Well, sure.

Please help us.

Well...

So, you're saying a 17-year-old boy
was framed...

- for the 2002 Osung trucker murder.
- Yes.

So do you still work for your boss?

We got into some trouble
and went to jail when we were young.

Our boss helped us a lot
so we wouldn't go astray.

Once we got out,
we worked for about three months...

beating up protestors
and intimidating people.

People called us gangsters
and things like that, but now,

we've completely cleaned up.

- We run an interior design company.
- I see.

Why didn't he come himself
instead of sending you?

Our boss...

He is very insecure because
he only finished grade school.

He breaks out into a cold sweat
when he's with educated people.

He can't talk or anything.

We're intellectuals
who finished eighth grade.

That's why we're fine
meeting with a lawyer.

We can communicate just fine.

That's right. My apologies.

But our boss...

can't carry on sophisticated
conversations like us.

No.

Do you not do bad things anymore?

Mr. Park. We're not like that.

We went to jail back then
because we got into a little fight,

but only because we didn't have
money to settle.

Please help us.

We want to start a new life,

but our boss's murder conviction...

makes it hard.

If he stabbed him 17 times,

he must've been evil.

I told you, didn't I?
He was pure evil.

I can't give you false hope,
so I'll be blunt.

I may not be able
to take on the case.

Let me look it over
and get back to you.

How many years
was your boss in prison?

- 10 years.
- 10 years?

Ten years?

Ten years. That's a million dollars
in compensation...

and another from the government.
That's two million.

And at a 10 percent contingency fee,
that's 200,000 dollars.

I know. I do.

- That's a lot of money.
- I know.

- Then say you'll take the case.
- I'm the lawyer here.

I'll look it over and contact you.

Okay, then. We'll leave you
our boss's wife's number.

- Okay.
- We'll take that.

Ask them for exclusivity.

- Quiet.
- We need to win them over.

Here.

I was tortured a long time ago,

so I can't hear out of my left ear!

This right ear
isn't that good either.

- I see.
- So?

Why did you come from Seoul?

Jo Ki Soo! Candidate for
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court!

Who? Talk louder!

Jo Ki Soo!

That evil scumbag!

Who's cursing at someone so loudly?

Did someone sin against you?

I'm sorry.

Jo Ki Soo.

That man succeeded.

I saw him on TV recently.

I haven't heard anything
in any particular detail.

So, if I do hear anything specific,

- I will...
- You did this to me,

- Thank you.
- But you're successful.

This is the spot.

When I was 15 years old,

I fled by boat to Japan.

There were about 30 people
on the boat.

When you were 15?

There was even a woman
with an infant.

Many people from Jeju Island...

fled by boat to Japan
a long time ago.

Since there was no way
to make a living.

They risked their lives
and crossed the sea...

in order to survive.

I returned to my home country
in 1989...

and came right here.

But not long after,

I was dragged to the police station
for no reason.

I suffered
all sorts of terrible torture...

and was framed for being a spy.

What kind of torture
did they do to you?

They tied my hands
behind my back like this,

and they stomped on my legs...

with all their body weight.

They beat me up so hard,

that they ruptured my eardrum.

We have to take this case.

People without a family
to worry about like us should do it.

Who else will catch someone
who stabbed a man 17 times?

We don't have a family? Who doesn't?

I may not talk about it,
but I'm supporting four people.

Including my second mother,

there are 5 people
that I must provide for. 5!

I couldn't do it because of money,

but if I apply for public housing,
I'll be picked for sure.

We have a big family, never owned
a house, 300,000 dollars in debt.

I have everything but money.

I have no family?

I have too many.

Me too. I may not be married,
but I have a live-in girlfriend.

I have to meet her family.

And I promised her we'd go
to Barcelona to visit Gaudi's...

Exactly. So let's not do it.
I have a bad feeling about it.

Let's at least take a look.

No! Don't open it.

A person died a cruel death.

This has pictures and everything.

- Just a peek.
- No!

You'll have nightmares. I mean it.

You shouldn't touch things like this
that recklessly.

You are so sensitive.

There's an image that I've worked
very hard to build.

Even if they were wronged,
I can't defend a gangster.

They said they weren't gangsters!

They're not?

They go, "Boss!"
And have tattoos all over.

There you go again.
Like when you first saw me.

Judging people
based on their appearance.

That's different.
They really went to...

They've been in prison.

It was a whole 10 years.

That's a nice angle.

You cleared the names of
the homeless man after five years,

the Samjung trio after six years.

You cleared their names.

What year do you move onto next?
Ten years.

Jail time isn't about math.

We don't know whether or not
he was really framed.

Mr. Park. People have something
called "tolerance".

You got 5 years, and then 6.

If you help people who were in jail
for 3 or 4 years, they won't care.

Furthermore,

think of the contingency fee.

Think about that.

A million from
The Justice Department...

and a million from the government.
That's two million dollars.

10 percent of 2 million
is 200,000 dollars in fees.

Contingency fee.

Contingency fee.

Contingency fee.

Let's go, Park Tae Yong. Let's go.

I'm not sure.

You won't do it? After all that?

- Please eat.
- Was overturned.

Testimonies made in court
are the most reliable...

and given the greatest weight.

I've brought the trial records...

from 2013.

All three of the defendants...

confessed when they were in court.

If even one of them had denied it,

I would've decided differently.

During my 30 years as a judge,

I've rendered my decisions
based on the law and my conscience.

What is he saying?

He says he always followed
the law and the rules!

That liar.

How could he lie
with such a straight face?

(Supreme Court Justice Jo Ki Soo)

Jo Ki Soo was like a deity...

to all of us.

A deity?

People who are framed
and imprisoned...

do not pray to a deity up there.

They pray to the judges
sitting on the bench.

Because our fate was in their hands.

The cops beat me.

The prosecutors didn't believe me.

But I still had one person
to turn to.

I hoped at least the judge...

would believe me.

Every day, I prayed desperately,

thinking of the judge.

"Your Honor,"

"please believe what I say..."

"and set me free."

That's what I prayed.

I told the judge,

our deity, countless times.

Your Honor,

I was tortured by the police
for 45 days.

I couldn't take it anymore,

so I lied that I was a spy.

I'm almost deaf in my left ear...

because the eardrum ruptured.

I'm not a spy.

Please believe me.

The sentence will be passed
in two weeks.

"Try rolling up your pants."

"Let me have a look at your ear."

Didn't the presiding judge,
Jo Ki Soo, say anything like that?

If he did,

I wouldn't feel this frustrated.

How could your deity do that to you?

How could he?

I resent...

the judges even more...

than the cops who tortured me.

For violating the National Security
Law by acting as a spy,

the defendant is sentenced to life.

Your Honor, please have a look
at the wounds on my body!

I beg you! I'm innocent!

I'm not a spy, Your Honor!

- Next defendant, Kang Ju Seong.
- I'm not!

Judges are the last hope...

of powerless people like me.

And he trampled on my trust in him.

That hurt even more...

than the cops' beating.

Betrayal hurt more...

than the beating.

It all happened because I was
foolish and powerless.

It's all my fault.

How is it your fault?

Jo Ki Soo is neither apologizing
nor taking responsibility.

Why are you blaming yourself?

(Attorney Park Tae Yong)

- Ms. Lee is in Aewol, Jeju Island.
- What is she doing there?

Is she seeing someone?

What?

What are you talking about?

I know a reporter at...

What was it called? Right, YBS.

He's a cool guy. Very good-looking.

He's from Aewol, Jeju Island.

Yoo Kyung is pretty close to him.

Look at this. This guy here.

Here.

He's not that good-looking.

- You think so?
- This is no big deal.

But isn't it a good thing
if they're dating?

- It is.
- Nothing wrong about that.

- Right?
- I guess.

Ms. Shin, I'm on my way back
from the interview.

Good job.

Get back safe.

Turns out,
Judge Jo Ki Soo has made...

many problematic rulings so far.

Not everything you write
gets published, though.

You need the editor
and director's permission.

You know that, right?

(Attorney Park Tae Yong)

I'll go write some...

No. I'll go make some money.

I should make a lot of money...

for you to take gang cases
without worrying, right?

(Attorney Park Tae Yong)

He called me so many times.

I hope everything's okay.

Hello?

You were on a plane?

So that's why I couldn't reach you.

I was very worried.

I called you five times...

during the 30-minute flight?

Yes, I had five missed calls
from you.

The world is dangerous these days.

I was so worried
that I had to call five times.

By the way,

what did you do in Jeju Island?

Oh, an interview?

Are you writing
another exclusive story?

So you were working.

Mr. Mayor,
you didn't have to wait outside.

Of course, I should.

How about we go for a drive?

I never say no
to a late-night drive.

My goodness.

There's something...

I need to discuss with the mayor
in private.

- Mr. Jang, please get out.
- Okay. I'll...

I'll see you later.

Gosh.

Jo Ki Soo will still be
the next Chief Justice.

Prosecutor Jang Yoon Suk...

will be promoted
to head prosecutor too.

I see. Thank you.

If Prosecutor Jang...

wants to run
in the next general election,

he should work harder.

He's not good enough yet.

He comes from a humble background,

so he still has
a hard time adjusting.

I'll pay more attention to him.

To achieve great things,

you should sometimes
even cut off a family member.

I see.

Start selling the offices
in Techno Town now.

If you hold on to them longer,
it'll cause trouble.

Give a lot, and take even more.

Okay. Got it.

We've collected
48,000 dollars so far.

I'll write another story
so we can go over 50,000 dollars.

You're getting more and more vulgar.

It's not cool to be so blatant.

It was to realize true journalism...

that I launched that service.

To allow people
to sponsor good articles.

Can't we at least say that?

But that's too cringy.

Who am I to talk about journalism...

and alternatives?

If you think about it,
I do deserve to, though.

Anyway, thank you so much.
You saved us.

Mr. Park, where are you?
Can you come over?

I'll buy you a drink.

Hey, can't you just come
if I tell you to?

Are you being so cold
because we had one fight?

I have to go make money.
I can't drink.

What?

Did he just hang up on me?

Why would I go there? Am I crazy?

Hey.

How did you win Lee Cheol Gyu over?

It's a business secret.

Don't ask. That's unprofessional.

By the way, Mr. Park, you know what?

My father-in-law loves you.

He says you're amazing
at cleaning up dog poop.

He loves Lawyer Park Tae Yong too...

because he chooses the path
no one else chooses.

The pioneer of the creative economy!

I don't want to be reminded
that I cleaned up dog poop,

so please stop talking about it.

Oh, your head.

I once hit you on the back of your
head while you were kneeling down.

Are you okay now?

Goodness, I'm sorry.

Why did you tell me to come?

Well, it's just...

I was feeling lonely.

I went from being a village boy
to a wealthy man's son-in-law.

Do you have any idea
how empty I feel inside?

- My goodness.
- Life is hard.

It sure is.

- Darn it.
- What happened?

Hey, are you asleep?

Darn it. I don't have time for this.

- Okay, we're here. The door's open.
- Hey.

Get it together, man.

Why is a jobless guy...

taking care of the son-in-law
of a conglomerate owner?

- Hey.
- Goodness.

Honey.

This is Park from S University
who destroyed me.

She's the future director
of Seungwoon Academy. My wife.

Say hi.

Okay. Hello. He's very drunk.

Hey, you.
Do you want to be a professor?

Want a job at a university
that Seungwoon runs?

Honey, what do you say?

What...

That's how she is. The ice princess.

She thinks she's Elsa.
She's cold as ice.

Hey, you! Park!

Darn you.

Thanks.

Someone who lives
in a house like this...

gets drunk and whines
that he's lonely and sad.

"The past of Jo Ki Soo, our deity."

Let me see the conclusion.

Where did you get this?

There are people doing a sit-in
in front of the courthouse.

They introduced me to this
history professor, Hyun Dong Moon.

Now that the Sam Soo issue
is over, there's another problem.

Isn't it safe...

to report about Jo Ki Soo?

If he becomes the next
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court,

he is the third highest
in all of Korea.

We even took down the president,
who was the highest.

Why are you afraid
of the third highest?

Ms. Lee. Wait outside.

I have faith in Mr. Moon Joo Hyung,
who was once a true reporter.

Sure.

We can't print this. Bury it.

How can we bury it?
The reporters will protest.

You figure it out! Just bury it!

Must I lay it all out for you?

What's the big deal
about Jo Ki Soo...

Jo Ki Soo will become
the chief justice soon.

Next year is the general election.

The presidential election
is the year after.

Don't you see the controlling party
has weakened?

Don't you see the new party
sweeping in like a tsunami?

Don't give me an attitude.
Stop it at all costs.

Give me some time.

This afternoon at the Blue House,
President Lee...

issued a Letter of Appointment
to Supreme Court Justice Jo Ki Soo.

President Lee said...

Get the decisions...

for all the appeals
and beef up your story...

if you want it to print.

We should see on what basis
the Supreme Court decided that.

- Must I explain more?
- No.

I'll investigate more.

Time goes really slowly in here.

That's not good already.

I know how that feels.

When I was in a holding cell
at a police station before,

time really crawled.

You've been in a holding cell
at a police station?

I went to high school twice.

I fought a lot...

and used to be reckless.

I haven't been to jail in a while,

but it still has the same vibe
as long ago.

- In what way?
- There are many without parents.

People who wouldn't have
come to jail...

if they had parents
or any family...

who could help and protect them.

People who couldn't pay
a few grand to settle.

It's full of people like that.

I see.

I feel bad.

Your child must be growing.

I feel terrible when I think
about your wife and child.

Once I pay for my sins here
and get out,

I'll raise my baby well.

I've repented,
I'll pay for my sins,

I'll live with a penitent heart
for the rest of my life.

Who would complain?

I'll check in on your wife and baby
when I can.

Mr. Park. You've been here
for almost four hours.

Shouldn't you go?

Look at the time.

Okay, I'll get going now.

Mr. Park.

Why did you come today?

I thought you'd be bored,

so I came to keep you company.

Rich inmates do this often.
They pay their lawyers to visit.

There's isn't much I can do for you.

I'll visit now and then.

Thank you.

(He was desperate for 10 dollars)

(To: Kim Kwi Hyun)

Hi, Kwi Hyun. I'm sending you
two articles at once.

Let's go!

(Mail sent)

Nice, Sam Soo. His articles
are becoming works of art...

ever since he met me.

Hello?

Okay. I'm sorry.
I'll move my car right away.

I'm sorry about that. Okay.

The money keeps coming in.

We'll become rich at this rate.

We don't envy the west.

In Korea, we have Sam Soo
of New Media.

We're doing it Sam Soo style?

I like the sound of that. Right?

Our balance keeps shooting up.

That's hot. So hot.

That genius Kwi Hyun.

His ingenuity is shooting through
the roof since he met me.

Hot. So hot.

Sweetie. Book our flight
to Barcelona.

And how about a hanwoo
short ribs set...

for when we visit your father?

Don't worry. Who am I?

I can afford that much.

I didn't hear from you much
after the Samjung City case ended,

so I was very hurt,
if I can be honest with you.

Yes, sir.

Thank you very much for the tip
on Jo Ki Soo.

I'll think it over and call you.

Yes, sir.

Also, I'm going to give you a lot
in Techno Town...

to News and New.

Will 1,652m² do? In zone A-3.

Thank you, Mr. Mayor!

I'll serve you with all my heart...

and join you until you reach
the highest place.

Goodness. Stop that, man.
Kneeling is tacky.

- Get up.
- Yes, sir.

- Get up.
- Yes, sir.

Goodbye, sir.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Don't get me started.

Jo Ki Soo decided incorrectly
on many cases.

If he becomes the next
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court,

he is the third highest
in all of Korea.

Get the decisions...

for all the appeals
and beef up your story...

if you want it to print.

We should see on what basis
the Supreme Court decided that.

This is what I have.

Search for the appeals
in the court archives.

Thank you, professor.

I don't understand why
the media doesn't report this.

I'll do all I can to report it.

I thought I should let you know,
Justice Ki.

Have you heard of Oh Jae Duk
of Jeju?

A rookie reporter at News and New
is digging into that case.

Professor. The Oh Jae Duk decisions
can't be accessed anymore.

I see.

Thank you.

Those jerks.

(Mr. Oh Jae Duk)

Do you have a copy
of the court decisions?

You do? Thank you!

I'll come to you right now!

Hello.

The third stage of funding
is finally complete!

We collected
a total of 55,000 dollars!

I can send my niece and nephew
to piano and taekwondo now.

- Awesome!
- Okay, let's do the math.

Your eyes shine
when you calculate money.

Yours too.

I need to go to Barcelona
for a short while.

I'm going to meet
the soccer guru Messi.

Encare Messi.

This isn't the time for this.

Okay. 10 percent is 5,500 dollars.

4,000 in fees
for the payment system.

That's a lot.

Yes. That's almost 10,000 dollars.

We still have 45,000 left!

So I'll be generous.

You get 25,000.

I get 20,000.

You are an angel. You really are.

But... What about the Samjung trio?

Things are tough for them, right?

Then how...

I think we should split it equally
to avoid future problems.

Split five ways is...
That's 45,000 dollars divided...

9,000 dollars it is!

That went down a lot.

We forgot about Mr. Choi Yong Seok.

He worked so hard
for a very long time.

If we divide that into six,

it's 7,500 dollars.

I can't eat anything...

when I think of Cheol Gyu's wife
and child.

Divide that in seven...

That's 6,000 dollars.

- There's also Won Bok's mother.
- I quit!

No more!

Why not?

Wait. There's a time for everything.

He's becoming the Chief Justice,
so why rain on his parade?

I'm not publishing this!
I'm giving a firm no.

Get going!

We have all the proof...

that he pronounced
wrongful verdicts, so why not?

Absolutely not. Get out!

Does the evidence disappear
if you just rip those papers apart?

Ms. Lee, stop it.

I was promised a lot in Techno Town.

This is the best day since we opened
News and New!

You read it, right?

What hurts more than a punch is
when trust betrays.

I'm disappointed in both of you.

What's wrong? Where are you going?

What? Don't leave.

I want to let my niece and nephew
attend an academy.

My mom works at a bathhouse.
I need to repay her debt for her.

I need to buy Jin Shil's father
some good beef too.

I'm sorry.

Let's be generous this time.

Once we have a philanthropist...

Philanthropist!

My ears are going to bleed
from you saying that all the time!

I can't even go to Barcelona!

If I get kicked out of my house,
are you going to take me in?

This is giving me a headache.

Hey. Let's work on this.

- You need to come to Jeju with me.
- Sorry?

Do you have a boyfriend in Jeju?
Why do you keep going there?

What's this?

Mr. Park, let's get rid of
Supreme Court Justice Jo Ki Soo.

How can he become
a Supreme Court Chief Justice?

Let's stop now.

It's all meaningless.

I have no will to live on.

You're the one who got me like this.

Why do you guys keep betraying
and stuff?

(Delayed Justice)

- Let's take this on.
- How can we fight Jo Ki Soo?

The Samjung case isn't the only case
he's framed people on.

Is there still something
that needs to stay covered?

Don't you feel sorry?

How come you never apologize
for your misjudgments?

I'm asking you!
Why aren't you answering?

Did you look through the Osung case?

I told you not to look at it!

How dare he yell at me like that?

I don't know how far we can go
with this,

but don't waste any more time
and come back right now.
