All language subtitles for suits (6)_track3_[und]

You said it was a knife and a spear, not a ball.

This will be the first and last ball.

You must repair the sewage disposal system at the factory,

you'll prevent the situation from recurring, and establish...

a foundation to give back to the community.

With that in mind, I ask for one million per person.

In total, 20 million dollars.

Punitive damage does not apply to cases like these in this country.

Punitive damage?

If that was applied, I would've asked for five million per person.

I'm demanding the most rational and appropriate amount.

If you accept this offer,

turn around quietly and leave.

If you don't like it, go be at bat.

If you were me,

would you hit my pitch?

Or would you take the offer...

and turn around?

With such a rational offer, I would've turned around.

What about you?

If you were in my shoes,

what kind of a ball would you pitch?

I don't know.

I'll throw the best ball I have ever thrown.

(but cows make milk, )

(whereas snakes make poison.)

On March 8, 2018.

Lim Ji Yeon, the plaintiff, has a drink with her friends.

It was just a casual gathering with her friends,

and they shared a few jokes that can come out from such gathering.

However, a video of them went viral without her consent.

The plaintiff should be the one to complain about the inconvenience.

This shouldn't blame her for wanting to...

slander someone.

The accused?

Defense attorney?

Defense attorney?

Defense attorney.

Yes.

I asked if you were ready.

It's...

(Refusal to settle)

(Case number 2015D!0081)

According to the ruling of case number 2015D!0081,

when the settlement suddenly gets rejected...

during the process of coming to a settlement,

the court decided that...

each side must get enough time to prepare for a trial.

Enough time?

All right.

I'll give you 10 minutes.

Court adjourned for 10 minutes.

Are you all right?

Of course, I'm not.

Are you angry?

I am.

This time, I might really have to stop.

No, I'm not angry at you.

I'm angry at myself.

What are you saying to my client?

Don't you know that this is illegal?

This isn't a mock courtroom, but the hallway of our office.

And she is not your client,

but just Ms. Kim at the moment.

Oh, really?

Then you shouldn't be so smart with your senior like this.

Then is it okay for a senior to treat his junior like this?

What did I do?

Well, what did I expect from someone who has no other way of winning,

unless he plays dirty?

Hey, there's no dirty move when it comes to a trial.

And you think I have no other way of winning?

Goodness, this is absolutely insulting.

This is a violation of my personal rights.

Understand?

Let's go, Ms. Kim.

Do you not feel confident enough...

now that you're up on the mound?

No.

I just realized that you can never be like me.

Why would I throw...

the pitch of my life to a pathetic guy like you?

You sure have many different ways of accepting your defeat.

This will probably be the last night you get a good sleep.

I hope you sleep well.

Are you ready, defense attorney?

We would like to file a counteraction.

A counteraction? What's your ground?

Plaintiff's attorney, I ask the questions.

I apologize.

Continue.

Insulting and attacking someone against one's will is...

an illegal action that can violate one's personal rights.

Hence, we'd like to claim damages for violating her personal rights.

The corporate will file a lawsuit against her,

but Oh Seon Sook will also file a separate suit.

That makes no...

Oh Seon Sook is the main announcer for KMS.

No matter what the source or the intention of the video was,

the plaintiff Lim Ji Yeon violated Oh Seon Sook's personal rights...

and had a negative impact on the image of KMS.

This is absurd, Your Honor.

Forget about his dirty tactic for creating all these stories.

For a violation of personal rights to be valid,

the slander she made has to be insulting the other party in...

I believe you're saying that she did slander her,

yet it was not malicious enough for her to feel insulted.

You can prove that, then.

And did I play dirty?

Hey, there's no dirty move when it comes to a trial.

The counteraction is permitted.

Both attorneys, come forward.

Starting now, this case has changed to a violation of personal rights.

And the plaintiff and the defendant will also change.

The date for pleading is tomorrow.

It wasn't a bad idea to evade a tight spot.

No, I...

Listen to the judge until she finishes.

I apologize.

But if you prepared to file a countersuit...

without being so naive,

you would not have fallen into such a tight spot to begin with.

Yes, Your Honor.

All right, let's get to our meeting.

I have to question people at the witness stand tomorrow.

We're dealing with a different suit, so we'll need a different strategy.

But first,

let's fill ourselves up with some chicken and beer.

She's right. Let's eat before we get ready for the mock trial.

Let's go.

Chicken and beer.

It seems like you've found an answer.

I'm not sure about that.

I just know that it's sad to stay depressed...

about what's already happened.

So you did find the answer.

But I have to say, it feels good...

to have you come pick me up like this.

I know that this is where I belong,

but I sometimes find myself wanting more.

I sometimes find myself wanting to be a doctor.

Really?

Yes. I enjoy my job as a dog groomer.

It's nice.

But instead of having people call my name,

I sometimes feel proud whenever people mistake me...

as a veterinarian.

What about you, Attorney Go? Did you have a busy day?

Yes.

It's always...

the usual for me.

Attorney Go.

I sometimes wonder if I actually deserve that title.

You already took your first step the moment you decided...

that you don't want to go back.

Se Hee.

I have something to tell you.

I'm pretty sure you've already noticed.

But I'm actually...

not a real attorney.

I'm a fake.

I told you to make your own rules,

not make a fool of yourself.

He agreed to come to a settlement,

but he suddenly betrayed me.

He betrayed you?

You should always be prepared for all kinds of variables.

What do you think would've happened if it was a real trial?

If it was a real trial, I wouldn't have had to think about...

who to choose as a witness.

What?

How can you say that after having experienced everything?

What kind of witness just shows up willingly?

Didn't you forget that the witness we barely managed to find...

ended up being a fraud?

The reason we hold a mock trial...

is to check if you're worthy of staying at our firm.

There are only two types of attorneys in court.

You're either a winner or a loser.

I guess you're right. Even I think I'm walking the path...

of becoming nothing but a loser.

That's exactly what I'm doing.

Even in this very room, I can't find a witness,

let alone a person who's even willing to be my client.

A winner would never waste his or her time on making excuses.

Instead, they'll try to find a solution.

I told you...

to never mention anything about the mock trial in front of me.

Okay.

Did you look into the medical history of all the plaintiffs...

regarding the Yumi Pharmaceuticals suit?

I'm conducting a complete enumeration, so it'll take time.

- I'm doing my best to...
- No.

You're standing right there.

Yes, I know.

Ms. Hong, I need to talk to you about the mock trial.

Can you please come in?

In this mock trial that's being held...

at Kang and Ham,

I'm the torero, the main hero of the bullfight.

And you're my assistant, the picador.

Then what would that make Yeon Woo?

- The bull.
- That's what he was supposed to be.

That's what my initial intention was.

But today,

it seemed like you were the sad bull instead of him.

No, that's not true. I'll make sure I destroy him...

to satisfy your thirst.

You'll have to do that.

Because I don't want to stab my assistant...

instead of the bull.

(List of Plaintiffs)

(Petition, Taesung Law Firm)

This patient had Lou Gehrig's disease for about a year.

85 percent of his motor nerves had already been paralyzed.

And he had already lost the ability to speak.

But do you know what happened to him 18 months after...

he started taking our medicine?

So you did clinical tests on 100 patients for about 3 years,

and not a single patient had liver problems?

Yes. If you wish, I can show you all of their medical records.

Then why aren't you showing us your financial statement?

That's...

What does our company's financial status...

have anything to do with the clinical tests we've conducted?

The most important precondition in developing a new drug...

is the result of clinical trials.

You need to prove that the drug is effective and safe...

in order for that drug to be approved.

And once it gets approved,

it means your company's stock price will increase the next day.

Now, I finally understand what you mean.

Our company's stock price did increase,

but CEO Kim never tried to benefit from that.

You didn't want Ms. Kang to be in charge of this case.

But if you really cared for CEO Kim,

you should've put the past in the past.

You're right.

But that choice was also made...

for CEO Kim, not me.

CEO Kim is actually...

Mr. Choi, I think I found something.

You're full of surprises these days.

Attorney Jang filed a suit against a total of five different companies...

regarding side effect issues...

including Dongil, Seowoo, Jonghwa, and two other pharmaceuticals firms.

And of course, he ended all five cases by making settlements.

There's something you need to see, Your Honor.

Out of the five plaintiffs who filed a suit...

against Yumi Pharmaceuticals,

there's a guy named Park Sang Cheol.

(Park Sang Cheol)

And he's also included in the list of plaintiffs who filed a suit...

against Dongil Pharmaceuticals for their drug for Alzheimer's.

What am I supposed to call this?

A recycle of plaintiffs?

Or reuse of victims for different cases?

Inappropriate lawsuits that are filed habitually like this...

not only deserve to be dismissed,

but he should also be punished for violating the Attorneys-at-Law Act.

Is this true?

I have something more important for you to see...

regarding this case, Your Honor.

It's a financial statement that shows that Yumi Pharmaceuticals...

was practically bankrupt when they had released...

their new drug two years ago.

But of course, their sales went up by 50 times...

as soon as they released their new drug.

And their stock price obviously soared more than ever.

This proves that they had a clear motive to forge...

their clinical trial results.

You guys are both making assumptions...

without having any clear evidence.

The trial will proceed.

I respect you, Your Honor.

That's exactly what I want.

A trial.

How did Attorney Jang get a hold...

of the financial statement that you failed to get?

The only thing that matters in court...

is each party's statement. I already told you that...

things like conscience, value, and justice don't matter.

So the more your client tries to keep things from you,

the more persistent you have to be to get what you need.

If I don't, it'll end up becoming a weakness like it did today.

I get it.

This is serious.

To be more exact, it's embarrassing.

My client is hiding documents...

and lying to his attorney,

but I have to pretend that I believe he's an honest guy...

even when I don't because you constantly insist...

that he's a decent man.

What do you mean you have to pretend?

About CEO Kim...

How do you know for sure that he's not the type...

who'd play around with people's lives?

Back when he used to be a chief surgeon,

a very close colleague of his got involved...

in a medical malpractice.

Objectively speaking,

it was hard to fully blame the doctor for what had happened.

But Yeong Beom...

was stubborn on his stance...

that a doctor must take full responsibility...

of medical malpractice regardless of however small the mistake could be.

His colleague ended up losing his doctor's license.

And Yeong Beom also...

quit his job after what happened.

Because he could always get a job at a pharmaceutical firm.

No.

He didn't do anything for two years.

Just like you did.

There's one thing you both have in common.

You both would never lie to me.

No.

There are a lot of things you don't know...

about the both of us.

You promised not to meddle.

I'll pay for the settlement regarding the Noxi Chemicals case.

If I pay,

other partners won't have any misunderstandings.

But of course,

your shares contract will be used as collateral.

If things go wrong, you'll lose two million dollars...

just for borrowing 200,000 dollars.

I don't care about losing my shares.

But I'm not sure if it's right for you to see this.

Did you have to go this far...

to do a background research?

I'm sorry, but my job is to find my client's weakness.

Let me tell you something now that you've already seen that.

CEO Kim...

I mean, your ex-husband, Kim Yeong Beom.

He's been lying to you from a long time ago.

Do you think I wasn't aware that they were seeing each other...

way before we signed our divorce papers?

I shouldn't have handed you this case.

I'll be in charge of this case from now on.

Find a way to win the Noxi Chemicals case.

You better not disappoint me anymore.

Call all the victims.

Are you dumb, or are you just outstandingly smart?

Can't you trust me?

Do you really believe the assumption that I would've forged...

the clinical test results just by looking at the fact that...

my company was in a financial crisis back then?

No.

I only believe...

documents and evidence.

I once asked you if you started seeing her before our divorce,

and you told me "No".

I'm...

sorry about that.

I'm not trying to blame you for what you did in the past.

But you need to be honest with me right now.

I'm risking my firm's reputation by believing everything you say.

So I need to know if you're lying to me about anything right now.

No, I'm telling you the truth.

I never forged anything.

Are you sure?

If you hide stuff from me like this,

you'll end up embarrassing your attorney in court.

Are you being honest with me with absolutely everything?

I heard 17 out of 20 people called to make a settlement...

this morning.

As for Lee Jin Seok and the two other plaintiffs...

It'd be great if they settle, but it doesn't matter that much.

This means I won.

That must've been the case until this morning.

But I'm sorry to tell you that...

all 20 plaintiffs decided to turn down your offer...

as of this moment.

Are you even bluffing now?

No.

You offered them 10,000 dollars each,

and I already paid a total of 200,000 dollars to them in advance.

You're a partner at a law firm,

and you used your money to pay your clients settlement money?

Are the other partners okay with that? Aren't they angry?

No, because it was actually paid by Ms. Kang.

The president of a law firm can't be seen as an individual.

So are you saying your entire firm is betting on this case?

I thought this place was the best firm in the country,

but I guess you guys are really desperate.

I can't believe the president paid her own money for a case like this.

It's actually the opposite.

We're actually thinking of this as a pro bono case.

We can give back to society and elevate our brand image.

You're asking me to scar every single plaintiff...

that's involved in this case.

Listen to me, stupid.

Once I'm in that ring,

you're not going to see some gentleman sweep by me.

I'll have every single one of them bleed their bodies dry...

and get tossed out on the stretchers. You got that?

No.

You won't even be able to enter that ring.

Do you know what this is?

It's a recording of a phone call between you...

and the factory manager of Noxi Chemicals.

You were very specific about why they had to threaten Lee Jin Seok,

who they should send, and how he should be threatened.

A stranger might mistake you...

as a hired assassin, not an attorney.

You should have a listen.

I was honestly shocked.

What's wrong?

Now that you're standing on the batter's box,

are you scared to hit the ball?

I don't know where you got this,

but in the end, it's illegal wiretapping.

It'll have no legal force regardless of the content. Don't you know that?

Someone unknown left it on my doorstep,

so I have no idea if it was recorded illegally or not.

That's also what I wrote on my evidence report.

Your best move is to hand in an illegal recording?

Just so you can win this fight against me?

A fight against you?

If this is a fight,

I lost.

I'm incapable of losing any kind of game I play.

But this time, I lost.

What's your point?

If you just sign the settlement agreement,

you can feel victorious however much you like...

because I don't care about winning a petty fight like this.

Sign this feeling like a happy man.

If you don't,

I'll send you to prison.

Prison?

Would you give in to a threat like this if you were me?

Threat?

If it were you, would you ever do anything illegal...

just to win a fight or a settlement?

I'm saying I'm being very sincere and emotional with this case.

Do you want to know why?

Because I decided to send you prison...

as soon as I heard this file.

I think you keep forgetting.

This isn't a fight. It's a hunt.

It's a hyena hunt.

How dare a prey think about entering the ring?

You think we're alike?

Just because we drink the same water doesn't mean we're the similar.

Although they drink the same water, cows make milk,

whereas snakes make poison.

Which one are you?

Just take the settlement.

If you don't, I'll let you rot in prison for about two years.

We'll meet again soon.

Then I'll let you taste my venom for sure.

You weren't serious when you said you were emotional... No.

Did you really mean it when you said you were sincere?

I'm not sure about sincerity, but I was being emotional.

This is what you call method acting.

What if David didn't buy any of that?

Were you really going to hand this in to court?

I never do anything dumb or pull dirty tricks in court.

David had no choice but to take the offer...

because he knew what he had said.

What did he say?

What?

Well...

We have settled the matter with the plaintiff's...

You must've gotten the wrong idea.

It is true that we had a discussion,

but we didn't agree to settle.

Did you write out the agreement?

Pardon? Oh, the agreement.

No, I didn't.

I told you.

I never do anything dumb like you in court.

This isn't like you. Why are you so drunk?

My best attorney is here.

I heard you took care of the Noxi Chemicals case.

Was his name David? Anyway, he was right.

You're the best closer there is.

Why are you so serious?

I let my emotions blind me from the truth.

I didn't know I had made a mistake even when I did.

And I couldn't differentiate...

a lie from the truth.

Did CEO Kim confess that he forged the clinical test results?

No.

He insists that he never did such a thing.

Then what's wrong?

He couldn't afford to do something like that.

Because he was in need of that drug more than anyone.

He's...

dying.

He also has...

Lou Gehrig's disease.

Did you feel okay afterwards?

I'm sure it was hard for you to tell me the truth.

Me?

To be honest, I feel relieved.

I always wanted to tell someone about this.

But I couldn't tell anyone, so I felt really frustrated.

It's fine as long as you feel okay.

Does that mean...

everything's okay between us?

You already made a decision.

You said you never want to go back.

I don't know how your journey will end,

but I'm sure you'll find a way.

More importantly, I'm grateful that you were honest with me.

Everyone has a secret or two.

You're right. Everyone has a rabbit they want to hide.

Rabbit?

You know that rabbit that lives in the moon?

We can't see it because it lives on the other side of the moon.

Oh, that rabbit.

You're right.

Hey, while we're on the subject...

CEO Kim of Yumi Pharmaceuticals also has Lou Gehrig's disease?

If the court starts questioning his rights,

he might even get indicted for violating the medical law.

I'm sure Director Jeon already knew about this.

Why do you think she tried so hard to hide it from us?

There are people who died, and there are some who are still sick.

Mr. Kim is also a victim.

We'll have to see if she's hiding anything else.

Since when did you know?

We're just trying to check the facts...

to see if you're qualified to testify in court.

What exactly are you talking about?

Since when were you aware that CEO Kim had Lou Gehrig's disease?

I didn't know at first...

because he hid it from me.

But he couldn't hide the symptoms.

Then when did you know that...

CEO Kim had forged the clinical test results?

What are you talking about?

Why would he forge the test results?

Because he needed the drug to be approved...

and released in order to save his own life.

No, he never forged any kind of test results.

Director Jeon.

We're just trying to discuss how we should defend CEO Kim in court.

We're not trying to blame him for what he did wrong.

He never lied about any kind of test results.

Yes, we know that.

You're the one who lied.

What do you mean?

Director Jeon, if you wish to protect CEO Kim,

you must tell us the truth.

You should've seen him back then.

It's hard to even describe how he was back then.

But one day,

he decided to test the new drug on himself,

and his health slowly started to improve.

It was like a miracle.

But toward the end of the clinical test,

one patient started having liver problems.

Not only would that have delayed the approval,

but the drug might not have gotten approved at all.

That's right.

That's why.

That's why I excluded that patient from the clinical test.

We have good news amongst the bad.

Are you saying we have to sacrifice Director Jeon?

She's the one who put you in this kind of danger.

She only did that to save my life.

Can she even end up in prison?

It's possible. She needs to hire an attorney.

And as you already know, our firm can't defend her...

because we'd be fighting against each other's interests.

We do have an alternative.

You can become one of Attorney Jang's clients.

Ms. Kang, we're defending Yumi Pharmaceuticals.

That's also a conflict of interests.

It's only if he wants to, and I'll make the call.

Wait. What does this mean?

You can get rid of your company and give the plaintiffs...

the highest amount of settlement money your company can offer.

After that, you can enlist yourself as a victim...

and receive that settlement money as well.

Yumi Pharmaceuticals will disappear,

but you can use the settlement money to start a new company.

- If not, you can...
- No, I can't do that.

I'm different from them. I didn't suffer from any side effects.

No.

You're no different from them...

because you also have Lou Gehrig's disease.

Wait.

You're no different from them, and they're no different from you.

- So that means...
- Yeon Woo.

What's your point? Tell me more specifically.

If you had released this to the press,

it would've gone viral and made a lot of people upset.

I'm sorry, but if you had tried to understand...

- my clients earlier...
- Because of that,

me and Mr. Kim, the CEO of Yumi Pharmaceuticals,

thought about how serious this problem was,

and after a lot of thought, we came up with our final decision.

(Yumi Pharmaceuticals Sincerely Apologize to All the Victims)

"Yumi Pharmaceuticals acknowledges that there was a problem with..."

"the clinical test and has decided to take the firm into bankruptcy."

What do you think you're doing?

I thought you called us here to make a settlement.

But are you threatening us with bankruptcy?

Don't be mistaken.

Yumi Pharmaceuticals is a small corporation.

So even if they settle, they'll become bankrupt anyway.

I'm sure you all think CEO Kim kept something from you...

regarding the effects of the drug.

And yes, you're right.

This is not good.

CEO Kim?

The fact that...

you all are suffering from Lou Gehrig's disease is already unfair.

On top of that, the fact that you all suffered...

from side effects...

when I actually got better...

is also very unfair.

I know this won't be enough for you to forgive me,

but I swear that I wasn't aware of the side effects.

But now that I do, I wish to straighten things out.

I wish to continue my research until I can get rid of...

all the side effects that you've experienced.

However, once he gives you the settlement money,

the company will be gone.

Also, the chance to keep studying this medicine and to get better...

- may vanish.
- What you're saying is...

you cannot give them the compensation.

Our offer is that...

we cannot offer them money at the moment,

but we are offering them...

a part of the ownership shares.

Money cannot prolong your life one day more.

Please take the offer...

and give CEO Kim a chance to resolve...

this problem.

What are you doing here?

I just heard 10 cars piled up on Olympic Expressway.

Do I look like a con man who runs behind the emergency service?

I don't know about others,

but I don't think you of all people...

should discuss the qualifications of a lawyer.

I don't think you understood what I said.

I don't know about anything else, but Lawyer Jang...

Wait, no.

You'll be disbarred very soon.

You should go work for an insurance company.

Do you think you are that different from me?

In your suit that costs 20,000 dollars,

driving a car worth 200,000 dollars?

A lawyer's fee is the responsibility of a lawyer.

I get a fair compensation for representing...

a client who trusts me to do their bidding.

That's what a competent lawyer is like.

That's the case for me too.

No, you're completely different.

You find clients and go visit them yourself.

If you got paid for creating...

damage and crime that doesn't exist, that can't be called a lawyer's fee.

We drink the same water...

Never mind.

You aren't a cow or a snake.

You don't have the rights to drink water at all.

What are you doing here?

I was waiting for you.

How can I ever thank you?

No, I just did my job because I got paid.

So Mr. Lee, you should go do what you must do.

You need to focus on your treatment.

You must get healthier for the sake of your daughter.

Yes, I should.

I will.

Thank you very much.

What did you mean when you said it was because of you,

and not David?

It's just...

the same reason as you.

Emotional reasons?

I got angry...

for the first time in forever.

This time, we were...

both unprofessional.

Is that so?

Perhaps that's why we've won.

Anyway,

it's been forever since I've seen the ocean.

Gosh, I want to go to Hawaii.

I'll go instead. To Hawaii.

I hope I'm not late.

Let's go.

What's your relationship with Mr. Lim Ji Yeon?

I'm...

My gosh, I forgot everything.

If I forget this now, it'll be worse with people around.

It's because you're nervous.

It's okay. Trust me.

- Do you want some water?
- No, I'm okay.

I'll get it.

If I can't get water, how will I pull this off?

Let's take a break.

I'll get some coffee.

Who's she? Your girlfriend?

Stop caring about my witness.

If you aren't dating her, set me up with her.

Man, not bad.

Is Mr. Sa up against my associate?

If he works hard enough, he might not be as good as us,

but he can climb up about two stairs right below us.

Us? Since when were we on the same level?

I'm a senior partner, and you're a junior.

Hello, Mr. Choi.

Move aside.

How are you feeling?

Pardon?

- Why?
- Your mock trial is coming up.

Exactly. You told me to never speak of my mock trial.

So what? Don't you want my help?

I do.

Mr. Sa is a guy with nothing but a fancy background.

He's conceited and full of himself.

When you have to turn the game over,

change the rules too.

- The rules?
- Go after the person, not the case.

A good lawyer studies the case...

But a great lawyer studies the person...

No, the opponent.

- Good.
- And?

And?

This isn't a mock trial. It's your first fight.

You have to win no matter what.

Destroy him.

Don't you remember me?

I saw you out front two days ago.

You must be Mr. Go's girlfriend.

Oh, yes, I remember.

- Hello.
- Hello.

Are you here because of the mock trial?

Yes. Yeon Woo asked me to come play his witness.

I got to play an announcer against my will.

And you will be fighting against me...

against your will too.

Oh, is that so?

This is bad.

Yeon Woo is really smart and nice,

so there's nothing to worry there.

But I'm really nervous right now.

I don't know if we can pull this off well.

I hope I'm not going to make Yeon Woo look bad.

Why? You two make a great team,

and I think you'll come to a happy ending.

Pardon? What do you mean?

The mock trial.

The defendant said these words without any other intentions.

It was just a joke that she made while having a drink with friends.

It was just a funny impersonation.

However,

because of a video which she did not intend to go viral...

No, it is because of that video.

Both Lim Ji Yeon and Oh Seon Sook are announcers.

For announcers, their image is everything,

especially an image that's conveyed through a video.

She said it was a spy cam, but she even winked at the camera.

Can you really call this a spy cam?

Ms. Oh.

Do you need some time?

No.

I can continue.

I have made my utmost effort to become...

the main news anchor of KMS.

There were times of trouble,

but in the end,

I got to sit on the desk where I've always dreamed of.

That place,

that spot is...

where you receive the trust and attention of the entire nation.

However, just because I made a well-meaning advice...

to a junior who crossed over the line,

I became the laughing stock of the nation.

And our entire network...

became a comedy show.

What's worse is...

I had to break up with my boyfriend that I was going to get married to.

Objection.

An advice?

That incident has nothing to do with this trial.

And...

stop trying to find the reason of your breakup in here.

Can't I do that?

Then where can I go to find the reason?

You must think marriages are that easy.

Your Honor.

Her impersonation rooted from her advice,

so strictly speaking, it is relevant to this trial.

Don't be nervous.

Yes, I won't be.

The witness, Ms. Son Jeong Eun,

is currently a newscaster for the morning news on KMS.

Apparently, the morning news was supposed to be Ms. Lim's place.

- Your Honor, objection.
- Let me reiterate.

Have you seen the video in question?

Yes, people got together for a drink that day...

to congratulate me for getting the morning news.

Then you must've seen the scene yourself, not just on the video.

What did you think?

It was...

way over the line.

It made me feel uncomfortable.

I see. Then why do you think...

Ms. Lim Ji Yeon did what she did?

Seon Sook recommended me for the morning news position.

She must've taken it personally.

As per the order of seniority,

Ji Yeon should've been given the job.

She took it personally. I can see why she might have.

That'll be all, Your Honor.

Were you close with Ms. Lim Ji Yeon?

I wasn't that close with her, but...

Then...

Did she ever tell you in person that she was displeased?

I'm not sure. She was never that blunt...

Please answer with either a yes or a no.

No.

You weren't that close,

and she didn't even tell you in person.

Isn't it possible that you don't know how she felt?

Objection, Your Honor.

He's leading the witness.

I agree.

Doesn't everyone have a rabbit in their hearts?

A rabbit?

The rabbit that lives on the moon.

It lives on the other dark side of the moon,

so others can't see it's there. Like a secret.

Ji Yeon was a person with many secrets.

But she couldn't hide her emotions well.

She wasn't good at keeping a straight face.

A straight face?

Then...

can you tell what kind of mood I'm in right now?

- Pardon?
- Your Honor.

The question is not related to the case at all.

The witness does not have superpowers.

She can't read others' mind or thoughts.

So of course, she wouldn't possibly know what it feels like...

to be mocked at and to be unfairly dismissed.

Am I wrong?

Well...

That'll be all, Your Honor.

In a fight like this,

we should instill terrible fear in the opponent.

I don't know.

Mr. Lee Jin Seok is quite a man of determination.

You said he has a daughter.

His head may be made of steel,

but his heart should be more vulnerable.

Are you insinuating that I blackmail him?

Blackmail?

If he's a man of determination, that wouldn't suffice.

You should show him what you're capable of.

Instill the fear of a bullet...

piercing his vulnerable heart.

Then he'll succumb.

Of course, it should be done in front of his daughter.

No matter where you go in this world, there are rats.

You can tolerate those rats gnawing away at a block of cheese,

but if they start asking for the whole thing, you extinguish them.

Whether you put a bullet in the heart or an ax in the head.

Ms. Lim.

Why did you make such an impersonation that day?

I was having fun with my friends while drinking.

Does there have to be a reason?

I was just having fun.

Then what do you have to say to the claim that...

you were displeased with how your junior took the morning news spot?

It's not true at all.

Yes, I wanted to do it,

but I had expected her to get it anyway.

One more thing.

If all juniors mocked their seniors out of jealousy every single time,

the internet would be swamped with videos of Seon Sook.

Gina's putting up a good act, she's even improvising.

What's the plan now?

Ms. Lim.

A littler earlier, you said that you had expected you wouldn't get...

the morning news job.

Yes, we were close friends, and it made me a little hopeful.

But in the end, I came to realize that I wouldn't be able to get it.

Why is that?

Did you make a mistake of some sort to the plaintiff?

No, I wasn't the one who made a mistake.

We once used to tell each other's secrets,

but I found out that she's been telling others about my secrets.

Secrets?

Like what?

The rabbit.

Rather than Ms. Son Jeong Un,

I thought Seon Sook and I both had rabbits in ourselves.

Defense attorney. Are you done?

Defense attorney?

No, Your Honor.

That means you sent the email of criticism to your colleagues...

out of spite.

Out of spite?

Seon Sook told others about my secret just for the fun of it,

and I was the one who did it out of spite?

I did it for everyone's entertainment as well.

Entertainment?

A news announcer who was trusted by the entire nation...

became a laughing stock over night.

Objection, Your Honor.

This employee performance evaluation says that...

you are good at performing day-to-day tasks.

But you tend to show anxiousness when on air.

It says you lack the ability to handle emergencies.

Do you agree with this evaluation?

- No.
- No?

Then why did the morning news job go to your junior,

and why did your senior make such evaluations of you?

I don't know exactly why.

Are you saying that you are treated fairly according to...

your performance level?

That you have no right or the ability to be a news announcer?

I never said that.

Earlier, you said that you saw it coming.

- That's...
- Let me ask again.

Why did you never try to find the reason behind what happened...

in yourself, not in your relationship with Ms. Oh Seon Sook?

I never tried?

- I tried...
- What I'm saying is...

You could've used the time...

you spent on making Ms. Oh or Ms. Son as your excuses...

to reflect on yourself and make improvements on yourself.

- Objection.
- I never made excuses.

If you had made efforts instead of making excuses,

you wouldn't have been anxious while you were on air,

and you would have been able to handle emergencies well.

And the morning news would have gone to you.

Your Honor.

While you were busy making excuses,

your competitor, Son Jeong Eun, who was putting in a lot of effort,

claimed what should be hers. Why, you ask?

Because whether in life or inside a newsroom,

it's a continuous cycle of challenges.

The reason why one fails to perform on stage...

is not because of stage fright.

It's solely because of one's inability to meet certain...

I'm...

just as capable as others.

But...

I also have one too.

A rabbit.

Whenever I see test papers,

I get a serious headache and feel really sick.

The sound of other people's pens as they write on the papers.

The sound of a chair.

All of these become very sharp like a living object,

and they pierce me in my head.

I'm scared.

To others, it could be a simple phobia, but...

I'm...

I'm sorry, Your Honor.

Please excuse me for a moment.

Let's settle.

Like we previously planned, it'll be a win for us both.

Do you think that would be necessary for me?

It's not like she made a crucial testimony.

Don't mind me and keep going.

But...

I'm not sure if you'll be able to keep cornering Gina.

Defense attorney, are you going to proceed?

Defense attorney?

No.

That'll be all, Your Honor.

Are you sure?

Yes.

The defense attorney has given his closing statement,

so the trial will be closed now.

The defendant is the winner of this mock trial.

Court dismissed.

So...

how did you like that?

You are...

done now.

(Suits "Korea")

Was this the kind of lawyer you wanted to be?

Because I'm a fake and a fraud?

If you let your emotions get the best of you all the time,

you won't be able to protect anyone.

Did you know that Mr. Choi was a former prosecutor?

I told you that you'll pay for this one day,

and that day has come.

The special prosecution just summoned you.

A background check?

I heard you forged your academic background.

You've ruined everything enough. Do you want to do more damage?

I'll find the evidence no matter what.
