Original subtitles

Witness,

should we play the rest of the audio file?

What did you say after hearing that Choi Gyeong-ho isn't

the real murderer?

Let me ask you one last time.

What did you say?

Did you instigate Kim Ik-cheol to murder Seo Gi-ho,

who claimed that Choi Gyeong-ho wasn't the real murderer?

Did you...

kill Kim Ga-yeong?

Your Honor.

Am I here as a witness

or as a defendant?

You're here to bear witness.

Then why do I feel like

I'm being treated like a criminal?

As a claimant, I was only asking him necessary questions.

How dare you...

Your Honor,

is this allowed?

According to the evidence submitted,

as the claimant, she has the right to ask such questions.

How can a judge

question me like a prosecutor?

I think you're mistaken.

I am not here as a judge.

I am here to demand a retrial for my innocent brother,

who was falsely accused and murdered.

Witness,

the claimant has the right

to ask questions about things that are unclear.

I am

too offended to stay here any longer.

Is there a reason why you can't answer this?

Am I the only man in Korea?

Besides, where's the proof

that I'm the one she called?

It's the same with Kim Ik-cheol's recording too.

I don't know what motives he said it with,

but how can you trust the words

of a man who murdered his close friend?

Let me ask you a question.

Who recorded

Kim Ik-cheol's words?

Claimant, let me ask you a question to clarify.

How did you come to acquire the recording file?

Claimant?

If you have no further evidence or statements to submit,

we will end the investigation.

I told you to find out

what evidence they submitted.

You are my advisory attorney.

How could you not find out those things?

You said you made sure Kim Ik-cheol wouldn't say anything.

If you had found out what evidence they had,

I would've been prepared

for any backstabbing from him.

Are you really a former judge?

My gosh.

Hey, Eui-hyun.

Why are you here?

-I was waiting for someone. -Hello, Eui-hyun.

You should've come and said hello to me

as soon as you came back from the States.

I'm sorry, Assemblyman.

Don't call me that. Just call me Mr. Do.

Eui-hyun.

Wait, no.

I should call you Judge Sah now.

Judge Sah, I heard you work in the same office as Jeong-ju.

Stop her from acting up.

Tell her she'll be sorry if she continues acting that way.

I will consider it unheard.

You are the future presidential candidate.

That's not something you should say.

You...

Did it go well?

You should've said everything you wanted to say.

I would never let anyone

hurt you.

Let's go.

That punk.

He's my boy.

I told you to keep him under control.

Why would I when he already does well on his own?

Didn't you just see him? Is that doing it well?

But he was right.

Besides,

how can you threaten a judge like that?

Professor Yoo doesn't keep you under control these days?

My goodness.

Let's go now.

I'm afraid journalists might see us. Let's go.

-Darn it. -There are no journalists here.

Gosh.

He's not an easy one indeed.

Could you be more specific?

The man that Ga-yeong called--

Did he ask why you assumed it was him?

Yes.

He said Kim Ik-cheol's words are--

His words lack credibility because he's a murderer.

Right.

Even if Ga-yeong did refer

to Mr. Do in the video and text message,

he wasn't the only person she could've referred to,

so I wasn't able to counter the argument.

For them to accept the petition for retrial,

you have to prove that Choi Gyeong-ho is not the real suspect,

rather than proving that Do Jin-myeong is the real suspect.

In other words, instead of proving

that Ga-yeong referred to Do Jin-myeong,

first prove that she was not referring to Choi Gyeong-ho

and that she never referred to him that way.

Prove that first.

Before talking about whether Jin-myeong hired Ik-cheol,

I should focus on what Seo Gi-ho said

about Gyeong-ho not being the real suspect.

Rather than proving Do Jin-myeong guilty,

I should prove Gyeong-ho innocent first.

Right.

Even if the end goal of proving your brother's innocence is not

proving Jin-myeong guilty,

you have to do that in order to reopen the case.

Okay, I get what you're saying.

Here, look at the documents that Han-jun brought.

These are the text messages that Ga-yeong sent to Yong-su.

"Let's eat ramen with Gyeong-ho.

I'm at the villa. You can come with Gyeong-ho."

Ga-yeong referred to Gyeong-ho by his first name.

Yong-su must've heard Ga-yeong talking to him then.

But even if he takes the witness stand,

they'll probably question the credibility of his statements.

It's a prejudice that a mentally challenged person is not credible.

A defendant in one of my cases

is mentally challenged,

so I want to address this.

Do you think Jang Sun-bok could have heard it?

I think I've heard it.

When Ga-yeong

came over to eat ramen,

I think she called both Yong-su

and Gyeong-ho by their first names.

Ga-yeong definitely

called Gyeong-ho

by his first name.

You're sure of it, right?

I don't lie.

So you're sure that Ga-yeong's cell phone is lost?

It's gone.

Sun-bok,

are you hiding something from me?

You went through a lot for lying, didn't you?

You need to tell me the truth.

Well, to be honest...

-Why did you do that? -What do you mean?

Why did you hide Ga-yeong's cell phone files--

I had to hide it from you to hide it from your father.

What?

You're not the only one observing your father closely.

Don't you know

that he is watching you closely too?

But...

Ga-yeong's cell phone file was submitted as evidence,

and Jeong-ju met your father at court today.

They must be done by now.

Yes. What happened?

Just a moment.

It wasn't easy.

He was so good at finding loopholes.

Did you realize that now?

Didn't I say it's dangerous to mess with Assemblyman Do Jin-myeong?

Han-jun?

Where are you?

Where do you think? I'm at the courthouse.

I don't think we should meet

until my brother's retrial is over.

Hey, you can't just decide on that.

You need to see me if you want your brother's retrial to be over.

Didn't I tell you?

I told you to butt out.

Why do you always tell me to butt out?

Besides, I'm already into you. Completely.

Are you kidding me?

I'm not in the mood. Bye.

Hello.

Judge Lee, I'm glad you're here.

The ruling for Jang Sun-bok's retrial was really good.

Thank you.

I'd like to hear your opinion on this too.

For one of my cases,

the plaintiff played this game with a lot of users online.

One of the players wrote unpleasant remarks

about the plaintiff on the forums.

He must be suing for emotional distress from the insults.

Yes, I'd rather not repeat those remarks,

but let me say them to seek a more accurate opinion.

"What does your mother do?

Why did she give birth to you?

You anencephalus. You're dumber than a chicken.

I'd commit suicide if I were you.

You're nastier than a piece of trash."

It went like this.

The focus is on the amount of compensation.

Both the plaintiff and defendant are in high school.

They only play games together online.

They haven't met offline at all.

Since the defendant is in high school,

he is obligated to compensate the plaintiff.

Taking all the factors into consideration,

I'd set it to 500,000 won.

My gosh, look at the time.

I must prepare for my trial.

Judge Lee, I didn't even touch this.

Thank you.

I'll get going.

Bye.

My goodness.

Calculating damages is no easy task.

My intuition was correct.

The case with Designer Myeong Su-jin?

So when she got her bag back,

she lied that she lost it even though she knew it was authentic?

Greed is a frightening thing, isn't it?

Like they say, "Someone with 99 treasures

covets someone else's one and only treasure."

The case made me realize that wholeheartedly.

You did another great job by listening

to the socially weak, Chief Moon.

I don't get played

by the greed of the riches.

You know, it serves him right.

I mean Chief Choi.

He always rubbed it in my face for overturning my rulings,

telling me to interpret the law better.

This time, I got to land a good one on him

for his ruling in the criminal court

with mine in the civil court.

Take that, Chief Choi.

"Do you know your weakness as a judge?"

Stop it.

"You are swayed by feelings without evidence.

That's called confirmation bias.

Don't you know bias leads to misjudgment?"

Chief Choi, you chose the way that leads to incorrect verdicts.

What did I tell you?

Didn't I say you'd make an incorrect verdict since she's your first love?

I feel wronged.

I rendered a just ruling based on the evidence submitted.

How would she feel?

Your rulings are never overturned,

but your wife found a blind spot and overturned it. How would that feel?

Hey, Chief Oh,

you became a judge to upset me, didn't you?

Bingo.

You got it.

Bingo.

"Horrible Sujebi"?

My goodness, he shouldn't be calling me now.

I wish I could change my phone number.

Chief Oh,

tell him that you picked up the phone in the restroom

and that it would take a long time to find the owner.

-Me? -Yes.

Are you telling me to lie in this sacred courthouse?

Oh, my stomach.

-I should go to the restroom. -Then can you do it, Chief Choi?

Hey, don't you need to go to the restroom?

-What do you mean? -Don't you need to go?

-Come on. -What are you talking about?

-Wait, Chief Choi. -Come with me.

-Why are you going together? -Go.

We are not women.

-It's urgent. -I didn't answer his call.

My goodness.

Why isn't he answering his phone?

-The person you are calling is... -He's dodging your calls.

Maybe the head chief thinks

you're involved with the case.

Even so, how dare he dodge my phone calls?

Yes, Jin-myeong.

Are you dodging my calls?

It's not that I'm dodging your calls.

To remove any question of running a fair trial,

I cannot associate with you even if you are a witness.

I told you it would be better for us not to call each other

until the motion hearing for Choi Gyeong-ho's retrial is over.

With the election coming up, you wouldn't want people to--

Exactly. So you should just dismiss the motion.

I'm being framed right now.

Make sure this doesn't affect my campaign in any way.

What did he say?

Whatever. I'm sure he got the message loud and clear.

Jeong-do, you should secretly meet

with the chief justice just in case.

I heard you went to the same high school as him.

That's true.

The ties between high school alumni are

tighter than the ones from college.

He's a sly fellow,

but try putting your school connections to use.

I'll give it a try.

CONTACTS

HORRIBLE SUJEBI

HORRIBLE SUJEBI, DELETE

Chief Seo.

Let's start after five minutes.

Sure.

My relative is getting married next weekend,

but I'm on duty then.

I can't believe even the chiefs of panels have to be on duty now.

Goodness.

Well...

Judge Lee, could you switch shifts with me?

Sure. I have to come to work on the weekends

for the time being anyway.

I'll do it instead.

But I thought you're on duty this weekend, Judge Sah.

You'll come next week too?

It's all right. Judge Lee has her plate full with the retrial right now,

so I'll do it.

I wouldn't mind doing it.

Judge Sah, you must have a strong desire

to come to the courthouse on weekends, right?

Yes.

Let's begin.

Okay.

Case number 2017G507 is a homicide case by a robber.

Two brothers broke into a hair salon late at night

and tried to steal valuables,

but when the victim resisted, they fatally stabbed her with a knife.

The older brother confessed

that he was the one who stabbed the victim,

but the younger one with mental disability

claimed that it was him who stabbed the victim.

The younger brother is mentally disabled with an IQ of 50.

Is his statement credible?

Although the younger brother lacks the ability to adapt to emotions

and social norms compared to other average 27-year-olds,

along with difficulties explaining his account accurately and in detail,

he is still able to

coherently testify accounts that he has experienced.

I have verified this with the appointed

specialists.

There are some minor discrepancies in his statement

regarding the details and method of stabbing the victim,

but since the discrepancies stem

from his mental disability,

I believe that we cannot deny his entire statement on that ground.

Then

does that mean we can believe the younger brother's statement?

-Yes. -Yes.

You two are always on the same page now.

Judge Lee and Judge Sah are of the same mind.

Great.

Then let's discuss the sentencing.

Next up is case number 2017G851, a murder case

for Defendant Kim Ju-hyeong.

He was charged with involuntary manslaughter,

but the prosecutor revised it to murder during questioning, right?

Yes, the trial was assigned to Judge Sah's Individual Criminal Court.

There have been a few trials.

While questioning a witness and inspecting the crime scene,

Judge Sah tore down

the defendant's claim for self-defense by his sharp questions

and made the prosecutor revise the charge to intentional murder

instead of involuntary manslaughter.

That's what people say about it.

Is that so?

The victim was Judge Lee's brother.

Yes, it's Choi Gyeong-ho, whose retrial case I'm on.

Then why don't you handle this case since you're on the retrial?

Will you be okay with the change?

Yes, that's fine.

But doesn't our panel have

a rape case with the same defendant, Kim Ju-hyeong?

Yes, we do.

The famous case where Judge Lee was held hostage was

reassigned to our panel when Chief Choi was transferred

to the Individual Criminal Court.

There are three cases under Kim Ju-hyeong.

I can see why Judge Lee was so furious...

Then let's merge these three cases and proceed.

Since the panel for the hostage case

and newly assigned murder case has changed,

according to Article 301 of the Criminal Act,

we must renew the trial proceedings.

Since you're the presiding judge, please be familiar with the procedure.

Okay.

I'll make sure that the evidence

previously reviewed by the other panels can be

reviewed all over again at the next trial.

You must start fresh

without any prejudice

and judge based solely on the evidence.

Yes, Chief.

Oh my.

-Hello, sir. -Gosh. Hello.

-Please have a seat. -You too.

How long has it been?

Well, I haven't seen you outside of work

ever since I stepped down from the bench.

I know.

I thought you'd call to have lunch or something.

But it had to be today, of all days.

Don't feel burdened.

Today, I am not an attorney,

but your junior from high school.

Let's just enjoy the meal.

Sure, let's do that. I'm here because I wanted to see my junior.

-Thank you. -We should split the bill too.

We can do that if you're comfortable with it.

I'll tell them to bring in the food then.

Excuse me.

Okay.

It's been done.

Really?

That foolish jerk.

How dare he try to betray me?

-But sir... -What?

The person who recorded what Kim Ik-cheol had said was

your wife.

What?

That's right. I did it.

-What? -Wrongly convicting

Choi Gyeong-ho of rape and murder is

pure torment that I cannot escape.

I need to prove his innocence through the retrial.

Otherwise, I won't be able to live with myself.

So,

you decide to put me at risk just so you can feel better?

Do you even know what you've done?

What about what you did?

Okay, honey. Let's go in.

Now sit right here.

Too bad Han-jun isn't here.

He must've gone out so we can enjoy some time

to ourselves.

Here.

Honey, here's your glass.

Okay, let's make a toast for our wedding anniversary.

Thank you.

Honey, what's wrong?

It's been a while. Let's make a toast.

Okay. Here's to our wedding anniversary...

Let me go wash up.

Just how long will you do this?

I told you.

I said I'll do everything with you, but I'll never drink with you.

Why?

Is it because of alcohol that you got pregnant with Han-jun

and had to marry me?

You drink with Jeong-do.

Why can't you drink with me?

It was a dinner with colleagues. It had nothing to do with you.

Is that right? It was a dinner?

Darn it.

Gosh.

33JU1371

I told you already.

All I remember is

driving drunk that day.

You know very well

that if I black out after drinking I can't remember anything.

Anyway,

I don't even know how I ended up at the villa.

When I woke up, it was the next morning.

Kim Ik-cheol said

that you and Seo Gi-ho--

What are you talking about? I heard that Seo Gi-ho was

going around saying that Kim Ga-yeong was raped and murdered

by Han-jun, the driver of the car with license plate number 1371.

So I only spoke to Kim Ik-cheol.

I told him to make sure

that Seo Gi-ho doesn't go around

saying garbage like that.

I mean, can't a parent say that much

when it involves his child?

You must've been like this to Jeong-ju in court.

I can see why she said you aren't

an easy foe.

Honey, don't do this.

Kim Ik-cheol fed you lies, I tell you.

I need to wash up.

Just wait and see if I'm wrong.

What? Kim Ik-cheol recanted his statement?

Okay. Let me listen to it first.

Yes, I'll submit it with the recording.

Bye.

What on earth is this?

I'm home.

Hey.

What's that?

It's nothing.

Dad.

Yes?

Please don't stay

on Assemblyman Do's side for the retrial.

What did you say?

I hope you won't.

That sounds like an order.

Yes. I would if I could.

If you had looked a bit deeper into Jang Sun-bok's case ten years ago,

Kim Ik-cheol, who killed Seo Gi-ho,

and the person who instigated Kim Ik-cheol would've been arrested.

Then Choi Gyeong-ho wouldn't have faced a wrongful death either.

If you feel the least bit responsible--

That can be said

only if Choi Gyeong-ho's innocence is proven.

Even the retrial date hasn't been set yet.

Why are you being so hasty?

Do you think I'm being hasty? You know I'm not.

How did you feel towards Han-jun when he was being accused?

That's how I feel right now towards Jin-myeong.

-Father. -The Jin-myeong that I know may be

obsessed with power,

but he isn't cruel enough to kill a person.

He especially wouldn't kill a girl young enough to be his child.

If he were capable of that,

even if Myeong-hui was pregnant with Han-jun,

I never would've let her go to him.

You should sleep.

I still prepared myself just in case

it was really Han-jun.

Sure.

As a judge,

you must remain impartial, question the crime, and punish him.

But I'm a lawyer.

I must request

a favorable verdict and defend my friend.

-Father. -Even I

felt happiest when I was addressed as "Your Honor".

Although

I can't hear that again.

If you don't let Assemblyman Do go,

I won't be able to respect you anymore.

You're still here?

I want to escape the bunker as well,

but there's a lot to do.

What about you?

Is that...

It's soda, not beer.

I guess this is why your words sting so much.

They do not.

You did it just now. That's the tone I meant.

Let me try.

Were you always so confident from the day you were born?

Well,

your father is the head of Jeongmyeong Law Firm.

I meant to say

that your stellar brain regarding the law

must take after your father.

I do not believe certain bloods are meant to be in law.

See? There you go again.

But they say the apple doesn't fall far from...

No.

That's not true when it comes to my kids.

Those punks only care about food

and nothing about the law.

When I see how successful you are at a young age,

I don't envy you,

but I envy your father

for having a son like you.

I never worked with him directly,

but I heard your father was

as famous as Judge Yoo Myeong-hui

back in the day.

The two leaving the bench was

one of the biggest mysteries in the courthouse.

I'm sure my father envies you for sitting

on the bench and hearing cases.

That's ridiculous.

If I could become the head of Jeongmyeong Law Firm,

I'd jump down from the bench and run right over.

Gosh, don't look at me like that.

Personally,

I wish the final stop for a judge isn't being a lawyer.

I was displeased about my father's choice,

but after hearing you speak,

this soda tastes bittersweet.

It would be nice if the final stop for a judge wasn't being a lawyer.

But that's not reality.

If I didn't have children who are expensive to raise

and if I had a wealthy father,

I'd like to be a judge forever.

Judges have honor, prosecutors have authority,

and lawyers have wealth.

Of course I'd like to remain honorable until the end.

I'm done drinking, so...

CREDIT CARD USAGE NOTIFICATION

See? Why are academy classes so expensive?

This is why everyone rushes off to become a lawyer in the end.

Judge Sah is right.

It's bittersweet indeed.

-You're still up, right? -Yes.

Then take a look at this.

Your skin looks terrible from working so late these days.

Gyeong-ho wouldn't be happy

to see you look so terrible from trying to prove his innocence.

No, it's okay.

Daughter,

what does Yeon-sun need to do

to collect her damages quickly?

That way, I could also get my money back quickly.

Just tell Yeon-sun

to say something to Myeong Su-jin.

What?

"My friend's daughter is close to Judge Jeong Chae-seong."

Really? That's all?

So don't bother me, and go to sleep.

Okay.

Don't work too hard. Get some sleep.

By the way, should we go see your mom and Gyeong-ho tomorrow? It's weekend.

Tomorrow?

No. I have a lot of case files to review,

and I'll be busy for a while with Gyeong-ho's retrial.

Really? Then I'll just go by myself.

Okay.

Get some sleep.

Mom!

Hello.

Did you spend the night here?

Yes. I'm on duty today anyway.

Have you had breakfast?

I'm going to get some gukbap.

Should I go with you?

I know a place nearby that makes good soybean sprout gukbap.

You must've had breakfast already.

Are you just going for me?

Yes. Do you not want me to?

Let's go.

This is it.

What?

Did you two stay up all night together?

Are you getting breakfast after staying up together?

I came here this morning to work.

Judge Sah stayed up all night and is on duty today.

Is that so?

I'm on duty today too.

Hey, eat with me.

Two more bowls of soybean sprout gukbap, please.

I already ate.

Cancel one, please. We only need one.

Okay.

Where are you going?

You can't sit there. They're all reserved. Sit with me.

Sit down.

-Enjoy. -Thank you.

Hey,

are you eating patbingsu? That's hot, you know.

You'll burn the roof of your mouth as I did.

Hey, put this in.

This is incredible. It tastes great.

Mix it in.

Good boy. That's right.

Have the radish kimchi with it.

Eat this too.

Can't you two sit somewhere else?

-If you're done eating, just leave. -Me? Why?

Why are you being like that too?

Stop telling me to leave.

Then I'll leave. Enjoy your breakfast.

Hey, Jeong-ju. I'll walk her there. Eat up.

Hey.

Gosh.

Jeong-ju, I told you not to walk around alone.

Where's the pepper spray I gave you?

Mom.

I brought you fresh underwear. Take it and go on in.

I need to talk with Jeong-ju.

Is that so?

Okay, then walk her to the courthouse for me.

I will.

I'll get going.

Did you finish eating already? Have some more.

I'm done.

Hey, Eui-hyun.

Jeong-ju keeps telling me

to stay out of this case. I think she means it.

But she can't take down Assemblyman Do Jin-myeong alone.

She's not alone.

She's not alone? So she has you?

I can't deny that.

Who else is helping her?

My mom?

Listen closely.

I'll tell you why I can't stay out of this case.

Tell me.

The decisive evidence for Choi Gyeong-ho's innocence is...

me.

Choi Gyeong-ho thought that I was the real murderer.

So that's why he gave me a warning.

What he told me proves

that he's not the real murderer.

There's no one who can prove his innocence better than I can.

You knew that too, didn't you?

Actually, it would've been weirder if you hadn't caught on.

But you couldn't have told Jeong-ju even if you knew, right?

No.

I did tell her.

There's another way

to prove Choi Gyeong-ho's innocence.

It's Prosecutor Do.

You want Prosecutor Do to butt out of this case,

but he's your trump card.

I'm sure you knew it better than anyone.

That's why you wanted him off this case.

Whenever I see Han-jun,

I want to ask him to stand as witness,

but

it's such a difficult thing to ask.

So I thought

it would be better if I didn't see him.

So that's what happened.

Jeong-ju must've had a hard time because of me.

It's hard for me

to watch you and Judge Lee.

Hey, that's nothing

compared to what I'm going through.

I know how you feel.

You'd rather be in my shoes, right?

Watching my miserable life is getting to you, isn't it?

Are you really going to do it?

To get the retrial approved,

this is the best card we have,

don't you think so?

Han-jun found out

that you and I tried to exclude him.

I'll make sure that he stays out of this case.

Jeong-ju,

Kim Ik-cheol might have

recanted the statement he made with me.

I think one of Assemblyman Do's people got the statement

and submitted it to the court.

-Pardon? -His recanted statement will be

a disadvantage to your brother.

I'm thinking of a way to fix this too,

but it's going to be a hard one.

Your hair did nothing wrong.

If things go south, the petition will be dismissed again.

Assemblyman Do got Kim Ik-cheol to recant his statement.

That was the most decisive evidence I had.

Judge Lee.

Yes, Dad.

These are your underwear and dress shirts.

I was going to leave them on your desk,

but I wanted to see you.

Why don't you come inside for a moment?

No.

The judge in your chamber is

connected to the case I'm defending.

Get back to work. I'm leaving now.

Dad.

If you want to help Judge Lee,

you must fully prepare yourself.

Where did Patient Kim Ik-cheol go?

His condition worsened last night,

so he has been transferred to ICU.

JUDGE LEE JEONG-JU

JUDGE LEE JEONG-JU

Judge Lee, this is Jin Se-ra.

Ms. Jin,

where is Judge Sah?

He must have stepped out for a moment.

Should I tell him to call back when he returns?

No, I'll give him a call or something.

Bye then.

Hi, Eui-hyun.

-What brings you here? -I'm here to see you.

Judge Lee just called you.

Do you guys call each other on weekends too?

As you can see, we work on weekends too.

I don't think it's urgent. She said she'll call back.

You answered my phone?

Yes, why? Can't I?

From now on,

don't answer someone else's phone.

"Someone else"?

I know I'm not your girlfriend, but you still treated me like your sister.

Phone calls are private, so respect my privacy.

Eui-hyun, do you like Judge Lee?

What?

Do you like her as a woman?

Is that why you came here while I'm on duty?

No, but this just became more important.

Answer my question.

I'll tell Judge Lee before I answer your question.

Tell me why you're here.

I need to get back to work, so make it as brief as possible.

Eui-hyun.

-Please come on in. -Thank you.

He was actually in the middle of practicing.

Ga-yeong addressed Gyeong-ho

by his first name.

Judge Sah.

Hello, Judge Lee.

What brings you here?

I was

a bit worried.

You didn't answer my calls either.

I was with Yong-su earlier, so I missed your call.

I was actually a bit worried too.

Se-ra is

someone I tutored. She's my student.

I met her by chance at Harvard Law School, so...

Did I ask?

You said you were worried.

I just wondered if it was right

to have Seo Yong-su testify.

What?

Is that so?

I'll get going then.

What were you worried about?

Nothing. I'm not worried anymore.

What was it?

You haven't eaten yet?

Well, no...

Should I go with you?

I know a place nearby

that makes good udon.

Are you just going for me

even though you ate already?

Yes.

Do you not want me to?

Let's go.

That was good.

If you can't finish that, should I help you out?

Sure.

You used to tutor Se-ra?

You said you didn't care.

I don't care about anything when I'm hungry.

But now that I'm full, I'm kind of interested.

I don't like being an afterthought.

Is the trial prep going well?

Well, I guess.

We need to question Seo Yong-su properly

to get the court to accept the fact that Ga-yeong called my brother

by his first name.

Now that Han-jun knows he could blow this case wide open,

he won't sit still.

I promised Professor Yoo that I'd do whatever it takes

to have him stay out of it.

Let's do all we can.

CHOI GYEONG-HO'S RETRIAL HEARING, DAY TWO OF QUESTIONING

The judges agreed

to let your mom sit next to you,

so listen carefully and answer comfortably.

Seo Yong-su, you know Choi Gyeong-ho, correct?

Gyeong-ho and I are

close.

Gyeong-ho was wronged.

You also know Kim Ga-yeong, correct?

Ga-yeong and I are close.

Ga-yeong...

Give me Ga-yeong's sneaker.

Yong-su, let's talk about the sneaker later.

Ga-yeong's sneaker.

Sneaker!

Yong-su, it's okay.

Does Ga-yeong know Gyeong-ho?

We ate ramen together too.

What did Ga-yeong call Gyeong-ho?

Ga-yeong called Gyeong-ho

by his first name.

She called him by his first name?

Thank you.

There are no more questions.

Witness.

Witness?

-Seo Yong-su? -Yes.

Your Honor, the witness seems to be very nervous--

I'll just ask one simple question.

-Seo Yong-su? -Yes.

Did Kim Ga-yeong

ever call Choi Gyeong-ho "Mister"?

Is that a yes or a no?

Is that a no?

If you lie here, you'll be in trouble.

Did she or did she not?

I don't know.

You don't know?

We will end the questioning here.

Claimant.

Yes?

We've given you a second round of questioning

for the retrial hearing,

so if you have nothing else to submit, we should end here.

Your Honor, if you'd give me one more hearing--

As the claimant,

you've done more than enough.

Let's end here.

Your Honor.

I'm Do Han-jun from Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office.

I will testify that Choi Gyeong-ho is innocent.

What did you say?

I am the son of Assemblyman Do Jin-myeong,

who testified at the first hearing.

Specifically, what do you plan to testify?

I can't tell you in advance.

I will tell you on the stand.

In the criminal court,

a witness may be summoned by authority

to uncover the substantive truth.

That is true, but...

The claimant must request it.

Claimant,

would you like to call Do Han-jun as a witness?

If the claimant refuses to call you as a witness--

No.

She will.

We assume the claimant does not wish to call the witness.

I will.

If the prosecution has no objections,

Do Han-jun will stand as a witness and--

Not Do Han-jun.

I'd like to call Sah Eui-hyun as a witness.

What did you say?

I'd like to call Sah Eui-hyun, who's sitting in the courtroom,

as a witness.
