Original subtitles

(All characters, organizations, places, cases, and incidents...)

(in this drama are fictitious.)

Upon hearing about the search and seizure,

we told DN in advance to get rid of things that shouldn't be seen.

- Who's on-site? - Mr. Park's team, sir.

Senior Prosecutor Pyo In Hyuk is handling it?

Yes, sir. Since transferring to Criminal Division Five last year,

he's been determined to dig up dirt on DN.

Why couldn't we have found out sooner?

Well, the investigation was done very discreetly.

We should probably...

We get paid to find out such discreet activities.

Do you understand?

Do you know how much DN contributes to the company's revenue?

My apologies, sir.

I should've paid more attention. It's all my fault, sir.

Use all of our sources and find out what the prosecution has.

Especially if anyone is linked to Senior Prosecutor Pyo...

and who it is. Find out as soon as possible!

Understood, sir.

Be prepared to resign if we can't protect Chairman Choi this time!

Hey, wait.

I don't appreciate your wording.

- What are you talking about? - It's not like I work under you.

As soon as I apologized, what? A mistake?

Gosh, does that mean I'm...

You shouldn't have chimed in like that.

Look.

It was your mistake, and I was simply trying to help you out. What?

Then you take sole responsibility for what happened and resign.

She thinks she can be that arrogant because Mr. Bang is fond of her.

You just watch.

Move.

Move, step aside.

- Let us through! - Just a moment, please.

- Please... - Move.

B and G called, so we were able to get the accounting department ready.

You guys wasted your time.

If they really had been after something,

they wouldn't have come in broad daylight.

It means they already have something big.

This time, I'm getting a bad feeling for some reason.

I don't think dragging it out...

using a few loopholes in the law is going to cut it.

Well...

Earlier, I got this text message.

I thought it was a prank, but...

Could you make a comment?

Is it true that a part of...

your funds went to some assemblymen?

There's the talk of paying tax accountants too.

They only have proof of the slush funds and tax evasion,

so please refrain from writing anything speculative.

Is it true there's a whistleblower?

- Please comment. - Of those...

close to the chairman who could've talked...

(Jung Hyun Soo)

We suspect these three people.

These two are DN Group's chief secretaries,

and one of them is CEO of DN Distribution, an affiliate,

so I think they're unlikely candidates.

The most likely suspect is this man.

Jang Gil Su was head of Chinese operations...

until his retirement last year.

He returned recently.

Why did he leave DN?

From what we know so far, he wasn't promoted.

He expected to become a VP at the head office,

but it seems the decrease of sales in China...

caused opposition for his promotion.

That can't be true.

Would they have done that when he helped establish the company?

You're wrong.

Then who do you think blew the whistle?

I wouldn't know.

Do you know where Jang Gil Su is?

The prosecution will be hiding him.

My goodness.

Is there nothing we can do then?

Fortunately, we found a link.

It's this woman.

Jo Gyeong Ja, Jang Gil Su's wife.

Apparently, she teaches violin...

at an academy in Seoul.

We're locating where that academy is.

What are you doing?

Are you here to fool around?

No.

To be honest,

I'm here to rescue you and your husband.

I'm Go Tae Rim.

(Lawyer Go Tae Rim)

Get out of here. Right now.

I guarantee he becomes VP...

and Head of French Operations for five years.

That's my offer.

You have a daughter who's planning to study abroad.

(Jenny Yun Violin)

She quit as of today.

She just left with a student.

You lost her?

I apologize.

Do you think she chased a dead lead?

It's still just speculation that Jang Gil Su blew the whistle.

What do you think, Director Park?

You know DN Group very well.

I witnessed the search and seizure yesterday.

The investigators didn't seem to be looking for anything.

Prosecutor Pyo got the warrant.

It's pretty safe to say that he had inside information.

I'm sorry.

How am I to face Chairman Choi now?

Should we go in empty-handed...

and clap our hands or something?

I'm pretty sure they suspect Jang Gil Su already.

I think it's best that we leak information on his wife...

and appeal the fact that we have no problem getting to him.

We should stall for now?

Yes. We still have a lead.

She gave her students her number.

There's no choice.

Director Park, let's see the chairman together.

Okay. I'll get things ready.

Then...

- I'll come along. - Yoon Sang Koo.

- Yes, sir? - I'm opening an office abroad.

Would you care to go?

Of course. Where is it?

The Gobi Desert!

Pull yourself together...

or I really will send you there! Got it?

Yes, sir. I'll work hard.

I can't believe he's my brother-in-law.

My gosh.

- Did you break it? - No.

Get out! Just get out? Darn you.

I'm sorry, sir.

Is something bothering you?

No. It's nothing.

It...

isn't anything.

What did I say? He's all about money.

Even so, 500,000 dollars is too much.

I can only lend you up to 200,000 dollars.

Forget it.

I wouldn't want to give him even a cent.

Hey, let's hang up.

(Daewon Gosiwon)

This might actually be better.

When I was a student, I struggled with my tuition and living expenses.

And after I graduated, every day was a struggle...

because I had to earn money for my rent and academy fees.

(The woman I love the most in the world)

My mom?

It's been a long time since I haven't had a mom.

She left me to get remarried when I was in middle school.

Don't bring her up in front of me.

You kept everything bottled up as well.

(The woman I love the most in the world)

I'm sorry to leave her with you.

What should I tell her?

You tell her.

I can't.

You know I can't leave if I see her.

Tell her that...

if she listens to you and studies hard,

that I'll come back soon.

I won't be away long.

Jae In.

Hang in there.

Dad will be back soon.

Were you awake?

Then you should've said so.

You could've said goodbye.

It hurts.

It would...

hurt Dad too much if he saw me.

He would...

only remember my crying face.

Well done. You're a good girl.

You're all grown up already.

You held back.

You did something for your dad's sake.

Well done. Good girl.

Dad.

Dad...

Why are you here waiting for us?

Actually, I have something to tell you.

I'm very sorry.

But I need to fend for myself now.

Sir, please reconsider.

If we did anything to upset you, forgive us.

Come on now. It's not like that.

I'm really sorry to Director Park...

for doing this when I'm your friend.

No worries.

So what's the reason?

You're the one canceling the contract,

so it's only polite for you to tell us why.

Yes, I guess you're right.

Well, how should I put this?

B and G Law Firm is like a great baseball team...

that doesn't have a memorable star player.

Is that enough of an explanation?

Well, I guess we have no choice.

Tell him to come inside.

I'm sure you know each other.

Yes, sir.

Have you been doing well?

Go Tae Rim, how dare you?

Sir, I know this guy better than anyone.

He's not qualified enough to handle a large corporation like yours.

You're right.

Stuff like international affairs or mergers and acquisitions...

do not require creativity or analytical skills.

Thus, those kinds of work should be entrusted to a law firm.

That's why I'm thinking about carrying out a subcontract.

In other words, I'm looking for a subcontractor.

A subcontractor.

If you'd like to participate, I'll take you into consideration.

What? A subcontractor?

Sir, I'm sorry. I'm going to excuse myself.

You're looking for Director Jang's wife, aren't you?

Don't we look very friendly?

You were a useless jerk, but I took you in and trained you.

And this is how you repay me?

You ungrateful jerk.

You shouldn't consider yourself so clean and pure.

Plus, you're the one who started playing dirty.

What? Dirty?

You...

Why don't you take the next one?

Yes, sir.

Goodness, look who's calling.

Are you seriously going to be like this?

Is this the best you can do?

I won't stop you from thinking that way.

But don't you think you should...

keep your own people under control before blaming it on me?

I sent you an email,

so try to figure out...

what may have caused the situation to turn out this way.

You just wait.

I'm a guy...

who pays manyfold back for revenge.

Sang Koo, that fool.

Nice. Watch out.

Who do they think they are?

I've been playing for years now.

How could they not recognize the Tiger Woods of this field?

- Mr. Yoon. - Yes, do you see this?

I did it! I won!

You don't have time for this. The firm's in a mess.

Gosh, I'm sure it's nothing.

The moment I hit the ball from the 6th par-3 hole,

the ball soared up into the sky...

and dropped right into the hole and became a hole-in-one.

That's how it's done.

Today's a really good day for me.

Golf is my best friend

Gosh, what's wrong?

What is it, sir? Why are you doing this?

What did you do to Monster Pervert?

That... That was just a joke.

A joke? It was a joke?

You little punk.

But you hate him too!

Every time you got drunk,

you badmouthed him saying he betrayed our firm.

Do you know what happened to our firm because of you?

Do you know? Do you?

All I did...

My gosh. All I did was stay loyal to you.

It's coming. Gosh, my stomach.

The moment I showed him the photo, Dae Han looked so startled.

- What are you doing here? - Please do me a favor, sir.

Didn't you say I was a reckless jerk and the root of all bad things?

I'm sorry, sir.

I must've been out of my mind back then.

Please do me a favor. Please.

Do you actually think you're being cute right now?

I'm scared that I might see you in my dreams.

I don't even want to talk to you, so get lost.

Please. Okay?

I'm sorry.

I don't think you can get him to help.

Go away. Go away.

Goodness, I'm sorry.

This is my payment agreement.

If I exclude my living expenses,

I'll be able to pay everything back in 18 years.

Please give this to him.

I'll take it and give it to him, but he still won't help you.

Bye, then.

Mr. Gu, what are you doing?

I think it's time to get rid of everything.

We waited long enough by keeping it vacant for six months.

He won't come back, will he?

I don't think so.

Did you get a call?

No, I haven't gotten a single call.

Let's leave it for another month.

Understood, sir.

It's a ghost!

Sir, please help!

- Please! - I'm going to sue you...

for breaking and entering and for causing mental stress and trauma.

I'm going to sue you!

I think she's gone now. Please calm down.

She's like a disgusting little leech.

Mr. Gu, I want you to build a new wall tomorrow.

Make it higher and sturdier.

I got good enough scores to become a judge.

But ever since I was little, my grandpa always called me...

"Prosecutor Jin."

That's why I applied to become a prosecutor.

I see.

On top of that, I really hate all kinds of social evils...

such as murderers and gangsters.

That's incredible.

By the way, where are your father's buildings located?

He has 2 50-story buildings in Samseong-dong.

And he has about 5 to 6 buildings...

that are about 10 to 20 stories high.

Did you say you're an only child?

- Prosecutor Jin. - Yes, Miss Seol Hee?

What will you do if I murdered someone...

and you were put in charge of the case?

Why would someone like you ever kill anyone?

Why wouldn't I? I feel the urge to kill people...

so many times throughout the day.

I want to kill everyone...

who spits everywhere,

who abuses their power as customers,

and who honks like crazy at inexperienced drivers.

You're testing me right now, aren't you?

If I commit murder, would you help so that I won't have to go to jail?

Well, we're not really close enough...

Let's say we're madly in love.

But still, if you committed murder...

What if my dad gives you one of his buildings in Samseong-dong?

How much is the market price?

I personally think you should become an attorney.

I went on a blind date...

with 3 judges and 4 prosecutors this month.

And you have the lowest sense of ethics among all of them.

You're crossing the line here.

That's how you should feel when you fight against corruption...

instead of asking about the market price.

Good luck, Prosecutor Park.

Seol Hee.

Cheers.

But my dad doesn't plan on introducing me to an attorney.

- Isn't that funny? - I totally get him.

He doesn't need an attorney son-in-law...

who's crazy about money.

Your dad wants someone who is just.

Do you know what justice is?

Justice...

is justice.

It's just really hard to witness.

No, I'll tell you what justice is.

Politics.

According to that jerk, justice is politics.

So in order to achieve justice,

you need to be involved in politics.

Monster Pervert must've given you a really hard time.

What are you going to do about your appeal?

Should I go on a blind date with an attorney?

Apparently, I'm hopeless.

Apparently, only that monster or pervert, who believes...

that justice and politics are the same, can win the case.

Then shall I try to seduce him?

I can tell him that my dad is rich.

He disgraces all fellow lawyers.

No, that jerk disgraces mankind.

My client is locked up in the cold cell...

for a crime that he didn't even commit,

but I, his lawyer, am drinking away right now.

I'm embarrassed by myself.

I'm so embarrassed by myself!

- Hey. - I'm embarrassed.

What's gotten into you?

Hey.

What are you going to do?

You even signed that unfair contract.

You must be really desperate.

I'm going to quit.

Yes, you should. It's just too much.

No.

I'm going to quit being a lawyer...

if I can't clear his name.

I'm not confident about staying in this profession.

You want me to take it on?

- Yes, sir. - Why?

To be honest, since Mr. Kang left six months ago,

I've been struggling to prepare all the documents for you.

If you're going to take on DN Group's case as well,

we need more people.

I see. That's why you talked about cleaning the desk.

Still, we shouldn't take on a case that's going to pay us peanuts.

This is the payment agreement she sent.

I've done the math,

and she'll be able to pay us in full in about 18 years and 3 months.

So are you suggesting making her work instead of paying us?

Well, that's not enough of an explanation though.

Let's not hire such a rookie.

We should interview some good-looking lawyers...

No, it has to be Lawyer Seo.

Right, I heard you. But why?

Because I'd like to work with her.

If you decline my request...

What will you do?

I'll accept the Moroccan royal family's offer for the role...

- of their horse farm manager. - The Moroccan royal family?

To tell you the truth, even Sotheby's got in touch with me,

wanting to hire me as an auctioneer specializing Asian ceramics,

so I'm torn.

Sotheby's? Ceramics?

The clear, subtle glazing is very nice,

but from the shape, I can tell it was made in a factory.

What can I help you with this time?

- Did I call you? - No, I called him.

I figured you'd need someone to clean for you after I leave.

What should I do? Shall I just go to Morocco or Sotheby's?

My gosh. Are you resigning, Mr. Gu?

Then who's going to cook for Mr. Go, do laundry, put together outfits,

do skin care, and organize all the documents for him?

(Republic of Korea)

Hey, someone's calling you.

Someone's calling you.

Hello? At the moment, Jae In is...

Hey, you clueless rookie.

It's me, Go Tae Rim. Run here immediately.

Hello? Hello?

Hey, what are you doing at my place?

Don't you remember?

You just got a call.

From who?

I don't know. He called you a rookie and told you to run to where he is.

"Rookie?"

Who made such a prank call this early in the morning...

Why? What's going on?

I made some minor changes.

Please go through it and sign at the bottom.

I tried to reduce the duration, 18 months and 3 months.

What you see there, 15 years and 3 months,

is only valid when there are no incentives.

Gosh, 15 years isn't much different from 18 years.

Basically, it will end when a lifer is released on parole.

I'm already sick of it.

Of course, if you take on individual cases and win,

it'll be reduced significantly.

Maybe if she's gifted with such abilities overnight.

"For any unforeseeable circumstances,"

"or if the contractor goes against the firm's rules..."

Yes, we'll introduce you to a private lender...

and get the payment in full.

You can just pay them back.

Don't sign it if you don't want to. We can't force you to sign it.

You agree, right?

You won't go to Morocco or Sotheby's.

Right, I won't.

You don't have to sign it if you don't want to.

But from what I know, the appeal deadline is coming up soon.

Okay, I have a condition though.

If you fail to get an acquittal on this case,

this contract will be annulled.

That's a given.

I'm different from those incompetent jerks...

who still collect payment after losing,

saying that they did their best.

(Debtor: Seo Jae In)

Your suit has been ironed.

[VIU Ver] jTBC E02 'Legal High' "Jae In Gets Hired by Tae Rim" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

Mr. Gu, is this cheese omelet?

How could it taste like this? It's so good.

When I lived in Switzerland,

I worked as a chef for a short while.

I knew it.

- Please have a seat. - Okay.

He used to invite the employees over to his place occasionally...

to cook with them and have team dinners.

So it's nothing unnatural that your fingerprint was found on the knife.

You said you were coerced to confess during the police interrogation.

You said a detective threatened you.

You also said he kicked your chair, right?

To be more exact, he kicked the chair leg.

Are you listening?

Goodness, who spat on the floor? How gross.

He's explaining everything again because of you.

Try to focus, please.

Then what were you doing at the time of the incident?

It suddenly started raining,

so I was at a bus stop to avoid getting soaked.

He'll have a valid alibi if we can prove it.

But sadly, there's no witness.

That was after the buses had stopped running.

Did you just sit at the bus stop until the rain stopped?

There was a store nearby.

He got himself a canned coffee...

I'm asking him.

You bought yourself coffee. Then the store owner must've seen you.

The store owner doesn't remember him.

And he doesn't have the receipt.

What's your name again?

Right, Kim Byung Tae.

Enjoy your time here while it lasts.

You won't have to stay here for much longer.

This is the police's case report,

and this is the forensics report.

These are similar precedents that I collected.

- What's this? - The reason for appeal.

This is useless. This is all garbage.

They'll make my eyes rot.

This and that too.

You have a knack for collecting garbage.

Dump them in the garbage bin immediately.

Then what am I supposed to do?

First, collect stories about heart-warming things that he's done.

Is he a good son? Does he always make sure there's no food waste?

Collect anything.

Hello.

Do you remember Byung Tae who used to live here with his mom?

- This is him. - Yes, we remember him.

I had all of you gather here to ask you about Byung Tae.

My grandson is so sweet.

Whenever I got home from working all day out on the field,

he gave me such nice shoulder and back massages.

He always greeted us politely.

My gosh. Every holiday season, he bought us shoes and clothes...

Second, collect complaints about the officer in charge.

I said, let go. It hurts.

Hey! You rude punk.

You're lucky that I'm letting you go today.

If I catch you again, you'll be dead meat.

For goodness' sake.

Hello, could you spare me a moment?

What do you want?

Third, put them all together and get the media involved.

The court cares a great deal about public opinion.

(Who'll help the framed student?)

(A smarter government)

(Eradicate police coercion?)

(Violent interrogations?)

The detective went too far.

He kicked my chair then said it was a mistake.

You can't do that anymore.

If I'm grilled on something I didn't do,

I begin to think I did it.

Fourth, involve human rights organizations.

We're trying to show you that Kim Byung Tae's innocent.

A young man was framed...

because of a flawed investigation.

Please sign our petition.

Please cooperate for our youth.

Please help.

Come up and sign the petition. Thank you.

It really wasn't me.

I didn't do it.

When I was a senior prosecutor,

I saw so...

so many fools like you.

Despite the clear evidence,

they just go on insisting they didn't do it.

They even shed tears like you are right now.

I'm sorry, but really, all I did...

was hire an old woman protesting outside the courthouse...

to curse at Monster Pervert.

Then what's this? What is this?

This is just crazy.

I don't know who this is.

I swear on my dead mom.

- Believe me, Dae Han. - Be quiet.

From now on, don't you dare...

think on your own or decide anything on your own.

Don't you even move a finger, okay?

- Okay. - Darn you.

- Don't! - Okay.

Was it really not you?

How many times must I say so?

It's not me, it's not me, it's not me, it's not me, it's not me.

What if someone put the blame on us?

Is it someone with a grudge...

or a third party who wants to upset...

Monster Pervert to cause us harm?

A grudge? On me?

Isn't it obvious?

The damage this cost us...

is on our law firm and you.

I don't have a grudge.

I swear on the sky that...

I didn't do anything that bad.

That means it could be a rival law firm.

Let's look into it some more.

You're more suspicious.

You pretend to defend me...

to cover up something you did.

Who are you?

I heard that you have many cars.

Why do you take the subway?

So my enemies can't predict my movements.

I let my guard down and someone figured out my schedule.

Oh, the trauma.

Did someone hurt you?

Assault.

It was an assassination disguised as an assault to be exact.

It can't be.

He kicked and punched me and with a knife...

Don't come near me.

Don't do things that people will hold grudges for.

Are you saying I do things that people will hold grudges for?

I didn't mean that exactly.

You haven't learned that...

people are hurt and angered by events...

that aren't always causally related.

What?

Even one who has never done anything wrong...

can suffer for no reason.

That is life.

I was here many times.

The owner doesn't remember him.

- The photo. - What?

- Give me Byung Tae's photo. - Oh, okay.

- Hello. - Hi.

I don't know.

How many times must I say that?

Do you think this will make me remember?

Do you keep sales records?

I told that lady already.

It rained a lot that night.

I was closing up when someone bought a coffee.

I just don't remember the face.

He sat over there...

with a coffee when the bus service had ended.

It must've bothered you.

I'm getting forgetful these days.

Mr. Park Hyo Sung.

How do you know my name?

The human brain is a fascinating organ.

Even if you think you forgot,

memories are rooted deep within your subconscious.

You just need something to jog it to the surface.

Even so...

The media latched onto this story.

Do you know the public's interested?

- I know that. - Take a seat.

Your statement...

could rescue an innocent young man from ruin.

You're the only one with the power to do so.

Saving someone else...

is like saving yourself too.

The wife and daughter you're separated from...

might come to see the trial.

Mr. Park.

Take the stand and speak the truth.

The sight of you exposing the corrupt...

prosecutors and police.

What would your wife and daughter think of that?

What are you doing?

I'm only helping him open the Door of Memory.

Is there a problem?

Well?

Is the Door of Memory opening?

Do you recall anything?

Well, the truth is...

I told the police that I saw someone...

- dressed similarly to him. - What?

Did the police say anything like this?

"You're mistaken."

It's over.

We got the ruling.

Reversed and remanded.

We go to court again.

Congratulations.

Eat with us.

It's awesome.

Mr. Gu's cooking is the best.

- Do you want more? - No, no.

I had two servings already.

Good job.

Thank you. Call me again if you need me.

- Is that man... - Don't get distracted.

This is for real.

If you lose this time,

you don't just fail yourself as a lawyer.

You fail as a human being, okay?

Okay.

My gosh, who do we have here?

It's the person who...

turned against us in just a day.

- Are you doing well? - Gosh, no. Not at all.

I was in a bog of sorrow...

and despair that's not at all nice!

Why? Because of your boss, the Monster Pervert.

Give him a message.

I will come to judge him soon.

- What? - Didn't you hear me?

I'll come to judge him.

Don't you know what that is?

- Tell him that. - Jae In, get in.

Tell him that I'll judge him.

Judge.

Good. I looked very cool.

I'm sorry.

I couldn't tell you about my move.

Don't mind. I'd have done the same if I were you.

I understand.

I was right.

You'll do anything for your client.

Yes.

Opinions, affiliations, and relationships.

They started to fill my head since I don't know when.

You're not at all like that.

I want to become a good lawyer like you one day.

I used to get into trouble.

Back then, I knew nothing about the law,

but I knew right from wrong much better than I do now.

So, how's your new boss?

He's the worst person I ever met in my life.

You'll learn a lot there.

Tae Rim was first in his class at the judicial institute,

but he chose to become a lawyer.

Professor.

Were you waiting for me?

No, I was exercising.

I'm getting fat around the waist.

It's cold. Let's go inside.

I went to apologize to Ms. Min.

I'm sorry for giving up when you recommended me.

Wrong.

I only asked her to settle your assault case.

Ju Kyung got you the internship at B and G by herself.

Either way.

If I hadn't known Ms. Min,

I wouldn't even have been able to apply.

Listen to me.

I know you want to live an upright life.

I already gave up on that a long time ago.

That's why I'm still brazen enough to live with you...

even after all the financial help you gave me.

You suddenly sound a lot more outspoken.

I'm going to live differently from now on.

I'm going to stop holding things in and start speaking my mind.

I want to try doing that even if I end up regretting it.

And...

I'm also going to stop missing people.

You must miss your dad.

I'm not going to wait for him anymore.

Chairman Choi will get charged without detention.

Executive Director Jang apparently reversed...

everything he had said to the prosecution.

Monster Pervert planned everything from the very beginning.

He made Executive Director Jang report to the prosecution...

and used that as bait to steal DN from us.

And this is the outcome.

A total of 10 lawyers left the firm including Mr. Park.

20 percent of our manpower just got fired.

And you told me not to be bothered.

I'm sorry, sir. I was too careless.

I guess we'll have no choice but to bring down Monster Pervert...

like you had originally suggested.

Do you have a plan?

Monster Pervert had a mentee named Lawyer Kang Gi Seok.

He worked for Monster Pervert for two years,

and he quit six months ago.

Monster Pervert's mentee?

Monster Pervert is like a passionate samba.

Meanwhile, Kang Gi Seok is more like a classy waltz.

He'll be able to predict all of Monster Perverts moves.

Someone who knows Monster Pervert more than anybody.

That sounds intriguing.

But do you really think he'll come work for us?

I gave him an unconventional offer,

and he already said yes.

He's the type that responds to money?

But then again, that's probably what he learned from his teacher.

I'm already dying to see...

the look on Monster Pervert's face when he finds out about this.

(Lawyer Min Ju Kyung)

Lawyer Kang Gi Seok?

My sister!

I'm going to finish this. I'll put a complete end to this.

The prosecutor in charge is Prosecutor Hwang Tae Ho...

who is known for being very sharp.

Who? Hwang Tae Ho?

He's known for being sharp?

Do you know him?

There were a few times...

when I managed to make him feel so small that...

the automatic door sensor couldn't detect him.

(Defense Counsel)

- What are you doing? - I'm trying to loosen up.

All you have to do is just sit down and watch.

You have nothing to do today.

(Defense Counsel)

There he is. My little toy.

I'm glad they don't use automatic doors here.

Let's begin the trial.

"Dimwit, idiot, loser, and useless punk."

Is that what the victim used to call you?

- Defendant? - Yes.

How did that make you feel?

It didn't feel nice.

On top of that, the victim also frequently kicked and punched you...

in front of all the other employees after business hours were over.

- Am I correct? - Yes.

And two days before the incident,

you got fired in front of all the other employees. Am I correct?

Yes.

Can you please tell me...

all the part-time jobs you've worked starting from January 2017...

to November 2018, the day of the incident?

I worked as a delivery man at a jokbal restaurant.

I was a staff at a lamb skewer restaurant.

I peeled onions at a Chinese restaurant.

I worked at a coffee shop.

I was an employee at a stair cleaning company.

I... I can't remember every single job.

That's why I brought the entire list.

He worked at a car wash, an assembly plant,

delivered flowers, worked as a chauffeur,

worked at a sashimi restaurant, delivered gimbap,

cleaned internet cafes, worked as a valet parking agent, and so on.

He had a total of 23 jobs.

And out of those 23 jobs, 19 of them...

fired the defendant for being too slow.

And 10 of them cursed at him and insulted him in the process.

Additionally, he was physically abused...

seven times by each business owner.

And I invited all of them here today.

Please stand up.

I'm sorry to say this to the youth of this era.

But these kinds of wrongdoings that need to be eradicated...

still evidently exist in our society.

Therefore, judging from the fact that the defendant...

had already experienced dealing with such business owners for years,

the victim's insults and physical assaults...

were nothing special or new to the defendant.

And according to my research, all the other business owners...

of the remaining 22 jobs are still alive and well.

Therefore, I'd like to point out that the evidence...

presented by the prosecution is not enough to prove that he's guilty.

According to Kim Byung Tae, the defendant,

you kicked the defendant's chair, yelled at him,

and even threatened him during the interrogation.

That's not true.

The problem is that there's no footage...

of the defendant giving his testimony.

The interrogation room was getting remodeled that day.

So I had to take him to one of our old interrogation rooms.

And I heard later on that the camera was actually broken.

An old interrogation room?

Are you sure you didn't take him there on purpose...

knowing that the camera was broken?

Or maybe you threw away the recorded footage.

I would never do that.

But Kim Byung Tae told me that the camera light was on...

and that everything was being recorded just fine.

I'm sure he was mistaken.

At this rate, he'll be able to get acquitted at the final trial.

Why are you so happy? You did nothing.

You're practically just a chick, so focus on growing up.

I was always scared of that prosecutor.

Just by looking into his eyes,

I felt like I was going to freeze.

But today, I didn't feel like that at all because of you.

I'm so happy and excited right now.

Why are you so chipper?

Counting on your guardian, you thought you could be all arrogant.

You see, you assaulted me.

How could you not even apologize to me? You little...

Hey, wait. Hey!

What... What are you doing? Are you actually going to punch me?

You'll be hospitalized for more than three weeks if I punch you, okay?

Act up again if you're confident you can beat me.

Well...

Welcome, Mr. Kang.

Brother!

Well, I'm sure you've heard about the situation.

What should our strategy be?

Just a moment, please.

Okay.

- What did you just say? - What?

- I was saying... - What should we do...

in order to beat Monster Pervert, brother?

There's an Algerian proverb like this.

"Pick up your arrow on the days when there are no flies."

"Flies?"

"Arrow?"

We don't need to come up with a new strategy.

Let's just put a spoon on the table.

Do you get what he's saying?

Are you sure he is Monster Pervert's mentee?

Yes, he is. I've seen him defending his client in the courtroom.

His style is quite quirky,

but when it comes to win rate, he probably outdoes Monster Pervert.

Why can't I trust him though?

He's a lawyer,

and yet he keeps fiddling with his phone like a kid.

The fact that he's not like most lawyers...

can be his strength, don't you think?

- Are you all right? - Yes, I'm fine. I'm sorry.

Don't be. We're mutually responsible.

Thank you.

Mr. Go, that's Mr. Kang.

Yes. That's really him, right?

Brother!

- Brother! - Brother!

- We meet again. - Yes, hello.

- Are you back for good? - Yes, I need to work, you know.

There they are.

They're from the law firm I just joined.

You two already met.

All three of you are here.

Mr. Go Tae Rim, who is Mr. Bang's mentee,

and Mr. Kang Gi Seok, who is Mr. Go's mentee.

"Mentee?"

Life is like a boomerang.

What you throw in life always comes back at you.

Let's go.

See you around, Tae Rim. See you again.

Mr. Gu.

Are you all right?

The trial will begin shortly.

Pull yourself together. Let's go. We have to go.

Defense Counsel, aren't you going to make your case?

(Defense Counsel)

At the time of the incident, which was around 11:50pm on November 15,

a man bought coffee from your store, which is 15km away...

from where the incident took place. Do you remember that man?

- Yes. - Is he here now?

- Yes, he is. - Who is it?

(Witness Stand)

It's that guy.

I rest my case.

Your Honor, I request to have another witness testify.

- Objection. - This witness...

is closely linked to the testimony...

provided by Defense Counsel's witness just now.

We just found her after looking for her for quite some time.

Prosecution's witness, proceed to the witness stand.

(Witness Stand)

(Defense Counsel)

My name is Shin Mi Kyung.

I teach art history at a college.

Around 11:50pm on November 15, 2018,

what were you doing at that time?

I was preoccupied with a book at a bookstore, so I missed the bus.

I went over to the store by the bus stop and got myself coffee.

Then I waited there until my brother came and picked me up.

Did you buy that coffee from that man?

Yes, it is him.

It was a while ago. How can you be so sure?

Because of my blog post and photos.

This will answer that question.

(November 15, 2018)

All right, let me ask you again.

Did the defendant really buy coffee at your store that day?

Or was it Ms. Shin Mi Kyung?

Well, I don't remember exactly.

That's...

Yes, I remember now.

That skull scarf.

That's right. It was that lady.

Yes.

You're lying.

Why are you lying? I bought coffee from you on that day.

Why are you lying? Let me go.

Why on earth are you lying?

I'm the one who bought it!

Let go. Let go of me!

You know I bought it!

All right, the court is adjourned.

Did I lose?

Bang Dae Han brought Kang Gi Seok into the picture out of the blue.

And there's Prosecutor Hwang.

And in the midst of them all...

Seo Jae In.

You know about our strategy better than anybody else does!

What did I do?

You're a spy, aren't you? Otherwise, it just makes no sense.

- Confess. You're a spy, right? - No, I am not.

You'd better confess before I torture you with a stun gun.

- I know you're a spy! - I told you that I'm not!

Leave. Get out this instant!

(Legal High)

Monster Pervert must be pretty shocked.

I mean, his mentee beat him.

- As if. - Brother!

You'll be assisting me starting today, right?

What? I'll assist you?

By the way, what's the real reason?

I must beat number 1 to be number 1.

If you're incompetent, at least be quick-witted.

Malicious virus. That's you!

No!

Find the real culprit.

- Go away! - You can save yourself...

by helping that one person.

We must find the real culprit. The culprit!

The culprit!

No!

If we lose today, our contract will be annulled.

What? Is that a threat?

Mr. Gu. Mr. Gu!

Fire her immediately.

Get out! Get out of here right now!

- Did you call for a chauffeur? - Gosh, you startled me.

You startled me.

I didn't call for a chauffeur.

Aren't you Yoon Sang Koo?

You called for a chauffeur at Cheongdam intersection.

Yes, that's my name.

But I... I left my car...

I must've called you at the bar.
