Monster Pervert cares about Gi Seok? Really?

That makes no sense.

But judging by the results, it does seem like he cared.

How weird.

If you're an attorney, just focus on handling your cases,

and stop meddling in other things.

I asked you about the relationship between Judge Song and Seo Jae In.

Well, I'll tell you.

Judge Song is like a sponsor and mentor to Ms. Seo.

The scholarship foundation Judge Song was involved in...

granted scholarships to Ms. Seo.

That's how they first met.

Then after she passed the bar exam,

they met again as mentor and mentee at the judicial institute...

and started living together.

Right, but why Seo Jae In out of all the scholarship students?

I'm not sure.

I haven't figured out the reason yet.

Shall I look into it?

No, there's no need.

All right, then.

There's good news.

The vice president of Wangmin Group is in Korea at the moment.

Wang Xin Yuan, my love.

So today is my only chance if she's leaving tomorrow, right?

Wait for me. Wang Xin Yuan, my love.

Please wait a moment here. I'll get the car ready.

Okay.

I'm lawyer Go Tae Rim.

I'd like to play an important role to ensure...

Wangmin Group's continued success.

I'd like to play an important role.

What's happening?

Who are you?

Me? What do you want me to do?

You said you learned boxing.

Fight, okay? After all, we're all alone in life.

Fight and win. You must overcome this.

Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu!

- Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu! - Mr. Go!

You!

You jerk!

Ms. Seo.

Ms. Seo, are you all right?

She's okay, right?

Seo Jae In, Chirp Chirp!

Seo Jae In!

Seo Jae In!

(Lawyer Min Ju Kyung)

Ms. Min, thanks for your concern.

I mean, thank you very much.

No, that sounds too servile.

I heard you helped me out. Thank you!

No, that's too much.

I accept your feelings for me.

Here's my love.

She'll fall for me 100 percent.

What are you doing here?

Nothing.

Wait, I have something to say.

Talk as we walk.

Wait. Wait.

Why must I follow her? Am I her minion?

Wait up.

Gi Seok. What happened to Jae In?

She's at a hospital. She was attacked.

What?

Seo Jae In was attacked?

(Youngcheon University Hospital)

Professor.

Hey there.

How is Jae In?

I don't know. I only heard she was attacked.

If she was attacked,

was a weapon involved?

I hope that's not the case.

She'll be fine, yes, she will be.

She should be okay.

I'm sure she's fine.

Jae In.

Jae In.

She was attacked?

Yes. Her heart stopped right as she arrived.

No. You have to be strong, Jae In.

Be strong.

Don't die.

Don't die.

Gi Seok?

Jae In.

Did someone you know go into surgery?

Just a moment.

I pray in the Lord's name. Amen.

You thought the person they wheeled in was Jae In, right?

That's why you pretended to pray.

No, I...

I felt sorry for the person and wanted to pray.

Every life is precious.

Do you want to join?

Is Jae In badly hurt?

Well...

- It's so cold. - My gosh.

- What's going on? - You said Jae In was hurt.

You said she was attacked.

Yes, she was.

What's he doing in the bed?

Why is everyone here making a fuss?

Go away. Leave.

Jae In, are you okay? Were you hurt?

Other than the stiff neck, I'm fine.

That's great. I'm so relieved.

You're just fine. All that fuss was for nothing.

It's like we came here to visit Monster Pervert.

Were you attacked together?

As if. The one putting on a show over there...

just stood by and watched Jae In get attacked.

It wasn't like that.

Why is he in bed then?

Are you getting an IV drip while you're here?

You're really brazen.

You haven't hit rock bottom, you dug underground.

Do you know how huge the trauma was for me?

I'm still trembling...

and the 870 nerves in my thighs and calves...

could be severely damaged.

Can you cover me up, Mr. Gu?

Of course.

Send them away so I can rest.

Of course.

If you could all leave, please.

Yes, sure, we will.

Did you call the police?

Can you describe the attacker?

It'll get hazy after a while.

She told the detective already that she saw a tattoo.

A tattoo?

Yes. The man had a tattoo on his neck.

The scorpion tattoo.

It means that guy did everything.

Including murder.

- Murder? - The part-timer murder case.

He was caught on a nearby camera around the time of death.

Why would he attack you and then Jae In?

Chirp Chirp looked into the case to catch the real killer.

Something she tripped up on bothered the killer.

What about using you to hurt B and G?

I don't get the connection.

It's time to find out.

Are you okay?

Is it about that last time?

Don't talk nonsense.

Tae Rim.

Tae Rim. Tae Rim.

Oh, no. My gosh.

Tae Rim. Tae Rim.

Are you really sick? Or are you pretending?

I'm fine. Can't you tell?

I'm doing my best to stay when I want to go home.

Let's go.

I didn't ask for your help.

As if you would.

"We're all alone in life. Fight and win."

How can you say that when I'm being attacked?

- Don't you come close. - What?

Whatever happens to me, don't come close.

I won't.

I learned my lesson today.

Now that I know you'll never help me,

this feeling of strange fury rose up inside me.

I wanted to crush my attacker...

just to get to the one I want to...

- What did he say? - What?

What did he say as he strangled you?

Hey.

- Are you dating Jae In? - What?

You couldn't wait a few minutes for the elevator to come down,

and you took the stairs.

Running up the stairs is hard work unless you're really close.

I hate the stairs.

I ran upstairs because I needed to go to the toilet.

The toilet was right next to the elevators.

You tried to get close to her to spy on Tae Rim...

and fell into your own trap.

It's a common movie theme.

"The Spy Who Loved Me",

"Sleeping with the Enemy".

Would you like to have a drink with me?

Man to man.

Do you want my advice...

- on dating matters? - Not really.

No.

No. Why should I?

Lawyer Yoon.

What's the matter?

It's a conspiracy.

Why does this happen whenever I'm about to meet Wang Xin Yuan?

You're right. Something similar happened last time.

There must be a huge, massive force that wants to...

stop me from working with Wangmin Group.

Right, Mr. Gu?

You're not yet in your right mind.

Why don't you stay another night?

There are too many spirits here.

Here, there,

and up there.

You see spirits?

You bet.

Even spirits who have crossed over can't evade my eyesight.

A lady was standing right behind you, you know.

Oh, her?

Do you mean the long-haired woman who lay...

right beside you while you were in bed?

Why are you telling me that now?

Did you really see her?

I once studied the world of exorcisms.

Oh, that was a shadow.

- Mr. Gu. - I apologize.

Let's go.

Go to a better place.

Do you know how scared I was?

I feared the worst.

My heart pounded and my insides hurt.

I apologize.

Why should you apologize?

You did nothing wrong.

He ran away when I punched him.

Does nothing fear you?

This is so nice.

You silly thing.

Don't you miss your mom?

I don't remember much about her.

I just have a vague memory of how it used to feel...

whenever she gave me a warm hug.

So whenever I miss my mom,

I dry a cotton blanket under the sun until it becomes nice and smooth.

And if I hug that nice and tight,

it feels like I'm hugging my mom.

You know I think of you like my own daughter, right?

- Of course. - Are you sure?

You should act immature and whine sometimes.

You're overly polite these days, and it's making me feel upset.

Okay.

- Did it upset you that much? - My goodness.

This is why things get complicated when it comes to men and women.

Yes, you're right.

Once you fall for someone,

it becomes impossible to defend yourself properly.

Right.

Even if that other person is a gangster,

you can't help but fall for her.

But I can't really tell if I'm really interested in her...

or if I'm just bothered by her.

That's what you call love.

Gosh, no way.

That can't be right. You're taking things too far.

What's wrong with what I said?

I can't help but fall for her even though she's awfully violent.

If that's not love, what is?

For some weird reason, she keeps reminding me...

of how I used to feel back when I used to be in kindergarten.

Back when you were young?

Gosh, my heart.

Goodness.

My heart is all broken and withered.

Even if it's all crumpled and withered, it's still pretty.

Right?

Cheers to the rose.

Cheers to the rose.

- Lee Jong Mi. - What do you want?

How dare you show up here?

You little... What are you doing with a golf club?

- Let me go! - Hey!

Jong Mi.

Jong Mi. Jong Mi.

Is anybody there?

Help! My goodness.

Here's the judgment.

The defendant, Hyun Ji Sook,

is innocent.

The defendant...

did not intend on harming the opponent.

It was more of an act to protect herself.

And judging by the circumstances,

it is reasonable to say that the defendant found herself...

in a situation where she felt that her life was in danger.

And therefore, I announce that she is innocent.

Do you think I'm going to let this slide?

I will never forgive you.

Never.

Let's see who wins.

How could she be innocent when I almost died?

Can you please make them move somewhere else?

It's very hard to legally force them to move...

Yes, it's possible. I'll take the case.

Sir, she was already ruled innocent at a criminal trial.

So there's no way...

I'll do whatever I can, but just know that it's possible.

Not only will I make her move, but I'll also make her compensate.

I really hope you make that happen.

Sir! Sir!

Sir! Sir!

Are you okay?

You should've been careful.

It's dangerous to fall at an old age.

I fell because of you!

- What? - Why do you always show up...

every time I try to get changed?

Well, the thing is, Monster Pervert finally accepted a case.

He did? What case did he accept?

It's an absurd case. Look.

- Hurry up and gather a meeting! - Yes, sir.

Gosh, that little... Goodness.

Let's not take this case.

Why not?

We really shouldn't take this case.

I'm asking you why.

If he's scared to do it, I will.

There's a good reason.

What's this?

Monster Pervert, that jerk, always acts all high and mighty.

But he must've taken this case without even knowing...

that it'll only end up killing him.

Why will it end up killing him?

I don't get it.

You're right.

This is totally going to destroy him.

(Written Judgment)

It seemed weird that they ruled it as self-defense so easily.

You should tell her that you can't take the case.

It wasn't just a dispute between two neighbors.

My goodness. Their husbands' jobs...

How did they meet like this?

Not only will it be difficult to win the case,

but a lot of people in this field might turn their backs on you.

I personally don't think we should avoid cases like this.

"Birds of a feather flock together."

"Men are blind in their own causes."

"People always defend their family."

"Like draws to like."

"We're family." "One devil knows another."

"Connections are everything."

"Families always take care of each other."

I get what you mean, so you can stop.

Okay, then. You should let go of this.

Sir.

You should accept the case.

You can show them...

that the so-called custom is completely useless.

You'll end up regretting it no matter what.

We can worry about that later. Let's focus on the present for now.

Let's do this.

It's our first time we've come to a mutual understanding.

Now, put that bag down.

Let's begin.

Who would ever know that she has such a dark past?

She as a nice figure, and her personality is...

No, her personality isn't that great.

Anyway, she might not exactly meet my standards.

But I guess I should accept her.

Brother, are you asking me to give her this rose?

Yes.

I feel like I can finally talk to you now.

Let's make a promise...

Let's call this the oath of rose.

That's too weak.

The oath of rose!

The oath of rose!

(Kang Gi Seok)

Come in.

Gi Seok, did you go home safely that night?

Of course.

You didn't forget the oath of rose, did you?

Rose?

Oh, right. Of course, I didn't forget.

Please do me a favor.

Ju Kyung's having a meeting right now.

So send it to her office, okay?

Okay.

I'll also get going to fulfill my mission.

The oath of rose!

Did you forget?

Oh, right. No, I didn't forget.

The oath of rose!

- The oath. - That's right. I'll see you.

Rose?

Why do I have this?

You're working so hard.

What brings you here?

Did B and G take this case?

Gosh, what do you take me for?

Do you think I'm here to spy on you?

I'm not that shameless and petty.

Then what are you doing here?

I saw you here...

as I was walking by.

And I came inside because I was glad to see you.

I even visited you at the hospital that night. Do you remember?

Thank you for worrying about me.

I didn't mention it so that you'll thank me.

This is nice.

As your former co-worker,

I had to visit you in person...

to make sure you're okay after such a distressing incident.

Gosh, you startled me.

Seeing how you keep beating around the bush,

you must have a hidden agenda.

Who's this girl chiming in like this?

So what is it?

Cut to the chase already.

Since this already happened, I'll be honest with you.

That day at the hospital,

Mr. Kang acted so strangely.

Seeing that utterly broke my heart.

Why did he ask me to give this to her?

I'll just give it to her and leave.

(Lawyer Min Ju Kyung)

She loves me.

She doesn't love me.

Just like how monks cannot shave their own heads...

and how my brother-in-law is incapable of making arguments...

- She doesn't love me. - What do you say?

Let's help each other out.

So you're asking me to help you...

shave your head, right?

That's right.

Gosh, I refuse to help you.

Oh, no. I'm sorry. Your glass is empty.

I'll help you out.

Then I'll become Cupid targeting Seo Jae In,

and you, my brother,

will put in a good word for me with Ms. Min.

Nice.

Here comes my love arrow. Pow!

Ouch, that hurts.

Thank goodness you picked up, Mr. Yoon.

Hey, Mr. Kang.

About the promise we made at the bar last night,

let's cancel it.

Oh, no. I've already completed my mission.

What?

- Already? - I didn't expect that reaction.

I mean, Seo Jae In. She didn't cry,

but she seemed very touched.

Now, you just need to ask her out on a date.

If things go well and you two get married,

don't forget to buy me a suit.

What? Get married?

Now, it's your turn to keep your promise.

I'll be counting on you. The oath of rose.

Mr. Yoon. Wait, Mr. Yoon!

Gosh, what a disaster.

What's wrong? Did something happen?

Pardon? No, it's nothing.

So? Have you found a solution?

You took all this time to think, so I'm sure you have.

Sorry?

Oh, a solution?

"Oh"? Seriously?

Where's your head at? "Oh"?

Did you get a boyfriend or what?

Were you out on a childish date...

at an amusement park or movie theater,

trying to explore your innocence that doesn't exist?

Pardon? A date? No, that is not what happened.

I thought hard all day long to figure out a way...

we can win the trial.

And?

Pardon? Well, I haven't really...

Do you know who's the lawyer we'll be dealing with?

The highly-regarded presiding judge who was recently...

recruited by the biggest law firm in Korea.

It's Lawyer Gong Chang Rim.

Judge Gong?

I know him.

I took his lectures back at the judicial institute.

I bet you're finally getting a reality check and...

realizing that the wall of reality is a lot harder to break...

than a concrete wall built by 3,450 concrete mixer trucks.

What about you, then? Have you found a solution?

You egged me on, saying we must take on the case.

Where did your confidence go?

You decided to take it on because you were...

bewitched by all the cash. Are you not responsible at all?

Recite those martial arts jargons...

or flip through the channels all night long.

Was that an order?

Talk about a crocodile bird eating a crocodile...

and a cat being chased by a mouse.

Imagine all the water from Niagara Falls soaring through the sky...

and slapping a wild goose flying at 6,500m above sea level.

What you did makes less sense than what I just said.

It wasn't an order. I'm just frustrated, that's all.

Imagine a miner stuck in a pit at 1,780m below sea level,

a mom whose exam repeater son plays games for 7,560 hours straight,

and me, who has to put up with you for 5,430 days and 3 months.

Put all of that together, and you can understand how frustrated I am.

I must say, Ms. Seo is good enough to contend against you.

She's just a bird anyway.

Chirp Chirp. A parrot or mynah. Something like that.

Why doesn't our law allow the system to be implemented for civil trials?

- "The system"? - Yes.

There have been talks about implementing it, but...

Stop.

You've been learning from me, so you can now say a thing or two.

Are you thinking...

We have a request, Your Honor.

Go ahead.

We request a trial by jury for this case.

Look.

Don't you know it's not allowed for civil suits?

Like what the defendant's counsel just said, it's impossible.

You know that.

These are articles to be released tomorrow.

"Judge Versus Prosecutor."

"Will a Fair Trial Be Possible?"

"The Criminal Trial Shows Court Is Biased."

"Why Trial by Jury Is Needed."

What about it?

The husband of my client,

Ms. Lee Jong Mi, is a prosecutor.

And the husband of the defendant, Ms. Hyun Ji Sook,

is a judge, as you're well aware, Your Honor.

At the last criminal trial, the media...

didn't reveal any of these facts for some reason.

However, nothing stays secret forever.

But their husbands aren't the ones being tried.

Your Honor, I don't doubt your fair judgment and righteousness.

However, in cases like this,

people will say the court is biased if the verdict...

is in favor of the defendant,

and they'll also criticize the court for fearing...

the public if the verdict is in favor of the plaintiff.

In addition, you'll face internal pressure...

within the court in regard to the verdict.

He's insulting the court...

and threatening our justice department.

Do you really think so?

Your Honor, I'm telling you how you can save yourself...

from getting into a situation where there's no way out.

Various experiments are being done to civil cases these days.

Last December, the Ulsan District Court...

had jury trials for three civil cases.

I think it shows the court's effort...

to ensure a fairer way of enforcing the law.

Your Honor.

Must we keep listening to such nonsense?

Plaintiff's counsel, you may continue.

Thank you.

As I mentioned earlier, a trial by jury is...

absolutely necessary considering the specificity of this case.

I firmly trust that it'll lay the groundwork...

for further developing our justice system.

Then let me ask you a question as well.

How did you acquire those articles?

We received them from reporters we're close to.

He's lying. Isn't it obvious?

They deliberately leaked information to manipulate the media.

Your Honor, you cannot accept their request.

Defendant's counsel.

Are you giving me orders now?

Do you still think that I'm your subordinate?

No, it's not that. What I meant was...

The law must consider public sentiment as well.

We deem the request made by the plaintiff's counsel reasonable.

We'll notify you of our decision after careful consideration.

Mr. Go!

The decision has been made.

A trial by jury will be held.

Of course. What's with all the fuss?

I'll fix you a meal.

Mr. Gu, aren't you happy about it?

Congratulations.

It's good news. What's the matter with him?

Mr. Kang.

Do you want to get in for a few minutes?

I have to talk to you about something.

Mr. Kang looks like a smooth talker,

but he can't really say what's in his heart.

Having a crush for a long time can make you sick.

Lovesickness, you know.

- Well... - Well...

Can I go first?

I'm not sure what Mr. Yoon told you,

but please forget what he said.

I was cracking jokes, but he thought I was being serious.

Oh, I see.

So I guess you didn't actually run up the stairs at the hospital.

Oh, that.

That's... I hate waiting.

What's wrong with worrying about someone you know?

And we're friends.

Oh, right.

We are.

Did you come to see me because of that?

No, not really.

I was worried you might be scared of going home at night.

- As a friend. - I see.

Thank you.

Didn't this play at your friend's wedding reception?

I was definitely wearing a tie then.

Did you enjoy your friend's birthday party?

You bet. We even invited a rock band.

What?

A blind date?

No thanks. I'm seeing someone.

She just couldn't evade my charm.

I exude charm from every orifice.

Squirt, squirt.

What's your address?

I'll send you a wedding invitation.

Hey.

Hang up.

That's Dae Han.

Who's he meeting at this hour?

A woman? Is he cheating while my sister's away?

What is he up to?

[VIU Ver] jTBC E08 'Legal High' "The Oath of Rose" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

A scarf. It really is a woman.

He's having an affair.

Is that what you're up to, brother-in-law?

(Paju Warehouse Assault)

(Lawyer Min Ju Kyung)

This is the list of named suspects.

They were all acquitted.

A makeup artist?

Is this the smell of makeup?

Investigation Team?

Run someone's details for me.

Name, Na Cheol Jin.

Occupation, makeup artist.

(Seoul Northern Police Station)

Did you find out?

Let's get going first.

There are no leads or witnesses.

I was told it could likely end up a cold case.

It's been a few months already.

What about what Jae In found? The photo from the camera footage.

He didn't mention that at all.

It's like he didn't even know.

Did he see it but ignore it, or...

Do you suspect they're faking or hiding evidence?

No Gu Dong is still in charge, right?

Yes.

Since the person he framed was cleared,

he's having a tough time.

He lost face.

What did he say as he strangled you?

To not dig into the case.

The case?

I got the feeling he was threatening me because...

I was looking into Byung Tae's case.

Mr. Gu, stop Chirp Chirp from getting into trouble.

What exactly are you referring to?

She can only do what I tell her to do.

Just that.

(How to Steal a Person's Heart)

Hello, professor.

This evening?

What?

You can't come home early?

I'm shopping to make galbi stew, your favorite.

Okay. Let's eat together, however late.

Give me 600g of galbi.

Yes.

Pass on a message!

This is the last warning.

Am I their servant?

This really hurt my pride.

Judge Kang is family.

That's why they want us on it.

Lawyer Gong still thinks he's all that...

and showed off in court,

which upset others.

What should I do?

Should I refuse?

- Why not close the law firm? - What do you mean?

If Hankang Group, who gives half of our revenue,

stops working with us,

everyone will want to quit as well.

- That or... - Or?

You must quit.

This is crazy.

Okay, fine. Let's say you're right.

Kang Gi Seok?

We brought him on board to deal with Monster Pervert.

It's justifiable and even if things go wrong,

we can just let him go.

He's the one who said...

we shouldn't take the case. Would he want to take it?

He should do as I say.

I spent a fortune on him.

Why not...

Yoon Sang Koo?

No. I'll do it.

You? I can't let you do that.

You're our lead lawyer.

We'll be at a loss if you go down.

Tae Rim set a trap.

It's a jury trial.

That's why I'm saying I'll do it.

I have more experience with a jury...

than anyone in the firm.

I'm more into sales than being a court lawyer.

It won't be that much of a problem later on.

What should I do?

Will you really take it?

If we settle, which is the worst case scenario,

we can protect Judge Kang...

and our law firm's reputation won't take too bad of a hit.

Mr. Bang would've wanted me to take the case.

- Why did you volunteer? - Because I wanted to.

I'd been getting a bit bored.

I want to use my skills before I get too rusty.

Do I owe you?

No, not at all.

What's the matter?

You should be grinning...

and thinking the world is a beautiful place.

Yes, that's the look. The look of love.

Did you pass on the message about me?

Don't you usually drink until you black out?

Yes, I do, usually. But I was fine that day.

Is that the power of love?

(Lawyer Kang Gi Seok)

So, did you pass on the message?

- Not yet. - What?

Did you forget the oath of rose?

Or are you out because we solved your problem?

I'm waiting for the right time. Bear with me.

Ms. Min's busy preparing for court.

For court? Her? Why?

The jury trial.

The death trap we talked about?

Why her?

You're to work as a public defender.

Lawyer Choi will set it up.

Me? Why me?

Isn't that your specialty?

My specialty?

Is it golf? What is it?

Listen carefully. First, make eye contact with the jurors.

Second, provide anecdotes the jurors can sympathize with.

- What kind? - Anything will do.

You didn't hear the alarm and overslept.

You forgot your wallet and had to walk home.

Anything that will make you seem friendly.

"You're just human like me."

Make them think they can believe and trust you.

Trust?

Third. Before you say something important, you must...

pause.

Are you ready?

(Juror selection. Go Tae Rim versus Seo Jae In)

Watch carefully and learn.

(Go Tae Rim, Seo Jae In)

It seems like it's going to be hard to make eye contact.

You should move onto the next step.

You're not bad.

Okay, then.

Let's say you ran over to the bus stop...

because you're late for an appointment.

But imagine seeing your bus leave as soon as you get there.

Have you ever felt frustrated because of a situation like that?

- Have you? - I only ride motorcycles.

I normally take the subway.

Subways are the fastest way to get to an appointment.

My son gives me rides.

- I... - Have you experienced it?

Almost.

But the bus driver was kind enough to stop the bus and let me get on.

(Step 2: Make the jury sympathize with you.)

My job is a taxi driver.

(Go Tae Rim, Seo Jae In)

How does this make sense?

Are you saying you've never experienced something like that?

Really? Are you sure? Did it never happen to you?

Really? Not once?

Never, ma'am?

Please be honest with me. No?

Has it never happened to you? It's absurd.

- It makes no sense. - Sir.

It really makes no sense.

(Step 1: Make eye contact with the members of the jury.)

(Go Tae Rim, Seo Jae In)

Well, imagine that you're hiking.

You suddenly see a pretty flower, and you walk up to it.

But you accidentally slip and lose your consciousness.

When you wake up, there's a stream flowing right next to you.

And suddenly, a huge black bear stands up,

drinks water, hits its chest, and leaves.

That has happened to you, right?

Of course.

- What? - I was so startled that day.

I barely managed to get to my senses after I drank water.

What? That's happened to you before?

You actually saw a black bear? A black bear?

Yes, they have a mark on their chest.

I also stopped hiking ever since that happened to me.

On which mountain did you see a black bear?

The mountain that's behind my house.

It's not very high, but it has very deep forests.

You're talking about a sports park with exercise equipment.

My son barely managed to make the black bear...

go away.

There were trouts in that stream.

I should've caught one and had some sashimi.

(Step 2: Make the jury sympathize with you.)

This is the scar I got when I slipped and fell.

And I got this from the bear.

Okay, then. Thank you, everyone.

I hope you all have a safe trip home.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- Bye. - Bye.

- Call me when you need me again. - Sure.

Yes, this is Go Tae Rim Law Firm.

Mr. Go?

He's not in his office right now. I'm sorry.

I'll tell him you called.

Hello?

Goodness, you're Judge Choi.

He's outside at the moment.

Okay.

I finally understand...

what kind of a case this is.

Yes, of course. Don't worry.

We're nothing but supporters.

Ju Kyung will make sure the court doesn't suffer any damage.

And I assure you, Tae Rim...

also won't do anything to ruin his career. Yes.

Okay, then. Bye.

He's going to have to put his entire life at risk.

What are you going to do now, Monster Pervert?

It's finally time to show everyone what a true attorney can do.

Select the jurors first.

Watch and learn.

I'll show you how I pick out jurors that won't be of any help.

No, I'll do it.

I'm the one who came up with the idea for this trial.

And I also won the favors of the jurors.

So I think I'm more than qualified.

Are you on a high horse already just because of that one win?

But then again, it was nothing impressive.

You know how it's done, right?

Of course. I should ask them a question regarding the case...

There's no need to explain. I'll trust you with it.

Really? Thank you.

This is quite a scene.

A handsome man and a beautiful woman are walking side by side.

Someone should turn on some background music.

What are you saying?

No, it's nothing.

Don't tell me you're taking this lightly just because it's pro bono.

What do you take me for?

I worked hard three nights in a row.

Plus, this is my area of specialty.

You should do a good job with the small cases.

That's how Mr. Bang will start trusting you again.

I know that.

But shouldn't you be going that way?

I just wanted to walk with you.

If we were a team, we'd be invincible.

Do you think...

you can do this all by yourself?

Tell me if you need help.

I'll do everything I can to support you.

Focus on your own case, honey.

See you.

"Honey"?

"Honey"?

Gosh, Gi Seok... He must've told her how I feel.

I can't believe he just pretended like he didn't do anything.

Good luck to you too, honey.

- What? - What?

The attorney in charge has changed.

On top of that, it's...

Ms. Min.

I'm Min Ju Kyung from B and G Law Firm,

and I'll be representing the defendant starting from today.

The fact that you're here...

means Mr. Bang is either not in his right mind,

or he refused to take this case.

Did you forget? My major is psychology.

Why don't you start looking into your own self?

When you're up against someone unbeatable,

you can make yourself seem confident on the outside,

but you know that you're shaking with fear on the inside.

I'm not shaking.

The fact that you get angry easily over nothing...

is also a good example to prove that I'm right.

Did you have to be so mean? You two are acquainted.

Attack is the best defense. Do you not know that?

"Gambling is a social evil."

"Gambling is even more addictive than drugs."

"Gambling should be just for fun. One should not get addicted."

Yes, they're all correct.

However, there are some people like my client...

who unconsciously found themselves gambling...

just so they could forget about their despair and sense of loss.

And this is it.

Isn't that a hanafuda card?

This is not just a normal hanafuda card.

Do you see this?

The defendant had been raising two goats.

But she lost them three days ago...

because of a boar just like the one that's drawn on this card.

What are you trying to say?

She started playing hanafuda because she wanted to forget her loss.

But she was reminded of the boar...

The boar...

Counsel, would you like some time?

No, Your Honor. I'll continue.

The moment she saw the boar that killed both her goats,

the defendant would've felt utterly resentful.

Cut the nonsense! My gosh.

The moment I got three matches,

you purposely hid a card so that you could ruin the game.

You're such a liar.

Will you please stop? How many times have I told you?

I dropped it by mistake when I was shuffling cards.

- It was a mistake. - What? You dropped it?

My goodness.

Did your fingers break suddenly? Or did your palm get a hole?

Why did that red bush clover card come out of your underpants?

Underpants. It came out of her underpants.

Hey, are you done?

Why? Will you hit me like you did that time?

Calm down, everyone!

Defendant's counsel, go ahead.

Defendant Park Mal Nyeon didn't do it for money.

I strongly affirm that it was an act of vengeance...

caused by her sense of loss.

You find out that your friend or co-worker...

has been speaking ill of you, so you visit that person in anger.

But that person threatens you with a weapon.

What will you do if that happens to you?

Will you run away or fight?

- I'll fight. - It's wise to run away.

You must fight.

The person has no shame, so you must fight.

Why run away?

I'll ask you all a question.

Please raise your hand if you've ever had a dog.

What did she just say? Did I mishear her?

A dog?

Then do any of you have more than three siblings?

A dog and siblings?

Why are you conducting a family survey?

Chirp Chirp.

What was that about? Shih Tzu, poodles, the Maltese, the Chihuahua,

the Chow Chow, Schnauzers, the Shepherd,

the Pungsan, and the Korean Jindo.

Why didn't you ask about the breeds as well?

Should I have done that?

3 brothers and 1 sister? 4 sisters and 1 brother?

Why didn't you also ask about the order their siblings were born?

Is the age gap two years or just a year?

Were they coddled or spanked as kids?

You should've asked about that too.

I'll keep that in mind.

What on earth are you thinking?

Do you not understand what "jury selection" means, Chirp Chirp?

You should've asked questions to determine who can help us.

That's why I asked those questions.

I'll explain later. Let's go in.

Did I get slapped again just now?

The water from Niagara Falls slapped me again?

(Judge)

Ma'am, will you hide cards again?

My gosh, of course not.

Then you won't fight with your friends anymore either, right?

Sure thing.

Right?

Hey, I'll treat you to a bowl of galbitang later today.

(Plaintiff)

Your Honor.

We'll be on good terms from now on.

Good. Then I'll release you both now.

Get home safely.

(Plaintiff's Counsel, Plaintiff)

We won. We did it. We pulled it off, ma'am.

What are you talking about? What did you even do?

Who called this man?

All we did was play cards.

Why was he talking about some boars?

The government sent him to represent me.

All he did was talk nonsense.

I couldn't understand a thing he said.

- Goodness. Let's go. - Let's go.

Goodbye.

I'll just think that I heard you thanking me.

And just like that,

I won another case.

A sharp blade and sports equipment.

Which one of them should be considered a weapon?

But the verdict from the criminal trial was self-defense.

The victim, Ms. Lee Jong Mi, is being treated like the assailant.

Do you understand?

Even though she nearly lost her life.

(Presiding Judge Kim Sung Woo)

Presiding Judge Kim Sung Woo speaking.

Yes, sir. I was going through it just now.

His name is Go Tae Rim. He's one brazen fellow.

Still, he wouldn't shoot himself in the head, would he?

(Deputy Prosecutor Joo Tae Ho)

Yes, sir.

I'm keeping a watchful eye on him.

Even if he's a nobody,

he won't do that because he can at least think.

Yes, I'll keep monitoring him.

How did they arrive at such an unfair, biased verdict?

The answer is...

It's because Defendant Hyun Ji Sook's husband is a judge.

(Court)

Yes, go ahead.

So you're saying they arrived at such a verdict...

because the defendant's husband is a judge?

Correct. Otherwise, how can they rule it...

as self-defense when the victim ended up...

with a 1.3cm-deep cut on her side?

Shouldn't it have been ruled assault or bodily injury by negligence?

Therefore, the plaintiff requests...

200,000 dollars as compensation and treatment costs covered.

Also, how stressful and scary would it be...

to live right next door to someone who tried to kill you?

We request that the defendant move out of her current place.

That'd be all.

First of all, I'd like to let Ms. Lee know how sorry I am for her.

(Witness)

However, we cannot accept the plaintiff's requests.

She attacked the defendant first with a golf club.

The defendant, Ms. Hyun Ji Sook, was simply trying to defend herself.

It was acknowledged at the criminal trial.

They ruled it self-defense because her husband is a judge?

Then allow me to reveal something too. Ms. Lee's husband...

is a prosecutor.

If the fact that Ms. Hyun's husband is a judge...

affected the trial like the plaintiff's counsel is insisting,

the prosecutor in charge...

must've collected evidence and investigated...

people around the defendant and plaintiff.

Then couldn't he have kept evidence...

that would help the plaintiff and gotten rid of the rest?

However, I can say with full confidence that it did not happen.

The prosecutor investigated the case fairly,

and the judge made a fair decision.

Hence, bringing up their husbands' professions...

and causing a rift between the court and the prosecution...

just to question...

a verdict that has already been made is certainly inappropriate...

and should be considered biased, don't you think?

You've pushed enough, so don't cross the line.

Didn't you see the prosecution and court on edge about it?

Since when was there a line?

Where is it? Is it here?

Is it there or here?

- You know what I'm saying. - No, I'm not following at all.

I only think about winning.

Stop using their husbands' professions.

How about we focus on the case itself?

- For both of our sakes. - Don't make me repeat myself.

In order to win, I will use the professions of...

their fathers, grandfathers, and even distant relatives.

You got that?

You must know why this case is risky.

The more they try to press him down, the more he'd want to bounce up.

If those people had never entered the courtroom,

things wouldn't have gone totally astray.

Regardless of who wins,

please stop him if you care about him even just a little bit.

As for how to do that, I'm sure you know better than I do.

- See you. - Bye.

Ms. Seo, you did a good job earlier.

Mr. Kang.

Having many siblings means growing up in a competitive environment.

It also means they can empathize with feeling insecure or inferior.

And the fact that Ms. Lee's dog died recently...

would earn the pity of those...

who have had a dog in the past.

It wasn't direct, but it was very effective.

I'm flattered.

By the way, have you seen Mr. Go?

By now, the barricade is probably blocking him.

Pardon? "The barricade"?

Are you really going to keep this up?

Stop creating such a mess.

You'd better stop when we're telling you nicely, okay?

Why? Why must I stop?

Do you want to humiliate everyone in the legal circles?

Aren't you scared of the consequences?

You're a mere lawyer. Know your place!

Whether those in the legal circles are humiliated,

exposed, ruin their reputation,

or get bashed by the public,

I don't care at all.

I only think about winning.

So let's take this fight all the way to the end.

(Legal High)

You should all look forward to the results.

Hey, who do you think you're talking to?

You should learn your manners!

You should've tried your best to stop me.

There's a good reason why he must not take part in this trial.

You want to attend this trial on your own?

You want me to stay out of it?

You just lost your right.

Something's weird. It seems like he's crossing the line this time.

- You must find evidence... - Mr. Gu.

so that he wins this trial.

Okay, I'll win no matter what...

so that he'll stop calling me Chirp Chirp.

Is anyone home? Ma'am.

It reminds me of this case.

Five weeks in the hospital was considered self-defense?

This is practically over.

It seems like Monster Pervert got scared and is hiding somewhere.

(A post-credit scene will begin soon.)

Mr. Gu, why does my body feel so heavy?

Just a second.
