I thought over and over... if maybe everything was my fault.

I hate myself for thinking that...

and I wanted to die.

Please raise your head.

You didn't do anything wrong, Miss Kim Han Na.

I really didn't know it would get this big.

It's horrible to be in the same room with that man.

And I'm scared.

Counselor, do you have any questions for the witness?

I don't. I will ask my witness questions.

I see. Witness for the defense, please come forward.

Please introduce yourself.

I'm an assistant professor

in the business department of Seomyung University.

How do you know Kim Han Na?

I was a professor when Han Na was a student there.

She filed a suit against you for sexual assault then?

That's correct.

Did you stand trial?

I did not. She withdrew the charge as soon as I gave her a settlement.

No! There was no settlement!

Here is the account statement

with the settlement between the witness and Kim Han Na.

Objection! Counsel is distracting the court with an unrelated case.

The fact that there was another sexual assault case with Kim Han Na is

a very important point in this trial.

Counselor, you may continue.

Witness, in addition to the professor and student relationship

what was your relationship with Kim Han Na?

We were in a romantic relationship.

So, Kim Han Na accused her boyfriend of sexual assault?

Yes.

You hid that you were married! You played me!

Your Honor, I really loved him...

but I was so upset that he lied to me.

That's why I filed the suit!

Calm down.

Who brought up the settlement money first?

It was Han Na.

Han Na demanded money.

The life of a hard-working man who devoted himself

to his family and his work is at stake in this trial.

A man's life shouldn't be destroyed

because of a woman

who has made false sexual assault claims in the past.

That's all I have.

Not bad.

[Episode 6]

Seo Jin Woo, why did you take this case?

Don't you know who owns Ilho Life?

Because the Vice President chose me.

What?

Even if the client committed a crime, a lawyer is obligated to defend his client.

There is no other reason.

If something like that happened, you should've told me.

It was over already.

He said he could never teach again if he was convicted of sexual assault...

I withdrew the suit because he begged me over and over.

- What about the settlement? - It wasn't a settlement!

He felt bad about hiding the fact that he was married

so he sent it to me as an apology.

Your testimony is all we have in this trial.

But if we get ambushed like this

it's hard for me to carry on.

[Evidence of Illegal Gambling Site Usage]

Let me ask you a question. How did you know?

The building after making two turns from the market alley in Yeomsu-dong...

You used to go to that gambling house four years ago, right?

I even remember what you were wearing then...

but that's not important.

Leave. We'll never see each other again.

You also have a 100 percent success rate?

You're very much like me.

Am I?

Why did you take on this trial?

These sexual assault cases...

If someone gets a guilty verdict because of bad luck with his attorney

his life will be over.

I won't let that happen to my client.

Use those sales comments when you're entertaining your clients.

Tell me the facts.

You became a lawyer because of your father.

To save your father, you need to find the real culprit.

Did you take on this trial to get to Nam Gyu Man?

Do you need any other reason?

All right... You're eating so well, my puppy.

When you mess up your trial again, come back here and stuff yourself.

- Sir! - What?

I heard you got crushed by a young attorney today.

Team Korea has won!

In Ah, in baseball...

it's not important to win for a long time.

All you need is one win at the end.

If you win the ninth inning, you own the whole game.

Forget how you got crushed today. Prepare for the next trial.

You should win then.

Don't create an occasion to come back here for more rice and soup.

Hello?

Yes, I understand. Yes.

- We need to go up. - Who is it?

A newly appointed chief prosecutor.

Were you looking for us?

Regarding the murder case of Oh Jung Ah that occurred on November 2, 2011

we believe the defendant, Seo Jae Hyuk, is guilty of rape and murder.

Prosecutor In Ah, what are you doing?

He is Chief Prosecutor Hong Moo Seok, newly assigned to this office.

I am Prosecutor Lee In Ah.

Are you new? You must be working hard with such passion right now.

Yes.

Why don't we eat together sometime and catch up?

I'm sure we can catch up anytime. I've gotten a lot of work recently.

You're famous in this field for getting a lot of work, Prosecutor Tak.

With just as many not guilty verdicts as cases.

It's been a while since we worked on the same team...

I trust that you will be good and follow my lead.

Yes.

I hope we will get along, Prosecutor Lee.

Manager, please check on the contact info of the defendant's counsel.

Yes, Prosecutor.

How have you been?

If I had known that you had become a lawyer, I would have looked for you.

If you called me to chit chat, I'll leave.

Jin Woo...

It's very uncomfortable for a defense counselor

to sit with the prosecutor.

- See you in court. - You...

Are you the Jin Woo that I used to know?

Back then...

do you remember what you said to me?

The truth wins over the facts.

No. Now I know that truth is also relative.

And because it's relative...

I will always stand on the winning side of the truth.

We have a new chief prosecutor...

It's Hong Moo Seok.

I... never forgot about your father's trial four years ago.

That's... what I wanted to tell you.

- Eat slowly! - You've had enough! You'll get fat!

- Hi, Attorney Seo. - Hi!

Kim Han Na's testimony was enough to cause reasonable doubt

so the prosecutor will try to find concrete evidence.

For example?

A video of the sexual assault taking place.

Security camera recordings were not on the list of admissible evidence.

And nothing was recorded in the defective black box of the Vice President's car.

It could've been recorded by other cars parked in the lot at the time.

The prosecutor must be looking for it.

Find the vehicle record of the parking lot for the day of the crime.

We have to find any videos that may have recorded the crime scene.

That will take a long time.

Since it will take so much time, you should leave now.

Finish your ramen when you come back.

Fighting!

I can't even eat my ramen!

I'll be back. See you later!

[Daughter of Chairman Nam Il Ho, Nam Yeo Gyeong, Appointed as Prosecutor]

Prosecutor Nam Yeo Gyeong?

She's Nam Gyu Man's younger sister?

Chairman Nam Il Ho's precious baby daughter.

Yes.

Aren't you in over your head?

Still, Nam Yeo Gyeong is the surest, fastest way to get info on Nam Gyu Man.

To take one step each day...

I don't have much time.

You're here too?

Here.

Attorney Park...

Do you think the Vice President will win this trial?

We still have two sessions left.

Unless some evidence that will flip the trial comes out, that's what will happen.

It doesn't seem like a picture that Gyu Man wants.

We can't let the Vice President win the trial, can we, President Seok?

Of course not.

Proceed with the plan. You can explain it to Attorney Park.

Proceed with him.

We'll take care of it per your directions, sir.

When did Chairman Nam get involved in the Vice President's case?

- From the beginning. - Then...

Are you saying that Chairman Nam created the case against the Vice President?

I believe that is what happened.

Anything that becomes a nuisance to his son or his son's future...

He has been eliminating them with no mercy.

That's Chairman Nam Il Ho.

Why did you hide from me... that you were also involved?

Why do you think Nam Il Ho did this without telling his son?

He can't allow any harm to come to his son.

I feel the same way. That's why I didn't tell you.

Boss...

It took you so much to get here!

I can't stand to see you get hurt!

What's the next step that Chairman Nam mentioned?

There is sure evidence that can't be denied.

[Lee In Ah]

Get over here right now.

- Have you been drinking? - Yes I have.

Are you interrogating me?

Where are you?

Just get over here. You talk too much.

Ma'am, give me one more bottle of soju.

Hey you... selfie stick!

The girl has a bigger face than the guy.

You can hide it like this.

Hey, what the heck? What's with this drunken nonsense?

Excuse me... I'm sorry.

To be honest...

What the heck am I doing here on Christmas?

Seo Jin Woo!

Does it look like I had an easy time becoming a prosecutor?

You're really smart... You remember everything once you see it once.

It must've been really easy for you to pass the bar exam.

But that's not me.

I saw it 10 times, 30 times...

That's how I studied.

Stop. You've had enough.

Let go.

How can you possibly think to defend Ilho Group?

What about your father?

What? Win with the truth?

Hey! Are you Park Dong Ho?

You should speak in some dialect, too.

I'm getting a buzz.

Get up.

Do you know why I became a prosecutor?

I wanted to fight for your father, who was wronged.

I wanted to fight for him instead of you!

So... why do we have to fight? Why?

Thank you for coming back, Jin Woo.

It's so cold!

Look at that guy. He's so strong.

Dad... Isn't that In Ah?

What?

Hey, In Ah!

- My goodness! - In Ah!

- In Ah! - In Ah!

She reeks of alcohol.

Hello, Sir.

Jin Woo! You're Jin Woo, right?

My goodness! You are Jin Woo!

We should go for a third round.

For the third round... that chick...

- There is pizza... - You ate enough.

Why did you drink so much?

She's my daughter, but she's really heavy.

I thought she was quiet for a while.

She has no time for blind dates, but she has time to drink that much?

- So, you became a lawyer? - Yes.

That's great!

My In Ah became a prosecutor.

That prosecutor, prosecutor...

How is your father's health?

He's doing well.

My In Ah became a completely different person after your father's trial.

That's what led her to became a prosecutor.

Why do you say it like that?

Cool! It's so cool!

Awesome!

Ta da!

- Hey, hey... put it here, right here. - Here?

- Now... - Now...

Don't you have a girl to meet up with on Christmas Eve?

Dad, you don't think I do? I'm really popular!

Sure, is that why you're here with me?

I'm just worried that my single dad might be lonely.

Hey, let's not do this by ourselves next year.

I'm doing just fine. You should work on it, Dad.

Dad, let's blow out the candles.

- One, two, three! - One, two, three!

Merry Merry Christmas!

Have the chicken before it gets cold.

I...

Until I can come back with you, Dad...

I will never come back here.

Hello. I'm Seo Jae Hyuk.

You must be my lawyer.

But you're much younger than I expected.

This...

Is this someone's ring? It's very pretty.

This is what you gave to Mom when you proposed to her.

Look closely.

Oh, it must be your mother's ring.

Your father must've been very careful about selecting this.

Dad...

Take a close look at me.

I'm Jin Woo. Your son, Seo Jin Woo.

Please take a careful look...

I'm your son, Jin Woo. Dad...

Counselor, you are here for the wrong person.

I... don't have a son.

Dad...

Name, Seo Jin Woo. He passed the bar as soon as he dropped out of high school.

He became the youngest attorney in Korea at the age of 22.

He has only has his attorney pin for about a year.

But he's been doing pretty well.

More than anything, he has one special talent.

What talent does he have?

He has good memory.

I thought he had some laser shooting out of his eyes.

So he has good memory, so what?

It's not ordinary memory.

It's absolute memory. He remembers everything once he sees something.

He was able to become a lawyer at such a young age thanks to perfect memory.

From what I hear

he's preparing for an appeal in the case

of the murdered college student in Seochon.

It looks like he's also meeting with related parties.

How is Seo Jae Hyuk's condition? He has Alzheimer's, right?

He can't even recognize his own son. I don't think you need to be worried.

The father can't remember anything, but the son remembers too much?

Interesting. This is not a sitcom or something...

A fly is bothering a lot of people.

If you just let it, it'll drop dead soon anyway.

Boss, were you looking for me?

Keep an eye on Jin Woo.

Until the trial is over.

I got it.

You must be busy working for the country, so when did you have time to paint?

I did once in a while, but I haven't painted much recently because of work.

I'd like to hang your art in my house. Can we work that out?

Excuse me for a moment.

You've been staring at this painting for a while.

I feel such deep sadness in that deep blue color.

Sadness?

"She has been my lifelong painting."

That's what Chagall said when the woman he truly loved died.

Chagall also fell into depression and primarily used blue in his paintings.

- It was great to see your art. - Thank you. See you again.

Since when did you know each other?

If President Nam Gyu Man found out, he'd be shocked.

The reason you took the Vice President's trial...

Did you think I wouldn't know?

The Vice President managed money for a long time under Chairman Nam.

Whether the company is big or small

the one who manages the money knows the most about company secrets.

I'm sure you asked for the company's slush fund book

instead of your attorney fee.

What? Are you afraid?

After Nam Gyu Man, you're next.

I believe that our contract is not yet finished.

I mean it.

But, Jin Woo... Don't cross that line anymore.

- This is a warning. - The contract is already over.

I regret like crazy that I ever trusted you.

A rookie prosecutor, Lee In Ah, is on the Vice President's trial?

Yes. I believe she volunteered for the case.

To establish a clean, trustworthy image for Ilho Life...

we spend billions in advertising every year.

I'd like you to end this quickly so the media stops talking about it.

You have a lot of prosecutors who are more capable.

Of course.

You're not asking me to throw a case.

You just want proper punishment for someone who committed a crime.

That's our job.

I'll assign a new prosecutor right away.

Seok Gyu!

Do I have to call you two, or three times to see you?

- It's been a long time. - Have a seat.

- Hey, Soo Beom! - It's been a while, Seok Gyu.

It can't be same as when we were in school together.

I'm sorry.

Soo Beom, you look like you lost more weight.

Me?

It's probably just how you feel. Anyway--

I already heard about it.

You're on the trial for our Vice President.

Gyu Man, if you called me to ask for a favor for that trial...

Hey, hey, hey...

I'm Nam Gyu Man. President Nam Gyu Man of Ilho Life.

Even if I used some tricks, it would be on someone way above you.

When I meet with you two... I want to see you without any tension.

Yes, let's meet up without any tension. Do whatever you want with the verdict.

Have a drink.

Seok Gyu, are you still not seeing anyone?

I would think that girls would be lined up to date you since you're a judge.

To be honest...

there is someone I keep thinking about.

Yeo Gyeong would be disappointed if she heard that.

Yeo Gyeong is just like my sister.

Let's just drink.

Prosecutor Lee.

Do you like coffee?

You know that I'm a prosecutor in your trial, right?

Isn't it hard to prepare a trial for a sexual assault case?

Still, it's nothing compared to the pain that the victim must be going through.

Two years ago

I had a trial for a sexual assault suit that a female executive of a conglomerate

filed against her staff.

- Was it a guilty verdict? - Yes.

But the male offender committed suicide soon after.

Pardon?

In fact, they had had a consensual relationship.

She was afraid that it would have a negative impact

on her promotion if the rumor spread.

So she sued him for sexual assault.

I will use the most concrete evidence as the basis for a verdict on this trial.

I'd like to prevent any wrongful punishment because of my judgment.

So cold! So cold!

You're making such a big deal out of it.

Really!

Did you find any videos from a black box?

I'm going through vehicles on the parking lot record

but I haven't found any yet.

But there are so many cars.

It's important, so please keep looking.

Okay.

Hand over the documents on Ilho Life's Vice President's case today

- and remove yourself from the trial. - I can't do that.

And there is no reason for it either.

Since you're new, you don't seem to understand the situation yet.

I can't just sit back and watch the rate of not guilty verdicts go up.

A new prosecutor will be assigned today.

And I will give you an easy case, Prosecutor Lee.

Prosecutor, we received a tip about a black box.

If I can't reverse the outlook today, I will remove myself from the trial.

I will win this trial.

It was on the parking lot list

but they couldn't find the vehicle.

The informant called after watching the news?

Yes.

Speed up. We have to get this black box today.

Yes, Prosecutor.

I looked through the video just in case after watching the news about the trial.

I checked since it was parked in that building.

Thank you for this.

- Can we check this right now? - Yes.

Attorney Seo...

Did my family leave?

Yes.

Your wife was very worried about you.

When I was first arrested...

I was just taken aback and I thought I'd get out soon.

Because I didn't do anything wrong.

But when I saw that video earlier...

regardless of my belief...

Did I actually do something so horrible?

Since then, I've become afraid of myself.

You can't let yourself get caught up in what's going on in a case like this.

Until the judge reads the final verdict

you are innocent.

Attorney Seo...

I am not afraid of the company or anyone in the world right now.

But I'm most afraid of my wife and my daughter.

I'm afraid that they'll look at me like a worm now.

That they will leave me.

Are you Mr. Kim Jong In?

Is my daughter doing well?

Yes.

She graduated from college recently and now she's working for a big company.

I see, she grew up well.

Why... are you not going back to your family?

I am a sinner.

Since that day I ran away alone at night after my company went bankrupt.

So how could I go back to my family at this point?

Don't you... miss your daughter?

I have a dream every night...

I remember... when I was with my family.

I want to recreate that good memory.

So I'm doing my best with my life although it's tough.

Dad, try this.

Right?

Please tell my daughter...

that her father... is very sorry for not being with her.

Sorry...

Yes, ma'am. This is Attorney Seo Jin Woo.

I'd like to ask you a question.

Locate the black box information right now.

What? Why?

That video is fake.

And the informant is the key to this case.

What?

Let's go.

Sir! Sir!

- I brought money! Please, Mister! - Go away!

Boss, the way it looks right now...

It looks like Jin Woo will pick a big fight.

Got it.

- Good job. - Thank you, Boss.

The trial will be over tomorrow.

Once things quiet down, we'll contact you.

Thank you, Boss.

Jin Woo... I warned you.

Let go! Let go!

That's enough.

Forget about catching Nam Gyu Man.

Do you understand?

Son of a bitch.

Your mother's surgery went well. So you don't need to worry.

Thank you! Thank you so much!

Mom, it was really tough, wasn't it?

You're good now. It's over.

I met with your father, Miss Kim Han Na.

Your father really wanted me to tell you this.

"I'm really sorry that I can't be with you."

And? And what do you really want to say to me?

There is nothing more painful for a child than not having a father by her side.

I'm sure you know that better than anyone else.

I hope your mother recovers soon.

I mean it.

But you're taking away someone else's father right now.

Don't forget that.

Dad, it is the last session of the Vice President's trial today.

I'm nervous.

I'll see it for myself and raise an objection if I see any issue!

Now that the video of the crime is out...

the Vice President has gone too far to come back to his place.

Dad!

I worked so hard to grow and protect the company!

Who is he to throw ash on my face?

[Vice President Nominee List] I narrowed down the final list.

Which one of these will listen to me the best?

Director Lee Young Ho.

He'll crawl if you tell him to crawl, or he'll roll over and play dead.

Really?

- What about Attorney Park? - He went to the court.

He'll tell us once the verdict is out.

Get out.

It's me. What are you doing tonight?

Come out. Let's go have a drink.

Why? What's going on?

Today is the day that the Vice President gets smothered.

[Seoul Central District Court]

Once he finds me guilty...

my understanding is that I'll be imprisoned right away.

Yes, you're right.

Can you deliver this letter to my family?

Even if everyone in the world curses at me...

I want her to believe in her father.

You will not lose the trial.

Give it to her yourself.

We will begin the final session.

Pause right here.

This is the evidence from a black box submitted by the prosecution.

If you look at the screen...

This man is not wearing a ring.

But the defendant has not taken off his ring since he got married.

At the time the defendant was arrested

a list of his belongings was recorded at the police station.

If you look at the list, you will see his ring listed.

But as you can see

the man in this video is not wearing a ring.

Have you considered that the defendant could have taken off his ring

and put it in his pocket out of guilt?

What is the intention of the counselor's statement?

Are you saying that the evidence submitted by the prosecutor is fake?

Yes. The man in the black box video is not the defendant.

If he's not the defendant

are you saying that I used a stand-in and created a fake video?

You were handed a fake video as evidence.

I request Kim Han Na as a witness to confirm the authenticity of the video.

Witness, your internship will be over in a month, right?

And you haven't found a new job yet.

Yes.

Recently, there was a theft in the private dorm you live in, right?

The counselor is delaying the trial by asking unrelated questions.

Counselor, ask only necessary questions.

The witness had all the money she saved for her mother's surgery stolen recently.

But her mother surgery for stomach cancer yesterday.

Did your mother's surgery go well?

Is it a difficult question?

I asked, if your mother's surgery went well.

Yes.

Even if you had saved your paycheck for nine months and not spent a dime of it

it couldn't have been enough.

Where did you get the money all of a sudden?

Never mind the surgery, you didn't have enough money for the inpatient treatment.

You haven't even paid back half of your tuition loan!

And you couldn't get an additional loan!

I'll ask you again.

Where did you get the money?

Didn't you use the Vice President because you needed money?

Objection!

The counselor is badgering the witness with unrelated questions.

Counselor, you've been warned.

What would your mother tell you if she saw you now?

- Objection! - That's enough, Counselor!

Would your mother want surgery at this cost?

- Counselor! - Miss Kim Han Na!

Is the man in the video really the Vice President?

Answer me!

The Vice President...

he didn't do anything wrong.

He didn't do anything to me.

I'm sorry. I... really...

This was the only way.

[Seoul Central District Court]

Kim Han Na couldn't have done this alone.

That has nothing to do with me.

I proved my cilent's innocence.

My job is done.

It's your job to figure out who's behind this.

You're the prosecutor.

Attorney Seo Jin Woo!

I didn't know you were the defense counselor for our Vice President.

But your face...

It's no big deal.

Thank you for doing a great job of defending him today.

I'd like to buy you a drink to thank you. What do you think?

Sure.

Vice President Kang of Ilho Life was found not guilty in the trial

where he was charged for sexual assault of his female staff.

Kang was accused of taking a female employee to his car--

I am so sorry, Chairman.

There won't be any stain getting on Gyu Man's clothes?

You don't need to worry.

It ends with Attorney Park and me.

Tell me again.

The Vice President was found not guilty.

Who... caused this?

Bring that attorney bastard in front of me right now.

Bring him right now! Right now!

Gyu Man!

What the heck is this?

President Nam Gyu Man...

You know me, don't you?

Gyu Man, who is he?

I'm Seo Jin Woo. I defended the Vice President.

I heard about the trial.

You're so young, but you must be really good.

Or are you lucky?

That's a compliment.

Age doesn't matter in court.

Thanks to this guy, our company image has been saved.

So, how should I thank you?

Should I give him a position in the company law firm?

Thank you for your kind gesture

but I have my own law firm.

President Nam, you've had a lot to drink. Why don't we end the night here?

Shall we go?

Sure.

President Nam Gyu Man...

It's been four years...

I'm a little disappointed that you're leaving already.

If you want to see me that much...

come to my office sometime.

Next time, we'll see each other in court.

Because... I'll bring you to trial.
