[Episode 11]

Dad!

No, Dad! My dad...

Dad!

- Who are you? - Why are you doing this, Dad? It's me!

My son?

Yes, Dad...

Don't cry. It's okay.

- I became a lawyer. - What?

Dad, how could you leave like this? How could you...

How could you leave like this?

Dad... you don't have to be in pain anymore.

I'm not done yet.

Regardless of what it takes...

I will prove your innocence.

I... really will.

So watch over me.

[One month later]

I'm sorry about your father.

Sorry...

It won't be much longer for the bastard who made you give false testimony.

He will soon become like you.

What? Will you take your revenge on him?

If you are considering it at all, give up.

Even if a hundred lawyers like you go after him

they won't even be able to scratch him.

You got two years for perjury?

With the additional penalty, you will be in there for at least 30 years.

The investigation of your illegal activities has started.

What... the heck did you do?

I needed your testimony at the retrial.

Now you've become useless, you should get your punishment.

Think carefully about what you did wrong.

As you see people pointing fingers at you...

and as your life turns rotten.

Seo Jin Woo!

What the heck did you do? Hey!

Hey! Seo Jin Woo! Let go! Let go!

[Suspect 4, Lee Jung Hoon.]

[Assistant Hospital Director, Father's physician.]

[Hongsung Correctional Facility Age 58, Park Dong Jin]

[Hongsung Correctional Facility Age 58, Park Dong Jin]

You reported me, didn't you? It was you!

You bastard!

I'd like to request a special visit for our Chairman.

Of course. Tell him to have a good time with his family and come back.

As a a physician of a correctional facility

he has received a lot of money for arranging private rooms

suspended sentences, and parole.

He is evil.

[Improper Use of Suspended Execution of Sentence]

Why would you give this to me?

Judge Kang Seok Gyu...

Son of a human rights lawyer

a judge with a strong sense of impartiality and justice.

Do you need another reason?

Although my father passed away

I really appreciate that you approved his retrial.

[Hongsung Correctional Facility Age 58, Park Dong Jin]

[Fancy Japanese restaurant]

- Hello! - Long time no see.

Please.

Isn't that illegally obtained evidence?

You should throw it out! Why did you bring it to the courtroom?

Your Honor, the Counselor's statement is in contempt of court!

Please strike it from the record right now!

Contempt? You're the one in contempt of court!

There was no collusion for the bidding in 2015

and we didn't break the Framework Act of the Construction Industry!

Those are the facts.

Counselor, are you trying to hide the obvious?

Counselors! I am warning both of you.

If you are not careful, I will have you removed from the court.

We make a surprisingly good team.

Since we are on the same boat, we should paddle in the same direction.

If we can be a good team, a trial is just like a game.

To be on the same team as you is like gaining a thousand soldiers.

You know I used to have a 100 percent success rate, then it dropped.

You have to help me a lot so that I can recover.

Let's do some good work.

I've heard that since you became the President of Ilho Group

that business is expanding to areas of culture and distribution.

Do you have a secret strategy for daily business growth?

Well, there is no secret...

It's just my... How should I say this...

Shall I say, business insight?

I just feel it right away.

If I say it that way, it may sound arrogant.

Not at all. I also heard that you get a direct report on client complaints

and direct the solution yourself. You must be very detail oriented.

Our Chairman has always told me that we are all a family.

From the customers who buy our products

to the subcontractors who work with us

they are all part of Ilho's family.

Without them, Ilho Group wouldn't exist.

Thank you for your time today. We will make a good program.

Thank you. Be careful on your way.

Be careful on your way.

Please make a good program with nice pictures.

Please show them out. Take care!

What happened to the trial between Attorney Park and Prosecutor Hong?

Now we will win every trial against our company. 100 out of 100!

They are a match made in Heaven!

You look like you're in a really good mood today.

Tell Seok Gyu to have a drink with us soon.

Okay!

Okay?

Your English got better.

Thank you.

[Trusted Ilho Group. Sea of tears from bitter grief]

[We demand the truth.]

[Trusted Ilho Group. Sea of tears from bitter grief.]

[Reveal the truth]

Oh?

What brings you here? I didn't call you.

- Did you call him? - No.

President Nam, I came to report to you since the trial is over.

The money that was going to be lost to a fine is safe now.

- Have a seat. - Yes.

I already heard that you did a very good job.

I had a headache because of that trial.

By the way, do you not see Seo Jin Woo these days?

My goodness!

Since you came to the internal part of Ilho

workload in the legal counsel team has increased a lot.

I knock out over 20 prosecutors and judges in a month!

As long as I am around, just worry about big matters going forward, President.

I will. You may leave.

Then I'll excuse myself.

Sang Ho.

Work hard.

Attorney Park has changed.

He completed his calculations.

But since he betrayed me once, he'll do it twice.

- Keep an eye on him. - But he works for you--

Hey. Lower the head.

Say it again.

He did it for you, but you were holding a grudge...

I can't trust myself either.

People can't be trusted to begin with.

How long will you avoid In Ah?

She quit her job as a prosecutor and left home on her own.

Why would I see her?

In Ah thought hard and made the choice.

Let it go already.

I'm doing this for In Ah's success.

What parent would be happy when her child takes a wrong path?

Honey...

It's been a month since In Ah left home. Aren't you worried about her?

I'm glad that she left. She was a troublemaker.

Even when I wipe it down, it doesn't show.

[text]

[The police should investigate Ilho Group now!]

Pathetic bastards.

[text]

Father! Father!

Let go of him!

- Let go! - Excuse me. Leave him.

The microwave exploded because of our bulb?

Because of your lawsuit, we shut our doors!

The fault will determined at the trial.

Chairman, this is really unfair.

I didn't make bad bulbs!

Please! Please withdraw your lawsuit, Chairman!

Chairman, I'm begging you.

Let go! Let go!

Please, Father.

- Let go of me! Chairman! - Father!

Chairman!

How do you manage subcontractors?

It's not a big deal, Father.

I will follow the legal procedure, but they're overreacting.

You have to nip it in the bud if a subcontractor doesn't listen.

Of course. There are more than a few subcontractors who want to work with us.

Don't worry.

You're not a president of an individual company anymore.

You're the face of Ilho.

Yes, I understand.

[Outskirts Law Firm]

Ma'am.

Please come in. She'll be here soon.

Don't tell In Ah that I came by.

Please give her this.

I'm sorry.

I'll send her back home soon.

Eat up.

Seo Jin Woo, you make a mean ramen.

This tastes like my mom's kimchi.

Did my mom come by?

She's very worried about you.

Why don't you move back home?

I should.

But...

I want to give my business card to Mom with pride.

I'm still a rookie attorney.

[Please protect Smile Bulb!]

[Don't let it be sacrificed by an illegal lawsuit and unfair responsibility]

He's still there.

He's the son of the President of Smile Bulb...

Boss!

Since the bulb factory shut down after three generations of business

your father must be very upset.

I'm sure he'll be a big help.

This is the only attorney who will take on this trial at this point.

Take good care of your father!

Boss, you're so cool!

[Outskirts Law Firm Attorney Seo Jin Woo]

Yes?

Were you looking for me?

You're leading Director Kim's assault case at Jinyoung Trading, right?

- Yes. - Close it due to lack of evidence.

I already secured everything, from witnesses to evidence.

The reasons for Director Kim's indictment are clear.

What's clearer is that you report to me.

Are you being a shield for Ilho Group again?

Think simple.

Don't get nosy like Lee In Ah and dig your own grave.

You may leave.

My goodness, Detective Bae!

What is this about?

I have something to tell you, Attorney Park.

What is it?

The truck accident in Yongin...

You said the offender was your father, right?

Is there a problem?

Well...

It bothers me that you work at Ilho Law Firm.

Before your father had the accident

he told me about Nam Il Ho.

Nam Il Ho rushed to wrap up the case quickly.

Excuse me.

- Is Attorney Seo Jin Woo here? - He's not in right now.

- Are you here for a consultation? - Yes.

Attorney Seo Jin Woo is a little busy...

It has to be Attorney Seo Jin Woo.

Since we got the signature through the last report, starting tomorrow...

Fancy meeting you here.

Is this a coincidence?

Detective Gwak...

are you on a new client again?

Go ahead.

For a rookie, you're having a tough time.

Should I drop off some big cases for you?

I thought I'd warn you.

That's not it.

A tip! Should I call it that?

Those you betrayed can always come back to haunt you.

Even after two trials

you still haven't gotten the hang of it?

Do you think you can even step on President Nam Gyu Man's shadow?

There is nothing you can do on your own.

You'll hear good news soon.

Is this the right room?

I'm sorry.

What took you so long?

Who was that guy? He is a lawyer?

Lawyer, my ass...

He doesn't know his place and jumps around.

You don't need to worry.

The office is cute.

Prosecutor Tak.

Hey, since you're so stubborn, I give in!

Since you came by, I looked through Hong Moo Seok's cases.

You wanted to reinvestigate

the murder case of the female college student in Seochon, right?

Yes.

Hong Moo Seok was also in charge of the suicide case of Oh Jung Ah's father.

[Suicide Case of Oh Sung Taek of Chungwoon-dong]

[Autopsy Report]

You received a call from Prosecutor Tak Yeong Jin, right?

Yes.

I'd like to look at the evidence. The documents and investigation reports.

This was wrapped up as a typical suicide case.

There was also a suicide note.

Can I look at the note again?

[Unregistered Rental Car Scam Report]

We conducted an investigation to find out about deep relationships

with brokers in the metropolitan area.

But we found no evidence pointing to Ham Ji Seok in our investigation.

Excuse me! Excuse me!

We have sure evidence here.

Chief, I'm sure you will want to see this too.

Get him out of here now!

- Sir, this! - Wait.

Who are you to make a scene like this?

- I am Attorney Seo Jin Woo. - Attorney?

All right, open it. Let me see if it's worthwhile.

Take a look.

Here.

This smells different.

Once the investigation is over, I'll give you the rest.

We've worked together plenty of times.

We should be accurate with regards to the money.

Detective Gwak, I always take care of you.

Do you have a strong backer?

You know President Nam Gyu Man of Ilho Group, right?

I'm riding on his coattails.

President Nam Gyu Man... with the short temper?

Short temper?

He's just a rich loser with anger management issues.

Detective Gwak...

I will deposit the remaining balance by tomorrow.

Sure, sure.

Check the facts and report back to me. Now!

Yes, I'm on it.

There is a verse in the Bible...

"Your sin will find you out."

Seo Jin Woo, you bastard...

Answer the phone. You don't need to be polite in front of me.

It's probably about how people barged into your office.

I figured this video would not be enough.

I threw out some bait and they bit right away.

Sir, Internal Affairs just barged in.

President Nam, it's me.

[Oh Sung Taek]

[My Dearest Daughter, Jung Ah...]

[I'm still so angry. I can still clearly imagine your face.]

[Handwriting Analysis Agency]

We have the results of the handwriting analysis.

Thank you.

[Handwriting Analysis]

[The handwriting on the note and the handwriting on the letter do not match.]

I'd like to close with what Oh Jung Ah's father wrote in his suicide note.

I hope that Seo Jae Hyuk receives severe punishment for killing my daughter.

Wait! The President is busy right now!

It's fine. I told him to come.

President Nam, if you take care of me this time...

I'll pay back your kindness for the rest of my life!

- Why should I? - Pardon?

I am just a rich loser with anger management issues.

I have absolutely no idea how to help you.

He's just a rich loser with anger management issues.

President Nam, I'm sorry. I was so drunk that night, I was out of my mind.

Detective Gwak...

People are not all same.

Like you...

There are people who need to crawl to survive.

And there are people who should never know what it means to crawl.

But my dear Detective Gwak, you didn't know that.

Your eyes...

If you are thinking of threatening me because you know my secrets

you should keep your mouth shut.

I might just kill you.

Understand?

[Witness 3, Detective Gwak at Jongro Police Station]

Would it be shocking if he was abandoned by the police?

Or would it be more shocking for him to be abandoned by Nam Gyu Man?

He asked for all of it.

How is it going with the investigation of Hong Moo Seok?

I found out today that Jung Ah's father's suicide note was fake.

I got three separate analyses, and the handwriting was clearly different.

Yes, he wouldn't have died in vain like that.

Once I add materials I received from you and Prosecutor Tak

I think we will have something on Hong Moo Seok.

Judge Kang wouldn't have called me just to have dinner together.

Actually, it's about the trial I was removed from.

The suspect was the manager at President Nam Gyu Man's vacation house.

And the murder occurred near the vacation house.

Why wasn't any investigation conducted of the vacation house?

We did. That's how we found the weapon that the suspect hid.

It's all in the documents.

No, the vacation house was not included in the initial investigation.

The most important place was not investigated first--

Judge Kang.

I understand you are still thinking about the case

because you were removed mid-trial.

But the case really is over now.

And the one who is guilty of the crime is dead.

There could be someone else who should be punished for the crime.

There are many suspicious parts.

[Contract for Legal Counsel]

What's this?

Someone from Smile Bulbs asked for a consultation a few days ago.

You know very well that I can't take on another case right now.

The client said that it had to be you.

Right, no means no.

Are you Attorney Seo Jin Woo?

He's the one from Smile Bulbs that I just told you about.

I am taking a break from lawyer work for a while.

Please, help me.

I'm sorry.

Please help my father!

My father is innocent.

You're the only one... who can save my father.

My dad didn't do anything wrong.

I can't just let him go to prison like this!

Innocent people go to prison, too.

- Please defend him. - Find another lawyer.

Please help my father!

My father is innocent.

You are the only one... who can save my father.

Attorney Song?

Please look into the Smile Bulb case.

Prosecutor Hong...

flies are buzzing around the company, looking for something dirty.

Before it gets louder, proceed with Smile Bulb's foreclosure.

Flies are attracted to the smell of money.

I'll put marshals on it right away.

Yes. And President Seok, send some men to give them a little scare.

I'll send them right away.

If the work involves hands getting dirty, Detective Gwak can clean it up.

Detective Gwak?

He plays by completely rules

so I ended our relationship to manage our exposure.

- Speaking of which, President Seok... - Yes?

Send me someone who can clean it up instead of Detective Gwak.

Got it. I'll send you someone right away.

Sure.

Hello, here...

Hello, please read this.

Please take a look at this. Thank you...

[Please protect Smile Bulbs]

I will take this case.

Father, he is the lawyer who will take on this case.

I am Seo Jin Woo.

Oh my, you are very young.

Are you nervous that I am young?

No, not at all!

When I say that we are going against Ilho

even the lawyers who showed interest at first refuse us.

They must've felt very scared to go against a big conglomerate like Ilho.

But I will find the truth that leads to victory.

Attorney Park!

I heard the defense attorney for this case is Seo Jin Woo?

That's what I heard.

It's gotten interesting.

I've been really curious the whole time if you are loyal to me only in words.

Show me what you have this time.

Don't worry! My skills don't change just because I go against Jin Woo.

I know your skills. The problem is you have other priorities once in a while.

Goodness, do you think it's easy for me to win just because I win every time.

Should I lose?

I should become a lawyer. Do I need to make a request?

A trial is a fight with your life on the line.

Even I don't know how my life will change.

President Seok Joo Il sent me.

Don't do that in front of President Nam Gyu Man.

Don't act like a gangster.

Please do a good job going forward.

You know Attorney Park Dong Ho of Ilho Law Firm, right?

Keep an eye on him and see what he does.

The factory is small and old

but we've been producing bulbs for 32 years since my grandfather.

So you've been supplying bulbs to Ilho Electronics for 12 years?

Yes. We had no problems with Ilho.

Then all of a sudden, they said our bulbs caused the microwave explosion.

Attorney Seo, this is really unfair.

My father worked so hard to manage this company...

Attorney Seo!

- You're a bit late today. - I had two trials today!

Maybe because I used to be a prosecutor

I have a lot of work from a lot of clients.

Let's go. It's cold.

Where are you going?

To the office. We're going to the office.

Our office is this way.

What's going on with you these days? Are you working too much?

I guess I was thinking about something else.

- Let's go. - Okay.

["Smile Bulbs": Making high-quality bulbs for over three generations.]

[Subcontractors of Ilho Group at the brink of bankruptcy]

[Nam Il Ho, Age 62 Ilho Group Chairman]

Smile Bulbs looks like a really good company.

It is, on paper.

They made one wrong bulb and they're destroyed.

- Is that what you think? - What?

Why do you think that this is the only part

that can cause an explosion in a microwave?

High voltage condenser, magnetron, transformer...

These are the core parts.

You're right.

Ask for advice from an electronics company, not Ilho Electronics.

Got it.

- Attach it there too. - Yes.

[Repossession]

The trial hasn't even begun yet. What are you doing?

We are executing our public duty right now.

You'll be penalized if you keep interfering.

Step aside.

Attach it there too!

The court has already permitted the execution of foreclosure

so all you need to do is to bring these men there and scare them a little.

- Yes. - Also...

You're keeping an eye on Attorney Park Dong Ho, right?

Yes. He's not doing anything suspicious.

Okay. If you think Dong Ho does anything suspicious

you have to come tell me first. Understood?

Yes, Boss.

You should go now.

Attorney Seo, what will happen to our factory?

The court is carrying out the foreclosure for all of the overdue tax payments.

We can't stop it.

The trial will begin soon.

We'll prove that Smile Bulbs didn't do anything wrong.

The only way is to get compensated by Ilho Group.

Why don't you eat?

You have to stay healthy to win this fight.

Yes, Father.

Attorney Seo will prove that we didn't do anything wrong.

Let's eat.

Everyone and his brother is picketing outside, claiming unfairness.

They think it's their bedroom.

Lawsuits are coming in one after another.

If things go wrong, it could lead to a class action suit.

How a conglomerate deals with several subcontractors is pretty similar.

Is it fun for you to see your friend with a headache?

When small business owners bring a civil case against a conglomerate

most of the small business owners end up bankrupt.

Gyu Man, you should at least find a way for everyone to coexist--

So... are you saying that it's all my fault?

How can you be so one sided as a judge?

That's enough. You might get into a fight.

Can we stop talking about work today?

Stay out of it.

What do you think you're doing?

Gyu Man.

Don't do that in front of other people. It doesn't look good.

We're friends.

Okay, I got it. We're friends.

What kind of problems can cause a microwave explosion?

When the fuse goes out, it could explode.

But it rarely happens in a normal product.

So parts other than the bulb can also cause an explosion?

Yes. As long as it's not the user's mistake

causes for explosion can vary.

Thank you for your help.

What are you doing here?

You put up the factory as collateral when you borrowed money from us.

So we seized it.

If you want to go in, pay our money back.

What did you say? How dare you...

Dad!

Move!

Move!

Dad!

Min Soo! Min Soo!

Min Soo! Hit me!

Dad!

- Attorney Seo. - Yes, tell me.

My father... my father...

We're executing our lien on this property. You cannot enter.

I am the legal counsel for Smile Bulbs. Step aside.

Then you should know it's trespassing.

- You're trespassing right now. - What?

Burglary, obstruction of business, refusal of eviction!

More than anything

people like you don't have any right to execute a lien to begin with.

You have 10 seconds to get lost.

The police are coming right now.

Dad, please don't do it!

Let's talk! Talk to me!

It's not over for us yet!

Dad, please look at me!

Please listen to me!

Dad!

Min Soo...

I can't handle this.

I'm sorry... I showed you this pathetic side.

Sir...

Please don't do this in front of your son.

Attorney Seo...

you were the only one in the world who took our side.

Thank you.

Your son came to me

and asked me to help you because you were innocent.

Your son is trying to save you

so how can you, as the father, take your own life?

This is too cruel to your son!

A month ago, I could not save my father...

so he passed away.

Have you thought about your son? He will live on without any family!

You have to live.

You have to live no matter what it takes.

And you have to tell the world!

"I am innocent!"

"Smile Bulbs is a good company that has inherited an artisanal spirit!"

I will prove it.

Dad!

Dad...

Dad, Dad...

- Min Soo... - Dad...

What's happening?

I'm sorry! I'm sorry, Min Soo...

Dad!

How could you leave me behind?

What do I do about my poor dad?

Dad... Dad...

Your father will be fine.

Thank you, Attorney Seo.

My father was saved thanks to you.

Attorney Seo... maybe we should just give up on the suit.

I don't know much about the law

but I didn't know it would be so cruel to helpless people with no power.

I lost my father because of the cruel law.

In order to protect your loved ones

you have to become strong.

I will prepare for the trial.

Please protect your father.

Is he doing all right?

It's all part of your plot.

I knew that we'd meet as attorneys in court someday.

Sure, you're an attorney who is trying to protect Nam Gyu Man

and I am an attorney who is trying to destroy Nam Gyu Man.

Let's fight according to the law as attorneys in court tomorrow.

Don't go easy on me.

According to the law... That's really funny.

You know how rotten the law has become.

To weak people like my client and me, it's cruel with no end in sight.

To your master, Nam Gyu Man, the law is a funny thing.

Jin Woo...

I understand that you can't trust the law.

But it's still the only thing you can lean on.

My goodness, Attorney Seo Jin Woo...

Just as someone said, we get to see each other in court.

It will be the real deal when you are in the defendant's seat.

Prosecutor Lee In Ah!

You should've been comfortable as a prosecutor.

Why did you volunteer for hard work?

Stop meddling in other people's lives.

Why don't you just live your own life the right way?

Attorney Seo Jin Woo...

Let's fight a good fight.

That's what I wanted to say, Attorney Park Dong Ho.

Illegal tricks, fast tricks won't work on me anymore.

He's pissing me off.

People who have nothing are getting along well.

Isn't that right?

Yes, I think it is.

I am Kim Hyung Sik.

I was in charge of investigating the microwave explosion of Ilho Electronics.

I will read the investigation report.

The cause of Ilho Electronics's microwave explosion

was the bulb in the microwave.

Is this the report that you wrote after investigating?

Yes.

For all other microwaves that exploded, was the bulb the cause?

Yes.

We're submitting the witness's investigation report as evidence.

That's all I have.

Defense Counselor, ask your questions.

This accident occurred while the microwave was in operation.

If it was in use, aren't there many other parts that could cause an explosion?

I guess so.

Transformer, high-voltage condenser, electric board...

Parts that could explode. Or poor contact of electric wires. What about those?

All of them are a possibility...

but based on our investigation, we are certain it was from the defective bulb.

I see.

You worked as a repairman for a long time, right?

You worked at Ilho Electronics for 20 years.

So, where is the office of your investigation company?

The address is Gongdeok-dong, Mapo-gu. Correct?

On the third floor of Ilho Electronics.

Your company is a subcontractor for Ilho Electronics, right?

Answer me, Witness!

The Defense Counselor is delaying the trial

by asking the witness unrelated questions.

That's not true.

Whether the witness is a subordinate of Ilho Electronics or not

is a critical point in this trial.

It is customary for the manufacturer to conduct an investigation

when an accident related to electronic products occurs in our country.

But this is like putting a cat in charge of a fish store.

Therefore, this witness's statement has no credibility.

Sustained. You may continue.

Answer me. Is it true that your company is a subcontractor of Ilho Electronics?

Yes.

If the custom is wrong, it means

all the electronic accident investigations went wrong.

If you find a problem with something the country allows by the law--

That is exactly the problem, Counselor.

You have no choice but to look over the conglomerate Ilho Electronics.

Because you're a subcontractor of the manufacturer.

Ilho Electronics did not provide an understandable cause of the accident.

And they put all the blame on a subcontractor.

It lead to the closing of a bulb factory

that has been in operation for over three generations.

All of the employees of the factory lost their jobs.

President Nam Gyu Man of Ilho Group said this...

"All of the subcontractors who partnered with us... are our family."

If you keep watching this trial, you'll find out...

that the only family they really have is those who are related by blood.

Oh, sorry.

My hand went out before I knew it.

Don't keep it inside.

What? Are you in a bad mood?

Didn't you hear from my boss? If you follow me, I'll kill you.

This is the last time.

If I tell everything, it's over for you! Let go of me! I'm a policeman!

I'm sure Oh Jung Ah's father was murdered.

Since I found out that he tried to cover up a criminal case

I can't stand it anymore.

- You remember where this place is. - Let go of me, you bastard!

Soo Beom, you know your place since you have no pride.

If I just open my mouth, he's dead!

The ability you have is actually a disability.

How much time do I have left?
