Stop talking about the sauna owner's son.
I have no intentions of getting married for a while.
What do you mean , why?
I'm going to earn a lot of money so that you can live the high life.
Hang on.
It was nothing.
I thought someone was following me, but I guess I was mistaken.
Just text me your bank account number.
I'll deposit my whole paycheck in there when I get paid.
Help me!
Mom!
Hye Sung!
What happened, Hye Sung?
Mom!
Save me!
Hye Sung! Jang Hye Sung! Answer me!
Hye Sung!
How can my dream be so vivid?
Episode 7. [Why are sad premonitions never wrong?]
Why did I dream something like that?
I'm serious! My mom's dream has never been wrong.
- Are you normally superstitious? - Not at all.
I hate having my fortunes told the most, but I can't help but believe her.
Hey.
- Aren't you going to help me carry all this? - My bag is heavy enough.
So how accurate is your mom's dreams?
My mom dreamt that my nose bled enough to fill a whole bathtub.
I heard that any bloodshed in a dream means great luck is coming my way.
And I got my college acceptance letter after she had that dream.
My grandmother passed away after she dreamt that her two front teeth fell out.
And after my mom had a dream about a pig, she found 10,000 won.
And then I got hired as a public defender.
It's all just a coincidence.
I wonder if her dream really means something bad is going to happen to someone?
Could it be me?
Or mom?
My bus is here first. I'll be going then.
What are you doing?
This isn't your bus.
I'll take you to the office.
Why?
Are you by any chance being like this because of my mom's dream?
Because you're worried about me?
Didn't you want me to help you carry these files?
Do you not want me to?
- Should I just get off? - No, that's not what I meant.
I just don't want you to be late for school.
It's exam week this week. It's okay if I'm a little late.
You don't owe me anything.
What are you talking about?
I know that you're staying by my side because you feel like you owe me a debt.
That's what Sung Bin told me.
She said you don't like living your life knowing that you owe me a debt.
Why is she going around talking nonsense?
You don't owe me anything, so there's no debt for you to repay either.
Had it been someone else and not you, I still would've testified just the same.
It's not like I did it for the recognition.
I'm not staying besides you just so I can repay a debt.
Then what is it?
- There's an empty seat over there. - Where?
Where? Where is it?
Attorney Jang!
It's Attorney Cha!
No, that's not right. I can't seem too eager.
A cool city woman.
I have to act like a cool city woman.
You're here early.
Yes, I have a lot of cases to tend to today.
Your style has improves quite a bit today.
Yes, I took special care.
I even went to a beauty salon for the first time in my life.
I'm wearing contact lenses. Look, I'm not wearing white socks either.
That's nothing to brag about. They're all just the basics.
Ah... is it?
Park Soo Ha!
We've met before, haven't we?
Is he by any chance the kid you were referring to yesterday?
- The one who you said was in trouble? - Yes.
What if he misunderstands and thinks that there's something going on?
I tend to be overly responsible, so I've taken on the role of his guardianship.
Hey, you scoundrel.
My date with Attorney Jang got cancelled yesterday because of you.
Don't cause any more trouble from now on, and just...
I'm leaving.
That scoundrel... he's pretty chic.
Here, give me that. I'll carry them for you.
By the way... this is for you.
What's this?
It's chocolate.
I was going to give it to you yesterday, but I'm finally able to give it to you now.
What this chocolate for? It's not like it was a date.
It's cold.
Why don't you try one?
Now that I get a closer look, we look like we're dressed to match today.
Just like how couples dress alike.
Maybe I should've worn something else instead of my school uniform.
Attorney Jang.
You have a meeting with Mr. Lee Dae Song soon, right?
You're going to need this.
Why the bottled water?
- Do you know that grandfather well? - Of course, I do.
Our Attorney Shin had him as a client in the past
and was in and out of the hospital for quite a while after that.
Why?
Is the defendant by any chance... a member of the mob?
Or... is he a drug addict?
No, he's just a habitual thief.
And he only stole free newspapers.
Free?
Those newspapers that they give out for free on the streets?
Yes, he collects abandoned newspapers for a living...
but then he couldn't find enough, so he stole 300 of the free papers.
But can you be charged with theft from stealing free newspapers?
Aren't those papers free anyways?
Even though those papers are free, it cost money to print them.
They're put out for everyone to each just take one.
But if he takes them all, of course, that would be theft.
I'm Lee Dae Sung.
Which one of you is Attorney Jang Hye Sung?
Yes, that's me.
Why don't you come this way?
Let's go up to the rooftop and have some coffee.
It's going to get very loud in here pretty soon.
This is already your 16th charge of theft?
You've even been to jail already for repeat offense of a theft.
But you stole again within a year of being released from jail?
- You're going to have to go to jail again. - I can't hear you.
I said, it'll be difficult for you to avoid jail time.
You have to reach a settlement with the one filing the complaint.
I said, I can't hear you.
Because this is a repeat offense, you're going to be sentenced jail time.
You're going to jail. To jail!
How can I go to jail for taking some free newspapers?
Yes.
You can go to jail for stealing free newspapers.
That's why you have to go reach a settlement with the victim.
- You have to settle to avoid going to jail. - I can't hear you.
You have to reach a settlement with the victim for us to even be able to do anything!
So this is why I need the water.
What do you mean, there aren't any newspapers?
Newspapers are all over the place in the subway stations.
You could've just picked those up instead.
Why did you steal them from the newsstand?
I told you it's because I don't have any newspapers.
This is why you're just a public defender.
What did you just say?
There are reasons why some things are for free.
If you had the skills, I'm sure you wouldn't be a public defender
but be working for a corporate law office where you can earn a lot of money!
We're just not communicating very well.
I'm going to call your son for our next meeting
so make sure that you come with your son, okay?
Don't call him.
But you're not listening to me. You're not listening to me at all.
I'm going to call your son and tell him to go reach a settlement.
I said, don't do it!
I'm going to do it!
Then what? Did you call his son?
No, not yet.
I'm going to call him as soon as I get in tomorrow.
I doubt the grandfather will let you get away with that once he finds out.
Whatever.
I'm not going to talk to that grandfather anymore either.
I'm just going to damage my throat if I try to talk to him anymore.
I know that your throat hurts.
You can talk to me with your thoughts instead of voicing them out loud.
That's right! There's that method!
This is great.
But whatever happened with your mother's dream?
She was right on target this time, too.
Look at the awful defendant I just got stuck with.
Don't you think your case is too tame for the nightmare that she had?
What do you mean, tame? This is just the beginning.
I wonder what kind of a ruckus he's going to throw in the courtroom.
Ugh, so annoying!
Every other word out of his mouth is, 'Public defender'.
What about being a public defender?
He says that I'm careless and incompetent because I'm just a public defender.
He says the reason why I'm still unmarried is because I'm a public defender.
What?
Is there a war breaking out or something?
When is she ever going to eat all this?
If she puts them in the freezer, she'll be able to eat for about a month or so.
Can you hand me an ice pack?
Are you still going to do all this for her even when she's married?
Of course!
I'm going to have to cook for her twice as much when that happens.
But anyways... isn't Hye Sung dating at all?
She's going to turn 30 soon.
No, I don't think she is.
But there is a man she's interested in though.
Really? Who?
Attorney Cha.
Oh my... you've got your wish.
You were working so hard to get those two together through that sneaky plan of yours.
I know.
I guess their fate was just meant to be seeing as how they're drawn to each other like that.
That's great.
- Ma'am... here you go. - Yeah?
- Thank you, I really enjoyed it. - Sure. Was it salty at all?
Not at all. It was very delicious.
Good. Let me know whenever you want some more.
Thank you.
- Have you received any orders yet? - No.
- I'm going to go hand out some fliers then. - Okay, I'll see you when you get back.
[Press here to see who is searching for you!]
Why am I getting so many spam texts lately.
He sure is suspicious.
Can't you just fall for the trick?
What do I have to do for him to fall for it?
Won't you get in trouble for not wearing your school uniform today?
Today is... regular attire day.
I didn't know they had days like that.
Yeah, they do.
Stop bringing stuff like this home.
You never even read them before going to bed and it just ends up being a heavy burden.
I did read them before I went to sleep.
[Location finder]
Who is it?
Go on in first. I'll be right behind you.
Okay.
Did he get himself a girlfriend?
Hello?
Hi, I called because I thought that you may be waiting for a call.
When will you find out?
I don't know that either.
I can only start to narrow down his location once he opens up one of the texts.
But he's not falling the texts at all.
Please take care of it as soon as possible. It's urgent.
Okay. I'll text you even if it's the middle of the night as soon as I get him.
So, just wait for the text, okay?
Wait!
Thank you.
Aren't you getting in?
Are you here to escort Attorney Jang to work again today?
Thanks, I really appreciate you doing that.
For taking care of Attorney Jang in a dangerous world that we live in.
Why should you feel thankful for that?
You?
Hey, you scoundrel. How old are you?
I'm sure I'm younger than you.
What are you going to do by knowing how old I am?
I just... was going to introduce you to someone.
My little cousin is a sophomore in high school.
She goes to a foreign language academy, and she's really smart.
She's also slim and pretty enough to catch the attention of television producers.
I already like someone.
Really? Who's that?
Why would I have to tell you that?
I've felt it for awhile now... but I feel like you don't like me.
Yes, you're right. I don't like you.
Why? Have I ever done something wrong against you?
This brat gets all snarky every time I'm around Attorney Jang.
Could the woman he like... be Attorney Jang?
- Yes. - What?
You are doing something wrong. You're stepping on my foot right now.
Oh, sorry.
It's like he can see straight through people.
Hey, kid. As a high school kid, you're speech is too informal when addressing me.
Mister... I mean, you can call me Gwan Woo.
What do you think you're dong right now?
What's going on?
Don't come any closer! I'm going to report you to the police!
Get away from me. Put that down right now!
I told you not to come any closer!
You're fired! You filthy and useless attorney!
- Are you okay? - Huh?
Yeah.
Are you out of your mind?
- Attorney Cha... - What is this that you're doing!
Someone almost got hurt!
What is it that you think you're doing!
Is that any way for an attorney to be behaving?
- Attorney Shin! - Hello?
- Is this the police? - Cho Yoo Chang. Hang up the phone.
Yoo Chang, report it to the police.
This is clearly an act of violence at a workplace!
Everyone just sit still.
Sir...
Why don't you and I talk?
- Come this way. - Attorney Shin!
Are you hurt?
No, I'm just a bit bruised up.
Sir, I fully understand that you're angry and that you feel unjust.
But you still can't do that.
If you do that and someone ends up getting hurt...
you're going to get taken off to jail and you won't be able to do anything about it.
You'll be in big trouble.
Then are the police going to come back to get me again?
No!
The woman attorney that you saw earlier is much nicer of a person than she looks.
She has great depth, and she has a wonderful character.
So she's going to forgive you and won't report you to the police.
So just don't ever do that again, okay?
What a joke. Who says I'll forgive him?
You heard what I said?
That grandfather... feels really bad for what he did.
So don't report him, and let's just let this go quietly.
Just think of it as reaching a settlement between you two.
Settlement?
No, I don't want to.
I'm going to sue him for assault and interference of work at a workplace.
Do you really need to be so harsh to someone who lives day to day?
- Will doing that make you feel better? - Yes.
That will make me feel better.
I believe doing things by the law is always right.
Is that right?
Fine, law sounds good.
Then, I'll do it by the law as well.
When you went to visit your client for your client interview...
I know that you planned it with the prosecutor to deceive your own defendant.
I'm going to report that.
So that you feel better... we follow the law.
Since that's the right way.
Are you... threatening me right now?
Rather than calling it a threat...
let's just call it negotiating.
What do you think?
Should we do this by the law?
Fine. Let's follow the law...
That's enough.
We're not going to sue the grandfather, so you can tell him not to worry.
Be quiet. You've been hurt.
That's right. I'm the victim.
I, the victim is making the decision. Satisfied?
Don't follow me.
You're pissed that I didn't take your side?
Don't make me sound so immature.
It really annoys me when someone tries to sound righteous in times like this.
I'm sorry.
I really am sorry.
I won't do that again.
Is your arm okay?
Yeah.
You'll be late for school. You should hurry up and get going.
Okay.
Oh my goodness!
Yes, hello?
Yes.
Excuse me?
Ah... yes, I understand.
Um... Attorney Cha?
Yes?
The public defender for Mr. Lee Dae Song's incident...
has been switched over to Attorney Cha.
Okay. I understand.
A vanilla latte after that spicy octopus stir-fry...
How do I describe it?
The way it puts out the fire in my mouth...
It's like the latter is putting out the hot fire in my mouth with its sweetness?
Wait, isn't that guy...
That looks like Attorney Cha Gwan Woo.
Wow... I know I said this before, but he really is a decent guy.
His grades, personality... everything about him is great.
You could say that he's like an good example for all the public defenders.
Why me! Why!
He used to be exemplarity! Back then, at least.
See? Look at how exemplarity he is.
Yoo Chang.
Tell Attorney Jang to hand over all the files on Mr. Lee Dae Song over to Attorney Cha.
Okay.
Excuse me, Attorney Jang.
- The files on Mr. Lee Dae Song... - Yoo Chang?
Attorney Cha is going to refuse to take on this case
so please relay to him that doing that won't be necessary.
Yes, okay.
- Excuse me, Attorney Shin... - Attorney Cha...
Tell her he's not someone who'd forget his duties as a public defender
to fight with his own defendant, so she shouldn't worry about it.
Let him know that even public defenders does not have to take any cases they don't want to.
Tell her that being choosy with her cases is not what a public defense attorney does!
Why are you both doing this to me?
Yoo Chang.
Did you get the files for Mr. Lee Dae Song's case?
Attorney Jang. Can you hand over your files to me?
Attorney Shin.
I'm sorry about earlier.
Do you by any chance have any files on Mr. Lee Dae Song's case?
Of course, I do.
Just give me a minute. I'll get them to you right away.
Where have you been and what took you so long?
I thought I was going to suffocate to death in here.
Ugh, what are you doing? You're grossing me out.
Do you have anyone who'd sign the petition for you?
Do you not have any family or relatives?
How much newspaper do you get per day?
More than 1200 papers? Or is it less than that?
Hello. I'm Mr. Lee Dae Song's attorney.
That was refreshing.
Why are you soaking wet?
Is it raining outside?
No. I was given a water reception when I went to visit the victim.
Why does the public defender have to go out to meet the victim?
I see that as going overboard.
I thought that maybe the judge will be more lenient if I got the victim to settle.
- That really was refreshing. - Attorney Cha seriously works that hard?
He's your perfect model citizen. He may even get himself a Nobel Peace Prize.
Hey... to be perfectly blunt about it, that man terrorized me.
As a fellow comrade and out of loyalty...
isn't it wrong of him to be working that hard at it?
What do you think? Would you be like Attorney Cha if it was you?
But if you're his attorney...
No. If it was me, I'd definitely choose loyalty..
To be honest... I have been thinking that Attorney Cha is pretty decent lately.
Not a lot, but just a tiny little bit.
Really?
But... my eyes were just rotten.
I can't believe I ever thought that he was cool.
If I ever deal with him again, I'll just go change my last name.
Anyways, your mother's dream really was spot on.
She guessed the terrorizing trash incident.
You think?
You should be happy that's all it was. What's so weird about it?
It's because that was too tame compared to the nightmare that you had.
Tame?
Hey... stop spewing crap from your mouth.
That's enough of that.
You get your paycheck this week, don't you?
So what are you going to do?
What do you mean, what am I going to do? I thought you were going to confiscate it.
Of course!
How are you going to give it to me?
Are you going to be a sass and just deposit into my account without seeing me
or are you going to come all the way here...
or are you going to give it to me in an envelope...
while bowing down to me and telling me to use it however I want?
What is this?
Are you threatening me to come serve it to you on a silver platter in person?
I'll come home this weekend.
Okay, I got it.
I'll see you this weekend.
What are you going to do with Hye Sung's paycheck?
- I'm going to buy a car. - I thought you didn't have a driver's license.
No, I don't have one.
Then why are you buying a car? Ah... you're buying it for Hye Sung?
- Give me this jacket in size 44. - Size 44?
No, even this size 66 is too small on you. You should be wearing size 77.
Ah... you're buying this for Hye Sung, too?
That girl has no taste whatsoever when it comes to clothes.
Is this Gil Dong?
Listen, my daughter will be coming home this weekend.
So can you go to the market and get me some ribs?
My daughter loves ribs, so I'm going to make some for her to take back with her.
Yes, I understand.
She's coming this weekend?
Yeah, and if you ever have any problems, you can talk to my daughter about it.
She'll help you out for free.
Okay, I understand.
Oh, you're here.
Yes.
Ugh, it's already 8:30?
I'm in big trouble. I have a trial in a little bit.
Where did my case file go?
Here it is.
Attorney Seo Dae Woong is my opposing counsel.
You've gone up against him several times, haven't you?
Do you have any tips you could give me?
Like a special offense tactic?
Attorney Cha... I wasn't going to say this because I didn't want to seem petty.
Excuse me?
Aren't you angry?
That grandfather called me a filthy and useless attorney.
That insult wasn't just geared towards me...
but he was generally insulting all of public defense attorneys .
- Don't you agree? - Yes, you're right.
I don't expect you to take my side.
But you also don't have to do all this when you're defending a person who insulted me.
To be honest, you doing this bothers me.
It feels like you're purposely trying to shove it in my face.
- Come on, it's not like that. - If that's not it, then what else is it?
Why are you going so overboard like this?
That's...
The truth is...
[In session]
- For the past five years, Mr. Lee Dae Song... - Excuse me.
Prosecutor, and Honorable Judge...
Defendant Lee Dae Song is very hard of hearing.
Please ask your questions in a louder voice.
Okay, I understand.
Prosecutor, please ask your questions in a louder voice as well.
Defendant Lee Dae Song has been charged with...
a total of 16 theft charges in the past five years
and has even served jail time for the charges. Is that correct?
Yes, that is true, but the way those things happened...
The previous judges and the court have ruled that
the defendant's thefts were committed as a means of survival.
Thus, the defendant has been shown leniency by being given lesser sentencing
probation instead of imprisonment, and lowering of the charges.
Is that true?
Yes, that is true, and I've even been to jail twice, but...
The defendant committed another theft
which is the case you're here for now in less than a year after being released from jail?
That's correct.
I guess I've committed a sin worthy of death.
The defendant suffered an accident five years ago
which led to him losing his home, and injuring his leg
thus ultimately losing his job over it.
Is that correct?
Yes, that's true.
And last year, your electricity was shut off because you were unable to pay for the bill
and you had rely on using a candle for light, which led to your room catching on fire?
Yes, that's true.
For the past five years, you had to resort to stealing newspaper that others have collected
when you couldn't find enough abandoned newspaper on your own
and you stole oil from the boiler of your next-door neighbor because you were so cold
- and also... - Counsel?
We can see all that on the record, so move on to your next question.
Yes.
Do you have anything else to add?
Yes, I do.
Then what else is it?
Why are you going so overboard?
That's...
The truth is...
It's because it really angers me.
What?
I'm... so angry at what that grandfather did to you.
And it also angers me that he disrespected the public defenders.
That's why... I'm going to show him in the courtroom.
This mound is worth 5,000 won of newspaper...
which is what Mr. Lee Dae Song has to pay for his daily boarding fee.
On top of that...
he needs at least this much more in order to get himself one meal a day.
Your honor...
have you ever been on a subway recently?
No one reads the newspaper anymore.
They all get their news from their smartphones.
I spent a whole day going around the city...
and I was only able to pickup 35 abandoned newspapers.
For these people who needs to find at least 800 newspapers daily for survival...
that's probably all they're able to find out on the streets.
Show him what?
I want to show him through this trial
that we're trying hard to see the world through the eyes of the defendant.
And that we truly do understand...
that's what I want to show Grandfather Lee.
That's why I'm going to help him out.
And after that...
After that?
I'm going to tell him to give you an apology.
So that he'll apologize to you...
that is why I'm all over the place working so hard as I am right now.
Telling him to find something else to do if selling old newspaper isn't enough.
You may even tell him to adapt to this changing world so that he can survive.
However... perhaps this world is changing too fast for these people to catch up to.
Please step into his shoes and look at the world from his point of view...
and rethink about this situation once more.
Your honor.
Have you ever been on the subway recently?
No one reads the newspaper anymore.
They get all their news from their smartphones.
They really do.
But for these people who needs to find at least 800 newspapers daily for survival...
that's probably all they're able to find out on the streets.
I'm sure that's true.
What is?
Attorney Cha really is an annoying person.
He scolded me while pretending to do something for me.
By telling me to act more like a public defender.
What are you talking about?
I want to help Attorney Cha.
You want to... help Attorney Cha?
No, it's not like I want to associate myself with him yet...
But I just feel bad seeing him struggling after being dumped with my old case.
It's... not because I have other intentions.
What's the use of trying to fool him?
When he can see right through me.
I just realized something.
But I think Attorney Cha...
That's enough.
How about we all grab some Chinese for lunch today?
I got a coupon on my way to work this morning...
and if all four of us go, we get a free sweet and sour pork.
Really?
Really? That's great. Let's go right now.
- Okay. - Attorney Jang.
Come with us.
I'm meeting a friend of mine for lunch.
Come on, all four of us needs to go for us to get that free dish.
What are you doing? I already have lunch plans!
Oh my... oh my goodness!
Okay... oh my!
Fancy running into you guys here.
Is today a special occasion or something?
Are you here for the free dish, too?
It's because of your love for free things that your hair keeps on thinning.
Yes, I asked Prosecutor Seo to come with us so that we had four people for the coupon.
Since you're already here, would you like to join us?
That sounds great.
Attorney Cha... your recent trial was very impressive.
I heard you even brought in a stack of newspaper for your defense?
The stories of your outstanding work has spread even through my office.
Mr. Lee Dae Song is in a very unfortunate situation.
I think there's even been a time when all he had to survive on was yogurt for three days.
Not only that.
You know those breads that stores throw out because there's mold spores on them?
The poor man even ate those breads by pulling off those mold spores.
While living in that tiny room that he can barely even stretch out in.
There are over a million people who lives in a room of that size.
But all those million people don't need steal to get by and survive.
No, the rest of them lives an honest life.
If we go easy on them with everything just because they live in a tiny room...
that's saying that we're going to turn our country into an unlawful society.
That's against common sense.
So...
is that why you're indicting an 80 year old man...
to six years in jail because this is a repeat offense of his theft charges?
Is that what you call common sense?
Yes, that's my common sense.
Mr. Lee Dae Song has committed 16 counts of theft.
It's a given that he should be given a stiffer sentence for a repeat offense.
If you let them off just because they're old, then what are you going to tell the victims?
A person doesn't continue to rape or kill just so that they could survive.
Yes, it would make sense to give harsher punishments for heinous crimes like that.
But stealing a few free newspapers to survive...
- That's 300 newspapers. - That's right.
Someone who merely stole 300 newspapers...
to be punished the same as those criminals who committed rape, and murders...
that sort of judgments means that you don't even have an ounce of humanity in you.
Why are you talking about the trial while we're sitting down to lunch?
Both of you get your hand off the table.
We have to be able to turn this for the rest of us to be able to eat.
I wonder if she'll give me one if I asked her to give me one for 500 won.
Grandfather.
Grandfather, do you by any chance have 500 won?
I only have 1,500 won, but if I had another 500 won, I can buy three egg breads.
Are you going to share them with me?
Of course.
I'll give you two.
I can't believe how much food she sent you. It's not like a war breaking out.
You have to give it to her. She knows what it means to be generous.
She even sent me a jacket.
- Pretty. - Me?
No, the jacket.
You're so mean with the things you say.
Tomorrow is Grandfather Lee's final hearing, and I don't know what to do.
Is jail time his only option?
Yeah.
If Do Hyun changes her indictment...
to just theft charges rather than repeated theft, then he can avoid jail time.
But there's no way that wench would do something like that.
If Grandfather Lee can get the victims to settle...
we can at least lower his sentence.
But they have no intentions of settling.
There's just no way out of this.
But I think that Grandfather Lee did try to get the victims to settle.
How would you know that?
I saw that grandfather earlier today.
Really?
How did you see him?
- Just... by chance? - By chance?
Wow, that's crazy.
So what did he say?
He said he ran into that newspaper owner purely by chance at a funeral recently.
Then what?
He apologized and told him that he'd never do it again
but I don't think it worked.
The guy even came to grandfather's house and threw a scene about throwing him in jail.
Then there's no chance of ever reaching a settlement.
But how did he ever run into that guy at the funeral?
He said he just accidentally ran into him.
I guess the deceased was a relative to them both.
Then the victim and Grandfather Lee are related?
I don't think they're that close.
If they're both relatives of the deceased, then that'd make them distant cousins.
They said they just realized that for the first time at the funeral.
So that means they're close kin?
If this is handled well, we can use the relative resolution method.
Relative resolution method?
What's that?
Hey.
I think there may be a way.
As long as you help out.
I'm sorry, Mr. Lee.
I really wanted to avoid jail time...
but I think... that's going to be difficult.
Oh well.
Then I'll just go to jail.
Then at least I wouldn't have to worry about a boarding fee...
or drink sugared water as a meal.
It's actually even better.
But...
will they take me to jail right away once I receive my sentence?
Yes.
They probably will.
Okay... I see.
This is what you usually drink? Sparkling fruit juice?
Yeah. You came.
Wow, you... wow... you're really...
What about me?
You told me to come dressed in a suit.
I heard that nothing looks better on a man than a suit.
I guess that applies to you, too.
You almost had my heart racing.
Enough of that.
So explain to me how I need to help.
Okay, listen.
You usually don't need a formal complaint for a person to be charged with theft.
That's why once the charges are filed, it wouldn't matter even if the victim settles.
But if the victim is a relative, then it changes the story.
If the relative settles and takes back the charges they filed
then the trial can no longer go on.
This is what you call a relative resolution method.
So even though their distant relatives, they're still kin.
So as long as we can reach a settlement, we can save Grandfather Lee.
That's right.
But that man said there's no way that he'd settle.
Attorney Cha even had water dumped on him when he went there to propose a settlement?
That's why...
I need this and you.
Who is it?
Hello, my name is Jang Hye Sung and I'm a public defense attorney.
An umbrella?
I told you that I'm not settling!
We came because we had something else to ask you.
I'm Attorney Jang Hye Sung, and this is Officer Park Soo Ha.
How many times have I told you?
I'm going to do this by the law.
I'm going to see that old man getting hauled off to jail with my very own two eyes.
- Got that? - I heard you've been to Lee Dae Song's house?
I was told you threw a fit about appealing the verdict if he doesn't get jail time?
I didn't throw a fit.
I just visited him to have a conversation with him.
A dialogue.
That old man threw a fit because I walked in with my shoes on.
Did he run over to them and tell on me?
Walking into someone home with your shoes on is not what you exactly call a visit.
That's called trespassing.
If we take it to court, that could carry a bigger sentence than theft.
And I also saw this banner in your newspaper.
[This paper upholds the Ethics of Korean people's way of life...]
and it does not advertise anything indecent or illicit.]
Could they have...
seen the advertisement for underage escort service?
You've even advertised escort services, right?
And one advertising minors at that.
According to Article Five of the prostitution law, Section Four...
any advertisement of such illicit services are also considered to be illegal.
What is it that you guys want from me?
Are you... threatening me right now?
Instead of calling it a threat... how about we call it negotiating?
I couldn't have done this without you.
Anything you want to eat? How about something you want?
Whatever it is, just tell me. It'll be my treat.
Forget it.
There is somewhere that I'd like to go through.
- Where? - The aquarium.
The aquarium?
Why do you all of a sudden want to go there?
Because I've never been there before.
- Have you ever been? - Of course...
No, I haven't been.
I've only seen it on TV.
Okay. Let's go after the court hearing.
- What time is the trial? - 11 o'clock.
How is it already...
I'm late!
Although it is extremely unfortunate that the thefts committed by the defendant...
was due to his hardships in life and it was his means of survival.
However, due to the frequency of this repeat offense, no more leniency can be given.
I sentence the defendant to three years in jail...
I apologize for the interruption.
But I have an important file that I must give to Attorney Cha.
- This is for me? - Yes.
Is this for real?
Counsel! What are you doing?
This is a sacred court room!
Thank you.
Your honor!
The case against the defendant has been dropped.
What are you talking about?
As you can see from those papers...
Defendant Lee Dae Song and the Victim Lee Man Hee
are related to one another, and are distant relatives.
According to Penal Code 344, Section 328...
one relative must press charges against the other for the case to go to court.
So they're relatives?
How clever of her to have found that.
Victim Lee Han Hee no longer wants to proceed with his charges...
and has dropped the charges against him, thus this case no longer has any standing.
Yes, I see that.
This case no longer has any standing to be prosecuted in the court of law.
The defendant... is now free to go.
Please excuse me.
Attorney Jang!
Attorney Jang.
Where are you going?
- Oh, it's you! - You didn't know that it was me?
I was screaming out your name.
No, I had no idea.
She should be calling me if the trial is over.
Thank you so much for what you did today.
If it hadn't been for you...
Mr. Lee Dae Song would've been taken to jail for sure today.
It's okay. I didn't do it to get credit for it.
And as for the hug earlier in the courtroom...
It's okay.
I'm normally pretty cool with things like that.
I know co-workers could hug each other out of happiness.
Then how about a high five between co-workers?
What is the meaning of this?
Let's... date.
Excuse me?
- Well... well that's... - Even though my face may be smiling...
I'm quivering on the inside.
Please give me your answer.
Do you not like me?
No, I like you.
I totally bombed science.
I wish it was only that for me.
I totally messed up in science, English, math and everything else.
- It's Soo Ha! - Where?
There! He's right over there!
You're saying that's Soo Ha?
How are you even seeing that?
Where has that jerk been all morning just to show up now?
Hey... you can see him, too?
- Are you blind? - No.
Then why can't you see him?
It's not a date.
I'm just... taking him out to a movie because I'm proud of him.
I want to help Attorney Cha.
Let's... date.
Attorney Jang... you did great.
What the heck?
He said he doesn't like her... but he really does.
Why isn't he answering his phone? I thought he wanted to go to the aquarium.
Grandfather Lee Dae Song?
Are you just now getting off of work?
What...
What brings you by here?
I'm sorry for calling you a filthy useless attorney.
Are we good now?
I gave you my apology, okay?
You call this an apology?
Of course, it's an apology. What else would you call it?
You think it's a melon or a strawberry? (Word 'apology' in Korean sounds like 'apple')
You're apologizing against your will, right? Because Attorney Cha made you?
Forget the apology, and why don't you just call your son instead?
That again?
How upset do you think your son would be if he knew his father was living like this?
That's why I'm not calling him.
Because seeing my son upset would make my insides rot.
It's better that he doesn't know.
For both of us.
It's not even cold.
I'm getting too many spam texts lately.
Finally.
I made some ribs for you as well when I was making them for Hye Sung
Make sure to take it with you when you leave to go home later.
- Ma'am. - What?
I have something to tell you.
What is it?
It's...
a bit of a long story.
Mom, is it you?
What took you so long to answer the phone?
I was in the bathroom.
Why are you calling me?
Do you need me to get you anything on my way home tomorrow?
No, I don't need anything.
Did you call me just to ask me that?
No.
You know that grandfather who dumped the trash can over me?
I got the charges against him dropped, and he was set free today.
Good for you.
Didn't you tell me that Attorney Cha was his attorney?
Yeah. But your daughter played a crucial part in it.
If it hadn't been for me, he probably would've been sentenced to at least 2 years in jail.
That's great.
I guess I can't call you a loach anymore.
No, you can't.
Mom.
You're not hiding anything from me, are you?
What are you talking about?
By thinking that you're doing me a favor, you're not hiding any illnesses...
or pretending everything is fine when you're having problems, are you?
Yeah, I am.
What is it?
You said you're going to stay married to the law, didn't you?
I'm worried that you'll never get married and live the rest of your life alone.
What the heck? I'm being serious here.
Nothing else, right?
No, something else.
If there is, you have to be honest and tell me what it is.
Okay?
Then I'm hanging up.
Hye Sung, wait!
What?
Hye Sung...
You know something?
Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth.
If you live by that law...
everyone in this world would be living outside the law.
What are you talking about all of a sudden?
If anyone do you wrong...
it's because they're envious of you.
It's because you've got everything going for you...
and they're just jealous.
Instead of hating people like that...
you have to be the bigger person, and pity them.
Do you understand?
There you go again. You're taking Do Hyun's side, aren't you?
Listen to me!
Promise me.
What I'm saying is...
don't waste your life by filling it with hate for someone else.
You only live once...
so you should live your life loving those that are around you.
Okay?
Okay.
I'll try.
Okay.
Okay, that's my daughter.
You're acting weird.
You sound stuffed up.
Do you have a cold?
Do I?
Go get yourself treated at the hospital instead of just drinking honeyed water.
You should be more cautious with colds at your age.
Okay, I got it. I'll talk to you later.
That was it?
You realize... that those were your last parting words to your daughter, right?
Yeah, I know.
Those are my last parting words.
You really didn't say anything just because I told you not to say anything.
Shouldn't you be crying and begging for me to let you live?
You think I'm crazy?
When I know exactly what's going on inside your head...
you think I'm going to fall for something like that?
You're much stronger than you look.
I already told you everything.
Why it is that I'm doing this...
and why your daughter and I are enemies.
You know exactly what I'm about to do.
Aren't you scared?
No, I'm not scared.
I just find you...
pathetic and I feel sorry for you.
Pathetic?
You feel sorry for me?
You spent all your life hating and resenting someone else.
What a hell your life must have been.
Is that right?
Then I guess now your daughter will be living in the same hell I've been living in.
While hating me for the rest of her life for killing her mom...
with her teeth gritted and planning my revenge.
Isn't that right?
She won't live her life that way.
I didn't raise her to be pathetic as you.
Shut up!
[Location finder: Finally located him. He's near Sungmusi Myungwoldong.]
Sungmusi?
Soo Ha, you are home. Why aren't you answering your phone?
Where did you say your mother's chicken shop was?
Why do you suddenly want to know?
- Where is it? - It's in Sungmusi. Why?
Is it in Sungmusi Myungwoldong? Near the intersection?
Yeah, that's right.
How did you know that?
Why are you suddenly asking me that?
That's where...
Min Joon Gook is right now.
Why is Min Joon Gook...
Why is he at my mom's place?
Hello?
Yes.
Who is that on the phone?
Who's on the phone!
That's when I knew.
That the nightmare mom had wasn't over, but it was only just beginning.
And that the nightmare...
was much worse than I had ever imagined it would be.

You're not even human. How can a human being do what you did. How!
It's all bullshit about the victim always being the defenseless one.
And the attorney is an asshole.
She must've been a very good person.
She had been so kind to me.
It's absurd that this is going all the way to trial.
Min Joon Gook has requested Attorney Cha as his attorney.
- Why me! - If you get me declared innocent...
then Attorney Jang will really believe me.
- Goodbye. - Are you never going to see me again?
Hey, Soo Ha.
There's one more thing that you don't know.
