mysteriously caught on fire from unknown causes.
The fire destroyed the entire restaurant...
and the fire departments estimates the cost of damages to be around 5.4 million won
and the fire was extinguished in 15 minutes.
The accident caused the death of the 52 year old restaurant owner, Mrs. Eo
and the 43 year old employee, Mr. Min who attempted to put the fire out...
suffered injuries to his arm and leg, and is being treated at the hospital.
In order to find out the exact cause of the fire...
the police are planning on bringing Mr. Min in for questioning
as soon as he's released from the hospital.
Episode 8. [Who is this life for?]
I would like to be questioned in the jurisdiction of my home address.
May I request a transfer?
The funeral is later than I thought it would be.
- Hasn't it been awhile since the accident? - Yes.
I think there was some time delay because of the autopsy.
I heard that the arson suspect has been taken into custody?
You know that he's been assigned to our courthouse, don't you?
Why did he have to come to us of all places?
- I thought the accident occurred in Sungmusi. - But the defendant's address is around here.
So, I think he requested to be transferred over.
This is going to be trouble.
These are the contact information for Attorney Jang's mother's friends.
Please give them a call. I'm going to go get some funeral supplies.
Okay.
- Thank you for coming. - Thank you for coming.
I really don't know what I can say that will be of comfort to you.
Thank you for coming.
And Judge Kim...
- The case I was working on... - Don't worry about it.
I already took care of all that.
I heard that Min Joon Gook requested a public defense attorney?
Yes.
Please do not appoint me or Attorney Cha to represent Min Joon Gook's case.
We can't represent the man who killed Attorney Jang's mother.
Yes, I will try my best.
But... what you just said... isn't very like you.
Excuse me?
The trial hasn't even started yet.
It is very unfortunate that Attorney Jang's mother is dead.
But isn't it still too early for us to conclude who's guilty of her death?
I really didn't kill her.
Why would I kill her?
She has been nothing but kind to me.
It's just absurd that I'm going to stand a trial for killing someone like her.
It's just absurd.
She must have been a very nice person.
Saying that she was a good person is too much of an understatement.
She still gave me a job even though she knew that I was an ex-convict...
And on my birthday...
she made me seaweed soup, japchae, and all these other dishes.
I see.
So that's why you ran into that fire even though the shop was on fire?
In an attempt to save her?
Yes.
Even if I died while trying...
I wanted to do whatever I could to save her.
But... after seeing who the victim's daughter is...
I see that you have a very unique history with her?
I think that's why I'm being suspected of killing her.
But that's a misunderstanding.
A misunderstanding?
Ten years ago, I killed a man in a car accident.
It was just an accident...
but I think she viewed it as murder.
When she told the jury and the judge that...
I wasn't even able to do anything about it, and was charged with a murder.
Then... that accident also wasn't an intentional murder on your part
but the victim's death was accidental?
Then that means that it was a mistrial.
Yes, that's right.
I'm also a victim of that accident.
I was a victim of the circumstances.
There's something that you're not aware of.
When that accident occurred ten years ago...
other than Attorney Jang Hye Sung who witnesses the scene of the accident...
there was one other person who witnessed it.
Excuse me?
That one other person is me.
What are you doing? Run away!
According to my memory... that accident was no simple car accident.
That's what most people are like.
Even if you tell the truth ten times, if you're caught telling just one lie...
all the truths that you've told in the past...
they all start to sound doubtful to others.
I'll see you in the courtroom.
Mr. Min Joon Gook.
Let's think about this. Let's think...
How should I do this?
You asshole!
Why did you do it.
Why! Why did you kill an innocent person? Why! Why did you do it.
Why! Why did you kill an innocent person? Why!
It's not me. I didn't kill her! I'm telling the truth!
You call yourself human? How can a human being do this? How!
Someone help me. Help me.
Here, eat something.
I know you haven't eaten anything at all today.
I'm not hungry.
I had a few bites here and there.
We don't have many relatives, so I don't have anyone to carry the coffin.
Should I hire some people?
Do I need to call my mother's friends to let them know when the burial is?
I'll take care of everything on this list.
But for now, let's get something to eat.
I purposely didn't eat anything all day so that we could eat together.
Thank you.
You've got a lot of court hearing's tomorrow, don't you?
You can go home as soon as you're done eating.
No.
I'm your boyfriend now.
I know you're going to start crying if I leave you by yourself.
So I'm not going to leave you alone.
That's why I want to be alone.
So I can cry.
Attorney Jang.
Can you do that for me?
Since you're my boyfriend now?
I wonder if it's a sickness.
Or am I really that strong?
You came.
Yeah.
Where have you been?
I haven't seen you around all day.
Min Joon Gook...
I went to see Min Joon Gook.
What did he say?
He said he didn't kill her.
That this is unfair.
But what about when you saw him?
Did he really not kill her?
No.
What my mom's last moments were like...
were you able to find that out?
Yeah.
Min Joon Gook...
had her talk to you on the phone for one last time.
A phone call to me?
What phone call...
You're not hiding anything from me, are you?
What are you talking about?
Hiding any illness or sickness from me because you think you're doing me a favor
and pretending everything is fine when you're in trouble.
There's nothing like that, is there?
Yeah, there is.
What's that?
Didn't you tell me that you're going to spend your whole life married to the law?
I worry that you'll never get married and be alone for the rest of your life.
What the heck? I'm being serious over here.
There's nothing else, is there?
No, nothing else.
If there is... you have to tell me about it.
Okay?
I'm hanging up.
Hye Sung, wait!
Hye Sung...
You know something?
Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth...
If you live your life by that rule...
everyone in this world is going to live in a lawless society.
What are you talking about all of a sudden?
Those that do you wrong...
they do it because they're envious of you.
It's because they're jealous of everything that you have going for you.
Instead of hating those people...
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?
Mom.
Mom.... Mom... Mom!
Mom, what do I do?
What do I do? I didn't know!
Promise me.
Mom!
What I'm saying is...
don't waste your life by filling it with hate for someone else.
You only get to 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.
Mom, I didn't know!
I didn't know that was going to be our last.
My poor mom...
What do I do...
You must really like the crab shells.
No, not at all.
I prefer this leg piece over the shell part.
Then you're missing out on the best part.
This is the best part about the seasoned crab.
Judge Kim Gong Sook!
- Attorney Cha, what are you doing here? - I...
There's no way I can represent Min Joon Gook.
I already told you that there's no way that I'm going to take this case.
Yes, I know.
But the problem is, all the other attorneys I recommended him as public defense
he flatly refused and declined all of them.
We can't have the trial without him having a representation.
Attorney Jang Hye Sung and I work together at the same office.
How can I represent someone who killed her mother...
We don't know yet if he killed her or not.
- We can only know that after the trial. - Judge Kim!
I'm more than aware that this puts you in a difficult position.
But this is not a matter of choice.
Times like this is the reason why public defenders are needed.
And you're a public defense attorney.
Then... reassign him to Attorney Shin.
I will make the request to Attorney Shin myself.
I think that's going to be difficult as well.
- Why? - Min Joon Gook...
He specifically requested you to represent him in the case.
I can't believe Judge Kim.
How can he be so cruel?
Do you think that perhaps he secretly hates Attorney Cha?
He refused all the other attorneys.
Then what's going to happen to our office?
Attorney Cha is the mood maker of our office.
And if Attorney Cha turns dark, then our office is going to become dark, too.
Don't worry about it.
There's no way our office is going to turn dark with your nonstop chatter.
Then what about Attorney Jang?
If she finds out that Attorney Cha is representing Min Joon Gook
- that's going to drive her insane. - Hey! Just sit down!
You're about to drive me insane right now.
- Attorney Jang. - Attorney Jang?
Who's...
representing whom?
Most people that comes seeking help from public defenders like ourselves...
are people who steals money from others, and who's taken other people's lives.
There are lots of times when the attorney has to defend worst of criminals as their clients.
But the attorney can't keep avoiding their cases because they're brutal criminals.
How will you defend them in those cases?
- Attorney Jang. - I heard.
I heard that you'll be representing Min Joon Gook's case.
That's...
- I didn't have a choice in the matter. - This is actually good.
It's a relief.
Excuse me?
I was actually worried about what to do if Attorney Shin took the case.
Because had it been him, before putting his coworkers first
he would've gone off about being an attorney and took Min Joon Gook's side
without even hearing me out first. Right?
But I know you're not like that.
I know that you're on my side.
Aren't you?
You believe me, don't you?
Yes.
I believe you.
Thank you.
I know that you're on my side.
Aren't you?
There's been a situation, so I don't think you'll be able to interview
Defendant Min Joon Gook today.
What kind of a situation?
He attempted suicide just a little bit ago.
What?
It must've angered them to see an ex-convict like myself seeking redemption.
I wanted to go see Attorney Jang Hye Sung
and Park Soo Ha to beg them for their forgiveness when I was released.
That I'd live a better life from now on....
and that they not be afraid of me anymore. That's what I wanted to tell them.
But my existence alone was a a terrorizing fear for them.
I wanted to relay my sincerity to them somehow.
If I couldn't relay it to them directly
I at least wanted to relay it to them indirectly.
That's why I went to see Attorney Jang Hye Sung's mother.
I thought my sincerity towards her mother...
would somehow find its way to transfer itself to her daughter, Attorney Jang.
Fortunately enough, her mother was able to realize how I really felt
and instead of treating me like a beast, she treated me like another human being.
Maybe I really did kill her mother.
Even while knowing that she often collapsed from a heart arrhythmia
I didn't stay by her side to protect her.
I should've been quicker to save her, but I was already too late.
And thus, once again... once again, I've become a murder.
If there's any way I can take the label 'murder' off of my gravestone...
I wouldn't consider my life was being wasted.
I know that her mother who's no longer here will understand how I feel.
The one and only person in this world who treated me with warmth and kindness...
I now follow in her footsteps... into the next world.
Are you Attorney Cha Gwan Woo?
Yes.
How are you feeling?
Are you well enough to speak?
Yes, I can.
I...
don't believe this letter.
I think even your suicide attempt was just a show.
If you had really wanted to kill yourself...
you should've attempted to do it at night instead of in the middle of the day.
Yes, I guess you can think that.
I...
I think very fondly of Attorney Jang Hye Sung.
That's why I have no confidence to stand by yourself and defend your case.
It doesn't matter.
Why me?
Why did it have to be me!
Because she won't believe any other attorneys.
If you declare my innocence when you're not even on my side...
then...
Attorney Jang will have to believe me.
How was the relationship between Min Joon Gook and Eo Chun Shim?
Right there. Can you replay that again?
Whatever your thoughts are about getting revenge on Min Joon Gook...
don't ever do it.
Okay?
What are you doing? Hurry up and answer me.
What if...
Min Joon Gook tries to do something to you?
I still don't want you to do it.
Because I'll take care of myself.
You said the trial was at 10 o'clock, right?
Mom, don't worry.
Attorney Cha will remain on our side.
I believe in Attorney Cha.
You're going to be late.
- We'd better go. - Okay.
What's wrong?
Min Joon Gook is in there, isn't he?
It feels the same as it did ten years ago.
Doesn't it?
After having been released from prison...
the defendant still harbored resentment against Jang Hye Sung
for testifying against him on a murder charge in a courtroom ten years ago
and he moved in on the victim, Eo Chun Shim, the mother of Jang Hye Sung
by lying about his real identity.
The defendant took advantage of the victim when she was unsuspecting of any danger
then knocked her unconscious with the use of a blunt instrument to her head
and attempted to disguise it as an accident by setting fire to the property.
Not only that, he carried the deceased out of the fire under the pretense of rescuing her
and tried to cover up him own crime.
Therefore, the defendant Min Joon Gook...
under the Penal Code, Article 250, pursuant to Section 64...
he is charged with one count murder, one count arson, and murder by arson.
Counsel.
Please stand up and state your plea.
Counsel.
No...
What's wrong?
Counsel.
Do you accept the charges?
No.
We deny... all the charges.
The defendant...
pleads...
not guilty.
Are you crazy? How can you say that he's innocent?
Attorney Jang, please calm down and listen to me for a minute.
How can you think that he's innocent?
He sought out and went after my mom in an attempt to get revenge against me.
He said he wanted to beg for forgiveness.
He said he went to see your mother because he didn't think you'd forgive him.
Forgiveness?
Does a person seeking forgiveness go around killing people?
- It was an accident. - Accident?
You think that even makes any sense?
There's no evidence indicating that it was murder.
The forensics results showed that it was not a deliberate act of arson.
It was an accidental fire caused by the hot oil fumes.
There's not even any security camera footage.
It's not that there's not any footage, but I'm sure it couldn't tape any footage
since the security camera was broken.
Did you even see what the last image that the CCTV captured before it broke?
It was an image of Min Joon Gook walking towards it to disable it.
How are you going to explain that one?
We don't know if he disabled it or not.
Take your feelings out of it and think about this logically.
This is just an extremely unfortunate accident for both you and Min Joon Gook.
How are you going to explain the head wound on my mom's head?
I heard that she had heart arrhythmia.
She hit her head when she fainted and collapsed from a dizzy spell.
She fainted because Min Joon Gook hit her.
Min Joon Gook smashed her head in with a heavy object and knocked her out.
Then he started the fire by turning up the games flames under the oil tub...
and when he was sure that she was dead
he ran in there under pretense to save her to put on a show.
And you're playing along into his plans right now.
Yeah, it could've happened the way he described it.
But she also could've collapsed from a heart arrhythmia attack
and may have died from the fumes and the fire because she wasn't able to turn the burner off.
Right?
Please don't do this, Attorney Cha.
If there's any doubt of the client's innocence
then I have to do whatever I can to help the defendant.
That's the way of the law.
You can't be doing this to me.
Attorney Jang. Please reconsider it.
It could be a huge misunderstanding of Min Joon Gook on your part.
That's enough.
You're supposed to be on my side.
That misunderstanding... can ruin a person's life.
Please... that's enough.
Yes, sir.
I'm calling about the case file on Park Joo Hyuk's murder from ten years ago.
I was wondering if I can get a copy of it.
I'm sure you may not have it anymore...
but I thought that I should still ask.
Yes.
If you happen to find it, please make sure to send it to me.
Yes.
I'll look through it quietly and return it back to you.
Thank you.
Hello?
Attorney Jang is at a court hearing.
Yes, I understand.
Is Attorney Jang not coming into the office today?
She said she was going to go home right after her court hearing.
Attorney Cha.
Are you okay?
Attorney Shin.
I...
I feel like a guard...
protecting an evil king.
- You're cleaning? - Yeah.
- What are those dishes doing there? - I'm going to wash them.
I'll help you.
Go back to your own house now, Soo Ha.
Why?
What do you mean, why?
Min Joon Gook is back in jail. There's no reason for you to be here anymore.
No.
I'm not leaving.
I hate everyone right now.
I hate both you and Attorney Cha.
I even want to pick a fight with this dirty dishrag right now.
I want to be alone, so leave while I'm still being nice to you.
No.
Are you a child? Do you not understand what I'm saying?
I don't know what I may end up saying to you.
That's right, I am a child.
I don't understand because I'm a child, so go ahead and say it.
Say whatever it is you want to say.
I blame you thousands, tens of thousands of times a day.
That this is because I testified for you in that courtroom ten years ago...
and that this is all your fault!
Why? Want to hear even more?
Go ahead.
I'll listen to it all.
Say it.
You can swear at me, too. I'll stay by your side and listen to it all.
Soo Ha.
Yeah?
That's cooking oil.
Ah.
Did you read the judge's thoughts during the trial?
Yeah.
Which side is he leaning on?
Guilty or not guilty?
He's split 51-49.
What does is the 51 percent?
Not guilty.
I can do it.
I can't do it.
I can do it.
I can't do it.
I can do it.
I can do this.
My mom's still uncomfortable about seeing you.
If you have something to say to me, you can say it out here.
Min Joon Gook's trial...
how do you think it'll go?
To be honest, it doesn't look very good.
All we've got is circumstantial evidence and no direct evidence.
And with even those, Attorney Cha has been attacking them.
You know who Min Joon Gook is, don't you?
Yeah, I know.
If it had been you who testified in that courtroom and not me...
then it would've been you and not me that would've worn the funeral clothes.
I want to catch him as much as you do.
- But the evidence... - Then falsify it.
Have you gone crazy?
Jang Hye Sung.
Please.
Please help me, Do Hyun.
I never knew a day like this would come.
I never knew a day would come when I'd kneel down in front of you and beg you for help.
But I've already sold my pride, and I've got nothing left.
I'll sell whatever I have to sell...
because I have to catch him.
I'll do anything you tell me to do.
Everything I've said all these years...
and even for what happened ten years ago.
If you want me to apologize for it, then I'll apologize.
Whatever it is...
it's all my fault, and I'm sorry for everything.
So, please catch him and put him away.
You're a prosecutor.
Threaten him, falsify evidence, do whatever it is that you have to do.
The bastard that killed my mom...
he can't get away with this.
That apology...
do you really mean it?
Father.
The apology that you just made...
did you really mean it?
Mom...
I'm sorry.
Yes.
I was wrong to do what I did.
So, please help me.
If I was the judge in that courtroom...
I would've declared him not guilty.
And if I was the prosecutor...
I would've created more evidence.
Create evidence?
Creating physical evidence from nothing is difficult.
However...
Creating a story that never existed is rather easy.
I've already met with all the witnesses and other people he's encountered.
The homeowner, the police... and even the minister.
They only had nothing but good things to say about Min Joon Gook.
You have to find someone who may have something to lose.
Someone who'll gain something for testifying in the courtroom.
What do you mean, gain something?
During the time that Min Joon Gook was in jail...
have you looked into finding out who else was in there with him?
No, I haven't gotten around to that yet.
How do you know about Min Joon Gook, Attorney Shin?
He used to be the cellmate of someone I know.
I think I may be able to find him.
Mon Joon Gook's old cellmate.
If he's a prison inmate...
I'm sure he'll be dying for a parole.
I'll put in a good word to the warden.
So use that as leverage to make a deal.
You're not...
implying that I get him to perjure himself?
If that's what it takes to catch the killer, then that's what has to be done.
But committing perjury...
That's what you did ten years ago.
I didn't see it.
No, I couldn't see it.
How can I see it when I didn't even do it?
I saw it.
I saw Hye Sung shooting the firecracker at me.
If you're sure he's the killer, and there's a way to catch him...
you have to be willing to do whatever it takes.
What do you think?
Don't you...
agree with me?
Yes.
It's the blankets today?
How is it that the only person I have to lean on in this situation is Seo Do Hyun?
How is it that my opponent in this situation is Attorney Cha?
How does that make any sense?
You went to see Seo Do Hyun?
Yeah.
I went and begged her.
I sank low enough to get down on my knees and beg her to help put Min Joon Gook away.
That's not all.
I even took the blame and apologized for the firecracker incident ten years ago.
Wash your feet before you get in.
If you just get in right now, you'll get the blankets even more dirty.
Joon Gook...
killed someone?
Yes.
He's been charged for the murder of Attorney Jang Hye Sung's mother.
You were Min Joon Gook's cellmate, were you not?
Has Min Joon Gook mentioned anything about Attorney Jang Hye Sung...
during the time that you shared your cell with him?
Yes, there is.
He has mentioned her...
but all he said was that he owed her a debt.
He never said much else other than that.
There's no way he could've done it.
Joon Gook is a very nice and sweet guy.
It has to be a misunderstanding on your part.
- Sir? - Yes?
- I need a moment of privacy. - Okay.
When you were arrested 25 years ago... you lost your daughter, right?
Excuse me?
Don't you want to get out of here so that you can search for her?
Is there a way for me to get out of here?
That all depends on how you answer the questions I'm about to ask you.
So...
you're going to go testify at Min Joon Gook's trial?
- Tiffany. - Yes.
I think I'm being brought in as a witness for the prosecutor at the next hearing.
Gu Hara.
Why are you standing in as a witness for the prosecutor so out of the blue?
Didn't you say that Min Joon Gook was a good guy?
Sandra Park.
Yes, but after I thought about it...
I realized that I may have been wrong about him.
There's something... dark and sinister about him.
Why are you staring at me like that?
It's your turn. I just said Sandra Park.
IU.
I said, IU.
If the testimony goes well today...
we'll be able to get a guilty verdict.
I took your side because you were right.
You've always been right.
Just like your father.
I'm right this time too, right?
Tell me that I'm right.
Attorney Shin... what are you doing here?
I thought you didn't have any court hearings today.
That's... we're here to support you at the trial today.
I know that today's trial is the last chance to make an argument.
I came because... I have something I wanted to ask you.
What's that?
What is it that you asked Hwang Dal Joong to do for you in the courtroom today?
Ask him?
I didn't ask him to do anything.
Have you asked him to do something that you shouldn't have asked...
in your attempt to capture Min Joon Gook and put him away?
I told you that I didn't.
Why are you two acting like this again?
The hearing is about to start. Why don't you go on ahead, Attorney Jang.
And what if I did?
If it means I can catch the killer, there's nothing I wouldn't be able to do.
Attorney Jang.
Does this mean that you're not going to follow the rules?
By following the rules, I'll lose everything.
Don't you know that if you break the rules, you'll pay an even bigger price for it?
No, I don't know.
Have you ever been victimized before?
In this country, a victim can do nothing.
I never got to ask Min Joon Gook why he killed my mother.
Because the victim isn't allowed to see the defendant.
In the courtroom, the judge listens to Min Joon Gook's words more than mine.
When the victim can't even breath from all the injustice!
But there's not a single thing that I can do about it.
Innocent plea? Rules of rationality?
That's all dog shit.
Now that I'm the victim...
all those rules and measures means nothing more than dog shit.
And all the attorneys are sons of bitches.
And I'm a dog shit of an attorney just like the rest of them.
Are you okay?
Yoo Chang.
If Min Joon Gook gets acquitted with an innocent verdict...
do you think Attorney Jang will remain an attorney?
Please swear in the witness.
- I pledge that I will not hide... - Witness.
Please say it in a louder voice.
I pledge.
I pledge not to hide or falsify anything against the court of law...
What is the judge currently thinking?
Is he thinking that he's guilty?
I swear to accept any and all punishment shall I be guilty of committing perjury.
Then not guilty?
Fifty-fifty?
Then we're fine.
Since the last testimony is on our side, I'm sure we can get a guilty verdict.
Prosecutor?
You may start your line of questioning.
The witness once shared the same cell with the defendant. Is that correct?
Yes.
Have you ever heard the defendant mention anything about Attorney Jang Hye Sung?
He said he owed her a debt...
and I saw him gathering information on Attorney Jang Hye Sung.
From what you witnessed, what did you think was the debt that he owed?
Revenge.
What made you think that?
He said he wanted to kill her.
That's what he told me.
He said he was going to kill her once he was released from prison.
I never said that!
Your honor.
As you've just heard...
in his resentment against the victim's daughter, Jang Hye Sung
he has been plotting his revenge against her for the past ten years.
Although all the other witnesses has stated that the defendant was a nice man...
but that was nothing but a facade that he put on to carry out his revenge.
A very clever and tightly woven plan.
There's not a single person who has seen the real image of the defendant.
The reason being...
the defendant has always kept an angelic mask on over his face
and the moment anyone caught the real image of him behind that mask...
he killed that person.
Mr. Park Joo Hyuk from ten years ago, and also...
the current victim, Eo Chun Shim included.
If he's given the innocent verdict...
he may end up killing more innocent people who sees the real him behind that mask.
All this time, the law failed to recognize the real image of the defendant...
and shut its eyes against seeing the truth.
And because of that, the lives of many people had been sacrificed.
It is now time for the law to open up its eyes...
and protect Jang Hye Sung who may very likely become his next victim.
I guess he's good as guilty now.
No, it's just the opposite.
If anything...
the witness just ruined the prosecution's stand.
Counsel. You may now cross examine.
You spent quite a few years sharing the same cell with the defendant. Is that correct?
Yes.
Then you must know the defendant very well.
If you had to depict the defendant...
is he a smart and clever person, or is he a dumb and dim witted person?
I would say that he's rather smart.
You seem to share the prosecutor's opinion.
But don't you find it strange?
Why would someone that smart and clever tell you everything about what he was about to do?
Wouldn't you say that's very dumb and dim-witted?
Well that's...
Now that I think about it, he's not that clever of a person.
Ah... then he's not that clever?
That's even weirder.
According to what the prosecutor thinks, this crime was a very carefully planned crime.
It's not a crime that could've been committed by anyone who's dim-witted.
Then does that mean that the defendant...
is clever...
or dim-witted?
Attorney Cha is... putting the prosecutor through a wringer.
It doesn't matter if you don't answer.
Because no matter which way you decide to answer the question...
you've just shown us that the defendant cannot be the killer.
Witness.
Did the defendant really share his plan of committing the crime with you?
Excuse me?
I don't... really remember.
Witness.
You've just sworn that you would not commit perjury in this courtroom.
I will ask you one more time.
Did the defendant really ever tell you that he was going to kill Jang Hye Sung?
No... I don't think so.
No, he did not.
I rest my case.
Does the prosecutor have any further questions?
Witness.
Your responses are very different than when I interviewed you.
Please tell us the truth.
Has Min Joon Gook ever told you that he was going to kill Jang Hye Sung or not?
Witness!
Answer the question!
Prosecutor. Stop badgering the witness.
I guess there's nothing I can do.
I have no other choice but to declare him not guilty.
Kiddo...
I guess even all these morons in here are on my side once again.
If I get declared not guilty and I get to walk out of here...
next up...
is you and that bitch's turn.
Attorney Jang, are you okay?
What's going to happen to Min Joon Gook?
If he is declared not guilty, he should be released on the day of the sentencing.
But don't worry.
The prosecutor can appeal the verdict, and if he's found guilty in the second...
When is the sentencing?
I heard it was the third of next month.
Next month... on the third.
Hey, Hye Sung!
Can't you ever come the first time I call you?
I can hear a sound coming out of there, but why won't it turn on?
Is it broken?
Oh my goodness.
Oh my goodness... I can't believe you fixed the computer with a single finger.
You're like Bill Gates.
Maybe you should go into computers instead of the law.
Don't you think that you should at least put some basic makeup on when going to a wedding?
It's not like I'm the one getting married.
What do you think?
Oh my goodness. You did this?
Wow... you're like Picasso.
Maybe you should switch over to art school.
What?
That's really nice.
Aren't you going to eat? You haven't eaten anything all day.
Are you asleep?
[I'm out in front of your house. I'll wait out here until you come out.]
You're here.
Is Attorney Jang okay?
She's hanging in there.
But it might be hard to see her for a while.
I don't know how to fix this.
But I can't give up on her like this.
Attorney Jang really likes you.
What?
She likes you very much, and that's why this is so hard for her.
So give her time and wait for her... and protect her.
I thought...
that you didn't even like me.
I have to get back inside.
You...
also blame me for defending Min Joon Gook, don't you?
No.
You did the right thing.
What?
If anything, I'm rather grateful to you.
Thank you...
for giving me the chance.
[Day of the sentencing]
- Go Sung Bin? - Here.
- Kim Choong Ki. - Here.
- Lee Jung Woon. - Here.
Park Soo Ha.
Here.
Teach!
Go Sung Bin just spoke for Park Soo Ha.
What?
- Then Park Soo Ha is absent? - Yes, he's absent.
That jerk.
Park Soo Ha, that scoundrel. His attendance is a joke these days.
He apparently doesn't take school seriously just because he gets decent grades.
When that incident happened ten years ago...
I was actually really terrified.
But I testified because of what you said.
Because you told me that I was always right.
And that seemed like the right thing to do at the time.
But I guess I was wrong.
Life isn't a fairytale.
I should've ran away like Do Hyun did.
Right?
I'm sorry, Mom.
How did you know that I was here?
I got a quick read of your thoughts this morning.
Are you not going into the office today?
If you're not going to go... then I want you to come with me somewhere.
Where?
The place we were trying to go, but didn't get to go the last time.
Why the aquarium? It's not like we're a couple of kids.
I finally got to come on my fourth attempt.
Why did it take you four tries?
First, I was supposed to come with my dad, but couldn't because he passed away.
Then I was supposed to come when I was in middle school, but I got sick, so I couldn't.
The last time was when we were supposed to come here after Grandfather Lee's trial...
but we didn't make it then either.
I was going to go.
But you're the one who bailed out on me.
You didn't answer your phone either.
Is that what happened?
But why did you want to come here?
You know that my world is noisier than other people's.
I thought that it would be quiet in here.
And peaceful.
You're right, it is.
It's very calm in here.
As if nothing bad ever happened.
I packed up all my stuff and moved out of your house.
What?
Don't worry.
Min Joon Gook won't ever hurt you again.
So you can relax.
How would you know that?
I heard his thoughts during the trial.
So you can trust in that.
Is that why...
you wanted to come here?
Did you bring me here to say your goodbyes?
Yeah.
And...
there are a few things I needed to tell you before I left.
This feels weird... what is this?
Are you planning on never seeing me again?
I'm a junior in high school. I have to concentrate on my studies.
Okay.
What is it that you have to tell me?
It's about your mother.
Until the very last moment... she was very proud of you.
What?
I saw it in Min Joon Gook's thoughts during the trial.
You should at least know why you're dying before you die.
It's because your bitch of a daughter.
She stuck her nose in and testified against me in that courtroom ten years ago.
That's why you're dying. You know that?
Don't you regret it?
Yeah, I do regret it.
I had been so blind to my own daughter.
Had I known how brave she was...
I should've praised her more...
and complimented her more.
But I've been too harsh and rough on her.
She said she'll be dancing up in heaven.
She wanted you to know that.
My mom is always talking about that dragon.
So... don't be so hard on yourself.
Thank you.
Thanks you for telling me.
And about Attorney Cha...
Don't be so hard on him.
It's only because he really likes you.
He really believes that Min Joon Gook is innocent.
He thinks that you're mistaken about what happened.
I think he wanted to help you see that you were mistaken.
Because he doesn't know the real truth.
And from his point of view, he did the best that he could.
I know.
And...
Although I'm sure you're fully aware of this...
but you really like him, too.
That's why this is so difficult for you right now.
So...
don't stay in hiding for too long, and just accept him.
That's the best thing for both of you.
I've said all I had to say, so I'm going to get going.
Take care.
What?
Oh...
Hey, Soo Ha.
Well, um...
Never mind.
Take care.
Thanks for everything you've done.
Study hard, okay?
There's...
one other thing that you need to know.
Shall we finish up that date we never got to go on last time?
How about tonight?
Sure, why not?
Wait, I can't.
Why not?
I already have plans.
I made Soo Ha a promise earlier.
Can't you reschedule it?
No, I can't do that.
He'll be really disappointed if I cancel out on him.
I'm sorry for having to do this to you all the time.
But... my promise to Soo Ha comes first.
