The one who started all this...
wasn't me.
It was your father!
So that was it.
The memory that I wanted to erase.
Erasing it isn't going to make it go away.
What should I do with you?
Once you find out this truth, I'm sure you'll come to blame me again.
Once you find out that Min Joon Gook is still alive...
I wonder how afraid you'll be.
Min Joon Gook is still alive.
Soo Ha didn't kill him.
I knew it. He kept his promise that he made with me.
Hello?
Hey, where are you right now?
Are you at home?
No.
I'm out right now.
Min Joon Gook is still alive.
Seo Do Hyun and Attorney Cha just found out about that.
Okay.
What kind of a response is that? I just told you that Min Joon Gook is alive.
You're totally guilt free now. You don't need to go to the retrial.
If he's still alive...
it means that you're in danger.
Hey, you dummy! That's a problem for down the road.
Seo Do Hyun said she's not going to take you to a retrial.
I heard her say it myself. So, you're no longer a defendant...
Hey, you...
You're the dummy.
When your life has been put back in danger...
how can my being found innocent come first?
How can you be like this?
Thanks.
Thanks for keeping your promise.
Since you're totally guilt free now... nothing can hold you back now.
You can enroll in lesson schools, and prepare yourself for your GED exams.
You have to catch up on everything that you've missed out in the past year, okay?
Okay.
I've already enrolled in the lesson school.
And I've applied for the GED exam, too.
I actually have a GED, too.
Now that I think about it, you and I have a lot in common.
Yeah.
What about your memories?
Are they still not back yet?
Not yet.
I see.
Anyways, you know what happens when your memories return, right?
When that happens, you have to keep your promise, okay?
You can't come looking for me ever again, okay?
- Why is that necessary? - What do you mean, why?
It's because we'll no longer have any reason to stay together.
I was your guardian, and your attorney.
But now that you're guilt free, and when your memories return...
you need to start living your own life.
Instead of latching onto me like this.
Latch onto you?
I... do that to you?
I wonder if I was too harsh?
No, I did the right thing.
The nicer I remain to him, the harder it will be for me to shut off my feelings for him.
My feelings?
What I said isn't wrong.
You're latching yourself onto me right now.
I should be able to shut off my feelings for him, shouldn't I?
I can't let him realize how I feel for him until he leaves...
and I should be able to put an end to how I feel about him.
Can't be.
Do you...
still not like me and find me bothersome?
Yeah. I don't like you.
I like you.
You...
really want me to leave?
Yeah.
I wish you would.
I want to ask you to remain with me by my side.
Even though your lips were telling me lies...
your eyes were telling me the truth.
Even though your eyes were telling me the words ...
I've been wanting to hear that for the past 11 years...
but in order for me to remain by your side
I had to pretend that I didn't hear those words.
Episode 13. [Words I longed to say, but didn't get to say.]
What are you doing here?
Attorney Jang.
I heard what happened.
I heard that Min Joon Gook is still alive.
First, we're planning on adding additional security cameras around this area.
We're going to add some additional security cameras
over here by this streetlamp, and down below by the street corner.
I wonder if two will be enough?
It makes me nervous not to have any cameras up at the end of the street.
We were barely able to get authorized for these two security cameras.
What should I do?
Ugh, whatever.
I'll just let the captain ream me out later.
We'll install one up there as well.
Thank you.
- Thank you for all your concern. - No, not at all!
It's just part of our job!
I'm sorry for all the misunderstanding.
We'll tighten up the security around here, so don't worry too much.
Okay.
Does losing your memory change your personality, too?
Huh?
You just seem so much gentler than you used to be.
Maybe... even more rational?
Really?
If by any chance...
Even if you were to run into Min Joon Gook...
don't let your emotions get in the way, and remain rational like you are now.
Don't ever think of facing him on your own
and either report him to the police, or run away from him. Okay?
I don't want to see his life get ruined because of that jerk again.
Okay.
Now that I think about it, it's a little strange.
Why are you speaking to me in informal speech all of a sudden?
Huh?
That's...
You don't like hearing me speak to you in informal speech?
Do whatever you want. Use whatever makes you more comfortable.
Then, I'll use informal speech with you from now on.
Whatever.
If...
you find out that my father is the one who started all this...
I doubt you'll ever want to see me again, would you?
Why is she calling at this hour?
Hello?
It's me.
I know.
I've requested for additional security watch to be added to your home.
I also told them to install some extra security cameras, too.
I know.
Did you call just to brag about your good deed?
Call me right away if you happen to see anything suspicious.
Why?
Are you worried that Min Joon Gook is going to come get me?
Not at all.
Why would I be worried about you?
It's because I want to be the one to catch Min Joon Gook.
I'm sure you do. Since you're so result driven.
Anyways, thank you so much.
Now that the prosecutor is finally stepping up and doing something to catch Min Joon Gook.
I'm so grateful that I don't even know what to say.
Don't even think about taking care of this on your own when you're not even capable.
I'm hanging up.
Hwang Dal Joon?
You're Seo Dae Suk's daughter, aren't you?
What are you doing?
How did you get here?
Did you get released?
Call Seo Dae Suk out here.
Call Seo Dae Suk out here right now!
Look here! What do you think you're doing!
Get away from me!
Mom! Mom, hurry up and get out here. Hurry!
Do Hyun! What is it? What's going on out there?
Honey! Hurry up and get out here!
Hey.
Are you sick?
Wake up, Hwang Dal Joon.
Hwang Dal Joon!
- Honey! - What is it?
What's going on?
What's wrong with him? Is he dead?
No, I think he just fainted.
Mom, call 911.
Hello?
Is this 911? Someone's fainted out here.
Yes, our address is...
Yes.
We won't know the details until he gets the MRI.
But according to the current CT Scan, it looks like a brain tumor.
It doesn't seem like a surgery is an option for him any longer.
So, does that mean... he doesn't have many days left to live?
Yes, at most... he may have 3 to 4 months.
Then I wonder if he was released on stay of sentencing.
But... why did he come to see you as soon as he was released?
Prosecutor Seo. Is Hwang Dal Joon in here?
Yes, Inspector Kang. He's at this hospital.
What's wrong with this guy?
It wasn't enough that he stabbed someone as soon as he was released from prison
but he went to see you, too?
He stabbed someone?
Oh my goodness.
Goodness... I can't believe he did that as soon as he was released from prison.
Why?
We won't know why he did it until we question him.
Let's go in.
Are you leaving for work?
Yeah.
What about breakfast?
I'm not hungry.
I'm leaving.
Sit down.
Have some breakfast before you go.
What?
I know that you're avoiding me because you're uncomfortable with me.
I'll leave and stay out of the house.
Stop making excuses, and eat your breakfast.
Hey.
Are you treating me like a kid just because you're speaking to me in informal speech?
If you're going to be like this, stop talking to me in informal speech.
- What? What is it? - A cockroach!
- Where? Where is it? - Over there!
Those... look like watermelon seeds.
What total and utter humiliation.
What should I do?
I'll leave you alone, so hurry up and eat your breakfast.
I'll take you to the office.
I should tell him that there's no need for him to take me.
But I can't even tell him that because of Min Joon Gook.
What am I so pathetic?
My lesson school is nearby your office.
I'll come pick you up at the end of the day.
Okay.
Go eat your breakfast.
Soo Ha.
Let's have breakfast together.
I can just tell him to leave once he gets his memory back.
Let's not force him out of my life just yet.
What is your trial about this time?
It's a homicide case where the wife killed her abusive husband.
I'm going to see if I can plead her case as self-defensive.
Is there a chance?
It's almost impossible.
It's difficult to win a case on a self-defense plea in our country.
Then why are you doing it?
That's what the defendant wants.
If I try bloody hard and give it my best, I might be able to get that for her.
Don't say things like 'bloody hard' when we're trying to eat.
You can just say that you're going to try hard.
What should I do about Attorney Cha?
He worked so hard to help Soo Ha.
I wonder if buying him a meal would be enough?
It makes me uncomfortable to have to keep running into him.
I have something to ask you.
What does Attorney Cha like?
Huh? Why are you asking me that all of a sudden?
I wanted to get him a gift.
I know how hard he worked for me to get me cleared of my charges.
I don't think it's right not to do anything when he worked so hard to help me out.
I feel like I need to repay him somehow.
You want to?
I'm not sure. I'm trying to remember what he likes.
I think he mentioned that he likes hiking.
Hiking?
Can I help you find something?
What's the nicest thing that you have in the store?
Give me something that would really impress someone.
What about these?
Even though it's a little expensive, any avid hikers would love a pair of these.
I don't need to hear any explanation.
Just make sure that you include the price sticker when you wrap it up.
Yes, I understand.
Thank you for everything.
For all you've done to get me cleared of my charges.
What's this?
I heard that you liked to hike, so I got you some hiking gear.
I know that this isn't enough to pay for the retainer fee.
If you really need it, I'll pay you back in due time.
Thanks.
Forget about the retainer.
In exchange...
just wish me luck.
Wish you luck with what?
I'm on my way to apply for a public defense attorney position.
There's an opening for a public defense attorney position in the city of Yeonjoo.
I think it's time for me to get my rightful place back.
You remember what I told you, don't you?
Yes, I remember.
I'm glad that you remember.
Aren't you going to wish me luck?
Do you think that I'd want to?
That's what I thought.
Soo Ha...
stop pretending to be an adult, but actually act like an adult.
Just because you put on a suit doesn't mean that you're an adult.
What is this all about!
Attempted murder?
Yes.
I should've killed her.
But I didn't kill her.
What kind of a saying is that?
You barely managed to get out of there, and then you go around and stab someone?
It was her.
It was the same person whom I supposedly killed 26 years ago.
What?
Can you believe that?
My wife is still alive.
I...
I even thought that maybe it's possible that I had done it...
when I was indicted guilty of my crime 26 years ago.
I thought that maybe I may have been drunk enough
to have lost my mind to have killed her so viciously like that.
But...
that wasn't the case.
That wasn't the case.
Twenty-six years!
I've been rotting away in here for the past 26 years for something I didn't even do.
Half of my life...
was wasted away in here...
So is that...
Is that...
why you stabbed her?
Yes.
She was supposed to be dead anyways.
It wasn't a human being that I stabbed... but a mere ghost that I stabbed.
So I'm...
I'm innocent.
That's why...
I need you to get me an innocent verdict.
You have to!
My goodness.
You're saying that someone who was supposed to have died 26 years ago is still alive?
Yes.
That's what they're claiming, but I think it's all bunch of hogwash.
How can that be?
But... why did he kill his wife twenty-six years ago?
I think she had an affair with another man.
And she was always talking about running away because her husband had a lot of debts.
I can't believe that man either.
If he's spent the past twenty-six years of his life in jail...
he should live the rest of his life more peacefully.
Why did he have to go and stab someone like that?
Just because you put the devil in different clothing
it doesn't turn the devil into an angel.
He's just a born criminal.
I guess you're' right.
Then are you prosecuting that case?
Yes.
Even though it'll be tough... I think it'll also be interesting.
Hi, Director Jang.
It's me, Seo Dae Suk.
I called because I have a favor to ask of you.
It's nothing too special.
It's about Hwang Dal Joong's case.
Can you reassign the case to someone else other than to my daughter?
I also...
want to get you the innocent verdict.
But...
How am I going to do that? When you stabbed a person.
Let's tell them that you're repenting what you've done...
and ask them for leniency.
And once you've been released on stay of sentencing...
I don't need any of that.
I don't have a lot of time left to live anyways.
I'm...
innocent.
Please plead my innocence!
The defendant, Shim Hwal Do
held a deep seeded grudge against Gu Sang Man for domestic abuse
and has endured the long history agony of repeated domestic abuse.
Around the time of 9 o'clock on the evening of June 30th, 2013
under the reasoning that the dinner wasn't ready on time
the victim struck the defendant in her face and abdomen with his fists and feet.
Thus, she became enraged...
She became so enraged...
that the defendant made an attempt to murder the victim...
by wielding a kitchen knife that's 16cm in length
and inflicted a cut on the victim's neck that's 2cm in length
and a wound that's 7cm in length to his abdomen.
Thus, as according to the Criminal Code, Article 250, Paragraph 1...
I hereby charge the defendant with the crime of an attempted murder.
Counsel.
Please make your plea.
We do admit that the statements made in regards to the charges are true.
However...
the defendant pleads not guilty for the crime was committed as a way of self-defense.
If the odds are 20 against one...
I wonder if the odds are better than it was the last time.
The defendant is claiming that the crime was committed as self-defense...
but the defendant's action wasn't self-defense, but it was an attack.
The fact that she stabbed in the neck with her knife supports that fact even more.
Even just the fact alone that the victim's injuries are more severe than the defendant's
makes it difficult to be seen as an act of self-defense.
She picked up that knife because the victim's hand was his weapon.
The victim is a former volleyball player.
From that, after years of suffering from repeated violent acts of domestic abuse
the defendant is suffering from 'Punch Drunk Syndrome'.
It's a condition that only those who's been hit on their head repeatedly suffers from.
So without any consideration to such psychological damage that she's endured
can we really say that the victim's injuries are greater than that of the defendant?
Before she wielded that knife towards the victim
she should've either called out to her neighbors or the police for help.
And if she had the strength to grab onto that knife
she should've escaped from that situation.
The home that the defendant lives in...
is close enough to their neighbors that they can even hear each other's farts.
She should've used a more reasonable method
rather than using such extreme measures to handle the situation.
The prosecutor just stated that a more reasonable method should've been used.
I did an experiment of that reasonable method that she just spoke of.
This is the front of the victim's house.
I turned on some rock music in front of the victim's house.
Who's that?
Turn off that music!
I'm going to report you to the police!
Within ten seconds, the neighbors were threatening to call the police.
But the thing is...
When I turned on something else other than the music, I noticed a very strange result.
Go on and hit me!
- Go on and hit me! - You wench!
Someone help me! Anyone, please!
This man is trying to kill me!
Someone please call the police!
When I had the music playing...
these neighbors threatened to call the police within ten seconds.
But they all remained silent even after a full minute of the recording was played out.
And even after five minutes have lapsed, there were still no signs of the police.
A more reasonable method?
The defendant already tried that method a countless times.
And every single time, the only response she received was silence and disinterest.
'I'm different than those neighbors'.
'I would've called the police and I would've stepped in to help her myself.'
How much of that are you saying to yourself right now?
I can't do that.
That's why I'm claiming self-defense.
Because there are almost no other methods she could use to defend herself
in the midst of all the silence and disinterest shown to her by others like myself
with just her bare hands alone.
You are at a quite disadvantageous spot.
Even though your record is great, you have a past of already having quit once.
How are we to know that you won't just quit again?
Yes, I'm aware.
But I believe that it could actually be an advantage for me as well.
Why is that?
It's because I no longer have any idealistic fantasies of what a public defender is.
I also know how dangerous it is to be an attorney with...
half-baked ideas and idealisms.
There's someone who made me realize that fact.
And who would that be?
It's Attorney Jang Hye Sung whom I used to work with.
You put on quite the show today.
- With that? - I thought you were Attorney Cha today.
You even brought in that video clip and put on that show for us.
You even made a sloppy attempt at showing your emotions.
When did you start imitating Attorney Cha?
There's another word you can use instead of calling it an imitation.
It's called 'Learning'.
I learned a few things by watching Attorney Cha.
Is learning by example a problem?
After getting to know Attorney Cha...
I realized there's a lot I could learn from him.
Don't you agree?
After having observed Attorney Jang Hye Sung, I've learned much from her.
I've also learned how dangerous it is to trust your defendant so blindly.
I learned how useless a defense lawyer can be...
if he only has compassion, but not the right qualification.
Even though it can be good that you're not disillusioned about what a public defender is
isn't it also a problem not to have any ideals at all either?
Shouldn't you at least have a reason for wanting to do this?
Yes, there is.
For both Attorney Jang Hye Sung and I...
we've both found a irrefutable reason for our need to be public defenders.
As public defendants, Attorney Jang and I saved the life of someone.
We saved an innocent life from rotting away in prison.
But he will now live a normal life amongst other people outside in this world.
His life...
is the reason and the passion
as to why Attorney Jang and I need to be public defenders.
Manager Yang, when is Hwang Dal Joon coming in?
- About that... - Prosecutor Seo.
Hwang Dal Joong's case has been reassigned to me.
What do you mean, it's been reassigned?
Why all of a sudden?
How would I know that? I'm just doing what I'm told to do.
When have we ever been told the reasons for our orders?
I've already put a lot of work into Hwang Dal Joong's case.
Hey, I don't like this either.
Do you think I like all this additional work?
Why did Director do this all of a sudden?
I don't know why either.
But I think your father called him about it.
My father?
Min Joon Gook's former cellmate was...
Hwang Dal Joon?
Stop working on that case.
The verdict is already in. It's already out of your hands anyways.
- But... it's Hye Sung's mom... - If I tell you to stop, then stop.
Is this 911?
Someone's fainted out here.
Yes, the address is...
Yes.
What the heck?
I ran in here to get it, but I still missed the call.
Have you had dinner?
No, not yet.
- I'll get the dinner ready. - You will?
Do you have any dirty laundry?
Yeah, this shirt.
Didn't you take your GED exam today?
Yeah.
How did you do?
Well... I think so.
How much rice do you want?
Hey, what's this?
Don't look at that. Don't look at it!
Give it to me!
The police academy! Hey, you're interested in the police academy?
No, I'm just going to take it for something to do.
For something to do? I heard it's really tough to get in there.
I know. That's why I'm just taking it to see to how it is.
Because it would be humiliating to to fail it if I was serious about it.
You're not going to be humiliated.
If you study hard, I'm sure you'll get into the police academy.
You seem not to know because you don't have your memories right now
but you used to be a really good student.
You can trust me on that because I've seen your grades.
So, don't say that you're just taking it for something to do, but give it a real try.
Okay.
I wonder if it's okay to get used to this.
Later on when I send him away...
I'm sure it'll be really difficult, won't it?
Just like it was a year ago.
What are you thinking about?
Just that...
I hope you get your memories back quickly, and get out of here.
When he's making all this effort...
I wonder if he's still got ways to go before his memories come back.
Hello?
What isn't the person saying anything?
- Are you done in there? - Yeah.
The number you are trying to call cannot be called back...
An untraceable number?
The number you are trying to call cannot be called back...
Please check your number again.
Hello?
To whom am I speaking to? We received call from this number.
Wow, this is so weird!
You can receive a call from the payphone?
This is the payphone?
Yes.
Where is the location? Where is this specific payphone located?
So you're saying that you received a call from this payphone?
Yes.
There's been number of other calls that we've had that's from an untraceable number.
Untraceable number.
Then it means all those calls were from payphones as well.
Who would the calls be from a payphone?
Look, there's a security camera up there.
By any chance... did you write down what time you received the phone call?
Yes.
What time did you say you received the phone call?
The call came in at 9:25 in the morning.
- 9:25... - There it is.
Isn't that Min Joon Gook?
Hey, Office Nam. Hurry up and report this to the station.
Tell them that Min Joon Gook has been sighted.
Okay.
Why did that bastard Min Joon Gook call?
He was just checking.
He called to make sure that Attorney Jang was still living there.
That bastard.
What did you just say?
I asked you for your help.
Who's going to help who?
I want you to help me.
Yoo Chang, did you hear that?
Attorney Shin asked me for my help.
Yes, I heard very clearly.
Hang on a second.
Let me think about it.
Why don't you come sit down and tell me about it?
I'll help me once I hear what it's about and if I deem it's worthy.
Listen...
you know about Hwang Dal Joong's case, don't you?
Yes, I know.
He stabbed someone with a knife as soon as he was released from jail.
My throat is feeling a little dry.
Hey, Yoo Chang.
Can you go and get Attorney Jang something to drink?
Not the vending machine. You know what I like.
And I'm craving something sweet as well.
- Yoo Chang. - Yes?
- I can buy something for me too, right? - What do you think?
So you're saying that you want to plead Hwang Dal Joong's case as a self-defense case?
- Along with my help? - That's right.
Well, I guess. I was pretty impressionable during the trial, wasn't I?
Yeah, you were impressionable alright.
In that case, why don't you give me a brief explanation?
Tell me the key points.
As you you're aware yourself...
Hwang Dal Joon has spent the past 26 years in jail serving his sentence for the crime
of murdering his wife, and was just released from jail.
After he was released from prison, he admitted himself into a hospital.
and then he ran into his wife who was working there as a bedside nurse.
He said he had no intentions of stabbing her at first.
But... the words his wife said to him spurred him on to do it.
I'm sorry.
But...
that was the best thing I could do back then.
I hated you... and I hated all your debts.
I no longer wanted to live as your wife.
I didn't want to raise my daughter in the mountain of all that debt.
So is that why...
you took such drastic measures as to cut off your own hand...
just so that you could lock me up in jail?
Think about it objectively.
I bet it was better that you went to jail than living a life buried under all that debt.
Our daughter...
doesn't know about us and is living a very nice life with a rich family.
Had you raised her yourself... she wouldn't have had such a nice life.
I also met a man who's better than you..
Then Hwang Dal Joon served 26 years in jail for a crime he didn't even commit?
That's right.
How can he be charged for the same crime? He just stabbed an already dead person.
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure about that myself.
Even though according to the law, she already is a dead person...
But what he stabbed was a living person.
But Hwang Dal Joon is claiming his innocence by saying that he only stabbed a ghost.
Even though the chances aren't great...
I still think that it's worth going for a 'not guilty' verdict.
But before you say that, there's one other thing that you should know about.
What's that?
There's no evidence of the victim having been Hwang Dal Joong's ex-wife.
She got herself a brand new identity 26 years ago...
and according to the law, she's a completely different person.
But can't we still identify her by her prints?
She has no fingerprints.
She's worked in kitchens around the hot pots and pans for so long
that all her prints has been just burned off.
Then how are we going to prove that they were former spouses?
We can prove that by finding their daughter and doing a DNA test on her.
Where's the daughter?
That's what we have to find out.
Excuse me?
No matter what the reason, he did still stab someone.
So I wonder if an innocent verdict is even possible?
How do I find the daughter?
Soo Ha.
Why aren't you answering your phone?
You called?
I must've not heard it ring because I had it on silent during the trial.
Why? Is something going on?
Min Joon Gook has been sighted in Yeonjoo.
What?
Min Joon Gook even called the house from a payphone...
to make sure that you still live there.
It's too dangerous to stay in that house now.
Don't go back to that house for a while.
We're going to stay at my house from now on.
Your house?
I'll write down the passcodes for the building and my apartment for you.
Huh?
Oh, okay.
There's a security guard and there are security cameras in every hallway
so it should be safer than your house.
I don't think Min Joon Gook knows about my house yet
so stay here for the time being.
Are the police aware of this?
Yeah.
They said they were going to start the search right away.
That's a relief.
What if Soo Ha is thinking of doing something dangerous and risky again?
He just barely managed to get his life back.
But what if he goes looking for Min Joon Gook to get revenge?
How is that...
I packed up and brought some of your things here.
Let me know if you need anything else, and I'll go get them for you tomorrow.
Forget it.
If I'm in danger, then you're in danger too.
Don't go there.
The police, Prosecutor Seo, and Attorney Cha...
I'm going to go see them all and ask them all for their help.
I won't act rash and go seek him out myself, so you don't need to worry.
Okay.
I'm hungry. Do you have anything to eat here?
No, I don't think there's much in the house.
Want me to go grocery shopping?
It looks like you've got enough to make a simple meal out of.
Just give me a minute. I'll make something for us.
Dog food again?
Just don't ask me for more once you've tried it.
Soo Ha, by any chance...
have you gotten your memories back?
Huh?
No, why?
You just asked me if we're having dog food again.
Doesn't that mean... you remember the last dog food dinner?
I just... had something similar for lunch. That's why I asked you that question.
Did we eat something similar to this in the past?
Huh?
Yeah.
I guess.
There's no way that Soo Ha would lie to me.
He wouldn't do that to me.
Where...
are you all hiding?
What's wrong? Are you feeling off today?
You seem distracted.
- I know. - What's wrong?
Is there something bothering you?
Mom.
You remember that Hwang Dal Joong's case that I mentioned to you before, right?
Oh, yes, I do.
Father called my director and asked him to reassign that case to someone else.
Your father did that?
Why did he do that?
I don't know why he did that myself.
I don't think he'll tell me why he did that even if I would to ask him.
That's so weird of him.
He always gets so sensitive whenever Hwang Dal Joong's name is mentioned.
Wait.
I wonder... if it's the same person?
What do you mean, the same person?
The first case your father took after becoming a judge was a rather difficult case.
It was the case where the culprit murdered and mutilated his wife.
And I think the defendant... had a very similar name as that.
Hwang Ga Young, Hwang Ga Young...
This is a rather sticky situation.
- Why is that? - It was a private adoption.
The adoptive parents was adamant that their information be kept private.
Her birth parent is desperately trying to find her.
And this is also the only method we have of saving that birth parent.
I'm sorry, but these are the rules.
There's no way that I can give you any information.
Let's go.
She says it's the rules to keep the information private.
Yes, I'm sorry I couldn't be more help.
Then I'll... take my leave now.
That was really pathetic.
I know... I know.
- There it is! - There it is.
I'm sure you must've passed.
They wouldn't have sent you the email if you didn't make it.
Hurry up and open it.
- I'm so nervous. - Come on and just open it.
It's okay. I can try again next time.
But I was still very close! I came in at second place.
Second place?
Why did they put that information in there? Are they trying to antagonize you?
Did you not make it?
Park Soo Ha... what are you doing here?
Hey, you didn't wish me luck, did you?
Did you jinx me so that I'd fail?
Because you want me to stay away from Attorney Jang?
Even though I may have felt that way then, that's not how I feel now.
What's with the change in your attitude?
Min Joon Gooks has been sighted in Yeonjoo.
What are you going to do? Are you just going to give up like this?
I'm going to go back and see her.
Instead of jumping on her so tactlessly like someone else did...
I'm going to talk to her and try to convince her with words.
What kind words you say.
I need to go interview my client.
Okay, but when you get back...
can you look and see if you can find any other case similar to this one?
If you can't find any from our country, then search through foreign cases, too.
Okay, I got it.
Attorney Cha!
Are you heading into an interview? I'll come with you.
Do you have an interview today, too?
I thought you didn't have many cases on your desk right now.
I'm going as Attorney Jang's bodyguard.
- Bodyguard? - I heard everything from Soo Ha.
I heard that Min Joon Gook has been sighted?
Whenever you have to go to the courthouse, or the interview, make sure that you call me.
Don't go around by yourself for the time being.
Attorney Cha...
[Prosecutor Seo]
- I'll put all my trust in you. - Yes, of course.
Father!
Funny running into you here.
Don't you have any trials today?
What were you talking to Director Jang about?
It wasn't anything special.
I was here on some other business, and I just happened to run into him.
I doubt that.
You came to make sure that Hwang Dal Joong's case has been reassigned from me, didn't you?
I never made that kind of request of him.
Please stop avoiding my question and just answer me.
Just why it is that I can't take Hwang Dal Joong's case...
I just told you that I never did that.
It can't be.
You just told me that you never made that request, right?
What you just said...
I'll make sure to relay them to my director.
And I...
I'm going to take that case back.
Do Hyun.
- Is your lesson school over? - Yeah.
Just give me a minute. Let me just finish this up.
Take your time. I'll just wait for you.
How nice would it have been if Soo Ha could've read
the mind of that orphanage director's earlier?
Then we would be able to find Hwang Dal Joong's daughter quickly.
No, no.
It's better that he doesn't have that ability.
That ability made him suffer so much.
By the way, Soo Ha...
Did you bring all those post-its that you had put up at my house?
All those notes that you had stuck up on the door of your closet.
No.
Hey, you should've brought those notes.
Let's go get them right now.
Later. I'll go get them later.
Huh?
Okay.
What should I do?
I need to somehow find Hwang Dal Joong's daughter.
Should I just sneak into the orphanage and look at the file?
If I had been a prosecutor, I could get a search warrant.
There's not a single thing I can do as an attorney.
Do you know what kind of a kid you are?
Just so that you can keep a promise that you made me that even I didn't remember...
you spent the past ten years of your life searching for me.
I guess... there's no way that he'd lie to me.
He'd never do that to me.
Why? Do you have something to say?
If I told her the truth...
would she ever look at me that way again?
No, I don't.
That's boring.
Soo Ha.
Right here.
Hey...
I was just saying that you have a pen mark on your face.
Really? Then I guess I must've misunderstood you.
What the heck was that?
Since we've already gone around Attorney Jang's house
why don't we go do a round around Park Soo Ha's house this time?
But...
are there any other people that Min Joon Gook would go after other than those two?
I'm not sure.
If he did, wouldn't he go after Prosecutor Seo Do Hyun?
When I saw her during the case trial, she was really slamming down on Min Joon Gook.
Then... should we drive around Park Soo Ha's house
and drive around her place, too?
Yes.
[Text me if you got home safely.]
- Who are you texting? - Attorney Cha.
He's been really protective of me all day and I feel so bad about it.
I... have something to tell you.
Huh?
What is it?
Long time no see...
Attorney Cha Gwan Woo.
I don't know what you're here to find out about...
but I can't tell you anything.
I didn't come here to find out anything.
But I came because I have something to tell you.
What is it that you have to tell me?
I...
know who Hwang Dal Joong's daughter is.
Really?
Who's that?
It's Prosecutor Seo Do Hyun.
Hey, are you playing with me right now?
That's absolutely absurd.
The judge who presided over that trial 26 years ago was Judge Seo Dae Suk.
The day after Hwang Dal Joong's was given his guilty verdict...
that woman showed up to pay Judge Seo Dae Suk a visit.
That woman?
You mean... Hwang Dal Joong's wife, Jung Young Ja?
You...
you're not dead?
I died so that I could live.
So, that I could live.
How... can this be?
Do you know what you've done?
You've turned your husband into a murderer.
So then...
what shall I do?
Should I go to the police and confess?
I know very well how important this case was to you.
You've even been interviewed and been dubbed as the most stellar judge of our generation.
I also know that someone of your personality to overturn the ruling...
is something that you can't even fathom doing.
I came to see you because I have a request to make of you.
If you'll grant me my request, then I...
I'll live the rest of myself in the shadows with my identity firmly hidden away.
I'll live the rest of life as a ghost so that your name will never get smeared.
- That's absolutely absurd! - Why is that absurd?
As long as that man stays in jail, everyone can live in peace.
You, me...
and also...
even my daughter.
Even...
your daughter?
You don't have any kids, do you?
And you're looking into adopting a child.
I want you to take my daughter.
That's...
the request I have to make of you.
Judge Seo Dae Suk took her offer.
- And his daughter is none other than... - Is Seo Do Hyun?
How can that be?
To ruin a person's life like that...
How can any human being do that?
Hwang Dal Joon has spent half of his life rotting away in that prison.
But how did you know that?
I saw Judge Seo Dae Suk when I stopped by the prosecutor's office earlier.
And...
I saw his eyes.
You saw his eyes?
You're not saying...
Yeah.
That ability came back.
And my memories also came back.

He came to see Attorney Cha?
He says he came to see me because he had something to tell me.
Attorney Cha was attacked by Min Joon Gook.
- What? - I think Min Joon Gook is determined.
We need a definitive proof that the two of you were a married couple.
That's why Attorney Jang and I are searching for your daughter.
- You mean, Ga Young? - When will he regain his consciousness?
Father?
Now that I think about it, I've never once met Attorney Uhm before.
By any chance, are you Attorney Jang?
I like you, Soo Ha. As a brother, as a friend, and also...
