How did your mother pass away?
She passed away about a month after she received her heart transplant.
Her body rejected the transplant.
So, that's why Min Joon Gook was even more angry.
Because the heart that could've saved his wife ended so needlessly like that.
Yeah.
I'm sorry for not telling you.
But the greedier I got, more afraid I became.
I was afraid that I'd lose you.
Do I look like someone who'd abandon you and leave you over something like that?
How many times have I told you?
- That I'm better than most people. - That I'm better than most people.
We were so drunk in our happiness of being alive...
that we had completely forgotten about that piece of truth.
That once Min Joon Gook was captured...
all the secrets that he had kept hidden to himself would be revealed to the world.
And that once his past was revealed...
my past that's been kept in the dark would also be revealed to the world.
Final Episode. [You remain as the shining light in my dark world.]
When are you getting the stitches taken out from your forehead?
I'm getting them taken out today.
But what if it leaves a scar?
You said the doctor was legendary in his ability to get rid of any type of scars.
I'm sure it won't scar.
I hope so.
I thought I had brought all the books, but I guess I didn't.
I have to stop back by my house.
You're going to bring more books over?
Hey, I don't have enough room in my own bookshelf because of all your books.
Get rid of the books that you're not reading.
But anyways... why is it that you want to live here?
Your house is bigger and nicer than mine.
Then, why don't you come live with me at my house?
Hey, you seem to have forgotten something.
But the reason why we even started living together was because of Min Joon Gook.
But now that he's locked up in jail...
there's no reason for us to live together anymore.
There is a reason.
And what would that be?
What are you doing?
Why is your reasoning so perverted?
This. This thing here. This is the reason.
Anyways, you have to keep your boundaries as long as you're living in this house, okay?
Is the Police Academy entrance exam tomorrow?
Yeah.
How do you feel?
I'll know after the exam tomorrow.
But I can tell you that I'm not very happy right now.
Wait!
Thanks for holding the elevator.
Don't mention it.
Ah, I heard that you've been put in charge of Min Joon Gook's upcoming trial?
Yes.
You're not...
going to be his defense attorney again, are you?
I doubt that.
I'm a victim, too.
My arm where he hit me still aches whenever it rains.
I guess... there's no way you'd be defending him again unless you're absolutely insane.
You must have quite a list of charges against him.
With him having committed such a long list of crimes.
Yes.
I'm telling you this right now...
but I don't feel even the least bit of pity for that human being.
I'm going to request for his execution, and I assure you that I will get it.
What is this about?
I came to make a request of you.
No matter who you get as your defense attorney this time...
I hope that you don't lie to that person.
I would lie if doing that would change anything...
but that's not going to do anything.
Isn't the result already pretty much written in stone?
If that's what you're thinking...
tell your attorney everything including what's happened to you in the past.
If lying isn't going to change anything just like you stated...
- Then admit to everything you've done... - If I tell you everything...
will you take my defense?
Excuse me?
If you say that you'll be my attorney, then I'll think about it.
I'll consider telling my whole story.
Why is it me again?
I have a lot of resentment towards you.
You broke my arm, and Attorney Jang almost died because of you.
You became my ally a year ago when we were in a similar situation such as this.
Isn't it pretty obvious how this trial is going to end?
I'm not asking you to change how this is going to end.
I'm just asking you...
to finish hearing out my story to the end.
You're worried that this is going to scar too, aren't you?
I'm worried, too.
But the doctor is a pretty skilled person, and I was told that it's going to be fine.
Mom.
Min Joon Gook's been captured.
He has so many evidences against him this time...
and I'm sure that he won't be able to get away with what he's done.
How do you feel about that, Mom?
Do you feel relieved now?
Does it make you feel better?
I wish I could hear it just one more time.
I wish I could hear your voice.
Hye Sung.
Yeah?
Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth.
If you live by those rules...
everyone in this world will become handicapped.
I know.
Promise me.
I don't want you to waste your life away by filling it with hate for others.
You only get to live your life once.
Even if you lived your life loving others, it still wouldn't be enough.
Okay.
I promise.
As for Attorney Jang Hye Sung's murder case, it won't be included during this trial.
That case is going to be tried separately in the higher court.
I've already put in a request for an appeal for that case last year
and had the case put on suspension for trial.
Okay.
Then... shall we continue?
A year ago, on the same day that you received your verdict
you called Attorney Jang Hye Sung, and Park Soo Ha over to the parking garage?
I called Park Soo Ha out.
But Attorney Jang Hye Sung came on her own.
Then you were only planning on just killing Park Soo Ha in that parking garage?
Yes.
But you stabbed Attorney Jang Hye Sung first when she appeared on the scene?
No.
I'm not the one who stabbed Attorney Jang Hye Sung.
Then who stabbed her?
Park Soo Ha.
Are you starting with your lies again?
What's going to change by lying about that?
I'm just telling you the truth.
It is true that I stabbed Pak Soo Ha.
However...
the one who stabbed Attorney Jang Hye Sung...
was Park Soo Ha.
[2014 Police Academy Entrance Exam]
I seriously feel like I'm going to lose my mind.
Why did Min Joon Gook request for Attorney Cha as his defense attorney again?
There's no way that could happen.
Attorney Cha is also a victim who was attacked by Min Joon Gook.
How does it make any sense for the victim to be the one to defend him?
- That can't happen, right? - Of course not.
Just have Attorney Shin take the case.
Attorney Shin has also requested that he doesn't get assigned with this case.
And this is what the defendant wants.
Ugh, if I assign this to Attorney Cha again...
that would really be shameless of me, wouldn't it?
- Yes. - Yes.
Okay.
Yeah... it's absurd to be asking the victim to take the defense.
Of course, it is.
It's not a cause for an exclusion.
Attorney Cha.
I may not know how it works with the judges
but attorneys can't be excluded for that reason.
Attorney Cha.
You're not... thinking of taking Min Joon Gook's defense, are you?
What should I do?
I won't deny that I would be grateful if you took on this case.
That's what the defendant wants...
And all the other public defenders are refusing to take this case.
But I'm not a shameless person.
I can't ask you to take it.
It is true that I'd be grateful if he took the case.
But I'm not going to ask him to do it.
Why, you ask?
Because I'm a person with a sense of shame.
I'll do it.
I'll take Min Joon Gook's defense.
Ah... really?
You really don't need to do that. Why are you doing it?
You keep trying to make me look like someone without any sense of shame.
Have you lost your mind?
Even though I really like you, this really isn't right, Attorney Cha.
Don't you remember how dark our office became with last year's trial?
I really don't want it to get dark again.
I agree.
This isn't right, Attorney Cha.
I don't like Min Joon Gook either, but not as much as you do.
I'll take Min Joon Gook's case.
I feel like I need to take it.
Min Joon Gook wants me to take his case.
Attorney Cha!
But still...
Do you think... that you'd be able to face Attorney Jang again if you do this?
There's no way he'd be able to face her again.
I really don't think that this is something that you should do to Attorney Jang.
No way!
Hello?
I'm right here.
Why are you all speaking as if I'm not even here?
I just want to you take notice of the position I'm taking in this situation.
I'm on your side.
Really?
Then... if you're on my side...
I want you to take Attorney Cha's side as well.
Because I'm on Attorney Cha's side.
Excuse me?
Attorney Jang.
Who in this situation is having more difficult time than Attorney Cha right now?
No one, right?
Then I don't think we have any right to say anything to him right now.
Attorney Jang.
Let's not say anything cheesy like 'Thank you for understanding'.
Because I didn't take your side out of the goodness of my heart either.
No, that's not it.
But your skirt if turned around.
Yes, I see.
Um...
I'm not going to make the same mistake that I made the last time.
Min Joon Gook's agreed to admit to everything that he did eleven years ago...
if I took his case.
That's why I'm taking his case.
Was that the reason?
Then you should've told me that sooner.
So even without knowing that... you still took my side?
That's because...
Thank you.
Thank you for understanding me.
I think this is going to leave a scar.
I think it's going to fade with time.
And if you wear your hair like this, you can barely even see it.
Really?
Then should I try wearing some interesting hairpin?
Then it'll distract other people's gaze.
Ah... I have something for you.
What is it?
What is this?
Hey...
How did you know...
I noticed that you wanted it the other day.
You've lost your mind.
Do you know how much this thing costs?
Go take this back immediately.
- You still have the receipt, right? - No. It's my gift to you. Why take it back?
You don't have the money for this.
I'll just accept your meaning behind it. I really am very thankful.
But it's okay, so don't even buy anything like this again, okay?
Why is he doing this? This is so burdensome.
I guess I should be careful with my thoughts on what I want from now on.
You still see me as a kid, don't you?
You see me as being young, immature, and you worry about me.
Right?
Are you annoyed?
No, I just feel bad.
I'll go take this back, so don't worry about it.
Okay.
Thanks.
But even besides all that...
there are so many other reasons why we can't work out.
That's why I think that I need to put an end to this someday.
I can't always rely on your skills to help me with my trials.
Since I'm an attorney on my own.
I'm going to try to do it on my own today.
Ugh, this is a big problem.
I really can't continue to rely on you like this.
Prosecutor Seo.
I just heard that Min Joon Gook's defense attorney is Cha Gwan Woo.
Are you serious?
He's lost his mind. That man has lost his mind.
No kidding.
Is he just stupid or something?
He's going to put himself through that again after what he's already been put through?
It's not going to work this time.
I'm going to destroy him.
Prosecutor Seo.
Attorney Cha is on the line for you.
Tell him that I'm not here.
I refuse any phone calls or visits from that man from now on.
Yes.
Attorney Cha?
Excuse me?
He says he heard everything you just said.
From now on...
don't ever take any of his phone calls again.
But...
What should I do about Park Soo Ha?
I did send him the subpoena.
What do you mean, what should we do?
He's committed a crime, and we can't just ignore that.
Why am I getting a letter from the prosecutions office?
[Defendant: Park Soo Ha]
[Summons to appear in court by Prosecutor Seo Do Hyun.]
Attorney Jang.
We've got big trouble.
- Excuse me? - Park Soo Ha...
Soo Ha's been summoned.
For attempted murder.
What are you talking about?
What do you mean, attempted murder?
I'm not quite sure what's going on myself.
By any chance, was the person who stabbed you in that parking garage a year ago Park Soo Ha
and not Min Joon Gook?
Am I right?
How did...
I think Prosecutor Seo found that out while she was interrogating Min Joon Gook.
Was Park Soo Ha really the one who stabbed you?
I jumped in between them.
Soo Ha really didn't know that it was me when he did that.
Attempted murder?
How, after all that we've been through already...
This can't be happening right now. Soo Ha...
What do we do about Soo Ha?
Attorney Jang.
Attorney Jang!
[Recipient Park Soo Ha.]
Soo Ha!
What do you have in your hand?
Is it a subpoena?
You heard?
This is nothing.
You just need to go and deny it.
Just tell her that you didn't stab me, but it was Min Joon Gook who did.
There weren't even any security cameras around.
We just need to make sure to match up our stories.
You can just tell them that Min Joon Gook is lying.
No.
You know that I can't do that.
Yes, you can.
I came home because I was afraid that you'd react like this.
I'm going to go see Seo Do Hyun tomorrow and talk to her about this.
What's she going to do about it if I deny the whole thing?
Don't worry. I can handle this.
I know. I know that you can handle it.
But you know that you shouldn't be doing that yourself.
Soo Ha.
This trial is different from the last one.
I remember very clearly what I've done.
And I can't lie about that.
I stabbed you with that knife.
That truth cannot be buried.
Please listen to what I'm saying.
If it's an attempted murder charge, it doesn't even matter if I settle.
You may be sentenced to serve in prison.
Then you could become a felon.
All your chances of becoming a policeman will go out the window.
Your future is going to be ruined!
I'm prepared for it.
It's okay. I can find something else to do.
You dummy. Why don't you ever listen to me?
You don't need to do this.
How, after all you've gone through to get here?
You can lie.
It's okay for you to lie just this once.
It really is okay for you to do that.
No, I can't do that.
Prosecutor Seo Do Hyun!
We need to talk!
Prosecutor Seo Do Hyun!
We need to talk! Prosecutor Seo!
Hey, Seo Do Hyun!
She stopped.
What? Hey?
Seo Do Hyun?
Prosecutor Seo?
We need to talk.
What the heck?
Did she just trick me on purpose?
[Let's go to the Police Academy! I can do it! Fighting!]
I'm going to go to the prosecution's office.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry for not listening to you.
You once asked me what I dreamt about, remember?
In my dream... you keep getting hurt like you did that day.
And then you start to bleed.
I think that was a warning.
A warning telling me not to ever forget that day.
I'm being punished for ignoring that warning.
I...
I'm going to go and tell her the truth.
And once I do...
I don't think I'll dream those dreams again.
Before I go...
can I ask you for a favor?
If by any chance...
If...
this takes me away from being by your side...
Can you...
still wait for me?
Prosecutor Seo.
Prosecutor Seo Do Hyun!
Hey, Seo Do Hyun!
Prosecutor Seo Do Hyun.
We need to talk.
I have nothing to say to you.
Then... let's just talk right here.
Um... can I get out of here?
I have no sense of pity or compassion for Min Joon Gook.
I also believe that he doesn't deserve any show of mercy.
I'm not here to talk about Min Joon Gook right now.
I came to talk to you about Park Soo Ha.
Everyone.
What's this?
This looks like my notebook. What is this doing here?
This is the day before Min Joon Gook received his sentencing.
Even if I were to disappear...
I hope that you don't notice it.
I would like for you to think that I'm living a very nice life somewhere.
[Mr. Park Soo Ha, you've passed the first round of the Police Academy Entrance Exam.]
Doing well in my studies, having fun with my friends
while going after my dream of becoming a policeman...
I hope that you believe that I'm living happily like that.
Even if I were to disappear...
I hope that you don't shed a tear over it.
I hope that you'll always be happy.
And once in a while...
just every once in awhile...
I hope that you still think of me.
How can you even think to subpoena Park Soo Ha on attempted murder charges?
Have you forgotten why that incident even happened in the first place?
I feel bad about it, too.
But it's the truth, so what am I supposed to do about it?
The one who stabbed Jang Hye Sung that day...
was Park Soo Ha.
It was just an accident that happened in his attempt to protect Attorney Jang.
And Attorney Jang hid that incident because she knows that's why it happened.
Truth is the truth. You want me to shut my eyes against the truth?
How can you say that to a prosecutor?
Don't you even know why that even happened?
You and I... and Judge Kim...
The three of us were responsible for that.
Why are you dragging me into this?
If I hadn't fallen for Min Joon Gook's deceit a year ago
and if you hadn't made the witness falsify his testament...
and if Judge Kim had looked a little bit more carefully into the case and the evidence...
Park Soo Ha wouldn't have done what he did.
The one who corrected our mistakes was Park Soo Ha.
Park Soo Ha is the one who had the biggest part in capturing Min Joon Gook.
Why aren't you taking those factors into consideration?
And what about compensation?
Who's going to compensate for the damages Park Soo Ha sustained from that trial?
You're just going to talk about his faults
without any consideration to all the goods he's done?
Is that the law that you rule by, Prosecutor Seo Do Hyun?
Yes, that is the law that I live by.
Law... more than anything else needs to remain cool and objective.
Can we give this a rest now?
I'm a little busy right now.
Prosecutor Seo? Prosecutor Seo Do Hyun.
What? What is it now?
The defendant sought revenge against
the victim, Jang Hye Sung who testified against him in the past.
Thus, he planned on murdering Jang Hye Sung, and Park Soo Ha, who wanted to protect her.
Although I attempted to kill the victim, Park Soo Ha by stabbing him in the back
while he had his back turned towards me...
but with the appearance of a witness that discovered the victims as he came on the scene
I wasn't able to carry out my initial plans...
and had to flee the scene instead.
Since this is an interrogation, I'm going to use honorifics with you.
Okay, Mr. Park Soo Ha?
Yes.
What was the length of the knife blade that you used to stab Jang Hye Sung with?
I think it was about 15cm long.
Where in her anatomy did you stab her?
It was... the left side of her waist.
Prosecutor Seo? Prosecutor Seo Do Hyun.
What? What is it now?
I also believe that the law needs to remain cold and objective like you do.
But just like Attorney Cha, I also believe that the law requires some heart.
I get the feeling that you also agree with what Attorney Cha just said.
Am I right?
No. Not at all.
Really?
During the Hwang Dal Joong's case...
I believe that you did show that side of you.
Did you stab Jang Hye Sung with the intention of killing her?
No, that's definitely not the case.
- I was trying to... - Stop.
Did they hear me?
It's dangerous for him to say anything about Min Joon Gook right now.
In an attempt to avoid his attempted murder charge against Jang Hye Sung
this could turn into a case of attempted murder charge against Min Joon Gook instead.
I need to cut him off right now.
Now that I've heard your story, I see that it wasn't an attempted murder.
Excuse me?
You had no provocation to murder her
and that knife was too short in length to be able to kill anyone.
And the area where she was stabbed wasn't a vital part of her body either.
Instead of charging you with an attempted murder...
I'll just reduce your charges down to illegal possession of a weapon.
Illegal possession of a weapons charge is a simple matter of probation.
It seems as though she's letting Park Soo Ha off the hook.
I think you're right.
Victim Jang Hye Sung...
doesn't want you punished for what you did to her, is that correct?
That's correct.
Park Soo Ha.
Are you just on your way out from meeting with Prosecutor Seo Do Hyun?
Yes.
Seriously, Prosecutor Seo, that woman. Her ears must be tightly plugged up.
Don't you worry about a thing.
I'm going to go see her right now and do something about those ears of hers.
Attempted murder is absolutely ludicrous.
She dropped the charges.
What? She dropped the attempted murder charges?
No, she reduced the charges down to an illegal possession of a weapon instead.
Ah... I see.
That's such a relief!
Ah, Prosecutor Seo... Her ears are working just fine.
Thank you.
For what?
For everything.
I know how much you like Attorney Jang.
I know that all the help you're giving me is all for Attorney Jang's sake.
I know that you're a man of amazing character that I can't even dream to match up to.
Even though it irks me, I'll acknowledge it.
You're a very good man.
Enough for me to feel bad that Attorney Jang chose me over you.
What are you doing?
You're starting to creep me out.
I'll be good to Attorney Jang.
I'll cherish and treasure Attorney Jang so that she won't come to regret choosing me.
What is this?
Why does this sound like warning to me?
Is this your way of telling me to stay away from Attorney Jang or something?
I'd only be grateful if that's the way you want to take it.
Rascal.
Soo Ha!
Soo Ha.
What's wrong?
Why are you crying?
I'm sorry, Soo Ha.
I'm so sorry for pretending that I didn't need you when I need you more than anyone.
I'm also sorry for not expressing myself to you...
when I love you more than anyone else in this world.
I'm sorry for thinking only of our ending and always being so nervous
as I stared into your face.
I'm sorry for everything.
You're not going to go to jail.
I'm going to do whatever I can within my powers to get you off these charges.
And if...
Even if you end up going to jail, I don't want you to worry.
Because I'll be waiting for you.
I'm not going to jail.
What?
Prosecutor Seo Do Hyun dropped the charges.
She told me that I won't be receiving anymore subpoenas over this incident.
Dropped the charges?
Do Hyun did that?
Why would she do that?
I think Attorney Cha convinced Prosecutor Seo.
Really?
That's such a relief!
It really is such a relief!
Ugh... then I overacted for nothing. How humiliating.
Hey... pretend that you didn't hear what I just said to you a moment ago.
I think I just got all swept up in my emotions and overreacted a little.
But... that doesn't mean...
that I didn't mean what I just said, but I didn't mean to come out that strong.
So...
Ugh... what total, and utter humiliating.
Say it.
You said you were sorry for having been so stingy with the 'I love you'.
Well, that's...
I lost my sanity there for a minute.
I love you.
What did you say?
I can't hear you.
Fine. I love you. I'm saying that I love you.
I flipping love you a lot. Satisfied?
I know why you're anxious.
I also know...
that you're always preparing yourself for the time when you'll be without me.
But even if that time comes, I'm not going to worry.
I recognized you even after ten years of time has passed.
Even after I had lost my memories, and when I had erased you from my mind...
I came to love you again.
Even if another ten years passes on by, and even if I lose my memories again...
if that time that you're so afraid of, ever comes...
I will find you...
and I'll...
love you again.
The story about your wife's heart transplant, and the story about your mother and son...
I'm going to go tell all those stories.
Because the only thing we can do right now is try our best and wait for the results.
When we're in the courtroom
don't ever say that your family died because of Jang Hye Sung or Park Soo Ha's father.
I still...
believe that my family died because of them.
No.
It wasn't because of them.
I agree... that what happened to your wife is very sad and unfortunate.
Park Soo Ha's father did something that he should never have done.
But...
the moment that you killed him, you blew all your reasons out the window.
That's enough.
Jang Hye Sung's testimony against you isn't the reason why your mother and son died.
Because you killed a man, and because you went away to jail...
and because you couldn't look after your son, or your mother who had Alzheimer's...
that's why they starved to death.
Don't speak of it so easily.
Have you ever been in my shoes?
Yes.
Every single day, and every single moment since taking on your case...
I've tried to look at this world through your eyes and from your shoes.
And also...
I've figured out... how you truly think.
Father.
I didn't know you'd be home.
I came home early today.
What brings you by here?
Mother told me that she had left some things behind.
The Chief Prosecutor...
gave me a call today.
I heard that you dropped the case... against Hwang Dal Joong?
He told me that you're going to be investigated over that.
I was prepared for that when I did it.
You're probably going to get demoted to a public prosecution's office from all this.
You may even lose your job.
If I'm deserving of that punishment... then I will accept it.
Okay then, tell me.
Tell me what it is that I'm truly thinking.
You admit it too, don't you?
That you're the one who started all this.
You realized that at one point...
but you just couldn't stop.
Because the moment you stop...
your life would become nothing.
That's why you persisted.
You kept on insisting that you were right all the while you were killing people.
That's enough.
During your trial...
that's exactly what you need to tell the court.
That you regret what you've done.
Tell them that you've gone down a path that you know you shouldn't have gone down.
Stop insisting, and be honest.
Continuing to insist while knowing the truth yourself...
Isn't it torturing you?
Insisting on the wrongs doesn't make them right.
And insisting can't make you take back what you've done either.
Continuing to insist while knowing that truth...
is just abusing yourself.
Continuing to live like that is what made you end up alone with no one on your side.
Hi, Soo Ha.
Oh, hi.
Ta-da! What do you think? Isn't it pretty?
These are initials for our names.
This stands for Soo Ha, and this stand for Sung Bin.
Very pretty.
Soo Ha... I'm going to take the entrance exam for the police academy next year, too.
So, that I can be with you.
How would you recommend that I start preparing for the exam?
Huh?
There she goes obsessing over him again.
Why does Soo Ha keep putting up with the way she acts when he's not even interested in her?
Sung Bin.
By any chance, were you the one who gave that teddy bear to Attorney Jang?
Huh?
Yeah. How did you know?
I threw it away at school, but it still found its way to Attorney Jang.
So, who else could it have be besides you?
I figured that you bought it to give to Attorney Jang.
Thanks.
Then you know too, don't you? Just how I feel about Attorney Jang?
Yeah, I know.
You also know that my feelings haven't changed at all in the past eleven years
and it's going to continue to remain unchanged?
Yeah.
Then I guess I can say this to you now.
- I'd like for you stop... - Okay.
I know what you're about to say.
So, you don't need to go on any further.
Please stop there.
I might cry if I hear what he's going to say next.
Hey, these are really expensive study books.
It's a good thing I'm not following you into the police academy.
Thanks for telling me that before I bought these books.
I'm sorry.
No, not at all. Why would you be sorry?
If anything, I'm the one who's thankful for you to being so nice to me.
I'm going to get going, okay?
Okay.
Did I...
just get dumped for good?
So, suddenly like this?
Hello?
Choong Ki?
It's me, Soo Ha.
Hey, you sass! Everyone can see your underwear!
Stop staring.
Go Sung Bin.
Are you sleeping?
What happened?
Did you get totally dumped by Soo Ha?
It all started off so nicely. He even told me that my hands were pretty.
Ugh, you dummy.
When a guy tells you that you have pretty hands, or feet, or things like that...
it's their way of telling you that you don't have a pretty face.
How can you say something like that to me in the situation that I'm in right now?
Can't you console me instead?
Hey, Go Sung Bin.
It's true that you're really ugly, but you should know that it's a blessing.
Because the uglier the girl is, then the nicer of a guy she's going to meet.
Are you trying to add fuel to the fire?
Hey, just think about it.
When a girl is pretty, men usually flock to her only for her looks.
But those men who are only interested in your looks has no sincerity in their feelings.
But men who still flocks over to girls like you with an uglier face
this indicates that they like you as a person rather than just for your looks.
And that a true man is right here.
Fine, I don't have a pretty face. Soo Ha dumped me because I'm ugly.
You know that's not what I'm saying right now.
- Why aren't you getting what I'm saying? - That's right, I don't understand.
I'm extremely ugly, and a completely stupid on top of all that. Satisfied?
Ugh, that dummy!
Am I the one not saying the right thing here, or is she just not understanding me?
Which is it?
Ugh, she's seriously so frustrating!
But she's still so pretty.
Attorney Jang, you're here.
I actually have a few things that I want to tell you about Min Joon Gook's case anyways.
Min Joon Gook has admitted to everything you and Park Soo Ha stated.
So, there won't be any reason for either one of you to testify in the courtroom.
I guess he admitted to everything this time.
Yes, I was able to convince him.
I told him to admit to everything he did.
Listen, Attorney Cha?
Yes?
Soo Ha told me everything.
He told me that you convinced Do Hyun.
Oh, it's nothing.
It's just that Prosecutor Seo Do Hyun is different than I had initially thought.
I think she would've done the same thing even if I hadn't said anything to her.
It's okay for you to take the credit.
Thank you.
My pleasure.
- What was that for? - It was a thank you, and a goodbye.
Thank you so much for everything.
For liking me, taking care of me, and for even helping Soo Ha.
I'm grateful for everything.
Okay.
Thank you for saying that.
I've been here the whole time.
We know, we know.
Did you all hear the news?
You know that jerk, Prosecutor Seo?
She's going to get reviewed by the board.
- Why? - Reviewed?
- Why? - What do you mean, why?
It's because of how she dropped the charges against Hwang Dal Joong of her own whim.
I heard that she's going to be demoted from her position.
She could even get fired.
Wait... am I... the only one excited by this news?
Don't we all hate Prosecutor Seo?
She even slapped Attorney Jang in the face! Remember?
Does it make you that happy to see something bad happening to her?
I'm really disappointed in you, Yoo Chang.
You really should not live your life like that.
Do Hyun, I heard that you're going to be reviewed by the board?
- The rumor's already spread that far? - Yeah.
- Are you okay? - Yeah.
At most, I'm just going to get demoted.
It's nothing to be too worried about.
It's not because of you dropping the charges against Soo Ha, is it?
That's like playing in the mud after having rolled around in the manure field.
Manure field?
If Soo Ha's incident is mud playing, then what's the manure field?
Your father's case?
Huh?
Is that how it works?
I know I'm pretty bad...
but you're pretty bad about saying things before you think yourself.
Wait!
Wait... wait.
Thank you.
Anyways, thanks for what you did for Park Soo Ha's case.
- I helped with that case. - I think it was more Attorney Cha than I.
You have no idea how persistent he was in his attempt to talk to me about it.
I gave him a break because I didn't want to deal with Attorney Cha anymore.
I already thanked Attorney Cha.
I also... told Prosecutor Seo to go easy on the case.
He's a good attorney.
He says that the law also has to have a heart?
Well... he used that line to convince me, and I guess it worked.
The law having to have some heart...
I came up with that one.
I guess... Attorney Cha does have a way with his words.
Attorney Jang!
Don't you think that you're really being too much?
Is it that difficult for you to say, 'Thank you'?
Thank you.
You said it! You actually said it!
I have to take a picture of this moment. I need to a proof of this moment.
Wait! No... no!
Even if I get taken off this case...
Senior Jo is going to make sure to take care of Min Joon Gook's case, so no need to worry.
- You're coming to the hearing, right? - No.
I'm busy enough going to my lessons these days.
I don't have the time to go to Min Joon Gook's hearing.
But shouldn't you still come to the hearing?
He's your mother's killer, and he's tortured you for 11 years.
Don't you want to see him go down?
Not really. I'm sure you guys will take care of it.
Okay, then. Just don't worry about it.
Senior Jo is going to make sure that he gets him the death penalty.
Do you think that I'd want Min Joon Gook to get executed?
You don't?
That man more than deserves to die.
No... he's not even good enough to be called a 'man'.
I don't know.
I'm not so sure about it myself.
What?
Are you looking at this situation as a defense attorney right now?
Is that your sense of duty talking?
Sense of duty, my butt.
Then why are you doing this?
Do you feel pity for Min Joon Gook?
Are you feeling compassion for him?
Do I look like Mother Theresa or something? Why would I feel compassion for that jerk?
- It's nothing like that. - Then what is it?
It's just that...
wanting him to die since he killed my mother...
would be thinking on the same level as Min Joon Gook.
It makes me feel filthy to think that I'd be on the same level as someone pathetic as him.
That's why I...
oppose his execution.
[Two months later]
Soo Ha, you're aware that Min Joon Gook has his sentencing tomorrow, right?
- Yeah. - Are you going?
No. You know that I have the interview at the police academy tomorrow.
But, Soo Ha...
Do you want Min Joon Gook to get the death sentence?
I used to, but not anymore.
Why?
No, don't tell me.
I'm going to try to guess.
It's because you don't want to become as same as him. Right?
How did you know that?
I guess I've developed a skill that's similar to yours.
Oh! It's time for baseball!
Why are you heading over to the fridge when you're about to watch baseball?
Hey! Let's wear these while watching the game.
No! There's no way I'm wearing that.
Ugh, seriously!
Soo Ha doesn't like to go to crowded places.
So that's why we don't go to the baseball games, or to the movie theaters.
Homerun! It's a homerun!
Attorney Jang turns into a monster when she watches a baseball game.
And once in a while... I find it frightening.
The reason why Soo Ha is a such a good cook
is because he's had to fend for himself since he's been in middle school.
It must've been so lonely for him.
The reason why Attorney Jang turns everything into dog food...
is because she's worked so hard all her life that she didn't even have the time to cook.
It must've been so exhausting for her.
I think that Attorney Jang still thinks that things are going to end for us someday.
But even if she thinks that way, it doesn't matter.
Because even if that end comes, I'm going to find Attorney Jang again
and we're going to start over again... and be happy again.
I still feel anxious whenever I look at Soo Ha.
This relationship of ours that always feels like it's going to end someday...
In order to put that feeling of anxiousness to rest...
I'm going to try to care for Soo Ha more, and try to understand him more.
I'm probably going to always feel that anxiety over Soo Ha...
and live very happily... for a very long time to come.
Number 139, Park Son Wook.
Number 140, Park Soo Ha. You may both come in.
Mr. Park Soo Ha... your grades are very impressive.
And you're in excellent physical condition as well.
But...
I see that you dropped out of high school?
Yes.
Why did you drop out of high school?
Park Soo Ha.
He's quite famous amongst all the cops.
Shall we just see how honest he can be?
Many things have happened to me.
I suffered from a memory loss for about a year and didn't even know where I was during then.
I even had to stand in court as a possible murder suspect.
I also almost became indicted for a retaliation crime.
You somehow still managed to get here even after going through all that?
Yes.
But had I been alone, I doubt I would've been able to make it this far.
Then who... helped you get here?
There were several people who helped, but the first person who comes to mind...
is the person who helped me grow into an adult.
Even if no one else believes...
shouldn't the attorney believe and trust in his own client?
He's someone who at times appeared foolish because of his excessive trust in people.
But as I witnessed how he defended his people with that unwavering faith of his...
He left me no other choice other than to accept him as an adult who's to be respected.
If you end up getting life in prison...
the prosecutions office will probably appeal the verdict.
When that happens, it'll be taken to the supreme court
and it's going to be a tougher battle to fight
because they're going to add on Attorney Jang Hye Sung's mother's murder case.
And if I get the death penalty?
If that happens, we'll definitely make an appeal as well.
We?
Why?
You don't want me to appeal?
No.
It's not that.
It's just that...
it's been a very long time since anyone has used the word, 'We' around me.
And there's also the person who was too overconfident with her abilities in herself.
Your defense today... left quite an impression.
So, don't blame yourself too much.
You've improved quite a bit.
For a public defense attorney, that is.
But that person...
showed me how she could admit to her faults, and be able to apologize for it.
Just how amazing a person can be when they know how to repent for their wrongs
and be able to apologize for them.
That's the lesson she taught me.
And...
there's even someone who's shown me a path that I never should travel down on.
I want you to become a murderer too... and know what it's like to live this life.
Someone who used to live his life as human, but ultimately chose to become a beast.
He was a foolish and pitiful man.
All the crimes you have committed has been crimes of retaliation
and the defendant has taken the lives of many innocent people to accomplish his goal
by disguising them as accidental deaths, and his crimes are absolutely unforgivable.
However, Park Joo Hyuk and Doctor Woo Song Shik's forging of
the donor list resulted in the death of the defendant's wife.
Once the defendant, who was the head of his household became incarcerated
it thus resulted in further deaths of his mother and his son
which propelled the defendant in his desire to engage in further criminal activities.
Furthermore, the defendant has admitted to all the crimes he has committed
and his show of repentance is also a factor in our consideration.
Therefore, the defendant...
will receive a sentence less in severity than the death penalty...
and therefore sentenced to life in prison.
And there came a moment in my life when I could've made the same decision.
- You almost made the same decision? - Yes?
I almost made the same choice that he made in my desire for revenge.
If she hadn't been there for me...
I might also be living my life as a beast right now.
She?
Yes.
Someone who is unbelievably blunt to the point of absurdity
without any manners or consideration.
She's that type of a person.
Isn't the truth...
that wins in the courtroom?
No, kid.
You've got that backwards.
The truth doesn't win in the courtroom
but winning in the courtroom that becomes the truth.
Someone who used to think like that...
started to fight for the truth
and started seeing people for why they truly are.
And...
seeing that has become the light in the darkness that I was wandering around in
and it was became my path.
If it hadn't been for her, I doubt I would've made it to this point.
She's the one who taught me the importance of protecting others.
She also taught me how important it is to be able to listen to someone.
That's why I believe... that I will make an excellent cop.
Then shall we try to try to put all the signs we've learned so far together?
Use them together? All of them?
That's going to be flipping hard.
Ready, set, go.
I will listen to everything that you have to tell me so that I can understand you.
I will listen to your story from your point of view.
I am your public defense attorney.
