[Attorney Park Dong Ho]
Episode 3
If you want to use me, you're going to need ten million more.
Then wait, I'll come right back.
Then what I'll need is a hundred twenty million.
You understand what I'm saying?
Game is over. Leave.
You... get out.
Let go of this. What did the kid do wrong that you're doing this? You're really strange people.
Then, you take him already.
I don't have anything to do with that high-schooler, either.
Jin Woo, let's go.
You said you didn't need anything but the money! You said to prove innocence with the money!
Why doesn't my money work? Why?!
Manager Byun, please escort him out.
Go home.
Let's go.
Ahjussi. Ahjussi. I brought the money.
Ah... this jerk is persistent.
I brought the money. Ahjussi, please!
What are you doing? Take him away.
Why does it have to be that person? Is he really a lawyer?
Why does it matter to you who I meet or not?
[Attorney Park Dong Ho's Office]
Hyungnim, is anything bothering you?
Continuing from yesterday,
we will start with the cross examination of prosecution witnesses.
But... defense, you have not requested any witnesses.
A-Ah...y-yes. At this ti.. me, there are no.. w-i-t ..nesses.
Not even one person?
R-r-i... ght.
Over here!
Who are you! Who sent you guys?!
Hyungnim!
The 20 story building at the Gangnam Station..
after the trial, it will be registered under your name.
I'll put my faith in you. What should I prepare for the trial?
I'll be playing that footage you saw at the court.
When the judge turns his head towards you,
You just need to show a couple of teardrops. Practice it.
That was a hard slap!
You were right, Hyungnim.
What did I say?
There is a reason why Nam Gyu Man walked all the way to the top of that construction building.
That... do you know Oh Jung Ah?
Why does that name suddenly come out, here?
If you hear why, your antennas will shoot straight up.
So, the lavish party Nam Guy Man hosted,
Oh Jung Ah was invited. Isn't that right?
Moreover, on the night of the murder,
our people were tailing Nam Gyu Man, and saw her following him to the villa.
Are you certain?
I'm for sure, Hyungnim. But, where are you right now?
In a few more steps I'll be at the high-schooler's courthouse.
You said you weren't doing that trial.
Hang up.
I'm here.
You waited a long time, eh?
I am the attorney for defendant Seo Jae Hyuk... From today.
Another attorney?
Is that something that was agreed to prior?
I'm Attorney Park Dong Ho.
From today's date, I have been appointed by your son as your attorney.
No... Sunbaenim, what exactly are you doing?
This position is my position.
You're fine. You don't stutter anymore?
Did I not say I only stutter when defending.
Our Hoobaenim is just not catching on.
I said I turned it around.
"Take your medicine and go home already" is what I'm saying.
Please be courteous.
Is he your attorney, or shall I send him out for disturbance of the court.
It's a contract.
If you sign here, I will fight for you in this court.
Yes, he's my attorney.
But...
What did you say your name was?
Seo Jin Woo.
Okay, Jin Woo. I was late from eating lunch.
If I'm hungry, I don't talk too well.
Still, my timing wasn't too bad, right?
Your first appearance... was not bad.
But you said you weren't coming.
Come close.
Jin Woo, listen carefully.
A dude who is too powerful to handle is
related to this trial, understand?
What?
I have caught a scent.
Okay, I got it.
They replaced the attorney.
What?
The new attorney is that dude from that time.
If there's one recorded footage of the incident on a CCTV, isn't it game over?
Oh, one more thing.
You threw the second welcoming party at your villa in Seochon.
With this fellow right here.
Defense, please make your defense argument.
I request continuance.
Is your first statement as the defense, a simple continuance?
Yes.
What is the reason?
There is a witness who would play a crucial role in this trial, but we're looking for his whereabouts.
Looking for his whereabouts?
I only need a day. Also, for a fair trial, I absolutely need it.
Prosecutor, do you have objections to his continuance request?
I am also curious about the witness's face.
There is no problem.
Prosecutor Hong Moo Seok!
You said this a while ago
that bad luck relationships are supposed to be worked out through bickering.
Those words became true.
It's astounding enough that you and I both became legal professionals,
but going up against each other in the same trial is, what should I say,
- very interesting. - Ditto.
Let's have a fair fight.
But, you don't have anything like a witness, do you?
You knew but you agreed to the continuation request, I'm curious why you did that.
Since you joined 5 minutes ago, you probably haven't read the police report, so
we should play fair to see who wins.
Either I will bring a witness or
catch the real criminal and put him in court,
just wait and you'll know.
Did I hear incorrectly?
Did you just say real criminal?
You heard correctly.
Let's see each other at the next round.
Jin Woo!
We have to go see your father.
That person refused for sure.
You know that lawyer?
Oh, just that taking a case that no one wants is a little strange.
Why do you think he would take a case no one wants?
It's money of course. That human... he is infamous as a bad character in this part of the turf.
That with enough money, he'll use any means to fight.
Sorry my greeting was late. My name is Park Dong Ho.
I'm Seo Jae Hyuk.
Yes.
Jin Wook is bright. You raised your son well.
Aigoo...thank you.
Before going to trial you have to tell me something.
This isn't court, so tell me truthfully.
Yes.
Seo Jae Wook, you killed Oh Jung Ah, right?
If you killed Oh Jung Ah, and want to push the no-memory strategy, we should have our story together.
Since I've done things like that a lot, I can play with that.
- Mr. Attorney... - The relationship between the attorney and his client,
regarding keeping information discreet, it's written in criminal law, item 337.
Attorney or previous attorney must not divulge information he has come to know from his work.
Ahjussi, you don't believe my dad?
If Ahjussi is like this, then how are you different from the detective and the prosecutor?
Shut your mouth!
Your father's lawyer is me. Don't get involved.
Even if you confess you killed Oh Jung Ah, I won't testify to it.
In return, I want to know the truth.
In this admission statement, what does it say?
You wrote down that you killed Oh Jung Ah, right?
Still, are you going to deny it?
If you aren't going to reply, admit that you murdered.
So in a weak state of mind we can say it was an accidental murder.
No matter how forceful the police came across,
why in the world will someone admit to killing a human being?
Huh?
What I absolutely could not resist,
there was a threat.
Have you still not thought of what to write down on this admission statement?
I'm not going to write anything.
Nothing to write.. when you killed a human being?
I-I-I didn't kill her!
Really. I didn't kill her.>
Look here, Mr. Seo Jae Hyuk. Do you know how many people go missing every year
Over 90,000 people. 90,000.
Out of that, 89,000 people come home, but the other 1,000 people don't come home.
Forever.
In your family.. it looks like you have a son.
We are the ones who find the missing people, and
in the missing person list, should we kind of just insert your son's name?
Or, if a corpse floats on the water under Han River bridge,
all we have to do is declare a no identity case, and
My son doesn't know anything! He did nothing wrong!
My son doesn't know anything. He did nothing wrong.
So admit that you killed Oh Jung Ah.
Write down a few words.
Lawyer. Even though I can't remember in my head, I can remember in my heart.
I can only explain it like this, so I'm also distressed
but whenever I think of deceased Jung Ah... I feel I didn't kill her, so what can I do?
I didn't kill her.
If you can't believe me, you don't have to defend me.
Fine. Let's go until the end.
Thank you.
[Office of Attorney Park Dong Ho]
I will pay you the fee.
Promise me one thing. If I save your father's life.
You have to use your ability only for me.
What?
What did you say again, the absolute memory?
Hyperthymesia?
If you only decide to,
you can probably get a lawyer license, which took 10 years for me to get, in a short period of time.
Now.
It's a contract. Sign here.
You're going to buy me for ₩50,000?
I'm taking ₩50,000 and stand at court, how fair is that?
Okay!
I'm taking this.
Ah, also, it will be good if you return the money.
Yes, I will. But what was the reason you changed your mind suddenly?
If it wasn't the money...
You don't need to know that.
Earlier in the court, the person I wouldn't be able to handle...
That. You're talking about the person who killed Jung Ah Noona, right?
I only have a hunch at this point... so when it becomes certain, I'll tell you.
There is something you have to do with me, from now on.
Use your memory to the max, and
say everything from the day your father didn't come home that you remember.
Everything in detail and accurately.
'SeoCheon Female College Student Murder Case" There are no suspects in question.
Oh Jung Ah and Seo JaeHyuk's relationship
Seo Jae Hyuk's materials not found
Your father and the victim knew each other, right?
Yes, that's right.
The distance was 1.3km.
I think it was around that.
- Do you remember any weapon? - No. Nada.
Where was your father arrested?
At the funeral the policemen just came in.
The detective who arrested my father... the pistol he wore.
I saw it at Jung Ah Noona's funeral.
You remember?
'SeoCheon Female College Student Murder Case" There are no suspects in question.
Hey, what happened the whole night that your state is like this?
I pulled an all-nighter to organize testimonial evidence.
What trial is that?
Actually, Nam Gyu Man, who put you on pins and needles before,
is connected to this trial.
That jerk?
At his villa, Nam Gyu Man
called all his gold-spoon-fed friends and had an orgy.
But none of their names got mentioned during the police investigation.
Even though a person was killed in the vicinity.
No matter how much he stinks, it won't be easy to catch him.
Aren't you scared?
Any hell-raiser born with a gold umbilical cord can bring it on.
Would I be scared?
Did you take on that trial because of that nutjob?
Not particularly.
Then, what's the reason?
There is a total overpowered anime character.
He remembers everything, and if he forgets something, he goes back to remember.
Is there such a guy in this world?
Then.. are you saying he will be profitable?
I entered into an expensive contract with a high schooler.
- It's here, Hyungnim. - Here?
If it's a framed case, there must be an answer lying at the crime scene.
Give me the binoculars.
How far is that villa from here?
If you are looking at the shortest distance, won't it be about 1.5 kilometers?
The murder location is here.
That means Oh Jeong Ah was at the villa that night...
[Seoul Central District Court]
♫ Outside the window the doleful rain... ♫
♫ is falling drip, drip, drip!!!♫
Miss, are you interested in me?
All skin-and-bones, you're not my style. I like glam-
I won't beat around the bush.
That's not his money.
Are you talking about Jin Woo?
Even if you like money so much, you should consider the circumstances before taking it.
Even if you don't take advantage of that little kid's desperation, you can earn more than a good living.
I don't know what kind of relationship you have with my client.
But watch today's trial to the end.
Defense, what are you trying to do here?
You said you have a witness.
They will come out shortly.
Then, call the prosecution's witness to the stand.
Please state your name and occupation.
I am Detective Gwak Han Soo who arrested the defendant and got his written admission.
Please explain the circumstances leading up to the defendant's arrest.
I was a bit suspicious that a long time resident of the neighborhood lost his way near his house.
and even the decedent Oh Jeong Ah, he knew her very well but pretended not to remember her.
I understand that the defendant's house and the crime scene are within 3 kilometers of each other. Is that correct?
Yes.
You said there was a fact of special interest when you found the defendant at the crime scene.
The defendant was very drunk.
There was a strong smell of alcohol.
You are saying at the time he reported the crime to the police, the defendant was intoxicated.
Yes.
Whether the accused was drunk at the time is not a fact in the police investigation report.
Since it is the witness's very subjective awareness,
please strike it from the record.
It is not in the investigation report because at the time, the defendant was questioned as a witness, not as a suspect.
The witness's statement is credible.
Prosecution, you may continue.
So drawing this inference is possible.
Defendant Seo Jae Hyuk, who was intoxicated when he killed Oh Jeong Ah, cannot remember committing the act afterwards.
Or he pretends not to remember it.
I have the same opinion.
Nothing further.
Defense, you are not calling any witnesses, right?
I have one!
I said he would come out.
Our witness is none other than that detective.
Let me remind you before your testimony.
You know that perjury carries severe penalties, right?
I know.
Okay, isn't it true that you falsely imprisoned the defendant for 3 days and coerced him to write the admission?
I did not.
You have really not falsely imprisoned the defendant?
I am a detective busy catching criminals. Why would I come all the way here to lie?
How about the fact that, during the process of getting the written admission,
you threatened the accused with a gun pointed to his head?
The rule is not to possess any firearm while interrogating suspects.
Are you saying you cannot enter an interrogation room with a gun?
That is right.
Why are you lying?! Tell the truth! The truth!
Why are you lying?!
Order!
Since making court appearances are part of your official duty,
you have your gun with you, right? Can you show it to us?
Just a minute! Isn't that gun, by any chance,
a .38 caliber revolver holding 6 shots?
Yes, among service pistols provided to the nation's police officers,
8 out of 10 would be this one.
Then, should I describe it a bit more?
Won't your noggin explode that way?
Umm, the grip part of the gun is singed black as if burned and...
- Here? - Yes, yes. There.
In the middle of the grip
are written initials GHS.
The last S character can be barely made out because almost completely erased.
GHS! Detective, your name Gwak Han Soo.
Now, let us see the gun.
Please show us.
It's the same, right?
How can I know what your gun looks like this precisely?
It's because the defendant told me about the gun he saw when he was forced to write that admission.
Witness, you threatened the accused that you would quietly make his son disappear, didn't you?
Objection! Counsel is asking leading questions.
What do you mean leading!
Under Article 2, Section 4 of the Criminal Procedure Rules,
leading questions are allowed to show that the witness is perjuring himself.
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, which parent in the world
would be able to withstand duress when his child is in danger.
The admission statement written under coercion and duress
must not be used as evidence.
I demand it be withdrawn.
The detective who forced the written admission must bear responsibility for it.
And the real culprit is someone else.
If you are watching this news, repent and turn yourself in right away. Or else, I will
come find you.
Jin Woo, let's go.
The trial is getting more interesting.
It will become even more interesting in the future.
I mean, when your falsely charging my innocent client comes to light.
We're busy, so we'll be leaving first. Let's go, Jin Woo.
Hey, what are you really planning?
I can't figure it out.
You don't do anything without a profit.
Since you have enough money, are you building fame?
Laugh as much as you can now. I'll win the case and I will have the last laugh.
You and I are having the last laugh, alright?
Yes.
But can a lawyer lie in court?
- Me? - I told you the gun shape.
It wasn't my dad but me who remembered it.
I did just enough as they did.
They're the ones that made up the truth against your dad. This is nothing compared to them.
I'm going first. Got to get my suit fitted as well.
Yes.
Yes, I'll come right away.
Huh? I released all your knots but you're all stiff again.
Aigoo, this feels good.
Did you call me, Father?
What are you doing nowadays?
You caused another problem again, didn't you Oppa? Is this why my dad's shoulders are so stiff?
Everytime you cause a problem, I get another knot.
I'll massage you each time another forms.
- This is the news about the SeoCheon murder case. I am in front of the Seoul Court. - Dad,
I'm part of the jury for that case.
- Really? - The lawyer is claiming the confession was due to the police's threat
Also, the true culprit is someone else.
If you are watching this news turn yourself in.
Or I will go find you.
According to this new case, the court has...
Gyu Man, you...
Yes, Father?
I'm sure you're aware of the company's new launch soon. Don't cause any problems till then.
You know if there is any fault there will be a fight.
Please rest, Father.
You heard what that bastard said on tv right? Is he suspecting something?
You know his tactics. Don't fall for it again.
What are you going to do if he actually does know something?
Huh?
Make sure this doesn't get to my father. I'm more terrified by my father than the court.
Understand?
Of course. I know well.
It's Alzheimer's dementia. Usually it begins to show symptoms after the age of 60.
If there are symptoms that are showing up this early, your dad's disease may progress faster.
What would happen if he goes to prison?
In prison, it is difficult to recieve the proper treatment.
The disease can get exponentially worse.
If you need a doctor for this, feel free to call me. I'll be glad to go.
Yes, thank you.
[With concern and affection, lead them to the correct road quickly.]
Jin Woo, the attorney is really good.
Right? He's never lost a case before.
You'll be released soon.
What happened to Jung Ah's dad? He got dragged out of the court room the last time I saw him.
He's going to be released from the police station today.
He won't be able to view the rest of the court case.
If I lost you like that too,
I wouldn't have been able to just watch either.
But, the doctor...
Dad.
Dad, what's the matter?
Hm?
Nothing, nothing.
Once I get out of here, I'll be sure to buy you a cell phone.
Dad.
Aye, you thought I didn't know about your cracked phone screen huh?
I know everything when it comes to you, Jin Woo.
Ahjussi!
Ahjussi, my dad really didn't do it.
Please believe me.
Move you rascal! Your dad didn't only kill my daughter.
He killed me too!
Ahjussi, I'm going to prove he is innocent.
I promise you!
I'm going to find the real culprit and make sure he gets punished for his crime.
I promise both you and Jung Ah Noona.
So, until then, please wait.
Hey, wanna work for me today? I'll give you a lot!
Hurry and come. Alright.
This girl.
My dad's medical exam came out.
Is he in a really bad condition?
It's Alzheimer's.
There's no way this'll be easy.
How can there be two of these things coming at once?
Jin Woo, even so, don't worry too much.
I know it's a bit uncomfortable to hear this now but this will help with the court case.
I'll meet the doctor as well.
Yes. Thank you.
But, have you eaten?
Eat up! When your dad comes out,
he needs to see a healthy son.
Yes.
When I first saw you, do you remember what I said?
At the funeral home?
Regardless of the crime, you will release the criminal.
If you were the doctor, a murderer came into your hospital
with a knife in his body and needed surgery right away,
will you treat him or let him die?
You would have to treat him.
Why?
Because I'm the doctor.
Same thing with a Lawyer. I do not decide whether there is a sin or not. The Judge does that.
That's why I never ask my clients the truth.
But, I really wanted to ask your dad.
I really wanted to protect your dad knowing he is innocent.
On top of that, I'm receiving a grand sum of 50,000 won (about $50)
Jin Woo, I really envy you.
That the father you want to protect is in this world.
Eat.
That lawyer... Don't trust him too much.
I checked it out, and his reputation is not good.
The person I need the most right now is that ahjussi.
The person who will prove my dad's innocence.
I also hope that your father isn't the culprit.
But, he keeps on saying he doesn't remember.
How do you think it looks to other people?
Does he really not remember?
They could doubt him.
My dad... has alzheimer's.
It's not that he's pretending he doesn't remember... He really doesn't remember.
[Monster! Give him the death penalty!]
Get up.
You worked hard.
- Ah! - Sorry.
It's all ready.
All right. Let's go then.
Isn't this.. this.. this... illegal?
Aigoo... If I do it, it's all legal. Let's go already.
Girls, does anyone want to have this?
This is a car I bought only a week ago.
You?
Then... bark like a dog once.
Arff, arff... Wurf, wurf,
Hey, if you bark like a dog and drink this, I'll give you the car.
Come here. Ah, come here!
What are you? This is my first time seeing you.
I'm here to make money.
Wurf, wurf... Wurf..
Wurf... Wurf, wurf...
Give it to me. The car keys.
Yeah, sure.
Challenge... fail.
I did everything you said to do.
I told you do it like a dog...
Like this, on all fours like a dog...
Wag your tail a bit and all...
Hey.
Pathetic, pathetic.
That you guys can't. Get out, what are you looking at.
Hey. Hey, how great.
Hey, Madam Cho, today it feels good, feels good. promising...
You guys stay out!
[Designated Driver]
Oppa. Oppa, that crazy guy did to me... To me...
Oh... What you had to go through... I'll pay back 100 times, 1,000 times over.
They're starting.
Hey, why did you do that to Oh Jung Ah?
Oh Jung Ah, that wench, made me feel like crap.
I treated her gently, but she didn't even know her place.
Don't you know when I lose it?
So you killed her?
She scarred my face first.
How was I supposed to know I'd kill a human being that easily?
Aiyoo, you crazy bastard.
Hey, that person going to prison in your place, what did he do wrong?
Is that my sin?
It's him who doesn't have anything that did it.
Did I ask him to go to the can in my place?
He is like that because he has nothing...
Hey, that attorney bastard, that's that attorney you wayled on, right?
That's some bad, damn asses...
Hey hey... dang that's a lot of money...
Hyungnim, we got found out.
It doesn't matter. We got the undeniable comments.
Now, he is going to come looking for me.
Hyungnim, how would you know?
He did a lot of bad things, and also has a lot to lose.
You're alright, eh?
[Die you murderer!]
[Die you murder. Monster. Give him death penalty.]
Jin Woo, I'm sorry.
I apologize for questioning why your dad couldn't remember.
If he wasn't my dad,
I would be suspicious like everyone else
If he kept saying he didn't remember.
Definitely.
Jin Woo.
Still, they shouldn't keep calling him a murderer.
There definitely has to be more truth out there.
I really want to believe what I saw this time.
The real truth. I want to know.
[Office of Attorney Park Dong Ho]
Aigoo. Mr. Nam, you came all the way here to a shabby office.
You know the court case is tomorrow, right?
I was preparing the evidence for tomorrow's case.
I was just able to find some important evidence.
Would you like to listen?
In Matthew 10:26
it states
"there is nothing covered over that will not be uncovered "
"and nothing secret that will not become known."
So you killed her?
She left a mark on my face first. How would I know that I would kill her so easily?
Serious...
How does it feel to make an innocent man a murderer?
So you're going to make an innocent man a murderer?
Then is it my sin?
It's his fault he doesn't have money. Who told him to
go to prison for me?
What the heck?!
I have another copy here.
You like money, right?
I can add 2 more zeros to your previous paycheck.
Oh wow, two more zeros?
If you knew how much I'm receiving for this case, you will be surprised.
Would you like to bet on something with me?
What bet?
A long time ago, I loved gambling but
after I became a lawyer, I cut it all off.
Aren't you curious about the reason?
A court case is almost like gambling with a person's life.
They can either rot forever in jail or
they can lose the money they saved a lifetime.
Using my words.
You probably don't know how hard of a responsibility that is.
Who's life is this case gambling with?
Which side are you on?
I'm planning on standing on the winning side.
- You..! - Oh my, wait! Wait!
Wait, I said!
You can rot in jail forever or lose money that was saved for a lifetime.
I can't even kill that nut case bastard.
Hey, are you going to just leave him alone?
You said nothing will harm me.
Hey! Aren't you answering?
I'll take care of it.
How did the other thing go?
The place was thoroughly cleaned out.
I can't believe you anymore. I'm going to have to go there myself.
Go to the villa.
So, this is the last place your father was, right?
[elevator]
What are we doing here?
Get me a drink.
I've seen these dresses before.
Really? When?
Can you see me okay?
But, there's a dress missing.
Jung Ah noona was killed somewhere near here.
Jung Ah was here?
She was wearing the red dress that was here.
If Jung Ah was here before she died...
Ah, that crazy bastard. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have anything to worry about.
Gyu Man, I'll check it out.
What is it?
Oh, it's nothing.
Hey, your getting better.
Excuse me, where is the attorney?
He left for some business.
Then, when is he returning?
How fickle.
We are lacking in people. You two must come.
- To where? - It's a PC room.
- Hey, let's go quickly.- Quickly, quickly.
Kiddo, just stay in the office. We'll be right back.
Make sure to take care of the business and the kids properly.
- Yes. - Yes.
Lets start.
Go to position.
Hurry and move.
- I'm here. - Ah, Sang Ho.
- Anything going on? - Everything is fine.
But, what about Dong Ho?
Ah, he had an appointment to attend to.
Is Dong Ho perhaps.. dating?
Ah, that woman..
He told me not to follow him and went out.
-He really is dating! - Oh really?
- I'll keep an eye out for her. - Alright, sounds good!
[Murder Case (Seo Cheon Female College student)]
This person...
This is the villa.
This is the day Jung Ha...
[Evidence No. 1]
Oh Jung Ah ruined my mood
I was kind to her, but she didn't even know her place.
Don't you know what happens when I lose it?
- So you killed her? - She scarred me first
- How was I supposed to know I'd kill someone that easily?- You crazy bastard.
What sin did the man who is going to jail for you commit?
Is that my sin?
It's his sin for not having money.
Who said to go to jail for me?
Thank you.
The bastard who killed Jung Ah Noona... It's Nam Gyu Man, isn't it?
Jin Woo, we'll have to talk later.
I can help you
You can help me.
This phone has been turned off. Please try calling again later...
Remember War of the Son
That lawyer, is he scheming something
Believe me, your dad can go home
Before you dad comes home, we need to clean this up first.
