"Is it all perhaps my fault?"
I thought about it time and time again.
I hated myself for having these thoughts, and I wanted to die.
Please raise your head. You did nothing wrong.
I really didn't know it would become big like this.
Even being in the same space with that person
is horrible and scary.
Defense, would you like to cross-examine?
No. I will question my own witness.
I understand. Please call the defense witness to the stand.
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The Unforgettable Team @ Viki
Please introduce yourself.
I am the assistant professor of the School of Business \ Administration at Seogyong University.
What kind of relationship did you have with Kim Han Na?
When she was a college student, I was a major course lecturer.
At that time, she sued you for the charge of sexual abuse, right?
Yes, that's right.
Then, did you stand trial for that law suit?
No. She withdrew her lawsuit immediately after I gave her the settlement money.
No, there was no such a thing like a settlement.
This is the record that shows the bank transfer of the settlement funds between the witness and Kim Han Na.
Objection. The defense is bringing up an event that has nothing to do with this trial and thus muddying the real issue.
The fact that Ms. Kim Han Na has been in another case of sexual abuse
is a very important centerpiece of this trial.
The objection is overruled.
Witness, aside from teacher-student relationship, what kind of relationship did you really have with Ms. Kim Han Na?
We were lovers.
So, you're saying that Ms. Kim Han Na sued her lover as the perpetrator of sexual abuse?
Yes.
You concealed the fact that you were a married man. You played around with me!
Honorable Judge, I really loved him, but the fact that he deceived me had me climbing the walls.
That's why I sued him!
Please calm down.
Who was the one that brought up the subject of settlement for the very first time?
It was Han Na. Han Na demanded money.
This is a trial where the life of a man who has worked for the company and his family with all sincerity is at stake.
The lies told by Ms. Kim Han Na, who has demanded money for sexual abuse in the past
must not ruin a man's life. The defense rests.
Not bad.
Episode 6
Seo Jin Woo, why are you working on this trial?
Don't you know whose company Il Ho Life is?
Because the Vice President chose me as his attorney.
What?
The Attorney... even if his client is guilty,
must win the trial no matter what.
There's no other reason.
If something like that was in your past, you should have told me already.
It was something that was already over.
He said if he was found guilty, his career would be over, so
I only withdrew because he begged and begged...
What about the settlement money?
It was not settlement money.
He was saying he was sorry about concealing his marriage, so
it was money he sent for comfort.
Your testimony trumps over everything in this trial.
But, if we get hit like this with no preparation, it will be hard for me to take it further.
[Cho Gun Won Illegal Gambling Site Usage related Evidence Data]
Let me ask you one thing. How did you find out?
The building that you come to, when you take 2 turns around the market in Yeomsudong.
4 years ago, I had been frequenting that gambling house.
I can remember everything including all the clothes you wore, but that's not important.
Go on. Because I won't ever be seeing your face again.
I hear your winning rate is 100%. You resemble me a lot.
Is that so?
This trial...why did you take it on?
This kind of sexual abuse case... if a wrong attorney is hired and gets a guilty verdict, the person's life is over.
I won't do that to my client.
You can save that kind of sales talk for your clients, and
for me... just give me the facts.
You became an attorney, because of your Father, right?
If you want to save your Father, you would need to reveal the right criminal.
Did you take this case to catch Nam Gyu Man?
Other than that... would you need more reason?
Very good. You're eating so well, my puppy.
Hey, when you mess up another trial, be sure to come here and shake it off, ok?
- Prosecutor, sir! - What?
I heard a young attorney took you to the woodshed today.
Republic of Korea has made it to the final!
In Ah, about that baseball...
Winning for a long time is not what's important.
Winning that one final round is what you have to do.
Because if you win the 9th inning, you take the game.
Forget completely about losing the trial today, and prepare for the next one.
Win that one.
And don't make an excuse to come here to eat gukbap again.
Yes, hello?
Yes, I understand. Yes.
He says to come up.
Who is it?
The new Manager Prosecutor.
Did you call us?
Regarding the Oh Jeong Ah murder case that occurred on November 2, 2011,
we are charging defendant Seo Jae Hyuk with a count of rape and murder.
Prosecutor Lee In Ah, what are you doing?
This is the newly appointed Manager Prosecutor Hong Moo Suk.
I am Prosecutor Lee In Ah.
Are you a rookie?
You must be all excited for work.
Yes.
How about a meal together to get to know each other better?
Of course we can get to know each other any time.
But I've been overloaded with work these days.
You taking on a lot of work is a known fact around here.
You also have as many not-guilty verdicts, as well.
We finally get to work together after a long time, so
I trust you will do a good job following my lead.
Prosecutor Lee, you too.
Section Chief. Please find out the contact info of the defendant's lawyer.
Yes, Prosecutor.
How have you been?
If I had known you became a lawyer like this, I would have looked you up already.
If you called me out for just small talk, I should get going.
Jin Woo.
For a lawyer to meet the opposing prosecutor in such a personal setting is quite uncomfortable.
See you in court.
Are you...the same Jin Woo I used to know?
Long ago, what you said to me, do you remember?
The truth wins over the facts.
No. I came to realize now that the truth is also relative.
Because it's relative,
I will always take the side of the truth that wins.
There is a new Manager Prosecutor, and it's Hong Moo Suk.
I... have never forgotten your Father's trial
from 4 years ago.
I... wanted to say that.
Aiyoo, eat slower!
You're gonna get fat. Stop eating, Ajumma.
I really... Oh, Lawyer Seo is here.
You're here.
Because Kim Han Na's testimony vacillated at the court session this time,
the prosecution will try to find a conclusive evidence.
For instance?
The video footage of the sexual abuse caught in action.
If you're referring to CCTV files, it wasn't in the evidence list.
The black box in the Vice President car was broken so nothing got recorded.
When the crime took place, a nearby car may have recorded the event.
And the prosecution would be looking for that.
Please get the record of vehicle activity in the parking garage on the day of the incident.
The black box footage that recorded the scene of the incident... we absolutely must find it.
It will take some time.
Aigoo, since it will take time, Lawyer Song, you need to go.
Eat the ramen after you come back.
Fighting.
Ah, I can't even eat my ramen.
Aiyoo, really. Fine, I'll be back. I'll be back.
Daugher of Chairman nam Il Ho is appointed to prosecution
Prosecutor Nam Yeo Kyung is Nam Gyu Man's younger sibling, right?
The adored youngest daughter of Chairman Nam Il Ho.
Yes.
Aren't you digging in way too deep from the start?
Still, if we want to obtain Nam Gyu Man's intel,
Nam Yeo Gyeong is the most certain and quick.
Walking one step a day...
does not allow me... that much time.
Hyung-nim, you were also here.
Here.
Look here, Attorney Park. I heard you think the Vice President will win the trial, right?
There are two more court sessions left, but
unless they come up with the kind of evidence that will flip over the trial,
that would be the case.
It doesn't look like the picture Gyu Man had in mind.
We can't leave the Vice President to win the case, right President Seok?
That's right.
Proceed as planned.
Bring Attorney Park up to speed, and work in conjunction with each other.
I'll handle it per your instructions.
Since when did the Chairman Nam Il Ho get involved with the Vice President's case?
From the beginning.
Then, are you saying the Vice President's incident has always been a plan devised by Chairman Nam Il Ho all along?
Until now since the beginning, I guess that's the case.
Anyone with even a speck of dust that interferes with his son's future
has been eliminated without hesitation. That's Chairman Nam Il Ho.
That you have been involved in this, too,
why did you hide that from me?
Why do you think Nam Il Ho kept it from his son?
Because he couldn't allow the very fact that his son could be harmed in any way.
I feel the same way.
That's why I didn't tell you.
Hyungnim.
How do you think I got to be where I am?
I can never bear to see you get hurt.
What is the next step Chairman Nam Il Ho spoke about?
There is irrefutable evidence.
[Lee In Ah]
Hey, get over here right now.
Did you drink?
I did drink.
Are you running diagnosis on me, right now?
Where are you?
Hey! When I tell you to come, you come, you talk too much!
Ahjumma, please give me another bottle of soju!
You there! Selfie stick!
The girl there has a face bigger than the guy's.
You can cover it like this.
Hey, what are you? What's with your drunk rant?
Excuse me. I apologize.
I was only telling the truth.
What am I doing on Christmas Eve?
Oh, Seo Jin Woo!
Do you think it was easy becoming a prosecutor?
Well, you're so smart that you can remember anything you see once,
so you must have passed the bar exam with ease, too.
But not for me.
I had to read things ten times,
thirty times,
I studied like that.
That's enough. You drank a lot.
Let go.
How can you think about defending Il Ho Group?
What about your Father?
What? Winning is the truth?
Hey, are you some kind of Park Dong Ho?
Then, you should do his accent too.
I'm getting drunk.
Get up.
Do you know why I became a prosecutor?
Your Father, how he was wronged,
I wanted to fight in your place for him.
I'm saying I wanted to fight in your place for him.
But why must we... Why must we fight each other?

Aigoo, look at that man. He's so solid.
Dad, isn't that Unni?
- Huh? - What?
Hey, In Ah!
- Omo, omo! - In Ah!
- In Ah.
Oh...Reeking of alcohol.
Um, Ahjusshi. Hello.
Jin Woo! You're Jin Woo, right?
My goodness! You are Jin Woo!
We should go for the 3rd round...3rd round...
Pizza... We also have pizza.
You drank a lot, huh?
Why did you...?
You really drank a lot, huh?
She is my daughter, but she's really heavy.
Here.
Aigoo, I thought she was being really quiet for a while.
She says she has no time for meeting possible marriage partners, but she goes around drinking like that.
Right, so you became a lawyer?
Ah, yes.
Ah, it turned out so well!
Our In Ah became a prosecutor-nim.
Aigoo, always saying prosecutor-nim, prosecutor-nim!
How is your father's health?
Yes, he's okay.
Our In Ah became a totally different person after your father's trial.
Thanks to that case, she became a prosecutor, you know?
Honey, how can you say it like that?
Hm?
Wow, this is awesome!
Wow, awesome, awesome!
Wow, daebak!
Ta-da!
- Hey, hey, hey. Put it here. - Here?
- There. - There!
Hey, it's Christmas Eve, yet there isn't even one girl you can go out with?
Dad, you think I have none? I am very popular!
Aigo, is that why you are doing this with your daddy here?
It's because I am worried that my single dad might get lonely.
Hey, hey, hey, let's not be like this, just two men, next year.
I'm good. Just do well for yourself.
- Come here. - Okay, okay.
- One, two, three. - One, two, three.
- Merry Merry Christmas! - Merry Merry Christmas!
Hey, hey, hey, eat the rotisserie chicken before it gets cold.
I...
Until I can come with Dad,
I will never come back here.
Hello, I'm Seo Jae Hyuk.
Ah... you must be the attorney.
But, you are much younger than I thought.
This, whose ring is this?
It's really... pretty.
It was your present to Mom when you confessed to her.
Take a good look.
Ah, this must be your mother's ring.
When your Father was picking it out,
he must have mulled over it quite a bit.
Dad,
I...
Take a good look.
I'm Jin Woo, your son Seo Jin Woo, huh?
Ah...
Please take a good look...
I'm your son Jin Woo, huh? Dad...
Mr. Attorney, I...
I think you got the wrong person.
I...
I have no son.
Dad.
His name is Seo Jin Woo. He passed the bar exam as soon as he dropped out of high school.
He became the youngest lawyer in Korea at the age of 22.
It's only been a year since he became a licensed, practicing attorney, but he seems to be pretty successful.
More than anything, he has a special ability...
- What ability? - He supposedly has a good memory.
I thought laser beams come out of his eyes or something.
So what if he has a good memory?
It's not just a good memory. It's absolute memory.
If he sees anything once, he remembers every little bit.
It's all thanks to that absolute memory that he came a lawyer at such a young age.
I've heard through the grapevine that he is preparing for a retrial of the Seochon female college
student murder case. He also seems to be going around meeting people related to that case.
How is Seo Jae Hyuk's condition? I heard he has Alzheimer's.
Now, he can't even recognize his own son.
I don't think you have to worry about him.
The father cannot remember a thing, but his kid remembers too much?
What a riot... when it's not like a sitcom or nothing...
At the last minute, a buzzing fly
is bothering the heck out of a lot of people...
When, if left alone,
that life is a goner, anyway...
Hyungnim, you called for me?
Keep an eye on Jin Woo until the trial is over.
Ah, I understand.
You must be busy serving the country. When did you find the time to draw?
Just here and there. I have not been drawing much lately because of work.
I'd like to keep one of your paintings at my house. Can't something be worked out perhaps?
One second please.
You've been glued to this piece, since a while ago.
Because I sense deep sorrow within the deep blue color.
Sorrow?
"All my life, she was my painting."
It's what Chagall said, when the woman he really loved, died.
Because Chagall, immersed in sorrow, used mainly blue color, too.
I really enjoyed your artworks.
Thank you. I'll see you again.
Since when have you two known each other?
If President Nam Gyu Man knew, he would faint from the shock.
Did you think I wouldn't know the reason why you took on the Vice President's trial?
The Vice President managed money under Chairman Nam Il Ho for a long time.
Whether a company is big or small, the fellas managing money
know the most number of secrets.
And you must have asked the Vice President for the slush fund
account books rather than a retainer.
Why? Are you afraid?
Next in line after Nam Gyu Man... is you.
I... have never thought our contract was over.
I am being sincere.
But, Jin Woo, do not cross the line any more.
This is a warning.
That contract is finito already.
That once I trusted you...
I am going crazy regretting that.
I hear the Vice President's case is headed by the newly appointed Prosecutor Lee In Ah.
Yes. I heard that she requested that case.
In order to build a clean and trustworthy image of Il Ho Life Insurance
we are pouring out billions of won a year in advertising
I wish you could take care of it quickly so it won't be talked about in the media any more.
Aren't there more other better prosecutors?
Of course. It's not like you're asking to cover up a crime and rather you want the perpetrator to be punished.
That's our job.
I will appoint a veteran prosecutor to this case right away.
Oh! Seok Kyu!
- It's been a really long time. - Sit, sit.
- Ah, Soo Bum. - It's been a long time.
It's not same as when we were in school together these days. I'm sorry.
Soo Bum, you look thinner.
Me?
Oh, you must be just imagining.
- Anyway, how have you... - By the way, I heard
that you are the judge in our Vice President's case.
Gyu Man, if you called me out for special favors then...
Hey, hey, hey.
It's me, Nam Gyu Man. The President of Il Ho Life Insurance, Nam Gyu Man.
If I had tried to pull something, I wouldn't come to you.
When I meet with you guys, I don't want to feel any anxiety.
Yeah, you can meet us without feeling anxious. You can judge to your heart's content.
Have a drink.
Hey, Seok Gyu, you're still not seeing anyone?
Since you being a judge, there must be a line of girls wanting you.
Honestly, these days, I have feelings for someone.
If my Yeo Kyung heard this, she would be disappointed.
Hey, Yeo Kyung is just like a sister to me.
Aish, let's drink.
Prosecutor Lee.
Ah.
By any chance, do you like coffee?
You do realize that I am the prosecutor in your case, right?
Isn't it hard preparing for the molestation case?
But still, it's nothing compared to the suffering the victim is going through.
2 years ago, I was a judge in a case where a high ranking female director of a big company accused her subordinate for sexual assault.
Was he found guilty?
Yes.
And not too long afterwards, the man killed himself.
Pardon?
The truth, there was a physical contact under mutual consent.
But if word got out, it would hinder the woman's chance of promotion so she sued him for sexual assault.
In this trial, I will base my judgement on a decisive evidence.
I don't want rule anyone guilty from false accusations.
Oh, cold! Oh, cold!
Oh, so cold!
You're so over dramatic.
Ah, really.
Did you find the back box?
I'm going through all the cars listed but I still couldn't find anything.
There are so many cars.
It is very important so please continue searching.
Okay.
By the end of today, turn over all the files on the Vice President's Molestation case and you can be done with it.
I can't do that. There's no reason that I should.
I guess since you're new, you don't know me yet.
I am not the kind who would sit back and watch my branch turn out acquittals in my court.
The prosecutor in charge will be appointed today.
And I will give you a substantially soft case.
Prosecutor, someone contacted us with information about a black box.
If I can't turn over today's hearing, I will give up on this completely.
I will definitely win this case.
- Record of vehicle entrance
It was on the list of the vehicle entrance record but we couldn't locate it until now.
The informant contacted us after watching about the trial on the news?
Yes.
Step on it. The black box must be in our possession no matter what.
I understand.
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by The Unforgettable Team @ Viki
After watching the trial on the news, I looked for this.
I remembered that I had parked in the building.
Thank you for the information.
You can check this now, right?
Yes, Prosecutor.
[Defendant]
[Prosecutor]
Lawyer Seo. Did my family return home safely?
Yes.
Your wife is worried about you a lot.
When I was first arrested
I was just appalled and I thought I could be free soon.
Because I am blameless.
But, when I saw that video earlier
Regardless of my faith
I had to doubt myself whether I had committed such horrendous act
Since then, I began to fear myself.
Vice President, in cases like this, you cannot be swept away by the atmosphere.
Not until the judge make the final ruling
you are innocent.
Lawyer Seo, right now,
I don't fear the company or anyone else in this world.
But, my wife and my daughter is whom I fear the most.
I'm afraid they would despise me like an insect
and leave me.
Aren't you Mr. Kim Kyung In?
Is my daughter doing well?
Yes.
She recently graduated and now she is at a big company.
Yes, she grew up so well.
Why haven't you gone back to your family?
I am a sinner.
After the company went bankrupt
I had to run from the creditors.
So how can I show myself now and go back to the family?
You daughter
Don't you miss her?
Every night when I dream
the times I spent with my family
come to my memory.
The happy memories...I want to make them again.
So even though it's hard, I am working hard again.
Dad, you try it.
Isn't it so?
Please tell my daughter,
that this father is so sorry because,
I couldn't be beside her.
I'm sorry...
Yes Madam, this is Seo Jin Woo lawyer.
I have something to ask you.
Right now, locate the informant who submitted the black box video.
What? Why that?
That video is fake.
The informant is the key to this event.
What?
Let's go.
Ahjussi! I gave you the money!
Please Ahjussi!
From what I see by following him,
I think Jin Woo is causing trouble.
Okay.
Eghh..
You worked hard. -Yes, hyungnim.
The trial will end tomorrow. When it gets calm, I'll contact you.
Thank you.
Jin Woo! I'm pretty sure I warned you!
Let go! Let go of me!
That's enough.
Now, don't even think about catching Nam Kyu Man.
Do you understand?
This bastard.

Your mother's surgery has ended well so don't worry.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
Mom, it was hard right?
Now it's good. It's all over.
I met Kim Han Na's father.
Your father, told me to tell you something.
"I'm sorry,
for not being by your side."
So what? What is it that you want to tell me?
There's no other greater pain to the child,
than not having a father beside you.
You will probably know this to be true.
I hope that your mother will heal faster.
This are my sincere words.
But, right now Kim Han Na,
you are stealing someone else's father.
Don't forget that.
Dad. Today's the last trial for vice president.
Even so, I'm nervous. I'm going to look at everything with my own eyes and if something seems wrong, I am going to appeal.
It's too hard,
for the vice president to come back to his original spot,
when there's even a video with evidence. -Dad!
I raised and protected my company so well.
How dare he make my company's reputation so bad!
I've shortlisted the candidate list for Vice Presidency.
Who is the one that listens very well out of these people?
It's Director Lee Young Ho. You tell him to crawl or play dead and he'll do them all.
Really?
What about Park Byun? -He went to the court. When they make a decision, he said he will tell us.
Go out.
Uh, it's me. What are you doing tonight? Come out.
Let's drink together.
Why? What happened?
Ah, today?
It's the day the Vice President will be ground up.

- Oh my..
Today, if I get a guilty verdict,
I understand that I will be confined right away.
Yes, you are right.
This letter, can you deliver it to my family?
Even if the world condemns me
I ask that they would believe me.
This trial will not be lost.
You can give it to them yourself.
We will now begin the final hearing.
Stop here.
This is the black box evidence submitted by the prosecutor.
As you can see on the screen,
the defendant is not wearing a ring.
But the defendant, after the wedding, has never taken off his ring outside of his home.
This is the list of his possessions at the time of the defendant's arrest.
On the list, there is a ring.
But as you can see, on the screen of the black box video, he is not wearing a ring.
Haven't you ever thought that the defendant might have taken off his ring and put it in his pocket because he felt guilty?
What are you trying to say?
Are you trying to say that the evidence that the prosecutor has presented is fake?
Yes. The guy in the black box video is not the defendant.
If he is not the defendant, are you saying that I have edited the video and made it fake?
You have presented a video that is fake.
In order to determine the authenticity of the video, I call Kim Han Na to the witness stand.
Witness, in one month, you will finish your intern at the Il Ho company, right?
And you haven't yet found a new job.
Recently, there was a robbery where you live, right?
The lawyer is asking questions that has nothing to do with this trial.
Please stay on topic and ask questions.
Recently, the witness had lost all the money she had save for her mother's surgery in a burglary.
But, yesterday, because of your mother's cancer, she went under a big surgery.
Did your mother's surgery end well?
Is the question hard?
I asked you if your mother's surgery ended well.
Yes.
It must be an amount more than your 9 month salary even without spending a penny.
Where did you come to such money all of a sudden?
You didn't have the money for the operation let alone for hospital stay.
You couldn't even repay a quarter of your student loans so you couldn't take out any more loans.
Let me ask again. Where did the money come from?
Aren't you using the Vice President for money?
Objection! The lawyer is asking questions that has nothing to do with this trial.
I'm warning you lawyer.
What do you think your mom will say when she sees you right now?
Objection! Stop right now lawyer!
Do you really think your mother would've wanted a surgery with the way you got the money?
Lawyer! -Kim Han Na!
Is that guy in the video really the vice president?
Answer me!
The vice president,
is innocent.
He didn't do anything to me.
I'm sorry. I'm really, really sorry.
I had no other way to get money.
Seoul Central District Court
This incident could not have been devised by Kim Han Na alone.
That has nothing to with me. I revealed that my client is innocent.
My work here is done.
Finding out who is behind this whole incident is your share.
You're the prosecutor.
Lawyer Seo Jin Woo.
Ah.
I had no idea you represented our Vice President.
Oh, your face...
It's nothing.
Thank you for defending our Vice President so brilliantly.
As a token of my gratitude, I want to buy you a drink.
How about it?
Sure.
Today at the Seoul District Court, the Vice President who was accused of molesting a female intern
has been declared innocent.
Kang had been intoxicated and in the second round of drinks...
I have no face, Chairman.
On Gyu Man's clothes, there won't be any stain, not even one, right?
You don't have to worry.
All will be taken care of from Lawyer Park and my end.
Say it again.
The Vice President has been declared innocent.
Who made the trial like this?
Bring that lawyer bastard before me right now.
Right now before me! Right now!
Oppa!
Who is this?
President Nam Gyu Man.
You know me, right?
Hey, Gyu Man. Who is this?
I am Seo Jin Woo who defended the Vice President.
Ah. I heard about the trial.
You are so young and quite skilled. Or may be lucky?
It's a compliment.
In the court, they don't look at your age.
Thanks to this friend, our company's image was barely restored.
Gosh, how can I repay you?
Should I offer him a position in our firm?
Thank you for the offer, but I have my own law firm.
President Nam. I think you've had enough drinks. Why don't we call it a night?
Sure.
President Nam Gyu Man.
It's been 4 years. It saddens me that you should leave so soon.
If you want to see me so badly, come visit me at my office someday.
Next time, it will be in court.
I will put you on the stand.
