[Episode 11]
Dad. Dad. No you can't, it's my dad.
Dad!
Who are you?
What's wrong dad? It's me dad.
My son?
Please don't cry. It's alright okay?
I became a lawyer.
What? Really?
Dad, how could you go like this?
You can't go like this...
Dad, now you don't have to feel the pain anymore.
It's still not over for me.
No matter what it takes... I'm going to vindicate my dad.
Really.
So watch over me.
[Deceased Seo Jae Hyuk]
[1 month later]
I feel sorry about what happened to your father.
You feel sorry...
It won't be long for that bastard who incited your perjury either.
He'll soon be like you.
Why? Do you want to get revenge on him or something?
If, by chance, you're entertaining a thought like that, forget it.
Because even if an army of attorneys like you attacked him,
he would be unscathed.
You got 2 years for perjury, right?
If added punishment kicks in, you'd have to remain in there for minimum 30 years.
Because they began investigating your illegal activities now.
You... What have you done?
I needed your testimony until the retrial.
Now that you became useless...
you might as well get your punishment.
Give some serious thought to what dirty deeds you did
while being finger-pointed by people,
and as you rot your life away.
Hey, Seo Jin Woo! What did you do?
Hey, Seo Jin Woo! Hey!
[Witness♪ 4 Lee Jung Hoon] [Father's Doctor]
[Hong Song Prison Medical Chief] [Age 58 Park Dong Jin.]
You turned me in, didn't you? It's you, right?
This bastard!
I'd like a special visitation for our chairman.
Sure. Have a nice time with his family.
Wearing the mask of a prison medical chief,
receiving a lot of money for providing personal cells,
suspension of execution of sentence, and parole,
he is like a cancer to a society.
[Suspension of Execution of Sentence abuse - Hosan Group Chairman Case]
But why would you give this to me?
Judge Kang Suk Kyu, as a human rights attorney's son,
you're a judge who is ambitious and
have a strong sense of justice,
do you need more reason?
Even though he is deceased now, my father's retrial,
I really thank you for making the difficult decision.
[Call History]
[Lee Chi Aen (Restaurant)]
Aigoo, hello!
Long time no see.
Shall we go?
Did you not get that evidence illegally?
That kind of evidence should be thrown away.
Why would you bring it to court?
Honorable judge, what the defense is claiming is an insult to the court.
Please delete it from the record right away!
An insult?
On the contrary, it's the prosecution who is insulting the court!
Our defendants, at the bidding from the year 2015,
did not try to win it all, and
did not violate the fundamental rule of
construction business. This is a fact.
Defense! Are you trying to block the sky with your palm?
Prosecution, Defense, I am warning you both.
If you don't control yourselves, I'll have you all dismissed.
We actually work well with each other.
Being on the same boat, it's no surprise that we row the boat in the same direction.
Since our hands fit like a glove, the trial is just a game.
Being in the same team with you is the best thing ever.
You know that I used to have 100% win rate before it dropped, right?
I'll need a lot of your help to get that win rate back.
Let's make it happen.
I heard when you took over Il Ho Group, your business is even expanding into culture distribution trade,
do you have any secret strategy to succeed like this on a daily basis?
Well, I don't really have a secret or anything, and
it's just intuition. How do I say this...
should I call it a business insight perhaps,
it's just something I feel...
Ah, if I describe it like this, I suppose I could come across like I'm arrogant.
Not at all. I also heard that you even receive and
direct customer claims yourself, so
you must have a very meticulous personality.
Our chairman used to always say that we're all family.
Not only consumers who purchase our products,
but also affiliates we work with, they are all Il Ho's family.
If we didn't have them, the Il Ho Group, as we know now, wouldn't have been possible.
Thank you for your time today, and we will try our best to make this a good broadcast.
Ah yes, please take care.
Yes, please take care. Yes.
Please do us a favor and use the pretty pictures. Good bye.
Please take care on your way out. Please guide them well. Please take care now.
What ever happened to the trial with Lawyer Park and Department Head Mr. Hong?
You see..the trial for our company it's a 100% win-win.
Those two are just match made in heaven you know.
You look like your in a good mood today. Yea?
Why don't you call Seok Kyu and tell him that we should go have a drink soon.
Okay man.
Okay. Yea? You have improved with your English.
Thank You.
[We Hope for a True Investigation]
[Lamentable Sea Of Tears.]
[We Hope For a True Investigation.]
Oh...
I didn't even call you. What are you doing there anyways?
Did you call him?
No.
President Nam, since the case ended, I came to report to you.
I saved you money by stopping the expenditure.
Sit down, sit down.
Yes.
I heard that you did well.
My head hurt because of the trial.
But do you not meet Seo Jin Woo these days?
Aigoo, ever since joining President Nam Gyu Man's group,
The company's law team has improved a lot.
In one month, I've gotten over 20 prosecution cases from the court.
From now on, as long as I'm here, you can just focus on the big things.
I understand. Let's see each other next time.
Then, we will get going.
Good work.
Lawyer Park has become different.
He must have done the calculation.
He's betrayed me once, can't he do it twice?
Watch him well.
But for you-
Hey. Put your head down.
Say it again.
I doing all this for you.
I don't believe it.
You can't believe humans.
How long are you going to live without seeing In Ah?
Why would I see a girl who quit being a prosecutor and left the house?
In Ah worried about it a lot and chose,
just let it go now.
It's all so In Ah will do well.
What parent likes it when their child is wrong?
Honey. It's been a month since In Ah has left the house. Aren't you worried?
My heart feels refreshing after she left.
It doesn't make a difference even when I wipe it.
[The business built by three generations is collapsing due to the illegal lawsuit]
[Police, investigate Il Ho Group now!]
Aigoo, priceless bastards.
Father! Father!
Let go of me!
Excuse me. Leave him.
You say it's because of our light bulbs that the microwave exploded?
Because of your lawsuit boss, our company is finished.
The wrongdoings will be decided during the trial.
Chairman sir. This is so unfair to us.
I didn't do anything wrong with these light bulbs.
Oh please, please take back the lawsuit. Please chairman sir.
I ask you for a favor chairman.
Let go! Let go!
Father, let's go.
Let go!
President! President!
How did you manage your customer?
Father, it's not a big deal.
We are just trying to solve a crisis by law but it seems like they are just overreacting.
You have to cut off the subcontractors that are not obedient from the very beginning you know.
Of course. There are so many subcontractors that would love to work with us.
Don't worry.
Now, you are not a president of an individual company but you are a face to our group.
Yes, I understand.
Byundoori( Outskirts) Law firm.
Ahjumma.
Come in. She'll come soon.
Don't tell In Ah that I came.
Give this to her.
I'm sorry. I'll send her home quickly.
Eat a lot.
Oh. You're good at making ramen.
This tastes like my mom's kimchi.
Perhaps, did my mom come here?
She's worrying about you a lot right now.
How about going back home now?
I have to go back.
But then I want to be able to give my business card to my mother in an honorable way.
I am still a newbie when it comes to being a lawyer.
[Please Defend and Protect Miso Light Bulb Comapny](A company that has poured in hard and diligent work for 30 years. A company that has retained confidence. To avoid unfair sacrifice and an unjust lawsuit and unfair buck-passing.)
He's still doing that.
He is the son of President Seo of Miso Light Bulb Company. Hey Hyungnim,
A light bulb company that has been around for 3 generations, closed down in an instant
I am pretty sure your father is pretty troubled right now.
It will be a big help.
There's only this lawyer that would take this trial.
Take care of your father well.
Hyungnim, you're really cool.
[Byundoori Lawfirm. Lawyer: Seo Jin Woo.]
Yes.
Did you call me?
A disposition to one's superior rape incident, you are the one that is in charge of the procession right prosecutor?
Yes.
Why don't you wrap it up by disposing it.
We already secured the evidence and an eye witness for that sir.
Director Kim is clear for the prosecution.
The thing that is even more clear is the fact that you are below me.
With this are you just becoming a shield for IL HO GROUP sir?
Think of it easily.
Don't dig your own grave like former prosecutor Lee In Ah by being so nosy.
Go out.
Aigoo, investigator Bae.
What is it suddenly?
I have something to tell you.
What is it?
You know the Yongin Water Truck Accident... You said that the the former assailant was your father right?
Is there a problem?
Well that is... I feel a little bothered that you are working in the law firm of IL HO GROUP.
Before your father got into an accident,
he told me about Nam Il Ho.
Then, Nam Il Ho tried to quickly cover up the incident.
Excuse me. Is Lawyer Seo Jin Woo here?
He's not here right now.
You want to consult your case with him?
Yes.
It's a little hard for Lawyer Seo Jin Woo.
It has to be Lawyer Seo Jin Woo.
We were able to get the last investigation sealed so
With that starting from tomorrow.
Huh? I see you here.
Is this a coincidence for us here?
Investigator Kwak are you dealing with like a new business or something?
Please go in first.
As a beginner in the real world you seem to be going through hardship for being a lawyer.
Huh? So How?
Should I give you some thick cases for you to solve?
I came to warn you.
No. Should I call it a tip?
- The back that you stabbed, it could always go back to you like a boomerang. -Tsk Tsk Tsk.
I've done trials twice.
You still haven't realized?
Do you think you can step on Nam Gyu Man's shadow?
There's nothing you can do with your strength.
There will be good news soon.
Ah, this room, right?
I apologize.
What took you so long?
Who was that earlier? He seemed to be a lawyer.
Pish, Lawyer my ass.
Those guys don't know their place and just leaping around everywhere.
That's not any of your concern boss.
This office seems very charming and cute.
Sunbaenim.
Hey there kiddo, I gave up on your iron clad stubborness.
Ah, after you have came by I dug through some incidents relating to Chief Hong and
In the past you've been wanting to reexamine that Seo Cheon University Student incident right?
Yes.
According to this here Chief Hong was also in charge of the suicide of Oh Jung Ah's father.
[Suicide case of Cheongmoon-dong (Oh Seong Taek)]
[Autopsy Appraisal Statement]
You received a call from Prosecutor Tak, right?
Yes.
Relating to this case here, I would like to browse through the investigation record from that time period and also some evidential data as well.
This was finished as a suicide case.
There's a testament too.
Could I see that testament again?
The core cause of this incident brings out whether there was relations with the brokers so we enforced the investigation but
According to the outcome of the investigation, the suspect named Ham Ji Seok was revealed to have no suspicions whatsoever.
One moment, please. One moment.
Excuse me. Here. This thing contains the information and data for certain.
Chief, you'll want to see this too.
What are you doing? Pull him out quickly!
Chief. This, this!
Who are you that you're making such a fuss?
I am Attorney Seo Jin Woo.
Lawyer? Fine, open it.
Let's see how nutritious this information is.
Let's watch.
Here.
You got the wrong amount here.
Once you take another drink then I will give you the rest.
What's wrong? It's not like this is our first time
What's wrong?
Even a punk like you should do perfect calculations to make everything perfect.
Hey, investigator Kwak, I take care of you almost regularly.
Have you gotten a strong sponsor?
You know Il Ho Group's President Nam Gyu Man right?
I am working for that punk.
If you mean President Nam Gyu Man then that guy with a temper?
Hot temper my ass. It's just a guy that happens to have a lot money and he is a good for nothing with some anger management issues.
Investigator Kwak, by tomorrow I will certainly have it all in your account.
Yes, yes.
Investigate the situation and see whather it is true and then report it immediately!
Yes, I understand.
In the Bible, there's a saying like this,
'Your sins will find you.'
Seo Jin Woo, you bastard.
Answer that call. You don't have to be polite in front of me.
Perhaps, the content of your call is about you having a bunch of uninvited guests at your turf.
I thought it wasn't enough with just a video.
I threw them some extra baits, and they bit like right away.
General Manager sir, we are in a bit of trouble here. The Department of Prosecution is here.
Hello there, President Nam. It's me.
[Oh Sung Taek]
[My beloved Jeong Ah, I can still hear you voice clearly...]
[Fingerprints, Imprints, Handwriting...]
The handwriting test results have come out.
Thank you.
[appraisal statement]
[The handwriting of the last will and the letter handwriting do not match.] [ 1.16.2016.]
We will end the statement with the words that were left by Miss. Oh Jung Ah's father.
To Seo Jae Hyuk that killed my daughter, I hope that he receives a severe punishment.
Hey! Excuse me! I told you the president isn't here! Really!
It's fine. I told him to come.
President Nam, if you really take care of this for me this time
I will pay you back for life.
Why should I?
What?
It's because I'm a loser with a lot of anger.
I have no idea how I could help you.
He's a rich loser with a lot of anger.
What kind of...
President Nam, I'm sorry. I wasn't in the right state of mind because I was drunk from alcohol.
Detective Kwak.
Just because you are a person doesn't make you like every other person you know...
Like you, like this.
Like this. There is a person that barely survives by putting their head glued down to the floor
And also there is a person like me that has to live like this for life without knowing what crawling even is.
Yea? Haaa..
Our Detective Kwak wasn't able to get that. Yea?
Oh, that look.
If you're thinking of threatening me because you know my secret,
Put it away forever.
I might kill you.
You got it?
Was it more shocking that he was abandoned by the police,
or was it more shocking that he was abandoned by Nam Gyu Man?
It's what that person inflicted on himself.
How is the investigation on Hong Moo Suk going?
I checked today, and Jung Ah's father's testament was fake.
I been to three different places and according to them the writing is definitely different.
That's right. He was never the type that would go so vainly like that.
If I add all the data received by both you and Prosecutor Tak
[Prosecutor that's in Charge.] [Seoul Central Prosecutors Office] [Section Chief Team.]Hong Moo Seok. We would be able to catch at least his tail.
Judge Kang, there's no reason you called me just to eat dinner.
Truthfully, it's about the trial I let go of last time.
The suspect of that case was a janitor for President Nam Gyu Man of IL HO GROUP.
The murder incident was near his villa.
Why didn't you search his villa?
I did proceed. So I was able to find an object that was hidden by the suspect.
Isn't it all written in the documents?
No it is not. It was fallen in the villa of an investigator.
The fact that you didn't investigate the most important place-
Judge Kang.
I know that you have a lingering affection because you had to drop out of the retrial case.
That incident is all over.
The person who sinned died as well.
There could be another person that could possibly be accused of the crime.
There are lots of suspicious parts.
What is this?
- What is this? -Oh, a few days ago, this came in from the Miso Light Bulb.
You know well that I don't have time to spare right now.
- Ms. Office Manager.-There is person that wants to be consulted by you no matter what.
Okay. I guess when you say no there isn't much I can do.
You're Attorney Seo Jin Woo, right?
He is the client that I was telling you about a moment ago, who is representing Miso Light Bulb.
I'm taking a break as a lawyer right now.
I'm begging you. Please help me.
I'm sorry.
Please save my father!
My father is innocent.
The person who can save my father
is you, Attorney Seo Jin Woo.
My dad is innocent.
He can't go to prison like this!
As a matter of fact, innocent people also go to prison.
Ahjusshi, please defend him.
Find another lawyer.
Please save my father!
My father is innocent.
The only person who can save him is you, Attorney Seo Jin Woo.
Lawyer Song. Regarding the incident for Miso Light Bulb, please find that out for me.
Prosecutor Hong. There are flies here in front of our company that want to lick every little juice we have.
Before it gets too noisy, please proceed with the force discrimination regarding Miso Light Bulb Company.
Once they smell money, there will be blowflies that are bound to infest everywhere.
I'll gather the people right away.
Yes. And you President Seok, why don't you get your boys out to give them a little scare.
I will do that right away sir.
When it comes to getting your hands dirty, it would be more tidy if investigator Kwak takes care of the situation.
Oh investigator Kwak? But that guy is so different when it comes to playing the game.
I fired him to maintain the quality.
So therefore; President Seok.
Ah, yes.
Instead of investigator Kwak, please send me someone that could take care of things in a tidy manner.
I understand. I'll send one right away.
Yes.
[Il Ho Group]
Hello, this...
Hello, please read this.
Read this once. Thank you.
[Please protect Miso Light Bulbs]
This trial, I will take it.
Father. This is the lawyer for the trial.
I'm Seo Jin Woo.
You're very young for a lawyer.
Are you worried because I'm young?
No, what are you saying?
Our opponent is IL HO
So at first the lawyers that were initially interested all refused.
No matter how much I think about it, going head on head with such a big conglomerate like IL HO
It would have been very burdensome.
However, with me..I will become the winning truth.
Lawyer Park. I heard the the opposing lawyer in this trial is Seo Jin Woo.
It seems to be like that.
It's become fun.
I am so curious to know if are just being loyal to me with words only, Lawyer Park.
Show me properly this time.
Don't you worry sir. Just because I am going head on head with Jin Woo doesn't change the fact that I am a skilled man.
I do know your skills very well, Lawyer park but, at times you get distracted here and there. That's your only problem.
Aigoo, just because I win every time, you think I am able to do this very easily. Should I lose for you this once?
I should become a lawyer or something. Should I beg you or something, even if doesn't suit my style to do so?
This thing called a trial, is a fight that you risk your life for you know...
In my life, I don't know how things will change in the future.
I am director Kim that's been referred to by President Seok.
Hey there guy. You can put that away when it comes to meeting with our President Nam Gyu Man. You are not a good for nothing thug.
Please do a good job okay?
You know Attorney Park from Il Ho Law Firm, right?
Watch what he does.
The factory is small and old but this place has been here since my grandpa first opened it and it's been around for 32 years.
We have made a Light Bulb with our know how and all.
So... you have been delivering the light bulbs for 12 years to IL HO ELECTRONICS right?
Yes, that's correct. In the meantime we were doing business with IL HO without any problems.
But suddenly they are putting a blame on us for the explosion that's happened.
Mr. Attorney, this is really unfair.
This is a company that my dad has worked hard for to protect.
Oh, Attorney Seo!
You're a little late today.
I did two trials today.
Maybe it's because I am a lawyer with a former prosecution background. I am so busy since I have so many clients to go around.
Let's go. It's cold.
Hey, where are you going?
To my office. I am going to my office.
The office is this way.
What's wrong with you lately? Aren't you working a little bit too hard these days?
Oh, I must have been thinking of something else.
Let's go!
[Small Business is the Power.]Brand-name masterpiece that has come down for 3 generations 'Miso Light Bulb']
[IL HO GROUP SUBCONTRACTOR CREDIT CRISIS.]
[Nam Il Ho, Age 62][Il Ho Group Chairman]
Man, this Miso Light Bulb seems like a real nice company.
That seems to be true according to this document here.
Just for making one bad light bulb this place is totally going under.
-Do you think that too? -Pardon?
Why do you think there is only this much of the explosive component in the microwave?
High voltage condenser and magnetron transfer. Aren't they the main focus?
That is so true.
Instead of IL HO GROUP, put this thing into another place.
I understand.
Place a sticker there too. Yes.
What are you doing when the trial hasn't happened yet?
We are now conducting an execution performance.
If you continually disturb us from conducting the execution performance you'll be punished accordingly.
Stick on there too okay? Here too.
Since the court has levied on the property anyway,
you just have to take some kids with you and scare them a bit.
Yes.
And you are keeping close watch on Attorney Park Dong Ho, right?
Yes. He hasn't made any moves.
Okay. If Dong Ho seems to have suspicious actions,
You have to let me know first, understand?
Yes, Hyungnim.
Go.
Lawyer. What happens to our factory?
Since the court is taking steps to seize the property for delinquent taxes,
there is no way to stop it. Since the trial will begin soon, we have no other way than to prove Miso Bulb's non-liability
and recover damages from Il Ho Group.
For now, please eat.
You have to be healthy to win this fight.
That's right, Dad.
Mr. Attorney will prove for us that we are not liable.
Hurry, let's eat.
Everyone's kid sister is mobbing the company building, saying they have been wronged. They think it's their living room.
We are getting sued left and right.
If you are not careful, that can develop into a class action.
Because a conglomerate deals with its numerous subcontractors in similar ways.
Hey, is it fun to see a friend suffering a headache?
Majority of small businesses fighting a civil lawsuit against a conglomerate will go bankrupt.
Gyu Man, at least you should come up with a sure alternative for everyone to co-exist.
So? Are you saying it's all my fault?
How can a judge be so one-sided?
Hey, that's enough. Friends shouldn't fight like this.
Can't we stop talking about work?
You stay out of it.
Where do you think you are butting in?
Gyu Man. Don't be like that in front of other people.
It's not good to see between friends.
Okay. I understand, between friends.
When a microwave oven explodes, what has gone wrong?
It can explode if a fuse blows.
However, a normal product will almost never blow its fuse.
Does that mean some part other than the bulb can also become the cause of an explosion?
Yes, unless it is the consumer's misuse,
the causes of an explosion based on a technical defect can vary.
Yes, thank you for your help.
What are you doing?
You mortgaged the factory when you borrowed money from us.
So we are claiming possession.
If you want to go inside, pay back the money.
What did you say? These guys!
D-Dad!
Dad!
Min Soo! Min Soo!
It hurts!!!
- Dad! Dad!- Min Soo!
Mr. Attorney.
Yes, please tell me.
My father..., father...
You can't enter since we are exercising our right of possession.
I am Miso Bulb's legal representative. Move aside.
Then, you must know you are trespassing.
You are the one trespassing.
What?
The charges of breaking and entering, deliberate obstruction of business and refusing to clear out when ordered to do so!
More than anything else, people like you don't have the right to execute on properties, to begin with.
Get lost within 10 seconds. The police are coming.
Dad, please don't be like this!
Talk to me, to me!
We're not done yet, huh?
Dad! Please look at me, huh?
Ah, please listen to me!
Dad!
Min Soo.
I can't handle this.
For showing you how pathetic I am,
I'm sorry.
President, you shouldn't do this in front of your son.
Attorney, thank you... for being the only person on our side in the whole world.
Your son came to me and said that his father had not done anything wrong.
He asked me to save his father.
When your son is struggling to save you,
how can the father try to kill himself?
This is too cruel for your son.
A month ago, I couldn't protect my father.
In the end, he passed away.
Have you thought about your son who would have to live without a family member?
Then, you have to live.
No matter what, you have to live.
So you have to let the world know that you did not do anything wrong!
Miso Bulb is an ethical company committed to good workmanship for generations.
I will prove it for you, without fail.
Dad! Dad!
Dad! Dad.
Min Soo.
Dad, just look at you...
I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Min Soo.
Dad! How can you leave me behind all alone?
My dad has been so wronged. What do I do?
Dad! Dad!
Your father will be okay.
Thank you, Mr. Attorney.
You saved my father's life.
Mr. Attorney.
Maybe we should just give up on the lawsuit.
I don't know anything about the law,
but I didn't realize it would be so harsh on powerless people.
Because of that harsh law, I...
lost my father.
In order to protect your loved ones,
Min Soo, you have to be strong.
I will prepare for the trial according to plan.
Make sure to protect your father.
Is the elder doing alright?
This is all what you people have devised.
I knew that we'd meet in court one day,
against each other like this.
Sure, since you're an attorney who is trying to protect Nam Gyu Man,
and I'm an attorney who is trying to make him fall.
Tomorrow in court,
let's play fair according to the law.
No cutting slacks, right?
It's funny to hear 'according to the law' from your lips.
How much, off the track the law is, you know that as well.
The law is bitterly cruel to powerless people like me and my client,
yet it's a laughing matter to Nam Gyu Man, who owns you.
Jin Woo.
I understand your distrust of the law.
Still, it's the only thing that
you can depend on.
Aigoo, Mr. Attorny Seo Jin Woo, we really get to see you in court like someone said.
The day you stand in court as a defendant,
that would be the real thing.
Ms. Attorny Lee In Ah, why are you undergoing unnecessary hardship, when you could've remained comfortably as a prosecutor?
Rather than butting in other perople's lives,
how about if you live your life right?
Attorney Seo Jin Woo, let's have a good fight.
You took the words right out of my mouth, Mr. Attorny Park Dong Ho.
Now as far as I'm concerned, illegality, expediency, that kind of thing won't work anymore.
Oh, I'm taunted.
These poor people are getting on well with each other, isn't that right?
Right. It looks that way.
My name is Kim Young Shik, who has been assigned to investigate
Il Ho Electric's microwave explosion case.
I'll read the accident investigation report.
The reason why Il Ho Electric's microwaves were exploding
is due to the defective light bulbs in the microwaves.
Is this the report that you wrote based on your investigation?
Yes.
Are the defective light bulbs the reason for all of the other microwave explosions?
Yes.
I submit this accident investigation report by the witness as evidence.
I have no further questions.
Attorney for the defendant, please cross-examine.
This accident... the microwaves exploded while it was on.
If it was on, couldn't any of the other parts besides the light bulbs
be the reason for explosions?
Well, I would think so.
Explosion prone parts such as transformer, high pressure condenser, circuit board,
or such elements as defective electrical contacts?
They're all possible, but
my investigations confirmed it was the defective light bulbs.
I see.
You have worked as a technician for a long time, right?
20 years in Il Ho Electric.
Then now, where is the building in which your investigation company is located?
The address is Gongdeok-dong in Mapo-gu district, right?
3rd floor of Il Ho Electric building.
Your company is an affiliate of Il Ho Electric, right?
Please answer me, Witness!
The defendant's attorney
is delaying the court proceedings with questions that has nothing to to with the trial.
No. Whether the witness is working for an affiliate of Il Ho Electric or not
is an important focal-point of this trial.
Currently in our country, when any electric products have an accident,
it's a normal practice to let its affiliate to investigate the cause.
But, this is no different than letting a cat run a fish mart.
Therefore, this witness' testimony has no credibility.
Sustained. Please continue.
Please answer.
Is your company an affiliate of Il Ho Electric?
Yes.
If a normal practice is a problem, our country's electric products' accidents investigations
are all wrong.
If you make a problem out of what's been permitted by the country's law-
That right there is the problem,
Mr. Plaintiff's Attorney.
The witness can't help but being nice to Il Ho Group,
because his company is an affiliate of the manufacturer.
Il Ho electric, while not even providing any understandable reason for the accidents,
pushed over all responsibilities to its affiliate.
As a result of that, the light bulb factory that existed for 3 generations spanning 30 years,
had to close its doors, and
everyone who worked in that factory lost their jobs.
The president of Il Ho Group, the parent company of Il Ho Electric, President Nam Gyu Man has said this,
"when you work with us, all affiliates are family."
If you watch our court proceedings, you will find out
that the real family to them... are only themselves who are related by blood.

Ah, sorry. I let my hand take over.
Don't take that to your heart.
Why? You feel bad?
Didn't you hear from Hyungnim that I'd kill you if you follow me?
This is your last chance.
If I tell the whole truth, your life will be over.
Hey, won't you let go? I'm a police officer of South Korea!
I am positive that Oh Jung Ah was murdered, not suicidal.
Now that I know he tried to cover up the criminal case, I can't take it anymore.
You recognize where this place is, right?
Are you not going to release me? Release me, bastard!
My Soo Bum knows his place. He has no pride.
If I just open my mouth, that will be the end of him.
Your ability to remember is actually a handicap.
How much time do I have left?
