(Episode 9)
Get on your knees!
(One week ago)
I'm sorry.
I was mistaken.
I'm terribly sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm fine.
Please take good care of Seo Yeon.
I will.
Let's go.
Thank you, Mr Joe.
It was my pleasure.
Have a nice day.
- Bye. - Let's go.
I'll sing that song for you next time.
Thank you so much.
It's nothing. I owe your brother a lot.
What is it?
Why do you keep sneaking around like a stray cat?
You know,
I've seen many evil monsters in my field,
but you make the top three.
Watch your back.
Why? Will you send your men?
You'd better send the lot. A few would be meaningless.
Is that right? Do you think everyone is on your side now?
Yes.
Do you think you won?
Yes.
Think what you want.
Okay.
You know,
if you win this trial, I'll buy you a suit.
How do you wear the same thing all the time?
What's it to you? I like this suit.
Did you even investigate?
I'm sorry, Sir.
I told you to be more on top of it when we go up against Deul Ho!
Get a copy of the complaint...
- filed with borough hall. - Okay.
- Remember the hospital she went to? - Yes.
I'll get the medical report.
Find nurses or doctors...
- who can testify. - Okay.
Can you meet the cook that was fired?
Yes. I got her number. I'll convince her.
I'll try to convince the parents.
- Should I go with you? - No, you stay here.
Thank you for coming.
Aren't you Chef Deul Ho Joe?
Yes, that's right.
I thought something looked awkward about you.
- You were a lawyer. - Yes.
Will Miss Hyo Jin be acquitted?
She is innocent. You saw in court.
That director made it all up and had her report Miss Hyo Jin.
So, what must we do at this point?
We press charges.
- Press charges? - Press charges?
We must press charges and teach her a lesson.
She wants to file charges against Bae Hyo Jin for defamation.
Why do you want to hire us?
This is the best firm in the country, isn't it?
Mr Jang Shin Woo and I are in the same group, too.
It's better to go with a firm that I know.
I've told Mr Jang,
and he said to take very good care of her.
Let me ask you one thing.
Did you really feed the children spoiled food?
That's all a lie.
My cook made a mistake once.
They're framing me to be some evil witch.
Is that right?
And I'm also going to press charges against that lawyer,
Joe Deul Ho,
for trespassing and lying about who he is.
How dare that bum...
come after me? My goodness.
Fine. You may discuss that with Mr Kim.
I'll explain what happens from here on.
Let's step outside.
You saw it too, didn't you?
The children from Smile Kindergarten...
came here for treatment after getting sick from eating garbage.
My child went to that kindergarten, too.
Really?
He even developed atopy from eating that trash.
Would you come and testify in court?
Sure. I will.
We need to set things straight.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
Where did you go? Get over here!
Hey.
Mister Lawyer!
- Hi. - Hello!
What's going on? Why are the kids here?
The kindergarten closed!
I don't know whether or not it's permanent, but it's closed.
- No one is picking up, either. - What?
- Play with us. - Don't worry.
- What? - Draw for us again.
- I'm hungry! - Me too!
Hold on! Hold on!
- Let go of my clothes. - We want to play.
The kindergarten closed down!
I have to open my store! What am I supposed to do?
What else? We'll have to leave them here.
- Pardon? - Stay here, kids.
You take responsibility.
- We're leaving. - Stay here.
- Wait. Where are you going? - Excuse me.
- Wait! - Play with us!
- You can't leave us with them. - Play with us.
- Come on, kids. - Let go of my clothes.
Mr Joe. One of the nurses said she'd testify.
She did?
- Where did you go? We're swamped! - Ms Lee!
- Pardon? - Hurry back!
I sent Yoo Shin away on a job!
We're dying here!
- What? - Okay.
I'll be in soon.
Hurry up!
Stop that. That's not a toy!
(Shinkook Bank)
Your account was frozen because you didn't pay your bill.
Your loan interest is also overdue.
How much is the interest?
The monthly payment for your student loan...
is 1,120 dollars a month including interest and principle.
Is it possible to get an additional loan?
It will be difficult since you quit your job.
I see.
What's the use in being a lawyer?
I have no money.
Where can I get money?
Hi, Jin Young. How have you been?
I'm glad you called. Do you have some money you can spare?
I'll pay you back after a month.
What?
I don't have any money. I'm unemployed.
I thought you work for that Joe Deul Ho guy.
I'm not officially employed.
Forget a salary. I don't even get reimbursed for expenses.
Really? Okay.
That's right. Why did you call me?
I just wanted to see how you were doing.
You're so random.
Okay. I'm about to walk into court.
Okay. Good luck.
"Good luck", my foot.
(Part-timer wanted)
Is it possible to get an additional loan?
It will be difficult since you quit your job.
Excuse me.
How may I help you?
Are you still hiring?
Yes. I'll call the manager.
Hello?
Why aren't you here? Where are you?
Oh! Well, I'm...
I was so hungry, so I'm eating a sandwich.
Good. Then bring about 20 sandwiches on your way back.
I'll give you the money. Bye. That hurts!
Excuse me. Is Choi Yun Soo here?
That's me.
I see. Hello.
I'm from the law office of Joe Deul Ho.
Until three months ago, you were a cook at Smile Kindergarten, right?
Yes.
You had fed the children some outrageous things.
I'm sure you feel at least slightly guilty for that.
Please help us.
What must I do?
Please come to court and testify at the trial...
that you had made porridge for the kids using leftovers.
Okay, I will.
Come in.
Mr Shin.
My goodness.
What brings you from Geum San to this lowly place?
I come bearing gifts.
What gifts?
I don't need them, so take them with you.
You'll change your mind once you hear what it is.
I don't eat that stuff, so take it back.
This isn't the gift.
Here.
This is it.
What is it?
It's materials that will take Deul Ho down with one blow.
(Smile Kindergarten child abuse case trial, Day 4)
Relax.
Okay.
- Mr Lawyer! - Mr Lawyer!
- Miss Hyo Jin. - Miss Hyo Jin.
Miss Hyo Jin.
We'll begin with the witnesses that the defendant called.
When you were...
a cook at Smile Kindergarten,
have you ever used leftovers from the day before to make porridge...
for the children?
Yes.
Did you make those dishes...
as the kindergarten director instructed you to do?
No.
I did them myself.
- What is she saying? - What?
- She did it herself? - No way.
That's absurd.
What was that?
I made a mistake...
and used old ingredients in the children's food.
That's why I was fired.
The director was very angry...
for doing that to the children's food.
Did the director threaten you?
No.
The director did nothing wrong.
Oh, my.
Please introduce yourself.
I am a nurse at Myeongjae Hospital.
Were the children...
treated for food poisoning and enteritis...
after eating the food at the kindergarten?
That's something...
I don't know.
You don't know?
So many kids come in with stomachaches every day.
It's impossible to know if it was because of the food...
from the kindergarten or something else.
You know it's a crime to lie under oath, don't you?
I do.
You work at the community centre, correct?
Are you in charge of overseeing kindergartens and nurseries?
Yes.
Complaints were filed against Smile Kindergarten, right?
Yes. There are a couple.
Were there any complaints about Smile Kindergarten...
related to the food they served?
No.
No?
There must have been a complaint submitted by a teacher.
Smile Kindergarten...
is a clean organisation without any problems.
- Oh my gosh. - What's happening?
(Trial in session)
Your Honour.
I'd like to call a witness.
Who is that?
They were employed at Smile Kindergarten...
and are knowledgeable about the case at hand.
Please permit it.
Counsel.
Do you consent?
I consent.
You may proceed.
First,
I'd like to call...
someone who was a cook at Smile Kindergarten...
until recently.
- Hwang Geum Yeo. - What?
- I've heard that name before. - Hwang Geum Yeo?
(Resume: Hwang Geum Yeo)
Please come forward.
Please state your name.
I'm Hwang Geum Yeo...
If you lie in court,
you may be punished for perjury.
I am...
Joe Deul Ho's office manager, Hwang Ae Ra.
Why is she there?
According to your resume, you graduated high school in Yanbian.
Have you ever been to Yanbian?
No, I've never left Korea.
Are you a certified cook?
Well, people always say...
I'm better than any chef.
I am not certified.
Your Honour.
The witness...
is not a certified cook...
and is the defendant's lawyer's office manager.
She hid her identity...
and got a job at the kindergarten.
Why?
Perhaps...
she intended to fabricate evidence...
of the garbage food issue that the defendant asserts.
Any cook can change the ingredients in the kitchen.
Furthermore, her deceit in being hired...
is more than enough to prove...
- intent to fabricate evidence. - Oh my gosh.
- She faked it. - I knew it something wasn't right.
- Oh my gosh. - Goodness.
How could she do that?
Next is someone who recently interviewed for the driver position.
I'd like to call Bae Jin Sang to the stand.
Good luck.
Please state your name.
I must...
tell the truth, right?
Yes.
You must tell the truth.
Well,
I'm Bae Dae Soo, and I'm in finance.
What kind of work do you do exactly?
Well,
I am a loan shark.
He's a loan shark?
You're a loan shark.
Then,
are you sharing your office with someone else?
Yes.
But it wasn't my will.
He's leaching off...
I mean... Well, I haven't once received rent.
I haven't.
Is he...
in this courtroom?
Yes.
It's Mr Joe Deul Ho. He's sitting over there.
Your Honour.
The witness...
is a loan shark...
sharing his office with the defendant's counsel.
Moreover, he interviewed for the bus driver position...
along with counsel...
and tried to get hired under false pretenses.
Why would a loan shark...
try to be hired at a kindergarten...
that has nothing to do with him?
It is full of children and has nothing to do with your business.
How could you work there without ulterior motives?
I...
cannot help...
but suspect your motives.
Mr Bae.
What was your childhood dream?
Well,
my childhood dream was to drive a bus.
Other kids wanted to become the President, a judge or prosecutor,
but I really wanted to become a bus driver.
- What a great dream. - Yes.
I've always liked yellow ever since I was a child.
Objection!
Counsel and the witness are insulting the court with nonsense!
Sustained.
Counsel.
Ask serious questions.
Mr Bae.
What is your relationship with that kindergarten?
Well,
the defendant,
Bae Hyo Jin...
is my sister.
Dae Soo.
Okay. Your sister was wrongfully discharged.
So, as her brother, you couldn't sit back and do nothing, correct?
That's correct.
Next,
I'd like to call the kindergarten's recent bus driver,
Cho Min Suk.
Please state your name.
I was Smile Kindergarten's bus driver until recently.
Cho Min Suk is my name.
Counsel.
What are you doing? Concentrate.
My apologies.
Who is the next witness?
Let me play you a video first.
Oh, no.
That woman in the video...
is Lee Eun Jo, an attorney who works...
with the counsel.
Why were you at the kindergarten at that hour?
I was told that Seo Yeon was alone, so I was worried.
Who told you that she was alone?
Mr Joe Deul Ho told me.
That sounds like...
you were there to do something for this case.
No, that's not true.
You went to meet the victim...
in a kindergarten at night and even trespassed.
Weren't you there to manipulate the victim...
or erase evidence of the crime?
I object, Your Honour.
The prosecutor is badgering the witness based on his guesses.
Objection sustained.
You are a person of the law, correct?
- Yes, I am. - However,
you trespassed into the kindergarten.
Did you do it just because he told you to?
That's not it.
I wanted to go.
I wanted to help him and I wanted to support him.
It is true that I went to the kindergarten...
where the defendant had been employed.
Defendant was fired for exposing the truth...
about serving the children spoiled food.
I wanted to see for myself just what the kindergarten...
was feeding the children.
That afternoon,
I asked the children to draw what they had eaten that day.
The children truthfully drew it for me.
Please take a look.
One piece of kimchi.
Two pieces of fish cake.
He didn't eat anything because it tasted bad.
She ate bread that her mum packed because the food tasted bad.
There was nothing in the chicken soup,
so this drawing shows that the chicken must be alive somewhere.
Oh my gosh.
The kindergarten director, Kang Ja Yeong...
violated child protection laws and food safety laws.
She further committed the heinous crime of hiring people...
to frame the defendant of child abuse.
I believe...
the prosecution is obliged to investigate the truth!
Furthermore, we must uncover the whole truth...
so that the great people at kindergartens and nurseries...
will not be wrongfully accused and hurt...
by what is happening.
That is all.
Prosecution. Do you have anything else to say?
The truth.
I will submit evidence to disclose the truth...
that Counsel just stated...
we must uncover.
(Settlement Agreement)
That is a settlement agreement executed between the defendant...
and a parent in March. That's about a month ago.
The content states that the defendant assaulted...
a kindergarten student and settled it quickly.
- She should be fired. - That evil witch.
The parent did drop the charges,
but the defendant has a history of being charged with child abuse.
If a teacher who should protect and teach the children...
has such violent tendencies,
what parent would trust her with their children?
- That's absurd. - She isn't qualified.
- She should be fired. - Seriously.
Given such a situation,
the kindergarten had no choice but to terminate her employment.
- That's unbelievable. - It's outrageous.
- This is crazy. - I know.
- How could she? - She needs to go.
That's unacceptable.
Fabricating evidence and manipulating witnesses.
Why didn't Hyo Jin say anything?
Why didn't she tell us?
What now?
Gosh. That director is a real piece of work.
I told you we should just pay and settle out of court.
How could you say that?
Why would you pay when she did nothing wrong?
Is faking your identity and working there any better?
Did I want to do it?
You're giving me a headache.
What was that stupid mole?
Mr Joe! Boss!
- Help me. - No, no, no!
- Come here. - Mr Joe!
The kindergarten is still closed!
It's been a week already! How long must we leave our kids here?
We can't open our stores or do our jobs!
You're the one that wanted to press charges against the director,
but we're the ones paying for it!
We could just pack lunches for our kids.
We need the kindergarten to open so that we can go back to work.
You need to take responsibility!
- I will take responsibility. - She's right.
- Say something! - You need to take responsibility!
There was a child who kept picking on Seo Yeon.
He was big and a troublemaker.
I saw him push her one day.
I tried to stop him.
I said to give it to me!
Give it.
Joon Shik!
- It's mine. - Give it to me.
Joon Shik.
Stop it. Stop it! Stop it.
You shouldn't fight.
What happened?
Joon Shik's mother pressed charges against me.
We settled within a day and she dropped the charges.
Within a day?
Did the director say you should settle?
Yes.
This can be held against you in court.
But I never hit him.
I was trying to stop them.
There's no one who knows exactly what happened.
She pressed charges,
and you signed the settlement agreement.
Is it very bad?
Prosecution will insist that you have violent tendencies.
What do we do?
Can we contact Joon Shik, the boy who bullied Seo Yeon?
His family moved to the Philippines.
I'm sorry.
I should've told you sooner.
It's okay. It was a difficult battle from the start.
What do we do now?
It turns out that the director isn't just anyone.
Her husband is a public official,
and the public knows her to be a kind-hearted person.
I don't know what else to do.
We'll have to think of something.
How?
We'll have to find a way...
and remove that mask she's hiding behind.
We must.
Yes.
But things are getting worse and worse for us.
It always is.
Please don't be angry.
Can't you reopen the kindergarten?
We have nowhere else to leave the kids,
so we can't work.
We never believed that lawyer from the start.
We knew he was framing you.
You freaked out that I fed the kids trash.
Why are you doing this now?
We're sorry.
We thought it was true.
You saw in court, right?
Those jerks are con artists.
- I know. - We saw.
How could they do that to you?
- I know. - They fooled me.
This is too hard for me psychologically.
I can't open the kindergarten for a while.
What are we supposed to do then?
Find another kindergarten.
Yours is the best. Nothing else compares.
Please, don't be angry and please reopen the kindergarten.
Look,
I don't need to operate the kindergarten.
I don't need to make money.
I'm closing the kindergarten.
- You can't. - No.
Please.
What must we do for you to reopen the kindergarten?
I don't know.
What must we do?
Well,
if that lawyer gets on his knees and begs for forgiveness,
I may reconsider.
- Let's go. - Call him.
- He has to do it. - He looks like a con artist.
- That's right. - Let's file charges.
- Let's go. - Let's go now.
What...
- Mr Joe. - Mr Joe.
We just met with the director.
And?
You need to resolve this yourself.
That's what I'm doing.
The director wants to see you.
She said if you get on your knees and ask for forgiveness,
she'll reopen the kindergarten.
Do what? Get on my knees and beg?
- Yes. - Our director says...
that is all she wants. Nothing else.
Is that so hard?
You made this mess.
You need to fix it.
I'll do it! I'll get on my knees!
I'll do it.
That's absurd!
- I said I'll do it! - That won't do.
You must do it yourself.
That's what she said.
What's wrong with that director?
- Why would he... - Shut it!
- Why would he get on his knees? - This is insane!
- That's the only way! - Calm down.
What will you do?
The kindergarten needs to reopen.
How long will you play with the kids here?
I know it's tough,
but can't you do that for our kids?
If you help us just this once, we'll forever be grateful.
Do you want us to get on our knees?
- No. - Yes.
- Don't do that. - Get down!
- Get on your knees. - What are you doing?
Stop that!
Goodness. Get up!
- Help us. - Just this once.
- Don't do this. - Oh, my.
- Just once. - Let go of him!
You stay out of it.
- I'm going out. - You can't go anywhere!
- You can't go! - No.
We put on a play today at school.
I beat fierce competition and got to play the princess,
and our class president was the prince.
I was very happy.
Enjoy.
You're great at this.
I had several jobs when I was in university.
Hello, Ms Hwang.
What? Mr Joe?
What's this?
What's going on?
Why did you make me come somewhere...
so shabby?
Hello.
You must have finally come to your senses.
You should keep acting out.
I want to see how long you can keep it up.
I was out of line.
I apologise for upsetting you.
Hey.
You almost landed me in a mental hospital.
I was in so much shock that I closed the kindergarten.
I'm sorry.
Tell me.
Did you reflect on what you did wrong?
Yes, I did.
What...
gave you the confidence to do all that?
Do you really not know who I am?
I'm sorry. I should've recognised who you were sooner.
I should've been careful.
I was rude.
But...
why did you want to see me here?
The truth is,
I've never knelt...
in front of anyone.
So,
I asked you...
to come all the way here.
Is that right? Then get on your knees.
Get on your knees!
Tell me...
exactly what you did wrong.
I am...
just a lowly, nothing of a lawyer.
I didn't appreciate the high and mighty director.
I...
was rude.
How were you rude?
You...
thought of the kids...
and made porridge using leftover pizza, burgers...
and the like.
But I didn't appreciate your deep intentions.
You tried it.
Would it kill you?
It would not.
But my stomach did hurt a little bit.
You're the problem.
You saved on food costs for the sake of the kindergarten,
and siphoned government funding...
Who would dare complain...
about my using my kindergarten's money?
You're correct. You should do as you please.
I'm a nobody.
Why did I bother going to government offices to report you?
But nobody would believe someone like me.
Why would they?
Do you know how much money I give them?
You have the power to pick whoever you want...
and fire them whenever you feel like it.
Of course, you have that covered.
People need to know their place.
But Ma'am,
can't you reopen...
the kindergarten?
Why would I?
When I think of the humiliation that you put me through...
Why would I?
I'll make sure to send you to prison first.
Maybe a year from now, I'll reopen...
But why do you care?
Please reopen the kindergarten.
You can embezzle government funds,
feed the kids garbage porridge or pig feed.
You can do whatever you want.
Please, just open the kindergarten.
No.
Ma'am.
I don't want to.
Please, reopen the kindergarten.
No.
Please, reopen the kindergarten,
will you?
Lady.
My gosh.
My knees.
You only look at me when I speak rudely to you.
You must be out of your mind.
Why is that?
You shouldn't have messed with me in the first place.
Why did you pick a fight with me?
Well, you shouldn't have fed garbage to the children.
Why not? They're all mine.
Exactly what is yours?
The kindergarten.
Okay, let's say that the kindergarten is yours.
Are the children there yours, too?
Yes, they're all mine.
How are they possibly yours?
Because it's my kingdom,
and I'm the queen.
All right. Do everything as you wish.
The kindergarten is your kingdom, and you're the queen.
Good for you.
But...
you can't say that the children are yours whatsoever!
Get over here.
I will...
- I will do everything... - Stab me if you can.
to have you locked up behind bars.
Just wait. Where do you think you're going? Get back here.
Ji Wook,
I have a spare ticket. Would you like to see a play?
Is the kindergarten yours?
- Are you the queen? - Are the children your possession?
- We trusted you. - You're out of your mind.
- How dare you call my son yours! - Explain if you can.
- You're a monster! - You're insane.
- Is the kindergarten yours? - You're out of your mind.
- You call yourself the queen? - I can't believe I trusted you.
- Arrest her. - She deserves much worse.
- Take her away. - Why did you do that?
Do you know who I am?
- You're unbelievable! - I'm going to get you.
- She's still acting like that. - Let go! My goodness.
Thank you so much, Mr Joe.
- Thank you. - I don't know...
what we would've done without you.
- Thank you. - I'm sorry I misunderstood you.
It's not over yet.
We still need to reopen the kindergarten.
- Of course. - Thank you very much.
- Goodbye. - Thank you.
How did you find the play? Did you enjoy it?
It had a great scenario,
but I didn't like the cast.
I'm sorry.
Don't be discouraged.
You'll be given penalty points if you lose the case.
But you work on numerous cases a day.
An attorney focuses solely on one case that he has undertaken.
Besides, the attorney you dealt with was Deul Ho who's persistent.
It couldn't have been easy.
It's good news that the child was not abused.
Think of it that way, and forget about the case.
However,
if you end it as it is now, you're letting Deul Ho win.
Are you aware of it?
I can't accuse an innocent teacher just to win.
Did you do everything you can?
If the teacher is not guilty, the director might be.
Deul Ho will for sure dig into that.
He'll get the parents to press charges against the director.
He'll draw public attention again.
Make sure you find out who's guilty,
whether it's the teacher or the director.
You should be the one to do that,
not Deul Ho.
Mum. Mum!
Mum, Daddy is in the news.
Uncle Ji Wook is in the news, too.
Daddy's really like Superman. Isn't he cool?
Soo Bin, you should go to your room and do your homework.
Should I become a lawyer like Daddy?
I'm a lawyer, too. Why don't you want to be like me?
I think Daddy is a bit cooler.
(The Prosecution and Attorney Arrest a Corrupt Kindergarten Director.)
Is there anything you find difficult?
You must be having a tough time here.
Who is the one that put me in here?
It was me.
Why did you come here?
Did you want to see me like this?
Partly yes.
Since you're in here for child abuse,
you'll serve at least five years in prison.
The children still take me for a bus driver.
They wanted me to deliver these to you.
Goodbye.
(Dear Ms Kang)
(When are you coming back to Korea? I miss you.)
How are you, Ms Kang? I'm Yoo Jung.
When are you coming back to Korea?
I miss you.
(When are you coming back to Korea? I miss you.)
(I love you, Ms Kang.)
Ms Kang, this is Soo Ho.
When can I go back to the kindergarten?
I'm so bored because the kindergarten is closed.
Come back soon so I can go back to the kindergarten.
Ms Kang, it's me, Na Ri.
I hope you're not sick.
Come back soon, and play with us.
I'll be waiting for you.
Ms Kang, I left my toy at the kindergarten.
Could you please unlock the doors?
You bought me that toy.
I hope you come back and help me get the toy.
I forgot to write who I am. I'm Min Gu, the chubby Min Gu.
(I miss you, Ms Kang.)
Ms Kang, I'm Seo Yeon.
I miss you.
I'll smile everyday from now on.
Come back soon.
(Ms Kang, I miss you.)
- "I'll resign from..." - I'll resign from...
all the kindergartens and daycare centres that I run.
- "Smile Kindergarten..." - Smile Kindergarten...
- "will now belong to the city." - will now belong to the city.
There's one condition though.
I'd like Bae Hyo Jin to be the director.
- Yes! - Is that really written there?
- "Please take care..." - Please take care of the children.
- Yes! - Oh my goodness!
She'll be the director!
Ae Ra, you're not going to work in the kitchen there, are you?
If she recruits her, she'll go.
I'd like to work there.
- I can't believe it. - Goodness.
- Thank you. - I'm relieved now.
- I'll come visit with the children. - All right.
- No, no, no. - Never mind.
- Don't come. - Don't come here.
- Let's catch her. - Miss Hyo Jin!
- I got you! - You got me.
- What's this? - Come play with us.
- What are you doing? - Oh, my.
This is nice!
There isn't much to life. This is what it's about.
Isn't that right?
This is awkward. Don't you think so?
This is paradise.
The kindergarten is open again, and Hyo Jin became the director.
She isn't the director. She's the acting director.
Must you be so technical? That's the same thing.
How is that the same thing?
- Take us out to celebrate. - What?
Hyo Jin was acquitted and was reinstated.
This isn't enough.
- That's not right. - What?
Don't be cheap!
- What's your problem? - Stab him.
Why don't you buy dinner?
- What do you say? - What's wrong with you people?
- Okay! - Let's go tonight.
It'll be my treat...
for you, you and you.
- Tonight! - My treat!
- You're treating us. - That's right.
Can you handle me?
Let's do it!
Yes!
- Cheers! - Cheers!
- Enjoy! - Thank you.
That's nice.
Is she allowed to drink?
She can today.
Eat, drink and be merry.
Everyone. May I have your attention please?
My one and only sister, Hyo Jin.
Our lawyer, Mr Joe Deul Ho.
Of course, he doesn't pay rent and leeches off of me.
We called it even!
Anyway. Anyway.
I trusted these shady pair...
No, including Ms Lee, I trusted the three of them.
I asked them to help my sister, Hyo Jin.
And they did.
Let's bow in gratitude.
Thank you very much!
- Sure. - Thank you.
Until "Neighbourhood Lawyer" office...
becomes the best lawyer's office in all of Korea,
I promise to support you...
without holding back or sparing any expense.
Are you sure about that?
Of course, I am.
I recorded you. You can't go back on your word.
Okay. Okay. Let's drink.
- Cheers! - Cheers!
Sing for us, Ms Lee.
Sing!
Our eyes meet
- Nice! - Yes!
Mr Joe.
This is where you were.
Are you okay?
Of course, I am.
Aren't you leaving?
I am.
Don't drive.
Don't drive and get in an accident.
Don't bother me with that kind of problems.
What are you doing?
Why do you...
always tell me to go?
What?
Should I tell you to come?
You know,
I graduated law school,
passed the bar exam...
and worked at the largest law firm in the country.
And...
And that's all.
You know,
I was the smartest in the neighbourhood...
and a lot of boys used to chase me around...
because I was pretty.
I thought once I became a lawyer,
I would be set for life.
Baby.
I'm not a baby.
Think of my age.
I miss you every single day.
Why are you saying that?
I love you.
Soo Bin.
Daddy misses you so much.
Are you sleeping?
Are you awake?
Soo Bin.
I love you.
Stop it.
You got so pretty.
I'm sick of hearing that.
Who? Why?
The owner of the chicken place and the owner of the pool hall...
told me I look young.
This is dangerous.
You need to be careful.
A wave of loneliness hits me in the morning.
Let's take a shot together. Let's do a love shot.
- Love shot. - Dae Soo.
- Love shot. - I'm doing it because it's you.
Love shot.
Yes.
I'm cold.
Move. I'm cold.
- Move. - What is that?
Come on.
I'm cold. Leave me alone.
What is this?
- What is this? - What is this?
Oh my gosh.
Oh my goodness.
That's cold.
Dae Soo.
(My Lawyer, Mr Joe)
What do you do at night?
Do you drive a taxi?
Don't just drop in again.
You can't come here whenever you feel like it.
Your thick skin is almost a callous now.
It's best for us if Shin Young Il becomes the minister.
It's not the government's favour,
but Chairman Jung's favour that you've gained.
Don't bare your teeth too much.
