(Episode 7)
Thank you.
Please thank Judge Yoo for me.
Naturally, you should thank me.
Why? Because I dumped my buddy to give you a ride.
My mom sent your brother to jail.
Why do you thank her?
She taught me which way I should go.
Choi Jung Joo.
Later.
Your mom's surgery will go well.
May I ask you for a favor?
Testing. 1, 2.
Testing. Testing. 1, 2.
Testing. I really can't do this.
Fine. I'll do it. Fine. Give me that.
Does my voice really sound like your brother's?
Let me practice just once. Just once.
It's important.
My mom's waiting. Just do it.
Yes, so...
Mom.
You know, right? You know how much I love you, right Mom?
(You know, right? You know how much I love you, right Mom?)
No matter what happens, please remember that.
That I love you with all my heart.
Hang in there through the surgery, and...
I'm sorry.
Thank you.
Kyung Ho and I are close.
Kyung Ho and I went to save Ga Young.
You went to save her?
We went, but Ga Young wasn't there.
We only found her sneaker.
Then Choi Kyung Ho didn't...
He didn't kill her?
Kyung Ho isn't a bad guy.
Kyung Ho told me that he had to rescue Ga Young.
Kyung Ho said...
that he was going to catch the bad guy.
1, 3, 7, 1.
Kyung Ho told me this.
The license plate of the bad guy who killed Ga Young.
Why is that sneaker...
1371 is the license plate number?
It's no wonder they call him the Bunker Chief.
He keeps giving us work.
I'm just a law student, and he gives me work too.
Judge Lee!
No, no! Don't touch me.
I'm not asking you to give it to me.
Let me hold onto it for a while.
No.
A little while ago,
someone also tried to take it away from me.
Who?
Who was that?
He came to my mom.
He said he was a prosecutor.
Hey.
Is this the guy you saw?
That's him. It's him.
I won't give it to you. Never.
Don't you want to see Kyung Ho?
If you let me hold onto the shoe for a while,
you'll be able to see him.
Whatever you say won't work.
Fancy meeting you here!
Don't waste your time, and give up.
To Yong Soo, that's another form of himself.
I asked him to give it to me too because it was Se Ra's, but...
I want to see Kyung Ho.
What?
Please return it to me.
This is Ga Young's.
Yes, I will. I'll make sure of it.
Thank you.
When I asked him to give it to me...
Please do me a favor.
- Sorry? - Please take him home.
- Me? - Yes.
(Defendant Jang Soon Book, murder and abandonment of a corpse)
(Judge Sah Jung Do)
(Defendant Choi Kyung Ho)
(Judge Yoo Myung Hee)
(My love, Myung Hee and my friend, Jin Myung)
Do Han Joon.
Why do you want this sneaker...
Come in.
You're still here, Judge Sah.
Is the dinner over?
Yes.
It seems my favor is...
taking up much of your time.
I'll take that as a thank-you.
But how can you be certain...
that Choi Kyung Ho isn't the real murderer, Mr. Ha?
I don't know,
but when I see Kyung Ho,
I feel this thing before I make my decision in my head.
Just based on your groundless gut feeling?
After Kyung Ho...
got his sentencing on that day,
he cried his heart out in the restroom.
When I heard him cry,
at that moment,
I realized that he wasn't the murderer.
When he walked out after weeping...
Wait, then...
You were...
his corrections officer?
Yes.
Then the law school student was...
Yes, that's probably me.
My gosh, what a coincidence.
This is unbelievable.
We meet again here.
That law school student became a great judge like yourself?
Did Mr. Choi tell you anything regarding Kim Ga Young's sneakers?
Kim Ga Young's sneakers?
Go ahead. I'll need to use the restroom.
Yes, Dad.
Eui Hyun, what are you doing?
Did you drink?
Yes, I wanted to get a drink with you,
but I thought better because you probably had to write a ruling.
You thought wrong.
I'd like to get drinks today.
Why? Because Jang Soon Bok attempted suicide in your courtroom?
I can't say no to that.
That's not your fault. Forget about it.
You can't do your job if you let the defendants...
sway over you.
It sounds like you need to forget about something.
It sounds like you had one too many drinks.
Did something happen?
No, nothing happened.
I was just thinking about my son.
Do a good job in writing your rulings.
You know that the rulings are the face of judges.
Of course.
That's the talk you gave me on the day I wrote my first ruling.
Right. Do a good job...
so later on,
you won't have to look for the ruling you wrote.
That's it.
No way.
That can't be possible.
Mr. Choi Kyung Ho.
Sit down.
You hid behind your daddy's back back then.
You finally came here in person.
I didn't like Kim Joo Hyung relaying our messages.
I'll tell you to your face now that you're here.
No, let me go first.
I don't recognize your warning.
Let's break our deal.
I don't plan on staying away from Jung Joo.
Do Han Joon!
I'll get going. I said what I needed to tell you.
How dare you even think about dating my sister?
1371.
If Jung Joo finds out what happened in your car...
If she finds out, she'll be horrified.
But would it be more horrifying...
than the fact that you didn't commit the heinous act?
I'll kill you if you lay a finger on Jung Joo.
Be careful.
You might lose your life, Mr. Choi.
You son of a dog. Do you think I'll feel threatened?
I'm not threatening you. I'm concerned about you.
I'm sincerely worried about you.
You scumbag. I'm going to kill you!
I'm going to end you, you jerk!
Prison guard! Prison guard!
I'm going to kill you!
Why is the sky so clear?
(Han Joon)
Yes, Han Joon.
What a surprise. You answered my first call.
If you're touched, buy me lunch.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
I guess she's not having a good morning.
Did you pull an all-nighter?
What is it?
What's going on? Seriously.
She's not ignoring us because she found out that we didn't tell her...
about the murder weapon, right?
That's a possibility.
Gosh, this is driving me crazy.
Should we tell her or not?
Let's just tell her.
- Tell her what? - Gosh, you startled me!
Judge Jung! I almost had a miscarriage!
You're not even pregnant.
You say it like miscarriages happen all the time.
From my experience, miscarriages don't happen easily.
It's just a figure of speech.
Why do I feel like we might have said something wrong?
Judge Lee.
Actually, Ms. Hwang and I...
found something related to the murder weapon of...
Oh, that. I found out that it's a rare knife that...
the Swedish royal family used, not something common in Korea.
You knew?
How do you think Jang Soon Bok had something that rare?
I wish the chief would get this strong sense of suspicion.
I'm going to go wash my face.
Kyung Ho isn't a bad guy.
Kyung Ho told me that he had to rescue Ga Young.
Jung Joo!
Why are you doing this here?
Why are you washing your hair here?
You wouldn't answer your cell or office phone.
Do you know how worried I was?
I thought you had been abducted.
My heart is like glass now, ever since the hostage incident.
Look at you. You'll catch a cold.
Wait here. I'll bring you a towel.
Hey! Where are you going like that?
I'm going to take a look at Choi Kyung Ho's case file.
(Crime Scene Photos)
(Criminal Trial Case File)
What more do you want to know?
The house he was hiding in while running from the loan shark.
What the... Why are you touching my hair?
See? Being ungrateful really is a habit of yours.
Kim Ga Young's rape and murder occurred while he was there, and...
That house was right by Seo Gi Ho's.
Near the Gwangdeok Reservoir.
It's also Jang Soon Bok's house where Seo Gi Ho was murdered.
Then...
Seo Yong Soo, who asserts that Choi Kyung Ho is innocent...
He may be telling the truth, but it's too soon to judge.
May I make a copy of the case file?
- Is it because of Do Han Joon? - What do you mean?
The reason you're suddenly so focused on this case.
Han Joon would never do that.
It can't be.
The cases are related, so I can make you a copy, but...
I've already made a copy.
Give me a second.
Here you go.
Why don't you use this...
What is that?
Judge Sah. That prosecutor, Mr. Do Han Joon...
Does he and Judge Lee have a special relationship or something?
I need to ask you something.
Please answer truthfully.
Why are you acting like a prosecutor?
You're scaring me.
Kim Ga Young, whom Choi Kyung Ho raped and murdered.
You knew she was your cottage caretaker's daughter, right?
What does that change?
Because that means you may know her,
and that you may know her well.
Judge Sah said the same thing.
Why is he so interested in your brother's case?
Answer my question first.
Why do both of you want to hear the same thing from me?
I'm starting to get offended.
1371. The last four digits of your cell phone number.
It's the same as the license plate of your old car, right?
That's right. I liked that car as much as I like you.
Then why did you have it scrapped?
I just lost my appetite. You eat by yourself.
Later.
Tell me. Why did you have it scrapped?
Seo Yong Soo was very close to the late Kim Ga Young.
But according to what he said,
Kyung Ho wasn't the real killer.
It was the owner of the car with license plate 1371?
And that car owner is standing before you now?
Can't you...
just tell me, "It wasn't me"?
Fine. It wasn't me.
But even if I say that,
you'll still suspect me.
Let's say all the circumstances and evidence point to me.
But will that overcome the evidence that Kyung Ho was the killer,
like his DNA that was found in Ga Young's underwear?
- Han Joon. - Please. Come on.
I really don't want to talk about this with you.
If you really want to know, request an official investigation.
I'll give you a ride back to the court house.
Jung Joo.
Don't be careless and visit Kyung Ho.
You sat on the judicial panel for his trial.
Kyung Ho was a defendant in your trial.
Don't be reckless.
Why did you...
scrap the car?
You should eat.
That was ancient history.
Why are you asking about that now?
This tastes good.
Here. Honey. Try some of this.
I don't want Han Joon riding a motorcycle anymore.
Yesterday, Professor Han's son...
died in a motorcycle accident.
Didn't Professor Han have only one son?
I want Han Joon to take public transportation...
or drive a car instead.
Public transportation? No.
I said I'd buy him a nice car,
but he keeps refusing.
He refuses to drive a car ever since you scrapped that car.
That punk.
He's so obsessive once he gets into something.
He's just like me.
I scrapped the car because that car was bad luck.
He got into an accident in that car, and...
That was just a fracture.
Motorcycles are dangerous.
Why don't you get him to drive a car again?
Kyung Ho and I went to save Ga Young.
We went, but Ga Young wasn't there.
We only found her sneaker.
Excuse me. You were in the courtroom, right?
May I ask you for a favor?
(Record audio)
Mom.
You have to live.
I'll be fine in prison,
so you have to live too.
Live, at least for Jung Joo's sake.
(Play audio recording)
I...
Mom...
I love you, Mom.
Mom.
Kyung Ho...
Please...
tell him that I know.
Please.
Yes, Chief.
"Oh" and spacing.
"Ji Rak". What?
I just typed in "Oh Ji Ral". Shoot.
I apologize for leaving early last night.
No, don't. There's no need for it.
I hear that...
your rulings are well-written that the associate judges pass them...
around to read them.
Those well-written rulings don't just spring out from the ground.
To achieve such standards,
one must drink soda instead of alcohol...
and leave dinners early.
I'm sorry if I have upset you.
No, no. Not at all.
No one can compete against someone who puts his life into judgeship.
You also managed to solve the hostage situation when you returned.
I get that why your father can't compliment you enough.
That's my point.
I didn't do much.
Judge Lee was able to see a way to handle the situation.
She saw a way to handle it? No way.
There's no way she did that on her own. That's ridiculous.
Why did you want to see me?
Your father asked me to use the express courier service,
but he lives in the same house as you.
These are the copies of the record your father requested.
That's a rape and murder case I defended 10 years ago.
The defendant's name is Choi Kyung Ho.
There was nothing I could argue for as he willingly confessed,
but I don't know why he'd need those documents.
Choi Kyung Ho?
Yes.
Let me know if you like one.
Is this why you called me here?
I told you I don't like cars.
I don't like you driving motorcycles.
Professor Han's son died in a motorcycle accident a while ago.
Even if I die from an accident, I don't want to drive a car.
- Son. - Yes?
My goodness.
Come on. Stop talking about people dying. I'm begging you, Mom.
You see, crazy people don't die that easily. Look at me.
Stop it. You really do seem crazy.
Okay.
Do you have any food here?
I have some fruits.
I see fruits. I like fruits.
What? You want me to peel it myself?
Yes. Jung Joo was good at it.
My gosh, I can't believe this.
This knife is too sharp, isn't it?
She'll definitely cut herself with this knife.
Actually, she almost did.
Even at this moment, you're only concerned about Jung Joo.
I know, right?
All I can think about is Jung Joo and you, Mom.
This knife...
That prosecutor must have landed a hard one on you.
I knew it. Why did you have to get smart with him?
You're a lowly criminal. Why did you give a warning to a prosecutor?
Know your place. Do you think you deserve a woman in a robe?
I mean, I can relate.
After talking to her, I thought she was darn attractive.
Hey, hey.
What did the Knucklehead Prosecutor do to you?
Now, I really want to know.
Hey. Hey!
Talk.
If you tell me, I'll do something for you in exchange.
What is it? You want me to settle? Drop your charges?
I'll tell what he did. Then kill him for me.
What?
Kill him?
Kill the Knucklehead Prosecutor?
Yes.
My gosh, I'm getting a headache all of a sudden now.
Now that I have a headache, I'm not so curious anymore.
Kill him. Kill that scumbag!
You think I'm crazy?
Why would I dirty my hands?
This jerk asked me to kill someone.
I don't do murders.
Long time no see.
Thank you for coming to the consultations.
Please be seated.
But what happened to you?
What is it? You seem pretty shaken up.
I just ran into some crazy jerk.
Well, I just saw a knucklehead myself.
I think you might know him.
I think he has you by the collar.
How do you know the Knucklehead Prosecutor?
He's my son.
All right. Shall we talk about you now, Mr. Kim?
Then can you put in a good word to your son for me?
If I do that, he might come after me too.
If he obeyed his parents, he wouldn't be a knucklehead.
If you run your mouth rashly,
we won't be seeing each other anymore.
How about this?
I'll visit you time to time and let you...
breathe a little during our consultations.
In exchange, why don't you tell me where you got...
the lighter and the knife?
You don't hide your affection for your son.
I wish I were your son too.
Why don't you then?
If you have the guts to call me Mom.
What did you say?
How are you my mother?
I'm not your mother, Mr. Kim.
Then...
You can tell me about...
your mother.
