I don't see you as a human being.
Filled only with impulses and urges...
A mere bug? That's how I see you.
Lee So Woo didn't kill himself.
I saw it.
Lee So Woo was murdered by Choi Woo Hyeok.
I will hold a school trial on the Lee So Woo incident.
Defendant, please state your alibi for the time of the incident.
Then why don't you hear it from them directly! They're right there!
Choi Woo Hyeok is lying. His alibi is entirely fake!
Kim Dong Hyeon!
I saw it, okay? I saw it!
This is a detailed witness account. I... will testify as a witness.
You lying during the school hearing...from today, I won't tolerate it.
Was that my only lie?

Hey, Han Ji Hoon, you are not going to do anything about me being bored?
I told you, it's the exam period. I don't have time to play with you.
You don't need to study hard. No matter what, you'll be able to do whatever you want.
Well, right now I want to study but I can't, thanks to somebody.
I guess I've been over to your house too often.
I've read everything here.
How about going to my dad's study?
There should be a lot of books that fit your preference: thick and difficult.
Will that be
really okay for me to go there?
You just need to put it back in its proper place after you read it.
Thanks. Thanks a lot!
Hey, Lee So Woo!
[For whom the bell tolls]
Oh, Ji Hoon! What about dinner? I bought sushi.
Yeah from your favorite place.
Yeah

Oh, you're here too, So Woo.
Good evening
Were you reading inside?
Dad, welcome home
Yeah.
We can eat dinner with So Woo right?
Of course, we can. Start eating. I'll join you guys soon.
Yes, let's go.
Hold on. Wait for me to eat.

Solomon's Perjury Episode 7
Day of the 2nd Hearing
Hello. I am 2-1 Class Vice President, Kim Min Seok, of Jeongguk High School who will play a role of a judge druing today's school hearing.
Thank you all of you for attending today's school hearing.
Class president?
Prosecutor, please be seated.
Hey Prosecutor!
Seo Yeon!
Seo Yeon?
School Trial
I just decided to drop by just cause.
I wanted to look around the school one last time.
There's no need for you to overreact like that.
I believe you.
That's what you wanted from the beginning.
Not punishing Choi Woo Hyeok, or protecting yourself, but for someone to trust what you said.
Sending the accusation letter, uploading the video on the internet and everything
up to now were to ask people to believe you.
I am sorry. I am sorry I realized it so late.
Still thank you for coming to the school hearing in the end.
I hope you can be happy wherever you are
and forget what happened here.
Don't say dumb things. If it were you, would you be able to forget?
What's the reason you're saying these things to someone who's running away?
It's to make yourself feel better! To lessen your own guilt!
You're selfish even to the very end.
I... am going to testify.
What?
I came here because I wanted to testify. To finish that before I leave.
Joo Ri
What?
Yeah. I think it'd be best if Choi Woo Hyeok was not seated in the hearing area while Joo Ri testifies.
This is a formal request.
We also are barely able to keep Choi Woo Hyeok seated in the defendant's chair.
But to have him seated in the audience again? Are you planning a dog training: "Sit down and sit up", like that?
Aren't you afraid of him going nuts? Have you already forgotten about how Choi Woo Hyeok behaved after Kim Dong Hyeon testified?
That's why we picked more students to assist with maintaining the peace. The jocks.
It's also a psychological stress thing as well. She said that if the defendant is looking on she didn't think she'd be able to testify properly.
Exactly. Can you guys say bad things about Choi Woo Hyeok right to his face? Nobody can, right?
The defendant is also a member of our school hearing. He has a right to hear the statements.
And we have an obligation to protect the witness.
- Lee Joo Ri will be coming? - Yeah.
- But you want me to stay out of her sight? - That's right
- Where's that bitch! - Choi Woo Hyeok
If she's going to testify, tell her to do it in front of me instead of scheming behind my back!
Are you going to yell like that each time?
What can I do when I feel angry?
You're not angry
You're not angry, but hurt
And you don't know yet how to express that.
Get off your high horse. How do you know how I feel?
No matter how hard you deny, Lee Joo Ri is the witness who must attend this school hearing.
Whether you are there or not she will testify.
Whether you see that and hold back, or avoid the situation is your choice to make
Think it through.
Such an arrogant bastard.
Defendant
It is time for witness examination. We will have the first witness requested by the prosecution.
Witness, please come in.
Witness stand
Hey Judge! Why isn't Choi Woo Hyeok here? Juror
As discussed in the meeting, we are proceeding without the defendant for this witness examination.
Prosecutor, please start your questioning.
Yes.
Everyone's staring at me.
What?
What's she talking about. She wants to get rid of the audience too?
Just relax. They are paying attention to you. You're an important witness.
It feels like I became a laughingstock.
So what should we do? Should we put up a partition here so that they can't see your face?
We can't do that.
Witness Lee Joo Ri. I am attorney Han Ji Hoon, responsible for the defense of Choi Woo Hyeok.
We have complied with the request of the witness by having the defendant leave the courtroom.
Because it wasn't affecting the hearing too much.
However, if the witness is unwilling to show the audience her face as she is being questioned.
That's a different case.
How is it different?
It can give the impression that the witness has something to hide.
At least that's what I feel.
I have nothing that I want to hide.
How boring. Why should you put up with all sorts of her complaints?
Hey. Are you famous? Are you popular?
I don't even know who you are.
We need to know you for it to be a show.
She's right. Your worrying is pointless.
Just do it. I'll keep my eyes closed.
I don't know you either.
An attention whore? You are totally nobody.
Lies.
It's impossible that you don't know me. Don't lie.
A leper, a virus and a monster with pimples on my face.
You have been making a fool of me for last two years on the internet and in the classroom mercilessly.
Then, just because you want something out of me now, you are saying you don't know me?
You're saying that you don't know me? You people?
Joo Ri.
That's right. I lied.
That it was Cho Rong and not me who saw it.
That is was Cho Rong and not me who wrote the accusation. I lied.
It's not my fault!
There was nothing else I could do.
No matter how important my story was.
If I told it, you wouldn't listen.
You wouldn't believe me.
Because I'm Lee Joo Ri.
We're here to fix that.
We're going to listen to you, trust you and go back to the start of this case.
Joo Ri. I'm going to do this questioning properly.
I'm going to ask every little last thing so that nobody can doubt you anymore.
Can you do it?
Lee Joo Ri. You can do it, right?
Let's begin.
Witness, you may only testify after you have taken your oath.
Please lift your right hand and take your oath.
The oath. I swear that I will tell the truth conscientiously
without hiding or adding a word.
- You're here. - Yes.
How about the hearing?
She is the first witness, Lee Joo Ri.
That's the student that wrote the accusation letter, isn't it?
Yes. She couldn't even come to the school after the accident
I have no idea how the kids persuaded Joo Ri to testify.
It was half past eleven on Christmas night.
It was snowing and I was feeling down so I decided to go for a gentle stroll.
Did you plan to go to the school?
No. At first, I was wandering around aimlessly.
I suddenly remembered the 24 hour cafe near the school so I ended up heading there.
Do you have an evidence that you were at the cafe that night?
Since I used my debit card, I have the record of my transaction on my bank account.
I request her transaction record on her bank account as an evidence.
Please submit it until tomorrow.
Yes.
After leaving the cafe, why did you go up to the rooftop?
I thought I saw something shaped like a person.
On the rooftop.
We had very heavy snow that night. It would have not been easy to recognize the shape in the distance.
It wasn't snowing that much at that hour. You can check the weather reports.
So I ended up going up to the rooftop.
I was scared as well. But I couldn't just pass by. I wanted to check what it was.
When you got to the rooftop, what did you see?
Choi Woo Hyeok and Lee So Woo.
Choi Woo Hyeok forced Lee So Woo towards the handrail.
I can't be absolutely sure but Choi Joo Hyeok said he would not leave So Woo alone.
I heard some laughing sounds as well.
Lee So Woo was totally freaked out. He could not resist at all.
Since there were other kids standing behind Choi Woo Hyeok.
Other kids?
Yes, two people.
It was dark and they were facing away so I couldn't see their faces,
but I assumed it was Lee Seong Min and Kim Dong Hyeon without a single doubt.
Witness, do you still remember where exactly the people that night were standing?
Please mark out their positions.
Choi Woo Hyeok
Lee So Woo
Choi Woo Hyeok/ Lee So Woo
Lee So Woo was stepping onto the railing because the defendant threatened him to do so.
What happened after that?
He pushed him.
Choi Woo Hyeok pushed Lee So Woo to fall off.
Then, Choi Woo Hyeok...
killed Lee Soo Woo for sure?
What are we going to do, if it's true?
So what did you do after that?
I ran away.
If I was caught I thought I would die as well. I couldn't think of reporting it to the police at all.
I ran home with all my might and stayed up all night thinking that...
I must have seen wrong and I was out of my mind to see such a thing.
I thought that it was impossible and
that it was something that shouldn't happen.
I didn't sleep a wink and found out the next day at school.
About I am the witness of the accident and Lee Soo Woo was the one murdered.
I was so disturbed, thinking that I might be able to save him.
Subtitles by The Honest Minions Team @Viki
This is the additional evidence to support her testimony.
According to this eyewitness statement she had submitted in advance,
there was a certain sound when Lee So Woo stepped on the railing.
And this is the video recording of the investigation of the crime scene that the prosecution conducted.
Hey are you crazy! Quickly get down from there!
Go Seo Yeon you really!
I hear the sound! I hear the sound!
This is the sound that the witness heard at the time of the incident.
After investigation it has been confirmed that out of the steal coverings placed over the roof protective barriers
it was the sound of one of the rails rattling as it broke off and a weight was pressed against it.
It's something you can only hear when someone is on it.
Han Ji Hoon - That...is - Let her continue
This is the same identical location as where the witness recalled Student Lee So Woo to be standing
Though the witness witnessed the scene of the incident
fearful of the defendant retaliating, she could not report this fact to the police.
She could't do anything except to write a letter of accusation anonymously.
I hope that you all understand how she felt and believe the witness's words.
This will end the questioning.
Attorney, would you like to begin your cross-examination?
Lee Joo Ri is your testimony true?
- What? - If you do not understand the question I will change the way I express it.
Are you testifying to an incident that you saw directly yourself?
or are you testifying to an imagined scene you created in your head, and what you hope to be true?
Han Ji Hoon! Attorney! Judge
I will ask once again
is your testimony true?
It's the truth.
Thank you
I will conclude my cross-examination.
Witness Stand
Attorney
Both sides have finished their questioning
The witness may leave the courtroom.
We will break for a 30 minute recess.
Girls
She's still crying
If she keeps that up she'll get dehydrated
Seo Yeon
shouldn't we be with her?
She doesn't need comforting.
It's because it's the first time she's ever said everything she needs to say, and is awash with emotion.
Let's give her some time alone.
Wow...they really prepared. It's no joke.
In that video clip when I heard that sound
I felt darn. I totally picked the wrong side
I was debating whether I should flip to the prosecution side. I discovered the rat in myself.
Flit. Flit. Flit
But about the sound you can only hear when someone stood on it..
It could be heard because someone else was stepping on it.
or it could be a sound you heard because you yourself went up there. Don't you think these are possible?
Hey why would Lee Joo Ri go up on the roof guard rail? It's not like she's dying to kill herself or something
You never know.
Friend, your imagination is very vivid.
Is going up to the roof to die some kind of trend?
Then, why don't you say you are going up there, and I am going up there and even everyone else is going up there too?
Hey! I caught you! When are you going to pay back my money?
I sent it to you every month 1700won!
Run..running away! Really I'm going to get you!
See ya!
- Han Ji-- - I know
About what?
The fact that Lee Joo Ri could've personally been on the guard rail and heard it herself.
That's what you were thinking since before.
But then, why didn't you object?
I didn't want to hurt her
I was afraid it might be too painful a memory to be exposed in front of others.
It sounds like you're confident.
Confident enough to consider the feelings of the other side's witness while working on the hearing
It means that you're that confident.
There hasn't been a single day that I was alright since the hearing started.
To me this is difficult. A lot actually.
Could you please summon Choi Woo Hyeok? Lee Joo Ri's turn is over.
Yeah.
Principal have you completed all the preparations for your testimony?
Don't worry it's not only a day or two I've been dealing with kids.
You can't assume that this is a normal meeting between the kids or teachers. You have to be cautious.
Yes, well, I understand.
Well then please do your best. I'll watch from here.
Before the questioning I would like to confirm a few personal details.
Are you Mr. Kim Soo Cheol who is the acting principal of Jeongguk High School?
Yes Witness Stand
What was your position at the time of the incident?
I was the assistant principal.
So you were in charge of the administration and management of Jeongguk High?
Correct.
Ok I will begin questioning.
No, one moment please.
Please step aside for me.
I am not here to make some kind of testimony.
Under the disguising name of so called testimony, students are talking about unverified things
and seeing that this hearing creates discord amongst the students, I came here to rectify things.
Witness you are now
I would like it if you called me "teacher".
Understood.
Since it is us who had requested you testify at the hearing, we will listen to whatever you have to say.
It's fine if you don't think of it as a testimony.
Please state your opinions at your leisure.
Well, first of all,
the reason for the accusation that Go Seo Yeon argued in the first hearing:
that it was an unjust situation created by the school anti-violence committee
That's why he left school. That's the language she used.
I mean what does it mean that it was unjust?
Isn't it implying that the school had acted unfairly in some way?
The school anti-violence committee was held under exact protocol and regulation.
Then what about the fact that Lee So Woo became the attacker?
The fact that Lee So Woo got unilaterally beat up by Choi Woo Hyeok was an obvious fact.
How could the school know that?
No one testified to that.
The school, for the sake of evaluating the situation,
did its best to get as many witness accounts as possible
But no one stepped forward.
Though there were at least 20 witnesses to the science lab incident
not a single statement was submitted.
What can the school do in this situation?
Stating there to be problems with Choi Woo Hyeok's past behavior
should we assume he was the attacker and have him go through the examination of the school anti-violence committee?
To find the truth of the matter the school could've taken an neutral stance Judge
Student Choi Woo Hyeok claimed he was hit
while Student Lee So Woo did not say anything.
That's the facts that we had investigated.
And so we held a school anti-violence committee disciplinary hearing on those facts. That's what the protocol was.
What about the fact that it was held exceptionally early?
The dates are to the chairman's discretion.
Since we had to make sure that all the committee members could attend that is what happened.
This again was done according to regulation.
What about the fact that the involved student's parent participated as a committee member?
What did you say?
This is the hierarchy of the Jeongguk High School school anti-violence committee.
Choi Woo Hyeok's father, President Choi Moo Seong, had participated as a committee member.
He is the member of the school management committee. There is no problem with him attending the school anti-violence committee.
These are the rules of the school anti-violence committee.
Article 8 1-1 states
a committee member who
is the parent of either a victim or an attacker
will be barred from participating in that incident.
This is a clear violation of the rules.
Could such a school anti-violence committee make a fair decision?
The objective of the school anti-violence committee is not just disciplinary action
but to hear both sides and mediate the situation.
By not attending, Student Lee So Woo refused his chance to explain himself!
Do you really think Lee So Woo had a chance to explain himself?
The fact that Choi Woo Hyeok's father even violated the rules to attend the school anti-violence committee meeting,
the fact that knowing the position of the defendant at the school, yet, the school publicly asked for statements,
in and of themselves shows that the school deprived Lee So Woo of a chance to explain himself.
Student Han Ji Hoon! With what evidence do you say things like--
The Jeongguk High School students are that evidence.
Visitor's Comments
You go to the school anti-violence committee.
The results of the school anti-violence committee are obvious.
Lee So Woo will be forcibly transferred or expelled.
To be honest, I saw the fight that happened in the lab but I couldn't testify.
Me too. Because I'm scared of Choi Woo Hyeok.
Even if you all did testify, the result won't change, haha.
That's true. That kid last year also got forcibly transferred.
Lee So Woo's so pitiful since he happened to be born as a dirt spooner. (dirt spoon = dirt poor in the spoon hierarchy)
These are the Jeongguk High School students comments from Jeongguk High Sentry the day after the science lab incident.
It's not that the students don't know anything or have nothing to say about it.
Even knowing something went wrong,
last year, the year before too. Because these incidents have been recurring year after year,
they've given up even the will to rectify things.
Okay. Let's say that there were a few underhanded tricks by the school violence committee.
Even so, what's the relevance to this hearing?
Is this a place that audits the school administration?
There is a relationship between them.
In the school anti-violence committee meeting where Lee So Woo stood as the attacker, there were a few improprieties.
After Student Lee So Woo encountered this unfair treatment it is possible that his depression could've
worsened is the opinion of the attorney.
What the...
Thank you for being with us today.
I will conclude my questioning.
Understood. Prosecutor cross-examining--
You should all stop it at this point.
Why is he being like that?
We will hold a 10 minute recess.
That's someone who has nothing to do with the Lee So Woo incident. Why?
I think we'd need at least one witness to represent the school's perspective.
Is that all you want from the principal's testimony?
Yes, one way to view it is just as procedural.
We might fall asleep listening to him.
I tried to explain ourselves but what kind of mess is this!
To say his depression deepened because of the school!
That's an outrageous speculation!
How will we resolve this is totally beyond...
Team Leader Han please speak
isn't this something your son did?
Team Leader Han are you now laugh--?
Subtitles by The Honest Minions Team @Viki
Mom!
- Super awesome! - Hello!!
Hello!
What are all these?
I wanted to bring you guys some food.
Here's a fork!
I love you, Mother!
Okay. Hurry and eat.
Seo Yeon, come and talk with me for a bit.
Picture. We need to take a picture of the food first!
Were you up early to make all that for us?
Go Seo Yeon,
what's that about the video with you on the guard rail?
What are you thinking, doing that?
In that moment, I just wanted to go up and make certain of the facts. That's all I was focused on.
No matter how important the hearing is if you, for example, took one wrong step or something,
if you happened to lose your balance even once!
Regardless, I'm here unscathed, aren't I?
I'm sorry! I won't do that again, ok?
Do you think this is something you can brush over by being cute?
I'm really mad!
Seo Yeon! If something happens to you I wouldn't be able to live with it.
Just watching that darkened the living daylights and made my heart sink.
Do you see where I'm coming from?
I do. I'm sorry, I really did bad.
I won't do something dangerous like that again.
What a nightmare I just got out of!
Go in. Hurry and eat before it cools. Ok?
Eat a lot!
Seo Yeon, another thing.
From now on whatever it may be confirming the scene or whatever. If you need anything let your mom know.
I will tightly wrap rope around my waist and even go up a building for you if I have to.
- Okay? - Geez
Go on.
Senior!
Huh, Detective Oh, are you going back to the station?
No. I was just getting something from my car. Are you going back to the station?
Yeah, I need to get back to work.
Okay. I will go back soon before getting caught, too.
My naughty-break is getting longer than I planned.
Did Seo Yeon say anything about Han Ji Hoon?
Han Ji Hoon? Oh, the student who is the defense attorney?
Yes. Since Seo Yeon is doing a club activity with him, did you happen to hear anything Seo Yeon said about Han Ji Hoon?
No. Because Seo Yeon rarely talks about others.
No. Just because Han Ji Hoon seems to be a little extraordinary student during the hearing. He is different from other kids.
The way he talks and the attitude he has.
He seems to be very smart.
He knows how to attack the weakest points on others and how to maneuver a person to prove his point.
Yes. It looks like he moves his chessman on a chessboard while overlooking us from the above.
Oh, I'm headed there now-- Let's talk later.
Okay. Goodbye!
Bye.
Huh? Huh? Did you find anything?
Really?
Okay, I understand.
That's why it's strange.
The fact that we who are digging other's behind couldn't find that person.
That means that person is not revealing him-or-herself on purpose.
These are the comments from the students on the Jeongguk High Sentinel website after the incident in the science lab.
How dare you come here? Do you want to die?
How can you stand up? No, you can't!
- Choi Woo Hyeok! - Woo Yeok, please! - Let go of me!
I need to talk to that bastard!
Judge! A recess, please!
- Prosecutor and attorney! Come out! - What the!
Let go of me!
What's wrong with all of your witnesses, Kim Dong Yeon and Lee Joo Ri?
Can't you bring any witness Choi Woo Hyeok can bear?
Something like, "the dictator's democracy?" How on earth can you ask for such an oxymoron?
Exactly! Since we are the prosecution, we brought the witness to prove our points.
Kim Dong Hyeon testified already last time. Why did you summon him again?
He contacted us, saying he wanted to testify.
About what?
First, he couldn't finish this testimony last time. And he has something he must say in the hearing.
Can you control the defendant?
I'll try.
Don't try, just make it happen no matter what.
You concluded that the school had to be blamed for Lee Soo Woo's suicide right in the face of the acting principal.
Looking at his face, I am sure he suffers from high-blood pressure with your argument.
If we cause any problem during the healing, it could lead to the dismissal of our club.
Challenging the authority of the school could be harmful to us. We better watch for that.
Let's get in.
Witness had left the courtroom during your testimony at the last hearing.
What was the reason?
As I said, I was scared of Choi Woo Hyeok. That's why I had to run away.
Look at me. It turned out to be exactly I expected.
Was that really because of me, you bastard!
Then, let me continue questioning you about your previous testimony regarding the defendant's alibi.
You stated that Choi Woo Hyeok and Lee Seong Min disappeared while you were drinking with them.
What did you do afterwards?
I went out to meet other kids.
What time was that?
At 11:30.
Was there anyone who saw you at that time?
My friends.
Is there anyone besides your friends?
There is an evidence! That photo!
This is the evidence that the witness was at a different place at the time of the accident.
With this evidence, the defendant's alibi which the witness was with him is totally false.
This is no use. Proving alibi being false or whatever. It's all totally no use.
You all are making a huge scene to prove Choi Woo Hyeok killed Lee Soo Woo after all, aren't you?
Then, what?
Choi Woo Hyeok told me once.
Ah, Lee So Woo?
I was the one who killed him.
That's what he said.
He said that he killed Lee So Woo.
Objection. Without proof...
That f**king bastard!
Bastard! Kim Dong Hyeon you bastard!
Hey! Stop crying!
I feel like crying, too.
I feel so bad for Lee So Woo!
How could something like that happen?
No matter how much he hated Lee So Woo, how could he...to his classmate?
It's not for certain yet.
How can you be as cool as a cucumber at this situation?
He confessed it by himself. How can it be uncertain?
I am trying to think rationally in any situation.
It's just what the witness said. It is not a final verdict yet.
Don't let it sway you.
Is this the end for us?
Han Ji Hoon, don't say, you're planning to run away from this?
We will have one hour for a recess, won't we?
If I'm not back by then,
- please help me with witness examination. - Me?
I will trust you.
What? Where are you going?
I had deja vu of this scene.
The latest update for the school hearing. You go to Hawaii! (meaning you are the one in a trouble, not me. Quoted from the Korean movie called, "Friends")
You can watch the video of Kim Dong Hyeon's testimony at this link.
Can it be a valid testimony even though it was said during the mock trial?
- Lee So Woo is so poor. - Choi Woo Hyeok is a total rubbish. Go kill yourself.
I can't trust what Kim Dong Hyeon said. To be honest, he doesn't have any proof.
Lee So Woo killed himself. The police investigated it twice. We should believe them.
I feel worse for Choi Woo Hyeok.
With just one word, how can people treat a person as a murderer?
Let's just focus on a fact. Only a fact.
- Jung Pa? - Yes.
Cheer up! I feel bad to see you depressed this much.
Why do you have to feel so bad about me?
That's true.
Why did Kim Dong Hyeon hide such an important thing all by himself up to now without telling us earlier
while two investigations had been all finished?
He must have done that because he was scared of Choi Woo Hyeok. I had an inkling of it.
I sensed that he really had something else to say.
What do you think of it? Is it trustworthy?
I can't say for sure at all. A part of me thinks they are honest because they are kids.
The other part of me thinks they could lie because they are kids, too.
You are too limited to think like that from the start.
If you think carefully, the kids' inner world is deeper and more complicated than ours.
Look at us. While we are participating in the social activities,
we tend to round up all of our corners just to mingle with others. (Meaning of giving up/changing one's opinions for others)
But kids still have those sharp corners in them.
The more you look at each of the kids, the more perplexities you get, like falling into a deeper and deeper maze.
I hate myself for agreeing with what you said...
Yes. Right now Choi Woo Hyeo is in the teacher's lounge with some of teachers.
Yes, I understand.
President Choi is coming in person to get Chio Woo Hyeok.
It is better to send Choi Woo Hyeok home so that he can clam himself down.
What on earth is happening?
By the way, Team Leader Han,
I know Choi Woo Hyeok didn't kill Lee So Woo for sure.
I totally believe in Choi Woo Hyeok.
However, just in case Kim Dong Yeon's testimony was true,
shouldn't we come up with some tactics for it?
There's no need for that.
You never know for sure.
But what if Choi Woo Hyeok gets a guilty verdict?
Whether he's guilty or not isn't important.
This trial has a different objective.
We're not open yet.
Lee Seong Min.
How did you know I am here?
Kim Dong Hyeon took the witness stand.
So what?
He said something against Choi Woo Hyeok.
So what?
Help us. You're Choi Woo Hyeok's best friend.
We're not friends.
I told you I don't pathetically hang around with him anymore.
You're just like Kim Dong Hyeon, huh?
On the outside you pretend to be his friend while on the inside
you're just hoping for him to mess up so that you can come out on top.
How dare you compare me to Kim Dong Heyon?
Who on earth are you? Why is your true intention taking Chio Woo Hyeok's side and shaking him up?
- I am his defense attorney. - Shut up. Just spit it up.
I've disliked you from the beginning.
You don't even go to our school and you suddenly interfere.
You don't know even a thing about Chio Woo Hyeok. Yet, why you are taking his side?
Aren't you the one like Kim Dong Hyeon?
Secretly thinking other thoughts and hiding something fishy.
Don't come here again.
Choi Woo Hyeok means nothing to me.
Don't live like a crap!
What?
You used to be a friend when he was in power, and you are a stranger when he became nobody?
If I were you I'd be so embarrassed that I'd want to die.
This bastard!
Please tell us in more detail.
About the situation that you had that conversation in.
At the rooftop of billiard hall where we would meet a lot.
We went up there briefly to smoke.
On the memorial day for Lee So Woo.
- What are you doing? - You scared me!
Why are you so jumpy?
- You were looking at something weird, weren't you? - I wasn't!
You so were! You're hiding something.
Hey, grab his phone.
What were you looking at?
I really wasn't! It's just...
I was looking at this picture someone uploaded.
Since there is a memorial today.
The memorial?
Ah, Lee So Woo?
That kid...
I was the one who killed him.
After hearing him say that, what did you do?
I was too surprised to say anything. I just laughed and told him to stop lying.
You thought he was kidding?
No. I was afraid.
I was afraid if I asked if it was true that he would say yes.
Then, Witness, you must have had the suspicion that Chio Woo Hyeok might have killed Lee So Woo for a long time.
As soon as I heard news of Lee So Woo being killed I thought it might be Choi Woo Hyeok who did it.
Even though I couldn't speak up.
What was your reason for thinking that?
Because of the fight in the science lab.
You guys don't know how mad Choi Woo Hyeok was because of Lee So Woo.
I testified that it wasn't a big deal and I forgot everything immediately.
That was a freaking lie.
I remember clearly because I heard it from Choi Woo Hyeok on that night.
The fight didn't start just because Lee So Woo gave a look to Choi Woo Hyeok.
What did he say to Choi Woo Hyeok again?
Something like he was nothing but a mere bug, not a human thing in Lee So Woo's point of view.
It was beyond the cursing, that crazy jerk said.
Lee So Woo said those kinds of words to the defendant?
Yeah. Anyway that was the first time I've seen Choi Woo Hyeok so pissed off.
He said he was going to make him unable to come to school. He said he was going to kill him.
He said that.
Geez, I can't put up with this nonsense any longer.
Hey, Kim Dong Hyeon! Are you making things up just because Choi Woo Hyeok is not here?
Please sit down.
You all are falling into the tricks he is playing.
It is just the habit of Choi Woo Hyeok to say about killing someone.
When he goes nuts, he says it automatically without meaning it.
You can't speak without the permission from the Judge.
Then, let me be a witness, too.
You're a juror.
I can do both. Just let me be a witness.
I am warning you. If you say one more thing, you will be kicked out.
- Who can kick me out of here? - Send her out.
- Who are you to do this! - Please send her out!
How annoying!
- Prosecutor, please continue. - Yes.
Let me summarize the witness's testimony.
Because of the fight at the science lab, Chio Woo Hyeok held ill feelings towards Lee So Woo
and said he'd kill him. After Lee So Woo's death,
Choi Woo Hyeok said himself that he'd killed Lee So Woo.
The defendant clearly had a motive for the crime,
there were a witness at the crime scene, as well as someone who heard his confession,
and the defendant's alibi was a lie.
My examination ends here.
- Isn't this the end of the trial? - It can conclude for 100%. It is so awful!
Attorney, would you like to cross-examine?
Yes. But can you give me just ten minutes?
Okay. We will have a recess for ten minutes.
Do I look like a shocking coward?
No. I know already
that you are too busy nowadays to care for other things such as the school trial.
I heard Kim Dong Hyeon asked for a huge amount of money for settling the accident between you and him, right?
Choi Woo Hyeok told me about it.
He seems to be worried that you can't afford to go to a university because of so much debt to pay back.
He should have worried about himself first.
Did he share even such a thing with you?
Once in a while, he said something like that. I can't be sure if he says it from his heart or not.
That's because he is simple. He is just an immature child.
Choi Woo Hyeok is very lonely.
You haven't contacted him ever since fighting with Kim Dong Hyeon.
Now he really thinks that he's alone.
What else did Kim Dong Hyeon testify again?
That Choi Woo Hyeok killed Lee So Woo, that he directly said so.
What?
I was shocked as well.
- Ah, that crazy bastard. - That's why I came here.
Because you are the only person to reverse that testimony.
I am sorry to hit you.
I hit you, too.
- I am sorry. - When did you hit me? I dodged all of your attacks!
Your nose is bleeding.
You promised to prove Choi Woo Hyeok is innocent.
I don't know how you can be full of confidences. In any case, you should keep your promise.
Without fail!
Yeah.
Wait a minute. Let me just prepare for opening of the shop.
Hello. I'm the attorney's assistant, Bae Joon Yeong.
Since the attorney is not available for a short time, inevitably I am going to do cross-examination.
Please take care of me.
Then, I shall start questioning.
- Finish it up quickly. I am getting sick of it. - Okay.
Do you like the defendant as a human?
- No. - Then, witness.
Do you consider the defendant as a friend?
Why do you ask such a crap?
Please answer me. Do you consider the defendant a friend?
Why am I a friend with such a bastard?
He is trash worse than you all can imagine.
He controlled me in his way, cursed at me, and beat me up as well.
Don't you know all about it?
Witness. Now you say that you hate the defendant.
Yes. I don't like him. What about it? I am not scared of him any more.
Understood.
The witness doesn't like the defendant. He never considered the defendant as his friend. He never liked the defendant.
The witness dislikes the defendant so much that he even called the defendant trash.
With his strong bias, we can't trust his testimony at all in my opinion.
This concludes the cross-examination.

Han Ji Hoon!
I am sorry for being late.
What happened to your face?
You guys fought?
We had some different opinions. How was cross-examination?
Our Joon Young totally did rock!
Kim Dong Hyeon has ill feeling about the defendant. Therefore we can't trust his testimony.
This is not just an empty word. You did such a great job!
Shaking a basic premise like what you did is the foundation stone of cross-examination.
I had goose bumps all over me.
Do you want to touch it?
I can't stay here for a long time. When should I go up?
When does the recess finish?
Just a sec.
We have 11 minutes left.
For 11 minutes, tell me everything you can.
Oath. I swear that I will tell the truth conscientiously
without hiding or adding a word.
Thank you. Attorney. Start with witness examination.
Okay.
The witness is the closest friend of the defendant.
Therefore, he knows about the defendant very well. But from your point of view, he could be biased.
I will try my best to regulate his testimony objectively,
so please try to listen fairly without any prejudice.
Let me start the examination.
Witness, first I will show you a video clip.
Choi Woo Hyeok once told me. "Lee So Woo? I was the one who killed him," that's what he said.
Witness, have you also heard these words?
Yeah, but it was a joke.
Hey. don't make things up! Who can believe that?
Silence!
What's the reason for you thinking it's a joke?
Just, because Woo Hyeok laughed.
Did he laugh while he saying that?
After Choi Woo Hyeok said he killed Lee So Woo, Kim Dong Yeon's face turned totally pale with fright.
I was the one who killed him.
He is totally freaked out.
Looking at Kim Dong Hyeon's frightened reaction, Choi Woo Hyeok laughed.
Choi Woo Hyeok was playing a trick on Kim Dong Hyeon.
Did the witness and the defendant play that kind of trick each other often?
- Yeah. - What was the reason?
Because Kim Dong Hyeon was easy to be provoked and frightened. it was fun to watch him react to our tricks.
That is why we used to make things up to trick Kim Dong Hyeon.
Now I'll question about the motive of the defendant.
What did he say to Woo Hyeok again? Something like he was nothing but a mere bug, not a human being in Lee So Woo's point of view.
It was completely beyond cursing, what that jerk said.
Lee So Woo said those kinds of words to the defendant?
Yeah. Anyway that was the first time I've seen Choi Woo Hyeok so pissed off.
He said he was going to make him unable to come to school. That he was going to kill him. Like that.
Witness, do you also remember how the defendant reacted after the fight in the science lab?
Like the testimony on this video, was Choi Woo Hyeok angry to the point he wanted to kill Lee So Woo?
Choi Woo Hyeok was angry for sure. But he often says such a thing like "he will kill someone."
That is just his expression to show how much he got pissed off.
Doesn't mean he'd actually kill someone.
He doesn't really mean it?
Yeah. His anger towards Lee So Woo disappeared in one or two days.
And Kim Dong Hyeon started to hang around with Woo Hyeok very recently.
He said he had never seen Choi Woo Hyeok got pissed off that much before, but I have seen such things a lot.
What you are saying is Kim Dong Hyeon testified impetuously
with his subjective standards and little experience, right?
Objection! The defense is overstating the witness's testimony.
Sustained. Please retain your own opinion.
Understood.
Witness, by any chance, do you know
the exact reason for the fight between Choi Woo Hyeok and Lee So Woo in the science lab?
According to Woo Hyeok, because Lee So Woo gave a dirty look at him,
so he asked, "What are you looking at?"
By any chance, was there any accident between both of them?
Never. Woo Hyeok said it was the first time he exchanged words with Lee So Woo that day.
That is why it seemed strange why Lee So Woo suddenly wanted to fight with Choi Woo Hyeok.
Even when Lee So Woo knew, he would get beaten up severely by Choi Woo Hyeok.
So I asked...
the person. I asked.
The person? You mean Lee So Woo?
Witness, did you meet Lee So Woo? When?
In the middle of December, on the way from the convenience store at night.
What kind of conversation did you exchange?
Just... he was strange.
You are the one from class 2-1 who fought with Woo Hyeok, aren't you?
Go away, punk! This is Woo Hyeok's neighborhood.
How are you going to do if you ran into Woo Hyeok?
If I do, I should greet him gladly.
Quit b***sh**ing and leave quickly. That way is to the bus stop.
By the way, why did you do that to Woo Hyeok?
I am asking you! You said something like a bug and trash, didn't you?
Why did you do that?
I just shot a flare so that they could come find me.
What?
Because I have someone I want to see.
Such a retard.
I got what I wanted because I met that person.
Can you repeat that, please?
What I said was Lee So Woo wanted to see someone
and he caused an accident so that that person came to see him.
That sort of stories.
- Who will that be? - I don't know that.
In any case, he said his wish came true.
He said he met that person.
Lee So Woo, please pay your respects to Team Leader Han Kyeong Moon of the Jeongguk Foundation.
Solomon's Perjury
Are you afraid of me doing something with your secrets?
Forget about everything you know.
Just get back to be a normal student who knows nothing.
Are you asking me for a favor or threatening me?
So Woo... Have you ever met him without me?
When he fought with Choi Woo Hyeok.
Was it all for sure?
- This one. - Is this?
What about this?
When I looked into it yesterday, there were strange call records.
Even five times.
Someone called Lee So Woo on Christmas. Just who was it?
The man Woo Hyeok told you he saw, I saw him, too.
- Sunbeanim! - Yes?
Someone came to see you.
Between two accidents, fire accident and Lee So Woo accident, have something in common clearly.
Something is very fishy about doing the school trial.
Are you risking too much while the school trial is going on at the moment?
Until when do we need to be timid to see about kids' playing?
Just proceed as it is.
Who is the attorney for my son, Choi Woo Hyeok?
Choi Woo Hyeok wants to stop attending the trial.
I will see how you are getting destroyed.
This is an important issue. Someone whom we don't know...
has something to do with Lee So Woo's accident.
