Timing and Subtitles by the Honest Minions Team @ viki
Lee So Woo didn't commit suicide. I saw it.
Lee So Woo was murdered by Choi Woo Hyeok.
I will conduct a school trial for Lee So Woo's case.
I am accusing Choi Woo Hyeok of murdering Lee So Woo.
The prosecutor is under a delusion.
Why is he intervening in the affairs of our school when he is attending another school?
He is my son.
Do I take after you, Dad?
Eye brows, eyes, and hair! All the same!
11 years ago.
Oh, Mr. Prosecutor, you came.
Yes. Where is the witness?
Yes. This way.
Mr. Prosecutor, No matter how many times I look into it, he must have committed a murder when he was totally drunk.
But he adamantly denies it.
That child witnessed his mother being murdered in front of him.
But he is not showing even a single drop of tears and has kept silent.
If we can't get his testimony, we may have to release the murderer just like that.
How old is that child?
Seven years old. His name is Yang Ji Hoon.
Hi, Ji Hoon!
Hello, my name is Han Kyeong Moon.
Oh, no. Policemen were so bad.
It's so cold here and you are wearing thin clothing.
Here.
Did you get hurt while you were playing?
No.
No. I will get scolded.
By whom?
Perhaps... Did your Dad... to you as well?
Ji Hoon, you don't want to be here, do you?
The scary-looking guys are coming in to talk to you.
They told you to stay still in this stuffy room, right?
Then, do you want to have a bet with me?
Let's stare at each other. If you can look at me for ten seconds, I will let you go home.
Shall we try? Look at me.
Ready? Start!
Ten
Nine.
Eight.
Seven.
Six.
I don't want to do it!
I don't want to go!
Please don't send me home.
I don't want to go home.
Is that why you didn't say anything?
Because you were afraid that they would send you back home?
Ji Hoon, your dad is not at home.
You dad is not at home. A policeman took him away.
He will come back.
My dad always did that.
No. No. I will promise you.
Your dad won't be around you.
So you just need to tell us what you saw yesterday.
No one will hurt you again from now on.
Ji Hoon, please tell me.
Now truly, truly everything will be okay.
Huh? Please tell me.
My dad...
did that.
Yes. We just got his testimony.
Yes. Yes.
Did your dad do that?
Did you see that?
Right in front of you, your dad did that to your mom?
Mr. Prosecutor, Chief would like to see you.
Hello. This is Han Kyeong Moon.
What did you say?
Okay.

Ji Hoon!
It's been a while.
Okay. Here we go!
Okay. Let's eat.
- Thank you for the yummy food! - Okay.
Ji Hoon, I got a permission from the director of your orphanage to take you back tomorrow.
- Really? - Yes.
What should we do to make you happy?
Tell me what you want to have and what you want to buy. I will buy it for you.
Here it is. Ji Hoon. Let me see.
Oh, these go well with you! Let's get these.
♫ Be sure you won't give up and can we start some light ♫
♫ There is no need to be afraid of your pain ♫
What? That one? Do you want to get it?

♫ Nothing changes you and me, love of all ♫
Huh? No. No. No. It's Okay. It's Okay. It's me. Sleep.
Why aren't you sleeping?
Well. I don't know. I am not sleepy.
Thank you for everything today.
It was the first time for me to fall asleep with this nice feeling.
It is a beginning. You will do that every day from now on.
I don't think so.
Well. Then, Ji Hoon.
Should I ask the people in your orphanage to let you stay here for one more day?
So you can do more of whatever you want,
and I'll buy everything you want to have.
A family.
What I want to have is... a family.
♫ When it's so delightful you can breathe ♫
♫ If you feel so small in this world ♫
My dad Han Ji Hoon ♫ I will always be with you and won't let you be alone ♫

Solomon's Perjury Episode 9
I was like you too.
I thought that I couldn't do anything,
and I couldn't even think of running away.
In the end, I lost something precious,
so I regret it a lot.
That night, why couldn't I hold my mom's hand and run away.
Why couldn't I have reported it a little bit earlier?
Why. Why, out of all people, was I the only one who survived?
Seven-year-old me. I harbor animosity towards him and I regret so much.
But you still have a chance.
Hey, Choi—
You've worked hard. Have a nice day.
Yes.
What happened?
She confessed everything about the connection between President Choi and the firework expert.
Even though it's disadvantageous for President Choi for her to do so?
I can tell exactly what happened.
Since her husband's business is failing,
to save herself she is turning into a whistle-blower.
Scary, it's scary.
As we all expected, her family is a total mess.
Listening to her, it's not that.
It seems that President Choi has been using violence towards her.
Even to Choi Woo Hyeok. Her anger is exploding after having born it for a long time.
As a result, it has helped the investigation immensely, but I feel like we can't just be glad...
Speaking of Han Ji Hoon,
knowing the situation in that family, he convinced President Choi's wife
and got to know about the fireworks expert.
Han Ji Hoon told her to reveal (information) about the fireworks expert so that it could help to prove Choi Woo Hyeok 's innocence,
and so she could end being a victim of domestic violence.
He did that?
Which means the reason he came to tell us about the fireworks expert...
He didn't come here to check anything. His intention was to give us that information
so we can arrest President Choi.
What kind of kid is he?
Ahjussi, open the trunk.
Where are we going?
- Don't argue and just get in. - Mum!
No one can see us!
Where are we going?
To the airport.
Mom!
Are you going to keep being like this?
What?
Just because my past is like that, there's no reason to be cautious.
I'm the same Han Ji Hoon I was yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
Just treat me as you would normally. Talk with me and make some jokes as well.
Sorry. I don't know what to say.
You've been to my house.
How does it feel to have been adopted into a rich family?
Even if you're the adopted son, will you inherit the property later on?
What about these sorts of questions?
What?
Ah, Jeez...
I'm fine.
Dad loves me a lot and I'm leading a pleasant life.
I think I am very fortunate.
So... Are you happy?
That was a silly question. Sorry.
Just, even with what had happened, I was just wondering if someday one can have a better life.
It does become better.
It will become better. Trust me.
Choi Woo Hyeok. Even though I showed him the bottom of my heart, he won't run away, will he?
Then he'd be a real moron.
However, after the police investigation the house owner was arrested
for the arson on his own house, intending to collect insurance compensation.
Reporter Kim Do Hyeon will tell you the details.
Late at night, on January 24th,
there was a big fire at one house in Sungdam-Dong, Seoul. [News: The fire accident in Sungdam-Dong turned out to be owner arson.
Seventy-five-year-old Ms. Kim passed away due to the fire while she was sleeping in that house.
By any chance, is that...?
Ms. Kim was the mother of Mr. Choi who was the owner of the house.
- Isn't that Choi Woo Hyeok's dad on the news right now? - Crazy ass.
Crazy! Then he set the fire to get the money from the insurance? Wow!
What an insane family! A psychopath gave a birth to a psychopath.
If only Choi Woo Hyeok would get lost and leave our school.
Let's conduct a campaign to collect signatures for his expulsion. For real!
Oh, Go Seo Yeon is here.
I heard that you father is a detective at Nambu police station. Is it right?
Do you know anything about Woo Hyeok's family's case? Have you heard anything?
Was Choi Woo Hyeok also an accomplice?
Lay off.
Seo Yeon. Seo Yeon.
Let's talk later.
Right now, let's just pay attention to the class and talk later.
Yeah... Okay.
Oh, jeez. How can it be?
Some parents came to complain to me just before.
Am I a principal or a receptionist to take complaints?
Team Leader Han, let's just forget about protecting Choi Woo Hyeok now.
There is a limit for me to pamper him.
The problem isn't just about Choi Woo Hyeok.
You know President Choi Moo Seong well, don't you?
If we provoke him when he is arrested, we don't know where and what he will confess.
Yes. And we can leave a bad example of
how we dealt with VIP students when they were in trouble.
At the moment we are even facing the reduction in VIP admissions by half.
By the way, this isn't sure yet.
There is a rumor that the principal is contacting the students who are participating in the school trial.
What? Why would he? Is he supporting the students?
We're trying to figure it out at the moment.
Are you finalizing the change of school policies?
Yes.
As soon as the hearing is over this time, recommend the students dismantle their club.
If they don't listen to you, just follow the school policy.
Follow the school policy?
Are you really thinking of expulsion or something?
Ah, I knew this would happen.
You, prosecution! Even when you wanted to attack the defendant,
couldn't you be more flexible and merciful in regular series?
During one hearing, you attacked him over and over without a break.
Choi Woo Hyeok couldn't put up with it and fled.
How is that our fault?
That's because of his dad!
Hey, guys. Have you eaten anything?
Anyone want to exchange a fried wing for a soy-flavored wing?
- You eat all this. - Yay!
Wow. Min Seok...
What? How about us? We don't eat?
Just die? Die? Huh?
Seung Hyeon, I will order some more for you before you die.
That's okay. We will go get some more snacks on the way home.
Okay. A high school student is like that.
The more you eat, the hungrier you are. The more you sleep, the sleepier you are.
There are so many things to laugh about and so many things to cry over.
But guys...
Can't we stop the trial for a bit?
I'm not telling you to end it completely but the situation right now is grave.
We never had any good situation for the school trial.
It's a bit different this time.
After what happened to Woo Hyeok's family,
the equilibrium of the trial was broken completely.
The prosecution will have so much more power more than they need.
And nobody will listen to the defense no matter what they say.
In this situation, the one who's getting hurt the most is Woo Hyeok.
I know that Woo Hyeok isn't a good friend to you guys.
I know that he's done lots of bad things.
But, even so, he's still a student to me.
What he needs right now is not to be protected.
He needs the experience that someone trusts him and fights with him.
Someone who is on his side, someone who is willing to work hard for him.
He needs to hear and see it.
That's why I believe we should continue with this trial.
Even more so because we're in this situation.
We'll try talking with him too.
Alright.
In any case, something is very fishy about your what true intention is in participating in the school trial.
Because I have a responsibility.
Lee So Woo's friend whom the school, the press, and police don't know about.
Do you really think Lee So Woo had a chance?
- Hey. - Hmm?
Bring me all of the files on Lee So Woo's case.
What? Are you bored? If you're bored, then help me.
- Hurry. - Jeez!
How many months has it been since that case was closed? I'm going to go crazy.
You think I am easy. Easy!
I understand.
If I have more things to ask, I will call you.Thank you.
Okay. Then...
Huh?
Oh!
Hello?
I knew you were going to be like this someday.
Were you missing me since you hadn't seen me in a few days? Or thinking of me while you're lying in your bed?
Is this a time to be laughing? Do you know what situation Jeongguk High School is in?
I am rather relieved of the burden of worry.
I had been bothered that someone might have set the fire out of anger after watching our program on TV.
They say it's not true.
Why are you looking at me like that?
If I start carrying affection towards people, I can't continue doing my job as a reporter.
The more you know, our world is full of terrible people.
If we get disappointed and hurt every time this sort of thing happens, who would be able to survive?
Feelings are for the public. As for us, we need to have hearts of steel.
Isn't it the same?
So, what is Detective Oh's intention in calling me here today?
I was hoping you were looking for a friend to drink with, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
It's not good news.
You know too, the fact that Lee So Woo was once admitted to a mental hospital.
Yes, because his depression was severe. Why?
That hidden friend of Lee So Woo.
I knew that they wouldn't be in a normal place since neither his schoolmates nor parents know.
So, I looked at the records at the mental hospital,
and there was a same-age boy in the same ward.
Who?
- Han Ji Hoon. - What?
The two of them met there, so others don't know.
Wait a minute. I understand that Lee So Woo could be there, but why Han Ji Hoon?
How did he come to be in a mental hospital?
I don't know that either. And I'll feel bad if I try to find out.
Wait a minute. Then he's Jeong Pa!
Look. Lee So Woo's hidden friend
hides his identity and leads the trial. Everything fits into place.
Isn't it weird that he's defending Choi Woo Hyeok?
Usually, if his friend's death is suspicious and someone got accused of it,
shouldn't it be normal to try his best to solve the mystery of his friend's death while standing on his friend's side?
But, why he is on the defendant's side?
And why he is trying to prove that Choi Woo Hyeok is innocent and Lee So Woo committed suicide?
I don't know the reason for those.
Okay. I heard it all. I'll look into it.
No, what trouble are you trying to cause?
Stay out of this. I'll meet with him.
What Teacher Kim said isn't unreasonable.
During the first hearing, after the credibility of the accusation letter was questioned,
I only had thoughts that I had to go as hard as possible.
So I didn't think about how Choi Woo Hyeok would feel, and she's right that I pushed him aside.
I was hasty.
You didn't make up a fake situation, and you didn't exaggerate a small situation and make it big either.
When I look at it as a judge, you did nothing wrong.
He's right. Don't feel guilty about it.
It's not because of the guilty feeling, but I'm starting to question where I'm going with this.
At first, I thought the trial would be the right answer.
Like digging a tunnel, if the prosecution and the defense continue digging from both ends,
I thought we would meet in the middle, where the truth was.
Now, something has gone wrong. Choi Woo Hyeok became the focus not the case.
That's something Choi Woo Hyeok was prepared for.
On the day before the trial, I told him,
"As this goes on, the case will be forgotten gradually but if you attend in the trial,
everything will be focused again and you may get into even worse trouble."
- So? - He still wanted to do it.
He said it was even more bothersome that no one listened to him.
Proving someone innocent using emotions is something everyone can do.
I don't know if you guys believed it, but we aren't going to.
There's no evidence to believe him. His alibi was a lie.
Just because he can't provide an alibi doesn't mean that he's guilty.
Using emotions to help your cause is something you guys do too. You haven't provided any real evidence.
Lee So Woo's call logs that night.
The witness didn't point out Choi Woo Hyeok as the caller.
But it could be that he doesn't remember since it happened a few months ago.
It could also be that Choi Woo Hyeok had someone call Lee So Woo instead.
It's just a theory, but it would explain why the male student was crying.
Choi Woo Hyeok isn't a keen and careful person to plan things ahead like that.
Then who is that boy?
According to what you said, if Lee So Woo commited suicide
and Choi Woo Hyeok had nothing to do with his death,
then who is the boy that called Lee So Woo that night while crying?
Tell me what you are thinking?
We have to reveal that too, at the trial.

Why do I keep thinking about Han Ji Hoon?
Is there anything you know about him?
Second grade in Jeongguk Art High School, majoring in cello. Besides that, is there anything else you know?
No, I don't really know him either. Why?
Just, moment by moment,
he seems so distant and unfamiliar.
It's really cold today. Do I have a fever?
What? Let me see.
Oh, I don't really know.
That's because your hand was super hot. It felt kind of like a smelting furnace.
That's a good thing. That means your blood circulation is good all the way through to the peripheral nerves.
Go and rest up today.
Don't worry. Getting school's first place isn't something you do with your brain.
It's something you do with your health!
Is it all done?
It smells so good. Why isn't she coming down?
Big Daughter, let's eat!
Seo Yeon!
Aren't you going to eat?
Seo Yeon, what's wrong?
What's going on? Seo Yeon! Seo Yeon!
Oh my god, she has a fever.
Honey! Honey!
Gosh, she feels like a fireball.
- What happens? - Just carry her!
Seo Yeon! Here.
Get on.
She went to the hospital?
Yeah. Her mom called to say she won't be attending today.
Even you guys, don't burn yourselves up too much
with extra tutoring or with the school trial.
Since it's still winter break, get as much rest as you can.
Let's get ready for math.
What? Why?
Don't you know Go Seo Yeon?
That iron girl had to be admitted to a hospital. That means she is so seriously sick that she may leave her will.
Too bad.
Kim Min Seok, what are you doing? Aren't you part of the trial club?
We're not doctors. What's the use of visiting a sick girl?
What if I catch a cold?
That's enough. Come. Quickly. Hurry!
Gosh, that trial was too much of work load on you.
You worked day and night for that thing. No wonder you got sick like this.
Honey, don't you have to go to work?
I took care of it.
What kind of porridge does Seo Yeon like?
Beef porridge, no, abalone porridge. That would be good.
Please try to get extra dried radish for a side dish.
Okay. I got it.
Come back soon!
Emergency Medical Center
Where should we go?
Hello.
- Hello. - Oh, hi.
Why are you here at this time?
Our teacher told us Seo Yeon was in the hospital.
We ditched school to come here.
Is Seo Yeon okay?
She just fell asleep.
- You can go in. - Thank you!
Thank you.
Oh, dear!
I heard that you were a student from another school. Why were you dragged here?
Because they said that if I don't come, they'll throw me out of the trial club.
They can't be stopped.
Goodbye.
Defense attorney.
I think it's my turn to help you.
You're eating well.
It's bitter.
Next, red ginger jelly.
Again?
Are you guys trying to turn me into a human red ginger?
Yeah. Eat everything here and we're not going to leave until you fart red ginger.
Here. Open up.
You're eating so well.
Yum.
Where were you?
Hm? I went to the bathroom.
Are you okay?
I am feeling much better after a long and deep sleep with an IV of Ringer's solution.
I might even fly at tomorrow's trial.
Forget about the trial! You're a patient. You came in for being a dead battery.
That's why I'm charging up now, using state of the art medical services.
I'm really okay.
This is really interesting.
Why are you always working so hard?
Don't you want to take naps and play games too? Tell me honestly.
The fact that you think it's interesting is more interesting to me.
It's my responsibility. Isn't it natural that I should work hard?
Don't ask them for understanding of such things.
I am only one who can relate to you as your rival for the first place in school ranking.
Don't ever refer us as the rivals.
You haven't beat me even once.
Hey, on last year's math test in September I got a 96 and you—
I got a 100.
What do we do! She got a 100!
- Hey, where are you going? - He's upset.
- He's mad. - Kim Min Seok!
Seo Yeon, I couldn't tell you this yesterday because I couldn't find the right time.
First.
Rest up.
No way. But how does he know your dad?
I don't know about that. He suddenly asked to pass his contact number, saying he wants to testify.
For now, I saved his number,
but what should I do? What do I say?
Ask to meet with him, immediately, tomorrow.

Please answer my calls.
You have to come to tomorrow's hearing.
I can prove you innocent.
3rd day of the trial
The prosecution, the list of next witnesses...
What is it you want to say to us?
I want to reveal that at the trial.
We need to know something about it in order to prepare for questioning.
It's about the school's and Lee So Woo's relationship.
For now, just know that much.
We just confirmed to have some awesome witness on our side, right?
Yeah. They're right. No matter how hard you work in South Korea it's no use.
You can achieve everything with connections! The connections through birthplaces and schools are the best!
I don't know about this.
I'm all for having a witness,
but the purpose of this witness doesn't seem to be for testifying but for revealing something.
When did you start to develop a distrust of people?
You've really become a prosecutor.
It's not the time to think such a thing. Let's just hurry up and go.
We're going to be late!
Have you been well?
So, you're telling me that the identity of the witness will remain undisclosed in this hearing as well?
Yeah. Be on edge, defense attorney babies.
Is Choi Woo Hyeok not coming?
Yeah. This time we need to conduct a trial in absentia.
What is it? Only you guys understood?
Yeah. What is it?
A trial in absentia is the trial without the defendant's presence.
Didn't you read any of the required reading?
We are always like this.
At the first hearing, we didn't have the jurors. We had a big fight during the second hearing.
It would be even weirder if we had a perfect third hearing.
Let's do our best today.
Today... Let's do our best!
I didn't hear his voice. Do it again.
Ah, really...
Today... Let's do our best!
Oh, what's this?
What is this? I guess we have a fanclub now since we're so good-looking.
Should we taste the fame? Cheers.
Where is he going?
Choi Woo Hyeok.
Don't overreact. I didn't come here because of you.
Thanks.
Also, don't ever forget, to the end,
I'm on your side.
What even...
Please take your seats.
I have something to say before the hearing.
Today's hearing is a trial in absentia
which means a trial without the defendant's presence—
Judge
Choi Woo Hyeok is here?
Did he really come? Prosecution
He came. Good!
Let me correct. Defendant, please come in.
It's him! He really came.
He is really shameless.
Did you take a shower?
He must be something to show up here today.
What is going on?
Silence!
Let's proceed with the witness examination.
The first witness from the prosecution's side, please come in.
Witness! Enter.
I'll be back.
So cold!
Principal
The phone of the person you are trying to call is off right now. Please leave a mes...
What is it? Why isn't he coming in?
His phone's off.
Prosecutor, what is going on?
For now, please leave out this witness.
We will postpone the first witness's testimony for the prosecution's side.
The first witness for the defense, please come in.
Thank you for coming. Please take the oath before testifying.
Okay.
Dad! Why are you testifying?
Objection. He is an irrelevant witness to Lee So Woo's case.
He is the witness to prove the defendant's alibi.
Really?
I swear that I will tell the truth conscientiously
without hiding or adding a word.
Before questioning, let me confirm your personal details.
You are Detective Go Sang Joong, Team Leader of the financial team 1 in the investigation department atNambu Police Station, right?
Yes.
Before we start the examination, I would like to clarify my position here.
I am not the person who was asked to be here by the defense.
I am the person who heard testimony from the witness and came to pass that along.
That's hearsay evidence.
When did we exclude hearsay evidence for this trial?
I am willing to answer all the questions for the defense and the prosecution,
but because it is involved in an on-going trial, I can refuse to answer some questions at my discretion.
It is not because I think of this trial lightly or because I am disrespecting this school trial. Please understand that.
Please start the examination.
Okay.
Can you tell me for whose behalf you are here?
No. I can't expose the name or the identity of that person.
Then, during this questioning how should we call the person?
Let's refer to him as the fireworks expert since it is the nickname of that person anyway.
I got it.
Then, what is the reason the fireworks expert can't be here?
Because that person is in police custody for a crime.
What was that person accused of?
It is the arson of a structure with current residents.
It's the crime of setting a fire to a house where people are living at the time of the accident.
When and where did that fire accident happen?
Last month on the 24th.
At the house of the defendant, Choi Woo Hyeok, here.
Why did the fireworks expert set the fire to the defendant's house?
It was because of an order from his client.
Who was that client?
I can't answer that question,
because how when and who ordered the arson are the main issues that the on-going trial will discuss.
Even though it has been revealed through the media?
Still, I can't tell about it.
Please keep in your mind that I am a incumbent policeman before being a witness.
Okay, then.
Have you ever heard of forced demolition?
Yes.
The fireworks expert does that kind of job.
He gets paid for planning arson and demolishing structures with fire.
For the last few days, the media called the accident which happened to the defendant's house
a cruel and merciless crime which aimed for an insurance payment. But it was not true.
President Choi who had been accused of ordering arson closed his bank account
to refuse to accept the insurance money after the accident,
saying he can't take the money in exchange for the life of his mother.
In fact, the actual goal of these two people was not the insurance money
but the forced demolition of the house, or the property.
Can you please give us more details?
President Choi who was the client of the fireworks expert wanted to demolish his house to build a new building.
However, his mother, the owner of the land had been objecting to his plan, and she and President Choi couldn't reach an agreement.
When President Choi faced the financial crisis of his company, he made the final choice.
The arson was an excessive choice.
That's right. When the house is gone, he has to build something. So the effect seems to be effective.
But when they demolish a house forcefully with arson,
the fire could spread out to other houses and there is high possibility of having victims as well.
So President Choi found the professional arsonist called the fireworks expert.
A professional arsonist?
Yes.
Not just someone who had multiple experiences, but someone with a unique style of arson.
In other words, a very skilled technician for arson.
While he is considering the escape route for people in the house after they notice the fire,
he still has to make sure the house can burn down before the firetrucks arrive.
That is how that person got the nickname of the fireworks expert.
But it was a failure at the defendant's house.
He said that it was an accident.
The fireworks expert visited Choi's house three times to prevent any victims.
His plan was very precise and elaborate.
When were the dates of his visits? Please tell us.
The dates were November 15, December 4
and December 25 last year.
Prosecutor
December 25. On Christmas what did the fireworks expert do at the defendant's house?
He was checking the final plan with President Choi and had a good look around the house before carrying out the arson.
And then?
Around midnight
that person saw Choi Woo Hyeok.
Can you prove that?
I can't reveal the identity of the person. But someone witnessed the encounter of the two people.
And I got the testimony from the fireworks expert about meeting Choi Woo Hyeok.
I will submit the copy of the witness statement later.
Let me summarize it. The time of Lee So Woo's death, around midnight on Christmas,
the defendant was not at the place of the accident, but at his house.
Therefore he couldn't commit the crime. That's the point of my testimony.
Judge
Choi Woo Hyeok is innocent. Innocent!
Innocent! It's innocence.
It says innocent. The witness to prove his alibi showed up.
Innocent! The official announcement from a detective.
Choi Woo Hyeok's alibi was proved.
Game over!
Jurors
Thank you.
This closed my examination.
Do you want to do cross-examination?
Then, we will have a 30-minute recess.
No.
I will do a cross-examination.
Seo Yeon?
- I am the prosecutor, Go Seo Yeon. Let me start the examination. - Okay.
You said you came in place of the fireworks expert.
Which means you are passing the testimony instead of the fireworks expert?
Yes.
The fireworks expert was the one who got paid to set the fire to the people's house.
For being such a person, isn't it possible that he could send testimony beneficial for Choi Woo Hyeok
in exchange for money from President Choi?
There is no way the fireworks expert can contact President Choi at the moment.
The fireworks expert committed a murder.
How much credibility is there in the testimony of a person like that?
- I can't answer that. - Why?
Isn't it because you don't believe that testimony either?
I don't know whether this will assist the trial or not, but can I say something else aside from standing witness?
You may.
Constitutionally, when a person has killed someone for any reason, the murder is to be determined
by whether or not the person had an intention to kill at the time of the crime.
There are two kinds of murder crimes.
First, when the accused is proved to have intended to kill the victim (premeditation),
such as planning the crime in advance, or preparing the weapon with clear deliberation.
Second.
A murder out of willful negligence.
That's right.
When I took a certain action and I knew my action
could cause the death of someone or any others who were influenced by that someone,
and my action resulted in killing someone eventually, that is a case of a murder by willful negligence.
- Do you understand what they're saying? - No, I don't.
At this moment, the prosecutor is arguing that the fireworks expert committed murder by willful negligence.
The fireworks expert is arguing that he never intended to kill anyone.
This became a hot potato for this fire accident trial,
and there is no verdict for it yet.
That is why I can't answer your question
whether the fireworks expert is a murderer or not.
Do you understand now?
That was my cross-examination.
Examination of parties?
Yes. The defense attorney requests to proceed examination of parties for the defendant.
Prosecutor, do you have an objection?
I don't.
Granted.
Defendant, please have a seat at the witness stand.
What? What is it?
Sit.
Witness
The defendant has proved his alibi with the testimony of the previous witness.
What does this mean to you?
What is what? It means I am innocent—
Please say it clearly.
I am innocent. I didn't kill Lee So Woo.
That is right. The defendant didn't kill Lee So Woo.
But why were you accused of being the murderer of Lee So Woo?
Why are you asking me something that everyone knows?
Please answer the question.
Because I've been falsely accused, in the letter of accusation.
Why do you think that you've been falsely accused?
In other words, do you know the reason why the letter of accusation was written?
Why would the person who wrote the letter have made up lies and falsely accused you?
I don't know. Ask Lee Joo Ri yourself.
I was asking your opinion, Defendant.
Have you never thought about why you may have been falsely accused?
Jurors, please remember that the defendant couldn't answer my question just now.
The defense attorney!
I'll move on to the next question.
From now on, the Defendant can only respond with yes or no.
Hey, Han Ji Hoon!
Defendant, did you rip up the boys' PE uniforms in classroom 1-5 in March of last year?
What are you trying to—
Please only respond with yes or no.
Did you rip up the boys' PE uniforms in classroom 1-5 in March of last year?
I acknowledge that you could not answer. I will give you the next question.
Defendant, last April you tripped a female student in classroom 2-2 by kicking her when she was going home after school
and threw her backpack onto the road, didn't you?
Han Ji Hoon?
Defendant, last June, after you grabbed a male student in classroom 2-9 and you scribbled on his face forcefully,
did you take pictures of him and upload them on social media?
Those have nothing to do with this trial!
Defendant, did you, last June, force a student from 1st year Class 8
to drink water from the toilet bowl, saying you would give him money?
I've never done that.
Defendant, did you, last September, throw rocks at a female student in first year Class 4
and create a wound on her face?
I've never done that!
I will continue questioning you.
Defendant, last October, did you spit on the head of a female student of classroom 2-1?
And then, when the student was resisting you
after taking her cellphone from her, did you lock her in a shower room?
Did you know that that female student was only discovered the next day by a security guard?
Nothing is better than this! I told you I will wash you.
Nicely washed!
It is all clean now!
Open the door. Help me, please.
Open the door! I said, open the door!
Open the door!
Defendant! How many times have you used violence towards students at the school?
You can just answer me approximately.
Please answer with numbers.
Including beating, kicking, tripping, crushing someone, or using any other physical violence,
and teasing with disparaging nicknames.
"Go die. I will kill you. I will beat you up. I will make you disappear from the school."
If you count something like those threats and verbal abuse as well, how many times will those be?
A hundred times? Two hundred times?
I don't know...
Three hundred times? Five hundred times?
I said I don't know, you bastard!
Is that because there are countless cases like those?
For me... It was just as jokes...
It was just playing pranks on them.
Defendant, when you were just playing pranks on them,
do you remember how they reacted to your pranks?
Do you remember their facial expressions or what they said to you?
Did they enjoy your pranks as well?
Would they have been able to laugh like you did?
Didn't they scream that it hurt or tearfully beg you to stop and resist while crying?
As you said, Defendant, you have been falsely accused
by the falsely accusing letter and by prejudice from the TV program.
Then, what's the reason for all of this?
Wasn't it the animosity towards you which drove a victim even to risk telling a lie to kick you out of the school?
You continually committed disparagements, curses, violent assaults, and verbal abuse toward other students.
Have you ever thought that you are standing here
as the result of all those misbehaviors you committed?
Stop it
Defendant, have you ever tried, just once, to understand the feelings of your victims?
Even though their dignity and self-esteem were crushed by you,
they had to watch you acting up with the shield of your family's fame and fortune.
Can you understand how miserable the victims felt?
I told you to stop, you bastard!
It is a unidimensional problem to try to determine how, why and by whom the accusation letter was written.
Anyone could sandbag the defendant with a false accusation letter at Jeongguk High School.
It could be a hostile and cruel lie,
but the accusation letter was a means of self-defense in the defense's opinion.
Examination over.
My bag!
Why are you doing this?
Stay still.
Drink it up otherwise I will kill you.
Here. Drink it. I said to drink it.
You won't drink it?
Hey! Drink it.
Drink it! I will pay you! Drink!
Three points.
I'm sorry.
I said I'm sorry.
No. No. NO!!!!
Who said you can decide that the letter of accusation was false?
I saw it, I saw it.
I saw Choi Woo Hyeok killing Lee So Woo.
Cursing at him, belittling him and pushing him from behind off the roof. I saw everything.
You have evidence. That sound.The sound which you can only hear when someone is stepping on the railing of the roof.
I heard that because I was there.
Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense., don't you think?
You heard that sound not because Lee So Woo was on it, but because you were on it.
No. No. No. I saw it!
Choi Woo Hyeok is a murderer. You can't ever EVER forgive him!
Don't buy people's sympathies in that stupid way.
You should just die. Anything like you should just die!
You can never, NEVER!

Cho Rong!
Are you okay now?
I saw the trial. I wanted to say this.
So Woo wouldn't kill himself for no reason. There must be something between him and the school.
What did Lee So Woo find out?
Please come to the trial to reveal it.
What? The 4th hearing?
The boy on that night?
Jung Pa sent it this morning.
Who is this child?
Why did that child run this way? Maybe he's not from our school?
Since this student participated three times in the trial, that's enough to expel this student.
We might get expelled from the school.
Isn't that strange that nothing has happened to you?
The trial. Are you going to continue it?
I will continue it to the end even if I have to do it only by myself.
