(Episode 26)
(Seoul Central District Court, Defendant Choi Kyung Ho)
(The defendant is sentenced to 20 years in prison.)
Hey... Hey.
Are... Are you all right?
Hey.
Are you okay?
Hey... Are you...
(From your son, Eui Hyun)
I believe the judge's robe...
should be heavy to the judge every minute it is worn.
As heavy as the robe is,
the judge's verdict deserves to be respected.
I hope you will not suffer from deep remorse any longer.
From your son, Eui Hyun.
Where are you going?
Nowhere.
You do that at home too, right?
I didn't see anything.
I just went as well.
So...
Would you like a piece of gum?
Thank you.
Judge Lee. Judge Sah. Are you both working late too?
- Yes. - Yes.
I needed to talk to you anyway.
Here.
Kim Joo Hyung sent it to the court after his sentencing.
(Dear Honorable Judge,)
(I'll tell you who hired me.)
The hostage situation and my brother's murder...
was all done by someone's orders?
I don't know why he sent this...
to the judges after his sentence has been decided,
but I thought I should let you know that he changed his attitude...
after demanding a private cell.
He may have changed his attitude...
because something fell through with the one who hired him.
If we let him out on grounds of insanity,
he'll tell us who hired him?
Hello?
Did I wake you?
Hi, Mom. Where are you?
I left first because I had something to do.
(To: Yoo Myung Hee, From: Kim Joo Hyung)
I left the car, so you can drive that here.
Okay.
- Are you okay? - Are you okay?
Thank you for not asking me about anything last night.
No matter what you see from now on,
don't let it break you.
If I say...
I know how difficult it was for you,
you'll want to kill me, right?
I don't know...
how you felt by holding onto that,
but it's all my fault. I'll take responsibility.
It's my fault...
you ended up this way.
I'll pay for my sins,
so you stay out of it.
I'm late. I need to go.
Myung Hee.
Listen to me.
I will question the accused,
Do Jin Myung, in order to determine whether or not...
to issue an arrest warrant.
You have the right to refuse to testify.
Not only...
did you rape Kim Ga Young...
10 years ago by Gwangdeok Reservoir,
but you hired Kim Ik Chul to murder Seo Gi Ho...
who found out about it.
Since there is a risk of evidence tampering...
and you are a flight risk,
regarding the case, and thus, an arrest warrant was requested.
Do you admit to your crimes?
I apologize, but I really...
do not remember a thing.
Why do you not remember?
At the time, I was very drunk.
When I drink too much,
I tend to forget about things that happen while I'm drunk.
Do Jin Myung.
Do you think you're at some government hearing?
How could you not remember only the detrimental things?
I do not remember,
but I am the origin of all that happened,
so I will take on the full blame.
Did you instruct Kim Ik Chul...
to kill Seo Gi Ho?
I did not.
I simply told him to warn him not to say stupid things.
That was all I said.
Kim Ik Chul said he killed the victim because you told him to.
Are you saying he committed perjury?
The unfortunate event occurred...
due to what I said,
so that is also...
my fault.
You say it's your fault,
but you try to weasel out of it by saying you don't remember.
Don't tell me...
you believe you can get out of this, do you?
Counsel. Please submit your statement.
Yes, Your Honor.
I'm Sah Jung Do.
Your Honor,
this man here...
is bowing his head and apologizing to the young student...
and Seo Gi Ho, who died untimely deaths.
However, Do Jin Myung...
is not evil enough to order someone...
to kill a person.
Moreover,
whereas he is a strong candidate for President,
he's willing to take the blame for all of these events,
withdraw from the election,
apologize to the people,
and accept any punishment.
That is why he is here.
Your Honor.
Please be understanding...
of the accused,
who has lost everything.
That is all.
(Court Management System)
Thank goodness we didn't get stuck with this trial.
Poor Chief Moon. What a headache.
(Arrest Warrant Request, Denied)
(Judge Moon Yoo Sun)
The request for an arrest warrant...
for Assemblyman Do Jin Myung, accused of murder,
has been denied.
Assemblyman Do...
I misjudged Chief Moon.
She's a total hypocrite.
He has been pointed out as the prime suspect.
She denied Do Jin Myung's arrest warrant.
He tried to fool the people and become President.
Why wouldn't she detain him?
She should imprison him right away!
The purpose of detaining isn't to punish suspects,
but to investigate the case smoothly.
If they are less likely to flee or destroy evidence, they won't be.
Why wouldn't judges detain him? They must imprison people like him,
so people won't say judges aren't lenient...
toward people with money or connections.
Chief Moon isn't like that. You know it too, Mom.
The ruling she made for your friend...
This is why you cannot fully know someone.
After getting the hearing dismissed, he headed home.
- However... - See that? I knew it.
We ought to group people like him and put them in prison.
Did you want to see me, sir?
Yes, take a seat.
You arm yourself with the principles of the law and courage.
I'd like to get your opinion.
Did Judge Jung tell you...
about the letter Kim Joo Hyung sent to our panel?
Yes, he told me just now.
What do you think about his claim that someone instigated him?
If I were to share my personal opinion,
I don't think you should dismiss it as a groundless claim.
If what Kim Joo Hyung wrote is true,
it'd be better if the person behind the instigation...
would be revealed during Choi Kyung Ho's retrial.
Trials are different from investigations.
Besides, Jin Myung...
No, I mean, Assemblyman Do is as sly as a snake.
I have complete faith in you...
that your experience will shine in Choi Kyung Ho's retrial.
I won't join you for lunch today.
This is the boxed meal Prosecutor Do and I used to have often.
It's good. From Sah Eui Hyun.
Let's go for lunch now.
Where's Judge Sah?
I think he has another appointment.
Is that so? It's just you and me then.
Chief Oh,
I also have an appointment.
Is that so? Okay then.
Then I can eat with Chief Choi.
Let's have lunch.
I heard you and Judge Sah used to have this boxed meal often.
Eat it with me too.
This is good.
Aren't you going to eat?
Eat up.
This isn't an easy task indeed.
You took care of me.
I should've been more grateful.
I took it for granted.
Okay.
Let's eat.
I feel better since I see you...
eating some food now.
Won't you eat the side dishes?
- Here. You like egg rolls, right? - No...
I can eat it myself.
You should eat too.
Prosecutor Do.
I just thought you should know.
The public opinion strongly argues that Assemblyman Do...
must be investigated thoroughly.
Right. He must be.
Hey, Eui Hyun.
Hi. I came to visit you, but you're not in your office.
I'm in the restroom.
I'll be there shortly. Drink some of the coffee I brewed.
Okay.
(Sender, Kim Joo Hyung)
(From Dongseong Prison, Sender: Kim Joo Hyung)
(Recipient: Yoo Myung Hee)
I'll pour you some coffee. Take a seat.
Okay.
This contains my records...
that I can disclose from my sessions with Kim Joo Hyung.
I'll return it to you after I go through it thoroughly.
No, you don't have to.
According to my sessions, I think that...
he did make his moves...
after someone instigated him to do so.
If you are that certain,
you must've tried to get to the bottom of the matter.
Yes?
Yes, I will be on my way now.
Eui Hyun.
What brings you here?
Well, I came here to visit Professor Yoo Myung Hee.
I guess you heard it too.
She handed in her resignation letter.
What?
You didn't know?
Professor Yoo handed in her resignation letter?
Okay.
Only a little while ago, Assemblyman Do, the most promising candidate...
for the presidency, withdrew from the race.
The reason behind his resignation is remarked...
that it is connected to the rape and murder case of a middle schooler...
- at Gwangdeok Reservoir... - I apologize for the scandal.
- 10 years ago. - I'd like to sincerely...
- He apologized to the public. - apologize for my actions.
However, regarding the accusation of raping and murdering the minor,
he has been denying the fact that he committed those crimes.
But the prosecution announced a plan to investigate the case thoroughly.
It seems the details of the incident are beginning to take its form.
The focus is on the next trial the assemblyman...
- will attend. - Assemblyman Do!
- Give us a comment! - Please answer our questions!
- Assemblyman Do! - What is your statement?
Hello.
Professor Yoo.
Hello. It's cold outside, isn't it?
I heard you are resigning from your position.
Yes, I think I need to rest now.
Oh, right.
You need to come with me.
You are the almighty judge who turned me into a murderer.
What brings you to this humble place?
I'm not here as a judge today,
but as an acquaintance of Choi Kyung Ho.
(Late Choi Kyung Ho)
Jung Joo.
Don't you have a question for me?
If there's anything...
you'd like to say in front of your brother, say it.
If you can't, I will do it.
You sent a letter.
If you knew the address of Professor Yoo Myung Hee,
she and you must have been quite close, right?
We were close. Very close.
True. Even when you were in middle school,
you met with Professor Yoo Myung Hee.
As a victim of sexual assault...
who was receiving therapy.
You know that well.
That's why I trusted her like she was my own mother.
But this woman won't keep her promise.
Why am I in jail for life?
Did she say you'd get off for insanity?
Kim Joo Hyung.
Then good luck with your trial today.
I'll see you again.
Mr. Judge.
You're pretty good.
But did you think I'd fall for it?
If you won't fall for it,
how could you be insane?
What do you want to hear from me?
Sit down.
Pour me a glass too.
What are you waiting for? I asked for a drink.
But... Honey.
You said you wouldn't drink with me.
So...
you'll take the blame for everything?
That's right.
You don't need to do that.
I knew your brother wasn't the killer.
I knew,
but I rendered the wrong verdict.
Judge Lee.
Because...
you didn't kill Ga Young.
What are you...
(My Love, Myung Hee)
Jin Myung.
Do Jin Myung.
(My Love Myung Hee)
Please help me.
Please... Please help me.
Please help me.
(Nothing to Lose)
I had a nightmare.
Think only about what you must do to me going forward.
It was Professor Yoo Myung Hee.
What did you say? I misheard, right?
You're now seeing, what you couldn't see back then.
I'm sorry.
I'm scared, so I can't be objective.
It won't be easy, but accept the truth, and be objective.
Don't tell me you knew about this.
If you hide the truth with lies,
Judge Lee must live her life without ever knowing the truth.
So this really isn't a dream?
