(Episode 27)
(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.
I must have grown attached to you past these years.
It's hard for me to say this.
Mr. Choi Kyung Ho.
I'm giving you this now.
I'm sorry about this.
(Late Choi Kyung Ho)
I should have found him not guilty 10 years ago in court.
I only wrote the ruling.
It's been in my safe for the past 10 years.
Kim Ga Young's underwear from 10 years ago.
I kept it.
Lee Jung Joo.
Look at me in the eyes.
From the start,
I knew your brother wasn't the real murderer.
10 years ago,
when you tried to destroy his case file,
I also knew...
that the record had been fabricated.
I knew,
but I rendered the wrong verdict.
No.
I misheard, right?
Please...
Please say it isn't true.
You could never.
That... That makes no sense.
Think only about...
what I did to you and what you must do to me...
from now on.
(Seoul Central District Court)
(The defendant is found not guilty. The prior conviction was in error.)
So...
you'll take the blame for everything?
That's right.
You don't need to do that.
Because...
you didn't kill Ga Young.
What are you...
It was me.
I killed her.
Mom.
- Hey. - Let go.
What did you say? I misheard, right?
- That's right, you misheard. - Let go.
I want to hear it directly from her.
Mom, say something.
Who killed Ga Young?
You?
She did not.
Yes, I killed her...
that night 10 years ago.
I choked her and killed her.
Mom.
Mom? What's wrong with you? Snap out of it.
You must be in shock because of what that man did, but...
That man put you up to this, didn't he?
That man told you to say you killed Ga Young.
That's it. Still, that's not right.
You have me.
Mom, look at your son.
Look at your son.
Mom, at times like these, you need to be mentally strong.
I told you...
there's more than meets the eye.
No way.
You're now seeing...
what you couldn't see before.
Look now.
You must see from now on.
I'm sorry.
Han Joon!
I... I'm sorry.
(Son)
What do you want to hear from me?
The person who promised to get you off on insanity.
Was it Professor Yoo Myung Hee?
Then she won't be able to keep that promise.
What do you mean?
That's why I even killed a person!
Choi Kyung Ho's murder,
Judge Lee Jung Joo's hostage situation...
The person who put you up to it all...
was Professor Yoo Myung Hee, wasn't it?
- I'm done with this visit. - Why?
From what I know,
Professor Yoo cares at great deal for Judge Lee.
Why did she make you do that?
If I tell you,
will you get me out?
Hello? Judge Lee?
Where are you?
Judge Lee.
Is she really okay?
Yes. She's unconscious temporarily due to stress.
She may go home after receiving the IV.
Judge Lee.
Are you awake?
Are you okay?
Yes, we're in a hospital.
I had a nightmare.
What was it about?
Something absolutely ridiculous.
That Professor Yoo Myung Hee...
Professor Yoo Myung Hee said...
she knew from the start that my brother wasn't the killer.
She knew, but...
It's ridiculous, isn't it?
So...
it wasn't a dream, right?
No.
It wasn't a dream.
I know it's not easy,
but you must accept the reality...
and regain your level-headedness.
Under any circumstances, we must face the reality.
If we lose our composure,
it will put everyone in an uneasy state.
I also tried to face the truth.
Every moment,
I tried not to give up because I was scared.
I thought I must uncover the truth,
but right now,
I'm so scared,
so I can't be level-headed now.
(My love, Myung Hee and my friend, Jin Myung)
Yes?
What did you say?
Okay. I'm on my way now.
I'm going to go in now.
Thank you for your help today.
Will you be okay?
Get inside, and rest.
Judge Lee.
It didn't hit me as hard as it hit you,
but I was quite shocked too.
I realized I was also subject to all those incidents and accidents...
I read in the case files.
I doubt that this can comfort you in any way now,
but you are not alone in the brutal reality...
you're facing now.
I just want you to remember that.
Hey, Han Joon.
Han Joon!
Hey! Do Han Joon!
Let me get you some water.
I don't want water.
Get me some drinks.
- Han Joon. - Eui Hyun.
Tell me.
Did you know about it?
About what?
Remember what you told me?
You told me that things are never what they seem.
I asked if you had seen things I hadn't seen.
But I think you saw them now.
Yes, I did.
Kim Ga Young's underwear.
My mom fabricated that evidence...
and also murdered Kim Ga Young.
But...
I shouldn't have known this.
So do you want to believe things only you want to see?
Eui Hyun, you also know...
how important my mom is and what my mom means to me.
If I hadn't found this out until the end...
Then what about Judge Lee?
If you hide the truth with lies just for your sake,
Judge Lee must live her life without ever knowing the truth.
Oh, yes. You're right. Jung Joo was in this mess too.
I must tell Jung Joo about this.
Not now.
She'll find out anyway. It's better to find out sooner than later.
There's something you don't know.
What... What is it this time?
The one who instigated to have Choi Kyung Ho murdered...
was Professor Yoo Myung Hee.
Isn't this...
You'd better talk.
What are you talking about? Get out of my way.
Hey, can you tell Judge Lee everything she did?
Hey.
Let go of me.
Gosh.
Drink a glass of water.
Why didn't you tell me that she hurts herself?
She wanted me...
to take this...
to the grave.
Are you all right? I think there's a wound on your neck.
I don't know where she gets her strength.
When I try to stop her,
both of us end up with wounds.
When did this start?
Now that I think back,
it must be after Choi Kyung Ho's trial.
I thought hard about what could stress her so much to harm herself.
Hey, Jung Do.
You must defend Myung Hee.
Myung Hee won't be punished regarding Kim Ga Young's underwear.
Hey.
She told me that she killed Kim Ga Young.
- What did you say? - That's why...
she couldn't stop hurting herself.
Have you gone mad?
How could Myung Hee murder someone?
I don't know what's going on either,
but since that's what Myung Hee said,
we need to be prepared.
I'm sorry. Did I wake you?
No, I couldn't sleep either, so I was tossing and turning.
What is it?
Did you hear from Han Joon?
He called earlier.
(Han Joon)
You shouldn't answer tonight.
Is something wrong?
Let's talk in the car.
Did something happen to Han Joon?
Han Joon received shocking news today as well.
What...
(Han Joon)
(Turn off phone)
Tell me.
I wanted to tell you once you've calmed down a bit.
But I thought it would be better to hear it from me than Han Joon,
who is emotional right now from the shock.
What is it about?
Kim Joo Hyung.
I went to see him.
His letter saying someone put him up to it kept bothering me.
I wanted to go see him as well.
Listen carefully to what I'm about to say.
It'll be very shocking,
but you need to know the truth.
Whereas I can clearly see the pain you'll suffer...
from knowing the truth...
I won't make you suffer alone.
I'll be by your side as your trustworthy colleague.
Who was the person...
who made him do it?
Professor Yoo Myung Hee.
Mom.
You have to live.
I'll be fine in prison,
so you have to live too.
Jung Joo. Aren't you going to court today?
Don't you have a trial?
My gosh. She's burning up.
Jung Joo. Are you okay?
Jung Joo. Wake up, Jung Joo.
The phone has been turned off. Please leave a message...
- after the tone. - She won't pick up?
Her phone is turned off.
The trial starts in 10 minutes, but we can't reach her.
How could she not show up?
Forget this.
Let's delay the first trial...
and get someone to fill in...
I'm sorry.
What are you doing? Why aren't you in your robe?
Okay.
Are you okay?
- We'll be late. - You don't look well.
I'm fine. I took some medicine.
I can't believe this.
(Korean judges are so corrupt. She's pure evil.)
Why are you out here in the cold?
People are picking me apart.
For denying the arrest warrant?
Someone said you were pure evil.
Unbelievable. How could they...
So I also posted a comment there.
"She may be a pain at times, but she isn't evil."
- What? - Let's take a walk.
There's no risk of him...
destroying evidence or fleeing.
If there are grounds for debate, we can't detain him.
What could I do?
I was also annoyed at Assemblyman Do...
because he insisted that he couldn't remember,
but I made my decision objectively by the law.
Some posted that your husband is lucky...
for having a pretty and smart judge wife.
They say he must've saved the country in his past life.
"Pretty and smart..."
Really?
Then again, not all comments are wrong.
Even if I had presided over Assemblyman Do's hearing,
I would've rendered the same decision.
So don't worry about online comments like those,
and please worry about what to cook.
You made kimchi stew for a week now.
Okay then. I have a trial to attend now.
At times like these, he is comforting.
That's right. I won't read online comments.
What's this? 200 more in that short time?
Judge Lee. Will you be okay?
Yes.
I don't think so.
Why don't you go to the infirmary first?
I agree. I'll take her.
I'm fine.
You still have a fever.
At this rate, you can't attend the afternoon trials.
I can do it.
I'll drag you there if you keep insisting.
