Why are you here?
I didn't want to come,
but other partners at the law firm were extremely worried.
You made them worried, not me.
You went around, giving them ideas.
Someone needed to step forward and save our law firm.
And the only one I could trust is...
myself.
If the prosecution is...
going out of their way to make such an absurd argument,
it means this isn't about winning or losing.
It means they will at least get you in trouble.
This is so unlike you to get yourself...
in such danger.
(You can prove your worth...)
(by showing the kind of risk you are willing to take.)
I'm about to be blamed for what I haven't done.
Can you really continue with this trial?
What did you tell me before? You said this is for Min Joo.
After three years,
I began to think that it'd be better to live than die...
No.
I thought that I definitely need to survive. I have to be alive...
to go out and get my revenge on them.
No, I'm sure that is not what Ms. Kim would've wanted.
That's why I decided to get tried again!
And now they're claiming that I forcefully drugged her.
Is this what she wants?
They're trying to scare us...
with complete nonsense because they don't feel confident.
We'll win in the end. Don't worry.
What do you think?
If he says we will win,
we will.
That is what Ms. Kim would've wanted.
No.
Not what he thinks. If you were me,
would you continue with this trial risking the rest of your life?
I bet the rest of my life on Mr. Choi.
I trust him.
Then you have to win.
If you don't,
I'm going to get you all.
Have you discussed the matters with your client, Mr. Choi?
Your Honor.
The plaintiff still wants to go ahead with the retrial.
I guess you still don't get how things are going to unfold.
Additionally, I think the court should...
sincerely take into consideration that the prosecution...
is trying to pressure the plaintiff with groundless assertions.
Do you seriously think that makes sense...
No, it doesn't make any kind of sense whatsoever.
That's what I wanted to tell you earlier.
Now that the plaintiff wishes to carry on with the retrial,
we'll proceed with the trial tomorrow.
If this is how things work around here,
I'll put on a great show for you.
So let's see who'll end up crying at the end.
If you ever meet a client without my permission again,
you'll be done for.
Okay.
And regarding Park Joon Gyu's hit-and-run accident...
The victim's family can get as much as 500,000 dollars for compensation.
Hurry up and have them settle by tomorrow.
You're the one who prosecuted that boy.
Why are you digging up that case again?
You're the one who got rid of the evidence,
not me.
All I did was catch the guy you pointed out...
as the criminal.
Do you really think I'm going to go down all by myself?
Are you threatening me right now?
Your boss is the one who threatened me...
12 years ago.
Do you know what Prosecutor Oh...
said to me when I refused to fabricate evidence?
He said it's hard to send criminals to prison by just following the law.
So he told me that I had to become more of a bad guy...
than the bad guys I had to catch.
If I refused, he told me that he'd make me...
lose everything I had.
Why don't you just threaten me like he did?
If you feel uneasy about firing me,
I can just walk out on my own.
Are you having a hard time? Do you want to quit?
I'm not having a hard time,
but it seems like you are.
Are you saying you can even read my emotions now?
- I... - I never said I'll fire you.
But I won't stop you from quitting if that's what you want.
What's up?
Are you up for a can of beer?
Just one.
If I ask them to come to a settlement,
I'll be no different than the attorney who came to see me...
after my parents passed away.
Of course, you're different.
Unlike you, he wouldn't have been in such agony.
He probably thought of it as nothing more than his job.
But you can't necessarily say that makes him a bad attorney.
It would've been nice if he was a bit more sensitive,
but he was still defending the assailant.
I guess so.
But I'm...
I know.
I know what kind of guy you are,
and I know what's important to you.
They say it's easy to know what someone values...
by looking at the kind of risks they take.
And I support you for having that kind of value in life.
But you told me that you don't ever want to ruin your job...
by being too emotional.
It seems like you're the personal tutor, not me.
I know.
I think I have a talent for helping you out.
Cheers.
They both can't speak Korean.
They've been trying to pay off their debts all their lives.
And it's only been six months since they came to Korea...
just so they could earn some money.
Thanks to the owner, we barely managed to have a funeral here.
Then can you please translate what I'm about to say to them?
Please tell them that both the assailant and I...
are very sorry and regretful about the accident.
Both him and the assailant, Park Joon Gyu,
are very sorry and regretful...
about Sung Hwa's accident and death.
I know very well that his death cannot be converted into money.
I know that you're still mourning,
and I feel miserable for having to say this to you.
Your son did nothing bad...
We are very well aware of how my brother...
ended up getting into that accident.
He wasn't always such a troublemaker.
Back when we were in China, he used to be a nice kid...
who was smart and talented in drawing.
He studied hard and managed to get into a university in Korea.
But things got harder for him after that.
Was it because of the tuition?
He got a student loan and managed to graduate,
but even Koreans have a hard time finding a job these days.
He had a harder time getting a job as a foreigner who majored in art.
Sir.
All we need is the money to pay back his student loan.
How much is that?
50,000 dollars.
(Agreement)
I'd like to offer you 500,000 dollars.
500,000 dollars?
To be more exact, I'd like you to ask for that much money.
(Agreement)
They're offering us 500,000 dollars for settlement.
Are you serious?
Sir, thank you. Thank you so much.
How's the retrial going?
Han Sun Tae and Kim Jin Gyu. The real criminal is either...
one of them or both.
Do you have evidence?
The blood stain that was on the pack of weed.
(Evidence)
You didn't even carry out a DNA test.
Plus, you don't even have a DNA sample to compare this with.
It won't be easy, but don't worry. I'll win this no matter what.
You started this, so you better win.
Even if you win, it's still a problem.
And one more thing.
About Ms. Hong.
Forgive her and move on.
It's not as easy as you think.
I know.
Because you trusted her more than anyone else.
But that's why it makes it easier.
What is it?
Listen.
You look outside your office...
and Ms. Hong is not there.
"Did she go to the bathroom?" But...
days go by, a week goes by, a month goes by,
and then a year goes by, but she still isn't there.
And one day, a new secretary will sit at her desk.
Ms. Hong is gone.
Imagine...
what your life will be like...
without Ms. Hong.
Are you looking for me?
What?
Well, no, I just...
Did you go somewhere?
No. I was right behind you.
Were you?
I'm going to a trial later.
I know.
You're wearing that watch.
I never go to a trial without doing that.
You mean...
the thing we always do...
before you go to a trial.
Yes.
But that thing,
don't you think that's too much...
since we're trying to decide...
whether you should fire me or I should quit?
Are you sure about that?
Please keep your place.
Are you apologizing to me right now?
Yes.
What are you apologizing for?
Well...
That's enough.
Fine. Let's do it fast.
Good.
Shall we do it here or inside?
- Let's just do it here. - Okay.
All right. On the count of three.
- 1, 2... - No.
Let's do it inside.
- Right? - Yes.
We better go inside and do it.
Let's go, quickly.
Is it on three or right after I say...
Right on three,
- like we always do. - On three?
Do you think that's better?
Didn't we usually count 1, 2, 3,
then do it after?
(Seoul High Court)
They proposed 500,000 dollars?
Yes.
You gave them the amount you wanted to.
What's with that look?
Nothing. Let's go in.
Why are you doing this now?
What do you think?
I'm trying to save someone who's been serving in jail...
for someone else's crime.
Someone else's crime?
Who?
Why are you asking me that?
I'm sure you know better.
What do you mean?
You were pretty good actors 12 years ago.
But now, it's time to tell the truth.
I told you about them.
They're Han Sun Tae and Kim Jin Gyu.
First, you told the police that you didn't even go...
near Kim Min Joo’s house, but later...
in the trial you said...
you saw Seok Hyeon come out of her house.
Am I right? It's nice to meet you.
I heard you made a lot of mistakes when you were a prosecutor.
"If you realized you made mistakes,"
"lay low quietly..."
"if you don't want to lose everything."
That's what my dad wants me to tell you.
The law is so reliable, isn't it?
We'll go by the law.
Good luck.
Two things are for certain.
A conviction that they're the real culprits.
And that whatever evidence we present them,
they won't confess.
They already committed murder...
and framed Seok Hyeon 12 years ago.
Of course they won't confess.
They were young and there was no evidence then.
Most importantly, murder and perjury are different.
And murder is a worse crime of course.
No, it's a much easier crime to commit.
Pardon?
Because nobody is watching.
Han Sun Tae.
You heard the murder victim Kim Min Joo...
mention the accused.
Yes.
She said she had met him at a club a few times,
and dated him for about a month.
Then why, 12 years ago,
did you say that they weren't dating?
If people found out that...
Min Joo was fooled by a drug dealer from the back alley of a club,
I thought it'd be a huge insult to her.
I'll take the penalty for committing perjury.
All right.
What do you mean by "fooled"?
He said he was a student of an elite university,
and wanted to go study abroad with her.
But that was all a lie.
I never said that.
You're the one who's lying!
Defendant, please calm down.
If you raise your voice again, I'll limit your plea.
Please calm down. You can't react emotionally.
That jerk.
Proceed, please.
Min Joo wanted to break up with him.
But he wouldn't accept it.
She was scared because he stalked her.
Actually, I went there...
to check up on Min Joo that day.
That's all.
You said they broke up.
But on the letter, the new evidence we found...
She wrote that letter 15 days before she was killed.
They broke up a week before she died.
You have a good memory.
Fine.
Then let's talk about stalking.
Did you hear how the defendant stalked her?
Well,
he called her often...
and came to her house too.
He called her?
In the original trial, no evidence was found...
to prove that Jang Seok Hyeon and Kim Min Joo were dating.
You say he stalked her.
But there wasn't any record of phone calls.
Did he not stalk her in the first place...
or did someone get rid of the call records?
Objection.
Yes. I was just curious.
All right then, let me ask a different question.
Seven years ago, you have been arrested...
for smoking marijuana, haven't you?
That has nothing to do with this case.
Why do you say that?
Defendant was placed on the list of suspects 12 years ago...
because of his drug dealing record.
Witness. Answer the question.
- Yes. - Then 12 years ago,
- did you smoke marijuana? - No.
Then you must not have smoked on the day of the murder either.
Pardon?
- No. - On the day of the murder,
you saw Jang Seok Hyeon covered in blood in a hallway.
You said you didn't go inside the house.
So blood found inside the house...
would never match your DNA.
Is that correct?
- That's correct. - Then...
would you volunteer to give a DNA test?
Objection.
Defense attorney.
Sergeant Park Soon Ho.
You were the detective in charge at that time.
Yes.
And you were the prosecutor in charge.
On the police report,
it was written that blood of someone who wasn't...
the defendant or the victim was found.
Why didn't you compare that to other testifiers'...
and suspects' DNA?
Like it's written on the report,
there were no other suspects.
Also, there was enough evidence including the murder weapon...
to prove that the defendant was guilty.
Enough evidence?
What do you mean enough? A man's life depended on it.
It was enough for the prosecutor to ask for a sentence of 15 years...
and didn't look at the case again for 12 years.
I present the marijuana bag found at the crime scene...
as evidence.
A DNA test should be conducted...
Not acceptable, Your Honor.
Both sides, come closer.
What are your grounds...
for rejecting to acknowledge DNA analysis as evidence?
Defense attorney, I will ask the questions.
What is it?
As you know, the original trial is filled with defiled evidence...
starting from the investigation to the indictment of the suspect.
The DNA analysis of the bloodstain...
could have been fabricated...
or defiled.
You said the letter was omitted, not destroyed.
The DNA analysis is also not fabricated, but...
Court adjourned momentarily.
I will see both of you outside.
Court adjourned.
Back during the original trial,
you made a mistake as the prosecutor in charge...
with defiled evidence. That is why you got this retrial.
So do you think it makes any sense to choose the same evidence...
that could've well been defiled?
And we don't have any DNAs to compare it with.
We just need to compare them with Han Sun Tae and Kim Jin Gyu.
What are your allegations for turning witnesses into suspects?
Forget it.
The DNA found on the bloodstain will not be used as evidence.
I believe your daughter got into college this year.
Is this a threat?
Or do you want to give me some money to use as her tuition?
I'm asking if you do not feel ashamed in front of her.
I know very well that you were an honorable detective.
However, if we made a mistake, we must correct it.
You must admit to your mistake for your services to shine.
I might lose everything that I ever worked for.
There won't be anything left to shine.
Of course, it will damage your career,
and you might be questioned.
But at the very least,
you won't feel ashamed to face your daughter.
We can't do this legally anymore. We'll have to take a detour.
I'm guessing it wasn't acknowledged as evidence.
We have to prove the DNA was Han Sun Tae's on our own.
I thought we couldn't use the analysis as evidence.
If the court won't acknowledge it,
we'll pressure the prosecution with evidence that Han is the murderer.
But we still need to get his DNA to compare the two.
If you wish to catch a bad guy,
you have to become a worse one.
- Follow me. - Where are we going?
To do something bad.
Don't worry about it.
My dad said this is nothing.
Yes.
That's true.
Anyway, why did you want to see me?
What do you mean?
You texted me and told me to come here, not me.
What?
Darn it.
Leaving so soon?
It probably has been a while since you've met.
You should catch up a little.
You two can reminisce on your bloody past too.
Yes. Not only did you brutally murder Kim Min Joo,
who was once your friend,
but you also blamed the innocent Jang Seok Hyeon...
with what you two have done.
If it was a movie, it'd be a sequel to "Memories of Murder"...
and "A History of Violence".
We really didn't do anything.
You'll be badly hurt if you keep doing this.
Hurt? Who? Me?
I don't know.
I think there's a higher possibility that either one of you will be hurt.
A truly loyal friendship isn't...
protecting and guarding one another.
It's truly loyal to correct your friend's mistakes.
But I can already tell that both of them aren't very loyal.
I guess the movie "A Season of Betrayal" will premiere soon.
Mr. Choi, are you...
I told you that we came to do something bad.
But what's worse is the next step.
Good morning, Mr. Chae.
Hey, Ms. Hong. Good morning.
You never came here over the last eight years...
To say good morning. Yes, you're correct.
Then why are you here?
I have a favor to ask of you.
To be exact, it's a favor from Mr. Choi.
Precisely. That is your intelligent intuition...
and experienced insight speaking.
And my intuition and insight says...
that you're here to ask me to do something awful and terrible to me.
You have a cousin who works at a DNA testing center, right?
- I need their help today. - No.
- Actually, this is... - Actually,
I already know what this is for. So absolutely no.
What do you want?
Nothing.
One week. I'll be your secretary...
instead of Ms. Park.
Really?
Oh, no. I'm fine. I'm not going to help.
Did you really hear me? It's me.
Goodness, am I at the wrong office?
You know, I can't help you with something that will damage...
the reputation I worked so hard to build up...
Wait. Are those for...
We can burn our passion for arts with this performance.
No.
After we watch the ballet, we'll go to an exquisite bar...
and have some caviar with a glass of vodka.
No, I'm fine. It's really okay.
No.
Really?
- Okay, then. - It's because...
No, I got it.
No, you don't. This is...
- I got it. Let go. - What?
You're holding onto my hand. Let go. This is...
Ms. Kang is looking for you.
Ms. Kang...
Call your cousin immediately.
It's not that simple.
It is.
To resolve a problem,
sometimes we must break the rules...
and cross over the lines.
But the problem is...
this is for Mr. Choi, not for me.
No, you're wrong. This is for me.
Is that so?
If you want this that badly,
why don't you break your rule for once?
What rule?
You have a rule to never give me a chance.
The same opportunity you gave that trainee who just started here.
That trainee who just started here found that number...
when you, an expert in numbers, did not notice that.
Is that so?
That's why you told me to go do my job...
instead of going around doing meaningless stuff.
To me, it sounded like "You will never get a promotion,"
"and the rest of your career will be the rock bottom of the company,"
"then you will end up quitting because you can't stand it."
What are you trying to say?
I'm asking you to take notice of my worth and my sincerity.
In this place,
in this law firm of yours,
the one who has the utmost respect and loyalty to you...
isn't Choi Kang Seok. It's me.
Chae Geun Sik.
Kang Seok's time is almost up.
And I, Geun Sik, is the only one person...
who can continue to do his job.
This means that you are threatening me...
with Kang Seok as a hostage.
Fine. What are you trying to get out of this?
I want to be promoted as a senior partner.
Effective immediately!
I guess you gave this a thought and came prepared.
But you're completely off.
I'm the one who can threaten you, not you to me.
If you don't want to get promoted as a senior partner for life...
and wish to be stuck at the rock bottom forever,
call your cousin.
And I want you to do it right now.
Okay.
Hey, it's me.
(Agreement)
(Park Joon Gyu)
A guy ended up dying because of me,
but all I'm getting is a suspended sentence.
I'm a really bad guy.
Someone who did nothing wrong ended up dying because of me.
Yes.
Just keep that in mind and always be regretful for what happened.
The victim's family doesn't blame you.
It was a mistake and an accident.
So you just need to live your life diligently from now on.
Diligently?
I couldn't even do that before all this happened.
You see,
I can't even stand up properly without taking my medicine.
And I can't even sleep without them either.
Medicine? What medicine?
I'm talking about medicines for depression.
Stuff like zolpidem, diazepam, and amphetamine.
Amphetamine?
Did you take any of those drugs on the day of the accident?
No.
I had my 20th birthday party that day.
Why would I take drugs for depression?
But I did take ketamine.
- What? - Ketamine.
I took a small dosage.
But I had no trouble driving.
How...
How could you hide that?
You didn't even ask.
I didn't hide anything.
But I asked if you were tipsy.
But you were asking about alcohol.
And it's true that I can't drink.
So are you telling me that you were high on drugs,
just not drunk on alcohol?
But it's true.
Plus, Mr. Choi told me to keep my mouth shut.
And it's not like you asked me about it either.
I never even thought of that as an option.
Exactly. It doesn't even affect me that much.
See? You can't even tell right now.
Even when I'm high on drugs,
nobody can tell including my mom and dad.
What's wrong? I thought everything was settled.
I thought you settled everything.
Yes, I did a filthy thing...
No, wait.
It's not over yet.
The case is over, so don't do anything.
We never asked anything.
And we weren't aware of it.
But Joon Gyu told me everything, and I heard him very clearly.
That's a private conversation you had with a client,
and you're obligated to keep your client's secret.
So are you telling me to drop it without doing anything?
It's over now.
If you're not happy, I'll send the agreement to Prosecutor Kim.
We found out that something was wrong, so I can't just...
The victim's family wanted 50,000 dollars,
but I heard you told them to ask for 500,000 dollars.
Mr. Choi, that's...
You acknowledged their loss and gave them more than what they asked for.
What good will come out of taking the risk...
of telling them what happened?
Nothing.
Nothing but the fact that I tried to do my best to set things right.
It's my case.
I started it, so I'll end it myself.
What did your text exactly mean?
Are you saying you failed to settle?
I came to a settlement with the victim's family.
Then what's the problem?
I just want to help both of us reach our goals.
I'll do my best to help you get a job at Kang and Ham.
What do you want in exchange?
I just want the truth to be revealed.
Park Joon Gyu was high on ketamine on the day of the accident.
How did you find out?
You know I can't tell you.
So?
You just need to do your job.
(Judge)
[VIU Ver] KBS2 E10 Suits "Risks" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
The assailant...
hit the victim with his car,
but he fled the scene without helping the victim...
which led to the death of an innocent man.
Therefore, it's only right for the defendant to be heavily punished.
However,
he managed to come to a settlement with the victim's family,
and this was his first criminal offense.
He acknowledges his crime,
and he's sincerely regretful of what happened.
Also, the victim played a part in the happening of the accident.
With all those factors taken into consideration,
this is the sentence I've ruled for the defendant.
The defendant will be sentenced to one year in prison.
However, he will also be sentenced with two years of probation.
He'll be doing 40 hours of volunteer work...
and taking 80 hours of driving classes.
Are you seriously going to end it like this?
Of course.
The court already ruled his sentence. It's over now.
You're supposed to help me get a job at Kang and Ham.
I can't let someone like that break the confidentiality agreement...
with his client when that's the most basic thing an attorney has to do.
You know there's something wrong with today's indictment,
but are you saying you're okay with that?
I'm not saying I'm okay.
I'm just saying there's no way to prove it.
You could just ask Joon Gyu.
Are you sure you're an attorney?
If I do things your way,
you could get both yourself and Mr. Choi in trouble.
I thought you were going to help me.
But you're just telling me to end both our careers.
Aren't you ashamed of yourself?
If you're so conscientious and honest,
why are you trying to backstab...
your own client who only just turned 20?
I guess Mr. Choi already called you beforehand.
What did he say? Did he offer you a job at Kang and Ham?
No.
Gwak Sung Hwa's partially responsible,
but Park Joon Gyu is the one who caused the accident.
And he was high on drugs.
If you don't tell the truth to the victim's family...
Then what? Does it hurt your conscience...
to defend someone who broke the law?
But keep in mind that breaking...
the client confidentiality agreement is also breaking the law.
Which of the two do you think is a lighter crime?
Do you think I'm being harsh? Do you think I should be ashamed?
But you should think carefully about who it is...
that should really be ashamed right now.
Are you going to hire Prosecutor Kim?
I told her that I'd think about hiring her after the ruling.
It was my case.
Your case?
Then you shouldn't have made me go this far.
So you're admitting that you made a deal behind my back.
Think whatever you want.
But let me tell you one more time because it seems like...
you're having a hard time getting this with that smart brain of yours.
If I bribed someone or made an illegal deal,
just know that I didn't do it for Prosecutor Kim or Park Joon Gyu.
I did it to protect you.
A reinvestigation on Park Joon Gyu...
would mean you broke the confidentiality agreement.
And that will lead his mother to sue you.
Then what do you think will happen?
Our firm, the cops, and prosecution will start investigating you.
- And what do you think will happen? - That's not important.
From what I remember,
the only thing that was important was to set things right.
Is that so?
Then why don't you just quit since there's a risk...
of your identity getting revealed?
Or should I just fire you myself?
So that I won't become your weakness?
No, but if this is how you're going to act,
you were my weakness the moment you stepped into this firm.
Then why did you choose me?
That's enough.
Just answer this question.
Did your life become better...
or worse compared to the life you had before I chose you?
- Both. - Then from this moment on,
just think about the positive sides...
and focus only on that.
Because if I ever have to cross the line again to protect you,
I'll fire you without even hesitating.
(Use Justice for Human Rights, Yoon Sang Gyun, Attorney's Office)
How may I help you?
This watch...
No.
I was drunk and I was driving last night...
I think...
I think I hit a couple with my car.
My watch stopped working since the accident.
Did you make a report?
No. I was so scared, I just ran away.
They couple must be dead already.
What should I do?
I can't take this case.
Why not? I can pay you as much as you want.
Money isn't the problem. It's a matter of conscience.
It's not a matter of conscience. It's about settlement.
That's strange. I thought you were a settlement expert.
- Do you know me? - I do.
I remember your shiny shoes, your voice,
and everything about you from 10 years ago.
October 23, 2001.
Go Hae In. Jang Hye Won.
They are my parents who were killed in a hit-and-run.
I'm sorry, but I don't remember.
You don't remember?
You came to me and my grandma before we even had the funeral.
You said, "The dead are already dead. The living has to go on."
You even threatened us that we wouldn't get any money...
if we didn't settle right there and then.
Do you really not remember?
I mean, I understand what you're saying.
But that sort of thing happened too many times. I don't remember.
Do you know what this is?
I never forget what I see and understand.
But just in case...
I forget because of old age...
or in case I hurt my head,
I did this so I would never forget that day.
So?
What do you want from me?
What do I want?
You haven't regretted anything in your life, have you?
Regret?
I can apologize to you again and again if you want.
But I have no regrets.
I just did my job.
It was just a job.
All right.
It doesn't matter...
what kind of watch or shoes you wear.
You're different from me from the beginning.
One more thing.
You better remember Go Hae In, Jang Hye Won,
and the names of all those clients...
you don't remember.
No, you must remember.
If you don't, I'll show you what regret is.
Isn't it over now?
Yes, it's over now.
- Thank you, Attorney Go. - A person died.
Thank you for what?
I feel miserable too.
I have to live with it for the rest of my life.
Of course.
You should be locked up in that horrible memory...
and live in regret all your life.
Why? Because you didn't pay a just price for your crime.
What? Why are you doing this to me now?
Find out why yourself.
You can either keep the freedom and live in guilt...
or you can right the wrong.
Your worth depends on...
the kinds of risks you take.
This is the DNA result.
DNA from the blood found on the marijuana bag...
- and Han Sun Tae's... - You attained...
the witness' DNA illegally.
It can't even be accepted as evidence.
What do you want me to do?
I'll release Jang Seok Hyeon...
who had to serve 12 years in prison for the crime he didn't commit.
I'm telling you to put the actual murderer Han Sun Tae in jail,
who has been living freely for the past 12 years.
Isn't that what a prosecutor should do?
That's right.
If Han Sun Tae is the real offender like you say,
that means the prosecutor didn't do his job right...
and put an innocent man in jail 12 years ago.
In other words, you threw...
your past misdeed at me,
and you're raising your voice.
I admit I made a mistake, so...
So, whether you admit your mistake or not,
unless the actual murderer shows up and turns himself in...
or a new witness who will say,
"I saw him murder her,"
Witness Han Sun Tae can't be a suspect.
Also, this piece paper doesn't mean anything.
I thought you were a just person.
I'm disappointed.
What's important isn't what you think of me,
but what the Prosecutors' Office thinks of you.
I warned you. It was a mistake to draw your sword.
In the end, the blade will...
point to your neck.
I decided that I wouldn't think about anything...
until I become a real lawyer.
Anyway, I guess Prosecutor Heo didn't even blink an eye...
after seeing the DNA result.
Yes, Sergeant Park. Did you see the DNA result?
Yes. It's Han Sun Tae.
The old way?
I'll do that. There isn't any other way.
Yes.
The old way?
Greed takes the most space in a person's heart.
What do you think is the heaviest then?
Fear?
Good. Fear leads to suspicion.
Suspicion leads to betrayal.
Who sent...
That's not important.
Sun Tae. It's not that...
The detective came to my house...
He told you that only my DNA was found.
And you said you were relieved.
It's been 12 years.
You probably forgot what kind of a person I am.
If you try to do anything funny,
next time I'll shatter your head, not a bottle.
Got it?
How did you know I was here?
Sun Tae found out you and I met.
He wouldn't have left you alone.
Then...
But you're in one piece. I didn't expect that.
Just because he didn't do anything today,
that doesn't mean he'd keep leaving him alone.
Committing a crime is...
only difficult the first time. It can get easier the second time.
And if it's Han Sun Tae...
Pardon?
I can't follow him around all day.
In the end...
In the end,
what? In the end, he'll kill me?
No. He's capable of doing worse.
You know that very well.
Han Sun Tae is an expert at putting his blame on others.
I told you.
Once "Memories of Murder" and "A History of Violence" ends,
a movie called "A Season of Betrayal" is premiered.
Then...
Then what do you want me to do?
Tell us honestly about what has happened,
and plead for mercy.
But I didn't kill her.
Yes. I know that Han Sun Tae killed her,
and you just abetted the murder.
If you turn yourself in,
you can get under five years for abetting murder.
Five years?
I can't.
How can I be there for five years? I couldn't stand a day in there.
There's a man who lived 12 years in prison, the same place...
where you said you couldn't stand a day.
And he was sentenced for what you two have done.
Stop thinking about Han Sun Tae's threat.
Think about what the most important thing is...
in the rest of your life.
Yes.
Sun Tae...
killed Min Joo...
in front of me.
What is this?
Darn it.
Min Joo.
Did Han Sun Tae kill Ms. Kim...
out of jealousy?
No.
He said they are in two different leagues.
That they can't date each other.
He said it's absurd.
He said it just angered him.
All right, now.
There are guys that are born bad, guys that are just bad,
people who turned bad because of their good or bad family.
There are just one too many bad guys in this world.
I'm sure we're somewhere in there.
No.
I don't know about you, but not me.
I have a question.
If Han Sun Tae wanted you to take his case, would you?
Nonsense. There's a conflict of interest.
What if there wasn't?
Why not?
As long as he is willing to pay me a lot.
Why? Are you disappointed?
I thought of this one American lawyer.
Who?
Are you talking about David?
Like I said, I'm different from him.
How are you different?
My mind is different.
We take completely different risks, and we take them...
for completely different reasons.
Just as how you are different from that lawyer you talk about.
(Correction Center)
(Western District Prison)
Do you still want to...
kill me?
Don't worry. You won.
I haven't...
thought about this next part.
Thank you.
What is this?
Is this how you apologize for stopping me from that retrial?
No.
It's my way of asking you to forget about your past...
and come back as the ace of our law firm.
I don't know.
No matter where I was or what I did,
I always recall being the very best.
Hello, this is Kim Moon Hee.
I think it's time that you carried out my request.
When should I begin?
Mom. No. Mom.
Goodness.
Mom, I'm so sorry. Please wake up.
Mom.
She just passed.
Send out an obituary notice...
and prepare the cremation rite.
Mom, no.
Mom, I'm so sorry.
It looks like...
It looks like Mr. Ham is coming back.
Mr. Choi.
Are you okay with me exposing Mr. Go's identity?
(Suits "Korea")
It's the first case I take alone.
You're way ahead of yourself.
I'll show you how you threaten people.
Why did you jump into such a rash lawsuit?
Is it because of money?
Mr. Ham will come back.
He can't. I'm going to stop him.
Welcome to Kang and Ham.
Why did you make such a dangerous decision?
Mr. Choi, this is bad.
It wasn't an advice. It was a threat.
It wasn't a threat. It was a settlement.
It's a decision to share each other's weaknesses.
