= Episode 13 =
The Lius have already spread the word,
so now, no company in this field wants to hire her.
A top student from a top university,
she's got the smarts and talent to earn big money.
Now she can only wait tables here.
You're telling me this
to make me feel guilty?
I'm trying to tell you,
we're not going to settle
and I need to look out for my client.
I'm not here to discuss a settlement.
I'm only representing myself right now
to discuss cooperation.
Cooperation?
I want the same thing as you.
Let's take Deng Fanyu down.
I'm already in a position to win.
I don't need to work with you.
If that's what you really thought,
you wouldn't be here.
You don't have a full hand,
and you're uncertain.
That's why you agreed to come.
The way you're speaking tells me
you have no plan.
Ridiculous.
You think Sun Xiaohua's situation will win sympathy,
and that it'll carry you through this case?
Do you think you can win
without hard evidence?
So,
Miss Gu,
I advise you to think about it carefully.
Swallow your pride.
Alright.
You've convinced me that you're sincere.
How will this work?
Here's what I'm thinking.
Remember to send it.
You saw Xingran meet the defendant's lawyer in private?
They're not working together, are they?
Xingran left this morning
to deal with this case.
Which means she takes this seriously.
Perhaps... she was just doing personal research.
It makes sense.
Don't you feel you've changed?
You never let your feelings get in the way.
Business was always business.
But now, you're speaking up for Lin Xingran
in order to protect her.
You always told me
to take care of your team,
and trust them.
No matter who it is,
that's what I do.
You!
I'm meeting Deng Fanyu again today,
so I'll be late getting home.
This is evidence they've collected.
It's all just suggestive messages
you sent to Miss Sun.
What does it matter?
Will this make me
guilty of sexual harassment?
I saw there's also security footage
on their inventory of evidence.
Security footage?
What kind of footage?
We've already secured all the footage.
How could she have gotten that?
What if it's not from your company?
What do you mean?
Is your company the only place
you've harassed her?
Was there anywhere else?
Maybe someplace like a...
karaoke bar?
Or maybe an elevator?
Maybe a swimming pool?
Outdoors?
The roof?
A dressing room?
If they really have footage,
then I'm done for.
Don't worry too much.
I'll do all I can so that we can win this case.
But...
But what?
Don't tell me you're thinking of walking away.
No.
Listen, someone told me
you're working with the opposition's lawyer.
You're not even on my side!
Mr. Deng.
You are...?
It doesn't matter.
I mean no harm.
Listen to this.
How can I lose the case
without making it obvious?
Deng Fanyu, that jerk,
will be punished.
While Cheng Tian should be able to
take over the legal affairs of his company.
How did you get this?
It doesn't matter.
What matters is
Lin Xingran betrayed you.
She's such a two-faced bitch.
I knew I couldn't trust her.
I'll get her for this.
From now on,
be careful with everything she says.
But, don't worry.
I'll keep you in the loop.
Why should I trust you?
Why are you helping me?
Because...
we share a common goal.
I also have a bone to pick
with Lin Xingran.
What are you talking about?!
If I lose this case,
how does that benefit me?
Think about it.
Please sit.
I think there's someone
trying to turn us against each other.
Whoever gave that to you
is probably working for the opposition,
hoping to confuse you.
To be honest,
this case here
is not a guaranteed win for us.
Because you're still holding back from me.
If I can't fully prepare,
when we get in the courtroom
we'll have a weak position.
I've never met a woman this stubborn!
Everyone's different.
There are things you just can't force.
Most of the women I meet
know how they should behave.
I threw them some bait,
and they threw themselves at me,
one by one.
At the trial,
these will be presented as evidence.
You should cede some ground.
Admit to making advances.
Then these texts will be seen as you courting her.
Are you asking me to plead guilty?
Of course not.
This is how these things are decided.
The judge makes a judgment based on evidence.
These texts are not explicit.
So if you admit that you had romantic intentions,
it's easier to get them dismissed
as evidence of sexual harassment.
Which will render their evidence
null and void.
Don't play games with me.
This is your best play now.
Fine.
Seeing as that we're both on the same side here,
the rest of this
is up to you to handle now.
Let go.
Let go of my hand.
Let go!
It's okay. It's okay.
Stay calm, stay calm.
Well uh,
since your brother's here,
we'll talk next time.
Talk to you later.
You should let me teach him a lesson.
And you.
Why did you turn your phone off?
I didn't.
Check it.
I didn't.
Just check it.
I put it in airplane mode while I was recording.
I didn't turn it off.
Don't do this again.
I was worried.
Look, you can't be with me 24/7.
You know what they say.
Rather than giving a man fish,
teach him to fish.
Could you teach me to fight?
Hey. What do you say?
Hey!
Not even a hint of athleticism.
Who says?
You can't even master the simplest moves.
You don't get it.
It's often said
the less coordinated the limbs,
the more powerful the brain.
You meant this brain?
Yes.
This brain right here
is the sharpest in the world.
A super brain.

This section is for questioning.
So? Are you confident about the trial?
If things keep going how they are,
there should be no problem.
Are you sure?
Yeah.
Don't tell me you're giving this recording to Gu Siyu.
Of course not.
I'd be exposed.
And then, I'd lose my job.
Most of the women I meet
know how they should behave.
Hold on.
What did he mean by that?
Did he mean
during all these years in Liu Group,
Sun Xiaohua isn't the only one he's harassed.
Right?
So, we need to find the other victims,
and gather evidence,
and then we can convict Deng Fanyu.
Yeah.
But there's a problem.
What if they don't want to expose themselves
by coming forward?
What then?
Don't worry.
As long as I'm here,
there's no need to worry .
You mean using your ability?
Clever!
Hold on,
there's one thing I think is weird.
What?
Deng Fanyu seems to know
about me and Gu Siyu.
Fortunately,
I convinced him otherwise.
Impossible.
Only you and I know about it.
Besides,
Gu Siyu wouldn't tell Deng Fanyu about this.
Right.
That's why I think it's weird.
Who leaked the news?
Lin Xingran,
thank you for giving me a hand.
Miss Lin,
These are Sun Xiaohua's former colleagues.
You can begin at any time.
Look,
these are pictures she's posted online.
This is what she wears to work.
Each skirt shorter than the last.
That's right.
Even in the wintertime,
she shows off her legs.
Low necklines and short skirts.
It's like she needs to be seen.
She's always strutting around,
showing off in front of us.
It's disgusting.
Totally.
All of you are women,
and one thing you need to know is that
according to the law,
rape refers to
forced sexual relations
with a woman by any means, including violence,
threats of violence, and coercion.
So it has nothing to do with how
a woman dresses
or how she speaks,
or how she carries herself.
Even if she walks down the street naked,
no man has the right to violate her.
A decent woman won't dress like that.
She only has herself to blame.
That's right.
It has nothing to do with decency.
She is the victim here.
And you could be the next.
Now you're all sitting here, judging her,
because it didn't happen to you!
Hey... What did we say wrong?
Do you even hear yourselves?
Reign it in.
How could I forget about her?
She was also harassed,
and she's Xiaohua's best friend.
You've all agreed to hide the truth.
Fine.
I can understand.
We all need to earn a living.
But,
how can you be so mean to a colleague?
Don't you feel even a little bad?
All right, stop it.
We haven't even left the building yet.
Okay?
What's that matter?
I'll say it to their faces.
The way those girls talk
pisses me off even more than Deng Fanyu.
Slut shaming.
I meant to point my gun at them.
You saw it today.
The shooters were women.
This kind of victim blaming
is how assholes get away with these things.
Chill, chill.
I've found a new lead
and a new witness.
Who?
It's the secretary, Yin Shan.
She was harassed by Deng Fanyu too.
And she was a good friend of Sun Xiaohua's.
That's great.
If she can testify then we have hope.
Let me talk to her.
You're Deng Fanyu's lawyer.
You can't go.
Can you do this?
Hello, Miss Yin.
There's something I'd like to ask you.
Are you free now?
What is this about?
Deng Fanyu.
Did he ever harass you?
This must be a misunderstanding.
Mr. Deng never harassed me.
Why are you defending him?
He hasn't treated you well, has he?
He treats me fine.
Alright?
Did Deng Fanyu send him to test me?
I just want to know the truth.
I don't want more people to be hurt.
I don't think you do either.
I hope
you'll testify in Sun Xiaohua's defense,
let Deng Fanyu pay for what he did.
No.
Like what I've just told you,
Mr. Deng never harassed me.
He really hasn't.
What are you afraid of?
Afraid?
I... I'm not afraid.
This has nothing to do with me.
I won't get involved.
If I tell him the truth,
Deng Fanyu will get revenge.
And I need this job.
You and Xiaohua are good friends.
Your silence will only hurt her more.
You want to be an accomplice to Deng Fanyu?
I'm his accomplice?
Lin Xingran is his lawyer.
She's his real accomplice.
Miss Yin!
Stop following me!
I'm sorry, I...
I'm fine.
I'm just a little disappointed that you won't help us.
You're also a victim.
But you'd rather protect the assailant.
So often sexual harassment happens
because there are a lot of women like you.
When you're harassed,
you'd rather retreat and hide,
which only helps your abuser.
If he isn't punished,
he'll hurt more people.
Think about it.
If one day you're no longer of use to him,
then what happens to Sun Xiaohua today
will also happen to you.
You and Xiaohua are friends and colleagues.
Your help is important.
Incredibly.
Miss Yin.
I can understand how you feel right now.
I know how tormented
and scared you are.
Because I went through the exact same thing.
But I chose to stand up.
Because I knew
my choice
could save others.
As Deng Fanyu's lawyer,
it may not be appropriate for me to say this.
But because I'm his lawyer,
I know how important you are to this case.
This time, you're the one in a position
to help.
Lin Xingran,
each time you show a bit more concern,
a bit more tolerance and change,
it fills my heart with joy.
I feel like we're getting closer.
I'm no longer behind you,
but at your side.
When can I find my way into your heart?
= 1st People's Court of Wanjiang =
Let's go.
Court is now in session.
As far as I know,
during the plaintiff's 11 years with Liu Group,
he's only been accused one time.
I'm curious,
if the plaintiff has a history of serially harassing women,
why is the defendant
the only one accusing him?
Mr. Deng harassed his subordinates
and used his power to threaten them.
The defendant has the right to make such claims,
but you'll need to back it up with evidence.
Take a look at the screen.
These are forensics photos.
It's clear from the images that
Mr. Deng's female subordinates
are all dressed in long-sleeved tops and trousers.
But according to the rules,
there's no dress code
in the plaintiff's department.
So from this we can conclude
the female staff in this department
are concerned with harassment,
and therefore dress conservatively.
I think it's much simpler.
It's nothing more than
a coincidence.
Take a look at yourself and me.
We're both in dresses.
When people work together
long enough,
they have a tacit understanding
just like we do.
She didn't yield an inch.
I didn't realize she was so good.
I'm a bit surprised, too.
It's the duty of a lawyer
to listen to the client.
But I also think
lawyers have their own thoughts.
Not only the client's lawyer,
but the opposing client, and their lawyer
also have their own thoughts.
Often times,
your client may not be innocent.
If you close your ears,
and trust your client blindly,
you won't know what's in the interest of the innocent,
which is a subversion of justice.
That's not what a lawyer should do.
But faithfully representing the client
is a lawyer's mission.
Blindly conveying falsehoods
is not something a lawyer should do.
A lawyer is not anyone's mouthpiece.
Lawyers are missionaries of justice and truth.
We can't block the voices of others,
and we should listen to all voices.
Only in this way,
can we hold a fair trial.
This is what I believe
a lawyer should do.
Erectile dysfunction.
This is what we often call
impotence.
This is the hospital report produced
for my client.
Tell me,
how does a man with this problem
sexually harass anybody?
This is how I see it.
Because of feelings of inferiority,
Mr. Deng
is more likely to sexually harass others.
The research into sex crimes
bears out such phenomena.
But,
my client
also suffers from low adrenaline.
He and his wife separated quite some time ago.
Simply put,
in this aspect,
he can't perform.
Order, order.
Miss Lin,
don't embarrass me, okay?
Now's not the time to worry about that.
I didn't expect things to turn around.
Who should we trust?
Bosses, what do you think?
These are harassing texts from Mr. Deng.
We've got numerous examples.
I admit it.
I sent these messages to Sun Xiaohua,
and I had feelings for her.
But I sent these texts
because I was interested in courting her,
not harassing her.
You can see for yourselves,
there's nothing explicit in these texts.
He's lying!
Turnover has increased by 30% in the first half of the year,
while turnover increased by 10% in the second half.
Mr. Deng.
Just relax.
If you want to stay,
please me.
Yin Shan?
What's wrong?
Don't cry.
What happened?
Mr. Deng,
you've just admitted
you tried to court my client, right?
Yes.
But in your previous complaint,
it was clearly stated
that the defendant approached you voluntarily,
and that you were disgusted with her behavior.
Correct?
Well, later I found out she's a calculating woman,
and wanted to take advantage of me,
that's when I began disliking her.
Even so,
you took the initiative,
and she took the opportunity.
It contradicts the complaint you filed.
Your Honor,
the facts are clear now.
The plaintiff has concealed facts
and abused prosecutorial rights.
What does she mean by that?
It's a crime.
Crime?!
What?
But it has to be proven.
The court is adjourned.
The trial will resume after the period.
What are you doing?
Tell me.
Are you and Sun Xiaohua colluding to set me up?
You told me if I said that,
everything would be okay.
So why is this happening now?
It was to help you avoid suspicion.
I didn't think they were going to jump on it like that.
You didn't think?
Is that supposed to smooth things over?
If you want to blame someone,
blame yourself for not telling me all the truth before.
Fine.
I'm warning you,
you'd better not play tricks with me!
The judgment has been made.
The court has decided
the plaintiff concealed facts during proceedings,
which is an abuse of the court.
The court has decided
to dismiss charges.
Are you seeing this?
Why does Xingran look so happy?
Looks like my previous worries
were valid.
No.
These two colluded!
I want a retrial,
and a new lawyer!
If the plaintiff is dissatisfied,
you can appeal.
But the court will also consider
any possibility of false litigation.
Is that the end of this?
This man is a sexual criminal.
He's done worse things than just sexual harassment!
Why won't you punish him?
The law requires evidence.
If there is further evidence
to corroborate such accusations,
he will be dealt with accordingly.
The law?
Who exactly does the law protect?
I have evidence.
I can prove what he's done to us.
Yin Shan,
what are you doing?
Mr. Deng, what are you doing?
What? You're not used to this?
This isn't the first time.
Don't touch me.
Don't pretend you don't like it.
Don't forget,
it's up to me
whether you stay or go.
Don't touch me.
Don't move!
Deng Fanyu sexually harassed me.
Please Miss,
this trial is closed,
we can't take new evidence.
If your evidence is genuine,
the court recommends filing new charges.
Miss Lin.
Miss Lin!
Do you know what you did today?
I didn't want to lose the case,
I tried.
You did your best.
You worked with Gu Siyu to lose the case.
That's not what a professional lawyer should do.
What do you think one should do?
Should I help a criminal off the hook?
Impartial treatment.
This is what a professional lawyer upholds.
If every lawyer were like you,
a lot of people couldn't be defended.
Some people don't deserve to be defended.
The law doesn't deprive them of their right to defense,
nor does anyone else.
Mr. Zhang,
you're so impartial that
I wonder if you have any feelings.
No feelings,
no biases.
The jurisdiction of justice belongs to the law.
This is why we have the law.
Everyone deserves the right to a fair trial.
We have no right to judge them beforehand.
A fair trial huh?
Sun Xiaohua would have lost without me.
Even if the plaintiff commits perjury,
you shouldn't have done this.
The court would have seen through him
and held a fair trial.
I'm so disappointed.
You haven't changed at all.
What do you mean?
You knew Li Jia'er wanted to tell the truth,
so you forced her to keep quiet.
I was just reminding her.
Even if the plaintiff commits perjury,
you shouldn't have done this.
The court would have seen through him
and held a fair trial.
Here.
Don't dwell on it.
I made you this soup.
Don't dwell on it!
Do you think that I did wrong?
You don't care about winning,
you care about justice being served.
You didn't do anything wrong.
But as a lawyer,
did I do something wrong?
Sometimes professionalism is overrated.
Gu Siyu looked happy with herself.
She is Sun Xiaohua's lawyer.
Everything she did
was in her client's interests,
and in the end she won.
But me?
I judged my client before the trial.
So,
no matter what way you look at it,
I lost.
And if you look online,
everyone is calling me out.
Don't look at that.
I know that I shouldn't care about it.
But it's easy to say that,
it's harder to follow through.
This is getting bigger and bigger,
and I'm feeling smaller and smaller,
and lonelier and lonelier.
You've still got me.
I'll teach you something.
Close your eyes.
Do you hear it?
What?
Your heartbeat.
Sometimes,
don't listen to outside voices,
instead,
listen to your inner voice.
The trial was exhausting, right?
Here, have some more.
Thank you, Mom.
Siyu,
this case went pretty well, right?
There's a lot of talk about it online.
It went really well.
The other party lost,
and since it's a hot issue online now,
I struck while the iron was hot
to fight for my client's rights.
My daughter is all grown up,
and standing on her own.
Honey,
you see?
It was a difficult case,
and Lin Xingran's luck ran out
once she faced our daughter.
There's no good reason for her to have lost.
After losing so many times,
you win once,
and now it's gone to your head?
Dad,
I'll keep working hard.
Of course you will.
As my daughter,
you shouldn't lose.
You should always win.
All right.
Well, this is a celebration.
Come. Eat, eat.
Siyu, come on.
Honey, you're too hard on our daughter.
You should encourage her more.
I just have high standards,
but you think I'm too harsh.
You're so strict on her,
most people
would never think she's your daughter.
As my daughter,
she has to be strict with herself.
She must be perfect and flawless.
She must not lose.
I won't accept a loser.
March 28?
Lin Xingran just took over the case.
How did he know that?
She'll pay for this.
This is just the tip of the iceberg.
Please be patient.
Who are you?
How did you know that?
Is that you?
Li Junwei?
Boy,
you found me out again.
Be patient.
We'll be meeting very soon.
