[ The organizations, occupations, characters, geographic regions, incidents are fictional ]
I told DN to put things away the moment the warrant was issued.
- Who's out there?- It's the Director Park's team.
Chief Prosecutor Pyo In Yoo took the case?
Yes, since he moved to the No. 5 detective team at the end of last year,
it seems he's been digging into DN.
Why did you figure that out now?
He's been investigating so discreetly.
I think...
We get paid to figure out what's so discreet!
That's what we do!
Do you know how much of our revenue comes from DN Group?
I'm sorry.
I should've been more careful.
It's all my fault.
Find out what the Prosecutors' Office has right now,
especially if Chief Prosecutor Pyo In Yoo's people are involved,
and who was behind this as soon as possible!
Yes, will do.
Prepare to resign if you can't protect CEO Choi this time!
Hold on a second.
You shouldn't speak that way.
- What do you mean?- I'm not your staff.
I was apologizing, and you butt in? How about me?
You can't make excuses that way.
Look here.
I jumped in to help when you were in trouble. And what now?
Why don't you take full responsibility and quit then?
She's so proud because CEO Bang likes her.
Wait and see.
Get out of the way.
Get out!
Get out of the way!
Move!
I took care of the accounting department when B&G called us.
What a waste.
There's something else they're looking for.
Do you think they'll really come in broad daylight?
They already hit the jackpot.
I have a bad feeling about this.
Buying time with the law won't be enough this time.
Well...
Actually, I got this text message earlier.
I thought it was a prank, but...
Please comment on this matter.
Is it true that DN Group's slush fund
went to some members of Congress?
It's also rumored that there's tax evasion.
There's only evidence of the slush fund and tax evasion for now.
Please try not to speculate too much.
Is it true that there was a whistleblower at DN Group?
Just one comment.
The possible whistleblowers close to CEO Choi
[ Jung Hyun Soo, CEO of DN Distribution ]
[ Jang Seung Kyu, Jang Gil Soo ] can be narrowed down to these three people.
[ Episode 2 ]But it seems these two are less likely since
they're DN Group's chief secretary and
the CEO of DN Distribution.
The most likely suspect...
[ Jang Gil Soo ] is this person.
Director Jang Gil Soo was the president of
DN China until he quit the end of last year.
- And he just returned to Korea. - Why did he leave DN?
It seems because he was denied a promotion.
He expected to be promoted to VP,
but there was internal opposition due to poor sales in China.
No, that's not it.
Director Jang was one of the founding members. No way.
You're wrong.
Who do you have in mind then, Attorney Yoon?
I wouldn't know that.
How about the whereabouts of Director Jang?
The Prosecutors' Office probably covered it up.
I mean, seriously...
So there's nothing we can do?
Thankfully, we found one person.
It's this person.
She's Director Jang Gil Soo's wife, Cho Kyung Ja.
She teaches violin at a music institute in Seoul.
We're currently trying to locate the institute.
What are you doing right now?
Are you here to goof off?
No.
To be exact,
I'm here to save you and Director Jang.
I'm Ko Tae Rim.
[ Attorney Ko Tae Rim ]
Get out of here right now. Right now!
I guarantee promotion to VP and French branch head for five years.b
Here's my proposal.
Your daughter will be studying abroad?
[ University of Paris ]
[ Jenny Yun Violin ]
She just quit today.
She just left with a student.
She was right there, and you lost her?
I'm sorry.
Maybe Attorney Min has the wrong target.
It's mere speculation that Director Jang
was the whistleblower.
What do you think, Director Park?
You must know DN Group very well.
When they were searching the place yesterday,
the prosecutors didn't seem
so determined to find something.
I think it's fair to assume that
Prosecutor Pyo was informed by the whistleblower
and he issued the warrant.
I'm sorry.
How could I face CEO Choi anyway?
Should I show up empty-handed
and clap or something?
They're probably assuming it was Director Jang Gil Soo.
We should tell them about his wife first
and let them know that we'll be locating her.
- Buy some time for now?- Yes.
We still have some leads.
There's also a phone number she gave to her students.
We have no other options.
Why don't you come with me then, Director Park?
Yes, I'll get ready.
Then...
- I'll come with you too. - Hey, Yoon Sang Koo.
Yes.
I'm thinking of opening a branch overseas. Are you interested?
Of course. Where is it?
The Gobi Desert!
I'll send you there if you don't shape up. Okay?
Yes.
I'll do my best.
Seriously...
He's my only brother-in-law.
Is it broken?
Get the hell out! Get out!
Geez!
I apologize.
Why? Is something bothering you?
No, it's nothing.
I'm sure...
it's nothing.
See? I told you he's all about money.
But still, 500 million won is too much.
I could've helped you if it was 100 or 200 million won.
That's fine.
Even 50 won is too much for him.
I've got to go.
[ Daewon Student Apartments ]
This might be for the better.
In school, I used to worry about tuition and expenses.
And after I graduated, I worried about rent and tuition for academies.
[ The woman I love the most in the world ]
Mom?
I don't have that kind of stuff anymore.
She left to get remarried when I was in middle school.
Don't even bring her up.
You've also been enduring...
your entire life.
[ The woman I love the most in the world ]
I'm sorry for making you do this.
What should I tell Jae In?
Why don't you tell her yourself?
I can't do it.
You know I can't leave if I see her face.
Tell her that...
I'll be back soon if she listens to her aunt
and does well in school.
It won't be too long.
Jae In.
Hang in there.
Daddy will come back soon.
Were you awake?
Why didn't you say so then?
You should've said goodbye to Dad.
It'd be painful...
for dad.
He would've felt sad if he saw me.
He would've...
kept thinking of me crying.
Yes, you did well.
You did well.
You're all grown up, Jae In.
You know how to endure.
You know how to endure for your dad.
You did well.
I didn't expect you to greet us.
Well...
I have something to tell you.
I'm sorry for everything.
But what can I do? I'm in a desperate situation.
Please give us another chance.
Please forgive us if we've let you down.
It's not like that, CEO Bang.
I'm embarrassed as your friend, Director Park.
Don't worry about me.
So what's the reason?
Since you're the one who's breaking the contract,
shouldn't you tell us why at least?
I guess you're right.
How should I put it...
B&G is...
not bad as a baseball team,
but it doesn't have a memorable star.
Is that a good enough excuse?
Yes.
Since we're already in this situation...
Might as well. Tell him to come in.
You guys know each other well, right?
Yes, sir.
You've been well, right?
Ko Tae Rim.
How dare you...
Sir, I know this fellow better than anyone.
He's not qualified to represent a corporation like DN.
You're right.
For projects that don't require brilliant ideas or sharp analyzing skills,
such as international business or mergers that require a lot of simple labor,
it makes sense to hire a law firm.
That's why we're thinking of subcontracting.
To put it simply, it means lowly business.
Lowly. Business.
We'll consider B&G if you're interested.
Lowly business?
I'm sorry, sir.
I'll get going first.
You're looking for Mrs. Jo Kyung Ja, Director Jang wife, right?
Don't we seem close?
I raised you when you were nothing.
How dare you do this?
You ungrateful bastard.
Just because other people's poop is dirty doesn't mean mine's clean.
You can't say that especially if you're the one
who sullied me with your poop water.
What? Poop water?
You!
Please take the next one.
Yes, sir.
Wow, who's this?
Will you really be like this?
Is this the best you can do, Tae Rim?
If this is my best, I guess so.
But before you blame me,
shouldn't you take care of your own nest first?
I sent you an email.
Think carefully about why
and how you ended up this way.
Just wait a bit.
I'm the type to pay back a thousand,
10 thousand, no, 990 million times more.
Yoon Sang Koo, that bastard.
Golf...
Hey.
How dare they try to compete with me?
I have so much experience.
They didn't know I'm Tiger Woods in this field.
Attorney Yoon!
You see this?
I won the Nobless competition!
This isn't the time. We have an emergency.
Who cares?
I, Yoon Sang Koo, at No. 6 par-3 hole,
hit the ball like this and...
the ball flew in the air like this and...
hole-in-one.
That's how it's done.
I can do anything today.
Golfing is my best friend.
What? Why?
Why? What's wrong?
What did you to Goethe?
Well...
it was a joke.
A joke? A joke?
You bastard...
But you hate him too!
You always blame him for betraying B&G when you're drunk!
Do you know what happened to my company because of you?
Do you know?
I...
Geez...
I was only trying to be loyal.
Geez, oh, my, my stomach...
I showed it to him, and Bang Dae Han was like, "Whoa!" and...
What? Who are you?
I beg you, sir!
Didn't you call me a monster and a psychopath last time?
I'm sorry, sir.
I must've been crazy then.
Please, I beg you.
Please, please.
Do you think you're being cute right now?
You might appear in a nightmare.
Anyway, I don't even want to talk to you. Just leave.
Please, okay?
I'm sorry.
I don't think it'll work out.
Go away, go away, go away!
I'm sorry.
Here's the repayment agreement.
I did the calculation, and I think I'll be able to
pay it off after 18 years or so.
Please take it.
I'll take it for now,
but it'll be difficult.
Mr. Koo.
What are you doing right now?
I think it's time to put these away.
Six months seems enough time to wait.
He won't come back, will he?
Probably not.
- Did you hear from him?- No.
I haven't heard anything yet.
Why don't we wait another month?
Sure, will do.
It's a ghost. It's a ghost!
Sir, I beg you.
Please!
I'll sue you.
Breaking and entering, psychological trauma, and its aftermath!
I'll sue you. I'll sue you!
I think she left. Calm down.
Tick, leech, remora...
Mr. Koo!
Build a new wall tomorrow.
Make it stronger and higher!
My grades would have allowed me to be a judge,
but my grandpa had always called me
"Prosecutor Jin" since I was a kid.
So I became a prosecutor.
I see.
Also, I'm physically repelled by society's evils.
Murderers, thugs, and whatnot.
How impressive.
Where are the buildings your father owns by the way...
Two 50-storied buildings in Samsungdong,
and probably five or six 10 to 20 stories here and there.
Did you say you're the only daughter?
- Excuse me, Prosecutor Jin. - Yes, Seol Hee.
Let's say I committed murder.
And you happened to take that case.
What would you do?
There's no way you'd commit murder.
Why not?
I feel like killing someone several times a day.
People who spit on the ground
and customers who act like they're kings.
People who honk since I'm a new driver.
I want to kill them all.
You're testing me, right?
If that happened, can you get me a not guilty verdict?
But our relationship hasn't...
What if we really loved each other?
But still, we're talking about murder...
What if I give you a building in Samsungdong if you got me off?
How much would that be then...
The way I see it...
you should become a lawyer instead asap.
I went on dates with
three judges and
four prosecutors this month.
But you're the least moral one among them.
You're crossing the line with your joke.
That's it. Fight corruption with that attitude.
Don't ask me about the building costs.
Prosecutor Jin, fighting!
Seol Hee!
Cheers!
For some reason,
there aren't any lawyers on my dad's list for my dates.
- Isn't that funny?- Of course.
He doesn't want any greedy lawyers.
Your father wants someone with a sense of justice.
Do you know what justice is?
Justice...
is justice.
It's just rare in this society.
Wrong! What's justice?
Eui-jung (parliamentary politics).
He said parliamentary politics is justice.
So if you want justice,
you have to be in parliamentary politics.
That Goethe really got to you, didn't he?
What will you do with the appeal?
Should I go on a date with a lawyer for you?
He said no.
They say that Goethe or pervert
who says justice is parliamentary politics,
is the only one who'd win this case.
Then, should I flirt with Goethe?
Tell him my dad is rich?
He's an embarrassment to lawyers.
No,
he's an embarrassment to mankind.
The client is...
in the cold prison cell
for a crime he didn't commit.
And meanwhile, his lawyer is getting drunk.
I'm an embarrassment.
I'm an embarrassment!
- Hey.- Embarrassment...
Why are you suddenly acting like this?
Hey!
What should we do?
You even agreed to a slave contract.
You must be really desperate.
I'll quit.
Yes, that's going too far.
No.
I'll quit being a lawyer.
If I can't prove his innocence,
I don't think
I can bear to remain a lawyer.
- Take the case? - Yes.
But why?
To be honest, since Attorney Kang left six months ago,
I feel I've I reached my limit doing the paperwork alone.
If you want to represent DN Group too,
- I think you'll need more people. - I see.
That's why you wanted to clear your desk.
But taking an unprofitable case
like that is a separate issue.
Here's the repayment agreement she sent along.
It may take her
18 years and three months to pay it off.
So I should hire her instead of charging the fee?
I'm still not convinced.
Forget a newbie like her,
but interview some pretty women and...
It has to be Attorney Seo.
I'm asking you why. Why?
Because I want it that way.
- If you refuse to do it... - What if I refuse?
I'm thinking of working as a stableman
for the royal family in Morocco.
- Morocco? - Actually...
Sotheby's offered me a job as an
auctioneer specializing in Asian pottery.
I've been considering that too.
Sotheby's... Pottery?
The glaze is indeed subtle and clear, but...
looking at the shape, it's factory-made.
What's it about this time?
- Did I call you?- I called him.
I thought you'd need
someone to clean after I leave.
Should I leave for Morocco or Sotheby's?
Are you quitting, Mr. Koo?
Who'll be in charge of the food, laundry,
wardrobe, skincare, and data management?
Hey, someone's calling you.
Someone's calling!
Hello? Seo Jae In is...
Hey, little chick.
This is Ko Tae Rim.
Come over right now.
Hello?
Hello...
Hey, what are you doing at my place?
Don't you remember?
Someone called you.
Who?
Don't know. He said the little chick should come over now.
Little chick?
Who makes prank calls this early in the morning...
What? What is it?
I adjusted the redemption yield a bit.
Have a look at it before you sign.
I shortened 18 years and three months you suggested.
For 15 years and three months,
there won't be any incentives.
What's the difference between 15 and 18 years?
Your life sentence is over when you're paroled as a model prisoner.
How tedious.
Of course, it'll be shortened if you
take a case individually and win.
Maybe she'll get lucky and magically become capable someday.
If the debtor gets into an
unavoidable situation or breaks the contract with the firm...
Yes.
We'll hire a loan shark and take the money back in 20 days,
and you'll have to pay them back instead.
Forget it if you don't want to.
What can we do if she doesn't want to?
You agree with me, right?
You won't choose Morocco or Sotheby's over me.
No, I won't.
You don't have to if you don't want to.
But I believe there isn't much time left to request an appeal.
Fine.
But under one condition.
If you don't get a not guilty verdict,
the contract will be nullified.
Of course.
I'm different from those lowly amateurs who
say stuff like "I did my best" after
losing the case and taking the fee.
[ Seo Jae In ]
I ironed your suit.
Mr. Koo.
Is this really a cheese omelet?
How could it taste like this? It's so good.
I used to be a chef in Switzerland.
Of course.
Have a seat.
So good!
He used to invite the servers to his place
and we used to cook and eat together.
So that explains the fingerprints on the knife?
You said you confessed while being questioned.
I heard the detective threatened you.
Did he kick your chair too?
Well, to be accurate...
He kicked the leg of the chair.
Are you listening?
Who spit on the floor anyway?
So gross.
He's explaining everything again for you.
Please focus.
Where and what were you doing at the time of the crime?
Well, it started raining all of a sudden.
I was at a bus stop to avoid the rain.
If we can prove it, that'd be your alibi.
Unfortunately, there's no witness.
The bus must've stopped running then.
Were you just sitting there until it stopped raining?
He bought a coffee at a store nearby...
I asked the client.
You bought coffee?
The store owner must've seen you.
He couldn't remember.
- There was no receipt... - Your name is...
Mr. Kim Byung Tae.
Why don't you enjoy...
the last few days in prison?
This is the police report
and the crime laboratory report.
These are the precedent cases I collected.
- What's this?- The appeal statement.
No!
It's trash, trash!
My eyes will rot from reading it.
This and that too!
You managed to collect so much trash.
Put it in the trash right now!
What do you want me to do then?
First, find moving stories about Kim Byung Tae.
[ Civic Center ]
Whether he was a good son or didn't waste any food...
Anything!
Delicious food.
Hello, everyone.
You remember Byung Tae, who used to live around here with his mom, right?
Here.
- Yes.- I remember.
We asked you here because we wanted to hear stories about him.
My grandson was a good boy.
When I would return after working in the field,
he'd rub my shoulders and back all the time.
He was very polite.
On holidays, he'd come with a bunch of presents...
Secondly, collect stories that make the detectives look bad.
Let go, it hurts!
You bastard.
You're lucky to be released today.
But you won't be so lucky next time.
Seriously!
Excuse me.
Do you have a moment?
What's this?
Thirdly...
create a narrative and get media attention.
The court cares about public opinions.
[ Current Affairs ]
[ A framed young man. Who will compensate him? ]
[ What can be done with coercion? ]
[ Will we keep tolerating coercion? ]
I thought it was too much.
He kicked my leg and insisted it was a mistake.
The times have changed now.
If someone keeps telling you that you did it when you didn't,
you start thinking that you did.
Fourthly.
Get attention from human rights groups.
Kim Byung Tae is innocent!
[ Innocent Young Man ]Please sign a petition for
a young man framed due to wrongful investigation!
Please help him find justice!
Please!
Please sign the petition!
Thank you.
It really wasn't me.
I didn't do it.
When I was the chief prosecutor,
I saw many, many...
punks like you.
The evidence is clear, yet they insist...
it wasn't them to the end.
With their tears running down like you.
For real...
the only thing
I did was ask a grandma to talk crap about
Goethe in front of the courthouse.
Then what is this?
Just what is this?
I'm going insane.
I don't know who this man is.
I swear on my mother's grave.
- Please believe me, Brother-in-law. - Quiet!
From now on, don't ever
think on your own or
make any decisions.
Don't even move a finger.
Got it?
Okay.
- Don't! - Okay.
You really didn't do it?
How many times did I tell you I didn't?
I didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't, didn't!
What if...
you were framed?
It could be a simple grudge
or a third party trying to provoke
Goethe and harm us.
If it's a grudge, would it be against me?
Of course.
Our company and you suffered the
most damages from this incident.
There are no grudges against me.
I swear to God that...
I haven't done anything that bad.
Then our rival firm could've done this.
Anyhow, let's find out more.
I'm more suspicious of you.
As if you're covering your own tracks
by pretending to cover for me.
Who are you?
Rumor has it that you own many cars.
Why do you take the subway?
So that my enemies don't know my whereabouts.
Someone once figured out my schedule and
messed with me. It was traumatic.
By any chance, did someone harm you?
Assault.
To be exact,
an assassination disguised as an assault.
No way.
He punched me, kicked me and the knife...
No, don't come close, don't!
Then you shouldn't do things to inspire grudges.
Are you saying I do things to inspire grudges?
Not exactly or anything.
You haven't experienced it yet.
The misconception that only certain parties harbor
injustice, rage, and the intent to murder.
Pardon?
Even a completely innocent person
gets harmed for no reason.
That's the way of the world.
I came here several times.
But the owner says he doesn't recall.
- Picture. - What?
- Give me Kim Byung Tae's picture. - Yes.
- Hello. - Yes, hi.
Geez!
I said, I don't know!
I've said many times that I don't remember!
Doing this won't help me remember anything!
You have the sales ledger from that day, right?
I told this lady already.
It was raining hard that day,
I was about to close and someone bought something.
But I don't remember his face at all.
Around the time the buses stopped running, and he bought a coffee.
He was sitting at the station alone.
You must've noticed.
My mind's been going blank a lot these days.
Mr. Park Hyo Sung.
Huh? How'd you know my name?
The human brain is fascinating.
Even if you don't remember,
the subconscious mind has stored everything.
Something could trigger it to surface suddenly.
But still.
You know that this case is a hot potato and
everyone's paying attention.
- Yes, I know. - Please sit for a minute.
Your testimony may save an innocent young man.
You're the only one in this world who can.
And saving someone...
is like saving yourself.
Your estranged wife and daughter
may come and see the trial, too.
Sir.
Expose the truth on the witness stand.
You exposing the Prosecutors' Office and police's wrongdoings...
How would that look to your wife and daughter?
What are you doing?
I'm helping this man trigger his memories.
Is something wrong with that?
What do you think?
Have your memories been triggered?
Do you remember anything?
To tell you the truth...
I told the police that I'd seen
someone who looks like him.
What?
By any chance, did the police say this?
"You are mistaken!"
Game over.
It's been decided.
Mistaken judgment. The case reversed.
The retrial has been set!
Congratulations.
Join us for dinner.
Wow, this is amazing.
Your cooking is the best.
- Would you like some more? - No, no.
I had two servings already.
Good job.
Thank you.
Call me if anything else comes up.
Is that guy by any chance...
Don't concern yourself.Your real work starts now.
If we lose the appeal,
you'll forfeit your law degree and
also your human rights. Got it?
Yes!
Wow, who is this?
The one who forgot all we've done for her
and betrayed us completely.
Have you been well?
No, I haven't been well at all.
On the contrary,
I've been in a state of despair and grief.
Because of whom? Because of your darn boss!
Because of Goethe!
Relay this message to him.
That I'll be judging him soon.
- Pardon? - Don't you know "judgment?"
I'll go and judge him.
What the heck? You don't know "judgment?"
You tell him.
Jae In, get in!
Tell him.
That I'll go and judge him.
Judge!
Good job.
I was very cool.
My apologies.
I didn't notify you before changing jobs.
It's okay.
I would've done the same in your shoes.
I totally understand.
I had you pegged.
You would do anything for a client.
My situation, affiliations, relations...
My head's been
filled with those useless things for some time now.
No, Director Min, not at all.
I want to be a great attorney like you someday.
I used to be a gangster chick.
Back then, I didn't know the law
but I knew...
what was right even more than I do now.
So, how's your new office?
He's the worst person
I've ever met in my entire life.
But still, you'll learn a lot there.
Ko Tae Rim was at the top of his class
but still chose to be an attorney.
Professor!
Were you outside because of me?
No. Just some exercise.
My belly keeps getting bigger.
It's cold. Please go inside.
I felt bad about Director Min, so
I went to pay her my respects.
You recommended me to them.
I'm sorry, Professor.
Wrong.
I only asked them to help you with your case.
B&G was something Min Joo Kyung did on her own.
Regardless.
If I hadn't met Director Min,
I wouldn't have been able to apply.
Miss.
I know you want a clean, detached life.
I already gave that up.
All the allowance and tuition you've given me...
I'm ignoring them and still crashing at your place.
Wow, your words have gotten sharper.
I want to live differently from now on.
I won't hold it in but will spit it out.
Even if I regret it later, I want to give it a shot.
And...
I won't miss anyone
or want to see them.
You miss your dad.
I won't wait for him anymore.
I think CEO Choi won't be prosecuted.
Director Jang has turned over
all the prosecution's testimonies.
Goethe planned all this from the start.
Win over Director Jang and tell it to the Prosecutors' Office.
Then use that as a bait to lure DN away from us!
And here are the results.
Including Director Park, 10 people have quit.
We lost 20% of our manpower.
You told me not to worry about it.
My apologies.
I was shortsighted.
As you said, we have no other choice
but to destroy Goethe.
So, you have a plan?
Goethe had a star pupil.
Attorney Kang Ki Seok.
He worked for Goethe for two years
but quit six months ago.
Goethe's star pupil?
If Goethe is a passionate samba,
then Attorney Kang Ki Seok is a classy waltz.
Attorney Kang will be able to predict
Goethe's erratic strategies.
So he knows Goethe the best.
Sounds good.
But if he's loyal, would he even join us?
I made him an offer he can't refuse.
And he said okay.
So the money moves him, huh?
Well, a baby viper is a viper.
What I'm curious about is...
how that punk
Goethe will react.
[ Director Min Joo Kyung ]
Are you Attorney Kang Ki Seok?
Sister!
Bang, bang!
I'll finish them off. Everyone!
I'll finish them all off!
The prosecutor in charge is Hwang Tae Ho,
who's reputed to be sharp.
Who? Hwang Tae Ho?
That guy is sharp?
Do you know him?
In front of me, he completely shrivels up,
loses his presence, and therefore
the automatic doors didn't even open.
[ Defense Attorney ]
What are you doing?
I'm trying to relax.
You just sit still.
There's nothing for you to do.
Hey, you're here.
You're putty in my hands.
[ Prosecutor ]
Thank God the courtroom doesn't have automatic doors.
Let's commence.
[ The Judge ]
A slow idiot.
Dumbo, chicken, a freaking player.
You always heard these words from the victim, correct?
Defendant?
- Yes. - How did you feel?
I didn't feel good.
Plus after work hours,
he'd hit only your legs or abdomen
in front of all the other employees?
Yes.
And two days before the incident,
you were fired in front of
all the other employees, right?
Yes.
Please tell us which jobs you worked at
from January 2017 to the day of the
incident in November 2018.
Delivery for a jokbal restaurant.
Assistant at a lamb skewers shop.
Assistant at a Chinese restaurant.
Waiter at a cafe.
Cleaning service employee.
I don't remember all of them.
I figured, so I wrote them down.
Car wash, assembly factory, a cook,
flower delivery, driver service,
sushi restaurant assistant cook, kimbap delivery,
Internet cafe custodian, a valet at a restaurant, etc.
There are 23 jobs.
Out of all these,
19 places fired you for being too slow.
10 of them fired you after insulting you.
Also, you were constantly assaulted
by seven of these owners.
We invited them to join us here.
Please rise.
I'm sorry to all the youths in today's world,
but incidents that are to be eradicated
are still common in our society.
Therefore!
The defendant who dealt with
these owners for many years,
the insults and assaults he endured
were nothing new nor special.
In my investigation,
the 22 business owners whom the defendant
worked for are all alive and well.
This falls quite short of the cause
for murder proposed by the prosecution.
According to Defendant Kim Byoung Tae, Detective No Goo Dong
kicked the chair and made loud
threats during the interrogation.
- That's a groundless claim. - So...
the problem is that we don't have recorded footage of the interrogation.
The interrogation room was being remodeled that morning.
So we had to conduct it in the old interrogation room.
I heard about this later as well.
The recording device was broken.
The old interrogation room?
Didn't you go there intentionally, knowing that it was broken?
Or you threw away the recorded CD.
That's not it at all.
Kim Byung Tae said that the camera was
constantly blinking as it was recording.
He must be mistaken.
If we keep this up, he'll get a not guilty verdict and...
You haven't done anything. Why are you excited?
Get rid of the eggshells on your head first. Chirp, chirp.
I was terrified of the prosecutor.
When our eyes would meet, I'd freeze.
But he wasn't like that with you at all.
I feel light as a feather right now.
What's got you so excited?
You were so cocky last time because you had a guardian.
But...
how come you haven't come by to apologize after an assault?
Why you little...
Whoa, hey, hey, hey, hey!
Are you really going to hit me?
If I really hit you,
it'd be more than three weeks of treatment. Got it?
Go ahead if you're up for it.
Well.
Welcome, Attorney Kang.
Brother!
I assume you heard about our situation.
How should we devise our strategy?
Please hang on.
- What did you say? - Huh?
Well, I said...
Brother, how can we strategize to beat Goethe?
There's a saying in Algeria, Africa.
"When flies don't fly, raise your arrow."
Flies?
Arrow?
It means there's no need for a new strategy.
It's already in progress, so we'll move along with it.
Did you understand him?
- Is he really Goethe's star pupil? - He is.
I saw him in action before.
His style is quite unique,
but his rate of victory is higher than Goethe's.
But why can't I place my faith in him?
He's an attorney but plays with his smartphone like a kid.
Since he's not typical, wouldn't it...
serve as a plus?
- Hey. Are you okay? - Yes, I'm sorry.
No, it's okay. We're both at fault.
Thank you.
Sir,
that's Attorney Kang.
Yes. For sure, right?
Brother!
- Brother! - Long time!
- We meet again. - Yes, sure.
- Are you back? - Yes. I should work now.
Oh, there they come.
They're my colleagues from the firm I joined.
I see you already met.
The three generations are all here.
Our CEO Bang's star pupil, Attorney Ko Tae Rim.
And Attorney Ko's star pupil, Attorney Kang Ki Seok.
Star pupil?
The world affairs are like a boomerang.
When you throw something out, you'll get the same in return.
Let's go.
Sunbae, I'll see you again.
See you later.
Mr. Koo.
Are you all right?
The hearing will start soon.
Snap out of it and let's go inside.
Defense Counsel. Won't you issue a statement?
At the time of the incident, November 15th around 11:50 p.m.
Your snack shop is 15 km away from the scene.
Do you remember who purchased a coffee?
- Yes. - Is that man here?
- Yes. - Who is it?
It's him.
I rest my case.
Your Honor,
- I call forth a new witness. - Objection!
This witness is closely related to the Defense Counsel's witness just now.
We were searching and just located her.
Prosecution's witness, please come forward.
My name is Shin Mi Kyung, and
I teach art history at a university.
On November 15th, 2018.
Around 11:50 p.m.
What were you doing?
I was reading books at a bookstore and missed the bus.
So I bought a coffee at the station's snack bar.
Then I waited until my sister picked me up.
Did you purchase the coffee from him?
Yes, that's correct.
It's been a while. How can you be sure?
Because of the post and pictures in my blog.
If you look here, you'll see.
Okay, I'll ask you again.
Did the defendant purchase the coffee that day?
Or is it Shin Mi Kyung over there?
Well, I...
My memory is not...
Wait...
Yes, yes, I remember!
That skull scarf.
Yes, that's right.
It was this woman.
Yes.
Lies.
Why are you lying? I bought it.
Why are you lying?
I said, why are you lying?
I bought it!
Let go of me.
Let me go!
I bought it!
Now, now. We'll take a break.
Did I just lose?
All of a sudden, Bang Dae Han hires Kang Ki Seok.
And Prosecutor Hwang.
And sandwiched in the middle is...
Seo Jae In.
You know our strategy better than anyone!
- What about me? - You're a spy, right?
It doesn't make sense otherwise. Fess up.
- You're a spy, right? - No, I'm not!
Fess up before I torture you with a 36,000-volt taser gun.
- You're a spy for sure! - I said, I'm not!
Get out. Leave right now!
Legal High
Goethe should be shaken up.
His star pupil handed it to him.
A pictorial, my foot.
Brother!
You're my assistant from now on, right?
What? I assist you?
So, what's your real reason?
I must beat the best to be the best.
If you're not capable, at least have common sense!
Malicious virus! That's you right there!
I said, I'm not!
Find the real culprit.
Saving someone is like saving yourself.
Find the real culprit. The real culprit!
The real culprit!
This is a breach of contract, don't you know?
Whoa, is that a threat?
Mr. Koo, Mr. Koo!
Fire the baby chick immediately.
Get out. Leave right now!
♫ Hold my hand tightly ♫
- Hello. Did you call a driver? - Geez, you scared me...
You startled me.
I didn't call a driver.
Aren't you Yoon Sang Koo?
Cheongdam, 4th Avenue.
Yeah, that's my name.
But my car...
I left my car, car, car.
I guess the bar called you.
