Yoon Sang Koo!
Where did this bastard go?
Just wait until I find you!
Why are you looking for Attorney Yoon?
He messed up the case we just landed.
I thought it was Goethe's case and assigned it to Attorney Kang,
- but do you know who the attorney is?- By any chance...
is it Seo Jae In?
My leg cramps...
Leg cramps...
Yoon Sang Koo.
You bastard!
Mr. Bang!
Mr. Bang, Mr. Bang...
Mr. Bang, Mr. Bang!
- No, no, please...- Come here!
Not that one...
That's mine.
- Please calm down.- How can I calm down right now?
Don't move!
Stay right there.
- Don't move!- I wish I could...
but my survival instinct's kicking in making me move around.
Be quiet. Don't move!
Don't move. Don't move!
Geez! Bastard!
Hold it right there. Don't move!
Hold it right there!
Stop!
Yes...
[ Episode 4 ]This scent is always so nice and pleasant.
I can feel every single cell in my body coming back to life.
Scent, my foot.
All I smell is a rotting smell.
To be exact, it's the unique smell of an animal
who sold their soul.
I can't breathe in here!
What? An animal?
If you're that dissatisfied, just quit.
- I'll hook you up with a loan shark.- Go ahead.
I don't want to be here for another minute either.
But the problem is, loan sharks can also be very sharp.
They can calculate and determine whether
something's worth anything in 0.5 seconds.
But it's 100% certain you'll get rejected,
and that means I'll have to risk the fee and whatnot.
I'm not an object. I'm a person.
Also, I'd rather work on a shrimp boat
forever than become evil like that.
Evil?
You still haven't come to your senses.
You think companies are always evil
and employees are always good?
Why don't you try wrestling a mountain gorilla
in Uganda or something.
That way, you might come to your senses.
Park Ki Seung, who got injured,
was dragged on the ground for 20 meters because of the pigtail,
and it'll take four weeks for his bottom to heal.
Also, his son is being bullied in school, and the whole family is falling apart.
So he should've been more careful getting out of the cab.
If your tie or scarf caused your injury,
you don't blame the company.
How about his son then?
It's not because of the pig costume.
It was because he wasn't attentive
and didn't even know the routes his son takes.
And even though he ran into him, he should've stayed calm
and given the pigtail to his son and his friends as a present
and bought them juicy pork cutlet instead.
He should've blamed himself for not being quick enough.
Anyway, I can't do it.
I won't do it!
She won't be able to.
Ms. Seo got another case.
Of course she only got lowly and desperate cases.
You can take it under one condition.
Be thankful that I'm taking care of a helpless
tadpole who only takes pathetic cases like this.
And you should at least try not to cause me any harm.
Don't worry.
I'll never ask for your help.
Here's another thing.
You'd better get involved in Dae Sung Group's case
that you despise so much.
- Why should I?- You'll find out eventually.
I'll accept those conditions.
What? You want to deal with Seo Jae In?
No.
Have Attorney Yoon work with a newbie like her and focus on Goethe instead.
The case is in the spotlight because of the company's abuse of power, too.
You have to win a trial like that, so we could shut up Goethe.
I think the public interest is taking the employees' side.
Don't you think it'd be better if you took the case as he said?
I don't think they'll go to court.
The case is in the spotlight because it's a power-trip case,
but the employees are still afraid of the company.
I'm sure they'll settle at some point.
We can come up with a settlement that's favorable to us then.
The people will lose interest over time
and even if they reach an agreement,
they'd still have to worry about Dae Sung Group since they're a big advertiser.
Therefore...
- they might not write a follow-up article.- Yes.
How meaningful would it be if no one cares about the victory?
Even so, I still don't understand why someone like you
would deal with a newbie like her.
There's a saying like this in Botswana.
"Even the moon hiding in the clouds still brightens the sky."
What's he talking about?
Have you heard of a "proxy war" by any chance?
Even though Seo Jae In is on the case,
Ko Tae Rim's firm is still on the line.
The Ko sunbae that I know of won't just let her lose the case.
I guess if we win, it might not be a huge blow,
but it'll at least be a blow to his self-esteem.
No, no, no, no.
I'm sure it'll be much worse than that.
The industry would think of it as Ko Tae Rim's defeat.
Also, why don't you let Attorney Yoon Sang Koo take the Dae Sung case?
No, not him.
They'd be distracted on other things if their opponent is weak.
And having their guard down will be an opportunity for Attorney Yoon.
So you're saying we might lose both rabbits if we go after
both of them, right?
But how can I trust Attorney Yoon?
Sometimes desperation can yield results.
Geez, it stings!
Should I sue my own brother-in-law?
Should I put him in jail?
It's not like I knew or anything.
I thought it was Goethe because they said it's his firm.
Why did it have to be Seo Jae In?
What an ill-fated relationship.
The next time I see her, I'll just...
Yes, yes. CEO.
Pardon?
Me?
I'm Yoon Sang Koo.
Yes!
I'll do whatever it takes!
Yes!
Thank you!
Is he finally recognizing my potential?
I guess considering how experienced and skilled I am,
I'm way above that Kang Ki Seok.
Good shot!
Are those really the only reasons
or is there something else?
I'm not sure.
You're much more vicious than I thought.
You figured Goethe would get involved if he knew
you were the opponent because he was betrayed, right?
You're still underestimating Jae In.
I wondered if she'd be as good on a case
she's not personally involved.
I was curious about that.
I'll get going then.
[ Attorney Kang Ki Seok ]
Isn't that the handsome lawyer you mentioned?
Aren't you going to answer?
No, I'm not.
Why not?
By any chance...
did something happen the other night?
Did something romantic or erotic happen?
It was more alcoholic.
I even humiliated myself several times.
Did you turn into Ppoppi by any chance?
By any chance...
did you do that too?
I can see why you're not answering.
But you should answer to apologize.
I'm not going to answer.
I can't do it!
Why am I so extreme?
- Why can't I be in the middle?- So...
what's this case all about?
Very nice.
Try smiling this time.
One, two!
That's very nice. Let me review the photos.
My goodness. You're so pretty, Hyun Ji.
You're an angel!
Son.
I know you're very happy, but try keeping your mouth closed.
What's wrong with that?
It's better to show my natural feelings.
Oh, my.
Are you a goofy husband already?
- Geez, you guys are still cute.- Thank you.
Let's do a few more.
Make a happy face. One, two!
What's wrong, Hyun Ji?
Is it someone you know?
Excuse me, who are you?
I'm...
Choi Hyun Ji's boyfriend.
What?
Hyun Ji, what is he talking about?
Hyun Ji?
- No, it's not like that.- Hyun Ji.
Let's be honest now.
We expected this to happen anyway.
Hyun Ji.
I'll protect you...
for the rest of my life.
Mr. Hong Min Cheol.
Please tell me everything from the beginning.
Well, the thing is...
I don't understand why I was sued.
The plaintiff, Choi Hyun Ji's
wedding is about to be canceled because you showed up
during her wedding photo shoot.
The wedding is back on track, but...
She didn't want to get married anyway.
This isn't a laughing matter.
Because of this, Choi Hyun Ji
had to cancel her honeymoon and the wedding hall reservation, etc.
It ended up costing her a lot of money.
Also, she's asking for 100 million won for psychological damage.
I thought it'd be better than getting a divorce later.
Are they still getting married?
That's not all.
I heard you'd been stalking
Choi Hyun Ji night and day before too.
Is that true?
Mr. Hong Min Cheol.
You're willing to admit to everything the plaintiff claimed,
so we can reach a reasonable agreement, right?
I didn't do anything wrong.
Excuse me? What did you say?
I said, I didn't do anything wrong.
Geez, these bastards.
How could they make themwear these for sales marketing?
And they did it because they were told to?
No.
They were just trying to survive.
Just to...
survive.
Bring it all back!
Mr. Bang...
Come here!
Hold it right there!
Stop!
I know how that feels.
Of course I do.
You had to do it even though you really didn't want to.
Oink, oink.
Oink, oink, oink.
Oink...
So that's how you felt.
You could feel the humiliation
kicking in the right from below the belly button.
How humiliating!
Aren't you going to get going?
He said you should attend that meeting no matter what.
How long have you been working here, Mr. Koo?
I think it was when he just started furnishing this place.
It wasn't easy to balance the yin and yang
while arranging the furniture.
I see.
You have so much to offer, but how could you work for...
someone like him with no complaints?
- I'm not sure what you mean.- From my experience,
he has no affection toward people
and he doesn't seem humane at all.
I don't know what's in his head...
You want to know what's in his head?
I don't know how this will sound, but...
metaphorically speaking,
- he's like a deserted house.- Pardon?
A deserted house?
A deserted...
Yeah...
I think that makes sense.
Even when people die from getting bombed,
some people try to steal money from the victims.
When there are earthquakes or floods,
some people take that opportunity to loot.
Why don't you trust him just this once?
Pardon?
Like he said, if you get involved in
Dae Sung Group's case, you'll understand why.
I think...
he must have a reason deep down.
I'm sorry for being presumptuous.
Anyway,
that fickle king of nagging...
money whore. Do you like him?
Jae In, why do you look only on the surface?
Are you saying there's something different inside?
Attorney Seo.
My firm ended up representing Dae Sung.
I'm so sorry.
No worries.
We're sorry that we made such a promise.
Could you treat us a bit gently?
I'm on your side, no matter what.
- Cheer up. Fighting! - Yes.
[ Stop abusing your power! ]
[ A normal work environment! ]
Before we start,
I'd like to introduce you to the lawyer who'll be representing us.
A round of applause!
Hello.
I'm the ace attorney of B&G Law Firm,
Yoon Sang Koo.
We want the withdrawal of the unreasonable personnel appointments
and to reinstate everyone.
Also, no more of these childish...
animal costumes!
They've been violating your privacy and dignity.
Also, compensation for work-related injuries.
Lastly, we demand the current management
resign for engaging in unfair labor practices.
Applause!
Yes!
- Yes! - Applause!
I'm Attorney Ko Tae Rim, who'll be representing
Dae Sung Meat Processing.
I'll tell you what our requirements are.
First of all,
I request that you return to your own divisions.
Second of all,
I request that you compensate the company for damaging
their brand and causing a loss in sales due to internet posts and articles.
Third of all,
your cooperation with the company auditors with their investigation
so they can pinpoint the leader of this strike.
- That's all.- Are you kidding me right now?
It seems like he doesn't
understand the nature of this case at all.
These are recent newspaper headlines.
A boycott against Dae Sung Group due to their abuse of power.
An anachronistic violation of human rights.
The employees work at an animal farm.
I hope you're ready for what's to come
not just for Dae Sung Meat Processing,
but for the entire Dae Sung Group!
Among the 350 employees of Dae Sung Meat Processing,
only 40 of them participated in this strike.
The rest of the 310 employees are working
extra hard right now due to your absence.
To put it simply, your actions right now
aren't only endangering your jobs
but also your colleagues' jobs.
Don't you realize how criminal that is?
I knew you'd be like this.
Threatening them with their jobs
by holding their colleagues hostage.
That's what third-rate thugs do!
Because you put up with this,
your human rights were taken away.
Cluck, cluck, cluck...
Oink, oink, oink...
Quack, quack...
That's how you became pigs, ducks, and chickens.
This can't go on any longer.
Why?
Because being treated inhumanely like that
and living like slaves is...
worse than dying.
Don't you agree, everyone?
Yes!
Yes, that's right!
That's right!
So you want to go all the way with this, right?
Even though your company went bankrupt
and closed down due to the boycott.
And your colleagues became homeless after losing their jobs,
you wouldn't care at all, right?
We're not asking for a lot.
You just want an ordinary work life.
Respect your sunbaes and help your hoobaes.
You just want to be respected by your children
when you go back home.
Instead of the work dinners
where you're forced to wear animal masks that damage your dignity,
you want to...
you want to be able to vent your frustrations.
That's what you want.
Those are the humble hopes you have.
If that is actualized, I'll fly to Norway using personal expenses
and recommend you as a Nobel Peace Prize nominee.
But even with two people,
we become jealous, conflicted, competitive, conspiring, and insidious.
That's just the nature of human behavior.
You might as well work where one person is the owner, executive director,
department head, section chief, and assistant manager.
I'm telling you that what you're asking for is absurd.
[ Petition to impeach CEO Oh Cheol Soo ]This was in front of my office today.
It's a petition asking me to resign.
There are already 100 of them.
At this rate, the company will be in danger...
Of course.
Don't worry. That won't happen.
How about if they return to work,
and I won't ask anyone to be held responsible?
Tell them I'll change the marketing policy
- where they dress as animals.- I think they'll take this to court.
Sending away those who complained to rural areas is
definitely an unfair labor practice.
To be honest, I had no idea.
I didn't know they'd detest the business policy either.
All of these things happened because
- my subordinates are too loyal.- I understand.
- How about what I asked for?- Here.
It's a list of strike participants.
It won't take too long.
I'll resolve it soon.
The impeachment of the CEO...
Why?
Will you threaten every single person on the list?
You still don't get it.
You'll never hatch out of the egg but return to being a yolk
instead and just end up a soft-boiled egg.
Whether soft-boiled or hard-boiled, at least I'll have a conscience.
Would I be worse than the money whore?
Seriously?
What's he doing here?
Geez, look who's here.
It's the No.1 attorney of B&G.
So I heard you're treated
like a celebrity for targeting me.
What do you mean by "targeting"?
"The pupil becomes the teacher."
Isn't surpassing the teacher a good way to return the favor?
Enjoy it while you can.
You don't have that much time left.
You'll learn how miserable you end up as a traitor.
There's an African saying: "If you're afraid of the sun, go to a desert."
That means the skull buried in the Sahara Desert is looking for a painkiller.
"Be careful of the snake's tail, not the head."
Sounds like an Indian magician doing the twist after getting bitten by a cobra.
By the way,
what are you looking around for?
- Jae In.- Chirp, chirp?
Where did she go?
She was complaining behind me
while following me around just now.
But why?
He even showed up here.
He can't be here looking for me.
Is he working with Attorney Yoon by any chance?
That'd be bad.
Don't you think...
we should go back to work for now?
If the company's in jeopardy,
we won't have anywhere to go,
like that lawyer said.
Three people just went back to work.
What are you saying right now?
- So you want to betray us?- Honestly,
I'm embarrassed to see my colleagues again.
Why don't we just give up now?
Do you know what this is?
It's a petition signed by
100 of our colleagues to show their support.
If we become weak,
we'll be betraying these people too.
That's right, everyone.
The lawyer who's representing the company
enjoys destroying our delicate hearts,
creating fear within us
and ruthlessly threatening us.
He's the worst of the worst.
What he wants is...
for us to become weak.
Because of your bravery,
Dae Sung Group is...
in a major crisis right now.
Being bold is not enough.
Time is...
definitely on our side.
That means they have no choice but to listen to us.
Of course.
Trust me.
A friend of working men.
A brother of working men.
Please...
trust me, Yoon Sang Koo.
Yoon Sang Koo.
Yoon Sang Koo!
- Yoon Sang Koo!- Let's do this!
Let's do it!
Yoon Sang Koo!
Yes, got it. I'll go ahead then.
Okay.
- Is that really necessary?- What'd I do?
You're not interested in doing your job lawfully,
- but you're plotting something instead.- Lawfully?
You think you only defend by using the pandect in court.
A lawyer who has no idea like you
is worse than a thug acting cool with a tiger tattoo on his back
and running into a real thug and getting tortured in a hot tub.
You still don't realize it.
You're not only pathetic, but you're causing the apocalypse.
Is he a passionate romantic
or a pathetic stalker?
Why don't you try specializing in
defending underwear thieves or guys who take hidden photos in subways
and brand yourself as the goddess of perverts?
You might become a popular lawyer then.
You're called Goethe because you're a monster (Goe Mul) and a pervert (Byun Tae).
You're not in a position to say that.
Please stop caring about my cases
and focus on your own.
Don't say your prayer after being defeated by Attorney Yoon Sang Koo!
There are no words such as
"defeated," "surrender," "submission," and "lose" in my book.
Here...
Have some healthy tea to reenergize.
Where's the royal jelly?
Of course, it's in there.
- You put two spoonfuls, right?- Well, actually...
I put one spoonful in each one.
Please put two spoonfuls in just mine, please.
This newbie who can't earn her worth doesn't deserve it.
I already came up with 4,570 ways
to win the case,
but I'll never share them with someone like you who's
already ready to lose before you start.
I'm not ready to lose!
A man who touched a woman's bottom on a bus wants to hire you.
No thank you.
That's why they still call you a tadpole.
Forget your hind legs, you haven't even opened your eyes.
In preconceptions that everyone has.
You gave the client a verdict already
even though you're not a judge.
- That's not it!- Don't ever lose as long as you work here.
You'll be fired immediately if you lose.
Where are you going, ma'am?
I'm trying to focus...
without you-know-who.
Sir, is there a reason that you're concerned about
Attorney Seo's case?
[ Complaint ]
[ Attorney Kang Ki Seok ]
Jae In!
No!
He came all the way here...
You don't have to do this if you're worried about that night.
This is nuts!
Jae In!
Coach!
Seo Jae In, what's wrong?
I can't get caught.
Get caught? By whom?
It's not a person.
It's an embarrassing memory.
- A memory?- Yes.
A memory I never want to remember.
Jae In!
Excuse me.
Hold on a second. Who are you?
I'm here to see Jae In.
- Jae In!- Excuse me.
It's my duty to protect my student.
What should I do?
I think you should leave.
Attorney Seo, I'd like to greet you formally!
I'm Kang Ki Seok, who'll be representing the plaintiff
for the wedding photo shoot case.
Pardon? You mean you're Choi Hyun Ji's...
Yes.
Choi Hyun Ji is my client.
It's so hard to meet with the defendant's attorney.
Will we even go to court?
So you're not willing to settle at all?
No.
Actually, for my client, this case is
more about finding the truth rather than claiming the money.
She wants to regain respect from her fiancé and her family.
Yes, I understand. Of course, she does.
I'll get going since I have a meeting with a client.
I'm sorry, Attorney Kang.
Not just once but twice.
Don't mention it.
It was a fun experience for me. So don't worry about it.
And I'd prefer it if you called me Ki Seok.
We're not so far apart in age.
You said it's stuffy to say "Attorney, Attorney."
Pardon?
I did?
Anyway, I'm not going to let you off in court.
You'd better be ready.
See you in court then.
Yes.
Hey, he's the Attorney Kang Ki Seok that you mentioned, right?
He's not just cute, but he's like a model...
He could easily be an actor.
His vibe and appearance...
He's my opponent for this trial.
A battle between Goethe's pupils?
- I'm not his pupil.- What then?
- A pupil and a slave?- You think it's funny?
- Is it funny because it's not you?- Hey.
You'll fight each other vigorously in court
and it'll evolve into a romantic relationship.
Who knows?
I can't lose!
Why? What happens if you lose?
You should die!
- You'd better be ready for that.- Yes!
I will never disappoint you, Mr. Bang!
You'll become a star if you defeat Goethe.
The old Yoon Sang Koo will be gone.
You'll be a great human rights lawyer defeating the one with a 100% victory record.
You'll be born as the new Yoon Sang Koo!
I'll bet...
my neck...
and my arms that I'll win!
Okay.
Do it right and be cool.
Go for it!
Yes! Mr. Bang!
Geez. Seriously...
Neck and arms? Geez...
Geez.
Man, what is this?
Even if we go to trial, there hasn't been a single clear ruling.
Even if they power-trip and don't pay overtime,
is this supposed to be okay?
Is the law wrong or is the judge wrong?
Geez.
They're both wrong.
Plus, an attorney is kissing up to the powerful like us,
and he's doing quite a job.
I know, I know.
Even a child knows.
I'm just frustrated, that's all.
What's up?
Are you here to see what tricks I'll perform today?
Will you take a commemorative photo and post it in the lobby?
You're so twisted.
I think it looks good.
You weren't peeping, eavesdropping, or gossiping.
I felt like I was looking at a real attorney.
Man, I'm embarrassed.
When was I ever not an attorney?
Geez.
But what the heck is going on?
Are you stalling before delivering bad news again?
Perhaps...
- replacing me with Attorney Kang, or... - A secret weapon.
It was hard to obtain.
Assess the situation and use it only when necessary.
Why is Director Min helping me?
Could it be... that she likes me?
Wow, I'm so popular.
Has she fallen for me or what?
Wow, it's cold.
What are you doing? Coming to my home?
Kim Young Tae. The deputy of the third sales team.
You say you were transferred to a rural area
opposing the "animal marketing," but the fact is...
You got caught having an affair with a client's female employee.
- Does your wife know about this? - What, what?
Don't worry.
You've repented and live as a good family man now.
We have no intention of harming you.
But if things get worse, then what will happen?
Would the company still keep your secret?
Give me another glass.
Here, I'll give you one.
What's this?
- What are you doing here? - Hong Song Joo.
A third-year-deputy at the third purchasing dept.
When your colleague Park Ki Seung had an accident,
you were the first to rile up your co-workers and lead the strike.
So what? What's wrong with that?
No. It's such a humane and kind act.
But the problem is, you were under investigation for
price fixing, forging business trip details, and etc.
I'm innocent.
The foreign car you purchased six months ago,
the luxury-brand purse you bought your wife three months ago in Europe.
Unless you won the lotto, is this possible on a deputy's salary?
Since you were caught, you figured you're in trouble regardless.
If the management changed,
you thought you may have a better chance of survival, yes?
My kids are still young.
If I retire with a record at my age,
- how on earth would I survive? - That's why...
the company has decided to show mercy.
As for the embezzled funds,
pay back a portion by selling the car and the purse.
They'll deduct the rest from your paychecks.
The President promises to not penalize you in any way.
Is this what I was meant to find out eventually?
It's only about winning.
You only think of crushing your opponent.
For money.
- Anything wrong with that? - No.
Someone said there will be a deeper meaning.
That you'll be different on the inside. I was fooled.
I feel so pathetic for deciding to momentarily...
put my faith in you.
What?
Is there a problem?
No, it's nothing.
You used to tell me everything.
I feel a bit sad.
It's just that...
I wonder if I'll do well on this trial.
It's the first case I'll be doing alone.
Plus, my opponent is the infamous Attorney Kang Ki Seok.
- Should I give you a tip? - Yes.
Watch the punk who's winning.
How he wins and what it takes to win.
He's close to you.
But winning...
isn't everything.
Should we drink soju? It's been a while.

I like this one, too.
As expected, luxury goods are classy.
Mr. Koo, what do you think?
Between these two.
I like the simple design and
the analogue style.
I like this one.
- Were you ever an artisan in Switzerland? - No, I wasn't.
But I was briefly a design consultant in Salzburg, Austria.
I like this one, too. Should I just get both?
Hello, Ko Tae Rim's law firm.
Dae Sung Group?
Our attorney's out of the office.
I see.
Yes.
I'll relay the message.
There are now over 70 participants in the strike against Dae Sung Group.
He's asking you to call ASAP.
I'll just buy both.
You might have to return them both.
When the weak gather, they become stronger,
and that can accomplish justice.
There's nothing more pathetic than doing nothing yet believing time's on your side.
Shall we go and check out this "justice" you speak of?
Follow me.
Your trial date isn't set yet.
Fine. This is what I wanted.
[ You executives, stop the inhumane power-trips! ]
As you can see, we're increasing in number.
So, has the company come to an agreement?
If this continues, you know very well how things will turn out.
We have agreed to...
Yes.
do nothing.
- What? - What did he say?
What, what?
There, there's nothing?
I'm telling you in case you get your hopes up for the trial.
President Oh had no idea about the "animal marketing."
That was purely the managing directors, directors, and managers
competing in their loyalty.
All the employees who don't return after today
will be dismissed.
- What? - Dismissed?
You still think idle threats will work?
You're truly out of touch with reality.
Aside from the employees gathered here,
there are over a
100 people who signed the petition
to have the president fired.
Will you still continue resisting?
Your number of people. Let's see about that.
First, those of you who want to return but are
afraid of being labeled as traitors.
Is there anyone like that here?
Will you throw away your job and family
because you were persuaded by your colleagues?
Don't agree with that.
I'm sorry.
I can't be doing this.
My apologies.
He can't leave like that!
My kids are still too young, so...
My apologies.
Where are you going? Where, where, where? Don't leave!
Truthfully, I was...
recently transferred from the Canada branch.
I joined not really knowing the details.
And, also, those guys...
They're here because they were overworked.
- What are you talking about? - You told me that earlier.
The ones on strike don't work at all.
Why should we take on their workload?
You said we might as well join them in the strike.
And the guy who's dozing off next to you...
He wants to play hooky with his girlfriend tomorrow,
but he's here because the manager won't give him a day off.
That's not what I meant.
Why should we have to work?
The rule of the "rotten apple."
One rotten apple will
spoil the entire apple box in an instant.
You're the one who's rotten.
What's going on?
Wait!
A secret weapon.
It was hard to obtain.
Assess the situation, and use only when necessary.
Do you know what this is?
Up until now, President Oh has denied prior knowledge,
and it was purely on his subordinates due to their loyalty.
But if you look at the executives' meeting log
from a year ago,
and if you look at these documents,
you'll see that he's lying through his teeth.
The truth finally surfaces.
- A truth which can't be stopped. - Look.
In this meeting log, President Oh said that
he'll further boost the "animal marketing,"
and if anyone resists,
they'll be disciplined again.
And he's denying prior knowledge?
President Oh is even denying his own statements,
and he's a shameless man who's mocking you all!
Good job!
Did I win?
Did I beat Goethe?
I have no choice.
Since the meeting log has been exposed,
I can no longer hide this.
One month before that executives' meeting,
due to the foot-and-mouth disease and the bird flu,
Dae Sung Meat Manufacturing's numbers were drastically down,
and the company was in crisis.
This is the employee structural adjustment proposal
issued from headquarters.
- Kim Chil Goo. - Yes.
- Kang Eun Myung? - Here.
- Na Dong Man? - Yes.
- Park Jae Sung. - Yes.
Besides them, there are 150 names on this list.
But you're all still working here. Why?
Because of President Oh's proposal recorded in that log.
"We'll surpass this crisis, even if we must imitate animals.
Therefore, please...
protect my employees, who are like family!"
He fervently pleaded
with the CEO,
while crying and begging!
Lies!
Lie, lies.
Don't lie. Those are lies.
This is President Oh's picture from the executives' meeting.
Are you ashamed?
Was your pride wounded by these measly masks?
What's really shameful and hurts the pride is...
firing the faithful employees who have trusted me,
because the company is having a hard time!
Without knowing this fact,
due to your huge sense of pride,
you disrespected all the ducks, chickens,
and pigs, which were your livelihood.
- You smashed them into the garbage! - Goethe!
What nonsense are you speaking!
Everyone, everyone. These are blatant lies.
Everyone, don't be fooled!
- Don't fall for it, don't be fooled! - And that's not all.
Yoon Ki Young, the representative of the employees.
Director Lee Tae Sung promised you that if President Oh gets fired
and he becomes president, he'll promote you to the manager, didn't he?
That's why you led this strike after Park Ki Seung was injured.
No!
That's not true. That didn't happen!
I looked into it because the petition was titled "President's Resignation"
and not "Animal Marketing."
You're the composer of that document.
That didn't happen.
I'm telling the truth!
- What on earth? - Whoa!
- That's him over there!- With Director Lee!
- You lied! - You made a deal with him?
What a joke!
How can he do this to us?
- This is ridiculous!- Unbelievable!
Excuse me.
- Attorney. - Yes.
Maybe I was wrong in my thinking.
Because I was embarrassed,
I couldn't be straightforward with my son.
I won't do that anymore.
And I'll be careful with the pig's tail.
Okay.
Well, then.
Yoon Sang Koo.
Yoon Sang Koo, you punk!
Please just go away.
Please go away...
What are you doing?
Your acting skills are quite creative,
but they won't fool me.
Come with me!
Okay. Let's get started.
With what?
You bet your neck and arms on this case
That was just...
to show my determination.
I wasn't really serious.
Who'd actually cut off their arm?
You're full of excuses up until your final moment.
- But brother-in-law... - Quiet!
You had no presence whatsoever.
But you may get one line in the society column. Isn't that right?
Don't harbor any attachments and just end it!
Cleanly!
I was never...
interested in publicity.
Even though it's wretched,
I want to live a long life.
I actually have...
many attachments.
Brother-in-law, please.
I'm truly sorry.
Brother-in-law, really...
Attorney Seo, it's not to your liking?
It's not that. I'm not very hungry.
Good job!
Thank you.
I'll get going now.
- Why don't you eat more? - It's okay.
I already had two plates.
I'll be going.
Is it really true?
That President Oh stopped the structural adjustment.
The employee representative striking a deal with a director for a promotion.
Is it all true?
No.
Whether it's true or not, it doesn't matter.
You dig for others' weaknesses to exploit them,
and lie to stir up trouble between people. Is that an attorney's job?
The first rule of thumb for lawyers, the realization of social justice.
That means nothing to you, right?
Do you know what this is?
A letter from an ahjumma who lost her husband
in an accident while he was operating
a Dae Sung Meat Manufacturing shop in a rural area,
and is raising one boy and two girls on her own.
As a lone woman,
she's doing her best to protect
the shop and the employees.
But because of the strike and the "animal farm" being on the news,
her debts are increasing.
She didn't say it directly,
but if the strike continues, she won't be able to keep the shop.
She said she might even hang herself in desperation.
Pardon?
If we had left those employees alone,
this ahjumma and her kids,
who'll witness the gruesome scene,
will all be suffering.
[ Breitling: Cost, Style Number ]
This is...
a receipt for your watch!
It was made up.
- Made up? - The whole thing was a lie.
I don't know such an ahjumma.
What the heck are you doing?
What were you just thinking?
That you want Dae Sung to succeed
so this ahjumma will live well? Didn't you?
I did think that.
But it was all lies.
Can you guarantee that there isn't someone
out there in that situation?
You crying out for justice and all
is just pity you have for those lower than you.
You're pitying those who you think are poor and weak.
Then what about justice?
Where is it?
We're not God. There's no way we'd know that.
Justice only exists in superhero movies and
cheesy elementary school cartoons.
Fighting hard for our client's benefit.
That's all we attorneys can do.
The moment you forget that, you're not qualified to be an attorney.
Got it, chirp, chirp?
- Wow! - Eat up.
Okay, thank you.
Your client's been waiting for you.
Aren't you coming?
A man who touched a woman's bottom on a bus wants to hire you.
No thank you.
In preconceptions that everyone has.
You gave the client a verdict already
even though you're not a judge.
I think this will do.
I'll see you on the day of the trial.
Why did you change all of a sudden?
Pardon? About what?
Perhaps because I changed outfits?
My hair's still the same.
No. It's how you treat me.
On that day, you didn't seem to believe me.
I thought of changing attorney after meeting you today.
I see.
But...
We'll proceed. Thank you in advance, Attorney.
I'll do my best.
I'll get going first.
What?
Geez, what's up?
You've really changed.
Even I could see that
you didn't want to represent him.
Did something happen since then?
Nothing's happened.
I just decided to trust him.
I'm not a judge but an attorney.
Wow, Goethe.
He must have strange powers.
He turned a bull into a lamb.
He didn't turn me into anything. No way.
- I found out where it is. - Really?
[ B&G Legal Firm ]
His identity can't be confirmed?
It'll be tough to find him with only a photo.
- And his whereabouts? - When we tracked the motorcycle, luckily,
we found the body shop that had rented it to him.
But since his name is an alias,
it'll be hard unless we go undercover.
Got it.
For now, send me the motorcycle body shop's address.
Thanks for your work.
[ Seoshin Motorcycle ]
My goodness.
Bingo.
Welcome.
The apples are sweet.
Who are you?
Why are you following me?
I want to talk to you.
- Are you a detective? - Something like that.
You really have some nerve.
Yes, I'm like that.
I used to be a gangster chick.
You must have a death wish.
S***, I suck at running.
Geez!
Gosh, I'm exhausted.
Geez, I should've worked out.
Ow, my stomach.
Geez, how exhausting.
Where did he go?
Of course. How could you find him with this blurry picture?
Hey, didn't you see earlier?
When I showed this, the lady owner was startled.
So she lied?
She knew something for sure.
Let's say you're right.
What if we really do run into him?
Upon closer look, I don't think it's Byung Tae.
Is this cosmetics scent?
Tattoo?
I was doing fine all alone.
But the documents Director Min gave me...
That meeting log or whatever.
That document.
That's what did me in.
As soon as I whipped it out...
Goethe turned the tables as if he'd been waiting.
This can't be...
a coincidence.
Who are you?
Hey, Sister!
Who was that just now?
Someone who works for me.
Why do you ask?
- By work, do you mean... - Investigating a client.
Not because I don't trust B&G's investigation team.
But some favors are hard to ask.
- Could you give me his information? - Nope.
That'll be difficult.
I need to keep the promise on my end.
Well, then.
I have some work left. See you tomorrow, Sister.
I heard you called for me.
Have I done anything wrong?
What do you think about that punk?
By punk, which punk do you mean?
That Kang Ki Seok.
Well, I'm readily assisting him,
but he doesn't let his thoughts be known.
I can't trust him.
What? No.
I'm really doing my best to assist Attorney Kang.
I meant Kang Ki Seok.
As expected...
You feel the same way.
Is that why you're having me watch him?
Don't assume too much.
Okay.
Goethe will be controlling Seo Jae In behind the scenes for sure.
Find out what it is and which method he uses.
Me?
- Why? - Do you want to stay an assistant?
No!
I'll find out.
On this, I'll bet my...
reputation on it?
Don't.
Don't bet anything. Nothing at all!
Don't bet anything!
Don't you dare!
I won't.
Well...
If you ask him sincerely,
he'll probably help you.
Excuse me.
- Sir...- No.
- Whoa, whoa, what the heck? - Goodness.
Are you all right?
Why is this broken?
I don't think it hit anything.
This is a bad omen.
Something's coming for me.
No, it's not.
My neighborhood jogging buddy had made this
in a pottery barn and brought it.
He's a beginner, so he's not very good at it.
But why would such pottery break
when I was passing by?
This is an omen.
A bad omen.
Please stop fussing over nothing.
Pass me by.
- Please pass me by. - Geez, really.
I can't focus because of you.
If you're that nervous, you should stay home.
Why insist on coming?
Have you seen a baseball game without a coach?
Coach, my foot.
When I asked you to teach me, you said no.
What now?
Is that pigeon...
poop?
- It is. - You still think it's nothing?
Why in this big, vast sky,
why on top of my head,
why would it go poo?
This is surely an omen.
A very, very, bad omen.
Is this something to laugh at? Huh?
Geez.
This isn't a grade school entrance ceremony.
Since when did you have guardians accompany you?
Sunbae, you must've been worried.
You never attend and watch. So why...
A sunbae says some things to a hoobae after it's been a while.
One of them is "You're all grown up."
That's a roundabout way of saying, "You cocky bastard."
It also implies the acknowledgement of a rival.
But, as of right now, I have nothing...
- to say to you. - But what should we do?
My opponent today is Attorney Seo Jae In.
Please stop it already.
Attorney Kang, please go inside.
Yes, Attorney Seo.
All rise.
She's pretty.
[ Legal High ]
Wasn't it supposed to be Judge Kim and not Judge Do?
I think she's holding a huge grudge.
The audience member is disrupting the order.
I order him detained for one hour.
No! I can't! Don't lock me up.
Please don't!
Could you please release him?
Tell him I will with a formal apology.
Never. I can't do it!
There's this saying in Uganda, Africa.
A drowning mouse is more fearsome than a puma's claw.
You're surely Goethe's star pupil.
My trial is not your revenge match.
- They won't think you were the opponent. - If I lose...
They'll say Ko Tae Rim's firm lost.
No.
That's not true?
- I said, it's not. - Look, look, look.
Put more emotions into it.
As if you've been really wronged.
But if I really do this,will I get promoted?
Here's the president's signature.
Okay, shall we try it again?
No.
That's not true?
I said, it's not.
It's not.
