[ The organizations, occupations, characters, geographic regions, incidents are fictional ]
All rise!
She's pretty.
So this was it.
Whoa, whoa, what the heck?
Is that pigeon poop?
It was this.
I don't think a novice made this.
I thought we had Judge Kim, not Judge Do.
I'd heard we might get a new judge due to reshuffling.
What are you talking about?
What goes around comes around.
This will be our revenge trial.
I don't think it will be petty revenge.
What are you guys talking about?
[ Episode 5 ]The plaintiff sued the defendant for 100 million won for
postponing the wedding and for psychological damage
since he interrupted the wedding photo shoot.
The defense is claiming he won't pay since they were a couple, right?
Yes.
So the question is whether they were indeed a couple
or the defendant misunderstood,
which is what the plaintiff is claiming.
The plaintiff may present your case.
There's a saying like this in Mozambique, Africa.
"A person who tries to block the sun...
should stand behind his own shadow."
The truth can never be concealed.
Not everything one does in the name of love
can be justified.
Love without understanding the other's intention
can end up hurting them immensely.
Left shoulder.
Two fists...
For six months, they shared meals,
watched movies together,
drank coffee together,
and he proposed to her.
But the plaintiff is saying it was all a misunderstanding.
Why didn't she notify him earlier and
tell him he was mistaken?
They say, "If you want to know someone, look at his friends."
Kim Na Young, who was the defendant's college friend,
said she lived in fear because he waited
in front of her house for three months.
She said he'd prepared special events for her
even though she hadn't wanted them.
Lee Song Hee, who met Hong Min Cheol at a cooking class, said
she had to break up with her boyfriend because
Hong Min Cheol suddenly showed up with a present
when she was on a date with her boyfriend.
Objection.
He's stating a very subjective testimony
that can't be proved as if it's a fact.
Do you think that's true?
Here are...
the testimonies from three women who were
victimized by Hong Min Cheol.
I'll submit them as evidence.
Testimonies...
Does the defense have a counterargument?
Well, the thing is...
Gorilla.
Tapping the butt...
Excuse me, sir.
Excuse me.
The man who made a strange gesture just now.
- Me?- Yes.
Stand up.
Stand up and face the wall.
You can't do that.
This isn't an elementary school classroom.
Don't you agree, everyone?
Also, I don't think you understandsince all you did was study law.
You meditate while facing the wall...
in Haein Temple, at a cave in Mt. Gyeryong,
or on a hill that's 1,200 meters high
in Sedona Valley in the US.
Security, what are you doing?
Wait.
Hold on.
Does the defense have a counterargument?
No, I don't.
What is it now?
According to the law granting the freedom of the audience,
I'd like to leave the court. I'm allowed to, right?
Are you ignoring the authority of the court and the judge?
No, I want to leave so I won't be a disturbance.
Also, I don't like meditating
while facing the wall due to my religious preference.
Since you severely disturbed the court,
you'll be under detention for an hour. Take him away.
I didn't disturb anything. Don't be so unreasonable.
- Detention for three hours.- No, I can't do it!
Detention for six hours!
Let go! Hold on...
Let go of me!
Let go!
So what if she's the judge? So what?
This is clearly an abuse of authority.
Seriously...
Don't lock it. Please don't.
Don't go. Don't go!
Stages of accepting detention.
[ Stages of accepting detention ]
It's true that I frequented the restaurant since it was close to work.
But I never dated him.
He's completely mistaken.
He's a stalker who's been harassing me.
I was never mistaken.
I'm not a stalker at all.
We started dating because she gave me a movie ticket.
We used to go to movies together.
He's lying.
I watched the movie alone.
But...
I don't know how he'd found out, but
he had taken the seat next to mine.
I was afraid.
We definitely went into the theater together.
And...
Forget it. I'll eat alone.
As if he'd been watching me...
he used to show up in front of me.
He used to scare me so much.
I met her because she called me.
She used to call me during peak time at the restaurant.
She had to see me even for a second.
He was supposedly protecting me.
He followed me when I was going home every day.
Every day.
I walked her home because she was afraid of the alley.
I had no idea he'd show up like that
during the wedding photo shoot.
I thought if I told him I'm marrying my fiancé,
he'd no longer bother me.
I wanted to save her from a loveless marriage.
That's all it was.
[ 1. Denial ]No, this is wrong.
Why should I? This is definitely wrong.
You give me detention for that? No, no!
[ 2. Anger ]This is all because of Judge Do. No, I mean Do Moon Kyung.
Is this how you take revenge?
No, it's Seo Jae In.
That chirp-chirp is the problem.
This would've never happened if she hadn't taken the case.
It's all you guys' fault.
Just wait and see!
[ 3. Bargaining ]It's not so bad.
This isn't a prison or anything.
Just think of it as meditation.
A space just for me.
Perfect freedom!
[ 4. Depression ]I'm sad.
I have no one.
There's no one who remembers me.
I'm finished.
It's all finished.
No, why should I?
These are the five stages of accepting death.
How dare you play me like this.
[ 5. Nirvana ]It's all meaningless.
Don't be hateful or greedy.
Life is all about...
letting yourself go,
like flowing water.
We'll adjourn for today.
I'll see you all next time.
All rise!
Are the testimonies true?
Why didn't you tell me about those things?
Choi Hyun Ji is the only person I dated.
How about the women who testified?
I said that it's not true!
He's no help at all.
Why did he have to come and ruin my trial?
Your Honor!
I'd like to apologize on his behalf.
I'm Seo Jae In from Ko Tae Rim law firm.
That's why Goethe was in the audience.
Have you been working with him for long?
No, it's been about a month.
It must be difficult for you.
I'm so surprised that someone so strange exists in this world.
Anyway, I'm not on good terms with him.
It's actually the opposite.
Why work with him if you hate him?
Well...
there are many reasons.
What is it you want from me?
Could you free him by any chance?
You want me to nullify the court order?
So you want me to excuse him, right?
Yes, in a nutshell.
Tell him I will do that for a proper apology.
You're really a lucky fellow.
You got the judge who hates Goethe.
You're in the perfect situation
and your opponent is a complete novice.
I won't have to worry about this trial, right?
It's true on the surface level,
but Goethe won't just sit back and watch.
It's still a proxy war.
No matter how much you control the puppet,
it won't become a human.
Am I right, Attorney Kang? You can win, right?
There's a saying like this in Uganda, Africa.
"Be afraid of the drowning mousemore than a puma's claws."
Uganda? I forgot I had a meeting.
Uganda... Uganda... Uganda...
"Yes, got it."
Is it that hard to say that?
Didn't I tell you?
I hate fidelity or loyalty.
All that matters is whether you're needed or not.
I have a meeting with a client too.
Apologize? You said apologize?
- You probably won't.- I should.
Pardon?
If a few words can dissipate the anger in the heart,
no life logic can be simpler than that.
Life logic?
Will you really apologize to Judge Do?
I'll go tell her right now then.
Are you crazy?
Who said I will? Who said so?
I mean, you just said...
You sound as if you burnt your tongue eating canned apples
on top of Mount Everest, 8,848 meters above the ground.
Why would I?
She should be apologizing to me.
Were you acting just now then?
Sir, could you please do it just once?
No, never!
Even if this were Alcatraz,
filled with vicious criminals, and not a detention room.
I can't do it!
Just let it go. You might get detention again.
I'll never forgive her!
Gosh, this is nuts!
Logic in life? What's he talking about?
[ Judge Do Moon Kyung ]
You're high and mighty now that you're a judge.
You should be apologizing. How dare you...
Are you reading when someone's in front of you?
You sure learned how to throw your weight.
These judges think they're gods or something...
That's enough now!
Move your dirty hand!
Consider yourself lucky
I stopped here thanks to our old friendship.
Old friendship?
You mean the grudge.
You're doing this since I dumped you.
You're acting crazy.
What do you mean, dump?
Did you two by any chance...
You were upset you were always No. 2 in the training institute because of me.
You foolishly concluded as most No. 2s do.
"Keep your enemies close if you can't defeat them."
You came onto me really hard.
Really hard.
- Really... - Please!
Didn't you take revenge because of that day?
Hey, Ko Tae Rim!
Abusing authority for personal reasons.
Because of such actions, faith in Korea's legal profession has not only hit rock bottom,
but it's dropped 5,890 meters underground,
and it's still digging into the ground,
using a high-powered excavator.
Detention for three hours.
Your Honor! Please calm down.
You know he's known for being rude.
Please consider him crazy and let it go.
You thought I'd be scared?
I'm not scared at all!
Detention for a day!
Why not a life sentence or a death sentence?
I'm so sorry, Your Honor.
He gets crazy like this sometimes.
Hey! How dare you!
Hey! Let go!
Let go!
She's the judge for my trial!
I beg you, sir.
Why? What?
I really don't understand.
Judge Do isn't just out of your league,
she's nearly a miracle to you.
Does she have a unique taste or just low standards
when it comes to men?
Unique? Low standards?
You know.
I can't find any charm anywhere from head to toe.
Where did she find it from anyway?
Whether it's a miracle or unique,
you sound pathetic like a cannibal chewing grass.
There's no way you'd understand my masculinity
and my raw magnetism that's deep inside.
What was that in court earlier?
This sort of thing.
Let's call it a trick to confuse the opponent.
Anyway, please don't ever show up to my trial.
You're an embarrassment.
Sorim, Dalma, Yeokgeun Sesu, Geumgang Bulgueo...
Nahanjin. I can't hear you. I can't hear you at all!
Why?
Is Tae Rim not answering?
There must be a reason.
That's right.
He couldn't have run away, leaving his fiancée behind.
Don't make us singles jealous.
It's not that. He's not the flaky type.
I'm wondering if something happened.
Let's just eat for now.
I'll come back if I get a boyfriend.
A boyfriend? You'll never come back.
Here we are again.
He finally realized he lost a big fish.
There's no point in regretting now.
Bring it over here now!
In a few years, this tree will grow big
and block the sun for these buildings.
They can sue for solar access rights.
Keep growing, tree.
Keep growing.
Of course.
He can't be romantic.
Let's get started.
Hit the first ball. Beat him up.
Let it pass. Back up for now.
Don't say it.
Bunt. Bunt!
Go for an extra-base hit, a home-run if possible.
Follow your gut.
[ Rub ears, hit your arm, touch your elbow ]
Signs?
- Goethe was using baseball signs?- Yes.
If you look here,
he used two signs in court that day.
Hit the first ball.
Let it pass. Back up for now.
Those are the two.
Are you sure?
Yes, I collected the signs from 10 different baseball teams.
- So? - Pardon?
What can you do with these?
- I wouldn't know that. - Geez.
I researched anyway.
It's my fault for trusting you.
It's my fault. It's my fault!
What? What?
What did I do wrong now?
Get out.
Get out right now!
- About being the associate attorney? - Get out!
Aigoo.
I have to call her since you broke the promise.
What?
No way.
Don't do it.
Don't do it! Put that down.
Hey, Sang Koo!
Okay, so...
Hang up. Hang up!
- Hang up!- She answered.
Yes, Noona.
This is Sang Koo.
Is something up?
The associate attorney position?
What do you mean? I just missed you.
Yes, yes, yes...
So, Honey.
How about the kids? Yes, yes...
Nothing's up.
You know how much I take care of him.
He's your brother.
Don't worry about him and...
just take good care of yourself.
Yes, I'll call you later this evening.
Bye, Honey. Bye.
How dare you, Yoon Sang Koo!
I'll get going then.
This bastard...
An earthworm doesn't always get stepped on.
How do you like dealing with an underling?
You gave me Goethe.
You want to show off defeating a newbie like Seo Jae In?
You're so good with petty tricks.
No wonder you're Goethe's student.
But what if you lose?
To someone who was an intern here?
That's absolute humiliation, isn't it?
If I lose, it'd be understandable. Don't you think?
"If a lion roars, a cat roars too."
It's a saying in Sudan, Africa.
Sudan. Lion. Cat?
Is he making fun of me right now?
Go, go, Seo Jae In!
Destroy him, Seo Jae In!
Fighting!
I heard you got pummeled in the trial.
You might earn the nickname
"The court's punching bag."
Someone who was detained for disturbance shouldn't talk.
Whether you find or make up a witness,
prove his innocence.
Win it.
Winning and losing isn't everything.
Lawyers are supposed to help the client get a fair trial.
I'm saying that I want to be fair and square.
Fair and square?
A lawyer like you who doesn't try to
prove your client's innocence
deserves to be tied to the front of a space shuttle
that's coming back to Earth
and get heated up to 5,273 degrees Celsius and...
get dropped into the ocean in Alaska,
78.5 degrees below zero.
Please don't give a bad name to other lawyers
and disappear from the face of the earth, okay?
The reason you're doing this...
is because Ki Seok betrayed you, isn't it?
My trial isn't for your revenge.
Crazy.
Am I mistaken?
Well?
I don't think Attorney Kang Ki Seok thinks...
he's fighting against you.
If it's not me...
I don't mean to be rude,
but the fact that B&G law firm took
on a small civil case like this
must mean they're up to something.
So if I lose...
If you lose,
they'll say Ko Tae Rim law firm lost.
One.
One, two.
- Excuse me.- One...
- Is she available for sparring?- Sparring?
Hey!
Look at the opponent.
One of the members didn't show up.
- Could you please?- Go away.
I will.
Ms. Seo.
She's much better than you. You might get hurt.
That's why I want to.
Her legs are relatively slow.
Run around and look for an opportunity.
Not stuff like that. What if I want to win?
How about a lethal technique?
Usually, get hit in the beginning,
throw your best punch when they're off their guard.
But you don't have a special move.
Don't be stupid.
Her torso seems weak.
Try aiming for that, then.
What did you say?
Hong Min Cheol is where?
Hiking?
Hello... Hello?
So frustrating!
Gross!
You're torturing me.
Stop getting beaten.
Every witness is so important right now.
He shouldn't disappear at a time like this.
He doesn't care about the trial.
He's no longer interested.
He's heartbroken.
What? Where are you going?
I'll go where they went together and look for a witness.
I'll meet with the people who testified too.
You seem fierce.
Will you really win the fight against Goethe's student?
What's with you?
It's not a matter of winning or losing.
Bye.
She looks like she wants to win.
Spartacus!
Have you seen these people by any chance?
No?
Have you seen these people by any chance?
I don't know them.
No?
Ma'am, have you seen these people?
They used to come here often.
Get out! I'm busy.
You've not seen them?
Could you just say you have?
Excuse me.
Saving a man means saving yourself as well.
Could you please think about it? Please?
You don't know?
Think about your wife in Andromeda.
If you talk in court...
How cute.
I'm Seo Jae In, the lawyer who called you.
You're Lee Song Hee, who wrote the statement, right?
I don't have much time. Let's make it quick.
As you said in the statement,
is it true you were victimized by Hong Min Cheol?
He's a pervert and a stalker.
Pardon?
Min Cheol is?
- Polaroid pictures?- Yes.
Min Cheol forced me to take them.
That's why we took a few of them.
Where are those pictures?
I burnt them because I hate to see them.
But...
I can't remember where I kept one of them.
- Did Hong Min Cheol...- I'm not sure.
I had all of them.
Should I drop the charges?
Why don't you relax and take a deep breath?
Human brains can suddenly remember something
even when you think you don't remember
because it stores memories subconsciously.
Take some time and try to remember where that one picture is.
Just like you play a film reel, a cut at a time.
Put a lot of care into it.
How is it now?
Do you remember?
No.
I don't know.
I even thought of getting a restraint order too.
Is that so?
I understand. Thanks for your time.
You broke up with your boyfriend because of Hong Min Cheol, right?
That wasn't...
because of Min Cheol.
It's because I liked Min Cheol.
So do you regret it?
It's all my fault.
You know, perhaps...
Choi Hyun Ji might've been tempted for a moment like you too.
But if she loses her chance to go back to her place,
wouldn't she be paying too much for it?
Ms. Choi Hyun Ji, you want to save this marriage, right?
I want to save it for you too. So...
[ Dae Sung Meat Processing Accounting Document ]
Dae Sung Meat Processing accounting document?
Geez, that's where it was.
I'm sorry.
This should be discarded.
I see.
But this is already over. But why...
Well, the thing is...
I shouldn't be the one to tell you about this.
Well then...
What's taking him so long?
Yes, Attorney Kang.
Pardon?
A proposal?
I'm sorry,
my client is out of town.
He couldn't make it today.
What can you do?
This is...
a memorandum that says we won't receive
the compensation if the defendant admits to everything.
Of course, it's not an official agreement. It's a personal pledge.
Why did you have to...
Couldn't you just remove the charges?
As I told you the first time, Ms. Choi Hyun Ji wants to save her marriage.
Please, Attorney...
What'll be the point of the trial if
everyone is miserable afterward?
Win, win.
I sincerely hope both the plaintiff and
the defendant are happy following the trial.
That's why I prepared this memorandum.
To minimize Hong Mi Cheol's loss
and protect a woman's life.
Don't you think that's the right ending?
Don't be fooled. It's a trick.
I'm always on your side.
Cheer up. Fighting.
You have to win.
You must. You must!
Seo Jae In, fighting!
Don't worry, it'll work out.
Yes.
I'll call you tomorrow.
Take care.
As expected! You're so good with petty tricks.
You want to shoot the injured opponent to confirm he's dead.
You want to win the trial with money.
Geez, you're so shameless.
That's what the client wanted.
Relationships between men and women are mysterious and erratic.
Why does he like to hug so much?
Mysterious, my foot.
I think you're a wicked creature.
Scared me.
Yes. Did you find out anything?
What?
The Medusa gang?
Are you sure?
Then she was a gangster chick.
They had at least 100 members.
She was their leader and
- notorious for being tough. - Medusa?
The leader?
When CEO Bang was a prosecutor,
he got her scholarships, so she reformed.
I see. Good work.
That's why she's loyal to the CEO.
A gangster...
chick.
Watch... watch out...
Help me.
No, no.
I had no idea and used to fight and argue with her.
What if she attacks me in the middle of the night...
Oh, no...
You're here.
What's the matter?
If I've done anything wrong,
please be generous and forgive me.
Stop joking around.
That punk.
One who beat Goethe.
Did he have this tattoo?
Well, I don't remember.
It looks like either a heart or a pincer.
Oh, the smell of cosmetics.
- You smell great. - Geez!
Not me but that punk!
- Did you smell anything on him? - Well...
I really don't remember.
You're no help.
From now on, I'll do everything in my power to be helpful.
The Medusa gang.
Attorney Min Joo Kyung.
Attorney Min Joo Kyung!
Yes?
It's been a while.
Yes.
Isn't fate so strange?
Ko Tae Rim's firm and B&G are facing off in my case.
Attorney Min, you're with B&G, right?
Yes.
You think B&G has the
upper hand due to my bad relationship with Tae Rim.
Please tell CEO Bang that's not the case.
Excuse me, Your Honor!
Much time has passed,
and I think I can tell you now.
Do you have a minute?
A trial is just like boxing.
A winner is chosen
but you can also forfeit.
I know.
What's worrying you?
As Attorney Kang said...
do you want to protect a woman's life?
The boxer is not thinking about fighting
but worrying about the opponent's wife.
How can this be a match?
I'm tipsy.
I'm going.
Okay. Goodnight.
[ Wedding Photo Shoot Compensation for Damages Lawsuit ]
Yes. Good job.
My God.
Your Honor!
Attorney Seo.
Was this an act of revenge?
My goodness.
Well, then.
[ Apple (sounds like an apology) ]
Apples?
They're fresh and delicious.
Please try some.
Why these apples...
Engagement, betrayal, and farewell?
That's why I can't stand to see Tae Rim.
Of course.
How can he cheat on the woman he loves...
Just thinking about it is...
But why apples?
I recently found out that I had the wrong story.
I used to like Tae Rim a lot.
What?
You did, Your Honor?
Why would someone like you...
I mean, why?
He used to be different.
I fell for him when I saw him tear up over a blossoming flower.
Geez. No way.
He teared up?
Truthfully, I was the one who cheated.
- What? - After Tae Rim and I got engaged,
I met my first love from college.
I was swayed.
While I met him secretly...
I was in turmoil.
Tae Rim found that out somehow
and was being considerate of me.
To protect my reputation, since I was an aspiring judge.
But it didn't work out with the other guy, either.
A relationship that begins by hurting
someone else can't work out well.
Honestly, I regret it.
What if Tae Rim had been honest
with me instead of acting cool?
Attorney Ko really did that?
The reason I'm telling you this is...
Tae Rim won't explain every little detail,
and since you'll see him every day at work
I felt bad that you had the wrong idea about him.
It's hard to believe since it's so
different from his current state.
He looks like a money whore on the outside,
but I believe in him.
That he has his own sense of twisted justice.
And that nickname Goethe.
It's actually his trophy.
Trophy?
He's winning on his own without the
help of his alumni or connections.
It's like an award issued to him by those who can't stand
who can't stand being jealous of him.
Award Certificate. The recipient is...
working very hard for the opposing client's happiness and not our own.
Therefore, I acknowledge itand present this award to you.
President of the Goldfish Association, blurp, blurp.
- Goldfish? - Yes, goldfish.
Even a low IQ goldfish wouldn't have forgotten
an attorney's duties such as you have.
And seeing you dance the mambo to your opponent's stories...
It makes me think that you're worse than a goldfish.
If their proposal is to our client's advantage,
we can think it over.
Advantage. Did you say "advantage"?
To be falsely charged and play the stalker?
It's true that he meddled in her marriage even if he loved her.
During the last murder case.
You were positive of his innocence, so you bet your life on it.
But now you clearly see his guilt?
You finally cleared him, but he might be the real culprit.
So you went to the scene and collected trashy evidence.
So, did you find it?
Evidence to show that he's not the real culprit?
No.
Even after that, you still foolishly seek the truth from
people's words, expressions, and tears.
I feel as if I've been paralyzed from getting bitten by 2,400
poisonous Amazon scorpions.
Mark my words.
If you lose, you're fired!
Okay, I see.
Thank you.
Well,
I'm told that a bunch of pork hocks is 5,900 won.
This lady I see daily at the market
asked me for my number.
I didn't know, but
she must've seen me at the market.
She wants to exchange recipes and share info on good deals.
I see.
Isn't it fascinating that someone
recognizes me because of daily market trips?
I guess.
I'll get going then.
Every day?
Did you say, every day?
Thank you, Mr. Koo.
I said, I won't subscribe for internet service.
[ Memorandum ]
If you don't want to,
you don't have to agree.
She'd stoop this low...
What should I do?
I'll do as you say.
I'm exhausted now.
I have a question.
What's your relationship with Lee Song Hee
the woman who wrote the statement?
I don't know why she wrote that,
but I found out later that she liked me.
Aside from that, we had no relationship.
Okay.
I see.
I should accept...
this deal, right?
The boxer is not thinking about fighting,
but worrying about the opponent's wife.

poisonous Amazon scorpions.
Mark my words.

You gave Choi Hyun Ji a ride home every day, right?
What?
Excuse me, Grandma.
I don't have a granddaughter like you.
No, that's not it.
Geez, are you buying or not?
If you're not buying, then get lost!
I'll buy. Give me 1000 won's worth.
By any chance, have you seen these people?
I don't know.
Please look carefully. They passed by here every night.
I said, I don't know.
I don't know! Why, I outta...
Take it, take it. Take it and eat it!
- I said, go! - Thank you.
- Have a good day. - Leave!
Wow, looks tasty.
Give me 1000 won's worth.
- I can eat it here, right? - Sure, sure.
Yes, hello? It's me, the red bean bread.
She was just here.

And...
this scarf is really warm.
Thank you. I'm hanging up.
Wow, your grandson must've given you that scarf.
No.
Someone asked me for a favor in exchange.
What was his name again?
Kang Byun? (short for Attorney Kang)
Geez, what kind of a name is that?
He's not a stream. What's with Kang Byun?
What a name.
She fell for that?
She's so stupid that she'd get in a fight with the postmaster
trying to send me drinking water when I say I'm in Alaska
looking for an oasis on a camel.
Got it.
We'll lose for sure, Mr. Koo.
Please prepare...
that thing.
Attorney, anything but that...
Isn't that too harsh for Attorney Seo?
Please proceed.
Yes, will do.
- Hello. - Welcome.
By any chance...
have you seen these people?
They passed by here every night.
Well, they look familiar.
Their names?
- The lady is Choi Hyun Ji and... - What?
Choi Hyun Ji?
Do you know her?
I do know her, but...
My shop is so tiny!
- Why doesn't she pick up her things? - That's not it...
And if it gets lost later,
she'd have a fit!
- Take it. - That's not it, but...
Gosh.
Choi Hyun Ji. Choi Hyun Ji?
Picked up and...
Wait. There's something.
This was in the pocket.
What a shame.
Won't you regret rejecting our proposal?
I want to focus on the trial.
It's not my job to worry about
what happens afterward.
Swaying the attorney to get to the client.
I never taught you such low tactics.
But what shall we do? It stops right here.
There's a saying in Africa...
There's a saying in Japan.
"Hitting in the same spot will make it bleed."
I didn't know my love would become a crime.
Because I never thought it was one-sided.
I thought it was always mutual.
I believed that...
we loved each other.
So I was happy.
Choi Hyun Ji.
Even if you didn't love him,
you opened up your heart to him and
didn't you give him reasons to misunderstand?
I never did that.
Albeit for a brief moment...
you were never interested in Hong Min Cheol?
No, I wasn't.
A relationship that begins by hurting someone else
can't work out well.
Because of a momentarily emotional mistake...
it'd be disastrous to ruin a wedding with a fiancé with a promising future.
But a relationship that begins by hurting someone...
can't work out well.
Choi Hyun Ji.
You've never had any feelings for Hong Min Cheol?
No, I never have.
Not even a little?
Not at all.
Choi Hyun Ji...
Please stop.
- But Min Cheol... - That's enough.
I'm satisfied.
But...
My apologies.
I solely misunderstood and
caused great harm to your wedding.
I wholeheartedly...
apologize.
I started because I felt so wronged.
But seeing Hyun Ji denying like that...
made me feel how pathetic my love was.
Thank you for believing in me and being on my side till the end.
No.
I don't deserve those words from you.
I'm sorry for not doing a good job.
No. You're a good attorney.
Well...
Here.
That was a brutal loss.
It'd be good to enter the Korean Chess Tournament this Sunday
and smash the chess board with a hammer on the live broadcast.
At least you'll feel better.
I'm fired anyway.
Since the outcome changed due to the client's wishes,
I'll overlook it this one time.
So, in a word,
in this stalker case,
B&G's superstar Attorney Kang Ki Seok
has crushed Ko Tae Rim's firm
in a merciless victory.
- Attorney Kang, some words! - How do you feel about this?
This was all possible due to
our CEO's leadership and guidance.
What nonsense!
- What on earth? - What's going on?
- What are those? - Grab them!
[ Announcement from Ko Tae Rim law firm ]
Attorney Seo Jae In's resume only consists of an internship at B&G.
She's solely in a claim-obligation relationship with Ko Tae Rim's firm.
Attorney Seo Jae In's rate of victories and losses
has no relation with Ko Tae Rim's firm.
Not surprising.
Hey, Brother!
This must wear on your nerves.
You even wrote that petty notice.
- Happy? Because you won? - Yes.
Next time, I want a round with you.
Congrats.
A gift.
Boss! What is this?
Leave it alone.
Don't touch it.
What's that?
A woman asked me to give this to you.
Where's that woman?
- She left. - Come with me.
Hey, Chief!
Hang on, please.
- Is this her? - Yes, it's her.
Jae In...
I got caught.
I thought legal procedures were important to you.
This is surprising.
That you'd do this.
The search is over and the crime scene's no longer off limits.
That's not the issue here.
- But... - So...
we won't be arrested, right?
But I was curious, so I took a look.
There was this photo in this USB.
It's near the crime scene.
He looks a lot like the guy you got freed
after proving his innocence, doesn't he?
You got him freed.
A murderer!
Did you go there in case there was other evidence?
I said, no.
Then why would we bring this to you?
You have no other reason for going there!
The problem is...
when we have more victims
when these punks get released, who'll take responsibility?
Huh?
No matter how much we catch them,
attorneys like you will get them freed!
Who's the real culprit?
I called him, just in case.
Retaining them without a justified reason.
In the interrogation room.
You must know this is not standard protocol.
We were just...
conversing with their voluntary consent.
I see.
You're even recording this?
Well, that was me mistakenly...
You make mistakes often.
Last time, you threw away recorded footage.
Get up.
If you'll do a formal investigation, notify us of reasonable grounds.
Not that I'll necessarily cooperate.
Aren't you leaving?
Seol Hee!
Seol Hee, where are you?
- Seol Hee! - Seol Hee!
Seol Hee!
Seol Hee, are you okay?
Seol Hee, we ran here as soon as we heard.
Who is it? Who arrested our Seol Hee?
I called a few people, just in case.
Prosecutors and a judge.
I don't know you, but you're well connected.
Did you eat?
What?
I said, did you eat?
Yes.
I ate earlier, but...
Okay.
We'll see you tomorrow then.
Do you have something to say?
No, I don't.
It was my first time being speechless because I was dumbfounded.
She's a bit bizarre, but when I see Attorney Seo...
I want to root for her,
and she makes me smile.
She reminds me of you-know-who.
There was another retarded tadpole like her?
A while ago, you also didn't trust a client
and hid in a sewer for 13 hours.
Then you got hospitalized due to a rat bite...
Why bring that up now?
And I wasn't hiding but fainted. Fainted!
Man, how traumatic. That freaking rat!
[ Dae Sung Meat Manufacturing's President Oh arrested by the Prosecutor's Office for embezzlement ]
Aigoo, congratulations, Attorney.
I heard you turned the tables in court yesterday.
What do you mean, Attorney?
[ Attorney Seo has no relation with Ko Tae Rim's firm ]I have nothing to do with this firm.
I had no choice.
He told me to make them, just in case.
I'll let it go because of this.
Dae Sung's President Oh has been arrested.
Like you didn't know.
The anonymous informant here is you, right?
That's why we had Dae Sung Meat Manufacturing's accounting records.
Well...
I'm not sure about that...
But where's Attorney Ko?
Well, he's been over there all this time.
He used to be different.
I fell for him when I saw him tear up over a blossoming flower.
Oh, my.
Excuse me, Attorney...
Hey, Attorney...
- What the heck? - Did you see this?
The writer's a genius.
How can it be so funny?
I figured as much.
Tears, my foot.
How can he draw a person like a goldfish?
Gold... goldfish!
A goldfish like you! Blurp, blurp.
I said, stop it!
Hey!
- S***. - Blurp, blurp.
[ Legal High ]
I want to officially learn now.
I'll do my best, no matter what!
I'll learn from you no matter what. Just tell me what to do.
Work hard from now on.
Many congratulated me today.
Because I beat you.
Why must you pick a fight with Attorney Kang?
Because it'll validate me.
Someone stole a song I wrote.
Her song was plagiarized.
Attorney, you'll accept this case, right?
Our opponent is Goethe.
Do you think normal rules will apply?
You're bothered, right?
No. I really want to take on Ko sunbae.
Things will get decided this time.
Kang Ki Seok, be as sly as you want.
Don't do it for real. If you do, I'll kill you.
- You're too close. - You said to make it realistic.
- Come here. - No, don't.
I'm scared, I'm scared.
I said, I'm scared!
