(All characters, organizations, places, cases, and incidents...)
(in this drama are fictitious.)
What did Yoon Do Hee promise to give you?
It's none of your business.
(Episode 13)
Does it have...
anything to do with Sung Gi Jun?
No, it doesn't.
You always tell me not to care about the truth.
But aren't you the one who's been searching for the truth...
until this very moment?
What are you talking about? You're wrong.
It's because of what happened with Hankang New Materials, isn't it?
- Don't touch my stuff. - I saw her.
I actually saw Yoo Ra in this office,
and I even talked to her.
There has to be a reason why she suddenly showed up before me...
when she died three years ago.
Why don't you just tell me everything?
I have the right to know.
So you're saying you saw a ghost.
Talking such nonsense means that you're not all there.
- Leave now. - Why?
Does Yoon Do Hee have some kind of evidence to lock up Sung Gi Jun?
Listen carefully.
You don't need to know, and you shouldn't even try to know.
I'm not an amateur like you who goes on about "the truth".
All I care about is getting back at them for what they did and more.
Is it that hard for you to admit that you're doing it for justice?
"Justice"? Did you say "justice"?
You still haven't learned your lesson?
When there are 100 people, "justice" can mean 100 different things.
There's no justice for everyone.
Worrying about my own justice is more than I can handle.
I'll worry about mine, so you should do the same.
Please!
Well, we just got a call from the police station.
The man who had assaulted Ms. Seo turned himself in.
He turned himself in?
So it was all you, right?
From Lawyer Seo to Lawyer Yoon, it was all your doing, right?
- Yes. - Why did you do it?
For what reason?
Why did I do it? I did it for no reason.
Do you think that makes sense? Why did you assault them?
Because they got on my nerves.
Are you trying to provoke me?
I'll ask one more time.
Why did you assault the two victims?
Strictly speaking, there are three victims, including me.
He assaulted me to get me into a fight with B and G.
As for Yoon Sang Koo, it probably happened as he was running away.
The problem is, he assaulted and threatened Seo Jae In.
What are you doing here now?
- Get out! - One of the assault victims...
kindly came here in person and is telling you key factors of the case,
but you don't seem happy or grateful.
We'll summon you later on. Get out.
The still image from the security footage I e-mailed.
The image clearly showed that tattoo of his.
Why didn't the police know about it?
What on earth are you talking about now?
Get out this instant!
It was you, wasn't it? You pinned the murder on Kim Byung Tae.
At first, I simply thought that...
it was a mistake, which resulted from you being overly eager.
But if it was actually done to hide the real culprit,
everything checks out.
Stop spewing total nonsense, will you?
Why? Did I hit the mark?
I'll wait and see what happens. If you don't investigate properly,
I'll dig up all the dirt on you and teach you a lesson. Got it?
Sir! Sir.
Don't get worked up, please.
I can't trust anyone.
They're busy colluding and concealing each other's bad deeds.
How dare they call themselves "police"?
Getting all worked up won't solve the problem.
He's in police custody now,
so we'll soon find out more.
In my opinion, it's another ruse to conceal the truth.
Otherwise, why did he turn himself in?
Unless he met some guru and suddenly got a new life motto...
or had an adventurous dream like Scrooge did, that is.
Aren't you coming?
You can get going without me.
I've made it clear to you that you should mind your own business.
Deciding whether I'll do something or not...
is also part of my justice, so it's none of your business.
- What does that mean? - I have a question for you.
Do you know about the Hankang New Materials case?
Hankang New Materials?
Yes, he's still after Sung Gi Jun...
because of that case.
A little girl named Yoo Ra died because of exposure to...
I don't know anything other than what's on the trial records.
I'm sorry. I'm busy today.
So it's still not over?
Why now after all this time? Why?
- Ma'am. - You're still here.
Ms. Min, you know that I'm always grateful to you, right?
I wouldn't have been able to adjust so quickly if it weren't for you.
No problem, ma'am.
Of course, I do know about your relationship with Mr. Bang.
Leaving you at the firm was probably the only thing...
he could do to get information on what's going on here,
and I bet that's why you decided to stay.
But by now, I'm sure you know that it'll be hard for him to come back.
Forget what's gone, and let it go.
In some relationships,
clinging onto the past only hurts those who are involved.
You're more practical than anybody else that I know,
so I'm sure you understand what I'm trying to say.
I'm practical?
I always act like I'm not,
but you may be right.
This is the e-mail thread...
between you and the purchaser.
What does "Blue Balloon" here refer to?
A cyanic acid compound.
Is it...
this by any chance?
- Yes. - In the e-mail thread, you wrote...
that you'd hand it over to the purchaser at a cafe in Gangnam.
- Is that what happened? - Yes.
Then did you know the purchaser in person?
No, of course not.
I only found out later when I saw her on the news.
I almost passed out when I heard she killed someone with it.
Who is she?
That woman, Yoon Do Hee.
That's all.
You seem sure it was the defendant.
When making an illegal transaction,
one wears a cap or sunglasses...
or a mask...
to cover the nose and mouth to hide their identity.
Did she show her plain face as if she were out...
to buy cooking oil or tofu?
Actually, she did wear sunglasses,
but she was so beautiful that I took a closer look.
It was definitely her.
You saw her just once, but you're sure?
Is there any possibility that you saw someone similar...
on the news and thought it was her?
No. I adore women of her type,
so I remember clearly.
Her type?
Do you mean you identify women...
by general features such as...
their hair length, nose height, and the thickness of their lips?
- Pardon? - Was her hair...
1.5cm above her shoulder or 3cm?
How round and flared were her nostrils?
Was her upper lip thin or was her lower lip fuller?
You don't care about the details.
- Objection. - Sustained.
Counsel.
Are you sure you made only one sale?
After you quit your job, you stay at internet cafes all day,
but at night, you frequent expensive liquor and karaoke bars.
Where do you get all the money for that?
Aren't you a habitual seller?
I really sold it to just one person.
I'm spending what I'd saved up.
We checked and couldn't find proof of other sales.
Is that the deal you made?
"If you testify for this case,"
"we'll forget about all your other crimes."
Objection.
I can't stand this, Mr. Go.
At our previous trial date,
you suggested the poison might not be the defendant's.
Now the witness testified the poison was clearly the defendant's,
so you're mocking the prosecution without proof.
Prosecutors work hard...
every day to establish justice within our society.
This is utterly disrespectful.
It's disrespectful? Did you say "disrespectful"?
If you hadn't fabricated the evidence,
I'd have treated you with respect based on Confucius...
and Mencius' classic teachings and the Encyclopedia of Family Rites.
Too bad.
You never lost? A 100-percent win rate?
Do you expect me to believe you after that fiasco?
Could you calm down?
I trusted you.
The whole world wants me dead.
At this rate, I'll be executed, won't I?
In most cases, yes.
But I, Go Tae Rim, is your lawyer.
I will win. So wait and see.
The whole world may hate you,
- but I'm on your side. - Me too.
Even if you're a vicious killer who deserves to die,
I will clear your name, most definitely.
That's a bit...
Now it's your time to work, so listen up.
When I question you, say no to all my questions.
Don't say anything else.
Plead the Fifth to the prosecutor's questions. Then we'll win.
You will be freed,
and I'll get what I was promised.
It's wrong to say you'll set a murderer free.
Isn't that cool? Not anyone can do that.
Only I can.
Is that why you want to lock up...
someone you let go once? Sung Gi Jun?
I did some digging. He committed theft, assault,
and attempted murder many times since middle school.
But because of lawyers like you, he was cleared of them all.
I suddenly feel hungry.
Mr. Gu.
You can avoid me right now.
But your heart.
The conscience that's bothering you endlessly.
You can't avoid that.
Worry about this trial.
Your slave contract's on the line.
Work with all your might and energy.
"No." You said that answer would get us a win.
(Court)
Counsel, go ahead.
Mr. Han, an ex-pharmaceutical company worker said...
he sold you a cyanic acid compound.
Is that true?
No.
Yes.
Of course. I'm sure he didn't.
What?
Yes.
Continue, counsel.
Do you mean you purchased it?
Yes.
You yourself, out of your own volition, bought...
He's asking the same question.
Counsel, move on.
- The reason for the purchase... - I didn't ask you anything.
Was to use it for the crime.
What are you doing?
What are you thinking?
I don't hear the question.
Counsel, speak loudly.
Your Honor, I request a recess.
For what reason?
For poor health conditions.
I feel just fine.
It's me. I don't feel too well.
Overruled. You will continue the questioning.
Continue, counsel.
He seems to be done.
Prosecution, your witness.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Ms. Yoon Do Hee.
You dated Lee Joon Il, the CEO of a transportation company,
and in the name of proving his love,
you made him take out a life insurance policy...
naming you as the recipient in case of his death.
What is this?
Is it a trap?
Counsel, take your seat.
But when he postponed the wedding because of his daughter Ha Na,
you feared that he might change the recipient of the policy,
so you bought the cyanic acid compound from Han Gi Bae...
What are you doing?
Be quiet. I'm questioning the witness.
On March 13th, 2018,
you pressed the code that...
you already knew to open the door,
got into Lee Joon Il's house.
Then you poured the poison into the soup bowl in the kitchen.
Is that correct?
Yes.
You planned the murder before carrying it out?
That's only natural.
That's all.
Yes.
Okay, I get it. Thank you.
Bye.
Yoon Do Hee.
It won't be that easy.
Monster Pervert.
Will it be his historic first loss?
- Ms. Song. - Stay seated.
Free up your schedule tomorrow morning.
There will be a sentencing session.
We should witness the end of Monster Pervert's winning streak.
Monster Pervert?
Kang Gi Seok is more persistent than I thought.
He took on a new position to finally get what he wanted.
Monster Pervert's actually going to lose?
Good luck, Mr. Go.
Don't you feel the confidence of a victor?
I'm not sure.
I'll announce the sentence.
The verdict.
I hereby dismiss this appeal.
Here's the reason behind the verdict.
Han Gi Bae testified that he sold cyanic acid...
to the defendant.
And the cyanic acid he stole from the pharmaceutical company...
coincides with the substance that was used to murder the victim.
Thus, based on the judgment that his testimony is credible,
I hereby dismiss the appeal of this case.
Yoon Do Hee, whom people referred to as the witch of the century,
had filed for an appeal for the murder she was accused of.
However, the Department of Justice dismissed the appeal...
saying the defendant has no grounds to file for an appeal.
I can't believe Monster Pervert finally lost.
And of all people, he ended up losing to Kang Gi Seok.
Her boyfriend at the time...
You lost for the first time today.
How do you feel?
Do you admit that you've lost?
How do you feel? Please tell us.
Are you going to take this to the Supreme Court?
- Why do you think you lost? - Please tell us.
- What's your opinion? - How do you feel?
You're back.
You did great.
What's wrong?
Gosh, what's wrong?
Did Kang Gi Seok scheme something with Sung Gi Jun?
He's still after Sung Gi Jun...
because of that case.
A little girl named Yoo Ra died because of exposure to...
What are you doing here?
Long time no see, Mr. Sung.
You startled me.
Did my dad ask you to keep your eyes on me?
It's natural for a parent to worry about their children.
"Worry"?
Is that why he beats me up so much?
Did I do something wrong again?
I haven't done anything recently.
- Is that why you're here? - Na Cheol Jin.
He's going to get accused of something more than just assault.
I just heard that he's going to be switched to a murder suspect.
Murder?
He may seem rough, but he'd never do something like that.
He can't kill people.
What?
What is it?
I noticed that you've been busy because the franchise owners...
of Hankang Distribution have been holding a protest.
You know...
how things are going to turn out if you keep doing this, right?
No problem.
Okay, bye.
I'm sorry.
They want me to work at the Supreme Court.
Congratulations, sir.
We were able to win this case thanks to you.
But I feel like I'm the only one getting the award.
No, it's okay. I'm already more than satisfied.
That's a relief.
I need to talk to the district attorney. I'll see you.
Okay, bye.
Thanks, Seol Hee.
Don't you think this is too much?
Gosh, aren't we close enough?
You're being cold-hearted.
But this is out of line.
You can't start a business in my cafe.
You're being too brazen.
But the entire place is empty. No one's here.
Okay, fine. I'll order something expensive later.
Should I order fresh juice? Or a piece of cake?
Bring whatever you want me to order.
Wait. Over here, sir.
I'm Yoon Sang Koo, and I specialize in gambling.
Was it easy for you to get here?
Say hello.
Please sit down. Goodness.
You borrowed money from the house, and you got sued?
My goodness, that's not good.
What are you doing? Bring him coffee.
Go get some coffee.
Maybe I should just sue him.
What am I doing here? I should be over her now.
Fine, let's just see her face.
Let's see her from afar. That's it.
What are you doing here with your nameplate in your hand?
I was just passing by. I had an appointment with a client.
I already got a call from Seol Hee.
What's wrong with you? Why do you cause harm to other people?
Gosh, she's being so stingy. All she has is that coffee shop.
You're even worse by trying to take advantage of that coffee shop.
Follow me.
Why does she always tell me to follow her?
She could just be honest and tell me that she missed me.
"I love you." How simple is that?
Wait for me.
Mr. Go, I'm back.
Mr. Go.
(I have decided to give up on being human. From Go Tae Rim)
He's going to give up on being human?
What's this supposed to mean?
Mr. Go!
Hey, Mr. Gu.
What? Mr. Go disappeared?
Yes, you should also call I Su.
Okay, bye.
Mr. Go.
Mr. Go. Mr. Go.
Mr. Go.
- Mr. Go. - Mr. Go.
Mr. Go.
Hello.
- Excuse me. - Yes?
Have you seen this guy pass by your store?
I'm not sure. I don't think so.
Did you find him?
You didn't find him? Where in the world did he go?
Do you think... No, he can't have.
Mr. Go.
Tae Rim. Tae Rim.
Hey, Tae Rim!
What are we doing here?
Let's go.
Wait.
Hey, come on.
My goodness. What's he doing?
What are you doing there?
I've given up on being human. I'm going to become a plant.
You said you'll give up on being human if you ever lose.
And now, you're going to become a plant?
So are you just going to do nothing and accept that you lost?
If you lost the appeal, you should go for a final trial.
Then you can keep your winning record...
and go back to being the arrogant and money-crazy Monster Pervert.
Yes, please go back to how you used to be.
It really doesn't suit you to be like this.
I hear you're after Sung Gi Jun.
Sung Gi Jun, that rude punk.
Do you know who's behind this case?
Do you know whom Kang Gi Seok is cooperating with?
Yes, that's right. It's Sung Gi Jun.
I don't care if you become a plant or whatever,
but at least keep that in mind.
Where do you think he went?
- He's in the greenhouse. - Ms. Min.
Mr. Yoon.
He's apparently going to become a plant.
That makes no sense. Can he produce cherry tomatoes from his mouth?
He's completely mad.
A plant?
Goodness, Mr. Go.
Mr. Gu, you should've searched the house first.
Yes, you're right. I can't believe I made such a simple mistake.
Whatever the case, I'm relieved that we found him.
Are you going to leave me all alone?
We're partners.
We must fight together.
Even if Yoon Do Hee is actually guilty of the murder,
the death penalty is too harsh.
We have to fight together. The real battle begins now.
You have no time to dream about becoming a plant!
Be quiet. You're so full of yourself.
How dare you try to lecture me just because I lost once?
What have you even done so far?
- What's this? - Yoon Do Hee...
probably changed her words because of this.
They're her visitation records.
She met this woman the day before the trial.
(Choi Yun Jung, acquaintance)
Choi Yun Jung?
You must get back at them for what they did to you.
No, I must get back at them for what they did to me and way more.
I'll get back at them even if they did nothing.
I shall get back at those who don't even remember what they did.
I don't care who they are. I must retaliate.
That's just mean.
I can do whatever I want!
(Happy Correction)
Choi Yun Jung. Who is this woman?
We looked her up, but her contact information in the system is fake.
Who is she?
You decided to change your words...
after you met her, right?
What on earth did she tell you...
for you to humiliate me like that in the courtroom?
If you don't tell us, we won't be able to go to the Supreme Court.
If you don't want to rot in jail for the rest of your life,
you'd better tell us, Yoon Do Hee.
She's just my acquaintance who helped me in the past.
Did she tell you to admit the accusations?
She said telling the truth may work as a mitigating factor.
Even if I get acquitted, everyone will call me an evil witch.
I'm not sure if I can put up with that.
I shouldn't have gotten that advice from her.
Since when were you so weak-willed?
Or are you trying to put on another lousy show?
Think however you want.
Once you get acquitted,
the public will quickly lose their interest in you.
Thinking that the public's interest will last a long time...
is a mistake only fame-hungry celebrities make.
Listen carefully.
I'm the only person who can get you acquitted.
Fine, then what should I do at the Supreme Court?
Shut your mouth and stay behind bars.
I can't let a capricious bomb like you ruin everything again.
About Yoon Do Hee... I think she's hiding something.
Also, I think she's intentionally being vague about the visitor.
It doesn't matter.
Our job is to get her acquitted.
Nobody has gotten their death penalty conviction overturned...
and got acquitted at the Supreme Court.
Plus, we won't even get a date for a hearing.
Then we'll make them give it to us.
Whether we have to appeal or use public opinion,
we'll do whatever it takes.
The rest will be on me and the prosecutor...
in our 1-on-1 showdown at the hearing.
This isn't an all-or-nothing gamble.
"Yoon Do Hee hired a famous lawyer..."
"with a 100-percent win rate,"
"but she failed to overturn the verdict."
"Perhaps he is just another poor fly,"
"caught in the web of the venomous spider, Yoon Do Hee."
My pride can't put up with such defamatory remarks.
I must get her acquitted...
and reclaim the title, "the lawyer who never loses."
This one is my fight.
So after all, he's in this for himself.
Goodness.
The Supreme Court gave us a chance to plead because of public opinion,
so you'd better stay focused.
As for Prosecutor Dong Han Gi,
how did he get transferred to the Supreme Court just in time?
Probably because he's the only prosecutor that has won against me.
He's become a star prosecutor.
He's been selected once again to take me down.
It sounds like you're boasting.
These jerks think that they can use the law...
however they wish.
This is our only chance.
What brings you here?
Are you here to be praised for winning against me?
Or are you afraid that I may rise back up and ruin your victory?
I'm here to cheer for you.
It'd be more accurate to say that you're here to stomp all over me.
If you say you're here because you're worried...
that the prosecution's manipulation of evidence may jeopardize...
your new career path, I'll believe you.
You shouldn't underestimate Prosecutor Dong Han Gi.
I was able to come this far...
because I won against countless people who claimed that...
they were "competent", "top-notch", and "world's greatest".
Just prepare some sponge so that he won't have a concussion...
when he collapses from shock.
Please have a careful look at this.
Anyone would assume that this is a spice jar,
but it actually contains a cyanic acid compound.
Albeit through underground routes,
you can easily purchase this over the Internet.
And this is...
a componential analysis of the substance used in the murder.
This is a lot more similar to the substance used...
than the cyanic acid compound, which the prosecution used as proof.
The defendant's counsel doesn't seem to know much about chemistry.
A chemical reaction occurs when any substance enters the body.
The experiment showed that the chemical makeup...
of both compounds after the reaction...
is identical.
This is utterly ridiculous!
Keep it down, please. I'm asking questions.
Also, Han Gi Bae...
has admitted selling the substance to the defendant,
so there's no reason for us to doubt the validity of her conviction.
Are you saying you purchased it?
Yes.
Oh, right.
We believe that Han Gi Bae's testimony is problematic.
He's insisting that he only sold it to one person, but...
Mr. Go, I'll do it.
Even though Mr. Han Gi Bae stated that he only sold it to one person,
we found two other people who bought the compound from him.
We'll be submitting additional evidence for your perusal.
The first statement is from an office worker,
and the second one is from a female college student.
In other words, it seems that Mr. Han has sold...
toxic substances to many individuals,
in addition to the defendant.
But it doesn't dismiss the fact that he sold it to the defendant.
What we're trying to tell you...
is the fact that Mr. Han's testimony isn't credible.
You're mocking the prosecution without proof.
Prosecutors work hard every day...
to establish justice within our society.
This is utterly disrespectful.
We have reasons to believe...
that Mr. Han had some sort of a deal with the prosecution.
I hope you have evidence to back up what you just said.
Mr. Han clearly stated that he sold the compound to the defendant.
The compound found at the defendant's residence...
matched the substance used in the murder.
There's no reason to question the fact that she is the culprit.
The court will now announce the verdict.
The court has decided to dismiss the appeal.
Mr. Go, are you okay?
I'm certain that the prosecution manipulated the evidence.
There's no way Yoon Do Hee left the evidence to be found.
- Mr. Go. - I bet the prosecution thought...
it had to catch her as they failed to convict her multiple times.
That's why they fabricated the evidence.
Defendant's counsel, that's enough! How dare you.
I'll tell you what "fabrication" really is. You've been spreading...
rumors about her that provoke sympathy,
such as how she was abused as a child,
and how she's tender-hearted.
You're deliberately spreading such words to get her acquitted.
What you, lawyers, have been doing is called "fabrication".
Solely for the purpose of earning money and fame.
Lawyer Go Tae Rim.
You've won many trials through cutting deals,
using your pleading abilities, and various strategies.
But those won't work here.
A trial isn't a game.
Those who committed crimes must be punished.
That's how we can honor those who are honest and just.
It's what the public wants.
Namely, the will of the people.
Mr. Go.
So...
So that's...
Gosh! Mr. Go!
Help! An emergency!
Are you all right?
Are you okay?
I think we've heard enough.
I hope you're aware that the Supreme Court...
made an exception for you by letting you have this hearing.
The attorney suddenly collapsed during the hearing,
so I believe it's unfair to conclude the verdict now.
Also,
there's crucial evidence that will...
overturn the original verdict...
and clear the defendant.
Why didn't you submit it?
It took us a while to collect the evidence.
Submit it immediately for me to see.
It's revenge.
Keep an eye out for rocks, Mr. Gu,
like the rock band case last time.
What's the matter?
The media is very negative.
Yoon Do Hee...
targeted men whose wives had died.
The NWA and other organizations are threatening us.
The NWA?
The National Widowers' Association.
"Such evil should be secluded from society forever."
"Punish those who are defending her for money."
There's even a photo of you two.
I think you should be extra careful when you go out now.
Shield me, Mr. Gu.
She's showing signs of violence.
Will you...
No.
- What now? - Why are you asking me?
The prosecution fabricated the evidence.
You know that. Gi Seok and Jae In.
You're friends and go out together for drinks.
Use your feminine wiles or propose...
- and find out something. - We aren't like that.
And what, do you want me to spy?
I won't do that. I can't.
I'm surprised that you came to see me.
Are you really okay with this?
Yoon Do Hee.
That topic's a bit inappropriate.
I thought that you were...
different from Mr. Go.
But the side of you that I saw in that courtroom...
was exactly like Monster Pervert.
Perhaps even worse.
- Really? - You once told me that...
you wanted to beat Mr. Go to prove yourself.
Did you prove yourself? Do you feel better?
What's this about?
Why mention a trial that's over?
Fabrication of evidence.
Bribery of Han Gi Bae, the dealer.
Did you really not do that?
Look into a mirror.
Is it you that you see...
or Monster Pervert with another face?
I'm disappointed.
If you're a lawyer, act like one.
You should find the first witness...
and ask why the defendant got into this mess.
What will you get from berating the prosecutor?
Goodbye.
The first witness?
Are you Ms. Lee Eun Ji?
I'm sorry to come to your new workplace.
You were Lee Joon Il's housekeeper.
And the first witness.
I wanted to hear your story again.
I told you everything.
Is there anything you forgot to tell?
- No. - I...
Even a small detail.
I'm not hiding anything.
Then why are you avoiding me?
Because you're her lawyer.
Do you know Choi Yun Jung?
No, I don't.
Are you satisfied that you helped get the death sentence...
for an evil woman?
I know you hate...
my client for ruining Lee Joon Il's family.
But if the death sentence were based on false evidence,
you will spend the rest of your life in guilt.
You sentenced her to death.
Can you cook for schoolkids with those hands of yours?
If you cooperate,
I'll clear your husband of...
investing in shares with company money.
I found it.
Lee Eun Ji, the first witness.
She told us of evidence the police missed.
Okay. I'll tell you when I get back.
Bye.
(Evil of evil! You're not human!)
(A vampire that feeds off men)
That's her. Yoon Do Hee's lawyer.
Seo Jae In! Stop!
- Come back! - Stop!
Hello, this is Go Tae Rim's...
What?
Ms. Seo Jae In?
She was assaulted by a group.
She hurt her head and is unconscious.
Did they catch who did it?
"She defends evil,"
"so she's the people's enemy."
That's what they said.
The people's enemy?
Tell the press that...
Yoon Do Hee's lawyer was assaulted.
Where are you going?
To get revenge.
Court dismissed.
This is highly unusual,
but thank you for allowing me to question the witness.
Lee Eun Ji was Lee Joon Il's housekeeper...
and the first to witness the scene.
You said this in your statement to the police.
"I came in through the back door as usual,"
"but it was trash collection day,"
"so I took out the bottles and cans we'd collected in the kitchen."
"On return to the living room,"
"I found Lee Joon Il and Ha Na unconscious,"
"so I frantically called an ambulance."
Was anything left out?
Yes.
Can you tell us?
While taking out the recyclables,
I found a bottle I'd never seen in the corner of the kitchen.
It had foreign writing all over.
It looked like a spice bottle, so I threw it out.
Is that what you told the police?
Yes, but they said it was unrelated to the case.
Is this the bottle you found?
Yes, I think so.
A bottle identical to or looking almost like this...
was on the floor of the crime scene, Prosecutor Dong.
Did the real killer leave the bottle of poison at the scene...
while the bottle...
found in the victim's home had nothing to do with the case?
Did the police find that bottle?
No, they didn't.
I suspect not because it had been taken away.
The police and prosecution failed to obtain evidence.
Thank you, Ms. Lee.
Many people saw the defendant...
in the area on the night of the murder.
Based on the evidence and statements given,
our conclusion is solid.
Choi Sang Min who lives opposite.
"As I opened the door to my home with the groceries I'd bought,"
"I saw Yoon Do Hee leave through Lee Joon Il's back door."
We submitted the results of our experiment.
From Choi Sang Min's door,
a lamppost obstructs the vision of Lee Joon Il's back door.
Our experiment showed different results.
Other than that,
we secured many other witnesses.
The problem is, there's too many.
In cases like this,
there are very few witnesses.
We were lucky.
Kwak Yi Kyung said, "I was cooking dinner."
"Through my kitchen window, I saw Yoon Do Hee..."
"leave Lee Joon Il's home out the back door."
Hyun Seung Joo. "I was walking my dog."
"I saw Yoon Do Hee exit from Lee Joon Il's back door."
They all saw Yoon Do Hee so very clearly.
The neighbors must have...
made a pact to watch Lee Joon Il's back door.
All the witnesses stand by their statements.
I'm sure they do.
Even if the person they saw was a host of...
a variety show where celebrities ask for food,
they'd have said they saw my client.
Because that's what everyone wants.
People see what they want to see, hear what they want to hear,
and believe what they want to believe.
What about the prosecution? Isn't that the same for you?
- That's insulting. - Rightly so. It was an insult.
Instead of relying on evidence,
you charged my client based on...
what the media says is what the public wants.
We are civil servants.
We must live up to the public's expectations.
You must live up to the foolish public's...
idiotic expectations?
- Foolish? - They're foolish,
ugly, and despicable.
You are so arrogant.
I believe our country is a great country,
and our people are great.
Don't go off topic.
Let them continue.
It's quite an interesting discussion.
Do the great people of a great country...
demand the death penalty...
when the evidence is thin?
If that is what the people want, I must obey.
If that is what...
the people want, must you always obey?
That's what democracy is all about.
What's the point of having a judicial branch...
if you're going to bring democracy into law enforcement?
Why don't we just come up with an internet voting system...
like an audition program and let the people choose how long...
each criminal should be sentenced to jail?
You really do have a talent for sophistry.
Let's sentence her to death.
There's no proof.
But both her ex-husbands died suspiciously,
and she got a huge amount of insurance in return,
so Yoon Do Hee is, without a doubt, a heinous witch.
So let's sentence her to death.
The witness' testimony is a little ambiguous,
but let's sentence her to death.
We can't prove that the poisonous substance...
that was found in her house was actually used for murder or not.
But let's still sentence her to death.
Someone testified that there was another bottle...
that also seemed like a poisonous substance,
but let's still sentence her to death.
What's so important about evidence and testimonies?
Even before the context of the incident gets announced,
articles start publishing suggestive and provocative articles.
And that confuses the people from differentiating the truth...
which leads everyone to cause a fuss on the internet...
with contempt, hatred, and slander.
However, if that's the opinion of the people of this country,
we should follow that without a doubt.
She rides a foreign brand car.
She wears brand-name outfits.
She seemed confident that she was innocent when she got arrested.
She doesn't admit that she's guilty.
So for all those reasons, let's sentence her to death.
We live in such a beautiful, democratic country.
Is the majority always correct?
Then...
since it was the majority...
that attacked my partner attorney, I guess that was also...
the correct thing to do, right?
That's a load of nonsense. That's a bunch of nonsense!
I'll tell you what real evil is.
When the majority opinion goes out of control,
people start believing that they're a very good-natured person.
However, when they see a mutt stumble into a drain,
they'll gather together to criticize that mutt.
Those so-called good-natured people are the real evil ones.
However,
there are also fools...
who would step up to save that mutt from the drain.
Fools who believe in their principles...
and aren't worried about getting involved in danger.
What?
Excuse me! Help!
And thanks to that fool, Ms. Lee Eun Ji...
freed herself from the public opinion...
and came here to testify on her own free will.
Although it may have been just one person,
she still managed to change someone's opinion.
And I am proud...
of that fool.
They failed to find enough evidence for her previous crimes.
And if the goal is to use this chance...
to fabricate evidence just so she could get punished,
you can go ahead and sentence her to death.
Because if that's the kind of trial we're having right now,
we could just call it a huge event for the public...
by giving permission to hang someone that they hate.
Don't you agree, Prosecutor Dong Han Gi?
If that's the case,
what's the use of having a formal building like this...
and going through legal procedures?
Reaching a verdict...
isn't based on some kind of survey.
As the people who are sitting on the peak of the judicial branch,
I hope you take pride in your work and make the right decision.
Please, I ask of you.
This kind of joke is out of line!
No, Ms. Seo told me to do this.
Come on.
Jae In.
Did you win?
You ran faster than Usain Bolt.
Do you know how many people you ended up worrying...
because of that dumb strategy that made you risk your life?
A dumb strategy?
Did you think the public opinion might change...
if you got beaten up?
Are you saying she got beaten up on purpose?
Jae In, is that true?
- Stop! - Hey!
- Get over here! - Come here!
Come on.
I'm going to save Yoon Do Hee no matter what.
You guys walk around in groups...
and go around badmouthing her like a group of losers.
So I'm going to save her and show you that you're wrong.
Come on.
Go ahead and fight me.
I didn't know they'd be so harsh against a woman.
You're still like a beginner driver...
who can't do anything but drive straight from Seoul to Busan.
The public opinion hasn't changed at all.
There's not a single soul that pities you.
But thanks to me, you were cured of your trauma.
That was my actual goal. I fooled you, didn't I?
I was just trying to provoke you so you'd get me that information.
- You're the one who got fooled. - Do you think I didn't know that?
I knew that already. I fooled you, didn't I?
I already knew that you knew.
You're the one who got fooled.
You knew that I knew that you knew, but you still did it anyway.
So you're the one who got fooled. I fooled you, didn't I?
Here's the verdict for Yoon Do Hee's...
murder and attempted murder case.
I hereby...
cancel the original verdict.
This case will be transferred to Seoul High Court.
What happened to the objection of innocence?
They probably felt pressured to make a rash judgment.
They really are sly people.
But we still managed to overturn the case.
Prosecutor Dong Han Gi.
- Congratulations. - You lost a huge case...
not too long after you got transferred here.
So I'm sure you'll get transferred back to the suburbs.
Wherever I go, I'll still be working for my country.
I wish you the best of luck until the very end.
Let me tell you something just in case you forget.
The fact that they canceled the original verdict...
means my record of having lost to you is gone now.
Therefore, I still stand with an undefeated record.
It means you never once beat me.
That doesn't matter anymore.
Why doesn't it matter anymore?
If you ever spread rumors saying you won a case against me,
that would not only be spreading false information,
but it would also be considered as slander. Keep that in mind.
Okay, I never beat you.
You're quick to admit the truth. You're surprisingly laid back.
If anyone beat you, it wasn't me.
Real enemies never make it obvious that they're the enemy.
Bye, then.
What does that mean?
He was about to become a prominent prosecutor...
but he'll end up going to the suburbs.
It means he was talking in panic, so don't care about what he said.
Now that I have an undefeated record again,
I'll be getting a lot of clients. Don't you think so?
Gosh, my money. My legal fees.
This is all thanks to me.
Once my contract's over, get ready to pay my transfer fee.
Please don't refuse and enjoy the meal.
I can't believe you cooked something for me yourself.
I'm so grateful that I can't seem to start eating.
To be honest, I thought we'd be eating sundaeguk today.
I've actually been practicing a lot.
You should start eating before the food gets cold.
Okay, then. Thank you for the meal.
It was really the best meal...
I've ever had.
I truly enjoyed it.
I actually owe you an apology.
That's why I cooked up a feast for you today.
An apology? For what?
To tell you the truth, I knew...
that you can't eat sundaeguk.
I beg your pardon? Then did you intentionally...
Yes, I wanted to show you how different our tastes are...
so that you'd be disappointed in me. That was my plan.
I'm sorry. It was such an unmanly thing to do.
Why did you do that?
Just like you had Thomas...
"Thomas"?
I had my wife, who passed away.
Because I was always so busy traveling around the world,
I never did anything for her. I was a bad husband.
In her final moments, she asked me...
to stay by her side...
if we were to meet again in the afterlife.
I told her that I would.
To tell you the truth, it's not easy for me...
to think about being with another woman now.
- I'm sorry. - No, don't be.
I should have...
known better.
I'll get going, then.
I'll see you out.
Mr. Gu, I don't know about the afterlife,
but I can't give up on you in this life.
Well, then. I'll be in touch.
15 years.
I'm pretty sure I told you last time that it'd be a life sentence.
I've had a change of heart.
There's an Egyptian proverb like this.
"The camel is simply going its way."
"It's just that humans think that they're in control of it."
Can you stop that? Aren't you going to prepare for the trial?
Why aren't we getting any calls?
I've reclaimed the 100-percent win rate title.
Why aren't clients calling us?
After Choi Yun Jung's visit,
Yoon Do Hee suddenly started changing her words.
I've asked Ms. Yoon's acquaintances,
but none of them knows her.
Stop wasting your time. Dig into what's important.
Look at this. Learn from Kang Gi Seok.
Is this what Mr. Kang had prepared for the trial?
From the main issues to targeted strategies.
In short, he was perfectly prepared.
And that's why he beat me.
Well, let me correct that.
Strictly speaking, he almost beat me.
This handwriting here...
His handwriting for "Yoon" here.
(Yoon, Yoon Do Hee, Choi Yun Jung)
(Yoon Do Hee)
What if Mr. Kang is Choi Yun Jung?
Did that mean...
If anyone beat you, it wasn't me.
Real enemies never make it obvious that they're the enemy.
So the real enemy was...
So after all, he was the one who beat me.
(Legal High)
You must admit to murdering Lee Joon Il.
Then my death penalty will be confirmed.
Even if you manage to get acquitted,
do you think you can be happy?
Please fire your attorney, Mr. Go.
Ms. Yoon sent this to terminate the attorney-client relationship.
Why? She's about to get an acquittal.
Why does she want to fire us?
There can be only one reason. As soon as you get acquitted,
they'll start looking for the real culprit,
and that will get some people in trouble.
I have nothing to say to these people.
Look into every single guy she dated in the past.
- Are you sure this is the place? - Yes.
Then let's go meet him.
What brings you here?
You know Ms. Yoon Do Hee, right?
So when your friend trumped you three times,
the red ribbon card was missing.
That means 25 points in total, and you had your penalty doubled.
She even shook the cards.
She did? Then it's more serious than I thought.
We're talking 100 points here. If it was 10 dollars per point...
I'm giving it to you on the house since you're regular.
Have as much coffee as you like.
Which one shall I drink first?
Have some coffee before it gets cold.
This means we can talk here for about seven hours.
Take your time.
