Yongdory is my baby!
You want me to hand over Yongdory for just 1 million won?
There's no way I will!
Please calm down.
I'll handle this.
Yongdory is the leading force of Korean Wave and everyone's favorite.
You want it for just 1 million won?
You're being too greedy.
It's not greed.
We're just claiming our right.
Expected profit from licensing overseas alone is 30 billion won.
But my client charged you only 500 million won for it.
It's a small amount considering.
We'll find out whether that's true or not
if we check the contract we have right here.
Here.
Please read the bottom of the first page carefully.
Right there. Down below.
Further down.
- Further down. - Pardon?
- Further. - Further?
Look closer. You have to look very closely.
Right there.
[ 3. The rights of any contents produced by the creator belong to the corporation ]
This is a scam. You scam artist!
So this is...
They didn't even give me enough time to read this.
There's no way you can read the fine print like that!
No matter how fine the print is,
as long as it's visible, it's legally valid.
This is nonsense.
This is total nonsense.
My Yongdory is...
I spent months...
I mean years to make it.
He's like my child...
I'm dying.
Please calm down! Calm down!
Calm down?
- Pardon? - Hey!
Would you be calm if your child were kidnapped?
Hak Ik Jin!
You bastard!
You're my lawyer. Do something!
It's all ready to go, Attorney.
- What's the situation? - He just grabbed him by the collar.
Perfect. Let's go.
[ Songha Law Firm ]
Aigoo, seriously...
He's causing quite the scene.
Let's go.
Hello!
Hey, what are you doing here? Get out.
Get out!
Aigoo, you must've been scared, Yongdory.
I'll rescue you soon.
So cute!
Who are you?
Who are you? You just barged in...
Nice to meet you. I'm Kim Moo Hyeok, the crisis management team
of Songha Law Firm.
Nice to meet you.
Now that things aren't working out...
they released the relief pitcher.
But could you turn the game around?
We're doing our job according to the copyright law.
Of course, you should follow the law.
But I don't know if you know this.
There's a more powerful law...
that's above any law.
Above any law?
I started a national petition to the Blue House.
Returning kidnapped Yongdory to his dad.
[ Return kidnapped Yongdory to his dad ]
Did you see that?
Those bastards.
Poor Yongdory.
[ Return kidnapped Yongdory to his dad ]
There's a law no Korean citizen can ignore.
[ Signed by 192,900 people ]
It's the law above the law.
The law of public sentiment.
You can call it "reprehension" as well.
You have to be careful abusing your power these days.
If you get caught by any chance...
you get completely humiliated.
What kind of trickery is this?
We'll definitely win if we go to the court.
We'll all go down together then.
Character design business is all about image.
If we go to court...
you'll lose the license and the whole franchise.
What's the point of winning like that?
You have to make money.
Let's make it a win-win situation.
If you give our client 1 billion won,
which is 10% of additional revenue...
I'll take down the petition...
I'll release a statement saying it was a normal license agreement.
I'll provide high-quality customer service.
1 billion won?
How dare you interfere with my case...
- Yongdory's father? - Yes!
You want him back, right?
Yongdory...
Yes.
Please shut him up then.
We should get your baby back and make money too.
We're 200 people short of reaching the goal.
[ Return kidnapped Yongdory to his dad: 199,844 ]
[ I agree ]
Yongdory's father has nothing to lose even if he loses the lawsuit,
but that's not the case for you guys.
Don't worry about the money now
and think about the money Yongdory will bring in.
The factory must be operating at full capacity.
You want to have a clearance sale?
Without even starting?
- 150 people to go. - My goodness.
More people are signing while you're hesitating.
There's no turning back if it reaches 200,000.
The government will interfere now.
I don't know if you could handle that.
Hey, hey, hey!
What are you doing?
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
- I did it! I signed! - You did?
You sure did sign properly.
I did! Take that down right now!
Well, that's...
I'm so sorry.
You can't edit nor delete once you post on the Blue House website.
What...
Yongdory!
[ You've reached the goal ]
What the heck?
Ta-da!
Aren't you relieved?
There would've been no turning back if this were real.
What?
This country is known for IT.
It was so easy to copy the website.
You...
Hey! Are you really a lawyer?
How could you scam?
You're doomed now. You know that?
Aigoo, aigoo!
Don't be so upset!
You tricked my client with the fine print first.
I just did the same thing to you.
If you still can't accept it,
I'll go ahead and post the petition then.
The national petition.
Hey, call my guys. Call them!
Call them right now!
Hey, you're doomed now.
You'll never... Let go!
Take care!
- I won't walk you out. - Bye!
It was an ethics violation!
Not only that he stole my client,
he scammed them using the popular sentiment law.
He violated the attorney law.
He should be punished!
Since when defending incapable lawyers...
was part of the attorney law?
Enough is enough.
The only ethic lawyers need to follow is...
to work for their clients' benefit.
You almost lost Yongdory then.
But I stopped that.
Who would the client find more unethical between us?
Let Attorney Ki take over.
Pardon?
Sir!
Instead, you'll give 20% of the fee to Attorney Song.
That's not a bad deal, is it?
Of course not, I should help him.
We're colleagues after all.
Alright.
Attorney Song should get ready to hand over the case.
- Moo Hyeok, let's have a chat. - Yes, sir.
Don't spend too much time handing it over.
I already know what you know.
Thanks.
Yes. Fighting!
You have to pull.
He's never been in the CEO's office before.
Don't you think 20% is too much?
All he did was wasting time.
I defended you. And you're complaining now?
I know you're after something else.
You're way ahead as usual.
The nation's lawyer who saved the nation's character.
Isn't that a great title?
If I become a star, that'd be good for...
Songha Law Firm as well.
By the way, what did you want to talk about?
I wanted to personally...
give you a case.
Personally?
What kind of tricky mission would it be?
A celebrity lawsuit?
A politician's illegitimate child?
If not, is it a conglomerate's divorce lawsuit?
- Division of property? - Attempted murder.
Represent a high school student.
[ Kim Han Soo's case information ]
It's a case where a male student...
stabbed a girl who goes to the same school.
[ Aggravated assault and attempted murder case ]
It's an elite private school that cares about their image.
I guess it's a huge headache for them.
There's clear evidence and motivation,
but the boy won't admit his crime at all.
Defendant Kim Han Soo...
stabbed the victim, Jung Soo Ah in the abdomen...
at her house...
How's the victim?
She's currently at ICU.
She hasn't woken up in two weeks.
The hospital says she might never wake up.
We won't reach an agreement.
He might end up being charged with murder.
I talked to Deputy Director Yang at the District Prosecutors' Office.
The prosecution will demand a 10-year sentence.
And if you reduce it by 3 years...
we'll accept the result without appealing.
[ Hang in there, Soo Ah ]
[ I miss you, Soo Ah ]
[ Jung Soo Ah ]
[ Go to jail ]
[ Criminal ]
Make sure to keep your mouth shut.
The school has no responsibility regarding the case.
Please take extra care so no students nor parents
talk about the case.
If someone damages Chunmyung High School's
reputation by trying to defend a student,
I will take action...
as the chief of school affairs.
Understand?
- Yes! - Yes, got it.
By the way...
where's Ms. Ha So Hyun?
I definitely asked everyone to come.
Hello!
Detective, please take one.
Han Soo is definitely not the culprit.
There's a misunderstanding...
He's just kind of blunt.
But he's actually very sweet.
Detective, please take one.
Ma'am.
There's no use doing that at all.
It's no longer our responsibility.
The police finished investigating.
The prosecution took over now.
The prosecution, did you say?
What will happen now then?
You know.
Since it was aggravated assault and attempted murder...
he'll go to the court and receive a sentence.
The kids these days are unbelievable.
- How could she let a man in her house? - I know.
What if my daughter did that?
Instead of doing this,
please make sure to educate the children.
Detective.
I'm sorry, but how many children do you have?
I have a boy and a girl.
I have more than 100 of each.
The students at our school...
are all like my children.
Please watch your mouth in front of a mother.
Have a seat.
You look terrible.
You must've gone through hell.
I know you feel victimized, but...
constantly denying isn't necessarily effective.
If you want to lessen the sentence, you need to admit to some...
How's Soo Ah?
Soo Ah?
The victim?
Don't worry.
She's still breathing.
That's why you're charged with attempted murder for now.
I didn't do it.
I can't say I did when I didn't.
Of course not.
But you kept silence while being questioned by the police.
The reason why you went to...
the victim's house then.
You did the right thing.
It's better to keep silence if it makes you look bad.
But you can talk to me now.
No, you must talk to me.
I'm here to fight for you.
I'm obligated to keep your secret.
She's my girlfriend.
Your girlfriend?
So you used to be in a relationship with the victim?
Yes.
But if you visit her late at night,
wouldn't her parents have said something?
Soo Ah lives alone.
Her parents are abroad.
Alone?
So you two were...
alone at her house without her parents' supervision?
According to the police's investigation report,
the victim was stabbed in the abdomen and...
was unconscious.
I promised her...
to meet her then.
But...
But she was already stabbed when you arrived?
She was unconscious too?
Yes.
Just do seven years.
- What? - Even an attempted murder can...
get you a lifetime or a death sentence based on the nature of the crime.
Insisting that you were in a relationship with the victim
doesn't help to prove your innocence either.
Actually, it would worsen things.
Most of the crimes against women are
committed by their significant others.
Did you even hear what I was saying?
I said I didn't do it.
It's not about whether you did it or not.
What's important is...
whether the judge can relate to your story.
And you...
technically aren't a minor.
You were born in 2000.
You're 20 years old. Not protected by the juvenile law.
But it doesn't mean that we're hopeless.
If you admit to the assault and insist that you didn't mean to kill her...
we could reduce the sentence to seven years.
And if I do my best...
- we could reduce it even more... - I thought you were a lawyer.
I thought you were going to fight for me.
Shouldn't you believe me no matter what I say...
and what other people say about me?
What if I believed you?
Would you become not guilty if I did?
I'd definitely believe you then.
If you don't want to waste your youth in jail...
you'd better follow my lead.
If you do, I'll make sure...
you spend your 20s outside of jail.
Aigoo, what's the point of making a deal with the prosecution?
The defendant won't listen to me.
He's an orphan and from an orphanage.
He got suspended by the school for an assault too.
You're a big problem. Seriously.
Come on in.
It's the edits the law firm sent regarding Yongdory's copyright.
I sent them one page and they sent back an encyclopedia.
Attorney Song sent the case file too.
Do you want it?
- You can shred that. - Yes.
Please look into the defendant of this case.
His relationship with the victim...
and his classmates.
What he likes and what he doesn't like.
Whether he has any weaknesses or stories he can't tell.
- Got it. - Right. Also...
Please do a background check on the prosecutor too.
It's important to know what school they went to and stuff like that.
Figure out whether they're my senior or junior.
She apparently is your classmate.
The same school as well.
It'd be easier to talk to her then.
- What's her name? - Prosecutor Cha Hyun Jung.
Criminal investigation department of the District Prosecutors' Office.
Cha Hyun Jung?
[ Deputy Chief Prosecutor Yang Sang Bae ]
Why are you taking so long to prosecute?
Just give him a 10-year sentence and wrap it up.
Join me at the special force and work on big cases.
I'm not done with the investigation yet.
Don't you know how things are these days?
The police do the investigation...
and we do the prosecution.
If the police asked you to prosecute...
you should respect that and proceed with it.
It's not that great of a case. Why hold on to it?
There are other things to further investigate including the motive.
I'll proceed in my own pace since it was assigned to me.
Geez, what an idiot...
Why was it assigned to her anyway?
Prosecutor Cha.
Are you having more ice?
I know how stressed you are, but...
you might ruin your teeth.
My dentist will take care of my teeth.
Did you get the witness for Jung Soo Ah's case?
The thing is... I couldn't do it.
Their parents won't agree to it since they're minors.
Also, that school is known for high security too.
So I...
got the written testimonies from Kim Han Soo's classmates.
Aigoo, it was so hard to get those few pages.
[ Written testimonies for Kim Han Soo's case ] What did they say?
Could you summarize it for me?
Kim Han Soo is the most problematic student in the school
and he's been constantly stalking Jung Soo Ah, a popular model student.
That clears things up. Thank you.
Don't mention it.
It's all thanks to my ability.
This explains the motive.
A problem student stalked her, went into her house, and stabbed her.
Yes.
Also, Kim Han Soo's lawyer is...
someone from Songha Law Firm, apparently.
Songha?
They're known for only representing wealthy and powerful people.
Am I missing something about the defendant's background?
There's no way.
He basically has no background.
Who's the lawyer?
It's Attorney Ki Moo Hyeok.
- Ki Moo Hyeok? - Yes.
He's apparently the ace lawyer at Songha Law Firm.
Ace my foot.
He's a scam artist.
He's a scam artist with a lawyer's license.
Hello!
Aigoo, the legal circle in this country is so small, isn't it?
Hello.
Good to see you again.
Ice Witch, Prosecutor Cha Hyun Jung.
What made you take on this case? It's not worth any money.
What do you mean?
It's a rewarding case where I could save a boy with a bright future.
I guess a cold-blooded person like you...
wouldn't understand a sense of reward like that.
A sense of reward?
You?
Did you even wet your lips before you lied?
Why would I wet my lips?
I have this nice thing.
I'll leave you two alone then.
Yes, thank you.
Did you hear that?
You'll ask for a 10-year sentence. We'll reduce it moderately.
We'll end it there without a rematch.
A rematch?
Of course. A dog isn't a dog if he stops eating poop.
Yes, it's Deputy Yang who's feeding us poop.
We're both eating poop. Let's not fight each other too much.
Feel free to eat it as much as you want.
He stalked her and planned it. 10 years isn't enough.
At least double that. 20 years.
Let's not get so emotional.
He's not a minor, but he's still a high school student.
He's an orphan, who deserves a lot of pity.
And you say 20 years?
Don't get too excited. Even 10 years is too much.
Do you want to be humiliated again like three years ago?
Whether the sentence is excessive or not
isn't up to you or me.
If you're that confident, insist in court.
Beg for a reduced sentence or insist that he's not guilty.
I don't clean other people's poop like you.
Did you find anything?
Yes, Kim Han Soo is almost like a caveman.
He doesn't have any social media account.
I wanted to ask some questions...
but the school won't even let me in.
There's a secret mobile app that only students can sign up.
What do you mean, "a secret app?"
I think it's an app run by students in secret.
You can only sign up with a Chunmyung High School email address.
I couldn't figure out what it's about.
Send me the link. I'll look into it.
Would you be able to crack it?
What kind of question is that?
You don't trust me at all.
You should've asked, "How long would it take?" instead.
So how long would it take?
In this right moment...
just like magic...
[ Chunmyung High School's Dark Bamboo Forest ]
It's pretty well protected for something made by a student,
but they're still an amateur.
There probably isn't much to see.
You said it's the most elite high school in the country.
Aren't they all model students?
The high and mighty people who go to jail...
They were all model students from elitist high schools and universities.
If they didn't have anything to hide...
why come up with such an app?
[ Chunmyung High School's Dark Bamboo Forest ]
[ Supposedly single teacher is actually married, sexual harassment by teacher... ]
They say hell is other people.
[ Isn't this J. S. A.? ]
Jung Soo Ah?
[ One week later ]
Hold on a second.
Why do I need a haircut for the trial?
Your hair is a mess. It looks like a pile of dust.
Please make it look clean.
Make it look almost too tidy.
Please trim his eyebrows and put some makeup on too.
Yes, I will.
We'll insist...
that you're not guilty.
Not guilty?
You said to admit the crime and reduce the sentence.
Why all of a sudden?
There's someone who's very serious about this case.
I didn't want to lose when I figured out how to win.
Nice.
Put it on.
You want me to wear my school uniform?
If a suit is a gentleman's weapon,
a school uniform is a student's weapon.
You're not No. 4221 today.
You're a high school student, Kim Han Soo.
You told me...
that a lawyer should have total faith in his client.
You're wrong.
Any fool can have faith.
I don't believe you, but...
I'll do whatever it takes and...
make you a free man.
Because that's what I think...
how a lawyer should be.
Let's start the trial.
The prosecution may announce the indictment.
Defendant Kim Han Soo is under indictment...
for the attempted murder of Jung Soo Ah.
The defense may present your case.
The defendant and I deny every charge...
against the defendant.
I insist that he's not guilty.
Victim Jung Soo Ah was passed out on her bed after getting stabbed.
And in that room...
there was the defendant who's her classmate.
Defendant used the knife in the kitchen to stab Soo Ah in her abdomen.
He sat on top of her and...
tried to suffocate her using a pillow.
This is the knife that was found at the crime scene.
The forensics department confirmed that...
the fingerprints matched the defendant's and...
Soo Ah's DNA and makeup was found on the pillow.
Since every evidence proves that the defendant...
tried to murder Soo Ah...
I request you to sentence him to...
20 years in prison for attempted murder.
20 years?
Defense.
- Present your counter-argument. - Yes.
Before I start, I'd like you to...
look at this picture first.
Do you see the wound?
The police didn't even try to hear about the situation...
nor provided urgent care to the defendant.
They pointed a gun at him, assaulted him, and put handcuffs on him.
Han Soo was actually...
desperately trying to save the victim.
That has nothing to do with truth.
Is that so?
You kept insisting your version of the story.
I thought it was okay.
- Your Honor. - I agree.
Defense, please only state the fact.
Yes, I'll be careful.
The important thing is that...
what happened in that room is...
unknown to me, the prosecutor,
or everyone in court right now.
Whether Han Soo actually tried to kill the victim...
or tried to save her after she got stabbed by someone...
is unknown to us except for the two of them.
Please keep that in mind.
Prosecutor.
Please proceed.
I request Defendant Kim Han Soo as the first witness.
This isn't a score. It's the class ratio.
Look at it carefully.
How could that be?
Ms. Ha So Hyun...
Ha So Hyun.
Yes?
Don't even think about attending the trial.
If you leave without notice again,
you'll have to do more than just writing a written apology.
You're insisting that you're the victim's boyfriend, right?
Yes.
She's my girlfriend.
Do you have any evidence to prove
your relationship with her then?
Whether it's a classmate's testimony,
a photo or anything.
Nobody knows.
Soo Ah didn't want other kids to know.
We kept it as a secret.
She didn't want to...
take pictures either.
So that means...
there's nothing to prove that you're in a relationship with her.
It's actually pretty common.
A lot of men think they're in a relationship...
when it's just unrequited love.
You said she's your girlfriend.
Are you sure you're not the only one who thinks that?
According to their classmates' testimonies...
defendant has been stalking and
threatening Soo Ah since he was a freshman.
It's not true.
It's all a lie!
I submit the testimonies from the students as evidence.
Defense, do you approve it as evidence?
I approve.
As long as I can check the content after the trial.
You followed her to her house, didn't you?
And you stabbed her because things didn't go the way you want.
I didn't do it.
You got suspended for assaulting a male student...
because he flirted with Soo Ah.
It's scary how obsessive you are.
It gives me chills.
As you witnessed, everything
including location, evidence, motivation, and unreliable testimony...
proves that the defendant attempted to murder Soo Ah.
That's all.
Defense, would you like to continue?
Yes.
Before I start, I apologize to everyone in this court
as the defense attorney.
The defendant who's sitting right here...
almost committed perjury just now.
Since he's not done testifying...
I'd like to clarify things as his attorney.
What's he trying to pull?
I'd like to clarify that the defendant's relationship with...
the victim is based on his opinion and memories.
The defendant considered the victim as his girlfriend,
but I recognize that the victim might think differently.
Are you playing word games in court right now?
No way.
I'm just trying to establish the truth.
If you insist that he's a stalker...
That's fine. I acknowledge that too.
But before I do...
there's something I need to reveal in the court today.
What? What?
What is that?
There's something I need to reveal in the court today.
What? What?
What is that?
Jung Soo Ah?
Victim Jung Soo Ah has been getting paid by men for dates.
In other words, she's been...
working as a prostitute.
Your Honor.
The defense is making things up right now.
No, I'm trying to figure out the truth based on facts.
Let's hear him out.
Defense, you may continue.
Thank you.
Victim Jung Soo Ah...
is known as a model student, but...
there's a hidden side of her.
Such as having a private meeting with a man at a hotel.
My goodness...
Of course, this doesn't make Soo Ah less of a victim.
Regardless of her character, we still need to find the culprit.
And they need to be punished.
But is the one who needs to be punished...
really the defendant who's sitting here?
The victim's house where the crime took place
isn't a normal apartment we know of.
It'd be more appropriate to call it...
a luxury townhouse.
There was a CCTV, but...
the tenants wanted to protect their privacy.
It was for real-time surveillance.
So nothing was recorded.
I'm sure the prosecution is aware of that too.
But I guess you weren't aware of this.
The footage is unrelated to this case.
Defense, was it recorded on the day of the crime?
No.
But you can't say it's unrelated.
This proves that there were men...
visiting the victim's house.
Who was the victim...
planning to meet at her house on the day of the crime?
The defendant who's sitting right here?
Would she have volunteered to let a stalker...
into her house?
That doesn't make sense, does it?
As you can see...
the victim has been having secret meetings with countless men
inside and outside her house.
It's highly likely that...
the real culprit is one of them.
"Proof of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt is required for conviction."
It's stated in the Criminal Procedure Law.
According to that...
the prosecution should immediately withdraw the indictment
and restart the investigation from the beginning.
Who was the victim meeting in her house?
What was their purpose of the visit?
Was there only one or more? How long and how frequent?
We should figure that out and find the real culprit...
Shut up!
What is he doing?
I... I did everything.
It was me!
I stabbed Soo Ah!
It's a lie. It's all a lie!
What do you know about Soo Ah?
You don't know anything!
It was me! I did it!
I did everything!
Let go! Let go!
Let go of me!
Let go!
How's your neck?
It's okay.
I'll schedule the next trial and let you know.
It'd be difficult to put the defendant back in court.
That works for me.
Works for me too.
Also, come to a consensus and settle down.
I won't allow something like this in my trials anymore.
It's too late to worry about that now.
He already wet his pants out of anger.
Forget acquittal. Focus on reducing the sentence.
You never know.
She might lessen his sentence since he admitted the crime.
You crazy bastard.
I tried to get you acquitted. How dare you throw a fit in court.
Why didn't you just punch me? That would've been more entertaining.
Did you want to rot in jail that much?
Good job.
Everyone in court witnessed how violent and...
emotionally unstable you are!
It was our chance to make them focus on prostitution instead of you.
And you ruined everything. Understand?
I never asked you to do that.
- What? - You planned all that on your own.
You didn't do that for me.
You shouldn't have messed with Soo Ah.
You don't know how tough her life is.
You ruined everything!
You're insane.
You weren't a stalker, but a follower.
You knew that she had sponsors, didn't you?
Why didn't you tell me then?
And you expect me to...
believe what you have to say?
No one would believe that stupid lie.
What?
You think it's unfair?
Did you even try to do something then?
The prosecution is trying their best to prove that you're guilty, but...
what did you do to prove your innocence?
You strangled me in court instead.
You lied to me and covered up the facts.
- And all you do is whine! - Stop!
You have nice parents and...
haven't suffered your whole life.
You're a privileged lawyer!
Do you even know...
how much I suffer?
Can you even imagine?
What?
- Do you think I'm funny? - I can't believe what you're saying.
Did I look that privileged to you?
I grew up in an orphanage like you.
What?
My parents died when I was eight.
Hit by a drunk driver on the wrong lane and died together.
I got expelled from high school too.
I got into a fight with a senior who was mugging a classmate.
I was framed for everything, and I flipped out.
Just like what you did in court today.
That's why I became a lawyer too.
Because I'd be able to defend myself
if something bad happens to me.
Not all orphans...
give up everything in life.
It's too s***ty.
You only have one life.
You can't die a victim.
She wanted to be free.
That's what Soo Ah told me.
She said she wants to be free now.
What does that mean?
Be free? From whom?
Is Soo Ah okay?
Finish what you were saying!
Please confirm that first.
What's Soo Ah's condition right now?
- Can she wake up or... - Which is it?
What condition does she have to be in for you to tell the truth?
Should she be recovering?
Or not being able to wake up?
Please find that out first.
Fine.
I'll come back tomorrow after confirming.
But remember this one thing.
If you don't tell me the truth,
tomorrow will be our last meeting.
Come to my office. Right now.
I'm sorry.
Are you okay...
Yes, sir. I'm at the detention center.
I'll be right there.
You insisted that he's not guilty?
I told you to reduce his sentence.
But you revealed a dirty scandal instead?
The prosecutor demanded a 20-year sentence first.
Kim Han Soo insisted that he's not guilty...
I gave you that case because...
I thought you could handle that easily.
He admitted to the crime.
Finish it up during the next trial.
Don't worry about reducing his sentence.
I can still win the case. If I give up now...
"The only ethic lawyers need to follow is...
to work for their clients' benefit."
That's what you used to say all the time.
Our client is Chunmyung Foundation.
It's not Kim Han Soo.
It's not something you should worry about.
Understand?
Guard!
Someone's dying! Hurry up!
- What's wrong? - Come in right now...
He's dying...
What's going on?
He's been having a stomachache for a while.
It must be an appendix if it's the lower right side.
Please call 911.
Look how much he's sweating.
Looking at his symptoms, I think it's acute appendicitis.
We need to do an ultrasound test to be sure.
Please write down what he had for lunch and dinner...
and how his physical condition has been.
- As much as you know. - Got it.
Please get him ready for an ultrasound.
Who are you?
How do you have Soo Ah's photo?
I'll protect her.
I will.
Where did he go anyway?
Go check over there.
What?
What? Is it a person?
- What? - What is it?
[ Attorney Ki Moo Hyeok ]
Yes.
He's ruining his own life.
He said "I did it, I did it" in court.
What am I supposed to do now?
Yes, I'm Ki Moo Hyeok of Songha Law Firm.
The hospital?
- What happened anyway? - The thing is...
He was sent to the ER because he had a stomachache.
But he fell from the rooftop...
What kind of guards are you...
It was your fault.
What did you say?
I heard everything when you were visiting him.
You yelled at him as if trying to kill him.
Well, the thing is...
Is this what you wanted?
I'll warn you now.
Don't try to win the case with coercion.
Everyone in the court saw...
Kim Han Soo strangling you.
Here's shocking news.
A suspect who was put in a detention center for attempted murder
attempted suicide and now he's in a coma.
The police found out that Kim, the prime suspect of attempted murder of a high school student,
had a discord with his attorney...
and is looking into the exact reason.
Kim's attorney who's in the center of the scandal
is from Songha Law firm, which is
one of the top law firms in Korea.
What do you mean, I'm suspended?
I can't accept it.
Why is it my fault that he jumped off a building?
Why do I have to be suspended?
That's what the public wants now.
It doesn't matter how much of it is your fault.
They just...
need someone to be punished...
until they don't feel angry anymore.
You know how scary...
the law of public sentiment...
and reprehension could be.
You've been working hard without taking a break.
Just think of it as a long vacation.
- When things get settled down... - No.
I'll never suffer for no reason.
The reason I became a lawyer is...
because I hate that more than anything.
Thank you for returning Yongdory back to me.
I'll make sure he returns to his father.
Moo Hyeok!
I'm concerned about you as a colleague.
Don't sweat it and look for a new job.
You could probably become an office manager.
You're a very ethical person!
Why do you want me to end it?
Neither the victim nor the defendant is conscious.
What's the point of keep poking at it?
I'll look for other suspects while waiting for them to wake up.
You should be prepared to resign too then.
[ Jung Soo Ah attempted murder case ] That's why...
I told you to give him a 10-year sentence.
Why did you make things complicated?
And if you...
investigate further and...
find the real culprit...
it means the defendant attempted suicide because he felt victimized.
- Would you be able to handle that? - I have to.
Even if I have to resign...
- Hey, Prosecutor Cha! - I'll continue to investigate...
until I get disciplined.
Geez!
[ Prosecution Service ]
Geez...
What perfect timing.
What?
Can you not find him or do you not want to?
Jung Soo Ah's sponsor.
What are you trying to say all of a sudden?
Let's talk in person.
I heard you got suspended.
You look worse than I thought.
Thank you for worrying about me.
Why don't you have some too?
We used to drink together during our training institute days.
It was fun to have soup with soju and beer after
losing a mock trial and getting yelled at by the professor.
It was all because of you.
You always made the trial into a nasty dog fight.
Wow.
You're good at blaming someone for what you did.
Wasn't your nickname "crazy bulldog" back then?
Because you never let go once you bite.
Cut the crap.
Do we still have a reason to see each other?
I'm sorry for what I did three years ago.
Getting stabbed in the back...
made me think about what I did in the past.
Even though I was trying to help the client...
I shouldn't have betrayed you like that.
I'm sorry.
I mean it.
Who are you kidding?
You don't think I know you?
Why are you trying to be all sentimental all of a sudden?
Yes.
I understand why you don't believe me. But...
let's think about it with our feelings set aside.
There are a lot of strange things about this case.
You acknowledge that too, right?
I've been thinking for the past few days.
Why is CEO Lee Do Jin doing this to me?
If it's not for loyalty or justice...
I was the one who was best at satisfying him.
Not only that he suspended me,
but he also contacted my VIP clients.
He left me all alone.
Why do you think that is?
What did I stumble upon that
he's dragging me down like this?
It was empty.
The townhouse Jung Soo Ah was living in.
Empty?
She lived in an apartment nobody owns?
It has an owner.
Since the construction company owns it.
The apartment Jung Soo Ah was living in was...
never for lease to begin with.
So...
a high school student lived alone in a luxury townhouse
owned by a construction company?
And there were men who frequented that place.
The more I hear about it, the weirder it sounds.
Why can't we keep investigating?
Because Kim Han Soo confessed.
He confessed in court himself.
The photos and videos with unknown sources
aren't enough to prove the prostitution.
And one more thing.
This might not be related to the case.
Lee Ki Hoon.
Your law firm CEO's son attends the same school as Jung Soo Ah.
He wrote a written testimony that Kim Han Soo stalked Soo Ah.
I don't think it's a coincidence that Kim Han Soo's case
was handed to you and
is Jung Soo Ah's classmate.
If what you say is true.
Yes, this is Cha Hyun Jung.
Yes, got it. I'll call you back.
What is it?
It's from the hospital Soo Ah's at.
He just became a murder suspect.
Kim Han Soo.
Ms. Jo.
- Are you okay? - I'm okay.
I need to be here. She was my student.
Thank you for keeping me company.
Don't mention it.
My student was involved too.
Soo Ah lives alone.
Her parents are abroad.
Your name is?
Please say Kim Han Soo.
I'm here on his behalf.
You'll sleep well tonight since Jung Soo Ah died.
What? Do you want to die too?
What? You want to kill me too?
You'll sleep well tonight since Jung Soo Ah died.
Hey!
[ Mr. Temporary ]
You won't get caught.
It's a pefect copy.
I have great eyesight and sense of justice.
You almost got arrested for assault.
Let's work together as the homeroom teacher and the assistant homeroom teacher.
How did you become a teacher anyway?
A temporary teacher to be specific.
They're dummies.
They're supposed to be on top in the country.
The trial is suspended until he can...
make decisions himself.
I'm saying there might be evidence.
You want to end up like Han Soo?
No, I won't!
Try it if you can. Try it!
Wait for me.
I'll make sure they won't sleep at night.
