(All characters, organizations, places, cases, and incidents...)
(in this drama are fictitious.)
She wants to fire us? Are you serious?
Ms. Yoon sent this to terminate the attorney-client relationship.
Why does she want to fire us?
We went through hoops and did all that work.
Why? She's about to get an acquittal.
(Choi Yun Jung)
I bet it's because of this woman.
Choi Yun Jung?
So Mr. Kang is behind all of this?
253, you have a visitor.
Choi Yun Jung?
I wondered if it was some idiot I stole money from in the past,
but you're a good-looking guy.
Why does a prosecutor need a fake name?
Mr. Go Tae Rim is certainly the best lawyer.
You think so?
Then I made the right choice.
He may be able to get you acquitted.
I'd love that.
However, you should not get acquitted.
- I said I didn't do it. - Perhaps, this time.
But you killed two people in the past.
Those cases have nothing to do with this.
You must admit to murdering Lee Joon Il.
Have you lost your mind?
Only then will everyone be happy.
Including you, of course.
Including me?
Please hear me out first. Then you can make your decision.
You can decide whether you'll deny or admit to the murder.
You got into Lee Joon Il's house.
Then you poured the poison into the soup bowl in the kitchen.
- Is that correct? - Yes.
Then my death penalty will be confirmed.
Mr. Go won't let that happen.
And I'll help you as well, of course.
You should find the first witness.
What will you get from berating the prosecutor?
Goodbye.
The first witness?
I hereby cancel the original verdict.
I'll be handling the next trial myself.
I'll be requesting a life sentence.
A life sentence?
Considering everything you've done,
I think it's fair.
Those who committed crimes must be punished.
Are you saying I should rot here until I die?
If you reject my offer, what I mentioned earlier...
will be exposed to the world.
Then what do you think will happen?
Even if you manage to get acquitted,
do you think you can be happy?
Okay, fine. I heard you.
All right. For the trial to go according to our plan,
we need a lawyer who's easier to handle.
Please fire Mr. Go.
He obviously schemed up this ruse because he can't win fairly.
The word has it...
that Mr. Kang will probably handle the next trial.
But why?
Why is Mr. Kang doing all this?
I heard you and Sung Gi Jun are on bad terms.
How about I get you evidence that can take him down for good?
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.
But why is Yoon Do Hee listening to Mr. Kang?
Choi Yun Jung, who saw her right before the appeal hearing,
would know the answer to that question.
Kang Gi Seok, what card are you holding in your hand?
Who's her new attorney? Who took it on?
I'm sure it's someone who's much easier to handle than Mr. Go.
Someone who's easier to handle?
I was just wondering if there was a misunderstanding.
I heard you'd like to hire me as your attorney.
Yes, what's your problem?
Gosh, there's no problem.
I left B and G. I'm trying to start my own practice.
- Were you aware? - Yes, I know.
Then why... Why on earth...
So what's your answer? Will you take it on or not?
I should, of course.
I just wanted to gather some information, that's all.
Monster Pervert must've asked for way too much money.
I'm practical, and I'm considerate of my clients' financial situations.
I'd be happy with an average fee,
so you made a wise choice.
- 10 years. - 10 years?
Why? Will it be hard?
Well, even if the original verdict was annulled,
unless the Supreme Court follows the presumption of innocence...
15 years, then.
Then I'll get out in 10 years if I don't cause trouble.
That's not up to me to decide.
We'll have to see what the prosecution requests...
and how the trial unfolds.
I think it's best to try to use extenuating circumstances.
Anyway, do your best.
Yes, I'll do my very best and work extremely hard.
Take care.
What do I do now?
My gosh, what should I do?
I guess Mr. Yoon took on the case.
What a nuisance. That man sticks his nose in everything.
You got your spot stolen.
Watch and learn. I'll show you what I'm really capable of.
I know this isn't the usual order,
but please allow the prosecution to request a sentence first.
Following the indictment, we'd like to convict...
the defendant of murder and attempted murder...
and sentence her to life imprisonment.
Planning to strike first?
Sure, if that's your strategy...
This is rather an unusual thing to do as an attorney,
but please allow me to share my opinion.
We trust that the defendant, Yoon Do Hee, should be acquitted.
I told you to go for 10 years.
The Supreme Court didn't have an opinion while annulling the verdict,
but the prosecution's evidence and witnesses lack credibility.
Thus, I strongly insist that the defendant is not guilty.
He probably has no idea,
but Mr. Yoon was on our side after all.
Finally, I get to be in the spotlight.
I shall enjoy it to the fullest.
Hello.
Why did Ms. Yoon suddenly decide to get a new lawyer?
Do you think she can be acquitted?
Everyone wants a good lawyer.
Ms. Yoon chose me...
because she trusts me more than her former attorney.
To live up to her expectations,
I'll do my best to get my client acquitted.
Is there another reason why she got a new lawyer?
- Well, another reason would be... - Kang Gi Seok.
No, shall I call you Choi Yun Jung instead?
"Admit to the murder at the appeal hearing..."
"and hire a new lawyer."
You managed to tame that arrogant, cold, vicious woman...
and turned her into a gentle lamb.
I have no idea what weakness of hers that you know,
- but you won't get your way. - Aren't you mistaken?
You've already been pushed out of the ring.
You can no longer fight against me even if you'd like to.
"Those who committed crimes must be punished."
"We speculate you committed additional crimes,"
"so you should be punished for all of them."
"The evidence was fabricated,"
"and the witness lied, but you should still be punished."
"Why? Because that is what the public wants."
Prosecutor Dong Han Gi has been a bad influence on you.
The thing is, there's a reason I must represent Yoon Do Hee.
Stop being so obsessed with winning.
Maybe next time, but you won't get a chance this time.
Sung Gi Jun.
I bet that jerk is trying to influence the trial.
From how you were chosen as the assistant prosecutor for the case...
to how you were selected to handle the next trial.
Why do you think that is? Simply because he hates me?
You're just being used...
without even knowing the real reason.
You're right. I don't know.
And I don't want to know.
"I don't care what the truth is."
"I just have to win."
For someone who says those, I don't think you can lecture me.
So, you don't care about the truth?
You just want to get in my way. Is that it?
Enjoy this while you can.
It will be a very short while.
Are you really helping Sung Gi Jun?
Did you come to cheer me on...
and visit me in the hospital as a part of the show?
Why go from the death penalty to life imprisonment?
Is there a problem with the evidence?
I have no problem proving her guilt.
I considered the Supreme Court's reason for returning the case...
and reviewed the files.
My conclusion was that life sentence would be more appropriate.
That's all.
Is there no other reason?
Was Gi Seok always like that?
He changed since he became a prosecutor.
The desire to beat me turned to despair,
and now he can no longer live off of my fame.
He developed a new persona.
That of a whiner who never cared about...
the outcome and only about realizing his ideals.
Gosh, what a whiner.
You whine even more.
This is just wrong.
If we don't do something, Do Hee won't get a fair trial,
and the truth will be buried.
I don't care about the truth,
but I'll lose my fee.
Yoon Do Hee was my prey from the start.
If she gets away, I'll get her back.
Ta-da. Are you surprised?
I have no business with them.
Why? Are you disappointed it's not Choi Yun Jung?
What did you and Prosecutor Kang talk about?
What are you hiding from us?
Why do you want a guilty verdict?
You're still a kindergartener who talks too much.
I can't answer all your questions.
Although, I have no plan to answer.
We had something going.
The farewell was too abrupt.
Not unless you suddenly developed a thing...
for idiots like Yoon Sang Koo.
You know what happens to men...
who see me for too long.
I let you go for your sake.
You shouldn't be so clingy.
What? Do you want your money?
I'll pay the retainer fees.
It's not about money.
It is about money. And what you promised me.
I'm grateful for your efforts.
But farewells are best kept clean.
Bye-bye.
I thought you did it.
Just when we almost got you off the hook,
you fired us to get a guilty verdict.
There's only one reason.
If you're acquitted,
the hunt for the real killer...
will begin and that could be a problem.
Do you think I'd cover for someone?
You lived only to fulfill your desires.
- You know me well. - That's why...
if there is someone you want to protect, that's the killer.
I will find that person.
That look. The look that I got you where it hurts.
Find all the men...
she dated since kindergarten.
Got it, kindergartener?
"Kindergartener"?
At least that's human.
Dad.
Father and daughter were so close.
Even after her mom got sick and died,
Ha Na didn't show her grief.
She pretended to be strong, saying that if she cried,
her dad would cry too.
She really loved her dad then.
Ha Na stopped smiling...
when she showed up.
It hurts.
Yes. She instinctively knew the woman was dangerous.
She's a very clever kid.
I'm very worried about Ha Na.
That's why you suggested Mr. Lee break up with the defendant.
Can't you give up on the relationship?
Did he accept your advice?
It was of no use at first.
But in the end,
he said he'd leave her for Ha Na's sake.
That decision drove the defendant over the edge...
and caused her to commit a terrible crime?
Are you saying that what I did...
It's not your fault.
Ha Na closed up after her father's death.
Now she started to speak and is going to school.
It's because you looked after her like family.
Thank you.
Ha Na still...
sits under the tree her parents planted for her...
and spends time thinking about the happier days.
I sincerely hope that the day comes when...
she can smile like before.
Mr. Yong, can you tell us what you do for a living?
I deliver Chinese food.
Did you deliver to Lee Joon Il's a few times?
Not often. Once or twice a month?
Did you ever see Yoon Do Hee at home?
Yes. A month or so before the murder?
I delivered two jjamppong and sweet and sour pork.
She was there.
This is very important.
Had Mr. Lee ever ordered jjamppong before?
I checked the order records.
It was just that day.
As you see,
Lee Joon Il had never ordered jjamppong.
That was because Mr. Lee and his daughter Ha Na...
preferred jajangmyeon over jjamppong.
But based on other witness accounts,
the defendant prefers jjamppong.
It's unrelated to the case.
How is it unrelated? It's deeply related.
What's your point, counsel?
I'll get to it right now.
Witness. Who called to order the food that day?
It was the kid's voice.
The daughter.
Do you see it?
For the defendant, Ha Na...
ordered jjamppong that she doesn't even like.
That proves that...
the defendant and Ha Na didn't have a bad relationship...
that the prosecution wants you to think.
They were probably close.
Imagine this.
They sit opposite with their jjamppong,
split the chopsticks,
and eat, dripping red broth down their chins.
The sweet and sour pork. Was it dunked or drenched?
Imagine the cheerful atmosphere of food being shared.
Perhaps that's where this song came from.
My mom said she doesn't like jajangmyeon
Murder? In that kind of household?
Based on biased witness statements,
the prosecution is making my client out to be a murderer.
That's all.
Let me ask you something.
Are you sure they ordered jjamppong?
That's why I delivered it to them.
3 times over the past 2 months,
you got told off by your boss...
for delivering jjamppong instead of jajangmyeon...
and vice versa.
Yes.
Did you make a mistake that day,
and when the defendant saw you'd brought her favorite,
did she just take it, ignoring Ha Na's taste?
Objection. It's a mere speculation.
Isn't using Chinese food to decide...
whether there was any affection...
in itself a flimsy argument?
That's all.
Jjamppong? My foot.
- What now? - What?
Shark's fin soup.
- What? - I don't like noodles.
Okay.
Stop being a fool saying I'm innocent.
Get me 10 years under extenuating circumstances.
Do as you're told.
Or you're fired.
Okay. Got it.
Don't try too hard. You're just a pawn.
What do you mean?
Why did Yoon Do Hee fire Tae Rim who got her case sent back?
Because based on pay or capabilities...
Are you that out of touch with reality?
She made a deal with Kang Gi Seok.
That's why he went down to life in prison.
Even so, her life is at stake.
Sung Gi Jun. He's behind this.
I don't know what it's about,
but I get the feeling he's deeply involved in this case.
Sung Gi Jun?
Hey. What...
What's going on?
Is anyone there?
I'm hungry.
I will make him pay.
I'll get revenge myself.
- Did he confess? - Well... Not yet.
Did you...
give him my message?
Yes. Of course, I did.
But for some reason, he just won't open up.
There's the security camera footage.
There's such clear evidence. Can't you sort it out?
The thing is... It's not that easy.
I'm being watched because of the faulty statement from last time.
I think Go Tae Rim suspects something.
If he snoops around and check the investigation method, it'd be...
- Detective. - Yes?
Don't back out now.
You did well so far.
You should become Hankang Group's Head of Security when you retire.
Let's do a better job, okay?
Yes, sir.
- What are you doing? - Pardon?
- Aren't you going to leave? - Oh, right. Yes.
Where would you like to go, sir?
Can't you do your job properly?
Do I need to deal with people like him myself?
I'm sorry, sir.
Did you forget how much money I ended up losing...
because of that jerk, Cho Geum Se?
You can plead the Fifth,
but that's not going to change how this ends.
Let's make this easy for both of us.
Cheol Jin, please.
- This came via registered mail. - Okay.
It's from Cho Geum Se,
the guy who sued Hankang Group for his wrongful dismissal.
I can't say it can completely replace your fees,
but I sent...
some documents I had back when I was at Hankang.
These are just financial documents of Hankang Distribution.
It's mostly just a list of stuff they bought for the CEO's office.
Tissues, coffee, A4 paper...
It's just a bunch of junk.
What can I do with this?
This is exactly what Cho Geum Se would do.
(Purchase of Equipment and Gear)
What's this?
This is Sung Gi Jun and...
Isn't this Bae Man Ho, the guy whom people thought...
got murdered by a part-timer?
I'm all about give and take.
That goes for everything including money, fighting, and people's lives.
And I should pay you back including interest.
- Come with me. - To where?
We need to get Yoon Do Hee back.
That's the only way we can catch him.
Are you sure this is the right place?
Yes, he's apparently the person that Yoon Do Hee relied on the most.
He used to be a gangster.
But after meeting her, he became a professional in martial arts.
Then we should go and meet him.
I... I have an appointment. I need to go now.
Don't go.
How exciting.
What brings you here?
Oh, we're just a couple of attorneys who were passing by.
We'll be off now. Bye.
You know Ms. Yoon Do Hee, right?
I loved her.
She was the only woman I ever loved in my entire life.
She told me that she was pregnant.
But back then, I was too immature.
I suggested that we should raise the kid together.
But she said she'd rather die...
than to have the baby grow up with a dad like me.
- So I left her. - Die!
The prosecutor promised to keep it a secret.
I'm sure that's also what she wants.
So I'm hoping you will also keep it a secret.
This is all I can do for her now.
That's what happened?
I don't think we can call this a coincidence.
How could something like that happen?
Why did he make us kneel?
I have a cramp.
What do you want? I have nothing to say to you.
And who's this woman?
I figured you might be bored, so as a means to give you a break,
I brought this woman who's a professional...
- A tarot reader. - Yes, she's a tarot reader.
- Goodness, is that dust? - Dust?
Gosh, I'm sorry.
Stop doing unnecessary stuff.
Just do as I ask, okay?
Bye.
I know Jae In asked you to do this, but isn't this a bit too much?
I thought you were on Sung Gi Jun's side.
Hangkang Group controls B and G Law Firm.
And Sung Gi Jun controls Hankang Group.
If Monster Pervert succeeds in catching Sung Gi Jun...
Then will Professor Song get fired?
Does that mean Mr. Bang can return to the firm?
Then we should help them. I'll do my best.
Let's get more of her hair.
Hello, do you have a specific hairstyle in mind?
We have the DNA test results.
My goodness.
Do you think the culprit is...
What should I do? It's Prosecutor Kang.
Why are they the ones talking? I'm Yoon Do Hee's attorney.
I know, right? They both don't seem to be in a good mood.
I heard you went there.
Then I'm sure you found out what can make everyone unhappy.
- It was Ha Na, wasn't it? - It was Yoon Do Hee.
It doesn't matter who the real culprit is.
Yoon Do Hee was the one who made the situation turn out like that.
That's not true.
She didn't even care...
when the entire world was against her.
But now, she's trying to risk her life to keep this a secret.
"Attorneys should do their best for the benefit of their clients."
That's also what you always to say.
Don't you think you should do what's best for both...
Yoon Do Hee and Ha Na?
I personally think...
the truth doesn't matter as long as everyone can be happy.
That's so touching. I might even cry.
It was worth teaching you.
I'm glad you understand.
I'm really crying right now.
Why is he crying?
Stop it. It doesn't suit you.
She caught me.
Prosecutor Kang.
I still think the truth is important.
But if we reveal the truth...
Even if someone gets hurt and everyone becomes unhappy,
there's nothing we can do if that's what the actual truth is.
Gosh, isn't she so pathetic and annoying?
She's been like this ever since the first day we met.
She's self-righteous, irritating, and so stubborn.
She's like a goldfish, tadpole, and a chick.
When are you going to hatch?
When will you crack your egg open?
You're just a guy who's greedy and crazy about money.
And you're a nasty fraud who uses...
people's weaknesses against them in order to win.
Why are they fighting?
So we're going to try a little harder.
- That's not very good news. - We're not good at giving up.
We're still very much attached to the case.
See you.
I told you, didn't I?
Tae Rim, you got kicked out of the ring.
What's the purpose of today's trial?
We're going to get rid of the prosecution's weapon.
Mr. Kim I Su.
You've been working very hard as an informant for many years...
at Go Tae Rim Law Firm.
Yes, that's right. But I can't forgive the fact...
that I haven't been getting paid properly for the past year.
I was also very surprised when I heard about that.
I can't believe he did something like that.
I'm sure of it.
Mr. Gu Se Joong is in charge of the company's finances.
And it turns out that he had been stealing my salary.
I want him to return the entire sum that he took.
Monster Pervert is handling a lawsuit?
His employees sued each other?
Yes.
Okay.
Monster Pervert.
What in the world are you doing?
I was in urgent need of some money.
But to be honest, I'm also a victim.
- What do you mean? - I was scammed.
The woman I used to date back then took everything from me.
She's the one at fault.
He should be asking her for his money.
Can you please tell us who that woman is?
Oh, well...
Yoon Do Hee.
Yoon Do Hee?
Are you talking about the famous Yoon Do Hee?
Yes, the woman that's being suspected of murder.
- What? Yoon Do Hee? - Yes, that's right.
Are you saying you got seduced by that witch?
I'm sure he's just lying.
Judging by their age difference,
it's completely impossible.
Objection, Your Honor.
He's currently insulting my client...
without even checking the facts.
What about his age? Age is just a number.
How can there be a barrier when it comes to love?
Do you not agree, Your Honor?
Counsel, please refrain from making such comments.
I'm sorry, Your Honor.
(The judge has a girlfriend who's 25 years younger...)
Your Honor, I'd like to call Yoon Do Hee as our next witness.
Please allow her to attend our next trial.
Okay, I agree. We should call her here...
to see who's lying.
I also request for her appearance.
- I request for her appearance. - I request for her appearance.
But that's a little...
The age difference doesn't matter.
What does age have anything to do with love?
Don't you agree, Your Honor?
Okay, I guess the truth needs to be uncovered.
The age difference doesn't matter.
As a witness? That is absurd!
I don't even know who that is.
Gosh, let go!
Ms. Yoon, do you know the defendant?
No, I don't.
Defendant Gu Se Joong insists that he dated you a year ago.
Defendant, you dated Ms. Yoon Do Hee in the past, right?
Please answer my question. You dated her, didn't you?
Yes, I did date her.
Ms. Yoon, will you still deny it?
I told you that I don't know him.
Let's get specific, then. He has stated that he met up...
with you on the night of March 13, 2018.
No, I did not meet him.
Do you think I'm crazy? Why would I date that old man?
Right, of course.
That was the day when Lee Joon Il was murdered.
You were probably at the scene, committing the murder.
Hence, Mr. Gu must be remembering it inaccurately.
If you're lying now,
it means that you weren't the real culprit behind the murder.
- What is this? - It'd be crazy to admit...
that you're guilty of something that you didn't do, right?
What are you trying to do now?
You're actually trying to protect someone.
It doesn't make sense, right?
That'd be all.
Well, Audrey.
Now, I know what happened.
That's why you've been pushing me away.
No, it's a misunderstanding.
I'm sorry I had no clue.
That you only like young, pretty women.
Well, let me explain...
Thank you for the good times.
Yes, you're right.
I only like young, pretty women.
What did you just say?
There's one standing right in front of me now.
What?
Me?
To me, you're the most youthful, beautiful lady in the whole world.
Would you be my girlfriend?
Mr. Gu.
I don't know what to say!
Isn't it possible that you don't remember the defendant...
because you've dated too many men?
What is this about?
I'll take that as you remember everyone you've dated.
Then I'll give you an example. Do you happen to remember...
Mr. An Bae Dal, who used to be a member of a gang...
but is a martial artist now?
Mr. An and you were in a relationship 13 years ago.
No, I don't. I don't know that man.
I heard you had his child.
I don't know that man.
Your Honor, the counsel is questioning the witness unfairly.
I request you to stop him immediately.
You're just here as an audience. Could you please be quiet?
Your question is completely unrelated to the case.
That's not for you to judge.
Your Honor, I was going to raise an objection,
thinking that it's probably irrelevant,
but I now think that it may be deeply connected to the case,
so I request that you allow him to continue.
Mr. An said he suggested to you that you two should have the baby.
[VIU Ver] jTBC E14 'Legal High' "Tae Rim Gets Fired" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
When I visited her again later,
she had already left with our baby.
(Birth Certificate)
This is the baby's birth certificate.
On April 19, 2007,
you gave birth to a healthy baby girl who weighed 2.984kg.
Because Mr. An and you were struggling financially,
you had to give her up for adoption even though it broke your heart.
You didn't even ask where she was being sent to.
After that, you erased that daughter of yours from your mind.
Am I wrong?
Ms. Yoon, do not answer his question.
You don't have to answer it if you don't want to.
However, I'll keep questioning you.
Years later, you were...
practically hit by lightning at the residence of Mr. Lee Joon Il,
your new prey at the time.
Stop.
You met a girl...
with the exact same date of birth.
Why are you just standing there? Say hello.
Hello.
From her looks to even the two moles on her hand,
I bet she looked just like your daughter.
"That's impossible. No way."
You kept denying it,
but because of the bond that grew each time you saw her,
you gradually became convinced.
Shut your mouth.
You must've been shouting this inside.
"This girl..."
"is my daughter, whom I had to give up 13 years ago for adoption!"
Shut your mouth, please!
You're spewing utter nonsense.
You're being delusional. I don't have a child.
That arrogant brat is a complete stranger to me.
Then would you like to see the DNA maternity test result?
Who are you to do this to me?
Let go!
Please calm down, Ms. Yoon.
I'm simply speculating here.
You probably started...
visiting their place more often because you wanted to see Ha Na.
You might have sincerely hoped...
to marry Mr. Lee so that you could become her mother.
But since Ha Na had no idea where you were coming from,
she assumed you were trying to steal her mother's spot,
and I bet she made sure to express her anger toward you.
Leave. Get out of our house.
Get out!
Do Hee.
Mr. Lee seemed to be thinking...
of breaking up with you because of his daughter's reaction.
Ha Na is a big girl now. Yes.
- But actually, - Ha Na misses you a lot too.
he started looking for a relative who could look after her.
In other words, he chose you over his daughter.
Ha Na must've been so devastated when she found out about it.
It kept bothering me.
Knowing they both drank the same poison,
I questioned why Mr. Lee, who was a big guy, lost his life...
when Ha Na, who's a little girl, could survive.
No. That's not what happened.
She must be extremely smart.
It was only possible because she controlled the amount...
of the poison for herself as well as her father.
She knew no one would suspect her if she did that.
She knew you'd be the one to be suspected.
And that actually happened.
Please, I beg you.
That little girl, who framed you for murder,
must be fooling everyone,
acting like a poor girl who lost her father even as we speak now.
That is not what happened.
The woman she framed for the murder of her father is her birth mom,
but she has no idea whatsoever.
No!
She didn't kill him.
She loved her father so much.
There's no way she did such a thing.
Oh, I see.
Then the only one left is the victim, Mr. Lee Joon Il.
He was so sick and tired of putting up...
with his daughter, who didn't want him to marry you.
The hopelessness and despair...
drove him to commit suicide with his daughter.
And he left behind an insurance payout for you, the woman he loved.
Even if that was what happened,
it wouldn't change the fact that the murder would be pinned on you.
If Ha Na finds out that her dad, whom she loved, tried to kill her,
she wouldn't be able to go on with her life.
You...
must've wanted to embrace her with your everything.
I bet you wanted to hold her hand...
and look at her face for hours.
I'm sure you wanted...
to confess everything to her as if you were atoning for your sins.
But you probably couldn't do it.
The moment you do that, she'll become...
the daughter of the evil witch whom everyone hates.
The person you're trying to protect is your daughter, Lee Ha Na.
Stop. That's enough.
Objection, Your Honor. This is unrelated to the case.
Sustained.
You must be relieved now that the truth is out in the open.
The media is going crazy.
Ha Na can't even go to school because of the press.
Now there's nothing more for you to protect.
Therefore, there's no reason for you to want to be guilty.
What's the wise thing to do now?
Why not take me back...
and at least clear your name?
Then give me the contingency fee you promised.
Why hesitate?
"I don't care what happens to the girl."
"I live to fulfill my greed."
That's you.
That's enough. You're going too far.
I'm like this because she used and abused me.
Yoon Do Hee.
You have no choice to work with me.
Put the blame on Ha Na and clear yourself.
- I won't get her involved. - It's too late.
She's not to blame.
- Do something. - It's over.
Do something about this!
It can't be helped! You abandoned her anyway!
Just ignore her!
Can you not talk like that?
You care about the truth.
Whether the client becomes unhappy, you just want the truth.
You're at the forefront of all this.
Yes, but...
it's important to protect the client.
Then what should we do?
Do you have another plan, kindergartener?
I'll get Do Hee acquitted,
then I'll save Ha Na.
That's impossible.
We got this far. I'll try.
How?
What will you do?
I'll come up with a new truth.
Correct answer.
Ms. Yoon.
Let's try again.
Go ahead.
Okay.
Ms. Yoon. You said you admit to the crime...
and want to atone for it. Is that true?
Yes.
I killed Joon Il.
- What? - Really?
What was your motive?
He wanted to break up with me and out of despair,
I meant to kill him, then kill myself.
Some say you're lying to cover for Ha Na,
your daughter.
That's not true.
What about the rumor that Ha Na is your daughter?
That's nonsense.
I tried to kill her too.
Did you?
How did you purchase the poison?
I got it online, from the Dark Web.
Is this it?
Yes, that's right.
Did you bring this to Lee Joon Il's home?
- Yes. - You went in...
through the back door and poured this into the soup pot. Yes?
I didn't get to...
add it.
You didn't add it?
What's going on?
Dad, that's not fair. You must make a sound.
Where are you?
I got you.
You got me.
Ha Na. You're all grown up.
Do you still like these games?
Yes, I do.
We used to play this with Mom.
It's my favorite game.
Seeing father and daughter together...
brought me back to reality.
I got scared of the terrible thing I was about to do.
- Dad, I'm hungry. - Are you?
I got flustered and left.
I realized the fact the next day.
The bottle wasn't in my bag where I thought it had been.
I'd left it on the kitchen counter when I left in a hurry.
And then...
I saw the news that Joon Il was dead.
I see.
This looks like a delicious food additive.
If this is in the kitchen,
an unfortunate accident is bound to happen.
An accident?
Objection.
The defendant admitted to a crime.
That's true. I left the poison there,
so I practically killed him.
"Practically"?
I understand how you feel,
but you didn't kill him.
I definitely tried to kill them both.
At that time,
I was a murderer.
As expected, the truth is surprising.
Yoon Do Hee is an evil woman who cannot be forgiven.
She tried to kill the man she loved and his daughter.
Based on what transpired,
her crime is grievous.
She should be severely punished.
Under the Toxic Chemicals Control Act.
But as for murder, she's not guilty.
Because this case is more likely...
an accidental death, not a murder.
Can I not be punished for murder?
Yes. That's the law.
That's all.
I'm tainted.
What a huge fuss over some fine dust.
Yoon Do Hee.
What about everything you confessed to?
Are you blaming...
the idea that you wanted to kill them, not the action?
- Yes. - Did you think such a...
shameless and pitiful defense would work here?
Objection.
Calling a defense shameless and pitiful...
- is an insult to the witness. - Sustained.
You're mocking the court with this childish play.
Mocking?
Isn't it mockery to deny the witness' cry...
from the heart without evidence?
Gross negligence.
Yes. It's gross negligence.
You brought the poison to kill them...
and left it on purpose.
You knew this would happen.
Your Honor. This is murder, without a doubt.
The defendant said so.
I see.
Do you mean you accept her testimony?
Even though it goes directly against all your evidence?
Then why don't you admit that your evidence...
and argument are all wrong?
If this is murder due to gross negligence,
gather evidence to support that...
and prosecute from the start.
Prosecution, do you have any more questions?
Well... So...
Defendant. You may leave the stand.
Wait, Ms. Yoon.
I can't accept such nonsense.
After all the things I did for you and your daughter.
You can't betray me like this.
The prosecution is speaking incoherently.
That's enough.
We'll call it a day.
This is just wrong.
Don't you know how many people she plunged into unhappiness?
She should repent in prison for decades...
before rejoining society.
If not, the number will only increase.
And Jae In, no...
Lawyer Seo.
When did you resort to tricks?
You called me Monster Pervert with a different face.
You're Monster Pervert himself.
Is that bad?
A victory obtained by crushing, persuading, and threatening others.
You would have faced greater guilt.
You're fixated on winning because of guilt.
It's nothing more than an outlet.
If you stop winning, your life becomes meaningless.
Am I wrong?
- He's not wrong. - You're wrong.
I do it just for this.
Just stop!
Instead of the ugliness of humanity,
look at the the beauty of humanity.
Try to trust that people can be pure.
Then people can yield and compromise instead of hating each other.
Instead of making people become miserable,
we can make people become happy.
We should aim for that.
Love and peace.
Was that a speech for a beauty pageant?
Gi Seok, you really need to step down...
from that high horse you're riding.
The people we meet in court...
deceive their own friends and lie whenever they want.
They make other people miserable to get what they want,
and they beat people up or even kill them...
just because they feel offended. Do you understand?
That's the kind of world we live in.
But you think you're better than them, don't you?
That's why you keep looking down on everyone...
acting as if you're flying up in the air.
You keep thinking you can control things...
to make people compromise and become happy.
It's like you think you're a deity.
You need to acknowledge that you're just like those scumbags.
Did you just call me a scumbag?
Are you not?
You used the trial and made someone act in your favor...
just so you could realize your ideal.
And you make up lousy proverbs because of that self-righteous,
arrogant, and lukewarm competitiveness of yours.
You're a fake who tries to imitate me.
You act all noble when you can't even get your hands dirty.
You're a pathetic punk who dreams of getting a noble victory.
I'm going to cut it short because I'm not feeling so well.
But I still have 5,470 more criticisms left for you.
- Hey! - Gi Seok!
I can't give up yet.
No, I won't give up.
I wouldn't even have started...
if I was going to give up because of your spiteful remarks.
Some people mistake the law of inertia for their beliefs.
And you're mistaken.
You say I'm on a high horse,
but you look down on everyone from the clouds.
He caught me.
You have no right to lecture him.
You're even worse.
I'll announce the sentence. Here's the verdict.
We find the defendant, Yoon Do Hee, not guilty.
Here's the reason behind the verdict.
Based on the collected facts, the suspicions...
of murder and attempted murder...
Here's the DNA test result.
I'm sorry we took the test without asking you.
You can get rid of it if you don't need it.
Look.
(Probability of maternity: 0.00 percent)
Ha Na, I guess your mom is up above in paradise.
Are you really okay?
She smiled when she found out that I'm not her mom.
That's more than enough.
Just for your information, this is the actual test result.
You can choose to look at it or not. It's up to you.
What? Why would you...
I'm sure this one's also fake.
No, this one's real.
There was no DNA test, was there?
You're good.
What? What do you mean?
I need to go now.
I have a meeting with a publishing company.
They want me to publish an autobiography or something.
I don't mind since it'll help me make money.
Aren't you forgetting something? I'm sure you owe me something.
I'll send you the location later.
It's hidden somewhere.
Bye, then.
You'd better keep your promise.
If it's something lousy, I'm going to make Gi Seok...
indict you again.
Wait a minute. There was no DNA test?
Then what's Yoon Do Hee and Ha Na's relationship?
What's the truth?
Does that mean Lee Joon Il tried to commit suicide with Ha Na?
That's a possibility.
Ha Na's the culprit, right?
She could be.
Was it Yoon Do Hee?
That's also a possibility.
Wait a minute.
Then for what did I put on that act in court?
What's going on right now might be the truth.
I have an appointment. I need to go now.
I also have an appointment.
- What? - Did I get fooled again?
What?
I even thought of quitting my job as an attorney.
You know what? You should quit.
Your contract's over now,
so you should change jobs.
I noticed that you're quite good at acting.
It'd be interesting to see you put on a goldfish mask...
and act in front of the kids.
Waddling, waddling.
Then what's the truth?
Nothing's been revealed.
Hey, stop.
Hey, stop right there!
Gosh, stop it!
Ha Na, you must be hungry. Just wait a little bit.
Okay, ma'am.
(Maeil Books)
Eun Hye.
Have you been well?
Long time no see.
It's our first time seeing each other after Eun Jung died.
It's been 15 years.
Yes.
Were you the one who called me here?
No, they really want to publish the book.
I just borrowed their time.
I have nothing to say to you.
Do Hee, you should've thought of Eun Jung.
How could you give something like that to Tae Rim?
I have to survive too.
Will this do?
No way.
Do you consider the promise you made with Tae Rim...
more important than money?
You must've changed a lot.
Forget it if you don't want it.
(1,000,000 dollars)
This? Someone pulled a prank on me.
Did you take care of what I mentioned to you last time?
Of course. I took care of it nice and clean.
That's why I'm here. I wanted to consult you about something.
(Hankang New Materials and TCAN Group's Joint Factory)
It's such a great opportunity.
I thought you already knew why the chairman was against this.
Gosh.
No one will know if we pay people to keep them quiet.
Please do me a favor, Ms. Song.
Okay?
(Investigation of Slush Fund)
He'll be coming back to the country tomorrow.
Why don't you to accompany him to the prosecution investigation?
Seo Dong Su?
Do you not remember because it's been too long?
He used to work for Chairman Sung a little over 10 years ago.
He was the main witness when Chairman Sung got investigated...
for his slush fund.
I'm sure you'll recognize him.
- He's here. - Over there.
- Please step back. - He's coming.
Is it true that you created a slush fund?
Did you really manipulate the stock prices?
- How do you feel now? - Please say a few words.
- What will the prosecution ask? - Please tell us!
- Please say a few words. - Is it really true?
Did you create the slush fund?
- Is it true? - Please tell us.
(New Recruit Resumes)
(Personnel File, Seo Jae In)
Seo Dong Su is Seo Jae In's father?
Are you Mr. Seo Dong Su?
I'm Min Ju Kyung from B and G. I came to pick you up.
(Lawyer Min Ju Kyung, B and G Law Firm)
It's nice to meet you. I'm Seo Dong Su.
- Is this it? - Yes.
That was the only thing inside the locker that woman told us about.
Hello! I'm Lawyer Seo Jae In, who's free as of today.
- Is that from Ms. Yoon? - No, it's not.
Come on. Don't be like this.
I have the right to review this.
You're arrogant talking about your rights these days.
- Yes, I'm not your slave anymore. - Who said I would hire you?
I gave her an offer.
You did? Why?
I'm quite busy these days,
so it's hard for me to prepare for all the trials like I used to.
First, let's negotiate and decide on my salary.
Can you find someone else?
No, I can't. You two have worked together well for a while now,
so an adjustment period won't be necessary.
Most importantly,
it's hard to find a lawyer who's as competent as she is.
That's what Mr. Gu thinks.
Gosh, you'll rip this. Okay, I heard you.
Mr. Go, you should listen to Mr. Gu.
If things go well between him and our landlady,
he'll become our landlord.
Fine, I'll hire you even though I totally hate the idea.
The salary negotiation will be intense, but I'll accept the offer.
What? This is it?
What is this?
Yoon Do Hee, how dare you fool me?
The number you've dialed is not in service.
It's the perfect pay for a trial that lacked truth.
No way. This is wrong.
I take back what I said about letting you out of your contract.
Don't be ridiculous. I'm free as of today.
No! This means I'll be suffering immense losses. No way!
Not a chance!
(Legal High)
- I think it was Ms. Seo. - I see.
(Those at Go Tae Rim Law Firm always have so much fun.)
Good job.
I'm flattered.
- This is yours. - Is it?
So mine was never here?
Hold on, what's happening?
We should...
Let's try again.
Because you keep... Your...
Go back in.
What just happened?
(Legal High will be back next week!)
Who did this?
Who on earth did this?
(I'm the most despicable scumbag in the world.)
What's wrong with this?
Who did this? Who's this jerk?
Did you do this?
It was me.
