Long time no see, Mr. Go.

Are you Sung Gi Jun?

I guess you're so happy to see me. Aren't I right?

I should've visited you sooner.

I've been quite busy.

I'm glad you didn't visit.

I don't meet with anyone that visits me.

100-percent win rate, with no exceptions whatsoever.

It's very impressive.

But I hear that you're not getting any clients these days.

You said you're busy, so I'm sure you're not here just to annoy us.

- What do you want? - You're a new face.

Are you a lawyer too?

Or are you a housekeeper?

What? Look.

I'm in charge of housekeeping.

That was rude.

"Rude"? Did you call me "rude"?

I didn't know such a word existed.

I've never heard of it before.

Anyway, your employees are such oddballs, just like you.

They're quite comical.

- Cut to the chase. - You know me. Give and take.

Today, I'll give first.

I'd like you to take on a case.

A case? Is that right?

Come to your senses.

I'll have to say no.

Right, you usually charge quite a bit.

- What are you doing? - My body is moving on its own.

I don't think we can take it on,

so please leave.

I can offer more money.

You really can't do it?

I won't accept it.

I don't allow rude jerks to be my clients.

You heard that, right?

Let me kindly add more explanation.

A rude person refers to someone who speaks or behaves impolitely.

It means that you're disrespectful. You got that?

It seems that a lot has changed.

I can't believe Monster Pervert said no to money.

They say people drastically change right before they die.

How brazen.

How could he come here after what he did?

Mr. Go, you must be angry.

I'm sure he is,

but it's probably for a different reason.

My money!

My money!

Why did it have to be that jerk?

Shall I just accept it now?

I mean, someone else will accept it if I don't.

At least he came to see me because he knows that I'm good.

Sure, go ahead and accept it.

Take it on. Manipulate evidence...

and get hospitalized like last time.

What do you say? Shall I run after him and get the money for you?

Look into it.

Find out what the suit is about, and whom he's going up against.

There are already articles about it.

The person who sued him...

is the former finance manager of Hankang Group, Cho Geum Se.

The other one is...

the manager of the research team at Hankang Chemicals, Lee Sang Hae.

Both of them are insisting they were wrongfully dismissed.

They were wrongfully dismissed?

Call them now and tell them I'll represent them.

You'll represent them?

When I'm wronged, I must pay it back 990 million times...

for my anger to go away.

Nullify the wrongful dismissal.

- Nullify it! - Nullify it!

We want the CEO, Sung Gi Jun, to step down!

- Sung Gi Jun must step down! - Sung Gi Jun must step down!

Nullify the wrongful dismissal.

- Gosh, those crooks. - Nullify it!

They keep saying I abused authority,

but isn't victimization a bigger problem?

They play victims in front of the camera,

and the company's image goes down the drain.

And people are boycotting our products online like total jerks.

Does it make sense to you?

It doesn't. You're absolutely right.

You see, I'm a patriot who always pays all his taxes.

We're not talking a small amount. I pay 6 to 7 figures in taxes,

and yet I even have to worry about that trifling lawsuit.

What does the government even do?

They should protect patriots like me.

Yes, of course.

Had you contacted us sooner, it wouldn't have gone to court.

We could've taken care of it quietly.

Why do you think I didn't contact you?

Why did I go to Monster Pervert first...

instead of B and G and got rejected?

Pardon me?

Monster Pervert?

What? You went to his firm?

Your pride is hurt, isn't it?

- No, not at all. - You're trying not to show it.

Those who are not competent must hold it all in.

You've never won against him.

So these are the best lawyers at your firm?

Oh, yes. I picked the ones that have a proven track record...

in labour and employment lawsuits.

Raise your hand if you've never lost.

This is why I can't trust you.

We'll form a task force to handle...

So your strategy is to outnumber them?

Then why is it that you've never beaten them?

- Mr. Bang. - Yes, Mr. Sung.

You must know what will happen if I pull our support from B and G.

Of course. I'm well aware of the fact...

that the strong fellowship between Hankang and B and G...

is what's keeping the firm afloat.

"Fellowship"?

"Strong"?

You're wrong. Simply put.

You'll have to pack up right away if I tell you to leave the firm.

- Sir. - What?

Am I wrong?

Give and take.

I gave you my full support.

Bringing me idiots like them...

is not what the taker does.

Right, Mr. Bang?

I apologize.

Do you know why I went to Monster Pervert?

It's not about this lawsuit.

I could get my company lawyers to pay the fools off.

But...

Can you two lawyers please leave?

Something else is involved.

It has to be kept quiet.

I see.

I'll pick my lawyer.

An offer?

Yes. It was stupid of me to believe it.

Cho Geum Se, you worked at Hankang Distribution.

Lee Sang Hae at Hankang Chemicals.

And you were both offered jobs at Mankang Finance?

Yes. I was pretty well-known in the finance industry.

I study and research chemical products.

Why did you leave a large company to work there?

Sung Gi Jun's the CEO of both companies.

Doesn't that make it a transfer within the same group?

The CEO's the same, but it's not a Hankang Group subsidiary.

That's why we resigned from Hankang Group...

to work there.

You went from Hankang to Mankang,

and now, you don't belong anywhere.

Mr. Go.

Yes. That's correct.

There were rumours that...

Sung Gi Jun's new company would grow exponentially.

A man called Executive Director Cheon came to me...

and offered me an incredible deal.

I visited the office...

and seeing the people hard at work convinced me.

- I'll do my best. - So I accepted the offer.

But when I came to work, it wasn't what I was promised.

I was left in an underground storage room with just one desk.

Work hard.

Without any colleagues.

They left me like that for a month.

Then they fired me...

for not doing my job...

and for failing to mingle with the others.

That's when I realized I'd been scammed.

The exact same thing happened to me.

For Hankang to fire you directly,

there would be procedural and causal problems,

so they sent you elsewhere to get rid of you easily.

That's just vicious.

And it's clearly wrongful dismissal.

How am I to make a living now?

I feel so lost.

I feel like this happened because I got too greedy.

I don't dare face my wife,

but I can't give up either.

Don't worry. We will fight alongside you.

Cheer up.

The reality may be brutal,

but justice will one day win.

And you don't have to worry about our fees.

Thank you both. Thank you.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- Thank you. - We will fight hard.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

This is great.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

That jerk.

He's defending them?

He wants to go against me?

He hasn't learned his lesson even after that beating?

We're done for if Monster Pervert finds out.

Negotiations will get tougher.

Bring Cho Geum Se to me!

I'm trying.

Don't just try. Do it.

- Do as you're told. - Yes, sir.

I'm dead if my old man finds out.

Should you be outside like this?

I'm a dying man.

Does it matter where I am?

So, he got into trouble again?

I've been hoping he'll change for over 10 years.

He'll never become a decent human being.

You and I made him like that.

I apologize.

It can't be helped.

I can't do anything after I die, but until then...

Let's be responsible.

I just called the police to give the details.

Yes, sir.

- Are you all right? - Why are you alone?

Mr. Bang just called to ask if you're okay.

And the others?

You can see one's true character when you're in need.

There's an emergency.

What? Is it Monster Pervert again?

Talk on the way.

Will you walk properly? You didn't hurt your leg.

Did you have to be admitted for a few stitches?

You're such a crybaby.

The psychological trauma. Guess whose...

fault it is.

Why were you even there?

Did you follow me, by chance?

Why would I follow you?

I met someone to discuss being on a show.

I'm sorry for what happened.

- So... - What?

I think you cried.

Who cried?

I saw when I was being patched up to the defibrillator.

You were wailing.

I was not.

Did you see it?

See what?

This.

Why would I read yours? I didn't read it.

I'll get the car.

She saw it. She read it.

Her heart broke when she saw the man she loves...

on the ground in his blood.

"Sang Koo, please don't die and leave me."

It feels great to be loved.

Let's just walk.

Why did we come here?

Shouldn't we prepare for the trial?

We are, by researching our client.

Cho Geum Se.

Cho Geum Se?

He doesn't live here. He lives in a semi-basement.

The lead just made his appearance.

Is that really him?

He's dressed completely differently.

Mr. Cho Geum Se.

These people are okay. You can step back.

Gosh, a top-notch team of bodyguards.

When our case goes to trial,

Sung Gi Jun might try to harm me.

You know him pretty well.

Do you live here?

Me? No. A friend lives here.

I'm here in hiding.

You don't know because it's your first trial,

but a lawyer is bound to maintain confidentiality.

Why don't you be a little more honest, Mr. Cho?

What exactly are you referring to?

Including an apartment here,

you own three apartments,

two imported cars, and even land in Icheon.

You're very wealthy.

What? Mr. Cho, you mean?

I'm sure you inherited all this, didn't you?

Your cabbage farmer father...

died five years ago leaving only debt.

All this, you earned yourself, Mr. Cho.

Are you a gifted stock and real estate investor then?

While you worked at Hankang Group's Finance Team,

you stole a lot.

You're going too far.

Not a lot.

My name Cho Geum Se sounds like "just a little".

Just a little.

I took only just a little.

I'm too timid to steal a lot.

Just a little? Then all this is true?

Just a little?

You forged receipts,

unit costs,

and sales costs,

and even stole A4 paper from company supplies.

That was to donate to an orphanage.

You donated seven trucks worth of A4 paper?

Seven trucks?

The orphanage director foresaw the job crisis...

and was determined to make the kids...

pass civil service exams,

or you used the paper instead of bricks to build something.

I really took only a little.

Very well. It's been a while since I met a client I like.

Of course, you must steal.

Why not when you know how to?

Don't waste your skill set.

I'm so grateful that you think so.

Which is why...

About my fee.

You said it would be pro bono.

I take it back.

How about this? We'll get you reinstated,

and I'll take 70 percent of your compensation.

70 percent?

70 percent?

I have to pay off a mortgage on one of the apartments,

and I'm still paying off on one of the cars.

How about 50 to 50?

You're really good with numbers.

70 percent.

Your job is the goose that lays golden eggs.

Okay. Let's do that.

Will you really do this?

He deserved to be fired.

I was going to do it for free to get back at Sung Gi Jun.

Why not make money in the process?

- Good luck. - Good luck.

This is not justice at all.

Maybe for Mr. Lee, but not for Mr. Cho.

How long will you go on about justice?

That's why you still chirp...

You're still a chick.

I want to beat Sung Gi Jun too.

But our client isn't exactly blameless.

Why did he go to such lengths to fire someone that corrupt...

when he could've done so in the open?

Because he has something on him?

That's right. If they messed with him,

their irregularities would've gotten caught as well.

That's why they did something so sly.

If they both know their weaknesses,

the bigger thief is bound to get more scared.

If we're lucky, we might even catch their slush fund and tax evasion.

I'm not sure. Is that what you think?

Since it's Hankang Group, we'll be fighting against B and G.

That means it'll either be Gi Seok or Mr. Bang.

Regardless of whom we're fighting against, it won't be an easy fight.

This time, it's going to be a totally different fight.

If they use 2,570 different tricks to attack us,

we can attack them with 5,780 different tricks.

You know that since it's pretty basic, right?

Hey, that's plagiarism. Stop copying me.

Look at you.

- Mr. Gu. Mr. Gu. - He took the day off.

What? Then what about my meal?

Who's going to do my laundry, trim the garden, and do my skincare?

Here's your meal.

You can do the rest tomorrow.

Where did he go during such an important period?

Wait. What's the date today?

It's March 15.

Are you upset that Mr. Go didn't come with me?

He's probably thinking about you right now.

There's not a single moment he doesn't think about you.

You're pretty, and you have a nice personality.

So I'm sure you already made a lot of friends up there.

Right?

I want you to have fun there.

You shouldn't come here and snoop around so often.

Sir, they're here.

I think drank too much last night.

Long time no see, Ms. Min.

Yes.

Gosh, you're making it so obvious that you're not pleased to see me.

I'm no longer an assailant.

Yes, of course.

You must all feel offended.

It's as if I'm picking a slave.

You all got good grades in school,

passed the bar exam, and are all very competent.

And you're standing here in front of a guy who used to be...

a delinquent back in school.

The world is so unfair, isn't it?

Gosh, no.

Are you wearing perfume?

I like the smell.

My gosh.

You guys all look so boring.

Starting from here...

to here. You're all out.

Why do I feel so sick? Did the mix cheap liquor in my drink?

Wait here.

I can't believe I have a scar on my body.

Gosh, it hurts so much.

Wait.

Is it actually my scar or do I just need to go to the bathroom?

I'm getting confused.

I should check.

- You can go inside a little later. - Why?

There's a VIP client inside. Please be understanding.

Do you think this is the Joseon Dynasty?

Who is it? The president? The prime minister?

Everyone's a VIP these days.

I'm also a VIP here, okay?

Gosh, what is your problem?

What did you just say?

Were you talking to me?

You should be apologizing...

if you bumped into someone older than you, you punk.

Was that a smirk? My gosh.

Are you serious right now?

- That's enough. - Did you just push me?

Did you just push a patient?

I'm going to sue you. I'm an attorney, you know.

I'm Yoon Sang Koo, the best attorney of B and G.

So you're Yoon Sang Koo.

Why is he smirking again? He smirked twice.

And you stopped me twice.

Come here. I'm going to sue both of you.

Come over here.

If only I didn't have to go to the bathroom...

He must be Kang Gi Seok.

The guy who got totally crushed by Monster Pervert last time.

I want him to stay.

Do you know why you lost, Mr. Kang?

Oh, right. You used to work with Monster Pervert, didn't you?

Now, I get why you lost.

You probably got all loyal and felt sorry.

I don't care about stuff like that.

Don't cut me off.

It's a given that you shouldn't get carried away...

due to your petty emotions.

But if you want to win, you need to have something else.

Can you tell us what that is?

He can't be just merciless. He needs to have the urge...

to actually crush him.

He needs to have the urge to kill him.

I see.

- Can you be that determined? - What's your point?

How are you going to fight against Monster Pervert...

with such a weak mind?

Gosh.

Is there an attorney named Yoon Sang Koo here?

What's he going to compliment me with this time?

The fact that I saved Ms. Min?

Well, I did sacrifice myself for her.

But I only just got promoted. Is he going to promote me again?

How much better are things going to get for me?

We meet again, Mr. Yoon Sang Koo.

I'm sorry for not recognizing you, sir.

I'm the one who's sorry for not being polite when I'm younger.

Please forgive me.

I've always respected you deep down in my heart.

A handsome CEO...

who's leading Hankang Group with innovation...

That's enough.

How can you not even know the face of the person you respect?

The thing is, I have face blindness.

I'm usually good at recognizing people,

but when things get bad, I can't recognize anyone.

He's funny.

- I'll choose him. - Pardon?

- Pardon? - What?

- For what? - What?

Get up, Mr. Yoon.

Okay, sir.

Even the strongest opponent will end up losing one day.

Yes, sir. Yes, you're right.

And normally, they lose to the most unexpected.

- Can you do well? - Pardon?

Yes, sir.

Then I'll trust that you'll do well.

Yes, sir. I'll do my best, sir.

Goodbye, sir.

I want Kang Gi Seok to help you with the case.

What?

Monster Pervert.

Why is that jerk...

constantly bugging me and getting in my way?

Why?

Why?

Are you sure they'll do a good job?

It'll be fun.

You need to provoke people...

in order to get them moving.

But if you want to win, you need to have something else.

He can't be just merciless. He needs to have the urge...

to actually crush him.

He needs to have the urge to kill him.

Congratulations. Here's my gift.

Did you really have to trample on my pride like that?

I'd rather have you beat me fair and square in front of everyone.

Don't do this after everything's over.

It's making you look bad.

What am I going to do?

The fundamental reason behind their unfair dismissal.

There's a legitimate reason for Cho Geum Se's dismissal,

but we're still trying to find the reason for Lee Sang Hae.

- So? - First, we can scare them...

by making them think that we're going to disclose everything...

that Cho Geum Se knows about Hankang Group's...

slush fund and tax evasion during the trial.

That's the strategy we can go with at this point.

Who says it's a strategy? Who says we're going to do that?

According to this, you also thought of the same thing.

Mr. Gu, you can't just take stuff without telling me.

The guy who holds an important key to all this...

is Executive Director Cheon of Mankang Finance.

And what's crucial is whether we can make him side with us or not.

Our opponent already knows that much.

Executive Director Cheon...

won't ever go behind our back, so he's irrelevant.

And this guy has no evidence to prove anything.

There are lots of witnesses...

that Monster Pervert managed to conciliate.

That's why I plan to get his promise in writing.

Two other employees were let go after being transferred...

to Mankang just like Cho Geum Se and Lee Sang Hae were.

Oh, you're right. I'm going to look into that.

I must say, you're so helpful.

I'm going to persuade them to get on our side.

"Persuade them."

Sure, that will sort things out.

Let me know if there's anything else you need. I'm off.

All right, I will. Get back to work.

All right, take it easy.

Wait, hold on.

Do you think I'll be okay?

I won't get fired even if I lose this time, right?

Don't worry too much about the results yet.

Just be yourself and push forward.

You can do it.

Be myself?

Nothing has worked when I was trying to do things my way.

I should ditch myself.

I'm going to make a bold decision of ditching this man, Yoon Sang Koo.

I'll be reborn as a new man.

Titles such as director and manager...

come with an implied promise that an office space...

that befits the title and enough staff members will be provided.

However, Mr. Cho had to work...

in a basement storage unit that reeked of mouse faeces,

and Mr. Lee had to work in a room filled with janitorial supplies.

They were placed in such environments all alone.

And of course, they never received the pay that was promised to them.

Ergo, we request that Mankang Finance...

nullify its decision to terminate both employees' employment...

and pay all the overdue wages from before and after their dismissal.

And coincidentally, the CEO of my clients' employers,

Hankang Distribution and Hankang Chemicals,

as well as Mankang Finance, where they were laid off,

happens to be the same person.

It's Mr. Sung Gi Jun, who's sitting over there.

Isn't it such a brilliant coincidence?

Let's say this ball is Mr. Cho or Mr. Lee.

It irked him for some reason, so he wanted to throw it out.

But he couldn't find a legitimate reason to throw it out.

And if he had chucked it carelessly,

he would've had to deal with other employees' complaints.

That's why he passed the ball over to Mankang Finance.

That's how they were fired.

Whoever it is, he pulled an impressively underhanded trick.

It's clear that the three companies, where Mr. Sung is the CEO,

Hankang Distribution, Hankang Chemicals,

and Mankang Finance colluded to commit this unlawful act.

Hence, we request 500,000 dollars per person.

A million dollars as compensation in total. That'd be all.

What on earth is he doing here?

- What? - What?

- What the... - What the...

You two could totally pass for twins.

I bet you're flustered now.

You'll feel as if you're fighting against yourself, not against me.

The plaintiffs' arguments are nothing but groundless allegations.

Mankang Finance recruited them with high expectations.

However, they didn't deliver any results.

On top of that, they didn't even get along with their co-workers.

Because of them, the office moral...

plummeted all the way to rock bottom.

The employees that have conversed with Mr. Cho...

are suffering from anxiety, stress, and depression.

Also, every employee who has made eye contact with Mr. Lee...

developed germophobia, and rashes from feeling disgusted,

and they're receiving psychiatric treatment at the moment.

These crucial reasons provided grounds for their dismissal.

Also, their contracts clearly state that the company...

can terminate their employment if they don't deliver results.

That'd be all.

Plaintiff's counsel.

Mankang Finance recruited you when you were at Hankang Chemicals.

That's correct. I went from a manager to a senior manager.

How did they treat you?

They put up a sign with my title in front of a supply storage room.

They put my desk...

in the midst of toilet papers, mops, detergents, and printing paper.

You were a senior manager. Did you manage anyone?

No, nobody.

And no one talked to me at work.

The company is saying you didn't deliver any results.

At first, they said they needed me to advise them on chemical products,

but when I started,

I was told to develop...

a new material that is ingenious enough to win the Nobel Prize.

Is it really possible to conduct such research...

just using toilet papers, printing paper, and floor cleaners?

It was clearly an evil system Hankang Group and Mankang Finance...

devised together to wrongfully dismiss employees,

nothing more or less.

And Mr. Cho and Mr. Lee are the victims of that system.

That'd be all.

Mr. Lee.

It must've been so frustrating to be stuck in the storage room.

Pardon me?

Do you know Mr. Jang Tae Kyung on the financial advisory team?

I'm not sure. The name does ring a bell.

What about Ms. Kim Eun Hee on the business support team?

I'm not sure.

Ms. Jang Eun Young in Procurement and Ms. Cho Yi Eun in Accounting.

I don't remember them.

I have their statements here.

"On July 8, 2018,"

"I went to the supply storage to get toilet paper..."

"and saw Mr. Lee, who was napping with his face down on his desk."

"The moment I reached out for a roll of toilet paper,"

"I felt like someone was looking at me, so I turned around."

"And I saw Mr. Lee Sang Hae..."

"looking under my skirt with those creepy eyes."

No, that is not true. I've never done such a thing.

Ms. Kim Eun Hee also wrote that she was extremely offended...

when Mr. Lee asked her out on a date on her way home.

No, I just wanted to ask her for advice because I was so frustrated.

All these statements clearly illustrate how Mr. Lee...

sexually harassed female employees at Mankang Finance.

In one of the statements, the witness wrote that she saw him...

trying to peep into her office with an astronomical telescope.

Mr. Lee is weird.

Very weird.

I rest my case.

That argument can't be proven.

You still have things to say?

The company simply let Mr. Lee go to make sure...

that things don't get out of hand.

In other words, he should thank the company.

"Wrongful dismissal"? "An evil system"? Not at all.

The company let him go for his own sake.

The company didn't have any other intentions.

Mr. Lee, do you understand?

I rest my case.

Didn't you say you don't believe in things like loyalty and justice?

Will you be called Monster Pervert's mentee forever?

- Good work. - I'm flattered.

What do you say? Are you ready to fight now?

Oh, you may leave.

You've just been fired as my legal representative.

Sorry? Why?

I've been... What?

All right.

You'll receive your compensation soon.

I never forget to pay people for their work.

"Compensation"? Okay.

So what do you say? Are you ready to take down Monster Pervert?

I have a condition though.

Do you know why I like lawyers?

Because of the duty of confidentiality.

Regardless of what I say, they know they can't leak it.

You've got it wrong.

Saying something untrue...

or against society's...

Is there a lawyer like that in this country?

In this system, there can't be lawyers who are willing to expose...

their clients' secrets for the sake of justice.

Why?

Who'd want to be represented by such lawyers?

That being said, I embezzled some money.

From a bunch of our subsidiaries.

What's the total?

It's about 12.3 million dollars in total.

That's what he says.

The problem is that Cho Geum Se found out...

and took the second set of ledgers.

He called me after I'd fired him.

That he has them.

So don't mention that he embezzled anything.

It'll hurt me too.

My condition is...

their reinstatement.

Why should I take them back?

Cho Geum Se knows a huge secret.

It might be best to keep him close.

And Lee Sang Hae.

It's something really minor.

I really don't like those two.

What did he say?

Can you do it? Can you win?

I don't know. I have to try.

You know how important this client is to us, don't you?

Yes. Sort of.

If you need assistance, we'll help as a team.

No, I don't need anything.

It's not that huge of a trial.
No, I don't need anything.

It's not that huge of a trial.

I trust you with this.

Do me proud.

Are you sure about this?

You're taking it on yourself.

Are you doing it unwillingly?

No.

I want to beat Tae Rim when he's more desperate.

You know what Sung Gi Jun is like.

I don't care.

Tae Rim wouldn't have minded either.

Like he said,

I lacked the will or determination to beat Tae Rim.

I'll change now.

I'll fight in earnest.

Hello? Let's deal with the trash first.

They're all subordinates who fear their superiors.

Cho Geum Se and Lee Sang Hae.

They're incompetent, rude, smell,

committed sexual assault, embezzlement,

was late, and others.

We have numerous witnesses for every account.

Employees are forced to make false accusations.

I feel sorry for them.

How dare a slave pity others?

I wouldn't do such a thing even if you told me to.

Will we find anything related here?

It's not a corner store.

If they sent two people to Mankang,

we'll find something.

Why are there so many pieces?

We've been at this for five hours.

I have a feeling we might have to stay up all night.

What is this?

Do you have something?

I do, but...

Mr. Go Tae Rim, kudos on your efforts.

Kang Gi Seok.

Kang Gi Seok.

A lot of people are rooting for Lee Sang Hae.

I checked Hankang Chemicals' website.

Stuff like that is of no use at the trial.

Let me see.

They wrote anonymously, so they're quite honest.

He was fired for this?

Why are you so tense when you have nothing?

Today, you just play the sandbag.

No. I can't do that.

Before you hired Cho Geum Se,

did you receive any instructions...

from your CEO Sung Gi Jun?

No.

That's all.

Plaintiff. Will you cross-examine?

No.

Would you offer a new job to someone to fire him?

Why go to such lengths?

Why not send them somewhere remote...

or to a team with a much heavier workload?

If this was a wrongful dismissal as the plaintiff insists,

they must submit evidence that will convince everyone.

Plaintiff. If you were to sue my client first...

and get the public's attention,

the defendant would suffer much more damage.

Did you expect that...

they would ask to settle out of court then?

Lee Sang Hae's colleagues from Hankang Chemicals...

left anonymous comments on the company website.

They're all full of praise.

There was not a single mention...

of sexual harassment that the plaintiff brought up.

When anyone did something that could've been misunderstood,

Mr. Lee, the ever-gentle superior, diffused the situation.

Reputation and capabilities are separate issues.

That's right. Which is why I couldn't understand.

Why would you want to fire someone like him?

This was taken when Mr. Lee got the excellent employee award.

He has irritable bowel syndrome,

and at this crucial moment,

he farted.

Silence.

Plaintiff. What is your point?

Is this a reason for dismissal?

Perhaps someone thought this small mistake...

was a deliberate act of mockery and...

wanted to get revenge.

For your information, at a party Sung Gi Jun attended,

a hotel waitress brought the wrong champagne...

and was fired on the spot.

- Objection. - Sustained.

Plaintiff, don't make any speculations.

I apologize.

"There's no justice in society."

"The winner is justice."

I too once believed that.

Unless we can provide crucial evidence,

our clients will be forever wronged.

But I'm positive that...

we all love justice...

and want it to be upheld.

A trial isn't a game about winning or losing...

or a gamble in which you make a profit.

This place...

doesn't exist for people to hurt each other.

Isn't it a place where we all strive to find justice, truth,

and a way to happiness that just might be somewhere?

A society in which those who do good are compensated.

That place might only exist in dreams.

Reality is brutal.

But people live to dream.

I still believe that ideals can beat reality.

That's all.

Do you think sentimentalism will work in court?

What, dream?

Ideals can do what to reality?

And then what? Farts?

My research on the judge.

The judge?

His father was fired when he was in middle school.

This is an article he wrote for his university paper.

"Dream of a society in which ideals beat reality."

Many years have passed,

but I'm sure he still has the same belief.

I heard that Lawyer Seo was impressive in court.

Not at all impressive.

She learned some weird tricks.

You don't think they were just tricks, do you?

She researched the judge,

but her defense today must represent...

how she feels.

That's very likely for Chirp Chirp.

She's so naive.

She talked about justice and ideals.

A settlement?

Yes. Their reinstatement is our condition.

No.

We won't settle.

I know you have something against Mr. Sung.

Regardless, I won't settle.

Why not? Isn't this a good thing?

You don't have a way to get a ruling in your favour.

Whether we do or not is none of your business.

You can leave.

You haven't changed.

Is it still all about winning?

You don't care for a mutually beneficial result.

You still haven't grown up.

That mutually beneficial nonsense.

What's wrong with that?

Why can't we all be happy?

The world is where we strive to...

step on others to get higher.

Someone's happiness comes at the price of one's sadness.

If those two are reinstated,

will it be mutually beneficial?

Don't you think they'd be...

sent far away or fired for something else?

The win-win you're talking about...

is just an excuse you're making so you can win.

Wake up, Kang Gi Seok.

You're not a lawyer or anything.

You're just a scammer who's saying the right thing!

Hello, Mr. Kang.

Hi, Mr. Gu.

Did something happen?

No, nothing happened.

Bye, then.

I'm suddenly reminded...

of what you said to me when you left this place.

You said you wanted to become a different attorney than Mr. Go.

Did I say that?

Instead of fighting in court just to win a case,

you said you wanted to see the plaintiff and the defendant...

hold hands and reconcile with each other one day.

I see.

But what should I do?

I think I somehow got lost while trying to achieve that goal.

It's normal to get lost and fall...

on your way to achieve something.

But that doesn't mean the road will change.

Have a safe trip back.

Bye, Mr. Gu.

By any chance, did you not settle because you didn't get any money?

Didn't you hear what I said earlier?

Do you think they'll be able to have a normal office life if they settle?

That's why you're always talking about dreams and stuff in court.

The bright and transparent world you always talk about...

only exists in fairy tales.

There are so many people in this world...

who only care about their own well-being. Okay?

Yes, I can see that. There's one standing right in front of me.

Yoo Ra also wouldn't want you to be like this, Mr. Go.

That doesn't matter.

You jerk.

What's wrong? Do you think I won't be able to do it?

It won't take long to disclose what you did.

I just need to send a USB to the press.

Wait.

Okay.

How much do you want?

You were right. Cho Geum Se is already on the move.

Yes, I'm following him right now.

The trial was just a bait?

They caused a ruckus to increase the settlement money.

All Cho Geum Se wants is to sell...

the slush fund ledger at an expensive price.

Then what about Lee Sang Hae?

He's just an extra.

Where is he?

Mr. Go.

Hey. Let's go.

Sung Gi Jun and his secretary went inside a while ago.

- What about the guards? - I'm guessing they're inside.

I guess you became a lot bolder than you were in the past.

It's nothing compared to what you did.

Where's the ledger?

I want my money first. Money.

I took care of them, sir.

Do you understand what's going on now?

He was once on the national team.

Don't you dare touch me.

If you do, I'll just go ahead and send the ledger to the press.

Well, I'm sorry to tell you that I'm all about give and take.

Why are you putting gloves on?

Don't come near me. Just talk right there.

How much more do you need to learn?

What is it? What?

- What should we do? - Call the cops.

Hello? Is this the police? Someone's getting beaten up right now.

What are you going to do?

I can't just leave him there. Let me go.

I think we need to go, sir.

What about him?

We have no time. You need to escape.

Hurry.

Mr. Cho, are you okay? Mr. Cho.

What?

Gosh, you're quite the trickster.

If those two are reinstated, will it be mutually beneficial?

Don't you think they'd be...

sent far away or fired for something else?

The win-win you're talking about...

is just an excuse you're making so you can win.

Wake up, Kang Gi Seok.

You're not a lawyer or anything.

You're just a scammer who's saying the right thing!

You said you wanted to become a different attorney than Mr. Go.

Did I say that?

Instead of fighting in court just to win a case,

you said you wanted to see the plaintiff and the defendant...

hold hands and reconcile with each other one day.

Yes, this is Kang Gi Seok.

Okay, sure.

I'll have to choose a side...

if I want to fight against Tae Rim.

Mr. Sung Gi Jun?

Someone reported you saying you committed assault.

You'll have to come with us.

That jerk.

What are you going to do?

No one will be able to bail you out this time...

because we got you on camera.

In high-definition.

What?

- It's you again? - You're all about give and take.

But I pay back by giving something that's a 990 million times worse.

Don't worry. This is just the beginning.

Let's go.

What about the trial? What about Lee Sang Hae?

I'm not sure. He'll have to face a criminal trial first.

You can just sue the company again.

For what? For hitting him?

You can do that on your own.

Okay, fine. I'll do it no matter what.

I made up my mind after the recent humiliation.

It's time to get rid of the "G" from "B and G".

The partner attorneys aren't going to be happy with that.

They won't think that way after seeing how Sung Gi Jun acted up.

They won't want to continue...

tiptoeing around Hankang Group after how much he humiliated them.

Tell Kang Gi Seok to take his hands off Sung Gi Jun's case.

And tell him that he doesn't need to go to the police station.

I tried calling him, but he won't answer.

The moment an article gets published saying Sung Gi Jun got arrested,

gather everyone for a meeting.

Let's try to get rid of "G" from "B and G" this time.

He tapped his forehead like this and told me that he won't forget.

Does that mean he's going to reward me for doing a good job?

Or is he going to take revenge for the head-butting incident?

Gosh, whatever. What does it matter?

I knew he'd get in trouble when I saw how rude he was.

I hope he rots in jail.

Ms. Min.

Ms. Min, wait.

What do you want?

Do you have time tonight?

- Why? - Well, I just thought...

maybe we could have dinner together.

Time?

I don't have any time for you.

Gosh, I'm embarrassed too.

Everyone's embarrassed at first.

Who knew I'd see you crying right at that moment?

No. I told you that you got the wrong idea.

She's being cute.

"No. I told you that you got the wrong idea."

A strong denial equals a strong affirmation.

I'm so forgetful. The birthday gift!

Gosh!

Why did I tear up right at that moment?

Yes, I thought he was dead.

That was the reason.

But what if that idiot keeps bringing it up?

Come in.

This is a list of our clients whose birthdays are in this month.

Let me know what to get for gifts and what to write in their cards.

Okay, sure. Thank you.

He and I have the same birthday.

I strictly keep all my promises...

Maybe not strictly.

Anyway, I'm a man of my word.

Have a great day and smell fabulous.

Do you have room diffusers with scents from birth month flowers?

Yes, we have one for each month.

- I'd like one for March. - Sure.

I'll give you this, hoping that you'll get out of my life.

Stop bothering me.

- Oh, Ms. Min. - Hello.

Hello.

- How have you been? - Good.

What's this?

Gosh.

How could you deride my sincere gesture?

What are you talking about? That's what you did.

You put this back on my desk.

You bought this? For me?

What? Did you also...

Are we destined to be together?

Stop spewing total nonsense!

We have the same birthday, and we got each other the same gift.

This must be fate. We're destined to be together.

Mr. Kang, good work.

Did you get everything from them?

I checked all the accounting records and the video of the assault.

That jerk, Cho Geum Se. I'll teach him a lesson.

No, no!

It's Mr. Chairman's order.

I can't go. I won't go! Let go!

Please.

Please forgive me.

You talk about it all the time. Give and take.

A man must follow the rules he set out for himself.

Get down on all fours.

Dad.

My employees are watching.

He's been released?

What? Lack of evidence?

Sung Gi Jun got out?

- We have a copy of the flash drive. - Oh, yes.

Someone must've swapped it with an empty one.

Who? Who'd do such a thing?

Hello?

It's Mr. Cho Geum Se.

Hello, Mr. Cho. Where are you now?

What? The airport?

Why are you going there?

I'm really sorry.

I was sick of collecting small kickbacks here and there,

so I decided to give in and collect a large sum in return...

for all the accounting records as well as the video.

I owe it all to you, Mr. Go.

Also, I can't say it can completely replace your fees,

but I sent some documents I had back when I was at Hankang.

Please review them thoroughly.

And stay healthy.

While Sung Gi Jun was detained,

someone must've cut a deal with Cho Geum Se.

Could it have been Mr. Kang?

Who else would do such a thing?

Gosh, then I guess we won't even get paid.

That won't happen.

I've already put in safety measures.

"In cases of unilateral termination of the contract or settlement,"

"the client shall transfer the ownership of his apartment..."

"in Gimpo to the firm..."

What a trickster.

Too bad. I lost my apartment.

Hello, Mr. Lee.

Gosh, you don't need to thank me.

Think of it as your severance pay.

I wish you happiness.

Here.

What's the occasion this time?

Today is the 100th day since we first met.

Only couples celebrate days like that.

Really? I'm sorry.

But please accept it since I got it for you.

I'll be off, then.

Seol Hee.

Did something good happen today?

I have a date today.

- With whom? - Take a guess.

Do you have a nice cake?

I'll find out. Just a moment, please.

- I'll need a card too. - Okay.

This was a good purchase.

Gosh, don't regret.

Hello? Yes.

My car?

What's going on?

Who are you guys?

Let go! What's happening?

Let go! Help!

Hold on. You'd like us to move out immediately?

The lease isn't up yet. Am I wrong?

Goodness, I'm speechless.

You see this, right?

On the contract,

he included this clause in such a tiny font...

that can only be read with a microscope.

"The landlord shall not increase the rent..."

"against the tenant's wishes..."

"or force the tenant to move out."

"If the tenant wishes to purchase the property,"

"the landlord must agree."

Does this make sense to you?

Was there such a thing?

Didn't you say you're a lawyer?

How could you scam people like this?

You inserted this special clause into the contract...

to take advantage of the fact that my mom has bad eyesight.

He's certainly in the wrong.

You shouldn't have done that.

Anyway, I'll sue you if you try to stay...

using this contract as an excuse,

so move out immediately.

I do not want to let crooks like you...

stay in my property even for another moment.

Did you say you'll sue us?

I guess you don't know who I am.

Can we draft up a legitimate agreement together and sign it?

No, I'm thinking of turning this space into an Italian restaurant.

A restaurant?

I lived abroad for many years.

I'd like to live here with my mother from now on.

I'll give you a month.

You'd better vacate my property until then.

We're sorry. We're sorry, ma'am!

How could you do such a thing?

What? A special clause?

I applied many insurance companies' business know-how, that's all.

What's wrong with it?

I should start looking for an office space immediately.

Where on earth did Mr. Gu go?

Drink up.

The scent of coffee will console your heart.

Hello.

Are you here to see Mr. Go?

Don't you remember me?

I'm not sure.

Did we meet somewhere?

We met 10 years ago in Italy.

Aren't you Gregory who used to work as a barista...

at a café named Greco in Rome?

It's me.

I did once stay in Rome for a while.

But it was too long ago.

It's me, Audrey.

Where am I?

Help!

Is anyone there?

Gosh, it's so bright.

Where am I?

Is this what he was talking about?

Is this what Sung Gi Jun meant when he said...

he won't forget to return the favour?

Where am I? Is anyone there?

Isn't there anyone living in the wild or something?

Is anyone there?

I told you to leave them.

We're going to move.

We should start packing.

Plus, it's not like we have any work to do anyway.

Hello. Who are you?

What's your name?

Yoo Ra.

No way. She died...

three years ago?

Do you remember the incident...

regarding the leak of toxic substances in the Han River?

Do you know an attorney named Go Tae Rim?

Let's go. Come on.

He's a little crazy, right?

- Please... - What is wrong with you?

I hereby sentence the defendant to death.

What? Yoon Do Hee?

Yoon Do Hee, the evil witch?

Did you murder Lee Joon Hee?

You're obviously the criminal.

I really didn't commit murder.

I want 1,500,000 dollars.

If you hear me out, you'll even want to defend me for free.

What is it? I have a right to know.

If you win this case,

- I'll free you from your debt. - Really?

Just focus only on winning.

Okay?

Mr. Gu, please.

No.

If you go on a date with her, we won't have to move out.

So can you please go on a date just this once?

Giving the other person false hope is also a sin.

I can never do such a thing.

Come on. Try to convince him.

I was once a masseuse in Thailand.

Right.

- Come on, Mr. Gu. - Please, Mr. Gu.

- Just this once. - Just this once.
