If you really are the culprit,

do you have evidence to support your statement?

At the crime scene, there was probably traces of water...

on the victim and on the floor.

Let's take a look at the photos of the crime scene.

Where is the water?

(Witness)

What is that?

Did you know that?

I just thought a bowl of water in her room spilled.

Witness, why and how...

do you remember the spilled water?

I had no intention to kill her.

We were tying her up in the dark and accidentally blocked her nose.

I see. Well...

What next?

We panicked to see that she wasn't breathing,

so Won Bok and I tried to make her drink some water.

Water!

Ma'am! Please wake up!

Ma'am!

Please wake up, ma'am.

We tried our best to save her,

but it was too late.

Prosecutors.

Counsel.

Do you have anything to add?

Witness, can't it be also said that the water was always there,

and the bowl just spilled over?

I got cold water from the kitchen,

and I spilled it myself.

How can you be sure of that?

When you kill someone,

you can't forget it easily.

Witness.

How does it feel to have told the truth?

To be honest, I'm scared and nervous.

Do you have any last words you'd like to say?

I'd like to sincerely apologize to the lady who passed away,

her family, and those who took the blame instead of me.

I can't turn back what I did, so I won't ask for forgiveness.

But I will...

take the punishment now, even if it's late.

Let's take a break,

hold the defendant questioning, then close the trial.

The witness confessed, saying he'll take his punishment?

It was completely unexpected and beyond my control.

Between Kang Sang Hyun's and Lee Cheol Gyu's confessions,

which one sounds more believable and in line with the case?

The presiding judge has the sole authority over which confession...

is admitted into evidence and relied upon.

You understand what I mean, don't you?

You may head out now.

(Chief Judge Yoon So Yun)

Yes.

Young judges these days are so unexpected.

Please keep a good eye on them.

Also,

I believe that to reform the court administration,

I'd like to recommend a female judge...

as Supreme Court Justice.

Thank you.

I made myself clear to Judge Heo Jae Young.

We didn't kill the old lady.

Hey, you. You can't do this now.

I'm only getting 300 dollars to do this.

Defendant Lim Soo Chul, you ran away as soon as you saw...

Oh Jae Soo and Jung Hae Yul in February 2013, right?

Yes, but...

Please only answer yes or no.

Yes, sir.

Defendant Choi Jae Pil, in February of 2013,

you wrote a confession...

at the Samjung Police Station admitting the crime.

Correct?

Yes.

Defendant Kang Sang Hyun.

You heard the recording of your confession.

You made that statement in January of 2014...

in Jang Yoon Suk's office.

Correct?

Yes. It was written...

Answer yes or no!

Mr. Kang.

Did you go to Dawoo Supermarket?

No, I did not.

I never even met the old lady.

Let me ask you something.

Then why did you not deny the crime...

during your trial in 2014?

Your Honor.

You know better than anyone...

why Mr. Kang and his friends couldn't tell the truth back then.

The defendants accept all the charges set forth...

in the indictment that they caused the victim's death...

while robbing Dawoo Supermarket.

They deeply regret it. If you'd show mercy,

they will do their best as upright citizens going forward.

During a trial,

everyone begins by saying, "Your Honor."

However,

I am having a difficult time saying "honor".

That is my honest truth.

Defendant Kang Sang Hyun.

When he was seven, his mother drank a pesticide...

and died.

Immediately before she died, she held him tightly.

Sang Hyun. It's okay.

Sleep with Mommy.

He remembers that night as the warmest in his life.

Defendant Choi Jae Pil.

His mother was paraplegic,

and his father had a high-level spinal disability.

With a development disability himself,

he worked as a day laborer...

and took care of his disabled parents.

When he asked to be sent home...

to take care of his parents,

the prosecutor wrote this in the case file.

I have to go home.

My mom and dad are both ill.

"He seems mentally disabled. He keeps babbling."

Both of his parents passed away within a year of his incarceration.

Defendant Lim Soo Chul.

He had a history of sleeping out on the streets.

He took his younger sisters...

and fled under a bridge to escape their father's violent abuse.

Get away from here!

They ate watermelon to fill their stomachs.

He wanted to eat something other than a watermelon,

so he stole money from a truck... and ended up being framed.

Your Honor.

Developmentally disabled minors...

who resided in the town in which the victim was killed...

were framed for her murder.

That is the truth of the case.

The police, prosecutors, and the judge.

Everyone shunned the truth.

Was it an unavoidable mistake?

Or because they disrespected them as being beneath them?

Your Honor.

Prosecutors.

It isn't that difficult...

to soften a hardened heart...

and open a closed heart.

Saying you're sorry...

That's all it'll take.

However, during this trial in this courthouse,

not a single cop, prosecutor, or judge responsible for this...

said a single word of apology.

Only the real culprit Lee Cheol Gyu...

said he was sorry.

Is it that difficult...

to say you're sorry?

Bearing this sadness in my heart, I rest my case.

Please console the defendants by finding them...

not guilty.

I rest my case.

His closing argument is simple and yet a work of art.

That's why I hang out with him.

I'm picky with people.

We will render our decision.

There are two confessions to the crime...

in this case.

I find Lee Cheol Gyu's confession unreliable.

I differ. I think his testimony is more consistent...

with the facts.

I agree.

Whereas Kang Sang Hyun's confession is in a recording,

I suspect whether it was made voluntarily.

The three defendants are innocent.

The presiding judge has the sole authority over which confession...

is admitted into evidence and relied upon.

You understand what I mean, don't you?

Defendants...

Lim Soo Chul,

Kang Sang Hyun,

and Choi Jae Pil are found...

not guilty.

The court gives our apologies to the defendants who were framed...

and suffered for many years as a result thereof.

Park Tae Yong! You rock!

A warrior for the underdogs! A master of reversals!

- Please take me! - Sit down.

What?

Yoon Suk.

Shouldn't you apologize to me as well?

Ms. Hwang Min Kyung. Are you feeling ill?

You degraded the honor of Prosecution Services.

Aren't you apologetic to all the prosecutors?

Hey, you. All prosecutors are the same.

We are all one. Don't you know that?

People really don't change.

Things will be tough for a while.

Take care.

Crybaby. You've gotten brave.

You'll rot in jail for about five years.

Sir.

I'm not doing this because I'm brave.

I'm doing this because I know shame.

Cheol Gyu. What do you mean, shame?

That's a foreign word for prosecutors.

They wouldn't do these things if they knew the word.

Sam Soo. Why you...

- Please tell us how you feel. - How do you feel?

- Please excuse us. - Please tell us.

I'm outnumbered today, so I'll go.

I'll see you all later.

This is a momentous occasion.

- How do you feel? - How do you feel right now?

Mr. Park! Tell us how you feel!

Sorry, I'll make a statement later.

A decision by a candidate for Chief Justice...

of the Supreme Court was overturned.

Yes, I'll discuss that later too.

How does the trio feel?

Please give us a statement!

Mr. Lee Cheol Gyu, will you go to the police station now?

Please give us a statement!

Mr. Park! Take Yoo Kyung with you.

Please tell us how you feel.

- What are your plans? - A statement, please!

It's been a while since we've been in the same car.

It has.

Where are we going?

We're going to the Dawoo victim's grave.

Lee Cheol Gyu apologized to Choi Young Sook...

and is visiting the victim's grave.

Did you guys...

think of and plan this on top of the trial?

You guys are amazing.

I don't know whether or not it was prepared in advance.

Mr. Park said let's do it, so I'm doing it.

I see.

- Hello? - Everyone else is posting articles!

What's wrong with you?

What?

- What's going on? - It's bad enough...

the real culprit says he'll go to jail,

but he's going to apologize to the victim's family.

What a great picture.

Why that...

Thank you.

And I'm sorry.

Don't be.

I can finally go see her.

It broke my heart...

when you said your body was free, but your heart was in prison,

You need to apologize like this...

to lift the burden on your heart a little.

Do lawyers usually counsel criminals regarding their emotional state?

I know you did something wrong, but don't put yourself down so much.

Although those who fabricated the case shut their mouths,

but you had the courage to come clean.

The court overturned its initial ruling...

on the Samjung three-man murder case.

As witness Lee claimed responsibility for the crime,

Lim Soo Chul, Choi Jae Pil, and Kang Sang Hyun...

cleared their names.

They're talking about us. Why did you turn it off?

- Jae Pil. - What?

Are we going to a party now?

No.

I put the three of you through so much.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Ma'am, I'm so sorry.

[VIU Ver] SBS E11 'Delayed Justice'
"The Samjung Three-man Murder Case Verdict"
-♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Synced with Subcake Android

I'm so sorry.

I'll spend the rest of my life repenting.

I said we should solve it when a better day comes.

I guess that day has come.

My senior colleague, who brought in the wrong guys,

took the real murders away.

Keep this for as long as you can,

and use it when the world is a better place.

Mother.

Goodness, Mr. Park.

We were worried you'd disappear with the criminal.

Every police officer is born...

with the strong determination to hunt down all criminals.

The real culprit has finally been caught after seven years.

In addition, you're the one handing him over to us.

We may have gotten off on the wrong foot,

but in the end, we're having... What's that called?

- A happy ending. - Yes, a happy ending.

The Dawoo Supermarket case is finally over!

Let's see here.

You have the right to have a great lawyer like Mr. Park.

Also, you have the right to keep your mouth shut.

Got it?

Guys, why didn't you tell us you didn't do it?

Gosh. Hey!

Officers, we're at someone's grave. Will you keep it down, please?

I'd appreciate it if you could leave soon.

Okay. It's just that it took seven years. Let's go.

Let's go.

Mr. Lee.

I've gotten in trouble many times in my life,

but this is the first time I've had a lawyer on my side.

Get in.

Do you call yourselves police officers? You morons.

Who gives you the right to take me?

- I'm innocent! - Be quiet!

I'm not going. I can't!

Aren't the prosecution and the police getting punished?

What about the judges? What is this?

Are they getting a promotion or a bonus...

for catching the culprits?

Even if they did something wrong,

it's too late to punish them.

It'll be hard to prove them guilty too.

Have you ever heard about prosecutors or judges...

getting punished...

for their faulty investigations or rulings?

That kind of thing never happens.

So give up.

Now, let's get going.

Let me buy you all a drink.

My wound was healed today.

Let's go. Come on.

Ms. Lee, let's go.

Why can't you do anything right?

You failed to settle with the kids,

failed to persuade the culprits,

and even lost the trial.

I'm sorry.

Is there anything you're good at other than studying?

Have you ever been number one except in school?

Answer me!

I can't remember.

Fine, you were considered a genius in your village, so what?

I let a poor farmer's son like you marry my daughter.

Shouldn't you at least catch some rat for me in return?

- You're right. - And?

You can't even control a high school grad lawyer...

and a punk who used to clean up dog poop for me.

Don't you think that's shameless?

How can your performance be so bad?

It's been 10 years since I accepted you into my family.

Listen.

I can't stand shameless people.

Keep that in mind.

Get out.

How many cows do you have to sell to make 2.8 million dollars?

I'm sorry.

Once you become the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court,

you'll be the third most important person in the whole country.

You shouldn't be bowing...

to someone like me.

I have nothing to say.

It wasn't even a political case.

You only made a small mistake regarding a petty crime.

I apologize for causing trouble before the confirmation hearing.

Think about the old days. This is nothing.

Under military rule, judges and prosecutors...

cooperated many times.

Without our intelligence,

the military government couldn't have existed.

They relied on the hard work of people like you.

Times have changed and people are better off now,

but if we start finding fault with past trials,

how many do you think would survive in the legal world?

You're absolutely right.

You can't ask for compensation just because you went to prison unfairly!

Think of all the people who have fought for the country!

Supreme Court Justice Jo, you have a lot to do in the future.

Do put an end to this.

Yes, I will.

Attention, everyone.

Without Ms. Choi Young Sook,

we wouldn't have made it this far.

Let's give her a big hand.

Ms. Choi, please say something.

Because of the trauma,

I couldn't walk outside at night for seven years.

But I think I can now.

I hope only good things will happen to you from now on.

Ms. Lee is working so hard. How can you be eating?

Are you enjoying working alone at this hour?

Are you eating chicken or your fingers?

It's so gross that I can't focus.

The file you talked about... Was it the recording of Mr. Kang?

It was nothing. Why did you keep it from me?

Did Mr. Moon tip you off about it?

Now you're talking.

Finish up and come back to the table.

I put aside some fleshy drumsticks for you.

Look at you smile.

Hey, I'm sorry.

For the harsh things I said. I trust you.

- Why? - Just because.

You don't need a reason to trust someone.

That sounded so cool, right?

Hurry up. Your chicken will get cold.

I can't let your chicken get soggy.

I want it to be crispy.

Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, okay?

You pulled it off.

You have my admiration, Mr. Park.

I just did as you said.

I couldn't have done it without you.

When I have some free time, can I join you two?

- I'll be the one interviewing you. - Okay.

Gosh, this is crazy.

Cash is piling up.

How much?

We have 42,000 dollars now.

Also, when will the criminal compensation be paid?

Let's not rush things.

Come on. Honey...

Let's just go all the way.

Why are you taking your sweet time with this?

I've never seen you two have such a steamy conversation.

Mr. Park has been single for a really long time.

I have to help him out.

You don't have to write about me.

Please write a great article on her instead.

I'm fine.

Men always take the spotlight by themselves anyway.

You two can take credit for this case.

Come in.

Ms. Lee, I have a question.

You can ask.

Don't take it the wrong way.

I'd appreciate it if you could answer honestly.

Okay.

Was...

my closing argument awesome?

Sorry?

Yes. You're the sexiest when you're in court.

I'm going to be ecstatic all night if you say that.

Thanks.

You're the best when you're investigating and writing articles.

You just sparkle.

You sparkle even more than usual.

"And so, truth found its freedom."

You were looking for me?

I read your article.

Are you writing literature instead of articles these days?

- Sorry? - You didn't pick up my calls,

nor did you report to Ms. Shin about your whereabouts yesterday.

Aren't you busy with managing the company?

Or are you just keeping watch on people?

Don't you think she's getting big-headed...

now that we've treated her like the ace of the team?

I'm just finding my place as a news reporter.

Please don't give me orders that aren't in line with my work.

Everything is for your work.

We need to build a nice building and give you guys a good salary...

so that you can just focus on investigating and writing!

There are countless press companies just out by Gwanghwamun.

Are they chasing the truth like they should be,

or are they just busy getting money in their pockets?

Ms. Lee, we're different!

We're not going to be like that.

I sure hope not.

I don't need to spy on Attorney Park anymore, right?

That's just sharing information, not spying!

I'm going to do my job...

as the ace now.

- Honey, I've decided. - On what?

I'm going to stick right to Mr. Park.

You know that I can be very clingy.

You've supported me for the last five years,

so I'll now move onto Attorney Park...

and suck out everything good out of him.

No, I meant to say, I'll write good articles,

and send you a trip abroad.

Money just comes in as I sleep.

See? I have 45,000 dollars already.

The money isn't just coming in.

It's coming in because you wrote something.

Don't think about how you can earn more money.

Focus on how you can write better news.

What do you say to a food tour around Taiwan?

Or maybe an Audi tour...

in Barcelona?

It's Gaudi, not Audi.

Is that right?

Honey, my father wants to see you.

Would you be okay with that?

Sure, but don't you think things are moving too fast?

- You don't want to? - It's nothing like that.

I've got loads of money.

Just set the date!

Can you dress Jae Yun?

Uncle!

Jae Yun, you're glowing after that shower.

Let's wear something white today.

Uncle, can I really take piano lessons again?

Piano lessons?

Aren't you already as good as Cho Seong Jin?

- Let's learn something else. - Like what?

Let's take time,

lots of time, to think about it.

Tae Yong, Yi Yun as well.

Uncle, I want to learn taekwondo!

Yi Yun, you're already good.

Remember how you beat a friend up and I had to apologize at school?

You said that I should be in the Olympics.

You're good at fighting, but you have to be smart.

Stop training physically and stay home...

to train your brain first.

You're not holding a press conference this time?

A person has been arrested.

I can't just happily talk about it.

(Payment Memorandum)

I've prepared this in case you forgot.

- What is it? - See? You forgot again!

It's a memo...

regarding the reward fee for the Samjung case.

You signed this too! You can't pretend that you forgot.

It's an oath...

that you'll split all fees and awards if you win the case.

Evenly 50-50 between us.

But 60-40. I get 60.

When are you going to give me my share?

Mr. Park,

see how I didn't hold a press conference this time?

Right. Why didn't you? This is our time right now.

Let's have one tomorrow!

Lee Cheol Gyu is under arrest!

Don't you feel bad for his wife and his family?

Is this really the time for us...

to talk about money and celebrate?

Hey!

Why are you so violent?

Your lines are so intricate, but your actions so violent.

I'll give you this instead.

This is my love.

Aren't we eating this together?

You called Lee Cheol Gyu up to the court with your article.

I just did what I always do.

It will soon break 50,000.

This is also my love.

I have such a good eye for people.

I didn't have to run...

to call the real suspect to the court, and earn money.

I'm amazing.

You? Not me?

Attorney Park?

All of this is...

working out so smoothly because you met me.

We just have good teamwork.

"Candidate Jo Ki Soo Says He Doesn't Remember the Samjung Case".

"He Feels Sorry about the Retrial."

He's ruining my meal.

How can this man be in charge of the Supreme Court?

I'm disgusted. I can't eat anymore.

You're already done.

Who's there? Attorney Park is busy.

We don't think alike.

I just arrived at the airport.

I just arrived at the airport.

My ears are bad so I can't hear well.

Please speak louder.

- Where? - I just arrived at the airport!

Hyochung Care Home in Aewol?

Yes, sir!

(Jeju District Court, Ruling of the Court)

(Defendant Oh Jae Duk, Life imprisonment)

(Verdict)

(Hyochung Care Home)

Aren't you hot?

Your armpits are drenched.

Why are you wearing long sleeves?

We doodled on our bodies back when we were immature.

Tattoos are an expression of your style.

The doodles on our body are different from tattoos.

Anyway, our boss doesn't like it when they show.

He says it scares people.

How may we help you?

I forgot to introduce myself.

I'm Han Sun Woong from Osung.

I'm Park Tae Yong.

I'm originally from Yeosu.

Sun Woong means "scared hero". My father named me that...

to become a great man like Admiral Yi Sun Sin.

You know how idols have nicknames? I'm Sun Sin Sun Woong.

I'm Jae Il.

Just like him, call me "Joseon Jae Il".

The sexiest man in Joseon.

Anyway, how may we help you?

I was distracted.

We're here about our boss.

We saw on the news that you're an awesome lawyer.

Have you heard...

of the trucker murder in Osung in 2002?

So, what happened was,

someone stabbed the trucker ruthlessly with a knife.

He was stabbed a whopping 17 times. 17 times.

What does that mean? What?

What else? He had a grudge.

Exactly! It was without a doubt a grudge killing.

But our boss was framed for it!

My blood is boiling from thinking about it again.

- Another frame job for murder? - Yes.

Our boss was only 17 at the time, and he was framed.

You're a lawyer...

and you're a reporter?

- Yes, that's right. - Yes.

You look kind of wasted.

Well, sure.

Please help us.

Well...

So, you're saying a 17-year-old boy was framed...

- for the 2002 Osung trucker murder. - Yes.

So do you still work for your boss?

We got into some trouble and went to jail when we were young.

Our boss helped us a lot so we wouldn't go astray.

Once we got out, we worked for about three months...

beating up protestors and intimidating people.

People called us gangsters and things like that, but now,

we've completely cleaned up.

- We run an interior design company. - I see.

Why didn't he come himself instead of sending you?

Our boss...

He is very insecure because he only finished grade school.

He breaks out into a cold sweat when he's with educated people.

He can't talk or anything.

We're intellectuals who finished eighth grade.

That's why we're fine meeting with a lawyer.

We can communicate just fine.

That's right. My apologies.

But our boss...

can't carry on sophisticated conversations like us.

No.

Do you not do bad things anymore?

Mr. Park. We're not like that.

We went to jail back then because we got into a little fight,

but only because we didn't have money to settle.

Please help us.

We want to start a new life,

but our boss's murder conviction...

makes it hard.

If he stabbed him 17 times,

he must've been evil.

I told you, didn't I? He was pure evil.

I can't give you false hope, so I'll be blunt.

I may not be able to take on the case.

Let me look it over and get back to you.

How many years was your boss in prison?

- 10 years. - 10 years?

Ten years?

Ten years. That's a million dollars in compensation...

and another from the government. That's two million.

And at a 10 percent contingency fee, that's 200,000 dollars.

I know. I do.

- That's a lot of money. - I know.

- Then say you'll take the case. - I'm the lawyer here.

I'll look it over and contact you.

Okay, then. We'll leave you our boss's wife's number.

- Okay. - We'll take that.

Ask them for exclusivity.

- Quiet. - We need to win them over.

Here.

I was tortured a long time ago,

so I can't hear out of my left ear!

This right ear isn't that good either.

- I see. - So?

Why did you come from Seoul?

Jo Ki Soo! Candidate for Chief Justice of the Supreme Court!

Who? Talk louder!

Jo Ki Soo!

That evil scumbag!

Who's cursing at someone so loudly?

Did someone sin against you?

I'm sorry.

Jo Ki Soo.

That man succeeded.

I saw him on TV recently.

I haven't heard anything in any particular detail.

So, if I do hear anything specific,

- I will... - You did this to me,

- Thank you. - but you're successful.

This is the spot.

When I was 15 years old,

I fled by boat to Japan.

There were about 30 people on the boat.

When you were 15?

There was even a woman with an infant.

Many people from Jeju Island...

fled by boat to Japan a long time ago.

Since there was no way to make a living.

They risked their lives and crossed the sea...

in order to survive.

I returned to my home country in 1989...

and came right here.

But not long after,

I was dragged to the police station for no reason.

I suffered all sorts of terrible torture...

and was framed for being a spy.

What kind of torture did they do to you?

They tied my hands behind my back like this,

and they stomped on my legs...

with all their body weight.

They beat me up so hard,

that they ruptured my eardrum.

We have to take this case.

People without a family to worry about like us should do it.

Who else will catch someone who stabbed a man 17 times?

We don't have a family? Who doesn't?

I may not talk about it, but I'm supporting four people.

Including my second mother,

there are 5 people that I must provide for. 5!

I couldn't do it because of money,

but if I apply for public housing, I'll be picked for sure.

We have a big family, never owned a house, 300,000 dollars in debt.

I have everything but money.

I have no family?

I have too many.

Me too. I may not be married, but I have a live-in girlfriend.

I have to meet her family.

And I promised her we'd go to Barcelona to visit Gaudi's...

Exactly. So let's not do it. I have a bad feeling about it.

Let's at least take a look.

No! Don't open it.

A person died a cruel death.

This has pictures and everything.

- Just a peek. - No!

You'll have nightmares. I mean it.

You shouldn't touch things like this that recklessly.

You are so sensitive.

There's an image that I've worked very hard to build.

Even if they were wronged, I can't defend a gangster.

They said they weren't gangsters!

They're not?

They go, "Boss!" And have tattoos all over.

There you go again. Like when you first saw me.

Judging people based on their appearance.

That's different. They really went to...

They've been in prison.

It was a whole 10 years.

That's a nice angle.

You cleared the names of the homeless man after five years,

the Samjung trio after six years.

You cleared their names.

What year do you move onto next? Ten years.

Jail time isn't about math.

We don't know whether or not he was really framed.

Mr. Park. People have something called "tolerance".

You got 5 years, and then 6.

If you help people who were in jail for 3 or 4 years, they won't care.

Furthermore,

think of the contingency fee.

Think about that.

A million from The Justice Department...

and a million from the government. That's two million dollars.

10 percent of 2 million is 200,000 dollars in fees.

Contingency fee.

Contingency fee.

Contingency fee.

Let's go, Park Tae Yong. Let's go.

I'm not sure.

You won't do it? After all that?

- Please eat. - was overturned.

Testimonies made in court are the most reliable...

and given the greatest weight.

I've brought the trial records...

from 2013.

All three of the defendants...

confessed when they were in court.

If even one of them had denied it,

I would've decided differently.

During my 30 years as a judge,

I've rendered my decisions based on the law and my conscience.

What is he saying?

He says he always followed the law and the rules!

That liar.

How could he lie with such a straight face?

(Supreme Court Justice Jo Ki Soo)

Jo Ki Soo was like a deity...

to all of us.

A deity?

People who are framed and imprisoned...

do not pray to a deity up there.

They pray to the judges sitting on the bench.

Because our fate was in their hands.

The cops beat me.

The prosecutors didn't believe me.

But I still had one person to turn to.

I hoped at least the judge...

would believe me.

Every day, I prayed desperately,

thinking of the judge.

"Your Honor,"

"please believe what I say..."

"and set me free."

That's what I prayed.

I told the judge,

our deity, countless times.

Your Honor,

I was tortured by the police for 45 days.

I couldn't take it anymore,

so I lied that I was a spy.

I'm almost deaf in my left ear...

because the eardrum ruptured.

I'm not a spy.

Please believe me.

Sentence will be passed in two weeks.

"Try rolling up your pants."

"Let me have a look at your ear."

Didn't the presiding judge, Jo Ki Soo, say anything like that?

If he did,

I wouldn't feel this frustrated.

How could your deity do that to you?

How could he?

I resent...

the judges even more...

than the cops who tortured me.

For violating the National Security Law by acting as a spy,

the defendant is sentenced to life.

Your Honor, please have a look at the wounds on my body!

I beg you! I'm innocent!

I'm not a spy, Your Honor!

- Next defendant, Kang Ju Seong. - I'm not!

Judges are the last hope...

of powerless people like me.

And he trampled on my trust in him.

That hurt even more...

than the cops' beating.

Betrayal hurt more...

than the beating.

It all happened because I was foolish and powerless.

It's all my fault.

How is it your fault?

Jo Ki Soo is neither apologizing nor taking responsibility.

Why are you blaming yourself?

(Attorney Park Tae Yong)

- Ms. Lee is in Aewol, Jeju Island. - What is she doing there?

Is she seeing someone?

What?

What are you talking about?

I know a reporter at...

What was it called? Right, YBS.

He's a cool guy. Very good-looking.

He's from Aewol, Jeju Island.

Yoo Kyung is pretty close to him.

Look at this. This guy here.

Here.

He's not that good-looking.

- You think so? - This is no big deal.

But isn't it a good thing if they're dating?

- It is. - Nothing wrong about that.

- Right? - I guess.

Ms. Shin, I'm on my way back from the interview.

Good job.

Get back safe.

Turns out, Judge Jo Ki Soo has made...

many problematic rulings so far.

Not everything you write gets published, though.

You need the editor and director's permission.

You know that, right?

(Attorney Park Tae Yong)

I'll go write some...

No. I'll go make some money.

I should make a lot of money...

for you to take gang cases without worrying, right?

(Attorney Park Tae Yong)

He called me so many times.

I hope everything's okay.

Hello?

You were on a plane?

So that's why I couldn't reach you.

I was very worried.

I called you five times...

during the 30-minute flight?

Yes, I had five missed calls from you.

The world is dangerous these days.

I was so worried that I had to call five times.

By the way,

what did you do in Jeju Island?

Oh, an interview?

Are you writing another exclusive story?

So you were working.

Mr. Mayor, you didn't have to wait outside.

Of course, I should.

How about we go for a drive?

I never say no to a late-night drive.

My goodness.

There's something...

I need to discuss with the mayor in private.

- Mr. Jang, please get out. - Okay. I'll...

I'll see you later.

Gosh.

Jo Ki Soo will still be the next Chief Justice.

Prosecutor Jang Yoon Suk...

will be promoted to head prosecutor too.

I see. Thank you.

If Prosecutor Jang...

wants to run in the next general election,

he should work harder.

He's not good enough yet.

He comes from a humble background,

so he still has a hard time adjusting.

I'll pay more attention to him.

To achieve great things,

you should sometimes even cut off a family member.

I see.

Start selling the offices in Techno Town now.

If you hold on to them longer, it'll cause trouble.

Give a lot, and take even more.

Okay. Got it.

We've collected 48,000 dollars so far.

I'll write another story so we can go over 50,000 dollars.

You're getting more and more vulgar.

It's not cool to be so blatant.

It was to realize true journalism...

that I launched that service.

To allow people to sponsor good articles.

Can't we at least say that?

But that's too cringy.

Who am I to talk about journalism...

and alternatives?

If you think about it, I do deserve to, though.

Anyway, thank you so much. You saved us.

Mr. Park, where are you? Can you come over?

I'll buy you a drink.

Hey, can't you just come if I tell you to?

Are you being so cold because we had one fight?

I have to go make money. I can't drink.

What?

Did he just hang up on me?

Why would I go there? Am I crazy?

Hey.

How did you win Lee Cheol Gyu over?

It's a business secret.

Don't ask. That's unprofessional.

By the way, Mr. Park, you know what?

My father-in-law loves you.

He says you're amazing at cleaning up dog poop.

He loves Lawyer Park Tae Yong too...

because he chooses the path no one else chooses.

The pioneer of the creative economy!

I don't want to be reminded that I cleaned up dog poop,

so please stop talking about it.

Oh, your head.

I once hit you on the back of your head while you were kneeling down.

Are you okay now?

Goodness, I'm sorry.

Why did you tell me to come?

Well, it's just...

I was feeling lonely.

I went from being a village boy to a wealthy man's son-in-law.

Do you have any idea how empty I feel inside?

- My goodness. - Life is hard.

It sure is.

- Darn it. - What happened?

Hey, are you asleep?

Darn it. I don't have time for this.

- Okay, we're here. The door's open. - Hey.

Get it together, man.

Why is a jobless guy...

taking care of the son-in-law of a conglomerate owner?

- Hey. - Goodness.

Honey.

This is Park from S University who destroyed me.

She's the future director of Seungwoon Academy. My wife.

Say hi.

Okay. Hello. He's very drunk.

Hey, you. Do you want to be a professor?

Want a job at a university that Seungwoon runs?

Honey, what do you say?

What...

That's how she is. The ice princess.

She thinks she's Elsa. She's cold as ice.

Hey, you! Park!

Darn you.

Thanks.

Someone who lives in a house like this...

gets drunk and whines that he's lonely and sad.

"The past of Jo Ki Soo, our deity."

Let me see the conclusion.

Where did you get this?

There are people doing a sit-in in front of the courthouse.

They introduced me to this history professor, Hyun Dong Moon.

Now that the Sam Soo issue is over, there's another problem.

Isn't it safe...

to report about Jo Ki Soo?

If he becomes the next Chief Justice of the Supreme Court,

he is the third highest in all of Korea.

We even took down the president, who was the highest.

Why are you afraid of the third highest?

Ms. Lee. Wait outside.

I have faith in Mr. Moon Joo Hyung, who was once a true reporter.

Sure.

We can't print this. Bury it.

How can we bury it? The reporters will protest.

You figure it out! Just bury it!

Must I lay it all out for you?

What's the big deal about Jo Ki Soo...

Jo Ki Soo will become the chief justice soon.

Next year is the general election.

The presidential election is the year after.

Don't you see the controlling party has weakened?

Don't you see the new party sweeping in like a tsunami?

Don't give me an attitude. Stop it at all costs.

Give me some time.

This afternoon at the Blue House, President Lee...

issued a Letter of Appointment to Supreme Court Justice Jo Ki Soo.

President Lee said...

Get the decisions...

for all the appeals and beef up your story...

if you want it to print.

We should see on what basis the Supreme Court decided that.

- Must I explain more? - No.

I'll investigate more.

Time goes really slowly in here.

That's not good already.

I know how that feels.

When I was in a holding cell at a police station before,

time really crawled.

You've been in a holding cell at a police station?

I went to high school twice.

I fought a lot...

and used to be reckless.

I haven't been to jail in a while,

but it still has the same vibe as long ago.

- In what way? - There are many without parents.

People who wouldn't have come to jail...

if they had parents or any family...

who could help and protect them.

People who couldn't pay a few grand to settle.

It's full of people like that.

I see.

I feel bad.

Your child must be growing.

I feel terrible when I think about your wife and child.

Once I pay for my sins here and get out,

I'll raise my baby well.

I've repented, I'll pay for my sins,

I'll live with a penitent heart for the rest of my life.

Who would complain?

I'll check in on your wife and baby when I can.

Mr. Park. You've been here for almost four hours.

Shouldn't you go?

Look at the time.

Okay, I'll get going now.

Mr. Park.

Why did you come today?

I thought you'd be bored,

so I came to keep you company.

Rich inmates do this often. They pay their lawyers to visit.

There's isn't much I can do for you.

I'll visit now and then.

Thank you.

(He was desperate for 10 dollars)

(To: Kim Kwi Hyun)

Hi, Kwi Hyun. I'm sending you two articles at once.

Let's go!

(Mail sent)

Nice, Sam Soo. His articles are becoming works of art...

ever since he met me.

Hello?

Okay. I'm sorry. I'll move my car right away.

I'm sorry about that. Okay.

The money keeps coming in.

We'll become rich at this rate.

We don't envy the west.

In Korea, we have Sam Soo of New Media.

We're doing it Sam Soo style?

I like the sound of that. Right?

Our balance keeps shooting up.

That's hot. So hot.

That genius Kwi Hyun.

His ingenuity is shooting through the roof since he met me.

Hot. So hot.

Sweetie. Book our flight to Barcelona.

And how about a hanwoo short ribs set...

for when we visit your father?

Don't worry. Who am I?

I can afford that much.

I didn't hear from you much after the Samjung City case ended,

so I was very hurt, if I can be honest with you.

Yes, sir.

Thank you very much for the tip on Jo Ki Soo.

I'll think it over and call you.

Yes, sir.

Also, I'm going to give you a lot in Techno Town...

to News and New.

Will 1,652m² do? In zone A-3.

Thank you, Mr. Mayor!

I'll serve you with all my heart...

and join you until you reach the highest place.

Goodness. Stop that, man. Kneeling is tacky.

- Get up. - Yes, sir.

- Get up. - Yes, sir.

Goodbye, sir.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Don't get me started.

Jo Ki Soo decided incorrectly on many cases.

If he becomes the next Chief Justice of the Supreme Court,

he is the third highest in all of Korea.

Get the decisions...

for all the appeals and beef up your story...

if you want it to print.

We should see on what basis the Supreme Court decided that.

This is what I have.

Search for the appeals in the court archives.

Thank you, professor.

I don't understand why the media doesn't report this.

I'll do all I can to report it.

I thought I should let you know, Justice Ki.

Have you heard of Oh Jae Duk of Jeju?

A rookie reporter at News and New is digging into that case.

Professor. The Oh Jae Duk decisions can't be accessed anymore.

I see.

Thank you.

Those jerks.

(Mr. Oh Jae Duk)

Do you have a copy of the court decisions?

You do? Thank you!

I'll come to you right now!

Hello.

The third stage of funding is finally complete!

We collected a total of 55,000 dollars!

I can send my niece and nephew to piano and taekwondo now.

- Awesome! - Okay, let's do the math.

Your eyes shine when you calculate money.

Yours too.

I need to go to Barcelona for a short while.

I'm going to meet the soccer guru Messi.

Encare Messi.

This isn't the time for this.

Okay. 10 percent is 5,500 dollars.

4,000 in fees for the payment system.

That's a lot.

Yes. That's almost 10,000 dollars.

We still have 45,000 left!

So I'll be generous.

You get 25,000.

I get 20,000.

You are an angel. You really are.

But... What about the Samjung trio?

Things are tough for them, right?

Then how...

I think we should split it equally to avoid future problems.

Split five ways is... That's 45,000 dollars.

9,000 dollars it is!

That went down a lot.

We forgot about Mr. Choi Yong Seok.

He worked so hard for a very long time.

If we divide that into six,

it's 7,500 dollars.

I can't eat anything...

when I think of Cheol Gyu's wife and child.

Divide that in seven...

That's 6,000 dollars.

- There's also Won Bok's mother. - I quit!

No more!

Why not?

Wait. There's a time for everything.

He's becoming the Chief Justice, so why rain on his parade?

I'm not publishing this! I'm giving a firm no.

Get going!

We have all the proof...

that he pronounced wrongful verdicts, so why not?

Absolutely not. Get out!

Does the evidence disappear if you just rip those papers apart?

Ms. Lee, stop it.

I was promised a lot in Techno Town.

This is the best day since we opened News and New!

You read it, right?

What hurts more than a punch is when trust betrays.

I'm disappointed in both of you.

What's wrong? Where are you going?

What? Don't leave.

I want to let my niece and nephew attend an academy.

My mom works at a bathhouse. I need to repay her debt for her.

I need to buy Jin Shil's father some good beef too.

I'm sorry.

Let's be generous this time.

Once we have a philanthropist...

Philanthropist!

My ears are going to bleed from you saying that all the time!

I can't even go to Barcelona!

If I get kicked out of my house, are you going to take me in?

This is giving me a headache.

Hey. Let's work on this.

- You need to come to Jeju with me. - Sorry?

Do you have a boyfriend in Jeju? Why do you keep going there?

What's this?

Mr. Park, let's get rid of Supreme Court Justice Jo Ki Soo.

How can he become a Supreme Court Chief Justice?

Let's stop now.

It's all meaningless.

I have no will to live on.

You're the one who got me like this.

Why do you guys keep betraying and stuff?

(Delayed Justice)

- Let's take this on. - How can we fight Jo Ki Soo?

The Samjung case isn't the only case he's framed people on.

Is there still something that needs to stay covered?

Don't you feel sorry?

How come you never apologize for your misjudgments?

I'm asking you! Why aren't you answering?

Did you look through the Osung case?

I told you not to look at it!

How dare he yell at me like that?

I don't know how far we can go with this,

but don't waste any more time and come back right now.
