DEPICTED IN THIS DRAMA
ARE ENTIRELY FICTITIOUS

EPISODE 2

This is your evidence?

Yes. Do you object to the submission

of this evidence?

Will the prosecution accept it?

Yes.

Your Honor,
and ladies and gentlemen of the jury,

look very carefully.

The evidence to prove
the defendant's innocence is in this box.

Is there anything in it?

-No.
-What do you see?

I don't see anything.

Yes, that's right. As you have all seen,

there isn't a single evidence
to prove the defendant's innocence.

There's no evidence proving his innocence,

so, we can think that the defendant
is guilty, can't we?

Then, you are all making the assumption
that the defendant is guilty.

However, in Korean Law,
one is innocent until proven guilty,

but one isn't guilty
until proven innocent.

What I'm saying is,

just because the defendant
has four previous convictions,

none of us should presume
that he is guilty.

Article 307 of the Criminal Procedure Act,

"Fact-finding must be based on evidence."

It's the principle of trial by evidence.

We don't presume one's guilt,

but it must be proven
through definitive evidence

and it is up to the prosecutor…

to prove his guilt.

All right, Prosecutor Baek.

Please put in the evidence
that the defendant is guilty

into this box.

There is…

no evidence.

There's only the witness's testimony that
the defendant tried to steal his wallet.

Objection.

If this was a case about theft,

we'd have clear evidence,

but it was only attempted,

so, we can only judge
by circumstantial evidence.

Yes, that's a great point.

That's all the more reason
for you to prove

whether the defendant had any motive

to steal.

That way, as the prosecution claimed,

the theft attempt charge would be
proven to be true.

The defendant has already

admitted his guilt and confessed
while being examined by the prosecution.

Why would he have done that?

Article 12, Section 7 of the Constitution,

"If the defendant's confession
was due to torture, assault, threat,

prolonged imprisonment,
or deception, etc.,

and it seemed as though
it wasn't a willful confession,

it cannot be used to prove his guilt
nor can it be used to penalize him."

Are you suggesting
the possibility of torture or assault?

Do you think one makes false confessions
only because of torture or assault?

Didn't you placate the defendant
by promising him that if he confesses,

he'll be given some leniency?

Think of your family.

It says you have a daughter and a wife.

The defendant was presumably caught
in the act and arrested on the spot.

After that, he was questioned
while being in custody for 36 days.

There was no way for him
to prove his innocence,

and the only thing he could do
was ask for leniency.

Under these frustrating circumstances,

what if he was approached
by the prosecutor with an offer?

The counsel is speaking
as though his speculation is a fact.

Sustained.

Take caution, counsel.

Yes.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,

the prosecutors will soon
question the defendant.

What you must carefully watch for…

isn't whether the defendant seems
like a person who might steal a wallet.

You must carefully watch to see
if the defendant really did get caught

stealing the wallet. Thank you.

Prosecution, you may proceed.

Defendant.

You have a total of 13 million won
of outstanding hospital bills.

So, how much did you save for two months
after you got out of prison?

Did you do your best as a father?

Weren't you neglecting your duty
as a father?

Objection.

The question is unrelated to this case.

Is the defendant in trial
for being an incapable father?

As the counsel said,

this case is limited to
being judged by circumstantial evidence.

Because of that, we must consider
the situation the defendant was in,

as we can know the reason or motive
behind the action.

The counsel's objection is overruled.

ONE DOLLAR LAWYER

Counsel, you may cross-examine him.

Defendant, you have been convicted
four times for theft, haven't you?

-Yes.
-Then, when you pickpocketed in the past,

where did you usually do it?

Mr. Cheon.

Isn't that a question
the prosecutor should ask?

Please answer, defendant.

Department stores, hotel saunas, banks…

Places like that.

-What was the reason?
-Because I made good money.

-You made good money?
-Yes.

So, rather than subway stations
or the restrooms at Seoul Station,

you preferred department stores or hotels
where you could make good money.

Then, when you pickpocketed in the past,

did you ever get caught in the act?

-No.
-Why is that?

Well…

Defendant, what was your nickname
when you pickpocketed?

Please answer.

It was "Invisible Hand."

Invisible Hand?

It isn't "Invisible Love," everyone.

It was because he was so fast.

His hand was so fast
that you couldn't see it move.

So, how could he get caught
when he's the Invisible Hand?

Could the defendant who was
called Invisible Hand

-drunkenly steal the witness'--
-Your Honor.

During this incident, the defendant was
caught using his left hand

as he had injured his right hand.

Yes, that's right. During the incident,
the defendant did injure his right hand.

Defendant, how did you injure
your right hand?

Please answer.

After I got out this time…

I'm so happy you're here.

I was going to clean up my act.

I'm sorry, Somi.

No one believed me, though.

Be here for my birthday this year.

Promise.

That's why I crushed my hand with a rock.

Objection.

It's a testimony
that cannot be proven in court.

He could have hurt his hand
while he was working.

Sustained.

Sustain what?

I didn't do it,
so what are you sustaining?

Defendant.

You treat me like a criminal already,

so what's the point of having a trial?

Order, defendant!

I really didn't do it!

If you don't calm down, you'll be removed.

Do you know how it feels
to be sitting here?

To you high-and-mighty people, I'm nothing
but a convicted piece of trash.

Bailiff, remove him from court.

Mr. Lee Myeongho,

remember what I said

earlier.

You promised me.

Keep that promise.

I'll keep the promise
I made to your daughter to meet you.

How on earth will you do that?

Please sit.

Your Honor and people of the jury,
I apologize.

I apologize on my defendant's behalf
for his outburst.

Your Honor, I have one last question
to the victim who happens to be

the only witness.

Witness, please approach the stand.

Please close your eyes.

Why should I do that?

It is to more thoroughly understand
the circumstances

surrounding the case once again.

All right. Let's say that

this place is Seoul Station's restroom
on the day of the incident.

-Was the restroom completely empty?
-Yes.

-You were urinating by yourself.
-Yes.

But you claim that the defendant

-grabbed your wallet from behind, right?
-Yes.

Even though you were drunk,
you sensed something was wrong,

so you caught him.

Yes.

But…

why couldn't you feel it just now?

You had…

puffer fish stew for lunch today.

By the way, I like puffer fish stew too.
It's very delicious.

You may go back, defendant.

This is your wallet, isn't it?

What the heck are you doing?

How can you do this
in this sacred court of law?

I was checking something.

Checking what?

Were you checking to see
if he was good at pickpocketing?

Yes, that is exactly right.

I wanted to check how good
the defendant was at pickpocketing,

and at the same time,

I wanted to check how you reacted
when you weren't drunk as well.

Your Honor,

the counsel is distorting the truth
of this case.

When someone closes their eyes,
their other senses become more sensitive.

But as you just saw,

despite being completely sober,

the witness didn't feel the defendant
stealing his wallet at all.

That night,

the witness was drunk

and he was in a bathroom
filled with various noises,

but he felt the defendant grab his wallet,
so he caught him.

Are you okay?

Everyone,

the defendant is
a four-time convict of thievery.

But this is the first time

he was caught in the act like this.

Why is that? Why wasn't he
ever caught in the act before?

It's because…

he was truly an expert.

The man who's called the Invisible Hand

was caught trying to pickpocket
the drunk witness's wallet?

Well, if the defendant really wanted
to steal the witness's wallet,

would he really have been caught
by the drunk witness?

I think this is a reasonable doubt

that we must have towards this case.

I rest my case.

SEOUL CENTRAL DISTRICT COURT

Why aren't you staying until the end?

Mari wouldn't want me to watch.

I can't believe he made him
pickpocket someone in court.

How typical of him.

You remember, don't you?

Yes.

He acted so proud.
I guess no one wanted him.

Find out where he's working.

You don't want to recruit him, do you?

Do you think he would join us
if we asked him?

Then, why…

Let's go.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,
I'm sure there are some of you who wonder

why we have to punish someone
for just an attempted crime.

But in cases of repeated theft
like the defendant,

the law has stipulated that
one can't simply get off

because it was an attempted crime.

That's because the nature of the crime
isn't lessened because it was an attempt.

If the defendant hasn't been reformed
after going to prison four times before,

it would be best for him

to go through the correctional system
again and come out as a reformed person.

Therefore, the prosecution thinks

that someone who repeatedly
committed theft

or has attempted it

must be punished in accordance with

Act on the Aggravated Punishment
of Specific Crimes

which states they must serve
a life sentence or over three years,

so I'd like to demand the defendant
to serve five years in prison.

Your Honor,
and ladies and gentlemen of the jury,

our law requires the prosecution
to prove the defendant's guilt

beyond any reasonable doubt.

"When in doubt,
rule in favor of the defendant."

When it's doubtful, it should be
beneficial towards the defendant.

That's because it's the principle
of Criminal Law.

Why should it be favorable
to the defendant when in doubt?

What if we really let go
of a guilty person?

It would be a relief
to lock the defendant up

rather than set him free, right?

"Who told him to do something suspicious?"

"I'll never do anything suspicious,
so it has nothing to do with me."

No, no.

That's not right.

It is important

for our law to punish
someone who committed a crime.

But it is more important…

to not punish someone
who didn't commit the crime.

Even if we lose ten criminals,
"we shouldn't wrongfully imprison

even one person."

I'm sure you've heard that before
at least once.

In order to do that, our law requires
that if it is even remotely doubtful,

it should judge favorably
to the defendant.

"When in doubt,
rule in favor of the defendant."

That principle will one day protect

someone most dear to you
at the most important moment.

Meaning, our very selves.

They have reached a verdict.

OPERATING ROOM

According to the jury,

the verdict that they reached unanimously…

PROSECUTION

…regarding Defendant Lee Myeongho
who was charged with theft

under the Act on the Aggravated Punishment
of Specific Crimes...

...he is found not guilty.

Yes!

The witness may have misunderstood
the defendant's attempt

to help the witness who was stumbling
as trying to steal his wallet,

so the prosecutor's charges
are difficult to prove

beyond reasonable doubt.

Defendant.

No, Mr. Lee Myeongho.

After the trial, the prosecution
will take steps

to release you immediately.

Thank you.

You've been through a lot.

SEOUL CENTRAL DISTRICT COURT

Thank you, Mr. Cheon.

Don't worry too much.
It'll be difficult for them to appeal.

You should hurry.
I was told that Somi's surgery went well.

Really? I'll get going.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you.

Congratulations, Mr. Cheon Jihun.

What are you congratulating me for?
Is this something to be congratulated?

Ah.

You're right.

Let's shake hands!

-Okay.
-Ms. Baek.

Are you going to appeal?

If you aren't,
quickly give him the final ruling.

You know that Mr. Lee's daughter,
Somi, needs those medical bills.

Let's let them receive indemnification.

Indemnification?

Yes, it's usually five times
the minimum wage.

Mr. Sa. How much is
the minimum wage this year?

-It's 9,160 won.
-What is five times of that?

It's 45,800 won.

-Since you work eight hours a day…
-That's 366,400 won.

-And 36 days of that?
-It would be 13,190,400 won.

Lastly, how much is
Somi's medical bills until now?

It's 13,008,128 won!

Then, her medical bills
have been sorted out!

-What are you doing?
-You're the best, Mr. Cheon!

It's because I'm so thankful to you

for taking care of Somi's medical bills.

I'm starting to get hungry.

I know. What should we eat?

Do you like jjajangmyeon, Ms. Baek?

No, I don't like jjajangmyeon.

You don't like jjajangmyeon?

-Then…
-Then,

what about pork belly at my place?
It's been a while.

Do you like pork belly?

Even if I did, why would I go there?

I was just asking. What's wrong?

Let's go, Mr. Sa.

Hang on a minute.

Do you really think
Mr. Lee Myeongho didn't try to steal it?

You think he did it,

but his situation was so pitiful that

you wanted to help him, didn't you?

Ms. Baek,

isn't that question a bit lame?

Neither you or I can
define the truth on our own.

All we can do is
to try to get close to it.

I think that I got

a little closer to it than you this time.

Good job, though.

It has been so long
since we had pork belly with soju.

Is it frozen or refrigerated?

It's refrigerated, of course.

Then, hurry up and call your wife.

I hit my knee on my way up here.

Okay.

Somi, are you okay?

Somi, do your recognize Mommy and Daddy?

Somi, you won't be sick anymore.

I won't go anywhere from now on.
I promise, okay?

As it will be an objection
to the next case's judgment,

I'd like to appeal this case.

BAEK MARI
DEFENDANT: LEE MYEONGHO

Neither you or I can
define the truth on our own.

All we can do is
to try to get close to it.

I think that I got

a little closer to it than you this time.

I'm so sad to see you leave.

I know.

You came when we were busy,
so all you did was work.

You've all worked hard.

Good job these last two months.

It's a souvenir
for being a probationary judicial officer.

Hey.

I'D LIKE TO APPEAL THIS CASE.

Withdrawal of appeal.

It's a tough decision
for a prosecutor to make

because it's as if you're admitting
that you were wrong.

That was the most prosecutor thing
you've done, Baek Mari.

Don't forget why you decided
to withdraw the appeal.

When you lose focus, look at that.

Okay.

Isn't it a bit much?

If not you, who would be able
to handle something like this?

I'm okay with it,
but I'm worried about Grandpa.

That gives you all the more reason
to stand out.

All right.

Go to work like this?

Haven't you seen George Clooney's wife?

She's a lawyer, but she's always
in the news for what she's wearing.

Enjoy being in the news, Mom.

-You look nice.
-You brat.

-Doesn't she look good?
-It looks so good on her.

-We'll take this.
-Yes, ma'am.

Let's go see something else.

-I said it's a bit much.
-What about that one?

-Let me just pick.
-What about that?

Ladies.

-Hey, Mari.
-Hey.

-Sorry I'm late.
-No, not at all.

-Why do you look so pretty today?
-Do I look okay?

-Of course.
-Let's go.

Ms. Lee Bokyung, I heard

that you are interested in finance,
so I've assigned you to that team.

And Ms. Yoo Semi and Ms. Oh Jiyoung,

you've been assigned
to the corporate services team.

Please use this.

How is it? Do you like it?

Yes.

What about me?

When the three of you leave,
they'll show you where to go.

-Yes.
-All right. Thank you.

Bye.

You could have just told me, Grandpa.

Ms. Baek Mari.

Yes?

It turns out you can't be
a probationary employee here.

What? Grandpa.

There you go again.

You promised not to call me Grandpa here.

Yes, Mr. Baek.

Why can't be a probationary employee here?

You are going to work
at a far better place, Ms. Baek.

A better place than here?

Here.

You can go to that place.

SEOUL JONGNO-GU, PUNGJIN-RO 100, ROOM 201

Do you think I can't do it?

After you finish working
as a probationary employee there,

proudly come back to Baek Law Firm.

You can do it, can't you?

JONGNO-GU, PUNGJIN-RO 100

LAWYER'S OFFICE, 2F

I know you're in there.
Open the door already.

Darn it. Are you going to be like this?

I can't let this go on any longer,

so either pay the overdue rent
or move out.

You'd better not give me any excuses.

They're unbelievable.

Geez. I'm sick and tired of them.

YEOJIN COFFEE HOUSE LAWYER'S OFFICE, 2F

This can't be right.

Anyone there? Is no one there?

Of course not. Who'd come here?
I bet they went out of business long ago.

Since they went out of business,
how can I be a probationary employee?

Grandpa must've gotten it all wrong.
Even if I wanted to work here, I couldn't.

-Is she gone?
-She's gone.

But there's a strange woman there.

Who is it? Is it her daughter?

Oh, my gosh. This is insane.

If you can't
last two months there,

don't even think of coming back to Baek.

I am counting on you, Mari.

This is the last time, Grandpa.

Is that prosecutor Ms. Cho's daughter?

Is the prosecutor from that time
Ms. Cho's daughter?

Hide!

Excuse me.

Uh…

Oh, you were Ms. Cho's daughter, Ms. Baek.

Oh!

Hello.

So,

you're saying that you aren't
Ms. Cho's daughter, right?

My goodness. I got scared
for no reason at all.

You don't look that feeble.

Feeble?

She picks things up quicker
than she looks.

Anyway, this is your office, right?

Is this a coffee house or an office?
What's wrong with this place?

Look, I get that it's dirty
and looks like a coffee house.

But please don't insult
someone else's office.

It's a precious place for me.

I said it the way it is.
Why are you being so sensitive?

All right. Anyway,

what brings your high-and-mighty self
to our humble office?

Do you want to work
as a probationary employee?

Sorry. My joke went too far.

Come on, Jihun.
Ms. Baek, what brings you here?

Your joke did go too far.

You see…

-You see.
-Yes?

Never mind. I think my GPS
gave me the wrong directions. Bye.

Isn't this hers?

Let me see.

What is this?

Hey, don't…

Don't touch that.

Don't open it!

Don't open--

Are you okay? Are you okay, Ms. Baek?

It must've been quite a shock.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Oh, she came here to work
as a probationary employee.

Gosh, she photoshopped her photo.
Look at that jawline.

What are you talking about?

I don't want to be
a probationary employee.

It says it there that you want to do that.

This is insane.

Look, I totally understand.
This is an insane situation for you.

It won't be easy to work
at such a dirty, coffee house-like place.

Even if you wanted to work here,
I have to let you do that.

But it won't be easy to get my permission.

What will you do, Ms. Baek?

Should I give you the job or not?

How embarrassing.

-Isn't it funny?
-It isn't funny. Stop.

You can't do this
on your own anyway, Mr. Cheon.

It'll be nice to work together.

If you get a case early in the morning,
it'll be better to accept it together.

What is there not to like about this?

You two have teamed up.

Mr. Sa. What is good
about working together?

It's only good if she's good at her job.

Didn't you see her at court?
She's horrible.

There must have been a misunderstanding.

You know what "misunderstanding" means,
don't you?

I know. You don't mean it, do you?

Are you crazy?
Why would I want to work here?

And under you at that?

You see that?

I said I'd give her the job,
but she says she doesn't want it.

What can I do? Hmm.

The door is over there.

Why don't you clean up?
Who would come to an office like this?

You should pay your overdue rent
and clean up this mess, okay?

Okay.

Say all you want to say before you go.

But…

Come on. Is it good?

I'm just eating it.

Geez. Why is that guy here?

Darn it! This is going too far, Grandpa.

Grandpa!

How could you do that to me?

Back already?

Why? He wouldn't let you work there?

-What?
-Gosh.

I was worried as I sent you there
without any notice.

I thought you'd be able
to handle that on your own.

Grandpa, you see--

I know. He saw how you were
during the trial, so--

No. I don't want to work there. Me.

Why not?

I don't want to work for someone who
picks up after others for chump change.

Then, what about you
who lost to a lawyer like that?

That time, I was…

Even I would have lost that trial

to that lawyer who picks up
after others for chump change.

How much a lawyer makes

doesn't define the skills of that lawyer.

I know that too, but he's kind of weird.

His office is dirty too.

It's only two months, no more than that.

You still can't do it?

Why do you want me to work there so much?

Mmm...

That's because…

he's the kind of lawyer we don't have
at Baek.

My goodness. My son has been
working so hard, hasn't he?

No, I haven't.

I know you have. Your look so worn out.

I'm too old for this.

Get married and have a child.
You'll know how cute they are.

I should get married, right?

-Of course.
-That's why I bought it.

-What?
-Hang on.

Ta-da!

I'm going to propose to Mari.

Propose?

Yes. It's time for me to do it.

This would be good enough, won't it?

-How much was it?
-This? 50,000 dollars.

Come on, son. I told you to be frugal.

It's all an investment.

That isn't investment.

Anyway, a ring costs as much as a car?

I think it would be less than
what you lost trading stocks.

Did you know about that? Mom too?

If Mom knew, you wouldn't be here.

Even so, 50,000 dollars is too much.

Dad, if you want to get a woman like Mari,

you have to spend this much.

Didn't you say you wanted

to change Baek Law Firm
into Baek & Seo Law Firm?

You're all grown up, Minhyeok.

I think I'm still growing. Let's go.

-Do you think you can do it?
-Of course.

-I'm almost there.
-Good.

YEOJIN COFFEE HOUSE

Two months.

For two months.

Hey, Mr. Cheon.

LAWYER'S OFFICE, 2F

Where the heck did he go? Hmm.

Thank you.

Continue your conversation.

OFFICE MANAGER, SA MUJANG

CHIEF COUNSEL, CHEON JIHUN

Hey.

What are you doing right now?

You're here, Mr. Cheon Jihun.

I was just cleaning.

Why were you cleaning?

I can't work in a dirty environment.

Who's going to work
in a dirty environment?

I'd like to work
as a probationary employee here.

Did the GPS direct you correctly today?

You came by the same office again,
you know.

Didn't you say you couldn't
work in an office like this?

You were the one...

...who insulted my sacred office.

Coming here all of a sudden
and being like this is so…

awfully shameless.

Yes. I'm sorry about yesterday.

However, regardless of how sorry I am,
I am actually shameless.

Is there a problem?

This confidence. I like it very much.

Then, may I ask you
for a cup of coffee, Mari?

Thanks. Have a seat.

Mmm.

Hmm, nice aroma.

Ow, hot.

Mari, I'm curious of something.
Let me ask you.

-Yes?
-Why do you really want to work here?

Yes, well… You see.

Well?

-The truth is--
-You haven't been recruited

elsewhere as long as you
worked here temporarily, no?

Answer the question.

After I saw how you did your best
during the trial,

I wanted to learn from you.

That's why I came here to see you
even curbing my embarrassment.

Mmm.

But your face speaks otherwise.
Your lips are very tight.

-Hmm?
-Mmm...

Good. That's very good.
I really like that attitude.

But let me tell you why you cannot
work here as a probationary employee.

Didn't you say that I was a weird lawyer?

What kind of a lunatic lawyer
asks for a jury trial?

Didn't you say I lack dignity?

There are so many weird lawyers
that lack dignity.

Isn't there a certain level
of professional standard?

If you work for a lawyer
that is weird and undignified,

that's no good.

When did I say that?

Didn't you say that at court yesterday?

When did I say that?

That time.

Oh, my!

Welcome, Mari!

My goodness. You are so welcome here.

How did our office become so clean?

-Did you clean the office?
-Yes.

If this is what you did on your first day,

I can't wait to see
how things will change here.

You are so lucky, Mr. Cheon.

I'm so jealous.

Please look after me too, Ms. Baek.

Yes.

Mr. Sa. Are you the one who hires
the probationary employee?

No way.

You can't work here.

I'm going to work here.
I already cleaned the place up.

No.

I will.

Hmm?

Is it her?

It's her.

Did something happen to these guys?

How did it get so clean?

Gosh. They finally listened to me.

You're the lady from yesterday.
Did Mr. Cheon go somewhere?

Pardon? Well…

What?

Ａ moment ago, they were…

They were here,
but I don't know where they went now.

Ms. Cho!

Aah!

Long-time no see.

As the landlord, shouldn't you come down
to check on your tenants…

I think?

I didn't come here for the rent today,
so don't be so scared.

Do a good job of it.

Let's formally ask Mr. Cheon.

Okay.

-Do you think I'm scared?
-Humph.

If they had no pi nor gwang,
and I said "go" three times,

is the score multiplied by six or eight?

Why are you asking me…

Two times for no pi cards,

two times for no gwang cards,

and two times for saying "go" three times.

Is the score multiplied by six or eight?

STRAIGHTENS YOUR HAIR ALL AT ONCE

Hurry up and tell us.
Don't you know that as a lawyer?

I know. It was even in the bar exam.

Well, if you won with pi and gwang,
and they had none,

and you said "go" three times,

it would be six times…

You see? What did I tell you?

-It's six times.
-It's six times.

Mr. Cheon, can you take responsibility
for those words?

Or would it be eight times?

Why can't I remember this clearly?

Oh, that's it. Let's make it clear
by checking the law books.

Yes, let's make it clear.

Mr. Sa, can you get the law books?

Okay.

All right. Let's take a look.

Which article… was it?

Which article was it?

Yes, here it is.

Let me go ahead and read it.

"If you win with pi and gwang,
and the other party has none of them,

and you say 'go' three times,

it's six times in Gyeongsang Province,

but in other provinces, it's eight times."

Since we're in Seoul,
it's eight times more.

It's eight times.

Gosh, you see? I told you.

Look at it again.
See if it really says that. Come on.

He said it's eight times.

Open that page again. It wasn't there.

I didn't see it.

Geez.

Open it!

- You can't open it at once.
- Okay.

-Okay. Here it is.
-Here?

Geez, I don't know what it's saying.

Is this right? Are you sure?

Lawyers are total scumbags,
so how could I trust you?

I don't trust you.

-You don't?
-No.

Oh, right.

That person is a prosecutor.

Why don't you ask her to read it?
That would clear it up.

-Really? She's a prosecutor?
-Yes.

Read it for us to see if it's right,
prosecutor lady.

Ms. Baek.

Read it.

-Me?
-Yes.

Ah...

"If you win with pi and gwang,
and you said 'go' three times,

it's six times in Gyeongsang Province,

but in other provinces,

it's eight times."

Eight times. I was right, wasn't I?

Geez, my head hurts. It hurts so bad.

-Then, what about America? Whatever.
-See you.

Let's play again tomorrow.

Goodbye.

Did you see that, Ms. Cho?

That's why they say that it's always nice
to be acquainted with a lawyer.

You can count on me, Ms. Cho.

-Just count on me
-Count on me

Where on earth did you hear that?

No, we like him too. You like him too.

-Don't you?
-Of course, I do.

La-di-da-di-da

-Don't take the stairs
-Don't take the stairs

-Take the elevator
-Take the elevator

My goodness, you guys are insane.

Do you think I'll let you off the hook
because of this?

Move out.

Ms. Cho.

Move out!

Are you going to be like this?

Mr. Sa and I practiced that
for over a month!

Elevator

Come on!

It isn't working.

Did you see that?

Even if you work with us,
we may get evicted at any moment.

That's the current situation.

You won't get evicted within two months.

It'll take a few months for her
to execute that right.

If you pay our rent, I may reconsider it.

That is complete nonsense.
How embarrassing.

You can't work with us.

I'm going to work with you no matter what.

Gosh, I feel stiff.

Why do I have to do this every morning?

Hmm.

Why are there so many people?

THE LEGAL FEE IS ONLY 1,000 WON
OFFERING FREE LEGAL ADVICE

- What is all this?
- Hello.

Thank you.

Mr. Sa!

Hey, Ms. Baek. What is all this? Huh.

You surprised me yesterday and now this.

If you do this for us,
well, I'd be so thankful.

Hmm.

Then, shall we start together?

-Please help with this.
-Okay. Take care.

We'll contact you.

Did Mr. Cheon do all this work?

He can't do all of this.

Since you're here,
it'll help him out a little.

Of course. You can count on me.

Drink this while you work. It's yuzu tea.

I'm touched.

Next.

-You can hand it here.
-Okay.

Hello.

-Hello. Hi.
-Hello.

Hello, there. Good morning.

Yes, it's a good…

-Good morning.
-You look happy.

I'm fine.

Then, why does your face look like that?

Just quit if you don't want to work.
Plenty of people want your job.

This is so heavy.

-I'll carry it.
-Geez.

Are you going to be okay?

You aren't doing this
because I asked you, right?

I'm doing it because I like to do it.

Thanks, then.

I'm Cheon, Yeong, Bae.

Cheon Yeoungbae. Come on now.

It's all loaded.

Hang on. I'll call you later.

Thanks for that.

Hang on. Come over here.

This. What is this?
What will you do about this?

Well, it's unclear whether I did it--

What the heck?

Are you saying that I'm lying?

No, sir.

Hey, Mr. Kim Manbok.

Am I doing this because I need money?

-I'm Cheon Yeongbae.
-Yes, I know, President Cheon.

President? I'm an executive director.
I'll become president soon.

Yes, sir.

Come here.

I'm saying this to teach you a lesson

that you should be responsible
for your actions. Understood?

Darn it. I can never have a peaceful day.

You'd better do better, okay?

Yes, Mr. Lee. If you're nice to them,
they think it's their right.

Just teach them a lesson.

Gunwoo.

Grandpa!

Are you delivering my lunch, Gunwoo? Hmm?

Let's go.

-Let's go inside.
-Okay.

You jerk, aren't you old enough?

Gosh.

Isn't it comfortable?

Yes.

Doing it together did make it
go by more quickly.

All kinds of people come for advice.

That's why it's fun
even though it's tough.

Anyway, why did you come here, Ms. Baek?

I'm sure you could work anywhere.

I was curious.

I wondered what he was like.

CHIEF COUNSEL, CHEON JIHUN

Who is it?

Which jerk did that?

Mister.

Are you that jerk?

Yes, I think so.

But my name isn't "Jerk," it's Kim Gunwoo.

Kim Gunwoo, what brings you here?

Is the lawyer in?

He is.

May I see him?

You may,

but that lawyer is kind of expensive.

Do you have any money?

- Mr. Cheon is buying a popsicle?
- I know.

That's 1,000 won, Mr. Cheon.

What are you looking at? Pay her.

Oh, my.

Are you even mooching off a child now?

I'm not mooching off of him.

Gunwoo, I'm giving you a discount.
Don't forget that.

Thank you.

-What?
-I said, "Thank you."

What?

Thank you very much.

All right! You should say that loudly.

It's nice to hear that anytime.

-Look at him eating it up.
-It certainly doesn't make me feel bad.

He's unbelievable.

Okay, Gunwoo.
Why don't you tell me?

What did you say happened to your grandpa?

-You see, my grandpa was…
-Yes.

Some guy did something to my grandpa…

Hey, isn't that Jihun?

Hey, Jihun. Hop in.

I'm glad you're here.
We have somewhere to go.

-Let's go, Gunwoo.
-Okay.

- Okay. Let's go.
- Here we go.

Go!

Who…

I'm Cheon Jihun, attorney-at-law.

Pardon?

Are you Gunwoo's grandfather?
He told me everything.

Ah! My goodness.
It's nothing. Please leave.

I'll get in trouble. It was my fault.

-But I can help you--
-No, please leave.

Sorry. I'm sorry.

What's wrong with him?
Mr. Cheon wants to help.

Who would hire a guard
who sues a tenant?

It might be hard for him
to work here afterwards.

But he'd have to spend
two to three months of his salary.

From what I heard, there was
no proof that he scratched the car.

I understand how you feel,
but I'd like to help you.

It's all right.

What the heck?

Whoa!

What's wrong with this guy?

That's him.

Geez. Check out this guy.

Can't anyone do anything legally
when someone parks like that?

No, he isn't blocking the road
and a parking lot is private property.

Sadly, there isn't anything
you can do legally about that yet.

Hey, I was having a hard time
hitting the ball today.

It's driving me nuts.

Hey, Mr. Kim Manbok.

Yes, sir!

Yes, I need to take lessons
from Mr. Kim again.

Yes, he was amazing.

Let's go together next week. Sure.

Sir, you didn't park your car properly.

I need to go.

-What?
-You did a lousy job of parking your car.

Sir, I've always been curious.

Do people park the car like this
because they aren't good at driving?

Or, be honest with me,

they don't park like this on purpose,
do they?

Yes, I did it on purpose.

If you knew, why'd you ask?

Aah. You did it… on purpose.

Then, this is what I should do.

Hey, wacko. What are you doing?

I'm going to post these
on my social media right now.

Then you're…

Hey, you'd better delete those.

Delete those.
Give me your phone.

No. It's my cell phone. I don't want

to. You wacko. Hey, do you live here?

Oh, I'm sorry.

I haven't introduced myself.

I'm Cheon Jihun, attorney-at-law.
Here is my business card.

An attorney?

-For real?
-Yes, I am.

You claimed that my client
scratched your car, so I came to see you.

Gosh, this is interesting, isn't it?

So…

he doesn't have money to fix my car,

but he has money to hire a lawyer?

No, sir. Please leave.

-Well.
-Please leave.

Grandpa.

-Go over there. Right now!
-Grandpa.

This lawyer said he'd help you.

He said that he'd teach a lesson
to the man who bullies you.

Hey, you little brat.

Darn. What is going on right now?

So, you're saying he scratched it
from here to here?

As you can see.

What the heck are you doing? That's gross.

No, it isn't.

I'm just trying to establish
the exact size of the damage.

Hmm.

Hey. What the heck?

One moment.

What the heck?

Hey.

Why you…

Gosh, it's done.

Hey. What did you do?

-You can hardly see it.
-You bastard. Hey, are you joking?

What are you doing? Let go of me!

Let go of him!

Let go of him right now!

-Who are you?
-Me?

I'm Attorney Cheon Jihun's office manager.

-So what?
-So?

-Just manage his office.
-All right.

Jeez.

Who the heck are you, Blue?

-Look.
-What?

Aren't you the one who started it?

What proof do you have
that this man did this?

Proof? My eyes are proof.

-Your eyes are proof.
-Yes.

-All right. Look at this.
-Okay, I will look.

See? I'm looking.

Why'd do you that?

Why you jerk. I ought to…
I ought to poke those eyes out!

Do you know any martial arts?

Don't mess with me, damn it!

With one phone call,
I can lock you all up!

Forget about that.
Let's see what exactly happened that day.

So, you're saying,

you went this way like this, right?

-You pushed it to the side.
-Yes, since they're expensive cars.

Are you kidding me?

Hey, how can the car get scratched
if you push it like that?

Do you think I'm an idiot, bastard?

He went straight, okay?

Straight?

Get it?

So, go straight? Go straight.

Yes. Are you finally getting
what I'm saying?

Straight towards the car.

Got it.

Are you kidding? Hey, go faster.

Faster towards the car.

- Yes, you should go faster.
- Faster.

Faster, faster, faster.

You…

crazy scumbag!

-You crazy scumbag.
-Look.

Your bumper got wrecked.

Why did you tell me to go faster?

You total wacko!

Hey, wait.

-Where did it go?
-What?

The spot where Gunwoo's grandpa scratched
has completely disappeared.

Are you kidding me?

What are you going to do about my car?

Today is your funeral. You're dead!

Wait.

What?

From now, this is a new case,

so it has nothing to do
with Gunwoo or his grandfather.

You may speak to my lawyer from now on.

What did you say?

Didn't you say that you're a lawyer?

I am a lawyer,

but I'd like to leave it
to another lawyer.

What the heck are you saying?

If you solve this, you can work with us.

What?

Mr. Cheon.

Wait, Mr. Cheon.

Wait.

Excuse me!

Hey, jerk!

ONE DOLLAR LAWYER

A temper? A lawyer
shouldn't get so worked up like that.

I hear they think
differently from people like us.

Instead of thinking
that a lawyer must use the law…

The law is far, but the fist is near!

Mr. Cheon says that
a lawyer fights in their client's stead.

Tell me if you can't. I can do it instead.

I can fight too. I'll do it.

You'll find out
how amazing my lawyer is.
