Prosecution.

Will you proceed?

(Is a sheath truly unnecessary...)

(for a knife called justice?)

Defense attorney, are you going to proceed?

Defense attorney?

No.

That'll be all, Your Honor.

The defense attorney has given his closing statement,

so the trial will be closed now.

The defendant is the winner of this mock trial.

Court dismissed.

Go Yeon Woo.

I expected a lot from you,

but you're way too naive...

and even weak.

Will you be all right?

Don't worry.

I'll figure something out.

Thanks for coming today.

Don't mention it.

But Yeon Woo, why did you do that?

- Do what? - Toward the end...

Never mind.

Yeon Woo, you're a nice guy. Of course, you'd do that.

You should go back.

What? Yes.

You can buy me food next time.

It was a mock trial.

What can you prove by going so far as to hurting another person...

- in a fake trial? - No.

You just proved it yourself to all the partners here, including me,

that you are not competent or qualified enough...

to be a part of Kang and Ham.

What are the competency and qualifications that...

both Kang and Ham and you're looking for?

Is it if the rich and the powerful... No.

Is it that if anyone's willing to pay a lot,

you'll have to take any case and win no matter who the client is...

and no matter what they did,

by putting on a different mask for every single case?

And to become an ace like you are?

I never asked you or wanted you to become like me.

You can't be like me even if you wished.

You're right.

However,

but I'd rather be a lawyer who can protect someone in their life,

instead of a competent lawyer who is willing to sacrifice anyone to win.

I agree that I am a very competent lawyer,

but your big talk about protecting someone with your value and justice?

- I don't buy that. - Why not?

Because I'm a fake and a con man?

No. It doesn't matter if you're a fake one or a real one.

If you let your emotions get the best of you every time,

you won't be able to protect anyone.

If you don't feel confident, do not draw your sword to begin with.

But if you've drawn your sword, you need to cut them down at once.

You need to do either one of the two.

You still don't understand...

how to make a good decision and a right choice.

How can you protect anyone?

Ms. Kim.

There was...

There was a reason.

I'm sorry.

I was just so focused on winning.

I'm not talking about you.

I'm talking about myself.

Now that I got humiliated in front of all those people,

I was worried about how they'd react tomorrow. Actually,

how am I even going to go to the company dinner tonight?

Will I be able to go? Is it even right for me to go?

But if I don't go, people will think strangely of me.

There were so many thoughts in my head.

Then I started thinking, "What's wrong with me?"

"Was Mr. Go right about me..."

"when he said I have a lot of anger piled up inside me?"

So I started thinking,

"I guess he's right. I guess that's the kind of person I am."

Then I started thinking, "No."

"That's not what it is."

The truth was...

that I was bothered by you.

I'm bothered by you,

Mr. Go.

I'm not sure why, but I can't help it.

That's why I'm always so angry.

I can't help but be bothered by you.

I know it's all my fault.

I get that you had a point with what you said about me.

But it was a secret between us two.

Did you tell your friend...

about my rabbit story?

No, it just came out by coincidence.

Coincidence?

I guess you really are a genius.

Well...

I guess you're right.

I don't know how I ended up becoming a genius...

who has a knack for upsetting you.

If it really came out by coincidence,

you should've fought until the end.

Why did you quit in the middle?

No.

It's probably because you have a very big heart.

But whatever the reason was, the truth is...

that we both ruined the trial...

by acting upon our emotions.

No, that's not it.

(Mom)

The winner has come to seize his trophy.

Three days.

- A week. - Three days.

- Five days. - A day.

A day?

Are you that unsure?

Isn't an hour enough to convince her to work for you?

Fine, give me three days.

But whatever the reason was, the truth is...

that we both ruined the trial by acting upon our emotions.

Yeon Woo, you're emotionless starting from today.

Also, get rid of your lame sense of justice.

Why isn't the lady asking you to pay?

I never even get a discount.

Is your definition of justice...

trying to get a discount from a street vendor?

Don't you think you're being a bit too emotional?

I left all my emotions at home today.

I learned that if yesterday's trial was real,

I would've only ended up hurting...

both my client and the opponent's client.

If you finally realized that, show me results...

instead of just talking about it.

Do you know that you tend to hold a huge grudge?

A grudge?

I'm very fussy even when it comes to choosing a bottle of whiskey.

The fragrance that lingers on the tip of my nose.

The taste of whiskey that soaks my tongue.

And how smoothly it goes down my throat.

But there's one thing that I'm even more fussy about.

Don't tell me that it's not to hold a grudge.

Of course.

Both whiskeys and trials should never leave behind a bitter taste.

Mr. Oh.

It's been so long, Kang Seok.

I can't believe I ran into you here.

I know. It's been so long, Chief Prosecutor Oh.

No, wait. You're the deputy chief prosecutor now.

Say hello.

He's Oh Byeong Wook, the deputy chief prosecutor...

of Seoul Central District Court.

Hello, my name is Go Yeon Woo.

Are you Prosecutor Choi's mentee?

Prosecutor Choi?

Didn't he tell you about his days as a prosecutor?

He used to be really good.

He barely let anyone win a case.

- Then are you saying... - "Never take a case to trial."

"Of course, that is if you're not confident of winning."

It's been a while since we've met, so let's drink coffee...

No, wait.

What are you doing tonight? Cancel all your appointments.

And tell Ms. Kang that you're going to see me.

Let's have dinner together.

You're my best mentee ever.

I'll text you the time and place.

I'll see you later.

Why the long face?

You seem really uncomfortable.

Of course.

Do you know what your best result just cost me?

Don't tell me that you planned this.

You didn't know, right?

Of course, I didn't know.

Who would've thought that he'd lose a mock trial?

No, I mean did you really not know that Mr. Chae would want me...

as his secretary if he won?

Well, that's...

No, I know you already knew.

What else would Mr. Chae want from you...

other than me?

So what are you going to do?

Just stay next to him for three days.

You want me to stay next to him?

No, that's not what I mean.

Just let him have some fun for three days.

My gosh, you want me to stay by his side and entertain him?

What else would you call this other than selling me away?

At least Shim Cheong got paid for being sold. This is...

You're an actress.

Just think of this as acting and put up with him for three days.

Then I'll put everything back to normal.

Acting?

If that's what this is, then I guess I have no choice.

But what's the title of this movie?

I don't know.

"King Kong"?

He sure is a King Kong.

That means...

I'm the poor heroine sitting on its palm.

Don't do that. That's mine.

Yes, stick to that.

All right then.

I'll tell you about the secretary work policy.

- First... - First,

I'm not Attorney Choi's property.

Second, even if I'm his subordinate,

I'm shocked by your impersonal, repressive, and illegal behavior...

toward women.

I'll report to Ms. Kang,

and to the bar association.

Wait, Ms. Hong.

You're mistaken. It's not like that. It's just...

Even though...

it's a non-sensical verbal contract,

for the sake of Kang and Ham's honor,

I can consent to a certain degree.

For instance, just for today.

- Is that... - Yes.

VIP seats for Mariinsky Ballet performance.

Suddenly, I'm reminded of the performance I saw...

for the first time at the Mariinsky Theatre...

in Saint Petersburg on the last day of October, 2008.

I can't forget that moment because...

Because you probably saw it alone.

Deal. On what condition?

After the show,

have a glass of vodka and caviar with me...

at a fancy bar.

- Vodka? - Yes.

You can't even drink.

I'll have carbonated water, of course.

If you insist, I can have a glass...

Never mind. I say yes to the show, but no to a meal.

That's it.

Okay.

But...

you must follow the dress code.

Director Bang Chu Sung?

Yes.

He worked with me at Namyoung for 15 years.

But recently...

We found out that his college diploma was fake.

Fake? What do you mean?

He forged his academic background.

Everyone thought he graduated from an elite university.

But he dropped out.

If your clients find out,

it'll be a huge blow to your firm.

What should I do?

Well...

Offer him a big severance pay...

and quietly advise him to resign.

Could you do that?

You said you had to go home early last night.

Were you with the probationary associate?

Pardon?

What do you mean?

Well, someone saw you with him.

He must've saw it wrong.

He's so strange.

He always shows up...

when we're talking about him.

I thought you quit, Mr. Go Yeon Woo.

Never.

So don't make up any rumors.

What?

I thought you'd realize your place...

after being humiliated, but you're still the same.

If I were you, I'd be so embarrassed to stay here.

Well, you might be different.

Never mind him.

Pardon?

Okay. Sure.

Did you go home okay last night?

Of course.

Is there something you want to say?

- Well... - If there isn't anything...

Did you know Attorney Choi used to be a prosecutor?

Gosh, you have a fat paycheck.

(Payslip)

I'm sure it's nothing compared to yours.

(Attorney Choi Kang Seok)

You're right.

There's nothing about that on the company website.

Isn't it strange?

We bumped into Deputy Chief Prosecutor Oh Byeong Wook earlier.

He said he basically raised Attorney Choi.

By the way, why did you talk back to Attorney Seo?

I wouldn't have if he was only talking about me.

But he was putting you on the spot too.

Because of me.

If you're trying to protect me...

because of what happened yesterday, don't do that.

I have pride too.

No, I wasn't trying to protect you and it wasn't because of yesterday.

Like you said,

I can't let my emotions get in the way of work.

(Search)

(Choi Kang Seok)

It's clearly shown on the attorney database.

Can you screenshot that?

- Why? - I want to use it for blackmail.

Here.

Anyway.

It's on the attorney database,

but why didn't he put it on the company website?

I'm not sure.

Maybe there is something he wants to hide...

about his prosecutor years.

Prosecutor? What about that?

There are a lot of former prosecutors.

Right.

And most people think proudly of that.

But why...

Why do you want to know?

No, who told you?

Deputy Chief Prosecutor Oh Byeong Wook.

I guess there's a dark history to his prosecutor days.

There's nothing, so mind your own business.

Don't you say anything stupid to him and let him get you.

Is it okay for you to be here?

I talked to Attorney Chae and negotiated on conditions.

I'm sure you knew...

that even if you sold me,

I wouldn't let myself be sold.

What does that mean?

Who sold you?

You don't need to know. Come in.

Namyoung Accounting Firm.

That's where our firm gets accounting consultation.

Also, they are our client who get legal advice from us.

Anyway,

are you sure you left your emotions at home?

Of course.

Is that right?

This will be a perfect work to test you on that then.

Director Bang Chu Sung needs to be fired.

Review and compare...

his employment contract with Namyoung company policy.

Find reasons to fire him.

Fire him?

What did he do wrong?

Embezzlement? Accounting fraud?

No.

He has a great track record as a director.

Exactly.

He forged his academic background.

You don't need to put yourself in his shoes.

It won't happen to you.

How can you guarantee that?

What if Ms. Kang finds out? No.

What if anybody finds out?

Find out about what?

I just found out he has never been in a relationship.

I doubt that.

Even during the mock trial, he showed his feelings...

for the other party's client.

You aren't trying to...

have the probationary associate take the Namyoung case, are you?

If the reason for dismissal was clear,

they didn't have to come to us.

The case isn't big enough for me either.

Is there a reason I can't let him take it?

The mock trial?

That?

You can't expect him to be like me.

Perhaps, I shouldn't have...

expected you to have a keen eye like me.

We'll see once the game is over.

Director Bang is a veteran with years of experience...

working at an accounting firm.

Then you'll know better.

I'm proving to you that I have a keen eye as well.

I'm not sure...

if yours is as keen as mine.

(Namyoung Accounting Firm)

(Employee Information)

Hi, is this Director Bang Chu Sung of Namyoung Accounting Firm?

Well, I think I need to meet with you.

Okay, see you then.

What did Namyoung ask Kang Seok to do?

Are you asking me that?

Is there...

anyone else here other than you?

I didn't know I was human. I thought I was just a bull.

Exactly.

Now that I destroyed your reputation in the company,

I thought you'd come to a realization...

that you don't belong here and that you're not qualified.

I thought you'd voluntarily quit after getting beaten up like that.

But seeing that you're still here, I guess I was mistaken.

Of course. And to meet up to your misunderstanding,

I'm going to do my best to keep my position.

Okay.

Just don't forget that I have a lot of other ways...

to show you that you don't belong here.

Mr. Chae.

Why do you hate me so much?

What?

Didn't I tell you?

I'm very much interested in you.

But what's important is that my interest toward you...

isn't a simple factor of whether I like you or not.

The fact is, I'm actually interested in you because I utterly hate you.

Exactly. I just want to know why you hate me so much.

Because you're fake.

Have you ever seen a bullfighter...

refuse to stab a bull just because he feels sorry for him?

A real attorney would never get swayed by such worthless emotions.

- That's... - They say you're a genius.

And people got fooled by Kang Seok's bluff.

But I knew from the beginning...

that you had no right to become a bullfighter...

at Kang and Ham.

But what I'm really interested in is...

why Kang Seok hired a guy like you as an associate.

Okay, I get what you mean.

But you're standing here asking a bleeding bull...

where he'd like to get stabbed during the next round.

So are you sure that you're qualified to be a bullfighter?

I'm asking you to stop paying interest in me...

when it's actually Mr. Choi that you're interested in.

Are you Mr. Bang?

You're not Attorney Choi.

Pardon?

My name is Go Yeon Woo, and I'm his associate.

Let's sit down.

Mr. Go Yeon Woo?

That's right.

That's weird.

I never saw your name on the list of Kang and Ham's associates.

Pardon?

I actually have a small talent.

I may not be good at anything else,

but I'm really good with numbers.

I know the employee ID number,

income, and tax issues of every single employee that works...

for the firm that I've worked with as a financial advisor...

including Kang and Ham.

Oh, well the thing is,

I'm still a probationary associate, and I only just started working.

Oh, I see.

Anyway, it's nice to meet you.

- Are you here for Mr. Choi's tax... - No, that's not it.

I didn't ask you to meet today because of Mr. Choi.

I'm here because of you.

What do you mean?

From this moment on, I need to find a way to fire you.

What do you mean?

For what reason?

Is there a reason why Yeon Woo shouldn't get fired?

He's on probation, but he doesn't act that way.

That in itself is already a sin. He's an eyesore.

An eyesore.

I like that.

Now that we know what he's guilty of,

we'll just need evidence to back it up.

Evidence?

There's not a single person...

who doesn't have a secret up his or her sleeve.

Then...

I'll do my best to find evidence.

I know that I'm completely at fault for lying on my resume,

but I never once caused a single problem until now.

And for the past 15 years,

I stayed loyal to Namyoung Accounting Firm. So how could...

I completely understand how you're feeling right now.

Do you?

I sacrificed my life for 15 years for the benefit of my company.

But they're throwing me out...

like I'm garbage. Do you really understand how I feel?

Then why did you cross the line?

You didn't have to make a forged diploma.

What do you mean?

(Diploma of Graduation)

What's this?

I've never seen this in my life.

Pardon?

You said you'll do your best,

but you got emotional and messed things up again.

Who told you to meet up with him without my permission?

I'm sorry about that.

But there was more to it than just a forged academic background.

So that's what it's about.

I told you not to care so much since it has nothing to do with you.

It's already been decided.

This decision might end up ruining...

his entire life and his family's future.

Shouldn't we be more careful about this?

It's true that he lied on his resume,

but there was never a problem for the past 15 years.

He never even made a fake diploma.

Do you have evidence?

Then are you saying you believed every word...

of a guy who's hanging from a cliff?

You think we need to be more careful? Don't kid yourself.

You just saw a reflection of yourself through him.

I told you not to involve your personal issues with work.

Give me the documents and ask Mr. Bang to come here tomorrow.

I'll handle it from here.

I'm not the one who's being swayed by my emotions.

It's you.

- What? - I'll give you the documents.

But you won't be able to handle it on your own.

I worked really hard...

because I had to show results instead of just saying I'll do well.

Thanks to that, Mr. Bang agreed that he won't say a word...

to anyone if I'm not present.

I'll find...

the evidence no matter what.

My gosh, look who's here. Hey, Kang Seok.

No, wait. I should call you Attorney Choi.

Prosecutor An?

Look at you.

I guess it's because you're the best attorney of a really big firm.

You look really refined.

What you're seeing is dignity, and one needs to be born with this.

I was no different back when I used to work as a prosecutor.

No. Back when you used to work as a competent prosecutor,

you used to be really naive. You can't compare yourself to back then.

Kang Seok, treat me to lunch one day.

Let's talk about how passionate we used to be back then.

We just met again after years, and you want me to treat you to lunch?

Yes.

That's enough of your lousy acting.

Just get to the point. What do you want?

I'm currently working on a case to prove...

that Deputy Chief Prosecutor Oh's guilty of getting rid of evidence.

I'm working for Prosecutor Jo...

in the Special Prosecution Team.

You're after the wrong guy.

You should be going after Deputy Chief Prosecutor Oh's connections.

Why are you asking me for help when I quit 10 years ago?

He's the deputy chief prosecutor of Seoul Central District Court.

Who would want to talk about their boss?

He used to be my boss as well.

What makes you think I'd be different?

Of course, you're different.

I know why you stopped working for him.

Even I don't know why, but you think you do?

I guess you're trying to prove that the world has changed,

but don't waste your energy too much.

Attorney Choi.

If I can't even have lunch with the guy I respect,

that means you'll just have to get summoned as a testifier.

You may start off as a testifier,

but you might end up becoming a suspect.

Are you threatening me?

But that doesn't scare me at all.

I'm sorry I made you waste your time.

No. I actually gained a lot from this coincidental meeting.

Enjoy your dinner and say hello to Deputy Chief Prosecutor Oh for me.

(Namyoung Accounting Firm)

The reason for his dismissal is forgery of his academic background.

And they found out about that by doing a background investigation.

Background investigation?

Let's try calling Namyoung's HR.

I'm sorry, but I cannot pick up your call at the moment.

Please leave a message...

[VIU Ver] KBS2 E07 Suits
"Is a Sheath Truly Unnecessary for a Knife Called Justice?"
-♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

(Real-time News)

("Special Prosecution, Investigating Deputy Chief Prosecutor Oh")

("Oh Byeong Wook, Who Claimed to Always Work for Justice...")

First off, tell me why you faked a coincidence to come talk to me.

Was it that obvious?

As I got older, I became sly, but I'm losing my wits.

Right before I came in, I just met Prosecutor An Seok Hee...

of the special prosecution.

It's an event that they always hold,

and after time passed by, so it just became my turn now.

I told you that you'll pay for it one day,

and that day has come.

Kang Seok. I mean, Mr. Choi.

They're trying to cause a distraction.

If things go as they pictured,

the judicial justice which we worked hard to build up...

will go down at once.

Of course, it'll be bad for me,

but it won't do you any good either.

So this is a threat.

I'm not threatening you. I'm asking for your cooperation.

There are wicked people, there are those who are born wicked,

those who became wicked because of their good family,

and those who turned wicked because of bad family.

All we have done is show justice with the knife in our hands...

to those wicked men without any exceptions.

Did we really have no exceptions?

Yes, I understand your resentment. I do understand.

But don't deny the justice we brought because of that.

Mistakes are mistakes. But give credit where it's due.

Look, all I have gained is...

That title you have in front of your name.

Deputy Chief Prosecutor Oh.

You're right. They're holding me in check because that name...

continued to shine brightly and grow bigger.

We're all here trying to hold down legal justice.

There are no sides to take.

Of course, there are a few of those who freeze up at a sharp knife,

then melt down easily with a soft breath.

You must eliminate your desires,

but that's not easy.

Have a drink.

I'm still on duty.

When the wind blows, just let the wind take you...

No, forget it.

When the storm comes, we're more likely to get broken.

We aren't the types...

who would dance along with the wind.

That's why I chose you.

You chose me?

Come and work for me.

The moment you empty that, you'll become mine.

From that moment,

I'll turn you into a real butcher...

who doesn't need to put his knife back into the sheath...

because people are shaking you from this side and that side,

when you take the knife out to slay the wicked.

I'll turn you into a real prosecutor.

They don't even know what justice is,

but they always talk about what a real prosecutor should be.

That's how that side is.

We have to change the legal system. There's no use in changing people.

No.

To change the legal system,

we must change the person who used the knife in a wrong way.

We're all here trying to hold down legal justice.

There are no sides to take.

So you're saying...

that you won't take my drink.

I'm telling you to admit to what you've done...

and come to a deal with the special prosecution.

If you take this to trial,

the evidence will be found somewhere.

This is...

what you've always told me.

Yes, I did.

I know that very well, so I patched it up very well.

There is no evidence.

What you expected to hear from me was...

nothing of this sort,

but you're wondering which side I'll take.

I did decide to leave you,

but I won't walk over myself to accuse you in my own words.

Okay. That's all I need.

However,

this doesn't mean that I will perjure myself...

if I end up standing at a court as a witness.

That's not how I do things in the first place,

but it's also not good for you,

whom I once thought was...

a real butcher, a real prosecutor.

And for the drink.

I shouldn't have taken the drink 12 years ago...

when you asked me to come work for you.

- The wicked... - Will be caught one day.

- And the evidence? - Will be found somewhere.

Bottoms up!

I love you, Kang Seok.

Thank you.

Kang Seok.

Yes?

I love you.

Thank you.

You're my kid.

Salute.

I'll take care of you until the day you die.

I love you.

Salute.

Kang Seok, you became a good drinker.

There's my kid. One second.

Grab a cab.

Goodness, I have money.

Just take it when I give it to you.

Tomorrow's trial is important, so get a good sleep.

Yes.

Kang Seok.

Yes?

I...

I will...

Tomorrow at the trial...

Never mind.

You just have to put your trust in me.

Let's go.

Do you trust me?

Of course.

Okay.

You're my kid. You have to trust me.

(Mom)

(Mom)

It's me.

Sorry, I'm working overtime today.

You should've called me sooner.

Here's your food.

Thank you.

Goodbye.

What are you up to?

Are you really looking for something to threaten Mr. Choi with?

No, it's nothing.

I'm working overtime too.

It doesn't mean anything.

I just didn't want to eat alone.

I don't care what you mean,

but I hope you work overtime often.

I was about to go out and get dinner.

Thank you.

I know.

Have you seen that article?

What?

About Deputy Chief Prosecutor Oh of Seoul Prosecution.

It's really hard to tell...

between what's real and what's fake.

Unbelievable.

Chae Geun Sik, you jerk. I'll get you when I see you.

Tonight,

you are the most beautiful person in this place.

You are so beautiful.

Of course.

But to me, you are so...

Don't do it.

Sometimes, when I'm waiting for you,

I forget about myself.

Follow me. We made an agreement,

so I'll watch the show with you.

This isn't what I expected.

Did you sleep here?

What?

What time is it?

It's 8:50.

I'm late.

No, am I early?

Goodness.

I'll pay you back for the food last night and this coffee.

Who are you?

A third party can't inquire about a background check.

I'm with Kang and Ham Law Firm.

So?

I guess you didn't get the message.

CEO Shim Young Joo of Namyoung Accounting Firm...

asked us to take care of some problem.

She said you'd fully cooperate.

What?

But this is such a sensitive problem.

I told you I came here...

to take care of the problem.

Please wait a minute.

That's okay. It's not necessary.

I'll call CEO Shim myself.

What's your name?

(Personnel Appointment Notice)

(Urgent Announcement)

(Dismissal: Manager Jeong Yi Joon)

(Reason for dismissal: Embezzlement and dereliction of duty)

Could you print one more thing out for me?

A probationary associate is paid basic salary.

But there is no record of salary payment.

He's working, but not getting paid.

That's right.

He's an elite university alumnus, but has no qualifications.

There's the thread of connection.

How was your dinner with Prosecutor Oh?

You knew.

The special prosecution just summoned you.

What will you do?

What would you do?

If I were you, I'd tell them everything.

I wouldn't leave out anything and tell them everything.

One must pay for his crime.

I'll teach him that lesson.

I'll come home happily...

and pop the champagne I've been saving.

I'll enjoy my champagne...

and fall sound asleep.

Why would you say that?

Because it's something that must be done.

Did you already forget...

why you left that place? That man...

- Ms. Hong. - No.

I'm able to work with you...

because you didn't go to the end with that man.

Good morning.

This is the background check on Director Bang...

Well...

Should I come back later?

No, we're done here.

I guess your dinners weren't that pleasant.

It's none of your business.

Well,

I think it just might be my business.

What do you mean?

Deputy Chief Prosecutor Oh Byeong Wook.

He's under investigation...

for destruction of evidence.

So what does it have to do with...

Your past is your problem to solve.

But if it has to do something with you now,

then I could be affected.

Case number 2008GH1026.

Gu Seong Tae hit-and-run case.

That's the last trial you had as a prosecutor.

He was found not guilty for lack of evidence.

The stenographic records show that...

Why do you keep doing things I didn't tell you to do?

Why did Prosecutor Oh choose you,

and why did you leave him?

I got curious.

So why do you want to know?

Perhaps I can find out why you chose me.

I might have to leave this firm or you someday.

Before I get fired like Director Bang.

Excuse me.

Director Bang of Namyoung Accounting Firm is here.

Should I bring him to the office?

No, take him to the meeting room.

Okay.

Don't say anything and just sit there.

(Dismissal Compensation Agreement)

It's dismissal compensation,

but if you take it quietly and leave,

it'll be more than your severance pay.

More than my severance pay?

This isn't about money.

I can't accept it.

You admitted to forging your academic background.

You can be charged for fraud.

I never made a fake diploma.

If you keep telling lies and making excuses...

He isn't lying. His diploma...

was sent in to the HR last week.

If he was going to lie, he would've made one 15 years ago.

What's more important is that...

they already knew...

that he dropped out of college seven years ago.

They checked his background when he was promoted to director.

Seven years ago? Who checked his background?

CEO Shim Young Joo did it herself.

What? Seven years ago?

Are you sure?

- Is this the original copy? - Yes.

Then why only now...

Last month, your subordinate, Manager Jeong,

was fired first.

Manager Jeong Yi Joon, right?

- Yes. - Why you...

Please let me finish.

What was the reason for his dismissal?

Manager Jeong came to me saying that something was strange...

about the settlement of accounts.

I believe the company had extra income...

that was not normal.

What do you mean?

Money was received from a few paper companies...

under unknown names.

(Daesung Communications)

By paper company,

you mean Daesung Communications. Am I right?

Yes. I reported it to the CEO.

She said the paper company had nothing to do with our firm...

and said Manager Jeong embezzled company funds.

That's why she fired...

Director Bang.

So they're trying to fire me...

because they're afraid that I'd leak the secret.

Dismissal compensation? Severance pay?

I can't take that.

Mr. Bang.

I'll bring him back.

No.

You've ruined everything enough.

Do you want to do more damage?

Protect who?

Was this the kind of lawyer you wanted to be?

So,

you just let Director Bang go?

Should I have broken his leg and made him stay?

That's not my style.

What about the background check?

That's confidential document.

No one is allowed to see it, not even Director Bang.

How did that probationary associate acquire that?

You should ask why, not how.

At Kang and Ham and Namyoung, we both cross the line at times...

when we need to get things done perfectly.

You wouldn't want to fire him without evidence, right?

CEO Shim is right.

That document shouldn't have been seen by Director Bang,

and especially by a probationary associate.

It was our mistake...

to try to take care of things perfectly.

Anyway, you already knew about it seven years ago.

I wonder why you're making it a problem now.

I found out only a week ago.

Then who ran the background check seven years ago?

HR does that regularly.

So HR has been hiding Director Bang's background...

from you for seven years.

Attorney Choi.

What is your intention for doing this to me?

I just have doubts and suspicion.

Is there another reason why you need to fire Director Bang?

That's funny.

What do you mean by that?

He doesn't mean anything.

I forced him to take care of it quickly.

He's just saying that he's going to check...

every little detail so that he wouldn't miss anything.

All that he missed is...

the fact that Director Bang didn't sign...

the letter of resignation,

and that there's a confidentiality agreement within it.

If Director Bang opens his mouth...

and starts spewing nonsense...

He won't say a word.

Mr. Choi is going to find him soon enough...

to get him to sign those papers.

Forget it. You said you understood me.

You said you'll protect me if I tell you everything.

I'm not going to just sit by and let them do this to me.

What will you do? Get a lawyer?

Of course.

I have nothing to lose now. I'm going to fight until the end.

Just the fact that you forged your education background...

puts you on the losing side.

It's obvious that you'll be counterattacked.

Why would I be?

Over the 15 years, you took care of income and taxes...

for 1,324 people companywide...

and for 382 people personally.

And you've conducted a total of 27 corporate account evaluation.

How do you remember...

I told you that I understand how you feel.

Just consider me as someone who's as talented as you are.

What's important is...

that they'll question everything you've done at Namyoung,

and they will make you pay for the damage.

In the worst case, you might be imprisoned.

But CEO Shim has committed a bigger crime than I did.

I know that's what the circumstances say,

but we don't have any hard evidence.

Then what do you suggest that I do?

I'll try to find a way,

but I can't guarantee anything.

So think of the worst case scenario,

and sign the papers for now as insurance.

It's been 5 years, 2 months, and 12 days...

since I've taken up Kang and Ham's accounts.

I've never seen a trainee...

who doesn't even get paid the minimum wage, so I searched...

for your name.

But what's missing wasn't just your payroll.

It was the name Go Yeon Woo.

What...

Give me the resignation paper.

I'll trust what you said about understanding how I feel.

It looks like we don't just share the same talent,

but the same weakness as well.

What do you mean?

(Resignation Paper)

I mean that I think you might be my insurance,

not some mere sum of money.

When you draw a sword without a thought, you can't protect anyone.

You might end up...

slaying you and me, or even worse, the entire Kang and Ham.

I got him to sign the resignation.

I thought you were always just sentimental.

I guess you actually work at times.

I've been working all the time.

I just sometimes wonder...

if this work that I'm doing is something that actually fits me.

I wasn't being sentimental.

Well, now that you proved how you left your emotions at home,

do you want me to compliment you?

No.

It's actually the opposite. You should curse at me.

You were right.

I realized that I can't protect anyone...

by talking about justice and values.

So I'm very angry right now.

We can't deny that...

what Director Bang has done is wrong.

The justice you want isn't...

something that protects someone who committed a crime.

That's what I want to say to you.

I know why you left Prosecutor Oh.

Your last trial from 10 years ago.

I read the stenographic record from the beginning to the end.

Everything about that trial is now...

all in here.

Prosecution. Will you proceed?

You said you had the security footage as evidence.

Don't you have it?

Kang Seok.

I...

I will...

Tomorrow at the trial...

Goodness.

Never mind.

You just have to put your trust in me.

I apologize, Your Honor.

I believe the prosecution was mistaken about something.

Prosecutor Oh destroyed evidence...

behind your back, didn't he?

You hated that.

You couldn't accept something that was wrong.

That's why you left.

Then why?

Why? Are you asking why I gave you a chance if I hated that?

No.

This isn't my chance. It's yours.

- What? - Prosecutor Oh committed a crime.

Why do you want to protect someone like him?

If you are not swayed by your emotions,

I'm asking if this isn't the time to draw your sword...

which you've put deep into your sheath.

(Suits "Korea")

Are you going to bear witness?

I won't sell off my mentor...

just because someone is pointing their gun to my head.

That means you won't bear witness.

Ms. Kang has her eyes on you.

To be exact, they had over 127 paper companies.

How is that possible?

We can't protect him knowing the kind of a man he is.

You should decide, Ms. Kang.

Is your education and license...

all fake like that man?

Go Yeon Woo. You're fired.
