ONE DOLLAR LAWYER

What is Mr. Cheon like?

Tell me how he was as a prosecutor.

We're from Seoul Central
District Prosecutors' Office.

-You're a little too late.
-You're bolder than I thought.

Mr. Choi Kitae, you're under arrest
for destroying evidence.

You guys are all dead
with this one phone call.

Hey, you jerk!

How dare you go there?

You'll go far if you listen to your boss.

We'll have to release him immediately
as he said.

I think you should
become famous, Minhyeok.

"Third Generation Chaebol and a Prosecutor
Stand Together on the Red Carpet."

Why would you stand there, you jerk?

What are you going to do now?

They will hire an above-average lawyer.

Tell them to come at me.

Shouldn't a jerk like him be made
to pay for his crimes?

Yes, you're right.
But this is the men's room.

It's Mr. Baek's firm. What do we do?

I guess we have to go another round
with the old men.

She was their lawyer.

Excuse me. Were you playing with me?

Do you want to get some coffee?

I meant… what I said earlier.

The person who committed a crime
must be punished accordingly.

That's what I think.

Please win this trial.

As an attorney, I'll do my best as well.

Shall we say that whoever loses has to buy
the other person a drink, Mr. Cheon?

YANG SANGGU
FINANCE MANAGER OF JQ CONSTRUCTION

You have to… keep your promise.

EPISODE 7

LAW FIRM BAEK

JQ SLUSH FUND INVESTIGATION REPORT

Prior to concluding the investigation
of the JQ Group slush fund,

the prosecution arrested
President Choi Kitae

for destroying evidence.

For now, we stopped them
from arresting him.

They were supposed to close the case

saying that a finance officer
embezzled the funds and disappeared.

Yes, that's what they told us.

Then why are they doing this now,
all of a sudden?

They must've found something new.

Who's the prosecutor
that caused the trouble?

Yes.

It's Prosecutor Cheon Jihun.
He was in charge of search and seizure.

He lived in Paris, France
with his mother until high school.

After his mother passed away,
he returned to Korea.

What a special case.

I looked into him because he trained
with Minhyeok at the institute together.

He has no other family in Korea.

He has hardly any friends
or schoolmates here either.

He's so stubborn that
even the prosecution gave up on him.

It seems the senior officials
had no idea about this either.

So, how do you plan to respond?

Right now, we don't know
what the prosecution has.

So it will be most effective to say
Yang Sanggu has embezzled and disappeared.

President Choi

prefers to be interviewed
without attending as much as possible.

Can we ask for a written investigation?

I think it would be difficult

considering Prosecutor
Cheon Jihun's style.

Hmm.

Don't worry too much.

I will make a call tomorrow.

Who drove the public opinion
that the investigation is overly harsh?

If one has committed a crime, they must
be punished accordingly. That's justice.

Please help us
to ensure justice lives in Korea.

Must be punished accordingly…

That's justice.

Yes, Mr. Seo.

You can count on me.

Then President Choi Kitae will do a
written investigation without attendance.

Let's get a drink sometime.
Is Minhyeok doing well?

Do you mean Prosecutor Seo?

Yes.

For Choi Kitae, we will do
a written investigation.

-Yes.
-We can't.

We can't?

If you couldn't find Yang Sanggu,

you shouldn't have made this mess.
What if he's gone off and died?

Are you gonna investigate
until you find him?

It sounds like that's what you want.

What?

Have you lost your mind?

He wrote a will and disappeared.

He must've died somewhere!

Then why don't you
go find him and bring him in?

We're sorry, Deputy Prosecutor General.

Come on, let's go.

You better train your juniors better.

Yes, sir. Understood.

SEOUL CENTRAL DISTRICT PROSECUTORS' OFFICE

-Did you get yelled at a lot?
-Yes, a lot.

Are you going to keep causing trouble?

I'm sorry. But Yejin,

we weren't causing trouble.
We were trying to fix the--

-Hey.
-I just don't understand.

Everybody knows
Choi Kitae committed a crime.

We do. So what?

So is it right to starve our conscience
to feed their greed?

No!

Of course, not.

-Where are you going?
-I'm going to feed my conscience.

Wait for me.

Mr. Yang Sanggu gave this to you?

Yes. He told me to keep it safe.

Do you think he did something bad?

The kids think he's on a business trip.

Prosecutor Cheon, please find my husband.

Yes, of course.

You're back. What happened?

Choi Kitae's attendance was approved.

But it's only for one time.

-Is that okay?
-Mm.

Once...

is enough.

Really? How?

I paid you, lawyers, hundreds of millions.
Why can't you take care of it?

We agreed to a one-time attendance today.

I don't want to see that lunatic again.

Don't answer questions other than
the ones we practiced in advance.

"I don't know. I don't remember."
Do I need to say just those two things?

And for other tricky questions,
you can exercise the right to silence.

Do you have anything
you're keeping from me?

Don't you believe me?

No, I do not believe you.

Are you sure you're my lawyer?

That's why I don't believe you.

If you betray me as well,
then I really won't be able to defend you.

What else is there to hide?

There's nothing.

I have 2,000 people working for me.

How can I keep track
of what each one is doing?

It's not me.

Go after that jerk who embezzled
the company money and disappeared.

That will clear up your misunderstanding.

What was the name of that jerk?

It's Manager Yang Sanggu.

That's right, Manager Yang.

I heard he disappeared
after writing a will.

Then he must be dead somewhere.

Please be careful what you say.

Okay.

Mm, why did you kill Manager Yang?

-Mr. Cheon?
-What?

I'm sorry. I misspoke.

Why did you tell Manager Yang Sanggu...

to die?

Gosh.

You aren't a prosecutor.
You're a novelist.

That's some piece of fiction.

-Sir.
-Do you have proof?

Then have you met Manager Yang Sanggu?

You don't have to answer that.

Let's see, have I ever met…

Manager Yang?

I believe it's been quite a while
since I saw him.

I haven't seen him since he disappeared.

I see.
What about talking to him on the phone?

On the phone?

Yes. Before Manager Yang Sanggu died.

You talked to him last.

Oh, that.

He had called to say he was sorry.

He stole tens of billions
from the company.

I told him to turn himself in.

A person's life is
more important than money.

Isn't that right, Prosecutor?

I guess that's why you gave his wife…

five hundred million won.
Take a look at this.

I mean, one of my employees died.

I can't just pretend
I don't know about it.

Even though he embezzled
tens of billion won?

Embezzlement is embezzlement.
But I'm not a heartless person.

His family has to live on.

Maybe I gave too little.

What is Jihun thinking?

But…

was it a crime to talk to him
on the phone?

Talking to him on the phone
is not a crime, but…

it could be a crime to tell him

to either fall off the building
or hang himself.

Mr. Choi, I will tell him that I did it
and go to jail for however many years.

Mr. Choi, I will take all of the blame.

So, please…

-You'll take all of the blame?
-Yes.

Fine. Let's do that.

I will take good care of your family.

Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Choi.

You don't have to be that grateful.

I'm the one who should be grateful.

You said you will take
all of the blame with you.

Yes, then…

You can fall off a building…

or hang yourself.

Do as you please.

See?

I do have evidence.

Mr. Cheon.

Let's take a short break.

What is he talking about?

I need to know so I can plan a response.

I told him to kill himself.

What?

I told Yang Sanggu to kill himself.
I thought that would cover it up.

-Why are you telling me this now?
-I thought you didn't believe me anyway.

He must've heard it somewhere.

He has no proof.

Mr. Yang, you say this now,
but you may confess that I gave the order.

What would that do to my image?

You said you will take
all of the blame with you.

Yes, then…

-You can fall off a building...
-What is this?

...or hang yourself.

Do as you please.

That bastard…

How did he get this?

Ms. Lee, what's going to happen to me?

Is it something like abetting suicide?

-No.
-It's not?

That makes sense.

It's stupid to kill yourself
just because someone tells you to, right?

If this recording is true,

it will be a crime of suicide by force
in Article 253 of the Criminal Law.

Suicide by force… What is it? Is it bad?

No, it's not that bad.

That's good.

The punishment will be
similar to that of murder.

Murder?

Are you kidding me?

That doesn't make sense.
I didn't kill him.

Is there no other way?

Is there?

Ms. Lee!

Mr. Yang Sanggu?

Mr. Yang Sanggu.

How did you…

Mr. Cheon, how did you find me?

Mr. Yang Sanggu, did you think
you could solve everything by doing this?

It wasn't that,

but if I go back alive, he will kill me.

Who will?

President Choi Kitae.

He is capable of doing that and more.

That's probably not true.

What?

He will actually be happy to see you,
more than anyone.

He will be happy to see me?

Yes. I can promise you that.

It's your decision, Mr. Yang.

You can die here like this,

or return and pay the price
with Choi Kitae.

The choice is solely yours.

I mean, you should've talked him
into coming back.

Why didn't you?

He's not a prosecutor.
He's a crazy bastard!

You told him to kill himself.

You should pray if you want
Mr. Yang Sanggu to come back.

What are you trying to do?

What happens if he doesn't come back?

Tell me!

Mr. Choi Kitae.

I arrest you for the charge
of suicide of Yang Sanggu by force.

You have the right to remain silent,
you have the right to a lawyer…

I guess you don't have to hire a lawyer
since you have one already.

-Take him away.
-Yes, sir.

Ms. Lee, do something.

I didn't kill him.

Whatever you say now
can work against you at trial.

Mr. Yang.

You were alive.

What took you so long?

I'm glad you came back. I'm really glad.

You saved me, Mr. Yang.

Does this mean
I'm not charged with murder?

I'm so glad you're back!

-Are you okay?
-Yes.

I'm glad you're here.

If I go back alive,

he will kill me.

That's probably not true.

What?

He will actually be happy to see you
more than anyone.

He will be happy to see me?

Yes, I can promise you that.

Mr. Yang Sanggu.

There are many ways to solve a problem.

When you are
in the most desperate situation,

is it the best choice

to just give up on everything
that you can't handle?

Yang Sanggu has returned.

ONE DOLLAR LAWYER

SEOUL CENTRAL DISTRICT COURT

-There he is.
-There he comes.

-Do you admit to everything?
-What are your thoughts?

Everyone wants to know.
Please say something.

-What do you think of the verdict?
-Do you have anything to say?

Can you give a statement?

-Do you admit to the charges?
-Do you agree?

Yes. I admit to all of the charges.

It's not like I killed a man.

-What does that mean?
-What do you mean?

-Mr. Choi Kitae!
-Can you comment on that?

-Mr. Choi Kitae!
-Any other comments?

Is this the place?

I told you I would buy you a drink.
I never said it would be expensive.

I don't want to violate
the Improper Solicitation Act.

I said I would wager a drink.
I didn't say I would drink with you.

Mm.

So you will be difficult.

Technically speaking, I didn't lose.

He changed his lawyer after that day.

Do you think
the outcome would've been different

if you had stayed on as his lawyer?

Hmm. I'm not sure.

No.

Ma'am, can we have draft beers
and a plate of dried pollack?

Sure.

What are you doing?
Shouldn't I at least choose the food?

Don't you like dried pollack?

It's not that I don't like dried pollack…

You've never had it,
just like coffee from a vending machine.

How can that be?

Is it because you're a picky eater?

I've had dried pollack before.

Have some dried pollack.

So, Mr. Cheon.

What were you going to do
if Mr. Yang Sanggu never came back?

Would you have left him to die?

Making a choice is hard for anyone.

No matter how hard it is,

-others can't make the choice for you.
-Aah.

Are you sure you're a prosecutor?

Yes, I'm sure.
Are you sure you're a lawyer?

Don't I look like a lawyer?

No, you don't.

You do know how to smile.

Didn't you just crack a smile?

Is there anyone who can't smile?

I was just surprised you did.

You eat dried pollack

by breaking off the head
and tearing open the belly like this.

And cheers.

Sure.

Aah.

How is it? Isn't it good?

Mr. Cheon.

I have to go this way.

Okay. Good night, then.

Don't you ever go on a date?

No, I don't. Why do you ask?

Because I think I will.

Okay. Hope it goes well, then.

Are you going to continue
the investigation?

I don't think Choi Kitae will talk.

I wouldn't have started the investigation
if I was going to stop at Choi Kitae.

I'm going to find out
where he siphoned that slush fund.

What is this?

Aren't we close enough
to buy each other coffee?

What?

Close enough?

I thought we got a little close.

Aah.

What are you doing this weekend?

What?

"What? I see. What?"

Is that all you know how to say?

No.

That was your second smile.

If I make you smile for the third time,

will you go out with me?

So, what happened to them?

Are you interested in Jihun?

Yejin, what are you saying?
That's ridiculous. That permed hair…

Right? That's a relief.

Why?

There's a reason.

Drink up.

What happened to the investigation
that Mr. Cheon was conducting?

Choi Kitae never talked until the end.

Jihun continued with the investigation.

You never saw the one
who laundered the money?

No.

There was a car waiting each time
I went to a place Mr. Choi told me.

I never saw the face
of the person.

Did you see the license plate?

It was a different car every time.

I'm really sorry for not being much help.

That's okay.

If there was someone in the car,

that person must've seen you.

Yes, probably.

Come in tomorrow, just for a while.

This has nothing to do with Mr. Kim.

If it did, we would've gotten
the warrant already.

You know how Mr. Cheon is.

The lunatic of Seocho-dong.

You don't want him on your back.

Make sure you come in. Don't be late.

Mr. Cheon, I called all the businesses
in the Myeong-dong and Gangnam region.

Okay. Good work.

You said it will be over soon.
What are we doing here still?

What is this? This is all I have to do?

Isn't it easy?

Just look through from start to finish.

Did you call us here
to do this?

It will be quick.
You can go when you're done.

Just take a look.

Are you done gathering the papers?

-Yes.
-You didn't find anything weird?

I didn't find anything either.

We have nothing.

Maybe we missed it.

Take your time to look through it.

Who are all these people?

I've never seen them before.

You can all leave now.

-What a waste of time.
-How annoying.

Get the leftover sandwiches back.

You will have to wait for a little bit.

You said I just needed to look at this.
I looked through it all.

I know. It will be just for a little bit.

Just a moment.

Look. Can a prosecutor do this?

I'm a busy man. What do you want?

You've been in a lot of trouble.

What?

I said you've been in a lot of trouble.

Do you know Manager Yang Sanggu?

Manager Yang Sanggu?

I've never seen him before.

-You've never seen him before?
-No.

You didn't pay for what you ate.

That was once or twice
when I went to collect money--

Yes, it was only once or twice,

but you were charged with fraud.

Did you want to become a civil servant?
Why did you pretend to be one so often?

-Let's see what else.
-I'm sorry. I was wrong.

Look, Prosecutor.
Even if it's you who's asking,

I can't tell you anything.
Trust is everything in this kind of work.

How am I to make a living?

No, I can't.

-You can't?
-No.

-You really can't?
-No, I can't.

CRIMINAL OFFENSE REPORT

CRIMINAL OFFENSE REPORT

Are you sure you can't?

If you cooperate, I was going to expunge
your criminal records one by one.

Seriously. What do you take me for?

He came over a few times.

Is that so? When was it?

The last time I saw him
was a few months ago.

Are you running late?

He always wanted to meet in the middle.

But he called all of a sudden.

Something seemed to be wrong
and he asked me to bring it over quickly.

At a traditional Korean restaurant,

he was waiting for me when I arrived.

But he told me not to close the trunk.

That's when I realized
there was something wrong.

So I waited for a long time.

We need to have insurance too.

What's the license plate number?

N 3866

It's N 3866.

It was black.

Are you sure?

A person in the money business
never messes up numbers.

What about the front digits?

I tried to see that, but I couldn't.

A car happened to drive by right then.

Investigator, N 3866.

Please, run a search.

Yes, got it.

Let's go.

During your time as the head
of Central Investigation Department,

the prime minister candidate received
enthusiastic public support.

As an ex-prosecutor, what do you think
is the most urgent issue in our society?

More than anything,
I think we have to have justice.

What is your definition of justice?

I once said this to my son.

A society where a criminal
pays the price of their wrongdoings,

a society without those who gain
by cheating and breaking the law,

a society where honest people
are not discouraged.

I believe that is
what a just society looks like.

How do you think the hearing went?
Please give us a comment.

Are you confident you will be approved?

What kind of outcome do you expect?

-What are your plans?
-What kind of questions were you asked?

-What do you think will happen?
-Are you expecting a satisfactory outcome?

-What are your plans?
-A comment, please.

I will be spending some quiet time
with my family for a while.

Thank you.

Do that dance you learned at school.

I hear you have a girlfriend.

-Tell him.
-Why don't you tell him?

-Do you have a girlfriend?
-I don't have a girlfriend.

-I saw it on your cell phone.
-No way.

Tell Grandpa.

Why are you looking at Mommy like that?

I don't have a girlfriend.

-Good night.
-Good night.

-Goodbye.
-Okay.

Call me when you get home.

Father.

Jihun.

When did you get here?

Why didn't you come in?

I'm sorry I was a bit late.

Happy birthday.

Yes, thank you.

-Let's go in.
-Okay.

Jihun.

Yes.

Father, I'm sorry,
but I have to get going.

Why all of a sudden?

I forgot about the public
prosecutor meeting tomorrow.

Then you should get going.

Go inside.
I will leave after I see you go in.

Okay. Stop by soon.

Yes, I will.

17 N 3866

It was black.

I believe that is

Normal.

It's not Kim Kwangkyu.

CHOI JINHYUK

Mr. Cheon, we have the search results
for the vehicle.

-Thank you. Good work.
-Come in. I'm almost done.

There is only one last place
the slush fund could've gone.

This is huge.

Who is it?

He's been very busy lately.

Oh. Here he is.

On the 27th, Kim Yoonsub,
the prime minister candidate,

finished the hearing, which was
the first step towards his appointment.

He is now awaiting the final decision
by the National Assembly.

It is widely believed for Candidate Kim

will be approved by the assembly.

I will be spending some quiet time
with my family for a while.

Jihun.

No matter what choice you make,
I'm on your side.

Even if you can't tell
anyone that he is your father,

he is still your father.

You can stop here.

You can't investigate your own father.

NOT THROUGH AFFILIATES BUT SOMEONE OUTSIDE

PRESIDENT CHOI KITAE, RELATIONSHIP

PAYMENT IN CASH

Let's drink together.

Why am I here at this hour?

The investigation ran late.

Do prosecutors ever sleep?

And why is Mr. Cheon so speechless today?

You must be in a bad mood.

Then I'll just quietly sip my coffee
next to you then leave.

What if…

the worst-case scenario
turned out to be true?

What would you do, Ms. Lee?

The worst-case scenario?

Can you tell me a little more?

Hmm.

I might have to investigate
someone I respect the most.

Mm.

I guess you wish you could avoid it.

Don't worry in advance.

That situation might not come true.

What if it does?

If it does?

If it were me…

I'd go ahead with the investigation.

That would be courtesy
for the person I respect the most.

Yes, Jihun.

You are coming right now?

Yes, Father.

I… have something to tell you.

Okay. I will wait for you.

17 N 3866

Jihun.

Welcome.

What about dinner?

You must not have eaten.

Come on, let's go in.

Father.

Hmm?

There are other good things to eat.
Why did you want this?

When I was little…

Because you weren't home.

When I whined that I missed you,

Mom always bought me jjajangmyeon.

But I…

really hated it.

Having jjajangmyeon instead of seeing you…

It felt like exchanging
jjajangmyeon for you.

I wanted to know what jjajangmyeon
would taste like if I had it with you.

It's really good.

Yes.

Go ahead and eat.

Thanks for the meal, Father.

Jihun.

I'm sorry

I didn't give you
enough attention as a father.

Let's get together more often from now on.

So, which case are you working on
these days?

Oh, no. I shouldn't have asked that.

The essence of an investigation
is confidentiality.

I'm investigating the slush fund flow
of President Choi Kitae.

Ah...

I see.

I guess that investigation isn't over yet.

No.

Summoning will begin soon, Father.

17 N 3866

Yes, sir.

Mr. Cheon,
the district attorney wants to see you.

The district attorney?

Maybe he found out something.

I'm sure it's not important.
I will be back.

Jihun.

When…

I was a prosecutor,

I thought I could change the world

if I didn't falter.

Just like you.

But it wasn't easy.

Even if my record is a little tarnished,

I believe I needed to be on this path.

I'm almost there.

All I need is your help.

"A society where honest people
are not discouraged.

A society without those who gain
by cheating and breaking the law.

A society where a criminal…

pays the price of their wrongdoings."

You taught me
that is what a just society looks like.

Jihun.

I will become the prime minister
and make sure that happens.

No, you can't.

I will put things right.

What are you doing? Introduce yourself.

Nice to meet you.
I am Prosecutor Cheon Jihun.

I believe we've met before.

Have you met him already?

He summoned me for an investigation.

What are you…

Mr. Cheon, why don't you tell them?

Yes, I need to interview him
in relation to Choi Kitae's slush fund.

Are you out of your mind?

What are you saying?

It's fine.

I will heed the summon.

I shouldn't break the will
of a young prosecutor.

SEOUL CENTRAL DISTRICT PROSECUTORS' OFFICE

Will Jihun be okay alone?

That is what Jihun wants.

From what I saw, things were weird
between him and Candidate Kim Yoonsub.

Is there something going on?

I should stop by.

Minhyeok.

Leave him alone.
I'm sure he knows what he's doing.

When was the first time
you met President Choi Kitae?

It was probably three years ago.

Where did you meet him?

It was at a congratulatory reception
for a book publication.

Did you receive a contribution from him
at that time?

I didn't have a chance
to check every detail.

So, I can't give you an answer.

Have you seen this man?

Mr. Kim, you have received cash
from President Choi Kitae…

on many occasions. Have you not?

I'm not sure.

I don't remember receiving any.

I think you can stop now.

I don't think
there's anything more to investigate.

We should ask the prosecutor.

He says none. Let's go.

No. We will take a short break
and carry on.

Hey, Cheon Jihun!

PROSECUTORS WITH
TRANSPARENCY, INTEGRITY, OPENNESS

What is this?

I thought this was
the only way to change your mind.

Please take a look.

Do you think this will work?

Yes. I guess we will find out.

What if he really took the money?

Cheon Jihun causes a lot of trouble,
but he's a good investigator.

He must be doing that
because there is something.

If what Jihun is saying is true,
we need to make the first move.

-What?
-What?

I just received a few calls
from some assemblymen.

Many of them are nervous.

What should we do?

We have to get them an escape route.

You mean…

We have to make it look like
Kim Yoonsub took the money alone.

I thought this was
the only way to change your mind.

Did you hear everything, Father?

When the investigations start,
those who took the money will slip away,

and you will be left alone.

Ultimately,
you will take all of the blame.

Jihun.

I will help you.

You can correct it starting now.

How many members of the Assembly
did you give money to?

There's a lot.

I don't know if you can handle it.

You heard it before, Father.

I am quite good at investigating,

more than you think.

I need evidence
that you delivered them the money.

I'm sure you have the list.

I do.

I will give you the list later.

Fine.

Shall we stop for today, Father?

Can we do that?

Of course.

SEOUL CENTRAL DISTRICT PROSECUTORS' OFFICE

Go back in.

I will take you home.

No. What will they say if they see us?

Yes, you're right.

Okay.

Father.

I wanted to be a prosecutor just like you.

OUTSTANDING PROSECUTOR
SEOUL CENTRAL DISTRICT'S CHEON JIHUN

Yes, this is Cheon Jihun.

Mr. Cheon,
is Mr. Kim done with the investigation?

Yes.

He went down a while ago.

Has he not come out?

No. I'm waiting for him.
He's not even answering his phone.

I understand. I'll head downstairs.

Mr. Cheon, I will check the front gate!

Okay.

The person you are calling
cannot accept calls at this time.

Please call back later.

Are you still in there?

Assemblyman Kim Yoonsub.

Who is this?

Who are you?

ONE DOLLAR LAWYER

Is it true that Assemblyman
Kim was being investigated by prosecutors?

Who was the prosecutor in charge?

They say he's the mad dog of Seocho-dong.

Those who act self-righteous
always get themselves in trouble.

That wasn't your fault.

He was my father.

The number Assemblyman Kim spoke to
on the phone was from a burner phone.

I have to find the ones
who did this to Father.

Don't dig into it anymore.

Don't do anything at all
and pull out of it.

I found someone
I want to work with.

I'm so glad you're here.

You'll absolutely love it.

You don't seem like the type
to run a coffee house.

What are you going to do here?

Is this the lawyer's office?

It has already been two years.

Shouldn't you live your own life now?

Why don't you resign tomorrow
and join our office?
