Original subtitles

Doesn't this victim remind you of a past case?

I really didn't do it this time.

I know. As for the Kim Sun–hee murder case,

Han Jong–gu isn't the killer.

I have evidence to prove it.

Then what can I do?

Find a way to make him pay for the murder from five years ago.

Five years ago, did you kill Yang Ae–ran at a demolition site

in Eunseo–gu...

...and damage her body?

Yes!

–I killed her. –This is completely unprecedented.

Experts are saying that he's not likely to be...

...prosecuted for the murder even if he has confessed to it...

...because he was found not guilty of the murder initially.

I confessed that I had killed someone, and yet I managed to

get acquitted.

I need your help.

Han Jong–gu, you scumbag. Get him!

Han Jong–gu killed Yang Ae–ran five years ago.

Then, where is the man who killed Kim Sun–hee?

Where did I see her?

Dad!

Kim Sun–hee was at my dad's trial 10 years ago.

I wonder who it was and why...

...he did something like this.

Why did you want to see me?

Why else would someone in jail ask for his lawyer?

This case...

I'm sure you were told that I won't take it.

(Episode 4)

Aren't you curious...

...why I picked you to be my lawyer again?

No, I'm not curious.

If you've got nothing else to say, I'll get going now.

Choi Pil–soo.

Choi Pil–soo...

...your father.

Or should I call him Warrant Officer Choi Pil–soo?

If you want to hear more, make your decision.

Will you be my attorney or not?

I bet you came to see me for a reason.

All right, then.

Let's take it slow. We'll chill.

We'll take it step by step.

10 years ago...

...you went to my father's trial, didn't you?

Oh, is this me?

Gosh, where did you find this old photo?

Say something.

You look so scary when you're all quiet.

Why did you go there?

I obviously went there for a reason, don't you think?

But at this stage, I can't really tell you.

How many "stages" are there?

About three to four stages?

Depending on what you decide to do...

...the number may go up or down.

First, tell me that you'll represent me.

Only then will I tell you what happened.

There's no reason for you to hesitate.

Will you...

...be my attorney?

No, I won't.

I used to drive military vehicles.

I was a driver for Lt. Colonel Cha Seung–hoo at the DSC...

...whom your father shot and killed.

Oh.

I shouldn't really be telling you about stage one yet.

Gosh.

I'm quite impatient.

Do–hyun, just think...

...that I'm dead.

Think only about yourself going forward.

Gosh, I've never even seen those sneakers!

"Jung's Shoes."

Do you remember this man?

Did he buy a pair of sneakers here?

Why are you back?

Did things not go well or what?

So, you remember.

(Jung's Shoes)

–Oh, boy. –What will be better?

A jail sentence or a fine?

–What? –Thanks to you...

...an innocent person was almost convicted of murder.

–How will you make up for it? –Murder?

Well, what do you mean?

Because you lied during your testimony...

...an innocent person...

...was nearly convicted of murder.

Don't you know that perjury is a serious crime?

Perjury?

Look, I didn't intend to...

Gosh, to tell you the truth...

...I don't remember anything.

I mean, look.

I deal with more than 100 customers a day.

How could I remember that?

Then why did you tell the police that he's the one?

Well, that was...

Cops kept coming by and bothering me, which was affecting

my business.

They showed me this photo...

...and asked me if this was the guy.

They kept harassing me like that...

...so I ended up...

You ended up what?

(The Law Offices of Choi Do–hyun)

(Notice of Appointment of Attorney, Han Jong–gu)

I'm going to the court.

Okay, see you later.

Gosh.

Yu–ri, are you stuck or something?

How about a drink this evening?

Really?

(Notice of Appointment of Attorney, Han Jong–gu)

I used to drive military vehicles.

I was a driver for Lt. Colonel Cha Seung–hoo at the DSC...

...whom your father shot and killed.

(Attorney Choi Do–hyun)

Oh, my.

You're quite impatient, Mr. Attorney.

Oh, dear.

This woman. Do you know her?

Oh, my! She's pretty.

Who is she? Why are you asking me?

She also attended the trial for the Cha Seung–hoo murder.

You mean, the trial where your father was sentenced to death?

Have you...

...seen her?

She does look familiar.

Isn't this her? The dead woman, Kim Sun–hee.

My, she looks like a different person here.

Do you remember her?

Well, I never said I remember her.

First things first.

How many years are we talking?

Can't you get me acquitted?

I fought to get you acquitted five years ago...

...only because there was no evidence to prove you guilty.

But now, the situation is different.

I know that you're guilty.

–There's solid evidence as well. –Gosh...

Let's be honest. Whether I did it or not doesn't matter.

I know that you can get me out once again.

I mean, I got away with murder thanks to you.

I may decide not to represent you.

Mr. Choi, do you still not get what's going on?

Why do you think this woman was in the courtroom that day?

What's her connection to me?

And what was your father's relationship with her?

I'm dying to find out myself.

Gosh, I'm tired.

You see, I can never get restful sleep in the cell.

Let's wrap up for the day.

Oh, boy.

I'm a regular here.

I used to come here often as a kid with my dad.

With your dad?

What's he like? Your dad.

Well, he was such a wonderful dad...

...and a great reporter.

He passed away 10 years ago.

My gosh.

I'm sorry.

Don't be. It's totally fine.

Is that why you became a reporter?

Yes.

When I was little, I wanted to be just like my dad.

I even wanted to enjoy rice wine like he did.

–Shall we clink our glasses? –Sure.

My, it's so refreshing.

Now, let's hear about you.

Do you have any kids?

I have a son.

Really? What's he like?

Oh, my son.

–He's–– –Wait.

Let me guess. If he takes after you...

...he must be very handsome.

I bet he's tall and smart as well.

He's very popular, right?

You must be so proud of him. Oh, let's drink together.

Come on. Cheers.

("Criminal Procedure Act, Crash Course")

Choi Pil–soo...

...your father.

Or should I call him Warrant Officer Choi Pil–soo?

I used to drive military vehicles.

I was a driver for Lt. Colonel Cha Seung–hoo at the DSC...

...whom your father shot and killed.

What's with that face?

Oh, nothing.

You look as if you're burdened with everyone else's worries.

You had that face even when we first met.

Come down already.

I hope you're not thinking of doing something crazy.

Even if you are...

...don't do it in front of me.

Oh, this is my dad.

I wanted him to get some fresh air...

...so please don't ruin our day.

I'm also here to get some fresh air.

You're in Room 1204, right?

I've seen you a few times.

Dad, I heard he has a weak heart like you do.

I hope both you and that guy get better soon.

Tell me.

What's bothering you?

–Nothing. –Goodness.

So something's bothering you, but you can't tell me.

Fine. Today, I won't ask you twice.

But you know what?

I can see right through you.

I, too, feel like I miss my dad more than usual today.

[K-Plus Asia ver.] Confession E04 Ripped & Synced by ordinaryguy92

If you knew Kim Sun–hee in the past...

...you must tell me...

...what kind of relationship you had with her.

It wasn't a coincidence that her murder...

...was pinned on you.

There's a possibility that someone framed you intentionally.

Gosh, I really hope that's not the case.

I was probably just unlucky, you know?

I mean, coincidences happen all the time.

That can't be what happened, right?

Is there anyone that you think could do such a thing?

If there is, you have to be honest with me.

Gosh, look at you.

Acting like you're worried about me just to get the answer from me?

Draft up a pleading to get me acquitted.

Don't come back without it. I'm too tired for a nuisance like this.

You said you killed Yang Ae–ran...

...and copied the Changhyun–dong murder.

Then why did you damage the victim's lips and fingernails?

The Changhyun–dong killer didn't do that.

What are you talking about? I copied that murder to a tee!

Changhyun–dong...

–Hey. It's me, Choon–ho. –What's up?

Has another body been found or what?

–Would that be a good thing? –Goodness.

I mean, why else would you call me?

This is about something else.

About the Changhyun–dong case, which Han Jong–gu copied...

You analyzed the evidence, right?

I told you everything over the phone. What else do you want

to know?

What is it?

Let's say this is the Changhyun– dong case from 10 years ago.

And this is the copycat murder from five years ago...

...the Yang Ae–ran case.

–What are you talking about? –Then what's this?

I guess it's the Kim Sun–hee case.

We thought Kim Sun–hee's killer...

...had copied the Yang Ae–ran case...

...but the culprit who killed Kim Sun–hee...

...must've actually copied the Ko Eun–ju case or...

–Or what? –If it wasn't a copycat murder...

Maybe those two were killed by the same jerk.

So in other words...

...you want to catch the person who killed Ko Eun–ju...

...to track down the one who killed Kim Sun–hee?

How will you catch a killer from a decade ago?

I'll have to find a way.

One more victim means...

...there are now more evidence and traces that will give us clues.

He really can't get away with it now.

All that's left for him is getting caught.

Whoever it is, he's in big trouble.

He has an alligator coming after him.

My gosh, Choon–ho.

People will think that you're back in the force.

You've been visiting our station so often.

I'm not here to see you. Detective Lee.

–Yes, Captain. –What the heck?

Who's your captain?

Hey. Cut me some slack today, will you?

–Let's go, Hyung–chan. –Yes, sir.

Goodness.

Detective Lee. We'll only dig up intel on the Changhyun–dong

case, okay?

Got it, Captain.

These reports cannot leave this room.

And if you find anything new, you'll have to notify us first.

There will be problems if you do anything without us.

Gosh, we'd just like to take a quick look at these reports.

It's been a cold case for years. It won't be solved anytime soon.

Thank you for your help.

(Changhyun–dong Murder Suspect Interview Report)

Oh, boy.

My gosh, when did you take pictures of that report?

What do you think? When you were fast asleep and snoring, obviously.

By the way, you're at the age where you need to look after your health.

Shouldn't you have a bowl of sundaeguk or something?

Do you want to have a race with me?

Seriously?

What are you going to bet?

Cut it out. I was just saying.

But the thing is...

...everyone who seems suspicious...

...has a solid alibi. Isn't a case like this so rare?

That's why it's been left as a cold case.

Not everyone though.

Sorry? Is there another suspect?

–This man right here. –Come on.

This guy was locked up in the stockade.

The police didn't even interview him because of a letter that

stated so.

What a clumsy investigation, don't you think?

Come on. There's no way the military helped...

...a mere soldier craft an alibi.

Hey, Mr. Lee.

–You know Choi Do–hyun, right? –What about him?

The Han Jong–gu parricide case I've been assigned to.

Choi Do–hyun is representing him again.

I bet that kid thinks we're a joke just because he's won a few times.

Don't worry though. I'll teach him a serious lesson this time.

This is Captain Seo Geun–pyo of the Violent Crimes Unit.

What?

Attorney Choi Do–hyun?

Okay.

–What's going on, sir? –Choon–ho.

Apparently, Attorney Choi has taken on the Han Jong–gu parricide case.

–Did you know about it?

–What are you talking about? No way.

–That's what I heard. –Are you serious?

Goodness. He's going to defend a criminal...

...whom he put behind bars?

Seriously, you knew nothing about this?

What the heck is going on?

Got anything to say to me?

–It just happened. –It "just happened"?

Explain why you made such a decision!

I'm...

...a lawyer.

I didn't ask you what your job is.

Is that really the only reason?

Can someone else answer my question?

Why did he decide to represent Han Jong–gu?

Can someone tell me the reason?

If there's a client request...

...and if the request doesn't go against the rules...

...there's no reason for me to deny the request.

–That's all. –That's all?

Was I wrong about you, then?

Please calm down. Why don't you have a seat and talk?

–Shall I bring you some tea? –Sure.

I won't stop you if you insist on doing it.

But I'll be watching you.

I'll find out what the real reason is.

What the heck is he thinking?

Darn it.

Dad, did you really do it?

Think only about yourself going forward.

Dad! Dad.

Why do you think this woman was in the courtroom that day?

What's her connection to me?

And what was your father's relationship with her?

I won't stop you if you insist on doing it.

But I'll be watching you. I'll find out what the real reason is.

(Suspect)

–He's here. –There he is.

–Gosh. –Don't push.

(Han Jong–gu Parricide Case Site Inspection)

–Move back! –Move back, please.

–Move back. –We just want to ask...

–Go bring him. –Yes, sir.

–Han Jong–gu, get out. –Move back, please.

I said, get out.

Hey, what's taking him so long?

Gosh, I'm not feeling well.

I don't think I can do this today.

Mr. Han.

You can't postpone this without a legitimate reason.

I just don't want to do it.

–What's going on? –He won't get out of the car?

What does he think he's doing?

My client is very emotionally unstable right now.

It doesn't look like we can do this today.

(Han Jong–gu Parricide Case Site Inspection Canceled)

Hey, what's wrong?

What?

Nothing. I had an odd dream.

Hey, you're soaked in sweat.

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

The government is planning to purchase next–generation

attack helicopters.

Currently, the military...

...is equipped with AH–1S Cobra Helicopters...

...but most of them are very old. In addition, the US Armed Forces...

So this time, someone's trying to get kickbacks through choppers.

Who's getting all the kickbacks that it has to be advertised

like this?

(Candidate One for Joongang–gu, Park Si–kang)

(Let's change Joongang–gu! Park Si– kang is here for Joongang–gu)

Why did you want to meet here?

Oh, that.

I figured it'd be nice for you to come here...

...and see how hard I've been working.

Also, I wanted you to see how costly it can be to run this place.

From what I know, I've given you more than enough.

With chump change like that, we can barely pay the wages for a month.

Well, I'm afraid I can't give you more.

This is why working with old people can be troublesome.

I'm planning to start a big project.

I'll make sure...

...Yukwang Corporation can partake in it.

As for the next–generation weapons, it's already been decided.

Right. And if we turn the tables...

...we'll earn a lot more from it.

What do you say? Aren't you interested?

Let me think about it.

I'll also have to look into the company's finances.

Right, of course. Take your time and think about it...

...right here.

Yes, okay.

It's been delivered safely, sir.

Good, thanks.

Does he not know about it?

No, I haven't told him yet.

But it was on the news today...

–...so I'm sure he has an idea. –Right.

Still, we should tell him after things are...

...set in stone.

Understood, sir.

I keep having the same dream.

What kind of a dream?

It's about getting into an accident...

...but it's so vivid that it feels real.

But you've never been in an accident...

As we know, some things can manifest in our

dreams unconsciously.

When did this start?

I think it started early last month.

Sometimes psychological shock or trauma that you're not even

aware of...

...gets stored in your memory somewhere and gets awakened by

a certain incident.

And it may manifest itself as a dream.

Have you experienced any traumatizing events or

emotional changes recently?

I'm not sure, but I don't think so.

Okay. Well, it seems like it's not affecting your daily routine...

...so why don't you come back if the symptom persists?

–We can conduct a sleep test then. –Thank you.

Here it is.

–Thank you. –You're welcome.

Do–hyun!

–Nurse Kim. –Good to see you.

I was going to call you anyway.

Did you hear about Nurse Cho?

What's between those two, Han Jong–gu and Choi Do–hyun?

Come in!

Mr. Lee?

The suspect for the professional negligence case is here to see you.

The patient who died was scheduled to have a heart transplant the

next day.

(Heart rate, oxygen)

(Heart rate, oxygen)

I was told that it happened because she overdosed him.

It'd be good if you could be her lawyer.

One of her friends is looking for a lawyer.

Where did he go? He was just at the counter.

Did he already leave?

He'll be here again.

–I better get going. –Wait.

When you see him...

...please ask him to contact me.

Okay, I'll do that.

Okay. See you later!

You overdosed the patient and caused his death.

How could you not know the right dose when it was your routine duty?

You remained silent during the police investigation...

...and you're keeping your silence here.

Are you really not going to talk?

(The Law Offices of Choi Do–hyun)

Hello?

–Can I help you? –Hello, I...

...came to see Mr. Choi Do–hyun.

–Oh. –Hello.

There is no way Kyung–sun did that.

That was just a mistake. It makes no sense that they arrested her

for making a mistake.

In a case of professional negligence, it still applies

even if it was a mistake.

Even so...

...the arrest warrant came out so quickly even though the

police hadn't said anything.

What did Nurse Cho say?

She's not saying anything.

She can be a pushover.

How about the hospital?

The hospital is just blaming her.

They're saying they themselves are also victims because...

...the family of the patient sued the hospital for compensation.

I went to talk to them, and they wouldn't even listen.

Goodness. You...

...are the only one I can ask for help.

Well...

Why don't you just take on this case?

I owe a lot to Kyung–sun.

Don't you feel the same way, Mr. Choi?

What?

You owe her? What do you mean?

Actually...

...my father was a patient at that hospital years ago.

So was Mr. Choi.

I see.

I'll help, too.

What do you think?

Mr. Choi, please help us.

Well...

Okay, I'll help you.

Thank you.

What is your name?

My name is Heo Jae–man.

Mr. Heo Jae–man.

Also, what is your relation to her?

My relation to her?

Actually, Kyung–sun doesn't have any family.

We practically grew up together...

...and we're like family to each other.

She doesn't have anyone who can help her other than me.

Okay, I have enough information for now.

I'll review the case and get back to you.

Thank you.

–Thank you for taking her case. –Thank you.

You must have been pretty close to her.

I mean Nurse Cho.

I think Yu–ri also went out to find out more.

Yes, we stayed at the hospital for a long time.

Both myself and Yuri.

I wish you were a little more talkative.

Oh.

I'm a bit boring, aren't I?

–I'll be back later. –Okay, see you.

–Here you go. –Thank you.

(Gisan University Hospital Professional Negligence Case)

The nurse said she checked the regulator...

...but the autopsy report showed it differently.

It said that because the drug was injected all at once...

...it caused tachycardia...

...which compromised the blood flow and made the body go into shock.

I still can't understand why she was arrested.

Even if it was a case of professional negligence,

why hold her in custody?

That wasn't us.

We filed a complaint, confirmed the facts, and sent it

over to prosecution.

So the prosecution doesn't believe it was a mere mistake then.

Maybe because she refused to acknowledge her wrongdoing.

–How about the surveillance camera? –We checked it, of course.

It didn't show anyone else. Even his guardian was at the

hospital lounge.

During the two hours before and after the incident...

...that nurse was the only person who had gone into his room.

(Background Check Report)

It looks like it is just a case of professional negligence.

(Graduated from Sunyang Girls' High School)

Thank you for making time for me. I know you're going through a lot.

My understanding is that he wasn't given the correct dose.

What was the reason you ended up filing a suit?

Isn't that a given? He had no reason to die.

My husband was...

...a model educator for more than 30 years.

Take a look over there.

He wasn't supposed to die like that.

How could she neglect her duties like that and kill him?

I'm sure it wasn't intentional.

If you think that way, it'll be harder for you.

How could she just neglect a patient who was supposed to

have surgery?

If that isn't intentional, then what is?

If she has any conscience left...

...she should at least try to settle.

Did she refuse to settle?

She says she can't settle either.

That woman is unbelievable.

She should be begging me to settle, not the other way around.

–Hey, I just met with Kim Sung–Jo's wife.

–What did she say?

I don't think she's even had a chance to grieve yet.

–She's so upset. –Thank you for doing that.

But I think she might be willing to settle.

Nurse Cho.

Do–hyun, how is it that you're here?

Why don't you have a seat first?

I feel it'd be inappropriate to just call you by your name here.

You can just call me as you did before.

That would be more comfortable.

Well, in terms of what happened that day...

...I'm sure you've talked about it many times, but can you repeat

it one more time?

It's correct that I increased the dose in a rush.

But I checked the regulator for sure before I left the room.

Honestly, I'm not sure what happened.

It's odd that I would make that kind of a mistake.

The prosecution doesn't believe it was a simple mistake.

They were cornering me to say I did that on purpose.

If not, they wanted me to admit that I made a mistake.

But I couldn't admit it.

I really believed that I checked the regulator.

If you had admitted your wrongdoing, at least you

wouldn't have been arrested.

But if I admit it, it becomes a fact that I killed someone.

What do you know about the patient?

I don't know anything. I didn't really know him.

Why?

What he did for a living for instance...

In case we want to settle, we should know the details.

Well...

...I heard that he was a vice principal of a high school.

And I don't have any intention of settling.

What?

For a professional negligence case, it's important to settle.

If not, you might have to do some jail time.

I'm not going to...

...settle.

Why don't we talk about it again...

...after I review the arrest warrant?

Did you notice anything odd between Kim Sung–jo and Kyung–sun?

Anything odd?

I'm not sure.

Now that I think about it...

...that patient...

...started his outpatient treatments here two months ago.

But he'd only look for Kyung–sun whenever he came in.

Can I help you with something?

Is Nurse Cho not here today?

She's off today.

Is something wrong?

N–No. It's nothing.

Actually, Nurse Cho...

Can you give me her cell phone number?

Sorry, we can't give out personal phone numbers.

Is that so? Fine, I can just ask her myself.

There are some patients who pick a nurse and bother them all the time.

Mr. Kim was one of those people.

In that sense, Kyung–sun is a great nurse.

She voluntarily took on his case.

Oh, I see.

–Hey, you're here. –Hello, Nurse Kim.

For now, I told Yu–ri everything I know.

I just went to meet with Nurse Cho.

–How is she? –She seemed okay...

...but she has no intention to settle.

–Hello. –Hello.

Is Nurse Cho not here today?

–Oh, she had to take care of something.

–I see.

Jun–hwan needs to be careful since he just had his surgery.

Yes, we understand. Thank you.

Kyung–sun was so good to that kid.

I think I should tell you this...

–Do you understand? –Yes.

Kim Sung–jo...

...taught at Sunyang Girls' High School for more than 30 years.

But he still hit on Kyung–sun and asked for her phone number.

But she volunteered to take care of that kind of person anyway.

(Graduated from Sunyang Girls' High School)

–What's wrong?

–She went to Sunyang Girls' High School.

Then, he might have been her teacher.

I don't know anything. I didn't really know him.

Why?

Mr. Lee won't be happy when he finds out.

I know. Why Choi Do–hyun again?

I say it's an ill–fated relationship.

Anyway, I hope he doesn't create unnecessary work.

Maybe that lawyer only picks Mr. Lee's cases on purpose.

What about Choi Do–hyun?

Oh, yes.

He was appointed for the Gisan University Hospital

professional negligence case.

I see.

–When is the trial? –Next week, sir.

(Prosecutor Lee Hyun–jun)

(Gisan University Hospital Professional Negligence Case)

(Case Report)

They asked if you could review this by today.

(Gisan University Hospital Professional Negligence Case)

There's not much he can do here. Why did he take on this case?

What is up with him?

We will now begin the trial for...

...Case Number 2019–1096...

...the Gisan University Hospital professional negligence case.

Prosecution, state your position.

The defendant neglected her routine duty for the patient who

was expecting surgery...

...and caused his death by not adjusting the dose for the

drug properly.

Even though such an outcome was foreseeable and could have

been avoided...

...the defendant neglected her duty of care.

Therefore, under Article 268 of the Criminal Act...

...we charge the defendant with professional negligence.

Defense counsel.

Proceed with your statement.

We accept all charges.

However...

...since the defendant admits her wrongdoing and is showing

deep remorse...

...I ask for leniency.

Then, do both sides agree there are no further points to debate?

Yes, Your Honor.

Prosecution, do you agree?

Yes, Your Honor.

Then, we'll now end the first hearing for Case Number

2019–1096...

...the Gisan University Hospital professional negligence case.

There will be no further hearing at the next trial...

...and we'll announce the verdict.

Choi Do–hyun.

What do you think you're doing?

You're not going to make a case for defense?

That's what my client wanted.

Since when do you cater to your clients' wishes?

You didn't even settle with the victim.

My client doesn't want that.

See you later.

She admitted her wrongdoing, but she doesn't want to settle?

Can you run background checks on Cho Kyung–sun and Kim Sung–jo?

Isn't that case basically over?

Who says it's over?

Sorry, understood.

...was once accused of sexually assaulting a student.

But no disciplinary action was taken.

–When was that? –In 2001.

Our client graduated in 2002...

Take a look.

(Police Report)

That patient...

...only looked for Kyung–sun whenever he came in.

In that sense, Kyung–sun is a great nurse.

She voluntarily took on his case.

(Principal's Office)

Please wait here for a moment.

Thank you.

(Yearbook, 2002)

(Cho Kyung–sun)

I know it happened a long time ago...

...but Mr. Kim was accused of something shameful.

–It was a misunderstanding.

–What was the misunderstanding, sir?

You mean the sexual assault?

It was a misunderstanding!

One of the students had a crush on Mr. Kim...

...and made up something that didn't even happen.

The charges were dropped, too. That's enough for now.

Talking more about it would be disgracing the deceased.

Could you tell me the name of that student?

I already said such a thing didn't happen.

Excuse me.

She was my classmate.

Because of that incident...

...no one wanted to be close to her.

Even the teachers ignored her.

No one was able to protect her.

If just one person had been brave enough...

So do you mean that wasn't the only case?

No one spoke up...

...but I'm sure there were many more.

But somehow he was able to keep teaching?

Because he was a nephew of the chairman.

If any student had spoken up, she'd have been disadvantaged.

By any chance...

...was the name of the student who was sexually assaulted...

...Cho Kyung–sun?

Cho Kyung–sun?

I haven't heard that name in a while.

No, it wasn't.

Her name was Hyun–yi.

Yoo Hyun–yi.

Are you saying the client was a victim of sexual assault?

No.

It wasn't her.

But it was her friend.

And he called himself a teacher. Unbelievable.

I should've caught him.

Then he wouldn't have been able to get away with it.

Anyway, that means there is a connection.

We can't be certain yet.

–And even so–– –A lawyer must act...

...in the client's best interest.

You were going to say that, right?

But then, shouldn't we still know the facts?

I know what you mean.

But you're saying that because you're not familiar with this

field yet.

Even if you know your client committed a murder...

...if your client insists he's innocent...

...then the lawyer has no choice but to go with that.

But the spirit of the law is not to ignore the truth.

I suppose so.

Then what's the truth here?

I guess only she would know.

I knew it was odd from the beginning.

I know you're very good at what you do.

For someone like you to miss the checkup time...

...and inject the wrong dose...

...it didn't make sense to me.

Something was off for me that day.

The TV was on so loudly for the soap opera that was on in

the lounge.

But it wasn't you who was watching the show.

It was the patient's guardian.

You didn't really care about that soap opera until then.

That wench.

Goodness. Goodness!

We should knock him out.

We can inject a tranquilizer...

You got the idea from the show...

...and started to plan.

You needed to find out which show the guardian liked to watch.

–Take it back. –Sure!

Then order something to eat!

You thought that the guardian wouldn't return to the room

until the show ended.

On that day, they showed the two final episodes back to back.

And I'm sure you knew...

...that during those two hours the drug was getting injected...

...the guardian wouldn't be there to look after the patient.

Gosh, I don't know what you're talking about.

You're saying the same thing that the prosecutor said to me.

Is that what lawyers do?

I just want to know the truth.

I don't want to talk about it anymore.

Yoo Hyun–yi.

You know her, right?

Did you want to get revenge on her behalf?

What?

Did you want to get revenge for your friend?

Do you have evidence?

Do you have evidence that I killed him?

No.

I don't have it yet.

But it's only a matter of time before the prosecution finds it.

What if I just admit that it was just a mistake...

...would the prosecution still think that...

...this is a case of murder?

Kyung–sun was so good to that kid.

Is Nurse Cho not here today?

–Oh, she had to take care of something.

–I see.

Jun–hwan needs to be careful since he just had his surgery.

It's nice here, right?

When I stayed at the hospital...

...I used to come up here often.

Who are you?

I heard that Nurse Cho...

...was really good to you.

Why do you think she was so nice?

Maybe... because I'm good–looking?

Well, I guess that's also true.

Any other reasons?

Well...

...maybe you know this since you've had surgery.

It's so expensive.

I don't have a dad...

...and my mom works multiple jobs to pay for my hospital bills.

So you think that's why Nurse Cho took care of you instead?

She's my mom's friend.

–Friend? –Yes.

I heard they were good friends in high school.

They lost touch for a long time...

...but they reconnected after I came to this hospital.

What is your mom's name?

My mom?

Her name is Yoo Hyun–yi.

Yoo Hyun–yi...

Cho Kyung–sun?

I haven't heard that name in a while.

No, it wasn't.

Her name is...

...Hyun–yi.

Yoo Hyun–yi

Yoo Hyun–yi.

The deceased was once accused of sexually assaulting a student.

–When was that? –In 2001.

Do you know my mom?

By any chance...

...were you born in 2002?

How did you know?

(Confession)

I'm going to charge her with murder.

Do you want to spend the rest of your life in jail?

What do I do, Mr. Choi?

Mr. Choi's father is on death row.

What?

Choi Do–hyun.

What are you hiding from me?

That punk seems like he knows something.

What can you do for me?

Are you trying to make a deal?

You just need to tell me the truth.

Why did you kill him?
