- Hello? - Hi.

Ms. Cha?

I think you need to come to my house now.

It's just my intuition.

I think Chun Hwan Seo...

is going to get into trouble.

Ms. Cha.

Is something wrong?

Han Yu Ri.

- Ms. Cha, wait. - Ms. Han, stay here.

I'll go with you.

I can't let you go alone.

He's the son of the foundation the whole country knows.

He wouldn't do anything rash.

Just in case,

if you don't hear from me in ten, call the police.

- Okay? - Still...

If you tell the police that I'm inside,

it'll make the headline and ruin our firm's reputation.

Tell them it's domestic violence, and they must come.

I'll be fine. Don't worry.

Mr. Chun Hwan Seo?

Come here.

You can never get away from me.

You think I'm funny?

It looks like you haven't learned your lesson yet.

- Let me teach you a lesson today. - Honey...

- Come here. - Honey...

Honey...

Mr. Chun Hwan Seo?

Mr. Chun Hwan Seo, are you home?

Ms. Yoo Ji Young?

Hi. You're here.

Where's Ms. Yoo?

Ms. Yoo.

Ms. Yoo, can you hear me?

Ms. Yoo, wake up.

Ms. Yoo.

Please...

help me.

Wait.

I beat her enough to kill her, but she's not dead.

Darn it.

You piece of...

You really killed her.

Watch your mouth. Who killed whom?

She fell down and dropped dead.

She's driving me nuts.

How much will it cost...

for you to get me a suspended sentence?

You don't deserve a suspended sentence.

You deserve a life sentence.

You killed her.

A woman is dead. She's dead!

If that's what my attorney thinks,

you're no longer my attorney.

You're just a mere witness that doesn't need to stay alive.

I'll do the same...

to your daughter too.

(Attorney Han Yu Ri)

The person you reached is unavailable.

If you don't hear from me in ten, call the police.

Okay?

Tell them it's domestic violence, and they must come.

Darn.

Darn it.

Darn it!

Where did she go?

Where is she?

Darn.

(Police)

Darn it.

Hello, Father.

We have something to deal with.

Don't touch me. I'll go on my own.

I'll kill you soon too.

Okay?

(Episode 13)

If that's what my attorney thinks,

you're no longer my attorney.

You're just a mere witness that doesn't need to stay alive.

Who said you could be here without my permission?

I'll do the same...

to your daughter too.

(Police)

(Police)

What?

(Police)

- Ms. Cha, are you okay? - Ms. Han, are you okay?

Yes.

Where are you?

I'm...

at the police station. Where are you?

I'm home.

Like you said,

I called the police ten minutes later.

Chun Hwan Seo was arrested red-handed.

Good job.

Good job. You did well.

Ms. Han Yu Ri?

Ms. Cha, they want to ask me questions.

I'll call you later.

Okay.

I'm Attorney Han Yu Ri...

from Law Firm Daejeong.

How did you know about the situation when you reported it?

I'm...

Chun Hwan Seo's divorce suit attorney.

I received a call from him, and when I got there,

the door was open.

There were signs of a brawl, so I called the police.

Did you go to Chun Hwan Seo's house alone?

If you tell the police that I'm inside,

it'll make the headline and ruin our firm's reputation.

Tell them it's domestic violence, and they must come.

Yes.

Please...

help me.

I'll do the same...

to your daughter too.

(Case 13: Resolution)

(Dokseo Police Station)

I'll kill you soon too.

Ms. Han.

Are you okay?

Sorry to call you late at night.

- Not at all. - I thought...

I should tell you immediately.

No need to apologize.

You don't have to say that.

Is...

Eun Kyung home safe?

Yes, I think so.

Well...

I didn't really get to hear...

what actually happened in detail,

but I think...

I think there was some kind of...

a scuffle between Mr. Chun...

- It's okay. - and Ms. Cha.

Okay.

You must have been scared too.

Let's go. I'll drop you off.

Okay.

Thank you.

The law firm will sort out the rest.

Don't worry about anything. Just get some rest. I'll call you.

Okay. I will.

- Go inside. - Okay.

Hello, sir.

Did you know my son was arrested?

I was informed.

Ms. Han made the report. Were you informed about that too?

Yes.

- Please calm down. - How do you expect me to calm down?

What kind of attorney would report her client to the police?

How do you call yourselves attorneys?

Unfortunately, we won't be able...

to represent your son regarding this criminal case.

I wasn't going to hire your firm!

I'll make sure you guys pay for this!

(Eun Kyung)

Eun Kyung. Are you hurt?

The firm will take care of it from here.

Don't come to work. Just get some rest.

I'll contact you again.

(Eun Kyung)

(Jung Woo Jin)

(Daejeong)

Yes. I understand.

I'm so sorry, Director Chun.

Did you want to see me?

You told him you wouldn't represent his son's criminal case.

It's a murder case.

Even if he asked us to take it, we mustn't take it.

Do you think this is a simple matter...

- of taking his criminal case? - A woman is dead.

It hasn't been even 24 hours since Ms. Yoo's death.

Do you think her death matters right now?

What if he hires another firm to represent Chun Foundation...

for their medical and construction-related cases?

Don't you know that it will damage the firm?

I'll come up with a contingency plan.

Get out of my office.

(Trustworthy Police, Safe Country)

If that's what my attorney thinks,

you're no longer my attorney.

You're just a mere witness that doesn't need to stay alive.

I'll do the same...

to your daughter too.

(Trustworthy Police, Safe Country)

Han Yu Ri. An attorney from Daejeong?

What was she doing at the murder scene?

Could she be an accomplice?

Gosh. These rich people call their attorneys before they kill.

Daejeong, the law firm? Doesn't Cha Eun Kyung work there?

Gosh. That's where all dirty attorneys work, I guess.

She's an attorney? So she represents a murderer?

Why was she at the murder scene?

I wonder if they were all in on it together.

Chun Hospital operates a ridiculously big foundation.

See? Money is the root of all the problems.

I know, right?

("Caller Turns Out to Be Daejeong Attorney")

On July 2,

Director Chun Doo Young's eldest son,

Chun Hwan Seo, who is also known...

as the chairman of Chun Medical Foundation,

was arrested for assaulting his wife, Yoo, to death.

Moreover, Attorney Han from Law Firm Daejeong...

who was representing Chun...

on his divorce lawsuit witnessed...

- the murder scene. - Attorney Han?

Han Yu Ri?

- Is she talking about Ms. Han? - Ms. Han?

(Attorney at law, Jun Eun Ho)

("Chun Gets Arrested for Murder, With Law Firm Attorney as Witness)

("Chun Gets Arrested for Murder, With Law Firm Attorney as Witness)

It's about Chun Medical Foundation.

- If I say the chairman... - Gosh. I hope Ms. Han is okay.

- Did you read the news articles? - committed murder,

- It's a murder case? - would you believe me?

- Are you buying this? - Yes. I also found out about it...

- No way. - from the news.

I was very shocked.

First of all, Korea's biggest hospital,

Chun Hospital, is a part...

- of Chun Medical Foundation. - Seriously?

That's right. The son of this influential foundation...

- was arrested at the murder scene. - This is crazy.

But another person other than the victim was found at the scene.

She works at 1 of the 3 major law firms in Korea.

Her name is Han Yu Ri from Law Firm Daejeong.

The major foundation and the major law firm are working together.

I wonder about the relationship between the two.

Don't you smell something fishy about this?

(Partnership of Major Foundation and Major Law Firm)

I'm 100 percent certain that there was some kind of...

connection between the two.

I'm 200 percent certain then.

- Really? No way. - I can't believe this.

- Did you hear? - Is that really true?

- She's here. - Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

Ms. Han. Are you all right? Are you hurt?

No. I'm really fine.

Seriously. Why did you go there?

I told you not to put yourself in harm's way.

Ms. Han.

I told you to take a day off. Why did you come to work?

Well, I'm behind with my paperwork.

I just...

wanted to work.

Ms. Han.

Eun Kyung.

I told you to rest...

You two never listen.

Ms. Cha. Are you all right?

You should have taken a day off. Why did you come to work?

Well,

why did you become the witness?

You went there after everything happened.

Why are you the witness?

Don't worry about me.

Well, the truth is going to come out anyway.

They are just rumours going around online.

How could we not worry?

People are trying to find out who you are.

He's right. Reporters might show up at the law firm.

You shouldn't come in until things settle down, Ms. Han.

No. I'm fine.

He's right. You should go home and rest.

I'll take care of everything.

- I must do it. - No, don't do anything yet.

This matter doesn't only pertain to you guys.

The firm will handle it.

You two should stay out of it.

(The 1st hearing)

Let's begin.

Prosecution, state your charge.

The defendant was the victim's husband.

On June 4, 2024,

the victim filed for divorce. Due to her decision to file for divorce,

they fought often.

The victim had left home. But once she returned home,

they began to fight.

The enraged defendant pushed down the victim on the floor,

climbed on top of the victim,

and punched the victim in the face and head dozens of times.

The defendant's assault...

led to a subdural haemorrhage...

in the left side of the victim's brain.

This injury led to the victim's death.

Do you plead guilty to the charge?

I'm sorry.

(Defendant)

I'm sorry.

Yes, Your Honour. He pleads guilty...

to the assault charge.

However, to prove that he was mentally unstable,

we have submitted...

the defendant's treatment records from a psychiatrist.

As the defendant doesn't have any prior record,

I ask that you sentence him to a probational period.

You murderer!

I didn't know everything my daughter said was true.

If I were to side with her, I was worried she'd get a divorce.

So I didn't pay attention to what I saw or what she told me!

Had I known you were going to beat her to death that night,

I would've let her get a divorce. Getting a divorce was better...

than handing over my precious daughter to a murderer!

(Defendant)

My Ji Young...

I'm the reason you died.

I killed my own daughter.

Oh, no.

- Are you all right? - Goodness.

Did she pass out?

- Are you all right? - Ma'am.

Please...

help me.

Had I gotten there faster,

- she would've lived. - Don't blame yourself.

Did you see his face?

Chun Hwan Seo was relieved, not anxious.

I saw it.

I think he had already made up his mind to kill Ms. Yoo.

Something has gone wrong.

He should have been indicted for murder.

It seemed to prove the intent for murder,

they didn't have enough evidence.

What? Why would you report it?

You weren't the eyewitness.

He was indicted with manslaughter because they thought...

it was without malice aforethought.

If I were to make a statement...

about his violent nature which I observed...

No. Ms. Han. Think rationally about this.

Do you think that would work?

This isn't a drama. This is the reality.

What if he tries to take revenge on you after he gets released?

This might put you in danger too.

I...

Please turn off the water!

If I can't get divorced this time,

I think this marriage will only end when I die, arbitrator.

I want to reveal the truth about the late victim, Yoo.

It's just not fair.

Ms. Han.

I don't want you to be in danger anymore.

Please?

(My daughter)

The person you reached is unavailable.

The person you reached is unavailable.

She must be home. Why isn't she answering her phone?

I'll do the same...

to your daughter too.

The person you reached is unavailable.

(My daughter)

(Mom)

(Missed calls)

(Mom)

Higher, pretty

The person you reached is unavailable.

Hello?

Kim Jae Hui!

Where are you?

I told you I was going to a coin karaoke with my friends.

But why didn't you answer your phone? I was worried about you.

I didn't hear it because of the music.

What's wrong?

Jae Hui. I...

I'll go to you.

Send me the address right now. Okay?

Jae Hui.

Did anyone try to follow you today?

Well, if people you don't recognize want you to come with them,

you can't follow them. Okay?

Mom, are you okay?

Mom, you're acting really strange.

Yes.

- Nothing is wrong. - As if.

No. Well,

I...

Mom, you were always right.

You know that, right?

Everything will turn out well.

I'm in front of the Law Firm Daejeong building.

It recently came into light that an attorney...

from Law Firm Daejeong was an eyewitness to the murder...

committed by Chun Medical Foundation's Chairman,

Chun Hwan Seo, with the victim being his wife.

The public is speculating if there's a possible partnership...

between the foundation and the law firm.

Hello, everyone.

As a continuation of our last episode,

we'll cover more about Law Firm Daejeong today.

The MOU was signed right before...

Daejeong took on Chun Hwan Seo's divorce case.

I find that very surprising and suspicious.

Could they have been planning since then to do damage control?

That's what I think.

Here's my guess.

The two organizations had their own big picture...

which got messed up because of the other.

Are you seeing the comments?

Isn't this just too harsh?

- I know, right? - It's practically a fact now.

What should they do?

It's infuriating.

(Managing Partner Oh Dae Gyu)

("Daejeong and Chun MOU in Trouble? Public Opinion Takes a Nosedive")

(They signed the MOU to hire a clean up crew.)

If that's what my attorney thinks,

you're just a mere witness that doesn't need to stay alive.

I'll do the same...

to your daughter too.

Please...

help me.

Don't worry about me.

I'm fine, Ms. Cha.

My Ji Young... I'm the reason you died.

Please talk to Yu Ri.

What for?

What is she doing?

The Chun Hwan Seo case.

She keeps wanting to report him to the police.

I'm worried, to be honest.

She's being hounded online already when she did nothing wrong.

If she gets in deeper...

I'm worried she might get in real danger.

Mom, you were always right.

It'll be fine.

(Attorney at law, Jung Woo Jin)

Mr. Jung.

As of today, you're officially managing partner.

- Thank you. - Congratulations.

I'm sorry there's a crazy mess on your first day.

(Notice, Change in Personnel)

(Managing Partner Jung Woo Jin, One million in shares received)

Hello?

(Law Firm Daejeong)

"A trashy law firm. A trashy attorney."

Did you see the articles and comments?

It will all pass.

I'll prepare a rebuttal.

What on earth...

were our attorneys doing at a murder scene?

They acknowledged Chun's violent tendency...

and went over to separate him from his wife.

That's where the murder took place.

Wasn't that Yoo's attorney's job?

We represent Chun Hwan Seo!

Ms. Yoo didn't have an attorney.

If we'd politely refused to take Chun's divorce case...

and sent him to another firm,

none of this would've happened.

I agree.

The MOU didn't cover handling divorce cases.

It was a mistake to represent Chun Hwan Seo.

Because of one divorce case,

our construction and civil departments...

are all about to take a loss.

Are you...

all saying this is my fault?

I...

took on the case without screening the client.

It's my fault.

What we must do now...

isn't to point the blame but find a solution.

And what is that solution?

(Attorney at law, Jung Woo Jin)

(Sender: Law Firm Daejeong, Managing Partner Jung Woo Jin)

(Certification of Contents)

It's to annul the MOU with Chun Medical Foundation.

You can't do that!

What stupidity are you calling a solution,

Attorney Jung?

Today, the paperwork stating...

I'm the managing partner was published.

I have the right to make all the decisions...

regarding Law Firm Daejeong.

What?

(Law Firm Daejeong)

(Director Chun Doo Young)

(Certification of Contents)

(Sender: Law Firm Daejeong, Managing Partner Jung Woo Jin)

(Sender: Law Firm Daejeong, Managing Partner Jung Woo Jin)

They dare to stab me in the back?

(Railroad Diner)

Annulling the MOU would incur a huge loss.

Will it be okay?

A bad process...

brings bad results.

A loss to correct that...

must be accepted.

It was a lot of money, and the firm needed it.

It's possible...

I, too, covered my eyes and ears.

You did it to protect me and the team.

I was the one who covered my eyes and ears.

I regret it a lot.

I think it was all my fault.

(The 2nd hearing)

Prosecution, you amended the charge.

- Please explain. - Yes, Your Honour.

We amend the charge against the defendant...

(Prosecution)

from manslaughter to murder.

(Defendant)

Your Honour.

That's nonsense.

I never thought Ji Young would die.

How could they say I intended to kill her?

Defendant. Take a seat.

Mr. Chun. Sit back down.

I call Law Firm Daejeong's Attorney Cha Eun Kyung,

the defendant's divorce attorney...

who also happens to be the first witness at the scene...

- to the witness stand. - Very well.

(Prosecutor Cho Young Tae)

I'm Cha Eun Kyung, an attorney with Law Firm Daejeong.

What brings you here?

Prosecutor Cho.

Chun Hwan Seo should be...

charged with murder, not manslaughter.

I'm sorry?

I...

witnessed the scene.

That woman...

How is she a witness?

She showed up after Ji Young died.

She doesn't know anything.

You.

You're my attorney.

Mr. Chun. Try to calm down.

What happened?

Why were you called as a witness?

I reported him to the police.

I'm the one who witnessed the scene.

Everything you worked for, your career at Daejeong.

What if it all crumbles?

If it's the time it crumbled,

I should let it.

I should have long ago.

The attorney who represented Chun Hwan Seo,

son of Chun Medical Foundation's director,

who's on trial for murdering his wife...

in the divorce trial turned out to be the famous Cha Eun Kyung.

Cha was selected...

to attend the trial as a witness.

The focus is what she'll say on the witness stand.

What on earth?

- What's this? - "I knew it."

"Cha Eun Kyung defended a murderer."

"Gosh, what a scary woman."

Look at this comment.

"I had a bad feeling about Cha Eun Kyung."

"She's a psychopath."

"She's telling the world what her client told her."

"She's a trashy attorney?"

How dare they say this?

We should report them all...

- and teach them a lesson. - Exactly.

- Scroll down. - This one?

- Screenshot it. - This comment?

- This one. - Hang on.

(Attorney at law, Han Yu Ri)

Ms. Han. Did you read the comments?

(She's an expert traitor lawyer.)

"A national betrayer."

People...

really are just too cruel.

They don't see what Ms. Cha's trying to do...

to help Ms. Yoo.

They're just fixated...

on the fact that she was his divorce attorney.

I know.

Ms. Cha betrayed just one person, and that's Chun Hwan Seo.

They don't know anything.

She won't be able to keep her job here, will she?

Obviously. The managing partner won't let her.

She wants to tell the world what her client...

told her in confidence.

Existing clients won't trust Daejeong anymore.

It's possible...

we won't get any new cases.

(The 3rd hearing)

(Defendant)

We'll question the witness now.

(Witness)

(Defendant)

Witness.

People like attorneys and doctors who learn facts...

as part of their services are allowed to refuse to testify.

Will you give up your right to do so and testify?

Yes. The proviso clause...

of Article 149 of the Code of Criminal Procedure...

states one can do so to benefit the public interest.

I give up my right to remain silent and will testify.

(Defendant)

Witness. How do you know the defendant?

(Defendant)

(Witness)

I represented the defendant in his divorce trial,

and I'm also the first witness to arrive at the scene of the crime.

Explain the situation when you first arrived.

When I reached the scene after a call from the defendant...

- Ms. Yoo? - The victim Yoo Ji Young...

Please...

help me.

was labouring to take her final breaths.

The moment I tried to call for help,

the defendant snatched my phone and tossed it.

At that moment...

I witnessed Ms. Yoo Ji Young die.

So there was time to take measures to save the victim,

but the defendant stopped you?

Yes. She was definitely still alive.

The defendant looked down at the victim and said...

I beat her enough to kill her, but she's not dead.

"She's not dead yet."

That's what he said.

No. That's a lie.

The defendant called me to the scene,

thinking the victim had died.

The defendant had said...

I'm going to kill her.

things to me that alluded he would kill the victim.

I went to the scene with a pen-shaped recorder.

(Defendant)

I beat her enough to kill her, but she's not dead.

The victim...

ended up dying.

Yes.

During the divorce proceedings...

If I can't get divorced this time,

I think this marriage will only end when I die, arbitrator.

The victim said it would only end with her death,

and that came to be.

(Defendant)

Hey!

My son is a murderer?

How dare you lie in court?

You represented my son.

How could you betray him?

- Please stop. - Why should I stop?

What? You'll annul the MOU?

Are you cutting ties to save your skin?

I'll come after you and your father, okay?

Just as you had nothing to do with your son's crimes,

my actions have nothing to do with my father.

I'm the managing partner of Daejeong now.

Come after just me.

Do you know how much I lost for doing business with you?

How we make up for our own losses is up to us.

Thanks for everything.

- Let's go, Eun Kyung. - Okay.

(Revise Outdated Laws)

(Reduce the Burden of Proving Reason for Divorce)

The third hearing in Ms. Yoo Ji Young's murder case...

is currently in session.

It could be said...

that we're collectively responsible for her death.

Divorce is still tabooed...

both at home and in society.

On top of that, her divorce was denied in court...

only because she had trouble gathering the necessary evidence.

Isn't it possible...

that they all led to her being stuck in an abusive marriage?

There should never be more victims like her.

Please read this.

Could you please read this?

Please read this.

- Please read this. - Over here.

Could you please read this?

We might be collectively responsible for her death.

I should've said this sooner,

but how could two women even think to go...

to Chun Hwan Seo's house by themselves?

After being aware of a threat,

you should've notified the office first.

I don't know.

At the time,

all I could think about was going over there.

You have a tendency to carry all of the weight by yourself.

That has to stop.

Here.

Hey.

I believed...

that I had been loyal to the firm all these years.

But it wasn't for the firm.

It was for me.

I did it all for me.

So why have I been under the impression...

that I've been sacrificing my life for the firm and my family?

I'm sure you know...

you haven't been yourself lately.

What does "being myself" look like?

Right there. That tone.

That's the Cha Eun Kyung I know.

Gosh.

I should've said this sooner,

but I approve of our managing partner Jung Woo Jin.

Actually, I approved the second I heard it.

- Please read this. - Please take a look.

- You've got to be kidding me. - We might be responsible too.

- Unbelievable, right? - What is wrong with her?

- I'm mortified. - See what I mean?

She's a lot like someone I know.

That can be wrapped up by Team Three.

- Sure. - Got it.

- That'll end the meeting, then. - Sure thing.

- Good job, guys. - Great work.

- Thanks. - Good work.

Great work.

Mr. Jung.

We should watch the news.

The fact that Law Firm Daejeong...

immediately withdrew its position...

as Chun Hwan Seo's divorce attorney...

after discovering his abusive nature...

has garnered the attention of the public.

Also, Attorney Cha Eun Kyung was said to personally speak...

to the prosecution in favour of the late Ms. Yoo Ji Young.

Experts believe that the information...

provided by Ms. Cha somewhat influenced the prosecution...

to revise the charges from involuntary manslaughter to murder.

The public is displaying more interest...

as it is unusual for charges to be revised during a trial...

and has been showing heated support...

for Ms. Cha's courageous act.

Attorney Cha Eun Kyung has been stirring up controversy.

Could you please comment on that?

Ms. Cha...

risked her own career...

by providing the prosecution...

with necessary information that could revise the charges.

If she hadn't informed the prosecution,

the defendant would've received a lesser sentence...

only for involuntary manslaughter rather than murder.

Attorney Cha Eun Kyung...

is more courageous...

(Han Yu Ri, Divorce Attorney)

than anyone I know.

There is a keen interest on whether Mr. Chun...

could be charged with murder and how the Supreme Court...

- will eventually rule. - Unbelievable.

- Tell me about it. - Thank you, I'm Park Yu Na.

- What a relief. - That could've been way worse.

(- I feel bad for doubting them. - You're the best. I'm a fan!)

Ms. Cha, did you read the news?

It's such a relief.

Public sentiment is now supportive rather than hostile.

It should've been this way ages ago.

Thanks, Yu Ri.

I told you to stay out of it,

but you couldn't help yourself.

I wanted...

to be a good partner you could rely on.

You're a great partner, Yu Ri.

Thank you.

By the way, the camera loved you.

How about a regular stint on air?

I'll make introductions.

No, I don't think I can do it.

As if. You're a natural.

- Aren't you? - I'm not.

Tomorrow, we'll know how the court decides...

in Chun Hwan Seo's case.

You all did great work in your respective places.

We're gathered here today as per Ms. Cha's request.

Is there something you want to say to us?

The two of you...

will be taking on cases by yourselves from now on.

That's what I wanted to say.

- Sorry? - Sorry?

Your paperwork still needs to be reviewed,

but we'll no longer...

go with you to court or discuss defence strategies.

It's about time you flew solo.

That means we're actual attorneys now.

I'll do my best.

- Sure. - Nice!

(The ruling)

The defendant...

will be sentenced...

to 15 years in prison.

- Look here, Judge. - What?

Who paid you to rule against me?

Let go of me, you punks.

How can you call yourself human when you're sending...

an innocent man to prison?

Let go of me. How much will it cost?

I'll pay you, so let's have a do-over.

How much did you each receive?

Hey! Let go.

Let go of me.

I get it, so let go.

I... Look here, Judge.

- That's enough. - Judge!

What did I even do? I didn't kill anyone.

I'll pay you just as much.

I can't accept this.

I won't accept it.

It's Cha Eun Kyung.

- Here she comes. - Over there.

- Here she is. - Ms. Cha!

Ms. Cha,

you were the attorney...

representing Chun Hwan Seo in his divorce case.

Why did you waive your rights...

and testify against your own client?

I wanted the deceased to at least have some closure,

and I believed it was my civic duty to speak up.

That is because I know better than anyone...

about the many victims who suffer from domestic violence.

Do you have any words for the victims of domestic abuse?

Even as we speak, somebody in this world...

is losing the will to live due to domestic abuse.

Family members should be our support system,

not predators who oppress us through force.

A family member who oppress us with force...

is no longer family.

Some are criticizing you...

for speaking against him when you were his lawyer.

What are your thoughts on that?

I couldn't care less.

I failed to notice the abuse sooner...

and couldn't stop the defendant.

All I'm sorry about is the fact that I couldn't save Ms. Yoo.

He received a heavier sentence than what is normally given.

- Is that true? - Yes.

The law is there to punish those who commit crimes...

and rarely has the ability to prevent crime itself.

However, the court's ruling today...

will serve not only as a punishment...

but as a social function that will prevent crime.

For that, I show my gratitude and respect to the judicial branch.

Could you share some last words about this case?

The attorneys and staff at Law Firm Daejeong...

gave it their all...

to speak up for the late Ms. Yoo the best that they could.

We mourn the victim who met an untimely death.

May she rest in peace.

- Is that all? - What is your take...

- on the heavier sentence? - Ms. Cha!

What was the crucial factor in this case?

- Gosh. - Nice.

- That was killing me. - What a relief.

- It's done. - This is great.

Yu Ri, you're incredible.

- This is great news. - Good work.

- Great work, guys. - You too.

- Good work, everyone. - You did great.

- You did a great job. - Thanks.

- You did great. - What a relief.

That was satisfying.

- I can't believe it. - This is incredible.

Good work, everyone.

- Ms. Han. - Yes?

You did great.

And thank you.

No one had it rougher than you did, Ms. Cha.

What you did was courageous.

And I'm thinking of my second courageous act.

What is it? Do tell.

- Together... - I'm leaving.

You're leaving?

Leaving from what?

I'll leave Daejeong,

and you'll stand alone out from under my wing.

(Good Partner)

What kind of a place...

is Cha Eun Kyung's Spring Again?

A place that will help clients...

regain their springs as soon as possible.

Wire money into my commissary account,

and I'll sign the contract the next time you're here.

I'm the one refusing.

I couldn't book any clients and wasted my time all day.

I won't even be able to pay the rent at this rate.

Maybe you'd like to pay her a visit.

She's the best attorney I know.

Place your complete trust in me.
