THE JUDGE RETURNS

LIGHTHOUSE BOOKSTORE

I knew it.

I didn't realize
my enemies were everywhere.

What's that nonsense?

Enemies?

It's not nonsense.

Huh?

This is why we need the law.

You bastards!

What are you doing here?
I waited forever for you to return.

Did he borrow money from you, too?

Who did this to my boss?

Not me.

It's him.

You bastard!

Hey!

Damn it.

Hey.

You okay?

I told you to wait!

Be quiet.

You little bastard!

You sure you're fine?

I'm fine.

EPISODE 8

Hey, I'm stuck!

Take Chu Yong-jin and Cheon Hak-su.

They're at the Buyong Police Station
in Incheon.

I'll also send you the ledger

of the kickbacks between Chu and Kang.

Okay.

KICKBACK LEDGER FOR JT

All done. Let's go.

PROSECUTION SERVICE

KICKBACK LEDGER FOR JT

Right on.

Sorry.

Some guys came and ruined my plan.

Yong-jin got away.

Mr. Kang.

Yeah.

I know the ferry terminal.
I'll take care of it immediately.

No.

Would you take the ferry
if you were in his shoes?

Oh.

What should we do?

It won't be easy to find him
if he hides from us.

We have to cut him off.

Mr. Kang

I really don't have a good feeling
about Judge Lee.

Since the draft dodger list

plans keep getting ruined

since meeting Judge Lee.

Who was it?

They seemed to know

Yong-jin and his gang.

You need to make yourself useful

if you want to stick around.

I know you know it.

That I'm the only one
who can mend your scars.

Let me give you a job.

I really don't have a good feeling
about Judge Lee.

Since the draft dodger list

our plans keep getting ruined

since meeting Judge Lee.

We'll find out soon enough.

PROSECUTION SERVICE

I printed this file from your flash drive.

The guy who ordered his men to kill you

and the "JT" here are
both Mr. Kang Jeong-tae, right?

I know I'm right.

Gosh.

Would you also charge him

with attempted murder?

Technically, it's solicitation of murder.

Yes, the "JT" written here refers

to Mr. Kang Jeong-tae

the third-term politician
from the majority party.

I sent him money every month

and delivered loads of cash
during election seasons.

As soon as my investigation ended

he pressured me to smuggle myself out
on a ferry.

I guess he just wanted to feed me
to the sharks.

Gosh, that's refreshing.

But you know

my stomach feels a bit queasy

drinking cold water on an empty stomach.

What's good around here?

Let's grab lunch together.

I'll serve it to you on a silver platter.

As much as I'd love that

it's only a matter of time
until Mr. Kang finds out that you're here.

I have to hustle to get the arrest warrant
before that.

Why don't you eat first and wait?

Oh, and jeyuk bokkeum is good

around here.

He mentioned Mr. Kang Jeong-tae.

They're preparing
the arrest warrant for him soon.

Mr. Woo Gyo-hun.

You admitted to falsifying your address.
Is that right?

Yes.

My daughter had depression.

But she had one friend
whom she could rely on

and I committed such an act

so they could attend the same school.

I apologize.

LEE SEONG-HUN, HAN SANG-MIN

You refused to submit

your daughter's medical report
that was requested.

Because it would infringe
on patient confidentiality.

We just want to ensure

that she actually had depression!

Excuse me!

Are you telling the candidate
for the Ministry of Justice

to break the law?

Please be quiet!

This is an interview for Mr. Woo!

Ask questions, then! Why the hell
are you telling him to break the law?

"The hell"? Who do you think you are?

How long have you been a politician?

What?

FALSIFICATION OF THE ADDRESS
FOR HIS DAUGHTER

Mr. Woo

during your time
as a presidential secretary

you left your stocks
with your brother-in-law

and retrieved them, correct?

In other words, this is stock parking!

It's not appropriate for me to speak

upon a matter in investigation.

You remember

talking to your friends about stocks

back then, don't you?

I have no recollection of that.

We requested your wife's history
of stock exchanges

but you refused, correct?

I didn't think I needed to submit
personal information.

Aren't you admitting to the allegations

by refusing to submit the documents?

Ms. Park, stop assuming things.

Our people can't accept his explanations

when he keeps acting dumb
about the obvious!

Don't attack him without proof.

Does this look like a podcast to you?

Please be quiet!

How can he be the Minister of Justice

when he can't even answer these questions?

A STRONG POLITICIAN
TO MAKE NAMMYEON DISTRICT GREAT!

What brings you here?

I'm Prosecutor Park Cheol-woo
from the Central Prosecutors' Office.

Please begin.

- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.

What are you doing?

Please back up.

Please get out.

Take everything here as well.

THE PROSECUTION IS ON A SEARCH AND SEIZURE
AT THE DISTRICT OFFICE

I'll issue an arrest warrant
once the session is over

so tell him to stick around.

- Text him.
- Okay.

Alright, let's go!

The prosecution is on a search and seizure
at the district office.

Mr. Woo, you keep beating around the bush.

Kim Jin-a went after Jang Tae-sik

as soon as she became a prosecutor.

Please speak.

I can answer any questions
about allegations against me.

However

I don't think it's appropriate

to speak about my family at this hearing.

Hurry, Prosecutor Kim.

PROSECUTOR KIM JIN-A

What's this?

A part of the set.

Do your thing with this, too.

You're the only one

I can trust.

Lies.

Bust Woo Hee-young and stop her daddy
from becoming the Minister.

I'm the mastermind behind it.

A no-name judge getting
the whole prosecution in action?

That's also got to be a lie.

Man.

Mr. Baek.

Yes?

Let's go.

Where?

ASSEMBLYMAN KANG JEONG-TAE'S OFFICE
SPECIAL ACTIVITIES REPORT

Hello?

I'm Kang Jeong-tae.

I need to speak to you

one on one.

Yes.

I'm heading to Mr. Kang's office
right now.

My prosecutor instincts tell me
he wants to make a deal.

I'll need to see what he's offering.

Let's go together. It could be a trap.

People can't mess
with the prosecutors of Korea that easily.

Fieldwork is for prosecutors,
not for judges.

Bye, then.

Mr. Park. Mr. Park!

I'M KANG JEONG-TAE.
I NEED TO SPEAK TO YOU, ONE ON ONE.

ASSEMBLYMAN KANG JEONG-TAE

Yes, Mr. Kang.

Still no updates on Gyo-hun?

He'll go down before midnight.

Why don't we wait together?

Why? Something wrong?

No, sir. Where should I meet you?

Come to my office.

Yes, sir.

PROSECUTOR PARK CHEOL-WOO
OF THE CHUNGNAM PROSECUTORS' OFFICE

Please pick up.

PROSECUTOR PARK CHEOL-WOO
OF THE CHUNGNAM PROSECUTORS' OFFICE

JUDGE LEE HAN-YOUNG
OF THE CHUNGNAM DISTRICT COURT

FACTS REGARDING STOCK PARKING ALLEGATIONS

I think we've done enough talking now.

Do you have anything more to say?

Come on. It's getting late.

Let's call it a day now.

Alright, everyone, freeze!

As of this moment,
I'm arresting everyone here

for violations
of the Narcotics Control Act.

- Wake up.
- You have the right to an attorney

and to make a statement.

You may request a review of legality...

What are you doing? How did you get in?

Oh, you're Prosecutor Kim Jin-a, right?

Nice to meet you.

I'm Song Na-yeon,
a reporter at Daejin Daily.

Judge Lee told me that I'd see you

if I just camped out here.

Oh.

Let's wrap it up now.

CABINET MINISTER NOMINEE

What?

EMERGENCY ARREST OF THE DAUGHTER
OF WOO GYO-HUN, THE MINISTER NOMINEE

It's an emergency arrest!

I knew it
when he kept defending his family.

There's no way he can get out of this.

What a nice little daughter he has, huh?

AN JI-HUN, CHIEF OF STAFF

EMERGENCY ARREST OF THE DAUGHTER
OF WOO GYO-HUN, THE MINISTER NOMINEE

A RAID INTO A VIP CLUB
BUSTING SMUGGLED DRUGS

Mr. President...

Please!

Please! Please...

WOO GYO-HUN

Your call cannot be completed.
Please leave a message...

What the hell do I do?

WOO GYO-HUN

Your call cannot be completed.
Please leave a message...

Why isn't he picking up?

MR. PRESIDENT PARK GWANG-TO

Mr. President!

Please help me out.

Please stop the press...

Thanks for your hard work.

I'm sure you'll find other ways
to serve the nation.

Mr. President!

Mr. President!

Oh, I found him!

- Come this way!
- Over here.

- It's Gyo-hun.
- Mr. Woo!

Mr. Woo.

- What do you have to say?
- Please explain!

Stop it!

MINISTER NOMINEE WOO GYO-HUN'S DAUGHTER
ARRESTED FOR DRUG CHARGES

Woo Hee-young, the daughter
of Justice Minister nominee Woo Gyo-hun

is under arrest for drug use.

The prosecution arrested Ms. Woo
and her party

at a VIP room of a club in Gangnam
last night.

Good work.

I have a question.

Why did you bring Mr. Woo down?

He doesn't know how to respect others.

Is that the only reason?

He's also incredibly arrogant.

Really?

I can't accept such a jerk

becoming the Minister of Justice.

Why? Do I need to have a better reason?

No.

Getting a Justice Minister nominee shunned
from society is easy

for someone like Sin-jin.

But where does that power come from?

Oh.

Do you still not want anything in return?

No, not yet.

Not yet?

I'll wait, then.

Oh.

You know Prosecutor Park Cheol-woo, right?

He moved to Seoul with you?

Yes.

You've even cracked down
on a case together.

Are you two close?

No, sir.

We just happened to work together once.

Is that so?

Glad to hear that.

I'm heading to Mr. Kang's office
right now.

My prosecutor instincts tell me
he wants to make a deal.

I'll need to see what he's offering.

Prosecutor Park is in danger.

DAEHAN CENTRAL PARTY
KANG JEONG-TAE'S DISTRICT OFFICE

Mr. Kang Jeong-tae?

Mr. Kang?

Jeong-tae seems to have contacted
Prosecutor Park.

It wasn't a coincidence
that Sin-jin called me.

Knowing he'll be at risk
once Mayor Chu rats him out.

That's just how it is in politics.

What do you think Prosecutor Park will do?

Team up with Jeong-tae?

Or not?

I really wonder

why you approached me.

Actually

I do want something in return.

Oh, you finally want something now?

There's only one way to save Mr. Park
and get through this situation.

Help me take down Justice Hwang Nam-yong.

What?

I approached you

because I wanted to take him down.

It's over now.

The court hereby orders
Defendant Lee Bong-seok

to one year and six months
of imprisonment.

The Defendant has one week to appeal

to the court's decision
from the day of the announcement.

If an appeal is not filed

the decision will be carried out
as announced.

Right, I remember that.

That was you.

I figured I'd need your power on my side

to get Justice Hwang.

So, that was why you dragged Gyo-hun down

as I asked.

I wanted to get on your good side.

People change for a reason.

Your change came
with a desire for revenge.

This is embarrassing.

Don't be ashamed
of your desire for revenge.

It's strength.

A motivation to strengthen yourself.

Would you have become

such a great judge
without your desire for revenge?

But you know

I was also one of the judges
in court that day.

Did you know that?

You were the associate on his right.

You must be mad at me, too, then.

Judge Hwang's ruling was

blatantly biased
in favor of S Construction.

The associates

both on the right and the left,
wouldn't have had a say in it.

I'm hungry.

CLOSED FOR THE DAY

I thought Mr. Kim Jin-han was

your only friend, Mr. Kang.

But you made another one.

Do we look close?

Gosh, I don't know what to say about that.

Mr. Kang is a good man.

Please be good to him.

This is my bribe.

It's good stuff.

- Thank you.
- Enjoy your food.

I was less than ten years old

when I left the orphanage
and became a literal beggar.

One day, I was rummaging
through a restaurant's garbage dump

when a woman covered in makeup
called me over.

That was the start of it all.

I started cleaning and running errands
for a high-end hostess bar

in exchange for food.

I made a whole lot of food

to raise Sin-jin.

Go ahead. Eat.

Let's taste the bribe, then.

You're right.

Nam-yong had ties

to Jang Tae-sik at S Construction
at that time.

And Tae-sik is now the CEO of S Shopping.

What's your plan now?

Corporations prioritize profit.

Whether it was right or wrong

Mr. Jang just did his best at his job.

However

Justice Hwang

went against his duty

to sentence my father to jail.

There will be a new Chief Justice soon.

Stay by my side,
and you'll see and hear a whole lot.

I can do it.

It's fine.

When the new Chief Justice is named

I'll toss Nam-yong to you.

Thank you, sir.

Anything else you're hiding from me?

No, sir.

Good, and it better stay that way.

I'll keep that in mind.

What are you doing?

Sorry?

She'll get mad
if you don't finish the food.

Oh.

It's like you've barely touched the food.

It's so tender and tasty.

DAEHAN CENTRAL PARTY
KANG JEONG-TAE'S DISTRICT OFFICE

Are you okay?

Am I?

I told you over the phone.

Mr. Kang...

Let's go together.

It could be a trap.

JUDGE LEE HAN-YOUNG
OF THE CHUNGNAM DISTRICT COURT

Where were you, then? You said you'd come.

I had dinner.

I almost choked to death!

And you were stuffing your face?

I told you we should come here together.
I said it could be a trap.

Why didn't you come if you thought so?

"Fieldwork is for prosecutors,
not for judges!"

You really...

You always have to have the last word!

My neck hurts so much.

Seriously...

I'm so glad you're alive.

You make it sound
like we're close friends or something.

What? I thought we were friends.
Was I wrong?

Stop it.

Call the police.

Just don't tell them I was here.

Why not?

How would you explain why I was here?

They might find out

that we colluded to bring Jeong-tae down.

Colluded? What do you mean?

I was just doing my job
as the prosecutor on this case.

I was the one who handed over Yong-jin.

And the kickback ledger.

Is this the police?

Oh, my gosh!

Hop in. I'll drive you to the junkyard.

- Really?
- No, let's just walk!

You can't get stuck in traffic.

There's no traffic yet.

- Right?
- No!

Just go to work now.

A judge can't be late to work.

Aren't I right, honey?

You're right.
A judge shouldn't embarrass himself.

People bring everything to the junk yard.

Why not an old car?

Should I get you a car?

Forget it. You don't make that much.

See you later!

Boss, are you heading to work?

Do you want me to get you a bicycle?

Forget it.

- Let's go.
- You should walk more.

Give me whatever proof or witness you have
against Tae-sik.

You still think you can use
proof or a witness

to arrest Tae-sik?

You arrested him in an emergency arrest
and let him go.

Did you do that because you lacked proof?

I didn't arrest Woo Hee-young

just because you told me to.

I was ordered to arrest her, anyway.

With a trash bag or something?

How did you know that?

I told you I was the mastermind behind it.

A no-name judge getting
the whole prosecution in action?

You expect me to believe that?

Who's got your back, really?

Do they also have the prosecution
in their hands?

Yeah, I may have planned all of this

but someone did order me to do it.

Who?

He tampers with evidence,
removes witnesses

and takes bribes to rule
in favor of people in court.

They must be behind Tae-sik
being released, too, then.

Tell me who it is.

He's the devil of the Judiciary.

You'll need to put your life on the line

and get to the very bottom of it

if you choose to take them on.

You getting out?

Defendant Chu Yong-jin

used Taemyeong Construction
under his power

to illegally secure
publicly-funded projects

and carry out substandard work.

Had I gotten Jeong-tae in my hand

I would've made your life a bed of roses.

Why don't you have some?

You can eat it all.

My dear Jeong-tae.

He was going to die for nothing, anyway.

Why did he have to give me
such a hard time

to rake in all that money?

Both with Taemyeong Construction
and the slush funds

my only crime is that I did as I was told.

In the end, the dead can't speak.

I'll have your back

all through the investigations.

Let's be a good team, alright?

I hear you know him.

Wow, it smells nice in here.

Nice to be alive and eating, huh?

Hmm?

don't you dare lay a finger on him,
or else...

You!

Have a seat.

Who the hell are you?

To start, go to the prosecution
for your investigation.

We've met in court.

You fooled me
into thinking you were a loanshark.

Defendant Chu Yong-jin.

Who killed Mr. Kang Jeong-tae?

- And why?
- No idea.

It wasn't me.

You've given him almost ten billion won.

Did Jeong-tae really spend it alone?

They cut Jeong-tae off

after seeing you side
with the prosecution.

To make sure it doesn't get to them.

It's all done, then.

No, my trial only begins now.

The sinkhole in the Nammyeon District.

The sinkhole was caused

by Taemyeong Construction's poor work.

And the real mastermind
behind Taemyeong is Chu Yong-jin.

And Chu Yong-jin

threatened the bereaved family
of a dead victim

to sign a settlement.

Oh, let's leave out the 100 million won
you paid.

You coerced them to settle
without even paying them.

Why would I admit to that?

Or the press will immediately report

on how you delivered slush funds
to Kang Jeong-tae

and how you'll tell the prosecution

about where the funds went.

Then, how long would it take

for them
to try to choke you to death again?

I didn't do any of that.

Right.

But when the media says so,
that's what everyone will believe.

Are you

taking his side right now?

The bastard whose son died
in the sinkhole?

Yeah.

But he's not a bastard.
He’s a grieving father!

A grieving father!

I know.

And I feel terrible about it.

You think I expected such an accident?

I'll give them more compensation

and sincerely apologize to them.

- So...
- Don't say anything.

Don't apologize

and don't act sad and apologetic
around people, either.

Don't even look down.

Show the world

who you really are.

Or else

you'll get strangled again.

The Defendant's greed did not stop there.

He ordered or allowed
substandard constructions

and blatantly ignored the people's safety

to make profit illegally.

This is an abuse of power,
occupational breach of trust

and coercion.

And unfortunately

this led to a death
of an innocent man in his twenties.

Not only that,
but he also tried to hide his wrongs

by coercing the victims to settle.

The Defendant sought personal gain

at the expense of an innocent life

which is unforgivable.

Therefore, the prosecution requests
Defendant Chu Yong-jin

to be imprisoned for ten years

with a fine of five billion won.
That is all.

You know who killed Assemblyman Kang,
don't you?

No.

The day he died

you warned me, saying it could be a trap.

Doesn't that mean you knew something?

No, I was just trying to warn you.

Liar.

The prosecution did a search and seizure
of Taemyeong Construction

which exposed a corrupt politician
who had no regard for people's lives.

The investigation team stated

that Taemyeong received
large sums of money in rebate

in the process of securing public projects

and that they completely ignored
safety regulations.

Amidst the growing anger and sadness
in public

people are still visiting the sinkhole

to pay respect to the young man

who died in the unfortunate incident.

SAFETY FIRST

BAMTOL, I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY IN HEAVEN

Thank you.

REST IN PEACE, MR. HEO MIN-GU

My son can finally rest in peace.

I hope your hearts can also be at peace.

I'm sure

Min-gu wants that for you, too.

I looked into Mayor Chu's case,
as you asked.

The investigation on the slush fund
stopped at Mr. Kang Jeong-tae.

Whatever big hand is behind this

I guess even a third-term politician was
merely a pawn.

He's the devil of the Judiciary.

You'll need to put your life on the line.

Judge Lee.

Seems like you've already put your life
on the line.

On today's agenda, we have the selection
of the next Chief Justice.

Unfortunately

the President one-sidedly nominated
Jeon Heung-woo

which has brought chaos to the Judiciary.

It's about time we get rid of him.

Since this is about the Judiciary...

I'd like to suggest
Justice Hwang Nam-yong.

What about the confirmation hearing?

It went smoothly
when he was a Justice nominee.

Don't make him into another Gyo-hun.

I'll make sure.

Sir.

Chairman Jang Yong-hyeon will be
over the moon

if Nam-yong becomes the Chief Justice.

They've been making deals
for over 20 years, right?

And CEO Jang Tae-sik as well,
since his days at S Construction.

Like father, like son.
They're milking him for two generations.

If Nam-yong becomes the Chief Justice

you'll get to choose the Chairperson
and the Election Commissioners

for the National Election Commission.

As I should.

Oh, is Gyo-hun still out there?

Mr. Kang.

Your daughter will be released
on probation.

Is that what His Excellency wants?

You'll be under investigation

for allegations of stock parking.

What?

A civic group filed a complaint about it,
after all.

That was just for formality!

The law is all about formality.

Rules created by humans
to respect the bare minimum.

I have to talk to His Excellency.

Don't bother.

Get out of my way.

What are you doing?

You want me to turn your daughter
into a drug dealer?

What did you just say?

How about stock price manipulation
instead of stock parking?

You little...

Why are you doing this to me?

Do you know
why your wife's drivers keep quitting?

I've learned people's backgrounds
don't always reflect their characters.

His Excellency has a message for you,
along with this.

"Going forward, whatever it is"

"there must not be a single mistake."

That's right.

Going forward is always the problem.

So, going forward, come when I call you

and leave

when I tell you.

Don't ask me any questions

about what I order you to do.

And don't make a single mistake.

Then, you'll get to protect

your precious little family

and keep your assemblyman badge
in the next election.

So...

Chief Justice Jeon Heung-woo.

Let's take him down.

SEOUL CENTRAL DISTRICT COURT

I'D LIKE TO EXPOSE
CHIEF JUSTICE JEON HEUNG-WOO

I DEMAND CHIEF JUSTICE JEON TO STEP DOWN

CHIEF JUSTICE JEON'S ONE-SIDED REFORM IS
A THREAT TO THE JUDICIARY

CHIEF JUSTICE JEON MUST STEP DOWN

STOP PURGING PEOPLE
AND LEAVE THE SUPREME COURT

DON'T STAY SILENT.
JOIN US IN TAKING DOWN CHIEF JUSTICE JEON

POST

YOUR JUNIOR JUDGES WON'T STAY SILENT.
THE SUPREME COURT ISN'T YOUR LAB.

CHIEF JUSTICE JEON, PLEASE LEAVE.
THE SUPREME COURT ISN'T YOUR PLAYGROUND.

CHIEF JUSTICE JEON HEUNG-WOO

SENIOR PRESIDING JUDGE KANG SIN-JIN

It caused quite a stir.

How's the press reacting?

I've contacted a few news outlets
facing lawsuits.

They'll publish
a wave of articles tomorrow.

He should go down in about a week or so.

He's tough. He grew up on the streets.

He could last a month,
even while barely hanging on.

Okay, I'll find another way, then.

No, there's no need to hurry.

Let's wear him down first
before we tear him apart.

Yes, sir.

Who's the next Chief Justice after him?

CHIEF JUSTICE JEON,
THE JUDICIARY IS NOT YOURS.

THIS WAS NOT THE REFORM WE WANTED.

CHIEF JUSTICE JEON DESTROYED
JUSTICE IN THE JUDICIARY.

I'D LIKE TO EXPOSE CHIEF JUSTICE JEON.

CHIEF JUSTICE JEON,
PLEASE LEAVE THE SUPREME COURT.

CHIEF JUSTICE JEON HEUNG-WOO

Chief Justice Jeon resigns

before the month is even over.

HWANG NAM-YONG

Who's going to replace him?

HWANG NAM-YONG

Justice Hwang Nam-yong.

Clear your schedule for tonight.

We need to go somewhere.

Yes, sir.

Yeah, it's Judge Lee.

I'm taking him to my meeting
with Nam-yong.

Mr. Kang

Judge Lee isn't one of us yet.

That's presumptuous of you again.

I know.

The only one I trust around here...

Do I really have to tell you?

Sorry, sir.

Call Seong-dae, the presiding judge.

He'll join us this evening.

Yes, sir.

CHIEF PROSECUTOR KIM JIN-HAN

Come in.

You wanted to see me?

Yeah, have a seat.

How's Judge Lee doing these days?

Oh.

He hasn't been up to much.

How is he with Yi-seok?

He's been called to his office
a few times.

- For what?
- Sorry?

Why was he summoned?

I'm not sure about that.

What do you think?

Does it look like Han-young is
on Yi-seok's side?

No, I doubt it.

But Yi-seok brought him to Seoul.

And he'll soon be
the Partner of Haenal's son-in-law.

Even so.

Han-young is such a nobody.

Watch him carefully.

How much did S Shopping pay you?

Three billion won.

Listen to the discussion carefully
and get on it.

Yes, sir.

My, my!

Sin-jin, it's been a real minute.

JUSTICE HWANG NAM-YONG

MANWOL

I knew it was time when you called me.

And when I saw the mess
on the court's intranet.

What do you get
out of my becoming Chief Justice?

I get the leader of the Judiciary

the Chief Justice on my side.

Is that right?

I become the Chief Justice,
and you gain one on your side.

That's a good deal for both of us.

But

there's no guarantee
that I won't become the next Heung-woo.

I was your associate back in the day.

I won't let that happen to you.

I'd better trust you, huh?

Of course.

Start by changing your car to a modest SUV

and sell all your stocks.

We'll make a few donations

under your name as well.

You live in Gangcheon Palace
in Gangnam, right?

Sell that and move
into a more humble apartment unit.

Seong-dae is here

to help you find a unit in Gangbuk
around 100 square meters.

There's so much to do.

Should I do anything?

The younger judges are determined

to overthrow Chief Justice Jeon.

Help them.

Okay.

It'd be a shame to set
a bad example to them.

Cheers.

Heung-woo will step down soon.

And I'll get Nam-yong to replace him.

As long as you toss him to me

as you promised.

How much do you trust me?

How much

do you trust me?

How audacious of you.

We can't bring Nam-yong to trial.

But we can take his judge's robe.

Ending a Chief Justice's career is tougher
than your father's experience

in prison.

Didn't you say

you've decided to make Nam-yong
the Chief Justice?

Exactly.

Which one of us do you think
can act faster?

I wonder.

Water.

Here.

What's this? A love letter?

Yeah, what else?

Is someone looking for a job?

JB DAEHAN CONSTRUCTION HIRING RESULTS

ALL FAILED APPLICANTS

Hey, this is...

The lowest score on the exam

but the highest score in the interview.

I'm not even surprised anymore.

Who's this Hwang Tae-seong guy?

The son of the judge

who was on my father's case 18 years ago.

What? Hey! Han-young!

The trial for Chu Yong-jin is now over.

Sorry for not staying on the case
all the way.

No, a new indictment needs a new trial,
after all.

He was exposed for using violence
against the victims.

You didn't have a choice.

Yes, good call.

And good job.

I'll continue to work harder.

Do you

still hang out often
with Sin-jin these days?

And eat together?

I'm just worried.

He has a bad reputation.

Not only do we eat together

but we even drink together.

What?

Is that all?

He said he'd get me anything

as long as I did as I was told.

See?

He's a very risky man to be around.

Get you everything? How?

Never hang out with him again.

Why are you quiet?

I already told him

what I wanted.

- What?
- What is it?

What is it that you want from Sin-jin?

Sorry.

What? Why are you sorry?

Tell him right now.

Sorry.

I noticed that you got a new car.

Is that what you wanted from Sin-jin?
A new car?

No, I financed the new car myself.

Are you lying to us now?

Hey!

Maybe work on your lying skills
before you try to lie.

I guess this is the end of our friendship.

See you again.

This is the only chance

to hunt Yi-seok,
the tiger of the Judiciary.

THE JUDGE RETURNS

Lee Seong-dae's huge debt
came around this time.

No! My 400 million won!

International investment frauds are
in Gangnam now.

How can you make money off scammers?

They build trust with you
by offering low interest rates

for about three months.

You cast the bait yourself

so hunt him yourself, too.

Whether it's legal or illegal.

I'll do it my way.

If things go wrong later,
we won’t be able to deal with it.

Will you let me in
if I put my life on the line?

- What? The prosecution?
- We've been tipped off

about some investment frauds around here.

They just got on the elevator.

Hurry!
