THE JUDGE RETURNS

EPISODE 12

Please open your arms.

Your phone, please.

Please follow me.

Hello, sir.

We've met, haven't we?

Yes.

I heard you'd be taking Tae-sik's case in court.

That's new to me.

You'll hear about it soon enough.

The limit is 500 million won per year.

I'd like you to sentence him to five years in prison.

And he'll get the three-and-five sentence in the appeals trial.

A three-year sentence, suspended for five.

That's nothing new, you know?

Unless you want to check how I spend every penny of this

you can give the money to me in cash after the trial.

No need to leave traces.

Have a good day.

My phone, please.

I met Mr. Jang Yong-hyeon.

He told me to sentence Tae-sik to five years in jail

while handing a credit card with a 500 million won limit.

He can be so impatient.

Five years in the first trial

and three years in prison with five years on suspension in the next.

That's the magic formula for conglomerates.

- So? - Tae-sik's case involves

a few hundred billion won with the illicit loans and slush funds.

It's not a case to be handled by a single-judge criminal court.

I didn't answer him, as I didn't have your permission yet.

Tae-sik will soon be indicted while in custody.

A panel of judges will take on the case, so sort it out there.

Don't worry about the lead judge.

Conduct a legal review and finalize the sentencing order.

Oh, you might as well be promoted to a Presiding Judge for this.

But I'm not sure

how long his sentence should be.

Sin-jin has no interest in giving Yong-hyeon what he wants.

Give me an answer, and that'll be my verdict.

Didn't you hear me?

I thought I'd already answered you.

I'll follow the law.

But wouldn't that cause issues?

Don't look for justice through questions and debates.

Show me your justice

the equity and common sense

that everyone knows in their hearts.

I was going to get rid of them all

once I became the leader of Suojae, anyway.

You may go.

Yes, sir.

Have you decided?

Mr. Jang has more accounts under an alias, aside from those at Jeongdaun.

I'll give you half of the funds there.

So, 20 billion won. But promise me...

I'll be safe

after all this.

Of course.

Tell Yong-hyeon

exactly what he wants to hear.

Let Tae-sik take the fall for the slush funds

but you take care of the illicit loans

without Tae-sik hearing about them.

Think of it as being extra loyal.

Come on.

Open an account.

I'll give you a bonus.

Sir...

I might lose my license to practice law.

You don't earn much with that license, anyway.

I'm your pot of gold, not your license.

Me, Jang Yong-hyeon.

Trust me.

Judge Lee has been assigned to the case

and Mr. Kang told him to sentence Tae-sik to five years in jail.

As he should.

Make sure your testimony matches

that of the loan officer at Jeongdaun Savings.

And make sure Tae-sik isn't involved in the illicit loans.

- You know what I mean? - Yes, sir.

You're basically family to S Group now.

Congratulations.

- Thank you, sir. - Sure.

We're representing Mr. Jang, the CEO of S Shopping, in court.

Han-young will be on the panel of judges.

He may be an associate judge

but he'll dictate the verdict.

Make a team and take on Tae-sik's case.

Me?

- Really? - Why are you so surprised?

It's about time you get some experience.

Maybe start dressing up, too.

Are you on the panel of judges for Mr. Jang's trial?

Haenal Law Firm is really in on all the secrets.

Of course.

Dad wants me to make a team to represent him.

Eat up. It's on me today.

If this is your bribe for Mr. Jang's case, I don't want it.

Have you already forgotten about my help with the Miracle scam?

You asked for a meal at my house in return for your help

which you got.

That means neither of us owes anything to each other, Ms. Yu.

Fine.

I get it.

But why do you keep calling me "Ms. Yu"? It's like we're strangers.

Are you distancing yourself from me?

Seriously.

I just want to...

Gosh, I wish I could just punch you once.

Just one punch, please?

Why? Was the slap on our first date not enough?

I should've hit you more then.

Don't take Tae-sik's case.

I've already agreed to take it.

Mr. Kang is behind Han-young joining the panel of judges.

He's got S Group's back.

It'll just be a five-year sentence in prison

so just don't mess up.

Aren't you sentencing him to five years in jail?

We'll bust S Group entirely

starting from Tae-sik to his father's slush funds.

We're shaking up the whole conglomerate, so don't get involved.

Really?

Yes, Lee Han-young speaking.

I made Yi-seok the Chief Justice, as you suggested.

Looks like you'll soon have the Chief Justice as your legal advisor.

Congratulations.

I once ran

like there was no tomorrow.

Are you a professional runner?

No.

If you're not a professional

why are you running so hard?

What?

I couldn't answer him.

I didn't know why I was running so hard.

And I definitely didn't know when to stop or where I was.

But I started living a different life

and finally realized why I had to keep running.

I know why I have to keep running now.

To become a better person

for my family

and the person I love.

And for myself.

What kind of a life

did you live before?

Someone said

I was garbage.

"Garbage"?

Come on. There's no way.

Don't take Tae-sik's case.

Let your brother or sister take it. Let them be greedy.

Is it

really that bad of a case?

What do you want to do

once the law firm becomes yours?

Well...

That's...

Why didn't I think of that?

Let's go.

Let's run!

SEOUL CENTRAL DISTRICT PROSECUTORS' OFFICE

LETTER OF INDICTMENT YOU ARE INDICTED AS STATED BELOW

PRINT

CHIEF PROSECUTOR KANG JI-HWAN

DETAILS REGARDING THE DEFENDANT

What's this?

He takes money from elders who collect scraps

and kids who collect every penny they get

for his drinking parties every night.

Don't you know giving non-profits a bad rep like this

makes people stop donating, even to good charities?

Think of it as an opportunity cost for our society and stop here.

Our society?

For whom in our society?

A significant portion of the donations goes

to a borrowed-name account of an unidentified person.

I told you to stop, alright?

Do you get a share of the donations, too?

Cheol-woo!

Do you want to get fired right now?

You want me to leave you with absolutely nothing?

Why can't you just say it's not true?

It's not true, you bastard!

Who gets the money, then?

Why are you asking me?

Get this out of my face

unless you want to get fired right now.

Our country's prosecution is rotten.

Why? Were you told you'd be fired?

- Did you spy on me? - I didn't need to.

Here comes another one.

Daejin Daily says

we can't publish a word about this.

And the reporters from other agencies ran the minute I mentioned the foundation.

They don't want to tackle Seonjin because Gwang-to is the face.

Does that make any sense to you?

Those who don't know what Gwang-to is really like think

he's just a kind, former President who always thinks of his people.

Cheer up. You knew it wasn't going to work.

- No, I didn't! - No, I didn't!

I was sure we could do this.

We found fraudulent ledgers!

How can we not investigate it?

Did you tell us to do this, knowing we'd fail?

Did you really?

The corrupt are resilient. It only hardens under outside pressure.

To break it, we have to trigger a fracture from the inside.

Now that they know the press and the prosecution are on it

they'll start to get on it, too.

Then, once they realize

things aren't going as they'd expected

they'll start to split up.

Then, the corrupt will finally break.

You used us as baits.

He definitely did.

I guess I'm the hook.

Are you the worm?

- Don't put it like that. - No, krill.

I don't know how he got it

but Prosecutor Park has

the Seonjin Foundation's fraudulent ledgers.

I don't think he's going to stop.

We should've gotten rid of him when we got rid of Jeong-tae.

It'll get messy if he keeps this up.

Should we get on it now?

I hear Cheol-woo is asking to investigate the foundation.

If anything happens now, the whole world will watch them.

We have no choice

but to face it.

We've never met, have we?

No, but I know who you are.

There's an opportunity cost

to establishing justice.

Does it also cost people's lives?

That's not nice.

I didn't know there was a price tag to achieving justice.

What's justice to you, Mr. Park?

Arresting all bad guys, no matter what.

That's what justice is to me.

I like how simple it is.

You want to strike the Seonjin Foundation? I can help you.

Arrest the Chairman for embezzlement and breach of trust.

Would that establish justice for you?

He's using the Chairman as a sacrifice for the foundation.

What do you think?

Let's accept the sacrifice first, as Sin-jin wants.

And then?

We'll sprinkle salt before the wound heals.

Kwak Sang-cheol, the opposition party's hitman.

He's known as the "crazy dog"

for all his bluntly honest whistleblowing and slander.

Mr. Lee Han-young?

Thank you for coming.

The future son-in-law of Haenal wants to discuss party nominations.

Who would say no to that?

I'm guessing it's not for free.

I need you to attack someone.

I guess Haenal has an enemy?

No, this has nothing to do with the law firm.

The target is

Park Gwang-to, the former President.

Are you out of your mind?

Your ammo is corruption in the Seonjin Happiness Foundation.

Mr. Former President isn't a man

who will fall with just one shot.

But he'll reek of blood where the bullet hits him.

And that's enough for me.

Oh, so

I'll leave him a scar, and you'll rip it open?

Okay, I see what you want now.

How can you guarantee that my party will nominate me?

You'll be the hitman of the opposition

who uncovers the former President's misconduct.

That'll earn you all the popularity to become a presidential candidate.

What?

So, I have to do all the work to get what I want?

But I'll give you all the tools for the job.

ACCOUNTING LEDGER

Wow.

This is some consistent effort

involving some big money.

I know.

You know

I always wished I'd gone to school.

So, I collected scraps and sold them to save money.

I donated that to the Seonjin Happiness Foundation

in hopes that it'll help students who can't afford education.

But look at this.

My gosh.

They took that money

to drink at hostess bars

for millions of won a night!

How can this be real?

Unbelievable...

MR. PARK GWANG-TO! WHAT'S YOUR CONNECTION TO THE FOUNDATION?

I can't believe it.

I've been fooled. Unbelievable.

PRESS CONFERENCE FOR KANG YEONG-BEOM, WHO DONATED TO THE FRAUDULENT NON-PROFIT

MR. PARK GWANG-TO! WHAT'S YOUR CONNECTION TO THE FOUNDATION?

It takes a cart full of scraps

to make 10,000 won

at the junkyard.

Mr. Kang worked tirelessly for that money

only for all of it to be spent on the Chairman's night of drinking.

Not only do I feel enraged

but more than that, I also feel Mr. Kang's despair and pain.

Therefore

I'd like to ask Mr. Park Gwang-to, the former President.

Mr. Park

what's your connection to the Seonjin Happiness Foundation?

Each month, 10% of the donations are seen

getting withdrawn to a borrowed-name account.

Does that account belong to you?

Bang!

Who owns the borrowed-name account

that takes 10% of all donations?

Answer me, Mr. Park.

To whom does the account belong?

- Whose account is it? - Answer us!

I'm sorry.

Mr. President!

I'm so deeply sorry...

- Come here. - Yes, sir.

I'm sorry. I can't believe what I've done.

Damn you!

I'm sorry.

What's your plan?

The Deputy Prosecutor General is on our side

so you won't get an arrest warrant.

And the press?

Don't worry.

Every news agency has some sort of a lawsuit.

Sang-cheol, that crazy bastard!

I should've gotten rid of him sooner!

When the time is right

beat him and skin him.

Yes, sir.

It's Mr. Do, my assistant.

- Pick it up! - Yes, sir.

Hey, it's me.

What?

They're doing a search and seizure.

- A search and seizure? - Yes, sir.

Hang up, you bastard!

Mr. Kang!

Mr. Kang...

What's going on?

Take everything from there.

There's a second floor, right?

This is the prosecution.

We're doing a search and seizure of the Seonjin Happiness Foundation.

Please cooperate with us.

Stay calm and collect everything.

Please stop.

- This is mine. - Please stop it.

What's going on?

Is the Deputy Prosecutor General crazy?

Call him right now. Hurry.

It's the Deputy Prosecutor General.

What?

This morning, the prosecution did a search and seizure

of the Seonjin Happiness Foundation and seven of its facilities

to investigate alleged corruptions.

Chairman Kang Sun-cheol of the foundation is

- under an arrest warrant - Are you kidding?

- breach of trust and embezzlement. - Pass it.

According to the prosecution...

Hey! What the hell do you think you're doing?

Take back the arrest warrant right now

and stop the search and seizure of my foundation!

What?

Who?

The President's order?

The former President, Park Gwang-to, is allegedly involved in land speculation.

This morning

the prosecution received government documents

about Hanyang City's plans to clear the green belt for development.

According to the investigation

the former President got tipped during his term

and purchased

some land in Hanyang in advance.

And a part of the money came

from the borrowed-name account connected to Seonjin...

I'm sorry.

Why do something you know is wrong?

Damn it!

Please forgive me, sir.

Allegations of leaking the documents regarding Hanyang City's development plans

have led to questions of every politician's involvement.

The prosecution announced its discovery of 12 lots of land in Hanyang

purchased by Mr. Park Gwang-to and his acquaintances.

Just two months ago

the government announced that this area would be...

Sin-jin

it's your time to shine now.

Do whatever you want.

Whatever!

I can't believe Mr. Park has been summoned for questioning.

It can't get crazier than that.

That's great for Mr. Jang Tae-sik.

The world will forget about him and focus on this.

You sure you won't regret it?

Yeah, I don't want an easy case from the start.

It's boring.

Right?

I know you don't like boring stuff.

Start by going to law school if you want to take on real cases.

Jin-gwang, you can form your team for Mr. Jang's case.

Okay!

We've already talked to Judge Lee, so no need to talk to him.

Gosh.

Nam-yong came to see me.

He mentioned you and Judge Lee.

Why did you do that?

You were the one who suggested me to nominate Nam-yong

as the next Chief Justice.

Our plans were all ruined by his son turning himself in.

Had it not been for his son

he would've become the Chief Justice.

I won't ask about Judge Lee and his little revenge.

But you know

if, by any chance

this affects me in any way

you'll be in trouble, too.

You're the leader of Suojae.

Suojae can only survive if you do.

The Seoul Central District Court.

Be in charge of it.

A Senior Presiding Judge won't be enough

to save me from any trouble.

Come in.

Does he look like a traitor to you?

You've chosen him to be your sidekick. Trust him.

He has dark intentions

just like everyone else coming in and out of here.

Okay

how about this one?

He doesn't look like the traitor type.

Hmm?

Who knew this issue would get so big?

Didn't expect my chance to come so soon.

PROSECUTION SERVICE

You can sit there.

Sorry, our hands were tied by the press.

Man, this is exhausting.

It'll take some time.

I know that much, too.

Does 2 a.m. sound good?

Yes, sir. Once again, I apologize.

CHOI DA-EUN, MISSING OH MIN-SU, DEAD FROM A HEART ATTACK

Nobody lives there.

Doesn't Ms. Han Gi-hyeon live here? The teenager in high school.

She died last year.

Got hit by a car.

Sorry?

Excuse me.

Why are you going to every empty home? Aren't you a reporter?

Doesn't Ms. Han Jong-hui, the college student, live here?

College student?

Right.

She would've been in college, had she been alive.

Are you saying...

Mr. Lee, Seonjin seems to have used the names of the dead and missing

to make borrowed-name accounts.

So, we were right.

Good work.

This is Mr. Park Gwang-to's driver.

Sorry, I'm late.

You ordered for me?

Thank you!

Oh, sorry.

One more extra big soup, please!

Coming!

This is a photo of Gwang-to's driver withdrawing money from a borrowed account.

But we can't be 100% sure of that.

Of course, it's probably 100% true.

Why don't we have news agencies question it?

That'll be good.

Right on.

Yes, there we go.

Go!

Oh, no.

Man!

I guess it's over.

What time is it?

It's 1:20 a.m.

Do I have to stay here until 2 a.m.?

Let's just go.

Sorry.

You'll have to stay a bit longer.

What?

Ridiculous.

Get out of my way.

Come on. Get out.

You've just gone from a witness to a suspect.

An arrest warrant has been filed

for allegations of you being the owner

of Seonjin's borrowed-name accounts.

Huh?

The call cannot be connected. Please leave a voicemail...

The National Court Administration nominated someone

for the Chief Judge position that I left.

It must be Sin-jin.

That's right.

What are your thoughts?

Appoint him.

And why should I do that?

Gwang-to must've nominated Sin-jin as the Chief Judge

so he could save him.

But Sin-jin won't use the new power

to save Gwang-to.

Instead, he'll use it for himself.

Oh

and did you say

Gwang-to is taking shelter at Suojae?

Yes, sir.

Sin-jin wants to be the new leader there.

This fight will definitely kill

one or the other.

Regardless of who survives

he'll walk away with a deep scar.

CHIEF JUDGE KANG SIN-JIN

There will be a meeting at Suojae today.

Both of you must come.

Yes, sir.

Mr. President is incapacitated.

We need to take action right now.

And so, I've invited the Deputy Chief Prosecutor

who's acting as the Deputy Prosecutor General.

I've also asked Mr. Woo Gyo-hun, the Chair of the Judiciary Committee

for help.

Congratulations on becoming the Chief Judge.

Any support from To's Club?

They're providing monetary support through borrowed-name accounts.

We need some help from corporations, too.

I'll find a way.

The opposition will demand an independent counsel for Mr. President.

Beat them to it

and create an independent counsel

to make a narrative to counter their counsel.

Yes, sir.

We must stop them

from making an independent counsel.

Yes, we'll do that.

Sin-jin looks like someone we can really count on, doesn't he?

The way he quickly finds solutions and that intelligence!

You're right.

But shouldn't we also consider the worst-case scenario?

What do you mean?

Mr. President will return

no matter what.

Of course.

But we have to think of all possibilities.

We have to prepare for the worst at all times.

Don't you agree?

Man...

Let's grab a drink.

Bring the files.

Whether it be about my slush funds or illicit loans

I'll tell you everything.

I hear you guys have to fight for the biggest cases

for promotions and success, too.

You could've just told me that

if that was what you wanted.

We wouldn't have had to waste so much time, then.

What do you say?

Why don't you join my side now?

Watch your mouth.

This is the last chance I'm giving you

Ms. Pretty Prosecutor.

The last chance?

For whom?

No need to give me such a scary look. It's intimidating.

So, you don't want to take my offer?

Sure, then.

Goodbye, you crazy bitch.

Jerk.

TAE-SIK HAS BEEN DETAINED

Tae-sik has been

detained.

Han-young, join the panel of judges.

And immediately get promoted to a Presiding Judge.

Thank you, sir.

Oh, and the chair I was using

in my old office is uncomfortable.

I'll get you a new one.

Thank you, Mr. Kang.

Updates on Tae-sik?

I went to the detention center

and he admitted to the charges.

As you said

it seems that his father is sacrificing him.

Anything else?

Just nonsense, you know.

He offered me the last chance for me to join his side or whatever.

I was so close to throwing a punch at him.

I regret having held back.

Where are you? I'm almost there.

Me too.

- See you soon. - Okay.

I thought Tae-sik would use that week

to harm Prosecutor Kim.

Is it decaf?

Okay?

He's at the driving range all day.

It's like he wants to go pro before he goes to jail.

But Tae-sik didn't do anything in that one week.

Why did he need a week, then?

Just nonsense, you know.

He offered me the last chance for me to join his side or whatever.

A chance?

I was so close to throwing a punch at him.

I regret having held back.

The last chance?

PROSECUTOR KIM JIN-A AT THE CENTRAL PROSECUTORS' OFFICE

PROSECUTOR KIM JIN-A JUDGE LEE HAN-YOUNG

The last chance... That means

Tae-sik just needed a week

to plot Ms. Kim's murder.

That means

Tae-sik is at the detention center

waiting for Ms. Kim to die.

Someone to send

Prosecutor Kim Jin-a far, far away.

And as a farewell...

No.

Oh, my phone.

Shh!

Goodbye, you crazy bitch.

Goodbye, you crazy bitch.

Did Tae-sik tell you to kill me now?

That's too bad.

I can't die yet.

Are you okay?

Oh, gosh.

I'm fine.

Are you?

Oh.

I definitely broke

Tae-sik's back.

You okay?

Thank you.

Jin-a!

- What's wrong with him? - Hey!

Mr. Park...

What's with you?

That bastard!

Are you alright?

Yeah.

Are you hurt?

Don't be so dramatic.

I'm fine!

Let's head in.

What took you guys so long?

You were the last one to come!

Let's just go.

What a weirdo.

Thank goodness the scar isn't so deep.

I guess so.

I get why he kept yapping about my last chance.

So, he needed a week before detainment

to find an assassin?

Suojae is starting to fall apart after Gwang-to's arrest.

Sin-jin will jump at this chance

and try to take over Suojae.

I guess the real power struggle begins now.

The internal conflict will be a great chance for us.

Can we kill them?

- No. - Fine.

I'm Byeon Jae-yeong

Mr. Jang Tae-sik's assistant and attorney at S Shopping.

The reason

I'm here today is...

I'm here today, because...

You're sure

I'll be safe, right?

Mr. Kang, the Chief Judge

directly promised to keep me safe. You know that, right?

You bitch. You've lived for too long.

My eyes opened at the crack of dawn.

I couldn't wait to see you.

Defendant Jang Tae-sik

used a paper company

to get an illicit loan of 120 billion won

and hid 50 billion won in slush funds

at Jeongdaun Savings Bank.

Hey, didn't Byeon say he'd take the blame

for the illicit loans?

Why isn't he here?

I'm sure he's on his way.

What's taking him so damn long?

The Defendant came clean to me

regarding his slush funds.

Does the Defendant agree?

Yes, he vows to provide full restitution

for the illegally-acquired profits.

Yeah, I promise, alright?

Just give me five years in jail so I can move on to the appeals.

Where's Byeon, this bastard?

Your Honor

the Defendant is entirely denying

all allegations regarding the illicit loans.

Accordingly, I'd like to move to call an additional witness

to prove the counts of the indictment.

I object, as we did not agree on this witness prior to the trial.

What should we do about the witness?

It is mandatory

for the prosecutor to discuss and settle all relevant evidence and witnesses

with the Defendant and his attorney in advance.

However, the Court may assess and agree on evidence and witnesses

in necessary and urgent circumstances.

Your Honor!

Will the prosecutor tell me more about the witness?

He's a witness of the Defendant's loan of 120 billion won, taken out illegally.

That means

the witness is necessary and urgently needed.

Your Honor!

The request for the witness is granted.

What's going on?

Isn't he on our side?

The witness won't come to speak in court today.

However...

LOCATION TRACKING

- What? - I'm Byeon Jae-yeong

- What is he doing there? - Mr. Jang Tae-sik's assistant

and attorney at S Shopping.

What the hell is going on?

A new witness will come forward in Tae-sik's trial.

I've talked to the prosecution

so grant the request for the witness.

I've come to clarify

that Mr. Jang Tae-sik ordered me to get the illicit loans

at Jeongdaun Savings Bank.

However, something sits heavy in my heart, and I'd like to make a confession here.

Dad probably has some slush funds at Jeongdaun, right?

He wants to sacrifice me

because he doesn't want anyone to mess with that.

I can't let anyone take that money.

That'll all be mine one day.

Fine. I'll take one for the team.

Hey, Dad.

What are you doing? Stop them!

Make her turn that off!

It's too late.

This is where you need to listen up.

That bastard!

- Hey, Byeon. - Yes?

Find someone.

What for?

Someone to send

Prosecutor Kim Jin-a far, far away.

And as a farewell...

Goodbye, you crazy bitch.

Please sentence the Defendant to 20 years in jail

and a fine of 20 billion won.

Please also order a forfeiture of 170 billion won.

JUDGE

DEFENDANT

And in a few days

he'll be detained once again for instigating the murder

of the prosecutor who detained him.

All of this is a lie!

That prosecutor bitch is lying about everything!

What the hell are you doing?

You're a lawyer, too!

He's the same man from the past life.

Let go!

GOODBYE, YOU CRAZY BASTARD

Ms. Kim hasn't changed, either.

COURT

Dad

I put Tae-sik in jail today.

Aren't you proud?

Meanwhile, the prosecution found

slush funds of Jang Yong-hyeon, the Chairman of S Group

in its investigation of Jeongdaun Savings for Mr. Jang Tae-sik's slush funds.

The prosecution is focused

on the possibility of Chairman Jang

hiding huge wealth using borrowed-name accounts and affiliates.

The prosecution may extend the investigation

to the whole Jang family.

Things are looking pretty terrible right now.

You need to give us more time.

This is the prosecution.

Mr. Jang Yong-hyeon

you're under emergency arrest

on charges of creating slush funds, tax evasion, bribery

and violations of the Political Fund Act.

Here comes Mr. Jang Yong-hyeon.

The enemies will start striking back now.

Okay, got it.

SEOUL CENTRAL DISTRICT PROSECUTORS' OFFICE

Who's behind this?

Why does that matter?

You thought you'd be fine after messing with S Group?

If you don't want to get fired, go.

- Right now. - On it.

EMPLOYEE PASS FOR KIM JIN-A SUPREME PROSECUTORS' OFFICE

Come in.

May I?

No need to pity me.

I'm excited to leave.

I know. But where are you going?

Hyenam or something.

Maybe it's a vacation for doing so well.

I won't wait long, okay?

We still have a lot to get done.

- You need help? - I'd appreciate it.

Please pack this.

Is it for leaking case files?

Can you not always get it right?

I saw it coming the moment I gave Ms. Song

the photo from the security camera footage.

No need to feel sorry... Why...

- Here... - Come on.

It's okay. It looks cute.

I can't believe I look like a panda.

Where are you off to?

I thought you knew everything.

I hear Ms. Kim is going to Hyenam. You, too?

They both hate us, so no.

I'm not telling you where I'm going. Don't call me, okay?

You're not going to tell me? Okay.

You're just leaving now? That's just disappointing.

Wherever you're going, you'll be back soon, anyway.

- Huh? - See you soon.

But I...

So, if I'm coming back...

I...

Gosh.

Good work.

Didn't I tell you

I'd bring you back to Suojae as soon as possible?

Alright.

Congratulations

on your safe return, Mr. President.

THE JUDGE RETURNS

Sin-jin's rebellion has begun.

Call a meeting at Suojae tonight.

We'll get rid of it if it looks problematic.

I never trusted you from the start.

You don't have anywhere to run.

So, we'll have to give what Sin-jin wants.

He killed a man!

So, you approached me for me.

I think I'm getting blamed.

This is the last chance.

It won't take long.

I was ready to go all the way when I started, anyway.
