PREVIOUSLY

I'm closer to a problem solver.

The best problem solver with a lawyer's license.

You're not always right just because you're a judge.

I'm a lawyer.

Are you the boss here?

You illegal loan shark bastard!

It means "to fight."

We fight with the law and win cases for clients, Lawless Lawyer.

ALWAYS GO STRAIGHT

Therefore, I find the defendant not guilty.

Chairman Ahn is no longer a gangster like you.

He's a businessman,

an entrepreneur.

-What's the charge on the suspect? -Murder.

He's a suspect of Mayor Lee Young-su's murder.

Detective Wu Hyung-man.

I'll help you get out of here.

Can't you call me mom, like you used to?

Mom.

I'm sure you can handle it.

-As the mayor of Ki Seong. -It's a great honor!

Gwan-dong, it sounds like you're bitter.

-Do what you want. -What? Who are you?

LAWYER BONG SANG-PIL

You disgusting thugs.

I'm going to charge you for danger pay. You better prepare it.

So…

he won't rescue me?

Did you forfeit the trial?

I didn't forfeit the trial.

Well, Mike Tyson once said this.

"Everyone has a plausible plan.

Until their heads are planted on the ground

after they take my punch."

-Are you okay? -Is this real?

Are you Sang-pil?

Sang-pil!

This fight

will be our fight from now on, Jae-yi.

We found it.

What should we do with the lawyer and her son?

Kill them both.

I don't trust the living.

Who are you?

I'm Lawyer Bong Sang-pil.

The trial starts now.

Judge Cha Moon-sook.

Guards, arrest all those who were involved immediately.

Never in my life have I seen this court

in such a wreck!

Mr. Bong, please explain why you are late.

Mr. Bong saw me in trouble

on his way to the trial, and…

I want to hear directly from the lawyer, and not his paralegal.

Yes, Your Honor.

Those who didn't want me to be present today came at…

May I take this slowly?

Your Honor.

The attorney's bleeding badly.

May he be quickly treated in the infirmary?

Let's take a break.

It's all done.

You're lucky the cuts aren't deep.

I see. Thank you.

There's blood here too.

I knew it, you overdid yourself.

I wanted to fight by the law, so I let my fists rest for a while,

and I lost my touch.

I think action suits you better than the law books.

But lawyers are the ones

who come to rescue when a client is in trouble.

Like an action hero.

So why did those gangsters kidnap me?

I told you, didn't I?

You'll go through lots of trouble with me.

Well, I've had enough for today with that action film.

So I hope there's no more coming.

What?

Is there more during the trial?

During the trial,

I'll be arrested.

What? You'll…

You'll be arrested?

The trial will resume soon.

Yes, coming.

At least I got lucky with my judge, not the lawyer.

If you do okay, she'll rule fairly.

So please.

-Get your act together! -Judge Cha Moon-sook

is now entering.

-All rise. -Do you really think so?

You don't know who she really is?

What?

Please take your seats.

You really know nothing, do you?

Let's resume the trial.

Your Honor.

Before we start,

I have a request.

-What is it? -I'd like to have

the judge replaced.

You were 30 minutes late to the trial,

and this is the first thing you say as soon as you come into court?

Yes.

I motion to recuse the trial judge.

Is that so?

Let's hear your reasons.

But if these reasons are not justifiable,

you will be duly penalized.

Please come forward.

Of the judges standing before me,

there is one disgraceful judge

who has demeaned the court

and lowered the judiciary's dignity.

And who might this be?

I prepared a little something.

Golden City!

GOLDEN CITY

Golden City!

Mr. Chairman, Bong Sang-pil has shown up in court.

Seok Gwan-dong, that idiot…

Tell him to come quickly.

You pervert!

Our young judge was praised for his frugal lifestyle,

even taking the bus to work.

But turns out, it was to take voyeuristic photos.

What a major plot twist, isn't it?

Your Honor.

This slander isn't just against me, but the judiciary.

Our attorney is slandering the associate judge

with an irrelevant incident.

I guess you don't know yet because it's not your field,

but this was all over the police intranet.

And it'll be on the news tonight too.

Please return to your seat for now.

Right!

On top of that,

I also request for the recusal of Judge Cha Moon-sook,

who chose a perverted voyeur

as one of her judging panels.

No, you can't!

Your Honor, you can't!

No!

Your poor father.

You're now asking me to step down from this seat?

Your Honor,

you either acquiesced to his wrongdoing or didn't do your job

by just receiving that crucial information.

Whichever the case may be,

I believe both reasons make my request justifiable.

Judge Cha Moon-sook.

I hope you'll make a just decision true to your reputation.

If the contents of the video are indeed true,

a disciplinary committee for the associate judge will be held,

and he will be

dismissed as a justice.

Of course, you should do that.

Although failing to make

a careful consideration in forming this panel

isn't enough reason to recuse myself,

I will also take that into consideration.

Your Honor,

I request an immediate arrest of Attorney Bong Sang-pil.

And the reasons?

Those men who just caused a ruckus in court are

all employed with his law firm.

In order to delay the trial,

Attorney Bong Sang-pil

disrupted the court's flow.

By doing so, he deformed the court's prestige.

So please order for his immediate arrest,

according to Article 61 of the Court Organization Law.

Motion accepted.

Guards, please arrest Attorney Bong immediately.

The trial will end here today.

-I told you! -Why did you demand a recusal

when you know it won't even work?

Well, you'll see.

Any of you have a problem?

No, I always felt small for never getting locked up,

-but now I can finally brag about it. -That's it.

I'm excited to be back, too!

Talk about a confidence boost!

Keep the office safe for three days, all right?

Thanks, Jae-yi!

Just what is he…

-Jae-ik! -Nice seats.

Have a seat.

You got this!

MINISTRY OF JUSTICE

A lawyer arrested for getting cheeky with a judge?

I'm embarrassed to have a friend

who works with those low-lives.

Wait, we were friends?

I was hesitant to bring that up first,

but you're brave, aren't you?

I'll give you that.

I'll see you in court if I ever have to, Yeon-hee.

-Bye, then. -I'll look forward to it.

I'd like to have a decent lawyer as my opponent for once.

Is that what you think of lawyers? People who fight against the prosecution?

Because I think

lawyers are people who fight against prejudices.

Well then, I'm off.

For a fight.

You're saying all you knife-wielding guys

got beaten up by a lawyer who's all talk?

That guy does everything except using a knife.

Now you started talking.

and making excuses?

If you don't make a sound,

I might just forgive you.

Sorry?

So what was his name again?

That bastard, Bong Sang-pil?

I hear he has a bigger guy supporting him.

Who is he?

It's Daewoong Gang.

Choi Dae-woong.

He's the big boss of one of Gangbuk's top three gangs.

Rumors say he's the one who raised Bong as a lawyer.

Is that right?

But why are you suddenly interested in Choi Dae-woong?

I'm more curious about that.

None of your business.

Anyway, I'll have a big job coming up for you.

Don't make a mistake.

A big job?

HOPEFUL CORRECTIONS FOR A BRIGHT FUTURE

Dodge!

Of course.

Hey, silence!

Boss.

-What? -Sorry for that kick,

I didn't mean to use so much force earlier.

I didn't realize it can be heartbreaking

to beat someone up.

Well, we're even.

I sprayed that fire extinguisher.

Come on, it's all right!

I mean, it's between us!

It has been so long since I've been here,

and it's not so bad.

It reminds me of old times!

-Right? -Same here.

It feels like I'm finally back home after a long journey.

-Really? -Yes.

By the way, back in the court just now,

you guys had some mean acting skills!

Keep up the good work, okay?

Is that right?

Let's fight with the law! Lawless

-Lawyer! -Lawyer!

Anyway, what will you do now?

What else?

I'm a man who creates my own path.

I have my reasons for coming in here.

What?

-So you're here on purpose? -Yes.

Take your food over there.

I don't share tables with criminals.

Come on, eat with us as our fellow convict.

Do you even know who I am?

Finance Director Oh In-chul of Ki Seong City Government.

The safe keeper of the late Mayor Lee,

who controlled all of Ki Seong City's money.

You were responsible

for laundering what Mayor Lee pocketed for himself…

You bastard.

Who do you think you're talking to?

You wouldn't see me despite all my visits, so I came here myself.

I'm lawyer Bong Sang-pil.

What? You came here for me?

I'm in a rush, you see.

Many lives are at stake with this trial.

Get lost.

I don't deal with lawyers.

You're the kind I hate the most.

Bastards who destroy others' lives with an inch of their tongue.

You're not completely wrong.

But…

it's also lawyers who save ruined lives.

Don't get cheeky with me, I warned you.

Sir, there's a parcel for you.

What's this?

Let me see.

There's no sender on this box.

-Open it up. -Yes, sir.

What the hell?

DIE

Which bastard

is trying to kill my spirit

after finding out I'm running for mayor?

Well, for now,

just leave that Bong Sang-pil alone.

Yes, sir.

I can take good care of him

once I become mayor.

Yes, Mr. Chairman.

KI SEONG DISTRICT COURT JUDGE'S CHAMBER CHA MOON-SOOK

Looks like you're here for business today.

How did you know?

It's written on your face.

You're here to ask for a difficult favor.

-Yes. -What is it?

I'd like to request a postponement of the trial date.

Attorney Bong Sang-pil was detained

soon after accepting the case,

we haven't had time to prepare our defense.

I'll have to reject that.

-Judge Cha. -Let's take this outside.

He only pointed out

the qualifications of the questionable judge.

He never meant to attack you, Judge Cha.

He needs time to prepare a defense.

-At the detention center, he… -You do it.

-Sorry? -If Bong Sang-pil can't,

you do it, Jae-yi.

You're a lawyer, aren't you?

You look perfect in here as if you've always been here.

Right.

You know I have a presence no matter where I am.

Didn't you feel it in the office?

My everyday life can be a pictorial.

Judge Cha Moon-sook rejected my request

for a postponement of the trial.

You went to her and asked her directly?

The trial is the day after your release.

Didn't you…

Didn't you take that into account before all this?

Whoa, so you're even keeping my schedule.

Now that's a good paralegal.

Are you aware that you have no time to prepare his defense?

But I have you,

Lawyer Ha Jae-yi.

Only at a time like this?

Let's be honest, when did you ever work for me

like you're a paralegal?

What?

You always got nosy as if you're a lawyer.

Gosh, it was just so annoying.

Many lawyers find it difficult to criticize

judges with problems.

Good one.

Is there anything you need?

Do I need anything?

Well, let's see…

-Right! -Forget it.

I'm off.

I believe in you, Jae-yi!

Well, they say she has the best hands in this country,

and I can tell just by looking at you.

She has just the right pressure.

You're aware that our judge is

the face of Ki Seong, right?

I'm not quite sure who my client is,

but her cheeks have started to sag.

You can tell without even seeing her?

The trend nowadays is to get rid of those folds!

I can't be a judge if I followed everyone.

Once again, I failed to understand the deep meaning of your actions.

I need to sleep.

Of course.

Then let me get back to my duties.

Man, so he has done all three?

Embezzlement, malpractice, and tax evasion.

He pocketed 5.1 billion won in total?

This violates Article 3 of the Specific Economic Crime Act.

He'll get at least ten years in prison.

Or if he's unlucky, life.

Man, Ms. Nam!

You've become a law expert.

So? Will it be possible?

We'll have to make it possible.

But I'm doing this for you, Mr. Han.

Of course, Ms. Nam!

You're a woman of loyalty.

I'll seal a deal with the plaintiff

and get him out on probation.

I mean, I'm capable of anything.

He also asked about how to fly his assets abroad.

Tell him to set up a paper company.

Not somewhere like the U.S., but in Europe!

You can take this one without any trouble.

Even the taxes are paid in full!

KIM YOON-SU

Oh, it's Yoon-su this time?

And he is Yoon-su, a good student!

I knew I could rely on you

to set it up all nicely for me.

You're so detailed!

So they'll be making his statue based on that photo?

Gosh.

I still can't believe I was the exclusive photographer

for the Cha family.

You always go on about that.

He'd only smile in front of my camera.

What an honor it was.

Judge Cha Byeong-ho even paid for your law school, you know.

Hey, that's not quite true.

It was Mom and you who worked all night and day

to pay for my college.

Yes, and Judge Cha was the one who paid that money.

I'm going to protect Judge Cha Moon-sook no matter what.

Until her last day in the courtroom.

Did you take care of the Golden City case?

Come on, do I ever do a sloppy job?

Man, there's tons of work to be done,

and who else will do all that?

Gosh, I'm so tired.

What are you doing right now?

Are you patronizing me?

I'm sorry.

You always try to walk all over me when you get a chance.

If it's so tough, then leave.

Don't try to make use

of my trust.

Your Honor, when did I ever…

Besides, don't you favor

Jae-yi over me anyway?

It makes me sad.

-What? -Between that girl and I,

who's more important to you?

Shut your pretty mouth.

Remember,

whoever that gets to see my heart

is on the losing end.

Guess you only got off work now after tending to her.

You must be tired.

She's asleep right now. Call back tomorrow.

I got rid of all the other women.

Anyway, that's not why I called.

Get me a meeting with her.

Because I have something to discuss with your judge.

About what?

Why do you want to know?

Well, take care.

That little… Has he gone nuts?

You disgusting thug!

MAYOR LEE YOUNG-SU MURDER CASE INVESTIGATION RECORDS

You're stealing a clearly guilty case?

Yes.

The amount of evidence is almost suspicious.

I believe in you, Jae-yi!

LAWYER BONG SANG-PIL

-What's this? -A guy asked me to give it to you.

A guy?

Which guy?

-Hey. -Oh, right.

Dad, try wearing this.

-Hold onto this. -Sure.

Jae-yi.

Go, now!

-Your mother saved me. -Go, now!

Where should I begin?

Jae-yi.

Please take good care of her for me.

Yes, sir.

Please get some rest.

Thank you.

I took the funeral photos for that detective's wife.

Okay. All done.

Let's take one more.

Wait, let's tidy that hair.

She called me when was ready to face her death.

But it seemed like her husband wasn't quite ready.

Excuse me.

May I take one with my husband?

Come on, no need for that.

Apparently, he kept by her side for five years.

So I still can't believe that

a man like that could kill a person.

Who are you?

Hello, I'm Ha Jae-yi, and I'm a lawyer.

I'm the attorney for your husband.

Really?

Please don't get up.

I'm sorry to ask you this when we just met,

but please help my husband.

He would never kill anyone.

Please help me

so that I can see my husband be found innocent

before I pass away.

Man, that smell! My gosh.

Keep it quiet!

-Enjoy your meal, Boss. -Enjoy, Boss.

Sure.

Man!

Whenever you eat this lousy meal,

you must think to yourself, "Why am I stuck in here

-with these scums?" -There is

nothing I know, so get lost.

I never asked you whether you knew anything.

You embezzled 150 million won

from Ki Seong City's budget by forging Mayor Lee's seal.

This is what the whistleblower said about you.

The trial's still ongoing,

but you already admitted to your crime

and came to eat this lousy meal with me.

But

compared to your usual power trips,

the money you embezzled is rather small.

I mean, there should be at least another zero, right?

You just won't shut up, will you?

My instincts tell me your sentence is

exactly the amount of time it'll take

for Mayor Lee's case to die down.

Shut that mouth!

Stop that!

Or you'll be penalized!

-It's nothing. -Hey!

Gosh, that temper of yours.

-It's not a big deal. -It's nothing.

Director Oh.

You were the whistleblower, weren't you?

-What? -You blew the whistle on yourself

to get in here, didn't you?

You wanted to live.

You bastard. I'll…

However,

do you really think you're safe,

hiding in here?

What's your true face?

What?

I just went to see your wife.

Why would you go there? Why?

I wanted to know the real you.

Please tell me the truth.

Were you with Mr. Kang,

the witness from the first trial?

Yes, I was definitely with him on that day!

Then why didn't he testify for you?

GAME LAND

Are you here to play?

You must be Mr. Kang.

I'm Ha Jae-yi, a lawyer.

A lawyer?

I'm Mr. Wu Hyung-man's attorney.

May I ask some questions?

Are lawyers allowed

to just barge in and ask questions?

I'm sorry.

But please.

If this is about the trial, then please leave.

I already told the police that I know nothing.

On the night

of Mayor Lee's murder, March 22, 2018 at 11:30 p.m.,

you were with Detective Wu, weren't you?

I told you to leave.

I know Detective Wu has been giving you trouble.

But that doesn't mean

you can make an innocent man a murderer.

Innocent?

That bastard said that?

Hey, lady.

I wonder if you'll say that after you see this.

Hey, you!

-Go. -I beg you. Please, Mr. Kang.

Damn it!

Just go!

-Thanks, Boss. -Me too.

I asked you to get me out of here,

but you came crawling in here.

You wouldn't know how hard I've been working just to get you out.

What kind of crap is that?

If you don't know, then just eat. Okay?

Was her name Ha Jae-yi?

Your paralegal came to see me.

I have to give it to you.

You got a lawyer as your paralegal.

See? She's doing fine on her own.

Just go! Go!

To be completely honest,

I just want to see that man dead.

-Mr. Kang. -Don't come back!

-But please. -Just go.

Mr. Kang, please!

Please, I'm begging you! Mr. Kang!

Mr. Kang!

Pass. Pass the ball. Shoot for the goal!

-Get the ball! -Pass us the ball!

Pass us the ball!

Hey, the ball!

I said pass it!

Boys?

-Let's go! -Yes, Boss!

They're killing him.

What are you doing?

Bong Sang-pil.

You bastard!

What's going on?

Even though you came in here on your own accord,

you're probably regretting it now.

Chairman Ahn Oh-ju is

involved in Mayor Lee's death, right?

As if I'd be here without knowing that.

Just what are you?

Ohju Group.

They flourished during Mayor Lee's term, didn't they?

Their total assets and revenue jumped by fivefold.

All thanks to Ki Seong, commissioning all their big projects to them.

But I have just two questions.

Why did Ahn Oh-ju get rid of Mayor Lee?

And

why was Wu Hyung-man charged with his murder?

I don't know if that detective killed him or not.

But I do know the first one.

Mayor Lee.

Why did he have to die?

Have you

heard of the Golden City?

The biggest redevelopment project in Ki Seong's history.

It fell flat 18 years ago,

but now managed to get back on the table.

Golden City?

This will be our election office.

Set up our camp here.

Are you running for an office?

I'm sure you can handle it as the mayor of Ki Seong.

Then the big job you mentioned is…

The mayor's seat has been vacant for a while,

so they've been searching for someone.

Then of course, it's up to me to fill that seat.

And

why don't you try heading my campaign?

Then do you forgive me, Boss?

Not only do I forgive you,

I've even made you the campaign manager.

So what will you do for me in return?

If you're about to be the mayor, I'd be willing to do anything!

This is why you're no good.

Don't just offer me you'll do anything.

"Boss, what can I do

to please you?"

Try asking me that.

Boss!

Even if it means getting blood on my hands,

I'll make you Ki Seong's mayor for sure!

Now you're talking.

I'll be looking forward to it.

They removed Mayor Lee because he was against

the Golden City project?

I don't know why you stepped into this mess.

But once I'm out of here,

I'm going to stay low.

I don't know you anymore, all right?

Ahn Oh-ju is

trying to become the mayor of Ki Seong?

Lady, you're unbelievable.

I asked her to bring me.

-What's this about? -Mr. Kang.

You know that my husband has been treating you like that

all because of me.

Come on, this won't change anything.

-So leave! -Mr. Kang.

Mr. Kang, please.

Please, just once! If it weren't for me,

you know he'd never do anything like that.

All right, fine. Take a seat.

Sit here.

Hey, take her back to the hospital!

Mr. Kang, you can't stop thinking about

Detective Wu's trial, can you?

What?

You said you wanted to see him dead as quickly as tomorrow.

So why are minding him and even worrying about him?

No!

Your Honor, no!

No!

Attorney Bong Sang-pil…

Well, that's because a death penalty's just…

You're conflicted, Mr. Kang.

You feel guilty for making Detective Wu the murderer!

-Let's go! -We're free!

Thanks for your hospitality.

Don't ever come back!

All right, take care, sir.

Did you hear that?

That's what you call well-wishing remarks.

Is this the holidays?

But Boss, we failed to convince Director Oh.

You think I'd leave empty-handed, just because I came in with nothing?

Just you watch.

Whoa! Why, you!

It's Ms. Ha!

Oh my. Are you here to pick us up?

-What about the office? -It's not office hours yet.

There's no extra pay for coming early.

You know that, right?

Like you ever paid me for doing overtime. Unbelievable.

You didn't bring any tofu with you, did you?

You wouldn't wash your hands clean anyway.

Go! Let's go!

-Lawless! Lawless! -Lawless! Lawless!

Man, our paralegal sure is the best!

I missed outside food!

Jjajangmyeon instead of tofu?

I'll enjoy it for all your trouble.

Your heart can't get any darker, so that was nothing.

-Boss. -Boss.

Oh no.

-Please forgive us, Boss! -Forgive us!

We're free!

We're free!

-This is nice! -Boss!

Time for a dip!

-One, two, three! -One, two, three!

Mr. Kang will stand as Detective Wu's witness.

Does that mean you believe his innocence now?

I do.

His alibi has been confirmed.

I want Detective Wu's wife

to see him found innocent.

Yes, she should.

But

starting now,

us lawyers' biggest fears will start to unfold.

It's worse to lose a case for an innocent man,

compared to a guilty case.

That's what's frightening, you know.

Which is why we need to fight to win.

With law.

With law!

-Hey! -Hey!

Hey, wait! One second!

-Stop! -Let's go!

Hey, hey! No! No! Hey!

-One! -One!

-Two! -You jerks…

-Three! -Three!

Ms. Ha! How about a dive?

Looks like something good happened?

Bong Sang-pil.

You lousy bastard!

Beating up your lawyer while under arrest.

Let's hear your reasons.

It's not Ahn Oh-ju's style to end everything with blackmail.

If he was going to frame me, he would've killed me too.

Just like Mayor Lee?

You're the only one who'd mess with my life.

I see you haven't lost it.

-That's a detective. -What?

Don't get so upset.

I'm your lawyer now.

I said I'll get you out.

You jerk.

Or

should I just kill you now?

Let go!

Your life is in my hands now.

Ahn Oh-ju isn't the only one

you've been working for.

What?

Ahn Oh-ju is only a puppet.

There's another mastermind.

What is this nonsense?

In other words, the judge of this trial.

Judge Cha Moon-sook.

Attorney Bong gets released today, right?

Yes, I just met with him.

And I'm sure he showed no sign of remorse.

Jae-yi, you

tend to trust people too easily.

-Do I? -Be careful of those

who exploit your trust.

CHAIRMAN AHN

Judge Cha.

That idiot, Wu Hyung-man,

will have his witness

testify at the trial to back up his alibi.

Is that right?

We can't keep him alive anymore.

So let me handle him.

I'm not sure about that. Is there really a need to?

Really?

What you mean by that is you'll manage this case

and have him dead, right?

With the law?

It's called "Murder by Law."

She takes up her target's case,

then kills them by law.

That's Cha Moon-sook.

Our opponent in this trial isn't the prosecution.

It's the judge.

You aren't trying to fool me, are you?

Remember.

It's not the judge who can overturn a ruling.

It's the lawyer.

The only crazy psycho who'll have you win this trial

is me.

Here to pay off your debt?

-Work hard, all right? -Okay.

Found anything?

Just where is it? Darn it.

Man, you startled me!

Wu never used the front door.

Try searching all night for nothing.

Then do you have cameras around the back door?

-Yes. -Why didn't you tell us?

It should be right here.

Oh man. Come on.

Detective Wu would always take this back door.

He'd come in like this,

then close this, and the money would show up.

There must've been a limit.

Wait a second. You jerk.

You're reporting us again?

Hello? Yes.

Is it because of the camera?

Hello, my foot. Give that to me.

-Come, you jerk. -What's wrong, sir?

Why always pick on me?

Geum Gang, you.

He was caught on camera. He's here!

Our savior!

Oh, yes.

Why, aren't you a chameleon?

-What? -Don't say anything from now on.

No, it's nothing.

Hey, yes.

Why did Ahn Oh-ju cast you as the protagonist?

I mean, as the murderer of Mayor Lee.

I already told you, I know nothing.

It left me puzzled too,

but now I have the answer.

What is it?

Before he's elected mayor,

he wants to dust all his dirt off.

You've hung out with him for 20 years at the fish market.

You mean, he was taking precautions

in case I revealed his weaknesses?

Those who have a lot to lose tend to be the biggest cowards.

Ahn Oh-ju! That scumbag.

Judge Cha Moon-sook is entering the room.

All rise!

MAYOR LEE'S MURDER CASE, 3RD HEARING

Witness, on the night of the incident on March 22nd, 2018 at 11:30 p.m.

Do you remember who you were with?

-Yes, I do. -Who were you with, and where were you?

I was with Detective Wu at the gaming center I run.

Are you sure?

Yes, I'm sure.

Your Honor, as you just heard,

our witness has testified for the defendant's alibi.

I rest my case.

Prosecution, start your cross-examination.

Mr. Kang, a question.

Were you blackmailed by Attorney Bong Sang-pil?

-Your Honor! -Or did he

promise a reward in return?

Your Honor!

Or perhaps both?

Objection, Your Honor!

The prosecution is demeaning the dignity

of both the counsel and the defendant.

Sustained. Prosecution, be wary of your remarks.

I apologize.

Your Honor.

I submit as evidence,

the police report on our witness, filed by the detective-in-charge.

You may proceed.

Mr. Kang, you were questioned by the police, as a witness.

Yes, that's right.

But this report says you said

you weren't with the defendant during that hour.

That's right, yes.

Let me ask you again.

Were you blackmailed or promised a reward…

-Your Honor! -May I ask

why our witness has changed his testimony?

Well, back then, I lied.

This is the truth.

I was with Detective Wu.

How am I to believe someone who has given

a false testimony?

We have a video clip.

Your Honor, the prosecution was not informed about this.

We only convinced our witness last night,

and this video clip was retrieved half an hour before the trial.

We apologize for not informing you earlier.

Your Honor, this cannot be accepted as evidence.

How about you watch the clip?

Your Honor!

All right.

The video will not be played right now,

but instead, I'll accept a written report on the content.

Once we confirm the authenticity of the video,

we'll decide on whether to accept it as evidence.

That was a cute move coming from Bong Sang-pil.

What should we do, sir?

Don't worry, Judge Cha Mon-sook

won't accept something like that as evidence now.

Sorry?

Anyway,

you just dash over

and get that knife-wielder.

Go dump him in some submarine and send him far away.

Yes, Mr. Chairman.

Ouch!

Watch where you're going.

I wouldn't get too hopeful.

Though it's blurry, we can still make him out.

I'm sure it'll be accepted.

Criminals can walk free if they argue their remarks didn't have a subject.

It's not over until the trial's over.

We must get the real culprit.

-The real culprit? -Yes.

We won't win unless we have the real culprit in court.

Bong Sang-pil.

You're a lawyer, not a detective.

Boss! I got the magnet on him.

He's taking an unusual detour.

Okay.

That video clip got him anxious.

Magnet? Are you tailing someone?

Ms. Ha, let's just go. All right?

Boys, you take my car.

So you mean, that guy will

lead us to the real culprit?

-That's right! But he has no idea. -Who is he?

Chairman Ahn Oh-ju's secretary, who's like his shadow.

You mean Ohju Group is involved

in Mayor Lee Young-su's murder?

We'll know once we follow him.

Thanks to your admirable daughter, Judge Cha Moon-sook,

I will be running in Ki Seong's mayoral election, Mr. Cha.

So is he this

Judge Cha Byeong-ho I've been hearing about?

The father of Judge Cha Moon-sook?

Gwan-dong.

Yes, Boss!

There is a time

for every man to do his job.

This is something

Judge Cha Byeong-ho told me when I was about your age.

I'll take it to heart.

And for you,

that moment is right now.

I mean, who'd have thought

you'd be leading my campaign?

Exactly, Boss.

That's why

this is a chance not to be missed for both you and I.

-Hey, take a look. -All right.

Do you recognize this face?

Oh, this guy!

That's one of Ki Seong's experts in stowaways.

-Stowaways? -Yes.

Remember that one CEO who disappeared after going bankrupt?

Hey, there are more than one or two of those.

-Shut it. -Well, anyway.

This guy helps you

get your wife, your kids,

and even your mistress out of the country

if you pay him.

So why would Ahn's secretary meet with a stowaway expert?

-That's… -Smells like crime, doesn't it?

Here he comes!

Getting so cozy all of a sudden!

Hey, he's leaving.

All right, let's begin.

-Yes. -Yes, Sang-pil.

Wait.

Ms. Ha, you block the exit.

-The exit? -Yes.

That idiot. There he goes again. Ouch!

There's not even an elevator. My legs hurt!

By the way, how come you don't carry any weapons?

You know, a knife, a steel pipe, a baseball bat.

Ever since I've been working for him, I've never seen him use a weapon.

You know,

I just hate things that kill my suit.

That includes weapons and men. All right?

Who…

Like the speed skater, Kim Dong-sung!

I win the gold medal!

Stay here and keep watch on what?

I'm so done here.

I'm sorry.

So why did you meet with Chairman Ahn's secretary?

Who's that?

The guy in a suit back in at your office.

-He's his secretary? -So you didn't know?

I mean it! I really know nothing!

Let's see if you really don't know him.

Boss, this guy's really heavy!

I can't take it anymore either!

That's enough. You can let go now.

Wait! I'll tell you!

So please! I'll tell you!

You should've said so earlier.

He asked me to send them to China.

-Today! -Send who?

I don't know who it is.

I only got the photo.

It's on my phone.

My phone.

Boss!

I'll be meeting them here.

They'll be here?

Yes.

-Hey, get him down. -Yes, Boss.

You should've just blown it earlier!

Boss! I think that's him.

Hey! Hold it, you jerk!

I said, stop! Hey!

-Stop! -Don't move!

-Hey! -Hey!

You stop, too! Everyone, freeze!

Nice one, Ms. Ha!

Sang-pil!

Hey!

Goodness, I'm sorry.

What the heck?

Hey, stop right there!

Hey, you jerk!

Let go!

Sang-pil.

Who gave you the order to kill Mayor Lee Young-su?

Let me go.

Chairman Ahn Oh-ju, right?

Who are you?

You don't have to say it now.

Because you'll be saying it with your own mouth in court.

Sang-pil!

No! Sang-pil, run!

Run away, hurry!

Put that knife down.

Mr. Bong.

If you

hurt her in any way,

I'll kill you with my own hands.

Stop!

Sang-pil, stop!

Stop!

Sang-pil, stop!

-You! -Stop!

-Let go! -Don't!

Let go!

Okay, fine!

Yes!

It was Ahn Oh-ju.

He told me to kill Mayor Lee!

Damn it!

It was Ahn Oh-ju.

Let me show you

how he has managed to hold onto his place

right here, right now.

No need to take this to court.

Ms. Ha!

Look at me!

Ms. Ha!

Ha Jae-yi!

Everything you know is an illusion.

I don't doubt the people I trust.

If I'm being deceived by Judge Cha, then prove it to me.

Aren't you curious?

Who do you think instigated Mayor Lee's death?

-Judge Cha. -My trial is sacred and inviolable.

No one can meddle with it.

What's with those bastards getting in the way of the trial?

Jae-yi.

I must protect you

from whatever that comes.
