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!

Stop! Stop!

-You! -Stop it!

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!

Ms. Ha, are you okay?

Look at me!

Ms. Ha!

Ha Jae-yi!

That's it.

Let's get out of here.

Okay?

KI SEONG PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE

Hey.

The witness for Mayor Lee's trial changed his testimony?

Oh, you must be busy.

So Kang Yeon-hee was backstabbed?

Good grief.

All right. Since it's an important trial,

report back in real-time.

What brings you here?

You, the busy president of Ohju Group.

It's nothing much.

I was just passing by,

and I stopped by for a moment

to deliver some news to you.

Chief Prosecutor.

Why should I be updated on what some darned gangsters do?

Our president is running for the upcoming by-election.

You arrogant rascal, don't cut in while your elders talk.

Ahn Oh-ju!

Teach some manners to your boys.

I'm sorry, Chief Prosecutor.

Are you sure Judge Cha chose you?

Aren't you counting your chickens?

My goodness.

How can you say that as a man

who knows Judge Cha so well?

I'm sure she wants me

to devote myself

and serve this City of Ki Seong.

Don't you think?

Devote yourself? Serve? You?

A cow would laugh at that.

Why would she do this?

If I ran for the election alone, then…

What was it called? Regular…

Regulation. Yes, I might violate that thing.

Judge Cha told me to head over here

and receive

your guidance beforehand.

Really?

So that's what she said?

Yes, what about the expert?

Yes, we've been tailing him in secret.

How's Ms. Ha?

She's resting now,

so don't worry.

Yes, Sang-pil.

Are you okay?

Why did you do that?

The doctor said you'll be sleepy with the tranquilizer.

Get some sleep.

Are you okay?

Why were you so agitated?

If I didn't stop you, it would've been a disaster.

You seemed like a totally different person.

Are you Detective Wu Hyung-man's lawyer?

Come with me, please.

Judge Cha.

Please take a look.

Hey, he's…

What do you think, Judge Baek?

I don't know.

This afternoon, a man

jumped in front of an operating subway train.

The police are currently identifying the man,

as well as interrogating

Lawyers Bong and Ha, who were there at the scene.

The body of the man…

Before he jumped,

he confessed that he killed him.

Does that mean there's a real culprit who killed Mayor Lee?

Yes.

Did you record it?

No.

He suddenly jumped, so I had no time.

For now, it's just your words.

Detective Wu's alibi has already been confirmed.

You aren't updated.

I believe they're still reviewing the evidence.

As an investigator, isn't it odd?

That there is an abundance of clear evidence.

Perhaps it's because the culprit is obviously him.

By the way,

about that man you're claiming to be the real culprit.

Did he really kill himself?

Or did you push him into the railway?

-Or did you induce his suicide? -Watch your mouth.

And if you want to arrest us,

show us the warrant issued by a judge.

We don't need to stay.

Bong, get up.

Right.

Secure the security footage and check the situation yourself.

Don't get suspicious without grounds.

The deceased's cell phone is missing.

Did you secretly take it?

The interrogator says he's a murderer,

and the prosecutor says he's a thief.

Mr. Bong isn't your punching bag.

-Do you think he's stupid? -Right.

It's harsh to treat me like a thief.

You're very different from other lawyers

I've seen to this day.

But it seems like you're kind of overreacting.

Why are you so obsessed with this trial?

Does a lawyer need a reason

to want to win a trial?

I was just curious at first,

-but now I'm dying to find out. -I'll tell you the reason

when I win.

I never thought I'd see a day when you would defend me.

You didn't tell them on purpose.

Ahn Oh-ju.

He told us his name before he died.

Chairman Ahn Oh-ju of Ohju Group.

Sang-pil.

Nice to meet you.

I'm Lawyer Bong Sang-pil.

Yes, right.

The lawyer in Mayor Lee's case, right?

I've heard a lot about you.

You recognize me oddly immediately.

Come on, I, Ahn Oh-ju,

know everything about Ki Seong.

I was close friends with Mayor Lee,

so I don't feel comfortable

talking to you.

You're the one defending the murderer

who killed my friend, claiming he's innocent.

I heard you were also very close

to Detective Wu Hyung-man,

the suspect of Mayor Lee's murder.

Did Wu Hyung-man say that?

He's just making a fuss

after a few interactions.

Anyway,

I'm sure Judge Cha will

find the truth.

It just got buried.

That truth.

What are you talking about?

The real culprit died

just today.

And right before he died,

he told me the name of the instigator.

It was Ahn Oh-ju.

He told me to kill Mayor Lee!

Really?

Don't you want to know

who instigated

Mayor Lee's death?

Why?

Did that jerk mention

my name, Ahn Oh-ju?

Did he?

Come on now, you can't even trust the living.

Why would anyone trust what a dead man said?

Aren't you a lawyer who makes a living by attending trials?

And you can't even tell truth and lies apart?

Well, Chairman Ahn.

Most people tell the truth

right before they die.

I heard you're an amazing lawyer,

but you're totally useless.

I should at least pray

for poor Mayor Lee's soul.

By the way, Mr. Lawyer.

Is this our first encounter?

You look familiar for someone from a different area.

Perhaps it's because I've heard a lot about you.

I'm sure we've met.

Yes, right?

I knew it. When have we met?

I, too,

am from Ki Seong.

I see.

Are you really?

See you around.

Chairman Ahn Oh-ju began his career at a fish market with his bare hands,

who later founded Ohju Group, the man of a real-life success story.

He plans on starting

-a career in politics… -Turn that thing off.

Even the sweetest compliments

can grow boring

if you hear them every day.

Meanwhile…

Chairman Ahn.

I have something to tell you.

Look.

Since when was this thing on you?

Ouch!

Watch where you're going.

You fell right into Bong Sang-pil's trap.

I'm sorry.

Do you know the reason

why he put that magnet on you?

I do.

He targeted me from the beginning

when he got involved in this trial.

One good thing is this.

Who was that guy? The killer?

Thank goodness he died.

I will take care

of the expert.

You can send him across the sea.

Get it?

What are you looking at?

You startled me.

The doctor did say you'll feel sleepy,

but you're sleeping way too much.

I woke up earlier.

You were looking at my mom's picture.

Well, I…

I just wanted to see what your mother looks like.

I was a bit shocked earlier.

But after some sleep…

Do you feel better?

No.

This is cheesy.

It's weird to have you drive me home.

I'm getting goosebumps.

Jae-yi.

Dad.

Are you Ms. Ha's father?

Mr. Bong?

Goodness.

I've heard a lot about you.

I should've come by sooner. I'm Bong Sang-pil.

You act differently in front of an elder.

-You're like someone else. -Come on inside

and have a cup of tea. I mean, you're here already.

-Dad. -Well.

Shall I?

Then I'd be happy to.

Thank you for writing off

much of the interest.

What?

Really?

Two of his staff came,

apologized,

paid for all the damaged goods,

and reduced the interest, too.

Didn't you know?

Why didn't you tell me?

So…

are both of your parents doing well?

Well…

My mother raised me alone,

but she passed when I was young.

Oh, my. I shouldn't have asked.

No, it's okay.

My mother was also a lawyer,

just like Ms. Ha.

Your mother was a lawyer?

Your mother raised her son very well.

She was a totally different type of lawyer from me.

I'm still years behind her.

Jae-yi has been without her mother for a while,

but you too, Mr. Bong?

My dream is for Jae-yi

to become an amazing judge

who represents Ki Seong,

like Judge Cha Moon-sook.

I'm sure your mother

would've felt the same way.

Just do it already!

-You're here. -Hello.

Hey. Where's Chief Tae?

-In there. -He's inside.

Take it easy.

Yes, Boss.

Hey, Gwang-su.

Welcome back, Sang-pil.

Here.

The dead killer's phone.

Can you decrypt it?

When did you get this?

-Right before the cops came. -Awesome.

It's actually quite new.

It needs his fingerprint.

The program needs three days.

-Is that too long? -Yes, that is too long.

Do it the analog way.

-Yes. -What about the expert?

Geum Gang is tailing him.

At this point, the stowaway expert is our only chance

to get Wu Hyung-man out,

unless we find any leads on this phone.

First,

I'll decrypt the phone.

The real murderer who killed Mayor Lee is dead,

and the instigator is trying to be the new mayor.

The situation is dire, Gwang-su.

Wow, it feels like

I've become a detective, hiding in a place like this.

A stakeout.

This is fun.

What's with him? Is he nuts?

Yes, Boss.

This is Detective Geum Gang.

He's screaming and throwing a fit.

Goodness.

Yes.

So I should switch out with the boys?

The mortuary of a university hospital?

I understand. Yes, Boss.

A mortuary?

Did someone pass away?

Is it okay for Chairman Ahn to become the mayor?

He just does as he's told.

Well, that's up to you, Judge Cha.

When he becomes the mayor, be polite to him.

Actually, something has been bothering me.

He's way too reckless

to be in that position.

And he can be way too scary too.

What is this?

Are you bringing him down even before he makes it?

Me? Goodness.

That's not it, Judge Cha.

That subway suicide was a bit suspicious,

and as well as how Bong Sang-pil has been making a fuss

rampaging around all over Ki Seong.

How can such a devoted lawyer

even exist?

It seems that this trial isn't the sole reason for his actions,

according to my experiences.

Chairman Ahn is doing his research.

RESTRICTED AREA

Is this what you meant by the analog way?

-Have you ever seen a dead body? -Yes?

It's my first time.

Should I bow to it?

-Stop shivering. -Should I light an incense?

Gosh, what is this?

Here he is, Gwang-su.

We need his thumb.

No.

I will

do things like these.

This isn't how we should treat the deceased,

-but I can't get blood on your hands. -What?

Hey, wait!

What are you doing?

Don't you need his finger?

Man, you're driving me nuts.

Mr. Geum Gang, please go there and stand guard.

Yes, Gwang-su.

Why couldn't I think of that?

You truly are amazing, Gwang-su.

Awesome as ever.

Gwang-su!

Someone's coming.

Hey. Hide. Hurry.

Oh, no.

Hiding. Hide.

Where do we hide, Gwang-su?

What?

Scan his thumb.

-Me? -Hurry.

Sorry.

Did it work?

It worked. Thank you.

Looks like Cha Moon-sook

will make Ahn Oh-ju the mayor of Ki Seong.

How can a jerk like Ahn Oh-ju run for election?

Is that possible?

As long as Cha is in Ki Seong,

anything is possible.

Yes, Sang-pil.

I see what the situation is.

Yes, sir. Goodbye.

Bye.

I've heard a lot about you from Sang-pil.

Oh, yes.

See you next time.

Yes.

The CEO of a gallery?

Why is the CEO of a gallery in Seoul here?

You'll find out soon.

What's his relationship with you?

Why did he mention Judge Cha?

Are you suspicious of Judge Cha too?

I am getting curious

to find out what you will tell me.

I also want to learn your secrets too.

But Bong,

you're not suspicious of just anybody, are you?

That Choi Dae-woong

came all the way to Ki Seong?

Because of the trial his henchman is in?

Is that right?

Yes, I'm sure.

Okay, I'm hanging up.

That Bong Sang-pil and Choi Dae-woong.

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

I checked the killer's call logs.

-Okay. -The numbers aren't saved,

so I only saw numbers.

Sort out the numbers he called the most before he died.

I'm sure it's related to Ahn Oh-ju.

Yes.

The deceased's cell phone is missing.

Did you secretly take it?

Who would be the most agitated if they find out I have this phone?

It's obvious.

It would be him.

Then shall we show off this phone?

Ms. Ha, see you at court.

-Okay. -Goodbye, Sang-pil.

I'm sure we've met.

Yes, right?

I knew it. When have we met?

I, too,

am from Ki Seong.

My mother was also a lawyer,

just like Ms. Ha.

Gwan-dong.

Yes, sir.

You know, money gives power

to the person who gives it.

The one who receives the money

becomes my slave forever. Get it?

Yes, Boss.

If you use it on dimwits out there who don't know that principle,

it's super effective.

Yes, Boss.

Mr. Chairman.

What is it?

The witness for Wu Hyung-man's case

contacted us just now.

What? The witness?

Mr. Chairman, we brought him.

I had a hunch

that it'd be better to avoid any eyes,

so I told you to come here.

It's all right, Mr. Chairman.

Let's get to the point.

What was that again?

Did you say you saw something in the freezer where Mayor Lee was killed?

Yes, right, sir.

After Mayor Lee went into the freezer,

someone else also went in.

I'm not sure who it was,

but it wasn't Detective Wu. I'm sure.

Really?

Why do you think so?

He had a larger build than Detective Wu,

and he was a bit skinnier.

And decisively,

doesn't Detective Wu

limp his leg?

But the guy who went into the freezer was fine.

If that's true,

it'd be so unfair for Wu Hyung-man.

But why did you come to see me

instead of the police?

Well,

you two are best friends.

I used to do things

around Ki Seong Fish Market as a kid, so I know quite well.

Are you asking me for money

in order to save my friend?

Goodness.

You just need to give me a small amount.

And yes, by your standards, of course.

Well, in half a year,

people will begin to move into this building.

When the time comes,

put your vending machines on all of the floors.

You didn't have to do that much.

Please, come here.

This building is

the seventh building

I built in Ki Seong.

So I named it

the Seven Stars Building.

But…

You won't be able to see it when it's completed.

That's unfortunate.

Gwan-dong.

Gwan-dong.

You idiot.

-Seok Gwan-dong! -Yes.

There might be some videos or other stuff,

scraps of evidence here and there.

Okay? Go to his house

and search through everything, including the bathroom.

-Get it? -Yes, Boss.

And if anyone finds out he fell from here,

no one will sign a lease here

thinking it's bad luck.

Throw him away somewhere very far.

I'm leaving.

Yes, Boss.

All right, now.

Let's all have a drink before we begin.

Did you start your campaign already?

In Korea,

the people are first, corporations come second,

and politics are third.

I used to be the second place

in the City of Ki Seong,

but now I'm about to become the third.

I'm sure you all know this already.

But please show your support for Chairman Ahn.

If we take action,

nothing's impossible in Ki Seong.

Just go ahead and be the mayor!

Once you become the mayor,

please push the Golden City project ahead.

It makes no sense to leave the project open for 18 years.

Our bank is fully loaded!

Just become the mayor.

We will fire them all for you.

My dear chairman of the bank.

-Thank you. -No problem.

There's no cure once you're bit by the "politics bug."

Do you know anything about politics?

Well,

I just need to develop the Golden City,

enrich the lives of the citizens in Ki Seong,

and gain trust from our dear Judge Cha.

Won't that be enough?

Certain arrogant brats run wild, get into politics,

then mess up the country.

Chief Prosecutor Jang.

If you're worried about that,

you can help him from now on.

-Yes. -Yes, of course.

That would do it.

-Let's go! -Let's go!

Anyway, ever since Mayor Lee passed away,

there's been a vacant space among the Seven.

Who should fill the spot?

The mayorship of Ki Seong is a different spot.

It's a position of money and power,

and it also gives you a chance

to be Judge Cha's right-hand man!

What will you do with Ohju Group once you become the mayor?

My, Ms. Nam!

That was the most painful spot.

Come on.

For now, politics before money.

I decided to dedicate my life

for the sake of Ki Seong,

so I must hand it over. What can I do?

I will serve Judge Cha

for the rest of my life,

then get buried here in Ki Seong.

I won't ask you

to let me be the mayor for free.

I prepared some dried yellow croakers caught here at Ki Seong.

Take them home,

grill them over briquette fire,

and enjoy them with your children.

Now, let's do this, our future mayor.

Cheers.

HA FAMILY'S PHOTO STUDIO

Anyway, I'm sure Judge Cha will

find the truth.

As long as Cha is in Ki Seong,

anything is possible.

Lawyer Jang, I'm sorry to call you so late.

Are you still with the Bar Association?

I had a favor to ask of you.

I need information on a lawyer.

Well,

once I become the mayor,

I will speed up the Golden City project

and fill a hundred of these safes,

no, like 1,000 of these

for you.

Well, yes.

I'm sure you chose me

over Chief Prosecutor Jang for a reason.

Right?

Since you're already supporting me,

please don't slow down.

Go super fast, like a rocket!

Judge Cha!

I will announce

my candidacy for the mayoral election at Ki Seong Fish Market.

So please,

if you come

and show your support just once…

I set the table for you,

so shouldn't you feed yourself?

Just once.

Could you please come

-just once? -Nonsense.

Are you telling me to stand in that filthy market

and start soliciting like a merchant?

Judge Cha!

Don't talk back to me.

Yes, ma'am.

Well, so…

what will you do

with that video for that trial?

If Wu Hyung-man's alibi gets confirmed,

the trial will end, won't it?

Why do you care about that?

Do you think you've become my right-hand man

just because I made you run for election?

I'm sorry, Judge Cha.

My trial is sacred and inviolable.

No one can meddle with it.

-I did this for you! -I told you not to call.

-I can't wait like this! -I told you to shut your mouth

-and wait for your ship. -Are you kidding me?

-Get off the phone. -Hey, are you…

Was that him from before?

Yes.

He should man up and stop making so much fuss.

Is he calling again?

It looks like he can't stay still,

thinking he might lose his life.

It's the killer's number.

But he's dead.

Check and see who has his phone.

Gosh, too bad I'm not the killer.

You probably shouldn't talk to me, but then maybe you should.

You must be in a tough spot.

Why did you make all these calls

with the killer who murdered Mayor Lee?

So keep answering my calls from now on. Okay?

Make sure you pick it up every time.

Bong Sang-pil.

We decided not to accept the video

submitted by the defense attorney.

-What's the reason? -It's the court's decision.

It was difficult to distinguish

if the person in the video is

Wu Hyung-man or not.

We couldn't clearly identify

the man in the video as the defendant,

so we cannot use it as evidence for this trial.

Is our voyeuristic judge

in the judicial panel?

And we will not change the judicial panel.

Charges against the associate judge

have not been proven,

so there's no reason to.

Yes, Your Honor.

That's all. See you in court.

Even if I made an objection by submitting a video analysis,

you won't take it.

It's not that my evidence isn't valid, you just won't approve it.

Attorney Bong Sang-pil.

I'm warning you.

-Warning? -If you continue

to insult my court with false evidence and witnesses like you've been doing,

I won't condone it.

False evidence and witness.

You're quick to judge.

Hey, Attorney Bong.

Are you now making personal attacks on me?

Revoke what you said lest you get arrested.

You won't be able to reject the evidence I bring

for the next trial.

See you then.

You're at a disadvantage now.

How could you be

so recklessly laid-back?

Perhaps because the trial is proceeding just as I expected.

-What? -Chairman Ahn Oh-ju

ordered the murder of Mayor Lee Young-su

to win the by-election.

So? Does that sound convincing?

Is Chairman Ahn someone who's capable of that?

Give it a thought and try to see if I made it up

or if it is true.

Why are you telling me

-this ridiculous story? -Because you and I are

enemies fighting for the truth.

The unveiling ceremony

of Judge Cha Byeong-ho's statue will take place at Ki Seong District Court.

For the past 20 years,

Judge Cha Byeong-ho has been continuously voted

as the most admired person in Ki Seong.

Number two is Judge Cha Moon-sook, Judge Cha Byeong-ho's only daughter

-and the current senior judge… -Hey?

Is Ms. Ha in the office?

Her phone is off.

She went to visit Wu Hyung-man.

-For Ki Seong, her hometown… -She went there alone?

Is something bothering you?

-Let's talk later. -Yes, Boss.

So I heard the killer died.

Can you pull me out of here?

We have Mr. Kang's testimony,

and we have that video too.

Mr. Bong went to see if the evidence was accepted,

so don't worry.

-And perhaps-- -I'm not sure.

Will Cha Moon-sook let that happen?

What do you mean?

She won't let me be found innocent.

She's trying to kill me with the law.

Why are you bringing up Judge Cha…

Hey,

you didn't know she's on Ahn Oh-ju's side?

Stop it, Wu!

-What… -What's with those looks?

What? You really didn't know?

Ms. Ha, get up.

Let's talk outside.

You work together, yet you didn't tell her?

KI SEONG DETENTION CENTER

The Judge Cha I know isn't someone

who can be mentioned by Wu Hyung-man.

Have you ever given her a serious thought?

What do you mean?

You may think you know her well,

but is that who she really is?

I don't doubt the people I trust.

Judge Cha Moon-sook

rejected our witness and all of our evidence.

She rejected all of them?

Even Mr. Kang's video?

Yes.

That can’t be right.

Everything you know…

about Judge Cha Moon-sook is an illusion.

Is that you, Jae-yi?

Ha Jae-yi!

Detective Gong Jang-su?

Here.

Wow, you became a lawyer.

If your mother saw this, she would've been very proud.

Yes.

I still haven't found my mom,

but I'm always grateful for you, Detective.

You never gave up until the end.

I'm only doing my job.

Detective Gong.

I still haven't given up

on finding my mom.

Of course, you shouldn't.

Oh.

Okay, I'll be there soon.

Jae-yi, I need to get to work.

Right, you should go.

-I'll call you. -Okay.

My mother went out to buy a new harmonica

and never returned.

But when I played mine again the next day,

I found out it wasn't broken.

That's the guilt I'll hold for life.

My mom, whom I believed would protect me forever,

disappeared overnight.

I couldn't accept it

or believe it, even to this day.

Not even for a day.

I understand how you feel better than anybody else.

That happened to me too.

Bong.

Judge Cha Moon-sook is

like a mother in my heart.

-I know. -As you said,

If I'm being deceived by Judge Cha,

then prove it to me.

So I can believe it.

So I can be persuaded by you again.

Until then, I won't believe anything you say.

Jae-yi.

Let's get some toast on the way.

I'm starving.

It looks like you're addicted to carbs.

This doesn’t even count as carbs.

Why don't you pay this time?

Separate tabs, please.

Okay.

My gosh.

Jang-su, we know what happened here.

-He killed himself. Let's go. -Wait.

Let's get some naengmyeon.

Why jump off and die on a nice day like this? Go.

Do you assume all deaths here as suicides?

We call that the Suicide Rock.

There are at least 20 people a year who throw themselves here.

That's that, but we still need to investigate the case.

We found a repayment reminder in his pocket.

This is as good as a suicide note.

Hey, that's…

Enough of that.

I heard you tried to fight a case concluded as suicide,

wanted to investigate it on your own, then got disciplined.

No matter how old people get, they never change.

Let's go.

INVESTIGATION RECORD OF LAWYER CHOI JIN-AE'S SUICIDE

MISSING: NOH HYUN-JU

Jae-yi.

NOH HYUN-JU

Your mother saved me.

So…

I must protect you…

from whatever that comes.

LAWLESS LAW FIRM

Are you sure?

That the expert found the killer for Ahn Oh-ju?

I looked into the call logs.

The expert, the killer, and Secretary Kim.

They had been talking all the time, until the incident, then suddenly stopped.

So the expert wasn't just a stowaway expert.

No.

He has to be the bridge between the killer and Ahn Oh-ju.

-And the location? -Geum Gang is on his tail.

-Hi. -Hello.

Where are you going?

Ms. Ha, you can stay in the office today.

We can go on our own.

I don't want you to run into someone like the killer.

I told you.

Prove it!

So I'll go with you, no matter where you go.

Hey, Jae-yi. Darn.

Sang-pil.

I just caught up with him.

Boss, where are you?

Yes, okay.

Oh, we're almost there.

Don't scare him away. Watch him closely.

Yes, Lawyer Bong.

Okay.

So you found this out while you searched through his call log?

How did you get into the dead killer's phone?

Did you two…

Step on it, Gwang-su.

Oh, come on!

You know evidence obtained illegally cannot be used in trial!

Now, Ms. Ha.

It's about time you get used to the way my law firm works.

Come on, step on it.

Ms. Ha! Hang on!

Hang onto what…

He's totally off-guard.

Now's the chance.

-Wait. -Yes?

-Hold on. -Look at that.

Stowaway experts exchanging signs.

They're really cautious.

That's his mom.

His mom?

I don't want to make him run away in front of her.

Let's wait until they say goodbye.

Yes, Boss.

What's the attendance rate like

for the unveiling ceremony?

All of the VIPs are attending.

No idiot would dare be absent

if they want to run a peaceful business in Ki Seong.

About that Bong Sang-pil.

Any information about him?

Bong Sang-pil's biological mother was a human rights lawyer.

She was Choi Dae-woong's sister,

but she committed suicide.

Suicide?

She died in Ki Seong

eighteen years ago. Her name was…

Stop.

Is her name

Choi…

Jin-ae?

Do you know her, Mr. Chairman?

I'm sure we've met.

I, too,

am from Ki Seong.

That rascal.

Wu Hyung-man, that idiot.

Hyung-man, hold onto the kid.

What should we do with the woman?

Bury her when you get rid of the kid.

He has been deceiving me

for the past 18 years.

He's cute.

Let go of me.

Bong Sang-pil.

You didn't die,

but became a lawyer.

And now you returned

to Ki Seong?

Right?

-What do you want? -Hey, stop the car.

-Stop the damned-- -Hey.

-Oh my. -Stop the car!

Get out of the car!

You damn jerk. Come out. Come out, you jerk.

Ms. Ha! Hang tight!

I told you to stop.

Stop!

We will begin the unveiling ceremony of Judge Cha Byeong-ho's statue,

the eternal father of Ki Seong!

One, two, three.

It's as if he came back alive.

CONGRATULATIONS

CHA MOON-SOOK

Everyone!

Judge Cha Byeong-ho has returned

to Ki Seong!

Give him a big hand!

CONGRATULATIONS

Stop! Stop the car!

Stop, you lunatic!

People ahead!

Come on, man!

You jerk!

Whoa!

Move out!

Oh my.

Move out!

Watch out!

Get closer!

Lawyer Bong, I'm here!

Look out!

My father was only concerned

about law, justice and judgement,

and nothing else.

He asked me to do the same,

and taught me that judges must live only as a layperson and a bystander,

that judges should never covet after positions,

and that I must always look after the weak and powerless.

This is the fate of a judge.

I always try to abide by my father's teachings.

I am merely taking the path I have to take,

but all of you gave me too much praise

and admiration that I simply do not deserve.

Cha Byeong-ho! Hey!

Cha Byeong-ho! Give me that!

Hurray for Cha Byeong-ho!

Hurray for Judge Cha Byeong-ho!

Hurray for Cha Byeong-ho!

-Hurray! -Hurray!

Hurray for Cha Byeong-ho!

-Hurray! -Hurray!

Yes, well.

It is an honor for Ohju Group

to dedicate Judge Cha Byeong-ho's statue

to Ki Seong District Court.

I truly am

forever grateful, everyone.

My dear, honorable Judge Cha Moon-sook.

And the citizens of Ki Seong.

I decided to run

for the mayorship of Ki Seong!

I, the humble and insufficient man…

-He has done it! -asks for a chance…

-Judge Cha told him not to! -to devote my life to Ki Seong!

If I, Ahn Oh-ju,

the son of Ki Seong,

can be elected the mayor,

I will dedicate all I have to Ki Seong, everyone!

-Ahn Oh-ju! -Ahn Oh-ju!

-Ahn Oh-ju! -Ahn Oh-ju!

-Ahn Oh-ju! -Ahn Oh-ju, the mayor of Ki Seong!

-Ahn Oh-ju! -Ahn Oh-ju!

UNVEILING CEREMONY OF JUDGE CHA BYEONG-HO'S STATUE

An unveiling ceremony?

Why are we here?

Wait, are you…

-Ahn Oh-ju! -Ahn Oh-ju!

-Ahn Oh-ju! -Ahn Oh-ju, the mayor of Ki Seong!

What's he doing at the ceremony?

Who's that?

-Who's that? -What's he doing?

What are they doing?

Everyone!

May I have your attention?

It's nice to meet you.

I'm Lawyer Bong Sang-pil.

-Who the heck is he? -What?

Who is that guy?

I came up here to tell you

something very important.

And I apologize if this was rude.

Now, Prosecutor Kang Yeon-hee?

Prosecutor Kang Yeon-hee. Yes.

This is the stowaway expert who found the killer

for the instigator of Mayor Lee Young-su's murder.

It's up to you, Prosecutor Kang,

to find and reveal the truth.

Hey, Sang-pil.

Things are going nicely today.

Let's go, Judge Cha.

Sang-pil, you need to stop now.

Jae-yi.

Brace yourself and follow me.

Why are you doing this?

It's not the only way…

Judge Cha.

Judge Cha.

How dare you use the ceremony for my father to promote yourself?

Do you think I'll let you run for the mayorship now?

Bong Sang-pil.

I found out who Bong Sang-pil is.

But…

a name I wanted to forget suddenly popped up.

The one

you loved and trusted so much.

Your lawyer friend.

Choi Jin-ae.

That lawyer.

You may go.

Sorry?

-Oh, and… -I got it.

You can go now.

Yes, ma'am.

I'm sorry for what happened earlier,

Judge Cha Moon-sook.

I didn't invite you today, Lawyer Bong.

An unwelcome guest is

the true star of a party.

Why did you ruin the ceremony for my father?

You want to destroy Wu Hyung-man through the trial

and make Ahn Oh-ju the mayor with your power,

but that won't happen.

How dare you frame me?

As long as I stand in court,

no innocent people will be

murdered by law.

Right.

You're a lot like

Jin-ae.

Just as reckless and fearless.

Don't ever say

my mother's name with your mouth.

Do you think

you're the first to come and see me

about this matter?

I will be

the first one to show you

the end.

How much do you think you know about Bong Sang-pil?

You'll have to either abandon

Cha Moon-sook or me.

Please forgive me.

There's only one person I can forgive,

and that's me.

What do I not know?

Do you think it's a coincidence that you met Sang-pil

as soon as you arrived?

All criminals return to their crime scene.

The culprit who killed your mother.

If he won't say it, we must make him say it.

I will answer!

That's all, Your Honor.
