Original subtitles

It's nice to meet you.

I'm Lawyer Bong Sang-pil.

-Who the heck is he? -What?

Who is that guy?

This is the stowaway expert who found the killer

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

What?

Let's go, Judge Cha.

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.

That lunatic!

What kind of lunatic is he?

How dare he ruin such an important ceremony?

Yes, I will start investigating this stowaway expert first.

Yes.

Prosecutor Kang.

We're ready for the interrogation.

-I'm sorry, Mom. -Okay.

Yes, Yeon-hee.

You should be the one to go and help

-Judge Cha feel better. -Okay.

That damned jerk.

Well, ma'am.

The stowaway expert won't say anything

that will cause trouble.

All the other killers you don't know about

shut their own mouths,

eyes, noses, ears,

and pretty much every part of their bodies,

and jumped into the water, subways,

and to the world of the dead.

That's just your luck, Chairman Ahn.

I'm sure you heard it earlier,

but it's clear why that jerk,

Bong Sang-pil, came here.

He's here to get revenge

on the people who killed his mother.

He is Jin-ae's son all right.

He returned as a lawyer.

I thought it was suspicious

how he was as reckless as a mad horse. Goodness.

Getting revenge for his mother who died 18 years ago?

What a loving son he is.

All children love their parents the same way.

It's not a joke.

Oh my, Judge Cha.

You understand the heart

of lowly and unworthy beings like us,

just like Sahasrabhuja.

When I saw your father today at court,

he looked just like he did when he was alive.

I actually thought he came back from the dead.

Today, I…

I must escort you

to a place with a connection

more special than anything, ma'am.

I think it is my duty to escort you to that place

on a day like this.

Gosh, Lawyer Bong.

Stop it. That's enough.

You're unbelievably bold and fearless.

You messed with that all-powerful Judge Cha Moon-sook!

-Pow! -Pow! Bam!

-Pow! -You were great.

Stop overreacting, man.

That's nothing for Sang-pil.

Lawyer Bong, you gave me the best thrill of my life.

A blockbuster adventure!

Don't get too excited.

You might cause trouble.

-Where are you going? -Hey, hey!

Order your favorite chicken and beer.

Chicken and beer!

Weren't you after Ahn Oh-ju to prove Wu Hyung-man's innocence?

Why is Judge Cha your target

instead of Ahn Oh-ju?

Cha Byeong-ho, Judge Cha Moon-sook's father,

was a judge in Ki Seong for 37 years.

He controlled the law like it was his own toy,

and reigned like a king.

And Cha Moon-sook inherited

her father's money, power, and the unconditional trust

of the Ki Seong people.

As you said,

Judge Cha has everything.

Why would she make a scum like Ahn Oh-ju the mayor?

To get more.

Ahn Oh-ju is willing to do the dirty work

for Cha Moon-sook's sake.

Do you expect me to believe that?

Not believing something

doesn't change the truth, Jae-yi.

After you.

Your father and I

ate here together quite often.

This is a place more precious

than my home.

This is the spot. Right here.

My father liked sundae soup?

What a surprise.

He ate soup

and rice separately.

He never mixed them.

He was such a dignified man,

so he ate neatly and cleanly, too.

Perhaps you have more memories

with my father than I do.

No, don't say that.

How could a mere servant

be compared to his daughter?

I'm a guy

who took orders from him

and did as he said.

"Oh-ju.

Can you do this?"

He asked me that so many times.

And I could never,

and I mean never,

tell him that I couldn't do it.

In this country,

everything is possible with money and the law, right?

I have money.

Right?

And you have the law.

You arrogant rascal.

How dare you try to move my heart

by using my father?

How dare you want to eat with me?

You're only worthy of this soju spilled on the table.

You're an object my father passed down to me.

Why?

Do you feel like Ki Seong is in your hands

now that you're running for mayor?

I…

I crossed the line…

for a moment.

Please be generous

and forgive me

this once, Judge Cha.

Did you ask me to forgive you?

There's only one person

I can forgive,

and that's me.

When will you tell her?

When I see the trust she has for Cha Moon-sook

after all she has done to her mom,

I wonder if I should tell her.

First, she must see Cha Moon-sook's true nature.

She won't believe me

unless she sees that.

It won't be easy.

She thinks of her as her mother.

She'd have to choose between

abandoning Cha Moon-sook or me.

To be honest, I thought Ms. Ha was

just a small piece of your revenge.

But I realized that she is

the last puzzle piece that completes

your revenge.

MISSING: NOH HYUN-JU

Mom.

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Jae-yi!

Mom!

Jae-yi!

Jae-yi, why are you here? Hey.

My mom, please find my mom.

She took a lot of pictures here.

Jae-yi.

I will find your mother. I promise.

So don't worry, okay?

-Hi. -When did you get here?

What did you buy?

I went grocery shopping.

What are you going to make?

Jae-yi.

We need to talk.

Gosh, what do you have to tell me?

-Jae-yi. -Yes?

You need to stop working…

at that law firm.

What do you mean?

If you're working there just to keep this darned studio,

I'd rather

sell this studio off.

-What? -I'll get the key money

and pay off the debt.

So don’t work with that jerk, Bong Sang-pil.

Dad.

That was an important ceremony.

It was a meaningful occasion for Judge Cha Moon-sook.

Yet he dared to mess it up.

You know how I feel.

If Judge Cha didn’t find you,

if I had lost you

after I lost your mother,

I would've been

dead by now.

We must be good to Judge Cha.

We shouldn't associate

with those who harm Judge Cha.

Do you understand?

Judge Cha, Lawyer Ha Jae-yi is here.

If you're busy, I'll return another time.

No, it's okay.

I can't just send away

my precious guest.

Why aren't you asking me anything?

I'm sure you came here today

for a clear reason.

Is the conversation you had

with Sang-pil all true?

So you did come here for that.

Yes.

Jae-yi.

Do you think

punishing someone with the law

is a privilege?

People don't think of the crimes they committed,

but choose to blame me, the judge.

That's why I'm surrounded by enemies.

As the number of sentences I give increases,

the number of enemies also grows.

Punishing someone

isn't a privilege to me.

It feels more like a punishment.

Judge Cha.

I'm sure Bong Sang-pil

did it for that reason.

He's one of those who became my enemy

because they blame me

for a ruling I cannot even remember.

LAWYER BONG

Jae-yi.

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

Let me borrow the paper.

Just buy one. It doesn't even cost much.

-Hello. -Hello.

KI SEONG DAILY

The unveiling ceremony of the statue of Judge Cha Byeong-ho

took place solemnly and calmly

at Ki Seong District Court yesterday.

Judge Cha Byeong-ho is a man who represents Ki Seong,

who was well-known for his strict sentencing

-as he protected justice in Ki Seong. -A solemn and calm ceremony.

The unveiling ceremony of his statue

was a chance for all jurists to look back on law and justice…

Oh my, ma'am.

You always give me so much food.

How will you make a living?

Stop babbling and eat up.

You have to go out there and save the economy,

just as you did with Ohju Group.

Ahn Oh-ju, the son of Ki Seong,

will think of nothing but Ki Seong.

Do you want more rice?

The best city in Korea.

The most righteous city, Ki Seong.

Your mayor, Ahn Oh-ju,

will make it come true.

Vote eight for Ahn Oh-ju.

A big round of applause!

Now, Number Eight! Give me a hug!

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

-Ahn Oh-ju! -Now, go out and work, okay?

That's nice.

It's quite nice.

Boss, we also hired part-timers to forge

the public sentiment on the internet.

We can spread rumors and bad publicity for others

while covering up bad press for you.

We hired exactly 100 of those part-timers

to call them "100 Commenters."

Don't hire them as part-timers.

Hire them as regular staff.

Give them insurance coverage and you know, severance pay.

Guarantee things like that too, okay?

That way, they'll start working hard.

My goodness.

Boss, you must be so generous because you're a businessman!

You bastard. How dare you come here?

Why are you here, then?

Are you a part of his camp?

Yes, I'm the campaign manager. What do you want?

This is one messed-up camp

with a random guy as the camp manager.

My good man.

I might get attached to you if I keep seeing you.

Goodness.

And…

it's great that you brought the stowaway expert yesterday,

but you should've been more considerate about the occasion.

I came

to give you this today.

Okay. What is this?

The phone of the killer who killed Mayor Lee Young-su.

It was Ahn Oh-ju.

He told me to kill Mayor Lee!

After I brought him to the ceremony yesterday,

it'd only make sense for the news to cover the story.

Ki Seong isn't the best at treating its guests.

Goodness.

You've messed up all the events and ceremonies,

yet how could you be so shameless?

I'm sure you're curious to find out what's in that phone.

Why don't you check it?

Nothing could be inside an empty can.

Not even a single penny.

Isn't that right, Gwan-dong?

Yes, Boss.

It's the dead man's article.

Be respectful and let it go.

Did you know Bong Sang-pil is an ex-convict?

What?

I didn't know.

It seemed like he knows a lot about you,

but you know nothing about him.

It's all my fault.

I should've told you earlier.

It's a law firm run by a junior of mine.

I secured a position for you, so tell me when you're ready.

I don't want to see you working with Bong Sang-pil,

a man who harbors hostility

against me.

Where were you? You wouldn't even answer the phone.

The law firm can't operate properly

with the paralegal out of the office.

Do you think I'm your secretary?

Who were you with? Don't take it out on me.

No conversations about your private life? Okay.

Then I'll do a briefing for you regarding the trial.

We have only two trials left

until the last trial for Mayor Lee Young-su's case.

Prosecutor Kang has the stowaway expert

who helped Ahn find a killer,

but that doesn't mean we can sit back and relax.

We must make the stowaway expert mention Ahn Oh-ju's name on the trial.

Do you really think he'll mention Ahn Oh-ju's name?

We have to make him say it.

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

Do you recognize him?

A stowaway expert who was with Chairman Ahn's secretary.

I've interrogated him before.

What was his charge?

Habitual drug abuse.

He was a druggie.

But he managed to avoid the charges like a slippery eel.

Tell us everything,

from his underwear size to his associates.

-Or his weakness. -He lives the worst kind of life.

Guys like him have no weaknesses.

-They have nothing to lose. -Everybody has something to lose.

Everyone has at least one person they wish to protect

right here.

MAYOR LEE YOUNG-SU'S MURDER CASE, 4TH HEARING

What happened?

I thought that stowaway expert was indicted.

He's here as a witness for the prosecution.

A witness for the prosecution?

He's a witness, not a suspect?

That's right.

What could he possibly say

as a witness for the prosecution?

What? Did you know this already?

So? How's the trial going?

The stowaway expert is in court.

That's not what's important!

Is he a witness or a suspect?

He's a witness.

Yes, if he keeps his mouth shut at the witness's seat,

all will be fine.

Yes, everything is clear.

Look at you. You're actually trying to look like a candidate.

What will you do if I actually get elected?

I won't even care

even if you take the Presidency.

I do know very well

that you only care about Judge Cha and Prosecutor Kang.

Actually, I am here to tell you that.

Don't you dare get anywhere near Yeon-hee.

She shines so brightly that even I can't look at her straight.

Get it?

Ms. Nam, when it comes to your girl,

you're just a mother.

Do you know Mr. Jo Beom-jin,

also known as the killer?

I don't.

Are you sure?

I see.

Did you commission Mr. Jo Beom-jin, the killer,

to murder Mayor Lee Young-su?

No. I never did such a thing.

Oh my.

I made a mistake. I'm sorry.

Let me change the question.

I forgot that his job

is just a middleman.

When someone asked you to find a killer, did you introduce them

to Mr. Jo Beom-jin, the killer?

Lawyer Bong was at the scene

of Mr. Jo Beom-jin's death.

The attorney is prolonging the trial

with his unreasonable doubts.

Sustained. Counsel, only ask necessary questions.

Welcome, Boss.

This way, please.

I hear that you are

a famous middleman among criminals.

But you have no criminal record.

No, I don't.

So either you're very competent

or you always do your work perfectly.

Is that right, witness?

Do not answer.

Your Honor.

Counsel.

If you have no more questions, return to your seat.

I will ask one mandatory question

to reveal the truth about this trial.

Four years ago,

you were almost indicted for possessing and abusing drugs.

-How did you get out of that? -Witness.

You do not have to answer.

Counsel, return to your seat.

What you did four years ago, seven years ago,

and many years before that until now

may be revealed before your mother, yet you do not care?

Objection!

The attorney is polluting the essence of this trial

with completely unrelated facts.

Counsel, you've been warned.

Answer me.

Who did you tell about Jo Beom-jin?

-Your Honor. -Counsel! I'm warning you.

Listen to me.

You may be a witness now,

but you'll be the defendant next time.

Which is right there!

Counsel! Go back to your seat! Now!

I heard your mother is suffering from heart disease.

Will you become a criminal in front of your mother?

Counsel, I warned you.

I'll punish you for contempt of court.

Tell me who told you to do it.

Tell me who it was, now.

Counsel, I warned you.

I will answer.

Witness, you do not have to.

I…

I was paid to find a killer for someone.

And that person…

was someone's secretary.

Whose secretary was it?

Chairman Ahn Oh-ju.

I didn't know he'd kill Mayor Lee Young-su.

I really didn't.

I shouldn't have done it. I'm sorry.

That's all,

Your Honor.

I'm sorry.

I will announce the ruling at the next trial.

Even someone like that witness

had a side he didn't want to show his mother.

Everyone has someone they wish to protect.

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

Let's wait until they say goodbye.

Yes, Boss.

I was unable to protect my mother.

So what now?

My name was mentioned

at the trial.

That rascal.

That jerk, Bong Sang-pil.

He just took a big dump on everything.

I'm sorry.

You must

go hide somewhere far away

so no one can see you

until this problem of mine

is solved.

Yes.

That jerk, Bong Sang-pil.

Boss, I will

get rid of him in secret so that no one will know.

You idiot.

Hey, at this point in time,

it's more important

for me to be elected as mayor

than killing that rascal.

I understand, Boss!

I mean that once I'm elected as mayor…

NEWSLINE: KI SEONG

-Delicious! -It's good.

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!

Jae-yi!

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

CRIMINALS FREE OF CHARGES, A PRICEY LAWYER FOR RICH BAD GUYS

Well done.

Were you born this competitive, Lawyer Bong?

You successfully

drew my attention.

That wasn't my goal,

but I'm glad I drew my enemy's attention.

By the way,

couldn't you arrest Chairman Ahn's secretary?

Or is it just not on the news?

We're looking for him.

So he's in hiding.

Who could've told him?

He couldn't have run away so quickly unless someone told him.

Are you suspicious of my investigators?

Or are you suspicious of me, the prosecutor in charge?

No, not you, Prosecutor Kang.

I know you're not like your mother.

Mr. Bong, what are you trying to get with this trial?

You'll be disappointed if I tell you.

It's for an unjust reason,

unlike yours.

Be it justice or a sense of duty,

the one who reveals the truth wins.

Even if

I lose the trial.

I will promise you two things

before the final trial.

Number one.

I will make sure that Wu Hyung-man is found innocent.

And what's the second one?

I will make sure you protect justice,

even if you lose the trial.

Hey, you're here alone? Where's Bong Sang-pil?

I'm not here today because of the trial.

Do we have anything else to talk about besides the trial?

Please tell me

about the Judge Cha Moon-sook you know.

I beg you.

You know

I've worked with Ahn Oh-ju for a long time, right?

I do.

There was someone who always gave him orders.

But he never told me

who that person was.

Are you saying it's Judge Cha Moon-sook?

Thinking back on it,

only one person in Ki Seong could rise above Ahn Oh-ju.

Cha Moon-sook.

That place was a lawyer's office in the past.

It has been quite long.

A woman who was a lawyer ran it alone,

and I think she had a son.

But one day,

that lawyer committed suicide,

then her son went missing.

I see. Thank you.

Sure. Come again if you have more questions.

Okay.

Hey, over here.

I see.

Hey, wait.

What is this? Blood?

-Oh, hi. -Hello.

-Chief Tae. -Hi.

You came from Seoul with Mr. Bong, right?

Yes.

Why did he come to Ki Seong?

He was a big shot in Seoul.

Well, that's…

Did you know him for a long time?

I met them on the first day they came to Ki Seong.

It was fate.

If it wasn't,

how could he have found me,

a petty loan shark?

Mr. Bong came for you?

Well, he came for my office

rather than for me,

but that's pretty much the same.

Well, Boss Bong Sang-pil said

it had to be this--

-Hey, get back to cleaning. -What?

Clean everything including Sang-pil's desk.

Make sure it's clean.

-Hurry! -Yes.

And sweep the floor.

Goodbye.

-Goodbye. -Goodbye.

Goodbye.

She's leaving so soon?

Sang-pil, where are you?

CHIEF TAE

Mr. Bong!

I'll take the key money for this studio and pay back the overdue debt.

She should be working as a lawyer.

It's all my fault.

She will be back when her penalization is over. Don't worry--

No, don't do that.

I want her to quit.

-Judge Cha-- -I was there.

You were too careless.

I thought you'd be better than this.

I…

I'm forever indebted to that family.

I feel uneasy to know

that my daughter, Jae-yi,

is working with you.

That food truck owner had no reason to commit suicide!

It's not because of financial issues.

He didn't take out a single loan!

A repayment reminder was found

in his pocket!

Hey, I checked with the private loan office,

but they said they never issued it.

What's wrong with you?

Then he must've had a different reason!

We need to dig into it again!

It's way too suspicious!

Good grief.

Our superiors told us to close the case.

Try to read the situation, okay?

Detective Gong.

Hello.

Here's what you wanted.

Why do you need this case?

Because of your mother?

No, I'm just curious about something.

I was in charge of this case.

Lawyer Choi Jin-ae's suicide.

Is that true, Detective?

She was a great lawyer.

Better than any lawyer I've ever seen.

My mother was also a lawyer,

just like Ms. Ha.

Your mother raised her son very well.

She was a totally different type of lawyer from me.

She's still years ahead of me.

INVESTIGATION RECORD

Good thing I made a copy.

As soon as the case was closed,

the original file disappeared into thin air.

Disappeared?

I think there's something about this case.

Do you mean that it may not be suicide?

That's what my hunch says,

and Lawyer Choi Jin-ae

isn't the kind of mother who'd die

and leave her son behind.

Man, her son was so smart.

I still remember him.

You look like crap.

Prison life must be tough.

You jerk.

I'm going to kill you.

Come on.

Be a gentleman, will you?

You need to get out of here first if you want to kill me.

I heard Bong said he'll get you out of here.

I never did anything wrong, did I? So why?

Your crime is you know too many dirty

and dark things about me.

My crime is that I trusted you and opened up to you.

You sick bastard.

Hey! Come on! Sit down.

Be a gentleman.

It's hundreds of times more difficult

to cover up the sin you commit

than to actually commit the sin.

And power can do that difficult thing.

And oh my.

I happened to have that power.

Bong Sang-pil came here to get revenge

on those who killed his mother.

And you and I are two of those people.

So do you really want your life to be in his hands?

It's ridiculous to hear those words come out of your mouth.

At the least, that guy said he'll get me out of here.

That he'll get me out of here first before he kills me.

That's enough. Enough with that.

Watch this instead.

It's…

Where did you get it?

That's it. Those eyes right now.

Those are the eyes you had when you looked at me before, punk.

Give it to me!

Give it to me!

My friend.

I hold the key

to get you out of here.

Let's survive.

Both you and me.

I didn't expect your secretary to be mentioned in the trial.

If I kept on doing it, this wouldn't have happened!

So why didn't you do a better job?

I just need to do it right from now on.

You should.

Honey, it's me. Are you all right?

If this trial ends well,

I can get out of here right away.

So please wait until--

Chairman Ahn paid

all my overdue medical bills.

And he

-always makes a visit. -What?

Honey, I…

Honey?

-Honey. -Honey! What is it?

Doctor! The patient is unconscious!

Honey! Are you all right? Honey!

Inmate 5205.

Your lawyer is here.

Mr. Bong, Inmate 5205 refused to see you.

Young lady, do you like paintings?

I may be a gangster, but I still love paintings.

Everyone wishes to live a long life.

Ever since Mr. Bong Sang-pil became a corporate lawyer,

he has been making your wishes come true,

while he makes sure everything looks legal on the outside.

My dear Ms. Lawyer,

you're definitely not here for these paintings.

A man with 12 ex-convictions.

The boss of Daewoong Gang, the largest gang in Gangbuk Province.

Your criminal history is loaded with all kinds of assault,

except for murder and robbery among the five major crimes.

Goodness.

You brought my resume so I can't get away.

All right.

Why did you come to see me today?

Why did Bong Sang-pil come to Ki Seong,

when he was working fine under you?

Did he come under your order?

My order?

You came without knowing my relationship with Sang-pil,

my dear Ms. Lawyer.

What do I not know?

Then did you know this?

Sang-pil's mother, Lawyer Choi Jin-ae,

is my biological sister.

Sang-pil is my nephew.

My only family by blood in this entire world.

It was solely Sang-pil's decision to return to Ki Seong,

his hometown, where his mother died.

It was a decision he bet his whole life on.

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

as soon as he got there?

What do you mean?

Wasn't the timing too perfect to call it a coincidence?

If it wasn't a coincidence…

Then what could it be?

Hello, Uncle.

That young lady came by just as you said.

Sang-pil.

Don't trust people easily,

especially when you're there.

I've been watching her for a long time.

I trust her.

Yes, okay.

Be careful. Both of you.

A HUMAN RIGHTS LAWYER COMMITS SUICIDE

My hand!

Let me go!

Hurry!

Now!

Did you report this to the police?

I told you not to do it!

Let's go far until things calm down. That's the only option.

Do you remember what I told you on your first day?

Yes.

I told you not to think about getting her revenge.

Yes.

A man should only cry when no one is watching.

Sang-pil, you may be too young to understand.

But in this darned world,

the law is ruined and people aren't trustworthy.

And revenge

only calls for more revenge.

Oh my, Lawyer Bong Sang-pil.

Are you working late at this hour?

What brings you here?

Because I have a business, what else?

Let's see.

This was your mother's office, right?

You have a good memory.

Yes, I knew it.

The address was quite familiar.

All criminals return to their crime scene,

just like you did.

Didn't you get sick

from eating that thing?

Or did you?

Ever since you were little,

I thought you were extraordinary.

Hey.

Do you remember?

Right here.

You hid yourself in the cabinet,

and stayed there

without making a sound.

Hey, don't worry about it.

Just stay seated.

You're scaring me, okay?

I am the culprit

who killed your mother, you know.

Ahn Oh-ju.

Hey, man.

Calm down.

I can kill you right now, right here,

just like how you killed my mother.

Didn't you return to Ki Seong as a lawyer

to get revenge on me through the law?

Well, come on. Let me go.

Let's be gentlemen. Okay?

You got the law,

and I have money, right?

Hey, wait.

I also have the law on my side

Thanks to Judge Cha Moon-sook.

What’s wrong with you?

Since you spared my life once,

I won't forget what you did.

Okay?

See you on my turf next time.

My goodness. Oh, right.

You should go see Wu Hyung-man.

He might have changed his mind.

Where's Judge Cha?

No one is allowed in without my permission.

Goodness, Ms. Nam. I'm way too old to get your permission.

Chairman Ahn.

Keep your records straight.

We're not on the same level.

A person born with a silver spoon

and a servant who smelled like fish

are not the same.

It looks like you've been dying to say that.

Ms. Nam, when you and I were young,

we were both servants of this household, on the same level.

Good grief.

The same level?

I'm running for an office too, okay?

Doesn't that mean we'll be

on the same level now?

What did you say?

You've been trying hard to earn a position

after you made piles of money.

Oh, how you've changed.

Don't worry, okay?

You might think I'm after power

since I'm becoming a politician.

But I'm doing this to make money.

I'm getting into politics simply to make more money.

Nothing matters more to me than money.

That's one thing we share in common.

But nothing else.

Hey, I haven't seen her before.

Hey, you're not supposed

to let just anybody come into this dignified house.

If you let in just any old creatures,

you might cause a disaster!

Don't you worry!

She's an innocent blind woman.

Hey!

What are you doing?

Are you saying you don't trust me?

If you're so careful with everything,

why did you mangle the trial?

If a simple mention of my secretary's name

can make me guilty,

then it wouldn't be your court.

And covering up a crime

is your real power, Judge Cha.

People are not stupid. Don't get the wrong idea.

I didn't.

Well,

that's why I'm trying to be careful, okay?

I mean, there's the internet and other social media platforms.

And when it comes to money,

anyone would jump into manure for a chance to get more,

just as humans have always been.

And the same goes for you, Chairman Ahn.

Yes.

When everyone's treated the same just because they're human,

it disgusts me.

Yes, ma'am.

I heard you were suspended after punching a judge.

How do you know that?

A background check?

If you

hurt her in any way,

I'll kill you with my own hands.

Stop! Sang-pil, stop!

What are you looking at?

Well, I… I just wanted to see

what your mother looks like.

Have you ever given her a serious thought?

Judge Cha Moon-sook is

like a mother in my heart.

I know.

The last thing my mother said to me

was never to return to Ki Seong,

but I have something to do here.

What?

You're still here?

I didn't ask you to work late.

That's not like you.

I became a bit curious about this place.

You're suddenly attached to your workplace?

Well, I was like that too.

I wanted to clean this place up before a trial

and wanted to reorganize my desk.

It's full of secrets.

This office.

This was also your mother's office.

The day your mother committed suicide

and the day my mother went missing

were the same day.

MISSING

You know what that means, right?

Tell me, Sang-pil.

CHA MOON-SOOK

THE SEVEN

A HUMAN RIGHTS LAWYER COMMITS SUICIDE

NOH HYUN-JU

Why do you have pictures of me and my mom?

Tell me

the real reason you came to Ki Seong.

Ahn Oh-ju killed my mother

in front of me

in this very place.

The one who ordered Ahn Oh-ju to kill my mother

was Cha Moon-sook.

What?

And…

what happened to me and your mother's disappearance

were all done by Cha Moon-sook.

What happened to me and your mother's disappearance

were all done by Cha Moon-sook.

She blindly trusted someone who works for her.

That's what she did wrong.

I'm sorry.

You've been saying you want to be on my side, haven't you?

Nice to meet you.

My dear Prosecutor Kang Yeon-hee.

"The Seven," the real powers behind Ki Seong.

Our true enemies.

There's only one word left. The most important word.
