Original subtitles

- You startled me. - It's okay.

What's wrong?

Everyone went to take pictures, so no one's here.

You're so cute.

Let's go out. It's stuffy in here.

Let's go in.

- I said, let's go in. - What are you doing?

- Come on. - Stop it!

Let's go in.

Let go!

- Come in. - No!

I thought you liked me.

Still, this isn't right.

Well...

Sure, we may sleep together someday, but not yet.

Especially not today.

You're making me sound like a jerk.

- Get over here. - Stop it!

I'll make you feel good.

Stay still.

He lifted your legs...

in a V, and raped you.

That's what you testified.

Is that correct?

Yes.

When rape victims resist,

it's impossible for the rapist to lift their legs in a V.

Did you actually resist?

Please explain what happened in greater detail.

Ms. Song Ji Yeon.

Ms. Song Ji Yeon.

(Your Honor)

What I do know for sure is this.

The law is a standard that divides this world.

Let's say this is the normal standard.

If you're afraid of the law,

you're below it.

If the law is a joke to you,

you are...

way up there.

This is a wish bracelet.

If it breaks off by itself, your wish will come true.

You can't cut it yourself.

- What if someone cuts it for me? - No. That won't work either.

If it never breaks off, my wish won't come true?

- Probably. - Then isn't this more of a curse?

What if it never breaks for the rest of my life?

Then you'll be wearing it for the rest of your life.

Seriously?

I want to make a wish now.

- Right now? Yes. - Yes. All of a sudden?

Let's make a wish.

Ji Yeon! Ji Yeon!

No!

No, Ji Yeon.

Ji Yeon.

Ji Yeon, you're so mean.

How will I survive if you die?

I'm scared. I'm scared.

I told you that I was going to kill all of them.

It's me.

Do you want to have a cup of coffee?

Thank you very much for today's trial.

Here is our gift.

It's as I promised.

My severance pay was seized too.

My family is going to starve to death.

Please... Please help me.

But I really don't know how I can do that. Please help me.

Darn it.

He probably thought that no one would dare imprison him.

He stopped the surgery because he was sentenced to imprisonment.

He even fired the victim's son too. Isn't that petty?

That's not even taking his revenge. He's just taking it out on them.

The guilty defendant is staying at a luxurious hospital because...

he's shocked by the punishment he deserves.

And the victim's son came to beg for help.

How could I not be angry?

Do you know how it feels...

to have no other options than to kill yourself?

I feel the same way as you.

There's nothing I can do legally.

He beat up an old man and caused the victim to go blind.

Giving the victim one of his eyes would be fair.

Instead, he's furious at the seven years he got?

Ever since the birth of Homo sapiens, the mankind...

has never been fair to others. Not even once.

It will stay the same, and the law isn't any different.

Why? Because men created it.

This is what Mr. Shin said to me...

after going through this trial, he said he was frightened.

I feel exactly the same way.

I'm scared of you.

You called me out here to talk about Lee Ho Sung.

I came here for you.

Let's stop talking about work.

Then you should go home. I'll finish up and go home.

- So Eun. - I liked you.

I even hoped that you would stay by my side for the rest of my life.

But that can't be.

You know everything.

You know what your father did.

You know what your friend did to my older sister.

Must I be...

punished for that?

I'm sorry.

You don't have to see me if this is uncomfortable.

Drink it.

Hello.

- Mr. Shin? - Who is this?

How could you be sleeping now?

Wake up, and listen to me.

There's money between peppers and lettuce.

I'm not giving you this, so you can get by. This is for your fight.

Take that money, and bring a lawsuit against Lee Ho Sung.

It will take about 1 or 2 years until the trial is over.

That will be enough for your family to get by until then.

This is a lot of money. Who are you?

If you know who I am, will you pay it back? Do you have money?

Is it you, Judge Han?

Have you gone mad?

Why would a judge give you money?

- Your voice sounds like his. - Goodness. No, I'm not.

My entire asset is 100,000 dollars, but I'm giving you half.

I gave you half of my life.

So hire the most expensive lawyer.

And don't give up until the end. Okay? Don't give up.

Come on, live a good life, okay?

Sleep tight.

My money.

Who is it?

Hello?

My respectable judge.

Did you drink?

Yes. I had a few.

This is just hilarious.

If the law terrifies you, you're all the way down there.

If the law is a joke to you, you are way up there.

So what?

It means nothing. It's just a play on words.

Where are you? Did you get home safely?

Don't pretend that you're a nice guy.

You abandoned a man who came to kill himself.

Why would you care if a lowly trainee judge got home safely...

or passed out on the street?

Gosh, why can't I take this off?

You did get home, right?

Judge Han,

you're such a terrible guy.

There's nothing I can learn from you.

And I don't want to learn from you either. Seriously.

Hello. Hold on.

I'm sorry.

- I'm sorry. - Gosh, she reeks of alcohol.

I'm sorry. I'm late.

- Where is Judge Han? - He's inside.

- Okay. - Judicial Trainee Officer Song.

Yes?

- Why? - You smell like alcohol.

- Is it serious? - You stink of alcohol.

Goodness. Thank you.

This pile is for your new cases.

And this is a pile of legal issues for continuations.

Right. And for the cases the defense delivered their closing arguments,

I'm in the process of writing decisions on my own.

I'm sorry that I was late today.

You must have had a bit too much to drink.

- I'm sorry. - Sorry for what?

I called you late at night.

Do you remember what you said to me?

Yes. I'm sorry.

There's nothing wrong with being honest.

So let me be honest with you.

I'm a complete thug.

You'd be in big trouble if you learn from me.

One more thing.

I'm not nice as you said, so don't expect me to be nice.

And one last thing. You didn't do anything wrong.

I was the one who delivered the sentencing.

No need for you to be upset.

Take it.

(Do you take pills for headaches often?)

Let's move the documents.

- Okay. - Let's go, Ms. Song.

Okay.

- They're our morning trials. - Okay.

Honey. It's me.

There are two red lines.

They're so pretty.

I'm pregnant.

Let's eat at home. I'll cook something good.

Take your time. Drive carefully.

Why aren't you answering me?

Drive carefully.

You drove with a blood alcohol content of 0.088 percent,

and hit the victim, causing her to die. Correct?

Yes.

Immediately after the accident, you did not call the police...

or ask for help. Correct?

I'm sorry.

You did not settle with the victim's family. Correct?

No.

Did you know that the victim was four weeks pregnant?

I'm sorry.

No more questions.

(Jerk)

Question your witness.

You did not take action...

immediately after the accident. Why was that?

You fainted from shock and was unable to do anything.

Yes.

You tried to contact the victim's family numerous times...

in order to come to a settlement,

but the family refused to meet with you. Correct?

It's my fault.

No more questions.

Go on.

The defendant drove recklessly,

thus striking and killing a person. Therefore, Prosecution requests...

that she be sentenced to three years in prison.

Give your closing remarks.

Although the defendant could not come to a settlement,

she sent a letter of apology to the family...

every single day since the day of the accident.

However, she did not hear back from the family at all,

and thus, she deposited an amount much greater than the usual...

for wrongful deaths, into an account with the court.

Whereas the crime is severe, putting into consideration...

that she is truly repenting what she has done,

and she has never committed a crime before,

we beseech Your Honor to show mercy and permit her...

to serve society to the best of her abilities.

Sure.

Defendant. Say your final words.

I...

killed a person.

I will...

carry that sin with me for the rest of my life.

I'm truly sorry.

I'm sorry.

I...

Well... I'll announce the decision next week on the 27th. Okay.

Stop crying.

Take her out.

Your Honor.

I'm the victim's husband.

There is something I'd like to say.

Go ahead.

That woman...

is the devil.

Every day,

I imagine killing her.

If not for the law,

I would kill her.

You shouldn't say that in a courtroom.

Let's take a 15-minute recess.

All rise.

Write the decision.

- Me? - Is it too hard?

I know that you must punish the person for the crime,

and not lose sight of the purpose of the sentence.

But it's too hard.

I feel bad for the victim,

and I feel bad seeing the assailant cry.

It's best to just follow the national standard.

They couldn't settle,

but it's her first offense, and she deposited a large sum.

If she's sentenced three years, with deductions for good behavior,

she'll get out in a year or two.

That's true, but it just doesn't feel right.

You don't decide on feelings. You decide by the law.

I have nothing to learn from him.

You may stop crying.

The tears won't stop.

What brand is this?

It's super strong.

May I keep this?

- Yes. - For real?

This is a tear stick. Apply it right here.

Rub it below your eyes just before the trial begins.

It'll make you cry.

You need to cry the entire time.

How much do I have to cry?

About 5 to 10 minutes.

Trials are so annoying.

Stay off of social media until the sentencing hearing.

Don't post anything of you drinking, partying, laughing,

or seeing your boyfriend.

But... I heard it was easier to settle...

if the victim just dies.

What was with that husband earlier?

I mean, I feel bad and all,

but I got drunk and made a little mistake,

that's all.

I already spent a month in a detention center.

I'll get off on probation, right?

Let's wait and see.

(Letter of Apology, Honorable Judge...)

Aren't you going home?

You told me to write the decision,

so I'm reading the assailant's letter of apology.

You didn't eat, right? Let's go.

- I'm okay. - You need to eat.

I'll take care of it.

I'll buy.

It's okay. You should go first.

You should rest on the weekend. Don't come into work.

What was that? After dumping a mountain of work on me?

(Do you take pills for headaches often?)

Here you go. Have a drink.

I think Judge Han has switched over to Hanyoung Group.

I hear he's been meeting with them.

- Judge Han... - You should just eat.

Regardless of who's teaming up,

people in the law like us should handle it.

There was a complaint that he took a bribe.

If he goes through with reopening Park Hae Na's trial,

we can use that to have him disqualified during his evaluation.

When will you grow up?

How dare you talk about getting a judge fired?

My gosh. My apologies. I've raised my son wrong.

Young people these days are very straightforward.

This is what I think.

Judges are the Han River. Prosecutors are the Geum River.

We attorneys are the Nakdong River.

We all play separately, but we all meet in the ocean eventually.

Even if we fight on opposite sides,

we should help find their way before we get rid of them.

Young judicial officers don't seem to get this point.

Look what happened to the chief justice regarding his bribery case.

How could those young judges ask to investigate the chief justice?

Do you think this is normal?

It's the same story with young prosecutors.

They even exposed senior prosecutors.

Goodness, this is a disgrace to our organization.

Judge Han.

If he keeps on acting up,

we can petition to get him to recuse himself.

He's trying to make a living too. We can't take away his job.

Getting the judge's recusal is practically impossible.

Was there a time when I couldn't make the impossible happen?

You must have a plan. You do, don't you?

What are you doing?

Give him a nice piece.

You sentenced a conglomerate's heir to seven years in prison.

You went too far to serve justice.

I heard that all the TV stations are trying to book you.

I have a favor to ask you.

Why did you break up with that announcer girlfriend of yours?

Name a price, and I'll comply.

Find out a few things for me.

Joo Eun might be a bit stiff, but she has a good reputation.

Was our famous judge a romanticist all along?

Stop digressing from the discussion.

Now that you say that, I don't feel close to you.

We didn't break up. We just fought.

We just need some time to ourselves.

Because you resigned?

How did you know that?

A judge boyfriend suddenly submitted a letter of resignation.

There's bound to be a fight.

All right. What would you like me to look into?

Everything about myself.

Good and bad. Everything.

That's quite a big range.

Find out who has it out for me.

- The list won't be short. - Someone who would actually...

try to kill me.

Including a woman with a limp.

You must have an enemy inside.

Someone was handing over information about me.

I don't know who my enemy is.

I guess you are in serious danger.

How about going to a quiet place and resting for a while?

There's no need.

Unexpectedly, I found myself a bait.

- "Bait"? - There's this guy I hate.

He must want to die in place of me. He's been running wild.

You lost a lot of weight.

Did you exercise or fast?

Wait.

Don't come. What are you doing?

Wait. Stop right there. Stop.

What are you doing?

What about you? This is my house.

Seriously? Your house?

If you're going to act this immature, change the passcode.

I was busy.

What?

Who are you?

Me... Me?

Why... Why?

Are you a good guy or a bad guy?

Well... Sometimes, I'm good. Sometimes, I'm bad.

It's still warm.

Come on out. Let's eat.

Gosh.

Didn't we break up?

I wanted to ask you. How much of it is true?

- What do you mean? - You said you quit, but you didn't.

That...

You said you were going to travel, but you might not.

- That... - Because of the bribe you took...

you said you couldn't rule, but you became a star judge.

Well, that...

You said you wanted to leave because you were sick of the job and family.

Were those all excuses to break up with me?

No, at that time... How should I put it?

- I said that? - Just apologize.

Say that you were wrong.

Then I'll let this go too.

No, let's talk about this later. Lately, I have important...

I'm sorry.

That's not enough.

I was wrong.

That won't be enough.

I said whatever you wanted me to say. What am I supposed to do?

Don't turn me into a daring woman.
