(Episode 12)

Gosh, look at you. I can't believe...

our almighty Mr. Mantis is handing out flyers.

How much do you get paid hourly?

Take these, and hand them out too.

Have a bowl of soup.

- Do you want to score a big one? - No.

- I need to check someone out. - I won't.

You're the best when digging dirt on people in Far East Asia.

No, I'm not.

He's the owner of a club who used to be a judo player.

He got beaten up by a waiter. That doesn't add up.

Find out what happened on that day.

Whatever your number is, I'll double it.

From now on, I'm going to live a good life.

You need money to live a good life.

I'm serious. I'm done with that business.

Gosh, what's gotten into you?

I'm well aware that you're trying to find someone right now.

Where did you hear that?

What are some good deeds you've done...

for this world?

Why would I do a good deed when this world didn't help me?

Here's the closest thing I did for this world.

You release carbon dioxide when you breathe.

That's the only thing I added to this world.

I'm like a carbon dioxide generator.

If you're responsible for the global warming, you'll be imprisoned.

Let's not talk about that. Look.

I'll double your fee and give you extra 10,000 dollars. Are you in?

You've got to be kidding me.

Tell you what.

My dream is to become a husband of a woman...

and a father of a child.

And if I get lucky and have a grandchild,

I couldn't have asked for more.

This is the biggest dream I have throughout my entire lifetime.

- Are you retiring? - You must have a dream...

and want to make something of your life, don't you?

Yes.

- What is it? - A judge.

You ought to wake up after all the advice I have given you.

You're still clueless. You're still talking nonsense.

A judge?

Ma Ryoung, if you're not happy with the money,

I can give you 10,000 or 20,000 dollars more. Come on.

Is this the police station?

This is the new restaurant that just opened up.

I'm about to lose it. This guy is causing a disturbance here.

- Yes, yes. That's right. - Darn it.

Yes, he just left. You don't need to come.

If you're a judge, I'm a chief judge!

Pay before you go!

Here's the ending comment.

- But that's yours. - They want you to do it.

- Who does? - The station manager.

- Why? - Someone...

posted an online question to why only men are main anchors,

and that you're being held back...

because you're a woman.

Were you held back because you're a woman?

I can't say I didn't have disadvantages because I'm a woman.

But I won't be advantaged just because I'm a woman, either.

You've shut me up there.

The managing partner of the top law firm...

gave Kim and Park of the Ministry of Justice...

gave 85-dollar golf balls as a bribe, last month on the 8th.

Is an 85-dollar golf ball considered a bribe?

I don't know. I should quit golf.

Min Goo Nam is a good fighter.

Ji Chang Soo can't fight.

Can't win. Wins.

Mr. Mantis retired.

Who can dig into them?

(Min Goo Nam, Ji Chang Soo)

(Your Honor...)

- Yes, Judge Han. - What are you doing?

You know the Ko Hyang Ja case.

The amusement park injury and obstruction of business.

We have a case like that?

You presided over three pretrial hearings already.

- I did? - Yes.

That's right. I remember.

The defendant's daughter sent a letter.

- She says to punish her mom. - What?

Her mom has five priors.

My gosh. She's a pro.

In this field, there's a special pride that comes with five priors.

"We have five stars." Like that.

I see. But there's a story. I think you should read the letter.

I have quite a story of my own.

I don't have time to waste on minute cases.

That's something I shouldn't say.

There's no small trial, is there?

Let's see.

Okay. Let's see.

She went to an amusement park...

and threw a fit when they wouldn't let her on a roller coaster.

She shoved the worker, who ended up falling,

and needed three weeks to recover.

No jail time. Make her pay the full settlement amount,

but she has five prior, so she'll be fined 2 to 3,000 dollars.

As for obstruction of business,

we don't want to look like we're on their side,

so six months in prison but reduced to one-year probation.

Trial over.

Let's go home.

Let's leave on time for once.

It's okay. I have to finish all of this by tomorrow.

Move.

Don't overwork yourself. Let's go. I'll drive you.

It's okay.

You couldn't go home because of me.

I'll escort you.

- Please, let's go. - Your Honor.

Do you live apart from your parents?

They immigrated to Singapore.

Singapore's nice.

Someone I know has a small business in a casino in Manila...

and has been asking me to visit, but I haven't been able to.

Manila is in the Philippines.

That's right. The Philippines. And Singapore is nearby.

Judge Han.

Do you always drink once you finish a difficult trial?

It's not hard for the people presiding over the trial.

It's hard for the people standing trial.

How did you handle it?

What?

You find all those people guilty of their crimes.

I don't know how you can handle that burden.

There must have been times when you couldn't punish them...

more than you wanted to,

and couldn't let them off when you wanted to.

Like yesterday,

there must be times you have to render decisions you don't want to.

How did you endure it?

I just...

think of it as making money.

That I'm doing this to make money.

I thought being a judge was a lonely job.

But when I saw you yesterday,

it made me think that it's a sad job as well.

What's sad? Judges are the king of the land.

You know that isn't true.

I think it'll be the same with the Ko Hyang Ja case.

You know how the daughter is blind.

They went out together when she was young,

and they bumped into someone.

So, she apologized, and do you know what that person said?

What?

Why is a blind person walking around at night?

So, they got into a fight, and she was fined for fighting.

That's how she got five priors.

People don't know how easy it is to collect priors.

Once, they went to buy a computer,

and they gave her an attitude, asking what a blind girl will do...

with a computer, so she got into another fight.

Even this amusement park matter is very similar.

I'm asking why you're singling us out!

If something happens and the roller coaster stops,

a blind person cannot escape,

so we train them separately.

Oh, this? I know how to read.

As long as I read it.

You're trying to humiliate my child in front of everyone!

That's not it. We're doing this for her safety.

It's not safety. You don't want to let disabled people on...

because it's a pain, so you're using this as an excuse...

to keep them off!

Everyone's waiting here,

but you want to take my child out and give her safety training,

everyone will be staring. Why don't you see that?

Why don't you realize that will scar her?

Call the manager.

The manager instructed me to give the safety training.

I don't need to talk to the likes of you!

Bring me the manager or whoever is in charge!

- Why are we moving? - Let's go already.

Stop it!

I'm never going anywhere with you again.

Cho Won. Sit down.

Get the manager!

It's probably because she was...

always disrespected and discriminated against.

But then, what did the poor kid working to pay for tuition...

do wrong?

We should just fine her a certain amount,

or sentence her to jail. That's all.

He was explaining the risks nicely. What did he do wrong?

To people who have been scarred,

consideration often feels like discrimination.

Do you think about things like that too, when making a decision?

Yes.

But they don't help at all, in writing the decision.

You make life so difficult for yourself.

I'm really not qualified to be a judge, am I?

That's right. You're not.

But I am curious.

Is it dangerous enough to warrant a special training?

Is discrimination the only thing the law can do for them?

I feel like I'm doing something bad, going home when it's light out.

Get some rest. You can be late tomorrow.

What's this?

How could he leave without even saying bye?

I forgot to say bye.

I've never driven anyone before. Bye.

Bye.

(The managing partner of the top law firm...)

(Joo Eun)

The person you have reached...

(It's urgent.)

It's urgent.

Should I go to the courthouse?

Soo Ho. I need to see you for a few minutes.

Can you come to the studio by any chance?

I'm busy.

Okay. I'll go to the courthouse.

No, don't do that. I'm busy, but I came home.

I see. Then I'll head to your place.

No, I'll be there.

How is it?

What a way to stop showing appreciation to other people.

It won't be a problem?

All he did was just hand over a box of golf balls.

The head of my organization got a bigger present...

from the Blue House.

Is there any clauses I can apply to this case?

You know specific clauses that point to this?

It'd be better if it's an expert opinion of a judge.

I need to make a call.

It qualifies for the illegal graft...

and the prohibition of accepting bribery.

- It's the Kim Young-ran Act. - That's right.

Since they have a professional relationship,

the gift can't go over 50 dollars.

Each person received 35 dollars more.

I think it's a violation of the law.

But the total amount comes out to only 105 dollars.

People will have different opinions that this much amount is...

allowed or shouldn't be allowed.

I believe that the decision made for this case...

will set the moral values for our society.

I knew it. You're truly a new wave.

I'm sorry to call you after sending you home.

See you tomorrow.

A man in his 20s stole a pack of cigarettes at a store...

was sentenced to eight months in prison.

Everyone accepted 35 dollars more. In total, they got 105 dollars more.

It's a violation of the Kim Young-ran Act.

People will question if punishing them is necessary.

But that decision will become...

our moral compass.

(Song So Eun)

("A man in his 20s stole a pack...)

To add,

"A man in his 20s stole a pack of cigarettes at a store..."

"was sentenced to eight months in prison."

That was his sentence.

"A man in his 30s who stole 2 packs..."

"was sentenced to one year in prison."

"The monetary damage was less than 10 dollars."

"And these men were sentenced to about a year in prison."

"Could we say that 105 dollars..."

"is a small amount?"

Who are you?

The men who stole the cigarettes? Hold on.

No. The one you called.

It was a trainee judge from the institute.

It sounded like it was a woman.

Yes, she's smart and good at her job too.

Is she pretty?

Totally.

Sometimes, she's a tiger. Sometimes, she's a cat.

She switches back and forth which is quite attractive.

She's not my type.

I know that she's not your type.

I don't want to get the wrong idea.

And I don't want to get jealous even more.

- Don't make me act immature. - She's just a trainee judge.

- Don't make me act immature. - She's just a trainee judge.

Your voice sounded so sweet.

You've never used that voice to me.

I understand that you're taking care of your subordinate.

Let's stop it.

This is childish.

Thank you for coming. I know you're busy.

I hope there were days you would come rushing to me.

I should get back inside.

This is my first closing line. Things are getting hectic.

People are watching here.

Stop changing your eyes back and forth.

These eyes are sexier.

Bye.

I must look the fanciest today.

I must look fancy.

Did something happen?

I'm not sure either.

We have to do it today. When would we do it then?

But in order to do that, I must go through the protocol.

Why? A judge is asking here. Is it not possible?

No, it's possible. It is possible,

but if you do this out of the blue...

The protocol... This is impossible, sir.

I'm a judge. Can't I ask for a favor?

Yes, you can.

But expecting me to do this within a few hours...

- That might be too... - You can do it, right?

I can do it.

Because of that,

I dressed up to the nine today. See? Goodness.

Come on, do this for me.

I'll be back.

- You can do it. - I can do it.

You took these files home yesterday.

Yes, that's why I'm giving them back today.

Do I have to redo all of them?

I feel this whenever I see these files.

That how valuable you are to my office.

I really might die if I try to finish this before going home.

You should've made me work late yesterday.

You will work late today. Good luck.

You can get some sleep. It's fine.

No, I'm not sleepy at all.

We're here.

I'm sorry. I fell asleep.

Let's go.

Wait, I thought we were meeting a lawyer.

This is the meeting point.

- At the amusement park? - You said you weren't sure...

if kindness can be considered discrimination or not.

Hurry.

A judge is here. They ought to set off the fireworks.

- This way. - Gosh. Unbelievable.

Thank you for your cooperation.

The announcement hearing is nearing. I hope you understand.

This is Judge Han Soo Ho.

And these are the managers and executives of the amusement park.

This is Lawyer Oh Sang Chul who's representing the amusement park.

- Judge Han. - Yes.

I'm sorry to call you late at night.

You sued Ms. Ko Hyang Ja for interference with your business.

When the train stops on the railway,

is it hard for the blind to evacuate?

We concluded that it would harder compared to average people.

According to the company's bylaw regarding safety,

the manager sufficiently tried to persuade the defendant.

Are you sure it's that hard to evacuate?

Hard enough for a separate training?

- Yes, it is. - Have you tried it?

We have concluded that it falls under such a category...

which can be generally deduced.

How can you really know from a deduction?

I'll go up and try to evacuate while covering my eyes.

I must know how dangerous it is...

to see if the training is appropriate or not.

I...

prepared this.

Judge Han, could we have a word?

Soo Ho.

That's not the point of obstruction of business.

Training a disabled person separately in a public place...

may be considered discrimination.

That's unreasonable, and that's a civil matter.

- This is a criminal case. - Come on.

What are friends for?

I'll talk to my client.

You... You'll climb down from there?

I won't be alone. Mr. Jo will join me.

Me? Why?

I'll have my eyes covered. I need someone to guide me.

Why are you doing this to me?

Plus, I'm allergic to amusement rides.

Then do you want to cover your eyes? I'll guide you.

Your Honor.

Even if we try to be understanding of the defendant's position,

a woman would be guiding her blind daughter...

to escape following safety procedures.

Even if you cover your eyes,

you are still a healthy young man.

The situations are not equivalent.

Men and women alike can ride the roller coaster.

Why can't I do it because I'm a man?

We believe it is an unfair request.

And if I'll still do it?

It is not an equivalent situation, so we cannot permit it.

I'll do it.

No. It's dangerous.

So Eun.

You can't go on high things. You're afraid of heights.

He's a friend from school.

So, I can...

just get on this, right?

Okay.

It's not an escape, but an evacuation.

You don't need to risk your life.

We can stop if you get scared.

I've always wanted to do something like this.

It's just like renting out...

the entire amusement park for a date.

Of course, it isn't a date, but...

I'm so excited.

This is where I'm standing.

Please follow my instructions.

For an unknown cause, the roller coaster...

has been stopped.

But please, do not panic,

and follow my instructions.

- We'll start now. - Okay.

Please walk over the emergency staircase.

Please, do not run.

Please walk very slowly.

Please follow me.

Let's go.

Slowly.

Are you okay? So Eun? Are you okay?

Come on.

So Eun.

It's okay. You did great just for getting this far.

I'll remove the blindfold.

Wait.

Wait.

I can do it.

I'm not afraid.

You don't need to do this.

No. I'm... I'm not afraid.

Okay. Let's go.

Okay.

So Eun.

The harder you grab something, the more scared you get.

Because you're afraid it'll disappear if you let go.

It's better to hold it lightly. Okay?

Lighten your grip.

Okay.

Okay. A little more.

A little more.

This is perfect.

Next.

Should we start with your left foot or your right?

Left. No, no. My right.

Okay. What does that matter, right?

Okay. Use either foot.

I'll go with you.

Let's go.

Okay.

It's about 30m to the stairs.

It's worth renting out the entire amusement park.

How much would that cost?

It's 25m to the stairs.

If it's about a million dollars, I should rent it out sometime.

Okay.
