- Cheers. - Cheers. Here, here.

(Episode 22)

- Here you go. - No, no. Let me.

It's all right. Let me take care of this.

- No, no. - Hey.

- Hey, hey. - So Eun...

Rock-paper-scissors. Let's leave our lives up to fate.

The loser will grill the meat.

Come on. Even so.

How could we play rock-paper-scissors with you?

Here we go. Ready or not, the loser grills the meat. Rock-paper-scissors

- Rock-paper-scissors - Rock-paper-scissors

Men ought to play rock.

I'd like to file for an appeal. Let's play again.

- It's denied. - Why?

Don't decisions have the right to be reviewed up to three times?

I deny the appeal without any reasons.

The judge has all the power.

All right. Tell me how you like your meat.

- Eun Jung, you're up first. - Gosh, how could I possibly...

Make mine really crispy.

Okay. What about you, Dong Shik?

I like my meat slightly cooked.

Come on, I know that it was a game.

How could you boss him around? You're too rude.

Don't you know this dinner is an extension of work?

Mr. Jo. Come on. Tell me how you like yours.

I'll eat it however you grill the meat.

How can I do that?

I just want the outside to be slightly burnt,

but it can't be hard.

I want the inside to be moist, so it seals all the juices.

It must be juicy and not greasy.

And you must cut the big bones out, but not the small ones.

When you grill kimchi, if the sauce gets on the meat,

the meat gets burnt before they get cooked.

Please make sure that the sauce and the meat get mixed up.

How do you want yours?

- Just about anything works. - That sounds good.

- What about you, So Eun? - I...

want mine pretty.

I'll make the meat look pretty for everyone.

- Pretty meat for everyone. - Pretty meat for everyone.

- Hey, try some. - Thank you.

- Why don't you open it? - Let me have it.

- Here you go. - Hey, give me that.

So Eun, this is good.

Sir, I learned this on TV. Take a look.

1, 2, 3.

Isn't this fun? Isn't it?

You're so cool.

Isn't this cool?

Yes?

My judge isn't...

going on summer vacation.

It's driving me crazy too, Mother.

I'll take you to France during the Christmas holidays.

- This sad time - I said, France!

- Only after when it was gone - I love you too, Mother.

I can hear it

Close your eyes, and feel it

So Eun, you don't know how to have fun.

- No. - Come on out. Come out.

The rough path before our eyes

Okay. Smile, everyone.

Keep singing.

With just this feeling

Sing it.

I take a nap in the flowers

I take a nap in the flowers

- What are you doing tomorrow? - Well...

I'm writing decisions for a few cases and organizing the key points.

That's the problem.

Anyone who thinks about their work while having fun...

is the enemy of the mankind.

What are you doing?

I don't know.

I... I'm going to live only for today.

Let's go for a third round.

A long time ago, my sister said to me...

that I must know how to have fun to make my life awesome.

I should've had an older sister like yours.

But to me, having fun sounded scary.

People having fun, women having fun, and students having fun.

It has a bad connotation.

Someone came up with that, so we don't have fun.

You know? "You all should just work."

"Having fun is a bad thing." Just like this, you know.

But I still feel anxious when I'm having fun.

It's because you haven't had enough fun.

Once you get used to hanging out, you'll like it the most.

That's not it.

I wondered why I was nervous.

And why is that?

Let me see the picture.

- What picture? - From the karaoke earlier.

I knew it. I look terrible.

Delete it.

- Don't delete it. - My eyes are closed.

- You look cute. - No.

This one is okay.

I look insane. Look at me dancing.

Don't delete it!

Delete. No.

- Delete. - Don't delete it.

You look good, but I look funny.

Delete. This is insane.

Delete.

This one is perfect.

I don't know how I went to find my sister...

or what happened inside. I can't remember anything.

I was so nervous,

that my body, brain, everything, was frozen.

I lied down to sleep that night,

and all I could remember was...

that I couldn't breathe, and I thought I'd die.

When someone grabbed my hand,

I was finally able to breathe again.

Those two things.

I erased all my ugly pictures.

Send me the rest.

Why don't you have my father's news break tomorrow?

We can pressure disciplining Judge Han, too.

There are too many in our office that will be implicated.

It's tough.

Disclosing information about suspected crimes is nothing new.

Let the news get out, and once Judge Han is disciplined,

his term won't be renewed,

and my father can naturally retire,

then we block the news.

- That will look good. - Hey, Sang Chul.

I can't tell anymore...

whether I'm doing your work or you're doing mine.

It's all for you.

You were able to finally get the disciplinary hearing.

I forgot about that.

You know Song So Eun.

- She's an odd one. - Song So Eun?

She worked for me during her training,

and she wrote a petition for Soo Ho.

"Our judge isn't like that."

I think...

they slept together.

So Eun is my college friend.

She wouldn't do that.

Hey. No one knows when it comes to a man and woman.

To be blunt, if they didn't sleep together,

where would a mere trainee get the nerve...

to submit a petition to a disciplinary committee?

That would ruin her career.

Jung Soo.

May I see that petition?

(Scandal regarding law firm partner Oh Dae Yang's golf ball bribe)

(Scandal regarding law firm partner Oh Dae Yang's golf ball bribe)

Hey.

Why are we covering this? Wasn't that story banned?

They lifted the ban.

It was the main story,

but the station manager is beating them to the punch.

He's so conniving.

Everyone else's name is in initials,

so why is Judge Han Soo Ho's name being said outright?

He probably annoyed the higher ups because he got arrogant.

The investigation results aren't even out yet.

We're destroying a person's life.

How will we deal with the repercussions?

Why should we? We're the media.

- Then who will? - Someone will, but not us.

How could you say that?

Just because we feel bad for one person,

the media can't cover up suspicions...

and pretend not to know.

If we had to take responsibility for their lives after doing the news,

no one could do the news.

(Soo Ho)

Whether that money was borrowed or a bribe,

I'll cover it on the news if I have to.

Even if I say your name, don't be hurt.

I'll pay it back.

The law firm partner Oh Dae Yang's golf ball incident...

has turned into a bribery scandal in the legal world.

It was discovered that the star judge who rose to fame...

for sentencing a corporate heir to prison...

(Han Soo Ho)

for sentencing a corporate heir to prison,

Judge Han Soo Ho also received a bribe.

A public outcry is expected.

We'll connect to the report on the scene.

Okay. Stand by.

The law firm partner Oh Dae Yang's golf ball incident...

has turned into a bribery scandal in the legal world.

Oh Dae Young admitted a part of the accusations...

regarding the bribery during his interrogation.

(It was discovered that the star judge...)

(It was discovered that the star judge...)

The identity of the judge who received a bribe...

is in this news report.

However, the investigation has not been concluded.

The prosecutor investigating the case...

did not provide an official briefing.

Thus, the news we are reporting is nothing more than...

suspicions and doubts.

It is the media's responsibility to report suspicions.

However, it is irresponsible for the media to report...

only based on suspicions.

After receiving the news script, I struggled with the weight...

of responsibility and irresponsibility.

And I made a conclusion.

Suspicions are spread as intended by certain people,

and the media plays along and reports them.

Thus, society judges them for it, but nobody...

takes responsibility.

Our news desk wishes to break such a cycle.

The fundamental belief of the media is that we will not...

make our viewers slaves of the news, and we will not forget that.

Whereas Oh Dae Yang's corruption is merely suspicions as of now.

However, once the suspicions are confirmed to be true,

or the moment someone tries to bury those suspicions,

we will not forget and will report it on the news.

Next on the news.

I should join that announcer lady's fan club.

Won't she be fired for doing that?

Why would she be fired? They should give her an award.

She went on the news and said she won't do the news.

She's saying she won't do it if it isn't real news.

Have you seen news like that before?

Have you?

Hey, you!

Are you that great?

If you say that, what are the later news shows supposed to do?

You made a fool of the rest of the news shows.

What's your deal? Are you being paid by another station?

Hey.

Must I hear this garbage from people from other stations, too?

You're the best, and the rest are all trash?

Who are you to ruin our news and do this to our station?

Hey, you.

Resign and get lost.

If a war breaks out, you can come and report that.

Get out now!

I promised the viewers...

that I'll report once the suspicions are confirmed.

You made the promise,

but I have to take responsibility for it?

Get out.

- Write your resignation letter! - Not with my own hands, I won't.

Fire me.

You come back here. Hey!

Take care of your mess!

This is the money I borrowed. This isn't everything.

I'll give you the rest with the interest soon.

Are you trying to put distance between you and me?

I'm paying you back because I made a promise.

I don't remember such a promise.

I made a promise with my girlfriend.

You're a nice guy.

When I was being interrogated at the prosecution,

I mentioned no one's name.

Including yours, sir.

And you and I never played golf.

We only talked about going golfing together,

but you never joined me on the field.

I'm leaving.

The chairman of the disciplinary committee...

is very upset.

Sorry?

I get that you were in a tight spot,

but threatening to expose...

corruption of the judiciary branch in front of the chief justice...

wasn't like you.

I...

threatened him at the hearing?

I threatened the chief justice?

Being young isn't your weapon.

It's especially the case in the legal circle.

I'll set up a meeting on the golf course later.

Kang Ho, that jerk.

What has he done?

Should I write a decision on this one too?

What will you write?

I'm not sure.

You've already decided,

but it's different from the accepted interpretation of the law,

so you feel uneasy.

Isn't that right?

No, it's not.

That was always the case when you said you weren't sure.

Write it up and don't worry about me.

- Can I do that? - When have you not?

But why aren't you sending me the photos of us at the karaoke?

You may leave.

Yes, sir.

Have you gone mad? Aren't you embarrassed?

What do you mean, bro?

Don't call me that. You're embarrassing me too.

You threatened that clueless trainee officer...

to write a petition.

Don't you know that...

if you're suspended, the trainee officer will be ruined too?

She hasn't even started her career yet,

but you already marked her.

You ought to be ashamed of yourself as a fellow officer of the law.

What is he saying?

(Petition)

Dear Chairman of the Disciplinary Committee.

I would like to introduce myself to the panel of the committee.

I'm Song So Eun, a student from the judiciary institute.

I'm currently working under Judge Han Soo Ho's instruction...

as part of my training from the Individual Criminal Department.

Judge Han was...

the most warm-hearted judge I've ever come across.

The officers of the law are required to improve the decisions...

based on the interpretation of the law.

Judge Han went beyond his duty.

He tried to heal the wounds of the people involved in the trials...

and bring peace to them.

The judge I've observed...

is the humblest judge I've ever seen.

He stayed humble...

and showed by example that the law doesn't rule over the people.

And the judge I've observed...

is a good person.

(Sang Chul)

Yes?

It's been long.

Can we meet after you finish work?

No, I have...

a lot of work.

And I'm not ready to see you yet.

This is about Judge Han's disciplinary action.

Let's meet at Ha Yeon's bar after work.

What is it about?

I'll tell you in person.

Drink it.

What about the judge?

Did you hear anything from the committee?

Who told you to write the petition?

Judge Han made you write it, right?

How did you find that out?

The news is all over the place.

You sided with the judge who's about to be suspended.

What do you want to make yourself of?

You should've turned it down even if he asked you.

No one asked me. I did it on my own.

I wanted to write it.

Han Soo Ho will face disciplinary action for certain.

It'd be better for you to move to another judge before that.

I have a friend in the administration office at court.

I'll get you a new judge.

No, don't do such a thing.

- "Such a thing"? - I won't transfer.

Even if he gets suspended,

or it ruins my reputation, I don't care.

What's going on with you?

What do you mean?

You have no reason to stay.

I do.

What is it?

What is the reason?

Do you...

like him?

I'm just a trainee officer.

A trainee officer can't have feelings for an instructing judge.

Even if she does,

she can't make it obvious.

So that's why...

I won't think about this.

After I graduate from the institute,

when I'm not his trainee officer anymore,

then...

I can show my feelings about him.

If I'm brave enough,

I can tell him that I like him first.

My judge...

is a good person.

Sit down. Don't go.

If I stay longer, I might be disappointed in you.

Song So Eun!

Hey, Han Kang Ho!

You'd better know your limit.

How much more must you act like a lunatic to feel good about yourself?

I'll really kill you.

Hey, where have you been?

Stop acting like a lunatic.

Have you been in hiding, afraid someone might kidnap you?

You jerk.

Get out of my life quietly.

Do you think you're a real judge?

Then what about you?

You killed an innocent man to cover up...

the drug case of those rich and almighty.

You're just as unqualified to be a judge.

What do you know?

Why did I become this way?

My life was ruined because I had to pay...

your settlements and lawyers' fees!

I went to jail because of you.

That's when I stopped having a life.

But at least I led a bad life.

I wasn't a coward like you.

Watch your mouth.

Learn your place.

Just because you have it, it doesn't mean it's yours!

Then where's your place?

I'm a human being,

and you're an insect. Don't you realize that?

Give me my ID and get lost, before I press charges.

Why are you fighting in someone else's...

What are you doing?

Darn it!

How dare you curse in front of your mom?

Don't even think about seeing me again, then.

I won't. I'll never see you for as long as I live!

He's your only son.

Live a good life with him!

This jerk tells people he's an only child!

Keep it down, will you?

You jerk. Come see me after you become qualified to be a judge.

I won't give it to you until then!

Did you tell people...

you're an only child?

- Forget it. - Is it true?

Stay for a few days. I'll be back in a few days.

If you really did that, you're not qualified to be a big brother.

Don't you know how much Kang Ho cried about that?

- Don't skip any meals. - Is it true?

Is what he said true? No, right?

Good night.

(Judge Han)

(Judge Han)

(Judge Han: Want to ride the swing?)

Want to ride the swing?

Are you having fun?

Did you drink?

No.

Do you have something to say?

No.

Do you have something for me to do?

Come on.

Then why did you come?

I didn't come.

I was here before I realized it.

I was walking here and there,

and when I thought I had finally arrived somewhere, I was here.

The gravitational force must be strong here.

You must be my gravitational force.

I can't like you,

but I keep liking you,

so I can't hide it.

I...

am a trainee,

and you're a judge. That's why.

You're a good person,

and I'm a bad person.

We're not a trainee and a judge.
