(Episode 24)

Are you working today?

Yes, Your Honor. You're in on a Sunday.

I'm sorry, but I forgot my ID.

I'll let you in. Please come with me.

(Courthouse)

(Resignation)

(Resignation)

Your Honor.

Work hard.

Sorry for calling you again.

Tomorrow is the last day of trial.

I'll await your favorable judgment.

It's open to the public,

so the courtroom will be packed.

Are you afraid?

My specialty is making empty threats,

but this time, I called you to apologize.

- What? - I'm sorry for threatening...

to send you to jail for five years.

You're a victim too.

Then...

You'll probably get what your lawyer told you.

You won't go to jail.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

But...

you and I...

will carry that crime with us for the rest of our lives.

What crime?

Lee Ho Sung, Choi Min Gook, Kang In Gyu, and you...

did drugs together.

Their names were identified on the initial call...

to the Emergency Center.

But...

they are so powerful.

A conglomerate's heir, a medical group's heir,

and a politician's son.

So,

it was buried with other news.

It should've ended as manslaughter,

but news begot news...

and enraged the entire nation,

and made him a disgusting murderer.

That man...

was sentenced to death.

I...

never heard...

A person died...

in order to cover up a drug party...

by hot-shot families' children.

No.

I never heard that.

That never happened.

I don't know much,

but I think actors are people who make...

other people happy.

You make them laugh and cry,

get angry for them, and get revenge together.

That's how people become happy.

I hope...

you are one of those people.

I'm a commoner,

so I can't make solid promises like an heir.

I can't do anything for you, either.

But I will promise you this one thing.

I will cheer on every work that you do...

in the future.

I'll go now. See you in court.

(Courthouse)

I knew you'd write this.

You're always the best,

but you're especially the best today.

What?

That's what I'd like to ask.

Why were you like that yesterday?

- Yesterday? - You came yesterday...

and took something out of the safe.

I know I said we should be purely professional at work,

but I didn't mean for you to ignore me like that.

Yesterday,

I came to work and took out something from...

I'll be in the courtroom.

I was sick.

I was so sick, that I got a strong shot.

I was out of my mind, and I don't remember much either.

If I were myself...

So, if I were in my right mind, I wouldn't have done that to you.

- No. - I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I am.

Were you very sick?

- Yes. - What was wrong?

Everything hurt.

Why didn't you call or text, then?

I will, from now on.

You weren't the person I knew.

I'm sorry for startling you.

Your hand.

I'll be in the courtroom.

Were you really sick?

Are you okay?

Do you need medicine?

I'm fine.

Don't be sick.

Soo Ho, what are you up to?

He wanted to see you before the final day of the trial,

so I arranged this meeting.

You wouldn't let me even contact you when I kept begging to meet,

but I see you often, now that I said I'd kill myself.

Don't be like that.

We'll see each other often once today is over.

Be patient for one day. Don't whine.

The lawyer should step outside.

Once the trial is over,

go to Africa for about 3 or 4 months,

and do volunteer work.

I've already finished talks with the studios for you...

to do a variety show afterward.

Ho Sung.

Let me ask you something.

Go ahead.

I was just one of your play-things, right?

Did you dream of becoming a conglomerate's madam?

You're so cute.

Can't I dream?

Of course, you can dream.

It's just a dream, anyway.

Fine.

I'll go now.

Come on, Hae Na.

I wasn't playing you.

I sincerely liked you, and I still do.

I'm truly sorry...

for getting ourselves out...

and making you stand trial by yourself.

I'll repay you many times over.

The trial will go well,

and you'll make your comeback.

Let's climb to the top and become a top star!

You will...

go with me to the end.

- You promise? - You know.

Is there anything in this country that I can't do?

(Clerk's Table)

Is Ji Chang Soo present?

He is currently...

in the emergency room with acute hepatitis,

(Defense)

so he could not be in attendance.

Please permit us to proceed in absentia.

That would be disadvantageous to the defendant.

- What does the defense think? - We are fine with it.

Fine.

Prosecution, begin.

We have nothing to say.

Defense. Give your closing arguments.

There is nothing to say.

(Prosecution)

I will announce the decision next Wednesday.

Next. Park Hae Na.

It's been a long trial, right?

It'll end today.

Prosecution, you may begin.

I have nothing to say.

Perhaps you have no desire to uncover the truth.

I have the desire!

However, I have nothing to say.

What a great prosecutor.

Closing arguments.

I have nothing to say.

I assume you want to just end the trial already.

I'll oblige.

Defendant. Give your final statement.

You have nothing to say?

(Defendant)

I will announce the decision next Wednesday.

You don't have to say anything.

I will give...

my final statement.

I'll listen.

I was in a hotel club bathroom,

a stranger gave me something, saying it'll help me sober up,

so I took it and used it.

The next day, in the ER,

I realized it was a drug.

No one took it with me.

I took it by myself.

I apologize for causing trouble.

Throughout the several days in court,

I repeated this statement over and over like a parrot.

I'm sorry. It was all...

a lie.

The day of the incident,

I went to a private bar in Gangnam with people I know.

I'm going to run for the Assembly.

- What? - For real?

When my father became the party head,

he said he won't run anymore,

on the premise that I be number three on the ballot.

What are you waiting for?

Pour Assemblyman Kang a drink.

Pour him a drink.

Are you really going to be an Assemblyman?

Of course.

Hey. If it's number three on the ballot,

isn't that a free ride?

- It is. - Do your job right.

I'll make you the main model for national healthcare.

- Really? You promise? - Hey.

This won't do. You need to drink.

- You need more alcohol. - Let's party it up.

- Let's really drink tonight! - Congratulations, Assemblyman Kang!

- Congratulations. - Bottoms up.

It was our usual spot,

and a waiter that we knew gave us the drugs.

Then there was an incident.

(Bank check for 1,000 dollars)

Thank you. Enjoy yourselves!

- Bring the drugs, you jerk! - Come here.

Here.

Here.

Hand it over.

The defendant is lying!

Do you realize what you're doing?

Sit.

- Your Honor! - Sit!

Go on.

One of them got high...

and assaulted the waiter and the bar owner.

What? Have you lost your mind?

What was that?

- Stop it! - Are you insane?

- Please, stop. - Stop it!

You jerk. I can't take it!

Sir. Please, calm down.

What?

I'm leaving. This isn't fun.

Did you block it?

You blocked it?

Then once they realized what happened was going to get out,

they came to me and asked me...

to say I took the drugs by myself.

(Prosecution)

They said they'll say...

the assault was between the owner and the waiter.

I accepted that offer...

and lied in court.

Why was that?

They said...

they'd guarantee my future.

Why are you changing your testimony now?

Yesterday, I met a dear fan of mine.

That person...

hoped I was a good person.

I decided to believe that person's promise to cheer me on for life...

and to speak the truth.

Who was the waiter that brought you the drugs?

It was Ji Chang Soo.

Can you tell us the names of the people...

you took the drugs with that day?

Yes.

Lee Ho Sung of Osung Group.

Professor Kang In Gyu of Hankook University.

And Choi Min Gook of Choi Hospital.

We'll take a five-minute recess.

Park Ha Na changed her testimony!

It was a drug party. Print it!

Lee Ho Sung of Osung Group. Professor Kang In Gyu.

Choi Hospital's heir Choi Min Gook.

Those are the names that came out in court.

Use their real names. It's okay legally!

Your Honor.

What happened?

I told you,

something was up.

How did you know?

Lowlives can recognize lowlives.

Why aren't you laughing?

The person...

The person the defendant named...

Choi Hospital's heir, Choi Min Gook.

Your sister's rapist.

Are they one and the same?

It's okay now.

The media will take care of the rest.

What is it? No?

It won't work?

Section 234 of Criminal Procedures.

Section 234...

Recess is over.

Do you have anything more to say?

I'm sorry,

and I thank you.

Thank you for having the courage. You may sit.

(Defense Counsel, Defendant)

We will end the trial.

However, I can't decide the date for announcing...

my decision.

Stand up.

- Me? - Yes. Stand up.

I permit you to speak.

Explain what section 234 of Criminal Procedures says.

Yes, Your Honor.

Section 234 of Criminal Procedures, paragraph 1.

"If a person states that a crime has been committed,"

"one who hears the statement may report such a crime."

"However,"

"if the performance of their duties, civil servants..."

"who hear the statement that a crime has been committed..."

"must report such crime."

And how does one report the crime?

According to Section 237,

one must submit it in writing or report it orally...

to a prosecutor or a judicial police officer.

Thank you for the explanation. You may sit.

Did everyone in the courtroom hear that?

You don't need to write anything. You can press charges verbally.

Prosecution! Listen up!

By the testimony of Park Hae Na,

I'd like to report the bar employee Ji Chang Soo,

and the owner Min Goo Nam,

for obstruction of justice.

Moreover!

I report Lee Ho Sung of Osung Group,

Professor Kang In Gyu of Hankook University,

and Choi Min Gook of Choi Hospital...

for crimes including drug possession and use,

and obstruction of justice.

The person reporting them...

is Judge Han Soo Ho.

Answer me.

Prosecution!

Answer me.

The report of their crimes...

has been received.

Court dismissed.

We'll go ahead.

You have the Criminal Procedure Code memorized.

You meant we should get them at least like this, right?

The judge is speaking.

How dare a trainee just nod her head?

I...

I know I'm being rude,

but there's something I want to do to you.

- Go ahead. - You'll say I'm rude.

Like that ever scared you.

I know I shouldn't do this, but...

You were super cool.

Do it right.

Left foot? Or right foot?

- Either. - Let's go!
