(Episode 25)

Is what you said in court true?

Have you been lying all this time?

Who is the person who guaranteed your future?

Please give us a statement!

Did you have those drug parties often?

Who made you lie under oath?

Are you admitting to using regularly?

Please clear a path. Coming through.

Why did you change your testimony?

Why are you doing this now?

I had forgotten that the people who guarantee my future...

aren't powerful people, but my fans who support me.

Once I realized that, I came to my senses.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry, that I have nothing more to say.

Is that fan a man?

- Yes. - What's your relationship?

I'm his fan as well.

I'm sorry.

I'll tell you everything once the investigation is over.

Is he a celebrity as well?

Is he a co-star?

- Is he a singer? - Please tell us.

Park Hae Na!

Bravo!

You're the best!

Stop it. It's not like I won a gold medal.

I feel like all the stress pent-up was washed away.

My friends kept complaining...

that you were dragging out the trial,

and picked on you,

asking if you lost your head because she was a celebrity,

and said all sorts of garbage.

You know how this field is. Depending on whom you serve,

it inflates and deflates your ego.

Hello, sir.

Was this the one last trial you insisted on finishing?

Yes.

Fine. You made the right choice.

It was nothing.

Yes, it was. Even still, it couldn't have been easy to do that.

I always follow the law and my conscience, to pursue justice...

That's enough, kid.

Why are you bringing up justice just because you resigned?

"Resigned"?

You could've just handed it to me in person.

You came in on Sunday and placed it nicely on my desk.

I know I kept telling you to resign,

but it feels weird, now that you did.

I gave you your robe,

but I felt like I was kicking you out.

I submitted it for approval,

so it should be processed within two weeks.

I... Resigned...

I'll stick my head on the line...

to finish up the disciplinary hearing for you.

We don't want to taint the image of a family member who's leaving.

I know. I know how you feel.

It isn't easy to quit being a judge. Everyone regrets it to an extent.

Don't take on any new cases...

and finish out the ones you're giving your decisions on.

You should take a trip somewhere...

and open a law office when you get back.

I might not be a big help to you, but I'll do everything I can.

(Judge Han Soo Ho)

So Eun, can we talk?

Okay.

Yes?

Should we take off instead of working here?

Pardon?

- To where? - To have lunch.

- To where? - To have lunch.

It's only 11am.

You'd never skipped classes, right?

- Right. - I always skipped classes.

Let's go.

Let's go!

What is this?

I was going to buy you a fancy lunch at a fancy place.

I always wanted to do something like this.

I could get some sunlight, do some people-watching,

and talk just like I had all the time in the world.

We could do this any other day.

We could do this every lunch.

Not like that. I really wanted to take my time to relax.

I never had the chance to do that.

My sister was a junior in college when that happened to her.

I was a freshman.

After my sister had disappeared,

I changed my major and got into the law school.

I wanted to make him stand trial again.

I wanted my sister to come out of her hiding.

That's why I never had time for myself.

I had to study whenever I had time.

Being a killer would've been much easier.

Probably.

I couldn't see beyond my day-to-day life.

By the way, today is a bit different...

- thanks to you. - Wait a bit more.

Everything will happen just as you wished.

You'll find your sister and that scum will be punished.

When you're free of pain,

this will break off too.

That will happen, right?

Absolutely.

However,

be a judge even if it takes some time. Okay?

Judges are the most powerful in the legal circle.

I want to do that too.

When I do,

you'll be transferred to the Criminal Judicial Panel Department.

And I'll try my best to be your associate judge on the panel.

I'm pretty sure that you'll give me all of your work.

And I'll end up working late every day.

And you'll scold me that I'm working too hard...

and that I shouldn't work that hard given how much I get paid.

You'll drag me out, and we'll end up drinking all night long.

And my sister will call me to ask when I'll be home.

Why and for what...

can you look so pretty? What will you do next?

If you say such a thing out of nowhere just like that...

Can you say that one more time?

- I don't want to. - Why not?

You should've listened carefully when I said it the first time.

Let's go.

Okay. We should go back to work.

No, we'll go have fun.

What about work?

Let's have fun for the one last time.

There you go!

I killed him.

My goodness.

I'm locked in. What am I going to do?

What is it?

- So Eun. You're okay. - Yes?

Get up.

I'll take these off.

You're fine.

(Courthouse)

- Ms. Song. - Yes?

I didn't get scolded too much. The judge is feeling okay.

I'm always on your side, Mr. Jo.

And the thing you gave me the other day... Let me return it.

Here.

- There's hair. - What?

Same here.

Ms. Park, a former idol singer who was standing trial...

regarding the use of illegal drugs and possession,

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

and a politician's heir who will run for office in her last trial.

And this discovery has shocked the public.

She exposed the drug party of the upper class.

The judge reported of those individuals mentioned...

during the trial which is unheard of.

Yes, Director.

Okay.

What is it?

Open it.

(Gift Certificate, 100 dollars)

These are gift certificates.

They are from the chief director. Send him a text to thank him.

Is this my severance pay?

- Resume your position. - What are you doing this to me?

We're getting complaints because of your absence.

"Did you fire her because she criticized other media agencies?"

"I'll file a petition at the Blue House."

They're threatening to upload a post calling out the president.

The president keeps getting calls all day long.

Who are all these people online? How can they be so diligent?

Is that the reason?

Don't think for a second you have your job back...

because of the complaints we got online.

We're using you again because you were trending online.

I see.

Did you understand what I just said?

Now, the viewers want to see you, not the news.

We're putting you back in because you'll make us money.

That's the nature of the business.

You want me to run a good business, right?

If you can't, get ready to take off your badge.

Hey, that wasn't sexual harassment.

When I said to take off your badge,

I meant it figuratively. You're part of our agency, so...

Must I continue explaining this to you?

I'll go make us money.

Dear Korea's biggest law firm, Odaeyang,

the best attorney, Oh Sang Chul who's sitting over there,

and members of his dear team.

I really liked you.

What happened?

What on earth is this?

Did I do something that upset you?

Did I not treat you enough?

And you. Listen carefully.

I won't be investigated. No, I can't be.

I will use every ounce of power I have...

and make you work in the countryside...

and then strip you of your job.

Mr. Oh, you have nothing to say, right?

I think this went wrong because my son was incapable.

- Why don't we talk in private? - I don't need your help!

Don't you dare dream about working with Osung again.

That's a matter between your father and me,

Director Lee.

You're telling me that you and my dad are tight.

Do you think my dad will live forever?

But there's no guarantee that you'll succeed the chairmanship.

If you're rash in taking care of this matter,

wouldn't your brother, Lee Ho Jun, take the lead?

Darn it.

Choi Min Gook paid for the drugs with a bank check.

Say he was the one...

who committed the crime.

You have no right to be here.

Get out.

Darn it.

I'd like you to excuse us for a moment as well.

Why you...

You may end up having to retire after doing so well.

You should at least be a chief prosecutor...

to get support when you open a law office.

You punk. Why you...

How dare a lawyer mock a prosecutor?

- What is a prosecutor? - What?

What's a prosecutor?

You've lost your mind.

What is a prosecutor, Jung Soo?

It's power.

Even if prosecutors tiptoe around the government and cover up...

for the conglomerates,

the ones who strike against the government and conglomerates,

are the prosecutors.

Stand tall.

You're the master of this nation.

Are you comforting me or encouraging me?

Are you messing with me?

Even a large conglomerate is just a peddler to me.

Would I mess around after being slapped...

by some lowly peddlers?

On what are you basing your courage?

Dump Osung and side with Hanyoung.

Do you have a connection at Hanyoung?

I'll set up a meeting.

You must take on this case.

Decide whether to go mainstream or retire in the suburbs.

You want me to gamble.

- Is that it? - I'm holding a great hand.

We can't lose.

It isn't much.

My gosh. How tiny.

Things are kind of hard in your field, isn't it?

I'm still just a trainee.

You should make a little now, so that when you become a judge...

and make good money, you'll feel the joy.

Use this to buy yourself ice cream on your way home.

No, please take it.

You withdrew the charges in exchange for finding your sister.

So we're square.

Why do you keep trying to pay me?

Please consider it a small token of my appreciation.

Small tokens end up becoming huge idiots later on.

Threats work all the time in this world.

I'm trying to teach you, but...

Here.

Okay.

You know the promised deadline is drawing near, right?

If you don't keep your promise again,

I'll press charges again for fraud.

My gosh.

I already prepared the paperwork.

I just have to submit it.

Once you withdraw charges for a case,

you can't press charges again for the same case.

That's the law. Think about whom you're talking to.

You should know threats won't work on me!

You are searching for my sister, right?

You must have faith in order to gain eternal life.

Keep your promise.

If you find her, will you reopen the trial?

I'll request a retrial,

and fight to the end.

You've never stood trial, have you?

No, I haven't. Why?

That's life. Rather than punishing the guilty,

it's more important to prevent the innocent from being hurt.

My gosh. Come in. Table for two?

We came to escort you, Your Honor.

I've removed the dash cam. Would you like to check?

There's no need. We trust people.

We must have faith in order to gain eternal life.

I saw the trial and the news.

Rumors spread like wildfire, so the bid is pretty much ours.

I'd like to thank you with all my heart.

Sure.

I should give this to you after the guilty verdict,

but since you tarnished his image well...

with the drug party,

it's pretty much the same thing as a guilty verdict.

I'm happy we were able to establish such a great relationship...

with you.

Seriously.

I did all this garbage for this.

Do you know how hard it was for me the past month?

How could I possibly understand the deep consideration...

and reflection?

You can't possible.

Is this really one million dollars?

Yes. I'll load it into your car if you give me your keys.

No.

I want to enjoy it more.

A million dollars. All at once.

It's nice, being a judge.

It's money! It's a million dollars!

You're all dead!

I made a million dollars!

(To Judge Han Soo Ho)

(Honorable Judge)

Honorable Judge.

I have the utmost respect for you, who fights for justice in society.

I am Park Jae Hyung, Park Jae Ho's brother.

My brother is handicapped. He has a developmental disorder.

He is slow,

and can't make eye contact with people,

but he's a good son who listens to anything our mom says.

Mom. Your fridge... Your fridge is full.

Put them... Put them here?

Here?

Here? Put them here?

Here?

Like this?

Mom, are you sick?

You're always sick.

Did Woo Jung...

give you that food?

I need to die so that you two can live.

How's school?

My teacher is nice,

and I'm learning... I'm learning the skill...

They say I'm skilled.

Mom. I... I don't need money.

You go to the hospital.

You buy medicine.

Jae Ho.

Live happily with your brother...

and Woo Jung.

What about you?

Mom...

is too tired.

I want to sleep now.

If I can't answer you because I'm asleep,

don't wake me,

and go to school, okay?

I'm...

cold.

Tuck me in.

Mom's cold.

You're cold?

You should cover my face, too.

Since I'm cold,

make sure you press down.

Just like this?

Mom is cold. She's cold. Cold... She's cold.

Keep it there longer?

Until when?

Mom, are you not cold anymore?

Are you cold?

Mom?

Are you sleeping?

Mom, are you sleeping?

My name is Bang Woo Jung. I'm engaged to marry...

the defendant, Park Jae Ho.

My fiance is...

suspected of a severe crime, matricide.

Everything on this statement is true, correct?

What?

Why did you kill your mother?

It's because of the money.

Mom's hospital... Under my mom's blanket...

I did it because of the money.

Good job.

From now on, whenever someone asks you that question,

answer it just like that.

If you do, the judge will send you home.

Did you get it?

Yes.

The judge hates it the most when people change...

their statements. You know that, right?

If you do,

you'll never get to go home.

The motive of Park who is on trial for the suspicion of...

killing his own mother has come to light.

According to the prosecution,

Park killed his own mother after a heated dispute...

when his mother didn't give him money.

The amount is mere 200 dollars.

The defendant, Park Jae Ho, looked after his mother, Lee Yong Soon.

"I'm tired."

"I hope she dies quickly."

Just like this, he often displayed discomfort of her condition.

He provided his mother who couldn't walk spoiled food.

He tried to worsen her condition, but when it didn't work,

he ended up killing her.

The defendant isn't a shameless murderer.

All the facts the press are discussing aren't true.

Watch your language.

The public opinion has no place in my court.

The defendant is suffering from a developmental disorder.

He didn't intend to kill her.

Please allow me to submit the psychiatrist's opinion.

The defendant is learning a trade at a vocational school.

He's a third-degree certified technician.

The argument that he wasn't aware of...

his action due to his disorder...

can't be allowed by the prosecution.

Oh, no.

I heard enough arguments from both parties.

Are the statements on the copy of the indictment all true?

Is there a discrepancy?

What?

No.

Prosecution, make your request.

The prosecution requests...

the maximum penalty,

death sentence.

Dear Honorable Judge,

I desperately beg you to discover...

the truth in the lies.

Please show mercy to the defendant, Park Jae Ho,

the man I'm engaged to.

I sincerely ask for your kind heart.

From Bang Woo Jung.

Are you saying that you're going to use my trial...

to cover up the drug case for sons of a politician and a CEO?

Something is going on with this trial.

They're blowing this up to cover up for something.

How would a judge know that?

I'm not trying to influence your decision.

I just want you to expedite the trial,

so it doesn't lose its momentum.
