Spend the night here.

All throughout my life,

I never had a goal.

To me, having a good day...

was the best.

But now, I have a goal.

It's going on a trip with you, So Eun.

And cooking you breakfast is another.

I want to set up the whole table, so you can eat...

when you wake up.

And...

cooking you dinner.

Waiting for you to come home after preparing dinner,

so you can eat when you come home.

And...

going for a walk after our dinner near our house.

The goals you have...

are pretty awesome.

They are too awesome,

so I can't achieve them now.

Why not?

I'm not your subordinate anymore.

When I'm confident about myself...

When that time comes,

I'll make sure I achieve my goals then.

It may take a while,

but could you wait for me?

Are you confessing your feelings to me?

Or are you ending things with me?

I have become to like you so much...

that I hate myself.

I don't understand what you mean by that.

I will tell you everything tomorrow.

Everything.

Mom wants you to visit her this weekend.

Have a nice life.

I put the money for my month-long stay.

(To Han Soo Ho)

(50 dollars)

(Courthouse)

The defendant, Lee Soon Chul, did cause physical harm to the victim.

The defendant, Lee Soon Chul, did cause physical harm to the victim.

Moreover, the defendant also caused monetary damage as well.

Judge Han...

will be working only until the end of the week.

He'll be on leave after today.

It's like the final leave you get in the army. You get it, right?

- Yes. - No.

Look up "final leave in the army".

Even if the judge is resigning, nothing will change for us.

Don't cry or make a fuss for no good reason.

Let's stay calm, okay?

Okay.

Are you crying?

No, but why isn't the judge here?

He went to the prosecution to get investigated.

Why?

He made a report in court.

They must investigate since he made the report.

You should've investigated in the first place. Seriously.

You personally made a report, Your Honor.

And it was on the news as well.

I must do my due diligence to save face.

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

Can't you tell from how we requested...

they be held in detention?

Nice. You're so diligent.

This ends the questioning of the person bringing the charge.

Do it right. I'll be watching.

- I have a personal comment to make. - We're not close enough for that.

Listen anyway!

You're not a judge anymore.

If you keep being rude to someone more senior than you,

you'll never make a living. Especially since...

I'm a prosecutor.

You're scaring me.

Don't open a law office in my district.

I will trample on...

every one of your cases.

I'll make you...

avoid even my shadow, regardless of where I go.

You know how easy it is for us...

to destroy one little lawyer, right?

- Is it? - You'll see...

how it feels to go...

from being called "Your Honor" to being nothing but a lawyer.

I should go and rip up my letter of resignation.

It hasn't been processed yet.

I should remain as a judge for the rest of my life.

Should I let you see...

whether frost sets in the courthouse...

when a judge has a grudge?

Go ahead.

Don't try so hard to threaten just anyone.

Your face itself is a threat. It's scarier than a knife.

Let's not see each other again.

Let's see each other often.

Practice smiling.

You look like you'd be cute if you smiled.

Later.

Why that...

There's no one in the legal world that didn't golf with my father...

or eat tuna with him.

There are too many people involved in the golf ball incident...

to investigate it.

What is it?

My father's tax evasion.

When he bought land and buildings,

he evaded paying millions of dollars in taxes.

And legal fees he received in cash...

weren't reported on his income tax. That adds up to a million.

Why are you doing this?

My father is defending Lee Ho Sung.

Wouldn't it be better to send them off together?

Why don't you do it yourself? Why are you going through us?

How could a son personally attack his own father?

That's depraved.

I'll release it when the time is right to maximize impact.

Let's have dinner or something with the chairman.

Sure, let's.

(Decision)

"It is true that Lee Soon Chul assaulted the victim,"

"which resulted in injuries."

"Therefore, the destruction of property is also true."

"Although the victim was inebriated,"

"his life was not endangered..."

"to warrant such force..."

"and..."

Is it very different from what you wrote?

I didn't write a decision.

Pardon? But you need to go to the trial now.

What will you do?

I'll just read this.

You'll read what a trainee wrote?

This is the best decision.

Let's go.

This is really the last day, right?

My last act as a judge.

All rise.

Okay.

Please be seated.

Here is the judgment of the court.

Case number 2018G237.

Defendant Lee Soon Chul.

(Clerk's Table)

"It is true that Lee Soon Chul assaulted the victim,"

"which resulted in injuries."

"The resulting destruction of property is also true."

"Although the victim was inebriated,"

"his life was not endangered to warrant such force..."

"to restrain an inebriated person,"

"and such force was excessive."

"However, all of this was within the procedures..."

"required of paramedics in the interest..."

"of protecting the lives and safety of the people."

"There is no doubt that the defendant was sincere..."

"in trying to do his best."

"The defendant faced countless similar situations..."

"and acknowledged that his actions may have..."

"legal ramifications. Nonetheless, he prepared for an emergency,"

"which was an act of bravery arising from his conviction..."

"to save the person's life."

"The law cannot punish justified bravery."

"Such a person should be appreciated..."

"and thanked."

"Thus, the defendant Lee Soon Chul..."

"is found not guilty."

It's over.

You may go.

All rise.

Court...

dismissed.

I'll be outside.

Who told you to go out?

Both of you, come here.

You have less than 10 days left, correct?

Yes, sir.

Come to my chambers starting tomorrow.

And study the precedents before you go back.

Why are you staring? He asked me for this favor.

Even if it's less than 10 days, you still need an instructing judge.

Yes, I understand.

Fill out her evaluation form since she worked under you.

- I already did. - Is that so?

(Evaluation Form)

(Grade: S)

What? You gave her perfect scores on every category?

Is she that good?

You can't find someone like her.

You'll have the highest score in your class.

Let's have a drink after your leave. Don't try to weasel your way out.

Okay.

Come here, you punk. Goodness.

You read the decision without changing a single word.

It felt like I was giving the decision.

Thank you for taking my opinion into consideration.

- I'll be on my way now. - Hold on.

- Try this on. - Pardon?

No, no. How could I?

- It's fine. Put this on. - How could I put that on?

The robe is as sacred as the court.

Not everyone can wear it.

It's just a piece of clothing. A black robe.

Wearing it won't make you a judge.

Not wearing it won't stop you from becoming a judge.

But still. I can't.

I really can't. I won't put that on.

I really wanted to see you in the robe.

That's all you need me to do, right?

No.

- Let me take a photo. - No way. Have you gone insane?

I apologize for calling you insane.

But you can't take a photo.

Can't you give me a photo I can cherish for the rest of my life?

(My Oldest Son)

- It's me. - Are you not busy now?

Did you eat?

I can't go down there this weekend.

Don't wait for me.

Come down here with your brother. I have something to tell you.

- I can't go this weekend. - Just come when I tell you to.

I resigned.

I handed in my resignation letter.

What... Why...

Why... Why would you quit...

Mom.

How could you not have discussed it with me first?

Don't be like that.

I'm still your son even if I'm not a judge.

I'll tell you everything after I get things in order.

(Choi Min Gook)

(Assault, fraud, violation of housing code)

(Rape and assault)

(Choi Min Gook)

My sister was sexually assaulted.

I thought that jerk would be punished for sure.

But as the trial progressed, it got weirder and weirder.

My sister became a shameless woman who tried to get settlement money...

after failing to flirt with a med student.

(When only two of them went into the cottage, she could have...)

(Although she was able to resist, she didn't physically resist.)

That jerk had six attorneys.

His family must have been loaded.

Right. He was the son of that famous Director Choi Byung Heon.

Choi Min Gook.

(The defendant is sentenced to pay a 1,500 dollar fine.)

My goodness, hello. This is Angry Han Kang Ho.

Spare me some of your time.

Of course, I know. I know that you're so righteous...

you don't meet people for free.

Let me come over.

Han Soo Ho, that jerk. He made a mess even on his last day.

The investigation of the report was today, correct?

An active judge came...

all the way to my office and went through the investigation.

He didn't have to follow up on it, but he did.

He's good at putting on a show.

Since he made the report, he'll go through the investigation too?

Reporting crimes...

to the prosecutor in court doesn't happen every day.

Even the general prosecutor got involved in this.

He told me that we should play the protector of justice this time.

Everything is going smoothly starting with getting the warrant.

The press will be on our side too.

Why don't you become a star prosecutor with this case?

A star prosecutor?

That gives me headaches.

I'll get more headaches if I stand out of my organization.

That would be the case if you have a minor role,

but when you become a top star, you'll be untouchable.

"Untouchable"?

Want to bet?

Whether you become a star prosecutor or not.

You should become a star lawyer.

Your life ought to shine after you surpass your father.

The documents regarding my father's tax evasion will be handed over.

Please take care of the case.

He doesn't even know the world is changing...

and only holds onto Osung.

What about Han Soo Ho? Is he going to somewhere nice?

I'm not sure yet.

I looked into it, but he's not joining law firms or conglomerates.

I knew it.

Who would want to accept a judge that causes problems?

He'll probably have to make a living by working as a mere attorney.

Watch me.

I'm going to crush that jerk into little pieces.

(Han Soo Ho)

(Han Soo Ho)

(Judge's Chambers)

We prepared this for you.

We wanted you to fulfill a wish wherever you're going next.

Thank you.

Although I worked here for more than a year,

it's only now that I've started talking to you.

- Thank you, Your Honor. - Really?

When we were gathering signatures to switch to permanent positions,

you didn't sign it. I was upset and hated you for it.

I didn't know you were such a nice guy. I'm sorry.

- I didn't? - The candle is going to burn down.

I told you not to make a fuss. Why are you so chatty?

Blow it out, Your Honor. Enjoy your days off.

Tell me if the paperwork for...

the administration office is a hassle.

From the day you came to this office after you were appointed...

to the Individual Criminal Department...

Darn it.

Come on.

Make a wish.

(Individual Criminal Department 40)

Where will you go?

I'm going to look for a job.

As a chef?

I'll come over later.

I'll bring a gift, and I'll cook for you.

Bye.
