Original subtitles

(Episode 13)

How much further do we have to go?

We have a long way to go.

Mr. Oh. They're almost down.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Thank you for guiding us down safely.

The result of today's demonstration...

will be considered in rendering my decision.

As for you. You did great.

1, 2.

Look at you.

This is evidence. Smile a little.

I can't use this as evidence.

Let's take it again. Okay.

1, 2, 3.

Let's go!

Okay.

How much is it to rent out the entire park?

Including fireworks and everything.

So Eun. You must've been scared.

But you did great.

Thanks.

You did great, but don't do it again.

You scared me.

I...

know for sure, though.

That the kindness they showed here...

is not discrimination.

I can write the decision confidently now.

Although of course, Judge Han writes the official decision.

See? I told you. You're not cut out to be a judge.

Take a hot shower.

Your body will ache later.

Okay. Drive carefully.

Okay.

Because my eyes were covered, the wind sounded even louder.

The ground felt shaky, too.

And you know that creaking sound?

It sounded like a rusty building was about to collapse.

I wasn't scared of falling off it.

Gosh, I thought the roller coaster might really crumble down.

That thought made me feel even more scared.

You know how in the movies,

you hear these strange noises in the dark.

The feeling that something big is looming.

The guy from the amusement park kept saying something to me.

And you kept saying something to me too, Judge Han,

but as I was completely out of my mind, I heard nothing.

When you said that we should hold hands together,

I barely managed to get myself together.

But you know what? If I have to do this one more time,

I can never do it.

But...

I wondered how it would feel if I was blind.

How scary it would feel.

How angry I would be.

Don't try to understand...

everyone's situations. Okay?

How could you live like that?

Living your own life is hard enough.

Even if you think so, you came out to ride the roller coaster?

It wasn't all about the case.

Without my judgeship,

how would I be able to rent the whole place?

I was just trying to use my power while I had it.

Why do you always do that?

I know you don't mean it, but you pretend to be annoyed,

cold-hearted, and that money is everything.

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't talk back to you.

- Who talked back to me? - Mr. Jo told me.

- Who talked back to me? - Mr. Jo told me.

He said that other trainee judges don't talk back to their judges,

but I talk back to you too many times.

I'm not sure about that.

Well, you're my first trainee judge.

I heard that you had several trainee judges before me.

I meant that I've never had a trainee judge like you.

What kind of a trainee judge am I?

You're pretty.

Why did you want to become a judge or a prosecutor?

Actually, I wanted to become a killer.

But to become a killer, I had to be good at fighting...

and handling chemicals which can be lethal.

Where would I learn that?

That's why I just ended up studying.

It was the easiest since I'd been studying.

I hate hearing that the most in this world.

"Studying was the easiest."

How could studying be the easiest?

So Eun, I didn't peg you to talk nonsense.

There were times that I was ranked first in my school,

but I had never been ranked first in the whole country like you.

Was studying that easy?

How could you be ranked first in this world country?

You were at the top of your class when you graduated the institute.

Can you tell me your secret tips on how to study?

Judge Han?

If we have time later,

I will teach you how to become a killer instead of how to study.

I see, okay.

I'm not kidding.

- Okay. - All right. Hear me out.

Let's say that you have to get rid of this guy.

Stare right at him.

Get up first.

Don't be nervous.

Then he'd look at you and ask who you are.

Right.

At that moment, hit him in his throat.

- Isn't it easy? - No.

It's easy.

But look. Say that he blocked your attack.

Here's what you do then.

Hit me.

Pardon? Hit you?

That's all right. There's a way you can block it.

But still. You're my judge...

Hit me.

Are you all right, Judge Han?

I'm sorry.

I didn't know you could move that fast.

I'm sorry.

You attacked me even before I was ready.

I'm sorry.

In my opinion, you're more cut out to be a killer than a judge.

Thank you.

Gosh, when you hit me, I was going to block and strike back.

We're here.

I learned a lot in many ways today.

Especially, this.

I'm going to go.

Let's do our best tomorrow too.

I'm sorry...

for taking you to a dangerous place.

Thank you...

for holding me safely.

I learned a lot today.

Thank you.

(Judge Han Soo Ho)

Good job.

Good night.

(Song So Eun)

Have a good night.

I'll work harder and do a better job.

(Judge Han Soo Ho)

I'm sorry for making you work a lot.

I will always remember today.

(New Message, Judge Han Soo Ho)

(Judge Han Soo Ho)

Remember what you said when you first proposed to me?

You said you would clean up your act with the organization.

I trusted you.

Even if you went to prison several times,

I trusted you until the end...

because you made a promise to me.

Why bring that up? Anyway, I'm back now...

although it did take me a few years to come back to you.

You beat up people every day and dug up dirt on people.

You got a hold of and threatened the creditors.

Thinking about it makes me sick.

I also tried...

not to visit you.

But I kept thinking about you. What could I have done?

But you know what?

I kept on writing only your name the whole day.

I did.

I forgot about your name.

Starting tomorrow, don't give out the flyers.

No one is out because it's so hot anyway.

Come inside, and work.

There's a room next to the kitchen.

You can sleep there.

Don't get the wrong idea.

I was going to hire a part-timer anyway.

But if you get kicked out before your month is up, I won't pay you.

Always be polite to our customers.

Try to be nice even if some people act like jerks.

I don't expect much from you though.

I knew it'd happen, so I prepared this.

Prepare what?

Why are you taking off...

(Yooksoodang)

(Courthouse)

Judge Han?

Did you read the letter from...

the amusement park defendant's daughter?

She said to punish her mom.

Imagine how bad it was, that she would say that.

I know how she feels.

I don't think she meant, "Punish my mom."

Of course, a letter won't affect the decision,

but it may be good to read it when determining the sentence...

I'm not defying you.

Sit.

- Pardon? - Sit down and talk.

No, sir. How could I sit in front of you?

Sit.

Yes, sir.

How nice. We can see eye-to-eye now.

Where were we?

So...

I'm too uncomfortable to speak like this.

I'm uncomfortable if you're standing, though.

This is my office, so I'll do what makes me comfortable.

Go on.

Well, so... So...

I don't know what decision would make sure the defendant...

doesn't commit the same crime again.

Then just... Slap her with a huge fine,

and make her come to her senses.

You may not know because you were adored all your life,

but a mom like that will create a real delinquent.

But you were raised with a lot of love as well.

Being hurt by your mom once...

hurts more than being hurt 100 times by someone else.

I'll read the letter. Go back to work.

Yes, sir.

I...

(Cheongbit School for the Blind)

Cho Won!

You had me worried.

Why did you leave by yourself without telling me?

I told you. I won't go anywhere with you again.

Okay. I won't do it again.

Don't bother. Just live that way.

Fight and cause scenes all the time!

I got it.

Don't come after me.

Cho Won. Walk a little slower, okay?

Don't stop me.

Every time you do this, I feel like I really am handicapped.

Do you know that?

- Watch it! - Sorry!

Hey, you! Watch where you're going!

Where are you going? Get back here!

Why that little...

I said to stop it!

Stop it. Stop it!

Cho Won.

[VIU Ver] SBS E13 Dear Judge "Use Your Power" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

(My mom doesn't make much money, and my dad doesn't send much.)

Hi, there.

It's like I'm your subordinate.

I come to you to ask how you're doing.

- You, wait outside. - Yes, sir.

The administration just called me.

They want me to be on the disciplinary committee.

You got a call from high above. Congratulations.

Have you lost your mind?

You.

They're scheduling your disciplinary hearing.

I was selected to punish you.

You can just not punish me.

I'm not the only one in the committee!

Plus, I'm just an alternate.

I can't help you even if I want to.

Why did you have to do that interview?

I need to be a judge just a little while longer.

Okay, okay. Let's go out.

Let's call in every favor you and I can, and think of a plan...

over lunch.

Thank you.

Okay, okay.

(Restricted Number)

Just a minute.

Hello?

How have you been, Judge Han?

There you go again. Just get to the point.

I need to speak with you urgently.

Are you free for lunch?

Of course, I am.

Where are you going? Hey!

Yes. Make a left at the intersection.

Get back here!

What? Where? Sure.

I heard about the trial.

You issued a search and seizure warrant on Park Hae Na's phone.

You called an extra witness for the Ji Chang Soo case.

We are very grateful for many things.

They're closed trials. How did you find out?

We may not have as many as Osung does,

but we also have family at the courthouse.

Please just make Lee Ho Sung stand trial.

The media will figure out what to do with him.

That's right.

The media is the most powerful judge when you think about it.

We're almost at the finish line.

We're relying on you to help us out until the very end.

Then... About the million dollars that you promised...

Can I get an advance?

It not, how about half up front?

As a sign of trust.

I mean, I need to see your appreciation to encourage myself.

Your Honor.

Lee Ho Sung is being released today.

Didn't you know?

The appeal board approved his request for bail.

They started their counterattack.

We need to increase our speed.

Your girlfriend's birthday is coming up, isn't it?

Girlfriend?

An announcer has her reputation. Buy her a nice purse.

We left a small gift in your car armrest.

How thoughtful. He is one thoughtful man.

Darn it. They're pros at entrapping people.

Whatever.

The scent of money.

It smells disgusting.

- He's here! - There he is!

Mr. Lee Ho Sung. Just a minute.

How is your health?

How do you feel?

Do you believe the judgment was unfair?

- Please save a few words. - Do you plan...

to return to work?

I apologize to the great citizens for causing...

this unrest.

My faults aside,

I will give more of myself to help develop...

the nation's economy.

- Excuse us. - Wait!

Please say one more thing.

- Please elaborate! - Step aside.

Those reporter punks.

Don't they know who pays their salaries?

How dare they come at me?

Anyway, can you do as well as your father?

You lack in both experience and years on the job.

My father tried to work with a judge for you.

I am trying to get rid of the judge...

who did this to you.

Whom do you need more?

You, bro.

My bro, Sang Chul.

I became your fan after this.

I wish I could pull my father down and replace him, too.

But the old man can't be removed very easily.

Hey, you punk.

You punk. Have you lost your mind after having a few days off?

Fold the side mirrors.

How dare you look me in the eyes, you ungrateful jerk?

- Face forward. - I'm sorry.

- Face forward. - I'm sorry.

- Have you forgotten? - I'm sorry.

I told you to face forward, you piece of trash.

- I'm sorry. - Do your job right!

Hey!

The number of golfers in Korea has gone over five million.

It means that 1 out of 5 people in Korea plays golf.

The golf clubs give out golf balls as presents.

Let's find out if this could be a violation.

- According to a tip we received... - Yes, I'm watching the news now.

Half of the executives at the TV station are in my golf club.

Of course, I know.

My goodness, no. That's not it.

I must show up voluntarily tomorrow.

It's been on the news. If I don't take care of it,

it will be my people who will suffer.

Okay.

These individuals...

I don't know who it is,

but there must be one heck of a jealous guy.

He can't wait to take me out.

This will go away after a few days.

Is it necessary for you to go there voluntarily?

It's more embarrassing to go into hiding on the suspicion...

of accepting a 105 dollar-bribe.

I must go in and come out with a smile on.

This won't even hold up in court.

To me, this isn't a problem, but a chance.

I'll be out for a few days.

Take care of the Park Hae Na and Ji Chang Soo cases.

Don't do anything.

Just maintain the status quo.

Yes, I understand, Father.

I heard you asked for me.

- Are you Mr. Min Goo Nam? - Yes, I am.

Sit.

What brings you here?

I said to sit.

If you're here to pick a fight, you've come to a wrong place.

I used the GPS to get here. There's no way I came to a wrong place.

Who are you?

You know judo?

You do know judo.

I surrender. I surrender!

- Sit down. - Are you a thug?

Lee Ho Sung sent me here.

You should've been nice from the get-go.

Do you have a message for me?

Must you ask?

I did everything I was asked to do.

I made sure my guys wouldn't talk about what happened.

There isn't a problem from our side.

What kind of a problem was there for you to say there was no problem?

Are you a cop?

No, someone in a higher post.

- A prosecutor? - No.

The one who's sitting on the highest bench.

Are you from the Blue House?

My goodness, are you trying to get me in trouble?

Why would they come here?

Hold on a second.

(Han Soo Ho, Supreme Court of Korea)

I'm the one who sentenced Lee Ho Sung to seven years in prison.

I'm sorry. Please forgive my actions.

What brings you here, Judge Han?

My gosh, you were pretty good at fighting.

Ji Chang Soo wouldn't be able to beat you up.

Well...

He had always been obedient.

I never thought that he'd attack me all of a sudden.

But I attacked you all of a sudden too.

Well, I didn't know my subordinate would attack me.

That's possible.

What happened with Lee Ho Sung?

Nothing happened.

Come on, what's up with everyone?

Are you scared of him that much?

He and I have no business together.

You haven't been informed that you've been subpoenaed, right?

I have to be in court?

I called you in.

I really don't have anything to say.

Come to court even if you don't.

You know the guy who's been on your back?

I'll get rid of him.

(Prosecution)

My gosh, I don't know who has it out for me.

I should stop playing golf after this incident.

It's just hitting a ball with a stick.

I don't know why everyone looks at you...

differently when the topic comes up.

Exactly.

You have the receipt for purchasing the golf balls, right?

Yes, of course. I have it.

What about the receipt for the gift card?

What... What do you mean by gift card?

We received a tip that you bought a gift card...

with the corporate card and lost it in the golf bet.

We learned that per game, it costs over 10,000 dollars.

Please go ahead and drink it.

Take your time. After you finish, we'll continue in the box.

Not to mar your reputation,

I will try my best to keep this from leaking.

"1,500 dollars for the assault".

"1,500 dollars for obstruction of business."

In total, the fine comes out to 3,000 dollars.

This won't do.

I considered the fact that...

she settled with the victim and the unusual situation of the case.

Ms. Ko Hyang Ja has been committing the same type of crimes.

And she'll continue to do so.

She might be imprisoned next time.

A fine of 3,000 dollars won't change her.

I'm not saying that you wrote up a wrong decision.

I...

kept feeling that I was missing something.

I didn't know what it was,

but I know what it is.

Thank you.

I'll be back.

- Where are you going? - Right.

- I'll be back. - What's gotten into her?

I was going to tell her to raise the fine.

(Episode 14 will air shortly.)

"Pessimists..."

"have never discovered the secret of the stars,"

"set sail to the land that didn't exist on the map,"

"or opened up a new paradise for our souls."

Who are you?

Are you Cho Won?

Yes, who are you?

By any chance, do you like burgers?

If you're a trainee judge, you're not a real judge?

No, I'm still a student.

But you must have some power if you work with the judge.

Please make her pay a small fine.

My dad sends me some money for child support, and she works too.

But we don't have much money.

Cho Won.

Didn't you send a letter, asking us to punish her?

Do you hate your mom that much?

My mom...

is always mad at me.

That's not how it looked to me.

She's mad at me,

but she can't show it because she feels sorry for me.

She takes it out on other people instead.

And then, she says she fought because of me.

It's annoying.

I see.

It's because I shouldn't have been born.

I can't say anything.

May I talk about myself?

My mom is very far away...

in Singapore.

Did she go by herself?

Why didn't you go with her?

A long time ago, my sister...

was in an accident.

So, she was badly hurt.

I thought...

our mom and dad would fight the person who caused the accident.

They didn't?

No. My sister was the one who was hurt,

but they blamed her.

When people found out about her illness,

they were too embarrassed to live here and left the country.

And they really went.

That's terrible.

I felt the same way,

but I'm okay now.

Why?

I'm sure my mom was hurt too,

but I must have hated that.

I thought...

my mom was someone who couldn't be hurt.

So, I got very angry at her.

I may have kicked her out.

I don't understand...

what you mean.

At times, now and then, I regret it.

I wonder...

if I could've done something else, rather than get upset.

Are you saying it's all my fault?

No, I'm not.

Then what?

You're saying this all happened because I got mad at my mom.

That's not what I meant.

Well, that's what I hear.

Just do well at the trial tomorrow.

Judge Han. It's time for your trials.

Defendant, Ko Hyang Ja.

The defendant shall pay a fine of 300 dollars.

On June 21, 2018,

the defendant, Ko Hyang Ja...

Why did you do it?

It wasn't just once or twice. Why do you keep doing that?

(Defense Counsel, Defendant)

I'm sorry.

How many times is this already?

Aren't you ashamed to face your daughter?

I'm sorry.

Fighting against discrimination and unfair treatment is good,

but you must fight justly for it to be considered justice.

I'm sorry.

What did the poor worker do wrong?

I tried the roller coaster emergency evacuation,

and it's extremely scary!

So much, that...

they should increase training for both...

handicapped people and non-handicapped people!

I'm very sorry.

I won't do it again.

Please, I'm begging you!

Create memories with your daughter!

Don't create priors!

Your Honor.

Don't yell at my mom.

Your mom?

- Are you Cho Won? - Yes.

The one who sent the letter?

Yes.

- You said to punish her. - Don't do it.

- You asked me to punish her. - You don't have to.

Cho Won, don't do that.

Why are you flip-flopping?

Just! Don't yell at her!

She's my mom.

Fine, I won't. I'm done!

On June 21, 2018,

the defendant, Ko Hyang Ja...

assaulted Lee Young Pil, a worker at the amusement park.

He required three weeks to recover,

and Ko Hyang Ja did not show remorse.

Cho Won.

Don't yell at the judge again. They'll arrest you.

We can just not come here again.

Okay.

You always say that, but you do it again.

I mean it. I promise.

Like you never promised before?

Mom. You don't think I should never have been born, do you?

Of course, not.

I never once thought that.

You know I think that every day, right?

I do. But Cho Won...

I thought about it again yesterday, and I think...

it's a good thing I was born.

I got to meet you.

I won't think I should never have been born again.

So, you should stop fighting for me now.

Okay.

You have such a great daughter.

Why would you fight with other people?

Just ignore them.

Okay. I will.

Stop that. You'll mess up my hair.

Stop it.

That runt. She's betraying people already at her age.

I scolded her because she asked me to,

and she yells at me?

Still, it was good to see.

I don't think she'll end up in court again.

People don't change that easily.

You said Ko Hyang Ja wouldn't change because of the fine, remember?

That's what I realized...

that it may not be the law that changes the mom.

That's what I meant?

Yes.

That's why I met with her daughter.

I wanted to talk to her about my mom, but I couldn't.

She didn't want to hear it.

Obviously, not.

Her mom hurt her so much.

The strange thing is,

whenever you talk about your mom, you start to miss her,

although you were fine just minutes before.

Not everyone's like that.

Sorry? You're right.

Plenty of people cry out, "Mom," and fake being emotional.

- I can't stand that. - Me too. Like moms are so great.

Both of us are twisted.

Did you have a fight with your mom?

I can't even have a fight with my mom now.

She's too far away.

I'll get back to work.

And this chair is so comfortable.

Thank you.

Now, does this all belong to you?

Not yet. It's still my father's.

Right, how is it going with my father?

He's a veteran.

He's eating well...

and dodging us when we present the evidence.

I'm getting pressured by a lot of people.

You know that his connections in this circle are strong.

They're all about to retire now.

Sit down.

The ledgers our firm kept internally...

and where he actually spent money at...

are all in here.

You think you can handle this?

Your father's reach seems pretty wide.

Are you saying you're scared?

You little runt.

You know that everyone in the judiciary circle knows my father.

Of course, I do.

But you're the only one I know.

My gosh, Sang Chul. You're straightforward.

That's why I like you.

[VIU Ver] SBS E10 Dear Judge "A Son’s Gift" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

Kang Ho, you didn't call ahead. Why are you here?

Fix me a meal.

You caused trouble again, didn't you?

I didn't cause any trouble.

I was just in the neighborhood.

Wait. You're all suited up.

You're not scamming people, right?

Don't you have meat?

How could you ask for meat when you only cause trouble?

You should've called ahead, so I could've gone grocery shopping.

You should regularly have meat. Do you not have enough money?

Should I cook you one more egg?

Forget it. You'll brag about it forever.

Did something happen to Soo Ho?

He used to call me every week.

He hasn't called.

Try calling him then.

I'm worried that he might be busy.

Why do you walk on eggshells around him? Did you do something wrong?

Yes, I did.

I heard it's better for judges to have good family connections.

I can't help him at all.

Soo Ho's life is good. He has a great house too.

If you want to help anyone, help me.

Fine. How can I help you?

How much should I help?

How much must I give you to help you come to senses?

Tell me. I'll give it to you even if I have to sell myself.

Why are you doing this over dinner?

Where are you going?

I'm going to cook you one more egg.

Forget it. I said to forget it.

Or make a lot.

- You're sleeping over, right? - I'm busy. I have to go.

Sleep over tonight.

Why are there two? Did you get a boyfriend?

One of them is for you.

I'm going to sleep in my room. It's uncomfortable here.

Get rid of your tattoo. I hate it.

Nothing about me seems good to you.

Get rid of it. I don't like it.

- You don't like anything about me. - You little runt.

You're sleeping on that side.

When you and your brother were young,

I always took you to school.

Walking while holding hands with my two sons...

felt really good.

Lying is considered a sin.

I still remember that.

You gave Soo Ho a piggyback ride, but I had to walk.

That was when you were in sixth grade.

You hit Soo Ho.

I had to carry him for a month because his bone was fractured.

The herniated disk I got from then still bothers me.

Thinking about what I had to go through... Gosh.

Everything is my fault.

After that,

I'd never had a chance to walk while holding both of your hands.

Go to sleep.

Do you know what my wish is?

Becoming rich?

Later in the future,

Holding your hands and Soo Ho's hands...

and going on a picnic is my wish.

When I turn to this side, I'd see Soo Ho.

And when I turn to this side, I'd see you, Kang Ho.

That would make me so happy.

Even if we can't go on a picnic,

visiting me at least once a month...

would be nice.

My oldest son would be lying on one side.

And my youngest son would be lying on the other side.

Throughout the whole night,

I wish I could look this way and that way...

and not get a wink of sleep.

Kang Ho.

Don't you ever end up in prison again.

Okay?

I'm sleepy. Don't talk to me.

Face me, and go to sleep.

You're at home now.

Darn it.

I was about to fall asleep. You keep talking to me.

My goodness, you and your temper.

Go get any job you can.

Even if it's not much, try to earn money.

Get a girlfriend and get married too.

Okay?

Kang Ho.

I still have work left to do. I must get back.

What's this all about?

I asked you to spare me some time.

Why? Is today a special occasion?

It's the day of a proposal.

- Who's proposing? - I am.

To you.

Why are you doing this to me?

Don't do this.

Since college, you were the only one I wanted.

Even after graduation, you were still the only one.

I'm not doing this out of the blue.

You know that...

this is not what I want.

What should I do then?

What must I do to make you want me?

You are...

such a great friend to me.

That's why...

I can't have feelings beyond friendship.

My dad was the defense counsel...

of the assailant in your sister's case.

He lifted your legs in a V and raped you.

That's what you testified. Is that correct?

Did you actually resist?

He did well and got him a non-guilty verdict.

Let's not talk about that.

Ever since you found out that was my father,

you started to look at me differently.

I won't deny that.

But your father is your father, and you're you.

You can't forgive my father.

No.

I can't.

Same with me.

My father's being investigated by the Prosecutors' Office.

I know. The golf ball incident.

That's not all.

There are many hidden things.

Things only I know.

Don't tell me you...

I will never forgive my father, either.

Still, he's your father.

I told you.

You're the only person that I see as a human being.

If anything gets between us,

I'll get rid of it.

Sang Chul.

Sang Chul. You... You're not like that.

I was in the office earlier and this thought came to me.

If I wait, I won't be able to have anything.

Waiting longer...

doesn't mean I'll have you.

Thank you for everything.

You've been so good to me.

More than I deserve.

I couldn't...

thank you for every little thing not because...

I thought everything you did for me...

was a given, but because...

I felt bad.

Then why?

How much more must I do?

What must I do for you to come to me?

I feel like...

something just fell out from here.

I kept it in for so long,

that I feel like I'm leaving...

something comfortable.

I don't know...

what kind of a memory this day will be for you,

but for me,

it'll be one of the loneliest days of my entire life.

If you reject me now,

I'll never care for you again.

Goodbye.

Bye.
