(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?

[VIU Ver] SBS E25 Dear Judge "There’s Always a Way" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

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.

(Episode 26 will air shortly.)

I've never touched so much money before in my life.

(Episode 26)

What should I do?

I'm going crazy. Where should I use this?

Use it freely.

May I spend this much money frivolously?

It isn't that much money when you think about the future.

Then I'll use it frivolously.

First, I'll buy new clothes and shoes.

I'll get a foreign car.

I'll travel abroad. Spend on entertainment!

No. I should buy land.

I'll get inside information on where they'll redevelop,

and buy land, and...

I used it all.

A million dollars isn't much.

It's chump change.

Did I do something to offend you?

No.

I like your mentality that money accomplishes all.

It's so honest.

They say it's despicable to be into money,

but I disagree.

Then why are you...

Just.

I don't like you people.

If you'd tell me what I did wrong, I'll clear up the misunderstanding.

You see, there's someone that I really like.

Do you like anyone?

Well, I'm married,

so I like my family the most.

Don't like anyone.

Don't like your wife.

Don't like your son or daughter. Don't like anyone.

Never.

Bad guys have no right to like anyone.

Your Honor.

What's going on?

It's been a while.

Park Jae Hyung?

Yes.

- Are you here to abduct me again? - Yes.

You have the wrong person. I'm...

His twin should be somewhere nearby.

He isn't here. I checked everywhere around here for hours.

Let's go.

Oh, man.

Gosh, this is my area of expertise.

How does it feel to await a decision after sitting on that bench?

Let's exchange our names at least.

That's who you are.

No matter how much I cried and screamed,

you still don't know who I am.

I'm Bang Woo Jung, Park Jae Ho's fiancee.

Nice to meet you, Ms. Bang.

I am Han Soo Ho's younger brother,

Han Kang Ho.

- What? - You may not know,

but we're twins, you know?

My brother is a judge. I'm just me.

I already know you're twins.

I followed you from the courthouse.

Darn it. Is everyone who comes out there a judge?

Darn it!

Are you that desperate to live?

My work is done here.

It's not me.

Apologize to Jae Ho.

Apologize to him,

and die.

My scumbag brother caused that.

Everyone in this world said that Jae Ho must be dead,

but you shouldn't have joined. You are a judge.

You're the law.

You shouldn't have joined them.

I'm Han Kang Ho. I'm not Han Soo Ho!

Hold on!

Hello.

Who is this?

I'm Judge Han Soo Ho from Individual Criminal Department...

of the Seoul Central District Court.

Let's meet.

Bring Ms. Bang Woo Jung as well.

You can pick the time and place.

I'll call you back. Wait for my call.

Why? Who is it?

Judge Han Soo Ho.

- What do you want to do? - I'll meet and bring him here...

- What do you want to do? - I'll meet and bring him here...

whether we kill one or both.

See?

I heard about your case.

Are you going to kill Soo Ho?

What will you do after you kill him?

What about me?

Fine, you can kill Soo Ho,

but I'm an innocent civilian. Right? I'm just...

Hey! If you do that, you'll end up...

The person you have reached is not available. You'll be connected...

(What are you...)

What are you doing?

Darn it!

Okay. You did it right this time.

That's Han Soo Ho. Ask him if it's him or not.

Untie me and let's talk.

Don't get the wrong idea. I didn't bring you here to talk.

Which one of you is Han Soo Ho? Tell us the truth.

I'm Han Soo Ho.

That's right. Judges don't lie.

If you want to check it further,

take off his shirt. Check his right arm.

Hey, hey.

Darn it.

Judges don't have tattoos.

Don't make this complicated.

Let's kill Han Soo Ho first, and we'll go from there.

Apologize to Jae Ho first.

You'll die after you apologize.

It is a fact that Park Jae Ho did kill his own mother.

Putting aside his disability and the motive,

it doesn't change the fact that he killed a person.

And I made a decision upon that act.

That's a lie.

The motive the press talked about wasn't the problem.

I followed the law and made my decision...

Do you know my brother?

Do you? What do you know?

How dare you represent the law? How?

Hey!

Let me go! I have nothing to do with this case.

How could you say that when your brother is about to die?

I wouldn't have turned out this way if I didn't have my brother.

Let me know if it's hard. I'll help you.

Shut your mouth...

before I kill you first.

Is that an apology?

Taking his poor upbringing...

and his developmental disorder into account,

I could have sentenced him to 10 years in prison, give or take.

However,

I wanted to end the trial quickly.

And it was settled to do so.

How dare you settle such a matter with others?

Even if it took 1 year or 10 years, you should've uncovered the truth.

You can't hold your trials like that.

It's my fault.

But it doesn't change the fact he did kill his mother.

Jae Ho...

did everything the people he loved told him.

He told me that his mother asked him to do so.

He didn't have a concept of life and death.

I checked the visitors' log.

Have you ever thought that he committed suicide...

because you told him to do so?

I handled my trial improperly, but you misspoke.

We are both accomplices.

If you really care about Park Jae Ho,

stand trial again.

I didn't do anything wrong.

I didn't do anything wrong.

This is...

- all your fault! - Stop, you've gone far enough!

You call yourself a judge?

I'm telling Mom everything that happened today.

She always says you're the best.

I can't wait to see her reaction.

It's okay.

They exaggerated Park Jae Ho's case...

in order to cover up...

influential people's children's drug use case.

Even knowing that,

the supposed judge sentenced him to death.

If you really want revenge, file for a retrial,

and make that jerk stand trial.

Make him admit on the stand what he did during the trial,

and make him repent.

If he won't repent...

Please forgive him anyway.

Our mom will live even if I die,

but our mom will die without him.

Our mom only cares about him.

We lost everything,

but you want everything?

I have nothing anyway.

I have no money or family.

Our mom...

removed me from the family registry when I was young.

Because I have five convictions,

she's ashamed of having me go to the house.

I know it can't alleviate your pain,

but even if...

you can't forgive my jerk brother, please don't kill him.

Please.

[VIU Ver] SBS E26 Dear Judge "The Trap is Set" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

Did you use me as bait?

If they took me,

you were going to appear and play the hero?

You made yourself the bait.

And you call yourself my big brother.

It's so you. It's so Han Soo Ho.

You're such a dirtbag.

I won't care even if you die,

so protect your own life.

(Min Jea Suk, Attorney at Law)

I know I don't deserve to be a judge.

I resigned...

a few days ago.

This lawyer has a great reputation.

He'll help you with the retrial.

I'll testify as a witness.

Come to me at any time.

If you want to kill me,

you may kill me.

My head.

- It's me. - You didn't die?

I'm going into work tomorrow to pack my things.

Stay away from the courthouse.

I have a trial tomorrow and a bunch of stuff to do.

Don't you show up.

You can't preside over a trial.

It's the last decision that our trainee wrote,

so I have to read it.

Neither you nor I come close to the judge our trainee is.

Bye.

Crazy fool.

You know each other by face and name, correct?

I'm sorry I'm fighting Hanyoung against my will.

I live in fear of Oh Dae Yang's power.

You sound so ancient.

Nowadays, people get to the point and chit chat afterward.

Just discuss how much you'll pay me for the introduction.

You have good prospects for the bid, don't you?

I'm relying on the government's wise decision.

If Osung is not selected, they will initiate...

an administration litigation for procedural problems.

There is nothing wrong with the process.

The plot was determined 14 days before the deadline,

but it was changed 13 days ago...

so that if Osung is eliminated, they can file a lawsuit.

You've set a trap.

Was that also Oh Dae Yang's masterpiece?

This is worth 11 billion dollars.

We won't hand it over to Hanyoung that easily.

What do you want?

Work with us.

Your father won't stand for it.

My father will go to jail along with Lee Ho Sung.

In the past, the elders were scary.

Now, the youth is scary.

- What are the conditions? - A long-term partnership.

Otherwise, we have no reason to dump Osung.

(So Eun)

The person you have...

Judge Han isn't picking up, is he?

- No. - What's gotten into him?

This isn't like him.

You don't think he's sick or...

got into an accident, do you?

Shouldn't you go to his apartment?

I would if we had a trial,

but I feel bad going over when it's nothing urgent.

If you give me his address, I'll go.

It's his personal information, so I can't...

Did he drink?

Yes?

My gosh, hello, hello.

- It's me. - What's up?

- What's the cart for? - I came to pick up files.

Please give me all of these.

It's everything minus the decision tomorrow.

What's this? Why are you taking our cases?

Judge Han resigned.

- He did? - What?

You didn't know?

Please get them for me,

and please have him sign that and submit it.

(Judge Han Soo Ho)

(So Eun)

The person you have reached is not available.

Are you sick?

You weren't in an accident, were you?

Please call me.

You're so lucky.

You'll be able to bum around for a while.

Okay, I'll go now. Have a nice day.

Would you give me a hand?

- Thank you. - I'll lift it.

1, 2, 3.

- Bye. - Sure.

Judge Han is so mean. He should've at least told us.

We knew he was on the fence about resigning.

I'm sure he had his reasons.

Did he resign and just not show up for work?

I don't know. Don't ask me.

- Where are you going? - I don't know. Whatever.

(Judge Han Soo Ho)

(Mom)

Hello? Mom?

Yes, come visit me this weekend with your brother.

I'm busy.

Talk to your brother and come visit me together.

I can't see you fight anymore.

You told me to never dream about seeing you again.

What changed?

I have something to tell you. Come down this weekend.

You must. If you don't, I'll go to Seoul.

Excuse me. My sons are visiting.

I know you hide good cuts in your refrigerator.

Give me that.

Darn it. I can't believe I got hit in the back of my head.

(Missed Calls, New Messages)

(Missed Calls, New Messages)

So Eun, it's me. No, I'm fine.

Where are you? Are you off work already?

So Eun, it's me.

My gosh, I'm sorry. You were worried, right?

No.

I fell on my way home and hurt the back of my head.

Gosh, I had a really bad headache.

I ended up sleeping through the day.

I'm really sorry. I didn't even call you.

My gosh.

Did you get hurt badly?

A little.

You were supposed to call when you got hurt.

I know.

Did something happen?

People from the administration office came.

They'll take the case file tomorrow. They already took the rest.

Why... Why? Why would they take my case files?

Because you submitted your letter of resignation.

- I was going to tell you. - When?

Before or after you submitted your letter of resignation?

I'm sorry I couldn't tell you in advance.

You promised to stay until I finished my training.

I'm sorry.

I only have less than 10 days left.

But you're quitting.

See you tomorrow.

I thought you might worry, so I came by to see you.

I was worried about you all day long.

I asked myself why I was so worried about you.

I was so worried to a point where I couldn't do anything...

which made me worry about myself.

Gosh, don't let this upset you.

I'll go visit you on the last day of your training with flowers.

With the biggest bouquet of flowers.

You're not my instructing judge anymore.

No, I'm not.

You won't give me work.

I have nothing to report to you about.

No.

You're not my superior, and I'm not your subordinate.

I never thought of you as my subordinate.

Anyway,

you're not my judge, and I'm not your trainee officer.

I'm going to go. See you tomorrow.

Spend the night here.
