Hey!

Stop right there!

Hey!

Let go!

You're going to hurt yourself. Hold still!

What's your problem? I didn't do anything wrong!

Then why did you run away?

You ran because you know what you did.

Damn it! Do you have a warrant?

Tell me. Do you have a warrant?

You want to see a warrant?

I guess you watched a few cop shows.

Stop it already. You can talk at the station.

It's an illegal arrest if you don't have an arrest warrant.

Illegal arrest? You don't know what you're talking about.

This is an emergency arrest.

This is a necessary capture of a fugitive suspect.

We don't need a warrant for these situations. Got it?

Even if it is an emergency arrest,

Article 200-5 of the Criminal Procedure Act still applies.

"When arresting a suspect, the prosecutor or judicial police officer

shall notify the suspect of the facts of the suspected crime,

the reason for arrest, their right to an attorney,

and give an opportunity to justify oneself."

This is also called the Miranda Rights. Are you not aware of this?

So I've just been illegally arrested?

The police illegally arrested a citizen!

You're filming all this right?

Post it on all your social media accounts.

Hey, why are you interrupting official police duties?

Are you an attorney or something?

-Yes. -What?

I'm Woo Young-woo, an attorney at Hanbada Law Firm.

Whether it's read straight or flipped, it's still Woo Young-woo.

Kayak, deed, rotator, noon, racecar, Woo Young-woo.

-Detective Park, uncuff him. -What?

Uncuff him!

Okay.

Now, Mr. Yang Jeong-il.

At this point, you are under emergency arrest.

You have the right to remain silent and to appoint an attorney.

You have the right to request the court to review the legality of the arrest too.

-Would that be all? -No.

You didn't inform him of the charges for his arrest.

Quasi-rape of a person with disabilities.

-What? -Are you serious?

-Goodness. -What a piece of trash.

This piece-of-trash bastard

sexually assaulted a woman with an intellectual disability!

Now, are we good here?

CASE 10 HOLDING HANDS CAN WAIT

What?

You really came.

Thank you so much.

You have no idea how much I begged my parents

to get me the Kayak Deed attorney.

You're a total celebrity! You were in the newspaper too.

The first autistic attorney of the Republic of Korea, Kayak Deed!

My name is Woo Young-woo.

Of course, I know.

But for some reason, I want to call you Attorney Kayak Deed.

Can I?

No. Call me Attorney Woo Young-woo.

Okay, Young-woo.

Mr. Yang Jeong-il.

You're charged with quasi-rape of a person with disabilities.

Do you have any idea how severe the punishment for that is?

The statutory penalty of typical rape is three or more years of imprisonment,

but the rape of a person with disabilities

is a life sentence or a minimum of seven years of imprisonment.

This isn't the time to talk about stuff like "kayak" and "deed."

Do you not realize how bad the situation is?

I really didn't do anything bad like that.

Yes, I had an HN with FFY, but rape?

Doesn't that involve hitting and swearing and forcing yourself on that person?

"FFY"?

"HN"?

Right.

It's my pet name for Hye-yeong.

"FFY."

"Fool For Yang Jeong-il"

And "HN" means, well…

You know.

"Hot Night."

Even if it is a pet name, why would you choose the word "fool"

for someone who is intellectually disabled?

She calls me a fool too.

"FFH."

"Fool For Hye-yeong"

What?

If you want the two to match, shouldn't it be "FFS"?

The victim's name is Shin Hye-yeong. Or change what you call her to "FFJ"--

Attorney Woo.

Is that really important right now?

No.

Hye-yeong and I

love each other.

Assailant and victim?

It's really nothing like that.

We understand that you didn't use violence or threaten her

in order to engage in sexual intercourse with her.

That's what Ms. Shin also said during the police investigation.

But a sex offense can be established even if there was no force involved.

The typical charge being quasi-rape.

And this case,

the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Punishment of Sexual Crimes--

Right! PSC!

I know what that is! The prosecutor always mentioned it.

Paragraph 4 of Article 6 states,

"A person who has sexual intercourse with another person by taking advantage

of a person's inability to resist or difficulty in resisting

due to physical or mental disability can be punished."

So the prosecution believes that you took advantage

of Ms. Shin's intellectual disability.

I didn't take advantage of anything!

I'm really not that kind of person!

You got Ms. Shin Hye-yeong to get a credit card issued under her name

and had her pay the date expenses that cost millions of won all by herself.

-Is that not taking advantage? -Listen.

Gosh.

Hye-yeong is well-off.

So she paid for the dates with her younger boyfriend.

Is that a crime?

Why did you join Eoulrim when you don't even have a disability?

The group introduces itself as

"A gathering of people with intellectual disabilities,

developmental disabilities, and autism."

That was for a good cause.

Groups like that usually need volunteers.

I was a member of Eoulrim and I met Hye-yeong.

And it was love at first sight.

Why doesn't anybody believe me?

Is it because Hye-yeong is disabled?

A person without disabilities truly loving a person with an intellectual disability.

Is it that hard to believe?

Who said that? We--

People with disabilities are kind and innocent.

They're people who fully deserve to be loved.

Attorney Kayak Deed would know.

Right?

Where did you pick up such a troublesome case like this?

I picked it up on subway line two.

I can already picture what must have happened.

You showed off by talking about illegal arrests and warrants, didn't you?

You did.

This is why they say

nothing good comes from letting people know you're an attorney.

Okay. From now on, I will try not to let other people know I'm an attorney.

Sexual assault usually happens in private, right?

So more often than not, the only evidence is the victim's statement.

In that situation, what should be done to defend the defendant?

Discredit the victim's statement.

But the victim is a person with an intellectual disability.

Then, of course,

the victim's statement is more likely to be neither specific nor consistent.

But despite knowing these circumstances,

you still have to discredit the credibility of the victim's statement.

This is quite an unpleasant thing to do as an attorney.

What if we get off this case now?

They can save on commission fees if they go to a smaller law firm than us.

That sounds like a better option for Mr. Yang's parents too.

I don't think that's a bad idea. What about you, Attorney Woo?

I…

I want to defend Mr. Yang Jeong-il.

Why?

What he's saying could be true.

You believe all that nonsense?

I want to…

believe it.

I want it to be true that he and Ms. Shin

are really in love.

If you want to believe the defendant that bad,

then you should take it.

Proceed with the case.

Okay.

Attorney Choi, you too.

Excuse me?

You know it's easy to get emotional when you want to believe the defendant.

Join Attorney Woo and "whoa, whoa" her

so she doesn't make that mistake.

"Whoa, whoa"?

Whoa. Please.

That's awesome.

Give me the details of the situation.

Including the air, sunlight, clouds, speed of the wind, temperature, and humidity.

So…

I like you.

I like you so much

that it feels like…

I'm sick inside.

He's sick because he likes you!

Call the doctor! Call the ambulance!

Hello? Is this 911?

What? You're not just 911 but the 911 of love?

All right.

The problem is after that.

After liking each other.

What do I do now?

How did you respond to him after he said he likes you?

Well…

Kayak, deed, rotator, noon, racecar, Yeoksam Station.

Yeoksam Station.

Attorney Woo!

So you ran away after he expressed his feelings to you?

This punk dined and dashed.

Dined and dashed on love.

At the time, my mind turned blank.

So I just wanted to get away from the situation.

I was rude, right?

Well, I wouldn't say you were rude--

More like weird.

Forget about it. Just do something before it gets even worse.

What do I do?

You date Jun-ho.

Hey, how can you date someone right away just because they said they like you?

You have to get to know each other first by going on a few dates.

How do you do that?

Going on dates?

There's not much to it.

Get food, have tea,

watch movies, and sing karaoke.

Do things you think would be fun to do together.

There's a lot to do if you look into it.

Look at you.

Hairy Boss, you know a lot of things when you don't even have a girlfriend.

Do you go on imaginary dates?

I'm going to live aggressively from now on.

If you know someone nice, introduce me to him.

Because I'm going to win him over.

You're going to aggressively win someone over?

I can think of someone.

He knows a lot about being nice.

He pulls out seats, opens car doors,

makes the person walk on the inside of the street when walking together,

and carries their things.

Really?

Can I introduce you to a girlfriend?

-What? -Hey, what about me?

Introduce me to someone too.

She's like an angel in the spring sunshine who recently said

she's going to aggressively win a good guy over.

Aggressive, win over, good guy, spring sunshine, angel?

Gosh, she sounds amazing.

Hey, what about me?

What about me?

You…

Hey.

So when will this be happening?

I have to go on a diet.

Me, first.

Well…

SEOUL CENTRAL DISTRICT COURT

That is all.

Counselor.

Give your opening statement.

Excuse me.

Can Attorney Kayak Deed defend me?

What?

Everyone here

is glaring at us.

I don't think they will be able to once they know you're my attorney.

-What? -Yes. The defendant has a point.

Attorney Woo, you give the opening statement.

So that it doesn't look like a trial between the disabled and non-disabled.

Are you not giving your statement?

I'm sorry. We'll get started right away.

Remember what you said during your first trial?

To excuse you because you have autism. Begin with that.

I have autism spectrum disorder.

Right.

So please excuse me if my speech seems inarticulate and my actions awkward.

JURY

The defendant denies all charges in this case.

The defendant, Mr. Yang, and the victim, Ms. Shin,

are in a loving relationship

and engaged in consensual intercourse.

-What? -Lies!

-Consensual? -You call that love?

-What are you saying? -What nonsense is that?

Goodness.

Silence in the court!

Do you not know courtroom etiquette?

Mr. Yang Jeong-il and Ms. Shin Hye-yeong

used an app called Alkongdalkong, which was developed for couples.

On March 13th, the two chatted on Alkongdalkong

and had the following conversation.

"FFH" is the defendant's pet name, which means "Fool For Shin Hye-yeong,"

and "FFY" is the victim's pet name, which means "Fool For Yang Jeong-il."

It's unfortunate that they did not match the two by either last name or first name.

Anyway,

please look closely at their conversation.

FFH: FFY, DID YOU SLEEP WELL? DO YOU WANT TO GO TO THE CK AND CFDT?

"Go to the CK and CFDT?"

"CK" means "Coin Karaoke."

"CFDT" means "Chicken For Dinner Tonight?" Both are abbreviations.

"HN" is an abbreviation of "Hot Night," referring to sexual intercourse.

What about "Shine, shine"?

"Shine, shine"?

-What? -Right.

Are you referring to the "Shiii shiii" that comes after

"I don't know, I don't know"?

Right.

That's "Shiii, shiii"?

Yes, I think it's a modification of the word "shy."

Similar modifications would be "When will you be dun?" and "I miss ya."

Those I understand.

You don't have to explain.

Based on Ms. Shin's written statement, the prosecution claims

on March 12th, the day before these chat messages,

Mr. Yang Jeong-il sexually assaulted Ms. Shin Hye-yeong.

But does this chat that starts with "Did you sleep well?"

and ends with "I miss ya" seem like a conversation

between a sexual assault victim and the assailant?

Isn't it fair to see this

as a loving chat between a couple who are deeply in love?

You have to read between the lines!

Calling each other by pet names and saying "I miss you" doesn't mean love.

That gigolo-like bastard seduced Hye-yeong

then took her to karaoke and ate chicken!

He even took her to motels!

He was just enjoying himself!

What's going on today?

If you keep speaking up without permission,

you'll be removed from the courtroom.

Your Honor, she is the victim's mother.

It was wrong of her to speak without your permission, but…

That's how that bastard played my daughter.

It's all up there, but what?

A loving chat?

How can you call yourself an attorney when you can't even tell the difference?

Ma'am!

I said be quiet!

Sit down.

Attorney Woo?

Yes. You told me last time

that you have some information about her.

Right. It's nothing.

Come on. What is it?

Your face is saying otherwise.

Well…

Someone wrote a post on Hanbada's bulletin board

saying that the CEO went to university with Attorney Woo's father,

so she gave her a job at Hanbada.

That's it?

What? Yes.

There's nothing about Tae Su-mi?

Tae Su-mi?

Apparently, Attorney Woo

is Tae Su-mi's daughter.

What?

What?

According to who?

Do you still…

like me?

Yes, I do.

And I was hurt when you just left like that last time.

Right.

About that…

I'm sorry.

If you still like me,

what if we get to know each other better before becoming an official couple?

Yes, that sounds like a good idea.

I researched things to do on dates and made a list.

THINGS TO DO ON DATES

Goodness.

There's a lot.

-Yes. -Well…

Is taking you home not on here?

What?

It isn't.

Really?

Should I add it?

I'll take you home today.

Right.

Add…

-Okay. -Let's go.

Then I'm assuming…

holding hands while taking you home isn't on the list, right?

No. Even if it was on there, holding hands is not easy for me.

My father often wanted to hold my hand too,

but I could only bear it for a maximum of 57 seconds.

Really?

What happens if you hold hands for over 57 seconds?

I want to let go to the point where it becomes unbearable if I don't.

Right, I see.

Do you want to hold hands

even if it is only for 57 seconds?

Are you sure?

I can't do it.

Right.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

No, it's all right.

I'll just take you home today then.

Holding hands can wait.

"Holding hands can wait."

What is the exact degree of the victim's intellectual disability?

Well…

Ms. Shin Hye-yeong has a mild intellectual disability with an IQ of 65.

Through training, she is able to have a social life and a job.

She has the developmental age of a 13-year-old, so a 6th grader.

This is the victim's statement

that was written during the police investigation process.

Have you seen this?

As a psychiatrist, how do you feel about this statement?

Overall, I feel that it has credibility.

The descriptions of the circumstances at the time of the assault are in detail

and her thoughts and emotions are also expressed consistently.

The victim's thoughts and emotions?

Like what?

"When the sex began, I started to feel bad."

"I was scared."

"I didn't like it because I thought I would get in trouble with Mom."

She's expressing herself clearly.

Then why wasn't the victim able to resist the defendant's actions?

The reason is written in the statement without me having to speculate.

"I said no and he got upset. He was about to cry."

"He said it wasn't true love."

People with intellectual disabilities are especially vulnerable to violence

that takes advantage of relationships or disguised as affection.

The victim seems to have been afraid that she might lose this relationship

if she denied the unwanted sex.

And it's highly likely that she didn't know how to refuse in the first place.

Yes, that is all.

Counselor, begin cross-examination.

Witness.

Have you seen the chats between the defendant and Ms. Shin?

No, I haven't.

According to the prosecution's claim,

the defendant raped Ms. Shin on March 12th.

That day,

Ms. Shin said the following to the defendant on chat.

Could you read the underlined sentences?

"I love you. I miss ya."

"I've been waiting for you to text me for a while now."

"Let's always be together."

Such affectionate expressions

are not only seen on the chat on March 12th.

The chat between the two

is full of Ms. Shin's expressions of love for the defendant

until the day he was arrested and was no longer able to chat.

What do you think about this?

I think it's awfully…

heartbreaking.

Excuse me?

We all want to love and be loved.

It's the same for people with intellectual disabilities too.

Rather, the desire is even greater.

Because in most cases,

it's harder for them to get the attention or affection they want from others.

Can't you tell from Ms. Shin Hye-yeong's earnest expressions of love here?

The problem is that, with people who have intellectual disabilities,

there are many situations where they misunderstand

an impure motive toward them as pure affection.

Their ability to distinguish between normal and improper relationships

is sometimes lacking as well.

In that sense, it's hard to say that Ms. Shin Hye-yeong

has sound decision-making capabilities when it comes to sex.

You just said that Ms. Shin Hye-yeong's statement is consistent and detailed.

But now you're saying

she can't tell the difference between normal and improper relationships.

She is able to write credible statements

but doesn't have decision-making capabilities about sex.

Isn't that too vague of a diagnosis?

What exactly is Ms. Shin's condition?

I'm…

talking about the ability to protect oneself.

Anyone can experience what they thought was a loving relationship

actually turn out to be fraud, deception, and violence.

But most people can protect themselves even if they go through such a thing.

And they try not to repeat the same mistake.

But it's different if you have a disability like Ms. Shin Hye-yeong.

Even if she has the ability to make credible statements about the situation,

the power to protect herself

from the defendant's malicious intent is lacking.

I don't think my diagnosis is contradictory.

Do you have something to say?

Yes.

But…

Hye-yeong!

Shin Hye-yeong!

Well…

I'm by myself when I go to the BA.

What are you doing by yourself?

Gosh.

"BA"?

Young-woo.

I just heard from the prosecutor that Yang Jeong-il has done this before.

What?

He was investigated by the police for dating another person

with an intellectual disability at a different organization.

Really?

But there wasn't anything on his criminal record.

It wasn't a sexual assault charge back then.

The problem was that he spent a lot of money using her credit card.

Yang Jeong-il paid her back and settled with the victim,

which is why the police closed the investigation.

When was this?

Not that long ago. It was last year.

Well…

I have to go meet Mr. Yang Jeong-il.

Is this true?

Well, Young-woo…

Defendant.

Stop calling Attorney Woo by her name.

It's uncomfortable to hear.

Attorney Woo…

You said you were truly in love with Ms. Shin Hye-yeong.

You said it was love at first sight and that you didn't expect that to happen.

Yes, those words are all true.

You're not just going around volunteering at organizations

for people with intellectual disabilities, looking for someone easy to fool?

Is what happened last year even your first time?

How many victims were there before Ms. Shin?

What do you mean by that?

How could you say something like that?

I'm really not a bad person!

There's no reason for me to continue defending you

if you and Ms. Shin don't truly love each other.

I am withdrawing.

What? Attorney Woo.

Attorney Choi.

I agree with Attorney Woo.

Hye-yeong and I

really do love each other!

But true love doesn't have to be your first love.

I'm begging you.

Please?

Please believe me.

Are you really going to withdraw from Mr. Yang Jeong-il's case?

Yes, I'm going to talk to Attorney Jung tomorrow

and submit my withdrawal.

I see.

Have you heard of the saying that lovers who walk

the Deoksugung Stonewall Walkway together will break up?

No. Is that a saying?

Yes. In the past, the Seoul Family Court and the Supreme Court

were at the north end of the Deoksugung Stonewall Walkway.

This saying originated from having to walk down this walkway to get a divorce.

Wait.

Then shouldn't we stop walking now?

What?

You believe in these things?

It has no scientific evidence.

Besides, the Seoul Family Court moved to Seocho-dong in 1995

and then again to Yangjae-dong in 2012 along with the Seoul Administrative Court…

Jun-ho!

I can't believe I'm running into you like this again. What a coincidence.

Tell me about it. Long time no see, Jun-ho.

Gosh, I was curious about how you were doing.

Right. How have you all been?

What?

Isn't she…

Nanuri?

I told you it's not like that.

It's not?

Then…

I'm on a date right now.

What?

We are on a date.

Walking down Deoksugung Stonewall Walkway.

I work with her. She's Attorney Woo Young-woo.

Say hi, guys.

Hello, I'm Woo Young-woo.

Whether it's read straight or flipped, it's still Woo Young-woo.

Kayak, deed, rotator, noon, racecar, Woo Young-woo.

I see.

Right.

Hello.

-Barista Academy! -Excuse me?

According to the chat,

Ms. Shin started going to a barista academy a few months ago.

She let me know that she's alone when she goes to the academy.

So…

The academy is on Jongno 3-ga,

and she has class every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and ends at 9 p.m.

We have to go now. That's the only way to meet Ms. Shin.

What? Attorney Woo!

Hey, let's meet up for drinks soon. I'll be in touch.

Attorney Woo!

Wait!

Let's go together!

Ms. Shin Hye-yeong!

COOL BARISTA ACADEMY

Ms. Shin, what was it that you wanted to say to me?

I love him.

-What? -What?

Please don't let him go to jail.

Right.

You mean Mr. Yang Jeong-il.

Yes.

Right.

Do you not want him to go to jail?

No.

But you gave a statement saying that he sexually assaulted you.

-He didn't sexually assault me! -He didn't sexually assault you?

My mom made me say that.

My mom hates men.

She thinks they're all gigolo-like bastards.

Well, Mr. Yang Jeong-il…

does seem like a gigolo-like bastard.

Yes.

What?

You knew that he's a gigolo-like bastard?

Yes.

Yet you still…

love him?

Yes.

Is that not allowed?

Well…

No.

There's nothing wrong with that.

Please don't let FFH go to jail.

Please.

Then can you testify what you just said at the next trial?

Gigolo-like bastard?

-What? -What?

You just said you don't want Mr. Yang to go to jail.

Yes.

We want you to say that in court

directly to the judges.

Right.

But what if my mom says I can't?

You can still testify even if your mother tells you not to.

You're a 27-year-old adult.

So you can make your own decisions.

As you know,

Mr. Yang is a gigolo-like bastard.

He's a bad guy.

Yes.

But even people with disabilities

have the freedom to fall in love with a bad guy.

Whether you experienced love or sexual assault,

it's up to you to make the judgment.

Don't let your mother and the court

decide for you.

I mean, why is everyone so interested in my salary, deposits, and savings?

There was a guy who asked for my date and time of birth on the first date

so he could check our astrological compatibility.

And another guy asked about my dad's job and talked about him the entire time.

Gosh.

I just want to be in a relationship with a good guy.

Is that too much to ask for?

I think the guys you're being set up with all have marriage on their minds.

Why don't you try clubbing instead of going on blind dates?

I don't want to go clubbing.

Clubs are only for one-night stands and stuff.

Hey, what's wrong with one-night stands?

You only live once. Go out and enjoy yourself.

Forget it, I'm here. I have to go.

Hello.

Take a seat right there.

Well…

Nice to meet you.

I'm Kim Min-sickly prickly.

Sickly prickly.

Right.

Hello.

I'm Choi Su-yeon.

I see.

You said you live nearby, right?

I made a reservation here because it was close.

I live in Bundang. I work nearby.

I see. Okay.

Well…

There must be some really great bread where you live.

-What? -"Bun, dang."

Bun…

Right.

Bun, dang?

Bundang.

Well…

Should we look at the menu?

Yes, sure.

Gosh, they have a salad with oranges in it.

Orange you glad you came out tonight?

I'll go with

the gorgonzola cheese pizza, hoping it'll be "grate."

How do you feel about having banana cake for dessert?

If you eat bananas,

will you find me "a-peeling"?

Right.

Gosh.

I heard you cook and here you are making food jokes.

Was I?

It must come with the job. I didn't even realize.

Eat your noodles, not your strudel.

Don't doodle on your noodles.

Take it.

No, it's all right. I can call back later.

No, please take it right now.

Shall I?

Hello?

Hairy Boss, I want suyuk. How do you make it?

What are you talking about? Hang up! I'm busy!

No, I'm not busy.

Hold on. It's bay leaves and what else?

Gochujang?

Why would you put gochujang in suyuk?

I'm sorry. It's my employee.

What? The house is on fire?

I'll be there. I'll take care of it!

I'm sorry, there's a fire at my house. I think I should go.

I know you made time to see me. I'm really sorry.

Why would you go when there's a fire?

Oh, I got it. It's ssamjang!

Is it not?

Hairy Boss, are you listening to me?

Yes.

I think I've just been ditched.

What? Already?

What on earth did you do to get ditched right away?

Did you fart?

I don't know.

Why was I ditched? It's not like we were having dinner in a ditch.

What the…

Hello?

-Hey, get ready. Let's go clubbing. -What?

You said we only live once.

Let's go out and enjoy ourselves!

Let's get wild tonight!

So what kind of guy do you want?

Tell us. What do you mean by "good guy"?

I mean, it's not like I'm asking for a lot.

He should be tall enough.

Okay.

He should have broad shoulders.

Shoulders are important.

He should have a nice smile, and…

Him?

Hey, he's been eyeing you for a while now.

Me?

Me?

-What? -Hey, he's coming. Let's go.

Hey!

The music's good today, right?

Right.

The music.

Yes.

Thank you for not abandoning me

and staying on as my attorney.

What?

It's not for your sake.

It's for Ms. Shin's sake.

You should thank her, not us.

You smell like alcohol.

And you're wearing the same outfit as yesterday.

Be quiet.

-How was the blind date? -It didn't work out.

All rise.

You may be seated.

Defendant.

I see you requested the victim, Ms. Shin Hye-yeong, as your witness.

Yes, Ms. Shin expressed her wish to testify in court through our attorney.

Your Honor. Please consider that given this is a case of sexual assault,

it would be difficult for the victim to remain calm in front of the defendant.

I request for the defendant to be removed from the courtroom

so the victim can properly testify.

I agree.

Defendant, you'll be removed from the courtroom during witness questioning.

Ms. Shin Hye-yeong.

Come forward.

"I solemnly swear that I will tell the truth,

the whole truth, and nothing but the truth,

and agree to receive punishment

in accordance with perjury should there be any falsehood."

Counselor, you may begin questioning the witness.

Do you want Mr. Yang to be punished for sexually assaulting you?

-Yes. -What?

You want Mr. Yang to go to jail?

No, I don't.

Why not?

Because I love him.

Witness, are you saying that you love Mr. Yang Jeong-il?

Yes.

FFY and FFH

are in love with each other.

So was the sexual intercourse that you and the defendant had on March 12th

consensual intercourse that happened because you love each other?

Yes.

So you're saying it wasn't sexual assault?

Yes.

Then during the police investigation,

why did you testify that Mr. Yang Jeong-il sexually assaulted you?

Well…

I don't know.

Did your mother perhaps tell you to say that?

Objection. Leading.

Overruled.

Counselor, go on with the questioning.

Did your mother tell you to testify that you were sexually assaulted?

I just…

Please don't let FFH go to jail.

That is all.

Prosecution, you may begin cross-examination.

Ms. Shin Hye-yeong.

You said you love Mr. Yang Jeong-il, right?

Yes.

What is love?

Can you define it?

Well…

Define it?

Well…

Love…

Objection!

What kind of question is that?

It's hard for anyone to answer such an abstract and vague question.

Okay, then I'll be more specific.

Ms. Shin, do you know what sexual intercourse is?

Yes.

Do you know what sexual assault is?

Yes.

Then what is the difference between the two?

How are sexual intercourse and sexual assault different?

Well…

Well…

An adult…

An adult…

Well…

Ms. Shin, let me ask a different question.

Can you open your eyes?

On March 12th,

after leaving the motel you were at with Mr. Yang Jeong-il,

you went straight home, correct?

Yes.

After that, you went straight into your room

and scratched the back of your left hand with your right hand so hard

that you hurt yourself.

Is this correct?

Yes.

This is a picture of Ms. Shin's hand taken that day.

Why did you do this?

Well…

That's because…

That's because--

Weren't you extremely stressed from the defendant's one-sided sexual advances?

Objection!

The fact that you didn't stop harming yourself

until your mother found you and took you to the hospital

shows how taxing the mental aftereffects of the defendant's sexual assault was.

Objection!

Scratching the back of her hand is merely a habit that she has.

It's speculative of the prosecution to say

that it's because of the intercourse she had with the defendant.

Is the prosecution asking the witness questions

or forcing her own speculations?

Mom, I don't want to do this.

Mom…

Hye-yeong.

Are you okay?

Come here.

It's okay.

Hey!

You have autism?

What?

So do you think you know how every person with disabilities feels?

To spew some bullshit about having the freedom to love a bad guy?

Ma'am, calm down and if you have something to say, you can talk to me--

You know what?

I have to protect my daughter from this messed-up world.

I have to protect my child from the evil bastards

who try to take advantage of her in every way possible

the second they think she's innocent and soft!

You don't even know how I feel, but what?

A disabled person's right to love?

Who are you to talk about autism and disability?

Is my child's disability the same as yours?

Please take your ridiculous attempt at empathizing elsewhere.

It's disgusting. Do you understand?

"It's disgusting. Do you understand?"

Hey, Jun-ho. I want to meet the girl you're seeing.

Why won't you call her over? I'm the only one who hasn't seen her.

All right, I'll invite her next time.

Are you really sure about this?

Even if she's an attorney, you should think this one through.

-What do you mean? -I mean, forget about us.

But can you really tell your parents that you're dating someone like her?

What do you mean by "someone like her"?

Why are you saying it like that?

I mean…

Honestly, it's…

You know.

It's what?

-It's what? Tell me. -Well, it's just something.

Come on, what's just something?

You know,

Jun-ho has always been nice.

It's because he's nice.

Hey, I'm going to get going.

I don't get what any of you are saying.

-No. -Come on, sit.

-Let go. -Okay.

I've been in that kind of relationship before.

I've done it

and that's not love.

-What? -Dating a pitiful girl you want to help.

That's not love.

That's…

sympathy.

Hey, stop it.

Right. Hey, are you drunk? He's drunk. Let's make a--

"A pitiful girl you want to help"?

Who's so pitiful?

Come on, who's so pitiful?

Hey!

-Stop it. -Let go!

You bastard.

-I'm just looking out for you. -Hey, come here. What did you say?

-What do you know, you bastard? -That bastard!

-Hey, come here. -Hey, let go.

-Let go of me. Hey, come here. -Let go.

-Hey, let go. -Say that again!

The alcohol tastes sweet today.

It really does.

-Attorney Kim. -Yes?

Didn't you go to university with Attorney Tae Su-mi from Taesan?

Tae Su-mi?

Yes, I went to the same school as her.

Right?

I heard a preposterous rumor about her.

-Preposterous rumor? -Yes.

I heard that Attorney Tae

has another child.

Oh, that.

Goodness.

That she has another child?

My goodness.

You know about this?

That's just gossip.

Gosh.

During university, Tae Su-mi took a break

from school out of nowhere, saying she was going to study abroad.

-I see. -Her family is well-off

so it wasn't a big deal when or where she went.

But something didn't add up.

It's not like she graduated

or passed the bar.

But she just suddenly went to study abroad.

Right.

People started speculating all sorts of things

and that's how that rumor came about.

People and their imaginations.

Have a child? My goodness.

Attorney Kim, do you perhaps…

remember what year it was when she took a break from school?

Let's see.

Well…

I was 24 and it was before I went to the army, so…

it might be 1996.

Then that's about…

twenty-six years ago, right?

Gosh, 1996 was 26 years ago?

Yes.

Jeez, time really flies.

If I ended up with Yeong-suk back then and had a kid,

they would be around 27 years old, right?

Right.

Most of the female rookies who joined the firm this year are around that age.

Really?

Goodness.

First, I will announce the jury's review.

On the charges.

Three of the seven jurors

found the defendant guilty,

four found the defendant not guilty. Therefore, not guilty.

-This is absurd! -That's unbelievable!

-Not guilty? -No way!

This doesn't make sense.

-Not guilty? -This is absurd!

Quiet down.

This court

sincerely respects

the jury's opinions.

Now, for the verdict.

Stand up.

Okay.

Formal adjudication.

The defendant…

is sentenced to two years imprisonment.

The defendant is ordered to complete

a 40-hour sex offender treatment program.

-The defendant's information -Young-woo.

will be notified and disclosed through the information network for five years.

Am I…

The defendant

-Am I going to jail? -is restricted from employment

-Yes. -for five years at institutions

and welfare facilities related to people with disabilities.

Grounds of judgment are as follows.

The crime, in this case, is due to the defendant engaging in indecent acts

-with the victim, who is unable -Hye-yeong.

to defend herself against sexual assault due to her intellectual disability.

-Thus, the nature of the crime is bad, -Hye-yeong.

and is highly likely to be criticized.

-He also seems to have -Hye-yeong, why are you crying?

intentionally joined organizations for people with autism and intellectual

-and developmental disabilities. -Why are you crying? He's being punished.

Furthermore, after the crime,

-the victim's intellectual disability -Hye-yeong.

and anxiety seems to have become severe,

and due to the crime,

the victim appears to have suffered considerable physical and mental trauma.

It's House 607 at the end over there.

That's where Attorney Kwon and I live.

I see.

So…

Min-woo said

he'll be coming home late today.

Do you want to come in for a second?

No, I'm tired so I would like to go home.

Right.

Then let's head out together. I'll walk you home.

What?

That means

there was no point in me walking you home.

The route is inefficient too.

Dates are like that.

No meaning, no efficiency.

Foolish.

If you have a disability,

I think merely liking someone

is not enough.

Because even if I say it's love,

if other people say it's not,

then it's not.

Are you talking about the case today?

I'm not sure

if I'm talking about the case

or myself.

Even if other people say it's not,

if you say it's love,

it's love.

Loving me…

is hard.

Yes.

It appears so.

But are you still going to?

Yes.

Do your teeth

usually knock against each other when kissing?

No?

Then what am I supposed to…

Well…

I think…

it would be better if you open up your mouth a bit more.

And it would be better…

if you closed your eyes a bit more.

Right.

I'm sorry. We're closed for…

Can I come in?

How could you come here? What if Young-woo sees you?

Taesan has an overseas office in Boston.

Go with Young-woo.

Young-woo is working at Hanbada.

Who are you to tell her where to go when she's not even working at Taesan?

Gwang-ho.

Did you plan this with Han Seon-young?

Did you two plan

to get Young-woo employed at Hanbada

so you can take me down?

The world doesn't revolve around you.

What plan?

Hanbada gave her the job because Young-woo is outstanding.

Yes.

Young-woo is outstanding.

Which is why I'm making the offer.

This is a great opportunity for her to grow as an international attorney.

Convince her.

I'll provide everything so she can focus solely on her work

when she's in the States.

Are you not trying to send her as far away from you as possible

because she could get in the way of you becoming the Minister of Justice?

Does Young-woo

have a doctor or a counselor?

-What? -She has autism.

Do you have a professional who takes exclusive care of her?

I gave Young-woo every treatment she needed.

And she's doing well without all that.

Is that so?

Are you sure it's not that you can't do enough for her?

It's not too late to do what's best for her.

Awareness and treatment for autism

are much more advanced in the States than in Korea.

Do you have any idea

how many communities there are for people with autism just in Boston?

There will be a lot of

doctors and counselors who specialize in autism too.

But here, Young-woo's all alone.

Are you going to take responsibility for her life and help her forever?

Young-woo is my daughter.

Who are you to interfere and tell me what to do now?

You've been living selfishly without showing up once all this time.

And now, what?

You've got some nerve.

You're one to talk.

Did you forget about our promise?

You said you'd disappear forever

if I gave birth to Young-woo.

Why did you break that promise and show up again?

Are you trying to get revenge on me

by using Young-woo?

Or is it money?

Are you trying to get money from me?

Hey!

Get out.

Get out!

Recently, two other people and I

pooled our money and bought lottery tickets.

And we promised to split it evenly if any of us won.

I really need the 1.4 billion won.

If you get a divorce, does the prize money have to be divided as well?

This is the first time I've constantly thought of someone,

so it's quite strange.
