My emotions suddenly intensified

that I couldn't see anything.

I got so scared that I blanked out.

I couldn't think of what to do at all.

But he...

He got a call.

[Mom]

[119]* (Emergency 911 in Korea)

Hello, this is 119. What's your emergency?

Excuse me, are you all right?

Excuse me, are you unable to speak at the moment?

I wanted to ask my dad what to do,

- but he didn't answer. - The call is not going through. You'll be connected to...

[119]

I put a hoodie on...

to hide the bloody clothes.

[119]

[Your Honor: Episode 2]

There was no one on the bridge.

Why did you` throw away that phone?

I was scared.

I wanted to run away.

What a mess.

The police are investigating the hit-and-run case on the beltway.

They stated that they're investigating using the evidence collected at the scene.

Some say this case might be

a gang retaliation toward Chairman Kim Gang Heon of Woo One Group...

Well...

The police said speculation without evidence can confuse the investigation...

- Of course, there's evidence. - Excuse me.

The hit-and-run that happened

on the beltway of Woowon City around 7:30 a.m. yesterday...

Welcome. How can I help you?

Would you like a document printed?

Well, my girlfriend...

Girlfriend?

Yes. I think she's seeing another man.

Girlfriend? Don't you mean your wife?

I mean, go ahead.

Yes, I happened to see my girlfriend's phone yesterday.

She got a text receipt for repairing a car here two days ago.

So?

I think she came here with another man when she got the car fixed.

Oh, I see.

I'm sorry, but can I see the CCTV recording from that day?

I can't just show that to anyone.

No one can find out about it.

Yes, I suppose so.

If people find out that you showed me the recording,

I'd be in bigger trouble than you.

Where are you?

- Cheong Ha is very sick right now. - Mother,

you can't even take care of a child at your age?

Where's Cheong Gang? That SOB didn't come home last night, either, huh?

He's never helpful. He takes after his mom.

Take her to the hospital first.

Play this one...

Since today is the 9th...

Was it the 8th, did you say? The 7th?

A-April...

It's the 7th.

The 7th.

There are so many.

What time?

I think it was around three in the afternoon.

Three o'clock...

Okay, have a look at this.

- I don't think I see it. - May I have a look at it myself?

Okay, go ahead.

It's not there. I don't see it.

I found it.

That woman is your girlfriend?

Can I look...

closely for five more minutes?

Pardon?

I want to find out who this bastard is.

I think it's someone I know.

Things like this happen with people you know.

I know.

Could I have a look more closely?

Just five minutes, then.

A motorcycle knocked over on the coastal highway in Woowon City.

- He's screwed now. - There are fragments of the motorcycle.

- Kim Sang Hyeon was riding the motorcycle around 7:30. - You can get into a car accident once.

- But while making a right turn... - But the problem is...

- that the victim is Chairman Kim Gang Heon's son. - A citizen who found Kim...

He's basically totally screwed.

There's nothing more to say. There's no way out.

He needs to sacrifice his life to settle.

The victim's brother, Mr. Kim Sang Hyeok, said the culprit needs to be punished harshly.

When a wild dog mauls a man to death,

we scour the whole mountain to wipe out the pack of wild dogs.

That's justice.

That means Woo One Group will find the culprit themselves.

The 119 rescue team that was dispatched to the scene...

That's what he means, right?

but he ended up passing away. The police secured...

Woo One Group is really scary.

If they catch the culprit, they won't send him to the police.

They'd kill him.

Even if you kill someone in a hit-and-run,

you only get five years in prison.

His precious son was killed. The mighty Chairman Kim Gang Heon

won't be satisfied with five years in prison. No way.

He'd kill him without anyone knowing.

The body won't be found, either.

They'd chop it up or burn it.

They'd figure it out.

...asked to refrain from it.

Yesterday, Woo One Group's Chairman Kim Gang Heon's younger son...

You've seen enough, right?

Sir.

[Delete]

Well, sir.

It's been five minutes.

I'm sorry.

The police secured the CCTV recordings in the area...

Well, cheer up, sir. Don't cry.

Kim, the victim, turns out to be the son of Chairman Kim Gang Heon...

Cheer up.

The kid who fixed the tire wouldn't know about the accident, right?

It looked like he talked to you briefly.

He said the tire seemed old.

He thought I should replace all four of them.

There was blood on your shirt.

He probably didn't see it.

I was wearing a hoodie. I zipped it up all the way, too.

If the repairman noticed anything weird about your car,

both of us will be done for. Are you certain?

Yes.

He didn't notice anything.

He would've asked me about it if he did.

And...

there's one thing left.

What is it?

You.

Even if they find evidence and investigate you,

you must deny it until the end.

You can't do anything with that look on your face.

Starting now, our lives depend on your facial expressions and behavior.

Keep that in mind.

I'll have a pack of cigarettes.

[Dad]

- You're all set. - Okay.

[Dad]

Are you out of your mind?

- What's wrong? - When will you come home?

What do you care? All you do is get drunk and hit me.

You son of a bitch.

Give this money to Grandma. Tell her it's Cheong Ha's hospital bill.

F***. What's the point of working to death?

They're no help whether they're young or old.

I mean...

Chief, you can't give us the case the Transportation Department couldn't take care of.

This is the Violent Crimes Department.

You know how many cases there are in Woowon City every night.

Yes. Even-

Even with the higher-up's order, we can't.

We won't allow it. Chief-

He hung up. What the f***.

[Jang Chae Rim]

Hello, Judge Song.

What brings you here?

I heard you stopped by the Transportation Department yesterday.

Is something going on?

Feel free to talk to me.

I'm dying to know.

To be honest,

a car got stolen.

Really? Your car?

Not mine.

It's Eun Hye's old car.

Ho Yeong obsesses over that car because he can't get over his mom.

I thought it was for the better at first.

But he's feeling down since the car is gone.

He won't talk much, and he won't eat, either.

He'd get over it since he's a grown-up.

But if that car turns up later by chance,

I think he'd feel very confused.

So, if you happen to find it, don't tell...

anyone but me.

I'll take care of it.

Okay. I'll do that.

Try thinking from the kids' perspective.

That sweet kid misses her mom

and cries all night, holding back.

I'm her grandma, but I didn't know that child was hurting.

It's so pathetic.

You should stop drinking and stop hitting them, too.

For f***'s sake.

You think I feel good? Mom,

I feel plenty stressed, too.

I sent money through Cheong Gang today.

Take her to the hospital or whatever.

What?

F***. I told you to take her to the hospital.

Hey, Lee Sang Taek.

Director Jeong.

Let's keep things clean.

Go to the address I send you and just deliver the car.

Don't get distracted and cause trouble.

I'll kill you for real.

Okay.

3878, Honors. Pull over to the right.

You ran a red light.

Pull over to the right.

Is something going on these days?

Han is worried. He thinks something's going on.

I'm not sure.

My head feels heavy these days.

Did you know we call you "Scale" behind your back?

Scale?

You said judges have scales in their heads

and what we do is balance crime and punishment.

You've always said that to us.

That's what I thought.

But I don't feel that these days.

I thought I'd been living with the strength of my brain.

But I guess I'm getting old.

I keep wanting to live with the strength of my heart.

You ran a red light. Show me your license, please.

[Name: Lee Sang Taek]

Please look up 28-Ro-3878, Honors.

W-What are you doing?

Get back in the car.

I hope you understand.

Ever since I lost my wife two years ago,

I'm living with my sick mother and a six-year-old girl.

The older kid won't go to school, and he causes trouble every day.

I'm so frustrated with my life.

Don't give me stuff like that.

You'll get punished more heavily for bribing.

I'll just let you go today.

Follow the traffic rules from now on.

Thank you! Thank you!

28-Ro-3878, Honors was confirmed stolen.

What?

Shit, I'm screwed.

What's wrong with you? Calm down.

Don't move! I'll shoot you if you move!

Hey, hey! Stop!

- Are you okay? - Yes.

8783. 8783. Stolen car. The suspect fled.

Assistance needed.

Ho Yeong!

Have you been home all day?

Yes.

I'm sorry.

Because of me,

even you committed a crime.

I feel bad about that.

I found the vehicle.

I wanted to let you know quietly since you asked me to,

but it became a problem because the thief assaulted an officer and fled.

I think we should start investigating.

Where's the vehicle?

It's in our jurisdiction storage.

There's nothing wrong with the vehicle.

I searched the trunk and the glove box,

but it doesn't seem it was used for a crime.

The bumper on this side was damaged.

It's always been like that.

Do you know who stole it?

It's someone named Lee Sang Taek.

He's a man in his 40s who lives in Jangbeom-dong.

May I take the car?

We'll have to investigate it further.

That's the rule normally,

but you're Judge Song.

I'll let you take it with you. Just one second.

[Towed Vehicles Storage Office]

The release was approved.

I'll place the car here for you.

I said it was your car, and they approved it right away.

Please sign here.

Oh, right. The tire went flat.

It'd be difficult to drive it now.

I'll take it to the repair shop I know.

- I can drive there, right? - No.

That'd be dangerous. The steering wheel would veer off.

I think you'd need a tow truck.

- We'll replace the tire and bring it to you. - No.

I'll call a tow truck and take it with me.

We have a tow truck, too.

We can go right now, then, right?

Why did the tire go flat?

What's this? Hold on, sir!

What?

Is this why the tire went flat?

What's this?

It looks like a motorcycle part.

Is it a fender?

- Fender? - Yes.

What's the date the vehicle was stolen?

I think it was the night of April 7th.

What's the date your son drove the vehicle last?

The vehicle was gone when I left for work on the morning of April 8th.

He probably drove it until the night of April 7th.

He was at the library until late at night to study for the exam.

You said he goes to Hanguk University, right?

Yes. But...

are you sure what you found in the vehicle is the fender of the motorcycle from the accident?

Well, we'll have to look into it further,

but the motorcycle from the accident was missing the fender.

Why do you ask?

Since my wife used to drive the car,

I don't want it to get involved with an unfortunate case like that.

I'm sorry.

You shouldn't apologize for it.

This is just for formality,

but I'd like to talk to your son as a material witness.

Would that be necessary?

It's just for formality. We need to write the witness report.

When?

The case got bigger than expected.

I'd like to do it now.

If you kill someone in a hit-and-run and assault an officer,

how long do you serve?

Are you asking me?

Yes. I thought you'd know since you're a judge.

How rude.

That's like asking me to estimate the price of an object.

I'm sorry, Judge Song.

Come on in.

Is he not home? Should we call him?

No, he's probably upstairs.

Have a seat here for a moment.

Why are the police here?

How did you know the police were here?

I saw them.

The car was found.

They found a motorcycle fender on the bottom of it.

It was stolen for two days...

and the thief is on the run after assaulting an officer.

When was the last time you drove the car?

Two days ago.

Yes, that's correct.

Come out.

When was the last time you drove the vehicle?

The night of April 7th?

It's been two days.

I studied at the library until late and drove back home.

You found out it was stolen the day after?

Yes.

I went out to go to school, but it was gone.

I thought Dad took it to Grandma's house at first,

but he said he didn't when I asked him.

How did the culprit take the car key?

My grandma always kept a spare key in the glove box.

You can't lock new cars if there's a key inside,

but you can lock that one because it's old.

I think the culprit found that key.

To steal the vehicle,

he probably needed a car key.

How did Lee Sang Taek know a spare key was in the glove box?

Maybe he didn't intend to steal the vehicle.

While trying to steal what's inside the car,

I wonder if he found the car key in the glove box by chance.

You're right.

You're smart, Ho Yeong.

I'm sorry for doing this so late. We had to start investigating before tomorrow.

You must be tired. Rest in your room.

We'll just finish the coffee and go.

Okay.

[May the deceased rest in peace]

Sang Hyeon...

My Sang Hyeon. It's too hot in there.

Sang Hyeon is burning!

Stop it!

It must be too hot for him!

What do we do?

My Sang Hyeon!

Sang Hyeon!

Sang Hyeon!

[Late Kim Sang Hyeon]

[Woo One Group]

[Late Kim Sang Hyeon]

It's your baby tooth you pulled out yourself.

You were so scared to pull out your tooth,

so I slapped you in the butt.

You cried for about two hours,

but pulled it out yourself and brought it to me.

Since I was upset about it...

you gave it to me as a present

so I wouldn't be upset.

I've been keeping it to this day

because I was grateful for your sentiment.

Now...

I'll give it back to you.

Rest easy.

Thank you...

for protecting me...

all this time.

Here they are.

I heard it could be a provocation from a rival gang. Is that true?

Do you have faith in the authority?

I heard you're trying to find the culprit.

- Please respond briefly! - A comment, please!

Are you going to run the Woo One Group in the future?

You have four months left in your sentence.

Will you return to jail after the funeral?

- What do you plan for the Woo One Group? - How do you feel?

Please tell us about the future plan!

I'll find the bastard who killed Sang Hyeon and take revenge.

Go back to the US.

If it were Grandpa...

What do you think Grandpa would've done?

Shit...

All the bones in his body were broken

and he was left there for 30 minutes.

He must've been in...

so much pain until he died.

Even a splinter in the fingernail hurts so much.

But his bones were broken...

Why are you...

not doing anything?

Catch the bastard who did that to Sang Hyeon and make him suffer the same way.

That way, Sang Hyeon could close his eyes.

What kind of dad are you?

Did you even love him?

How could you do this?

At least for me,

you should catch him and pay him back.

How could you not even get angry?

How?

How could you do this?

I'm not angry.

What?

Are you really Sang Hyeon's dad?

You bought him the motorcycle.

He died because of you.

You should take responsibility. How...

How could you say you're not angry?

I'm not angry...

because it hurts too much.

I'm too sad that...

I don't have a moment to feel angry.

I don't even remember how to get angry.

I'd like Chang Hyeok to come.

He's the most trustworthy one, anyway.

Make sure I can see him tomorrow morning.

The audio recording.

[Woowon Fire Station Recording]

Hello, this is 119. What's your emergency?

[Woowon Fire Station Recording]

Excuse me, are you all right?

Isn't it painful to listen to your son breathe?

It's not Sang Hyeon's breathing.

It's the breathing of someone with asthma.

The vehicle was reported stolen.

While being given a ticket by our officer,

the thief assaulted the officer and ran.

It's a man named Lee Sang Taek.

He used to live in Jangbeom-dong.

He works for Jo Mi Yeon of Boodu Gang.

And on the bottom of the vehicle, Vastervik Kiruna motorcycle's fender was found.

It looked like the one your younger son used to drive.

And the headlight cover that was found at the scene belonged to a 2007 Honors.

Chairman,

you can tell the headlight cover was replaced if you look at this.

This is also a 2007 model.

I'm certain Lee Sang Taek is the culprit.

Do you have a child, Team Leader Bae?

I have two elementary schoolers.

I'll do my best to catch Lee Sang Taek quickly, Chairman.

I'm not telling you to catch him quickly.

There are a few things the police haven't discovered yet.

What are they?

All the information on Lee Sang Taek.

I'd like to see it by tomorrow morning.

I'll get it ready, sir.

Yes, he left just now.

He left just like that?

Okay.

Got it.

Did merely a guy like him...

Did merely a guy like him kill my Sang Hyeon?

Someone so pathetic...

killed my Sang Hyeon?

How could that be?

How could someone so pathetic...

kill my Sang Hyeon?

His life isn't worth as much.

It doesn't even compare!

Please give me room to sit.

I have bad knees.

I'll keep it short. Listen while standing.

Does Lee Sang Taek work for you?

The Jangbeom-dong residents sometimes work for us and sometimes don't.

If we call them, they become ours

and if we don't, they aren't ours.

Lee Sang Taek...

isn't someone we contacted.

I don't think anyone planned to murder my son.

You had no reason to provoke us.

But if it turns out you dare tried to hide the truth,

I can no longer sit still.

Applying fake ointment to my wound

would be unforgivable.

We'll help you as much as we can.

As much as you can?

We're a bit flustered by this, too.

I'll get going since my knees are bad.

Assemblyman Jeong Yi Hwa's people called.

What for?

They asked us to take care of a car.

It turns out it was the car from the accident.

When?

Jeong Yi Hwa called me and asked me to get rid of it on the evening of the 8th.

The hit-and-run happened on the morning of the 8th.

The problem is the car belongs to Judge Song Pan Ho's mother-in-law.

Isn't it obvious?

Call Jeong Yi Hwa.

I told you not to call me during the day.

What?

What are you talking about?

How does that make sense?

Is it true?

[Jeong Yi Hwa]

Who is it?

What happened?

I was just about to call you.

Do you have a cigarette?

What happened? Say something.

You asked me to get rid of the car...

after the Woo One chairman's son was killed in the hit-and-run.

Tell me.

There are no secrets between us.

I did it.

I went to the police to turn myself in,

but when I heard the victim was Chairman Kim Gang Heon's younger son,

I turned around.

It became something the law can't fix.

If the law were to punish me,

I'll have to pay for my sin, but...

the one I'm facing is Chairman Kim Gang Heon.

Chairman Kim Gang Heon is looking everywhere for someone named Lee Sang Taek.

If they end up finding him,

I'd be in danger, too. Not only you.

Lee Sang Taek?

He apparently lives in Jangbeom-dong.

Lee Sang Taek?

That sounds familiar.

Have a seat.

There is one way.

Tell me. I'll do anything.

I'll have to risk my life, too.

I need to survive first.

There's nothing I can't do if I can.

Send Lee Sang Taek to Southeast Asia.

So, he never gets caught.

If we pay him handsomely and make sure he never returns here,

he'd be responsible for the accident.

You'll be able to distance yourself from the case forever, then.

P-Please make that happen.

We're finally in the same boat.

[Woowon District Court]

Lee Sang Taek.

I've definitely heard of that name.

Lee Sang Taek...

Lee Sang Taek...

284, Pyeonghwa-ro, Deogwang-gu... [Lee Sang Taek, Children: Lee Cheong Gang, Lee Cheong Ha, Mother: Kim Mi Yeong]

Are you busy?

Pardon?

The trial result for Case No. 4536.

There's something strange about it.

Please write up a summary and leave it on my desk.

Is something going on these days?

Why do you ask?

You're asking me to write a summary again.

Doesn't everyone do that?

They do.

But you're Judge Song Pan Ho.

You read trial material more thoroughly than anyone in the world.

People change as you age.

It was on your desk, and I brought it here.

It's something you like, Oppa.

I thought having it near you would make you happy.

Thank you.

Oppa!

Oppa!

Oppa!

Oppa!

Oppa!

[Hyoan Nursing Hospital]

Cheong Ha.

Did you pee your pants again today?

Did you go to the restroom okay?

Yes.

You didn't cry, either?

No.

Gosh, you're so good. Why did you cause trouble all this time?

I'm sorry, Grandma.

Let's do this.

Let's get your favorite fried chicken tonight.

Wow!

Aigoo. Wait for me.

Aigoo.

Are we really eating fried chicken?

Of course.

Thank you.

Thank you for your thoughtful judgment.

Please...

give her time to finish her snack.

You are truly a great judge.

What's this?

Is it leaking again?

Cheong Ha... Cheong...

[Your Honor]

♫ Sink deep below to the bottom ♫

His old mother and a young daughter were killed.

You don't know what he'd do if he found out his house burnt down.

I can't just let this one slide.

Is Lee Sang Taek the culprit who killed my son and ran?

I assume so.

I'll find the culprit who killed Sang Hyeon.

The father who lost his child will go to the edge of hell.

I'll punish him accordingly.

What Kim Gang Heon is after isn't revenge.

It's a bait.
