Are you the judge?

Dain?

Thank you.

No problem. I'm sorry.

-I didn't do anything for you. -Not at all.

I know that you did your best.

Last time and this time, too.

Don't blame yourself or regret it.

They never do that so why should we? Because of them?

Dain.

They never blame themselves or regret it.

What should I do to have a fight with them...

but without becoming one of them.

Hey, congratulations.

Judge Han.

It's all thanks to you.

The High Court will take a special look at the opinion from chamber 44.

There will be a lot of lessons, too. It's very different from other chambers.

Look--

We could always use good coaching.

Judge Park.

-Don't get upset easily. -But...

When you do, you lose.

I'm a man, you know!

Man?

This is the last pride for a man.

Damn pride.

Then, do it better!

You said you did it well in the army.

I did it better at a standing or lying posture.

Then practice until you can do it.

I'm no longer a male.

Oh Mom...

To the next one!

She tore his clothes without hesitation.

Her hands were reaching one of his...

Disgusting.

Crazy women.

Grandma.

Yes.

I realized there are many bad guys when I became a judge.

Did you?

They never reflect on themselves or step back.

There are so many, so I'm not sure what to do.

I can't kill them all.

I'm just saying.

Oreum.

Do you know what the dirtiest thing is?

And the clearest thing?

I've been living for more than 80 years now.

The ugliest thing and the prettiest thing.

The evilest thing and the best thing.

The cruelest thing.

The most sympathetic thing.

All of them are people.

You know, people are born in this world

to learn just one thing, how to be patient, I guess.

So, Oreum.

Don't give up on it easily.

Can you imagine why I had to file the suit?

But you're asking to compensate the damage against a good pastor.

Yes, I know how good he is.

I can't stand it any more because of that boy.

So, he sneaked into a junkyard every night and stole things.

He stole the valuable copper lines, so the damage is severe.

He's sitting there with an innocent face, but he's a real pain in the ass.

I'm sorry, sir. I'll make it sure that he won't do...

I don't buy it. How many times have you said that?

Please stop.

Hey, are you Lee Gaon?

Gaon.

He took care of you. Don't you feel sorry for him?

See? He's even ignoring you.

Every shop owner in my neighborhood got some damage from him.

The Associate Judge suggested you have a period of mediation.

Please think about a solution that will work out for both of you.

It seemed he's not an easy kid. Do you think the mediation will work?

But he's still young.

Don't overlook him. His record is pretty impressive.

Okay.

It is impressive, indeed.

Violation of the hazardous chemical management and theft.

-You mean the glue? -Yes.

He got investigated several times for it. He's being on probation now.

The theft had probably something to do with the glue.

He did it after sniffing glue or he tried to get some money for it.

Maybe.

But he's still young.

Don't fall for the innocent look.

Even adults get afraid of people in court.

He was just sitting there and avoided it when things looked like unfavorable.

He could be a sly quibbler playing a good kid.

I'll face it, anyway.

Hey, kid. Put down the cell phone.

I can't stand it. Hey, you!

You should listen to a senior.

Hey.

I'm sorry, Judge.

I was just...

He's always like that

and there are three more bad kids like him.

I'm sorry but my kids go to school and do delivery work.

Pastor, I feel so sorry about you.

Do you know what they say about you?

-You are raising the cat burglars-- -Excuse me.

Please watch out your mouth.

I'm sorry.

Lee Gaon.

Did you apologize to him?

He's having a hard life.

He works from early in the morning till late at night. You know it?

Thank you, Judge, but don't expect anything from him.

I don't expect any compensation from this lawsuit.

I know how the pastor lives.

Then why...

He should choose one.

He kicks out the kid or he leaves the neighborhood.

Sir, where can we go?

He's beyond correction.

He should go to a juvenile reformatory or jail.

Give me your hands.

Are you addicted to the game? You are indeed beyond correction.

Pastor...

it's hard, isn't it?

Judge, I don't think I deserve to be a pastor.

Please, don't say it.

You're taking care of homeless kids. That's not something everyone can do.

I favored him.

He was good and smart.

I've been watching an angel boy transforming to worst for years.

I can't do it any more.

Was he like an angel?

He sang in the church choir.

He was good at studying. His IQ was more than 140.

He's smart.

Now, it is probably less than 100.

Glue is the cheapest drug.

It destroys your brain and optic nerves.

When it gets worse, it will be hard to talk or to see at night.

I didn't know it was that bad.

One of the kids sniffed glue and drove the motorcycle...

Where can I see those kids?

Please, tell me.

Both of us have nothing much in the fucking brain.

But once it's crashed, it's over.

Take it.

Hey, take it easy.

Nobody will steal it.

Have some drink, too.

Hey, where do you get the glue?

You can buy it at the convenience store.

-It's illegal to sell to minors. -Who cares?

How much is it?

!,500 won for each.

That cheap?

It gets you high for a whole day.

Where have you been?

The important thing is

that you can buy an industrial glue at a cheap price easily.

I know, but...

If it's so cheap, why do they keep filching?

I don't know.

They might be trying to have money for some entertainment.

They might be ripping off.

Alright, let's go.

-What? -I know the face. I can't stop you.

Do you see that?

It's too obvious.

Is it?

The church is on the outskirts.

It will take us pretty long to get there.

-Hi. -Hi.

-Hi. -Hi.

Hey, kids.

-Hi. -Hi.

They are judges.

You know...

Hi.

-Help yourself, kids. -Enjoy.

Say "thank you, Judge" and dig in.

Thank you, judge.

Here.

They are really bright.

It's difficult to meet them. If you have any question, ask them.

Yes, ask anything.

What you should study to be a judge. Anything.

You know...

What if they send gangsters

when you don't pay off a debt from a private loan?

Hey.

A taxi driver had an accident.

How long does he have to be in a jail if he can't pay for it?

If you go to a jail when you go bankrupt...

do you have to be there until you pay off all the debt?

Is it warm in a jail in the winter?

Hi.

Hi.

Who are you?

Who are you?

Who are you?

Hi.

Wow, he's amazing.

He could work in a circus.

When did he learn it?

There!

I don't have it.

In your pocket!

-It's not here, look. -No, it's in the pocket.

See? I have nothing here.

What's wrong?

His suite probably reminds her of her father.

-Did he pass away? -Worse.

He's alcoholic.

He did the evil thing to her.

What?

I guess she still misses him.

We're here.

Hi.

You are not here to arrest us?

I'm not a detective.

Why would I come to arrest you?

Don't you feel sorry for the pastor and the little girls?

You know, we really want to quit.

It's not easy?

Let's eat first.

Thank you. Now let's eat.

Hey, why did you run away from home?

Me?

My dad.

Did he hit you?

Then what?

I'm fine with it. But I wanted some designated spots.

He just hit me everywhere.

To get hurt is fine. But it's more about I felt like a beast.

Here, have warm soup, first.

Sorry.

For what?

I did this to you earlier.

It's not a thing.

What a man!

Is he always quiet like this?

Yes.

What was his reason?

He didn't run away.

Mom.

Mom?

Mom!

Mom.

Thank you. We'll visit again.

Thank you.

Bye, kids.

-Bye. -Bye.

Why is the world messed up like this?

But, you can't give up on it.

Let's do whatever we can.

Sure, whatever.

Hang on.

What?

-Can you do the face one more time? -What are you talking about?

Not the face with a judge mask.

What the heck?

Not the snobby face.

You want a piece of me?

I mean, the face when you were looking at little girls.

Well...

This?

It's not even close.

Then...

What is it?

Huh?

Nothing. Let's go. Come on.

What is it?

"LET'S SAVE CHILDREN"

Hey. What do you want?

You have a fit body so everything goes well with you.

That's true, but where can I be with this?

The street.

What?

"SAVE YOUTHS FROM GLUE"

What?

Hi.

Can I have a glue?

-It's cheaper in a box. -Then give me a box.

You! Do you want a rotten brain?

No, I don't.

"GLUE"

If you ever come here to buy this again.

I'll kill you.

I'm sorry.

Hey lady, what are you doing?

-Sir! -What?

Do you know what you're doing to the kids?

Do you know?

I'll sue you for the restraint of trade. Are you threatening me?

Do you think I wouldn't?

Will you?

Why are you doing this to the kids? Tell me.

I think I did wrong.

Yes, I did wrong.

-Make sure to read it. -Yes.

Is it really necessary?

Don't you know the problem solving court? You need to solve the fundamental problem.

But doing this much--

Lunch time is short. There are many places to cover.

Hey, Judge Park.

Let's go.

"BLACK LEAF IN THE MOUTH"

It's out of fashion and not my style.

I'll give it a try if it's fifty-fifty.

Try what?

Nothing.

None of your business.

-Judge Park. -Yes, sir.

Haven't you tasted enough bitter experience yet here?

-What the hell is this? -Sir!

Yes?

How bitter do they get here?

Because I've had enough.

How much more do I need to taste it?

Don't get upset easily. I told you.

Hey, Judge Lim!

What did you do as an associate?

I promised something.

Promised what?

I would help her...

so she could make a mistake.

Jeez.

"THE JUDGES ON THE STREET"

It seems that you decided to be out there.

If you want to go out, you might want to hurry.

I see. There is no public nomination for you.

-Sir... -I understand.

Am I not pretty enough?

I don't think so.

Aren't you going to be upset?

When you have many haters, anyway...

-And? -...you can make a bigger game.

And increase your army.

Problem solving court.

It could be a slogan that citizen might like.

I don't know.

It will help people restore their trust in our jurisdiction.

Organizations and groups can join.

Some pie gets bigger when you share it.

The violations of hazardous chemicals management haven't reduced at all.

Punishment itself doesn't solve the problem.

Yes, it's difficult to cure the addiction only with one's will.

The materials should be shut off.

You mean toluene?

Yes, there must be a standard that industrial bonds don't contain toluene.

-Then, the Ministry of TIE or-- -KATS should do it.

But it will take some time to make a new one.

In the meanwhile, kids are getting destroyed.

We will do something about it right now.

You're doing really hard and we will help you, but...

Well...

What do you mean?

Those who have been destroyed might be already beyond correction.

Probation officer.

I've given him already many chances, but he's getting worse.

He committed a theft, which means he can't be satisfied with sniffing glue.

You're saying...

The addicts go through similar phases.

To find stronger stimulation and a stronger drug.

We should save them before that. Don't say that it's too late.

If it's late or not, we need to do what we should do.

We will expedite after discussing it with the Department of Justice.

Hey. These junks don't make money.

Bring the copper lines.

Look at this jerk.

I'll give it to you when you bring the lines.

Not this piece of shit!

-It looks yummy. -I know.

-It has sausages. -And rice cake.

It's 4,500 won.

It looks really good.

But it costs 5,000 won.

I want this.

No, it's over 4,000 won. We can't buy it.

I'll buy it for you next time. Good girl!

Can we pay with the card?

-Meal card? -Yes.

Wait. After her.

Let me.

Thank you.

It's okay. You, first.

Come on.

Doesn't your pastor give you dinner?

It's the end of the month and money ran out.

He's incompetent and just picking kids.

Thank you.

No! This is for the pastor and auntie.

You kids, finish your meal and go.

Damn it.

What are you?

Hey.

What the fuck.

Yay!

We can have them? Are you sure?

Not again, this asshole.

Gaon did it again?

What's the matter?

I need to visit the church.

Judge, I'm sorry.

He came back with the irls, but he went out.

I can't reach him now.

The junkyard got stolen again?

Yes.

Did he often disappear before?

Yes, I guess it's probably after theft.

He just shows up after a couple of days.

But he has to go to the probation office today.

-What? -He was absent last time.

I got a call and he will be sent to a reformatory

if he doesn't show up today.

Let's find him.

Alright.

Hi.

Gaon?

Excuse me, a boy this tall...

Gaon?

Gaon?

Gaon?

Excuse me but...

Where are you?

Where are you?

Hey, there!

Do you know where the arcade is?

Gaon?

Gaon?

Gaon?

Gaon?

Where is he?

Gaon?

Gaon?

Gaon?

Gaon?

Gaon?

Mom.

Mom.

It's alright...

Gaon.

What do you see when you sniff glue?

Your mom?

This is my mom.

She's very sick, now.

She doesn't recognize me.

Maybe for good.

Where did you learn this? You little kid.

Show me again. I'll get it.

You gave it to me and it's mine!

Please, officer. Give him one more chance.

He's not addicted to glue.

It's about loneliness.

He needs a family not a a reformatory.

That's what happened.

Yes, fortunately, the officer excused him.

But his loneliness is just as hard to treat as glue addiction.

I know.

He will do it again.

-There is a 99% chance. -But...

I promised him.

I would never give up on him...

or abandon him.

Me, the pastor...

nor the probation officer.

That face looks very familiar.

Where is it this time?

Let me find the address first.

Have you ever made a plan before something occurred?

You can just face it sometimes.

Sometimes?

You can't just show up at the factory.

To this mountain village.

Sir, are you aware that your glue contains the highest amount of toluene?

And only kids are trying to buy them?

You should blame sellers.

-We don't make them for kids. -But...

you know that a lot of sales are from them.

So what do you want me to do right now?

If I try to change the component, it takes time. The costs will be increased

-Did you say costs? -Yes.

He's very good looking.

He must be your son.

Yes, he is.

He looks very smart.

Yes, luckily, unlike me...

He's in your son's age.

Who is he?

His IQ was higher than 140 just until he started to sniff glue.

Now it's lower than 100.

Their optic nerves get destroyed and tongues get cracked and bleeding.

They lose their interest in anything and just keep sniffing glue.

They are all in your son's age.

The government is also preparing measures.

Just for a couple of months. Or just for the places with high numbers.

Can you stop supplying for a moment?

I beg you.

Please.

Please.

It works sometimes.

It's fifty-fifty. You should try it.

What now, are you going to the junkyard to ask to drop the suit?

How did you know?

What is he doing?

"My dearest,

I will never forget you for my whole life.

I know it's the kind of love that I can't expect anything from.

I, alone, will keep thinking about it.

Now, then.

Stay beautiful."

You know it's a poem by Lee Sang?

Yes, of course I know. Lee Sang.

"Fly, let's fly."

Don't you think it's too grand?

We haven't had an actual thing.

Not yet.

Do you think there will be still something?

I admit that I thought and act in an obvious way.

Also, I don't know well but I judged carelessly.

So what?

So you can let me know.

Because I don't know well.

You can let me know and give me a chance.

I know little, but I'm a good learner.

I'm ready to learn.

I figured it out that you like old poems.

Is it the dialogue from Jang Geurae in "Misaeng"?

You don't need to pinpoint it. I'm saying I feel like it.

And I mean it.

You smiled! I have a great eye sight and I saw it.

If he wasn't cute, I really...

I'm a cute guy.

He's my professor.

-What? -He's teaching literature.

The picture you made a fuss about.

Yes!

I forgot the car key.

They say I'm a "visual judge".

As you can see, I'm the judge, Jung Bowang who's in charge of "Visual".

Nice to meet you.

My friends have been doing a great job and I wasn't really...

Enough.

Minho, you really love to dance.

I don't think of anything while dancing. Even the glue.

Do you?

-Addiction can be cured by addiction. -Huh?

Nothing. Gaon, why don't you sing a song?

Try. choose one.

-Yes, sing a song. -Yes, you too.

Lee Gaon!

Lee Gaon!

Flowers that bloom and fall silently

They sing a song in their own way

When a shower of petals fell like a rain

They spread and resonate All over the world

The cold wind

They embrace the lonesomeness entirely

And bloom

Each has its own voice

And they sing a beautiful dream

When a shower of petals fell like a rain

They spread and resonate

All over the world

-You're doing amazing things. -No, I'm not.

They've never been on an airplane, right?

Yeah.

-We'll give them a chance. -What exactly do you mean?

We have an airline.

-And welfare foundation. -So?

It's supporting poor children in Cambodia.

Let's go there and give them a show.

Show? They are not that good...

It's just an expression. They'll sing a song and dance at the yard.

They will love it, anyway. Both of them.

Wow, an entrepreneur do things in a different scale.

-Free airplane, good for them! -Sure.

You make money for it, don't you?

It's awkward when you say it like that.

Is it?

But still nice. You are hungry, eat.

To go to Cambodia with the kids? Are you going along with them?

Yes, I had a lesson this time.

Not to be defeated by those who don't blame themselves or regret.

I shouldn't get upset...

or give up.

-And? -Happily.

You have to fight happily. Happy people will win eventually.

Happy... well.

How doe you cover the expenses?

The welfare foundation of NJ Group will support it.

Amazing.

It's a good thing, though. Kids are really excited.

If you wear clothes which fit you more you will be able to work better.

Especially, when the work is a kind of which will make the world better.

Yes, it's a good thing.

Then how long...

Kids will stay longer and I took two days off.

I will see you next Monday.

I'll get a gift for you.

Yes.

Hey, Judge Park.

Here.

Wait.

Obba.

It'd be a good idea for the executive director to tag along.

I can supervise how the money is spent.

But you don't have to...

Let's take the first class with me.

It's our airline. Let me treat you.

No, I can't owe you that.

Alright.

-Near the emergency exit, please. -From first class to economy?

Yes.

Thank you.

Shall we?

Thank you.

Here you go.

Here you go.

Here. It's for Gaon.

And then here. Take it. Follow me.

Let's go.

Where is the first class area? I can't even see it.

-They are being careful. -Careful?

You might own a business someday if you try hard.

But few will make it to the first class, anyway.

You'll have to help us at emergency. Will you cooperate?

Well, we'll see if you do something for us.

And the lever is to open the door at emergency.

Is it? I'm going to open it after take-off, to get a fresh air.

I feel a bit stuffy.

Sir, if you say so, you can't be seated here by regulation.

Let me find you some other seats.

-No, I'm good. -Alright.

I'm too scared to sit here. You need to serve customers like a king.

King made a joke.

And look at this shit how they treat the customer.

They should not.

They serve the meal immediately after take-off.

Passengers get quiet while they're eating.

Which one would you like? Fish or beef?

Which one is better? Which one do you like more?

Are you ignoring me? Let me.

I wouldn't eat the economy meal if I was somewhere else.

I usually take business... Yes, I'm a women who use the business!

I'm sorry, ma'am.

There's no extra fish meal because we are full today.

I was just curious how you would react.

I didn't really want to eat both.

And you're making me feel embarrassed, okay?

-I'll give you mine. -Get off me.

Here you go.

You said you don't have extra.

It's actually mine, but I haven't touched it. You can have it.

Do you think I'm a beggar?

Are you ignoring me? Let me go!

You are out of your mind.

It's horrible to have an inferiority complex.

It's just between us.

Ordinary people are good.

Rich people are psychos and evils. That's what Koreans believe.

Isn't it funny?

People are usually selfish and pathetic, regardless of being poor or rich.

But you can be more generous when you have money.

And you can do a good thing like this.

Power is a good thing.

But, Obba.

What is it?

-What's that? -What's going on?

Your captain speaking.

We found a minor defect on the engine, we're going back to Incheon.

We apologize for your inconvenience.

We came from Incheon and go back there?

How can this shit happen?

Hey, lady. What's going on? Can you do this to us?

You idiots! Get another plane in ten minutes.

We're busy people. Do you know that? If we arrive late, you will be just--

How are you going to make up for it?

Would you like something to drink while you're waiting?

There has to be water for this!

Eat.

Any update?

How much can we get compensated for this per person?

Do you need my help to calm down the people?

He's an expert in such things

Eat first.

It is "Hell Joseon", indeed.

I shouldn't think about this as an owner of a company.

I often think

that Korean customers are uncivilized compared to the global standard.

Hey, I have a question.

Why do we say "owner" even for the listed company?

-What are you talking about? -The stock your family has.

It seems to be less than 5%.

Your family is the dominant stockholder,

but your family doesn't own the company.

The plane also belongs to the company, not your family.

That's a quite simple theory. The founder should get some incentives.

Incentives...

The advertisement agency you made, after studying overseas,

It earned lots of profits and stocks by monopolizing the NJ's advertisement.

The profits from the duty free products go to your family cooperation.

What an entrepreneurship!

-Oreum. -The power you're so proud of.

Don't you think you got it in a cheap way?

Watch out your mouth.

Sorry to interrupt you but...

A chairman pays house maids, driver, and masseur with company's money.

He even pays his grocery with a company card.

Isn't it really uncivilized compared to the global standard?

Hey, Park Cha Oreum!

And it seems that you forgot.

I'm a civil servant who gets paid by the tax that the uncivilized people pay.

I need to go and discuss if there would be any disadvantage in case of flying back.

Are you eating?

Is it good?

Enjoy.

Take your time. Have it with a drink.

I'm back.

It's a chocolate. Were you expecting it?

What happened?

The plane flew back.

-What are you-- -Well.

Did someone try to hold it? Why did it happen?

Hold? Who would hold...

What's going on? Kids?

They just departed today.

I decided not to go.

Did you?

Whatever.

It seems you like it.

I don't like sweets. Give it to Mr. Lee.

-Really? -Yes.

-Are you sure? -Please!

Try. It's good.

This story was based on the true efforts

of Judge Shim and Pastor Myeong trying to solve the glue addiction problem.

You're so handsome today. You look like George Clooney!

Which clone?

Is he out of his mind? He was flirting with her.

-I'm getting embarrassed. -You like it.

Please stop it!

Drink...

What's wrong booze? Drunk people do wrong.

-What is this? -You said half is medicine.

Do I always do it? Put it away.

I hate those who cause troubles to others.

You can make some trouble...

to me.
