ALL NAMES, ORGANIZATIONS, CASES

AND INCIDENTS IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTIOUS

COUR

Kang Sol.

You're not curious.

You're not curious at all.

Was her name Kang Sol?

-Kang Dan's twin sister.

-Subrogation rights.

A KNOU graduate who served time in juvie.

How did she manage to get into Hankuk Law?

She's really getting on my nerves.

She got in through the special screening

for low-income applicants.

Don't worry, sir.

It's not like she can do anything.

Oh, right. Yang Jong-hoon

was the prosecutor who sent her to juvie.

He was told to send her to jail,

but he ignored it.

Yang Jong-hoon, that moron.

How dare he try to bait me?

He's baiting you?

You must lock him up.

You'll lose that moron

if you let your guard down.

I won't let that happen.

I have a secret weapon ready,

so he won't be able to get out of it.

That's what I like to hear.

Defendant.

You stated you were in your office

at the presumed time of his death,

between 14:25 and 14:55, correct?

Yes. You're right.

JUDGE

I was in my office.

You should've come early.

It got very interesting.

Any other questions for the witness?

I do have one more question.

Did you mention the possibility of this

being a suicide?

Yes, I asked if that possibility

was completely ruled out.

Why?

When I saw Professor Seo, he was already

under the influence of the drug.

My head…

I feel like it's splitting in half.

VOICE MEMO 004

SAVE

YU SEUNG-JAE

YU SEUNG-JAE

Had it been a m*rder,

he would've mentioned the k*ller's name.

That's right.

And with that handwritten note…

LET ME LEAVE THIS HELL

Your Honor.

When the detective who found the note

suspected suicide,

the defendant firmly told him

it was not the case.

-Am I wrong?

-That was--

You're right.

I did say it wasn't a suicide case.

And I still stand behind that.

He mistook the witness

for Han Joon-hwi, his nephew,

which means he was in no condition

to explain his situation.

That is a good point.

Darn it.

No further questions.

Defendant, do you realize

that statement could be used against you?

Yes.

I can't turn a m*rder into a suicide

just to get out of this.

Okay.

Witness, thank you.

JUDGE

But you see, if I k*lled him…

I'd be happy if the detectives thought

it was a suicide.

Why would I want to say

that it wasn't a suicide?

-What?

-Good point.

-That's true.

-My gosh.

Is he really the k*ller?

I'm not sure.

People are beginning to doubt it,

and reasonably so.

"An obligee may exercise the rights

belonging to the obligor."

The Civil Code, Article…

Article… 404. Article 404.

In order to exercise the rights--

-Hello.

-Oh, hello.

-What brings you here?

-My case is going to trial.

Suspension of indictment is like pleading

guilty. So I'll prove my innocence.

If it's because of what I said…

No, you were right.

No, it wasn't my place to say that.

Professor Kim Eun-suk agrees.

What was his name? Mr. Han Joon-hwi?

He helped me a lot.

I see.

Everyone knew but me?

I wanted to tell you but was worried

it'd distract you from studying.

Because of me,

you were even told to repeat the year.

No. I won't fail and retake it

just because I was told to.

Ace the exam, for my sake.

Yes, I should.

I can do it.

I should do my very best.

Where was I?

I'm the one who wrote the opinion,

and I even had a nosebleed because of it.

I can't believe Joon-hwi didn't tell me.

I should just blame my bad grades.

It's all my fault.

You can't sleep if you drink coffee now.

You must be exhausted. You should rest up.

It's evidence.

Witness.

Are you aware

that the defendant told the police

you're probably the one

who k*lled the victim?

Yes.

I'm an evil criminal, you know.

He probably thought it'd be perfect

to just dump it all on me.

Why did you go to Hankuk Law School

on the day of the incident?

I was Mr. Seo Byung-ju's personal driver

at the time.

I always drove him to the school

when he had a lecture.

That day,

I left as soon as I parked the car.

So you weren't on campus

at the time of the incident?

-No, I definitely was not.

-How can we trust you?

How do we trust the words

of an evil criminal?

WITNESS

-What's he doing?

-You can trust this ankle monitor.

I see. Because of this,

we can track your every move.

SEOUL CENTRAL DISTRICT COUR

We have checked and verified

that you were near Mr. Seo's law office

between 14:20 and 14:55,

the estimated time of death.

Thank goodness I had this on.

Your Honor.

That day, the defendant

was also wearing an ankle monitor

to experience what it's like.

JUDGE

Why couldn't we retrace his steps?

He claims that,

by pure coincidence…

DEFENSE COUNSEL, ACCUSED

…it was out of battery.

Dead battery means it's not trackable.

-Does the monitoring center let it happen?

-No, never.

The Ministry of Justice isn't a joke.

That's because he's not a criminal.

He did it just to experience it.

Is that so?

I'm actually wearing one now.

So I know they strictly abide

by the protocols.

DEFENSE COUNSEL, ACCUSED

At the moment,

the battery is at around 25 percent.

And the monitoring center…

MONITORING CENTER

…is calling.

LEE MAN-h*'S ROUTES

If you don't answer…

JUDGE

MONITORING CENTER

MONITORING CENTER

…they keep calling until you pick up.

May I answer this call?

They'll send a probation officer

if I don't pick up.

JUDGE

Sure, go ahead.

Hello?

Yes, I'll charge it right away.

DEFENSE COUNSEL, ACCUSED

Why did he ignore this call

and decide not to charge it right away?

It was because

you didn't want your location

to be tracked.

Because it'd prove

that you were at the scene

at the time of the incident,

not in your office.

It didn't look like

Prosecutor Jin felt guilty at all.

So what if he feels guilty at this point?

But still, he leaked it out,

not Seo Byung-ju.

I told you to be quiet!

It didn't look like

Prosecutor Jin felt guilty at all.

How did you find out?

Kim Hyeon-jae and Choi Jung-hyeok

were the first reporters to cover the case

and Prof. Yang's charges, in depth.

CHOI JUNG-HYEOK

They wrote the articles based on the info

leaked by Prosecutor Jin.

And they covered your father's case

before any other reporters did.

-It could be a coincidence--

-Naturally, it seems fishy.

I need to look into this.

Statute of limitations, five years.

It'll expire soon.

You must be very careful if you want

to get Prosecutor Jin indicted.

This was recorded in secret,

which means it was unlawfully obtained.

What have I been doing all this time?

You were barking up the wrong tree.

But it helped me discover this.

Counsel,

you may cross-examine the witness.

DEFENSE COUNSEL, ACCUSED

No questions, Your Honor.

Witness, you may return to your seat.

If there are no further questions,

we will wrap up here.

Your Honor.

I'd like to bring in another witness.

-Who is it?

-I found an eyewitness

who saw the defendant k*ll Seo Byung-ju.

-What?

-Seriously?

I'd like to keep the witness' identity

confidential until the next trial.

This is unacceptable.

Who is this witness?

You can't spring it on us like this.

The witness is terrified

that the defendant

would retaliate if any info

were to be revealed in advance.

The witness

couldn't come forward sooner

for fear of ending up like the victim--

If the info is kept confidential,

what about Mr. Yang's right of defense?

Well, the right should be guaranteed.

So, on the condition that

the defendant won't try to contact

the witness under any circumstances,

-please disclose--

-Then I'll probably contact the witness,

so let him have his way.

-What?

-Professor Yang!

-What?

-Why did he say that?

SEOUL CENTRAL DISTRICT COUR

There he is.

Who is this new witness?

Why come forward now?

Will this witness be the smoking g*n?

I must protect the witness,

so I can't say anything now.

See you at the next trial.

-Mr. Jin!

-Just a comment!

-Tell us.

-Just a comment, please

Say a few words as a prosecutor.

-Prosecutor.

-Tell us.

Please, just a comment.

Say a few words.

Wait, Mr. Jin.

Gosh.

He said this new witness

saw you m*rder the victim.

This will be the smoking g*n.

Once he brings in this witness,

it's game over.

How could you say that to the judge?

How can we not know about the witness?

It is ridiculous, isn't it?

I agree that your client

is a total nutcase.

I have to say, this must be tough for you.

How are we going to prepare

for the cross-examination?

He means you don't need to prepare for it.

What do you mean?

He said this person witnessed the m*rder.

That'd only matter

if Prof. Yang m*rder*d the victim.

He's bringing in a false witness?

Right, he must be pissed off.

Prof. Yang publicly humiliated him

that he'd be

the first prosecutor to be indicted

for publicizing an alleged crime.

Why did you have to provoke

the prosecutor?

Who did he bribe?

DEFENSE COUNSEL, ACCUSED

There you are.

Spare us a moment.

-Why should I?

-He wants to talk to you.

They seem busy, so keep it brief.

I'm sure you know who my father is.

I'm going to sue Prosecutor Jin Hyeong-u

for publicizing an alleged crime.

Thanks to you, I discovered

that I had been barking up the wrong tree.

Is this real?

The son of TOYGOODTOY's CEO is

-Yang's student?

-What's this?

-You recorded this?

-I got chills.

He thinks Seo Byung-ju disclosed

his dad's accusation.

So, that's why his nephew came to see me.

I hope he didn't do this

to get his father's revenge.

Be quiet. Man, I can't believe this mess.

It didn't look like

Prosecutor Jin felt guilty at all.

So what if he feels guilty at this point?

But, still, he leaked it out,

not Seo Byung-ju.

I told you to be quiet!

You recorded this secretly?

I wanted him to know that my uncle

wasn't the one who leaked the info.

Who knew it was Prosecutor Jin?

I told you to keep your mouth shut.

-The cat's out of the bag.

-Once he's indicted,

I'd like you to be my witnesses.

What?

Even if Jin actually leaked all the info,

he won't be indicted.

Even your professor couldn't do it.

We can do better. We, as his students,

ought to make it happen.

I'll make it happen.

With this recording?

Are you guys really law students?

Secret recordings of others are considered

unlawful evidence.

They're inadmissible in court.

I know.

I should've partaken in this conversation.

Then you wouldn't have had

to come out in the open with this.

I recorded my conversation

with the two of you this time,

so it's no longer considered unlawful.

PROSECUTION

This courtroom of all places.

JUDGE

JUDGE

Prosecution.

JUDGE

Arraign the accused.

He's innocent.

DEFENSE COUNSEL, ACCUSED

Did you just say

the defendant is innocent?

Then why did you indict him

in the first place?

Had I refused to do it, they would have

replaced me with another prosecutor.

DEFENSE COUNSEL

The defendant did not embezzle

the company fund.

Some higher-ups in the prosecution

has the CEO's back.

He followed the CEO's orders

and took the fall.

Therefore, the defendant is not guilty.

DEFENSE COUNSEL, ACCUSED

You became famous after that trial.

PROSECUTION

I didn't want you to quit.

I hoped you'd never leave

the Prosecutors' Office.

You left before I did.

That's true.

Gosh, I thought I had no regrets.

But it feels weird to be sitting here now.

What will you do now?

You couldn't prove your alibi,

and there's a new witness now.

I'll look for a witness.

A real witness

who can help me prove my alibi.

You didn't have to come.

What would the doctor think?

I spoke with the school.

You'll take Prof. Moon's

Constitutional Law course.

What?

-The semester is almost over.

-Okay.

What are you talking about?

Why would you switch courses now?

It's better than not being able

to use my laptop in class.

Don't even bring it up.

Aren't you sick of it?

Seung-jae, you went to the trial too?

-Yeah.

-Why?

If you switch to that class,

everyone will find out

-that you're my daughter.

-I have to go.

Prof. Moon's exam questions

are from his books that are out of print.

Then get me those books

as soon as you can.

Okay, I'll search the entire country

if I have to.

KANG SOL B

Give me some time.

I'm not sure whether I should tell you,

-or--

-I'll give you some time.

But don't tell anyone else

before you answer my question.

That ring…

Are you going to keep wearing it?

Here's your coffee.

This and Kang Sol B's laptop were switched

in the cart because

they're the same model?

Then who put your laptop in there?

The person who took my laptop, obviously.

The TA said Kang Sol B's

was returned to her.

It's this guy here.

-But I have no idea who it is.

-Yeah, it's hard to tell.

With the cap and the mask,

all I can see is that it's a guy.

Oh, hold on.

I think I know who this is.

What did you just say?

What do you mean I'm the witness

the prosecutor mentioned?

You're the witness.

You couldn't tell the police

when they interviewed you.

That day, you saw that prick

slip something into Seo's coffee.

It was meth, not sugar.

What's with you?

I'm telling you that you saw it.

You're insane.

You're insane!

You're insane.

You've completely lost your mind!

And the spy camera too.

Why are you doing this to me?

What do you mean?

You're hurting my feelings here.

Yeong-chang.

We'll get married soon.

I set up the camera in your room

to keep you safe

because I love you.

You think that's love?

Of course.

Let's get married next year.

As soon as I get into law school.

But to do that, we must make Yang

pay for what he did.

-Didn't you see him mess with my dad?

-Don't let a personal grudge--

That b*stard k*lled Seo

because of a personal grudge.

But he hasn't been convicted yet.

Presumption of innocence?

You're a law student after all.

Out of the people that left shoeprints

at the scene,

who else could be the culprit, then?

Ye-seul.

Why don't you get it?

It's not like I'm trying to frame

an innocent man.

That sly m*rder*r is trying to get away

with a m*rder using his legal knowledge.

Let's teach him a lesson.

What?

What are you saying?

-A recording?

-You took it off already?

I'll call you back.

You know why I quit being a prosecutor.

Want to know why I became a law professor?

To make sure there are

no more scumbag prosecutors like you.

Remember that.

To win back your position

and teach again--

I must clear my name,

so I'll have no more of your antics.

Do you think you'll get your way?

We shall see.

Hey, Ye-seul.

Hey! What's wrong? Are you all right?

MY HUBBY

That was a great cross-examination.

You were awesome.

Really?

I'm pretty awesome.

You believe

that Professor Yang

didn't k*ll him, right?

No.

I don't believe anyone.

I've been burned by someone

who had my absolute trust,

and it broke me, you know.

It still hurts.

Then on the witness stand, why did you--

I just told the truth, that's all.

I can't commit perjury

when I want to work in law.

Does it mean there's a possibility

that he actually k*lled him?

It can't be completely ruled out,

if the new witness is telling the truth.

You keep this.

Don't forget

this long night we had.

You knew it was Prosecutor Jin?

Unfortunately, what you sent to Ji-h*

is unlawfully obtained evidence.

Which is why Ji-h* recorded this himself.

You want Ji-h*

to sue Prosecutor Jin, don't you?

You were right.

One of my uncle's belongings is missing.

His glucometer.

They returned everything else but that.

It must be his next card

after the fake witness.

The president would like you

to apologize to Assemblyman Ko.

Me?

You humiliated him

in front of the students.

I just wanted to check.

It wasn't the right place for it.

The students were forced to be there.

-So you won't apologize?

-I suppose he won't sue me?

Sue you?

I'm hoping Assemblyman Ko

will sue me for defamation.

I take it that you want to call

the election law violation

into question again.

Yes.

I told the president

that we'd be violating

freedom of conscience

if we forced you to apologize.

I'm sorry.

For putting you through all this.

If you want to apologize to me,

just make sure you get acquitted.

The president

will fire you

the moment you get a guilty verdict.

You know that, right?

Seriously?

You won't attend his trials?

You, for real?

NOT EVEN CURIOUS

I'm sure you're curious.

It was like Pandora's box.

NOT EVEN CURIOUS

I got another warning from the vice dean.

He said I'd even have to return

the scholarship money.

Mr. Sung.

For Constitutional Law,

I just need to study my lecture notes now.

But as for Prof. Kim's Civil Code course,

I'm missing the notes

on subrogation rights,

the most difficult part.

I bet someone

already photocopied the notes.

Tell me who it is.

That person asked me not to tell anyone.

Don't be curious.

Can't you help me out for once?

Speak of the devil.

What?

-I don't want to talk to you.

-Why not?

"Why not"?

Forget it.

Hey, I'm asking you. What's wrong?

I feel so betrayed.

I heard you knew about Bad FaMa's lawsuit.

I was trying to be considerate.

If you knew, you'd be all distracted

because you're so nosy.

Still, I can't believe

everyone knew but me.

I really wanted to see her clear her name.

-I know.

-You know?

I felt like an idiot when I ran into her

at the court.

She was worried about my exam--

Ace it so you won't have to retake--

Obviously, I don't want that.

I want to ace the exam too.

-I really do.

-Then just--

Just do it? Don't you dare.

The smartest kids in the country

go to this school.

No matter how hard I study,

I just can't do it.

Those who give me false hope that I can…

Forget it.

I'm so desperate I wish

I was the vice dean's daughter.

Kang Sol.

That's my name, Kang Sol "A."

I was hoping that "A" would bring me luck

and help me get an A.

Like a lucky charm.

That's why I wanted to be Kang Sol "A."

Do you know what I was thinking?

I even thought it'd be nice

to steal the exam papers.

You passed the second-round judicial exam,

so you'd never understand.

So? You don't need my help?

This must be heavy.

I do need your help. Put it on my back.

Let's go, Mr. Genius.

Article 18 and 19 go together.

These are important.

The amount to be refunded…

Make sure you go over the third precedent.

-The third one.

-Okay.

This case is…

Gosh…

Provide an explanation…

Come in.

Hi, I'm writing exam questions now.

Hold on.

SLEEP, SHUT DOWN, RESTAR

All done.

What's with that jealous stare?

I am jealous.

Of course you are.

You wrote exam questions

even while being detained.

I really want to write the questions

for the exams next year.

Will I be able to?

DOCUMENTS

EXAM QUESTIONS

How did you know from Ye-seul's sunglasses

that she was in an a*usive relationship?

The kids don't want to get called on,

so they try not to be noticed.

Who'd wear such huge sunglasses

just because of a sty?

Her boyfriend, Ko Yeong-chang,

is Assemblyman Ko's only child.

I heard he had set up a spy camera

in her room.

It's just my hunch.

Love you.

We can go to school together next year.

If he's using her to get back at you

for what you did to his dad…

OKAY

When it comes to relationships,

you never know what could happen.

LAW SCHOOL ENVIRONMENTAL LAW

If Ye-seul can't break it off with him,

you may not be able

to write the exams next year.

It'd be risky to provoke Ko Yeong-chang

without solid evidence.

Your future depends on this.

You can't just rely

on Ye-seul's conscience.

Why don't you talk to her?

And threaten her not to lie?

Right, she's under a lot of stress

because of her boyfriend's threats.

Assemblyman Ko has a lot to lose.

Why don't you mention it to him?

He won't even take my bait.

Right, that's true.

You know

that finding a witness

who can prove my alibi is the only way.

All right.

According to the director there,

she was the only person

my son confided in.

I heard they stayed in touch.

She was the reason

I moved to this neighborhood.

Has she really gone missing?

I haven't seen her at all.

Of course, she's in the US now.

I'm looking for her as well.

I did manage to get hold of her.

I heard you were looking for me.

Kang Dan?

Who is this?

Text me your number.

-But that number--

-If you want it, let's make a deal.

You hate Prosecutor Jin.

-Who put you up to--

-No one! I told you.

I'd never cut such a deal with anyone

Okay? What happened was,

those two reporters kept nagging me

to do an interview--

"They had no choice but to pass

I'd never agree to be interviewed

Yes, I'm fine.

Hey!

I'm okay.

-You should go see a doctor.

-No.

I have to take this exam.

You're not well enough.

I'm fine.

I can do this.

-I have to…

-Sol.

LEGAL COUNSELING

Gosh, how inconsiderate.

She has no shame.

I would've preferred not to know.

Why switch to our class now?

Our grades will drop even more

because of her.

We wouldn't be worried about that at all

if it was actually Kang Sol A.

Sol's smarter than you.

It's always stupid losers

who bad-mouth others.

-Hey!

-Hey.

Study hard

so you won't have to worry about it.

Geez.

-Seung-jae.

-Hey, you woke up.

Did I not finish my exam?

You did.

You fainted after you finished it.

Gosh, thank God.

I'm sure you aced it.

What can I do

to write such perfect answers?

It's as if you can read

the professors' minds.

You're dehydrated from too much caffeine.

You pushed yourself too hard.

You've been doing other things

on top of studying so hard.

The client wants a jury trial,

like you suggested.

REPLY TO YOUR LEGAL INQUIRY

You practically wrote an essay

explaining why you think

a jury trial would be better.

-This must've taken hours.

-Seung-jae.

Don't I need to get some rest now?

Sol! Are you all right?

You're not dying, right?

I knew one of us would fall ill

because of these exams.

Why did you come here?

It's not even a big deal.

I'm fine.

Hey, let's go.

Since you want a jury trial,

it will be reassigned

to a panel-judge court

from the single-judge court.

Okay, let me know.

Is this Professor Kim's paper

on subrogation rights?

My gosh!

This is the info I was looking for.

Her final exam from last year

was based on this.

Yeah, it mentions one of the cases

she covered in class.

She'll probably tweak this a little

for the exam.

Yeah, totally.

Sol, you rock.

-You don't just take good notes.

-That's right.

By the way, you really don't want to know

who the witness is?

There was nothing to "witness"

because Prof. Yang didn't k*ll him.

So, there's no witness.

So they're bringing in a false witness?

But if someone witnessed it,

it must've been near the mock court

or the media room.

If it was the media room,

one of the professors…

No.

The witness…

It's me.

Is it really you? You saw it?

-Yes.

-It makes no sense.

How could you be the witness?

If she saw it, that makes her a witness.

She says she saw it.

It's your problem

that you trust Prof. Yang too much

to believe her.

What?

I think he's capable of saying

he put sugar in Prof. Seo's coffee

when he actually slipped a drug in it.

MY HUBBY

Hey, babe.

Hankuk Law professor Yang Jong-hoon's

third trial will begin shortly.

With the new witness

who claims to have seen him in the act,

many expect that

the trial may take a new turn.

You can do it, okay?

Just say what we practiced.

COMPLAIN

PLAINTIFF SEO JI-h*

I'll make sure

he gets a guilty verdict

and pays for all the damage.

SEO GI-YEOL

I'll show you

how capable your son is, Dad.

Dad, I will…

make you regret

not being here to see it.

If you do a good job today,

you no longer need to feel bad

about getting into Hankuk Law.

We meet again.

It's nerve-racking

to be on the witness stand.

Good luck.

Don't worry.

Today, the whole world will see

who k*lled your uncle.

I'm going to the restroom.

Does this guy know

-you ripped up the pledge?

-Of course.

That's why I gave it to her.

We have to stop her

before the trial begins.

If Prof. Yang can't stop Ye-seul,

you should…

She made this choice,

and he wants to respect her choice.

Knowing that

she's about to commit perjury?

I understand you're worried about him

because of Ye-seul.

No, it's not that.

I never suspected Prof. Yang,

but now that Ye-seul is saying

she saw him do it,

I'm thinking maybe it's true.

It feels awful to see myself

beginning to suspect him.

PROFESSOR YANG JONG-HOON'S THIRD TRIAL

Witness.

I'm too nervous right now.

WITNESS

May I take some calming pills?

JUDGE

Yes, you may.

What are you doing?

ACCUSED

Eye contact with me will make her

uncomfortable. Please understand.

Witness, did you see the defendant

slip a drug

into the victim's coffee? It wasn't sugar?

Correct.

SEOUL CENTRAL DISTRICT COUR

-Gosh.

-See? I told you.

How could he do that?

The defendant's life depends on this.

Are you sure

it wasn't this?

It was this?

Yes.

-My gosh.

-Seriously?

WITNESS

Why didn't you come forward sooner?

"Why didn't you come forward sooner?"

If he asks you that…

I couldn't.

That's it.

Why not?

-That's…

-Before you answer,

glance over at Yang Jong-hoon again.

With fearful eyes.

Then the prosecutor will say,

"You took the oath."

Just state the truth.

Professor Yang said,

"You didn't see anything.

Take it to the grave, or…"

Or what?

He said he'd make me suffer.

-What?

-My gosh.

-Seriously?

-I can't believe this.

How could he say that?

"He said he'd make me suffer."

You have to look like you're about to cry.

Good. Yes, that's perfect.

That's it.

You don't need to actually cry.

No further questions.

Counsel,

you may cross-examine the witness.

SEOUL CENTRAL DISTRICT COUR

Witness.

Please calm down.

Hold on. Don't ask me anything.

-Please.

-What?

Gosh.

I can't do this.

You little…

I can't do this as someone

who's studying law.

I really can't do this

because I want to work in law.

Witness.

I'm sorry, Your Honor.

I wasn't in my right mind.

-Hey!

-Order!

What's going on?

Witness.

Are you saying you lied?

Yes.

Witness.

You're changing your word

as you fear the defendant would retaliate.

Right?

What I feared

was the video from the spy camera.

Do as I say.

He threatened me

he'd disseminate our sex video.

DO AS I SAY

It terrified me.

-Damn it.

-My gosh.

SEOUL CENTRAL DISTRICT COUR

I don't know whether Prof. Yang

put a drug or sugar in the coffee

because I never saw it.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

SEOUL CENTRAL DISTRICT COUR

I'm sorry.

-Jeez.

-Unbelievable.

I'm sorry.

Damn it.

sh*t!

There he is!

-Excuse me!

-Wait!

Excuse me! Just a moment!

-Wait!

-Just a moment!

-No! He's leaving!

-Wait, just a second!

-Wait!

-Just a moment!

-Is it all true?

-Wait!

Excuse me!

-Hey!

-Hold on.

Follow him.

Wait!

Ye-seul.

Ye-seul, are you here?

Sol.

What do I do now?

LAW SCHOOL, AUDITORIUM

Don't think about anything. Just sleep.

I'll sleep here, so think I'm not here.

It's okay, Sol.

I'll get my blanket.

Oh, turn off your phone.

RESTROOM

I suppose you're keenly interested

in my trial.

Yes, especially…

today's trial, I must say.

Can I say something too?

If my student has to wear sunglasses

in my class again because of you,

you'll end up having to wear sunglasses

for the rest of your life.

CRIMINAL CODE

PRECEDENTS

MY HUBBY

Yes, I'll sleep beside her tonight.

I'll call you if anything happens.

On your knees.

Are you deaf? I said, on your knees.

Don't do this.

"Don't do this"?

Fine.

Then tell me.

Who told you to do that?

Me.

You?

-You arrogant--

-That's not why.

You little…

That is why.

Otherwise, you can't stab me

in the back like this.

I'll pull out the knife

you thrusted into my back

and stab your arrogant heart with it.

No.

Yeong-chang, no! Please!

-Don't do this. Please.

-Let go!

No, I can do this.

Ye-seul.

People will forget what I did.

Actually, I'll become a hero.

For disseminating a sex video

featuring a hottie like you.

You're studying law, so I'm sure you know.

A fine, at the most?

Probation?

Poor you.

You, on the other hand…

Your life will be destroyed.

The video will go viral

if I say it features a Hankuk Law student.

I know I'm the perpetrator in the case,

but you're the one who's screwed.

GALLERY

How…

How can you do this if you love me?

You're the one

who betrayed my love.

CONTACTS

Does your father know about this?

What?

You shouldn't do this

for your father's sake.

My gosh, you dared to bring up my dad?

Ye-seul, how dare you?

You've become awfully arrogant

since getting into Hankuk Law.

You need a lesson.

Let go.

Damn it.

Yeong-chang. Hey.

Yeong-chang.

Yeong-chang, no…

SOL A

Professor Yang.

Subtitle translation by: Liya Choi

Something happened to Ye-seul.

-Son…

-Ms. Jeon, let me take you to the station.

If she gets interrogated,

there'll be a lot of damage to you too.

I know it's tough, but you have

to look straight at your situation.

Are you saying he may never wake up?

Why didn't you bring him in as a witness?

Prof. Yang seems to be so disadvantaged.

I want to believe the blank paper

you handed in means your courage.

He knows that.

As he didn't appear in this courtroom,

it is dismissed.

-I bet something happened to him.

-I think Seung-jae…

Isn't this Yu Seung-jae's phone?

Riverside?
