ALL NAMES, ORGANIZATIONS, CASES

AND INCIDENTS IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTIOUS

The entire trial process

has come to an end.

Lastly, we have

one very important final step.

It's a process called

reaching the verdict.

Yes?

DELIBERATION: JURY'S DISCUSSION

VERDICT: JURY'S FINAL DECISION

A question from Juror No. 4.

"What does it mean to have this proven

beyond a reasonable doubt?"

I'm not sure how little

of reasonable doubt we can work with.

Please explain this in a simpler way

for us to understand.

Okay, here's the thing.

If the prosecutor brought enough,

if not perfect, proof,

and it is not reasonable to suspect

that the defendant may be innocent,

you should decide on a verdict of guilty.

However, when you find her guilty,

if you cannot clearly conclude her guilt

on common sense,

it means there are reasonable doubts left

on ruling the defendant guilty

for her crime.

Which means the prosecutor's presentation

was not enough to prove her guilt.

So, in that case,

you must find her innocent.

Do you understand?

JUROR

Defense counsel.

Is it possible for you to explain this

in an easier way?

JUROR

STENOGRAPHER

Now, please look at this screen.

Here are 50 puzzle pieces.

Let's put the puzzle pieces together.

What could this be?

I put some puzzle pieces together,

but you'd think these gray puzzle pieces

are still in pieces.

You're still doubtful.

There is room for reasonable doubt.

Let's put a few more together.

Well, that long droopy thing in the front

kind of looks like an elephant trunk.

But it seems too early to conclude.

It still seems doubtful.

There is still room for reasonable doubt.

Let's put together a few more.

Now, what do you think?

Do you have any doubt

that this is a picture of an elephant?

No, right?

In that case, there's no reason

to put the rest of the pieces together.

This is proof beyond reasonable doubt.

JUROR

Let me go. Let go!

Darn it, hey!

MILL

You. Tell me.

Tell me!

Why did he make you do this?

I have no idea.

I just do as I'm told.

Open it.

You want me to k*ll you?

It's the same person.

What is this?

MILL

What? What's with this?

In the end,

did I end up falling into your trap?

You can't risk your life to set up a trap

just to catch the real culprit!

How did you lose your anklet?

My gosh.

Don't you care about your death?

This is all you want to know?

MILL

-You go check on Byeol.

-Okay.

Darn it.

When I gave you

my blood,

I never imagined I'd see a day like this.

Okay, now. Where should I inject this?

-You should've left me to die then.

-Exactly. Right?

I never imagined I'd get caught in a trap.

I thought I should do it for you

as an insurance plan. Darn it, man.

It'll happen in a flash

if I inject it into your vein.

I'll need your cooperation.

This looks good.

Why did you k*ll him?

He helped you crawl out of prison

instead of rotting there forever.

There was no need to k*ll him.

You're right.

Why did I care

so much about my darned son?

My gosh, man.

Stop making me talk, okay?

If you inject it there,

you can't cover it up as suicide,

saying I k*lled myself because

I was scared that I'd be found guilty.

I'm very bad with my left hand.

That's insane.

I haven't thought it out that much.

Okay. That's a very good idea.

Yes, what?

What do you think? I'm home.

He's not home!

That jerk.

You!

Darn it.

You.

I'll k*ll you.

Gosh.

Damn it.

SEOUL CENTRAL DISTRICT COUR

It's taking a while.

It seems like Juror no. 2

will take the lead in the decision.

It won't be acknowledged as self-defense.

You didn't bribe them, did you?

As if it was not enough to dig up

Ko's back.

My principle is to play by the rules

no matter how harsh

we tear each other apart in court.

I need to take a nap.

JURY'S DELIBERATION

In my opinion,

I don't see a need to drag this out.

Why are we beating around the bush?

Let's not get too self-conscious

about what others think

and share our opinions to reach a verdict.

No. 4 lady.

If you're going to sleep, go home.

My gosh.

I would've left if I could have.

They told me to shut up and stay

until you're done

even if I'm an alternate.

What can I do?

Then stop snoring, will you?

You're interrupting us.

You're dragging this out

yet you can't seem to reach a conclusion.

Isn't it obvious?

I say it's self-defense.

Do you think it's easy

to call something self-defense?

-Were you out while the prosecutor talked?

-My gosh.

If we accept her case as self-defense,

everyone will claim that

and as*ault cases--

What the heck are you saying?

Didn't you hear what my daughter-- I mean…

What that girl who's her age said?

I have a question.

You may not ask anything that can hinder

the fairness of the trial. Keep it short.

BEFORE THE DELIBERATION

The prosecutor said self-defense can be

used as a means of pardon for criminals.

But is it right to consider defense

against injustice,

meaning anything ill*gal, as a crime?

If there are an assailant

who beat up an elderly man

and someone who assaulted him

while trying to stop him,

should they both be considered criminals?

Then who would ever try to save

an elderly man from an attack?

Ms. Jeon Ye-seul is sitting there

as a defendant because she tried to stop

the distribution of her spy cam video.

All she did was try to defend herself

from an awful crime.

If that's considered a crime,

then should we just let someone

violate our rights?

Goodness, she sounded like a smart girl.

I wonder who her parents are…

Here are beverages for you.

You want to clear your father's name

by making me a defendant?

I told you to stop messing with me.

Why do you think I sat in on this trial?

TOYGOODTOY, KO HYEONG-SU

KO HYEONG-SU

SEO GI-YEOL OF TOYGOODTOY INDICTED

What you see isn't everything.

But how would you know

the substantial truth

that even your father didn't know

until he died?

You need to learn about it

if you want to work in law.

SEO JI-h*

You said you believed

that I had written it.

I believe that

you were good enough to do so.

Is this a joke?

Why didn't you say it back then?

If you could've written that,

why would you copy my uncle's paper?

I began to have reasonable doubt.

And then I thought,

"Did she do it because of her mom?"

Why are you bringing her up?

She asked me to tutor you

on the Civil Code

at the beginning of the semester.

She offered me as much as I wanted

to quit the study group and tutor you.

I'm not even her son,

yet your tiger mom

made me feel suffocated.

-And?

-I didn't want to tutor you,

but wanted to help you breathe.

Is that why you asked me

to join the group?

As I studied with you,

I knew you were born with that legal mind.

If I'd been the school,

I would've accepted you

even without that paper.

-What are you--

-Trying to ask

is if you don't feel guilty.

Not everyone speaks up

just because they feel guilty.

But you should.

Admit to what you did

and ask for the best.

From my experience,

you're someone who could face it.

Are you okay?

How do you feel?

I heard your head clears up

the first time you do meth.

If you're curious, give it a try.

You didn't let him inject that

because you got curious, right?

Though you could've had him way before?

You overestimate me.

Wait, I never knew you could smile.

It's the drug. That's frightening.

Right.

He's the one who visited Ki Du-seong.

He is Choi Jae-cheol. He worked

for an ankle monitor manufacturer.

He was imprisoned for embezzlement,

and met Lee Man-h* in prison at that time.

So that's why he could take

the ankle monitor on and off.

Once Lee sues the keyboard warriors

and makes a fortune,

they were going to split it in half.

Darn it!

Choi Jae-cheol is the bridge

between Lee and Ki Du-seong?

If Lee Man-h* instigated Ki Du-seong

to k*ll you through Choi Jae-cheol,

he'd be the one who k*lled my uncle

and instigated your m*rder.

My gut feelings are right.

Professor!

The jury reached a verdict.

And now, the verdict

for case 2020-GH 311…

DEFENSE ATTORNEY

on causing grievous bodily injury

will be announced.

The jury have unanimously decided

to accept the defendant's case

for self-defense.

-Yes!

-All right!

Order.

As previously stated,

the verdict of the jury

only has an advisory effect

in the judge's decision.

I will announce the ruling.

Case 2020-GH 311…

What happened?

Come in! Damn it.

Stop any articles on Yeong-chang

from getting published.

And move him to a hospital

in a rural area.

-Don't let any reporters find him!

-Yes, sir.

Right, the ruling

of the Bad FaMa case just came out.

The articles on Bad FaMa

covered up the articles

on Ko Hyeong-su's son.

BAD FAMA FOUND INNOCEN

And it's all thanks

to Assemblyman Ko Hyeong-su.

Why is it thanks to him? I made it happen.

I played a good part

as a member of the jury.

Didn't you just stay silent?

Come on.

I knew it'd be ruled self-defense.

Didn't you say you were doubtful?

Although it's pretty late,

you all have done well,

so please eat up.

Especially you…

-Ye-seul.

-Thank you.

The tab is on the dean tonight,

so let's eat until we all blow up.

-Yes, ma'am.

-All right.

Where's our man of the day,

Professor Yang?

He's probably catching up with someone.

My perfect winning rate

on jury trials was destroyed,

but why is the night air so refreshing?

I didn't know

you loved your students that much.

You applied to be her special attorney

and won her case.

Did you turn it into a jury trial

because you knew

I always take jury trials?

And you knew I'd stop Prosecutor Jin

from trying to pull a trick.

Don't be so happy though.

During the appeal--

Sim-won.

I know you very well

you won't lodge an appeal.

You'd think it's a waste,

an abuse of the right to appeal.

Yes, Ko Yeong-chang is a huge jerk indeed.

But if Ko Yeong-chang asks for an appeal,

I don't have the courage

to ignore it as abuse.

The woman I know you to be

probably does have it.

Really?

You turned down someone that cool?

There's the guy

who got lucky thanks to you.

I'll pay you back

for causing damage on my reputation,

so see you around. Bye.

Aren't you coming?

HAN JOON-HWI

KOREAN FULL-COURSE MEAL

The dean rarely buys us a meal, you know.

Do you think Assemblyman Ko

really wanted Bad FaMa

to be found innocent?

Do you think he wanted

to introduce a bill to abolish

defamation by publicly alleging facts?

I doubt it.

You've worked with him in his office.

You know that he's a man

who wants to work with legislations

that would help out his career

more than the people.

And you played a part in helping him

find something for his career.

I was desperate.

Isn't that what you wrote

with your bloody nose?

That she did it out of desperation

as it's a matter of the kids' survival.

So did I take part?

Yes.

I gave him the Lee Man-h* Act, too.

The Lee Man-h* Act?

He was the key member

of the Judiciary Committee.

No one else could've passed it.

That's…

Was it Kang Dan?

Prof. Yang told me later

that a student at Hankuk University

proposed that bill.

Let's go inside.

We're keeping everyone waiting.

Kang Dan is…

my sister.

I was trying to say

we should both be careful.

Why do you turn a cautionary measure

into a careless mistake?

Seo Ji-h* is a nobody. Why did you take

the case to the prosecution?

In his father's death, we obviously--

We played a part in it?

Hey, Mr. Choi.

Do you think we were the main culprits?

I didn't leak it because I wanted to.

My superior at the time, Seo Byung-ju,

despised leaking out suspected crimes.

-Then why…

-Why?

That's the reason why you should never

stab me in the back.

Actually, the one you stabbed

in the back is not me.

I guess you haven't heard.

The real culprit was caught.

What?

He was caught trying to k*ll me.

What the heck are you…

I never imagined I'd get caught in a trap.

I thought I should do it for you

as an insurance plan.

Jae-cheol spilled everything.

He said you k*lled Seo Byung-ju.

Are you allowed to question me

at such a late hour?

It's not like I want to be here.

I'm not done with the questioning.

Darn it.

Come on.

You tried to k*ll Jong-hoon?

I'm pleading the Fifth

until I get myself a lawyer.

And Seo Byung-ju.

Did you really k*ll him?

I refuse to state anything.

Hey, let's go for another drink!

Tell Yangcrates to come!

My head is too clear. I came home.

The real culprit

is caught.

-What?

-What?

The real culprit who k*lled Prof. Seo?

That's how Lee Man-h* made his alibi?

How dare he mess with the ankle monitor?

That's what money does.

Shouldn't Jae-cheol be considered

as an accomplice?

I wouldn't call him an accomplice,

but an aider.

Aider.

That's way too weak.

I mean, he messed with the anklet.

Look at how happy you are.

Weren't you pondering

why you wanted to be a lawyer?

No, seeing Ye-seul getting found innocent

made me realize

that I was born to be a lawyer.

I will…

just go home, then.

Why? You said no one's home.

My roommate went home, so stay with me.

She went home?

Are you concerned?

Why? Are you jealous?

Don't be so cute.

Wait, you left with the slippers

from the restaurant?

No matter how out of it you were--

It's not because she was out of it.

Hey. When did you come home?

I have something to say, Dad, Mom.

Something to say?

No! Have you gone insane?

Prof. Yang won't let this pass.

He's only giving me time

as Joon-hwi asked him.

No, you can't do that.

I'll die if you get kicked out.

I've never imagined you

as anything else than a judge!

Honey, do something.

I apologize for comparing you to Byung-ju,

so please do something.

Honey.

Yes, I'm your wife.

Please help save me.

If she gets kicked out of the law school,

I'll die.

I'd rather have you quit.

But not our daughter.

Our daughter can't get kicked out.

No, please.

I'm going to sleep.

No, honey.

I got you a change of clothes

from your room.

When I asked Prof. Yang about Kang Dan,

he refused to say another word.

She volunteered at a children's home

during high school,

and she must've looked after

Lee Man-h*'s son.

I'm glad I gave you that bill

and sent you to Assemblyman Ko.

Right.

What does she want to do now?

She only did Ko Hyeong-su good.

Thanks to you,

I began to trust the law again.

Yes, let's focus on her innocence,

just how she was found innocent.

Gosh, I'm just glad

she was found innocent.

Mom, did you get home all right?

Yes, I got home just fine.

But some jerk destroyed our CCTV.

We don't need it anymore.

Lee Man-h* won't live across from you.

What do you mean?

He was the real culprit

of the m*rder case at our school.

He'll rot in prison forever.

Goodness, that's frightening.

You and Byeol can sleep in peace now.

Goodness.

Anyway, Mom.

I really wasn't sure about Juror no. 2.

How did you unanimously…

No, never mind.

You can't disclose the discussion.

Of course, I can't. If I do,

they told me

I'll either be fined or locked up.

I'm going to sleep in peace now.

Good night. Great work today.

What happened

with Juror no. 2 is…

Should we consider

his violation of her rights

continued even after he dropped his phone?

That's the key issue.

The Supreme Court precedents say

it's very difficult

to prove that continuity.

It should be difficult.

She still made him paraplegic.

She should be punished in some way.

But I wouldn't say imprisonment,

more like probation.

It wasn't your fault.

It wasn't your fault.

She really isn't helpful.

It wasn't the defendant's fault.

Stop talking! It's not self-defense!

-Darn you.

-Goodness.

-Hey!

-Stop.

Doesn't this look exactly like

how Ko Yeong-chang

reached for his phone in the footage?

Prosecutor, you thought the continuity

of his violation ended here.

Is that really the case?

If he reaches out to pick up this knife,

it means

his injustice against me continues.

Because of that fear…

this was all I could do.

You really hit me.

Shouldn't we consider the violation

to finally end at this point?

Right.

We should say the continuity stands.

I say it was self-defense.

Prosecutor Jin will have a tough night.

Ye-seul was found innocent,

and the real culprit was caught.

And Mr. Choi went to the prosecution

to share his witness account,

so he's probably furious.

This is probably

the worst day of his life.

What about you?

Why can't you sleep?

Do you think…

Prosecutor Jin will be indicted?

He said something weird.

Something weird?

That what I see isn't everything.

That my dad died without knowing

the substantial truth.

BAD FAMA FOUND INNOCENT FOR DEFAMATION

LEE MAN-h* ATTACKS KO

HIS BILL PROPOSAL…

Are you sure Lee Man-h* is

the real culprit?

Yes, sir.

HEAD PROSECUTOR JIN HYEONG-U

These are the shoes he wore.

These are the same model.

And the soles.

The soles are the same as those

of the sneakers he was wearing.

The medical examiner said

the needle mark you see here

is the same as the one on this syringe.

Seung-jae said this is made in Germany,

and not often used in Korea.

HEAD PROSECUTOR JIN HYEONG-U

On top of that, Choi Jae-cheol destroyed

all of his alibis.

Jae-cheol put the anklet on

instead of him

at the exact time of the incident.

It means Lee Man-h* is the real culprit.

Goodness.

There's no reason to lose heart.

Persuade Jae-cheol

and make it look like you caught

the culprit.

But the thing is,

Yang Jong-hoon contacted him first, so--

Then find out

how he contacted Choi Jae-cheol.

You'll find something.

I stopped articles on Lee's arrest

from getting published.

Hand it over to Reporter Choi

and let him publish the exclusive report.

Tell him to walk back his remarks.

No, I don't want to do an interview.

He took this and walked back his remarks?

Yes. He won't pick up my calls.

I'm thinking of visiting him.

He's a wasted chance.

Why do you think Prosecutor Jin took Lee

to the prosecution that quickly?

In an attempt to blame the police

for pointing at you

with poor investigation.

And will they simply agree

it was their fault?

I think Prosecutor Jin

wants to blame the police.

The police got furious saying

they could've righted the wrong

if he didn't leak out his suspected crime.

Were they Detective Jang and Oh?

I'm going to meet with them.

Good luck.

Hey.

Which floor is Prof. Yang's office on?

At the exact time of the incident,

your ankle monitor location

appears at this cafe

next to Attorney Seo Byung-ju's office.

But the one who was here with the anklet

wasn't you, but Choi Jae-cheol.

Right? Do you know what this means--

I demand a cross-examination

with Choi Jae-cheol.

HEAD PROSECUTOR JIN HYEONG-U

This is Attorney Song Ki-joon,

Choi Jae-cheol's counsel.

You can talk to him.

Darn it.

You want us to testify

that Prosecutor Jin leaked

his suspected crime to the media?

Yes.

Are you insane?

He did piss me off, but why would I

mess with a prosecutor?

Detective Jang, Detective Oh,

this is a matter of your honor.

According to his media source,

the police turned a talented law professor

into a m*rder*r

because of the poor initial investigation.

Prosecutor Jin told the media

even before we transferred his case

to the prosecution.

Man, that jerk.

And that jerk

leaked my dad's suspected crime

before he was found guilty,

then he ended up setting himself on fire.

Please help me out.

Helping out Seo Ji-h*

is the right way to apologize to me.

Whatever!

I still see my dad on fire in my dreams.

I can't believe this.

LIST OF SUPPORTERS

Ko's case got covered, and the number

of the supporters skyrocketed.

Do they have enough trust in him

to give him money?

This is doubly annoying.

ASSEMBLYMAN KO HYEONG-SU

Why isn't she coming?

It's awkward to be here alone.

Hey, where are you?

I had to come to school first.

DEAN'S OFFICE

The head supporter?

KO HYEONG-SU

Why is he holding that toy up?

That's so cheap.

ASSEMBLYMAN KO HYEONG-SU

I have the documents he requested.

Kang Sol B had to stop by the school

before she got here.

She doesn't need to come.

Sorry?

-If it's about the plagiarism--

-I did plagiarize.

I could've written that paper myself,

but I copied his.

Why are you telling us now?

Han Joon-hwi said

he helped his uncle write that paper.

He did?

I thought I needed to tell you the truth

and ask for the best

in order to avoid getting kicked out.

And the vice dean?

I told him yesterday.

I had to stop him from resigning.

But you don't look ashamed.

I'm sorry.

I look more shameless

with a guilty conscience.

Will you really be like this?

You need to get me a good lawyer

from a big firm like Hyeongseol!

That's not what you promised--

Hello? Hey…

Darn it.

Is it okay to leave them alone?

PROSECUTOR JIN HYEONG-U

PROSECUTOR LEE HAN-JU

Criminal Procedure Act Article 255.1.

You need to do that.

You did that to me, too.

You seem to do it often.

ARTICLE 255.1

Withdrawal of prosecution.

HEAD PROSECUTOR JIN HYEONG-U

We have more than enough evidence.

The more you hold out, the more severely--

Why are you in such a rush?

I have to find myself an attorney first.

Let's take this slow, okay?

Be my guest.

Take him.

There's something more important

than my confession.

I can't believe

a smart guy like you missed that.

Motive for the m*rder?

Why did he k*ll him?

He's an organ trafficker and a r*pist.

He can do worse.

He said it was because of his son.

His son?

Did Seo Byung-ju hurt him?

He found him feeble-minded

and even got him a job after he got

released, so why?

Gosh, you can now start giving lectures

with that textbook.

Prosecutor Jin withdrew your indictment.

Congratulations on the dismissal

of your label as the Law School m*rder*r.

Couldn't you thank me and say

I did a great job

even if you don't mean it?

Don't get your hopes up.

Just be grateful

your name was made known in return.

But he could still say thanks.

"Great job, Park.

You had a tough time

dealing with a cranky client…"

Who cares if he's cranky?

He's much better

than a jerk like Lee Man-h*.

Even public defenders

abhor the thought of defending him.

Abhorrence is a stretch.

-I'd do it if he pays me enough.

-Sure.

You go ahead and do it.

He's the guy who tried to k*ll

your client, but just do it.

-I…

-You don't even have an ounce of loyalty.

His indictment is canceled,

so he's not my client anymore.

I need to see you.

What?

I thought we were all done.

Presidency, my foot.

He's a petty man who fired us

over a personal matter

after his son's trial went down the drain.

It's not like I wanted to work there.

I would've been done with my internship

after a few days.

Gosh, should I have acted crazy

and held out?

What was that?

-Hop in.

-What?

My gosh.

She said she's more shameless

with a guilty conscience,

then made the dean and me speechless.

But she felt guilty.

Her conscience?

Of course, she should feel guilty.

But wait.

You're glad that she felt guilty at least?

You can't stand people like Sol B.

I can't stand her.

COVER LETTER: KANG SOL

I read her cover letter all over again,

but it didn't say anything

about winning an award with that paper.

Didn't she attach the certificate?

Well, she did.

But we only acknowledge awards

given by chancellors,

governors, mayors, or ministers.

This award was given

by the Asia Human Rights Law Association,

so it wasn't taken into account.

So this paper

didn't affect her acceptance?

LETTER OF RESIGNATION

This time, I'll leave

even if you rip this up.

We haven't reached a decision

on your daughter's punishment.

It's all my fault.

I'd like to take responsibility

for causing this scandal.

Han Joon-hwi came to see me,

asking for favorable arrangements

for Kang Sol B.

LETTER OF RESIGNATION

If that's what this resignation means…

Please punish her by the rules.

It looked like

Vice Dean Kang was set on resigning.

You should talk to him.

Did things go well with Prosecutor Bae?

She won't appeal.

No.

I mean, you and I go way back.

That's why you should run.

ASSEMBLYMAN KO HYEONG-SU

Why won't she lodge an appeal?

In that case, I'll visit you next time.

Goodbye.

Prosecutor Bae insisted that

it's an abuse of the right to appeal.

What? An abuse of the right to appeal?

-Get her on the phone!

-I already talked to her,

and she told me to tell you

it'll be a better choice for Yeong-chang

for you to drop this case,

and how you should be grateful that

Ye-seul didn't sue him for dating abuse.

What?

Prosecutor Bae, you…

I need to see Prosecutor Jin!

-You were fired from Ko's office, too?

-Yes.

What about the internship?

What will you do?

-I can find another law firm.

-The accusation.

Right.

My key witness backed out,

so the detectives who worked

with Jin stepped up.

The ones for your dad's case?

No, for Prof. Yang's.

Their words aren't the smoking g*n,

but it can show how Prosecutor Jin

had been leaking information.

Why do you think

Prosecutor Jin attended Ye-seul's trial?

By chance?

Why do you think I sat in on this trial?

Who benefitted the most

after Prosecutor Jin

leaked your dad's suspected crime?

KO HYEONG-SU

The toy company

that had been competing with your dad's.

I-bit?

CEO Cho Tae-yeong of I-bit

is Ko's head supporter.

What?

You should know the substantial truth

to get into law.

The substantial truth.

Then did Prosecutor Jin do that

upon Assemblyman Ko Hyeong-su's request?

What? The most effective angle

in taking photos of a partner's affair?

What kind of an angle…

It's more about your speed than the angle.

Take the photos

as soon as you kick open the door.

Cameras are slower,

so use your phone camera.

Please come to my office

for further consultation.

The address.

Yes, sir.

Why am I here?

You got fired from your internship.

Do it here.

Here? I freaking hate it.

I freaking hate you, too.

I'm only doing this for you

because Prof. Yang asked.

What? Prof. Yang?

PROSECUTOR JIN HYEONG-U

HEAD PROSECUTOR JIN HYEONG-U

Was Assemblyman Ko behind you?

Did he take money from I-bit's CEO--

If you don't want to see him

get dragged out, take him outside.

Tell me!

You can't do this here. Hey.

Calm down and come.

-Calm--

-Let me go!

Calm down for now.

Come on out. Come.

-Let me go!

-That's enough.

-Let me go!

-Enough is enough, really.

Will you go back inside?

What?

You're saying I'm out?

Tell him you persuaded him to leave

and get the kudos.

Okay, then. Try to calm down.

Bye.

You knew, didn't you?

Why didn't you tell me?

I knew you'd do this.

You know nothing good can come

from doing this,

but you'd still do it.

So you're Seo Ji-h*'s roommate?

Tell him to get a grip and wake up.

I'm sorry to tell you this

right before my internship is over.

I don't think

I can work for you anymore.

What?

I plan to do everything I can

to help Ji-h* prove your guilt.

And it'd be a conflict of interest

to stay here

and share the same office.

Prosecutor Lee.

He wants to help you investigate my case.

I'll send him there. Good luck.

Happy now?

Yes, thank you.

I'll do a good job.

Prof. Yang.

Prof. Yang.

Why did you refer me to Mr. Park's--

He'll take Lee Man-h*'s case.

Help him during your internship.

What?

Cheers, guys. Cheers.

Over here.

You already got drunk without me?

Yes, your friend

feels really frustrated right here,

and feels like her head

is about to blow up.

So I got drunk.

Because of Lee Man-h*?

Hey, you know,

I really have no idea

why the law should protect

those scumbags like Lee Man-h*.

Do you know, Joon-hwi?

Do people who pass

the second-round judicial exam know that?

Figures.

I'm jealous of you.

You could be a future prosecutor.

How are prosecutors different?

They're different.

You won't have to worry about

what you can do to reduce the sentence

for a scumbag like Lee Man-h*.

Quarter him to death!

Punish him severely!

You can do that.

I was really thankful

that Lee Man-h* disappeared

from the house across mine.

But why the heck is Prof. Yang telling me

to help defend him?

How does this make any sense?

It makes no sense.

-Go!

-We're late!

CAN WE DEFEND BAD PEOPLE?

LECTURE ROOM

In this lecture today,

I'd like you to have a discussion

as future officers in law,

freed from your stress over grades

and your bar exam.

Stop acting like you're a sinner.

You got me, Ji-h*, and this girl

fired from our internships.

Think of everything we did to help

and be confident.

LECTURE ROOM

"Why do I want to be a lawyer?"

We didn't exactly get fired

because of you.

"What kind of lawyer do I want to be?"

When you work for justice

and the benefit of your client as lawyers,

you'll face this problem first.

Can we defend bad people?

And of course, by bad people,

I mean atrocious criminals

who committed a serious crime.

Now, can any of you

answer that with confidence?

CAN WE DEFEND BAD PEOPLE?

Latecomers,

can you each give me an answer?

Can you defend a bad person?

Article 12.4 of the Constitution says,

"Any person who is

arrested or detained shall have

the right

to prompt assistance of counsel."

But I still don't think

I can defend a bad person.

Why can't you do it?

I feel like I'll become a bad person too

while defending a guy like him.

Then don't take the bar.

Prof. Yang.

You cannot turn down a client

just because he or she is a bad person

denounced by the whole world.

Even bad people

have the right to be defended.

If you're afraid

defending him will make you bad,

Attorneys-at-Law Act Article 24…

Attorneys-at-Law Act Article 24,

Duty to Maintain Dignity.

Paragraph One, attorneys cannot

do anything to damage his or her dignity.

Paragraph Two, attorneys are prohibited

from concealing the truth

or making false statements.

If we can maintain our dignity,

there is no reason

to not defend them.

Whatever.

Back then,

if any attorneys stood on your side,

you may not have ended up

going to a juvie.

You don't care

how it'll go down in history,

but you only seek the judicial truth?

I see.

Ye-seul, what do you think?

I'm not sure yet.

I don't know if I have a right

to defend the good or the bad.

May I…

provide you the answer?

HAPPY CORRECTION, HAPPY PEOPLE

What were you thinking

when you got me an attorney?

It's not like you'll find out anything.

I'm sure you're aware

of his obligation to keep silent.

I know that very well.

So I want to hear it from you.

You m*rder*d Seo Byung-ju

because of your son?

Did I say that?

I didn't have a drop of alcohol,

but I can't seem to remember.

And your insurance plan?

You said you let me live

as an insurance plan.

That means

you'll be put in an anxious position

once I die and disappear.

That could mean someone might be

involved in this m*rder.

For example, it could've been instigated

by someone, a m*rder by contract.

I see.

You'd rather die than go to prison,

but you needed to find your son.

So you k*lled him as you were told,

then blamed me.

Yet you're nothing but a ticking b*mb

to the instigators of your m*rder,

so in case they try to get rid of you,

you hoped that I'd stay alive.

I'm alive and well,

and it looks like they abandoned you.

So now, tell me something.

What should I tell you?

You know what.

Your sentence will drop significantly

if it's instigated by another.

What did he say?

My gosh.

There was no use in acting as your driver.

Hop in.

Hello?

I'd like to ask you

about Lee Man-h*'s son.

I have nothing to tell you.

I'll talk to you later.

Who was that?

I'll tell you later. Who was that?

Later.

So did Lee Man-h* really say

he k*lled Prof. Seo Byung-ju

because of his son?

That's enough for now.

I'll call you again.

All right.

Will you prosecute him?

Should I write up a draft?

Hey, come on!

How is she this strong?

Let's just go see him.

Let's go see him first, then…

What are you doing? Push her!

I'm not going!

I'll puke

as soon as I see Lee Man-h*'s face.

Then go puke after you see him.

Hey, Bok-gi!

This is dereliction of duties.

I can't count this as your internship.

Sol, just come with us

and just sit there, okay?

No, you go! I don't want to go there!

If only it wasn't for Prof. Yang…

I hate you, too!

Why did he put me up for this?

How can he ask me to defend a guy

who almost k*lled him?

That's why this draws attention.

And I took it because it's great publicity

without paying a dime.

Prof. Yang defends people like Ye-seul

instead of bad guys!

Tell me about it.

We might be stoned to death

while defending Lee Man-h*,

a guy everyone wants to avoid.

And you want to be a human rights lawyer?

I did something for you that you asked

for during Ye-seul's trial.

I do one for you, and you do one for me.

That's not the same as this!

You'll make me go deaf!

Go yell at Prof. Yang instead!

You can't even squeak before him.

Of course, I can squeak before him!

I'm good at it!

Squeak.

You don't plead the Fifth

when you're with your attorney.

He'd have no excuses to make.

Let's go.

Why are you so pissed?

You'd be the most thrilled that I'm here.

It'd be the best if I were not here.

You finally said something.

You ask him.

Ask him what?

I thought you were looking for your son.

-And you wanted him to see this?

-My gosh!

CRIMINAL COMPLAIN

CHARGE: PUBLICATION OF SUSPECTED CRIME

THE DEFENDANT, PROSECUTOR JIN HYEONG-U…

Goodness. This isn't easy.

Are you having trouble?

Do your thing. Stop minding me.

Man, I can't do this.

I need to shower with cold water.

Don't get anywhere near my desk.

Okay.

THE DEFENDANT, PROSECUTOR JIN HYEONG-U

PUBLICIZED SUSPECTED CRIME

BEFORE THE INDICTMENT…

-Hey.

-Hey, he's here.

Hurry!

You're the first to be charged for leaking

suspected crime. How do you feel?

-Prosecutor!

-Please say something!

-Wait!

-Say something!

-A word!

-Wait!

ONLY THOSE WHO ARE PREPARED HAVE A FUTURE

Hello? Prosecutor Yang.

I have something to say. Come see me now!

EMERGENCY RESPONSE

Let us begin the trial

of case number 2021-GD523,

with Jin Hyeong-u as the defendant,

for publication of facts

of suspected crime.

You can't see Lee Man-h* today.

Was he in the ambulance?

VISITOR RECEPTION

The defendant, Jin Hyeong-u,

is not allowed

to publicize suspected crime

before the indictment as a prosecutor.

However, in September 2016,

during the investigation

of Defendant Seo Gi-yeol's

suspected crime,

he disclosed this information

to reporters Choi Jung-hyeok

and Kim Hyeon-jae

at an unspecified location

before the indictment had been made.

Defendant.

What's your opinion

regarding your charges?

Your Honor,

there is no precedent of an indictment

for violating Article 126

of the Criminal Code.

That article was as good as dead.

However, I stand here

as the first one to be indicted

to have a chance to share that

Article 126 of the Criminal Code

is an unconstitutional clause

which hinders the people's right to know.

I request an adjudication

on its constitutionality.

EMERGENCY CENTER

Choi Jae-cheol's bail request

was processed,

and he was released this morning.

But Lee Man-h*…

-What happened?

-Stabbed with a knife.

And the OR?

I'll check.

Hey. Hey! Wake up!

I can't…

I can't go down…

I can't go down alone.

What about Lee Man-h*?

Damn it.

That jerk…

That jerk…

What about that jerk?

That jerk…

No. Tell me.

Say it! Tell me!

Subtitle translation by: Eun Sook Youn

-Who stabbed him?

-Ki Du-seong, the guy who stabbed you.

Ki's become a hero.

Accept the claim he acted

in self-defense and close the case.

Just give the public what they want.

I request Ms. Jeon to join in.

Why don't you accept it?

The moment I saw this photo,

I realized my hunch was wrong.

I think he k*lled my uncle and tried

to k*ll you as well

because someone put him up to it.

How did I miss that?

Don't trust your gut

as it has been proven to be unreliable.

Investigate thoroughly.

Someone's toying with me now.
