(Episode 12)
I told you to just leave it.
We're moving soon.
We should get organized in advance.
We have no clients at the moment anyway.
(Hankang New Materials Leak)
Hello.
Who are you? What's your name?
Yoo Ra.
(Hankang New Materials Leak)
(Death Certificate)
It can't be. She died?
Three years ago?
(Withdrawal of Charges)
(Lawyer: Go Tae Rim)
With just one date, we don't have to move our office.
Is it that hard?
What is it now? What are you spying on?
I wasn't spying on anything.
What's going on?
He stood me up...
and missed work for two days.
It's none of my business.
Why would I care?
Your call cannot be connected. Please...
Why is he ignoring my calls?
This is unbelievable.
I'm hungry.
So hungry.
No.
Save me.
- My goodness. - Who is he?
Oh, dear.
What's the matter?
- Don't. - What are you doing?
- I'm saved at last. - He's crazy, right?
I was in the mountains for two days.
I'm so glad to see people.
He's lost. Oh, dear.
How did he get lost in this mountain?
Can I eat some of that?
- This? - Oh, dear.
- My goodness. - You'll get sick.
Drink some water too.
- My gosh. - Oh, dear.
I don't know what happened,
but you shouldn't give up on life.
That's right. You'll see it was nothing when you look back.
I know that. I wasn't trying to kill myself.
I did try once, long ago,
but it wasn't like that this time.
Good. You're still young. Stay strong and live on.
- You bet I will. - Good, good.
You gave me food, so I'll sing for you.
- That's a good idea. - Go ahead.
If you go on living
That's right.
One day
- Good. - He has a nice voice.
The good days will come
- That's right. - That's true.
This is nice.
I'm so grateful that you'll side with us.
What happened made me think.
Even for a client,
there are lines that shouldn't be crossed.
I'd like to ask...
how many are willing to join us.
I'd say at least half.
You may say so now,
but if Hankang Group takes action,
won't some waver?
That concerns me too.
So I came up with an idea.
How about we make them sign away power of attorney?
Power of attorney?
Yes. That they support the separation of B and G.
That they will delegate the power of decision...
to the new firm, not Hankang Group.
- Right. - Once they do that,
you must give me full authority.
Then I can take the necessary action.
Of course.
I should do that, naturally.
Yes, sir.
Me?
What should we change B and G to?
Aren't you going too far ahead?
There's a long way to go.
Even if Director Kim tries,
there's no guarantee the partners will sign the papers.
Sung Gi Jun's not capable of doing so,
but if his father makes a move,
for old time's sake...
Chairman Sung's a dying man.
If his son takes over,
things will obviously become a mess.
Would they care about past ties?
Lawyers grovel to companies for the sake of money,
but they get riled up when you mention honor and pride.
They think they're elites.
That's what made them turn against Sung Gi Jun.
This is a great opportunity for us.
He's one of us.
Wait outside.
Yes, sir.
- Cheol Jin. - Yes, sir.
You don't have to call me that.
The cops are looking everywhere for you.
- I apologize. - No, it's fine.
I need you to...
have some fun with this, then go in.
I understand.
Don't worry about your family.
I'll look after them.
I'll get you a good lawyer to get you out soon.
Do as I say.
I will.
- You know I trust you, right? - Yes, sir.
Come on.
Don't call me that. We're friends.
I don't know anyone else's number, but I know Ms. Min's.
The call cannot be connected. Please leave a message.
Is she not answering?
Because she doesn't know the number.
You know how spammers are like.
I'll text her instead.
Ms. Min.
It's Yoon Sang Koo.
- Thank you so much. - You're welcome.
Ms. Min. Over here, Ms. Min.
- Ms. Min. - You look like a mess.
Why are you here?
I'll explain everything.
Thanks so much, ladies. See you again.
Okay. Bye.
What a pretty wife.
She is.
We'll live happily ever after.
- Good. - You do that.
Cheer up.
"Wife"? What was all that about?
She was just kidding.
Let's get going. I'll explain everything.
I'll tell you about the sub-human treatment I endured.
You've been causing an endless cycle of problems.
- Goodbye. - Take care.
He has such a pretty wife.
Should I get an exorcism done?
Think about it. I got stabbed...
and then got a present.
What do you mean?
Sung Gi Jun. Sung Gi Jun.
Did I just tear open my stitches?
What?
Are you okay?
Is my nose okay?
You need an exorcism.
I think it got even bigger.
Did you have to drive like that?
I think it really ruptured.
How much did Cho Geum Se take?
That much?
I got conned...
and beaten like a dog.
It's all his fault. Monster Pervert.
You're into give and take.
I'm into paying people back 990 million times.
Don't worry. This is just the beginning.
He wants to take me on.
He still holds a grudge about the last time.
Fine. Let's see who wins.
- Oh, dear. - I lost.
- See? - Too bad.
- Hello. - Welcome.
- Put it here. - Hurry up.
Hello, sir. I'd like to ask you something.
A long time ago, there was a lawsuit...
over a toxic substance leak.
Do you know a lawyer called Go Tae Rim?
How dare you mention that jerk who cared for nothing but money?
That evil scumbag.
It was a bolt out of the blue.
Most of the neighbors passed out around the same time.
Mr. Lim's granddaughter was one of them.
We found out later...
that there was a toxic substance...
mixed in the water we all use.
The wastewater that leaked from the factory...
apparently got mixed with the underground water.
After a week's worth of treatment, we all felt better.
It was just a mistake.
I mean, would they have done that on purpose?
- We're so sorry. - Back then,
the factory employees kept apologizing to us...
- and treated us very kindly. - Goodness, I apologize.
So we never even thought of suing them.
And that's when that punk showed up.
I'm Go Tae Rim, an attorney at B and G Law Firm.
You can't let them fool you with a couple of bucks.
Why? Because I'm going to help you receive an unimaginable amount...
of compensation from them.
(Hankang New Materials)
Don't you want to live the rest of your lives...
going on trips to hot springs...
and not having to worry about money ever again?
You'll even get to give a lot of pocket money to your grandchildren.
Sir.
My name is Go Tae Rim.
While some people...
exhaust themselves by working hard all day under the sun,
you'll be inside the village cafe with nice air-conditioning...
- drinking two shots of herbal tea. - I'm sorry.
On top of that, you'll be able to buy...
iced coffee for everyone there...
including Ms. Park, Ms. Choi, and Ms. Lee.
How about you all live your lives in luxury?
I don't know what was wrong with us,
but we turned our backs to those kind people...
and ended up getting convinced by that wicked punk.
But not soon after the trial began,
the safety manager of the factory hanged himself.
He died because of that attorney.
It was all because of money.
He committed suicide?
Then what about Yoo Ra?
The bus is here.
- Let's go. - Let's go.
We need to go to the community center.
- Come on. - Goodness.
(Hankang Chemicals)
Sir.
You're Mr. Lim Jae Sung, right?
By any chance, are you Yoo Ra's grandfather?
The adults got better after a couple of days of treatment.
But that toxic substance...
must've been very fatal to Yoo Ra.
She sometimes woke up,
- but her condition only worsened. - Yoo Ra.
- Who are you? - I'm from B and G Law Firm.
- And that man suddenly showed up... - I'm Go Tae Rim.
and offered to help us.
You must be Yoo Ra.
Is she okay?
No.
Yoo Ra was very fond of that man.
(Mister Go and Yoo Ra)
She lost her parents at a young age...
and was raised by me, so she was a lonely girl.
(Mister Go and Yoo Ra)
And not too long after that,
Yoo Ra's condition suddenly deteriorated.
Give me the real documents.
Give me the real documents, not the fake ones.
A child died.
You guys killed her! Do you know that?
- Let me go! - I'm sorry...
I said, let me go!
And yet, you call yourselves human?
He did get angry at him because of Yoo Ra's death.
But that can't be...
the reason why that safety manager suddenly died.
It's totally absurd.
The owner of the factory turned out to be a very young man.
He was apparently an heir or something.
- Goodness. - How brazen.
- This is unbelievable. - My gosh.
The villagers are just talking nonsense.
They're just blaming it on Mr. Go...
because they feel guilty for having taken the compensation...
and because the factory agreed to build a community center for them.
By any chance, was the name of the CEO factory Sung Gi Jun?
Sung Gi Jun?
Yes, I think it was something similar to that.
Sung Gi Jun...
Yes, that was his name.
Is that why he was so obsessed with...
Did you say you're working for him right now?
Yes.
People say he's money-crazy and that he's cold-hearted.
But I was able to see his true self.
True self?
It's harder...
to hold in your tears than to just cry out loud.
I see.
After having stood on your opposite side,
I found out that you weren't something I had to overcome.
Are you so obsessed with money and winning...
because you're trying hard to forget your painful memories?
Or did you just get swayed back then because of that child?
You said someone's happiness derives from another person's misfortune.
But I see a different world.
I didn't need to win you.
All I had to do was just walk a different path.
I don't know what your true self is,
but I keep wanting to believe...
that there's something more precious to you than money or victory.
(Resignation Letter)
(Kang Gi Seok)
My gosh.
What's going on?
Apparently, I got fired.
What are you talking about? Why would you get fired?
You can get the details from the new CEO.
She should be here shortly. Bye, then.
What's going on? Why would you get fired?
I'm the newly appointed CEO of B and G Law Firm,
Song Eun Hye.
Professor Song.
It's you?
You got yourself involved in many things to keep your position,
Mr. Bang.
You're probably sad that this is the outcome,
but you must obey this decision.
On what grounds? I'm still the CEO of this firm officially.
The board hasn't agreed to this!
Here. I brought their voting results.
With the authority you had delegated to Director Kim,
he held an extraordinary general meeting.
In that meeting, the board decided...
to remove you from the CEO position.
How could they do this to me? How?
Think about all the things that I've had to do for you people.
You know better than anybody else does!
What is the reason?
Why must you do this to me?
If I must state the reason,
wouldn't it be because you betrayed your business partner?
I knew it. Chairman Sung of Hankang Group must be behind this.
You're indebted to him.
However, you forgot all about it...
and tried to fulfill your selfish greed.
It was all for the firm!
Thank you for your hard work over the years.
Sir!
Please get up. The employees are outside.
Right.
I mustn't let them see this until my last moment here.
No more. Now, get back to work.
No, I'll see you out.
Sang Koo.
Don't do anything rash.
Be tenacious and stay at the firm for a long time.
- Pardon? - Get back to work.
This is my last order.
Are you not going to listen to me?
Okay, I'll head back.
Take care.
Get home safely.
I bet you now have an idea of...
who deliberately drove a wedge between Monster Pervert and us.
Yes.
Those at Hankang probably thought...
that it'd be hard for them to control us if we grew more.
I, Bang Dae Han, won't let them take me down like this.
And for that, I need you inside the firm.
You must become Professor Song's right arm.
- Sir. - I know it'll be hard.
That woman, Song Eun Hye,
acts all elegant and graceful,
but she's actually more ruthless than anybody else I know.
But you're quite a tough cookie yourself.
Right?
Help me out.
Okay.
I got it, sir.
Thank you.
I'm off, then. Bye.
Jae In.
Thank you for everything you've done for me.
Are you leaving?
Not really. I'll still be in Seoul, you know.
Do you really have to do this?
There's just such a huge gap...
between what I've found out about you and the person I used to know,
so I can't help but feel uncomfortable around you.
All right, Jae In.
But just remember this one thing.
I truly love you.
Aside from that, we're just living our separate lives.
It'll be too sad if the times we spent together...
and our feelings go down the drain because we have different values.
I know.
I should get going.
Yes.
Find out what Mr. Seo in China is up to these days.
Hey, Jae In. What happened?
Can I stay at your place starting today?
I moved out.
Because of your professor who turned out to be Hankang's puppet?
Don't talk about her in that manner.
I'm sure she had her reason.
Hey, it's the talk of the town these days.
Everyone calls her "the ruthless witch of B and G".
I heard even the witch of the century,
Yoon Do Hee, is represented by B and G now.
"The witch of the century"?
The court sentences Defendant Yoon Do Hee...
to death.
Inmate 253, your attorney is here to meet with you.
What is it? You don't feel confident?
Do you want to quit?
As your attorney, I'm here to tell you how you can survive.
There's a lawyer who can get...
anyone acquitted, including murderers.
His win rate is 100 percent.
Name, Go Tae Rim.
People usually call him Monster Pervert.
"Monster Pervert"?
Go Tae Rim?
Pardon me? Yoon Do Hee?
Okay.
Don't tell me that was the witch, Yoon Do Hee.
The woman who received a death sentence recently?
Yes, that woman.
A year ago,
the CEO of a transportation company, Lee Joon Il, and his daughter...
were found unconscious at their home.
Lee Joon Il died,
and his daughter, Lee Ha Na, who was in fifth grade at the time,
managed to survive but ended up in critical condition.
She still refuses to open up to anyone due to the emotional shock.
Later on, the police found...
a cyanic acid compound in their soup bowls.
Four months after that, Yoon Do Hee,
who was Lee Joon Il's girlfriend at the time, got arrested.
She was the beneficiary of his life insurance payout,
which was 1.8 million dollars.
She had been married twice previously.
Her first husband died a mysterious death,
and her second husband committed suicide.
From their deaths,
she had collected huge insurance payouts.
Due to her past,
she earned the nickname of the witch of the century,
and her name has been all over the news.
She continues to deny the accusations,
but there are a number of witnesses...
who saw her by the rear entrance of the victim's house...
on the night of the incident.
In addition,
the exact same cyanic acid compound was found...
was found at her place.
She was sentenced to death in the first trial.
I heard those in the courtroom applauded.
The appeal hearing is going on at the moment,
but I don't think anything can overturn the first verdict.
Whether she appeals again or not,
you'll probably say she deserves the death sentence.
No, that's not true. We should meet her first.
Judging from the situation,
I think it's unfair to end up with such a harsh sentence...
just because of a groundless suspicion or public sentiment...
You called us, right?
We're from Go Tae Rim Law Firm.
I'm Go Tae Rim!
And I'm Seo Jae In.
I really didn't do it.
No one believes me.
I'm not surprised. You're foolish enough...
to believe that your terrible act...
will stir up pity and bring anyone to your side.
Get me acquitted.
Motive, circumstantial, and physical evidence.
They all corroborate.
You're obviously the perpetrator.
Ms. Yoon. Did you murder Mr. Lee?
Even if you did,
the death penalty is excessive.
I'll try to get a lesser sentence...
Are you stupid?
I said I want to be acquitted.
Are you innocent then?
Get the kindergartener to shut up.
Heard that?
I really didn't kill him.
Then you were framed.
The issue isn't whether or not you committed murder.
It's how much you can pay me.
You buy justice with money.
100,000 dollars.
Your appeal's in progress.
You should've called me sooner.
- 200,000 dollars. - "Why do you defend that witch?"
When my face gets on TV,
people will throw eggs at me.
Some hot-tempered women might even slap me.
- 300,000 dollars. - 1.5 million.
That's too much.
You'll get life in prison even if you get a reduced sentence.
Think about spending the rest of your life in here.
It's not too much if you consider the long, boring sentence.
I don't have that much.
The villa you currently own...
is worth 700,000 dollars.
Your car and designer goods,
cash in your account can work things out.
Do you want me to be homeless and penniless as soon as I get out?
Your specialty is finding men...
worth their life insurance.
You're worse than I heard.
Aren't you just the same?
I'm your last resort.
700,000 dollars. I can't pay more.
We didn't have this talk.
Mr. Go.
Consider mass suicide...
with your incompetent lawyers.
At your final trial,
you'll get to hear another round of applause.
Ms. Yoon, if you're really innocent,
- I'll defend you... - Kindergarten is closing.
I was talking.
Fine. I have no choice.
I have no choice.
- Will you lean in? - Sure.
Not you.
Are you trying to seduce me?
You'll want to defend me for free once you hear my offer.
[VIU Ver] jTBC E12 'Legal High' "The Witch of the Century" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Well? 100,000 dollars plus my condition.
How can I believe that?
I'll send you something that'll make you believe.
Fine.
After I see that and decide I can believe you,
I'll accept your offer then.
300,000 dollars plus your condition.
Deal.
What was it?
What was what?
How did 1.5 million turn into 300,000 dollars?
You don't need to know.
No. I have the right to know.
I need to make a lot on this case to pay off my debt.
Now you care about money?
How about Ms. Speculation?
As a female lawyer who only cares about money...
What's the deal?
If we win this case,
I'll write off your debt.
Will you really?
Don't think about anything else but winning.
Okay?
Come with me. You should say hi.
Where? To whom?
Who do you think?
The enemy I'll attack...
with Shaolin Dharma's...
3,570 martial arts moves that I perfected.
We'll throw down the gauntlet.
Do you mean the prosecutor?
(Seoul Prosecutors' Office)
Why does he look so familiar?
You said we're meeting a prosecutor.
Why? Do you think he has a twin?
Then is it...
- It's been a while. - Gi Seok.
Are you actually a...
Are you a prosecutor?
I'm on probation.
I just assist on this case.
You took on the masters,
realized your incompetence,
and hung his tail to return home.
You need an official title...
to at least save some face.
Right. I'm not cut out to work in a field where greed comes first.
Switching over...
cleared the mist a bit from the road I'm on.
Your sight was blurry...
because you had severe glaucoma and cataracts.
Switching cars won't make driving any easy.
What? Now that you're a prosecutor, does the line...
between good and evil seem as clear as the center-line?
Will you stop it?
Are you working with Prosecutor Dong then?
Yes. He's an oddball like Tae Rim.
I think they'll get along.
Come with me.
This is them.
(Prosecutor Dong Han Gi)
Who are they?
They will defend Yoon Do Hee.
- I'm Go Tae Rim. - And I'm Seo Jae In.
I'm Prosecutor Dong Han Gi.
- Take a seat. - Go ahead.
(Prosecutor Dong Han Gi)
What do you want to know?
The grounds for the death penalty are a bit vague.
The defendant is a repeat offender of fraudulent marriages.
It's only circumstantial,
but we suspect she committed two previous murders.
This time, we have concrete evidence against her,
and she doesn't show any remorse at all.
That's why we had to give her an extreme sentence.
- It's as he said. - You say concrete evidence,
but there's only one thing. The toxic substance.
The substance used in the crime was found at your client's house.
We were lucky.
You were. Instead of throwing away...
evidence of the crime, she kept it.
You weren't just lucky. It was a miracle.
What is it you want to say?
I smell something.
It's the kind of smell that comes from...
food waste containing 5,780 colon bacillus.
What was your name?
Go Tae Rim.
I'm surprised that you don't know me.
He's known as Monster Pervert.
He literally is that.
I was away from Seoul for years.
Mr. Go.
I want to make Korea a better country.
For the peace and happiness...
of the children who will live in the future.
That's all.
Okay.
Monster Pervert?
Yes. I did my best,
but the client was adamant, and I had no choice.
Goodbye.
Why did Yoon Do Hee suddenly hire Monster Pervert?
I don't know. Maybe she heard rumors of him.
Did you mention him?
Why would I?
I still can't stand the fact that...
he took my case mid-trial.
The anger's enough to make my face freeze.
Are you sure?
Does it matter?
Criminal trials aren't my specialty.
Leaving it to me would almost guarantee a loss.
You just wanted me to put up a show.
- Lawyer Yoon. - Yes, Professor Song.
No, CEO Song.
You don't have to be so sly.
I was going to quit even before you asked me to.
My brother-in-law.
CEO Bang...
You kicked him out to replace him.
Why would I want to work for you?
I wish you good luck.
Since you're up against Monster Pervert,
you'll have quite a headache.
Monster Pervert.
Monster Pervert...
Did...
Yoon Do Hee...
You just won't listen.
That's so typical of you.
I know. I wanted to quit sooner,
but I stayed on to see if anyone badmouthed Mr. Bang...
or was going to betray him.
I got this far because he sponsored me and...
made me change my delinquent ways.
I forgot about that and stayed on.
You must think I'm a traitor.
Do you want to become one?
Will you grow up?
Anyone can throw a tantrum.
It's harder to stay and fight on.
Since Professor Song joined,
you worked harder, with more passion to keep your position.
You call that an excuse?
My gosh, wait.
- Don't move! - Don't throw it.
You're the best.
Gosh.
What?
Ms. Min.
Thanks for coming.
Gosh, why am I tearing up?
Gosh, seriously.
Why am I being such a loser?
Why am I crying?
Now, I won't have to date...
I won't have to date that bully. It's a good thing.
It's a really good thing.
There's something I'd like to say about the toxic substance...
that was found in the defendant's house.
Isn't it unnatural for a criminal to continue to keep the evidence...
in their house?
Could it be possible that someone secretly left it in her house...
in order to put the blame on her?
(Prosecution Counsels' Bench)
The defendant's house has a high-tech automatic lock system...
which means it is very secure.
Therefore, it is impossible for someone to break into her house.
That's probably why she thought it might be safe...
to keep the evidence in her house.
About her fingerprints that were found on the container...
We already addressed that during the first trial.
So what's your point?
We're just trying to say that it's unusual...
to go through every single detail from the first trial...
during an appeal.
I don't care about what's usual or not.
There's something wrong with what happened during the first trial.
So regardless of whether it's normal or not,
I think it's necessary for us to go over it very thoroughly.
Thanks.
I was very surprised to find out that you became a prosecutor.
I'm still on probation.
But may I ask why you wanted to talk to me?
We're fighting against each other in court,
so it's a little weird to be meeting each other like this.
Yes, you're right.
But there's something I wanted to talk about with you.
What's your opinion on the death penalty system?
The death penalty system?
That's a hard question.
Not many people get sentenced to death...
even if we do have a death penalty system.
I'm personally against it.
That's why I feel...
a little uncomfortable right now.
I don't really feel at ease.
Are you talking about Yoon Do Hee?
Yes, but there's no way that she's innocent.
Wouldn't it be the right thing...
to just focus on appealing for an extenuation...
to help her avoid getting sentenced to death?
That's what I also thought at first.
But as long as she keeps insisting that she's innocent,
I should believe her.
After all, I'm her attorney.
Even when there's no hope for you to win?
Mr. Go succeeded in turning the tables...
with a lot of hopeless cases.
He might not have the best personality,
but his competence is still pretty trustworthy.
You must've seen something.
It sounds like you found a side to him...
that I never managed to see.
I'm not sure.
Let's say it's something similar.
I guess I shouldn't have said what I said.
I'll see you in court.
Okay. See you.
Who is it?
Hello, I'm here for gas inspection.
Just a second.
Hello, I'm here for gas inspection.
Come inside.
When it comes to questioning the validity of the assumption...
that the poison container belonged to the defendant...
and the possibility of it having been brought in by someone else,
the prosecution claim...
that it would've been impossible because her place is very secure.
But let's see if that's really the case.
Witness, please come forward.
My name is Yoo Sang Min, and I'm a lecturer at a university.
Where do you live, sir?
I live in a villa in Songpa-gu named Sunrise Waikiki.
You live in the same villa...
- as the defendant. - Yes.
I asked you to bring anything unfamiliar from your house.
Did you bring anything by any chance?
Yes.
Here.
- What's that? - I'm not sure.
I brought it because I found it on my bookshelf.
But I've never seen it before.
Are you saying someone could've brought it inside...
without your knowing about it?
Well...
I guess that's the only possibility.
Thank you.
It was in my refrigerator.
It was in the bathroom.
It was on my bedside table.
Who do you think pulled such a prank?
But that's not what we should be focused on.
My point here is that the villa isn't highly secured...
and that things can be easily taken inside.
These are the defendant's fingerprints.
And these are the fingerprints from the poison container.
The results show a 100 percent match.
It's definitive that they're the defendant's fingerprints.
That is all.
Hey, what's this?
That's weird.
What's weird?
If you look right there,
there's a line on the fingerprint.
It looks like a cut mark.
That doesn't affect the reliability of the test results.
Is that so?
According to the defendant,
the police showed her the container during the interrogation...
and pretty much forced her to hold it with her hands.
Maybe that's when her fingerprints got smudged on the container?
That never happened.
Are you saying the police never made her hold the container?
- Of course. - Okay.
May I ask you something that's constantly been bothering me?
(Miranda Warning Confirmation)
- That's a testimony report. - Yes, I know that.
What I want you to focus on is this black thing on the bottom.
Maybe it's a stain from the copy machine?
It bothered me, so I took a look at the original copy.
And it turned out to be a bloodstain.
A bloodstain?
According to the defendant,
she got a paper cut...
right when she was about to sign the report.
And apparently, she bled a little.
That sometimes happens to me too.
Wait.
Goodness.
What's this?
The scar on this index finger...
is from the paper cut she got while trying to sign the report.
And that report was written after she got arrested...
which means her blood got stained after her arrest.
That means the fingerprints from the container only exists...
because she was forced to hold it during the interrogation.
And that concludes...
that the defendant's fingerprints...
were never on the container in the first place.
This shows that the police tried to fabricate evidence,
and the prosecutor that kept silent about this...
will also have to take responsibility.
This toxic substance is the most important evidence of this case.
And at the same time, it is the only material evidence that exists.
Because of this, the defendant got sentenced to death.
However, according to what's been proven,
the defendant's fingerprints on this container got smudged...
while she was getting interrogated after the incident took place.
And another important factor is that it's actually very easy...
for someone to secretly place something in the defendant's house.
So on what grounds are you claiming...
that this toxic substance belongs to the defendant?
With what evidence...
are you saying that the defendant is a murderer?
What kind of proof do you have to corner Ms. Yoon Do Hee...
as the witch of the century?
You have nothing. There's absolutely no evidence.
The police, the media, and everyone in our country...
easily jumped to conclusions and made her the criminal.
The evidence got fabricated to meet the conclusion...
that was already set for her.
How terrible is this, Your Honor?
The one and only thing that the defendant did wrong...
is that she was hated by everyone.
But if that's enough to make someone guilty,
we would no longer be living in a law-abiding country.
I'd rather believe...
that we're living in the Dark Ages...
when witch hunting was the norm.
Try to think carefully...
about how many people...
in the entire history of the judicial branch...
ended up in prison after getting falsely accused.
How many times are we going to repeat the same mistake?
However, I'd like to point out that it is not too late to fix that.
That is all.
Hot and cold. Cold and hot.
Anyway, I taught that prosecutor a serious lesson.
The tables have turned.
Now, they'll just ask you a few questions.
Now, all you need to do is squeeze every teardrop out of you...
and act like the heroine of a tragic story.
You haven't forgotten the conditions, right?
Don't you worry.
Even though I'm stuck here now,
I'd never lie about my life.
Mr. Gu, what's with that outfit?
Are you heading out to get groceries?
No, I'm not. I have a date.
What? You have a date?
That means we don't have to move, right?
My gosh. Thank you, Mr. Gu. Thank you so much.
But I must say, this outfit isn't appropriate for a date.
I agree. I always thought you were very stylish.
Why are you wearing an outfit like this?
A fantasy is only beautiful when it remains a fantasy.
The reality is always quite grim.
Today, I'm going to make her experience the gap.
Why ruin her fantasy?
You must make sure Ms. Oh continues to live in that fantasy world...
to help the firm.
I think I can understand why you're saying that.
I'll see you later.
Who knew? Mr. Gu is actually the bad boy type.
Oh, boy.
I'm sorry I'm a little late.
No, it's okay. I'm happy that you made it.
I like to ride my motorcycle from time to time.
All right, hop on.
Sorry?
It'll be uncomfortable for you because of your outfit.
Hang on. What should we do, then?
Well, then. I'll see you another time.
No, I'll hop on.
I'll go for a ride with you.
This restaurant serves the best sundaeguk in the area.
I see.
I already know that sundaeguk...
is the only thing that you can't eat.
You should give up now.
- Enjoy. - Thank you.
All right, let's eat.
I think having a similar taste in food...
is important in a relationship.
Right.
I'm sorry, Mr. Gu.
I actually...
can't eat sundaeguk.
My gosh, I'm sorry. I had no idea.
Mr. Gu, I had such a great time today.
I'm glad to hear that.
I'm sorry for all the trouble.
It must've been uncomfortable for you.
No, not at all. I felt as if I was...
the female lead of "Roman Holiday".
I'm relieved to hear that.
I was utterly devastated when I went to Italy...
after I lost my dear Thomas,
but you gave me solace and hope when I met you there.
I never got to thank you, so I'd like to say it now.
Thank you very much.
I'm glad to hear you got through those tough times well.
Well, then I'll see you again sometime.
Get home safely.
Wait, Mr. Gu.
Yes.
I don't want to say we'll see each other again "sometime".
What are you doing the day after tomorrow?
Pardon?
Well... I'll have to check my schedule.
I'll call you tomorrow to confirm. That's okay, right?
Yes, sure. Of course.
And I'm going to start practicing.
I'll practice and get used to eating sundaeguk...
so that we can enjoy sundaeguk together soon.
I'll be off, then.
What is it? What's it about?
You don't need to know.
You're not interested in the truth or knowing the real culprit anyway.
He's my informant.
Strictly speaking, he's an informant that works for the firm.
I, too, have the right to use his service.
I don't care who I work for as long as I get paid.
- I'll be off, then. - Me too.
You brats.
What was that about? What's happening in this office?
It seems like we're finally on the right track.
"On the right track"? You think this is right?
Of course.
Ms. Seo now plays a vital role in the firm.
And you obviously know that. That's why...
you no longer call her by names like Chirp Chirp and Tadpole.
Gosh, that's not true. I'm just on the lookout...
for a new nickname because I'm tired of those ones.
Anyway, I don't like this.
I feel like I'm being excluded.
What?
Am I already an outcast?
No way. Why would I be?
Mr. Gu! Tell me about your date.
Mr. Gu.
Apparently, this guy works at a pharmaceutical company...
and sells what he stole from work on the Internet.
The cyanic acid compound,
which was used in the murder, is also on the list.
Here's a photo of him.
Thanks, I Su. I'll go in, then.
(Speed Internet Cafe)
(Lawyer Seo Jae In)
Try and run off if you can.
If you want the police to put out an APB on you today, that is.
Darn it.
Let's see.
(Ledger)
(Blue Balloon)
I sold that compound to only one person.
- Who is that? - Someone very famous.
So who is it?
Goodness. It's obvious, isn't it?
Yoon Do Hee.
What do people call her these days? "The witch of the century"?
(Reserved for Civilians)
Na Cheol Jin.
You're under arrest for assaulting Lawyer Seo Jae In...
as well as assaulting and causing bodily harm...
to Lawyer Yoon Sang Koo.
You turned yourself in.
What?
Na Cheol Jin turned himself in? Out of the blue?
Okay, I'll leave right away.
Why isn't he picking up?
You'd better not ask for the money back later, Yoon Sang Koo.
Do I look like a total loser to you or what?
Once, I lost everything I owned in one night.
All right, the last card.
Good luck.
All right.
Oh, boy.
I'm all in.
Oh, my. This is turning into a big game now.
How much is all this?
You won't even look at the card?
Why? Are you worried about not being able to keep a poker face?
I'm both grateful and apologetic.
And I love you.
I shouldn't be here right now.
Hey, wait. Are you really going to give up?
No, I'm not giving up.
I'm really going to give it my best shot this time.
What's with that face?
- Pardon? - Why are you so absentminded?
Up until yesterday, you were all hyped up...
about finding the truth and the real culprit.
I'm just exhausted.
Why? Did he tell you that he sold the drug to Yoon Do Hee?
You knew that?
I thought you were finally on your way to becoming a proper attorney.
But you're back to square one.
Chirp Chirp, a chick that grows so slow like you...
could become a very popular pet around the globe.
Chirp, chirp.
There's no motive for him to frame Yoon Do Hee.
So?
What about the blogger from Kim Byung Tae's case?
What about Choi Hyun Ji...
who persistently claimed that she never went out with Hong Min Cheol?
What about Charlotte...
who told the judge that it was her first time meeting James Park...
on the day of Sophia's trial? Were they all honest?
- What? - How do you know...
whether he has a motive or not?
Your job is to find out what his motive could be.
And even if he did sell it to her,
why weren't her fingerprints on the container?
Do you not care about any of that?
If they are able to fabricate the evidence,
it would be easy to manipulate a witness.
Of course.
Do you think the prosecution wouldn't know about that dealer?
If you're going to get in the way of the case, just stay out of it.
What did Yoon Do Hee promise to give you?
It's none of your business.
Does it have...
anything to do with Sung Gi Jun?
No, it doesn't.
You always tell me not to care about the truth.
But aren't you the one who's been searching for the truth...
until this very moment?
What are you talking about? You're wrong.
It's because of what happened with Hankang New Materials, isn't it?
Don't touch my stuff.
I saw her.
I actually saw Yoo Ra in this office,
and I even talked to her.
There has to be a reason why she suddenly showed up before me...
when she died three years ago.
Why don't you just tell me everything?
I have the right to know.
(Legal High)
I'm no longer the man I used to be.
I'm going to find...
my love and my life.
Ms. Min.
Yes?
What's this?
I love you.
My goodness.
Are you okay?
I had a romantic comedy in mind.
But I got hit like an action film.
