THIS DRAMA IS PURELY FICTIONAL AND IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH

ACTUAL PEOPLE, INCIDENTS, ASSOCIATIONS, OR LOCATIONS

The so-called "White Scandal."

The politicians who were involved with this scandal...

Unlike Secretary Lee's claim that it was a fair investment...

The prosecution is targeting those in power,

and they aim to stop

-white-collar crimes... -A start-up company named Tech

funded by White Venture has been raising an issue.

From what I heard, the Civil Affairs Secretary

has been pressuring large corporations to invest in a certain venture capital.

Yes, that's correct. The Civil Affairs Secretary is known

to have pressured large corporations to invest five billion

-to 30 billion won. -I'm sorry.

But I don't recall any of that.

You obviously planned this with politicians and government officials!

I only attended the meeting because I was asked to do so last minute.

Your cousin got the investment.

I had no idea.

I got so angry as I watched the hearing.

This really devitalizes people like me who have no money or connections.

This is so unfair.

I feel so enraged by all this as a citizen of our country.

The Civil Affairs Secretary has appointed an attorney from Song & Kim,

where many former judges are currently employed.

-Let's go. -Okay.

Do you own some of the company shares?

Did you benefit from the investment?

Is she going to plead guilty?

How are the Civil Affairs Secretary and Tech related?

Please comment.

-Any comment? -Give us your opinion.

-What do you think? -Please tell us.

The Civil Affairs Secretary is having her first trial today,

and we expect an intense dispute between the prosecution and attorney.

PROSECUTION

The problem is that White Venture

was pressured to invest in Tech.

This is an abuse of authority.

Can you prove that there was pressure?

Evidence number ten: a meeting record from White Venture.

It says they were pressured by the Blue House--

But I don't see the secretary's name on the meeting record.

The Civil Affairs Secretary was in charge of Tech's investment.

Evidence number 12 presented by the prosecution.

This was confiscated from the Blue House.

But where exactly did you get this?

The Civil Affairs Office or the Economic Affairs Office?

That will fluster Prosecutor Kwon.

Prosecutor, please answer the question.

The Economic Affairs Office.

Then there's no evidence to prove that Secretary Lee put pressure to invest.

DEFENDANT

Evidence number five.

This shows that Tech wasn't doing well financially.

If it weren't for the defendant, Secretary Lee,

-White Venture would never have-- -They got investors

because they needed financial help.

Tech is a start-up company.

Evidence number 150.

Here's a list of other companies that invested in Tech.

White Venture wasn't the only company that invested in them.

PATENT APPLICATION

Evidence number 160.

This is a patent application regarding Tech's technology.

They haven't obtained a patent yet. They only applied for one.

Even so, the investors saw their future.

The executives of White Venture chose to invest in Tech.

The defendant, Secretary Lee, had nothing to do with the investment.

-That's nonsense. -Unbelievable.

-What is he saying? -He's being absurd.

Silence!

Please be silent.

Attorney.

Give us your closing argument.

The prosecution has only been repeating the suspicions

that were presented at the hearing.

However, this is a trial, not a hearing.

Based on the law of evidence,

we've gone through each and every element of crime,

and nothing actually proves that the defendant is guilty.

Your Honor...

I plead the defendant innocent

regarding all the charges indicted by the prosecution.

SECRETARY LEE ACQUITTED ON HER FIRST TRIAL

SONG & KIM'S CLEAN SWEEP

WHAT WENT WRONG WITH THE WHITE SCANDAL?

NO MORALITY

PUBLIC POLL 75 PERCENT

The appeal hearing of Secretary Lee

will be held pretty soon.

As much as the public was dissatisfied with her acquittal on her first trial,

people are paying attention to the court's ruling.

After going through the grounds for the prosecution's appeal,

we've concluded that the defendant is innocent of all charges

such as abuse of authority, bribery, blackmailing, coercion,

the testimonies made in the National Assembly,

and the appraisal that was made regarding the investment.

Therefore, the prosecution's appeal has been dismissed.

-Seriously? -My goodness.

-Trial dismissed. -What is this nonsense?

-She can't be innocent. -This is unbelievable.

-Good work. -Thank you.

-You really are the best at Song & Kim. -I won't deny that.

Thank you.

Don't forget to show people that you're sorry.

-She's here. -There she is.

-Are you satisfied with the ruling? -Please tell us how you feel.

The public are enraged by the ruling.

-What do you think of this? -How do you feel?

-What do you have to say about this? -The public are enraged by the ruling.

PROSECUTION'S APPEAL ON CIVIL AFFAIRS SECRETARY DISMISSED

What is it? Are the comments that harsh?

"The legal system in this country is broken.

Her attorney has become a slave to authority.

The judge played along.

The legal system is trash. I bet they planned everything beforehand."

I love it!

This just proves that I won.

That's right. This is our victory.

"Our"?

-"Our"? -Forget it.

Okay, fine. It's your victory. Happy?

I was just lucky that you love me enough to put me on the team.

I don't love you.

I only needed your information.

You make it so hard for me to like you.

Anyway,

this is the perfect song for us to celebrate.

"DOUBLE UP" BY DRUNKEN TIGER

What do you think? Do you hear your legal fee skyrocketing?

You really have a lousy taste in music.

EPISODE 1

Is Dosol Corporation still occupied by the labor union?

-Yes, it's been over a month. -Send me the lawsuit,

application for provisional attachment, and criminal complaint

so we can file a suit as soon as the deforcement is over.

-Okay, sir. -What about Sia Logistics?

The guy we're dealing with is living in Spain.

Take it down a notch.

Let him take a break. You won a case today.

Is this how you were able to become the youngest partner at Song & Kim?

I thought it was all thanks to my family.

Who says that?

Some say it's because I'm close with Mr. Song.

What kind of jerk would say that?

The jerk whose voice is trembling right now.

It's Mr. Ha of Issume Holdings.

That crazy jerk.

Who's that?

Oh, him? He's Attorney Yoon Hee-jae.

-What? -His name is Yoon Hee-jae.

-Yoon Hee-jae? -Yes.

How good is he?

He was in charge of the White Scandal case.

He also won the appeal.

He was in charge of that case?

That's all I've been hearing on the news.

Yes, it'll probably stay that way for the next couple of days.

Me?

Then who else? Do you see anyone else in this room?

Why all of a sudden?

I guess he suddenly wants a different attorney.

I'm sure you already know that he's a very important client of our firm.

Are you sure about this, Mr. Ma?

Do you really want me to be in charge of Issume Holdings?

You won't be in charge of Issume Holdings. To be exact,

you'll only be in charge of Mr. Ha's divorce suit.

It's nothing more than that.

You want me to know my place?

This suit is pretty much a win.

You should consider yourself lucky.

Okay, sure.

I look forward to receiving your help.

Who knows? We might end up working together after the divorce suit.

Hey, it's me. I need your information right now.

I heard Mr. Ma was totally against it.

Mr. Choo got kicked off the team, so he was obviously pissed.

-Then why? -Why do you think?

Mr. Ha asked for you, so he had no choice.

No way.

Were you rude to him on purpose? Did you do it to catch his attention?

-I said hello. -You did this.

-Anyway... -Yes?

They're expecting to win.

That's exactly why he's upset.

You'll be taking the credit for all their hard work.

I have some extra information.

Set me up on a blind date with one of your girlfriend's friends.

-Is this a negotiation? -Yes.

Forget it.

Mr. Gong is going to the States.

That means the steering committee will have one vacant seat available.

What do you say? It's huge, isn't it?

You've gathered a lot of information on Lee Seo-u,

so we have enough evidence.

You'll be able to obtain parental rights and custody of your son

without the division of property.

You see,

I've already heard that from all the other attorneys.
