The Client (의뢰인 / Eui-roi-in) (의뢰인)

HAN Cheol-min?

HAN Cheol-min, right?

It's him.

You're under arrest for the murder of your wife.

You have right to remain silent and hire a lawyer.

Let's go.

Come on.

Watch your head.

The Client

Between midnight and 1 a.m. On December 9th 2010

HAN Cheol-min killed his wife at home.

Using his silver SUV

he dumped the body somewhere unknown.

Around 5 a.m.

He came back to the scene.

The police apprehended him red-handed.

HAN was suspicious of his wife's infidelity.

She asked for a divorce 4 days earlier.

And that gave him motive.

HAN is denying his crime.

But the prosecution says

they have enough evidence

to support his charge.

Wow.

What's your cut?

It's 5:5, as always.

You're kidding me.

Will you take HAN's case, or not?

Not interested.

He's insisting on you to represent him.

Did you know him?

No.

Why bother with a case you can't win?

I understand. There isn't even a body.

This kind of case has two precedents.

Did it happen inside? Or outside?

For the former, without hard evidence

it's all circumstantial and you have no case.

The suspect walks.

Even if the body turns up later

double jeopardy is prohibited.

What about the latter?

If the killer is human, there's always evidence.

Then it's easier to put the story together.

Mostly guilty.

The prosecution says he planned it.

If it's true, 18 years at least.

Any possibility HAN might confess?

I know.

That would knock some years off.

You know what he needs?

Pro bono.

Wait, KANG.

Okay. Let's make it 6:4.

What are you, his agent?

Fine.

It's 7:3.

That is

KANG!

She's out!

Calm down, guys.

Be careful.

I'll take questions.

Why do you keep quiet about a sex video?

That's not the issue here. This is a libel suit.

Her agent scarred the life of an innocent actress.

Ouch!

Don't step on my foot.

Is there a sex video?

That's not important. Watch it, guys.

- What's the truth? - I will tell you.

It's the prosecution's job to uncover the truth.

Everything about the case is on my website.

I've watched the video!

It's WWW

- Move it! - Hold on.

Come on, guys.

What a clown.

This jerk is AHN's friend?

Get out of here, PARK.

Sir.

That PARK is a fucking joke.

This kid is representing HAN Cheol-min?

Not decided yet.

Why does he keep fucking with us?

Shit.

When he was with us, he was good.

Better than you?

Why did he quit?

He took on a murder case of this Vietnamese girl.

And he was accused of using violence.

Soon he quit.

Now he's running a circus.

I'm late for a rehearsal.

They will be mad.

God, I have bags under my eyes.

My head hurts. I drank too much last night.

You sure did.

Will they appeal?

Never.

- Hurry, I'm showering. - I'm done.

Hello?

HAN fucked up.

What?

He tried to kill himself.

- Why? - You don't know?

I would at least meet him. You're a bad lawyer!

God, it's cold.

What took you so long?

When'd you get here?

A while ago.

Let's go. I've seen enough.

You wore that suit yesterday.

I know.

So what? What do you care?

You're so nosy.

He kills his wife and dumps the body.

And he comes back with a gift to the scene crowded by cops?

It was their anniversary.

He's a total psycho.

Let's take the stairs.

Married for 3 years. No kids.

He works at a film developer's.

When the cops got here

they saw nothing but a blood bed.

A DNA test confirms it's wife's blood.

She's dead for sure.

No signs of forced entry.

Any evidence?

Nothing.

The body is gone. So is the murder weapon.

Everything is circumstantial.

So it's a puzzle without pieces.

Is this CCTV on the evidence list?

No.

Hi.

I'm investing HAN's case.

Did the cops take CCTV footage?

They did.

It's stored in file, right?

Sure.

You still have it?

We delete everything past a month.

All right. Thanks.

This might be fun.

There's an eye witness.

Isn't HAN strange?

I don't know.

Here's what makes the case so complicated.

No fingerprints or DNA of his found in his apartment.

Does it make sense?

Not a single hair of his in his own place?

Right.

And here's the shocker.

He has no fingerprints. All 10 of them.

Your hand.

Let me.

Okay.

Your wife had a lover?

Yes.

How did you know?

I've seen her on the phone with him.

And my gut feelings.

Is that what you said to the police?

Yes.

You know the guy?

No.

Why is that missing in the police report?

Sir?

Do you believe me?

Pretty much. I believe everybody.

Mr. HAN.

People often ask me that.

It doesn't matter whether I do or not.

I will just focus on getting what we want.

It won't be easy without his confession.

Cause AHN is on this?

What about him?

He's a hard nut to crack.

I couldn't care less.

Out.

In.

Out.

In!

What are you, a blind?

Fine.

His wife had a lover, but it's not in the report.

If it's true, her lover is a key suspect.

We should utilize this.

Let's try to make a deal with it.

Would he confess?

I will talk him into it if it looks good.

If he killed on impulse without intent?

We'll go for manslaughter.

That will take a lot of years off.

Prosecutor AHN? It's been a while.

Good.

How's life treating you?

A plea bargain?

Listen to yourself.
