A New Leaf (Repentance / Gaegwachunsun / 개과천선)

Hello, father.

Want to go fishing on the weekend?

I had some rods at home.

You don't like fishing?

Oh, you don't.

I thought you did.

Okay, I'll work.

Work it is.

You're still working?

Oh, I wanted to finish up the investigation.

There's some time before the Supreme Court trial.

Take your time.

I'll take care of it ASAP.

What?

You're acting like you'll leave soon.

I want to wrap things up before I do.

You had a look of betrayal on your face that day...

because the investigation data was used like that.

I felt betrayed by myself, not you.

I knew it would be used that way.

It wasn't like I didn't know.

I'd known all along.

That means...

I'd be a coward to say I didn't know.

I was hired thanks to Mr. Kim Seok Joo.

I heard.

That's how he worked here, too.

I did the investigation for the convenience store case.

It was used to cut prices.

Wasn't the slave contract revised afterwards?

Yes.

You can't change everything all at once.

If you take ten steps forward and nine back...

it doesn't seem like it...

but you're still making progress.

Yes.

Why'd you quit being a judge?

Did you like me better as a judge?

Yes.

How do you feel as a lawyer?

I haven't seen tons of cases yet...

but I think this case is particularly crazy.

It could be because we're up against Kim.

What do you think of a judge's job?

Well...

they're independent judicial entities.

You can use your conviction to make a ruling.

- It's cool... - It's a life of limits.

Everyone you know says you're busy working for the government.

They respect and treat you as an exception.

I can't even go to school reunions anymore.

I'd be chatting with someone line in the old days...

and suddenly they'll make a case request.

Then I have fewer and fewer friends each year.

Instead of more acquaintances...

it's the opposite.

I can only hang out with...

people who don't stir up suspicion.

You end up only socializing with the lawyers you know.

It's worth it...

...considering all the costs.

A judge's future is predetermined.

Supreme Court justice is the ultimate goal...

but lawyers have plenty of paths to choose from...

like becoming a minister.

After you leave...

...will you go to Mr. Kim?

I don't think he'll take me in.

I'll look into other intern positions.

I know he will...

since I would.

I hope he does.

I'm sorry, Mr. Jeon.

No worries.

I'll get going.

You're really quitting?

Yes.

You were adjusting so well.

Do you know how hard it is to get in here?

Other law school students would kill to get your job.

Thank you for everything.

Mr. Jeon is in court now.

Oh, I said bye yesterday.

I'm not biased against community colleges anymore, thanks to you.

I'm sorry you're leaving.

I know you gave me a great opportunity.

I'm sorry. Thank you for everything.

Goodbye.

Thank you for everything. Goodbye.

Take care.

These are the Supreme Court cases.

- [Supreme Court] - The ruling has to come from...

a department we're close with first.

Which cases are simple, quick and clear?

And that has the least impact on banks?

I'll find a few appropriate cases.

Let's look at the civil law researchers.

Here they are.

The department with those chief judges will be advantageous.

Judicial scholars' opinions are important.

The leaders' are especially crucial.

We need to use their logic to persuade the Supreme Court.

We got the civil law researchers...

during the reshuffle.

Still, there are other departments.

If they get a different ruling...

That's why it should be a Supreme Court en banc decision.

[ En banc decision: when 13 justices including the Chief Justice make a 2/3 majority ruling]

They should all share their opinions there... [ En banc decision: when 13 justices including the Chief Justice make a 2/3 majority ruling]

...and end all disputes there.

Since they'll all participate in the ruling...

rulings from other departments will naturally follow.

Isn't that risky? If there are strong minority opinions...

As long as it holds a majority, it'll be over.

There is no "next time."

You need to go for a single victory.

Got it?

I'll do my best.

Intern Lee?

Oh, Mr. Park!

What brings you here?

I had my second audition.

I came to see Seok Joo.

What about you?

I heard he opened his business, so I came to say hi.

Let's go up.

Sure.

I emailed 3 German translators. No reply.

How are you, Ms. Lee?

How've you been?

Good.

We meet again.

Oh, hi.

You know German, don't you?

You still remember?

Why?

Take a look at this ruling.

Deutsche Bank sold a low interest product to a small company...

where an unexpected decrease in the interest rate difference could...

...lead to a big loss for the company.

It's similar to the exchange rate product case.

That's the Supreme Court's ruling.

Where's Seok Joo?

There's high public interest...

in the results of the exchange rate product case.

Does Sun Hee work here now?

Did she resign?

I'm dissuading her.

Good.

Prosecutors like her keep this country functioning.

Doesn't she have work to do in the Criminal Trials Department?

Why does she come so often?

See if you can translate it.

Oh, this?

"For extremely complicated products..."

"...clients need to have the same level of intellect..."

"...as the selling banks."

The ruling that Deutsche Bank should...

pay the company 541,000 euros is key.

I can't do all of it.

I'll look for a professor who studied in Germany.

I'll check the legal terms with him.

Thanks.

You look excited.

Did you want to help me or see Sun Hee?

I want to help you.

Killing two birds with one stone...

Oh, Intern Lee came with me.

How are you?

What brings you here?

I heard you opened your business, so I came to say hi.

- Congratulations. - Thanks.

Did Mr. Jeon send you here?

Huh?

Take these. They're yours.

- - My clients didn't think it would be a big help during the trial...

but the companies were emotionally hurt.

What did he ask you to find out this time?

You're so mean.

Sun Hee.

Give me the files on the table.

Cha Young Woo's people mustn't see the confidential stuff.

If I'm disturbing your work, I'll get going.

Good thinking.

Just do your job as an intern.

I'll go get some coffee.

Come on. She has big dreams.

She seems to be having trouble there.

She doesn't fit in.

Interns should fit in anywhere.

That firm is the best training course for naïve ones like her.

She couldn't get into any other law firm.

It's too good for her. She should just adjust herself.

Oh.

This is the Milan vs. Bank case.

They've had it too?

Even in India...

It seems you haven't been interested in criminal cases...

...since you got assigned to the Criminal Trials Department.

I prepared so much data.
