MAY IT PLEASE THE COURT

What's this?

What is this?

EPISODE 5

These clothes aren't mine.

BASED ON THE ESSAY MAY IT PLEASE THE COURT BY JUNG HYEJIN

No way, is this Jwa Sibaek's...

You're up.

I can see my rooftop over there, which means this is your place, right?

Yes.

Yes.

Why am I here wearing your clothes?

Don't you remember? The pork rind place?

The pork rind...

Yeah!

Looks freaking tasty, right?

Hurts, doesn't it?

Are you ashamed of me? Are you?

All right. Giddy up! Giddy up! Giddy up!

I'm not sure. I don't seem to remember. Not at all.

You really don't remember anything?

Nothing at all?

No, I don't.

You really...

don't remember a thing?

No.

-(machine whirring) -What on earth happened?

I mean why was I at Jwa Sibaek's place wearing his clothes?

This is driving me insane.

If I ask him, he'll never let me forget what kind of drunk I am.

Mr. Do.

So...

A man and a woman went out for drinks.

But the woman blacked out, and the next day,

she woke up in the man's bed, wearing his clothes.

What do you think happened that night?

What is the woman like?

She's unbelievably smart, beautiful, and cool.

No, I mean, what's she like when she gets drunk?

Is she the type who sleeps quietly?

Or is she the type who throws tantrums and causes trouble?

I'd say she gets completely wrecked.

Then I'd say the guy was a gentleman.

Why?

He brought a hammered woman back to his house and changed her clothes too.

Isn't that kind of insidious?

Then should he just leave the drunk woman out on the street?

Besides, he probably didn't know her address.

And it's not like he could leave her at a motel all alone.

What if he knows where she lives? What if her place is right next to his?

Then, he probably couldn't find her key or didn't know her entry code.

Her clothes, remember? Why did he change her out of her clothes?

Don't you think that's the point where we can presume

he had some sort of treacherous intentions?

Something had to be wrong with her.

I mean, you just said she's the type to get wrecked. Right?

And?

When someone gets wrecked,

-they relieve themselves everywhere. -Enough.

No, forget it. That's impossible. It's not that.

People do unbelievable things when they're drunk.

Stop, that's enough!

Man.

Is that what happened?

Ms. Noh.

Did you drink a lot yesterday after Junwoo's mother's trial?

Did I?

It's not like me to drink until I black out like that.

Well, I think you did that because you trust Mr. Jwa.

You think so?

What do you mean?

I was talking about my friend.

I know.

I mean it. I was talking about my friend.

Of course, you were.

So did you reach Ms. Choi Yoonjung?

Yes. I mean, no.

I kept calling her, but she wouldn't pick up.

I mean, today is her trial. Why isn't she picking up?

-(Youngsoo cackles) -Come on, really.

My goodness. -(line ringing)

-Hey, stop laughing! Man.

Okay.

-(camera shutters clicking) -(siren wailing in distant)

911 EMERGENCY SERVICES KOREA CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION

Hello?

It's President Yoon Seokgu of Kumshin Electric.

I'm sure it's the same guy who killed CEO Cho Hyunsik.

This could turn into serial murders...

Keep up the good work.

Hey, what's going on?

Hold up.

What are you doing?

I'm Yoo Kyungjin from Major Crime Investigation Division.

It seems that anyone can join Major Crime?

Hey, bring her a bag. She might throw up when she sees this.

He had spicy beef soup.

Let's talk at the station.

What?

Damn it. I need to eat.

Let's do it now. Let's talk now!

It's obvious.

-(pen clicks) -Jwa Sibaek had been tailing Cho Hyunsik.

He waited until he spotted a chance, and then he went in for the kill!

If what you said is true, he would've beaten Noh Chakhee to death.

You're right. In most murder cases, the motive is usually money or women.

But I've never seen a guy stab the other man

when they completely lose it.

Whether the alleged affair is real or not, many of them actually go for the girl.

Then Jwa Sibaek must be the kind of guy who blames the other man.

You threw around a lot of statistics when we were talking about the motive,

so why do you make an exception for the gender of the victim?

Come on. This is ridiculous.

In order for your presumption to make sense,

Jwa Sibaek and Noh Chakhee must be deeply in love.

So much so that he would completely lose it and murder someone. Okay?

That's the premise we'd have to work off of.

So are they in a relationship? Did they sleep together?

I mean...

How am I supposed to know about their personal lives in such detail?

Okay, fine.

But look at this.

They live right next to each other.

This is practically living together.

They're obviously in a relationship,

so Jwa Sibaek must have followed Noh Chakhee

when she was with Cho Hyunsik!

Detective Jung, sir.

Ma'am.

Oh, man. You're awfully fussy. Damn.

Thank you very much for your fun little story.

It must be tough for you.

SOUTHERN DISTRICT POLICE STATION

-How dare he talk down to me like that? -(phone ringing)

This morning, at a golf resort in Gyeonggi Province,

the president of an electric company, Mr. Yoon,

was found murdered, shocking the local residents.

According to a police source,

Mr. Yoon was found in his underwear with his hands and feet tied.

He's presumed to have been tortured prior to his death.

We'll now go to our reporter, who is at the scene of the crime.

I'm standing next to this water hazard, where Mr. Yoon, a man in his 60s,

was found dead.

The police shut down the water hazard to conduct a crime scene investigation...

I signed the contract.

You do know the terms, right?

What do you wish to know, Ms. Oh?

Did my husband kill CEO Cho?

How would I know something like that?

Is there a reason why he'd want to kill him?

Now that's something I might actually know.

I don't think we should discuss this over the phone though.

Let's set a date.

We have to finalize the contract for the shopping mall construction anyway.

President Yoon Seokgu...

Why are you so surprised?

It's nothing.

He was murdered early this morning.

I saw it on TV. It was on the news.

I heard you met with him.

How did you...

He told me.

The night before he died.

I heard you asked to sign a new contract.

I did.

But we couldn't agree on the terms, so I called it off.

Is that so?

Haran.

Come on in.

Let's go to the study.

-(bottle clinks) -(whiskey sloshing)

Gido.
