One Dollar Lawyer (One Thousand Won Lawyer / Cheonwonjjari Byeonhosa / 천원짜리 변호사)

ONE DOLLAR LAWYER

Where is this place?

We're here for a case.

- A case? - Yes.

Did we get a case already?

It's not already.

I finally feel ready.

Let's go.

Three, four, five, six,

seven, eight, nine…

I told you not to come in...

Hi. Long time no see.

What… what are you doing…

Did you miss me?

What's with that face?

You don't look like you missed me that much, do you?

State your purpose.

There's an old saying,

"Know your enemy and know yourself, and you'll never be defeated."

I'm not saying this to show off my knowledge.

You see, I took some time to get to know myself.

From now, I'd like to get to know

CEO Cha Minchul of Cayman Fund.

I came here to tell you that.

Let's be friends from now on.

- What the heck is on your mind? - My mind?

Nothing, really.

We just ran out of paper in our office. I came to borrow some loose leaf.

How nice. Thanks for sharing.

By the way, that guy you call your boss…

He talks like this, "Hello." You know that guy.

Tell him

that I'm back.

Why do you have so much money?

I won't take it.

Bye. Let's go.

Come on. He's a scary guy.

He'll pull a knife on you.

Mr. Cheon.

Wasn't that man Cha Minchul?

Yes, that's right.

Isn't he the man who did that to Ms. Lee Juyeong?

Yes.

Mr. Cheon.

So, why did we just leave?

Don't you feel anything?

What should I do then? Should I beat him up or something?

Take this.

You saved money on paper thanks to me, right?

If one has committed a crime, they must be punished accordingly.

That's justice.

Juyeong would want that too.

HAPPY REFORM, HAPPY CITIZENS

I won't do it.

Of course, not. I totally understand.

You said I could get out. You're the one who broke your promise.

I did say you could get out if we caught Cha Minchul.

That's why I'm back here.

I'm here to give you a chance to get out by applying for a retrial.

If I do that, are you confident you could win the case?

You're asking me if I could win?

Never mind then.

Don't do it.

We can simply find another way.

What?

I told you there's a chance to get out but you don't want it.

Then there's nothing I can do.

- I'm leaving. - Leave.

- Should we really go? - Really go.

Just go.

I guess we should go.

I meant we should go for a retrial.

Let's go for a retrial.

He's so annoying.

- What is he saying? - What did you say?

Did I say something?

The legal fee.

The legal fee is 1,000 won.

And we don't accept credit cards.

ONE DOLLAR LAWYER

- Did you prepare the material well? - Of course.

You're late, Mr. Seo.

I'm sorry.

What's up with the atmosphere here?

Didn't your father tell you about it?

He told me to eat beforehand.

- Never mind that. Mr. Seo. - Yes?

Just endure it, okay?

- Endure what? - Just endure it.

He's the biggest client of Law Firm Baek. Got it?

You must be from Law Firm Baek.

- Yes. - Please come in.

It's so stuffy.

Wouldn't it have been nice if it were like this from the start?

Sir, the lawyers from Baek are here.

So, you're from Law Firm Baek.

Thanks for making time.

One moment.

There's someone I haven't seen before.

- He's Mr. Seo's son. - I see.

Nice to meet you.

Please help handle this case.

Here are the latest matters at JQ Bank.

Good. These aren't bad.

The earnings are quite high too.

All right, everyone.

Since we're up against someone dangerous, our public office might be dangerous.

So, we should gather here from now on.

You've been chasing this by yourself

for this whole time?

Yes, isn't that amazing?

Yes, it is.

It's very amazing.

Your home is even more amazing.

You've been living very well in this luxurious home by yourself,

so why did we always have to get jjajangmyeon ?

Why are you getting upset? Hmm.

Since you came over to my house,

I'll order jjajangmyeon for you.

You liked jjajangmyeon this whole time. Don't get upset.

Don't be mad.

- Sweet and sour pork. - Sweet and sour pork? Okay.

Mari, do you want sweet...

Mari's grandfather would never do such a thing.

He's out.

What?

Did you know that?

Know what?

That he's my grandpa.

Do you think I'm stupid?

Law Firm Baek. Baek Mari.

It was too easy.

Mari.

Mr. Baek…

definitely isn't involved.

Mr. Cheon Jihun, I believe…

in the greed and selfishness of man.

The results were always decided

for everything that I had believed in up until now.

What about you?

I believe in man's kindness and altruism.

Unlike you,

I believe in things where the results aren't decided.

I'm sure you do.

That's why I sent Mari to you.

I realized that too late.

It's already too late.

Since you're back,

please guide my Mari well.

Do you happen to know this man?

CHA MINCHUL

I remember him.

I think I met him at a JQ party about a year ago.

Thank you, sir.

About what?

I thought you were involved in a case that I had to resolve.

But now, I'm certain that you aren't.

What is it about?

It's about Juyeong's death.

Are you sure?

Yes, I'm sure.

I looked into it. You don't have to worry.

You must think rationally, you know.

Since he's the CEO, he has to be realistic.

But being realistic and being bad are not the same thing.

Even after a year, you're still 85 points. You don't change.

So, how are you going to prove Cho Wooseok's innocence?

There was a CCTV camera here.

When Cha Minchul was on the subway,

Cho Wooseok was having drinks at a bar in Paju.

Then, he had a clear alibi.

How did Cho Wooseok become the suspect?

It isn't foolproof with just one piece of evidence.

You've seen that while working at Law Firm Baek for a year.

Therefore, this evidence might not hold weight in court either.

Will you look for more proof then?

No, I'm going to use this as bait.

- Bait? - Bait?

Yes, bait.

This time was nice too.

- Nice shot. - Nice shot.

Nice shot!

Nice shot!

Nice shot!

CHEON JIHUN

What are you up to?

What do you mean by that?

Oh.

Don't get nervous.

I'm a lawyer.

- You don't act like a lawyer at all. - Talk like that and I'll get upset.

And by the way…

I decided to take on Cho Wooseok's retrial.

He asked me to prove his innocence.

You don't seem to believe me.

Look. Doesn't he look good in this picture?

When you were on the subway, he was at a bar in Paju.

There are CCTVs everywhere these days.

Bad guys can't do bad things anymore.

- Do you think this is enough? - Do you think that's all I prepared?
