MAY IT PLEASE THE COURT

EPISODE 4

All right.

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

Help me.

Mr. Jwa! Mr. Jwa! Mr. Jwa!

Open your eyes. Mr. Jwa!

You're awake!

Are you all right? Mr. Jwa Sibaek.

Jwa Sibaek?

Is that my... name?

What are you talking about? You don't remember?

Who am I?

And where am I?

Come on, you're starting to scare me. You really don't remember?

I'm joking.

Damn.

Jeez.

You do know that you're a weirdo, right?

I'm weird?

So are you.

I fell on my back.

So why is my nose bleeding?

An unlucky person will break their nose even if they fall on their back.

Well...

Oh, boy.

Here.

How many fingers?

It was one, but now it's two.

-Any headache, nausea, or dizziness? -No. Not at the moment.

You're fine, then.

If I start showing symptoms later, will you pay for my hospital bill?

I guess I'll have to.

Wait. I didn't think of it before.

But why are you here at this time of day? This is my place.

- Well... - Have you been stalking me?

-Just curse at me instead. -I mean,

how else could you have been here at that exact moment?

Are you an alien? Did you hear my voice and jump through space?

I did jump.

What?

That's my apartment.

What?

That's my apartment.

-What? -That's my apartment.

That's your apartment?

Yes.

Here's what happened.

You were having a can of beer,

then you suddenly started flying a stingray-shaped kite.

The kite got stuck in the power lines,

and you were making a fool of yourself trying to get it down.

I was watching you just out of sympathy.

There's this old saying.

"When you see a child playing alone near water..."

How long?

How long have you lived there?

For two years?

After dropping me off the other night, you drove off in the opposite direction.

Was that all just a show?

-Yes. -Why?

Hold up.

Because you didn't want to carpool with me?

Yes.

I can't believe this. Do you hate me that much?

No, I don't hate you...

This is ridiculous.

How do you even stand to work with me in the same office?

Well, that wasn't something I could help...

Forget it. I hate being around you too, so please leave.

Hold on a minute.

Look.

I just saved your life

and injured the back of my head and my nose in the process.

You should at least say thank you, don't you think?

Did I ask you for your help?

You did.

"Help me."

For goodness' sake.

Is he really an alien?

Well, so...

Thanks so freaking much. Happy?

-Yes. -Okay, then. Go.

-Fine. -Yes, go.

-I'm going. -Go on.

-I said I'm going. -Yes, so go.

-Yes, I'm going. -Go.

I'm going right now.

Just to avoid any misunderstandings,

when you're out here, I keep my curtains closed,

and I don't even go near my balcony, okay?

So, what I'm trying to say is don't worry...

Look. I get that you hate me. You don't have to tell me twice.

No, it's not that I hate...

Save it. Just go.

-Fine, I'm going. -Yes, go.

-Go on. -I said I'm going.

-For God's sake. -Go!

My head hurts.

You know what they say.

"If someone hates you for no reason, give them a reason to hate you."

You're going to give me a ride to work from now on, got it?

I don't hate you, Ms. Noh.

I just don't like you.

So why? Why don't you like me? Why?

God.

Just open the door.

Okay.

Ah!

And if you don't want to give me a ride every day, find a used car for me.

Something that makes me look down-to-earth.

Why a used car?

I told you. I had a revelation.

I left all my worldly desires behind at Jangsan.

Mm. Then what are those shiny things? They look expensive.

-Is that a Fen... -No. These are like souvenirs.

Souvenirs to remind me of how obsessed I was with earthly joys.

Pfft! Shall we?

Ms. Noh Chakhee.

I'm sorry about lying.

I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.

- I just... - Mr. Jwa.

I've met far more people who don't like me than those who do.

The fact that you don't like me doesn't particularly hurt my feelings.

Let's go.

All right.

KUMSHIN ELECTRIC

What?

Are you out of your damn mind?

You bastard!

Oh, no. Are you all right?

Uncle.

You still throw ashtrays in this day and age...

No, listen. This idiot told your wife that I signed a contract with CS

at a lower price.

She kicked me off the construction project

for the shopping mall in the business district.

Did she?

You think it's funny? Damn it.

Keep your wife under control, will you?

That damned woman has no manners.

Uncle.

Please watch what you say if you don't want to sound ignorant.

Pfft.

Listen.

You've got to convince your wife for me.

Or we could have dinner together.

I have to get in on this shopping mall construction.

Before I do, I want you to find someone for me.

God, Hyunsik.

How did he end up like this?

Do you have a suspect?

The guy who went to prison before.

I think his name was Dongpil.

Dongpil, Dongpil...

Ah! You mean Lee Dongpil?

I want you to find him.

Why?

You think he's the one who did it?

I'm not sure.

Maybe he did.

Or maybe he will.

Mr. Han, what are you doing over there?

You see,

my wife just started having contractions.

She's having our first daughter. I have to get to the hospital,

but I can't seem to remember.

I don't remember how to drive.

I have to get to my wife, but I don't remember how.

The hospital called.

She had a healthy baby girl.

They're both doing well. Don't worry, and let's go back inside.

Is that true?

Yes.

I'll take you to see them later.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you.

But, sir.

Who are you, and why are you being so nice to me?

I said I'm Noh Chakhee, a lawyer.

Sir. I'm your lawyer, remember?

Ah! Miss Noh, who made me coffee at the office the other day?

"Miss Noh..."

Well...

You've been fined two million won

for sending obscene pictures to a young mother in her 30s.

You need to come down here for a consultation.

I don't know anything about that. I didn't do it.

Yes. You think it's unfair, right?

Then come in and talk with me.

I'm a busy man. Don't make me come and go!

You take care of it, Miss Noh.

If you don't come, you'll have to pay two million won.

I didn't do it, so why would I have to pay that money?

If you don't want to, come in for the consultation!

You make it go away, Miss Noh!

If I'm fined, I will sue you!

God.

Ms. Noh.

Yes?
