Solomon's Perjury (솔로몬의 위증)

I don't even think of you as a human being.

You're just a bug filled with desires and instincts.

Lee So-woo didn't kill himself.

I saw it!

Lee So-woo has been murdered by Choi Woo-hyuk.

I'd like to open a school trial regarding the Lee So-woo incident.

Tell us your alibi on the night of the incident.

You should ask the witnesses themselves! They're right there!

Choi Woo-hyuk is lying!

His alibi is a total lie!

Kim Dong-hyuk!

I saw it, I saw it myself!

This says that I saw him commit suicide. I'll testify, too.

I won't let you lie in court anymore.

Do you think that was my only lie?

Hey, Han Ji-hoon!

You're making me bored!

I told you.

I have no time to play during testing periods.

You don't even have to try that hard.

You can live your life

doing whatever you want.

Well...

I want to study right now but I can't.

Because of someone.

Maybe I come here too often.

I feel like I know everything in this room.

You can go to my dad's study.

You'll probably find books you like.

The thick and difficult ones.

There?

I can go there?

Just read them and put them back.

Thanks, buddy!

Hey, Lee So-woo!

Hey Ji-hoon, did you eat dinner?

I got us sushi!

Yes, from the place you like.

Okay.

(Jeong-guk High School Jeong-guk Foundation)

Ji-hoon, are you here?

Ji-hoon?

Oh, hello, So-woo.

- Hello. - Hey.

Were you reading in there?

Hello, dad!

Can So-woo eat dinner with us?

Of course! We'll eat together.

Go ahead and start eating, I'll join you.

Okay. Let's go.

One second, wait for me.

(Solomon's Perjury Episode 7)

Hello, my name is Kim Min-seok from Class 2-1. I am the presiding judge

of this trial.

Thank you all for being in attendance.

- Seo-yeon! - Prosecutor! Take your seat.

- Prosecutor! - Seo-yeon!

Seo-yeon!

I just came to see.

I wanted to see the school one last time.

You didn't have to overreact.

I...

Believe you.

Isn't that what you wanted from the beginning?

It wasn't about punishing Choi Woo-hyuk.

It wasn't about protecting yourself.

You just wanted someone to believe you.

Sending the letter of accusation and

posting up videos...

All this time...

You were asking people

to believe you.

I'm sorry.

I realized it too late.

I know it's just this one last time.

But thanks for coming to the trial.

I wish you the best wherever you'll be.

And forget everything that happened here.

Don't be stupid.

Do you think you can forget something like that?

Why would you say that to someone who's running away?

Just so you can feel better about yourself?

Just so you'll feel less guilty!

You're selfish until the very end.

I...

I'll testify.

- What? - That's why I came here.

To put an end to it before I leave.

Joo-ri.

What?

- Exit the court room? - Yes.

Choi Woo-hyuk shouldn't be in the same room while Lee Joo-ri is testifying.

It's an official request.

We barely got Choi Woo-hyuk to sit there!

Now you want us to get him out?

- It's not like calling over a puppy! - You never know what he'll do!

Don't you remember what happened to Kim Dong-hyun?

We got more security because of it, the athletic ones.

It affects her psychologically, too.

It's hard for her to testify when the defendant is sitting there.

That's true. You won't be able to badmouth Choi Woo-hyuk in front of him, either.

The defendant is part of this school trial, too.

- He has the right to hear the testimony. - We are also responsible for her safety.

- Lee Joo-ri's taking the stand? - Yes.

But you want me out of the room?

Yes.

- Where is she? - Choi Woo-hyuk!

She should testify to my face, not scheme behind my back!

Are you going to scream like that every time?

I'm angry, I can't help it!

You're not angry.

You're not angry, you're hurt.

You just don't know how to express it.

Nonsense!

How can you possibly know how I feel?

Lee Joo-ri is an absolutely necessary witness for this trial.

She'll have to testify whether you're there or not.

It's up to you to be patient while she speaks in front of you, or to stay away.

Think about it.

He's so annoying.

We'll start the examination.

The prosecutor's first witness, please.

You may enter.

Hey, judge!

Why isn't Choi Woo-hyuk here?

We decided to hear the witness's testimony without the defendant's presence.

Prosecutor, you may start.

Yes.

People...

They're all staring at me.

- What? - What does she mean, make everyone leave?

Relax, they're focused in hearing what you have to say.

You're an important witness.

I feel like a spectacle.

What should we do then?

Should we bring something in to cover your face?

I won't allow it.

Lee Joo-ri. I'm Han Ji-hoon, the defense counsel of Choi Woo-hyuk.

We've made the defendant leave the room based on your request.

That request wouldn't hurt the trial process

But to have your face not shown while you answer the questions

is a different story.

How's it different?

It may give the impression that you want to hide something.

At least for me,

I'd feel that way.

I...

Have nothing to hide.

So boring, you're taking all her whining!

Hey!

You think you're famous? Popular?

I don't even know who you are.

There's not much to see here.

That's true, you're worried for no reason!

Just do it! I'll close my eyes for you.

I have no idea who you are either.

You want the attention? But we've never even known your existence!

You're a liar.

Of course you know who I am! You're lying!

The leper.

The virus.

The acne monster.

On the Internet and in classroom for 2 years,

you've trampled me with those words.

And now you need me and say that you've never done those things?

You don't know me? You?

Joo-ri.

Fine.

I did lie.

I lied and said that Park Cho-rong saw it.

I lied and said that she wrote the letter.

But it's not my fault!

I had no choice.

No matter how important it is...

If I were to say it,

no one would hear me out.

No one would believe me.

Because I'm Lee Joo-ri.

We're all here so we can fix it.

So we can hear you out and believe you.

We want to start over from the beginning.

Joo-ri.

I'm going to do this examination well.

I'm going to ask every detail and find out the truth,

so no one will doubt you anymore.

Can you do it?

Lee Joo-ri!

You can do it, right?

Start.

The witness must swear an oath as written there.

Raise your right hand and swear an oath.

I swear

that I will follow my conscience and

not hide anything or add anything

to the truth, and speak the truth only.

I swear this oath.

Oh, you're here.

How's the trial going?

She's the first witness, Lee Joo-ri.

She's the one who wrote the letter of accusation, right?
