Delayed Justice (Fly Dragon / Fly From Rags To Riches / Narara Gaecheonyong / 날아라 개천용)

(Night of December 2009, at Suwon Hyosung High School)

The defendant...

assaulted and killed Kim Se Hyun.

He was sentenced to five years in prison...

and fully served his time.

He retracted his confession at the retrial...

because of his stray cat nature obtained from living on the streets.

What do you mean, a stray cat? He was wronged!

Counsel. Sit down.

We still recommend that the defendant be sentenced...

to five years in prison.

I'd like to submit...

two new pieces of evidence that will prove his innocence.

This is the weather report for December 2, 2009.

It snowed from 1 a.m. to 5 a.m. in Suwon that day.

The total snowfall was 3cm.

Next is a security video from Suwon Station.

My client confessed to the police that he moved the body at 2 a.m.

But this is not true.

As you can see, my client was drinking...

in front of this convenience store at that time.

The body was covered by 3cm of snow.

This is consistent with the weather report.

Thus, Kim Se Hyun was brought to the site before 1 a.m...

when the snow began to fall.

Kim Kyung Il may have moved the body before 10 p.m.

That is why...

I submit the evening study hall sign-in sheet...

from Hyosung High School.

There was an evening study hall until 10 p.m. that night.

The students had to walk past the field to exit the school.

If someone had moved the body there before 10 p.m.,

someone would've seen it and called it in.

(Court Rendering Verdict May 18, 10 a.m.)

The defendant is found...

not guilty.

The court gives the defendant our heartfelt apologies...

on behalf of the justice department for the pain suffered...

for several years for a crime he did not commit.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

What is all this?

When did you come?

Stop it! What are you people doing?

Hurry.

How do you feel?

We're happy, of course.

Please give us a statement.

We'll make a statement...

once we have a final judgment with no appeals left.

Who knew we'd see a day like this?

We must be more careful on days like this.

The verdict of not guilty for Kim Kyung Il...

was finalized with no appeals.

This is the first time in history that a conviction...

was overturned in a retrial.

Listen to this.

"The prosecution accepts the decision of the court..."

"and will not appeal."

Congratulations, Mr. Park.

That was a great come-from-behind win!

Okay! It's the first time in history.

I like that.

- Prepare a press release. - Okay.

And send it to every media company.

Let's row while the tide is in, and go to Seocho-dong!

Let's leave Suwon!

The first time in history.

High school grad Park Tae Yong's come-from-behind win!

I'll write it up nicely and send it to everyone.

Mr. Park. Life really is about that one big break.

Will I be able to collect all of my back-pay...

in one big payment too?

You're so dense.

Like that's so much money.

- There's a lot of traffic. - Okay.

We should speed down the bus-only lane today.

How much could the ticket be? I'll pay it.

Let's step on the accelerator today!

- Go! - Should we?

Let's go!

Aren't you going?

Let's abide by the law.

I fell for it.

Here comes the attorney Mr. Park Tae Yong.

You wrote a new page in history as a high school grad lawyer.

I have much respect for the Justice Department for their courage.

Do you know what dream my mother had before having me?

A train appeared in her dream.

It was speeding along...

and shot into the sky.

What could that mean?

Dragon!

The dragon!

The train became a dragon and flew into the sky.

I worked as a public defender for seven years...

and was paid 300 dollars per case.

Since I only graduated from high school,

no one would entrust me with their case.

It was tough,

but I had faith in the dream that I'd be a dragon.

That's how I'm here today.

Mr. Kim Kyung Il.

Why did you confess to something you didn't do 10 years ago?

My homeless friend Cho Gwan Ho...

told the cops I did it.

I swore I didn't do it,

but the cops kept saying that I was the killer.

Just spend the winter in jail and you can get out.

How can I say I killed him when I didn't?

Why you...

Aren't you going to do it?

Mr. Park...

was the only person who believed me.

I hate Cho Gwan Ho...

more than the cop who framed me.

Whenever I think about him,

I feel the rage within me.

My apologies. I should've called first.

I was asked to nominate someone for Chief Justice...

of the Supreme Court.

So I was thinking of nominating you.

Thank you, sir.

I promise I will repay you.

Let's hope for the best.

That judge...

who apologized for a decision rendered by my senior.

He needs to be punished.

How could he overturn a decision rendered by a senior judge...

and apologize for it?

If we keep granting retrials,

it will destabilize the legal system.

It will destroy the nation.

Yes, sir.

I understand, sir.

You must be busy.

I wanted to give you some good news.

The nomination for Chief Justice of the Supreme Court...

Thank you, sir.

Thank you.

(Chief Justice of the Gwangju Court of Appeals)

Hanwoo really is different.

It's melting in my mouth.

Short ribs are 43 dollars per serving.

Can we really eat this?

Gosh.

Who eats pork anymore?

You'll chip your tooth if you eat such tough meat.

I'll get you an unlimited pass for beef soon.

Mr. Park. Thank you for clearing my name.

No, don't be. Rather, thank you.

You've saved me.

Please eat.

Hanyang Bank called earlier.

One of the loans is due.

These people! That's chump change! Didn't they see the news?

Tell them to read the room before calling!

Seriously. Like that's real money.

Gosh. Eat.

I'm a public defender turned millionaire.

Gosh. Just eat.

- Two more servings please! - Okay!

- Good night. - Okay.

Good night.

Let's go.

The judges' room.

They're all prosecutors.

At times like these, you don't greet them loudly.

Just a short nod.

And then we pay.

Then they know who paid.

They'll remember us.

I see.

You need to know this much if you want to make it.

I'll pay for the judges and that table.

870 dollars?

No, sir.

Look. Rich clients are going to line up now.

Why are you worried?

Let's look at the big picture.

Bring me the card once she rings it up.

Three months, please.

It's going up.

It's going up.

Yes! Congratulations. Here's another one.

"I hung in because I had faith in my mom's dream."

"A page in history written by a high school grad lawyer."

"After Park Tae Yong mentioned his mom's dream,"

"people are rushing to see fortune tellers."

"Wando News' interview."

"Tae Yong is our island's pride and joy."

That's all.

Print a banner and send it to Wando Borough Hall.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Park, you have a guest.

Clients are pouring in. Show them in.

Thank you.

It took me forever to find your office.

I'm drenched in sweat.

It smells.
