CASE 3 THIS IS PENGSOO

ATTORNEY WOO YOUNG-WOO

Hello.

Look at you. You got your own nameplate.

"Attorney Woo Young-woo."

-You happy? -Yes.

-Do you want me to take a picture? -Yes.

Okay.

What are you doing? Why do you look mad?

Smile a little.

Let's just go back to looking mad.

Okay.

ATTORNEY JUNG MYEONG-SEOK

Hello.

Attorney Woo, please come to my office right away.

Okay.

-Shall we take pictures some other time? -Yes, some other time.

Yes, come in.

Attorney Woo. I put the case files over there, so take a look.

Have you heard of Sangjeong Pharmaceutical?

It's quite a famous pharmaceutical company.

Yes.

EVIDENCE RECORD

The Chairman is a long-time client of Hanbada.

But he's going through a rough patch at the moment.

He has two sons,

but it seems as though the younger son beat the older son to death.

And the Chairman and his wife witnessed it themselves.

The cause of death is thoracic trauma.

He had 22 rib fractures

that caused internal bleeding in his chest, leading to his death.

They say there's some sort of faint mark on his neck,

but it doesn't seem like it would've been life-threatening.

All this resulted from the younger son's assault?

Yes. At least, that's what the prosecutor seems to believe.

The fractures to the front of his ribs

may be attributed to CPR,

but for the remaining 11 fractures,

it's hard to explain with anything other than assault.

The blood-alcohol level of the victim

at the time of his death was at intoxication levels.

I don't think he would've ended up like this

if he had been sober. It's a pity what happened.

Is Kim Jeong-hun, the one who's been charged with bodily injury

resulting in death, the younger son?

Yes.

I'll be handling this case, but I'd like for you to join me.

The defendant has autism.

There should be a psychiatric evaluation for Kim Jeong-hun on the next page.

SEOIN UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL

AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER ALSO REFERRED TO AS ASD

THIS DISORDER IS A COMPLEX DEVELOPMENTAL DISORDER

Are you assigning me this case because I'm autistic?

Wouldn't you know the defendant better than I do?

And I'm sure the Chairman would feel more reassured

if a lawyer with autism was on the case.

The official diagnosis for autism is Autism Spectrum Disorder.

As you can tell from the word spectrum,

there's a wide variety of autistic people.

Like…

whales.

Even if they're all whales, blue whales and right whales

have a totally different ecosystem and social structure from humpback whales.

What's more is that--

Okay, enough about whales. What is it that you're trying to say?

Right.

According to this evaluation,

Kim Jeong-hun is on the severe end of the spectrum,

with a mental age of somewhere between age six and ten.

I have never met someone like him.

Neither have I.

You're still better than me, who didn't even know

the official term for autism.

Let's meet with them first. Don't be so scared.

Hello.

I'm Jung Myeong-seok, the attorney handling your case.

And this is…

I'm Attorney Woo Young-woo.

Whether it's read straight or flipped, it's still Woo Young-woo.

Kayak, deed, rotator, noon, racecar, Woo Young-woo.

Right.

Attorney Woo Young-woo has autism spectrum disorder.

Like your younger son.

According to your younger son's statement,

the words "Die. Die. Stop." were repeated.

No matter how many times we ask

about what happened that night, he only keeps saying,

"Die. Die. Stop."

How was the relationship between your two sons?

It was good.

Jeong-hun was especially fond of Sang-hun.

Before Sang-hun got busy with med school,

he always hung out and took care of Jeong-hun.

Sang-hun

was our son, but the kid was perfect.

He went to SNU med school with a perfect score on the CSAT,

but he was also humble and warm

and was so good to his brother.

Does Mr. Jeong-hun normally often say the words "die"?

No.

Jeong-hun saying something like that is quite unusual.

He gets misunderstood by people because of how big he is,

but he's a nice kid.

Sometimes,

he doesn't listen to me and can be a little stubborn.

But he never threatens or attacks anyone.

So you have no idea in particular as to why your younger son

beat up your older son?

No.

Looks like I don't know much about what goes on in my sons' minds.

Would it be okay if we meet with your younger son?

Meeting with him isn't an issue.

But I'm not sure if he'll talk.

He goes silent when he meets strangers.

They should still meet him at least once.

Jeong-hun is the defendant.

And we never know.

He might open up to Attorney Woo.

If only this elevator would hurry up,

we'd have ten more minutes for our lunch break.

You're right.

-Do you know today's lunch menu? -It's stir-fried pork.

Really?

It's here.

Have a nice lunch.

Excuse me, can you wait just a second?

-What is it? -I'm sorry.

Hey.

I'm so hungry.

I'm starving.

Gosh, I'm hungry.

Closing the doors now.

If I knew you brought lunch from home, I'd have come down first.

Next time, come down a bit later.

By "a bit later," how much later do you exactly mean?

About ten minutes?

Okay.

While we work on the 17th floor and eat lunch on the first basement level,

whales feed in the coastal waters of Ulsan and sleep on the west coast of Japan.

For them, the coastal waters of Ulsan are their kitchen

and the west coast of Japan is their bedroom.

Migratory whales that move to the polar regions every summer feed intermittently.

They only eat during the 3 to 4 months that they stay in the polar regions.

-Jeez, Young-woo's doing that again. -What?

Should I go stop her?

Since people only eat within eight hours each day when intermittent fasting.

Just leave her be. He doesn't seem to mind.

What?

The look on Jun-ho's face. It doesn't seem like he minds.

Okay.

You promised. Be good, okay?

-Hello. -You're here.

Kim Jeong-hun, come in.

Right.

Pengsoo!

Jeong-hun, I see you like Pengsoo.

Please take a seat.

Jeong-hun, sit down.

Sit down.

Take your headphones and sunglasses off.

I won't take my headphones and sunglasses off.

Listen to me.

You promised, right?

Listen to me. I didn't promise, right?

It's fine. The headphones and sunglasses look cool.

If it's okay with you two,

I think we should proceed like this.

Hi, Jeong-hun.

My name is Jung Myeong-seok, and this here is…

Woo Young-woo.

Right, Young-woo and I have a lot to ask you, Jeong-hun.

So, today--
