Legal High (리갈하이)

She wants to fire us? Are you serious?

Ms. Yoon sent this to terminate the attorney-client relationship.

Why does she want to fire us?

We went through hoops and did all that work.

Why? She's about to get an acquittal.

I bet it's because of this woman.

Choi Yun Jung?

So Mr. Kang is behind all of this?

253, you have a visitor.

Choi Yun Jung?

I wondered if it was some idiot I stole money from in the past,

but you're a good-looking guy.

Why does a prosecutor need a fake name?

Mr. Go Tae Rim is certainly the best lawyer.

You think so?

Then I made the right choice.

He may be able to get you acquitted.

I'd love that.

However, you should not get acquitted.

I said I didn't do it. - Perhaps, this time.

But you killed two people in the past.

Those cases have nothing to do with this.

You must admit to murdering Lee Joon Il.

Have you lost your mind?

Only then will everyone be happy.

Including you, of course.

Including me?

Please hear me out first. Then you can make your decision.

You can decide whether you'll deny or admit to the murder.

You got into Lee Joon Il's house.

Then you poured the poison into the soup bowl in the kitchen.

Is that correct? - Yes.

Then my death penalty will be confirmed.

Mr. Go won't let that happen.

And I'll help you as well, of course.

You should find the first witness.

What will you get from berating the prosecutor?

Goodbye.

The first witness?

I hereby cancel the original verdict.

I'll be handling the next trial myself.

I'll be requesting a life sentence.

A life sentence?

Considering everything you've done,

I think it's fair.

Those who committed crimes must be punished.

Are you saying I should rot here until I die?

If you reject my offer, what I mentioned earlier...

will be exposed to the world.

Then what do you think will happen?

Even if you manage to get acquitted,

do you think you can be happy?

Okay, fine. I heard you.

All right. For the trial to go according to our plan,

we need a lawyer who's easier to handle.

Please fire Mr. Go.

He obviously schemed up this ruse because he can't win fairly.

The word has it...

that Mr. Kang will probably handle the next trial.

But why?

Why is Mr. Kang doing all this?

I heard you and Sung Gi Jun are on bad terms.

How about I get you evidence that can take him down for good?

Do you know who's behind this case?

Do you know whom Kang Gi Seok is cooperating with?

Yes, that's right. It's Sung Gi Jun.

But why is Yoon Do Hee listening to Mr. Kang?

Choi Yun Jung, who saw her right before the appeal hearing,

would know the answer to that question.

Kang Gi Seok, what card are you holding in your hand?

Who's her new attorney? Who took it on?

I'm sure it's someone who's much easier to handle than Mr. Go.

Someone who's easier to handle?

I was just wondering if there was a misunderstanding.

I heard you'd like to hire me as your attorney.

Yes, what's your problem?

Gosh, there's no problem.

I left B and G. I'm trying to start my own practice.

Were you aware? - Yes, I know.

Then why... Why on earth...

So what's your answer? Will you take it on or not?

I should, of course.

I just wanted to gather some information, that's all.

Monster Pervert must've asked for way too much money.

I'm practical, and I'm considerate of my clients' financial situations.

I'd be happy with an average fee,

so you made a wise choice.

10 years. - 10 years?

Why? Will it be hard?

Well, even if the original verdict was annulled,

unless the Supreme Court follows the presumption of innocence...

15 years, then.

Then I'll get out in 10 years if I don't cause trouble.

That's not up to me to decide.

We'll have to see what the prosecution requests...

and how the trial unfolds.

I think it's best to try to use extenuating circumstances.

Anyway, do your best.

Yes, I'll do my very best and work extremely hard.

Take care.

What do I do now?

My gosh, what should I do?

I guess Mr. Yoon took on the case.

What a nuisance. That man sticks his nose in everything.

You got your spot stolen.

Watch and learn. I'll show you what I'm really capable of.

I know this isn't the usual order,

but please allow the prosecution to request a sentence first.

Following the indictment, we'd like to convict...

the defendant of murder and attempted murder...

and sentence her to life imprisonment.

Planning to strike first?

Sure, if that's your strategy...

This is rather an unusual thing to do as an attorney,

but please allow me to share my opinion.

We trust that the defendant, Yoon Do Hee, should be acquitted.

I told you to go for 10 years.

The Supreme Court didn't have an opinion while annulling the verdict,

but the prosecution's evidence and witnesses lack credibility.

Thus, I strongly insist that the defendant is not guilty.

He probably has no idea,

but Mr. Yoon was on our side after all.

Finally, I get to be in the spotlight.

I shall enjoy it to the fullest.

Hello.

Why did Ms. Yoon suddenly decide to get a new lawyer?

Do you think she can be acquitted?

Everyone wants a good lawyer.

Ms. Yoon chose me...

because she trusts me more than her former attorney.

To live up to her expectations,

I'll do my best to get my client acquitted.

Is there another reason why she got a new lawyer?

Well, another reason would be... - Kang Gi Seok.

No, shall I call you Choi Yun Jung instead?

"Admit to the murder at the appeal hearing..."

"and hire a new lawyer."

You managed to tame that arrogant, cold, vicious woman...

and turned her into a gentle lamb.

I have no idea what weakness of hers that you know,

but you won't get your way. - Aren't you mistaken?

You've already been pushed out of the ring.

You can no longer fight against me even if you'd like to.

"Those who committed crimes must be punished."

"We speculate you committed additional crimes,"

"so you should be punished for all of them."

"The evidence was fabricated,"

"and the witness lied, but you should still be punished."

"Why? Because that is what the public wants."

Prosecutor Dong Han Gi has been a bad influence on you.

The thing is, there's a reason I must represent Yoon Do Hee.

Stop being so obsessed with winning.

Maybe next time, but you won't get a chance this time.

Sung Gi Jun.

I bet that jerk is trying to influence the trial.

From how you were chosen as the assistant prosecutor for the case...

to how you were selected to handle the next trial.

Why do you think that is? Simply because he hates me?

You're just being used...

without even knowing the real reason.

You're right. I don't know.

And I don't want to know.

"I don't care what the truth is."

"I just have to win."

For someone who says those, I don't think you can lecture me.

So, you don't care about the truth?

You just want to get in my way. Is that it?

Enjoy this while you can.

It will be a very short while.

Are you really helping Sung Gi Jun?

Did you come to cheer me on...

and visit me in the hospital as a part of the show?

Why go from the death penalty to life imprisonment?

Is there a problem with the evidence?

I have no problem proving her guilt.

I considered the Supreme Court's reason for returning the case...

and reviewed the files.

My conclusion was that life sentence would be more appropriate.

That's all.

Is there no other reason?

Was Gi Seok always like that?

He changed since he became a prosecutor.

The desire to beat me turned to despair,

and now he can no longer live off of my fame.

He developed a new persona.

That of a whiner who never cared about...

the outcome and only about realizing his ideals.

Gosh, what a whiner.

You whine even more.

This is just wrong.

If we don't do something, Do Hee won't get a fair trial,

and the truth will be buried.

I don't care about the truth,

but I'll lose my fee.

Yoon Do Hee was my prey from the start.

If she gets away, I'll get her back.

Ta-da. Are you surprised?

I have no business with them.

Why? Are you disappointed it's not Choi Yun Jung?

What did you and Prosecutor Kang talk about?
