What do you mean "admit my guilt"?
You won't help me clear my name?
Mister,
you installed cameras in the bathroom
of a rented house,
in order to spy on others.
How am I supposed to clear that?
Were you just
making sure they didn't waste water?
This is all slander!
The tenant made the whole story up.
Now what?
You think I don't know the law?
I looked online,
I'm innocent until the court reaches a verdict.
There is a term called
presumption of innocence.
Presumption of innocence?
Yeah.
Do you think a scumbag like you
can lecture me about the law?
I'm telling you.
I hate having to presume you're innocent!
Because of this rule,
criminals like you are all over the place, hurting people.
You, are illiterate of the law,
and you're a pervert!
How, how could you say this?
You're my lawyer!
What's up?
You... I...
Miss Lin, the session is about to start.
Please bring your client in.
OK.
I'll give you one last chance.
So, do you plead guilty?
I...
Lin Xingran.
Another client pleaded guilty right before trial.
Did you do this again?
If you wanna say something, say it.
I just want to say,
he may be a bastard,
but he's still your client.
It's your job to defend him.
Look at you now,
you deliberately pick those clients
who are obviously guilty.
But you won't defend them.
Tell me, is this on purpose?
Are you lecturing me?
Are you aware
of what others are calling you?
A lawyer with no chance of winning a case.
Everyone hopes they end up going against you.
They know that it's an easy win.
Sometimes there isn't even a trial.
What's wrong with losing?
I've no problem with it.
I'm happy to lose.
Miss Lin,
can you please cheer up?
We're supposed to battle in court.
I'd rather you were the old aggressive
Lin Xingran who I saw as my rival.
I hate to see you looking like a beaten down dog.
Didn't you used to say you liked beating me?
Come on, beat me.
Am I beaten down?
Gu Siyu,
do I care
about winning or losing?
Alright,
I'll have her work on that.
I got it.
Sorry about that.
Mr. Jiang,
another complaint about Xingran?
You have to ask?
The fifth or sixth one this month.
She is famous now.
If this keeps up, she'll never get a case again.
Was this the one about the peeping landlord?
What peeping landlord?
Oh nothing, I must have been mistaken.
Come back.
No, Mr. Jiang.
Tell me what happened.
I...
Go ask her
about this peeping landlord.
OK.
Right.
Xingran.
Mr. Jiang wants me to ask
about the peeping landlord case.
The pervert was
recording his tenants in the shower.
He pleaded guilty before the trial.
What's wrong? -Oh.
Xingran just told me that...
Ask her if she knows
what they're saying about her
and Cheng Tian.
Mr. Jiang wants me to ask
if you know what they're saying about you
and Cheng Tian.
I always lose.
I heard it.
Cheng Tian has an 'always winner' and an 'always loser'.
Pretty cool.
Xingran says Cheng Tian has both...
Go ask her about
her attitude.
Does she want this job?
With all her losses.
My number is now the complaint hotline. -Oh.
Come back.
You tell her, if this keeps up,
she won't get a penny the next month.
OK.
Mr. Jiang says
if this goes on, your pay will be docked.
Alright, fine with me.
I'll pay him if there's not enough. -Right.
However much he needs. -OK.
Xingran says she can pay you if... Well...
You!
Hey, Mr. Jiang! Mr. Jiang!
Mr. Jiang! Mr. Jiang!
Listen, Mr. Jiang!
What's with you two?!
I need somewhere to calm down.
Dude. Why haven't we caught anything?
I've been here with you for 3 hours.
Aren't you tired?
The two at the firm are too noisy.
And this one is a mute.
I cannot understand you.
You're a lawyer who's been overseas.
But you sit here and fish.
It's been a year, aren't you bored with this?
You said you'd come visit us.
But you still never have.
Is everything okay?
Not even close.
Things were so good.
But then you left us,
now the three of us are busy as hell.
Mr. Jiang won't hire anyone new,
and he and Xingran just fight.
They don't even talk to each other.
I have to be their go-between.
It's seriously a nightmare to be around.
Hey, but,
don't you wanna ask
how Xingran's doing?
She's a strong woman.
I'm sure she's well.
Yeah, she is good.
We don't fear clients or the law.
But we fear what she might say.
That includes Mr. Jiang.
He'll just scold her a bit.
The old Xingran was a rose with thorns.
But now,
she's nothing but thorns.
She doesn't care about losing cases.
She'll accept any case.
Winning doesn't matter.
Whatever other firms say,
whatever other lawyers think,
she pretends she doesn't know.
I think,
she's either become a stone-hearted monster,
or...
Or what?
Or she's
too heart-broken to act.
Mom,
how was your day?
My day sucked.
I lost another case.
My client had to pay.
But I have no sympathy for him.
I wish the punishment were heavier.
I didn't want to defend him at all.
What should I do?
Should I change careers?
No comments yet. Be the first to leave one.
