The Devil Judge (악마판사)

[This drama is set in the dystopian future of Korea.]

[All characters, organizations, places, and events are fictional.]

Do what suits you best.

I heard you used to work as a maid.

Gosh, what a lowlife...

Kang Yo-han told Cha Kyung-hee about me.

Find out.

Shut your mouth and just look into it!

If you get in my way of things, you'll be sure to pay your price.

It seems like you've worked hard all your life.

Would you be okay with that?

I will kill you,

Kang Yo-han.

I will tear you to shreds.

Wouldn't that be too dangerous?

You said that person was unpredictable.

I told you. There's no way to fight against those who dominate the world

when they stick together.

We have Do Young-chun now.

We can use him to push Cha Kyung-hee and...

And prosecute her?

Or disclose it to the press?

She knows about the press' corruption, which she can disclose at any time.

So you're saying we can't bring them down from the outside,

and we have to make them fight against each other.

What if they come after you?

How could I shake things up without taking any risks?

But luckily, everyone

has at least one vulnerable spot.

Everyone does.

No.

Did you have dinner?

What about Young-min?

He's the same.

His wound is almost healed.

But you know, he's still...

Mom, let's move to the States.

I don't think I can live here.

Please. I'm scared to live here.

Let's go to the States together. Please?

Get up.

-Mom. -I told you to get up.

On your feet.

Didn't you hear me?

Get up now.

You're nothing but a weak coward!

-Honey. -You want to run away instead of fighting?

How could you after all that humiliation you had to face?

How could you? You're such a useless son.

How much does Cha Kyung-hee know about me?

I looked into this, but I didn't find any connections between them.

They are practically enemies.

I really doubt Cha Kyung-hee would join hands with Kang Yo-han.

He's the only one

who could put a dagger in her hands, so she could stab me in the back.

I'm sure he's plotting something.

Hello, Ms. Cha.

[Investigation Report of an Accident Resulting in Death]

You buried it pretty well.

You must have spent a hefty sum on it.

Your mother beat you up whenever she drank.

But luckily for you, she fell and rolled down the stairs at a mountain and died.

The security light was turned off. And you were the only eyewitness.

But your acting performance as a heartbroken daughter was flawless.

And the cops didn't suspect anything

and concluded that she missed her footing as she was drunk.

Well, I think I have enough to work with.

Your statement that she was drunk is the only evidence the cops had.

But what if there were to be a doctor's note

that contradicted your statement?

"There was no alcohol found in the deceased's system."

"This couldn't have happened unless someone pushed her"

"from behind."

There was no such doctor's note at the time.

Haven't you learned already?

Here's a thing about facts.

I make those facts.

I just need some sources to provoke people's imagination.

You really are an expert.

Evidence fabrication and coercive investigations.

That's your expertise.

Thanks for the compliment.

What is it that you want?

Kang Yo-han.

Bring him down and restore my son's reputation.

Then I'll let you go.

Your son's trial is over. How could I--

That's why I need people like you.

Bottom feeders who were born and raised in the ghetto

and who would do anything to survive.

I'll give you a week.

Bring me what I want.

Hello, Young Master.

I hope you've been well.

Do you want your usual?

-Yes, please. -Okay.

That's good.

Hi, Young Master.

How did you get in here?

Where's he?

Don't tell me...

Don't get worked up.

He's taking a little nap.

What are you doing?

You know, I always wanted to try this.

I always wanted

to doll you up.

If you wish.

But you see...

Why did you do it?

What do you mean?

Why did you leak my past to Cha Kyung-hee?

Thanks to that, I'm in a tight spot.

I needed you.

Do you mean that?

I need to bring her down.

And I was hoping you would want to do the same.

That's why you put in a predicament?

Young Master.

You're such a bad boy.

And you're brazen too.

I thought that's why you liked me.

Because we're alike.

Anyway, there's nothing we can do to fix this.

As long as Cha Kyung-hee knows,

you will never be free.

The choice is yours.

What if I were to choose this?

That's too bad.

Just follow your heart.

Want to come over to my house?

It's been so long.

It'll bring back a lot of old memories. And it might be fun too.

What are you thinking about?

Nothing has changed. Everything's exactly the same as before.

But you've changed.

I have?

How?

Ms. Jung?

Welcome.

Mr. Kang told me that he was inviting you over.

Really?

Would you like to eat with us?

It's dinnertime soon.

Mr. Kim, did you really make all of this yourself?

They're kindly letting me stay with them, so...

I thought you were fully recovered. Am I wrong?

I didn't know you had so many talents, Mr. Kim.

I also failed to recognize all your talents

when I first met you.

Who's this lady again?

She leads the Operations Support Task Force for the Live Court Department.

I see.

You've never brought a woman over before.

Are you seeing each other?

-Elijah. -What an honor.

I suppose I'm your first female guest.

You're his girlfriend, right?

Let's eat.

-Are you two together or not? -I said, we're not.

She helps Mr. Kang.

Please continue to help us out.

Well...

Am I even capable of helping Judge Kang?

He told me that he absolutely needs you.

My gosh, I'm flattered.

Did he really say that?

You're talking too much.

Let's eat. You too, dig in.

Elijah, try this first.

Mr. Kim, you look as if you've always been a member of this family.

You blend in perfectly.

Oh, you think so?

You probably don't feel lonely anymore.

I envy you.

Have you known each other for a long time?

Well...

I'll just say we've been cheering for each other,

Miss Elijah.

What? How do you know my name?

How about a toast? We have an important guest today.

-Not you. -What do I drink, then?

You have your juice.

Thank you. Cheers.

Hold on. She should be here any minute now.

Why did you want me to come in the evening?

Oh, you have a guest.

Here's to Chairman Jung Sun-ah,

who has returned home after all these years.

Sun-ah? Are you Sun-ah?

What? You don't like it?

Too bad.

Yes, I am playing you.

It's fun.

You're clever,

ruthless,

and as broken as I am.

And that is very rare.

I think it'd be fun to play with you.

Remember the offer you made me?
