PUBLIC DEBATE ON HUMAN RIGHTS AND JUSTICE: OPEN ACCESS TO SUSPECTS' IDENTITIES

This issue is not only about human rights

but also about safety.

The sense of security that allows you to live in your own home

without the constant fear of criminals who could harm

you and your family at any moment.

I'm talking about the basic human right we deserve

to be protected in the country where you live.

I'm not necessarily against it.

Korea is a constitutional nation that upholds the presumption of innocence.

Concluding someone is a criminal even before an official trial

and disclosing their personal information under the pretext of the greater good?

Here's where that famous saying comes in.

"Whatever."

"Whatever. Let's disclose it anyway. It's not like it's happening to me."

"They shouldn't have acted suspiciously."

Asking for the proper treatment and punishment a perpetrator deserves

is not an unreasonable demand.

Professor Kwon,

we all have the right to be informed in order to protect ourselves.

You're familiar with this right, aren't you?

I am very well aware of what it is.

However,

does knowing it change anything?

Even if I obtain information that says that person there is most likely guilty,

the only things that can protect you are

prejudice, discrimination, and ostracism.

Even in a situation where you might die if you do nothing,

you must never assault anyone first,

and killing them is even more forbidden.

Because in a constitutional nation, pre-emptive assault

has absolutely no justification.

EPISODE 7

Even your autograph looks cool.

Thank you.

My son Yun-seong is such a huge fan.

He's too shy to say hi even though we're neighbors.

He was really looking forward to this lecture today.

It's not an easy read for middle school students.

AUTHOR KWON SEOK-JOO

Thanks for reading my book.

I'm also not sure why Lady Justice is blindfolded.

If it's because she's afraid of bias,

I think it's cowardly.

If you pass judgment without looking at things clearly, it's not being fair.

It's being indifferent.

His dream is to work in the legal field one day.

My husband also thinks it'd be nice to have

one of our three boys in the legal field.

And ever since I started my career in politics,

I also think I could really use a trustworthy legal advisor.

Even though I have a neighbor like you.

Relying solely on your experiences can also lead to bias.

Experiences are gained through situations and conflicts.

They can't be absolute truths.

I agree.

Would you like to come to my lecture?

For elective classes, we accept non-credit students.

Is he too busy with school to attend?

Well...

Actually, he just went through major surgery,

so he's being homeschooled at the moment.

Still, I'm sure it would be a great experience for him.

Of course.

Then, make sure to tell me what you think after attending my lecture.

Even if your opinion is the total opposite of mine,

- it's okay, so-- - Dad!

Hey, Na-rae.

Excuse me. That's my daughter.

Hey.

- Why did you come alone? - She left early, as usual.

She said she had a lot of things to do today too.

I'd hoped the three of us could have dinner together.

Oh, well.

I guess it'll be just be the two of us on a date then.

AUDIT OR FASHION SHOW? MIN HAS 3 OUTFITS IN A DAY

Instead of the questions the administration answered,

everyone's focused on this nonsense.

I need you to make a list of some good image consultants.

Preferably with international academic backgrounds, especially in DC.

They say negative comments are better than no comments.

I recommend minimizing any potential sources of leaks.

You're still a proportional representative.

- Pull over. - Yes, ma'am.

Get out of the car.

Me?

So adorable.

What a loser.

I want you to set up interviews for an aide.

It must be hard for him to raise a girl by himself.

I'm going to recruit Professor Kwon for my campaign.

Run a background check on him.

Yes, ma'am.

KWON SEOK-JOO ACADEMIC BACKGROUND

EXPERIENCE, CERTIFICATES

The purpose of the law is to pursue justice.

Someone fresh out of college was killed in this case.

And the drunk driver...

Does the court's decision always lead to perfect justice?

Hey, you.

Anyway...

All right.

PROPER JUSTICE

SMALL ACTS SNOWBALL TO ALTER THE COURSE

Professor.

I loved today's lecture.

- Seriously. - It was amazing.

- I loved it. - Keep up the hard work.

Professor, today we're...

DISCOVERY OF JUSTICE

RESPECT JUSTICE FIRST

AUTHOR KWON SEOK-JOO

It's staying still.

Fluffy.

Hey, Fluffy.

Fluffy.

Fluffy? Dad! Fluffy is missing.

Hi, Professor.

Hi, Yun-seong.

Did you take our dog, by any chance?

Me?

How could I have done that?

Somebody saw you leaving my house.

If you're done playing with it, can we have it back?

Na-rae is waiting.

It really wasn't me.

You'll know if you check the CCTV footage.

Wait.

Did you know our CCTV system was broken?

Hey, my boy.

Were you waiting for me?

Hello, Father.

You're here too, Professor.

What's up?

Our dog is missing.

So I was asking Yun-seong about it.

You interrupted his studies for something trivial as that?

Goodness. Why do I feel so offended?

I should be offended, right?

Have you seen the dog?

No, of course not.

You should leave now.

- Mr. Byun. - Yes, sir?

Bring me a shovel.

Stay with him.

Honey.

- Now! - Yes, sir.

Honey!

Let's get inside. Come on.

Let's go inside.

Honey!

Are you crazy?

I told you to beat people up instead or throw money at them if you're too weak!

As if killing all the dogs we got you wasn't enough,

now you're killing dogs of others?

You embarrass me,

like a low-class heathen.

He's sick! How could you hit him?

Can't you try to understand him?

How could you treat us like this?

You said we should try to befriend that professor so he'd join your campaign.

What if he finds out about this? What would he think of us?

Ma'am.

What were you doing?

You're supposed to be Yun-seong's big brother!

Mr. Lee.

I'm sorry, sir.

Woo-taek is Yun-seong's big brother.

This is Woo-taek's fault.

See? Woo-taek says it's not Yun-seong's fault.

And he'll say that if anyone asks!

This was our deal from the start.

You little bastard.

Don't look. Let's go.

Bastard.

Woo-taek did a good job, right?

I'm sorry, Woo-taek.

Whoever apologizes to Woo-taek

is a good person.

And good people get presents.

Do you want a present?

By the way, Woo-taek...

Do you think anyone saw us?

I can't...

let the tattletale off the hook.

Don't worry.

I know my way back home.

Where are you?

Come on. We have to find Fluffy now.

You said you knew who took Fluffy.

Why won't you tell me?

Hurry home.

I'll be waiting at home.

Na-rae.

You're gorgeous.

Hey!

- What are you doing? - What's his problem?
