Justice (저스티스)

Name, Yang Chul Ki. Occupation, a gangster.

Seven previous convictions.

What an expert.

Are you planning on becoming a professional?

So some thugs got into a fight because of a holdout problem...

and you got arrested in the action.

You were arrested immediately because of your previous charges.

Gosh, your uniform fits you perfectly.

It's pretty much tailored for you.

Goodness, what an honor.

A star attorney came here.

Do you know me?

Then I won't beat around the bush.

I will make the story about how a poor thug...

got into this case by accident trying to make a living...

for his sick mother, siblings, wife, and even children.

My dear actor, you need to polish up your acting skills.

You jerk. Stop trampling all over me.

Man, you stupid thug...

don't get it because I skipped over the middle, right?

Why do you think...

someone is trying to get a useless thug like you...

out of this case...

by using an expensive attorney like me?

Because...

you're a rotten link.

It's because of the body that's connected to the rotten link.

I'm not trying to get you out.

What did you say, jerk? - So you must...

do your best to act your part.

If there is trouble because of your acting,

then you will get dropped right away...

so that the body won't get in trouble.

Understood?

Okay.

Mr. Guk, about the indictment of the assembly's son...

You think your boss is a joke, don't you?

"Don't worry"?

You need to withdraw the indictment.

I don't think...

I can do that.

I wasn't going to do my best either.

But he used violence regularly,

and this was special violence because he broke a bottle and all.

I couldn't go without indicting him.

You said it yourself.

That no one said they were beaten up.

I looked into this,

and the victim was his driver.

He was afraid he'd get fired, so he couldn't make a statement.

I couldn't just overlook the truth. I'm a prosecutor.

Your father's hearing is coming up.

Let's not cause him any trouble.

My father will manage his own business.

Even if I turn this case inside out to reveal the whole truth about him,

it'll be stopped by those above anyway.

Even if I end up indicting the case,

the court will find him innocent.

But lately, I've been addicted to social media.

Seo Yeon Ah!

But a case that involves this kind of boys isn't exactly my style.

What do you want?

Wait, Mr. Lee!

What? - This is bad.

The prosecutor for the trial was just reappointed.

Who is it?

Long time no see.

Hello.

What has gotten into you?

You're a star attorney who defends the top one percent of this country.

Why are you defending this useless thug?

Right.

Yang Chul Ki works for Bumjung Construction, right?

Have you been well?

We haven't met since our days in the Seoul Eastern District Office.

Thanks to you, I was transferred to a place with awfully fresh air.

You're the ace prosecutor of Seoul Central Prosecutors’ Office,

and I'm worried you might work too hard over some thug's case.

Chairman Song, it must be annoyed to have these thugs cause trouble.

Why don't you quit your business and start a law firm?

I heard you're the only way that Mr. Lee will take any cases.

You'll make much more than your current construction company.

I need to think carefully before I change my business.

I can just do something that'll make a lot of profit.

Figures. You're very good at business.

A company that only has capital of one million dollars...

manage to get construction projects worth 200 million dollars, right?

Let's go.

While we're at it, Mr. Lee.

You'll have to use the actual law to deal with this case...

instead of using your dirty tricks.

I'm not going to give up...

even if we both end up rolling around in a ditch.

You know me, don't you?

I never let anything go once I take a bite.

Goodbye.

She's still so cool.

Aren't you here to look at the trial?

I'm just here to visit the top floor.

Witness, you bought just 7m² of land...

in the redevelopment site of the defendant's company.

And you requested 30 percent...

of the construction profit for selling your land to them.

This is called a holdout technique.

Is that correct? - It's not exactly a holdout.

Just answer with the facts.

Did you request to get 30 percent back or not?

I did. I did but...

Because of this wicked trick,

the construction plan began to get postponed.

Finally, the defendant, an employee of the company, stepped in.

Why?

Because many laborers' livelihood depended on this construction.

If the business gets canceled,

they have no choice but to live out on the streets.

Some of them need to look after their sick mother.

Some of them were a father who had to get his baby's formula.

The defendant was...

also a head of a household too.

He could not ignore those laborers and their livelihood.

Please take into consideration that he got involved...

in this assault case against his will.

That's all.

It was a dirty fight.

Who's going to take more?

A bloody survival game between thugs.

If Bumjung Construction actually cared about day laborers,

they wouldn't have created a labor team of thugs...

and gave them...

seven percents as the commission.

Your Honor.

You must know that Bumjung Construction is...

behind this assault case,

who created a team of thugs just for their own benefits.

The defendant, Yang Chul Ki, was the leader of that team.

He has seven previous convictions...

for assault, blackmailing, threat,

extortion, obstructing businesses, and et cetera.

He is also a key suspect of an unresolved murder case.

Goodness, a murder case.

I think we took a big blow.

If she suddenly took this case,

does this mean she did that on purpose?

Can you investigate...

what Yang Chul Ki's murder case is about?

Sure.

Detective Kang, you investigated Yang Chul Ki's case?

I see.

You two have been working together ever since she was appointed.

He brought it to me two weeks ago.

It's a case that kept on troubling me...

as I was nearing my retirement,

so I began to investigate it again.

It definitely seems odd.

This is...

the unresolved case from seven years ago.

It seemed very odd.

She was a 20-year-old actress who had just made her debut.

Seeing how she was stabbed in her vital spot,

the killer seemed to be a professional.

But the murder weapon wasn't found,

and there were no traces of sexual assault.

Yang Chul Ki is the key suspect.

He was the only one who went to her place.

Her estimated time of death and his whereabouts overlap.

On top of that, his prints were found on her body.

But he was acquitted just like that.

Since the murder weapon wasn't found,

there's no proof of the murder.

As for the prints on her body,

they could've been easily explained since he was her manager.

The absence of his motive for murder...

must be a critical fact.

In one week, the police closed down this case.

But what's stranger is that as soon as the case was closed,

the CCTV footages and files related to the case...

were destroyed.

This was intentional.

He was put behind bars for a simple assault case,

and now, she wants to solve a cold case?

What?

That's just like her.

They could've just let me investigate it...

since I was going to retire soon anyway,

but strangely enough, they kept pressuring me to drop it.

I thought seeing a prosecutor would be better than a detective,
