Delayed Justice (Fly Dragon / Fly From Rags To Riches / Narara Gaecheonyong / 날아라 개천용)

(This drama is based on real-life events. Incidents,

names, and places have been altered for the drama.)

The defendant is found not guilty.

"A page in history written by a high school grad lawyer."

"After Park Tae Yong mentioned his mom's dream,"

"people are rushing to see fortune-tellers."

We waited outside for 10 hours.

We've been counseling for 15 hours today!

Come on. They came a long way. Come in, sit down.

Anyway, we're not guilty. Please take a look at this.

Things will change in two days.

Hey. Not you. I mean you, the girl.

This time, I need you to help me.

Ghostwrite two autobiographies and do three newspaper interviews.

Work for Mayor Kang just for five months.

Are you saying the real murderer was arrested by Hwang Min Kyung...

but got released?

Yes. All three of them got released.

Instead, three kids...

with developmental disorders got arrested.

I have the entire record here.

If we win the retrial, we can turn the world upside down.

You guys are all dead meat.

Let's pass on Mayor Kang Chul Woo.

I'll build you a building with this!

It's in the past.

I'm telling you, a prosecutor let a murderer off!

You act like my father-in-law's faithful servant to his face,

but you're preparing to stab him in the back.

Look at this first before you fight.

Stay away for the time being.

Don't come to the office. Reporters will come flocking.

You gave someone the recording of the killer's voice?

Yes. News and New. The reporter Park Sam Soo.

Work with me.

We'll rake in all the money with your writing skills.

Let's show them a world in which justice is lucrative!

If you don't want a trial, you can also settle it financially.

Then why did you mention a settlement to them?

What's your point? What do you want to know?

They're trying to buy you, right?

I wonder if the jerk enticing you...

and the jerk tempting me are one and the same.

There's no sign. Come to Unit 201.

Hello.

You have a great junior colleague.

What's so great about her? I taught her everything she knows.

You'll be shocked once you see what I've brought.

Daeseok will be the city's exclusive legal counsel...

to represent them in all conflicts and disputes.

And that amount is a whopping 30 million dollars a year.

But why did you suddenly dig into Daeseok?

Okay. I'll zoom in on the photo.

Look carefully.

Okay, who is it? Who is it?

Why is Kim Kang Woo with Mayor Kang Chul Woo?

Why, do you think?

- I remember now! - What?

- Those rats! - Exactly!

Hold on.

Let me clear it up for you.

Two years ago, Daeseok and Seoul...

signed a 30-million-dollar legal counsel contract.

Head prosecutor Jang Yoon Suk is the bridge between them.

He's the one who investigated the Samjung three-man murder...

incorrectly in 2013.

Mayor Kang is using the economy to target the presidential election.

Companies such as Daejin Daily are lined up in front of him...

to try to get into Techno Town.

Since he has to help his son-in-law...

and help his own career as well.

So he pressured Daeseok to sway you...

and used News and New to sway Sam Soo.

My conclusion is that Mayor Kang Chul Woo...

is behind this incident.

My deductions...

and your investigation come to the same conclusion.

She's very logical.

What's wrong with you? Who cares about that?

What happened with Daeseok?

Kim Byung Dae asked me...

to be the director of Daeseok's public interest clinic.

Mayor Kang Chul Woo must be the source of funds.

He used to own a corporation, so he has deep pockets.

Wait a second.

Were you going to dump me and go to Daeseok?

That's cheating!

Yellow card!

Do I look like someone who would go there?

Of course, I'm more than qualified.

However! I don't do things like that!

They are so powerful,

but you two are quibbling.

Darn it!

I should've listened to Mr. Moon and become...

a mortician.

There you go again.

First, let's deal with what's most urgent.

The trial for the Gangneung case is next week.

Are you the lawyer on that?

I helped investigate that.

You did?

This is how hard I'm preparing for it.

You should come to the trial.

Yes, I should.

I'll give my all to do my best.

I feel so energized all of a sudden.

What are you guys doing?

The trial by jury...

of Jung Myung Hee for the murder of her father...

will begin now.

I will begin by explaining the charges.

Defendant Jung Myung Hee,

around 1 a.m. on May 15, 2020,

stopped her father from strangling her grandfather.

She used packaging string...

to murder her own father.

- Stop it! - Die. Get off of me!

- Stop it! - Die.

Die!

- Stop. - Die!

Father! Stop it!

Stop it!

Honey!

- Let go! - Please stop!

No!

No.

I... I killed... I killed my father.

No...

Witness. How was the defendant in the detention center?

She slept all day and night.

Hey. Are you sleeping again? Again?

- Hey. - Don't you hear us?

Did she look like she was repenting...

after murdering her father?

All she did was sleep.

Did the defendant sleep that much?

She slept almost as if she had some disease.

All she did was sleep in jail after killing her father.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury.

You don't think she's repenting, correct?

The uniqueness of domestic violence is...

that the assailant and victim live in the same home.

The defendant's father typically began his violence at night.

If the assailant and victim lived in the same home,

how could you sleep peacefully at night?

You little...

- Stop it! - Get out, you witch!

How dare you talk back to your dad?

You witch!

Out of filial piety toward his father,

Crown Prince Sado...

Only after she went to jail...

was Myung Hee finally in a world without the person who abused her.

The sleep that she lacked for 15 years...

finally caught up to her.

Myung Hee is not unique.

Women who killed their husbands, unable to endure the abuse,

mostly spend the early parts of their imprisonment sleeping.

This isn't a lack of repentance,

but the aftershock of domestic abuse.

He is amazing.

When and why did Myung Hee's mother leave?

She left when Myung Hee was 5 or 6.

Because my son beat her.

Was he very violent?

Every day was filled with shame.

He was my son,

so I should've finished it.

I, his mom, couldn't do it.

So now my granddaughter is suffering torment.

It's all my fault.

Do you want to say anything to the jury?

I turned 70 this year,

but I still remember when the chick that I raised...

when I was 17 died.

Even things like this stay with you for life.

How is my granddaughter supposed to live now?

Please save my granddaughter.

When your father was strangling your father,

couldn't you do something else to stop him?

I couldn't think about anything else.

I just saw the packaging string,

so I grabbed it.

Didn't you think that it may kill your father?

I missed my mom.

- Why? - Let go!

You witch!

Die.

Die!

I missed my mom,

but I couldn't remember what she looked like.

All I could see is my dad's back as he strangled her.

When I saw my dad's back that night,

I suddenly remembered my mom.

- Let go. - Why did you have me?

Why did you have me if you couldn't take care of me?

- Father! - I felt like...

if I didn't do something, someone else would leave me.

Mom...
