'Name: Joon-ha Seo'

Profession.
Lawyer.
I'm tired, too. Let's help each other out, okay?
It's true. He's really a lawyer.
You assholes... Listen!
Is your living room, huh? Who are you kidding?
Oh, still hard at work...
The Gyu-sik Hwang case has been dropped.
-What was that all about? -The bastard perjured himself.
Well, there's an endless list of bastards we'd like to beat up.
But did you go to beat him up? You look terrible.
Here's the case summary for CEO Choi of the Taejin Group. Courthouse 514.
-Hey, did you eat yet? -Yes.
This is the Ji-man Lee, biker case. Courthouse 302.
And the settlement?
He's bringing it over today.
-lf we've got everything, shall we go? -Sure.
Defendant, please stand. Do you have anything to say?
I'm deeply remorseful for my crime.
Forgive me this once. I won't do things like this again and work hard.
Sentencing will be in 3 weeks, on Sept. 22nd at 2 PM. Next.
Case no. 3215.
Case no. 3215, defendant ll-man Choi, not in custody.
Defendant ll-man Choi.
Where is your client?
Well...he's not here yet.
-What do you want to do? -We'll postpone.
Next court date in three weeks. Sept. 22nd, 3 PM. Next.
Case no. 1817.
Lawyer Seo.
I told you before, those sneakers...
It's not a big problem but considering it's a courtroom...
Let's pay attention to our attire.
What time is it now? Didn't I tell you to wear your school uniform?
Why are you hitting me? I'm not the one.
You're not?
You all look the same to me. Can't tell one brat from another.
And the settlement?
Here.
But do I really have to wear this?
What are you good for?
You have to look decent for the judge at least. Get changed and go in.
I've got damn egg on my face.
He should've had his secretary call at least.
What the hell is this? You can't even make sure the client shows up.
-Hey? Aren't you coming? -I have one more case.
Another court-appointed one?
Last spring, you entered a model airplane contest and won the bronze.
You also entered a writing contest and your book review almost won.
But since it was an erotic novel, you were disqualified.
-People felt bad, correct? -Yes.
You didn't plan on stealing the motorcycle.
You just wanted to ride it and then return it, correct?
Yes.
You're very sorry about this and can swear never to speed again, correct?
Now answer in a loud voice.
-Yes! -Nothing further.
This is a settlement the victim agreed upon on Aug. 31st.
Defendant, please stand.
Do you have anything to say?
First, I'm very sorry to have caused trouble in this quiet society.
I'll live quietly from now on.
Sentencing will be held on Sept. 27th, at 10 AM. Next.
Defendant, wait. You're suspended right now, aren't you?
Yes.
Do you always wear your school uniform?
No-no...
Then who told you to wear it?
I just...wore it.
Do you know that lying before the court is perjury?
Uh...um, my lawyer told me to.
When did I tell him to wear his school uniform?
As long as we win, why does it matter?
Oh, I forgot to tell you, a court-appointed case came in last night.
It's in the same case batch as the Taejin Group so that must be why.
What's the case?
An appeal for a murder case.
It got the death penalty.
Might not be a bad idea to skip this one. Plus, it's an open-n-shut case.
Present!
What? You call them students?
You saw him in his school uniform.
That was like a sausage stuffed with pasta.
Wow, for a court-appointed case, the reward's pretty good.
I'm Shin-young Lee's court appointed lawyer for her appeal.
Lawyer visiting.
She won't see you.
Excuse me?
-2234, she refuses visitation. -What's the reason?
No clue. She probably won't see you in the future.
The first lawyer couldn't meet with her either.
-You have a witness today? -ln-suk Hong. -ln-suk Hong?
-Whose bag is this? -Lawyer Kang's.
So he got his clerk to bring it over. He speaks slow but acts fast.
Got be quick in one way if you want to eat.
Case no. 1627.
Case no. 1627, Defendant Shin-young Lee.
Prosecution, begin your case.
On Feb. 6, 2000, the defendant injected her husband, Jong-hoon Sung,
with drugs to render him helpless.
With a scalpel, the murder weapon, she cut him in 4 places,
hitting arteries and veins.
Arrested on the scene, the court sentenced her to death on June 13th.
Proceed.
Her prints on the murder weapon, the diazepam found in the victim's body,
no evidence of intrusion,
and pre-meditation,
The scientific evidence is clear.
Given that the defendant remained silent throughout the investigation
and the first trial, I have no further questions.
Defense, cross examination.
You stood before this court on Feb. 6th for the murder of Jong-hoon Sung,
correct?
First, about the pre-meditation the prosecution is claiming...
Your honor...
I don't want...this trial.
-I want it to stop. -Defendant!
You don't have the right to refuse this trial.
-Why not? -Shin-young Lee.
Stop...this trial.
Shin-young Lee.
-I request a postponement. -I said, enough!
We'll take a short recess.
I'll see both councils in my chambers.
I never asked for another trial. Just give me the death penalty.
Let me go! Let go! Let me just die.
Why are you doing this to me? Let go!
Han-soo, take a picture of the tub.
Careful, careful...
And the murder weapon?
A scalpel was found on the bathroom floor.
Now, you remember where you cut him first, right?
Do it just the way you did it.
-Shin-young Lee cannot see anyone. -Excuse me?
She's been put into solitary.
-When will she get out? -I don't know.
Where are you two going, stuck gether like a pair of socks?
The verdict for Lawyer Choi's first case is in.
So you're going to the courthouse?
Yes.
No, no, no. A lawyer should never go for the verdict.
What do you mean?
There's nothing for a lawyer to do.
Also, if you lose, they'll hang you by your collar.
And they'll tear you apart, asking for their money back.
Even so, isn't it our duty to explain the verdict to our client?
I'm not telling you this for nothing.
I'll see you later.
This is the research application I told you about.
You've made the right choice.
Wrap up the Taejin case real nice, study abroad for about two years...
Man, I might end up working for you!
-When do I leave? -ln November.
You have about a month or two. I'd start getting ready.
Hello? Joon-ha Seo.
She's claustrophobic.
We found her during the morning round. She's been moved to the hospital.
Is Shin-young Lee...
What are you doing?
-Let go! Let me go! -Call the doctor, quick!
-Let go! -Why are you doing this!
I wanna die...really...
-Excuse me. -Please wait outside.
Oh, they must've been beaten bad.
Did you...go with them?
How strange...
All she needs to do is to wait. And they'll kill her anyway.
What's her big rush?
Some people would stick to a lawyer's shadow like a magnet to bail them out.
She barely has a chance even if she did that.
You know what?
"l want to die..." sounds more desperate than "l want to live..."
This is the hotel where CEO Choi is. Go see him.
Everyone has a secret or two in their closet.
He's not the nicest guy but you know...
The paperwork looks good.
It should. When you get to my age, you pretty much have life figured out.
Law...it's a funny thing.
The punishment fits the crime? No.
