This way, please.

ATTORNEY PARK YU-SEOK

PR DIRECTOR JIN YEONG-JU

Goodness, look who it is.

Goodness. Isn't this place nice?

Please have a seat.

I was surprised to find out you made an appointment.

We could've talked on the phone.

I didn't have your number.

We've spoken over the phone several times.

Regarding Gi-yeong.

I'll save it.

So what brings you here?

Are you here to take my head

now that you're done with your grapes?

Come on.

What would I do with your head?

You're not even that big of a villain.

"Villain"?

Never mind.

I just had one last thing to check with you.

You said you did your best as an attorney.

Do you still stand by your words?

Should I write it down and have it notarized?

So you do.

All right.

Is that really why you came all the way here?

Despite your busy schedule?

Of course.

I just couldn't wrap my head around it.

There's something I've learned while working as an attorney.

Aren't you curious?

There's a fine line

between an attorney and a con artist.

When the incompetent but money-hungry types become attorneys,

they can easily destroy people's lives.

It's an enormous disaster

for such people to become attorneys.

Those people have neither competence nor conscience.

And they all end up being a figurehead or a puppet.

That's right.

I'm talking about you, Mr. Park.

Why is your hand shaking?

Do you want to throw that at me?

They don't even do that in morning dramas anymore.

I actually came by to give you this,

but I joked around for too long.

Tell her I said this.

"1225."

"Nice timing."

DIRECTOR JIN YEONG-JU

Did you give it to him?

- Yes. - Did you meet him?

No.

When I heard I didn't have to meet him,

it made me want to meet him even more.

I worried he'd miss the bait,

but I guess he didn't.

It's a happy day, so put on a big smile.

- Say cheese! - Look at the camera.

I'll take it now.

One, two, three.

Smile!

Take a good photo, please.

Dinh Thi Hoa!

Goodness.

What are you doing here?

Come here.

- Go talk to him. - Okay.

Let's go already!

PRO BONO CONSULTATIONS WITH KEUMHWA LAW FIRM

Move.

This is none of your business,

so move!

Sir.

Ms. Dinh Thi Hoa and her child are under our protection.

- You can't take them. - You must be in charge here.

When you see a wife who ran away with the baby, you should send her home.

They don't need your protection.

They'll both be safer at home.

Move.

Dinh Thi Hoa, come here right now.

Or you're going to regret it!

Sir.

Your wife is going to file for divorce.

If you intimidate her like this,

she'll have to file for a restraining order.

A restraining order?

You've got to be kidding me.

What restraining order?

What restraining order?

Come here right now!

Do you want me to drag you out of there?

Hey, stop right there!

Let me go!

Dinh Thi Hoa, stop right there!

- Call the police! - Hey!

Stop!

Let me go!

Get off me!

Move!

Damn it.

Are you upset?

Get lost.

Or I'll throw you on the ground.

You should meet with Attorney Shin Sung-han.

He'll do his best to help you.

Make sure you show him this business card.

He won't help you otherwise.

He'll be better than a public defender.

I didn't expect him to fall for such an obvious trick.

I'm almost disappointed that he took it so easily.

He must have seen through your ulterior motive.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have come all the way here with this himself.

- Do your best. - Yes, ma'am.

Sorry? Me?

I can't be the one offering the pro bono legal service, right?

I want you to take the case.

Yes, ma'am.

It's been a while since I dealt with a divorce suit.

Also,

Does the number 1225 mean anything?

He mentioned the last four digits of your phone number.

He said, "1225."

"Nice timing."

You could easily find that out yourself.

You could check Jin Yeong-ju's

travel records around that time

to find the answer.

I thought you would tell me.

Were you close to your sister?

You shouldn't be wasting your life away like this.

Don't you think it's a waste of time?

I'm sure Ju-hwa is resting in a better place.

You see,

I couldn't tell you that I cherished my sister…

or that I loved her.

When I went abroad as a teenager,

I never felt bad about leaving her behind.

So why are you doing this?

I don't know.

All I know is…

that if I could go back in time,

I'd go where she was that night

and make sure she didn't die.

But as I looked more into it,

I found that there were better times to go back to.

I'd go back to the time when she hadn't…

married your son.

She used to call me often around that time.

Our father was trying to set her up for marriage against her will.

She wanted me to stop him.

But I failed to do that.

No, I didn't do anything.

Instead…

I told her that she was a grown woman,

so she should deal with it herself.

That was it.

Because back then,

my graduation recital was more important to me.

It was the final recital before getting my doctorate degree.

Although now…

it doesn't mean anything.

You're asking as Ju-hwa's brother, right?

Yes.

The night of her accident…

At that very moment…

Was Ms. Jin in Hawaii?

Yes.

CHAIRMAN SEO CHANG-JIN

Ma'am, the chairman called.

He's worried that he can't reach you.

Okay.

He wants you at his house in Ichon-dong this evening.

All right.

SHIN SUNG-HAN LAW OFFICE ATTORNEY SHIN SUNG-HAN

Call me if you need me.

Can you guarantee that you can win any case?

No.

But I can guarantee

that I'll put up a fight.

DIVORCE ATTORNEY SHIN

Sung-han suited up.

What's today?

Just another ordinary day.

Something's up.

I second that.

- You did it, didn't you? - No.

What do you think we're talking about?

Whatever it is, no.

So you did do it.

You got a new suit as soon as you finished the grapes.

- It's been seven years. - Look how clean-shaven he is.

Are you guys bored?
