The first 200 lines.
Why are you here?
I didn't want to come,
but other partners at the law firm were extremely worried.
You made them worried, not me.
You went around, giving them ideas.
Someone needed to step forward and save our law firm.
And the only one I could trust is...
myself.
If the prosecution is...
going out of their way to make such an absurd argument,
it means this isn't about winning or losing.
It means they will at least get you in trouble.
This is so unlike you to get yourself...
in such danger.
I'm about to be blamed for what I haven't done.
Can you really continue with this trial?
What did you tell me before? You said this is for Min Joo.
After three years,
I began to think that it'd be better to live than die...
No.
I thought that I definitely need to survive. I have to be alive...
to go out and get my revenge on them.
No, I'm sure that is not what Ms. Kim would've wanted.
That's why I decided to get tried again!
And now they're claiming that I forcefully drugged her.
Is this what she wants?
They're trying to scare us...
with complete nonsense because they don't feel confident.
We'll win in the end. Don't worry.
What do you think?
If he says we will win,
we will.
That is what Ms. Kim would've wanted.
No.
Not what he thinks. If you were me,
would you continue with this trial risking the rest of your life?
I bet the rest of my life on Mr. Choi.
I trust him.
Then you have to win.
If you don't,
I'm going to get you all.
Have you discussed the matters with your client, Mr. Choi?
Your Honor.
The plaintiff still wants to go ahead with the retrial.
I guess you still don't get how things are going to unfold.
Additionally, I think the court should...
sincerely take into consideration that the prosecution...
is trying to pressure the plaintiff with groundless assertions.
Do you seriously think that makes sense...
No, it doesn't make any kind of sense whatsoever.
That's what I wanted to tell you earlier.
Now that the plaintiff wishes to carry on with the retrial,
we'll proceed with the trial tomorrow.
If this is how things work around here,
I'll put on a great show for you.
So let's see who'll end up crying at the end.
If you ever meet a client without my permission again,
you'll be done for.
Okay.
And regarding Park Joon Gyu's hit-and-run accident...
The victim's family can get as much as 500,000 dollars for compensation.
Hurry up and have them settle by tomorrow.
You're the one who prosecuted that boy.
Why are you digging up that case again?
You're the one who got rid of the evidence,
not me.
All I did was catch the guy you pointed out...
as the criminal.
Do you really think I'm going to go down all by myself?
Are you threatening me right now?
Your boss is the one who threatened me...
12 years ago.
Do you know what Prosecutor Oh...
said to me when I refused to fabricate evidence?
He said it's hard to send criminals to prison by just following the law.
So he told me that I had to become more of a bad guy...
than the bad guys I had to catch.
If I refused, he told me that he'd make me...
lose everything I had.
Why don't you just threaten me like he did?
If you feel uneasy about firing me,
I can just walk out on my own.
Are you having a hard time? Do you want to quit?
I'm not having a hard time,
but it seems like you are.
Are you saying you can even read my emotions now?
I... - I never said I'll fire you.
But I won't stop you from quitting if that's what you want.
What's up?
Are you up for a can of beer?
Just one.
If I ask them to come to a settlement,
I'll be no different than the attorney who came to see me...
after my parents passed away.
Of course, you're different.
Unlike you, he wouldn't have been in such agony.
He probably thought of it as nothing more than his job.
But you can't necessarily say that makes him a bad attorney.
It would've been nice if he was a bit more sensitive,
but he was still defending the assailant.
I guess so.
But I'm...
I know.
I know what kind of guy you are,
and I know what's important to you.
They say it's easy to know what someone values...
by looking at the kind of risks they take.
And I support you for having that kind of value in life.
But you told me that you don't ever want to ruin your job...
by being too emotional.
It seems like you're the personal tutor, not me.
I know.
I think I have a talent for helping you out.
Cheers.
They both can't speak Korean.
They've been trying to pay off their debts all their lives.
And it's only been six months since they came to Korea...
just so they could earn some money.
Thanks to the owner, we barely managed to have a funeral here.
Then can you please translate what I'm about to say to them?
Please tell them that both the assailant and I...
are very sorry and regretful about the accident.
Both him and the assailant, Park Joon Gyu,
are very sorry and regretful...
about Sung Hwa's accident and death.
I know very well that his death cannot be converted into money.
I know that you're still mourning,
and I feel miserable for having to say this to you.
Your son did nothing bad...
We are very well aware of how my brother...
ended up getting into that accident.
He wasn't always such a troublemaker.
Back when we were in China, he used to be a nice kid...
who was smart and talented in drawing.
He studied hard and managed to get into a university in Korea.
But things got harder for him after that.
Was it because of the tuition?
He got a student loan and managed to graduate,
but even Koreans have a hard time finding a job these days.
He had a harder time getting a job as a foreigner who majored in art.
Sir.
All we need is the money to pay back his student loan.
How much is that?
50,000 dollars.
I'd like to offer you 500,000 dollars.
500,000 dollars?
To be more exact, I'd like you to ask for that much money.
They're offering us 500,000 dollars for settlement.
Are you serious?
Sir, thank you. Thank you so much.
How's the retrial going?
Han Sun Tae and Kim Jin Gyu. The real criminal is either...
one of them or both.
Do you have evidence?
The blood stain that was on the pack of weed.
You didn't even carry out a DNA test.
Plus, you don't even have a DNA sample to compare this with.
It won't be easy, but don't worry. I'll win this no matter what.
You started this, so you better win.
Even if you win, it's still a problem.
And one more thing.
About Ms. Hong.
Forgive her and move on.
It's not as easy as you think.
I know.
Because you trusted her more than anyone else.
But that's why it makes it easier.
What is it?
Listen.
You look outside your office...
and Ms. Hong is not there.
"Did she go to the bathroom?" But...
days go by, a week goes by, a month goes by,
and then a year goes by, but she still isn't there.
And one day, a new secretary will sit at her desk.
Ms. Hong is gone.
Imagine...
what your life will be like...
without Ms. Hong.
Are you looking for me?
What?
Well, no, I just...
Did you go somewhere?
No. I was right behind you.
Were you?
I'm going to a trial later.
I know.
You're wearing that watch.
I never go to a trial without doing that.
You mean...
the thing we always do...
before you go to a trial.
Yes.
But that thing,
don't you think that's too much...
since we're trying to decide...
whether you should fire me or I should quit?
Are you sure about that?
Please keep your place.
Are you apologizing to me right now?
