My Lawyer, Mr. Jo (동네변호사 조들호)

I'm sorry, but could we meet at our construction site?

Mr Lee Myung Joon.

Mr Lee Myung Joon?

Where is he? Where is he?

- Deul Ho! - Mr Joe!

Deul Ho!

- Deul Ho. - Wake up.

- How did this... - Please step aside!

- What happened? - Excuse us!

He is badly injured, so he needs surgery right away.

- Will he live? - Can he die?

No.

- What's going on? - Deul Ho...

Deul Ho...

No...

You can't leave us.

What are you doing?

- He was like a brother to me. - Deul Ho.

What are you doing?

What?

What are you doing?

Oh my gosh.

Mr Joe. What's going on? Are you all right?

Are you okay? Are you hurt?

Stop that. It aches. That's all.

A pain relief patch will do.

You went into surgery...

- We saw... - What surgery?

They said you wouldn't make it.

They said you were going to die. Forget it.

- Who's dying? - Nothing.

- Do you want me to die? - No. No.

I won't die from this.

- Gosh. You punk. - I'm glad you're fine.

- You should've been clearer. - You punk!

- You scared us! - He really fainted.

I thought my heart would stop.

Come on now.

But how could you come to a hospital empty-handed?

Shouldn't you have brought cream puffs or something?

Cream puffs, my foot!

- Wait up. Since you're here... - What?

Go pay the hospital bill.

The bill?

- Goodness. - Okay.

- That little rascal. - Cream puffs?

What happened?

Are you really okay?

My head hurts a little.

Don't you need an MRI or something?

It was really dangerous.

I had a bad feeling about it,

so I brought Yoo Shin with me.

Mr Joe! Mr Joe.

Are you okay?

Who did it?

Why were you at the construction site?

I got a call from someone claiming to be Lee Myung Joon.

Why would Lee Myung Joon have called you?

It could have been someone else claiming to be him.

You're in too much danger.

Don't go anywhere alone.

I'm used to danger. This is all in a day's work.

Are you declaring independence?

Since when was being a lawyer so dangerous?

Other lawyers aren't like that.

It's just you.

Exactly. Why is it that way?

How did it go?

He failed.

- You incompetent fool. - I'm sorry, Sir.

We'll move onto the next stage.

Be careful.

Make sure people don't find out.

Be discreet.

What about Lee Myung Joon?

We're still looking for him.

Find him before Joe Deul Ho does.

If he gets him, it'll be a headache to us all.

Put someone...

on Joe Deul Ho as well.

Yes, Sir.

I received a call from Lee Myung Joon and went to meet him.

When I called,

he did not pick up.

He did not show up where we had agreed to meet.

Who was it?

Who was it?

I really wonder who it was.

Was it Lee Myung Joon?

Or was it Chairman Jung?

Where is...

Lee Myung Joon?

You worked together at the site of the DH building.

People who were abused by Daehwa need to team up in times like these.

Please testify in court.

Please.

- Stop it! - What?

What if I testify,

and Daehwa never gives me work? What then?

Sir. Things may change after this trial.

Please hear me out.

Have some of this.

We need to expose Daehwa Housing for what it is.

You've been there.

This may be the only chance.

Please help us out.

I feel bad for you,

but you should stop.

We would never be able to beat Daehwa.

Just drink.

Don't be so negative.

Just drink.

We have a chance of winning.

Get out.

If they find out you were here, I'll get in trouble. Leave!

Sir.

Sir!

They're so mean.

Let's go.

How was your day?

Did you have any luck?

No. No one will testify.

They must really be afraid.

It looks like you'll be fighting the beast alone.

We didn't expect much.

They may lose even their current jobs if they upset Daehwa.

What are we going to do without witnesses?

It'll be fine. We'll do what we can.

It won't be easy with only your testimony,

but...

We will now begin.

We will combine...

the plaintiff's complaint requesting payment...

for construction work performed,

and the defendant's complaint...

to confirm they owe no debt and their request for damages...

for obstruction of business.

I assume the counsels have no objections.

No, Your Honour.

No, Your Honour.

Defendant claims...

there was no contract for the additional 1.5 million dollars.

I kept asking Daehwa Housing to sign an addendum agreement,

but the person in charge kept pushing it off.

Who was the person in charge?

Director Lee Myung Joon of Daehwa Housing.

Did Director Lee Myung Joon of Daehwa Housing...

say they would pay the additional 1.5 million dollars in costs?

Yes, he definitely did.

But one day, he disappeared...

and the agreement with Daehwa Housing fell through.

No one at Daehwa would even meet with me.

You said it was Director Lee Myung Joon, correct?

You said you had an agreement...

with Director Lee Myung Joon about additional construction work.

Is that correct?

Yes.

Okay.

This is Daehwa Housing's employee record for the past five years.

As you can see,

the name "Lee Myung Joon" doesn't appear anywhere.

That can't be.

All of the subcontractors worked with Lee Myung Joon.

Sadly, Daehwa Housing has nobody by the name of Lee Myung Joon.

That means you should discuss...

the 1.5 million dollars...

with Lee Myung Joon, not with Daehwa Housing.

Objection!

Lee Myung Joon was indeed a director at Daehwa Housing.

I have his business card.

Anyone can print up a business card.

That doesn't prove Lee Myung Joon was Daehwa Housing's employee.

Counsel,

do you have proof or witnesses to support your assertion...

that Lee Myung Joon worked for Daehwa Housing?

There was an employee...

who was hurt while on the job.

Normally, they would've filed for workers' compensation,

but defendant didn't want to receive negative marks.

So plaintiff paid for the victim's medical bills.

Your Honour.

Counsel is confusing the court with irrelevant information.

Objection sustained.

Counsel, please sit down.

I am...

submitting my evidence.

Please look at the screen.

I ask you.

Who is that man...

in the photograph?

He is Director Lee Myung Joon of Daehwa Housing.

I now ask the defendant's counsel.

Who is that in the photograph? Is it Lee Myung Joon?

You may say no if it isn't.

You're not a witness, so you won't be guilty of perjury.

Just speak from your conscience.

Is that Lee Myung Joon?

Yes, it is.

Let's look at the next photo.
