Joseon Attorney: A Morality (朝鮮律師 조선변호사)

You are...

Hold it back, Kang Eun Soo.

Do not let him find out.

Let him consider that I am just a lookalike.

I will hold out.

Why are you...

Why are you here?

How...

Do not do that.

Eun Soo...

Eun Soo...

Han Soo...

I am sorry.

I am sorry, Han Soo.

- I am sorry. - Eun Soo...

I am sorry, Han Soo.

What have you said to Eun Soo?

What did you say to entice her,

and why did you use her like that?

Actually,

it was not the former King's order to eliminate Officer Kang.

It was the Queen Dowager,

who wanted to subdue the fury of the subjects.

It was also the Queen Dowager who enthroned the current King...

instead of the former, who suffered from a chronic illness.

So technically speaking,

the Royal Family of Joseon is your enemy.

Will you get your revenge...

against the Royal Family?

I hoped...

to forgive you, Father.

I am waiting for an opportunity...

to understand and forgive you.

Do you not see that?

Do not cry.

And do not worry either.

I will get you out of here.

Han Soo.

I will not condone...

another wrongful death, so...

It is not wrongful.

I was not framed.

It is something I have done.

So...

I will pay for my crime.

No.

No.

Who decides what the price is for your crime?

Do you really think there is justice here?

This kingdom of Joseon...

is entirely rotten!

On top of that, the King wants to kill you.

That is why I am trying to stop him.

So...

Han Soo.

So...

Eun Soo.

Let me save your life first.

Okay?

Okay?

Okay?

Yoo Je Se!

Get away.

I will kill you! You...

Han Soo!

No!

Not Eun Soo.

Not my sister!

You should not have exploited her!

I will kill you.

I will...

kill you!

Let go of me!

Let go!

Let us go.

I will kill you.

I will kill you.

Dong Chi...

Eun Soo... My Eun Soo...

Dong Chi...

What?

Kang Han Soo's sister?

Yes.

She was also exploited by Executive Minister Yoo,

and she has been abandoned.

I see.

That is why.

So please,

you must not create yet another innocent victim.

- Please... - Innocent?

She is not innocent.

Sorry?

I will make sure the subjects of Joseon...

will never be manipulated by a single woman again.

I shall punish her as a warning to others.

But Your Majesty.

A king's reward and punishment...

must be given according to the will of the skies,

and one must not reflect one's personal feelings.

I do not agree.

Is it personal to punish her...

in order to punish Executive Minister Yoo?

Or is it more personal to show mercy because she is a sister of a friend?

You are also trying to persuade me right now...

because of personal feelings.

Kang, who operated a bar in Namchon for middle-class women and widows,

is the daughter of Kang Eon Jik, a former officer in the Royal Court,

and the daughter-in-law of Nam Kyung Moon,

a former governor of Siheung.

Kang Eon Jik?

Is he not a criminal who passed during interrogation for bribery?

You are right.

His daughter must have inherited...

the unethical nature of her father.

Kang was a woman of noble birth.

State your crimes honestly!

But she has not remained chaste and committed adultery with many men.

You must interrogate her thoroughly and punish her accordingly.

I wish to ask the Ministry of Justice...

to interrogate Jang Myung Ki, Jang Yoon, Kim Young Jae,

Seo Byung Ho, Choi Heung Seon, and Lee Geun Woo.

They must be interrogated.

Listen up!

Strip them!

- Yes, my lord! - Yes, my lord!

When...

will you expose my name?

Are you afraid?

Did you approach me...

that night...

to prepare for a day like this?

I eavesdropped on the conversation between the Saheonbu officials.

The King has given secret orders...

to crack down on the illegal trades near the border.

If this issue arises,

who will Executive Minister Yoo put the blame on?

Who will be...

abandoned this time?

What is your purpose...

of telling me this?

I thought...

you were on Executive Minister Yoo's side.

You are mistaken.

As a matter of fact, if you ask me whose side I am on,

I will tell you that I am the daughter of my parents.

Your parents?

Who are your parents?

My father...

once went by the name of Kang Eon Jik.

No way.

You are...

You are...

Officer Kang's daughter?

Yes.

So, I have decided to give you a chance to apologize to my father.

Tell me how I can defeat Executive Minister Yoo.

There were no ledgers.

Are you sure you did not tell me a lie...

to put me in a fix?

If I did...

I would not have been foolish enough to prove my loyalty to you...

by getting this.

I pity you.

Even with all that wealth and power,

what makes you so insecure?

What will you do now?

You have just...

pushed your luck.

What do you think you are doing here?

I have come to calm you down.

Calm me down?

You must be more cautious at a time like this.

Do not make me laugh.

Who could stay calm in this situation?

So, what is it that you want to tell me?

Eun Soo is negatively influenced by your late father's reputation.

They criticize her and her family customs...

and say that she inherited an unethical nature.

Unbelievable. Family customs?

What about them messing with innocent people's lives?

Is that part of the national customs?

Get off me!

If you step up to tell them that you are her brother,

things will get worse for her.

You know better than anyone...

that no one in the Royal Court favors you.

And you are an attorney.

They are even discussing...

whether to ban attorneys by law or not.

Whether you are Eun Soo's brother or an attorney,

stepping forward to help her will only backfire.

Then...

what do you expect me to do?

What you want to do.

Use me to do them.

What must I do...

to save Eun Soo?

Dong Chi?

Eun Soo.

What happened?
