(Final Episode)
What's this?
I'm telling you the true nature
of Ms. Park's death.
The nature is that you cornered
Park So Young too aggressively,
so you did something
you shouldn't have as a lawyer.
- That's why
- That's why Ms. Park So Young died?
Do you still believe that?
No. Hong Seok Pal murdered Park So Young.
(Accused Oh Soo Jae)
Hong Seok Pal didn't murder Park So Young.
It was
Chairman Choi Tae Guk of TK Law Firm.
(Board Member Kang Gil Ju)
(Han Sung Bum and Lee In Soo, Recordings)
(Park So Young's Cellphone 1, 2)
(Assemblyman Lee In Soo,
Chairman Han Sung Bum)
Use these.
Ju Wan, my father,
Lee In Soo, Han Sung Bum,
Lee Si Hyuk, and Han Dong O.
With these, you can make them
pay for what they did.
I'm sorry for everything
my father and Ju Wan put you through.
I really am sorry, Soo Jae.
Ms. Oh.
Why are you insisting that
Chairman Choi murdered Ms. Park So Young?
(Call recording,
Park So Young and Choi Tae Guk)
I saw a doctor.
I am pregnant.
Do you have proof that
I am the father of the baby?
I thought you were better than this.
You're being ridiculous.
Ms. Park So Young was pregnant
with Chairman Choi's child.
I need you to do a good job of
making a scandal with An Kang Won.
You want me to do such a thing
knowing I'm carrying your child?
You are a despicable scumbag.
If you want money, I'll give it to you.
Get an abortion with that money.
Then find a different job
and live a quiet life.
However,
Chairman Choi Tae Guk ordered her
to make a scandal with
Assemblyman An Kang Won
in order to get rid of Assemblyman
Lee In Soo's biggest competitor.
You'd better keep your promise.
If not, I'll tell everyone that
I'm pregnant with your child
and that you deliberately manufactured
the scandal involving An Kang Won!
(Disciplinary Board of
Korean Bar Association)
Then Ms. Park demanded
a large amount of money
using the pregnancy and the scandal.
This is complete gibberish.
Mr. Seo, her argument is unfounded.
This is considered slander.
(Recent Files)
Chairman Choi. Thanks to you,
An Kang Won is out of the picture.
I owe you, big-time.
It's time for you to spread
your wings and become President.
Yes, get ready to
spread your wings and fly.
Lee In Soo, Choi Tae Guk, Han Sung Bum.
The Three Musketeers.
We shall spread our wings
and soar together!
It's mere speculation, isn't it?
Your deduced speculation
cannot be considered evidence.
The police investigation concluded
that Ms. Park was
murdered by Hong Seok Pal,
and the guilt drove him to commit suicide.
Han Gi Taek,
who assisted him with his suicide,
confessed to everything
and is behind bars now.
So there is no evidence that
Chairman Choi Tae Guk
murdered Park So Young.
Right, Ms. Oh?
There is no evidence.
It's just an unsubstantiated argument.
I ask that the board
stop Ms. Oh from making
any further defamatory statements.
Otherwise, there will be consequences
for condoning such behaviour.

Korean Bar Association)
(Board Member Hong Ki Pyo, Shim Min Joo)
(My beloved son Ha Seung Yoon,
rest in peace.)
When Jae Yi died,
all the embarrassing things
I had done in the past
flashed before my eyes one by one.
"Why did I live like that?"
"What for?"
"How should I live my life from now on?"
My daughter must be
watching over me from up above,
and I don't want to be
ashamed of myself anymore.
How should you live your life from now on?
The answer is
up to you.
That is
not something I can decide.
Find out
what you mean to Chairman Choi.
Then you can decide what to do.
(Mr. Ha Il Gu)
Ms. Oh.
I'll hand over
everything I have.
So Young.
What are you doing here?
You're always like this.
You called me here.
And you're asking me why I'm here.
Can't you get to the point
without trying to suss me out for once?
I warned you not to come here.
It's better for your own sake.
I liked how clever you were.
Must you disappoint me like this?
So you liked me?
I never liked you.
Funny, isn't it?
You old men never know your place.
On top of that, you have no shame.
I told you.
I've said dozens of times
that I'd get an abortion
and leave this country
the moment you send me money.
Did you think I was joking?
Must you stoop so low?
Yes.
So send me the money at once.
If you don't,
I'll jump off the building and die.
Hey, what are you doing?
If I die with your child in my womb,
you sure will be amused. Right?
Send the money.
If not, I'll jump off
the roof of TK Law Firm,
which you're so proud of,
and take my own life.
Okay, all right. Get down.
Don't do this. You know
it's dangerous. Come on.
Don't act like you're worried about me.
Send the money first.
Five billion won.
I think I deserve that much.
(Live, Lawyer Oh Soo Jae's
Second Disciplinary Hearing)
(Live, Lawyer Oh Soo Jae's
Second Disciplinary Hearing)
(Witness)
I am Ha Il Gu,
TK Chairman's executive secretary.
I was initially going to
get rid of the footage
that shows Chairman Choi Tae Guk
pushing Ms. Park So Young off the building,
but I kept it just in case.
And a little while ago,
I handed it over to Ms. Oh.
(Letter of Resignation)
Sir.
My son wrote me a letter before he died.
"Dad, I really want to
see you take it easy now."
You want to film a video and
make it look like a suicide note?
Then do you have a dead body
you'll put in the car instead of me?
I'm sure I can find one.
My friend of many years died
because I obeyed your orders.
(Those Who Hope Will Never Be Disappointed)
Drink that and stay quiet.
I'll let you out tomorrow.
Really? Seriously?
Gosh, thank you so much.
Because I completely trusted you,
I hurt Kim Dong Gu
and even killed No Byung Chul
as per your order.
If you do this for me,
I'll take care of you.
You don't have to worry about that.
But you asked me to take
the fall for everything,
and it helped me make this choice.
Of course,
I will gladly accept the
punishment I deserve.
Sincerely, Ha Il Gu.
- Father.
- Hey, son.
The things in the secret room
in your study.
I gave them to Soo Jae.
What?
You?
Why did you do that?
I'm sorry, Father.
Please.
Please stop here.
You.
Do you know what I had
to do to come this far?
You're my son.
- How dare you!
- Father!
I have nothing to be ashamed of.
I have always given my all,
and I have always done my very best.
Father.
Please pay for what you did.
Get out!
I do not want to see you
ever again.
Get out at once.
Mr. Seo.
When Ms. Oh was
a public defender ten years ago,
she used a case to her own benefit.
Director Baek Jin Ki proposed to her
that he'd help her join
TK Law Firm if she gave up
proactively defending
Kim Dong Gu in his trial.
She accepted the proposition,
and that's how she joined TK Law Firm.
She dared to strike a deal using the trial.
If this is true,
it means she violated
Article 24.2 of the Attorneys-at-Law Act,
which states that attorneys
mustn't conceal the truth
or make false statements.
This proves that Ms. Oh deserves
severe disciplinary action,
regardless of who was responsible
for Ms. Park So Young's death.
Don't you agree?
Yes, that's right.
However, wasn't such a decision made
because Chairman Choi approved it?
That means Chairman Choi
was involved in it too.
No, my father knew nothing about it.
It was strictly between Ms. Oh
and Director Baek Jin Ki.
Director Baek made such a proposition
using my father's name,
for his own selfish reasons.
Ms. Oh, do you admit this?
(Accused Oh Soo Jae)
Yes, I do.
Mr. Seo.
I would like to request Kim Dong Gu,
the defendant in the trial, as a witness.
If that incident from
ten years ago is brought up,
Gong Chan will step in and
testify as Kim Dong Gu.
Keep that in mind.
What? Gong Chan?
Gong Chan is Kim Dong Gu?
You didn't know?
That arrogant brat was Kim Dong Gu?
Do your research, will you?
If that case is brought up
along with No Byung Chul's case,
you'll have to take the heat
as you put No Byung Chul behind bars.
Do you want everyone to see
the board chair breaking out
in a cold sweat?
Kim Dong Gu? He is here now?
If Kim Dong Gu is here,
let's bring him out.
We should hear what he has to say.
Kim Dong Gu.
Please proceed to the witness stand.
(Board Member Hong Ki Pyo, Shim Min Joo)
(Witness)
I am Kim Dong Gu.
Ten years ago,
the police and prosecution
coerced me into
making a false confession.
No one listened to me or
was willing to believe me.
Everyone
harassed me until I said I did it.
That experience taught me
that having no one
who is even willing to
listen to you or believe you
is pure misery.
But then,
I met someone who believed me.
It was none other
than Ms. Oh Soo Jae, the accused.
After I met Ms. Oh, who was
my public defender at the time,
I was finally able to plead not guilty,
but it was difficult to prove
that the false confession
was coerced by the police and prosecution.
Back then, there were no cameras
in the interview rooms.
And any abusive or cruel acts against me
were done in secret.
However, we managed to confirm
that such harassment actually
occurred during the investigation.
I was the youngest detective
on the team at the time.
(Board Member Kang Gil Ju)
Mr. Kang Gil Ju, who was
the department chief at the time,
said Kim Dong Gu had to be
the culprit no matter what
and told us to squeeze a confession
out of him at all costs.
Mr. Kang was very close to the prosecution.
Mr. Seo Jun Myeong was the
prosecutor in charge of the case.
That crazy little
Kim Dong Gu was accepted as the culprit
because his DNA and fingerprints
were found on the knife.
His confession backed up by the evidence,
which was his fingerprint,
was enough to prove him guilty!
However, the confession
was obtained by coercion and force.
Article 309 of the
Criminal Procedure Act
deems such evidence inadmissible.
And two unidentified fingerprints
were found on the knife
in addition to Kim Dong Gu's print.
Kim Dong Gu's confession
has been proven false,
so it is important that we
identify the two fingerprints.
Then have you managed to
identify the two fingerprints?
Yes, we have.
The first one belonged to Jeon Na Jung,
who is now deceased.
And the second one
was Chairman Choi Tae Guk's.
(Oh Soo Jae, Song Mi Rim)
(Disciplinary Board of
Korean Bar Association)
This tells us that Jeon Na Jung
probably tried to block the knife
with her bare hands.
It also tells us that
Chairman Choi Tae Guk
used the knife to kill
Jeon Na Jung who was alive.
No!
We killed Jeon Na Jung.
I killed her with
Han Dong O and Lee Si Hyuk.
We killed her!
Sir, please calm down.
Choi Ju Wan, Han Dong O, and Lee Si Hyuk.
All this time, they probably
believed that they had killed her,
but that is not what happened.
The three of you brought this girl here.
And you guys killed her. Am I right?
Am I right?
- Yes.
- Yes.
Now, get lost.
I'm really sorry, Father.
Hey, listen to me carefully now.
If anyone ever asks you
about what happened today,
just say
that you don't know.
Nothing else.
Nothing
happened today.
Do you understand?
Yes. I understand, Father.
When Chairman Choi arrived at the scene,
he made Choi Ju Wan,
Han Dong O, and Lee Si Hyuk leave.
Then he saw that Jeon Na Jung wasn't dead,
so he killed her.
Are you writing a novel right now?
You keep listing groundless
speculations without evidence!
There is evidence.
Ha Il Gu, the executive secretary
of Chairman Choi Tae Guk,
secretly filmed them that night.
(Disciplinary Board of
Korean Bar Association)
Chairman Choi killed Jeon Na Jung
with a knife from Chairman Han's house
and wiped the blood off his hand
with the handkerchief from Ha Il Gu.
Ha Il Gu had kept the handkerchief
all these years
and gave the evidence to us.
No.
There was a particular
pattern on the handkerchief.
(Live, Lawyer Oh Soo Jae's
Second Disciplinary Hearing)
You can see that
it matches the pattern of the ring
Chairman Choi always wears.
(Board Member Hong Ki Pyo, Shim Min Joo)
Mr. Ha, please come to
the witness stand again.
(Witness)
Explain the nature of
your relationship with him.
And how did you end up filming this?
Even before the incident took place,
ever since my time in the gang,
I had gathered the information
he needed and ran errands for him.
He told me to come to
Chairman Han's house that night.
I could sense that
something bad had happened.
I was worried
that perhaps, I might end up
taking the fall for everything.
So I filmed it.
Then what did you do?
The chairman killed Jeon Na Jung.
And she was bound with
pressure-sensitive tapes.
After untying the pressure-sensitive tapes,
when I was trying
to abandon the body at
the construction site,
- Over here!
- Kim Dong Gu came to the site
- and discovered the body.
- Na Jung!
Here
So I framed Kim Dong Gu
for the murder.
I would like to take this opportunity
to apologize
to Mr. Kim Dong Gu with all my heart.
I'm sorry.
(Chairman Choi Tae Guk)
This is the place you
and the three of them
ruined my daughter,
Jeon Na Jung, and Kim Dong Gu.
How foolish of you that you failed
to recognize a photo in your office.
You will pay for your shameless actions.
I'm sure you all heard
the name, Kang Eun Seo,
at Nominee Baek Jin Ki's hearing
for the Minister of Justice yesterday.
The night Jeon Na Jung died,
the three of them kidnapped Jeon Na Jung
and dragged her to
Chairman Han Sung Bum's house.
And Kang Eun Seo was there too.
Kang Eun Seo was dragged to
Chairman Han Sung Bum's house.
When she was escaping from the house,
her earring accidentally
came off in the house.
The earring you're looking at
is Kang Eun Seo's earring
which I found at Chairman Han's house
which I bought recently.
When she was running away,
she met a part-timer
at a convenience store,
Jeon Na Jung.
Jeon Na Jung gave her store uniform
to Kang Eun Seo.
And this is Jeon Na Jung's uniform,
which Ms. Oh Soo Jae's team found.
This analysis report confirms
the blood found on the uniform
belongs to Kang Eun Seo.
Kang Eun Seo is
Nominee Baek Jin Ki's daughter
and was once engaged to me.
These individuals abducted her
and violated her.
And they also abducted Jeon Na Jung.
These individuals are Choi Ju Wan,
Han Dong O, and Lee Si Hyuk.
And to cover up their crime,
their fathers joined hands.
Lee In Soo, Han Sung Bum, and Choi Tae Guk.
Moreover, police officers,
prosecutors, judges,
and reporters protected them.
I hope they all face the
punishment they deserve.
And I would like to sincerely
thank Ms. Oh Soo Jae
for stepping up to reveal the truth
which couldn't have been easy.
("Yoon Se Pil Thanks Oh Soo Jae
for Revealing the Truth")
(Korean Bar Association)
(Choi Tae Guk)
(Park So Young, Hong Seok Pal,
Jeon Na Jung, No Byung Chul)
An investigative agency
violated the suspect's rights
and coerced him to make a false confession.
And when his defence counsel tried
to correct the false confession,
the court didn't accept it
as it wasn't credible.
Police officers, prosecutors, and judges
treated the trial as if
it was a part of a play.
They repeatedly covered up
the organized crimes
of the individuals who mocked justice.
And the reporters
were utilized to provide
a strong foundation for their agendas.
Surrounded by these individuals,
I failed to see the shame in my action.
I am disclosing my mistakes at the hearing,
so regardless of the result of
his hearing, I will accept
the board's decision.
(Board Member Hong Ki Pyo, Shim Min Joo)
(Disciplinary Board of
Korean Bar Association)
As the chairperson and
some of the board members
are connected to the cases
that are mentioned today,
the disciplinary board
doesn't deserve to enforce
disciplinary action on the subject.
Accused Oh. No.
Ms. Oh exposed the truth
about many criminal incidents.
And I urge the investigative agency
to thoroughly follow up on them.
And as a member of this board,
I would like to reveal that
there has been foul play from the get-go.
This board was called
because Chairman Choi Tae Guk
used his influence over the legal circle.
Some of the board members
were not acknowledged.
I would like to apologize
to Ms. Oh and the people.
I would like to praise
Ms. Oh and her legal team
for their hard work to
disclose the truth behind
Park So Young and Hong Seok Pal's deaths
and the incident from ten years ago.
(Accused Oh Soo Jae)
(Disciplinary Board of
Korean Bar Association)
Ms. Ji.
Dong Gu.
Thank you.
Thank you so much, Dong Gu.
Ms. Ji.
I'm sorry I took so long.
No.
Thank you.
Hansu Bio
deceived us into thinking that
the phase-three clinical trial
had been approved.
We've also confirmed
a number of serious
deal-breaker issues such as
accounting fraud, money laundering
using dummy companies, and so on.
This is a clear violation of
the terms and conditions
of the agreement, and therefore,
only SP Partners holds the right
to nullify this contract.
We ask that the up-front payment
and penalty be returned at once.
Father.
Well
Jeon Na Jung.
Did you really kill her?
No, right?
Dong O, Si Hyuk, and I killed her.
All you did was get Mr. Ha
to clean up the mess.
That's what happened, right?
I did it for you.
What?
No, Father. That's
How could you think
it was a good thing for me?
It tormented me, and I felt horrible
for putting you through that.
That's why I did everything
you told me to do.
I broke up with Soo Jae
when you told me to.
You told me to make it look like
Seung Yeon was Jae Yi's mother,
so I did that too.
I did everything you told me to do, Father!
At Ms. Oh Soo Jae's
disciplinary hearing earlier today,
it was revealed that Mr. Lee and
even his son were involved in it.
Is it true?
Yes, it is true.
- What?
- It's true?
About what our sons did.
Has everything been sorted out?
Did you get rid of the body too?
Yes, sir.
We're one now.
Chairman Han, Chief Prosecutor
Choi Tae Guk, and me, Lee In Soo.
We'll get through this and
build a bright future together.
Ten years ago, Assemblyman Lee In Soo
joined hands with
Chairman Choi and Chairman Han
to cover up the crime
committed by their sons,
Lee Si Hyuk, Choi Ju Wan, and Han Dong O.
They're also legally
responsible for the deaths
of Park So Young and Hong Seok Pal.
As of today, I am stepping down
as Assemblyman Lee's spokesperson.
SP Partners stated that
they alone hold the right
to nullify the contract
and that the up-front payment
and penalty must be returned.
Does Hansu Group agree with that statement?
I don't think we have a choice.
TK's Chairman Choi Tae Guk
and Assemblyman Lee In Soo
were deeply involved in
Chairman Han Sung Bum's
money laundering activities.
The issues with Hansu Bio's
phase-three clinical trial
and concealing
clinical trial victims are all true.
Chairman Han and Director Han Dong O
were also deeply involved
in the crimes that Ms. Oh
exposed during her hearing.
I sincerely apologize as the
company's Chief Legal Officer,
and I'd like to let you know that
I am stepping down as of today.
Hey, Soo Jae. Thanks to you,
I wrapped it up well.
You, Hee Young, and I should go out
for a drink together, Soo Jae.
(Barbershop)
The sell-off deal involving
Hansu Group, TK Law Firm,
and SP Partners is the talk of the town.
It is said that Hansu Group
and TK Law Firm
owe SP Partners an
astronomical amount of money
based on the terms of their agreement.
Rumour has it that some
of Hansu's subsidiaries
and TK Law Firm may declare bankruptcy.
There's more.
Assemblyman Lee In Soo.
He is no longer a presidential candidate.
Assemblyman Lee, Chairman Han Sung Bum,
Chairman Choi Tae Guk,
and even their sons are
awaiting investigation.
The police will arrest you
tomorrow morning.
This is the last time you'll hear from me.
(Managing Partner Choi Ju Wan)
(Tasanjiseok)
Ta-Da.
What's on your mind?
"How should I live my life?"
"What is a good life?"
"Am I living life well enough?"
Whatever you do, just be free
and go slow
while having as much fun as you can.
It's fine even if you fail.
What?
Because I'll be right by
your side no matter what.
In this world,
which is never fair or just,
the law must be applied
equally to everyone,
and you must dutifully carry out
your responsibilities.

(Yeongpyeong District

I was so close.
I was almost there.
(Oh Soo Jae)
(Oh Soo Jae)
Hello, sir.
Hey.
You're the only one.
No one else is picking up my call,
except for you.
You sound drunk.
You should stop drinking.
How would it have turned out if I hadn't
taken you in?
How would it have turned out
if I accepted you
as my daughter-in-law?
Would it have changed anything?
Soo Jae.
I have always
given my all.
I have done my best in
every moment of my life.
No, sir.
You can't call that doing your best.
What you did was evil.
No. It wasn't evil.
It was the best thing I
could have done for my life.
It was the power that protected me.
That's how I was able to come this far.
You must regret it,
be ashamed,
and be embarrassed by it.
That's
what only weak people
do.
I am not ashamed
of my life.
But I have
only one regret.
That
I let you come back
to my firm.
And
although
you stopped me,
don't
fool yourself that
you won.
Where are you right now?
You did not
beat me.
You didn't.
(Oh Soo Jae)
Sir. Hello? Sir!
Is something wrong?
Hold on.
TK Law Firm.
Chairman Choi Tae Guk is very
drunk and sounds really off.
It's mine.
All the positions belong to me.
Interns, associates,
partners, and managing partners.
Even those lowly positions for
security guards and cleaners.
They are all mine.
- He's here.
- There he is.
Do you admit that you laundered money
through the paper company?
You're about to be investigated.
How do you feel?
Is it true that you covered up
Hansu Bio's clinical trials?
Where did the slush fund
from Hansu Group go?
All right. I'm an honest man.
Look. I'm not in some wheelchair
and pretending to be sick.
I did some illegal things.
But the real bad guy is
the late chairman, Choi Tae Guk.
I'm sure he's in a pit of fire now.
Where did the slush fund
from Hansu Group go?
It's kind of late for me to say this.
But make good friends.
- Do you admit your relationship?
- How much was your involvement?
- We support you!
- You have our support!
- We support you!
- We support you!
- We support you!
- We support you!
- You have our support!
- You have our support!
- We support you!
- You have our support!
- Assemblyman Lee.
- You can't do that.
- Sir.
- What just happened?
- Are you all right?
- I'm okay.
I'm all right.
Let the gentleman go. I'm okay.
I'm fine, everyone. Don't worry.
I'm all right, everyone.
After I am forgiven
by the people,
I will do my best to come back!
- We support you!
- Lee In Soo!
- Lee In Soo!
- You have our support!
- Lee In Soo!
- You can do it!
- We support you!
- You can do it!
(Chairman Choi Tae Guk)
(Court)
Your Honour. The defendant
committed a grave crime.
In 2008, the bank president
of Geummyeong Savings Bank,
Geum Sae Yong asked him
for a favourable ruling by the court.
He pressured his junior who was
the judge in charge of the case
and received 200 million won
from an illegal loan broker,
Geum Seok Chae,
for making the introduction.
But Your Honour.
The defendant truly regrets what he did.
And he has been going through a tough time,
looking after his sick daughter
who's suffering mentally
after a criminal incident.
He played an important role
in uncovering the truth.
And he also donated all of
his money to an association
for the victims of Geummyeong Savings Bank.
He did his best to compensate
the victims as best as he could.
Please consider these
mitigating circumstances.
Defendant, is there anything
you would like to say?
(Defendant)
(Defence Counsel)
I continued to live
my lonely, petty life.
My life is filled with shame.
But thanks to Ms. Oh,
I was able to see justice
in my daughter's case
and remove the layers of evil from my life.
More importantly, thanks to Ms. Oh,
I am able to stand here
and face the punishment for my actions.
Thank you.
Your Honour.
Please give me a heavy sentence.
Anyone who commits a crime
must face punishment.
Please show the world that
especially officers of
the court must be held
to a higher standard.
(Six months later)
It's been a while, Ms. Oh.
Mr. Baek sends his regards.
Is he doing well?
Yes.
He said he was actually relieved.
I'm a bit worried that Eun Seo
seems to notice his absence.
I came to make an offer.
I would like to invest in your firm,
Central Law Office.
Why don't you expand it
into a major law firm?
And I'd love to have you as
my company's legal advisor.
Hansu Group is still
giving me a headache
about the cancellation of the contract.
I'm grateful for your offer,
but I'll decline.
I like where I am now.
I'm curious what your secret is.
I mean, you seem genuinely happy.
Well,
every day of my life belongs to me.
I can follow my own will
and make my own decisions.
And the consequences are all mine to bear.
That's a pretty grand thing.
Regardless of how things turn out,
when I'm happy, I bask in joy.
When things don't work out
"So what?" And I look for another way.
If it still doesn't "Oh, well."
Isn't it silly?
But
I like the way I'm living my life now.
I envy you.
Congratulations.
We're recruiting more students
for the Legal Clinic Center.
The Legal Clinic Center
plans to lodge a class action suit
against the victims
of Hansu Bio's clinical trials and
provide free legal counselling.
We look forward to
meeting our new students.
(Advanced Fieldwork for Lawyers)
She's late again.
I knew it. She never changes.
We have less than ten minutes left.
(Never let my client end up in prison.)
(Never let my client end up in prison.)
That's the first and last thing
of your advanced fieldwork as lawyers.
But
there are some things
you must follow as lawyers.
Just because you know a bit about the law,
don't interpret it
how you see it and abuse it.
Don't abuse the law
for certain benefits or individuals.
The law must be fair and just for everyone.
One more thing.
The law is flawed.
Finding the flaw and using it
to the client's advantage
is one of the skills lawyers must have.
I used those strategies
to become a so-called successful lawyer.
But I stand here before you,
not as a successful lawyer.
My successful career
came with a lot of shame.
I have a lot of regrets and shame.
So I am trying not to be
a so-called successful lawyer.
I'm just a mere lawyer.
I hope you will arduously think
about the direction that
will bring you to success
instead of fixating on success itself.
Lastly, in whatever circumstances,
you must protect yourselves.
Don't let people walk all over you.
Become a grounded, strong lawyer.
Just like last semester,
there might be a lecture from time to time.
What? Again?
- No way.
- It can't be.
Your grades
will solely be based on
your analysis of a ruling.
That's the only assignment?
- It's that again.
- Come on.
I promised a few things to the
student who came in first
last semester.
The 20 million won to put toward
tuition fees and some more.
And an internship at TK Law Firm.
I already kept my promise
about the monetary aspect.
- What? Who got the money?
- Who was it?
I believe the student who got
the money from me is here.
- Who is it? Was it you?
- Was it you?
I will be interning at your law office,
not at TK Law Firm, right?
As long as you want to.
Oh, please. I'll join you no matter what.
If you don't like my method,
you can drop the class now.
- What is it?
- Hold on.
This is the guest lawyer
of the Legal Clinic Center,
Ms. Song Mi Rim.
If you have any questions
about the rulings,
feel free to ask her any questions.
I know these cases,
so I welcome any questions any day.
Right. The money is off the table
for this semester.
- What? Why not?
- Why not?
I'm broke.
- Come on.
- What about the money?
All right. Everyone, come and get one.

(Final Episode)
What's this?
I'm telling you the true nature
of Ms. Park's death.
The nature is that you cornered
Park So Young too aggressively,
so you did something
you shouldn't have as a lawyer.
- That's why
- That's why Ms. Park So Young died?
Do you still believe that?
No. Hong Seok Pal murdered Park So Young.
(Accused Oh Soo Jae)
Hong Seok Pal didn't murder Park So Young.
It was
Chairman Choi Tae Guk of TK Law Firm.
(Board Member Kang Gil Ju)
(Han Sung Bum and Lee In Soo, Recordings)
(Park So Young's Cellphone 1, 2)
(Assemblyman Lee In Soo,
Chairman Han Sung Bum)
Use these.
Ju Wan, my father,
Lee In Soo, Han Sung Bum,
Lee Si Hyuk, and Han Dong O.
With these, you can make them
pay for what they did.
I'm sorry for everything
my father and Ju Wan put you through.
I really am sorry, Soo Jae.
Ms. Oh.
Why are you insisting that
Chairman Choi murdered Ms. Park So Young?
(Call recording,
Park So Young and Choi Tae Guk)
I saw a doctor.
I am pregnant.
Do you have proof that
I am the father of the baby?
I thought you were better than this.
You're being ridiculous.
Ms. Park So Young was pregnant
with Chairman Choi's child.
I need you to do a good job of
making a scandal with An Kang Won.
You want me to do such a thing
knowing I'm carrying your child?
You are a despicable scumbag.
If you want money, I'll give it to you.
Get an abortion with that money.
Then find a different job
and live a quiet life.
However,
Chairman Choi Tae Guk ordered her
to make a scandal with
Assemblyman An Kang Won
in order to get rid of Assemblyman
Lee In Soo's biggest competitor.
You'd better keep your promise.
If not, I'll tell everyone that
I'm pregnant with your child
and that you deliberately manufactured
the scandal involving An Kang Won!
(Disciplinary Board of
Korean Bar Association)
Then Ms. Park demanded
a large amount of money
using the pregnancy and the scandal.
This is complete gibberish.
Mr. Seo, her argument is unfounded.
This is considered slander.
(Recent Files)
Chairman Choi. Thanks to you,
An Kang Won is out of the picture.
I owe you, big-time.
It's time for you to spread
your wings and become President.
Yes, get ready to
spread your wings and fly.
Lee In Soo, Choi Tae Guk, Han Sung Bum.
The Three Musketeers.
We shall spread our wings
and soar together!
It's mere speculation, isn't it?
Your deduced speculation
cannot be considered evidence.
The police investigation concluded
that Ms. Park was
murdered by Hong Seok Pal,
and the guilt drove him to commit suicide.
Han Gi Taek,
who assisted him with his suicide,
confessed to everything
and is behind bars now.
So there is no evidence that
Chairman Choi Tae Guk
murdered Park So Young.
Right, Ms. Oh?
There is no evidence.
It's just an unsubstantiated argument.
I ask that the board
stop Ms. Oh from making
any further defamatory statements.
Otherwise, there will be consequences
for condoning such behaviour.

all the embarrassing things
I had done in the past
flashed before my eyes one by one.
"Why did I live like that?"
"What for?"
"How should I live my life from now on?"
My daughter must be
watching over me from up above,
and I don't want to be
ashamed of myself anymore.
How should you live your life from now on?
The answer is
up to you.
That is
not something I can decide.
Find out
what you mean to Chairman Choi.
Then you can decide what to do.
(Mr. Ha Il Gu)
Ms. Oh.
I'll hand over
everything I have.
So Young.
What are you doing here?
You're always like this.
You called me here.
And you're asking me why I'm here.
Can't you get to the point
without trying to suss me out for once?
I warned you not to come here.
It's better for your own sake.
I liked how clever you were.
Must you disappoint me like this?
So you liked me?
I never liked you.
Funny, isn't it?
You old men never know your place.
On top of that, you have no shame.
I told you.
I've said dozens of times
that I'd get an abortion
and leave this country
the moment you send me money.
Did you think I was joking?
Must you stoop so low?
Yes.
So send me the money at once.
If you don't,
I'll jump off the building and die.
Hey, what are you doing?
If I die with your child in my womb,
you sure will be amused. Right?
Send the money.
If not, I'll jump off
the roof of TK Law Firm,
which you're so proud of,
and take my own life.
Okay, all right. Get down.
Don't do this. You know
it's dangerous. Come on.
Don't act like you're worried about me.
Send the money first.
Five billion won.
I think I deserve that much.

And a little while ago,
I handed it over to Ms. Oh.

Sir.
My son wrote me a letter before he died.
"Dad, I really want to
see you take it easy now."
You want to film a video and
make it look like a suicide note?
Then do you have a dead body
you'll put in the car instead of me?
I'm sure I can find one.

Really? Seriously?
Gosh, thank you so much.
Because I completely trusted you,
I hurt Kim Dong Gu
and even killed No Byung Chul
as per your order.
If you do this for me,
I'll take care of you.
You don't have to worry about that.
But you asked me to take
the fall for everything,
and it helped me make this choice.
Of course,
I will gladly accept the
punishment I deserve.
Sincerely, Ha Il Gu.
- Father.
- Hey, son.
The things in the secret room
in your study.
I gave them to Soo Jae.
What?
You?
Why did you do that?
I'm sorry, Father.
Please.
Please stop here.
You.
Do you know what I had
to do to come this far?
You're my son.
- How dare you!
- Father!
I have nothing to be ashamed of.
I have always given my all,
and I have always done my very best.
Father.
Please pay for what you did.
Get out!
I do not want to see you
ever again.
Get out at once.
Mr. Seo.
When Ms. Oh was
a public defender ten years ago,
she used a case to her own benefit.
Director Baek Jin Ki proposed to her
that he'd help her join
TK Law Firm if she gave up
proactively defending
Kim Dong Gu in his trial.
She accepted the proposition,
and that's how she joined TK Law Firm.
She dared to strike a deal using the trial.
If this is true,
it means she violated
Article 24.2 of the Attorneys-at-Law Act,
which states that attorneys
mustn't conceal the truth
or make false statements.
This proves that Ms. Oh deserves
severe disciplinary action,
regardless of who was responsible
for Ms. Park So Young's death.
Don't you agree?
Yes, that's right.
However, wasn't such a decision made
because Chairman Choi approved it?
That means Chairman Choi
was involved in it too.
No, my father knew nothing about it.
It was strictly between Ms. Oh
and Director Baek Jin Ki.
Director Baek made such a proposition
using my father's name,
for his own selfish reasons.
Ms. Oh, do you admit this?
(Accused Oh Soo Jae)
Yes, I do.
Mr. Seo.
I would like to request Kim Dong Gu,
the defendant in the trial, as a witness.
If that incident from
ten years ago is brought up,
Gong Chan will step in and
testify as Kim Dong Gu.
Keep that in mind.
What? Gong Chan?
Gong Chan is Kim Dong Gu?
You didn't know?
That arrogant brat was Kim Dong Gu?
Do your research, will you?
If that case is brought up
along with No Byung Chul's case,
you'll have to take the heat
as you put No Byung Chul behind bars.
Do you want everyone to see
the board chair breaking out
in a cold sweat?
Kim Dong Gu? He is here now?
If Kim Dong Gu is here,
let's bring him out.
We should hear what he has to say.
Kim Dong Gu.
Please proceed to the witness stand.
(Board Member Hong Ki Pyo, Shim Min Joo)
(Witness)
I am Kim Dong Gu.
Ten years ago,
the police and prosecution
coerced me into
making a false confession.
No one listened to me or
was willing to believe me.
Everyone
harassed me until I said I did it.
That experience taught me
that having no one
who is even willing to
listen to you or believe you
is pure misery.
But then,
I met someone who believed me.
It was none other
than Ms. Oh Soo Jae, the accused.
After I met Ms. Oh, who was
my public defender at the time,
I was finally able to plead not guilty,
but it was difficult to prove
that the false confession
was coerced by the police and prosecution.
Back then, there were no cameras
in the interview rooms.
And any abusive or cruel acts against me
were done in secret.
However, we managed to confirm
that such harassment actually
occurred during the investigation.
I was the youngest detective
on the team at the time.
(Board Member Kang Gil Ju)
Mr. Kang Gil Ju, who was
the department chief at the time,
said Kim Dong Gu had to be
the culprit no matter what
and told us to squeeze a confession
out of him at all costs.
Mr. Kang was very close to the prosecution.
Mr. Seo Jun Myeong was the
prosecutor in charge of the case.
That crazy little
Kim Dong Gu was accepted as the culprit
because his DNA and fingerprints
were found on the knife.
His confession backed up by the evidence,
which was his fingerprint,
was enough to prove him guilty!
However, the confession
was obtained by coercion and force.
Article 309 of the
Criminal Procedure Act
deems such evidence inadmissible.
And two unidentified fingerprints
were found on the knife
in addition to Kim Dong Gu's print.
Kim Dong Gu's confession
has been proven false,
so it is important that we
identify the two fingerprints.
Then have you managed to
identify the two fingerprints?
Yes, we have.
The first one belonged to Jeon Na Jung,
who is now deceased.
And the second one
was Chairman Choi Tae Guk's.
(Oh Soo Jae, Song Mi Rim)
(Disciplinary Board of
Korean Bar Association)
This tells us that Jeon Na Jung
probably tried to block the knife
with her bare hands.
It also tells us that
Chairman Choi Tae Guk
used the knife to kill
Jeon Na Jung who was alive.
No!
We killed Jeon Na Jung.
I killed her with
Han Dong O and Lee Si Hyuk.
We killed her!
Sir, please calm down.
Choi Ju Wan, Han Dong O, and Lee Si Hyuk.
All this time, they probably
believed that they had killed her,
but that is not what happened.
The three of you brought this girl here.
And you guys killed her. Am I right?
Am I right?
- Yes.
- Yes.
Now, get lost.
I'm really sorry, Father.
Hey, listen to me carefully now.
If anyone ever asks you
about what happened today,
just say
that you don't know.
Nothing else.
Nothing
happened today.
Do you understand?
Yes. I understand, Father.
When Chairman Choi arrived at the scene,
he made Choi Ju Wan,
Han Dong O, and Lee Si Hyuk leave.
Then he saw that Jeon Na Jung wasn't dead,
so he killed her.
Are you writing a novel right now?
You keep listing groundless
speculations without evidence!
There is evidence.
Ha Il Gu, the executive secretary
of Chairman Choi Tae Guk,
secretly filmed them that night.
(Disciplinary Board of
Korean Bar Association)
Chairman Choi killed Jeon Na Jung
with a knife from Chairman Han's house
and wiped the blood off his hand
with the handkerchief from Ha Il Gu.
Ha Il Gu had kept the handkerchief
all these years
and gave the evidence to us.
No.
There was a particular
pattern on the handkerchief.
(Live, Lawyer Oh Soo Jae's
Second Disciplinary Hearing)
You can see that
it matches the pattern of the ring
Chairman Choi always wears.
(Board Member Hong Ki Pyo, Shim Min Joo)
Mr. Ha, please come to
the witness stand again.
(Witness)
Explain the nature of
your relationship with him.
And how did you end up filming this?
Even before the incident took place,
ever since my time in the gang,
I had gathered the information
he needed and ran errands for him.
He told me to come to
Chairman Han's house that night.
I could sense that
something bad had happened.
I was worried
that perhaps, I might end up
taking the fall for everything.
So I filmed it.
Then what did you do?
The chairman killed Jeon Na Jung.
And she was bound with
pressure-sensitive tapes.
After untying the pressure-sensitive tapes,
when I was trying
to abandon the body at
the construction site,
- Over here!
- Kim Dong Gu came to the site
- and discovered the body.
- Na Jung!
Here
So I framed Kim Dong Gu
for the murder.
I would like to take this opportunity
to apologize
to Mr. Kim Dong Gu with all my heart.
I'm sorry.
(Chairman Choi Tae Guk)
This is the place you
and the three of them
ruined my daughter,
Jeon Na Jung, and Kim Dong Gu.
How foolish of you that you failed
to recognize a photo in your office.
You will pay for your shameless actions.
I'm sure you all heard
the name, Kang Eun Seo,
at Nominee Baek Jin Ki's hearing
for the Minister of Justice yesterday.
The night Jeon Na Jung died,
the three of them kidnapped Jeon Na Jung
and dragged her to
Chairman Han Sung Bum's house.
And Kang Eun Seo was there too.
Kang Eun Seo was dragged to
Chairman Han Sung Bum's house.
When she was escaping from the house,
her earring accidentally
came off in the house.
The earring you're looking at
is Kang Eun Seo's earring
which I found at Chairman Han's house
which I bought recently.
When she was running away,
she met a part-timer
at a convenience store,
Jeon Na Jung.
Jeon Na Jung gave her store uniform
to Kang Eun Seo.
And this is Jeon Na Jung's uniform,
which Ms. Oh Soo Jae's team found.
This analysis report confirms
the blood found on the uniform
belongs to Kang Eun Seo.
Kang Eun Seo is
Nominee Baek Jin Ki's daughter
and was once engaged to me.
These individuals abducted her
and violated her.
And they also abducted Jeon Na Jung.
These individuals are Choi Ju Wan,
Han Dong O, and Lee Si Hyuk.
And to cover up their crime,
their fathers joined hands.
Lee In Soo, Han Sung Bum, and Choi Tae Guk.
Moreover, police officers,
prosecutors, judges,
and reporters protected them.
I hope they all face the
punishment they deserve.
And I would like to sincerely
thank Ms. Oh Soo Jae
for stepping up to reveal the truth
which couldn't have been easy.
("Yoon Se Pil Thanks Oh Soo Jae
for Revealing the Truth")
(Korean Bar Association)
(Choi Tae Guk)
(Park So Young, Hong Seok Pal,
Jeon Na Jung, No Byung Chul)
An investigative agency
violated the suspect's rights
and coerced him to make a false confession.
And when his defence counsel tried
to correct the false confession,
the court didn't accept it
as it wasn't credible.
Police officers, prosecutors, and judges
treated the trial as if
it was a part of a play.
They repeatedly covered up
the organized crimes
of the individuals who mocked justice.
And the reporters
were utilized to provide
a strong foundation for their agendas.
Surrounded by these individuals,
I failed to see the shame in my action.
I am disclosing my mistakes at the hearing,
so regardless of the result of
his hearing, I will accept
the board's decision.
(Board Member Hong Ki Pyo, Shim Min Joo)
(Disciplinary Board of
Korean Bar Association)
As the chairperson and
some of the board members
are connected to the cases
that are mentioned today,
the disciplinary board
doesn't deserve to enforce
disciplinary action on the subject.
Accused Oh. No.
Ms. Oh exposed the truth
about many criminal incidents.
And I urge the investigative agency
to thoroughly follow up on them.
And as a member of this board,
I would like to reveal that
there has been foul play from the get-go.
This board was called
because Chairman Choi Tae Guk
used his influence over the legal circle.
Some of the board members
were not acknowledged.
I would like to apologize
to Ms. Oh and the people.
I would like to praise
Ms. Oh and her legal team
for their hard work to
disclose the truth behind
Park So Young and Hong Seok Pal's deaths
and the incident from ten years ago.
(Accused Oh Soo Jae)
(Disciplinary Board of
Korean Bar Association)
Ms. Ji.
Dong Gu.
Thank you.
Thank you so much, Dong Gu.
Ms. Ji.
I'm sorry I took so long.
No.
Thank you.
Hansu Bio
deceived us into thinking that
the phase-three clinical trial
had been approved.
We've also confirmed
a number of serious
deal-breaker issues such as
accounting fraud, money laundering
using dummy companies, and so on.
This is a clear violation of
the terms and conditions
of the agreement, and therefore,
only SP Partners holds the right
to nullify this contract.
We ask that the up-front payment
and penalty be returned at once.
Father.
Well
Jeon Na Jung.
Did you really kill her?
No, right?
Dong O, Si Hyuk, and I killed her.
All you did was get Mr. Ha
to clean up the mess.
That's what happened, right?
I did it for you.
What?
No, Father. That's
How could you think
it was a good thing for me?
It tormented me, and I felt horrible
for putting you through that.
That's why I did everything
you told me to do.
I broke up with Soo Jae
when you told me to.
You told me to make it look like
Seung Yeon was Jae Yi's mother,
so I did that too.
I did everything you told me to do, Father!
At Ms. Oh Soo Jae's
disciplinary hearing earlier today,
it was revealed that Mr. Lee and
even his son were involved in it.
Is it true?
Yes, it is true.
- What?
- It's true?
About what our sons did.
Has everything been sorted out?
Did you get rid of the body too?
Yes, sir.
We're one now.
Chairman Han, Chief Prosecutor
Choi Tae Guk, and me, Lee In Soo.
We'll get through this and
build a bright future together.
Ten years ago, Assemblyman Lee In Soo
joined hands with
Chairman Choi and Chairman Han
to cover up the crime
committed by their sons,
Lee Si Hyuk, Choi Ju Wan, and Han Dong O.
They're also legally
responsible for the deaths
of Park So Young and Hong Seok Pal.
As of today, I am stepping down
as Assemblyman Lee's spokesperson.
SP Partners stated that
they alone hold the right
to nullify the contract
and that the up-front payment
and penalty must be returned.
Does Hansu Group agree with that statement?
I don't think we have a choice.
TK's Chairman Choi Tae Guk
and Assemblyman Lee In Soo
were deeply involved in
Chairman Han Sung Bum's
money laundering activities.
The issues with Hansu Bio's
phase-three clinical trial
and concealing
clinical trial victims are all true.
Chairman Han and Director Han Dong O
were also deeply involved
in the crimes that Ms. Oh
exposed during her hearing.
I sincerely apologize as the
company's Chief Legal Officer,
and I'd like to let you know that
I am stepping down as of today.
Hey, Soo Jae. Thanks to you,
I wrapped it up well.
You, Hee Young, and I should go out
for a drink together, Soo Jae.
(Barbershop)
The sell-off deal involving
Hansu Group, TK Law Firm,
and SP Partners is the talk of the town.
It is said that Hansu Group
and TK Law Firm
owe SP Partners an

Rumour has it that some
of Hansu's subsidiaries
and TK Law Firm may declare bankruptcy.
There's more.

Hello, sir.
Hey.
You're the only one.
No one else is picking up my call,
except for you.
You sound drunk.
You should stop drinking.
How would it have turned out if I hadn't
taken you in?
How would it have turned out
if I accepted you

Would it have changed anything?

I have done my best in

No, sir.
You can't call that doing your best.
What you did was evil.
No. It wasn't evil.
It was the best thing I
could have done for my life.
It was the power that protected me.
That's how I was able to come this far.
You must regret it,
be ashamed,
and be embarrassed by it.
That's
what only weak people
do.
I am not ashamed
of my life.
But I have
only one regret.
That
I let you come back

And
although
you stopped me,
don't
fool yourself that
you won.
Where are you right now?
You did not
beat me.
You didn't.
(Oh Soo Jae)
Sir. Hello? Sir!
Is something wrong?
Hold on.
TK Law Firm.
Chairman Choi Tae Guk is very
drunk and sounds really off.
It's mine.
All the positions belong to me.
Interns, associates,
partners, and managing partners.
Even those lowly positions for
security guards and cleaners.
They are all mine.
- He's here.
- There he is.
Do you admit that you laundered money
through the paper company?
You're about to be investigated.
How do you feel?
Is it true that you covered up
Hansu Bio's clinical trials?
Where did the slush fund
from Hansu Group go?
All right. I'm an honest man.
Look. I'm not in some wheelchair
and pretending to be sick.
I did some illegal things.
But the real bad guy is
the late chairman, Choi Tae Guk.
I'm sure he's in a pit of fire now.
Where did the slush fund
from Hansu Group go?
It's kind of late for me to say this.
But make good friends.
- Do you admit your relationship?
- How much was your involvement?
- We support you!
- You have our support!

- What just happened?
- Are you all right?
- I'm okay.
I'm all right.
Let the gentleman go. I'm okay.
I'm fine, everyone. Don't worry.
I'm all right, everyone.
After I am forgiven
by the people,
I will do my best to come back!

(Court)
Your Honour. The defendant
committed a grave crime.
In 2008, the bank president
of Geummyeong Savings Bank,
Geum Sae Yong asked him
for a favourable ruling by the court.
He pressured his junior who was
the judge in charge of the case
and received 200 million won
from an illegal loan broker,
Geum Seok Chae,
for making the introduction.
But Your Honour.
The defendant truly regrets what he did.
And he has been going through a tough time,
looking after his sick daughter
who's suffering mentally
after a criminal incident.
He played an important role
in uncovering the truth.
And he also donated all of
his money to an association
for the victims of Geummyeong Savings Bank.
He did his best to compensate
the victims as best as he could.
Please consider these
mitigating circumstances.
Defendant, is there anything
you would like to say?
(Defendant)
(Defence Counsel)
I continued to live
my lonely, petty life.
My life is filled with shame.
But thanks to Ms. Oh,
I was able to see justice
in my daughter's case
and remove the layers of evil from my life.
More importantly, thanks to Ms. Oh,
I am able to stand here
and face the punishment for my actions.
Thank you.
Your Honour.
Please give me a heavy sentence.
Anyone who commits a crime
must face punishment.
Please show the world that
especially officers of
the court must be held
to a higher standard.
(Six months later)
It's been a while, Ms. Oh.
Mr. Baek sends his regards.
Is he doing well?
Yes.
He said he was actually relieved.
I'm a bit worried that Eun Seo
seems to notice his absence.
I came to make an offer.
I would like to invest in your firm,
Central Law Office.
Why don't you expand it
into a major law firm?
And I'd love to have you as
my company's legal advisor.
Hansu Group is still
giving me a headache
about the cancellation of the contract.
I'm grateful for your offer,
but I'll decline.
I like where I am now.
I'm curious what your secret is.
I mean, you seem genuinely happy.
Well,
every day of my life belongs to me.
I can follow my own will
and make my own decisions.
And the consequences are all mine to bear.
That's a pretty grand thing.
Regardless of how things turn out,
when I'm happy, I bask in joy.
When things don't work out
"So what?" And I look for another way.
If it still doesn't "Oh, well."
Isn't it silly?
But
I like the way I'm living my life now.
I envy you.
Congratulations.
We're recruiting more students
for the Legal Clinic Center.
The Legal Clinic Center
plans to lodge a class action suit
against the victims
of Hansu Bio's clinical trials and
provide free legal counselling.
We look forward to
meeting our new students.

She's late again.
I knew it. She never changes.
We have less than ten minutes left.
(Never let my client end up in prison.)
(Never let my client end up in prison.)
That's the first and last thing
of your advanced fieldwork as lawyers.
But
there are some things
you must follow as lawyers.
Just because you know a bit about the law,
don't interpret it
how you see it and abuse it.
Don't abuse the law
for certain benefits or individuals.
The law must be fair and just for everyone.
One more thing.
The law is flawed.
Finding the flaw and using it
to the client's advantage
is one of the skills lawyers must have.
I used those strategies
to become a so-called successful lawyer.
But I stand here before you,
not as a successful lawyer.
My successful career
came with a lot of shame.
I have a lot of regrets and shame.
So I am trying not to be
a so-called successful lawyer.
I'm just a mere lawyer.
I hope you will arduously think
about the direction that
will bring you to success
instead of fixating on success itself.
Lastly, in whatever circumstances,
you must protect yourselves.
Don't let people walk all over you.
Become a grounded, strong lawyer.
Just like last semester,
there might be a lecture from time to time.
What? Again?
- No way.
- It can't be.
Your grades
will solely be based on
your analysis of a ruling.
That's the only assignment?
- It's that again.
- Come on.
I promised a few things to the
student who came in first
last semester.
The 20 million won to put toward
tuition fees and some more.
And an internship at TK Law Firm.
I already kept my promise
about the monetary aspect.
- What? Who got the money?
- Who was it?
I believe the student who got
the money from me is here.
- Who is it? Was it you?
- Was it you?
I will be interning at your law office,
not at TK Law Firm, right?
As long as you want to.
Oh, please. I'll join you no matter what.
If you don't like my method,
you can drop the class now.
- What is it?
- Hold on.
This is the guest lawyer
of the Legal Clinic Center,
Ms. Song Mi Rim.
If you have any questions
about the rulings,
feel free to ask her any questions.
I know these cases,
so I welcome any questions any day.
Right. The money is off the table
for this semester.
- What? Why not?
- Why not?
I'm broke.
- Come on.
- What about the money?
All right. Everyone, come and get one.
