HANKUK LAW SCHOOL ENTRANCE CEREMONY
2020 HANKUK UNIVERSITY LAW SCHOOL
ENTRANCE CEREMONY
When I failed to overturn my conviction,
I thought the law could kill me.
However, the law did not betray my trust.
The donation I'm making
to Hankuk University, my alma mater,
is my way of apologizing to the law,
which I questioned for a moment.
Excuse me. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. My gosh!
You two again?
I sat between you at orientation.
Seo Ji-ho?
And Min Bok-gi, right?
From what I recall, I'm older than you.
Yeah, sis.
Sorry.
It can be tiring to sit next to me.
Those guys who are staring at me…
they're wasting their time.
I'm taken.
MY HUBBY
Babe, I'll call you when I'm done.
CONGRATULATIONS
What? 5.6 billion won?
You'll give that much to Hankuk Law?
-I'm donating it.
-Right, but why?
-Why would you donate to them?
-You should do it too.
Now that the judicial exam
has been abolished,
we should help law schools
cultivate talent.
Cultivate talent, my foot.
I know it's too late for me now…
but I decided to do it
when the Supreme Court acquitted me.
Also because of Jong-hoon,
who became a professor because of us.
Not because of your nephew?
What are you thinking?
Don't go all crazy
because your son didn't get in.
How could I not be upset?
I have to give a congratulatory speech
when my son won't even be there.
That idiot.
The girl he's seeing got in,
but he didn't.
ENTRANCE CEREMONY
Byeol, bring this. You can come with Mom.
I'm late. See you!
Okay.
Is this really a law school?
Maybe she's fooling us.
It's such a mystery.
How did that troublemaker
get into law school?
I'd believe Dan, but…
Sol can do it too.
Maybe she lucked out and got in.
But will she do well here?
I heard the smartest kids in the country
go to this school.
This is it.
Now, the 11th class
of Hankuk University Law School
will take the oath of admission.
Ms. Kang Sol will take the oath
on behalf of the newly admitted students.
Ms. Kang, please come to the podium.
There is another newly admitted student
with the same name.
Keep this in mind.
Nice to see you here, Prosecutor Yang.
Oh, you're not a prosecutor anymore.
Right, Professor Yang?
You're in no position to say anything
to future judicial officers.
You still can't accept the fact
that it was a gift, not a bribe?
As a law professor
who teaches criminal law,
you shouldn't hold a grudge
against the Supreme Court's decision.
I wouldn't call it a grudge.
It's doubt.
Have you seen Kang Dan since then?
He won't last.
-What about the blood?
-Not yet.
-Prof. Yang is in critical condition?
-You didn't get the text?
My little sister is Rh negative, so I know
how rare it is.
He could actually die
without a transfusion!
Sir! Please let me out!
He could die.
-He won't die.
-Hold on.
-Wait! Let me go!
-Professor Yang
will be okay.
Do not give it to him.
Don't give him your blood.
Okay, then will you give me
half of your inheritance?
He'll really be okay, right?
He's passed the critical stage,
so he'll recover soon.
Thank goodness.
Okay.
They found a donor,
so he has received a transfusion.
You were right.
I told you he'd be okay.
Hey, you're drunk.
You should go to bed.
Come on.
INVESTIGATION AND TRIAL
I CERTIFY THAT THE ABOVE FACTS ARE TRUE
Ji-ho.
Would you write a complaint?
PLAINTIFF SEO JI-HO
MISCELLANEOUS
HAN JOON-HWI
Hey, Joon-hwi.
I have to study. Hey!
Get up. Hey, get up!
Get up.
Gosh, what's taking him so long?
4 ATTACHMENTS
Jeez.
AUTOPSY REPOR
What's up? I'm a busy guy.
Luckily, you got a transfusion,
so you're okay now.
It must've been hard
to find Rh-negative blood.
You were lucky.
We found a donor at the last minute.
I don't know who it is,
but we should thank the donor
for saving his life.
Recovering quickly is one way to do it.
We never disclose our blood donors.
Well, get some rest, then.
Whatever.
You lucked out and regained
your consciousness for a reason.
Can you see it?
Gosh, hold on a second.
It's rare to find a brain hematoma
in a second autopsy.
But Professor Seo Byung-ju's wife
hired a top medical examiner and--
So it's not that they missed it.
They deliberately left it out, right?
Bingo.
SECOND AUTOPSY REPOR
SUSPECTED TO HAVE DIED OF DRUG OVERDOSE
SUBDURAL HEMORRHAGE CAUSED BY A FALL
CANNOT BE RULED OU
Apparently, the first medical examiner
quit and left the country.
His son is in Canada,
so he went there to get cancer treatment,
but I can't reach him.
His family all left with him.
So we can't ask him
why the brain damage was left out?
That's right.
Gosh, this is nuts.
Now there are two likely causes of death.
Darn it.
PLEASE RECYCLE
Gosh, I'm exhausted.
How can you eat now?
Professor Yang nearly died because of you.
Professor Seo too.
You give me the creeps. Get out.
Do you think I'm the killer?
Yes.
Why not suggest that I turn myself in
as a good roommate should?
You'll turn yourself in?
Then do it before the final exams.
I can get an A plus
if you drop out before then.
Oh, because of your grades?
Like you said, as a good roommate should.
You said I creep you out.
If you do that for me,
I'll take back the comment.
Hey.
Why give me a case that won't even pay…
Darn it!
Because of it, I may even have to take on
the attempted murder case!
Is it him?
Can I talk to him?
Who ordered you to do it?
Look at you, Professor Yang.
You still got it.
Do I look like a loser
who just carries out orders?
Got an attorney yet?
Need a recommendation?
What?
My public defender.
He says my case won't pay much.
Spend the money you've made
from being a loan shark.
Pay him good money, and he'll get
your sentence drastically reduced.
When did I say that?
Bodily harm, not attempted murder.
What? For real?
Bodily harm?
You stabbed me due to a personal grudge
but weren't trying to kill me.
PROFESSOR KANG JU-MAN
DECEMBER 2016
What's up?
About my mark--
I said no disputes will be accepted.
May I check my answer sheet?
I need to know what I got wrong
to do better on the finals.
Just a minute.

KANG SOL
Let's go study.
I want to read it.
There's nothing to read.
Prof. Kang has one too.
I thought he hated you,
but he even read your dissertation.
What dissertation? This?
-Wow, you won the grand prize?
-Grand prize?
"Asia Human Rights Dissertation Contest"?
My gosh!
Why didn't I write one in undergrad…
Read it.
You want to be a human rights lawyer.
Can I make a copy of this? Let's all--
No, forget it.
I'm looking for Han Joon-hwi
in first year…
Just talk it out, or I'll call the cops.
You killed my husband for the inheritance?
How could you have the audacity
to walk around the campus?
My gosh!
Are you okay, ma'am?
Why did you do that?
Why do you think your uncle
made the donation and built the mock court
even though I tried so hard to stop him?
How… How could you…
kill your uncle?
HANKUK UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL
That jerk stabbed you.
How could you ask me to represent him?
He'll pay you good money.
He's a loan shark and has a lot of cash.
Still, from attempted murder
to bodily harm?
-Can I really do it?
-Yeah.
There's something, right?
How are you feeling?
So you miraculously found a donor?
He's recovering quickly.
That's great.
That being said,
you should get out on sick bail
before you fully recover.
Got anything to say?
Sorry?
As my attorney.
Oh…
Well…
How should I be released?
On sick bail?
Well…
Sick bail…
-Apply for it.
-No.
Cancel the arrest warrant.
-You actually know things.
-Jong-hoon.
Looks like you also need to explain
why that needs to be done.
Well, if he's released on sick bail,
it'll be a temporary release.
It doesn't quash the warrant--
-I obviously know--
-Of course, I'm sure you know.
But it'll be embarrassing for you
to reverse the decision you had…
We'll make the request.
No, you should do it yourself.
Let's just do it ourselves.
If he has to get it canceled himself,
it'll be so awful--
I want you to do it.
Is this because of the second autopsy?
You have no reason to detain me,
so get it canceled.
He was after his money?
That's why he killed his uncle
who practically raised him?
I witnessed it with my own eyes.
He refused to sign the renunciation form.
Families can be torn apart over money.
Blood may be thicker than water,
but money comes first.
You're not in our study group.
Don't jump to conclusions.
I'm not jumping to conclusions here.
All these circumstances and evidence
are pointing to Joon-hwi.
There's plenty of evidence
pointing to Professor Yang.
Oh, are you hoping
Professor Yang is the killer--
I just hope it's not Joon-hwi.
Turn yourself in.
You don't deserve to teach here.
Joon-hwi.
The prosecutor I admired the most
betrayed his principles.
And my beloved uncle…
hit a kid with his car and killed him.
My whole world collapsed.
I sent the video to Professor Yang.
What?
Turn yourself in now,
before he reports it to the police.
How could you do this?
Please get out of the gutter now.
You ungrateful brat.
LAW AND ORDER THAT PUT PEOPLE FIRS
He's coming out!
BUKBU DETENTION CENTER
How does it feel to be released?
-You didn't kill him?
-Step aside.
-Please, another time.
-Move back.
Out of the way!
If you're that curious,
ask the prosecutor who leaked info
about my charges before indictment.
Nothing has changed.
BUKBU DETENTION CENTER
However, he's seriously injured
and requires medical treatment,
which means he is not likely to flee,
so I've concluded
he doesn't need to be detained.
As a prosecutor, I also have to protect
the accused's rights
for the sake of public interest.
-Out of the way.
-Why are you here?
-A comment, please.
-No, out of the way.
I had arrested him on reasonable grounds,
but he suffered an injury
while in custody,
so I came here out of concern.
But he's not well,
so please try not to bother him.
He said you'd leaked info
about his alleged crime.
-Is it true?
-No, of course not.
My job is to protect…
Read this since you're here anyway.
I'm going to sue Prosecutor Jin Hyeong-u
for publicizing facts
about my alleged crime.
He'll be the first prosecutor
to be indicted and prosecuted
for publicizing facts
about an alleged crime.
-Mr. Jin.
-Do you admit to it?
Is it true?
-Tell us the truth.
-Just a comment!
I'll doze off with my eyes open.
Professor Jung Dae-hyeon's lectures
are like sleeping pills.
Just take them online.
CRIMINAL CODE
-What?
-What's going on?
-Hey, look.
-What is happening?
Why is he here?
CRIMINAL CODE
Kim Cheol-su, a student,
went to the restroom
while out on a date with his girlfriend.
Upon returning, he witnessed Park
sexually assaulting his girlfriend.
So he punched him in the face
and told him to let her go.
Insisting that he did not
sexually assault her,
Park argued with Kim
and punched him in the end.
Park continued to play innocent,
and Kim punched him back out of anger.
They were both charged with assault.
Kim insisted that he had acted
in self-defense, but…
You over there, in sunglasses.
I'm sorry. I've got a sty.
The Court's decision?
Pardon?
Well, the Supreme Court…
I'm sorry.
I came unprepared thinking
Prof. Jung was giving the lecture.
You didn't do the reading?
I was going to do it,
but you suddenly got arrested.
So you thought you didn't have to do it.
Then you shouldn't be here. Get out.
Professor Yang.
If you didn't do the reading, get out.
He's even scarier
now that he's been stabbed.
-Professor.
-Sol A.
The Supreme Court's decision?
Pardon?
Oh, they didn't accept Kim's claim
that he had acted in self-defense.
Why not?
They concluded that it was a fight.
Why can't a fight be ruled self-defense?
Self-defense is a countermeasure
against unfair harm done to oneself,
whereas a fight is a forcible encounter.
He was trying to save his girlfriend.
Isn't it a permissible act
of self-defense?
Then Kim Cheol-su should have--
He should've stopped
after punching Park once.
-Why is that?
-Because the act of punching Park back
in retaliation
is considered an act of self-defense
and an attack at the same time.
It's mutual combat.
Is that right?
Do you really think so?
Only the first time he punched Park
is considered an act of self-defense?
And the sexual assault stopped?
Yes.
After that,
they argued and got into a fight.
-Said the Court. What about you?
-Sorry?
I think…
to not be seen as mutual combat…
Kim shouldn't have fought back.
Then he could've sued him for assault.
You seem annoyed.
I'll try to understand
the Court's decision.
You should question it
instead of trying to understand it.
Pardon?
He'll be the first prosecutor
to be indicted and prosecuted
for publicizing facts
about an alleged crime.
-Mr. Jin.
-Do you admit to it?
-Can we have your comment?
-Please.
Just a comment, please.
-Do you admit to it?
-Do--
I won't ask twice.
Did you push him on purpose?
Will you let me go if I tell you?
What?
I've got class.
The Supreme Court's decisions
can be overturned.
Don't just complain about it.
Question it and persevere
until you find the answer.
Han Joon-hwi.
As you're all probably aware,
Joon-hwi and I
are suspects in the murder
of Professor Seo Byung-ju.
They say I made him overdose,
and Joon-hwi pushed him down the stairs.
Let's say that's a fact.
If he died from a brain hemorrhage
caused by a fall,
what should our charges be?
It'll depend on whether
what Joon-hwi did was intentional.
-If it was an accident?
-Negligence causing death.
As for you, attempted murder.
-If he died of an overdose?
-Murder.
For Joon-hwi,
negligence causing bodily harm.
It cannot be prosecuted
if the victim objects.
The deceased victim
can't demand your punishment,
so you won't be charged.
-If he died of an overdose?
-Seriously?
He won't be charged?
That is not true.
It doesn't mean I'll only be indicted
if the victim
wishes to press charges against me.
It means I'll be let off if the victim
doesn't want me to be charged.
In fact, due to the absence of the victim…
EXPRESSION OF UNWILLINGNESS
…I'll be charged regardless.
TO PUNISH
You still got it.
I need your consent
for the next assignment.
Put yourself in the prosecutor's shoes
and determine which one of us
is more suspicious
based on legal principles and evidence.
I've already uploaded all the materials
you'll need, but keep in mind
they're confidential documents.
CRIMINAL CODE
-Seriously?
-I can't believe this.
Compare the two?
Nothing can faze Yangcrates.
He's invincible.
Negligence charges can be dropped?
It's not just an injury.
But it lacks intent.
If you inflicted bodily injury,
it was intentional.
But it probably wasn't intentional.
CIVIL CODE
CIVIL CODE
CIVIL CODE
Oh, dear.
You all look frazzled, like zombies.
Clearly, Yangcrates is back.
I'm sorry, but I do need to talk to you
about your marks.
I've e-mailed it to you individually,
so make an appointment to see me
in my office.
-Okay?
-Yes, ma'am.
All right, let's begin.
Seven million dollars!
A little mistake led to a massive loss.
Let's first go over this damage case
that took place in the US.
-I thought you'd be crying somewhere.
-This happened
-I'd rather get kicked out and breathe.
-at an American dairy company in 2014.
The employees who were in charge
of shipping out…
So what's the assignment?
They sued the company
for unpaid wages…
"Do not disgrace
the scales of Lady Justice."
That's what your uncle told me
when I met him for the first time
as a probie.
Prosecutors punish those
who have committed criminal acts.
CONVERSATION WITH A PROSECUTOR
More accurately speaking,
a prosecutor's job
is to make sure no one is left
feeling wronged by enforcing the law.
Isn't he a hotshot prosecutor?
He even put a business magnate
behind bars.
Whose dad is he?
"Once a bad person, always a bad person."
To not fall prey
to such bias or prejudice,
she wears a blindfold.
To create a world where
"one law for the rich
and another for the poor"
is simply not allowed,
she holds this sword.
When someone breaks the law,
even if it's the president,
your teacher, or your family,
it shouldn't matter.
Put the person on this scale
so he or she can be punished fairly
according to the law.
HAN JOON-HWI
That is a true prosecutor.
"Be fair…
so no one will be left feeling wronged."
That's what my uncle said…
but he covered up the accident
and wronged the victim even after death.
You should've caught him.
When he deemed Lee Man-ho feebleminded,
you should've caught on.
You should've suspected him
when he insisted the bribe was a gift.
If only he had been arrested…
Did I do it?
Turn yourself in.
Get out of my way.
Why don't you just kill me?
EMERGENCY NUMBER
Just kill me!
Turn yourself in now!
Uncle.
Uncle!
911.
-Is this 911?
-Please speak.
I'm at Hankuk Law's mock court.
My professor fell down the stairs
and went unconscious.
Is he breathing?
One second.
-Uncle.
-Hello?
Uncle, are you all right?
Uncle.
Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Just let me give this lecture.
You hit your head hard.
Shouldn't you see a doctor?
I should've just taken him
to the hospital.
FACTS ABOUT YANG JONG-HOON'S
SUSPECTED CRIME
FACTS ABOUT HAN JOON-HWI'S
SUSPECTED CRIME
Comparing who's more suspicious?
Isn't it so cruel?
You didn't know
how cruel Professor Yang was?
I take it back.
He's not really cruel.
He's awfully persistent.
I'd benefited from it once.
What do you mean?
If I tell you,
will you call me "Sis"?
When did it begin?
Had I known you had feelings for Joon-hwi,
I wouldn't have been so friendly with him.
I must've really irked you.
You were upset about being Sol B--
Not at all,
because you're no match for me.
So?
Who's more suspicious?
I know how you feel,
but based on evidence?
Overdose versus brain hemorrhage
caused by a fall.
If we determine
the immediate cause of death--
It won't be easy.
You don't die right away
from a hemorrhage.
In many cases, it takes a while.
Drugs too. It takes time to be absorbed.
Shouldn't the NFS determine
the immediate cause of death?
I know the director of the NFS very well.
Seriously, I'm not lying.
This case would be a headache
even for him.
All right.
I should curry favor with our future
judges, prosecutors, and lawyers.
Here, have some. Take a break.
Take a break.
Here, have some.
I don't bribe just about anyone.
With you two, it's more like almsgiving.
How do you know if these will be bribes
or alms down the road?
You got a 28. And you, 29.
I see.
Don't pull your hair out, though.
You'll go bald.
You don't need to pull your hair out
because I don't care.
I brought my exam notes.
Feel free to use them.
PRINT, COPY, BOOKBINDING
You don't care?
What do you mean?
The immediate cause is unknown.
I really don't care.
I care.
I killed him.
PRINT, COPY, BOOKBINDING
SUSPECT YANG JONG-HOON, EVIDENCE
The DNA test results,
which are the most reliable evidence,
show that the hair
found in the victim's hand
-belongs to Professor Yang Jong-hoon--
-Hey.
Just say "Professor Yang."
The hair belongs to Mr. Yang.
If he gave him coffee with sugar
because he was showing
symptoms of low blood sugar, it's possible
that he grabbed Yang's hair
during his hypoglycemic shock.
HAN JOON-HWI, EVIDENCE
MOTIVE
DETAILS OF CRIME
As for Mr. Han, the most decisive evidence
-is that he switched the glasses--
-How will you prove it?
I saw him bringing the pair
without a nose pad
from the scene
and hiding it in the dorm room.
But you didn't see him switch the glasses.
Only state facts.
Then take out the part
about him switching the glasses.
Joon-hwi, can't you just tell us
what you did?
I told you guys to only stick
to the evidence we have.
To be honest, I don't understand
why we have to do this.
I do not want
to put either Mr. Yang or Mr. Han
on the scales.
The issue about Joon-hwi's suspected crime
is not if he switched the glasses,
but if he pushed Seo
on purpose or accidentally.
Answer my question.
He tried to stop me
from calling the police,
then he tripped
and rolled down the stairs.
Hey, why are you telling us this just now?
You should've told us
before we let Yang go.
Why are you defending yourself now?
Why didn't you do this sooner?
The more you suspect me,
the less reason you'll have
to keep him detained.
So you did this on purpose?
Because you wanted
to help him get released?
Was it because you wanted me
to return to school soon?
He passed the second-round judicial exam.
Why apply to law school?
That punk scares me.
He used one sneaky trick.
He's about to get locked up
because of Yang Jong-hoon.
I can't believe
he made people suspect him
just to help Yang.
He got us good this time.
You can't determine
the immediate cause of death?
We need to know…
01 PROSECUTORS' OFFICE
Then which one is the most likely cause…
Fine, all right.
Why don't we consult other experts,
not just medical examiners?
Everyone says it's not easy
to pick one as the cause of death.
Jeez, what a mess.
Without the second autopsy…
There's a renowned American
forensic pathologist named Johns Patrol.
I'll contact him for help.
Why can't we figure out the cause?
What if we lose both of them?
That won't happen.
PROSECUTORS' OFFICE
I hope that's the case too.
HEAD PROSECUTOR JIN HYEONG-U SUED
I saw it too.
Have you interviewed the accused yet?
You seem to be doing great.
Investigate the case swiftly
and thoroughly.
I hope you're curious as to why I'm here.
I have a rare blood type.
Recently, I donated blood
and saved a man's life.
HANKUK UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL
I wanted to see if he was alive and well.
Looks like he's doing very well.
Anyone with a conscience would never
deliberately sabotage someone
who saved their life.
For example,
trying to dig up dirt on someone
with a proven alibi
who has clearly turned over a new leaf.
HANKUK UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL
If you saved my life,
you must've had a reason.

Hey, read this.
Did you check your mark?
What? It's already out?
It's 97.
Way to go, Sol B.
I hope I didn't actually get a zero.
You got a 97.
What?

MOM
I…
-I got a 97?
-Hey, Sol!
Criminal Code! Did you see your mark?
Something must've gone wrong.
This can't be.
They didn't give you a zero
for handing it in late!
You won't believe this.
You got the highest mark.
You beat Joon-hwi and Seung-jae.
Did they get me and B mixed up?
-Did the marks get switched?
-Maybe.
I find it hard to believe
that Sol B got a 79.
MOM
I can't believe this.
Hey, your mom's calling.
She's called you seven times.
You should answer it.
It seems urgent.
MOM

I'm in front of the dorms.
Come out, or I'll barge in.
What is this?
Open your eyes.
Open your eyes and look at this!
You won't get an A plus.
You may not get an A
even if you get a 100 on your final exam!
You must be out of your mind.
How could you lose to your roommate?
You'll get a B now that you're called B?
HANKUK UNIVERSITY CAMPUS DIRECTORY
This makes no sense.
I know. It's crazy.
What happened?
-Isn't it so crazy?
-Yeah, I know.
-Gosh.
-How did she do it?
She got a 97?
-Gosh.
-Kang Sol A?
-For real?
-Darn it.
Seriously, I find it so hard to believe.
Hey, guys.
I mean, how?
CRIMINAL CODE
Got complaints about your marks?
Kang Sol A.
Had you not handed it in late and torn,
you would've gotten a 100. It's too bad.
-Pardon?
-Seriously?
-My gosh.
-For real?
-Gosh.
-It makes no sense.
Only one person wrote the correct answer,
which is "Stated facts, defamation."
Kang Sol A.
-What?
-Seriously?
-Why is that correct?
-No idea.
The school confirmed that it was false,
and even Joon-hwi acknowledged it.
The mock trial ruled it
a false defamatory statement.
I don't understand why it's a fact.
-Me neither.
-Totally.
-I don't get it.
-It makes no sense!
Why did you think he stated facts?
At first, I also wrote that it was false
but changed my answer
because of the comma.
-Comma?
-Where?
I noticed the comma between
"received a donation from B"
and "hired B as a professor."
-My gosh.
-It wasn't in Joon-hwi's petition.
The comma means
that the statements about his donation
and appointment are both true.
-My gosh.
-I didn't even notice it.
Darn it.
You failed to identify it
and correctly apply the law.
Any other comments?
-No, sir.
-Nothing?
Pardon? Oh, I'm sorry.
I assumed it'd be exactly the same
as Joon-hwi's petition,
so I missed it.
Prejudgment can be like a deadly poison.
-Anything else?
-Well…
I should always be alert and focused
as one comma can turn false information
-into facts--
-Then tell me.
If what A wrote is true,
should he be found guilty?
In Korea, it can be considered an offense
even if the statement
-is a fact--
-So is he guilty?
No, I wrote that
he should be found not guilty.
Why?
Article 310 of the Criminal Code.
Even if it's a fact-based
defamatory statement,
the act is not punishable
if the facts are true
and solely for the public interest.
It was for the public interest,
-so it is justified.
-Yes.
Joon-hwi, I mean…
A put up the petition demanding the school
clear suspicions surrounding
the donation and the hiring process
and collected signatures
because he was acting
in the public interest as a student--
He could've had a personal agenda.
A and B are related but were on bad terms.
Here's the Supreme Court's decision
on Case 98D2188.
"If the primary objective
was for the public interest,
Article 310 of the Criminal Code
cannot be ruled out
even if there was
a personal agenda involved."
So he's not guilty.
-Gosh.
-What the…
She's very smart.
How could a criminal be allowed
to write questions
for the Criminal Code exam
and even mark them?
He's still just a suspect.
He's not a criminal.
A professor was arrested
and charged with murder.
That, in and of itself,
is an utter embarrassment.
This exam was so important
to the students--
You can speak with the vice dean about it.
Her kid's in 1L.
You can speak with me.
Let's talk in front of the dean.
You don't have any power.
I gave Professor Yang permission
to write exam questions.
So you can speak with me.
Turns out no one noticed the comma.
Except for me!
Yes. I've become a celebrity
because of that comma.
I got the highest mark in my class.
Kang Byeol! I'm not lying.
I'll call you later.
Excuse me!
NATIONAL FORENSIC SERVICE
Hello, I'm a Hankuk Law student.
Didn't you conduct the second autopsy?
I told the prosecutors everything.
Excuse me.
Any chance that it was manipulated?
I heard no one can reach
the first medical examiner.
And the camera happened to break that day.
Hence, no photos or videos.
I saw this while doing my homework.
He was accused of manipulating one
10 years ago.
There's no way he had missed
what you found.
If he saw it, why did he leave it out?
Unless he was ordered
to frame my professor
for drugging the victim to death.
That's enough. He'd never do that.
CITIZENS' POLICE
FOR OUR RIGHTEOUS NATION
How did the interview go?
HAPPY CITIZENS
It wasn't a big deal.
But thanks to you, I'm "the accused" now.
-Did they treat you like a suspect?
-Of course not.
I'm a prosecutor. How dare they--
Drop that attitude and get with the times.
-I'll submit evidence, so you'll--
-What? Be indicted?
You've just been indicted.
I guess you haven't heard.
I've notified the school.
-You're trying too hard.
-Not really.
I bet you thought the two likely causes
of death would be a problem.
But you were wrong.
Both you and Han Joon-hwi
have been indicted.
As joint principal offenders.
JOINT OFFENDERS
That is one groundless conclusion.
It's not groundless.
Han Joon-hwi used such a sneaky trick
to get you out.
If you weren't in on it together,
why would he…
go to such lengths?
Oh, right.
I'm leaking info again, aren't I?
Everyone at the school seems shocked.
Get a lawyer who used to be
a judge or prosecutor this time.
The prosecution delivered
some shocking news earlier today.
Professor Yang and Han Joon-hwi
have been indicted
as joint principal offenders
in the murder.
Pardon me?
"Joint principal offenders"?
I'm sure you're all shocked by the news.
Ms. Oh.
I rushed to call this meeting
to inform you of the school's decision
regarding Professor Yang.
This indictment makes no sense.
They're joint offenders?
Are they writing a novel?
That is for the judge to decide.
Even with the presumption of innocence,
if Professor Yang continues to teach,
it'll lead to more unwanted problems.
So he'll be removed from his position.
-What?
-Gosh.
-Seriously?
-Oh, boy.
Will that be enough?
Shouldn't he be fired?
Isn't it almost the same thing?
Telling him that he can't teach.
No, it's different.
He can keep his professor title.
He can't teach the Criminal Code course
anymore.
Professor Jung,
please continue to fill in.
As for Joon-hwi,
I'll have the vice dean take over.
Joon-hwi submitted his withdrawal letter
this morning.

-Yes.
YANG JONG-HOON
REMOVED FROM CURRENT POSITION
AS OF OCTOBER 26, 2020
"Removed"?
They were both indicted
as joint offenders.
It means they planned the murder together
from the get-go.
We should've seen the whole picture
instead of comparing them.
-This is crazy.
-My gosh!
Hey.

How dare you set foot in here?
Are you going to flee
now that you've been indicted?
You scumbag.
I can't believe you schemed
with Yang Jong-hoon.
"Schemed"?
What's going on?
What are you doing here?
Why did you cremate him?
They dug him up
for the second autopsy,
so burying him again was--
You observed the second autopsy.
Yes, I did.
Were there really signs of bleeding
in his brain?
I couldn't actually observe it
because it was too gruesome.
I fainted, so I saw nothing.
Go help her.
Because it was too gruesome?
Was it not just an act?
What are you talking about?
What are you implying?
Didn't you put on an act to give them time
to manipulate the results?
Come on. Hurry.
What are you suspicious of?
-You said you know the director well.
-I sure do!
-My gosh.
-Long time no see.
The results from the first
and second autopsies don't add up.
I briefly talked to them about the things
that I don't understand.
The examiner just said the usual things,
but his assistant…
DIRECTOR'S OFFICE
DIRECTOR'S OFFICE
They were photos of another corpse,
not Professor Seo.
That's not true.
The examiner recorded
this phone conversation.
Shall I play it in front of him?
I said the cause of death has to be
brain hemorrhage from a fall.
I never told you to whip up two causes!
I said it's not true!
What's with that glare?
I didn't do it.
It wasn't me!
Okay, thank you.
The NFS asked them
to launch an investigation,
so the examiner and the wife
have been booked.
Oh, no. Joon-hwi must be shocked.
It proves that he's innocent,
so he should call it even.
I'm impressed that you pulled this off.
All the digging has paid off.
Joon-hwi managed to clear his name,
but Prof. Yang…
Indictment isn't a joke.
Take responsibility for indicting us
as joint offenders.
You practically wrote a novel.
You should attend my lecture
on joint offenders.
Your charges will be dropped.
I've been dismissed.

You didn't kill him either.
Is there evidence to prove it?
Had you been the killer,
you wouldn't have gotten Sol A
to check Lee Man-ho's alibi.
Maybe I was trying to dump it on him
because I'm the killer.
My alibi hasn't been proven.
Still, I think--
If there's no evidence,
it's just an assumption,
which is unlike you.
The sugar packet--
I'm glad they know you didn't take it.
I'm glad…
that you survived.
Wait, just a second.
Too bad.
I'm O Rh negative. But today, I lost
some of my valuable blood.
My blood is valuable.
Can you get his number?
RARE BLOOD COMMUNITY
WE NEED O RH NEGATIVE
Do not give it to him.
Sure, if that's what you want.
Okay, then will you give me
half of your inheritance?
I can't agree to that.
Then I should give him my blood.
I know you won't.
If Prof. Yang dies just like that,
you'd benefit more than I would.
You really think so?
You're in quite a mess yourself.
So I have no reason
not to donate my blood to him.

I bet you saw that too. I'll go see
-the dean tomorrow.
-Prof. Yang!
The one who took the laptop
is the culprit?
You're fired so you can't show up here
ever again.
You look just like her.
Looked like you never come home.
He was watching our house.
Want to talk to you.
I shouldn't ask though I'm curious.
It's insane.
All the suspects are here.
Is this why you didn't let us
read your paper?
I heard you'd met with Prof. Seo.
Why did you search that?
Whoever dies… I'm not scared of that.
If you did something wrong,
you should pay for it.
If Prof. Seo wanted to take issue with it,
would you have wanted to kill him?
Is it me this time?
